CONSTRUCT PICNIC SHELTER
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT the correspondence dated June 24, 1994 from
R.D. Clow of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation
Authority be received; and
2 . THAT the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority be

REPORT:
1. BACKGROUND
i
At its meeting of July 11, 1994, Council referred the
correspondence from Central lake Ontario Conservation
Authority to staff for review.
Essentially, C.L.O.C.A. applied to the Regeneration Trust for
funding to construct a $40,000. picnic shelter in the
Bowmanville Harbour Conservation Area. However, the Trust
approved $20,000. and required C.L.O.C.A. to provide the
matching fund. Apparently, the matching fund was not included
in C.L.O.C.A. 's budget.
2 . Having reviewed the subject matter and in consultation with
senior staff, I would recommend that Council decline the offer
from C.L.O.C.A. to provide the matching fund to construct the j
shelter on the following grounds:

a) The Municipality does not have $20,000. set aside in this
year's budget for miscellaneous capital work expenditure;
b) It would not be appropriate for the Municipality to
expend funds to construct a project on lands owned by
another government agency; and
c) Assuming the Municipality can come up with $20,000. , this
project may not be the priority of the Municipality.
Respectfully submitted,

Dear Madam:
At its regular June 1994 meeting, this Authority' s Board received
' a staff report concerning recent correspondence sent to this Authority
by the Waterfront Regeneration Trust,
i
The Trust had informed this Authority, by letter, that preliminary
confirmation had been given to a proposed 1994-1995 Waterfront Trail
Program project for this Authority's Bowmanvil.le Harbour Conservation
Area, located in the Municipality of Clarington.
This project was to be the construction of a picnic shelter, with
a total estimated cost of $40,000. The Trust will fund one half
r of this cost. This Authority is unable to fund the other half of
this project from within its approved 1994 budget. At the June 1994
J meeting, the Authority passed the following resolution:
"THAT the Municipality of Clarington and the Town of Whitby
be given the opportunity to provide matching funds from:
a) allocation from municipal funds, or
b) reallocation of Authority scheduled 1994 projects within
their municipality,
3 AND THAT a response be received by the Authority no later
than July 20th, 1994 ."
Would you please bring this matter and the above Authority resoltiitili �r ;�
( to the attention of municipal_ council, for deliberation, and i r�r
the undersigned of the subsequent outcome. ' `-Y fyyf//•//-/' ;��.X
Yours truly, ._ .._ . . .. .
