petted amount. If not, their
budget slash will not be as severe
as anticipated after a meeting
April
the April Al April 12 meeting, council
tentatively decided to give the
pee committee $8,500 from the
general rate. This left the
committee over $9,000 short of
their requested fund, according
to i 1arold Green, council member
and one of the two members of
council on the recreation com-
mittee. On the other side, Reeve
Bob Shaven felt the committee
would be just about at or at their
requested budget picture.
The discrpancy came from two
different interpretations of the
grant structure.
Shaven maintained that money
granted to the recreation com-
mittee was actually given to the
municipality, not the recreation
committee. Assuming this, had
council given the requested
$12,680, coupled with the grant
money, the recreation committee
would have over $15,000.
Green took the view that the
money given in grants to Grand
Bend for recreation would not
have come had there never been
a recreation committee and
therefore council was not giving
them any money at all since the
$8,500 does not meet the salary
expenses and book figures which
council would be required to meet
with or without the rec com-
mitt ee.The bulk of the salaries go
In paying lifeguards,
The dispute reached a head
April 12 and was culminated
Monday night when Green
reported to council that the rec
committee, although unhappy
with the general rate grant,
would accept it.
The financial picture
brightened, however, when
Sharen pointed out that the $8,500
stipend from council was just a
beginning. That, with a $500 grant
from Bosanquet Township, $2,700
in grant money in the recreation
Committee bank account, and
between $500 and $1,000 expected
in grants puts the committee well
within reach of their request.
The $2,700 bank account is
comprised of $2,500 in grant
money and $200 interest, With
this extra $200, it is possible
taking the optimum amount of
grant money available, that the
recreation committee could
finish up with $12,700 for 1976.
That is $20 more then they
requested.

Even though the financial
picture of the recreation com-
mittee is better then expected,
councillors Harold Green and Bill
Baird, council representatives on
the committee, are making in-
nuendoes that they would like to
step down from the committee.
Both Green and Baird joined
council in decrying the lack of
accomplishments of the com-
mittee, but Green and Baird had

different reasons.
Green felt the committee was
underfinaneed, and council's
desire to have them raise their
own money was unrealistic
considering the amount of time
required.
If council wanted the com-
mittee to raise funds, they should
get nine retired people, "he added.
"I'm sure as hell losing interest
and others are too" said Baird,
who feels the job and role of the
committee should be more
clearly defined.
Reeve Bob Shaven agreed with
Baird, seeing a clearer definition
of the role as a step forward.
Then he turned around and threw
it back in the laps of the
recreation committee to come up
with the definition and the plans
to appease council who is
becoming increasingly hostile
towards the committee and what
they all see as their inaction.
