"That's a little high," he said. "I don't like to see the number until I hear the plan." Representatives from the YMCA replied the cost of general upkeep and slight improvements would be in the $1 million range by 2013. The figure takes into ac- count not only the Maitland Recreation Centre, but the Memorial Arena, Agricul- tural Park, the beach front and soccer fields. Councillors Ray Hurd and David Yates both ex- pressed their support for the $400,000 annually, with Yates adding that even one major capital purchase can eat up most of the potentially -allocat- ed amount. "Right here (in the Me- morial Arena) we have a zamboni that's going to be $80 to $85,000," he said. "That eats it up right there." Council decided to keep the payment amount and its high priority on their to-do list. LIBRARY The request for a feasi- bility study on the third floor of the Goderich Pub- lic Library will again have to wait, as the new town hall will provide storage for files currently housed in the library mezanine, freeing up space in the public building. Councillor Heather Ly- ons asked if the study couldn't still be done to better utilize the space at the library. "We have a building that isn't being fully used," she said. McCabe said any study done now just means more money spent later, a senti- ment echoed by Councillor Ray Hurd. "It begs to agree that no further action be taken," he said.

"Building cultural assest is good for all of us," said Deputy - Mayor John Grace. Coun. David Yates said the creation of museum space is un- realistic for the airport terminal building, however council dis- cussed leasing the building to the county or to neighbouring Ash- fied-Colborne-Wawanosh, as the museum space would showcase Port Albert material. Mayor Deb Shewfelt said the town should not act until hearing from Huron County. "We're not leading the parade here," he said. "Let's wait for the county." ET CETERA A memorandum of understand- ing is in the works between the town and the Goderich Little Theatre, dictating the roles of both organizations as the push for a town cultural centre enters its next phase. Progress has been made over the past year to bring the CPR station on the Goderich water- front up to code, and requests .for proposals will be going out to find private investors for the building. A look into contracting out costs for Goderich's works and cemetery maintanence positions met with a dead end, as the mon- ey saved is not significant enough to prompt major change. Downtown revitalization will continue to be on the docket, but no action will be taken as there are no senior government funds to offset any major work. Development of Victoria Park has plateaued with the 2008 addi- tion of the splash pad and wash- rooms, and council deemed no further work needed to be done. However, there could be an in- crease of traffic this summer, as the YMCA looks to hold some of their summer children's pro- gramming in the park. "Autumn is...a second spring
