The meeting had been called by the rec. com- mittee in conjunction with the township councilmen and under the management of Rural Outreach Development of the University of Guelph. The main purpose of the meeting was to assess the residents' leisure and recreational interests and participations, and to learn if there, ,are any needs for more facilities in the area. Also, because of the very generous monetary gift from the Woon estate, which was earmarked specifically for a town- ship hall, the residents were asked to list their greatest concerns re the building of the said hall. Although the daily paper had quoted 85 people attending the public meeting, there were actually 100 people`s who took part in . the meeting - some late arrivals having not registered. Those who had come to the meeting with prime issues to debate were held at bay, perhaps in frustration while everyone present was allowed to participate in small groups, using pencils and paper assessing the township's recreational interests and facilities. They then congregated for reports from each group. Discussions then followed, with Gerry Ginn handling the an- swers ably. Some of the concerns listed were as follows; ,maintenance costs, location of the building, architect's fees, traffic flow and was there indeed Because of the negative attitude which was im- plied in the London Free Press story, the ministry of culture and recreation agent, Al Sinclair called for a special meeting with the council and recreation members to discuss a change in plans. 'This meeting took place Friday June 15 at 9:30 a.m. In an April -3 meeting with Mr. Sinclair; he had given the go ahead as to a Wintario grant assistance to the township building when plans were to be established by Aug. '79 without requiring a feasibility study done by a professional group. However, on their own, the rec committee at- tempted to do a needs study by a questionnaire form in the rec newsletter and then a second public meeting which had been widely advertised. (The first public meeting was held on township election night of Dec. 77 with a poor attendance.) The point)Ir. Sinclair wished to make was that he had changed his mind and now wanted a feasibility study done re the hall. Gerry Ginn, rec chairman lamented, "I am very disappointed that the government department would base their decision on a newspaper report". Mr. Sinclair replied that newspaper stories can hang politicians but he preferred to be the devils advocate and press the township for a good hard look at our needs. He said that a feasibility study should be carried out by someone unrelated to the subject. After a lengthy discussion Mr. Sinclair agreed to these arrangements. The total study will contain, an overall report of the survey at the public meeting prepared by a rec member, 11.0 together with an overall report of the same meeting from the Rural Outreach people of Guelph University plus a report or .tne arcnitects study of a second site proposal, along with answers to a list of questions submitted by Wednesday, June 20 from Al Sinclair. Therefore, there will be a further delay until a report can be compiled. However, when done, the question of why, where, how or if a township hall should be built will be answered. Meanwhile, Mr. Sinclair promised he would keep our file for a Wintario grant open for a longer waiting. period (having applied over 1 year ago). Another important proposal was given by Ron McKay, the new principal of Holmesville school in the fall. Mr. McKay said that although he was a physical education "nut" he did not wish to jog his students for Phys. Ed. classes to the proposed site for the hall (beside Highway 8) as it was too far. He estimated -it would take 80 percent of class time moving to and from the place, leaving very little time for actual classes. His suggestion was to seek a site closer to the existing school to erect the hall. If a suitable gymtorium were erected the school could make good use of it while their school maintenance man could also maintain the care of the hall. Further investigation is pending. The architect, Brian Garrat reported that verbal consent has been given but they are still waiting tpr written ap- proval from the ministry of highways for positioning of the light standards for the softball field. Dave Halo Electric will be contacted to make the installation as soon as consent has been received. ~ - The meeting adjourned until the regular open monthly meeting Wed.
