The Citizen, 2016-03-31, Page 7THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 2016. PAGE 7. Council reiterates township's 14/19 funding limit Continued from page 1 14/19 Inc. who approached the provincial government regarding the funding opportunity. Campbell said he didn't want the municipality to end up paying $1 million because 14/19 Inc. had spent the funds "somewhere else." "That's why we have to enter into an agreement with 14/19 Inc. to talk about how that money is going to flow because we are the owner of the building," Chief Administrative Officer Sharon Chambers explained. Councillor Trevor Seip also had some doubts about 14/19 Inc. and the funds, stating he wanted to make sure the agreement had specific details as to any risk involved. "Council can only be accountable for up to $500,000," he said. "If [the agreement] is signed, 14/19 Inc. [is] on the hook. Yes, it's our facility, but they have to be on the hook for the project." Chambers said the concerns would be brought up during future discussions with 14/19 Inc. Seip was also concerned that the council's requests for updates from 14/19 Inc. have gone unheeded. "[Councillor Bill] Knott has asked for an update from 14/19 Inc.," Seip said, referring to Knott's requests both in 2015 and January of this year to have 14/19 Inc. provide an in- person update at a council meeting. "We know where the $3.3 million is coming from, but we still don't know where the rest of the money is coming from. I'm okay with moving forward, but it's always that unknown that I'm worried about. If they aren't willing to come here, it makes it even a bigger concern." Chambers explained that much of the financing came from private donors for which, until recently, 14/19 Inc. couldn't provide a source. "There are a lot of things going on behind the scene," she said. "They haven't been able to communicate with you what their funding plan has been. We have discussed it, and I have discussed with them about coming forward with their fundraising plan." Reeve Neil Vincent added that 14/19 Inc. is attempting to leverage the township's commitment and the province's announcement to find other sources, including federal funding opportunities. "We know some things, but can't say anything about it until the person supplying the money is ready to announce it," he said. Newson explained that, in discussions, 14/19 Inc. and the province are aware of the time constraints placed on the renovations by the Blyth Festival's season and said there are still other funding opportunities waiting to come in. Knott said he understands the time constraints, but just wants to make sure the township isn't going to be on the hook for more than its commitment despite the fact that it's the municipality's building. "I just want to make it clear, once we get the contracts, that even though we own that building, we need to make sure we're covered for our $500,000 limit," he said. "In the event we're short funding, they are still going to be responsible. We said $500,000 and that's the limit." Councillor Brock Vodden said the township's stance has always been they would not agree to anything until the financial backing was there. "I understand they are frantically meeting with the federal government, but we're not getting into any expenditure until it's all planned," he said. "We can't control the governments. We can't control a lot of things, but we have to make sure we have got this guarantee and not be reckless."
