Designated Property Grants In a recent telephone conversa- tion, Paul King, of the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation informed the Town of Scaforth it can expect to receive between 85 and 100 per cent of the designated property grant amount requested for 1994. "This is very positive, con- sidering at the outset we were only guaranteed to receive a maximum of 53,000 in grant monies for 1994," stated Cathy Garrick, Dep- uty -Clerk Economic Development Coordinator, in her September rcport to council. Scaforth approved in principle grants totalling 56,115 which repre- sents 512,230 in work being done this year to designated properties in town.

Grant for Sidewalks Administrator James Crocker has been instructed_ by _ the Town's Transportation and Environment Committee to investigate the possi- bility of obtaining grant money for a sidewalk replacement program through the Infrastructure Program. Crocker will apply for a total grant of $105,000 for the town's sidewalk repairs. Out of that amount, the town would cover 535,000. "That's 20 years of John's sidewalk work," said Crocker refer- ring to Road Superintendent John Forrest. "It's the only way to get caught up - doing a big project like that," said Crocker. The Adminis- trator is looking into additional funds that might be available under the Infrastructure Program. Scaforth Town Council recently received a letter from a long-time Coleman St. resident complaining about a sidewalk on that street. "it is not only a disgrace but treacher- ous to walk on. You must use the road," wrote Betty Leonhardt. Damage at Public Parks in the September report of Seaforth Council's Transportation and Environment Committee, Seaforth Administrator James Crocker reported he has had a number of very positive comments about the town's new parkctte between the T.D. Bank and the Post Office Building. Superintendent Forrest noted that one bench has been broken as well as a small sign. Seaforth Mayor Hazel Hildebrand reported she has received a com- plaint regarding the condition of Victoria Park. There has been con- siderable damage to a picnic table, a garbage bin and the railing of the bandshell. Large groups of young people, as many as 30 and 40, arc congregating in the park at all hours making it a very uninviting place for seniors and young families to visit and use.

According to the finance commit- tee report, the town followed pro- cedure and submitted the request to the town's insurance adjusters. in this particular case, the insurance adjusters denied t;ic request as the town has shown no negligence in taking precautions against this type of accident. Following the recom- _mcndalion S1f-. their adjuster, the town will not reimburse the 550 deductible fee, Homecoming Promotion The Homecoming '95 Committee had requested the Seaforth BIA change the date of their 1995 Moonlight Madness promotion to August 4 - Homecoming Weekend.
