"Do we want to gamble .another • year and get 50 c'cnt dollars'?" asked reeve Bob Fisher, who was con- cerned this project is well overdue. • Clerk -treasurer Maureen Regier confirmed Zurich has over S20,000 ' set aside for sidewalk repairs. At $12:50 a foot for present sidewalk costs, they have only enough funds for a third -of a mile. Regier also stated that nothing was wrong with this year's .PRIDE application. Out of 300 applica- tions, only 70 were accepted. "We can take a chance one more year and sec What happens," said councillor Paul Morrison. Fisher pointed out every year of delay meant an increase in the pro- ject's cost. "Every year you put it off you are looking at another buck a foot, probably" he said. year • Council decided to gamble on a successful PRIDE application next year, otherwise •the village will have.. to rebuild only those side- walks -it can afford. Council is considering a restruc- ture of the Zurich Bingo•Board in order to keep the organization run- ning. The board will be expanded to include another . member from Zurich at largo "It's- just a way for us to keep a linger on it and for Maureen to.still sign cheques," explained Fisher. . Although Zurich receives 40 per- cent of the bingo profits, the vil- lage cannot have a bingo license be- cause it is not • a charitable organization. The Zurich Lions, the Chamber of Commerce, the Figure Skating Club, and the Rec- reation Centre arc represented on the currcnt board. "None of these people right now will sign a- license because they don't have the insurance," said Fish- • er. He has been assured the village insurance can be used to cover the bingo at no extra cost. The present license expires in September and restructuring of the Ix)ard will have to be determined by that time.
