Ree board approves net
1986 bu get of X330,000
The Goderich Recreation Board approv-
ed its 1986 budget at a special meeting last
week and it was sent off to council for fur-
ther scrutiny.
The 1986 edition of the recreation budget
calls for expenditures of $640,144 and an-
ticipated revenues of $309,505 for a net
budget off $330,639. The board's budget for
the 1985 calendar year included expen-
ditures of $521,460 which, was offset by
revenues of $282,900 for a net budget of
$238,560.
While the net budget represents an in-
crease of about $90,000 over that of"1985,
the board agreed to include a capital ex-
penditure of $60,000 in the budget for the
construction of a hydraulic lift in the
,arena. The lift, which would -give the han-
dicapped access to the arena auditorium
and ease the movement of equipment and
supplies from the lower level to the
auditorium, is not eligible for grants and
the entire $60,000 would have to come from
the budget and donations.
Board member Butch Desjardine said it
was time the board seriously considered
installing the elevator adding that service
clubs should be approached to hell) with
the project. Ron Klages reiterated the
need, for the elevator saying, "it's a public
building and everyone has a right to the
facility."
The board's budget also reflects a
$40,000 expense for its master plan and
$20,000 in offsetting revenues. Other major
capital expenditures include; $3,700 for
pool filter elements; $3,000 for chairs and
fencing at the arena; $3,244 for a sprinkler
system in the tractor and race secretary's
room; • $1,500 for electric lifts for the
overhead doors and $5,000 for rubber floor-
ing for two arena dressing rooms.
Office administration expenses have
been estimated at $140,900 while revenues
have been calculated at $30,500. Arena ex-
penses, which includes the cost of the
elevator, are estimated at $285,644 with
revenues set at $170,050.. Expenses for the
Ron Feagan Memorial Grandstand and
Agriculture Park are expected to reach
$60,000 with revenues amounting to
$35,500. Rental rates for the outdoor
facilities will increase by $1 across the
board and the grandstand floor rental rate
will rise to $150. Rental fees for the arena
auditorium will increase by five per cent.
Judith Gooderham Pool expenses have
been estimated at $45,150 while revenues
should amount to $23,700.
This `summer the recreation board
agreed to pay higher wages to qualified
staff, withe maximum rate reaching $6 per'
hour, to reflect the cost incurred by young
people pursuing swimming certification
levels and also to offer fair compensation
for qualifications.
Recreation director Jane Netzke pointed
out that applications for beach and pool
patrol dwindled substantially last year,
due in part to the wage scale. The board
agreed that qualified lifeguards should be
compensated. This year, beach expenses
are expected to reach $8,200.
Program expenses of $70,000 will be
reduced by over $37,000 in' projected
revenue and mini -community centre ex-
penses of $8,600 will be reduced by $2,500 in
revenue.
In approving the budget for submission
to council, board member John Doherty
commended Netzke on the preparation of
the document. "Jane does a super job on
the budget and she doesn't put in things
that aren't needed."
