arena must meet set health

Council agrees to drop
surcharge ' .for recreation
•
Wingham council has
endorsed a proposal from the
recreation board • which
would -eliminate the sur-.
charge to residents of other
municipalities , using the
town's recreational facil-
ities.'
Art Clark and Rennie
Alexander from the
recreation Ward attended
the council meeting Monday
night to explain how, by
making use of an available
grant program, the town
Zould drop the surcharge
without losing revenue. •
In fact. Mr. Clark told
council, it might 'even in-
crease revenue slightly
through attracting more
people to •participate in
Wingham 'recreational .pro-
grams.
He explained that the
Ministry of Culture and
Recreation makes available
a grant to pay for hiring staff
to run recreation programs.
Currently The townships
don't qualify. for the grant
because t hey have no staff. .

sentatives have agreed the

town could bill the townships
for leadership services
provided by employees of the
Wingham Recreation
Department, and the 'town-•
ships then could apply for the
grant to cover this fee.'
The result would be that
township residents • would
pay exactly the same
registration fee for
recreation programs as
people in Wittgham, 'Mr..
Clark said. It would costthe
townships nothing' extra in
taxes and could provide
some extra revenue for the
town's recreation programs,
though not enough to
eliminate the deficit which is
picked up by council.
He said the three
surrounding townships have
been approached with the
proposal. Turnberry.
responded favorably, while
Morris was non -committal
and wanted more time to
think it over; East
Wawanosh "has always
cooperated".
He asked town council for
a . resolution rescinding the
surcharge and entering into
an agreement with the town-
ships regarding the leader-
ship grants. Council agreed
to have its clerk draw up 'a
suitable resolution for ap-
proval.
