Mr. Gino Marrocco, representing the Fairport Beach Community Association, stated that he did not oppose the expansion of the Vaughan Willard Public School as a community facility but felt that the Fairport Beach Community Centre should be given priority because he requested funding for this facility last October 22 and November 5, 1979. The Fairport Beach Community Centre could be programmed for any time, be used by any group and liquor could be served and the question of ownership of the property has been cleared. 2. Mr. Jim Keast, representing the Lookout Point Homeowner's Assocation, stated that he is opposed to isolated community facilities, such as the Vaughan Willard Public School expansion and asked that funding for facilities be expanded on a facility that could be used by the entire Town. - 47 - 10/80 3. Mr. C. McFarland, representing the West Shore Community Association, stated that he does not support expansion of the Vaughan Willard Public School because it would be too small and felt that the Town requires a facility that is central- ized and larger. 4. Mr. Brian Currie, representing the Amberlea Comm- unity Association, stated that he was not opposed to the expansion of the Vaughan Willard Public School but asked why the Durham Board of Education is building a smaller than normal gymnasium at Vaughan Willard school and making the Town pay the difference for a larger facility if it wants a community use. The size of the Vaughan Willard school expansion would be inefficient and a large central facility would be preferable. Nr. Currie asked that a reserve of $150,000.00 be established for a community facility in Amberlea. 5. Mr. Rick Hull, representing the Rosebank Community Association, stated that local communities should remain identifiable and that he supports the expansion of the Vaughan Willard school but asked that any negotiations with the Durham Board of Education be subject to the Town having control of the facility after school hours.
