CARRIED - l0 - 17/69 Councillor Kitchen was not in agreement with the allocation of funds for recreational purposes requesting further money be made available to the Bay Ridges Parks Board. Councillor Kitchen produced the following letter. Bay Ridges Parks Board, Secretary's Office, 882 Modlin Road, Bay Ridges, Ontario. June 16, 1969. Reeve, Deputy Reeve, Members of Council, Township of Pickering. Gentlemen: As you are-.aware the Bay Ridges Parks Board are responsible for Mitchell Balsdon and Douglas parks the largest in the area and serving all the community east of Frenchman's Bay to Sandy Beach Road in wards 3 and 4. The Board serves at least 25 percent of the Township's population within this area. The Board during the summer months runs in conjunction with recreation a supervisory program for up to 700 children per day in the above mentioned parks. This is close to the number of children in all the other parks in the Township combined. .Along with this, the Board supplies a baseball service to teams in the area playing in Township league..Oshawa City District.. Lakeshore Mens..and the P.W.S.U. girls league, All these local teams use the facilities of Balsdon Park which is one of the best if not the best maintained ball field in the area. Along with these teams mentioned the ~[inor Softball Association uses the park for their league games which with all above mentioned teams is a total of 410 players involved. Mitchell Park has this year along with baseball being played started a Soccer League which involves the total of 100 boys. These are all established programs carried on in the parks by the Board for an age group from 5 to 35 years and plus. In view of the above mentioned responsibilities we find it difficult to maintain let alone develop further our program to serve the people in this area. Based on the useage alone the amount allocated to this Board on a reduced budget of $6,000.00 is totally inadequate to maintain the Status Quo. The budget as originally submitted was honest and factual ba~ed on ~heneed~ af ~he area. It is the request of this Board to reconsider and review the budget so submitted by this Board. Trusting this receives your early consideration we remain, Yours truly, W. Robson, Chairman of the Board. Members of Council further discussed the allocation of $7,000.00 of recreation money for the purpose of a recreational director, stating that they felt the hiring of a director at this time was premature,.and further were of the opinion that for the year 1969 the $7,000.00 should be distributed to those groups and organizations whose budgets were reduced. Some of the members of Council were concerned that since the arena and swimming pool hav® not yet received, O.M.B. approval, that the hiring of a director should be delayed at least until he would have the facilities with which to work. - ll - 17/69 Other members of Council argued that the need for a recreational director is now. It is essential that the various recreational groups be co-ordinated and organized and further that the allocation of funds for the purpose of recreation should be done by a properly qualified person. The need for a director exists now and should have been filled a long time ago. Resolution #134/69 MOVED by Deputy Reeve R. Chatten, seconded by Councillor J. Kruger, that the Township Engineer be authorized to call tenders for the following vehicles - (a) Survey vehicle (station Wagon) (b) New cab and chassis for Sanitation Department° The monies for these expenditures are included in the 1969 budget estimates. CARRIED Resolution #135/69 MOVED by Councillor R. Mason, seconded by Deputy Reeve R. Chatten, that the pumper from South-West Picketing Fire Hall be loaned to the Town of Ajax for approximately three weeks at no rental charge, on the express understanding that it be returned to the Township immediately during an emergency and that some alternate arrangements be made if the pumper were required by the Township for more than two hours. CARRIED Resolution #136/69 MOVED by Councillor D. Kitchen, seconded by Councillor V. Rudik, that Colin Beal and Don Kitchen be appointed as Township representatives to the Central Ontario Regional Development Council for the year 1969. CARRIED Notions 1.
