'fhe facility will inciude wnshrooms, storage room and a concession. At that time, the depwtment ndvised the P.B.A. that the Town was not in a financial position to assist their request. Further, we adviscd that there would be approval required Gom Tha Toronta and Region Conservation Authority, as the facility would be within a regulated area. Subsequently the P.B.A. prepared preliminary site plans and a design plan for a facility. The Department of Pnrks & Facilities submitted these plans to The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority on behalf of the P.B.A. for review. In 1998, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority approved the construction, as per the 1984 original plan nnd subsequent P.B.A. plans. The P.B.A. was aJvised again that funds from the Town were not availablc and that proper architectural, cngineering and sitc plans wcre rcquircci. Thcy havc reccntly obtained all required plans through a local ArchitccturaUEnginccring finn. Thc plans were approvcd by thc Chicf BuilJing O�cial anJ subscqucntly fonvardcd to thc Sitc Plan Advisory Committce for considcration. Thc Sitc Plan Advisory Committce has rcyucsted lhat Council approvul bc obmined for lhis facility prior to considcration by thc Sitc Plan Advisory Committcc, as thc facility is located in a City Park. Givcn that thc P.E3.A. is prcp;vcd to pay all construction costs (cst. 540,000) that thc neccssary approvals have bcen granted by thc Toronto and Rcgion Conscrvation Authoriry, anJ Ihat this initiativc is cnJarsed by thc Departrtient of Operations and Emcrgency Scrviccs,l believc this is a viablc and valuablc projcct for thc P.B.A. and thc pazk uscrs at largc. Thcrc arc no capital costs to the Ciry, however we woulJ be paying seasonal operating costs cstimated at 5500 annually. The P.B.A. will operate the concession and maintain the facility at their cost, simitar to the nrrangcment with Pickering Rcp Fastball ut Kinsmen Purk. All operational insurance will be the responsibility oC P.B.A. Ac:ual insurancc for the structure will be thc City's responsibility, as the facility will belong to the City upon completion. No fortnai ngrccments have been nccessary for this urtangement, which providcs both pactics with the ubility to modify arrangemcnts for spceial situations (i.e. Canada Day, etc.). The P.B.A. has been an integral community sport association in Pickcring for 20 ycars and their interest in providing, at no cost to the Ciry for Capital construction, a park faciliry of this nature is to be commendcd. It is thc recommendation of the Depnrtmcnt of Operations & Emergency Serviccs that thc proposal of thc P.B.A. to construct an emcnitics facility in Brockridge Pnrk bc approvcd.
