1. ADOPTION OF MINUTES
MOVED by Councillor Kitchen, Seconded by Councillor Rudik
THAT the minutes 7/70 of a meeting held on
Wednesday, July 8th., 1970 be adopted as
presented.
CARRIED.
2. BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES
The minutes of a meeting held on Wednesday, June 24th., 1970
be amended to contain Councillor Chatten's name as one of the
Committee members present.
3. SWIMMING POOL REPORT
Mr. Bass was directed to prepare reports on four assumptions
written in a recent article appearing in a local weekly
Newspaper.
1.By letting the Pickering Pronghorns go to Scarborough through
neglect and what appeared to be outright disdain for their
program.
.2.By instituting an outrageously expensive swimming program and
renting a poòl which has failed to make moaey.
3.By failing to support the West Rouge Canoe Club in their fight
against the Conservation Authority.
4.By alienating many people who have served in recreation in the
Township in the past.
Mr. Bass has put us at least one step backwards. The article
continues by making mention of an unauthorized trip to Ottawa
that reportedly cost the taxpayers $2,000.00. This latter
assumption was clarified by Mr. Ashe who pointed out that the
correct cost was $147.55.

3. SWIMMING POOL REPORT (cont'd.)
Motion 28/70
MOVED by Councillor Kruger, Seconded by Councillor Kitchen
THAT we invite Mr. Beddall and Mr. Saccoccio submit
preliminary designs for a Swimming Pool to be located
at the Arena or other sites. That the cost of the poól
be approximately $350,000.00. That the successful
Arc.itect be asked to submit preliminary cost estimates
of a pool of standard and Olympic size for cost comparison
purposes. That the Recreation Director be instructed to
negotiate with hydro, and tú co-ordinate the internal
departments in the Township, regarding problems relative
to the Arena site including parking, financing and other
points. To negotiate with any external agencies which
might be necessary. That Council, through the Parks &
Recreation Director, negotiate the times and costs for use
of the pool, with the County Board of Education on approx-
imately the reciprocal of the Agreement between the County
Board of Education and the '~Ci ty of Oshawa relative to the
General Vanier Secondary School, but at all times ensuring
that in matters of control and priority the Township has a
sovereign position. That it is the objective of Council
to construct the pool with all speed.
CARRIED.
4. LETTER FROM MRS. D. R. LINDON RE: NEED FOR FENCE ON NORTH SIDE
OF BALSDON PARK.
This letter was read to the Committee by the Chairman following
which it was decided that Council would take no "further action
until the Director had presented a report to Council outlining
the work that should be completed, cost of improvements, extensive
way in which the park is being used now and how the use of the
park could change.
Motion 29/70
MOVED by Councillor Kitchen, Seconded by Councillor Chatten
THAT an estimate on the cost of completing the work requested
in Mrs. D. R. Lindon's letter Re: BaIsdon Park be presented
to the Committee at the next meeting.
CARRIED.
5. LETTER FROM MRS. ABRAHAM RE: USE OF ARENA COMMUNITY CENTRE AS
DAY CARE CENTRE FOR THE BAY RIDGES MONTESORRIE CLUB
The letter was discussed by the Committee, after which the
Committee decided that Mrs. Abraham's letter would be kept
on file until a decision is reached as to whether the Township
shall operate a Day Care Centre or rent it to an organization.
Mr-..- Bass in c.onsoltation with Mr. Pearce, the Welfare
Co-ordinator is to draw up a report regarding the need for
Day Care Centres throughout the Township, and the best means
of opcr.ation of such Centres if they are required.
