EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

The Community Partnership Major Capital Program is an intiative to implement major capital improvements to parks and recreation facilities on a cost-sharing basis.  The City's budget for the program is set annually. 

Applications are reviewed and funds allocated annually as per the program's guidelines, with the Department reporting back to Committee and Council regarding the disposition of funds and projects.

 

RÉSUMÉ

 

Le Programme de partenariats communautaires pour les grands projets d'immobilisations est une initiative visant à apporter d'importantes améliorations aux parcs et aux installations récréatives selon le principe du partage des coûts. La partie du budget de la Ville qui est allouée à ce programme est établie annuellement. Les demandes sont examinées et les fonds sont distribués chaque année conformément aux lignes directrices du programme. Le Service doit faire rapport de la sélection des projets et de l'attribution des fonds au Comité et au Conseil.

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

At its meeting of December 8, 2004, City Council approved the Community Partnership Major Capital Program that seeks to achieve the following program objectives:

 

The Community Partnership Major Capital Program provides opportunities to enter into partnerships with community groups to implement major capital projects for new development, renovations and expansions to parks and recreation facilities.  These are projects that are larger in scale and which cannot be financed through the Community Partnership Minor Capital Program where the maximum contribution is limited to $7,500.   Major capital projects in non-City owned facilities are eligible for a maximum of 25% City contribution of the total eligible project costs, and 50% contribution for those in City-owned facilities. 

 

Per the program’s guidelines, the Department is to report back annually to Committee and Council regarding the disposition of funds and projects.  This report provides a listing of projects recommended for approval in principle for funding as part of the 2010 allocation process.

 

DISCUSSION

 

A total of six proposals were submitted March 1, 2010.  Of the six project applications received and evaluated this year, five of the projects were eligible and have been recommended for approval in principle with the total requested funds in the amount of $589,250.  The 2010 budget envelope approved is $600,000. 

 

Document 1 provides a listing of approved projects, a brief description, funds requested and projected timeline. 

The amounts indicated are approximate based on preliminary project estimates submitted by the community as part of the application process, and are subject to change as additional project details become available. 

 

It is noted that due to the magnitude of the projects, the requirement for additional documentation, validation of proposed costs and business plans, technical feasibility, it’s the Branch’s intention to approve these projects “in principle” and work with the groups to detail their documentation, and establish roles and responsibilities that are consistent with the City’s policies concerning volunteer works.
