RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

 

Que le Comité des services communautaires et de protection recommande au Conseil de recevoir la liste de projets financés en 2009 dans le cadre du Programme de partenariat communautaire pour les projets d’immobilisation secondaires comme le précise le Document 1.

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

The Community Partnership Minor Capital Program is an initative to implement minor 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 are allocated annually as per the program's guidelines, the Department is to report back annually to Committee and Council regarding the disposition of funds and projects.

 

The program was established in 2001 to enable minor capital improvements to parks and recreation facilities.  As neighbourhoods change both socially and demographically, this program provides an effective means of responding quickly to the needs of communities.  Community participation in fundraising, planning and installation of recreational facilities promotes community pride, ownership and stewardship of parks and recreation facilities.

Projects are funded on a cost-sharing basis between the City and community groups such as community associations, sports organizations and parent-teacher associations.

 

To promote the Community Partnership Minor Capital Program, information is included on the City web site.  Staff continue to promote the program at public meetings.

 

 

DISCUSSION

 

The deadlines for application submissions were May 1st, 2009 and September 1st, 2009.  Projects were evaluated using the Council approved guidelines and principles of the program. 

 

The 2009 approved budget envelope for the Community Partnership Minor Capital Program was $200,000.  The branch received 39 applications of which 29 met the program criteria and were approved in principle.  Sixteen (16) projects have been completed, 12 have been approved in principle and 1 is on hold pending further evaluation.  See Document 1. 

 

Eligible projects that met the program criteria were "approved in principle".  Staff continue to work with the individual groups to ensure projects are completed in compliance with City standards and guidelines.  Given the nature and difficulty of fundraising by community groups, some of the projects "approved in principle" may not be completed within a 1-year term based on the abilities of the community group to meet their share of funding commitments. 

 

Any unallocated funds are combined with the following year's budget allocations.
