Commissioner of Economic Development, Culture and Tourism:
Purpose:
The purpose of this report is to seek Council's approval to reallocate approved capital funding of $780,000 from
facility improvement initiatives at Clanton Park to required artificial ice rink maintenance at the Glen Long and Irving
W. Chapley Rinks.
Source of Funds:

(1)the approved capital funding for facility improvements at Clanton Park (98 Project No. 697 - $780,000.00) and the
multi sport pads at the Glen Long (96 Project No. 007 - $100,000.00) and Irving W. Chapley Rinks (98 Project No. 699
- $100,000.00) be utilized as follows:

Background:
The Glen Long and Irving W. Chapley artificial outdoor ice rinks in Ward 8 have recently experienced serious
mechanical difficulties. Both rinks are at the end of their life cycle being some thirty years old and now require
substantial maintenance if they are to open this coming winter. Total redevelopment costs estimated at $468,000.00 at
Glen Long and $310,000.00 at Irving W. Chapley reflect the following:
The Situation
-Glen Long A.I.R. has been operating for 35 years.
-Chapley A.I.R. has been operating for 30 years.
-The expected life cycle of these installations is 25 years.
-At Glen Long the pad and board system are in very bad shape and need complete replacements. The refrigeration
plant has had some repairs and is functioning well.
-At Chapley the pad is in good shape but the boards and refrigeration plant must be replaced.

Comments/Discussions/Justification
Due to the immediate attention that must now be paid to these two A.I.R.'s, it was necessary to re-examine and if
possible, re-prioritize approved capital budget initiatives. Discussions were held with the Ward Councillors Feldman
and Moscoe and with local residents through two public meetings. As a result of these, a recommendation came forth
to re-allocate the approved capital funding for Clanton Park ($780,000.00) and the multi sport pads at the Glen Long
and Irving W. Chapley Rinks ($200,000.00) as follows:
(i)upgrade the existing building at Clanton Park$100,000.00
(ii)redevelop the Glen Long A.I.R.$468,000.00
(iii)redevelop the Irving W. Chapley A.I.R.$310,000.00
(iv)additional amenities at the two A.I.R.'s$102,000.00
Having considered a number of options the Division supports this recommendation.
Conclusions
The Division recommends that approval be given to proceed to reallocate the existing approved Capital funds as noted
above.
