MEMORANDUM

TO: Leisure Activities Committee _ October 27th, 1976

FROM: V.G. Borch, P. Eng.

Re: Proposed Mary Hill Park at.
Western Drive & Eastern Drive

This memorandum will confirm the discussions which
took place at the meeting of the Leisure Activities Committee
Tuesday, October 26th, 1976. As you are aware, the Committee

‘placed an amount of $45,000.00 in the 1976 Provisional Budget
for the development of this park. The proposed development
included double tennis courts, parking lot, playground area,
and complete landscaping. The submission did not survive the
ruthless cuts that took place during the finalization of the
1976 Budget. .

It has been suggested that because of Ccuncil's recent
change in policy governing the acquisition of parks land and
the development of parks and parks facilities, it would be
opportune to re-submit this proposed park development for
Council approval. The funds, in accordance with Council's
recently adopted policy, could come from the new Parks Devel~
opment Fund which receives contributions from each new
residential dwelling unit. I would estimate that an amount
of $50,000.00 will be needed to proceed with this work this
winter and that if we commenced the work this winter the tennis
court construction and the landscaping could take place in the
spring of 1977.

It is my understanding that this request will be for-

“warded to Council for approval.
