1. Sound System - Port Pecreacion Centre:

received outlining Phase #1 and the cost thereof, After much discussion it vas decided that although che
sound system as it exists is not ideal, it is tempaardly satisfactory. Priorities should be considered and
at the present time the storage area is inadequate, the dressing zooms are too ‘mal and an expenditure of
this size for a sound system is not desired at this time. It was pointed out that perhaps the sound systen
could be included as a specific item in next years Capital Rudget,
Recor.nendation:
That the Committee agree with the report of Barron & Strachan but wish to defer action on the

sound system until final plans for Phase II ere completed.

3. Centennial Tool Enclosure: (For Information)

. Discussion at zength regarding the covering of Centennial Pool, and it was generally agreed that
this project is the first of its kind in North America and should, therefore, be studied to make sure all
aspects ae the structure are sound and that the ventilation produces the correct atmosphere within the stru-
etre, Since this is « first, it is very difficult to be really sure and it was suggested that Mr. Davies be
appresched with a view to the promotion angle with Alcon Aluminum Company of Canada to have e delegation fiy

to England (the Nearest model of its kind) te chserve 8 structure of ita kind in operation. Although the cost
of covering the pool is rominal compared to building a new structure i¢ 18 considered economically unwise to
purchase something no one knows anything about and it would be beneficial to Alcan as a promotional effort
since many other local municipalities could be interested in the same kind of structure. Mr. Griffith was
asked to contact Mr. R. Davies and in turn Alcan Aluminum Company to see if a trip to England could be arranged
in order that this type of structure could te studied first hand.
