MEMORANDUM

September 8, 1992
TO:

Parks and Recreation Committee

FROM:

Larry J. Wheeler, Recreation Manager/Deputy Director

SUBJECT: OFFICE SPACF AT HYDE CREEK

Recommendatlon:
It is recommended that the Parks and Recreation Committee approve the proposal to
lease a trailer to "house" two staff at Hyde Creek on a temporary basis.

Purpose/Problem:
The purpose of this report is to provide information and a recommendation to the Parks
and Recreation Committee regarding a proposal to lease a trailer to provide temporary
oifice space for two staff at Hyde Creek.

Background Information
Earlier this year, the Parks and Recreation Committee and City Council approved

$ 4500.00 in the capita( budget for the construction of office space at Hyde Creek.

However, with the anticipated start-up of Hyde Creek expansion for early next Spring,
staff have reviewed this initial proposal. In addition, the initia! proposal only provided
office space for one person and did not provide space for a clerical person, also being
relocated as part of the decentralization.

The proposal to lease a trailer addresses both of the aforementioned concerns. A
trailer with two offices and a washroom is estimated to cost approximately $ 310.00 per
month to lease, plus $ 400.00 for transportation and set-up on site. Service hook-ups
would be our responsibility.

Your Worship:

I am writing you on behalf of myself and our colleagues, mayors Bill Norrie
of Winnipeg,
Marcel Beaudry of Hull and Shannie Duff of St. John'. We are sorry that you were unable
to
be with us in Ottawa on July 25 to proclaim September 26, 1992 as Canada's
Rais rhe Flag
Day. We understand that it was very short notice in dte middle of rhe holiday season. but we
wanmd to make sure you were aware of deve!opments.

Mayors and meves came from municipalities representing over three uriilion Canadians and
ranging in size from Steady Brook, Newfoundland (population 500!, Sundre, Alberta and SaintBonifnce-de-Shawinigan, Quebec to larger centres like Windsor and Hamilton, Ontario,
Edmonton, Albe~ and Winnipeg, Manitoba. Togerher we laid a very solid foundation for Raise
the Flag Day and were all inspired by the depth of fee!ing these mayors broughr,
with them.

Enclosed is the "how-to" manual that expiains Raiserhe Flag Day in detail and inc!udes a
tey'strnrioa form if you wish to become a Raise rhe F!ag! commun!ty. Raise rhe Flag Day is
gottdttg by leaps and bounds. We recendy learned that Mediacom will donate 560,000 worth of
billboard space across the counuy and is encouraging other billboard companies to do the same.
One national association is sending out 6,500 flyers to all their members next week about
Raise
the Flag Day and it is on the agenda of another's annual meeting.

If you feel that you have enthusiastic people in your ccmtnunity who could organize this
event,
then we hope you will come on board. September 26 will be a very special
in

history. We hope you will be part of it.
