MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE SOUTH WESTSIDE BOUCHERIE ROAD AREA

Governance and Services Committee Meeting – June 13, 2003 (Pg.3)
b) Infrastructure Grant for Gellatly Nut Farm Director Knowles submitted a report to the Committee on a meeting which
occurred with Minister Thorpe’s riding assistant, Mike Reid, regarding infrastructure funds available from the Province. Minister Thorpe indicated there is $200,000 grant opportunity available. The Parks Advisory Committee is reviewing options for submitting a grant application for the Gellatly Nut Farm.
The committee discussed:
- Parks Advisory Committee (PAC) should be reviewing the proposal first –
business plan/budget not developed. Director Shepherd confirmed that PAC would be reviewing.
- Mount Boucherie is currently the number one priority for ‘other’ grants, would Gellatly Nut Farm change priorities?
- Window of opportunity offered by Minister Thorpe for a $200,000 total project
- Need to layout project components – phased, value of project, stages of development
- Entire project is approximately $600,000 for basic infrastructure - let Province know there will be more stages to apply for future funding.
ACTION: Staff were asked to clarify if the Mission Greenway infrastructure grant application has been submitted.
SHEPHERD/HARRIMAN
THAT the June 13, 2003 memo from Director Knowles regarding the Gellatly Nut Farm and the Federal/Provincial Infrastructure grant be received;
AND FURTHER THAT staff bring a report for the Gellatly Nut Farm proposal to the Parks Advisory Committee for further evaluation.
