Title
Town of Drayton Valley - 2015 Capital Cost Share Request
Proposed Motion(s)
That Council approve up to $7,866 from the Recreation Facilities Restricted Surplus for the Town of Drayton Valley's 2015 Capital Cost Share Request
Body
Administration Recommendation(s)
Administration feels that these items are important in the long term effective and efficient upkeep and maintenance of the facilities.
Purpose
Under the current recreation cost share agreement with the Town of Drayton Valley Council may, at its discretion, cost share on capital items at the Omnilex and/or Park Valley Pool.
Summary
The Town of Drayton Valley submitted a capital cost share request on two projects they have scheduled for 2015. Based on recent usage rates by Parkland County residents, they are requesting that 5.61% of the Omniplex project and 1.95% of the Park Valley Pool project be covered by Parkland County. The projects include:
Ice Resurfacing Machine Replacement:
The current ice resurfacer has past the operation hours generally accpeted as industry standards. Furthermore, recent annual repairs and maintenance costs have been increasing steadily. Replacing the machine will reduce annual maintenace costs and will reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns resulting in potential lost operational time.
Total Cost: $108,931
County Share (5.61%): $6,111
Pool Lighting:
As part of a recent Aquatic Facility Evaluation, the existing lighting over the pool area was identified as an issue and needs to be updated to meet current code requirements. The lighting will improve visibility of the pool area resulting in safer swimming environment from both the user and staff perspective. It is anticipated this project would occur in between summer and winter swim club seasons to minimize the significant rental revenue received from these two user groups.
Total Cost: $90,000
County Share (1.95%): $1,755
