Title
Yellowhead County - 2012 Capital Cost Share Request ( Evansburg Arena)
Recommendation
That Council approve funding of $18,915.20 from Restricted Surplus for Yellowhead County - 2012 Capital Cost Share Request - Recreation Facilities for gutter replacement at the Evansburg Arena.
Body
Purpose
Under the terms of our cost share agreement with Yellowhead County Parkland County may, at their discretion, provide funding support for capital repairs made to the Evansburg Arena.
Summary
Yellowhead County recently upgraded the area in front of the main entrance by installing a concrete pad, where it was previously gravel. The new pad provides a more suitable congregational area for the public, as well as a loading and unloading zone. This coupled with some area road improvements and additional parking has resulted in less traffic congestion in front of the arena; providing a safer environment for the public. The existing gutter system could not adequately handle the roof drainage and was causing damage to the new concrete work, as well as potential for damage to building as well. As a result Yellowhead County replaced the gutter system on the arena so it can properly handle the drainage load.
As per our cost share agreement with Yellowhead County we may cost share up to 50% of the costs associated with capital repair. Cost share amount is based on the percentage of Parkland residents that benefit from having access to this facility.
Administrative Position
Administration believes the repairs carried out were necessary to the effective operation of the facility and supports cost sharing on the project.
