1. FCS-15-085 – CANADA 150 COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM (CIP 150)
CONTRIBUTION APPLICATION
Council considered Finance and Corporate Services Department report FCS-15-085, dated May 22,
2015, regarding the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program (CIP 150), which is intended to
provide funding in support of rehabilitation, renovation and expansion of public infrastructure in
th
celebration of Canada’s 150 anniversary. Ms. D. Fagerdahl, Manager of Financial Planning,
reviewed the report advising the following projects are being recommended for inclusion as part of the
City’s CIP 150 application:
1. City Hall Outdoor Space Rehabilitation;
2. Kiwanis Park Pool Rehabilitation; and,
3. Wi-Fi and Public Internet Access Expansion.
In response to questions, Ms. Fagerdahl advised an organization is able to submit as many projects
as they wish, but must prioritize projects through resolution. She indicated that originally 11 projects
were proposed. She added those projects were evaluated at a high level against the CIP 150 criteria,
which resulted in the three projects being put forward for consideration. She noted it is also being
recommended that authorization be delegated to approve a submission by The Centre in Square.
Mr. D. Chapman, Deputy CAO – Finance and Corporate Services,responded further confirming that
neither projects 1 nor 3 are currently included in the Capital Forecast. He agreed to circulate to
Council the list of the 11 projects that were originally considered. He noted historically funding has
not always been granted to the City’s first priority and cautioned against submitting a large list of
projects.
A motion was brought forward by Councillor K. Galloway-Sealock, seconded by Councillor S. Davey,
to approve projects 1 to 3 in principle with sequencing for prioritization to be determined at the June
1, 2015 Council meeting and to add two projects for consideration as Items 4a and 4b, being: Huron
Natural Area Kettle Trail upgrades; and, Huron Natural Area and McLennan Park works bundle.
Several members expressed a desire for additional time to review further details and the possible
implications of the proposed projects. It was suggested that consideration of Items 4a and 4b should
be deferred until the June 1, 2015 Council meeting.
