Michael Goodridge, Softball Canada and Allan Harrison, President, Ontario Amateur Softball Association appeared as a delegation regarding clause 2 of the Finance and Administration Committee report of this date dealing with use of the former Registry Building at 122 Frederick Street. Councillor M. Yantzi disclosed a conflict of interest and abstained from all discussion concerning the proposal for use of 122 Frederick Street as a Hall of Fame as he is employed by Community Justice Initiatives which has been involved in discussions with the K-W Multicultural Centre relative to the shared use of office at 122 Frederick Street. Councillor Yantzi left the meeting at this time. JUNE 13, 1994 COUNCIL MINUTES - ~84- CITY OF KITCHENER Mr. Goodridge presented a submission on behalf of Mr. Dale McMann, President of Softball Canada, a copy of which was distributed to Council. Softball Canada fully supports establishment of a Hall of Fame museum for softball at 122 Frederick Street pending further negotiations and also agrees to shared facilities in the building with Curl Canada. The balance of the presentation dealt with merits of the Kitchener location and operational successes of Softball Canada. Finally, it was stated that if agreements are reached on locating the Softball Canada Hall of Fame in Kitchener, Softball Canada would consider: To attempt to host at least one major softball event every five years. Make every effort to induct new members at a special reception hosted in the City of Kitchener. To organize an annual Hall of Fame Softball Tournament. Councillor T. Galloway questioned the definition of major event and Mr. Goodridge advised that this would be a national championship or better. He also advised that hosting every five years was relatively certain given that over the last ten years there have been four events in the Twin Cities plus more in the nearby municipalities. Councillor Galloway questioned how Softball Canada could influence decisions for location of national events. Mr. Goodridge pointed out there was a bidding system for location selection covering eight annual championships and that it was Softball Canada's intent to encourage a central location as much as possible within Canada. Additional questions were advanced on various matters by Members of Council and responded to by Mr. Goodridge as follows: National tournaments involve 16 teams over an 8-day event. The Softball Hall of Fame would attract an estimated 15,000 visitors annually. Decision for selection of tournament location is made 2 years in advance. Consultation with membership of Softball Canada was required before any commitments could be given but they were prepared to negotiate. Mr. Allan Harrison, President, Ontario Amateur Softball Association, appeared as a delegation to request Council's support for location of a Softball Hall of Fame and Museum in the Registry Building at 122 Frederick Street. He noted that all of the parties involved feel space is sufficient and given Kitchener's involvement and successes in softball championships, locating in Kitchener was appropriate. Councillor T. Galloway questioned if the City was willing to agree to the proposal and co-operate in terms of the rental issue, then would the Provincial Association consider a surcharge on its membership to support the building's operation. Mr. Harrison stated that he would consider such a levy to be a very real possibility. Mr. Laverne Reichert, President of the Waterloo Ontario Fastball Association Inc., appeared as a delegation to advise of the organization's support for the proposed Softball Hall of Fame. In his submission, he suggested the proposed site would reflect the area's commitment to softball and its long history of providing competitive teams and hosting major tournaments. Mr. Reichert advised that his group was making a bid for the 1996 Canadian Championships. In addition to the correspondence received from Messrs. McMann, Harrison and Reichert, Council was also in receipt of support letters from Softball Ontario, the Provincial Women's Softball Association of Ontario and the Ontario Rural Softball Association. Mr. Harry J. Class appeared as a delegation to promote a Swimming Hall of Fame located in Kitchener. He advised that in 1993, the directors of the Swim Ontario Hall of Fame agreed to transfer their facilities from Toronto to Kitchener. Mr. Class noted that on January 29, 1994 an enquiry letter was sent to the former Commissioner of the Parks & Recreation Department asking for assistance to find a suitable Hall of Fame site. After contact was made with the Kitchener Sports Association, he subsequently received a note from Mayor D.V. Cardillo suggesting 122 Frederick Street be investigated. In response to Councillor B. Stortz, Mr. Class advised that the organization needed approximately 2,000 square feet and would plan on holding numerous meetings in Kitchener in addition to the annual meeting. JUNE 13, 1994 COUNCIL MINUTES - 285- CITY OF KITCHENER Members of Council entered into a lengthy discussion based on a motion proposed by Councillor M. Wagner. Numerous issues relating to the proposed Hall of Fame use for 122 Frederick Street were raised including: taxation, capital costs, capital costs resulting from change in building use, parking requirements and local economic benefits. Councillor T. Galloway pointed out that members of the K-W Multicultural Centre were in attendance at the meeting to observe the proceedings and he stated that it was his understanding there will be some attempt to accommodate the needs of the Multicultural Centre which is no longer pursuing 122 Frederick Street as a future location. Councillor B. Stortz advised that he had been in discussion with the Multicultural Centre and noted that if they were to locate in a site as now proposed, then the City could undertake to provide space in City Hall to accommodate their large Board meetings. Councillor Galloway stated that he would support waiving of rental fees for the larger meetings of the Board that would be held in City Hall. At this point, the City Clerk reviewed the contents of the motion as developed during the preceding discussion. Moved by Councillor J. Ziegler Seconded by Councillor M. Wagner That clause 2 of the report of the Finance and Administration Committee of this date be deleted and replaced with the following resolution: "That we approve in principle the rent free use of the former Registry Building, 122 Frederick Street, as a Sports Hall of Fame facility and the pursuit of further negotiations with Curling Canada, Softball Canada and Swim Ontario.

His point was that the owner built cost was less than the estimated contractor built cost and the permit fee should not penalize the owner relative to his sweat equity labour cost savings. Councillor Ziegler pointed out that the City Solicitor has advised that Council has the discretion to differentiate between owner-built and contractor- built structures. He suggested a policy be developed to provide a benefit in this regard to owners who were doing improvements themselves and that the Finance and Administration Committee consider a report in this regard. Mr. J. Wallace advised that procedure was established by by-law and that Council could consider a criteria relative to special circumstances and if desired, initiate an amendment to the by-law. Moved by Councillor J. Ziegler Seconded by Councillor J.
