ONTARIO MILLENIUM PARTNERSHIP INITIATIVE
CONTRACTS FOR DOWNTOWN COMMUNITY RESOURCE
CENTRE PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION:
That The Regional Municipality of Waterloo be requested to execute the Ontario
Millennium Partnerships Initiative Funding Agreement with the Province of Ontario by its
Minister of Health Promotion for the Downtown Community Resource Centre Project
(the "Funding Agreement");
And that the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to sign the Agreement between The
Regional Municipality of Waterloo and The Corporation of the City of Kitchener in a form
as satisfactory to the City Solicitor pursuant to which the City will indemnify and be
responsible for all obligations of The Regional Municipality of Waterloo under the
Funding Agreement;
And further that the City of Kitchener's Chief Administrative Officer be authorized to sign
and submit to the Regional Municipality of Waterloo any and all payment requests,
reports, certificates and other documentation required to facilitate requests for
disbursements pursuant to the Funding Agreement.
REPORT:
Council approved the Downtown Community Resource Centre project as a submission for
a portion of the allocation to the City of Kitchener from the Millenium Partnerships Initiative
on August 11 , 2003. The request for funding of this project was approved by the Province
of Ontario for provincial funding of $867,000.00.
The funding agreement for this project is between the Province (through its Ministry of
Health Promotion) and the Regional Municipality of Waterloo. It sets out all of the detailed
terms and conditions of the provincial funding along with the process for filing payment
requests and final reports. Given that the funding is for a local City project the Regional
Municipality of Waterloo requires an agreement with the City of Kitchener that the City will
be responsible to satisfy all obligations and indemnify the Region under the agreement
with the Province for this City project.
