REPORT

TO: Fred Peters, Acting City Administrator
FROM: K. Janna Taylor, Parks & Recreation Director

SUBJECT: Wilson Centre Study

RECOMMENDATION :

1. That a consultant be hired to do a feasibility study of
the Wilson Centre. The criteria for the study would be:

a) Identify and draw up plans for the additional facili-
ties required;

_b) Identify the construction costs of these facilities.
2. That the cost of the study not exceed $10,000.

3. That the money for the study be taken from the Parks Reserve
fund.

BACKGROUND & COMMENTS:

The Parks & Recreation Committee have met, on occasions, with
the Wilson Centre Advisory Board in regard to expansion of the
Wilson Centre. The Wilson Centre staff and the Wilson Centre
Advisory Board agree that there is a definite need to expand
the facilities. However, in order to determine the cost and
the kind of expansion required, it will be necessary for the
department to hire a consultant to identify the kinds of
facilities required and the cost attached to these facilities.
Attached are reports from both staff and the Advisory Board as
to the problems that presently exist at the Centre. Represen=
tatives from the Wilson Centre Advisory Board will be in
attendance should Council members have any questions.
