Representatives of the social services committee who are pushing for funds for the Fairview renovation recently met with members of the finance committee. They would like work on the facelift to commence in the spring of 1988 in order to be completed in the fall of the fol lowing year. The renovations now in question are the second phase of' a revitalIization project for Fai rview and would include the laundry facilities. boilers. landscaping and the parking. areas. The initial phase, already underway, involved wings A and B for residents and is expected to be completed by Februa ry 1988. 'The cost for the fi rst phase came to $2 mil]lion. According to social services commissioner Gary Cubiti. the Ministry of Community and Social Services has indicated they will c<ntribute $2 million towards the second phase of the project provided the region makes a com- mitiment prior to March :31, 19881 -the end of' the ministry's fiscal yea r. He said the Regîoî must haive final drawi ngs. tenders approve(l and a comrnitment t<) go ahead I1w the ministrv's deadline or il will îlot be eligible foi- any 1'unding. The finîance coînmillce recoin - mended the social services coin milIce urge regional c<)uncil tb pe rmit architects to proceed with the final drawings for the project while allowing the finance depar- tmnent to corne up with ways of get- ting the money for the project. But finance commissioner Jack Gartley reminded councilIlors the Region is wîthin a few years of retiring its debenture debts. H-e pointed out that a $2-million deben- ture over 10 years would likely end up costing Durham $4 million. "It would be a shame to head in that direction," said Gartley. He added the Region also had to consider the money it might need to initiate an emergency 911 system and build a new regional headquar- ters building. He said he preferred to spread the cost of renovations at Fairview over a period of years, using the $360.000 that bas already been set aside by the region for the work. Harry Rammler. project manager and a memnber of' Durhamn's works department told those assembled that the boliers at Fairview were years out of' date, there was no circulation system in the building, the kitchen was far too small anîd the laundry facîilies were inadequate.

Rammler said. -they could lasi a year or they could go tomnorî'ow."- Rammler said there was no stan- dhy power' aI Fairview. which 840 Brioek St. North, Whitby' means food storage equipment ald elevators would be non-functioflal during a power blackout. Although there are emergency lights, these are operated by battery. Councillor Ann Cowman of Newcastle, a member of the finan- ce committee, said the Region had only two choices; either to get on with the repairs to Fairview, or close the facility down. Cubitt indicated the reno vatiofis were the only real option open to the Region as to tear down the building and reconstruct a new one would cost between $12 to $13 million.
