park The costs of repairing the Glen Williams bail park will have to be either Mid for by the town or Ihe residents of Glen A pro grant according to Doug Colllson recreation director of Hills Is very unlikely Mr Colllson was replying to an Inquiry by Harry Henderson town treasurer as to the possibility of the town receiving either a partial complete grant from the province for cleaning up the damage caused by the February flood of Credit River That flood resulted in considerable damage both to the property and to facilities The extent of the damage has still not been determined due to the large chunks of Ice still covering entire sections of the park Mr noted that any grant from the provincial government under the Com Centre program would have to meet three necessary stipulations The first was that the town would apply for the money Councillors had previously expressed their willingness to do so The province however specified that the field on which the money would be spent must be either owned by the town or had been leased by the municipality for a minimum of years The Glen park la owned by a private individual and leased not the the town but to theGlenWilllamsAssociation thus making it ineligible for a provincial cleanup grant The province also specified that the money would be made available for only capital construction additions or renovations but not for repairs or maintenance Mr Collison concluded because the Glen Williams Association has the lease the damage to the Glen park and produce an overall estimate of the repair costs Jim Snow recently told the Herald hat be thought grant might be made available by the province for repairs to the Glen Williams park but noted that the town would have to first officially apply far assistance He did not state under which program the grants might be made available rather than the town and because the costs relate to repairs rather than new con structlon the cost of the work Involved would not be eligible for a Community Centre Grant Without commenting upon what steps council might now take the town s personnel and finance committee Monday night asked the town engineer to continue his appraisal of But
