Claude MacKinnon members of he Senior Intermediate Council Herald Special Last week I placed before you the st the council committee on user pay and this week I place before you the statement made by youth president Klaus Zander At he end of his peroration Klaus received a two m mile ovation from the gallery which was well deserved Here It is I am here today to talk to you about the proposed increases in user fees ax Informed by the recreation department The youth club at present baa a motion before the membership suspend soccer this summer Let me assure you that this is die threat The executive and members are very serious on this matter Vie are a group of adult volunteers who organize soccer in and around Georgetown for a large number of boys and girls Many of us spend as many as hours each week and this does not take Into account the or so coaches managersandrefereestlme all donate free of charge to the dub and to the community At last year registration we had than 1 youths under the age of We provide a vital service to the community To cameo few sporting conduct teamwork and respect for each other and each other a property A recent Study has shown that a healthy child Is a better academic achiever and we help to that betterment In other words we help to make a etter citizen of which the community can bo proud I have given each member of the committee a set of documents and wish to take you through them with me Brampton has effected a proposal that minor sport groups receive FREE USE of all outdoor sports facilities this on On page a I have highlighted the policy of providing financial assistance to affiliated minor sports groups On page 3 minor sports shall receive 10 cents per player per weeks for field lining Staff assistance shall bo provided and equipment for up to four outdoor facilities for 1 tournament and cup day per season For soccer and football fields will be cut and lined prior the start of a tournament and rellned once If required On page lining equipment and material ifroqulred Wlllbuminllnesonallflelds fertilize cut spray top grade etc Will line certain fields for minor groups for weekday games only There fallows a list of fields applicable I would like to point out that the youth soccer club has accepted each year a small number of players at no charge due financial difficulties at home We have not gone to council for support because we believe that It Is our res pons to the community to provide every child with a space in minor sport without discrimination against race creed color or financial status Returning to charges for a moment and reference to the chart before you The chart is a comparison of charges from different communities for the same type of facility At this point may I use You will see that the maximum charge is ISO per facility per this would amount to per season However In return please note that a grant of per player is given In which cose we would receive leaving a net In our favor of In further comparisons you can readily sec that Ha ton Hills is by far the moat expensive place to play minor sports Our recreation director is on record as saying The tax base in my opinion should no longer subsidize the cost of those who wish to use recreation facilities and our department was requested to Institute user fees In which unused fields a used fields and are related is made a threat which I do not like If you do not pay then the fact t wdl revert back to their original stale The fields have to be serviced whether we use them or not they are public parks In Hills we see the expansion of the recreation department to an empire with more rules morereg latlons and more paperwork It is becoming n wllh a resulting in coats The proposed system of invoicing sending statements and collect on how much will it cost The proposed ng and booking requirements You should read that portion of the documentation it Is very interest I bellev shall soon need to have full time staff Last ear salaries budget for the recreation alone was and this I understand Why should the taxpayer pickup the total cost of recreation nee already overburdened with taxes and in receipt of a bargain that Is why please realize the possibility of no youth sports this summer youngsters will be let loose In the community of them In the 10 to IB vear age bracket and will be bored to death with the real prospect of increased vandalism The government of Ontario produced a report on vandalism under Senior Judge Lucia In October 1981 The report states a result of boredom is vandalism particularly where no recreational group exists Commun ity youth programs combat vandalism successfully together with the promotion of youth service clubs In your home Insurance policy In 19TB there is a charge of
