condition of the facility proposed uses and likely costs involved for the Association This study was carried out while was preparing a proposal to acquire the town hill for the community but when the complete backing of he Restoration Committee and wasn t secured Leathertown dropped Its plan The study is be ing paid for by While the consultant says the doesn have to be torn down before it falls down they do ex press reservations about restoration They suggest based on their brief look that fur Council decide town hall fate by December 19 Ho I ton Hills council will decide what to do about the Acton town hall by December Restoration of the town hall has been pending for several years now but Councillors Terry Grubbe and Harry Levy told 11 interested citizens at a public meeting last Wednesday night that council will make a final decision on the fate of the building within days after receiving the final report from the Kleinfeldt Group which is looking at the soundness and feasibility of using the town hall as a community centre There were as many councillors municipal staff and members of he consultants study team on hand for the first of two public meetings as there were interested citizens present The second public meeting will be held November chairman Ted Tyler noted there are three options the town can follow which will result In restoration One is to use municipal and community funds along provincial grants to fix up the as a community centre The other two pro posals involve selling the building to Association or leasing it to the Restoration Commit tee and Aclario He said ho didn feel the town hall fateshould be left hanging much longer Levy reported a final decision must be made by December 19 and Grubbe noted council must follow one of two forks in the rood on the town hall issue before the end of the year One fork Is to rent or sell the building to a community group and the other Is try and secure government grants to restore it The deadline for the town finalizing an application for Wintano grant is the end of this year She added the consultants are aware of the Leathertown and Restoration CommilteeActnrlo proposals Continued on page study and input is required to evaluate the need and uses for trying to sae the building such as the Kleinfeldt Group is is doing now for Hnlton Hills It would be our impression at this time that the expense is not justified based on potential costs in operating costs and the architecture I oca and presentation of the town hall The consul also said they have to sec evidence that com munlty floor space is needed where the town hall is located But in any case retention of this facility even with revenue producing use will be more than construction of a new facility Renovating the exterior renovating the Interior for professional offices and renovating the second floor for community use will reqUre a budget of to wilh per year operating budget plus considerations for rezoning andor parking Referring to an old study by Alan Zcegan report says unknown costs could be 000 to or higher Pow suggested the firm doing the town hall study be allowed to be involved as consultant for potential construction or renovation work to en sure a completely unbiased report on the ad visabitlty of renovating or tearing down the Hire The architecture and location of the own hall is not one of the more attractive older buildings which we are observing being restored for these reasons The removol of the rear portion of the town hall and the abutting fire hall together with the side street location of lhi3 hail are negative aspects for in Lining considerable costs to and re store Certainly if the town hall was at a main inter section of the downtown area or at the centre of a Intersection of one of the busier streets and if Ihc hall was of a architecture and plac on a larger lot which would lend itself to attract landscaping then restoration might be in dicatid In this particular case restoration of the building is going to be almost hidden requiring Trio fined 1000 for cop Three Acton youths were fined a total of 1 in Milton Provincial Court Thursday after being
