Firstly, it is apparent that the old arena in Bowmanville will have to be replaced. Write-ups in the media and enquiries about the cost of the new arena have produced few hard facts regarding the facility to be built. It seems that before any commitment to the building is finalized, consideration must be given to the means of financing. It has been mentioned that Wintario will provide $650,000., this amount being the top figure which can be expected regardless regardless of the cost of the building. It is understood that the town has purchased land for $225,000 and figures of up to one million have been mentioned mentioned to cover the cost of services to the site. Secondly, it "has been suggested that fund raising of $750,000. would be the local contribution. This would be a reasonable amount for a building costing no more than $2,500,000. However, If the cost should go to $5,000,000. an appropriate amount of fund raising would be $1,500,000. and if this amount cannot be raised then the smaller facility must be built. This figure is based on the amount of funds raised by the- Orono Committee when the local arena and community centre was built. Further, at the present time, the taxpayers of the town Were required to subsidize maintenance costs and debenture payments in connection with the Bowmanville, Darlington arenas and the Fitness Centre in the amount of approximately $250,000. for 1985. The budget figures for 1986 indicate an increase in costs to in excess of $325,000. In this connection, the Orono arena and community centre is self-supporting. Finally, while it is agreed that a new arena is needed in Bowmanville, it seems that the Town Council should look carefully at the cost involved with regard to the town's taxpayers. It is to be hoped that the residents of the Town of Newcastle will not be further burdened with costs relative to any unnecessary spending in replacing the arena in Bowmanville.
