Marilyn McHolm, Board Chairman, has explained that since the arena opened 5 yrs. ago, original capital expense funds were used for equipment purchases purchases but they negleçted to foresee major repairs to that equipment. Thus when a 30 horse power compressor needed over-hauling the VMMC Board had no funds to cover it. The VMMC Board for the first time has presented a budget to the council. The budget was in response to Hamilton's Council policy statement for it's Bewdley and Baltimore arenas. This council had proposed a budget that would balance and provide reserves for future equipment repairs. McHolm made it clear in a preamble that a reserve account, account, Vincent Massey Memorial Trust account, would be created out of $2,000. budget reserve and $3,000. from fund raising events to cover future maintenance and repairs. The prepared budget estimates a surplus of 899.43 based on total revenue of 97,099.43 and total expenditures expenditures of 96,200.00. < However, the Board has asked the townships to cover the expense. $12,000. of overhauling overhauling the compressor and other alterations it has made so it can start with a clean sheet next year. ■The townships share expenses expenses on a two to one basis, thus Hamilton will pay $8,000. and Hope will pay $4,000. towards the debt, , THE NORTHUMBERLAND AND NEWCASTLE BOARD OF EDUCATION AUDITORS' REPORT To the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education.
