Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund Grant<br />

In discussion of this item, it was noted that:<br />

the grant application is applicable to existing, not new, infrastructure;<br />

there are several potential options for the application, including improving the<br />

terminal building (built adjacent to the existing building), upgrading the fencing,<br />

paving the internal road and the road leading up to gate, paving the parking area;<br />

the cost estimates prepared by Pryde Schropp McComb in 2008 could be used;<br />

an upgrade that would need to be redone or removed due to later improvements<br />

should be avoided;<br />

a project with visual impact would be favourable;<br />

there could be multiple proposals instead of a single proposal;<br />

the current terminal building at the Sechelt Airport is owned by the Elphinstone<br />

Aero Club though their lease has expired;<br />

the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund grant application for an<br />

improved terminal building adjacent to the existing building should be finalized;<br />

assurance is required from Council that the matching 50% funding would be<br />

covered by the District of Sechelt;<br />

the improved terminal building proposal be communicated to the president of the<br />

Elphinstone Aero Club.<br />
