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 />
