Committee chairman John Goss presented the proposed 1981-82 budget "to council Monday afternoon which calls for a total expenditure of $42,575, including a $7,000 direct grant from the Town- ship. Mr. Goss told council the committee felt it should give the' community groups a break on the ice rental rates and not increase from the current $25. These include the newly formed Minor Hockey association, skating club and the curling club. The general rental rate to the public will increase to $32.50 per hour from the current $30 per hour. Last year, the arena operation ran a deficit of about $6000, but Mr. Goss said there could be increased revenues if roller skating gets off the ground this summer, The proposed budget for maintenance and supplies is up about $4000 this year to $9500, and Mr. Goss told council that the main reason is a new part for the com- pressor which could cost in the $3000 range. There are also increases in wages, hydro and fuel oil this year over last. The Committee has also proposed replacing the north wall of the building with a concrete block wall, at an estimated cost of $8,000. Mr. Goss asked council for a grant of $2500 for this work, and said the rest of the money would come from a Wintario grant for half the total, and community contributions. Council agreed to make an immediate application to Wintario for the grant, but administrator Earl Cuddie said even if Wintario approves the project, it will be 1982 before the actual funds are allocated. The budget request and grant for the work on the wall were tabled by council until the full municipal budget is set later this spring.
