VHospital expansions and spin-off efiects can generâ€" ate 30,000 new jobs, York Central Hospital CEO Bruce Harber said in his presentation. York Central coinpletes the first phase of its expan- sion later this year but needs to move on to the next phase to its vision, he . n Regional CAO Bruce MacGregor said local fund- ing has always been a crucial component of hospital building and York Region has always provided some measure, dating back to the 19705. The provincial government funds 90 per cent of brick and mortar construction but when equipment and other details are factored in, the final figure is about 65 per cent. That leaves a gap for the local community, from municipal governments and fundraisers, and approv- als are withheld until hospitals show they have local support. .Under their proposal, the hospitals would pick up one-third of that gap, while York Region provides the Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti has staunchly advocated for minimizing tax increases but also con- ceded that the region had little choice but to fund the hospital’s needs. “We are facing an emergency," he said, comparing the region to an emergency room patient ‘Emergency’ for York’s hospitals Vaughan’s regional councillors strongly supported the proposal, worried about delays to their long- awaited project. One after another, councillors railed against the province’s exclusion of hospital funding from develop- ment charges. Mr. Scarpitti proposed a subcommittee targeted at lobbying the province for changes but regional chair- person Bill Fisch cautioned that boat has sailed, at least in the short term. The province excluded hospitals from such funding in 1997 and if changes are to come in the future, strong support from the hospital CEOs will be a crucial factor, he said. If the charges were in place, the region would be receiving nearly $7 million a year, Mr. MacGregor There was no question the region should help with funding, the only questions were how much and how it should be phased, Mr. Fisch said. It could he a few years before any of the hospitals undertake major work and that could coincide with a financial bump from uploaded provincial programs. Mr. Fisch hoped a éoncrete broposal would come before the finance committee in February and pass with the budget soon after. 2003 TOWN a. counm‘ Stoutfigille Sunâ€"Tribune I Saturdg From put. 1. 2008 JEEP PATRIOT NORTH EDTTTON glan. 31, 2009
