Background: Early in 2019, the Province made a one-time payment to the Town of Tillsonburg in the amount of $622,976 for use in service efficiency and capital improvements. Report FIN 19-08 - Additional Funding From Upper Orders Of Government requested to put these monies in the Asset Management Reserve however the decision at the time was to receive the report as information. Discussion: It is important for 2019 financial reporting, that the balance of these funds go into a reserve so that they do not create a surplus in 2019. The funds were intended to go to programs like service delivery and capital assets so staff is recommending that it goes into the Asset Management Reserve for use with capital purchases and studies. A summary of the use to date of the funds and potential use through the 2020 Budget is below. Page 12 of 24 FIN 20-02 Page 2 of 2 Consultation: Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing have contacted staff to confirm the types of use of these funds to include in their internal reporting. Financial Impact/Funding Source: These funds will be used to assist the Town in addressing the infrastructure deficit that it currently faces. Community Strategic Plan (CSP) Linkage: 1. Excellence in Local Government☒ Demonstrate strong leadership in Town initiatives ☒ Demonstrate accountability 2. Demographic Balance ☒ Provide opportunities for families to thrive 3. Culture and Community ☒ Promote Tillsonburg as a unique and welcoming community ☒ Provide a variety of leisure and cultural opportunities to suit all interests ☒ Improve mobility and promote environmentally sustainable living Page 13 of 24 Page 1 of 5 13573898782,,,RCP 20-01 Diamond Improvements Proposed by TMBI Subject: Diamond Enhancements Proposed for 2020 by TMBI Report Number: RCP 20-01 Author: Rick Cox, Director of Recreation, Culture & Parks Meeting Type: Council Budget Meeting Meeting Date: Monday, January 6, 2020 Recommendation: THAT Report RCP 20-01 Diamond Enhancements Proposed for 2020 by TMBI be received for information. Background: Tillsonburg Minor Baseball Inc. (TMBI) proposes to carry out some diamond upgrades at Town facilities. Some of the proposed upgrades will impact the Town’s costs or require a complementary investment by the Town. Council requested a report from staff be brought forward during the 2020 budget process. Discussion: At the November 12, 2019 Council Meeting, representatives of TMBI brought forward several diamond upgrades the organization would like to see implemented at Town- owned ball facilities. The following resolution was passed by Council: Moved by: Chris Parker Seconded by: Chris Rosehart THAT Council receive the delegation from the Tillsonburg Minor Baseball League, as information; AND THAT Council in principle authorize the Director of Recreation Culture and Parks or designate to work with the Tillsonburg Minor Baseball League to complete the Hardball #1 improvements, electrical installations on the Optimist diamonds and the dugout/scoreboard improvements on the Kiwanis diamond. Staff met with TMBI representatives on December 12, 2019 and December 19, 2019 to review various aspects of the improvements proposed for 2020. Hardball #1 Improvements to the configuration of the infield at Hardball #1 were substantially completed by TMBI and contractors in the late fall of 2019. The changes make it possible for a wider range of teams to use the diamond. There will be some additional work required in the spring to ensure that the affected turf areas are properly re - established. This work was entirely funded by TMBI. TMBI also proposes to replace Page 14 of 24 RCP 20-01 Page 2 of 5 13573898782,,,RCP 20-01 Diamond Improvements Proposed by TMBI the foul poles on Hardball #1 at their expense in 2020. There has been discussion about TMBI funding the installation of irrigation on the field in a future year. Town staff were anticipating replacing the above-ground portion of the dugouts and repairing the concrete portion in 2020. As part of this work, the water meter site would be removed and the taps reattached to an underground supply from the Arena. The estimated cost of this work is $20,000. Optimist Diamond Electrical TMBI has been working with 3E Power on a plan to supply hydro at the Optimist Diamonds so that there is no longer any need to use noisy, heavy and inconvenient generators for the pitching machines used there. The proposal is for a relatively simple installation of buried hydro conduit from a street pole near Lisgar Avenue to post- mounted outlets near the first-base fence line on Optimist #1 and the third-base fence line on Optimist #2. TMBI and 3E will pay for this portion of the work. Tillsonburg Hydro Inc (THI) specifies that the supply be metered as it is not for a streetlight/sentinel light. There is no existing service in the vicinity of this diamond, and therefore a new service will be required. While a pole-mounted service panel is the least expensive option, the more durable and flexible long-term solution would be to have the service go underground from the pole to a ground -mount pedestal just inside the perimeter fence around the ball diamonds. The cost to install this service and hydro meter, as well as the consumption and monthly costs associated with the utility account would be the Town’s responsibility. Depending on the approach, the cost for the Town’s portion of the installation is estimated at $3,000-$6,000. Utility costs are estimated at $600-$750 per year. Kiwanis Diamond TMBI proposes to install shade covers over the player benches at the Kiwanis Diamond in 2020, and to replace the score clock in a future season. This work would be done at TMBI expense. To align with best practices in risk management Town staff recommends augmenting the fencing in front of the benches to fill in the gap between the existing fence and the roofline. This additional fencing would be a Town cost. Page 15 of 24 RCP 20-01 Page 3 of 5 13573898782,,,RCP 20-01 Diamond Improvements Proposed by TMBI Adding the shade covers means that the existing bleachers will need to be relocated because of sightlines. Currently, the bleachers rest on the ground, which means that weeds grow up under them. When the bleachers are relocated, staff recommend s that concrete pads be poured for them to sit on to eliminate the weed maintenance issue. The cost to pour the pads, relocate the bleachers and make any repairs that result from them being moved would be a Town cost. This cost has not yet been determined. Consultation: RCP staff has met with TMBI representatives and consulted with Hydro Operations staff to develop the contents of this report. Financial Impact/Funding Source: The 2020 draft capital budget included Project X38 which requested $100,000 for capital maintenance work on the ball diamonds and tennis courts, and which could have funded the Town’s costs for implementing the improvements noted above. This allocation has been repurposed for the waterslide replacement, so there is currently no 2020 capital budget allocation available to deliver the Town’s portion of the proposed enhancements. While not ideal, the dugout enhancements on Hardball #1 and the bleacher relocation at Kiwanis do not have to be done in order for the TMBI upgrades to proceed. Council could consider funding these items in the 2021 capital budget , by which time more complete costing can be established. The Town’s portion of the electrical service for the Optimist Diamonds can be incorporated into the Department 2020 operational budget for sports field maintenance.
