Date: February 9, 2016

Memo To: County Council

From: Legislative Services

Subject: Chinook’s Edge — Proposed Benalto School Closure

1.0 PURPOSE — consideration of the letter drafted to Chinook's Edge in relation to the School Division‘sreview of the potential closure of the Benalto School.

2.0 BACKGROUND I DISCUSSION — Councillor Lorenz submitted a Notice of Motion on November 3, 2015, that Red Deer County consider a recommendation to send Chinook’s Edge School Divisiona Letter of Support to keep Benalto School open for the economic viability of the Community.

At the November 24, 2015, meeting, when Council considered the Notice of Motion, action on the Notice of Motion was referred until such time as a meeting with Chinook's Edge representatives occurred.

On January 12, 2016, Red Deer County representatives met with Chinook’s Edge representatives Colleen Butler, Board Chair; Kurt Sacher, Superintendent; and Shawn

Russell, Associate Superintendent — Corporate Services.

Subsequent to the meeting, Red Deer County received the attached letter from Chinook’s Edge requesting comment from the County in relation to the proposed closure of the Benalto School.

Currently, Red Deer County has not received any applications and is not aware of any proposed developments in the Benalto community that may have an impact on the demographics in that area. However, the Ben View Villas Outline Plan that provides for the creation of approximately 90 residential lots in the Hamlet of Benalto was adopted in 2009 and remains in effect. Adoption of the Outline Plan would facilitate an application for rezoning and subdivision of the lands to create these residential properties if such an application was made by the landowner.

The County's Municipal Development Plan lists the Hamlet of Benalto as one of its Priority Growth Hamlets, and Red Deer County has spent approximately $4 million for infrastructure improvements in Benalto since 2010.

At the February 2, 2016, meeting, Council adopted a resolution directing administration to draft a letter for Council consideration at the February 16, 2016, meeting.

Memo To: County Council

From: Community Services

Subject: Funding Request— Bowden Expanding Horizons-Cultural Enhancement Society

1.0 Purpose To consider a request made by the Bowden Expanding Horizons- Cultural Enhancement Society for financial support of $300,000 towards the costs of constructing a new community hall located within the Town of Bowden.

2.0 Background In 2011, the Town of Bowden conducted a Community Needs Assessment and Facility Development Strategy. The report identified the current Bowden Lions Hallis past its effective life cycle, and is not recommended for continued maintenance and/or investment. A Community Center Feasibility Study was completed in 2014 which was a further exploration in the overall feasibility of building and operating a new community facility with indoor and outdoor space. After carefully considering the report, the Town concluded it was not feasible for the residents or businesses to absorb the tax implications of building and operating a new facility. This resulted in the Bowden Expanding Horizons Society coming forward to fundraise to construct and operate a new facility for the community. The Society has charitable status and is made up of members from several different groups as well as town and rural residents and local business owners.

It is proposed the new community hall will be approximately 6,500 square feet, and will include the following components: Banquet hall area for 350 people; Seating capacity for 500 people with capacity to divide into multiple meeting areas; Commercial kitchen; Meeting room; Stage; and Storage area.

The Bowden Cultural Enhancement Society willown and operate the facility, which willbe located at the north end of the town, with access from the Queen Elizabeth Highway 2 and Highway 587.

3.0 Discussion The budget for the project is estimated at $1,200,000 and the Town of Bowden has contributed $167,137 towards the cost of the purchase of the land. A caveat has been placed on title for five years. Ifthe facility is not constructed within that time frame the title reverts back to the town.

VV/V7V’VV

Bowden Expanding Horizons – Cultural Enhancement Society – c... Page 35 of 56 Funding for the project includes a combination of corporate sponsorship, donations, government grants and in—kind—volunteer assistance. The society has prepared a business plan and it estimates annual operating revenue at $69,000 and expenses of $59,000.

The County's Recreation Operating Agreement with the Town of Bowden estimates that 1,466 County residents are within the Bowden catchment area or 7.98% of Red Deer County residents. There are twelve rural community halls in the Bowden region and nine are within Red Deer County with three located in Mountain View County. Banquet capacity for the halls in Red Deer County ranges from 40-160. This newly constructed facility willhave one of the largest banquet capacities in the area. The other facilitywithin the region that has large banquet space available for public rentals is the lnnisfail Royal Canadian Legion. The Society has projected the facility bookings willbe 40% rural residents, 20% town residents, and 40% from Mountain View County and Red Deer or further. The society has not approached Mountain View County for funding at this time; however, they willbe pursuing all funding sources that maybe available.

Funding requests to Red Deer County for capital investment to construct new facilities are usually submitted from a municipal partner, not a registered society. if this request was to come from a municipal partner, this project would meet the ‘‘guidelines'’ as stated in the Support to Urban Municipalities Policy. Due to the nature of the request, administration suggests it funding is approved, it is contingent on two conditions: 1) funding be granted at the time of construction to the Town of Bowden who willthen administer the funds on behalf of the society; and 2) that an agreement be executed to transfer back the property to the municipality in the event the society ceases operations.

Attached to this report is a spreadsheet which outlines County contributions made to various organizations throughout the County and in Bowden.

4.0 Financial implications As of December 31, 2014 Red Deer County has community services reserves totaling $4,595,621. Any funds granted for this request will not signi?cantly impact these reserves.

5.0 Options a) Approve the request for $300,000 with funds to come from the community services reserve account and to amend the 2016 budget accordingly subject to the following conditions: - that funding be granted to the Town of Bowden at the time of construction who will then administer funds on behalf of the society, and - that an agreement be executed between the parties requiring the transfer back of the property to the municipality in the event the society ceases operations. b) Approve a different level of funding support than what was requested with Council determining the level of support, and to amend the 2016 budget accordingly subject to the following conditions: - that funding be granted to the Town of Bowden at the time of construction who will then administer funds on behalf of the society, and o that an agreement be executed between the parties requiring the transfer back of the property to the municipality in the event the society ceases operations. c) Refer the decision on the request for a financial contribution for additional information (administration willrequire direction on what additional information is required).

Bowden Expanding Horizons – Cultural Enhancement Society – c... Page 36 of 56 5.0 Recommendations That Council approve a financial investment for the Bowden Community Centre in the amount it considers appropriate for this funding request, with funding to come from the community services reserve account. and the 2016 budget is amended accordingly. Further, to this funding will be granted to the Town of Bowden at the time of construction who will then administer funds on behalf of the society; and that an agreement be executed to transfer back the property to the municipality in the event the society ceases operations.

Bowden Expanding Horizons – Cultural Enhancement Society – c... Page 42 of 56 concerts took place,where organizationscame into being, where the sports banquetswere held, where the weddingdance took place,and was the only placein town largeenough for many funerals.

Like many small communitycenters, the Bowden Lions Hall has gone into a decline, but it is still the heart of our community.An enthusiastic and dedicated group of town and rural residents have come together with the resolve of buildinga new hall.

Expanding Horizons — Bowden Cultural Enhancement Societyis made up of members from several

differentgroups as well as town and rural residents and local business o\vners. It is the umbrella societyfor the buildingand fundraisingcommittees for the new CommunityHall.

Expanding Horizons membershipis comptiseclof several generations of rural and town residents. ExpandingHonzons has 36 members, with 19 rural residents and 17 town residents,which shows

there is strong support from the community as a whole. There are members from the ages of 27 — 80, and all are committed to the longevityand sustainabilityof the project. This is critical to the viabilityof the hallin the long—term.The engagement and enthusiasm of all of the members, from the youngest to the oldest will ensure that this is a project that will bene?t the community for generations.

ExpandingHorizons Community Hall project was born out of a desire from rural and town residents to work together to build a new communityhall for Bowden. The time and ?nancial planningis shared by both rural and town members, and the hall will be enjoyedby all.

Objectives

The objective of Expanding Horizons Bowden Community Hall project is to build a new communityhall which will providethe rural and town residents of Bowden and Disttict a gathering placefor community functions. It will also providemuch needed infrastructure for Bowden.

Mission Statement

To increase and make accessible opportunitiesfor citizens of all ages to participatein a largervariety of cultural and recreational activities.

Keys to Success Who: The need for a new communityhall in Boxvdenhas been recognized for several years. The key to this project is the joint effort between rural and town residents to see that the hall is built with i.nputfrom all stakeholders so that the new hall is easilyaccessible and can he used by all age groups.

Expanding Horizons Societywas incorporatedin 2005 for the followingobjects: 1. To provide for the recreation of the members and promote and afford opportunity for Etiendlyand social activities.

To encourageand promote amateur games and exercises. 4. To providea meetingplacefor the consideration and discussionof questionsaffectingthe interests of the community. 5. To carry on a literaryor debatingclub for the topicsof generalinterest,and to encourage the practiceof publicspeakingamong its members. 6. To procure the deliveryof lectures on social,educational,polidcal,economic and other subjects, and to giveand arrange musical and dramatic entertainments. 7. To establish and maintain a libraryand readingroom. 8. To provideall necessaryequipmentand furniture for carryingon its va.riousobjects. 9. To provide a center and suitable meetingplacefor the various activities of the members.

Why: Brie?ystated, the current hall has now passedits effective service life. We believe it would be cost prohibitiveto attempt to bringthis buildingto approved code. The foundation and wall structures are challenged,the envelopeis inadequatefor energy ef?ciencies and the healing system is antiquated,the inteiior ?nishes and service areas are not ?re rated.

It is not recommended that publicmonies be invested to upgrade this buildingfor long term use. Rather than catty out temporary maintenance programs,it makes sense to apply those monies to the developmentof a new communityhall.

Currently Bowden does not have an adequatefacilitythat would accommodate weddings, conventions, etc. Promotingthis facilitywill have .1 positiveresult for the town, and the rural residents of the county. The longand short term fundraisingwould also helpengage the community.

There is a need and demand for a facilityin Bowden to provide an adequate,safe and suitable space for the community to thrive. A new community hall is absolutelynecessaryfor both town and rural residents to gather. A boardroom would provide a more suitable location for community group meetings. Other possibilities,for example,would include a permanent, full time playschooland a permanent relationshipwith FCSS.

There is a need and a demand for a facilityof this size in Red Deer County, Mountain View County and Red Deer. Many halls in the area do not have either sufficient seating capacityfor large weddings/funerals/conferences or do not have adequateparking.The Bowden CommunityHall will fill the void.

The Bowden Community Hall will ful?ll the outstanding need in the community for a space to hold: 0 Graduations Weddings Anniversaties FamilyReunions Class Reunions Funerals

Marketing Plan Ongoing sustainabilityis a priority.A SWOT analysishas revealed that our strengths and opportunitiesare the hall capacityand location and every effort will be made to capitalizeon those positives.

The capacity of the hall is a critical factor for sustainabilityand appealfor residents of Bowden as well as potentialusers from other communities. Capacityto seat 350 peopleis ideal, and will make

Bowden a destination for numerous gatherings that cannot be accommodated in the rural areas not booked in lrtnisfail,Olds or Red Deer. The current projection is that 40% of bookingswill come from the rural residents,20% from town residents and 40% will come from people from Red Deer County, Mountain View County, Red Deer or further.

Marketingand advertisingwill allow us to build a solid base of community members, and attract non communitymembers to inquire/book the hall space.Multiplemarketing channels will be used includingattractive signage,website (www.bowden—horizons.ca),social media, and print media with high qualitygraphic design and positiveword of mouth reviews.
