14 Morrisburg Waterfront Committee - Minutes for December 16, 2015 Minutes of Waterfront Committee Meeting Dec 16th, 2015 Present: Brian Veinotte, Marc St Pierre, Keith Robinson, Mike Thompson, Jean-Louis Tanguay, Evonne Delegarde Absent: Carmelo Scaini Order of business: 1. Minutes of November 25 th meeting modified as per Jean-Louis request and approved. Submitted to Brenda Brunt for posting on South Dundas website. 2. Brian welcomed our newest member, Andy Lee. 3. During the review of our committee responsibilities Jean-Louis asked if something could be done about a by-law from the village of Morrisburg (by-law 1776) regarding motorized equipment on the parkland. It was stressed that this is not the responsibility of our committee; it should be brought to the attention of township council or staff. Evonne indicated she would pursue this further on Jean-Louis behalf. 4. There was a discussion regarding the benefits of relocation of the ball diamond. Jean- Louis tabled documents from the Ministry of Culture and Recreation regarding standards for the building new ball diamonds. He emphasized that proper guidelines had to be followed. Evonne stated that township staff were aware of guidelines and would follow these guidelines. As an alternative to immediately constructing a new lighted ball diamond as per Phase I Concept Plan, the existing ball diamond near the Sir J. Morris Walk could be utilized with minor upgrades. A round-table discussion followed and various recommendations were proposed. Andy questioned the need for a new ball diamond since the Williamsburg Park appeared to be the hub for baseball, Riverside Heights had a ball park, and Iroquois had just recently removed their ball diamond. Cost estimates for the relocation and building of the new ball diamond were reviewed and it was felt that an engineering cost study should be done. Ultimately it was decided that before proceeding with this engineering cost study, Andy and Ben Macpherson should get statistics on usage of the existing Morrisburg ball parks. 5. Brian gave an update of the pathway lighting. Shannon Geraghty informed Brian that the lights are back-ordered and expected delivery is February 2016 however the Page 14 of 28

15 Morrisburg Waterfront Committee - Minutes for December 16, 2015 concrete bases would be going in soon and would be ready for the lights to be mounted when they arrived. Brian also indicated that we have $48,000 approved for engineering costs and a request for 2016 budget approval of another $48,000 was being submitted. Brian tabled information on the use of brick engraving as a means of fund raising. All agreed that this was an excellent idea and would be pursued in the near future. 6. Brian and Marc will be working on the submission to council to match dollar for dollar the $25,000 contribution from the Morrisburg Lions Club. 7. Jean-Louis reported that Wendy Graham was willing to give an overview of the Waterfront project at some point in the future. Since we are focused on year end submissions it was decided to defer this to a later date. 8. Members also requested that information about the Committee and our Concept Plan should be easier to find on the South Dundas website. Mayor Delegarde promised to look after that request. 9. It was decided that all future meeting would be held on the third Wednesday of each month at 7:00 pm 10. Meeting was adjourned at 8:35 Next Meeting January 20 th, 2016 in Council Chambers 7:00 pm Page 15 of 28
