The $76, 100 contract te buiid the extension, which will b. fully urbsuized with streetlights, con- cret. curb and gutter, was awar- ded te Dagmar Construction of Markham. Including a $12,500 con- tgency aiowance, *P500Mi designsd administration fées sud $2000 for Usunrt con- struction, which includes the Town's 930,000 share te instal the Crawforth sud Anderson traffle signais, the project is pro- jected te cost a tetlfof $134,200. Durham Region will contribute $30,000 sud the. Durham public schooi board is contributing $20,000. The Town had only budgeted $100,000 for the proj ect sinoe it hadn't counted on helping te pay for the lights. The over-expendi- ture will corne from the. same source as the initial $100 000 - the contribution from subc&ivder Joviel Developments' contribu- tion for the extension. TIhe decision by the. board to help pay for the trafflc lights establishes a preoedent, says east ward councillor Denmis Fox. Hargues the separate board should al have chipped in sinoe it will benefit from the signais sud extension. «These people don't wsut te contribute toward traific lights bu they're. willing te, take the bnet1of publicVy funded ioe time. «Maybe we could use that as some leverage at some point down the road.» Fox was referring te sun agree- ment between the. Town and the school boards regfarding ice time at Iroquois Park sud Vipond Arena iBrooklin. Both boards have reoived free ice time during the day (9 a.m. te 4 p.m.) in return for accommo- dating the Town community-use- of-schools prograin for only a nominal permit fe.. That agement was put inte jeopardy by board budget cuts that would have seen school ren- tal coets increase te pay for custodial time and energy coots. Staff negotiated a compromise in which sehools will be charged $29.32 su hour, plus GST (tIi. public rate is $9117.28 an hour), beginning Sept. 1. The rate ini- creases t $3q224 su hour (the public rate rises te $128.97), effective Sept. 1, 1997. EacIi school will be given one three-Iiour session per year at no charge, however, to, «maintain the ntegty of the reciproal use agreemexqt, notes .parka fLnd recreation directer LArry Mor- rOW. In return, the board will shlow the Town te continue using com- munity school without Iiaving te pay custodial overtime on week- ends - with a condition.
