Surcharge to
pe levied on
court users

From page 1

Covering an extra two
courts, site preparation and
inflation will push the pro-
jected cost of the new facility
to $2 million.

Council has agreed thar
the Heritage Fund will pro-
vide a $500,000 loan to be
repaid over 10 years.

NSITCA vice-president
Frank Gartner told council ar
the beginning of March that
a four-court facility is inade-
quate.

He said that without
advertising, his club was
averaging a court occupancy
rate of 75% and was unable
to offer coaching, junior or
senior programs.

Nevertheless, after 4%
months of operation, average
monthly income had topped
$18,000.

Chalienged to come up
with a financial forecast for
court revenue, recreation
commission staff have told
council. thar a six-court
covered facility could be
expected to net $86,000 a
vear.

Approximately $66,000
of that could be carmarked
each year for Heritage Fund
repayment.

Plans are in place to levy a
surcharge on every player
using the facility to truly
make it a “pay as you play”

+ concept.

The likely cost of a 90-
minute court rental would be
$12. The charge compares
favorably to the market cate
of approximately $200 an
hour.

Asked about the p,.uposed
surcharge, NSITCA presi-
dent Elmer Helm responded:
“We have no problem with
thar. That’s reasonable.

That's similar to the deal

Shore, the three-rink ice
arena in Windridge.

If the zoning amendment
is approved by council it is
possible thar the tender
could ask the architect to
incorporate some form of
retractable exterior walls into
the facility.

Staffing for the proposed
facility wil likely be a manag-
