TITLE: KICKBOXING EVENT SPONSORSHIP

____ Draft By-Law _X_ Item ____ Policy Recommendation

Mayor D. Backer and Members of Council:

Action’s School of Fitness and Arts held a kickboxing event for the past 5 years in conjunction with

Mattawa Voyageur Days. The event adds diversity to the annual summer festival and Council

supported the club in the past by providing a cash sponsorship in the amount of $500.00 which

assisted with the considerable costs associated with organizing such an event.

This year the club is hosting its sixth event during Voyageur Days on Saturday July 29, 2017. Due

to the great success of the first four events, it is recommended that the Mayor and Council once

again support in the form of a sponsorship and by declaring the event as an event of municipal

significance for the purpose of acquiring a Special Occasion Permit from the Province of Ontario’s

ACGO.

Recommendation:

That the Mayor and Council of the Town of Mattawa, in recognition of Action’s School of Fitness

and Arts Kickboxing Event, approve a $500.00 cash sponsorship for the event which will assist the

club in hosting and defraying the costs associated with organizing such an event which also adds to

the total Voyageur Days entertainment mix. And further, that Council endorses and supports

Action’s School of Fitness and Arts event on Saturday July 29, 2017 as an event of municipal

significance for the purpose of acquiring a Special Occasion Permit from the Province of Ontario’s

ACGO.

TITLE: STUDENT SUMMER EMPLOYMENT

_ Draft By-Law __X___ Item _____ Policy Recommendation

Mayor D. Backer and Members of Council:

The Corporation of the Town of Mattawa annually employs students for summer employment in the

Recreation Department to carry out a variety of tasks and projects. These students gain a great

work experience plus provides them with needed funds most often assisting with their education

requirements.

The Recreation Department is recommending the same number of students be hired in 2017 as in

2016. These positions shall be as follows:

Mattawa Waterfront 5.5 students

Swimming Instructor 1 student (plus special events)

Children/Youth Program 4 students

Special Events 3 students

Information Centre 3 students

Green Team 2.5 students

The Town of Mattawa makes application to various Ministries or agencies for funding assistance.

Some students are assigned while others are subsidized. All students are kept more than busy

carrying out their assigned duties.

Recommendation:

It is therefore recommended that the Corporation of the Town of Mattawa employ nineteen (19)

students for summer employment in the Recreation Department for 2017. These expenses are to be

covered in the 2017 operational budget under account # 1-70-700-534-231.

DEPT. HEAD: JACQUES BEGIN, RECREATION & FACILITIES SERVICES

MANAGER

TITLE: MATTAWA SPLASH PAD

____ Draft By-Law __X__ Item ____ Policy Recommendation

Mayor D. Backer and Members of Council:

There has been much discussion and a lot of interest in the possibility for the construction of a

Mattawa Splash Pad in the past few years. Mattawa is surrounded by various waterways, lakes and

streams so there would automatically be interest in some sort of water based facility. Swimming

pools are extremely cost prohibitive from all specters. Although far from ideal, a waterfront

(Mattawa River) swim program along with swimming lessons was introduced and has realized some

success.

Some of the key benefits of a Splash Pad are that although somewhat complex in nature they are in

reality quite simple…clean potable water runs through a pipe out through the various sprays

soaking the kids then down the drain and….that’s it!! The brief time that the water does spray or

pour out is what brings joy and happiness to the child. Their minds are wandering and imaginations

run wildly. No standing water…no huge expensive pumps…low power consumption…low

maintenance costs…little to no staffing costs…all these points lead up to a huge upside for the

municipality. Splash Pads have been described as one of the best things that has happened to a

community.

A community Splash Pad Committee was formed to Champion the Splash Pad Project. These

individuals gathered up the project and patiently moved the ideas and ideals to where we are today.

They created a lot of buzz throughout the community through various media and created a lot of

awareness with events such as Comedy Nights and other fundraising campaigns. People started

listening…they started hearing more and more about this Splash Pad project and were interested.

Businesses have jumped on board by providing much needed dollars along with promises to help

where they can with in-kind contributions. The Community has started a significant fundraiser with

“CHASE THE ACE” campaign and it is growing steam.

The Corporation Town of Mattawa prepared a very detailed Request for Proposals to contract an

experienced and expert company to provide input and direction for a Splash Pad. CRCS submitted

a successful tender and agreed to assist during the initial stage 1 of the project at no cost to the

Page 21: THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF MATTAWAmattawa.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/June-12th-Agenda.pdf · education campaign be provided, including social media to complement the efforts

Municipality. Please note that providing these services at NO cost was NOT the deciding factor to

contract CRCS to assist with phase 1. They are a very experienced company who have constructed

a number of these Pads for numerous communities.

Staff and Committee representatives worked side by side with CRCS to develop the Mattawa

Splash Pad concept. Numerous meetings, discussions and emails have brought the project to this

point. The Committee and Staff are comfortable with the amount of information received to

approach Council and request that the Corporation Town of Mattawa move forward with this

project. The Splash Pad Committee will also continue to fundraise with funds going towards the

addition of more spray units and amenities for the Pad.

The Committee is recommending TIMMINS PARK as the choice location for the Mattawa Splash

Pad. Location is ideal as it is within an existing playground setting with playground equipment, a

covered picnic area, totally fenced for children’s safety and in close proximity to downtown where

families have access to stores and restaurants. There is an existing washroom facility that will be

replaced with a new unit as recommended by CRCS. These are all self-contained solar panel units

that look ideal and relatively affordable for this project’s purposes.

The existing fence is located relatively close to the street leaving limited parking space. Presently,

people park their vehicles but then have to walk behind their vehicles along the street to access the

park gate. This is not safe as vehicles need to back up when leaving. Children may be super

excited to play in the park and could run behind one of these vehicles backing out. Therefore, a

new fence will be installed along Water Street and Timmins Street. A parking and walking path

and a series of fence gates will be created along this street. There will also be a gate opening along

Water Street for foot pedestrians. Parking along Water Street will be discouraged.

The location of the Splash Pad within Timmins Park is where the present baby swings are located.

This swing set is the original set installed well over 40 years ago. The area around the swing is

underutilized as it is in a non-playable location but super ideal for the splash pad. The large pine

tree has been removed and the old swing set will also be removed.

Council has been provided with two (2) Splash Pad presentations and reports. A public

presentation was made on April 24, 2017 followed by a Report to Council (agenda) on May 8,

2017. These reports provided more details including a cost breakdown. The Mattawa Splash Pad

Committee will continue to contact various contractors required to carry out work in-kind or at a

generous reduction in fees.

Council has included the total cost of the Mattawa Splash Pad in the 2017 Municipal Budget.

Recommendation:

It is therefore recommended that the Corporation Town of Mattawa approve the construction of the

MATTAWA SPLASH PAD at a budget cost of $160,000.00. These costs include the cost of the

complete splash pad, new fencing along Timmins and Water Street and a new washroom/change

room facility. The Town of Mattawa commits up to $100,000.00 in cash. The Mattawa Splash Pad

Committee is responsible for and commits the remaining funds to complete the project. It is further

recommended that the Corporation Town of Mattawa contract CRCS Recreation to design the

splash pad and supervise during construction.
