BURNT RIVER COMMUNITY CENTRE UPDATE
From time to time the Management Board receives inquiries as to whether the Community Centre is self-sufficient operating in the black. The simple answer is “NO”—not without substantial financial support from the City. To illustrate, in 2009 the Volunteer Management Board’s operating budget was approximately $26000 which included a $15000 subsidy from the CoKL with the balance ($11000) coming from local rental income, donations etc. The Management Board’s mandate is to cover general maintenance and custodial expenses. In addition to the $15000 subsidy, the City also covers heating and electrical costs which in 2009 amounted to approximately $20000; as well the City covers the mandatory water and fire inspections and on-going maintenance; telephone expenses; grading, graveling and snowploughing; seasonal rental of one outdoor toilet for park; and all Capital expenses-such as the current project to replace the tired heating system estimated to cost about 15000. The 2009 total operational expenses for the Burnt River Community Centre was approximately $50000 with the City covering over 75% of that amount. In summary, we have a wonderful Community facility, thanks to the efforts of volunteers, user groups and particularly the on-going financial commitment by the City of Kawartha Lakes. Much appreciated!
