Motions and Notices of Motion

Mover – Councillor Lisa Haun

Seconder – Councillor Ron Kore

WHEREAS, The Rural Economic Development (RED) program offered by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) focuses on economic growth by offering cost-share funding to municipalities for outcome-based projects that will address barriers to economic development, enhance economic growth and attract investment to Ontario’s rural communities; and

WHEREAS, there are two (2) funding streams available being:

1. The Strategic Economic Infrastructure stream of the program provides up to 30 per cent in cost-shared funding for minor capital projects that advance economic development and investment opportunities; and
   
   
2. The Economic Diversification and Competitiveness stream provides up to 50 per cent in cost-shared funding for projects that remove barriers to business and job growth, attract investment, attract or retain a skilled workforce, strengthen sector and regional partnerships and diversify regional economies; and

WHEREAS, The Niagara Central Dorothy Rungeling Airport is located in Pelham and is a municipally owned airport operated by a Commission representing the communities of Pelham, Welland, Port Colborne, and Wainfleet; and

WHEREAS, While the airport offers aviation fuel service per a contract negotiated by a previous Commission, this existing arrangement is not considered cost-effective by the current Commission as it does not allow for 24/7 access to fuel nor does the Commission receive maximum monetary benefit from fuel sales as it currently must pay for an external provider to operate the fuel pump; and

WHEREAS, Utilizing the RED (grant) program to assist in the purchase and installation of a pay-at-the-pump 24/7 self-serve fuel system will serve to increase revenue generated by fuel sales by a minimum of 50 per cent in addition to increasing the potential for new fuel sales by visiting aircraft that require fuel at any time day or night; and

WHEREAS, The purchase and installation cost of the fuel system in estimated at $33,659.95 plus tax; and 

WHEREAS, If successfully awarded the RED grant funding could result in savings of 30 to 50 per cent for this initiative. Any remaining costs will be funded by the Commission; and

WHEREAS, The deadline for applying for this grant is Feb 24, 2020, and

BE IT RESOLVED THAT Staff be directed to investigate the RED grant and if feasible make required applications to be considered for the said grant; and

THAT Upon passing this motion by Pelham Council that the clerks in the municipalities of Welland, Port Colborne and Wainfleet be notified as soon as possible so that they can inform their respective councils of this decision.
