The Committee discussed the idea of having local businesses and service groups contribute to the redevelopment items needed for each phase. The Chair directed staff to look into this approach. The Chair discussed how we should manage fundraising for each redevelopment item on a case- by-case basis. Michele advised that some redevelopment items were priced higher than others to incorporate inflationary costs (i.e. many items not required until phase 3). Michele also discussed whether or not the Community Pool Change Room should be considered an item on the Fundraising spreadsheet to improve accessibility and increase the number of change rooms. Michele advised that the Community Pool is currently being used by members of the community (swimming lessons, aqua fit, stroke program), but there was discussion regarding potential future resident use. The Chair suggested that the item could be fundraised separate to the redevelopment fundraising project, but simultaneously. The Committee recognized the value of the Terrace Lodge pool and supported this recommendation. The Committee discussed the target goal for fundraising, and recommended adjusting it to seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($750,000) to support additional items that are identified and added to the list during the project. The Chair discussed the range of items on the Fundraising spreadsheet and how some could be donated by members of the community. The Chair directed staff to add a column to the spreadsheet for any items that have significant, long term operational cost implications, such as software license subscriptions. Action Items 1.Chair Giguère to work with Julie Gonyou and Megan to create a draft letter outlining the Terms of Reference for additional representatives to join the Committee. 2.Tanya and Lisa to add a column to the spreadsheet for any items that have significant long- term operational costs implications. 5.Project Plan The Chair presented a draft project plan to the Committee (project plan attached). The Committee reviewed the tasks to be completed on a monthly basis prior to launching the campaign in July 2020.; minor adjustments were made. The Committee discussed having either local businesses or students from local secondary and post-secondary institutions to design the logo. The Committee also discussed the option of writing an RFP. The Chair advised that these options will be considered later on. 6.Other Business i. Budget The Chair presented the draft budget to the Committee (budget attached). The Committee discussed various options for planning fundraising campaigns and whether the Committee wished to establish an operating budget in support of the campaign. The Committee agreed that there should be an operating budget to fund professional services such as graphic design, fundraising advice, printing, advertising, promotional events. The Committee also discussed whether the campaign should include credit card donations and an online presence, recognizing that this will involve fees. The Committee agreed to recommend to the Steering Committee that the Terrace Lodge fundraising be supported with an overall operating budget worth approximately 3% of the campaign goal, including campaign expenses and credit card fees. The Chair discussed presenting this proposal to the Terrace Lodge Redevelopment Steering Committee at the next meeting. 7.Prospective Donors The Committee discussed prospective donors and whether or not fundraising outside the County borders should be considered – statistics regarding current residents of Terrace Lodge place of residence pre-admission supports this need. The Chair has drafted a template prospective donor spreadsheet and will circulate to the Committee. The Committee will brainstorm prospective donors and create their own list to share at the February 12, 2020 meeting.
