Vincent Baffa. A payment of $200,000 was then received, and has since accumulated interest in the amount of $16,633.73. To date $164,633.73 remains unspent. After consulting with North York Planning Staff it has been determined that the funds can be redirected to a different purpose after remaining unspent for many years. My office will work with City Planning to amend the existing Zoning By-law Section 37 provisions and redirect $30,000 towards much needed St. Conrad Catholic School playground improvements, and the balance towards parkland improvements in the vicinity of the development site. This Motion recommends that the Section 37 provisions of the site-specific zoning By-law No. 3-2005 (OMB) be amended to specify that $30,000 of the secured and uncommitted funds may be used for St. Conrad Catholic School playground improvements, and the balance for parkland improvements in the vicinity of the development site.
