Under the policy, Community Tennis Clubs establish and maintain capital reserve funds to make capital repairs and improvements to the Community Tennis Club assets. Banbury Tennis Club is a Community Tennis Club operating at 120 Banbury Road within the Banbury Community Centre in Ward 15, Don Valley West. To mark Banbury's 50th anniversary, the Club is proposing to refurbish four tennis courts using its capital reserve fund. This project would be delivered through a construction and donation agreement with Parks, Forestry and Recreation. Thorncliffe Park Tennis Club is a Community Tennis Club operating at 15 Leaside Park Drive within Leaside Park in Ward 15, Don Valley West. Thorncliffe is proposing to reconstruct court 6 which has been affected by a tree root. The Club will use its capital reserve fund to cover the costs of the project. This project would be delivered through a construction and donation agreement with Parks, Forestry and Recreation. The total in-kind donation amount for both projects is valued up to $0.150 million and $0.100 respectively. Under City Council's Donations to the City of Toronto for Community Benefits Policy, Council authority is required to accept donations over $0.050 million. The proposed scopes of work for Banbury Tennis Club and Thorncliffe Park Tennis Club have been reviewed and approved by staff. No costs will be incurred by Parks, Forestry and Recreation for the court refurbishment, and ongoing maintenance will be covered through the Division's existing budget. This motion is urgent in order for capital projects to commence as early as spring 2024.
