The effects of inflation have caused the total budget to increase, how- ever, for adjustments and self - supporting recreation programs have generated increases in revenue. Ontario Government sponsored programs (Experience) will still be required to adequately maintain the existing areas. D /E -19 Development The Conservation Area Development budget no longer includes those management activities directly related to land management, for example tree planting and stream improvement programs. This is now included in the Interim Water and Related Land Management Plan. The Development budget contains only those it which are directly associated with Visitor Service Facilities. In preparing this budget, staff have endeavoured to include those items which will improve services to the general public resulting in increasing participation rates and improving the recreation experience. As well the development has been concentrated in three Areas. At Albion Hills, budget monies will be used for the construction of a prototype picnic shelter and wash - roan building, as well as an attractive control cabin at the entrance of the family camping area. At Cold Creek an attractive entrance building and control building on the trap ranges will be constructed in 1979. Work at Bruce's Mill will complete the foundation of the mill, provide better winter access for the ski facility and will improve the maple syrup operation. An unfortunate change in policy of the Province of Ontario required that the support costs of the Waterfront Project be included in the Conservation and Recreation Land Management budget. This effectively eliminated funding that had been anticipated by staff to be available for Conservation Area Development. The most important impact of this policy change has been on the decision to remove the Tourist Camp - ground from the Development Budget in 1979. Funding for this project will be sought from alternate sources. The Board Recommends that the 1979 Preliminary Budget, appended as Schedule "A" be adopted and included in the 1979 Authority budget. P.B. Flood, Administrator, 1978.09.18 Conservation Land Management Division CONSERVATION LAND MANAGEMENT 1979 PRELIMINARY BUDGET ESTIMATES PRELI MINARY 1979 CURRENT BUDGET ESTIMATES PROGRAM Operations & Maintenance - Conservation Area Operations PURPOSE: The conservation and management of lands under the jurisdiction of the Authority and the provision of outdoor recreation opportunities. - 1979 OBJECTIVES: PAGE - the management and operation of 17,000 acres of Authority lands including 13 conservation areas, which will provide 1.5 million user days of recreation - due to continued budget limitations, the 1979 estimates provide for the same level of maintenancE of service as in previous years. This reflects adjustments in Authority priorities. Selective use and management of Authority lands is required to maximize use and minimize costs. - to provide self- supporting visitor services FUNDING: Program revenues and the General Levy on all participating municipalities. No Provincial grant is available for this program. FINANCIAL COMMENTS: OBJECTIVE CLASSIFICATIONS: In 1978, budgetted revenues were met because of excellent weather conditions, continued interest in the Albion Hills winter program and the addition of the Bruce's Mill winter program. In 1979, projected program revenues have been estimated to be higher than 1978, reflecting some fee changes and increased program revenues.
