meeting
Through the Chair, I ask you to not misstate any of my statements.
At no time have I said I do not agree with this project.
My questions are on the basis of noise and fiscal health and whether the city should be spending $150,000 when it is in a structural budget imbalance.
And furthermore, we do not know what is the choice of material.
And as I pointed out, depending on the choice of material, the maintenance needs to be done at a three year or five year interval to a 10 year or 20 or 30 year or 100 year.
We are hearing from staff it's 10 years, so we'll take it at that.
But even every 10 years, spending $150,000 on this project for maintenance or replacement is a significant cost for a facility that is non-revenue generating and has no cost recovery.
The city has a cost recovery policy and we are obligated to keep in mind LU 8.1, which is fiscal health policy.
Sorry, Chair.
My question was whether the Chair called for commissioned reports from other commissioners.
Through the chair, I think a number of future agenda items have been proposed.
Can we... What would be the appropriate...
method to understand the disposition of proposed future agenda items that were previously offered?
Through the Chair, a number of subcommittees have been proposed, which do not require staff bandwidth.
I would urge the Chair to use the Chair's discretion to agendize subcommittees, allowing commissioners to take forward studies that can occur in parallel with staff activity that may be
fairly consumed with various projects that are in review currently.
So we have a number of subcommittee future agenda items that I hope will get agendized.
Yes, thank you, Chair.
I think that was a good presentation.
I'm glad we were able to form the subcommittee.
