Confusion.....Clarity ????":

I read with interest in the Auroran about how badly Aurora needed to do the
Heritage purchase & all the reasons that the opportunity should not be
missed. The proponent was not one of the property owners. It was our own
head of staff. Can't recall ever voting for the man who I don't think even
lives in Aurora. I, on the other hand, am very familiar with the properties
in question, one of which has been rejected by the market for about 2
decades.

I do not know that the above statement is true. 

I do know Mr Albino  appeared as leading proponent with a real estate operator hard on his heels. 

The Historical  Society  was used in the process. 

The  Mayor lent  his  Office in support. 

The Report  to Council on Tueday is signed by the CAO. 

Written  by a Special Project Planner  subject to direction of the CAO.

A consultant study has been produced .Funding for same is in question. 

I am   not persuade to merit in the report .

Real estate speculation is  not the  role of  a Municipality .

Taxation on people's homes and business cannot be considered a source of risk capital. 

When Council  approved an  updated  Strategic, the decision  did not .could not  authorise staff to implement in a  myriad direction to make the vision
To take that meaning is to demonstrate failure to understand the basic principles of elective authority.

Strategic  Plan visions are excessive and language unbelievably juvenile. 

I cringe at reference to the  goal of   " an exceptional quality of life for all"

The right of people to choose  decision-makers is inviolate. 

I  believe  intent  of  members is to be the best they can be. 

The mandate ends in nine months. 

Time yet to demonstrate growth in competence and confidence. 

Immediately pending  decisions provide opportunity. 

First being the go-ahead for a Joint facility for Works and Parks to be constructed on a shelf  built out on the side of a ravine requiring massive retaining walls at a cost of millions to make  a poorly chosen site suitable  for the purpose . 

The  roject is as  sound and stable as the site is not. 

A review  and termination of  a lease to the federal government of a  town-owned site and building would  negate the need  for $ millions of excessive spending.

Little current use  of the facility  by the tenant is observed 

There's more . .. much more

The budget process provides .  Opportunities abound.

It's  alast chance.
