I was watching Murdoch's Mysteries as I wrote the last post. It had all kinds of twists and turns.
Like a report to Council. You never know where the input came from before it reaches Council.
Citizen Advisory Committees often make recommendations to include things in the budget.
The members are volunteers. It gives them moral suasion elected officials don't have.
A person could spend a lot of time sniffing things out and tracking things down. It's not particularly useful.
Staff recommended a Gold Standard for energy conservation for the Joint Facility. Councillor Ballard made an amendment to raise that to Platinum Standard.
Well, y'know. can't have one member more in favor of conservation than another. It's a competition being green......so whamo... all but one in immediate support.
The design includes a green roof .
In the meantime, if we gave the Rangers notice to vacate the hydro building and moved parks back, we could put $26 million back where it didn't come from

What Joint Facility ?
I think it has something to do with medical marijuana, 21:41.
"To every thing there is a season
and a time to every purpose"
In what season are we and what is the purpose?
21:41 Public Works/Parks & Rec....You know the one that will cost a measly $26 million to build because the land that the Town purchased was crap.
Oh No, Please dont throw the "kiddies" out of their comfy abode, after all its only 20 Million and where will they go ? what will they do?

My point was that you cannot award a structure yet to be approved with any kind of Standard. You might hope but that does not make it a reality.
The ' kiddies ' as Morris called them don't spend much time around town. They touch base for a few events only. It was a rushed mistake to give them the tenancy. And this Council is following the same pattern of panicked decision-making.
