• 'City has committed to constructing a library/civic building on the civic complex site.'


• ' Council may consider other ways in which to finance the Library Civic Complex project should the "Library and Civic Complex Loan Authorization Bylaw #5086, 2007" not proceed.'


• -the issue is no longer whether the proposal will go on, now it is about the method of payment.“Whether this is going to happen is not the question, it is just about the borrowing aspect.”

Don Quixote Rant: I would like to see a vote at open council on Monday on the following resolution(s) immediately after the Loan Authorization bylaw is passed:

We will not go to referendum and Council will consider other ways in which to finance the Library Civic Complex project should the "Library and Civic Complex Loan Authorization Bylaw #5086, 2007" not proceed

OR If a Councillor wishes to propose a positive resolution it could be:

We will go to referendum should the "Library and Civic Complex Loan Authorization Bylaw #5086, 2007" not proceed by virtue of an alternate approval process vote exceeding the 10% criteria.
