South Downtown Waterfront, Georgia Park
On Monday Council Agenda

South Downtown Waterfront CommitteeRevised Mandate and Objectives To obtain Council support for the continuation of the South Downtown Waterfront Committee.
Minutes of the Georgia Park / Insight Developments Public Hearing. Adopt the amended minutes.
100+ in attendance, a large majority of the delegations were opposed. Councillor Brennan's motion to defer the Staff Report back for further work, clarification, defeated. Councillor Brennan, Kipp, Pattje in favour. Motion to approve the height and square footage increases approved, Councillors Brennan, Kipp, Pattje opposed. Council now to decide on method of "elector  assent".
There is every indication that Senior Staff and most Councillors want to ensure that the lease of the waterfront park is not an issue for public discussion during the current election campaign. We can each draw our own conclusion as to why they fear its proper public airing.
Written submissions to the hearing (minutes state there were 36 written submissions and 20 delegations) here.
