9. | Motions |
| 9.1 | Centennial Park (Councillor Stevens provided notice of the following motion at the meeting of April 10, 2017)
Whereas Centennial Park was the recipient of Federal funding in 1969 and this funding enabled this park to be a showcase for public participation and use.
Whereas a staff report of March 20, 2017 states that "Centennial Park fell into disrepair, in part, due to decades of underfunding the park's maintenance.
Whereas Centennial Park is located in the centre of our city and should be accessible to all citizens and from different locations.
Whereas Since 2010 Centennial Park has been the subject of budget deliberations for maintenance, restoration and development issues.
Whereas In 2017 Centennial Park has once again received Federal funding for its maintenance and to assist in restoring its' profile within the city.
Therefore Be It Resolved that staff reconsider issues outlined in the report of March 20, 2017, regarding lighting, access points, trail connections and maintenance funding and recommend to Council that these be re-instated as important if not priority items for discussion in the 2018 budget deliberations. FORTHWITH
