Moved by Deputy Mayor Jack
Heath
Seconded by Councillor Logan
Kanapathi
Whereas Markham and its
taxpayers are financial guarantors of the Markham Sports, Entertainment and
Cultural Centre, which would pose a significant and unnecessary risk for a
financially responsible municipality of a limited size like Markham; and,
Whereas the Proposed
Financial Framework (PFF) includes a special levy of approximately $5,000 on
new housing units, which is unfair to new homeowners and may also be challenged
in court; and,
Whereas the PFF
recommends the use of Section 37 money – usually used to enhance neighbourhood
parks, trails and other local amenities – for arena construction; and,
Now
therefore be it resolved:
1) That Markham
Council rescind its previous approval of the PFF and all other matters
contained in the April 26, 2012 report titled “Markham Sports, Entertainment
and Cultural Centre”; and,
2) That Markham
Council direct staff to terminate all work and negotiations on operating and
cost-sharing agreements within the parameters of the PFF; and further,
3) That Markham
Council encourage the proponents and others to explore private funding
opportunities for the construction of the building along the lines of the Site
Plan already approved.
