DOCUMENTED QUESTIONS · WRITTEN MINUTES
Could the City contribute more than the $2,000 ice-time waiver to Hockey Helps the Homeless?
- Answer recorded
- Recreation identified staff, marketing and youth-centre support as possible in-kind contributions.
- Result or follow-up
- Additional in-kind staff support was suggested.
Did the Noble House rebate remove tax on the land as well as the burned building?
- Answer recorded
- The mayor clarified that only the destroyed improvement was rebated; land tax remained payable.
- Result or follow-up
- Answered in the written minutes.
Could budget-variance reports be produced quarterly and presented to Finance Committee?
- Answer recorded
- Finance said the reports could go quarterly after each quarter closed, although a separate Q4 report was unlikely because year-end statements would follow.
- Result or follow-up
- Quarterly Finance Committee reporting was accepted in principle.
Did financial analysis account for seasonal changes in water and sewer use?
- Answer recorded
- Finance said staff used year-over-year monthly comparisons and considered seasonal and commercial variation.
- Result or follow-up
- Answered in the written minutes.
