COUNCILLOR INQUIRIES

3.1.

Community Benefits Agreement Associated with New Arena
(L. Sloan)

 

 

 

It has been some time since Council passed the motion creating a funding framework for a downtown arena.  One of the core components of this motion was the commitment by the City and the Katz Group to negotiate a Community Benefits Agreement. 

I would appreciate the following information:

·         Who is negotiating the terms and proposals for this agreement on behalf of the City and Oilers' owner?

·         Has the Community been provided with a timeline for the negotiation of any terms of the Community Benefits Agreement?

·         What preliminary cost estimates are available to fund immediate community and general community components of such an agreement?

·         If the City funds through borrowing and reallocation of resources all of the $450 million cost of the arena, is it the City's position that the Oilers' owner be required to provide 100% of the Community Benefits Agreement funding (equivalent to 1% of total project cost)?

·         Will the Community Benefits Agreement proposals be brought to Council prior to their negotiation to ensure terms are adequate?
