Background Information (City Council)
Motions (City Council)
That Councillor Norman Kelly be permitted to add to the agenda of today's meeting an urgent Motion without Notice concerning:
City Hall Observation Deck
Reason for Urgency:
This Motion is urgent as Spring is only a few months away and, if the observation deck is to be readied for public access, City staff will need time to research this request, City Council will need time to debate the options and City staff to make any required physical and administrative changes to implement City Council direction.
That City Council direct the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, in consultation with the Chief Corporate Officer, to examine revenue generation opportunities including admission fees for the deck, special event permits or other options as part of the business case rationale to prepare and open the City Hall Observation Deck.
