For reference purposes, the following is the notice of motion as given to Council at its meeting held on September 24, 2013:

 

"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."
