City council looks to be in for a long night Monday with a number of major issues up for debate.
Municipal Golf Course, RegenMed and the proposed event centre are all on the packed agenda. Consultants working on the Phase 2 Feasibility study will come before council to present their recommendations on the facility.
A report found the downtown waterfront is the best location for an event centre because it would benefit the area in the short and long term. The facility along with a new pedestrian overpass and 200-stall parking structure is valued at roughly $106 million.
In other business, city staff will give council funding options for continued support of ReGen Med. The troubled tissue bank has already received more than $1 million from the city and it’s looking for another $300,000 to keep the operation a float.
An attempt will also be made to try and keep Municipal Golf Course open for one more year. Council will decide whether a committee should be set up to look at ways of making the course sustainable.
