Ultimately its our money. That can't be under-estimated. If we aren't happy with how it's being spent we have a right to voice our displeasure.

Exactly, when our next municipal election rolls around those people can voice their displeasure through their vote.
We did elect these people to manage the cities budget and our tax dollars in the hopes of bettering Calgary. But if we are going to have plebiscites every time a group of people have a tizzy over money spent by council why did we bother to elect anyone in the first place?
