Some of those links are hilarious.. How about you pack up and go home in shame.

Ok folks, while I’m hesitant to make a deal with the City, I will bend to the idea that it’s likely a good show of solidarity with OWS to begin good faith negotiations. Also, I think Arran makes some very good points in his post. Please consider them. That said, here’s my suggestions for items in an agreement. I’m sure there are many other suggestions to consider:

1) That the city find a place agreeable to OC where we can hold GAs in safety and warmth.  

2) That the city will cover rent for said place.

3) That the city pay for the rental of all equipment necessary to hold our GAs. For example: mics, amp’s, speakers, tables, chairs etc. Including internet access for live steaming.

4) That the city pay to hold sixteen GAs as stated above with time/date/location/format of our choosing. (Maybe even twenty to get us through our winter of discontent with weekly GAs).

  5) That the city permit one tent at the plaza, or at a mutually agreed location, as an info booth to disseminate information to the public and to operate during normal park hours.

6) That the city provide electricity during normal park hours to ensure adequate lighting in and around the information tent referred to in 5) and provide assistance (CFD, Bylaw) in setting up an adequate and compliant heating system for the information tent referred to in 5). Also, that the city provide security for the information tent during off hours.

7) That the city pay for three evenings rental of the largest rooms at every Community Hall in Calgary for the purpose of holding public forums.

8) That the city pay for the rental of all equipment necessary to hold such forums. For example: mic’s, amp’s, speakers, tables, chairs etc. Including internet access for live steaming.

9) That the city pay to advertise all public forums. Including TV, radio, newspapers, community newsletters, etc.

10) That the city pay for a CPS presence at each public forum for the duration of the meeting.

I’d decline the city’s offer to provide planners/help to set this up. It’s probably more trouble than it’s worth.
