Lets take a page from the Oil Industry - how about the entire development as a Joint Venture between Calgary Sport and Entertainment and the City of Calgary. Positioning the City to receive a share of future benefits turns any "contributions made" into an investment, not corporate charity. CSE stays as the "JV Operator". Could make it a more palatable pill to sell to John Q Taaaaaxpayer...
