One thing to keep in mind with Nenshi's statement is that he notes the city has already budgeted for the next couple years. Those budgets include not just spending, but planning for revenue - especially the tax rates. So Nenshi is probably quite correct in saying there is little to no ability to pull this funding right now.
Given the Flames' timelines though, their major asks will probably be coming just about the same time frame as the city's next budget planning cycles are in progress. We'll see how many councilors they can convince in that time.
