Nenshi wasn't begging for this, it isn't his idea to spend $170,000 and he welcomes different ideas on how to proceed. All of council was involved in the discussion.

Sounds like the same thing to me albeit from a slightly more neutral angle. It's a bad idea regardless of who's idea it is and it's something that previous mayors all had to deal with so I'm not exactly sure what makes Nenshi special that he can't chair the meetings. Bell simply goes into it deeper rationalizing why Nenshi is struggling with chairing the meetings and it's pretty clear Nenshi supporters struggle with his shortcomings being brought up.
