I'd like to propose a Poll.
Which of the following scenarios reflects your current view on public funding of the new Arena Project.
For the purposes of this poll, the ticket tax will be considered to be a CSEC contribution and the City will provide the land. The City will own the building and will not collect property taxes.
1. No public funding should be provided to the Flames excepting the site.
2. 25% cash funding of the building design and construction costs with no mechanism in place for repayment of those monies.
3. 25% cash funding of the building design and construction costs which includes a mechanism in place for repayment of those monies.
4. 33% cash funding of the building design and construction costs with no mechanism in place for repayment of those monies.
5. 33% cash funding of the building design and construction costs which includes a mechanism in place for repayment of those monies.
6. 50% cash funding of the building design and construction costs with no mechanism in place for repayment of those monies.
7. 50% cash funding of the building design and construction costs which includes a mechanism in place for repayment of those monies.
8. 65% cash funding of the building design and construction costs with no mechanism in place for repayment of those monies.
9. 65% cash funding of the building design and construction costs which includes a mechanism in place for repayment of those monies.
10. Fund the building 100% if necessary. The Flames are THAT important to the community.
Not perfect but at least we'd have an idea where people stand.
