The last time the extension was voted down it was unclear if the deal would be pulled off the table by CSEC if they voted to extend. Seems prudent to know exactly what would happen to the deal if council did decide to extend public engagement.
Also puts CSEC in a difficult position. Say no and the critics will say they are trying to force the deal through. Say yes and it gives time for those against the deal to turn more people against it.

I get that. I was just a bit confused over how this was allowed after they voted against it.
Basically as I understand it though is they are using a different avenue to forward their own supported agenda and ignoring what the council voted for. I guess the City Manager has a say in this somehow and they have petitioned to her to do what council voted against. A bit sneaky but I guess if it is allowed what can you do.
