Organizing the event is definitely out of their mandate, but let's just be clear; the thing they would be voting on is whether the city of calgary should devote funds to hosting the olympics here. So, you are implying you don't want elected officials to vote on/decide whether to use city funding for an activity, just because it's a sporting event?
Who should decide the use of city funds and facilities then?
