It's possible some of that stuff hasn't been agreed on 100% yet and the agreement in principle just covers the big picture. They could also be gaging public response before solidifying those details.
I think it was a unanimous agreement in city council due to the large lump sum infrastructure investment from the province, so the money the city is kicking in for the arena is traded off. Provinces typically help municipalities with infrastructure costs, but not always targeted and all at once like that. It would be hard for a city council to turn that down.
