Colley-Urquhart and Woolley were there for sure. Can’t recall if others were or not.

I recall the first release being pretty explicit that there had been no formal talks with the city, and implied very little discussion behind the scenes.

It's not Nenshi's job to help negotiations, it's his job to help Calgary and Calgarians.
We're driving around in a 1993 Honda Accord with 220000km's on it, but pretty much everything is working fine, including the A/C. The latch on the glove box is broken and there is a crack in the windshield, but it's mechanically fine. It could probably use new tires at some point, but it's safe.
Meanwhile, our actual house has a leaking roof, broken dishwasher, and the furnace is on the fritz, and may not get us through the winter. While many people are clamouring for a shiny new car, it isn't nearly as urgent as some of the other issues, and won't be as beneficial to all of the people living in the house. The car looks like it should be fine for another few years.
I'm okay with Nenshi reminding us that the new car better do more than just make our friend's from Edmonton jealous, make our carpool buddy a bit happier (CSEC, bumming free rides), and...maybe allow us to become an Uber driver (ie. attract a few more concerts each year...the revenue looks nice, until you factor everything else in and realize it's not worth it).

He's on it by default. He's also said he doesn't plan to attend meetings, at least not at the start.
