Committee of the Whole Committee of the Whole Meeting
The meeting focused on two primary topics: the proposed memorandum of understanding between the City of Revelstoke and the Revelstoke Recreation Facilities Legacy Society regarding community fundraising for a future arena capital project, and a discussion on the management approach for the existing arena facility. Key points included clarifying that the city would handle donations and issue tax receipts for funds collected, while the society would focus on fundraising initiatives. Regarding the existing arena, the council discussed two management options, ultimately favoring a repair and sustain approach that prioritizes life safety and regulatory compliance while maintaining the facility for the next 5 to 10 years, noting that a yearly structural assessment will continue until the building is no longer in use.
