Staff Direction on Pan-Am Ticat Stadium for discussion by council Jan. 6, 2011, 11:30am, City Hall

Since the Hamilton Tiger Cat Football Club and Paletta International Corporation are considering the development of a stadium in Burlington based on the following principles:

1) No capital contribution required from the City (except perhaps for minor off site infrastructure improvements, if needed)

2) No ongoing operating subsidy or operating costs from the City

3) Construction would not be undertaken by the City and all construction risks would rest with the proponents

4) Normal planning processes and community consultation would be respected.

Therefore, staff be directed to report back to the Budget and Strategic Planning Committee at the next meeting providing:

1) A Preliminary analysis

2) A description of areas that would need to be investigated in order for Council to fully consider the proposed stadium and its implications to the City of Burlington and particularly the Aldershot area.

3) And an estimate of staff time and consulting costs to undertake further review
