City contemplating $300,000 expenditure

Community Remembrance Day

The Remembrance Day ceremony starts 10:15am at the Civic Centre, on Wed., Nov. 11. Laying of the wreaths at the cenotaph afterwards. Refreshments following the parade & march to the Legion Hall. Baron of beef dinner courtesy of the Sanders family at 4:30pm. For more info, 378-5631.

City Council is contemplating a $3000,000 expenditure towards a country music hall of honour and museum. The City’s contribution is intended to attract grants of $900,000. The $300,000 would come from a $400,000 fund to pay 1/3 of the costs of Country Music Hall of Honour & reconstructing the Voght-Belshaw intersecMuseum public meeting tion and the Gasoline Alley frontage road. Thurs. Nov. 12, 7pm at the Civic That project cannot go ahead now, because Centre. You may also indicate your opina gov’t grant for 2/3 of the cost is not availion by contacting councillors, or phonable at this time. When grants were availing City Hall 378-4224. able the City could not find funds for its share of the cost. When grants become available again the City will be back at square one, because the money for its share has been spent on the museum. The museum, another Walk of Stars initiative, is now located in Calgary where the artifacts are in storage because there is insufficient public support to keep the museum open. I admire the Walk of Stars for trying to help downtown business. The big box stores that are amenities for us mean disaster for downtown. Something needed to be done. I admire the Walk of Stars for their ingenuity, tenacity and their ability to attract million dollar gov’t grants and the ability to dominate City politics. However, I cannot help wondering how much this brute force of cash will really improve tourist traffic, and I have a concern about the cost to the local taxpayer. My concern is shared by most Merrittonians, but we have politely kept quiet because “Man who say it cannot be done should not interrupt man doing it.” City Hall has no tally of local cash spent on Walk of Stars related ventures, and nobody has shown any interest in making that calculation. It has to be over $1 million. Our share of the Voght St. bridge decorations was $60,000. Our share of Spirit Square is $425,000 so far and it is half finished. One big surprise that any newly elected City Councillor gets is that there is very little money for discretionary spending. The bulk of the $5.4 million tax revenue is spoken for. If you decide to spend on wants instead of on needs, you have to rob the infrastructure budget. Merritt has been replacing its aging sewage collection system at a rate of $200,000 annually, but not this year. There was no money for it. The City has predicted annual tax increases to be in excess of 10% for the next couple of years. A 1% increase Henry Norgaard, Merritt raises only $54,000. Do we still feel rich?

"investment" of $300,000 local taxpayer dollars. It seems incredibly irresponsible to be spending taxpayer money at three different levels on a project that, under current economic conditions, can at best be considered marginal. There is, as far as I understand, no coherent business plan from the Walk of Stars on how this money will be spent. How much of this money is going to directors/employees of the Walk of Stars simply for getting the grants? Given that the Walk of Stars has never adequately shown their expenditures to council in the past, I am dubious about how this money will be spent. In short, $1.2 million seems excessive for an upgrade to an existing building and I have no confidence the Walk of Stars will adequately account for it. Similarly, beyond the vague reference to "important tourism draw", there is nothing to suggest that anyone has any idea what the potential economic benefits to the community will be. It would take many, many tourists attracted *only* by this "attraction" to provide any economic effect on the community. If it is simply a side visit for tourists who are already coming to Merritt then what would these visitors have to be charged to enter the museum and how long before this revenue came anywhere close to paying off the $1.2 million? Why the rush? We only have a week to decide? We must "cast a ballot" at the November 12th meeting indicating our support or opposition? Why do I need to cast a ballot (I've never cast a ballot at any previous public meeting held by the city)? We will have no time to digest the information presented? Again, I am leery of obtaining taxpayer money on short notice. What are the checks and balances on obtaining and using this money? How will we assess the effectiveness of any plan presented? Again, when people are asking me for my money and are in a rush to get it I am especially leery. Finally, taxpayer money is taxpayer money. When I boil down all the hype from the "notice" I am left with: this is a unique opportunity to get money from you so we can get more money from you. Look after the infrastructure of this community properly (build/pave/repair roads and repair the aging water supply system) and we will attract business. Let that infrastructure languish while we foolishly spend money on "pet" projects and no one will want to come or return to the town anyway. I urge council to take a long and sober look at this proposal and not be rushed into Yours truly, Peter Vogt, Merritt something without adequate study.
