Farbrother clarifies that a 7% tix tax is NOT the maximum - might need to increase, if necessary to fund O&M. #yegcc #yegarena

If council gives green light to go ahead, Farbrother says would be planning to be back in front of #yegcc in March. #yegarena

The idea of paying a ticket tax at Rexall really burns me. Why should I pay extra for an arena I'm not even using? #yegcc #yegarena

City mgr says if approval is given they can be back by march to sign final documents. #yeg #yegarena

Option A for construction of #yegarena would cost $601mill. $219 mill from city, $143 mill from Katz Group, $125 mill from ticket surcharge.

Karvellas says he thinks an August start date for construction is optimistic. (ie code for not bloody likely. I think.) #yegarena #yegcc

Fairbrother says shovels in the ground by August. Will they start work before #ableg comes up with its share? #yegcc #yegarena

Leibovici asks Farbrother if new options would still mean no increase in taxes. He says that is true. #yegarena

"This will cost more, but no tax increases." So Edmonton lives in a land without math. #yegarena #yegcc

Best part of new #yegarena is the visiting teams dressing rooms are in the Greyhound Bus station, the tunnel basically pays for itself #yeg

There is no way that taxes don't increase as a result of #yegarena deal getting passed by #yegcc. NONE. #mathisapparentlyhard

Rosen says the city would end up paying $5M more under new deal, compared to Oct. 2011 framework. Increase "quite manageable." #yegarena
