Questions For Mayor Krog & Council
Here are questions Nanaimo taxpayers need answered. Did this Council even question the staff recommendations? Use the following to draft your own letter and send it to Mayor.council@nanaimo.ca.
Why did the cost of replacing the HVAC system at the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre more than double—from about $5.6 million to $12 million—without any clear explanation of alternatives or options?
Was this truly the only path forward?
Taxpayers deserve to know:
-
Were cost-saving alternatives explored?
-
How much of the increased price was due to GHG-focused upgrades?
-
Were these climate-related features mandated, or voluntarily added?
-
What is the expected payback, if any, on these high-cost green components?
It’s not enough to simply say “costs have gone up.” In a time of high taxes and infrastructure neglect, it’s fair to ask if all options were weighed—and if this was truly the best use of $12 million in public money.
We want answers
