Speaking to council via a remote location, he noted that damage can often occur if the unit is not moved properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There seemed to be some confusion as to how long the manufacturer would hold on to the unit before requiring that it be delivered or taken to a special storage facility recommended by the manufacturer at a rate of $425\/month, plus the cost of moving it at about $1,960. In the end, both Huntsville Mayor Nancy Alcock and Deputy Mayor Dan Armour asked the Town&#8217;s account manager for the company how long they could leave the unit at the facility, and he indicated it could be stored there until October 15 at no charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Council asked staff to look at all options for locating the washroom unit at River Mill Park and see if some savings could be achieved. &#8220;I think though tonight we recognize these are our washrooms. We&#8217;ll embrace them. They&#8217;re going to be lovely. They&#8217;re going to be indestructible and I can hardly wait but it&#8217;s not going to happen tomorrow,&#8221; said Alcock, adding that she would feel better if the municipality followed due diligence and explored all additional cost-saving options with respect to the unit&#8217;s installation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Staff in their report also noted that the funds for the washroom unit installation would be coming from development charges from the cash-in-lieu of parkland reserve\u2014funds that are a direct result of development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The washroom unit once the refundable portion of the tax is considered is $293,883, according to staff. A private citizen donated $300,000 for the washrooms.
