Upon the sale of the building, the Chamber bought back the Town\u2019s interest in the washrooms, revenues that will be used to pay for the one-year lease with Coldwell Banker at a cost of approximately $8,400 per year or $700 per month plus HST.<\/p>\n<p>At Huntsville\u2019s June 27 council meeting, Councillor and Deputy-Mayor Karin Terziano asked that the remainder of funds be earmarked specifically for the future construction of permanent public washrooms and that they not get lost in the Town\u2019s general reserves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven after this rental we\u2019ll have $50,000 left,\u201d said Terziano, who urged that the funds be protected. \u201cWe will know by next summer if we\u2019re going to [build] a permanent washroom or not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The hours of operation will remain status quo, according to Corry. She also noted that despite the fact that the lease does not officially commence until July 1, Coldwell Banker has been making the washrooms available to the public in the interim.<\/p>\n<p>Huntsville Mayor Scott Aitchison declared a pecuniary interest and left the room during the discussions, as he is a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Town of Huntsville has solved its need to provide public washrooms, particularly to patrons of River Mill Park, for at least another year.
