The existing agreement expires on June 30, 2017. A new agreement would see the monthly lease rise to $700 per month from $500 per month based on water and sewer costs from summer 2016.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>The other options examined in the staff report were to add portable units to the park, build a permanent washroom facility, or purchase freestanding pod units.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have three really nice washrooms that already exist, although the Town doesn\u2019t own them,&#8221; said the Town&#8217;s Executive Director of Community Services, Kari Lambe. &#8220;They suit the need, they are accessible, we can control them, we already have the cleaning of them in our scheduling and Coldwell Banker is willing to move forward with another five-year lease with the town. Staff is recommending that we move forward with the lease.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Mayor Karin Terziano responded with a request to table the motion for one month, &#8220;to explore one more option based on discussions I\u2019ve had about the possibility of repurposing one of the small sheds down at River Mill Park as a seasonal washroom. I believe water and sewer is right there and I think we could have a seasonal, accessible washroom down there for probably half the money we\u2019d spend over the next five years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the meeting, Lambe noted that while the larger of the three storage sheds in the park has been used for events, the two smaller sheds have not been used as much.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\"><p>Most people already think they are washrooms. They would service the park well and it wouldn\u2019t be an ugly porta-potty in our jewel.<br \/>\n<cite>Deputy Mayor Karin Terziano<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The motion was tabled until the next General Committee meeting to give staff time to explore the option of converting the storage sheds to seasonal washrooms. Mayor Scott Aitchison, who works for Coldwell Banker, declared a conflict and was not present for the discussion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
