City council will revisit its decision to slash Renaissance Brandon funding at the upcoming council meeting on Tuesday.
Coun. Murray Blight (Victoria) is asking councillors to reconsider the $50,000 reduction in the 2013 tentative budget.
The full loss would be $100,000, as the province matches the dollars the city provides.
“When looking at this and seeing that we have an opportunity to have funding from the province … I think it’s straightforward, a no-brainer that we should pursue in getting the funds that are available to us, in helping towards the downtown development,” Blight said last month.
Since 2008, the city has provided $250,000 annually to Renaissance Brandon, the city’s downtown development corporation. Council recently voted to reduce the funding to $200,000 in the 2013 budget.
Also on Tuesday’s agenda is a presentation by Arnold Grambo and Orval Henderson, with respect to the establishment of the Brandon Community Builders organization to build affordable housing for low-income families.
Public hearings will be held on the designation of municipal heritage sites at 622 11th St. and 706 Lorne Ave.
Council will give third reading on the bylaw to change the boundaries of the Linden Lanes and Meadows wards, as well as address several rezoning bylaws.
