Hamilton – Top City officials and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats have decided on a facilitator to help guide the two sides through concerns over the site of the 2015 Pan Am Stadium.
“I have great confidence in this seasoned individual whose integrity and sense of fair play will help us find common ground and come to a workable solution for both parties,” said Mayor Fred Eisenberger. We know there is a finite window of opportunity to get this right and I remain committed to working with the Tiger-Cats to ensure this will be a positive, lasting legacy for the city of Hamilton for generations to come.
"We confirm that we have agreed on a facilitator,” said Tiger-Cats President Scott Mitchell. “We look forward to working with the facilitator to find a mutually beneficial solution for the city of Hamilton, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the taxpayers of our great city."
Mayor Eisenberger has called for a special meeting of Committee of the Whole for Wednesday, May 19, 2010. If the meeting is confirmed, it is anticipated that the Committee will approve the facilitator immediately.
Hamilton and 16 other municipalities throughout the Greater Golden Horseshoe will be participating in the 2015 Pan / Parapan Am Games. Hamilton will be hosting events at a new multi-purpose stadium, velodrome, 50-metre pool and volleyball at Copps Coliseum.
