Councillors Wilkinson, Currie, and Sorensen
all spoke in favour of the RFP process stating
that they have heard repeatedly from residents
that the sale of the Recreation Complex should
be a process that was open to any interested
parties.
Councillor Baier said she was in favour of the
RFP process and believes that, “The Edson Golf
Club is regarded highly in the process as far as
weighting goes.” Baier also said while
administration must give an unbiased
recommendation ultimately council will choose
the successful proponent. “I think the club has a
high opportunity to be selected and this process
does not lessen their bid,” said Baier.
“This has been a difficult issue. I have heard a
lot of complaints about the process,” said Mayor
Zahara, “The Golf Club has made some good
points. They were expecting an agreement.”
Mayor Zahara said he has “never felt
comfortable” since the December 5 meeting Jim Eglinski
when council changed directions and went with
the RFP process. He does, however, believe that
the RFP as presented by administration was MP Yellowhead
