'Spending six months of detailed staff time reviewing something that might not have any legs, that's not a good use of resources,' said Sam Austin

UPDATE: Councillor Sam Austin's motion has been postponed until the next meeting

************************

A regional councillor will put forward a motion Tuesday which would put an end to a proposed CFL stadium in Shannon Park before staff even finish a report.

Sam Austin says he doesn't see anything viable in this proposal.

Austin says he plans on asking council to rescind its motion asking staff to halt its review of a stadium proposal from Schooners Sports and Entertainment.

He tells NEWS 95.7 he doesn't feel the city should be wasting resources on something that may not come to fruition.

"Spending six months of detailed staff time reviewing something that might not have any legs, that's not a good use of resources," said Austin.

"I don't see any viable proposal coming out of this that would be fair for taxpayers, and I want out."

Austin says the proposal is too far away from something he would consider reasonable, adding he cannot support it.

Council will meet Tuesday afternoon.
