Municipal Services Center study and design funding
Summary
The committee is being asked for $600,000 across two years to study, design, and permit a new public works facility on a former dump site — before any council decision to actually build it. Janssen called the amount outrageous; the construction money was already moved out of the five-year plan.

Impact analysis
$100,000 this year and $500,000 next year for study and preliminary design of a facility once estimated at over $17 million.
Public works staff would eventually get a functioning facility; planning now avoids delays later.
Taxpayers fund study costs for a building the council hasn't committed to build.
