Cost rises to $13.4 million
With only Councillor Bill Osbourne opposing the motion, St Marys council voted to give the architect an additional $10,000.
Garwood-Jones and Hanham Architects were scheduled to present plans to council this month. Instead, they said the building will now cost $13.386 million up from $12.160 million estimated August 23, 2005. As their fee is based on the cost of the building, the architect told council their fee will rise to $134,000.
On November 5, 2005 when St Marys Council Votes $124,000 for Architect the justification given by council was that the architect's design was needed in order to get provincial funding.
In opposing today's motion Bill Osbourne said,
"Why do we have to continue? We have enough information now and we can go out and see if the money is there."
