Reader Questions City's AHF Funding

Hi Don,
Additional funding for Carol Watamaniuk's former group, Arts & Heritage Foundation.
In this week’s Saint City News, “Council unanimously approved a motion to designate $140,000 to the development of a plan that will detail the future of heritage related projects in St. Albert.
The plan is to provide a vision, strategies, initiatives and a potential implementation schedule to guide planning”.
What the hell does that mean, or is it just me?
City residents are funding our Arts & Heritage Foundation to the tune of one million dollars per annum, $900.000 of which go to staff wages, benefits and contract services. With such a payroll one could be forgiven for assuming that “visionary thinking, strategic planning and implementation scheduling” were already a part of the A.H.F. employee’s job description.
You couldn’t make it up.
Regards,
Robert Hartley
St. Albert

You’re right Robert, you could not make this stuff up. Things are so far fetched in what should be a time of severe fiscal restraint, it isn’t even funny.
