Former mayor calls new city hall waste of cash Amy Reid

CITY CENTRE — Surrey’s former mayor says the glitzy new city hall is “wasted taxpayers’ money.” Doug McCallum poked his head into the city’s inaugural council meeting at the new building on March 31 – and said he did so by accident. “I was in a meeting nearby, and I thought I’d drop by,” McCallum said as he looked around the room. “It’s a nice council chambers.” But those words Doug McCallum were quickly followed by critique of the spending it took to build the new site. “I don’t agree with it. I don’t agree with moving it and the costs associated with it. I think it’s going to show up in hurting the community in some places, as far as being able to build city facilities, because all the money’s been spent here,” he said. “When I was involved in council there was often talk (of building a new hall), but we said no.” To date, the city has stated the new hall would cost $97 million, but residents have questioned how much it will cost after financing. The interest generated over 25 years is expected to be around $48 million, but Vivienne Wilke, general manager of finance and technology, claims taxpayers won’t pay a dime on that.
