Administrative Inquiry: Councillor Farkas

Administrative Inquiry: Councillor Farkas 

When governments borrow debt, it is often through bonds that get rolled over again and again without ever paying the principal. My inquiry is regarding the debt that was borrowed for the 1988 Olympics and debt that will be borrowed for the 2026 Olympics (if Calgary were to proceed to hosting). 

1) How much debt was borrowed by the city to pay for the 1988 Olympics?

2) Were the 1988 funds repaid in full by today? What was the timetable of debt repayment?

3) How much has been spent in interest costs on the 1988 debt that was borrowed?

4) What would be the repayment schedule for funds borrowed for the 2026 Olympics? What would be the property tax impact be for a median residential and non-residential property?
