Here's the conclusions from the motions from the FEDCO meeting (in bold) as far as I can understand.

Here are the motions in simpler langue (if it passed).
- Better financial oversight by the City (unsure yet); - Passed
- Increase share for affordable housing from the air rights, from $9.75 million to $22.75 million (Passed); - Forwarded to the Council Meeting on November 7
- Staff provide update by Q1 2026 on actions being pursued to improve pedestrian experience on Aberdeen Square (unsure yet); - Passed
- Give us a guarantee that the RedBlacks and 67s will stick around until the end of the agreement in 2075 (amended to 2042 and Passed); - Passed
- Direct staff to collaborate with the Moving Surfaces artist to restore and reinstate the art piece (unsure yet); - Passed
- Additional bus shelter on Bank near Exhibition Way by 2026 (unsure yet); - Passed
- Shuttle service be provided for all events, improve transit on Bank for events and offer promotional rates for the 6 and 7 routes during events. (unsure yet) - Forwarded to the Council Meeting on November 7 as analysis of potential transit improvements
Leiper also had a solid motion.
- Increase MAT contribution from $2 million to 40%, thus increasing the amount over time as the MAT brings in more through increased tourism and inflation (unsure yet). - Passed with more clarity that 40% of the 1% increase of the Municipal Accommodation Tax

Leiper's motion might be what makes the business case and financial plan actually work.
