The Rural Municipality of Dauphin stated on Tuesday that it will terminate its current Dauphin Recreation Services funding agreement with the city at the end of this year, unless a new agreement can be reached that they say pulls away from the previous per-capita model, and reaches "an agreement that benefits both municipalities".
"We are having a regular council meeting on Monday where we will discuss (the R-M announcement)." says City of Dauphin Mayor David Bosiak when reached by CKDM News Now for reaction. "Then we will have a formal statement on Tuesday, mostly to clarify what was in their news release and to give our side of the story and fill in some of the blanks that were missing."
Bosiak is still hopeful that a new agreement can be reached.
"On behalf of all of the residents of the City, I think a partnership is always better, But if they have made a decision that they do not want to participate, then I can not change that. We have had the discussion with them for 18 months now, and they have made a decision."
