"Last budget cycle, all parties voted for the capital plan, which is how we continually upgrade city hall," the mayor said. On Thursday, Stewart announced he had asked the city manager to review the purchases. The $316,800 worth of furniture was purchased as part of a $2.6 million renovation of parts of the second floor of city hall, spending that was approved in December in the city's capital budget. Staff working for the City of Vancouver spent more than $300,000 on office furniture between January and May, a period that coincided with the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and dire warnings from Mayor Kennedy Stewart about the city's finances.
