Grammar question

<p>One result of the new contract is that fire department can no longer offer overtime pay on weekends. </p>

<p>Is the grammatically correct? One result is <insert phrase="">. Don't you need a noun instead of the phrase? One result is THIS or THAT.</insert></p>

<p>I think "that" makes it ok, but shouldn't it be "the" fire department?</p>

<p>i left "the" out by accident.</p>

<p>^^I was thinking the same thing.</p>

<p>An example of a sentence that i think is better is: AS A result of the new contract, the fire department can no longer offer overtime pay on weekends.</p>

<p>another:</p>

<p>Unfortunately, the opening of the new library complex, (previously) (scheduled for) next September, (would be) delayed for several months (because of) construction difficulties. (No error.) </p>

<p>the error is would be. but couldn't "has been" and "will be", although complete different in meaning, be suitable replacements?</p>

<p>Yes I believe so. </p>

<p>For the 1st sentence, I think that allows the sentence to be grammatically correct, but I would appreciate it if someone could elucidate how "is that" is used in a sentence. </p>

<p>I think that sentence can also be arranged as "One result of the new contract is the fire department's no longer offering overtime pay on the weekends."</p>
