1
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Good morning everyone and welcome to the April 25th regular meeting of council, Madam Clerk, if we can have a roll call, please.

2
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,000

Councillor Corraw.

8
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000
I'm here.

9
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Councillor Schibou.

10
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Present.

11
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Councillor Chu.

12
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Here.

13
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,000
Councillor Domingue.

14
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Here. Councillor Dolly Wall.

15
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Here.

16
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Councillor McLean.

17
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Here. Councillor Mean.

18
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Here. Councillor Panner.

19
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Here. And American conduct.

20
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000
I'm here. Thank you Mayor.

21
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Thank you.

22
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000
I'm going to turn it over to my colleague.

23
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Councillor Dolly Wall for the land acknowledgement today.

24
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Thank you Mayor.

25
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:27,000
As we come together from around the city, I would like to acknowledge that Calvary is a place of confluence.

26
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:35,000
The Calvary, where the Boe and Alburovers meet is a place of convergence, where the sharing of ideas and opportunities naturally come together.

27
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:41,000
I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge that we are gathered on the traditional territory of the Blackfoot,

28
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,000
which includes the Cixica, the Piccani, the Canai, First Nations,

29
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:52,000
the Ithica, Stony Nakoda, including Chinakiperspa, and Good Stony First Nations, and Stutina First Nations.

30
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:57,000
The city of Calvary is also the traditional homeland of the historic Northwest Medi.

31
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:05,000
And as home to Medi Nation of Alberta Region 3, we also acknowledge all indigenous urban Calvaryans who call this place their home.

32
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Thank you.

33
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Thank you very much, Councillor.

34
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000
And we have a couple of acknowledgments today.

35
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:19,000
We are first acknowledging that National Day of Morning is observed each year on April 28th to remember those who lost their lives,

36
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
or suffered an injury or illness due to their work.

37
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:30,000
In 1991, the Parliament of Canada passed the Workers' Morning Day Act, making April 28th an official day of morning.

38
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Now observed internationally.

39
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000
The day of morning began here right here in Canada.

40
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,000
The most recent statistics from the Association of the Workers' Compensation Boards of Canada,

41
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:47,000
tells us that in 2021, 1,081 workplace fatalities were recorded in the country.

42
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,000
1,099 were male workers and 72 were female workers.

43
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:56,000
And among those, 18 were young workers between the ages of 15 to 24.

44
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:04,000
As of December 6th of 2021, Alberta had the highest number of injury related fatalities in Canada at 85.

45
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:14,000
With each worker tragedy, there are loved ones, family members, friends and co-workers who are directly affected, left behind and impacted.

46
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Their lives are changed forever.

47
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:23,000
We also remember those workers who have lost their lives to COVID-19 and we comfort people that were affected by these losses.

48
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:33,000
We encourage organizations, communities and individuals to hold or support an event or to simply observe a moment of silence at 11am on April 28th

49
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,000
to remember those lost or who have been injured.

50
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,000
And please, let's make sure that we are all striving for workplace safety.

51
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Every worker has the right to return home safe and sound at the end of each work day.

52
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Our second acknowledgement today recognizes that May 5th is Red Dress Day.

53
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,000
It's the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

54
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:03,000
In the Calgary area of this day is known as the National Day of Awareness of Missing Murdered and Exploded Indigenous People.

55
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:11,000
It's been four years since the release of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls' final report and it's calls to justice.

56
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Yet, the violence and loss continues.

57
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:22,000
On this day, we remember the Indigenous victims, survivors and families who have suffered this ongoing national tragedy.

58
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:30,000
We must do everything we can to facilitate Indigenous and family-led solutions for healing and for justice.

59
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Recent histories marked by Indian residential schools, structural racial discrimination and resulting intergenerational trauma have led to our current crises of missing, murdered and exploited Indigenous women and girls.

60
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Because of the continuing effects of the Indian Act, Indigenous women face insecurities related to housing, health, employment and access to services both on and off the reserve, making them more vulnerable to violence.

61
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Indigenous women are at a greater risk of being assaulted by an intimate partner and are equally at risk of being assaulted by a stranger.

62
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:13,000
This is a clear indication of the racist and sexist underpinnings of violence against Indigenous women.

63
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:20,000
This year, Calyze, the United Nations Special Repertoire on the Rights of Indigenous People's Visited Canada.

64
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,000
On his final day, he delivered remarks regarding what he had experienced.

65
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,000
He noted that, and I quote,

66
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,000
In spite of the reports of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples,

67
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Truth and Reconciliation Commission calls to action and missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls calls for justice.

68
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:45,000
The number of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls continues to increase.

69
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:52,000
It is imperative that Canada worked to implement the missing and murdered women and girls final reports calls to justice.

70
00:09:52,000 --> 00:10:00,000
We all must take action to address the systemic causes of violence and ensure that we increase the safety of Indigenous people.

71
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:07,000
On the 5th of May, please take some time to commemorate missing, murdered and exploited Indigenous people and their families.

72
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:21,000
And I would ask you now to take a moment with me to remember that this violence continues and we all must stand together to end all forms of violence against Indigenous women, girls and two spirit people and find justice.

73
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Please take a moment with me.

74
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Thank you very much, everyone.

75
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:41,000
With that, we are moving into question period and I have three folks at the top of the list.

76
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,000
It'll be Councilor Penner, followed by Councilor Wynis and then Councilor Mian.

77
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Councilor Peter, please go ahead.

78
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Well, good morning.

79
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:57,000
As many of you know, we've started sweeping the streets and we are getting questions from citizens about how long it is taking.

80
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:02,000
And so my question for administration is having launched the program on April 17.

81
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
How's the program plan for this year?

82
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,000
How does it compare to previous years with respect to budget duration of the program?

83
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,000
And how do we manage for equipment and community growth?

84
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,000
And how does that compare perhaps to other jurisdictions?

85
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Thank you for the question.

86
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Indeed, spring cleaning started April 17th.

87
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,000
We expect the plan this year to be about nine weeks.

88
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,000
That's pretty typical.

89
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,000
It can range from 8 to 11 weeks over the past 10 years.

90
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,000
That program is pretty popular with Calgaryens.

91
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,000
We have about a 90% citizen satisfaction rate.

92
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,000
We deliver that program with 10 million dollars of funding.

93
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:43,000
And we do inventive things like making sure we sweep the streets during regular hours.

94
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,000
So that when folks come home from work, they have their spot back.

95
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,000
And that they don't have to get up to early in order for us to do the street sweeping.

96
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:57,000
We also use the same equipment and workforce that we do for.

97
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000
So an ice control, pot-hole repair and construction.

98
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,000
So they seamlessly flow between the different functions throughout the year.

99
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:11,000
As far as benchmarking, when we compare to Edmonton, the city of Edmonton does about 1,500 kilometres per week.

100
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,000
For Calgary, we're about at 1,830 kilometres per week.

101
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000
So quite a bit more productivity.

102
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,000
And when we look at benchmarking over time, we do our street cleaning with 10 million dollars.

103
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000
That's 1 million less than in 2016, even with City Grove.

104
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,000
So the team is really looking at innovations and how we provide the service and work hard to get it cleaned up.

105
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,000
As soon as possible, so we can get into summer.

106
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Thank you very much.

107
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Thank you.

108
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:49,000
So transit operators are working in a trauma-confair belt, where we ask them to go to work every day, where they are experiencing violence threats

109
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,000
and second-hand smoke from drug use on our transit system.

110
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,000
This is leading to short and long-term disability of our transit operators.

111
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Where we then just replace that person with another person to experience the same trauma that that

112
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,000
operator had to go on long-term or short-term disability with.

113
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:13,000
What are we doing to stop violence and trauma for our transit operators that they are experiencing

114
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:21,000
and do the current bylaws and laws to stop smoking in and around transit and public spaces

115
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:27,000
as well as businesses not apply to drug use?

116
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Thank you for the question.

117
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:35,000
The safety of all of our staff is of utmost importance and even one of staff is off.

118
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,000
We do more than just replace them for service.

119
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,000
We have a lot of programs to help them with rehabilitation, but we can always do more.

120
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,000
So we are aware across Canada that this is an issue.

121
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:51,000
During the pandemic, we did some inventive things where we installed driver shields for operator

122
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:57,000
in about a year's time at about $800 per shield, so quite a bit of innovation.

123
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,000
But again, there's more to do and there's things happening on our system we're concerned with.

124
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:09,000
So we are opening a dialogue with the local ETU union to have that discussion and also constantly interact

125
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
with other employees to see what other things we can do.

126
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:17,000
We're also connected to the Canadian Urban Transit Association across Canada to make sure we understand

127
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:23,000
what other jurisdictions are doing to transfer best practices as well as discussions

128
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,000
with both federal and provincial governments on this issue and trying to push the issue forward.

129
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:33,000
But we continue to work on it and work with our security partners with additional resources

130
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:41,000
from peace officers to police officers to make sure we're serving not just our staff but customers safely.

131
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Thank you very much.

132
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Thank you Mayor.

133
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Mr Morgan here, I'm a popular gentleman this morning, so Calgary is home to many dogs and dog lovers

134
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,000
who want to be responsible for their pet and the planet.

135
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Despite citizen efforts to use compostable bags, many Calgaryens are confused.

136
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,440
Just about advertising for pet waste bags that say words like green or biodegradable, but aren't actually

137
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:10,640
compostable in the city system. And further to that, most city parks do not offer compost bins.

138
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,480
What can the city do to help Calgaryen's make better composting decisions in our parks?

139
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:21,520
Thank you for the question. Indeed, we've heard a lot from Calgaryens, and even from Councillors about

140
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:27,840
this issue. So we have a pilot that we rolled out this year at two parks, Tom Campbell's Hill,

141
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:34,800
and Queen's Park Village in Ward 4 and 9. To test out the bags that we get through that collection.

142
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:40,640
So modified green bins are at those parks, and we're asking Calgaryens to use them so we can evaluate

143
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:46,720
what bags we're getting and whether they can be composted. But that's not where it stops.

144
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:53,280
We're also engaged with some partners being the youth central youth volunteer organization to

145
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:58,800
head out to stores that sell bags and make sure we have tags on each of those bags to let Calgaryens know

146
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:04,320
what's compostable and what's biodegradable to see if we can change that behavior and actually

147
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,880
divert more of the pet waste from the green bins or from the black bins and into green bins

148
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:14,320
and into the compost. So we'll be distributing those as well as the parks and basters will be out in

149
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:20,080
the parks, a Roman and Calgaryens of which bags to use and how to make sure that we compost their waste.

150
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:21,280
Thank you.

151
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:28,880
Thank you very much. We will move on to confirmation of the agenda. Can I get a mover for the

152
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:35,920
agenda please? Councilor Me in seconder? Councillor Petter. Thank you. Madam Clerk I will go to you

153
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,720
because there's some changes on the agenda and let's clarify which item is coming in which order.

154
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:46,240
Thank you. Thank you, Mayor. You're right. We do have a number of procedural amendments to today's

155
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:52,880
agenda. We'll put those up on the screen for members of council in just one moment. The first item

156
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:59,280
that is to be added to today's agenda are three individual items of urgent business. The first one

157
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:06,720
being the city of Calgary 2022 annual financial report and that item is to be dealt with following

158
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:13,120
item 12.2.3 meaning this will be after the closed session. The second item of urgent business is

159
00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:21,040
item 11.2 and that is the external auditor 2022 year end report and that item is to be dealt with

160
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:26,720
following the annual financial report. The third item of urgent business to be added to today's

161
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:33,520
agenda is item 11.3 and that will be joint planning area context study in terms of reference for Calgary

162
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:40,000
Metropolitan Region Board. In addition to those items of urgent business, there's two more items to

163
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:47,840
be set as time specific. The first one is item 9.3.8 and that is a notice of motion enhancing investment

164
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:53,680
and mobility infrastructure through the seasonal operational savings and that item has been requested

165
00:17:53,680 --> 00:18:00,240
to be dealt with following the dinner recess. The next time specific item is item 9.3.9 and a notice of

166
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:06,240
motion reinvest on street parking revenue for street services and that is to be dealt with following

167
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:15,280
item 9.3.2. And then lastly, there is a request to update item 10.2.1 which is the Calgary Airport

168
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:21,760
Authority Annual Presentation to be dealt with at 4 p.m. today as a time specific item. So those are

169
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:26,560
all the changes to today's agenda and mayer if you would like it be happy to go over the procedures

170
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:36,160
for the remaining items afterwards. Okay, and I will also clarify that item 12.2.2 and 12.2.3 will be the

171
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:44,080
first items that we go to after we get through consent. That's correct. And we will be suspending

172
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:50,240
procedure by law around breaks today to make sure that we can have breaks to the call of the

173
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:55,520
chair as we have many items to get through and we have special guests at lunch. So that is something

174
00:18:55,520 --> 00:19:00,800
that we will do as we approach the break times. I also want to clarify that the urgent items of

175
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,680
business that are being added. The two financial reports as well as the one report from intergovernmental

176
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:11,120
affairs. Those are all time sensitive. I want to make a clarification that the items that are

177
00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:16,560
being brought by CFO male. They come at this time every year. What happens every year, though, is we

178
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:22,320
have to call a special meeting of council because we miss that period of time between audit committee

179
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,560
and the approvals having to be done. This year we are fortunate that we can do it as part of the council

180
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:31,120
meeting. So that's why those are coming and there's appointments that must be made in relation to

181
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:37,440
the governmental affairs and that is something that we were granted an extension on and we need to get

182
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,800
through at this meeting. So that's the rationale. I see we have a question from councilor

183
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:49,680
Puppence. The move the item version. It's been moved on seconded councilor Puppence.

184
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:55,040
That was for the consent agenda. Does this second part added by Clarice need to be moved as well?

185
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,680
This would be the agenda as amended. Is that correct, Madam Clark or do we need an amendment?

186
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,760
Thank you, Mayor. We need an amendment for the agenda. Okay. So councilor Puppence will be moving

187
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:09,520
us who would like to second it. Councilor Demong. Thank you very much. I don't see anybody

188
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:15,600
wishing to debate. This, can I just do a voiceful, Madam Clark? Yes, please. Is there anyone

189
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:26,160
opposed to the amendment? Seeing and hearing none, that is carried. Going back to the agenda as

190
00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:31,440
amended. We have a mover. We have a seconder. Madam Clark, do we need to do anything else on that?

191
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:38,560
Just a vote on that item, please. All right, was vote. Is there anyone opposed to the agenda as amended?

192
00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:50,560
Seeing and hearing none, that is carried. We will go to confirmation of the minutes.

193
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:56,160
Councilor Shibou. Yeah, I happy to report your worship that my eyes have improved enough that I'm

194
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,960
able to read through things in detail and I saw no errors or missions and have to move

195
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:07,600
all four sets unless somebody saw something I did. Thank you very much. I would like to second that.

196
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:14,160
Councilor Shibou. Thank you very much. I'll just do a voice vote on the minutes. Is there anyone opposed to the

197
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:24,480
minutes? Seeing and hearing none, those are carried which brings us to the consent agenda. Can I get a mover,

198
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:32,960
please? Councilor Tallywell, seconded by Councillor Wong. Does anyone have anything on the consent agenda?

199
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:45,280
Councillor. Councillor Shibou, are you on the consent agenda? Yeah, please go ahead. I believe my self

200
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:52,240
and Councillor Claymore would like to pull the same item 7.4. 7.4? 7.4? Okay.

201
00:21:54,560 --> 00:22:00,080
Can I go to Councillor McLean? Yeah, I should vote just to pull that out. I was going to pull so.

202
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:05,280
Good. Thank you. If I can ask, is it just to vote against or do you have questions?

203
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,400
Just to vote against. Just to vote against? Okay, great. That'll make it easy.

204
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:22,560
I will now go to Councillor Chu, please. Thank you, Councillor. The poll 7.9 to vote against. Thank you.

205
00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:30,240
Perfect. So that's just to vote against. So when those items come up after regular item,

206
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:35,440
there's a section when they come up. These are just to be straight votes. There's no discussion on

207
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:44,640
these. Thank you for clarifying that everyone. So on the consent agenda as amended. Madam clerk,

208
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:51,680
can I just do a voice vote? Yes, please. All right. Is there anyone opposed to the consent agenda as amended?

209
00:22:53,520 --> 00:23:00,080
Seeing and hearing none, that is carried. Now, I have a very important job to do here to

210
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:06,880
introduce you to some special guests. We can see them in the audience with us. This is Buchanan School

211
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:12,160
everyone. Teachers name is Alex Gilbert. I had the pleasure of hanging out with these fine folks yesterday

212
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:17,200
for about 50 minutes. It's a great group of students, great volunteers, great teacher. And the big

213
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:23,360
question they're asking is what can we do to protect and promote urban nature in our city?

214
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,240
And I think you're going to be going out in about on a walk or two to get in touch with nature. Is that right?

215
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:34,640
Yeah. Awesome. Okay. Well, thank you for being here with us today. And please stand so we can

216
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:46,880
congratulate you for being here. Thank you very much for coming. You're representing your

217
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:54,240
school very well. All right. We can get to the regular items on the agenda now. Madam clerk is that correct?

218
00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:02,800
The first items on today's agenda will be the motion to move into closed for items 12.2.2 and 12.2.3.

219
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,960
Excellent. If we can get that motion brought up, please.

220
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:12,720
Council's sharp is going to move that. Can I get a seconder? Councilor Mian, thank you very much.

221
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:21,040
Council, you have the motion before you to move into closed session for these two items.

222
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,280
I will ask you to go to eScribe to vote, please.

223
00:24:42,720 --> 00:25:12,640
Thank you, Mayor Gondick. It's just been brought up.

224
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:18,080
My attention that not all the external members that are being invited to this meeting have been

225
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:22,800
included in the motion. If I could please ask you to cancel that vote, we'll add the additional

226
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,920
names and we will recaster. Okay. I will declare that that vote is canceled. There are some

227
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:34,640
emissions in the names that must be included. We will remedy that right now. Thanks for catching that.

228
00:25:43,680 --> 00:26:02,720
Mayor Gondick, the vote has been recast. Everyone, you can see what the changes are on screen before

229
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:12,720
you please go to eScribe to vote.

230

231
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:30,160
Yes. Thank you.

232
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:41,600
Mayor Gondick, all the votes are in. Could you display the results, please?

233
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:48,480
That's carried unanimously. Madam Clerk, you have a request to speak. One last item, Mayor,

234
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:53,360
and just a reminder to look for general consent to modify the recestives. Okay.

235
00:26:53,440 --> 00:27:00,400
Do I have general consent, as I mentioned earlier, to modify recestives, everyone? Is anyone

236
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:09,200
opposed to that? All right. Thank you very much. That is carried. We will go into close session

237
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:14,000

I'm here. Thank you, mair.

320
03:50:38,000 --> 03:50:39,000
All right, everyone.

321
03:50:39,000 --> 03:50:42,000
We are moving on to timed business.

322
03:50:42,000 --> 03:50:44,000
That was brought to us as urgent business.

323
03:50:44,000 --> 03:50:45,000
It will be CFO mail.

324
03:50:45,000 --> 03:50:49,000
And her team presenting two items sort of concurrently.

325
03:50:49,000 --> 03:50:52,000
11.1 is the annual financial report.

326
03:50:52,000 --> 03:50:57,000
And 11.2 is the external auditor 2022 year and report.

327
03:50:57,000 --> 03:51:00,000
So whenever you are ready, please go ahead.

328
03:51:00,000 --> 03:51:01,000
Thank you.

329
03:51:01,000 --> 03:51:04,000
I have a couple of opening comments and then

330
03:51:04,000 --> 03:51:09,000
if council so wishes we can present the same presentation

331
03:51:09,000 --> 03:51:12,000
that we made at audit committee.

332
03:51:12,000 --> 03:51:16,000
So you have in your package the annual financial report.

333
03:51:16,000 --> 03:51:18,000
And it is part of the city's commitment.

334
03:51:18,000 --> 03:51:20,000
Sorry, I should be standing.

335
03:51:20,000 --> 03:51:21,000
One second.

336
03:51:21,000 --> 03:51:24,000
Part of the city's commitment to providing effective governance

337
03:51:24,000 --> 03:51:29,000
increased accountability, transparency, and a well-run city.

338
03:51:29,000 --> 03:51:33,000
This year's report provides a comprehensive view of the 2022

339
03:51:33,000 --> 03:51:35,000
consolidated financial statements,

340
03:51:35,000 --> 03:51:38,000
highlighting the city's commitment to prudent cost

341
03:51:38,000 --> 03:51:42,000
management savings and positive operating cash flows.

342
03:51:42,000 --> 03:51:46,000
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with

343
03:51:46,000 --> 03:51:50,000
principles and standards established by the public sector accounting board

344
03:51:50,000 --> 03:51:54,000
of chartered professional accountants of Canada.

345
03:51:54,000 --> 03:51:58,000
The city expects to receive an unmodified audit opinion from the

346
03:51:58,000 --> 03:52:01,000
external auditor Deloite LLP.

347
03:52:01,000 --> 03:52:06,000
This means the consolidated 2022 financial statements are presented fairly

348
03:52:06,000 --> 03:52:08,000
in all material respects.

349
03:52:08,000 --> 03:52:12,000
In accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

350
03:52:12,000 --> 03:52:15,000
Throughout 2022, the city demonstrated resilience

351
03:52:15,000 --> 03:52:21,000
and remained focused on supporting calgarians and its ongoing economic recovery.

352
03:52:21,000 --> 03:52:25,000
The city continued assisting calgarians in need, ensuring delivery

353
03:52:25,000 --> 03:52:29,000
of essential services without interruptions, making strategic

354
03:52:29,000 --> 03:52:32,000
investment in infrastructure and supporting business opportunities

355
03:52:32,000 --> 03:52:35,000
and financial sustainability.

356
03:52:35,000 --> 03:52:41,000
I wish to thank our external auditor Deloite and especially Harman Gill, the partner,

357
03:52:41,000 --> 03:52:44,000
and their field staff for their independent audit work.

358
03:52:44,000 --> 03:52:47,000
I'd also like to thank Administration and the Finance staff for their

359
03:52:47,000 --> 03:52:53,000
hard work and dedication required to produce this annual financial report.

360
03:52:53,000 --> 03:52:58,000
Please note that the final published version of the 2022 annual financial report

361
03:52:58,000 --> 03:53:03,000
may include very minor presentation changes that might be identified

362
03:53:03,000 --> 03:53:07,000
subsequent to providing the version that you have that was the package

363
03:53:07,000 --> 03:53:10,000
to audit committee and those are my opening remarks.

364
03:53:10,000 --> 03:53:15,000
If you would like, we could offer the presentation that we made at audit committee.

365
03:53:15,000 --> 03:53:22,000
Thank you. I look to Council just to see if there is a request for a presentation.

366
03:53:22,000 --> 03:53:24,000
I'm not seeing any.

367
03:53:24,000 --> 03:53:30,000
I will move to Councillor Putman's then to open unless there's any questions.

368
03:53:30,000 --> 03:53:33,000
Is there any questions before that?

369
03:53:33,000 --> 03:53:36,000
Just give a moment, misseeming there isn't.

370
03:53:36,000 --> 03:53:39,000
Calgo to you, Councillor Putman's.

371
03:53:39,000 --> 03:53:42,000
Thank you, Chair. I'd be honored to move this. Thank you very much.

372
03:53:42,000 --> 03:53:46,000
If I may. At point of perhaps we've recognized the year so go about it to repeat

373
03:53:46,000 --> 03:53:50,000
the award you won. Congratulations to the you and the Finance team.

374
03:53:50,000 --> 03:53:53,000
I'm being awarded the Government Finance Officer's Association Canadian Award

375
03:53:53,000 --> 03:53:55,000
for Financial Reporting.

376
03:53:55,000 --> 03:53:58,000
I wish I could give you a big kind of applause.

377
03:53:58,000 --> 03:54:05,000
And with that moved.

378
03:54:05,000 --> 03:54:06,000
Thank you.

379
03:54:06,000 --> 03:54:10,000
Do we are going to move them and second them together as one clerks?

380
03:54:10,000 --> 03:54:12,000
I'll do it independently.

381
03:54:12,000 --> 03:54:13,000
I'll do it independently.

382
03:54:13,000 --> 03:54:18,000
We'll start with a seven point or 11.1.

383
03:54:18,000 --> 03:54:19,000
11.1.

384
03:54:19,000 --> 03:54:21,000
And do you want to second that? Councillor Spencer?

385
03:54:21,000 --> 03:54:22,000
Okay, great.

386
03:54:22,000 --> 03:54:24,000
And then we'll move to E-Sprim.

387
03:54:24,000 --> 03:54:25,000
E-Sprim.

388
03:54:25,000 --> 03:54:26,000
E-Sprim.

389
03:54:26,000 --> 03:54:28,000
E-Sprim.

390
03:54:28,000 --> 03:54:30,000
Can the mayor vote?

391
03:54:30,000 --> 03:54:37,000
Okay, she was just, she just was lingering in the background.

392
03:54:37,000 --> 03:54:38,000
I wanted to clarify.

393
03:54:38,000 --> 03:54:40,000
Clarefication.

394
03:55:07,000 --> 03:55:13,000
Councillor Croyer, vote, please.

395
03:55:13,000 --> 03:55:14,000
Thank you.

396
03:55:14,000 --> 03:55:16,000
Councillor Penner, your vote, please.

397
03:55:16,000 --> 03:55:17,000
Yeah.

398
03:55:17,000 --> 03:55:19,000
Thank you.

399
03:55:19,000 --> 03:55:21,000
Mayor Gondick, all the votes are in.

400
03:55:21,000 --> 03:55:26,000
Could you display the results, please?

401
03:55:26,000 --> 03:55:28,000
That's carried unanimously.

402
03:55:28,000 --> 03:55:35,000
That takes us to the next item, which is 11.2.

403
03:55:35,000 --> 03:55:38,000
And it is the same mover and seconder as a correct.

404
03:55:38,000 --> 03:55:39,000
Yes, please.

405
03:55:39,000 --> 03:55:40,000
All right.

406
03:55:40,000 --> 03:55:41,000
Thank you.

407
03:55:41,000 --> 03:55:44,000
I don't see anybody in the queue.

408
03:55:44,000 --> 03:55:47,000
So we can go to E-Sprim to vote.

409
03:55:58,000 --> 03:56:00,000
Mayor Gondick, all the votes are in.

410
03:56:00,000 --> 03:56:03,000
Could you display the results, please?

411
03:56:05,000 --> 03:56:10,000
That is carried unanimously as well.

412
03:56:10,000 --> 03:56:14,000
Thank you very much for those two reports.

413
03:56:14,000 --> 03:56:15,000
All right.

414
03:56:15,000 --> 03:56:17,000
Now we're going to go way back.

415
03:56:17,000 --> 03:56:19,000
Madam Clerk, which item are we?

416
03:56:19,000 --> 03:56:26,000
It is item 9.2.1, which is public member appointments to the Calgary Aboriginal Urban Affairs Committee.

417
03:56:26,000 --> 03:56:33,000
We do not have a formal presentation, but Deputy City Clerk Jeremy Fraser is here to answer any questions that Council might have about the appointment.

418
03:56:33,000 --> 03:56:34,000
Okay.

419
03:56:34,000 --> 03:56:37,000
So Council, this is a pretty straightforward process.

420
03:56:37,000 --> 03:56:41,000
Does anybody need to go into closed session on this item at all?

421
03:56:41,000 --> 03:56:42,000
Okay.

422
03:56:42,000 --> 03:56:46,000
With no need to do so, can I get a mover, please?

423
03:56:46,000 --> 03:56:48,000
Councillor Shibhol, seconded by Councillor Spencer.

424
03:56:48,000 --> 03:56:51,000
Thank you very much.

425
03:56:51,000 --> 03:56:54,000
I don't see anybody in the queue.

426
03:56:54,000 --> 03:56:56,000
Do you have anything you wish to add?

427
03:56:56,000 --> 03:56:58,000
Councillor Shibhol, where are we going to go?

428
03:56:58,000 --> 03:56:59,000
No.

429
03:56:59,000 --> 03:57:02,000
I'm not really personally.

430
03:57:02,000 --> 03:57:05,000
I think I'm happy to support the recommendation as before.

431
03:57:05,000 --> 03:57:07,000
So what do I have to say?

432
03:57:07,000 --> 03:57:08,000
Okay.

433
03:57:08,000 --> 03:57:09,000
Thank you.

434
03:57:09,000 --> 03:57:10,000
All right, everyone.

435
03:57:10,000 --> 03:57:12,000
Eescribe to vote, please.

436
03:57:20,000 --> 03:57:22,000
Mayor Gondick, all the votes are in.

437
03:57:22,000 --> 03:57:25,000
Could you display the results, please?

438
03:57:25,000 --> 03:57:29,000
That is carried unanimously.

439
03:57:29,000 --> 03:57:34,000
That takes us to our next item of business, which is 9.2.2.

440
03:57:34,000 --> 03:57:38,000
This is the same sort of situation, Madam Clerk.

441
03:57:38,000 --> 03:57:39,000
Very similar, Mayor Gondick.

442
03:57:39,000 --> 03:57:44,000
This is the 2023 Calgary Awards recipients for the WO Mitchell Book Prize.

443
03:57:44,000 --> 03:57:50,000
12 out of the 13 Calgary Awards recipients were ratified by Council and March.

444
03:57:50,000 --> 03:57:54,000
The final Calgary Award recipients to be ratified are presented with this report.

445
03:57:54,000 --> 03:57:59,000
No formal presentation, but Deputy City Clerk Jeremy Fraser is here to answer any questions.

446
03:57:59,000 --> 03:58:00,000
Fantastic.

447
03:58:00,000 --> 03:58:02,000
Councillor Penner, you'd like to move this one.

448
03:58:02,000 --> 03:58:04,000
Yeah, I'd love to move this item.

449
03:58:04,000 --> 03:58:08,000
I have been reading my way through all of the books on this list.

450
03:58:08,000 --> 03:58:13,000
So I am, be marginally open the attachment as a spoiler.

451
03:58:13,000 --> 03:58:15,000
But I won't spell it all for you.

452
03:58:15,000 --> 03:58:21,000
But as a lever of books and a lever of words, the, all of, I will just say this.

453
03:58:21,000 --> 03:58:24,000
All of the books that were nominated.

454
03:58:24,000 --> 03:58:28,000
I've, um, are absolutely fantastic and telemasing stories of Calgaryens.

455
03:58:28,000 --> 03:58:31,000
Um, and I would encourage more people to pick them up and read them.

456
03:58:31,000 --> 03:58:33,000
So with that moved.

457
03:58:33,000 --> 03:58:34,000
Thank you.

458
03:58:34,000 --> 03:58:36,000
Can I get a second or second or second for me?

459
03:58:36,000 --> 03:58:38,000
Thank you very much.

460
03:58:38,000 --> 03:58:40,000
I don't see anybody in the queue.

461
03:58:40,000 --> 03:58:41,000
Do you have anything to add Mr Fraser?

462
03:58:41,000 --> 03:58:42,000
I noticed you come up.

463
03:58:42,000 --> 03:58:43,000
Mayor Gondick.

464
03:58:43,000 --> 03:58:46,000
I just wanted to, if I may just indulge me for a moment.

465
03:58:46,000 --> 03:58:50,000
I just wanted to just make a quick thank you to the writer's guild of Alberta for their

466
03:58:50,000 --> 03:58:53,000
partnership on supporting this award.

467
03:58:53,000 --> 03:58:57,000
And particularly, I want to thank the jury members, Christina Reynolds, Catherine of Bass,

468
03:58:57,000 --> 03:59:02,000
and Ashley Allen for all the hard work they did to vet the finalists.

469
03:59:02,000 --> 03:59:04,000
Thank you very much for that.

470
03:59:04,000 --> 03:59:09,000
Um, and does anyone need to go into closed session on this one?

471
03:59:09,000 --> 03:59:10,000
All right.

472
03:59:10,000 --> 03:59:11,000
Seeing and hearing none.

473
03:59:11,000 --> 03:59:13,000
Anything to close accounts for better?

474
03:59:13,000 --> 03:59:14,000
Great.

475
03:59:14,000 --> 03:59:15,000
Let's go to the vote on eScribe.

476
03:59:15,000 --> 03:59:16,000
Please.

477
03:59:20,000 --> 03:59:25,000
Mayor Gondick, all the votes are in.

478
03:59:25,000 --> 03:59:31,000
Could you display the results, please?

479
03:59:31,000 --> 03:59:33,000
That is carried unanimously.

480
03:59:33,000 --> 03:59:38,000
We are on to item 9.2.3.

481
03:59:38,000 --> 03:59:40,000
Thank you, Mayor Gondick.

482
03:59:40,000 --> 03:59:44,000
On this item, amendments to the procedure by law and councillors budgets and expenses by law.

483
03:59:44,000 --> 03:59:47,000
We do have a brief presentation for council.

484
03:59:47,000 --> 03:59:52,000
If one would be suitable, due to the nature of the technical amendments that we have prepared

485
04:00:00,000 --> 04:00:11,600
Thank you, Mayor and Council. I will just try to go through this presentation, understanding

486
04:00:11,600 --> 04:00:15,840
is a busy day. I'll try to go through this as quickly as possible, but we did want to take a moment

487
04:00:15,840 --> 04:00:19,680
to highlight some of the changes that are being brought forward. Next slide, please.

488
04:00:19,680 --> 04:00:25,200
A recommendation is that Council amend the procedure bylaw and the Council's budgets and expenses bylaw

489
04:00:25,200 --> 04:00:31,760
by giving three readings to the proposed by law 20m, 2023, set up an attachment one. Next slide, please.

490
04:00:32,960 --> 04:00:39,200
So the proposed amendments that are before Council today are really spurred by a decision

491
04:00:39,920 --> 04:00:47,600
that Council made on report CSC 2023-088, and that was really to direct administration to prepare

492
04:00:48,080 --> 04:00:53,360
procedure bylaw amendments to delete a particular section of the Council Services Committee,

493
04:00:53,360 --> 04:00:59,120
mandate, and powers with respect to award community of end fund applications, and report back to council

494
04:00:59,120 --> 04:01:05,760
no later than April 25. We had some other amendments to the procedure bylaw that we were working on at that time

495
04:01:05,760 --> 04:01:09,840
when we thought it had been stages to bring them forward together as one report for Council.

496
04:01:11,440 --> 04:01:17,360
Those include, excuse me, improving the alignment of the procedure bylaw with the change

497
04:01:17,360 --> 04:01:23,920
to the Municipal Government Act requirements for electronic meetings that were brought about last year

498
04:01:23,920 --> 04:01:31,440
in Bill 21, and also to make some improvements to the standard order of business for some council meeting types.

499
04:01:32,720 --> 04:01:40,240
As part of the overall changes to the work community event fund, also changes to the Council

500
04:01:40,240 --> 04:01:45,840
budgets and expenses bylaw just to make Council's responsibilities for making funding decisions

501
04:01:45,840 --> 04:01:50,800
on work community event fund applications clear in that bylaw. Next slide, please.

502
04:01:54,800 --> 04:02:00,080
And so this is really just highlighting those two changes with respect to the work community event fund.

503
04:02:00,080 --> 04:02:04,720
The Council Services Committee mandate would be changed to remove that, and then the Council

504
04:02:04,720 --> 04:02:10,080
budgets and expenses bylaw would be amended to clarify the Council's responsibilities

505
04:02:10,080 --> 04:02:12,560
for making those decisions. Next slide, please.

506
04:02:14,720 --> 04:02:19,280
There are a number of technical amendments to the procedure bylaw that are coming to light.

507
04:02:20,560 --> 04:02:24,480
The provincial government passed Bill 21, the Red Tape Reduction Statute to Member

508
04:02:24,480 --> 04:02:28,560
Act last year, and that brought about changes in the Municipal Government Act that

509
04:02:29,360 --> 04:02:35,360
determined how various procedure bylaws of various municipalities address electronic meetings.

510
04:02:36,080 --> 04:02:41,680
So some of the changes that have had to be incorporated into the procedure bylaw include defining the

511
04:02:41,680 --> 04:02:45,680
type or types of electronic means by which meetings are authorized to be held, for example,

512
04:02:45,680 --> 04:02:52,720
Microsoft Teams or phone bridges and that type of technology. In the amendments, the procedure bylaw

513
04:02:52,800 --> 04:02:58,800
we're proposing the city clerk becomes the responsible for determining the exact type or system

514
04:02:58,800 --> 04:03:04,640
used for remote participation. Also, the procedure bylaw has now a

515
04:03:05,040 --> 04:03:11,600
semines that allow for requiring the identity of each council or attending the meeting to be confirmed

516
04:03:12,400 --> 04:03:18,640
by various methods. So there's always a role called by voice that the city clerk can do or in close

517
04:03:18,640 --> 04:03:23,200
session, there's always the authority in the chair of the chair. Excuse me, through these

518
04:03:23,200 --> 04:03:28,960
amendments to request that members participating in close session turn on their cameras to participate

519
04:03:28,960 --> 04:03:36,240
in and identify themselves in the meeting. There are also a series of amendments of respecting

520
04:03:36,960 --> 04:03:42,160
the way in which members of the public can access meetings and make submissions and find out

521
04:03:42,160 --> 04:03:48,160
information about council meetings and those are we incorporated into the amendments,

522
04:03:48,800 --> 04:03:54,560
requirements for pre-registration and for members of the public and also ensuring they have

523
04:03:54,560 --> 04:03:59,280
access to phone throughout the dates that they can participate in council meetings. And of course,

524
04:03:59,280 --> 04:04:05,120
we always have and we've reiterated now through these amendments. The availability of information

525
04:04:05,200 --> 04:04:11,440
respecting council meetings on the city's website, whether that be noticing meetings or agendas.

526
04:04:12,560 --> 04:04:17,520
And then there's the variety of housekeeping amendments that really just clean up some references

527
04:04:17,520 --> 04:04:26,800
to the Municipal Government Act sections. Next slide, please. Excuse me. So there are also

528
04:04:26,800 --> 04:04:32,320
finally some order of business changes. So we're making some proposed amendments or it's a

529
04:04:32,320 --> 04:04:37,040
destined some proposed amendments to the procedure by law to allow for clear destinations for

530
04:04:37,040 --> 04:04:43,600
items that are pulled from consent on the in the standard order of business for council meetings and also

531
04:04:43,600 --> 04:04:51,520
allowing that where items are pulled from consent by members that they can be at the chair's discretion

532
04:04:51,520 --> 04:04:58,400
dealt with immediately following the omnibus motion for the consent agenda. In terms of recognitions,

533
04:04:58,400 --> 04:05:03,040
we are proposing the addition of erecting dissonance section to the public hearing standard order

534
04:05:03,040 --> 04:05:07,840
of business. Of course, we're using this meeting type more this year than we did in previous years.

535
04:05:07,840 --> 04:05:15,440
And we found that there have been a few isolated exceptions where having that section on the agenda

536
04:05:15,440 --> 04:05:21,920
would be advantageous. And finally, with respect to urgent business, we certainly heard from council

537
04:05:21,920 --> 04:05:26,480
that public hearing accessibility is a priority. And we of course continue to work on that in the

538
04:05:26,480 --> 04:05:31,920
city clerk's office. However, we do always recognize that there are exceptional circumstances where

539
04:05:31,920 --> 04:05:37,040
urgent business cannot wait. And so to avoid inconveniencing the public wherever possible,

540
04:05:37,600 --> 04:05:42,640
urgent business is being proposed to be placed on the public hearing meetings of council standard order

541
04:05:42,640 --> 04:05:49,920
of business after public hearings are concluded. Next slide, please. So that really wraps up the

542
04:05:49,920 --> 04:05:53,680
presentation and I'm happy to answer any questions about the post amendments.

543
04:05:54,640 --> 04:05:59,920
Thank you very much. I'm going to clarify a couple of things. I've got folks in the queue who

544
04:05:59,920 --> 04:06:03,280
wish to move in second. Councillor Wong, do you also have questions?

545
04:06:04,720 --> 04:06:09,120
Councillor Shabou, do you also have questions? Okay, thank you. Then I'm going to go to council

546
04:06:09,120 --> 04:06:16,160
sharp first, please. Sorry, I don't have questions. I have just some debate to support.

547
04:06:16,720 --> 04:06:21,120
My bad. Okay, don't worry. Councilor Spencer, is it debate or questions?

548
04:06:21,200 --> 04:06:25,680
Debate. Okay. Then let's turn to councilor Shabou to move the item, please. Thank you.

549
04:06:25,680 --> 04:06:30,560
Happy to introduce and move the recommendations. Thank you for those housekeeping amendments.

550
04:06:30,560 --> 04:06:33,840
I don't think there's something we really had much of a chance to discuss in advance,

551
04:06:33,840 --> 04:06:40,320
but all the other amendments we did get a chance to talk about, including the allocation of

552
04:06:40,320 --> 04:06:47,120
ward budgets or ward community event funds. That was primary genesis for this. I do believe

553
04:06:47,120 --> 04:06:53,200
council, ultimately, members of council make the decision. It should be them that makes final

554
04:06:53,200 --> 04:06:58,960
decision and not this community committee, so I support the recommendations. Again, thank you, Mr. Fraser,

555
04:06:58,960 --> 04:07:03,040
for all those additional textual amendments and happy to address any issues in my close.

556
04:07:04,320 --> 04:07:09,120
Thank you. The item is being seconded by Councillor Wong. I'll go to council sharp for debate.

557
04:07:09,840 --> 04:07:18,800
Thank you. I'm also very happy to support these. One of the things is that when you

558
04:07:18,800 --> 04:07:23,120
drafted the original lowest emotion for the council service committee, we looked at including the

559
04:07:23,120 --> 04:07:27,200
ward community event fund approvals because it's a function that previously belonged to the

560
04:07:27,200 --> 04:07:35,760
coordinator committee of the council's office. The process hadn't been totally updated, but especially

561
04:07:35,760 --> 04:07:42,400
that these are ward specific approvals. I think with the committee meeting orderly makes more

562
04:07:42,400 --> 04:07:47,760
sense for those people to be made by individual counselors themselves, I would say I think we've

563
04:07:47,760 --> 04:07:54,400
even kind of discussed this at committee was, we see issues. We can bring those forward, but right now,

564
04:07:54,400 --> 04:07:58,720
I think this is the direction to go, so I have no issues supporting these and all the other amendments.

565
04:07:58,720 --> 04:08:01,840
So, thank you so much. Thanks, Councillor Shibou for your leadership on this.

566
04:08:02,400 --> 04:08:05,120
Thank you, Councillor Spencer, please.

567
04:08:06,160 --> 04:08:11,040
Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted in a spirit of celebrate the things you want to see repeated. Thank you,

568
04:08:11,040 --> 04:08:17,360
colleagues, for the way you are using this committee so far. I had some concerns about it turning into

569
04:08:17,360 --> 04:08:24,320
something that would pull time out of our, this is great work. Thank you, thank you, Councillor Panner,

570
04:08:24,320 --> 04:08:28,800
for keeping me updated on what's happening on this committee. Thank you, Councillor Shibou, for the

571
04:08:28,800 --> 04:08:32,320
good work that you're spearheading. That's it. I'm happy to vote yes.

572
04:08:34,000 --> 04:08:37,680
Thank you. I see no one else in the queue. I'll go to you to close, please. Councillor Shibou.

573
04:08:38,720 --> 04:08:50,960
Thank you. It's open set. Close. Thank you. He described to vote everyone.

574
04:08:51,600 --> 04:09:04,800
Councillor Chuyer, vote please. Yes. Thank you. Mayor Gondick, all the votes are in.

575
04:09:04,800 --> 04:09:12,800
Could you display the results, please? That is carried unanimously. Kind of a theme today.

576
04:09:13,520 --> 04:09:19,680
All right, let me go to the readings of the by-law. First reading of by-law, 20m, 2023, anyone opposed hearing

577
04:09:19,680 --> 04:09:26,320
none that is carried, second reading of by-law, 20m, 2023, anyone opposed hearing none that is carried,

578
04:09:26,320 --> 04:09:32,480
authorization for third reading of by-law, 20m, 2023, anyone opposed hearing none that's carried unanimously,

579
04:09:32,480 --> 04:09:40,080
third reading of by-law, 20m, 2023, anyone opposed hearing none that is carried. Thank you very much.

580
04:09:40,080 --> 04:09:50,560
We will move on to item 9.2.4, which is, I'm not missing anything, am I? No, okay good.

581
04:09:50,560 --> 04:09:56,400
Which is a progress update on safe and inclusive access, GM Black, any time you're ready?

582
04:09:56,400 --> 04:10:12,800
Well, thank you and good afternoon, Mayor Gondick and members of Council. I am Katie Black,

583
04:10:12,800 --> 04:10:17,440
the general manager for community services and very pleased to be with you this afternoon,

584
04:10:17,440 --> 04:10:24,560
just to provide a brief progress update on safe and inclusive access. This is, of course,

585
04:10:24,560 --> 04:10:30,080
the commitment that we made coming out of a decision the Council took just last month,

586
04:10:30,880 --> 04:10:39,200
about approving a new by-law, called safe and inclusive access by-law, and also an amendment to

587
04:10:39,200 --> 04:10:47,200
the public behavior by-law, both of those enacted on March 14. I do want to acknowledge before I go further

588
04:10:47,920 --> 04:10:54,240
that the subject matter that we are discussing includes disturbing content about lived experiences

589
04:10:54,320 --> 04:11:00,160
of hate, transphobia, and homophobia that may be triggering and traumatic for some.

590
04:11:01,280 --> 04:11:07,280
With that, I'd ask that we go to the next slide, please. You'll see that we have two recommendations,

591
04:11:07,280 --> 04:11:13,760
one is to receive this progress report for information. The other is to direct administration,

592
04:11:13,760 --> 04:11:20,800
to monitor the utilization of the safe and inclusive access by-law, and come back to Council,

593
04:11:20,880 --> 04:11:26,240
of course, with any recommended amendments that may be indicated. Next slide, please.

594
04:11:28,880 --> 04:11:39,440
So in essence, the report describes three or sorry four themes that we have identified so far. We

595
04:11:39,440 --> 04:11:46,320
have seen a decline in specified protests that are targeting the two SLGBTQIA plus community,

596
04:11:46,320 --> 04:11:51,840
although I would acknowledge that protests at reading with royalty events have continued to occur.

597
04:11:53,040 --> 04:12:00,880
We've seen a high level of voluntary compliance by most protesters. We've also heard about enhanced

598
04:12:00,880 --> 04:12:06,800
sense of safety and reduced anxiety in staff working in wreck facilities and libraries.

599
04:12:08,240 --> 04:12:16,160
And finally, we undertook an online survey. It was completed by over 460 members of

600
04:12:16,160 --> 04:12:23,840
the 2 SLGBTQIA plus community and of group experiencing exclusion and discrimination over the course of

601
04:12:23,840 --> 04:12:30,480
six days. So that's a pretty extraordinary response rate to have received in such a short period of time.

602
04:12:30,480 --> 04:12:37,920
And of those that we heard from 32% of the survey participants reported feeling safer in public spaces.

603
04:12:38,720 --> 04:12:46,000
62% reported that they didn't had an experience to change in their level of safety, at least not yet.

604
04:12:47,280 --> 04:12:54,880
Next slide, please. We have a couple of graphs to show you protests in general are continuing

605
04:12:54,880 --> 04:13:02,640
in similar numbers to what we have seen historically in Calgary. This graph, you'll recognize a

606
04:13:02,640 --> 04:13:07,680
simplified version of something that's in attachment to shows the number of weekly protests

607
04:13:07,680 --> 04:13:14,160
occurring in Calgary. And so the green line, the upper line, shows all protests that have occurred

608
04:13:14,160 --> 04:13:21,760
on a wide range of subjects. And the red line shows the number of weekly specified protests occurring

609
04:13:21,760 --> 04:13:27,840
at wreck centers in libraries. You can see that the green line, though it fluctuates from week to week,

610
04:13:27,840 --> 04:13:34,640
has remained relatively consistent since the bylaws were passed. We can see that the red line

611
04:13:34,640 --> 04:13:41,360
up and down. But the red line, lower down, shows the decline in the number of weekly specified protests

612
04:13:42,480 --> 04:13:49,520
since the bylaw came into effect. So this tells us or suggests that the new bylaw is not preventing

613
04:13:49,520 --> 04:13:57,360
protests from occurring, but instead has shifted the time, manner and location of specified protests.

614
04:13:57,360 --> 04:14:06,640
And that was the intent. Next slide, please. So here's a different way of looking at the data that

615
04:14:06,640 --> 04:14:13,280
we've gathered in this first month and a bit since we were operating with the new bylaw in place.

616
04:14:15,040 --> 04:14:23,760
This is identifying, excuse me, sorry, the specified protests that we've seen again looking at what

617
04:14:23,840 --> 04:14:32,000
changed at March 14th. So very similar story, but what the gray bars on the right-hand side are

618
04:14:32,000 --> 04:14:39,760
describing is a forecast analysis. So they identified the number of protests that we could have anticipated

619
04:14:39,760 --> 04:14:45,680
would have occurred if we had continued with the trend that we were seeing before March 14th.

620
04:14:46,480 --> 04:14:52,560
After the safe and inclusive access bylaw was passed, the number of specified protests taking place at

621
04:14:52,560 --> 04:15:00,400
libraries and wreck facilities dropped. Oops, if you can just go back, you can see that those red bars.

622
04:15:00,000 --> 04:15:07,000
In the trend that we were seeing previously. Now on to the next slide.

623
04:15:07,000 --> 04:15:12,280
This is where we knew a little bit of fancy footwork with the animations. We wanted to surface

624
04:15:12,280 --> 04:15:18,480
a number of questions that we've heard over the last little while. So the first was how

625
04:15:18,480 --> 04:15:24,240
many protesters have been attending specified protests, and you can see that the number

626
04:15:25,240 --> 04:15:31,240
of protesters has varied. Sometimes, as few as one, sometimes as many as 20.

627
04:15:31,240 --> 04:15:37,240
The second question to identify is that we've asked it, or we've heard

628
04:15:37,240 --> 04:15:43,240
questions about how many violations or court challenges we've had. And click.

629
04:15:43,240 --> 04:15:49,240
If we look at the answer to that one, there have been six safe and inclusive access violations

630
04:15:49,240 --> 04:15:56,240
for street harassment violations. There have not been any court challenges to date.

631
04:15:56,240 --> 04:16:01,240
We've been asked how is the new bylaw being applied to advocacy groups?

632
04:16:01,240 --> 04:16:06,240
Oh, I love how we're doing this. Thanks. So in terms of response to advocacy groups,

633
04:16:06,240 --> 04:16:14,240
the bylaw is applied equally to all groups engaging in a specified protest. So far, to date,

634
04:16:14,240 --> 04:16:20,240
the messaging and protest and presence of individuals who support the 2SLGBTQIA

635
04:16:20,240 --> 04:16:27,240
plus community have not met the definition of a specified protest under the bylaw. But the bylaw

636
04:16:27,240 --> 04:16:35,240
would be applied consistently. The next question is about how intimidation in the public behavior

637
04:16:35,240 --> 04:16:42,240
bylaw is being interpreted by enforcement teams. And what we can say about this is that adding intimidation

638
04:16:42,240 --> 04:16:48,240
to the public behavior bylaw's definition of harassment or of harass makes intimidation

639
04:16:48,240 --> 04:16:55,240
and explicit qualifier. So it just makes it clearer in determining whether an offense has occurred.

640
04:16:55,240 --> 04:17:03,240
And finally, we've been asked how we will monitor this bylaw over time. And what I can assure you is that bylaws

641
04:17:03,240 --> 04:17:10,240
utilization is regularly monitored by administration in all cases. So with any bylaw,

642
04:17:10,240 --> 04:17:16,240
including these ones, but with other bylaws as well, if administration sees the need for changes,

643
04:17:16,240 --> 04:17:25,240
we would make this recommendation to council. Next slide, please. So with that, we return to the 2 recommendations that you saw at

644
04:17:25,240 --> 04:17:34,240
the beginning of this presentation first to receive this program update for the corporate record for information

645
04:17:34,240 --> 04:17:40,240
and secondly, to direct administration to do as I was just describing in the previous slide

646
04:17:40,240 --> 04:17:49,240
to monitor the utilization of the safe and inclusive access bylaw and as necessary, return to council with any recommended amendments.

647
04:17:49,240 --> 04:18:02,240
With that, I will end my presentation and I have a team from across administration that has been tracking this and are standing by to answer your questions.

648
04:18:02,240 --> 04:18:09,240
Thank you very much. I have a question from council. Why miss in the queue?

649
04:18:09,240 --> 04:18:17,240
Thanks. With this bylaw, is there a lawyer on standby for peace officers to call before they issue a ticket?

650
04:18:17,240 --> 04:18:28,240
I might ask a colleague from law to speak to this a little bit further, but what I know is that we have ongoing communication with law any time

651
04:18:28,240 --> 04:18:38,240
that we have a new bylaw coming into effect or if there is complexity with a bylaw, so we always have law and stand by to make sure we're interpreting appropriately.

652
04:18:38,240 --> 04:18:41,240
Would you like to expand?

653
04:18:41,240 --> 04:18:57,240
Thank you. Yes, no exactly what GM Black said. Particularly we have something new. We have lawyers available to provide background and it's one of the nice things about having an in-house legal

654
04:18:57,240 --> 04:19:01,240
department is that we are available to answer those questions.

655
04:19:01,240 --> 04:19:06,240
How many of us in the past?

656
04:19:06,240 --> 04:19:12,240
Okay, somebody needs to be pleased.

657
04:19:13,240 --> 04:19:16,240
Is that better?

658
04:19:16,240 --> 04:19:18,240
Everyone is in here.

659
04:19:18,240 --> 04:19:20,240
Everyone is in here.

660
04:19:20,240 --> 04:19:23,240
We won't be judged.

661
04:19:23,240 --> 04:19:26,240
Or someone online seems to be gone.

662
04:19:26,240 --> 04:19:28,240
Councillor Wynis, please go ahead.

663
04:19:28,240 --> 04:19:40,240
How many bylaws in council's history have ever had a lawyer live in a person before bylaws, for bylaw to call before issuing a ticket?

664
04:19:40,240 --> 04:19:52,240
Perhaps I can speak to that. So we support our clients as best we can in the need and some of the matters that are bylaw enforcement officers deal with are very routine and very typical and some are not.

665
04:19:52,240 --> 04:19:58,240
And so we are able to provide the support that they need in the map for the matters that require the support.

666
04:19:58,240 --> 04:20:02,240
So I don't have a number. We've been enforcing bylaws for many, many years.

667
04:20:02,240 --> 04:20:06,240
Yeah, so this is kind of the first one. The reason I'm asking this is.

668
04:20:06,240 --> 04:20:10,240
Sorry, may I clarify this is not the first one at all.

669
04:20:10,240 --> 04:20:16,240
Okay, well, when I asked it behind scenes, it was essentially that was the answer I thought.

670
04:20:16,240 --> 04:20:22,240
Does that mean we need to do an amendment for the language to make it clear for enforcement to understand?

671
04:20:22,240 --> 04:20:24,240
That's my question to ask you.

672
04:20:24,240 --> 04:20:26,240
I want to go with the lawyer being on call.

673
04:20:26,240 --> 04:20:40,240
And with working with them, police officers calling you, have you seen an opportunity to change a language for them to easily, more easily understand the line of enforcement with this bylaw?

674
04:20:40,240 --> 04:20:42,240
I think that it's still early days.

675
04:20:42,240 --> 04:20:46,240
We are at what I think it's six weeks.

676
04:20:46,240 --> 04:20:52,240
I think that we have struck the right balance at this point.

677
04:20:52,240 --> 04:20:56,240
And so I wouldn't suggest or recommend an amendment.

678
04:20:56,240 --> 04:21:00,240
Certainly, it's about educating the public.

679
04:21:00,240 --> 04:21:04,240
It's about educating our peace officers.

680
04:21:04,240 --> 04:21:08,240
We have a very a great synergy with the peace officers.

681
04:21:08,240 --> 04:21:12,240
And that they do feel that they can call if they have questions.

682
04:21:12,240 --> 04:21:14,240
And that's what they've been doing.

683
04:21:14,240 --> 04:21:18,240
And I would suggest we continue down that road at this point.

684
04:21:18,240 --> 04:21:20,240
Okay.

685
04:21:20,240 --> 04:21:24,240
And then of those six violations, what was the fine amount?

686
04:21:26,240 --> 04:21:30,240
Was there any jail time for me to go?

687
04:21:30,240 --> 04:21:34,240
Chief Plakitis will be able to explain this.

688
04:21:34,240 --> 04:21:36,240
He was just explaining it to me.

689
04:21:36,240 --> 04:21:38,240
And where we are in the process.

690
04:21:38,240 --> 04:21:40,240
The short answer is we don't have the answer yet.

691
04:21:40,240 --> 04:21:42,240
But Chief Plakitis, can you explain a little bit more about how to answer?

692
04:21:42,240 --> 04:21:44,240
Thanks for the question.

693
04:21:44,240 --> 04:21:48,240
So when we're issuing violations under this bylaw,

694
04:21:48,240 --> 04:21:50,240
we're issuing a long-form summons.

695
04:21:50,240 --> 04:21:54,240
Where the courts can impose a fine of up to $10,000 per offense.

696
04:21:54,240 --> 04:21:56,240
So we do that for a number of reasons.

697
04:21:56,240 --> 04:22:00,240
We've dealt with several individuals where they've received multiple violations.

698
04:22:00,240 --> 04:22:06,240
And it's one way to include multiple charges on one form instead of issuing multiple tickets.

699
04:22:06,240 --> 04:22:11,240
We want to ensure that we're avoiding bad actors who may just pay the

700
04:22:11,240 --> 04:22:17,240
the specified fine and as it costs to do in business and continue to break the bylaw.

701
04:22:17,240 --> 04:22:21,240
And it also because of the newness of the bylaw, as we were just speaking of,

702
04:22:21,240 --> 04:22:25,240
it's an opportunity for us to have a pre-charge conference with law

703
04:22:25,240 --> 04:22:33,240
just to make sure that the facts are present and they warrant the issuance of a ticket.

704
04:22:33,240 --> 04:22:39,240
So if I may just to summarize the punchline that I took away from this is

705
04:22:39,240 --> 04:22:47,240
that this will be decided by a judge and I don't think any of the issues have come before the court yet.

706
04:22:47,240 --> 04:22:51,240
So then we're just waiting for those long-form summons to make it before a judge.

707
04:22:51,240 --> 04:22:57,240
We anticipate that these charges will be contested in court and when that happens,

708
04:22:57,240 --> 04:23:03,240
if found guilty, it's at the discretion of the courts to impose a penalty of up to $10,000.

709
04:23:03,240 --> 04:23:07,240
So I think in the slides we were a little bit only said no court challenges, we're still

710
04:23:07,240 --> 04:23:11,240
we should have articulated that a little differently considering what we've issued.

711
04:23:11,240 --> 04:23:18,240
And then we said 62% feel they don't feel this has helped them in anyway.

712
04:23:18,240 --> 04:23:25,240
And I can see why when the protesters have just removed their signs and then therefore they get to have that loophole

713
04:23:25,240 --> 04:23:31,240
in their protest and yet most people going to reading rainbow, no people standing within that zone with no signs

714
04:23:31,240 --> 04:23:32,240
that are protesting.

715
04:23:32,240 --> 04:23:33,240
Do we have a privilege?

716
04:23:33,240 --> 04:23:34,240
Yeah.

717
04:23:34,240 --> 04:23:36,240
The program is not called reading rainbow.

718
04:23:36,240 --> 04:23:37,240
It is called reading with royalty.

719
04:23:37,240 --> 04:23:38,240
I think if we're going to...

720
04:23:38,240 --> 04:23:39,240
Reading with royalty.

721
04:23:39,240 --> 04:23:40,240
Okay.

722
04:23:40,240 --> 04:23:44,240
Because I was confusing in different programs.

723
04:23:44,240 --> 04:23:51,240
But when I drove by, I noticed that conflict and tension is still in the air for people attending.

724
04:23:51,240 --> 04:23:57,240
And if we're getting a survey result from the community that say 60% or 62% feel they didn't get that

725
04:23:57,240 --> 04:23:59,240
change or that support.

726
04:23:59,240 --> 04:24:04,240
How can we get that amendment so that those 62% feel that we actually met their needs?

727
04:24:04,240 --> 04:24:11,240
I would say that as Ms. Davies answered in answer to one of your previous questions.

728
04:24:11,240 --> 04:24:13,240
These are early days.

729
04:24:13,240 --> 04:24:16,240
We have made a change that we believe is a good change.

730
04:24:16,240 --> 04:24:19,240
We've seen evidence of progress.

731
04:24:19,240 --> 04:24:26,240
The fact that not everyone has experienced the change right away I think is reasonable in the period of time

732
04:24:26,240 --> 04:24:28,240
that we've had to work with at this point.

733
04:24:28,240 --> 04:24:32,240
So I don't think there's any indication that we need to change.

734
04:24:32,240 --> 04:24:39,240
We do need to stay the course and continue to observe what's working and certainly continue to keep our ears open

735
04:24:39,240 --> 04:24:42,240
and make sure that we are responding to community need.

736
04:24:42,240 --> 04:24:43,240
Okay.

737
04:24:43,240 --> 04:24:45,240
And so only your next update be able to guess if we're...

738
04:24:45,240 --> 04:24:50,240
Well, it'll be after the summons make it through the courts or how will we communicate the success of that?

739
04:24:50,240 --> 04:24:55,240
Well, as I said, the recommendation as it's written is that we would come back to you.

740
04:24:55,240 --> 04:24:59,240
When we see that there's indication.

741
04:24:59,240 --> 04:25:06,240
So if something has changed that makes us think, oh, this bylaws not working the way we had intended we'd certainly come back to you.

742
04:25:06,240 --> 04:25:08,240
That's our recommendation.

743
04:25:08,240 --> 04:25:11,240
Okay.

744
04:25:11,240 --> 04:25:12,240
Thanks.

745
04:25:14,240 --> 04:25:16,240
Councillor Wong, please.

746
04:25:16,240 --> 04:25:18,240
Thank you, Mayor.

747
04:25:19,240 --> 04:25:22,240
This is probably some of not sure if you can answer this one.

748
04:25:22,240 --> 04:25:25,240
I understand, I understand of course.

749
04:25:25,240 --> 04:25:32,240
I understand we've got the 100 meter separation.

750
04:25:32,240 --> 04:25:36,240
I've been in places where there have been protests.

751
04:25:36,240 --> 04:25:39,240
But the protests as much as they maintain 100 meters,

752
04:25:39,240 --> 04:25:43,240
it's the fact that they're using megafones to, you know,

753
04:25:43,240 --> 04:25:47,240
really blast across 100 meters to people walking back for it.

754
04:25:47,240 --> 04:25:50,240
What did we do to enforce that?

755
04:25:50,240 --> 04:25:52,240
Well, it would be very facts specific.

756
04:25:52,240 --> 04:25:57,240
I mean, we would have to look at the volume of the noise it's being generated.

757
04:25:57,240 --> 04:26:05,240
You know, we have decibel meter readers that can determine the decibel levels that are being emitted from those devices.

758
04:26:05,240 --> 04:26:09,240
We have to look at the nature of the surrounding area and be at noise.

759
04:26:09,240 --> 04:26:11,240
We're receiving any complaints.

760
04:26:11,240 --> 04:26:16,240
So there have been some circumstances where we have been able to enforce our community standards bylaw

761
04:26:16,240 --> 04:26:19,240
and the noise provisions that are captured within that bylaw.

762
04:26:19,240 --> 04:26:25,240
And there's other situations when we assess it and it just doesn't meet the threshold for us to take enforcement action.

763
04:26:25,240 --> 04:26:29,240
So you're talking about, again, the noise level.

764
04:26:29,240 --> 04:26:32,240
I'm talking about the message that goes across.

765
04:26:32,240 --> 04:26:38,240
You know, again, walking 100 meters away and when somebody makes derogatory statements,

766
04:26:38,240 --> 04:26:43,240
calls out people, those messages are, I guess, where my concerns are.

767
04:26:43,240 --> 04:26:46,240
Yes, especially to young ears.

768
04:26:46,240 --> 04:26:49,240
Sorry, I misunderstood your question.

769
04:26:49,240 --> 04:26:54,240
We do still have our public behavior bylaw that contains the harassment provisions.

770
04:26:54,240 --> 04:26:59,240
As you know, last time we're here, we modified the definition to include intimidation.

771
04:26:59,240 --> 04:27:05,240
So it's any humiliation, causing reasonable offense intimidation.

772
04:27:05,240 --> 04:27:10,240
Based on those protected grounds, it's not limited to that, but that's explicit in the bylaw.

773
04:27:10,240 --> 04:27:15,240
Then we can move forward with with charges under under that particular bylaw.

774
04:27:15,240 --> 04:27:21,240
But it is up to us to prove beyond reasonable doubt that someone has committed the offense.

775
04:27:21,240 --> 04:27:30,240
So I think just over the last five weeks, since the bylaws being in effect, you see a number of charges issued under the safe and inclusive access bylaw.

776
04:27:30,240 --> 04:27:39,240
You also see a number of charges under the public behavior bylaw for offenses, as you've just described.

777
04:27:40,240 --> 04:27:51,240
The presumption, though, is that a piece of officer is there to witness to take note and to try to check it.

778
04:27:51,240 --> 04:27:54,240
But again, in situations, you are not always there.

779
04:27:54,240 --> 04:28:07,240
So again, what can we say to the public within this bylaw that physical separations, one thing, the audio sort of messaging and interference with other people's,

780
04:28:07,240 --> 04:28:14,240
you know, quiet enjoyment of their, how can we reinforce that, you know, please not blast in people's ears, your message.

781
04:28:14,240 --> 04:28:20,240
Again, when, when you are not there, how do we let the people know that they, they shouldn't be doing that?

782
04:28:20,240 --> 04:28:28,240
I get it, and it is, it comes with enforcement challenges, but we do encourage people to call through on one if they have been victims of harassment.

783
04:28:28,240 --> 04:28:37,240
And, you know, if, if there's multiple individuals there that overheard the messaging that qualifies as harassment, that's helpful.

784
04:28:37,240 --> 04:28:47,240
You know, multiple witness statements forms oftentimes people capture sound images on their mobile device, which is also can be used in prosecution.

785
04:28:47,240 --> 04:29:01,240
So it's really just trying to capture what the person's experience, either on a witness statement form, or digitally, and then contacting three on one, so we can review that evidence and see if we can move forward with the charge.

786
04:29:01,240 --> 04:29:02,240
Okay.

787
04:29:02,240 --> 04:29:10,240
If we just aim on any enforcement side of the equation, I'm just saying, in the bylaw, is there something that we could really say to people?

788
04:29:10,240 --> 04:29:17,240
You know, this is not acceptable behavior, this is not, you know, how can we, how can we get the public message out there, not to do it.

789
04:29:17,240 --> 04:29:24,240
Regardless of whether you, you see it, whether regardless of what citizens report it, we just want them not to do it.

790
04:29:24,240 --> 04:29:31,240
Yeah, yeah, so, so, so last fall we launched a campaign to encourage people to contact three one one.

791
04:29:31,240 --> 04:29:37,240
This year we've been chatting with our anti-racism team about revamping that and needs to be more than just directing people to call the city.

792
04:29:37,240 --> 04:29:40,240
It's, we need to really focus on behavioral change.

793
04:29:40,240 --> 04:29:54,240
So we're looking at a number of strategies to revamp our public education campaign to really make sure that the public understands the issue and the seriousness of the issue and hopefully to encourage less of these types of incidents.

794
04:29:54,240 --> 04:30:00,240
Or even if you're a bystander to also capture what you've observed and then reported.

795
04:30:00,000 --> 04:30:13,000
If I may add to that, the one other thing that I think is worth taking us back to is a point that was early in my presentation, which is that voluntary compliance is high.

796
04:30:13,000 --> 04:30:25,000
And so while we're talking about specific situations where enforcement may be indicated, the fact that we've seen the reductions that we have tells us that voluntary compliance is occurring.

797
04:30:25,000 --> 04:30:34,000
And that's one of the fundamentals of all of our laws and by-laws, is that we don't count on enforcement to set the standard.

798
04:30:34,000 --> 04:30:43,000
We count on people to understand that these are the rules that we've agreed on to create a safe and respectful community.

799
04:30:43,000 --> 04:30:46,000
And as a general rule, people choose to follow those.

800
04:30:46,000 --> 04:30:48,000
And I appreciate a general blocker.

801
04:30:48,000 --> 04:30:49,000
Yes, I can say.

802
04:30:49,000 --> 04:30:50,000
I'm sorry.

803
04:30:50,000 --> 04:30:57,000
Add one more piece. Council all during the budget process has approved two community liaison officer positions. These are new for us.

804
04:30:57,000 --> 04:31:10,000
A lot of their focus is going to be chatting with young people and high schools and engaging racialized and indigenous communities to listen and to find out how we can better tailor our services to support those communities as well.

805
04:31:10,000 --> 04:31:16,000
And I think if we just rely solely on just ticket books and we're never going to move the needles.

806
04:31:16,000 --> 04:31:21,000
So it has to be a comprehensive approach to addressing issues around hate.

807
04:31:21,000 --> 04:31:31,000
We're looking at leveraging technology to be able to understand that a more granular level of different types of hate symbols that we're seeing across the city is another example.

808
04:31:31,000 --> 04:31:41,000
We are working very closely with the anti racism team and putting together a comprehensive plan to be able to be more impactful and not just rely on peace officers to be able to take it somebody.

809
04:31:41,000 --> 04:31:44,000
I think the answer is looking forward to more.

810
04:31:44,000 --> 04:31:51,000
What you just as a previous which is education, culture change, orientation, you know what proper behavior should be sold.

811
04:31:51,000 --> 04:31:54,000
That's I think the solution I was looking for. Thank you.

812
04:31:54,000 --> 04:31:57,000
Councillor Sharp please.

813
04:31:58,000 --> 04:32:09,000
Thank you. Thanks for bringing this back as a progress update. I'm happy to see this and to say have I have like literally one question or two questions in a question.

814
04:32:09,000 --> 04:32:14,000
This file was put in place basically to respond to the specific ongoing concern.

815
04:32:14,000 --> 04:32:24,000
It is something administration recommends we keep enforced permanently or is it something that we should review and if and when these particular protests aren't a longer taking place.

816
04:32:24,000 --> 04:32:28,000
Will it is at the hope here.

817
04:32:28,000 --> 04:32:42,000
Councillor Sharp we have a range of bylaws on the books and we aren't using all of them for enforcement every day or every week as a general rule.

818
04:32:42,000 --> 04:32:51,000
If it makes sense for them to continue to remain on the books we would do that if there was some reason we thought we ought to take it.

819
04:32:52,000 --> 04:32:57,000
Thank you.

820
04:32:57,000 --> 04:32:59,000
Thank you.

821
04:32:59,000 --> 04:33:11,000
I mean I'm just going to offer a little bit debate but it's good to hear that you know it's working and people are feeling more safe and more comfortable using the public facilities so we're happy to support this update.

822
04:33:11,000 --> 04:33:13,000
Thanks for being here today.

823
04:33:13,000 --> 04:33:18,000
Thank you very much. I don't see any other questions. I'll go to Councillor Walcott to move this please.

824
04:33:21,000 --> 04:33:30,000
You know six weeks ago when we did this there was a lot to get through the discussion to really just thank you all for the work that you were doing.

825
04:33:30,000 --> 04:33:37,000
I think the significance of this really follows into place with how flexible it's actually going to be.

826
04:33:37,000 --> 04:33:44,000
For the most part when we look at what it means to have a specified protest on.

827
04:33:44,000 --> 04:33:53,000
Protected grounds are some significant flexibility that even if we were to just extrapolate our understanding of the world a year and a half.

828
04:33:53,000 --> 04:33:59,000
There have been several that have been arguably.

829
04:33:59,000 --> 04:34:05,000
Violating the concept of the protected grounds but we didn't have anything in place to have that discussion unless it reached a criminal threshold.

830
04:34:05,000 --> 04:34:26,000
I'm really grateful you know and I know that a lot of conversations have been had from for a while about the concept of like virtue signaling but I've always loved it.

831
04:34:26,000 --> 04:34:34,000
Because of the idea that virtue is when you put out your sense of morality and what you believe to be right and if this is the kind of work that council does to tell people what we believe to be right.

832
04:34:34,000 --> 04:34:43,000
We believe to be right and what we believe to be moral. I'm proud to stand behind it any day so signal away so with that I move.

833
04:34:43,000 --> 04:34:46,000
Thank you seconded by Councillor Ketter.

834
04:34:46,000 --> 04:34:51,000
We don't see anybody else in the queue to debate over to you to close councilor Walcott.

835
04:34:51,000 --> 04:34:52,000
I'm closed.

836
04:34:52,000 --> 04:34:54,000
Thank you. He's subscribed to vote everyone.

837
04:35:05,000 --> 04:35:14,000
Councillor McLean your vote please.

838
04:35:14,000 --> 04:35:29,000
Mayor Gondick all the votes are in could you display the results please.

839
04:35:29,000 --> 04:35:32,000
That's carried unanimously.

840
04:35:32,000 --> 04:35:33,000
Thank you very much.

841
04:35:33,000 --> 04:35:46,000
Now the next item 9.3.1 I believe has something happening with it and I'm going to go to councilor Shabo to tell us what that is.

842
04:35:46,000 --> 04:35:48,000
Thank you, Mayor.

843
04:35:48,000 --> 04:36:00,000
So I've been advised by administration that following our discussions at committee that they have been working on an amended policy to this by law.

844
04:36:00,000 --> 04:36:09,000
As this by law, it's not exclusively limiting our ability to access funding for our expenditures.

845
04:36:09,000 --> 04:36:25,000
This is by law applies to all employees and we are by association tied into this by law and they are in the process of reviewing it more comprehensively because they agree that what is what was approved may not necessarily meet their objectives.

846
04:36:25,000 --> 04:36:29,000
And I think it deserves a little more rigorous first discussion as well.

847
04:36:29,000 --> 04:36:38,000
Insofar as limitations that we may have wanted to impose on ourselves that would have the unintended consequence of also impacting our employees.

848
04:36:38,000 --> 04:36:53,000
So my understanding is that administration is doing a comprehensive review of this in comparing us with other municipalities and other business units that will have an update sometime in.

849
04:36:53,000 --> 04:37:02,000
And I do have an amendment proposed to the Madam Clerk as and I can't remember the exact date, but this can be a second.

850
04:37:02,000 --> 04:37:06,000
I can get my eyes working again.

851
04:37:06,000 --> 04:37:12,000
The proposed update would be coming back to the council services committee on December 7th.

852
04:37:12,000 --> 04:37:21,000
Obviously they have a lot of work on our plates, but this is your list they believe they can come back with with some recommendations that will ultimately make this by law.

853
04:37:21,000 --> 04:37:31,000
Better for all. So my recommendation is that we refer this back to administration to report back to the Council Services Committee by December 7th 2023.

854
04:37:31,000 --> 04:37:36,000
This is being seconded by Councillor Sharp. It is on your screen.

855
04:37:36,000 --> 04:37:41,000
Does anyone have any questions regarding this item?

856
04:37:41,000 --> 04:37:45,000
Seeing and hearing none over to you to close Councillor Shabo.

857
04:37:45,000 --> 04:37:50,000
Thank you. Members Council and looking forward to having further debate on December 7th.

858
04:37:50,000 --> 04:37:51,000
Of course.

859
04:37:51,000 --> 04:37:54,000
All right. You subscribe to vote everyone.

860
04:38:07,000 --> 04:38:09,000
Mayor Gondick, all the votes are in.

861
04:38:09,000 --> 04:38:14,000
If you can display the results please.

862
04:38:14,000 --> 04:38:18,000
That is carried surprised unanimously.

863
04:38:18,000 --> 04:38:33,000
That takes us to item 9.3.2, which is a proposed special tax by law.

864
04:38:33,000 --> 04:38:40,000
Thank you, Mayor. This is a typical special tax by law that we do for enhanced maintenance.

865
04:38:40,000 --> 04:38:46,000
We do not have a presentation. It is for 27 communities seeking support under this file.

866
04:38:46,000 --> 04:38:52,000
I have the director of parks and open space here. Should there be any questions?

867
04:38:52,000 --> 04:38:58,000
All right. I will leave it for questions for a minute here.

868
04:38:58,000 --> 04:39:04,000
I see someone to move and someone to debate. I don't see questions so over to you, Councillor Panner.

869
04:39:05,000 --> 04:39:08,000
I may be right now this procedure before.

870
04:39:08,000 --> 04:39:12,000
I think there are questions about this program that a lot of Councillors have.

871
04:39:12,000 --> 04:39:16,000
We will be happy to hear the debate.

872
04:39:16,000 --> 04:39:20,000
This is a program that Council wants review.

873
04:39:20,000 --> 04:39:27,000
I look forward to hearing that and some ideas of how we can move forward with this.

874
04:39:27,000 --> 04:39:30,000
Thank you. Seconded by Councillor Demong.

875
04:39:30,000 --> 04:39:33,000
I will go over to Councillor Shabo.

876
04:39:34,000 --> 04:39:40,000
Well, not many of you have heard my debate on this, but some of the old members of Council have heard my debate on this matter.

877
04:39:40,000 --> 04:39:51,000
Well, I appreciate the amount of rigor that went into getting approval from the individual communities to get this enhanced landscaping by law,

878
04:39:51,000 --> 04:39:54,000
approved for their own individual communities.

879
04:39:54,000 --> 04:40:02,000
I'm very much of the opinion as many of my residents that this type of service should be provided equally to all members of the city.

880
04:40:02,000 --> 04:40:12,000
Our taxation system is structured in such a fashion that is designed to be based on ability to pay.

881
04:40:12,000 --> 04:40:21,000
Well, some communities are maybe more affluent than others and have greater ability to pay for enhanced levels of service.

882
04:40:21,000 --> 04:40:31,000
Those communities that don't have that same level of disposable income to pay for more enhanced service.

883
04:40:31,000 --> 04:40:34,000
And don't get the benefit of this by law.

884
04:40:34,000 --> 04:40:41,000
So I believe that this is a service that should be provided equally to all residents across the city.

885
04:40:41,000 --> 04:40:45,000
And just because some communities may have a greater ability to pay than others.

886
04:40:45,000 --> 04:40:55,000
They shouldn't be given an enhanced treatment because it certainly is not something that's easy to sell for my constituents.

887
04:40:55,000 --> 04:41:02,000
Because of that, as I have in the past, I will be voting against this.

888
04:41:02,000 --> 04:41:04,000
Councillor Demong, please.

889
04:41:04,000 --> 04:41:11,000
And to simply counter that debate, this is no more different than a homeowner's association, a residence association,

890
04:41:11,000 --> 04:41:16,000
where a group of people that live on the same street that decide to use the same landscaper.

891
04:41:16,000 --> 04:41:22,000
This is about a group of people that want to embed their neighborhood and are willing to put a couple of dollars on the line for it.

892
04:41:22,000 --> 04:41:26,000
No different than if you've actually got out and said, let's all hire the same landscaper.

893
04:41:26,000 --> 04:41:27,000
What the heck?

894
04:41:27,000 --> 04:41:29,000
So, no.

895
04:41:29,000 --> 04:41:32,000
Please vote for this.

896
04:41:32,000 --> 04:41:33,000
All right.

897
04:41:33,000 --> 04:41:37,000
Over to you to close Councillor Petter.

898
04:41:37,000 --> 04:41:39,000
Thanks, Councillor Demong.

899
04:41:39,000 --> 04:41:40,000
Close.

900
04:41:40,000 --> 04:41:41,000
All right.

901
04:41:41,000 --> 04:41:57,000
All right, eScramped to vote, everyone.

902
04:41:57,000 --> 04:41:59,000
Mayor Gondick, all the votes are in.

903
04:41:59,000 --> 04:42:01,000
Could you display the results, please?

904
04:42:01,000 --> 04:42:08,000
That is carried 14 to 1 with Councillor Shabo voting against.

905
04:42:08,000 --> 04:42:10,000
I'll do the reading to the bylaw.

906
04:42:10,000 --> 04:42:13,000
First reading of bylaw, 12M, 2023.

907
04:42:13,000 --> 04:42:14,000
Anyone opposed?

908
04:42:14,000 --> 04:42:15,000
Councillor Shovos opposed?

909
04:42:15,000 --> 04:42:16,000
That is carried.

910
04:42:16,000 --> 04:42:18,000
Second reading of bylaw, 12M, 2023.

911
04:42:18,000 --> 04:42:19,000
Anyone opposed?

912
04:42:19,000 --> 04:42:20,000
Councillor Shovos opposed?

913
04:42:20,000 --> 04:42:21,000
That is carried.

914
04:42:21,000 --> 04:42:23,000
Authorization for third reading of bylaw.

915
04:42:23,000 --> 04:42:24,000
12M, 2023.

916
04:42:24,000 --> 04:42:25,000
Anyone opposed?

917
04:42:25,000 --> 04:42:26,000
Hearing none.

918
04:42:26,000 --> 04:42:28,000
That's carried unanimously.

919
04:42:28,000 --> 04:42:30,000
Third reading of bylaw, 12M, 2023., Anyone opposed?

920
04:42:30,000 --> 04:42:31,000
Councillor Shovos opposed?

921
04:42:31,000 --> 04:42:33,000
And that is carried.

922
04:42:33,000 --> 04:42:36,000
Moving on to 9.3 point 3.

923
04:42:36,000 --> 04:42:41,000
It's a Calgary Exhibition and Stampede Credit Facility Update.

924
04:42:41,000 --> 04:42:43,000
Good afternoon, Mayor.

925
04:42:43,000 --> 04:42:48,000
We do have a presentation with Council Lakes, or we can go straight to questions.

926
04:42:48,000 --> 04:42:49,000
I will ask.

927
04:42:49,000 --> 04:42:52,000
This item did come to Executive Committee.

928
04:42:52,000 --> 04:42:55,000
Does anyone need a presentation at this time?

929
04:42:58,000 --> 04:43:00,000
All right, seeing none.

930
04:43:00,000 --> 04:43:02,000
We will go just hang out there.

931
04:43:02,000 --> 04:43:03,000
We'll go into questions.

932
04:43:03,000 --> 04:43:08,000
So they wouldn't have any questions on this item.

933
04:43:08,000 --> 04:43:11,000
Okay, I don't see any over to you to move this Councilor Penner.

934
04:43:11,000 --> 04:43:13,000
Move.

935
04:43:13,000 --> 04:43:15,000
I guess seconder.

936
04:43:15,000 --> 04:43:18,000
Councilor McLean, thank you very much.

937
04:43:18,000 --> 04:43:22,000
Don't see anybody in the queue to debate over to you to close Councilor Penner.

938
04:43:22,000 --> 04:43:23,000
Close.

939
04:43:23,000 --> 04:43:24,000
Thank you.

940
04:43:33,000 --> 04:43:56,000
Councilor Corroyo, please.

941
04:43:56,000 --> 04:44:04,000
I may ask for some reason.

942
04:44:04,000 --> 04:44:05,000
It wasn't going.

943
04:44:05,000 --> 04:44:06,000
No problem.

944
04:44:06,000 --> 04:44:07,000
Thank you, Councilor Corraw noted.

945
04:44:07,000 --> 04:44:12,000
And Councilor Poupments, your vote, please.

946
04:44:12,000 --> 04:44:13,000
I'm sorry, Councilor Poupments.

947
04:44:13,000 --> 04:44:14,000
Thank you.

948
04:44:14,000 --> 04:44:16,000
Mayor Gondick, all the votes are in.

949
04:44:16,000 --> 04:44:20,000
Could you display your results, please?

950
04:44:20,000 --> 04:44:22,000
That is carried unanimously.

951
04:44:22,000 --> 04:44:25,000
Councilor Poupes could use your mics when you're voting that way.

952
04:44:25,000 --> 04:44:26,000
You can hear it.

953
04:44:26,000 --> 04:44:27,000
Thank you very much.

954
04:44:27,000 --> 04:44:34,000
First reading a by-law, 11 m, 20, 23, anyone opposed hearing none that is carried.

955
04:44:34,000 --> 04:44:41,000
We are on to the next item, which is 9.3.4, which is a reconsideration of the Heritage Planning Fund.

956
04:44:41,000 --> 04:44:44,000
Now, we have to do two things here.

957
04:44:44,000 --> 04:44:49,000
Firstly, we have to do a reconsideration vote, and then we have to go back to this item.

958
04:44:49,000 --> 04:44:54,000
Now, if I understand correctly.

959
04:44:54,000 --> 04:44:56,000
Nope, I'm thinking of the wrong item.

960
04:44:56,000 --> 04:45:00,000
Okay, so you would recommend that we call these two things separately, Madam.

961
04:45:00,000 --> 04:45:04,000
Clerk, first we do the reconsideration vote. That is absolutely correct, Mayor.

962
04:45:04,000 --> 04:45:07,000
Can I get someone to move the reconsideration vote, Councillor Wong?

963
04:45:07,000 --> 04:45:11,000
Thank you very much. Seconded by Councillor Petter.

964
04:45:11,000 --> 04:45:13,000
Thank you very much.

965
04:45:13,000 --> 04:45:16,000
So would you like us to do this on eScribe Madam Clerk?

966
04:45:16,000 --> 04:45:17,000
Yes, please, Mayor.

967
04:45:17,000 --> 04:45:19,000
That question, first.

968
04:45:19,000 --> 04:45:21,000
Oh, yep. Go ahead, Councillor Schwell.

969
04:45:21,000 --> 04:45:28,000
Thank you. So question, on this reconsideration, was it more or less than six months ago?

970
04:45:28,000 --> 04:45:30,000
That we made this decision.

971
04:45:30,000 --> 04:45:37,000
Because it impacts the requirement to get the reconsideration motion approved.

972
04:45:37,000 --> 04:45:40,000
Am I not correct?

973
04:45:40,000 --> 04:45:43,000
If it's less than six months, I believe we need ten.

974
04:45:43,000 --> 04:45:45,000
If it's more than six months, it's just majority.

975
04:45:45,000 --> 04:45:47,000
But I could be mistaken.

976
04:45:48,000 --> 04:46:01,000
If I could, the original decision, I believe, was part of the deliberations of the four year business plans and budgets, which happened the last week of November.

977
04:46:01,000 --> 04:46:05,000
So if I count on my fingers, I think I get less than six months.

978
04:46:05,000 --> 04:46:07,000
Go ahead, Madam Clerk.

979
04:46:07,000 --> 04:46:08,000
Thank you, Mayor.

980
04:46:09,000 --> 04:46:11,000
Go ahead, Madam Clerk.

981
04:46:11,000 --> 04:46:13,000
Thank you, Mayor, contact.

982
04:46:13,000 --> 04:46:16,000
Because the motion was adopted.

983
04:46:16,000 --> 04:46:22,000
The current procedure by led does not provide that six month rule.

984
04:46:22,000 --> 04:46:24,000
It's only four defeated motions.

985
04:46:24,000 --> 04:46:35,000
So given that the motion was adopted, if full or partial reconsideration is adopted, two thirds of vote is required, but that is not subject to the timing.

986
04:46:36,000 --> 04:46:37,000
Thanks for checking in though.

987
04:46:37,000 --> 04:46:38,000
I appreciate that.

988
04:46:38,000 --> 04:46:42,000
Is there anybody else on this reconsideration?

989
04:46:42,000 --> 04:46:46,000
I can assume your closed councilor will.

990
04:46:46,000 --> 04:46:47,000
Clerk.

991
04:46:47,000 --> 04:46:51,000
Clerk, Supreme Clerk, are the reason we're reconsidering is that there's an amendment.

992
04:46:51,000 --> 04:46:52,000
Correct.

993
04:46:52,000 --> 04:46:55,000
Thanks for the question, Councillor Wong.

994
04:46:55,000 --> 04:46:57,000
That would be a question for administration.

995
04:46:57,000 --> 04:47:00,000
That prepared the report on the reconsideration.

996
04:47:01,000 --> 04:47:19,000
Believe there is just a one technical amendment to put the letter I between the one and the F in recommendation one to refer to that to make sure it referred correctly to that particular line item in the budget documents.

997
04:47:19,000 --> 04:47:20,000
Thank you.

998
04:47:24,000 --> 04:47:25,000
Thank you very much.

999
04:47:25,000 --> 04:47:27,000
Without we go to the eScribe vote.

1000
04:47:31,000 --> 04:47:40,000
Mayor Gondick, all the votes are in.

1001
04:47:40,000 --> 04:47:45,000
Could you just play the results, please?

1002
04:47:45,000 --> 04:47:47,000
That is carried unanimously.

1003
04:47:47,000 --> 04:47:54,000
So we are reconsidering this item.

1004
04:47:54,000 --> 04:48:11,000
So it indicates after the amendment that council directed ministry administration to allocate the one time 2 million for heritage incentives to maximize support for a new historic resource designation and not offer the residential heritage tax incentive.

1005
04:48:11,000 --> 04:48:14,000
Councillor Wong before I go to you.

1006
04:48:14,000 --> 04:48:19,000
Does anybody have any questions on what we're doing?

1007
04:48:19,000 --> 04:48:22,000
Don't see any over to you to move Councillor Wong.

1008
04:48:22,000 --> 04:48:23,000
Thank you, Mayor.

1009
04:48:23,000 --> 04:48:30,000
As Jim Douglass indicated, this has come forward previously and there is a simple one character type.

1010
04:48:30,000 --> 04:48:35,000
It's a one for an eye and that's the only reason why this is being reposted.

1011
04:48:35,000 --> 04:48:36,000
Thank you.

1012
04:48:36,000 --> 04:48:40,000
Can I get a seconder on this please.

1013
04:48:40,000 --> 04:48:41,000
Councillor Putman.

1014
04:48:41,000 --> 04:48:42,000
Thank you very much.

1015
04:48:42,000 --> 04:48:44,000
Over to you to close Councillor Wong.

1016
04:48:44,000 --> 04:48:45,000
I'll close.

1017
04:48:45,000 --> 04:48:46,000
Thank you.

1018
04:48:46,000 --> 04:48:47,000
Okay.

1019
04:48:47,000 --> 04:49:11,000
Thank you.

1020
04:49:11,000 --> 04:49:13,000
Councillor Pennel, your vote please.

1021
04:49:13,000 --> 04:49:14,000
Yes.

1022
04:49:15,000 --> 04:49:16,000
Thank you.

1023
04:49:16,000 --> 04:49:18,000
Councillor Sharp, your vote please.

1024
04:49:18,000 --> 04:49:19,000
Yes.

1025
04:49:19,000 --> 04:49:20,000
Thank you.

1026
04:49:20,000 --> 04:49:22,000
And Mayor Gondick, your vote please.

1027
04:49:22,000 --> 04:49:23,000
I voted.

1028
04:49:23,000 --> 04:49:24,000
It was yes.

1029
04:49:24,000 --> 04:49:26,000
Thank you.

1030
04:49:26,000 --> 04:49:28,000
Mayor Gondick, all the votes are in.

1031
04:49:28,000 --> 04:49:33,000
Could you display the results please?

1032
04:49:33,000 --> 04:49:36,000
That is carried unanimously.

1033
04:49:36,000 --> 04:49:43,000
Let's move on to item number 9.3.5, which is secondary suite registry by law housing.

1034
04:49:43,000 --> 04:49:58,000
We buy law housekeeping amendment.

1035
04:49:58,000 --> 04:49:59,000
Hi.

1036
04:49:59,000 --> 04:50:01,000
Good afternoon.

1037
04:50:01,000 --> 04:50:02,000
Brenda Dejardin.

1038
04:50:02,000 --> 04:50:10,000
Here to discuss a small housekeeping amendment to the secondary suite by law.

1039
04:50:10,000 --> 04:50:17,000
I do have a presentation, but I'm happy to take questions if you like and invite the presentation

1040
04:50:17,000 --> 04:50:18,000
up to.

1041
04:50:18,000 --> 04:50:20,000
Let me see how everyone feels about this.

1042
04:50:20,000 --> 04:50:23,000
Does anyone need a presentation on this item?

1043
04:50:23,000 --> 04:50:25,000
I don't see anyone in need of a presentation.

1044
04:50:25,000 --> 04:50:26,000
So tell you what.

1045
04:50:26,000 --> 04:50:27,000
I will see if there are any questions.

1046
04:50:27,000 --> 04:50:29,000
I see movers and seconders.

1047
04:50:29,000 --> 04:50:30,000
Questions?

1048
04:50:30,000 --> 04:50:31,000
Anyone?

1049
04:50:31,000 --> 04:50:34,000
I will go over to you.

1050
04:50:34,000 --> 04:50:36,000
Councillor Shobal.

1051
04:50:36,000 --> 04:50:37,000
Thank you.

1052
04:50:37,000 --> 04:50:41,000
I'm happy to move the recommendations out.

1053
04:50:41,000 --> 04:50:47,000
I think this is something that we've had quite the debate on at committee about the need for this.

1054
04:50:47,000 --> 04:50:52,000
It's going to certainly enhance our ability on an enforcement side of things and maybe

1055
04:50:52,000 --> 04:50:58,000
encourage some folks to take advantage of this tremendous opportunity and the gifts for us.

1056
04:50:58,000 --> 04:51:04,000
Understanding is that we may be able to get the promise to allow us to continue on with our current

1057
04:51:05,000 --> 04:51:09,000
interpretation, which will hopefully bring more of our legal suites into compliance.

1058
04:51:09,000 --> 04:51:16,000
Thank you for bringing this forward and happy to support it and we'll answer any questions in my close if necessary.

1059
04:51:16,000 --> 04:51:17,000
Thank you.

1060
04:51:17,000 --> 04:51:19,000
It's seconded by Councillor Sharp.

1061
04:51:19,000 --> 04:51:23,000
I don't see anyone with any questions or debate over to you to close Councillor Shobal.

1062
04:51:23,000 --> 04:51:24,000
Thank you.

1063
04:51:24,000 --> 04:51:25,000
Thank you.

1064
04:51:34,000 --> 04:51:46,000
Councillor, please.

1065
04:51:46,000 --> 04:51:48,000
Thank you.

1066
04:51:48,000 --> 04:51:49,000
Thank you.

1067
04:51:49,000 --> 04:51:50,000
Thank you.

1068
04:51:50,000 --> 04:51:55,000
Could you display the results, please?

1069
04:51:55,000 --> 04:51:57,000
That is carried unanimously.

1070
04:51:57,000 --> 04:51:59,000
Go to the readings of the bylaw now.

1071
04:51:59,000 --> 04:52:02,000
First reading of bylaw, 21m, 2023.

1072
04:52:02,000 --> 04:52:03,000
Anyone opposed?

1073
04:52:03,000 --> 04:52:04,000
Hearing none.

1074
04:52:04,000 --> 04:52:07,000
That is carried second reading of bylaw, 21m, 2023.

1075
04:52:07,000 --> 04:52:08,000
Anyone opposed?

1076
04:52:08,000 --> 04:52:09,000
Hearing none.

1077
04:52:09,000 --> 04:52:13,000
That is carried authorization for third reading of bylaw, 21m, 2023.

1078
04:52:13,000 --> 04:52:14,000
Anyone opposed?

1079
04:52:14,000 --> 04:52:15,000
Hearing none.

1080
04:52:15,000 --> 04:52:16,000
That's carried unanimously.

1081
04:52:16,000 --> 04:52:19,000
Third reading of bylaw, 21m, 2023.

1082
04:52:19,000 --> 04:52:20,000
Anyone opposed?

1083
04:52:20,000 --> 04:52:21,000
Hearing none.

1084
04:52:21,000 --> 04:52:22,000
That is carried.

1085
04:52:22,000 --> 04:52:27,000
That brings us up to 9.3.6, which is Calgary Municipal Land Corporation, New

1086
04:52:27,000 --> 04:52:32,000
Borrowing and Lone by Laws.

1087
04:52:32,000 --> 04:52:35,000
Good afternoon.

1088
04:52:35,000 --> 04:52:38,000
We do have a presentation with Councillor Lakes or we can go straight to questions.

1089
04:52:38,000 --> 04:52:42,000
I think you may find yourself in the same shape so let me see.

1090
04:52:42,000 --> 04:52:47,000
Does anybody need a presentation that did come through executive committee?

1091
04:52:47,000 --> 04:52:52,000
I don't see anyone in need of a presentation so we will go to questions.

1092
04:52:52,000 --> 04:52:54,000
If there are any.

1093
04:52:54,000 --> 04:52:57,000
I have movers and seconders like last time.

1094
04:52:57,000 --> 04:53:01,000
I don't see any questions over to you Councillor Meand to move.

1095
04:53:01,000 --> 04:53:03,000
Yeah, this is really straight forward.

1096
04:53:03,000 --> 04:53:07,000
I know we had some questions from committee, but this is just to allow

1097
04:53:07,000 --> 04:53:14,000
CMLC to finance their costs for different projects they have through us.

1098
04:53:14,000 --> 04:53:19,000
And they will repay those through the remaining term of this yearl.

1099
04:53:19,000 --> 04:53:20,000
So it's quite straightforward.

1100
04:53:20,000 --> 04:53:21,000
We do this often.

1101
04:53:21,000 --> 04:53:24,000
So thank you and I hope you support it.

1102
04:53:24,000 --> 04:53:25,000
Thank you.

1103
04:53:25,000 --> 04:53:27,000
It's seconded by Councillor Walcott.

1104
04:53:27,000 --> 04:53:33,000
I don't see any questions for debate for you to close Councillor Meand.

1105
04:53:33,000 --> 04:53:34,000
Closed.

1106
04:53:34,000 --> 04:53:35,000
Thank you.

1107
04:53:35,000 --> 04:53:37,000
Escribe to vote everyone.

1108
04:53:48,000 --> 04:53:50,000
Mayor Gondick all the votes are in.

1109
04:53:50,000 --> 04:53:53,000
Could you display the results, please?

1110
04:53:57,000 --> 04:53:59,000
That is carried unanimously.

1111
04:53:59,000 --> 04:54:02,000
I'm going to do four first readings.

1112
04:54:02,000 --> 04:54:05,000
It's first readings only and it's four separate by us.

1113
04:54:05,000 --> 04:54:08,000
First reading a by-law, five B, twenty twenty three.

1114
04:54:08,000 --> 04:54:11,000
Anyone opposed hearing none, that's carried.

1115
04:54:11,000 --> 04:54:14,000
First reading a by-law, six B, twenty twenty three.

1116
04:54:14,000 --> 04:54:17,000
Anyone opposed hearing none, that is carried.

1117
04:54:17,000 --> 04:54:20,000
Anyone opposed hearing none, that is carried.

1118
04:54:20,000 --> 04:54:23,000
First reading a by-law, nine M, twenty twenty three.

1119
04:54:23,000 --> 04:54:25,000
Anyone opposed hearing none, that is carried.

1120
04:54:25,000 --> 04:54:31,000
Let's move it right along to item 9.3.7, which is a notice of motion,

1121
04:54:31,000 --> 04:54:32,000
addressing FOX tail.

1122
04:54:32,000 --> 04:54:35,000
Farley, Councillor Spencer, please go ahead.

1123
04:54:35,000 --> 04:54:37,000
Thank you, Mayor Gondick.

1124
04:54:37,000 --> 04:54:44,000
With throat, Calgary, we have an continuous relationship with a client called FOX tail.

1125
04:54:44,000 --> 04:54:54,000
That is unfortunately causing some havoc for a variety of pet owners in our city.

1126
04:54:54,000 --> 04:55:00,000
It's a situation in which where at its most folks will see this,

1127
04:55:00,000 --> 04:55:05,000
be able to identify once it's pulling to the out, but don't end up in a situation where it's causing

1128
04:55:05,000 --> 04:55:08,000
them any sort of grief on a daily basis.

1129
04:55:08,000 --> 04:55:13,000
But then there are these unfortunate extremes where particularly in edge communities when land

1130
04:55:13,000 --> 04:55:19,000
has been cleared for development, it's a pioneer, it's one of a variety of

1131
04:55:19,000 --> 04:55:25,000
pioneer species, so it can quickly propagate on an open field and create a lot of issues for

1132
04:55:25,000 --> 04:55:28,000
adjacent homeowners and folks.

1133
04:55:28,000 --> 04:55:34,000
It's also increasingly taking up residents in a ran around dog parks.

1134
04:55:34,000 --> 04:55:39,000
It's also going into wetlands.

1135
04:55:39,000 --> 04:55:43,000
It's unfortunately, it's a livability issue that the city is dealing with.

1136
04:55:43,000 --> 04:55:47,000
I want to say thank you to the Parks team that is assembled here today.

1137
04:55:47,000 --> 04:55:53,000
Thank you for the conversations that we've had the mobilization that you have done.

1138
04:55:53,000 --> 04:55:55,000
They've changed mowing patterns.

1139
04:55:55,000 --> 04:55:59,000
They've timed mows, one example in my neighborhood, along 52nd.

1140
04:55:59,000 --> 04:56:05,000
There's lots of this that will grow throughout the season, and I felt my anxiety growing and growing

1141
04:56:05,000 --> 04:56:09,000
and growing and then right before it went to seed, Tammy's crews were out there knocking

1142
04:56:09,000 --> 04:56:14,000
it down and it was gone before it was flying around the neighborhood.

1143
04:56:14,000 --> 04:56:20,000
So we're seeing some real efficacy around the city learning its impacts and being responsive

1144
04:56:20,000 --> 04:56:24,000
in how it interacts and attempts to mitigate it.

1145
04:56:24,000 --> 04:56:29,000
This is a species of plant that is native to our province.

1146
04:56:29,000 --> 04:56:32,000
It plays a role in our local ecology.

1147
04:56:32,000 --> 04:56:37,000
It takes care of sailing soils that other plants don't grow very well in.

1148
04:56:37,000 --> 04:56:42,000
It does a very good job of pulling salt out of the soil and creating an opportunity for other trips

1149
04:56:42,000 --> 04:56:44,000
stands to take root and grow.

1150
04:56:44,000 --> 04:56:51,000
But the focus of this notion is to address those real big stream of the way this works.

1151
04:56:51,000 --> 04:56:58,000
It's way up, which is that field where there's little control over it and you end up with

1152
04:56:58,000 --> 04:57:07,000
hordes of this on this barb that can end up causing health issues and concerns for pet owners.

1153
04:57:07,000 --> 04:57:12,000
So the idea here is to create a bylaw, increase the regulatory framework,

1154
04:57:12,000 --> 04:57:17,000
create a regulatory environment in which the city is able to move.

1155
04:57:17,000 --> 04:57:22,000
If there is a large landholder that is not moving, it's not following suit.

1156
04:57:22,000 --> 04:57:28,000
I have seen developers on a full scale and landowners.

1157
04:57:28,000 --> 04:57:34,000
Those that have gone so far to spend tens of thousands of dollars to make sure that it doesn't happen

1158
04:57:34,000 --> 04:57:38,000
year over year and those that just can return from cost.

1159
04:57:38,000 --> 04:57:46,000
So that's the hope is that we kind of fill this last gap in hole in addressing and mitigating

1160
04:57:46,000 --> 04:57:48,000
Fox tail bar that you hear locally.

1161
04:57:48,000 --> 04:57:52,000
Look forward to addressing anything in the close and I know we have very knowledgeable experts in the room

1162
04:57:52,000 --> 04:57:54,000
back in address questions.

1163
04:57:54,000 --> 04:57:56,000
Thank you, Councillor Do I have a second or for you?

1164
04:57:56,000 --> 04:57:58,000
Councillor Walker.

1165
04:57:58,000 --> 04:57:59,000
Thank you very much.

1166
04:57:59,000 --> 04:58:01,000
Councillor Shibou, you have a question?

1167
04:58:01,000 --> 04:58:07,000
Yeah, I'm not sure exactly how an administration would interpret this.

1168
04:58:07,000 --> 04:58:15,000
Is there an intent for us to create some rules around finding private entities?

1169
04:58:15,000 --> 04:58:23,000
From allowing something to grow in our private property?

1170
04:58:23,000 --> 04:58:27,000
What about naturalization areas that the city has?

1171
04:58:27,000 --> 04:58:35,000
How do we address those in relation to this being as this is a naturally occurring plant?

1172
04:58:35,000 --> 04:58:37,000
Thank you for the question.

1173
04:58:37,000 --> 04:58:41,000
Matt's Blaskey with community strategies policy and bi-law development.

1174
04:58:41,000 --> 04:58:48,000
And what I would say is in terms of rules to address this, we already have existing rules in the

1175
04:58:48,000 --> 04:58:54,000
Bi-law that allow us to address for example plants that are over certain grasses that are over a certain height.

1176
04:58:54,000 --> 04:58:57,000
And so the regulations would probably follow very similar to that.

1177
04:58:57,000 --> 04:59:03,000
But obviously we're going to spend the next couple of months before coming back, investigating exactly how that would work.

1178
04:59:03,000 --> 04:59:11,000
And what about zerry-scaping as we refer to it in some of our right of ways where we don't actually cut the grass?

1179
04:59:11,000 --> 04:59:12,000
Thank you for the question.

1180
04:59:12,000 --> 04:59:19,000
We've been able to incorporate different types of landscaping as my understanding through the existing bi-law regulations we have.

1181
04:59:19,000 --> 04:59:22,000
So I'd anticipate something very similar for this approach as well.

1182
04:59:22,000 --> 04:59:27,000
And so we don't apply this to Daniela and his doing?

1183
04:59:27,000 --> 04:59:31,000
I don't believe so. I'd have to follow up on you. I follow up with that on you.

1184
04:59:31,000 --> 04:59:33,000
Sorry, I don't know the answer to that.

1185
04:59:33,000 --> 04:59:35,000
That's not naturally occurring.

1186
04:59:35,000 --> 04:59:41,000
Anyways, I would be okay with supporting part of this.

1187
04:59:41,000 --> 04:59:46,000
I just can't support the whole thing because I really don't know what impact it might have.

1188
05:00:00,000 --> 05:00:05,000
Good to vote against it.

1189
05:00:05,000 --> 05:00:12,000
Question from Councilor Mian. Thank you. I took two questions. So if it's like a big industrial parcel, for example,

1190
05:00:12,000 --> 05:00:19,000
that's undeveloped and how do you track down the owner to have that conversation? Like is that going to be a challenge?

1191
05:00:19,000 --> 05:00:26,000
Thank you for the question. I don't Councillor Mian, I don't believe that there's going to be an issue with that. I think that existing we have the existing ability to pull from

1192
05:00:26,000 --> 05:00:32,000
help our registry who the registered owner on title is and get in contact with them directly.

1193
05:00:32,000 --> 05:00:38,000
Okay, and this is not necessarily specific to just this violent fraction, but in the event that you like mail them a ticket, they do

1194
05:00:38,000 --> 05:00:45,000
or don't pay, like what are the implications of that? Is there any, like, follow up that we can do from a property tax side or what does that look like?

1195
05:00:45,000 --> 05:00:51,000
I might look to achieve file officer to be able to answer that question.

1196
05:00:51,000 --> 05:00:53,000
Thank you for the question, Councillor Mian.

1197
05:00:53,000 --> 05:01:01,000
So yes, there are finding mechanisms under the community standards by already for longer asked and long herbaceous plants.

1198
05:01:01,000 --> 05:01:09,000
If it's to a corporation, we would send that ticket, the registered mail to the registered office.

1199
05:01:09,000 --> 05:01:18,000
And in terms of consequences, they do are required to pay those tickets, and just like an individual if they have any business with the registered office,

1200
05:01:18,000 --> 05:01:21,000
that that gets shut off until those finds are paid.

1201
05:01:22,000 --> 05:01:28,000
Perfect, thank you. And then my next question is just in relation to how it's actually you take care of lock sale barley.

1202
05:01:28,000 --> 05:01:33,000
I don't actually have a whole lot of concept on that. So is it enough for people to just cut it down?

1203
05:01:33,000 --> 05:01:41,000
Or if you send someone to ticket, would they maybe now start using pesticides, would we educate them about, you know, the appropriate use of those.

1204
05:01:41,000 --> 05:01:43,000
So this is the tricky part.

1205
05:01:43,000 --> 05:01:50,000
Unlike other long grasses and herbaceous plants, you do not want to cut it in the growing season because you're just going to make the problem worse.

1206
05:01:50,000 --> 05:01:56,000
And spread the seeds. So what we're probably looking for is some alternative methods of control.

1207
05:01:56,000 --> 05:02:01,000
Like if you are going to moe that you use a bag to capture the seeds and the plants.

1208
05:02:01,000 --> 05:02:05,000
So it stops the spread of the seeds, the neighboring properties.

1209
05:02:05,000 --> 05:02:10,000
You can hand pull it. There is a chemical application that you can use.

1210
05:02:10,000 --> 05:02:16,000
So it's just giving the city the ability to direct an alternative method of control.

1211
05:02:16,000 --> 05:02:19,000
I think is an important piece to this.

1212
05:02:19,000 --> 05:02:25,000
Okay, and just to follow up on that like we would educate folks about that so that they're not doing it incorrectly.

1213
05:02:25,000 --> 05:02:28,000
Yeah, for something like this, if it's especially new.

1214
05:02:28,000 --> 05:02:35,000
And that's part of the notice of motion that Councillor Spencer brought forward is to develop an education in awareness campaign.

1215
05:02:35,000 --> 05:02:40,000
It's important that dog owners know that the risks associated with this plant.

1216
05:02:40,000 --> 05:02:45,000
And they make sure that they keep their dog on a leash that is not running through fields of fox tail barley.

1217
05:02:45,000 --> 05:02:55,000
But it's also to bring awareness to landowners that, you know, this is a problem even though that this plant does have some value and some naturalized areas and wetlands.

1218
05:02:55,000 --> 05:03:00,000
It's just being able to identify it and address it if it is on your own property.

1219
05:03:00,000 --> 05:03:06,000
And then consistent with how we enforce almost all of our bylaws for compliance oriented.

1220
05:03:06,000 --> 05:03:13,000
We often give warnings and education before we resort to taking any type of formal enforcement action.

1221
05:03:13,000 --> 05:03:14,000
Okay, that's great.

1222
05:03:14,000 --> 05:03:17,000
And I did see the part about the awareness campaign for pet owners.

1223
05:03:17,000 --> 05:03:22,000
But I think the awareness campaign for folks who are going to have to take care of it is equally important.

1224
05:03:22,000 --> 05:03:24,000
It sounds like you've got that well underway.

1225
05:03:24,000 --> 05:03:25,000
Thank you.

1226
05:03:25,000 --> 05:03:26,000
Those are all my questions.

1227
05:03:26,000 --> 05:03:29,000
Thank you, Councillor Wong, please.

1228
05:03:29,000 --> 05:03:30,000
Thank you, Mayor.

1229
05:03:31,000 --> 05:03:36,000
Quite frankly, I'm pretty naive about this, so I'm just asking you two very quick questions.

1230
05:03:36,000 --> 05:03:43,000
Is the proliferation as fox tail barley more strongly outlined large field areas?

1231
05:03:43,000 --> 05:03:46,000
Or do we see a prolifering optimal category?

1232
05:03:46,000 --> 05:03:47,000
Please.

1233
05:03:47,000 --> 05:03:52,000
Good afternoon, Travis Shaw.

1234
05:03:52,000 --> 05:03:56,000
Urban conservation lead with Parks and Open Space.

1235
05:03:56,000 --> 05:04:00,000
Well, we do see we use a fox tail barley in a number of different areas.

1236
05:04:00,000 --> 05:04:06,000
But I think whereas most problematic is in those areas that have been stripped and greater for development.

1237
05:04:06,000 --> 05:04:08,000
They offer poor quality soils.

1238
05:04:08,000 --> 05:04:16,000
There's no, it's a bare soil condition and the fox tail propagates very, very successfully in those areas.

1239
05:04:16,000 --> 05:04:20,000
And I think those are the problematic areas that we're most concerned about.

1240
05:04:20,000 --> 05:04:25,000
And her reference to using herbicides is did I hear that correctly?

1241
05:04:25,000 --> 05:04:34,000
Through the chair that is one way of managing it, glyphosate is glyphosate application is a method.

1242
05:04:34,000 --> 05:04:43,000
It would be preferred to use a mechanical control mowing in advance of c-development or pulling.

1243
05:04:43,000 --> 05:04:47,000
So if we do use herbicides with a chemical base herbicides, is that right?

1244
05:04:47,000 --> 05:04:54,000
Did we not previously, maybe before your time, but did we not previously get away from using chemical base herbicides?

1245
05:04:54,000 --> 05:04:58,000
We like to use them in just in very selective situations.

1246
05:04:58,000 --> 05:05:06,000
It's certainly not our first option when it comes to the control of various plants.

1247
05:05:06,000 --> 05:05:14,000
There are some situations where it is the only effective method, but in this case it's not the only effective method.

1248
05:05:14,000 --> 05:05:18,000
There are other controls we can use.

1249
05:05:19,000 --> 05:05:34,000
My question is not so much about fostering more or so about herbicides only, because I'm getting complaints about us using too much of a chemical base herbicides, especially in the city communities, where we have pedestrian traffic and more, so then animal traffic and everything else.

1250
05:05:34,000 --> 05:05:36,000
Okay, thank you.

1251
05:05:36,000 --> 05:05:39,000
I don't see any other questions in the queue.

1252
05:05:39,000 --> 05:05:41,000
Over to you to close Councillor Spencer.

1253
05:05:41,000 --> 05:05:44,000
Thank you, Mayor Gondick.

1254
05:05:44,000 --> 05:05:54,000
To the bylaw that also, so for the length, one of the reasons why this came forward is for the typical height of Fox tail barley.

1255
05:05:54,000 --> 05:06:04,000
Once you get to the height that community standards can be engaged to come in and manage a field, that's right in around the time when these plants start to seat.

1256
05:06:04,000 --> 05:06:14,000
So it was inhabiting an awkward space within our current regulatory framework, so that's one of the reasons why this came forward the way that it did.

1257
05:06:14,000 --> 05:06:19,000
And one of the things that we hope to be able to fix with this.

1258
05:06:19,000 --> 05:06:29,000
To Councillor Shibou, comments about dandelions, dandelions to my best of my knowledge do not create the same stream with ability issues for pets.

1259
05:06:29,000 --> 05:06:42,000
So this is very specifically to address folks that have lost furry family members and pay $8,000 vet bills with an unfortunate interaction with this plant.

1260
05:06:42,000 --> 05:06:52,000
And then also on the chemical side of things I would just mention that it is absolutely and we have had lots and lots of interaction Councillor Wong with the city around not wanting to make this.

1261
05:06:52,000 --> 05:06:59,000
I'm not going full bore on this. There was an opportunity for where we could look at making this a noxious weed.

1262
05:06:59,000 --> 05:07:02,000
And then arming up to go after it.

1263
05:07:02,000 --> 05:07:21,000
But the only real way for us to be able to do so and actually bring it to a point where we rarely see it would be chemical, which would also have a whole host of unintended impacts and negate its role in our ecological world here in Calgary.

1264
05:07:21,000 --> 05:07:27,000
A long-term foxtail in healthy soil typically ends up getting out competed.

1265
05:07:27,000 --> 05:07:42,000
So one of the reasons why we're seeing as I understand it from interacting with the province and with parks is due to our precipitation, the amount of moisture and the soil, some of the climate impacts that we're dealing with right now.

1266
05:07:42,000 --> 05:07:52,000
The turf stands are not as healthy as they have been in the past and foxtails kind of coming in behind and taking up residents in places where it used to not be present.

1267
05:07:52,000 --> 05:08:01,000
So there's a cyclical nature to this and hopefully as the soils return to proper health, other grasses come back in and out compete.

1268
05:08:01,000 --> 05:08:09,000
It lowers in prominence. And this is apparently province wide I've seen videos in Grand Prairie and other places.

1269
05:08:09,000 --> 05:08:24,000
So I do hope you both for this. I believe there's an opportunity based whether it's on land size. There's a couple different ways we can come at drafting the community center by law on this. I think I've said enough. Please vote for this.

1270
05:08:24,000 --> 05:08:25,000
Close.

1271
05:08:25,000 --> 05:08:27,000
Thank you. You subscribe to vote everyone.

1272
05:08:39,000 --> 05:08:49,000
Mayor Gondick.

1273
05:08:49,000 --> 05:08:59,000
Mayor Gondick.

1274
05:08:59,000 --> 05:09:04,000
Councillor Sharp, your vote please. Yes. Thank you. Mayor Gondick all the votes are in.

1275
05:09:04,000 --> 05:09:09,000
Could you display the results please?

1276
05:09:09,000 --> 05:09:17,000
That was carried 14 to 1. We can answer Shabo voting against. I am now going to recommend a couple of things. Council.

1277
05:09:17,000 --> 05:09:28,000
I believe that it would make sense now to go to the quick votes on the two consent items and then do the two bylaw tabulations which we can hopefully get through before we break it 3.

1278
05:09:29,000 --> 05:09:34,000
That's the intended time of the break. We will return from that break for 4 p.m.

1279
05:09:34,000 --> 05:09:38,000
At 4 p.m. we're going to hear from the Calgary Airport Authority.

1280
05:09:38,000 --> 05:09:46,000
Immediately following that, I would recommend that we hear Councillor Demong's two notices of motion rather than waiting to after dinner.

1281
05:09:46,000 --> 05:09:56,000
I think we can manage that between 4 and 6 having those items come forward. So what I need is general consent that instead of having those two notices of motion time stand

1282
05:09:57,000 --> 05:10:02,000
to be after the dinner break. Can I just have general consent that it's to the call of the chair?

1283
05:10:02,000 --> 05:10:05,000
Anyone opposed to that?

1284
05:10:05,000 --> 05:10:14,000
Seeing and hearing none, that is great. Let's go then to the two consent agenda items that were pulled and we are just doing a vote on these.

1285
05:10:14,000 --> 05:10:21,000
The first one was 7.4. Can I get a mover for that one please?

1286
05:10:22,000 --> 05:10:27,000
It is Y-Y-Y-C matters. Councillor Penner seconded by Councillor Mian. Thank you very much.

1287
05:10:27,000 --> 05:10:32,000
So Madam Clark is the vote ready to go or do you need a minute.

1288
05:10:32,000 --> 05:10:36,000
The vote is ready to go. All right, e-scribe everyone.

1289
05:10:52,000 --> 05:10:55,000
Councillor Putments your vote please?

1290
05:10:57,000 --> 05:11:02,000
Yes. Thank you. Councillor Chu your vote please?

1291
05:11:02,000 --> 05:11:04,000
No.

1292
05:11:04,000 --> 05:11:07,000
Thank you. Mayor Gondick all the votes are in.

1293
05:11:07,000 --> 05:11:10,000
Could you display the results please?

1294
05:11:11,000 --> 05:11:16,000
That is carry 12-3 with Councillor Shibou McLean and Chu voting against.

1295
05:11:16,000 --> 05:11:21,000
The next item is 7.9 which is updates on climate calls to action.

1296
05:11:21,000 --> 05:11:28,000
Who would like to move that one? Councillor Colleewall seconded by Councillor Wong.

1297
05:11:28,000 --> 05:11:32,000
Thank you. Can we go to the vote please?

1298
05:11:40,000 --> 05:11:48,000
Councillor Putments your vote please?

1299
05:11:48,000 --> 05:11:50,000
Yes.

1300
05:11:50,000 --> 05:11:51,000
Thank you.

1301
05:11:51,000 --> 05:11:53,000
Mayor Gondick all the votes are in.

1302
05:11:53,000 --> 05:11:57,000
Could you display the results please?

1303
05:11:57,000 --> 05:12:02,000
That is carried 13-2 with Councillor McLean and Councillor Chu voting against.

1304
05:12:02,000 --> 05:12:09,000
We are on to item 10.1.1 which is a by-law tabulation for the Westbrook communities local area plan.

1305
05:12:09,000 --> 05:12:14,000
We are here to do second and third readings.

1306
05:12:14,000 --> 05:12:20,000
So I need a note that Councillor Sharpe was not present for the public hearing.

1307
05:12:20,000 --> 05:12:23,000
So Councillor Sharpe you won't be voting on this one.

1308
05:12:23,000 --> 05:12:27,000
You will be marked as absent simply because of the public hearing issue.

1309
05:12:27,000 --> 05:12:28,000
Can I get?

1310
05:12:28,000 --> 05:12:30,000
Sorry. Go ahead.

1311
05:12:30,000 --> 05:12:31,000
I'm just confirming.

1312
05:12:31,000 --> 05:12:33,000
Yep. I've got a note from clerk.

1313
05:12:33,000 --> 05:12:34,000
I want to let you know.

1314
05:12:34,000 --> 05:12:36,000
Thank you. Appreciate that.

1315
05:12:36,000 --> 05:12:38,000
Can I get a mover for this please?

1316
05:12:38,000 --> 05:12:40,000
Councillor Walcock can I get a seconder please?

1317
05:12:40,000 --> 05:12:41,000
Councillor Putments.

1318
05:12:41,000 --> 05:12:43,000
Thank you very much.

1319
05:12:43,000 --> 05:12:48,000
Could you go to eScribe to vote please?

1320
05:13:01,000 --> 05:13:03,000
Councillor Putments your vote please?

1321
05:13:03,000 --> 05:13:05,000
Yes.

1322
05:13:05,000 --> 05:13:07,000
Mayor Gondick all the votes are in.

1323
05:13:07,000 --> 05:13:11,000
Could you display the results please?

1324
05:13:11,000 --> 05:13:16,000
That is carried 12 to 2 with Councillor McLean and Councillor Chu voting against.

1325
05:13:16,000 --> 05:13:18,000
So I'll move to the readings of the by-law.

1326
05:13:18,000 --> 05:13:23,000
Second reading of by-law 5p 2023 anyone opposed?

1327
05:13:23,000 --> 05:13:27,000
Councillor Chu and McLean are opposed that is carried.

1328
05:13:27,000 --> 05:13:34,000
Third reading of by-law 5p 2023 anyone opposed Councillor McLean and Chu are opposed and that is carried.

1329
05:13:34,000 --> 05:13:38,000
Next one. Second reading of by-law 6p 2023 anyone opposed?

1330
05:13:38,000 --> 05:13:41,000
Councillor McLean and Chu are opposed that is carried.

1331
05:13:41,000 --> 05:13:44,000
Third reading of by-law 6p 2023 anyone opposed?

1332
05:13:44,000 --> 05:13:48,000
Councillor McLean and Chu are opposed and that is carried.

1333
05:13:48,000 --> 05:13:53,000
We are moving on to item 10.1.2 which is another by-law tabulation.

1334
05:13:53,000 --> 05:13:56,000
This one is for attainable homes Calgary Corporation.

1335
05:13:56,000 --> 05:13:59,000
Again, we will be doing second and third readings.

1336
05:13:59,000 --> 05:14:02,000
I need a mover for this one please Councillor Walcock.

1337
05:14:02,000 --> 05:14:05,000
Can I get a seconder please Councillor Mean.

1338
05:14:05,000 --> 05:14:08,000
Thank you and could you go to the vote.

1339
05:14:25,000 --> 05:14:28,000
Councillor Putment's your vote please?

1340
05:14:28,000 --> 05:14:29,000
Yes.

1341
05:14:29,000 --> 05:14:31,000
Thank you, Mayor Gondick Aldevoltzer.

1342
05:14:32,000 --> 05:14:34,000
Thank you, could you display the results please?

1343
05:14:34,000 --> 05:14:36,000
That is carried unanimously.

1344
05:14:36,000 --> 05:14:39,000
Second reading of by-law 5m 2023 anyone opposed?

1345
05:14:39,000 --> 05:14:43,000
Hearing none that is carried third reading of by-law 5m 2023 anyone opposed?

1346
05:14:43,000 --> 05:14:48,000
Hearing none that is carried second reading of by-law 6m 2023 anyone opposed?

1347
05:14:48,000 --> 05:14:53,000
Hearing none that is carried third reading of by-law 6m 2023 anyone opposed?

1348
05:14:53,000 --> 05:14:56,000
Hearing none that is carried.

1349
05:14:56,000 --> 05:14:58,000
Well if you are okay with it Councillor Dumong.

1350
05:14:58,000 --> 05:15:00,000
Let's kick off your notes.

1351
05:15:00,000 --> 05:15:09,000
Thank you, Mayor. Just so that I'm perfectly clear, this is the first of three note, plant, three

1352
05:15:09,000 --> 05:15:14,000
plant, notices a motion with regards to roads that I've been in contact with or in connection

1353
05:15:14,000 --> 05:15:24,000
with general manager and the director of mobility. These first two noses of motion are basically asking for information.

1354
05:15:24,000 --> 05:15:29,000
To be included in reports that are coming back with a specific direction on the information coming back to us.

1355
05:15:29,000 --> 05:15:34,000
This very first one has to do with, as most of you already know, the snow and ice control budget.

1356
05:15:34,000 --> 05:15:42,000
And the fact that once the snow and ice control budget season is over, the excess is going goes to a reserve.

1357
05:15:42,000 --> 05:15:48,000
And if anything is over and above that, that goes into a completely different reserve to be brought back out at another time.

1358
05:15:48,000 --> 05:15:55,000
I'm simply saying that in this situation, once the reserve is full, that this surplus should go back to snow and ice.

1359
05:15:55,000 --> 05:16:09,000
Department control for either cleaning up hot holes, whether it be improving snow and ice depots or anything along those lines.

1360
05:16:09,000 --> 05:16:21,000
But basically to have the dedicated funding that we have set aside for snow and ice control to go towards snow and ice control and any of the impacts that snow and ice has on our roads and sea and streets.

1361
05:16:21,000 --> 05:16:26,000
So please vote in favor, very simplistic. You will have enough chance.

1362
05:16:26,000 --> 05:16:30,000
It's just going to be part of a report coming back to us.

1363
05:16:30,000 --> 05:16:34,000
Thank you. Can I get a second or on this one, please? Council.

1364
05:16:34,000 --> 05:16:37,000
Thank you. Over to you, Councillor Schibel.

1365
05:16:37,000 --> 05:16:40,000
Yeah, I'm just looking over the notice of motion.

1366
05:16:40,000 --> 05:16:46,000
It does say the report back, but it doesn't say to who and or when.

1367
05:16:46,000 --> 05:16:51,000
So any, and further, be it resolved, the administration report back on enhancements or amendments.

1368
05:16:51,000 --> 05:16:55,000
Where's it going and when do we have this administration?

1369
05:16:55,000 --> 05:17:06,000
I may any idea on how quickly they could report back on this.

1370
05:17:06,000 --> 05:17:10,000
Too many likes on.

1371
05:17:10,000 --> 05:17:13,000
There you go.

1372
05:17:14,000 --> 05:17:16,000
Here's work. Okay. We'll try this one.

1373
05:17:16,000 --> 05:17:19,000
So indeed, we have a snow and ice control policy that's coming back.

1374
05:17:19,000 --> 05:17:21,000
Quarter three of this year.

1375
05:17:21,000 --> 05:17:28,000
I believe it's the CDC. So we would need this direction into that report back on the snow and ice control policy.

1376
05:17:28,000 --> 05:17:34,000
So Q3. So that should be inserted into this.

1377
05:17:34,000 --> 05:17:37,000
Or you're saying this already a report coming back.

1378
05:17:37,000 --> 05:17:39,000
There's already a report coming back.

1379
05:17:39,000 --> 05:17:42,000
So then this begs the question, is this not redundant then?

1380
05:17:42,000 --> 05:17:48,000
Additional information would help us craft that report and make sure we consider every opportunity.

1381
05:17:48,000 --> 05:17:55,000
I always prefer to see some specific directions on when to come back and through what committee.

1382
05:17:55,000 --> 05:18:00,000
But I'll listen to consider along, I guess.

1383
05:18:00,000 --> 05:18:02,000
Thank you, Councillor Wong, please.

1384
05:18:02,000 --> 05:18:05,000
Thank you, Mayor. Just a point of clarification.

1385
05:18:05,000 --> 05:18:10,000
The excess dollars of snick is coming back to operations.

1386
05:18:10,000 --> 05:18:16,000
But is that specifically for roads, sidewalks, curves, or does also include pathways.

1387
05:18:16,000 --> 05:18:20,000
And perhaps, are you self-reconstant among cancer?

1388
05:18:20,000 --> 05:18:22,000
No one has control program.

1389
05:18:22,000 --> 05:18:26,000
If there is excess funds at the end of the year, it goes into reserve.

1390
05:18:26,000 --> 05:18:32,000
That covers road sidewalks, pathways, as well as transit snow clearing.

1391
05:18:32,000 --> 05:18:39,000
Once that reserve reaches its cap at 50 million, that's when that overflow would go into general reserves.

1392
05:18:39,000 --> 05:18:43,000
And the fiscal stability reserve at the end of the year.

1393
05:18:43,000 --> 05:18:51,000
I mean, the question to Councillor Demongon's close was the intention to have it re-deverted to take care of pathways.

1394
05:18:51,000 --> 05:18:55,000
Both roadway pathways, as well as park pathways, perhaps.

1395
05:18:55,000 --> 05:18:58,000
Councillor Demongon can answer in this close. Thank you.

1396
05:18:58,000 --> 05:19:00,000
Right, Councillor Mean, please.

1397
05:19:03,000 --> 05:19:08,000
Okay, sorry. My first question is the clarification, which is just you said that it goes up to that 50 million.

1398
05:19:08,000 --> 05:19:15,000
And then anything that would have gone into FSR is now going to come back if this is directed towards these mobility improvements.

1399
05:19:15,000 --> 05:19:18,000
Sorry, so the 50 million is the cap.

1400
05:19:18,000 --> 05:19:23,000
So the snow and ice control program, if we ever got over 50 million in the reserve,

1401
05:19:23,000 --> 05:19:28,000
currently it flows into the fiscal, fiscal sustainability reserve.

1402
05:19:28,000 --> 05:19:34,000
What is proposed here is to consider whether that money should be used for other sites,

1403
05:19:34,000 --> 05:19:37,000
so in ice control activities instead of going to that reserve.

1404
05:19:37,000 --> 05:19:39,000
Okay, just over the 15.

1405
05:19:39,000 --> 05:19:41,000
Okay, that's the clarification I needed.

1406
05:19:41,000 --> 05:19:46,000
And I guess in terms of, and this is more of a comment because I support this, I think it's a good idea.

1407
05:19:46,000 --> 05:19:48,000
It's just that.

1408
05:19:48,000 --> 05:19:57,000
And I also support mobility improvements, but I guess the question I do have is like we always hear about a desire for just more sneak improvements in general.

1409
05:19:57,000 --> 05:20:04,000
And so I'm not sure I have a good sense of like how much we are always having surpluses year over year over year.

1410
05:20:04,000 --> 05:20:09,000
And like if we did, you know, add more money to the sneak budget to go from the seven days,

1411
05:20:09,000 --> 05:20:11,000
no plan to the six days, no plan.

1412
05:20:11,000 --> 05:20:16,000
And that was great, but one of the challenges is that's like, same, more or less same, but faster,

1413
05:20:16,000 --> 05:20:22,000
whereas residents somewhat want more that we didn't used to have not necessarily faster.

1414
05:20:22,000 --> 05:20:26,000
And so I guess the broader conversation I would want to have at some point

1415
05:20:26,000 --> 05:20:30,000
is just like, you know, do we redirect this money after?

1416
05:20:30,000 --> 05:20:34,000
Because it's safer the way this is the way it's structured, where do we really look at,

1417
05:20:34,000 --> 05:20:38,000
can we do more within the sneak budget that we have and should we be doing more?

1418
05:20:38,000 --> 05:20:42,000
Maybe I'll just add that to part of that sneak policy review.

1419
05:20:42,000 --> 05:20:46,000
Would be consider all of those things, speed coverage, the things we want to do.

1420
05:20:46,000 --> 05:20:49,000
And I have a full some review of that program.

1421
05:20:49,000 --> 05:20:53,000
Okay, well, I'll look forward to having that conversation a little bit more.

1422
05:20:53,000 --> 05:20:56,000
I'll just say, you know, thanks to Councillor Demung for thinking of this.

1423
05:20:56,000 --> 05:20:58,000
I think it's sensible.

1424
05:20:58,000 --> 05:21:01,000
Thank you, Councillor Wayne, please.

1425
05:21:01,000 --> 05:21:02,000
Thanks.

1426
05:21:02,000 --> 05:21:11,000
My question is kind of, if we have big snowiers, you use this all up, but we're also going to have big pot holders.

1427
05:21:11,000 --> 05:21:22,000
So we need still need access to that money, and does this not bury the problem where council might not adequately find what you need to truly fix the problem?

1428
05:21:22,000 --> 05:21:27,000
Thank you for the question.

1429
05:21:27,000 --> 05:21:33,000
Indeed, we have a pavement maintenance budget that we actively manage on whether it's pot-hole-filling or

1430
05:21:33,000 --> 05:21:35,000
pavement overlay.

1431
05:21:35,000 --> 05:21:40,000
So we look at highest and best use of those funds to make sure we're driving values.

1432
05:21:40,000 --> 05:21:43,000
So we would work that program as well.

1433
05:21:43,000 --> 05:21:49,000
So it's not like there's a currently deficit that we're very thoughtful of both the investments in pavement,

1434
05:21:49,000 --> 05:21:54,000
but we have seen over the long-term a slow degradation, which through the funding in the fall.

1435
05:21:54,000 --> 05:22:01,000
We've stemmed and have a certain level of pavement quality that we'll hold with those pavement management plans.

1436
05:22:01,000 --> 05:22:09,000
Yeah, like I was going to bring a motion arising off of this for pavement quality index where you guys are actually calculating and they're pretty good at figuring out how many falls.

1437
05:22:09,000 --> 05:22:12,000
We're going to have based on that initial investment.

1438
05:22:12,000 --> 05:22:14,000
I'll hold off and do it as a norm.

1439
05:22:14,000 --> 05:22:24,000
But I'm just very concerned that it's a good idea, but I just want to make sure we're not burying it in budgets and not adequately finding to truly get to the root of the problem.

1440
05:22:24,000 --> 05:22:26,000
And that's where I'm just kind of torn with this.

1441
05:22:26,000 --> 05:22:29,000
But thank you.

1442
05:22:29,000 --> 05:22:30,000
Thank you, Councillor.

1443
05:22:30,000 --> 05:22:33,000
I don't see anybody else in the queue over to you to close council or demand.

1444
05:22:33,000 --> 05:22:43,000
And yes, that is exactly the point of this is to not bury it in budgets, but to allow roads and mobility to actually use the budgets that have been set aside for them.

1445
05:22:44,000 --> 05:22:47,000
With regards to the report back.

1446
05:22:47,000 --> 05:22:52,000
In the original notice of motion that I had filed, it had a report back date.

1447
05:22:52,000 --> 05:22:59,000
I adjusted amended it at executive because we weren't entirely sure when the report back was specifically going to come.

1448
05:22:59,000 --> 05:23:01,000
It was originally in Q 2.

1449
05:23:01,000 --> 05:23:03,000
It's been moved to Q 3.

1450
05:23:03,000 --> 05:23:12,000
I'm trying my best to allow mobility to have the luxury of being able to determine what time frame they need for this report to come back.

1451
05:23:12,000 --> 05:23:16,000
Tensitably it is for at this moment, Q 3.

1452
05:23:16,000 --> 05:23:18,000
Two weeks ago it was Q 2.

1453
05:23:18,000 --> 05:23:26,000
So that's why I'm trying to give mobility as much leverage as possible for the report back date.

1454
05:23:26,000 --> 05:23:33,000
If you insist you want to report back date in the notice of motion, I'm certainly willing to accept that as a friendly amendment.

1455
05:23:33,000 --> 05:23:38,000
I don't particularly see that as requirement because we do know it is coming back to that committee.

1456
05:23:38,000 --> 05:23:42,000
With regards to the pathways, yes, absolutely.

1457
05:23:42,000 --> 05:23:49,000
This is going back into the overall budget for snick which is partially responsible for pathway clearing and pathway maintenance.

1458
05:23:49,000 --> 05:23:53,000
So yes, absolutely pathways would be would perform a part of this.

1459
05:23:53,000 --> 05:23:58,000
As I said before, this is notice of motion one with regards to roads.

1460
05:23:58,000 --> 05:24:00,000
There will be two more.

1461
05:24:00,000 --> 05:24:01,000
One is following this immediately.

1462
05:24:01,000 --> 05:24:05,000
The third one is going to be about payment quality index surprisingly enough.

1463
05:24:05,000 --> 05:24:07,000
But there has to be a great deal of conversation on that.

1464
05:24:07,000 --> 05:24:09,000
And I can talk about that another time.

1465
05:24:09,000 --> 05:24:11,000
Please vote for this. Thank you.

1466
05:24:11,000 --> 05:24:13,000
Point of procedure.

1467
05:24:13,000 --> 05:24:19,000
Do we not have to specify which committee it goes to because I don't believe it says that here.

1468
05:24:19,000 --> 05:24:22,000
I don't believe it has to be specified.

1469
05:24:22,000 --> 05:24:24,000
I don't think that's part of procedure.

1470
05:24:24,000 --> 05:24:29,000
I think there is an understanding where this would go to because it's called mobility infrastructure.

1471
05:24:29,000 --> 05:24:31,000
So I don't think that's necessary.

1472
05:24:31,000 --> 05:24:34,000
Madam clerk, could you clarify please.

1473
05:24:35,000 --> 05:24:40,000
There is no procedure by law requirement to specify which committee the item is directed to.

1474
05:24:40,000 --> 05:24:45,000
The mandates of each committee, however, are set out within the procedure by law.

1475
05:24:45,000 --> 05:24:49,000
So the mandate of for the work is guided.

1476
05:24:49,000 --> 05:24:52,000
But there's no specific requirement within the motion.

1477
05:24:52,000 --> 05:24:55,000
Thank you.

1478
05:24:55,000 --> 05:24:58,000
Let's go to the vote please in eScribe.

1479
05:25:04,000 --> 05:25:14,000
Thank you.

1480
05:25:14,000 --> 05:25:16,000
Councillor Putments, your vote please.

1481
05:25:16,000 --> 05:25:17,000
Yes.

1482
05:25:17,000 --> 05:25:18,000
Thank you.

1483
05:25:18,000 --> 05:25:20,000
Councillor Corraw, your vote please.

1484
05:25:20,000 --> 05:25:21,000
Yes.

1485
05:25:21,000 --> 05:25:22,000
Thank you.

1486
05:25:22,000 --> 05:25:24,000
Mayor Gondick, all the votes are in.

1487
05:25:24,000 --> 05:25:27,000
Could you display the results please?

1488
05:25:27,000 --> 05:25:29,000
That is carried unanimously.

1489
05:25:29,000 --> 05:25:31,000
Council, we have just under 20 minutes.

1490
05:25:31,000 --> 05:25:33,000
I think we can get through the next one too.

1491
05:25:33,000 --> 05:25:34,000
Please go ahead.

1492
05:25:34,000 --> 05:25:36,000
I'll try and do this very quickly.

1493
05:25:36,000 --> 05:25:37,000
I don't know if I can do this.

1494
05:25:37,000 --> 05:25:38,000
Okay.

1495
05:25:38,000 --> 05:25:39,000
I'll actually slow down.

1496
05:25:39,000 --> 05:25:44,000
This is again with regards to parking revenue for street services.

1497
05:25:44,000 --> 05:25:46,000
The just of this notice of motion.

1498
05:25:46,000 --> 05:25:47,000
Well, backing up a little bit.

1499
05:25:47,000 --> 05:25:53,000
This notice of motion yet again is going to be tying in with the report that's coming back to council three committee.

1500
05:25:53,000 --> 05:25:57,000
So you will have another crack at this when that happens.

1501
05:25:57,000 --> 05:25:59,000
But what it's doing is it's asking for.

1502
05:25:59,000 --> 05:26:17,000
We're adding information with regards to the idea of using some of the parking revenue that we harvest so to speak and put it back into the community with regards to making the areas that are.

1503
05:26:17,000 --> 05:26:20,000
I had this way better at executive.

1504
05:26:20,000 --> 05:26:28,000
The idea is to actually use the the funds of parking control to actually improve the pedestrian realm and or the areas around it.

1505
05:26:28,000 --> 05:26:37,000
Whether that be even proofing the sidewalk where you park or whether being fixing this lamp post or the street lantern that that that is is situated nearby.

1506
05:26:37,000 --> 05:26:49,000
The entire idea is to actually make you and and and and and the public feel more comfortable and safe by using the proceeds of their own parking in order to.

1507
05:26:49,000 --> 05:26:56,000
Make a better realm to park in.

1508
05:26:56,000 --> 05:26:57,000
Thank you.

1509
05:26:57,000 --> 05:27:02,000
Seconded by council.

1510
05:27:02,000 --> 05:27:08,000
Yeah, this one is more interesting to me and in some ways, but I guess the.

1511
05:27:08,000 --> 05:27:23,000
The question I have is that there are some areas like the city obviously don't have on street parking revenue and so like I just want to make sure this isn't going to contribute to some areas like getting much more treatment and so is all the parking revenue still.

1512
05:27:23,000 --> 05:27:30,000
That would have lead distributed across the area or across the city or is it targeted to the area.

1513
05:27:30,000 --> 05:27:40,000
I think that's a piece of work we would would do certainly the revenue is generated in specific areas where we would have street lighting and sidewalks, but that's something we would explore with the.

1514
05:27:40,000 --> 05:27:43,000
The entire review of all the parking revenue.

1515
05:27:43,000 --> 05:27:55,000
And we would consider that whether we would focus it in those areas or be able to use it city wide and come back to council for approval.

1516
05:27:55,000 --> 05:27:58,000
Oh, there we go. Sorry to be a second to get my bike on there.

1517
05:27:58,000 --> 05:28:02,000
Okay, yeah, so that will be a decision for another day sort of what you're saying.

1518
05:28:02,000 --> 05:28:04,000
Okay, that's very interesting to me.

1519
05:28:04,000 --> 05:28:08,000
I think I might struggle to support it if it if it's only tailored to the one area.

1520
05:28:08,000 --> 05:28:21,000
I understand that there's like some great messaging there to say like your parking goes towards making this area beautiful but parking is one of those things that everyone in the city contributes to right you might come to an area and park in that area.

1521
05:28:21,000 --> 05:28:25,000
And so I think it's really important that we do share that wealth is broadly as possible.

1522
05:28:25,000 --> 05:28:31,000
So that's just my perspective, but I'm happy to support this today so we can have further discussion.

1523
05:28:31,000 --> 05:28:33,000
Thank you, Councillor Wong please.

1524
05:28:34,000 --> 05:28:36,000
Thank you, Mayor.

1525
05:28:36,000 --> 05:28:43,000
Mr. Morgan, you know, I've had a lot of conversations about parking in the last three months.

1526
05:28:43,000 --> 05:28:54,000
When we're talking about these parking revenue, are we talking about the parking revenue as somebody to possibly money in park plus or is it also including park permit fees.

1527
05:28:54,000 --> 05:29:05,000
It would be I think the vision was the the park plus revenues the on street that we have in the in the downtown and the outline was the focus but I don't think we're limited to looking at that.

1528
05:29:05,000 --> 05:29:13,000
Certainly the fees that we have another under the residential parking program or design for cost recovery for those programs.

1529
05:29:13,000 --> 05:29:21,000
So we set those fees to make sure it's cost recovery so I wouldn't see us taking that value out because it's already serving a purpose.

1530
05:29:21,000 --> 05:29:31,000
We also have the market market permit revenues which is new revenue, right, so there's a substantial remage generation there.

1531
05:29:31,000 --> 05:29:45,000
The concerns obviously you've heard from word seven constituents for the residential parking premises number one they are the increase of fees and also on top of that there are certain situations where residents are unable to pay for the fees.

1532
05:29:45,000 --> 05:30:00,000
We're getting a way to prohibited for them market demand ones again people who are living in condominium seniors and condominiums they're saying $100 a month $200 a year on top of our seniors income is just.

1533
05:30:00,000 --> 05:30:18,120
And an untenable and there are looking for a fair entry relief now. So again, I'd say they're wanting if this is the first party to look at or as opposed to taking care of our residents, our seniors who are challenged in compliance to pay papers of these parking programs.

1534
05:30:19,000 --> 05:30:29,840
No too far to the other. They lived in these residents of the corridors. That's a long time. And we had a new view on that. So I would like to thank we take care again there for a bit of a little bit of a question before we take care of.

1535
05:30:30,000 --> 05:30:32,760
you're using money for improvements.

1536
05:30:32,760 --> 05:30:36,640
The other thing is also around the notion that parking revenue

1537
05:30:36,640 --> 05:30:39,760
and access, some of it goes back to BIAs

1538
05:30:39,760 --> 05:30:42,800
and community associations for that same purpose

1539
05:30:42,800 --> 05:30:45,560
to be an improved public realm in public art and everything else.

1540
05:30:45,560 --> 05:30:48,480
So again, is this complimenting or replacing

1541
05:30:48,480 --> 05:30:53,480
or hurting the BIAs and CAs that added opportunity?

1542
05:30:53,480 --> 05:30:56,280
I think that would be all encompassing in the Ruby

1543
05:30:56,280 --> 05:30:57,680
with the returns of the Calgary parking

1544
05:30:57,680 --> 05:30:59,640
throwing in the business model that we use.

1545
05:30:59,640 --> 05:31:03,200
So certainly, the topics like the market areas

1546
05:31:03,200 --> 05:31:05,840
would be part of that as far as the residential parking

1547
05:31:05,840 --> 05:31:07,680
zone and market permits.

1548
05:31:07,680 --> 05:31:10,960
We are following council direction as far as those permit fees.

1549
05:31:10,960 --> 05:31:13,120
But certainly, we would have that discussion

1550
05:31:13,120 --> 05:31:17,480
when those policies come back as part

1551
05:31:17,480 --> 05:31:20,080
of the Calgary parking authority review.

1552
05:31:20,080 --> 05:31:22,880
Last thing is, you know, I've talked about expanding

1553
05:31:22,880 --> 05:31:24,400
part plus areas in certain areas.

1554
05:31:24,400 --> 05:31:26,800
And it's a capital cost for you to do that.

1555
05:31:26,800 --> 05:31:31,800
And the revenues they used offset the capital cost before,

1556
05:31:33,160 --> 05:31:34,960
we returned it back to other programs

1557
05:31:34,960 --> 05:31:37,560
or fee subsidies in it.

1558
05:31:37,560 --> 05:31:40,240
Again, I think that'd be part of that return review.

1559
05:31:40,240 --> 05:31:42,760
What is the business model when we do capital investments?

1560
05:31:42,760 --> 05:31:45,200
How do we have that money, whether it's through revenue

1561
05:31:45,200 --> 05:31:46,040
or some other means?

1562
05:31:46,040 --> 05:31:49,040
So we can certainly make sure we've got a flag

1563
05:31:49,040 --> 05:31:52,000
for looking at that as part of that review.

1564
05:31:52,000 --> 05:31:56,600
So this is just coming back to as a report back to council.

1565
05:31:56,600 --> 05:31:58,000
This is not a directive at the moment.

1566
05:31:58,000 --> 05:32:03,440
So I would love to work with yourself and Councilor Demong

1567
05:32:03,440 --> 05:32:06,640
to make sure that we're not hurting existing programs.

1568
05:32:06,640 --> 05:32:09,800
They're assisting residents who pay parking

1569
05:32:09,800 --> 05:32:12,080
that we allocate the dollars in a way.

1570
05:32:12,080 --> 05:32:12,800
So thank you.

1571
05:32:15,080 --> 05:32:15,920
Thank you.

1572
05:32:15,920 --> 05:32:17,840
I don't see anybody else in the queue, correct?

1573
05:32:17,840 --> 05:32:18,640
There is someone.

1574
05:32:20,040 --> 05:32:21,960
Oh, Councillor Crock, please go ahead.

1575
05:32:21,960 --> 05:32:26,720
Yeah, I felt the need to jump in,

1576
05:32:26,720 --> 05:32:28,920
because this is a very interesting conversation.

1577
05:32:28,920 --> 05:32:33,920
And I was unsure about whether I was supportive

1578
05:32:35,880 --> 05:32:40,160
of considering what Councilor Demong's notice emotion was looking at.

1579
05:32:40,160 --> 05:32:44,760
And I had a long conversation with Director McLeod

1580
05:32:44,760 --> 05:32:49,440
and he texted back and forth with General Manager Morgan

1581
05:32:49,440 --> 05:32:50,760
and talked with Chris Lasson.

1582
05:32:50,760 --> 05:32:52,760
Just to give a little bit of background,

1583
05:32:52,760 --> 05:32:55,160
Councilor and Parking Authority used to be sort of like a holy home

1584
05:32:55,160 --> 05:32:56,000
to city area.

1585
05:32:56,000 --> 05:32:59,880
It was a separate quasi-separate organization

1586
05:32:59,880 --> 05:33:03,760
that delivered a very healthy return to the city.

1587
05:33:05,160 --> 05:33:08,360
So there is a question now that it is being brought in house

1588
05:33:08,360 --> 05:33:10,880
as to where that money go.

1589
05:33:12,320 --> 05:33:14,200
I think when we think about parking funds,

1590
05:33:14,200 --> 05:33:17,320
it's important to understand that it's a fee for service.

1591
05:33:17,320 --> 05:33:20,280
It's a fee for service that's requested by local merchants

1592
05:33:20,280 --> 05:33:22,040
to generate the demand.

1593
05:33:22,040 --> 05:33:24,640
And it's a fee for service managing parking

1594
05:33:24,640 --> 05:33:26,120
that turns a profit.

1595
05:33:26,120 --> 05:33:30,040
And so I'm interested in Councilor Means argument

1596
05:33:30,040 --> 05:33:32,720
that it should be dispersed broadly and it used

1597
05:33:32,720 --> 05:33:34,360
to go into General Revenue.

1598
05:33:34,360 --> 05:33:37,360
But we also established parking benefit districts

1599
05:33:37,360 --> 05:33:40,360
to help support the areas that were actually generating

1600
05:33:40,360 --> 05:33:42,400
this revenue source for us.

1601
05:33:42,400 --> 05:33:45,280
And I think these are all very important conversations

1602
05:33:45,280 --> 05:33:45,960
that we need to have.

1603
05:33:45,960 --> 05:33:49,080
So I'm happy to support the notice emotion

1604
05:33:49,080 --> 05:33:50,560
that's before us.

1605
05:33:50,560 --> 05:33:53,840
I'd happy to consider these things holistically.

1606
05:33:53,840 --> 05:33:56,280
And I look forward to debating it,

1607
05:33:56,280 --> 05:34:01,080
you know, substantially when the best recommendations

1608
05:34:01,080 --> 05:34:02,680
of administration are before us.

1609
05:34:06,600 --> 05:34:08,840
OK, thank you for those comments, Councillor Croy.

1610
05:34:08,840 --> 05:34:11,640
I am not seeing anyone else in the queue.

1611
05:34:11,640 --> 05:34:14,120
So we'll head back over to you at Councilor Means.

1612
05:34:14,120 --> 05:34:16,200
Yes, in answer to a couple of the questions,

1613
05:34:16,200 --> 05:34:18,600
it is meant to be in complimentary

1614
05:34:18,600 --> 05:34:20,400
to the BIA situations.

1615
05:34:20,400 --> 05:34:24,000
It is not meant to be restrictive in any way that in any way

1616
05:34:24,000 --> 05:34:26,320
that to that direction.

1617
05:34:26,320 --> 05:34:27,640
And to Councillor Means, thank you

1618
05:34:27,640 --> 05:34:29,200
or forgot to mention that in my opening

1619
05:34:29,200 --> 05:34:32,760
that this is not specific to the area that you're actually parking.

1620
05:34:32,760 --> 05:34:35,800
It is designed to, or at least my impression and a way

1621
05:34:35,800 --> 05:34:40,040
to see what the administration impression is when they come back.

1622
05:34:40,040 --> 05:34:44,080
But my intention is to take a look at parking revenue in General

1623
05:34:44,080 --> 05:34:46,840
and look at what our pedestrian realm is looking like

1624
05:34:46,840 --> 05:34:50,200
and see if there's something that we can do to help improve that

1625
05:34:50,200 --> 05:34:53,840
whether at the lighting structures, concrete,

1626
05:34:53,840 --> 05:34:55,680
or any other pedestrian realm.

1627
05:34:55,680 --> 05:34:58,080
But no, it is not specific to the location

1628
05:34:58,080 --> 05:34:59,440
that you're actually parking.

1629
05:34:59,440 --> 05:35:00,760
I should have been more clear on that.

1630
05:35:00,760 --> 05:35:01,960
Thank you very much.

1631
05:35:01,960 --> 05:35:02,800
Close.

1632
05:35:05,520 --> 05:35:06,040
Great.

1633
05:35:06,040 --> 05:35:07,840
And there is a seconder on this.

1634
05:35:07,840 --> 05:35:09,920
Sorry, I'm just getting into the chair.

1635
05:35:09,920 --> 05:35:11,480
Councillor Croywell, brilliant.

1636
05:35:11,480 --> 05:35:13,880
OK, well, then with that, we will head over to East

1637
05:35:13,880 --> 05:35:14,880
Croywell.

1638
05:35:34,880 --> 05:35:37,880
Councillor Croywell, please.

1639
05:35:37,880 --> 05:35:38,880
I mean, yes.

1640
05:35:38,880 --> 05:35:39,880
Thank you.

1641
05:35:39,880 --> 05:35:41,880
Councillor Putments, you're both please.

1642
05:35:41,880 --> 05:35:42,880
Yes.

1643
05:35:42,880 --> 05:35:43,880
Thank you.

1644
05:35:43,880 --> 05:35:45,880
Councillor Chu, your vote, please.

1645
05:35:45,880 --> 05:35:46,880
Yes.

1646
05:35:46,880 --> 05:35:47,880
Thank you.

1647
05:35:47,880 --> 05:35:49,880
Deputy Mayor Me and all the votes are in.

1648
05:35:49,880 --> 05:35:54,880
Please display themselves.

1649
05:35:54,880 --> 05:35:56,880
And that is carried unanimously.

1650
05:35:56,880 --> 05:35:58,880
OK, well, with that.

1651
05:35:58,880 --> 05:35:59,880
Oh.

1652
05:35:59,880 --> 05:36:01,880
Councillor Demong.

1653
05:36:01,880 --> 05:36:02,880
Please go ahead.

1654
05:36:02,880 --> 05:36:03,880
I know this is terribly unusual.

1655
05:36:03,880 --> 05:36:05,880
I should have said it in my close.

1656
05:36:05,880 --> 05:36:08,880
I will be working on that third notice of motion with regards to PQI.

1657
05:36:08,880 --> 05:36:12,880
And if anybody is interested, just reach out to my office and or General Manager

1658
05:36:12,880 --> 05:36:13,880
Todd.

1659
05:36:13,880 --> 05:36:14,880
Yeah.

1660
05:36:14,880 --> 05:36:15,880
And we'll get that straight and don't.

1661
05:36:15,880 --> 05:36:16,880
Thank you.

1662
05:36:16,880 --> 05:36:17,880
No worries.

1663
05:36:17,880 --> 05:36:19,880
Thanks, Councillor Demong.

1664
05:36:19,880 --> 05:36:23,880
So the plan now, team, is that we are going to probably adjourn.

1665
05:36:23,880 --> 05:36:25,880
And then we will recess.

1666
05:36:25,880 --> 05:36:27,880
I want to adjourn, but we're not allowed.

1667
05:36:27,880 --> 05:36:29,880
We will recess.

1668
05:36:29,880 --> 05:36:33,880
And until 4 o'clock, when we come back with a concrete airport authority.

1669
05:36:33,880 --> 05:36:35,880
And then following that, if you haven't been able to keep along.

1670
05:36:35,880 --> 05:36:36,880
We've been blasting through.

1671
05:36:36,880 --> 05:36:39,880
We just have, I believe, three more items in close session.

1672
05:36:39,880 --> 05:36:44,880
So with that, we will recess to the call of the chair or till 4 o'clock.

1673
05:36:44,880 --> 05:36:45,880
Till 4 o'clock.

1674
05:36:45,880 --> 05:36:46,880
OK, till 4 o'clock.

1675
05:37:06,880 --> 05:37:08,880
Thank you.

1676
05:37:36,880 --> 05:37:38,880
Thank you.

1677
05:38:06,880 --> 05:38:08,880
Thank you.

1678
05:38:36,880 --> 05:38:37,880
Thank you.

1679
05:39:06,880 --> 05:39:07,880
Thank you.

1680
05:39:36,880 --> 05:39:37,880
Thank you.

1681
05:40:06,880 --> 05:40:07,880
Thank you.

1682
05:40:36,880 --> 05:40:37,880
Thank you.

1683
05:41:06,880 --> 05:41:07,880
Thank you.

1684
05:41:36,880 --> 05:41:37,880
Thank you.

1685
05:42:06,880 --> 05:42:07,880
Thank you.

1686
05:42:36,880 --> 05:42:37,880
Thank you.

1687
05:43:06,880 --> 05:43:07,880
Thank you.

1688
05:43:36,880 --> 05:43:37,880
Thank you.

1689

Local government meeting.

1690

1702

Local government meeting.

1713
06:36:30,000 --> 06:36:54,000
All right, it's welcome back everyone, clerks can we get a roll call, please.

1714
06:36:54,000 --> 06:37:00,000
Thank you, Deputy Mayor, me and on the roll, Councillor Carrot.

1719
06:37:42,000 --> 06:37:50,000
Okay, and with that we are going to move on to item 10.2.1, which is a presentation from the Calgary Airport Authority.

1720
06:37:50,000 --> 06:37:58,000
So you'd like to join us at the podium? We'd love to hear from you.

1721
06:37:58,000 --> 06:38:02,000
Thank you, and if you could advance the slide, I would appreciate that.

1722
06:38:02,000 --> 06:38:08,000
Good afternoon, Mayor, and City of Calgary Councillors. We appreciate the opportunity to join you today

1723
06:38:08,000 --> 06:38:16,000
for our annual appointment and update meeting. My name is Matthew Heffranon. I'm the chair of the Board of Directors for the Calgary Airport Authority.

1724
06:38:16,000 --> 06:38:22,000
I'm pleased to be here, along with my fellow directors, and the authorities' executive team for our annual report to you.

1725
06:38:22,000 --> 06:38:30,000
It is a testament to the combined talent of the entire airport community, how far our airport has come over the course of one year.

1726
06:38:30,000 --> 06:38:40,000
From near shutdown to growth in nearly all areas of the business, it's clear that why why C success can be attributed to the grit of the airport's people

1727
06:38:40,000 --> 06:38:46,000
at the heart and center of it all? Our recovery expands beyond passenger statistics.

1728
06:38:46,000 --> 06:38:52,000
It's about so much more. Working hand in glove with our partners to build flourishing businesses,

1729
06:38:52,000 --> 06:38:58,000
paying down debts, and seeking solutions to incur less, and generate more.

1730
06:38:58,000 --> 06:39:04,000
Tirelessly caring for the safety, operations, maintenance, and restoration of the facility.

1731
06:39:04,000 --> 06:39:08,000
Notlessly advocating for the vital support of Canada's aviation sector.

1732
06:39:08,000 --> 06:39:14,000
Holding steady through the growing pains and showing up to support all of our partners.

1733
06:39:14,000 --> 06:39:22,000
Expanding our collective mindset to create a more diverse, more inclusive, welcoming, and authentic airport community.

1734
06:39:22,000 --> 06:39:30,000
Taking accountability to operate more sustainably, working towards our goal of net zero commitment.

1735
06:39:30,000 --> 06:39:36,000
Our planning for long-term prosperous future that will benefit our airport, city, and region,

1736
06:39:36,000 --> 06:39:40,000
in the citizens to whom we owe social responsibility.

1737
06:39:40,000 --> 06:39:44,000
Maintaining a steadfast commitment to delivering positive guest experiences,

1738
06:39:44,000 --> 06:39:50,000
while always prioritizing the safety and security of those who travel and work at YYC.

1739
06:39:50,000 --> 06:39:56,000
I would not like to take a moment to introduce you to the members of the Board of Directors of the Authority,

1740
06:39:56,000 --> 06:40:00,000
joining from the Calgary Chamber.

1741
06:40:00,000 --> 06:40:04,000
The appointees are myself, and joining virtually are David Blom,

1742
06:40:04,000 --> 06:40:10,000
Don Kormack, Heather Kennedy, James Midwinter, Manjit Minhoss, Craig Richmond,

1743
06:40:10,000 --> 06:40:14,000
Andrea Robertson, and Sheldon Trotter.

1744
06:40:14,000 --> 06:40:18,000
From Rockyview County, our appointee is Randy Shorong.

1745
06:40:19,000 --> 06:40:24,000
Our transport Canada appointees are Andrea Gertz, and Phil Schibel.

1746
06:40:24,000 --> 06:40:29,000
And from the city of Calgary, our appointees who are here in person with us today,

1747
06:40:29,000 --> 06:40:34,000
are Gina Bell and Morrisett, Lisa Oldridge, and Tracy Ziel.

1748
06:40:34,000 --> 06:40:40,000
The Authority's Auditor, Pricewater House Coopers, is also represented virtually.

1749
06:40:40,000 --> 06:40:47,000
The Authority benefits from having an extremely talented and dedicated group of individual on its Board of Directors.

1750
06:40:48,000 --> 06:40:54,000
We are a Board that is rooted in this community with extensive business experience.

1751
06:40:54,000 --> 06:40:59,000
Our Board is diligent in our governance and oversight of the Calgary Airport Authority.

1752
06:40:59,000 --> 06:41:02,000
I am grateful to be serving alongside this group.

1753
06:41:02,000 --> 06:41:07,000
And with that, I would like to turn it over to Bob Sartor, our President and CEO.

1754
06:41:07,000 --> 06:41:13,000
Bob will take you through the highlights of 2022, and then we'll close with any questions and answers.

1755
06:41:13,000 --> 06:41:16,000
And I would ask that you advance the slide to Bob.

1756
06:41:16,000 --> 06:41:17,000
Thank you.

1757
06:41:18,000 --> 06:41:28,000
Thank you Mr. Chair and good afternoon to all of you here today, and those who are virtual.

1758
06:41:28,000 --> 06:41:34,000
I'm very pleased to have this opportunity today to talk about the highlights and the achievements,

1759
06:41:34,000 --> 06:41:40,000
the financial situation of the Authority over the past year, focusing on three key themes.

1760
06:41:40,000 --> 06:41:44,000
Item number one or theme number one is celebrating our recovery.

1761
06:41:44,000 --> 06:41:50,000
Theme number two is growth faster than we ever could have foretold.

1762
06:41:50,000 --> 06:41:57,000
And theme number three is the importance of working closely with our government and industry partners to succeed.

1763
06:41:57,000 --> 06:42:03,000
After years of resilience, it's time for a renaissance at YYC.

1764
06:42:03,000 --> 06:42:07,000
In 2022, we didn't just rebuild and return to where we were.

1765
06:42:07,000 --> 06:42:11,000
We went above and beyond to go further.

1766
06:42:11,000 --> 06:42:19,000
From what I can see today, YYC is posed not only for a strong year of growth ahead, but for many strong years ahead.

1767
06:42:19,000 --> 06:42:26,000
Several of our airline partners have already announced and launched additional routes for 2023, and there are more to come.

1768
06:42:26,000 --> 06:42:36,000
WestJet's move to make YYC its global connecting hub is anticipated to increase passengers to YYC by more than 20% this year.

1769
06:42:36,000 --> 06:42:46,000
Roads flown by WestJet and our 14 other airline partners will provide guests flying out of YYC, nonstop access to over 90 destinations in Canada,

1770
06:42:46,000 --> 06:42:49,000
the United States and across the globe.

1771
06:42:49,000 --> 06:42:56,000
The stronger we are at YYC, the greater our contributions are to the city, the region, and the community that we serve.

1772
06:42:56,000 --> 06:42:59,000
With a strong foundation.

1773
06:43:00,000 --> 06:43:08,000
Beneath us, I am confident that we have the team, the governance structure, and the strategy to successfully navigate the future.

1774
06:43:08,000 --> 06:43:14,000
Before I get into an overview of our highlights and by the way, if we could advance this slide, please.

1775
06:43:14,000 --> 06:43:15,000
Thank you.

1776
06:43:15,000 --> 06:43:26,000
Before I get into an overview of our highlights from 2022 and forecast for 2023, I wanted to provide some background about the authority to set the stage for the update to come.

1777
06:43:26,000 --> 06:43:34,000
The authority is a not-for-profit, non-share-capital corporation incorporated under the province of Alberta's regional airports authorities act.

1778
06:43:34,000 --> 06:43:45,000
We are responsible for the operation, management and development of YYC, Calgary International Airport, and Springbank Airport under a long-term lease agreement with the Government of Canada.

1779
06:43:45,000 --> 06:43:53,000
We are governed by a community-based board of directors, which are appointed by four organizations, the Chamber of Commerce Long Range Planning Committee,

1780
06:43:53,000 --> 06:43:59,000
the Federal Government has represented by Transport Canada, Rocky View, County, and the City of Calgary.

1781
06:43:59,000 --> 06:44:01,000
Next slide, please.

1782
06:44:01,000 --> 06:44:08,000
Our revenue is generated through three diversified streams if you could go back when I'd appreciate that.

1783
06:44:08,000 --> 06:44:12,000
No, back to slide, number 11.

1784
06:44:12,000 --> 06:44:17,000
There you go.

1785
06:44:17,000 --> 06:44:20,000
We have three diversified revenue streams.

1786
06:44:20,000 --> 06:44:27,000
Aeronautical revenues, which includes airline landing fees, apron parking fees, usage fees, for terminals and gates.

1787
06:44:27,000 --> 06:44:34,000
Non-Aeronautical revenues, which includes rental of terminal space, counter-engate space, training facilities, retail and food space, and car parks.

1788
06:44:34,000 --> 06:44:42,000
And finally, airport improvement fees, which are set fees collected from passengers that are used to fund infrastructure improvements.

1789
06:44:42,000 --> 06:44:48,000
And if we could go to the, I think we are quite a ways away from there.

1790
06:44:48,000 --> 06:44:49,000
Slide 12, please.

1791
06:44:49,000 --> 06:44:51,000
I think we have the numbers wrong.

1792
06:44:51,000 --> 06:44:55,000
So I think we should have been on slide four, and I assume we're advancing by one.

1793
06:44:55,000 --> 06:44:58,000
So this is slide, like, this is way far in a van.

1794
06:44:58,000 --> 06:45:00,000
Yeah, quite a ways.

1795
06:45:00,000 --> 06:45:02,000
It's a slide with the...

1796
06:45:02,000 --> 06:45:04,000
Let it get it right for you before you continue.

1797
06:45:04,000 --> 06:45:07,000
Yeah, it's a slide with a three-ballding gentleman on it.

1798
06:45:07,000 --> 06:45:09,000
There it is.

1799
06:45:09,000 --> 06:45:10,000
There we go.

1800
06:45:10,000 --> 06:45:12,000
There it is.

1801
06:45:12,000 --> 06:45:17,000
The authority's small, but mighty leadership team currently includes myself and Chris Miles,

1802
06:45:17,000 --> 06:45:20,000
our Vice President Operations and Infrastructure was here,

1803
06:45:20,000 --> 06:45:25,000
and Rob Palmer, our Vice President Commercial Strategy and Chief Financial Officer, who is also here.

1804
06:45:25,000 --> 06:45:28,000
Next slide please.

1805
06:45:28,000 --> 06:45:29,000
It worked.

1806
06:45:29,000 --> 06:45:39,000
Our ability to not only recover in 2022, but the way we were able to position why why see for the growth to come is a direct result of our comprehensive planning,

1807
06:45:39,000 --> 06:45:44,000
careful strategic investments, and putting guests at the heart of every decision we make.

1808
06:45:44,000 --> 06:45:47,000
You'll see here an overview of our strategic plan.

1809
06:45:47,000 --> 06:45:55,000
Supporting and developing our employees as well as ensuring the health and safety of our workforce is an important pillar in our strategic plan.

1810
06:45:56,000 --> 06:46:04,000
We are committed to facilitating and supporting the success of our partners from airlines to retailers to cargo to the businesses based on our campus.

1811
06:46:04,000 --> 06:46:12,000
At our core, we're committed to maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance in serving our community and our customers.

1812
06:46:12,000 --> 06:46:21,000
We're also working diligently towards sustainability, which I'll come to later, and developing strategic long-term partnerships.

1813
06:46:21,000 --> 06:46:24,000
Next slide please.

1814
06:46:25,000 --> 06:46:32,000
Over the past six years, our strategic plan has guided our operations, our investments, and our priorities.

1815
06:46:32,000 --> 06:46:43,000
As a former chair of the Canadian Airports Council, large airport caucus, I can tell you that why why see plays a significant role advocating for Calgary on a national level.

1816
06:46:43,000 --> 06:46:53,000
As one of the largest airports in Canada, why why see is home to WestJet's global connecting hub and exclusive hub for their wide-body service to Europe and Asia.

1817
06:46:53,000 --> 06:47:00,000
We served 88 nonstop destinations in 2022.

1818
06:47:00,000 --> 06:47:08,000
We had the highest domestic passenger percentage of the four busiest airports in Canada at 73% in 2022.

1819
06:47:08,000 --> 06:47:15,000
Our strong domestic passenger profile was a crucial factor in our ability to recover as quickly as we did.

1820
06:47:16,000 --> 06:47:23,000
We also had the highest percentage of connecting flights in Canada at 37% of our total volume in 2022.

1821
06:47:23,000 --> 06:47:30,000
And we are one of the top connecting airports in the world as a percentage of our total passenger volume.

1822
06:47:30,000 --> 06:47:35,000
I'll also highlight that why why see is one of the lowest cost major airports in the country.

1823
06:47:35,000 --> 06:47:44,000
Our position as a low cost airport is an important way we maintain our competitive advantage in the industry, attracting airlines to do business in our city.

1824
06:47:45,000 --> 06:47:47,000
Next slide, please.

1825
06:47:47,000 --> 06:47:50,000
In 2022, we did what we do best.

1826
06:47:50,000 --> 06:47:55,000
We focused on the connections between people, places and the experiences that make us all better.

1827
06:47:55,000 --> 06:48:00,000
We did say goodbye to the pandemic and hello to a much brighter future.

1828
06:48:00,000 --> 06:48:07,000
Our airport transition to a near full recovery way beyond what we could have predicted.

1829
06:48:07,000 --> 06:48:09,000
Next slide, please.

1830
06:48:09,000 --> 06:48:20,000
By continuing to work closely with our partners, both new and returning, to provide memorable and exceptional experiences we became the most recovered large Canadian airport in 2022.

1831
06:48:20,000 --> 06:48:30,000
In the fall of 2022, WestJet announced plans to make why why see Calgary International Airport is global connecting hub, its sole global connecting hub.

1832
06:48:30,000 --> 06:48:43,000
Consolidating all its intercontinental 787 wide-body dreamlander flights in Calgary, this move will create new routes between North America, Europe and Asia to and from Calgary.

1833
06:48:43,000 --> 06:48:57,000
In addition to expanding its 787 fleet, WestJet announced plans to enhance its mid-range aircraft and bolster its North American services with a goal of doubling its capacity and why why see by the end of the decade.

1834
06:48:57,000 --> 06:48:59,000
Next slide, please.

1835
06:49:00,000 --> 06:49:08,000
Growing why why see commercial offerings and increasing non-Arenautical revenue has always been a key focus for us and it was no difference last year.

1836
06:49:08,000 --> 06:49:12,000
Here are some of the major initiatives that we embarked on last year.

1837
06:49:12,000 --> 06:49:21,000
We implemented a multi-year sponsorship agreement with RBC, part of the authorities plan to secure major partnerships that will help shape the future of why why see.

1838
06:49:21,000 --> 06:49:28,000
We partnered with Coca-Cola to create a one-of-a-kind mural installation that depicts scenes from Calgary's iconic bowl river.

1839
06:49:28,000 --> 06:49:42,000
We developed a why-why see partner parking program where participating businesses in Calgary and the surrounding area will benefit from their employees receiving discounts on parking when traveling both for business and leisure.

1840
06:49:42,000 --> 06:49:48,000
We signed a multi-year agreement with Uber and a new agreement with taxi operators.

1841
06:49:48,000 --> 06:49:57,000
And late last year we were thrilled to support one of our longest airport partners Delta Hotel Calgary internal hotel as they welcome guests back.

1842
06:49:57,000 --> 06:50:08,000
We also welcome Calgary's newest casino to our airport campus Ace Casino featuring 72,000 fleet of entertainment just minutes from the terminal.

1843
06:50:08,000 --> 06:50:13,000
Next slide, please.

1844
06:50:13,000 --> 06:50:18,000
I think we might have skipped. Next one, please. Perfect.

1845
06:50:18,000 --> 06:50:27,000
We expanded our why-why see Express, which is the virtual Cueing Technology solution developed and led by Calgary Airport Authority.

1846
06:50:27,000 --> 06:50:37,000
The service provides certainty and minimizes time spent in security screening line by allowing guests to pre-book their spot in security when traveling during our peak times.

1847
06:50:37,000 --> 06:50:47,000
In 2022 more than 83,000 guests made reservations for why-why see Express and we're happy to say that virtually all major airports have adopted our technology.

1848
06:50:47,000 --> 06:50:56,000
Next slide, please. Why-why see is committed to becoming a barrier-free inclusive airport for people of all ages and all abilities.

1849
06:50:56,000 --> 06:51:05,000
We are continually looking at ways to create a more accessible experience by ensuring everyone can fully participate in and enjoy the airport experience.

1850
06:51:05,000 --> 06:51:15,000
Last year we implemented a quiet terminal providing a more relaxing and calmer airport experience with reduced noise from standard public address announcements.

1851
06:51:15,000 --> 06:51:28,000
We reviewed why-why see is way finding best practice recommendations and started making immediate changes while setting the groundwork for a long-term plan to declutter signage and use more consistent verbiage and nomenclature.

1852
06:51:28,000 --> 06:51:35,000
To meet and exceed regulatory compliance for accessible transportation at why-why see we partnered with changing paces.

1853
06:51:35,000 --> 06:51:41,000
A disability awareness training for them to develop accessibility training customized to why-why see's guests.

1854
06:51:41,000 --> 06:51:52,000
Their team of experts supported us by training our people to deliver the material for airports staff and volunteers who interact with the traveling public each and every day.

1855
06:51:52,000 --> 06:51:55,000
Next slide, please.

1856
06:51:55,000 --> 06:52:02,000
The West Runway Rehabilitation Project is going to be one of the biggest projects for the airport authority in the next several years and it's a critical one.

1857
06:52:02,000 --> 06:52:11,000
Once complete, the West Runway will reinforce airports safety and capacity for passengers, air crews and airport workers for decades to come.

1858
06:52:11,000 --> 06:52:19,000
In 2022, the key focus areas of the project were planning, design, development and procurement of long lead times items.

1859
06:52:19,000 --> 06:52:26,000
The runway design, which included environmental, sustainability and innovation options, was also completed in 2022.

1860
06:52:26,000 --> 06:52:35,000
Looking ahead, construction phasing analysis and stakeholder engagement and it will be an intense stakeholder engagement will continue throughout 2023.

1861
06:52:35,000 --> 06:52:44,000
Groundbreaking for the rehabilitation phase is expected to take place in the spring of 2024 with construction completed in 2025.

1862
06:52:45,000 --> 06:52:48,000
Up next slide, please.

1863
06:52:48,000 --> 06:52:55,000
Operating and capital costs have increased since the initial West Runway Rehabilitation Project budget was created in 2021.

1864
06:52:55,000 --> 06:53:03,000
As a result, the authority is seeking additional airport critical infrastructure program funding from the government of Canada.

1865
06:53:03,000 --> 06:53:08,000
Throughout the year, we remain focused on our vision of a strong future for why-why-see.

1866
06:53:08,000 --> 06:53:17,000
Our airport is a powerful economic driver for the province and surrounding area, and we are proud to be a part of the city's regions and aviation industries growth.

1867
06:53:17,000 --> 06:53:25,000
In 2022, why-why-see saw unprecedented growth in the number of new airlines and routes. Next slide, please.

1868
06:53:25,000 --> 06:53:36,000
In addition to designing, designating why-why-see as its intercontinental wide-body 787 Dreamliner hub, which will increase global connectivity and tourism options for the reason.

1869
06:53:36,000 --> 06:53:43,000
West just also restarted routes to Nassau, Bahamas, Belize City, and Terrace BC.

1870
06:53:43,000 --> 06:53:57,000
West Jet also announced 2023 plans to add nonstop flights to from why-why-see to Tokyo, Barcelona, Edinburgh, Austin, Detroit, Chicago, O'Hare, and Washington, Dallas.

1871
06:53:57,000 --> 06:54:02,000
Air Canada started two new destinations from why-why-see with Quebec City in Fort San John.

1872
06:54:02,000 --> 06:54:09,000
Links air service started in 2022, with why-why-see as their primary airport.

1873
06:54:09,000 --> 06:54:18,000
In September of 2022, links announced the U.S. expansion with addition of three popular routes from why-why-see to Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles.

1874
06:54:18,000 --> 06:54:22,000
Links now serves 13 destinations from Calgary.

1875
06:54:22,000 --> 06:54:28,000
Porter Airlines shared its plans to enter the western market with twice-dale service between Calgary and Terrondo.

1876
06:54:28,000 --> 06:54:42,000
That route commenced in February 2023. Canadian North announced it was joining the team-wide-wide-see community in winter 2023, with daily flights linking treaties 7 and 11, or Calgary and Yellowknife.

1877
06:54:42,000 --> 06:54:45,000
This service also commenced this past February.

1878
06:54:45,000 --> 06:54:55,000
Eurowings discover launch service in August 2022 with seasonal service to Frankfurt, four times weekly, which they are expanding to five times weekly this May.

1879
06:54:55,000 --> 06:55:06,000
Flair Air continued to be a growing airline partner throughout the year and announced it's 2023 expansion plans to increase its road options from why-why-see throughout Canada, the U.S. and Mexico.

1880
06:55:06,000 --> 06:55:09,000
Next slide, please.

1881
06:55:09,000 --> 06:55:20,000
2022 was a year of recovery for the travel and aviation industries around the world.

1882
06:55:20,000 --> 06:55:26,000
We saw the removal of travel restrictions, quarantine periods, and testing requirements during the year.

1883
06:55:26,000 --> 06:55:31,000
But as restrictions were lifted, there was a significant spike in demand for air travel.

1884
06:55:32,000 --> 06:55:39,000
Toward the second half of 2022, we began to see a stabilization in demand at approximately 90% of pre-pandemic levels.

1885
06:55:39,000 --> 06:55:45,000
You'll see here the changes in our financial position between 2020, 2021, and 2022.

1886
06:55:45,000 --> 06:55:53,000
In 2022, total revenue was 415.9 million and increased of 92% compared to 2021.

1887
06:55:53,000 --> 06:55:58,000
This is just 16 million below the revenue generated pre-pandemic.

1888
06:55:59,000 --> 06:56:11,000
Expenses for 2022 were 223.2 million, a 45% increase over 2021, driven primarily by the airport returning to its full operational footprint.

1889
06:56:11,000 --> 06:56:19,000
Our earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization was $192.7 million, which is approaching 2019 levels.

1890
06:56:19,000 --> 06:56:24,000
We continued our discipline approach to investing in capital projects in 2022.

1891
06:56:25,000 --> 06:56:35,000
After significantly reducing capital spending in 2020 to only $18 million, investment has now been purposefully expanded to grow with available cash flow.

1892
06:56:35,000 --> 06:56:44,000
Capital spending in 2022 was 42 million, and we are expecting to invest approximately 70 million in capital projects in 2023.

1893
06:56:44,000 --> 06:56:49,000
Capital projects are investments not only in our future, but in the city's future.

1894
06:56:49,000 --> 06:56:56,000
Maintenance and growth projects are an essential part of what we do, and an essential part of preserving the safety and longevity of our assets.

1895
06:56:56,000 --> 06:56:58,000
Next slide please.

1896
06:56:58,000 --> 06:57:06,000
We ended 2022 by welcoming 14.5 million passengers despite a very weak first quarter due to Omicron.

1897
06:57:06,000 --> 06:57:15,000
That was an increase of 8.2 million or 128% from 6.3 million passengers in the same period of 2021.

1898
06:57:15,000 --> 06:57:24,000
By the end of 2023, we anticipate serving close to or slightly in excess of 17.5 million passengers.

1899
06:57:24,000 --> 06:57:29,000
By 2028, we forecast 23 million people coming through our doors.

1900
06:57:29,000 --> 06:57:32,000
Next slide please.

1901
06:57:32,000 --> 06:57:36,000
By the end of 2022, we had 88 nonstop destinations.

1902
06:57:36,000 --> 06:57:39,000
We had reached 186 daily departures.

1903
06:57:39,000 --> 06:57:44,000
We grew commercial service with offerings from 15 passenger airlines, which was a significant increase.

1904
06:57:44,000 --> 06:57:49,000
We maintained valuable relationships with our 7 cargo partners.

1905
06:57:49,000 --> 06:57:52,000
Next slide please.

1906
06:57:52,000 --> 06:57:57,000
As I mentioned earlier, growing our non-Arenautical revenue was a key focus.

1907
06:57:57,000 --> 06:58:02,000
Last December, we saw a 91% increase in non-Arenautical revenue from 2021.

1908
06:58:02,000 --> 06:58:08,000
We had 96 total shopping, dining, and retail options, and as we speak, we are busy building more.

1909
06:58:08,000 --> 06:58:15,000
And we had 124% increase in car parking revenue in 2022 compared to 2021.

1910
06:58:15,000 --> 06:58:17,000
Next slide please.

1911
06:58:17,000 --> 06:58:24,000
We remained proud of why YC's role in the transportation of critical goods through our state-of-the-art cargo facilities.

1912
06:58:24,000 --> 06:58:32,000
We are a critical part of the supply chain for our region, supporting important shipments and creating well-paying jobs.

1913
06:58:32,000 --> 06:58:44,000
In 2022, after two years of significant surges of growth during the pandemic, YYC's cargo business stabilized as was the case with most airports around the globe.

1914
06:58:44,000 --> 06:58:47,000
Not to be forgotten of course, next slide please.

1915
06:58:47,000 --> 06:58:52,000
Spring Bank Airport is also an important part of who we are.

1916
06:58:52,000 --> 06:59:01,000
Spring Bank Airport is a 24-7 operation that generates approximately 135 million in both direct and indirect GDP to the area.

1917
06:59:01,000 --> 06:59:07,000
Spring Bank is the regional hub for aircraft and helicopter flight training and other aircraft operations.

1918
06:59:07,000 --> 06:59:21,000
It facilitates recreational flying, corporate and air charter activity, and aircraft maintenance, manufacturing and support operations, including serving as a base for air tank or fire suppression aircraft during the fire season.

1919
06:59:22,000 --> 06:59:28,000
Situated on more 1,000 acres of land, the airport is home to more than 30 businesses and 400 aircraft.

1920
06:59:28,000 --> 06:59:37,000
Spring Bank is the second busiest general aviation airport and is the fifth busiest airport in Canada when measuring total aircraft movements.

1921
06:59:37,000 --> 06:59:39,000
That is quite remarkable.

1922
06:59:39,000 --> 06:59:47,000
And long anticipated by the community, the Spring Bank Air Show was a real hit with 18,000 visitors this past summer.

1923
06:59:47,000 --> 06:59:50,000
Next slide please.

1924
06:59:51,000 --> 06:59:58,000
Fostering positive relationships and 2-way conversations with all levels of government and stakeholders is a key focus to the work we do.

1925
06:59:58,000 --> 07:00:00,000
We pride ourselves.

1926
07:00:00,000 --> 07:00:08,000
Being open and accessible, bringing our experience and expertise to the table, in every conversation for the benefit of the city and region.

1927
07:00:08,000 --> 07:00:23,000
Bital partnerships with governments as well as travel, tourism, community and business leaders enable the authority to provide the best possible guest experience and to preserve our role as a vital economic generator for Calgary and the region.

1928
07:00:23,000 --> 07:00:38,000
The Calgary Airport authority continues to work with our counterparts at other airports and the Canadian airports council to advocate for investments into government-owned technology, funding streams for the national trade quarter fund and modernized lease agreements.

1929
07:00:38,000 --> 07:00:41,000
Next slide, please.

1930
07:00:41,000 --> 07:00:48,000
We, as well as other airports, call on the federal government to invest in its own technology to assist in the guest experience.

1931
07:00:48,000 --> 07:01:01,000
There are so many ways in which we can enhance airport processes through technology and policy improvements on the part of the federal government, instead of having to resort to continuously build out and create additional infrastructure and take on additional debt.

1932
07:01:01,000 --> 07:01:13,000
Examples of such investments include improved screening equipment such as facial biometrics for security, self-boarding and customs. Next slide, please.

1933
07:01:14,000 --> 07:01:23,000
We continue to advocate for assurances that infrastructure projects at Canada's airports, the eligible for funding through a national trade quarter fund stream dedicated to airport infrastructure.

1934
07:01:23,000 --> 07:01:37,000
This is particularly critical for the four hub airports, Montreal, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver, because the sheer volume of throughput that we have really degrades our capital investments much faster than spoke airports.

1935
07:01:37,000 --> 07:01:42,000
This is also critical to supporting the significant growth in Canadian air cargo capacity.

1936
07:01:42,000 --> 07:01:53,000
We'll continue to advocate for government support to complete our vital infrastructure improvements to further expand our cargo capacity, support our airline partners, and deliver better experiences for our guests.

1937
07:01:53,000 --> 07:01:56,000
Next slide, please.

1938
07:01:56,000 --> 07:02:06,000
The Calgary airport authority has a vested interest in working closely with stakeholders to develop our robust solution for transit rail at connectivity to YYC.

1939
07:02:06,000 --> 07:02:12,000
By the end of next year, we will be the only hub airport that does not have connectivity to the city.

1940
07:02:12,000 --> 07:02:22,000
We will continue to work with city administration and the province of Alberta to advance various transportation options for our guests.

1941
07:02:22,000 --> 07:02:24,000
Next slide, please.

1942
07:02:24,000 --> 07:02:36,000
In December of last year, we implemented a four-year sustainability strategy that focuses on six action areas and aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development goals and tactics.

1943
07:02:36,000 --> 07:02:38,000
Next slide, please.

1944
07:02:38,000 --> 07:02:51,000
They are as follows, climate action, material and resource management, land and ecosystem management, healthy people and communities protecting our water and supporting actions to achieve them.

1945
07:02:51,000 --> 07:03:04,000
This strategy is available online at www.YYCSustainability.com, and allows us to report environmental key performance indicators in near real time.

1946
07:03:04,000 --> 07:03:14,000
And finally, before we go to questions, as announced in March, the Board of Directors has identified Chris Dinsdale as my successor as the authorities next president and CEO.

1947
07:03:14,000 --> 07:03:19,000
We look forward to welcoming Chris when his term as president and CEO commences this August.

1948
07:03:19,000 --> 07:03:26,000
Until I move on to new adventures when Chris takes the helm, I look forward to our continued interactions and time together.

1949
07:03:26,000 --> 07:03:30,000
With that, I will now turn it over to any questions that you may have.

1950
07:03:30,000 --> 07:03:32,000
And thank you for listening to the presentation.

1951
07:03:32,000 --> 07:03:33,000
Thank you very much.

1952
07:03:33,000 --> 07:03:35,000
Thank you very much. It was very compelling presentation.

1953
07:03:35,000 --> 07:03:39,000
We do have some questions for you. I'm starting with Councillor Pattern. Please go ahead.

1954
07:03:39,000 --> 07:03:52,000
Thank you so much. One question I have in that comes to mind is, as we continue to welcome both refugees and immigrants at record numbers into our airport.

1955
07:03:52,000 --> 07:04:00,000
Has there been any consideration given to partnering with some of the community serving organizations to support individuals upon their arrival?

1956
07:04:00,000 --> 07:04:09,000
We actually do have in airport. I think we're the only airport that actually has those organizations in airport providing immediate support.

1957
07:04:09,000 --> 07:04:13,000
The moment these people get through customs.

1958
07:04:13,000 --> 07:04:20,000
Thanks. That is a pleasant answer. I'm surprised to learn and I'm so glad that that's already there. That was actually my only question. Thank you.

1959
07:04:20,000 --> 07:04:24,000
Thank you Councillor Pattern. We'll go to Councillor Walcott, please.

1960
07:04:24,000 --> 07:04:28,000
I had a similar question, so that solves one thing.

1961
07:04:28,000 --> 07:04:34,000
But I had a second question actually as well too. I think the future of the airport is so bright right now.

1962
07:04:34,000 --> 07:04:40,000
When we start looking at just the way the announcements have gone with the connector in the near future as we seek that to plan that out.

1963
07:04:40,000 --> 07:04:45,000
And then to be honest, just looking at the growth right beside you.

1964
07:04:45,000 --> 07:04:55,000
So what I was keen on and I was curious if that all it was related was some of the success of the airport authority and the return to work.

1965
07:04:55,000 --> 07:05:01,000
And also the developments that have been finishing up around you including new hotels, casino.

1966
07:05:01,000 --> 07:05:11,000
And I'm curious if there's, when you use the language of industry partners, I'm curious if there's a direct relationship with the developing developments that are going on around you.

1967
07:05:11,000 --> 07:05:19,000
And if that's kind of contributing to some of the successes that we're seeing with regard to even like parking revenue, but also just giving people something cool to do on their stay overnight.

1968
07:05:19,000 --> 07:05:27,000
Yeah, there's a couple of things to that. The first of all, we focus ourselves on our 5,300 acre campus.

1969
07:05:27,000 --> 07:05:32,000
And so if you look at hotels, there's quite a few of them that are not on our campus, but immediately adjacent.

1970
07:05:32,000 --> 07:05:40,000
And that's not unusual to have quite a few businesses set up shop surrounding the airport because face it with over 50,000 people coming in there.

1971
07:05:40,000 --> 07:05:48,000
Every day it'll work. It's a small city within a city. So it's its only ecosystem.

1972
07:05:48,000 --> 07:05:59,000
And it thrives on the growth that really is driven by our ability to generate more new routes through the air carriers by things I talked about before, which is our lower costs.

1973
07:05:59,000 --> 07:06:05,000
Our customer service level, I would say, is probably at a very, very high level compared to other airports.

1974
07:06:05,000 --> 07:06:10,000
We don't treat, you know, airlines like they're paying in the rear end.

1975
07:06:10,000 --> 07:06:15,000
We basically say, you're a customer. We value you. How can we work together to make it profitable?

1976
07:06:15,000 --> 07:06:23,000
And we also take a different approach. If we wanted to start a road, for example, we will first of all do the homework to say this can be sustained.

1977
07:06:23,000 --> 07:06:30,000
We will then pitch it to the air carrier and we will go to that airport and say, work with us to make this successful.

1978
07:06:30,000 --> 07:06:33,000
And that's how we continue to get that growth.

1979
07:06:34,000 --> 07:06:41,000
Well, it's very short. People are piggybacking off of your success. I see good to know. All right. Thank you, Chair.

1980
07:06:41,000 --> 07:06:45,000
Thanks, Councillor Walcott. With that we'll go to Councillor Spencer.

1981
07:06:45,000 --> 07:06:53,000
Thank you, Chair. Just wondering in terms of commentary around the opportunity, we were talking about coverage being more of an inline port.

1982
07:06:53,000 --> 07:06:55,000
We don't have water.

1983
07:06:55,000 --> 07:07:08,000
But when you think of the future and strategically aligning the pieces to attract some of that, can you point to a few things that you've seen recently that would indicate that everything's kind of set up in that direction?

1984
07:07:08,000 --> 07:07:21,000
Sure. We have a few things going for us. One of the first ones is we are immediately adjacent to both the north-south and east-west, you know, highways. It's extremely important.

1985
07:07:21,000 --> 07:07:36,000
We deliberately set up our cargo operations, for example, to be the easiest to operate for air carriers, cargo carriers. So we have, we have the kinds of investments we've made, which most cargo facilities don't have.

1986
07:07:36,000 --> 07:07:40,000
And I could get into a lot of detail on this, but it makes a difference to them.

1987
07:07:40,000 --> 07:07:48,000
We also understand that every minute they sit on the ground, they're not making money. So our turnaround times are very fast.

1988
07:07:48,000 --> 07:07:52,000
And we continue to look for ways to improve with them.

1989
07:07:52,000 --> 07:07:58,000
A prime example of that is, is most of our buildings, our cargo buildings are not full.

1990
07:07:58,000 --> 07:08:08,000
And we are actually working with a third party to look to build new cargo facilities to continue to expand, because every year they're looking for more space.

1991
07:08:08,000 --> 07:08:19,000
Because increasingly what's happening is, tonnage cargo is important, but what's really important is all those little packages that are coming in every day on Amazon Plains.

1992
07:08:19,000 --> 07:08:35,000
It's stunning the growth of that. And for that, you need sorting facilities. So what happens is we take the existing cargo ecosystem and we say we need to develop further, to be able to modify what we do to satisfy what is going on.

1993
07:08:35,000 --> 07:08:43,000
So nothing stays static forever in any business, and our business is the same, and particularly in cargo with the changes we've seen.

1994
07:08:43,000 --> 07:08:55,000
The other issue we look at is, we are looking at, we always look at trying to get industries that are related to aviation or actually in aviation in some way shape or form.

1995
07:08:55,000 --> 07:09:05,000
And that's one of the things we've been successful in doing in the past few years, and we continue to continuously pitch aviation related organizations to set up shop here.

1996
07:09:05,000 --> 07:09:18,000
What's happened, for example, in aviation, especially in companies that are in aerospace, a lot of them set up in Eastern Canada years and years and years ago, but there's a lot of growth in Western Canada.

1997
07:09:18,000 --> 07:09:23,000
So what we're basically pitching is, you need a spot here.

1998
07:09:23,000 --> 07:09:30,000
So you can't just sit on your on your hind legs and say, we'll wait for business to come to us, you've got to go get it.

1999
07:09:30,000 --> 07:09:40,000
Awesome, that's encouraging you here. I may have to follow up and find out a little bit more of what you know in terms of those connected pieces that are feeding each other.

2000
07:09:40,000 --> 07:09:42,000
Appreciate it. Thank you. Great work.

2001
07:09:42,000 --> 07:09:44,000
Thanks.

2002
07:09:44,000 --> 07:09:47,000
Okay, you know what that will head over to you, council.

2003
07:09:47,000 --> 07:09:51,000
Please. Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Mr. Sarder, for getting us through COVID.

2004
07:09:51,000 --> 07:09:52,000
I'm still here.

2005
07:09:52,000 --> 07:09:55,000
It wasn't all fun and games. I'll tell you that.

2006
07:09:55,000 --> 07:10:00,000
Our business dropped 95% in the span of a week.

2007
07:10:00,000 --> 07:10:02,000
Thank you.

2008
07:10:02,000 --> 07:10:06,000
I just got to pursue a line of questioning over the West Runway.

2009
07:10:06,000 --> 07:10:10,000
How much capacity would that add in terms of passage volume?

2010
07:10:10,000 --> 07:10:16,000
I know that might not be the most appropriate metric, but it's less about the capacity.

2011
07:10:16,000 --> 07:10:20,000
Then it is about simply replacing an asset whose time has come to an end.

2012
07:10:20,000 --> 07:10:30,000
That runway is, I forget how many years old, but I'm sure my, my.

2013
07:10:30,000 --> 07:10:33,000
Yeah, parts of it are an excess of 60 years old.

2014
07:10:33,000 --> 07:10:40,000
Well, the served us well, now what this runway will do, it will likely have more modernized lighting and things like that.

2015
07:10:40,000 --> 07:10:45,000
So we'll enable us to do more landings and takeoffs in inclement weather and fog conditions.

2016
07:10:45,000 --> 07:10:50,000
Those kind of things, but the principle reason we're redoing it is we don't want to go backwards.

2017
07:10:50,000 --> 07:10:52,000
We need to replenish that asset.

2018
07:10:52,000 --> 07:10:55,000
What sort of cost are you looking at?

2019
07:10:55,000 --> 07:11:00,000
All in probably in the $200 million range anywhere with the funding come from.

2020
07:11:00,000 --> 07:11:06,000
Some of it from cash flow, some of it from the federal government, and some of it from debt.

2021
07:11:06,000 --> 07:11:09,000
Can you share more details?

2022
07:11:09,000 --> 07:11:11,000
Is that premature?

2023
07:11:11,000 --> 07:11:12,000
No, not at all.

2024
07:11:12,000 --> 07:11:17,000
The federal government is is contributing 57.5 million dollars to the project.

2025
07:11:17,000 --> 07:11:20,000
Thank you very much, thank you chair.

2026
07:11:20,000 --> 07:11:26,000
Thank you and we'll go to Council Crop please.

2027
07:11:26,000 --> 07:11:28,000
Hi, yeah, great presentation.

2028
07:11:28,000 --> 07:11:31,000
I'm glad we're coming out of a COVID every year.

2029
07:11:31,000 --> 07:11:35,000
I ask you about primary transit connections to the airport.

2030
07:11:35,000 --> 07:11:42,000
There has been increased conversation about inner city rail and how it might or might not connect to the airport.

2031
07:11:42,000 --> 07:11:46,000
Extension of the green of the blue line into the airport.

2032
07:11:46,000 --> 07:11:53,000
The people mover the provincial government in their provincial budget set money aside to sort of solve once and for all.

2033
07:11:53,000 --> 07:11:56,000
The best way to serve the airport.

2034
07:11:56,000 --> 07:12:03,000
How are you guys preparing to collaborate with that over the coming year?

2035
07:12:03,000 --> 07:12:11,000
Sure, we have been in in constant communication with city transportation group.

2036
07:12:11,000 --> 07:12:18,000
And our our view, Council Crop is that realistically it's not the airports decision to make.

2037
07:12:18,000 --> 07:12:27,000
This is a very important decision that will impact the city and the region and really the city and the province need to come to the table and say,

2038
07:12:27,000 --> 07:12:31,000
This is what's best for Alberta and best for Calgary.

2039
07:12:31,000 --> 07:12:39,000
We had planned for rail a long time ago airports tend to have a 20 year 30 year horizon of thinking.

2040
07:12:39,000 --> 07:12:46,000
And so if you are effectively standing between our two parcades you'd see a gap.

2041
07:12:46,000 --> 07:12:50,000
And if you look through that gap, that's exactly where the trains would come in eventually.

2042
07:12:50,000 --> 07:12:55,000
So we are prepared for that eventuality.

2043
07:12:55,000 --> 07:13:03,000
And obviously we had also we also have land west of deer foot immediately, immediately west of deer foot.

2044
07:13:03,000 --> 07:13:12,000
And that land is freehold land that could be used as a multimodal station for buses, for cars, for train.

2045
07:13:12,000 --> 07:13:24,000
So that's what we would want to bring to the table is our pre planning that we've already done and the fact that we have the space for multimodal station that could benefit not only the airport.

2046
07:13:24,000 --> 07:13:33,000
And train but also some of the traffic that comes in, for example, from air degree every day.

2047
07:13:33,000 --> 07:13:34,000
Yeah, I love to hear it.

2048
07:13:34,000 --> 07:13:36,000
I'll be very frank with you.

2049
07:13:36,000 --> 07:13:43,000
I think I was part of the council that fought to build the airport tunnel to create better connectivity to the airport.

2050
07:13:43,000 --> 07:13:51,000
I have witnessed a sort of an evolution in the thinking of the airport as sort of being in the business of parking cars,

2051
07:13:51,000 --> 07:13:54,000
to being in the business of being in multimodal aeratopolis.

2052
07:13:54,000 --> 07:13:57,000
And I appreciate your leadership in that regard.

2053
07:13:57,000 --> 07:14:14,000
And I'm really enthusiastic about where a primary transit and or inner city transit train connections will place count in the calorie airport in terms of a best possible future.

2054
07:14:14,000 --> 07:14:18,000
I'm glad you guys are supportive and excited about that.

2055
07:14:18,000 --> 07:14:19,000
Thank you.

2056
07:14:22,000 --> 07:14:26,000
All right, if I'm correct, is it's counterweightest next?

2057
07:14:26,000 --> 07:14:28,000
Perfect, go ahead, counterweightest.

2058
07:14:28,000 --> 07:14:30,000
Thank you.

2059
07:14:30,000 --> 07:14:35,000
The airport is, I think, one of them better organized airports around.

2060
07:14:35,000 --> 07:14:43,000
But I've been reading a lot of passenger issues pop up about the time it's taking to get their bags.

2061
07:14:43,000 --> 07:14:50,000
Has there something changed for that to be one of the really the few negatives that are coming out about the airport?

2062
07:14:50,000 --> 07:14:52,000
Yeah, I'd be happy to talk to you about that.

2063
07:14:52,000 --> 07:14:58,000
What a lot of people don't realize is we as airport operators, not just Calgary, any airport operator.

2064
07:14:58,000 --> 07:15:00,000
We are not allowed to touch the...

2065
07:15:00,000 --> 07:15:13,000
That is done by the air carrier staff or the people they contract. So the challenge is have been basically staffing what we call below the wing.

2066
07:15:13,000 --> 07:15:24,000
And it's a problem that air carriers are having in all major airports. And unfortunately, you know, two passengers, they say it's an airport problem.

2067
07:15:24,000 --> 07:15:32,000
It is an airport problem, because the air carriers can't simply get the bags inducted into our baggage system quickly enough.

2068
07:15:32,000 --> 07:15:37,000
And there's not a lot we can do about that until they fix their problem.

2069
07:15:37,000 --> 07:15:43,000
Thanks, do I think Hungarians are happy to hear that answer?

2070
07:15:43,000 --> 07:15:50,000
Is that it for you, Councillor?

2071
07:15:51,000 --> 07:15:54,000
Yep. Okay, Councillor me and please.

2072
07:15:54,000 --> 07:15:58,000
Well, thank you so much for that presentation. There's really a lot in there.

2073
07:15:58,000 --> 07:16:06,000
And I have so many things to potentially comment on, but I'll try and just say, you know, I think what's special about our role is that we represent Calgaryens.

2074
07:16:06,000 --> 07:16:14,000
And I think I would speak for Calgaryens or at least the folks in my word when I say it's very impressive to hear what you've been through over the last couple years and what you've been able to do and turn around.

2075
07:16:14,000 --> 07:16:18,000
And I think people would be really proud of the story that you've just told there.

2076
07:16:18,000 --> 07:16:21,000
I do have a couple questions and they're pretty minor.

2077
07:16:21,000 --> 07:16:31,000
The first is you mentioned something about why I see express on the technology to get sort of priority sort of signed in and get your place in the security line.

2078
07:16:31,000 --> 07:16:35,000
And I was actually just traveling in the US recently and they had that technology.

2079
07:16:35,000 --> 07:16:43,000
And so did I understand you correctly that that's Calgary technology and that's being used elsewhere or you just can you just explain a little bit more about that?

2080
07:16:43,000 --> 07:16:45,000
We developed our own technology.

2081
07:16:45,000 --> 07:16:53,000
And the airports that are using it now under the YVR Express, YYZ Express, they're using our technology.

2082
07:16:53,000 --> 07:16:58,000
Okay, so can other Canadian airports? Okay. Wow, that's really very cool.

2083
07:16:58,000 --> 07:17:03,000
The other question I had was I see you have 127% increase in parking revenue.

2084
07:17:03,000 --> 07:17:05,000
Can you explain that?

2085
07:17:05,000 --> 07:17:07,000
I wish I could.

2086
07:17:07,000 --> 07:17:17,000
It's interesting because we have obviously we have right share, we have taxis, we have buses and we really did expect more of a downturn.

2087
07:17:17,000 --> 07:17:26,000
One of the things we have done is we've really employed technology and dynamic pricing to effectively lower the cost of parking at the airport.

2088
07:17:26,000 --> 07:17:31,000
And I think people have noticed and said, yeah, you know what, it's worth my while to park there.

2089
07:17:31,000 --> 07:17:37,000
And we've really looked at longer term parking within our park aids and really reduced those prices as well.

2090
07:17:37,000 --> 07:17:45,000
Oh, that's interesting because one of my questions was has the parking prices increases that why the revenue is higher but you're saying it's actually the opposite.

2091
07:17:45,000 --> 07:17:46,000
Yeah.

2092
07:17:46,000 --> 07:17:48,000
Wow, okay, that's quite fascinating.

2093
07:17:48,000 --> 07:17:54,000
I think that's all my questions, but thanks for being here and thanks for your presentation. I really enjoyed it.

2094
07:17:54,000 --> 07:17:55,000
Thank you.

2095
07:17:56,000 --> 07:18:05,000
Thank you very much. I don't see any other questions in the key. I want to thank you for being here. Your organization is a very valued partner. I'm sorry some of us were a bit late.

2096
07:18:05,000 --> 07:18:09,000
Getting to the show, but we appreciate you being here and sharing this with us today.

2097
07:18:09,000 --> 07:18:10,000
Thank you very much.

2098
07:18:10,000 --> 07:18:11,000
Thank you.

2099
07:18:11,000 --> 07:18:15,000
Do we have a mover and secondary yet?

2100
07:18:15,000 --> 07:18:18,000
Okay, councilor, me and to move, councilor.

2101
07:18:18,000 --> 07:18:21,000
Putments, that's your name to second it.

2102
07:18:21,000 --> 07:18:22,000
Thank you.

2103
07:18:22,000 --> 07:18:28,000
I don't see anybody else with any debate, so if you could go to eScribe to vote, please.

2104
07:18:52,000 --> 07:18:54,000
Councilor, putments, your vote, please.

2105
07:18:54,000 --> 07:18:55,000
Thank you.

2106
07:18:55,000 --> 07:18:58,000
Councilor, do you want your vote, please?

2107
07:18:58,000 --> 07:19:00,000
Yes.

2108
07:19:00,000 --> 07:19:04,000
Thank you. Councilor McLean, your vote, please.

2109
07:19:04,000 --> 07:19:05,000
Yes.

2110
07:19:05,000 --> 07:19:06,000
Thank you.

2111
07:19:06,000 --> 07:19:09,000
Mayor, Mayor, conduct all the votes are in.

2112
07:19:09,000 --> 07:19:12,000
Could you display the results, please?

2113
07:19:12,000 --> 07:19:15,000
That's carried unanimously.

2114
07:19:15,000 --> 07:19:19,000
Madam Clerk, if I'm not mistaken, we need to go into closed session now for the final three items.

2115
07:19:19,000 --> 07:19:20,000
That's correct.

2116
07:19:20,000 --> 07:19:21,000
All right.

2117
07:19:21,000 --> 07:19:24,000
If we could get the motion to go into closed session, thank you very much.

2118
07:19:24,000 --> 07:19:26,000
Take it a mover for this, please.

2119
07:19:26,000 --> 07:19:30,000
Councilor, pen or seconded by councilor Wong.

2120
07:19:30,000 --> 07:19:36,000
If I could get you to go to eScribe to vote on this, please.

2121
07:19:36,000 --> 07:19:46,000
Councilor, putments, your vote, please.

2122
07:19:46,000 --> 07:19:47,000
Yes.

2123
07:19:47,000 --> 07:19:48,000
Thank you.

2124
07:19:48,000 --> 07:19:53,000
Councilor, do you want your vote, please?

2125
07:19:53,000 --> 07:19:54,000
Yes.

2126
07:19:54,000 --> 07:19:55,000
Thank you.

2127
07:19:55,000 --> 07:19:57,000
Councilor McLean, your vote, please.

2128
07:19:57,000 --> 07:19:58,000
Yes.

2129
07:19:58,000 --> 07:19:59,000
Thank you.

2130
07:19:59,000 --> 07:20:01,000
Mayor, conduct all the votes are in.

2131
07:20:01,000 --> 07:20:02,000
Thank you very much.

2132
07:20:02,000 --> 07:20:04,000
Could you display the results, please?

2133
07:20:04,000 --> 07:20:05,000
Thank you.

2134
07:20:05,000 --> 07:20:06,000
That's carried unanimously.

2135
07:20:06,000 --> 07:20:08,000
Councilor, we will be going to the back to discuss items.

2136
07:20:08,000 --> 07:20:11,000
12.2.1, 12.2.4, and 11.3.

2137
07:20:11,000 --> 07:20:14,000
We will then come back and rise in report.

2138
07:20:14,000 --> 07:20:19,000
So, please log out of this public meeting and you will get a link to the closed session meeting.

2139
07:20:19,000 --> 07:20:20,000
Thank you.

2140
07:20:44,000 --> 07:20:46,000
Thank you.

2141
07:21:14,000 --> 07:21:16,000
Thank you.

2142
07:21:44,000 --> 07:21:46,000
Thank you.

2143
07:22:14,000 --> 07:22:16,000
Thank you.

2144
07:22:44,000 --> 07:22:46,000
Thank you.

2145
07:23:14,000 --> 07:23:16,000
Thank you.

2146
07:23:44,000 --> 07:23:46,000
Thank you.

2147
07:24:14,000 --> 07:24:16,000
Thank you.

2148
07:24:44,000 --> 07:24:46,000
Thank you.

2149
07:25:14,000 --> 07:25:16,000
