PRESENTATION(S) AND RECOGNITION(S)

 

INFOSOL 2016 LIMITLESS BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE DASHBOARD AWARD

 

Deputy Mayor Pootmans announced that The City of Calgary has been awarded the Infosol 2016 Limitless Business Intelligence Dashboard Award for The City’s work in developing the 311 Performance Dashboard. The Limitless Business Intelligence Dashboard Award is about seeing beyond the obvious. Analyzing and using information in innovative ways to improve processes, people’s lives and to make a positive difference in the world. This award recognized that The City is a municipal leader in North America for the transformational way we are using data to run an effective, responsive and collaborative local government.

 

Deputy Mayor Pootmans invited Herman Cardoso, Leader of the Information Analytics group in Corporate Analytics & Innovation to accept the award. Mayor Nenshi and Deputy Mayor Pootmans extended their gratitude and congratulations to the whole team.

 

3.

QUESTION PERIOD

 

Mayor Nenshi assumed the Chair at 9:33 a.m. and Councillor Pootmans returned to his regular seat in Council.

 

 

311 Inquiries and Appropriate Response Time (Councillor Keating)

 

Anytime a resident phones our office with a concern, we advise them to call 311 and record the Service Request (SR) number issued. Some of these residents have come back to us a month and a half later and they haven’t heard anything on their request. We have learned that 311 escalates Service Requests to responding Business Units, but some Business Units only review SRs within 30 days. Can residents be given some feedback on how long it may take to receive a detailed answer?

 

City Manager Jeff Fielding responded that he would follow up with Councillor Keating’s concerns.

 

 

 


 

 

Passage Infrastructure (Councillor Carra)

 

The Harvie Passage is a major piece of infrastructure that the Alberta Government is currently working on to fix the damage done during the 2013 flood. Concerns by the paddle community with respect to embedding anchors on the Harvie Passage facility were forwarded to the Province as advised by City Administration. However, the Province stated that it was up to the City of Calgary to approve the anchors. How can we sync up with the Province and perhaps bring questions through a Standing Policy Committee meeting and get some of these questions answered?

 

City Manager Jeff Fielding answered that The City is currently in discussions with the Province and trying to coordinate the infrastructure and developments so that people of Calgary understand that we are working together. Administration will provide a framework on The City’s conversation with the Councillors’ colleagues at the provincial level.

 

General Manager Pritchard responded that the whole issue with the Harvie Passage is it is a provincial jurisdiction but it does touch a number of Business Units and Departments in the City. GM Pritchard advised Council that Administration had been keeping in touch with the Province to understand the design parameters of the passage and also recognize that Administration needed to stay connected to Community and Protective Services, Parks Department, the Fire Department as well as First Responders. He further advised that the information they have will be provided to Councillor Carra.

 

General Manager Hanson confirmed that there have been challenges for the paddle community. He advised that Recreation was assigned to take a more diligent review with the community group and see what the City can do in terms of influencing and providing feedback to the decision makers in the Province.

 

Mayor Nenshi extended his gratitude to GM Hanson and his team for taking the lead on the issue.

 

 

 

Gender Neutral Washroom in Council Chambers (Councillor Chu)

 

Since Council passed the Notice of Motion with respect to gender neutral washrooms at the 2016 July 25 Regular Meeting of Council, why haven’t we changed the signs on the washrooms behind Council Chambers?

 

Deputy Manager Brad Stevens responded that Administration is working with the Accessibility Committee to determine the proper gender neutral sign. There is no single guideline to what the appropriate signage is. The Accessibility Committee will provide Administration with that information as soon as it is available and the washrooms within the Council Chamber facility will be amongst the first to be changed.
