PRESENTATION(S) AND RECOGNITION(S)

CAMA WILLIS AWARD FOR INNOVATION

The City of Calgary has been awarded the 2016 Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators (CAMA) – Willis Award for Innovation for the Residential ePermit Project. The award recognizes the creative thinking, innovation and hard work of The City of Calgary staff that developed an online tool that makes it faster and easier to do business with The City.

The Residential ePermit has cut red tape by simplifying the application process for new home construction permits, enabling industry customers to apply for permits, pay for services and manage inspections online. Calgary was the first municipality in Canada to offer a single online tool to provide these services, which has resulted in significant savings for customers and The City.

Mayor Nenshi introduced Mr. Marc Landry from the CAMA Board of Directors who could not be in attendance at the meeting but sent his remarks via video to present the award to The City of Calgary. City Manager and CAMA Member Jeff Fielding accepted the award on behalf of The City of Calgary, leading by example by cutting red tape and helping build a great city.

Mayor Nenshi acknowledged the Residential ePermit program as a terrific example of a transforming government, one that puts the citizens at the centre of everything The City does and finding even better ways to better our services. Mayor Nenshi extended his gratitude and congratulations to the whole team.

QUESTION PERIOD

(1)  Impact of Census on the Operating and Capital Budget Planning (Councillor Pootmans)

What impact will the latest census have on our 2016 – 2018 operating and capital budget planning?

City Manager Jeff Fielding responded that the numbers are now where Administration predicted they would be at this point in time, although, the City got here in very different ways. The City did not have three consecutive years where there is an equal amount of growth in each of those years. For the perspective of looking at what needs to be done in 2017 and 2018, City Manager Fielding stated that Administration will have to back out the growth that was embedded in the action plan and to start that process immediately. This could include a reduction in staffing levels originally planned for the forecasted growth. City Manager Fielding further noted that other issues will be addressed in the 2018 budget going forward as well as the longer term of four years following the next election. Administration will be prepared to make the necessary changes.

(2)  Cell Phone Towers on City Lands (Councillor Keating)

City Council passed a motion that city property may, in certain circumstances, be used as a location for cell towers in a set order of preference and the city property must be considered first then followed by Canadian Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) lands. I had at least three requests wherein they were refused by City Administration simply because tentative plans are in place in as much as 20 to 30 years in the future for those lands. However, cell towers only require a small 15 meter by 15 meter footprint. It seems like it can be a workaround in the future especially on lands that are seven to eight acres and this will take the cell towers away from residential areas which is what we prefer. I just want to reaffirm that it is Council’s directive to put the cell towers on city property, first priority if we can?

City Manager Jeff Fielding confirmed that it is Council’s direction to allow cell towers on city property as per The City’s order of preference and he was only made aware of the issue in the last two weeks. He advised Councillor Keating that he will follow up and give more clarification as soon as possible.

(3)  Staff Appreciation (Councillor Demong)

As you are aware, every year, the day before mother’s day, the scout troops of South Calgary hold a soap box derby in my ward. A number of Councillors and the General Manager of Transportation joined us this year. Unfortunately, the Scout facilitator, Walt Mathis took ill and had to be hospitalized and Scout, John Arthurs, took over and facilitated the permits through the City of Calgary. A City of Calgary employee, Kiersten Crowe, Event Coordinator, Recreation was absolutely stupendous in managing and helping Mr. Arthurs. I was wondering, how would I go about giving the biggest bouquet possible to Ms. Crowe in order to thank her for her job in facilitating this event?

General Manager Kurt Hanson suggested that he and Councillor Demong meet with Ms. Crowe to recognize her great work.

Mayor Nenshi further reminded Council that there are nearly twenty thousand employees in The City who do extraordinary work each day and there are many ways to appreciate them including the Corporate Awards program. Mayor Nenshi recommended sending out a cheers card or asking the Mayor to give the exemplary employee a call to recognize their above and beyond work.
