1.

OPENING

 

Mayor Nenshi invited all present to rise and called for a moment of quiet contemplation to reflect on the many horrible acts of hate and violence that have occurred globally in recent days, including the loss of Jo Cox, a young British Parliamentarian. He further reflected that this weekend, Calgary held its third annual Neighbour Day celebrations where communities had the opportunity to display acts of neighbourliness and love. It was a reminder that hate never wins but that love always will.

 

Mayor Nenshi further commented that today is not only World Refugee Day, a day to remember all those around the world who have been displaced from their homes by violence, war, or poverty, but also the start of National Aboriginal Week, a week to reflect on reconciliation with our Aboriginal brothers and sisters. Mayor Nenshi encouraged Council, and those present, to be mindful of how we will continue to build community together.

PRESENTATION(S) AND RECOGNITION(S)

 

FCM’S CANADIAN WOMEN IN MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT SCHOLARSHIP AWARD

 

Mayor Nenshi invited Councillor Pincott to introduce the Federation of Canadian Municipalities 2016 Canadian Women in Municipal Government Scholarship Recipient, Tiffany Lee, an exceptional young woman, now graduated from Central Memorial High School.

 

Councillor Pincott explained that this yearly scholarship is awarded to young women across Canada who demonstrate leadership within their high schools. This is part of the FCM’s Standing Committee on increasing women’s participation in local governmental work; a committee on which Councillor Pincott has served. The goal of this committee is to see more young women become engaged in local government and for them to consider it as a viable career path. He advised that the United Nations has set a target of at least 30 per cent female representation in all orders of government as at this representation the balance tips and the conversation changes. Ms. Lee is a young woman who has shown considerable leadership within her high school. In grade 10, she saw a problem with engagement, participation, and student apathy in how the students worked together as a community. Throughout her high school career she has worked in a strong leadership capacity to build student spirit and community. It is this leadership that Ms. Lee has shown from such a young age that must be encouraged in all young women. The key to solving so many issues is to ensure that young women across the planet have access to education.

 

Councillor Pincott congratulated Ms. Lee and stated that it was his pleasure to be able to recognize the passion and commitment she has demonstrated. Ms. Lee plans on focusing her studies on governance and international relations at the University of British Columbia in the fall.

QUESTION PERIOD

 

(1)           NEIGHBOUR DAY SUCCESS AND THE ASSOCIATED PERMIT FEES     (Councillor Pootmans)

 

Neighbour Day, held this past Saturday, was a great success and all Wards did extremely well with their scheduled events. Were there more Neighbour Day events held this year as compared to those held last year? Additionally, I have heard from some communities that they still had to pay a fairly high fee for road closures. Could some clarity be provided?

 

Kurt Hanson, General Manager, Community Services, advised that this was a wonderful weekend and many Neighbour Day events took place across the city. This year, The City received 140 permit requests while last year they received 70. In terms of permit fees, as a standard, The City does not waive permit or business fees for community associations nor for block parties run by community associations. This is something that falls under the Festival and Events Guide, which could be reviewed.

 

Mayor Nenshi elaborated by stating that currently the cost of waived permit fees is absorbed by both the Mayor’s Office and the Departments in question. Of the 140 applications mentioned, 130 permit fees were waived while the remaining 10 were deemed to be event permits requiring larger road closures resulting in transit or road detours and so fees applied. Of those 10, one was a community association event where relocation was not feasible. Normally community associations can find community green space where a transit detour would not be required but, in this instance, the Eau Claire Community Association, which is downtown, had no alternative location for its event. Therefore, alternatives may have to be considered.

 

 

 

(2)           NON-RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TAX AND BUSINESS TAX (Councillor Chu)

 

Many companies and restaurants have been hit very hard due to the current economic downturn and, as a result, there are high vacancy rates within the city. Recently, I received a call from a constituent who owns a small commercial property which she leases but the space has been vacant for over a year. I was informed that her non-residential taxes have recently increased. Are tax levels higher on vacant properties?

 

Jeff Fielding, City Manager, responded by stating that although City Hall does have to show some empathy and understanding in terms of the impact these economic difficulties are having on businesses, there is a lot of misinformation in terms of assessment, property taxes, and business taxes. There needs to be more clarity and dialogue in terms of what is available to assist businesses and The City should strive to properly communicate technical, correct answers to citizens. 

 

Eric Sawyer, Chief Financial Officer, added that business tax is currently being consolidated with the non-residential property tax. When a building is fully occupied, an owner would off-set this onto tenants and the consolidation would have little impact. There would be a noticeable impact if an owner of a non-residential property does not have tenants in all of the available spaces and this could result in an increase. Mr. Sawyer assured Councillor Chu that he would be happy to contact the aforementioned citizen.

 

Mayor Nenshi added that the assessment for non-residential properties is also based on rental value. Therefore, in the downtown core where there are higher vacancy rates as well as lower rents, assessments and property taxes have subsequently gone down. It is possible that there may have been an issue with the assessment if this owner had not reported that the space was vacant or the rents had changed. Unfortunately, the Assessment Appeal period closed in March, but business owners should bring this to the Assessment Department’s attention if they have concerns when they receive their assessments in January. The Mayor stated that he has asked Mr. Sawyer and Mr. Fielding to consider two things in devising ways to better communicate with Calgarians: how the monthly TIPP payments are calculated so that people will not be subject to a June shock; and the timing of delivery of business and non-residential property tax bills.

 

 

(3)           GREEN LINE FUNDING AND REPERCUSSIONS (Councillor Keating)

 

It is extremely difficult for Members of Council to be 100 per cent informed on all issues. Lately, there have been some non-factual comments in the media concerning the Green Line. Council needs to be aware of the repercussions of continuing to repeat comments that are incorrect. Is the Green Line project delayed and what are the repercussions of comments suggesting The City will be pulling back on its financial contributions to this project?

 

Mac Logan, General Manager, Transportation, stated that the Green Line project is not delayed. A set of milestones was set out for Council and those are updated and reported on Quarterly. The optimal times have not been achieved but there has not been a set timeframe in which these milestones were to be completed. In terms of repercussions, both of the Provincial and Federal Government are seeking assurances from The City of Calgary that the Green Line remains a priority project and that The City is moving forward in an expeditious manner. The Federal and Provincial Governments will soon consider their major capitol programs for public transit, most notably the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund offered by the Federal Government, and they will expect The City to be prepared to act as a significant participant.  

 

Mayor Nenshi commented that the estimated costs associated with the Green Line project are becoming very large and even a little intimidating, but financial totals are required so that he can continue negotiations with both of the higher levels of government. He cautioned Council that he could not enter into negotiations asking for a commitment if The City was reneging on its own financial commitment.
