1.

OPENING

 

Mayor Nenshi called for a moment of quiet contemplation at today’s Meeting.

 

 

MOMENT OF SILENCE

 

Mayor Nenshi, on behalf of Members of Council, requested a moment of silence to honour the loss of Ryan Bjolverud, a firefighter with the Calgary Fire Department who passed away in British Columbia on  Sunday, 2015 June 28.  The Mayor offered condolences to the Bjolverud family, and Ryan’s father, Assistant Deputy Chief Glenn Bjolverud, for their loss.

 

 

2.

QUESTION PERIOD

 

(1)     Progress on the Sarcee Trail Paving Project (Councillor Pootmans)

 

Currently The City is performing milling on Scarce Trail, in the northern part of the City’s paving project area. Can you provide an update on the progress of this project, and in particular, the interface between repaving Sarcee Trail and the anticipated construction of a traffic circle?

 

Mac Logan, General Manager, Transportation, responded that Scarce Trail between Richmond Road and the Trans Canada Highway is included in this year’s repaving program.  Some broken curbs have been replaced to improve drainage, and milling has occurred in preparation for repaving. Paving will commence the second week of July, and is planned to begin 350 metres south of Bowglen Crescent. General Manager Logan advised that there is a pending land use item (Trinity – Paskapoo Project) with a developer who may do some construction on Sarcee Trail. An agreement is not yet signed, so the City may adjust the paving timeline pending the outcome, to avoid paving an area that may then undergo new construction.

 

 

(2)     New Building Canada Funding Dispursements (Councillor Demong)

 

Recently the New Building Canada Fund dispersed $2.0 Billion dollars in grant funding to Canadian municipalities.  I have heard that $1.2 Billion have been dispersed to Quebec municipalities, $600 Million to Ontario municipalities and $2.5 million to Alberta municipalities.  Did The City of Calgary apply for this funding and what was the response from the Federal Government?

 

Mac Logan, General Manager, Transportation, responded that the Transportation Department facilitated three funding applications on behalf of The City of Calgary. One application was on behalf of the Water Services Department for a drainage project; one application was for three interchange projects in support of our Goods Movement Corridor; and one application for the Greenline Transit Project.  He advised that the Federal Government did not approve the first two applications, and that there has been an exchange of more detailed information for the third application. General Manager Logan indicated that discussion is ongoing about whether the Greenline application would be better suited to being rolled up into a larger application through the new federal Public Transit Fund.

 

 

(3)     Release of Invasive Fish Species into City Storm Ponds (Councillor Chu)

 

There have been reports that people are releasing an invasive species of fish (Prussian carp) into Calgary storm ponds, specifically in my ward and Councillor Magliocca’s ward.  If these fish get into the river system it will be devastating.  What is The City doing to educate the public and prevent this from happening?

 

Rob Pritchard, General Manager, Utilities and Environmental Protection responded that the release of invasive fish species into the City’s storm pond system is a serious issue, as these fish could easily migrate into the river system and upset local river eco-systems.  General Manager Pritchard indicated that the Utilities and Environmental Protection Department is working closely with Animal and Bylaw Services and with Alberta Environment, in order to increase awareness of the problem. Since releasing fish into storm ponds is prohibited in the Drainage Bylaw, increased signage at City storm pond locations and an increased presence from Bylaw Officers will focus on improving education and awareness.
