1.

OPENING PRAYER

 

Mayor Nenshi gave the opening prayer at today's meeting.

 

RECOGNITION

 

Mayor Nenshi spoke briefly about the Canadian Olympic team, competing this week in Sochi, Russia. He advised that almost 25 per cent of the team were Albertans, many of whom train in Calgary. The Mayor was pleased to witness Charles Hamelin’s gold medal, and expressed his excitement over the medal prospects of other Calgarian athletes in the days to come.

 

In response to Councillor Colley-Urquhart’s question on whether The City of Calgary was permitted to raise the Olympic Flag, the Mayor replied that so far, The City has been unable to obtain permission from the Canadian Olympic Committee. He indicated that The City attempted to get permission to raise the Olympic Flag once before, during the 2012 London Olympics, but were denied permission.  He stated that former host cities are only permitted to possess one Olympic Flag, and currently, The City’s flag is framed and displayed in the Council Chamber.  Mayor Nenshi hoped to receive a response from the Canadian Olympic Committee or the International Olympic Committee, within a few days.

 

 

2.

QUESTION PERIOD

 

1) Road Safety on Glenmore Trail (Councillor Carra)

 

Recently a second fatality occurred on Glenmore Trail between Deerfoot and Blackfoot Trails.  Both accidents involved pickup trucks losing control and going over the barriers into oncoming traffic.  In the first accident there was snow on the embankment, however this time snow doesn’t appear to be a factor.  Can you provide me with what is being done to prevent future accidents at this location and is special mitigation required?

 

Mac Logan, General Manager, Transportation, responded that his Department was working with the Calgary Police Service to determine exactly how this accident occurred and cautioned that not all of the media coverage was accurate.  Mr. Logan stated that Administration is looking at various factors to increase the safety of the road, which may include increasing the height of the barriers as well as adding more barriers where needed.  He indicated driver behaviour is a significant contributing factor and that Calgarians also need to be mindful of their speed, road conditions and the condition of their vehicles.

 

 

2) Calgary Police Service Fine Revenue (Councillor Colley-Urquhart)

 

Recently there were comments made and reported in the local media that the Calgary Police Service operating budget is determined without taking into consideration revenue from fines.  Can you verify the accuracy of this statement and advise on actual budgetary practice?

 

Eric Sawyer, City Manager, responded that the Calgary Police Service does budget annually for fine revenue.  He indicated that in 2013 the budgeted fine revenue was $39 Million and the actual fine revenue was $36 Million.  Mr. Sawyer advised that the shortfall in revenue was made up from other areas of their operation. Additionally, if revenues were to exceed the budgeted amount, the additional funds would be transferred to the Calgary Police Service Capital Reserve.   He concluded that including the $39 Million into the budget served to reduce the Calgary Police Service draw on the mill rate.

 

 

3) Light Rail Transit Maintenance (Councillor Pootmans)

 

It appears to me that Light Rail Transit (LRT) has performed much better this year than in previous years.  With an aging fleet, I am wondering if you can advise, what are some of the solutions you are using to make sure that it continues to perform as required for our transit users?

 

Mac Logan, General Manager, Transportation, advised that his Department was spending more on LRT maintenance than in previous years with good progress being made.  He indicated that there are usually more maintenance issues in cold weather that may go unnoticed in the summer, however most of the winter issues have been dealt with at this point. Mr. Logan noted that overall there have been fewer maintenance issues this year and with new LRT cars arriving in a couple of years, they will become even less frequent.
