PRESENTATION(S) AND RECOGNITION(S)

2.1

2017 AWARD FOR CANADA'S GREENEST EMPLOYERS

Deputy Mayor Woolley, on behalf of Members of Council, recognized The City of Calgary being named, for the second consecutive year, as one of Canada’s Greenest Employers for 2017.  This award acknowledges and recognizes some 70 Canadian employers who are leading the way in environmental sustainability. Deputy Mayor Woolley invited General Manager, Utilities & Environmental Protection, Rob Pritchard forward to accept the award.

GM Rob Pritchard acknowledged that as a large municipality, we have a responsibility to lead by example in our operations and in the greater community and that being recognized two years in a row is a great achievement.  The City has made great steps in reducing its environmental impact such as its robust “30 in 30” water conservation strategy to reduce consumption by 30% over 30 years. GM Pritchard advised that environmental stewardship is something we should live and practice, day in and day out. He stated that it was part of our enduring responsibility as municipal leaders and that having this portfolio under his watch has left him very proud of The City’s achievements.

GM Pritchard accepted the award and added that he was proud to be accepting this recognition on behalf of his colleagues and on behalf of all City employees.

Deputy Mayor Woolley offered congratulations to all who were involved and stated that a healthy and green city is one of Council’s priorities and it is great to see the strides that The City is making towards that goal and to be recognized for that.

2.2

2017 WARD 14 WORD SMITH ESSAY CONTEST

Deputy Mayor Woolley invited Councillor Demong to introduce the winner of the 6th Annual Ward 14 Wordsmith Award.

Councillor Demong expressed that hundreds of students visit City Council every year and in

grade six, they study municipal government. He explained that the 6th Annual Ward 14

Wordsmith contest was held to inspire interest on municipal government and invited the

students to submit essays answering the question, “Why should I care about Municipal

Government?”

Councillor Demong introduced a group of grade six students from St. Teresa of Calcutta School, in attendance in the public gallery. The essays displayed were very inspiring, and one entry stood out from the others. Councillor Demong shared the winning essay by Carine Howie entitled “Why should I care about Municipal Government”. He invited Carine Howie, as winner of the 2017 edition of the Annual Ward 14 Wordsmith Award, to come forward to accept her award, a signed Johnny Gaudreau jersey from the Calgary Flames and to accept congratulations on behalf of Members of Council and Deputy Mayor Woolley.

QUESTION PERIOD

(1)   APPROPRIATE CHANNELS FOR PUBLIC OF INNOVATIVE PRODUCT IDEAS (COUNCILLOR CARRA)

The current economic downturn has resulted in discussions around the need to diversify and innovate. Several Councillor Offices have received proposals from the public for products and opportunities to partner with The City in a business relationship.  There is a clear conflict of interest for Councillors, as politicians, to broker deals in procurement situations and enter business relationships on behalf of The City with members of the public. What is the protocol for entertaining proposals of innovative products that could benefit the Organization and improve City services?

Deputy City Manager, Brad Stevens, responded that the City has an innovation lab and Lisa Sierra, Manager, Corporate Analytics and Innovation, would be able to act as a conduit for these innovative product ideas, and subsequent to the Canadian Free Trade Agreements, process them as part of The City’s innovation work.

(2)    THE PROVINCE OF ALBERTA’S CREDIT RATING EFFECT ON CURRENT CAPITAL         WORKS PROJECTS (COUNCILLOR MAGLIOCCA)

The Province of Alberta has recently been downgraded to a credit score of A+. How will this affect the Green Line project and the way other debt is a managed?

Eric Sawyer, Chief Financial Officer, responded that The City’s credit score which currently starts at AA+ is not affected by The Province’s credit score. He explained that The City manages debt tightly and the financing for The Green Line project has yet to be finalized and that The City has every intention on completing it within our debt limits.

(3)     WARD BOUNDARY CHANGES INFORMATION (COUNCILLOR CHU)

There are still a large number of people who do not know that the ward boundaries are going to be changing with the upcoming election. What is The City doing to ensure that the ward boundary changes are being communicated to the public?

Jeff Fielding, City Manager, responded that this will be taken under advisement and will respond to citizens with any changes.

INTRODUCTION

Councillor Pincott introduced a group of 35 grade six students from the Connect Charter School, in attendance in the public gallery, accompanied by their teacher, Mrs. Fawcett, and volunteer tour guides, Helen Tomicic, Bill Rokosh, Phyllis Hawley, Dianna Dryden.
