QUESTION PERIOD

 

Provincial Budget Impacts on The City (Councillor Colley-Urquhart)

 

Can you advise what the potential impacts on The City might be, in view of the recent provincial budget announcements?

 

Eric Sawyer, City Manager (Interim), advised that following the provincial budget announcement Administration analyzed the potential impacts on The City’s operating and capital budgets.  He relayed concerns that as Family and Community Support Services saw no increase, there was only a small increase in the Municipal Sustainability Initiative and there was no commitment to building affordable housing.  The City Manager (Interim) indicated there was an increase in funds for the homeless and a schedule release on GreenTrip funding.  Further, he advised that funds were also identified for disaster recovery and that Administration is currently working with all existing programs to maximize recoveries.  In conclusion, Mr. Sawyer indicated he did not see significant impacts from an operating perspective. 

 

 

 

Historic McHugh House (Councillor Woolley)

 

Can you provide me with an update on the work being done to protect the Historic McHugh House?

 

Mayor Nenshi responded that thanks to the generosity of the Catholic diocese, The City has negotiated an extension in time in order to relocate the McHugh House, the 6th oldest home in Calgary.  The Mayor thanked Councillor Woolley and his staff for their work to preserve this important piece of Calgary’s history.  He advised that generations of Calgarians will now be able to enjoy the historic McHugh House.

“Moved by Councillor Sutherland, Seconded by Councillor Magliocca, that Councillors Sutherland, Keating and Magliocca’s Revised Motion, NM2014-08, be adopted, after amendment, as follows:

 

WHEREAS Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission regulations set the maximum hours of liquor service from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. daily with the consumption of liquor permitted on premises until 3:00 a.m.;

 

AND WHEREAS however, current liquor policy poses a problem for police who report that during weekend nights, resources are stretched to the point it is difficult for them to respond to critical incidents while dealing with the surge of common complaints at closing time, such as fights, noise and public urination;

 

AND WHEREAS as when bars simultaneously close at 2:00 a.m., large crowds leaving establishments are faced with limited transportation choices loiter on the streets in which case increases the opportunity for people to precipitate assaults;

 

AND WHEREAS taxis in particular are left to deal with the sudden surge of patrons leading to inconvenience, which increases rates of public nuisance and, more dangerously, impaired driving;

 

AND WHEREAS Council recommends the implementation of staggered closing hours would decrease assaults that occur when a crowd simultaneously dispersing from the bar;

 

AND WHEREAS staggering hours would reduce the number of patrons lingering on the streets competing for limited transportation where socially incompatible groups are most likely to precipitate assaults;

 

AND WHEREAS staggered closing hours would result in patrons leaving at different times, which would decrease the size of the crowd loitering on the street competing for a limited number of taxis at one point of time;

 

AND WHEREAS staggered closing hours would result in decreasing the high demand for limited number of taxis at one time;

 

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Council request the Mayor to send a letter on behalf of Council, no later than March 28, 2014, requesting the President of Treasury Board and the Minister of Finance to amend the necessary regulations to change the maximum hours of liquor service to 3:00 a.m. and to change the time the consumption of liquor is permitted on premises to 4:00 a.m.”

AND WHEREAS seniors contribute significantly to the volunteer work force in Calgary in which they rely on an economical and safe means of transportation in which to volunteer;
