OPENING

Mayor Nenshi called for a moment of quiet contemplation on community and reflection on the power of building community together at today’s Meeting.  

2.

QUESTION PERIOD

1)    LAST MILE PROGRAM (COUNCILLOR MAGLIOCCA)

Edmonton has recently implemented a program called ‘The Last Mile’ in their suburban neighborhoods.  They have started using an Uber-type van to transport people to various transportation hubs. By doing this, Edmonton is saving themselves thousands of dollars every day. Is Administration aware of this system and, if so, is it something that could be beneficial for Calgary?

General Manager, Transportation, Mac Logan, responded by stating that Administration is familiar with the ‘Last Mile’ concept but that they were not aware that Edmonton had launched this service. That being the case, Airdrie is currently using this system. The final transportation service runs, in and out of a community, during off peak hours, are the least cost effective services that The City provides but they are very important to Calgarians. The City’s forward looking documents, such as RouteAhead, do mention this type of cost effective service but, at this point, although the Department is closely monitoring this program, it is not prepared to launch it.

2)    COUNCIL COMPENSATION REVIEW COMMITTEE AND ENGAGING CALGARIANS (COUNCILLOR CHU)

Council, and Administration, continuously speak about engaging Calgarians. Last week it was reported that a Member of the Council Compensation Review Committee stated that the Committee was not permitted to engage the public. Why was the Council Compensation Review Committee not allowed, or prevented from, reaching out to the public?

Director, Customer Service and Communication, Nelson Karpa, responded by stating that it was his understanding, based on Communication’s standpoint, that Administration was supportive of public engagement. Administration was concerned with the Committee’s desire to conduct engagement through the Calgary.ca website or through an email blast using a City of Calgary email address. It was Administration’s position that it was extremely important to ensure total transparency for this process; Administration did not want to be seen as perhaps having an influence on a Committee tasked with discussing and debating the compensation of Council. Further, Administration did have discussions with the Committee to try and assist them in preparing a request proposal so that they could acquire outside, third party, engagement support services. Mr. Karpa reiterated that it was Administration’s position that public engagement would be helpful to the Committee, but it was felt that it was essential that Administration ensure complete transparency and maintain separation so that it would not be perceived as a potential influence on the decision of the Council Compensation Review Committee.

ADMINISTRATIVE INQUIRIES

ALARM SERVICES BYLAW – 31M95 (COUNCILLOR KEATING)

In 2016, Council approved changes to the Alarm Services Bylaw (31M95). This included changes to the fees for false alarms as well as a permit fee that became effective in January 2017.  I have been receiving feedback and questions from residents about the permit fee.  Specifically, what is the permit fee used for?  And why are the same fees being charged where the alarm ties into a security company and not directly to the police?

LANDFILL HOURS OF OPERATION (COUNCILLOR KEATING)

At Council on 2017 March 13 I asked about revised landfill hours at the Shepard WMF. Specifically, I asked if non-consecutive schedules were considered that may allow for Shepard WMF to be open on a weekend day. The response from the Waste and Recycling Services Director stated that operational practices are to apply extra dirt when site is closed for longer than 24 hour periods. It was my understanding landfills sites are covered at the close of business every day. Is this not sufficient for periods longer than 24 hours?

Since landfill hours have been changed there has been a marked increase in illegal dumping in alleyways. The Roads Department saw a 29 per cent increase in April and 64 per cent increase in May. Were the costs of cleaning up increased illegal dumping factored into the savings found by reducing landfill hours?

Do we see changes in demand for landfill services at different points of the year? Would there be value in having different seasonal hours for landfills as opposed to standard hour adjustments?
