Ward Boundary Review Stakeholder Report Back: What We Heard 2020 May 28
C2020-0638 Attachment 5 Ward Boundary Review Stakeholder Report Back: What We Heard 2020 May 28 Project overview Ward boundary changes are governed by the Municipal Government Act and the Ward Boundary Determination and Review Policy (the Policy). As part of its review of ward boundaries, The Returning Officer determined that Wards 3, 7 and 12 have population deviations and Ward 5 has an elector count deviation inconsistent with the Policy. Council directed the Returning Officer to conduct a minor review of ward boundaries and will include public engagement on proposed changes to be considered by Council. Engagement overview The purpose of the public engagement is to gather input from Calgarians to inform the Returning Officer’s independent recommendations to Council on proposed ward boundary changes. The engagement started on 2020 February 19 and ended on 2020 April 3. The majority of feedback was collected online through the engage website, and through a direct email address and in-person events. In addition, the Calgary Catholic School District and Calgary School Board were engaged and individual trustees were invited to provide their input online through the engage website. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the final in-person event was cancelled; however ten in-person events were completed prior and the online opportunity was extended by 15 days. Additional email follow up with all community associations was undertaken to encourage online participation. There were two (2) proposed scenarios developed for feedback based on the Ward Boundary Determination and Review Policy. The Policy directs The Returning Officer to consider criteria from the Ward Boundary Determination and Review Policy. -
2019-2020 City Hall School Report to Partners
2019-2020 City Hall School Report to Partners Students explore the East Village model at the East Village Experience Centre In partnership with: “I feel more connected to my city and more in the know. I definitely get the process a lot more as well as how the people within the government work and their effect on local citizens.” ~ Grade 5 student Students find hidden murals in Chinatown Exploring the city This year at City Hall School, students have explored downtown from St. Patrick’s Island on the east side to the Beltline murals on the west side. They have investigated community while looking at “Bridge” by Katie Green. Students visualized in the +15 Soundscape at Arts Commons. They have observed old buildings on Stephen Avenue, building construction of Platform Calgary, and how people used the upgraded underpasses. Each class came to City Hall School with a big idea that could be questions or thoughtful quotes. Two years ago, Journalling in the new Central Library there was a focus on public art and last year, classes were interested in sustainability and the natural world. This year, the main themes were being an active and responsible citizen as well as how to think in an innovative way. This year ended with an unexpected change. Due to the pandemic, all schools were closed in the middle of March. This led to many classes missing their chance to come to City Hall School. Fortunately, these classes are able to come during the 2020-2021 school year. How does City Hall School work? City Hall School is a five-day field study that is jointly run by The City of Calgary’s Calgary Neighbourhoods business unit and Campus Calgary/Open Minds. -

Under Section 153(c) of the Alberta Municipal Government Act, one of the general duties of municipal councillors is to participate in council meetings and council committee meetings and meetings of other bodies to which they are appointed; 2. Preparation, participation, attendance, and voting at meetings on behalf of their constituents is a fundamental democratic expectation and requirement of City Council members; 3.

Council has experienced several committee meetings which have failed to start due to lack of quorum, a meeting that has been lost due to lack of quorum, and extended periods of bare quorum; 5. Council members are often required to be conducting City business at multiple places at the same time, and such absences should be clearly accounted for; 6. It is good governance to review Council policies and practices from time to time; 7. In the past, citizen and advocacy groups have initiated efforts to track and report on the attendance of elected officials; 8. It is in the public’s interest that the attendance record of Council members be disclosed by impartial staff, rather than rely on third party organizations to perform that work; 9. Council has implemented cost effective reporting on matters of public interest, such as disclosure of gifts received and office visitors; 10. -
2019 City of Calgary/CSEC Event Centre Agreement Fact Sheet

Calgary, Alberta T1Y 6Z1 Phone: (403) 262-2390 Fax: (403) 262 2408 E-mail: [email protected] / www.thecdlc.ca 2019 City of Calgary/CSEC Event Centre Agreement Fact Sheet The City of Calgary and the Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation (CSEC) last came to lagerheads over the construction of a new arena complex during the 2017 municipal election, when Ken King and the Calgary Flames organization seemed to go all-in on mayoral hopeful Bill Smith’s candidacy. The proposal then, as the $1.8-billion CalgaryNEXT debacle proposed as a revitalization vanity project in the creosote-tainted West Village did before it, died as a result of hefty corporate demands made on City contributions. Now, the City has commited to front half the costs of the new “event centre” totaling around $275-million. This comes at a time when the City will cut $60-million in operational spending on essential services including fire, policing, transit, among dozens of other programs. The City is slated to retain full ownership of the new facility, putting it on the hook for any structural repair costs over the facility’s lifecycle, while CSEC is tasked with operational, maintenance, and repair costs on the 35-year cost-sharing agreement. CSEC will retain a vast majority of the revenue, while the City will extract smaller fees/rents from the facility over its lifecycle. Here is the breakdown of City cost incurment, revenue projections, cost overrun liability, and other known figures associated with the project. Facts: - Estimated Direct Return on Investment for the City and CMLC: negative $28.9- million. -

The Development Industry and City Council Roll Call Votes in Calgary by Janine Giles and Paul Fairie1
The Development Industry and City Council Roll Call Votes in Calgary By Janine Giles and Paul Fairie1 THIS IS A DRAFT. PLEASE DO NOT CITE WITHOUT PERMISSION. Calgary is a city known for its expansive suburban development. At the same time, the development industry is hypothesized by political economists to have significant influence over city decision making. Using roll call votes, campaign finance data, census data and a publicly available video where the development industry candidly discusses their assessment of city council members, it is possible to analyze the structuring role of donations from developers on city council decisions, and the capacity of the development industry to assess the structure of city council voting blocs. We find that developer donations have a structuring role for council decision making, and find considerable evidence that the development industry has a accurate evaluation of city council decision making. Of all the leaked videos concerning municipal ber 2010 to April 2013 and ward-level characteris- politics released in 2013, a video of developers, tics drawn from various censuses, we test competing meeting in private to plan a co-ordinated e↵ort to accounts of municipal power structures.

PRESS RELEASE – Immediate Tax Relief for Calgary Businesses
PRESS RELEASE – Immediate Tax Relief for Calgary Businesses Calgary, Alberta and Quebec City, Quebec – May 30, 2019 City Council is very aware of the significant tax burden on Calgary businesses as a result of the severe economic downturn. Like the Government of Alberta, we also believe it is critical to reduce business taxes in Calgary. With the Province’s past practice of taking approximately $780M out of Calgary each year from our property taxes – we must all immediately work together to solve this problem. Today we jointly announce that we will bring forward an Urgent Notice of Motion on June 17 directing Administration to: 1. Apply the $70.9 million immediately to non residential taxpayers. 2. Request admin to find an additional $60 million in savings in 2019 and beyond. 3. Formally request our partners in the provincial government to match the $60M. 4. Commit to apply this $190.9M in savings to the non-residential property tax accounts on a basis proportional to their increases. While many paths have been explored to resolve the problem without consensus and Council, collectively, did not have the leadership to develop one path forward, the undersigned have since worked tirelessly and collaboratively both at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Conference and in Calgary on an immediate course of action. Today, as a unified group of City Councillors, we are taking forward a plan to address the immediate need for tax relief to the businesses that drive the Calgary economy and make this a world-class city. Today, several Councillors - Shane Keating, George Chahal, Ward Sutherland, Jyoti Gondek, Peter Demong, Jeff Davison, Joe Magliocca, Druh Farrell and Gian-Carlo Carra – and Mayor Naheed Nenshi collaborated from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference in Quebec City, along with Councillors Diane Colley-Urquhart, Sean Chu, Ray Jones, and Evan Woolley locally in Calgary to announce a plan to provide substantial relief to Calgary businesses. -
