THIS WEEK IN EDMONTON

  • City Council is meeting today at 9:30 am to discuss a relatively large agenda, including the hot button issues of LRT safety, fines and penalties for excess vehicle noise (courtesy of Councillor Janz), and efficiencies in municipal service delivery. Administration is supposed to report back to Council with options to reduce the City's budget by about $10 million, but given the City's budget totals more than $3 billion, that would represent just an 0.3% cut, even if Council agrees to implement it.
  • On Tuesday, there will be the Agenda Review Committee at 9:00 am. The Council Services Committee will follow at 9:30 am and will discuss the travel plan and furniture plan for Councillors, amongst other items. Finally, there will be a City Council Public Hearing at 1:30 pm to consider zoning amendments.
  • Should the City Council Meeting not conclude on Monday, it will continue at 9:30 am on Wednesday. On Thursday at 9:30 am, there will be a meeting of the City Manager and City Auditor Performance Evaluation Committee which will be held in-camera.
