THIS WEEK IN EDMONTON
- There will be a meeting of City Council this morning at 9:30 am to discuss a high level process for the 2023-2026 operating, capital, and utility budget deliberations. The proposed timeline suggests that the capital budget will be released October 20th, the operating budget on November 3rd, and the utility budget on November 10th. The City will also discuss several new and amended bylaws, most of which pertain to financing improvements around Falcon Towers. On Tuesday, there will be an Agenda Review Committee meeting at 9:00 am.
- On Wednesday, there will be a Council Services Committee meeting from 9:30 am to 12:00 pm to discuss the Council Calendar Feedback Report as well as a confidential addendum to the HR policy for Councillor’s staff. There will be a City Council Public Hearing from 1:30 pm to 9:30 pm to discuss several zoning and land use amendments. These types of meetings may become a thing of the past as the City is considering a new zoning bylaw to accommodate a wider range of development.
- If Monday’s City Council meeting doesn’t wrap up by end of day, it will continue at 9:30 am on Friday. Also on Friday, at 1:30 pm, there will be a Non-Regular City Council meeting held entirely in-camera to discuss budget planning.
