On Monday, at 9:30 am, there will be a City Council meeting. On the agenda are several Public Reports, including the Truth & Reconciliation Commission Implementation Plan Update, 2022 Anti-racism Grants Program Recommendations, and the proposed 2023-2026 Capital Budget. Some of the high-level items in the budget include $66 million for an eight-year tree planting program, $3.23 billion for the LRT expansion, Yellowhead Trail Freeway Conversion, and Blatchford Redevelopment, and $439 million for “environmental protection.” The details will come out during later debates. As this Council meeting will likely be a lengthy one, a continuation is scheduled for Wednesday at 9:30 am.
On Tuesday there will be three meetings. The Agenda Review Committee meets at 9:00 am, followed by a meeting of the Emergency Advisory Committee at 9:30 am. There will also be a City Council Public Hearing at 1:30 pm to address zoning amendments.
On Thursday, at 9:00 am, there will be a Special Council Services Committee meeting to discuss a private report. On Friday, at 9:30 am, there will be a Utility Committee meeting to discuss proposed improvements to reporting by Epcor Water Services, a North Saskatchewan River Regional Plan Status Update, and an annual update on the Blatchford Renewable Energy Utility Business Plan.
