There will be a Community and Public Services Committee meeting today at 9:30 am. The Committee will discuss renewing the Edmonton Elks licensing agreement for Commonwealth Stadium, as well as last summer’s pilot program which allowed alcohol to be consumed in some City parks. On Tuesday, there is an Urban Planning Committee meeting at 9:30 am - the agenda looks pretty lean.
On Wednesday, at 9:30 am, there will be an Executive Committee meeting. The Committee is being asked to approve an increase in the value of the pipeline agreement with Trans Mountain Pipelines for pipeline protection work to accommodate the Valley Line West LRT project. The costs have increased from $1.5 million to $2.1 million because of “site conditions, additional material and contractor design”, although the increase will be paid for through reallocation of previously approved funding, not through new funding. The Committee will also discuss affordable housing and the replacement of the MacKinnon Ravine Pedestrian Bridge.
Finally, on Friday, there are two committee meetings scheduled. The Council Services Committee will meet at 9:30 am to discuss the Common Travel Plan, which governs funding for Councillors travelling on City business. At 1:30 pm, there will be a meeting of the Code of Conduct Sub-Committee. On the agenda is a report regarding potential changes to the Council Code of Conduct bylaw.
