AGENDA REPORT

Meeting Date (M/D/Y): 9/4/2012 Subject: 2013 Airdrie Regional Air Show Request for Support

Boards Routed Through: Date: City Council 9/4/2012 Community Services Advisory Board 7/9/2012 Corporate Planning Team 6/7/2012

Description:

Council is being asked to support the 2013 Airdrie Regional Air Show.

Background:

In 2009 and 2011, the Airdrie Regional Air Show Committee requested gift in kind support from the City of Airdrie. The Airdrie Regional Air Show Committee is making a similar request for the 2013 Air Show.

Supporting this type of request aligns well with Council’s 2013 strategic priority of “Arts & Culture in Motion”: continue to support community-grown and led arts and cultural events to enhance our citizens’ quality of life.”

The request for support further aligns with AirdrieONE goals under Arts, Culture and Recreation: “There are many year-round opportunities for community members of all ages to participate in arts, culture and heritage activities.”

Strategies for enhancing arts, culture and recreation also include facilitating sustainable events. It states that “the City will work with community groups and event organizers to integrate sustainability into the design and delivery of events and facilities”. Sustainability measures the Committee has established in regards to this event include the following:

Retaining core volunteers not only on the Airdrie Regional Air Show Committee’s board of directors, but experienced volunteers for the day of the event. In addition to these core volunteers, the Committee also has obtained new volunteers for both the organizing committee and event day to ensure a strong volunteer contingency is in place.

Providing training opportunities to key air show volunteers by sending them to the International Convention of Air Shows and the North West Council of Air Shows Convention.

Building a strong relationship with the City of Airdrie and Rocky View County.

Giving back to community partners: the Airdrie Regional Air Show gives back to other not for profit organizations that volunteer at the event. In 2011, the Committee gave $6,000 back to partnering community groups.

The Air Show strives to lessen the impact on the environment by separating recyclable materials from the garbage, as well as asking vendors to use sustainable packaging and products. The Committee has received many comments on how clean the grounds are during and after an event.

The Committee ensures that sustainable transportation options are available in conjunction with their event. Bus transportation is provided to and from the Air Show at regular intervals to lessen the amount of single vehicles driving to the event, better manage onsite parking, and reduce impacts to the environment from vehicle emissions.

Work with Economic Development to determine the economic impact of the Air Show event to better measure the impact of the Air Show as an economic generator.

The following budget has been prepared by the Committee and the gift in kind support they are requesting is noted below. The Committee will also be approaching Rocky View County to request gift in kind support for fire services.

2. That Council may decide not to endorse the Airdrie Regional Air Show Committee’s request for support of the above outlined items.

3. That Council decides to endorse a portion of the items to the Airdrie Regional Air Show listed above.

Public Relations/Marketing Plan:

Community Development will work with Economic Development and the Air Show Committee to complete an economic impact study of the event, using the tool kit to be provided to the Air Show.

The City of Airdrie will be recognized as a sponsor in all Air Show publications and marketing materials.

Boards Routed Through:

Staff presented to the corporate planning team on June 7, 2012. CPT commented that the City of Airdrie’s support would most likely be higher this year because of the annexation of the Air Park.

The Community Services Advisory Board’s scope and terms of reference as an advisory body to Council only pertains to transit service and so Staff presented to Community Services Advisory Board and provided a recommendation to Council for endorsement of the transit related expenses of $2,200.00. All other expenses are up to Council to approve.

Recommendation:

AGENDA REPORT

Meeting Date (M/D/Y): 8/30/2012 Subject: Boys and Girls Club of Airdrie Request

Boards Routed Through: Date: Corporate Planning Team 8/30/2012 City Council 9/4/2012

Description:

The Boys and Girls Club of Airdrie is asking to lease the former RCMP building from October 8 to November 4, 2012.

Background:

The RCMP relocated to 2 Highland Park Way, NE Airdrie on the 7th August 2012, the entire move took three days. Following which the locks have been changed from RCMP to contractor locks by the RCMP, Building Operations have provisionally cleaned the building, and arranged for a contractor to cut the locks out of the cell doors. The RCMP Security system has been removed from the building, and the two ATCO trailers that were used for locker room and gym have been removed. The shed in the next few days used for Traffic evidence and tire storage will be relocated to 2 Highland Park. Finally, a walkthrough with the RCMP as an official handover will be arranged.

Corporate Properties organized an appraisal and best use assessment of the property through Valera Consulting. Corporate Properties is organizing an expression of interest for the property and will be reporting to Council upon completion. The Airdrie Boys and Girls requested use of 905 Edmonton Trail for a Halloween event. The timing of which can be accommodated prior to any alternative use. The Boys & Girls Club of Airdrie (BGCA) has hosted an annual Halloween Haunted House event in the community for the past six years. In the initial years, BGCA held the event at their Allen Street location, disrupting programs and services for children and youth. In addition, the haunted house would only operate over a single weekend, resulting in very little revenue. In 2010 and 2011 the BGCA partnered with Alberta Model Engineering Society to host the event outdoors at Iron Horse Park, with the profits being split between the two organizations.

Based on feedback from participants in the past two years, the BGCA has decided to move their haunted house back to an indoor location. They will continue to work with the Alberta Model Engineering Society on a separate initiative. The BGCA is exploring an alternate venue to host their haunted house, as they do not wish to disrupt programs for children and youth at either of their current locations. It is their intention to host their Halloween event over a 10-day period, raising greater fundraising dollars that will go directly into BGCA operations.

The Boys & Girls Club of Red Deer (BGCRD) uses their annual Halloween event as a major fundraiser each year, raising $80,000 in 2011 alone. The BGCRD organizers have been working with BGCA staff to support them in holding a larger Halloween event in Airdrie. BGCRD organizers have offered the use this year of their props that they are not using to help elevate the ‘scary’ experience and help draw participants to take in the BGCA Halloween event.

The BGCA is requesting the use of the old RCMP building from October 8 to November 4 to host their Halloween Haunted House event. The event would run from October 18

th to

October 31st, operating between the hours of 6pm to 9pm on weekdays and 1pm to 10pm

on weekends. The event will be targeted at older children and youth for evening performances, with a downscaled and less-scary attraction offered during afternoon hours on the weekends for younger children and families. Outside entertainment will take place on the weekends and Halloween night, weather permitting.

Air 106.1 has come on board as the title sponsor with all proceeds to go to the BGCA. The event will be promoted as the Air 106.1 Haunted Attraction produced by the Boys and Girls Club of Airdrie. A Memorandum of Understanding is currently being draw up to clearly detail the partnership and in-kind support the radio will be providing. Air 106.1 will promote this event on the radio, Discover Airdrie website, and on-site location. A member of the radio station sits on the organizational committee to support the event. The in-kind donation to BGCA is approximately $8,000.00.

The following additional community support has been confirmed:

A local production company that currently supports BGCA programs is also providing support to the event in sound, effects, and computer programs that will help enhance the attraction.

A U of C student in his last year in theater will be providing volunteers with acting lessons.

A local dance instructor and set designer will support BGCA staff and volunteers to create costumes, make-up techniques, and dance choreography.

The BGCA meets the requirements for a not-for-profit group leasing public lands from the City. They are currently a member in good standing with the Alberta Societies Act, have submitted current financial statements, continue to care for the leased lands, and they abide by the Public Use Policy with registration open to all residents. The BGCA continues to make good use of the leased lands and contributes to the sense of community for Airdrie and area residents.

Corporate Properties has completed a value assessment on the building, and is in the process of finding a long-term tenant for the space. This must be done through an RFP process, which has begun, but can take upwards of eight weeks. The BGCA will vacate the space by the time this is complete.

The City of Airdrie is required to pay the operating costs of this building while it is vacant, therefore there should be a minimal increase in costs if it is occupied by the BGCA for a month. Staff are proposing that the City continue to pay operating costs, while otherwise entering into a standard lease agreement that the City has with not-for-profit groups.

A license will be drawn up between the City and Airdrie Boys and Girls Club for the use of the property during this event. The Airdrie Boys and Girls Club will have to ensure event insurance and accept liability for the event. The second exit to Edmonton Trail will be blocked to prevent access/egress from this exit as a matter of public safety. In addition, that access to the building by potential purchasers/lessors must be accommodated for during the tenure of the temporary lease. Finally, a decision from Council must be made as regards whether a fee is charged for the use of the property during the event the alternatives are also given below.

Alternatives/Implications:

As per the request coming forward tonight, Council may want to consider the following options:

Use Option #1:

The City of Airdrie agrees to lease the former RCMP space to the Boys & Girls Club of Airdrie

Implications:

The BGCA would be able to host their annual Halloween event this year without disrupting their regular business

The dedicated space would allow for a longer event, providing more fundraising opportunities

The perception of the BGCA having three City of Airdrie lease spaces may be perceived negatively by other not-for-profit groups.

Use Option #2:

The City of Airdrie declines to lease the space to the Boys & Girls Club of Airdrie

Implications:

The BGCA would have to use their east-side location for their Halloween event. This would disrupt drop-in and weekend programs

The scope of the event would have to be reduced.

Fee Option #1:

A fee is not charged for the use of the property.

Implications:

The building would remain a cost to the City until it is leased, or an alternative use is decided upon, this would mean that the Airdrie Boys and Girls Club would be able to receive all the money raised by the event.

Staff feels the extra costs incurred by the occupancy of the BGCA to be negligible for the period of the event, and the benefits the event would have to the group, and in support of community initiatives.

Fee Option #2:

A fee is charged for the use of the property which would cover the cost of the extra utilities used by the event.

Implications:

as per the Standard Lease Document the City of Airdrie uses with other leased locations it would ensure that leasing the space to the Airdrie Boys and Girls Club is not at a cost to the tax payers of Airdrie.


N/A

Recommendation: That Council supports Use Option #1; the City of Airdrie agrees to lease the former RCMP building to the Boys & Girls Club of Airdrie from October 8 to November 4, 2012.

That Council supports Fee Option #1, a fee is not charged for the use of the property

RE: Haunted House letter of support

The Boys and Girls Club of Red Deer has been operating a Haunted Attraction for the

past 21 years. This event has grown from generating $6,000 / 400 visitors to its present level of

$80,000+/7,000 visitors annually. The event is now a designated Alberta Tourism site in red

deer during the month of October. This has now become the primary fundraising event in

support of the Boys and Girls Club of Red Deer and District. Our event was also recently

honored as the #1 charity driven attraction by the International Association of Haunted

Attractions at the recent Transworld convention in St. Louis, Missouri. This event represents a

unique collaboration involving numerous community and business supporters, sponsors and an

incredible group of more than 120 volunteers.

We have recently been meeting with the Airdrie Club with respect to mentoring or assisting

them in the further development of their haunted house event. We are committed to that

objective, because we feel this is a unique event that has so many benefits to the Boys and Girls

Club. It’s a great high profile community event with tremendous exposure, provides a

tremendous way to utilize a variety of different volunteer skill sets, very attractive to business

supporters (cash and in-kind particularly), and it is an event that can get the youth membership

involved to a great degree. Although our two events are at different stages of their growth and

development our experiences can certainly help Airdrie as they seek to expand their event.

Our event is called the Zed Haunted House (zedhauntedhouse.com) Please feel free to visit our

website and please do not hesitate to contact us for more information.

AGENDA REPORT

Meeting Date (M/D/Y): 9/4/2012 Subject: Bylaw No. B-12/2012

Boards Routed Through: Date: City Council 9/4/2012 City Council 9/17/2012

Description:

Staff is presenting a proposed Land Use amendment for the parcel at 145 East Lake Boulevard NE from Industrial Business Park Three District (IB-3) to Industrial Business Park Two District (IB-2).

Background:

Proposal

An application has been received from 725991 Alberta Ltd. to amend a parcel of land 0.809 hectares (2.0 acres) in size. The subject parcel is located at 145 East Lake Boulevard NE and is currently zoned IB-3. The proposed amendment would modify the subject parcel to IB-2, thus allowing the applicant with more of a variety in discretionary uses, which the current IB-3 zoning would not otherwise permit.

Application Summary

Applicant

725991 Alberta Ltd.

Owner

725991 Alberta Ltd.

Legal Description

Plan 9911930; Block 8; Lot 5

Location

145 East Lake Boulevard NE, in NE Airdrie, in the East Lake Industrial complex.

Planning Designation Summary

Airdrie City Plan

The subject area is shown as Industrial on the Land Use Concept map in the Airdrie City Plan. The proposed amendment complies with the vision and intent of the Airdrie City Plan’s Land Use Concept and its Industrial policies.

Area Structure Plan None.

Land Use Bylaw District

Industrial Business Park Three District (IB-3).

Existing Uses Automotive Repair / Servicing

Vicinity &Site Maps

Stakeholder Review

Bylaw No. B-12/2012 was circulated to City Departments, utility companies, and Provincial agencies. No outstanding issues were raised for the proposed land use amendment.

Planning Considerations

The applicant currently owns and operates an automobile repair shop on the premises, which is zoned IB-3. Earlier this year, the applicant was granted a Development Permit approval for a warehouse building to be constructed in the rear portion of the subject site, behind the Smart Automotive building. A potential client was interested in locating their personal fitness business in the new building. However, the applicant was informed by the City that a fitness centre was not a discretionary use under the IB-3 designation. The personal fitness business decided to move to another location due to timing issues. However the applicant still wishes to pursue a land use amendment to IB-2 with the intention of increasing his ability to attract more service-oriented type businesses on the premises. In determining the validity of the proposed land use amendment, Planning considered the context of the site – in particular, the uses surrounding the site. The subject parcel is currently surrounded by either service-oriented or light industrial businesses. There are numerous commercial and service businesses north of the subject parcel. A light industrial welding shop exists south of the site, and the former Cam Clark Ford car lot is located to the west. These surrounding uses would be considered as compatible with the proposed IB-2 re-designation and are not likely to hinder or impact the site in any way. Furthermore, Planning would ensure that any subsequent proposed business venture located at this site would conform to the intent and purpose of the IB-2 designation. The Airdrie City Plan is the only statutory planning document that addresses the East Lake Industrial area. The proposed land use change will not affect the intent of the City Plan since the subject area is already designated as “Industrial.”


This report was presented to the Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) on August 16, 2012. There were two concerns raised, the first being if the land use amendment would result in other nearby IB-3 businesses wanting to change their zoning to IB-2 as well. Planning addressed this concern by stating that all proposed amendments would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The second concern was whether traffic would be significantly increased. Planning feels that there would not be any significant increase in traffic resulting from the proposed land use amendment, and that this kind of concern would be evaluated during the Development Permit stage when the type of business would be known. MPC recommended that Council should adopt Bylaw No. B-12/2012 by a vote of 5 in favour and 2 opposed.


Newspaper notification ads of the proposed land use amendment will be advertised in the City View for two consecutive weeks prior to the Public Hearing, which is scheduled for September 17, 2012. Onsite signage of the proposed amendment is also required.


Council has three alternatives with respect to this Bylaw:

Alternative One: That Council gives First Reading to Bylaw No. B-12/2012 with or without revision or recommendations.

Alternative Two: That Council tables Bylaw No. B-12/2012 if more information is required.

Alternative Three: That Council defeats Bylaw B-12/2012 if Council does not agree with the proposal.

Recommendation: That City Council gives First Reading to Bylaw No. B-12/2012 as presented.

Meeting Date (M/D/Y): 9/4/2012 Subject: Bylaw No. B-17/2012 Amendments to Building

Inspections Permit Fees Bylaw No. B-30/2008

Boards Routed Through: Date: CPT 9/4/2012

Description:

Council is being asked to give three readings to bylaw No. B-17/2012 to amend Building Inspections Permit Fees Bylaw No. B-30/2008.

Background:

As part of the Building Inspections Department 2013 Business Plan and Administrations intent to be competitive with fees of other communities, the Department has recently completed an annual review of permit fees, inspection fees, and current processes. The review of the current fees included a review of municipalities’ fees (Airdrie, Calgary, Grande Prairie, St. Albert, Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, Red Deer and Rocky View County. As part of this review, staff have determined that several fees should be amended to reflect costs and remain comparable with the reviewed municipalities. Staff is providing Council a summary of the proposed changes for their review. Note: 2011 was the last time Council approved a fee increase of this type. Fees have been included in the proposed 2013 budget. Justification for additional inspection fee increase is due to re-inspection’s of deficiencies, and multiple re-inspections which indicates site supervisors are calling inspections on incomplete buildings, causing an increase in the departments work load. Reviewing the house permit fees/discipline a wide range of fees exists between municipalities. In the total dwelling permit fees section, this is the combined permit fees for all disciplines for a single family home based on the criteria noted. Comparison of commercial permit fees (Plumbing, Gas, HVAC & Electrical) are set based on construction value while other municipalities fees are on # of fixtures or BTU

ratings. Different methods of calculation fees varies between municipalities. Larger commercial projects increase inspection department costs due to the number of inspections and the time required to review. Safety Inspection ( Grow Ops and Derelict Buildings ) Fee of $4000 will offset the department costs of administration, inspections, monitoring and coordination with the RCMP, AHS and the Fire Department. For a complete breakdown of fees changes please see attached document “Changes to Building Inspections Permit Fees Bylaw.” Items 1 – 7 below are some of the more major fee changes. An example of the total effect of the proposed fee increase based on a new similar square foot house in Airdrie will increase from $1680 to $1750. A similar house in Calgary and Rocky View would be $2302 and $1735 sequentially.

1. Changes to schedule “D”, (Houses, Duplex and Townhouses) both HVAC and Gas permit fees are being adjusted as the square footage increases.

2. Building Permits - Garages, Wood Fireplaces, Wood Stoves, Retaining

Walls, Deck fees changes from $7.00 per thousand construction value to $8.00.

3. Building Permits – Commercial, Industrial, Institutional and Multifamily

(apartments) fee change from $7.80 per thousand construction value to $8.00.

4. Minimum fees on any inspection or permit have increased from $60 to $80. 5. Section 6 – Inspection Fees – An increase of $50 from $250 to $300 for the

first re-inspection/deficiencies, from $450 to $500 for a 2nd

re-inspection, and 3

rd re-inspection will now be $700.00, this is also for no address posted,

officer unable to enter, project not ready. Increase of $50.00 from $250 to $300 for failure to recall a verification of compliance. (Calgary charges $263.00 per offence.)

6. Safety Inspection Fee – for buildings closed due to Unsafe Conditions. Flat

fee charge of $4000 covers initial inspection, attended day or night, coordination with other departments (City of Airdrie, Alberta Health Services, RCMP, Fortis, ACTO gas and other) writing order, legal costs, administration, safety equipment, fencing as needed and operating costs. Fee charged is in addition to the basic fees in Schedule “A”.

7. Section 2 – Electrical – Solar Installations – Under 10 Kilowatts – Residential

Only, $150 flat fee.


On July 26th 2012, Corporate Planning Team recommended that Council endorse the bylaw

as presented.


1. Council accepts the proposed permit fee changes. Changes will be implemented

January 1, 2013. Estimated $144,507.00 increase in fees.

2. Council directs staff to make further changes to Permit Fees Bylaw No. B-30/2008.

3. Council does not accept the proposed fee changes.


Copy of the changes will be forwarded to all home builders working within the City of Airdrie for their reference. Building Inspections will work with Corporate Communications to develop a communications plan for sharing information regarding fees and bylaw changes with all target audiences.

Recommendation: That City Council gives three readings to Bylaw No. B-17/2012, being a bylaw to amend Bylaw No. B-30/2008, Schedule “A” and “D,” effective January 1, 2013.

AGENDA REPORT

Meeting Date (M/D/Y): September 4, 2012 Subject: Second Quarter Budget Update

Boards Routed Through: Date: Corporate Planning Team Finance Committee

July 26, 2012 August 13, 2012

Description:

To present the 2012 Second Quarter Budget Update for information.

Background:

Operating Budget

The City of Airdrie 2012 operating budget totals over $78MM. Revenue and expense projections based on second quarter activity produced a deficit of $290,795.

The primary reason for the projected deficit is the cumulative impact of three years’ worth of budgeting versus actual costs of the City of Airdrie’s first union contract with the firefighters. As a necessity of budget and year end accrual entries, estimates and assumptions were made based on the information available at the time. The union contract was settled on February 28, 2012. Salaries for 2010 have been finalized; however, further discussions will occur concerning wage reopeners for 2011 and 2012.

There is a negative variance of $1.5MM related to the union contract. This variance is made up of values over a three-year period as detailed in the chart below. The second quarter results include assumptions for settling the wage reopener. The 2011 and 2012 wage reopener projections are based on current negotiations and market conditions.

Current

scenario

$201,110 $231,307 $1,085,000 $1,517,417

2010 and 2011 variance

At the fiscal year end for 2010, a year end accrual entry was made in the amount of $404,475 based on anticipated settlement amounts. Final settled salaries were greater than the anticipated values. With the actual retro pay for 2010 amounting to $605,585, an additional $201,110 is needed to cover 2010 firefighter costs.

At the 2011 fiscal year end, an accrual entry was prepared based on a defined estimate for a wage reopener plus a contingency value. The wage reopener amounted to $240,505; the conservatism value amounted to $510,000 giving a total year end accrual amount of $750,505.

Additional funds

$750,505 $661,812 $320,000 $231,307

Actual retro pay for 2011 was $661,812. This retro paid union members to 2010 settled salaries level only. With the estimated wage reopener being $320,000, an additional $231,307 is projected as required funding.

2012 variance

Budget figures for 2012 were prepared under conditions known in the fall of 2011 with a CPI factor applied. Wage reopener discussions did not occur until late fall of 2011 and therefore were not included within calculations for 2012 budget.

A known risk was taken in acceptance of the 2012 budget. The budget included a $200,000 reduction in firefighter overtime costs in anticipation of an arbitration ruling. Second quarter projections are indicating substantial shortfalls in funding. This is a result of compounding the effect of settled salaries and benefits over the three-year period. The following table details the major components.

Description Approximate

dollar value

Overtime STAT banked time arbitration ruling results mean a need to add back $200,000 to the $200,000 overtime budget. As well, overtime is expected to exceed $400,000 due to sick time, other vacancies and the application of new rates.

$350,000

Pay bands Finalized pay bands moved a number of firefighters to class one; lieutenants and captains pay band movement increases.

$484,000

Realignment of

administrative

salaries

Finalization of firefighter pay bands resulted in realignment of fire administration pay bands.

$50,000

Third Fire Hall Effective January 2012, City of Airdrie went from two to three fire halls. Introduction of a third fire hall requires four additional lieutenants. Cost associated with moving four fire fighters to lieutenants.

$41,000

Benefit Costs At the onset of voting in a union, firefighters gave up the right to contribute to the City of Airdrie supplementary pension plan. Budgets were prepared on the basis that this benefit would not be required. This is an expensive benefit amounting to three percent of salaries. The settled contract included an RRSP benefit equivalent to three percent of salaries. As well, benefit costs increase as salaries increase.

$168,000

A number of positive variances work towards decreasing the effect of the additional dollars needed to finalize union costs. Building Inspections revenue is the most significant positive variance estimating that revenue will exceed budget by almost $600,000.

Building permit and inspection fee activity has been high over the first half of the year. Duplex, townhouses and multifamily applications have far exceeded budget expectations. One hundred and forty-one multifamily units have been applied for compared to fifty budgeted. Eighty-four percent of budgeted duplex applications have been applied for to the end of June. Institutional applications for schools are a factor contributing to the positive variance. To date, one school has applied for permits and two additional schools are expected to apply prior to year end. A possibility of another school exists as well.

A negative variance exists with regards to the new Municipal Enforcement building. It was anticipated that this building would be occupied in January 2012. A negative variance of $111,000 is projected with regards to lease revenue for the main floor of this building and related to the revised move in date for RCMP of August 2012. As well, second floor lease revenue is not anticipated until early 2013 and has resulted in a negative variance of $180,000.

Genesis Place activity continues to be strong with second quarter projections indicating a $74,000 positive variance. Youth swim lessons have been in high demand with most sessions filled to capacity. The water slide has reopened and is having a positive impact on drop-in admissions. Annual passes continue to be strong with a positive variance of $80,000 projected. The recreationa center is seeing an increase in demand for rental spaces. Despite disrupted services due to a malfunctioning chiller, Arena Operations is expecting to meet budgeted revenue.

Utility revenues for water and sewer are projected to be on target for year end. Waste and Recycling revenue projections decreased $65,000 due to a drop in the recycling depot revenue received from Rocky View County as a result of the recent annexation and fluctuating market prices for commodities. Adjustments have been made to transfers to reserves in these areas in order to maintain a contribution to the City of Airdrie operations.

Given the projected deficit position, budget managers were asked to analyze their spending for the remainder of the year. A number of reductions and cuts have been made on low-impact items that could potentially be deferred to 2013.

Major variances that have affected the projected budget positively include the following:

Capital Budget

The capital budget project summary as of June 30, 2012, is also attached for your information. The total capital budget for 2012 is $60.3MM and includes carry forward projects from 2011. The original 2012 budget was approved at $24.1MM and carry forwards amounted to $36.2MM. Costs to date have been minimal and total $8.3MM.

The Municipal Policing building is nearing completion and RCMP personnel moved in on August 7, 2012. Genesis Place Phase III construction commenced in April 2012 and is currently 15% complete.

Roadway projects include 24th Street extension, Railway Avenue and the 8

The deficit projection for the second quarter ending June 30, 2012 has improved by about $300,000 compared to the first quarter update. There is potential for further increased revenue due to high building permit activity. Third quarter results will allow for more accurate projections to year end. Administration will make recommendations in which spending reductions could still occur, or a contribution from the contingency fund or reserves could be used to offset any remaining deficit at the end of the third quarter.


On July 26, 2012, the Second Quarter Budget Update was presented to the Corporate Planning Team. Further discussions were held at the August 9, 2012 Corporate Planning Team Meeting. On August 13, 2012, the Second Quarter Budget Update was presented to the Finance Advisory Committee and was accepted for information.

Recommendation:

That Council receives the Second Quarter Budget Update for information.

City Manager

Quarterly UpdateThe City Manager meets regularly with his direct reports and Team Leaders. Monthly Team Leaders' meetings provide a forum for discussion including such topics as: training; customer service initiatives; the recruitment process; the strategic planning process; benchmarking for business plans; and AirdrieONE implementation. Regular topics include growth and hot topics.

The City Manager is an active member of the Mid-Sized City Manager’s group as well as meetings of city managers at a regional level. The Mid-Sized City Manager's group did not meet in the second quarter. The AUMA Mayor's Caucus was attended.

At the local level, the annexation agreement between the City of Airdrie and Rocky View County was approved in the second quarter and was made retroactive to December 31, 2011. Transition of the annexed lands is currently underway.

CPT has dealt with a number of corporate-wide issues such as: the amended Waterworks, Community Standards and Emergency Management Bylaws; establishment of corporate priorities; the Bert Church Theatre expansion and design; AirdrieONE implementation; organizational effectiveness; the Waste and Recycling Implementation Strategy; the Development Process Review; an Arts, Culture and Heritage Strategy; the new Bert Church Theatre agreement; expansion of Regional ICE service; and the Fire Department Staffing and Deployment Model.

2012 Business Plan Goals StatusStrengthen the Corporate Culture:Improve communication and leadership within the organization to ensure a strong, engaged workforce

- Great Big Meeting held with staff in Q1. - Monthly blogs with staff on MyNet - Monthly fireside chats with staff

All Employees Take Ownership for Serving the Customer:Provide focused customer service, meeting the customer’s needs in the most effective ways possible

Teams held discussions on customer service initiatives. Building Inspections and Planning are conducting a One-Stop Shop pilot program.

Ensure a Successful Annexation and Subsequent Transition of Annexed LandsAnnexation presents an opportunity to be pioneers and architects for the community and for investment. Assess the impacts of annexation on the organization and lay out a plan for implementation.

The annexation received approval in April, 2012 and was backdated to January 1, 2012. Transition of annexed lands is ongoing. The Planning Department is updating the City Plan to reflect the new land base. A strategy for the annexation lands will be developed following completion of the Transportation Master Plan and the Master Drainage Plan. This interdepartmental strategy will focus on long-term sustainability and enhancement of non-residential development opportunities.

Ensure that Business Units are Disciplined in Moving Cohesively Toward Council's Vision

Create strategic alignment within the organizationRe-focus energy on core services and set realistic expectations to manage workloads and achieve desired outcomes

A more concentrated focus was placed on goals being in alignment with Council's strategic and CPT's corporate priorities during the development of Business Plans. Changes were made to the capital budget submission process to assess realistic expectations in completing projects.

Maximize the useful life of the City's assets in order to protect the community's investment:Reinforcing the view that the City s assets are an investment, continue the development of an asset management strategy that will result in a sustainable approach to maintaining them.

Progress has been slow on this initiative considering the limited amount of human resource assigned to this goal. During Q2, an initial meeting was held with stakeholders within the organization. The primary stakeholders met with the CAO of Hinton for a presentation and Q&A session of the successes they experienced launching their Asset Project. As well, information was gathered regarding British Columbia’s asset management strategy.

Human Resources

Quarterly UpdateThis quarter saw the close to the HRIS project phase one. This took much time and effort to get to a place to launch the software. As well, the close of the arbitration with fire fighters happened and a decision was made. This started a process of a judicial review. In addition, the department continues to have many individuals and groups asking HR to coach them through relationship building or dealing with tough conversations at work. This has become a significant part of our service to the organization. While necessary as part of the business, it has definitely stretched our resources and prevented us from moving some project forward as quickly as we would have liked.

2012 Business Plan Goals Status

S2/C11: Reduce time and administration in HR processesRolled out recruitment HRIS to reduce the amount of applicant that a team leader needs to review. Looking at phase two - orange sheet in Q3.

In year two of plan. Have designed and planned both EQ and Perform workshops for fall. Added Respect in workplace workshops for all staff.

C1: Create a plan to provide additional tools for TL to support, coach and mentor employees

Part of training plan.

C3/C4: Build stronger partnerships with internal customers

HR has been out in the field more doing interviews and spending time with staff and Team Leaders. We have also continued to have coaching conversations with people at all levels in the organization.

C12: Review Internal Pay Equity process This is scheduled for the last half of year. Research has started to be collected.

A report was presented to CPT that presented some observations and recommendations for the organization's long-term effectiveness from the analysts' perspective. The organization has seen increased WCB claims activity, with longer-term modified work situations raising a number of issues. WCB and Safety established the use of an Occupational Injury Services clinic to expedite treatment and return to work for employees injured at work. Enhanced Safety training with summer Parks crews seems to be paying dividends, and the unit is starting to see a significant shift in creating a culture of commitment around safety, rather than one of enforced compliance. The annual strategic planning process unfolded with team leaders, Council, CPT and departmental business planning, as well as the return of the Citizen Satisfaction Survey.


C9: Establish a process for determining priorities for Business Analysts

As in-progress projects wrap up, analysts will now be assigned to a more focussed and manageable number of projects or process reviews, with the priority established by the Project Management Office.

C3:Determine centralized or decentralized approach for customer phone enquiries

At a recent meeting with team leaders, the desire is for a hybrid approach of centralization, with some publication of key department direct lines.

Continue to build depth and enhance field presence for Safety

The Safety Coordinator is in the field regularly, particularly with Parks summer crews, and utilizing a recognition mechanism when seeing safe work practices. The Safety Committee is taking a strong role throughout the organization, and internal auditors are being certified or re-certified to enhance the complement.

S2: Reduce lost-time claims for the organizationThe return-to-work program has been very successful in getting injured employees back to work; however, there have been a couple of significant long-term claims this year.

S2/C12: Review at least one major process to determine how/if service delivery can be improved

This goal will be scheduled in the last half of the year.

C8: Improve ownership, comprehension and alignment in the organization

The accountability agreement format has been revisited and is being piloted. Fewer, more focussed corporate priorities were drafted for 2013. Business plan goals that associate with a specific strategic or corporate priority are noted as such.

C9: Communicate progress of Strategic and Corporate Priorities

Corporate Communications

Quarterly UpdateIn the second quarter the Communications Department produced ten news releases, twelve advisories and numerous web information boxes and web banners. The department has also produced brochures and booklets for the Dog Amnesty Program, the Home and Lifestyle Show Corporate Booth and Bert Church Theatre. Other activities included producing a parade float banner for the Mayor and Aldermen and supporting the Canada Day parade through media relations.


C2: To educate the Corporation on the services provided by Communications

Have worked with several business units to produce communications plans to support their goals, including Bert Church Theatre, Municipal Enforcement, Fire Department and Parks and Public Works. Working through this process creates a better understanding within the corporation of Corporate Communications services.

C3: To create templates for advertisements, brochures and newsletters in order that departments can be more self sufficient for routine communications

Have created several new brochure designs for Bert Church Theatre and the Dog Amnesty Program that can be easily updated.

To establish a philosophy regarding centralized vs. decentralized communications tactical work

The philosophy that the Communications department is working within is as internal consultants and advisors to City business units to help them understand and use communications tactics to support business plans. A combination of centralized and decentralized tactics are used. For example, media relations is a function managed by communications and twitter is something that all business units will eventually use as they become more familiar with the medium.

Financial Services

Quarterly UpdateThe preparation of externally required financial reports is a large focus for Financial Services over the first two quarters of the year. Audited financial statements are prepared for the City as well as Airdrie Mainstreet Square (AMSQ), Airdrie Public Library (APL) and Airdrie Housing Limited (AHL). External audits are conducted for all companies excluding Airdrie Main Street Square. The City's financial statements are incorporated into the Annual Report. The Annual Report was approved by Council in May, submitted as required to Municipal Affairs, published and posted to the website. Other external reporting requirements include the Statement of Funding Expenditures for Alberta Infrastructure and MSI grants and Statistics Canada reports. The process for 2013 budgeting has begun. Business plans and staffing requests have been reviewed by the Corporate Planning Team. Capital requests for 2013 have also been reviewed. Funding models will be applied to the project in the third quarter. Financial Services is dealing with a number of vacancies. Recruitment is currently under way for the Team Leader role and the Senior Accountant role.


S3: Improve customer service through the development and implementation of e-government solutions.

Virtual City Hall (VCH) project has been delayed to 2013 due to a lack of readiness on Diamond Municipal Solutions part. Financial Services will be part of the team charged with the implementation of City View Municipal Enforcement (September start date). City View portal (scheduled for early 2013) and VCH will work to providing citizens with electronic business options.

C11: Improve efficiencies in preparing yearend financial results for City of Airdrie and three subsidiaries.

Complete. With APL and AHL now incorporated into the budget software, efficiencies were gained within the consolidation process during the preparation of the annual financial statements.

S1: Provide better service costing within budget

Avanti time sheet task module has been implemented. Departments now have the capability to assign hours worked to tasked thus allowing for the gathering of data. This data will help with developing models for costing services.

C7: Improve ten year capital needs projections.

Some progress on this goal is planned for the third quarter during the preparation of the 2013 ten year plan. Pending available resources, TCA data will be used to test the completeness of the ten year capital plan.

Assessment & Taxation

Quarterly UpdateAssessment notices were mailed January 30, 2012 for both Airdrie and Cochrane. There were a significant number of inquiries for Cochrane properties this year, however there were fewer complaints filed in comparison to previous years. The majority of the complaints were filed by tax agents on the final day of the sixty day review period and the assessors were not contacted prior to filing. For Airdrie there was only one residential complaint filed and heard by the Local Assessment Review Board. Twenty non-residential complaints were filed of which eleven were withdrawn, one was given a reduction prior to going to a hearing, four have been heard and a decision is outstanding on the remaining four. The remaining complaints are scheduled for hearings in August. Two assessors received their accreditation with the Alberta Assessor's Association at the conference held in April in Calgary. One of the major tasks for both the Assessment & Taxation teams was successfully inputting the required information for the annexation parcels within a very short time frame and the annexation parcels were included in the mailing of the taxation notices at the end of May. Taxation is now collecting over two million dollars per month from the monthly tax payment plan. This is a major stepping stone and the taxation area is to be commended for promoting this program and managing it so well. The main focus of the Taxation area for the past couple of months has been the preparation, mailing and dealing with customers as a result of the taxation notices being mailed.

2012 Business Plan Goals StatusC2 & S2: Data conversion of non-residential property from excel spreadsheets to the Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) system

Information has been input into the CAMA system; however, the tables need to be updated and testing is still outstanding.

C5: Prepare assessment values and send taxation notices to all annexation parcels

Assessment values were prepared by Rocky View County and the taxation notices were prepared and sent to all annexation parcels by the Airdrie Taxation Department.

Quarterly UpdateThe primary focus of the unit during the second quarter of 2012 was hosting the volunteer social, preparation for Assessment Review Board hearings, and data collection for the census. The annual Volunteer Appreciation Banquet was well attended and both food and entertainment were very well received.

The municipal census concluded on June 26, 2012. Results of the census showed a population of 45,711 and a dwelling count of 17,174. This reflects a population growth of 5.92% over 2011. Ancillary results of the census will be available in the fall of 2012. The overall online response rate was 54%.

The Assessment Review Board (ARB) received a total of 22 complaints against annual assessments. Only two residential complaints were received and one was heard by the Local Assessment Review Board in June 2012. The second complaint was filed late and will be heard before a one member board in August 2012. There were 20 non-residential complaints and seven of those are scheduled to be heard by the Composite Assessment Review Board in July and August 2012. With regard to agreement review requests, in the second quarter staff has reviewed or assisted with drafting 11 agreements.

Building Inspections

Quarterly UpdateAt the end of the Q2, the building inspections department has received 380 single family house applications, 47% of the budgeted estimate of 813. On average house construction values are $5,400 higher than 2011. Although single family dwelling applications are lower than anticipated, duplex, townhouse and multifamily applications have far exceeded expectations. Permits for 141 multifamily units have been applied for with estimated applications of 60 to 100 units by Copperstone before the end of Q4. Estimating an additional $8MM in construction value. Ninety-four townhouse permits have been issued, with strong indications of over 100 units to be applied for before year end. Estimating an additional $14MM in construction value. We are expecting a net increase in residential permit revenue of $44,520. Increasing construction values are affecting permit value revenue. Commercial construction values exceed last year by $3.3MM, however, these values are lower than estimated for 2012. Commercial values could be down $14MM by year end, reducing our commercial budget revenue of $580,000 by $65,000. We are expecting two more large institutional school applications, Chinook Winds (Grades 9 to 12) and Sagewood (Grades 6 to 8) for the second half of 2012. Estimating $45MM in construction value, affecting revenue by an additional $350,000. Site investigation is continuing on the Francophone school in Reunion. 62% of budgeted permit revenue has been received at Q2. This year's trend indicates budgeted permit applications will be surpassed.

2012 Business Plan Goals StatusDevelop procedures to perform inspections on Grow Operations and Derelict buildings

In progress. Expected completion in Q3.

Develop a process for ONE STOP permitting for accessory permits

Pilot has been run and information was provided to CPT.

Develop a policy for parking requirements for electrical cars. These electric vehicles will require parking stalls equipped with electrical charging stations. Currently Airdrie has no standards around this need.

Due to decreased market pressure, this policy is not required at this time.

S3: On-line contractor access to inspection reports, and ability to apply for permits through a portal using software

Software process changes, these changes in development will ensure a more seamless integration once brought online.

S5: Streamline the permit process between departments ( Building, Planning, Engineering)

Complete Land Use Bylaw (LUB) RewriteTo serve as implementing mechanism to AirdrieONE and the new city plan. Supports the streamlining initiatives by providing more clarity.

The LUB review process is well underway. The LUB Advisory Committee was established and the orientation meeting was held in June of this year. The Administrative section of the new LUB has been drafted and is being reviewed internally; it will then be distributed to the advisory committee and project stakeholders for feedback and comments. The review process is on track with the established TOR and timelines.

S9/C6: Develop integrated planning strategy for the annexation lands. Develop high-level Concept Plan/CASP requirements.

The Integrated Planning Strategy will follow from the revised City Plan; the Master Drainage Plan and the Transportation Master Plan. Due to the timing of the master plans, the Strategy may not be completed until Q4 2012 or Q1 2013. The department is proposing that the city develop large-scale servicing concept plans for the newly annexed areas. It is proposed that these plans replace the statutory CASPs. The proposed scope of this initiative will be outlined in the City Plan Issues report (to CPT in September).

S5: Complete strategy for clarifying and streamlining the development process & ASP requirements

The Development Process Review was completed and presented to CPT. The department is moving forward on implementation. Requirements for ASPs are being included within the new City Plan.

Building Operations

Quarterly UpdateTwo quarters of being fully staffed operationally has provided staff with a much better work environment and stress levels have noticeably declined. The addition of in-house HVAC support has enabled the department to make considerable strides in the preventive and predictive maintenance program for city facilities. Although the department has a vacant position for a Building Operator, it is felt that this position can be deferred until the latter part of the year or possibly until 2013, saving $68,200 in personnel costs. The department has noticed a decline in the need for courier costs and the amount of graffiti on civic facilities that are passed along as potential savings by year end. Some assumptions around the completion of 23 East Lake Hill renovations were made last year during the budget process. With the delays, the flooring project that was anticipated for 15 East Lake Hill will likely need to be deferred until 2013, after Parks and Public Works departments are relocated to 23 East Lake Hill. The combined potential savings between courier, graffiti removal and flooring project costs amounts to about $35,500.


S2: Implement a strategy to reduce the frequency of “less than full” waste bin dumps to save costs

One bin has been removed and pick up schedules have been changed. Some pickups have been extended to every two weeks with cardboard collection once per month. Assumed during budget preparations that RCMP would be relocated early in the new year and the Main Street fire hall would possibly be vacant, have impacted the number of bins in service. Usage monitoring is ongoing and will be adjusted accordingly.

S2:Improve on building efficiencies to decrease operating costs

City Hall lighting retrofit to be completed during Q3 with lower wattage lamps. Energy usage to be monitored with utility department once completed.

Transit

Quarterly UpdateTransit ridership for both the regional ICE and local services continued to show steady usage in Q2 with both experiencing record levels in May 2012. Transit ridership on local transit was approximately 49% higher in Q2 2012 over the same Q2 period in 2011. A similar story exists for regional ICE service. Ridership was approximately 104% greater in Q2 2012 compared to Q2 2011. It should be noted that the growth in ridership occurred without an increase in operational costs. Therefore, this is a better return on investment for the community as utilization increased without the requirement for additional service hours. One significant change in Q2 2012 was the adoption of a fare strategy for the regional ICE service to achieve cost-recovery on the operational costs of the service. This resulted in an increase in fares for the regional ICE service effective April 2012. Preliminary analysis shows the service has operated at cost-recovery since April 2012. Financially, Transit is projecting to be approximately ($90,000) under budget despite higher than anticipated fuel rates. This projection is in part based on higher than projected revenues from user fees on the regional ICE service ($139,000). Small savings are projected from materials, good, supplies and utilities ($1,188). Through Q2 Contracted & General Services is anticipated to be $66,479 due to higher than anticipated fuel rates.


S2/C3:Improve customer services (shelters, ticket/pass vendors)

Bus shelter agreement awarded to Creative Outdoor Advertising following a public tender process. First shelters anticipated to be installed in Q3. New vendor (Shoppers on 8th Street) for fare products started sales in April 2012.

Transit planning for future growth – bus storage, maintenance facility, route planning, and fleet requirements

Fourth ICE trip approved by Council in Q2 with service beginning in September 2012. Initiated discussions for fare integration with Calgary Transit with the assistance of the CRP in Q2.

Grow transit ridership with innovative community partnerships

Worked collaboratively with the community to re-launch the Community Route in Q2 to reflect needs of the community. Made a minor route adjustment to include a local transit stop at the Airdrie Food Bank in East Lake Industrial. Stop has been well utilized and is supported by the Airdrie Food Bank.

Social Planning

Quarterly UpdateMayor for a Day Challenge, FCSS Funding Agreements, Volunteer of the Year, Annual Social Report and other activities have kept Social Planning staff busy during the first two quarters of 2012. The Mayor for the Day Challenge received 27 applications, with two individuals submitting winning ideas and having an opportunity to be the Mayor for a Day. Winning ideas included a fundraising dance event for Phase III of Genesis Place and an idea for enhanced transit services within the community to increase ridership of youth. The 2012 Volunteer of the Year award recipients included: David Lindsay - 2012 Leader of Tomorrow Award; Laurence and Linda Ray, Faith Build Organization - 2012 Ambassador Award; Rob Van Biezen - 2012 Soul of Airdrie Award; and Airdrie Food Bank - 2012 Volunteer Advocate Award.


Local youth will evaluate their own perceptions of Airdrie and develop new ideas on improvements they would like to see

Twenty seven applications were submitted as part of the Mayor for a Day Challenge, with two winners being selected. One winner has had her opportunity to be Mayor, with the second occurring in the fall. Steps are being taken to assist both winners with implementing their ideas.

Partnering with one or two of the local schools will allow for developing an educational program that is tied to curriculum and student needs

It is felt that a form of experiential learning would be a good fit for this program and Q3 is targeted for discussions with teachers and administration staff at the middle schools.

Elicit useful feedback to the Community Developer for Youth on youth concerns

Ongoing - but has been supported in two ways during Q1 + 2: The Mayor for a Day Challenge illustrated some of the concerns of youth within Airdrie. A frequent concern/issue of youth in Airdrie is that there ‘is not enough to do.’ The Hyjinx Youth Council worked with the Boys & Girls Club of Airdrie to plan a new type of dance event for youth. The event was quite successful, and the BGCA will continue to utilize Hyjinx’s feedback for future events.

A small selection of youth will gain a greater understanding of the functions of municipal government

All 27 of the Mayor for a Day applicants received personalized responses from staff on their ideas. This included what processes their ideas would have to go through, thoughts on the feasibility of the ideas, and what further steps would be required to bring them to reality. In the fall the Mayor will host a dinner with all the applicants to further discuss their ideas.

Airdrie FCSS will have consistent social indicators capable of cross-comparison with neighboring municipalities

Airdrie FCSS has social indicators in place. Conversations with neighboring municipalities are underway to ascertain whether they will be utilizing comparable indicators.

Genesis Place

Quarterly Update

As Q2 comes to a close, Genesis Place continues to see growth in pass sales and patron usage numbers.

Within the facility pricing philosophy, Genesis Place continues to see a trend in decreased drop-in day passes and increases in single and family annual pass sales. This pricing strategy supports the philosophy of Genesis Place being a strong family facility offering something for all members to be active or participate in while here. All areas continue to see increased usage throughout the facility. The middle of the second quarter also included the water slide being reopened within the Aquatic area. Although only open for a short period of time, drop-in pass sales have increased since the slide opening was made public. Genesis Place has also seen an increase in room rentals through the first two quarters of operation in 2012. These room rentals are a combination of profit and not-for-profit usage. Genesis Place continues to build strong relationships with community groups and not-for-profit groups. Genesis Place hosted the 2012 Home & Garden Show as well an Art Show during the same time period. The first Cap and Gown Ceremony was held for Bert Church High School graduation class of 2012 with 168 grads and 1,500 parents and visitors in attendance on the Shane Homes Field. As well, George McDougall High was back with their second graduation class to use the facility. This class consisted of 238 Grads and 1,500 parents.

Departmental Breakdown: Aquatics: The Aquatics department offered increased lessons and programs in the first two quarters of 2012 showing a $56,000 increase in revenues for youth swim lessons. Patrons continue to support the Aquatic area during family and public swim times with monthly numbers averaging 36,000 users a month. The Aquatic area is starting to see pressure with user groups (rentals) wanting to increase their programs and limited space available for bookings without taking away programming space or public swim times.

Leisure & Dryland: First two quarters of registration are showing a decrease in preschool programs such as 'fun on the run' or 'hop, skip and jump' (ages 3-5). Kids Connection preschool continues to remain very consistent. Trends indicate a decline in participation in adult leagues, volleyball, badminton and pickle ball.

Weight & Fitness: The weight and fitness department is seeing a small decrease in revenues (registered programs) at the end of the second quarter. This decrease is offset by savings within personnel costs. Trends indicate an increase in overall usage of this area through annual pass, monthly passes, and drop in usage within the fitness area. Operations: This department was broken out of the administration budget in 2012 to improve the effectiveness of budget management. This department is on track with personnel costs for the year. This department is at 67% of budget to date in repairs and maintenance and is committed to stay on budget within this account.

Administration: Administration now includes customer service representatives, administration, management and Team Leaders. Membership sales continue to increase through quarter two of 2012. Trends that are being watched include a decrease in drop-in and monthly pass sales which are being offset by an increase in 10 times pass sales and annual sales. This trend continues to support the Genesis Place pricing philosophy that the annual pass purchase is the “best bang for the dollar”. Employee personnel costs are on budget for this area as well.

Special events held at Genesis Place for 2012 included: Home and Garden Show (12,000 people), Graduation Cap and

Page No: 65

Gown Ceremony for George McDougall High School and Bert Church High School (4,000 people), International Gymnastics Event (3,500 people), Remembrance Day Services (1,900 people), as well as football, tennis, soccer, basketball and volleyball camps.

2012 Business Plan Goals StatusC3: Solicit feedback from pass holders on programs and services offered within the facility

Arena Operations

Quarterly UpdateArena Operations is down to one operational ice surface as second quarter finishes up. The Blue ice at Ron Ebbesen is out for capital repair work involving the header trench. As well, in May of 2012 the chiller at the Ron Ebbesen arena failed. It was determined that the chiller would need to be replaced rather then repaired. Ice user groups were moved to the Plainsmen arena to meet demands for the spring and summer seasons. The chiller is scheduled to be replaced in time for the fall season to start. The arena operations team is on budget for ice rentals even with the unforeseen closure of the Ron Ebbesen Arena. In 2011 the Plainsmen reopening was delayed one month. This delay and loss of revenue was reported in 2011. User groups extended their programs one month which is now being recognized in 2012 as extra revenue.

At the end of the second quarter, the Arena Operations team is currently under budget in personnel costs for operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are on budget at this time. Also, training will occur towards the end of the fourth quarter as per usual in this industry.

Phase III of Genesis Place, which will include two new ice surfaces, has started construction. This project is in the 2012 and 2013 budgets for a potential opening date of July 2013.

2012 Business Plan Goals StatusS2/C11: Reduce operating costs through efficiencies in staffing resources and energy consumption

This project is 25% completed.

S3: Offer users an online ice booking / viewing system that will meet their needs

Community Development

Quarterly UpdateCommunity Development staff continues to provide support and guidance to 17 not-for-profit (NFP) community partners who lease public lands and facilities. In addition to managing the community relationship component of these leases, which includes attending AGM's, annual reviews and other meetings as required, staff has also provided support to 14 other community NFP organizations and/or initiatives. During Q1-2, some of these have included: Creative Airdrie Society SLAM (Supporting Local Area Musicians) 2014 Alberta Summer Games Bid Committee Airdrie Regional Air Show Society Connecting local NFP groups with the Home and Garden Show In Q2 the City was successful with its bid for the 2012 Alberta Summer Games, which will be hosted in Airdrie in 2014. Community Development staff also engaged local arts and culture groups during design planning for community space at the Bert Church Theatre. Local groups are in support of the expansion and rallied together to demonstrate their support at CSAB and Council meetings. Concept plans were subsequently endorsed by Council in Q2.


S12: Provide support to Iron Horse Park in identification of potential lands and relocation needs

Bert Church Theatre

Quarterly UpdateThe 2012 theatre budget remains largely on track at this point. Revenues are projected to be slightly higher than anticipated due mainly to an increase in dramatic art class registrations and a modest increase in grant funding from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts. As always with the budget, revenue projections in advance of Q4 are difficult as it is indeed this quarter when the majority of annual revenues are realized. Expenditures are projected to basically remain at, or come in slightly less than originally anticipated levels.

2012 Business Plan Goals StatusS2: Identify ways to assist in offsetting operating costs and future capital improvements

New theatre sponsorship campaign well underway with the cooperation of several other City departments.

S12: Expand the educational and instructional programs offered by the Theatre to the public and increase enrollment accordingly

The 2012-2013 season will see an expanded dramatic art class program offered by effectively doubling the registration numbers over 2011-2012.

Provide improved service levels to community stakeholders with a newly renovated and expanded facility

Theatre expansion plans continue on schedule with construction tenders expected to begin at the end of 2012.

Increase overall utilization of theatre relative to available staff and facility resources

Not-for-profit facility rentals and inquires are on the rise and drama classes are scheduled to increase in 2012.

Waste & Recycling Services

Quarterly UpdateThe highlight of the quarter was Council's endorsement of the five year Waste Management Strategy which included a pilot curbside organics program for 2013. Staff participated in the Home & Garden show, hosted a grand reopening at the Westside Depot to showcase new signage and provide staff the opportunity to engage residents on various waste and recycling topics. Late in June a gate was put up at the south end of the Eastside Depot yard to increase safety in the yard. The fence stops residents from accessing the parks/public works yards and keeps others from accessing the depot yard from the south.


S13: Implement curbside seasonal garden waste collection Council has approved a pilot curbside organics collection program in 2013.

S13: Establish a formal education program targeting waste diversion and recycling to educate residents

An education program was started prior to the departure of the Education coordinator. Staff has continued to participate in school tours and attended the Home and Garden show, as well as hosted an open house at the Westside recycle depot where residents were given an opportunity to shred their personal documents at no charge.

S13: Reduce waste to landfill Seasonal grass and leaf drop off is in place, and residents can now recycle their household batteries.

AGENDA REPORT

Meeting Date (M/D/Y): 9/4/2012 Subject: Information on Off Leash Provisions of Dog Control Bylaw

No. 788

Boards Routed Through: Date: City Council 9/4/2012

Description:

Council requested staff to report on the off leash provisions of the Dog Control Bylaw No. 788 and an Officer„s ability to levy fines if the dog is on private property.

Background:

Staff has reviewed Bylaw No. 788 and have determined the following are the relevant sections of Bylaw No.788 which pertain to the information requested by Council. Bylaw No. 788 has four sections for the enforcement of dogs running at large, and they are as follows:

1. Section 201. Definition

“Running at Large” means a dog or dogs which are not under the control of a person responsible by means of a leash and is or are upon property including any park, school yard, highway, sidewalk or boulevard, the exception being areas not defined in this section or property where the owner of the dog or dogs has the right of occupation. Where there is no leash requirement a dog or dogs must be under the control of the owner at all times.

2. Section 301. The Owner of a Dog

(a) shall ensure the dog is not running at large, and

(b) shall be deemed to have failed or refused to comply with the requirements of the previous subsection unless he/she proves to the satisfaction of the Court trying the case, that he/she has taken the reasonable precautions either

(i) to secure the dog so that it would not be able to leave the premise of the owner, or

(ii) to ensure self that the dog was under constant supervision of a person

competent to control it at all times when it was off the premises of the owner. 3. Section 401 (1) The owner of a dog shall not allow a dog to:

(g) run at large. 4. Section 401 (5) The owner of a dog shall not allow a dog to run at large. The Answers to Council„s Question These sections pertain only to running at large and do not cover such sections as biting, regardless of whether on the owner‟s property or not. As noted Section 301 allows for charges to be laid in the instance where an owner fails to keep an animal contained and under supervision while on their property, and charges can be laid by Peace Officers for a contravention of this section. Section 601 of Bylaw No. 788 (The power to enact this bylaw comes from the MGA)

(1) A Dog Control Officer, Bylaw Enforcement Officer or a Peace Officer may enter any property surrounding any building and capture or impound any dog.

(2) A Dog Control Officer, Bylaw Enforcement Officer or Peace Officer or any person

authorized by this Bylaw to enforce the provisions contained herein may enter onto the land surrounding any building in pursuit of any dog which has been observed running at large.

Municipal Government Act (MGA) Section 542

(1) … a designated officer of the municipality may, after giving reasonable notice to the owner or occupier of land or the structure to be entered to carry out the inspection, remedy, enforcement or action,

(a) enter on that land or structure at any reasonable time, and carry out the

inspection, enforcement or action authorized or required by the enactment or bylaw,

(3) In an emergency or in extraordinary circumstances, the designed officer needs

not give reasonable notice or enter at a reasonable hour and may enter the land without the consent of the owner or occupant.

Based on the legislation surrounding both the MGA and Bylaw No. 788 an Officer has the authority to enter private property with reasonable cause.

Recommendation: That City Council accept this report for information.
