A.2. EMERGENT MATTERS - HALF HOUR QUESTION PERIOD.

On a Point of Privilege, Alderman Hayter stated the following:

December 11, 1990 1370

If the Federal Government gets its way, the GST will be implemented January lst, much to the dismay of most Canadians. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) does not support the GST and considers it as a massive tax grab by the Federal Government.

However, the financial blow to municipalities would have been devastating if the FCM had not successfully lobbied Finance Minister, Mr. Michael Wilson, for changes in the original proposal. The FCM Standing Committee on municipal finance, which I had the pleasure of chairing, extracted a commitment from Wilson that municipalities would not pay move under the GST than they would under the existing Federal Sales Tax.

After more than two years of negotiations, we finally arrived at a formula which represented Wilson's commitment. The effective rate for municipalities will be approximately three percent rather than seven percent. This was a major victory for municipalities. One, that will save cities, town, villages and rural municipalities across this country millions of dollars a year.

In its negotiations, our Standing Committee relied on the expertise and professional guidance of a Technical Advisory Committee comprising top financial managers drawn from key municipalities across Canada.

An important member of that Technical Committee was Ted Edwards of the City of Edmonton's Finance Department. As Chairman of the FCM's Standing Committee on Municipal Finance, I can attest to the valuable contributions that Ted made.

I would like to present a Certificate of Appreciation to Mr. Edwards on behalf of the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association, in recognition of his outstanding work on this matter, and I know that members of council wholeheartedly endorse this well-deserved acknowledgement.

Alderman Mackenzie entered Council Chambers.

Mayor Reimer entered Council Chambers.

Deputy Mayor, Alderman Mason vacated the Chair and Mayor Reimer assumed the Chair.

Alderman Hayter made the presentation and Council acknowledged Mr. Edwards.

Alderman Campbell on a Point of Privilege stated the following:

December 11, 1990 1371

Earlier this year, Edmonton hosted over seven hundred people from Japan, who are here because the tenth anniversary celebrations of the relationship with the Province of Alberta and the Prefecture of Hakaido in Japan and I want to congratulate the City of Edmonton, generally, but I also want to be specific and read a letter from the Deputy Premier Minister Internal Governmental Affairs, Jim Horsman.

"On behalf of the Alberta Hokkaido Tenth Anniversary Steering Committee and the Alberta Government, I would like to thank you for your contribution in making the anniversary celebrations an overwhelming success."

It goes on to say:

"During my recent visit to Hokkaido, the people of that Prefecture and Governor Takahior Yokomichi expressed their thanks for the warm-hearted hospitality extended to them by Albertans during their visit to our Province. And, in particular, they found the barbecue at Fort Edmonton Park, hosted by the Alberta Community, an evening which they will always remember."

There is also similar type of correspondence from the Deputy Minister and I want to say the Fort Edmonton Park is a very well-attended and appreciated tourist destination in Edmonton and my thanks and those of Council go to the Parks and Recreation Department for their continued activity in Fort Edmonton Park hosting this type of function.

Alderman Hayter on a Point of Privilege stated the following:

On the evening of November 20th, I was contacted at home by a reporter for the Edmonton Journal regarding the assault charge laid against Alderman Ken Kozak. My wife answered the telephone and was a witness to the discussion.

The reporter asked me for a comment on the charge and I replied that the matter was personal, arising out of Kozak's private life, and it would be decided by the Courts.

She asked if Alderman Kozak should remove himself from Council until the matter was settled. I said this was a decision that could only be made by Alderman Kozak and added there was nothing in the Municipal Government Act which would require him to step down.

December 11, 1990 1372

She then asked if I thought Alderman Kozak should resign if he was found guilty of the charge and I replied that it would be inappropriate for me to make any comment. The reporter continued to press the point, stating: "Surely, you have an opinion on this. Shouldn't he be forced to give up his seat on Council if he's convicted?"

I replied: "I've told you three times now that I have no comment on that. Don't try to put words in my mouth."

The following morning, The Journal reported that I said Kozak should not be asked to give up his seat even if he was found guilty by the Courts. The attribution was false. I made no such statement to the reporter.

I brought the inaccuracy to the attention of the Journal's City Desk, but to date, no correction has been printed.

I raise this matter at this time, Madam Mayor, because the inaccurate statement, if left unchallenged, can lead people into believing that the misquote was factual. Fiction is not fact.

Mackenzie, Mason, McKay, Paull, Staroszik, White.

F.1.q./G.1.z. Bylaw No. 9292 - To Amend the Text of Bylaw 5996,the Edmonton and Use Bylaw as Amended to Add a NewSection - Section 814 - Overlay Schedule for MajorCommercial Corridors (MCCs).

HISTORY

Major Commercial Corridors (MCC's) have emerged over the last few years as a new, large scale commercial development form in Edmonton. In recognition of various site planning, urban design and transportation related problems associated with this new form of commercial development, the Planning and Development Department in 1987 established a staff task force to identify and address various land use and development control issues. This task force also undertook in depth consultation with staff responsible for reviewing MCC development and redistricting applications. Through this consultation and survey process, significant concerns about the disjointed and ad hoc development of MCC areas were identified. The Overlay Schedule associated with proposed Bylaw 9292 was, therefore, prepared to address these emerging site development problems.

Selection of specific corridors was based on their function as the major entranceways and access routes to the city and, in association with this function, the emergence of these corridors as prime locations for new types of larger scale, innovative commercial developments.

Representatives of the development industry, sign industry, the Chamber of Commerce and business organizations concerned with specific segments of the MCC's have also been advised of this approach.

PURPOSE

The proposed Overlay Schedule will establish landscaping, architectural and site planning development criteria for the purpose of ensuring that development along the major commercial corridors of the city is visually attractive and does not prejudice the safety and transportation function of the associated arterial roadways. These development criteria will be applied in addition to the development regulations of the various underlying districts affecting the commercial corridors; thereby ensuring that the development potential of sites along these corridors is not affected, while also ensuring a consistently high standard of appearance along these highly visible areas of the city.

Many of the provisions of the proposed MCC Overlay Schedule are already applied on a random site-by-site basis through the application of the DC5 District. The purpose of the Overlay will be to apply these elements on a more consistent basis in order to promote a higher standard and a more environmentally appealing quality site development for all of Edmonton's major commercial corridors and entrance routes.

K.1. ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES - WASTE MANAGEMENT BRANCH

AMENDMENT MOVED Mayor Reimer

December 11, 1990 1434

That $110,000 be established as a partnership fund to assist in the establishment of recycling depots at strategic places throughout the city and provide collection service from those depots.

Rationale:

1. Landfill capacity throughout the entire Edmonton region israpidly depleting, giving added urgency to take reasonablemeasures to keep materials out of the landfill. In the longterm, recycling conserves natural resources and preventspollution.

2. The current drop-off centres at BFI, ERS, and EnvironmentResource Centre are used to full capacity, and many apartmentdwellers, small business people, school leaders, etc. haveindicated a willingness to deliver recyclables to a depot asan interim approach.

3. Local discussions and experience in other cities shows thatthere are businesses and institutions who would be willing toprovide the necessary supervision of a depot. Deleting thecosts of full-time staffing makes depots a very cost-effectiveway to collect recyclables.

4. Further exploration of the use of City transfer stations, suchas Kennedale, as drop-off depots, can be included as part of astrategy to provide options for people who are willing toassist the City by delivering recyclables.
