“I often get complaints from the purchasers of new homes that they have been mislead about what roads, parks, commercial and high-density residential developments are planned for their area.

City ManagerPlanning & Dev.


I would like a report from the Planning and Development Department on the possibility of a one-stop computer program or other system which would provide this information to potential home buyers before they make the full purchase.

What costs could be expected from such a system?

How long would it take to implement it?”

Due: Jan. 10, 1995

D.1.b. Bi-Weekly Waste Collection During the Christmas Holidays (Alderman Mackenzie).

“With the implementation of bi-weekly waste collection, I note that in some zones the Christmas vacation period may result in collection periods being much longer than two weeks. For instance in Zone E-1, there will be collection on December 23, 1994 and then not again until January 11, 1995. This is a high volume period and I ask the Public Works Department for recommendations on how they intend to deal with this situation in order to best serve our residents. In order to be proactive, is an extra pick-up planned? If so, how will the public be informed well in advance so that they may take advantage of it? How could this affect the Budget?

I would request a response at our next meeting of City Council.”

The grant was to fund a study to convert under-used office space into interim housing for special needs and low-income groups. Is our Housing Commissioner aware of this study?

Can Edmonton gain access to the findings as the study progresses?

Is this study applicable to Edmonton; and if so, are there any areas of the city where it may be pursued?”

D.1.f. Interim Hockey Action at the Agricom (Alderman Bolstad).

“Now that the National Hockey League season looks to be on hold for some time, I’m wondering if Economic Development Edmonton (EDE) has given any thought to working with Edmonton Northlands to bring in teams from other leagues, like the International Hockey League or the Junior Western Hockey League, for some exhibition games at the Agricom.

It seems to me a good many Edmonton hockey fans are ready for some action and might like something a little different, particularly if prices to the games could be kept reasonable. It could also be a good opportunity for teams from other leagues to showcase their product in a larger market.”
