This afternoon, at 1:30 pm, there will be a Public Hearing. The agenda includes a number of zoning amendments, including allowing a range of small and medium housing in Keswick and Cy Becker. On Tuesday, at 8:30 am, there will be a meeting of the Agenda Review Committee.
On Tuesday, at 9:30 am, the main meeting of the week, a City Council meeting, will take place. Council will discuss designating the Field Log House as a Municipal Historic Resource and adding a sanction hearing process to the Council Code of Conduct Bylaw. The agenda also includes the Spring 2024 Supplemental Capital Budget Adjustment. Administration is recommending various adjustments to the 2023-2026 Capital Budget, including funding new projects, making scope changes, recosting, and changing funding sources, ultimately resulting in a net increase of $262.6 million. Council will also discuss the Edmonton Police Commission Audit (more on that below!). If the meeting doesn’t conclude on Tuesday, it will continue on Wednesday at 9:30 am. To end the week's meetings, the Special City Manager Recruitment Committee will meet at 12:00 pm on Thursday.
In a development that seems almost impossible to believe, Edmontonians will have a chance to see their team play for the Stanley Cup on home ice! Unfortunately, tickets for the first home game start at $1,321 and climb from there. Due to the astoundingly large distance between the teams (some 4,000 kilometres) the series will be quite drawn out. The first game was played in Florida (Edmonton lost 3-0), and Game 2 is also being played there this evening. Games 3 and 4, on Thursday and Saturday, will be here at home. Let’s Go Oilers!
