This Week at City Hall

Tuesday, September 1
Finance and Administration Committee (12:15 pm): To help facilitate public access to six new, multi-use arenas on the Evraz Place property, Finance Committee is being asked for $288,635 to support street improvements. The money represents the amount the city received from Evraz from a land purchase and was earmarked for this purpose. Meanwhile, the communications department is asking for approval to seek out an advertising "agency of record" so that it can better coordinate marketing efforts for the city. The committee is also looking at an adjustment to the accounting of fleet revenues and expenditures, and a report on changes to the Administration Bylaw.

Wednesday, September 2
Board of Police Commissioners (9 am): At present, it would seem they still have the July 21 report on the Regina Police Service website. I'll try to keep an eye out to see if it gets updated. I suspect that this week they'll be looking at year-to-year crime stats for June and July so it'll be interesting to see if the "property crime down, people crime up" trend continues. Here's hoping that's a no.
Paratransit Advisory Board (5:30 pm): Reviewing service improvement initiatives, service hours for July through September, and the May - June 2009 ridership statistics.

Thursday, September 3
Mayor's Task Force on Access (5:30 pm): Looking at a report from the provincial government covering items in the budget that impact people with disabilities.

Full reports and agendas can be downloaded, this week and every week, from the city's website.
