Some Calgary councillors want to 'rein in city hall overreach'

Summary

62% Informative

Councillors representing the Communities First political party want to clamp down on city hall’s tendency to fund programs and services that fall outside of the municipality's jurisdiction.

Motion asks city hall to develop a comprehensive chart of government responsibilities for key policy and service areas.

Motion would also require all council and committee reports to include a “clear jurisdictional label” indicating whether the item is a core municipal responsibility, a shared responsibility with other orders of government.

Mayor Jyoti Gondek says motion is "electioneering" and doesn't intend to cut any programs or funding.

“Electioneering is throwing money at stuff that might be self-serving.” Notices of motion are not debated at executive committee meeting. Rather, their advancement to a future council meeting is dependent on committee members’ approval of the motion’s legality and technical merits..
