5.1 Cost Leadership

Attachment: Cost Leadership Idea Form

Moved, seconded and CARRIED
THAT Item 5 “Notification Area for Mail-outs”, on the Cost Leadership list requiring Council decision, be removed from the Cost Leadership list.

Moved, seconded and CARRIED
THAT Item 6 “Annual Dog License Tags”, on the Cost Leadership list requiring Council decision, be proceeded with.
Voting against: Councillor Clay

Staff was also requested to provide an analysis of this dog licensing change in two years and report back to Council.

Moved, seconded and DEFEATED
THAT with respect to Item 6 “Sell sponsorship advertising”, on the Cost Leadership list not requiring Council decision, staff investigate potential revenues from advertising on television screens at the Recreation Centre and at City Hall.
Voting against: Acting Mayor Rockwell, Councillors Lahti, Nuttall
This one is unfortunate i think - if you go into local restaurants, even elevators, you notice these electronic billboards, now usually 28inch or larger lcd screens.  The advertising is by banner, around the edges, and the technology give you dynamic messaging.  You can get the hardware free if you allow advertising - why not ?

It was requested that Item 26 on the Cost Leadership list not requiring Council decision be moved to the Cost Leadership List requiring Council decision as Item 7.

 
Moved, seconded and CARRIED
THAT with respect to Item 3 “Increase Fees”, on the Cost Leadership List requiring Council decision, staff investigate the fee structure for use of turf fields with the understanding that there is a higher cost borne by the city as they are turf fields, and report back on turf field costs and fees.
Voting against: Councillor Nuttall

Moved, seconded and DEFEATED
THAT with respect to Item 1 “Host a Show & Shine”, on the Cost Leadership List requiring Council decision, staff report back on potential revenue and the structure for a show and shine event.
Voting against: Councillors Clay, Dilworth, Elliott, Nuttall
The legion already hosts a show and shine - we can support them if desired, but not compete with them !
Moved, seconded and CARRIED
THAT with respect to Item 4 “Casino”, on the Cost Leadership List requiring Council decision, a referendum question be prepared for the 2011 General Local Election in November asking the same question as was asked in 2004.
Voting against: Councillors Clay & Nuttall
Question has been asked before - without context (ie: we do not have any proposal before the city ) it is impossible to judge anyone's support - are they supporting a casino, or a casino as part of additional development - like 30 storey high rises. Vancouver experience speaks for itself on this one - when/if the opportunity is there , it will require EXTENSIVE public consultation, not just 'well you approved a referendum in 2011'.

Moved, seconded and CARRIED
THAT with respect to Item 7 “Parking Revenue”, on the Cost Leadership List requiring Council decision, formerly Item 26 on the List not requiring Council decision, staff report back with details about potential paid parking within the city and include the previous reports as well as more up to date information on the feasibility of a citywide pay parking strategy.
Pay parking may be a method of demand management, i dont see it being much of a revenue generator - we have asked to get the information back which will help make a case of moving this forward or not.

Moved, seconded and CARRIED
THAT with respect to Item 10 “Field Advertising Program”, on the Cost Leadership List not requiring Council decision, staff report back when the investigation on field advertising is complete.
