Campaign Disclosure Report 

• City Council is asked to receive a report on campaign disclosure statements submitted by candidates in the 2025 municipal general election. Under Alberta’s Local Authorities Election Act, candidates who filed a notice of intent or ran in the election are required to submit financial disclosure statements outlining campaign contributions, fundraising revenue, and expenses, which municipalities must receive and make publicly available to support transparency in local elections. 

Zoning Bylaw Amendments 3357/C-2026 – Omnibus Amendments 

• Administration is bringing forward an omnibus amendment to Zoning Bylaw 3357/C-2026 to improve clarity, consistency, and flexibility in how the bylaw is interpreted and applied. The proposed changes are mainly housekeeping and minor policy/wording updates (e.g., adding “Shopping Centre” as a C-4 use, clarifying fence rules, removing obsolete/duplicated items, and fixing typos/numbering).  

• Council is being asked to give first reading, after which the bylaw would be advertised and brought to a Public Hearing on April 14, 2026. 

REPORTS: 

Adopted Budget and 3-Year Operating Plan 

• Council will consider formal adoption of the 2026 Operating Budget, a required step under the Municipal Government Act that confirms the Interim Budget approved in December and enables the 2026 Tax Rate Bylaw to proceed in April. 

• Administration has incorporated final technical adjustments and reconciliations to ensure the budget figures are accurate and aligned with Council direction. 

• Council will review The City’s 3-Year operating financial plan in principle, as required by legislation.
