(Red Deer, Alberta)The following items are on Red Deer City Council’s open meeting agenda on December 16, 2025.
CONSENT AGENDA:
Downtown Business Association 2026 Budget Postponement
- City Council is being asked to postpone consideration of the Downtown Business Association’s (DBA) revised 2026 Budget to the January 13, 2026, Council meeting.
- The postponement is requested due to scheduling constraints and the need for additional consultation on the DBA’s 2026 Budget.
- This request comes following Council’s November 24, 2025, direction to amend the proposed budget by reducing The City grant to $100,000 and setting the Business Improvement Area tax levy at $200,000.
- More information about potential changes to the DBA can be found at www.reddeer.ca/hottopics
BYLAWS:
Bylaw 3737/2025 - 2026 Paved Network Roadway Management Program
Bylaw 3738/2025 - 2026 Storm Water Infrastructure – Annual Program
- City Council is being asked to consider first reading of two tax-supported borrowing bylaws that would allow The City to borrow up to $7.21 million for the 2026 Paved Network Roadway Management Program and up to $6.94 million for the 2026 Storm Water Infrastructure – Annual Program, if and when the funding is needed.
- Approval of these bylaws does not commit The City to immediate borrowing but ensures the necessary authority is in place, in compliance with the Municipal Government Act and within Council’s approved debt limits, to allow projects to proceed as planned during the 2026 construction season.
PUBLIC HEARING:
Zoning Bylaw 3357/E-2025 - Rezoning 6850 52 Avenue from 1-1 to 1-C (Second/Third Reading)
- City Council will consider second and third readings of Zoning Bylaw 3357/E-2025, which proposes rezoning the property at 6850 52 Avenue from Industrial Business Service (I-1) to Industrial Commercial (Mixed-Use) (I-C).
- The bylaw received first reading on November 10, 2025, was advertised in accordance with the Municipal Government Act, and is supported by Administration as it aligns with City policies and reflects the area’s gradual transition toward mixed industrial and commercial uses, with no objections received from nearby landowners.
