COUNCILLOR INQUIRIES

 

3.1

Revenue Streams for Special Purpose Facilities (D. Thiele)

 

 

 

 

In recent months and in the past, City Council has dealt with requests by various organizations and/or individuals with intent to build large facilities in the City of Edmonton (arena/entertainment area, Edmonton Economic Development Corporation Convention Centre, Northlands, etc.) and will be approached again in the future for same. 

My questions are about the revenue streams available to the City to pay for some of these large facilities:

1. What revenue streams or tools are available to the City for financing large projects?  Please provide a list of what currently is in place and the revenues earned (Community Revitalization Levy, ticket surcharge?).

2. Could Council apply a charge to Video Lottery Terminals ( i.e., $25 per machine per year) or a charge to parking operations? Could these be allocated to support these facilities?   What amount of revenue could be attained if levies are imposed?

3. Could certain other levies be applied: entertainment levy through city hotels or restaurant meal levy?

4. Could monies be raised to finance a large project using a Community Revitalization Levy? If so, what would be involved in institution of such?

5. What restrictions would apply when considering special levies?

6. Should the City follow the practice for large community projects whereby financial assistance of the Provincial or Federal Governments also be sought by the requesting organization?

7. What revenue streams could be used in the operation and maintenance of such facilities?

8. Please include information on the revenue streams that other major cities (specifically Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Houston, Seattle, Columbus or any others that apply) use for large or special purpose facilities.
