November 25 City Council Recap – New Customer-Service Technology Approved

Moose Jaw City Council has voted to move forward with new technology aimed at improving City Hall efficiency and enhancing customer service. At the regular meeting of City Council Monday, November 25, City Council voted to award Diamond Municipal Systems with a contract to supply the City with a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System, which is a Financial/Accounting software package. The decision aligns with the City’s Strategic Plan to improve the technological resources of the City. The ERP will improve process and procedures, and offer residents a “Virtual City Hall”, offering options like: E-billing. Online payments. Viewing of property tax and utility bills history. Renew business and pet licenses. Full implementation of the ERP is expected to take two years, but the customer-service features are expected to be ready by the end of 2020. Other items from the November 25 City Council meeting: – Buffalo Pound Water Corporation presented their 2019 Semi-Annual Report. The Corporation is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Plant, which is jointly owned by the Cities of Moose Jaw and Regina and supplies us with safe drinking water. At the November 25 Executive Committee meeting: – Council gave initial approval for City Administration to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for trades services including: Electrical Plumbing/HVAC Carpentry The decision aligns with the Strategic Plan goals of being forward-thinking and solution-focused, the concept is operate as a pilot project for ten months.

Affordability Prioritized With 2020 Parks and Recreation Fee Structure

Increasing facility attendance through continued affordability and accessibility is the priority of the 2020 City of Moose Jaw Parks and Recreation facility rates and fees schedule. Parks and Recreation has experienced a positive increase in attendance at City facilities since membership rate reductions and a new City Recreation Pass were implemented this past spring and would like to continue this positive momentum in 2020. The implementation of more affordable rates for Children, Youth and Seniors has shown that revenues can be increased through increased attendance rather than a rate increase. The fee structure, approved by Moose Jaw City Council at the November 12, 2019 meeting, is designed to maximize revenues by increasing attendance. The new rates will come into effect April 1, 2020. Among the highlights: 0% increase to Youth and Child membership and admission rates. The implementation of the seniors’ rate at the Sportsplex Pool on June 1, 2019 has been very positive. To continue to attract seniors to our facilities, all senior membership and admission rates will have a 0% increase in 2020. The only adjustment will be a $4.00 increase to the seniors walking program monthly membership at Yara Centre. This new rate works out to $1.25 per session if used 20 times per month. 0% increase to all Yara Centre, Aquatic and Outdoor Sports fields rental rates. Adult admission rates will increase by 50 cents (working out to a 7% increase to adult memberships and a 3% increase to family rates). Toddler turf time program family drop-in rate increased from $6.25 to $7.75. Market adjustments were also applied to Arena Ice rates ranging from a 5% increase for minor sport rates and a 2% increase to adult rates. 2% increase to most arena summer sport court rates. Effective date of the new rates will now be April 1 instead of June 1 to avoid rate changes during the indoor arena season and outdoor field season. For more details, call Parks and Recreation at 306-694-4447.

Infrastructure Enhancements and Efficiencies Go Alongside Modest Tax Increase in Proposed 2020 City of Moose Jaw Budget

Moose Jaw – Aligned with the City’s Strategic Plan and Financial Guidelines, City of Moose Jaw Administration has presented the proposed 2020 Budget to City Council. A 2.02% property tax increase for 2020 is on the table, broken down as follows: Even with these modest increases, the average house in Moose Jaw ($258,000 value) would pay $1,593.30 on an annual basis or $132.78 per month in Municipal Property Taxes, one of the lowest rates in Saskatchewan. Explaining the need for the 1% increase to Leisure Services, City Manager Jim Puffalt explained “Our prime focus is the City’s water main replacement program, however we need to ensure funds are available to repair aging City facilities. Not addressing those maintenance realities leaves the potential for large-scale issues in the future.” Along with the proposed Property Tax increase, a 6.00% increase to Water rates and 5% increase to Sewer rates in 2020 have been tabled in order to keep pace with costs associated with  maintaining the City’s water security. It’s expected that 2020 will see the efficiencies created through the 2019 Budget that allowed for the creation of an in-house Engineering Design Team from existing budgeted funds and re-allocating those funds to a second construction crew. This second crew will focus on the backlog of repairs to the system and then move to a replacement crew. As well, the City has allocated an additional 50% or $3,300,000 to the Water Main Replacement Program in 2020 and a further $3,300,000 in 2021 from funding provided by the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program. Puffalt added “Along with the Budget we are continuing the process of reviewing core services, making the optimum use of our resources, finding efficiencies and creating opportunities.” To view the 2020 Budget document, click here. City Council will begin Budget deliberations Monday, November 18, 5:30 p.m. in Council Chambers at City Hall. Other Budget meetings are scheduled for November 27, December 4 and December 11 (if necessary), also at 5:30 p.m. The public is welcome to attend all Budget sessions.
