How suite it isn't
Council votes 8-7 against secondary suite reform
''If this fails today, we're done ... I'm done, frankly."
So was the sentiment of Mayor Naheed Nenshi earlier this week prior to council voting 8-7 against a reform plan for secondary suites in the city.
The mayor, expressing frustration at the tedious talks, followed up by saying if secondary suites showed up in council again, he'd leave the room until it came time to vote.
Ward 7 Coun. Druh Farrell, meanwhile, likened the entire process to "giving birth to a chair."

Budget #YYC: Parks particulars
As city council continues to work through day five of the budget, today brought up some questions about Calgary's Parks funding.
Ward 10 Coun. Andre Chabot wanted to cut one Community Services and Protective Services lifecycle program by more than $2 million, the results of which citizens would notice, said Anne Charlton, director of Parks.
Charlton said the fund is used for "hard materials", such as paving, tennis courts, a mix of 8,000 benches and picnic tables, 463 back-stops at ball diamonds and 8,000 soccer goal posts among other things.

Council undecided on relaxation of suites
Motion to provide 18-month window under review
Calgary homeowners with existing illegal secondary suites could have an 18-month window to get city approval if a current motion by council is approved.
On Monday, Ward 10 Coun. Andre Chabot suggested establishing a year-and-a-half "relaxation" for homeowners with current suites to meet with city officials and determine if their suites are legal or apply to make them so. After the 18 months, owners would be fined for a first offence.
The motion would also enable city administration to identify legal suites on an interactive map available to the public.
