That with respect to Report C2025-0277, the following be adopted: That Council hear from the following with respect to Item 9.3.3 Impacts of Photo Radar Restrictions, C2025-0277: Mark Neufeld, Chief Constable, Calgary Police Service; Chad Tawfik, Deputy Chief, Calgary Police Service; Sabina Lokanc, Senior Financial Officer, Calgary Police Service; and Amtul Siddiqui, Chair, Calgary Police Commission.
Council authorized the Calgary Police Service to draw up to $28 million from the Fiscal Stability Reserve in 2025 to cover reduced traffic fine revenue, and directed Administration to work with the Calgary Police Commission and return at the November adjustments with a plan and funding approach to separate traffic fine revenue from police operating budgets (C2025-0277).
The motion allows immediate funding to offset a projected 2025 traffic fine revenue shortfall and avoid a budget gap for the police, and starts a formal process to remove traffic fine revenue from police operating budgets. Council also requested direct presentations from police leadership on the impacts of photo radar restrictions to inform future decisions (C2025-0277).
