Editor: Over the last few months, our City Manager Craig Dalton has engaged in open dialogue with the Lethbridge Transparency Council (LTC) on issues brought forward by the LTC. Our joint goal is to create a conduit to City Hall, where citizens can not just raise concerns, but also confirm information and understand the reasoning behind decisions and proposals being put forward by the City. A recent example illustrates this dialogue. Through media, it came to our attention that the City of Red Deer disclosed having a workforce of about 1,100 employees whereas Lethbridge was closer to 1800. The LTC could not find enough information to assess this difference, which if true would be concerning, so we put the question to Mr Dalton.

Editor: The Municipal Development Plan (MDP) – one of the most critical documents to impact the future of Lethbridge – is currently before City Council. The MDP sets the policy direction for everything the City does for the next 10 years, which in turn dictates where our tax dollars are spent and how services will be provided. Even more specific and detailed is the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), another massive document that will govern the spending of potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in identified projects. Following are some concerns we have with the current MDP and CIP process.
