That Alderman Demong's Item of Urgent Business, Re: Property Tax Penalty Mitigation due to Postal Strike, after amendment, be adopted, as follows: WHEREAS there is considerable disruption to the Canadian Postal system as a result of unsuccessful labour negotiations; AND WHEREAS there is no assurance that this disruption will end prior to June 30 of this year when civic taxes are due; AND WHEREAS this will cause disruption and difficulties for citizens mailing in cheques to enable their civic property taxes to be paid in time to avoid penalties. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT The City of Calgary offer penalty abatement for late payment of civic property taxes, due to the postal strike, for an additional period of time ending one week after full postal services resumes.
