That with respect to Report C2024-0251, the following be adopted: That Council: Direct Administration to design and implement a revised methodology that aligns with the Quantity Only model, to transition The City in how it collects Local Access Fees from electricity and franchise fees from natural gas starting from 2027 January 01. Direct Administration to seek all necessary approvals, including Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) approvals, in order to implement a Quantity Only model for collecting franchise fees from electricity and natural gas. Direct Administration to use the following design principles in designing a Quantity Only model: Build a model that will provide more stability and predictability than the current model in how much The City collects in revenue. Support affordability concerns of Calgarians and businesses. Minimize shifts in proportions across user classes with the intent of not materially shifting the financial responsibility from one user class to another. Maintain and improve The Citys financial sustainability ensuring The City continues to collect at a minimum the currently budgeted Local Access Fee and Franchise Fee amounts from both electricity and natural gas. Build a model that will continue to support both The Citys operating and capital budgets. Continue advocacy efforts aimed at other orders of government to secure necessary funding for infrastructure and capital investments in The City. Direct Administration to change the Council Policy CFO003 Franchise Fee/MCAF Revenue Budgets and Variances and develop a funding source, program and framework to support an annual amount of $10 million in 2025 and 2026 for Energy Poverty and Affordability initiatives with funding from a portion of any potential positive variance collected from the Local Access Fee operating budget.
