REPORT REFERENCE
1. Public Involvement Review - Evaluation Phase
February 12, 1997 File: 1006-1
It was agreed that Report P1 would be considered at this point in
the agenda.
Ms. Jacqui Forbes-Roberts, Director of Community Planning,
introduced the report, advising that one of the priorities of the Better
City Government initiative and CityPlan is a review of how the City
involves the public. The review is now being undertaken in three
phases. The first phase involved the documentation of all the City s
existing involvement practices. The second will involve the evaluation
of the current practice, and the final phase will involve developing new
approaches where required.
Ms. Forbes-Roberts concluded that the staff working group is
operating on the principle that it is critical the evaluation be
undertaken by an objective, outside consultant who will operate at arms
length from City staff. It is also important that the process be open
and inclusive to enable the City to hear from as many staff and public
as possible.
Mr. Brian Johnston, Context Research Ltd., reiterated the process
will be inclusive and the City will hear from as many people as
possible. Due to the considerable resources devoted to public
involvement, the review will not just look at improving what the City
does, but will look at the effectiveness of what the City does. Mr.
Johnston reviewed the following steps which are proposed for the
evaluation process:
Step 1: Establishing an open process;
Step 2: Learning from the experience of other cities;
Step 3: Selection of sample processes to be reviewed;
Step 4: Selection of the evaluation criteria;
Step 5: Sample Process/Program Research;
Step 6: Preparation of a discussion paper;
Step 7: Public Review of the discussion paper;
Step 8: Final report to Council.
MOVED by Cllr. Bellamy,
THAT Council endorse the proposed work program as described in this
report for the evaluation phase of the Public Involvement Review.

2. Video Lottery Terminals: Update on Current
Experience Nationally
February 25, 1997 File: 2633-1
Ms. Judy Rogers, Deputy City Manager, provided an update on recent
developments nationally.
First, the Government of Ontario has recently announced the
introduction of 6,600 Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs) into 44
mini-casinos in 1997. Up until now, slot machines and VLTs were only
available in the four large casinos that are presently operating in the
Province of Ontario (two in Windsor, Casino Rama and Casino Niagara),
where there are 7,821 machines in operation. According to press
reports, the Ontario Government expects to generate revenues of $1
billion dollars from this new expansion, with 70% of those funds going
directly into the provincial coffers.
The second development comes from Edmonton where a report was
presented to City Council (February 18, 1997). The report on the
"Psychological, Social and Economics Effects of Video Lottery Terminals
and Gambling", highlights major concerns about VLTs in Alberta,
particularly on Edmonton s society. VLTs have in a short period become
a major form of gambling worth $1.7 billion annually.
In addition, in Alberta, the town of Rocky Mountain House
(population 5,000) recently held a plebiscite in which the residents
voted by a margin of 2 to 1 to withdraw video lottery terminals from
their town. Ms. Rogers advised the Provincial Government in Alberta has
agreed to honour the wishes of municipalities regarding this issue.
Mr. Jeff Brooks, Director of Community Services, Social Planning,
advised that the experience nationally is showing that VLT s are
proving to be an extremely addictive form of gambling, particularly
among juveniles. VLT s are cheap to play, readily available, highly
addictive and supported by Governments.
MOVED by Cllr. Clarke,
THAT this report be received for information; and
THAT a copy of this report, along with the report prepared for
Edmonton City Council be forwarded to Mr. Peter Clarke and to the
Honourable Dan Miller; and
THAT Council once again reiterate its previous motions relating to
opposition to the introduction of Video Lottery Terminals in the City of
Vancouver, as well the need for a comprehensive Gaming Act.
- CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

ENQUIRIES AND OTHER MATTERS
1. Photo Radar File: 1756-1/3701-1
Councillor Puil referred to the Council motion of February 4, 1997
which directed that photo radar be withdrawn in Vancouver. At present
photo radar still has not been withdrawn in Vancouver, and the Chief
Constable has been quoted in the media as saying the decision on photo
radar is his responsibility.
Mr. Ken Dobell, City Manager, advised that the Attorney General is
responsible for, and pays the costs associated with the Photo Radar
Program. The Attorney General has been advised of Council s resolution,
and presumably he will advise the Chief Constable that photo radar is no
longer appropriate in Vancouver.
