Purpose
Council's appointment of a member and alternate member to the Edmonton Metropolitan Region Board (EMRB) Shared Investment for Shared Benefit Task Force authorizes attendance, participation, and remuneration for the appointed members.
Summary
The Shared Investment for Shared Benefit Task Force has been formed by the members of EMRB to increase the region's competitiveness and collaboration, sharing investments to support regionally beneficial projects and initiatives. It has been determined that investments and resulting benefits need to be shared equitably among the municipalities. The purpose of the Shared Investment for Shared Benefit Task Force project is to develop a model to identify regional projects and initiatives that require shared investment among the municipalities. The model will provide a tool to quantify the required investments and resulting benefits and determine an equitable distribution of both. The project will provide recommendations on the implementation and governance of the Shared Investment for Shared Benefit model.
At least one representative from each type of municipality - Urban and County - must be a Board member; and, Alternates for each appointed voting member of the Task Force municipality shall be identified.
The EMRB Shared Investment for Shared Benefit Task Force Terms of Reference was approved at the EMRB meeting held December 13, 2018. The EMRB Shared Investment for Shared Benefit Task Force came into effect on December 13, 2018.
