Ward 5 Update from Randy Donauer
Railway Crossing at 51st Street:
This crossing was to be redone in 2011, but was postponed by the railroad. We now have their assurances that this crossing will be done in May 2012. The City of Saskatoon cannot repair the crossing, as it is the property of the railway. We are lobbying to have this crossing redone as soon as possible though. I will try to give you advance notice concerning road closures.
Credit Rating:
Saskatoon has received a AAA Credit Rating for over 10 years in a row. Standard and Poor’s has completed their annual assessment and Saskatoon is one of only 3 cities in Canada to receive a AAA credit rating. This independent third party assessment is important because an impartial financial assessor tells us how well we do in managing our city’s finances, and how we compare to other cities in Canada. Some quotes from the report:
“Saskatoon’s economic fundamentals, in our view, are excellent.”
“The city has strong budgetary performance.”
“In 2010, Saskatoon’s debt burden was a manageable 3.2% of operating revenues.”
“In 2010, and since 2001, cash investments have been well above 1000% of debt service.”
