EDMONTON STATISTICAL REVIEW, 1973 - 1978 INTRODUCTION As in last year's edition, the Edmonton Statistical Review, 1973 - 1978 provides historical information on environmental conditions and resource utilization in Edmonton and its environs. This information has been compiled for the use of City Council and the Administration of the City of Edmonton to assist them in the formulation of civic corporate policies and programs. In addition, by providing a general consolidation of statistical data on various conditions in Edmonton it is hoped that this document might also prove useful to interested citizens, businesses and organizations.

The statistical information contained in this document is grouped into two parts, each comprised of three sections or chapters.

Part One provides detailed information respecting the changing demographic and socio-economic environment in Edmonton and the surrounding area. Section I deals with demographic factors such as population growth and age structure. Section II discusses economic factors in the areas of output and trade, prices and income, labour and employment, and construction and housing. Section III includes such social factors as crimes, traffic conditions and health. In many instances comparable data is provided for Alberta and Canada. However, it should be noted that this information is provided strictly for the purposes of comparison and in no way is intended to represent a complete picture of National or Provincial conditions.

Part Two provides statistical information in the areas of manpower, finance, and land, which are at the disposal of City Council and the City Administration. Specifically, Section IV presents information on financial matters, Section V discusses the City of Edmonton's land resources, and Section VI provides data on civic manpower resources. All sections of the Statistical Review contain various sub-sections each composed of a brief narrative accompanied by relevant statistical tables. The narrative is intended only to highlight some of the more important information contained within the tables. The table, or in some cases the figure, to which the narrative relates is noted in brackets following the relevant sentence or paragraph. Although it is our objective to provide as many variables of pertinent information as possible in this review, undoubtedly some information has either been inadvertently omitted or may not have been readily available and as such was not included. It is hoped that in future publications these omissions will be corrected.

During the preparation of this document we have received invaluable assistance from various departments within the City of Edmonton as well as from other government agencies such as Statistics Canada, Alberta Bureau of Statistics, Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Edmonton Regional Planning Commission, Edmonton Public School Board,

PART ONE

THE EDMONTON AREA ENVIRONMENT

i_HE: EDKOMI00 VW/ Ektd- O1WT

4. I. DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS

There are three commonly used geographic definitions of Edmonton for which pertinent demographic information is available. These areas include the Edmonton Sub-Region, the Edmonton Census Metropolitan Area (Edmonton Metro) and the City of Edmonton.

THE EDMONTON SUB-REGION AND THE EDMONTON CENSUS METROPOLITAN AREA (EDMONTON METRO)

With an area approximating 2,634 square miles or 6,848 kilometers, the Edmonton Sub-Region is defined as a highly inter-dependent socio-economic unit. Its boundaries are specified by the Edmonton Regional Planning Commission and shown in Figure I - 1.1.

Population in the Edmonton Sub-Region increased just over 3:0% in 1978 to 632,447, up from 613,479 in 1977. For the second successive year this rate of increase slowed. Average yearly growth for the period 1973-1978 was 3.0%, slightly higher than the 2.8% increase recorded by the Province. (Table I - 1.2).

Population growth in the Edmonton Sub-Region in 1978 represented 31.6% of total Provincial population growth, down from 35.8% in 1977. (Table I - 1.4).

Not unlike the Edmonton Sub-Region, the Edmonton Census Metropolitan Area (Edmonton Metro) is also regarded as an inter-dependent socio-economic unit, though in this case its geographical area is somewhat smaller than the SubRegion as shown in Figure I - 1.1. Census Metropolitan Areas, as defined by Statistics Canada, are comprised of (1) municipalities completely or partly

As with the Edmonton Sub-Region, the rate of population increase in Edmonton Metro for 1978 slowed for the second consecutive year, increasing by 2.2% to 582,342 up from 569,713 in 1977. Average growth for the period 1973 - 1978 recorded at 2.5% was less than that for both the Sub-Region and the Province. Except for the City of Edmonton and the Hamlet of Sherwood Park, all areas within the defined geography of Edmonton Metro evidenced population increases in excess of 5.0%.

Population growth in Edmonton Metro in 1978 represented 21.1% of total Provincial population growth, down from 30.5% in 1977. (Table 1-1.4).

Federal census data for 1971 and, most recently, 1976 reveals an increase in the number of households in Edmonton Metro up 24% from 144,815 in 1971 to 179,635 in 1976 coupled with a decline in household size from 3.3 to 3.1 persons. Family numbers also increased by 14.8% from 118,215 in 1971 to 135,690 in 1976, while family size declined from 3.6 to 3.4 persons. (Table I - 2.3).

10. 2. THE CITY OF EDMONTON The City of Edmonton is contained totally within Edmonton Metro and by implication within the Edmonton Sub-Region, as shown in Figure 1 - 1,1.

Within an area of 123.45 square miles or 320.97 square kilometers the City of Edmonton's population increased 1.4% in 1978 to 478,066 up from 471,474 in 1977. Average increase for the period 1973 to 1978 was 1.6% per annum. Both the yearly percentage increase and the average yearly percentage increase were markedly lower than those recorded by Edmonton Metro, Edmonton Sub-Region, and Alberta. Edmonton's population as a percentage of Edmonton Metro's was down slightly in 1978 to 82.1% from 83.0% in 1977. Similar declines were evidenced in the proportion of the City's population of the Edmonton SubRegion's, down to 75.6% from 76.9% in 1977, and the proportion of the City's population of Alberta's down to 24.5% from 25.0% in 1977. (Table I - 1.3).

Population in the City of Edmonton in 1978 increased by 6,592 persons. This represented 52.2% of Edmonton Metro's increase, down from a 63.9% share in 1977; 34.8% of the Sub-Region's increase, down from a 54.4% share in 1977; and 11.0% of Alberta's population growth also down from a 19.5% share in 1977.

(Table I - 1.4).

Of the 6,592 total increase in population in the City of Edmonton in 1978, 5,307 or 80.5% was accounted for by natural increase (births less deaths) and 1,285 or 19.5% was accounted for by net migration. (Table I - 2.1).

11. The most recently available Federal Census Data (1971 and 1976) records an 18.5% increase in the number of households in the City of Edmonton, up 155,490 in 1976 from 131,210 in 1971, and a 5.5% increase in the number of families, up to 113,135 in 1976 from 107,255 in 1971. Household size declined to 3.0 persons from 3.3 persons in 1971, and family size declined to 3.3 persons from 3.6 persons in 1971. (Table I - 2.3). As further evidence of the decline in family size, analysis of data for the years 1971 and 1976 shows a decreasing proportion of families with five and six or more persons with a concurrent increasing proportion of families with two or three members. (Table I - 2.4).

In 1978 in the City of Edmonton, 8,044 births or 16.8 births per thousand population were recorded, compared with 8,085 births or 17.1 births per thousand population recorded in 1977. But while the numbers of recorded births were slightly down in 1978, the number of deaths remained pretty well unchanged; 2,778 or 5.8 per thousand population in both 1977 and 1978. The numbers of marriages in Edmonton in 1978 were marginally down registering 5,144 or 10.8 per thousand population versus 5,245 or 11.1 per thousand population in 1977. (Table I - 2.5).

A. POPULATION BY WARD Of the total net increase in population in 1978 in the City of Edmonton of 6,592, Ward I increased by 1,974 or 1.7%; Ward II increased by 1,118 or 1.0%; Ward III decreased by 3,396 or -3.2%; and Ward IV increased by 6,896 or 5.2%. Average yearly change for the period 1973-1978 in Ward I was 1.2%; in Ward II 1.1%; in Ward III -0.4%, and in Ward IV 4.0%. Ward IV continues to contain the greater proportion of the City's population, 29.0% or 138,445, while Ward III contains the least, 21.8% or 104,068 in 1978. (Figure 1 - 2.6 and Table I - 2.8).

12. B. POPULATION BY SMALL AREA AND CENSUS TRACTS An examination of the City of Edmonton's population change by Small Area (defined by the City's human service delivery system areas) for 1973 and 1978 shows that the population in the older, more central, areas of the city declined while the population in the majority of the outlying areas increased. Small Area #11 recorded the greatest increase for the period 1973 - 1978, 19,450, while Small Area #12 recorded the greatest decrease, 6,702. (Figure 1 - 2.7).

Population change by census tract for 1973 to 1978 shows similar, though more detailed, data. Of particular note are census tracts #90, which increased by 1,137.49% to 21,223 in 1978; #78 which increased by 204.94% to 14,390 in 1978; and #6 which increased by 282.38% to 15,578 in 1978. (Figure 1 - 2.9 and Table I - 2.10).

25. II. ECONOMIC FACTORS

1. OUTPUT AND TRADE A. CANADA The Canadian economy continued to languish throughout 1978. Serious deficiencies were evidenced in key economic indicators hinting at significant structural weaknesses in many areas.

While Gross National Product at market prices registered a 10.3% increase in 1978, Real Gross National Product (GNP) increased 3.4% in 1978 only slightly up from a 2.7% recorded growth in 1977. Average annual growth in real GNP for the period 1973-1978 was 3.3% (Table II - 1.1).

There are numerous examples to illustrate Canada's present economic malaise, but the two primary concerns are: (i)the continual increase of the balance of payments deficit; (ii)the prevalence of capacity bottlenecks in many industrial sectors.

Following a modest surplus in 1974, Canada's position in its balance of payments has consistently deteriorated to a deficit of $5.3 billion in 1978. A fast rising deficit on the services account outweighed a moderate improvement on the merchandise trade account resulting from the devalued Canadian dollar . In 1978, specifically, the deficit on services rose to $8.8 billion while the surplus on merchandise trade was $3.5 billion. (Table II - 1.2).

A devalued Canadian dollar has exerted considerable pressure on many industry sectors resulting in capacity bottlenecks in some. Since 1975 the Canadian dollar has fallen against most of the world's major currencies. (Table II - 1.3). Yet, while the Canadian dollar has decreased in relative value, domestic investment in constant dollars has similarly declined. For the period 1974 to 1978 the yearly percentage increase in investment in Canada dwindled from 5.1% in 1974 to 0.5% in 1978. In terms of total private and public investment in current dollars in manufacturing, Canada recorded a 3.5% increase in 1978 to $9,621.5 million, up from $9,296.5 million in 1977. This compared with an 11.2% increase in 1977. Average growth for the period 1973 - 1978 was 11.5%. (Table II - 1.4).

B. ALBERTA While the national economy performed poorly, Alberta's economy prospered. With approximately 8.3% of the Canadian population, Alberta accounted for 11.9% of Canadian Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 1978.

Alberta's GDP

as a percent of Canadian GDP has increased from 9.2% in 1973 to 11.9% in 1978. Average annual growth in Alberta's GDP for the period 1973-1978 was 20.0% significantly greater than the Canadian average of 14.0% for the same period. (Table II - 1.5). As expected, in 1978 per capita GDP in Alberta recorded at $12,923 is shown to greatly exceed the Canadian average of $8,997. (Table II - 1.6).

27. The buoyancy of the Provincial economy is primarily premised upon the stability and well being of its fuels sector, particularly petroleum and natural gas. In 1978, 97.6% of total value of mineral production in Alberta was accounted for by the fuels sector. This $9.5 billion represented in excess of 84% of total value of production in the Canadian fuels sector. Interestingly, fuels as a percent of total dollar value of mineral production in Canada has increased from 38.6% in 1973 to just over 57% in 1978. Average growth in dollar value of fuels production in Alberta for the period 1973-1978 was 28.8% per annum, while for Canada average growth was 28.3% per annum. (Table II - 1.7).

While Alberta has prospered in its primary industry activities, in manufacturing its performance has generally lagged behind the national average. In 1978 for example, the value of manufacturers' shipments in Alberta totalled $7,460 million or slightly more than 5.7% of the Canadian total, considerably less than its performance in primary product industries, and down from 6.7% of the Canadian total registered in 1977. (Table II - 1.8).

A review of public and private investment activity in selected industry sectors for Alberta, Ontario, and Canada reveals some interesting information. In 1978, in terms of captial expenditures, for example, Alberta's investment in primary and construction-related activities represented 37.7% of the Canadian total while Ontario's represented 15.5%. In manufacturing activities, however, Alberta contributed only 11.0% of the Canadian total in 1978, while Ontario contributed 50.5%. Similar results are shown in an analysis of repair expenditures. This reflects the continuing dominance of Canadian manufacturing activity in Ontario, while in Alberta, investment activity continues to be concentrated in primary activities. (Table II - 1.9).

28. Total retail sales in Alberta of $6,793 million in 1978 were up 15.5% from $5,880 million in 1977. Average growth in retail sales for the period 1973 1977 was 17.6% per annum. (Table II - 1.10).

The value of cheques cashed in the Province in 1978 increased 20.5% to $248,111 million, up from $205,942 million in 1977. Average growth for the period 1973 - 1978 was 26.0% per annum. (Table II - 1.11).

C. EDMONTON Concurrent with Provincial prosperity, Edmonton displays a healthy and vibrant economy.

Retail sales in Edmonton increased by 18.2% to $2,720 million in 1977 versus a 9.9% increase in 1976. Average annual growth for the period 1973 - 1977 was 15.0%. Edmonton retail sales as a percent of Alberta's rental sales also increased in 1977 to 46.3%, up from 43.5% in 1976. (Table II - 1.10).

Automotive-related businesses continued to register the greatest percentage of total retail sales in Edmonton in 1977. At 35.5% of total retail sales, automotive-related businesses were up 27.6% to $961.6 million in 1977. Retail sales of General Merchandise were at $623.4 million or 23.0% of total retail sales, second in relative importance in 1977. (Table II - 1.12).

Total public and private investment in manufacturing industries in Edmonton Metro in 1978 increased 46.1% to $396.9 million for the year. This total represented 47.2% of Alberta's total, up from 41.1% recorded in 1977, and 4.1% of the Canadian total, up from 2.9% in 1977. (Table II - 1.4).

29. The value of manufacturers' shipments in 1978 was estimated to have increased 18.2% to $3,380 million, up from $2,860 million in 1977. Average annual increase for the period 1973-1978 was 24.4% ahead of the Provincial average of 20.2%. (Table II - 1.8).

While the food and beverage industry accounted for the largest percentage of the total value of manufacturers' shipments in Edmonton Metro (36.3%) in 1972, the petroleum and coal products industry had taken the lead (30.0%) by 1975. However, it should be noted that this change in lead is not the result of significant changes in volume, but rather the consequence of rapidly rising prices in the petroleum and coal products industry relative to those in the food and beverage industry. (Table II - 1.13).

PRICES AND INCOMES A. CANADA

The Canadian economy in 1978 was again characterized by a significant increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). At 175.2 the CPI was up 9.0% over 1977. This was the second consecutive year in which the CPI had a higher rate of increase over the previous year. An obvious propulsive force behind this upward trend was food prices. In 1978 the food price index rose 15.5% to 208.0, overshadowing increases in other categories. (Table II - 2.1) and Table II - 2.2).

With increases in the CPI, not surprisingly per capita personal disposable incomes and average weekly wages and salaries were shown to have also recorded increases. Per capita personal disposable income in 1978 in Canada at $6,620 was up 10.55% from 1977. Average annual increase for the period 1973 - 1978 was 12.9%. (Table II - 2.3). Average weekly wages and salaries - industrial composite - at $265.37 in 1978 were up 6.2% from 1977. The average annual increase for the period 1973-1978 was 10.6% (Table II - 2.4).

B. ALBERTA AND EDMONTON While consumer prices in Edmonton were up 8.9% in 1978, the highest of the seven cities studied, the rate of increase in prices was slightly down realtive to the 9.0% increase recorded in 1977. Average yearly increase in the City's CPI for the period 1973-1978 was 9.0%. (Table II - 2.2).

A review of inter-city indexes of retail price differentials as of September, 1978, shows that prices in Edmonton exceeded the combined eleven-city average by 7% in public transportation, 3% in food for home consumption and

For the second consecutive year new housing prices in 1978 increased 6.9% in Edmonton. This increase was second only to Calgary's reported 8.0% increase. Average annual increase in Edmonton for the period 1973-1978 was at 17.4%, the highest of the six cities studied. (Table II - 2.6).

New housing prices reflect the combined prices or costs of the serviced lot and the structure. It is interesting to note that average yearly percentage increase for serviced lots for the period 1975-1978 shows Calgary as being the highest at 20.5% and()Edmonton second at 16.9%. Toronto recorded the lowest at 3.6%. A review of new housing price indexes, structure only, reveals a similar result. Calgary with an average yearly increase for the period 19751978 of 9.5% is the highest, while Edmonton at 8.5% is second. Again, Toronto recorded the lowest at 0.7%. Generally, the prices of serviced lots for new housing are shown to be rising at a rate generally greater than the rate of increase in the prices of structure only. However, it should be noted that the relative impact of the price of the serviced lot to total new housing price as well as the relative impact of the price of the structure to total new housing price will vary between and within cities and over time. (Tables II 2.7 and Table II - 2.8).

An important determinant of the price level of housing is the cost of construction. In 1978 the basic union wage rate index, an average of 16

While the numbers of tax returns, including taxable and non-taxable returns, increased 6.1% in Edmonton in 1976, total income increased 18.8%. Of this total of $3,743.1 million, income from taxable returns accounted for 94.0% while income from non-taxable returns accounted for 6.0%. Average tax per taxable return was up 10.8%, with the federal portion up 11.1% and the provincial portion up 9.8% (Table II- 2-10).

Of eleven major Canadian cities studied, average income per tax return in Edmonton was second highest at $11,626, well above the Canadian average of $10,313 and the Provincial average of $11,155, (Table II - 2-11).

In 1978 per capita personal disposable income increased by 10.0% in Edmonton, and by 11.2% in Alberta to $7,940 and $6,965 respectively. These totals compare favourably with the Canadian average of $6,557. Average yearly increase in per capita personal disposable incomes for the period 1973-1978 in Edmonton was 14.3% and in Alberta was 13.9%.

(Table II - 2.3).

In almost all categories of provincial taxes and fees as of June 1979, Alberta ranks the lowest or near lowest; the only exceptions being health insurance premiums and the minimum passenger vehicle registration fees. It should be recognized that all items of taxes and fees have an impact on disposable incomes (Table II - 2.12).

Elements of quality change are excluded from the price measures. Separation of house and land values is derived from builders' estimates of the market value of a serviced lot in the subdivision in which the house is sold, were such a lot to be sold separately. These indexes should be treated with considerable caution as there is evidence to suggest that builders' estimates are slow to be changed particularly in a downward direction.

3. LABOUR FORCE AND EMPLOYMENT

The labour force participation rate in Edmonton in 1978 increased to 69.0%, up from 68.0% recorded in 1977. This compares favourably with Alberta's recorded 68.2% and Canada's recorded 62.6%, both of which were up from 1977. (Table II - 3.1).

While labour force participation rates were up in 1978, so too, was unemployment. Edmonton in 1978 recorded a 5.0% unemployment rate, versus 4.2% recorded in 1977. Provincial unemployment was similarly up, but at 4.7% was slightly less than Edmonton's. On the national scene unemployment continued to worsen, registering 8.4% in 1978. (Table II - 3.1).

While nationally the industrial composite employment index in 1978 increased 1.5% to 146.5, Alberta registered a 5.2% increase to 203.3, and Edmonton recorded a 1.1% increase to 208.3. Average annual percentage increase for the period 1973-1978 for Canada, Alberta and Edmonton Metro was 1.5%, 6.2%, and 5.3% respectively. Interestingly, in Edmonton Metro, rapid advances in the employment index-industrial composite in earlier years, specifically 1973, 1974 and 1976, have moderated considerably in later years, notably in 1977 and 1978. (Table II - 3.2).

Information from the 1971 labour force survey reveals that an increasing proportion of the labour force in the Edmonton Metropolitan Area is concentrated in the service sectors. Community, business and personal services, for example, accounted for 27.6% of the total labour force, retail and wholesale

While the National Housing Act and conventional mortgage rates were slightly down from June, 1977, the bank rate and the prime lending rate set by chartered banks were both significantly up, to 8.50% and 9.25% respectively. (Table II - 4.1).

The total value of building permits increased again in 1978, however the rate of increase moderated somewhat to 18.5%, down from a 29.9% increase recorded in 1977 and a 56.2% increase recorded in 1976. Of the 1978 total of $746.2 million, we find that residential building permits were the most important, representing 61.7% or $460.2 million, commercial building permits ranked second in importance, representing 24.1% or $180.0 million, and institutional building permits ranked third at 7.5% or $55.6 million. Notable increases in 1978 were recorded in residential building permits, up 22.1%, and in institutional building permits, up 61.2%. (Table II - 4.2).

Housing starts in 1978 in Edmonton increased 37.7% to 14,668 units, while in Edmonton Metro housing starts in 1978 increased 39.8% to 17,065. Edmonton housing starts as a percentage of Edmonton Metro's declined to 86.0%, down 1.3 percentage points from 1977. (Table II - 4.3).

Housing completions in Edmonton in 1978 increased by 23.6% to 13,574, while in Edmonton Metro housing completions increased 21.1% to 15,567. The City's recorded housing completions as a percentage of Edmonton Metro's increased for the fourth consecutive year to 87.2%. (Table II - 4.3).

As above, the total housing starts in 1978 in the City of Edmonton totalled 14,668. Of this, 5,434 or 27.0% were single or semi-detached, while 9,234 or 63.0% were row, apartment or other. Of Edmonton Metro's total housing starts of 17,065 in 1978, 7,294 or 42.7% were single or semi-detached, and 9,771 or 57.3% were row, apartment or other. It is interesting to note that in the city a decreasing proportion of starts are single or semi-detached. In Edmonton Metro, however, there is a more balanced distribution of starts (Table II - 4.4).

In 1978 the total number of dwelling units in the City of Edmonton increased 4.4% to 177,727, up from 170,274 in 1977, but down from the 6.8% recorded increase for that year. Of this total, 98,539 or 55.5% were single-family units while 79,188 or 44.5% were categorized as others. Since 1973 the absolute numbers of single-family units have increased 28.4%. (Table II - 4.5).

As above, the number of single-family dwelling units in Edmonton in 1978 was 98,539 or 55.5% of the total 177,727 dwelling units. Second in relative importance were apartment buildings with 50,229 units or 28.3% of total dwelling units. Two-family dwellings with 12,458 units or 7.0% were third, while terrace buildings and row housing were fourth with 10,539 units or 5.9% of total dwelling units. (Table II - 4.6).

The apartment vacancy rate in Edmonton Metro remained low in 1978; 0.8% in both April and October. This was slightly up from 0.2% recorded in April, 1977, and 0.1% recorded in October 1977. However, the 0.8% apartment vacancy rate recorded in 1978 was significantly down from 8.1% and 5.2% recorded in June and December 1973, respectively. (Table II - 4.7).

(Table II - 4.8).

A further, more detailed analysis of aggregated major downtown office space reveals the following information. At year-end 1978, 446,790 sq. ft. were categorized as vacant. This represented a 36.6% decline from 1977's yearend vacancy total of 704,940 sq. ft. In 1978, 330,000 sq. ft. of office space wereadded bringing total available space to 1,034 sq.ft., versus 1,369,000 sq. ft. added in 1977 to bring total supply to 1,503,140 sq. ft. Absorption for 1978 totalled 588,150 sq. ft., 26.3% less than 1977's recorded 798,200 sq. ft. (Table II - 4.9).

Commercial space by regional shopping centres as of May 31, 1978 totalled 4,510,000 sq. ft., up 3.6% from 1977's recorded 4,355,462 sq. ft. By square feet of leasable area, Kingsway Garden Mall with 698,608 sq. ft., or 15.5% of total leasable area ranks as the most important. Second with 617,000 sq. ft., or 13.7% is Londonderry, and third with 601,834 sq. ft. is Southgate Shopping Centre. (Table II - 4.10).

76. III SOCIAL FACTORS

CRIMES, TRAFFIC AND FIRE A.

CRIMES

Total crimes in Edmonton in 1978 were down 1.1% to 69,829. Though crimes against persons increased 1.0% to 5,355, crimes against properties were down 1.5% to 39,824. For the period 1973-1978 crimes against persons increased from 4,811 to 5,355 with a yearly average increase of 2.2%.

For the same

period crimes against properties increased from 31,236 to 39,824 with a yearly average increase of 4.9%.

(Table III - 1.1).

The increase in 1978 recorded crimes against persons was spurred by an increase in attempted murders (37 vs. 20 in 1977), manslaughters (3 vs. 1 in 1977), woundings (82 vs. 72 in 1977), and assaults (4,239 vs. 3,978 in 1977). Moderating influences to the recorded increase in crimes against persons included a decrease in the number of reported murders (16 vs. 18 in 1977), the number of reported rapes (73 vs. 100 in 1977), and the number of reported robberies (905 vs. 1,114 in 1977). (Table III - 1.1).

It is noteworthy that the number of rape cases reported in 1978 was the lowest humber recorded in. the entire period 1973 - 1978.

A 10.8% increase in the number of cases reported as frauds and false pretenses (2,230 vs. 2,013 in 1977) was offset by a 3.3% decrease in reported breakings and enterings (9,409 vs. 9,728 in 1977), a 1.8% decline in reported thefts (26,728 vs. 27,217 in 1977), and a 1.8% decline in the number of reported

77. cases of possession of stolen goods (1,457 versus 1,484 in 1977). Combined, the number of crimes against properties declined 1.5%.

Drug-related crimes in 1978 declined by 2.6% from 3,510 to 2,577 in 1977.

The number of reported new cases of juvenile probation continued to decline in 1978 to 78 cases, down 1.3% from 79 reported in 1977. This represents the least number of reported new cases of juvenile probation for the entire period 1973 - 1978.

The incidence of reported child abuse cases was generally up in 1978. While physical child neglect was down a slight 4.3% to 44 in 1978, psychological child neglect was up 42.1% to 27 reported cases, and child cruelty more than doubled to 31 reported cases. (Table III - 1.2).

B. TRAFFIC Both total traffic accidents and unsafe traffic violations increased in 1978. (Table III - 1.3).

At 20,803 total traffic accidents were up 11.5% over 1977 and generally up 4.6% per annum over the period 1973 - 1978. Though fatal accidents declined by 11.1% (48 versus 54 in 1977), injury accidents increased by 77.8% (2,496 versus 1,403 in 1977), and other accidents increased by 6.1% (18,259 versus 17,207 in 1977).

The recorded number of unsafe traffic violations was 128,817 in 1978, up 6.5% over 1977 and reflected a yearly average increase of 10.7% for the five-year period 1973 - 1978.

78.

Except for the number of fatal accidents and injury accidents, slight declines in all aggregated categories of traffic accidents and violations were evidenced in 1976. This anomaly is most probably the consequence of a January 1, 1976 policy change amending the reportable property damage value from $200. to $350. Hence, it should be noted that comparisons between pre1976 and post-1976 data might be misleading.

Total motor vehicle registrations increased from 254,789 in 1972-1973 to 321,867 in 1976-1977, an average increase of 4.7% per annum.

Data for 1977-

1978 is, at time of publication, unavailable. (Table III - 1.4).

C. FIRE The total number of calls received in 1978 declined 3.3% to 7,354 down from 7,603 recorded in 1977. While building fire calls increased 8.1% to 722, up from 668 in 1977, the number of other fire calls declined by 7.6% to 1,680, down from 1,819 in 1977. Total fire calls, then, were down 3.5% for the year and generally down 4.3% per annum for the period 1973-1978.

Though the total

number of non-fire calls declined by 3.2% (4,952 in 1978 vs. 5,116 in 1977), increases were recorded in the number of service calls, up 5% from 1,558 to 1,636, and the number of unnecessary calls, up 3.2% from 1,653 to 1,706. Only the number of medical aid calls declined - down 15.5% to 1,610 from 1,905 in 1977 (Table III - 1.5).

The total number of causes of building fires increased 8.1% from 668 recorded in 1977 to 722 in 1978. Decreases were evidenced in fires caused by smoking, down 6.9% from 130 in 1977 to 121 in 1978, and in arson or suspected arson down 8.6% from 186 in 1977 to 170 in 1978. Increases were recorded in fires caused by child action, up 9.3% to 59 from 54 in 1977, electrical - up 22.6%

HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES

A. HEALTH Again in 1978 diseases of the circulatory system were the principal causes of deaths recorded in the City of Edmonton. This category, totalling 1,176 persons or 42.4% of all deaths, was marginally down from 1,207 persons or 47.2% recorded in 1973. By number, neoplasms (cancers) and accidents, including poisoning and violence, were second and third in importance, respectively. Unlike the category "diseases of the circulatory system", both categories "neoplasms" and "accidents, poisoning and violence" displayed increases in relative incidence. The category"neoplasms"for example, at 603 persons or 21.7% of the total in 1978 was up significantly from 501 persons or 19.6% of the total recorded in 1973. Accidents, poisoning and violence as causes of deaths also increased from 285 persons or 11.1% of the total in 1973 to 326 persons or 11.7% of the total in 1978. (Table III - 2.1).

Suicides, homicides, and auto accidental deaths all recorded declines in 1978 in number and percentage. Suicides, down for the second consecutive year, were recorded in 82 instances in 1978 and accounted for 2.5% of total deaths. Homicides at 13 accounted for 0.5% of total deaths in 1978. Auto accidental deaths at 93 in 1978 represented 3.4% of total deaths. (Table III - 2.2).

Infant mortality increased in 1978 to 114 or 1.4 % of total births.

A continuing increase in illegitimate births was evidenced in 1978. From 926 or 12.0% of total births in 1973, illegitimate births increased to 1,211 or 15.0% of total births in 1978. Average increase for the period 1973-1978 was 5.5%.

A review of Federal census data for 1971 and 1976 shows a slightly increasing percentage of Edmonton's population being categorized as married, up to 46.6% in 1976 from 45.6% in 1971. Of note is the decrease in numbers that are single and under 15 accompanied by the increase in numbers of single and over 15. (Table III - 2.3).

Divorce rates in the Edmonton Judicial District in 1976 (534.0 per 100,000 population) ranked well about the Canadian average (235.8) and Alberta (309.9). For the period 1971 - 1976 the divorce rate in Edmonton has consistently outpaced both the Canadian average and the Alberta average. (Table III - 2.4).

SOCIAL SERVICES

The total number of day care placements in Edmonton increased from 2,656 in 1973 to 5,148 in 1978, an average increase of 14.2% per annum. Of this 5,148 in 1978, 1,380 or 26.8% represented placements in Government-subsidized spaces and 3,768 or 73.2% represented placements in other centres. (Table III 2.5).

The total number of social assistance recipients declined by 2.3% in 1978 to 12,378 from a high of 12,665 recorded in 1977. Average yearly increase for the period 1974 - 1978 was 1.2%. Of the total social assistance recipients in 1978, 5,290 or 42.7% were categorized as unemployable, 1,425 or 11.5% were categorized as employable and 5,663 or 45.8% were categorized as those with dependent children. (Table III - 2.6).

OPERATING REVENUES A.

COMPOSITION OF OPERATING REVENUES

In 1978 total operating revenues were up 20.8% to $251.0 million. Of this, property tax revenues of $78.8 million represented the largest single source. But while revenues from property taxes have generally increased over the period 1973-1978, i.e., from $36.4 million in 1973 to $78.8 million in 1978, the relative proportion of property taxes to total operating revenues has generally declined, i.e., from 35.3% in 1973 to 31.4% in 1978.

Grants from other levels of government as sources of operating revenues rank second in importance. At $31.8 million or 12.7% of total operating revenues, total grants, excluding government payments in lieu of taxes, in 1978 were up 10.3% for the year and generally up 24.3% per annum for the period 1973-1978. However, since 1975 the relative share of grants to total operating revenues has generally declined.

Utility contributions were third in importance in 1978, contributing $250 million or 10.0% of total operating revenues. Like property taxes and grants from other levels of government, the relative share of total operating revenues represented by utility contributions also declined, from a high of 16.7% in 1973 down to 10.0% in 1978.

Business tax revenues of $24.3 million or 9.7% of total operating revenues in 1978 and transit revenues of $23.5 million or 9.3% of total operating revenues in 1978 were ranked fourth and fifth in importance, respectively.

94. Both of these revenues for the period 1973-1978, evidenced a general increase in relative shares of total operating revenues.

Of all other operating revenues the local improvement tax was the highest at $12.5 million, or 5.0% of total operating revenues. (Table IV - 1.1).

PROPERTY ASSESSMENT AND TAXES

Property assessment in Edmonton in 1978 totalled $2,712.9 million, or 6.3% over 1977. Of this, taxable properties represented 75.9% or $2,058.9 million, and exempted properties represented 24.1% or $654.0 million. Of the total taxable properties, land accounted for $1,030.0 million or 50.0%, down from 51.1% in 1977, and improvements accounted for $1,028.9 million or 50.0%, up from 48.9% in 1977. The distribution of total taxable assessment among the various types of properties in 1978 was 46.5% for single-family dwellings, 19.9% for other residential dwellings and 33.6% for non-residential property. (Table IV - 1.2).

In the absence of a general assessment,any increase in total assessment represents real growth because it either comes from new construction of buildings or from new additions or improvements to the existing buildings. As the assessment value for most of the existing individual properties remained constant after 1973, a change in the mill rate would bring about the same degree of change in the property tax for the ratepayers.

On a per-dwelling basis in 1978 the average assessment for single-family dwellings at $9,713 remained almost identical to 1977's $9,714. For other residential dwellings, however, average assessment increased 2.6% in 1978 to $5,164. up from 1977's recorded $5,031. (Table IV - 1.3).

95. The composite municipal mill rate increased 13.6% in 1978 to 39.32 mills from 34.62 mills recorded in 1977. The property tax mill rate in 1978 for single-family dwellings, including Municipal Levy and Supplementary School Levy, was up 11.8% to 58.40 mills; for other residential dwellings it was up 12.2% to 70.69 mills; and, if the School Foundation Levy is included, for nonresidential properties it was up 9.5% to 100.65 mills. Notably, the School Foundation Levy was removed from residential properties in 1974 concurrent with the introduction of a split mill rate policy for the municipal levy. This policy applied a lower rate to single-family residential properties than to other properties. However, by 1975 this two-tier split had become a threetier split. (Table IV - 1.4).

The average tax per dwelling unit in 1978 for all purposes increased 11.8% to $567 for single-family dwellings and 15.1% to $365 for other residential dwellings. Average yearly increase in average taxes for the period 1973-1978 for single-family dwellings was 3.1% and for other residential dwellings was 6.4%. Since 1974 the average of municipal taxes for single-family dwellings increased 10.8% while the average of school taxes increased 21.0% for the same period. For other residential dwellings for the period 1974-1978 the average of municipal taxes increased 10.9% while the average of school taxes increased 21.4%. (Table IV - 1.3).

96. According to the property tax survey undertaken by the Corporate Policy Planning Office of the City of Edmonton in the fall of 1977, a house with a finished floor area of 1,000 square feet, five years old, no garage and on a 50' x 120' lot was assessed total property taxes, net of homeowner grants, of $309 in Medicine Hat, $400 in Lethbridge, $486 in Calgary, $507 in Saskatoon, $512 in Edmonton, $563 in Regina, $639 in Vancouver, $677 in St. Albert and $752 in Winnipeg. The effective mill rate in Edmonton, as measured by the net property taxes divided by the current market value of the house was 8.13 mills, with only Medicine Hat, Lethbridge and Calgary being lower. (Table IV - 1.5).

BUSINESS ASSESSMENT AND TAXES

The average of Edmonton's business tax rate in 1978 was 12.1%, only minimally up from 12.0% recorded in 1977. Total business tax was up 23% in 1978 to $24.3 million and generally up 28.4% per year for the period 1973 - 1978. It should be noted, however, that any change in the total business tax is attributable to a change in the assessment base. Specifically, Edmonton's business assessment base increased 22.4% in 1978 to $201.1 million and was generally up 26.2% per year for the period 1973 - 1978. It is interesting to note that the number of business premises in Edmonton at the beginning of the year only increased 2.3% in 1978 to 11,719 and were up generally for the period 1973-1978 only 3.7% per year. (Table IV - 1.6).

OPERATING GRANTS

The structure of grants from other levels of government continued to change in 1978 with the relative shifting in importance to conditional grants versus unconditional grants. That is, unconditional grants in 1978 totalling $10,599 represented only 33.3% of total grants, down from 34.1% in 1977 and 56.5% in

Grants from the Province in 1978 represented the greater proportion of total grants, i.e. 95.7%, while grants from the Federal Government represented a modest proportion, i.e. 4.3%. (Table IV - 1.7).

Total grants per capita increased 22.4% per year for the period 1973-1978, i.e. from $24 in 1973 to $66 in 1978. Of this, conditional grants per capita increased from $10 in 1973 to $44 in 1978 or 34.5% per year for the period 1973-1978 while unconditional grants per capita increased from $14 in 1973 to $22 in 1978 or 9.5% per year for the period 1973-1978. (Table IV - 1.8).

E. UTILITY CONTRIBUTIONS Utilities contribution to General Revenues in 1978 totalled $26.6 million with return on investment representing 33.6% or $8.9 million and taxes representing 66.4% or $17.6 million. The composite percentage increase in total contributions for the year was 14.9%, with the increase in taxes being specifically 18.8% and the increase in return on investment being 14.9%. Since 1973 taxes as a proportion of total contribution have increased while the proportion represented by return on investment has declined.

At $11.6 million, Edmonton Power was again the largest individual contributor of all utilities in 1978. However, its relative share had declined from 62.4% in 1973 to 43.6% in 1978. Taxes of $7.7 million represented the greater proportion of Edmonton Power's contributions.

98. By share of total contribution, second in importance in 1978 was 'edmonton telephones'. With 32.3% of total contribution, up from 22.6% in 1973, 'edmonton telephones' accounted for $8.6 million in 1978. As with Edmonton Power, taxes represented the greater proportion of 'edmonton telephones' contribution.

As contributors to total utility contributions to General Revenue, third, fourth and fifth in relative importance were Edmonton Water, $3.6 million or 13.7%, Edmonton Municipal Airport, $1.2 million or 4.6%, and Edmonton Sanitary Sewers, $0.8 million or 3.0% respectively.

Prior to 1976,

the Edmonton Municipal Airport did not make any contribution to the City by way of return on investment. Edmonton Sanitary Sewers did not make any contribution to the City by way of return on investment as well,and has only â&#x20AC;˘ recently, 1977, started to pay revenue taxes. (Table IV - 1.9).

Effective January 1, 1977, a new utility fiscal policy was implemented in the City of Edmonton, requiring each utility to make a 15% return on the City's equity investment with 9% of the return going to the City's general fund and the remaining 6% being retained in the utility's reserve fund for future capital expansion.

SOURCE: Edmonton Assessment Department A general assessment took place in 1973. * * The School Foundation levy was removed from all residential properties in 1974. Prior to 1974 a uniform mill rate was applied to all types of properties for both municipal and school purposes, but the single family dwellings enjoyed preferential assessment treatment. In 1974, the Provincial Government removed the preferential assessment treatment from the single family dwellings and allowed municipalities to adopt a split mill rate policy. In order to restore the preferential treatment, Edmonton utilized a two-tier mill rate policy in the same year, applying a lower mill rate to the single family dwellings than to other properties for municipal purposes. However, a single rate was still applied to all properties for school purposes. The two-tier split became a three-tier split in 1975 and after. In the meantime, the gap of the split was widened every year.

CAPITAL FINANCING

Total capital funds receivad in 1978 were down 10.8% to $262.5 million but up 23.4% per annum for the period 1973-1978. Growth was particularly significant in 1975 when a yearly increase of 48% was recorded. (Table IV - 2.1).

A. DEBENTURE BORROWINGS Debentures and mortgages remained the principal source of capital funds, contributing 68% of total capital funds in 1978 and more than half of the total in each year from 1974 - 1978. (Table IV - 2.1).

In 1978 $24.4 million or 13.7% of total debenture borrowings were tax-supported, down from 22.4% in 1977, and $153.6 million or 86.3% were self-liquidating, up from 77.6% in 1977. (Table IV - 2.2).

Total outstanding debt increased 16.3% in 1978 to $932.2 million. Average yearly increase for the period 1973 - 1978 was 19.0%. Of the 1978 total outstanding debt, the tax-supported portion was 22.0% or $204.8 million and the self-liquidating portion was 78.0% or $727.3 million. (Table IV - 2.3).

Total debt as a percentage of taxable property assessment was up from 24.9% in 1973 to 44.9% in 1978. Of this, tax-supported debt as a percentage of taxable property assessment was 9.6% in 1978, up only slightly from 9.0% in 1973 but down from 10.2% in 1977, while self-liquidating debt as a percentage of taxable property assessment was 35.3% in 1978, up consistently from 15.9% recorded in 1973. (Table IV - 2.3).

109. On a per capita basis, total outstanding debt increased 14.6% in 1978 to $1,949. Average yearly increase for the period 1973 - 1978 was 17.1%. That portion represented by self-liquidating debt was $1,521 in 1978 while that portion represented by tax-supported debt was $428. (Table IV - 2.3).

In 1978 in terms of tax-supported debt, Edmonton was second to Calgary. However, with $1,949, Edmonton had the highest per capita total outstanding debt, including self-liquidating debt, of six major Canadian cities. Calgary at $898 was second, followed by Winnipeg at $479 and Ottawa at $326. Per capita debt service charge and debt service charge as a per cent of personal disposable income were also the highest in Edmonton in 1978. (Table IV - 2.4).

CAPITAL GRANTS

The second largest source of capital funds in 1978 was grants from other levels of government, i.e., Provincial and Federal. At $39.3 million these grants represented 15% of total capital funds, slightly down from 1977's recorded $46.2 million and 16% respectively. (Table IV - 2.1).

In 1978 Transportation Services received 67.2% of total grants, up significantly from 47% in 1977. Recreation and Cultural Services were second in importance in 1978 receiving 17.4% of total grants, but down significantly from 41% in 1977. (Table IV - 2.5). (NOTE: the functional classification of programs and departments is shown in Figure IV - 2.6).

110. By source, the Provincial Government continued to provide the greatest proportion of capital grants. In 1978 Provincial grants of $29.9 million represented 82.7% of all grants, while Federal grants of $602 million represented 17.3% of all grants, .Very little proportionate change between these two sources of grants has occurred over the period 1973-1976. -(Table IV - 2.7),

OPERATING EXPENDITURES A. TOTAL EXPENDITURE

Total operating expenditures for municipal services increased 23.4% in 1978 to $249.2 million. Of this total, Protective Services accounted for the largest share, 25.0% or $62.4 million, Transportation Services was second accounting for 24.4% or $60.6 million, and Fiscal Services was third accounting for 18.9% or $47.3 million. Environmental Development Services represented the smallest share of total operating expenditures accounting for 3.6% or $9.0 million. Average yearly increase in total operating expenditures for municipal services was 20.1% for the period 1973 - 1978. (Table IV - 3.1 and Figure IV - 2.6).

For Utility Services total expenditures in 1978 increased 18.1% to $194.2 million, slightly down from a 27.4% increase recorded in 1977. Average yearly increase for the period 1973 - 1978 was 22.9%. (Table IV 3.1).

As above, the Fiscal Services function (i.e. the debt service charges) accounted for 18.9% of total municipal operating expenditure in 1978. This was up slightly from 17.9% recorded in 1977 but down from 21.7% recorded in 1973. By function, Transportation Services accounted for the greatest share of municipal debt charges. (Table IV - 3.2). If these municipal debt charges are allocated to each function and then aggregated with the appropriate operating expenditures, Transportation Services became the largest with $82.4 million or 33.1% of total expenditures. Second in importance is Protective Services with $63.4 million or 25.5%. (Table IV - 3.3).

128. V. LAND RESOURCES 1. LAND USE Through annexation the City of Edmonton has more than doubled its size from 57.63 square miles in 1961 to 123.45 square miles in 1978. The largest recorded annexation to date was one of 15,072 acres, which occurred in 1971 encompassing the current areas of Mill Woods and Castle Downs. No annexations have occurred since 1976. (Table V - 1.1).

There are a variety of categories of land-use within the City. Unfortunately detailed information on all categories is not yet available. There is, however, limited data on the categories industrial land, parkland and school land.

A. INDUSTRIAL LAND As of June 30, 1978, 3,902.23 net acres or 71.6% of the total 5,447.74 net acres of vacant industrial land were zoned A6-MR1. By area, second in relative importance with 823.22 net acres or 15.1% of the total was M2. M1 with 458.02 net acres or 8.4% of the total and M3 with 264.27 net acres or 4.9% of the total were third and fourth in importance respectively. (Table V - 1.2).

Of the total 5,447.74 net acres of vacant industrial land at June 30, 1978, 3,819.24 net acres or 70.1% were unserviced while only 29.9% or 1,628.5 net acres were fully or partly serviced. (Table V - 1.3).

B. PARKLAND At December 31, 1978 the City of Edmonton had 13,012.64 acres of parkland and open space. Of this, 8,526.76 acres or 65.53% was parkland, while 4,485.88

129. or 34.47% was categorized as open space. With 5,351.15 acres, River Valley and Ravine Parkland represented 41.12% of total parkland and open space. Of this 5,315.15 acres, 2,182.77 acres or 40.8% was within the Southwest Recreation district. By area, second in relative importance with 2,133.17 acres or 16.39% of total parkland and open space was public school board land. Third and fourth in relative importance with 1,462.83 acres or 11.24% and 1,008.73 or 7.75% were neighbourhood parks and district parks and athletic grounds, respectively. (Table V 1.4)

C. SCHOOL LAND Due to continuously declining school enrollments the utilization rate of school buildings, as defined by the actual number of students as a percentage of operational capacity, remains relatively low. For example, during the school year 1977-1978 only 77.7% of the total capacity in the Public School System and 82.2% of the total capacity in the Separate School System was used. For the school year 1978-1979 the utilization rate of the Separate School System declined to 80.9%. (Table V - 1.5).

2. LAND DEVELOPMENT In 1978 the City of Edmonton serviced land for 8,682 residential dwelling units, down a considerable 26.2% from 11,768 serviced in 1977. Of this, 3,814 units or 43.9% of the lots were categorized single-family, while 4,868 units or 56.1% were categorized multiple-family. Again, as in the previous three years, the numbers of serviced lots exceeded the recorded increase in the City's population. (Table V. - 2.1).

Land serviced for industrial purposes was down 39.2% in 1978 to 352.0 net acres from 579.1 net acres in 1977. (Table V. - 2.1).

As of December 31, 1978, 21,984 units designated for single-family dwellings or 60.4% of a capacity of 36,369 in all outline plan areas were serviced. For the same period 30,714 units designated for multiple-family dwellings or 39.3% of a capacity of 78,148 units in all outline plan areas were serviced. Mill Woods maintained the greatest residential capacity, i.e., 14,713 units for single-family dwellings and 20,556 units for multiple-family dwellings, with 64.1% of single-family designated land and 41.3% of multiple-family designated land have been serviced. (Table V. - 2.2).

Vacant serviced residential land in the City of Edmonton continued to increase in 1978, up 23.9% to a total of 14,511 units. Of this, 5,070 units or 34.9% were designated for single-family dwellings and 9,441 units or 65.1% were designated for multiple-family dwellings. It is interesting to note that vacant lots for single-family dwellings increased only 2.4% over 1977's total while vacant lots for multiple-family dwellings increased 39.8% for the same period. (Table V. - 2.3).

VI MANPOWER RESOURCES

1. NUMBER OF CIVIC EMPLOYEES

In response to increasing demands for not only more public services but also more sophisticated public services, we find in Tables VI - 1.2 and VI - 1.3 that the absolute numbers of civic employees have increased and significant changes have been evidenced in departmental structures and functional emphasis. In 1978 the number of permanent civic employees increased 4.1% to 10,573 up from 10,155 in 1977. For the period 1973 - 1978 the number of permanent civic employees increased an average 8.0% per annum.

Permanent civic employees engaged in municipal departments increased 5.9% in 1978 to 5,445 up from 5,140 in 1977. Average per annum increase for the period 1973 - 1978 was 7.3%. (Table VI - 1.2).

Permanent civic employees in utilities departments increased 2.3% in 1978 to 5,128 up from 5,015 in 1977. For the period 1973 - 1978 the average per annum permanent staff increase was 8.8%. (Table VI - 1.2). While 1978 witnessed a general increase in the number of permanent civic employees, the total number of temporary employees declined 8.2% to 1,687 from 1,837 in 1977. For the period 1973 - 1978 the total number of temporary civic employees was down on average 3.1% per annum. (Table VI 1.3).

142.

The number of temporary civic employees in municipal departments in 1978 was down 3.4% to 1,107 from 1,146 in 1977. Average per annum decrease for the period 1973 - 1978 was 3.4%. (Table VI - 1.3).

Temporary civic employees in utilities departments declined by 16.1% to 580 from 691 in 1977. For the period 1973 - 1978 average per annum decrease was 2.5%. (Table VI - 1.3). Generally speaking, the number of temporary civic employees, except for those in Edmonton Transit, fluctuate up and down from year to year. Certainly no definitive trends are evident.

2. TOTAL MAN YEARS An 8.4% increase in total man years in municipal departments, and a 4.8% increase in total man years in utilities departments combined to push aggregate manpower strength of the City of Edmonton, in man years, up 7.3% in 1978 to 11,868 vs. 11,063 recorded in 1977. For the period 1973-1978 aggregate man years of the City of Edmonton increased an average 7.4% per annum while for the same period the number of man years in municipal departments increased an average 7.6% per annum and the number of man years in utilities departments increased an average 6.8% per annum. (Table VI - 2.1)

A review of data respecting the percentage distribution of the City of Edmonton man years by group in 1978 shows an increasing percentage of man years allocated to permanent positions vs. temporary, and an increasing percentage of man years allocated to municipal departments vs. utilities departments. As shown in Table VI - 2.2 the percentage distribution of total permanent positions has increased from 81.4% in 1973 to 87.3% in 1978. Table VI - 2.2 further reveals that the percentage distribution of man years in municipal departments has increased over the period 1973 - 1978 from 68.7% in 1973 to 69.5% in 1978. By function, of the 1978 total of 11,868 man years, Utility Services with 3,622 man years has the largest share (30.5%). Second in importance with 2,299 man years (27.9%) was Transportation Services. Third with 2,044 man years (24.8%) was Protective Services and fourth with 1,307 man years (11.0%) was General Government Services. (Tables VI - 2.3 and VI - 2.4).

Source: Compiled from data provided by Edmonton Personnel Department. NOTES:

(1) Figures shown are bi-weekly averages of the numbers of positions filled. (2) Including Edmonton Transit, Storm Sewers and Solid Waste. (3) a) For all departments except Edmonton Parks and Recreation one man year is defined as a person working 260 days a year and 8 hours a day. If a person works for 6 months (130 actual working days) that is the equivalent of 1/2 man year. b) For Edmonton Parks and Recreation, because of the peak seasonability of employment and because of the limited hours worked per day by some temporary employees 3 temporary positions filled in Parks and Recreation Department are counted as one man year. The total number is the bi-weekly average of the year and excludes the Local Board of Health. This number, therefore, does not correspond exactly with those in Tables VI - 1.1 and VI - 1.2.
