REGINA — Regina city councillors is holding the first executive committee meeting of 2026 on Wednesday, Feb.11.
Some notable agenda items include:
Surplus found in CSIR dissolution
City administration has identified roughly $880,000 in unexpected surplus found in the dissolution of Community and Social Impact Regina (CSIR).
Council voted to dissolve CSIR in February 2025, finding its goal similar to the Community Safety and Well-Being (CSWB) plan.
The city found $1.655 million from CSIR’s dissolution and contributed it towards homelessness and community well-being initiatives, including funding for the Regina Street Team, increasing co-ordination among service providers, and funding and administering community investment grants in social development.
Administration has recommended that the surplus be directed to already approved homelessness and community well-being initiatives.
Official Community Plan update
The City of Regina has provided a five-year update on its Official Community Plan (OCP).
The OCP sets goals, objectives and policies for managing land uses, new development, municipal utilities and services for the city.
Regina utilizes the OCP to anticipate its eventual population of 300,000. The new update recommends policy changes, including the city’s focus on new development in the city centre and upcoming neighbourhoods.
These neighbourhoods include Coopertown, Rosetown and Westerra.
Handling nuisance properties
The executive committee will decide whether to implement a tax subclass for nuisance and derelict properties.
Council debated the idea in October 2025, which administration opposed.
“We don’t think implementing [a subclass] is going to increase the amount of demolitions for derelict properties if that’s the objective,” said Kurtis Doney, deputy city manager of city operations at the time.
The city also said adding a new subclass wouldn’t generate any additional revenue for Regina.
If approved, the motion will go to council in late February for final approval.
