Mancinelli: How do you compete with other communities?
Bailey: We are well equipped. We are in the game. Our team out-kicks our coverage. If you look at the funding mechanisms, you're asking can we compete, I believe we can. #yqrcc

This is EDR's results section from their report to council.
Colour me a nice Regina-beige shade of underwhelmed. #yqrcc

Bailey: As we figure out our communication piece, as we look at website revitalization, we're going to streamline those process so that it gives us a narrower focus on our impacts.

[BUT WHAT, SIR, DOES YOUR ORGANIZATION EVEN DO?!?!?!] #yqrcc

This presentation is better than the ones EDR provided last year. But still… jesus… I still don't fucking know what EDR fucking does. #yqrcc

a "State Of The Economy" event????
who is clamouring for something like this???? #yqrcc

Bailey: We have also heard from council to act on things that touch on vibrancy in the community. We are launching a State Of The Economy event but have taken that out of the budget ask & will fund through ticket sales. #yqrcc

Bailey: We're also working w/ admin on what business incentives could look like. #yqrcc

Bailey: Next year we're looking to bring on additional support for inclusive development w/ a focus on indigenous development. #yqrcc

Look… I can figure out from fucking context what "technical stack" means but no time is saved and nothing is added to the fucking conversation by using that coinage. It just fucking obfuscates. God I hate fucking bullshit business jargon like this. #yqrcc

Bailey: That includes putting new softwares in place in that reduction that will allow us to improve reporting in the short and long terms. We are predicting a loss for this year which will mainly be absorbed by reserves. #yqrcc

<foul mouthed follow up post deleted> #yqrcc

What the fucking fuck does "reduction in our technical stack" even fucking mean????? #yqrcc

Bailey: Internally we're cutting down on some overhead costs, like cutting down on how much we're requesting from the city for rent & overhead. There's a significant reduction in our technical stack. #yqrcc

In other words, "doing more w/ less" but not using the phrase "doing more w/ less". #yqrcc

Bailey: This year, we aren't trying to more w/ less. We have heard from council & across all organizations, a call to optimize our work so that we're as efficient as possible w/out sacrificing our impact on the community. #yqrcc

Up now, John Bailey the CEO of Economic Development Regina w/ EDR's budget request. He says it's a hold steady request. He says they want to move from a reactive posture to a proactive one. #yqrcc

Another phrase I'm pretty done with, "I think you're on mute." #yqrcc

Vote on Buffalo Pound semi annual report: Unanimous. #yqrcc

Turnbull: Is there a provincial plan if there is a water emergency to make sure the city gets water vs the industrial users?
Admin: There is not a plan but I believe residential water would be a high priority. #yqrcc

I am getting pretty fed up with the phrase "Can you hear me now?" #yqrcc
