Developer Funded Infrastructure Stabilization Fund (DFISF)
The City of Calgary has been provided the finalized version of the DFISF Manual by BILD.
The DFISF Manual was developed by industry and outlines the technical requirements and qualifications of oversize claims. The Manual is now applicable to all future signed Development Agreements. In addition, the Manual will be retroactively applied to all oversize claims which have no been paid in active Development Agreements.
The oversize fund continues to be administered by the City of Calgary and fund balances are reported on a monthly basis to BILD Calgary Region.

Water Resources – Service Disconnections Review
The City of Calgary is reviewing changes to the service disconnection process, and have presented a suggested new process to Industry.
The new process would remove the requirement for deposits and have service disconnection process tied in with Development Permits. Vacant properties will require a disconnection before the issuing of a demolition permit.
BILD’s Water Management, Technical Developer, and Inner City Committees have expressed support for the change. A bylaw change is required to implement the new process without deposits, and The City of Calgary will update BILD via bulletin prior to implementation.
