After becoming Mayor,one of Archer's most noted legacy was to eliminate the city's business tax. [1] The tax,which had caused much controversy among the business community of Regina,had been introduced prior to Archer becoming Mayor,and was replaced by persuading the then Government of Saskatchewan to make payments to all municipalities in the province to compensate for a lack of property taxes. In 1989,Archer established the Regina Regional Economic Development Authority,with the aim of developing Regina's economic potential and promoting tourism. As Regina's Mayor,Archer was elected to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Board of Directors,serving for twelve years. In 2001,Archer's name was added to the Federation's Roll of Honour for his service in his position,following his leaving the position of Mayor of Regina the previous year. [1]
