A
Okay,
good
morning,
everyone
welcome
to
standing

policy
and
strategic
priorities
for
Wednesday
July
26
2023..
This
meeting
is
being
convened
by
electronic
means
as
authorized
under
part
14
of
the

and
as
such
committee
members
May
participate
in

during
the
voting
process,
team

are
available
to
get
you
back
online
quickly.
A
While
the

has
been
circulated
to
You
video
of
council

that,
in
accordance
with
section
14
of
the

Quorum.
A
I,
remind
counsel
that
when
addressing
speakers
and
team
members,
we
will
avoid
using
gendered
honorifics
and
will
instead
refer
to
the

by
first
and
last
name.
Rule
or
title
I
would
also
like
to
acknowledge
that
we
are
on
the
unseated
homelands
of
the
musqueam
Squamish
and
swallowtooth
people.
We
thank
them
for
having
cared
for
this
land
and
look
forward
to
working
with
them
in
Partnership,
as
we
continue
to
build
this
great
City
together.
A
I
would
also
like
to
take
a
moment
to
recognize
the
immense
contributions
of
the
city
of
Vancouver's
team
members
who
work
hard
every
day
to
help
make
our
city
an
incredible
place
to
live,
work
and
play
in
case
of
emergency.
If
we
need
to
evacuate
the
building,
I
would
like
to
direct
your
attention
to
the
exits.
There
are
two
exits
beyond
the
glass
doors
and
to
the
left.
If
these
exits
are
obstructed.
Please
direct
your
attention
to
the
four
exits
in
the
chamber
and
please
use
the
stairs
and
not
the
elevator.
A
B
C
A
Thanks
very
much
so
plan
for
the
day
we
have
seven
items
of
business
on
today's
agenda:
one
presentation,
five
reports
and
one
council
member
motion.
We
will
recess
for
lunch
at
noon
and
reconvene
at
1pm.
Should
the
business
not
be
completed
prior
to
5
pm.
Today
we
will
recess
for
dinner
at
five
and
reconvene
at
six.
I
would
like
to
remind
council
members
that
if
amendments
are
brought
forward,
they
must
be
submitted
to
the
city
clerk
in
final
written
form
before
the
council
member
introduces
them.
A
A
A
A
So
I'm
not
seeing
anyone
wanting
to
hold
reports
two
through
four
okay,
moved
by
a
counselor,
Carr
and
seconded
by
counselor
Classen.
Okay,
all
those
in
favor
say
yay.
Okay,
that
carries.
Thank
you
very
much.
Okay.
Does
any
member
wish
to
declare
a
conflict
of
interest
on
the
consent
items
two
through
four
I
forgot
to
ask
that
before
apologies,
yeah.
A
Okay,
so
that's
been
approved
on
consent,
not
seen
any
conflicts
reports
two
through
four-
that
is
2023
annual
inflationary
rate
adjustment
for
development,
cost
levies,
ubcm
2023,
Community
excellence,
awards
submission
and
contract
award
for
contractor
services
for
domestic
repiping
of
the
new
continental
okay.
So
the
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
presentation:
it
is
the
capital
plan
implementation
update.
Does
any
member
wish
to
declare
a
conflict
of
interest
on
this
item
not
seen
any
so?
A
E
We
regularly
report
to
Council
on
financial
aspects
of
the
plan,
but
today's
presentation
is
going
to
focus
on
the
immense
breath
breadth
of
capital
work
that
our
staff
are
currently
delivering
across
the
organization,
so
I'm
just
going
to
do
a
little
bit
of
an
introduction,
a
summary
of
the
capital
plan
as
a
refresher
and
then
I'll
pass
it
on
to
my
fellow
general
managers
to
provide
you
with
a
more
in-depth
summary
of
the
exciting
work.
That's
happening
in
their
departments.
E
The
city
of
Vancouver
owns
more
than
34
billion
dollars
in
infrastructure
and
amenities
across
a
wide
spectrum
of
areas
as
depicted
in
the
slide,
and
these
include
Water
and
Sewer
infrastructure,
roadways
walkways
Greenways
and
bikeways,
affordable
housing,
community
facilities,
parks
and
open
spaces
and,
of
course,
Fire
Halls
police
stations
and
service
yards.
So
we've
spoken
previously
about
the
challenges
in
delivering
our
Capital
plan.
E
Within
the
current
economic
and
social
landscape,
but
today
really
we're
going
to
highlight
on
that
to
despite
those
challenges,
we
are
continuing
to
deliver
on
the
capital
plan,
we're
working
on
optimizing,
our
processes,
re-prioritizing
our
financial
capacity
and
on
augmenting
delivery
through
external
capacity.
In
order
to
deliver
the
plan.
E
Current
plan
is
a
3.5
billion
dollars
in
strategic
long-term
in
infrastructure
Investments
to
continue
to
enhance
livability
sustainability
and
resilience
of
our
city.
Now,
over
successive
plans,
we've
made
significant
investments
in
renewing
our
aging
infrastructure,
expanding
them
and
building
new
amenities
to
accommodate
our
growing
communities
and
adjusting
our
services
approach
to
reflect
the
increase
in
complexity
of
delivering
our
infrastructure
programs,
Services,
Public,
Safety
and
emergency
response,
serving
both
the
city
and
many
cases,
the
Metro
region.
F
Good
morning,
mayor
council,
London
LeClaire
general
manager
of
Engineering
Services,
as
Patrice
mentioned,
we're
just
going
to
give
you
a
bit
of
a
tour
of
some
of
the
the
big
projects
that
we
have
underway
in
the
city.
First
of
all,
I
just
want
to
talk
about
our
streets
and
sidewalks
and
bridges.
These
are
some
of
the
hardest
working
Assets
in
the
city
and
as
the
city
grows
and
the
region
grows
continues
to
grow
quite
dramatically.
F
Actually,
all
the
same
streets
do
need
to
move
more
and
more
people
and
goods
each
year
through
this
plan
we're
investing
over
50
million
in
real,
rehabilitating
and
repairing
47
kilometers
of
local
arterial,
major
and
major
roads.
And,
of
course,
as
we
learned
through
kovid,
the
streets
have
been
used
for
a
lot
of
other
purposes,
other
than
transportation
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
for
our
residents.
F
Last
year,
we
actually
built
close
to
300
new,
curb
ramps,
making
the
city
more
accessible,
and
this
plan
we'll
be
building.
Another
400
curb
wraps,
curb
wraps
often
combined
with
curb
bulges
to
narrow,
The
Crossing
distance,
but
also
allow
for
us
to
introduce
green
infrastructure
and
treat
rain
water
thanks
to
the
capital
plan.
We're
also
going
to
be
replacing
44,
000
old
energy,
inefficient,
roadway
lights
with
LED
lighting.
F
This
actually
reduces
light.
Pollution
will
actually
save
up
to
70
percent
on
our
energy
costs,
and
the
other
really
amazing
benefit
is
that
it
actually
improves
safety
because
of
the
quality
of
the
light,
and
so
this
this
change
actually
will
come
to
every
single
Street
and
every
single
neighborhood
across
the
entire
city.
F
Again
during
pot
during
covid
pop-up
plazas,
we're
in
in
implemented
quite
quickly
and
broadly
across
the
entire
city.
We
now
have
24
of
them,
and
many
of
these
places
we
would
say,
are
here
to
stay
and
so
they'll
be
going
through
upgrades
a
few
areas
of
focus
for
this
Capital
plan.
We
will
be
implementing
two
new
Plaza
Pilots,
one
at
Fraser
and
48th,
one
at
dunsmere
at
end.
F
F
Foreign,
we
recently
completed
the
Richard
Green
Street
project,
which
was
a
14
million
dollar
1.5
kilometer
protected
bike
lane,
but
it
was
also
the
largest
installation
of
green
rain
water
infrastructure
that
we've
built
in
the
city,
creating
the
the
first
real,
large-scale
blue-green
Network.
These
nature-based
Solutions
treat
15
million
liters
of
of
rainwater
and
divert
11
million
liters
of
rainwater
from
from
our
pipe
system.
F
We
had
about
19
million
from
the
last
Capital
plan
this
this
Capital
plan
it's
about
45
million.
This
includes
critical
structural
work,
which
is
taking
place
under
the
road
deck,
but
also
in
includes
the
a
conversion
of
two
traffic
Lanes
on
the
bridge
surface
for
use
for
walking,
rolling
and
cycling.
This
will
make
the
the
bridge
usable
for
everyone,
but
also
create
a
key
link
from
the
Northern
end
of
the
Arbutus
Greenway
and
Via.
F
A
new
Bikeway
on
Drake
Street
make
simple
connections
to
the
Richard
and
Richards
and
Hornby
bike
separated
bike
lanes
and
the
connection
down
to
the
the
sea
wall.
Also,
a
key
part
of
this
is
the
removal,
as
you
can
see
in
this
picture,
the
removal
of
the
loops,
so
those
Loops
are
being
replaced
by
a
grid.
Road
Network,
which
does
two
things.
F
Thank
you,
and
one
of
our
most
ambitious
projects
is
the
Portside
Greenway.
So
we've
just
completed
our
first
phase
of
three
rounds
of
Engagement.
Our
real
focus
of
this
project
is
that
dotted
section
which
is
a
real
Gap
in
the
network,
so
the
input
that
we've
received
from
this
first
round
of
consultation
will
be
will
help
shape
our
Design
Concepts
and
those
will
be
shared
in
the
next
round
of
Engagement.
Later
this
year,.
F
F
Now
we
all
pay
attention
to
the
surface
of
the
street,
but
in
fact
the
invisible
infrastructure
is
actually
our
most
expensive,
valued
at
over
11
billion
dollars.
The
water
and
sewer
infrastructure
is
hidden
from
view
under
the
streets,
but
is
incred
is
actually
critical
for
maintaining
our
community
health
and
supporting
a
growing
cup
population.
F
These
pipes
for
water
and
sewer
typically
last
about
80
to
100
years,
and
so
when
it
comes
time
to
renew
them,
we
do
that
with
a
real
focused
effort
to
accommodate
the
growth
in
the
city,
but
also
to
respond
to
the
changing
climate,
and
also
because
these
projects
tend
to
well
rip
up
the
road
in
the
process
of
replacing
these
pipes,
they
present
an
opportunity
to
actually
do
street
level
improvements.
Once
we
restore
the
street.
F
Example
of
the
well
actually,
our
biggest
projects
we're
a
new
renewal
project.
At
45
million
is
the
Hastings
Sunrise
sewer
renewal
on
grain
and
and
green
rain
water
infrastructure
project.
This
has
helped
through
funding.
We
have
15
million
dollars
through
the
federal
and
provincial
grants
that
are
helping
to
to
fund
this
project.
F
It
will
separate
4.5
kilometers
of
combined
sewer
and
combined
sewers
and
replace
it
with
separated
sewers
and
add
15
new
ring
Greenway
water
infrastructure,
prod
assets,
this
Project's
actually
quite
critical
to
unlocking
the
area's
development
potential
and
the
first
phase
of
the
project
near
Matthew,
begby
Elementary
was
completed
this
spring.
The
second
phase,
Crossing
First
Avenue,
was
just
complete
at
the
end
of
July
and
the
third
phase
will
be
starting
this
winter.
F
Our
crews
did
an
incredible
job
of
actually
doing
one
completing
one
of
the
most
complex
sections,
which
was
the
crossing
of
First
Avenue
that
that
pipe
had
to
be
installed
below
gas
pipelines,
Hydro
ducks
and
pressurized
water
pipes,
while
maintaining
safe
traffic
flow
on
First
Avenue,
yeah,
St,
George
rainway.
This
is
a
3.6.3
million
dollar
award-running
four
block
project.
F
This
is
another
one
where
we're
receiving
partner
funding
over
half
of
the
cost
of
this
comes
through
the
18.9
million
Federal
grant
that
we
got
for
the
Rain
City
strategy
in
its
final
design.
It
will
filter
10,
000
square
meters
of
polluted
rainwater
runoff,
which
is
the
equivalent
of
four
Olympic-sized
swimming
pools
per
year,
it'll
absorb
that
water
and
for
the
water
that
it
doesn't
absorb.
The
clean
it'll
it'll
allow
cleaner
water
to
flow
through
to
false
Creek.
F
In
addition,
again
for
the
changes
on
the
surface,
it
will
create
the
two,
a
two-way
local
Bikeway
from
10th
Avenue
to
Fifth
Avenue,
seating,
Street
lighting
and
more
accessible
sidewalks
again.
This
is
another
example
of
sometimes
the
projects
that
are
triggered
by
engineering
needs
needs
do
deliver
benefits
in
growing
communities.
F
Now,
on
to
and
in
the
sewer
system,
actually
there's
a
lot
of
waste
heat.
You
know
when
you
have
a
shower
in
the
morning
or
do
your
dishes
or
your
laundry
that
warm
water
ends
up
in
our
sewer
system,
and
so
this
vast
amount
of
waste
heat-
that's
in
our
sewer
system,
is
harnessed
by
our
neighborhood
energy
utility.
So
this
extracts
the
waste
heat
from
our
sewer
and
it
actually
pumps
it
back
to
buildings
in
Falls,
Creek
and
recognizing
that
buildings
account
for
57
percent
of
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
F
It's
a
it's
a
real
Cornerstone
of
our
efforts
to
decarbonize
our
buildings.
Currently,
the
neighborhood
energy
utility
supplies,
low
carbon
energy
to
44
buildings
or
or
6.7
million
square
feet
of
floor
area,
including
Science
World
and
the
Emily
Carr
university.
Through
this
Capital
plan,
we
will
look
to
Triple
the
ability
to
recover
and
regenerate
Heat.
F
F
Another
really
big
project
that
we
did
on
the
on
the
water
side
was
the
hero
Butte
project,
this
project
involving
involved,
constructing
the
largest
water
main
we've
ever
built
in
the
city
of
Vancouver,
a
19
million
dollar
investment
with
new
high
capacity
systems.
Basically,
this
pipe
will
send
water
to
every
single
faucet
in
downtown
for
the
next
100
years
and
as
with
many
of
these
underground
projects
again,
this
triggered
several
level
several
street
level
upgrades
with
an
eye
to
improving
the
neighborhood
these
along
Harrow.
F
And
finally,
access
to
water,
not
one
of
our
bigger
projects
at
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year.
It's
a
rather
small
project,
but
it
is
fulfilling
a
major
need
across
the
city.
Really,
our
stance
on
drinking
fountains
and
water
assets
have
shifted
shifted
over
the
last
decade,
from
a
nice
to
have
to
critical
infrastructure,
supporting
health
and
safety
during
extreme
heat
events.
G
Accs,
along
with
along
with
departments
like
rafm
and
planning
and
in
partnership
with
senior
government,
are
enabling
the
right
the
right
supply
of
housing
through
strategic
Capital
Investments
across
the
housing
Continuum.
This
allows
us
to
provide
a
variety
of
options
to
support
everyone
from
those
experiencing
homelessness
to
young
families
trying
to
enter
the
housing
market.
For
the
first
time.
The
city's
four-year
Capital
plan
includes
an
allocation
of
over
600
million
to
create
and
preserve
affordable
housing.
G
A
great
example
of
intergovernmental
and
non-profit
collaboration
when
it
comes
to
Supportive
Housing
is
50
80s
tastings,
alongside
Partners
like
Vancouver
Chinatown,
Foundation,
BC,
housing,
cmhc
and
Vancouver
Coastal
Health.
We're
excited
about
this
Innovative
social
housing
project
in
the
downtown
east
side
that
will
provide
231
new
homes
with
Integrated
Health
support
for
the
entire
Community.
The
city
is
providing
the
land
as
a
partner
for
the
project.
It
will
offer
120
Homes
at
the
provincial
shelter
rate
and
110
Homes
at
housing.
G
Income
limits
providing
much
needed,
affordable
housing
options
in
the
downtown
east
side
and
it's
expected
to
be
completed
by
2024..
A
few
other
important
projects
being
delivered
with
our
partners
include
a
seniors
building
at
3510
Frazier,
the
Vienna
house
project
on
stainsbury
and
the
recently
completed
Supportive
Housing
project
at
162,
Maine,
to
name
just
a
few,
but
we're
not
just
building
affordable
housing
options.
G
We're
also
building
communities
to
ensure
people
want
to
stay,
live
and
play
in
Vancouver
and
are
supported
to
be
here,
especially
Equity
denied
groups
by
delivering,
both
of
so
both
social
services
and
housing
on
site.
Through
co-location,
we
maximize
the
use
of
limited
city
land
to
deliver
multiple
benefits
to
community.
G
For
example,
the
recently
opened
Evelyn
Cellar
Community
Center
in
rodden
Lodge
is
a
great
example
of
where
housing
intersects
with
Supportive
Services
Evelyn

provides
important,
Health
and
Social
Support
Services
create
including
indoor
drop-in
space,
low-cost
meals
shower
and
laundry
as
well
as
social
programming
for
thousands
of
low-income
adults.
Just
above
Alvin
and
solar
rod
and
Lodge
provides
213
homes.
G
More
than
two-thirds
of
the
homes
are
rented
at
the
provincial
shelter
rate,
providing
deeply
affordable
housing
for
over
140
residents,
and
likewise
Council
recently
approved
a
nominal
lease
for
Community,
who
will
be
building
an
lgbtq,
ia2s
plus
Community
Hub,
forming
part
of
a
17-story
mixed-use
building,
which
will
also
include
154
social
housing
units
with
completion
planned
for
2025.
This
project
at
981
Davey
will
provide
not
only
homes
but
culturally
Safe,
Gathering,
space
workshops,
counseling
and
educational
events.
G
Building
communities
also
means
we're
investing
Capital
dollars
to
create
cultural
spaces
to
enhance
the
city's
livability
and
vibrancy.
A
great
example
of
this
is
187
East
3rd
in
Mount
Pleasant.
This
space
is
providing
30,
affordable
homes
for
artists
and
a
shared
4
000
square
foot
production
space
for
local
artists
and
their
families.
G
All
the
neighborhood
houses
do
as
all
neighborhood
houses
do
Cedar
Cottage,
helps
build
community
and
a
sense
of
belonging
for
those
who
call
this
neighborhood
home.
Our
significant
Capital
Grant
is
a
substantial
contribution
toward
the
creation
of
a
new
37
licensed
child
care
facility
for
children,
ages,
zero
to
four
and
fifteen
thousand
square
feet
of
this
important
social
serving
space
along
with
housing
and
child
care.
Through
this
Capital
plan,
the
city
is
also
improving:
Equitable
access
to
Quality,
Child
Care
by
supporting
renewal
and
new
child
care
infrastructure.
G
Affordable
child
care,
as
you
know,
is
vital
to
the
economy
and
is
critical
in
enabling
families
with
young
children
to
stay
in
Vancouver.
Overall,
through
this
plan's
136
million
Child
Care
allocation,
we
anticipate
creating
660
full-time
spaces,
20
new
part-time
part
day
spaces
and
60
new
school-age
spaces,
with
the
school
age
focus
on
indigenous-led
Child
Care
programs,
like
all
like
across
other
areas,
the
capital
plan.
We
look
to
Partnerships
to
extend
our
capacity
and
reach
our
partnership
with
vsb,
for
example,
to
deploy
Child
Care
on
replacement.
G
Schools
is
a
great
example
scheduled
for
completion
in
2025
Henry
Hudson
Elementary
will
be
a
seismically
replaced
school
that
will
also
offer
65
Child
Care
spaces,
as
well
as
a
30
space
multi-purpose
room
for
use
by
child
care.
We
also
have
another
great
co-location
of
child
care
with
other
Civic
services
in
Cold
Harbor,
which
will
be
completed
by
2024
and
our
Deputy
city
manager.
Armin
armorlia
will
speak
about
that
later.
G
H
This
year,
we've
put
accessibility
at
the
Forefront
of
space
design
in
this
new
Branch
with
high
contrast,
signage
room
to
move
around
and
accessible
technology,
including
including
an
accessible
computer
station.
In
addition
to
regular
computers
and
beginning
next
year
at
Central
Library,
we
will
be
undertaking
a
total
revitalization
of
the
children's
Library,
supported
by
rafm.
H
understanding
of
the
way
that
children
learn
and
the
presence
of
families
downtown
have
both
changed
profoundly
in
the
last
25
years,
and
this
project
will
address
significant
gaps
and
create
new
opportunities
for
learning
and
connection
for
families
and
children.
We'll
be
introducing
interactive
play
elements
into
the
space
Guided
by
research
and
early
learning,
such
as
an
elevated
Treehouse,
inspired
space,
dedicated
program
space
in
the
children's
library
and
spaces
designed
to
support
early
learning
for
ages
zero
to
five,
and
this
will
build
on
learning
from
our
new
children's
spaces
that
opened
at
Britannia
and
Renfrew
branches.
H
I'll
now
speak
to
the
Oak
Ridge
Library,
the
Oak
Ridge
Library
will
be
a
regional
Hub
part
of
the
Civic
Center
that
will
be
opening
in
2024
and
it
will
offer
robust
collections,
recording
studios
instrument,
lending
a
community
program,
room
and
bookable
meeting
room.
So
it'll
really
be
a
hub
for
Library
service
outside
of
downtown.
It
will
also
be
more
accessible,
incorporating
Universal
Design
principles,
including
inclusive
multi-stall,
all-gender,
washrooms
and
accessible
technology.
H
The
new
Oak

Library
will
have
an
early
learning
space
for
ages,
zero
to

to
encourage
learning
through

Scott
Jensen,
who
has
joined
us
in
the
audience
this

It's
a
pleasure
to
share
highlights
of
our
work.
Our
team
is
passionate
and
proud
of
what
we
do
and
who
we
serve,

is
equally
passionate
about
their
love
of
what

adapt
our
strategies
and
policies
to
account
for

change.
To
ensure
these
much
love
spaces
are
available
for
generations
to
come.
I'll
share

I
can
tell

coming
into
Canada
the
community
centers
that
I
was
working
and
living
close
to
where
the
lifeline
of
our
family,
so
on
all

we
strive
to
include

management,
capturing
and
treating
90
percent
of
annual
rainfall
on
public

private
land
working
with
all
City
departments.
So
we
can
respond
to
the
growing
needs
of
community
and
to
take
action
on
developing
the
most
resilient
City
amenities
that
are
sustainable.

It's
an
exciting
renewal
to
support
more
access

the

will
also
see
an
interesting
environmental

we're
going

and
we

J
And
so
now,
from
large
and
mighty
projects
to
the
small,
but
equally
Mighty
we
install
the
largest
heat
pump
in
our
portfolio
in
the
bloodell
conservatory.
The
heat
pump
uses
clean
hydro
electricity
instead
of
natural
gas
heat
and
cool
the
dome's
interior
and
cutting
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
90
percent.
J
This
is
significant,
as
it
reduces
the
heating
and
cooling
costs
by
40
percent
per
year,
verified,
thereby
justifying
the
capital
expense
of
the
new
heat
pump
in
recognition
of
the
work
from
the
city,
The
Province
awarded
the
conservatory
BC

First
clean

Champion
award
early
this
spring
and
thanks
to
council
Carr
for
accepting
the
award
for
us.
J
J
This
retrofit
is
being
carried
out
while
the
fire
hall
is
in
operation
to
ensure
that
Community
responses
are
being
met.
It's
complex
work
for
a
very
small
budget.
A
complex
structural
seismic
upgrade
carried
out
from
the
exterior
a
new
roof,
upgrade
replacing
underground
fuel
tank
with
an
above
grade
fuel
tank,
which
has
an
end
of
service
oil,
inceptor,
replacing
overhead
doors
and
a
host
of
other
amenities
for
the
folks
that
work
and
live
there
or
have
residents
there
budget
again
about
six
million
dollars.
Current
completion
date,
Q4
2023.
J
A
K
K
F
Yeah
I
don't
know
that
the
timing
is
of
concern.
I,
think
that
we
can
incorporate
that
work
at
a
future
date
or
or
I
think
that
that
that
wouldn't
create
a
problem.
What
we'd
be
looking
for
is
a
partner
to
fund
it,
so
the
work
that's
underway
on
the
bridge
right
now,
which
is
significant,
both
structural
and
Transportation.
F
F
At
this
point,
because
the
work
is
underway
right
now
and
the
contract
is
let
I
would
say
that
it
would
be
done
after
the
it's
for
us
to
perform
the
work,
we're
not
quite
sure
what
it
looks
like,
because
we
don't
have
a
design
or
a
solution.
I
mean
a
very
simple
addition
could
be
something
pretty
straightforward
or
it
could
be
very
complex
if
it
involves
a
complete
replacement
of
the
railing.
K
Okay,
maybe
I'll
ask
the
second
half
of
that
question
related
to
the
growing
communities
fund
and
if
the
timing
could
fit
with
the
requirements
of
that
fund,
so
I'll
save
the
rest
of
that
for
later
this
morning,
thanks
on
I'm
also
curious
on
the
community
building
downtown
I
think
this
is
a
question
for
for
accs.
I
have
heard
that
there's
a
bit
of
a
funding
gap
on
that
Project
Specific.
You
know
similar
to
the
gaps
we're
seeing
everywhere
with
Rising
costs
and
interest
rates.
G
G
J
You
for
the
question
we
actually
have:
we've
got
mitigation
for
The
Gap,
we're
aware
of
the
Gap,
and
our
teams
are
working
on
the
mitigation
which
we've
actually
got
a
number
for
now,
so
I
I
think
we're
actually,
okay
on
that
I
can
recheck
for,
for
you,
but
I'm
quite
sure,
we're
okay
on
that.
Okay,
okay,
you're
welcome.
K
H
K
E
Maybe
I
can
take
that
one.
Certainly,
the
last
few
years
have
been
very
new
to
us
as
far
as
the
level
of
escalation
cost
escalation,
and
we
are
working
with
the
teams
now
as
we
as
we're
starting
to
work
towards
the
2024
budget
to
look
at
Cost
escalation
and
how
that
has
impacted
some
of
our
projects.
So
at
this
point
it's
a
combination
of
allocating
some
of
our.
E
You
know,
funding
that
we've
set
aside
for
cost
escalation,
which
we
do
as
part
of
our
plan,
but
it's
not
enough
to
cover
everything
so
it'll
be
a
mix
of
possibly
deferring
some
projects,
reducing
some
scope.
Looking
at
how
we
can
you
know
in
other
ways
reduce
costs
and
then
allocating
what
we
have
in
the
way
of
of
a
funding
set
aside
for
escalation
and
in
some
of
our
programs,
it
might
just
mean
spreading
out
the
the
work
over
a
longer
period
of
time.
So
we
are.
E
A
M
M
So
if
you
go
to
vancouver.c
capital
projects,
that
will
be
the
space
where
you'll
have
both
the
visuals,
because
some
of
the
b-roll
you
saw
as
well
as
the
commentary
and
color
with
the
different
numbers
fact
stats
that
you've
seen
so
people
can
learn
more
about
that,
bolstered
by
a
social
campaign
to
kind
of
show
and
share
those
stories
online.
So
you'll
see
reflected
a
lot
of
what
you
heard
today
in
the
GM's
notes
across
our
channels,
amazing,
and
is
that
ready
now
or
without
vancouver.ca
Capital
project?
It's
live.
L
Thank
you
I
super
appreciate
that
the
next
question
that
I
had
is
really
I'm
wondering
if
it
could
zero
in
a
couple
questions
and
it's
around
investment
in
South
Vancouver.
That's
something
that
this
Council
has
chatted
about,
and
so
I
didn't
see
a
lot
of
references
to.
Obviously
the
Marple
project
for
the
community
center
has
been
ongoing
for
a
long
time.
It's
important
one
but
I
didn't
see
commentary
around
turf
fields,
for
example
repair
of
Memorial
Pond.
Looking
at
Steve
I,
don't
know
if
you
want
to
comment
on
that.
I
Yeah,
thank
you
for
the
question,
so
we've
heard
obviously
loud
and
clear
from
Council
the
interest
in
in
South
Vancouver.
So
we
are
already
engaging
with
that
Community
now
in
regards
to
amenities
that
that
neighborhood
is
interested
in
within
the
parks
and
Open
Spaces,
realm,
obviously
open
to
any
other
further
direction
that
Council
or
our
board
has
on
that.
But
it
is
a
area
in
the
city
that
we
are
focused
on
South
Memorial
Pond.
I
G
L
Okay,
amazing
thanks.
My
next
question
is
really
around
Beach
Avenue
lots
of
conversation
from
the
public
who
really
love
the
open
space.
Some
people
are
still
concerned
that
there's
it's
backed
up
with
park
access,
I'm
wondering
if
there's
been
any
thought
with
restoring
two-way
access,
but
the
potential
to
also
add
a
bike
lane
in
there.
If
that's
something
that
can
be
done
in
the
interim,
if
that
ties
into
the
Waterfront
planning,
but
what
I'm
hearing
is
that
people
are
loving
the
opportunity
of
additional
bikes,
but
we
also
have
a
huge
backup
and
people
are
saying.
L
F
Yeah,
so
just
a
quick
mention
that
we
are
working
on
the
West,
End,
Waterfront
parks
and
master
plan,
and
so
we
are
hoping
one
day
as
we
start
to
transition
to
more
permanent
infrastructure
that
that
would
be
compliant
with
whatever
we
adopt
as
part
of
that
master
plan.
But
in
the
in
the
interim
we
can
easily
adjust
the
way
we
have
traffic
operating
out
there
right
now,
and
so
that
has
been
triggered
by
the
changes
that
the
park
board
has
made
in
the
park
and
related
to
Park
Drive,
and
we
have
looked
at
right
now.
F
It
operates
one
way
between
Denman
and
the
park.
We
looked
at
switching
the
direction
to
the
other
way
or
making
it
two-way,
and
we
can
do
those
types
of
changes
in
an
interim
fashion
so
that
they
can
be
done
temporarily
and
then
again
transformed
into
the
permanent
after
the
master
plan
is
adopted.
If.
F
Well,
the
the
an
easy
way
for
us
to
make
it
two-way
is
to
actually
put
because
there
is
a
separated
bike
path
in
that
sort
of
stretch,
which
is
right
next
to
the
sidewalk
and
between
the
trees
and
the
sidewalk.
That
was,
of
course,
made
available
to
additional
people
walking
when
people
are
directed
to
cycle
on
the
street,
we
could
put
them
back
on
that
path.
We
have
some
concerns
with
the
volumes
of
cycling
now,
so
certainly
with
respect
to
the
width
of
the
path.
N
Thanks
chair
and
thanks
for
the
presentation
and
the
update,
I
just
want
to
Circle
back
on
a
couple
of
items
that
were
flagged
around
the
the
reference
to
the
sewage
and
Sewer
separation
upgrades
that
have
been
undertaken.
You
gave
the
example
of
Hastings
sunrise
and
how
that
will
support
added
density
and
capacity.
Could
you
comment
on
the
status
of
work
around
the
Nimo
station?
N
F
Yeah,
so
Nanaimo
station
is
an
area
that
we
continue
to
look
at
what
the
solutions
might
be.
It
is
a
it
is
a
rather
large
problem
for
our
sewer
system
there,
because
it
is
very
close
to
capacity,
and
we
already
experience
issues
related
to
that
in
that
neighborhood.
So
adding
more
housing
in
that
area
is
isn't,
isn't
concern.
F
What
we're
learning
with
all
of
the
green
infrastructure
projects
is
the
more
that
we
can
divert
rainfall
out
of
our
pipe
system.
We
actually
can
accommodate
more
growth
that
way
so
with
nearby
trout,
lake
and
park
assets.
If
we
were
to
come
up
with
Solutions,
where
we
could
divert
and
again
we're
talking
about
very
intense
rainfall
as
a
result
of
climate
change,
which
is
actually
a
big
trigger
for
us
and
getting
worse
by
the
years.
N
I
appreciate
that
can
I
just
ask
one
follow-up
question
on
that
topic
is:
there
is
just
to
clarify
it's
not
contemplated
in
the
current
capital
plan.
It
would
need
to
be
addressed
in
the
next
either.
The
current
capital
plan
would
need
to
be
amended
or
it
would
need
to
be
addressed
in
the
new,
four-year
Capital
plan
that
will
undertake
this
term.
That's.
F
N
Okay,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
verification
I
want
to
Circle
back
on
the
a
couple
of
quite
a
few
items.
The
new
plazas
they've
been
quite
successful
and
I.
Think
I
noted
the
addition
of
new
two
new
plazas
one
of
the
I
think
we've
received
some
correspondence
from
residents
around
Fraser
and
48th
and
expressing
concern
about
how
do
we
engage
and
let
the
neighborhood
know
we're
contemplating
a
plaza
and
that
we
might
be
closing
up
a
street
and
I'm
just
curious.
F
F
You
know
it's
a
different
approach.
What
we
used
to
do
pre-pandemic
was
we
used
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
Consulting
and
trying
to
anticipate
all
the
potential
issues
and
changes
and
challenges,
and
that
would
take
often
years
of
process.
During
the
pandemic
we
took
a
different
approach,
was
was
to
implement
and
put
up
a
sign
says.
F
Many
many
many
many
many
times
the
kind
of
Road
space
reallocation
that
we
would
have
done
in
the
past
with
a
more
kind
of
careful
consolid
consultative
process.
It's
not
to
say
that
we
don't
consult.
We
Consulting
in
particular
Consulting
with
everyone
who
experiences
any
effect
of
it,
because
the
access
to
us
is
very
clear
on
the
information
signs
at
the
installation.
N
While
you're
there,
these
last
30
seconds,
could
you
comment
on
and
I'll
come
back
on?
Is
the
port
side
Greenway
and
considerations
around
if
there
is
a
need
to
deal
with
that
that
Gap,
but
also
it's
in
a
significant
route
for
moving
Goods
through
the
city,
and
it
also
continue
to
be
a
commuter
route
and
what
are
staff
thinking
early
thinking
about
how
to
accommodate
all
those
needs.
F
We
the
reason
it's
a
gap
right
now
is
because
it's
a
huge
challenge.
If
it
was
easy,
we
would
have
implemented
a
solution
already.
We
will
work
hard
to
figure
out
what
that
is
and
I.
Don't
think
it's
going
to
be
an
easy
solution,
but
we
will.
We
will
come
we'll
very
much,
there's
no
there's
no
interest
in
diverting
any
of
the
port
traffic
or
anything
like
that.
So
we
need
to
keep
that
street
functioning
for
the
Ontario
traffic.
O
Thanks
chair
and
I
just
want
to
Echo
councilor
Kirby
Young's
Commendation
for
the
presentation.
It
was
an
excellent,
very
thorough
and
very
focused
appreciate
that
so
first
question
picture
Patrice,
MP
and
I'm
wondering
if
we've
seen
an
increase
in
the
contributions
from
the
federal
and
provincial
governments
towards
our
capital
budget.
And
if
so,
are
you
seeing
emerging
priorities
for
the
capital
investment
from
the
from
the
senior
governments.
E
Just
on
the
first
question
is:
yes,
we
have
seen
from
all
levels
of
government
a
more
interest
in
more
funds
in
some
cases.
One
time
like
we'll
talk
about
the
growing
communities
fund
and,
in
other
cases,
looking
for
a
programmatical
funding
options
for
municipalities
and
what
we
can
do
is
report
back,
maybe
on
our
progress,
which
we've
done
from
time
to
time
with
Council.
That's
probably
the
easiest
way
for
you
to
sort
of
see
the
different
funds,
and
can
you
be
your
the.
O
E
Yeah
I
can
probably
get
back
to
you
on
that
or
talk
to
the
team
a
bit,
but
definitely
you
know
this
idea
of
supporting
infrastructure
within
municipalities
getting
much
more
attention.
It's
also,
you
know
through
fcm
sort
of
that
lobbying
with
the
federal
government
and
and
ubcm,
so
that
the
whole
focus
on
infrastructure
funding
has
taken
a
significant
increase
and
then,
of
course,
housing
which
we
know
through
the
housing
accelerator
funds.
E
O
To
get
Awards
like
for
Rain
City,
yes,
the
truck's
funding
too,
and
do
we
have
any
other
possible,
feasible
sources
of
funds.
I
mean
these.
Are
our
budgets?
Are
big
the
capital
budget?
So
I'm
wondering
you,
you
know
you
did
mention
the
fcm.
Are
there
any
other
sources
outside
sources
beyond
the
senior
governments
or
fcm
that
we
are
pursuing
that
we're
seeing
maybe
emerging
as
recognizing
that
cities
are
the?
You
know,
the
sort
of
front
Leading
Edge
of
climate
change,
for
example,
impacts
and
the
need
to
seek
funding
is
pretty
big,
fantastic.
E
F
Yeah
I
would
say
the
climate
resiliency
and
disaster
mitigation
are
are
new
areas
that
we're
seeing
funding.
So
with
the
case
of
Camby
Bridge,
you
know,
there's
a
new
funding
pop
for
us
there
for
TransLink.
The
Region's
mayors,
of
course,
are
struggling
with
funding
from
a
TransLink,
but
there's
always
a
strong
commitment
to
continue
to
invest
in
the
cycling
Network
in
the
major
road
Network,
and
so
we
generally
see
those
those
funds
increasing.
They
also
have
a
100.
O
Long,
you
can
just
stay
right
there
because
of
the
next
set
of
questions
are
for
you
drinking
water,
fun
fountains.
You
know
I
hear
about
this.
All
the
time.
I
think
all
of
us
on
Council
do
so.
You
focused
on
the
downtown
east
side,
which
is
I,
think
The
Logical
priority.
Is
there
a
plan
to
expand
drinking
water,
found
mountains
Citywide.
F
Yes,
that's
that's
the
piece
of
work
that
we're
doing
right
now
is
looking
at
the
the
city-wide
kind
of
where
the
gaps
are
in
in
the
network,
and
so
we
do
have
a
budget
for
the
depending
on
the
locations.
We
select
the
20
to
30
assets
that
we're
looking
to
deploy
and
we
are
looking
not
just
on
the
downtown
east
side,
but
Citywide.
Q
F
Yeah,
so
right
now,
the
way
this
system
works
is
the
base
load
is
covered
by
the
the
heat
that
we're
recovering
from
the
sewer
system.
But
we
do
have
Peak
demands
which
occur
on
the
very
coldest
days
of
the
year
and
to
respond
to
the
heat
demands
and
those
we
have
I
got
a
gas-fired
boiler,
so
it's
natural
gas,
the
Heat
or
the
gas
methane
gas
recovery
at
our
landfill
is
increasing
supply
of
renewable
natural
gas.
F
O
R
Thanks
chair
lawn,
don't
get
too
comfortable
thanks
for
the
presentation,
everybody
yeah
there's
some
great
great
projects
on
the
horizon.
I
just
wanted
to
maybe
just
clarify
some
of
the
questions
that
counselor
Kirby
young
was
talking
about
with
the
beach
Avenue
bike
lane
and
the
one-way
two-way
configuration.
R
I've
asked
a
few
questions
in
the
past
and
I'm,
just
I
think
maybe
I'm
either
I'm
confused
or
we're
talking
about
two
separate
things.
So
the
beach
Avenue
portion
between
the
park
and
Morton
and
Morton
is
still
a
two-way
street
correct
to
sort
of
separate
that
from
the
rest
of
each
Avenue,
from
Denman
to
the
barrard
bridge.
Just
those
two
two
blocks
from
the
park
to
Morton.
How?
R
F
The
first
thing
that
we
were
planning
to
do
was
at
the
the
next
month,
was
to
convert
the
existing
traffic
operations
from
one
way
westbound
to
One
Way
eastbound,
and
so
this
would
allow
another
route
out
of
the
park,
of
course,
allow
the
tour
buses
to
use
that
if
they
choose
to
use
it
and
it
based
on
what
we've
been
hearing
from
concerns
around
access
and
circulation
in
the
park.
That's
of
interest
to
them.
So
that's
an
easy
one
for
us
to
trial,
because
it
is
mostly
a
signage
change.
F
R
And
what
sort
of
conversations
have
you
had
with
businesses
and
residents?
I
know
I've
had
some
emails
about
issues
with
access
for
residents,
access
to
businesses,
businesses
being
able
to
for
deliveries
servicing
I
actually
had
a
meeting
in
there
that
sort
of
area,
not
that
long
ago,
found
myself
into
the
park
all
of
a
sudden
and
I'm
actually
pretty
familiar
with
the
city,
but
found
myself
just
driving
having
to
drive
through
Stanley
Park
to
kind
of
get
to
where
I
needed
to
go.
F
Well,
we
continue
to
receive
all
and
any
feedback
from
everyone
on
this
project
and
the
the
decision
to
change
is
one
that
we're
kind
of
open
to
in
terms
of
like
what
works
better.
At
this
point,
what
we've
been
hearing
is
there's
interest
in
switching
the
kind
of
the
one-way
operation
and
that's
an
easy
thing
for
us.
I'm.
R
F
And
actually
I
mean
this
is
potentially
one
that
if
mayor
and
Council
are
more
interested
in
it,
we
can
spend
more
time
on
it
because
there's
a
number
of
options
there,
which
are
you
know,
there's
some
winners
and
losers
in
each
of
these,
and-
and
you
know,
there's
no
particularly
right
answer.
Yeah
thank.
S
Yeah
thanks
chair
yeah,
thanks
for
the
presentation
and
thanks
for
all
the
works
behind
the
presentation
is
even
more
Works
after
we
hand
out
okay.
My
question
is
those
projects.
They
are
very
expensive
project,
so
have
we
thought
about
other
funding
models
like,
for
instance,
the
provincial
government
and
the
federal
government?
They
are
using
more
the
public
private
partnership,
the
P3
model.
Have
we
thought
about
using
those
models
to
fund
those
projects.
F
Yes,
with
with
some
of
the
funding
that
we're
receiving
from
senior
governments
there's
expectations
that
that's
incremental
to
our
normal
work,
so
their
expectation
is
that
we
would
say,
in
the
case
of
Hasting
Sunrise
sewer
separation
that
advances
our
work
on
it.
Not
just
you
know,
offsets
funding
that
we
would
expect
to
use
on
it.
So
the
only
way
we
can
achieve
that
is
through
Contracting
out
or
other
delivery
methods,
because
our
staff
are
fully
booked
for
the
period
And.
F
So
with
that
particular
project,
all
the
work
is
contracted
out,
except
for
the
pieces
that
we
know
are
better
delivered
by
our
crew.
Like
I
mentioned
Crossing,
First
Avenue,
that's
a
very
complex
piece.
We
want
to
be
very
able
to
change
our
approach.
You
know
if
something's
starting
to
go
wrong
without
change,
orders
and
con
and
then
creating
extra
costs,
and
things
like
that.
So
that's
a
component
of
that
work
that
we'll
keep
to
ourselves,
because
we
we
expect
that
we
can
manage
costs
better
but
yeah.
S
E
E
The
other
piece
is
even
in
there
is
like
infrastructure
Canada
often
what
the
third
party
is
looking
for
is
a
revenue
stream.
We
do
not
have
too
many
projects
that
have
a
revenue
stream
to
pay
that
back.
So
one
of
the
areas
that
we
really
focused
a
lot
on.
You
know
on
mentioned
that,
as
far
as
Outsourcing
is
really
looking
through
our
our
supply
chain,
our
procurement
strategies
as
well
to
look
at.
Is
there
a
vendor-based
broad
enough?
E
T
Thanks
very
much
Patrice
and
thanks
for
the
question
counselor,
it's
a
great
one,
just
to
add
one
additional
point:
you
know
the
city's
AAA
credit
rating
gives
us
access
to
financing
debt
financing
at
a
very
good
rate,
which
is
actually
better
than
what
we
would
be
paying
to
a
private
company
to
finance
these
things.
For
us,
okay,.
S
Yeah,
that's
really
helpful.
Thank
you.
The
other
question
is
you
know,
I
remember
when
the
PC
Children's
Hospital
was
under
Redevelopment,
so
there
are
200
000,
a
million
dollars
coming
from
the
foundation.
So
have
we
thought
about
how
you
know
probably
do
a
fundraising
from
the
communities
or
like
even
using
the
naming
rights
to
fund
those
projects
instead
of
just
from
taxpayers.
H
Just
to
speak
to
library,
capital
projects.
Well,
these
are
smaller
projects
in
the
scheme
of
the
city.
We
do
have
a
history
of
using
naming
rights
and
philanthropic
fundraising.
So
in
what
I
was
speaking
to
this
morning,
the
children's
library
revitalization
is
phase.
One
is
fully
funded
by
the
vpl
foundation.
So
that's
philanthropic
donations
through
to
the
city
through
the
library
and
the
expansion
to
levels,
eight
and
nine,
which
happened
in
2018,
was
another
strongly
philanthropically
supported
project.
So
we
do
have
a
bit
of
a
history
of
that
in
the
library
space
thanks.
G
Christina
thanks
counselor
and
in
the
social
infrastructure
and
the
culture
space
oftentimes.
The
city's
contribution
is
one
is
one
piece
of
the
of
the
larger
project
and
the
the
organizations
are
actively
doing
fundraising
to
to
supplement
that
and
bring
the
bring
the
full
budget
together
to
for
the
project.
Yeah.
E
Maybe
just
the
last
piece
that
we
said
we
actually
do
have
an
initiative
to
go
back
and
look
at
sponsorship,
naming
rights
advertising
as
part
of
our
our
multi-year
financial
plan
in
order
to
close
our
Gap,
and
so
we
will
be
reporting
back
to
Council
on
that
and
there'll
be
many
options
there
for
Council
to
consider
as
far
as
Revenue
sources,
and
that
includes
donations
as
well
for
the
customers.
Thanks.
L
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
want
to
follow
up
just
quickly
on
the
beach
Avenue
piece
just
to
be
clear
on
kind
of
a
lot
on
the
next
steps,
because
you
had
just
want
to
fully
understand
because
you
had
said
a
few
things
that
you're
looking
to
trial,
potentially
the
one-way
in
August
that
they're
you're
evaluating
a
number
of
options
that
council
could
give
some
direction.
It
could
bring
more
information
to
council.
L
So
I
just
want
to
try
to
parse
through
that
and
just
be
very
clear
about
what
is
happening
and
how
that
process
will
work.
So
will
you
be
bringing
information
back
to
council
the
options
in
the
meantime?
Would
staff
be
proceeding
with
a
one-way
or
would
that
be
part
of
Bring
It
Direction
I
just
want
to
better
understand.
What's
going
to
happen
next
yeah.
F
Giving
given
the
level
of
Interest
I
would
suggest
that
a
council
briefing
is
worthwhile
because
we
have
spent
a
considerable
time
looking
at
the
various
options
and
kind
of
scoping.
What
those
might
look
like
at
this
point,
I
would
actually
still
kind
of
suggest.
We
probably
proceed
with
the
switching
of
the
one
way
to
the
other
away,
just
as
a
as
an
opportunity
to
learn
some
more
given
that
the
opportunity
for
opportunity
for
Council
briefing
is
probably
a
ways
out
and
it
might
be
after
we
do
it.
F
But
yeah
at
this
point,
I'd
be
kind
of
open
to
I'd,
be
interested
to
have
a
council
briefing
on
it,
be
interested
to
know
if
Council
has
a
particularly
strong
feelings
or
position
on
any
one
of
those
Solutions.
At
this
point,
we're
trying
to
just
balance
the
pros
and
cons
of
each
of
them
and
kind
of
choose
the
one
that
looks
the
best.
L
See
we
had
a
similar
conversation
on
the
gravel
bridge
and
came
up
with
a
I
think
a
really
good
solution.
So
that's
helpful.
Thank
you.
My
next
question
is
also
for
Park
board
for
Steve,
and
it's
really
around
confirming
I
know
that
we've
got
the
Marple
Community
Center
in
a
way
which
is
very
exciting,
there's
and
a
lot
of
work
in
planning
the
West
end.
But
can
you
just
refresh
us?
What
is
the
next
one?
Two
three
priority:
community
centers
in
the
capital
plan
in
terms
of
sequencing
for
Renewal
and
funding,
support.
I
I
L
N
Thanks
chair
I
just
want
to
Circle
back
on
a
couple
of
questions.
One
is
a
bigger
picture.
You've
outlined
a
significant
Capital
needs
as
well
as
Investments
and
I'm
curious.
If
staff
could
just
comment
high
level
on
sort
of
key
drivers
around
the
capital,
infrastructure
needs,
as
well
as
risks,
because
I
think
when
we
look
at
these
programs,
as
part
of
our
governance
rule,
is
to
consider
the
risks
and
accuracy
staff
could
speak
to
that
in
particular,
and
and
what
are
the
key
risks
for
the
city
in
terms
of
capital.
E
E
Middle
Etc
is
not
going
to
provide
the
kind
of
funding
from
development
contributions,
and
so
that
limits
our
ability
to
provide
a
new
infrastructure
which,
in
some
cases,
we
also
combine
with
renewal
right,
and
so
we
are
very
challenged
on
the
infrastructure
side
going
forward
and
that's
a
part
of
a
lot
of
the
discussions.
We're
having
with
senior
government
as
well.
F
Maybe
I'll
just
mention
one
other
thing
about
the
like
infrastructure
issue
in
general
aging
infrastructure.
One
piece
that
is
becoming
more
and
more
helpful
for
us
is
that
we're
gaining
a
lot
more
we're
Gathering,
a
lot
more
data
and
doing
a
lot
more
analysis
and
that's
helpful
because
the
reality
is
when
I
say
a
pipe
last
80
to
100
years.
F
You
know
if
a
badly
installed
one
last
60
years
in
a
well-installed
one
might
last
150
years
and
so
the
more
knowledge
we
have
on
the
condition
of
the
assets
and
look
at
you
know:
strategies
for
Renewal.
We
can
be
more
targeted
and
I.
Think
that
that's
going
to
to
help
us
with
this
kind
of
impending
issue,
which
is
that
everything's
aging
all
at
once
everywhere.
N
Yeah
I
appreciate
that
and
I
appreciate
your
perspective
on
sort
of
having
that
better
assessment
of
the
condition
and
and
as
we've
you
know
just
had
this
discussion
recently
around
the
you
know
the
the
Metro
Vancouver
project
going
through
Stanley
Park
with
the
the
water
pipeline.
How
important
that
is
critical
I
do
want
to
ask
in
that
vein.
N
How
can
we
collectively
counselor
with
staff
Advance
a
stronger
advocacy
strategy
with
the
provincial
and
Federal
Federal
governments?
It's
been
a
subject
of
fcm.
Recently,
it's
it's
Community,
small
and
large
are
struggling
with
the
ability
to
keep
up
with
infrastructure,
Investments
and
I
know
it'll
be
a
topic
at
UB
stamps.
I'm
curious.
If
you
have
some
thoughts
on
how
we
can
maybe
strengthen
our
advocacy
approach
and.
E
We
do
work
very
much
with
our
intergovernmental
relations
team
here
at
the
city
on
that.
Both
you
know
across
all
of
the
different
levels
of
government.
So
certainly
as
I
mentioned,
fcm
has
a
motion
on
infrastructure
funding
with
ubcm.
There
was
as
the
ongoing
program
around
Financial
resiliency,
which
I
think
more
advocacy
could
happen.
There
I
think
we're
not
seeing
the
kind
of
results
from
that
that
we
would
have
hoped
in
getting
that
attention.
E
T
T
So,
as
the
federal
government
says,
immigration
targets
and
as
the
provincial
government
sets
expectations
for
housing
Supply,
those
things
are
going
to
have
huge
implications
for
infrastructure,
not
only
our
infrastructure
but
Metro
infrastructure,
trans-link
infrastructure,
as
well
as
provincial
infrastructure
like
schools
and
hospitals.
The
full
costing
of
that
is
is
not
really
recognized,
I
think
at
any
level
of
government.
So
a
Consolidated
picture
of
you
know
for
Canada.
You
know.
T
Last
year
we
added
a
million
people,
the
size
to
the
size
of
Calgary,
like
the
infrastructure
impacts
of
that
are
immense,
so
I
think
that's
an
issue
that
we
do
need
to
wrestle
with
nationally
and
really,
where
I
think
we're
looking
as
local
governments
is
to
be
able
to
provide
the
information
to
the
feds
in
the
province
about
really
what
does
this
mean
on
the
ground?
Because
I
think
that's
where
the
disconnect
is.
T
E
I
appreciate
it
maybe
just
to
add:
we
do
participate
also
in
the
provincial
and
federal
budget
consultations
and
provide
information
there
as
well
and
then
understand
from
the
federal
government
to
focus
on
infrastructure
and
housing
coming
together.
It
really
fits
what
municipalities
need
that
Viewpoint
versus
asking
for
housing,
not
understanding
the
infrastructure.
A
O
U
No
problem
our
energy
and
utilities
team
has
about
eight
and
a
half
million
in
the
current
capital
plan
to
do
retrofits
on
heat
pumps,
Etc
plus
we
have
additional
money
in
capital
maintenance
for
doing
targeted,
clean
air
improvements
in
our
our
facilities,
like
libraries
and
community
centers.
Okay,.
O
Be
happy
to
see
which
buildings
those
are
in
the
future
and
Rachel
to
get
an
update
on
that.
Thanks
get
your
list
yeah.
Second
question:
our
questions
are
for
Steve,
Jackson,
okay
and
the
timing
of
the
West
End
Parks
master
plan
is
that
in
this
capital
budget
you
will
be
starting
something
on
this
yeah.
I
So
the
engagement
on
the
West,
End,
Waterfront
master
plan
I
believe,
is
wrapping
up
this
year.
If
that's
correct,
that's
correct
and
I
believe
we
do
have
money
in
this
Capital
plan
to
begin
some
implementation,
but
this
will
be
a
multi-year
likely
multi-plan
implementation,
as
it's
quite
comprehensive.
O
A
lot
of
people
in
the
west
Seattle
super
excited
about
that
more
questions
for
you,
Street
trees,
I
am
worried
and
there
are
a
lot
of
people
who
Express
their
worry
about
the
dying,
Street
trees.
What
is
our
plan
in
terms
of
ensuring
that
those
trees
are
watered
under
drought
conditions
or
heat
waves?.
O
I
For
sure,
so
we
again
have
our
urban
forestry
team
in
that
Park
already
beginning
to
remove
some
of
the
dead
trees.
This
is
going
to
also
be
a
likely
multi-year
exercise
to
remove
all
of
the
dead
trees
and
begin
replanting.
We
have
operations
Crews
monitoring
the
park
on
a
regular
basis,
just
so
that
we
can
respond
to
any
potential
fire
risk
quickly,
and
then
we
do
that
in
cooperation
with
vfrs.
O
O
You
know
on
something
on
Main
Street
book.
Anyway.
It
was
phenomenal
about
projecting
and
making
sure
that
in
our
planning,
we
plan
not
just
for
sort
of
the
general
government
estimation
of
sea
level
rise,
but
we
looked
and
also
an
extreme
estimation
and
make
sure
that
we're,
including
that
in
our
in
our
projections,
are
you
doing
the
same
thing
at
Park,
Board.
I
O
G
I,
don't
have
the
number
for
you
now,
but
we
could
I
can
work
with
Ryan
to
pull
that
together
for
you,
but
it's
substantive,
the
the
the
the
units
that
we
could
Deploy
on
our
city,
land
with
senior
government
support
the
the
cost
of
developing
affordable
housing
is
the
escalation
is
just
there
and
without
without
senior
government
support
it's
it's
impossible
for
us
in
terms
of
how
far
that
would
go
toward
meeting
the
demand
like
this
is.
Will
this
will
always
be
the
challenge
for
the
city?
G
G
K
Thanks
I'm
just
going
to
go
back
to
Beach
Avenue
for
a
moment,
because
the
there's
been
so
much
conversation
on
that
I
hear
the
reference
to
a
briefing
and
would
appreciate
that
so
A
bunch
of
my
questions.
I
can
save
for
that.
But
I
just
want
to
confirm
what
I
think
I
heard
you
say,
which
is
staff,
are
looking
at
changing
direction
on
that
one
piece.
F
Well,
I
would
say
that
the
reason
that
we
we're
looking
at
that
one
option
is
that
it's
something
we
can
Implement
quickly,
because
in
fact
every
other
option
is
going
to
take
a
considerable
time,
and
we
didn't
want
to
do
anything
disruptive
in
that
area
during
this
peak
season.
So
we
we
did
kind
of
want
to
keep
the
equipment
out
of
there
as
much
as
possible.
That.
K
K
F
V
Thank
you,
chair
I,
want
to
just
zero
in
on
some
of
the
the
money
involved
in
in
doing
this
work.
So
maybe
Patrice
she
might.
Maybe
you
can
start
I
just
how
much
to
finance
the
work
that
we've
been
talking
about
and
by
the
way
I
agree
with.
The
Fantastic
presentation
depends
upon
our
development
industry,
so
getting
more
actual
Housing
Development,
more
office
development
happening
commercial
development.
E
There's
two
parts
of
our
infrastructure
is
funded,
partly
through
fees,
partly
through
property
tax,
and
that's
generally
through
finding
funding
of
our
financing
through
our
debentures
and
then
for
growth
related
assets.
We
were
growing
that
was
generally
funded
through
development
contributions.
It
could
be
DCL,
cdcs
and
kind
Etc,
so
it
depends
on
the
type
of
infrastructure,
but
the
majority
of
our
infrastructure
is
infrastructure,
renewal,
which
is
funded
again
for
sewer
and
water,
largely
through
utility
fees
for
Community
facilities,
through
property
tax
and
generally,
as
a
mix
of
debenture
and
and
and
direct
pay.
V
There's
a
bit
of
a
sense
of
the
the
high
interest
rate
Market
has
haven't
is
having
an
impact
on
the
financing
for
development
and
I.
Guess
I'm,
trying
to
get
a
sense
of
I
realize
that
when
we
have
dcl's
that
will
pay
for
infrastructure
needs
and
other
things
surrounding,
but
obviously
Community
amenity
contributions
are
a
factor
in
our
ability
to
to
invest
into
communities
so
I,
just
if
so
just
to
close
off
that
piece
of
financing.
How
much?
V
T
V
And
I'm
thinking,
specifically
of
some
of
the
bike,
Lanes
Transportation
improvements,
the
and
obviously
we've
we're
moving
forward
on
the
amphitheater,
the
peony
and
things
like
that.
But
all
of
these
things,
including
Civic
buildings,
eventually
are
going
to
require
I.
Just
when,
when
we
do
like
a
capital,
go
to
the
to
to
the
electorate
and
and
get
Capital
funding
approvals
at
the
back,
do
we
know
generally
how
how
they
do
they
pass
a
really
high
approval
rate
like
in
the
80
or
90?
It's.
V
E
Would
say
the
the
constraint
is
really
our
Capital
planning
and
our
ability
to
service
the
the
debt.
So
when
we
go
through
our
Capital
plan
and
do
the
financial
strategy
behind
it,
you'll
see
it'll
come
back,
it'll,
say
here's
what
we
can
afford.
As
far
as
part
of
you
know:
property,
tax
and
utility
rates.
That's
really
the
constraint
as
to
how
much
we
can
borrow
for
the
Vancouver
Charter,
it's
a
very,
very
high
number,
so
we
never
would
hit
any
kind
of
constraint
that
way.
It's
really
our
ability
to
service
the
debt.
E
That's
a
very
good
question:
I
mean
certainly
it
impacts
our
Capital
plan.
You
know
in
the
housing
area.
We
would
consider
that
areas
that
we
are
not
part
of
our
mandate.
A
child
care
funding,
but
I,
don't
I
mean
I
can
go
back
to
our
report
on
downloading
and
we
separated
between
capital
and
operating
so
I'm
happy
to
do
that.
E
E
Yeah
I
mean
we
when
we're
rated
by
the
reading
agency.
Certainly
they
look
at
the
overall
city
financial
situation.
They
look
at
our
reserves.
The
fact
that
we
have
an
endowment
fund
certainly
supports
that,
but
it's
many
factors,
but
generally
it
is,
or
you
know,
Financial
ability
to
service
debt
and
the
fact
that
we
have
Fairly
reliable
Revenue
sources
like
property,
tax
and
fees
that
don't
go
up
and
down
so
there's
a
number
of
drivers
for.
A
Okay,
we
will
now
move
to
our
next
item.
This
was
for
discussion
only
and
presentations
for
information
only
so
that
concludes
this
item
on
the
agenda.
So
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
provincial
growing
communities
fund
initial
allocation
to
City
projects.
Does
any
member
wish
to
declare
a
conflict
of
interest
on
the
site
of
see
none?
We
do
have
team
members
here
this
morning
to
introduce
the
item
and
we'll
just
wait
a
minute
for
them
to
come
into
the
chambers.
E
E
E
E
Our
thoughts
around
that
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
an
overview
of
the
fun
for
those
of
you
who
haven't
had
a
chance
to
to
to
read
about
it.
Their
their
requirements
will
look
at
the
city's
process
that
we
went
through
and
the
criteria
what
we're
recommending
as
far
as
an
initial
allocation
and
then
we'll
have
the
team
come
and
speak
to
some
of
the
key
projects,
and
so
that
you
can
answer
questions
on
those
and
and
then
talk
about
next
steps.
E
So
just
as
an
overview
of
the
fund,
earlier
this
year,
the
province
announced
the
creation
of
the
growing
communities
fund.
It's
a
one-time
funding
with
the
goal
of
supporting
delivery
of
infrastructure
projects
that
would
enable
Community
growth.
Our
allocation
is
49.1
million
and
there
are
requirements
by
The
Province
for
us
to
report
back
annually
on
that
fund.
E
Now
there
are
many
categories
that
are
eligible,
but
there
are
some
that
are
not
so
just
to
share
that
with
you.
So
as
we
look
at,
we
took
this
into
account
as
we
looked
at
eligible
projects.
So
what
is
eligible,
affordable
housing,
Child,
Care
parks,
open
spaces,
Community
facilities
and
that's
Recreation,
but
also
includes
libraries,
Public
Safety
streets,
Transportation
pot
of
a
water
rainwater,
Wastewater,
Solid
Waste.
What's
not
eligible,
are
Arts
culture
and
Heritage
Community
facilities
that
would
be
social
facilities,
non-profit
offices
Etc.
E
Other
criteria
is
the
Mr.
Paldi
must
own
the
asset.
The
funds
can't
be
used
for
Grants
to
third
parties.
They
can't
be
used
for
ongoing
or
operational
activities,
so
just
the
one-time
capital
investment.
It
must
be
incremental
to
what
we've
currently
planned.
It
should
accelerate
delivery
of
capital
projects,
which
is
important
both
for
the
province,
but
also
something,
as
you
know,
we've
been
focusing
on
as
a
city
and
the
funding
must
be
spent
within
five
years,
so
that
takes
us
to
the
end
of
March.
E
So
with
that,
the
city
undertook
a
prioritization
process
of
our
own,
making
sure
things
match
the
provincial
criteria,
but
also
looking
at
how
we
would
prioritize
amongst
our
many
needs
at
the
city.
So
we
looked
at
the
goals
and
objectives
that
we
had
set
with
the
2023-26
capital
plan,
and
these
are
the
criterias
we
set
to
identify
and
rank
the
projects.
It
must
be
consistent,
obviously,
with
the
provincial
requirements.
E
E
But
we
do
have
a
number
that
we
feel
are
ready
to
proceed,
meet
the
criteria
and
we
wanted
to
share
those
with
you
today
and
if
we
do
get
your
approval,
then
we
can
move
ahead,
create
the
budgets
and
the
teams
can
move
ahead
and
start
that
work
and,
of
course,
in
the
background,
we'll
continue
to
review
projects.
That
may
not
be
quite
ready
to
launch
and
then
bring
those
back
to
you
over
the
over
the
next.
While
so
we
have
six
projects
that
we
are
recommending.
E
One
is
converting
a
temporary
public
classes
to
permanent
spaces,
two
million
dollars
towards
the
improving
the
Beady
Street
protected
bike,
lane
to
a
permanent
configuration,
Transportation
safety
and
accessibility
improvements
and
3
million,
adding
scope
to
the
Marple
Oak
Ridge
Community
Center
of
three
million
dollars,
the
renovation
of
the
children's
Library
advancing
phase
two
4.5
million
and
a
temporary
fire
hall,
an
Annex
at
fire
hall,
two
for
three
million
dollars.
So
we
have
a
slide.
Some
slides
and
I'll
just
ask
the
Departments
to
come
up
and
speak
to
their
projects.
F
Hello
again,
everyone,
so
this
first
one,
the
conversion
to
Temporary
from
temporary
to
permanent,
as
I
mentioned
the
road
space,
reallocation
activity
it
really
took
off
like
we
could
never
have
imagined
during
covid,
you
know
had
we
had
programs
like
this
in
place
for
many
years.
It's
it's
easy
to
see
how
we
would
have
solved
this
problem,
but
in
fact,
in
a
sense,
we
do
have
a
bit
of
a
problem
with
an
incredible
number
of
successes.
So
we
have
25
classes
in
a
temporary
State
in
their
temporary
State.
F
They
are
harder
to
maintain
than
in
a
permanent
State,
because
the
curbs
and
the
structures
that
kind
of
divert
the
traffic
actually
collect
leaves
as
they
show
in
this
picture,
so
they
they
would
have
the
benefit
of
lowering
our
ongoing
operating
costs.
In
addition,
these
are
locations
where
communities
gather,
and
so
they
really
respond
to
Growing
communities,
because
people
are
looking
for
more
spaces
to
gather
outside
and
that
that
was
needed
during
covid,
but
in
the
heart
of
growing
communities.
That's
something
that's
also
needed.
F
I
just
also
mentioned
that
in
the
permanent
Plaza
we
would
actually
deliver
infrastructure
such
as
water
and
electricity,
which
would
allow
for
the
neighborhoods
in
the
business
areas
to
program
them
very
easily.
So
these
could
become
quickly
reoccurring,
program,
celebration
sites
and
and
and
we
would
Implement
them
in
locations
where
typically
they're
very
successful
and
been
in
place
for
three
years
or
more
so
like
the
these
are.
F
These
are
tried
and
true
locations,
potential
neighborhood
Gathering
sites
for
celebration
of
FIFA,
which
is
also
related
to
the
next
one
that
I'm
going
to
speak
about,
which
is
a
Beady
Street,
protected
bike.
Lane
I'm
only
talking
about
the
two
blocks
that
are
on
either
side
of
Robson
and
directly
in
front
of
BC
Place
Stadium
right
from
the
implementation
date.
When
we
implemented
this
temporary
separated
by
separated
bike,
Lanes
they're
very
successful,
they
connect
the
Camby
bridge
to
Smyth
Street
and
to
dunsmere,
and
do
a
very
good
job
of
that.
What
they?
F
What
they
do
do
is
also
do
in
a
negative
way.
Is
they
present
a
challenge
when
we
close
the
street
and
really
want
to
activate
it
for
pedestrians
or
when
that
stadium
is
really
well
employed?
And
we
actually
want
this
Beady
Street
to
be
used
as
a
spill
out
area
for
for
the
the
stadium
itself?
At
those
times
the
the
extruded
curb
and
the
bollards
present
tripping
hazards
and
Hazards,
for
you
know,
programming
the
space
more
flexibility.
F
We
coordinate
with
those
because
the
projects
typically
would
do
the
portions
that
are
right
in
front
of
the
office
building
or
the
hotel
that
are
actually
underway
right
there
right
now,
so
those
those
would
be
covered
by
those
projects
and
then
the
final
project
that
touches
on
engineering
is
a
Transportation
safety
improvements.
Again
a
lot
of
the
requests
for
more.
F
You
know
infrastructure
to
help
with
people
crossing
busy
streets,
and
things
like
this
are
triggered
by
growing
communities,
so
the
streets
are
becoming
busier.
We're
seeing
more
pedestrians,
we're
seeing
more
cyclists,
we're
seeing
more
conflicts
out
there,
and
so
again
this
is
an
easy
one
for
us
to
to
to
generally
ramp
up
across
the
city
in
any
location
where
we're
seeing
the
demand
for
this
and
so
and
we
hear
from
Council
and
from
the
public
there's
a
strong
interest
in
in
US
delivering
more
on
road
safety
improvements.
I
Council,
so
this
project,
Marple
Oak
Ridge
Community
Center,
will
Mark
the
first
Park
Board
Community
Center
renewal,
since
Trout
Lake,
which
occurred
in
2012.
Mark,
Marple,
Oak
Ridge
was
built
in
1940
and
serves
a
growing
Community
construction
is
expected
to
start
this
fall
and
anticipated
to
complete
before
the
end
of
2026.,
the
Marple
Oak
Ridge
Community
Center
was
initiated
back
in
2018
with
an
85
million
approved
Capital
plan
budget.
It's
a
42,
000
square
foot
facility.
I
It's
going
to
include
a
gym
fitness
center,
fitness
studio,
multi-purpose
rooms,
sensory
spaces,
kitchen
field
house
and
change
rooms
and
washrooms
for
our
sport
field
users,
and
that
said,
due
to
cost
escalation.
Some
amenities
were
de-scoped
from
the
original
plan.
Staff
are
recommending
a
three
million
allocation
from
the
growing
communities
fund
to
enable
the
delivery
of
additional
multi-purpose
room
space
and
an
outdoor
Amphitheater.
H
The
next
project
I'll
speak
with
is
the
Central
Library
children's
Library.
So
when
Central
Library
was
built
in
1995,
it
was
not
imagined
that
the
downtown
core
would
become
the
home
of
so
many
children
and
families
and,
as
you
heard
earlier,
this
revitalization
project
responds
to
the
changes
downtown
by
creating
a
revitalized
indoor
space
for
children
in
Central
Library.
In
the
last
25
years,
research
has
also
progressed
in
the
field
of
children's
learning
development,
and
this
project
incorporates
research
on
building
literacy
skills
and
creating
Equitable
and
accessible
spaces,
including
for
children
with
neurodiversity.
H
The
children's
library
is
currently
funded
at
3.5
million,
with
donations
from
the
to
the
library
through
the
vpl
foundation,
we're
requesting
an
additional
4.5
million
from
the
growing
communities
fund
to
implement
the
full
scope
in
this
Capital
plan.
This
will
avoid
a
second
construction
related
closure
in
future
years,
saving
approximately
2
million
in
costs,
and
it
will
encourage
support
for
future
fundraising
for
vpl
capital
projects,
including
further
revitalization
of
Central
Library.
H
So
this
second
phase
of
the
project
addresses
significant
gaps
for
engaging
children,
ages,
6
to
12
and
assisting
families
in
developing
safe
and
supportive
Community
connections
and
vpl
Central
Library
receives
more
than
four
thousand
each
day
daily.
Children's
programs
often
see
60
participants
at
a
time
who
will
stay
to
use
this
space
so
just
to
reiterate
delivery
of
both
phases
at
once,
we'll
streamline
the
project
and
generate
over
all
cost
Savings
of
approximately
2
million
in
enabling
the
delivery
of
a
destination
public
space
for
families
and
children
in
2025..
Thank
you.

This
is
a
request
for
three
million
dollars
from
the
growing
communities
funds
for
the
fire
hall
number
two
temporary
annexed.
It's
going
to
be
situated
at
Union
and
Gore
we're
repurposing,
a
modular
from
fire
hall
number
five
to
create
as
much
efficiency
as
possible
project
consists
of
a
building
and
temporary
Annex
for
fire
hall
number
two
to
address
the
health
and
safety
issues
with
the
current
staff
quarters
serving
the
downtown
east
side.
J
Fire
hall
2
is
the
busiest
Hall
in
Vancouver
and
apparently
in
North
America,
it's
approximately
six
times
busier
than
any
other
average
city
of
Vancouver
fire
hall,
and
over
the
last
six
years,
Council
has
approved
operating
funding
for
two
additional
rescue.
Cues
Crews
at
fire
hall
number
two
to
address
the
response
issues
in
the
downtown
east
side.
J
This
increased
crew
from
8
to
14
staff
and
the
apparatus
from
two
to
four
has
resulted
in
an
overcrowding
at
fire
hall
number
two
and
it
resulting
in
health
and
safety
issues
for
the
staff
and
for
fire
hall
and
one
fire
vehicle
having
to
be
parked
outside,
which
is
a
hazard.
We
are
in
the
planning
process
of
this
and
we're
hoping
to
deliver
this
by
2025.
E
E
We
want
to
deploy
the
funding
as
quickly
as
possible.
We
do
have
a
number
of
years
to
do
that.
That
still
want
to
do
that.
When
we're
quite
comfortable,
we
have
the
right
projects
and
we're
going
to
be
able
to
successfully
deliver.
So
just
for
that,
we
are
continuing
to
look
at
and
not
quite
ready
to
bring
forward
to
council
as
yet
is
the
Vancouver
Aquatic
Center,
so
I
know
you're
familiar
with
that
project
and
just
looking
as
to
whether
some
additional
funding
from
this
fund
might
help
in
the
overall
delivery
of
that
project.
E
But
that's
still
under
this
under
review,
also
looking
at
the
opportunity
to
build
new
or
renew
some
sports
field
and
and
ball
diamonds
again
still
looking
at
scope
and
and
cost
for
that
we
are
looking
at
access
to
washrooms
in
the
public
realm.
That's
a
complicated
area,
and
that
is
in
many
cases
there's
a
lot
of
significant
operating
impacts
as
well.
So
we
do
have
an
initiative
to
look
into
washrooms.
E
It's
just
not
ready
to
bring
forward
at
this
time
and
also
the
potential
for
some
accessibility
and
inclusion,
improvements
and
again
I'm
not
quite
ready
to
bring
forward,
but
just
wanted
you
to
know
that
these
are
ones
that
we
feel
should
be
considered
and
will
be
doing
that
work
and,
as
you
noted
in
the
in
the
council
report,
there's
also
an
additional
consideration.
If
there's
items
that
Council
would
like
us
to
look
at
that,
you
haven't
seen
here,
we'd
be
happy
to
take
your
direction
to
go
back
in
and
take
a
look
at
that.
E
And
we
expect
that
over
the
next
few
years
there
will
be
other
emerging
projects
that
we
might
want
to
consider
as
well,
so
potentially
saving
some
funding
aside
for
those.
So
just
the
last
slide
as
far
as
the
next
steps,
obviously
to
facilitate
deploying
this
and
getting
them
delivered
in
the
time
frame.
We
would
like
to
try
and
and
bring
forward
our
recommendations
within
the
next
12
months.
E
We
have
some
regular
periods
where
we
come
to
council
and
that
we
would
include
those
in
those
of
course,
that
doesn't
stop
us
from
doing
ad
hoc
reports
back
to
council,
if
necessary,
but
in
September
we'll
be
doing
our
third
quarter
budget
adjustment
for
Capital
and
close-up
report.
So
we
that
would
be
an
opportunity
to
bring
additional
recommendations
to
council,
we'll
be
doing
our
engagement
on
the
2024
budget
in
November
December.
E
So
as
part
of
the
2024
budget,
we
would
bring
forward
some
additional
items
and
again
we
do
another
budget
adjustment
in
early
2024
and
mid-year
2024
and
then
in
20.
In
July.
We
do
sort
of
a
more
comprehensive
review
of
the
capital
plan,
which
we
call
the
midterm
update.
It
factoring
in
so
many
changes
that
have
happened
over
the
first
two
years
and
kind
of
doing
a
little
bit
of
a
of
a
coordinated
reset.
E
E
W
C
A
C
A
C
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
motion
that
saves
me
coming
back
after
lunch.
It's
perfect!
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Counselors
I'm
grateful
to
live
and
volunteer
on
the
unseated
territories
of
the
musqueam
squamous
Nation
at
a
regular
meeting
of
the
older
person
in
Elders
advisory
committee.
As
chair,
I
was
asked
to
speak
on
their
behalf.
C
We
were
very
pleased
that
several
of
the
proposed
capital
projects
under
the
growing
communities
fund
envelope
addresses
really
important
issues
relevant
to
the
growing
population
of
older
persons,
the
investment
of
three
million
dollars
to
enhance
the
Transportation
safety
and
access
accessibility.
Improvements
for
pedestrians
are
very
relevant
to
older
adults
and
those
with
Mobility
challenges.
C
C
In
addition,
given
to
Growing
current
demographics
and
projected
future
growth,
the
city
will
need
to
create
more
comprehensive
senior
hubs,
neighborhood
centers
within
the
Broadway
plan
and
and
other
underserviced
neighborhoods
in
the
city
of
Vancouver
and
I'm,
really
happy
to
hear
of
council's
continued
discussion
around
South
Vancouver
and
the
need
for
amenities
in
that
area.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
A
Glad
we
were
able
to
squeeze
him
before
lunch,
so
thanks
for
rolling
with
that
I'm,
just
noting
the
time
11
40
and
we
do
have
questions
from
counselors
still
so
I
would
like
to
propose
that
we
finished
questions
from
counselors
to
staff,
break
for
lunch
and
come
back
at
1pm.
Can
I
get
a
motion?
Please:
okay,
moved
by
counselor
Joe
seconder,
councilor
Carr,
all
those
in
favor,
CA,
hey
any
opposed,
say.
Okay
motion
carry,
so
we
will
finish
questions
from
counselors
to
staff
and
first
up
is
counselor
Boyle.
X
X
You
know
the
the
timelines
in
terms
of
spending.
It
would
be
my
only
concern
about
allocating
some
of
that
to
the
means
prevention,
fencing
on
the
Granville
Bridge.
You
know,
there'd
be
a
significant
design
effort
to
to
design
the
fence
to
construct
the
fence,
but
it
is
definitely
something
that
we
want
to
move
ahead.
K
K
X
So
we
looked
at
what
we
could
deliver
in
kind
of
the
the
next
couple
years
and
the
timelines
we're
hoping
to
deliver
things
coming
from
the
growing
communities
fund
and
kind
of
saw
that
given
crew
capacity
and
our
design
capacity
about
three
million
dollars
is
the
what
we're
comfortable
committing
to
delivering.
If
we
have
more,
if
Council
wanted
to
allocate
more
funding,
we
would
go
back
and
take
a
look
at
what
opportunities
we
might
have
to
deliver
more.
X
X
K
J
T
F
J
K
G
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Sandra
Singh
general
manager,
Arts
culture,
Community,
Services,
we'll
be
bringing
to
council
it
just
after
the
summer
break
after
the
August
break,
update
report
on
the
washroom
strategies,
as
well
as
some
recommendations
for
Council
for
request
to
senior
government
for
funding
to
sustain
some
of
the
interim
washroom
measures
that
we
put
in
place
during
covid
and
for
the
Hastings
encampment.
Okay,.
N
It's
the
one
outside
the
Coliseum,
so
not
the
one,
that's
further
south
closer
to
Hastings
and
and
at
the
time
when
the
sewer
separation
was
done,
staff
indicated
that
there
would
actually
be
a
an
actual
flashing
Beacon
pedestrian
option,
because
it's
six
Lanes
wide
pretty
much
with
the
parking
and
then
there's
the
child
care
there.
So
anyways
I'm,
hoping
we
get
a
report
back
in
that
I.
Don't
know
if
it'll
be
captured
in
that,
but
I'm
just
flagging
it
as
part
of
the
questions.
N
I
do
want
to
ask
specifically
about
the
timelines
and
next
steps.
So
I'm,
looking
at
the
one
of
the
last
slides
where
the
commitment
to
coming
back
within
the
next
12
months
for
the
second
tranche
of
funding,
what
will
it
take
to
have
that?
Come
back
like
within
the
next
six
months,
because
and
the
reason
for
my
question
is
the
ability
to
get
things
delivered.
I
know,
there's
a
time
frame
on
the
funding
set
by
The
Province,
but
also
there's
such
a
huge
demand
for
a
number
of
things.
E
Would
suggest
that
that
12
months
is
going
to
be
skewed
to
sooner
than
later,
in
that
people
are
working
through
these
items.
But
again
we
don't
want
to
sort
of
tie
up
funding
if
the
project
isn't
ready
to
go
and
then
we
don't
deliver
it.
So
it
may
make
sense
to
just
keep
some
dollars
aside
or
or
things
like
on
the
transportation
side.
E
They're,
just
they're
not
ready
to
to
recommend
yet
and
we'll
add
what
everyone's
Council
requests
as
you've
been
bringing
those
up
we'll
add
those
to
the
list
to
review
as
well.
But
definitely-
and
all
of
this
is
to
to
get
those
decisions
made
as
soon
as
possible
so
because
we
also
have
to
incorporate
it
into
our
Capital
plan
and
make
sure
we've
got
everything
lined
up.
So
the
sooner
the
better
right.
N
No
that's
great
to
hear
and-
and
you
addressed
other
questions
around
the
the
update
coming
around
washrooms,
because
I
Echo
the
questions
and
comments
from
councilor
Boyle
on
that
and
the
the
I
was
just
in
a
neighborhood
this
week.
Where
that
came
up,
as
this
would
be
a
we
could
use
a
public
washroom
here
and
and.
E
E
H
S
X
X
So
if
we
have
older
signal
equipment,
it's
going
to
be
harder
to
retrofit
that
to
kind
of
take
on
the
new
demands
that
a
scramble
signal
would
have,
but
generally
we
would
be
modifying
the
programming
of
the
signal
that
might
require
upgrades
to
the
signal
kind
of
Hardware
within
the
signal
controller
area
the
we'd
be
looking
at
modifying
you
know
the
arms
and
the
display
indications
for
pedestrians.
There
would
be
paints
and
sign
changes,
so
all
of
it
really
does
depend
on
the
intersections
that
we
select.
S
X
S
Okay,
thanks
Apostle
I'll,
look
forward
to
see
that
report
coming
through
console.
Okay,
the
other
questions
about
again
about
this
transportation
thing:
the
slow
zones
I.
My
understanding
from
the
cry
I
found
the
answers
from
stuff
yesterday
was
there
will
be
no
yellow
barriers,
just
the
size
unpened
for
the
slow
zones
that
15
slow,
Zone
costs.
250
000
is
that
right.
X
X
S
X
Definitely
the
physical
cost
of
design,
it's
always
more
than
than
I'd
expect
so
I
I
believe
a
typical
sign
costs
us
a
couple
hundred
dollars
to
build
and
like
to
to
create
and
to
you
know,
put
the
markings
on
and
then
there's
the
installation
costs
and
the
same
with
the
paint.
So
when
you're
looking
at
an
entire
neighborhood
and
putting
signs
all
the
way
around,
it
starts
to
add
up
pretty
quickly.
S
X
So
the
flashing
beacons
also
vary
in
cost.
There
are
times
when
it's
kind
of
easily
more
easily
set
up,
because
you
have
good
access
to
solar
power
and
things
like
that,
but
just
the
equipment
ends
up
being
most
of
the
costs.
There
is
the
occasional
time
when
we
need
to
hook
up
to
power,
and
that
would
be
more
expensive,
but
most
of
the
time,
it's
it's
simply
the
equipment
and
cost
of
installation.
Okay,.
R
Chair
I'm,
going
to
be
brief.
I
have
one
quick
question,
hopefully,
and
along
your
since
we're
on
active
Transportation
conversations.
Today,
the
BD
protected
bike
lane
see
more
to
Georgia
only
just
those
two
blocks.
However,
the
bike
lane
goes
all
the
way
to
Pender,
so
I'm
just
curious
as
to
getting
kind
of
an
official
rationale
or
thought
process
around.
Why
we're
not
doing
the
whole
thing
and
how
it
relates
to
the
new
Vancouver
Art
Gallery,
the
future
of
the
the
viaducts
also
just
capacity
and
funding
yeah.
F
In
short,
Focus
was
something
we
can
do
quick,
but
also
recognizing
the
FIFA
event
and
what
a
significant
event
that
is-
and
it's
very
much
focused
at
that
one
facility,
so
really
to
minimize
the
kind
of
the
scope
of
the
exercise.
We're
really
just
looking
at
the
two
blocks.
That
would
likely
be
closed
in
base
close
to
traffic
but
open
to
pedestrians,
and
so
we
could
fix
those
pieces,
the
other,
even
in
the
portion
that
we're
talking
about
similar
to
the
art
gallery.
F
We
wouldn't
touch
any
portion
where
a
development
is
up
and
coming
just
because
they'll
be
rebuilding
the
sidewalks
anyways,
and
we
don't
want
to
repeat
that
work.
So
really,
of
course,
we
could
do
more
and
there's
lots
of
temporary
separated
bike,
Lanes
downtown,
which
are
actually
have
similar
issues
and
have
maintenance
issues
that
if
they
were
permanent,
they
would
actually
be
easier
to
maintain
and
operate,
but
just
really
trying
to
narrow
the
scope
very
focused
on
the
event
itself.
Fifa.
R
L
Yeah
a
couple
questions
with
respects
to
the
current
Granville
Bridge
work:
can
you
recap
just
high
level
for
time
how
we
had
to
sort
of
break
that
work
down?
I
think
it
was
phased
because
we
didn't
have
enough
funding
to
do
what
we
needed
to
do,
and
so
we
kind
of
focused
on
pedestrian
in
the
west
side.
So
what
was
the
total
cost
of
the
project?
If
you
can
remember
that?
How
much
are
we
spending
now
and
what
what's
remaining,
that
was
unfunded
to
do
some
of
that
work
on
the
bridge.
X
Great,
thank
you.
So
what
what
council
approved
with
the
Granville
connector
project
was
an
overall
design
vision
for
the
bridge,
as
well
as
a
first
phase
of
implementation.
The
first
phase
of
implementation
is
I,
believe
it's
19
million
dollars
for
that
and
what
that
does.
Is
it
sets
up
the
the
connector
to
be.
You
know,
kind
of
the
base,
scope
for
an
accessible,
walk
and
comfortable
walking
cycling
facilities
for
everyone,
so
starting
at
Drake
on
the
North
End
it
reallocates
space
on
the
west
side
of
the
bridge
to
walking
and
cycling.
L
M
X
L
L
We
scaled
that
down
on
some
of
the
on
some
of
the
work
and
had
to
reduce
some
of
the.
If
I
recall
on
the
east
side,
I
think
some
of
the
pedestrian
improvements
and
some
of
the
other
pieces
that
we're
really
concerned
in
terms
of
pedestrian
safety
for
crossing
right,
where
it
gets
very
fast
and
people
are
people
with
strollers
and
that
on
the
east
side,
so
I'm
going
to
ask
for
a
second
round,
but
I
would
love
an
asset
after
lunch.
L
I
would
love
if
we
can
come
back
and
then
I
think
that
there
was
also
discussion
if
I
remember
with
respects
to
Suicide
Prevention
barriers,
which
we
also
didn't,
have
funding,
and
so
it
was
tough
choices
between
trying
to
do
the
work
and
improve
pedestrian
safety.
So
people
are
not
getting
hit
and
there
was
another
motion,
I
think
for
advocacy
to
the
province.
Do
you
have
a
recollection
of
how
much
suicide?
How
many
millions
Suicide
Prevention
errors
would
have
cost
yeah.
X
L
That's
really
helpful:
framing
frame
a
reference
and
I
will
come
back
after
lunch,
so
if
you
find
any
other
numbers,
that'd
be
great.
My
next
question
is
with
respects
to
the
fire
hall
number
two
and
Incredibly
supportive.
That's
a
hard-working
one
of
the
most
hard-working
Fire
Halls
in
the
city
of
supporting
it
I
guess.
My
question
is
just
what's
the
expected
lifespan
of
sort
of
the
annex
and
the
three
million
dollars
relative
to
a
plan
to
upgrade
that
fire
hauler
to
do
something
more
permanent
like?
L
U
Yeah,
thanks
for
the
question
the
temporary
Annex
at
at
this
location
would
actually
serve
as
the
swing
space
for
redeveloped
fire
hall.
2
we'd
have
to
do
a
temporary
fire
hall
in
order
to
redevelop
fire
hall
too,
because
it
looks
like
the
best
solution
for
fire.
Hall,
too,
is
to
redevelop
on
the
existing
site,
as
it's
has
not
been
possible
to
find
a
new
site
anywhere
in
the
neighborhood.
That
would
work
so
the
the
hall
will.
It
will
be
preempting.
L
A
D
O
Yeah
thanks
thanks
to
council
Caribbean,
for
asking
my
questions
about
fire
hall
too.
That
was
great,
so
I
I'll
move
right
on
to
the
request
from
the
speaker,
Mark
White.
So
first
question
on.
That
is
it
best
if
we're
adding
recommendations
around
prioritization
of
money
of
items
that
are
in
appendix
B,
which
includes
the
prioritizing
access
to
washrooms
in
the
public
realm
and
accessibility
and
inclusion
improvements?
Is
it
best
to
put
those
into
recommendation
b
as
opposed
to
a?
O
E
T
E
T
We
would
report
back
to
Council
on
more
refined
options
on
all
of
those
council
is
not
interested
in
us
doing.
Work
on
any
of
those
I
think
that's
probably
helpful
to
understand.
So
we
can
kind
of
tools
down
on
that,
but,
for
example,
accessibility
requirements.
We
need
to
bring
you
back
something
that
we
think
we
could
actually
deliver
with
costs
associated
with
that.
So
we
don't
need
direction
on
that.
That
is
work
that
we're
doing.
T
Estimates
but
but
we
don't
have
a
project
that
we
could
bring
yet
so
that's
what
we
need
to
come
back
to
I
would
say
at
this
point:
it's
it's
from
our
perspective.
It's
too
preliminary
to
commit
to
that,
because
we
can't.
We
can't
articulate
to
you
with
confidence
that
there's
an
actual
scope.
We
can
deliver.
So
that's
the
piece
we
need
to
do
so
all
those
issues
projects
listed
in
appendix
B.
We
are
working
on
and
we'll
report
back
on.
All
of
those
okay.
O
O
I
think
that
I
have
been
informed
of
that
by
people
in
South,
Granville,
Senior
Center
for
literally
11
years
on
Council,
so
they're
in
a
precarious
State.
It's
an
insecure
location.
Currently,
what
is
the
process
to
pursue
that
replacement,
permanent
South,
groundville,
Senior
Center
location?
So
what
I
mean?
Where
is
it
on
the
list
of
things?
It's
not
in
in
any
of
the
list
we're
seeing
here.
E
And
I'm
just
check
with
the
team,
but
my
understanding
is
is
that
it
wouldn't
qualify
for
this
funding
source.
So
we
would
continue
to
look
at
the
other
options
that
we've
had
in
the
senior
Government
funding.
Just
let
me
check.
Okay,
that's
correct!
Okay!
So
it's
not
part
of
this
criteria
for
this
one,
but
we
do
continue
to
look
for
seniors.
O
Y
Z
Thanks
the
plazas
public
plazas,
so
this
is
10
million
for
public
returning
I.
If
I'm
correct,
it's
four
we're
talking
about
four
plazas
for
a
total
of
16
million,
basically
15.8
million,
and
to
bring
water
and
electricity
to
them.
Is
there
an
opportunity
to
bring
I
mean
obviously
we're
doing
this
for
FIFA?
Can
we
bring
washrooms
at
the
same
time,
so.
Y
I'm
Lisa
Parker,
director
of
public
space
and
Street
use.
So
with
the
10
million
we
are
proposing
to
deliver
three
permanent
plazas
of
the
temporary
ones
that
are
well
established
and
then
looking
at
for
but
start
when
we
start
looking
at
the
specific
locations
building
in
water
access
as
well
as
Electric
electrical
connections
like
Lon
talked
about.
As
far
as
for
public
washrooms,
we
are
looking
for
the
opportunity
to
build
in
the
connections
for
that,
but
we're
not
able
to
kind
of
Promise
without
more
specific
looks
at
each
Plaza.
Y
Y
Z
Y
Z
I
certainly
think
that
that
would
water
electricity
washrooms
makes
total
sense,
especially
if
we're
talking
about
FIFA
fans
who
are
going
to
be
possibly
drinking
beer
and
needing
to
access
facilities
of
that
nature,
leaving
that
there
for
further
consideration
the
number
two
haul
Annex
site
very
familiar
with
location,
super
supportive
of
the
need
for
this.
This
Annex
site,
but
I
am
a
little
concerned
about
the
the
price
tag
for
this
relative
to
the
complexity
of
that
particular
location.
I
know
the
location
very
well.
Z
I
know
the
right
away,
it's
ironically,
a
great
source
of
frustration
in
the
community,
because
it's
very
generally
not
well
kept.
There's
lots
of
garbage
dumping
and
camping
and
various
different
kind
of
issues.
So
it's
also
a
very
busy
bike
path,
one-way
access
and
so
I'm.
Just
trying
to
wrap
my
head
around
what
this
is
going
to
look
like
and
how
it's
going
to
function
with
the
already
complex
uses
in
that
intersection.
Z
Z
I
mean
it's
a
it's
a
you
know
it's
right
adjacent
to
a
pretty
significant
public
housing
project.
You
know
the
impacts
of
Fire
Halls
are
not
insignificant
as
far
as
noise
and
it's
very
busy
I
live
right
by
number
one
Hall.
So
there's
a
lot
of
siren
noise
in
general
and
I'm.
Just
this
is
not
an
insignificant
piece
and
I.
Think
three
million
dollars
doesn't
provide
a
lot
of
potential
for
mitigating
some
of
the
impacts
on
the
media.
Community.
What.
U
U
A
Hey
thanks,
councilor
Frye
I
want
to
chat
about
BD
street
bike.
Lane
certainly
see
the
need
for
that
given
FIFA,
and
the
reasons
outlined
in
terms
of
this
is
a
very
important
busy
area.
That's
about
to
get
busier,
but
just
wondering
if
I
get
more
details
on
what's
planned
there,
two
million
dollars
for
350
meters
of
a
bike
lane
strikes
me
as
quite
expensive.
So
I'd
love
more
details
as
to
the
complexity
of
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
there.
Is
it
similar
to
Richard
street?
A
X
Great
thanks
for
the
question
and
we
have
kind
of
looked
at
it
at
a
high
level
through
a
high
level
estimate
looking
at
other
projects
that
we've
completed
typically
with
one
of
these
projects.
Yes,
we
would
definitely
be
looking
at
raising
the
protected
bike
lane.
What
that'll
do
is
create
more
space
and
a
better
facility
for
people.
Cycling
it'll
make
the
sidewalk
better.
We
can.
We
would
be
looking
at
improving
how
the
sidewalk
works.
X
At
the
same
time,
we
would
be
looking
at
the
intersections
and
improving
those
as
well,
so
there's
a
number
of
pieces
to
it.
If
funding
is
allocated,
we
can
we
would.
We
would
get
more
into
the
conceptual
design
and
detailed
design
and
then
could
provide
more
detail
to
Council
on
exactly
what
it
looks.
X
A
X
We
always
look
for
opportunities
through
these
anytime
we're
changing
the
street
to
put
in
green
rain
water
infrastructure.
Usually
the
it
ends
up
being
really
complementary
between
the
transportation
project
and
the
rainwater
project.
So
we
haven't
scoped
out
what
that
would
look
like.
But
if
this
moves
ahead
we
would
definitely
be
looking
at
that.
Okay.
A
X
X
We
could
we
could
get
back
to
council
with
that.
The
reason
why
that
piece
is
one
way
is
that
it
records
that's
where
Nelson
protected
bike
lane
is
introduced
and
because
we
have
one-way
cycling
over
the
bridge.
The
bi-directional
bike
lane
on
Smythe
the
intent,
the
intent
for
people
who
are
crossing
the
bridge
is
really
that
they
would
transition
over
to
Nelson
along
records
and
then
use
Nelson
to
get
to
the
bridge.
A
X
So
our
terminology
I
think,
has
gotten
confusing.
So
through
the
pandemic,
we
implemented
slow
streets,
and
that
was
streets
that
are
better
for
walking
cycling,
that
we
put
signs
and
other
information
up
to
try
to
slow
drivers
and
make
it
more
comfortable
to
walk
and
bike.
The
slow
zones
are
really
going
into
an
entire
neighborhood
and
reducing
the
speed
limit
to
30
kilometers
per
hour.
So
it's
a
different
program.
A
X
A
A
A
L
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
see
Paul
at
the
ready,
just
following
up
on
the
Granville
question
around
the
total,
the
when
Council
approved
I'm.
Sorry,
when
Council
approved
the
overall
work,
what
the
total
was
estimated
at
and
what
the
options
you
came
in
with
so
we
spent
19.
But
what
was
the
total
months
remaining
for
the
east
side?.
X
Great,
thank
you
yeah
and
I.
Think
what
I
didn't
explain
earlier
was
the
originally
we
had
25
million
in
that
Capital
plan
for
the
bridge
with
covid
and
the
reduction
in
funds.
We
dropped
that
down
to
really
what
was
the
minimum
possible
thing.
We
could
build
to
connect,
walking
and
cycling
across
the
Granville
bridge,
and
at
that
point
it
was
estimated
at
14.5
million
that
grew
to
19
million,
as
we
got
the
detailed
design
and
got
a
Contractor
on
board.
X
So
some
of
the
pieces
that
we
didn't
build
were
widening
the
East
Sidewalk.
We
think
that
would
be
about
seven
million
dollars
give
or
take
the
fully
widening
the
West
sidewalk.
So
what's
going
to
be
built
now
would
be
people
walking
at
the
bridge,
surface
level
and
cycling
at
the
bridge
surface
level
to
widen
that
West
sidewalk.
It
was
on
the
order
of
10
million
dollars,
one
of
the
big
pieces
that
the
South
Granville
businesses
were
really
interested
in
in
that
neighborhood
was
normalizing
the
Granville
in
fifth
intersection.
X
That
would
create
a
lot
better
environment
there.
That
would
is
kind
of
around
eight
million
dollars.
We
think,
and
then
one
of
the
things
we
heard
from
the
cycling
Community
they
were
really
interested
in-
was
a
cycling
connection
up
the
fur
ramp
to
connect
into
10th
Avenue,
and
that
was
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
at
the
time.
So
that
might
be
about
three
and
a
half
or
four
million
dollars.
Now.
S
X
S
X
S
E
S
E
And
I
think
can
work
with
supply
chain
and
look
at
options
because
again
for
us
to
deliver
quickly,
we
may
not
be
able
to
do
it
all
ourselves
anyway,
but
then
there's
other
constraints
where
it's
important
for
us
to
do.
Use
our
own
Staffing,
so
I
think
we'll
work
on
that
or
we
can
come
back
in
the
report
track.
X
X
S
X
S
E
Think
one
of
the
main
reasons
is
that
the
criteria
that
we
used
internally
was
are
there
other
funding
sources,
and
we
know
that
with
affordable
housing
we
have
the
affordable
the
accelerator
housing
accelerator
funds
there
there
are
senior
cabinets
coming
to
the
table
for
for
housing,
so
we
thought
that's
best
to
stick
with
those
funding
sources,
because
we
have
many
other
needs
right.
I
see:
okay,
it's
irrational,
yeah,
yeah,.
O
Thanks
one
additional
question:
I'm
just
wondering
this
Capital
plan
covers
the
period
to
2026
and
in
the
last
term
we
passed
the
Vancouver
plan
and
in
the
Vancouver
plan
we
had
an
objective
to
convert
11
of
neighborhood
streets
for
Community
youth,
de-emphasizing
car
use
things
like
children's
play
every
year,
food
Gardens
places
for
seniors
to
sit.
Is
there
any
funding
that
has
been
allocated
in
this
in
this
plan,
this
Capital
plan
to
enable
that
conversion
to
start.
O
Think
there
was
a
real
expectation
on
the
part
of
the
public
that
this
would
be
part
of
the
complete
communities
that
sort
of
the
you
know:
easy,
walk
around
ride
role
within
15
minutes
to
meet
your
needs
and
it
would
happen
at
a
neighborhood
level
rather
than
sort
of
spread
out
throughout
the
region.
So
I'm
wondering
if
we
are
pursuing
that
specific
goal
as
I
say
that
was
really
embedded
in
and
I
think
excited
people
about
the
Vancouver
plan
and
the
Broadway
plan.
That's
embedded
in
the
Broadway
plan
too.
X
So
one
of
the
things
we're
working
on
right
now
is
a
framework
for
a
broader
look
at
how
we
reallocate
Street
space,
and
that
is
several
groups
within
engineering
and
parks
and
planning.
Taking
a
look
at
how
we
progress
that
on
that
broader
scale,
but
I
guess
from
a
current
a
current
work
perspective.
We're
also
trying
to
incorporate
that
into
a
lot
of
that
other
work
that
we're
doing.
L
A
L
L
Think
there
was
a
resounding
agreement
across
Council
on
that,
and
so
really
noting
and
hearing
feedback
from
community
and
noting
in
the
list
of
projects
that,
from
a
geographic
perspective,
I
think
there
was
disparity
here
and
also
what
we're
hearing
a
lot
from
community
members
is
the
need
to
really
Advanced
tangibly.
Some
projects
in
the
area
and
I
think
it's
I
can
attest
from
my
time
on
the
Park
Board
from
last
term.
L
That
is,
there's
sort
of
long-standing
well-articulated
need
in
the
community
that
has
been
voiced
very
broadly
in
South,
Vancouver
and
so,
and
also
noting
that
this
list
did
not
include
the
initial
transfer.
Funding
did
not
include
any
allocation
to
parks
and
so
an
effort
to
kind
of
support
on
that
priority
in
terms
of
parks,
but
also
in
the
South
Vancouver
direction.
L
But
I
think
we
do
need
to
see
some
more
equitable
distribution,
I'm
a
huge
proponent,
as
everybody
will
know,
of
public
classes,
probably
one
of
the
biggest
or
most
enthusiastic
supporters
of
that.
But
I
am
confident
that
we
have
the
second
trench
of
funding
coming,
but
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
advance
some
work
in
South
Vancouver
and
show
some
real
action
behind
council's
demonstrate
a
commitment
to
that
community.
So
that
is
the
spirit
of
the
amendment.
Thanks.
T
Once
the
costs
for
that
Moberly
parked
her
field
are
confirmed
that
that
would
we
would
reallocate
money
away
from
the
amount
that's
currently
proposed
for
Plaza.
So
what
that
will
mean
is
that
we'll
have
to
kind
of
do
that
work
and
report
back
to
Council
on
the
implications
for
both
of
those
projects?
That's
kind
of
how
I
would
see
us
proceeding
with
this.
Okay.
K
T
So
to
confirm
the
the
projects
that
are
set
out
in
appendix
B
that
we're
currently
working
on
include
additional
Sports
Fields.
So
this
is
within
notionally
the
scope
of
things
that
we're
continuing
to
do
work
on
to
refine
those
projects
and
what
those
options
would
be.
Obviously
this
expresses
a
clear
priority
for
Moberly
Park.
So
again,
that's
the
work
that
we
would
bring
back
and
and
to
council
again,
if
there's
I'm,
not
aware
that,
there's
an
issue
around
art
that
we
would
not
be
able
to
deliver
that
again.
K
T
K
K
I,
I
I
I
am
nervous
about
the
proposal
to
reallocate
funding
for
the
plazas.
The
plazas,
as
we
heard,
are
very
well
used
and
in
their
temporary
forms,
require
a
lot
more
upkeep
and
that
direction
around
funding.
Parks
is
already
in
there.
So
I'm
not
in
a
place
where
I'm
ready
to
say
we
should
absolutely
take
funds
from
the
temporary
plazas
and
put
them
into
the
turf
field.
I
I
want
more
information.
K
V
Yeah
I'm
prepared
to
support
this
amendment
I
again,
just
going
back
to
the
conversations
that
we
had
with
community
members
and
Community
leaders
in
South
Vancouver,
and
the
real
need
for
us
to
in
this
in
this
shorter
term,
to
be
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
support
the
more
equitable
distribution.
I'm.
A
huge
fan
of
the
plazas
as
I,
say
and
and
and
I
know
that
we
have.
S
So
they
really
need
that
turf
field
over
there
and
also
having
her
field
specifically
in
this
Moberly
Park
in
South
Vancouver
will
be
a
valuable
addition
to
our
community.
This
also
aligns
with
the
amended
motion
that
was
passed
in
the
last
console
meeting
to
support
infrastructure
in
South
Vancouver,
and
this
turf
field
will
create
a
hub
for
people
from
all
ages,
offering
a
resilient
Place
service
that
can
be
utilized
year-round.
S
This
turf
field
would
fast
for
a
sense
of
community
provide
providing
a
space
where
neighbors
can
come
together,
enjoy
Force
building
connections
and
lead
to
a
healthier
Lifestyles.
Additionally,
this
facility
has
potential
to
attract
tournaments
and
events,
so
bringing
more
revenue
and
promoting
local
business.
So
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
triple
win
for
everyone,
and
you
know:
I
really
believe
supporting
the
construction
of
turf
field
in
this
neighborhood
would
not
only
enrich
our
recreational
options
but
also
strengthen
our
community
and
enhance
the
overall
quality
of
life
for
the
residents.
Z
Yeah
thanks
I'm,
you
know,
I
I
can't
speak
to
the
the
the
the
the
need
or
not
need
for
turf
field
at
Moberly.
I
do
know
that
this
did
come
up
at
Park
Board
and
it
was
rejected
by
the
elected
Park.
Board
I
know
that
there
is
public
engagement
underway
currently
that
the
park
board
is
initiating
on
this
very
issue
and
that
there
is
a
synthetic
turf
field.
Z
That's
ready
to
go
at
Mr,
Winston
Churchill,
which
is
just
less
than
two
kilometers
away,
and
and
that
there
may
even
be
some
opposition
to
the
idea
of
a
turf
field,
because
there's
an
elementary
school
that
doesn't
find
it
beneficial
for
the
use
for
the
children,
so
I
I,
I
I,
feel
like
we
should
respect
the
park
board.
Public
engagement
process,
that's
underway,
and
possibly
this
does
get
funded
in
the
in
the
second
tranche
of
funding.
I
Thanks
for
the
question,
so
we've
completed
our
first
initial
step
of
the
engagement
process,
which
happened
candidate
at
the
sunset
engagement
Community
event.
There
there's
still
a
number
of
activities
we'd
like
to
do
with
that
Community
to
better
understand,
Synthetic
Turf
field,
as
well
as
other
amenities
that
that
Community
I
think
is
desperately
in
need
of
and
where
all
of
those
fit
within
the
community.
There's
a
lot
of
pressures
that
do
get
created
through
syntheticator
fields,
on
use
and
so
I
think
it's.
Z
Z
N
W
N
A
V
The
purpose
of
this
amendment
is
to
propose
that
is
part
of
this
shift
of
focus
on
the
growing
communities
fund,
first
tranche
that
we
explore
a
spray
park
at
Ross
Park
now
recently,
a
number
of
people
were
made
aware
that
the
young
people
and
the
kids
in
South
Vancouver
have
no
such
facility.
That
is
nearby.
V
This
seems
to
me
a
veritable
drop
in
the
bucket,
if
you'd
like
in
terms
of
the
kind
of
an
Community
investment
that
we
could
be
making
to
South
Vancouver
I
think
it
would
go
a
long
way
to
increase
quality
of
life
and
so
I'd,
like
also
for
the
support
of
council,
to
to
look
at
this
option
as
well.
In
addition
to
the
other
discussion
around
the
turf
field,
thank.
K
Thanks
I
love
spray
parks,
I
want
that
to
be
very
clear
on
the
record,
but
again
this
process
feels
really
backward
to
me.
These
should
be
priorities
that
the
park
board
is
hearing
through
their
Community
engagement
and
then
that
the
park
board
is
deciding
in
terms
of
the
allocation
of
funds
and
I
am
very
keen
to
support
that
process.
We've
heard
already,
the
council
gave
clear
Direction
unanimously
to
to
be
looking
at
reallocating
funds
to
South
Vancouver
to
support
priorities
there.
A
N
You
know,
potentially
a
year,
so
we'll
be
ready
for
next
summer,
which
I
think
would
be
fantastic,
particularly
as
we
see
these
hotter,
Summers
and
and
also
just
recognizing
the
critical
need
for
families.
Families
in
the
city
are
looking
for
spaces
to
enjoy
Outdoors
to
cool
off,
and
this
is
another
example
that
we
to
help
and
again
contribute
to
the
South
Vancouver
neighborhoods.
O
Yeah
I,
too,
have
difficulties
with
the
Democratic
process
around
this
I
mean
I
would
feel
pretty
awful
I
think
if
another
level
of
of
government
or
colleagues
came
forward
to
this
Council
and
and
decided
to
overturn
a
decision
that
we
made
on
something
and
just
say
no,
we're
going
to
impose
our
will
on
that.
So
I
I
cannot
support
that
process.
O
Probably
not,
but
my
understanding
is
that
there
is
a
spray
part
you
know
in
in
the
region,
in
in
South,
Van
already
and
I
have
a
real
problem
with
with
increasing
the
infrastructure
that
uses
water
when
we
are
facing
droughts
and
very
uncertain
conditions
in
terms
of
supply
of
water
going
into
the
future.
So
I
cannot
support
this.
V
V
The
the
the
current
climate
conditions
that
are
bringing
these
kind
of
hot
summer
days.
I
think
it
would
just
be
really
great
for
us
to
start
making
these
kinds
of
Investments
and
signaling
to
our
Park
Park
Board,
that
this
is
the
kind
of
investment
that
we'd
like
to
see
to
try
and
enhance
quality
of
life
in
in
those
neighborhoods.
So
with
that
I'll,
just
maybe
we'll
move
on
to
the
vote.
Hey.
A
K
I'm
to
just
clarify-
and
this
might
be
a
question
through
you
to
the
acting
GM
of
the
park
board-
there
was
a
a
Park
Board
vote
on
a
turf
field
at
Moberly
field,
turf
field
and
Moberly
Park,
and
the
park
board
voted
it
down
in
for
process
reasons.
I,
don't
know
what
can
you
just
tell
us
what
happened
there.
K
I,
look
forward
to
hearing
at
Echoes
and
I'm
happy
to
support
priorities
for
more
funding
there,
but
not
not
in
the
way
that
this
is
being
proposed
here.
I
think
we
can.
We
can
do
a
lot
better
and
still
continue
to
support
us.
We
have
and
making
sure
that
we're
providing
amenities
that
are
badly
needed
in
in
neighborhoods
across
those
fins.
A
A
A
V
O
I
think
that
that's
a
consideration,
but
it's
not
the
only
consideration
so
I
have
I,
have
raised
in
the
past,
but
I
think
the
speaker
was
very
clear
about
the
need
for
washrooms
in
this
trusted
staff
to
come
up
in
in
consultation
with
the
seniors
advisory
committee
and
the
people.
People
with
disabilities
advisory
committee
as
to
the
best
locations
in
the
public,
Realm.
V
E
I
can
jump
in
there,
Sandra
had
to
be
away,
but
in
in
most
cases
they
are
looking
at
staff,
but
where
they
are
considering
are
things
like
aligning
them
with
a
community
center
or
park
somewhere
that
where
there
is
already
staff,
so
that's
and
it's
all
part
of
this
right-
I
mean
there's
different
pieces
to
it.
We
do
already
have
some
in
place
now
that
require
stuff,
so
it'll
be
a
combination
likely.
E
T
O
L
A
A
A
K
K
I've
had
a
number
of
conversations
with
Folks
at
Granville
Island
about
as
well
I
know
the
Bia
partnership
wrote
a
joint
letter
in
support
of
having
these
suicide
or
means
prevention,
barriers
added
on
the
Granville
connector,
and
my
hope
is
that
if
the
city
is
able
to
allocate
some
funds
from
the
growing
Community
Fund
that
that
having
some
funds
on
the
table
helps
speed
up
conversations
that
have
been
going
on
for
a
little
while
now
with
senior
levels
of
government
about
making
this
happen.
I
know
the
leadership
at
Granville.
K
K
A
R
R
I'd
be
willing
to
support
everything,
I'm
wondering
if
we
could
sever
out
C1
I'd
be
willing
to
support
the
rest
of
it.
But
at
this
point
specific
allocations
until
we
actually
hear
more
information
from
staff
about
what
I
mentioned
I,
don't
think
I
could
support
that.
So
so
I'd
I'd
be
asking
this
ever
see
one
from
the
rest
of
it.
That's
possible.
A
K
Thanks
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
that
this
was
was
laid
out
intentionally
that
allocating
funds
from
the
growing
Community
Fund
is
would
be
part.
The
possibility
of
doing
that
would
be
part
of
the
exploring
report
back
and
part
of
that
is
because
I
know
there
are
some
questions
about.
Could
this
happen
within
the
time
frame
of
the
growing
communities
fund?
A
A
L
Please
go
ahead,
please
I
know
the
date,
sorry
for
the
confusion,
Council,
but
I
was
actually
right
for
once
yeah.
You
heard
it
here:
July,
26,
23,
2023.,
okay,
I
just
want
to
speak
to
this
because
on
a
more
serious
note,
we're
we've
got
competing
and
different
safety
priorities
here
and
I
think
the
context
that
I
look
at
it
in
is
when
we
had
the
Granville
Bridge
Project
work
come
forward.
There
was
a
great
vision
laid
out
for
that
project
and
I'm.
L
We
heard
that
suicide
bearers
could
cost
in
the
neighborhood
10
to
20
million
dollars,
but
we
have
a
number
of
other
safety
improvements
that
are
really
important
because
we've
had
traffic
incidents
with
pedestrians
with
vehicles
fatalities.
We've
had
requests
from
the
cycling
Community
to
have
a
better
cycling
connection
from
the
fur
intersection
off
of
there.
The
work
currently
is
not
funded
doesn't
include
the
East
Sidewalk.
We
heard
that
the
additional
funding
would
support
The
Binding,
also
of
the
West
sidewalk
I.
L
Think
what
we
really
want
to
do
is
make
all
of
our
bridges
really
pedestrian
and
cycling
friendly,
so
we've
got
about
another
20
million
dollars
give
or
take,
and
this
is
obviously
notional
funds.
That's
unfunded
to
really
finish
this
bridge,
and
all
of
that
is
safety,
Safe
Transportation
improvements
which
contributes
to
Vision
zero,
so
I
feel
like
we
have
embarked
on
that
project
and
we
have
a
responsibility
to
address
a
lot
of
those
outstanding
safety
gaps
for
years.
L
It's
really
dicey
if
you
try
to
cross
on
the
east
side
of
that
bridge
and
you're
going
up.
The
fur,
of
course,
are
the
hamaki
go
that
on-ramp
and
people
trying
to
cross
you
sort
of
look
like
people
literally
Dart
right,
like
looking
for
the
traffic
and
they're
trying
to
and
I
know,
staff
have
tried
to
do
some
interim
things
such
as
trying
to
brighten
the
painting
the
lines
and
all
that.
L
But
you
know
if
you're,
if
you're
a
mom,
pushing
a
stroller
with
kids
or
you
do
not
move
as
fast
necessarily
due
to
age
or
Mobility
challenges.
I
really
worry
about
people
on
that
bridge
and
so
I
think
that
that's
where
I
would
like
to
see
us
trying
to
advance
funding,
whether
it's
in
this
fund
or
whether
it's
in
the
capital
project
but
I,
think
that
that's
a
very
big
and
on
long-standing
safety
issue
in
front
of
us
and
so
I'm
sort
of
being
responsive
to
that
one.
L
But
I
do
fully
appreciate
that
if
there
is
a
role
that
senior
governments
can
play
and
support
us
in
the
additional
piece
on
the
prevention,
barriers
and
I
would
incred
absolutely
welcome
that
I.
Think
Council
can
bring
its
voice
forward
in
terms
of
trying
to
advocate,
for
that
and
I
know
that
councilor
Boyle
has
been
doing
that,
and
other
counselors
are
also
feel
very
strongly
about
that
as
well.
So
those
are
my
comments
thanks.
A
Z
That's
happened
with
folks
on
Grandville
Island
having
to
witness
what
happens
in
the
absence
of
means,
prevention
and
I
think
that
this
is
worthy
of
of
including
as
a
as
a
direction
for
staff
to
explore
and
see.
If
there
is
opportunities
to
find
ways
to
fund
this
without
committing
the
money
right
up
front
so
have
to
support
this
thanks.
A
A
A
A
L
A
A
L
A
L
A
A
A
A
A
O
A
A
A
V
A
A
Okay
and
not
seen
that
any
conflicts,
so
we
do
have
team
members
here
today
to
answer
questions
on
this
item
and
Council.
You
have
up
to
five
minutes
to
ask
questions
and
I
see
counselor
Kirby
young
in
the
queue
please
go
ahead
and
we'll
reset
your
timer,
not
in
the
queue
not
for
this.
Okay,
hey
councilor,
Boyle,.
K
O
AA
O
AA
O
Q
Afternoon,
John
McDermott
I
am
acting
director
of
solid
waste
engineering
so
operationally
to
split
loads.
We
have
determined
that
that's
not
the
best
route
to
go.
There
are
certain
challenges
associated
with
that
there's
benefits
of
having
a
single
vendor
from
A
administrative,
operational,
Logistics
and
planning
perspective,
and
so
if
we
were
to
split
the
load,
there
would
be
some
implications
on
that.
O
Admin:
okay,
there
are,
there
were
other
firms
that
were
noted,
that
that
were
part
of
the
original
bidding
and
I'm
wondering
other
those
other
firms,
and
the
report
indicates
that
they
are
not
ready
to
take
on
the
kind
of
volume
of
the
city.
What
what's
the
what's
the
actual
potential?
Do
you
think,
how
can
you
assess
it
of
the
ability
of
other
firms
to
ramp
up
to
achieve
the
volume
that
is
needed
in
our
contract
within
five
years?.
Q
Yes,
so
so,
typically,
what
we
look
at
is
permitted
capacity
within
the
region
and
so
Metro
Vancouver
issues
a
permit
for
Organics
processing
and
So
within
the
region.
There
are
currently
two
organizations
or
vendors
that
can
that
have
capacity.
One
is
Anaconda:
they
currently
have
a
12
000
ish
ton
per
year
capacity,
and
then
gfl
has
150
000
a
year
and
so
part
of
the
process
to
to
either
amend
that
that
capacity
limit
is
is,
would
be
up
to
Vancouver
or
Metro
Vancouver
sorry,
so
it
would
be
their
permitting
process.
Q
And
then,
of
course,
you
know,
citing
a
new
location
within
the
region
is
always
going
to
be
challenging.
There
are
a
number
of
different
engagement
processes
that
that
need
to
be
followed,
and
but
that
would
really
be
up
to
Vancouver
or
Metro
Vancouver,
to
sort
of
drive
that
process
forward
in
terms
of
permitted.
K
Q
I,
don't
have
that
answer.
That's
a
Metro
Vancouver,
really
process,
there's
a
number
of
different
steps
that
are
involved
in
in
permitting,
and
you
know,
I
can
say
that
we
are
aware
that
there
was
an
amendment
to
permanent
capacity
submitted
by
Anaconda
we
received
as
part
of
that
process.
The
city
of
Vancouver
is
included,
and
so
Metro
Vancouver
will
come
forward
and
ask
us
for
our
opinion.
Q
Based
on
that,
we,
when
that
was
applied
for
in
2018,
we
came
back
with
some
questions
saying
we
need
some
more
information
and
we
haven't
heard
anything
since
then,
so
we
reached
out
to
Metro
Vancouver
and
they
said
that
that
has
not
been
approved
yet
so
it's
been
a
number
of
years
and
you
know,
and
we
we
don't
have
information
on
what
you
know.
What
what's
involved
with
that
like?
Why
is
it?
Q
Q
AA
Thank
you
counselor
for
the
question,
so
the
city
implemented
in
2019
social
procurement
framework
and
the
premise
of
it
is
to
be
able
to
diversify
our
supply
chain.
But
one
of
the
important
considerations
of
the
framework
is
that
we
do
not
sacrifice
either
quality
nor
price
and
make
sure
that
we
are
providing
best
value
to
the
citizens
of
Vancouver.
And
if
we
have
the
opportunity,
through
our
procurement
and
our
contracts,
to
be
able
to
pursue
social
value,
then
that's
where
we
would
design
a
procurement
to
be
able
to
pursue
that
opportunity.
O
Q
So
so
there's
a
couple
things
so
one
is
that
we're
always
working
on
increasing
education
and
awareness
trying
to
get
more
participation
from
residents.
So
there's
still,
you
know
upwards
of
20
to
30
percent,
depending
on
what
year
of
Organics
that
are
being
thrown
out
curbside
by
our
our
single
family
customers
and
so
there's
certainly
lots
of
opportunities
to
divert
more
Organics
from
garbage
and
then
and
then
and
then
so.
So
that's
the
main
thing
that
we're
doing
right
now.
Q
The
other
thing
that
we're
doing
is
through
our
our
zero
waste
2040
plan.
We
initiated
a
project
called
a
zero
waste
demonstration
site
where
we
invite
innovators
to
to
join
us
at
a
city
located
our
city
site
on
Kent
Avenue,
and
so
the
the
idea
around
there
is
to
sort
of
stimulate
that
things
around
zero
waste
around
waste,
diversion
and
so
Organics
would
be
a
part
of
that
as
well.
So
we're
always
looking
for
opportunities
to
to
reduce
that
waste.
Yeah.
A
A
AB
Good
afternoon
everybody,
my
name
is
Russell
zashiri
from
Anaconda
systems.
Limited
next
slide,
please.
So
what
we
believe
in
in
in
agreement
with
staff
is
that
in
region
processing
is,
is
good,
right,
Transportation
costs.
This
is
where
we
talk
about
money
right
putting
stuff
in
the
truck.
It
drives
away:
greenhouse
gases,
that's
all
aligned
with
the
city
of
Vancouver
emergency
action,
plan,
climate
emergency
action
plan,
so
Anaconda.
AB
His
position
is
that
we
are
in
agreement
with
the
findings
in
terms
of
reducing
greenhouse
gases
and
reducing
Transportation
next
slide,
please
so
of
all
intents
and
purposes
in
region.
Processing
is
good,
however,
in-city
organic
waste
processing
is
best.
So
here
we
have
a
map
of
the
city
of
Vancouver.
AB
So
in
our
notes
that
we
wrote
just
as
a
side,
we
don't
have
like
I
can't
go
through
three
minutes
with
all
the
stuff
that
we
need
to
talk
about.
However,
this
is
an
illustration
of
where
we're
located
we're
located
8601
Main
Street,
which
is
approximately
one
kilometer
from
the
transfer
station,
where
the
material
is
Consolidated
and
taken
to
Delta
and
Delta's
on
the
bottom
right
hand
corner
there.
AB
So
the
idea,
as
you
can
see,
the
map
of
City
of
Vancouver
is
highlighted
in
yellow,
so
the
majority
of
the
material
that
is
collected
has
to
drive
past
our
door
currently
and
then
go
to
the
transfer
station
and
then,
at
the
same
time,
then
it's
pushed
into
another
truck
and
then
it's
Consolidated
and
moved
all
the
way
to
Delta.
So,
logically
speaking,
you
know
into
the
organic
waste
processing
is
best
greenhouse
gases
Transportation,
so
as
administrative
costs
as
operational
issues.
AB
Basically,
the
truck
that
collects
the
material
can
stop
right
there
rather
than
going
to
the
transfer
station
getting
in
another
truck
and
then
transporting
so
I
understand
that
there's
the
research
that
was
done
around
that.
But
more
specifically,
this
illustration
just
shows
you
that
I
don't
know
how
this
could
be
any
better.
Now,
you're.
Probably
all
thinking
who
is
Anaconda
thanks
like
please.
AB
So
about
2014
I
ran
into
the
mayor
at
that
time
and
I
said:
I
had
this
problem
because
I
was
driving
a
truck
and
I
was
picking
up
these
Organics
I
said
this
is
what
I
want
to
do,
and
so
this
is
what
the
city
did
for
me.
So,
working
with
staff,
we
got
onto
the
property,
we
got
our
permits
and
we
developed
our
technology,
so
we're
in
City,
processor
and
Metro
Vancouver
did
grant
us
a
12
000
ton
license
and
we
received
the
draft
license
in
October
30.
AB
We
have
a
copy
of
that
October,
31st,
2022
and
so
any
day
now
we
will
be
able
to
have
30
000
tons.
We
have
been
waiting
for
procurement
of
this
since
November
of
2022,
simply
because
we
understood
that
process
and
not
to
mention
this.
The
city
supported
us
in
a
pilot,
not
One
Pilot,
but
two
well
documented
and
at
the
same
time
showing
that
we
were
successful.
So
the
city
promotes
entrepreneurship,
Innovation,
Community
Support,
the
city
did
all
this.
The
city
believed
in
me
the
city
showed
you
know.
A
A
A
AC
Afternoon,
hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
Jackie
cassandi
and
I
represent
the
black
entrepreneurs
and
businesses
of
Canada
society
and
so
I
have
some
questions
in
support
of
what
Anaconda
is
asking.
So
the
city's
bidding
process
by
definition
encourages
price
competition
and
so
and
would
provide
proposals.
So
how
is
how
is
it
logical
to
have
best
value
achieved
without
actually
going
through
the
process
of
finding
out
what
the
price
competition
is
and
how
is
that
transparent
and
fair?
AC
It
says
it
shouldn't
be
more
than
10
years,
so
if
they
get
this
contract
again,
this
is
five
additional
years
to
the
10
years
that
they've
already
had
when
Anaconda
could
actually
be
in
support
of
the
work
that
is
being
done
now
and
then
the
city
provides
Prides
itself.
In
being
a
green
City,
how
can
you
be
taking
this
to
Delta
when
there's
an
in-city
processing
it
just
it
seems
like
it
doesn't
make
sense,
because
you're
driving
further
you're
using
more
people,
you
have
more
emissions.
If
you
do
that,
so
I'm
gonna
stop
there.
AC
A
A
P
Okay,
beautiful,
thank
you
everyone
for
the
time,
quick
question,
so
you
know
I'm,
really
thinking
on
my
end
really
about
the
single
provider.
Channel
see
the
city
in
my
mind
here.
The
city
has
known
that
you
know
this
contract
was
going
to
expire
and
it
has
expired
for
the
last
five
years,
and
now
we
have
this.
P
It
kind
of
feels
like
a
state
of
emergency
in
a
sense
to
make
a
decision
on
this,
but
when
we
think
about
the
ideas
of
status
quo
and
Traditional
Values,
where
diversity
and
Equity
of
Contracting
should
be
present,
I
don't
feel
right
now
that
it
has
been
practiced
and
therefore,
in
my
eyes,
I
feel
that
it's
irresponsible
with
public
funds
and
I
just
would
like
to
pose
the
question
of
how
is
this
in
In
fairness
right?
Is
there
data
I
agree
with
Jackie?
P
AD
You
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
Arnold
chucha
I
reside
in
the
city
of
Richmond
and
I
have
some
history,
as
a
citizen
activist
dealing
with
the
Harvest
Fraser
Organics
Fiasco
in
2016.,
which
sparked
my
interest
in
finding
a
solution
to
solid
and
liquid
waste
cause
and
challenges.
Seven
years
later,
I
think
I
found
it
in
carvatura
zero
waste
and
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
I'm
at
the
end
of
the
day,
but
I.
What
I
have
to
assert
assert
here,
I
believe,
is
significant.
AD
The
other
speakers
representing
companies
are
seeking
to
get
a
chance
at
bidding
for
a
piece
of
the
30
million
800
000
organic
waste
pie,
but
I
have
no
objection
to
the
city
implementing
sole
source
bidding
in
certain
circumstances.
What
I
do
object
to
is
the
term
of
the
contract
being
five
years
and
the
length
of
the
time
set
up
in
materials
we're
discussing
Alternatives
going
forward
to
2025..
AD
If
available,
our
leadership
has
to
have
the
courage
to
be
future
focused
and
to
provide,
for
some
degree
of
agility
to
Pivot
to
better
Solutions
as
they
arise,
without
binding
our
community
to
inaction
due
to
longer
term
fixed
Legacy,
Concepts
and
system.
We
can't
simply
Kick
the
Can
down
the
road
and
continue
on
our
current
path.
AD
For
these
reasons,
I
oppose
the
term
an
extension
Beyond
three
years,
but
encourage
one
for
two
to
two
and
a
half
to
three
years,
with
an
option
to
renew
to
allow
for
discussion
and
possible
adoption
of
new
approaches
and
Technologies
in
a
more
expeditious
manager.
Manner
and
I
will
be
reaching
out
to
some
of
you
in
the
coming
months
and
weeks
to
further
introduce
our
proposed
zero
weight
solution
to
buy
both
liquid
and
solid
waste
dreams
and
generate
substantial
savings
for
our
community.
Thank
you.
A
A
B
B
A
O
N
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you
to
the
presenters
who
are
here
in
person
and
Council,
as
well
as
those
who
phoned
in
today
on
the
subject
of
of
this
sole
source
approach.
I
think
I'll
start
just
to
note
from
a
procurement
strategy,
because
I
know
it's
come
up
the
question
of
procurement
and
is
that
public
entities
like
cities,
governments
don't
take
it
lightly
in
embarking
on
sole
sourcing
and-
and
there
has
to
be
a
very
strong
rationale
for
that.
N
I
think
noting
very
clearly
the
compelling
business
need
at
this
time
that
gfl
is
the
only
company
at
this
time
that
can
handle
the
minimum
50
000
metric
tons
of
organic
material
waste
that
the
city
is
handling
and
in
fact
that
that
I
think
is
projected
to
grow
with
greater
density
in
the
city
and
more
people
coming
to
the
city,
and
so
that
is
I.
Think
one
of
the
key
critical
rationales
for
sourcing
this
contract
at
this
time.
N
But
I
do
want
to
note
that
it
has
been
raised
that
the
city
staff
will
be
going
out
to
the
market
to
engage
with
industry,
and
that's
noted
as
well,
and
that
will
be
starting
sometime
next
year
in
terms
of
Market
sounding
for
our
future
of
our
Organics
processing
and
I.
Think
that
may
very
well
look
different
in
the
future
and
it
will
not
likely
be
just
one
vendor
handling
it
in
the
future,
but
but
just
to
note
that,
for
those
reasons
I
will
be
supporting
the
report
today
and
I.
Z
But
but
I
do
want
to
reflect
my
appreciation
for
the
Anaconda
team
showing
up,
and
you
know
it's
unfortunate-
that
our
new
process
doesn't
allow
us
to
ask
questions
of
the
speakers,
because
would
would
have
liked
to
have
asked
a
number
of
questions
and
I
hope
we
can
stay
in
touch
and
I
hope
that
in
fact,
the
work
that
you're
doing
can
continue
moving
forward
in
in
ways
that
can
support
the
growth
of
of
your
company
and
and
really
meeting
I.
Think
what
is
a
is
a
critical
need.
