I

what
the
city
of
Vancouver's
long-standing
commitment
to
equity,
diversity
and
inclusion,
including
the
utmost
respect
for

genders.
I
remind

we
will
avoid

and

B
A
You
know
you
think,
after
a
while
we'd
figure
this
one
well,
not
we
I
I'll
use
I
thanks,
Rosemary,
okay,
so
in
case
of
an
emergency
we'd
like,
and
we
need
to
evacuate
the
building.
I'd
like
to
direct
your
attention
to
the
exits.
There
are
two
exits
for
you
on
the
glass
doors
just
back
there.
A
So
if
the
glass
doors
are
obstructed,
please
direct
your
attention
to
the
four
exits
over
here:
walk,
don't
run
and
please
do
not
use
the
elevator
I'd
also
like
to
highlight
that,
at
the
end
of
the
hallway,
there
is
a
defibrillator
in
case
we
need
it,
and
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
we're
hosting
today's
council
meeting
on
the
unseated
territories
of
the
musculum,
the
Squamish
and
the
spoiler
tooth
First,
Nations
and
I
do
want
to
thank
them
for
their
generosity
and
their
hospitality
and
the
love
and
the
care
that
they
show
the
land
that
we
get
to
live
work
and
play
on
and
I.
A
Think
it's
very
important
for
all
all
of
us
to
be
intentional
and
take
time
to
unlearn
what
we've
learned
over
the
course
of
our
lives
and
learn
the
true
history
of
what's
happened
on
these
lands,
because
that
way
we
can
really
have
true
reconciliation
and
build
a
future.
A
very
prosperous
feature
together.
A
I
also
want
to
recognize
the
immense
and
amazing
contributions
of
our
team
members
throughout
the
city
of
Vancouver.
They
work
incredibly
hard
with
purpose
and
passion
and
a
deep
love
for
the
city
and
so
proud
to
be
one
of
your
teammates
and
you
you
guys,
are
incredible.
The
last
thing
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
and
it
is
actually
quite
Bittersweet
on
the
sweet
side.
The
Denver
Nuggets,
you
know,
won
their
first
championship
in
what
47
years
and
it
gives
a
long
suffering
Canucks
fans
a
bit
of
hope
that
things
are
possible.
A
So
congratulations
to
all
the
fans
of
the
nuggets
and
the
the
better
part
is
unfortunately,
early
this
morning
there
was
a
mass
shooting
during
these
celebrations
and
there
were
nine
at
least
nine
victims,
and
it's
really
it's
really
sad,
actually
devastating.
To
see
that
this
occur,
and
so
our
thoughts
and
our
hearts
go
out
to
then
like
all
the
families
and
friends
and
of
the
victims
and
the
Denver
community
yeah.
A
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
go
back
to
the
plan
of
the
day,
do
you
have
to
go
through
the
whole
thing
again
or
okay?
Oh

A
Thank

H
A
So
basically,
just
follow
the
presentation-
yeah,
okay,
I'm,
always
trying
to
overthink
these
things.
Thank
you
very
much.
Okay,
so
presentation.
We
have
one
presentation
today
permitting
and
Licensing
update
Team
our
team
members
from
development
buildings
and
Licensing
are
here
to
provide
a
presentation.
I
I
I
So
for
discussion
today,
we'll
be
touching
on
some
key
improvements.
Over
the
last
six
months
work
we
are
doing
to
simplify
the
city's
Land,
Development
and
Regulatory
framework,
our
focus
on
customer
service
initiatives,
Improvement
to
specific
building
and
development,
permit
streams,
how
we're
improving
the
applicant
experience
via
digital
technology
and
then
we'll
take
a
look
at
Key.
I
Next
steps
I'd
like
to
just
take
a
moment
to
acknowledge
the
support
for
this
project
out
of
the
city
manager's
office
and
the
coordination
across
all
of
the
Departments
that
support
the
permitting
and
Licensing
program
and
our
efforts
to
create
alignment
on
the
many
changes
that
are
needed.
I
also
like
to
thank
our
industry
Partners,
who
offered
their
time
and
contributed
to
help
inform
this
work.
I
The
first
one
was
the
elimination
and
simplification
of
approximately
682
Engineering
Services
and
DBL.
Permit
conditions
that
we
anticipate
will
reduce
review
Times
by
30
percent.
We
also
signed
a
contract
with
archistar
to
automate
permit
application
reviews.
This
is
our
first
step
towards
fully
automated
plan.
Checking
we
simplified
business
licensing
by
streamlining,
streamlining
licensing
types
from
600
to
88.
I
I
J
Pleasure
to
be
with
you
here
here
with
you
today,
this
has
been
a
pet
project
of
mine
and
I
know.
It
is
one
of
the
councils,
too,
is
to
simplify
our
regulatory
framework.
So
are
you?
Are
you
doing
slides,
yeah
so,
and
you
all
have
heard
this-
we've
heard
this
there's
way
too
many
regulations
and
bulletins
and
policies
and
guidelines,
and
just
too
many
it's
it's
very
confusing
to
applicants
it's
confusing
to
the
public,
it's
confusing
to
the
council
and
to
staff.
J
J
Today,
you
know
when
you
open
page
two
of
those
case
reports
you'll,
sometimes
see
2025
policies
that
apply
to
this
zoning
case.
It's
it's
just
untenable
at
this
point.
So
what
we're-
and
we
know
that
we're
historically,
when
we've
added
new
policy,
we
haven't
gotten
cleared
out
the
old
policy.
We
haven't
done
a
true
up
to
see
what
is
really
no
longer
relevant,
so
we're
doing
business
a
different
way
now.
So
what
we're
doing
to
add
address
this
now
is
we
finally
have
a
documents,
library
and
we've
identified
all
of
them?
J
We
know
all
of
them
right.
We
know
where
they
are.
We
know
it's
in
bulletins.
What's
in
guidelines,
what's
in
policy,
what's
in
plans,
we've
we've
looked
at
all
that
a
lot
of
them
we're
not
even
going
to
have
to
delve
very
far
into
to
know
that
they're
no
longer
relevant,
so
we
will
be
starting.
This
fall.
We
will
be
bringing
those
policies,
guidelines,
bulletins
for
you
to
start
to
Sunset,
and
so
that
we
can
simplify
our
our
framework.
J
The
nine
zones
I
think
we're
getting
rid
of
nine
bulletins
and
nine
eight
or
nine
guidelines
along
with
those
when
we
collapse
those
zones,
so
it
will
be,
there
will
be
a
lot
more
transparency.
Transparency
in
our
regulations,
folks
will
understand,
what's
happening
and
then,
of
course,
as
we
try
to
move
more
to
pre-zoning
to
sim
to
simplify
the
regulatory
processes,
we
know
we
need
some
Charter
amendments.
The
council
was
very
kind
to
us
and
allowing
us
to
go
forward
and
those
those
ideas.
J
Those
Concepts
have
been
submitted
to
the
province
now
and
we're
working
our
way
through
that.
So
we
think
in
the
future
we
will
have
much
more
flexibility
to
do
this
faster,
but
in
terms
of
just
highlighting
the
key
work,
that's
underway
right
now,
the
missing
middle
Multiplex
zoning
will
be
briefing
Council
on
Monday,
we'll
start
our
final
engagement
with
the
builders
and
we'll
bring
you
we'll
be
bringing
you
those
amendments
to
Council
in
the
fall.
J
We
are
going
through
a
complete
rewrite
of
our
tree
protection
ordinances
to
be
a
lot
quicker,
a
lot
more
clear,
less
discretion
and
we'll
also
add
in
their
an
ability
for
applicants
to
do
a
payment
in
lieu
for
trees
that
they
want
to
remove
where
they
couldn't
in
the
past.
So
that'll
be
awesome.
J
We're
also
working
both
Dan's
group
and
Jason's
work
group
are
working
on
the
design
guidelines
for
multi-family
housing,
so
I
know
we've
heard
concerns
from
this
Council
and
prior
council's
about
the
size
of
bedrooms
and
whether
or
not
there's
daylight
or
borrowed
daylight.
Those
will
be
cleaned
up.
We're
also
harmonizing
our
guidelines
with
those
of
the
province
for
child
care.
That
will
clear
up
a
lot
of
confusion
about
which
set
of
guidelines
you
have
to
meet
Dan
and
his
group
are
working
very
hard
on
looking
at
the
below
Market
rental
housing
work.
J
We
know
in
the
past,
some
of
our
merps
haven't
been
able
to
go
forward
just
because
of
the
timing
of
when
those
rent
set
and
when
they
reset
so
it
stalled
and
oh
I,
think
about
12
or
15
projects
from
going
forward.
So
we're
going
to
clean
that
up
and
bring
it
to
council
again
in
the
fall
simplifying
FSR
exclusions.
This
is
a
huge
amount
of
work.
It
doesn't
sound,
but
it's
the
tech.
J
J
M
M
City
processes
and
requirements
can
be
difficult
to
understand
and
digitization
has
created
some
inequities
between
tech,
savvy
applicants
and
those
who
prefer
traditional
methods.
So
how
we've
started
to
address
those
issues?
Applicants
are
now
able
to
seek
staff
advice
prior
to
application
applicants
now
able
to
schedule
in-person
meetings
with
staff
at
the
Services
Center
we've
conducted
a
variety
of
information
and
education
sessions
for
the
applicants
and
we've
completed
customer
service
training
for
all
of
DBL
staff.
M
A
combination
of
14
social
posts
and
stories
reached
more
than
46
130
people.
We
had
just
under
600
views
for
the
registration
link
for
the
two
information
sessions
and
over
700
views
for
the
career
information
session
link.
All
sessions
were
fully
subscribed
with
wait,
lists
and
we're
looking
at
conducting
more
of
those
sessions
in
the
early
fall.
M
So
in
our
low
density
housing.
What
we've
been
hearing
from
our
customers
is
permitting
as
a
shared
responsibility
between
both
the
city
and
the
applicants.
The
city's
requirements
and
regulations
can
be
difficult
to
understand.
Our
reviews
are
taking
too
long
and
are
too
detailed
and
to
speed
up
permit
times.
Did
the
city
should
support
applicants
through
the
process
and
to
address
those
concerns?
We've
been
developing
tools
to
help
applicants,
understand
requirements
and
the
application
process.
M
This
takes
time
as
it's
a
huge
shift
for
staff,
and
much
of
this
is
overcoming
the
staff
here
about
doing
a
perfect
job,
but
the
results
indicate
that
we
can
make
significant
improvements
through
this
approach
and
we'll
be
scaling
this
to
other
areas
and
other
permitting
streams.
We've
kept
a
close,
been
kept
closely
in
touch
with
the
inspections
team
and
haven't
noticed
any
design
issues
out
in
the
field
when
they've
gone
to
do
their
inspections.
M
So
this
is
an
example
of
a
low
density,
housing
application.
So
it's
a
standalone
laneway
example
in
the
sunset
neighborhood.
So,
as
you
can
see
by
this,
it's
a
shared
responsibility
between
the
staff
time
and
the
applicant
time,
so
the
staff
times
reflected
in
the
gray
and
the
applicant
time
in
the
blue.
M
The
intake
and
plan
review
is
getting
all
the
documents
and
ensuring
a
complete
application
and
we
hope
to
reduce
that
significantly
through
digitization
and
simplification
of
policy
to
approximately
one
to
two
days,
and
then
we
can
see
with
the
133
day.
That's
our
response
waiting
for
applicants
to
get
back
to
us
on
the
deficiency
lists
that
are
sent
out.
M
So
what
we've
been
hearing
from
our
customers
is
simple
applications
processed
by
the
same
queue
as
complex
applications,
so
people
that
have
a
real,
simple
application
are
getting
stuck
behind.
The
larger
complex
ones
takes
too
long
to
get
a
permit
for
accessibility,
upgrades
they're,
not
clear
on
what
needs
to
be
included
in
an
application
and
reviews
take
too
long
and
are
too
detailed
so
to
address
those
concerns.
We've
created
a
fast
track,
permit
stream,
which
is
called
direct
to
inspections,
and
that
can
be
issued
in
less
than
a
week.
M
So
like
low
density
and
development
permits,
the
process
is
a
shared
Journey
between
staff
and
applicants.
This
is
an
example
of
where
we're
going
to
reduce
processing
Times
by
implementing
risk-based
reviews,
and
we
expect
this
to
result
in
40
reduction
in
processing
time,
we're
exploring
ways
to
collect
payment
more
efficiently
and
encourage
applicants
to
pay
faster
and
by
not
penalizing
applicants
for
previously
unpermitted
work,
we're
reducing
the
variability
in
response
to
deficiencies.
M
The
upgrade
requirements
are
what
significantly
increase
variability
and
processing
times.
So
when
the
applicant
finds
that
the
scope
of
their
project
will
trigger
expensive
upgrades
such
as
a
new
sewer
connection,
they
may
choose
to
reduce
the
scope,
creating
tools
that
allow
applicants
to
explore
their
project
and
understand.
The
upgrades
will
allow
them
to
better
scope
their
project
in
advance
and
understand
all
of
those
costs
up
front.
M
M
M
So
for
a
designer
that
is
highly
skilled.
They
can
have
their
renovation
application
in
stream
and
process
between
one
to
two
weeks.
We
then
have
homeowners
that
are
wanting
to
do
the
work
on
their
own.
It
often
takes
six
to
eight
weeks
and
then
often
some
projects
have
work
without
permits,
so
there
isn't
the
applicant
isn't
as
eager
to
get
their
permit
issued
and
those
were
looking
at
10
to
12
plus
weeks
before
those
permits
are
being
issued.
M
So
the
metrics
that
we're
publishing
online
include
all
three
of
these
applicant
types.
This
is
part
of
why
it's
difficult
to
forecast
how
long
it
will
take
to
get
your
permit
part
of
the
book.
We're
doing
with
the
digital
transformation
team
is
to
better
understand,
project
scope
and
applicant
attributes.
So
we
can
more
accurate
accurately
predict
how
long
a
permit
will
take
at
the
start
of
the
process.
I
Thanks
Corey,
so
much
of
the
work
under
the
permitting
and
Licensing
Improvement
program
has
focused
on
some
of
our
less
complex
permitting
processes
and
the
important
policy
simplification
program
with
the
next
few
slides
we'll
provide
an
update
on
the
work
we've
done
to
address
some
of
the
challenges.
What's
larger,
more
complex
projects.
I
So
the
number
one
thing
we've
heard
internally
and
externally
is
that
we
have
too
many
development
permit
conditions
and
those
conditions
are
too
complex,
requiring
more
detail
than
is
necessary
at
the
development.
Permit
stage
has
a
cost
impact
to
applicants
as
they
need
to
pay
contractors
to
design
these
details.
I
So
what
we're
doing
around
these
challenges
is
standardizing
and
simplifying
our
development.
Permit
conditions
we're
removing
conditions
where
appropriate,
we're
committing
to
more
predictable
and
faster
review
times,
reducing
reviews
by
up
to
30
percent
we're
better
aligning
the
city's
requirements
at
the
development
permit
stage
with
the
applicants,
design
process
and
we're
also
redesigning
the
prior
two
letter,
which
details
the
conditions
and
streamlining
the
process
for
applicants
to
clear
conditions
more
efficiently.
I
I
I
We
will
be
moving
all
of
the
DP
conditions
out
of
the
zoning
and
development
bylaw
and
into
the
building
bylaw,
and
we
anticipate
a
reduction
in
processing
time
from
56
weeks
to
three
weeks
pounding
pending
a
council
decision
in
July
we're
also
working
on
off-street
parking
requirements,
the
transportation
demand
management
plan,
utilities,
key
plan,
latecomer
agreements
and
updating
the
parking
and
loading
requirements.
I
I
Engineering
staff
will
be
reporting
back
in
early
2024
on
changes
to
the
parking
and
loading
requirements.
Now,
while
it's
not
listed
here,
we
know
we
need
to
simplify
and
reduce
the
number
of
legal
agreements
associated
with
development
permits.
Staff
have
initiated
a
project
to
optimize
legal
agreements
and
have
a
solicited
feedback
from
applicants
to
support
this
work.
I
I
I
I
So
our
business
license
we'll
look
at
approving
licenses
through
self-serve
portal,
laneway
house
digital
plan
reviews
is
our
automated
online
plan.
Checking
the
lane
laneway
project
requirement
exploration
tool
is
an
opportunity
to
provide
a
self-serve
portal
to
allow
applicants
to
explore
project
requirements,
feasibility
and
submit
and
track
and
update
their
applications,
also
be
looking
at
data
and
analytics
to
improve
our
permit
and
Licensing
data
and
metrics.
I
I
The
second
Focus
area
is
digital
Plan
reviews.
This
will
be
iterative
and
the
first
release
will
check
a
number
of
requirements
related
to
zoning
from
there
we'll
build
additional
capabilities
with
subsequent
releases
over
time.
This
tool
will
allow
us
to
stop
doing
components
of
the
review,
saving
significant
staff
time.
I
K
Welcome
to
this
presentation
of
the
e-comply
proof
of
concept
for
the
city
of
Vancouver,
with
the
arkestar
digital
platform,
the
digitization
of
regulations
and
the
capacity
to
review
designs
quickly
and
efficiently
has
significant
value
outcomes
for
applicants
and
City
staff.
Let's
go
over
how
it
works.
K
The
first
thing
users
can
do
on
this
e-comply
platform
is
pick
a
specific
site
by
typing
an
address
or
choosing
from
a
map.
Once
the
site
is
selected,
its
details
are
immediately
available.
Users
can
easily
view
our
City's
policies.
Regulations,
bylaws
and
guidelines,
collectively
termed,
as
rules
are
integrated
into
the
platform
for
easy
reference.
K
For
this
demo,
we've
digitized
a
portion
of
the
rs-1
zoning
rules,
which
pertain
to
single
detached
homes
and
duplexes.
The
platform
has
the
capacity
to
display
all
rules
relevant
to
a
selected
site
for
additional
reference.
The
platform
also
conveniently
links
to
original
PDFs
of
the
rules
located
on
the
Vancouver
City
website,
making
it
a
time,
saving
tool
for
both
applicants
and
City
staff.
K
Once
applicants
have
completed
their
design,
it's
easy
to
upload
digitally
onto
the
platform.
The
software
automatically
evaluates
the
proposed
designs.
Compliance
against
relevant
rules,
a
3D
visualization,
is
generated
which
allows
users
to
assess
whether
the
design
meets
the
rules.
The
platform
clearly
reports
on
a
pass
fail
basis.
Let's
view
an
example:
here
we
are
examining
Building
height
compliance.
The
3D
model
indicates
that
the
proposed
height
is
8.62
meters
against
a
limit
of
9.5
meters.
K
K
In
addition
to
the
online
3D
visualization,
the
e-complete
digital
platform
generates
a
comprehensive
PDF
report.
Users
get
an
overall
summary
of
what
their
design
has
passed
or
failed,
followed
by
a
full
report
detailing
the
compliance
of
each
rule.
In
summary,
arcostar's
e-comply
is
a
powerful
tool
for
applicants
and
City
staff.
The
digitization
of
the
application
process
streamlines
design
compliance
and
enhances
transparency
in
the
city
of
Vancouver
development
process.
I
I
I
I
This
dashboard
breaks
data
out
into
key
stages
of
the
development
of
the
permit
processes
and
provides
detailed
information
on
permit
elapsed
times.
It
shows
staff,
processing,
time
and
applicant
processing.
Time
separately
will
allow
staff
and
Council
to
track
permitting
improvements,
initiatives
results
in
real
time
and
it
will
help
City
staff
and
Council
prioritize
timing
and
phasing
of
Permitting
Improvement
initiatives.
I
So
I'm
going
to
touch
on
just
a
key
next
steps
before
we
close
out
the
focus
for
our
next
update
to
council
will
include
simplifying
Planning,
Development
and
sustainability
development.
Permit
conditions
we'll
be
rationalizing
development
permit
related
policies
for
Council
consideration,
as
Teresa
noted,
we'll
also
be
providing
an
update
on
the
great
work
we're
doing
to
advance
a
risk-based
culture
that
supports
a
greater
Reliance
on
our
industry
expertise.
I
A
I'd
like
to
thank
all
the
team
members
for
this
presentation
and
all
the
work
that
went
behind
us
to
move
the
the
the
permitting
process
forward,
making
it
faster
I
just
want
to
highlight
a
couple
of
words
and
a
couple
of
things.
I
saw
before
we
go
to
questions
one
I
love
the
fact
that
we're
using
the
term
customers
I
also
know
change.
A
Management
in
any
organization
is
incredibly
hard,
and
so
what
we
saw
today
is
absolutely
amazing
and
I
love
the
fact
that
you
know
you're
talking
about
not
doing
a
perfect
job.
That
should
be
celebrated
because
perfect
is
the
enemy
of
good
and
it
stops
us
from
doing
so.
Many
things
and
I
also
saw
a
bunch
of
value
stream
mapping
in
there,
so
I
was
getting
old,
Kitty,
so
I
think
it's
absolutely
great.
Sorry
I
had
to
make
those
comments.
H
Thanks
mayor
and
I
also
I've
got
like
eight
questions.
Could
I
move
for
a
second
round.
H
Thanks
yeah
also
thank
you
staff
that
was
a
great
presentation
and
super
exciting.
So
I'll
start
with
my
first
question,
which
was
you're
rewriting
the
protection
of
tree
bylaws
for
enabling
payment
and
lube
for
trees.
My
question
on
this
is:
we
have
heard
from
you
a
step
that
it
can
be
as
much
as
twenty
thousand
dollars
to
replace
a
mature
tree.
Are
we
doing
cost
recovery
in
that
collection
of
fee
in
lieu
of
plan
of
retaining
a
tree
or
not
yeah.
J
That's
a
great
question:
we're
actually
looking
at
those
fees
right
now
to
see
how
we
can
provide
options
but
also
make
sure
we're
encouraging
the
behavior
that
we
want
we're
breaking
down.
This
I
might
want
to
get
back
to
you
in
a
memo,
because
this
is
a
we're
looking
at
our
options
around
fees,
it's
actually
in
the
ordinance.
Now
staff
don't
operationalize
it.
J
A
lot
of
people
want
to
use
it,
but
we're
also
looking
at
ways
that
they
could
maybe
plant
on
other
public
properties
within
like
a
mile
radius
and
and
also
aligning
with
the
park
board,
because
they
do
have
a
calculation
they
use
for
the
replacement.
I.
Think
it's
like
the
30
years
of
benefits
that
a
tree
will
provide
so
we're.
That's
that's
quite
a
bit
of
analysis
that,
but
we
should
probably
give
you
a
memo
about
that.
H
Okay,
yeah
that's
good
and
I
like
the
idea
of
getting
them
to
plant
it.
Okay,
under
our
guidance.
Second
question:
harmonizing
the
city
of
Vancouver
requirements
around
child
care
with
the
province
of
BC
I.
Think
we've
had
concerns
around
the
access
to
Outdoors.
Is
that
one
thing
that
you're
specifically
looking
at
so
we
have
a
direct
access
to
Outdoors,
which
has
stopped
some
Child
Care
projects
from
going
forward.
But
what
is
that?
One
of
the
things
that.
J
That
is
one
of
the
things
and
it's
both
our
folks
in
accs
and
the
provincial
guidelines,
so
that
there's
one
set
of
clear
requirements
for
applicants.
Okay,.
H
Thanks
third
question:
culture
shift
with
technology
and
with
a
great
term,
it's
true,
I
have
had
developers
and
applicants,
though
talk
to
me
about
how
much
they
loved
the
desk
and
going
in
and
speaking
to
across
the
street.
There
is
speaking
to
a
person
that
could
help
them
navigate
through.
So
are
we
still
going
to
retain
the
service
desk
idea
for
those
who
really
seem
to
love
it.
I
Yes,
and
thanks
for
the
question
absolutely
we
have
a
great
space
in
the
Services
Center
I
know
you
visited
there.
We
are
looking
at
a
different
model.
We
have
moved
to
an
appointment-based
model,
but
we
are
open
for
business.
If
people
walk
in,
we
have
staff
available
to
help
them
we're
encouraging
people
to
set
up
some
time
with
us,
so
we
can
ensure
we
have
the
right
people
there
to
respond
to
their
questions.
We're
also
looking
at
a
model
to
support
customers
who
are
dealing
with
challenging
applicants.
I
A
lot
of
our
homeowners
struggle
to
navigate
our
bylaws
and
regulations.
So
we're
looking
at
opportunities
to
have
sort
of
a
commercial
renovation
Center
day
or
a
residential
renovation
Center
day
to
bring
people
in
and
have
all
the
experts
across
the
Departments
that
support
permitting
there,
so
that
people
can
get
a
sort
of
a
fulsome
answer
and
approach
to
their
project.
So
yeah
great.
H
Thank
you.
You
can
see
the
next
questions
for
you
too
and
I
love.
The
comment
you
made
about
my
next
question
is:
are
on
risk
based
reviews
and
how
you
said.
Staff
are
always
concerned
about
doing
a
perfect
job.
That's.
G
H
A
great
attitude
to
have
actually
in
staff,
so
it's
I,
know
it's
a
balance
in
achieving
the
reduction
in
times
that
we
want.
So
you
said
that
we
are
looking
at
reducing
review
Times
by
80
due
to
risk
based
on
especially
on
risk-based
reviews.
What
are
the
biggest
risks
like?
What
are
the
risks
that
you're
I
guess
I
take
the
most
time
and
and
if
you
can
give
me
some
examples,
some
risks
that
you
think
are.
We
can
speed
up
in
terms
of
the
the
you
know:
processing
of
applications.
I
Yeah,
it's
a
great
question
just
in
the
example
that
we
showed
you
at
one
point:
we
were
looking
at
99
different
aspects
of
a
review
just
for
a
single
family
dwelling
and
we
reduce
that
down
to
I,
think
30
and
somewhere
in
the
30s.
So
I
think
those
reviews
are
just
a
culmination
of
reviews
over
time
so
being
challenged
on
a
certain
aspect
of
the
bylaw
and
then
realizing
okay.
We
better
look
at
that
because
if
we
don't
know.
A
Thank
you,
councilor
Meisner
thanks.
D
Mayor
first
question
is
for
Teresa
good
morning,
hey,
you
talked
a
bit
about
Charter
amendments
that
the
city
has
requested.
Do
we
have
a
timeline
on
when
we
can
expect
to
see
those
enacted.
J
I
do
not
I'm
thinking
what
I
understand
is.
Charter
amendments
usually
take
about
a
year
so
probably
next
spring,
given
a
lot
of
them
have
to
do
with
accelerating
housing,
we're
hoping
that
those
might
be
moved
along
a
little
more
quickly,
but
typically
it
takes
about
a
year.
Okay,.
D
Question
next
questions
for
Corey:
thanks
Teresa,
it's
about
the
in-person
meetings
and
appointments.
What's
the
demand
been
like
for
those
and
do
we
have
enough
capacity.
M
Yeah,
thank
you
for
the
question.
We
are
filling
up
for
appointment
base,
so
we
allocate
about
five
to
six
slots
per
day
for
people
to
come
in
and
that
is
often
identified
by
one
of
our
inquiry.
Center
officers.
If
it's
a
really
complex
application,
when
they
submit
their
application
through
the
portal,
they
can
either
request
an
appointment
at
that
time
or
if
the
inquiry
Center
officer
identifies
it
as
being
complex,
they
may
reach
out
and
ask
if
they'd
like
to
come
in
person.
Okay,.
D
Actually,
on
the
portal
I
have
heard
from
a
local
Builder,
pretty
active
on
Twitter
that,
when
they've
submitted
through
the
portal,
they
haven't
heard
back
with
an
acknowledgment
for
at
least
two
weeks,
so
I'm
just
wondering
what
that
process
looks
like.
Is
that
normal?
Is
it
automated
or
is
it
imagine.
M
Sorry,
thank
you
that
would
be
outside
of
our
current
timelines,
we're
usually
getting
back
to
people
within
two
days
right
now.
There
was
a
time
frame
when
we
were
down
five
inquiry
Center
officers.
Those
positions
have
now
been
filled,
so
they
should
see
a
response
coming
within
two
business
days.
Okay,.
D
So
two
business
days
is
the
target.
That's
that's
great
and
then
I
think.
That's
actually
all
my
questions.
Councilor
Carr
asked
a
few.
So
thanks
very
much.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Councilor
Frye.
N
Thanks
and
thank
you,
this
is
super
exciting
I
know
you
guys
must
be
really
excited
about
the
work
that's
been
going
into
this
and
compiling.
O
N
On
so
on,
the
there
was
a
SlideShare
about
customer
service,
training
for
all
DBL
staff
and
I'm
wondering
what
are
the
kind
of
kpis
for
that
or
the
any
kind
of
metrics.
What
is
what
is
it?
What
are
the
outcomes
of
that
kind
of
customer
service
approach
for
staff.
M
So
right
now,
I
think
that's
a
challenge
with
with
measuring
the
metrics
on
the
success
of
that
we
did
implement
it
departmental
worldwide
and
everybody
had
to
take
part
in
the
training.
So
we
were
tracking
who
had
taken
and
then
following
up
with
their
managers
if
they
had
not
I,
think
that
the
less
feedback
we
get
from
the
public
that's
negative
often
is
a
reflection
of
our
employees.
You
know
taking
that
customer
service
training
and
applying
it
to
their
day-to-day
tasks.
N
So
I
guess
one
of
the
things
that
we've
we've
heard
in
the
past
is
like
multiple
touch
points
with
different
departments
and
inspectors
and
plant
Checkers
and
yada,
yada
and
and
and
there's
various
even
kind
of
conversations
around
like
a
concierge
kind
of
model
and,
like
one
single
point,
to
sort
of
help
guide.
The
process
is
that
embedded
in
here
somehow
in
that
customer
service
model
or.
M
Yeah,
so
with
our
transition
to
electronic
Plan
reviews,
we
now
have
one
person
as
a
point
of
contact
that
will
liaise
with
the
customer
on
their
application,
as
opposed
to
multiple
departments
providing
them
with
information
and
feedback
on
their
applications.
So
we
have
streamlined
that
significantly
with
electronic
plan
review.
So.
N
Coordinated,
that's
fantastic,
the
other
piece
that
I'm
interested
in
on
slide
21.
N
There
was
a
real
distinction
around
the
the
the
the
the
unpermitted
stuff
and
then
the
the
more
sort
of
professional
designer
approach
and
and
so
I'm
curious.
How
we
is,
is
there
an
opportunity
to
better
tease
out
sort
of
who
who
are
the
professional
designers
and
because
it
seems
to
me
that
that
adds
to
a
lot
of
the
churn
is?
Is
people
who
are
coming
in
who
don't
necessarily
know
what
they're
doing
and
they
add
a
lot
more
workload
to
Crosser
departments?
I
We
don't
currently
have
a
program.
The
The
Savvy
applicants
tend
to
find
their
way
through
the
program
faster
because
they
know
how
to
get
through
the
system
faster.
They
know
how
to
submit
a
complete
application
so
just
by
nature
of
their
experience,
we
find
that
they're
moving
through
the
system
faster.
N
I
B
Yeah
thanks
and
thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation.
I
appreciate
it
and
I
really
appreciate
the
acknowledgment
around
the
fact
that
speed
adds
costs
and
delays
to
housing.
I
want
to
kind
of
delve
into
the
customer
service
piece
a
little
bit
more
and
there
was
comments
around
recognizing
the
tech
and
Equity
we're
offering
in-person
meetings
and
I'm
just
wondering
in
terms
of
a
councilor
Meister
touched
on
this
with
his
questions.
B
Why
we're
not
doing
that
for
all
services
and
sort
of
trying
to
make
appointments
more
broadly
available,
because
you
said
five
to
six
per
day.
So
what?
If
we
have
impediments
to
doing
that?
Because
I'm
thinking,
for
example,
the
customer
service
orientation,
you
have
the
Apple
store
right,
and
so
you
go
in
the
Apple,
Geniuses
and
they're
always
there,
and
the
idea
is
to
enable
people
to
be
comfortable
with
their
own
technology.
And
then
it
sort
of
pays
dividends
in
that
way.
B
M
So
thank
you
for
the
question
I
like
your
example
of
the
Apple
Store,
because
that
is
where
we
would
like
to
get
to
is
just
that
model
where
people
can
come
in
and
ask
questions
immediately.
We're
just
not
there.
Yet,
with
covid
and
shutting
down,
there's
been
a
big
transition
with
our
digital
technology
as
well.
M
B
Quicker
and
faster
for
somebody
to
be
able
to
touch
base
with
a
human
and
get
a
question
answered,
and
it
saves
the
African
time
it
says,
staff
time
why.
Why
would
we
not
push
to
do
that
more
quickly,
because
otherwise,
we're
sort
of
it
sounds
like
we're
just
perpetuating
and
we're
not
there?
Yet,
because
we
have
these
constraint
issues,
but
we
could
alleviate
the
constraints
if
we
could
make
that
some
of
that
faster
and
not
keep
that
work.
Backlogged.
M
Yeah,
so
they
do
have
the
ability
to
just
walk
in
now.
If
they
do
have
questions,
there's
staff
available
in
the
Services
Center
our
doors
aren't
closed,
but
it
has
taken
some
time
just
to
try
and
get
to
that
new
model
and
figure
out
how
we're
going
to
progress.
The
Services
Center
to
a
more
modern
approach.
Okay,.
B
M
I
could
pull
so
we
are
tracking
everybody.
That's
coming
in
I,
don't
have
that
information,
but
I
can
get
it
for
you,
but
it
we've
seen
a
significant
decrease
from
over
a
hundred
applicants
a
day
coming
into
the
Services
Center
and
we're
now
down
to
about
10
to
15
maximum
in
a
day.
M
M
B
It's
closed
and
saying:
hey
we're
open
and
you
can
come
in
okay,
I'd,
like
to
sort
of
that,
would
be
good
to
take
away
and
talk
more
about.
I
just
want
to
go
switch
gears
a
little
bit
and
on
the
sprinkler
example,
and
you
reference
some
of
the
intended
improvements,
hadn't
paid
dividends,
and
so
there
was
a
move
to
more
of
a
risk-based
approach
and
that
I
think
I'm,
reflecting
correctly,
if
that
you're,
finding
that
there's
not
sort
of
significant
issues
in
terms
of
checks
and
compliance.
B
So
in
terms
of
that
learning,
we're
looking
to
expand
a
risk-based
approach
more
broadly
again
across
other
functions,
Beyond
sprinkler,
because
we've
had
so
much
discussion
in
this
chamber
around
trust.
The
industry
trust
the
professional
experts.
Let's
not
have
City
staff
duplicate
and
sort
of
get
out
of
the
way,
but
it's
have
very
clear
guidelines.
M
Yeah,
thank
you
that
just
reflects
back
to
the
risk-based
approach.
We're
looking
at
is
that
what
we
can
rely
more
on
industry
for
all
streams
and
not
just
the
sprinkler,
but
for
all
of
our
permitting
streams.
M
B
M
That's
been
an
outstanding
piece
of
work
for
quite
some
time,
so
we're
hoping
to
accomplish
that
by
Q4
to
roll
out
a
model
that
is
net
new
for
industry,
for
the
other
streams,
we're
working
on
those
as
well
and
anticipate
something
later
this
year.
So
approximately
Q4
as
well.
M
Hearing
so
we've
already
managed
to
apply
it
to
our
low
density,
housing
stream.
So
right
now
we're
working
on
Renovations
that
stream
of
work
and
then
we're
also
so
for
commercial
and
residential
and
then
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
the
sprinkler
reviews.
So
that
would
be
three
independent
streams
by
Q4.
Okay,.
M
A
You're
on
time
time,
thank
you,
counselor
Joe,
yeah,.
E
Thanks
mayor
thanks
for
the
team,
this
is
exciting
work.
Thank
you
so
much.
My
question
is
so
you
know
we
heard
different
opinions
from
the
community.
We
work,
you
know
we
we
wait
for
15
months.
Some
people
wait
for
20
months.
What
is
our
current
wait
time?
I
still
didn't
see
this
from
this
presentation.
I
Yeah
thanks
thanks
for
the
question,
so
we
will
be
bringing
that
information
to
Council
in
July.
We
will
be
providing
information
on
the
digital
transformation
plan,
as
well
as
the
data
and
analytics
dashboard.
That
Council
will
be
able
to
begin
using
later
this
year.
E
That's
actually
my
second
question,
so
all
those
process-
Maps
you
have
this
in
this
presentation.
They
are
manually
tracking
right.
E
Yeah,
okay,
so
that
means
in
the
in
by
the
Target
long
for
Q3
2023.
Are
we
able
to
pull
out
all
this
information
electronically.
E
With
the
raw
data
behind
the
dashboard
also
available,
yes,
okay,
the
other
question
is
there
any
plan
to
provide
trainings
the
lean
or
60
month,
training
trainings
to
other
staffs?
We
do
have
to
be
certified
as
a
black
belt
or
green
belt.
K
I
E
Thanks
and
also
it's
good
to
have
this
digital
technology
and
the
analytic
functions
to
support
this
work.
So
my
question
is:
when
we
have
all
these
amazing
tools,
we
need
to
have
a
very
strong
Department
to
support
Analytics,
to
use
this
information
to
support
decision
making.
So
is
there
any
plan
to
create
analytic
functions
to
support
all
this
work.
O
Within
our
tech
services
team
have
a
data
analytics
team
that
that
is
working
on
this
as
well
I
think
you
asked
a
great
question
about
whether
we
need
to
expand
additional
resources
or
potentially
embed
those
in
in
operating
departments
like
Development,
building
and
Licensing.
So
that's
a
question
that
we're
going
to
have
to
continue
to
address
over
time,
but
we
do
have
a
dedicated
group
of
folks
within
tech
services
that
does
data
analytics.
So.
O
E
Yeah
thanks,
so
you
know
my
only
concern
is
we
have
this
amazing
tools.
We
need
to
have
the
person
to
use
that
tools.
You
know
it's
not
like.
We
have
the
tools
there
we
go.
We
have.
We
have
everything.
No,
it
is
very,
you
know
robust
process.
We
need
to
provide
some
resource
to
support
that
on
an
ongoing
basis.
E
Okay,
thanks
the
Young
other
question
is
again
related
to
analytics,
so
there
are
different
levels
of
analytics,
so
starting
from
the
bottom
is
the
prescriptive
analytics
and
then
diagnostic
analytics
and
then
predictive
and
then
the
prescriptive
analytics.
So
the
higher
the
level
is
the
more
complex
but
the
more
value
added
to
the
organization.
So
it
looks
like
we
are
still
at
a
very
bottom
level:
yes
yeah
the
descriptive.
So
what
is
our
plan
to
move
to
that
level?
So
it
could
provide
more
value
to
the
end
user.
I
Yeah,
so
again,
thanks
for
the
question
again,
we
are
very
early
stages
in
this
in
this
program,
which
is
largely
a
function
of
our
current
technology,
but
we
have
a
great
partnership
with
technology
services
and
DBL
to
evolve.
The
program
I
think
to
answer
your
question
we
are,
we
will
be
reporting
back
to
Council
in
July,
with
more
detail
on
the
digital
transformation
program
and
what
that
looks
like
and
what
the
Milestones
are,
as
well
as
a
look
into
the
dashboard
and
and
getting
your
feedback
on
how
we
can
improve
that
over.
E
Time:
okay,
thanks
how
much
time
I
have
here:
okay,
30
seconds
yeah,
so
the
other
question
so
I
heard
there's
always
additional
issue
at
the
last
minute.
You
know
because
of
the
guidelines
not
very
clear,
and
what
is
our
plan
to
address
that
issue?.
I
I
A
Very
much
counselor
Bly
thanks.
L
Very
much
and
similar
to
others
thanks
so
much
for
this
is
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
and
clearly
laid
out
in
this
presentation.
I
just
have
a
couple
of
questions
that
haven't
already
been
asked
and
one
is
related
to
and
if
you
could
just
summarize,
ongoing
engagement,
I've
heard
really
great
things
about
the
round
tables
and
the
way
industry
has
sort
of
been
engaged
along
the
process
and
developing
this
work
plan
and
the
various
recommendations,
be
it
Renovations,
small
development
applications
or
larger
ones.
L
I
Yeah
so
yeah
thanks
for
the
question
yeah,
it
is
critical.
We
acknowledge
that
I
think
leading
up
to
to
the
pandemic.
We
were
a
lot
better
at
engaging
with
our
industry
Partners
over
time.
I
think
just
a
function
of
our
just
sheer
volume
of
work
that
we
we
were
trying
to
deal
with.
We
lost
that
relationship
to
some
degree,
so
we
totally
acknowledge
that
and
I
think
this
is
our
opportunity
to
really
include
them
in
this
process
and
and
help
them
have
a
sense
of
ownership
over
over
the
outcomes
as
well
so
yeah.
L
L
L
The
second
question
I
have,
and
so
I
really
see
our
role
at
Council
to
work
in
partnership
with
staff,
as
we
improve
this
whole
permitting
issue
that
we're
dealing
with
and
it's
been
ongoing.
As
we
all
know
where
I'm
looking
in
this
presentation
is
for
what
council
can
expect
in
terms
of
deliverables
and
I,
see
some
dates,
particularly
towards
the
end
of
the
presentation.
I.
L
L
And
what
can
Council
expect
so
that
we
don't
get
into
the
weeds,
allow
staff
to
do
what
your
best
in
the
world
of
doing,
which
is
working
through
this
process
and
allow
us
to
sort
of
maintain
our
role
as
in
partners
and
making
sure
we're
able
to
deliver
on
those
timelines.
I
Yeah
thanks,
that's
a
really
great
point
and
yeah:
we
do.
We
don't
want
to
over
commit
and
then
not
deliver.
So
it
is
great
feedback
and
I
think
it's
something
we
can
take
away
and
provide
counsel
with
more
sort
of
refined,
update
on
where
the
where
we
are
with
these
targets.
I
I
think
it's
as
as
I
talked
about
it's
a
very
iterative
process.
So
often
we
come
up
against
a
roadblock
and
then
we
have
to
reset
and
and
try
and
re
refigure
out
what
that
estimated
timeline
is
so
yeah
we'll
we'll
take
that
feedback
away
and
let
you
know
and
give
you
more
sort
of
detailed
timelines
that
you
can
respond
to.
Okay,.
L
Okay
and
maybe
I,
have
one
more
I
said:
I
had
two
but
I
have
three
questions,
one
of
the
goals
that
we
have
here
and
it's
aspirational,
perhaps
in
in
some
ways,
but
it's
around
this
3331
right
as
an
objective
in
terms
of
delivering
permitting
based
on
whatever
development
applications
coming
in
I.
Wonder
in
that
future,
those
future
updates,
if
we
could
have
a
finer
Point
put
on
how
whatever
those
actions
are
that
are
being
outlined
in
that
Progressive
plan
gets
us
closer
to
that
goal.
Okay,.
C
L
In
which
way,
and
by
when
really
I
think
would
be
helpful
information
again,
ensuring
that
we
stay
out
of
the
weeds
and
allow
you
to
do
the
work
that
you
need
to
do
and
us
be
able
to
track
how
we're
doing
in
like
right
now,
our
right
now
the
buy
when
for
most
of
this
planet
appear
to
be
up
until
q420,
sorry,
q1
2024.
L
So
then
tying
that
back
to
3331
and
how
much
further
we're
going
to
be
at
that
point
than
we
are
now
in
more
of
a
aspirational
goal
would
be
a
helpful
insight
and
when
we
get
these
further
updates
great
okay
thanks.
Thank
you
appreciate
the
feedback
thanks
very
much.
P
P
P
The
language
I
saw
in
the
report
was
that
staff
won't
be
doing
as
detailed
a
review
of
parking
on
I
think
on
private
development.
So
maybe
you
can
just
update
me
on
where
that
work
is
at.
G
Sure,
good
morning,
Lon
Leclair
general
manager
of
Engineering
Services
when
we're
looking
at
what
we're
doing
in
terms
of
our
current
review
of
work.
G
One
of
the
areas
that
we
put
a
lot
of
effort
into
was
actually
reviewing
parking
plans
and
actually,
what
we're
talking
about
is
scaling
back
our
review,
our
review
and
allowing
the
responsibility
to
lie
more
with
the
applicant,
and
so
that's
similar
to
the
many
of
the
risk-based
approaches
that
we're
taking
where
we
we
try
we're
not
trying
to
kind
of
like
do
their
work
for
them,
but
to
actually
let
them
do
their
work
related
to
policy
on
parking
minimums
and
maximums.
That's
a
different,
that's
a
different
exercise.
G
So
our
teams
right
now
are
looking
at
eliminating
parking
minimums
in
the
Broadway
Corridor
in
certain
areas
where
we're
feeling
that
similar
to
the
downtown,
where
we've
already
done
it,
that
it's
a
low
risk
outcome.
If
we
reduce
those
aluminums,
reduce
the
the
requirements
or
eliminate
the
minimums,
but
we're
also
looking
at
where
introducing
maximums
would
be
a
good
idea
as
well,
so
that
that
work
is
underway.
It's
not
it's
not
part
of
this.
P
Okay
and
then
related
to
that
there
was
another
point
in
the
presentation
about
streamlining
or
moving
away
from
Transportation
demand
management
tools
and
I
guess.
I'm
I'm
then
also
wondering
how
that,
within
the
permitting
streamlining
fits
with
upcoming
work
around.
G
That
that
does
fit
with
this
work,
just
because
the
well
we
did
our
our
approach
to
Transportation
demand
management
has
been
to
allow
the
applicant
a
lot
of
different
options
for
how
they
could
reduce
parking
requirements.
It
was
almost
like
the
smorgasborder
they
could
pick
from
a
menu.
I
can
do
this
or
I
could
do
that
or
I
could
do
that,
and
what
we've
found
is
that
most
applicants
choose
the
same
things,
so
it's
actually
just
simplifying
and
kind
of
almost
turning
it
more
into
a
requirement.
G
You
know
just
to
get
to
this
parking
minimum.
This
is
what
you
do
as
opposed
to
providing
too
many
options
and
choice.
We
thought
that
was
a
good
idea,
but
in
in
practice
it
it's
simpler
for
us
to
just
make
simple
requirements
right.
P
Okay,
glad
that
we
tried
that
and
learned
from
it
and
are
moving
forward
great.
That's
that's
a
really
helpful
update
thanks.
My
only
other
question
on
the
on
the
urbaning
specifically
is
I'm
I'm
curious.
If
there
are,
if
any
of
this
work
relates
to
non-market
housing
or
if
there
are
ways
in
which
it
will
allow
for
more
staff
time
on
you
know,
are
there
benefits
for
speeding
up
the
non-market
housing?
We
also
know
we
need
so
much
of.
I
So
thank
you
for
the
question,
so
we
do
have
our
our
short
program,
which
is
evolving,
so
we
do
have
a
program
where
we
do
prioritize,
affordable
housing.
So,
yes,
that
exists
and
we're
using
that
program
to
scale
to
other
permitting
types
as
well.
But
yes,
there
is
there
is
that
mechanism
available
and
it
will
benefit
from
all
of
the
work.
A
Thank
you
very
much
counselor
Clawson
thank.
Q
First
of
all,
before
I
get
into
sort
of
other
remarks
and
questions
I
just
wanted
to
State,
just
because
there
was
a
comment
made
about
the
Vancouver,
Charter
changes
and
and
working
with
the
province.
Q
So
just
here
for
the
public
record,
I
I
know
that
Minister,
kalon
and
Premier
EB
have
been
talking
about
how
they've
found
our
collaborative
approach
here
in
the
city
and
hoping
that
they
will
take
heart
that
getting
some
of
these
changes
made
into
the
charter
happening
sooner
and
later
will
help
us
all,
including
their
objective,
around
increasing
the
amount
of
new
housing
being
built.
Q
Just
with
regard
to
this
project,
I
want
to
first
of
all,
just
State
outright
I
can
see
how
much
work
has
gone
under
the
hood
on
this
one.
This
has
been
an
incredible
cross-department
effort,
so
hats
off
to
all
of
you.
The
video
was
really
a
nice
touch
as
well
today
to
see
that.
So.
Thank
you
very
much
for
all
of
that,
and
I
also
wanted
just
to
note
that
you've
responded
to
council
very
well
well
in,
in
the
sense
that
we
are
asking
you
to
take
risks
to
push
the
envelope.
Q
A
little
bit
just
want
to
ask
about
the
orchestar
implementation,
except
for
q124.
Do
you
have
a
kind
of
a
best
guess
at
how
long
before
you
start
to
see
whether
it's
successful
enough
and
can
be
pushed
into
a
single
family
and
other
other
types
of
housing.
I
C
I
Outset,
just
how
quickly
they
were
able
to
take
our
rules
and
digitize
them
and
then
create
this
3D
model,
so
I
think
we're
very
optimistic,
I
think
it's
early
days,
we've
just
brought
them
on
so
I
know.
The
team
is
already
actively
working
on
that
I
think
we'll
probably
better
be
be
better
positioned
to
answer
that
by
by
end
of
August
just
so,
we
have
a
sense
of
what
the
program
looks
like
in
the
timeline
and
the
capacity
of
the
team
to
deliver
on
this.
I
But
yeah
to
your
point,
we
will
provide
you
with
a
better
estimate
and
a
better
timeline.
I
just
can't
do
that
today.
Q
Thank
you
very
much
just
from
an
operational
standpoint.
It
feels
like
that
staff
time
is
going
to
be
shifted
in
very
positive
ways,
freeing
up
a
time
that
might
have
been
used
on
other
other
processes.
How
do
you
envision?
How
that
some
of
that
staff
time
could
be
reallocated.
I
Yeah,
it's
a
great
question,
one
that
we
talk
about
all
the
time
we
a
lot
of
the
staff
time
is
spent
on
work
that
would
be
better
suited
to
more
complex
work
is
what
they
do
it's
their
day-to-day,
but
the
opportunities
are
Limitless
in
terms
of
simplifying
this
work
and
as
we
get
exposed
to
more
and
more
to
technology
that
becomes
more
evident,
our
timelines
alone,
there
will
always
be
work
to
do
for
staff.
I
So
using
this
automated
approach,
you
know
we
don't
foresee
that
implicating
staff
for
some
time,
but
yeah
it
is
going
to
be
a
huge
shift
and
a
cultural
shift,
which
is
what
we're
really
dealing
with
right
now.
Q
Thank
you
I'm
just
curious
we're.
It
seems
that
we're
reducing
the
number
of
types
of
zoning,
certainly
with
the
with
the
RS
changes.
Q
We
have
a
number
of
existing
Community
plans
that
dictate
the
types
of
housing
the
types
of
how
we
can.
We
can
shape
and
build
our
communities,
but
some
of
those
those
plans
are
quite
dated
right
now,
I'm
wondering
if
there's
any
sort
of
thought
about
how
we
might
start
kind
of
either
reviewing
those
the
ones
that
are
certainly
20
years
or
more
old.
That
might
not
be
as
responsive
to
the
needs
of
today's
communities.
J
That's
a
great
question,
particularly
those
visions
and
I've,
asked
Paula
and
the
team
working
on
missing
middle
to
see
if
we
can't
be
prepared
to
bring
those
two
Council
when
we
bring
missing
middle
in
the
fall
to
Sunset
divisions,.
Q
Right
and
I
just
I
hear
this
might
be
another
question
for
you:
Teresa
I
hear
sometimes
that
our
requirements
are
on
Landscaping
that
sometimes
can
drag
out.
This
sort
of
finalization
of
of
getting
a
housing
construction
process
completed
might
be
a
little
bit
of
Overkill.
Are
we
looking
at
things
like
that?
Knowing
that
once
the
job
is
done,
somebody
could
rip
out
a
tree
and
put
or
a
bush
or
a
plant
or
something
like
that
and
change
it
overnight.
I'm
just
I'm
wondering
because
I
just
hear
that
frequently
from
home
builders.
H
Okay,
that's
great
so
back
to
Andrea,
that's
where
we've
had
left
off,
which
was,
on
the
large
sorry
reviewing
times
reduced
by
80.
Doing
your
risk-based
reviews
around
the
risk-based
reviews,
I'm
really
curious
about
what
the
risks
are,
what
some
of
the
risks
are
that
are
taking
the
most
time
just
give
me
a
couple
examples
of
what
are
some
of
the
risks
that
you're
looking
at
that?
Don't
take,
so
you
can't
much
time
so
you
can
kind
of
simplify
them.
I
Okay,
just
a
quick
thanks
for
the
question.
One
thing
that
comes
to
mind
is:
is
Staff
reviewing
staircases
internally
in
homes,
so
this
is
something
we
should
be
relying
on
industry.
These
are
manufactured
in
industry
and
staff
would
be
reviewing
the
rise
in
the
Run
of
a
staircase,
that's
leading
from
a
basement
to
the
main
floor
of
a
home.
Those
are
things
we
don't
need
to
be
looking
at.
So
it's
just
a
really
simple
example,
but
we
had
you
know
we
had
over
100
reviews
that
we
were
doing
so.
H
I
I
H
For
example,
with
climate
objectives
and
and
getting
to
that
near
zero,
carbon
emissions
is
that
I
have
heard
from
some
builders
that
they
are.
You
know
they're
struggling
with
some
of
the
aspects
of
implementing
that
in
their
large
buildings,
yeah.
I
So
that
would
be
an
example
of
something
that
would
land
as
a
development
permit
condition
on
a
development
permit
that
they
would
have
to
demonstrate
how
they're
going
to
achieve
that
outcome
prior
to
getting
a
development
permit
issued.
So
the
the
question
is:
is
that
the
right
tool
is
there
another
tool
that
we
could
use
to
achieve
that
same
outcome?
I,
don't
have
the
answer
to
that,
but
I
think
it's
an
opportunity
to
explore
like.
H
Passive
Health
standard
does
certification
itself
too
anyway,
so,
okay,
yeah
great,
you
also
talked
about
eliminating
158
conditions
or
23
of
the
total.
On
those
examples
of
eliminating
a
condition.
I
Yeah
yeah
I
think
just
very
simple
things
and
I
don't
want
to
throw
engineering
under
the
buses
here,
but
conditions
such
as
heated
towel,
racks
and
underground
parking
for
bicycle
parking.
So
things
like
changing
rooms,
just
really
getting
into
the
details
of
projects
where
we
don't
need
to
be
inside
of
people's
homes
inside
of
people's
Living
Spaces
conditions,
where
we
really
shouldn't
be
making
them
a
requirement
of
a
permitting
wow
at.
H
The
end
of
the
day,
the
towelrox,
okay,
sorry,
lime,
honestly
I've
had
no
idea,
Water
Management,
so
you're
shifting
it
to
the
Vancouver
busy
building
bylaw
is
does
that
refer
to
Green
roofs
as
well.
The
planting
of
Ruth.
I
H
J
No,
we
have
a
new
name,
but
I,
don't
think
we
have
released
our
new
brand
brand.
Yet
so
yes,.
A
Very
much
counselor
Kirby
Young.
E
Yeah
thanks
so
talking
about
the
wait
times
so
I
can
highlighted
related
to
my
previous
experience
in
healthcare
and
Hospital
management.
I
think
I
saw
a
very
similar
challenge.
You
know
for
a
patients
waiting
for
medical
service,
so
my
question
here
is:
do
we
have
a
standard
definition
about
waitang?
I
So
we
do
have
an
internal
tracking
system
in
our
permitting
database,
so
that
does
it
does
trigger
when
an
action
starts
and
stops.
The
challenge
we
have
is
it's
not
being
used
consistently
across
the
organization
or
even
departments?
So
it's
really
difficult
to
pull
out
that
data.
To
say
this
is
the
actual
estimated
timeline
for
this
piece
of
work.
Okay,.
E
So
I
strongly
recommend
we
have
a
standard
definition.
We
talk
about
the
same
language,
otherwise
you
know
people
comparing
Apple
to
Orange.
It
doesn't
help
us
to
improve
the
wait
time
situation
and
we
need
to
publish
that
definition,
so
the
people
in
the
community.
They
know
that
as
well.
So
because
that's
I
think
to
me:
that's
the
first
starting
point
talking
about
the
wait
time.
We
need
to
have
a
standard
definition
and
then
report
it.
So
that's
my
comments
here.
Thank.
I
E
Wholly
recommend,
you
know
highly
recommend.
We
can
consider
that.
Okay,
the
other
questions
I,
saw
the
Lindley
house
plan
very
good
using
that
technology
and
the
software.
So
is
there
an
implant
to
expand
out
to
other
types
of
housing?
Absolutely.
I
So
initially
we
we
are
looking
at
laneway
because
it
is
a
fairly
simple
repeatable
permit
process.
So
we
want
to
demonstrate
that
we
can
do
this
in
a
repeatable
fashion,
identify
where
they,
where
there's
opportunities
to
improve
it,
it's
a
less
discretionary
of
all
of
our
permitting
programs,
so
it
seemed
like
a
good
place
to
start.
But
yes,
the
plan
is
to
then
scale
that
to
other
permit
types.
E
A
You
that's
all
my
question
thanks!
Thank
you,
counselor
Joe,
so
clerk
I
guess
I
have
to
see
the
term
counselor
fry
okay.
So
there
is
no
report
or
recommendations
for
this
item
and
before
moving
on
to
the
next
agenda
item,
I
do
have
a
motion
that
I'd
like
to
bring
to
the
floor.
I've
submitted
this
to
the
clerks.
So
if
we
can,
please
bring
it
up
on
the
screen.
A
Great,
so,
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
context,
I
do
think
it's
super
important
that
Council.
As
you
know,
our
role
is
to
provide
the
vision
for
where
we
want
to
go
and
then
help
our
team
members
out
with
resources
to
make
it
happen.
So
this
is
just
to
be
super
clear,
providing
that
Vision.
So
we
have
clear
line
of
sight
and
goal
posts.
A
So
the
motion
is
it's
going
to
be
moved
by
me,
we'll
get
a
secondary
and
a
set
whole
Fleet,
but
it's
like
Council
adopta,
3331
yeah,
three
three
through
one
permit
approval
framework
to
help
eliminate
the
city's
housing
construction
backlog,
increase
the
supply
of
market
non-market
and
Supportive
Housing
with
permit
approval
time
targets
as
follows:
three
days
to
approve
home
renovation
permits,
including
renovations
to
accommodate
mobility
and
accessibility,
related
challenges.
A
Three
weeks
to
approve
single-family,
home
and
town
home
permits
three
months
to
approve
permits
for
a
professionally
designed,
multi-family
and
mid-rise
projects
where
existing
zoning
is
already
in
place
and
one
year
to
approve
permits
for
a
high-rise
or
large-scale
project
and
further
that
team
members
be
directed
to
bring
forward.
Regular
update
reports
to
council,
based
on
the
3331,
permit
approval
framework
to
keep
Council
apprised
of
progress
towards
achieving
the
Frameworks
3331,
permit
approval
timelines
and
benchmarks,
and
for
these
update
reports
to
be
brought
forward
on
a
semi-annual
basis.
Ad
sorry.
At
a
minimum.
N
Seconded
by
councilor
Kirby
young
and
then
we
can
move
over
to
an
amendment,
queue
sure
awesome.
So
in
queue,
sorry,
anyone
to
speak
to
this
Council
Kirby
young.
B
Yeah,
thank
you.
Attiever
yeah,
no
I'm
I'm
really
happy
to
see
this
formally
brought
forward.
It's
no
surprise
that
we
have
been
speaking
for
a
long
time
about
the
importance
of
simplifying
and
regulations
and
Expediting
housing.
We
heard
from
our
director
planning
this
morning
that
delays
add
cost
and
complexity
and
I'm
paraphrasing
but
I
think
fairly
accurately
to
the
process
and
that
the
complexity
of
the
regulations
and
the
delays
have
become
untenable.
B
We
can
have
had
a
lot
of
conversation
around
publishing
the
data
about
sort
of
daylighting,
similar
to
daylighting
a
stream
getting
a
line
of
sight
into
what
the
current
timelines
are
and
what
they
look
like.
But
what
people
need-
and
we
hear
from
industry,
whether
it's
the
small
individual
folks
that
are
renovating
a
single-family
home
or
a
large
project-
is
predictability
around
understanding
what
the
process
looks
like.
B
But
it's
also
in
terms
of
planning
the
outcome
and
the
time,
and
so
I
think
that
this
is
a
is
a
really
speaks
to
the
spirit
of
that
and
I'm
very
happy
to
support
it,
because
we
need
to
do
make
things
simpler
and
faster.
It
provides
so
many
more
opportunities
for
us
to
get
out
of
this
Quagmire
spending
time
on
processing
and
starting
to
think
about
really
smart
policy.
B
That's
actually
going
to
deliver
the
type
of
housing
that
we
need
in
responding
to
a
lot
of
the
challenges
that
are
we're
seeing
the
macro
environment
with
respects
to
increased
inflationary
costs,
the
supply
chain
issues,
ETC
and
the
city
wants
to
kind
of
be
part
of
the
solution
here.
So
I
think
we
need
to
be
bold.
I
really
appreciate
the
updates
from
staff
this
morning
with
respects
to
digitization
again
I
think
we
can
be
bolder
there
and
putting
that
out.
I've
watched
a
number
of
those
ASP
different
Tech
Solutions
several
years
ago
and
I
know.
B
Staff
commented
are
Blown
Away
about
the
speed
with
which
they
can
do
things
they
can.
Now
it's
really
it's
actually
not
the
technology
that
slows
it
down.
It's
the
offline
component
around
getting
all
of
the
existing
information
into
the
system
around
what
our
zoning
is
and
putting
in
all
that
data.
So
when
you
click
on
that
map
and
you
bring
it
up
and
it's
got
the
sort
of
zoning
schedule
and
the
allowable
density,
all
that
information
is
there.
B
So
if
we
streamline
our
information,
so
we
have
less
that
we
need
to
put
in
in
the
first
place,
then
we
can
make
it
faster.
So
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
flexibility
to
staff,
I'll
sort
of
conclude
by
saying
how
we
get
there,
but
council's
job
is
to
really
say
that,
for
this
Administration
this
is
a
number
one.
Priority
is
to
move
housing
forward
better
faster
and
get
those
units
delivered.
Thank
you.
E
Okay,
there
we
go
okay,
yeah
thanks,
I'm,
also
so
glad
to
see
this
3331
policy
has
been
adopted
in
this
amendment,
which
provides
really
the
right
direction
and
target
for
this
very
complex
issue.
In
the
midst
of
the
housing
crisis,
Expediting
the
permitting
process
becomes
even
more
critical
quickly.
Approving
the
permits
for
new
housing
developments
can
help
address.
E
The
pricing
need
for
affordable
housing
options
by
reducing
the
time
it
takes
to
obtain
the
permits
we
can
accelerate
and
the
constructions
of
the
much
needed
housing
units
and
provide
relief
to
individuals
and
families
facing
housing,
insecurity,
speeding
up
the
permitting
process
of
loss
developers
to
respond
more
efficiently
to
the
demand,
increasing
the
housing,
Supply
and
potentially
stabilizing
the
housing
prices.
Additionally,
I
think
a
streamlined
process
could
encourage
investment
in
our
housing
sectors,
attracting
developers
and
promoting
economic
growth.
E
The
city's
financial
situation
could
also
be
improved,
but
you
know
with
a
quicker
turnaround
time
for
the
permitting
process,
because
we
all
know
the
CEC,
the
DCL
other
fees.
So
it
is
the
policy
that
we
could
see
positive
impact
on
every
single
residence
in
Vancouver
I.
Think
by
taking
this
proactive
approach
to
Expediting
the
building
permits,
we
can
mix
significant
progress
in
alleviating
the
housing
crisis
and
improving
the
quality
of
life
for
our
community
members.
E
L
Thanks
very
much
so
just
to
add
and
not
repeat
what
we've
heard
of
great
comments
from
councilor,
Curry,
young
and
Council
Joe
so
far
is
just
to
say
that
thank
you
to
staff
for
the
tremendous
work
and
I
really
do
feel
a
an
energy
behind
the
belief
that
we
can
make
this
better
and
I
think
that
that
might
have
been
wavering
in
years
past
and
so
really
recognizing
that
by
moving
this
amendment
forward,
it's
creating
an
aspirational
goal,
an
aspirational
vision
for
all
of
us
to
be
working
in
Partnership
to
get
there
and
really
at
the
end
of
the
day.
L
That's
what
I
see
this
as
it
may
feel
daunting
at
times,
because
we're
a
long
ways
off
from
what
is
outlined
in
this
amendment
and
yet
without
some
sort
of
clear
specific
goal.
It's
very
difficult
to
know
how
progress
is
made
and
the
effect
and
impact
it's
having.
So
it's
great
to
get
this
on
the
record.
L
We
know
that
this
was
a
big
piece
of
the
the
the
election
and
the
challenges
related
to
permitting
that
we
heard
about
over
the
course
of
the
last
couple
of
years
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
get
there
unless
we
are
doing
exactly
what
we've
done
this
morning,
which
is
asking
questions
getting
updates
and
engaging
in
this
and
making
it
a
top
of
Mind
conversation
at
every
opportunity,
as
we
go
forward
over
the
next
couple
of
years.
L
So
just
tremendous
gratitude
towards
staff
for
all
of
the
efforts
of
both
engaging
community
and
the
commitment
to
this
work,
and
particularly
cross-departmental
efforts
under
the
leadership
of
Andrea
law
and
everybody
involved
in
every
Department.
That
has
those
departments.
So
I
appreciate
that
and
happy
to
support.
Q
Or
at
least
oh
there
thanks
very
much.
Thank
you.
First
of
all,
again
repeating
what
I
said
earlier
on.
This
is
a
really
I
think
important
place
where
we've
arrived
with
all
the
work
the
staff
have
taken
to
get
to
this
place,
so
I
want
to
just
you
know,
repeat
what
I
think
most
of
us
know
that
the
cost
of
housing
in
any
kind
of
building
development
is
based
upon
labor
materials,
the
cost
of
financing
and,
of
course,
time
and
time
is
the
one
piece.
Q
That's
that
we
have
some
effect
over
here
at
City
Hall,
so
I
think
that
our
ability
to
reduce
that
time
is.
Q
It
really
is
an
important
signal
that
we
should
be
sending,
and
today's
presentation
made
it
clear
to
us
that
this
really
is
a
two-way
street.
This
is
every
application,
is
a
partnership
between
the
work
the
city
hall
does
in
in
addition
to
what
the
applicant
and
how
they
respond
and
they're
responsible
for
for
their
own,
their
own
timing.
Q
We
were
told
when
we
proposed
months
ago
that
we
would
try
and
do
this
3331
framework
that
it
wasn't
possible
by
many,
but
we
were
hearing
today
that
we're
hearing
huge
shifts
huge
reductions
in
the
timing
and
processing
for
permitting
thanks
to
staff's
work
and
I,
think
that
we
can
get
here
and
we're,
of
course,
going
to
be
able
to
do
that
by
letting
staff
do
what
they
do
best
and
applying
new
technology.
But
I
want
to
again
thank
them
very
much
and
and
thank
the
mayor
for
bringing
the
331
3331
initiative
board.
Q
N
Counselor
Classen
counselor
Meisner.
D
Thank
you,
Council
fry
yeah
I'd
like
to
also
echo
my
colleagues
gratitude
to
staff
for
all
the
hard
work
you've
done.
I
know
that's
a
massive
project
and
I'm
very
excited
about
some
of
the
technological
innovations,
especially
the
Arches
Star
platform.
That
looks
amazing
I.
Think
that's
really
going
to
make
a
massive
difference.
D
I
mean
our
primary
focus,
as
everyone
knows,
since
we've
been
in
office,
is
to
deliver
more
housing
faster.
We
fully
recognize
the
housing
crisis
that
we're
in
and
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
move
housing
along
and
I.
D
Think
this
amendment
is
a
really
important
part
of
that
again,
as
some
of
the
counselors
have
mentioned,
to
Daylight
the
progress
towards
achieving
these
goals
with
specific
data,
so
we
can
see
how
we're
doing
and
how
how
we
get
there
so
I'm
very
supportive
of
this
motion
to
make
more
progress
towards
our
goal
of
3331
to
speed
up
the
delivery
of
new
housing
and
build
a
really
solid
base
that
we
can
work
from
to
deliver
more
housing
in
Vancouver
faster.
D
N
Thanks
counselor
Meisner
next
on
the
cue
counselor
Boyle.
P
Thanks
I
have
a
question
as
a
point
of
information
through
you
chair,
two
staff,
which
is
I'm
wondering
there's
been
lots
of
big
picture
discussion
about
this.
It's
an
aspirational
goal.
O
So
maybe
I
can
take
a
cut
at
that
on
behalf
of
the
team.
You
know
these
are
targets,
I
think
they're.
Clearly
framed
as
that
you
know.
At
this
stage
we
don't
have
a
full
Pathway
to
say
this
is
how
we
can
get
to
each
of
these
targets,
but
clearly
what
council
we
would
interpret.
This
is
Council
setting
the
bar
and
we'll
continue
to
work
towards
these
targets
and
report
back,
as
has
been
suggested
here
in
terms
of
that
progress.
So
you.
P
Know
I
appreciate
that
I
have
a
follow-up
question
to
that
which
is
I'm
wondering
if
staff
anticipate
any
unintended
consequences
and
particularly
I'm
wondering
projects
that
don't
fit
into
these
categories.
P
Would
they
be
slowed
down
because
of
an
a
focus
on
on
home
renovations
and
projects
that
fit
into
existing
zoning?
Are
we
likely
to
see
a
longer
wait
time
for
more
complex
projects
or
or
larger
side
projects
or
non-market
projects?
O
Thanks
to
the
chair
for
the
question
again,
I
think
those
types
of
potential
unintended
consequences
with
things
that
we
would
be
bringing
back
here
to
council
that
if
there
are
trade-off
decisions
to
be
made,
that
may
not
be
fully
apparent
right
now,
we'll
do
our
best
to
surface
those.
So
we
can
get
Council
Direction
on
that.
Okay,.
O
We
will
do
that
I
think
we
are
we're
cognizant
of
those
types
of
things
there.
There
may
be
significant
policy
trade-offs
in
here
as
well
for
Council
to
make
an
order
to
allow
enable
us
to
hit
these
kind
of
targets.
Those
would
definitely
be
things
would
be
able
to
bring
back
okay
along
those
lines.
P
Okay
appreciate
that
so
certainly
appreciate
hearing
from
colleagues
and
in
and
staff
in
the
language
that
this
is
a
goal.
I
think
we
all
share
the
goal
of
of
speeding
up
our
own
processes
to
deliver
more
housing
I.
P
Unsurprisingly,
one
of
my
concerns
is
the
impact
that
this
could
have
on
as
I
said
projects
that
aren't
listed
here.
So
thinking
about
non-market
and
social
housing
projects
in
particular,
but
also
larger,
complex
projects
like
like
the
Jericho
lands
or
or
big
important
efforts
that
are
going
to
be
more
complicated
than
here,
and
hopefully
the
result
is
if
we,
if
we
speed
up
these
types
of
projects,
we
have
more
staff
time
for
those,
but
that
that
is
one
of
the
unintended
consequences.
P
I'm
conscious
of
and
the
other
thing
I
will
name
again
is
a
bit
of
a
broken
record.
Is
that
permitting
is
one
piece
of
our
work,
but
changing
zoning
is
a
hugely
important
piece
too
and
I
note.
P
The
amendment
here
says
that
we'll
be
looking
at
a
faster,
permitting
timeline
where
existing
zoning
is
already
in
place,
but
our
existing
zoning
is
one
of
the
problems
in
terms
of
our
housing
crisis
and
we
aren't
going
to
solve
the
problem
without
changing
that
existing
zoning,
so
I
hope
that
is
equally
on
our
radar
and
equally
a
priority
for
this
Council.
P
N
Counselor
Boyle
counselor
Carr.
H
Thanks
well,
I
have
some,
if
possible,
points
of
information
through
you
to
staff,
sure
great,
so
staff.
First
of
all,
how
close
are
we
to
these
timelines?
I
mean,
for
example,
three
days
to
approve
a
home
rental
permit
like?
Where
are
we
at
right
now
in
terms
of
how
long
it
takes
to
do
a
home
rental
and
do
and
does
it
vary
according
to
the
types
of
home,
rentals.
I
Thanks
for
the
questions,
yes
and
absolutely
it
varies
depending
on
the
scope
of
work.
So
we
have.
As
Corey
noted,
we
do
have
a
direct
inspections
program
which
really
looks
at
a
simplified
home
renovation
which
we're
processing
in
three
days.
We
are
looking
to
expand
the
scope
of
that,
but
it
is
challenging
just
given
the
many
intricacies
of
of
Permitting,
so
yeah
there
is,
it
is
possible.
It
is
fairly
limited
right
now,
so
we
are
delivering
on
that,
but
with
a
limited
scope
right.
H
Take
for
any
of
these
particular
goals,
and
so
that's
just
on
the
first
one,
I
guess
the
second
three
weeks
to
approve
a
single
family,
home
or
townhouse.
Where
are
we
out
on
single-family
homes
and
Townhomes?.
I
Yeah
well
again,
it
is
that
partnership.
So
we
are,
you
know,
we're
we
are
doing
everything
we
can
to
speed
up
our
end
of
the
review
process.
But
again
we
rely
on
on
that
customer.
So
I
guess
in
terms
of
defining
what
that
timeline
is
and
how
quickly
we
can
get
our
reviews
done
and
how
quickly
we
can
respond
back
to
applicants.
I
H
Fine
was
it
trade-off
in
your
mind,
be
not
doing
some
other
work,
or
would
it
be
the
need
to
hire
more
staff
in
order
to
really
focus
on
hitting
these
timelines.
I
So
I
think
this
is
an
interesting
question
that
comes
up
again
and
again,
and
we're
really
focused
on
digital
technology
as
much
as
we
possibly
can.
Ultimately,
if
we
get
to
a
place
where
we've
determined
we've
done
everything
we
can
from
a
digital
lens
to
to
simplify
and
expedite
these
processes,
it
may
come
down
to
resources,
but
we're
we're
in
the
process
right
now,
but
to
your
point
yeah
until
we're
there.
It
is
a
really
good
question:
okay,.
H
Thank
you.
Those
are
those
are
my
questions.
I'll
just
change
your
comments
now,
so
you
know.
First
of
all,
you
know
it's
to
me
problematic
that
we
got
this
one
hour
ago,
this
amendment
or
this
motion.
Rather
it's
not
an
amendment
of
magic.
There
were
no
motions
to
this
report
on
those
staff
recommendations
that
is
okay,
so
it
was
one
hour
ago.
I
could
have
maybe
asked
more
questions
to
staff
in
the
duration
of
all
the
other
two
rounds
of
questions
that
we
had
earlier.
H
That
might
have
helped
me
being
able
to
understand
the
implications
of
this
motion,
I
believe
in
evidence-based
decision
making
I
believe
in
having
information
at
hand.
In
my
mind,
to
know
what
the
pros
and
cons
are
of
of
emotion,
moving
forward,
I'm
hearing
from
staff
that
they
are,
you
know
there
may
be
some
that
they
assume
that
they
are
achieving
for
very
simple
rentals.
H
For
example,
they
might
be
able
to
get
there,
but
you
know:
I'm,
not
hearing
and
I
didn't
have
time
to
to
ask
a
lot
of
questions
as
more
questions
as
to
what
the
implications
might
be
to
to
do
three
months
for
a
multi-family
or
mid-rise
project
or
one
year
for
a
high-rise
I
mean
I,
there's
not
very
many.
That
I
can
think
of
that
went
through
in
one
year.
H
No,
no
aspects
of
of
the
potential
around
rezoning
or
if
these
are
these
just
simple,
simple
procedures.
I
get
that
are
simple
projects
rather
I
get
that
you
know
it's
great
to
have
some
goals:
I,
don't
have
confidence
that
these
goals
are
grounded
and
the
information
from
the
professional
staff
that
we
have
in
this
city.
That
can
help
me
understand
whether
these
are
good
goals
or
not
good
goals.
They
might
be
popular
goals
in
the
public,
but
are
they
good
goals
in
terms
of
governance?
H
I'm?
You
know
I'm
not
prepared
to
support
this
I
I'm
still
deliberating
on
abstaining,
because
the
idea
of
moving
forward
with
challenging
ourselves
to
to
achieve
something
that
is
definitely
in
the
public
interest
is
is
good,
and
these
are
I.
Take
some
comfort
in
that
these
are
objectives,
not
requirements,
but
anyway,
a
little
disappointed
here
in
in
the
process.
H
N
Are
carb
perfectly
timed
over
to
you
Merson.
A
Okay,
thank
you
yeah.
So
seven
months
ago
we
did
mention
actually
leading
up
to
seven
months
ago
mentioned
that
3331
was
going
to
be
a
big
plank
of
our
platform
and
we
choose
to
go
fast,
not
slow
and
I
want
to
thank
the
team.
We
have
a
great
team
and
make
no
mistake
about
it.
We
are
on
a
journey
to
build
the
best
city
on
the
planet.
It
will
be
hard
and
all
I
can
say.
Is
you
know
as
evidence
today
we
have
the
right
team.
A
That's
gonna
help
us
get
there
now,
I
I,
don't
think
this
is
an
aspirational
goal.
My
personal
opinion,
it's
an
achievable
goal
and
I
just
look
in
the
history
of
humans.
You
know
in
no
particular
order.
We
achieved
flight,
we
put
a
person
on,
or
people
on,
the
moon
physically,
we
conquered
the
four
minute
mile
and
then
it
Came
Crashing
Down
with
everyone
else,
flying
cars,
organ
transplant,
eradicating
polio,
3D,
printing
and
most
recently
chat,
GPT
and
AI
That's,
transforming
the
world
and
so
I.
A
Actually,
don't
think
that
this
is
anywhere
close
to
any
of
those
human
achievements,
and
you
know
when
you're
building
this
best
city
on
the
planet,
guess
what
we're
going
to
set
some
high
standards
and
I
I
want
us
to
remember
what
the
stakes
are
here:
it's
not
about
3331..
A
What
we
are
talking
about
here
is
giving
people
the
ability
to
raise
families
and
live
in
the
city
that
we
love
and
I
think
you
know
we're
up
to
that
challenge,
and
so,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
about
making
it
very
clear,
being
very
transparent,
holding
ourselves
up
to
a
level
of
accountability
and
providing
clarity
as
to
where
the
destination
we're
driving
towards,
because
if
we
don't
know
where
we're
driving,
how
do
we
drive
there
and
make
no
mistake
about
it
at
some
point
in
time
we
will
hit
3331,
and
you
know,
what's
going
to
happen,
we're
going
to
change
the
goal
post
again
and
we're
going
to
make
it
even
faster
and
that's
what
we're
building
here,
a
culture
of
continuous
Improvement
I'm,
a
big
fan
of
Toyota.
A
They
have
been
on
their
journey
of
continuous
Improvement
for
over
a
hundred
years
now,
and
they
don't
talk
about
how
a
goal
is
not
achievable.
They
talk
about
how
they're
going
to
get
there
and
then
when
they
get
there,
they
set
a
new
goal
and
that's
what
we
intend
to
do
at
the
city
of
Vancouver.
So
thank
you
very
much.
I
know
we
have
the
right
team
and
it's
our
goal
to
provide
the
goal
pulse
and
then
provide
you
with
the
resources
to
get
there.
N
Thanks
mayor
clerks,
I
think
seeing
no
other
buddy
on
the
Queue.
If
we
could
pull
up
the
voting
panel,
please.
N
And
that
passes
with
none
in
opposition.
A
Chair,
thank
you
very
much,
councilor,
okay.
So
now
we
are.
We
are
at
the
place
where
the
items
held
for
debate.
A
Okay,
so
the
first
thing,
the
for
the
next
item
in
the
order
of
the
agenda
held
by
counselor
Joe,
was
a
appointment
or
Communications.
Thank
you
by
the
way.
Thank
you
for
all
of
the
great
work
that
you
do
really
appreciate.
It
is
Communications
one
appointment
of
council
liaison
to
Civic
agencies.
Does
anyone
wish
to
declare
a
conflict
of
interest
on
this
item?
A
Okay,
so
counselor
Joel,
you
held
this
item.
You
have
five
minutes
to
ask
questions
to
team
members.
E
Okay,
thanks
mayor,
so
I'm
really
honored
to
be
appointed
as
the
council
liaison
for
the
racial
ethanol,
counter
Equity
advisory
committee.
I.
Think
counselor
fryer
also
has
done
a
lot
of
works
with
different
cultural
communities.
He
has
established
strong
connections
with
them,
so
I'm
really
confident
that
China
Community
will
be
greatly
beneficial
from
his
extensive
experience
and
knowledge.
So
in
fact,
I
think
councilor,
Frey
and
I
have
collaborated
on
different
communities,
engagement
initiatives,
including
the
Chinese
community
and
the
black
community.
So
with
that,
I
really
hope.
E
A
Okay,
so
here
I'm
just
going
to
advance
use
apologize
for
that,
but
can
we
please
have
a
secondary
great?
Thank
you
very
much
counselor
Carr
council.
Is
there
any
discussion?
A
Okay,
well,
counselor
Boyle
thanks.
P
I
just
didn't
see
an
amendment
circulated,
or
we
just
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
on
the
right
page
here
that
the
amendment
is
to
add
counselor
fry
to
the
racial
Equity
advisory
committee.
E
P
A
Yeah,
okay,
so
we're
all
clear:
counselor,
Kirby,
Young.
B
C
B
Would
really
like
to
question
that
because
I
am
confused,
because
even
when
we
moved
a
report
with
an
amendment,
we've
had
to
email
it
in.
So
what
I'm
now
hearing
is
that
if
we
do
this,
we're
changing
our
practice
and
we
can
all
do
that
moving
forward.
We
do
not
have
to.
We
can
move
a
report
with
language
and
amendments
and
we
don't
have
to
email
it.
That's
what
I'm
taking
away
from
what
you're
saying
and
I'm,
whenever
flat
back
I'm
hearing
that
correctly.
C
Comes
to
kubiang,
yes,
it
is
correct
if
it's.
If
it
is
an
amendment
to
a
report
that
has
been
moved,
it
should
be
emailed
to
Council
in
events.
In
this
case,
it's
a
little
bit
different
Council
Joe
is
moving
the
recommendation
with
the
the
added
language,
as
we've
done
in
the
past
before
and
I'm
happy
to
follow
up
with
a
memo.
If
that
was
helpful,.
B
Okay,
I'm
I'm
gonna
challenge
that,
because,
when
we've
had
added
language,
even
when
we're
moving
a
report-
and
it's
included
I'm
very
confident-
we've
had
to
email
it
so
I
just
feel
uncomfortable
that
we're
changing
the
procedure
and
then
we're
setting
precedent
and
when
we're
inconsistent.
This
is
what
great
challenges.
Procedurally
I'm,
not
comfortable
with
the
with
the
response,
I'm
very
comfortable
with
the
amendment
to
the
intention
of
supporting
it
I'm,
just
not
comfortable
with
the
procedure.
A
Okay,
so
the
solution
to
this,
if
counselor
Joe,
if
you
can
email
that
with
counselor
Fry's
name
on
it
all
right,
should
we
take
a
a
quick
recess
to
five
minutes?
A
A
Okay,
seeing
no
other
questions
or
comments
in
the
queue
we'll
bring
it
to
a
vote,
reminder
that
any
council
member
participating
virtually
actually
there's.
None
of
us
like
that.
Okay,
so,
let's
just
call
it
to
a
vote.
A
And
it
looks
like
it
passes
unanimously.
The
second
item
held
was
held
by
counselor
Meisner,
even
though
it
was
number
13..
Let
me
explain:
number
13
here.
A
False
Creek,
North
social
housing,
delivery,
amendments
to
the
false
Creek,
North
official
development
plan
and
consequential
cd-1
bylaw
amendments,
so
councilor
Meisner,
you
held
this
item.
You
have
five
minutes
to
ask
questions
of
team
members
actually.
D
A
A
Yeah
no,
it's
voting
on
the
whole
thing.
I
wanted
to
vote,
we're
all
having
some
Adventures
here.
A
Okay,
okay,
so
I
guess
we
can
vote
on
referring
report
number
13..
A
Is
that
right
so
Hugh
mifted
again
do
we
do
we
need
a
mover
yeah
so
moved
by
councilor,
Bly
seconded
by
counselor
dominato?
We
don't
have
to
go
to
the
voting
College,
all
in
favor,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye,
all
opposing
a
great
number
13
passes
and
I
I
guess
do
I
have
to
read
it
out
again:
nope,
okay,
great
okay,.
A
In
bylaws,
okay,
we
have
sometimes
we
can
do
this.
Okay,
we
have
34
bylaws
on
the
agenda.
For
enactment,
please
note
by
law:
11
has
been
withdrawn.
Also
by
law.
Eat
must
be
voted
on
and
enacted
before
we
can
vote
on
bylaw
nine
I
recommend
that
we
vote
on
bylaws
one
through
eight
10
and
12
through
35.
First
then
go
back
to
vote
on
bylaw
number
nine.
Now
before
we
do
this,
does
anybody
need
to
declare
a
conflict
on
any
of
the
bylaws
put
myself
on
the
queue?
A
So
no
clerk?
You
have
to
see
the
chair
on
this
one
nope,
okay,
I'm
gonna,
declare
in
a
in
an
abundance
of
caution,
a
potential
conflict
on
by
law,
number
15,
the
Commercial
Drive
Pia
one
and
the
the
reason
for
this
is
our
family
operates.
A
retail
store
on
Commercial,
Drive
and
I
have
no
idea
based
on
the
lot
numbers
and
what
have
you
if
it's
included
so
in
an
abundance
of
caution?
I
will
be
recusing
myself
from
the
vote
on
number
15.
A
great.
So
would
someone
like
to
move
the
motion
to
adopt
bylaws
one
through
eight
ten
and
12
through
35.
councilor
dominato
seconded
by
counselor,
Carr
counsel?
Is
there
any
discussion?
No
okay,
all
those
in
favor
say
yay,
all
those
pulls
they
name
create.
The
motion
carries
unanimously.
Would
someone
like
to
move
the
motion
to
adopt
by
law?
Number
nine
councilor
Bly
seconded
counselor
Boyle?
Thank
you,
counselor
council.
Is
there
any
discussion?
A
Great
all
those
in
favor
say:
yay,
all
those
pulsing
a
create.
The
motion
carries
unanimously.
The
list
of
approved
bylaws
can
be
found
on
the
city's
website.
Are
there
notices
of
council
member
motions
for
upcoming
coming
standing
committee
meetings?
A
I
would
like
to
remind
Council
that,
due
to
the
amendment
to
the
procedure,
bylaw
members
motions
will
be
placed
on
standing
committee
agendas,
a
reminder
to
State
the
title
of
the
motion
and
State
and
the
date
of
the
standing
committee
meeting
on
which
you
intend
to
move
the
motion
and
be
sure
to
send
the
title
via
email
to
the
city
clerk.
A
And
I
have
one
so
do
I
have
to
see
the
chair
on
this
one.
No
great,
thank
you.
I
have
a
motion
for
the
June
28th
meeting
at
the
title
of
my
motion
is
sorry
this.
This
motion,
I'd,
like
to
co-submit
with
counselor
Joe
at
the
title
of
my
motion,
is
or
our
motion
is
naming
the
city's
new
Chinatown
office.
I
would
just
like
to
add
that
there
will
be
an
informational
press
conference
in
advance
of
the
upcoming
official
opening
of
our
new
Chinatown
satellite
office.
H
Yes,
yes,
thanks
mayor
I
have
three
motions:
they're
all
actually
for
ubcm,
and
they
are
for
the
council
meeting
of
June
28th.
The
first
one
is
decreasing:
food
waste
increasing
food
security.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Councilor
dominato.
F
Thanks
mayor

I
have
two
notices
of

notice
of
motion
also
for
the
June
28th

which
I
gave
notice
of
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
but
I'm
just
naming
again
in
the
title
changed
slightly.
The
emotion
is
addressing
ongoing
inequities
by
improving
social
infrastructure
and
access
to
Services
across
South,
Vancouver
and
Marple
neighborhoods.
A
A
Oh

other
notice
of
council
member
motions,
nope

Kirby

Please

Awesome.
B
B
Thank
you,
mayor
I
have
a
a
notice,
a
motion
for
Loa
and
leave
of
absence
requests
for
the
following
dates:
June
28th
from
9
00
a.m;
to
1
pm,
Pacific
business,
June
29th
from
6
pm
to
10
p.m;
Pacific,
business
July,
12th
all
day
for
civic
business
and
July
13th
from
1
pm
to
5
PM
for
civic
business.
L
I
also
have
new
business
items,
I
have
an
Loa
and
also
a
motion
just
confirming
we're
not
voting
one
by
one
here
on
the
separate
motions,
yeah.
A
Yeah
before
we
had
to
vote
in
each
one,
I'm,
sorry,
okay,
and
do
we
need
secondaries
for
each
one.
A
Okay,
councilor
second
counselor
Kirby
Young's
motion
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye.
All
those
posting
a
motion
carries
sorry
about
that
I'm
going
to
get
the
hang
of
this
okay
counselor
fly
you're
up.
L
Thanks
very
much
so
I'll
just
move
this.
The
Loa,
so
I
do
have
an
Loa
for
civic
business
for
meetings,
July,
11th
and
July
12th.
A
Can
we
get
a
second
or
please
great,
counselor,
Boyle
seconded
all
in
favor,
say
aye.
All
those
polls
CNA
raise.
The
motion
carries
thanks.
Oh
sorry,
okay,
yes,
please
go
ahead.
L
Thank
you,
I'll,
just
ask
somebody
put
my
timer
on,
but
I'll
be
very
brief,
so
I'm
bringing
a
motion
forward
under
new
business
today
that
I
hope
Council
will
consider.
There
is
a
deadline
to
have
this
move
forward
if
Council
was
to
support
before
July
12th,
to
enable
this
topic
to
be
discussed
at
fcm
at
the
September
board
meetings,
and
that
date,
as
I
mentioned,
is
well.
If
I
said
July
12th
I
meant
July
10th.
L
So
this
motion
itself
is
titled
building
an
advocacy
case
to
increase
government
of
Canada
support
for
literacy
programs,
and
it
will
be
submitted
by
it
is
being
submitted
by
myself
and
co-submitted
by
Council
nominato,
and
the
goal
here
with
this
motion
is
is
to
support
advocacy
through
the
SCM
work
to
ensure
that
literacy
is
advocated
for
at
the
federal
government
when
it
comes
to
the
National,
Poverty
reduction
strategy
and
right
now,
any
funding
for
literacy
programs
is
linked
to
employment
programs
in
many
organizations,
and
actually
previous
counselor
Heather
deal
is
working
with
an
organization
National
Organization
called
Dakota,
who
is
providing
a
lot
of
these
literacy
programs
across
the
country
and
literacy
is
an
incredibly
important
piece
of
the
puzzle
when
it
comes
to
property,
poverty
reduction,
both
digital
literacy,
language,
literacy,
financial
literacy,
it
covers
all
and
oftentimes
a
a
deficit
in
literacy.
L
The
ability
around
literacy
will
actually
stop
people
from
even
walking
through
the
doors
of
unemployment.
So
by
linking
the
funding
to
employment,
it
actually
precludes
many
people
from
being
able
to
gain
employment
and
we're
talking
about
communities
both
larger
Urban
cities,
but
particularly
smaller
rural
communities.
L
So
the
Hope
here
is
that
in
the
in
the
committee
of
Community
safety
and
crime
prevention
at
SCM,
and
also
the
social
economic
development
committee,
both
that
covered
these
topics,
but
not
exclusive
to
those
two
committees,
and
there
could
be
a
broader
discussion
and
advocacy
effort
through
the
fcm
to
the
federal
government
to
enable
funding
here.
So
we're
being
an
instigator
I
would
say
in
this
discussion,
but
very
much
at
the
national
level.
L
A
Can
we
please
get
a
secondary
right
and
then
is
there
any
questions
or
comments?
Oh
counselor
dominato.
F
A
marriage
is
going
to
provide
brief,
supporting
comments
to
the
motion
simply
to
to
reiterate
and
put
a
finer
point
on
this
is
we
saw
the
impact
of
literacy
in
the
K-12
sector
when
I
was
working
there
and
to
see
a
greater
focus
at
the
national
level,
but
also
you
know,
provincially
on
literacy
will
make
a
significant
difference
because
you
start
to
see
this
at
an
early
age,
and
so
really
it's
getting
at
prevention
and
early
intervention.
F
Councilor
Bly
alluded
to
the
point
that
their
individuals
were
struggling
with
literacy.
Won't
they
won't
connect
with
an
employment
center.
But
what
we
do
see
we
see
it
in
children.
We
see
it
in
youth
is
when
they're
struggling
struggling
with
literacy,
it
impacts
their
self-esteem
and
impact
impacts,
their
Wellness.
F
You
intend
to
see
anxiety,
depression
and
I.
Think
it's
worth
noting
that
a
number
of
organizations
that
are
focusing
on
advocacy
across
the
country
are
making
that
direct
connection
between
literacy
and
poverty,
literacy
and
Public
Safety
considerations,
homelessness,
and
so,
if
we
can
get
ahead
of
this,
then
we
can
address
some
of
those
other
social
issues
that
we
see
in
our
communities
and
and
the
other
part
of
this
is
also
digital
literacy.
F
The
federal
government
has
recently
announced
that
they're
going
to
commit
significant
of
the
funds
around
digital
literacy,
because
people
are
falling
behind
as
technology
changes
and
just
being
able
to
decipher
the
type
of
information
they're
getting
on
online.
There's
a
lot
of
information
and
being
discriminatory
about
what
that
kind
of
information.
You're
digesting
but
I
think
it's
fair
to
say
that
this
is
an
important
piece
of
work.
One
in
five
Canadians
are
struggling
with
literacy
and
so
happy
support
this
going
forward
to
fcm
and
to
be
embedded
in
in
the
workplace.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Okay,
seeing
no
other
questions
on
comments,
we'll
bring
it
to
a
vote
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye,
all
those
people
say
nay
great.
The
motion
carries
okay,
so

Clausen.

all
those
policy,
nay
great
motion
carries
unanimously.
Okay,
so
Council.
Are
there
any
inquiries
or
other
matters?
Counselor
Bly.
L
Thanks
very
much,
this
inquiry
is
to
the
city
manager
and
it
is
related
to
the
timing
we're
at
now.
So
we
we
were
updated
and
there
was
a
Public
Announcement
by
the
provincial
government
related
to
the
downtown
east
side
back
in
March,
with
a
number
of
targets
being
set
for
the
end
of
June
and
I'm
curious.
If
we
can
get
a
further
memo
or
any
insight
that
the
city
manager
has
at
the
moment
around
the
330
housing
units.
L
O
L
And
Beyond,
if
I
may
I,
imagine
some
of
the
supports
around
in
my
understanding
of
the
document,
I
believe
it
was
a
13-page
report
that
the
province
put
out
is.
There
are
a
number
of
markers,
maybe
six
or
seven,
of
the
different
types
of
services
that
extend
beyond
housing
and
BC
housing,
so
any
additional
information
from
the
Ministry
of
Health
in
terms
of
how
we
can
be
working
together
to
ensure
that
some
of
those
supports
rule
out
in
time
with
the
timelines
they've
set
would
be
great
yep.
A
O
Q
Thank
you,
mayor
I,
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
the
fact
that
on
this
Saturday
June
17th
we're
having
our
first
ever
Vancouver
beautification
day.
We've,
we've
all
felt
the
prevalence
of
vandalism
and
tagging
that
is
been
seen
in
so
many
communities
across
our
city
and
became
certainly
more
prevalent
during
covet
and
I.
Think
that
having
volunteers
come
out
and
support
the
effort
to
try
and
clean
some
of
that
up
and
beautify.
Our
city,
I
think
is,
is
a
really
great
initiative.
Q
I
want
to
thank
City
staff
for
providing
paint
and
paint
supplies
and
helping
us
with
Logistics
I'd
like
to
also
thank
a
number
of
bias
that
are
getting
involved
at
this
stage:
Mount
Pleasant,
Strathcona,
Hastings,
Village
and
and
Collingwood,
and
as
well,
a
number
of
community
policing
centers
in
Collingwood
and
South
Vancouver,
and
it's
a
small
time
commitment
to
give
back
to
your
city
and
wear
clothes
that
you
don't
mind
getting
a
little
paint
on,
but
this
Saturday
10
a.m
a
somewhat
weather
dependent
if
the
weather
is
really
bad,
we'll
have
to
try
and
reschedule
it,
but
otherwise
I
look
forward
to
seeing
you
there.
A
You
very
much
councilor
dominato.
F
Thanks
mayor
and
through
you,
a
question:
I
have
two
questions:
the
city
manager
and
the
first
one
is
just
recently.
We
had
some
inquiries
about
the
renaming
of
Church,
Street
and
appreciate
staff
got
back
to
us
and
also
to
a
number
of
residents.
Is
there
any
chance
of
getting
a
clear
time
frame
on
when
that
changeover
is
going
to
happen?
F
O
We
yes
thanks
guys
for
a
weekend
one
of
the
variables
there
is
also
coordination
with
muskriam
and
that's
the
piece
where
we
don't
really
have
a
firm
timeline,
because
we
are
in
some
respects,
relying
on
them
but
working
closely
with
them.
But
I'm
happy
to
provide
kind
of
an
update
on
where
we're
at
with
our
pieces
of
that.
And
if
there's
any
new
information
from
us.
Okay,.
F
That's
great
and
then
the
second
question
is
just
with
respect
to
I
requested
some
additional
information,
just
an
update
generally
on
how
we're
tracking
around
adding
the
additional
mental
health
teams
and
mental
health
nurses
to
the
city
through
bch,
as
well
as
the
VPD
officers
and
I,
recognize
that
that's
going
to
be
done.
I
think
you
mentioned
it
on
a
quarterly
basis.
F
Is
it
possible
to
have
that
update
delivered
publicly
to
council
so
that
we
can,
because
there
is
a
lot
of
interest
in
these
issues
from
a
public
standpoint
about
Public
Safety,
but
also
on
the
health
and
wellness
side
around
concern
for
residents
who
may
be
struggling
with
mental
illness
or
substance
use
disorders?
And
is
there
any
chance
of
having
that
update
done
a
public
council
meeting
or
through
a
memo
or.
O
A
D
Mayor
mine
is
more
just
an
acknowledgment
of
Italian
days
or
Italian
day
on
the
drive
on
Sunday,
several
of
us
counselors,
and
then
yourself,
attended
and
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
all
the
hard
work
that
went
into
putting
on
that
fantastic
event
by
the
bia
by
the
Italian
cultural
Society.
A
center
and.
D
That
were
involved.
It
was
so
nice
to
see
thousands
of
people
come
out
enjoying
the
city
on
a
beautiful
day,
sampling
all
the
great
food
and
music
and
something
we
need
lots
more
of
in
Vancouver
and
that
this
council
is
happy
to
support.
So
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
what
a
great
day
that
was
on
Sunday.
So
thanks
to
all
the
organizers
and
to
everybody
that
came
out.
A
Awesome,
thank
you
very
much
and
before
we
adjourn
please
stick
around
because
we
have
to
do
something
very
quickly.
So
with
that
seeing
no
one
else
in
the
queue
here.
May
we
have
a
motion
to
adjourn
great.
Thank
you
seconded
councilor
Joel.
Thank
you
all
those
in
favor
say
gay.
All
