A
Gonna
add
a
briefing
for
the
public
engagement
and
that
briefing
is
not
going
to
take
place
in
the
order
that
you
see
in
the
agenda.
It's
actually
going
to
take
place
as
it
arises
in
the
business,
so
we'll
go
through
the
agenda
and
as
the
public
engagement
arises
on
the
in
the
business
on
the
agenda,
we'll
be
doing
a
briefing
at
that
time.
Having
said
that,
all
those
in
favor
of
the
agenda
the
passes
can
I
get
a
mover
for
the
confirmation
of
the
minutes,
councillor
Schell
seconded
by
Councillor
Eurosonic,
all
those
in
favor.
A
C
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
so
this
is
the
the
routine
tax
write-off
report.
That's
in
front
of
you.
It's
there's
a
few
properties
that
are
listed
out
in
section
and
the
appendix
to
the
report
with
respect
to
section
357
358
of
the
Municipal
Act
for
the
write-offs,
and
we
do
have
provisions
within
the
budget
to
to
cover
off
these
particular
amounts.
C
You,
mr.
chair,
so
this
report
is
before
the
committee
with
respect
to
so
we
have
the
ability
to
delegate
authority
under
Section
357,
the
Municipal
Act
to
the
ARB.
With
respect
to
write-offs
of
taxes.
There
are
eight
different
categories
within
section
357,
seven
of
which
are
on
the
previous
report
and
tend
to
be
more
administrative
in
nature
and
involve
the
municipal
property
assessment
Corp
with
respect
to
assessment,
values
and
and
classes.
The
the
eighth
one
tends
to
be
a
little
more
complex
and
lengthy,
and
that's
with
respect
to
sickness
or
extreme
poverty.
C
Most
municipalities
have
delegated
this
authority
to
review
these
to
the
ARB.
For
a
couple
reasons:
one
it
does
involve
personal
information,
so
it
provides
a
forum.
That's
that's
a
little
less
public
in
terms
of
review
and
probably
more
importantly,
provide
some
consistency
across
the
province
with
respect
to
decisions
made
in
this
regard.
So
we're
recommending
that
this
be
delegated
to
the
ARB
and
and
I
should
say
we
haven't
in
the
last
number
years.
A
D
Through
you,
mr.
chair,
very
happy
to
be
able
to
bring
this
policy
forward
for
your
consideration.
As
you'll
see
noted
in
the
report,
this
is
a
necessary
step
related
to
the
installation
of
the
new
City
Hall
and
first
Capitol
place
lighting
system.
It's
something
that
has
been
developed
in
the
context
of
the
commemoration
strategy
and
policy
formally
approved
by
council
and
has
been
subject
to
a
robust
round
of
conversation
both
internally
and
with
public
stakeholders.
D
We
also
had
the
chance
to
test
some
different
ideas
with
the
public
to
get
a
sense
of
how
people
would
like
to
see
this
new
asset
used
and
certainly
found
divergent
opinions,
but
something
that
really
did
come
to
light.
As
the
lighting
system
was
inaugurated
over
the
candidate
weekend
was
that
once
people
had
a
chance
to
see
the
lighting
system
in
use,
there
was
certainly
a
tremendous
enthusiasm
about
maximizing
its
potential
in
a
way
that
wasn't
quite
as
apparent
when
it
was
first
sort
of
being
developed
in
a
more
theoretical
way.
D
There's
a
number
of
examples
from
other
situations
where
there
is
a
fixed
calendar
of
times
when
a
lighting
system
such
as
this
is
used,
and
so
taking
into
account
the
recommendations
of
the
commemoration
strategy
and
policy.
We
were
also
looking
for
a
balanced
number
of
opportunities
with
which
to
use
the
lighting
system,
so
you'll
see
everything
there
from
sir
Johnny
McDonald
Day
at
the
beginning
of
the
year
through
things
like
International
Women's,
Day,
Kingston,
pride,
same
Jean,
Baptiste,
International,
Day
of
Peace
to
try
and
put
together
a
balanced
calendar
of
opportunities.
D
There
was,
as
you'll,
see
a
bit
of
a
split
in
terms
of
this
lighting
system
being
used
for
a
third
party
requests,
but
based
on
the
input
that
we
received
in
terms
of
when
people
would
like
to
see
the
lighting
system
used,
we
did
opt
a
staff
to
include
that
as
an
opportunity
for
the
community
to
make
those
third
party
requests.
So
that
is
embedded
though
people
have
to
fit
the
criteria
as
outlined
in
the
policy.
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
flag
is.
D
We
did
make
a
conscious
decision
to
exclude
the
use
of
the
lighting
system
in
times
of
sort
of
spontaneous
response
to
world
events.
The
rationale
for
that
being
that
there's
so
many
things
going
on
in
the
world
right
now
when
well,
it
is
always
desirable
to
try
and
recognize
and
participate
in
these
things
that
are
happening.
It
would
be
virtually
impossible
to
do
it
equitably,
and
so
the
decision
was
made
to
exclude
that.
D
D
You,
mr.
chair,
the
assumption
is-
and
it's
written
in
the
policy
that
it
would
be
for
one
night,
only
from
dawn,
dusk
till
dawn.
So
when
you
have
an
event
like
Black,
History,
Month,
hopefully
working
with
the
community
to
figure
out.
If
it's
all
right
to
do
it
on
the
first
day
of
that
month
or
if
there's
a
significant
event
during
that
month,
when
it
would
be
most
appropriate
and.
D
D
One
of
the
things
that
did
come
back
to
us
through
the
testing
period
in
the
summer
was
that
people
were
very
keen
to
see
the
building
highlighted
a
more
creative,
innovative
way
through
the
tourist
season,
in
particular
as
a
beacon
to
draw
people
to
the
downtown.
There
was
also
a
lot
of
enthusiasm
for
perhaps
doing
something
a
little
bit
more
elaborate
on
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
nights
when
it's
the
weekend
and
people
are
wanting
to
be
downtown.
A
F
Yeah,
thank
you
mr.
Schurr,
very
impressed
with
the
process.
That's
been
undertaken
on
this,
so
this
question
I
liked
everything
I
saw
this
summer
and
just
one
little
point
following
up
on
what
the
director
said,
the
tuck,
the
dawn
to
dusk
or
the
dusk
to
dawn
period,
does
vary
quite
a
bit
during
the
year
right.
You
have
the
longer
daylight
periods
in
the
summer,
which
is
the
tourism
period
and
then
in
the
winter,
we're
down
to
the
ER
that
they
like
so
I
just
want
to
get
might
be.
F
Some
people
might
be
feeling
you
possibly
slighted
by
that
they
get
the
longer
safe
for
fabfest
or
whatever
right.
Have
you
heard
any
people
talking
about,
or
maybe
you
can
have
it
for
two
nights
in
the
summer
to
allow
for
a
longer
time
to,
but
also
to
I
mean
it's.
What
I
see
I'm
very
impressed?
And
you
know
people
been
talking
about
this
and
even
out
of
town
I
was
in
Toronto
I'm
talking
to
a
friend
of
mine
in
there
he
would
been
in
Kingston
and
Syd
was
very
impressed.
So.
D
Through
you,
mr.
chair
I
mean
I'll
just
comment
that
there
has
been
a
lot
of
discussion
about
duration
and
the
fact
that,
obviously,
the
length
of
days
and
evenings
changes
throughout
the
year,
so
I
think
that's
something
that
we're
going
to
have
to
take
into
consideration
as
we
move
through
this
first
year
of
implementation
and
come
to
the
review
period.
At
one
point,
we
were
actually
talking
about
the
lighting
system,
shutting
off
at
midnight
or
1:00
a.m.
but
felt
it
was
more
appropriate
to
leave
it
all
night.
D
But
again
the
light
levels
can
be
adjusted
as
needed.
So
that's
something
that
we'll
have
to
work
with
facilities,
management
and
construction
services
to
to
really
refine
as
we
move
forward
and
see
what
people's
responses
are,
because
we
also
have
to
be
aware
as
well,
that
there
are
a
significant
number
of
people
living
in
the
downtown
core
and
proximity
to
City,
Hall,
and
so
we'll
also
need
to
get
a
read
on
how
it
impacts
residents
as
well
and
take
that
into
account.
So
certainly
we'll
be
looking
at
that.
A
A
The
recommendations
that
the
administrative
policies
committee
recommend
to
council
first
capital
placed
illumination
policy
attached
for
port
number,
AP,
1702
3,
as
exhibit
a
be
approved,
and
that
staff
be
directed
to
review
the
policy
after
one
full
year
of
operating.
The
new
architectural
lighting
system
for
the
four
Kingston
city
hall
and
the
adjoining
areas
based
on
feedback
received
from
the
public
members
of
heritage,
Kingston,
community
partners
and
various
city
departments,
as
required.
Do
I
have
a
mover
councillor,
osanic
second,
by
councillor,
shell,
any
questions
or
questions.
G
H
H
D
Through
you,
mr.
chair,
that
is
correct,
and
the
original
list
was
also
based
on,
what's
also
recognized
at
the
federal
level
for
national
days
of
observance,
and
that
was
providing
us
with
the
starting
point.
It
was
interesting,
though,
through
the
survey
process
that,
as
soon
as
we
suggested
things,
people
responded
positively
to
them
being
included.
So
this
does
really
reflect
what
people
wanted,
and
we
try
to
sort
of
glean
from
both
the
third
party
request
list,
as
well
as
the
more
regular
schedule.
That's
kind
of
balance
of
things
to
recognize
and.
H
D
You,
mr.
chair
I
mean
those
would
be
at
the
request
of
the
community,
so
the
items
listed
here
under
3.1.3
would
be
done
on
an
annual
basis
based
on
Council's
approval,
other
ones
that
might
come
forward,
as
the
policy
says,
would
be
on
a
first-come,
first-served
basis,
and
certainly
we
would
try
to
accommodate
through
the
clerk's
office
as
many
of
the
requests
as
possible
as
long
as
they
meet
the
criteria.
D
But
it
would
really
be
up
to
the
community
to
initiate
that
request,
and
if
it's
something
that
they
wanted
to
see
happen
on
an
annual
basis,
then
they
would
have
to
apply
on
an
annual
basis.
And
if
there
was
any
conflict
on
dates
that
were
being
requested,
then
we
may
have
to
look
at
providing
some
sort
of
equitable
access.
If
we
see
that
there
are
potentially
competing
dates
when
people
want
to
see
things
happen.
D
H
D
Through
you,
mr.
chair,
that
is
correct.
When
we
first
drafted
the
policy
we
proposed
limiting
it
to
four
times
a
month
for
a
total
of
about
forty
eight
times
a
year.
There
are
examples
of
some
communities
that
limit
and
others
that
don't,
and
so
we've
as
I
mentioned
at
the
outset,
erred
on
the
side
of
flexibility.
You
see
what
kind
of
response
comes
forward
from
the
public
and
then
we'll
have
to
revise
based
on
what
we
see.
H
Okay,
that's
fine,
so
I
was
just
going
to
comment
that
we
may
have
to
impose
a
limit
in
the
future
if
we're
getting
feedback
from
the
community
that
that
it
seems
to
be
were
illuminating
so
so
often
that
each
individual
event
is
losing
significance.
But
that's
basically
was
an
answer
right
there.
So
I'm
happy
with
the
policy
I
will
support
it.
A
I
You
mr.
chair,
the
purpose
of
this
report
is
to
mend
the
flag
display
employment
policy
to
allow
request
from
the
canadian
force
base
kingston
to
display
the
canadian
flag
during
a
retirement
ceremony
of
a
member
of
the
canadian
armed
forces.
Earlier
this
year,
we
were
asked
to
come
back
with
a
report
to
make
this
happen.
This
report
will
make
it
happen,
I'm
going
to
introduce
janet
james
or
deputy
city
clerk,
who
will
provide
a
bit
more
information,
but
at
the
end
of
a
really
steep
nature.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So,
as
the
as
the
city
clerk
has
mentioned,
the
main
change
is,
as
a
result
of
the
February
2017
direction,
from
Council
to
review
the
policy
to
incorporate
the
ability
for
Canadian
Armed
Forces
members,
who
are
retiring
with
25
years
of
service,
to
request
to
have
their
flag
flown
at
City
Hall.
As
the
policy
is
currently
written,
that
application
would
not
be
it
would
not
meet
the
the
test
of
the
criteria.
J
So
far
to
date,
there
have
been
three
requests
for
retiring
members
of
the
Canadian
Forces
to
have
their
flag
flown,
and
we
have
managed
to
accommodate
all
those
requests,
but
it
does
require
a
motion
to
be
prepared
and
put
on
a
council
agenda.
It
brought
forward
to
Council,
so
it
does
require
a
little
bit
of
legwork
and
this
policy
will
allow
for
them
to
be
administered
by
staff,
and
there
are
certain
timeline
criteria
that
are
required
to
be
met
as
there
are
with
all
flagged
policy.
J
Their
excuse
me
flag,
flying
requests
that
are
approved
through
the
policy
criteria,
so
it
does
allow
for
a
little
better
streamlining
of
the
process
and
an
ability
to
prepare
and
to
work
with
facilities,
management
and
construction
services
to
actually
have
the
flag
raised
without
within
short
notice.
I
guess.
The
the
key
piece
is
that
CFP
Kingston
has
in
in
their
request
to
date
the
we
don't
expect
this
to
be
happening
on
it
on
a
regular
monthly
basis.
J
It
may
have
been
flow
depending
on
when
when
members
are
retiring,
but
it
is
the
criteria
of
CFP
that
the
member
has
to
be
retiring
with
25
years
of
service.
So
you
can
imagine
that
there
may
not
be
many
people
with
that
with
that
length
of
a
service
to
be
retiring,
and
they
do
have
to
be
currently
stationed
at
CFB
Kingston
and
what
the
flag
that
they
raise
is
a
Canadian
flag.
J
In
terms
of
policy
language,
we
reviewed
that
and
we
updated
that
with
regards
to
circumstances
when
flag
raisings
would
not
be
considered
to
ensure
that
the
language
was
consistent
with
with
the
commemorations
policy
that
was
recently
served
by
council,
and
that
was
that
was
the
main
housekeeping
piece
that
we
had.
Thank
you
thank.
H
The
I'm,
just
conscious
of
the
demographic
history's
largest
demographic,
is
that
retirement
age
right
now,
so
it
would
seem
that
the
numbers
would
be
peaking
in
the
next
few
years.
Do
we
have
any
indication
from
CFP
what
those
numbers
might
be,
because
if
not
I
don't
know
if
we
should
be
making
that
assumption.
I
H
So
that's
why
it
would
be
nice
to
have
those
numbers
I
mean
they
must
have
a
list
of
I
know
at
the
hospital.
They
have
a
list
of
years
of
service,
and
so
you
can
predict
you
can
see
how
many
people
were
over
25
years
and
who
might
be
the
close
to
retirement
but
I
guess
without
that
information
we'll
have
to
take
our
best
guess.
Thank
you.
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
thank
you
for
the
report
and
the
explanation.
Is
there
two
questions
following
on
what
comes
first,
fraud
was
bringing
forward.
The
city
would
give
the
flag
to
the
base,
and
then
that
becomes
a
gift
to
the
retiring
officer.
I'm
just
wondering
what
is
the
cost
of
the
flag
doesn't
seem
to
be
in
the
report.
I
didn't
see
it
and
then
the
other
one
is,
since
the
city
is
honoring,
the
retiring
forces
members
and
both
my
father
and
both
grandfathers
serve
the
forces.
F
I
A
Thank
you.
So
the
recommendation
before
us
is
that
the
administrative
policies
committee
recommend
to
council
that
the
the
amended
flag
display
implying
policy
attached
as
Exhibit
a
to
report,
a
p17
0:26
be
approved.
Do
I
have
a
mover,
councilors,
Roffe
and
seconded
by
Councillor
shell.
Do
we
have
any
further
comments
on
this?
A
I
You
mr.
chair
once
again
we're
pleased
to
be
here
this
evening
to
present
the
amendments
to
the
city
of
kingston
video
surveillance
policy.
The
amendments
really
primarily
with
respect
to
kingston
transit,
which
was
surveillance
in
and
around
the
the
buses
mr.
johnson,
is
gonna,
provide
some
additional
information
as
well
on
this.
K
Thank
you,
so
just
I
just
want
to
highlight
some
of
the
key
amendments
to
the
policy
that
was
originally
passed
in
2009.
So
in
2009,
the
policy
statement
stated
the
city
of
kingston
may
use
video
surveillance
systems
in
and
around
city
owned
or
operated
buildings
and
properties
to
deter
and
detect
criminal
activity.
So
one
of
the
main
changes
that
we've
done
is
it's
it's
not
primarily
around
deterring
or
detecting
criminal
activity.
K
Finally,
we've
one
of
the
pieces
that
you've
seen
the
report
is
on
an
annual
basis.
The
City
Clerk's
Department
was
providing
an
update
to
the
administrative
policies
committee.
With
respect
to
the
number
of
times
the
Kingston
police
requested
to
view
video
surveillance
footage,
as
well
as
any
changes
made
to
the
policy.
So
as
the
report
speaks
we're
going
to
we're
plan
to
discontinue
this
presentation
of
the
information
and
on
a
go-forward
basis,
we
will
update
the
policy
and
the
policies
available
to
the
public
on
the
city's
website,
and
so
those
changes
will
be
available.
B
H
K
Through
mr.
chair,
the
members
of
the
public
can
make
a
formal
Freedom
of
Information
request
for
video
surveillance
footage,
but
if
the
video
surveillance
footage
contains
the
personal
information
of
another
identifiable
individual,
so
that's
another
member
of
the
public.
We
cannot
disclose
that
footage
to
that
individual.
So
in
in
an
in
an
instance
that
could
be
that
that
individual
is
the
only
person
available
on
the
footage
they
can
be
provided
with
that
information.
H
H
K
It
it
could
be
both
it
could
be
granted
by
a
judge,
but
it's
also
for
the
police
to
request
that
information.
It
has
to
be
an
active
investigation,
so
we
we
don't
disclose
that
information.
If
a
police
officer
came
to
City
Hall
and
just
requested
it,
it
has
to
be
provided
in
writing.
They
have
to
state
that
it's
to
aid
in
an
investigation,
most
cases
a
badge
number
and/or,
an
investigation
number
provided.
E
A
F
Thank
You
mr.
chair
and
thank
you
for
the
report.
The
angle
I
was
looking
at
would
be
on
the
overcrowding
of
taste
on
transit
buses.
I
talked
about
this
before
they
got
EIT
P
and
right
now
there
are
no
capacity
than
its
supposed
to
do,
and
I
drove
number
of
situations
as
a
Kingston
transit
pass
holder
use
the
bus
once
or
twice
a
day
or
sometimes
more.
The
service
is
outstanding.
F
So
these
are
big
people
with
pads,
and
this
row
thing
had
one
a
little
while
ago,
where
it
was
a
outing
with
young
children
getting
on
downtown
a
couple
of
adults
with
maybe
25
young
children
during
rush
hour
and
so
I'm
just
wondering
if
that
is
going
to
be
possibly
documented
and
and
addressed,
because
if
you
have
a
situation
with
that
many
standees,
your
your
registry
of
safety
zone.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you
for
the
question
through
you,
mr.
chair
the
issue
of
the
number
of
patrons
on
the
on
the
transit
bus.
It
will
be
documented
by
the
fact
that
the
video
surveillance
cameras
will
be
recording
the
information,
so
be
recording
the
number
of
people
that
are
on
the
bus.
The
video
surveillance
system
will
not
be
used
for
that
purpose
specifically,
but
if
there
are
complaints,
if
there
are
reasons
that
Kingstown
transit
needs
to
review
some
of
their
service,
they
can
use
the
video
surveillance
for
that
purpose.
A
Okay,
so
the
recommendation
is
that
the
administrative
policies
committee
recommend
to
council
the
approval
of
the
attached
amended
video
surveillance
policy
as
it
relates
to
video
surveillance
systems
used
in
and
around
city
owned
or
operated
buildings
properties
in
vehicles
do
I
have
a
mover
moved
by
Councillor
a
second
up,
a
counselor
of
sanik?
Do
we
have
any
further
comments
on
a
counselor
shot,
I.
H
Was
impressed
by
by
this
item
and
the
the
guidelines
from
the
from
Ontario
there
was
an
essay
appendix
has
a
useful
quote
right
under
the
front
cover
and
I
just
going
to
read
it
out
for
the
members
of
the
public.
So
it
says
quote:
if
all
that
has
to
be
done
to
win
legal
and
social
approval
for
surveillance
is
to
point
to
a
social
problem
and
show
that
surveillance
would
help
to
cope
with
it.
H
Then
there
is
no
balancing
at
all,
but
only
a
qualifying
procedure
for
a
license
to
invade
privacy
and
I
just
bring
that
up,
because
that
that's
the
balancing
act
that
we
had
to
achieve
with
it.
With
this
policy,
the
it's
an
inherent
invasion
of
privacy
to
record
someone
with
this
sort
of
a
24-hour
date
camera-
or
you
know,
surveillance,
which
is
just
the
eye,
but
never
blinking
eye
right.
It's
it's
an
inherent
invasion
of
privacy,
but
I
actually
think
in
the
case
of
transit.
H
It's
a
great
idea
and
the
and
and
the
other
uses
that
are
in
the
policy
home
that
are
long-standing,
makes
sense
as
well.
I
think
the
technology
is
there
and
the
challenge
becomes
the
protection
of
the
individual's
right
to
privacy
in
the
in
the
in
the
gathering
of
the
information
and
that's
what
this
policy
is
about
and
I'm
satisfied
that
it
achieves
that
goal.
It
does
seem
to
take
that
quote,
and
the
privacy
concern
to
heart
in
in
the
way
that
it's
constructed
and
I'm
happy
to
support
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
L
Okay,
that's
fine,
so
I
guess
I'll
get
started,
while
the
screens
in
the
whole
system
is
still
warming
up,
so
Thank
You
mr.
chair
and
members
of
the
committee.
So
we
do
have
a
brief
presentation
for
you
tonight
and
I
know.
You
have
a
tremendous
amount
of
information
in
your
package
as
far
as
public
engagement
is
concerned,
as
you
know,
it's
a
council
priority
and
it's
a
process
that
started
in
2016
15.
L
L
I
know,
you've
already
heard
it
so
I
do
want
to
focus
more
on
the
steps
that
we
took
from
April
till
till
now
we
did
have
a
second
and
third
round
of
public
engagement
so
to
gain
feedback
input
on
the
draft
that
was
presented
took
place
between
May
and
August,
and
what
you
have
in
front
of
you
tonight
is
a
draft
for
your
consideration
and
approval.
There
has
been
a
lot
of
changes.
L
So
in
terms
of
what
we
heard
around
the
second
and
third
round
of
public
engagement
consultation,
we
did
continue
to
hear
some
comments
about
negative
tone
of
the
the
document.
So
some
members
of
the
community
still
felt
that
we
weren't
we
weren't
being
open
enough
and
in
really
welcoming
and
as
far
as
the
engagement
of
the
public,
so
we
have
made
significant
changes
to
the
draft
that
you
have
in
front
of
you,
based
on
that
feedback
and
input
that
we
did
receive.
L
We
also
had
a
lot
of
comments
about
the
look
and
feel
of
the
framework.
A
lot
of
people
felt
it
was
too
long,
so
the
original
document
was
longer
obviously
than
what
you
have
now.
We
did
go
back.
We
removed
what
the
public
felt
was
a
lot
of
duplication
in
the
document,
so
we
were
able
to
do
that.
We
also
included
an
executive
summary
that
was
a
recommendation
of
the
public
as
well.
L
They
felt
that
if
we
had
something
that
was
just
a
few
pages,
that
it
would
be
more
practical
for
most
members
of
the
public
and
if
they
wanted
to
get
more
details
and
they
could
get
into
the
framework,
we
did
get
comments
about
the
fact
that
we
needed
to
make
sure
that
the
city
was
fully
committed
to
public
engagement.
So
some
of
the
recommendations
from
the
public
were
that
we
should
have
a
charter,
so
public
engagement
charter.
L
L
We
had
a
lot
of
comments
and
I
would
say,
probably
more
around
the
second
and
third
round
around
implementation.
So
that's
where
a
lot
of
comments
and
questions
we're
coming
up
in
terms
of
how
are
we
going
to
make
sure
that
the
public
is
aware
that
public
engagement
is
take
place?
How
are
we
gonna
provide
support
for
single
parents
that
may
want
to
attend
meetings
with
their
their
children?
What
are
we
going
to
do
so?
A
lot
of
that
actually
will
be
covered
by
Debbie
Miller
as
she
gets
through
the
implementation
piece.
L
L
We
received
a
lot
of
comments
in
question
about
why
planning
and
era
tidge
applications
were
not
included
as
part
of
this
framework.
So
for
the
two
members
of
council
that
sit
on
the
era,
tijd
committee
they're
very
familiar
with
the
fact
that
when
we
receive
a
application
for
era
tidge,
we
only
have
90
days
to
process
the
application
and
get
a
council
approval.
That
includes
from
the
time
we
receive
the
application.
It's
deemed
to
be
complete
staff
review
at
write.
L
A
report
go
to
era
touch
committee
which
meets
once
a
month,
and
then
it
makes
it
to
council
which
ever
following
meeting
that
might
be
so
to
extend
that
timeframe
would
probably
mean
that
the
council
wouldn't
get
to
approve
many
era,
tidge
applications,
because
if
we
don't
meet
the
90
days,
the
application
is
deemed
to
be
approved
automatically,
and
that's
not
something
that
is
fair
to
to
council.
So
we
did
explain
that
to
the
public.
L
As
you
know,
planning
also
has
a
certain
time
frame
related
to
planning
applications
and
decision-making,
and
members
of
the
plant
for
those
of
you
are
also
members
of
the
planning
committee.
You're,
also
aware
that
there
are
some
changes
that
are
coming
in
terms
of
public
participation
in
the
planning
process
and
that
will
be
coming
to
council
the
same
meeting
as
this
framework
will
be
for
council
consideration.
L
L
I
know
that
the
presentation
or
the
portion
of
the
presentation
on
the
implementation
plan
will
touch
on
a
number
of
initiatives
to
remove
barriers
as
well
and
council
support
was
actually
brought
up
on
April
25th
by
some
members
of
council
that
wish
to
have
more
logistical
support
to
help
plan
and
organize
some
of
their
public
engagement
activities
within
their
districts.
So
that's
something
that
is
going
to
be
provided
through
the
clerk's
office
and
it's
identified
in
the
report
as
well.
L
So
I
wanted
to
do
a
bit
of
a
slide
that,
where
I
want
to
make
sure
we
were
able
to
provide
you
with
some
clear
messages
around
public
engagement,
because
I
think
the
framework
has
been
has
gone
through
significant
input
and
I.
Think
that
when
we
look
at
other
communities,
it
is
a
very
strong
framework,
but
it
doesn't
mean
that
we're
gonna
now
start
to
do
public
engagement
because
we've
never
done
it.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
clear
that
the
city
has
been
doing
public
engagement
in
different
ways.
L
L
The
public
engagement
framework
in
its
recommendation
will
most
likely
result
in
taking
more
time
and
more
money
for
a
number
of
initiatives.
There's
no
doubt
about
that.
You
probably
have
seen
in
the
report
that
part
of
the
recommendations
are
to
include
funding
for
the
support
of
a
facilitator,
for
example,
for
various
situations
where
public
engagement
may
not
have
been
planned
as
part
of
a
project.
L
It
also
doesn't
mean
that
everybody
will
be
supportive
of
the
outcome.
So
that's
I
think
a
very
key
piece,
because
there
is
a
feeling
or
a
sense,
that
if
staff
did
public
engagement
properly,
then
everybody
would
be
supportive
and
pleased
with
the
outcome,
and
that's
not
what
Public
Engagement
means.
It
really
means
that
people
had
the
opportunity
to
be
part
of
the
process,
they
were
heard,
they
were
considered
and
they
were
informed
of
the
outcome
and
the
results.
L
It's
also
about
opening
up
the
dialogue
between
members
of
the
public
members
of
council
and
staff
and
to
make
sure
that
we're
looking
at
that
in
a
more
collaborative
way.
It's
about
removing
some
barriers
and
and
I
know
that
Debbie
will
touch
on
that.
A
little
bit
more
and
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
clear
that
this
is
the
framework
that
you
have
in
front
of
you
and
it
will
need
to
be
reviewed
at
some
point
in
time.
L
We
understand
that
we're
gonna
roll
it
out
and
they're
gonna,
be
things
are
gonna
work
well
and
things
that
don't
work
so
well,
and
we
will
hear
that
and
we
will
get
that
feedback
from
the
public
in
the
community.
So
we
expect
that
within
the
next
year
or
two
we'll
be
back
with
some
proposed
changes
and
amendments
to
reflect
that
so
we'll
down
with
that
I'll
pass
it
along
to
to
Debbie
and
we
can
take
questions
after.
M
Thank
you.
So
the
implementation
plan
was
definitely
a
piece
that
the
public
provided
a
lot
of
input
and
there
was
a
lot
of
questions
surrounding
the
implementation
plan.
So,
as
a
starting
point,
we
put
together
some
identifiable
objectives
and
priorities
for
the
implementation
plan.
They
include
collaboration
and
outreach,
training
and
awareness,
communications,
status,
report
and
evaluation
and
then
the
overall
evaluation,
so
I'm
just
going
to
walk
through
these
with
you
just
for
awareness.
M
It
could
be
posters
that
they
could
share
with
their
groups
and
organizations
again
to
distribute
more
information
about
public
engagement
so
that
we're
getting
the
message
broader
so
that
more
people
are
learning
about
it.
Some
of
the
organizations
that
we
worked
with
through
this
process
have
groups
of
300
members
that
we
don't
have
all
of
their
contact
information,
but
they
have
that
information.
So
it's
again
trying
to
get
out
to
that
network
and
working
with
them
closely.
M
An
internal
engagement
group
so
again
working
with
staff
internally
working
collaboratively
meeting
regularly
to
talk
about
issues
that
have
come
up.
Lessons,
learned
ideas,
challenges
and
trying
to
really
come
together
and
have
some
conversations
trying
to
be
connected.
Where,
where
can
we
work
together
and
potentially
piggyback
on
some
of
the
sessions
that
are
happening
so
that
you
know
we're
eliminating
some
of
the
duplication
of
having
multiple
sessions
as
well?
It's
also
an
opportunity
to
bring
some
ideas
together
and
say.
M
This
worked
really
well
or
this
time
of
day
isn't
working
so
well
so
another
opportunity
to
continue
to
improve
what
we're
hearing
from
the
public.
What
we're
hearing
from
city
staff
and
what
we're
hearing
from
Council
to
the
activity
bags
was
definitely
one
of
the
pieces
that
we've
identified
to
try
and
remove
barriers
so
that
parents
with
young
children
can
bring
them
to
sessions.
We
would
have
the
bags
available
at
the
sessions.
They
can
grab
the
bags.
They
don't
need
to
return
them.
M
They
can
take
them
home
with
them
at
the
end
of
the
session,
but
they
can
work
quietly
on
an
activity
bag
that
would
include
various
activities
colorings
and
things
like
that
within
that.
So
that
was
definitely
a
piece
that
we're
trying
to
work
with
parents
and
and
families
to
accommodate
bringing
kids
to
activity
sessions.
I
know
some
of
the
sessions
I've
been
involved
with
with
them
some
of
the
working,
the
different
groups,
the
Bell
Park
group.
There
was
kids
that
came
to
that
session
and
they
were
they
participated
in
the
session.
M
So
it's
really
exciting
to
see
that
happen
as
well.
So
the
training
is
another
piece
of
training
and
awareness,
so
we've
identified
different
training
for
city
employees
being
the
IEP
being
the
International
Association
for
public
participation,
the
planning
and
techniques
training.
So
that's
definitely
one
that
we
want
to
roll
out
to
staff
that
are
very
involved
with
the
planning
of
public
engagement,
Council
and
senior
leaders.
I
M
You
and
then
the
other
piece
that
was
identified
by
residents
during
our
sessions
was
they
were
interested
in
being
trained
on
on
an
awareness
of
IEP,
but
also
on
an
awareness
of
the
public
engagement
piece
and
then
the
online
platform
as
well.
So
there
was
lots
of
interest
there.
So
again,
we'd
be
working
with
the
residents
to
establish
that
training
in
the
awareness
and
then
how
often
we
would
roll
that
out
would
depend
on
the
the
interest
coming
from
the
public
again
the
awareness
piece
for
staff.
It
would
definitely
once
the
framework
is
approved.
M
I
will
spend
lots
of
time
going
out
to
departments
to
make
them
aware
of
the
framework
to
make
them
aware
of
the
resources
that
are
available
to
staff
as
well,
and
then
the
online
platform
as
well
walking
through
those
pieces
making
sure
that
staff
are
supported
through
the
implementation
process,
just
so
that
we
make
sure
we've
got
that
consistency
out
there
across
the
city.
It's
going
to
take
time.
M
It's
going
to
take
time
to
get
to
that
point
where
we're
we're
all
being
consistent,
but
we're
definitely
excited
to
get
there
and
looking
forward
to
that
peace
facilitation
is
definitely
another
piece
that
we've
identified,
we're
looking
to
do
an
RFI
which
would
identify
facilitators.
So
we
would
have
a
list
of
facilitators
to
draw
from
there's
definitely
times
where
there's
unplanned
or
unanticipated
projects
that
come
up
where
it
hasn't
been
accounted
for
for
facilitation
as
well.
M
M
Communications,
so
Communications
is
definitely
a
really
critical
piece
with
public
engagement,
and
so
we
have
put
together
a
communication
strategy
and
it
was
included
with
the
implementation
plan.
So
it
speaks
high
level
to
what
we
would
do,
but
there
would
obviously
be
a
lot
more
detail
included
in
the
communications
plans
that
would
be
rolled
out,
so
we
would
look
to
do
one
for
the
online
platform
and
one
for
public
engagement
that
would
be
ongoing.
They
would
be.
Can
there
would
be
different
messaging
different
times.
We
would
use
different
mediums
as
well.
M
The
online
public
engagement
platform
is
a
really
exciting
piece
that
we
are
looking
to
launch
in
October.
More
details,
I
will
send
out
an
email
and
talk
to
everybody
again
about
I
would
be
happy
to
sit
down
with
you
and
walk
you
through
the
platform
as
well.
Just
to
for
awareness,
it's
going
to
link
directly
from
the
main
page
of
the
city
of
kingston
website
from
the
get
involved
button.
So
you'll
go
in
there.
M
The
calendar
will
still
reside
at
the
bottom
of
that
page,
and
then
you
can
click
into
the
platform
at
the
top,
we're
doing
it.
As
a
pilot
project
for
18
months,
just
to
make
sure
that
everybody
is
comfortable
with
the
platform
and
it's
doing
what
we
want
it
to
do
as
well,
there's
going
to
be
people
can
sign
up.
They
can
provide
input.
You
can
bring
ideas
forward.
You
can
view
other
people's
comments.
There's
gonna
be
different
tools
that
will
be
used.
There's
a
survey
there's
a
poll
there's
an
ideation
tool.
M
You
can
bring
stories
or
photos
forward
depending
on
the
project
that
you're
working
on.
We
will
assess
and
determine
what
are
the
best
tools
to
be
using
and
will
definitely
work
with
the
subject
matter.
Experts
to
bring
those
forward
again
a
great
way
to
share
ideas.
We
can
also
share
emails
out
when
there's
project
updates
on
specific
projects,
so
that
will
be
an
exciting
piece.
There's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
promotion
or
that
getting
residents
to
sign
up
for
the
platform
and
be
able
to
provide
input
on
that.
M
So
just
staying
in
touch
the
evaluation
again
at
the
end
of
projects
or
phases
of
projects,
there
will
be
evaluations
but
evaluations
both
for
city
employees,
to
talk
about
how
things
went,
how
well
things
went,
and
also
for
residents
to
evaluate
the
process
that
they
went
through
as
well.
So
those
are
both
critical
pieces
again
that
we've
heard
from
residents
and
again
working
with
them
hearing
the
good,
the
bad
and
the
ugly
allows
us
to
improve
and
make
things
better.
M
So
it's
really
definitely
a
big
piece
and
then
the
overall
evaluation
identified
in
2019
doing
an
overall
evaluation
reviewing
the
worksheets,
the
platform,
the
resources,
the
materials
additional
areas
that
are
identified,
I'm,
not
suggesting.
We
would
wait
until
2019
and
do
the
complete
evaluation
we'll
continue
to
evaluate
throughout
the
process.
But
that's
when
we
would
come
forward
with
some
recommendations
on
some
changes
and
that
so
there's
lots
going
on
I'm
sure
we'll
identify
some
new
areas
as
well
as
we
go
through
the
process
and
work
with
staff
closely
in
residents
and
council.
M
A
E
Budget
just
reading
all
of
this
and
realizing
how
much
time
and
effort
and-
and
actually
it
doesn't
even
talk
about
the
fact
that
for
for
a
lot
of
projects-
and
usually
it's
going
to
be
a
big
project,
I
think
we're
gonna
have
to
budget
to
do
this.
You're
gonna
need
probably
extra
staff.
You've
talked
about
the
facilitator.
E
L
We
had
last
year,
the
interim
Control
bylaw.
So
this
came
up
and
it's
not
that
we
had.
You
know
planned
for
this
and
included
in
the
budget,
and
we
knew
that
it
was
going
to
be
quite
a
controversial
meeting
and
it
was
probably
best
to
have
somebody
who
was
neutral
to
help
facilitate
that
and
that's
where
we
brought
in
the
services
of
a
facilitator,
which
I
think
was
very
worthwhile
and
positive.
But
you
are
correct.
That's
where,
in
the
2018-19
budget,
we're
gonna
have
to
see
some
funds
being
allocated
for
that
type
of
support
service.
L
There
are
a
number
of
things
that
I
believe
are
already
included
in
in
our
existing
budget,
such
as
the
engagement
platform
for
that
pilot
period
of
time
that's
already
covered
in
the
existing
budget.
So
there
are
things
that
are.
There
are
things
we
understand
are
gonna,
be
above
and
beyond.
There's,
no
doubt
that
I
think
will
it
will
require
more
staff
time,
especially
probably
from
a
communications
perspective.
L
When
we
look
at
the
efforts
that
will
have
to
go
into
the
communication
plan,
as
well
as
the
evaluation
after
the
engagement
activity,
so
that
that
will
be
additional
work
from
a
staff
perspective
in
terms
of
the
I'm
gonna,
say,
content,
expert,
I
think
a
lot
of
them
are
already
doing,
even
though
we
have
a
framework
coming
into
place,
I
think
a
lot
of
them
are
already
doing
significant
public
engagement,
but
it
is
very
time-consuming.
There's
there's
no
question
about
that,
and.
E
On
top
of
that
becomes
I
think
one
of
the
biggest
things
that
we're
going
to
learn
is
about
managing
expectations,
because
the
more
we
are
inviting
the
public
to
become
involved.
We're
also
saying
we
might
not
be
able
to
accommodate
you
without
winding
up
with
people
saying
well,
I
knew
you
weren't
gonna,
listen
anyway,
so
I
think
that
seems
to
be
a
big
piece
of
all
of
this.
Would
you
agree
through.
L
You,
mr.
chair,
absolutely
and
that's
why
I
wanted
to
put
it
somewhere
on
this
slide
that
public
engagement
doesn't
mean
everybody
will
be
supportive
of
the
initiative
at
the
end
of
the
process
and
I.
Think
part
of
it
in
terms
of
trying
to
manage
expectation,
will
be
to
be
able
to
respond
to
all
the
comments
in
a
similar
way
that
we've
been
doing
for
this
project
and
for
some
of
the
other
projects
as
well.
A
F
F
So
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
that
and
I
think.
This
report
is
also
it's
more
streamlined
and
more
compact,
and
just
better
than
the
earlier
draft
that
we
had
so
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
gets
recognized,
saluted
okay,
so
I'm
gonna
start
off.
As
my
first
question
has
to
do
with
the
phrase
that
was
used
during
the
briefing
which
is
major
project.
F
Okay,
I'm
not
sure
if
the
major
project
has
ever
been
defined
in
terms
of
what
that
means,
whether
it's
a
in
terms
of
complexity,
if
it's
a
physical
area
of
the
facility
or
say
a
park,
that's
being
looked
at
or
the
cost
or
what
so
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
that.
A
bit
more
I'm
gonna
get
into
the
file
for
which
I
sort
of
coming
down
here
about
five
years
ago,
which
is
vel
park,
and
that's
coming
to
a
vote
on
Tuesday
with
report
on
that.
F
F
Guess
my
first
point
has
to
do
with
in
terms
of
access
to
data
and
I
know
that
during
the
open
government
discussion
back
when
this
was
being
talked
about
four
priorities
of
counsel-
that
there
was
an
idea
of
putting
historical
data
for
the
City
of
Kingston
online
right.
You've
got
current
meetings
and
agendas
and
minutes
in
that
court.
Sure
thing
on
wine
for
a
certain
number
of
years,
but
you've
also
got
a
lot
of
historical
records
that
are
not
available
to
the
public.
F
You
can't
go
to
the
library
and
get
it
or
like
you
can't
get
it
online.
So
I'm
wondering
what
the
status
of
that
for
exact
now
I
wanted
to
talk
about
the
order
of
how
the
steps
get
done,
and
this
is
cited
with
the
major
project
I
consider
ballpark
of
nature
protect
because
it's
100
hundred
acres
right.
That's
a
large
piece
of
land
and.
F
I've
been
seeking
data
on
ball
park
fairies,
as
some
people
know
for
five
years
and
I
can't
get
it
so
I'm
concerned
with
that.
It
would
have
impacted
the
debate
in
very
major
way,
and
my
final
point
is
that
I
had
a
city,
a
sitting
city
councillor,
send
an
email
to
me,
which
said
that
he
was
directing
staff
to
not
answer
my
questions
and
that
that
was
being
discussed
actively
with
staff.
I
got
the
email
on
file
I'm,
not
making
this
up
and
I
raised
it
before
at
committees.
F
So
that
kind
of
thing
is
not
how
I
want.
My
city
run.
Okay,
it's
bigger
than
me,
and
it's
bigger
than
the
file
that
I've
been
working
on,
and
you
look
at
what
the
Act
says
about
that.
That
might
be
getting
close
to
a
violation
of
the
Act
I,
don't
want
for
sure
I've
not
taken
it
to
informal
tribunal.
But
what
I
did
do
was
they
visited
the
office
of
the
ombudsman
of
Ontario
earlier
this
year
and
discussed
the
data
accessibility?
F
They
said
they
get
requests
from
around
the
province
like
that
on
a
daily
basis
and
what
they
normally
do
is
they
get
in
touch
with
the
city
employee
and
they
direct
them
to
supply
the
information.
So
I've
not
gone
that
route.
Yet
I
could
go
there,
but
I'm
hoping
we
can
get
that
data
out
to
talk
about
it
without
having
to
go
there,
because
we've
had
to
review
for
five
years
and
the
data
I'm
seeking
30.
N
F
A
period
of
time
when
that
the
Saudi
did
well,
you
would
think
the
city
employees
would
want
to
bring
that
data
forward,
so
they
could
show
that
the
facility
was
doing
well.
That's
one
plan,
I
know
what
now
it's
struggling
right,
but
there
was
a
bias,
implicit
in
the
way
that
that
was
done.
Thank
you.
A
L
Mister
chairs,
so
in
terms
of
major
project,
I
think
that
I
may
have
used
the
wrong
term.
I
should
have
utilized
planned
project
and
really
that's
what
I
meant
to
say.
Those
are
the
ones
that
are
typically
included
in
our
budget,
and
that
was
the
the
message
I
that
I
was
trying
to
get
across
as
far
as
documentation.
L
I
can
tell
you
that
if
something
is
not
available
online,
any
member
of
the
public
can
put
in
a
request
through
the
clerk's
office,
an
amphipathic
West
to
access
documents
that
may
be
archived
and
if
the
documents
are
available
and
can
be
released,
the
clerk's
office
would
do
that
and
I
know.
Unfortunately,
the
clerk
had
to
leave
but
I'm
sure
that
he
could
have
commented
on
that
further.
A
So
the
recommendations
that
council
endorsed
the
City
of
Kingston
public
engagement,
Charter
and
the
City
of
Kingston
public
engagement
framework
included
as
Exhibit
A
and
B
of
the
report
number
aap
1703
1
respectively,
and
that
council
direct
staff
to
include
baseline
funding
amounts,
baseline
funding
amounts
and
the
operational
budget
to
cover
the
cost
of
facilitation
and
logistical
elements
of
public
engagement
for
projects
or
initiatives
that
are
unplanned
or
uninformed
include
appropriate.
Funding
for
public
engagement
activities.
A
H
Like
to
personally
thank
staff
for
the
obvious
hours
and
hours
and
hours
of
work
gone
into,
this
I
can't
think
I
was
just
coming
in
counselor,
so
I
can't
think
of
a
larger
topic
to
have
to
try
to
tackle
you
could
say
public
engagement
strategies
to
encourage
public
engagement.
That
is
actually
something
that
everyone
in
almost
any
job
has
to
ask
to
be
aware
of,
for
example,
as
a
nurse
I
go
in
to
my
room
and
to
the
patient's
room
and
I,
don't
find
a
way
to
get
the
patient
to
talk
to
me.
H
H
You
can
never
quite
catch
it,
but
it's
something
to
strive
for
and
it
is,
it
makes
our
jobs
legitimate
when
we
we,
as
councillors,
have
this
reality
and
there's
not
a
single
one
of
us
here
that
could
expect
to
get
reelected
or
elected
in
the
first
place.
If
people
didn't
think
we
were
gonna,
listen
to
them,
so
it's
a
reality
that
we
live
directly
in
our
jobs,
but
I
think
for
the
city
to
achieve,
in
the
current
climate,
to
achieve
any
semblance
of
something
legitimate
that
the
public
will
accept.
H
And
many
of
the
comments
in
this
package
are
of
that
nature.
That's
a
major
achievement
and
something
to
build
on
and
and
one
day
we
can
get.
We
can
say
to
ourselves:
the
city
believes
in
what
we
do
and
they
they
trust
us
something
they
trust
that
we
listen
to
them.
Then
we've
got
a
democracy,
so
we're
not
there
yet.
But
thank
you
for
this
great
first
step
and
I
wholeheartedly
support
it.
N
Echo
those
words
Peter.
Thank
you
for
saying
that
I'm
very
impressed
with
that
work.
I
didn't
even
know
this
was
being
done
so
I'm
still
a
newbie
here,
but
very
well
done
and
just
for
clarity,
because
I
don't
know
it
all
you're
saying
any
project
that
goes
through
planning.
Is
it's
open
to
the
planning
review
like
this
any
I
guess
they're
a
certain
size
or
not.
L
Through
you,
mr.
chair,
so
in
terms
of
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
you're
asking
the
question
about
the
planning
kind
of
the
planning
department
and
world,
but
I'm
gonna
try
to
maybe
answer
your
question
in
different
two
different
ways.
So
if
your
question
is
in
regards
to
planning
application,
so
the
applications
themselves
go
through
the
committee
and
there's
a
very
specific
process
that
needs
to
respect
provincial
legislations.
L
E
You,
yes,
a
huge
amount
of
work
has
gone
into
this.
Oh
I,
just
thought
of
another
one
in
the
time,
then
I
think
it's
only
the
last
year
we've
had
the
official
plan,
which
involved
incredible
numbers
of
meetings
and
reaching
out
to
people
and
I
think
eventually,
people
felt
pretty
satisfied.
The
third
crossing
that
was
an
incredible
amount
of
reaching
out
personally
and
then
the
Shockers
671
Brock
Street,
turned
into
an
incredibly
contentious
reaching
out
that
actually
has
finally
settled
into
something
that
we
can
all
live
with.
E
Well,
most
of
us
can
interim
control
by
law
was
the
other,
the
that
was
contentious,
but
it
moved
through.
Nobody
was
seriously
damaged
because
sometimes
it
feels
that
way,
and
then
the
pan
visioning
penitentiary,
Portsmouth
Harbor.
So
we've
done
a
lot
of
big
things
in
a
year,
I
mean
it's
really
incredible
and
and
been
very
well
done.
I
mean
I've
got
to
congratulate
staff
for
the
reaction
time
being
very
Swift
and
sort
of
we
have.
E
We
have
trouble
we're
gonna,
handle
it
as
quickly
as
possible
or
we're
gonna
do
something
as
quickly
as
possible
to
see
if
we
can
defuse
the
issue
and
get
everyone
listening
to
each
other.
So
it's
it
is
very
big
and
we've
already
you're
right.
We've
been
at
it
hard
I'm,
hoping
things
calm
down
kid
go,
oh
my
god
Catco
and
that
wasn't
even
really
ours
in
many
ways.
E
But
yes,
we've
been
through
a
lot
and
I
read
about
Toronto
and
other
cities,
and
you
know
they
have
the
same
difficulties,
but
in
our
small
city
we
we've
dealt
with
a
lot
in
the
last
well
and
I'm
really
glad
we
have
the
framework.
But
really
we've
been
doing
a
lot
of
this
for
the
last
year.
Now
it's
money,
it's
more
formalized
and
and
I
think
there's
less
chance.
People
will
feel
left
out
with
it
having
a
great
platform
like
this.
So
thank
you
very
much
and
I'm
happy
to
vote
for
it.
I.
A
O
You
mr.
chair
so
I
appreciate
the
comments
that
counsel
have
made.
This
was
a
significant
undertaking
undertake
and
we
we
do
believe
that
we
have
practice
over
the
years,
transparency
and
and
public
engagement.
We
we
understand
that
we
can
always
do
better
and
I
think
when
we
started
into
this
I
was
a
commitment
that
I
made
and
senior
staff
meeting
I
want
to
recognize
that
work,
that
staff
have
done,
and
I
also
want
to
recognize
the
contributions
that
the
public
have
made
to
the
input
to
be
able
to
create
this
document.
O
As
miss
hurdle
said
earlier,
you
you
do
get
a
lot
of
feedback.
You
know
from
a
lot
of
different
areas.
Some
some
feedback
is
within
the
context
that
you're
trying
to
engage
people,
and
some
feedback
is
totally
outside
that
particular
context,
and
but
you
have
to
be
respectful
and
and
and
deal
with
the
information
that
you
receive
in
the
feedback
loop.
O
You
have
all
of
your
senior
staff
members
here
tonight.
The
reason
all
of
those
people
are
in
this
room
is
because
we
want
to
demonstrate
that
we're
making
a
commitment
to
continue
to
make
public
engagement
of
highest
priorities
so
that
we
can
build
trust,
maintain
and
deliver
integrity
and
advance
this
particular
community.
O
So,
as
a
chief
administrative
officer,
I'm
really
pleased
to
see
those
folks
in
this
room
tonight
and
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
that
that
led
this
and
I
want
to
support
the
staff
that
are
going
to
be
implementing
it,
because
it
is
going
to
be
a
holistic
effort
by
those
that
lead
projects,
those
that
lead
change,
those
that
lead
program,
advice,
and/or,
education
and
and
the
support
requirements
that
it
will
take
both
from
the
communications
department
and
from
the
clerk's
department.
So
thank
you
mr.
chair,
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
A
And
thank
you
for
your
comments
so
now
we'll
vote
on
the
recommendation.
All
of
those
in
favor
and
that
passes.
Moving
on
to
business
item,
G,
Reid
or

home
Board
of
management
will
need
a
mover
and
seconder
to
resolve
into
the
board
of

Councillor
sanic

P
Yes,
Thank
You
mr.
chair
highlights
from
this
reporter
as
follows.
The
following
report
is
for
June
2017
through
to
the
end
of
July.
The
home
is
maintained
in
occupancy
rate
of
ninety
nine
point:
two
five
percent.
Throughout
this
time
period,
the
home
had
four
incidents
reportable
to
the
Ministry
of
Health
and
long-term
care.
Throughout
those
two
months,
the
Ministry
of
Health
and
long-term
care
did
visit
the
home
in
July
for
three
days
to
complete
an
inspection
on
two
critical
incidents.
Upon
completion
of
this
inspection,
there
was
no
non-compliance
issued.
P
The
home
has
completed
our
annual
work
life
pulse
survey
for
2017,
which
assesses
employees
overall
job
satisfaction.
The
leadership
team
has
taken
the
results
from
this
survey
and
created
an
action
plan
to
address
staff,
satisfaction
and
focus
on
employee
engagement.
This
action
plan
has
been
provided
to
you
in
a
supplemental
report
tonight.
As
of
the
end
of
July,
the
home
has
maintained
being
twelve
thousand
four
hundred
fifty
eight
dollars
under
spent
in
its
operating
budget.
Thank
you.
G
You
through
you,
mr.
chair
I,
just
want
to
test
two
questions
about
financials
and
I,
see
that
some
areas
are
overspent,
but
some
areas
are
under
spent
and
the
two
that
are
under
spent
dietary
and
life
enrichment,
like
to
me
food,
is
really
important
and
life
enrichment,
you
know,
contributes
to
the
mental
health
or
well-being
of
the
residents,
so
I'm
just
wondering
what's
made
dietary,
you
know
almost
$100,000
under
spent.
G
Are
we
not
doing
any
steak
and
everybody's
having
beans
and
sausage
and
passed
like
that's
my
concern
like
I,
says
everybody
margarine
and
we're
not
providing
any
butter
like
high-wire.
It
just
seems
that
we're
we're
overspent
how
we're
making
up
we're
we're
overspent
is
by
you
know,
I'm,
making
the
food
less
tasty,
maybe
and
for
Life
Enrichment
73,000
under
spent.
Is
that
because
is
that
a
difference
of
somebody's
salary
like
there's
a
vacancy
there,
that
we
haven't
filled
or
what?
How
are
we
73
thousand
under
spent
for
life
enrichment
through.
Q
Q
L
Chair
I
just
want
to
add
that
I
think
there
were
a
number
of
concern.
Express
around
me,
the
food
specifically,
we
we
don't.
We
haven't
changed
our
practice
in
terms
of
the
food
and
we
do
work
with
residents
in
terms
their
food
preferences
as
well.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that's
clear
that
it's
not
that
there
have
been
reductions
there.
A
F
Yeah
destroy
briefly
I
want
to
commend
the
employees
and
staff
who
works
with
them.
For
this
I
know,
the
Breda
crust
is
doing
very
well
and
just
going
bad
recently,
I
notice
that
they're
now
flying
a
flag
which
states
that
them
and
highly
accredited.
So
you
can
see
that
as
you
go
by
so
looks,
great
and
I
should
see
the
recognition
and
people
will
see
that
I
don't
know
what
Shawn.
Oh.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
You
mr.
Dixon.
Now
this
had
reports
for
information
purposes.
Only
I'll
need
a
mover
to
rise
from
the
board
and
management
of
Rita
crest,

sanic
