A
A
A
Okay,

we
have
nothing
from
committee
of
the
whole
information

We
do
have
an
information
report,
but
before
that
we
have
a
briefing
donna,
gillespie
chief
executive
officer.
Keiko
will
brief
counsel
with
respect
to
information
report
number
one:
cova
19
business
response
recovery
plan.
F
We
know
that
covet
19
has
changed
the
economic
landscape
locally,
nationally
and
globally,
with
rapidly
changing
realities.
Kingston
has
been
facing
unprecedented
challenges
over
the
last
seven
weeks
from
layoffs
and
business
shutdowns
to
navigating
government
relief
programs
calls
for
ppe
production
and
supplies
our
businesses,
our
employers,
our
workforce
and
our
community
has
been
impacted.
F
Kingston
economic
development
corporation
has
brought
forward
a
short-term
recovery
plan
and
an
update
on
what
we
have
been
doing
hearing
and
a
direction
to
go
with
the
understanding
that
we
don't
have
full
clarity
on
what
the
future
holds
or
full
direction
from
the
province
and
public
health.
At
this
time,.
F
F
Our
priority
is
to
support
support
local
businesses
through
the
current
crisis,
to
opening
whatever
day
that
may
be,
and
through
possible
multi-year
adjustments
in
recovery,
we
need
to
limit
the
effects
of
the
kobit
19
pandemic
on
the
local
economy,
with
health
and
safety
of
employees
and
consumers
top
of
mind
over
the
coming
months.
We
need
to
recover
reorient
and
adapt.
F
F
F
There
are
many
questions
before
us
and
I
wanted
to
pick
out
three
this
evening
to
highlight
one
being
what
the
future
of
work
looks
like
to
accommodate
employee
health
and
safety.
Staggered
shifts
space
redesign
and
increased
remote
work
on
campus
learning.
With
the
statement
yesterday
from
queens,
we
understand
that
fall
on
campus
learning
is
still
being
discussed
as
a
major
employer
as
well
as
host
to
over
20
000
students.
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
Businesses
that
are
considered
essential
and
have
been
able
to
remain
open
are
faced
with
cautious
clients,
delayed
supply
chains
and
projects
being
put
on
hold
goods.
Retail
store
owners
are
sitting
with
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
of
spring
merchandise
in
their
store,
while
many
restaurants
have
been
able
to
generate
sales
through
delivery,
contactless,
pickup
or
pre-made
meals,
sales
come
nowhere
close
to
replacing
pre-covered
revenue.
F
F
A
200
seat,
meeting
room
or
auditorium
may
only
accommodate
40
people.
A
50-seat
restaurant,
your
hairdresser,
your
chiropractor,
it's
hard
to
fully
understand
what
this
will
look
like
at
reopening
the
pre-coveted
business
model
does
not
work
right
now.
The
answers
are
not
yet
clear
how
many
can
remain
financially
viable
and
for
how
long?
F
The
longer
businesses
are
closed.
The
shorter
the
survival
runway
becomes,
we
are
hearing
increasingly
commercial
tenants
are
requesting
exist,
are
questioning
existing
leases
and
attempting
to
negotiate
terms
or
not?
Choosing
to
renew
businesses
shuttered
for
two
months
desperately
need
guidelines
for
safe
reopening.
F
We
receive
calls
daily
for
guidance.
What
ppe
they
will
need.
What
should
they
be
buying
now
before
supply
chains
get
overwhelmed?
Where
do
they
buy?
What
and
from
where
the
city
has
been
working
closely
with
public
health
and
meetings
are
underway
this
week
to
address
these
questions
next
slide
there.
F
F
F
F
Next
slide
there
continuing
with
the
team
kingston
approach,
the
smith
school
of
business
at
queen's
university
has
mobilized
its
talent,
their
professors,
administrators
and
students,
and
launch
the
kingston
region.
Small
business
network,
which
includes
a
community
classroom
to
bring
access
for
local
businesses
to
experts
in
their
field
and
another
key
part
of
this
network,
is
an
applied
work.
Experience
platform
to
connect
student
response
teams
to
local
businesses
as
they
go
through
the
survival
phase.
F
F
An
important
element
of
our
direction
is
to
support
keeping
local
dollars
in
the
community
together
with
downtown
kingston
tourism,
kingston
chamber,
accommodation
partners
in
the
city.
We
are
launching
a
love
kingston
consumer
campaign.
This
week.
By
pooling
our
resources,
including
media,
buys,
we
have
created
a
campaign
to
encourage
and
assist
kingstonians
in
navigating
and
online
kingston.
F
F
F
Last
fall.
We
benefited
with
funding
to
lead
a
provincial
digital
main
street
program
in
partnership
with
downtown
kingston.
By
the
end
of
march
this
year
we
were
able
to
connect
over
80
local
businesses,
with
small
grants
totaling
just
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
support
digitizing
their
business.
F
We
have
come
a
long
way
in
eight
weeks,
but
there
is
still
far
more
to
go
next
slide.
Please
an
important
element
I
wanted
to
flag
in
our
direction
is
manufacturing
in
kingston.
It's
a
small,
steady
and
rebounding
sector
of
our
economy,
with
the
national
need
for
ppe
production,
communicating
opportunities
to
our
local
manufacturers
and
connecting
them
to
government
decision
makers
has
been
an
important
aspect
of
our
work
since
late
march.
F
Local
manufacturers
have
also
consistently
risen
to
the
local
ask
for
sharing
of
ppe
supplies
for
frontline
workers,
as
we
begin
to
look
at
reopening
of
different
sectors
of
the
economy.
Making
connections
with
suppliers
for
local
needs
is
all
the
more
important
an
industrial
shop,
local
initiative.
F
Work
is
just
beginning
to
unfold,
as
we
look
at
a
reopening
stage
and
with
employment,
ontario
and
the
city
to
address
displacement
of
workers
in
the
short
term,
retraining
and
helping
people
get
back
to
work
revisiting.
The
conference
board
of
canada
report
I
referenced
at
the
beginning.
Kingston
is
one
of
canada's
top
five
cities
with
the
workforce,
most
impacted
by
covet
19.
F
F
E
I
can
you
can
hear
me
now,
okay,
so
it's
a
really
good
report.
I
think
it's
clear
and
relatively
comprehensive
as
best
as
could
be
done
and
touches
a
lot
of
bases.
So
I'm
satisfied
to
see
that
ketco
is
using
its
re,
its
reserves,
because,
if
they're
not
going
to
use
them
now,
I
don't
know
when
they
would
so
that's
good
to
see.
I'm
just
wondering
as
a
matter
of
due
diligence
are
the
corporate
wind-up
costs
still
covered,
because
that
was
always
an
issue.
E
E
D
Hello.
Thank
you
a
couple
of
things.
I
noticed
you
talking
about
an
on
campus,
I
queen's
startup
in
the
fall.
I
that
may
be
somewhat
optimistic.
I've
had
interesting
conversation
with
with
queens
on
that
subject.
I
think
there's
a
number
of
universities
that
are
looking
to
do
more
digital
learning,
online
learning
and
so
I'll
just
say
that
up
front
and
hopefully
I'll
leave
it
up
to
kfl
a
public
health
and
to
to
make
that
determination
in
conjunction
with
queens.
F
If
I
could
address
the
first
comment
by
counselor
neil,
I
apologize
for
any
miscommunication
queens
yesterday
did
make
a
statement
saying
that
they
were
still
considering
all
options,
so
I
did
not
mean
to
indicate
that
a
decision
in
any
way
had
been
made.
I
believe,
they're
working
closely
with
dr
walker
and
kflna
public
health
unit
to
assess
the
situation.
I
appreciate
that
with
regards
to
outreach
to
organizations
and
the
community
team
kingston
approach,
we
have
been
part
of
twice
weekly
check-in-
calls
that
the
mayor
has
coordinated.
F
F
I'm
part
of
a
not-for-profit
group
led
by
community
foundation
and
again
being
around
the
the
social
service
providers
and
understanding
the
challenges
they
are
facing.
A
big
concern
is
a
lot
of
our
business.
Clients
may
become
some
of
their
clients
down
the
road.
As
we
see
the
vulnerable
population
of
the
community
shift.
D
D
G
G
So
I'm
not
a
business
person,
and
I
guess
I'm
asking
what
advice
would
so
you've
got
someone
who's
operating
a
small
business
that
has
been
closed
up
to
now,
they're,
given
the
opportunity
to
open
up
and
they're
they're
calling
to
look,
I
guess
for
assistance.
How
would
you
put
the
expertise
of
team
kingston?
I
guess
to
use
for
them
just
as
a
practical
example.
F
F
G
G
F
We
need
to
shop
local,
our
consumer
dollars
matter
so
much
and
to
challenge
ourselves
to
see
how
we
can
keep
money
in
the
community
for
small
independence,
our
or
our
local
employers,
beyond
keeping
money
in
the
community
and
spending
money
in
the
community.
Certainly,
if
somebody
wanted
to
reach
out
to
provide
support
and
they
have
an
area
of
expertise
or
they
wanted
to
connect
to
a
local
organic
group
such
as
ygg
cares.
H
Thank
you,
your
worship
and
through
you,
two
questions
to
miss
gillespie,
I'm
in
the
report.
I'm
you
just
mentioned
that
200
phone
calls
have
been
made
as
part
of
the
the
outreach
that's
been
done
to
businesses.
Where,
like
what
directory
do
we
use
to
make
those
phone
calls?
Are
we
certain
that
that
is
the
right
outreach
or
are
there?
I
just
don't
want
any
companies
to
be
missed.
So
are
we
confident
that
those
200
phone
calls
you
know
is
a
good
representation
of
all
the
businesses?
F
That's
an
excellent
question,
and
certainly
we
all
have
our
our
call
trees
that
we
have
been
given
and
assigned
mapped
out
by
different
sectors.
Ian's
been
tremendous
at
going
through
force
as
well,
which
is
our
our
crm
management
platform,
as
well
as
looking
at
the
community
and
assigning
the
team
with
call
targets
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we're
reaching
out
and
that's
something
that
we
believe
is
very
important
to
continue
to
do
is
the
direct
outreach
to
businesses
above
and
beyond.
H
F
We're
just
excellent
question:
we're
just
a
few
days
away
from
having
love
that
would
the
online
platform
we
had
hoped
to
be
able
to
to
launch
it
before
this
evening's
meeting.
But
sometimes
every
check
mark
doesn't
happen
in
covid
days.
We're
working
towards
that
with
a
great
team
from
the
city,
tourism
and
dk,
so
print
ads
have
been
filed,
and
I
would
see
that
the
website
will
be
live
and
social
media
marketing
will
begin,
hopefully,
thursday
or
friday.
I
Thank
your
worship
thanks
very
much
for
the
presentation
and
for
all
the
work
so
far
the
I
guess.
The
first
comment
I
have
is
just
that.
You
know:
we've
all
we've
all
seen
that
in
the
past
number
of
weeks
that
the
that
there's
a
real
gendered
component
to
what's
been
happening
in
the
economy
and
we're
hopeful
that
we'll
see
a
move
towards
daycares
and
summer
camps
and
things
in
the
coming
months.
I
But
is
there
a
plan?
Will
there
be
some
sort
of
local
solution
available
to
help
out
with
the
needs
of
people
who
are
currently
on
the
front
lines?
First
of
all,
who
maybe
don't
or
haven't
fit
into
the
category
set
out
by
the
province
and
therefore
haven't
been
able
to
access
that
free,
essential
child
care
service
and
secondly,
for
the
next
phase
of
opening,
so
that
our
workers
can
can
go
back
to
work
and
be
sure
that
their
families
are
cared
for.
F
F
J
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
patterson,
and
I
do
want
to
thank
donna
for
the
report
and
having
sitting
on
the
economic
development.
I
know
that
even
producing
this
report
must
must
have
felt
a
little
bit
anxious
because
it
probably
is
a
little
bit
early,
but
maybe
maybe
the
report's
right
on
time,
too
donna
and
because
we
are
entering
the
first
phase
of
of
restarting
our
economic
engine
and
you
know
being
a
local
businessman
and
connected
with
the
community
in
in
that
way,
pretty
deeply.
J
I
think
it
speaks
our
language
and
that
it
gives
us
some
hope
as
a
business
community,
and
we
feel
like
we're
not
alone,
and
so
that's
a
great
thing,
and
I
thank
you
for
that,
and
I
I
guess
the
one.
I
have
a
lot
of
comments
to
make,
but
I
wanted
to
the
question:
was
you
mentioned
the
very,
very
end
sort
of
like
a
cu
in
september
thing?
J
F
For
you
most
certainly,
I
didn't
mean
to
indicate
that
it
would
be
radio
silence
until
september.
We
do
have
a
standing
check-in
report
that
we
indicated
that
we
would
bring
back
in
september.
So
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
had
a
standing
report
back
timeline,
but
increased
communication
with
council
and
the
community
is
very
important.
J
Yeah,
well,
I
might,
I
might
even
say
I
I
think
we
need
to
have
some
kind
of
economic
report.
Monthly
for
from
economic
development
is
my
suggestion.
I
haven't
even
just
think
about
it
now,
because
it's
like
you
said
this
is
a
live
document
and
the
document,
but
also
you
know,
we've
never
done
this
before
right
and
I
I
am
excited
in
a
sense
of
a
business,
I'm
waiting
for
phase
two,
but
not
just
for
myself,
I
think
of
all
the
everyone.
J
You
know
that
many
many
have
come
to
me
where,
where
does
my
business?
You
know
fit
in
that
in
the
in
the
three
phases
where,
where
do
I
fit
and
and
and
so
everyone
is-
is
eager-
it's
like
holding
our
breath.
For
you
know
six
weeks
or
whatever
it's
been
right
now,
almost
eight
weeks,
but
so
that's.
I
think
we
recognize
that
and
I
think
that
we
have
great
resources
through
the
the
university
and
the
college,
but
also
we
can
never
underplay
our
own
associations.
A
J
Well
that
part
of
the
education
I
just
want
to
encourage
economic
development
is
that
people
are
coming
to
me
and
and
asking
what
do
we
got
to
do
and
I'm
really
hoping
that
the
economic
development
can
be
that
constant
voice
of
educating
and
informing
the
business
community?
That's
really
what
we're
we're
needing
and
what
are
the
resources
and
that
kind
of
assistance.
So
it's
all
about
communicating,
really
well
and
regularly
and
be
a
source
for
solutions.
Thank
you.
K
It
strikes
me
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
work
to
put
into
this
this
package
here
and
kedco
has
some
very
talented
staff,
we're
able
to
action
items
rapidly
to
support
local
businesses.
I'm
very
pleased
that
over
200
outreach
events
have
taken
place
and
that's
certainly
a
great
start,
but
one
of
my
questions
is
based
on
the
graphs
are
provided
and
it's
I
think,
it's
evident
to
everyone.
K
The
highest
risk
sectors
in
kingston
appear
to
be
downtown
the
small
businesses
in
the
tourism-related
industry,
both
of
which
have
business
representation
of
their
own
tourism,
kingston
with
miss
megan,
knott
and,
of
course,
doug
ritchie
with
the
bia
and
given
that
their
teams
have
laid
off
people
recently.
How
has
the
economic
development
team
that
we
have
adjusted
the
workload
to
support
the
highest
risk
sectors
of
the
kingston
through
the
teen
kingston
approach,
highlighted
in
the
recovery
plan.
F
Thank
you.
So
certainly
we
do
work
very
closely
with
the
dbia
and
tourism
kingston
and
they're
very
strong
entities,
so
we're
we're
blessed
as
a
community
to
have
those
groups
with
regards
to
how
are
we
focusing
our
energies
again?
There
has
been
the
outreach.
It
is
important
to
support
the
tourism
sector
as
well
as
small
businesses
in
food
accommodation
and
retail
across
the
city,
who
might
not
necessarily
have
direct
bia
or
be
part
of
the
tourism
community,
but
still
are
highly
impacted
in
the
east
and
west
end.
K
The
second
question
is
in
reading
the
report,
much
of
the
very
impactful
programs
and
supports
discussed
in
rollout
of
phase
two
in
regards
to
surveys,
business
retention,
surveys,
etc,
manufacturing
supply
chain,
looking
at
training
and
business
connections.
It
looks
like
a
lot
of
very,
very
important
and
meaningful
work
to
me.
So
how
has
the
economic
development
team
positions
themselves
to
be
impactful
within
the
sex
sector
and
successful
with
these
initiatives?.
F
There
still
are
in
the
very
early
stages,
and
we
recognize
that
we're
going
to
need
more
resources
and
more
assistance,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
doing
that
in
a
strategic
way.
So,
right
now,
ian
is
leading
the
charge
and
doing
a
brilliant
job,
an
admirable
job,
and
I
do
look
to
him
and
the
rest
of
the
team
for
insights
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
we
are
resourcing
and
bringing
in
community
partners
as
appropriate.
K
F
Thank
you
within
the
report
and
I
apologize
if
my
pages
are
slightly
different
than
your
whole
council
package,
but
of
exhibit
a
bottom
right
hand
corner.
It
would
be
the
table
figure
3,
starting
on
page
19,
which
identifies
anticipated
outcomes
so
we're
still
working
on
during
this
period.
What
key
performance
indicators
would
look
like?
We
have
internal
targets
for
reaching
out
for
outreach,
calls.
F
K
L
M
Thank
you,
and
through
you,
donna
thanks
for
your
report.
That
was
very,
very
well
done
and
the
presentation
my
question
is
around
the
500
000
reserve
and
wondering
what
kind
of
long-term
flexibility
you
have
built
into
your
budgeting
because
of
course
one
of
the
first
of
all.
We
are
all
concerned
about
our
our
businesses
and
employers
and
and
staff,
but
we
also
know
that
this
is
a
long
term,
maybe
long
term,
and
we
may
there
may
be
a
second
wave.
M
F
Thank
you
certainly
that's
a
very
serious
question
that
the
finance
committee
at
the
economic
development
office,
as
well
as
the
board,
will
be
looking
at.
We
completely
respect
the
financial
pressures
the
municipality
is
facing,
I
believe,
still
a
lot
of
unknowns
in
terms
of
what
other
levels
of
government
support
may
come
down
to
support
economic
development
recovery
issues.
F
A
portion
of
our
budget
is
linked
right
now
to
provincial
contracts,
which
are
in
place
through
2022
our
federal
contributions.
We
do
have
some
specific,
fed,
deb
programs
that
have
your
contracts,
though
some
of
our
our
program,
funding
through
the
feds,
is
on
an
annual
basis,
so
we'll
need
to
really
reassess
as
we
move
through,
to
to
see
what
our
budget
constraints
are
and
what
that
looks
like
going
forward
thanks.
N
One
thing
the
report
contemplated,
but
I
didn't
think
fully
addressed,
so
maybe
you
can
play
it
out
here,
for
us,
donna
is
if
a
second
wave
or
a
third
wave
is
to
come
because
the
graphs
we
saw
and
the
language
of
the
report
is
quite
linear.
So
if
another
wave
or
heaven
forbid
to
come,
would
we
revert
back
to
the
first
phases
or
how
does
that
work
as
the
situation
unfolds.
F
N
N
I
know
that
there's
mention
about
a
regional
business
support
network
or
a
response
team
of
students.
So
a
few
different
things
were
mentioned,
but
will
you
be
coming
back
to
council
with
certain
requests
from
businesses?
I
guess
I'm
building
off
counselor
ustraw,
if
you're,
for
example,
lowering
property
tax
or
waiving
fees
that
the
city
charges
will
there
be
direct
things
that
we
hear
through
you
from
the
business
community.
F
That's
another
good
question,
so
I
work
very
closely
with
craig
desjardins
out
of
the
cio's
office
and
have
close
communication
with
the
cao,
as
well
as
the
mayor
who
sits
on
our
board.
Really.
That
has
been
our
conduit
to
bring
issues
forward
with
the
mayor's
economic
recovery
team.
That
may
be
another
conduit
to
be
able
to
share
what
we're
hearing
and
requests
from
businesses.
A
Okay,
thank
you,
I'm
not
seeing
any
other
hands.
So,
let's,
let's
be
thank
you
for
for
that,
and
we
will
find
in
our
agendas.
We
have
no
other
information
reports.
We
have
no
information
reports
from
members
of
council
miscellaneous
business.
We
do
have
a
couple
of
motions
first,
that
the
resignation
of
sarah
sang
from
the
arts
advisory
committee-
oh
I'm
sorry,
counselor,
hutchinson,.
E
A
So
yeah,
so
so
that
we
had
a
briefing
and
then
we
had
the
report
and
then
we
had
questions
for
for
the
report.
I
think,
as
was
implied
by
the
last
question
from
counselor
kylie,
there
will
be
lots
of
other
opportunities
when
there
are
actual
recommendations
that
are
coming
forward
to
council
to
have
further
debate
and
discussion.
But
at
this
point
it's
just
just
question
and
answer
so
so
so
with
that.
Thank
you.
So
we
will
again
just
looking
at
miscellaneous
business.
A
A
Next
number,
two
that,
as
requested
by
tina
bailey
community
foundation
for
kingston
area
council
proclaimed
june
1st
2020
as
community
foundation
for
kingston
and
area
day
in
kingston,
moved
by
councillor
doherty
seconded
by
councillor
kylie,
all
those
in
favor
opposed
and
that's
carried
okay
on
to
new
motions.
We
do
have
one
new
motion
on
the
addeds,
I'm
going
to
turn
the
chair
over
to
deputy
mayor
neil.
If
he's
able
to
to
read
the
motion.
D
A
N
Do
you
move
by
mayor
patterson,
second,
by
deputy
mayor
neal,
that
section
4.30
of
the
council,
procedural
bylaw,
be
waived
in
order
to
allow
on
a
go
forward
basis,
a
maximum
of
three
delegations
that
pre-register
with
the
city
clerk's
department
before
the
meeting,
an
opportunity
to
delegate
before
counseling
committee?
And
this
requires
a
two-third
vote.
A
A
So,
given
that
you
know,
we've
been
through
a
crisis
phase
the
last
number
of
weeks,
I
think
we've
had
some
time
now
to
to
adjust
to
this
setting
and
we've
got
a
great
staff
team
at
the
clerk's
office
and
our
own
it
staff
that
are
here
to
support.
So
I
think
that
we're
ready
to
take
that
step
and
to
be
able
to
to
invite
public
input
as
required.
Obviously,
as
you
can
see,
the
the
suggestion
here
is
that
you
would
still
need
to
pre-register
with
the
city
clerk's
office.
A
D
Otherwise
what
will
happen
is
what
happened
in
sometimes
in
the
past,
where
three
people
on
one
side
of
a
of
an
issue
will
get
on
the
agenda
and
basically
block
the
ability
of
others
to
bring
forward
their
ideas.
So
I
would
definitely
appreciate
if,
if
we
could
find
a
way
to
consider
doing
something
that
would
allow
us
to
go
beyond
three.
If,
if
we.
C
A
D
B
D
B
J
A
Okay,
so
so
just
to
to
to
respond
to
that,
so
the
way
that
it's
written
it
says
from
on
a
go
forward
basis.
So
it
also
passes
this
motion
tonight
and
that
would
then
put
the
in
place
the
opportunity
to
pre-register
with
the
city
clerk's
office.
If
those
three
spots
are
filled,
then
there's
an
opportunity
for
council
to
then
move
a
motion
to
waive
the
procedural
bylaw
to
add
for
say
a
fourth
or
fifth
delegation.
The
only
thing
that
is
different.
L
L
O
O
Deputy
mayor,
the
the
reality
with
this
is,
we
need
to
get
the
addendum
out
and
we
need
to
put
some
training
with
some
of
our
members
of
the
community
that
do
want
to
register
and
participate
in
the
meeting.
So
we
arbitrarily
picked
12
o'clock
as
time
that
would
allow
staff
to
do
what
they
need
to
do.
At
the
same
time,
put
the
wheels
in
motion
to
allow
the
members
of
the
community
to
participate
in
the
meetings.
L
O
D
I
I
think
there's
technical
reasons
why
we
need
to
get
it
on
the
attics
and
that
improves
what
the
original
motion
said,
but
not
everybody
is
zoom,
ready
and,
and
therefore
allowing
more
than
three,
I
think
is,
is
a
really
good
idea,
but
remember
that
our
staff,
our
clerks,
have
to
be
able
to
get
the
invitation,
the
appropriate
invitation
to
the
people
at
the
appropriate
time.
All
of
that
information,
technical
information
has
to
come
before
the
meeting.
So
I
think
this
is
the
best
we
can
do
in
a
difficult
situation.
P
Thank
you,
jordan.
Okay,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes?
Yes,
thank
you
deputy
mayor
and
thank
you
mayor
patterson
for
the
motion.
I,
like
council,
mccarran
a
little
puzzled
about
the
need
for
the
motion.
We
all
understand
we're
doing
virtual
meetings,
but
I
don't
remember
us
passing
any
bylaws
stating
different
rules
for
virtual
meetings.
P
O
So
up
until
now,
we
were
not
allowing
delegations
to
appear
before
council.
With
this
motion,
we
will
allow
delegations
to
appear
before
council
during
the
virtual
meeting
phase.
So
this
is
just
another
way
of
enhancing
the
public
participation
and
the
citizen
engagement,
wherein
the
public
has
the
opportunity
to
participate.
P
L
P
A
non-council
member
of
the
public
and
I
wanted
to
engage
council
and
I've
been
I've
watched
council
before,
and
I
and
I
know
that,
there's
delegations
and
I
I
may
know
that
you
need
to
apply
at
the
clerk's
office
and
I've
got
that
much
knowledge
already.
What
what
more
so.
So,
how
would
I
know
about
the
new
rules?
First
of
all,
the
rules
that
were
passed
at
the
at
the
outset
of
the
emergency,
with
the
different
rules
of
order.
How.
P
O
P
So
you
could
just
you
could
before
you
could
come
to
the
council
chambers,
even
if
you
didn't
know
anything
about
about
it,
because
you've
never
been
before
someone
in
the
gallery
would
quickly
fill
you
in
about
how
you
how
you
got
your
name
on
the
list
to
be
a
delegation.
If
that's
now
that
everybody's
watching
from
home,
how
do
we
maximize
accessibility?
P
This
motion
doesn't
speak
to
that
and
it
speaks
to
a
limit
of
three
and
it
speaks
to
a
way
to
reopening
it
to
delegations.
That's
something
that
most
members
of
the
public
won't
know
was
was
closed.
Just
the
same
as
most
members
of
the
public.
Don't
know
that
we've
given
emergency
powers
to
the
cio,
for
example,
no,
but
nobody
seems
to
know
them
so
how
you
said
we
would
communicate.
P
J
O
Dear
deputy
mayor,
there
are
a
number
of
options
available
to
the
community
to
participate
at
the
council
meetings,
whether
it
be
through
telephone,
whether
it
be
through
submission
of
a
video
or
whether
it
be
through
a
submission
of
some
written
material.
That
then,
is
distributed
to
members
of
council.
So
there
are
a
number
of
accessible
options
that
are
available
to
be
able
to
have
the
public
participation
at
stake
cultivates.
Yes,.
P
P
For
example,
for
the
first
virtual
meeting
that
I
attended,
he
was
seemingly
in
city
hall.
I
think
maybe
in
the
counselors
lounge
for
that
meeting.
Is
that
kind
of
thing
going
to
be
accessible
to
a
member
of
the
public
they
may
want
to
come
in
and
with
some
I.t
help,
and
so
obviously
physical
distancing
rules
in
place.
O
We'll
be
reviewing
all
options
once
the
pandemic
is
removed
first
day,
but
yes,
if
city
hall
is
open,
then
members
of
the
public
will
be
able
to
end
city
hall
right
now.
City
hall
is
closed.
So
there
aren't
that
opportunities
for
members
of
public
to
participate,
but
on
a
go
forward
basis.
I
don't
see
what
we
will
not
be
able
to
make
some
type
of
decision
with
respect
to
having
people
come
here
at
city
hall.
P
Okay,
so
so
it's
up
to
the
chair
to
enforce,
like
I,
I
chair
a
couple
committees
once
those
are
up
and
running
again,
I
would
follow
the
same
rules
as
before.
Would
I
would
I
also
need
to
be
in
proximity
to
the
clerk
or
would
would
it
be
all
virtual
where
the
clerk
would
be
in
a
different
location
than
me
for
the
for
the
committee.
O
P
K
Before
neil,
I
am,
I
recognize
you.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
this.
I
have
a
couple
concerns
and
I
may
be
just
asking
for
clarification
and
that
simply
is
there's
a
number
of
very
interesting
issues
coming
forward
to
counsel
in
the
next
number
of
weeks
and
months,
we
have
the
issue
of
fluoridation.
We
have
the
issue
of
impinging
on
cataractly
cemetery,
a
national
historic
site
with
monster
towers.
K
We
have
all
kinds
of
interesting
issues
coming
forward
to
council
and
I
want
to
make
sure
the
constituents
are
concerned
with
those
issues
have
an
opportunity
to
speak.
So
if
passing,
this
motion
allows
that,
then
I'd
like
to
know
that,
but
if
I'm,
if
not
passing,
this
potion
restricts
them
from
having
access.
I
just
took
a
clarity
on.
O
So
the
reality
is
as
of
now
there
are
no
delegations
permitted
at
council
meetings.
This
motion
will
provide
that
opportunity
to
pretty
much
get
back
to
business
as
usual,
with
respect
to
the
three
delegations
being
able
to
speak
to
items
on
the
agenda
and
as
we've
said
there
always
is
the
opportunity
for
members
of
council
to
waive
the
procedure
to
allow
additional
delegations
to
speak
to
items
on
the
internet
that
hasn't
changed.
D
Q
A
Thank
you.
I
I'm
just
happy
to
respond
to
questions,
and
I
I
I
think
I'll
just
provide
context
to
the
earlier
concern
of
counselor
stroud
answering
the
questions
to
the
motion
not
trying
to
speak
several
times
but
but
counselor
bulm.
So
our
regular
procedural
bylaw
under
normal
circumstances,
allows
for
a
maximum
of
three
delegations
and
then
counselors
can
pass
motions
to
waive
the
procedural
bylaw
to
allow
for
additional.
Q
Q
Q
Q
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
cancer
bones,
so
the
way
we
would
manage
that
is
that
we
would
set
a
deadline
that
day,
so
we
will
allow
for
additional
delegations
beyond
the
three,
but
that
would
require
council
motions
duly
moved
and
seconded,
but
then
by
having
a
deadline
of
noon,
the
idea
is
to
provide
additional
time
then
to
work
at
the
technical
details.
The
clerk's
office
can
reach
out
to
the
person
make
sure
that
they
are
able
to
participate,
that
they
know
all
those
details.
How
how
that
works.
Q
Okay,
I
understand
that
I
guess
I
was
thinking
if
the
dead,
so
the
deadline
is
truly
deadline.
It's
not
a
recommended
deadline
and
then
somebody
can
come
in
and
say
well,
this
person
didn't
know,
and
so
can
we
wave
the
bylaw
to
still
let
them
in
so
it's
I
think
the
deadline
is
actually
the
deadline
which
once
you're
past
that
point
there's
nobody
that
can
come
during
a
council
meeting
and
say:
hey,
I
missed
it.
I
I
missed
it.
Can
you
add
me,
please,
can
we
wave
the
bylaw.
L
A
A
We
are
moving
in
steps
so
initially
when
we
moved
to
electronic
format
without
any
delegations
at
all,
and-
and
I
was
supportive
of
that
only
because
there
was
so
much
technical
detail
that
we
had
to
manage
just
to
make
sure
that
all
of
us
could
speak
to
each
other
and
the
the
public
could
listen
in
and
that
staff
could
engage.
Now
that
we've
had
several
council
meetings.
I
think
now
we're
to
the
point
where
we
can
start
to
to
to
open
that
up
to
delegations
from
the
public
as
well.
D
D
I
A
L
Okay,
so
this
is
partly
in
response
to
that
motion.
So
on
a
higher
level,
I
don't
think
we
should
be
using
technology
to
actually
limit
producing
technology
as
an
excuse
to
limit
people's
access
to
us
to
these
meetings.
Technology
is
supposed
to
actually
make
things
easier
and
better,
and
although
we
may
have
a
learning
curve.
