How
could
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
say,
go
Ani
Buju
watch
a
quake
way
as
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
kingston.
I
offer
these
words
in
the
spirit
of
this
gathering.
Let
us
bring
our
good
minds
and
hearts
together
as
one
to
honor
and
celebrate
these
traditional
lands
as
a
gathering
place
of
the
original
peoples
and
their
ancestors
who
were
entrusted
to
care
from
other
earth
since
time
immemorial.
A
It
is
with
deep
humility
that
we
acknowledge
and
offer
our
gratitude
for
their
contributions
to
this
community
having
respect
for
all
as
we
share
this
space
now
and
walk
side-by-side
into
the
future.
Just
before
we
begin
I'll
just
again
highlight
that
this
is
national
indigenous
peoples
month
in
the
City
of
Kingston,
and
so
by
tradition.
At
our
council
meetings
in
June,
we
do
display
the
talking
stick
that
normally
resides
in
my
office.
This
was
a
gift
from
our
local
indigenous
community
and
symbolizes
the
relationship
that
we
continue
to
build
as
we
move
forward
in
reconciliation.
A
Also,
we
just
highlight
that
June
21st,
of
course,
are
the
national
celebrations
around
indigenous
peoples
day
and
that
will
be
taking
place
just
out
in
Confederation.
Park
and
certainly
hope
that,
as
many
of
you
can
join
me
as
possible
for
that
so
with
that
we
will
continue
on.
We
were
meeting
in
committee
the
whole
closed
meeting.
We
discussed
one
item
with
respect
to
acquisition
or
disposition
of
land
with
respect
to
the
third
crossing.
So
I
will
ask
for
a
motion
to
rise
without
reporting.
Please
move.
A
A
Want
to
take
a
moment,
because
the
new
motion
is
from
myself
and
of
course
we
do
not
normally
have
new
motions
on
the
edits.
The
reason
why
this
is
here
is
because
there
is
a
time
sensitive
nature,
because
it
respects
a
potential
change
to
policy
over
the
summer
months.
So
that
is
why
I'm
asking
council
to
consider
this
motion
tonight,
but
obviously
I'll
reserve
my
comments.
Until
till
we
get
to
the
motion
section
in
the
agenda
and
return
the
chair
great.
Thank
you
very
much
with
that
I'll
ask
the
motion
to
approve
the
adits.
E
A
F
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
mr.
mayor
members
of
council,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
address
you
this
evening.
Regarding
the
city
of
kingston
heritage
fund.
My
name
is
Ann
Blake
and
I'm.
The
president
of
beyond
classrooms,
Kingston
I'm
also
intimately
familiar
with
the
city's
Heritage
Fund
as
one
of
its
early
advocates,
starting
as
a
member
of
the
focus
group
which
contributed
to
the
development
of
the
city's
culture
plan.
F
At
the
time
I
participated
formally
in
my
capacity
as
executive
director
of
the
marine
museum,
bringing
prior
knowledge
based
on
my
previous
experiences
with
cultural
plan
development
in
Ottawa
Carleton
and
in
London
Ontario
in
2012
I
was
hired
as
managing
director
of
the
Kingston
Association
of
museums,
art
galleries
and
Historic
Site,
scam,
primarily
to
work
with
cultural
services,
staff
in
the
development
and
implementation
of
the
Heritage
Fund
component
of
the
culture
plan
currently
as
president
of
beyond
classrooms.
Kingston,
I'm
here
representing
an
organizational
recipient
of
investment
and
then
full
operating
grants
from
the
fund.
F
I
and
a
number
of
others
active
in
the
heritage
sector,
with
similar
records
of
involvement
in
the
rollout
of
the
city's
culture
plan,
have
been
concerned
by
the
slow
rate
of
growth
of
the
heritage
fund,
which
differs
sharply
from
the
level
of
funding.
We
had
been
told
to
anticipate
when
we
first
set
off
down
this
road.
At
the
time
we
were
seeking
parity
with
the
level
of
funding
the
city
provided
to
the
arts
sector.
To
that
end,
we
were
led
to
believe
that
the
heritage
fund
would
reach
a
full
operating
level
of
$500,000
by
2017.
F
The
level
of
the
arts
fund
began
with
at
its
startup
in
2007.
The
reports
before
you
this
evening
state
that
the
heritage
fund
will
actually
have
two
hundred
and
eighty
two
thousand
six
hundred
and
sixty
two
dollars
available
for
distribution
in
2019,
far
short
of
that
$500,000
threshold.
So
what's
the
problem?
Well,
we
were
promised
parity
with
the
arts
fund
almost
ten
years
ago
and
that
still
not
happened.
F
One
consequence
of
the
level
of
competition
is
that
applicant
organizations
in
receipt
of
operating
dollars
from
the
fund
cannot
anticipate
annual
revenues
from
the
fund
of
at
least
eighty
percent
of
their
previous
year's
allocation.
This
was
one
of
the
objectives
of
the
fund
in
order
to
provide
a
measure
of
stability
for
the
sector
and
to
permit
multi-year
planning.
As
an
aside,
Arts
Fund
operating
grant
recipients
receive
the
same
level
of
funding
annually
and
have
for
a
number
of
years.
F
The
Heritage
Fund
process
overall
is
fair
and
equitable.
There's
just
not
enough
money
in
the
kitty
to
go
around.
In
conclusion,
members
of
council
please
flag
the
Heritage
Fund
for
your
twenty
nine
budget
debates
and
send
a
strong
message
to
staff
that
the
fund
be
permitted
to
grow
at
a
faster
rate
than
that
anticipated
in
their
December
2017
report.
Let's
get
to
parity
with
the
Arts
Fund,
so
that
our
sector
can
continue
to
tell
Kingston's
many
stories
and
continue
to
create
a
strong
sense
of
place
for
our
residents
and
visitors.
Thank
you.
F
G
Ann
so
I'd
like
to
bring
the
points
that
Ann
made
home
by
related
to
my
own
particular
Museum,
but
what
I'm
about
to
say
applies
to
all
the
museum
in
all
they
heard
it
museums.
So,
in
the
background
to
our
museum,
our
financial
situation
is
all
the
administration
is
done
by
volunteers
and
the
grants
I
get
for
work
just
and
the
admissions
just
cover
my
staff.
So
all
the
money
from
the
Heritage
Fund
goes
directly
into
that
museum.
G
When
the
Heritage
Fund,
we
were
able
to
hire
a
short
term
curator.
She
has
cataloged
the
museum
collection
of
Kingston
artifacts,
representing
a
large
portion
of
the
city's
history,
she's
developing
an
exhibit
recognized
the
traditional
use
of
Murni
point
by
indigenous
peoples,
she's
exploring
other
grants
so
that
we
can
decrease
the
dependency
on
the
fund.
Some
of
the
other
activities
made
possible
way.
The
fund
we
hosted
the
kick
and
push
festival,
support
for
local
businesses
such
as
improbable
escapes,
local,
printing
and
consulting
firms,
a
local
firm
that
did
a
laser
print
of
the
tower.
A
G
And
to
show
trollin
so
jumping
right
to
the
end.
The
problem
is:
I
cannot
make
long-term
plans
because
the
lack
of
stable
funding
and
other
museums,
an
organization
would
like
to
do
the
same
hard
work
for
Kingston,
but
are
held
back
by
the
fire.
Mr.
mayor
and
council
I
urge
you
to
increase
the
level
heritage
funding
so
that
I
and
others
can
fulfill
the
cultural
plan
is
showcase
Kingston
to
both
Kingstonian
and
the
world.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
H
I
You,
your
worship,
Thanks,
I'm,
presentation,
I,
just
wondered
how
Kingston's
compares
to
other
cities
that
have
a
Heritage
Fund.
So
we
know
that
our
kitty
is
two
hundred
and
eighty
two
thousand
dollars
do.
We
know
how
that
compares
to
some
of
the
other
cities
that
have
a
strong
Heritage
Fund
as
well.
F
Thank
You
councillor
I,
can't
comment
on
recent
what's
happening
recently,
but
certainly
at
the
time
we
were
developing
the
fund
back
in
2012.
We
did
do
a
comparison
with
similar
municipalities
of
similar
size.
I.
Think
one
of
the
things
that
Kingston
has
that
so
few
other
municipalities
have
is
the
diversity
and
the
number
of
museums,
and
also
the
the
Heritage
Fund,
was
divided
or
not
divided.
It
was
intended
to
cover
all
aspects
of
culture,
not
just
heritage
or
history.
So
there's
really
not
a
lot
of
commonality
between
other
municipalities.
A
Okay,
seeing
no
other
questions.
Thank
you
very
much.
Okay.
Our
second
delegation
this
evening,
Megan,
not
executive,
director
of
Kingston
accommodation
partners
and
humic
NZ
vice
chair
of
tourism
Kingston
will
appear
before
council
to
speak
to
Clause
6
of
report
number
53
from
the
CEO
regarding
the
municipal
accommodation,
tax
implementation
plan.
J
J
The
elements
of
the
model
are
that
we
have
a
well-funded
destination
marketing
organization
in
tourism,
Kingston,
a
DMO
that
provides
the
essential
staff
intensive
resources
such
as
visitor
services
and
sector
market
support.
We
have
a
collaborative
and
entrepreneurial
hotel
association
in
Kingston
with
the
Kingston
accommodation
partners
providing
the
marketing
resources
for
the
destination.
J
The
city
has
been
a
great
supporter
and
has
made
many
capital
investments
such
as
the
k-rock
Centre,
the
Grand
Theatre
Market
Square.
Even
the
big
digs,
the
waterfront
master
plan
in
the
support
of
the
arts
and
culture
underpinning
the
attractiveness
of
this
historic
city
benefit
both
visitors
and
residents
alike,
and
we
have
a
downtown
business
association
committed
to
an
entertainment
and
culinary
scene
that
is
the
best
in
class
in
Canada.
J
Implementing
the
municipal
accommodation
tax
will
provide
consistent
resources
to
continue
Kingston's
award-winning
campaigns
and
help
reach
our
objective
of
being
a
top
four
destination
in
Ontario,
particularly
for
European
and
Asian
markets.
As
we
move
forward,
our
ambition
is
to
develop
into
a
year-round
destination.
K
Thank
you
and
council
and
and
mayor
Paterson.
So
in
addition
to
Hugh's
comments,
my
name
is
Megan
Knight
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
Kingston
accommodation
partners,
which
is
the
hotel
Association
and
we've
been
here
to
speak
about
the
map
before.
But
in
addition
to
Hugh's
comments,
a
few
things
that
probably
will
stay
with
you,
tourism,
as
we
know
it
in
Kingston,
is
a
huge
economic
driver.
It
allows
one
roughly
1
billion
dollars
into
our
economy
every
year
spent
in
our
community.
In
addition
to
that,
it
supports
about
7,500
jobs.
K
So
it's
an
impactful
way
to
measure
tourism.
In
addition,
14
communities,
you
should
know
by
the
end
of
2018,
we'll
have
a
matt
implemented
a
municipal
accommodation
tax
within
their
community,
and
so
we
want
to
be
an
additional
one
of
those
members
in
that
collection
I.
You
should
know
that
Kingston's
primary
targets
domestically
so
where
we
target
customers
to
from
and
travelers
to
come
and
stay
are
generally
speaking,
Montreal
Ottawa
in
Toronto-
and
these
are
the
most
expensive
markets
to
be
in
in
terms
of
marketing
dollars,
spend.
K
And
so
the
mat
will
only
help
us
enhance
the
ability
to
speak
to
those
customers
and
those
clients
and
travelers,
and
the
income
and
experience
Kingston
as
a
destination.
And
one
final
thing.
The
timing
of
the
implementation,
which
is
targeted
for
August
1st,
is
ideal
only
because,
as
we
collectively
work
on
this
one
brand,
one
voice
for
for
tourism
in
our
economy
and
the
establishment.
K
Now
of
our
strong
DMO,
led
by
Rob
Komodo
Huron
on
my
left,
the
integrated
strategy
which
we're
working
on
with
the
city
of
Kingston,
it's
sort
of
imperative
that
the
mat
will
only
enhance
the
product,
development
and
marketing
pieces
and
components
that
we're
working
on
and
so
ideally
just
end
with
a
thank
you.
You've
had
a
really
great
consensus
and
collection
of
support
that
we
felt
in
the
tourism
community
as
stakeholders
through
you,
mayor,
Paterson
and.
K
So
there's
a
lot
of
tools
that
we
collect
tourism
Kingston
on
the
economic
development
side,
collects
economic
impact
of
tourists.
Tourism
in
Kingston,
specifically
the
hotel
Association,
does
have
a
year-over-year
annual
spend
of
what's
happening
in
our
hotels
and
an
increase
year
over
year,
as
we've
seen
since
we
started
to
measure
so
we've
been
in
existence
since
2004.
So
absolutely
if
we
were
to
bring
back
a
report,
we
could
ideally
pinpoint
any
statistic:
you're
looking
for
to
complement
and
ideally
increase
the
ability
to
it
Bres
what
the
matt
has
delivered
on
that
makes
sense.
L
K
L
I
Worship
I
know
when
you
were
last
one
of
the
next
steps
was
going
to
be
consulting
with
all
the
different
hotels
and
bed-and-breakfast
across
the
city,
and
the
report
says
that
you
did
have
a
Lunch
and
Learn
and
also
one
in
one
trainee
sessions.
What
was
the
feedback?
Was
it
all
positive
or
is
there
some
apprehension
that
this
will
affect
their
business,
and
you
know
that
people
might
stay
elsewhere
and
not
actually
stay
here
in
Kingston,
I
just
wondered
what
the
feedback
was
when
you
held
those
sessions.
A
A
K
So
we
had
a
very
successful
Lunch
and
Learn,
and
we've
had
one-on-one
consultation
myself
and
my
colleague
Flamini
with
others
that
couldn't
attend
that
lunch
and
learn.
So
essentially,
what
we
did
was
just
provide
context
for
what
cap
is
so
how
to
remit
when
to
remit.
Basically
learn.
You
know
who
we
are
as
an
organization
and
sort
of
the
context
of
how
information
that
needs
to
be
digested
could
have
been.
It
was
very
positive.
K
We
had
a
lot
of
cat
board
members
and
tourism
Kingston
colleagues
in
the
room
to
answer
many
different
questions
that
there
was
probably
approximately
20
people
that
came,
which
was
very
beneficial
because
I
know
this
time
of
year.
People
are
busy
and
we've
had
no
other
feedback
from
anyone
else
that
this
will
apply
to
in
a
sense
of
calling
the
office
and
fielding
inquiries.
So
that's.
I
K
Ottawa
started
january
fern
and
they've
been
doing
very
well
with
the
rollout
Toronto
started,
April
1st
2018
Gananoque.
We
is
looking
at
starting
Brockville
as
I
know
it.
They
didn't,
have
a
well-established
emod
MP
situation
like
we
have
in
Kingston,
so
there
they're
sort
of
formulas
a
bit
different
they've
ideally
tried
to
start
with
a
small
number
of
rooms.
Mississauga
Niagara,
Falls
Belleville
are
beginning
to
start
implementing
at
some
point
in
2018,
but
probably
the
relatively
the
closest
ones
would
be
Toronto
and
Ottawa.
Thank.
H
You,
okay
cancer
cell.
Thank
you,
mayor,
Paterson.
Let's
get
from
what
you
were
saying
that
the
idea
is
that
we're
looking
at
an
integrated
program,
actually
that
the
mat
will
come
out
about
the
same
time
that
we
will
have
an
integrated
branding
result.
Is
that
sort
of
what
I'm
hearing
then
that
that
will
help?
Or
is
this
gonna,
be
a
staff
question?
Okay,
I
will
leave
it.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
A
See
you
no
other
questions?
Okay,
so
we
have
no
other
delegations
this
evening,
so
we
will
move
on.
We
have
no
briefings.
Are
there
any
petitions
to
present
seeing
none?
We
do
have
a
couple
of
motions
of
congratulations.
First,
moved
by
Mayor
Patterson
seconded
by
deputy
mayor
Holland
that
the
congratulations
of
Kingston
city
council
be
extended
to
Ian
Arthur,
the
newly
elected
MPP
for
Kingston
and
the
islands.
We
look
forward
to
working
with
you
over
the
next
four
years
for
the
betterment
of
our
community.
A
Congratulations:
Ian,

by
mayor
Paterson
seconded
by
deputy
mayor
Holland

the
congratulations
of
Kingston
city
council

LAN
Art
frond,

clinic
Lanark,
Frontenac,
Kingston,

Please.
A
And
that
carries
okay,
so
first
we
have
Clause
three
approval
of
the
administrative
plan:
City
of
Kingston
Heritage
Fund,
2018
2019
and
the
appointment
of
councillors
to
participate
in
the
City
of
Kingston
Heritage
Fund
jury
review
process
in
September
2018.
So
we
do
need
a
couple
of
counselors
to
volunteer
for
the
review
committees.
One
is
for
the
project
grants
review
and
one
is
for
the
operating
grants.
Review
have
any
volunteers,
please
counsel!

Do
you
have
a
preference
for
which
committee
do.
A
D
Your
worship,
a
question
on
exemptions
to
staff
I
believe
I
received
communication
from
a
resident
who
was
concerned
about
the
fact
that
he
travels
to
Kingston
to
visit
his
daughter,
who
is
in
a
long-term
care
facility,
and
so
in.
Looking
at
the
exemptions
there
are.
It's
noted
that
there
are
some
public
institutions
Minister
of
Health,
a
long-term
care,
but
I'm
wondering
if
such
a
thing
as
a
visit
to
a
family
member
or
an
extended
stay
due
to
illness
is
something
that
has
been
considered
as
part
of
the
discussions
on
exemptions,
commercially.
A
N
You
mayor,
so
the
the
closest
thing
to
to
this
and
and
I
appreciate
these
situations
can
be
quite
challenging.
But
if
you
look
at
the
actual
bylaw
itself
on
the
page
205
and
the
exemption
list,
so
we
do
have
exemptions
that
are
made
if
these
arrangements
are
made
through
the
hospitals
or
long-term
care
facilities
and
that
that
actually
comes
from
the
province.
This
is
not
something
that
the
city
has
decided
to
go
on
its
own
and
set
the
exemption,
so
it
all
depends
on
how
this
is
organized
and
and
who's
actually
making
the
reservation.
L
Which
of
those
watching
this
with
interest,
if
staff
could
just
elaborate
a
little
bit
about
how
the
air
B&B
sector
will
interact
with
this?
For
my
reading,
there's
like
a
two
step
process
and
the
air
B&B
is,
is
proposed
to
be
included
with,
but
not
until
rental
licensing
is
debated
and
possibly
passed.
Is
there
anything
more
to
it
that
stuff
for
context
and
staff
could
could
say
about
the
Airbnb
sector,
because
it's
obvious
that
it
will
give
them
a
competitive
advantage
versus
the
hotel
rooms
in
the
interim
commissioner.
N
N
L
N
You
for
you,
mr.
mayor,
so
yes,
a
starting
point.
It
would
make
it
a
lot
more
difficult
to
to
regulate
the
Airbnb
zhh
and
those
types
of
accommodation,
and
even
if
council
decided
not
to
implement
potentially
the
full
program,
we
might
want
to
look
at
options
that
that
could
potentially
cover
Airbnb
s
without
covering
all
other
residential.
But
that's
something
we
would
have
to
review
and
at
that
point
we
would
be
or
we
would
recommend
to
also
incorporate
the
municipal
accommodation
tax.
Thank.
L
H
Thank
you,
Mary
Patterson,
so
I'll
ask
my
question
about
the
so
the
ideas
will
introduce
the
Matt
and
probably
have
our
integrated
branding
completed.
That
would
that
the
ideas
we're
going
to
have
a
package
we're
not
only
adding
a
tax,
but
we
will
have
a
way
to
spend
it
that's
been
thoroughly
researched.
Does
that
sound
about
right,
commercial.
A
N
You
and,
and
definitely
you
do
not
want
to
speak
for
tourism,
Kingston
and
Kingston
accommodation
partners,
but
I'm
sure
they
could
find
ways
right
now
that
they
could
spend
the
marketing
dollars.
But
to
your
question
there
is
work,
that's
currently
being
completed
on
the
integrated
destination
strategy,
which
involves
the
key
stakeholders
in
the
community,
and
that
is
anticipated,
will
most
likely
be
coming
back
to
council
around
the
early
fall,
which
is
around
the
same
time
as
the
implementation
of
the
municipal
accommodation
tax.
It
will
give
some
recommendation
as
far
as
future
investment.

A
D
Both,
oh
sorry,
the
other
is
notice
of
motion.
I'm,
sorry,
okay,
yes,
new
motion,
number
one
I
take
the
chair.
Thank
you,
moved
by
Mayor
Patterson
seconded
by
Councillor
Turner,
whereas
the
City
of
Kingston
currently
has
a
park
refreshment
vehicle
policy
that
allows
motorized
and
non-motorized
vehicles
to
sell
food
and
beverages
in
a
number
of
City,
Park,
City
designated
parks,
and
whereas
recent
market
trends
have
recently
introduced
small
non
vehicles,
self-contained
food
and
beverages,
beverages,
vendor
options
and
whereas
the
Steve
Kingston
is
an
innovative
City
and
wants
to
encourage
new
market
trends.
D
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
council
direct
staff
to
implement
a
pilot
project
in
the
summer
of
2018
by
inviting
non
vehicle
self
contained
food
and
beverage
vendors
to
submit
their
applications
to
provide
a
service
and
designated
city
parks
and
that
council
direct
staff
to
review
the
success
of
the
pilot
project
and
make
appropriate
amendments
to
the
park
refreshment
vehicle
policy,
but
this
for
the
summer
2019
season,
America
Patterson.
Thank.
A
I
was
intrigued
by
the
idea,
but
when
I
saw
it
in
person,
it
was
really
quite
exciting
and
it
seemed
like
something
that
this
could
really
work.
So
everything
is
self-contained.
Essentially,
it
needs
to
be
serviced
on
a
daily
basis,
but
the
idea
that
was
presented
to
me
is
that
we
could
look
at
trying
something
like
this
in
in
a
city
park
different
spaces
around
the
city,
obviously
than
to
be
able
to
provide
that
service
convenience.
A
If
people
are
out
in
a
park
and
then
they
could
could
then
be
able
to
purchase
small
food
and
beverages,
so
I
think
it's
a
really
interesting
idea
again,
certainly
having
seen
it
in
person,
I
was
convinced.
It
looks
great
it's
attractive.
Obviously,
there's
other
details
to
be
worked
out,
but
basically
what
this
motion
would
allow
is
for
a
pilot
project
to
be
able
to
try
that
out
this
particular
summer,
and
that's
why
we
had
to
bring
it
forward
to
this
meeting
so
with
that
certainly
would
hope
for
council
support
on
this.
Thank
you.
Thank.
H
A
And
whereas
Kingston
is
a
Great
Lakes
community,
with
responsibilities
to
and
benefits
from
a
clean
lake
environment.
Whereas
the
City
of
Kingston
is
committed
to
diverting
waste
from
landfill
and
to
reducing
community
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
counseled
staff
to
provide
a
report
with
recommendations
in
2019
to
the
environment,
infrastructure
and
transportation
policies.
Committee
meeting
regarding
the
current
status
of
single-use
plastics
management
in
Kingston
and
options
for
local
action
to
reduce
litter
and
waste
created
by
the
use
and
disposal
single-use
plastics
in
Kingston,
okay.
