Next,
we
have
the
approval,
the
adits
we
do
have.
The
addition
of
a
couple
of
delegations
and
also
a
new
motion
and
a
couple
of
items
of
communication
can
I
have
a
mover
for
the
audits.
Please
it
moved
by
Councillor
rome
ii
by
deputy
mayor
neil,
all
those
in
favor
opposed
and
that's
carried
hey.
Are
there
any
disclosures
of
potential
pecuniary
interest?
A
Okay,
seeing
none?
Then
we
will.
We
will
move
to
delegations,
so
we
have
two
two
delegations
on
top
this
evening,
just
a
reminder
to
our
delegations
that
you
have
five
minutes
just
like
in
regular
council.
So
first
we
have
Mary
Farrar,
who
will
appear
before
council
to
speak
to
Clause
1
report
number
43
from
the
CIO
with
respect
to
the
19
response
update
operational
and
financial
impacts.
This
Ferrar,
you
have
the
floor.
Okay,.
C
Well,
thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
Derek
for
setting
this
up.
My
my
camera
isn't
working,
but
it's
lovely
to
be
able
to
speak
with
you.
Well
so
I
wanted
to
first
of
all,
I'll
be
really
quick
because
I
know
you're.
All
tired
you've
had
multi
million
meetings.
I
wanted
to
first
of
all,
congratulate
staff
on
that
really
wonderful,
amazing
report,
and
also
the
mayor
on
that
lovely
video
yesterday
on
Twitter
about
open
public
spaces,
fantastic,
and
thank
you
too,
for
the
bollards
to
Ian
and
Sheila.
C
It's
so
nice
to
have
the
bollards
up,
I
feel
I'm,
almost
80
and
my
sense
of
balance
isn't
quite
what
it
used
to
be
and
I
really
appreciate
being
able
to
ride
safely
around
the
downtown
and
the
bollard
certainly
encouraged
that
so
do
with
the
double
lines,
with
the
hat
when
the
bollards
are
not
there.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
a
big
show.
Thank
you
so
much
okay.
C
Now
what
was
missing
I
felt
from
the
report
and
what
the
mayor
addressed
in
part
was
with
the
open
public
spaces
thought
yesterday,
I'd
like
to
introduce
a
thought
of
cycle
priority
routes.
This
is
something
not
Roger.
Healey
and
I
have
been
working
on
for
five
years
on
and
off
sort
of
in
the
background,
and
this
is
routes
on
quieter
streets
or
possibly
major
ish
streets
where
there
is
a
reduced
speed
limit
and
where
there
is
signage,
saying
cycle
priority
routes
so
that
these
would
be
streets.
C
That
could
be
really
wonderful
for
the
eighth
to
80s,
like
the
eight-year-old,
kids
and
the
eight-year-old
people
like
me,
who
are
a
little
uncomfortable
about
writing
on
main
arterials
like
Brock
and
Johnson.
So
I
would
like
to
say
suggest
a
few
possibilities
for
this
just
to
get
around
the
downtown
in
a
safe
way
like
if
Mac
and
Earl
could
be
the
east-west
and
if
the
north-south
ones
could
be
Victoria
going
from
Union
all
the
way
up
via
MacDonell
to
the
high
school
and
also
baguette
and
Wellington,
because
they
go
right
into
the
KNP
trail.
C
Now
it
would
be
totally
wonderful,
given
this
amazing
opportunity
that
Kovan
19
is
offering
with
reduced
traffic
on
all
the
roads.
It's
such
a
great
opportunity
to
get
out
with
grandchildren
and
children
and
people
of
all
ages
on
routes
that
you
know
would
still
be
usable
by
cars,
but
they
would
be
reduced.
C
C
What
I
really
would
like
to
suggest
is
that
remembering
back
to
the
2017
Public
Engagement
framework
that
the
city
supported
that
goes
from
very
top
down
to
very
bottom
up
with
sort
of
five
different
methods
of
getting
along
with
various
aspects
of
society,
so
it
starts
with
inform
as
being
the
most
top
down
and
then
consult
and
then
involve
and
then
collaborate
and
then
empower
and
as
I
see
it.
City,
staff
and
council
collaborate
beautifully
with
the
downtown
BIA.
C
As
was
obvious
in
the
mayor's
tweet
yesterday
and
I
would
love
to
see
if
the
same
sort
of
collaboration
could
happen
with
k-kat,
because
k-kat
could
do
all
the
legwork
and
then
just
bring
it
all
back
to
Council,
because
although
Sheila
and
Ian
are
completely
wonderful
in
their
jobs,
it's
a
huge
amount
of
work
and
they
have
other
priorities
that
they
have
to
deal
with,
and
it
would
be
just
a
great
help
to
have
other
experts.
You
know,
do
that
legwork
and
then
come
back
and
discuss
it.
C
C
A
A
D
D
My
name
is
Jeanette
Liu
I
hold
a
PhD
in
social
epidemiology
and
health
promotion
and
I'm,
currently
a
postdoctoral
research,
fellow
at
Queens
and
I'm,
a
resident
at
Sydenham
ward,
where
I
live
with
my
husband
and
baby
boy
and
I'm
here,
presenting
on
behalf
of
a
newly
formed
group,
Kingston
Bianco
vyd,
a
response
and
recovery
network
for
a
justice,
sustainable
future
and
I
want
to
add
to
the
conversation
on
a
reimagining
outdoor
space
as
a
resiliency
strategy
for
a
city,
drink
Ovid.
So
next
slide,
so
I
don't
have
to
go
into
it
too
much.
D
But
as
a
health
researcher,
I
need
to
say
that
getting
outside
is
extremely
important
for
health.
There's,
expensive
literature,
suggesting
benefits
on
individual
interpersonal
community
levels
and
as
well
or
just
the
ocular
public
health
officials
from
across
Canada,
suggesting
that
there
are
particular
benefits
to
exercise
and
sunshine
during
a
pandemic
with
added
immunological
benefits.
D
But
there
exist
major
issues
of
equity.
So
not
everyone
has
access
to
private
outdoor
space,
nor
access
to
amenities
that
were
recently
opened
by
the
province.
So
the
other
major
point
here
is
that
there's
been
widespread
and
enormous
changes
to
the
ways
that
people
are
living
their
lives.
This
is
an
extensive
local
existence
and
they're
working
in
transportation
patterns
have
changed.
There's
a
keen
appetite
for
getting
outside,
there's
increased
leisure,
walking,
having
use
of
conservation
areas
and
trails
and
more
people
are
exploring
Kingston
on
foot
and
people
haven't
want
to
continue
following
distance.
D
Distancing
current
predictive
models
suggest
that
we'll
have
to
live
with
this
virus
for
longer
term,
so
we
really
have
to
adapt.
So
next
slide
the
question
being.
How
do
we
create
safe
public
spaces
for
people
to
get
outside
safe,
meaning
safety
from
the
virus,
so
their
ability
to
distance
and
save
some
cars?
The
other
question
being
is
under
municipal
jurisdiction.
What
can
be
done
and
you
made
it
turn
immediate
turn.
So,
quick,
the
implementation?
What's
practical?
D
D
There's
many
examples
to
be
drawn
from
other
Canadians
cities
as
well
as
around
the
world,
but
the
idea
is
simple:
we
repurpose
streets
to
open
up
more
space
for
people
to
get
outside
while
maintaining
physical
distance.
There
are
many
community
groups,
Mary
Farrar
mentioned
k-kat
already,
but
some
many
groups
of
being
contributing
to
the
development
to
the
active
transportation
master
plan.
We
know
our
city.
D
These
people
have
been
reimagining
space
in
our
city
for
years,
so
we
can
make
use
of
that
wisdom,
specific
decision-making,
a
very
cost-effective
ways,
building
off
previous
research
and
consultation
and
contribute
to
transit
needs
and
capacity
contributing
to
economic
recovery
as
well,
as
importantly,
aligning
with
public
health,
advisories
and
disease
management.
So
I
want
to
say
here
that
tum,
echoing
Mary
you're
thrilled
sphere
video
yesterday
Mary
Patterson,
so
next
slide.
D
So
specific
suggestions
for
Kingston
and
the
immediate
term,
and
what
I'm
here
to
talk
about
today,
is
implementation
of
the
series
of
quiet
or
slow
streets
in
each
of
Kingston's
areas
or
neighborhoods,
so
the
quiet,
Street
initiative
and
Kingston
could
fit
with
longer-term
visions
and
conversations
about
major
road
closures.
Cycling,
network
expansion
and
converting
grid
spaces
for
public
use
and
I
would
love
to
contribute
to
longer-term
conversations
in
those
capacities
next
slide,
but
for
today
focusing
on
quiet
streets
and
the
potential
in
Kingston
for
quiet
streets
as
described
by
the
City
of
Toronto.
D
These
are
shared
spaces
to
allow
local
residents
to
maintain
physical
distancing
within
their
communities
through
the
installation
of
signage,
temporary
barricades
to
encourage
slow
local
traffic
access,
and
so
emphasis
on
really
opening
up
space
for
people
to
walk,
run,
use
wheelchairs
and
bikes
and
just
allowing
local
car
traffic.
And
so
what
this
looks
like
just
briefly
and
others
can
in
cities
what's
happening.
Pictured
here
is
Winnipeg
where
specific
streets
have
been
deemed
to
active
transportation
routes
during
designated
hours
in
Calgary,
the
city's
testing
partial
road
closures.
D
Toronto
is
rolling
out
to
begin
50
kilometers
of
quiet
streets,
Vancouver
50
kilometers
is
what
they
call
slow,
Street
just
a
similar
thing,
I
rolled
it
over
the
next
two
months.
Montreal
also
has
a
very
robust
pandemic
plan,
which
includes
888
kilometers
of
streets
that
are
being
redesigned
for
pedestrians
and
cyclists.
The
pedestrianisation
is.
D
Thanks,
thank
you
so
internationally.
There
are
lots
of
examples
as
well
happy
to
go
into
those
so
boiling
it
down.
Next
slide
to
our
local
context.
The
idea
is
to
go
for
closed
streets,
quiet
streets,
pedestrian,
penomet,
promenade,
whatever
the
version
in
each
ward
approaches
neighborhood
to
neighborhood,
there's
several
prioritization
schemes
to
draw
from
and
use
our
existing
plans
to
inform
the
most
impactful
installations
to
keep
costs
down,
keep
it
simple
work
with
existing
resources,
etc.
D
A
E
Hello.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation.
Are
you
familiar
and
I
brought
this
up
in
the
past?
Are
you
familiar
with
the
concept
of
bike
boulevards
I,
know,
former
mayor
of
Madison
Wisconsin,
some
eight
or
nine
years
ago,
came
to
Kingston
and
talked
about
the
success
of
bike
boulevards
in
Madison,
and
a
lot
of
particularly
university
cities
in
the
states
have
adopted
the
concept.
E
F
Mayor
Paterson,
through
you
thanks
Jeanette
for
your
presentation.
You
showed
a
few
examples
are
mentioned.
A
few
examples.
I
should
say
of
Canadian
cities
who
are
doing
this
in
response
to
kovat.
You
know
if
there's
any
indication
whether
or
not
those
projects
will
stay
on
permanently,
or
at
least
fullcycle,
maybe
every
season
or
something
is
it
just
during
kovat
times
or
other
Canadian
cities.
Considering
this
as
a
more
permanent
change
in
how
roads
are
used.
D
The
answer
is,
yes,
I
know
so
I've
heard,
for
example,
some
places
are
basically
approaching.
It
says,
like
a
rapid
implementation,
have
already
tested
already
thought
through
things,
so
it's
just
not
as
fancy
and
certainly
I'm
sure
other
places
it's
sort
of
introduced
as
temporary
measures.
So
I
guess
it's
an
it
just
depends
on
the
city,
but
I
I
think
I
think
that
people
that
are
in
this
area
are
sort
of
responding.
D
This
is
a
fantastic
question
and
something
that
you
know
we
can
model
after
other
municipalities.
The
beauty
of
this
situation
that
we're
all
in
together
is
we.
We
don't
have
to
invent
reinvent
the
wheel,
so
to
speak,
so
there's
approach.
There
are
different
approaches
that
have
been
published
online,
which
is,
is
pretty
remarkable
for
how
these
prioritization
and
skiing's
are
being
done
in
other
places,
so
how
candidate
locations
are
being
selected
and
and
what
the
sort
of
process
is
for
deciding
what
what
roads
are
most
impactful
like
what?
D
Sorry,
just
to
add
to
that
one
one
idea
is
to
look
at
like
drawing
on
the
a
TMP
and
the
specific
areas
like
the
the
work
is
being
done
like
the
research
has
been
put
in.
The
consultation
has
been
put
in
and
obviously
the
conditions
have
changed,
behaviour
has
changed,
transportation
patterns
have
changed,
but
overall
we
can
build
on
the
research
that
is
has
been
done
for
those
specifically
designated
13
areas.
G
Thanks
your
worship,
hi
Jeanette,
thank
you
for
the
presentation,
mote.
So
most
of
what
I
was
curious
about
has
been
discussed
already,
so
just
a
really
quick
question
or
a
bit
of
clarification
so
for
the
quiet,
Street
model,
because
we've
seen
different
ideas
similar
to
yesterday
also,
we've
had
a
few
projects
that
plate
streets
happened
a
couple
years
back
and
those
were
very
successful
as
well.
They
were
more
a
complete
Street
shut
down
this.
G
This
idea
is
I'm,
just
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
it's
it's
like
it's
enjoying
this
shared
space
for
recreational
purposes,
but
with
some
commuting
opportunities
as
well,
not
like
a
semi
closed
street,
but
definitely
like
routing
traffic
routing,
most
commuter
traffic
that
is
not
Austrian
or
recycling
away
from
that
area.
Just
how
that
would
like
just
general
thoughts
on
how
that
it's
been
with,
like
overall
kind
of
planning
on
how
people
get
around.
D
Yeah
I
think
that's
an
important
point,
so
the
ways
that
other
cities
specifically
I'm
thinking
about
Toronto
I,
set
it
up
so
they've,
looked
at
major
road
closures
or
the
kind
of
mental
health
benefits.
I
guess
to
get
people
out,
so
they
can
do
long
distances.
There's
a
cycle
network
expansion.
So
you
know
so
many
people
are
gonna
be
cycling,
so
we
need
to
expand
that
network
and
and
then
there's
also
the
conversion
of
green
spaces.
So
it's
kind
of
thinking
about
sort
of
separate,
separate
pieces,
but
how
they
fit
together.
D
So
my
point
today
is
just
picking
a
low-lying
fruit,
which
is
the
quiet
streets
in
the
neighborhood,
so
the
point
being
that
we
emergency
vehicles
still
have
access,
doesn't
necessarily
doesn't
have
to
impact
transit
routes
and
it
just
basically
restricts
the
areas
to
to
local
traffic
only
and
it
just
really
makes
motorists
slow
down
on
the
streets
so
that
people
can
spread
out
and
enjoy
the
space
on
the
streets
instead
of
having
that
sort
of
zooming
traffic
go
through.
You
know
the
fewer
cars
on
the
roads
like
more
accidents,
etc.
So
it's
that's
really.
A
H
H
D
Absolutely
I'm
a
proud
local
girl,
I
grew
up
in
Harrow
Smith,
so
I
always
think
about
the
commuting,
experience
and
and
the
people
that
really
associate
with
Kingston
and
and
see
themselves
as
Kingstonian,
even
as
they
live
on
the
outskirts,
and
so
yes,
I
have
and
I
think.
There
are
several
examples
that
can
be
drawn
from
from
other
municipalities
that
resemble
the
sort
of
geography
and
and
etc
of
Kingston.
D
One
resource
that
I
was
actually
looking
at
this
morning
is
from
better
blocks
and
they
have
some
some
nice
ideas
for
adopting
this
concept
for
rural
areas,
but
certainly
in
terms
of
thinking
about
this
specific
concept,
the
quiet
streets,
I
think
I
think
that's
really
important
to
look
at
traffic
calming
etc
in
in
the
areas
where
speeds
might
increase
etcetera.
So
really
taking
that
rural
lens
looking
at
again
still
neighborhood
by
neighborhood
and
the
specific
risks
to
safety
for
people
that
live
out
there.
It's
a
misnomer
to
think
that
everyone
has
lots
of
space.
D
There's
lots
of
kind
of
suburban
areas
like
clusters
in
the
country.
So,
like
absolutely
thinking
about
that
and
the
there
are
several
groups
I'm
most
familiar
with
cake
Hut,
but
they've
really
put
a
lot
of
thought
into
making
sure
that
the
outskirts
are
I
included
in
the
thinking
of
transportation
and
and
and
being
outside.
So
thank
you
for
that
comment.
Thank.
I
J
Thanks
for
your
presentation,
Jeannette
I
just
wondered
for
the
city
side
you
mentioned
and
that
you
mentioned
Winnipeg
you
mentioned
Toronto
and
for
the
other
cities
you
know,
did
the
ideas
for
quiet
streets
and
their
ideas?
Did
it
come
from
councillors
like
that,
got
it
from
like
from
residents
or
did
it
come
from
city
from
their
city
staff,
bringing
it
forward
to
council?
Do
you
know
that
I.
D
Guess
I
can't
comment
on
that,
specifically
in
my
slide,
deck
I
have
two
live
data
sets
that
I
include
one
is
from
a
Canadian
examples
and
the
other
are
international
examples,
and
so
I,
there's
sort
of
represented
here,
350
examples
of
different
measures,
so
just
kind
of
sitting
in
on
some
webinars,
etc.
Panels
about
this
issue
I
think
it's
sometimes
it's
difficult
to
differentiate.
How
these
things
of
all
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
informality
between
like
it's,
it's
they're,
not
necessarily
distinct
entities.
D
So
sometimes
what
might
look
like
it's
originating
like
from
the
top?
It's
like
a
really
dynamic
relationship
like
integrated
through
the
city,
like
the
engagement
over
the
years,
really
serves
to
benefit
these
municipalities,
so
it's
difficult
as
an
outsider
to
to
really
be
able
to
distinguish
where
the
ideas
originate
and
how
they
evolve
and
where
they
buy
our
fruit.
But
I
guess
the
point
being
you
know,
there's
lots
of
examples
to
draw
from,
and
I'm
people
are
so
forthcoming.
D
These
different
municipalities
are
so
forthcoming,
generous
with
their
time
and
this
busy
crazy
time
to
share
and
sit
on
panels.
So
I
I
think
there's
a
real
goodwill
of
exchange,
that's
possible
if
we
want
to
learn
from
other
places
and
kind
of
dig
deep
and
in
terms
of
figuring
out
like
how
these
things
have
come
about.
D
I'm
sure
there
will
be
many
studies
sort
of
retro
retrospectively
that
don't
necessarily
benefit
us
like
in
the
moment
or
me
answering
this
question,
but
yeah
I
think
that
I
think
the
examples
from
other
cities
is
absolutely
opportune
and
exciting.
We
can
add
ourselves
to
that
list
of
Canadian
examples
as
per
the
YouTube
yesterday.
D
J
K
Thank
you,
and
through
you
very
interesting
and
timely,
with
the
previous
presentation
as
well
with
Mary's
and
the
examples.
The
many
examples
that
we
have
around
the
world
when
they
introduce
these
kind
of
measures,
I'm
sure
there
were
some
lessons
learned
I
wonder
if
you
could
share
what
what
might
have
been
learned
in
different
areas,
what
works
and
what
might
not
have
worked.
D
Do
you
mean
like
in
terms
of
quiet
streets,
yeah,
specifically,
okay,
lessons
learned,
I,
think
well,
I.
Wouldn't
it's
it's
on
the
spot
to
distill
it
down
to
the
most
lessons
learned,
I,
guess
my
impression
would
be
the
immediate
responsiveness
to
people's
needs
I'm
like
a
little
bit
of
a
junky
medical
historian,
so
thinking
back
or
looking
back
on
certain
history
of
pandemics,
etc.
D
The
societies
that
I've
been
able
to
most
leather
pandemics
so
that
the
populations
are
the
ones
that
have
been
able
to
harness
their
resources
as
quickly
and
effectively
as
possible
and
to
implement,
like
fast
countermeasures,
to
bring
everyone
bring
everyone
together.
So
so
look
for
that
community
cohesion.
D
So
that's
sort
of
the
spirit
in
which
I
research
and
the
spirit
in
which
I've
sort
of
launched
this
network
and
and
thought
of
these
examples
like
the
low
line
fruit
being
a
quick
countermeasure,
so
I
guess
the
expediency,
the
urgency,
the
resourcefulness
so
figuring
out
what
we
have,
which
we
know
how
to
do
traffic.
We
know
how
to
do
construction
so
so
doing
those
things
right
away.
The
other
thing
that
I
would
would
comment
just
sort
of
keeping
up
with
this.
D
This
media
in
no
sort
of
systematic
way,
but
keeping
up
to
it
on
on
a
daily
basis,
is
the
inspiration
that
people
draw
from
it.
The
hope
that
it
presents
to
see
visual
representations
of
adaptation
and
resilience
on
a
city
level
on
a
local
level,
I
think
it
brings
people
together
and
and
the
the
excitement
that
has
been
drummed
up
in
the
media
is
is.
D
K
L
Thank
you,
your
worship
and
Thank
You
Jeanette
for
coming
to
speak
to
us.
It's
wondering
if
you
saw
something
that
I
saw
yesterday
coming
out
of
Toronto
the
footage
of
the
lecture
Boulevard,
which
is
six
landings,
normally
three
lanes
of
traffic
in
each
direction.
They
put
a
dividing
barrier
down
the
middle
and
half
of
it
was
active
transportation.
L
Half
of
it
was
hers
and
there
was
a
guy
that
did
a
count
of
how
many
in
each
of
the
two
sides
and
in
the
minute
that
he
counted
it
with
some
300
people
on
the
active
side
and
the
cars
just
turning
to
people
going
by
by
one.
If
you
saw
that
or
from
my
description,
any
thoughts
of
why
it
is
written
Toronto
would
be
so
startling.
A
L
A
You
I
see
no
other
questions.
Thank
you
very
much,
miss
Laroo
and
with
that
we
will
move
on.
So
we
have
no
other
delegations
this
evening.
We
do
have
one
briefing
Lanny,
hurtle
chief
administrative
officer.
Will
brief
counsel
with
respect
to
Clause
1
report
number
43
from
the
CIO
again
with
respect
to
Koba
19
response
update
operational
and
financial
impacts
stay
over.
M
N
You
and
through
you,
mr.
mayor,
so
I,
do
have
a
presentation.
Thank
you,
I'm,
not
sure.
That's
that's
huge
in
it,
but
thank
you
for
pulling
up
the
presentation.
I
do
have
a
presentation
for
council
tonight.
The
report
that
you
received
obviously
has
a
lot
of
information.
Our
intent
was
to
bring
you
a
second
update
report
to
Cove
in
19.
You
will
recall
that
we
brought
one
earlier
in
April.
This
one
is
a
lot
more
comprehensive
in
terms
of
the
financial
review.
N
The
previous
one
was
a
much
shorter
timeframe
in
terms
of
overview
of
the
financial
impact,
so
we
thought
that
it
was
important
to
bring
you
this
information
tonight
as
far
as
the
operational
and
financial
implications
that
koban
19
has
had
on
the
city
itself.
So
if
you
could
move
to
the
next
slide,
I
would
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
So
this
gives
you
a
little
bit
of
an
overview
in
terms
of
when
the
state
of
emergency
was
declared
in
the
province
and
also
in
the
city.
N
I
do
want
to
maybe
make
a
few
comments
for
Council
we
from
a
city
perspective.
We
not
only
have
a
responsibility
to
our
corporation,
so,
like
many
other
organizations,
we
have
our
own
corporations
operations
that
we
needed
to
to
quickly
move
to
closures,
but
we
also
have
a
huge
responsibility
to
the
community.
So
there
are
many
aspects
of
the
work
that
we
do.
That
is
not
necessarily
embedded
in
our
day-to-day
operations
like
working
with
public
health,
for
example,
to
set
up
an
assessment
center.
N
All
of
those
things
took
place
during
the
first
month,
so
first
month
was
very
much
focused
on
how
do
we
shut
down?
How
do
we
close
certain
services?
How
do
we
implement
measures
to
make
sure
people
are
safe?
How
do
we
support
public
health?
How
do
we
support
homelessness
and
we
support
community
programs
for
food?
N
So
there
are
a
number
of
things
that
that
we
did
in
the
first
month
and
trying
to
to
implement
all
of
those
things
that
are
well
above
and
beyond
a
number
of
the
day-to-day
services
that
we
had
to
continue
to
provide
like
our
planning
heritage,
that
continued,
essentially
with
with
very
little
impact,
except
for
our
public
meetings
that
are
now
taking
place
through
zoom.
So
a
lot
of
that
work
was
done.
N
Our
second
month,
obviously
was
was
spent
more
in
trying
to
stabilize
some
of
our
operations
and
looking
ahead
and
trying
to
plan
ahead
for
our
own
operations
and
the
implication
financial
implications,
as
well
as
supporting
the
community.
So
what
a
lot
of
our
focus
is
on
right
now
is:
how
do
we
now
reopen
the
community
in
a
safe
way?
N
Not
only
our
own
operations
in
terms
of
services
we
provide
and
deliver,
because
when
we
return
those
services
online,
we
have
to
make
sure
all
the
appropriate
measures
are
in
place,
but
also
supporting
the
community
in
terms
of
economic
recovery
and
a
number
of
other
initiatives.
Social
recovery
as
well.
So
the
report-
that's
in
front
of
you
tonight-
speaks
to
the
assessment
that
we've
done
in
terms
of
the
looking
at
our
financial
impact
from
essentially
March
until
the
end
of
August
is
estimated
to
be
about
a
four
million
dollar
deficit.
N
We
are
also
bringing
to
you
options
on
how
to
address
this
tonight.
So,
yes,
you
will
have
difficult
decisions
to
make
I
understand
that,
unfortunately,
I
wish
I
could
tell
you
it's
the
last
report
with
difficult
decision.
But
my
guess
is
it's
probably
not
going
to
be,
because
even
if
we
start
to
reopen
it
will
not
be
business
as
usual
for
quite
some
time.
Could
you
go
to
the
next
slide?
Please.
So
this
gives
you
an
overview
of
the
projected
revenue
loss.
So
you
understand
where
these
numbers
are
coming
from.
N
Obviously
you
will
note
the
ones
where
we'd
have
significant
impacts,
no
surprises
to
transit.
As
you're
aware,
we've
had
to
have
people
be
able
to
board
buses
through
the
the
back
doors
of
the
the
buses.
So
we're
not
collecting
fares
parking
revenues
with
very
limited
use
of
our
downtown
parking
it.
It
didn't
quite
make
sense
at
a
certain
time
to
enforce.
We
are
currently
looking
at.
N
N
In
terms
of
expenditures,
what
we
wanted
to
provide
you
is
an
overview
of
where
we're
also
seeing
some
savings,
so
obviously,
with
less
operations,
we're
seeing
some
savings
in
terms
of
our
fuel,
we're
seeing
savings
in
terms
of
utilities
and
and
also
we've
deferred
hirings
of
any
positions
that
were
vacant.
We
have
also
put
a
hole
or
freeze
on
our
student
hiring,
so
there
are
a
number
of
things
difficult
decisions
we've
had
to
make,
because
we
do
need
to
continue
to
provide
service.
N
So
it's
not
that
we're
not
providing
any
services,
but
we
recognize
that
we
had
to
make
those
decisions.
You
will
know,
too,
that
homelessness
and
childcare
both
have
actually
expenditures
attached
to
them
and
that's
because
of
the
increased
level
of
service
that
we've
had
to
provide
during
coab
in
nineteen,
to
respond
to
some
pressures
in
the
community.
But
we
do
have
provincial
funding.
That's
coming
in
to
actually
cover
those
additional
costs.
N
N
Now
I
do
want
to
obviously
our
based
on
assumptions
that
we've
had
to
make.
So,
for
example,
we
have
made
the
assumption
that
we
would
not
be
able
to
open
up
our
sports
fields
for
Team
usage
and
team
bookings
this
summer,
so
those
are
calculated
and
accounted
for
in
in
those
assumptions
now
if
there
were
changes,
so
the
first
thing
is:
we
have
made
some
decisions
at
the
administrative
level,
those
are
related
to
staffing
and
salaries,
so
we
have
made
the
decision
to
freeze
all
non-union
salaries
for
2020.
N
So
there
is
no
performance
pace
increases,
that's
approximately
650,000
and
we
have
also
recently
issue
notification
of
temporary
shortage
of
work
to
union
and
non-union
full-time
staff.
That's
equivalent
to
about
$800,000
and
that's
assuming
until
the
end
of
August.
I
can
assure
you
that
we
worked
very
very
closely
with
our
rqp
representative
through
this
process,
and
we
have
done
a
significant
number
of
redeployment,
early
assignment
for
staff
before
we
had
to
move
to
this
temporary
shortage
of
work.
N
Unfortunately,
we're
not
the
only
municipality
in
Ontario,
that's
having
to
make
such
decisions,
so
the
what's
in
front
of
Council
for
councils
consideration
tonight
our
recommendations
to
help
bridge
the
remainder
of
this
financial
gap.
So
we
we
have
been
working
to
to
build
some
capacity
with
the
education
tax
room
last
year
and
this
year.
So
we
do
have
some
flexibility
there.
In
terms
of
our
funding.
Those
two
combined
are
about
850
thousand
dollars.
N
We
are
also
proposing
a
2020
budget
transfer
to
to
working
fund
reserve
that
we
could
use
to
to
help
support
the
operations
of
$400,000,
and
we
are
also
proposing
a
number
of
capital
project,
deferrals
and
cancellation,
to
essentially
be
able
to
leverage
the
remaining
1.5
million
dollars
so
that
we
can
ensure
that
we
can
cover
this
four
hundred
thousand
deficit
until
the
end
of
2000
till
the
end
of
August.
2020
did.
N
Slide
so
in
terms
of
capital
projects,
deferral
cancellation,
that's
not
the
entire
list.
The
report,
of
course,
has
an
exhibit
attached
that
provides
for
the
entire
list,
but
I
want
to
give
Council
some
some
of
the
an
idea
of
some
of
the
projects
that
are
included
in
there
that
are
probably
more
more
public
in
in
nature
in
the
sense
of
public
use.
N
N
N
The
reasons
why
we're
looking
at
deferral
for
council
priorities,
so
there
are
a
number
of
them.
First
of
all,
we
like
I,
indicated
we
have
an
organization
that
we're
operating
above
and
beyond
all
the
support
that
we're
providing
in
the
community
to
various
initiatives.
So
we
have
a
number
of
staff
that
have
been
reassigned
from
these
council
priorities
to
respond
to
other
COBIT
situation
or
challenges
that
we've
had
or
opportunities
in
some
cases,
and
we
had
to
pull
those
staff
capacity
away
from
those
council
priorities.
N
We
also
have
our
financial
capacity,
which
I've
you
know
went
over
earlier.
That's
a
pretty
significant
one.
In
some
cases
we
also
have
some
workplace
requirements.
So
when
we're
looking
at
some
of
the
work
that
Public
Works
typically
does
we
have
to
find
ways
that
we
can
properly
ensure
social
distancing
so
that
some
of
this
work
can
be
completed.
We
don't
have
everything
in
place
yet,
and
this
is
why
we're
proposing
some
deferrals.
N
Cobin
19
will
continue
to
have
impact
in
terms
of
our
revenues
into
2021.
We
anticipate
that
our
growth
assessment
for
tax
revenues
is
not
going
to
be
as
much
as
we
had.
We
had
projected
for
2021.
We
are
actually
starting
to
see
a
bit
of
a
slowdown
right
now
in
terms
of
our
planning
applications
which,
as
you
know,
translate
it
into
the
construction
and
then
our
tax
assessment
growth.
So
we
do
anticipate
that
that
will
actually
be
lower
than
what
we
had
in
the
budget.
N
We
will
need
to
also
think
about
some
of
the
businesses
that
may
not
be
operating
or
properties
where
property
owners
may
not
be
able
to
pay
for
for
taxes
in
future
years.
So
we
need
to
keep
that
in
mind
as
well.
We
will
continue
to
explore
opportunities
for
with
upper
levels
of
government,
but
so
far
conversations
are
not
indicating
that
there
will
necessarily
be
funding
for
municipalities.
N
I,
know
the
comments
or
the
feedback
we're
getting
is
that
this
is
being
looked
into,
but
as
far
as
I
know,
there
has
not
been
anything
formally
identified
specifically
to
support
municipalities,
so
I
I
wanted
to
to
flag
all
of
those
for
Council.
Also,
the
fact
that,
even
in
2020,
if
we're
able
to
reopen
some
services,
I
think
we
need
to
expect
that
our
revenues
are
still
going
to
be
lower
than
projected.
N
So
this
is
just
to
provide
a
summary.
Like
I
said,
this
is
until
the
end
of
August.
We
do
have
some
administrative
solutions
that
we
have
implemented,
but
that
doesn't
get
us
4
million
that
we
need
in
terms
of
the
financial
gap.
What
is
being
proposed
or
recommended
to
council
is
the
use
of
some
reserve
funds.
The
education
tax
room,
as
well
as
the
pearl
of
capital
projects
and
some
council
priorities
and
I-
think
I'll
move
to
the
next
slide,
but
I
believe
that's
yeah.
A
L
L
But
it's
my
understanding
that
the
parking
enforcement
sort
of
immunity
or
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
has.
It,
is
municipal
control.
So,
and
we
said
we
saw
from
your
slide
how
much
money
that
is
so
I
guess
I'm
wondering
is
where
our
where's,
your
thinking
about
when
we
might
revert
back
to
connecting
parking
revenue,
because
it's
clear
to
me
just
from
I'm
sure
to
all
my
colleagues
that
traffic
is
returning
to
normal.
M
N
You
and
Remus
mayor,
so
I'll
get
started
and
Commissioner
Kidd
may
want
to
also
jump
in
so
a
couple
of
things.
One
is
I'd
like
to
to
maybe
clarify
for
for
council
that
our
parking,
the
loss
of
revenue
in
parking
we
were
actually
pulling
from
the
parking
reserved
fund.
So
that's
part
of
the
policy
that's
in
place
when
we
have
profits
at
the
end
of
the
year
from
parking,
we
usually
put
it
in
this
reserved
fun
and
when
we
have
deficit,
of
course,
we're
able
to
pull
from
this
reserve
fund.
O
Thank
you
and
through
you,
your
worship,
we
are.
We
are
starting
to
think
about
reinstituting
parking
regulations,
not
necessarily
across
the
board,
but
certainly
in
the
areas
that
are
challenging.
I
know
what
may
come
as
a
surprise
to
some
motorists,
but
our
primary
motivator
for
having
parking
regulations
is
not
to
generate
revenue,
it's
actually
to
control
the
parking
supply
and
dedicate
it
to
those
who
need
it,
and
that's
why
we
have
such
a
variation
of
short
term
and
permits
and
things
like
that.
What
we?
O
What
we
know
is
that
yes,
there's
certainly
in
the
institutional
area
which
includes
the
hospital
and
the
university,
but
primarily
around
the
hospital.
The
lack
of
regulations
and
enforcement
in
that
area
has
created
a
bit
of
havoc,
and
people
are
parking
for
long
periods
of
time
in
the
spots
closest
which
are
which
are
by
design
for
motorists
who
are,
who
are
gonna,
have
turnover
and
and
usually
shorter
stays.
O
So
we
need
to
consider
that
we
also
know
that,
with
the
elective
surgeries
opening
up
that's
going
to
create
an
even
greater
demand
in
the
in
a
primary
and
in
sort
of
the
downtown
core
we
get.
We
get
problems
with
downtown
residents
who
park
in
short
term
spaces
and
that
will
become
a
problem,
as
the
businesses
begin
to
open
up
and,
and
we
have
long
term
vehicles
and
perhaps
even
employee
vehicles
in
part
in
spaces
that
are
designed
for
motorists
who
are
coming
to
do
a
pickup
or
or
do
a
short
trip.
O
The
hesitation
that
we
have
is
related
to
our
ability
to
manage
and
and
provide
the
level
of
the
transit
service
that
we'd
have
always
been
able
to
provide
for
the
last
decade,
and
so,
as
we
start
to
charge
for
parking
again,
we
have
to
be
careful
because
people
who
are
permit
holders
the
usage
of
transit
has
gone
down
significantly,
but
with
the
restrictions
that
we
currently
have
for
distancing.
We
are
carrying
lower
capacities
and
our
service
levels
are
lower.
So
those
are
the
things
we're
thinking
about.
L
L
P
Looking
at
mr.
Burton
I'm
speaking
for
federal
and
perhaps
provincial
support,
is
there
any
further
information
as
in
regards
to
that
or
our
talks
beginning
around
what
that
level
of
support
could
look
like,
or
is
this
just
something
where
we're
casting
and
that
as
wide
as
possible,
and
just
hoping
these
three
assists
is
better
in
the
background
that
this
may
actually
I
mean
the
province.
P
A
So
counselor
Boehm,
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that
the
mayors
of
the
larger
cities
in
Ontario
have
been
meeting
fairly
regularly
over
the
last
few
weeks
to
offer
it
exactly
that
and
if
I
can
just
frame
this
for
you,
we
are
facing
some
major
financial
challenges.
He's
in
Ontario
are
facing
even
larger
challenges.
A
I
think
Toronto
has
already
lost
550
million
dollars,
I
think
from
TTC
revenues,
I
mean
so
so.
There's
scale
effects
there
and
I
can
tell
you
that
all
all
of
us
are
unified
in
our
call
to
both
the
provincial
and
federal
governments
for
some
some
level
of
emergency
assistance.
So
we
are
having
those
conversations.
We
know
that
the
province
and
the
federal
government
are
talking
about
it,
but
as
CEO
a
CEO
hurdle
has
mentioned,
there's
been
no
commitment.
There's
been
no
detail.
A
We
really
don't
know
what
to
expect
the
other
piece
that
I
will
say,
which
has
been
very
clear
in
our
discussions
amongst
the
mayor's.
Is
that
whatever
level
of
emergency
funding
that
maybe
it's
we're
almost
sure
it's
not
going
to
be
hundred
percent?
So
so
we
know
that
you
know.
Cities
are
going
to
have
to
make
some
tough
decisions
and,
quite
frankly,
demonstrate
to
the
problems
in
the
federal
government
that
look.
We
are
doing
everything
we
can
to
find
efficiencies
to
find
ways
to
reduce
costs.
N
It's
human
and
through
you,
mr.
mayor,
so
the
the
only
thing
that
I
would
add
is
that
we
have
of
course
received
either
received
or
received
commitment
of
additional
funding
in
some
areas.
Obviously
anything
that's
related
the
childcare
emergency
services,
it's
covered
by
the
province
homelessness,
we've
received
1.4
million
dollars
to
help
cover
some
additional
cost
and
long
term
care.
We,
we
have
now
received
more
details
in
terms
of
the
additional
funding
that
they're
providing
for
long-term
care
to
help
better
support
all
of
the
service
providers.
N
P
A
Is
now
you'll
see
that
you'll
see
that
I
have
brought
forward
an
additional
motion
on
the
added
and
to
be
clear,
this
is
basically
a
motion
to
endorse
that
the
position
of
the
Federation
of
Canadian,
Municipalities
and
lemco,
which
together,
are
basically
having
that
that
call
out.
But
again
we
haven't
heard
we
haven't
heard
anything
back.
Okay,.
K
To
beat
the
deficit,
but
this
is
all
about
only
till
all
this
so
I
have
a
bit
concerned
about
the
longer
term
as
well,
and
you
didn't
mention
that
planning
applications
you're
already
seeing
a
reduction
in
man
and
I.
Wonder
if
you
could
speak
to
that
and
what
kind
of
projection
you
in
would
you
you
may
be
hearing
and
seeing
in
planning
applications.
N
Thank
you
for
you,
I
I'm,
a
start
and
and
I
think
that
Commissioner
Agnew
made
more
details
around
the
plantation,
but
there
has
been
a
decrease
in
terms
of
the
number
of
applications.
Auntie
were
seeing
come
through
in
terms
of
the
building
permits.
We
did
see
a
bit
of
a
spike
when
the
the
province,
if
you
recall
the
province,
announced
it
back
in
I,
think
it
was
late,
March
or
early
April
that
any
development
that
did
not
have
a
building
permit
by
April
4th
was
to
be
essentially
put
on
hold.
N
Q
Thank
you,
your
worship.
Yes,
certainly
in
the
last
couple
of
months,
we
have
seen
a
reduction
in
planning
applications
from
what
we
were
projecting
for
2020,
probably
we're
about
50
percent
of
what
we
had
projected
and
we
are
seeing
you
know,
based
on
what
we
have
coming
in
in
terms
of
potential
new
applications
and
communications
with
applicants
about
future
works.
They're
considering
we
are
starting
to
see
things
pick
up
a
little
bit.
The
last
week
has
has
shown
some
optimism
of
some
new
people
coming
to
coming
forward.
O
Through
you,
your
worship
have
been
hovering
around
10%
at
best,
and
we've
started
to
see
an
increase
over
the
last
period.
But
one
of
the
major
issues
is
that
we
are
still
working
with
the
physical
distancing
requirements,
which
means
that
sort
of
every
other
seat
is
taped
off.
So
even
if
we
have
people
we're
still
at
less
than
half
the
capacity
of
what
we
would
normally
carry
or
be
able
to
carry
on
any
particular
office
at
any
particular
time,.
K
R
S
Thank
you
through
you,
mr.
mayor,
so
that
is
Education
room.
So
council
will
recall
when
we
presented
the
tax
rates
for
2019.
The
final
tax
rates,
the
education
rates
came
in
actually
at
about
zero
percent
increase,
and
the
province
was
was
doing
that
in
part
to
provide
some
room
to
the
municipalities
that
they
could
use
in
terms
of
covering
other
costs
and
in
the
past
we
hadn't
done
that
to
any
great
extent,
but
in
2019
recognizing
at
that
point.
S
Staying
within
that
council
direct
to
target
and
and
still
had
enough
room
that
actually,
the
residential
was
closer
to
about
just
over
two
percent
in
2019,
because
that
that
room
was
created
in
2019
that
changes
your
tax
base
so
coming
into
2020.
We
already
have
that
as
a
new
base,
and
so
with
some
of
the
assessment
changes
we
still
had
about
an
extra
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
that
base
in
2020,
which
again
we
put
in
the
2020
budget
as
a
transfer
to
the
working
fund.
R
Yeah,
thank
you
and
I
appreciate
that
the
you
seen
sort
of
the
burgeoning
I
guess
tent
city-
that's
a
kind
of
taking
shape
by
Bell
Park,
and
my
understanding
was
that
we
planned
for
I
saw
some
of
the
evidence
of
that
in
in
the
presentation
that
see
a
hurdle
gave
us
that
we
had
allocated
sufficient
funding
to
sort
of
look
after
all
of
our
homeless
folks
and
provide
accommodation
for
the
fact
I
think
we
significantly
expanded
our
accommodation
for
is
that.
Is
that
not
accurate?
M
N
You
Man
three
mr.
mayor's
Council
will
recall
that
quite
quickly
after
kovin,
we
we
moved
to
to
implement
new
location
for
shelters
that
could
provide
individual
rooms,
so
we
relocated
the
new
shelter
to
113,
lower
Union,
which
was
owned
by
addictions.
Mental
health
services
provide
for
single
individual
rooms
and
then
we
relocated
in
from
the
cold
to
McLean
Court
in
the
East
End,
which
also
has
individual
rooms
and
has
more
capacity
than
the
previous
shelter.
I
can
tell
you
that
I
received
some
information
today.
N
That
indicates
that
we're
not
even
at
80%
capacity
and
those
to
shelter
location.
So
there
is
still
room.
We
also
opened
a
what
we
called
a
a
center
Hugh
wish
for
people
that
might
be
impacted
by
Cova
door
needed
to
self
isolate
in
the
West
End.
We
had
805
Ridley
Street,
we
did
make
use
of
it,
but
it
was
highly
underutilized.
We
are
with
the
situation
at
Bell
Park.
Those
individuals
have
approach
by
street
outreach.
We
work
closely
with
our
partners
and
offered
different
options,
including
shelter,
but
also
other
accommodations.
N
We
have
a
number
of
individuals
at
this
point
that
are
not
interested
in
relocating
or
going
to
any
of
those
accommodations.
I
can
assure
you
that
we
are
working
on
a
plan
with
our
partners,
I'm,
anticipating
that
we
will
have
a
plan
by
the
end
of
the
week.
That
will
provide
another
alternative.
We
understand
that
that
is
not
as
structured,
so
we
will
provide
an
alternative,
and
then
we
will
make
sure
that
there's
a
period
of
time
to
transition
individuals
to
this
new
service.
R
Then
one
other
I
did
get
a
call
and
I
guess
this
goes
back
to
councillor
spouts
question
around
the
patient,
because
obviously
there
are
also
essential
workers
up
to
now
that
had
struggled
to
get
transportation
in
at
the
time
they
would
begin
work
and,
of
course,
we're
seeing
people
returning
to
work
at
the
Downtown.
So
is
there
a
plan
to
at
least
have
the
busses
running
at
a
little
bit
of
an
earlier
time
than
they
currently
are.
O
That's
for
you
Patterson.
Yes,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
we
should
have
press
release
today
and
effective
Monday
of
next
week.
We
will
be
increasing
the
service
hours
for
transit
earlier
than
8:00
in
the
morning
on
the
express
routes
where
there
the
demand
exists,
so
it'll
start
at
6
o'clock
and
we'll
have
extended
hours
to
the
evening
as
well.
We're
still,
we
still
wouldn't
say
it's
at
the
sunday
level
of
service,
but
it's
a
modified
level
of
service,
but
it
is
definitely
an
enhancement.
O
H
Yeah,
thank
you.
Mary
Patterson
and
I
do
just
want
to
say
how
impressed
I
am
with
everyone's
work,
beginning
with
our
CEO
and
Lenny
hurdle,
you're
doing
a
fantastic
job.
In
my
opinion,
as
I
see,
I
really
like
how
you
know,
you've,
you've
sort
of
shown
the
timelines
and
you've
shown
how
we
get
to
the
how
we've
gotten
to
where
we
are,
and
the
decisions
to
come
and
I
I
appreciate
it.
H
So
I'm
very
pleased
with
that
and
I
like
I
know
that
all
wheels
are
in
motion
of
making
the
best
decisions
and
we
we
have
a
few
to
make
and
I
guess
my
question
my
my
thought
pattern
is:
when
do
we
really
look
at
our
strategic
plan
at
what
point
does
it
become
a
bit
of
a
where
we
have
to
get
serious
about
that?
I
mean
we're.
Not
quite
maybe
I
think
we're
there,
but
you
know
we
know
that
along
this
path.
H
N
Thank
you,
and,
and
for
you
mr.
mayor,
that
is
a
very
good
question.
Councilor
oseroff
and
thank
you
for
all
the
other
comments.
It's
been
everybody's
really
pulled
together
on
this
in
terms
of
the
strategic
plan,
I
think
so
tonight.
What
is
in
front
of
you
are
our
deferrals.
Some
of
them
are
short-term
deferrals.
Other
ones
are
longer-term,
but
I
do
to
your
point.
N
Some
of
the
priorities
may
no
longer
be
as
critical
as
they
were,
maybe
a
year
and
a
half
to
two
years
ago,
in
light
of
impacts
of
kovin
19,
so
I
think
that
would
be
a
very
good
exercise,
but
I
would
say
the
summer
is
probably
a
little
bit
too
early
most
likely
sometime
around
the
fall.
I
think
we'll
have
a
better
sense
of
the
impact,
especially
on
on
the
business
community.
Thank.
F
Nikki,
mayor
Paterson
and
through
you
I,
really
appreciated
how
the
report
was
structured
in
chunks.
It
made
it
very
discernible
and
easy
to
understand
so
two
questions
from
me
right
now.
One
has
to
do
with
the
mayor's
economic
recovery
task
force.
It
was
mentioned
in
the
report
and
I
think
we
all
recognize
that
it's
going
to
play
an
important
piece,
this
discussion,
but
other
than
being
mentioned.
F
It
didn't
give
much
detail
so
I'm
wondering
perhaps
even
mayor
Paterson
can
speak
to
that
a
bit
around
mandate,
who's
on
it
I
recognize
some
of
this
has
been
discussed
at
Council
before,
but
because
it
was
in
the
report
with
a
relationship
to
some
of
these
decisions.
I
think
more
information
would
be
helpful.
A
So,
thank
you.
Cancer,
Kiley
I'm,
happy
to
to
answer
questions
about
the
economic
recovery
team.
So
the
first
thing
that
I'll
say
is
that
the
the
terms
of
reference,
the
Q&A
about
exactly
what
the
team
is
and
what
it
isn't
and
and
and
those
sorts
of
documents
are
all
on
my
website,
mayor,
Paterson,
comm.
The
reason
why
I
start
on
the
city
website
is
it
really
is
more
of
a
community
effort,
and
so
there's
the
cities
of
participant,
but
it's
not
being
necessarily
led
by
the
city
per
se.
But
what
I?
A
What
I
can
can
share
is
that
there
are.
There
are
10
members
of
the
economic
recovery
team
right
now.
It's
myself
CIO
hurdle.
Then
we
have
seven
seven
representatives
from
the
seven
sectors
that
have
been
hardest
hit
by
the
by
the
coab
in
19
and
emic,
and
then
a
thanks
to
to
several
of
you
around
the
table
that
helped
me
to
to
choose
a
representative
from
from
labor
as
well.
A
I
think
that
it
was
great
suggestions
that
we
should
make
sure
that
it's
very
seen
that
this
recovery
team
is
business
and
labor
working
together
to
on
the
recovery
and
so
as
we
have
those
and
that
we
also
have
a
doctrine
work
and
his
team
of
kfl
Aeneid
that
are,
there
are
special
advisers.
So
we
had
our
first
first
meeting
of
the
recovery
team
this
morning.
I
think
it
was.
It
was
a
good
meeting
kind
of
hit
the
ground
running
and
we're
probably
gonna
meet
every
couple
of
weeks.
A
F
You
so,
in
addition
to
reporting
to
council
from
your
group
and
sorry,
you
can
hear
some
neighborhood
dark
augsburg
behind
me
is
I'm
going
to
be
informed
of
which
recommendations
it
makes
to
the
bureaucracy,
then
that
come
to
us
come
to
us.
So
we
can
kind
of
understand
that
relationship
a
bit
more
fully.
I.
Think,
for
example,
of
deferral
of
Taxation
personal
businesses
likely
details
will
come
from
the
recovery
team,
and
you
just
explained
the
process
a
bit
more
sure.
A
No
absolutely
so
so
the
way
the
team
is
set
up.
I
will
probably
look
at
different
if
it's
solutions,
different
initiatives,
different
programs
that
could
be
implemented
by
a
variety
of
organizations.
So
there
could
be
some
recommendations
that
the
the
chamber
may
lead
or
that
the
be
the
downtown
business
association
may
lead
or
keiko
may
lead
you're
right,
I
expect
there
will
be
also
things
that
will
be
recommendations
to
the
city.
A
But
yes,
they
would
then
come
as
a
as
a
recommendation
from
staff,
and
then
it
would
be
up
to
City
Council
to
either
say
yes
or
no,
and
so
you
can
think
of
in
some
ways.
The
recovery
team
in
that
case
would
be
almost
like
an
advisory
committee,
so
they're
really
kind
of
helping
staff
and
myself
kind
of
refine
and
focus
what
we
think
are
the
the
highest
value
highest
impact,
most
effective
ways
that
we
can
help,
but
ultimately
it
is
up
to
City
Council.
F
F
Specifically
one
of
the
line
items
CEO
hurdle
that
you
had
in
your
slide
about
deferring
the
study
of
the
electrification
of
the
transit
fleet,
I'm
wondering
if
you
could
help
me
and
others
understand
that
rationale
a
bit
and
the
reason
I
ask
is
because
it
is
only
a
study
and
I
see
it
as
something
if
we're
putting
off,
studying
we're,
putting
off
acting
on
it
even
further
down
the
road
so
yeah.
If
you
could
talk
a
bit
about
that,
that
would
be
helpful.
Please.
N
You
and
for
you
all,
gets
ready.
Mr.
kid
may
also
want
to
add
to
to
my
response,
so
I
believe
the
deferral
that's
being
proposed
about
six
months
in
terms
of
time
frame
in
in
their
report.
So
one
of
the
issues
and
I've
mentioned
this
earlier
in
the
presentation
is
one
of
the
things
we've
had
to
do
is
pull
from
our
existing
staff
resources
from
these
priorities
to
do
other
work.
N
So
if
I,
if
I
take
transportation
for
as
an
example,
they
have
been
quite
busy
with
you
know,
shutting
down
some
of
the
parking
now
we'll
be
reintroducing
parking
at
some
point.
That's
a
lot
of
work
also
with
what
changes
to
transit
we've
had
to
implement
quite
quickly,
but
also
I
would
add
to
that
other
initiatives
that
we're
currently
working
on,
for
example,
with
with
the
downtown
looking
at
street
closures.
So
we
are
actively
working
on
those
and
it's
it.
It's
obviously
a
staff
time.
It's
a
capacity
issue
that
we're
trying
to
manage.
O
Through
you,
mr.
mayor,
yes,
agree
with
everything
the
CEO
has
added,
but
I
would
add
that
the
other
factor
at
the
time
was
we
would
need
consultants
to
come
into
the
building
and
we
need
to
be
able
to
work
closely.
We
need
to
so
when
we
we've
been
working
over
the
last
60
days
with
you
know,
limited
access
and
only
were
absolutely
critical,
so
we
did
lose.
We
did
certainly
lose
a
couple
of
months
of
time
on
that
and
then
coupled
that,
with
the
resources
that
we
have
available
to
do
this
work.
F
Thank
you,
I
recognized
challenges
that
you've
described
and
lots
of
good
work
has
been
done,
despite
them
I'm
wondering
only
in
follow-up.
If,
when
we
come
together
as
Council
to
look
at
the
strategic
plan,
as
was
mentioned
earlier
or
to
have
a
more
wholesome
perspective
of
what
kovat
realities,
look
like
in
the
long
term,
is
there
an
opportunity
at
that
point
to
reaffirm
our
commitment
to
seeing
things
like
the
electrification
of
the
fleet
happen
as
soon
as
possible?
N
N
Meanwhile,
we
have
other
things
such
as
our
downtown
Center
of
Excellence,
for
tourism
may
not
be
as
much
of
a
priority,
considering
the
impact
that
we've
seen
on
the
tourism
industry,
so
I
think
there's
gonna
be
a
number
of
things
that
are
gonna,
be
reviewed,
but
this
one
in
particular,
unless
commissioner
kid
thinks
that
she
can
make
it
happen
sooner
I.
Don't
think
that
would
be
the
case.
I
think
that
one
would
stick
to
the
June
timeframe.
E
O
You
you
worship,
for
this
particular
type
of
work.
I,
don't
see
that
a
six
month
deferral
is
going
to
create
any
significant
increase
in
the
cost
of
having
the
study
conducted.
It's
a
very
ethical
study
that
that
needs
to
understand
what
type
of
power
we
would
need
to
draw
based
on
the
number
of
buses
we
may
want
to
run,
and
then
what
the
what's
coming
in
and
and
into
the
building
and
all
of
those
capacity
issues.
I
would
remind
council,
though,
that
we
do
have
two
electric
buses
on
order.
O
They,
those
both
of
those
buses,
were
funded
through
grant
funding.
We
have
been
notified
that
we'll
have
a
slight
delay
of
you
know
a
few
months
longer
than
what
we
anticipated,
because
again,
even
the
manufacturers
were
impacted
by
bike,
ovid
and,
and
so
some
of
their
operations
were
slowed
down,
but
we
do
have
two
electric
buses
on
order.
We
expect
to
have
them
on
the
ground,
hopefully
with
first
quarter
of
2021
and
we'll
get
them
in
operation.
So
the
feasibility
study
was
more
about
as
we
want
to
expand
that
number.
O
I
T
O
T
With
regards
to
the
RFPs
and
consultants
and
whatnot,
is
it
possible
to
have
hours
because
they
have
to
you
know,
breach
the
closeness
of
proximity?
Come
on
to
the
City,
Council
and
I?
Realize
we've
declared
this
emergency
back
in
March
on
the
26th,
with
regards
to
rfp's
being
released,
it's
not
something
that
we
can
report
to
Council
before
they're
released
and
discussed,
because,
obviously
that's
that's.
N
It's
now
three
Miss
Maier's,
the
RFP
that
we
would
release
would
be
RFPs
that
were
already
planned
for
contemplated
most
of
them
at
this
point,
probably
construction
in
nature,
so
any
other
RFP.
So
we
have
different
ways:
different
reporting
mechanism
as
well.
We
do
have
anything,
that's
below
a
certain
threshold,
financial
trash
hole
that
is
reported
to
Council
in
terms
of
award
of
of
work
and
and
you
get
that
on
a
monthly
basis.
N
We
also
have
to
report
to
Council
if
we
have
our
RFPs,
where
we
don't
meet
our
purchasing
bylaw,
which
means
three
submissions
and
if
we're
not
selecting
the
lowest,
that
does
have
to
come
to
council,
but
in
terms
of
the
RFPs
that
are
related
to
the
work,
the
ones
that
are
right.
That
would
be
connected
to
the
projects
that
are
proposed
to
be
deferred.
Obviously,
we
would
not
be
issuing
RFP
for
those.
T
N
You
and
answering
I
think
a
couple
of
things
so
I
think
the
state
of
emergency
and
the
delegated
authority
that
you've
provided
to
the
CIA
or
are
two
separate
things
you
could
choose
to
remove
any
authority
for
the
CIO
to
make
any
Kovan
related
decisions
right
now.
If
you
wanted
to
I
think
that
was
in
state
that
was
put
in
place
to
be
able
to
respond
quickly.
So,
for
example,
if
I,
if
I
pick
situations
we
have
with
homelessness,
I
can
tell
you
that
when
we
opened
up
those
new
locations,
we
had
to
respond
quickly.
N
So
those
are
the
types
of
situation
you
you
get
an
update
on
it
almost
on
a
daily
basis
in
terms
of
things
that
are
happening
or
things
that
we
may
be
changing,
as
it
relates
to
service
level
that
we
need
to
adapt
to
respond
to
the
changing
situation
with
covent.
So
when
we
increase
transit
services
vacu
you
receive
these
notifications
that
are
provided
almost
on
a
daily
basis.
So
you
could
choose
to
do
this
now.
You
don't
have
to
wait
for
the
end
of
the
emergency.
N
A
I
can
I
just
jump
in
I
just
wanted
to
add
just
one
other
piece
to
your
last
question.
Obviously
the
floor
just
on
the
state
of
emergency
piece,
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
did
when
we
declared
the
municipal
state
of
emergency.
If
we
we
made
a
move
to
do
it
regional,
so
it
was
myself
than
the
wardens
of
frenetic
Lexington
in
consultation
where
our
chief
medical
officer,
dr.
work,
that
we
made
that
decision
when
we
saw
community
transmission
that
we
made
the
operation.
A
So
we
are
having
those
discussions
now
about
when
would
be
the
appropriate
time.
So
if
that
state
of
emergency
but
I
think
that
our
thinking
right
now
is
that
we
would
probably
look
to
do
that
when
the
province
lifts
its
state
of
emergency.
Do
at
this,
so
I
just
wanted
to
just
let
you
know
that
that
is
that's
a
discussion.
That's
happening
regionally
and
again
with
dr.
more.
If
that
helps.
T
That's
what
about
you
yeah
and
another
question
I
have
was
with
regards
to
the
deferral
of
the
El
Prat
OMB
expenses
to
from
q2
to
q3
I'm
wondering
you
know,
what's
really
I
understand,
you're
trying
to
calculate
some
of
the
staff
costs,
but
that's
really
not
the
issue
of
concern.
The
issue
of
concern
is
the
actual
fixed
expenses
you
would
have
received.
Invoices
for
I
can't
understand
why
we
would
continue
to
defer
this
request
for
the
fiscal
accountability
for
these
only
B&L
pad
hearings.
T
U
A
N
Thank
you,
and,
and
three
you
miss
me
so
I
think
what
we
were
trying
to
do
is
obviously
councillor
Chappell.
We
were
trying
to
meet
the
mandate
of
emotion,
which
does
include
some
staff
time
following
requests
in
motion.
I
think
we're
talking
about
deferral
of
a
quarter
here.
So
it's
it's
something
that,
because
we've
had
some
staff,
especially
on
the
legal
side
as
well,
that
have
been
pulled
into
multiple
other
koban
related
things
as
the
province
has
been
changing
things
quite
quickly.
N
N
Thank
you
and
and
three
mr.
mayor,
so
a
couple
of
things
one
is
that
there
are
still
decisions
that
are
within
the
authority
of
the
administration,
so
anything
related
to
him.
Bay's
human
resources
would
not
go
through
an
audit
committee
or
not
come
to
Council.
Those
are
within
the
Mandate
of
the
administration.
That's
why
there
is
an
administration
in
place.
N
Anything
else
would
have
to
come
to
Council,
so
tonight
you're
faced
with
some
difficult
decisions,
because
it
includes
deferral
of
a
number
of
projects
and
council
priorities.
Those
would
still
have
to
come
to
council
because
council
is
the
body
that
has
the
authority
to
make
those
decision.
An
audit
committee
would
not
have
this
kind
of
authority,
so
the
the
decision-making
would
still
come
back
essentially
to
Council
or
remain
with
administration.
U
Couple
of
questions
anyway,
first
of
all,
Thank
You
staff,
it's
a
good
report
and
for
all
your
efforts
on
the
last
couple
of
months,
at
least
he
this
one.
We
when
we
come
to
looking
for
money
to
save
it'll,
be
large
items
and
small
items,
and
so
they've
talked
to
staff
with
us
before,
and
that
is
the
four
bag
limit
on
garbage.
M
U
O
O
U
That's
good
yeah
right,
I
suggested
at
the
time
this
was
six
weeks
ago
and
so
that
two
bags
I
realized
there
was
a
tag
problem.
Where
do
you
purchase
them?
How
do
they
apply
so
I
think?
That's,
that's,
hopefully,
that's
workable
and
go
ahead
with
that.
My
next
question
has
to
do
with
the
tax
deferral
I
mean
we
do
have
to
read,
run
the
city.
We
have
to
have
resources
to
do
that,
funding
so
I'm,
just
wondering
what
I
mean
I
read
the
report.
U
It
was
in
a
previous
report
as
well,
but
I'm
just
wondering
what
elements
were
under
consideration.
We
know
our
number
of
people
are
unemployed
and
that
affects
their
cash
flow.
Is
this
something
we
actually
ever
researched
answer
on
Mookie?
It
seems
to
me
a
lot
of
people
can't
pay
their
taxes
and
we're
gonna
need
it
eventually.
So
and
then
a
number
of
people
are
probably
stressed.
So,
do
you
have
any
research
on
that
I
mean
where
we're
at
as
a
community
in
terms
of
ability
to
pay?
It's
good.
S
Thank
You
3
mr.
Mayer,
so
yes,
we've
got
quite
a
bit
of
research.
We
do
actually
on
that
with
other
municipalities,
I'm
on
a
call
every
Friday
afternoon
with
the
Ontario
treasurer's
group,
and
we
compare
notes-
and
that's
certainly
one
of
the
agenda
items
that
we
continue
to
discuss
around
some
of
the
tax
relief
programs.
S
Your
comment
was
certainly
bang
on
in
terms
of
there
are
a
number
of
people
that
can't
afford
to
pay
their
taxes
that
continue
to
earn
the
income
as
always
and
should
be
able
to
pay
the
taxes
as
always,
and
so
what
we're
looking
at
now,
while
for
the
first
couple
of
months,
we
waived
penalty
and
interest
on
any
outstanding
20:20
in
term
bills.
Before
we
issue
the
final
bill,
we
really
want
to
start
targeting
tax
relief
programs
to
those
that
need
it.
U
Construction
and
building,
and
all
that
as
long
as
it's
safe
for
the
so
I
wondered
if
we
did
any
kind
of
cost-benefit
analysis
on
on
ways
to
speed
applications
through
through
our
planning
process.
I,
don't
want
to
drop
the
regu,
the
necessary
requirements
or
anything
like
that,
because
that
often
protects
the
community,
but
the
you
know
to
do
would
it
matter
if
we
actually
took
on
expenses
to
hire
consultants
so
that
next
year
we're
in
a
better
position
to
proceed
when
it's
appropriate?
N
You
and
now
three
ministers,
so
my
colleagues
may
want
to
add
to
my
response.
So
the
first
thing
that
I
want
to
mention
is:
we
have
continued
our
planning
and
building
inspection
with
any
significant
interruptions.
We
know
a
number
of
municipalities
did
put
on
hold,
for
example,
their
planning
committee
meetings
for
a
period
of
time.
Some
of
them
probably
have
not
started
them
again,
so
we
have
been
able
to
continue
to
accept
applications
because,
as
you
know
now,
this
has
done
online.
N
There's
a
submission
online
we've
been
able
to
continue
the
reviews
and
to
move
files
through
the
process.
I
think
the
I
think
what
the
report
notes
is
not
so
much
that
the
city
has
had
to
delay
construction
because
of
HO
bid,
but
rather
two
things.
One
is
the
province
for
a
while
did
put
obviously
a
stop
to
certain
types
of
construction
and
and
also
we
have
seen
a
reduction
in
terms
of
what's
coming
from
the
industry.
We
have
been
continuing
to
process
things,
as
we
normally
would.
U
Business
interest
in
doing
things
the
uncertainty
in
the
economy
in
that
has
sort
of
made
a
natural
quoting
of
natural
adjustment.
Okay,
because
you
can
see
where
I
was
going,
it
was
more
about
preparing
and
trying
to
make
up
lost
time
in
next
year,
because
it's
gonna
affect
our
budget
well
going
forward.
U
U
So
protect
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
I
think
that's
the
time,
and
so
it's
going
to
be
more
than
a
year
deferred
and
I'm
wondering
how
that
secondary
question,
how
that
affects
the
status
of
the
Wellington
Street
extension,
because
I
think
that's
part
of
the
tying
up
of
all
these
studies
in
the
downtown.
So
that's.
Q
So
we've
had
to
prioritize
looking
at
different
areas
of
the
city.
We
have
growth
pressures
in
Williamsville
that
are
a
little
bit
higher
priority.
I
would
say
versus
some
of
the
other
work
which
I
think
North
Kingstown
will
be
a
lower
long-term,
secondary
plan
that
will
see
build
over
a
number
of
years,
but
you
are
correct
that
the
the
Wellington
Street
extension
has
formed
a
part
of
that
secondary
plan.
U
M
Q
Q
You
may
recall,
through
some
of
our
earlier
conversations
on
density
by
design,
one
of
the
key
elements
that
we're
bringing
forward
is
this
concept
of
green
lighting
development
in
the
areas
where
we
want
to
see
them.
So
that
exercise
are
those
two
policy
exercises
and
we've
had
break
it
into
chunks
based
on
different
geographies
in
the
city
to
tackle
them
strategically.
One.
Q
At
a
time
is
really:
how
can
we
ensure
that
the
policies
for
our
downtown
and
Williams,
or
what
we've
seen
a
lot
of
development
pressure
and
where
we
need
to
continue
to
provide
housing
to
supporters,
our
post-secondary
institutions
as
well?
How
can
we,
you
know,
get
those
policies
through
to
Council
for
consideration
and
decision
as
a
strategy
to
help
greenlight
development
and
in
the
city
and
also
as
a
as
a
way
now
within
the
the
kovat
context,
to
help
but
stimulate
the
economy.
So
that's
one
of
our
strategies.
U
G
Chance
to
see
you
all
and
thank
you
face
to
face,
but
we've
been
feeling
feeling
lots
of
gratitude
and
hearing
it
from
residents
as
well.
The
I
have
one
fairly
small
question:
it's
related
to
the
there's,
a
reference.
One
of
the
capital
projects
being
deferred
is
the
lighting
of
pathways
and
it's
not
specifically
in
the
strategic
priorities
of
councils.
G
So
therefore,
it's
not
in
the
chart
at
the
back
or
at
least
I,
can't
see
where
it
fits
in
so
I'm
curious
about
the
timeline
and
I
guess
the
three
million
dollars
that
is
dedicated
to
lighting
of
pathways.
Just
so
just
for
context,
I
suppose
and
clarification
is
refers
to
active
transportation
routes
similar
to
what
we
have
been
do
when
we
have
in
labor
a
grant.
The
labor
grant
pathway
is
that
is
that
what
that
item
refers
to
you,
but
like
citywide,.
O
Through
you,
your
worship,
so
that's
actually
a
budget
envelope.
Council
may
recall
that
when
the
active
transportation
plan
was
originally
lighting,
four
pathways
was
not
included
in
in
the
budget
overall
budget
for
it.
So
when
we
brought
the
implementation
plan
forward,
we
created
this
envelope
for
that
purpose.
O
Because
again
we
recognize
that
that
lighting
is
important
during
the
winter
months
when
people
are
still
actively
out
and
using
these
these
pathways.
So
what
we're
recommending
is
simply
deferring
that
spending
into
2021
at
this
point,
so
there
are
two
new
pathways
that
we're
developing
and-
and
we
didn't
see
any
harm
in
not
actually
spending
that
money,
so
that
deferral
is
more
of
a
benefit
to
our
cash
flow.
At
this
point
in
time,.
G
O
I'm
sorry,
I,
don't
I
know
that
there
are
two
projects,
but
that
are
scheduled
to
proceed.
Both
of
them
are
linked
to
utilities.
Kingston
projects
as
well,
so
I
don't
have
a
defined
timeline
on
those
counselor,
but
we
did
not
recommend
them
for
deferral,
so
we
proceeded
with
pathways
as
soon
as
we
can
can
get
the
projects
line
back
up
and
and
get
the
work
done
and
then,
if
the
lighting
had
to
come
after
the
fact,
we
don't
think
that's
going
to
be
that
problematic
right.
Thank
you.
J
Okay,
I'm
good
right
now.
Thank
you
very
much,
your
worship.
Thank
you
to
staff
for
all
the
details
in
Exhibit
B.
They
were
a
great
help
and
they're
very,
very
detailed
I
have
some
questions
for
Exhibit
D,
which
is
the
schedule
for
roads
and
for
sidewalks
so
other
than
like
the
parks
and
some
of
the
projects
mentioned
specifically
in
the
report.
Is
it
true,
then,
that
everything
else
in
Exhibit
D
would
still
be
going
on
this
year
in
2024,
sidewalks
and
roads.
O
Sure
your
worship,
so
unfortunately,
there
was
a
column
that
was
left
off.
This
exhibit
that
would
have
explained
that,
but,
as
for
all
of
the
projects
listed
in
the
initial
section,
under
concrete
sidewalk
and
bus
paths
and
due
to
the
nature
of
that
work
and
having
to
be
done
in
very
close
quarters
with
people
working
very
closely
together,
all
of
that
work
that
was
scheduled
for
2020
is
now
being
deferred
to
2021.
O
O
J
J
Keats
about
the
utility's
Kingston
water
main
works
being
done
that
originally,
when
we
all
met
with
on
city
engineering
in
January,
we
all
had
one-on-ones,
as
you
know,
to
do
a
synopsis
of
our
district
and
that's
when
some
water
main
projects
for
our
district,
we're
told
to
us
that
would
be
happening
this
year
and
I
just
wondered
from
mr.
Keats.
M
Mister
Keach
yeah,
so
you
threw
your
worship,
so
we
are
actually
publishing
a
list
similar
to
what
city
engineering
has
put
out,
and
it
was
the
press
release
going
out
about
that
before
the
end
of
the
week
and
I
know,
the
councillors
requests
that
this
morning
and
passed
on
staff
I
think
the
specific
projects
that
you
are
talking
about
will
still
continue
ahead.
There
are
some
realigning
projects
that
are
going
to
be
canceled
and
we're
cancelling
them.
J
You
very
much
and
I
have
a
question
for
I'm
Commissioner
Kidd,
it's
about
on
the
yard,
waste,
Depot
and
so
right
now
on
our
city
website.
It
says
that
we're
doing
drop-offs
at
car
crate
for
yard
waste
I'm
up
until
May
31st
on
your
garbage
day
on
this
week,
wasn't
shortened
week
and
a
lot
of
people
in
my
district.
They
have
garbage
day
on
Friday,
so
does
that
mean
they
can
go
on
Saturday
or
do?
Can
they
still
go
on
Friday,
as
that
was
going
to
be
the
regular
garbage
day?
How
does
it
work?
Quinn?
J
Right
so
it
kind
of
means
that
Saturday's
gonna
be
really
busy,
because
everyone
in
the
West
and
Saturday
was
that
extra
day
you
could
drop
off
anyway,
and
now
everyone
with
Friday
will
also
be
on
Saturday,
so
Saturday,
it's
gonna
be
pretty
busy
because
the
weather's
really
nice,
everyone
was
gardening
on
the
long
weekend
and
they
probably
have
tons
of
yard
waste
bags.
So
does
it
look
like
maybe
for
June,
then
we're
gonna
go
back
to
regular
worst
part,
we're
sorry,
the
yard
waste
Depot
could
be
open.
Every
Saturday
for
June.
J
O
Haven't
got
a
solid
date
yet
for
yard
waste,
but
we
have
been
working
with
our
contractor
and
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
help
to
encourage
some
of
the
social
distancing
recommendations
and
recognizing
that.
Yes,
this
is
the
time
of
year.
When,
when
that
service
is
in
demand,
we
will
definitely
be
taking
a
look
at
that.
We
should
be
able
to
get
some
information
into
Council
on
that
I
would
say
by
mid
next
week
all
right.
A
A
A
E
Including
cultural
and
recreation,
and
a
freeze
on
all
non-union
salaries
for
2020,
and
whereas
council
members
currently
receive
a
cost-of-living
increase
to
their
salaries
on
an
annual
basis
and
whereas,
if
we
as
a
council,
are
looking
to
our
city
administration
to
make
the
necessary
and
tough
financial
decisions
to
maintain
the
services,
whereas
I
expect,
then
we
as
a
council
need
to
do
our
part
to
contribute
to
the
city's
financial
stability.
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
city
treasurer
be
directed
to
eliminate
the
cost
of
living
increase
for
members
of
council,
effective,
December,
1st
2024
2021.
A
Thank
you
very
much
deputy
mayor,
so
we
just
spent
the
last
couple
of
hours
asking
questions
and
discussing
staff
report
detailing
all
of
the
decisions
that
have
had
made
and,
of
course,
we
populace
in
the
decisions
that
councils
had
to
make
did
the
first
certain
projects.
But
there
are
a
number
of
difficult
go
so
far
as
to
say
gut.
Wrenching
staff
and
decisions
at
CA,
o
hurdle
and
her
team
have
had
to
make
to
deal
with
the
the
deficit
that
we
are
we
are
confronted
with.
A
A
So
I
know
that
there's
been
you
know
some
some
propositions
about
trying
to
cut
costs
wherever
possible
and
asking
all
non-union
employees
to
you
know
to
freeze
their
wages,
so
that's
again
to
save
dollars,
and
so
this
motion
is
essentially
to
bring
bring
us
as
members
of
council
in
line
with
that.
I
think
it's
only
right
that
if
we
are
asking
our
other
city
employees
to
to
freeze
their
salaries,
then
we
should
do
the
same
thing,
and
so
that
effectively
is
is
the
nature
of
what
this
motion
motion
is
about.
A
It
is
just
to
show
that
solid
dirty.
The
one
thing
that
I
will
say
and
I
appreciate,
accounts
McLaren
raising
this
point
earlier
this
afternoon
is
that,
of
course,
our
cost-of-living
increase
would
be
tied
to
what
the
inflation
rate
would
be
as
of
as
of
this
October,
and
that
there
is
there
is
a
risk
of
deflation
and
and
what
what
that
would
mean
so
so
I
have
discussed
it
with
staff,
but
I
am
comfortable
with
the
wording
that
we
have
and
I'll
explain.
Why.
A
You'll
see
that
the
the
motion
is
to
eliminate
a
cost-of-living
increase,
just
to
be
clear.
If
there
was
deflation,
it
would
be
a
cost-of-living
decrease,
and
since
the
motion
is
not
asking
to
eliminate
a
cost-of-living
decrease
I've
spoken
with
staff,
it
will
be
interpreted
that
if
that
was
the
case,
that
in
fact
we
would
have
increase
if
that
was
to
occur.
A
Otherwise,
it
is
to
effectively
freeze
our
salary
in
the
presence
of
inflation
again
in
line
with
what
we're
asking
from
our
Naumann
employees,
so
with
that
certainly
happy
to
take
any
questions
or
comments
from
Council,
but
I
certainly
hope
that
you
know
we
can
take
this
step
and
again
show
that
you
know
everyone
here.
The
city
is,
is
going
to
take
those
steps
to
try
to
deal
with
the
financial
challenges
to
work.
Faced
with.
Thank
you.
E
T
A
E
U
U
E
A
L
E
S
L
L
Versus
the
four
four
million
deficit,
okay
I
agree
with
the
basic
premise
that
every
little
bit
helps
and
so
15,000
verses,
four
million
every
little
bit
helps
I.
Guess
it's
a
good
idea,
but
it's
nowhere
near
what
we
need
to
be
doing
as
a
council.
As
far
as
the
difficult
decisions,
the
difficult
decisions
have
to
do
with
what
1%
of
city
spending
and
we
defer
or
cancel
not
little
window
dressing,
things
like
$15,000
or
arm.
So
that's
my
opinion,
but
just
putting
into
perspective.
Thank
you.
Yes,.
P
Id
deputy
amendment
through
you
just
I,
mean
in
in
speaking
with
mayor
Paterson,
about
this.
This
motion.
No,
when
we
were
discussing
it,
was
never
about
the
the
actual
alderman
stop
to
my
understanding
and
the
intention
essentially
behind
it
is
simply
just
for
that
solid
area
that
teamwork.
If
we're
asking
everybody
else
to
me,
you
dive
in
and
just
get
one
cut
it
all
at
a
one
department
or
you
do
you
try
to
go
to
each
little
bit
and
have
everybody
tighten
their
belts
a
little
bit,
so
they
kind
of
spread
the
pain
out.
P
So
this
is
more
just
our
contribution.
It's
it's
a
drop
in
the
bucket,
but
after
many,
many
drops
in
the
bucket
will
hopefully
find
the
net
four
or
five
million
dollars
whatever
comes
to
in
the
end,
and
this
was
also
more
about
just
showing
that
we
are
all
in
this
together
and
if
we're
asking
other
people
to
defer
their
cost
of
living
increases,
then
we
should
also
know
extent.
So
it's
it's
that
solidarity
behind
it
to
serve
that
we're
also
willing
to
do
this,
two
things
that
we're
basically
expecting
other.
E
You
very
much
I
just
want
to
quickly
say
yes,
this
is
symbolic,
I,
never
want
to
say
merely
symbolic.
I
spent
my
career
as
a
literature
teacher
and
as
a
drama
teacher,
so
symbols
are
important
and
I
also
want
to
remind
people
that
in
the
two
times
in
the
last
11
years,
when
the
discussion
of
our
salary
came
up,
I
was
opposed
to
the
idea
of
a
cost-of-living
allowance.
I
supported
the
motions
that
were
recommended
by
the
community
group
that
was
struck,
but
it
is
unfortunate.
E
I
think
that
we're
the
only
only
group
on
the
city
payroll
that
has
a
cost-of-living
allowance,
our
Union
and
our
non-union
workers
and
all
of
our
workers
throughout
the
community
do
not
have
a
cost-of-living
allowance.
So,
for
those
reasons,
I
think
it's
easy
for
me
to
support
this
motion
and,
if
need
be,
when
we're
asking
our
city
workers,
both
Union
and
non-union,
to
give
up
as
much
as
as
they
may
end
up
giving
up.
Maybe
we
need
to
revisit
this
and
and
reconsider
it.
I
know
we're
all
working
harder.
E
Now
we
have
I,
have
more
zoom
meetings
and
more
hours
between
planning
and
council
and
other
committees,
commitments,
but
I
think
this
is
a
motion
that
shows
the
community
that,
yes,
it's
a
drop
in
the
bucket,
but
we're
willing
to
to
make
this
gesture
in
this
really
difficult
time.
So
I
totally
support
the
motion.
Thank
you.
You.
E
E
Problem
I
was
trying
to
give
me
time
to
find
it
on
my
phone
here.
So
I
can
now
read
it,
whereas
the
government
moved
by
Mayor
Patterson
seconded
by
deputy
mayor
Neill,
whereas
the
governments
of
Canada
and
Ontario
have
been
working
cooperatively
throughout
the
Cova
19
crisis
to
support
Canadians
and
whereas
the
governments
of
Canada
and
Ontario
have
worked
swiftly
to
provide
urgent
relief
to
people
and
businesses
to
lay
a
foundation
for
future
economic
recovery,
and
whereas
Ontario
municipalities
like
Kingston
effect
facing
plummeting
revenues
and
surging
costs.
E
As
we
work
to
protect
public
health
and
maintain
critical
services.
And
whereas
Kingston
city
council
recently
received
a
report
from
the
city
treasurer
that
identifies
a
four
million
dollar
funding
gap
related
to
kovat
that
continues
to
grow
and
whereas
the
large
urban
mayor's
caucus
of
Ontario
Luco
represents
Ontario's
20
largest
cities
with
nearly
70%
of
Ontario's
population,
of
which
Kingston
is
a
member.
And
where
is
loco.
Members
are
pleased
that
premier
and
the
premier
and
the
Prime
Minister
have
said.
E
Ontario
and
Canada
will
be
at
the
table
to
support
municipalities
and
whereas
the
governments
of
Canada
and
Ontario
have
greater
fiscal
capacity
and
tools
than
municipalities
to
provide
relief
in
this
crisis,
and
whereas
leuco
has
urged
the
federal
and
provincial
governments
to
support
municipalities
with
a
three
point
plan
that
includes
immediate
relief,
medium-term
recovery
and
long-term
reform,
and
whereas
the
city
also
supports
the
Federation
of
Canadian.
Municipalities
call
for
federal
emergency
operating
funding,
therefore
be
it
resolved.
A
You
very
much
deputy
mayor
I
made
a
comment
a
little
bit
earlier
in
our
meeting
about
the
discussions
that
are
happening
among
mayors
across
the
province,
and
so
we
have
had
discussions
about
the
ask
from
from
Canada
city
mayors,
supported
by
FCM
asking
for
this
assistance.
All
of
the
mayors
in
Ontario
have
also
supported
this
call,
and
so
this
motion
before
us
is
essentially
just
a
show
of
unity,
so
these
motions
are
being
presented
to
in
other
cities
of
our
size
or
large
or
across
the
province.
A
I
think
that
the
more
cities
that
speak
in
one
voice,
the
clearer
the
message
that
we
are
able
to
get
to
the
problems
in
the
federal
government,
and
so
that's
effectively
that
the
purpose
for
this
motion
lemco,
has
already
passed
a
motion
as
a
whole,
but
having
the
individual
cities
and
having
individual
councils
also
do
that
I
think
will
add
extra
weight
to
to
the
discussions
that
we
are
having
with
the
province
so
certainly
hope
that
council
can
support
it.
Thank.
