A
Okay,
thank
you.
I
saying
no
other
disclosures
of
potential
bikini
interest.
We
will
move
on.
We
have
no
presentations
this
evening,
but
we
do
have
a
couple
of
delegations.
So
first
we
will
invite
abba
mortley
to
appear
before
council
to
speak
to
clause
1b.
You
report
number
25
from
the
ceo
with
respect
to
the
equity,
diversity
and
inclusion,
update
and
recommendations,
and
just
a
reminder
to
our
delegations
that
you
have
five
minutes
and
that
will
be
followed
by
questions
and
answers
from
council.
G
G
G
G
G
I
believe
in
your
packages
that
you
have
the
detail
search,
so
I
wouldn't
really
go
through
it,
but
this
committee
will
be
represented
by
various
city
stakeholders
as
well
as
community
partners,
and
it
will
talk
to
those
people
who
are
specifically
noted
in
the
workplace.
Inclusion
charter
with
those
things
being
said
and
laid
out,
the
intensity
city
is
a
good
one,
but
the
key
to
success
is
to
ensure
that
all
sides
are
engaging
and
participating
in
the
conversation.
G
This
includes
the
members
of
council,
union
leaders,
managers
and
frontline
staff
for
the
city.
This
city
has
to
be
willing
to
put
in
the
work
to
assess
the
implicit
bias
that
we
all
have
and
to
put
in
measurables
and
to
be
transparent
in
policies
and
practices
that
would
be
put
in
place
more
so
not
just
ticking
off
a
box
but
to
make
sure
that
these
practices
are
also
actually
saving
the
communities
that
it's
intended
for.
G
These
groups
may
not
seem
to
come
from
associations,
but
they
seem
to
become
from
associations
that
are
affiliated
with
the
city
or
government
funding,
but
it
really
has
to
be
a
grassroots
bottom-up
approach
that
takes
into
consideration
groups
whose
opinions
and
recommendations
that
may
make
for
uncomfortable
conversations
and
may
require
radical
shifts
in
the
way
things
are
currently
done.
It
is
with
that
discomfort
that
this
city
needs
to
grow
and
the
council
has
to
commit
to
make
change
operational
and
otherwise
to
ensure
that
equitable
steps
are
put
in
place.
G
The
city
and
the
cio
have
to
create
a
culture
that
encourages
and
supports
the
changes
that
will
establish
a
bureaucratic
structure
and
dismantle
the
one
that
we
currently
have.
As
part
of
this
report,
there's
also
an
ask
for
equity
diversity,
inclusion
manager,
position
that
will
report
directly
to
the
cao
to
advance
and
support
equity
diversity
and
inclusion
effects.
G
Often
edi
issues
are
often
put
as
a
side
and
in
order
to
ensure
that
this
is
not
an
afterthought.
This
is
a
really
good
step,
and
I
hope
that
council
supports
this
position
and
that
u.s
council
have
the
fortitude
to
make
these
changes
and
be
accountable
to
these
groups
and
the
community
so
that
we
can
work
towards
creating
a
kingston,
that's
more
equitable
and
inclusive.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
H
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
thank
you
very
much.
Miss
mortley.
I
especially
think
thankful,
because
I
know
that
the
work
that
you're
doing
is
involves
that
extra
burden
to
be
to
be
a
leader
in
the
community
and
to
fight
racism.
When
and
and
to
be.
You
know
to
be
called
to
to
lead
this
work
and
to
do
it.
I'm
really
appreciative
of
your
time,
so
the
the
ques.
I
have
a
couple
questions.
G
So
I
think
the
thing
is
really
to
have
a
call
out
to
grassroots
kind
of
associations
and
go
to
places
that
are
not
necessarily
ones
that
you
would
initially
be
attracted
to,
because
you
need
to
get
that
diversity,
because
not
everybody
is
the
same,
and
in
order
to
have
a
good
spread
and
in
order
to
get
the
information
and
the
value
that
you
would
like.
I
think
that
whatever
your
rules
of
engagement
to
engaging
people
needs
to
be
an
open
process
that
may
be
not
necessary
and
mistake.
G
H
Yeah,
thank
you,
and,
secondly,
I'm
and
again,
and
first
of
all-
apologies,
dr
mortley.
I
saw
your
name
on
the
screen.
I
did
not
see
the
doctor
and
so-
and
I
really
I
should
not
have
done
that
question
is
regarding
potential
opportunities
for
council
to
show
leadership
in
terms
of
training.
Often
what
we're
doing
is
sort
of
inward
focused
on
the
corporation
on
staff,
and
I
know
that
the
goal
is
to
sort
of
create
opportunities
across
the
community.
But
what
would
you
recommend?
G
G
Are
you
looking
at
that
lens
for
people
of
color
indigenous
groups,
not
just
one
indigenous
groups
of
different
variety,
and
are
you
taking
those
considerations
into
the
way
that
you
may
be
answering
questions
or
in
your
responses
in
the
way
that
you
look
at
a
situation,
so
I
think
it
really
takes
an
introspective
look
at
the
way
things
are
being
done
and
questioning
and
challenging.
That
is
that.
Is
that
really
everybody,
or
is
it
just
looking
to
check
a
box?
G
How
do
we
do
things
so
that
we
can
get
a
better
diversity
within
our
council
itself?
How
are
we
doing
that
so
that
for
the
next
council
round
that
maybe
we
might
have
somebody
of
color
or
somebody
who
may
look
different
from
what
the
the
council
that
I'm
looking
at
is
now?
Are
you
going
to
put
in
something
that's
equitable?
I
Thank
you
for
your
worship,
dr
martley.
It's
I
was
impressed
with
the
report,
but
I
was
wondering
if
it
was,
you
mentioned
inclusion
or
bringing
everyone
to
the
table
to
have
that
dialogue.
I
noticed
that
on
that
list
of
participants
there
was
no
reference
to
business
communities
with
the
chamber
of
commerce.
I
You
know
that
would
help
bridge
the
gap
for
employment
opportunities.
Perhaps
and-
and
we
I
attended
your
session-
you
hosted
recently
and
chief
mcneely
was
an
incredible
presenter
and
I
learned
a
lot
from
that
presentation,
and
so
I
don't
see
anything
with
regards
to
including
police
onto
this
board
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
there
was
a
reason
for
that
or
design.
Or
is
it
something
that
you're
looking
to
expand
in
the
future?
I'm
just
so
clearly
great.
G
And
so
so,
this
board
is
particularly
for
your
city
staff
and
city
councillors.
There
are
two
separate
groups,
so
one
is
a
community
led
group
that
is
through
kingston
immigration
partners
that
I
think
we
stan
will
be
speaking
to
today,
and
this
particular
group
has
to
do
with
the
city
and
how
its
policies
is
existing
policies
for
staff
and
counselors
to
have
been
looked
at.
So
I
think
that's
why,
in
this
particular
purview
police
were
not
necessarily
included
in
that
list.
J
J
So
I'm
just
wondering
if
you
you
could
help,
or
you
know
you
will
encourage
people
the
right
people
to
apply
for
this,
and-
and
maybe
you
know,
give
a
bit
of
even
a
you
know,
encouraging
words,
but
also
even
a
reference
to
some
people
for
the
city
too,
to
to
know
that
these
are
people
who
are
really
dedicated
to
work
on
this
issue
and
get
the
right
people
together.
If
you
would
be
open
to
help
with
them.
G
G
K
A
L
Thank
you,
your
worship
and
counselors
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
this
evening
to
the
love,
kingston
marketplace,
2021
report
and
recommendations.
I'm
a
little
dark
on
the
screen
here.
So
hopefully
you
can
see
me
okay,
but
at
least
hear
me.
My
name
is
bruce
percy
and
I'm
here
this
evening
on
behalf
of
the
kingston
coalition
of
active
transportation
with
me,
are
roger
healy
from
kcat
and
gordon
smith
and
mary
jane
philp,
representing
the
kingston
velo
club.
L
We
are
all
available
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
We
wish
to
bring
to
your
attention
concerns
we
had
with
last
year's
design
and
implementation,
specifically
elements
that
impact
active
transportation.
We
have
ideas
and
recommendations
for
your
consideration
as
part
of
the
design
to
be
approved
for
2021.
L
as
we
enter
the
second
year
of
covid19
pandemic
health
concerns
surrounding
transportation
and
commuting
continue
to
weigh
on
the
minds
of
many.
Consequently,
there
has
been
a
significant
drop
in
transit
ridership
in
kingston,
as
reported
by
city
staff.
More
people
are
walking
and
cycling
to
meet
their
daily
life
needs
as
evidence
in
this
evidence
of
this
is
in
bike
shops
across
kingston.
L
L
We
saw
this
happening
last
summer
during
the
quiet
streets
pilot.
I'm
sure
counselors
have
had
similar
observations
in
neighborhoods
across
the
city,
all
to
say,
we
are
in
the
midst
of
a
significant
modal
shift
in
kingston
that
we're
still
trying
to
better
understand,
but
this
increase
in
cycling
and
walking
is
very
welcome
news
on
many
fronts.
L
I'd
like
to
bring
to
your
attention
some
problems
we
observed
with
the
design
last
summer,
link's
love,
kingston
marketplace-
is
a
major
redesign
of
the
made
of
industry
streetscape
from
division
down
to
ontario
street.
The
placement
of
the
jersey
barriers
continuously
down
the
street
resulted
in
a
significant
change
in
the
road
dynamics.
L
L
Some
thoughts
for
consideration
for
this
year
include
the
downtown
needs
more
street
side
bike
parking,
particularly
if
students
are
here.
The
design
last
year
did
not
include
enhanced
accommodation
for
secure
bike
parking.
This
was
a
serious
omission.
We
hope
will
not
be
repeated
this
year.
Secure
bike
parking
is
an
essential
element
for
cyclists.
L
In
this
regard,
we
note
that
the
active
transportation
implementation
plan
includes
a
commitment
for
2020
to
2022
to
put
in
place
a
downtown,
secure
bike
storage.
Would
this
be
an
opportunity
to
put
in
place
a
pilot
project
to
test
the
uptake
and
viability
of
secure
bike
parking
in
the
form
of
secure
bike?
Corrals
downtown
a
bike
rack
be
considered
as
a
requirement
for
each
patio
permit
located
close
enough
that
the
customer
can
keep
constant
watch
of
their
bike.
L
Similarly,
one
lane
of
princess
street
the
right
side
should
be
marked
with
green
and
white
sharrows,
at
least
one
per
block
to
facilitate
easy
cycle
access
to
retail
areas.
Now
there
is
only
one,
just
south
of
division,
the
same
for
both
lanes
on
king
street
from
queen
to
market
street
and
ontario
street.
L
And
to
allow
for
better
pedestrian
circulation,
all
pedestrian
crossings
in
the
downtown
area,
with
user
activated
buttons
should
be
programmed
to
immediately
allow
the
pedestrian
to
cross,
rather
than
allowing
the
car
signals
to
cycle
through
pedestrians
spend
cars.
Do
not
we
note
that
there
will
be
a
number
of
short-term
street
closures
over
the
course
of
the
summer.
It's
not
clear
from
the
staff
report.
How
cyclists
will
be
accommodated?
L
Will
cyclists
be
permitted
to
ride
during
the
street
closure,
or
will
they
be
required
to
dismount
and
walk
their
cycles
through
the
closed
streets
and,
finally,
for
something
fun?
Perhaps
the
restaurants
collectively
could
invite
the
cycling
community
downtown
for
a
family
bike
night,
supporting
a
number
of
goals
like
environment
and
climate
emergency,
our
need
for
exercise,
physical
fitness,
enhanced
mental
health
and
well-being.
L
In
closing,
we
look
forward
to
working
with
the
love
kingston
marketplace
team
to
help
put
in
place
a
design
this
year
that
will
accommodate
support
and
encourage
active
transportation
in
support
of
these
important
efforts
to
help
our
local
businesses
find
ways
to
attract
and
retain
customers
this
summer,
as
they
try
their
best
to
survive
in
these
hard
times.
Thank.
A
M
L
M
Okay,
well,
that
makes
two
of
us
and
I'm
the
chair
of
the
environment,
infrastructure
and
transportation
committee,
so
that'll
be
something
we
can
take
up
with
staff.
But
could
you
just
give
us
a
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
the
way
princess
street
could
potentially
be
much
more
welcoming
to
pedestrians
and
cyclists
alike
in
relation
to
traffic.
The
way
that
traffic
is
is
two-way
streets
with
parking
on
both
sides.
L
There
was
lots
of
people
on
the
sidewalk
between
waiting
in
line
to
get
into
places
or
at
a
patio,
and
it
wasn't
welcoming,
and
it
was
difficult
for
parking
and
secure
parking
is,
is
really
different
than
just
lashing
your
your
bike
onto
a
onto
a
railing.
We
need
something
more
than
that.
I
think
that
the
the
other
thing
is
that
at
the
intersections,
the
way
that
it
was
set
up,
you
would
normally
go
down
the
right
lane
and
then
it
was
blocked.
L
I
think
reducing
the
speed
would
go
a
long
way
as
well,
as
we
said
the
in
terms
of
right
now,
and
I
don't
want
to
over
generalize,
but
it
seems
that
this
report
seems
more
focused
on
look
and
feel
than
taking
into
account
pedestrian
and
psycho
presence
and
welcoming
them
and
accommodating
them,
roger
or
gordon
or
mary
jane.
Would
you
have
anything
else
to
add.
K
It's
roger
here
yeah.
I
would
add
that
I
think
there's
a
general
lack
of
awareness
of
the
fact
that
the
the
recent
household
travel
survey
reported
that
there
are
virtually
just
as
many
bicycles
as
there
are
personal
cars
in
kingston
so
to
design.
The
road
without
accommodating
cyclists
is,
is
a
just
a
huge
oversight
in
the
in
the
marketplace
design
and
when
you
look
at
the
the
most
contiguous,
the
downtown
core.
If
you
look
at
a
radius
of
three
kilometers
from
the
the
princess
street
marketplace,.
K
There's
probably
50
000
people
who
live
within
three
kilometers
and
that
represents
a
half
hour
walk
or
a
12-minute
bicycle
ride
and
again
I
live.
I
live
within
that
radius
for
sure,
and
I
do
a
lot
of
my
my
shopping
day.
Downtown
10
concerts
such
when
they
were
available,
and
hopefully
they
will
be
available
soon.
Things
like
movies,
restaurants,
all
those
things,
including
you
know,
doctor's
appointments
and
dental
appointments
and
going
to
the
bank
and
all
that
stuff.
K
A
N
Okay,
I
think
I'm
on
now
yeah,
I
think
you
know
one
of
our
objectives
is
to
bring
money
downtown.
You
know
to
get
people
spending
and
cycling
focuses
in
very
much
on
that.
If
you
make
the
place
safe
for
cyclists
safe
for
their
bikes,
I
should
say
then
we've
achieved
something
and
if
we
can
make
the
streets
comfortable
so
that
we
can
bring
our
families
downtown
and
our
children
and
our
grandchildren
and
we
don't
feel
threatened.
O
Thank
you,
mayor,
patterson,
three
rather
quickly,
mr
bersie.
Last
year,
we
also
saw
the
implementation
of
quiet
streets
and
there's
a
bit
of
a
contrast
between
what
was
happening
there
and
what
was
happening
downtown.
Could
you
talk
about
if
any
of
the
lessons
learned
through
quiet
streets
could
be
implemented,
or
maybe
those
were
informing?
Your
recommendation
is
that
part
of
the
calculation
here
at
all.
L
So
that
is
that
was.
That
was
a
very
and
I
wasn't
alone
you
could
see.
Other
people
were
starting
to
learn
that
and
use
it,
and
I
expect
that
they
will
remember
that
and
continue
doing
that
this
year,
even
though
the
quiet
street
on
mac
street
isn't
going
to
be
there
this
year.
So
I
think
that
that's
the
interconnectivity
that
we
have
we
want
it.
L
P
Great,
thank
you
and
then
my
question
is
when
you
mentioned
the
jersey
barriers,
so
I
do
ask
you
like
what
did
you
say,
a
look
and
feel
question
right?
What
did
are
you
aware
of
any
other
city
that
used
like
prettier,
jersey,
barriers
or
something
that
wasn't
so?
You
know
like
concrete
and
obtrusive
as
jersey
barriers,
or
what
do
you
want
changed
with
the
jersey.
L
From
what
I
read
in
the
report,
it's
going
to
be
different
this
year,
they're
going
to
be
smaller,
they're
going
to
be
lower
profile.
I
don't
know
what
that
looks
like,
but
that
sounds
like
it's
in
the
right
direction
and
I
think
that
it's
also
other
cities
like
toronto,
for
example-
have
used
this
as
an
opportunity
for
people
to
decorate.
L
Q
A
A
A
Hey
would
anyone
like
any
of
those
clauses
separated?
Yes,
so
cancer
bone
we're
going
to
separate
clause
number
three
for
your
pecuniary
interest
for
no
other
separations.
We
will
first
vote
on
clause
one
and
two
together
clause.
One
is
renewal
of
agreement,
pulse
point
foundation
and
clause,
2
joint
procurement
agreement
with
the
corporation
of
the
township
of
leeds
in
the
thousand
islands,
all
those
in
favor
opposed
and
that's
carried.
O
Thank
you,
mayor
patterson,
3u,
2
staff.
The
report
mentioned
that
there
were
about
32
000
meters,
cubed
of
overflow
at
collingwood
station
in
the
past
year.
I
know
the
report
has
additional
information,
but
for
the
benefit
of
any
public
listening
in
or
perhaps
even
the
media
concerned,
with
sewage
overflow
into
our
lake.
How
does
this
compare
to
previous
years?
Perhaps
staff
could
give
us
the
context
of
what
32,
000
meters
cubed
actually
means
in
relation
to
other
years.
A
R
O
Okay,
my
final
question
on
this
and
by
the
way
ms
roberts
nice,
to
have
you
at
council
again,
if
you
could
remind
council
and
again
those
listening
about
how
much
council
is
committed
to
and
over
what
period
of
time.
So
how
much
money
are
we
putting
towards
rectifying
this
situation
and
how
long
will
it
take
to
lessen
this
type
of
environmental
impact.
R
Through
your
workshop,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
questions
and
it's
always
great
to
be
at
city
council.
Thank
you
for
the
welcome
in
2019
as
part
of
the
budget
report
for
capital,
council
endorsed
a
20-year
strategy
that
starts
in
2022
to
eliminate
all
combined
sewers,
which
is
the
one
major
source
of
overflows.
P
Your
worship,
that
was
essentially
my
questions.
What
counselor
kylie
said
it
is
five
and
a
half
pages
of
of
outlines
of
all
the
sewer
overflows
from
that
station.
So
it's
hard
to
believe
that's
the
lowest
that
we've
seen
since
2015,
but
if
the
volume
is
then
you
know
it's
just
we
still
have
a
lot
of
combined.
We
have.
We
still
have
a
lot
of
sewage,
that's
going
into
lake
ontario.
P
A
A
Okay,
so
first
up
for
clause
1a,
we
have
a
briefing
so
john
bolanyoni.
Our
city
clerk
will
provide
introductory
remarks:
introduce
wasan,
ayad,
workplace
inclusion
coordinator
from
keys
job
center,
who
will
brief
council
on
clause
1b
report
number
25
received
from
the
scale
with
respect
to
acne
diversity,
inclusion,
update
and
recommendations.
S
S
Wisdom
immigrated
as
a
professional,
trilingual
business
analyst
to
canada
nine
years
ago,
struggling
as
a
racialized
person
herself.
She
decided
to
use
the
strength,
her
education,
work
and
life
experience
to
support
underrepresented
communities
in
canada,
specifically
in
kingston
through
her
work
at
the
keys
job
center
was
sam,
has
coached
and
supported
many
underrepresented
individuals
for
many
years
and
successfully
introduced
creative
methods
to
help
them
achieve
their
objectives
and
contribute
successfully
to
their
communities.
S
Examples
of
our
achievements
are
the
creation
of
the
begin
again
group
co-op
refugee
women
and
the
highest
achieved
employment
rate
in
the
province
for
immigration,
refugees
and
the
citizenship,
canada,
employment
program
that
are
known
as
destination
employment
program
with
sam.
We
look
forward
to
hearing
from
you.
Thank
you.
T
Thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
today.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
mr
person.
Thank
you,
john
for
the
introduction,
I'm
very
pleased
to
be
within
the
city
of
like
the
city
council
today,
and
to
give
you
a
little
bit
brief
about
the
motion
to
hopefully
create
in
equity
and
equity
inclusion
and
like
equity,
diversity
and
inclusion,
and
you
I
used
to
say
edi.
So
I'm
sorry,
I'm
trying
to
kind
of
you
know
say
it
in
full,
instead
of
using
acronyms,
so
you
know
bear
with
me
today.
T
I
used
to
acronyms,
more
so
for
the
creation
of
edi
or
equity
diversity
and
inclusion
advisory
committee
within
the
city
of
kingston.
So
I
would
really
appreciate
if
I
like.
First
of
all,
I
would
like
to
you
know,
share
with
you
that
I
will
be
trying
today
during
my
talk
to
kind
of
alternate
between
my
two
hats.
T
So
being
an
employee
of
key
is
specifically
coordinating
the
workplace
inclusion
charter,
but
also
as
a
racialized
person
myself
and
coming
from
some
of
the
unrepresented
communities
in
kingston,
and
I
would
be
kind
of
you
know,
trying
to
provide
both
perspective
on
on
my
speech
today.
Kind
of
thing.
T
Who
is
actually
consisting
of
you,
know
many
and
different,
diverse
backgrounds,
but
specifically
within
the
current
climate
and
at
the
wake
of
george
floyd
raleigh
that
we
have
witnessed
in
confederation
park
in
june
2020.
And
when
the
mic
actually
was
open
to
the
floor.
We
could
actually
see
many
speakers
of
all
different
of
life
ages.
T
Races
offered
their
experience,
support
and
solidarity
to
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color
who
have
been
harmed
by
racial
profiling
and
races,
not
only
in
the
united
states
but
around
the
world,
and
definitely
we
all
understand
that
you
know
canada
and
and
kingston
is
not
immune
to
systemic
racism,
and
so
many
have
called
out
actually
canadians
for
ignoring
the
racism
in
the
country
over
social
media.
You
know,
since
the
the
sense
that
raleigh
and
and
and
actually
it's
it's
keeping
on
happening
so
again,
knowing
that
the
city
of
kingston
is
not
immune.
T
The
city,
along
with
a
number
of
community
partners,
have
worked
on
initiatives
such
as
the
workplace,
place
and
immigration
strategy
in
the
last
few
years
to
create
a
more
welcoming
environment
for
the
city
of
residents.
But
it's
obvious.
There
are
lots
of
work
to
be
still
done
and
recognizing
the
barriers
to
equity
also
exists
within
the
the
city
of
kingston
as
a
corporation
or
as
an
employer,
but
also
as
a
service
provider
to
the
residents
of
the
city
of
kingston.
T
So
having
that
said,
I
really
appreciate
the
efforts
that
the
city
is
taking
in
order
to
address
the
edi
in
the
discrimination
and
reassessment
systemic
racism
issues
in
the
city
of
kingston,
and
there
are
many
many
initiatives
that
the
city
council
kind
of
approved
or
considering
for
approval,
whether
internal
or
external
initiative,
to
support
in
that
regard.
So
tonight
I'm
hoping
to
shut
the
light
on
one
of
those
initiatives
which
is
specifically
the
equity,
diversity
and
inclusion
advisory
committee.
So
can
we
please
go
to
the
next
slide.
T
Thanks
so
from
my
understanding
being
involved
with
the
city
of
kingston
in
many
different
initiatives
that
they
are
taking
right
now,
there
are
three
actually
initiatives:
that's
under
going,
so
there
is
the
equity,
diversity
and
inclusion
of
the
advisory
committee
that
we
are
pitching
tonight
and
it's
a
kind
of
an
internal
issue
initiative.
This
initiative,
indeed,
is
to
look
at
the
city
of
kingston
as
both
as
an
employer,
so
as
a
corporate,
but
also
as
a
service
provider,
and
that
maybe
would
answer
one
of
the
questions
by
by
by
the
counselors
around.
T
T
Advisory
committee
will
be
to
shut
the
light
of
how
inclusive
and
diverse
the
programs
and
the
services
and
the
service
model
that
the
city
of
kingston
is
implementing
to
serve
the
residents
of
the
city
of
kingston.
And
there
is
that
third
initiative,
that's
actually
undertaking
as
well
through
the
city
of
kingston,
and
that
dr
mort
lee
has
mentioned
too,
which
is
the
anti-racism
working
group.
That's
mostly
of
a
community
group
that
the
community
is
leading
and
the
the
city
of
kingston
is
supporting.
T
T
T
So
again,
if
we
will
be
talking
about
the
mandate
for
the
advisory
group,
so
we
are
looking
into
two
parts
of
mandates,
one
to
look
at
the
city
of
kingston
as
an
employer
and
the
other
one
as
a
service
provider.
So
the
first
mandate,
basically
or
the
first
part
of
the
mandate,
is
to
support
the
city
of
kingston
to
improve
their
equity
diversity
and
inclusion
profile
as
an
employer.
So
that
would
be
through
different
initiatives.
That's
actually
ongoing
right
now.
T
So,
as
you
might
know,
that
has
been
the
amazing
work
done
by
dr
anita
davis.
Dr
davis
actually
has
already
completed
an
environmental
scan
and
she
came
up
with
so
many
like
very
comprehensive
report.
That
includes
so
many
recommendations
for
the
city
of
kingston
to
improve
that
edi
profile
as
a
corporation
and
as
an
employer.
T
T
Inclusion
charter
we'll
be
assessing
the
current
employment
practices
determining
needs
working
on
job
postings,
making
sure
that
they
are
more
appealing
interview,
preparation
like
the
diverse
panel
or
the
hiring
committee
and
then
hopefully
with
the
advisory
group
as
well.
Once
it's
approved,
we
can
definitely
work
on
policies
and
procedures,
organization,
culture
and
retention
and
development,
or
at
least
some
of
them,
not
maybe
not
all
of
them
again
because
of
the
capacities,
but
we'll
make
sure
that
we
are
helping
and
supporting
in
whatever
capacity
that
we
could.
T
Can
we
please
move
to
the
next
slide.
Thank
you.
So
again,
the
other
part
of
the
mandate
for
the
equity,
diversity
and
inclusion
advisory
committee
is
to
look
at
the
city
of
kingston
equity,
diversity
and
inclusion
profile
as
a
service
provider,
and
there
will
be
many
resources
to
support
with
that
regard.
So
again
will
be
the
other
municipalities
best
practices
for
sure,
but
also
there
is
that
you
know
undergoing
initiative
through
the
city
of
kingston
and
other
stakeholders
in
the
communities,
including
keys
k,
kip,
and
you
know,
members
of
the
community.
T
T
So
can
we
go
to
the
next
yeah
and
I
think
that's
basically
what
I've
just
said
so
again.
There
there,
hopefully,
will
be
some
conduction
of
focus
groups
with
representations
from
under
presented
communities
to
collect
data
and
access
to
city
services.
Invite
input
by
a
broader
representation
of
community
members
who
faces
systemic
barriers,
review
and
consider
current
institutional
practice
programs
objectives
through
an
equity
diversity
and
inclusion
lens,
actively
foster
greater
inclusion
of
unrepresented
groups
and
populations
in
kingston
review
best
practice
from
other
municipalities.
Thank
you.
So
much.
T
There
is,
there
is
one
more
slide
so
just
to
make
sure
that
actually
the
work
that
needs
to
be
be
done.
As
I,
as
I
have
mentioned,
there
are
lots
of
work
to
do
and
lots
of
coordination.
There
are
three
initiatives
undergoing
the
city
of
kingston.
There
are
lots
of
other
initiatives
within
the
community.
There
are
so
many
stakeholders
and
and
different
underrepresented
groups
that
need
to
be
getting
all
together
to
make
that
happen,
and,
of
course
it
needs
time
and
resources
and
and
and
someone
really
dedicated
to
coordinate
all
of
those.
T
So
I
think
it
makes
perfect
sense
that
we
are
hoping
to
have
a
dedicated
resource
to
help
lead
change
and
liaise
with
the
community
and
all
the
other
resources
and
initiatives
highlighted
earlier,
so
hopefully
that
there
will
be
a
creation
for
an
equity
diversity
and
inclusion
manager
position
within
the
city
of
kingston
to
take
the
lead
on
the
coordination
between
the
different
supports
between
the
different
initiatives
and
between
you
know,
the
different
representations
from
the
community
all
together.
Thank
you.
So
much.
A
D
Thank
you
and
thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation.
If
we
could
ask
the
clerks,
as
we
often
do,
to
share
the
slide
deck
with
council.
That
would
be
very
helpful.
I
think,
and
also-
and
I
know
this
has
come
up
before-
and
I've
been
on
nominations
committee
for
some
time,
but
if
we
can
ensure
that
all
applications
that
come
into
the
city
for
committees
or
anything
else,
have
an
opportunity
for
people
to
self-identify
as
an
equity-seeking
group,
or
I
think
that
would
be
very,
very
helpful
in
future.
So
thank
you
very
much.
T
No
thank
you
so
much
actually
for
the
request.
I
think
that
this
is
a
like.
This
is
a
great
thing
that
we
are
always
trying
to
have
data
on
different.
You
know
diverse,
like
people
who
are
coming
from
different
from
different
diversity
and
from
different
backgrounds.
However,
sometimes
people
are
not
very
comfortable
to
share
their
identities,
which
is
very
understandable
for
sure.
However,
there
are
many
many
ways
in
which
you
can
complete
this
data
whenever,
whereas,
where
that
noise,
from
my
background
by
any
chance,
I'm
sorry
there
was
like
a
noise,
I'm
not
sure.
T
J
Thank
you
and
through
you,
mr
mayor,
thanks
for
your
presentation,
syed,
I
just
want
to
talk.
I
just
want
to
get
your
feedback
and
thoughts
regarding
the
composition
of
the
group
because
it
mentions-
and
I
understand
the
importance
of
keeping
groups
advisory
groups
small
so
that
you
can,
you
know,
really
make
decisions.
It
gets
complicated
if
it's
too
large.
J
The
report
stated
and
your
presentation
as
well
that
there
would
be
up
to
five
community
members
and
from
underrepresented
groups
such
as,
and
then
there
were
eight
mentioned
and
I'm
sure
there
are
more
out
there
too.
So
how?
How
do
you
propose?
We
make
sure
nobody
feels
left
out
and
feels
like
they
are
part
of
the
table.
How
do
you
envision
that.
T
Right
yeah,
thank
you
so
much
for
the
question.
I
think
that
this
is
really
an
important
question.
One
of
the
things
that
I
can
definitely
share
in
regards
you
know
you
can
see
that
there
are
many
many
diverse
groups
that
are
highlighted
here.
However,
it's
only
up
to
five
people
which
are
not
covering
you
know,
even
the
the
the
diverse
groups
that
we
are
talking
about,
but
putting
into
consideration
that
there
are
lots
of
intersectionality
between
underrepresented
groups,
so
we
can
definitely
find
someone
who's
a
youth,
but
also
from
racialized
community
who's.
T
Also,
you
know
like
there
are
many
intersectionality
that
we
can
find
and
usually
we
find
within
the
community,
the
unrepresented
communities
that
could
help
a
little
bit,
and
I
think
that
that
would
kind
of
highlight
the
profile
of
people
who
would
like
to
you
know
be
members.
I
think
that
we
want
to
incorporate
as
much
as
possible
from
the
perspective,
and
this
is
something
that
we
can.
T
You
know
that
we
can
address
through
that
lens,
but
also,
I
think
it's
yeah
I
to
be
honest
and
the
shorter
things
things
might
change
in
the
show.
In
the
medium
term
and
the
long
term-
and
you
know
if,
if
committee
would
build
that
momentum,
maybe
we
would
open
up
the
membership
down
the
road
to
more
people
to
be
representing.
T
H
Thank
you
and
thanks
very
much
for
the
presentation
and
for
all
your
work
on
this
important
initiative.
The
okay.
So
a
couple
questions
regarding
the
anti-racism
community
working
group,
its
role
in
composition.
So
most
of
the
focus
is
on
the
edi
advisory
committee,
which
I
understand,
but
the
I'm
curious.
H
So
if
the
report
mentions-
and
this
might
have
to
go
to
someone
other
than
you
apologize
if
that
does
get
if
it
gets
awkward,
but
the
the
report
references
that
the
anti-racism
committee
working
group,
the
founding
membership,
that
it
was
led
by
kip
but
there's
a
lot
of
representation
from
keys.
So
I'm
just
wondering
if
you
could
maybe
explain
the
relationship
there.
T
T
H
Great
okay
and
so
then
the
the
the
in
your
slides
in
your
presentation
towards
the
end.
It
shows
that
there's
a
role
for
this
working
group
in
the
future
and
the
report
references
it
will
it's
its
purpose
will
be
reviewed
after
two
years.
I
think
or
something
like
that,
and
I
was
just
curious-
is
it?
Do
you
see
it
as
being?
Will
that
will
that
composition
be
maintained
over
the
two-year
period,
so
that
that
that
advisor
group
or
committee
is
not
changing?
H
T
Right,
thank
you
so
much
for
the
question.
So
there
are
two
things
or
three
things
actually
that
I
would
like
to
mention
here.
Just
you
know
going
back
a
little
bit
for
the
first
question
and
about
you
know
the
representation
of
keys
and
the
relationship
between
keys
and
kip.
I
just
wanna.
You
know
clarify
that
these
representations
that
you
were
mentioning
is
about
the
founding
group
for
that
committee,
so
that
committee
hasn't
been
formed
yet
right.
T
So
it's
the
founding
committee,
that's
trying
to
establish
that
committee
and
putting
in
some
terms
of
reference
and
mandates
and
then
hopefully
will
create
the
anti-racism
working
group
that
would
incorporate
all
the
other.
You
know,
stakeholders
and
you
know,
people
from
the
under
present
communities.
T
That's
that's
something
that
I
wanted
to
clarify
in
regards
to.
You
know
the
composition
of
that
group.
Again
you
you
might
see
that
there
is
a
a
very
like
a
very
huge
similarity
between
the
composition
of
the
inclusion
advisory
group
that
we
are
trying
to
talk
about
today
and
between
the
anti-racism
working
groups.
Just
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
all
voices
are
integrated,
so
you
would
see
in
the
composition
of
the
anti-racist
working
group
that
we
are
trying
and
it's
not
a
finalized
list
by
the
way
we
are
still
working
on
that.
T
So
still,
the
founding
committee
is
working
on
the
mandate
in
the
terms
of
reference,
and
it's
not
done
yet.
However,
the
early
version
would
be
very
similar
to
the
composition
of
the
edi
advisory
committee
that
we
are
talking
about
tonight,
except
for
the
city
council
representation,
so
it
would
have,
you
know,
representations
from
other
stakeholders
in
the
communities,
other
community
agencies,
other
other.
A
I
Chapelle,
yes,
thank
you
through
your
worship
with
regards
to
this
report,
it's
calling
for
an
allocation
90
000
from
the
working
capital
reserve
fund.
So
my
question
is
really
the
staff.
If
this
was
on
the
radar
coming
forward,
we
support
it
in
june.
Why
isn't
that
90,
000
out
of
a
separate
staff
budget,
and
rather
than
the
perpetual
cookie
jar
of
the
working
reserve
fund.
U
I
U
Thank
you
and
through
you,
mr
mayor,
so
we
we
do
have
a
number
of
positions
within
the
corporation
that
have
the
title
of
manager,
but
don't
necessarily
have
staff,
so
it
depends
on
the
portfolio.
This
is
a
pretty
significant
portfolio
and
when
looking
at
other
municipalities
and
best
practices,
most
of
them
were
either
manager
or
director
level.
I
think
it's
important
that
that
this
position
does
have
some
level
of
authority
to
be
able
to
move
forward
with
initiatives
within
the
corporation
and
with
the
community.
I
Now,
coupled
to
with
this
position,
we
still
haven't
hired
a
position
for
an
indigenous
person
in
the
culture
realm,
with
regards
to
helping
with
the
with
the
work
that
we
have
with
other
consultants
working
on.
So
could
this
potentially
be
a
combined
position
with
an
indigenous
representative
holding
this
position
as
a
member
of
a
marginalized
group
going
forward,
and
then
that
could
have
that
same
sort
of
rule
over
a
bigger
portfolio
of
looking
at
culture,
as
well
as
improving
the
inclusion
and
diversity
within
the
city
itself.
U
U
I
H
Is
it
possible
that
staff
will
be
receiving
edi
training
in
the
near
term
or
would
that
need
to
come
from
a
or
sorry
did
I
say
staff
I
meant
council
would
be
receiving
the
same
type
of
training
that
the
corporate
the
corporation
would
receive,
that
staff
would
receive,
or
would
that
have
to
come
as
a
recommendation
from
one
of
the
groups?
That's
being.
A
H
H
Often
they
don't
tell
us
at
what
we
should
be
doing
or
what
we
need
to
do,
and
so
it
behooves
us
to
know
what
is
required
to
be
ant
actively
anti-racist
and
to
include
diversity
and
inclusion
in
everything
that
we
do
as
a
council,
and
so
I
definitely
want
to
see
that
there
is
training
that
is,
that
is
mandatory.
That
all
of
council
participates
in
we've,
had
training
in
the
past
and
not
all
of
council
has
attended
that.
H
A
D
D
D
A
V
This
level
of
engagement
with
us
in
this
company
we've
worked
with
before
they
actually
conduct
annual
municipal
salary
surveys,
so
they're,
coming
already
with
a
fair
amount
of
internal
intelligence
and
that's
helping
to
keep
the
cost
down
lower,
but
we
do
need
require
them
to
review
all
those
170
positions.
So
when
you
put
in
that
that
perspective,
hopefully
that
provides
a
little
better
sense
of
of
the
value
that
that
they're
coming
with
and
that
they
have
for
us.
V
V
V
I
Thank
you
for
your
worship.
I'm
really
perplexed
by
this
actual
proposal
within
the
within
the
council
minutes
tonight,
because
we
had
a
meeting
in
camera
about
human
resource
issues
not
too
long
ago.
This
was
not
discussed.
This
has
not
given
us
an
opportunity
to
even
consider
it.
We
have
a
human
resources
team
that
hire
people
at
the
city
of
kingston
and,
if
you're
telling
me
that
we
don't
have
up-to-date
job
descriptions
for
each
one
of
those
individual
positions,
I'm
absolutely
flabbergasted
and
the
whole
concept
of
actually
sole
sourcing.
I
This
multi-
this
is
a
very
expensive
contract,
is
ridiculous.
Considering
we
just
finished
our
budget
recently,
and
so
I
have
to
strongly
oppose
this.
I'm
absolutely
taken
aback
by
it
and
I
think
it's
an
affront
on
city
council
to
suggest
that
we
need
to
do
this,
so
I
will
definitely
not
be
supporting
this
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
all
the
consultants
gonna
say
is
you
need
to
raise
your
rates
and
pay
more.
P
P
V
V
O
V
So
there
this
came
out,
and
it
was
noted
in
the
closed
session
report
as
a
outcome
of
the
difficulties
that
we
have
been
experiencing
with
hiring
and
retaining
staff.
So
the
idea
behind
this-
that
was
the
catalyst
as
it
were,
and
for
for
this
excuse
me
was
to
determine
whether
or
not
our
compensation
packages
are
competitive
in
the
marketplace.
Are
they
aligned
with
the
marketplace?
V
It
wasn't
intended
to
address
counselor
salaries
per
se.
That
is
something
I
know
that
every
term
that
happens
through
committee
and
was
last
done,
I
believe
in
2017,
where
they
were
assessed
and
that
would
have
to
come
from
council.
But
right
now,
that's
the
process.
That's
in
place.
I
think
the
city
clerk
could
probably
provide
a
bit
more
information
regarding
that.
S
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
commissioners,
correct
annually,
I
guess
a
year
before
the
end
of
the
term,
we
set
up
a
citizen
committee
to
view
the
council
remuneration
and
at
that
point
we
take
a
look
at
our
counselors,
their
salaries,
their
benefits,
the
amount
of
work
that
they
do,
and
we
also
do
comparison
with
our
competitors
and
then
report
is
provided
to
council
prior
to
election,
which
then
outlines
what
remuneration
rate
will
be.
So
we
do
have
a
process
in
place.
W
Thank
you
for
your
worship,
just
a
couple
things
I
was
reading
in
the
on
the
weekend
in
the
globe:
mail
that
there's
a
growing
once
again,
a
growing
disparity
amount
paid
for
men
and
women
in
the
workplace,
gender
disparity.
So
I
would
assume,
mr
joyce,
that
this
would
incorporate
looking
at
where
those
disparities
have
kind
of
emerged
in
the
in
in
our
pay
structure
in
the
city
as
well.
W
W
So
so
one
of
the
things
that
you
know-
and
I
know
a
study
that,
like
this,
that
cost
120
000
seems
like
an
expensive
proposition,
but
but
my
understanding
is
that
in
reality,
what
what
happens
is
you
you
right-size
your?
You
know
your
compensation
packages,
which
means
that
you
spend
a
lot
less
time
in
terms
of
recruitment
in
terms
of
sort
of
mishandling.
I
guess
compensation
levels
that
ends
up
costing
a
lot
of
money
down
the
road.
W
V
Certainly
that
is
one
outcome
that
can
arise.
If
you
have.
You
know,
if
you
have
a
compensation
package
for
a
certain
position
that
is
much
lower
than
what
the
market
is
currently
demanding,
you're
going
to
have
trouble
filling
that
position
and
then
you
may
have
to
you
may
resort
to
hiring
headhunter
firms
like
to
to
do
that.
If
you've
got
them
right,
sized
and
you're
competitive
and
you're
able
to
attract
those
applicants
just
by
posting,
then
you
would
save
those
those
monies.
C
I
hear
worshiping
through
you.
Thank
you
voice.
I
guess
in
my
mind,
I'm
just
thinking
that
perhaps,
although
there's
an
expense
to
it,
the
outside
perspective
won't
actually
happen,
and
it's
going
to
follow
up
a
little
bit
on
what
councilor
hill
said.
But
kingston
obviously
is
a
little
bit
of
a
well.
We
are
a
medium-sized
city
we're
located
between.
You
know
toronto.
Montreal
ottawa
have
we
experienced,
I
guess
talent,
loss
or,
I
guess
talent,
poaching.
C
If,
if
you
will
in
that
sense,
I
know
in
the
six
years
that
I've
been
on
council
there's
been
talk
of.
You
know,
kingston's
a
great
place.
People
get
started
here,
and
you
know
after
four
or
five
years
they
get
pretty
good
at
what
they're
doing
and
and
then
they
sort
of
take
off
to,
I
guess
greener
pastures
or
larger
cities.
If
you
will
is
that
something
that
seems
to
be
occurring
so
are
we
are
we
almost
at
training
grounds
and
part
of
the
problem?
C
V
C
I
guess
in
some
positions,
perhaps
it
has
happened.
I
guess,
if
you
could
say
off
offhand
like
for
for
some
of
the
higher
level
positions,
how
long
would
it
take
before
a
person
like
what's
the
learning
curve,
if
you
were
to
talk
about
a
manager
or
directors?
Is
it
four
or
five
years
before
they're
kind
of
you
know
really
competent
comfortable
in
their
position
and
kind
of
really
starting
to
find
where
the
efficiencies
and
everything
are?
Is
that
where
you'd
would
that
be
a
fair
assessment.
V
C
Ideally
you're
looking
for
retention
beyond
that,
then
to
really
gain
benefits
from
a
position,
okay.
Other
than
that.
As
far
as
why
this
review
is
necessary,
is
it
is
it
going
to
look
beyond?
Just
simply,
is
it
going
to
look
at
other
incentives
as
well,
for
instance,
why
people
may
choose
to
to
leave
kingston
after
being
here
or
why
we
maybe
had
difficulty
in
certain
uncertainties?
Is
it
gonna
broaden
the
scope,
be
beyond
just
pure
wages?
It's
gonna
look
at
all
the
other
factors
too,
in
retaining
and
attracting
talent.
V
V
So
the
idea
behind
this
is
it
becomes
a
bit
of
a
stepping
point
for
staff
to
assess
that
complete
package
to
make
sure
that
we're
offering
as
much
as
we
possibly
can
you
just
you
know
not
only
from
a
pure
monetary
perspective
but
from
other
perspectives
as
well
like
the
quality
of
life
here,
those
kind
of
things
to
bring
those
into
our
compensation
package
and
our
recruitment
practices,
which
we
do
to
to
a
great
extent
now.
But
the
question
is:
is
there
more
that
we
can
actually
do
in
that
regard?.
V
F
Yep
excuse
me
thank
you,
mayor
patterson,
and
I
do
appreciate
this
report
and
I
do
I
will
support
this,
as
I
think
that
this
is
a
very
important
time
for
us
to
do
that
that
look
and
I'm
somewhat
familiar
with
this
company.
I
know
that
they
they
can
handle
this
task,
and
I
my
questions
were
related
to
the
deeper,
deeper
things
beyond
just
salary.
So
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
it's
a
broader
view.
F
Looking
at
work,
life
balance
as
counselor
bowman
said,
and
I
appreciated
counselor
hill's
comments
too.
It
does.
It
does
more
than
one
thing,
and
so
I
like
this,
and
I
think
the
time
is
right
and
there
will
be
there
will
be
considerable
benefits
for
the
city
and
for
the
for
the
management
team.
I
think
in
this,
so
I
would
support
it.
Thank
you.
E
X
E
I
have
to
say
that
sounds
pretty
darn
reasonable
to
me.
Considering
all
the
other
aspects
that
they're
going
to
do,
there's
one
reference
in
the
list
of
jobs,
they're
going
to
do
with
the
argument,
internal
hierarchy.
Confirmation,
I
believe,
is
the
term.
I
can't
read
it
because
I'm
looking
at
you
the
so
I
was
wondering
what
that
actually
is.
A
I
A
C
C
U
So
this
year,
before
we
initiated
this
process,
we
have
been
working
with
the
downtown
dbia,
as
well
as
tourism
kingston,
to
make
sure
that
first
of
all,
we
had
a
group
of
staff
working
collectively,
but
second,
that
the
downtown
dbia
would
be
the
link
between
the
city
and
the
businesses.
Because,
really
that's
you
know,
businesses
pay
their
fees
to
the
dbin.
We
recognize
that
and
they
have
a
role
in
supporting
and
representing
the
business
interests.
So
we
have
done
that
and
the
dbi
is
actually
hired
in
partnership
with
tourism.
U
Kingston,
a
resource
dedicated
to
do
exactly
just
that,
reach
out
to
the
businesses
and
consult
with
them.
Now,
I'm
also
going
to
be
frank
and
tell
you
that
not
every
single
business
is
happy
with
the
outcome
and
I
think
that
would
probably
be
impossible
to
achieve
considering
that
businesses
have
different
needs,
but
I
I
do
know
that
they
have
done
outreach
and
they
have
been
the
link
and
we
have
been
putting
together
a
recommendation
to
council
based
on
their
recommendations.
So
the
dbi
is
recommendation
following
their
consultation
with
their
businesses.
C
D
Thank
you
and
cao
hurdle.
Will
this
will
echo
what
I've
spoken
about
before?
I
know
the
bia
is
well
organized.
I
know
that
they
have
a
lot
of
influence
in
their
lobbying,
but
please,
let's
make
sure
that
if
there's
parking
allowances
in
the
bia
area
that
it
goes
beyond
division,
street
and
businesses
along
upper
princess
received
some
of
the
same
consideration
or
in
portsmouth
district
or
other
business
areas.
D
U
So
we
recognize
that,
obviously,
depending
on
where
businesses
are
located,
they
may
not
necessarily
be
located
right
next
to
an
area
where
there's
there's
on-street
parking,
they
may
be
located
in
a
plaza,
for
example,
and
they
wish
to
expand
on
their
patio.
So
we
have
worked
with
all
of
those
businesses
in
the
last
year
and
will
continue
to
do
that.
U
Absolutely
as
far
as
other
businesses
are
concerned,
if
they're
not
located
in
the
the
downtown
area
and
would
like
and
do
not
have
the
space
to
expand,
I
mean
we
would
like
definitely
to
have
a
conversation
with
them
to
see
how
we
can
support
them.
I
do
want
to
indicate
for
this
year
the
the
dbia
is
going
to
be
covering
the
costs
related
to
the
love,
kingston
marketplace
and
the
closures
that
are
required,
though
so
the
the
barriers
to
expand
the
patio.
X
Thank
you.
So
it's
interesting
that
it's
the
dbia
who's
the
link
to
you.
I've
heard
from
a
few
that
they
don't
feel
that
they're
always
as
consulted
as
they
would
like
to
be,
and
in
that
light
one
particular
business
that
has
reached
out
to
me.
Gino's
barbershop
would
like
that
you
don't
take
away
their
parking
spots.
They
claim
that
they
have
tried
to
make
that
clear.
X
E
A
K
U
E
Y
Thank
you
and
through
your
worship.
Thank
you,
councillor,
hutchinson,
in
all
of
the
instances
where
we
have
requests
for
expanded
patios,
the
transportation
engineering
team
looks
at
the
information
block
by
block
and
is
able
to
plot
out
those
requests
in
some
instances,
as
you
pointed
out,
there
isn't
a
parking
lay
by
space
immediately
in
front
of
a
business,
and
so
they
they
are
required
to
occupy
an
adjacent
parking
space,
the
closest
to
them.
That
is
possible.
E
That's
not
really
the
problem.
Okay,
the
problem
is
that
there's
parking
spaces
in
front
of
both
businesses,
restaurant,
a
and
restaurant
b,
so
restaurant
a
didn't
want
the
the
space
okay,
but
they
objected
to
was
that
restaurant
b
was
allowed
to
take
over
that
space
in
front
of
them,
and
what
I
want
to
know
is:
if
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
that.
E
Z
Good
evening
and
thank
you
and
through
your
worship,
so
a
little
more
information
and
before
I
respond
to
the
counselor's
question
is
majority.
If
not
all
of
the
parking
spaces
in
lay-by
areas
that
were
occupied
last
year
were
expanded
patios
for
restaurants
and
businesses
that
already
had
a
permanent
patio
in
front
of
their
store
frontage.
So
there
were
so.
If
we
were
to
take
the
counselor's
direction
to
not
expand
in
front
of
a
storefront,
then
there
wouldn't
be
any
temporary
patios.
Z
So
we
are
trying
to
work
together
to
find
a
middle
ground
in
terms
of
an
expansion
of
those
patio
spaces
to
preserve
some
additional
parking
so
that
businesses
don't
overwhelm
their
adjacent
business
partners
and
neighbors,
but
there
are-
and
we
have
about
58
right
now-
anyways
temporary
patios
that
are
interested
in
lay
by
spaces
only.
We
anticipate
40
permanent
patio
operators.
Some
are
currently
in
place
now
through
the
winter,
although
just
getting
ramped
up
again,
so
there
will
be.
There
will
be
instances
that
you've
described.
E
Y
Thank
you,
and
through
your
worship,
I
so
the
director
of
transportation
can
can
join
this,
but
I
believe,
last
year,
as
part
of
the
project,
we
did
implement
a
number
of
spaces
that
included
bike
racks.
So
unfortunately,
there
were
some
expanded
patio
spaces
last
year
that
were
not
occupied
by
a
business,
and
so
we
saw
that
as
an
opportunity
to
implement
some
some
parking
spaces
for
bikes.
So
there
there
likely
is
an
opportunity
to
do
that
again.
This
year,
director
of
transportation.
We
want
to
add
to.
AA
This
thank
you
and
through
you,
your
worship,
I
think,
just
to
clarify.
I
think
that
the
question
spoke
to
secured
bicycle
parking,
so
the
parking
that
we
added
last
year
was
of
the
typical
on
street,
where
we
have
some
bike
racks
that
were
placed
in
the
on-street
spaces.
We've
not
looked
at
the
details
of
what
is
in
each
of
those
spaces.
Yet
as
as
mr
falwell
alluded
to,
though
the
ability
to
add
some
additional
bike
racks
standard
bike
racks
is
still
available
to
us.
AA
E
U
E
U
E
Q
U
Thank
you,
and
now
through
mr
mayor,
so
I'm
happy
if
any
of
my
colleagues
from
transportation
might
want
to
jump
in
as
I
anticipate
they
would
have
more
details
in
terms
of
what
the
jersey
barriers
will
be
utilized
for,
but
essentially
what
it
it
means
is
that
the
the
city
will
eventually
purchase
those
jersey,
barriers
and
utilize
them
for
various
projects.
The
city
may
have
whether
they're
temporary
closure
of
streets
that
we
might
want
to
do
in
the
future
or
other
types
of
projects
that
we
may
want
to
implement.
U
AB
Through
you,
mr
mayor,
and
thank
you
sorry
I
was
on
delay.
I
was
trying
to
find
my
hand
so
as
seo
colonel
has
indicated,
the
city
will
find
some
uses
for
these,
for
these
barriers.
There's
also
planters
themselves
that
are
being
incorporated
into
into
the
design
to
to
block
the
lay
bys,
and
we
anticipate
that
we
can
use
them
for
some
of
the
local
traffic
calming
initiatives
that
we
spoke
to
eit
about
last
week
in
terms
of
incorporating
some
of
the
quiet
street
concepts
into
traffic
calming
on
on
local
roads.
AB
E
I
Thank
you,
your
worship,
well
with
regards
to
the
patios
and
designs,
sometimes
they're
different
from
one
location
to
the
next.
Has
there
been
any
consultation
with
the
corrections
service,
canada
core
can
and
allowing
our
incarcerated
offenders
to
build
a
standard
platform
for
for
the
city
that
could
be
removable
and
then
stored
at
a
later
date
and
reused
on
a
regular
basis?
In
fact,
that's
a
thought.
Perhaps
we
can
be.
AB
And
through
you,
mr
mayor,
we
actually
have
not
taken
any
steps
to
consider
using
that
type
of
resource
to
assist
counselor
chappelle,
one
of
the
one
of
the
first
step
of
of
what
needs
to
happen
is,
as
I
mentioned
in
the
budget
presentation.
Is
we
we've
put
some
funding
aside
to
review
the
patio
bylaw
in
2021
and
to
take
a
look
at
ways
that
we
can
better
utilize,
some
of
that
right-of-way
space
in
the
future.
AB
AB
AB
We're
looking
at
options
such
as
city
of
ottawa
has
implemented
where,
where
they
build,
that
space
up
could
be
with
with
raised
platforms
and
then
and
then
shift
the
pedestrian
traffic
out
closer
to
the
travel
lane
and
have
your
patios
be
able
to
expand
but
still
connected
to
to
the
actual
building
space.
So
we're
looking
at
a
number
of
those
options
and
that
review
will
take
place
and
that
information
can
come
back
through
to
council
for
consideration
before
before.
I
I
raise
that
only
because
I
know
that
corcan
is
always
looking
for
innovative
ways
to
contribute
to
the
city
and
and
the
offenders
would
very
much
like
to
have
an
opportunity
to
beautify
the
city
of
kingston
so
that
they
can
enjoy
the
the
great
downtown
when
they're
released
on
april.
Or
what
have
you.
I
I
M
M
It
actually
happened
almost
50
years
ago
in
1972.,
I'm
not
sure
how
many
blocks
of
princess
were
closed,
but
the
at
least
the
last
two
or
three
blocks
down
to
ontario
street
of
princess
were
completely
closed
to
traffic
and
planters
and
barriers
were
used.
As
we're
discussing
tonight,
I
saw
a
reference
of
it
of
all
places
in
the
heritage.
M
You
know
the
little
heritage
room
at
city
hall.
When
I
was
on
the
heritage
committee,
there
was
a
book
there
that
that
had
a
poem
written
about
it.
I
I
think
I've
mentioned
this
before
maybe
at
eitp,
but
anyway
it's
not
it's.
You
know
we're
we're
talking
about
it
now
and
it's
it's
new
to
us
this
generation,
but
it
isn't.
M
M
M
It's
really
only
been
that
way
for
the
last,
maybe
70
75
years,
but
in
1972
the
there
was
an
attempt
to
to
repurpose
it
for
in
the
summer
months,
only
for
very
similar
purposes
as
what
we
love
kingston
marketplace
is
attempting
so
and-
and
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
in
general-
I
think
we
have
to
try
to
do
something
to
to
allow
more
vibrant
spaces
to
exist
in
our
downtown
it.
It
benefits
everyone.
M
However,
it's
the
execution
is,
is
paramount
and,
and
that's
what
we're
hearing
from
our
first
attempt
I'll
get
to
the
public
consultation
piece
at
the
end.
I
just
want
to
make
a
couple
quick
other
points,
so
secure
bike
parking,
as
was
suggested,
that
is
definitely
on
the
list
of
wishes,
wants
not
necessarily
need
needs.
M
What's
needed
is
bike
parking
period
to
any
kind,
and
I
know
some
people
don't
like
locking
their
bikes
to
a
bike
rack,
but
that
is
the
most
common
form
of
bike
parking
available
today
and
everybody
understands
it
and
has
a
lock
and
if
they
don't
want
the
bike
to
only
get
a
better,
lock
and
so
on.
I
I
really
think
we.
What
we
need
is
is
hundreds
more
of
those
spaces
spaces
for
regular
bikes
of
any
kind
to
to
park
the
the
the
kind
of
thing
that
they
have
in
europe.
M
That's
that's
the
next,
that's
another!
That's
when
we
evolve
to
to
a
more
more
of
a
bike
dependent
place
when
our
mode
share
is
up.
30
40
50
we're
nowhere
near
that,
that's
my
opinion
and
then,
as
far
as
the
what
councilor
hutchinson
was
saying
about
the
the
parking
spots
being
repurposed
for
patios
and
the
storefront
that
doesn't
want
a
patio.
M
M
So
but
there's
gonna
be
lots
of
ideas
to
this
effect
and
it
is
a
little
bit
like
herding
cats,
and
I
can
understand
why
staff
went
ahead
during
the
emergency
power
phase
without
consultation,
but
in
the
future,
because
we're
here
now
and
because
we've
heard
from
members
of
the
public
in
delegation
tonight
and
because
there'll
probably
be
a
lot
more
and
it
needs
to
happen
a
public
forum.
I
have
prepared
an
amendment
to
allow
that
to
happen.
It's
very
simple.
It's
just
asked
for
a
report
to
eitp.
A
A
M
Thanks
your
worship,
I
don't
think
I
need
to
speak
five
minutes
on
this.
It's
pretty
self-explanatory
when
it
came
up
during
the
at
the
end
of
the
emergency
declaration,
when
we
were
passing
that
motion
to
ratify
those
powers.
I
did
speak
up
about
this
about
how
it
was
unfortunate
that
we
hadn't
been
consulted
as
a
council
and
and
the
public
at
large
had
also
not
been
consulted,
and
now
there's
reports
also
that
members
of
the
dbia
didn't
feel
properly
consulted
either.
M
M
Hopefully
we
can
publicize
it
as
well,
it's
not
in
the
amendment,
but
it
it
goes
without
saying
that
you
know
we
should
probably
ask
for
input
in
this
in
this
fashion,
and
then
you
know
it's
all
on
video
and
in
the
minutes-
and
you
know,
staff
is
there
and
there's
questions
can
be
asked
of.
Staff
staff
has
a
chance
to
respond
to
the
questions
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
everyone
feels
included
and
whatever
direction
we
go
is
more
readily
accepted.
M
A
W
Thank
you,
your
worship
and
I
definitely
agree
with
some
of
the
things
that
council
stroud
said,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
going
forward.
You
know
getting
because
you
have
to
consider
what
we
were
going
through
last
year
when
this
was
being
implemented.
It
was
very
very
sudden
because
the
emergency
situation
demanded
kind
of
a
response
quickly.
W
We
have
had
some
time
now
to
kind
of
reassess
that
and-
and
I
think
going
forward-
you
know
hopefully-
and
I
think
this
is
sort
of
what
council
strata
is
alluding
to-
there
are
some
things
that
are
going
to
come
out
of
this-
that
we
may
want
to
make
permanent,
and
that
would
really
involve
you
know
soliciting
input
from
the
community
bringing
that
to
council.
You
know
a
lot,
there's
a
process
involved
in
that,
as
there
would
normally
be.
W
It
wasn't
the
responsibility,
although
I
know
the
city
staff
did
a
lot
of
consultation
with
lots
of
merchants
and
groups
down
there.
The
dbia
really,
in
my
estimation,
failed
to
in
that
task,
and-
and
I
I
know
that
one
of
the
things
that
the
board
has
asked
them
to
do
this
year-
that's
different
than
in
past-
is
to
keep
track
of
the
fact
that
those
consultations
have
happened
and
that
they
have
spoken
to
every
merchant
that
they've
got
input
in
this
council.
W
W
It
should
have
happened
with
every
single
merchant
and
and
the
fact
that
it
didn't
wasn't
larry
was.
I
think
I
think
that
falls
much
more
squarely
on
the
efforts
of
the
dbia
than
it
does
on
the
staff,
because
the
staff
had
an
anticipation
that
the
dbia
would
do
that
work
and
I
think,
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
including
you
know
how
over
overwhelmed
people
were.
There's
lots
of.
W
You
know
I'm
not
laying
the
blame
on
anyone,
but
it
just
that
work
did
not
get
done,
and
I
know
that
I've
spoken
to
a
number
of
of
merchants
who
felt
that
they
weren't
well
consulted
I'm
sure
most
counselors.
Have.
I
just
want
you
to
know
that.
I
think
folks
from
the
city
really
made
a
very
honest
effort
to
make
sure
that
that
happened.
W
J
Thank
you
and
mr
and
through
you,
mr
mayor,
I'd
like
to
actually
echo
what
counselor
hill
just
said.
Speaking
with
merchants
downtown,
I
actually
did
hear
quite
a
few
speak
about
that.
Their
concern
that
they
had
not
heard
from
the
dbia,
but
they
actually
had
heard
from
city
staff,
so
city
staff
were
definitely
out
there
speaking
with
merchants.
So
I'm
glad
you
did
correct
that
because
that
is
important.
But
when
counselor
start
put
the
amendment
forward,
I
didn't
read
it
as
a
criticism.
J
I
read
it
as
an
opportunity
to
learn
and
I'm
sure
this
will
be
like
the
first
review
that
we'll
do,
but
after
cover
there's
so
much
to
learn
going
forward
and
but
our
staff
and
and
jumped
into
into
high
gear
and
worked
incredibly
hard.
So
it's
definitely
not
incred
a
criticism
but
a
great
opportunity
to
learn
and
to
hear
from
the
public.
So
obviously
very
supportive
of
the
motion.
A
A
O
Thank
you,
mayor,
patterson
and
through
you
to
staff.
I
know
I've
asked
this
before
and
a
few
others
have
a.
What
has
a
I'm
we've
asked
this
before,
but
it's
worth
repeating,
I'm
wondering
about
the
way
in
which
the
city
can
encourage
or
compel
even
landlords,
to
pass
the
potential
relief
onto
tenants.
I
know
we're
talking
about
small
businesses
under
2
million
dollars,
but
still
there
are
a
number
of
situations
where
it
could
go
to
a
landlord,
but
it
wouldn't
actually
benefit
the
folks
renting
the
space,
in
other
words
the
actual
small
business.
AC
We
don't
have
any
legal
recourse
in
terms
of
forcing
a
landlord
to
pass
that
benefit
on.
However,
if
we
do
provide
the
deferral
and
then
find
out,
it
hasn't
been
passed
on,
which
I
expect
we
probably
would
hear
one
way
or
another.
We
do
have
the
ability,
then
to
reverse
the
deferral
and
make
the
taxes
payable.
So
in
that
regard
we
certainly
have
something
that
we
can
fall
back
on
to
ensure
that
that
that
eligibility
requirement
is
being
met.
O
AC
L
A
A
M
I
just
want
counsel
to
understand
the
motion,
because
if
you
read
it
through
it,
it's
easy
to
get
lost
so
and
it's
very
long
and
you
don't-
I
don't
don't
want
it
all
read.
It's
just
is
that
committee
for
a
while
it
was
deferred
a
couple
of
times.
There
was
an
amendment
at
our
penultimate
meeting
so
two
meetings
ago
of
administrative
policies.
There's
an
amendment,
that's
the
one
that
talks
about
section
6
to
19,
6-25
619-625
right!
That's
that's!
M
We
we
need
everybody's
voice
on
this,
and
the
only
way
to
do
that
is
in
committee
of
the
whole.
Some
of
the
aspects
might
not
be
controversial
and
we
might
all
agree
on
them
and
and
they'll
they
won't
take
up
much
time,
but
the
list
there
is
was
compiled
from
what
members
of
the
committee
had
had
brought
up
and
during
our
discussions
at
committee
and
basically
we
could
have.
We
could
have
made
amendments
on
all
of
them
at
committee,
but
then
it
would
have
come
here.
M
We
probably
would
have
had
to
start
the
discussion
again
as
the
council
as
a
whole,
because
because
of
the
importance
of
the
of
the
changes
and
and
how
they
affect
us,
things
like
you
know
we
need.
We
all
need
to
agree
that
on
what
rules
we're
going
to
use
for
deferral
motions,
because
we
haven't
agreed
in
the
past-
and
I
agree
that
we
need
to
set
the
ground
rules-
that's
what
the
bylaw
amendment
does.
M
But
we
haven't
discussed
it
as
a
as
a
council
of
and
the
majority
will
rule,
but
we
need
to
discuss
it.
So
that's,
basically
it
and
and
you'll
see
the
very
last
bullet.
The
very
last
paragraph
of
the
recommendation
basically
leaves
it
open
for
for
a
member
of
council
to
to
add
to
the
list
of
things
they
want
discussed,
but
it
doesn't
name.
M
It's
not
named
it's
just
it's
open
to
that
and
it
would
be
up
to
his
worship
to
to
run
that
meeting
and,
of
course
we
would.
We
would
be
expected
to
draft
if,
if
we
disagreed
with
the
draft
final
we'd
be
expected
to
draft
amendments.
So
there's
a
bit
of
work
involved.
If
you
disagree
with
what's
in
the
draft
by
law,
that's
about
all
I've
got
to
say
at
this
point
this
time.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
B
B
And
because
we
are
going
through
these
a
little
bit
out
of
order
from
what's
in
the
agenda,
I
will
read
them
out
before.
Mr
mayor
calls
the
vote
for
each
one.
So,
starting
with
paragraph
five,
the
council
approved
the
2021
general
municipal
operating
budget
finance
and
administration
chief
administrative
office,
strategic
initiatives
in
the
amount
of
two
hundred
and
twenty
nine
thousand
five
hundred
and
seventy
dollars.
Paragraph
six.
B
The
council
approved
the
2021
general
municipal
operating
budget
for
community
services,
long-term
care
in
the
amount
of
six
million
eleven
thousand
three
hundred
and
one
dollars
and
paragraph
with
me
just
a
moment,
paragraph
twelve-
that
council
approved
the
2021
municipal
capital
budget
for
long-term
care
and
facilities,
non-heritage
rideau
crest
home
in
the
amount
of
three
million.
Forty
three
thousand
two
hundred
and
forty
two
dollars
as
follows:
proposed
capital
expenditures,
three
million
forty
three
thousand
two
hundred
and
forty
two
general
financing.
B
This
will
be
paragraph
seven
and
eleven
paragraph
seven,
that
council
approved
the
2021
general
municipal
operating
budget
for
agencies
and
boards
kingston
access
services
in
the
amount
of
three
million
three
hundred
and
sixty
three
thousand
three
hundred
and
sixty
two
dollars,
paragraph
eleven.
That
council
approved
the
2021
municipal
capital
budget
for
kingston
access
services
in
the
amount
of
three
hundred
and
seventy
seven
thousand
three
hundred
as
follows:
proposed
capital
expenditures.
Three
hundred
and
seventy
seven
thousand
three
hundred
dollars
proposed.
B
B
I
Well,
the
point
of
order
was
that
you
were
going
to
go
to
the
vote
and
I
needed
to
speak
to
it.
So
how
many
more
years
are
we
committed
to
this
one
million
dollar
contribution,
because
this
is
coming
from
a
municipal
tax
levy,
supporting
something
that
the
province
should
be
supporting,
and
it
really
bothers
me
that
you
know
for
a
million
dollars
we're
putting
this
into
healthcare
where
the
province
should
be
stepping
up
to
the
plate,
and
so
how?
Many
more
years,
do
we
have
to
pay
for
this.
AC
I
A
B
Excuse
me,
paragraph
nine
that
any
variance
between
final
assessment
growth
and
the
growth
estimates
included
in
the
2021
general
municipal
operating
budget
be
transferred
to
funded
from
the
working
fund
reserve
to
offset
unanticipated
variances
in
assessment
growth
in
future
years.
As
a
stabilization
measure
in
paragraph
10,
that
council
approved
the
2021
municipal
capital
budget
as
follows:
proposed
capital
expenditures,
58
billion
seven
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
thirteen
dollars
financing.
B
General
municipal
reserve
funds
pay
as
you
go
thirty
five
million
ninety
four
thousand
eight
hundred
and
four
dollars
working
fund
reserve
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
government
grants
twenty
million
two
hundred
and
sixty
eight
thousand
six
hundred
and
ninety
two
dollars
contributions
from
others:
three
million
eighty
six
thousand
five
hundred
and
seventeen
dollars
total
financing.
Fifty
eight
million
seven
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
thirteen
dollars,
paragraph
13,
the
council,
received
the
following,
provided
as
part
of
the
budget
documentation,
15-year
capital
expenditure
forecast,
capital
works
in
progress
listing
as
of
november
30th
2020
and
municipal
reserve
fund
schedules.
B
I
Your
worship
I'd
like
to
separate
a
number
of
those
items
from
the
vote.
I
certainly
want
to
separate
the
operating
budget
from
the
capital
budget.
I'd
also
like
to
propose
an
amendment
that
the
operating
reserve
working
capital
reserve,
rather
than
simply
put
any
extra
money
into
the
working
capital
reserve,
which
we
found
was
a
cookie
jar
tonight
for
other
spending.
I
think
we
should
put
a
portion
of
that
towards
debt
reduction
directly.
A
I
Q
A
So,
okay,
first
of
all,
I
was
gonna
ask
for
a
second
or
before
any
of
the
secondary
right.
I
think
I
needed
in
writing
so
sponsorship.
Can
you
at
least,
can
you
just
at
least
enunciate
it
clearly
one
more
time,
then
I
will
ask
for
a
seconder
and
if
there's
a
second
year,
then
we'll
have
to
recess
until
you
can
grab
it
and
running.
So
everyone
can
see
it.
I
So
the
the
variance
that
applies
into
the
budget
from
when
we're
forecast
to
what
we
end
up
with
we
end
up
with
a
with
sometimes
an
over
contribution
from
the
assessed
value
of
properties
that
we
end
up.
Having
actually
so
understanding
that
the
premise
is
that
any
extra
revenue
goes
into
the
working
fund
reserve.
I
AC
AC
Because
then
we
know
exactly
what
the
growth
will
be.
So
while
we
left
this
in
here
this
year
for
just
in
case
there
were
any
variances,
I
do
not
anticipate
there
to
be
any
variance
between
what
we
projected
for
assessment
growth
and
what
the
actual
will
be
for
2021,
because
we
already
had
the
assessed
rule
back
prior
to
finalizing
the
budget
numbers.
So
we
won't
have
that
particular
variance
for
the
2021
budget.
I
I
A
Okay,
so
counselor
chappelle
has
requested
that
we
will
do
individual
votes
for
each
paragraph.
So
we
will
do
that.
So
I'm
going
to
ask
if
we
can
put
up
a
thing
up
on
the
screen.
People
can
have
a
look
at
the
paragraph
and
then
we'll
call
the
vote
and
then
we'll
move
to
the
next
paragraph
and
so
on.
Q
B
A
Okay,
so
the
only
thing
left,
then,
is
clause
5
from
the
report
from
committee
of
the
whole,
which
was
with
respect
to
the
additional
motion
on
options
to
reduce
the
cost
of
doing
business.
You
will
call
the
vote
all
those
in
favor
opposed
and
that's
cured,
okay,
so
moving
on
to
information
reports,
if
you
have
any
questions,
just
raise
your
hand
as
I
read
through
them
number
one
report
on
real
estate
transactions
completed
from
july
1st
2020
to
december
31st
2020
under
bylaw
number
2016-189.
A
Okay,
we
have
no
information
reports,
members
of
council
miscellaneous
business.
We
have
two
motions
number
one-
that
the
resignation
of
matthew
mccartney
from
heritage
kingston
be
received.
With
regret,
can
I
have
a
mover
and
a
second
or
please
move
by
counselor
osterhoff
seconded
by
councillor
chappelle,
all
those
in
favor
opposed,
and
that's
carried
the
number
two
that
the
resignation
of
chloe
got
in
jacques
from
the
municipal
accessibility
advisory
committee
be
received.
A
With
regret,
I
have
a
mover
and
a
secretary,
please
move
by
counselor
neil
seconded
by
council
return
all
those
in
favor
opposed
and
that's
current
okay
on
to
new
motions.
We
have
one
new
motion
this
evening,
moved
by
councillor
hill
seconded
by
cancer
bone
municipal
act,
2001
grants,
municipalities
in
ontario
the
power
to
create
and
oversee
business
improvement
areas
which
are
operated
by
a
board
of
management
for
the
purposes
of
promoting
the
district
as
a
business
or
shopping
area,
as
well
as
to
provide
enhanced
improvements
to
amenities
enjoyed
by
the
public
within
the
area.
A
And
whereas
the
powers
granted
to
municipalities
in
ontario
under
the
municipal
act,
2001
include
the
power
to
pass
bylaws
related
to
the
governance
structure,
financial
management,
accountability
and
transparency
processes
of
its
local
boards,
including
any
business
improvement
areas.
Whereas
after
initial
discussions
with
city
staff,
the
board
of
management
of
the
dbia
on
january
20th,
2021
past
a
resolution
to
request
the
assistance
of
city
staff
and
updating
of
the
dbia's
present
bylaws.
In
accordance
with
best
practices.
A
Therefore
be.
It
resolved.
The
council
of
the
city
of
kingston
direct,
the
acting
director
of
legal
services
to
provide
assistance
to
the
dbia
in
the
revision
of
present
bylaws.
With
the
further
assistance
of
such
municipal
staff
is
deemed
appropriate
and
that
the
acting
director
of
legal
services
report
back
to
council
no
later
than
the
end
of
q2
2021,
with
the
report
and
updated
bylaws
for
consideration
detailing
the
revisions
which
have
been
developed
by
the
dbia
and
city
staff
and
for
help,
you
have
the
floor.
W
Thank
you.
I
won't
be
long.
This
is
really
just
a
housekeeping
item.
The
if
you
look
at
clause
2,
the
only
bylaw
that
exists
was
the
one
that
was
created
in
1975,
which
provided
for
the
establishment
of
the
dbia
and
really
for
the
past
30
or
more
years.
The
dbia
was
under
the
directorship
of
of
mr
richie,
who,
as
you
know,
recently
retired
in
november,
and
that
that
retirement
is
sort
of
the
dbia
to
look
at
a
number
of
things.
W
They're,
looking
they're
reviewing
their
policies
and
procedures
in
general,
but
one
of
the
things
that
was
clearly
hadn't
been
addressed
and
hadn't
been
looked
at
in
a
long
time
was
the
was
the
actual
bylaw
that
is
actually
controlled
by
the
by
the
city
of
kingston
and
this
council.
So
what
it
is
looking
to
do
is
is
found
in
the
third,
whereas
clause
which
is
to
implement
into
the
bylaws
governance
structure,
financial
management,
accountability
and
transparency
processes.
W
Q
W
It's
they
requested
it
as
a
motion
at
the
dbia
and
the
city
has
been
very
involved,
obviously
in
assisting
the
the
dbia,
with
a
number
of
their
initiatives,
around
governance,
around
accountability
and
policies
and
procedures,
and
we
work
very
closely
with
them.
In
any
event,
so
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense
that
mr
mcleod
be
involved
in
this
process
and
they've
requested
that
and-
and
I
think
it's
a
necessary
step
for
us
in
our
relationship
with
with
the
dbia,
so
I
recommend
its
approval.
I
Thank
you,
your
worship.
Thank
your
worship.
My
question
really
relates
to
the
fact
that,
obviously
you
know
mr
mccloud's
time
has
does
not
come
free.
There's
a
premium
to
be
paid,
I'm
wondering
if
the
dba
is
going
to
pay
for
his
time
and
the
services
required
to
graft
these
new
bylaws
or,
if
that
was
contemplated
at
all.
A
U
Thank
you
and
through
mr
mayor,
so
we
we
do,
reviews
of
of
our
bylaws
or
even
our
agreements.
For
example,
we
have
a
number
of
agreements
with
organizations
like
tourism,
kingston,
kingston
economic
development,
so
we
do
regular
review
of
those
and
we
don't
actually
charge,
obviously
the
entity,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
because
there
is
a
relationship
between
that
organization
and
the
city,
so
it
is
to
our
benefit
as
well.
To
do
these
reviews
regularly
this
one
as
councillor
hill
indicated
was
done.
W
M
M
M
I
mean
everything
else
we
do
five-year,
you
know,
updates
and
so
on.
So
is
there?
My
question
is
to
staff:
is
there
a
process
in
place
for
our
external
agencies
that
are
set
up
the
same
as
dbio
or
or
otherwise
in
which
we
may
need
to
be
doing
bylaw
reviews,
and
can
we
anticipate
this
rather
than
waiting
for
it
to
be
brought
up
in
this
manner?.
K
U
Thank
you
and
through
mr
mayor
mr
mccloud
may
want
to
add
to
this,
but
dbia
is
one
of
the
few
where
we
actually
have
a
city
bylaw
established
to
to
help
with
some
of
the
governance
there
and,
to
be
honest
with
you,
council
stroud
there
were.
There
was
a
review
done
a
number
of
years
ago
of
of
most
of
the
organization
agencies
with
which
we
have
working
relationships,
so
whether
that's
town,
homes
kingston
at
the
time,
kingston
frank
housing
corporation.
So
there
was
a
complete
review
done.
