E
A
A
So
earlier
this
evening
we
had
a
reception
in
Memorial
Hall
to
first
of
all,
say
thank
you.
Thank
you
to
all
of
the
citizens
that
have
devoted
so
much
of
their
time
and
energy
over
the
last
number
of
years
to
be
able
to
contribute
to
the
business
that
we
do
around
this
table
to
be
able
to
provide
advice,
whether
that's
through
citizen
advisory
committee
or
serving
on
a
number
of
different
local
boards.
A
So
we
have
a
number
of
individuals
here
tonight
that
we
would
like
to
recognize
specifically
for
the
length
of
their
service
and
dedication
to
city
committees
and
boards.
So
I'm
gonna
ask:
is
this
I
call
your
name?
If
you
can
come
up,
we
have
a
little
a
plaque
for
you,
and
then
we
just
ask
if
you
just
want
to
remain
standing
up
at
the
front
and
then
once
all
of
us
are
up
here,
we
just
like
to
take
a
group
photo.
So
our
first
recipient
tonight
is
Barbara
Aitken
from
the
Kingston
Franek
Public
Library
board.
A
Okay,
so
moving
on,
we
have
two
delegations
this
evening.
First
Meghan,
not
executive
director
of
the
Kingston
accommodation
partners
and
Murray
Matheson
interim
executive
director
of
tourism.
Kingston
will
appear
before
council
to
speak
to
Klaus,
to
report
number
91
received
from
the
administrative
policies
committee
with
respect
to
the
residential
rental
licensing
and
just
a
reminder
to
our
delegations
that
you
have
five
minutes.
Oh.
F
Yeah
super.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mary
Patterson,
Thank
You
counsel,
so
my
name
is
Megan
Knight
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
Kingston
accommodation
partners,
Maria
Mathison,
who
also
represents
tourism
Kingston
for
the
time
being
couldn't
be
here
tonight,
but
I
know
we
speak
in
unison,
towards
the
support
of
a
licensing
program
for
short-term
rentals.
The
reason
that
we
do
this
as
industry
partners
is
that
we're
working
quite
closely
with
the
hotel
Association
of
Canada
on
regulatory
tools,
if
you
will
to
modernize
short
term
rental
accommodations
and
actually
put
forward
several
reports.
F
That
type
of
thing
that
it's
really
important
to
know
that,
from
a
hotel's
perspective,
we
really
emphasize
and
educate
our
staff
and
our
teams
about
things
like
human
trafficking,
which
is
a
huge
issue
within
hotels
and
other
accommodators
and
is
slowly
moving
or
creeping
into
the
shared
accommodation
space
where
there
is
really
no
safeguarding
or
no
training
for
those
that
own
these
type
of
properties.
And
so
we
just
want
to
flag
that.
That
issue
is
very
predominant,
especially
because
we're
on
a
401,
Corridor
and
so
often
times.
We
deal
with
these
type
of
red
flags.
F
So
this
is
something
we'd
like
to
work
with
in
terms
of
having
some
regulatory
tools
around
this
we'd
really
like
to
share
data
and
Taxation.
So,
as
you
all
know,
the
municipal
accommodation
tax
came
into
play
this
past
August
in
Kingston.
In
other
municipalities
like
Ottawa,
for
example,
when
their
regulatory
space
came
in
with
shared
accommodators.
They
also
brought
in
the
mat
tax
and
so
we'd,
be
in
full
support
of
asking
that
the
mat
tax
be
applied
to
the
shared
accommodator
space,
as
it
is
the
hotel
industry
and
so
I
think.
F
G
You
worship,
thank
you,
it's
not
so
regarding
the
tax,
and
that
was
fairly
recent
I.
Remember
that
fairly
clearly.
Is
it
true,
then,
if
we
don't
do
something
like
this
to
be
able
to
capture
the
Airbnb
type
accommodation
providers
and
be
able
to
collect
that
4%
mat
tax
from
them
through
this
method?
Is
it
true
that
they
would
have
an
unfair,
although
a
competitive
advantage
in
the
ways
that
they
overlap
with
the
traditional
accommodation
that
your
organization
provides
and
what
other
ramifications
would
there
be
among.
F
Others,
yes,
but
it
the
regulatory
issues,
also
that
you
know
things
like
fire
alarms
and
things
like
security
measures
that
are
in
spaces.
Things
like
taxation
in
terms
of
properties
like
I,
think
there
are
a
few
things
that
probably
need
to
be
addressed
in
terms
of
what
a
standalone
traditional
hotel,
space
or
B&B
or
an
inn.
You
know
sort
of
go
through
in
terms
of
creating
safe
spaces
for
guests
and
then
what
a
shared
accommodator
doesn't
go
through.
Currently
so
I
think,
there's
a
few
topics
of
discussion,
not
just
a
municipal
tax
and.
G
F
I
think
that
the
destination,
so,
if
you're,
offering
a
stay,
no
matter
if
you're,
a
traditional
or
non-traditional
stay
you're
benefiting
from
I,
think
the
work
that
the
destination
does
in
terms
of
the
sales
force
that
Tourism
Kingston
has
or
the
marketing
that
cap
supports.
I
mean
absolutely
friends
and
family,
though,
are
key
and
utmost
and
I
think
the
collection
of
who
comes
into
the
city
and
so
I
think
there's
a
shared
I
guess
conversation
between
city
residents
that
asked
people
to
come
and
experience
the
destination
in
us.
D
You
rich
through
you
just
to
kind
of
build
on
some
of
those
comments.
I'm,
never
really
a
big
fan
of
taxes.
To
begin
with.
I
know
we
have
to
have
mean
we
have
to
pay
for
them,
but
adding
this
tax.
Could
you
paint
a
picture?
I
guess
a
little
bit
more
about
how
having
this
tax
actually
leverages
money
from
other
people
coming
in
and
kind
of
combines
all
this
so
that
people
actually
see
Kingston
as
a
destination,
so
it
so.
A
D
D
A
Other
questions
to
do
with
this
particular
okay.
Thank
you.
So
it's
not
well.
Have
you
stay
here,
because
you're
also
listed
as
the
second
delegation,
you
will
also
be
joining
the
Alex
Jensen
film
officer
from
tourism
Kingston
to
appear
before
Council,
to
speak
to
Clause
3
of
report
number
94
C
from
the
CEO,
with
respect
to
the
Kingston
Penitentiary
tours
2019.
F
H
So
yeah,
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time,
mayor,
Paterson
and
for
the
members
of
council.
I'm,
just
gonna
give
a
quick
update
on
where
things
are
at
with
the
Kingston
film
office,
which
was
formed
earlier
this
year,
I
talked
a
little
bit
about
what's
happening
within
the
province
and
then
speak
to
the
opportunities
that
the
presented
themselves
with
the
Kingston
Penitentiary.
H
So
for
those
of
you,
I
haven't
met
I'm
new
to
the
role
since
started
this
year,
but
I
have
long-standing
relationship
with
Kingston
and
having
studied
as
a
student
at
Queen's
in
the
film
program
originally
ran.
The
screening
room
started
the
Kingston,
Canadian
Film
Festival
and
then
in
the
over.
The
last
ten
years
have
started
to
inch
my
way
back
while
running
a
production
company
out
of
Toronto
and
then
now
teaching
the
last
seven
years
of
Queens.
So
the
lot
of
a
lot
of
relationships
and
really
vested
into
seeing
Kingston's
potential
as
a
film
destination.
H
So
that's
been
on
the
provincial
side.
It's
been
a
record
year.
2017
2018
will
be
the
same
record
year
for
production,
250,
major
productions,
major
film
and
television
1.6
billion
spent
in
Ontario.
That's
on
film
and
television
alone,
not
into
commercial
productions
for
commercials
or
into
the
overall
interactive
digital
media
sector.
That's
looking
at
32,000
800
jobs
created
and
on
track
for
a
1
million
in
square
footage
of
stage
space.
That's
going
to
be
purpose-built
for
within
the
province
of
Ontario
by
2022.
H
Further
to
that,
Netflix
has
committed
500
million
into
original
production
over
over
the
next
over
the
next
year.
Sorry,
over
the
next
5
years
and
CBS
has
also
announced
that
they'll
be
moving
stage
space
with
a
26
thousand
square
foot
facility
into
the
Toronto
area
locally
in
Kingston.
What
we've
been
doing?
We've
been
really
building
up
the
infrastructure
for
how
we
can
support
production
as
it
comes
in
so
a
combination
of
supporting
the
local
production
community
and
developing
the
infrastructure
to
attract
film
and
television
production.
H
A
lot
of
that
has
been
basically
inventory
in
the
area:
shooting
50,
50
plus
locations
that
have
all
gone
into
the
provincial
database,
where
Scouts
and
producers
will
start
searching.
We've
had
20
plus
Scout
tours
from
people's
Star
Trek
Discovery
Handmaid's
Tale
Shadowhunters
a
whole
series
of
different
top
Scouts
into
the
area
in
May.
We'll
have
another
one.
Coming
up
early
in
the
next
few
months,
50
plus
productions
of
different
different
variety
within
within
the
Kingston
area
streamline
the
permitting
process
the
deal
for
City
properties
we're
turning
permits
on
a
24
to
48
hour
period.
H
We
started
developing
training,
exercises
and
employment
opportunities
for
local
production
companies
and
to
start
to
develop
that
crew
base.
We've
been
doing
monthly
industry
workshops
in
partnership
with
Queens,
film
and
media,
and
we
started
announcing
to
larger
industry.
We
did
a
big
reception
into
Toronto
to
350
alumni
and
Industry
from
Queens
film
and
media
in
the
broader
industry
in
April,
and
then
we
did
whole
series
of
initiatives
during
the
Toronto
International
Film
Festival.
H
This
September
speaking
to
Kingston
Penitentiary,
there's
been
quite
a
bit
of
quite
a
bit
of
demand,
but
for
various
reasons
and
I
think
there's
ways
that
we
can
make
it
more
attractive
and
some
of
these
productions
have
have
been
unable
to
shoot
and
I
think.
This
is
where
we
have
a
real
opportunity
to
streamline
what
we
do
with
the
tours
and
opening
up
Kingston
Penn
for
production,
some
of
the
productions
that
were
quite
interested
but
we're
unable
to
to
shoot
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
H
Suicide
Squad
was
interested
in
shooting
hair
Castlerock
was
very
interested
in
doing
a
two
to
three
weeks:
shoot
which
included
all
the
shawshank
sequences
shot
right
here
in
Kingston
a
lot
of
the
time.
We
can't
announce
what
the
productions
are
because
they
haven't
been
disclosed
yet,
but
HBO
has
a
large-scale
series.
That's
gonna
be
filling
one
of
the
Game
of
Thrones
slots
when,
when
that,
when
that
ends
at
they
were
skating
for
Warner,
Brothers
also
has
another
and
production
that
they
were
quite
interested
in
and
we
work
closely
with
the
Ontario
Film
Commission.
H
So
to
that
end,
the
report
is
that
there
was
more
than
40
inquiries
on
to
Kingston
Penn,
just
in
the
last
calendar
year.
So
speaking
to
if
we
were
to
have
more
production
here,
some
of
the
opportunities
so
based
on
guidelines
from
infrastructure
Ontario
or
from
the
Ontario
Film
Commission
you'd,
be
looking
at
the
range
of
five
to
seven
thousand
per
day.
For
for
shooting
a
typical
shoot
would
be
usually
two
to
three
weeks
depending
on
the
scale
of
it.
H
F
I
H
There
has
their
husband,
most
notably,
was
was
Elia,
but
otherwise
it's
been
challenging
even
that
that
production
presented
some
problems
for
how
you
could
set
it
up
strategically.
So
and
but
the
idea
now
is
to
start
working
hand
and
hand
a
lot
more
and
especially
with
st.
Lawrence
Parks
Commission,
who
we
work
with
regularly
on
the
film
office
side
for
for
productions
at
Fort,
Henry
and
whatnot.
H
The
idea
is
to
try
to
streamline
things
as
much
as
we
can
so
that
would
allow
us
to
then
in
the
off
season,
when
there
aren't,
when
there
aren't
currently
tours
October
to
April
we'd
be
able
to
do
shooting.
But
then
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
see
how
we
can
work
together
towards
making
sure
that
the
the
productions
that
come
in
could
work
with
the
tours
and
seamlessly
together
and
I
think
there's
a
real
opportunity.
Having
worked
with
that's
all
PC
on
that.
A
A
Since
2009
moved
by
mayor
Paterson
seconded
by
deputy
mayor
Schell
that
the
condolences
of
Kingston
city
council
will
be
extended
to
the
family
and
friends
of
Ian
Milne,
who
passed
away
on
November,
6
2018
at
the
age
of
90,
an
architect
avid
historian
and
proud
Kingstonian,
mr
Milne,
along
with
the
late
market,
Angus
co-founded
first
Capitol
day
later,
mr.
melons
idea
of
a
first
Capitol
Festival
between
June
15th
and
July,
first
became
known
as
first
Capitol
days
in
2001,
a
group
led
by
mr.
A
Milne
was
successful
in
obtaining
City
Council's
first
declaration
that
the
areas
surrounding
City
Hall
be
known
as
first
Capitol
place.
Thanks
to
his
contributions,
the
occasion
of
Kingston's
choice
as
Canada's
first
Capitol
continues
to
be
celebrated
each
year.
Our
thoughts
are
with
his
family.
During
this
difficult
time,
we
will
call
the
vote.
Please.
A
A
A
K
A
L
Thank
you,
I
have
a
question
on
this
agreement
for
the
cartograph
OMS
subscription
renewal.
I
have
no
objection
to
renewing
it
as
it's.
A
very
important
replacement
reserve
fund
technical
technology
when
I'm
a
bit
concerned
about
is
that
the
single
source
contrast
exceeds
$50,000
is
the
is
the
rule
for
bringing
these
these
type
of
motions
to
Council,
but
the
amount
being
requested
is
considerably
more
than
$50,000.
L
It's
three
hundred
eighty
six
thousand
seven,
fifty
seven
us
and
I
calculated
that
out
at
the
exchange
value
and
added
the
rebated
tax,
and
it
comes
to
something
like
five
hundred
and
forty
two
thousand
dollars
in
Canadian
and
the
parts
not
even
the
part
that
most
concerns
me.
It's
the
last
clause
that
says
authority
to
director
engineering
renew
the
agreement
for
future
periods,
subject
to
renewal
review
by
the
director
of
legal
services.
In
other
words,
it
won't
come
back
to
Council
and
that's
ten
times
more
than
the
amount.
L
M
You
two-year
where
so,
yes,
the
bylaw
does
require
anything
over
50,000
comes
back
because
it
is
a
sole
source.
I
believe
in
this
case
that
the
company
that
we're
awarding
to
is
exclusive
distributor
in
Canada
for
cartograph.
So
we
don't
have
much
choice
in
that.
We've
got
a
significant
investment
in
the
cartograph
system
to
date,
and
so
it's
not
something
that
we'd
want
to
consider
changing.
So
in
that
regard,
we've
just
asked
for
that
delegated
authority
to
the
to
the
director
in
terms
of
ongoing.
L
A
A
C
C
G
There's
a
really
good
report
here
gives
a
lot
of
information
about
the
changes
in
the
assessment
levels
and
the
permits
the
building
permits
broken
down
by
category,
and
there
was
a
reduction
which,
of
course,
is
contrary
to
what
we
would
like
to
see
for
increasing
assessment
grows
as
the
strategic
priority,
but
there's
also
there's
something.
That's.
G
Regarding
the
number
of
multi
residential
units
that
are
not
actually
online
and
being
occupied,
which
would
which
would
be
the
way
that
we
collect
the
the
occupancy
I
believe
could
could
staff
just
explain
how
that
revenue
comes
through
the
permitting
happens
when
there
are
buildings
that
are
approved
that
are
not
being
built.
And
what
is
the
reason
for
that?
And
what
are
the
ramifications
year
over
year?.
N
So
well
here
your
worship
I'll
start
with
sure
to
that,
and
there
may
be
some
information
that
the
treasurer
would
like
to
added
whether
it
relates
to
assessment.
But
Commissioner
may
also
wish
to
add
in
terms
of
building
permits
and
the
occupancy,
so
I
haven't
found
the
exact
reference
counselors
job,
but
I'm
assuming
it
has
to
do
with
the
building
permit
report
for
I
think
it
was
October.
N
That's
included
in
this
particular
section,
as
well
as
some
comments
about
the
number
of
applications
for
multi
residential
units
that
are
underway
or
improve,
says
that
our
at
various
stages,
they
could
be
at
an
OMB
or
an
L
Pot
stage,
or
they
could
be
out
of
that
stage
ready
for
building
permit
issuance,
in
which
case
they
may
be
at
site
plan
and
then
moving
forward
to
building
permit
and,
of
course,
assess
properties
only
assessed
from
the
standpoint
of
occupancy
once
it
it
receives
the
occupancy
permanent.
Is
that
point
in
time?
N
N
So
that's
generally
what
it's
trying
to
describe,
and
it's
indicating
that,
because
there
are
delays
that
are
not
necessarily
in
the
hands
of
staff
and/or
council,
with
respect
to
these
that
those
permits
will
not
actually
be
turned
into
taxation,
which
is
in
accordance
with
what
the
priority
was
of
council
until
such
time
as
they
become
occupied,
which
could
be
two
or
two-and-a-half
years
later.
Right.
G
O
You
my
three
mister
mayor,
so
a
the
report
doesn't
specifically
identify
those
I
think
units
councillors
that
you're
you're,
referring
to
as
far
as
approve
units
but
are
not
in
the
construction
phase.
It
does
identify
the
ones
that
have
been
appealed
at
the
L
pad,
which
is
1300
approximately
at
the
time
of
writing
the
report.
But
there
are
a
number
of
units
that
we
know
have
gained
approvals
and
have
not
started
construction.
O
G
You
that's
that's
good,
to
hear
we're.
Gonna
get
that
word
and
on
the
topic
of
the
vacancy
rate.
It
does
say
this
in
the
report.
I
just
want
to
point
out
to
the
colleagues
0.7%
that
we
hear
about
a
lot
around
the
neighborhoods
and
stuff,
that
is
the
multi
residential
vacancy
rate,
so
the
units
of
the
multi
residential-
that's
in
this
report,
for
example-
and
that
is
obviously
that
number
would
change
if
some
of
these
approvals
that
have
been
given
were
actually
constructed
and
opened
for
business
right.
G
So
part
of
the
reason
for
the
low
vacancy
rate
is
not
in
the
hands
of
council,
so
so
I
just
want
everyone
to
understand
that.
That's
what's
in
this
report
that
we
can
approve
things,
but
they
still
aren't
getting
built
sometimes,
and
the
vacancy
rate
is
rock-bottom
for
a
multi
residential
right,
but
this
report
doesn't
say
what
we
might
do
to
encourage
that
those
units
be
built
and
if
it's
at
the
discretion
of
the
landowner,
or
maybe
we
can
look
at
that
in
at
some
other
time.
Thank
you.
Thank.
P
Thanks
for
you,
you
mayor
Paterson,
I'd,
like
to
thank
the
staff
for
this
report.
I
think
it's
an
awesome
report.
It's
got
a
lot
of
great
information
and
I
think
you
worked
really
hard
throughout
this
last
four
years
and
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
that.
I'd
also
like
to
highlight
one
thing
in
the
report:
that's
very
important
for
me,
and
that
was
the
airport
and
it
reads
very
well
with
what
you've
done:
the
new
instrument
landing
gear
or
sorry,
the
instrument
landing
system
that
will
be
completed
in
December.
P
That's
that's
so
important
for
the
airport,
also
that
you've
been
in
discussions
with
Air
Canada
for
different
routes
and
other
airlines,
you're,
putting
charging
stations,
Airport
micro
website
and
new
public
art
installations,
also
air
carriers
to
introduce
competition
to
the
Kingston
market.
These
are
all
great
things
and
I'm
so
happy
to
see
this
come
to
fruition.
So
thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you.
Okay.
We
will
call
the
vote
on
Clause
4,
but
what
we've
done
is
we
have
separated
it
into
two
paragraphs
for
for
councillor
bomb
sake.
So,
first
we
will
call
the
vote
on
the
first
paragraph,
which
is
everything
that
is
outside
of
anything
to
do
with
utilities
Kingston.
So
first,
we
will
call
the
vote
on
paragraph
1
of
Clause
4.
A
C
L
Thank
you.
I
have
a
question
about
the
sixth
paragraph
on
page
77,
which
talks
about
the
affordable
housing
land
acquisition
and,
in
that
account,
according
to
the
page,
79
there's
2.7
million
dollars
and
the
we're
reallocating
that
source
first
question
is:
what
is
the
affordable
capital
investment
program
and
how
is
it
is
it
related
to
housing?
Commissioner,.
O
You
and
through
you
know,
a
number
of
years
ago,
council
established
two
programs
in
the
capital
budget
for
affordable
housing.
One
was
the
affordable
housing
capital
contribution,
which
essentially
was
funding
to
actually
go
towards
the
construction
of
new
units
and
the
other
one
was
the
affordable
housing,
land
acquisition
and
disposal
program,
which
was
a
million
the
ID.
At
the
time
of
the
establishment
of
the
fund.
O
It
was
a
million
dollars
per
year
so
that
the
city
could
look
at
acquiring
properties
that
could
be
utilized
for
affordable
housing
purpose
and
we
did
acquire
two
properties
with
that
fund.
So
we
have
acquired
seven
right,
Crescent
that
you'll
all
remember,
and
we
have
another
one
at
thirteen.
Sixteen
princess
Street
as
well
that
we're
going
through
the
final
planning
stages
process
for
for
that
particular
property.
O
So,
at
this
point
and
and
looking
at
opportunity
and
options
in
terms
of
acquiring
properties,
it
takes
us
not
only
quite
a
lot
of
time
to
find
the
appropriate
properties
that
we
can
acquire
for
affordable
housing.
But
it
also
takes
us
quite
a
lot
of
time
in
terms
of
redevelopment
of
those
properties
and
we're.
What
we're
seeing
is
that
the
demand
is
more
on
the
actual
capital
investment.
So
organizations
like
Kingston
Frontenac,
Housing
Corporation
that
may
have
property
that
they
can
build
on,
but
don't
necessarily
have
enough
money
to
do
that.
O
So
that's
where
we're
getting
or
we're
seeing
most
of
the
demand
working
with
our
partners
and
that's
why
we're
proposing
to
close
the
land
acquisition
account
currently
and
to
actually
look
at
reinvesting
dollars
into
the
capital,
affordable,
housing
program
which
will
be
towards
construction
with
the
budget
with
the
new
council.
So
because
we
do
have
currently
two
properties
that
we
still
need
to
to
proceed
with
construction
with.
O
L
You
further
to
the
there's
quite
a
bit
of
interest
on
the
I'm,
a
new
council
about
housing,
so
I'm
wondering
about
13,
16,
princess
Street,
I,
believe
that
that
was
deferred
because
we
didn't
have
the
infrastructure
in
place
on
Princess
Street.
So
that
could
actually
be
anything
that
I
actually
be
built
there.
L
K
N
Through
you,
so
we've
been
working
with
utilities
Kings
one
of
the
next
four
year
plan
that
will
come
before
council
as
per
this
2019
budget,
and
that
work
that's
required
to
service
and
make
this
property
available
to
build
on
is
going
to
be
contemplated
as
part
of
that
plan.
So
we
believe
that
that
property
will
be
ready
to
go
in
the
next
year.
So
and
in
fact
it
is
just
in
the
process
of
receiving
a
record
or
site
condition
on
that.
That
has
taken
a
couple
of
years
to
move
through
the
process.
L
A
L
A
So
so
councillor
I,
just
I
just
I,
just
want
to
pause
there,
because
this,
this
item
is
with
respect
to
choosing
who
the
consultant
will
be
so
so,
unless
your
question
is
related
to
that.
Obviously,
there's
going
to
be
lots
of
discussion
around
the
details
of
this
study
later
on,
but
I'm
just
trying
to
confine
to
the
actual
item.
That's
before
us.
L
N
Huntin,
so
I
can
probably
help
with
the
answer
that
sir
year,
so
the
legislation
for
development
charges
is
prescriptive
and
it
describes
the
elements
that
are
to
form
the
components
required
for
the
review
that
ultimately
find
its
way
into
a
bylaw.
That
council
will
consider
and
so
that
legislation
has
been
updated
within
the
last
eight
months
and
will
guide
the
the
consultant.
The
consultant
firm
is
renowned
in
Ontario
for
the
work
as
an
expert
in
this
particular
field
and
all
of
the
services,
including
the
social
housing
component.
That
was
part
and
parcel.
N
L
J
M
You
through
your
worship,
so
yes,
we're
actually
not
changing
the
system.
This
is
just
upgrading
and
enhancing
the
system
that
we've
put
in
place
over
this
last
18
24
months.
But
yes,
the
agencies
that
we
have
a
contract
with
that
we're
providing
them,
accounting
and
bookkeeping
services
are
on
the
system,
so
they
that
will
continue
and
actually,
as
we
enhance
the
system,
they'll
benefit
from
that
as
well,
because
they
use
the
system
for
the
financial
reporting.
Thank.
Q
B
A
So
we're
going
to
separate
out
Clause
2
for
councillor
canons
pecuniary
interests.
Are
there
any
other
separations?
Okay?
Seeing
none?
Then
we
will
vote
on
the
remaining
items
as
a
whole,
so
Clause
1
tax,
write-offs
pursuant
to
the
Municipal
Act
2001
Clause
3
minor
amendments
to
the
flag
display
policy
for
downtown
gateway,
project
and
clause
for
smoking.
Bylaw
update
cannabis.
R
J
Its
I
just
need
clarification,
otherwise,
I
need
to
read
their
leave
the
room
for
those
of
us
that
declared
a
conflict
on
the
long
term.
Residential
licensing
I
just
want
to
seek
confirmation
from
staff
that,
what's
before
us
today
is
strictly
regarding
short-term
air
B&B,
in
which
case
I
don't
believe
we
would
be
in
a
conflict.
So.
A
A
R
Okay
thanks
the
short-term
rentals,
which
are
30
days
or
less
for
anyone
who
was
confused
about
that.
This.
This
item
was
originally
part
of
a
larger
recommendation
that
came
before
the
committee
and
it
was
separated.
The
short-term
rental
licensing
was
separated
from
a
larger
scale,
rental
licensing
program
and
the
larger
scale
longer
term
residential
licensing
was
separated
from
the
original
recommendation
and
deferred.
So
that's
why
it's
not
before
us
and
we
really
are
just
discussing
dealing
with
the
Airbnb.
Most
of
the
discussion
at
the
committee
was
regarding
the
longer
term
rental
licensing
program
and
I.
R
C
A
A
And
that
carries
okay.
We
have
nothing
from
committee
of
the
whole,
we
have
a
number
of
information
reports.
So
if
you
have
questions,
please
just
raise
your
hands
as
I
read
through
them
number

L
N
Trinity
for
us
to
pass
our
community
and
develop
our
city,
and
we
appreciate
the
work
and
the
effort
and
the
time
that
you
put
on
put
in
to
to
help
us
do
that,
and
hopefully
you
have
felt
that
you've
received
the
support
in
order
to
also
do
that
from
the
perspective
of
a
councillor.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
A
It's
been
an
absolute
pleasure
to
work
with
you
over
the
last
four
years,
very
proud
of
what
we've
been
able
to
accomplish,
and
a
special
thank
you
to
to
city
staff,
for
the
relationship
that
we've
been
able
to
build
and
for
the
great
work
and
recommendations
and
professionalism
and
being
able
to
accomplish
a
great
deal.
I
think
councillor.
Turnit
said
it
best.
When
you
read
through
that
report
detailing
the
work
on
our
strategic
priorities,
it
was
really
striking
just
how
much
we've
been
able
to
get
accomplished.
A
The
four
of
you
will
all
be
missed
and
we
do
want
to
say
a
special
thank
you
for
all
of
your
work
and
your
commitment
and
the
many
hours
that
you've
put
in,
and
we
do
wish
you
all
the
best
in
this
next
season,
and
we
want
you
to
know
that
you're
welcome
any
time
back
here
at
Council.
So
with
that
everybody
else,
I
look
forward
to
seeing
in
two
weeks
time
there
we
go
councillor
George.
S
You
know
the
residents
I've
represented
they've,
been
there
to
help
me
so
I
know
they
don't
get
enough
thanks
and
I
just
wanted
to
be
able
to
publicly
state
it
because
I
don't
have
there
all
their
email
addresses,
so
we
can
get
it
out
tonight.
You
can
tweet
it.
That
would

I
know
you're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
challenges
ahead
of
you,
but
you've
been
entrusted
with
a
with
a
duty
by
those
that
elected
you
and
I'm
sure
you'll
serve
them.
Well,

I
think
you've
been
a
terrific
mayor
and
I
wish

Thank

Thank.
I
I
I
How
does
it
work
and
I
have
discovered
it
takes
hundreds
of
people
working
in
an
incredibly
coordinated
fashion,
with
very
good
leadership
from
the
staff,
and
then
the
council,
as
we
all
learned
in
the
beginning
and
learned
a
lot
and
had
to
become
experts
in
many
fields,
well,
take
good
advice
from
experts
in
many
fields
and
I
found
many
new
friends
and
I
would
like
to
thank
everyone
very
much
for
this
incredible
experience.
Thank
you.
Wonderful.
P
Understand
for
this
occasion,
I'd
like
to
follow
suit,
as
well
with
my
other
members
here
and
thank
everyone,
and
thank
you
mayor.
You
were
a
great
mentor
to
me
and
you
were
a
great
mayor
and
I.
Thank
you
very
much
like
to
thank
all
the
staff
and
CA.
Oh
I'm,
you're
you're,
a
great
mentor
to
me
as
well
and
other
staff
members,
and
it
was
a
great
journey
and
it
was
a
great
experience
and
I'm
very
humbled
and
very
honored
to
have
served
my
community
and
it
was
a
great
council.
P
E
Time
our
supposes
do
put
up
with
a
lot:
it's
not
an
easy
job.
There's
lots
of
ups
and
downs
and
I
just
want
to
thank
for
the
thanked
the
people
and
the
community
that
I
grew
up
in
that
I.
Actually
don't
live
it
anymore,
but
the
community
that
I
grew
up
in
it's
really
cool
experience
to
grow
up
as
a
Kingstonian
and
get
elected
by
the
people
in
your
community,
and
you
know,
walk
around
soccer
fields
in
your
neighborhood
and
and
get
to
talk
to
people
who
voted
for
you.
E
It's
a
really
neat
experience
and
you
get
to
meet
a
lot
of
people
and
I'm
really
thankful
for
the
relationships
that
I
have
here
and
I
think
that
it's
a
very
unique
experience
and
I
think
that
all
the
people
who
are
in
this
room
can
can
relate
so
I
I'm,
very
fortunate
to
have
those
relationships
and
have
those
experience.
The
experiences
with
you
guys
a
lot
of
them
good,
a
lot
of
them
bad,
but
that's
life
in
general,
I!
