A
Believe
we
do
have
Quorum
as
Sarah
riding
and
John
Donahue.
There
we
go
so
that
is
a
grand
total
of
eight
perfect
so
good
evening.
Everyone,
it
is
601
and
I
am
going
to
get
this
meeting
all
started
as
we
do
need
to
do
the
election
of
officers
for
this
meeting.
So
is
there
a
mover
or
a
nomination
for
the
position
of
chair.
A
A
A
A
C
C
C
A
D
Oh
great,
thank
you
and
through
you,
Mr
chair,
I'm,
Julie,
Salter,
Keen
I'm,
the
manager
of
the
climate
leadership
division
at
the
city,
I'm,
not
sure
what
members
were
here
probably
last
year
for
your
last
meeting
when
we
talked
about
the
second
round
for
the
Kingston
Community
climate
action
fund.
So
I'll
give
you
a
brief
overview.
I'll
talk
about
the
applications
before
you
this
evening
and
then
I
can
leave
it
for
questions.
D
So
through
the
approval
process,
the
projects
are
we
go
through
a
application
process.
The
applications
come
to
this
committee
and
wants
to
approve
by
Council
we
have
a
public
donation
Campaign,
which
runs
from
December
1st
until
March
31st
of
the
following
year.
So
for
this
year
it'd
be
December
1st
for
the
applications
the
funds
are.
The
public
donations
are
raised
through
Canada
helps
an
online
charity
donation
campaign
and
we
have
partnered
with
Kingston
Community
Credit
Union,
who
they
do
match
through
their
branches.
D
Them
they've
all
gone
ahead
and
have
completed
their
the
projects
and
are
reporting
back
to
the
city
on
their
success.
So
this
year
there
are
three
applications
before
you.
One
is
the
front
Night
Club
Daycare
integration
program
and
they're,
proposing
to
do
some
major,
deep
energy
retrofits
on
their
building.
D
For
you
know,
change
of
scenery
to
to
see
what's
happening
in
their
van
and
they're,
proposing
it's
it's
a
electric
bike
that
has
a
wheelchair
form
at
the
front
of
the
bike.
So
an
individual
will
be
riding
the
e-bike
and
then
the
the
client
sits
in
the
wheelchair
and
they'll
be
able
to.
You
know,
go
around
town
and
and
see
the
sites
Etc.
D
So
not
only
will
they
be
reducing
their
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
not
using
their
van,
but
using
this
bike
it
certainly
will
be
a
benefit
to
the
client
to
where
they'll
be
able
to
get
outside
and
have
some
really
good
experiences
that
way,
and
then
the
third
one
is
sustainable,
Kingston
and
they're
looking
to
raise
funds
for
an
electric
vehicle,
this
past
winter,
they
they
were.
Originally,
there
was
red
Medical
Services,
which
did
energetics
Etc
and
they
have
sustainable
Kingston,
did
an
asset
transfer.
D
So
now
red
scroll
is
under
sustainable
Kingston
and
they
are
doing
energy
audits
for
for
homes
and
in
particular,
they're
quite
busy
right
now,
with
the
Better
Homes
Kingston
program
that
the
city
launched
in
April,
so
that,
rather
than
the
energy
Auditors
driving
in
their
vehicle
that
are
gas
powered,
they
will
be
using
this
electric
vehicle
to
to
visit
the
homes
to
do
their
energy
audits.
So
they
would
be
looking
at
reducing
their
greenhouse
gas
emissions
substantially
as
well.
D
D
We've
spoken
with
a
number
of
industries
that
want
to
donate
to
the
fund
and
to
to
get
some
recognition
so
I'm
working
with
our
strategic
partnership
division
at
the
city
to
see
how
we
can
really
capture
some
some
big
dollars
out
there
from
some
Industries
or
some
public
donations,
as
well
as
the
the
regular
public
donations
that
were
looking
to
always
increase
and
improve
as
we
move
forward
as
well
and
I.
Think
with
that,
I
will
leave
that
and
if
there's
any
questions,
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
them.
D
B
D
Thank
you
and
through
you,
Mr
chair,
so
in
your
package
you
would
have
received
the
evaluation
guide
that
provides
the
out
application
review
tips
as
well
as
a
ranking
system.
So
it's
the
the
the
role
of
Keith
has
approved
by
Council,
was
to
evaluate
the
applications
and
make
a
recommendation
to
council.
B
D
No,
that
was
to
and
through
you
Mr
chair,
that
was
to
assist
you
prior
to
the
meeting
this
evening
to
to
look
at
the
applications
and
come
forth
with
our
recommendation.
Now.
The
report
before
you
this
evening
from
staff
has
recommended
that
all
three
projects
be
approved,
but
that's
totally
Keith's
role
to
look
at
the
applications
and
to
make
that
decision.
A
recommend
to
council.
B
C
E
E
Initially
we
were
thinking
of
what
that
bike
for
the
wheelchair,
assisted
bike
looked
like
and
if
they're
purchasing
one
well,
wouldn't
it
be
nice
to
have
two,
so
people
could
go
out
together
and
it
wasn't
just
one
person
using
the
bike,
but
I
think
that
makes
sense
with
someone's
using
the
e-bike
and
then
someone
is
using
the
the
wheelchair
seat
at
the
front.
Is
that
correct.
D
Yes,
it
is
thank
you
and
through
you
Mr
chair,
we
were
actually
very
excited
to
see
this
application.
It
just
doesn't
tick
off
the
box
of
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
but
social
Equity
inclusiveness
really
go
forward,
but
it
is
all
one
structure
and
then
the
e-bikes
at
the
back
and
then
the
wheelchair
form
is
at
the
front
where
the
client
would
sit.
E
Amazing.
Okay,
thank
you.
That's
helpful.
A
super
cool
project
too,
did
you
find
sorry
I'm
jumping
in
but
I
didn't
see
any
other
hands
up.
Did
you
find
that
applications
that
organizations
had
an
easier
time
submitting
applications
compared
to
other
years
or
any
progression
that
way
with
just
the
process?
Out
of
curiosity.
D
Thank
you
and
through
you
Mr
chair,
we
did
a
lot
of
Outreach
this
year
and
really
for
the
non-profits
and
Charities.
When
you
look
at
this,
this
is
free.
Money
like
they
do
have
to
do,
work
to
to
promote
their
project,
but
we
as
staff
support
them
with
their
social
media
and
campaigning
and
all
that.
But
we
really
reached
out
a
lot.
We
didn't
receive
many
Apple.
D
Well,
we
have
the
three,
but
we
did
a
lot
of
work
to
get
those
three
we
reached
out
and
we
were
phoning
and
emailing
every
non-profit
and
charity,
and
we
know
in
Kingston-
and
these
few
were
like
yeah-
we
saw
we're
really
excited,
but
they
were
concerned.
It
was
going
to
take
a
lot
of
time
to
fill
in
the
application,
so
we're
going
to
have
to
rethink
it
last
year
for
the
following.
The
year
before
we
did
an
information
session
and
we
had
a
few
individuals
attend,
but
they
didn't
apply.
D
D
So
if
they
wait
till
the
last
week
it
is
a
lot
of
work
to
get
those
quotes
and
and
get
those
invoices
in,
but
we
will
rethink
how
we
do
it
for
next
year
because
it
has
been
successful,
as
I
said,
even
during
covid.
So
if
we
can
up
those
applications,
so
there's
some
really
good
variety,
we'll
do
what
we
can
do
to
make
that
happen.
B
B
Are
they
they're
talking
about
converting
these
out
buildings
to
Child
Care
spaces,
and
that
seems
to
be
like
a
big
project
and
that
this,
the
this
proposal
is
to
just
Supply
the
the
the
heat
pump
affected
or
to
go
with
those
facilities,
but
do
they
do
they
have
planning
permission
to
expand
and
how
do
they?
How
are
they
getting
permission
to
to
make
these
out
buildings?
My
idea
of
an
outbuilding
is
a
garage
they're
going
to
convert
those
to
child
child
care
spaces.
Is
that
all
legit.
D
B
B
B
Yeah
and
well
finally,
that
I
just
have
some
questions
about
the
sustainable
Kingston
request.
They
are
I
mean
they're,
suggesting
that
this
could
save
235
liters
of
gasoline
and
and
they're
sort
of
talking
about
Kingston
area
versus
Kingston
and
I
thought
this
had
to
be
Kingston,
not
Brockville
or
who
knows
where
yananakwe.
B
Where
are
they
proposing
to
that
they're
going
to
be
talk
about
doing
51
audits
a
year
or,
let's
say
50
a
year?
This,
it
just
seems
like
I
guess
what
I'm
getting
at
is.
It
seems
like
a
pretty
trivial
request
or
need
for
a
vehicle
and
I'm
just
curious
about
whether
sustainable
Kingston,
for
example,
has
access
to
some
of
the
city
fleet
or
how
do
how
do
they
do
their
current
stuff?
Now.
D
D
What
I
can't
say
is
that
they,
through
sustainable
Kingston,
are
the
energy
coach
service
for
the
better
homes
Kingston
program
which
launched
in
April
and
which
we've
received
over
400
applications
already
and
has
been
so
successful
that
our
it
was
supposed
to
be
a
four-year
program
with
500
applications
over
the
four
years,
we're
already
at
400
applications.
They
currently
have
one
energy
auditor
and
will
be
certifying
two
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks,
so
they
currently
are
doing
over
10
energy
audits
a
week
in
the
city
of
Kingston.
B
B
D
B
F
D
Their
energy
otters
have
to
they
drive
a
vehicle
to
the
homes
they
have
equipment.
They
they
can't
walk.
I
mean
they
can't
really
take
a
bus
to
all
these
different
homes
throughout
the
city
of
Kingston.
You
have
to
remember.
City
of
Kingston
is
a
large
area,
just
not
the
urban
core,
and
it
will
be
owned
and
operated
and
insured
by
sustainable
Kingston
and
right
now,
they're
using
gas
vehicles
to
get
to
these
homes
so
they're,
proposing
to
purchase
this
electric
vehicle
rather
than
using
a
gas
vehicle.
B
B
Question,
how
will
your
proposed
project
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
the
answer
is
that
you
know
in
in
2022
they
they
did
a
total
of
51
energy
assessments
and
another
39
in
the
surrounding
area.
That's
why
I
was
questioning
you
know.
How
far
is
the
surrounding
area
and
does
this
qualify
as
Kingston,
and
then
this
work-related
travel
resulted
in
2641,
kilometers
and
235
liters
of
gasoline,
and
they
spelled
it
all
out
to
the
microgram.
D
B
D
B
B
G
All
right
thanks
very
much
I
didn't
as
a
technical
representative,
I
didn't
vote
on
the
previous
applications
that
came
in
and
I
won't
be
voting
on
this
one,
but
I
just
want
to
I
just
want
to
ask
the
question
to
Roger's.
Point
did
Keith
not
support
an
application
previously
from
Martha's
table
for
the
purchase
of
an
electric
vehicle,
and
so
what
is
the
if
there's
an
objection
this
round?
What
is
the
substantial
difference
between
that
application
previously
in
this
one,
in
terms
of
the
need
for
the
vehicle
itself?
G
G
B
B
That's
in
the
Martha's
table
example
in
this
in
the
example
of
sustainable
Kingston,
doing
their
energy
audits,
I
think
with
with
their
I
just
sort
of
question
the
need
for
a
vehicle
to
start
with
and
and
whereas
I
I
think
in
the
case
of
Martha's
table
it
was,
they
were
delivering
quite
a
substantial
number
of
meals,
also
in
a
pandemic
and
all
that
stuff,
so
that
that
was
a
different
situation.
To
me,
the
situation
with
energy
audits
is
is
not
comparable.
E
C
A
A
A
F
F
I
have
a
few
options
for
a
microphone,
so
yeah,
okay,
good!
No,
it's
not
I,
don't
have
really
a
question,
but
I
just
wanted
to
to
comment
on
on
why
Roger
said
and
Rachel
and
I
think
I
agree
with
Roger.
It's
the
savings
are
not
going
to
be
like
a
lot
just
to
to
justify
the
need
of
an
electric
vehicle
and
I
agree
with
Rachel
that
it's
it's
important,
so
they
are
contributing
to
an
important
project,
better
feeding,
auditing,
doing
their
audits.
But
I.
My
point
is
sustainable.
C
D
B
Saving
is
just
a
drop
in
the
bucket
like
I
I'm,
so
I
I
just
think.
It's
inappropriate
to
be
recommending
this
in
this
case,
for
such
a
meager
saving
and
and
to
to
expend
fifty
thousand
dollars
is
what
it's
probably
gonna,
cost
them
in
the
end
on
saving
a
little
bit
or
they
could
they
could
they
could
put
their
energy
into
something,
much
more
effective
like
encouraging
people
not
to
drive,
and
you
know
it
it's
just
to
me
it's
ludicrous,
but
your
question
Mr
chair
was
whether
I
would
object.
C
H
C
H
A
So
the
recommendation
does
come
from
the
report,
but
it
is
up
to
the
committee
to
approve
the
recommendation
or
make
any
changes.
They
see
fit
any
recommendations
or
any
motions
to
amend.
The
recommendation
do
need
to
be
sent
to
me,
so
I
can
put
them
up
on
screen
and
they
would
need
to
be
moved
and
seconded
and
voted
on
before
we
could
get
back
to
the
original
motion
as
well
as
amended.
E
I'm
not
sure
where
this
would
go
in
place
of
the
voting.
So
I
just
wanted
to
ask
this
now,
because
I
definitely
hear
Roger's
point
and
like
how
we
evaluate
things
and
where
we
see
value
and
projects
and
I
know
it's
tough.
When
we're
trying
to
Garner
or
ask
organizations
that
are
working
very
hard
and
maybe
have
minimal
manpower.
To
think
of
these
things,
and
and
maybe
when
it's.
D
Thank
you
for
that
question
Rachel
and
for
you,
Mr
chair,
I'd,
be
happy
to
bring
a
report
to
Keith
next
year
in
neither
q1
or
Q2
to
look
at.
You
know,
working
with
Keith
on
the
evaluation
and
what
we
can
look
at
for
projects
and
I'd
be
happy
to
do
that
and
move
forward
and
I
would
look
to
the
committee
clerk
for
confirmation,
but
I
myself
don't
need
a
motion
to
do
that.
I
can
he's
shaking
he
said
yeah.
D
C
C
C
C
Foreign
correspondence
Clerk
no,
the
date
of
next
meeting-
is
to
be
determined
and
I.
Thank
everyone
for
their
their
time,
maybe
just
a
short
note
to
thank
the
counselors
for
their
service,
so
councilor,
Doherty
they're,
not
here
and
councilor
Neil-
have
served
on
this
committee
for
a
number
of
years
who
they
will
not
be
running
this
election.
So
so
we
thank
them
for
for
their
time,
and
the
clerk
will
be
in
touch.
C
A
The
current
members
will
stay
in
place
until
replaced
or
reappointed
by
the
incoming
Council,
and
that
will
be
sometime
in
December.
We
don't
want
to
give
a
firm
date,
because
the
new
nominations
committee
hasn't
even
been
struck
yet,
but
you
will
be
more
than
informed
that
when
that
happens,
and
when
that
takes
place
and
I
will
send
another
email
after
that,
the
one
or
later
this
week
with
the
instructions
on
how
to
reapply
and
I'll
link
directly
to
there
as
well.
Okay.
E
I
look
forward
to
hearing
about
projects
in
the
future
like
Julie
had
mentioned,
but
I
was
wondering
if
it
was
possible
to
hear
about
the
projects
that
have
already
been
approved
and
in
practice
and
there's
a
little
description
of
them
in
the
agenda
that
we
had
today.
But
it
would
be
nice
to
have
more
detail
on
the
success
of
those
past
projects
as
well
and
and
that
can
help
inform
evaluations
moving
forward
for
next
year
too.
C
Okay,
thank
you.
Yeah
I,
think
they're
I
think
Julie
mentioned
that
the
projects
that
have
been
approved
of
previous
years
have
to
also
put
in
the
paperwork
of
how
successful
it
was
and
and
and
what
their
their
data
said.
So
I
would
agree.
We
could
look
forward
to
seeing
that
Julie.
You
want
to
comment
on
that.
D

A
So
as
of
currently,
there
is
I
believe
a
federal
project
taking
place
in
federal
public
engagement.
There
was
a
large
sign
just
outside
of
City
Hall.
That
is
to
my
knowledge,
where
the
stands.
If
Julie
Salton
would
know
more,
she
would
be
the
best
person
or
Paul
McClatchy,
but
as
of
right
now
for
business
in
front
of
the
committee,
I
have
not
seen
anything
related
to
that.
I
It's
very
good,
I,
mute
myself.
I
know
that
the
as
the
clerk
said
there
is
a
open
public
consultation
right
now
and
if
people
are
interested,
the
federal
project
owners
and
their
Consultants
have
a
website
with
all
of
the
information
on
the
project
with
videos
you
can
watch
and
when
the
comment
form
for
submitting
comments
on
the
project
design,
so
I
believe
that
that
is
also
posted
on
the
city
of
Kingston.
Let's
say
the
link
to
it.
Thank.
