regrets.

as
well
as

julia
mccarty,
jansman
committee
clerk,
and
we
have
no
members
of
the
public
with
us.
Currently,
mr
chair
I'll
turn
over
to
you
to
start
the
meeting.
B
Great
sorry
about
that,
I'm
at
my
cousin's
cottage,
and
so
there
was
another
call,
came
in
on
his
fancy
computer
system
here.
So
I'll
call
the
meeting
to
order.
We
need
to
have
approval
of
the
agenda,
so
hopefully
everybody's
had
a
chance
to
read
that
were
there
any
additions
or
omissions
to
that
agenda,.
B
B
B
C
I'm
great,
thank
you
very
much,
so
I'm
here
tonight
with
respect
to
the
2021-2022
donation
campaign
for
the
kingston
community
climate
action
fund.
As
you
recall,
council,
approved
the
program.
Last
year
we
ran
the
program
successfully
with
two
applications
that
had
come
before
you
this
year.
We
ran
the
campaign.
In
august
to
september,
we
received
three
applications
that
are
before
you
from
cycle
kingston,
I'm
looking
for
funding
for
the
bicycle
valley
at
fifteen
thousand
two
hundred,
so
the
public
donation
would
run
again
from
december.
C
Staff
have
reviewed
them
to
ensure
eligibility
and
that
they
meet
the
criteria
the
fund
approved
by
council
and
we're
recommending
that
all
three
do.
We,
however,
have
the
evaluation
guide
and
the
the
full
applications
within
your
package
today
for
keith
to
review
and
to
ensure
that
you
support
that
or
if
you
support
other
ones,
that's
fine.
With
respect
to
last
year's
campaign,
we
had
martha's
table
who
we
fundraised
for
an
electric
vehicle
and
habitat
for
humanity
where
they
installed
air
source
heat
pumps
in
their
homes.
C
I'm
just
looking
to
see
so
the
the
funding
that
we
through
public
donations,
that
ran.
As
I
said
december
1st
to
march
31st
of
the
past
year,
we
raised
43
000,
which
included
15
000.
That
council
supports
the
program
with,
and
the
kingston
community
credit
union
that
we
have
partnered
with
they
have
matched
5
000.
C
So
it
was
a
total
of
forty
three
thousand
six
hundred
and
eleven
I'm
happy
to
inform
that
both
martha's
type
table
and
habitat
had
additional
funding,
so
they
both
were
able
to
proceed
with
their
the
purchase
of
the
ev
and
for
habitat,
the
installation
of
air
source
heat
pumps.
So
they
had
the
other
sources.
So
that
was
exciting
news
as
well.
Even
though
we
didn't
reach
those
targets,
we
felt
it
was
a
very
successful
campaign
considering
it
was
the
first
year
and
it
was
a
pandemic.
C
So
we
were
very
happy
with
what
we
have
done
over
the
last
year.
We've
revamped,
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
is
what
for
the
application
process,
which
we're
really
happy
with
the
applications
that
came
in
this
year.
Certainly
like
out
of
the
box
are
not
you
know
the
typical
ones
you're
thinking
of,
but
certainly
some
really
unique
ones
that
we
have
received.
E
C
F
F
C
G
H
G
G
C
After
you,
mr
chair
and
those
that's
a
good
point
about
the
stickers,
so
I
have
written
that
down
because
I'm
working
with
my
team
tomorrow
to
come
up
with
some
additional
ideas.
So
last
year
everyone
that
donated
they
got
a
thank
you,
email
from
me
personally
thanking
them
for
their
donation
either,
because
we
have
the
donation
platform,
canada
helps
that
they
donate
through
and
when
they
donate
through
there.
I
believe
you
get
an
email
like
a
generated
email,
but
I
emailed
them
separately
to
thank
them
for
their
donation.
C
I
then
email
and
then
the
people
that
go
into
the
credit
union
if
they
provide
their
email
address,
I
emailed
them
as
well
plus
when
they
were
in
there.
We
had
postcards
that
thanked
them
when
they
left
after
the
campaign
ended.
I
sent
them
everybody
that
had
donated
an
update
to
you
know
it
was
successful
and
we
were
planning
ahead
and
this
year.
C
One
of
the
events
that
we
are
going
to
are
looking
at
doing
if
we
can
be
in
person,
is
to
host
a
little
get-together
and
invite
the
people
that
donated
last
year,
because
that's
exactly
what
we
want
to
to
keep
those
people
in
touch
and
show
them
that
their
their
money
worked
and
that
we're
going
to
continue.
So
there
are
some
events
that
we're
playing
but
the
sticker.
I
really
like
that
idea,
and
I've
made
a
note
of
that.
So
thank
you.
G
C
So,
yes,
thank
you
answer
you,
mr
chair.
Yes,
so
they
do
need,
they
are
required
to
report
to
the
city
within
two
years
of
their
their
campaign,
so
they
have
received
partial
commitment
of
the
dollars
that
they've
raised
and
when
they
file
that
report
with
us,
they
get
the
remainder
funds.
So
that
is
in
the
agreement
as
well,
because
we
wanted,
I
mean
that's.
I
I
My
question,
I
guess,
follows
up
on
councillor
doherty's
question
about
measuring
the
greenhouse
gas
reductions
specifically
on
the
bike
valet
project,
because
I
read
here
that
it
says
they're
going
to
count
the
number
of
bikes
they're
used
and
basically
estimate
the
amount
of
kilometers
that
would
have
been
driven
equivalently
by
those
people
to
see
the
ghg
reductions.
Does
that
take
into
account
how
many
of
those
people
would
have?
Maybe
rode
public,
transit
or
biked
anyway,
and
not
necessarily
driven
in
the
car
by
themselves?
Perhaps
they're
like
family
units.
C
J
C
Thank
you
answer
you
and
mr
chair.
Actually,
there
was
one
other
it
was
from
the
senior
center
and
they
so
they
they
own.
They
don't
know
they
lease
the
building
from
the
city
and
they
put
in
an
application
for
an
ev
charger,
and
since
it
was
a
city
building,
we
have
worked
with
them
to
install
the
ev
charger
so
that
their
application
was
withdrawn.
C
G
C
Through
the
donations
so
last
year
and
thank
you
and
through
you,
mr
chair,
we
saw
like
some
spikes.
So
when
we
first
launched
in
december,
there
was
a
bit
a
big
uptake
and
then
it
sort
of
lulled
out,
and
then
you
know
we
we
did
push
again
before
the
holidays
and
we
had
some
update
january
was
absolutely
really
good.
C
So
we
are
actually
we're
looking
at
that
now,
with
our
events,
staff
and
community
education
staff
to
see
what
we
can
do
and
that's
why
we
thought
there'd,
be
you
know
in
the
winter
there
might
be
some
other
events
or
something
we
can
tie
to
we
tied
to
to
family
day
and
that
brought
in
a
lot
of
donations
as
well.
So
because
we
knew
people
were
at
home
through
the
pandemic.
H
G
F
F
I
don't
see
in
the
preliminary
expense
sheet
that
they've
included
interpretive
signage
or
anything
like
that,
just
something
that
we're
just
looking
for
it
again,
just
something
that
we
would
recommend-
and
I
don't
know
if
that's
something
the
city
can
contribute
to
or
the
conservation
authority
can
partner
with
them
or
they
can
build
into
their
budget.
But
you
know
we
really
want
people
to
learn
about
alternative
stormwater
management
and
and
low
impact
development
and
four
or
five
different
locations
across
the
city
would
really
provide
a
good
opportunity
there.
F
C
After
you,
I'm
sure
that's
really
great
thanks
mike.
I
made
a
note
of
that
because
I
agree
to
be
able
to
educate
everyone.
It's
a
really
exciting
project
when
I
saw
it
coming,
I
was
very
excited
about
it.
So
that's
a
really
good
point
that
we
can
use
some
of
these
projects
to
really.
You
know
raise
that
awareness
through
the
community.
J
And
thank
you
through
you,
mr
chair.
Just
just
a
another
question
about
donors,
the
number
of
donors
and
are
there
donors
from
outside
of
the
city?
Perhaps
just
just,
can
you
give
me
a
little
bit
of
sort
of
a
synopsis
of
who
who
were
the
donors
and
and
and
where
were
they
from
and
what
I
mean,
I
think
donors
had
a
choice
to
either
direct
their
funding
to
one
or
the
other
project.
Is
that
going
to
be
the
same
as
this
year.
C
Thank
you,
and
through
you,
mr,
I
don't
have
the
number
of
donors
available
right
now
and
I
don't
know
where
they
they
come
from
either.
So
I
can.
I
can
provide
that
number.
I
can
look
at
that
and
provide
that
number
to
the
clerk
and
she
could
provide
it
to
the
committee,
but
I
don't
know
where
they
come
from
sorry.
What
was
there
was
one
more
question.
C
So
yes,
so
people
had
the
choice
to
donate,
to
either
project
and
which
they
did,
but
within
the
agreement
as
well
with
the
the
project
applicants.
It's
if
there's
not
enough
money
raised
for
your
project.
This
is
a
requirement
of
cra
because
you're
getting
a
tax
receipt.
If
there's
not
enough
money
raised
for
your
project,
and
you
can't
proceed
with
your
project,
that
money
will
be
distributed
between
the
other
other
projects
as
well.
So
people
did
have
that
choice.
Yes,
okay,.
I
Okay,
perfect.
Thank
you.
This
isn't
a
question
so
much
as
onto
one
of
the
proposals.
It's
just
kind
of
a
question
about
the
fund
in
general
is
that
I
noticed
here
that,
although
we
have
one
more
proposal
this
year,
the
total
amount
of
funds
being
requested
is
almost
exactly
the
same.
It's
only
off
by
like
250.
C
Through
you,
mr
chair,
that
is
a
coincidence.
I
saw
that
as
well
when
I
brought
them
in
and
started
adding
up
what
they
were
looking
for
and
went.
Oh
wow,
that's
pretty
close
to
what
we
were
looking
for
last
year.
So
that's
an
absolute
coincidence
when
we
did
meet
when
we
had
the
information
sessions
and
the
string
with
the
non-profit
in
the
spring,
with
the
non-profits
and
the
organizations
we
spoke
to
them
because
you
know
some
of
them.
C
C
It
was
like
it's
out
of
my
mind
right
now,
but
it
was
a
very
large
project,
so
we
did
relay
to
them
like
it
should
be
reasonable
and
fundable
through
public
donations.
So
maybe
that's
you
know
when
we
brought
that
forward
during
the
the
sessions.
Maybe
they
heard
that
and
they
tried
to
keep
them
at
a
reasonable
amount.
A
B
So
does
do
we
need
to
reread
that
as
everybody
sort
of
see
that
the
kingston
community
climate
action
fund,
applications
that
are
reports
meet
the
objectives
and
eligibility
criteria
and
that
we're
approving
that
for
public
donation?
Can
I
have
a
mover
and
a
seconder
that
motion
mr
dakin
and
counselor
neil.
B
E
C
I
can
do
that,
thank
you
and
for
you,
mr
chair,
so
council,
through
their
strategic
priorities,
had
direct
staff
to
develop
a
green
standard,
community
improvement
plan
for
new
construction
and
last
night
it
went
to
council
for
consideration
and
it
was
approved.
So
the
program
is
for
large,
multi,
multi
residential
as
well
as
commercial
and
if
they
build
above
and
beyond
the
interior
building
code
to
net
zero,
depending
which
level
they
built
to
there
will
be
incentivized
to
build
to
that
level.
So,
right
now
we
have
done.
C
I
won't
go
into
the
huge
detail
because
it's
a
huge
report,
but
we
did
a
lot
of
research
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
with
respect
to
green
standards
and
other
municipalities
have
approved
them.
But
there
is
no
uptake
by
developers,
because
the
incremental
capital
cost
of
constructing
above
the
ontario
building
code
becomes
very
expensive
for
developers
and
they're,
not
doing
it
without
being
incentivized.
C
So
it's
a
very
exciting
time.
So
now
we
will
look
to
to
prepare
to
to
launch
that
program.
We
anticipate
that
or
we
hope
that
we
will
have
approximately
maybe
two
applications
a
year
that
will
take
advantage
of
this
program
and
the
interior
building
code
by
2030
should
be
at
net
zero.
So
the
program
will
filter
out
as
the
level
in
the
ontario
building
code
becomes
more
stringent
and
we
are
looking
forward
to
launching
the
program.
J
Can
I
just
mention
something
that
that
is
something
that
might
it's
sort
of
a
not
quite
a
notice
of
motion?
Nothing
formal
like
that.
But
there
there's
a.
There
has
been
some
discussion
with
the.
I
was
hoping
john
donahue
who's
a
committee
member
would
be
on
tonight,
but
he
he
forwarded
to
me
at
a
time
when
he
thought
I
was
chair
to
bring
to
keefe
as
a
proposal
to
have
kingston
become
one
of
these.
J
What's
called
a
bird-friendly
community
and
it
has
to
do
with
a
lot
of
the
stuff.
Obviously
he
thought
keith
was.
It
was
illogical
for
that.
The
kingston
field,
naturalist,
he's
on
the
board
of
the
kingston
field,
naturalists
and
they're,
prepared.
I
I
think,
prepared
to
do
some
of
the
work
for
this,
but
he
was
looking
to
find
a
connection
with
with
city
council
or
or
keith
through
keith
and
and
I'm
just
wondering
how
we
would
go
about
making
those
connections.
J
That's
just
a
general
question
I
had
because
I
I
I
know
paul
mcclatchy's
group
is
pretty
busy,
but
I
I
don't
know
if,
if
we
should
consider
as
keef
getting
involved
in
sort
of
helping
helping,
that
thing
happen
because
it
doesn't
strike
me
as
a
very
onerous
task.
I've
I've
looked
through
the
literature
a
little
bit
on
what's
involved,
but
it
would
require
a
connection
between
the
knowledgeable
bird
people,
which
would
be
the
kingston
field
naturals
and
and
someone
on
city
staff.
E
E
We
should
also
remember
that
there's
a
precedent
for
this
the
whole
when
I
first
became
involved
in
with
keith
the
whole
tree
issue
and
what
trees
should
be
encouraged
for
the
city
to
plant
came
out
of
a
keef
recommendation
and
today
the
reason
why
we
have
all
those
healthy
native
species
of
trees
is
because
of
keith's
recommendation
almost
a
decade
ago.
So
so
I
think
this.
E
J
Okay:
okay,
if
it's,
if
it's
okay,
then
I'll
I'll,
just
connect
with
john
donahue
and
and
get
the
ball
rolling
and
maybe
bring
it
to
a
future
keep
meeting.
Is
that
the
best
way
to
start
or
should
we
go
to
somewhere
else?
I
think
I
think
counselor
osanic
was
was
somehow
contacted
and
maybe
involved
so
should
I
should
I
approach
it.
That
way,
would
you
say:
okay,
that
was
a
question.
