Good
morning,
everyone
I
see,
council
mafia,
join
us
and
I
believe
council,
gower
and
councillor
meehan
will
join
us
shortly.
Both
indicate
they
are
busy
for
the
first
half
an
hour.
So
folks,
this
particular
meeting
will
be
hosted
in
june,
particularly
by
joining
the
meeting
by
calling
toll-free
telephone
number
using
zoom.
So
for
my
colleague
I
don't
have
to
tell
them.
We've
been
on
zoom
for
a
long
time.
Now,
if
you
need
to
speak,
you
can
use
the
hand
in
the
participant
or
you
can
just
wave
at
me.
So
we
are
a
small
group.
A
A
For
the
items
just
mentioned,
only
those
who
make
oral
submissions
today
or
written
submissions
before
the
amendment
are
adopted
may
appeal
the
matter
to
the
local
planning
appeal
tribunal.
In
addition,
the
applicant
may
appeal
the
matter
to
the
local
planning
appeal
tribune
if
council
does
not
adopt
the
amendment
within
90
days
of
receipt
of
the
applications
for
zoning
120
days
for
an
effort
for
the
official
plan
amendment
to
submit
written
comment
on
these
amendments
prior
to
their
consideration
by
the
city
council
on
november
25th,
please
email
or
call
the
committee
or
council
coordinator,
so.
E
A
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
So
item
number
one:
we
have
an
update
changed
on
the
conservation
authority
and
I
would
with
the
with
the
will
of
the
committee.
I
would
like
to
do
item
two,
which
is
a
draft
operating
a
capital
budget
for
agricultural
rural
affairs
committee
before
we
do
item
number
one.
So
this
way
we
can
release
our
staff
from
finance.
A
A
Three
is
a
zoning
by-law
amendment
2415
rich
inside
road
in
richard's
side,
road
in
westcott
and
mars
item,
one
that
the
agricultural
affairs
committee
recommend
council,
approve
an
amendment
to
zone
and
by
law,
2008-250
for
2415,
richardson
side
road
for
the
purpose
of
rezoning,
their
land
from
rural
countryside
zone
ru
to
rural
countryside
zone
rural
exception
and
to
add
a
warehouse
as
permitted
use
as
a
detail.
In
document
two
and
item
number
two
that
the
agriculture
and
rural
affairs
committee
approved
the
consultation
details.
A
To
my
knowledge,
there's
only
one
speaker-
and
I
think
the
speaker
in
support
of
this
application
mark
is
that
correct
and
and
this
item,
as
you
folks,
I
think
who
know
the
area
they
would
know
is
no
one
in
our
community
as
the
cbc
building,
and
I
have
to
tell
you.
It
was
a
real
pleasure
dealing
with
these
folks
on
on
what
they're
doing
and
their
professionalism
and
their
application.
A
Thank
you
very
much
mark
for
joining
us
today.
Thank
you
have
a
good
day
item
number
four
is
a
new
zone
and
bylaw
proposed
work
plan
and
that's
the
agricultural
rural
affair
committee.
Recommend
council
approve
one:
the
work
plan
for
a
new,
comprehensive
zoning
by
law,
replacing
bylaw
2008-250
with
the
final
draft
of
the
new
zoning
by
lot
to
be
before
council
for
consideration
for
q4
2024.
A
That
will
outline
staff
finding
and
recommendations
on
the
form
and
structure
of
proposed
a
new
comprehensive
zone
and
bylaw
b
describe
the
general
nature
and
scope
of
changes
to
the
zoning
regime
that
will
need
incorporated
onto
the
new
zoning
by-law
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
council,
approve
a
growth
management
plan
and
a
new
official
plan
policy
direction
c
layout
the
course
of
work
and
budget
requirements
for
subsequent
phases
of
the
new
comprehensive
zoning
by
law
project,
including
any
necessarily
amendment
to
the
work
plan.
De-Identify.
A
2008-250
quick
hits
that
may
particularly
be
undertaken
in
the
immediate
or
short
term
to
better
implement
critic,
critical
official
plan
direction,
while
the
full,
comprehensive
zoning
by
law
has
been
developed,
including
amendment
to
respond
to
a
development
pressure
or
major
policy
initiative
such
as
zoning
and
three
establishment
of
a
council-sponsored
group
to
support
and
advocate
for
the
new
zoning
bylaw
project.
As
described
in
this
report.
A
Four
that
the
german
committee
of
planning
committee
and
agriculture
and
rural
affair
committee
be
delegated
the
authority
to
hold
any
statutory
public
meeting
required
for
consideration,
leading
to
the
enhancement
of
the
comprehensive
zone
and
bylaw.
So
we
have
staff,
dave,
weiss
and
carol,
reddy
and
andrea,
and
I
believe,
steve
willis
said
was
going
to
join
us.
A
E
So,
in
terms
of
obviously
pertinence
to
this
term
of
council,
I
know
this
stems
a
lot
from
our
our
previous
op
discussions
and
the
need
to
move
quickly
with
the
comprehensive
zoning
by-law
to
ensure
that
we
can
implement
our
growth
projections
and
our
certainly
our
intensification
targets.
So
just
for
for
the
terms
of
this
report
on
on
the
quick
hits
part,
that's
really
going
to
pertain
mostly
to
things
outside
of
the
purview
of
agricultural
affairs
committee
correct.
E
F
In
order
to
achieve
those
goals,
we
may
be
considering
some
smaller,
more
housekeeping
updates
that
might
be
necessary
to
to
really
clear
the
decks
as
we
go
forward
to
the
to
this
very
significant
project,
so
we
might
be
making
some
changes
to
the
rural
area
and
to
some
of
the
villages
and
whatnot
as
we
go
forward,
but
those
would
be
less
substantive
at
this
time.
Those
would
be.
F
E
A
And
mr
white,
since
you're
still
on
the
call
so
basically
also
that
clean
up
some
of
the
small
items
I've
left
behind
in
zone
and
by
life,
if
I
understand
correctly
because
as
we
went
through
it
not
too
long
ago
in
north
korea,
they
changed
the
zone
but
anyway.
So
basically,
this
is
to
tie
it
up
before
the
official
plan
or
to
go
hand
in
hand
with
the
official
plan.
Is
that
correct.
F
That
that's
correct,
mr
chair,
there's
a
number
of
of
exceptions
that
still
need
to
be
dealt
with.
There
are
some
boundary
changes,
there's
a
number
of
other
items
that
are
relating
back
to
opa
115
180
that
still
need
to
be
resolved
and
we're
still
going
to
keep
moving
forward
with
those
pieces.
So
we
can
make
sure
that
there's
again
as
clean
as
late
as
possible
before
we
move
forward.
F
E
Council
rush
interior
rightly
brought
up
the
north
core
example,
where
the
north
course
secondary
plan
was
not
aligned
with
the
zoning
and
never,
unfortunately,
was
implemented
into
zoning.
Would
we
make
sure
that
we're
looking
at
those
types
of
situations,
even
though
they
aren't
predominantly
part
of
this
op,
but
their
previous
op
decisions
that
were
then
just
missed
on
the
zoning
bylaw.
C
A
A
So
folks,
this
item
in
front
of
us
a
to
review
the
the
bylaw
on
a
private
prop,
but
also,
if
you
remember
a
few
months
ago,
I
brought
the
temporarily
temporary
exemption
for
signage
on
in
a
rural
area,
and
then
we
thought
maybe
it's
time
to
revisit
the
signage
bylaw
on
a
private
property.
We
have
on
the
call
with
us
richard
ashe
this
morning.
If
any
of
my
colleagues
have
any
question
any
question
about
this
permanent
sign
by
law
or
should
can
we
carry
this
item.
B
Just
a
comment,
mr
chair:
yes,
go
ahead,
cops
I
just
want
to
thank
you
and
thanks
staff.
I
know
that
you
every
once
in
a
while,
we
bring
a
medman
and
we
bring
tom
perry
madman
and
we
drag
in
rural
areas,
specifically
our
resident
and
we're
always
arguing
over
signs.
So
I'm
glad
that
you
addressed
this
issue
and
you
brought
this
by
luck
to
address
all
these
a
little
gap.
So
thank
you
and
thanks
staff
for
the
work
that
they've
done
on
that
file.
A
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
council
richard
did
we
miss
anything
richard
asked
on
the
call:
did
we
miss
anything
from?
Oh?
No,
I
think
you've
covered
it
sure
and
and
this
we're
hoping
that
changes
will
will
serve
the
need
for
the
rural
area
when
we
have
signage
in
a
major
road
collector
like
80
kilometer,
whether
in
any
area
the
size
of
the
the
sign
will
be
be
able
to
be
bigger.
Now
if
to
put
in
that
perspective,.
D
D
A
D
A
Thank
you.
So
now
we
go
to
item
two,
the
the
draft
operating
and
capital
budget
for
agriculture
world
affair
committee.
This
way
we
can
have
this
item
presentation
and
then
we'll
go
to
item
one,
which
is,
I
presume,
it's
going
to
take
more
time,
so
that
will
leave
it
to
okay.
Sorry,
man
did
I
miss
something.
D
A
G
Yes,
thank
you
chair
el
shantiri
and
members
of
the
agriculture
and
rural
affairs
committee.
My
name
is
doug
james
and
I
am
the
acting
director
of
planning
services
and
I'm
here
today.
I'm
pleased
to
be
here
today
to
actually
help
deliver.
The
2021
agricultural
rural
affairs
committee
budget,
also
presenting
with
me
today
and
actually
probably
doing
most
of
the
talking,
will
be
jen
nielsen,
who
is
the
acting
manager
of
asset
management?
G
Also,
on
the
call.
Today
we
have
carina
ducos
from
infrastructure
services.
We
have
don
herwayer
and
geraldine
wildman
from
economic
development
and
long-range
planning.
I
see
we
have
wendy
stephenson
from
who
is
the
city
treasurer
who's
here
on
behalf
of
finance
and
if
there's
any
questions,
I
guess
with
respect
to
the
numbers.
She's,
probably
the
best
person
to
talk
to,
we
should
have
luke
genye
from
public
works,
dan
shenya
from
recreation,
cultural
and
facility
services.
G
G
Please
the
next
slide
before
us
here
is
the
agenda
this
morning,
as,
of
course
we'll
we
will
be
reviewing
the
agriculture
and
rural
affairs
committee
operating
and
capital
budgets
and,
as
mentioned
here
on
this
slide,
there's
an
overview
presentation
which
we
are
doing
now.
We
have
public
delegations,
questions
to
staff.
G
G
This
next
slide
shows
us
the
operating
budget
summary
the
budget
areas
there
are
include
development
services
they're
in
the
two,
the
two
rows
on
starting
from
the
left
development
review
services
in
the
rural.
Also,
we
have
the
rural
affairs
office,
the
development
review
rural
proposed
2021
budget.
As
you
can
see,
there
is
approximately
and
those
are
millions
of
dollars-
1.9
1930
million
dollars
the
rural
affairs
office.
G
G
So
those
are
part
of
the
things
that
will
be
discussed
today,
but
the
next
slide,
please-
and
I
would
like,
with
the
next
slide,
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
capital
budget,
so
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
jen.
Who
will
speak
about
the
next
that
issue
within
the
capital
within
the
within
the
overall
budget?
Jen.
C
C
So
the
city
of
ottawa
maintains
nearly
50
billion
dollars
in
existing
infrastructure
assets.
All
of
the
all
of
ottawa's
infrastructure
assets
are
safe.
We
apply
a
risk-based
approach
and
to
ensure
that
priorities
given
to
critical
infrastructure
roads,
especially
in
the
rural
area,
remain
a
high
priority
for
ottawa
residents.
C
C
C
C
From
a
resurfacing
perspective,
we're
investing
approximately
16.7
million
dollars
to
resurface
roads,
specifically
in
the
rural
areas.
Here
are
some
highlights
of
some
of
the
roads
that
we'll
be
doing
this
year,
so
we
have
bank
street
between
snake
island,
road
victoria
street
and
mitch
owens
road
river
road
between
flag
station
and
mitch,
owens
thomas,
a
dolan
parkway
between
dun,
robin
and
sixth
line
roads,
bank
field,
road
between
380
meters,
east
of
first
line,
road
and
rideau
valley,
drive
colonial
road
between
monseniardini
court
to
kanan
road
next
slide.
Please.
C
C
And
lastly,
under
the
purview
of
the
standing
committee
on
environmental
protection,
water
and
wastewater
management
committee,
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
municipal
drainage
works
was
identified.
So
it's
for
anticipated
capital
works
under
the
provincial
drainage
act.
These
are
legislative
requirements,
including
petitions
for
drainage
improvements,
changes
that
come
through
the
year
and
it
is
a
largely
cost
recoverable
item
and
with
that
we're
happy
to
take
any
questions.
A
D
A
E
So
it's
that
the
cultural
affairs
committee
recommend
that
council
sitting
as
committee
of
the
whole
approve
the
agriculture
and
rural
affairs
committee,
2021
draft
operating
budget
and
capital
budget
as
follows.
So
I'm
not
sure
if
you
now
want
to
go
through
one
two,
three
or
I'll
read
them,
and
then
you
just
ask
for.
E
So,
no
so,
okay,
so
we've
got
to
go
one
by
side;
yes
yeah!
So
I'll
read
one
and
then
you
have
so
one
development
review
process;
rural
operating
resource
requirement,
page
two:
okay,
okay,
two
royal
affairs
office
as
follows:
one
user
fees,
page
five,
two
operating
resource
requirement;
page
four;
okay,
and
on
three:
that
the
agriculture
and
real
affairs
committee
capital
program,
page
six,
individual
projects
listed
pages
13
to
15.
D
A
And
the
item
itself-
item
number
two:
sorry:
the
draft
budget
operating
capital
budget
agricultural
affairs
committee
is
the
I
can
carry
okay,
okay.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Council
moffat
and
we
go
to
item
number
one
and
item
number
one
is
update
and
proposed
changes
to
the
conservation
authorities
act
contained
in
belt,
229,
project
support
and
recover
from
covet
19
act,
as
you
folks
know
most
of
us
around
this
table.
I
think,
and
this
meeting
are
involved
in
our
local
conservation
authority.
A
H
H
H
So
there's
a
lot
of
legislative
history
here
and
it's
a
fairly
several
fairly
detailed
amendments
to
the
conservation
authorities
act,
which
collectively
add
up
to
quite
significant
amendments.
Next
slide,
please
the
I've
summarized
the
types
of
changes
here
just
for
ease
of
reference.
I
would
categorize
them
as
five
major
types.
First,
there
are
changes
to
who
may
sit
on
the
conservation
authority
boards
and
the
length
of
their
term.
H
Fourthly,
there
are
restrictions
on
the
authorities,
ability
to
appeal
planning
act,
decisions
and
their
ability
to
acquire
land
through
expropriation
and,
finally,
fifthly,
changes
to
not
yet
proclaimed
enforcement
tools
by
removing
the
power
of
issues.
Stop
work
orders
so
we're
going
to
drill
down
into
these
in
a
little
bit
more
detail,
but
that's
the
overview
of
what's
contained
in
this
this
bill
next
slide.
H
Please,
the
the
most
significant
changes
immediately
will
be
the
changes
to
board
composition,
as
the
members
of
this
committee
are
probably
already
aware
from
the
report
to
council,
municipalities
will
be
required
to
only
appoint
municipal
councillors
to
conservation
authority
boards.
This
is
a
change
from
the
current
practice,
which
you're
all
aware
of
that
private
members
are
are
permitted
to
be
appointed
and,
in
fact,
are
in
ottawa
next
slide,
please.
H
H
So,
in
addition
to
those
changes,
there
will
also
be
changes
which
would
allow
the
minister
or
to
appoint
a
representative
of
the
agricultural
sector
to
a
conservation
authority
board.
We
don't
have
details
yet
about
any
other
qualifications
that
might
be
required
for
this
person
or
or
any
other
details
about
how
that
would
be
done
or
in
which
circumstances
the
additionally,
the
position
of
chair
and
vice
chair
is
proposed
to
be
limited
to
a
one-year
term.
H
The
current
act
provides
a
mechanism
by
which
the
minister
can
prescribe
mandatory
services
that
are
required
to
be
provided
by
the
conservation
authorities,
but
it
doesn't
include
a
list
of
those
specific
mandatory
services.
Bill
229
would
specify
a
list,
while
also
allowing
the
ministry
to
continue
to
add
to
that
list
by
prescribing
additional
services.
H
H
H
Additionally,
bill
229
retains
the
power
for
conservation
authorities
to
enact
or
to
provide
other
services
the
language
around.
This
provision
has
been
changed,
though,
so
that
those
services
must
further
the
objectives
of
the
act.
So
it's
unclear
if
that
would
limit
the
current
authority
of
the
authorities
to
provide
services
other
than
those
that
are
set
out
as
mandatory
services
or
those
that
are
set
out
in
an
agreement
with
a
municipality
that
would
something
that
might
have
to
be
considered
in
the
future
next
slide,
please.
H
H
H
The
bill
229
proposes
as
well
to
remove
conservation
authorities
as
a
public
body
for
the
purposes
of
the
planning
act,
and
that
has
the
effect
that
conservation
authorities
will
no
longer
be
able
to
appeal
any
planning
act.
Decisions
such
as
a
zoning,
by-law
amendment
or
official
plan
amendment
in
that
capacity,
as
a
public
body
conservation
authorities
would
still
be
able
to
appeal
decisions
that
are
related
to
rezoning
or
other
planning
decisions
of
the
land
that
they
actually
own.
They're,
not
appealing
in
a
public
body
capacity.
H
H
The
minister
of
environment,
conservation
and
parks
would
also
be
permitted
to
order
a
conservation
authority
to
issue
or
not
issue
a
section
28
permit,
and
the
minister
may
also
issue
a
permit
directly
with
or
without
conditions,
and
these
would
not
be
subject
to
a
hearing
or
an
appeal
next
slide.
Please,
the
authority
was
proposed
to
have
a
variety
of
new
enforcement
mechanisms
under
previous
legislation
which
has
not
yet
been
proclaimed
into
force.
H
Bill
229
would
remove
the
proposed,
stop
work
order,
power
from
conservation
authorities.
So
again,
this
is
not
a
power
that
conservation
authorities
currently
have.
It
was
a
power
that
was
proposed
to
be
given
to
conservation
authorities,
which
is
now
proposed
to
be
taken
away.
So
that's
the
confusion.
There
is
due
to
all
the
conflicting
amendments
that
have
not
been
proclaimed
into
a
force,
so
this
is
a
power
that
would
have
allowed
conservation
authorities
to
issue
an
order
to
stop
actions
which
were
contrary
to
a
the
conservation
authorities
act.
H
H
Additionally
conservation
authorities
have
the
power
or
currently
have
the
power
to
expropriate
land,
which
means
taking
land
without
permission,
but
with
compensation
to
the
former
owner.
They
would
no
longer
have
that
authority
under
the
bill.
229
proposed
amendments
next
slide.
Please,
this
bill
has
not
yet
been
enacted.
The
first
reading
was
on
november
5th.
It
was
referred
to
standing
committee
and
is
currently
withstanding
committee
and
we're
expecting
that
royal
ascent,
barring
any
major
changes
at
standing
committee
or
any
other
political
changes,
would
happen.
H
Next
week
december
7th
through
11th,
once
passed
the
timeline
for
implementation
of
the
conservation
authority
act.
Amendments
has
not
been
formally
announced,
we're
advised
by
conservation
authorities
that
the
province
has
indicated
that
the
program
changes
would
likely
be
implemented
in
2022
budgets,
which
means
we
could
expect
to
see
a
requirement
to
renegotiate
any
agreements
with
municipalities
in
summer
of
2021.
If,
if
these
changes
go
ahead
next
week,
as
they're
expected
to
next
slide,
please,
as
I
alluded
to
before
council
approved
comments
to
the
minister
on
november
25th.
H
The
city's
letter
focused
on
the
impact
of
removing
the
private
members
from
the
conservation
authority
boards
and
urged
the
province
to
delay
enactment
of
all
of
the
amendments
in
order
to
permit
further
consultation
with
conservation
authorities
and
with
municipalities
next
slide.
Please.
So
I
can
have
this
slide
deck
distributed
to
all
the
committee
members
after
the
presentation.
This
just
contains
some
references
for
your
further
reading.
Should
you
like
to
refer
to
it?
G
Sarah,
if
I
may,
for
one
moment
before
we
go
to
stop
questions,
I
just
want
to
do
a
quick
recap
that
we
rushed
the
most
urgent
comments
from
the
city
to
the
province,
which
is
on
the
board
composition,
which
would
basically
have
almost
every
member
of
council
having
to
sit
on
the
board
of
a
conservation
authority
and
it's
entirely
impractical
in
ottawa's
context.
We
did
rush
those
out.
The
mayor
did
send
that
letter
that
has
gone.
You
know.
G
Certainly
we
have
concerns
about
the
remainder
of
the
legislation,
but
we're
being,
I
think,
pretty
practical
about
the
fact
that
we
strongly
believe
that
that
province
is
on
on
the
track
to
adopt
the
legislation
as
they
have
proposed,
and
we
hope
they
will
listen
to
the
the
most
urgent.
You
know
very
very
pointed
question.
We
ask
them
so
just
want
to
put
a
practical
lens
on
this.
It's
it's
not
that
we
didn't
have
other
concerns,
but
we
focused
on
the
ones
that
had
the
most
severe
impact.
A
Before
we
go
to
question
steve,
maybe
you
can
out
of
the
34
or
maybe
35
conservation
authority
we
have
in
a
province.
I
think
our
city,
or
maybe
a
handful
of
city
will
have
a
challenge
sending
that
many
councillors
to
to
the
conservation
authority.
Where
other
small
municipality,
I
don't
think
they
will
have
similar
challenges.
Is
that
fair
to
say
the.
G
Situation
is
quite
different,
different
parts
of
the
province,
not
all
of
the
province,
is
covered
by
a
conservation
authority.
That's
first
and
foremost,
and
some
conservation
authorities
cover
a
very,
very
large
territory.
If
you
look
at
like
lake
simcoe
region,
they
have
a
lot
of
municipalities,
and
so
their
board
is
composed,
but
one
from
here,
one
from
there
says
no
big
issue.
G
So
we
think
the
ottawa
situation
is
different,
but
I
would
imagine,
even
in
the
toronto
region,
conservation
authority
would
have
very
much
the
same
issue
with
finding
enough
counselors
to
volunteer
to
want
to
do
this,
and
I
think
many
of
the
conservation
authority
boards
have
had
some
pretty
strong
people
from
the
outside
who
really
want
to
be
part
of
this
and
have
actually
made
some
significant
contributions.
So
we
hope
the
province
will
listen
to
us
and,
as
I
said
it's
this,
this
legislation
is
going
fast,
though.
A
D
B
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Through
you,
I'm
not
gonna.
We
saw
the
presentation
and
then
we,
we
kind
of
understood
some
of
the
changes
that
will
impact
conservation
authority,
but
I
also
I
also
want
to
highlight.
I
agree
with
you,
because
the
the
budget
of
some
of
the
conservation,
if
I
look
at
south
nation,
80
percent
of
the
budget
that
goes
into
south
nation,
it's
coming
from
the
city
of
ottawa
and
is
we
barely
be
able
to
have
two
counselors
to
represent
to
be
on
that
table.
B
If
we
don't
have
the
other
public
member
that
they
we
appoint,
because
I
mean
our
counselor
kit
sits
on
cps
and
it
interferes
with
her
committee.
I
I
was
in
the
same
position
last
term
and
I
know
I
am
the
chair
of
south
nation
this
year.
So
it's
been.
It
is
very
difficult
to
be
able
to
make
good
decision
for
the
taxpayer
of
the
city
of
ottawa
on
the
table
if
we
won't
be
able
to
allow
to
have
some
public
public
presentation
on
that
table.
So
I
know
I
also
have
on
our.
B
We
have
our
general
manager
from
south
nation,
angela
coleman
with
us.
She
probably
want
to
speak
a
little
bit
later
if
you
allow
her
to
just
highlight
a
little
bit,
what
it's
really
the
impact
and
because
she
also
work
with
conservation
authority
ontario,
not
only
the
local
one,
with
in
conjunction
with
mississippi
and,
of
course,
with
riddle.
So
I
will
I
want
to
thank
her
for
being
here
this
morning,
and
I
thanking
you
and
mr
chair
for
bringing
this
this
issue
forward
and
addressing
on
the
motion
to
the
minister
to
address
these.
B
A
D
Yeah,
thank
you
chair.
It's
not
a
question,
but
a
comment.
I
do
want
to
thank
garrett
and
steve
and
the
rest
of
the
staff
for
putting
this
together.
I
I
sit
on
the
board
of
the
mississippi
valley
conservation
authority,
I'm
serving
as
vice
chair
right
now,
so
like
counselor,
derozan
and
councilor
al
shantiri.
You
all
know
how
demanding
these
boards
are.
There's
a
tremendous
amount
of
uncertainty
right
now
and
with
all
of
the
changes
happening
from
the
province
to
me,
it's
it's
actually
not.
D
Unlike
what
we've
seen
with
some
of
the
changes
that
the
province
is
making
to
the
healthcare
system.
These
conservation
authorities
are
responsible
for
managing
things
like
water
quality
and
flooding
infrastructure,
flood
infrastructure-
and
I
think
the
last
thing
we
want
to
see
is-
is
less
of
an
ability
to
have
proper
oversight
and
advice
from
from
yes
elected
officials,
but
also
the
citizen
members.
D
A
Well,
thank
you
very
much,
mr
vice
chair.
It's
well
said
quite
honestly,
for
I
remember
the
first
year
I
was
appointed
to
the
conservation
authority
in
2003
and
the
first
meeting
I
attended
and
the
chair
of
the
times
said
to
me.
Oh,
we
have
a
tendency
from
ottawa
now
hundred
percent.
I
said
why
is
that
he
said
well,
you've
been
here
first
meeting,
we
never
saw
your
predecessor
before
so
just
been.
A
You
know
appointed
that
it
is
important
to
us
and
we
saw
the
value
conservation
authority
bring
to
us,
especially
someone
like
myself,
who've
been
through
two
major
floods
in
my
community
and
also
we
go
through.
You
know
the
floods
other
than
just
those
major
floods,
so
they
do
a
great
job
in
our
community
and-
and
I
I
want
to
touch
something
steve
mentioned-
there's
member
of
the
community
or
community
members
who
are
really
passionate
about
being
on
the
conservation
authority.
They
have
the
experience
they
have
the
environmental
background.
A
They
have
some
water
engineer
like
the
the
the
the
woman
who
shared
mississippi
valley,
conservation,
she's,
a
environmental
engineer
by
by
trade,
and
she
volunteered
her
time
to
be
there.
So
I'm
not
sure
anyway.
Obviously
the
politic
is
is
a
different
game,
but
we
did
what
we
can
as
a
municipality.
We
we
submit
our
letters
through
through
our
general
manager
on
november
25th
and,
I
hope
other
I'm
sure,
other
municipalities
they
did
the
same.
A
I
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
good
morning.
Everyone,
my
name,
is
angela
coleman,
I'm
the
general
manager
secretary,
treasurer
of
south
nation
conservation
authority.
As
members
I've
mentioned,
we've
enjoyed
the
really
excellent
working
relationship
with
the
city
of
ottawa
and
that's
been
hugely
important
for
a
number
of
environmental
ecological
as
well
as
benefits
for
the
the
community
at
large.
I
think
the
staff
did
an
excellent
job
covering
the
points
in
the
presentation.
I
think
garrett's
presentation
is
very
similar
to
the
presentation
I've
given
out
there.
I
As
you
know,
this
matter
was
referred
to
standing
committee
standing
committee
at
the
provincial
level
and
that
ended
on
yesterday.
Actually
so
the
deadline
for
submissions
was
yesterday
as
well.
I
know
that
conservation
ontario
did
a
very
thorough
presentation
and
we
were
very
fortunate
to
have
received
very
positive
submissions
and
support
that
are
similar
to
the
concerns
that
have
been
identified
at
at
many
municipal
levels.
So,
as
you
know,
and
as
received
with
this
presentation,
amo
provided
a
very
good
summary.
I
The
thrust
of
what
people
are
asking
for,
if
something
less
than
full
revocation
of
this
schedule.
Six
of
the
the
budget
schedule
is
simply
that
if
it's
not
revoked
entirely
that
a
number
of
key
comments
and
and
consideration
be
considered
on
the
move
forward
basis-
and
you
know
the
crux
of
those
are
three
things
we
talked
about.
I
And
then,
of
course,
there
remains
a
bucket
category
of
public
safety
concerns.
We
all
know
that
the
ottawa
river
and
on
our
watershed,
the
st
lawrence
river
as
well.
We
are
experiencing
unprecedented
flows
and
that's
true
across
the
great
lakes
as
well,
and
we
really
need
to
know
that
the
decisions
that
affect
public
safety
and
property
are
made
in
a
way
that
are
going
to
be
protective
of
the
citizens
and
the,
as
well
as
the
economic
interests
of
our
towns
and
cities
across
the
province.
I
So
I
I
really
do
want
to
thank
the
opportunity
to
attend
at
iraq
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
other
specific
questions,
and
I
can
also
provide
a
quick
verification
that,
yes,
in
fact,
councillor
lou
loft,
was
replaced
by
councilor
kitts
when
she
was
able
to
join
us.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
thank
you
for
again
the
opportunity,
as
well
as
the
work
of
staff
at
the
city,
to
make
all
of
these
presentations
come
together
in
in
a
quick
and
and
efficient
manner.
A
A
A
I
can
be
added
to
the
agenda
of
december
3rd
2020
meeting
of
agriculture
and
rural
affairs
committee
pursuant
to
procedural
by-law,
subsection
89
3,
as
the
matter
needed
to
be
considered
by
the
council
in
a
timely
manner,
and
there
is
only
one
more
council
meeting
in
2020..
So
can
we
waive
the
rule
procedure
to
receive
this
item?
E
Thank
you
very
much.
Members
of
the
committee
might
remember
a
an
item
that
we
dealt
with
not
long
ago
on
the
goldberg
wetland
complex
and
through
that
we
made
some
changes
to
what
the
report
was
recommending
and,
as
a
result,
there
was
a
property
that
got
caught
in
that
that
was
in
the
middle
of
a
a
site
plan
a
site
plan
control
application.
E
E
So
just
read
it
out
so,
whereas
the
process
ontario
has
approved,
wetland
has
approved
changes
to
the
boundary
of
the
provincial,
significant
cool
band,
wetland,
globe
and
wetland
complex
on
the
property
at
6776,
rothburn
road
and
whereas
the
area
is
designated
as
a
simple
wetland
at
6776,
rothburn
road
on
official
plan
schedule.
A
are
no
longer
consistent
with
the
boundaries
of
the
provincial
parentally,
significant
wetland.
And
whereas
the
draft
official
plan
released
november,
20th
2020
seeks
to
make
the
stiffened
wetland
designation
consistent
with
the
boundaries
of
the
provincially
sickening
wetland
complex.
E
Whereas
the
owner
of
6776
rothburn
road,
the
city,
the
mississippi
valley
conservation
authority,
mapped
and
agreed
upon
the
new
wetland
boundary
on
the
property
with
the
city
and
the
mbca
agreeing
to
consider
a
crossing
of
the
wetland
at
a
point
where
the
wetland
narrowed
to
the
width
of
the
hazelling
municipal
drain
and
whereas
the
new
wetland
boundary
with
the
proposed
crossing
would
increase
the
developable
area
of
the
property
and
therefore
be
it
resolved
that
the
agricultural
rural
affairs
committee
recommend.
The
council
supports
the
redesignation
by
the
local
planning
by
the
local
planning
appeal
tribunal.
E
Lpat
of
those
areas
of
property
at
6776,
rothburn
road,
no
longer
identified
by
the
province's
provincial,
significant
wetland
from
significant
wetland
to
general
rural
area,
as
well
as
the
proposed
crossing
and
two
the
rezoning
by
the
lpat
of
those
property
of
those
areas
of
the

see
none
other
business
now,
so
our
next

is
going

be

Before
we
adjourn,
I
would
like
to
wish
you
our
staff,
the
the
resident
who's
listening
to
us
and
to
you

Merry
christmas

happy
holidays
to
all
of
you,
and
hopefully
I
know
2020
was
a
rough
year
on
all
of
us,
so
hopefully
2021
will
be
a
brighter
year
to
all
