D
Whereas
at
the
time
of
agenda
21
leave
the
office
of
the
land,
registrar
at
Ottawa
had
not
yet
completed
its
review
and
acceptance
for

approximately
a
dozen

and

As
part
of
the
description
of
the
properties
and
property
interests
set
out
in
schedule.
D
1
of
the
expropriation
bylaw
attached
is
document

to
the
report
and
whereas
the
office
of
the
land
registrar

has
since
accepted
the

plans
for

and
they
have
been
registered
as

which
includes
the
necessary
references
to
plan
for
our
29
750
and
plan
for
our
29
751.
B
Ok,
so
that's
a
technical
requirement.
This
is
the
last
piece
of
the
puzzle
for
our
in
storm
sewer
the
Ottawa
River
action
plan,
which
were
very
excited
I
think
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks,
we'll
be
digging
ground
on
it.
So
any
questions
on
the
amendment
by
councillor
tereshchenko
on
the
motion
carried
on
the
report
as
amended
and
update,
see
a
delegation
of
authority
acquisition
and
sale
of
land
and
property
April
1st
2016
to
June
30th
2016
received
planning
infrastructure
and
economic
development
department,
Bell's
corners
BIA,
those
corners
committee
improvement
plan.
B
We
have
for
us
because
it
gives
me
on
that.
So
we'll
come
back
to
that
Innovation
Centre
at
Bayview
yards
guarantor,
a
request
for
commercial
bank
financing.
This
allows
the
group
to
get
a
lower
interest
rate
with
us
being
the
guarantor
great
item.
Ten
brownfields
grant
program
application,
500,
Preston,
Street,
carried.
B
B
In
camera
items
we
have
none.
So
we'll
go
back
to
the
first
item
that
we
have
a
delegation
for
which
is
the
bells
coroner's,
Community,
Improvement,
Plan
and
we'll
ask
just
Chris
cope
to
come
forward
to
the
table.
If
there
are
any
questions
just
for
sake
of
members
of
council,
this
was
a
an
issue
that
I
was
very
supportive
of
inand.
B
In
fact,
in
the
last
election
campaign,
I
made
a
commitment
that
the
next
natural
CIP
application
should
come
from
the
Bell's
Corners
area,
because
it
is
going
through
a
period
of
transition,
and
we
have
one
speaker,
I
believe,
and
we
received
one
letter
in
support
of
the
maybe
mr.
Moser
and
cope.
You
can
give
us
a
brief
overview
and
then
we'll
ask
our
delegation
Alex,
Lewis
and
I
think
this
may
be
Alex's
last
appearance
before
committee,
because
he
is
going
on
to
be
a
police
officer,
I
believe
in
a
First
Nations
community
in
Northern
Ontario.
B
E
You
chair
this
program
is
a
Community
Improvement
Plan
program,
similar
to
programs.
We've
done
a
carving
in
Orleans,
where
we
would
be
permitted
under
the
Planning
Act
to
provide
grants
for
commercial
property
owners
who
improve
their
properties
significantly
and
sufficiently
to
increase
taxes.
The
form
of
grant
is
a
single
one
in
this
case,
and
it
would
be
based
on
75%
of
the
municipal
portion
of
the
tax
increase
each
year
to
a
maximum
of
five
million
dollars.
Now
we
believe
in
bells
corners.
The
tongue
is
absolutely
perfect.
E
We
think
having
a
combination
of
new
businesses
and
new
development
in
there
will
bring
more
customers
and
add
that
to
the
influx
of
DnB
residents,
their
stories,
new
residents,
but
also
workers
coming
into
the
new
D&D
site.
On
Moody
Drive,
we
think
the
time
is
absolutely
perfect
for
Bell's
corners
to
sort
of
turn
itself
around,
because
it
has
had
a
somewhat
difficult
past,
in
particular
some
of
the
restaurant
businesses
that
have
come
and
gone
and
come
and
gone
and
so
on.
B
That's
a
very
good
overview
and
I
think
we'll
ask
Jim
and
Alex
to
come
forward.
I
believe
if
we
serve
those
to
keep
those
two
seats
over
there
or
maybe
John
you
could
just
move
over
one
and
we'll
have
Jim
and
and
Alex
come
forward
and
I
know
if
you've
heard
on
CBC
radio
this
morning,
Jim
did
an
interview
is
a
very
good
piece
on
the
CIP
on
on
CBC
and
I.
Think
you
went
down
memory
lane
and
served
some
of
the
you
know
ebbs
and
flows.
B
We
all
remember
IKEA
when
it
was
at
Bell's
corners
and
that
was
a
great
destination
and
obviously,
with
that
property
moving
to
Pine
Crest
its
created
a
little
bit
of
a
void,
but
with
the
D
and
D
employees.
Moving
in
there's
another
wonderful
opportunity
for
that
community,
so
Alex
and
Jim
the
floor
is
yours
for
five
minutes.
F
There
we
go
good
morning,
mr.
mayor
councillors
and
staff
on
behalf
of
the
330
members
in
number
of
businesses
which
comprise
with
the
businesses
on
the
property
owners.
Allow
me
to
first
say
thank
you
for
allowing
us
the
opportunity
to
speak
on
the
proposed
Bell's
corner
CIP,
some
of
you
as
the
mayor
identify
this
was
a
campaign
promise
and
we'd
like
to
say
thank
you
for
giving
it
to
this
point.
F
On
the
bass,
corners
B
I
spent
approximately
$40,000
of
our
own
money
on
a
cent
that
an
RFP
for
the
completion
of
a
retail
gap,
analysis
study
and
to
date.
This
is
this
completed.
Study
has
been
a
road
map
to
success
and
many
of
the
priority
and
desire
the
business
is
identified
by
customers
through
intercepts
surveys.
We've
gone
after
and
in
many
cases,
managed
to
secure
permanent
home
in
our
area,
and
these
include
two
gym
facilities,
a
microbrewery
and
some
drastic
changes
to
our
restaurant
landscape.
F
Today,
you
all
have
before
you
a
proposal
to
offer
our
area
one
valuable
tool
in
our
toolbox
of
success
and
through
the
hard
work
of
city
staff
and
economic
development.
We've
identified
several
key
properties
which
are
being
significantly
underutilized
or
not
utilized
at
all
and
the
next
step
for
goals.
Corner's
needs
to
be
urban
renewal
and
transfer
transformation,
and
the
bottom
line
is:
we
need
more
residents
to
support
our
businesses
and
we
need
and
we
need
and
want
more
jobs.
F
Even
if
all
these
improvements,
we've
spearheaded
the
current
conditions
of
those
corners
show,
deterioration
and
deterioration
runs
the
risk
of
ruining
the
unique
characteristics
and
positive
attributes
of
our
community.
So,
on
behalf
of
the
bells
chorus,
BIA
I'd
like
to
ask
you
to
support
this
and
I'll
pass
it
over
to
our
chairman
of
the
board.
G
Mr.
mayor
councillors,
city
staff
and
Alix
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
potentially
undertake
a
CIP
for
those
corners.
What
we've
seen
to
date
with
the
two
public
consultations
we
had
there,
one
business
and
property
owner
consultation
and
one
for
residents.
There
is
a
strong
desire
for
community
development
in
those
corners,
and
the
BIA
has
been
shouldering
a
lot
of
that
responsibility.
And
now
it's
has
been
working
very
hard
to
to
try
and
upgrade
the
business
situation
in
those
corners,
but
we
feel,
as
CIP
would
go
a
long
way.
G
We
feel
that
this
proposal
is
is
a
fair
one
and
swall
thought
outs
been
very
well
investigated
by
by
city
staff,
there's
been
an
increased
focus
on
public
attention
on
local
and
community
municipal
initiatives
such
as
transit
oriented
development
and
desire
to
collectively
utilize
our
green
space
in
a
more
inclusive
and
environmentally
friendly
fashion.
What
we
need
to
do
now
is
to
narrow
that
scope,
and,
unlike
the
previous
studies,
that
Alex
mentioned,
we
actually
need
to
implement
a
lot
of
the
recommendations.
G
A
CFP
for
those
corners
will
foster
the
creation
of
new
jobs,
promoting
true
growth,
as
opposed
to
just
moving
jobs
from
one
neighborhood
to
another.
We
need
to
start
ensuring
that
those
corners
is
competitive,
see
wide
and
globally,
not
just
competing
with
other
neighborhoods.
This
may
be
the
stage
one
for
the
city,
and
this
is
seven
years
in
the
making
for
our
businesses.
As
mayor
Watson
mentioned,
I've
been
investors
now,
with
my
business
for
over
25
years
and
saw
what
Bell
corners
was
at
the
beginning
was
a
draw
like
IKEA
being
in
the
mix.
H
Thank
You
mr.
man
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
Alex
and
for
his
work
on
behalf
your
BIA
on
out
of
a
Council
of
BIA
yeah.
You
did
a
great
job
taking
us
where
we
are
today,
and
it
is
our
city
laws,
but
it's
our
province
game
for
when
a
police
officer
somewhere
else
in
the
province.
We
want
to
wish
you
all
the
best
and
your
successor
on
our
council
bah
all
the
best
and
I
know
they
will
have
a
big
shoot
to
fill.
So.
Thank
you
again
for
your
thing.
Thanks.
A
You
worship,
just
following
up
on
that
I
think
alex,
has
done
a
tremendous
job
at
unite
the
business
community
in
those
corners
and
making
them
understand
that
things
are
getting
better
and
have
a
chance
to
get
much
better
very
soon.
It's
also
fitting
I
think
that
this
is
his
last
official
act
as
executive
director
of
the
BIA.
After
this
he
goes
to
retool
all
tomorrow
to
be
honored
by
the
Governor
General
and
then
it's
off
to
a
Police,
College,
so
I
think
it's
the
timing
on
this
is
almost
poetic
and
I.
I
You
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I'm
surprised
Jim
that
it's
only
25
years
that
your
business
have
been
there,
because
it
feels
like
longer
than
that.
That
means
that
I
was
there
is
a
lot
longer
to
herman
yeah
well,
I
think
when
I
was
the
counselor
for
about
scorners
at
the
after
amalgamation.
You
know
it's
something
that
the
business
community
really
started
to
come
together
then,
and
that's
before
you
have
the
official,
BIA
and
I
think
our
first
major
win
was
the
Northside
Road
for
sure
and
how
controversial
that
was
in
the
community.
I
I
Oh
absolutely,
but
it
was
the
right
thing
to
do
so.
I
think
that
very
sorry
to
see
Alex
go
I
mean
I,
know
with
my
daughter
who
is
executive
director
of
the
White
Haven
Business
Improvement
area
on
you,
and
she
had
worked
really
well
together.
I've
appreciated
your
input
on
many
issues,
but
I
think
that
leaving
it
time
with
Jim
in
his
history,
you
know
it'll.
It
will
go
very,
very
well.
So
good
luck,
I
think
it's
like
you
said,
perfect
timing.
B
B
J
Thank
You.
Mr.
mayor,
we
have
a
very
brief
presentation
summarizing
the
results
of
the
report
in
front
of
you,
which
includes
where
our
position
our
actual
position
at
the
end
of
June
and
the
forecast
for
the
end
of
the
year.
For
both
that
tax
and
rate
is
about
jasmin,
the
deputy
city
treasurer
will
be
taking
you
through
those.
K
Thank
You
Marion,
so
for
the
q2
Styles
report,
the
Courteney
operating
capital
status
reports
are
prepared
as
part
of
the
reporting
framework
approved
by
council.
The
year-end
forecasts
are
also
presented
in
the
second
quarter
of
the
report.
So
the
report
that
came
out
with
the
second
quarter
also
includes
a
forecast
to
the
end
of
the
year.
It
does
not
include
the
results
for
our
boards
commissions.
Those
are
presented
in
separate
report,
so
transit
police
public
health
library
are
not
included
in
these
results.
K
So,
overall,
as
of
June
30th
we're
showing
a
surplus
in
the
tax
support
programs
of
three
million
dollars
and,
in
the
rate
supported
program
of
1.6
million
dollars
for
a
total
of
four
point:
seven
and
we're
forecasting
to
the
end
of
the
year.
At
six
point:
five:
there
is
a
deficit
in
the
city
operations
and
I'll
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
later,
primarily
because
of
winter
operations,
but
that's
offset
by
surpluses
in
the
non
departmental
area
and
also
an
additional
assessment
growth.
K
So
for
the
20s,
the
June
30th
results,
the
the
2016
budget
adjust
many
of
the
systemic
budget
pressures.
So
what
when
you
are
reporting
against
these
results?
We've
included
changes
that
we
made
in
the
2016
budget
and
those
key
changes
were
additional
funding
for
WSI,
because
those
costs
were
rising
and
we
made
sure
to
include
additional
funding
for
those
costs,
and
we
also
added
more
for
vacancy
provisions
in
the
24/7
operations
in
the
rate
supported
area
because
of
trends
and
water
consumption,
we
adjusted
it
and
lowered
the
the
it
based
on
actual
experience.
K
So
the
rate
budget
reflects
more
of
recent
trends
and
water
consumption
in
terms
of
the
actual
June
30th
results:
those
3.1
million
dollars
surplus
for
tax,
supported
programs,
the
city
operations
deficit
of
ten
point,
four
million
dollars,
is
primarily
from
winter
maintenance
cost.
There
were
significant
December
storms
cleanup
in
dis
in
2016,
and
also
a
record
snowfall
in
February
February
16th
that
was
actually
offset
by
digital
savings.
In
the
non
departmental
area.
We
have
two
million
dollars
from
the
elimination
of
the
36
positions.
K
We
had
budgeted
a
million
and
we
actually
came
in
with
two
million
because
it
we
budgeted
for
part
year
and
it
ended
up
being
a
full
year
of
36
positions.
Savings.
We
also
have
two
point:
four
million
dollars
in
hydro
dividends
above
budget
and
then
1.9
million
dollars
in
additional
investment
income
penalty
and
interest
in
Provincial
Offences
Act
revenues.
We
also
have
a
million
in
payments
and
lieu
of
taxes.
We
also
have
the
4.2
million
provision
from
additional
assessment
growth.
At
the
tax
ratios
report.
K
So
in
terms
of
the
forecast
we
have
surpluses
in
some
areas,
we
have
deficits
in
others,
I'll
start
with
the
surpluses
in
solid
waste.
We
have
a
million
dollars
Planning
and
infrastructure,
a
million
and
in
program
support
0.6
in
the
non
departmental
accounts
same
as
I
talked
about
in
the
previous
slides.
Only
we're
forecasting
the
end
we've
added
an
extra
three
million
dollars
in
investment
income.
Additional
assessment
growth
is
also
relevant
for
the
end
of
the
year.
K
So
in
terms
of
deficits,
the
city
operations
in
total
is
fifteen
point.
Seven
million
dollars
in
deficit.
Public
books
is
ten
point:
six
million
dollars
fire
services,
three
point
eight
and
sorry.
Public
Works
is
primarily
primarily
the
winter
maintenance
operations.
Fire
Services
is
an
increase
in
WSIB
costs
and
then
we
have
Parks
and
Rec
of
0.7,
which
is
decrease
in
revenues
and
then
in
the
ninth
dependent
non-departmental
area,
we
have
a
reduction
of
0.7
million
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
the
Rideau
Carleton
slot
revenues.
K
So
the
risk
areas
in
the
forecast
are
primarily
for
other
WSIB
costs.
There's
PTSD,
post-traumatic
stress
disorders
that
have
been
included
as
a
qualifying
for
WSIB
costs.
We
just
don't
have
estimates
for
those.
Currently,
the
winter
forecast
right
now
assumes
a
normal
November
December.
So
if
we
have
any
large
snowfalls
that
is
not
accounted
for
and
but
it
is
based
on
actual
normal
November
and
December
winter
hiring
and
discretionary
expenditure
freeze
also
remains.
In
effect,
we
also
talked
about
the
efficiencies
in
the
budget.
K
We've
included
reductions
in
spending
discretionary
expenditure,
reductions
of
four
point:
eight
million
dollars-
and
currently
we
are
on
track
with
those
were
actually
$900,000
below
budget.
The
administrative
review,
as
I
mentioned,
the
35
tees,
were
eliminated
early
on,
so
we
had
actually
two
million
dollar
savings
there
and
then
departmental
specific
reductions
were
also
achieved
and
then
also
in
the
revenue
improvements
we're
achieving
those
in
the
for
those
that
we
can't
we
will
come
and
we
will
manage
those
throughout
the
budget.
K
In
terms
of
the
service
review
programs,
the
administrative
restructuring
the
50
FTEs
were
eliminated,
there's
also
a
large
restructuring
in
July
and
we're
continuing
to
restructure
the
effects
of
those
will
be
in
the
2017
budget,
the
rationalization
of
accommodations
that
now
reports
under
the
general
manager
of
corporate
services,
and
that
is
an
ongoing
effort
to
rationalize
overall
accommodations
for
the
city
summer
student
program.
Any
deficiencies
identified
there
will
be
reflected
in
the
2017
budget
fleet
services
also
now
reports
to
general
manager,
corporate
services
and
their.
K
What
we're
looking
for
is
an
optimal
feet,
replacement
strategy
and
any
savings.
There
would
be
reflected
in
the
2017
budget
for
winter
operations.
There
was
a
report
that
was
approved
in
July
and
for
paramedic
services.
There
is
a
review
underway
and
parts
buildings
and
grounds
there's
a
review
with
recommendations.
It
would
be
part
of
the
2017
budget.
I
You,
mr.
mayor
and
yes,
it
was
a
much
better
report
than
we'll
be
looking
at
for
last
year.
So
thank
you
very
much.
I
have
a
question.
It
doesn't
include
librarian,
police
etc,
as
you
said,
but
we
did
include
the
benefit
that
we
got
from
hydro
Ottawa,
so
I'm
just
asking
you
must
have
a
sense
of
how
they're
doing
and
what
kind
of
an
impact
to
the
overall
picture.
Do
you
have
any
sense
of
that
right
now,
you're.
J
I
Great
news
and
the
other
thing
I
have
food.
This
is
probably
a
question
war
for
mr.
Xiang
yay,
because
you
did
allude
to
Rick
doing
some
program
reviews
but
having
the
reduction
in
the
the
money,
the
revenue
from
programming
that
concerns
me,
because
we
actually,
we
also
had
an
increase
in
the
the
new
bodies.
If
you
will
in
the
city
there's
a
line
there,
2.4
million
or
something
like
that.
I
L
In
the
point,
seven,
seven
hundred
thousand
that
you
see
in
revenue
shortage
for
Parks
and
Recreation,
no
two
main
components
to
that.
The
first
is
the
the
perennial
sponsorship
shortage
in
revenue
and
by
year-end
that
will
appear
the
in
another
budget,
because
it's
being
moved
out
of
Parks
and
Recreation
in
the
sponsorship
of
the
sponsorship
funding.
L
The
second
half
about
four
hundred
thousand
that
does
remain
in
parks.
Recreation
culture
is
primarily
arena.
Rental
revenue,
it's
tracking
right
now
to
be
about
two
hundred
two
million
dollars
short
of
projected
revenue,
part
of
the
mitigation
for
that
you'll
recall
earlier
this
year,
Council
approved
the
new
allocations
policy
that
includes
a
new
cancellation
period
and
some
new
procedures
for
bookings.
We
think
that
that
will
start
to
mitigate
this
fall
because
it's
now
being
implemented
for
this
fall.
L
I
You
so
when
you're
talking
about
the
review
that
you're
going
to
do
on
the
on
their
links
themselves,
you
I
think
has
that
started
the
review
that
you're
doing
of
the
various
facilities,
what
the
operating
car
costs,
all
that
the
use
cost
is
and
whether
or
not
we
can
close
some
and
invest
in
others.
That.
L
Has
just
started:
we
are
looking
at
the
level
of
operation
for
each
of
the
rinks.
We
are
looking
at
how
to
consolidate
things
into
funeral
Reno's,
especially
during
offseason,
to
start
saving
money,
as
well
as
part
of
the
reorganization
announced
in
July.
We
are
bringing
in
the
operating
side
of
that
that
was
previously
under
Public
Works
and
we
are
starting
to
look
at
operational
efficiencies
between
what
was
previously
public
work,
staff
and
Recreation
staff
just
to
drive
down
those
those
expenses
and.
I
Would
you
look
at
something
like,
for
example,
when,
when
the
rinks
are
down
at
like
new,
take
up
sports,
for
example
in
dorm,
BMX
or
indoor
skateboarding
or
or
or
the
like,
or
what
do
we
used
to
call
it?
Roller
skating
that
kind
of
thing
1967
I
worked
at
Apple,
my
manager,
a
manager
comp
us
in
1967,
and
we
had
odor
Paul
and
he
had
a
roller
skating
and
it
was
so
successful.
I'm.
Just
saying
these
are
some
trends
that
are
changing.
We.
L
Are
seeing
a
resurgence
and
roller
skating
and
roller
derby
as
a
summer
use,
but
we
are
looking
at
other
investments
that
would
allow
us,
during
the
offseason
to
repurpose
arena
floors
for
other
programs,
everything
from
courts,
indoor
tennis
to
Edmonton
to
all
those
other
kinds
of
things.
So,
yes,
we're
looking
at
a
strategy
of
how
to
aggressively
market
offseason
ice
time
to
to
a
different
client
group
and.
L
I
McNair
is
doing
in
his
shop
on
the
looking
at
every
one
of
our
facilities
is
that
are
you
going
to
cross
each
other
on
that,
because
I
I
would
think
that
that
work,
that
investigation
he's
doing
looking
at
the
Walter
Baker
making
sure
it's
maximize
the
opportunities
they're
looking
at
the
state
a
better
place,
will
you
be
working
with
him
on
that?
Yes,.
L
We
are
already
engaged
with
mr.
McGuire's
team
in
looking
at
underutilized
space
and
recreation
facilities
and
look
yet
how
to
repurpose
them,
either
through
direct
programming
and
relocating
of
direct
programming
through
outside
uses.
If
there's
an
opportunity
to
do
that
in
some
cases,
that
is
the
best
option.
So,
yes,
we
are
looking
about
as
well
as
current
tenants
and
our
building
and
the
level
of
their
tendency
in
our
building
and
how
that
is
working
because
it
is
fairly
uneven
across
the
city.
Thank.
B
Counselor
I
should
also
point
out
what
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
the
work
that
they've
done
with
our
budget
review
group,
which
was
an
idea
of
councilor
egg
Y
and
councilor
hubely
and
Cloutier
have
been
very
good
at
collectively
keeping
our
feet
to
the
fire
to
ensure
that
we
don't
end
up
in
a
situation
where,
as
I
said,
that
the
last
budget
review
process,
we
run
out
of
runway
to
correct
a
problem
that
we
see
early
on.
So
council
hubely
includes
you
have
been
very
helpful
and
that
was
an
initiative
from
Kel.
B
H
You
thank
you,
sir
man
and
man.
Approaches
like
number.
Nine
on
I'm
just
have
a
question
about
about
the
the
provincial
announcement.
So
do
we
know
what's
that
name
and
Donna
rice
through
our
city,
because
this
is
a
huge
across
the
province
and
I
hear
from
my
colleagues
and
other
municipalities.
So
can
you
just
tell
me
what
number
would
be
look?
Matt
I.
J
Wish
I
could
tell
you
what
number
we're
going
to,
but
this
will
be
something
that
only
will
become
aware
of.
As
the
claims
are
being
made.
We
don't
have
any
way
to
know
how
many
first
responders
feel
that
they
are
suffering
from
PTSD.
It's
it's
not
really
something.
That's
been
well
trapped
in
the
past,
so
it's
the
both
the
post-traumatic
stress
disorder
and
the
continuation
of
adding
on
more
cancers
for
the
firefighters,
that's
causing
the
big
pressure
in
WS
IV
costs
for
us,
so
I'm,
sorry,
counselor
I,
don't
have
any
idea.
H
J
I'd
have
to
get
confirmation
on
that,
but
I
understand
that
the
process
is
with
WSIB
as
a
schedule:
2
employer.
They
basically
make
a
determination
and,
and
then
we
we
pay
the
costs.
So
I
don't
know
if
there's
an
ability
and
I'll
check
with
mr.
Davonte,
whether
in
fact
we
could
put
it
towards
our
great-west
life
and
ask
them
to
verify
or
two
that
I
would
suspect.
Wsib
would
not
take
kindly
to
having
their
opinion
second-guessed,
but
we'll
look
into
that.
Okay.
H
J
Was
we
had
forecasted
to
be
one
point?
Three,
it
came
in
higher.
It
generated
an
additional
4.2
million
in
taxation
revenue,
which
we
just
parked
in
non-departmental
that
4.2
million
will
be
allocated
to
those
tax
rates
that
generated
including
police,
including
transit
and
the
city.
So
that
will
be
split.
J
That's
a
2016
effect
we're
still
looking
at
1.3
for
2017,
based
on
what
we're
seeing
so
far,
but
we
only
know
what's
coming
in
when
we
get
the
supplementary
assessment
rolls
in
and
we
can
have
a
look,
how
much
more
assessment
has
impact
added
in
because
this
was
a
reassessment
year
though
I
can
tell
you
impacts
focus
has
not
been
necessarily
on
adding
properties
but
making,
certainly
not
the
values
that
are
going
out
or
correct.
So
this
may
be.
J
H
J
M
Thank
You
mr.
Murphy,
and
like
to
thank
staff
for
their
work
on
this
I
know.
It's
been
quite
a
struggle
to
get
get
us
into
a
surplus
position
and
there's
taken
a
lot
of
effort.
I
have
a
couple
questions,
one,
the
on
page
13,
where
you
lists
16
jobs
being
further
evaluated.
It's
not
the
16
jobs
that
you're,
showing
as
eliminating.
M
M
Different
okay,
thank
you,
the
other,
of
course,
I
have
and
I'll
speak
to
mr.
Cadillac,
as
if
I
could
we
fully
support
and
really
appreciate
the
work
you
did
on
realigning
the
organization
from
the
top
and
the
savings
that
that's
produced,
but
also
the
more
more
the
focus
on
the
core
services
of
the
cities
trying
to
deliver.
We
see
up
here
that
Public
Works
is
again
the
you
know,
top
of
the
list
with
the
ten
point,
eight
million
dollar
deficit.
M
N
N
However,
all
the
departments
are
now
currently
under
a
review
in
terms
of
the
next
step
of
the
realignment
which
will
be
part
of
the
2017
budget
and
that's
where
you'll
start
seeing
the
results
of
the
outcomes
relating
to
the
departments
and
how
how
the
departments
actually
become
leaner
and
more
cost
efficient.
So
you'll
see
the
financial
results
of
that
in
another
month
and
a
half
or
so
okay.
N
Through
the
mayor
we,
as
was
tabled
I,
believe
last
year
at
the
budget
there
was
projected
deficit
of
approximate
such
budget
shortfall
over
thirty
five
million
I
believe
in
the
report
that
was
identified
going
into
2017.
That's
the
number
that
management
is
now
chasing
in
terms
of
balancing
the
budget
and
dealing
with
that.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
combination
of
solutions
is
not
just
gonna,
be
based
on
the
on
the
realignment
and
the
next
step
of
realignment,
probably
further
than
that.
N
Counselor
would
would
want
I
think
in
terms
of
in
terms
of
not
impacting
services.
So
we've
been
working
with
the
treasurer
and
all
the
general
managers
to
define
a
multitude
of
solutions,
including
the
realignment
to
have
been
back
a
balanced
budget
which
I
believe
are
going
to
be
able
to
do
for
2017
and
2018.
Can't.
I
B
Just
on
that,
one
of
the
concerns
that
some
members
of
council
raised
was
that
this
exercise
would
hurt
frontline
services.
Have
there
been
any
reductions
to
frontline
services?
Mr.
Cadillac,
yes,
as
a
result
of
this
report,
now
absolutely
not
mr.
ma'am.
Okay,
thank
you,
councilor
blade!
Please
thanks.
A
J
Actually,
what
drove
that
difference
was
the
deputy
treasurer
of
Revenue
got
on
the
phone
to
impac
and
told
them
they
needed
to
get
the
Lansdowne
assessment
on
there,
so
they
fast
track
that.
So
that's
what
made
the
difference
is
really
those
properties
got
added
on
earlier
than
we
thought
they
would
have.
So
we
didn't
expect
to
see
them
on
the
return
for
for
2016.
We
thought
they
come
in
as
a
SUP,
but
they
in
fact
got
it
on.
J
D
D
If
the
city
was
open
to
it
and
the
sense
I
perfer
AC
or
did,
the
sense
was
that
managers
of
those
buildings
who,
although
they
definitely
have
a
responsibility
to
protect
that
asset,
seem
to
be
a
little
too
protective,
not
as
open
as
they
could
be
almost
as,
if
you
know
protective
of
their
own
territory,
not
wanted
to
see
something
new
happen.
That
opportunities
were
being
lost
there
for
the
city
to
gain
some
revenue
and
for
renewable
energy
projects
to
to
be
put
in.
D
Of
course,
mr.
Shea
is
there
that
can
apply
to
parks
and
rec
facilities.
Arenas
pools
rec,
community
centers
are
obvious
ones,
but
of
course,
as
many
other
city
buildings
as
well
so
I
suppose
I
bring
that
comment.
You
may
have
a
response
to
that
at
the
moment,
but
just
like
I've
been
hearing
now
from
a
number
of
sources,
including
my
conversations
with
higher
Ottawa
as
well
as
we've
tried
to
roll
out
this
council
commitment
from
a
previous
council
to
have
20
rooftops
and
we're
not
even
close
to
having
those
20.
J
J
Shanley
is,
is
the
occupant
and
he's
responsible
for
looking
after
the
buildings
that
he's
in,
but
really
the
corporate
landlord
functions
so
has
been
established,
and
his
objective
is
to
both
rationalize
our
facilities,
but
also
to
optimize
the
use
of
our
facilities,
and
so
that
would
include
things
like
solar
panels
on
rooftops,
so
that
is
now
under
his
jurisdiction,
so
hopefully
with
consolidating
not
making
one
group
accountable
responsible
for
it.
You'll
see
some
action
on
that
file.
A
J
In
long-term
care,
it's
basically,
they
are
really
a
24/7
operations.
When
you
have
someone
falling
sick,
you
can't
leave
that
position
vacant.
There
have
to
be
so
many
people
on
the
ward
working
with
the
residents,
so
you
have
to
bring
someone
in
we
had
built
in
in
previous
years,
the
same
as
we
do
for
all
other
departments,
a
vacancy
provision,
so
they
we're
not
getting
their
full
allocation
of
compensation
dollars
that
was
being
reduced
by
that
vacancy
provision.
J
So
last
year
we
recognized
the
fact
that
that
this
was
causing
our
perpetual
deficit
because
they
never
could
meet
that
vacancy
provision,
because
they're
always
calling
staffing.
So
we
started
to
rectify
it
in
the
2016
budget.
It
will
be
fully
rectified
changed
in
the
2017
budget
in
paramedics.
It's
a
combination
of
the
same
thing.
They
have.
They
cannot
leave
a
position
on
staffed
in
ambulances
have
to
go
out,
so
they
call
people
in
so
they
don't
have.
J
A
Thank
you.
So
are
we
seeing
just
with
respect
to
that?
You
know
the
call
in
sick,
so
we
see
a
corresponding
increase
above
the
norm,
which
was
always
higher
than
I.
Think
other
shops
in
you
know,
city
staff,
going
on
long
term,
disability
and
those
two
departments
that
a
higher
rate
or
a
faster
rate
than
not.
J
That
I'm,
aware
of
but
that's
a
question,
I'll
have
to
take
back
and
further
research,
because
I
I,
don't
I,
don't
know.
I
haven't
heard
anything
that
would
say
there
different,
but
we
know
in
paramedics,
for
example.
Yes,
they
have
a
higher
incidence
of
illness,
just
the
nature
of
work,
but
I
don't
think
they
do
in
long-term
care.
But
I'll
get
back
to
you
and
both
of
those
questions.
Okay,.
G
Mr.
mayor
so
read
through
the
whole
motion,
but
the
intent
of
the
motion
is,
of
course,
2017
is
150th
birthday.
We
do
have
a
citywide
fund
set
aside.
The
community
groups
can
apply
to,
but
I've
certainly
heard
a
lot
of
exciting
and
interesting
ideas.
Coming
from
my
area,
I
sat
down.
I
spoke
to
the
two
teenagers
councillor
Luce
and
say
about
whether
he
was
going
to
be
enough
dollars
in
the
bank
so
to
speak,
and
what
I
would
suggest
if
them
was
currently
in
each
of
our
office
budgets.
G
G
B
C
Thank
you.
Yes.
Yes,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
Sabah
she
has
moved
on
from
is
economic
development
sees
behaved
his
position
on
the
2017
board.
The
motion
speaks
to
that
and
recommends
that
the
that
mr.
Bashir
be
replaced
with
the
manager
started
with
the
manager
of
2017
operations
and
special
events
on
the
board
directors
that
currently
is
held
by
Dan
Brisebois.
So
this
motion
would
merely
just
remove
a
Bashir
and
place
danbury's
behind
the
2017
board
right
on.
