I
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
whereas
report
ACS,
2023
pre-gen
triple
zero.
Six
is
to
provide
information
on
activities
on
planning
real
estate
and
economic
development
department
use
of
delegated
authority,
as
per
the
current
delegation
of
authority
bylaw
within
the
Mandate
of
finance
and
Corporate
Services
committee,
and
whereas
a
technical
amendment
is
required
to
collect
three
errors
and
document.
I
One
of
the
report
therefore
be
it
resolved
that,
with
respect
to
report,
ACS
2023
pre-gen
triple
zero,
six
finance
and
Corporate
Services
committee
amend
document
one
by
one:
substituting:
Bia
expansion,
Grant
with
Bia
anti-graffiti
funding
program
and

substituting
Bia
research
grant
program
with
Bia
search
funding
program
and
three
removing
City
winter
grant
program
from
the
program
with
no
activity.
As
this
was
a
one-time
covid
program
from
2021.
F
J
You
as
part
of
the
report
recommendations,
staff,
have
recommended
a
change
to
our
short-term
borrowing
policy
such
that
it
would
no
longer
be
limited
to
a
static
500
million
dollars
as
an
absolute
number,
but
would
be
dynamic
as
a
percentage
that
new
Dynamic
number
would
be
upwards
of
a
billion
dollars
in
short-term
borrowing
Authority.
If
I
understand
the
report
correctly
in
2022,
we
used
300
and
I'm.
Sorry
I
forget
the
number
320
Million
worth
of
the
room
that
we
had
within
there
I'm
just
wondering
why
staff?
J
K
I,
thank
you
for
the
question,
so
it
has
fluctuated
year
over
year,
I
think
at
maximum.
You
may
have
gotten
to
460.,
and
so
we
do
see,
especially
when
we
get
to
the
year
end
and
just
before
the
tax
roll
comes
in,
we
have
significant
drops
in
cash,
so
these
are
short-term
borrowing
they're,
not
long-term
borrowing.
They
have
to
be
repaid
within
the
year,
and
so
it
just
helps
with
the
cash
flow.
K
J
K
So
what
we're
asking
for
is
it's
part
of
the
policy,
and
so
it's
it's
to
manage
the
ongoing
requirements
and
fluctuations,
and
so
we're
asking
for
approval
at
this
point
to
go
up
to
a
maximum
of
that
number
and
it
is
within
the
municipal
act.
What
the
the
limit
actually
is
and
it's
it
doesn't
vary
throughout
the
year.
The
limit
it's
based
on
the
previous
year's
revenues.
So
we
know
for
the
next
year
what
that
limit
will
be,
and
we
will
we
share.
We
will
share
that
information
with
Council.
That's.
J
What
I'm
wondering
is
the
the
decision
to
exercise
the
authority
to
borrow
that
is
current.
That
currently
is
vested
with
the
mayor
and
CFO
as
a
delegated
authority
without
further
Council
approval,
correct,
okay
and
the?
What
is
the
reporting
mechanism
on
that?
Sorry,
I
didn't
catch
that?
What
is
the
reporting
mechanism
on
that?
That.
C
Through
the
chair,
so
if
you
like,
we
can
report
that
back
on
a
quarterly
basis,
because
we
do
come
forward
with
a
number
of
quarterly
reports
updates
throughout
the
year.
So
when
we
do
exercise
that
we
can
certainly
report
that
back
so
you're
not
wait
until
the
June
time
frame
in
this
report.
So
we
can
give
you
regular
updates.
If
we
do.
Okay.
J
J
K
J
C
J
M
M
The
last
tournament
Council
we
had
some
discussions
around
prudent
investor
status
related
to
some
of
the
Holdings
that
we
have
and
some
Investments,
that
we
continue
in
fossil
fuels,
which
have
been
poor
Investments
for
us,
and
there
was
a
motion
pass
to
look
at
reallocating
those
to
better
Investments
for
the
municipality
more
in
line
with
our
sustainability
targets,
and
it
was
indicated,
then
that
we
had
to
go
to
a
prudent
investor
status
in
order
to
to
do
so
so
I.
Just
if
you
can
update
on
that
one
piece,
given
the
report.
K
Yeah,
so
the
next
very
next
step
is
to
select
the
investment
board,
and
the
very
first
thing
that
will
be
on
the
agenda
for
the
investment
board
is
to
develop
an
investment
policy
that
would
have
to
be
approved
by
Council.
So
it's
the
investment
policy
that
will
dictate
what
we
will
be
investing
in
and
that
will
be
likely
in
the
fall
time
frame.
M
M
Okay
and
that's
appreciated
there
is
this
is
a
change.
Obviously,
in
that
there's
the
the
private
board.
That's
set
up
separately
with
regard
to
our
decisions
on
this,
and
so
I
guess
is.
Are
you
seeing
this
in
a
lot
of
other
municipalities
in
terms
of
best
case
examples?
Is
that
something
that
is
happening
in
most
municipalities,
or
is
this
something
brand
new
that
we're
doing
The
Prudent
yeah
the
board
being
set
up
as
is,
and
then
The
Prudent
investor
status
is
related
to
that?
It's.
K
It's
quite
onerous
process,
and
so
only
the
larger
municipalities
are
doing
it.
The
smaller
ones
are
relying
on
mfoa
and
the
can't
recall
the
the
organization
that
invests
for
them.
So
because
it's
it
it's,
it
requires
a
significant
structure,
work
to
support
that
City,
Toronto
and
Ottawa
and
I
think
there's
one
other
municipality.
That's
looking
at
implementing
a
board.
M
Okay,
thank
you,
I'll
be
interested
in
hearing
back
just
on
I
guess
the
investment
objectives
with
this
board
being
set
up
and
how
we
can
input
on
those
I
guess
the
board
would
make
that
determination.
This
separate
board,
but
then
obviously
pass
motions,
but
if
counselors
can
input
on
it,
it'd
be
helpful
to
know
how
and
when
that
can
happen,
because
obviously
it
has
an
effect
on
our
finances
right.
So
when
would
when
would
that
sort
of
thing
occur
and
how
would
it
occur?
Think
of
our
input
into
that.
K
So
we
are
still
working
through
those
details
on
how
that
will
progress.
We
also
also,
as
part
of
the
policy
that's
been
approved,
is
to
go
to
an
Ocio
model
which
is
bringing
an
outsourced
Chief
investment
owner,
so
that
would
recommend
options
for
a
policy
and
those
options
would
be
brought
to
council
for
approval
as
part
of
the
policy
investment.
F
C
Good
morning,
chair
members
of
the
finance
and
Corporate
Services
committee,
I
am
pleased
to
be
here
today
joining
my
colleagues
of
Atlanta
to
provide
an
update
on
the
presentation
for
the
2023
tax
and
rate
operating
capital,
budget,
q1
status
report
and
the
capital
adjustments
and
closing
of
projects.
City
tax
and
rate
supported
report
next
slide.
Please,
on
this
slide,
I
would
like
to
highlight
that
there
are
a
number
of
operating
Capital
status
reports
provided
to
Canadian
Council
throughout
the
year,
as
part
of
the
council
approved
reporting
framework
in
front
of
you.
C
Today
we
have
both
two
reports:
the
q1
status
report
and
the
capital
closure
report,
which
we'll
speak
to
a
little
later
in
the
presentation,
operating
reports
present
actual
year-to-date
revenues
and
expenditures
against
the
calamarized
budget
for
the
corresponding
period.
The
purpose
of
this
report
is
to
present
the
results,
along
with
any
overview
or
underlying
issues
or
risks
that
will
be
monitored
throughout
the
remaining
of
2023..
C
C
C
Overall,
the
tax
supported
service
is
ended,
q1
with
a
12.3
million
dollar
deficit.
Again,
as
I
previously
mentioned,
this
was
mainly
driven
by
the
winter
operations
costs
in
terms
of
the
response
to
the
first
half
of
the
2023
winter
season.
In
addition
to
arbitration
and
legal
costs
associated
with
the
tax
delegation
lawsuit,
there
were
a
number
of
surpluses
across
all
all
other
departments
related
to
vacancies
and
save
vacancy
savings
and
additional
Revenue
Elements,
which
help
reduce
this
overall
deficit.
C
Part
of
the
mitigations
that
we
have
planned
going
for
for
the
rest
of
the
year
is,
we
have
implemented
a
discretionary
spending
freeze
and
we've
also
implemented
a
cautionary
iron
freeze
to
ensure
that
hiring
is
approved
by
all
GMS.
As
for
operational
operational,
critical
resources
and
business
priority
resources
next
slide,
please.
C
Again,
the
Q2
status
report
will
provide
a
better
indication
as
to
the
overall
year
in
position
for
the
rape
program,
as
we
move
into
the
summer
months,
which
is
largely
driven
by
the
variability
of
the
wet
or
dryness
of
diseases.
That's
in
front
of
us
I
will
now
pass
it
over
to
my
colleagues
of
Atlanta
to
discuss
the
next
slide.
N
O
O
Council
approval
is
required
to
authorize
the
closing
of
capital
projects,
to
approve
budget
adjustments
outside
of
delegated
authority
to
return
to
Source
or
fund
various
Capital
funding
sources
and
to
extend
the
projected
year
of
completion
for
a
project
to
remain
open
and
spent
of
funds
are
a
return
to
the
source
funding.
Reserve.
C
So
the
recommended
project
closures
and
amendments
will
remove
6.9
million
in
previously
approved
net
spending
budgets,
7.2
million
to
be
returned
to
Capital
supported
tax
and
rate
Reserve
funds,
1.6
million
to
be
funded
from
development
charges
and
a
reduction
of
the
overall
debt
financing
requirement
of
1.1
million
next
slide.
Please.
C
C
This
aligns
to
the
approval
to
transfer
13.3
million
out
of
the
reserve
into
existing
approved
projects
to
account
for
contingencies
in
those
existing
projects,
there's
also
a
reduction
of
34
million
in
the
gas
tax
reserves,
which
is
the
alignment
of
the
federal
gas
tax
related
to
zero
emissions
buses
report
that
was
previously
approved
earlier
this
year.
It's
also
important
to
remind
members
of
committee
that
the
management
of
reserves
is
a
very
important
factor
in
the
city's
overall
Financial
condition
as
it
impacts
both
the
financial
sustainability
and
financial
flexibility.
C
The
Credit
Agencies
continues
to
acknowledge
the
city's
Strong
Reserve
levels
and
relatively
low
debt
levels,
which
attributes
to
our
strong
AAA
rating
and
double
a
rating
from
Moody's
in
s
p.
As
a
reminder,
operating
reserves
generally
use
stabilize
and
mitigate
the
impact
of
fluctuations
in
operating
costs
and
revenues
to
accumulate
funds
for
future
or
contingent
liabilities.
C
Capital
reserves
are
used
to
fund
the
capital
works
and
invested
by
the
city
until
required
for
those
nearby
earning
interests,
restrictive
reserves
are
established
by
Council
and
legislative
requires
funds
received
for
a
special
purpose
to
be
segregated
and
accounted
for
separately
and
can
only
be
used
for
that
prescribed
purpose.
Mr
Mayor.
That
concludes
my
presentation.
P
Q
Q
C
Through
the
chair,
if
you
go
through
the
report
or
refer
to
my
Reserve
continuity,
it's
important
to
note
that
the
current
balance
in
the
transit
Reserve
combined
operating
and
capital
reserve,
is
32
million.
So
that's
that's
the
first
backstop
in
terms
of
mitigation
towards
that
39
million
dollar
Gap
that
we
have
there
in
terms
of
on
confirmed
funding.
C
It's
q1
report
went
to
the
commission
earlier
in
May
and
we
will
be
monitoring
that
cost
to
kind
of
try
and
close
that
residual
gap
for
that
7
million
to
get
to
that
39
million
overall
from
a
q1
perspective,
Transit,
the
real
Gap
is
about
that
39
million,
so
we're
kind
of
containing
costs
in
our
operations.
So
again,
with
the
32
million
in
the
reserve,
balances
and
More
mitigations
in
place
from
a
discretionary
spending
we're
looking
at
our
existing
capital
in
Flight.
That's
how
we're
going
to
mitigate
to
that
39.
Q
C
R
C
So,
from
a
calendarized
basis
like
we,
we
counterize,
so
we
front
load
some
and
then
we
have
some
in
the
back
in
as
well
for
November
December.
So
from
a
calendarized
perspective,
we
were
13.8
million
over
that
Calendar's
budget
as
we
go
through
we've
seen
years
before,
where
we
finished
q1
in
a
deficit
position.
But
again
it's
subject
to
November
February
events,
because
we
do
have
a
back-end
budget
as
well.
If
there's
a
very
mild
November
December
that
would
mitigate
that
deficit
from
q1.
R
C
So
so
what
we're
comparing
to
is
the
reserve
projection
during
budget
time?
Okay?
So
if
you
recall
our
budget
was
tabled
in
the
beginning
of
February,
the
zero
emission
bus
report
came
February,
22nd
time
frame.
So
when
that
report
was
approved,
part
of
that
funding
for
his
early
mission,
buses
was
Federal
gas
tax,
so
that
was
then
allocated.
F
F
And
items
6.3,
Capital
adjustments
and
closing
of
projects
for
the
city,
tax
and
rate
supported
is
that
carried
all
right?
Let's
move
to
item
6.5,
Enterprise
risk
management
program,
approval
of
audit
recommended
actions,
and
we
have
a
another
presentation
on
this
with
Cyril
Rogers
and
Chris
Hughes.
E
C
C
First
off
what
is
enterprise
risk
management?
You
can
see
on
the
on
the
on
the
right
side
on
the
left
side
story,
you
can
see
that
the
industry's
standard
definition
in
the
box,
but
in
essence
the
Enterprise
risk
managing
first
and
approach
an
organization
can
deal
with
uncertainty
and
manage
risks
to
the
right.
We
describe
how
the
city's
ERM
program
is
structured.
C
We
have
a
policy
which
provides
clear,
Direction
roles
and
responsibilities,
tools,
resources
and
training
for
staff
and
detailed
risk
management
processes
that
staff
can
follow
to
properly
identify,
assess
mitigate
Monitor
and
report
on
risks.
As
part
of
our
continuous
Improvement
efforts.
We're
here
today
to
present
some
of
the
announcements
to
the
ERM
program
for
your
consideration
next
slide.
Please.
C
This
slide
will
provide
a
background
for
the
city's
ERM
program
in
2010.
Council
approved
approved
an
honored
General
recommendation
to
create
a
new
ERM
policy
and
framework
risk
training
course
and
related
activities.
Since
then,
staff
have
operated
the
ERM
program
for
council's
Direction
in
2013.
The
ERM
policy
was
in
fresh
and
Council
delegated
subsequent
updates
to
staff
in
2021
2022.
The
office
of
the
auditor
general
completed
an
audit
of
the
Enterprise
risk
manager
program
and
there
were
seven
recommendations
from
the
other
which
we
are
currently
either
completed
or
in
progress.
C
Next
slide,
please.
So
one
of
the
key
things
I
would
like
to
highlight
on
this
slide
is
that
that
the
auto
General
did
played
out
that
the
city
has
a
very
sound
and
robust
ERM
process
in
place.
The
recommendations
of
the
audit
will
help
the
city
continue
to
mature
and
improve
our
risk
management
practices.
C
The
second
recommendation
is
to
establish
risk
tolerance
levels
for
the
organization
through
the
development
of
proposed
risk,
appetite
and
tolerance
statements
in
developing
these
proposed
actions.
Staff
work
closely
with
industry
experts
from
BDO
perform,
benchmarking
from
other
municipalities
and
similar
organizations,
reviewed
current
leading
practices
and
works,
and
when
held
working
sessions
with
risk,
stakeholders
and
Senior
leadership,
team
I
will
now
pass
it
over
to
my
colleague
Chris
to
go
through
the
remaining
slides.
S
Thank
you
Cyril
next
slide.
Please
thank
you.
So
I'd
like
to
talk
to
you
about
the
first
recommendation,
which
is
informing
Council
of
corporate
risks.
So
what
is
a
corporate
risk?
Corporate
risks
are
essentially
uncertainty
associated
with
strategic
or
high-level
goals
of
our
organization
and
can
be
connected
to
the
uncertainty
related
to
high-level
goals
that
are
aligned
with
and
support
our
mission
or
Vision.
So
what
we're
talking
about
here
is
is
essentially
the
big
picture
risks.
S
Corporate
risks
are
reviewed
regularly
by
the
City
Senior
leadership
team,
including
risks
that
are
recommended
by
departments
for
escalation.
As
these
corporate
risks
that
currently
council
is
made
aware
of
risks
through
information
presented
in
reports
often
spoke
focused
on
specific
projects,
initiatives
or
topics.
S
Corporate
administrative
risks
will
continue
to
be
reported
through
the
relevant
standing
committees
and
I
already
mentioned
cyber
security.
As
an
example,
this
reporting
really
is
intended
to
assist
council
with
presenting
a
more
transparent
and
objective
risk.
Governance
approach,
and
the
intention
for
corporate
strategic
risks
is
that
they
are
reviewed
in
the
context
of
the
city,
strategic
plan
and
the
term
of
council
priorities
next
slide.
Please.
S
The
proposed
report
would
include
you
can
see
it
in
the
box
at
the
bottom,
a
name
and
Folsom
description
of
each
risk,
the
risk
score,
which
is
comprised
of
the
likelihood
and
the
impact
of
the
risk.
It
is
a
5x5
scale,
so
25
being
the
highest
possible
risk,
and
the
intention
of
the
scoring
is
twofold:
to
provide
counsel
with
an
understanding
of
the
priority
of
those
risks.
What
is
most
likely
to
occur?
What
has
the
highest
impact
if
it
does,
but
also
to
show
movement
between
reporting
periods?
S
S
S
So
the
second
recommendation
that
we're
speaking
about
today
is
to
establish
risk,
appetite
and
tolerance
for
the
organization
risk
appetite.
Intolerance
is
a
well-established
risk
management
practice
that
organizations
use
as
part
of
their
risk
governance
to
communicate
their
culture
around
risk
and
what
their
risk
values
are
essentially
risk
appetite
is
a
statement
of
where
the
city
is
willing
to
take
some
risks
in
the
pursuit
of
value
and
where
the
city
is
unwilling
to
take
risks,
risk
appetite,
intolerance
statements
do
not
exist
independently
of
each
other.
I
know.
S
Statement
is
more
important
than
another
they're
to
be
used
together
when
considering
a
strategic
or
an
operational
decision,
risk
tolerance
and
we'll
look
at
the
actual
statements
themselves
in
a
moment,
but
risk
tolerance
is
really
better
used
as
a
decision-making
tool.
How
much
are
we
willing
to
vary
from
our
appetite
if
our
risk
variance
is
too
high,
then
perhaps
a
decision
may
not
be
appropriate
for
our
organization,
or
perhaps
it
requires
some
significant
risk
mitigations
before
it
proceeds,
so
risk
appetite.
Intolerance
often
envisions
with
a
speedometer.
S
So
that's
what
we've
mocked
up
here
on
on
the
slide.
If
you
envision
the
risk
appetite
as
the
speed
limit
the
area
in
green,
that
would
be
the
area
where
the
city
would
generally
sit
from
a
risk
perspective.
Where
we're
generally
comfortable
with
risk
risk.
Tolerance
would
help
us
determine
when
we
might
need
to
take
a
risk
in
the
yellow
area
and
would
caution
us
away
from
risks
in
the
red
area,
where
we
feel
we
might
be
taking
too
much
risk.
S
So
now
we
were
going
to
bring
up
the
actual
appetite
statements
themselves.
This
would
be
document
one
from
the
report
there
we
go.
Thank
you
just
like
to
show
you
some
examples
of
how
this
is
structured.
So,
as
you'll
see,
the
appetite
statement
is
one
page.
It
is
meant
to
be
short
and
clear.
We've
divided
the
appetite
statement
into
three
areas
related
to
our
city,
our
services
and
our
people.
S
For
example,
if
you
could
sorry
just
scroll
up
to
the
the
top.
Just
briefly,
thank
you,
you'll
notice
that
we've
proposed
a
statement
that
says
that
the
city
might
be
willing
to
take
on
a
little
more
risk
to
improve
our
environmental
stewardship
to
assure
sustainable
Transportation,
but
we
will
not
take
risks
on
the
health
and
safety
of
residents.
S
S
S
A
low
tolerance
means
that,
generally,
the
city
does
not
accept
this
type
of
risk.
Conversely,
a
high
tolerance
May
mean
that
the
city
could
be
willing
to
accept
a
little
bit
more
risk
in
this
area.
Moderate
simply
means
that
there
is
no
inherent
high
or
low
risk.
It's
that
it
will
depend
on
the
situation
and
must
be
considered
if
these
statements
are
approved
by
Council
This
Is
How
They
are
intended
to
be
used.
Let's
Envision,
a
staff
member
has
been
tasked
with
proposing
a
new
program
to
meet
a
direction
from
Council.
S
They
could
use
the
risk
tolerance
statements
to
check
how
the
program
would
fit
within
the
city's
risk
appetite
by
going
through
the
list
and
considering
their
decision
in
each
risk
area,
they
would
have
a
sense
of
whether
the
decision
fits
or
if
it
might
need
to
be
reconsidered.
Reframed
or
if
additional
risk
mitigation
actions
might
need
to
be
proposed.
S
S
S
Thank
you.
So
much
so,
as
mentioned
a
list
of
current
corporate
strategic
risks.
If,
if
we're,
we
approve
of
this
process
will
be
provided
to
Council
in
conjunction
with
the
term
of
council
priorities
and
then
future
updates
to
the
term
of
council
priorities
would
include
a
report
on
corporate
risks
as
detailed
in
this
presentation
and
upon
approval
of
these
actions,
the
Enterprise
risk
management
policy
and
framework,
as
well
as
well
as
the
relevant
risk
and
project
management
training
materials
will
be
updated
in
the
office
of
the
auditor.
S
G
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
just
had
a
couple
of
a
couple
areas.
I
want
to
focus
in
on
one
is
in
the
risk
tolerance
statement,
the
political
area.
It
says
that
city
has
moderate
tolerance
to
challenge
the
strategy
identified
by
the
elected
city
council,
wondering
if,
if
staff
can
give
some
more
context
and
explanation
as
to
what
that,
what
that
line
means
in
the
risk
tolerance
statement.
S
S
Ultimately,
staff
have
a
duty
to
carry
out
the
direction
of
council,
but
this
particular
appetite
statement
shows
that
staff
may
occasionally
provide
a
recommendation
that
is
different
from
what
where
council's
at,
but
it
does
not
preclude
us
from
carrying
out
the
directed
action
and
defending
it
going
forward.
It
really
intended
so
that
staff
can
provide
the
best
available
information
as
part
of
our
professional
responsibility,
so
that
that
is
the
intention
of
that
particular
piece
of
Tolerance.
Thank
you.
G
Okay,
thank
you.
That
makes
sense
so
I
guess
yeah
to
be
clear.
What
we're
approving
here
is
the
corporate
corporate
risk,
tolerance
and
risk
appetite
and
that
council
at
any
time,
could
could
override
or
could
decide.
We
want
to
stray
from
that,
but
at
least
this
gives
us
a
the
framework
for
what
staff
is
making
recommendations
and
decisions
on
which
is
good.
G
The
other
one
I
I,
don't
I!
Guess
it's
a
concern
a
little
bit
the
the
next
slide
on
that
the
reputation
city
of
Ottawa
has
a
low
tolerance
for
risk
that
could
negatively
affect
the
public
opinion
about
the
city,
and
my
only
concern
here
is
I.
Yeah
I
I
think
that
that
that
low
tolerance
makes
sense,
but
there's
always
a
risk
to
me
that
that
leads
to
maybe
or
around
Communications
and
messaging
and
around
releasing
of
information
to
the
public,
not
specific
to
city
of
Ottawa,
but
I.
C
Three
chair:
it's
a
good
question.
I
kind
of
look
at
the
other
angle,
alarm
right.
We
I
label
as
a
low
tolerance,
but
I
mean
that
we
are
really
transparent.
We
show
all
of
our
public,
like
all
of
our
data
in
terms
of
our
financial
data,
is
released
publicly
open
data.
Our
our
budget
books
are
extremely
detailed.
C
There's
an
abundance
of
memos
that
go
out
on
a
regular
basis,
depending
on
the
response
that
the
city
is
taking
so
I
see
that,
as
in
terms
of
you
know,
really
making
sure
we
put
as
much
information
as
we
can
out
to
the
public
in
our
residents.
If
we're
to
elevate
that
to
moderate
I
would
say,
maybe
we're
going
to
be
more
reserved
and
restricted
in
that
process.
So
that's
how
I
kind
of
view
it
that
way,
kind
of
the
other,
the
other
side
of
the
fence
lens
on
it.
If
you
will.
G
T
Thank
you
very
much
for
this
and
thank
you
for
the
briefing
we
got
prior.
It
was
very
helpful.
Just
I
just
want
a
quick
question.
I
asked
you
the
same
question
in
our
briefing,
but
the
heat
mapping
is
that
going
to
be
something
that
we
see
whenever
there's
a
big
decision
we'll
actually
see
that
or
is
that
still
to
come,
I
I
just
haven't
seen
it
in
this
presentation.
S
What
counselor
Curry
is
referring
to
is
a
grid
that
Maps
out
the
risks
according
to
their
impact
and
their
likelihood,
and
it
is
a
a
pretty
standard
way
in
which
risks
are
presented
visually.
That
shows
where
the
highest
risks
sit.
You
can
see
where
things
are
sort
of
clumped
together
in
terms
of
their
impact
and
likelihood
so
I'd
like
to
take
that
back
for
consideration
in
our
risk
reporting.
S
T
Thank
you
for
that.
It's
just
on
other
boards,
I
sit
on
I,
find
it
super
helpful.
This
is
red,
yellow
green
gives
you
a
really
quick
visual
of
where,
where
the
risks
are
and
the
levels,
the
other
thing
I
was
going
to
ask
you
about
was
what
at
so
the
process
that
would
take
place
where
a
decision
would
be
before
staff
and
they
would
have
to
be
determining
the
level
of
risk.
T
C
So
through
the
chair,
so
if
you
call
one
of
the
slides
that
you
know
that
pyramid
that
you
would
see
Enterprise
risk
management
shows
the
pyramid,
strategic
priorities,
objectives,
same
kind
of
idea,
so
at
a
very
low
level,
if
there's
an
individual
one
of
our
staff
is
cutting
grass
and
they
have
an
idea
for
Innovation
or
idea
for
improving
that
will
filter
through
the
organization
through
their
their
reporting
relationship.
If
it's
a
good
idea,
then
it
comes
to
some
level
of
Engagement.
There
could
be
a
business
case.
C
That's
process
in
terms
of
diviability
of
that
idea
as
an
example
and
then
from
there
it
really
kind
of
stems
into
the
real
risk
profile
as
we
go
to
that
stage
of
it.
So
an
idea
can
can
be
conceptual.
Then
we
got
to
do.
You
know
understand
the
risk
that
we're
willing
to
take
at
a
top
level
as
we
go
through
a
business
case
process
as
an
example
to
see
if
we're
willing
to
do
or
take
on
that
initiative.
T
C
Through
the
chair
just
add
on
to
that
point:
that's
why
we
kind
of
have
a
accountability
of
ERM
in
all
departments,
so
it's
kind
of
supported
by
the
btss
and
the
BSS
functions,
so
we're
not
holding
it
over
in
one
side
old
spot
where
there's
a
bottleneck
of
ideas
coming
through.
So
all
those
ideas
can
kind
of
flow
up
through
each
respective
service
area
department.
So
we
don't
have
that
bureaucratic
bottleneck.
So
a
good
ideas
will
always
come
forward.
T
Okay,
good
to
hear
I
have
just
a
couple
more
questions:
Mr
Mayor
on
that
about
the
every
Department.
You
said
that
the
grid
would
show,
or
the
chart
would
show
us
the
owner
the
concept
of
having
a
risk
owner.
Does
that
not
bring
a
question
of
liability
into
it
at
the
end
like?
Is
it
actually
a
person
or
a
department
like
in
terms
of
them,
owning
that
risk?
And
then
something
goes
wrong?
C
Through
the
chair,
I'll
take
the
first
step,
but
from
a
context
perspective,
the
owner
becomes
a
department
and
lots
of
times
there's
a
shared
ownership
in
our
in
our
in
our
wrist,
because,
let's
be
fair,
most
most
items
have
a
Financial
Risk,
so
I'm
kind
of
part
of
the
shared
responsibility
of
my
department,
finance
department,
corporate
services.
So
it's
more
is
that
the
department
level
in
terms
of
sharing
that
risk
and
again
that's
reviewed
on
a
regular
basis
of
SLT
level,
to
make
sure
that
we
all
understanding
different
risks
in
the
profiles.
U
T
Okay,
publicly,
it
doesn't
switch
Midstream,
that's
on
some
issue
and
then
the
last
question
I
have
is
about
in
the
document.
It
indicates
that
risk
is
about
the
pursuit
of
a
goal.
Do
you
think
anywhere
in
this?
It
captures
the
pursuit
of
the
not
the
non-pursuit
of
a
goal.
So
what
the
risk
is
to
not
do
something
as
opposed
to
doing
something,
there's
a
there's,
a
difference,
but
there's
a
risk
to
both
is
that
captured
in
here.
C
Through
the
chair,
yes,
so
at
a
very
fundamental
level,
when
we
do
business
cases,
you
know,
there's
always
the
standard
you
know
status
quo,
do
nothing
and
when
we
do
that
status
quo
analysis
by
doing
nothing,
there's
a
risk
because
you've
foregone
an
opportunity.
So
we
do
look
at
that.
From
that
context,
wonderful.
V
Hi
there
I'm
sorry
this.
This
probably
was
in
part
of
the
report,
but
I
was
just
wondering
and
looking
at
the
risk
appetite
statements.
Are
there
any?
You
know
when
you
see
the
intersectionality
of
of
these
large
categories,
continuity
of
operations,
Financial
Human
Resources?
Is
there
like
a
like
a
trump
or
like
a?
Is
there?
Is
there
one
that
supersedes
all
others?
If
we
hit
a
risk
on
this
particular
category,
the
the
project
stops?
It
was
that
in
the
report.
C
So
from
a
Financial
Risk,
you
know
that's
not
exclusive
to
financial
services,
that's
impacts,
all
departments,
so
I
think
the
key
there
is
there's,
no
one,
that's
more
important
than
the
other.
It's
a
suite
and
the
combinations.
The
sum
of
the
total
is
greater
than
the
individual
components.
If
that
makes
sense,.
V
V
V
Suggest
that
they
work
against
each
other,
so
I
just
wonder.
You
know
how,
when
staff
is
working
with
this
and
I,
appreciate
that
you
say
it's
within
the
business
support
services
to
have
that
guidance,
but
I'll
just
put
that
forward
as
a
different
way
of
of
presenting
the
material.
It
could
be
a
a
an
interesting
way
to
help
people
guide
through
some
of
this
list,
and
then
the
other
piece
is
just
you
know
just
to
support
councilor
gowers
comments
when
it
comes
to
the
reputation.
V
The
city
of
Ottawa
has
a
low
tolerance
for
risks
that
could
never
negatively
affect
the
public
opinion.
Mr
Rogers
I
certainly
appreciate
that.
Perhaps
you
read
it
differently,
but
I
might
I
might
reinforce
that
within
the
within
the
the
chart
you
know
low
would
mean,
or
at
least
the
way
I
understand
it.
Low
tolerance
would
mean
less
activity
would
mean
greater
protections,
less
transparency,
because
it's
low
and
then
High
means
that
you
have
more
risks,
which
means
that
I
implies
a
bit
a
bit
of
openness
or
a
bit
of
more
activity.

Mr
Mayor
Will,
McDonald,
Chief
procurement
officer,
so
counselor
as
you're
aware,
Council
approved
a
report
in
Q4
2021
that
outlaid
our
strategy
for
addressing
social
procurement.
It
included
both
short-term
and
long-term
actions.
I
can
advise
that
we
are
well
Advanced
on
implementing
those
those
actions
outlined
in
the
report
and
we'd
be
pleased
to
provide
a
detailed
briefing
to
the
counselor.
If
you'd
like
absolutely.
L
That's
it's
I
just
wanted
to
build
on
that
question.
One
of
the
the
obstacles
for
social
procurement
being
involved
in
the
city's
policies.
At
the
time
of
that
that
motion
being
adopted
was
that
we
just
didn't
have
capacity
in
the
system,
so
the
city
itself,
we
had
a
a
deficit
of
social
Enterprises
being
able
to
apply
for
our
procurement
and
that
there
was
the
requirement
for
training
and
education
for
them.
I
was
just
curious.
X
Mr
Mayor
we're
certainly
seeing
optimism
in
that
field.
I
would
say.
Market
capacity
continues
to
be
a
challenge.
What
we've
seen
through
the
short-term
actions
that
we've
implemented
is
that
access
to
City
procurements
have
increased.
However,
we
are
continuing
to
work
with
our
partners
in
Industry
to
develop
that
market
capacity
to
ensure
there
are
social
Enterprises
available
to
respond
to
our
procurement
needs.
T
I
just
want
to
make
a
general
comment
note
about
procurement
and
see
what
you
think
so,
when
I'm
at
any
event
at
the
tech
Park.
What
I
will
hear
often
is
people
will
say
things
like
it's
almost
impossible
to
get
a
contract
with
the
city
to
sell
anything
to
the
city
and
that
it
then
impedes
them
from
selling
elsewhere,
because
other
countries
will
say
well.
T
You
know
you
sell
to
the
city
of
Ottawa
right
and
Canada
like
it's,
not
just
city
of
Ottawa
but
and
Canada,
and
a
lot
of
the
companies
love
to
say
no
like
we
can
sell
everywhere
in
the
world.
It's
not
a
bad
thing
that
95
of
our
income
in
the
tech
Park
is
international,
that's
a
good
thing,
but
they
don't.
They
aren't
able
to
say.
Yes,
they
have
the
city
of
Ottawa
as
a
customer.
Yes,
they
have
the
federal
government
as
a
customer.
They
hear
that
again
and
again
and
again,
every
meeting
I
go
to.
T
What
do
you
think
about
having
a
conversation
with
them
to
understand
that
better?
Your
document,
your
report
indicates
85
percent
is
local.
You
have
a
fair,
open,
transparent
process.
I
read
all
that,
but
that's
not
the
perception
and
they
can't
like
the
companies,
can't
point
to
contracts
they've
had
with
the
city
of
Ottawa
or
the
federal
government,
and
they
they
really
meant
both
and
I.
Hear
it
every
time.
What
do
you
think
about
all
that.
X
Mr
Mayor,
we
would
be
pleased
to
meet
with
anyone
that
is
having
identifying
obstacles
or
barriers
to
doing
business
with
the
city
we
meet
with
our
large
industry
Partners
regularly
and
we
develop
our
procurement
strategies
in
a
way
that
will
best
achieve
both
of
our
objectives,
and
so,
if
you're
hearing
that
there
are
vendors
that
are
concerned
with
how
to
do
business
or
they
may
not
understand
how
our
procurement
processes
work
or
they've
identified
barriers,
we
would
encourage
you
to
direct
them
to
us
and
we
would
be
pleased
to
have
those
discussions.
Okay,.

Accompanied
by
Cindy
van
boskart,
she's,
a
manager
in
our
in
the
Department
of
Economic,
Development
and
I'm
very,
very
proud
to
introduce
some
of
the
Mullins
Amanda
will
be
joining
our
department
on
the
19th
of
June
as
a
manager
of
a
strategic
planning
for
the
bywood
market.
Hello
Amanda,
welcome
to
you,
we're
very,
very
proud
to
be
here
today
to
put
forward
our
recommendations
on
our
strategic
alignment
initiative
and
to
get
your
support
for
our
recommendations
as
well.
I'd
like
to
give
the
floor
to
Ms
van
bursker,
who
will
start
the
presentation
and
good
morning.
Z
Everyone
in
January
of
2021
Council
approved
the
byward
market
public
realm
plan,
which
included
a
recommendation
to
undertake
a
governance
review
of
the
byword
market,
to
address
the
ineffective,
multi-layered
jurisdictional
structure
and
improve
the
management,
programming
and
operations
of
the
area
to
deliver
an
improved
experience.
A
working
group
was
established
in
July
2021
and
began
discussions
on
how
to
provide
the
byword
market
with
the
ability
to
better
manage
its
own
operations.
Z
We
believe
the
byward
market,
strategic
alignment
initiative
is
really
the
next
step
in
creating
a
byward
market
that
meets
the
expectations
and
interests
of
businesses,
residents
and
visitors.
A
strong
governance
and
administrative
Foundation
is
required
to
reclaim
the
market
as
the
historically
and
commercially
vibrant
destination.
It
has
been
for
Generations.
Z
There
is
a
clear
willingness
on
the
part
of
area
stakeholders
to
take
bold
steps
to
improve
District,
Operations,
commercial
vitality
and
visitor
experience.
Byward
markets
designation
as
a
special
district
in
the
new
official
plans
supports
the
opportunity
to
affect
a
transformational
change
in
advance
of
the
the
areas.
Sorry
in
advance
of
the
200th
anniversary
of
the
area
in
2027..
Z
Addressing
governance,
creates
the
optimal
environment,
to
engage
credibly
and
to
speak
really
with
one
voice
on
larger
byword.
Market
and
city-wide.
Issues
like
safety,
homelessness,
addiction
and
mental
health
timing
is
ideal
for
a
new
byword
market
voice
to
influence
the
implementation
of
the
buyer,
Market
public
realm
plan
to
mitigate
impacts
to
businesses
and
visitors
and
capitalize
on
new
place,
making
and
programming
opportunities.
Z
The
working
group
has
endorsed
a
single
District
Authority
approach
to
managing
the
byword
market
that
aligns
area
operations,
marketing
programming
and
advocacy
under
a
single
entity.
The
new
District
model
will
utilize
the
existing
Municipal
Services
Corporation
legal
structure,
currently
known
as
marcheid
Ottawa
markets
or
Ottawa
markets,
to
facilitate
the
transfer
of
accountabilities
and
revenue,
generating
opportunities
from
the
city
to
the
municipal,
Services
Corporation,
under
an
expanded
mandate,
and
that
will
be
accomplished
via
a
new
service
and
asset
management
agreement.
Z
The
byward
market
Bia
will
cease
operations
to
support
the
transition
to
the
new
District
model.
The
MSC
mandate
will
expand
to
include
previous
Bia
priorities,
including
marketing
programming,
Street,
beautification
and
pageantry
cleanliness
and
safety,
recognizing
the
vital
commercial
profile
of
the
byword
market.
The
new
MSC
board
structure
will
include
a
newly
created
business
advisory
committee,
comprised
of
District
property
owners
and
businesses.
The
chair
of
this
committee
will
be
a
member
of
the
municipal,
Services
Corporation
board
and
a
critical
conduit
to
communicate
and
share
business
issues
and
priorities.
Z
Ultimately,
the
goal
of
the
new
model
is
to
deliver
improved
outcomes
related
to
economic,
Prosperity
diversification
and
resilience.
It's
critical
that
we
ensure
the
commercial
interests
in
the
byword
market
Thrive
and
that
the
mix
of
businesses
provides
a
fulsome
daytime
and
nighttime
experience
for
people
of
all
ages,
community
and
safety
and
well-being,
ensuring
that
the
district
is
safe
and
welcoming
to
everyone.
Z
There
is
an
opportunity
for
the
new
District
authority
to
take
a
leadership
role
and
facilitate
closer
relationships
with
the
city
with
Ops
and
Social
Service

Partners
to
address
very
complicated
issues
that

and

Z
A
mission
statement
has
been
developed
for
the
newly
named
byward
Market
District
Authority,
and
will
be
subject
to
final
negotiation
with
the
municipal
Services
Corporation
board
as
part
of
the
new
service
and
asset
management
agreement.
The
mission
statement
identifies
the
byward
Market
District
as
the
custodian
or
Steward
of
the
district.
It
highlights
its
commercial,
residential,
Heritage
and
public
market
profile
and
focuses
the
district
Authority's
efforts
on
delivering
an
enhanced
visitor
experience
that
reflects
the
area's
local
and
National
significance
and
back
to
court.
Y
Thanks
Cindy
next
slide,
please
I'm
going
to
talk
about
the
Mandate
of
the
organization.
The
Bayern
Market,
District,
Authority's,
mandated
areas
of
responsibility
under
a
news
service
and
asset
management
agreement
will
include
the
following
running
our
two
public
markets.
It's
important
to
note
that
there
are
about
22
farmers
markets
in
Ottawa,
but
we
have
two
publicly
owned
public
farmers
markets.
Y
This
is
a
good
spot
in
the
presentation
to
speak
to
the
importance
of
Parkdale
Market
Parkdale
Market
will
remain
a
very
important
business
line
and
the
programming
and
events
that
have
been
so
successful
under
Ottawa
markets
will
continue
under
the
leadership
of
the
district
Authority,
and
we
see
this
as
an
opportunity
for
future
growth.
We
know
food
security,
food
accessibility
and
availability.
Local
goods
and
Artisans
are
equally
important
in
the
Parkdale
Market
community,
and
that
will
be
part
of
the
core
Mandate
of
this
organization.
Y
Second
mandate
will
be
streetscapes,
plazas
and
assets
maintained
to
an
elevated
service
higher
than
the
city
of
ottawa's
level
of
service.
So
I
want
to
note
that
that
our
Public
Works
colleagues
maintain
byward
Market
to
the
highest
level
of
operational
maintenance
standard
anywhere
in
the
city,
and
we
see
that
and
we're
proud
of
that.
This
organization
will
pair
with
our
Public
Works
colleagues
to
take
that
level
of
curation
and
and
quality
of
place,
keeping
even
higher.
Y
There
will
also
be
the
mandates
to
do
the
typical
Bia
undertakings
of
pageantry
branding
programming,
we'll
be
adding
to
this
mandate
the
need
to
have
a
Century
Located
Visitor
Center,
what
that
is,
whether
it's
a
bricks
and
mortar,
or
whether
it's
a
an
on
the
street
service.
We
know
that
many
residents
find
themselves
in
the
vibrant
Market
are
looking
for
wayfinding
around
the
core,
et
cetera,
and
that
will
be
part
of
the
responsibilities
of
this
organization,
as
well
as
hosting
events
and
activations
of
a
city-wide
and
National
importance
and
marketing
wired
markets
nationally.
Y
Next
slide,
please
to
continue
with
the
mandates.
The
district
Authority
will
have
the
responsibility
to
support
and
Advocate,
on
behalf
of
property,
business
and
entrepreneurial
interests
in
the
area
to
ensure
that
the
commercial
vibrancy
of
the
district
is
maintained
and
offers
a
Folsom
daytime
and
nighttime
experience
year-round.
Y
The
city
working
with
its
Social
Service,
Partners
and
Auto
police
services
has
made
great
strides
over
the
last
two
years,
particularly
in
its
Community
engagement
team
and
having
impactful
on
the
ground
service
improvement
to
all
Ottawa
residents.
This
organization
will
take
over
the
leadership
table
that
brings
together
all
parties
within
byward
and
Lower
Town
to
coordinate
Service
delivery
to
all
residents
of
the
community,
as
well
as
potentially
continuing
with
the
community
engagement
team
initiative.
Y
Upon
the
conclusion
of
its
pilot
later
this
year,
advocacy
will
also
be
a
key
component
as
Cindy
mentioned,
especially
as
it
relates
to
investment
in
the
area.
It's
a
critical
aspect
of
the
of
the
Authority's
mandate
public
realm
plan
that
Council
approved
in
2021
requires
significant
investment
from
all
levels
of
government.
The
district
Authority
will
be
positioned
to
speak
credibly
with
one
voice
to
move
forward
without
delay
that
plan.
Y
Lastly,
as
a
municipal,
Service
Corporation,
the
work
of
the
district
will
continue
to
reflect
City
priorities
related
to
climate
change
and
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion,
and
celebrate
the
cultural
and
Heritage
traditions
of
both
the
byword
market
and
Parkdale
Market
neighborhoods
next
slide.
Please
now
I'm
going
to
show
the
proposed
byward
Market
District
operational
boundary.
Y
Next
slide,
as
noted
earlier
in
this
presentation,
Parkdale
Market
is
an
important
business
line
of
the
municipal
Service
Corporation.
Here
is
the
Parkdale
Market
operational
boundary
hatched
area,
delineates
the
Parkdale
Park,
which
is
jointly
programmed
by
the
city,
the
municipal,
Service
Corporation,
the
Wellington
West
Bia,
and
the
hintonburg
Community
Association
next
slide.
Y
Y
Specifically,
we
looked
at
detailed
Financial
modeling
and
a
detailed
organizational
operating
model
that
reflects
the
new
mandates
in
optimized
buyered
Market
District
Authority,
fully
resourced
to
meet
the
requirements
of
its
mandate
under
the
new
service.
Nasa
management
agreement
identifies
an
average
annual
operating
budget
and
revenue
of
four
million
dollars.
To
give
you
a
sense
of
scale.
Ottawa
markets
currently
operates
at
a
two
million
dollar
operating
envelope
and
expenses
range
at
4.6
million
annually.
So
there
is
a
Delta
that
will
need
to
be
bridged.
Y
I
want
to
note
here
that
this
organization
will
be
scalable
and
the
transition
of
services
that
have
been
provided
by
the
city
or
others
typically
will
be
done
in
a
Cadence
that
works
for
both
parties
and
manages
Financial
Risk
to
both
the
city
of
Ottawa
and
the
buyer.
Market
District
Authority,
the
city
and
the
New
byward
Market
District
Authority
will
be
focused
in
the
coming
months
and
weeks
on
developing
that
service
and
asset
management
agreement,
and
we
will
be
bringing
forward
any
financial
implications
regarding
this
transition.
Y
As
part
of
the
draft
2024
operating
budget,
one
option
as
outliner
recommendation
five
in
the
staff
report
directs
staff
to
explore
a
special
area
Levy
to
support
the
Mandate
of
the
district
Authority.
Unlike
a
Bia
Levy,
which
is
only
applied
to
commercial
properties,
a
special
area
Levy
would
be
applied
to
all
properties
within
a
defined
area.
Y
Any
approved
Levy
could
only
be
used
for
a
district
Authority
initiatives
of
community
benefit
not
for
operating
expenses
and
I
want
to
stop
right
here.
To
be
clear,
a
special
Levy
is
not
a
city-wide
Levy.
It
would
only
ever
be
brought
forward
following
Community
dialogue
of
specific
projects,
a
community
referendum
administered
by
elections
Ottawa
and
for
city
council
approval.
This
is
a
multi-month
multi-year
process.
Y
Should
the
value
proposition
be
there
and
should
the
community
be
supportive
next
slide
in
terms
of
the
public
realm
plan
that
Council
approved
in
2021,
there
has
been
good
progress:
we've
renewed
William
Street
between
Rito
and
George
at
the
foot
of
the
Rito
Center.
We
are
now
embarked
upon
a
public-private
partnership
with
AC
Marriott,
who
is
opening
a
new
200
room,
hotel
and
condo
on
Rideau,
and
we're
proud
that,
well,
our
mall
that's
been
closed
for
almost
seven
years
will
be
reopened
to
the
public.
Y
Y
Next
steps
are
byword:
Market,
Square,
William
Street
in
York
Street,
which
I've
shown
here
on
the
slide.
We
have
the
operating
dollars
to
undertake
design
which
will
be
undertaking
later
this
month,
part
of
Amanda's
duties.
However,
we
do
not
have
the
funds
to
implement
these
projects,
so
one
of
the
recommendations
you
have
before
you
is
is
confirming
these
as
priority
capital
projects
that
we
will
see
partner,
Government
funding
on.
Y
We
also
continue
to
look
at
70
clearance,
the
municipal
parking
garage
and
that
project
will
be
subject
to
a
separate
report
before
you
and
this
Committee
in
the
fall
next
slide.
The
staff
report
contains
eight
recommendations
for
your
consideration
recommendation.
One
relates
to
your
receipt
and
understanding
of
the
proposed
mission
statement,
mandate
and
operational
boundaries
of
the
authority
recommendation
to
ask

Recommendation
7,
seeks

two
hundred
thousand

As
I
noted,
the

on
transition.
Our
priority
will
be
on
executing
a
service
agreement
and
preparing
for
the
2024
budget
and
collaborating
with
internal
colleagues
to
ensure
a
smooth
transition
of
responsibilities.
Y
This
concludes
Mr
Mayor,
a
presentation
like
to
acknowledge
and
thank
the
members
of
the
buyer,
Market
strategic
alignment
initiative
working
group
for
their
time
and
expertise
over
the
last
18
months,
as
well
as
the
many
internal
and
external
stakeholders.
Property
Owners
business
Community
organizations
have
contributed
valuable
perspectives
for
a
buyer
that
works
for
everyone.
Thank
you.

If
you
exclude
the
NCC
and
city-owned
lands,
our
group
represents
the
bulk
of
the
commercial
buildings
in
the
market.
We
fully
support
the
creation
of
the
market
Authority,
but
we
believe
private
sector
input
from
those
of
us
that
have
invested
and
developed
in
the
market
is
critical
to
the
success
of
the
new
Authority
I.
Just
briefly
want
to
illustrate
why
our
group
believes
that
I'll
and
I'll
do
that
by
pointing
at
some
of
the
completed
private
Public
Partnerships
that
have
greatly
benefited
the
market.
AA
Our
company
also
on
a
long-term
NCC
lease
developed,
Clarendon
Lanes
on
York
Street,
that
added
120
Apartments
residents
to
the
market,
many
substantial
retailers
and
underground
public
parking.
My
colleague
Sarah
Jennings
and
her
husband,
Ian
Johns,
leased
from
the
NCC
and
then
redeveloped
the
entire
block
on
Sussex
between
York
and
Clarence.
This
again
added
multiple
permanent
residents
to
the
market,
an
entire
block
of
retailers.
AA
The
first
priority
of
our
group,
though,
is
security
of
the
market
shoplifting
and
aggressive
panhandling
and
having
vagrants
sleeping
on
the
sidewalk
is
destroying
the
daytime
activity.
Nighttime
security
is
also
an
issue.
Gangs
and
shootings
must
stop.
We
as
a
group
need
to
work
with
board
and
others
to
achieve
Security
in
the
market
without
a
return
to
normality
on
security
issues,
our
Market
is
severely
threatened.
Restaurants
and
bars,
May
survive,
but
retailers
and
the
character
of
our
Market
will
slowly
disappear.
AA
We
have
other
areas
concerns
I'll
touch
on
a
few
of
these,
our
group
would
like
input
to
the
goals
on
the
Redevelopment
of
the
proposals
of
the
parking
garage
at
70
Clarence.
We
want
to
see
it
happen
and
our
input
will
help
that
a
tender
call
on
a
proposal
that
makes
no
business
sense
is
simply
a
way
to
do
nothing.
For
many
years
we
have
experience,
we
can
help
in
all
aspects,
and
but
we
need
a
forum
to
be
heard.
AA
Last
year's
closing
of
Clarence
Street
was
done
to
help
the
restaurants
deal
with
the
pandemic
restrictions.
It
was
a
lovely
idea,
but
the
execution
was
terrible.
The
section
between
Peron
Dalhousie
looked
like
a
refugee
camp
with
every
type
of
tent
shelter,
fences
and
Windbreak.
Infra
input
from
our
group
will
avoid
a
repetition
of
that
landlords
are
able
to
insist
on
design
criteria
and
uniformity
with
their
tenants.
AA
William
Street
Mall
between
George
and
York
could
benefit
from
our
input.
Seeing
shirtless,
vagrants
sleeping
in
the
very
comfortable
lawn
chairs
is
off-putting.
Those
chairs
need
to
be
changed.
Our
company
has
several
retail
tenants
in
this
section
of
William
Street,
we've
heard
their
complaints
and
we'd
like
to
work
with
the
authority
on
Solutions.
AA
AA
Let's
bring
them
back
now
before
they're
lost
forever
and
as
mayor
Sutcliffe
said
in
his
campaign,
bring
the
market
back
in
byword
we're
an
organized
group,
we're
prepared
to
speak
with
one
voice,
but
we
need
a
forum
to
be
heard
and
we
believe
one
seat
on
the
business
advisory
committee
is
not
that
forum.
We
would
like
direct
access
to
the
market.
Authority
board,
we'll
happy
to
leave
that
to
the
city
staff
to
decide
how
this
would
best
be
achieved.
Our
group
will
be
an
asset
and
we
should
be
heard.
Thank
you.
Sarah.
AB
That's
going
to
be
double
speaking:
Mr
Mayor
we're
in
support,
as
Mr
Leahy
has
pointed
out.
One
issue
is
The
Disappearance
of
the
Bia
Levy
of
well
over
500
000
Mr
Curry
has
given
us
some
information
on
a
new
approach
on
that,
but
our
it
should
be
known
that
our
group
has
reached
consensus.
They
would
not
object
to
a
local
Levy
that
would
replace
the
missing
Levy.
AB
Rather
than
having
our
taxes
cut.
We
would
maintain
the
status
quo,
but
what
he
has
pointed
out
is
that
we
wish
to
have
some
say
in
the
rising
in
the
raising
and
purpose
of
that
money.
We
bring
knowledge
and
experience
to
the
table,
and
as
yet
we
do
not
see
an
appropriate
place
in
the
proposed
structure
where
that
knowledge
can
be
inserted.
We
we
trust
that
these
matters
will
be
swiftly
ironed
out
when
the
new
Authority
gets
going.
F
F
AB
F
AC
AC
Okay,
sorry
about
that
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
guys
for
coming.
I
know:
I
met
with
you
separately
after
I
was
elected
and
we
had
chats
over
coffee,
so
I
just
wanted
to.
Thank
you
guys
for
coming.
I.
Think
it's
important
that
all
perspectives
are
heard
in
the
advancement
in
the
Solutions
in
the
byword
market,
the
businesses,
the
house,
the
unhoused,
the
artists,
the
historical
every
everyone
needs
to
come
together
for
Solutions
I.
Just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
being
here
today.
Let's
see
thank.
E
J
Thanks
Brian,
you
said
we
all
know
what
needs
to
be
done
in
order
to
and
I
think
it
was
in
the
context
of
bringing
Farmers
back
to
the
to
the
market.
I,
don't
know
what
needs
to
be
done
to
bring
Farmers
back.
The
the
agricultural
Market
scene
has
evolved
very
significantly
in
the
past
few
years.
I,
don't
know
that
anyone's
got
an
answer
on
it.
Enlighten
me
please
what
needs
to
be
done.
I.
AA
AA
J
That's
valuable
I
appreciate
that
I'll
have
more
questions
for
for
court
as
well,
because
I
know
residents,
Parkdale
Market
is
obviously
going
to
be
a
part
of
this
MSC
as
well,
and
residents
are
asking
about.
How
can
we
get
back
to
those
Glory
Days
of
seven
day
a
week?
Vending
I
don't
know
if
that's
possible,
but
it's
it's
good
to
hear
what
some
of
the
missing
gaps
might
be,
and
people
are
talking
about
incentives
to
bring
the
farmers
back
if
it
doesn't
work
for
them
economically
anymore.
J
Do
we
go
beyond
just
free
stalls,
which
is
obviously
going
to
be
challenging
to
fund
to
the
point
where
we're
even
subsidizing
seven
day
a
week
attendance
if
they're
interested
at
all
so
I
know
this
will
be
a
huge
conversation
over
the
course
of
this
discussion
and
for
many
months
to
come.
Thank
you,
chair.
Q
AB
That's
easy
enough:
we
are
a
group
of
primarily
six
major
landowners
and
then
large
corporate
corporate
owners
such
as
morgard
and
Great,
West
Life,
sorry
I'm
speaking
in
tongues
here,
are
engaged
in
what
we're
doing,
but
as
corporate
entities
don't
wish
to
be
part
of
an
official
group.
But
if
you'd
like
me
to
name
off
the
membership
I'm
happy
to
do
so,
we're
seven
actually
yeah.
Q
AB
But
without
restaurants
we
have
one
restaurant,
an
excellent
one
that
you're
going
to
hear
from
the
owner
of
later
on
this
day,
but
our
interest
is
to
bring
diverse
uses
back
to
the
market.
That's
been
one
of
the
causes
of
its
demise
is
the
loss
of
so
many
services
and
access
to
Goods.
That
would
normally
have
been
part
of
ones
daily
activities.
When
one
went
to
the
market.
Q
F
AD
Good
morning
and
thank
you
Mr
Mayor
and
council
members,
and
thank
you
to
Cindy
and
court
for
your
presentation,
my
name
is
Michelle,
grew
and
I'm.
The
executive
director
of
the
Ottawa
Coalition
of
business,
permanent
areas,
vachovia
representing
the
19
bias
and
urban,
suburban
and
Rural
Ottawa,
soon
to
be
18
bias.
AD
272
commercial
properties
collectively
taxed
at
7.6
million
dollars
as
of
2022..
In
addition
to
the
property
taxes,
the
Bia
members
collectively
paid
a
levy
last
year
around
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
staffed
and
led
by
a
board
of
business
members.
The
Via
helped
build
and
enhance
the
reputation
and
attractiveness
of
the
byward
market,
creating
and
marketing
the
area
that
was
deemed
as
the
most
popular
and
coveted
public
attraction
in
Ottawa
from
those
near
and
far.
AD
AD
For
years,
The
Borrowed
Market
Bia
staff
were
struggling
with
delivering
the
same
programming,
marketing
and
promotion
while
dedicating
resources
to
mitigate
and
address
the
rising
social
issues.
This
reached
a
point
where
business
members
contacted
the
Bia
office
and
board
to
fix
the
issues.
These
issues
cannot
be
resolved
by
a
Bia
alone,
while
I
cannot
speak
for
Ottawa
markets.
AD
The
MSC
I
can
say
that
the
shared
jurisdiction
with
an
overlapping
mandate
impacted
the
ability
to
Market
as
a
singular
Heritage
attraction
of
the
city
and
also
an
ability
to
communicate
with
service
providers
effectively
to
resolve
the
issues
in
2021
I
was
approached
by
the
byword
market
Bia
to
support
their
discussions
with
a
working
group
of
the
city
and
Ottawa
markets.
In
the
Strategic
alignment
initiative,
the
discussion
was
to
dissolve
the
Bia
and
grow
the
msc's
mandate
to
cover
a
larger
area
and
the
bia's
duties.
AD
One
would
think
that
someone
in
my
position
would
strongly
object
to
this
proposal
and
commit
to
preserve
the
Bia
firewood.
Market
has
been
considered
special
and
unique
by
most
people
who
live
in
in
and
visit
our
city.
I
say
this
in
my
professional
capacity
and
in
personal
capacity
as
a
lifelong
ottawan,
byword
Market
is
exceptionally
different,
being
a
Heritage
gym
in
Ottawa,
and
it
is
in
urgent
need
of
cohesive,
singular
attention
at
a
level
that
can
take
action
quickly
and
effectively.
AD
Firewood
Market
businesses
are
waiting
for
a
plan
and
a
mandate
to
restore
what
Byron
Market
was
a
buyer.
Market
District
Authority
will
allow
for
a
singular
voice
on
issues,
a
movement
towards
rebuilding
the
reputation
of
the
area,
control
of
the
public
realm
to
carry
out
creative
and
attractive
events
and
activations
and,
most
importantly,
actively
resolve
the
issues
the
market
is
facing.
Today.
AD
The
proposed
District
Authority
board
structure
will
also
include
a
business
advisory
committee
or
by
bywordmarket
bia
business
members,
of
whom
some
may
already
be
sitting
on
the
baa
board
can
take
part
in
ensuring
that
byword
market
businesses
still
have
a
voice.
I
find
this
to
be
extremely
important
as
a
byword
market.
Bia
board
has
invested
heavily
in
the
businesses
and
area
to
the
state
and
must
be
part
of
the
future
of
Byron
Market.
What
is
missing
and
has
been
proposed
today
is
the
levy
with
the
dissolving
of
the
Bia.
AD
AD
What
the
city
staff
have
put
forth
to
the
committee
today
are
Cobia
supports,
but
it
needs
to
be
stressed
when
War
got
out
that
the
borrowed
Mark
about
the
borrowed
Market
changes,
it
was
clear
from
businesses
and
from
the
public,
so
the
top
priority
for
borrowed
Market
Bia
is
restoring
Safety
and
Security.
Community
safety
and
well-being
must
be
at
the
Forefront
of
this
initiative.
I
have
confidence
that
the
new
board
put
forth
to
you
understands
this.
Businesses
have
already
stated
that
they
are
reviewing
their
lease
time
timelines
and
making
plans
for
the
direction.
Not
change.
AD
F
AE
You
thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
today,
as
as
president
of
the
Ottawa
got.
An
hotel
association.
I
have
a
very
clear
mandate
and
it's
to
enhance
industry
profile,
to
promote
service
excellence
and
to
encourage
tourism
growth.
A
little
bit
of
background.
The
ogha
represents
approximately
just
under
12
000
hotel
rooms
in
the
region.
55
00
of
those
hotel
rooms
are
within
a
10
minute,
walking
distance
of
the
byword
market,
and
we
have
two
new
unique
and
exciting
properties
opening
in
the
byword
market.
AE
AE
AE
I've
been
sounding
the
alarm
bells
for
several
several
years
now
that
we
are
at
a
Tipping
Point
as
to
whether
the
byword
market
remains
a
key
tourism
asset
for
this
city.
The
recommendation
before
you
regarding
the
new
Municipal
Services
Corporation,
is
a
good
step
forward.
I've
read
the
Strategic
alignment
initiative,
deck
and
I
agree
with
the
objectives
and
the
goals
as
they
are
presented.
AE
But
for
me
the
most
exciting
part
of
the
plan
is
the
opportunities
for
collaboration
and
for
advocacy
it's
going
to
take
a
full
court
press
to
address
many
of
the
complex
issues
that
make
the
market
what
it
is
today.
It's
definitely
time
for
change
and
it's
time
for
new
and
bold
thinking
and
the
time
to
act
as
now.
AE
Also
maintaining
the
community
engagement
team
is
critical,
as
I
heard
from
my
members
that
they
are
so
helpful
and
are
making
a
difference
and
we
need
to
keep
moving
on
the
public
realm
plan.
We
need
to
think
big
future
development
like
the
destination
building,
needs
to
attract
new
events
and
create
activity
that
bring
people
back
downtown
City
staff
have
done
a
lot
of
legwork
on
this
new
strategy.
It
is
well
planned
and
clearly
thought
out.
AF
Know
next
time,
I
promise.
Okay,
it's
a
deal.
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
counselors,
for
having
me
here
today.
My

a
lot
of
you
I'm,
the

but
also
back
to

Elgin

gazelling
in
Westbrook
I'm,
fully
in
favor
of
the
city
of
Ottawa,
staff's
main
recommendation
in
today's
report
to
create
a
municipal,
Services
Corporation
to
replace
the
Byron
Market
Bia
I
believe
that
this
change
is
long
overdue.
AF
As
the
Byron
Market
governance
has
been
dominated
by
two
narrow
perspective
for
too
long,
which
has
helped
to
create
a
monoculture
that
doesn't
serve
the
byword
market
or
ottawa's
long-term
interests
to
be
sustainable.
The
byword
market
needs
to
be
a
thriving
mixed-use
urban
area
that
appeals
to
both
the
visitors
and
Ottawa
residents
alike,
a
thriving
District
that
has
a
reputation
for
being
safe,
compelling,
culturally
diverse
and
fun.
AF
In
order
for
this
Municipal
Services
Corporation
to
succeed
in
its
mandate,
I
believe
that
the
council
must
devote
a
great
deal
more
of
financial
resources
to
the
byword
market
as
a
whole.
Given
its
outsized
importance
in
contributing
to
ottawa's
reputation
both
locally
and
internationally
I,
don't
believe
that
a
Citywide
tax
or
Levy
is
appropriate
in
this
case
to
support
this
District
I.
AF
I
firmly
believe
that
any
success
in
restoring
the
market
to
the
Crown
Jewel
that
it
once
was
must
start
with
Safety
and
Security.
If
people
don't
feel
safe,
they
won't
visit
plain
and
simple
I
applauded
our
new
mayor's
campaign,
Province
to
locate
a
police
Detachment
in
the
heart
of
the
Byron
market
and
hope
that
it
comes
to
fruition
soon,
while
larger
Community
police
presence
will
help
much
more
Social.
AF
F
AF
I
would
think
at
least
two
one
from
businesses
and
one
from
Property
Owners.
They
are
very
different
stakeholder
groups
in
a
lot
of
cases.
Sometimes
they
have
a
interest
aligned,
but
in
in
many
cases
they
don't
and
I
think
given
how
large
they
are
in
terms
of
stakeholders,
they
should
at
least
each
have
a
seat
on
the
board,
and
again
you
heard
from
some
other
property
owners
that
they
would
be
quite
happy
to
raise
a
levy,
but
they
want
some
representation.
AF
Q
Q
My
question
is:
if
you
could
sort
of
shortlist
what
you
think,
the
main
reasons
are
that
people
don't
want
to
come
to
the
market
anymore.
You
talked
about
Safety
and
Security,
as
one
of
the
other
delegations
has
raised
that
we've
heard
that
time
and
time
again
is
there
anything
else
you
want
to
bring
to
our
attention
that
you
think
needs
to
be
addressed
as
part
of
the
new
makeup
of
this
Corporation.
AF
Absolutely
and
I'll
reiterate
the
monoculture.
We
need
to
give
a
greater
variety
of
reasons
for
people
to
go
to
the
market
other
than
just
bars
and
the
occasional
restaurant
there.
You
know
I
I
started
working
in
the
Bible
Market
when
I
was
13
years
old
and
the
diversity
of
interest
that
brought
people
down
there
was
extraordinary
and
over
time
it's
just
created
this
little
funnel,
where
there's
less
and
less
reasons
to
go
there
and
I'd
love
to
see
that
broad
diversity
happen
and
I.
J
AF
I'm
not
Mr
Liebert,
Council
labor.
You
know
I
referenced
in
my
statement,
both
an
increase
in
Social
Services
support
of
which
I'm
acutely
aware
lacks
and
policing
so
that
people
feel
safer.
Both
this
isn't
all
of
the
above
solution.
It
is
not
and
I,
don't
believe,
putting
more
just
more
police
on
the
streets
are
going
to
make.
People
feel
more
safe,
but
I
do
know
that
a
greater
police
presence,
especially
in
a
community
policing
model,
is
going
to
help.
People
feel
more
safe
it.
AF
It
just
is
when,
when
every
night
on
the
news
you
hear
about
another
shooting
or
another
stabbing,
you
know
these
things
need
to
be
addressed
for
people
to
be
able
to
feel
safe,
going
to
work
there
or
to
visit
there
just
bottom
line.
But
it's
it's
it's
in
all
of
the
above
solution.
That
I
believe
is
required.
Okay,.
J
We're
not
allowed
to
debate
so
we'll
have
that
chat
on
the
corner,
I'm
sure
soon
and
just
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
question
that
you
posed
to
court
with
respect
to
the
community
engagement
Group,
which
is
I,
think
a
much
more
effective
way
of
dealing
with
challenges
in
the
market
that
ultimately
will
help
everybody
who,
whose
space
the
market
is
including
the
unhoused,
be
able
to
better
take
advantage
of
this
gem
in
the
city.
So
thank
you
for
that,
and
thank
you
for
challenging
court
on
that.
M
Much
mayor,
thanks
for
being
here,
I,
wanted
to
ask
you
a
couple
questions.
The
first
is
around
the
tax
reduction
that
this
Council
has
passed
for
small
businesses
I'm
wondering
if
businesses
are
seeing
that
being
passed
along
to
them
by
the
landlords
that
own
those
buildings.
Are
you
seeing
a
15
reduction
for
small
businesses
in
the
market
that
count
that
that
was
council's
intent
is
to
see
those
pass
along?
Do
you
know
if
that's
happening
or
not,.
AF
M
The
second
question:
I
guess,
comes
around
councilor
leapers,
a
question
I
suppose,
given
your
comments,
you
would
support
a
mental
health
response.
Team
in
Auto
we've
been
very
slow
to
get
one
started
here,
despite
widespread
support
for
it
both
around
the
table
and
in
the
community
I
suppose
you
would
support
that
sort
of
a
response
team.
M
You
know
unarmed
folks
that
can
help
people
that
are
houseless
that
are
using
drugs
that
need
support
for
mental
health
crisis
that
they
may
be
going
through,
which
I
think
is
what
we're
seeing
in
the
market.
Not
so
much
a
I'd
argue,
that's
a
much
more
prevalent
issue
in
terms
of
people's
health
and
needs.
Then
some
of
the
policing
issues
mentioned
so
I
I.
Suppose
you
would
support
a
mental
health
response
team
in
Ottawa
getting
started
and
being
present
in
the
market.
A.
AF
Hundred
percent
and
many
smart
people
have
suggested
that
it
is
co-located
with
police.
Mental
health
and
homeless
supports
you
know
if
they
can
work
in
tandem.
This
would
be
an
amazing
thing,
and,
and
yes,
it
is
a
much
more
prevalent
issue.
Unfortunately,
the
the
crime
gets
much
more
of
the
headlines
and
scares
people
away
from
coming
down,
but
I
believe
seeing
it
every
day
that
the
homeless
and
mental
health
issues
are
much
more
prevalent.
Thank.
T
T
Thank
you
for
that
I'm
wondering
if
that's
tied,
also
to
your
earlier
comment
about
co-locating,
the
three
different
service
providers,
police,
homelessness
and
mental
health.
The
challenge
is
people's
working
hours,
police
work
24
hours
a
day.
Not
everybody
else
does
and
that's
what
that's
one
of
the
challenges
we
have
right
to
try
to
make
all
groups
work
24
hours
a
day,
it's
something
that
people
don't
want
to
do.
AF
Correct
and
and
I'm
not
advocating
for
24
hours
a
day,
I'm
advocating
for
Saturday
and
Sunday
during
the
day,
because
that's
when
the
bulk
of
the
the
visitors
are
there
and
evenings
even
till
10
pm
instead
of
7
PM,
we
have
lots
of
Staff
who
work
mostly
nights
and
weekends,
and
it's
it
doesn't
have
to
be.
You
know
a
city
hall
model
of
ours
or
or
any
regular
business
model
of
ours.
We're
hiring
The
City
is
hiring
these
people
in
order
to
represent
the
city
when
residents
are
there.
T
Do
you
think
that
is
actually
the
best
model
one
one
seat
on
a
board,
then
that
may
be
that
business
owner
doesn't
represent
all
the
different
various
types
of
business
owners,
depending
on
how
it
rotates,
because
the
previous
delegation
indicated
it
might
be
better
for
staff
to
work
out
a
way
to
make
sure
the
landlords
and
business
owners
have
more
of
a
say
of
some
sort.
Maybe
they're
a
subcommittee
or
something
like
that.
Are
you
really
stuck
on
the
one
two
board
seats,
I.
AG
AG
It's
a
lot
and
if
you
think
about
the
notion
that
our
City's
brand
is
the
sum
of
the
experiences
that
people
have
in
our
city
and
the
stories
that
they'll
tell
about
our
city,
then
just
even
these
delegates
alone
have
a
considerable
impact
on
influencing
ottawa's
brand
awareness.
Unfortunately,
a
quick
look
at
any
travel
review
site,
big
TripAdvisor,
for
example,
about
ottawa's
byward
Market-
demonstrates
that
the
stories
of
many
visitor
visitors,
including
convention
delegates,
are
not
currently
helping
our
brand
and
these
negative
reviews
risk
deterring
future
visitors
or
worse.
AG
Fortunately,
Redevelopment
and
investment
in
our
hard
hit
downtown
core,
such
as,
what's
being
outlined
in
the
byword
market.
Public
realm
plan
have
the
potential
to
act
as
catalysts
to
revitalize
this
important
destination
for
our
city,
but
to
achieve
outcomes
that
have
that
can
both
improve
the
visitor
experience
and
the
quality
of
life
of
our
community.

AH
Cliff
good
morning,
City
councilors,
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
you
speak.
Regarding
the
byward
market
strategic
alignment
initiative,
my
name
is
suling
ching
and
I'm.
The
president
and
CEO
of
the
Ottawa
Board
of
Trade
and
I
am
pleased
to
present
regarding
the
transformation
of
the
byword
market,
a
significant
asset
for
our
businesses,
our
community
and
our
economy.
The
Board
of
Trade
is
the
voice
of
business
and
a
key
advocate
for
economic
development
in
our
nation's
capital.
AH
Our
mission
is
to
cultivate
a
thriving
world-class
business,
Community,
one
that
one
that
drives
affordable,
inclusive
and
sustainable
city
building
and
Community
Prosperity.
The
Ottawa
Board
of
Trade
supports
the
establishment
of
the
byword
Market
District
Authority
as
a
model
that
leverages
the
strengths
and
opportunities
of
the
area
to
drive
city
building
and
our
economic
growth
agenda.
I
want
to
say,
congratulations
and
thank
you
to
City
staff
and
key
stakeholders
for
a
robust
review
and
key
recommendations
to
consolidate
and
modernize
the
governance
and
administrative
model
for
the
Byron
Market
District.
AH
This
district
is
a
critically
important
part
of
how
we
can
shape
the
future
of
our
city
and
Elevate
the
lives
of
our
citizens.
You
are
recommended
streamlined
approach,
is
an
investment
for
our
future,
optimizing
our
resources
and
relationships
to
One,
Vision
and
plan,
so
that
we
can
a
attract
and
leverage
New,
Opportunities
B,
build
on
and
and
sustain
our
current
assets
and
see,
calibrate
and
integrate
key
objectives
related
to
climate
action,
diversity
and
inclusion
and
economic
development.
AH
This
new
model
is
a
great
example
of
how
we
can
further
cultivate
an
environment
in
which
businesses
can
Thrive
by
simplifying
Communications
and
operations,
as
well
as
aligning
marketing
and
programming.
This
action
will
drive
business
confidence,
support
small
businesses
and
attract
private
sector
investment
as
well
as
Talent
together.
We
must
protect
and
enhance
a
world-class
quality
of
life
in
this
post-pandemic
world,
where
many
Global
cities
are
diligently
planning
and
incentivizing
heavily
to
attract
business,
investment
and
talent.
A
strong
Community
needs
all
parts
to
thrive.
Our
downtown,
the
core
of
our
city,
continues
to
be
challenged.
AH
Creating
a
diverse
and
vibrant
downtown
is
foundational
to
the
long-term
cultural
and
economic
well-being
of
our
city
and
our
region.
Now
is
the
time
for
Ottawa
to
thrive
by
Shoring
up
on
our
strengths
and
focusing
on
the
levers
that
will
generate
the
greatest
impact
long
term.
Innovative
infrastructure
is
critical
to
economic
growth
and
a
key
factor
in
determining
where
people
choose
to
live
and
where
businesses
choose
to
invest.
Advancing
a
key
area
like
the
barwood
market
would
optimize
our
investments
and
drive
growth.
AH
Thank
you
once
again,
mayor
Sutcliffe
and
city
council
and
all
the
staff
for
your
commitment
to
economic
growth
and
Innovation.
On
behalf
of
the
Board
of
Trade,
we
are
ready
to
support
the
transformation
of
the
byword
market,
our
the
downtown
and
our
city.
Thank
you
for
your
ongoing
support
of
the
businesses
and
we
value
the
partnership
with
the
city
as
we
work
to
protect
and
enhance
the
quality
of
life
for
everyone
in
Canada's
capital
region.
Thank
you.
Q
Thanks
mayor
and
thank
you
for
your
delegation,
I
wanted
to
ask
you
a
similar
question.
I
asked
another
delegate:
can
you,
as
the
CEO
of
the
Board
of
Trade
list
the
top
three
issues
you
hear
from
businesses
that
are
located
in
the
market
that
are
challenging
the
Vitality
of
the
market
overall?
What
what
can
you
pinpoint
for
us
this
morning
are
three
top
issues
you'd
like
to
see
addressed.
AH
F
AI
Morning
and
good
morning,
everyone
on
the
committee
Denver
Community
association's
work
to
program
Parkdale
Park
for
more
than
20
years,
and
the
Parkdale
Market
helped
and
supported
many
of
these
events.
They
were
the
ones
more
than
20
years
ago
that
actually
helped
us
get
some
storage
space
in
the
Parkdale
field
house,
which
allowed
us
to
do
events
rather
than
haul
stuff
there
back
and
forth
multiple
times
every
year.
AI
AI
We
share
those
resources
and
we've
been
able
to
provide
some
of
those
resources
and
support
to
other
groups
and
activities
as
well,
so
Community
use
and
storage
at
Parkdale
Fieldhouse
is
vital
for
the
community
building
that
we're
all
doing
and
have
done
for
many
years
now.
The
map
produced
shows
the
entire
field
house.
Under
the
authority
of
the
byword
Market
District
Authority.
AI
We
have
a
great
relationship
with
Zach
Taylor.
However,
will
the
next
executive
director
be
so
supportive?
We
don't
want
to
leave
that
to
chance
we'd
like
to
see
the
dotted
line
on
the
Parkdale
Market
operational
boundary
map
that
delineates
the
Parkdale
Park
and
play
area
that
delineates
that
so
that
it's
part
of
the
dotted
area,
which
is
the
Parkdale
Park
and
play
area
jointly
programmed
by
the
city
of
Ottawa,
the
MSC
Wellington
West
Bia
and
hittenberg
Community
Association.
AI
We
like
to
see
that
line
go
through
part
of
the
field
house,
so
that
we
have
certainty
for
the
future
and
I've
been
back
and
forth
with
staff,
and
they
provided
some
responses.
But
the
wording
of
the
responses
still
leaves
a
lot
of
worry
as
to
how
this
joint
use
of
the
field
house
will
manifest
and
so
we'd,
like
some
clear
wording
and
we'd
like
that
line,
redrawn
really
so
that
we
know
where
we
stand
for
the
future.
AI
We
also
hope
to
see
some
branding
calling
Parkdale
Market
Parkdale
Market,
to
avoid
any
confusion
with
the
byword
market.
The
name
Ottawa
markets
was
confusing
enough.
It
really
needs
to
be
branded
as
the
Parkdale
market
and
we're
really
thrilled
to
have
the
city's
support
for
the
100th
birthday
of
the
Parkdale
Market
next
year.
AI

Thank
you
very
much
mayor.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation.
Cheryl
I
share.
All
of
your
concerns
a
little
bit
later,
when
I
have
the
opportunity
to
ask
questions
to
staff
I'll
be
asking
them
if
they'll
take
Direction
in
the
course
of
creating
the
new
agreements
between
the
city
and
the
MSC,
with
respect
to
the
field
house,
to
take
it
as
explicit
direction
that
that
agreement
carve
out
and
and
guarantee
the
community
groups
their
space
in
the
field
house
I
hope
that
will
be
satisfactory

Without
a
doubt,
the
Bible
is
the
most
one
of
the
most
beloved
public
spaces
in
Ottawa
it
is
ottawa's
Premier,
artistic
and
cultural
Hub,
sorry
Jeff.
It
is
located
in
urban
historic
locations,
steeped
in

indigenous

Irish
history.
This
unique

attracts
millions

around
the

to

A
bit
about
my
history
with
the
byword
when
I
moved
to
Ottawa
about
20
years
ago,
I
was
a
waitress
at
a
place
called
the
cabin
on
York
Street.
We
had
a
mechanical
bull
I
learned
a
lot
from
being
a
server
I
learned,
effective
communication
from
our
regular
and
tourist
customers.
I
learned
how
to
listen.
This
was
a
time
when
the
Atkins
diet
was
really
popular
and
we
had
a
lot
of
interesting
food
orders.
AC
I
learned
problem
solving,
especially
around
Staffing
for
things
like
the
lull
of
the
midweek
to
big
events
like
Canada
day
I
learned
patience,
please
always
tip
your
servers
and
I
learned
social
perceptiveness,
especially
around
safety
and
customers.
That
drank
excessively
the
Byron
Market
of
20
years
ago
is
facing
a
lot
of
the
same
challenges.
AC
I
saw
then,
but
on
steroids
to
be
blunt,
rapid
intensification,
the
over
concentration
of
Social
Services
in
Ward,
12
and
haphazard
rules
and
regulations
not
aligned
on
the
various
levels
of
government,
plus
the
housing
and
opioid
crisis,
has
meant
that
no
one
is
Happy.
The
businesses
are
not
happy.
The
residents
house
and
unhoused
are
definitely
not
happy
and
the
feedback
that
I
get
over
and
over
is
there's
too
many
meetings
and
not
enough
action.
Today
is
the
day
we
get
to
action.
AC
I'm,
encouraging
everyone
to
get
on
that
mechanical
bull,
I'm
happy
to
not
only
support
the
move
towards
the
new
District
Authority,
but
I
encourage
everyone
to
check
out
other
Municipal
service
corporations
such
as
Granville
Island
and
The
Distillery
District.
These
are
operationally
self-sustaining
and
have
found
harmonious
balance
between
residents,
businesses,
cultural
life
and
tourism.
AC
AC
O
All
have
the
same
objective:
we
want
to
make
this
a
world-class
destination.
Let's
work
together
to
optimize
the
commercial
performance
and
to
create
new
tourist
marshes
to
focus
on
position,
positioning
our
buy
wood
Market
as
a
unique
destination.
We
have
to
put
visitors
at
the
heart
of
our
action.
We
have
to
to
personalize
our
approach
towards
visitors.
We
have
to
work
actively
to
make
this
a
destination
to
stimulate
the
development
of
innovative
projects,
to
improve
the
lives
of
all
residents,
no
matter
their
level
of
income.
AC
Q
And
when
I
travel
I
go
to
markets,
I
make
it
a
point
to
go
to
cities
markets
wherever
I
travel
to
see
that.
But
we
have
to
have
an
honest
conversation
as
well.
The
market
has
been
on
life
support
for
years.
Some
believe
that
the
less
rights
have
already
been
given
and
many
have
expressed
legitimate
concerns
with
the
market
overall
Safety
and
Security
is
one
piece,
but
it's
it's
that
destination
draws.
Why
do
I
want
to
come
from
my
home
outside
of
the
downtown
court
to
come
to
the
market?
Q
So
there's
there's
different
Target
markets
that
we
want
to
attract
down
to
the
market.
But
that's
why
I
asked
some
of
the
delegates
today.
What
do
you
believe
the
top
few
issues
are
that
we
have
to
address,
because
we
need
to
have
an
honest
conversation
going
forward.
I
have
some
governance
questions
to
start
off
the
Bia
current
Bia
from
what
I
understand
is
is
winding
down.
There
was
no
Levy
charge
this
year.
The
office
is
closed.
Z
Cia
has
been
asked
table
as
part
of
the
working
group
through
the
last
18
months
and
it's
been
their
their
decision
to
wind
down
operations,
but
I
can
assure
you
that
the
board
is
still
intact,
so
they
do
still
exist
and
in
fact
they
are
spending
surplus
funds
to
manage
some
social
media
and
marketing
through
the
spring
and
summer
season.
As
they
wind
down
the
operations
headed
towards
a
repeal
of
the
bylaw.
Z
The
byword
Market
District
Authority
is
still
the
municipal
Services
Corporation.
So
the
structure
that's
in
place
right
now
for
the
municipal
Services
Corporation
remains
so
the
MSC
is
accountable
to
council.
There
is
one
member
and
it
is
Council
and
they
typically
report
out
at
an
annual
general
meeting
of
the
member
every
year,
and
that
will
happen
this
year
on
June,
the
28th
at
Council.
Q
In
his
presentation,
Mr
Curry
referenced
that
the
boundary
for
this
area
should
be
fluid
and
I
have
some
concerns
with
that,
because
I
think
there's
some
advantages
of
saying
here
is
the
actual
boundary,
particularly
if
we're
going
to
talk
about
a
levy
and
come
back
to
committee
and
Council.
If
we
want
to
talk
about
expanding
that
boundary
or
shrinking
that
boundary,
can
you
just
elaborate
on
the
word
fluid
in
that
regard?.
Y
Thanks
chair,
there
are
many
boundaries:
the
Byron
market
area,
we've
got
a
Heritage
Conservation
District
council's
approved
a
special
economic
District.
We
have
the
public
realm
plan
boundary,
so
what
the
working
group
did
is
looked
at.
What
the
nucleus
of
the
Byron
Market
was,
where
the
most
commercial
assessment
is
where
the
most
investment
needs
to
be
in
terms
of
public
realm,
and
that
business
case
that
we've
developed
is
predicated
on
that
boundary.
What
I
meant
by
fluid
mayor
is
that
it
is
somewhat
of
an
artificial
boundary.
Y
Yes,
they
will
maintain
that
level
to
a
higher
order
of
of
place
keeping.
Yes,
they
will
load
it
up
with
pageantry
and
events,
but
they
will
be
very
cognizant
of
their
surroundings.
The
social
service
agencies
that
surround
them,
the
other
public
spaces
that
surround
them,
the
other
business
groups
that
surround
them
and
over
time
as
this
organization
matures
they
may
wish
to
expand
further
as
the
business
case
and
the
Financial
Risk
is,
is
mitigated
in
collaboration
with
the
community.
Q
Recommendation
5
talks
about
a
special
area
Levy
to
support
the
Mandate
of
the
district
Authority.
When
you
splice
that
out
it
doesn't
mean
the
annual
operating
costs
to
keep
the
authority
afloat.
It
talks
I
think
what
you're
getting
at
our
special
projects
that
you
want
to
that
have
been
agreed
upon
to
augment
the
overall
enjoyment
of
the
area.
Can
you
just
confirm
that
please
and
then,
if
that's
the
case,
if
my
interpretation
is
correct,
how
does
the
authority
receive
funding
on
an
annual
basis
to
pay
staff
and
and
address
other
operating
costs.
Y
So,
chair
on
your
on
your
first
question,
absolutely
the
intention
would
be
that
the
levy
would,
if
enacted,
would
go
towards
very
specific
projects.
Council
may
be
familiar
with
mosquito
Levy
in
Canada
North
Sound
attenuation
wall
that
was
levied
in
Canada
North
Stonebridge
Golf
Course
acquisition,
so
we
have
some
familiarity
with
with
with
Levy's.
Howard
must
be
a
very
specific
project,
subject
to
extensive
consultation
and
I
must
stress
a
vote
within
the
community
and
then
brought
forward
to
council.
This
is
a
long
process.
Y
This
is
an
option
of
of
several
before
the
board
in
terms
of
the
operating
budget
of
four
million
dollars.
It's
built
up
with
rents
from
the
retail
spaces
that
that
are
managed
by
right
now,
Ottawa
markets,
farmers
markets,
which
is
very
modest
Revenue,
but
also
handing
over
the
public
Realms,
so
think
of
the
revenues
that
currently
are
extracted
from
the
market.
Patios,
temporary
construction,
encroachments,
special
events,
curbside
management.
Y
Those
types
of
revenues
will
now
now
form
part
of
the
business
model
for
this
organization,
plus
by
handing
over
custodianship
of
these
spaces.
We're
anticipating
that
they're
going
to
be
able
to
get
into
Financial
arrangements
with
other
parties
that
will
be
of
a
net
benefit
to
their
operating
bottom
line.
Q
Z
So
members
at
large
to
the
board
are
solicited
city-wide
and
they
are
brought
forward
in
terms
of
a
nomination
to
the
board,
based
on
experience
or
subject
matter,
our
expertise
and
investment
in
strong
interest.
They
may
have
for
the
area
or
city
building
in
general,
and
that
has
worked
very
very
well
for
the
municipal
Services
Corporation.
For
the
last
five
years
and
that's
the
approach
that
the
working
group
and
staff
subsequently
in
our
staff
report
is
recommending
on
a
go
forward.
Q
Do
you
acknowledge
the
first
delegation,
in
particular
representatives
of
private
property
and
landowners
who
articulated
that
and
Mr
Beckley
said
this
as
well?
He
wasn't
simply
sold
on
on
one
model
per
se,
but
that
there
needs
to
be
a
a
legitimate
way
to
cultivate
feedback
from
people
who
are
present
every
day
in
the
market.
So
will
you
make
that
commitment
that,
if
we're
not
going
to
add
a
second
business
representative
to
the
board
that
there
be
a
real
way
going
forward
for
that
type
of
two-way
feedback
to
be
cultivated,
Earnest
applied
forward.
Z
Thank
you,
Mr
Marin
and
absolutely
the
business
advisory
committee.
We've
developed.
The
terms
of
reference
will
be
comprised
of
up
to
10
property
and
business
owners
and
built
into
the
terms
of
reference
that
will
go
to
the
board
is
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
good
balance
of
representation
and
that's
the
opportunity
there'll
also
be
opportunity
for
collaboration
on
understanding
and
ad
hoc
committees
that
will
be
developed
through
the
municipal,
Services
Corporation
board
and
through
the
strategic
planning
process.
That
will
require
a
considerable
consultation
with
the
business
and
Resident
community
yeah.
J
J
It
is
an
anchor
in
our
community
for
those
who
are
interested
in
how
strongly
I
feel
about
the
importance
of
Parkdale
Park
as
a
as
a
city-controlled
park
within
our
community.
Please
take
a
look
at
the
comments
that
I
wrote.
Thanks
also
for
the
change
in
the
draft
language
that
I
saw
with
respect
to
the
map
that
indicates
the
park
is
programmed
by
a
partnership
in
the
community.
That's
done
some
fantastic
work
over
the
course
of
the
past
decade
or
so.
J
I
guess.
The
first
thing
I
will
do
is
I
will
just
ask
you
with
respect
to
Ms
parrott's
comments,
whether
you'll
take
it
as
direction
to
achieve
a
guaranteed
space
for
a
community-based
organizations
and
the
Hinton
Community
Association,
in
particular,
in
the
course
of
crafting
a
use
agreement
for
the
Parkdale
Park
field
house
between
the
city
and
MSC.
J
Yes,
mayor,
okay,
thank
you
very
much
for
that.
So
one
of
the
questions
that
has
been
posed
I
believe
it
was
Mr.
Leahy
early
on
is
respect
to
Bringing
farming
Farm
vendors
seven
day
a
week,
agricultural
produce
vending
back
to
our
markets,
Mechanicsville
I
think,
is
widely
considered
to
be
a
food
desert
within
the
city.
Parkdale
Market
is
within
easy,
walking
distance
of
much
of
Mechanicsville.
Y
Foreign
I'll
first
start
off
by
saying
that
you'll
be
hearing
from
Zach
Taylor
Who's,
the
executive
director
of
Auto
markets
on
June
28th
at
the
meeting
of
the
members,
the
AGM
for
auto
markets
and
Zach
I
feel
can
speak
more
authoritatively
than
I
can
or
Cindy
or
Amanda.
With
respect
to
your
question
counselor,
but
certainly
you
know,
our
view
is
on
the
macro
level.
The
city
has
evolved
from
two
public
markets
Parkdale
and
byword.
Y
We
now
have
22
beloved
markets
in
many
of
your
Awards
and
so
let
alone
the
dynamic,
the
dynamic
of
farm
boy,
Home,
Depot
Costco,
now
entering
into
fresh
food
and
and
plantings,
the
farmer's
market
has
changed
within
within
Ottawa.
So
on
a
macro
level,
the
attractiveness
of
coming
down
twice
to
two
public
markets.
Seven
days
a
week
has
diminished
the
reality
of
farming.
Y
Now
in
Ontario
is
that
many
young
farmers
are
not
looking
to
to
to
participate
in
a
public
market
seven
days
a
week,
one
day
a
week,
two
days
a
week.
So,
on
the
macro
level,
there
are
certainly
challenges
that
all
farmers
markets
are
are
undertaking
that
are
not
just
specific
to
to
byword
and
into
Parkdale.
Y
But
I
do
want
to
note
and
I
think
you'll
hear
from
Zach
that
a
lot
of
good
things
are
going
on.
There
are
approximately
180
Farmers
Artisans
creators
that
are
on
the
auto
markets
roster
this
year,
so
they're
cycling
through
both
properties.
That
is
material.
That
is
that,
is
you
know
if
you
go
down
to
byword
or
Parkdale
on
a
Saturday
or
Sunday,
those
markets
are
full.
So
there
is
a
lot
of
good
good
things
happening
at
those
sites.
Y
By
word,
why
we're
investing
in
are
planning
to
invest
in
in
William
and
Bayern
Market
Square,
as
as
a
first
order
of
of
priority
is
because,
as
Mr
Leahy
indicated
as
Mr
becta
indicated,
there
is
definitely
a
dearth
at
those
at
those
properties
of
electrical
water
to
get
farmers
and
craters
down
to
those
sites
Parkdale
not
as
bad,
but
we're
missing
the
our
infrastructure
that
we
need
to
devise
folks
to
come
even
two
days
a
week.
So
Mr
dealer
will
have
a
lot
more
to
say
on
the
28th,
but
those
are
some
initial
thoughts.
J
Y
Again,
chair
Mr
dealer
will
have
more
to
say
on
that.
I
can
imagine
on
the
20th
a
very
good
question.
Our
view
is
it's
all
an
ecosystem.
It's
many
of
the
same
Farmers
creators
traveling
through
many
of
these
markets,
Ottawa
markets.
Now
the
buyer
Market
District
Authority
should
Council
approve.
This
report.
I
think
has
an
opportunity
to
be
a
leader
in
that
in
that
space
in
terms
of
the
curation
of
the
of
the
experience
a
resident.
Quite
frankly,
doesn't
that
doesn't
understand
or
care.
Y
Y
J
Y
Mayor
I'm
going
to
ask
my
colleague
the
director
of
community
Social,
Services
Mr
tuck,
to
join
me
here,
but
while
Chris
is
coming
up,
I'll
I'll
just
underlie
that.
Certainly
besides
Place
keeping
Community
safety
and
well-being
is
the
number
probably
the
number
one
issue
our
stakeholders
have
indicated
and
that's
why
you'll
you
see
it
so
Central
to
the
Mandate
of
this
organization.
It's
to
leverage
a
lot
of
what
the
city
of
Ottawa
has
been
doing
and
be
that
United
leader
in
this
space
but
I'll.
AJ
Thank
you,
mayor
yeah,
just
as
a
quick
update,
The
Well
there'll
be
a
council
report
at
the
end
of
June
with
regards
to
the
community
safety
well-being,
Plan
update,
so
that
will
have
more
information
on
progress
today.
The
priorities
and
next
steps,
the
CET
team
or
the
community
engagement
team
has
been
working
in
in
that
area
with
great
success.
AJ
AJ
AJ
The
goal
here
is
is
to
increase
some
of
the
services
with
the
day
programs
in
that
area
on
evenings
and
weekends.
This
will
obviously
promote
access
to
bathrooms,
to
crisis
services
and
and
just
respite
to
get
out
of
the
the
elements
if
needed,
and
so
those
are
some
of
the
highlights
happening
this
year.
Okay,.
J
Mr
Mayor
that
sounds
encouraging
and
the
the
payoff
for
us
as
a
city
will
be
huge
if
we
are
able
to
successfully
help
people
feel
safer,
but
the
and
the
the
the
best
investment
that
we
can
make
is
is
not
in
policing
in
the
market,
but
in
ensuring
that
everyone
can
coexist
in
in
their
space.
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
hearing
more
in
that
community
and
safety
well-being.
If
I'm
mayor.
L
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
wanted
to
thank
councilor
Libra
for
asking
that
last
question
regarding
Community
safety
and
well-being.
I
know
that
that
was
something
that
really
resonated
with
me
as
I
was
listening
to
the
delegates
that
knew
many
of
them
mentioned
that
that's
the
number
one
so
I'm
happy
to
hear
about
that
work.
That's
taking
place.
I'm
gonna
actually
go
off
on
a
little
bit
of
a
side.
Y
Mayor,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
question
very
good
question.
Counselor
dude
asks
you
know
in
terms
of
in
terms
of
good
problems
to
have.
We
have
600
hotel
rooms
under
construction
right
now
within
the
district
and
at
almost
a
thousand
residential
units,
both
condo
and
apartment,
under
construction,
four
cranes
up
and
that
doesn't
encount
all
the
all
the
developments
happening
down.
Y
There
will
also
be
a
standing
committee,
Community
safety
and
well-being
that
will
be
a
standing
committee
of
the
district
authorities
that
the
board
endorse
this
model
that
will
be
made
up
of
community
Representatives
that
will
feed
into
the
leadership
people
that
Mr
tuck
spoke
of.
Besides
that,
we
will
have
a
vendor
in
a
retail
standing
committee
that
will
also
solicit
the
impact
input
rather
of
all
residents
within
the
award.
So
many
means
for
the
for
the
community.
Both
on
the
project
and
on
the
governance
level
to
to
continue
to
provide
their
input.
L
I
do
appreciate
that
and
I
think
you
know
I'd
like
to
see
that
also
Incorporated
you,
you
mentioned
it
will
be
involved,
but
I
say
that,
because
you
know
when
people
live
in
a
community
including
a
market
in
a
busy
tourist
space,
they
have
unique
insights.
Maybe
more
Greenery
needed
more
benches
in
an
area.
You
know
a
great
a
dog
park.
L
If
we're
able
to
to
you
know,
have
our
kids
plan
to
play
structure
in
the
market,
so
I'm
just
putting
that
out
there
in
respect
to
that
I
now
have
a
a
financial
question:
that's
tied
to
it!
We're
talking
about
the
levy
you
put
the
map
up
in
regards
to
where
the
the
boundaries
would
be.
Are
you
also
looking
at
imposing
the
levy
or
instituting
the
lead
on
residential?
Are
you
talking
about
it
specifically
only
for
businesses
that
would
have
been
applied,
it
would
have
applied
to
under
the
former
Bia
Levy.
Z
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you,
councilor
dudas.
If
a
special
area
Levy
was
supported
by
the
community
and
ultimately
by
Council,
it
would
apply
to
all
rateable
property
within
a
defined
area
that
defined
area
would
be
again
subject
to
consultation
and
and
subject
to
a
vote
on
the
part
of
the
community.
So
if
you
consider
the
byward
Market
District
Authority
operational
boundary,
that's
included
in
the
staff
report
as
a
beginning,
there's,
clearly
an
area
of
influence
outside
of
that
area.
Z
That
would
benefit
potentially
from
the
a
project
initiative
that
was
subject
to
a
special
area
Levy
so
that
boundary
can
be
drawn
anywhere,
but
all
of
the
rateable
properties
within
that
boundary
would
be
subject
to
the
special
area.
Levy.
But
again,
we
cannot
stress
enough
that
it
is
subject
to
consultation
and
engagement
with
the
community
and
by
Community
that's
residential
property
owners
and
business
owners.
That's
everyone
within
the
community.
It
would
be
subject
to
the
final
endorsement
of
counsel
following
a
vote
by
the
community.
L
Okay,
that's
appreciated
because
once
again,
I
tie
it
back
to
the
fact
that
the
folks
who
are
living
in
the
market
or
adjacent
you
know
they're
just
as
invested
in
this
as
the
businesses.
Everyone
wants
to
see
this
area
Thrive
and
they
may
feel
that
it's
worth
the
investment,
much
like
those
who
are
living
in
the
connect
area
with
the
mosquito
programs.
We've
tried
levies
before
and
it's
been
established
for
residential
as
well.
So
that's
it
for
the
questions
for
me,
I'm
very,
very
happy
to
see
this
report
come
forward.
L
I,
look
forward
to
the
community
and
safety
well-being,
Plan
update
and
more
updates
on
the
public
realm
plan
and
how
that's
going,
but
I
have
such
high
hopes
for
the
byword
market.
It's
an
incredible
space.
It's
a
city
space.
We
are
all
invested
in
it
and
I'm
very
pleased
to
see
this
report
come
forward.
M
Very
much
mayor
and
Institute
has
actually
asked
the
exact
questions.
I
was
going
to
ask
on
those
two
pieces
and
I
agree
with
the
counselor
there
you
need.
We
need
to
find
a
way
to
have
local
residents
included,
particularly
some
of
them
will
have
the
levy
you
know.
I
guess
applied
to
them.
How
much
residential
is.
Is
there
in
that
area
that
you've
defined
in
the
map
that
you
included
in
the
report.
Y
Mayor
I
want
to
start
off
by
by
just
ensuring
that
that
committee
appreciates
that,
through
this
project,
we've
approached
that
the
best
place
to
visit
is
the
best
place
to
live,
so
the
need.
The
residents
councilor
Blount
has
been
very
consistent,
I
apologize
for
the
feedback,
it's
been
very
consistent,
as
has
a
lower
tan,
Community
Association.
Emphasizing
that
point
we
know
the
data
tells
us
that
the
market
has
a
has
a
difficulty
attracting
both
eight-year-olds
and
80
year
olds.
Y
We
found
that
through
the
public
realm
plan,
two
ends
of
the
scale,
both
from
a
residential
perspective
and
a
visitor
perspective.
In
terms
of
your
specific
person,
your
question
counselor
I'd,
have
to
take
that
away
and
look
at
the
exact
assessment.
But
again
as
Miss
Van
Buskirk
emphasized,
the
special
Levy,
if
ever
implemented
could
be
a
street
could
be
four
Streets
Could
Be
Ward,
it's
a
defined
geographic
area
that
would
have
to
be
determined
based
on
the
project
in
mind.
M
M
It
is
the
expectation,
though
I,
think
I
saw
a
figure
that
it
was
576
thousand
dollars
that
the
Bia
somewhere
around
there
previously
had
recouped
is
the
expectation
that
that
would
be
equal
to
that
or
close
to
that
in
terms
of
a
levy
that
would
come
or
or
what's
the
expectation
around
how
much
funds
could
be
raised
from
that
special
district.
Thank.
Z
You
mayor
the
work
remains
to
be
done
in
terms
of
considering
the
opportunity
for
a
particular
initiative,
particular
infrastructure
project,
a
particular
initiative
of
community
benefit.
It
could
be
related
to
the
community
engagement
team
and
potentially
raising
funds
to
support
that
type
of
Outreach
in
the
area.
Clearly,
with
the
service
downloads
and
revenue
generating
opportunities
that
the
MSC
will
have
provided
by
the
city.
Under
this
new
model,
they
will
be
generating
additional
Revenue.
Z
They
also
have
a
broadly
expanded
mandate
that
includes
all
of
the
prior
Bia
responsibilities,
and
an
order
of
magnitude
in
terms
of
the
levy
is
approximately
530.
550
000
I
would
think
minimally.
If
we
were
going
to
move
forward
with
a
special
area
Levy
as
a
recommendation
as
a
council,
we
would
be
recommending
certainly
recouping
that,
but
potentially
looking
to
generate
even
more
additional
funds.
Y
Thank
you
for
the
question
mayor.
Yes,
counselor.
In
2021,
when
Council
approved
the
public
realm
plan,
you
did
approve
a
direction
to
staff,
to
look
at
the
Redevelopment
of
the
parking
garage.
City
staff
did
Issue
a
request
for
expressions
of
interest.
Earlier
this
year
we
did
have
interest
from
the
private
sector
and
through
that
process,
going
to
a
significant
amount
of
information
in
terms
of
potential
recommendations
to
bring
forward
to
council.
Y
We
recently
engaged
call
years
project
leaders
out
of
their
Vancouver
and
Toronto
offices,
to
provide
our
staff
with
more
advice,
and
we
will
be
Consulting
with
stakeholders
community
members,
the
district
authority
over
the
course
of
the
summer
in
the
fall
and
expect
to
bring
a
report
forward
to
council
later.
This
fall
in
terms
of
next
steps.
Okay,.

Thank
you
mayor.
One
of
the
tasks
of
the
incoming
board
is
to
undertake
a
full
operational
and
organizational
review
of
the
current
MSC
staff
structure,
working
with
the
consultant
over
the
last
number
of
months.
They've
done
some
work
to
create
some
recommendations
and
that
information
will
be
provided
to
the
incoming
board
for
them
to
consider
as
they're
going
through
their
their
full
their
full
review.
AC
Z
I
I
do
know,
so
those
are
the
three
mem
Mr
Mayor.
Those
are
the
three
members
at
large
that
are
the
first
to
be
nominated
to
the
board,
subject
to
approval
of
the
member
on
June
the
28th.
None
of
those
members
live
in
Ward
12
to
my
knowledge,
they
were
recruited
and
nominated
and
ultimately
selected
by
the
working
group
to
be
brought
forward
based
on
a
very
robust
nomination
process,
a
competencies
Matrix
scoring.
Z
You
know
a
variety
of
things,
so
we
feel
confident
that
they
are
well
placed
and
well
experienced
to
bring
a
lot
of
significant
value
to
the
MSC
board
on
a
go
forward
and
one
of
the
other
things
that
the
board
will
be
tasked
to
do
in
the
very
early
days
following
June,
the
28th
will
be
to
fully
constitute
the
board.
There
will
be
an
additional
three
to
four
members
at
large
that
will
need
to
be
identified,
recruited,
nominated
and
ultimately
appointed
to
the
board
by
Council.
Okay,
