We
have
a
presentation
so
we'll
come
back
to
that
and
information
previously
sent
around
and
that's
it
so
we'll
go
to
our
first
item,
which
is
a
confederation
line,
update,
obviously
a
very
exciting
time
in
our
city,
as
we
start
to
count
down
towards
Saturday
and
the
service
of
the
LRT
and
mr.
man,
Kony
and
his
team
have
been
burning
the
midnight
oil
making
sure
everything
is
ready
for
Saturday,
and
we
thank
you
for
all
of
your
years
of
hard
work
on
this
John.
B
D
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
Missy,
the
first
presentation
is
on
stage
one
and
then
we'll
take
questions.
Then
I'll
turn
over
to
mr.
Morgan
for
stage
two
and
we'll
take
questions
on
that.
So
mr.
mayor
members
of
committee,
members
of
council,
four
days
until
the
biggest
milestone
in
Ottawa's
transit
history,
the
first
bus
rapid
transit
to
light
rail
transit
system
conversion
in
the
world,
the
busiest
LRT
line
on
opening
day
in
North
America,
so
many
firsts
and
locally
everyone
is
watching
the
transit
and
the
transportation
world
is
watching
us
also
from
across
North
America
and
worldwide.
D
So
nearly
a
decade
of
hard
work,
planning,
consulting
designing,
constructing
and
testing
will
become
a
reality.
This
Saturday
and
staff
from
our
team
across
the
city,
all
the
departments,
Rideau
Transit,
Group
and
Rio
transit
maintenance
are
working
literally
24/7,
ensuring
that
the
Confederation
Line
is
ready
for
our
customers.
In
our
great
city,
we've
been
running
many
many
drills
over
the
last
number
of
days
and
weeks
leading
up
to
launch,
though
that's
just
a
small
taste
of
some
of
the
drills
that
we've
been
doing
and
that's
to
ensure
that
we're
ready
for
anything.
D
That
comes
our
way,
and
this
is
what
the
best
practices
do:
everything
from
bio
hazards
to
evacuations
smoke
on
the
train
and
so
forth.
So
a
long
list
of
rehearsals
and
drills
and
lessons
learned
and
documentation
and
involvement
from
from
many
people.
The
drills
include
all
our
staff
or
operators,
our
controllers,
our
supervisors,
special
constables,
customer
service
and
emergency
protective
services,
fire
police,
paramedics
and
I
want
to
thank
them.
They've
been
together
with
us
on
this
journey
and
that's
again
ensuring
that
we're
ready
for
any
event.
D
We
we
had
a
dress
rehearsal
on
Saturday
I
want
to
thank
all
of
the
city
partners,
city
departments,
the
GM's
volunteered
staff
from
their
organizations
and
the
rehearsal
went
really
well.
It
did
a
couple
of
things.
People
were
given
specific
assignments,
so
we
could
test
not
just
the
systems
but
also
the
staff.
So
you
know
we
even
had
a
lost
child
scenario.
We
we
had
people
trying
to
ensure
that
all
the
systems
work
and
equally
important,
is
a
fresh
set
of
eyes
that
come
back
and
give
us
observations
and
logs
and
so
forth.
D
So
it
was
a
very
good
process
for
us.
We
also
held
a
lot
of
tours
for
many
stakeholders.
That's
a
small
sampling
of
the
list.
These
folks
were
very
appreciative
and
again
a
fresh
set
of
eyes
through
their
lenses
and
through
an
integrated
community
holistic,
bringing
everybody
from
the
city
in
because
that
system
is
for
everyone
built
with
the
latest
and
the
greatest
features
the
most
one
of
the
most
successful
systems
in
North
America
that
you've
invested
in
and
we've.
We
spared
no
expense
to
ensure
that
it's
all
inclusive,
safe
and
accessible
for
everyone.
D
Customer
outreach
we're
doing
a
lot
of
things
to
ensure
that
our
number
one
priority
is
clearly
focused
and
attended
to,
and
that's
our
customers
there's
a
lot
of
change
coming
for
everyone,
so
signs
at
bus
stops
and
stations,
I'm
sure
you've
seen
those
messaging
through
all
our
various
channels.
The
the
mail
outs
very
very
important.
We
started
those
last
Friday,
every
single
household
in
the
city
will
receive
one
and
then
a
second
mail
out
occurs
the
week
of
September
23rd.
That's
to
take
them
through
the
journey
of
the
changes,
the
red
vests.
D
Many
of
you
have
commented
about
the
visibility
of
the
red
vests,
both
at
your
counselor
meetings,
but
also
out
on
the
system
and
not
just
the
train
stations,
are
at
key
transfer
points
and
so
forth.
We're
working
on
a
very
concert,
a
concerted
effort
to
ensure
that
all
the
stations
and
the
amenities
are
have
a
deep-clean
so
that
they're
ready
for
our
customers.
That's
occurring
all
this
week
and
that's
ensuring
that
everything
is
up
to
standard
on
Saturday.
There
is
a
media
event
in
the
storm
ceremonial.
D
It's
going
to
mark
the
opening
of
the
line
and
it
starts
at
Toni's
pasture.
There
will
be
formal
remarks
by
all
three
levels
of
our
funding
partners
and
representations
from
the
indigenous
leaders
who,
of
course,
play
a
critical
part
in
this
project
and
then
guests
will
be
invited
to
board
the
train
for
the
inaugural
ride.
Public
opening
is
at
2
p.m.
on
Saturday
lots
of
questions
on
that
there's,
a
lot
of
thought
that's
been
given
to
that.
D
There
is
staging
that
needs
to
occur
and
so
forth
terms
of
opening
up,
sequentially
and
and
and
everything
else
will
have
red
vests
staff
all
over
the
place,
flooding
the
system
to
ensure
that
we're
there
to
assist
anyone
and
then
from
2:30
to
4:30
at
all
the
stations
along
the
line,
counselors
are
doing
special
events
with
local
musicians,
our
representatives
to
discuss
the
fantastic
works
of
arts
that
are
in
the
stations.
So
that's
something
that
we're
very
proud
of,
and
thank
you
to
all
the
counselors
that
have
participated
in
that,
so
key
dates
for
customers.
D
All
of
this
is
out
there.
You've
heard
it
many
times
it's
this.
This
becomes
a
question
of
repeating
it,
repeating
it
and
making
sure
that
we
can
support
everyone.
We
have
the
three
weeks
of
parallel
bus
service
that
will
remain
in
place
on
Sunday
October.
The
6th
your
bus
network
undergoes
major
changes
to
align
with
the
Confederation
line
and
the
bus
service
gets
peeled
off
its
removed
customers.
D
You
know
if
they're
asking
you
where
do
I
go
for
information
OC,
Transpo
dot-com
is
your
first
best
bet
on
planning
out
your
route,
remembering
that,
while
some
people
may
want
to
try
to
take
in
all
of
the
changes,
what
is
important
for
the
commuter
is
their
commute
and
we
and
the
many
sessions
we've
had
and
the
feedback.
When
you
see
the
people,
the
red
vests
at
these
stations,
it's
all
about
that
every
one
of
those
members
have
been
trained.
D
Check
mailboxes
is
another
reminder
too
to
our
residents,
and
if
you
can
do
that
through
your
channels,
that's
also
helpful
and
then
the
second
notice
is
is
coming
through.
Also
on
the
23rd
on
the
14th,
there
will
be
some
changes,
so
the
bus
service
at
Blair
will
be
adjusted
to
serve
the
new
bus
platforms.
And
yes,
it
has
been
stress
tested,
as
you
know,
if
you
recollect,
we
did
that
a
few
months
ago,
westbound
the
bus
stops
at
Albert
and
Bayview
are
going
to
be
moved
to
Jason
to
the
station
plaza
again.
D
This
is
a
lot
of
information.
It's
relevant
to
those
people
that
use
it
and
they've
been
adjusting
their
their
their
plans.
Accordingly,
the
entrance
to
Santa
raw
station
from
Tremblay
will
reopen
that's
important
and
the
fare
paid
zones
that
Tony's
herdmen,
Blair
and
baby.
You
come
into
effect
and
then
service
adjustments
for
the
routes
that
are
listed
at
the
bottom
of
the
slide.
D
Then
we
move
into
service
integration
and
the
expansion,
so
everything's
mapped
out
in
terms
of
what
we
have
to
do.
We
have
to
remove
the
detours
for
the
East
End
councilors
you'll
be
happy
to
know.
We
are
pushing
MTO
very
hard
that
the
first
one
that
needs
to
come
off
is
the
417
connection.
I
know
you've
waited
long
and
hard
for
that
one
there
we
we've
prioritized
it
accordingly
than
the
Lee's
Avenue
one,
and
then
there
is
work
that
our
TG
has
to
do.
D
The
removal
of
the
eastbound
and
overhead
bus
lanes
on
Scott,
Street
I,
know
councilor
leapers
been
asking
about
that.
So
we
briefed
him
on
that
and
then
the
Albert
Street
and
Booth
Street
adjustments.
Accordingly.
Also
we
have
to
do
some
signage
changes
on
174
can
assure
members
of
committee
and
councillors
that
mr.
Landry
and
his
team
are
the
quarterbacks
on
all
the
traffic
logistics,
we're
not
doing
anything
and
isolated.
It's
all
an
integrated
system,
all
integrated
mobilities
and
it's
all
users,
it's
cars,
automobiles
trucks,
cyclists,
pedestrians
and
so
forth.
D
And,
yes,
we've
had
a
few
glitches.
I
know
we
did
something
that
that
buggered
up
counts
are
harder
and
in
councillor
Brock
in
this
area,
but
we
move
quickly
to
adjust
that
with
their
support.
So
it's
an
integrated
transportation
system
and
we're
doing
that
accordingly,
then,
on
October
6th.
This
is
when
your
investment
kicks
in
of
the
five
million
dollars.
I
know
many
counselors
have
been
asking
about
that.
So
it's
literally
around
the
corner
over
a
hundred
routes
will
make
will
be
adjusted.
D
The
bus
volume
on
Albert
and
Slater,
one
of
the
dividends
of
your
of
your
investment,
will
reduce
significantly
and
then
you'll
have
better
faster
connections
with
your
the
investments
that
you've
also
made
and
there's
some
renumber
of
routes
and
again
we're
providing
information
through
various
channels.
We
will
remain
in
place
until
late
October
and
we've
built
the
plans
so
that
our
support
staff
can
stay
longer
if
they
need
to
so
we're
literally
monitoring
a
day
by
day.
D
B
E
You
mr.
mayor
mr.
mayor
last,
Wednesday
I
had
the
privilege
of
riding
the
system.
As
a
representative,
the
Council
on
Aging
I
was
accompanied
by
members
of
the
accessibility
community.
Oc
Transpo
had
organized
this.
We
were
to
test
the
train
to
look
at
a
couple
of
stations
and
I
want
to
tell
you
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
very
exciting
event.
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
this
happening,
we
assembled
at
the
Williams
Street
entrance
to
Rideau
station.
That's
a
deep
station.
You
take
four
escalators
to
get
down
there.
E
I
can
tell
you
that
the
station
itself
is
airy.
Is
the
well-lit
is
dry
just
to
underline
that
little
element
we
checked
out
the
gates.
We
checked
out
the
fare
payments.
We
checked
out
the
signage,
very
impressive,
the
art
as
well.
We
took
the
train
that
says
Wednesday
afternoon
at
1:00
o'clock.
Mr.
mayor,
some
of
you
may
recognize
the
timing
because
apparently
the
night
before
there
was
some
incidents
that
the
media
covered,
but
the
system
was
running
at
1:00
o'clock.
Wednesday
afternoon
we
took
the
train
out
to
herdmen
station,
which
is
a
fair
page.
E
We
had
some
minor
suggestions,
but
they
were
minor
part
of
the
teething
process,
but
overall
it
was
a
very
good
experience,
so
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
you've
already
had
some
of
you
already
being
on
the
system
and
already
know
this
already.
One
thing
I
did
discover
in
talking
to
OC
Transpo
staff
that
the
weekend
is
not
going
to
be
free
and
I.
Think
that's
a
marketing
misstep
that
this
council
should
correct
downstream
I.
Remember
when
the
Montreal
metro
opened
was
a
teenager
in
Montreal.
E
At
the
time
it
was
free
that
first
weekend
thousands
used
that
system
looked
at
all
the
stations
because
it
was
sold
as
every
station
was
individually
designed
and
it
was
to
be
an
instant
success.
Lord
knows
this
city
needs
a
bump
up
in
transit.
Ridership
here
is
a
marketing
opportunity,
particularly
on
a
weekend
when
the
demand
on
the
system
is
low
and
you
have
the
opportunity
to
not
only
come
out
and
test
what
you're
going
to
deal
with
on
Monday
with
rush
hour.
E
But
you
have
the
opportunity
to
bring
your
family
out
your
friends
out
and
just
look
at
this
modern
new
facility
that,
quite
frankly,
it
will
be
one
of
the
jewels
of
this
town.
So
I
want
to
leave
that
with
you.
I
suspect.
There's
some
work
behind
the
scenes
on
this
already
I
would
have
preferred
seeing
it
for
this
weekend.
Please
consider
that
for
the
future
because,
as
you
know,
no
selling
marketing
this
system
is
the
first
stage
of
a
multi-stage
system.
E
Stage
two
will
make
it
very
clear
to
the
residents
of
Ottawa
what
value
this
investment
is.
Stage,
one
is
only
14
kilometers
and
there's,
as
we
all
know,
there's
going
to
be
some
disruption
as
we
transition
over.
So
the
more
that
we
can
show
people
the
potential
of
the
system,
the
more
we're
going
to
attract
riders.
So
please
consider
in
the
future
a
fur
free
weekend
to
entice
the
residents
out
and
that's
my
message
today.
Mr.
mayor
thank.
B
F
:
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
your
exchange
with
the
green
party
member
from
Cape
Breton
kanso
I
was
listening
on
the
on
the
radio
to
that
and
I
thought.
You
did
a
great
job
clarifying
some
of
the
misconceptions
that
that
certain
green
party
candidate
from
Cape
Breton
kanso,
had
about
our
line
here
in
in
Ottawa
thanks
a
lot
yeah.
B
C
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I,
just
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
mr.
Mahoney
and
mr.
Morgan
and
their
team
for
all
their
work.
That
they've
done
on
this
project.
I've
had
the
honor
and
privilege
to
be
a
part
of
the
the
process
with
them
and
see
what
they're
doing
and
witness
what
our
residents
are
about
to
get
to
see
for
themselves
this
weekend.
And
so,
if
you
don't
mind,
I'd
like
to
take
the
opportunity
to
thank
them
here
at
Petco
for
their
work
and
and
reassure
residents
that
you
know
we
were
mr.
C
And
it
gives
me
great
confidence
to
know
that
these
issues
have
been
tested
and
there's
plans
in
place
for
when
something
happens,
to
ensure,
as
OC
Transpo
has
done
for
decades
in
the
city,
ensure
that
people
can
get
to
where
they're
going.
On
public
transportation,
no
matter
what
the
issue
is,
that
comes
up,
so
thank
you,
mr.
Mahoney
and
mr.
Morgan.
All.
G
Thank
you,
your
worship
and
I
just
want
to
concur
with
councilor
hubli
I
want
to
get
my
thanks
to
staff
as
well.
I
mean
we're
finally
here,
and
no
thanks
aren't
good
enough
at
this
time,
but
I
hope
Council
has
an
opportunity
at
some
point
in
the
autumn
to
recognize
you
know
all
the
hands
that
went
into
this
from
start
to
finish.
G
It
really
is
quite
a
feat:
I've
talked
about
sort
of
emergency
process
for
over
a
year
now,
because
I
really
want
people
who
ride
the
system
to
really
understand
in
the
unlikely
event
that
something
happens,
what
they
are
supposed
to
do
through
at
that
process.
Can
you
just
describe
what
the
average
station
looks
like
as
far
as
providing
information
to
rider
should
something
happen,
not
just
evacuation
signage,
but
how
to
leave
the
station
and
also
how
to
get
to
that
bus
stop
nearby.
That
will
provide
the
replacement
service.
D
Yes,
no,
it's
a
great
question.
So
the
number
one
message
is:
if
there's
an
evacuation,
you
look
for
the
evacuation
signs,
the
exit
signs
which,
when
you
see
the
stations,
are
clearly
marked
but
they're,
the
the
multiple
sources
of
information
that
go
to
customers
as
the
following
number.
One
station
amount
announcements
which
get
controlled
from
the
control
center,
which
has
full
visibility
and
full
SCADA
of
every
station.
The
scenario
that
Gerry
hubely
was
talking
about
on
the
weekend
we
had
we
simulated
a
train
that
had
three
injuries
had
to
do.
D
An
evacuation
had
to
get
someone
who's
in
a
wheelchair
out
and
evacuated
and
evacuate
all
customers.
So
there's
the
audibles
there's
the
alarms,
there's
also
what
is
the
most
important
thing
and
that's
a
staff
at
the
platforms
telling
people
what
to
do,
especially
if
they're,
if
you
know,
there's,
there's
smoke
or
there's
any
incidents
like
that,
but
what's
also
equally
important
on
top
of
all.
That
is
the
critical
infrastructure.
D
So,
on
the
weekend
we
tested
the
again
we
tested
the
exhaust
fans
which
we
simulated
smoke
and
what
you
want
to
do
is
draw
that
smoke
away
from
your
platforms.
You
always
pull
it
away,
so
we
have
that
top
of
all
of
that.
We
also
have
some
of
the
best
SCADA
control
systems
in
the
industry
for
our
fire
department.
D
One
of
the
counselors
was
asking
me:
why
are
all
the
fire
trucks
moving
up
to
the
stations
getting
out
with
a
set
of
keys?
Those
are
the
fire
platoons
going
to
every
single
station
and
there's
a
you'll
see
an
electronic
board
at
the
top,
that's
their
SCADA
on
top,
so
they
can
do
their
command
posts
there,
rather
than
having
to
go
down
to
the
station
and
so
forth.
We're
integrated
with
all
the
emergency
protective
services,
folks
and
I,
want
to
thank
Tony,
Demonte
Pierre
and
all
the
chiefs
they've
been
phenomenal.
D
G
My
understanding
that
there'd
be
two
direct
mailed
pieces
of
literature
going
to
every
home
in
the
city.
One
is
generic
city
wide
and
the
other
would
be
neighborhood
specific
to
a
homeowner
to
talk
about
I,
guess,
Buster.
It
changes
and
their
local
LRT
station
I
haven't
received
anything
yet
so
when
are
those
expect
it
to
be
mailed?
It.
D
G
D
G
The
fact
that
we're
behind
were
finally
rolling
out
this
weekend,
but,
as
the
delegate
indicated
I,
see
great
value
and
having
an
opportunity
to
really
target
the
system
to
the
non
daily
writer
to
get
people
who
don't
use
public
transit
at
all
or
the
occasional
writer
and
within
the
first
month,
have
an
opportunity
a
free
day
where
you
know
we
really
market
the
system
to
those
people.
The
ultimate
goal
is
to
attract
more
riders
to
LRT
than
or
using
the
buses.
G
D
Councillor
and
further
members
of
committee
I
had
a
very
good
discussion
with
councillor
brockington
on
I
liked
where
he
went.
He
moved
us
away
from
a
free
day
on
the
weekend
and
and
it's
not
because
we
don't
want
to
do
it.
It's
there's
so
many
challenges
on
the
weekend
and
we're
concerned
with
inundating
the
system
and
so
forth.
On
top
of
all
the
changes
so
where
councillor
Brockington
went
to
was,
is
there
a
possibility
of
doing
a
free
sunday
sometime
in
the
fall
I
shared
that
which
very
hubely
in
the
mayor
they're
both
very
supportive?
D
We
think
it's
a
very
good
idea.
It's
on
the
to-do
list.
I
don't
have
a
date
for
you.
We're
gonna,
come
back
to
Transit
Commission
and
talk
talk
through
that.
But
I
do
want
to
thank
the
councillor.
It
was
a
good
idea
and
I
know
councillor
a
chair.
You
bleep
and
the
mayor
were
very
supportive
and
I'm
sure
we'd
get
support
around
the
table
for
that.
Okay.
I
Thank
you,
I
was
at
street
parties
all
weekend.
People
are
excited
there,
they're
getting
ready
to
ride
the
train.
That's
going
to
be
it's
gonna,
be
an
exciting,
exciting
opening
I
do
have
to
ask.
So
what
is
the
update
on
the
noise
issue
that
we're
experiencing
through
that
portion
to
the
east
of
Parkdale
Avenue
I?
Don't
think
that
the
rail
grinding
has
been
done
yet?
When
can
we
expect
that
and
and
what
are
the
next
steps
to
be
taken
on
that
issue?.
J
I
Really
sorry,
it's
it's
difficult
to
hear
back
here.
I'm
just
wondering
I
think
I
had
spoken
to
some
of
the
mayor's
staff
and
the
the
previous
fedko
meeting.
We
have
a
hard
time
hearing
at
this
back
table
and
I'm
wondering
whether
the
meetings
can
be
held
in
Council
Chambers
moving
forward.
But
if,
if
I
can
just
ask
you
to
start
over
because
it
is
difficult
to
hear
sure.
J
So
the
the
noise
mitigation
in
that
particular
area
is
really
a
two-step
process.
The
first
step
in
the
process
is
the
rail
grinding.
The
rail
grinding
we
spoke
to
RTG
last
night
and
they're
going
to
start
rail
grinding
this
week
is
their
plan,
so
so
look
for
that
activity.
There'll
be
some.
You
know
some
equipment
on
the
line
overnight
it
you
know
we
haven't.
J
We
have
an
experienced
on
in
that
particular
area
that
machine
on
that
location,
but
we
have
used
that
machine
on
the
trillium
line
in
the
past,
and
so
we've
got
some
comfort
that
it
won't
be
too
disruptive
running
that
that
piece
of
equipment,
so
that's
kind
of
the
first
mitigation,
we're
gonna
start
in
the
park
tail
area
near
that
one
that
that
one
location
that's
been
problematic,
but
actually
we're
going
to
do
the
entire
line.
So
there
will
be
some
benefit
with
that
rail
grinding
across
the
entire
system.
J
The
second
thing
is,
really:
you
know
the
installation
of
rail
dampers
in
that
particular
section
of
the
rock
cut
it.
It
has
a
unique
configuration
due
to
the
vertical
clearance
limitations,
we're
gonna,
install
rail
dampers
on
on
the
rail
in
that
area.
So
we've
gotten
the
go-ahead
to
do
that
and
we're
doing
some
final
analysis
on
the
type
of
rail,
dampers
and
kind
of
the
the
number
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
maximize
the
noise
reduction
in
that
area.
J
I
J
So,
mr.
mayor,
we
have
that
same
configuration
between
Tunney's
and
Dominion,
so
the
same
issue
with
our
rock
cut,
limited
vertical
clearance,
and
so
you
know,
based
on
our
experience
with
the
dampers
between
Bayview
and
Tunney's,
we're
going
to
install
those
same
dampers
between
tönnies
and
Dominion
to
make
sure
that
the
noise
in
that
area
is
reduced.
J
We've
looked
across
the
rest
of
the
system
that
configuration
is
unique
to
that
area.
It
doesn't
exist
elsewhere,
elsewhere,
its
ballast
with
ties,
and
so
we
haven't
seen
noise
issues
to
the
same
extent
as
we've
seen
in
the
rock
cut
area
in
other
locations.
So
once
we
have
the
kind
of
the
feedback
and
the
results
of
the
dampers
in
the
in
this
first
section
of
stage,
one
will
then
issue
a
variation
of
the
contractor
to
install
those
same
dampers
for
the
Tunney's
Dominion
section
of
track
in
stage
two.
M
D
I
Yeah,
okay,
and
for
the
for
the
stations
where
there
are
no
washrooms,
is
there
gonna,
be
any
kind
of
signage
to
say
where
you
know,
if
somebody's
on
the
train
and
has
to
go,
is
there
gonna
be
any
indication
for
for
folks
that
you
know
they
can
possibly
use
a
wash
them
at
the
next
station?
How
are
we
going
to
accommodate
for
not
having
them
at
every
station
just
in
terms
of
messaging
for
folks,
it's.
D
It's
a
mix
of
things
so
pushing
out
the
information
about
washrooms
I
know
CTV
had
that
on
their
news
last
night,
but
the
other
thing
that
we're
doing
is
at
critical
locations
where
we
know
there's
Washington's
nearby,
we're
seeing
if
we
can
connect
up
with
mall
owners
and
so
forth.
I
know
councillor
Brockton's
asked
the
same
thing.
Could
you
get
some
type
of
signage
that
says
you
know,
there's
a
washroom
over
there
and
so
forth.
So
right.
I

D
N
And
then
my
final
question
relates
to
spaces
in
the
station.
So
can
you
remind
us
there,
obviously
there's
always
business
all
these
and
the
experience
the
little
cafes
and
so
on?
That
eventually
could
happen
is
in
various
areas.
What
what
is
the
remind
us
of
the
intent
and
remind
us
of
if
there
is
a
process
for
applications
for
future
businesses
and
in
our
stations,
so.
D
We
do
have
commercial
space
in
a
number
of
stations.
We
do
have
a
preferred
person
that
bid
on
it.
We
are
in
the
final
stages,
mr.
Willis
and
his
real
estate
team
are
finalizing
that
we
have
some
exciting
news
that
will
be
coming
soon,
as
we
sign
finalize
the
documentation
with
with
that
company
it'll
provide
some
excellent
amenities
for
our
customers.
The
other
spaces
don't
forget
is
we
did
some
amazing
work
with
the
buskers.
We
have
bustering
spaces
designated
artistic
space
designated.
N
B
I
Thanks
very
much
mr.
mayor,
we
held
ready
for
rail
session
last
night,
which
was
very
well
attended
and
had
some
very
good
feedback
from
folks.
People
are
excited
about
the
rail
line
coming
in
councilors,
brockington,
Cloutier,
deans
and
me
and
we're
there
as
well.
My
question
is
around
that
you
know
several
residents
have
raised
their
bus
lines,
changing
as
a
result
of
the
rail
coming
on
line
and
some
of
them
their
services
is
being
reduced.
So
so
what
are
we
doing
for
those
residents?
I?
I
D
Now
it's
a
it's
a
great
question:
we
yourself
counselor
egg,
lay
I,
don't
know
where
he
is.
He
had
a
similar
discussion
with
me
and
it
wasn't
about
reduced.
It
was
about
scope
and
scale
of
change
and
you've.
Seen
a
few
tweets
about.
There
is
a
very
small
percentage
of
our
customer
base
that
will
have
a
double
transfer
and
so
forth.
So
what
I'm
telling
councillors
is
the
following?
D
Let's
get
through
the
launch,
let's
get
through
the
bus
route
changes,
let's
in
implement
your
5.1
million
dollar
investment,
which
affects
just
about
everybody
that
had
challenging
routes
and
then
council
has
the
new
budget.
That's
coming.
I
know:
there's
further
investments
coming
there,
that's
why
we've
got
to
keep
the
fares
going
and
all
those
things
so
that
we
can
fund
all
that
stuff
in
the
capital
and
the
operating
and
then
we're
gonna
work
with
councillors.
I.
D
Nothing
is
perfect
in
life,
so
we're
gonna
have
some
routes
that
may
need
some
tweaking
councillor
and
we're
happy
to
work
with
any
councillor.
But
all
we're
asking
for
is
some
some
support
and
patience
to
get
through
this
largest
change
in
the
history
of
your
transit
system
ever
get
through
that
and
then
I
believe
there
will
be
a
few
pockets
that
we're
gonna
have
to
go
a
little
bit
the
extra
mile
and
sort
it
out
and
get
innovative
in
that
regard.
Okay,
very.
F
D
I
D
So
we
I
can
tell
you
that
our
TG
believes
very
strongly.
Let
the
lightning
storm
did
have
an
impact
we
are
zeroing
in
on
root
cause.
They
have
some
plumbing
analysis.
We
need
to
give
them
time
to
go
through
the
root
cause
on
what
exactly
occurred,
and
it's
like
I
said
last
week
in
terms
of
everything
worked
the
way
it
was
supposed
to
and
there's
the
root
cause
piece.
I
Think
you
very
much
mr.
Mira
and
echoed
the
congratulations
to
your
team.
Mr.
Marconi,
one
question
that
remains
outstanding
is
Orleans
residents
who
currently
can
take
one
bus
to
get
to
work
and
got
no
will
obviously
now
face
some
challenges
or
a
change
in
in
their
ride.
I'm
wondering
if
you
have
clarity
or
when
we
expect
clarity
on
the
integration
with
sto
and
the
transfer
over
to
portage
and
show
year
so.
D
We
have
a
meeting
I
believe
it's
this
week
with
sto.
They,
as
you
can
appreciate,
with
our
changes
in
our
dates
or
delays
they
had
to
adjust.
Accordingly,
they've
asked
for
a
lot
of
notice
because
it
impacts
them
very
significantly
and
for
those
councillors
that
don't
know
the
sto
buses,
many
of
them
are
going
to
terminate
at
Lyon
station,
so
you're,
getting
your
downtown
core
back.
You're
gonna
have
fewer
buses,
increase
reliability
of
all
your
routes
and
so
forth.
D
So
it's
a
huge
change
and
that
took
over
a
year
of
negotiations
with
the
previous
chair
and
the
mayor
and
sto.
We
don't
have
a
formal
date
as
to
when
they're
going
to
do
their
change
it.
The
mission
is
this
week:
I
need
to
draw
that
out
of
them
and
then
I
will
share
that
with
you,
and
but
they
are
they're
caught
being
very
cautious.
It
is
a
very
significant
change
for
them,
also,
and
so
I'll
know
later
this
week.
D
O
D
Counselor
and
if
I
may
I
want
my
staff
briefed
me
on
the
session
yesterday
and
they
have
so
appreciated
all
the
positive
stuff
that
you
did
there
in
terms
of
the
tweeting
out
and
so
forth.
So
the
seniors
piece
that
was
part
of
the
debrief
from
every
session
that
we
hold
I,
heard
all
the
comments.
First
and
I've
heard
it
myself
so
seniors.
There
presto
card
is
programmed
they
can
get
through
no
problem,
however,
remember
you
have
the
kiosk
there
with
the
you
press
the
button.
You
have
a
live
agent.
D
If
there's
any
issue,
they
press
that
the
agent
can
override
the
gate.
If
there's
any
issue
or
they
didn't
get
their
card
programmed
that
we
let
them
in
free
and
so
there's
that
but
I
what
I
asked
mister
Scrimgeour
in
the
marketing
and
communications
team
is
to
from
all
your
sessions
and
your
feedback.
We
adjust
our
comms
plan
accordingly,
so
on
the
seniors
piece,
we're
going
to
push
out
more
information
happy
to
get
that
to
you
too,
if
you
want
to
get
it
out
to
your
residents.
Also,
okay,.
O
And
one
other
thing:
there
was
some
concern
that
when
they
get
to
Pema,
see
how
they,
how
the
seniors,
who
go
up
to
good
companions
are
going
to
get
there,
because
it's
quite
a
hike
from
Tennessee
up
to
you
know
where
they
are
on.
What
is
it
Albert,
but
no,
but
how
they
get
to
the
good
companions,
because
the
bus
used
to
drop
them
off
right
at
the
front?
And
that's
not
gonna
happen.
I
know.
D
I,
don't
have
all
the
details,
but
I
know
we
had
a
very
good
session
with
councilor
McKenney
at
the
good
companions.
I
think
it
was
a
week
ago
and
I
think
we
were
addressing
all
those
questions
there.
I
don't
have
the
answers
for
you,
but
we
can
certainly
follow
up
or
perhaps
counselor
McKenney
knows
off
the
top,
but
we
we
take
care
of
those
folks
because
they're
there
there's
there's
a
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
all
inclusive
there.
So
it's
on
our
radar
screen
good.
I
Thank
very
much
mr.
mayor
mr.
McCarney.
Just
just
for
clarification.
You
and
I
have
had
some
discussions
around
people
traveling
to
the
gatineau
side
in
particular
to
later
a
sand,
promenade
and
some
confusion
about
how
that's
going
to
work
and
whether
there
is
going
to
be
a
connection
that
will
get
people
directly
to
both
of
those
locations
for
work
purposes.
I'm
wondering
if
you
could
comment
on
and
clarify
what
the
service
is
going
to
be
in
that
regard.
D
Again,
a
great
feedback
we
had
from
your
self
counselor
and
mr.
Scrimgeour
is
targeting
the
information,
because
I
think
people
are
over
complicating
their
route.
I
know,
there's
that
there's
there's
some
good
choices
for
customers
there.
We're
also
going
to
equip
our
people
with
red
vests
at
unease
could
be
a
major
transfer
point
for
people
to
get
there
and
Pat
I
need
a
briefing
from
him
because
I
know
yet
is
meeting
with
you.
How
is
he
going
to
push
that
information
out?
So
it's
on
the
list?
I!
B
J
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
so
a
quick
update
on
stage
2
stage
2
will
add
just
as
a
reminder:
44
kilometers
of
rail
24
stations,
45
vehicles
and
two
additional
maintenance
and
storage
facilities.
The
total
economic
output
from
the
project
is
approximately
5.6
billion
in
over
27,000
person,
years
of
employment
and
the
states
to
complete
it.
The
city's
o
train
network
will
bring
77
percent
of
Ottawa
residents
within
5
kilometers
of
fast
efficient,
clean
and
reliable
light
rail
service.
J
So
I'll
start
with
the
Trillium
Line
extension
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
work
that's
happening
there.
This
is
the
the
overview
sket
project
schedule
showing
when
construction
is
going
to
start
in
different
parts
of
the
city.
So
if
you
see
the
purple
solid
line
on
the
Left,
work
has
already
started
in
that
in
that
portion
of
the
alignment.
I'll
show
you
some
photos
of
the
work.
That's
ongoing
there.
J
The
dotted
blue
line
on
the
right,
that's
work
that
will
start
following
the
shutdown
in
May,
20,
24
de
nation
effort
in
that
area,
including
the
MTO
replacing
the
bridge
over
the
Trillium
Line
doing
a
grade
separation
of
the
the
crossing
with
Via
Rail.
We
essentially
kind
of
refer
being
the
current
real
River
bridge
and
extending
all
of
the
station
platforms,
adding
new
two
new
stations
to
that
area.
Terms
of
the
work
that's
basically
been
in
progress
to
date.
J
It's
been
a
lot
of
geotechnical
investigation,
removal
of
trees,
removal
of
topsoil
and
getting
ready
to
do
the
more
advanced
designs
on
the
alignment.
So
we
go
to
a
photo.
So
this
is
a
quick
just
a
you
know,
a
shot
of
some
of
the
tree
removals
the
topsoil
removal.
This
is
actually
the
location
where
the
main
track
will
diverge
and
provide
a
connection
to
the
south
and
a
connection
to
the
airport
link
from
here.
J
J
J
A
little
bit
more
in
the
south.
I'll
show
you
a
photo
here.
This
is
just
a
little
bit
on
the
airport
link.
This
is
a
case
case
on
casing
our
case
on
sleeve
that's
being
installed.
This
is
a
section
of
essentially
there's
an
elevation
change.
We
go
from
at-grade
over
cut
a
number
of
roads
in
the
airport
area
to
get
to
the
the
upper
level
of
the
airport
where
we
provide
the
connection
to
the
to
the
airport
from
from
the
Trillium
lines.
So
some
early
work
there.
J
At
that
facility,
they'll
be
taken
apart,
brought
to
Canada
by
boat
and
then
by
by
truck
reassembled
at
the
new
Walkley
facility
and
then
the
undergo
final
testing
at
walk
the
yard
and
on
the
line
to
demonstrate
you
know
integration
of
the
system,
but
also
to
get
the
final
Transport
Canada
approvals.
This
is
still
a
federally
regulated
railroad
and
we
follow
all
the
Transport
Canada
regulations.
So
that's
that's.
What's
the
status
of
the
Trillium
line
onto
the
the
okay,
the
stage
to
the
Confederation
line,
east
and
west?
So
we'll
start
with
the
east?
J
Here's
the
essentially
the
overview
of
the
construction
works
and
the
timing
of
the
works.
The
crux
of
the
works
in
the
East
is
really
the
Montreal
Road
exchange.
The
the
soils
in
that
area
are
are
difficult
to
work
with,
and
so
the
contractors
wanted
to
get
into
that
that
first
they've
set
up
a
staging
area
close
to
Montreal
Road,
which
you
can
actually
see
as
you
drive
along
the
174
you'll,
see
a
lot
of
work
in
this
area
to
begin
with,
and
then
next
year,
you'll
start
to
see
the
work
further
to
the
east.
J
All
the
way
out
to
trim
so
just
some
photos
here,
so
this
is
some
of
the
staging
area
that
they're
building
up
not
a
lot
of
activity
in
terms
of
comparables
to
what
you're
seeing
on
you
know
actual
in
the
track.
But
you
know
they're
there
ready
to
go
just
quickly
about
the
west.
So
obviously,
there's
already
been
a
lot
of
work.
You've
seen
a
lot
of
work
along
the
sir
Johnny
McDonald
Parkway
there's
been
some
preliminary
removals,
there's
more
tree
removals
happening.
J
You
know
next
month
and
into
November,
so
just
to
kind
of
a
quick
look
at
the
construction
schedule.
So
this
is
really
broken
up
into
three
areas.
The
purple
dotted
line
really
is
is
where
they're
doing
the
trench,
the
trench
construction
to
build
a
cut
and
cover
tunnel,
so
the
two
half
kilometre
tunnel
that
will
run
essentially
from
Dominion
and
pop
out
right,
close
to
new
or
chert
and
Lincoln
fields
to
the
further
west.
J
So
so
you
see
how
the
project
is
split
up
into
those
three
areas.
The
first
thing
that
they
really
focused
on
was
doing
the
geotechnical
investigation
in
the
West
in
order
to
move
the
search
on
a
MacDonald
Parkway
over
to
make
space
for
the
the
cut
and
cover
tunnel.
So
we
started
moving
the
road
we've
started,
moving
some
of
the
multi-use
pathways
everything's
essentially
shifting
over.
So
we
can
make
space
for
that
trench.
J
So,
looking
ahead
for
the
rest
of
the
year,
you
know
you're
going
to
see
a
few
more
tree
removals
in
into
November
through
by
early
in
your
park
in
a
few
other
areas
along
the
sgem
to
kind
of
get
stuff
out
of
the
way
you're
gonna
see
additional
geotechnical
and
very
quickly
by
the
end
of
the
year,
you'll
see
the
sir
Johnny
McDonald
Park
was
shifting
over.
So
we
can
start
work
on
the
cut
and
cover
tunnel,
which
is
essentially
the
crux
of
the
work
in
the
West.
B
B
H
P
Thank
you,
first
of
all,
I'll
just
say
I'm
very
excited
about
stage
one
but
I'm
even
more
excited
about
stage
two
for
the
east
in
particular.
That's
not
my
question.
I
have
two
questions.
So
the
Sadler
vehicles
I
had
an
opportunity
to
have
a
resident
of
mine
who
has
accessibility,
issues
come
out
and
and
see
what
the
stage
one
vehicles
look
like.
He
was
very
appreciative
of
a
lot
of
the
accessibility
features
and
he
had
some
feedback
in
respect
to
maybe
some
improvements
going
forward.
Are
there?
J
J
You
know
these
vehicles
will
be
similar
in
design
and
nature
to
what
we
have
today
on
the
on
the
trail
in
line
similar
to
the
Austin
vehicles,
the
diesels
that
we
have
today,
you
know
we've
tried
to
take
into
consideration
some
of
those.
You
know
the
early
kind
of
feedback
we
received
about
the
number
of
doors
being
able
to
get
on
and
off
the
vehicles.
So
currently,
today,
with
the
doors,
if
you
have
a
door
cut
out,
you
have
to
take
that
vehicle
out
of
service.
It's
difficult
to
get
the
passenger
off.
J
P
I'll
make
sure
that
he's
connecting
and
I
have
another
question
in
respect
to
revenue
generation.
Utilizing
the
stations,
particularly
in
the
East
End.
The
station's
themselves
will
be
in
the
middle
of
the
highway,
which,
with
some
limitations
but
also
might
add
some
opportunities
and
I'm
just
curious
in
respect
to
what
opportunities
we're
looking
for
in
terms
of
either
adding
any
retail
any
using
the
stations
for
things
like,
for
instance,
leasing
out
to
communications
utilities.
Anything
that
we
can
do
to
help
generate
some
revenue
into
the
city's
coffers.
J
D
Yeah,
unfortunately,
don't
have
this
space
for
retail,
but
also
just
to
manage
expectations
on
retail
they're,
not
large-scale
operations,
because
you
have
a
very
busy
system.
People
aren't
lingering
like
a
commuter
rail
system
and
so
forth,
they're
in
and
out,
and
a
lot
of
the
studies
that
we
looked
at
and
actually
visited
a
lot
of
the
sites,
Subway's
high-volume,
subways
and
stuff.
The
retail
hasn't
done.
Well,
you
can
just
you
can
actually
look
it
up
online
there's
been
a
lot
of
bad
retail
spaces
where
people
have
tried
to
draw
too
much
money
out
of
it.
D
Our
proposal
we
went
out
twice
for
Stage
one.
We
got
very,
very
innovative
in
terms
of
we
didn't
want
to
be
in
the
retail
space
management
business,
because
it's
not
our
expertise.
So
we've
got
a
good
revenue
split
that
that's
coming
our
way,
but
you
have
to
be
very
specific
on
what
types
of
retails
and
it's
very
limited,
because
people
are
going,
they
just
want
to
go
and
get
their
train
and
the
service
is
so
frequent.
D
There's
no
lingering
time
it's
not
like
a
commuter
rail
system
or
up
Express,
where
you're
going
to
the
airport
and
so
forth,
so
there's
no
space,
but
there
is
a
review
of
all
the
advertising
space
that
we
have
the
mayor's
asked
for
that.
First,
two
years:
we
don't
we
don't
do
advertising
when
coming
back
with
a
full
report
and
I
think
that's
an
opportunity
for
some
revenue
generation
there
well.
P
And
and
if
I
can
ask
that
you
not
just
consider
the
you
know,
advertising
but
potentially,
like
I,
said
communications
opportunities.
Many
of
us
throughout
our
communities
are
already
being
approached
by
you
know
various
communications
groups
asking
for
towers
to
be
put
up.
Maybe
this
is
an
opportunity
to
utilize
the
space
that
we're
already
building,
that
is
access
accessible
to
communities,
there's
probably
tons
of
opportunities,
best
practices
across
the
world
of
municipalities
doing
this
kind
of
things.
So
I
just
ask
that
you
continue
to
look
at
that
and
I'll
work
with
you
to
do
it.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
and
thank
you
for
this
presentation.
Of
course,
bei
Ward
is
incredibly
excited
about
stage
two
they're
treating
the
Confederation
line
is
kind
of
a
warm
act,
warm-up
act
for
Stage
two,
because
it's
kind
of
a
tease
for
them,
since
they
will
still
continue
to
go
on
buses
and
then
transfer
over
to
to
Confederation
line.
A
So
my
questions
and
concerns
are
about
accessibility
to
stations
as
we're
planning
these
routes,
we
still
have
work
to
do
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
we
work
with
our
public
works
and
also
the
NCC
on
making
good
routes
walking
routes
to
the
stations.
This
is
something
something
that's
still
in
progress,
as
we
figure
out
access
points
to
the
stations
and
I
want
to
say,
I
appreciate
that
we're
going
to
be
meeting
with
the
community
that
your
team
is
coming
out
to
meet
with
with
Bay
work
community.
A
This
is
very,
very
important
because
we
still
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
on
that.
On
that
side,
I've
always
said
that
we've
wasted
billions
of
dollars.
If
people
can't
walk
to
the
station,
we
have
to
have
good
routes.
We
have
to
ensure
that
snow
clearing
and
other
things
are
prioritized
so
that
people
can
get
there.
It's
not
just
about
the
station
it's
about
getting
there.
So
I
just
want
your
comments
on
plans
on
that.
Thank
you.
J
So
absolutely
we
met
with
a
number
of
counselors
to
date
and
I
think
that's
been
kind
of.
The
primary
focus
is
connectivity
to
the
station's,
walking
cycling
drop-offs
but
I'm
wanting
to
understand
the
bus
connections.
So
there's
a
team
working
on
that.
You
know
lockstep
with
OC
Transpo
and
with
transportation
planning
to
make
sure
that
we
get
all
of
your
feedback
and
that
we
make
all
of
the
connections
to
the
stations
you
know
as
good
as
they
can
be.
G
Thanks
to
you,
worship,
just
one
question
and
that's
regarding
Walkley
station
within
a
radius
of
about
300
meters,
there's
four
things
that
are
going
to
be
happening
over
the
next
three
or
four
years.
The
Bank
Street
redesign
will
have
a
new
crosswalk
that
connects
the
Ridgemont
community
to
the
west
side
of
Bank,
the
ryokan
property,
which
has
a
Swiss
Chalet
and
a
new
Starbucks
will
have
a
multi-use
pathway
built
through
it
to
go
west.
G
The
private
property
on
that
side
is
gonna,
have
two
new
condo
towers,
built
site
plans
been
approved,
and
then
you
get
to
our
property
in
the
rail
line,
which
is
about
200
meters,
south
of
Walkley
Road,
we're
gonna
build
a
multi-use
pathway.
Let's
assume
the
buildings
are
delayed.
The
ryokan
property
is
delayed.
G
Help
me
understand
how
we
will
continue
to
build
our
pathway
through
these
properties
to
connect
to
Bank
Street
I
want
to
know
what
our
plan
is
and
again,
if
you
don't
have
the
answer
now,
that's
something
I
just
want
you
to
take
note
of,
but
both
community
associations
on
either
side
want
to
know
if
the
private
development
is
delayed
for
whatever
reason.
Well,
we
still
have
the
connectivity,
the
communities
are
expecting
to
get
from
the
residential
communities
to
walk
Lee
station.
So
if
I
could
leave
that
with
you,
I
would
like
an
answer.
I
So
much
for
presentation
really
looking
forward
to
riding
the
train
for
the
first
time
this
weekend,
a
lot
of
hard
work
went
into
this
I'd
like
to
provide
direction
to
staff
on
on
stage
two,
given
that
a
fatal
collision
occurred
on
the
slip
plane
at
the
Jean,
d'arc
and
174
overpass,
and
that
the
redesigned
intersection
will
provide
enhanced
safety
for
pedestrians
and
those
accessing
transit
on
the
bridge.
Would
staff
please
assess
the
prior
today's
a.
B
R
So,
mr.
mayor
members
committee,
the
purpose
this
presentation
is
to
bring
four
committee
of
the
responses
to
the
inquiry
councillor
Dean's
placed
on
the
council
agenda
several
weeks
ago.
We
were
asked
to
make
sure
we
brought
this
well
in
advance
of
the
subsequent
council
meeting,
and
our
effort
today
is
to
answer
the
questions
that
were
posed.
Mr.
Shinya
is
going
to
assist
me
and
responding
to
some
of
these
questions,
as
well
as
mr.
Radke,
who
is
the
acting
director
of
the
corporate
real
estate
office.
I,
will
ask
your
indulgence.
My
voice
is
weak
today.
R
Is
the
2013
established
the
champions
baseball
club
as
the
the
preferred
proponent
to
enter
into
a
lease
the
council
approved
through
a
procurement
process
by
July
2018?
The
lease
was
in
a
default
default
position
based
on
arrears
for
lease
payments.
What,
as
is
normal
through
any
lease
arrangement?
The
city
have
staffs?
First
response
is
to
get
into
discussions
with
the
person
who's.
The
group.
R
The
preferred
approach
was
to
terminate
the
lease
and
switch
which
ended
the
lease
and
switched
to
a
short-term
arrangement,
which
is
a
facility
use
agreement
with
a
payment
plan
to
recoup
the
errors
in
that
were
under
the
lease
that
took
till
maid
to
complete
as
an
agreement
in
principle
and
was
not
signed
until
July
and
as
soon
as
it
was
signed,
reported
to
council
through
an
IP
D.
The
results
of
those
discussions.
R
Excuse
me
for
a
second,
so
as
to
the
status
of
the
2013.
Lease
I
have
to
be
perfectly
clear.
The
lease
is
terminated.
It
no
longer
exists
as
a
result
of
the
defaults
of
the
terms
and
conditions
staff
do
have
authority
under
the
delegation
of
authority
by
law,
to
terminate
any
lease
on
city
facilities
when
the
tenant
is
in
a
default
position,
and
that
is
also
spelled
out
in
all
of
the
lease
the
leases
themselves.
R
The
seasonal
facility
rental
permit,
which
is
a
short-term
bridge
arrangement
until
we
understand
what
the
future
of
the
club
will
be
and
I
want
to
emphasize.
This
is
a
short-term
arrangement.
If
we
have
any
indication
at
any
point
that
there
is
a
longer
term
solution,
that
would
come
back
to
Council
for
approval,
but
this
is
only
a
short-term
bridge
arrangement,
with
the
intent
of
a
line
this
season
to
continue
and
to
recover
the
monies
owed
to
taxpayers
through
the
repayment
plan.
So
under
the
seasonal
facility
rental
permit,
the
champions
are
permitted.
R
This
season
to
use
the
facility
these
permits
are
under
mr.
Sheng
has
delegated
authority
under
the
delegation
of
authority
by
law
and
are
commonly
used
for
sports
facilities
across
the
city.
This
is
not
a
lease.
It
does
not
have
the
same
rights
as
a
lease
and
it's
a
permit
to
use
a
city
space
for
specified
periods
of
time
and
does
not
exclude
a
crew
exclusive
rights
or
privileges
that
a
lease
would
have
on
a
property
subject
to
user
fees
annually
approved
by
council
in
terms
of
the
permit
conditions.
R
It
was
between
our
CGT
and
the
champions
that
agreement
could
not
be
assigned
to
us
and
that
revenue
allowed
them
to
provide
a
revenue
stream
to
assist
in
repaying
us
and
recouping
the
money
for
taxpayers,
and
we
could
not
replace
that
agreement
with
our
own
direct
agreement
during
2019.
So
it
is
about
assisting
with
the
financial
viability
to
meet
the
repayment
plan
and
avoid
any
early
cancellation
penalties
for
that
agreement,
and
the
permits
have
only
been
issued
for
the
2019
season.
So
if
there
any
questions,
mr.
mayor
would
be
pleased
to
answer
them
and
mr.
P
Yes,
I
wanted
to
I
saw
this
was
coming
up.
I've
seen,
publications
in
various
media
outlets
and
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
city
is
being
strategic
and
proactive
in
its
approach
to
the
stadium
and
and
its
ownership
and
I
also
recognize
the
fact
that
you
know
we're
about
to
unlock
the
economic
opportunities
with
this
stadium
with
the
start
of
LRT.
So
I
think
it
was
I.
P
The
new
ownership
groups
capacity
to
cover
any
and
all
prior
arrears
which
may
have
accrued
at
the
end
of
the
2019
season
include
in
lease
negotiation.
The
city's
ability
to
redevelop
strategic
parts,
parts
of
the
stadium
lands
once
LRT
is
fully
implemented,
identify
the
appropriate
cost
recovery
and
revenue
sharing
model
that
minimizes
costs
to
taxpayers,
delegate
to
staff
the
authority
to
negotiate
a
lease
agreement
in
time.
H
Thank
you,
I
thank
you,
Samir
and
mr.
Wallace
I'm,
not
sure
if
my
question
just
to
you
or
to
legal
and
I
was
in
triggered
by
the
like.
We
just
heard
this
motion
from
our
college
and
I'm
hoping
everybody
will
agree
and
that
will
give
delegate
authority
to
staff
and
then,
when
staff
have
their
Gator
for
then
the
question
why
the
staff
did
what
they're
supposed
to
do
so
I'm
interested
in
legal?
What
what's
the
you
know?
H
N
Mr.
mayor,
so
I
have
questions
relating
to
the
existing
status,
so
we
have
a
default
situation
by
the
current
operators
for
whom
we
have
a
payment
plan,
and
then
we
have
a
new
agreement
relating
to
the
I'll
say
the
paper
use
conditions.
So
can
you
maybe
articulate
to
us
and
committee
just
the
clarity
of
how
both
fit
into
one
another,
because
I've
worked
in
the
past
in
in
facilities
and
I've
seen
individual
organizations
when
they
were
in
default?
R
Mr.
Merrill
up
given
initial
response
and
the
treasurer
may
have
more
to
add
to
this.
First
of
all,
this
is
a
short-term
arrangement.
I
want
to
emphasize
this.
This
is
a
short-term
to
give
the
team
a
chance
to
get
back
in
a
position
where
they
can
operate
again,
and
should
they
not
be
in
a
position,
we
will
have
a
different
report
or
a
different
strategy
going
forward.
R
This
will
come
to
an
end
and
we'll
come
back
to
Council
with
future
options
for
the
the
stadium
should
that
happen,
but
if
they
can
get
themselves
back
into
position,
if
they
can
find
another
opportunity
to
ensure
that
taxpayers
get
their
money
back,
that's
preferable
for
us
now,
first
and
foremost,
the
repayment
plan
is
a
is
separate
from
the
fees
they
must
pay
to
operate
this
year.
They
must
pay
the
fees
to
operate
as
they
get
and
believe
they
have
mr.
Chang,
it
was
not
incorrectly
so
the
repayment
plan.
L
Thank
you
so
total
agreement
with
what
GM
Welles's
has
said.
We
as
long
as
we
have
a
repayment
agreement,
we
don't
consider
them
to
be
in
arrears.
So
when
we
went
when
we
terminated
the
lease
and
we
were
able
to
enter
into
a
repayment
agreement
that
allowed
us
to
then
move
to
the
next
step
to
go
into
the
short-term
arrangement
with
them.
We
did
that
basically,
because
if
we
didn't
extend
the
agreement
with
them
to
allow
them
to
use
the
facility,
our
chances
of
recovering
any
of
those
arrears
were
basically
zero.
L
N
Could
you
confirm
they've
made
payments
to
the
arrears
in
terms
of
the
payment
plan
and
they've
also
made
payments
based
on
the
new
arrangement
for
the
paper
use
conditions,
so
there's
two
sets
of
payments
that
would
have
come
in?
Are
they
are
they
in
default
of
any
of
those?
Your
new,
this
new
approach,
I.
L
Know
I
can't
actually
confirm
that
counselor
I
don't
have
that
information.
I
know
the
last
time
I
checked
on
it.
I
know
the
July
payment
had
been
made
so
I,
don't
know
if
there's
a
payment
I
think
at
in
early
September,
I,
don't
know
if
that's
been
made
yet
so
I
can
get
that
information.
But
at
this
point
in
time
I
don't
have
it.
Mr.
N
Okay,
baseball
stadium:
all
games
are
far
from
happening
until
April
we're
going
into
the
fall
that
gives
us
close
to
ten
months
of
work
that
can
happen.
I
think
the
agreement
with
the
organization
we
want
to
see
baseball
use,
that's
certainly
in
line
with
the
motion
that's
presented
to
us,
but
I
would
I
would
ask
us
to
consider
a
different
approach.
N
Now
they're
renting
the
facility
per
use
they're,
not
renting
the
facility,
which
means
that
that
facility
falls
officially
to
a
40
to
50
day
use,
there's
still
well
over
300
days
of
use
of
that
facility.
And
yes,
the
community
use
component
of
counselor
do
dowsers
motion
is,
is
part
of
the
component,
but,
as
dan
would
know,
we've
had
approaches
from
other
organization.
Non-For-Profit
we've
had
other
baseball
organization
at
the
national
level.
N
Approached
us
and
I
wonder:
I
think
the
facility
needs
to
stay
and
at
its
core
as
a
sporting
venue
and
as
a
baseball
venue,
but
it
can
diversify
its
sport
use.
So
I
don't
understand
why,
knowing
where
we've
gone
and
hoping
that
the
champions
get
back
on
track,
they're
still
only
going
to
use
50
days
of
the
year.
That
facility
needs
to
start
it
by
the
fact
that
it's
connected
to
LRT
by
the
fact
it's
centrally
located.
We
need
to
define
what
that
vision
will
be
for
that
space.
I
know
that
mr.
N
Willis
had
talked
about
the
use
of
the
parking
lot
for
for
for
new
housing
opportunities,
I'd
love
to
see
a
repurposing
of
not
losing
the
focus
of
baseball
but
expanding
the
the
sporting
uses
of
that
facility,
because
right
now
we're
we're
stuck
in
a
pro
baseball,
10,000
seat,
Stadium,
and
it
really
limits
its
opportunity.
But
it's
so
you're
you're
a
station
away
from
you,
ottawa,
you're
in
the
core
of
the
city,
there's
just
so
much
opportunity
in
one
hand,
I
get
the
motion.
We
don't
want
to
give
it
up.
N
We
want
to
give
baseball
a
chance
in
another
end:
they've
played
their
hands.
They
now
can
only
afford
when
they
use
and
that's
fine,
that's
fine!
Maybe
that's
the
future
and
we
shouldn't
undercut
their
efforts,
but
we
should
look
to
the
public's
interest
in
this,
and
this
is
the
300
other
days
that
exist
at
that
stadium.
N
So
I
would
supplement
or
do
a
friendly
and
to
also
do
a
visioning
exercise
and
come
back
by
the
end
of
the
year
to
see
what
what
could
we
do,
additionally
to
the
motion
in
terms
of
community
used
to
see
what
is
the
vision
for
that
site
with
a
clear
direction
of
keeping
the
baseball
as
a
primary
use
and
seeing
if
other
uses
or
other
sports
uses
can
be
complementary
to
two
to
the
existing
facility.
Councillor.
B
Flurry
I
think
that
that
really
is
what
you've
suggested
is
a
good
idea.
It
isn't
captured
in
the
final,
be
it
FURTHER
RESOLVED
to
identify
opportunities
for
increased
committee
use
and
so
on.
So
I
think
that
does
address
your
concern
because
I
agree
with
you
that
there's
you
know
it's
it's
not
a
multi-purpose
facility.
It's
a
you
know,
purpose
facility,
it's
a
baseball
diamond,
a
baseball
stadium,
but
there
are
other
activities
that
can
go
in
you
know
either
other
sports
activities
or
community
use.
You
know
they've
been
concerts
there
I'm
not
suggesting
that.
Q
B
I
think
miles
miles.
Wolff
the
the
owner
was
accounting
on
the
LRT
to
be
there
to
bring
a
lot
more
customers
from
the
East
End
and
the
West
End
and
go
over
the
max
keeping
bridge.
It
would
be
perfect,
so
I
think
you
know
I'm,
certainly
supportive
of
the
motion,
because
I
think
it
does
capture
what
you're
suggesting
as
well
plus.
At
the
same
time,
we
recognize
that
you
know
there
have
been
reports
that
he's
entertaining
offers,
because
I
think
he
wants
to
retire
and
move
back
to
the
states.
So.
N
I'm
comfortable
with
the
way
you're
describing
it,
but
I
would
ask
that
staff
prepare,
do
an
analysis
and
bring
back
to
this
committee
or
council.
A
report
about
the
visioning
is
some
visioning,
because
baseball
is
only
like.
The
next
season
is
in
April.
That
gives
us
all
fall
and
early
all
through
the
winter.
By
that
time,
hopefully,
hopefully
we'll
know
where
miles
is
and
and
hopefully
the
champions
are
back
in
2020,
but
that
again
leaves
it
leaves
us
with
back
to
the
motion.
N
B
Maybe
mr.
mank
oniy
the
nameplates
there,
mr.
Willis,
if
you
could
perhaps
wordsmith
something
to
in
captures
what
else
are
flurries
looking
at
and
councillor
dude
ass,
you,
okay!
With
that,
you
know,
we
don't
need
a
large.
You
know
bureaucratic
report
on
this
I
think
there
are
some
ideas
that
are
out
there
and
you
probably
had
some
pitch
to
you
over
the
the
years
and
certainly
councillor
King,
as
the
ward
councillor
should
be
consulted
as
the
motion
states
as
well.
Mr.
mayor
may.
R
I
recommend
I
think
the
motion
could
stand
as
it
is
and
we
could
take
a
direction
from
committee
to
bring
a
report
back
on
a
between
the
two
departments
on
the
opportunities
for
the
site,
as
the
council
recommends.
I
think
we
agree
with
what
is
being
asked,
so
I
think
there's
comfortable.
We
can
take
direction
of
a
committee,
and
this
should
the
motion
adopt.
Okay,.
I
R
Mr.
mayor
I
think
I
think
the
intent
and
I
have
to
read
the
councilors
mind
on
this,
but
I
think
the
intent
is
that
this
was
stage
one
because
understand
that,
under
during
the
construction
of
stage
one,
not
only
did
they
not
have
the
service
coming.
There
was
actually
reduced
bus
access
to
the
site
during
stage
one,
so
that
was
a
bit
of
a.
We
have
to
understand
that
facility
wasn't
most
fortunate
in
terms
of
its
accessibility
and
we
want
to
see
the
opportunity
during
after
stage
one
opens
where
accessibility
is
considerably
higher
perfect.
I
I
Mr.
mayor,
we
have,
over
the
last
few
years
tried
to
market
the
site
for
other
for
other
types
of
sports.
Certainly,
there's
been
some
update
from
ultimate.
At
one
point,
the
configuration
as
the
mayor
was
mentioning.
It
is
a
purpose-built
site
and
the
previous
lease
under
which
we
were
operating
had
some
very
stringent
requirements
in
terms
of
turf
quality
which
required
us,
amongst
other
things,
to
have
dark
days
the
day
before
and
the
day
after
games
and
those
kinds
of
things
this
year.
I
Under
the
the
permit
agreement,
we've
set
that
aside
and
we've
been
able
to
fill
those
days
with
community
use,
primarily
baseball,
though
there
is
University
baseball.
Adult
baseball
is
primarily
interested
in
this
going
forward.
If
there
were
a
main
tenant
for
the
site
that
plays
in
a
league
that
has
turf
standards,
then
of
course
we
would
have
to
revisit
that.
I
would
suggest
that
we'd
want
to
look
carefully.
I
F
Having
a
side
chat
with
councilor
blade,
just
thinking
that,
if
you
look
back
to
when
we
did
this
and
the
reason
why
I
think
it's
important
to
support
this
plan
going
forward,
is
you
don't
know?
What's
what
the
potential
is
and
in
hindsight,
of
course,
being
20/20
had
counsel
made
a
different
decision
back
in
2013
come
2017?
You
could
have
had
certain
individuals
playing
in
Ottawa
in
our
big
year
that
these
names
might
not
mean
everyone.
F
That
might
not
mean
something
different
in
this
room,
but
names
like
Kevin,
Vizio
and
and
Sean
Reid
Foley
and
Nate
Pearson
Vladimir,
Guerrero,
Lourdes,
curiel
I.
Let
miss
Diaz!
All
these
individuals
might
have
actually
been
playing
in
the
City
of
Ottawa.
Had
we
gone
in
a
certain
direction
and
taken
that
chance
back
in
2013,
it's
easy
to
make
a
safe
choice,
but
sometimes
it's
important
to
go
out
there
and
look
to
see
what
options
are
out
there
and
be
open
to
that
as
to
what
that
could
create,
because
well
there
might
be
some
investment.
F
The
impact
of
those
individuals
being
in
this
city
in
2017
would
have
been
very
difficult
to
fully
appreciate
the
impacts
financially
and
also
just
having
that
type
of
atmosphere
in
the
City
of
Ottawa.
With
what
those
gentlemen
now
become
on
the
roster
of
a
major
league,
baseball
team,
so
I
know
I
think
it's
important
to
support
this
going
forward.
Look
at
what
the
options
are.
B
I
I
B
I
M
A
Thank
you,
I.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation
on
this
I
think
we
all
want
to
have
this
as
revenue
neutral
as
possible
in
terms
of
as
not
a
drain
on
the
city,
but
I
will
just
ask:
if
will,
when
we're
looking
at
future
options,
that
we
take
a
look
at
female
sports,
because
I
think
Bianca
proved
that
people
watch
it
and
come
out
for
things
that
are
female,
so
it's
an
opportunity
to
promote
female
sports
and
teams,
so
I
hope
that
will
be
taken
into
consideration
in
terms
of
new
tenants.
Thank
you.
Thank.
K
R
Mr.
mayor
I,
don't
think
we
gonna
give
a
definitive
answer
right
now,
but
intuitively
when
stage
2
opens
when
this
site
becomes
considerably
more
accessible
from
the
east
and
the
west,
it's
inevitable
to
the
value
of
this
property
go
up
considerably.
So
you
know
we'll
have
a
lift
next
week
as
a
result
of
stage
one
being
open,
we'll
have
a
much
bigger
lift
when
stage
2
is
open
because
it'll
it'll
be
very
correlated
to
the
ridership
on
the
LRT
system,
so
I
think
it's
I
think
it's
inevitable.
B
S
Thank
You
mr.
Merrick,
so
on
December
5th
2018
Council
approved
a
term
of
Council
budget
process
as
part
of
the
2018
22
council
governance
review.
That
report
directed
the
city
treasurer
and
bring
forward
a
report.
The
de
deep
that
details
the
budget
timetable
and
provides
budget
directions
in
advance
of
each
yearly
budget.
In
this
presentation,
I
will
highlight
the
key
elements
that
went
into
the
recommendations
in
the
report
provide
an
overview,
the
budget
process
between
now
and
December.
S
And
the
estimated
budget
pressures
were
considered
in
the
development
of
the
recommended
tax
target.
More
is
now
known
on
the
changes
to
provincial
funding,
but
there
could
be
further
changes
that
will
be
included
in
the
tabling
of
the
budget
in
November.
The
key
impacts
are
the
public
health,
children's
services,
long
term
care
and
cancellation
of
the
planned
provincial
gas
tax
increase.
Labor
contract
settlements
are
included
in
the
budget
considerations.
S
Cpp
contribution
rate
for
employees
and
employers
is
gradually
increasing
from
four
point:
nine
five
percent
to
five
point:
nine
five
percent
and
increases
to
the
years
of
maximum
pensionable
earnings
will
be
phased
in
between
2019
and
2023.
There
are
also
changes
to
the
Canadian
labor
code
that
will
then
have
impacts
on
the
transit
budget.
Inflationary
increases
are
also
considered
this
year.
The
construction
price
index
remains
high
at
five
point:
eight
percent.
This
inflation
estimate
is
used
to
determine
the
increase
to
the
contribution
to
capital
base.
S
Oh
also,
the
long-range
financial
plans
for
transit
talks
and
rate
identified,
the
funding
requirements,
reserve
balances
and
debt
levels
required
to
maintain
assets
in
a
state
of
good
repair
over
a
10-year
period
and
in
case
of
transit
for
30
years.
The
recommended
three
percent
tax
target
considers
all
the
known
budget
pressures
estimated
for
2020.
Furthermore,
each
department
review
the
key
operating
and
capital
requirements
to
maintain
services,
opportunities
for
operational
efficiencies,
impacts
of
growth,
on
operations,
changes
in
regulation
and
any
other
operational
service
changes.
The
3%
is
the
overall
impact
on
the
property
tax.
S
It
includes
a
2
percent
increase
to
citywide,
3
percent
increase
to
police
services
and
transit
levy
of
3%.
Furthermore,
in
order
to
minimize
the
impact
of
the
provincial
governments
decision
to
cancel
the
doubling
of
the
gas
tax,
it
is
recommended
that
the
9.8
million
contribution
to
capital
approved
by
council
for
citywide
to
be
moved
to
transit
and
the
additional
57
million
of
one-time
federal
gas
tax
funding
to
be
allocated
towards
addressing
the
infrastructure
gap
for
roads,
bridges
and
active
infrastructure.
S
This
adds
another
3.4
percent
of
the
transit
tax
for
a
total
of
6.4
percent,
but
the
overall
property
tax
increase
remains
at
3
percent.

She
knows:
map
of
ACL,
the
6.3
million
budgets
pressure
for
Public
Health
is
due
to
the
fact.
The
cost-sharing
model
is
changing
to
a
70/30
split
compared
to
a
current
7525
cost
sharing
arrangements.
S
The
Children's
Services
impact
of
6.3
million
is
the
result
of
a
change
to
the
cost-sharing
split
for
the
childcare
expansion
plan
to
an
80/20
cost
sharing,
beginning
in
January
2020
from
a
currently
100%
funded
program
and
changing
the
cost-sharing
for
program
delivery.
Sorry,
the
province
was
also
planning
to
make
changes
to
the
allowable
administrative
funding
from
10
percent
to
5
percent
and
change
sharing
of
these
costs
to
50/50.
We
were
recently
informed
that
this
change
is
now
delayed
to
2021
2022.
S
The
impact
long-term
care
is
1.2
million
due
to
the
elimination
of
the
high
wage
transition
fund,
which
is
funding
to
make
maintain
the
equable
service
levels
with
addressing
high,
while
addressing
higher
than
average
wage
cost
and
the
elimination
of
grant
funding
for
capital
works.
It's
important
to
note
that
the
paramedic
services
are
no
longer
on
the
list
of
provincial
funding
changes.
They
will
continue
at
50
50
%
cost-sharing
and
provide
for
growth.
S
Based
on
preliminary
impact
information
staff
estimate
that
assessment
growth
will
be
approximately
1.5
percent,
depending
for
my

Thank
you
very
much
great.
B
M
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today.
I
applaud
the
city
for
embarking
on
the
process
to
create
its
first
women
and
gender
equity
strategy
for
implementation
in
2020.
In
the
steps
it
is
taking
to
build
a
more
equitable
and
inclusive
City.
The
budgeting
process
is
the
foundation
for
setting
priorities
as
a
city,
and
it
is
with
that
in
mind
that
I
believe
staff
and
council
should
consider
gender
equity
throughout
this
process.
M
In
December,
the
federal
government
passed
into
law,
the
Canadian
gender
budgeting
Act,
which
states
taxation,
the
allocation
of
public
resources
and
other
public
policy
decisions
may
produce
various
impacts
on
diverse
groups
with
the
potential
to
create
sustained
or
reduce
inequalities
within
society.
The
Act
requires
the
federal
government
to
consider
gender
and
diversity
in
tax
and
spending
decisions
and
to
publish
an
analysis
of
gender
impacts
of
budget
measures.
M
Unfortunately,
I
believe
that
budgeting
backwards
from
a
predetermined
property
tax
rate
has
the
potential
of
leading
to
a
budget
that
sustains
inequality
in
our
city
instead
of
first
considering
the
needs
of
all
residents
and
establishing
a
budget
from
there.
This
approach
places
an
overriding
priority
on
minimizing
the
tax
bill
of
property
owners.
I
worry.
The
result
of
this
approach
will
lead
to
under
investment
in
services
and
infrastructure
that
can
promote
equality
or
to
increase
user
fees
that
disproportionately
impact
lower-income
residents.
I
think
the
risk
of
this
approach
can
be
seen
by
looking
at
child
care.
M
I
recently
spoke
at
the
community
and
Protective
Services
Committee.
Regarding
the
city's
five-year
plan
for
child
care.
The
plan
notes
that
licensed
child
care
is
completely
unaffordable
for
the
majority
of
Ottawa
families,
and
there
is
only
space
for
one
in
three
Ottawa
children.
It
also
notes
their
retention
issues
in
the
childcare
sector
due
to
the
low
wages
of
the
primarily
female
workforce.
Well,
the
plan
establishes
broad
goals
for
addressing
these
issues.
M
The
lack
of
quality,
affordable
childcare
has
a
disproportional
impact
on
women,
as
they
are
most
often
the
ones
who
opt
out
of
the
workforce
or
scaled
back
their
careers
when
it
is
not
available.
I
worried
the
proposed
budget
approach
will
at
best
mean
the
city
simply
treads
water
on
the
childcare
crisis.
Instead
of
making
meaningful
improvements
to
the
system,
our
worst
I
worry,
the
fees
that
are
already
acknowledged
as
unaffordable
for
most
families
will
increase.
M
The
City
of
Vancouver
in
its
women's
equity
strategy,
identified
access
to
affordable
quality
child
care
as
an
urgent
issue
and
the
number
one
action
that
could
immediately
impa's
ative
Liam
impact
all
women's
lives,
their
economic
participation
and
economic
independence.
That
is
equally
true
here
in
Ottawa,
as
such.
I
hope
that
council
will
recognize
the
key
role
childcare
plays
in
the
lives
of
women
and
place
sufficient
priority
on
this
vital
community
infrastructure
in
the
budget
process.
Thank
you
right.
B
A
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
delegation.
I,
really
appreciate
you
bringing
up
the
issue
of
gender
equity
in
the
budget
process
as
it's
very
important
and,
as
you
pointed
out,
there
have
been
another
number
of
setbacks
that
related
to
the
provincial
funding.
I
just
want
to
ask
you
in
terms
of
that.
What
do
you
see
is
the
priority
in
terms
of
what
of
the
biggest
problem
in
terms
of
the
cutbacks
that
have
hit
us.
A
I
personally
see
childcare
as
as
a
big
problem,
because
this
is
an
ongoing
economic
issue
that
gets
you
know
that
does
our
economy
good
it
here
in
the
city,
but
I'd
like
your
feedback
and
by
the
way
we're
going
to
have
a
session
on
September
30th.
The
public
del
public
meeting
on
your
input
on
on
gender
equity,
so
I
hope
you'll
be
able
to
attend.
Thank
you.
Thank.
M
You
so
one
of
the
provincial
funding
changes
is
that
childcare
expansion.
Now
the
municipality
has
to
contribute
20%
of
the
funding
that
was
previously
100%
provincially
funded.
So
the
municipality
is
in
the
position
of
deciding
whether
to
move
forward
with
expansion
projects,
meaning
that
the
operating
dollars
would
be
spread
out
amongst
a
broader
number
of
spaces
which
increases
access,
but
then
could
potentially
increase
parent
fees
and
take
a
step
back
on
affordability.
So
it's
trying
to
way
access
and
affordability,
which
we
really
should
be
trying
to
make
progress
on
both
of
those
goals.
M
So
I
think
that
as
a
City
Council,
it's
it's
very
unfortunate
that
the
province
is
moving
in
this
direction,
but
there
needs
to
be
a
bit
more
pushback
from
the
city
towards
the
provincial
government
on
what
the
on-the-ground
impacts
will
be
for
a
childcare
in
Ottawa
and
that
these
cuts
are
unacceptable.

With
that
additional
funding
from
the
gas
tax
that
one-time
only
gas
tax
going
to
the
capital
infrastructure
would
that
meet
that
threshold,
because
we
are
in
deficit.
When
comes
to
capital
investment,
we
know
it
in
deficit
I'm,
just
wondering.
Where
would
that
take
us?
The
next
three
years
is
a
great
three
years,
but
12
will
take
us
please.
It's.
L
A
little
bit
more
over
the
three
years
than
you
would
get
under
the
plan
we
had
originally
proposed,
which
was
to
inject
an
additional
9.8
every
year,
so
we'd
be
putting
in
13,
so
you'd
get
that
little
bit
of
pick
up.
What
it
doesn't
do
is
it
doesn't
fix
your
base
and
that's
why
I'm
Miss
Jasmine
said:
if
you
adopt
this
plan,
it
helps
transit,
it
fixes
their
base
but
extends
what
you
need
to
do,
probably
for
another
three
years.
L
B
L
Is
you
are
you're
gonna
accelerate
a
little
bit
in
the
next
three
years,
but
then
you're
gonna
get
back
to
your
regular
plan.
So
you
will,
you
won't
be
losing
ground
if
that's
what
you're
thinking
in
this
process
you're
going
to
get
to
where
you
want
and
we've
just
bumped
it
up
a
little
bit
in
the
next
three
years.
But
then
you'll
get
back
on
your
plan
to
get
back
to
an
increase
of
your
base
of
fifty
million
dollars
and.
H
The
reason
I'm
asking
you
this
mr.
mayor
is
the
one
percent
we
committed
to
be
toward
infrastructure,
and
then
we
learned
from
the
treasurer
it
would
be
about
sixteen
million
the
one
percent,
but
that
one
percent,
if
I
remember
we
were
thinking
to
be
in
a
day's
budget,
not
just
for
the
or
at
least
for
this
term
of
cancer,
because
we
cannot
commit
an
external
counsel.
Your.
L
Plan
was
to
increase
your
base
by
50
million,
and
you
were
doing
it
over
five
years,
so
you
actually
were
going
into
the
next
term
of
council
by
just
by
one
year
but
you're
you're.
Not
what
we're
planning
on
doing
here
is
to
basically
so
your
dad
the
gas
tax
problem,
and
it
still
allows
the
continuation
of
that
investment
that
you
need
in
the
renewal
of
your
other
facility
city
assets.
C
L
C
L
The
six
point
four
is
really
three
mil
3%
for
your
operating,
which
includes
buses
and
LRT,
and
then
nine
point,
eight
million,
which
makes
up
the
other
three
point,
four
percent,
which
is
to
replace
the
provincial
gas
tax.
That's
not
doubling!
So
it's
that's
that
three
point:
four
percent
is
really
for
capital
for
future
capital,
which
includes
buses,
and
it
includes
LRT,
and
then
the
base
three
percent
is
to
deal
with
the
operating
which
covers
everything
as
well.
So
there's
been
some
discussion
that
this
is
all
about
transition.
This
has
nothing
to
do
with
transition.
L
C
L
This
is
all
about
making
certain
that
you
preserve
the
plan
that
you
have
in
place
right
now,
because
when
they
announce
the
doubling
of
the
gas
tax
many
years
ago,
we
incorporated
that
into
your
long-range
financial
plan,
your
affordability
model
for
transit.
So
we
don't
get
that
doubling
for
the
gas
tax,
which
they've
now
said
they're
not
going
to
do.
You
have
a
big
hole
in
the
plan.
So
this
what
we've
suggested
here
basically
substitutes
that
provincial
dollars
with
taxation
dollars?
That's
all
it
does.
It
doesn't
change
your
spending
plan.
I
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
just
a
quick
question,
so
I'm
just
looking
for
some
clarification,
you
you've
got
a
differing
view
and
your
recommendations:
3%
increase
for
police
2%
for
library,
2%
for
Public
Health.
We
know
that
Public
Health
has
certainly
got
its
funding
challenges.
We
know
libraries
in
the
middle
of
building
the
the
biggest
most
beautiful
library
we
possibly
can
and
they
have
their
challenges
as
well.
I
There's
a
statement
in
the
report:
the
police
who
have
use
a
separate
Le'veon
is
recommended
increased
by
3
percent
overall,
but
there
doesn't
seem
to
be
a
lot
of
meat
there
explaining
why
the
three
percent
choice
over
two
percent
choice
or,
alternatively,
raising
everybody
to
3
percent,
including
library
and
public
health,
I'm,
just
trying
to
figure
out
what
the
rationale
was.
Why
you're
recommending
a
different,
a
different
amount
for
police,
as
opposed
to
the
other
boards
and
services
that
the
city
offers.
L
So
police
is
self-contained
with
respect
to
capital;
they
don't
actually
use
the
citywide
capital
reserve
or
any
of
our
capital
funding.
They
they
run
on
their
own,
whereas
the
library,
for
example,
actually
uses
the
citywide
reserve
to
renovate
their
libraries.
They
they
were
their
capital
is
is,
quite
frankly,
is.
L
Last
year,
Ottawa
Public
Health
got
2
percent
last
year
and
the
rest
of
the
city,
except
for
transit
and
police
got
2%.
So
this
isn't
really
a
change.
It's
just
that
we
are
now
highlighting
the
fact
that
that
9.8
million
dollars,
which
we've
taken
from
the
citywide
levy
and
put
on
to
the
transit
levy,
that's
the
difference
that
it
makes
so
certainly
we
can
look
doing
a
different
allocation,
but
right
now
the
way
we've
built
it
you
get
to
3%.
Overall,
oh
no.
I
L
Everybody
who
is
uses
city
capital
is
on
the
citywide
levy
and
that's
the
piece
that
we're
moving
we're
moving,
that
contribution
to
capital
from
the
city
wide
to
the
transit
police,
don't
require
or
don't
use
the
city
wide
reserve
for
their
capital
S.
They
have
capital
built
into
theirs,
so
library,
for
example,
they
don't
use,
they
don't
have
a
what
they
need
for
capital
comes
out
of
the
city
wide,
so
we
manage
their
capital
for
them
same
for
Public
Health.
If
they
have
capital
requirements
that
comes
from
the
city
wide.
L
So
that's
the
distinction
that's
made.
Is
it's
just
breaking
apart
last
year
we
could
have
said
it's
a
2%
increase
for
everybody
and
on
city
wide
plus
of
1%
capital,
we're
just
breaking
it
apart
this
year
and
moving
it
on
to
the
transit
levy.
So
the
distinction
it's
the
same
as
last
year
councillor.
We
should
have
probably
shown
it
differently.
Last
year
you
never
got
3%.
Last
year
at
Ottawa,
Public
Health,
you
only
got
2%
and.
L
L
J
I
B
I
L
I
I
L
O
There,
it
is,
it's
cut
soda
a
little
bit,
first
of
all,
to
say,
I'm,
really
grateful
that
a
portion
of
the
57
million
dollar
gas
tax
money
has
made
its
way
into
budget
directions.
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
councilman
Kenny,
but
we
put
that
motion
forward
in
April
and
I
think
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense
to
direct
a
portion
of
that
to
our
roads,
infrastructure
and
transportation,
so
we're
glad
to
see
that
in
budget
directions
and
I
apologize.
O
Our
budget
this
year
was
set
at
3%,
which
was
one
percent
higher
than
we
had
in
previous
years,
and
we
sold
that
to
the
taxpayers
as
necessary.
Money
to
fill
the
infrastructure
funding
gap
and
I'm
just
wondering
now
that
extra
room
that
we've
got
is
that
money
now
going
to
fill
the
transit
deficit
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out
how
this
works,
what
it
means
ultimately.
L
Councilor
that
that
is
a
fairly
accurate
portrayal
of
it.
We
were,
it
was
really
2%
last
year
and
then
more
or
less
1%
to
fill
your
infrastructure
gap
on
the
citywide
side.
Now
it's
really
2
percent
and
1
percent
to
fill
the
infrastructure
gap
on
the
transit
side
to
replace
funds
that
we
are
not
going
to
get
from
the
province
and.
O
L
We're
giving
them
9.8
million
dollars,
but
if
you
look
overall
across
all
of
the
areas,
including
police,
who
have
an
increase
in
their
contribution
to
capital
built
in
theirs
and
what
we
have
on
the
citywide
side,
even
as
part
of
the
2%,
we
actually
have
also
inflation
built
in
on
as
Isabel
said,
and
construction.
Inflation
is
running
a
bit
crazy
these
days.
So
we
have
that
so
overall
you're,
probably
getting
about
sixteen
million
dollars
in
total,
going
increasing
to
capital
across
the
city,
but
the
biggest
piece.
O
L
The
transit
levy
is
on
the
tax
bill.
Yes,
okay
and
the
transit
levy,
the
citywide
levy
and
the
police
levy
combined.
The
bottom
line
for
a
taxpayer
is
a
three
percent
increase.
It
just
happens
to
be
different
in
between
each
of
those
various
levies.
So,
for
example,
the
citywide
levy
in
in
your
area,
mm-hmm
would
be
going
up
by
forty
nine
dollars.
The
police
levy
would
be
going
up
by
eighteen
dollars
and
the
transit
levy
would
be
going
up
by
forty
two
combined.
L
O
L
That
we
have
put
forward
actually
sees
a
portion
of
that
9.8
going
to
transit
each
and
every
year
in
this
in
this
term,
to
try
to
recoup
what
we
would
have
received
from
the
provincial
government
if
they
in
fact
had
doubled
the
gas
tax
they
were
going
to
their
gas
taxes.
I
think
is
that
thirty,
six
million
dollars
a
year,
so
we
were
eventually
going
to
go
to
72
million
dollars,
which
we
are
not
so
we
need
to
fill
that
hole,
and
this
plan
over
time
fills
that
hole
for
you.
O
K
Hi
on
Thursday
at
Planning
Committee,
we
have
the
annual
development
report
and
one
of
the
things
in
there
talks
about
how
well
we're
doing
as
a
city
and
certainly
that
the
average
home
has
increased
in
value
from
today's
figure
to
409
thousand
dollars.
So
we
all
know
that
that
impact
has
to
find
their
way
to
revisiting
the
values,
etc,
etc
and,
from
speaking
with
Wendy
Steffensen,
she
said
they
are
getting
faster
at
it.
K
But
do
we
have
any
idea
of
the
Delta
between
that
we're
missing
for
the
very
significant
retail
market
that
we
have
for
the
very
significant
growth
we
have
where,
for
example,
we're
not
getting
taxes
in
in
cases
for
up
to
three
years
on
brand-new
move-ins
right
or
in
the
case
where
home
has
gone
up
to
four
hundred?
Nine
thousand
I
forget
what
the
what
the
previous
number
was.
K
I'm,
not
sure
if
anybody
remembers
370
or
something
like
that,
but
that
seems
to
me
like
a
significant
amount
of
money
that
we're
not
capturing
we're,
not
basing
our
taxes
on
so
I'm
wondering.
Is
there
one?
Do
we
have
any
idea
what
that
looks
like
in
the
amount,
but
also
do
we
have
any
thought
that
maybe
that's
something
of
the
province
that
we
could
be
asking
for
their
initiative
to
you
know
quicken
the
process
for
impact.
L
L
We
haven't
yet
figured
out
a
way
to
capture
go
from
issuing
a
building
permit
to
when
it
should
show
up
on
our
supplementary
tax
role
and
and
what
kind
of
taxes
that
will
generate
so
we're
working
to
try
to
find
a
way
to
to
estimate
that
we
can
go
back
three
years
when
we
get
a
property
added
onto
the
tax
roll.
If
it
has
been
occupied
for
the
past
three
years,
we
can
actually
send
a
tax
bill.
That
is
for
the
past
three
years,
and
we
do
that.
L
K
It
can
take
kanata
can
out
of
north
and
councillor
suds
area.
And,
what's
you
know,
the
advancements
there
and
the
the
interest
in
investing
in
Ottawa
I
mean
I,
just
if
I
would
like
to
explore,
maybe
in
a
direction
to
you
that
we
look
for
a
company
or
someone
with
the
expertise
to
actually
do
that
kind
of
analysis
to
see
whether
it's
worthwhile
for
us
to
to
look
to
the
province
in
a
totally
different
way,
just
to
say
help
us
stay
up
to
date.
I.
K
J
I
Thank
Scott
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
very
much
mayor
a
couple
of
questions
with
respect
to
the
budget
directions,
the
first
of
which
is
the
inflation
rate.
As
far
as
I
can
tell,
the
inflation
for
August
year-over-year
for
the
Ottawa
portion
of
the
Ontario
cma
was
2.1
percent.
Is
that
roughly
accurate?
That's
we
share
the
same
and
at
one
point
in
20
in
the
last
year,
so
that
inflation
rates
spiked
up
as
high
as
3%
I.
I
L
I
L
Know
what
our
inflation
rate
is,
overall,
it
buries
a
biggest
a
big
chunk
of
what
we
provide
is
is
provided
as
construction
capital
projects,
and
we
know
from
experience
that
we're
seeing
just
now
is
that
inflation
is,
is
running
well
over
6%,
sometimes
up
to
10%
on
projects.
So
mr.
Gontier
is
trying
to
deal
with
that
as
best
as
he
can
to
try
to
advance
your
2019
capital
project,
a
budget
but
he's
being
significant
facing
significant
challenges.
Right
now,
with
respect
to
that,
what's.
L
There's
a
number
of
things
that
drive
construction
inflation,
one
of
the
big
things
is
and
more
partly
responsible
for
it
is
the
amount
of
work.
That's
out
there,
there's
only
so
many
companies
here
in
Ottawa
and
construction
companies
in
Toronto
don't
tend
to
bid
on
construction
projects
in
Ottawa.
So
you
only
have
so
much
capacity
here
and
when
we
prime
the
pump
and
draw
out
more
capital
work
out
there.
L
I
L
I
I
L
The
overall,
the
problem
with
comparing
how
much
you
get
increased
in
sessemann
versus
your
cost
of
growth,
is
that
your
costs
to
growth
or
are
kind
of
lumpy.
They
don't
go
up.
You
don't
build
a
quarter
of
a
fire
station.
If
you
get
a
quarter
percent
increase
in
the
in
the
area.
These
things
come
in
sort
of
higher
sort
of
lumpy
bits,
so
overall
they're
tracking,
fairly
close
over
time,
but
in
an
aiding
one
year
you
can
have
a
significant
difference.
I
Perfect
I'm,
looking
forward
to
seeing
that
one
of
the
frequent
questions
that
we
get
as
councillors
is
around
the
difference
in
the
taxation
rate
between
some
other
jurisdictions
and
ourselves,
where
the
residential
tax
rate
in
Ottawa
is
higher
than
jurisdictions
like
Toronto
we've
spoken
about
this
frequently
the
larger
commercial
industrial
tax
base
and
some
of
those
jurisdictions
plays
a
big
role.
The
commercial
industrial
tax
base
in
Toronto
plays
more
of
the
freight
that
the
city
needs
to
pay.
I
L
I'm
gonna
start
off
this,
because
this
is
a
constant
Bugaboo
that
I
hear
you
can't
compare
tax
rates,
so
Toronto
has
a
lower
tax
rate
than
us.
The
average
price
of
a
home
in
Toronto
is
over
a
million
dollars,
so
multiply
a
lower
tax
rate
by
a
higher
assessment.
And
what
do
you
get
the
same
taxation
yeah
if
I
look
at
actual
dollars,
the
city
of
Ottawa
is
now
in
the
mid
range
in
terms
of
municipalities
in
our
in
Ontario.
With
respect
to
taxation,
we
are
not
at
the
high
end
anymore.
L
Your
Oakville's,
your
Mississauga,
is
your
Vaughn's.
Those
are
the
municipalities
that
are
at
the
top
and
parts
of
Toronto,
of
course,
so
the
the
comparison
of
tax
rates
is
just
is
is
not
a
good
way
to
look
at
total
taxation.
With
respect
to
what
municipalities
are
split
between
residential
and
commercial,
it
has
been
staying
in
terms
of
total
dollars.
It's
actually
been
staying
fairly
constant.
The
problem,
though,
is
that
the
assessment
values
in
commercial
have
been
dropping,
so
their
value
has
been
dropping,
but
their
taxation
has
been
staying
the
same.
L
So
this
is
something
I
believe
council
needs
to
look
at
when
you
have
your
next
reassessment,
which
I
believe
is
going
to
be
in
2021,
is
for
implementation,
I
think
in
22,
whether
in
fact
you
want
to
continue
with
your
policy
of
having
neutral
tax
ratios,
which
means,
if
their
assessment
drops
it
doesn't
matter.
We
just
increase
the
ratio
so
that
they
end
up
paying
the
same
taxes
right.
So
that's
my
rent,
no.
I
L
N
Yes,
mr.
Knapp,
my
question
is
not
the
specifics,
but
as
part
of
the
the
direction
there
was
the
proposed
priority
for
the
term
of
council.
I
just
want
to
understand
how,
at
this
point,
what
sort
of
feedback
are
we
looking
and
what's
the
opportunity
for
engagement
on
that?
So
it's
more
of
a
procedural
question.
You
know.
B
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
just
want
to
ask-
and
this
is
more
kind
of
questions
for
mr.
man
Kony
as
well
in
terms
of
the
2.5
percent
increase
in
transit,
fare
notwithstanding
the
fact
that
we're
going
to
have
a
new
LRT
system,
people
are
going
to
be
discouraged
still
from
using
the
transit
system.
Therefore,
ridership
will
go
down
and
therefore
revenue
will
be
going
down
in
terms
of
ridership.
A
Do
we
have
statistics
on
the
the
drop
in
ridership
that
we've
experienced
and
if
we
can
get
those
metrics?
That
would
be
very
helpful.
The
other
metrics
that
we
need-
and
this
is
again
for
mr.
man
Kony-
perhaps
we
can
talk
about
this
at
the
Transit
Commission-
is
on
the
buses
that
have
been
late
and
missed.
Buses
I
think
would
be
really
important
to
see
the
statistics
on
that,
so
that
we
can
see
the
improvements
that
we're
supposed
to
see
once
the
LRT
is
starting.
A
But
right
now
it's
going
to
be
hard
to
convince
people
to
pay
that
extra
2.5%
when
when
they
are
very
quite
discouraged
from
the
service
they've
received,
especially
at
this
past
winter,
so
I
think
we're
going
to
need
that
information
as
well.
One
of
the
things
that
I'm
concerned
about
is
the
equi
pass
and
low-income
passes.
A
B
You
could
say
that
mr.
man
Kony
and
get
back
to
councillor
Kavanagh,
certainly
I
just
remind
members
that
yes,
their
passengers,
those
who
transport
paying
two
point:
five
percent
more
but
they're,
getting
a
2.1
billion
dollar
LRT
system,
plus
a
significant
new
service
in
in
hard-hit
areas
that
have
witnessed
delays
and
cancellations
and
so
on
and
those
come
into
effect
in
October
and
that's
I
believe
a
five
million
dollar
investment.
Mr.
Mann
chrony
correct.
So
you
know
I
think
in
fairness.
C
You,
mr.
mayor,
for
that
clarification
too,
because
I
think
it
is
important
to
realize
that
we
are
making
significant
investments
in
the
transit.
So
it
troubles
me
as
not
just
the
transit
chair,
but
as
a
councillor
that
some
would
want
to
start
looking
at
taking
away
from
that
service
in
order
to
keep
that
levy
lower.
C
L
C
So
my
concern
madam
treasurer
and
there's
more
content
and
something
you're
going
to
answer
earlier.
We
heard
this
referenced
as
a
charge
that
Doug
Ford
wants
to
charge.
Us
I
have
trouble
with
that
because
we're
that's
blaming
Ford
government
for
mismanagement
of
the
previous
government
on
a
financial
basis
and,
as
you
say,
confirm
for
me
just
now
that
money
was
not
in
the
2019
budget
as
promised.
Therefore,
it
was
basically
a
cheque
that
was
written
that
bounced.
So
thank
you,
Thank
You,
mr.
mayor.
B
I
Just
took
just
a
quick
point
to
why
stage
one
is
gonna
make
such
a
difference,
so
I've
got
an
OC
Transpo
bus
driver
in
my
ward,
who
was
listening
and
just
sent
me
an
email
to
say
that
in
a
snowstorm,
even
when
we
had
a
full
trans
away,
I'd
be
able
to
get
from
the
Mac
King
Bridge
to
Orleans
and
complete
a
local
part
of
the
route
faster.
Then
I
could
get
from
lebreton
to
the
Mackenzie
King
Bridge,
a
stalled
car
or
a
bus
or
anything
in
the
bus
lane
just
causes
complete
chaos.
B
B
Thank
you
so,
on
the
staff
recommendation
carried
now
mister
Cadillac
is
you
have
the
floor?
This
is
councillor
flurry
raised,
I,
don't
know
it's
councilor
flurry
here.
Oh,
they
are
right
in
front
of
me.
So
this
is
the
opportunity
now
for
mr.
Cadillac
has
to
give
us
his
proposal
with
respect
to
our
priorities.
As
a
council.
B
Q
Q
The
work
that
we've
done
and
I
want
to
tell
you
about
it's
about
a
five-minute
presentation.
I
want
to
thank
Donna
gray,
has
moved
over
to
community
social
services,
but
Donna
when
she
was
in
the
former
department
of
service,
innovation
and
performance
development,
led
the
initiative
and
created
the
framework
for
this
strategic
plan.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
markrony,
the
Cole
tree
who's
with
me
here,
who
is
the
director
and
service
transformation,
Kendall
Gibbon
who's
worked
on
in
Sami,
Qureshi
is
also
here
somewhere,
I
think
he's
in
the
in
the
back.
Q
These
were
key
people
who
put
a
lot
of
effort
into
the
framework
and
the
development
of
this
proposal.
This
report
is
going
is
connected
to
the
draft
that
20
19
20
22
term
accounts
of
priorities,
we're
seeking
the
approval
for
the
approach
and
timeline
for
the
standing
committees
and
Council
to
consider
these
priorities.
I
want
to
emphasize
that
this
is
not
the
staff
priorities.
This
is
not
the
staff
strategic
plan.
Q
The
staff
have
done
the
advance
work
to
give
counsel
a
framework
to
discuss
your
priorities
in
conjunction
with
the
budget,
four-year
term
of
counsel
that
you've
been
elected
for
so
this,
ultimately,
is
your
strategic
plan
and
you
can
make
changes
and
do
whatever
you
want
with
it.
This
is
our
best
foot
forward
in
terms
of
the
work
we've
done
to
try
and
capture,
as
I'll
explain
in
a
few
minutes
the
priorities
that
we
believe
that
counsel
should
be
considering.
Q
For
this
term
of
counsel,
but
it's
yours
and
you
will
be
directing
staff
and
monitoring
staff
in
terms
of
how
we
develop
and
how
we
implement
these
priorities
just
as
a
way
a
background
in
May
of
2011
Council
adopted
the
corporate
planning
framework,
which
outlined
the
best
practices
for
strategic
planning
and
and
the
performance
measurement
tools
to
make
sure
there
were
more
strategy
driven.
This
framework
supports
setting
strategic
priorities
for
each
tournament
council,
ensuring
that
our
programs
and
services
address
the
changing
needs
to
the
community.
Q
So
the
mayor,
standing
committees
and
transit
commission
oversee
the
priorities
on
behalf.
The
council
monitor
our
performance
and
provide
appropriate
direction
of
staff,
and
we
report
out
twice
a
term
under
that
framework
in
terms
of
how
we're
doing
against
the
the
strategic
plan
to
the
appropriate
Standing
Committee.
So
in
line
with
the
previous
planning
exercises,
we
prepared
the
drop
priorities
you
can
change
the
slide,
keep
on
going.
We
prepared
the
the
priorities
based
on
the
following
in
preparation,
the
senior
leadership
team
works.
Q
We
started
work
at
you
in
early
2018
on
this,
so
we've
been
at
it
for
15
months
and
we
grouped
around
three
themes:
our
city,
our
services
and
our
people.
The
first
planning
session
happened
in
March
of
2018.
We
did
12
planning
sessions,
we
we
consulted
with
a
variety
of
people,
and
we
struck
tried
to
strike
a
balance
between
spending
on
existing
core
services
and
investing
for
the
future
growing
population
of
Ottawa,
the
impact
of
climate
change,
competition
for
economic
investment,
investing
in
our
workforce
to
meet
and
growing
service
needs
and
expectations.
Q
We
also
talk
to
Department
staff.
We
provided
there
their
input.
We
also
looked
at
and
talked
to
external
subject-matter
experts.
People
like
Joel
barish,
who's,
a
world-class
urban
planner
or
city
builder
William
Edgars,
who
is
executive
director
of
the
Centre
for
government,
insights
and
Deloitte
Washington
in
terms
of
best
practices
for
service
delivery,
ian
coeliac,
a
partner
with
mercer
to
look
at
how
do
we
deal
with
the
trends
and
issues
facing
our
workforce
and
we
divided
the
the
plan
into
really
three
roles
of
the
city?
Q
Take
actions
which
is
where
the
city
leads
in
achieving
the
priority
outcomes
in
33
of
the
actions
have
been
identified
in
terms
of
the
city
leading
these
actions:
collaborate
directly
with
other
strategic
stakeholders,
there's
currently
eight
actions
under
collaboration
and
how
do
we
support
and
directly
help
others
to
achieve
priority
outcomes
and
there's
eight
actions
there?
The
process
was
informed
by
the
work
that
was
led
by
Steve
Willis
and
his
department
Ottawa
next
beyond
2036,
which
went
to
planning
committee
on
February
14th.
Q
That
was
a
big
piece
of
work
that
we've
used
incorporate
into
our
strategic
plan.
We
also
followed
very
closely
the
2018
municipal
elections
and
all
the
campaign,
literature
and
your
platforms
and
all
the
positions
that
counselors
have
took
when
they
were
running
for
reelection
and
we
actually
put
all
those
up
on
the
wall
and
looked
at
what
were
the
common
themes
across
all
of
Council
that
we
need
to
consider.
This
should
be
in
the
strategic
plan,
because,
ultimately,
this
is
a
report
card
on
council
at
the
end
of
your
term.
Q
In
terms
of
what
you
promise
to
your
constituents
to
have
achieved,
we
also
looked
at
the
priorities
from
the
2015
to
2018
last
tournament,
council
that
extended
into
this
term,
such
as
LRT,
affordable
housing,
reducing
GHG
emissions
and
remove
and
improving
access
to
city
services
through
service
through
digital
service
delivery.
So
the
proposed
priorities
as
a
center
around
our
city,
our
people
and
our
services,
and
with
respect
to
our
city,
we
want
to
make
sure
we
encourage
economic
growth
and
diversification.
Q
We
want
to
support
business
and
investment,
expansion,
attraction
retention
and
branding
Ottawa
as
you've
noticed
as
the
place
to
be.
We
want
to
make
sure
we
have
effective
mobility
through
a
sustainable,
accessible
and
connected
transportation
system,
promote
safety,
culture
and
social
and
physical
well-being
for
our
residents
grow
and
protect
a
healthy,
beautiful,
vibrant
city
that
can
adopt
a
change
with
respect
to
our
services.
We
want
to
deliver
innovative
services
that
continuously
improve
to
meet
the
needs
of
service
of
our
residents
and
invest
in
sustainable
infrastructure
to
meet
future
growth
and
service
needs.
Q
Respect
to
our
people.
We
want
to
provoke,
promote
service
excellence
by
supporting
our
workforce.
That
is
a
healthy,
diverse,
adopted
and
engaged,
and
we're
spending
a
lot
of
effort
on
that,
because
I
truly
believe
that
the
only
way
you
can
improve
service
is
investing
in
your
people.
Good
service
comes
through
your
people.
The
go
forward
approach,
as
you
saw
in
the
report,
as
a
draft
priorities
would
be
considered
Kendall,
you
could
have
moved
the
slides
Kendall's
having
trouble
keeping
up
with
me.
The
draft
priorities
will
be
considered
with
the
draft
2020
budget
process.
Q
Counselors
and
I
know
council
forum
and
have
some
questions
on
this
would
consult
with
residents
and
the
drought
priorities
during
their
war
budget
consultations
that
draft
priorities
with
the
financials
attached
to
them
are
going
to
be
tabled
in
the
draft
budget
in
November.
When
you
receive
the
draft
budget
and
along
with
the
drought
priorities,
you'll
also
receive
the
closeout
report
from
the
last
term
of
council
priority.
So
you
can
see
what
we
progressed
on
many
of
these
initiatives.
Each
Standing
Committee
after
the
budget
is
tabled.
Q
November,
as
part
of
the
budget
review
process
will
consider
the
portion
of
the
priorities
that
falls
within
its
terms
of
reference
and
hear
from
public
delegations
during
the
month
of
November.
As
we
go
into
December
and
then
council
would
approve,
the
priorities
can
make
changes
to
the
priorities,
amend
the
priorities
when
it
approves
the
budget
in
2020.
So
mr.
mayor,
that
is
the
the
process
in
terms
of
working
our
way
through
the
strategic
plan
and
linking
the
strategic
plan
to
the
budget,
that's
going
to
be
tabled
in
November.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
E
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I'm,
here
representing
the
Federation
of
citizens
associations.
You
folks
will
know
that
the
FCA
is
an
umbrella
group
representing
49
community
associations
across
the
city
and
the
term
of
council
priorities
clearly
is
an
issue
that
interests
that
our
members
in
general.
We
support
the
thrust
of
the
term
of
council
priorities,
but
there
are
some
issues
that
we
have
in
previous
budget.
Submissions
have
commented
on
that
are
part
of
this
and
if
I
could
ask
for
you
to
put
up
I
think
it
was
a
package
you
know
of
us.
E
E
Nevermind,
alright,
so
mr.
mayor,
it
would
have
been
helpful,
but
I'll
refer
to
the
item.
In
particular
that
strategic
plan
speaks
of
updating
the
transportation
master
plan,
that's
the
one,
a
transportation
master
plan
to
define
the
policies,
projects
and
other
actions
that
will
support
a
connected
and
sustainable
transportation
network.
This
involves,
of
course,
walking
cycling,
transit
and
roads.
The
city's
transportation
master
plan
now
encourages
increasing
modal
share
for
walking,
cycling
and
transit.
Why
do
we
want
those
investments
because
they
are
efficient?
E
They
are
environmentally
friendly
and
more
economical
to
the
taxpayer
as
opposed
to
building
and
paying
for
additional
Road
capacity
for
more
and
more
cars.
So
that's
why
we
want
to
increase
transit
ridership.
As
you
know,
the
past
few
years
we've
had
problems
with
increasing
transit
ridership
the
FCA.
In
the
past,
three
budgets
has
come
forward
to
transit,
Commission
and
ask
for
the
development
of
a
transit
fare
strategy
that
will
maximize
transit
ridership
to
meet
the
city's
TMP
goals.
E
We
should
have
that
strategy
that
way,
we
would
know
that
the
decisions
were
making
with
respect
to
fares
is
in
not
only
helps
pay
for
the
system,
but
also
will
serve
to
help
increase
ridership,
because
without
the
ridership
this
enormous
investment
we're
making
is
for
not
the
other
element.
That's
in
the
report
speaks
of
implement
mobility,
safety
initiatives
to
enhance
the
safety
of
vulnerable
road
users
like
pedestrians,
cyclists
and
motorcyclists.
E
We've
had
a
lot
of
controversy
in
the
community
about
what's
happening
on
our
streets,
the
tragedies
that
we
were
encountering
on
our
streets
discussion
about
vision,
zero
three
times
we
have
come
to
Transportation
Committee
and
asked
for
the
development
of
a
vision,
zero
program.
The
time
is
now,
let's
see
what
it
takes
to
make
our
streets
safer
and
get
on
with
the
program.
E
The
last
element
that
I
want
to
bring
to
your
attention
is
on
slide,
17,
where
the
report
says,
with
each
ward
councillor
to
identify
sites
for
the
installation
of
temporary
traffic
calming
measures
for
the
past
three
years.
The
FCE
has
come
forward
at
budget
time
to
ask
for
more
funding
for
traffic
calming
measures.
What
happened?
The
last
budget
was
not
more
funding,
but
a
shift
towards
helping
councillors
deal
with
temporary
local
traffic.
E
Calming
measures,
that's
nice,
but
that's
not
more
funding,
and
that
does
not
help
us
address
the
needs
in
our
communities
to
make
our
streets
safer
for
the
people
who
live
there.
So
these
are
three
items
that
we
would
like
to
see
some
tangible
action
on
that
you've
listed
in
your
20
19
20,
22
tournament
council
priorities.
Thank
you.
Mr.
mayor.
Do.
B
K
I,
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
it's
always
interesting
to
talk
about
about
this
and
where
we
go
and
how
we
get
there
I'm
just
wondering,
because
we
are
undertaking
and
we're
in
the
middle
of
almost
the
official
plan,
a
totally
new
official
plan,
not
just
a
redo.
Are
these
two
gonna
collide?
How
do
we
know
that?
Because
we're
going
to
be
going
into
a
big
part
of
public
consultation,
I
mean
we've
got
our
outline
that
we've
tabled
now
at
Planning
Committee
up
until
December.
K
R
Most
American
cerned
at
all,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
as
mr.
kendall,
a
circus
indicated
the
pre-work
we
did
on
the
official
plan.
The
beyond
2036
was
a
major
input
into
this
process
to
begin
with,
and
we
consulted
quite
broadly
that
process
so
I
think
we're
gonna
hear
a
lot
of
the
same
issues
come
up
through
the
process
and
I
think
many
of
the
things
we're
doing
in
the
Opie
and
this
plan
are
highly
aligned.
So.
K
R
So
mr.
mayor
I
just
understand
the
two
plans
and
their
different
roles,
so
the
beyond
2036.
The
official
plan
are
the
25
year
horizon,
where,
while
we
do
it
we're
thinking
about
a
hundred
years
worth
of
change
in
the
city,
this
is
very
focused
to
the
next
term
and
and
probably
a
bit
beyond,
not
understanding
what
this
council
does
setting
the
stage
for
the
following
council
so
different
time
horizons,
but
there
absolutely
can
dovetail
together.
R
N
Like
newly
elected
officials,
that's
clear:
when
is
the
best
time
for
individual
counselors
or
council
to
to
discuss
this
at
length,
because
my
initial
feedback
would
be
that
there
are
they're
all
great
elements
but
they're
elements
that
are
very
high
level
and
then
there's
very
focused
ones
and
to
me
it's
almost
imbalance
like
I
struggle
with
providing
constructive
feedback
on
that
basis,
because
I
could
turn
to
one
page
and
say
well.
What
are
the
targets
of
that
and
I
could
turn
to
the
other
page
and
say:
okay?
Q
Mr.
mayor,
the
today
is,
is
just
setting
the
the
context
and
the
process.
What
counsel
fer
is
saying
is
correct.
The
the
what
we're
bringing
back
at
when
we
table
the
budget
are
going
to
be
performance
outcomes
for
the
various
for
the
various
actions,
and
we
are
going
to
be
bringing
back
based
on
what
council
approves
as
a
as
a
financial
framework,
the
allotments
that
we
believe
can
be
attributed
and
allocated
to
the
various
initiatives
based
on
a
very
different
approach,
this
term
of
council
compared
to
the
last
term
of
council
in
strategic
plan.
Q
If
you
recall
the
last
term
of
council,
we
had
something
called
strategic
initiatives
where
we
had
the
benefit
of
the
uploading
of
the
province,
provincial
of
municipal
funds,
expenses
to
the
province,
something
that
mayor
Watson
was
actually
engaged
in
when
he
was
at
the
province,
and
we
benefited
hugely
for
that.
And
we
had
room
for
council
to
be
able
to
invest
in
strategic
priorities
that
upload
is
finished.
So
we
don't
have.
Q
Q
When
you
go
out
your
individual
community
meetings
with
the
various
stakeholders,
you
can
have
that
discussion
seek
input
and
we
can
support
you
on
that
or
when
you
have
their
regional
we're
going
to
have
that
the
traditional
regional
group
of
councillors,
getting
together
around
the
city
you're,
going
to
discuss
it
there
at
fedko
or
at
each
committee,
starting
with
today,
at
fedko
you're,
going
to
also
be
discussing
your
strategic
priorities
in
the
context
of
approving
the
budget
and
what
numbers
are
associated
to
the
actions.
So
you
will
be
able
to
have
a
discussion
about
I.
Q
Q
Think
for
staff
and
for
council
to
keep
track
and
truly
what
was
important,
because
what
we
ended
up
doing
was
fifteen
all
the
individual
work
plan,
action
items
from
departments
into
the
street
TG
plan,
because
everybody
wanted
to
see
it
there
because
they
thought
it
wouldn't
get
done
if
it
wasn't
a
strategic
plan.
The
difference
this
time
is
that
the
broader
priorities
capture
the
action
plans
which
are
rolled
down
into
the
departments
as
action
as
work
plans.
Q
N
T
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
just
express
my
thanks
for
when
I'm
what
I'm
hearing
and
what
I'm
seeing
is
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
that
goes
into
producing
this
plan
for
us
and
and
I
appreciate
the
expertise
and
the
attention
to
it.
I
love
a
good
plan
and
I
think
the
framework
that
you've
presented
here
in
my
mind
is
it
resonates
so
I'm,
seeing
a
theme
here,
whether
it's
around
economic
growth
and
diversification,
environmental,
stewardship
transportation
and
the
forth
around
thriving
communities
and
the
theme
that
I
see
there.
T
You've
really
highlighted
in
your
feature
around
our
services
and
so
service
excellence
through
innovation
to
me
is
the
common
thread
that
goes
through
all
of
these
and
as
we
proceed
obviously
with
our
budget
discussions,
I
think
we
should
be
cognizant
of
that
thread
and
making
sure
that
we
provide
the
funding
that
needed
to
make
sure
we
can
innovate.
As
we
look
at
all
four
of
these
streams.
The
other
comment
I
wanted
to
share
around
our
services.
T
The
document
outlines
our
services
are
designed
using
innovative
approaches
which
again
resonates
I
would
take
that
a
step
forward
that
our
services
are
designed
and
provided
using
innovative
approaches.
I
think
it's
not
enough
to
just
design
them,
but
we
need
to
look
at
how
we
provide
those
services
to
our
community
as
well.
My
last,
my
question
really
is
around.
T
We
see
today
the
slides
and
the
report
that
came
to
council.
Is
there
a
master
document
so
to
speak
that
will
be
shared
with
us.
I
know
you
referenced
in
the
last
term
of
council.
There
was,
you
know,
four
hundred
and
some-odd
priorities.
This
is
a
you
know,
a
tighter
group,
but
is
there
a
document
that
we
will
be
able
to
refer
to
and
and
come
through
beyond
what
share?
Today?
Yes,.
Q
We
have
there's
actually
two
documents,
there's
the
document
and
the
closer
report
that
you'll
be
receiving
from
the
previous
term
of
council,
which
builds
which
basic
transitions
into
this
plan,
and
then
the
actual
strategic
plan
is
the
attachment
that
there's
about
21
pages,
which
has
each
one
of
the
priorities
and
the
specific
actions
related
to
the
priorities
in
the
three
buckets
of
action
collaboration
support.
And
so
you
see
it.
Q
The
thing
that's
missing
from
right
now
are
the
financials
and
the
performance
measures
which
are
the
piece
that
we're
going
to
bring
once
Council
sets
its
its
budget
directions
report.
We
will
then
be
able
to
allocate
from
the
various
sources
what
we're
going
to
fund
what
we
recommend
will
be
fund
in
those
areas,
and
that
would
be
up
for
discussion
by
the
committee
chairs
committees
and
then
ultimately
Council
so.
T
H
You
counsel,
another
question
to
our
staff,
so
on
item
13
we
have
to
approve
and
receive
at
a
monthly
approve
that
occur.
A
recommended
approach
and
I
can
do
to
receive
the
draft
20
19,
22
term
of
council
priority
Omni
I
can
carry
and
receive.
Thank
you
very
much,
and
now
we

of
Catco
and

were
launched
on
March
8
2019
during
our

Women's
Day
breakfast
here
at
City,
Hall.
A
Since
then,
a

was
formed
to

guide
this
work.

group
include
the

Thank
You
mr.
chair,
thank.
H
T
Thank
you.
It's
chair,
so
yes,
I,
have
a
much
motion
to
table
here
today.
Just
as
a
bit
of
background
I
think
I've
shared
with
some
of
you
I've
been
asked
to
join
the
inaugural
board
of
directors
for
the
open
city
networks.
This
is
a
new
nonprofit
that
has
just
established
that
is
looking
at
developing
free
public
digital
infrastructure,
as
well
as
some
work
around
the
creation
of
common
data
standards
across
the
country.
T
T
T
Whereas
a
condor
technology
park
is
the
largest
technology
park
in
canada,
contributing
over
13
billion
to
Canada's
GDP
with
over
500
companies,
many
of
whom
are
leading
in
the
development
and
application
of
smart
city
technologies.
The
Mandate
of
the
open
city
network,
in
particular
the
development
of
digital
public
infrastructure,
leveraging
data
standards
is
of
interest
to
the
city,
whereas
the
cost
associated
with
the
travel
required
of
the
position,
which
is
consistent
with
the
2010
2014
council.
T
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
Finance
and
Economic
Development
Committee
recommend
council,
appoint
councilor
genocides
to
serve
on
the
board
of
directors,
Open
City
Network
for
the
2018
2020
20
term
of
council
via
further
resolved
that
Finance
and
Economic
Development
Committee
requests
councils,
suspend
the
rules
of
procedure
to
consider
this
motion
at
the
meeting
of
September
11th
2019.
Thank.
H
B
K
Steering
committee
that
we
support
councillor
is
George
de
Roos
and
Riley
Brockington.
The
both
have
agreed
to
serve
as
the
rural
and
urban
representative
and
whereas
parks
can't
has
requested
confirmation
of
the
city
of
autos
representatives
by
the
end
of
September.
2019,
therefore
be
resolved
that
the
that
fedko
recommend
the
council
appoint
councillors

in
Brockington
as
a
city
of
Ottawa's
representatives
on
the
