We
welcome
be
Avenue
and
I.
Ask
a
counselor,
Reilly
Brockington,
your
city
councilor,
to
come
forward.
Welcome,
Reilly.
D
I
want
to
extend
a
warm
welcome
to
the
family,
friends
and
associates
of
Betty.
You
were
here
today.
Almost
three
rows
of
people
have
come
to
honor
you
Betty.
This
award
recognizes
people
who
have
demonstrated
an
extraordinary
commitment
to
making
our
city
a
better
place
through
volunteerism
or
exemplary
action
through
her
church
and
through
various
fundraising
and
volunteer
opportunities.
D
Betty
has
been
giving
back
to
her
community
for
over
35
years,
she's
been
an
avid
Walker
for
most
of
her
life
and
on
her
80th
birthday
this
year
she
decided
to
channel
her
physical
and
spiritual
practices
into
her
fundraising
efforts.
Betty
is
a
board
member
of
Elder
Care
Foundation,
and
she
decided
to
undertake
a
demanding
spiritual
and
physical
journey
by
walking
the
famous
800
kilometer
Camino
de
Santiago
Trail
in
Spain
to
raise
money
for
the
foundation.
D
The
Elder
Care
Foundation
provides
grants
for
projects
that
improve
the
quality
of
life
for
residents
by
increasing
support
for
family
and
community
involvement
in
long-term
care
facilities.
Betty's
goal
was
to
raise
$10,000
for
each
of
the
thirteen
not-for-profit
long-term
care
facilities
in
Ottawa,
which
the
Elder
Care
Foundation
has
been
supporting
for
more
than
a
decade.
She
ended
up
exceeding
her
ambitious
target
raising
over
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
she
was
able
to
offer
some
of
the
funds
to
a
long-term
care
facility
in
her
home
country
of
Barbados.
D
His
hope
Gittens
is
a
past
member
of
the
board
of
directors
of
Ethiopia
Canada
international
development
organization
that
supports
projects
in
the
areas
of
maternal
health,
women's
and
girls,
empowerment
and
education.
She
was
recognized
for
her
work
as
chairperson
of
helped
the
agent
Canada
Canada
with
a
business
Woman
of
the
Year
award
from
the
Women's
Business
Network
she's,
also
fundraising,
co-chair
of
the
Ottawa
Hospital
Shirley
Greenberg
Women's
Health
Center
Gemini,
says
they
said.
Okay,
she
opened
up,
see
Betty
boo,
say
no,
but
it's
cool
I.
D
H
Good
morning
this
is
overwhelming
for
me
mr.
Muir,
thanks
fer
Brockington
and
members
of
the
City
Council
I.
Just
thank
you
tremendously
for
this
great
honor
I
didn't
do
anything
thinking
that
I
was
going
to
get
anything
so
so
this
is
really
quite
special,
but
if
you
have
faith
the
way
I
have
it
faith
tends
to
respond
to
the
needs
of
other
people.
Okay,
not
yourself
help
other
people.
H
H
H
H
H
You
it
was
nothing
that
I
said
or
did,
or
nothing
that
I
didn't
do
and
should
have
when
the
big
boss
came
from
Toronto,
so
the
branch
office
here
he
hold
the
local
manager
behind
a
partition,
and
he
said
these
words,
which
I
have
never
forgotten.
What
are
you
trying
to
do?
Put
us
out
of
business.
First,
you
hire
a
Chinese
accountant,
and
now
a
black
girl
get
rid
of
one
of
them
by
Friday.
I
won
that
one
and
I
want
you
to
know.
H
There
were
a
few
other
little
hiccups
along
the
way,
but
I
want
you
to
know
that
this
city
had
opportunities
way
back
then
in
1959,
and
they
have
these
opportunities
right
now.
All
you
have
to
do
is
want
to
work
and
then
be
prepared
to
start
at
the
bottom
and
maybe
get
your
hands
dirty
a
little
bit,
but
the
opportunities
are
here
in
this
beautiful
city,
and
one
last
thing
that
I
should
say
to
you
is
that
I
have
been
guided
by
my
faith
in
God
these
80
years
now.
H
D
Well,
beautiful
words,
Betty.
Thank
you
very
very
much.
We
have
two
other
special
presentations
that
we'd
like
to
begin
with.
I
asked
our
city
manager.
Steve
Cadillac,
is
to
join
us
as
well
as
our
general
manager,
corporate
services
and
city
treasurer
Mary
and
similar
to
come
forward.
The
Avenue
welcome.
D
After
more
than
28
years
with
the
city
of
ottawa,
Marian
will
be
retiring
next
week
as
a
member
of
the
Certified
Public
Accountants
of
Ontario
and
having
earned
an
MBA
and
Bachelor
of
Education
from
the
University
of
Alberta
Marian
has
always
been
a
strong
financial
steward
here
at
the
City
of
Ottawa,
she
was
responsible
for
all
financial
aspects
of
the
corporation,
including
development
of
the
3.8
million
dollar
operating
budget.
Issuing
tax
bills
makes
you
very
popular
at
parties,
I
bet
and
securing
private
sector
funding
in
the
capital
markets.
D
Marian
has
also
provided
sound
financial
guidance
to
a
number
of
different
councils
and
has
helped
the
city
become
a
leader
in
prudent
fiscal
management
and
accountability.
At
today's
budget
at
meeting,
rather
a
city
council
will
we
be
considering
the
2020
draft
budget,
which
is
the
last
one
that
will
have
been
worked
on
by
Marian?
My
thanks
Amerian
for
your
patience.
Persistence
and
dedication
to
not
only
this
budget
process
but
to
the
many
others
that
followed,
jean-jacques
MMC,
Marian,
Poole,
La,
Paz
Jones,
the
perseverance
inaudible
ma,
don't
LF
ever
evolve.
D
Elsa
processes,
fujita
Marian,
has
a
unique
gift
of
exceptional
financial
facts,
innovative
imagination
and
a
keen
dedication,
defining
elegant
solutions
to
complex
financial
problems
that
save
money
and
protect
taxpayers.
She's
also
had
an
unprecedented
ability
to
communicate,
complex
budget
information
to
taxpayers
and
to
explain
the
financial
complexities
to
members
of
council.
I
know
I'm.
Definitely
gonna
miss
working
with
Marian
as
I
could
always
count
on
her
to
provide
sound
financial
advice,
as
well
as
her
ability
to
find
innovative
ways
to
get
things
done.
D
She
had
very
much
a
can-do
attitude
any
time
we
went
to
see
her.
She
would
look
beyond
the
traditional
ways
of
financing
a
project
or
where
it
made
more
sense
to
cut
back
on
a
particular
area,
and
that
advice
was
wise
and
sage.
We're,
not
the
only
ones
they're
going
to
miss
these
contributions.
Marion
is
deservedly
recognized
in
her
career
with
the
Queen's
Diamond
Jubilee
medal
in
2013.
Her
work
ethic,
her
candor
and
steadfast
commitment
to
the
city
and
its
long-term
financial
health
will
be
greatly
missed.
D
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
Marion
to
thank
you
for
your
dedication,
your
exceptional
work
and
commitment
to
all
the
residents
of
Ottawa
and
all
of
my
colleagues
on
city
council
joechip
refute
a
dissent:
ok,
ok,
merci
Marion
person,
DePalma,
so
travaille
exceptionnal,
a
swan-ganz
Marvel
noir
Zedong.
Thank
you
very
much.
Marion
and
I'll
now
add
Steve
Cadillac
has
to
say
a
few
words.
C
C
But
it
goes
beyond
that
for
the
people
that
sit
around
the
table
with
Marian
every
day
and
the
people
that
work
with
or
every
day,
Marian
is
also
an
incredible
leader,
an
incredible
mentor,
a
person
who
really
cares
about
our
people
and
our
people
really
care
for
her.
And
you
see
that
every
day
and
the
interactions
that
she
has
with
them,
and
so
it's
been
one
of
those
remarkable
pleasures
for
me.
C
Thank
you.
We
thank
you
for
your
public
service.
All
of
us
appreciate
you
more
than
you'll,
probably
ever
know
and
we're
going
to
miss
you
miss
you
greatly
and
I
know
you
would
want
to
say
a
few
words,
but
first
the
mayor
and
I
would
like
to
present
you
a
photograph.
Apparently
it
was
your
favorite
view
from
the
old
city
hall
on
Sussex.
It's
a
photo
of
the
Rideau
Falls,
which
is
the
view
you
had.
It
is
probably
much
better
than
the
view
you
have
here,
but
those
days
are
gone.
I
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and
Steve,
that
is
my
favorite
view.
I
never
got
to
see
it
too
much,
but
from
my
office
settle
City,
Hall
I
used
to
be
able
to
see
Prime,
Minister
Quechan,
going
to
work
and
coming
back
from
work
and
I
was
still
there
and
I
thought
something
wrong
with
this
picture,
but
anyway,
like
the
other
people
who
have
stood
at
this
podium
to
be
recognized,
there's
a
long
list
of
people
I
need
to
thank
as
I
owe
my
success,
any
success
that
I
may
have
had
to
them.
I
I
They
are
truly
a
Saints.
Secondly,
I
want
to
thank
my
finance
family,
all
of
the
great
men
and
women
I
have
worked
with
and
for
in
the
finance
department
over
the
years.
Your
professionalism,
creativity
and
often
just
dogged
determination
have
supported
me
over
the
years
and
I
cannot
thank
you
enough.
I
Thirdly,
I
want
to
thank
all
the
cities,
city
staff
that
I
have
had
the
privilege
to
get
to
know
over
the
years.
I
have
never
failed
to
be
impressed
with
your
pride
in
serving
the
people
of
this
city
and
your
desire
to
make
this
a
better
place
to
live.
Next.
I
would
need
to
thank
my
colleagues
on
the
senior
leadership
team
and
it
truly
is
a
team
with
this
group.
Not
only
do
I
have
colleagues
I,
trust
and
respect,
but
also
once
who
I
count
as
friends
Steve.
I
Your
leadership
has
been
the
best
thing
that
has
happened
to
this
organization
and
you
remain
a
constant
source
of
inspiration
for
me.
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
and
his
staff
and
all
the
councillors
I
have
worked
with
I
had
the
honor
to
work
with
over
the
years.
Your
love
for
this
city
and
its
people
have
shaped
my
thinking,
guided
my
efforts
and
for
that
I.
Thank
you.
Lastly,
I
want
to
say
how
comfortable
I
am
I
feel
knowing
that
Wendy
is
going
to
take
over
in
this
role
a
few
years.
D
Well,
thank
you
very,
very
much
Marion
and
thank
you
for
your.
If
your
leadership
and
your
friendship
and
your
always
blunt
assessment
of
the
numbers
appreciate
that,
for
a
next
step,
presentation
I'd
like
to
invite
the
city
clerk,
rick,
o'connor
and
kathy
bowls
chief
of
protocol
to
join
Steve
and
I
will
miss
another
very
dedicated
colleague,
who's
retiring
Kathy.
Bowls
welcome,
Kathy
Kathy
has
served
as
chief
of
protocol
since
the
amalgamation
of
the
city
in
2001.
D
There
was
an
urgent
need
for
leadership
and
coordination
of
the
city's
ceremonial
protocol
and
diplomatic
activities,
we're
extremely
fortunate
to
have
recruited
Kathy
as
our
first
and
to
date.
Only
chief
of
protocol
Kathy
worked
exceptionally
hard
to
build
the
office
of
protocol
from
the
ground,
up,
creating
guidelines,
policies
and
processes
for
a
portfolio
of
events,
activities
and
services
serving
three
mayor's
and
two
city
clerks
Kathy
brought
a
dedication,
expertise
and
creativity
to
City
Hall
that
will
be
hard
to
match
and
her
hard
work
and
attention
to
detail
will
be
seen
throughout
the
hallways.
D
The
numerous
diplomats
and
dignitaries
will
attend
it
and
been
recognized.
I
understand
that
one
event
that
remains
very
special
and
very
dear
to
Kathy's
heart
was
the
work
she
did
to
organize
the
lying
in
state
of
former
mayor
Marion
Dewar
over
her
career
at
the
city,
Kathy
has
overseen
more
than
30
key
to
the
city,
ceremonies
13
trick
or
treats
with
the
mayor
events,
17
Canada,
Day
celebrations
for
seniors
and
19
mayor's
annual
celebrations.
I'm
going
to
tell
you
Kathy
is
such
a
diplomat.
D
I
was
at
one
of
the
Canada
Day
breakfasts
and
my
colleagues
who
have
been
there
at
Aberdeen
Pavillion
know
the
seniors
start
lining
up
about
6
o'clock
for
an
8
o'clock,
start
and
they're
very
excited
to
get
in,
and
then
I
saw
this
one
woman
and
she
was
making
a
beeline
right
to
me.
Now
that
could
be
really
good
news
or
really
bad
news.
D
It
turned
out
to
be
bad
news
and
she
was
upset
because
she
said
you
know
the
coffee
was
late,
I
didn't
get
a
bagel,
they
ran
out
of
fruit
and
I
said
ma'am
I'm
gonna
refund
your
entire
price
of
your
ticket.
She
said,
but
it's
free
I,
said
exactly
so:
Kathy
nearly
had
a
heart
attack
as
I
was
in
the
midst
of
that
rent,
19,
mayor's
annual
Canada
celebrations,
and
we
just
finished
a
very
successful
one.
Her
last
one
and
100%
of
the
cost
of
that
event.
D
Kathy
and
her
team
went
out
and
secured
sponsors,
so
it
was
all
funded
from
outside
of
City
Hall
and
that
the
first
Christmas
celebration
at
City
Hall.
The
story
goes
that
Kathy
was
very
worried
that
no
one
would
come
or
that
there'd
be
no
snow,
but
in
true
Kathy
fashion
it
turned
out
to
be
a
beautiful,
magnificent
magical
date
about
a
half
hour.
Before
the
start
of
the
event
hundreds
of
residents
began
to
arrive,
the
snow
began,
falling
and
out
of
the
blue.
D
A
choir
was
was
visiting
from
Italy,
showed
up
and
asked
if
they
could
perform
filming
City
Hall
with
the
beautiful
sounds
of
their
music
and
that's
what
we
came
to
expect
when
dealing
with
Kathy
at
the
protocol
office,
we're
fortunate
that
the
City
of
Ottawa
was
where
Kathy
always
wanted
to
work
and
that
she's
remained
dedicated
and
passionate
about
her
work.
At
City,
Hall
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
Kathy
for
the
incredible
work
and
all
you
accomplished
here
during
your
career,
we'll
grab
prophetess
at
Okayama
I
take.
G
D
J
Well,
thank
you
mr.
mayor
and
members
of
council
honored
guests.
As
the
mayor
just
shared
with
you,
cathy
has
devoted
more
than
two
decades
to
the
city
of
Ottawa's
office
of
protocol
building
it
from
the
ground
up
as
chief
protocol.
She
dedicated
her
life
to
public
service
and
to
the
City
of
Ottawa,
which
in
my
mind,
is
one
of
the
best
achievements
and
one
of
the
best
professions.
J
You
can
have
four
individuals
in
public
service
I've
worked
with
Cathy
for
more
than
two
decades
and
I
know
that
she
has
sacrificed
a
great
deal
to
showcase
the
city
of
Ottawa
and
has
always
held
herself
up
to
the
highest
standards
of
excellence
in
everything
that
she
does.
Cathy
has
been
a
valued
member
of
the
City
Clerk's
management
team
she's
been
both
a
caring
colleague
and
an
inspiring
leader.
J
Over
and
over
again,
cathy
has
worked
tirelessly
to
build
a
really
strong
team
of
individuals
in
the
protocol

prepared
to
go

extra
mile
for
her
always

in
fact,
they're
the
ones
that
drafted
up
these
notes.
For
me
now,
with
regards
to
that,
I
have
learned
two
things
in
working
with
Cathy
for
the
past
18
plus
years
number
one
do
whatever
Cathy
tells
me
to
do.
J
J
J
You
know
important
to
sort
of
you
know,
pull
the
curtain
back
just
a
little
bit
and
share
with
the
audience
and
your
friends
here
today
some
of
the
stories
that
people
don't
know
about
just
just
a
couple
you
know
so
so
the
first
one
is
is
one
of
the
Christmas
events
and
remember
when
you
wanted
real
animals
for
the
nativity
scene,
the
camel
Cathy.
Do
you
remember
the
camel?
J
J
Since
I
follow,
everything,
Kathy
tells
me
to
do
on
this
occasion
of
your
well-deserved
retirement
Kathy.
We
reflect
on
your
career
and
talk
about
the
fact
that
you
have
had
an
incredible
impact
not
only
on
the
city's
profile
as
the
nation's
capital,
but
also
the
positive
effect
you've
had
on
all
of
those
who've
worked
with
you
over
the
past
two
decades
and
as
such
a
desire
or
honor.
To
present
you
with
this
montage
of
photographs
of
various
protocol
events
taken
over
the
last
two
decades,.
F
Thank
you
to
our
city
manager
and
the
senior
leadership
team
for
teaching
us
on
a
daily
basis
through
your
actions
and
your
interactions,
the
meaning
of
servant.
Leadership.
Thank
you
for
walking
the
talk
last,
but
certainly
not
least,
Ric,
for
your
advice.
Candor
support
an
open-door
policy
over
the
years,
even
at
times
when
you
were
incredibly
busy
but
I
needed
to
speak
with
you
without
a
moment's
hesitation.
You
always
made
time.
Thank
you.
F
What
a
privilege
it
has
been
to
have
played
a
part
in
welcoming
remarkable
individuals
from
all
walks
of
life
to
City
Hall,
welcoming
them
into
our
home
individuals.
I
would
have
otherwise
never
had
the
good
fortune
of
meeting
royalty,
celebrities,
athletes,
diplomats,
politicians,
community
leaders,
the
list
is
endless,
as
I
look
back
over
the
last
20
years.
There
are
so
many
wonderful
memories,
far
too
many
to
possibly
share
at
this
time.
F
But
amidst
the
pomp
and
a
ceremony,
it
is
the
unscripted
moments
that
I
will
remember
most
fondly
over
hearing
at
the
mayor's
annual
Christmas
celebration.
A
little
girl
pleading
with
mrs.
Claus
to
put
in
a
good
word
to
Santa
for
her
brother,
explaining
he
really
hadn't
been
very
good
during
the
year,
the
emotional
mother,
taking
a
photograph
of
her
two
young
children
at
the
flagpole,
where
the
national
flag
of
her
country
of
origin
was
being
raised.
F
F
Knowing
at
that
very
moment
he
was
with
her
as
we
set
the
stage
for
hundreds
of
events
and
activities
over
the
years.
Large
and
small
I
may
have
played
the
role
of
producer
and
director,
but
the
accolades
belong
to
those
who
played
the
leading
roles.
The
real
stars
past
and
present,
who
supported
me
over
the
years
today,
I
offer
a
standing
ovation
to
the
dream
team
who
currently
comprised
the
office
of
protocol
Daniel,
Glenna,
Arnold,
Julia,
Elizabeth
and
Heather.
F
D
I
L
M
I
K
D
E
You,
whereas
at
the
special
meeting
on
November
15
2019,
the
community
and
Protective
Services
Committee,
considered
the
report
on
rental
accommodation,
study
and
regulatory
regime
which
subsequently
rose
to
Council
for
consideration
on
November
27th
2019
as
community
and
Protective
Services
Committee
report
8
and
whereas
on
November
15th
2019.
The
committee
approved
CPSC
motion,
2019
Oh
8/3,
which
recommended
council
request
the
mayor
to
ask
the
minister
of
municipal
affairs
and
housing
to
make
changes
to
Ontario
regulation.
E
Services
Committee,
therefore
be
resolved
at
Council.
Consider
and
vote
on
the
following
motion.
Being
a
revised
recommendation,
five
of
the
community
and
Protective
Services
Committee
report:
eight
that
council
requests.
The
mayor,
asked
the
minister
of
municipal
affairs
and
housing
to
make
changes
to
Ontario
regulation
583
0-6,
to
clarify
that
municipalities
have
the
authority
to
implement
a
business
licensing
bylaw.
Should
they
choose
consistent
with
that
for
private
transportation
companies
that
would
establish
a
system
of
life
stances
for
short-term
rental
platforms,
hosts
and
agents.
D
D
A
D
A
K
B
Straightforward,
we
have
a
regime
that
we
believe
has
worked
for
private
transportation
companies
where
we
license
uber
and
lyft
a
business
license.
Yet
because
of
a
weird
clause
in
the
Municipal
Act.
It
says
that
the
city
can't
play
in
real
estate
and
that's
why
the
the
clerk's
are
saying
we
don't
have
the
authority
within
the
Municipal
Act.
All
I'm
asking
is
for
the
mayor
to
write
to
the
province
so
that
we
gain
exactly
the
same
authority
that
we
have
in
a
business
license
environment
for
ubers
and
lyft's.
B
So
if
it's
worked
well
under
one
regime,
it
should
also
work
well
on
the
other
and
to
support
that
we
heard
the
delegations
that
committee
spoke
in
the
need
to
ensuring
that
everyone
was
compliant
and,
interestingly
enough,
Airbnb
actually
spoke
to
that
Alex.
Dad
came
and
said
we
will
comply
with
the
city
regulation,
but
our
biggest
fear
is
that
our
competitors
won't
be
mandated
to
come
to
have
the
same
environment.
So
all
I'm
asking
is
that
we
gain
the
authority
so
that
everyone
follows
the
same
regulations
every
platform.
So.
D
B
D
Just
want
to
make
sure,
though,
because
there's
some
people,
including
groups
that
appeared
before
committee,
that
clearly
said
the
majority
of
landlords,
are
actually
a
good
landlord,
so
starting
a
licensing
regime
would
cost.
Lord
knows
how
many
millions
and
how
many
public
servants
to
regulate
so
you're
clear
on
that.
If
you're
clear
on
that
I'm
fine
writing
a
letter
to
the
minister,
that's
I'm,
not
gonna,
hold
my
breath
that
the
current
Minister
is
gonna
deal
with
this,
but
we
can
write
and
see,
and
okay
so
on
the
motion
carried
okay.
Thank
you.

D
O
P
P
You
mr.
mayor
residents,
in
Ward
13
having
gate,
have
enjoyed
the
affordable
entertainment
that
minor
league
baseball
provided
in
the
past
and
are
therefore
content
with
the
prospect
of
the
sport
returning
to
the
Ottawa
stadium
on
Coventry
Road.
They
are
also
happy
that
such
an
important
city
asset
will
be
maintained
and
that
it
will
have
a
chance
to
be
utilized
to
its
fullest
potential
due
to
its
proximity
to
light
rail.
P
The
stadium
is
the
only
sports
facility
in
the
city
situated
adjacent
to
mass
transit,
intercity
rail,
a
hotel
and
citywide
cycling
network
along
with
freeway
and
major
arterial
access.
The
debut
of
LRT
will
be
a
major
contributing
factor
to
improved
accessibility
to
the
stadium,
which
in
turn
will
improve
the
viability
of
a
new
baseball
franchise
as
ward
councillor
I
support
the
staff
recommendation,
because
the
partnership
was
ranked
the
most
viable
franchise
option
based
upon
its
capacity
to
operate
a
successful
business.
P
The
commitment
that
the
partnership
has
proposed
includes
a
half
million
dollar
investment
into
the
franchise,
along
with
protections
for
taxpayers,
by
ensuring
that
the
new
baseball
ownership
group
has
the
capacity
to
cover
the
prior
heirs
of
the
previous
team.
The
partnership
also
has
the
added
advantage
of
comprehensive
sports
and
entertainment
experience
along
with
the
future
in
a
viable
league.
It
makes
sense
to
support
the
most
viable
proposal
so
that
base
so
that
the
baseball
stadium,
one
of
the
only
major
city
owned
sports
assets
in
the
easterly
end
of
Ottawa,
is
purposefully
used.
P
That
is
why
I
was
highly
gratified
to
support
deputy
mayor
dude
asses
successful
motion
at
Council
in
September,
which
called
for
staff
to
work
with
council
and
all
relevant
stakeholders
to
find
opportunities
to
increase
public
and
community
usage
of
the
stadium
beyond
baseball,
to
attract
a
more
diverse
mix
of
sport
and
community
use.
Currently,
efforts
are
underway,
and
local
sports
groups
are
intrigued
and
interested
in
pursuing
opportunities
to
make
the
stadium
a
destination
beyond
its
50
day
baseball
season.
P
Additionally,
the
arrival
of
light
rail
creates
a
unique
once-in-a-generation
opportunity
to
locate
affordable
housing
on
the
adjacent
site,
along
with
other
mixed-use
of
amenities,
as
the
province
has
provided
the
tools
to
pursue
inclusionary
zoning
around
major
transit
stations.
Consequently,
I
introduced
a
direction
to
city
staff
in
September
to
commence
a
community
vision
process
and
consultation,
starting
in
2020
focused
on
the
use
of
the
stadium
and
the
potential
land
use
of
the
approximately
19
acres
site.
P
The
community
is
enthused
about
this
process
as
Overbrook
one
of
the
most
low
income
high
needs
neighborhoods
in
our
city,
is
been
currently
engaged
in
a
visioning
exercise
to
reduce
poverty,
improve
access
to
affordable
housing
and
increase
economic
development
opportunities.
This
first
step
is
a
first
step
in
the
process
undertaken
with
input
from
residents
and
the
Community
Association
has
included
a
community
beautification
project
to
Queen,
Mary
and
Lola,
where
construction
will
begin
in
September
2020
to
improve
the
look
and
feel
of
that
intersection.
P
Along
with
the
creation
of
a
new
Park,
the
community
has
also
recently
received
a
grant
from
crime
prevention
Ottawa
to
work
on
a
community
base,
a
public
safety
strategy.
A
next
key
component
of
the
over
2020
vision
will
be
the
viability
of
baseball
and
future
development
and
a
community
vision
for
the
stadium
site,
and
that
is
why
I
will
support
this
recommendation.
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
great.
D
K
Mr.
mayor
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
would
also
like
to
recognize
the
the
work
has
been
done
by
the
various
councils.
Councilor
dude
us
and
councillor
King
on
this
file.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
mr.
Cheney
this
week
and
we
had
a
good
discussion.
I
was
reassured
about
specific
issues
in
terms
of
the
right
to
develop.
If
osei
really
wanted
to
develop
the
site,
all
these
components
I'd
have
to
come
back
to
Council.
So
it's
not
a
blank
check.
It's
really
a
possibility
for
future
programming.
K
I'm
surprised
to
see
the
group
willing
to
cover
the
debt.
I
know
those
in
business
and
it's
always
surprising,
to
see
a
private
company
willing
to
cover
the
debt
of
a
previous
company,
but
they
agreed
on
that
principle
and
despite
the
fight
and
I'm
surprised
by
that,
it's
that's
what
they
want
to
do.
That's
great
I've
asked
questions
and
just
for
clarification
purposes
for
people
here
in
the
room
today.
Mr.
Cheney,
could
you
clarify
the
process?
K
O
Mr.
mayor,
we
followed
the
emotion
from
September
to
go
out
and
look
for
any
viable
proposals
that
would
protect
the
taxpayer
dollars
and
would
continue
baseball
at
the
stadium.
And
so
we
followed
that
process.
We
look
for
proposals
that
had
a
good
understanding
of
baseball,
had
solid
financials
and
had
the
the
resources
to
undertake
baseball
at
the
stadium.
O
B
Thank
you,
so
I
did
work
with
councilor,
King
and
and
Dan
Sheni.
Mr.
mayor
I
do
have
a
direction
to
staff
and
I
want
to
preface
it
with
a
couple
of
key
points.
I
believe
we
want
baseball
tees
be
successful
in
Ottawa.
We
hope
that
this
again
will
bring
back
the
fulsome
days
of
the
Ottawa
links
where
the
entire
stadium
was
sold
out,
and
it
really
wasn't
an
important
gathering.
I
believe
that
the
LRT
connection
is
is
an
important
one.
It's
that's
a
well
located
stadium.
B
B
We've
given
clear
mandate
to
look
at
community
use
and
increasing
the
community
use
of
the
space
and
I
believe,
there's
two
components
to
that:
one
which
is
maximizing
the
variety
of
sports
that
can
play
in
the
stadium
outside
of
the
baseball
period
or
not
to
compete
with
the
baseball
period
and
the
other
one
being.
Let's
not
wait
if
the
stadium
is
too
big
and
not
selling
out
well,
the
above
above
stands
spaces
that'd,
be
the
the
the
old
restaurateur
that'd,
be
the
old
needs,
fed
a
plush
there's
an
opportunity
to
start
using
those
spaces
differently.
B
As
part
of
the
annual
lease
agreement
for
the
stadium
provision,
that
would
allow
for
the
consideration
of
community
booking,
within
the
December
1st,
to
March
31st
exclusive
opportunity
period
for
the
partnership
and
to
clarify
that
be
on
April
1st
of
each
year.
This,
the
city
and
the
partnership
will
have
the
ability
to
make
additional
bookings
for
available
dates
and
times
on
a
first-come,
first-served
basis.
So
this
is
simply
to
maximize
the
use
of
the
stadium
as
a
direction
that
mr.
Chaney,
wrote
and
I
believe
is
supportive
of.
Q
Thank
you,
your
worship
in
good
morning,
everyone
I
too,
have
read
the
report.
I
appreciate
the
comments
from
my
colleagues
thus
far
and
have
a
few
questions
for
staff.
I
just
want
to
you
to
clarify
and
acknowledge
that
when
you
went
out
to
seek
bidders
to
take
over
the
stadium
and
interned
in
a
lease
you're
very
open,
it
wasn't
just
for
prospective
baseball
operators.
It
was
if
you
had
a
viable
offer
to
run
basically
anything
that
you
were
open
to
that
you
weren't
exclusively
looking
at
baseball.
O
Q
Just
to
be
clear,
the
agreement
with
osei
will
allow
other
opportunities
that
the
as
per
your
report,
if
they
want
to
have
other
offerings
other
than
baseball,
they
can
rent
the
stadium
there's
some
sort
of
fee
that
will
be
negotiated
on
a
per
use
basis,
but
we
do
want
to
stadium
to
be
used
for
purposes
other
than
baseball,
for,
in
addition
to
baseball,
is
that
correct?
Mr.
Q
Hundred
and
twenty-five
thousand
dollar-
and
you
will
be
given
that
our
costs
far
the
operating
costs,
far
exceed
revenues
that
we've
been
getting
and
are
projected
to
get.
How
did
you
come
up
with
a
hundred
and
twenty
$5,000?
Is
this
the
best
that
we
can
get?
What
type
of
analysis
did
you
do
to
come
to
this
amount.
O
Mr.
mayor,
the
$125,000
originated
from
some
calculations
that
were
done
for
the
champions
for
2019,
so
we
looked
at
what
our
commercial
rates
are
for
renting
the
field.
The
number
of
games
are
gonna
play
whether
or
not
they're
going
to
be
using
the
lights
and
in
some
staff
recovery
time,
and
that's
where
the
125
originated.
We
we
also
looked
around
at
other
municipal
stadiums
in
in
minor
league
baseball,
and
the
one
with
the
$125,000
is,
is
within
the
range
of
what
would
be
considered
a
market
for
municipal
stadiums.
It's
a
pretty
unique
market.
O
Q
O
Q
O
Q
I
will
be
supporting
the
motion
before
us.
I
do
appreciate
the
direction
I
do
think
that
as
the
owners
of
the
stadium
who's,
who
has
operating
costs
that
far
exceed
the
revenues,
we
have
to
look
for
as
many
ways
both
ourselves
as
the
owner
and
as
as
the
tenants
to
maximize
the
number
of
opportunities
that
are
offered
at
the
stadium,
both
at
community
level.
All
the
way
up
to
corporate
level.
So
I
appreciate
that
you've
done
the
work,
but
we
are
expecting
to
have
sort
of
a
multi-use
function
of
the
stadium.
So
thank
you
great.
D
A
The
emotions
mandate
in
that
we've
seen
the
success
that
these
two
groups
have
had
with
our
own
independent
ventures
and
I
am
looking
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
my
council
colleagues
to
ensure
that
they're
bringing
that
to
this
site.
I
did
have
one
question
in
respect
to
the
parking
facilities
at
this
location,
because,
once
again,
that
is
a
section
of
land.
A
We
have
a
wonderful
opportunities,
potentially
with
the
statum
stadium
as
an
infrastructure
piece
is
staff
also
looking
at
leveraging
the
parking
facilities
for
not
just
the
purpose
of
vehicles,
but
also
for
the
community
and
other
activities
within
the
area.
So,
mr.
mayor,
as
a
result
of
the
direction
to
staff
that
councillor
King
was
part
of
in
the
previous
time
and
looking
and
visioning,
and
how
the
site
would
be
used,
I
think
that's
appropriate
to
raise
that
issue
in
the
context
of
those
other
opportunities.

R
Thank
You
mr.

this
one
is
I
spoke
with
Sean
Moore
who's,
the
planner
on
this
file,
and
he
said
this.
One
is
one
that
slipped
by
him
that
he
should
have
caught
himself.
So
really
it's
a
technical
amendment,
but
it
was
brought
forward
at
committee
commented
on
by
the
by
North
American
representative,
and
in
order
for
this
to
be
completed,
we
need
this
change
that
should
have
happened
when
the
report
was
drafted.
D
I
S
I
M
D
A
Thank
You
mayor
just
let
folks
know
this
is
a
triplex
four-plex
conversion
of
the
type
that
I
have
often
asked
you
to
oppose.
Letting
folks
know
that
in
this
instance,
the
developer
went
to
an
open
house,
told
the
community
I'm
applying
for
a
triplex,
but
I
will
be
asking
for
a
four-plex
went
to
the
committee
of
adjustment,
told
the
committee
of
adjustment.
I
need
variances
for
a
triplex,
but
I
will
be
building
a
four-plex,
and
it's
now
before
us
I'd
like
to
encourage
more
developers
to
follow
a
similarly
transparent
process.

B
Second,
so
I
did
bring
this
up
at
committee
and
I
I
do
want
to
reiterate
in
front
of
Council
and
I
hope
that
we
can
get
to
the
bottom
of
this.
In
the
opie
the
we
were
waiving
40
parking
spots,
so
there's
no
parking
spot
out
of
that
building
on
the
corner
of
Besser
and
King
Edward,
which,
from
a
practical
point
of
view,
we're
investing
in
light
rail,
I'm,
supportive
of,
but
that
also
reduces
the
cost
for
developers
of
1.2
million
dollars
for
which,
as
a
community
benefit,
we
can't
pull
so
at
some
point.
B
It'd
be
nice
through
the
opie
or
somehow
that,
when
there's
a
waiver
of
a
parking
requirement
that
we
also
can
generate
that
into
a
community
benefit
that
it
be
additional
cycling
lanes,
IB
improvements
to
intersections
whatever
that
might
be
so
for
the
record.
I'll
dissent
on
that
specific
item
not
on
the
development
or
the
height
or
the
elements,
I
think
the
staff
have
done
a
good
job,
but
I
do
think
that
we
need
to
tie
in
the
bow
when
we
waive
parking
parking
components
to
generate
that
revenue
into
community
benefits.
D
So

we'll
go
through
the
motions
to
get
them
on
the
record.
First
councillor,
Brockington
seconded
by
Councillor
hubely,
on
a
motion
on
OC
Transpo.
Please
just.
Q
You,
mr.
chair
and
mr.
worship,
their
worship
and
good
morning,
everyone
so
before
us
today
is,
we
know,
is
the
term
of
council
priorities
covering
off
all
the
departments
within
the
city
and,
in
particular,
I'd
like
to
move
an
additional
priority
for
the
Transit
Commission
right
now
in
the
documents
there's
basically
one
and
that
is
to
ensure
that
the
work
associated
with
constructing
LRT
phase
2
proceeds
forward.
Obviously
that
needs
to
be
a
priority
and
I
support
that
we
as
a
Transit
Commission,
stopped
the
publication
of
performance
statistics
when
LRT
phase
1
started.
Q
This
was
something
that
we
had
done
and
to
a
degree
it's
already
done,
or
it
continues
to
be
done.
But
what
I'm
looking
at
is
a
formal
reporting
mechanism
that
the
Transit
Commission
receives
twice
a
year.
It's
very
similar
to
bylaw
statistics
that
we
get.
We
get
reports
from
our
emergency
services
on
ambulatory
care.
The
fire
service
provides
stats,
the
auto
Police
Services,
Board
Versys
annual
stats,
and
this
is
no
different
and
particularly
when
the
performance
of
a
public
transit
system
has
been
basically
on
the
front
burner
for
many
months.
Q
The
importance
of
those
stats
for
LRT
bus
and
para
Transpo,
so
I
am
moving
a
additional
priority.
I
would
like
to
thank
chair
Hubli
for
his
support.
He's
seconding
this
priority
and
really
it
is
intended
to
give
the
Transit
Commission
at
the
aggregate
level
performance
assists
that
we
need
to
look
at
routes,
bus
routes,
para
Transpo,
LRT,
to
make
decisions.
This
does
not
mean
that
performance
stats
other
than
twice
a
year,
won't
happen.
Q
We
need
to
refine
that
at
the
trends
at
Commission
transit
Commission's
gonna
meet
next
week,
and
we
need
to
talk
about
the
daily
reporting
of
roots
that
are
canceled
or
delays
to
bus
para
LRT.
We
have
to
refine
that,
but
this
is
talking
about
the
global
reporting
that
comes
to
the
Transit
Commission
twice
a
year
similar
to
other
departments
report.
So
mr.
chair
I'm
putting
this
introducing
this
and
putting
this
on
the
floor.
Thank
you.
D
G
Is
an
amendment
to
the
Jean's
motion?
It's
a
friendly
amendment.
We
had
the
opportunity
to
discuss
it
so
on
December
3rd
2019,
the
Finance
Economic
Committee,
unanimously
endorsed
a
motion
by
councillor
QC
to
include
the
recommendations
to
include
the
recommendation
put
forward
by
the
author
was
to
reflect
the
ottawa's
bilingual
character
in
three
priorities,
and
whereas
this
approach
was
expressly
enacted,
such
as
the
committee
suggest,
council
could
reinforce
its
commitment
to
the
bilingualism
policy
and
the
delivery
of
fresh
language
services
to
residents
in
Ottawa.
G
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
staff
of
the
office
of
city
clerk
and
the
Department
of
Recreation
culture
and
facility
services
be
directed
to
work
with
interested
councillors
as
a
pilot
pilot
project
for
the
development
of
the
2020
operational
goal.
Bilingualism
policy
claws
are
one
point
six
with
the
objective
of
developing
clear
metrics
as
it
relates
to
the
following
review
and
assess
the
number
of
bilingual
staff
whose
primary
function
is
to
deal
directly
with
the
public
on
a
full-time
basis
for
the
above-mentioned
service
areas.
G
Claws
are
1.18
bilingualism
policy,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
council
direct
fresh
language
services
to
assist
the
general
managers
in
the
development
of
their
respective
2020
departmental
French
language
operational
plans
and
to
ensure
that
these
are
made
available
to
feko
and
counsel
in
the
office
of
the
City
Clerk's
annual
report.
That's
claws
are
one
point:
six
of
the
bilingualism
policy,
which
will
be
available
for
a
public
consideration.
G

go

Ok,
so
on.
D
The
motion
carried
next
is
councillor
Menard
or
I'm.
Sorry,
counselor,
suds,
now
signed
by
councillor
Menard
with
respect
to
e
buses
and
I.
Think
the
the
one
item
that
you
might
point
out.
The
change
which
I'm
happy
to
support
now
is
the
word
after
the
electric
bus
pilot
is
assessed
because
I
think
some
members
of
council
were
concerned,
we're
doing
a
pilot
and
we're
jumping
the
gun
before
the
we
get.
The
results
back
so
I
appreciate
the
councillors
that
worked
on
that
as
a
compromise,
so
councillors
sides
please
so
I
can
about
councillor
Menard
traffic.
E
D
D
As
you
know,
we
made
a
commitment
to
go
forward
with
a
pilot
project
and,
at
the
same
time,
I
made
the
commitment
and,
in
the
last
visible
election
and
count
and
Minister
McKenna,
made
a
commitment
to
support
our
project,
which
is
great
and
she's
now
in
a
very
good
portfolio
for
all
of
us
to
help
us
on
that
front.
So
we
appreciate
that
we'll
start
those
negotiations
with
her
in
her
department
and
and
I.
Think
this.
You
know
many
cities
are
going
down
this
route.
D
That's
why
I
thought
it
was
important
that
we
do
a
test
in
our
own
backyard,
because
our
situation,
as
we
all
know,
is
a
little
different
from
a
temperature
point
of
view,
Ottawa
Toronto
from
a
geography
point
of
view,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
all
of
the
results
on
our
local
grown
in
Ottawa
test
pilot
for
for
electric
buses.
So
thank
you
for
the
changes
that
came
about
over
the
last
couple
of
hours
and
days
by
councillor
suds
and
councillor
Menard
and
councillor
Brandon
you
up
the
floor.
Q
Can
you
just
turn
that
on?
Thank
you,
your
worship
I
wholehearted
the
I'm,
glad
that
the
wording
to
wait
until
after
the
pilot
to
move
forward
was
inserted,
but
I
think
we
just
have
to
clarify
the
assumption.
Is
the
pilot
will
be
successful,
because
if
a
pilot
isn't
successful,
we
shouldn't
move
forward
and
on
that
note,
I
just
want
to
know.
Where
are
we
with
the
pilot
right
now
we
gave
some
marching
orders
to
tender.
L
Yes,
mr.
mayor,
we
were
working
with
various
partners,
including
we're
looking
at
cue
trick,
who
does
electric
bus
technology
across
Canada?
They
have
a
standing
offer,
we're
looking
at
whether
we
can
tap
into
that
and
because
we
want
to
get
the
buses
out
this
year.
That's
the
goal
plan
B
is
we
can
there
are
a
couple
of
vendors
that
are
prepared
to
bridge
us
a
couple
of
buses
and
then
build
out
towards
the
end
of
the
year?
L
Hydro
Ottawa
has
stepped
in,
and
they're
gonna
save
us
some
money,
because
they're
gonna
do
the
electrical
engineering
and
the
design
and
so
forth
because
they
want
to
be
in
that
space.
So
we
don't
have
to
get
consultants
on
board
and
so
forth.
So
we
had
a
very
productive
kickoff
meeting
with
hydro
Ottawa
earlier
at
the
end
of
November.
Our
goal
is
to
have
them
out
in
service
by
the
end
of
the
year
or
sooner
and
collecting
data
and
so
forth.
The
good
news
on
that
part
is
we're.
L
A
You
very
much
mr.
maryk.
There
are
some
members
of
the
electrical
vehicle
community
who
are
concerned
that
staff
have
locked
into
a
technology
already
before
the
pilot
project
is
over
and
that
they're
focused
on
the
type
of
electric
buses
that
are
fed
with
overhead
wires.
I'm
just
trying
to
get
a
sense
of
exactly
what
we're
looking
at
and
what
different
options
are
being
piloted.
L
No,
that's
a
great
question.
Councilor
all
the
the
feed
and
the
charging
systems
is,
it's
all.
Coming
together
nicely.
The
industry
is
driving
towards
common
interchangeable
charging
stations.
That's
why
we
want
hydra
hydra,
auto
at
the
table.
Will
we'll
go
with
that
approach
in
terms
of
the
technology?
Some
of
it
is
interchangeable
and
we're
not
locking
into
any
type.
There
are
there's
a
handful
of
vendors
out
there
that
give
you
the
bus
and
the
charging
components.
What
we're
planning
to
do
is
whichever
one
works
best
for
Ottawa.
A
I
Thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
this
motion.
Very
much
I
had
asked
a
question
at
transit
about
the
40
buses
that
have
to
wait
in
case
the
other
tea
breaks
down
and
I
wanted
to
know
and
I
asked
this
before,
but
given
that
we're
prioritizing
electric
buses,
if,
if
we
could
make
that
a
top
priority
in
terms
of
those
buses
that
have
to
sit
there,
an
idle.
L
You
know
we
don't
we
don't.
We
have
hybrid
buses
right
now
which,
as
you
know,
didn't
perform
well
they're
being
phased
out.
There's
some
of
them
are
still
in
service
and
the
buses
that
are
out
for
the
r1
service.
There's
20
of
those
they
do
we've
reduced
the
idling
time.
Mr.
Greer
has
a
plan
we're
on
warmer
days.
We
don't
have
to
idle
for
the
morning
in
the
afternoon.
I
know
some
people
think
we're
out
there
all
day,
but
we're
not
and
in
terms
of
acquisitions
of
buses.
You've
got
the
pilot.
L
That's
coming
out,
we'll
see
how
many
who
can
get
through
that
we'll
put
those
in
service
and
then
we'll
bring
forward
the
report
that
this
motion
references
and
the
the
perfect
alignment
that's
going
to
occur,
for
you
is
once
you
have
all
the
information,
capital
and
operating
costs
and
the
transit
affordability
plan.
In
the
years
from
2021
to
2026,
you
will
have
the
opportunity
to
replace
341
buses
because
we're
entering
a
peak
replacement
phase
of
our
life
cycle.
So
it's
actually
very
good
timing.
The
other
great
thing
that's
coming
is
the
articulated
buses.
L
The
electric
ones
are
now
entering
the
marketplace,
so
we
anticipate
within
the
next
12
to
18
months.
You'll
also
have
that
opportunity
and
you
have
a
large
replacements
of
those
coming
in
2024.
You
have
a
hundred
and
I
think
140
of
those
coming
also
forward,
so
lots
of
opportunities.
If
the
numbers
work
and
you
like
what
you
see
or
you
you
you,
the
results
are
positive.
Thank.
E
R
Thank
you
that
mr.
man
Kony
all
its
it's
certainly,
you
know
the
way
to
go
move
forward
for
us
to
go
in
that
direction,
for
all
the
right
reasons
that
everybody's
already
talked
about,
but
as
part
of
your
assessment
I'm
wondering
about,
are
you
going
to
be
factoring
the
cost
and
what
we
get
her
per
dollar
from
it?
Because
you
know
we
know,
we
know
no
matter
where
I
look
around
the
table.
R
People
know
that
we
need
more
vehicles
to
move
people
all
right,
you're,
arguably
we'd
love
it
to
be
LRT
sooner
faster
whatever,
but
in
the
interim,
what
is
the
cost
for
purchasing
a
hybrid
per
seat
as
opposed
to
a
bus
that
will
serve
our
ever-growing
public
and
underserved
public
and
I'm?
Just
wondering
if
you're
also
measuring
that
councilor.
L
You're
absolutely
correct
and,
to
be
frank
with
you,
the
the
tough
part
of
the
report
that
I'm
going
to
bring
to
you
is
do
the
numbers
work
I
know
that
the
bus
industry
tells
you
that
the
payback
is
there
over
the
long
term.
We
will
bring
all
those
numbers
to
you,
there's
currently
on
a
standard,
40-foot
bus,
380,000
dollar
premium
so
on
simple
capital,
Pervis
per
bus.
L
So
what's
the
cost
of
680
for
a
diesel
bus
between
1
and
1.1
million
dollars
from
electric
bus
right
now
now
what
everybody
is
saying
that
the
numbers
will
work
themselves
out
over
the
life
cycle
of
those
15
years?
That's
a
comprehensive
report
that
we're
gonna
bring
back
to
you
and
then
the
other
piece
in
that
same
report
is
alternate
fuels
because,
as
you
all
know,
CNG
is
out
knocking
on
doors
right
now,
asking
you
to
do
what
Calgary
has
done
and
what
Hamilton
has
done
is
converted
to
alternate
fuels.
R
You
know
just
in
our
in
Eastern
Ontario
with
the
the
agriculture
we
have
and
that
sort
of
thing
there
certainly
are
products
that
can
fuel
our
fleet.
If
you
will
that
are
environmentally
friendly,
I'm
glad
that
you're
going
to
be
doing
that
because
I
think
that
you
know
often
we
sit
around
this
table
and
it's
pretty
easy
to
to
drink
the
kool-aid
on
on
a
lot
of
the
things.
R
Not
nothing
is
specific,
but
sometimes
we
get
off
on
a
tangent
and
at
the
beginning
and
the
end
of
it,
we
have
to
understand
whether
we
can
afford
something
and
how
we
can
best,
but
at
all
times
how
we
can
best
serve
people,
and
when
we
have
the
situation
that
we
have
I
mean.
Arguably
their
answer
is
LRT
everywhere
we
need
it
where
we
want
to
go.
That
is
that
is
actually
that
should
be
part
of
your
your
assessment
as
well.
You
should
be
looking
at
in
addition
to
what
we
talked
about
with
costing
in.
R
That
is
what
what
gets
you
to
that
point
faster.
What
keeps
transit
growing,
what
keeps
people
using
transit?
What
makes
the
service
better!
So
people
are
more
likely
to
want
to
invest
more,
etc,
etc.
I
think
that
that's
an
important
piece
as
well
in
in
the
go
forward,
so
you
know
I
I,
think
that
again
it's
it's
great,
that
we
have
this
motion
and
we're
talking
about
investing
in
a
greener
fleet.
I
just
think
that
it's
got
to
be
sensible
for
the
taxpayers
in
this
city
and
serve
them
well.
Thank
you
great.
A
You
mayor,
so
a
number
of
us
are
having
a
conversation
on
a
sidebar
here.
Can
you
help
me
understand?
How
are
we
procuring
the
products
that
we're
going
to
be
piloting
are?
Are
we
using
our
standard
procurement
rules?
Is
this
flexible
enough
for
us
to,
for
example,
ask
every
qualified
producer
out
there
to
lend
us
a
bus?
What
kind
of
procurement
constraints
are
there?
The.
L
Direction
from
Transit
Commission
was
that
you
recall
I.
If
you
wanted
an
accelerator
approach,
I
was
prepared
to
go
to
Nova
bus
and
negotiate
committee
did
not
want
that,
so
it's
we're
using
our
standard
procurement
process.
So
mr.
McDonald
I,
don't
know
if
he's
here
today
is
guiding
us
through.
How
do
we
get
the
buses
as
quickly
as
we
can
following
the
corporate
bylaw
in
terms
of
a
competitive
process?
And
so
yes,
we're
using
the
corporate
procurement
process.
L
It
I
don't
believe
it
does,
because
we're
gonna
spec
out
a
very
high-level
outcome.
We
don't
want
to
get
into
specifying
by
brand
or
by
type
and
so
forth.
We're
gonna
just
basically
say
here's
the
need.
Here's
the
Ottawa
service
need
and
let
the
bidders
bid
and
then
I
will
give
credit
where
credit
is
due
cue
trick
and
kewda
and
other
organizations
have
done
a
lot
of
legwork
on
charge,
time,
recovery,
time
and
so
forth.
There
are
some
buses
that
will
not
meet
your
requirements.
L
I
can
tell
you
that
right
now
in
terms
of
charge,
time
and
so
forth.
So
our
approach
is:
let
it
let
the
market
do
what
it
needs
to
do,
whether
it's
Pro,
Terra,
Nova,
New,
Flyer,
I,
really
don't
care
who
it
is,
and
some
suppliers
can't.
So
you
can't
get
double-deck
electric
buses
in
Canada
right
now,
that's
coming
down
the
road,
we'll
let
the
market
decide
and
that's
wills
mission
is
to
get
us
the
best
lowest
price
meeting
our
requirements
for
the
pilot.
Okay,.
A
I
think
there
is
some
concern
that,
if
we're
using
our
existing
procurement
rules
that
we're
really
focusing
in
on
one
company
but
you're
telling
me
that
that's
not
the
case,
so
that's
just
some
clarification
from
staff
in
terms
of
how
this
motion
is
being
addressed.
Is
this
motion
becoming
a
part
of
our
term
of
council
priorities?
L
L
D
Anything
else
counselor
nope.
Thank
you
very
much
here
so
on
the
suds
Menard
motion
carried
adopt
a
male,
see
the
last
item.
I
have
to
amend
the
term
accounts.
Priorities
is
the
direction
from
counselor
flurry
counselor.
If
you
could
just
identify
where
is
counselor
flurry
there
is
you
can
identify
the
changes
because
there's
a
few
versions.
I
have
right
here.
So
we'll
get
the
right
one
up
on
the
screen
and
you
can
just
outline
what's
changed,
believe
you've
talked
to
staff
and
they're
comfortable
with
this.
Yes,.
B
B
The
city
will
build
or
support
through
funding
and
incentives
this
term
and
that
staff
be
directed
to
consult
with
Ottawa
community
housing
in
the
liaison
housing,
an
homelessness
in
defining
these
measures.
Mister
mayor
just
for
further
context,
as
this
didn't
fit
properly
into
a
committee,
I
did
speak
to
that
at
both
the
CPS
and
the
Planning
Committee.
K
D
K
J
D
Agree
with
that
I
just
ask
you
if
I
believe,
there's
a
consensus
around
most
of
the
table
that
this
is
a
reasonable
direction.
The
staff
agreed
great
okay.
Thank
you
very
much.
Okay,
so
I
have
no
other
emotions.
Does
anyone
else
have
any
other
motions
before
we
go
to
the
main
report
on
the
priorities
council
priorities?
D
Okay,
so
we
have
item
one
proposed:
2019,
2020,
two
terms
account
term
of
council
priorities.
They
pivot
a
proposed
April
amount
out.
It's
considered
a
melody,
sniff
diamond
vent,
and
it
goes
as
follows.
On
page
four
committee
recommendations
as
amended
and
then
further
amended
by
the
motions
that
we
passed
just
now
so
on
the
report
carried
at
update.
Thank
you,
okay.
D
Adopt
a
so
members
should
provide
any
motions
to
the
clerk
for
final
wording
and
proper
placement
in
the
road
map
motion.
We
hope
that
this
has
already
been
done,
but
we
appreciate
your
cooperation
and
from
this
point
forward.
Please
refer
to
the
annotated
road
map
motion
that
we
will
present
to
Council
and
following
approval
of
the
road
map
motion
and
any
budget
related
motions
in
committee
of
the
whole
we'll
proceed
to
the
motion
to
rise
and
report
by
councillors,
Gower
and
lulav
again
and
once
out
of
committee.
D
The
whole
council
will
vote
to
determine
whether
the
2019
budget
has
reported
from
the
committees
of
the
whole
three
to
the
whole
is
adopted
via
the
motion
to
adopt
the
2020
budget
report
by
councillors,
Gower
and
lulav,
and
all
the
sense
and
declarations
of
interest
recorded
during
the
committee
of
the
whole
session
will
be
deemed
to
be
recorded
in
the
council
session.
So
deputy
mayor
de
Roos
has
the
road
map
senator
Bayh
deputy
mayor
lulav.
Please.

So,
whereas
Ottawa
is
one
of
the
largest
Canadian
cities
with
more
than
a
million
people,
whereas
youth
represent
close
to
23
percent
of
Ottawa's
population,
whereas
a
number
of
Ottawa
youth
are
considered
at-risk
and
require
additional
supports
through
neighbourhood
programming
and
resources.
And
whereas
the
city's
services,
such
as
Ottawa
police
services,
have
highlighted,
through
the
last
several
years,
Ottawa's
gang
issues
and
luring
of
at-risk
youth
that
we
now
face
as
a
large
city.
B
Whereas
crime
prevention
Ottawa
does
what
it
can
to
support
communities
and
burning
strategic
discussions
and
investment
to
respond
to
neighbourhood
criminality
and
support
prevention,
whereas
at
risk,
whereas
at-risk
how
ours
for
youth
are,
after
our
after-school
weekend,
long
weekends
and
summer
period
and
whereas
it
is
much
more
expensive
for
our
society
to
pay
for
enforcement,
respond
to
criminal
activity
and
resolve
gang-related
activity
than
to
invest
in
prevention.
Programs
for
at-risk
youth
in
Ottawa.
D
D
But
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
think
we
have
to
vote
right
now
on
a
B
and
C,
so
just
step
back
for
a
minute.
So
is
there
anything
on
a
B
and
C
item?
I
know
on
the
report
carried
okay.
So
then
counselor
flurries
motion
he's
table
that
we
also
have
a
point
of
privilege
by
councilor
side,
so
she's
gonna
remove
herself
from
that
item
and
I
believe
councilor,
hubely,
council,
hubely,
Allen.
D
D
So
counselor
flurry
you're,
okay
with
the
referral,
so
will
that
reduce
the
number
of
people
to
speak
on
this
because
I
think
if
you
got
we're
gonna,
send
it
back
to
staff
to
do
a
review.
So
just
push
your
button.
If
you
counselor
ocean
teary,
do
you
have
any
items?
This
is
going
back
to
staff
for
review,
because
there
is
a
review
under
undertaken.
K
D
D
Okay,
councillor
bleh,
say
to
Mel
C
on
the
referral
motion
by
councillor
flurry,
say
and
by
councillor
King
carried
recreation
culture.
This
is
where
councillor
suds
steps
away
from
the
table,
I
believe
councillor
hubely
as
well
you're
stepping
away
from
the
table.
So
this
is
recreation,
culture
and
facility,
Services,
Department
business
and
technical
support
services,
operating
resource
requirement,
item
three
remaining
2020
CPSC
draft

carried
and
the
2020
community
and
Protective
Services
capital

carried
item.
D
D
O
D
D
D
on
our
weekends.
The
completion
of
major
construction
work
on
elegan,
whereas,
while
major
construction
work
will
be
completed
in
2019,
additional
lane
closures
are
planned
on
and
off
in
2020,
through
the
completion
of
the
project
in
early
fall
to
complete
utility
work,
streetscaping,
sidewalks
and
final
lift

asphalt.
Whereas
continuing
free
evening
and
weekend
parking
at
city

through
the
end
of
October
2020
will
result
an
estimated
125
thousand

foregone
revenue
from
the

therefore
be
resolved.
D
D
R
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
and
thank
you
mr.
Willis,
for
your
help
on
this.
This
came
up
as
a
direction
from
me,
a
question
at
Planning
Committee
on
the
when
we
were
discussing
the
bar
even
downtown,
and
it
really
is
looking
at
how
we
can
maximize
the
use
of
our
money
that
we
are
already
collecting.
We
did
this
just
for
the
people
that
are
new
to
round
the
table.
We
did
this
Peter
human
I
did
a
few
years
back
with
mental
wreck.
Mental
wreck
really
wouldn't
have
opened
for
another
five
years.
R
If
we
hadn't
taken
advantage
of
monies
that
we
had
in
the
bank
were
to
her
only
at
25
percent
of
what
was
necessary,
but
we
knew
by
the
time
it
opened.
We
would
have
the
in
the
hundred
percent
that
we
needed
at
the
time
which
in
fact
had
happened
and
allowed
the
community
to
support
to
benefit
from
it.
We
have
a
very
critical
situation
in
in
bar
Haven
and,
as
you
know,
I've
said
it
a
million
times.
R
I
had
to
steal
money
from
one
of
my
projects:
a
big
project,
Green
Bank
Road
for
strand
herd
Road,
and
now
we
found
the
the
way
forward
using
the
bar
Haven
money
and
mr.
Willis
can
go
into
more
details
in
that
way
in
a
different
way
to
do
the
so
we
can
do
the
design
now
for
the
whole
length
it's
currently
in
two
pieces
from
the
Loblaws
store.
R
Basically,
if
you
know
bar
even
down
to
Barnsdale,
and
currently
there
isn't
money,
that's
being
accrued
for
transit
and
currently
other
than
the
people
in
Stonebridge
that
can
use
the
Bruce
McNab
bridge
as
the
people
in
Half
Moon
Bay
have
no
safe,
really
safe
way
to
cross
the
Jacque
river
on
foot
on
cycle,
one
car
at
a
time,
buses
don't
fit
anyways.
We
found
a
way
to
do
this
and
I.
We
didn't
think
that
we
would
need
to
have
a
motion,
but
mr.
Willis
says
we
do
earth,
maybe
not
mr.
R
S
A
Mr.
mayor,
the
strand,
heard
widening
is
part
of
the
approved
transportation
on
master
plan.
It
is
target,
but
it's
not
a
new
road.
For
that
start,
Green
Bank
excuse
me,
strand,
hurt
and
Green.
Bank
are
part
of
it.
The
advancing
of
the
design
on
strand
on
Green
Bank
does
allow
us
to
address
a
number
busier.
Willis.
A
Excuse
me,
mr.
mayor,
so
the
advancing
of
the
design
on
Green
Bank
allows
us
to
resolve
a
number
of
planning
issues
on
the
adjacent
lands
on
either
side.
We
do
need
that
design
to
understand
what
that
facilities
gonna,
look
like
it
related
to
the
approvals
on
either
side.
So
there
is
a
need
to
move
ahead
with
this
project.
It's
only
the
design,
that's
being
approved
in
advance.
At
this
stage,
much.
A
A
A
D
Decide:
yeah,
okay,
okay,
so
on
the
motion
carried
with
councillor
Minard
dissenting
next
is
councillor:
Brockington
has
a
direction
to
staff
and
I.
Understand,
counsel.
You've
been
working
with
my
office
and
staff
to
put
this
together
if
you'd
like
to
introduce
it
place
under
transportation,
Thank.
Q
You
mr.
mayor
just
is
a
bit
of
a
context
for
colleagues.
There
is
a
pathway
that
connects
the
Oh
train
Muniz
base
station
at
Heron
Road
with
the
Riverside
Park
community.
At
the
Brookfield
roundabout.
There
is
a
what
I
describe
as
a
below
grade
fairly
secluded
pathway
that
connects
the
residential
community
Brookfield
high
school
with
the
station.
Q
We
did
not
have
a
pathway
when
the
station
opened
in
2001
and
eventually
the
city
did
pave
a
pathway,
but
there's
no
lighting,
and
so
this
has
been
a
significant
issue
for
a
number
of
users
for
a
number
of
years
and
by
working
with
staff.
I'm,
not
bringing
a
motion
but
really
direction
and
I
do
want
to
read
that
onto
the
record,
that
infrastructure
services
staff
be
directed
to
review
and
further
refine
the
scope
of
work.
Q
That
would
be
required
to
install
pathway
lighting
on
the
multi-use
pathway
that
runs
from
Heron
Road
Muniz
Bay
Oh
tray
station
southbound
to
the
traffic
circle
at
Brookfield,
Road
and
report
back
via
memo
to
Council
in
advance
of
the
2020
Capitol
close
report,
including
opportunities
to
advance
this
work
through
existing
budgets
for
capital
projects
or
the
stage-two
LRT
project.
Again
it
is
secluded,
it's
dark.
D
A
L
I,
don't
think
it's
in
competition.
This
is
a
critical
link
that
should
have
had
lighting
in
it
and
doesn't,
and
so
either
through
web
closures
or
through
the
LRT
Stage.
Two
project
will
do
that.
We
did
the
same
thing.
Councillor
felidae
will
recall,
with
a
critical
pathway,
link
near
Ottawa
you
and
happy
to
look
at
any
links
councillor
that
you
think
needs
the
street
lighting
funding
either
through
this
process
or
through
our
normal
street
lighting
portfolio.
L
A
D
On
the
direction
agreed
on
the
Transportation
Committee
budget,
as
amended
carried
item,
F
Standing
Committee
on
Environmental
Protection,
water
and
waste
management
rates,
supported
portion
of
the
2020
draft
operating
capital
budget
as
follows:
one
Standing
Committee
environmental
protection,
water
and
waste
management
rate
supported
operating
budget
carried
item;
two
Standing
Committee
on
Environment
Protection
water
and
waste
management
rates,
supported
capital
budget,
carry
item
G
the
Planning
Committee
portion
of
the
2020
councillor
flurry
on
which
one
guy
and
we
go
out
there.
Yet
the
Planning
Committee
portion
of
the
2020
draft
operating
a
capital
budget
councillor
flurry.
D
G
It
was
important
and
aggressive
at
the
same
time,
I've
been
here
this
table
for
nine
years
and
over
the
last
two
mondays,
we
did
progress,
but
we
need
to
have
complete
alignment
between
the
federal,
provincial
and
municipal
investments
when
I
look
at
the
amounts
being
spent
to
keep
people
in
temporary
situation
where
people
are
not
really
housed
well
in
2012,
the
province
froze
us
and
said
throughout
Ontario.
We
want
less
people
in
our
shelters
and
this
applied
to
all
municipalities.
G
G
So
it's
my
philosophy
is
that
if
we
don't
spend
in
the
same
amount
in
a
capital
budget,
as
we
do
in
the
operational
well,
we'll
never
see
a
change
in
the
expenditures
right
now.
We're
still
spending
a
lot
for
shelters,
we're
spending
a
lot
for
motels,
because
our
strategy
is
that
no
one
should
be
on
the
street,
but
I
think
we
should
raise
the
bar
a
bit
so
that
everybody
is
housed.
G
So
I
applaud
what
we
did
in
2019
I
recognize
that
we're
still
investing
again
this
year,
15
million
dollars,
but
for
philosophical
reasons,
I'll
vote
that
part
of
the
budget
to
say
that
we
should
spend
the
same
amount
that
we
spend
in
the
operational
budget.
So
I
appreciate
that
we're
spending
a
bit
and
that
the
other
levels
of
government
I
think
the
other
levels
of
government
should
help
us
in
our
strategy.
I
recognize
Donna's
leadership
who
joined
the
team
and
who's
developing
a
strategic
financial
plan.
G
K
D
I
think
councilor
Brockington,
who
raised
this
issue,
is
an
agreement
with
that
and
staff.
This
gives
you
some
time
to
figure
out
systems
and
so
on,
for
payment
and
and
the
like.
Yes,
mr.
mayor
okay,
so
so
this
is
basically
replace
are
taking
item
I
and
referring
it
back
to
the
general
manager.
Transportation
services
agreed.
Add,
update,
okay,
next
I'm,
sorry,
counselor
Mian!
Yes,.
H
So
I
can
speak
to
this.
Okay
sit
down:
okay,
Thank
You.
Mr.
mayor
yep,
okay,
mr
said
now,
I'd
like
to
speak
to
the
transit
budget,
specifically
the
overtime
budget.
We
are
budgeting
in
2020,
18.2
million
dollars
for
overtime
and
given
what
has
happened
in
recent
years,
I
am
not
very
confident
that
this
will
be
able
to
adhere
to
what
we
are
hopefully
going
to
pay
out
in
overtime.
H
I
know,
there's
one
rule
in
budgeting
is
that
that's
always
don't
go
over
budget,
but
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
over
the
past
several
years
we
have
been
are
we've
been
really
off
target
when
it
comes
to
our
overtime
budget
in
2018
we
spent
twenty
six
point:
nine
million
dollars
in
overtime
at
transit.
That
was
six
point.
Six
million
dollars
more
than
what
was
budgeted
for
in
2018.
I
know
that
2019,
where
we
budgeted
nineteen
point
nine
million.
We
are
far.
H
What
are
we
spent
so
far
far
exceeds
that
amount
and
I'm
told
from
some
transit
drivers
that
don't
be
surprised
to
see
many
of
our
operators
on
the
sunshine
list
this
year.
Having
earned
a
hundred
and
seventy
seven
thousand
dollars,
they've
earned
every
penny
of
it,
but
it's
still
an
awful
lot
of
money
that
we've
spent
in
overtime.
H
So
looking
at
2020
I
know
that
we're
hiring
more
drivers
that
were
hopefully
going
to
that
gap
in
the
number
of
people
who
are
driving
our
buses
and
and
is
going
to
be
filled,
but
there's
still
a
lot
of
ifs
for
me
and
because
of
that
reason,
I
cannot
support
this
part
of
the
budget.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
D
D
D
B
A
D
P
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mr.
mayor.
It's
a
great
pleasure
to
vote
in
favor
of
this
portion
of
the
budget,
especially
since
it
encompasses
a
new
initiative
to
address
systemic
racism
through
the
establishment
of
an
anti-racism
secretariat.
The
creation
of
an
anti-racism
secretariat
will
be
an
independent
standalone
policy
unit
reporting
to
the
highest
level
of
city
staff
and
will
be
a
substantive
manifestation
of
the
city's
of
equity
and
inclusion
lens
built
building
on
the
work
that
the
city
started
in
2015.
P
The
secretariat,
as
proposed,
would
seek
to
identify
and
eliminate
systemic
barriers
for
racialized
people
by
addressing
challenges
concerning
employment,
equity,
equity
and
governance,
housing,
economic
development,
health
outcomes
and
youth
development.
The
Secretariat
will
target
systemic
racism
by
adopting
an
anti
racism
approach
concerning
the
way
our
city
government
develops,
policies
makes
decisions,
evaluates
programs
and
monitors
outcomes.
It
will
work
to
enhance
community
partnerships
to
ensure
we
move
towards
equity
of
opportunity
and
equity
of
outcome
for
all
people
in
Ottawa,
especially
when
they
interface
with
city
services.
P
The
Secretariat
will
build
upon
both
the
city's
existing
equity
and
diversity
policy
and
its
equity
and
inclusion
lens
to
counteract
under-representation.
The
creation
of
the
Secretariat
will
serve
to
develop
a
means
to
measure
the
success
of
these
policies
and
monitor
the
city's
progress
in
terms
of
addressing
under-representation
in
employment
governance,
economic
development,
health
outcomes
for
diverse
communities
in
the
city.
P
The
goal
of
the
Secretariat
will
be
the
target
to
removal
of
systemic
barriers
within
city's
workplaces
and
service
provision
structures
experienced
by
the
most
disadvantaged
communities
in
the
city,
including
people
of
color
and
specific
religious
communities.
The
Secretariat
will
you
is
an
equity
lens
framework
to
address
anti
black
racism,
Islamophobia
anti-semitism
and
discrimination
that
indigenous
people
face.
P
The
development
of
the
Secretariat
was
based
upon
a
specific
request
from
Ottawa's
diverse
black
communities,
in
the
wake
of
increasing
incidents
of
hate
within
this
city
to
create
a
policy
office
with
the
objective
of
eliminating
the
systemic
racism
in
our
operations
and
services.
The
establishment
of
a
Secretariat
demonstrates
concrete
action
to
address
this
racism
and
discrimination,
especially
anti
black
racism.
Considering
the
city's
decision
to
officially
recognize
the
International
decade
of
people
of
African
descent,
I
would
like
to
thank
the
diverse
Ottawa
communities
that
contributed
to
the
creation
of
the
anti
racism
Secretariat.
P
B
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
do
have
I
wanted
to
set
up
a
bit
of
the
the
situation
last
year.
We
rely
heavily
on
this
ticket
system,
which
is
serviced
Ottawa
through
on
one
and
over
the
last
year
because
of
the
volume
of
call
that
continues
to
see
an
increase
I've
gotten
at
different
times
of
the
year
questions
around.
Why
is
it
such
a
lag
time
for
response
and
and
so
on?
B
I
I've
met
with
Nancy
on
it
and
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that,
as
part
of
this
year's
budget,
that
the
team
is
looking
at
ensuring
that
our
input,
because
we
rely
so
heavily
on
service
Ottawa,
it's
the
the
entrance
into
all
of
the
that
take
the
tickets
that
are
created
across
our
city
from
by
law
to
all
the
others.
So
I
want
to
I
just
wanted
to
put
it
for
record
that
you're
aware
that
you're
addressing
it
and
that
you
have
wanted
to
know.
H
I
For
the
question,
yes,
in
fact,
we
have
seen
an
increase
in
call
volumes.
Over
the
past
year,
we
have
been
working
heavily
with
our
partners
and
service
transformation.
We
are
looking
at
opportunities
to
put
more
service
requests
online,
we're
actually
doing
an
analysis
and
20/20
of
what
kind
of
calls
we
are
getting
in.
Why
are
people
calling
us
we're
looking
at
leveraging,
multiple
channels
with
the
chat
bot
and
a
few
other
things
that
service
transformation
is
looking
at
in
order
to
offload
that
we
have
implemented
this
year?
I
The
virtual
callback
for
so
for
those
who
do
not
want
to
wait
on
line
can
select
that
and
can
be
called
back
at
a
later
time
throughout
the
day
to
to
talk
with
the
3-1-1
agent.
So
at
this
point
we
haven't
seen
a
serious
degradation
in
our
service
level
and
we
certainly
have
not
seen
a
reduction
in
our
client
satisfaction
numbers.
So
we
feel
we're
good
at
this
point.
Could.
I
N
A
D
S
D
Yeah,
this
is
not
something
I'm
not
keen
on,
but
I
don't
mind
having
staff
look
at
it.
I.
Just
think
that
it
is,
we
shouldn't
be
telling
each
other
how
to
hold
our
budget
meetings
if
I
want
to
have
a
participatory
budget
meeting
in
my
ward
or
you
want
to
have
a
phone
in.
You
know
that's
up
to
the
individual
councillors.
I
think
that's
better
reflective,
but
you
know
our
staff
I,
don't
know
if
who
would
be
doing
the
work
on
this?
Do
we
have
the
time
to
do
this?
The
clerk
mr.
mayor.
I
A
To
your
point,
mr.
Merrick,
if
we're
gonna
be
told
how
to
do
budget
meetings,
then
why
doesn't
the
finance
department
just
take
over
doing
budget
meetings
like
used
to
happen
like
I'm,
just
saying
this
is
where
this
is
going
so
I
think
it
really
should
be
a
debate
about
either
keeping
councillor
Lloyd
budget
meetings
or
having
corporate
budget
meetings
like
we
used
to.
R
I
mean
I,
as
you
said
mayor
you.
If
the
staff
have
time
you
don't
have
a
problem
and
I
don't
have
a
problem.
Councilman
art
I
just
want
to
point
out,
though,
that
over
the
years,
even
just
since
amalgamation,
but
you
know
I-
do
go
back
to
one
term
at
Nepean.
We
have
evolved
to
where
we
are
today,
and
many
parts
of
our
city
are
not
as
engaged
so.
R
Therefore
getting
having
them
come
back
and
say
something
I,
don't
think
it
would
ever
be
appropriate
to
go
back
to
a
system
that
we
did
have
early
on
that
had
a
schedule
we're
gonna
meet
here.
We're
gonna
meet
here.
We're
gonna
meet
here
meet
here,
because
what
we
found
is,
even
in
the
first
days
after
amalgamation,
when
many
of
our
municipalities
hated
being
forced
into
it.
Nepean
included.
R
We
had
at
most
150
people
turned
out
at
the
nepean
sportsplex
this
year
we
had
a
joint
one
at
the
Walter
Baker
with
3
of
us,
and
there
was
maybe
20
24.
Ok
before
representatives
of
a
hundred
and
forty
thousand
people,
we've
tried
online
counselor,
hubely
and
I
have
have
tried
that
probably
others
have
in
a
combination.
It
just
is.
R
D
A
Mayor
I'm,
looking
forward
if
this
motion
goes
through
to
getting
the
ground
and
research
from
our
professional
staff
in
terms
of
community
engagement,
there
are
a
lot
of
really
compelling
reasons
to
think
the
participatory
budgeting
could
help
us
craft
budgets
that
better
reflect
the
priorities
that
Ottawa
residents
have
as
a
city
councilor
with
the
staff
of
four
people
who
are
overworked
as
it
is
I,
don't
have
the
time
to
undertake
that
research
and
try
to
figure
out.
You
know
what
are
the
best
models
for
doing
this
kind
of
process.
A
What
are
some
of
the
backend
savings
that
could
be
achieved
by
buying
the
right
software
to
facilitate
it?
I,
don't
see
this
as
telling
us
what
to
do
so
much
as
adding
to
the
toolkit
that
we
have
as
counselors
should
we
choose
to
avail
ourselves
of
them,
so
I
will
be
supporting
councilor
Menards
motion
thanks
man,
councillor.
K
You
thank
you,
mister
man
and
my
question
to
the
treasurer.
Didn't
we
change
the
model
few
years
ago,
when
we
had
a
public
meeting
consultation
and
we
agree
based
on
a
public
feedback,
they
would
like
to
have
the
meeting
before
the
draft
budget
and
that's
possible.
We
start
to
do
those
public
meeting
prior
to
to
the
drop
you're.
I
K
K
K
We
saw
a
little
gel
sir
yeah,
because
most
people
are
happy
with
their
with
the
budget.
Mr.
mayor
I'm
not
sure
the
changes
it's
going
to
change
again,
so
we
changed
a
few
years
ago.
We
didn't
see
a
moral
participation
and
now
changing
again
I'm,
not
sure
that
I
would
support
this.
So
I'm
not
gonna
support
that
I,
encourage
my
colleagues
not
to
vote
for
that
motion.
K
I
know
councilman
art
still
has
wrap
up,
so
perhaps
he
can
respond
to
this
during
wrap-up.
But
as
I
read
the
motion,
if
it's
carried
to
conclusion,
nobody's
going
to
come
back
and
tell
us
how
to
do
it,
they're
just
going
to
put
another
tool
in
our
toolbox
for
consideration
if
we
want
to
go
ahead
with
it.
I
wouldn't
support
this.
K
If
we
were
downloading
the
staff
to
come
back
and
say
you
must
budget
in
the
following
fashion,
going
forward,
I,
don't
I,
don't
read
the
motion
that
way
and
maybe
councilman
art
can
expand
on
that
during
his
wrap-up.
But
if
it's
simply
to
get
information,
give
us
another
tool
in
our
toolbox
for
consideration
going
forward.
I
I
see
no
reason
not
to
support
it.
D
Maybe
it
counts
from
anyone
else
to
speak
on
this
before
we
go
to
wrap
up
by
Councilman
art.
If
I
could
also
ask
it,
it
seems
that
you
know
what
there's
something
called
participatory
budgeting.
Maybe
you
can
explain
what
it
is,
because
if
it's
out
there
I'm
not
sure
why
we
need
staff
to
come
and
tell
us
what
it
is.
D
S
It's
reflective
of
this
conversation
because
I
want
to
be
clear:
we're
not
going
back
to
the
old
days.
People
can
still
have
meetings
as
they
like,
and
it
is
what
councilor
egg
you
I
had
mentioned
to
bring
a
tool
back,
but
participatory
budgeting
is
essentially
you
take
a
small
portion
of
your
budget
and
you
allow
citizens
more
say
over
how
that
budget
is
allocated.
It
still
comes
back
to
Council
for
approval,
but
you
allow
citizens
to
come
in
and
engage
that
way.
S
So
when
you
empower
folks
that
way,
they
usually
show
up
more
because
they
know
they're
gonna
have
an
effect
on
it.
So
I
think
to
the
points
are
being
made
here.
Certainly
not
wanting
to
go
back
to
the
old
way
of
doing
things
is
another
tool
in
our
in
our
toolbox.
Mayor
I
also
just
want
to
make
clear
that
you
know.
Staff
are
coming
up
with
with
these
ideas
there.
It's
not
a
one
size
fits
all
for
all
wards,
so
I'm.
I
Aware
of
this
concept,
mr.
mayor
and
we
know,
a
couple
of
municipalities
are
trying
it
right
now,
but
we
also
know
councillors
already
have
budgets,
you
have
your
award
traffic-calming,
you
have
your
cash
in
lieu
of
parkland,
you
have
and
you'll
now,
with
the
passing
of
the
strategic
plan.
You'll
have
a
hundred
thousand
for
recreation
facility
upgrades
which
I
know
councillors,
go
out
there
and
discuss
with
their
communities
and
basically
implement
what
the
communities
want.
So
in
a
way
we
already
are
doing
participatory
budgeting.
Mr.
mayor
yeah.
D
We
have
a
new
treasurer
coming
on
board.
She'll
have
a
lot
on
her
plate,
and
if
anyone
wants
to
do
participatory
budgeting,
there's
nothing
that
stops
them
right
now,
just
do
it
yourself.
We
don't
need
to
have
the
City
Council
tell
you
how
to
operate
your
budget
so
yeas
and
nays
and
roll
call.
Please.
A
K
I
D
The
mayor
in
the
chair,
right
to
the
minister
on
a
b
c
and
d,
carry
item
10,
as
recommended
requested
the
mayor
to
write
to
the
minister
on
a
B
and
a
and
be
carried
so.
Does
anyone
wish
to
dissent
on
any
other
aspect,
while
we're
in
committee
of
the
whole
No
so
councillors
our
motion
to
rise
and
report?
Please.
D
K
You
mr.
mayor,
just
one
ask
one
question
of
the
treasure:
if
I
may,
on
the
budget
as
a
whole,
the
state
of
the
reserves
I
ask
you
this.
Every
year
we
put
in
more
in
than
we're
taking
out,
because
I
know
the
tax
Stabilization
Fund
you've
mentioned
it's
at
18.
It
should
be
at
I,
believe
34,
so
that
cookie
jar
is
getting
empty.
What's
the
other
ones,
what's
the
status
of
the
other
ones
in
general
terms,
in.
I
General
terms,
you
are
my
concern:
only
right
now
is
with
transit,
but
I
think
that
might
change
with
their
year-end
position
and
it's
their
operating
reserve
balance,
which
is
it's
a
1.5
million
and
it
probably
should
be
closer
to
the
six
or
seven
your
tax
stabilization
I'm,
although
that
is
your
target
and
we
were
hoping
to
get
there
by
2020
I'm,
not
too
concerned.
If
you
don't
get
there
as
quickly
as
you
wanted.
I
As
long
as
we
are
moving
in
that
direction,
and
we
are
it's
going
up
by
two
million
we're
projecting
it
to
go
up
by
two
million
in
2020.
So
and
as
long
as
you
have
the
flexibility
which
I
think
we
still
do
within
the
budget
to
absorb
a
lot
of
the
pressures
that
we
would
use
the
tax
stabilization
reserve
for
to
cover
deficits
at
the
end
of
the
year.
If
we
can
absorb
those
within
the
rest
of
the
budget,
I
think
you're.
Okay,
your
capital
reserves
are
where
they
should
be.
I
K
K
Mr.
mayor
I
would
all
my
colleagues
to
support
the
budget
as
a
whole
if
for
no
other
reason
than
the
thanked
Marian
for
all
the
work
that
she's
done
all
these
years,
guiding
us
through
very
troubled
economic
waters,
making
everything
in
easy,
understandable,
English,
making
everything
very
direct
and
to-the-point
and
I
think
it
would
be
if
for
no
other
reason
befitting
wages.
They.
Thank
you
a
lot
of
hard
work
when,
in
this
budget,
it's
a
good
budget,
it's
a
solid
budget
and-
and
thank
you
very
much
for
years
of
service
paid.
M
I
I
think
it's
roughly.
We
hear
a
lot
from
from
the
public,
sometimes
that
we
pass
things
too
quickly
around
this
council
table
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
point
for
the
many
people
who
listen
into
these
committee
meetings
that
this
is
not
a
month-long
process.
This
is
a
process.
You
know
the
next
budget
will
start
tomorrow.
Once
we
pass
this
and
I
think
it's
a
reflection
of
all
the
meetings
that
we
have
throughout
the
year.
It's
a
reflection
of
staffs
work
to
listen
to
councillors
and
listen
to
the
public
and
I.
M
Think
today
is
a
good
example
of
councillors
around
this
table,
collaborating
and
coming
up
with
a
very
balanced
and
fair
budget
that
allows
us
to
address
a
lot
of
issues
in
the
city.
We
haven't
solved
it
all,
but
I'm
really
pleased
with
how
this
year's
budget
process
what
and
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
Q
You,
your
worship,
I
too,
will
be
supporting
the
overall
city
budget
I.
Think
it's
very
good
at
trying
to
prioritize
and
direct
resources
to
many
areas
in
the
budget,
in
particular
infrastructure
housing,
snow
operations,
roads
I
know
when
we
enter
the
3%
tax
property
tax
range
people
start
to
get
nervous,
but
in
particular
that
1%
is
is
sweater
for
infrastructure
purposes
is
very
good.
Q
It
helps
us
explain
to
residents
specifically
where
that
money's
going
one
thing
that
came
up
at
our
budget,
particularly
in
the
south
in
the
budget,
open
houses
that
we
had
and
then
speaking
to
my
own
residents
and
something
I
have
underscored
here.
Many
times
is
the
continuous
need
for
the
city
manager
and
our
staff
to
remind
all
the
good
work
that
happens
throughout
the
year
for
savings
for
efficiencies.
The
continuous
financial
refinement
that's
going
on,
because
there
are
folks
who
thinks
were
just
spending
money
and
we're
not
looking
at
the
cost
side
and
I
know.
Q
That's
not
the
reality
to
your
credit
and
I
just
think.
It
helps
the
corporation
staff
and
counselors
members
of
council
when
we're
talking
about
the
budget
to
remind
residents
all
the
work
that
you
are
doing
in
that
regard.
So
I
don't
know
if
the
city
manager
wants
to
come
and
I
want
to
give
you
that
opportunity.
But
could
future
budgets,
when
they're
in
draft
form
released,
include
a
section
on
what
has
happened
throughout
the
year
on
cost
savings?.
C
Mr.
mayor,
thank
you
to
the
counselor
for
that
because,
as
I
previously
stated
to
council,
you
know
we
always
start
the
budget
year
when
the
department
pressures
come
in
we're
about
50
million
dollars
over
the
targets
set
by
council,
and
we
have
to
find
that
$50
to
get
back
in
balance
and
and
we're
very
innovative.
Our
teams,
our
departmental
teams,
work
hard
to
find
solutions.
Question
contracts,
question
positions,
reorge
things
do
all
kinds
of
all
kinds
of
things,
but
the
biggest
indicator
that
I
would
tell
you
is
that
you
know
from
2010
to
2018.
C
We
actually
had
four
less
FTEs
in
the
corporation
than
when
we
started
in
2010,
yet
the
city
grew.
We
hit
1
million
population
this
past
year.
In
fact,
when
you
measure
our
FTE
count
as
a
function
of
the
as
a
percentage
of
100,000
population,
we
actually
decreased
our
FTS
by
10%
and
absorb
the
entire
growth
has
happened.
C
That
doesn't
happen
without
efficiencies
with
productivity
gains,
without
looking
how
we
do
things
technology
and
that's
a
credit
to
the
team
and
to
Council
for
supporting
many
of
those
things
that
come
through
that
you
may
not
connect
the
dots
the
public
might
not,
but
they
come
through
committee.
Many
of
the
initiatives
we
bring
to
to
get
more
efficient
so
that
never
stops
for
us
and
I'm.
Thank
you
for
phrenology
and
I
am
prepared
to
bring
forward
and
future
budgets.
Q
Strongly
support
that
I
think
it's
a
very
good
to
make
the
budget
I
guess
hole
is
to
allow
you
to
illustrate
the
good
work
that
you
are
doing
in
that
regard.
We
were
in
the
two-percent
range,
the
last
term,
RIF
council,
we've
now
come
in
the
three
percent
range
I
do
not
want
anyone
to
think
we're
going
to
four
or
higher
I
want
three
to
be
the
absolute
maximum
and
part
of
that
narrative
is
we're
playing
catch-up
with
some
pockets,
particularly
infrastructure.
Q
That
I
don't
think
anyone
disagrees,
needs
those
resources,
but
at
the
same
time
this
corporation
continues
to
do
good
work
to
find
those
savings,
so
I
will
be
supporting
the
budget
and
just
for
clarification
in
committee,
the
whole
I
voted
against
the
Transit
Commission
operating
budget.
Does
that
vote
carry
over
to
now
or
do
I
have
to.
D
So
today,
colleagues
is
an
important
milestone
as
members
of
council.
Consider
the
2020
budget
and
I
want
to
thank
all
members
of
council
for
their
involvement
and
their
productive
exchange
of
ideas
and
compromises
over
the
course,
as
councilor
Gower
said
over
a
long
period
of
time.
It's
really
a
12-month
cycle.
I
want
to
also
thank
city
manager,
Steve
Cadillac,
our
treasurer
Marian
Similac
and
my
own
staff.
In
the
mayor's
office,
we
worked
collaboratively
to
find
ways
to
fund
some
of
the
projects
that
you
feel
are
important
in
your
community
or
citywide.
D
We
listen
to
residents
through
public
consultation,
online
feedback
and
through
the
committee
structure.
As
we
all
know,
our
city
is
large,
diverse
and
growing
very
rapidly.
That
means
we'll
always
be
a
diversity
of
opinions
on
how
we
should
spend
the
dollars
and
trust
it
to
us
by
Ottawa
taxpayers
and
by
our
provincial
and
federal
counterparts,
and
there
will
always
be
a
great
diversity
of
demands
on
our
limited
municipal
resources,
news
level
and
graafian
in
media.
We.
D
Our
city's
budget
requires
both
compromise
and
the
ability
to
make
hard
decisions.
The
2020
budget
increases
investments
in
public
transit,
road
maintenance
and
affordable
housing.
Budget
2020
delivers
on
key
commitments,
including
the
need
for
us
to
focus
even
more
on
our
core
municipal
infrastructure
in
the
east
and
the
west,
and
the
central
core
and
the
south
end
we're
reducing
our
infrastructure
gap
by
boosting
our
spending
on
roads,
sidewalks
and
key
municipal
infrastructure
by
20
million
dollars.
News
or
menthol
knows
I
visited.
D
K
D
Our
total
investments
to
maintain
and
renew
assets
like
roads,
sidewalks,
cycling
tracks
and
facilities
is
set
to
increase
to
151
million
dollars,
invest
in
2020
an
increase
of
18%
over
2019
and
in
2020
the
road
resurfacing
budget,
including
rural
road
upgrades
and
Road
a
surface
preservation.
Treatments
is
set
to
increase
to
51
million
dollars
up
from
the
yearly
average
of
thirty
five
point.
Five
million
over
the
previous
term
of
counsel
and
for
the
rural
communities
of
Ottawa
43
million
dollars
in
infrastructure
is
budgeted
for
2020
up
from
a
four-year
average
of
39
point
7
million.
D
D
More
than
90
kilometers
from
east
to
west
and
has
one
of
the
largest
municipal
transportation
networks
in
Canada,
so
maintaining
our
network
is
an
expensive
button's,
essential
investment
in
response
to
severe
winter
weather
challenges.
A
seven
point:
seven
percent
increase
in
winter
operations
budget
is
proposed,
adding
5.6
million
to
that
budget
and
bringing
the
total
to
seventy
eight
point:
three
million,
with
a
special
greater
emphasis
on
sidewalks.
Where
we
heard
loud
and
clear
from
you
and
your
residents,
we
have
to
do
better.
The
budget
adds
15
million
to
the
city's
affordable
housing
investment.
K
D
And
invite
the
province
and
the
Government
of
Canada
to
work
with
us
to
leverage
this
historical
level
of
investment
and
to
reduce
homelessness
in
our
city
draft
budget
2020
includes
31
million
dollars
to
maintain
funding
for
local
agencies,
do
all
to
offer
housing
and
homelessness
supports
and
services.
The
community
funding
program
will
benefit
from
a
total
investment
of
twenty
four
point:
five
million
dollars
for
community
not-for-profit
social
service
providers,
who
deliver
valuable
services
to
residents
facing
the
greatest
need
across
the
city,
an
increase
of
almost
a
half
million
dollars.
D
D
To
LRT
from
all
areas
of
the
city,
a
priority
raised
by
almost
every
member
of
council
and
we've
certainly
heard
from
our
residents
and
passengers.
This
budget
includes
9.5
million
to
enhance
bus
transit
connectivity
with
Confederation
Line
stations.
Improved
reliability,
reduce,
wait
times,
expand
service
into
growth
areas
and
improve
para
Transpo.
Service
budget
2020
also
includes
the
operating
cost
for
the
introduction
for
the
first
time
of
electric
buses
at
OC
Transpo
to
further
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
D
The
city's
investment
in
2020
will
include
eight
hundred
and
seventeen
million
dollars
for
the
Stage
two
expansion
of
light
rail,
which
is,
we
all
know,
will
go
farther
east
west
and
south
Stage
two
will
add
44
kilometres
and
24
new
stations
to
ottawa's
rail
system,
and
we
continue
to
raise
with
the
federal
and
provincial
government
our
support
and
our
desire
to
secure
their
support
for
LRT
phase
3.
That
will
serve
the
people
of
the
fastest-growing
parts
of
the
city,
canada,
Statesville
and
bar
haven,
new

We're.
D
Of
reducing
GHG
s
in
our
history,
we're
strengthening
our
commitment
to
core
services
with
30
additional
police
officers
and
14
paramedic
first
line
responders.
The
proposed
budget
also
includes
investments
in
the
environment,
including
seventeen
point.
Five
million
dollars
to
rehabilitate
the
city's
wastewater
treatment
plant.
We'll
also
invest
three
million
to
improve
energy
efficiency
at
city
buildings,
three
million
to
rehabilitate
water
pumping
stations
and
two
million
for
enhanced
corrosion
control
at
the

water
purification
plants.

Counselors
will
also
continue
to
guide
spending
on
fifty
thousand
dollars
of
traffic
calming
projects
for
each
Ward
based
on
community
needs,
I'm
proud
to
have
worked
closely
with
the
city,
manager's
office,
the
city,
treasurer
and
all
of
members
of
council
to
bring
in
a
budget
that
will
cap
municipal
taxes
at
three
percent.
The
proposed
tax
change
amounts
to
nine
dollars
per
month
for
an
average
urban
home
and
less
for
a
rural
home.
D
2020
proposal,
based
on
counsels,
clear
guidance
from
a
few
months
ago,
I
believe
that
budget
2020
strikes
the
right
balance
between
keeping
our
city,
affordable
caring
for
our
most
vulnerable
residents,
improving
the
conditions
of
a
road
sidewalks
and
pathways,
delivering
a
sustainable
infrastructure
plan
and
maintaining
core
services
and
programs
and
I'm
confident
that
budget
2020
positions
Ottawa
for
continued
growth,
prosperity
and
livability.
The

D
Pause
to
once
again
thank
our
exceptionally
competent
and
dedicated
Treasurer
and
general
manager,
Financial
Services
Marian,
similar
Marian,
your
patience,
persistence
and
dedication
to
the
budget
process
and
the
many
budgets
that
precede.
It
is
greatly
appreciated
by
all
of
us
on
council.
Your
insight
and
collaborative
approach
will
be
greatly
missed,
going
forward
and
I.
Thank
you
again
for
a
job
very,
very
well
done.
I
I
D
M
D
R
You
I'm
sure
that
if
any
of
you
were
to
really
think
hard
about
it,
you
would
remember
back
before
the
summer
break,
where
we
had
had
motion
for
part
lot
control.
This
happens
when
plans.
The
subdivision
are
approved
during
a
time
when
councils
not
going
to
be
sitting
and
some
people
actually
close
on
their
properties
and
need
to
move
in,
and
so
what
we
did
in
the
summer
is.
We
have
put
together
a
little
sponsor
group
that
included
like
five
people.
R
Perhaps
a
couple
I
think
it
was
councilor
DeRoos,
a
couple
of
other
councillors
staff
and
your
self
counselor
to
our.
What
we're
suggesting
that
we
do
now,
there's
going
to
be
a
couple
that
we
know
of
two
of
which
are
in
my
ward,
during
the
time
frame
between
now
and
the
end
of
January
that
miss
Snowden,
who
is
our
Director
of
Planning,
has
offered
she
said
she
will
be
here
so
to
have
her
do
the
approval
in
conjunction
with
whomever
the
counsellor
is
that's
involved,
so
the
key
thing
is,
would
be
the
counselor.
R
D
D
O
You
very
much,
whereas
at
its
meeting
of
September
25th
2019
City
Council
considered
motion
23
with
respect
to
councillor
Ellie's
request
for
an
unauthorized,
sir
and
authorised
leave
of
absence,
and
whereas

approved
the
following
portions
of
motion,

slash
three.
Be
it
further
resolved
that
concurrence
under
delegation
of
authority
by
law
for
Ward
8
matters
may
be
given
by
councillors,
hubely
and
Moffat.
That
would
be
me
and
him,
be
it
further
resolved
that
membership
and
quorum
of
the
planning
committee
bill.
O
Harris
community
subcommittee
be
temporarily
reduced
by
one
until
such
time
as
councillor
Charlie
returns
to
take
a
seat
on
these
committees.
Ambient
further
resolved
that
council
delegates
to
the
seat,
clerk
and
manager
of
legislative
services,
the
interim
authority
to
approve
the
payment
of
cost
from
Ward,
a
Budget
Office
budget
arriving
from
routine
bills
and
in
consultation
with
the
ward
8
office
staff
and
there's
hubely
and
Moffat
for
annual
seasonal
events,
where
a
past
practice
for
such
costs
being
paid
can
be
established.
O
If
there
are
sufficient
funds
within
the
office
budget
to
do
so
and
where
as
counts,
whereas
in
addition
to
attending
the
November
6
2010
City
Council,
meeting
councilor
X
rally
has
resumed
a
number
of
his
duties
as
city
councilor,
including
approving
office
expenses,
attending
events
in
college
ward
and
providing
comments
to
staff
on
delegated
authority
matters
as
well
as
attending
the
meeting.
Today,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
council,
rescind
the
three
resolutions
of
motion
20/3
that
were
approved
on
September
5th
20
nected
immediately.
O
I
do
want
to
add
that
in
the
last
three
months,
I
have
made
commitments
to
certain
groups.
I
will
keep
those
commitments
we
I
met
with
several
community
associations
and
provided
assurances
that
I
would
look
into
certain
things
and
deal
with
certain
things.
I
will
continue
to
do
that
on
behalf
of
those
groups
that
I
made
commitments
to
because
I
don't
want
to
leave
them
stranded,
but
we
won't
be
taking
on
anything
new
Thanks
great.

cities
and
so
acknowledged.
The

of

further
resolved
that
Ottawa
City
Council
encourages
the

to
collaborate
with
the
community
and
the
business
community
to
find
strategies
and
solutions.
Sir
to
the
WHA
maintains
his
presence
in
Ottawa
and
his
coverage
of
the
francophone
community
in
Ontario.
N
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
won't
read
out
the
entire
motion
that,
since
it's
a
notice
but
just
a
few
comments,
I'll
introduce
it.
But
I
do
want
to
start
by
acknowledging
the
work
of
our
staff,
our
housing
staff
and
the
work
that
they've
been
doing
in
the
community
with
the
housing
sector
to
to
build
a
plan
that
is
required
for
us
to
ensure.
D
N
N
The
overall
rate
of
emergency
shelter
use
has
increased
by
six
point:
five
percent
in
the
last
year
to
a
total
of
seven
thousand
nine
hundred
and
thirty-seven
individuals
accessing
emergency
shelters
in
the
city,
with
the
increase
driven
by
a
significant
rise
in
the
number
of
women
and
families
using
shelters
in
terms
of
chronic
and
episodic
homelessness.
Significant
increases
were
recorded
among
single
man
and
amongst
families,
whereas,
according
to
census,
data
indigenous
people
account
for
2.5
percent
of
Ottawa's
population.
N
Yet
25
percent
of
people
experiencing
homelessness
in
Ottawa
identified
as
indigenous
and
whereas
people
living
in
shelters
are
part
of
the
crisis
and
not
the
solution,
and
whereas
it
is
estimated
that
approximately
92
people
are
sleeping
outside
in
Ottawa.
And
whereas,
since
April
1st
of
this
year,
698
women
and
their
children
who
fled
domestic
violence
were
turned
away
from
VAW
shelters,
with
few
options
for
safe
shelter,
often
returning
to
unsafe
circumstances.
N
And
whereas
these
statistics
clearly
indicate
that
our
current
plan
and
federal
and
provincial
funding
levels
are
not
sufficient
to
provide
adequate
housing
for
all
or
to
eliminate
chronic
homelessness
in
our
city.
And
whereas
the
province
through
the
Housing
Services
Act
requires
the
city
to
submit
an
updated
10-year
housing
and
homelessness
plan
by
December
31st
2019.
That
reflects
the
needs
and
priorities
of
the
community.
N
And
whereas
the
success
of
the
plan
is
dependent
on
a
commitment
of
sustained
and
increased
funding
from
all
levels
of
government
to
address
the
issues
of
Housing
and
security
and
homelessness
in
Ottawa.
And
whereas
the
needs
of
the
community
far
outweigh
the
city's
available
resources
and
funding
required
to
effectively
address
this
issue
and
desperately
needs
the
support
of
both
the
provincial
and
federal
government's.
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
City
of
Ottawa
officially
declare
an
affordable
housing
and
homelessness
emergency.
N
Acknowledging
that
the
City
of
Ottawa
does
not
possess
the
resources
to
manage
this
crisis
alone,
and
that
council
must
call
on
the
provincial
and
federal
governments
to
assist
us
by
providing
the
city
with
an
immediate
increase
in
emergency
funding
for
housing.
Housing
supports
and
housing
allowances,
as
well
as
a
long-term
financial
plan
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
community
and
be
it
FURTHER.
N
Resolved
that,
through
the
update
to
our
ten-year
housing
and
homeless
plan
staff
provides
city
council
was
what
it
will
take
to
implement
more
aggressive
targets
and
a
framework
for
action
and
in
order
to
preserve
and
increase
the
affordable
housing
supply.
Increase
access
to
a
hub
to
housing,
prevent
the
occurrence
of
homelessness
and
eliminate
by
100%
chronic
homelessness
by
2024,
with
a
special
emphasis
on
indigenous
homelessness
and
sure
people
are
supported
to
achieve
housing,
stability
and
long
term.

you

stop.
Please
provide
the
following
information
in
writing
before
the
next
council
meeting
on
January
29th.
First
of
all,
why
the
Cub
links
applications
are
being
processed
by
city
staff?
Well,
the
40%
agreement
is
before
the
courts,
the
second
in
the
opinion
of
legal
and
planning
staff.
What
would
happen
if
city
staff
did
not
process
the
applications
until
the
legal
process
ends?
E
Third,
does
the
120-day
period
in
respect
of
the
application
for
draft
plan
approval
allow
sufficient
time
for
the
proper
analysis,
assessment
and
recommendations
by
staff
with
respect
to
the
matters
required
to
be
examined
under
the
Planning
Act?
And
lastly,
what
happens
if
there
is
no
decision
made
in
the
90
days
or
120
days
as
set
out
in
the
planning
act
and
the
applicant
appeals?
Thank
you.
Okay,.
A
Office
in
order
to
set
the
conditions
to
ensure
that
we
can
achieve
that
equity
at
some
point
in
time.
Realizing
also
that
right
now
and
great
a
great
deal
of
investment
is
required,
impair
Transpo
in
order
to
set
the
conditions
to
achieve
that
equity.
We're
looking
to
put
a
number
on
this,
so
my
inquiry.
C
Is
where
70%
of
fair
Transpo
users
are
seniors?
What
level
of
capital
and
operational
investment
would
be
required
in
Para
Transpo
in
order
to
bring
it
to
a
level
of
service
that
could
support
the
extension
of
free
transit
for
seniors
twice
a
week
it
has
enjoyed
by
OC
Transpo
customers
without
impeding
capacity
for
the
other
30%.
