Thank
you
very
much
mr.
mayor
I'm
very
proud.
Please
join
me
in
a
warm
welcome
for
the
angel,
a
choir
from
john
paul
ii
catholic
school
in
Pineview,
under
the
direction
of
miss
Featherston.
If
this
angel
a
choir,
looks
familiar
it's
because
they
opened
up
the
67
scheme
last
sunday,
so
they're
a
serious
seasoned
group
of
singers.
E
C
Well,
what
a
Rhett,
a
wonderful
rendition
of
Oh
Canada
from
John
Paul,
the
second
school
in
counselor,
Tierney's
ward!
Thank
you
very,
very
much
for
singing
for
us
today
in
our
last
meeting
of
2013
at
this
time
in
our
agenda,
it's
our
opportunity
to
honor
an
individual
with
the
mayor
city
builder
award
and
I'd.
Ask
Karen
Secord
to
join
me
at
the
front.
Please,
along
with
her
city,
councilor
Kathryn
harms
welcome
Miss
seacord.
C
To
have
food
banks
with
generous
donors
in
Ottawa,
but
fresh
food
can
be
difficult
to
come
by
for
those
who
you
need
the
food
bank
services,
but
thanks
to
mr.
seacord,
those
who
visit
the
food
bank
know
that
they
can
get
not
just
the
ingredients
for
a
meal,
but
a
nutritious
one.
If
her
work
stopped
at
promoting
the
food
banking
and
increasing
the
number
of
people
who
donate
to
it,
Miss
seacord
would
be
commendable,
but
she
reaches
out
further
to
actively
engage
those
for
whom
healthy
nutritional
choices
are
not
easy
to
come
by.
C
To
that
end,
she's
gotten
several
local
chefs
to
provide
cooking
classes
and
I
had
the
opportunity
to
attend
one
of
those
with
councillor
Homs
to
those
at
the
nearby
shelters
so
that
they
can
learn
how
to
make
healthy
but
inexpensive,
crock-pot
meals
and
she's
produced
some
of
the
local
Prout
or
she
has
used
some
of
the
local
produce
donations
to
provide
snacks
for
the
local
after-school
program
that
is
largely
populated
by
children
who
live
in
the
shelter
but
MC
called
hey.
You
see
a
gal
ma.
A
C
Snack
at
all,
they
now
have
an
apple
or
an
orange
each
day
because
of
miss
C
cords
dogged
determination
to
instill
the
value
of
nutrition.
These
are.
There
are
other
examples
of
mr.
C
cords
willingness
to
help
those
in
need,
such
as
the
Christmas
baking
classes,
she
organized
for
those
who
use
the
Food
Bank,
but
they're,
just
that
more
evidence
of
Miss
seekers,
generous
spirit
and
are
standing
as
an
invaluable
asset
to
her
community
and
somebody
deserving
of
our
thanks,
Miss
seacord.
C
Congratulations
on
receiving
this
city
builder
award
and
I
want
to
thank
also
the
students
from
Hilson
school
who
brought
all
sorts
of
donations
for
the
the
food
center
there
right
here
and
councillor.
Hobbs
help
supplement
that
as
well,
what
an
appropriate
time
as
you're
being
recognized
for
the
work
you
do
with
the
food
bank
that
we
have
these
young
people
showing
their
generosity
of
spirit
and
their
sense
of
giving
at
this
very
special
time
of
the
year.
Congratulations
and
keep
up
the
great
work.
F
Thank
you
very,
very
much.
It's
it's
kind
of
bittersweet
to
be
standing
here
today
when
yesterday
I
stood
at
a
food
bank
that
had
more
people
coming
in
hungry
than
we've
ever
seen
in
27
years.
So
this
isn't
really
a
celebration,
because
it's
something
that
we
we
all
need
to
look
at
that
food
banks
are
not
the
solution
to
this
problem.
The
solution
of
this
problem
probably
sits
around
this
table
here.
So
I
have
a
quote.
F
Yesterday
was
the
International
Day
of
human
rights
and,
of
course,
having
food,
real
food,
not
things
in
boxes
or
cans,
but
real
food
is
a
human
right
and
Nelson
Mandela
I'm
gonna
quote
him.
If
you
don't
mind,
if
you
can
hang
with
me
for
a
minute,
overcoming
poverty
is
not
a
task
of
charity.
It
is
an
act
of
justice
like
slavery
and
apartheid.
Poverty
is
not
natural,
it
is
man-made
and
it
can
be
overcome
and
eradicated
by
the
actions
of
human
beings.
F
Sometimes
it
falls
on
a
generation
to
be
great,
you
can
be
that
generation,
let
your
greatness
blossom.
So
what
I
would
challenge
all
of
you
to
do,
and
especially
the
City
Council's
councillors
here,
is
to
go
to
your
local
food
bank
and
don't
put
cans
on
the
shelf
but
sit
and
talk
to
those
people
who
are
using
the
food
bank.
F
C
Thank
you
very
much
Karen
and
it's
I
know
you.
Your
family
members
are
with
you
here
today
and
like
we
welcome
them
to
City
Hall
as
well.
I've
now
asked
our
outgoing
Auditor
General
Allen
alone
to
come
forward
along
with
the
chair
and
the
vice
chair
of
the
Audit,
Committee,
counselor
sure,
Ellie
and
hubely,
as
we'd
like
to
a
small
presentation
to
our
laughs
for
his
great
tenure
with
the
City
of
Ottawa.
C
The
ever
new
mission
that
owns
councillors
hubely
ensure
Ellie
and
I'll
alone,
began
his
role
as
the
city's
Auditor
General
on
July
14
2004
and
will
serve
as
last
day.
In
the
role
on
December
31st
of
this
month,
he
held
a
series
of
positions
at
Treasury,
Board,
Secretariat
and
then
moved
on
to
the
National
Capital
Commission,
where
he
was
appointed
to
a
number
of
senior
posts,
including
chief
financial
planning
and
reporting
and
chief
management
audit.
C
A
C
Result
of
his
exceptional
work
and
commitment
to
the
public,
mr.
Lall
own
was
a
ward
at
the
Queen
Elizabeth.
The
second
Jubilee
medal.
I
know
I
speak
on
behalf
of
all
of
my
council
colleagues,
when
I
say
this
that
we
are
very
grateful
Island
for
the
work
that
you
have
done
here
at
the
City
of
Ottawa,
the
faribault
fellows
to
me
I
know.
A
C
He
was
always
hardworking
and
diligent
and
had
the
best
interests
of
the
city
at
heart
as
the
city's
very
first
Auditor
General.
Mr.
Lille
own
did
a
significant
amount
of
work
in
establishing
the
office
of
Auditor
General
here
at
the
City
of
Ottawa,
and
he
will
be
certainly
missed.
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
wish
the
best
of
luck
to
ken
Hughes,
who
has
been
a
point
at
the
city.
C
Sack
auditor-general
and
I
acknowledge
the
work
of
the
members
of
the
auditor-general
hiring
panel
and
I
on
behalf
of
all
of
us
at
the
City
of
Ottawa
and
my
colleagues
on
City
Council.
Thank
you
for
your
outstanding
work
and
for
your
dedication
and
commitment
to
the
City
of
Ottawa,
there's
always
in
with
auditors,
general
and
love-hate
relationship,
because
there
are
times
when
we
get
our
knuckles
rapped
rightly
so,
as
does
management.
C
But
at
the
end
of
the
day,
you
act
as
a
catalyst
to
prod
us
to
make
better
decisions
to
ensure
that
we're
respecting
the
taxpayers
dollars
and
to
follow
up
on
what
we've
committed
to
you
and
over
your
tenure
at
the
City
of
Ottawa.
You've
done
just
that
and
on
behalf
of
my
colleagues
on
city
council,
we'd,
like
to
thank
you
for
your
service.
A
G
Maximus
and
man,
thank
you
very
much
mr.
mayor
and
thank
you,
cancer
ugly
and
cancer
cheerily,
the
chair
and
the
vice
chair.
First
I
would
like
to
thank
Council
for
establishing
that
position
in
2003
and
and
as
the
mayor
mayor
mentioned,
that
was
the
first
Auditor
General
in
2004,
but,
more
importantly,
I
think
that
function
was
established
for
the
citizen
of
Ottawa
and
I
really
want
to
thank
each
member
of
Council
for
their
support
and
collaboration
over
the
years.
That
was
really
important
for
us.
G
Second
I
would
like
to
thank
the
management
team,
the
city
manager,
mr.
ken
raucous,
mr.
Shepherd,
for
their
support
and
also
the
discussion
we
had.
We
spent
many
many
hours,
I
spent
many
many
hours
in
Ken's
office,
talking
him
different
things,
talking
about
different
issues,
getting
advice,
discussing
management
or
discussing
anything,
and
sometimes
we
put
a
few
minutes
in
work,
but
most
of
the
issues
were
about
in
general
in
life,
so
that
was
really
appreciated
and
thank
you
very
much.
G
Finally,
I
would
like
to
thank
my
colleagues
when
you
join
a
city.
I
came
from
the
federal
government,
I
know
what
to
expect
and
I
was
fortunate
to
work
with
a
great
bunch
of
people.
They're
good,
they're,
solid,
they're
I
learn
a
lot
from
them.
Some
of
them
left
I'm
thinking
about
the
impressi,
but
today
we
have
Suzanne
balla.
We
spoke
these
renew
and
recast
it.
These
are
fantastic
people
to
work
with
and
I
learn
a
lot
from
them.
So
I
want
to
thank
them
very
much
for
what
they
did
for
us.
A
You,
it
was
a
great
experience.
I
remember
account
that
council
should
be
thanked
for
its
support
and
I,
also
like
to
thank
the
city
director,
can't
miss
Shepherd
mr.
kennel,
a
kiss
for
all
these
hours
that
we
spent
together
their
office
doors
were
always
open,
and
thank
you
again
and
I'd
also
like
to
thank
my
colleagues
Ray's
Suzanne
Wiis,
and
then
they
are
very
good
people
and
their
work
is
very
difficult,
and
the
majority
of
the
success
is
thanks
to
you.
G

thanks.
Ok,.
B
C
K
You,
your
worship,
move
by
myself
seconded
by
councillor,
Sharon
Shenko,
that
when
the
city
conducts
public
consultations,
members
of
council
are
provided
with
electronic
copy
of
the
full
submissions
from
the
public
and
not
simply
staff.
Summaries
of
the
comments
received
upon
request
by
a
member
okay.
C
C
C
A
B
Happening
because
in
the
eastern
portion
of
Rideau
street
east
of
king
edward
there's
no
PA
the
cummings
bridge
and
keyboard
avenue,
and
what
we've
realized
is
that
there's
a
couple
of
groups
that
are
interested
in
the
zone
and
there
wasn't
a
policy
on
how
to
deal
with
it.
So
we're
bringing
forward
this
motion
asking
staff
to
establish
a
process
to
when
there's
interest
in
expansion
or
there's
interest
in
a
zone
where
there's
no
current,
be
IAS
and
also
the
process
in
establishing
which
group
should
be
allocated
that
zone.
C
B
So
that
account
so
therefore
be
it
resolved
at
the
economic
development
and
innovation
department,
be
directed
to
work
with
these
three
groups
to
review
the
BIA
boundaries
in
the
area
and
to
assess
different
options,
including
the
formation
of
a
third
BIA
and
the
expansion
or
alteration
of
the
boundaries
of
one
or
more
of
the
exist.
B
is
B.
It
furthers
of
that.
The
economic
development
and
innovation
department
present
recommendations
for
the
formation,
expansion
or
change
in
the
boundaries
for
downtown
Reed,
o
bi
byward
market
B
I
read
o
Street
and
Sandy
Hill
in
q1
2015.
K
I
K
K
K
So
I
I
think
the
strength
of
a
BIA
is
that
it
is
independent
of
the
city
to
as
great
an
extent
as
it
can
be,
and
you
know
I
wouldn't
want
to
start
interfering
in
that
process,
because
then
we
become
responsible
for
it
as
well.
You
know
why
have
one
be
I
am
I
ward
I
hoped
we
were
going
to
have
two,
and
maybe
we
will
at
some
point,
but
I've
always
thought
that
that
would
be
the
decision
of
the
businesses
in
the
in
the
area.
K
I've
seen
be
IAS
not
happen,
because
city
staff
have
gotten
involved
and
made
recommendations
about
what
the
Constitution
or
construction
of
the
BIA
should
be
and
I
think
that's
really
unfortunate.
So
what
exactly
is
a
value
of
removing
some
of
the
independent
decision
there?
That's
that's
my
question
I
think.
Right
now
we
have
18
BIA
s
that
are
formed.
K
They're
formed
autonomously
and
independently.
The
cities
conducted
the
the
polling
function,
but
beyond
that,
for
for
staff
to
get
involved
in
trying
to
set
controversial
decisions
like
what
boundaries
should
be,
which
is
the
most
controversial
decision
in
the
formation
of
a
BIA
I,
think
it's.
It
puts
us
in
danger
of
removing
the
independence
of
those
businesses
that
are
trying
to
gain
their
own
voice
and
their
own
independent
input
into
all
city
decisions
and
decisions
around
beautification
and
economic
development
in
their
area.
M
A
You,
mr.
mayor
cuz,
surely
we
are
not
forcing
any
of
the
businesses
to
form
a
BIA
or
be
part
of
an
existing
BIA.
We
are
in
a
situation
where
we
have
two
different
options
in
front
of
us,
where
a
new
group
has
come
up
looking
at
the
same
geographic
region
to
create
a
new
BIA
as
well
as
an
existing
BIA,
which
is
also
has
been
thinking
about
expanding
to
cover
that
same
region.
M
Yes,
mr.
mayor,
no
I
think
I
think
what's
missing
out
at
this
conversation.
I
think
legal
need
to
step
in
here,
because
once
we
form
and
BIA
and
you
have
that
the
catchment
area
of
the
BIA
and
if
you
have
the
75%
of
the
businesses,
agreed
to
be
on
that
BIA.
That
means,
then
you
have
no
other
choices
but
to
be,
and
that
error
is
that
correct
and
that's
why
the
city
can
involve
an
establishing
the
boundary
of
those
bas.
Is
that
correct?
Mr.
Connor?
That's.
M
C
E
Mehra
Loonette
knee
motion
I
mean
from
like
I
read
in
the
motion.
Economic
development
and
innovation
apartment
be
directed
to
work
with
these
three
groups
to
review
the
BIA
boundaries
in
your
area
and
access
different
options,
including
formation
in
the
turn
to
BIA
and
the
expansion,
alteration
and
boundaries.
And
if
your
final
be
a
further
resolved,
is
that
after
the
consultation
is
done,
then
that
will
be
presented
to
the
BIA
and
that
time
the
BIA
would
come
back
and
state
if
they
were
interested
or
not.
Isn't
that
correct?
That
is.
N
A
lot
of
South
businesses,
saying
yes,
but
we're
probably
going
to
be
the
poor
cousin
and
really
not
get
a
lot
of
attention
to
a
much
bigger
glebe,
especially
with
Lansdowne,
now
be
incorporated
into
the
Glebe,
and
we
had
Li
BIA
saying
you
know.
We
actually
don't
think
that's
good
for
you,
because
we
won't
give
you
the
attention
you
deserve.
So
in
the
end,
unfortunately,
I
would
say
if
the
old
Ottawa
South
you
know,
campaign
did
not
work.
N
E
That
and
when
we
were
speaking
with
the
province
on
this
particular
issue,
the
Ministry
of
Municipal,
Affairs
and
housing,
because
it
is
quite
unique,
they
they
said
you
know
just
because
you
could
create
a
BIA,
should
doesn't
mean
that
you
should
create
it
unless
it's
in
the
best
interest
of
the
businesses.
So
this
this
motion
would
provide
the
opportunity
for
us
to
do
that
analysis
to
make
sure
the
boundaries
are
in
the
best
interest
of
the
businesses.
Thank.
N
You
because
I
feel
it's
very
important
that,
while
we
as
city
staff
and
his
councillors,
draw
attention
to
businesses
and
landowners
in
an
area
of
the
benefit
potential
benefits
of
BIA
we'd,
be
very
honest
about
pros
cons
benefits.
You
know
money
available
to
them,
grants
available
to
them,
but
ultimately
they
are
there
paying
the
that
levy
and
they
need
to
make
that
decision
themselves.
Thank
you.
Thanks.
D
E
D
J
My
only
concern
about
the
bi
A's
is
the
fact
that
sometimes
they
want
to
expand
into,
for
example,
an
office
building
which
wouldn't
benefit
from
the
marketing
efforts.
The
BIA
is
in
their
mind,
and
and
since
it's
one
owner,
the
three
quarters
is
easy
to
get.
If
you
just
expand,
you
already
got
three
quarters,
so
is
that
three
quarters
of
the
people
that
are
potentially
going
to
be
added
or
three
quarters
of
the
existing
plus
the
expansion.
J
Well,
that
sort
of
makes
it
a
little
easier
to
swallow
this
bill.
My
concern
about
expanding
bi
is,
is
just
that
the
it
has
to
be
done
with
eyes,
open
and
I
seems
to
me
that
that,
when
we're
dealing
with
additional
levies
to
people
that
it's
important,
they
understand
what
the
economic
consequences
are.
I
hope
that
they're
thoroughly
laid
out
when
they
go
to
vote,
whether
they're
on
that
three
quarters
or
not
what
the
economic
consequences
are
for
the
ones
are
trying
to
bring
in,
so
that
they
can
vote
vote
intelligently.
E
You,
mr.
mayor,
you
notice,
I
was
hesitating
to
put
my
hand
back
order
to
press
the
button.
I'm
just
very
uncomfortable,
with
this
I
and
I
am
because
we
have
a
process
which
is
quite
rigid
and
and
every
other
BIA.
Anyone
that
I
know
I
know
what
the
bells
coroner's
one.
Definitely
the
bar
Haven
BIA
really
had
to
jump
through
hoops
and
and
and
play
a
very
stringent
ball
of
stringent
rules
and
everything.
It
wasn't
easy
and
I
see
this
as
certainly
isn't
queue-jumping
or
anything.
E
But
it
is
it's
a
different
process
that
seems
to
be
set
up,
particularly
for
a
couple
of
be
IAS
and
I.
Don't
know
that
we
would
do
the
same,
for
everyone
give
the
same
consideration
for
all
of
them
and
I,
and
that's
where
we
stand
strong
is
when
we
have
rules
that
apply
to
everyone.
That's
in
the
particular
pond,
if
you
will,
which
is
the
BIA.
Quite
large
group
of
organizations
now
and
I
I.
E
B
Thank
You
mr.
Mehra
and
I
appreciate
the
all
the
interest
and
the
questions
related
to
you
to
this
one.
Maybe
I
can
jump
in
and
explain
some
context
so
there's
a
zone
there's
currently
a
BIA
between
rillette
Sussex
to
King
Edward,
along
Rideau
Street,
then
there's
a
gap,
there's
no
BIA
and
then
east
of
the
bridge.
When
you
get
into
venue
there's
the
venue
BIA
we've
invested
on
Rito
Street
and
the
the
businesses
have
come
together
and
are
approached
by
different
interest
groups
to
form
a
bi
in
that
zone.
So
what
we're
asking?
B
It
really
is
at
this
point
for
staff
to
provide
assistance
to
these
individual
businesses
in
having
the
discussion
with
the
three
partners,
but
in
the
end,
unless
I'm
wrong
in
the
motion.
But
the
idea
would
be
that
the
acceptance
or
the
votes
from
businesses
would
be
exactly
the
same.
So
we're
not
getting
involved
in
the
voting
process
that
will
still
be,
as
as
what
is
there
would
be
typically
for
the
formation
or
the
expansion
of
the
BI.
This
is
only
to
support
that
zone.
Individual
businesses
in
the
decision
process
is
that
correct.
C
You,
okay,
just
on
this.
This
is
really
when
I
saw
this
motion.
I
saw
it
as
a
way
for
our
Department
of
Economic,
Development
and
innovation
to
facilitate
a
situation
between
three
different
groups.
Here,
we're
not
going
to
micromanage
the
BIS
I
think
the
very
fact
that
we
we
set
up
the
Council
of
bi
ace
and
it's
now
been
really.
C
The
leadership
has
been
taken
over
by
the
the
BIS
themselves
show
that
we
want
them
to
operate
at
arm's
length,
but
this
is
simply
a
particular
situation
in
an
area
where
there
seems
to
be
some
overlapping
in
some
gaps,
and
we
want
to
try
to
be
helpful
on
that
front.
So,
on
the
motion,
Carrie,
yeas
and
nays
councillor,
Sher
Ali
is
called
yeas
and
nays
on
the
flurry
Moffett
motion.
N
H
N
K
H
K
H
C
E
Yes,
I
think
it's
it's
just
a
repayment.
Our
appointments
were
as
the
Ontario
good
roads,
Association
okra
and
rural
Ontario,
Municipal,
Association,
Roma,
association
of
municipalities
of
Ontario
and
Association
from
say.
We
just
about
dated
Ontario
all
require
motions,
annual
basis
confirming
the
city's
representative
on
their
organizations,
and
so
this
is
just
confirming
those
appointments.
I
just.
C
Heard
councillor
Thompson
speak
French,
there
can
list
a
Co,
so
our
rep
says
presented.
This
is
required
every
year
by
the
different
organizations
carried
carried,
emotions
requiring
suspension
of
the
rules
of
procedure.
Celts
are
Taylor
sailor.
Councillor
flurry
councillor
Taylor
on
Bayshore
shopping
centre.
C
K
You
very
much
and
the
motion
is
with
regard
to
the
construction
of
Bayshore
shopping
center
and
their
need
to
be
granted
a
small
bylaw
exemption
on
the
noise
by
law.
Although
the,
although
the
time
period
of
the
extension
itself
is
long,
it
runs
from
the
1st
of
January
2014
into
2015.
The
actual
window
of
the
time
of
day
each
day
is
relatively
short.
They
would
like
to
start
their
noisy
construction
process
two
hours
earlier
than
normal
at
5:00
a.m.
rather
than
7
a.m.
K
Local
residents,
obviously
in
this
area,
have
been
undergoing
a
lot
of
change
and
renewal
over
the
coming
or
over
the
past
year
with
the
mall
itself
and
the
surrounding
a
core
village
property
all
doing
renewal,
so
they
have
been
supportive
and
the
the
partners,
the
mall
and
local
aquatic
community
as
well
and
Fergus.
Lea
have
all
been
really
stepped
up
to
help
manage
the
impact
of
that
construction
process.
So
they're
seeking
this
they're
seeking
this
a
waiver
and
I'm
supportive
of
it.
Okay,.
L
You
actually
have
three
motions
here
today,
and
so,
if
we
want
to
deal
with
them
all
three
yeah
they're,
all
they're
all
related
later
I'm,
not
gonna.
We
also
have
to
pass
each
one
individually,
but
but
but
the
point
is
that
there
is.
There
is
three
of
they're
all
related
to
the
court.
The
court
in
committee
of
revision,
all
right
so.
L
Right,
yes,
so
the
first
one,
the
screen
again,
all
these
stem
from
the
quarter
vision,
community
vision
that
we
met
when
it
met
in
in
October,
and
there
was
issues
that
were
brought
forward.
One
of
them
was
specifically
about
a
decision
made
by
counsel
in
April
that
we
missed
something.
The
other
two
were
brought
specific
to
the
manticore
area,
local
improvements,
the
one
that
you
see
on
the
screen.
It
speaks
to
properties
that
are
currently
exempt
from
from
taxes
and
we're
looking
to
have
them
exempt
further
from
from
the
local
improvement.
L
Now,
there's
five
properties
listed
on
this
they're
all
in
inside
the
manticore
area,
local
improvement
area.
We
did
look
at
every
single
local
improvement
across
the
city
to
determine
if
other
tax
exempt
properties
did
exist
in
other
local
improvement
areas,
they
don't
so.
The
five
that
are
listed
here
are
the
only
tax
exempt
properties
subject
to
any
local
improvement
citywide.
L
So
the
motion
is
therefore
V
resolved
that
council
waive
the
collection
of
special
assessment
charges
in
respect
to
the
properties
noted
below
in
the
manticore
area,
sanitary
sewer,
local
improvement
properties
listed.
It's
the
mansik
Legion
the
Mantic
United
Church,
the
st.
James
and
can
Church
the
Knox
Presbyterian
Church
and
Watson's
Mill,
be
it
further
resolved
that
the
allocation
of
the
amounts
waived
pursuant
to
this
motion
be
allocated
to
the
sewer
reserved
through
the
annual
capital,
closed
and
adjustments
report.
O
D
O
D
A
O
No
I
know
we
did
them
in
Kanata,
but
I
don't
share.
If
there
any
nonprofits
are
involved,
everybody
had
to
pay
at
that
time
as
they
probe
of
it.
Is
it's
not
I,
think
saying
it's
a
tax,
it's
not
a
taxes
actually
paying
for
a
service
they're
getting
and
that's
why
they
paid
the
water
charge
in
the
sewer
charge
and
I.
Don't
know
whether
we're
creating
a
precedence
on
this
I.
Don't
know
as
a
staff
supporting
this
doing
this
or
what
was
the
stats
position
on.
I
Mr.
mayor,
this
is
not
unusual
for
council
to
face
these
decisions
from
time
to
time.
Staffs
position
on
this
in
specific
incident,
or
these
specific
properties
is
from
legals
perspective
and
from
finance.
We
would
be
able
to
continue
and
collect
these
charges.
However,
it
would
be
up
to
Council
to
make
a
public
policy
decision
with
whether
or
not
they
wanted
to
exempt
them.
For
the
reasons
given
I
know.
O
D
D
O
D
O
Yeah,
it
should
really
be
a
notice
motion,
but
they
they,
the
problem,
I
have
is
we've
been
doing
some
work
with
the
Community
Land
Corporation.
We
have
and
we've
sold
land
to
churches
and
they're,
paying
a
cost
for
the
land
which
includes
the
cost
of
putting
in
the
water
and
sewer
in
front
of
their
property.
So
every
church
or
building
that
by
its
land
in
the
urban
area
is
actually
paying
these
charges
for
the
sewer
and
water
in
front,
because
it's
part
of
the
land
costs
when
they
pay
and
I
know,
it's
always
difficult.
O
When
you
come
behind
it
is
there,
it
is.
It
is
difficult
and
I
know
it's
been
waved
before,
because
I
know
some
cases,
but
it
so
I
just
a
little
concerned
about
whether
I
don't
mind
these
particular
ones
at
this
time.
But
I
would
like
to
say
that
it
wouldn't
be
that
we
need
to
report
back
and
how
we're
going
to
deal
with
these
with
future
local
improvement
things,
because
we
are
going
to
have
as
we
get
extensions
and
proper
areas
and
where
they
don't
have
water
and
sewer.
O
Now
you're
going
to
get
this
happening
again,
and
this
is
sort
of
a
on
the
spot.
New
policy
development
I,
don't
like
doing
policies
in
that
way,
so
I
don't
go
way
there
I
would
prefer
I
didn't
realize
and
what
the
when
we
waived
their
rules
to
put
them
on
I
hadn't
seen
the
motion.
I,
really,
don't
think
we
should
be
doing
this
without
having
a
staff
report
coming
with
it
on
the
implications
of
it,
because
this
is
something
that
really
should
be
going
to
committee.
O
If
I
had
I'd
be
quite
willing
to
to
put
I
put
a
motion
forward
that
we
refer
this
to
the
Environment
Committee
to
come
back
with
report
that
covers
the
policy
does
go
to
paid
off
sorry,
fedko
emotional,
for
it
to
fedko,
and
I
guess,
if
they're
all
related
with
it,
probably
has
to
do
the
same
thing.
Okay,.
O
C
L
Motions
were
listed
in
the
procedure
memo
that
we
all
received
last
night,
which
did
speak
to
the
time
sensitivity,
I'll
read
it
ups
again.
The
deadline
for
the
owners
for
the
properties
involved
need
to
make
a
decision
as
to
how
they're
gonna
pay
for
their
improvements
by
December
20th.
So
they've
got
to
decide
whether
they're
gonna
pay
one
lump
sum
whether
they're
gonna
pay
over
the
installments,
so
that
decision
needs
to
be
made
by
them
by
December
20th.
L
O
C
D
O
C
C
C
Okay,
colleagues,
apologize
for
the
delay.
We
have
emotion
of
referral
by
councillor
Wilkins
Wilkinson,
say
my
counsellor
Cirelli,
that
this
issue
be
referred
to
the
appropriate
standing
committee
and
that
staff
provide
a
report
on
the
policy
implications
and
that
the
deadline
for
the
five
properties
be
extended
to
30
days
after
council
decision.
C
G
Thank
You,
mr.
mayor,
my
question
was
on
the
original
motion,
but
D,
but
defer
or
referral
still
applies,
because
it's
an
explanation
of
the
last
FURTHER
RESOLVED
that
I
think
we
need
to
understand
before
we
decide
whether
to
refer
or
not
and
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
it's
legal
or
the
treasure
that
would
be
able
to
help
us
here.
The
the
reference
that
allocation
of
the
amounts
waived
be
allocated
to
the
sewer
reserve
through
the
annual
capital
closed.
G
An
adjustment
report
may
be
it's
my
understanding
of
how
we
do
the
the
clothes
and
the
adjustment
report,
but
if
we're
going
to
waive
an
amount,
how
can
that
be
allocated
to
the
reserve?
And
my
next
question
is
what
the
impact
is
on
the
reserve.
I
know
what
the
amount
is.
So
can
you
help
me?
First
of
all,
in
the
first
part,
you're.
E
G
G
K
Your
worship,
well,
this
issue
is,
is
very
much
a
policy
decision.
The
council
needs
to
take
and
I
think
a
committee
is
a
place
where
we
contemplate
these
kinds
of
policy
decisions
and
it's
the
place
where
we
allow
the
public
to
come
forward
and
add
a
little
information,
color
and
opinion
to
the
issue.
K
D
That
I'll
I'll
be
both
healthy
voting
for
referral,
because
I
think
we
need
some
context,
I
see
how
this
is
going
to
be
funded
and
what
this
cost
is
going
to
be.
But
I
have
to
think
that
if
this
goes
ahead,
as
is
without
us,
knowing
what
the
overall,
how
many
potential
applicants
are
out
there
who
may
have
similar
requests?
What
those
costs
may
be,
how
we
would
fund
those
going
forward,
I
think
we
need
to
have
all
that
information.
D
L
The
largest,
the
largest
issue
that
we
had
was
the
was
the
timeline.
Thanks
said
mr.
mark
for
for
agreeing
that
we
can.
We
push
the
the
timeline
for
for
responses.
Then
we
get
that
notice
out
to
the
two
parties.
You
know
clearly
that
the
thing
here
and
you
can
look
at
the
groups-
I
mean
Mantic
legion-
is
a
is
not
exactly
in
it.
For
the
money,
Watson's
mill
is
actually
not
even
doesn't
even
have
plumbing,
so
they
can't
even
access
services
if
they
wanted.
L
L
So
I
mean
obviously
I'll
make
sure
that
that
our
groups
here
can
come
and
then
make
their
case
as
to
why
these
not-for-profits
should
should
get
that
I
mean
they
came
and
spoke.
They
took
the
time
they
came
and
spoke
to
us.
It
was
just
myself
and
councilor
kachi
at
that
time.
L
At
committee
revision,
there's
only
three
members
of
council
on
community
revision,
but
these
groups
they'll
take
their
time
to
come
and
speak
to
us
and
whether
it's
mansik
or
local
improvement
to
Kemp
Park
Leggett
Road,
they
all
come
and
they
all
you
know,
speak
to
us
and
we
try
to.
We
try
to
resolve
those
issues
as
much
as
possible,
which
is
why
I
mentioned
that
you
know
if
there
was
other
it
other
other
groups
here
that
that
were
Saxon.
But
it's
not
that
I'm
aware
that
a
local
groumet
isn't
attacks.
L
The
point
is
that
that
there's
a
reason
why
they're
tax
exempt
I'm
just
trying
I'm
just
adding
the
same
rationale
to
why
they
should
be
exempt
from
the
local
improvement.
But
again,
if,
if
I
get
a
chance
to
speak
to
this
at
some
at
the
appropriate
committee,
then
then
we'll
do
that.
Okay,
Thank
You
councillor.
C
Moffat,
so
we
have
a
motion
to
refer:
read
it
again.
It's
on
I
believe
on
this.
The
screen
that
the
that
this
issue
be
referred
to,
the
appropriate
Standing
Committee
and
that
staff
provide
a
report
on
the
policy
implications
and
that
the
deadline
for
the
five
properties
listed
in
the
motion
be
extended
to
30
days
after
the
council
decision
on
referral
carried.
L
Moffat
again,
so
this
is
a
this
stemming
from
the
the
committee,
a
revision
in
October.
It's
about
one
property
in
particular,
and
if
I
can
try
to
give
you
the
context
properly
for
this
5565
Dickinson
Street
is
a
property.
That's
it's
at
the
very
end
of
the
connection
there,
whereas
there's
other
properties
to
the
south
of
5565
that
opted
out
of
the
of
the
local
improvement
for
the
purposes
that
they
would
require
a
pump
which
would
be
an
extra
cost.
So
they
decided
they
would
just
stick
with
their
their
septic
system.
L
At
that
time,
5565
was
told
at
the
time
that
they
wouldn't
require
a
pump,
so
they
they
signed
on
to
the
local
improvement.
It
was
determined
through,
and
it
says
in
this
aware,
as
at
the
time
of
construction,
became
known,
that
the
property
could
not
be
serviced
by
a
gravity.
Connection
require
pumping
and,
as
a
result
has
not
has
opted
not
to
connect.
L
Six
sanitary
sewer,
local
improving
project,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
city
assume
the
local
improvement
charge
for
fifty
five.
Sixty
five
Dickinson
and
be
a
furthers
all
that
the
sewer
connection
bylaw
be
amended
to
include
the
eleven
thousand
six
hundred
forty
dollars
and
sixty
eight
cents
charge
for
the
property
at
5565,
Dickinson
Street
at
the
time
of
connection
to
the
sanitary
sewer
system.
So
it's
hard
to
visualize
it,
but
courier,
Street
and
Dickens
the
street
are
perpendicular
to
each
other
and
had
5565
Dickinson
not
opted
into
local
improvements.
L
The
sewer
system
would
not
have
gone
either
beside
or
in
front
of
that
property,
meaning
it
would
not
have
been
assessed
so
how
they
had
the
proper
information
they
would
have
not
been
assessed.
Hence
the
motion
before
you
today
and
again:
it's
the
same
situation
with
the
December
20th
time
like
so.
C
G
C
L
L
And
whereas
it
is
anticipated
that
in
the
balance
of
the
property
transfers
yeah
didn't,
it
had
been
anticipated
that
in
most
cases,
title
insurance
would
be
liable
for
payments
of
the
outstanding
local
improvement
charge.
And
whereas,
since
the
enactment
of
the
dispensation
policy
the
information
has
been
made
available
to
the
city
is
that
the
title
insurance
purchased
by
the
residents
is
not
providing
coverage
for
these
local
improvement.
L
So
I'll
just
add
the
amendments,
which
is
a
set
that
sorry.
The
amendment
is
really
just
b2,
which
is
that
attack
certificate
was
not
requested
in
title
insurance.
Was
it
changed?
So
when
counsel
came
forward
with
this
and
I
want
me
that
I
think
the
three
members
of
committee
of
origination
award
against
this,
but
when
one
council,
when
council
came
forward
with
this
back
in
back
in
April,
the
the
the
goal
was
to
help
out
those
who
have
been
waiting
for
such
a
long
time.
L
I
think
the
actually
original
motion
was
ruled
by
councillor
Dean's
and,
and
we
missed
something.
We
thought
that
we
were
capturing
everyone
under
tax
certificate.
It
became
apparent
through
through
subsequent
committee
or
revision
meetings,
specifically
through
the
Navin
Road
local
improvement
that
we
weren't,
we
weren't
catching
the
people
we
were
trying
to
catch.
We
were,
we
were
trying
to
get
address
an
issue
and
we
failed
to
address
that
issue.
Adding
title
insurance
to
this
dispensation
policy
addresses
the
issue
as
counsel
intended
to
you
back
in
April.
J
C
If
I
could
just
ask
the
staff-
because
this
may
be
one
of
these
items-
that
we
might
want
to
refer
back
because
it
is
very
complicated
and
while
I
appreciate
us
going
through
the
whole
motion-
I'm
not
entirely
clear
as
to
what
the
repercussions
or
implications
are
for
the
city.
So
I
know
if
the
city
clerk
or
mr.
mark
would
like
to
speak
to
this
and
whether
they
would
support
one
member
of
council
moving
this
back
to
most
appropriately
fedko.
C
I
Merrill
I'll
try
to
give
the
short
version
of
this.
As
the
resolution
points
out
or
the
recital
clauses
point
out,
there
was
a
practice,
maybe
180
property
owners
that
purchased
their
property
at
some
point
after
the
local
improvement
process
or
charges
had
begun
as
a
result
of
that
council
in
April
of
this
year
said
if
you
saw
a
tax
certificate
from
the
city,
which
obviously
would
then
have
shown
your
due
diligence
as
a
purchasing
owner
and
that
the
tax
certificate
did
not
indicate
the
local
improvement
charge.
I
I
What
we
had
was
property
insurance,
title
insurance
and
we
found
out
out
of
the
hundred
and
eighty,
approximately
seventy
had
sought
tax
certificates,
but
there
was
a
hundred
and
ten
homeowners
who
had
sought
to
purchase
and
had
done
so
under
the
guise
of
title
insurance,
I've
learned
so
much
more
about
title
insurance
over
the
last
few
months.
Mr.
I
mayor,
the
key
factor
in
this
case
being
two
of
the
four
title:
insurers,
who
are
the
main
title-
insurers
in
North
America
declined
claims
on
this
very
issue,
and
the
homeowners
were
pleased
to
share
this
with
us
and
the
information
we
got
from
that
was
that
the
policies
were
limited.
The
fact
that
until
the
charge
crystallized
and
their
version
of
when
it
crystallized
was
when
it
went
to
a
court
of
revision,
he
was
not
covered
by
the
title
insurance.
So
mr.
I
G
Mr.
mayor,
the
sisters
provided
the
overall
context
but
concluded
with
the
legal
answer,
which
is,
it
is
legally
possible
for
the
city
to
collect
these
charges,
but
I
believe
and
agree
with
what
councilor
Moffitt
concluded
with,
which
is.
This
recommendation
is
entirely
consistent
with
the
previous
decision.
The
council
made
on
this
from
a
public
policy
perspective
the
the
issue
of
due
diligence.
G
These
people
did
have
the
the
insurance
it's
a
legal
issue
that
that,
in
terms
of
the
city's
ability
to
collect
that
back
from
the
insurance
companies,
we
can't
do
that,
but
the
due
diligence
was
conducted
by
the
the
property
owners
at
the
time.
That's
consistent
with
the
basis
with
which
you
gave
the
exemption
to
the
to
those
that
had
asked
for
the
the
tax
certificate.
So
I
would
recommend
that
this.
Certainly,
as
this
motion
has
staff
support.
G
G
They're
coming
back
to
us
and
saying
here's
the
answer
we
got
and
as
a
result
of
that
answer,
we're
willing
to
sort
of
say
that
we
we
either
were
remiss
in
not
providing
adequate
information.
I
mean
our.
If
we're
admitting
some
fault
and
liability
here,
then
then
I
would
agree
with
the
city
manager,
but
if
we're
saying
that
we
did
everything
that
was
legally
required
and
maybe
even
ethically
required
of
us
and
it's
a
different
situation.
Mr.
I
Mayor
as
your
city,
solicitor,
I,
won't
comment
on
the
ethical
park,
but
with
regards
to
the
limit
the
legal
part,
the
concern
that
has
been
raised
by
residency
both
saw
tots
types
certificates
and
those
that
had
title
insurance
was
what
his
described
as
the
undue
delay.
The
city
took
in
processing
the
charge
and
they
claimed
that
had
we
processed
it
in
a
timely
fashion,
it
would
have
been
on
the
tax
certificates
and
it
would
have
been
covered
by
their
title
insurance.
So
I
think
there
is
a
legal
concern
from
their
perspective.
Now.
G
G
We've
had
other
circumstances
in
the
past
and
if,
if
this
wasn't
being
walked
on,
I
could
run
the
I
could
run
the
minutes
by
where
we've
had
answers
both
from
the
city
manager
and
the
treasurer.
In
other
similar
cases
where
the
answer
was
well,
you
know
maybe
a
mistake
was
made,
but
it's
really
not
our
mistake
and
we're
not
willing
to
waive
those
fees.
I
With
respect
mr.
mayor
I,
don't
believe
legal
services.
Under
these
circumstances,
we
are
still
a
legal
opinion
that
the
city
has
a
right
to
recover
the
amounts
being
suggested
here,
but
the
city
manager
has
a
different
approach
and,
as
I've
indicated
before,
council
does
have
the
ability
to
establish
public
policy
based
on
equity,
among
other
things.
Thank.
G
K
K
E
You
very
much
mr.
Peres
I,
don't
agree
with
referral
on
this,
for
the
simple
reason
is:
our
city
manager
has
indicated
to
us
that
this
motion
is
completely
consistent
with
kirt
councils,
current
policy,
which
is
because
of
the
extreme
delay
in
processing
these
local
improvements.
Many
people
changed
ownerships
of
the
homes
and
they
did
due
diligence
either
through
purchasing
a
tax
certificate
or
purchasing
title
insurance,
and
this
charge
did
not
appear
so
they
are
being
penalized
for
their
due
diligence.
E
That
was
the
policy
decision
we
tried
to
correct
last
year
was
to
not
penalize
them
brought
forward
by
councillor
Dean's
and
I
thought.
It
was
a
very
good
move
by
councillor
Dean's
to
try
to
try
to
do
this.
This
is
simply
correcting
an
error
in
that
first
decision
and
is
completely
consistent
with
our
current
policy,
and
we
should
pass
this
today
to
give
these
people
some
certainty
as
they
head
through
the
Christmas
season.
They
don't
need
a
20
or
30
thousand
dollar
charge
hanging
over
their
heads
on
Christmas
morning,
thanks
very
much.
Okay.
E
C
G
E
D
C
G
G
J
C
J
J
J
And
a
lot
of
people
who
have
encroached
on
them
and
that
we've
sold
some
of
them
piecemeal.
In
other
words,
it's
a
hodgepodge
and
essentially
other
rinse
powers
in
Ontario,
Hamilton
Windsor,
even
London
has
one,
but
the
misspelled
e
agrees
to
sell
back
such
back
lanes.
Windsor
did
this
a
long
time
ago
and
alleys
to
residential
homeowners,
abutting
them
for
nominal
sums,
because
they're
not
really
valuable
to
anybody
else.
J
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
council
direct
staffed,
prepare
a
report
on
the
feasibility
of
a
pilot
project
to
offer
such
rear
lanes
for
sale
to
a
budding
residential,
an
hour's
phenomenal
payment,
where
the
sees
determined
no
prospect
for
the
lane
to
serve
a
public
purpose
and
that
the
lanes
and
Overbrook
between
Prince,
Albert
and
Queen
Mary
Street
be
the
focus
of
this
report.
Now.
The
rationale
for
that
is
that
we,
if
we
try
to
tackle
them
all
at
once,
the
problem
becomes
a
very
lengthy
problem
with
no
solution.
J
C
M
You
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and
be
it
resolved
that
council
resolve
income
in
camera
pursuant
to
subsection,
13
1b
personal
matters
about
a
death
I
identify
about
individual,
including
staff,
D
Labor,
Relations
or
employee
negotiations,
and,
if
the
receiving
of
advised
that
a
subject
to
solicitor
client
privilege,
including
communications,
necessary
for
that
pursuit
leader
procedures
by
law,
2006

with
respect
to
the
city,
manager's
employment
contract
and
it's
on.
E
It's
not
my
birthday,
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I,
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
mention
that
my
longtime
executive
assistant,
Beverly
Munn.
This
is
her
last
meeting
of
Ottawa
City
Council
after
20
years
in
my
office
and
I.
Think
you
all
know
that
Bev
has
been
a
loyal,
dedicated,
an
outstanding
city,
employee
and
she
has
served
the
city
with
distinction
for
20
years.
So
I
just
wanted
you
to
join
me
in
wishing
her
out
the
best
in
her
retirement.
C
If
I
heard
that
news
I
said
she's
too
young
to
retire,
but
congratulations
Bev
and
thank
you
for
your
service,
so
on
councilor
else
and
Terry's
motion
seconded
by
Councillor
to
rush
carried,
so
we
will
go
in
camera
now.
It
will
take
us
a
few
minutes
to
ask
people
to
leave
and
we
will
resume
the
meeting
in
a
few
moments.
