You
your
worship
here
today
we
have
the
choir
from
Leslie
Park
School
in
college
ward,
the
choir
ranges
in
age
from
8
to
11,
and
this
group
has
been
together
now
for
two
years
and
will
be
performing
the
second
annual
chapters
fundraiser
for
the
school
on
November
23rd.
So,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
Leslie
Park,
School.
A
A
D
From
Leslie
Park
merci
beaucoup
Elle
is
its
agenda.
Leslie
Park
at
this
point
in
our
program,
it's
my
pleasure
to
present
the
mayor
city
builder,
award
I,
asked
miss
Jeana
Lapointe
to
come
forward
and
also
a
Swiss
low
points.
Councillor
Stephen
bleh,
as
well
as
Bob
Manette,
whose
ward
includes
the
Orleans
community
garden
to
join
us
as
well.
Welcome,
Gina
and
Gina's
family
is
with
us
as
well.
C
D
Retiring
as
a
military
police
officer
in
2006
Gina
has
dedicated
herself
to
the
community
garden,
eventually
being
elected
president
in
November
2010
under
her
care.
The
garden
and
grounds
have
flourished
with
the
installation
of
two
sheds
for
the
gardener's,
a
solar
panel
pump
system,
which
was
a
first
for
the
City
of
Ottawa
and,
most
recently,
the
addition
of
beehives.
It's
actually
absolutely
incredible.
D
This
community
garden,
councillor,
Manette
and
I,
were
out
visiting
it
to
see
all
of
this
technology,
and
we
all
both
received
a
bottle
of
Orleans
honey,
and
it
is
really
quite
remarkable
how
beautiful
and
well-maintained
this
garden
is
under
her
care.
The
garden
and
grounds
have
flourished
with
the
installation
of
these
two
sheds
and
on
top
of
a
role
and
responsibilities
at
the
garden.
Jean
has
also
been
looking
after
the
bees
since
their
arrival
on
pluie,
they
function
quell
or
queue
on.
D
The
Orleans
community
garden
has
opened
its
doors
to
members
of
the
public
as
part
of
the
Ottawa
garden
Day.
This
year,
Gina
was
instrumental
in
having
Marc
Burton
head
gardener
for
the
Governor
General's
House
visit
the
community
garden
for
garden
day,
given
its
limited
amount
of
public
appearances.
This
is
quite
an
accomplishment.
The
orleans
community
garden
was
established
to
provide
a
community
space
for
the
residents
of
orleans
to
grow
local
organic
produce,
while
educating
the
community
on
the
practice
and
benefits
of
gardening.
D
D
Who
donate
food
leave
it
in
one
of
the
sheds
and
Jeana?
Actually,
then
cleans
every
item
and
delivers
it
personally
to
the
Ottawa
mission
every
Tuesday
morning.
Thank
you
for
your
dedication
and
stewardship
of
the
community
garden
Jeana.
It's
my
pleasure
to
present
you
with
the
mayor
city
builder
award
for
such
great
community
involvement
with
the
Orleans
garden.
Congratulations.
E
E
I'd
like
to
thank
my
family
and
friends
for
making
me
want
to
be
a
better
person
and
to
give
back
to
the
community
and
I'd,
especially
like
to
thank
chef
Rick
from
the
mission
who's
here
with
us
today,
he's
the
one
that
makes
it
all
possible.
He
accepts
all
our
food
and
makes
sure
everything
gets
used
up
before
it
can
go
bad.

On
the
motion
carried
last
June
council
directed
that
I
work
with
our
new
city
manager,
Steve
Cadillac
us
to
deliver
a
budget
that
keeps
the
city
on
a
path
of
fiscal
prudence,
I'm
pleased
to
report
that
we're
bringing
forward
a
balanced
budget
for
2017,
while
also
setting
the
table
for
a
balanced
budget
in
2018.
We
have
listened
to
residents
through
the
budget
consultation
process
and
we've
built
that
feedback
into
the
draft
2017
budget
that
will
be
tabled
momentarily.
There's
a
bogus
pseudonym
busy
day.
The
no
residue,
APL
danke.
C
D
An
affordable
City
for
all
residents,
a
caring
City
that
uses
its
assets
and
resources
to
help
residents,
succeed
a
sustainable
city
with
a
commitment
to
transit,
an
act
of
mobility
as
central
pillars
of
our
current
and
future
quality
of
life,
a
city
that
is
refocused
on
strengthening
the
core
municipal
services.
That
residents
rely
on
a
prosperous
and
viber
city,
where
the
arts,
culture
and
festivals
play
a
dynamic
role
and
diversifying
our
region's
economy,
particularly
as
we
head
into
2017
and
a
city
that
has
an
investment
plan
for
innovation
and
job
creation.
D
Although
we
are
looking
forward
to
continuing
our
ongoing
discussions
on
the
budget,
I'm
pleased
with
the
level
of
public
consultation
that
has
occurred
to
date,
there
have
been
six
multi
ward
councillor
led
consultations
as
well
as
two
single
Ward
consultations
in
September
and
October.
To
date,
the
city
has
received
budget
ideas
and
feedback
from
residents,
key
partners
and
stakeholders
through
a
variety
of
ways,
including
the
councillor
led
budget
consultations,
the
budget
planning
tool
available
on
ottawa,
CA
the
city's
social
media
channel
through
3-1-1
and
via
email
at
budget
at
Ottawa
dot
CA.
D
As
of
November
3rd.
There
were
fourteen
hundred
and
nineteen
visits
to
the
budget
planning
tool
with
245
completed
responses.
My
thanks
to
councillor
Tierney
for
initiating
this
new
Public
Engagement
tool,
all
of
the
feedback
from
that
all
of
the
channels
has
been
consolidated
and
reviewed
in
the
development
of
the
2017
draft
budget.
There
are
a
number
of
new
initiatives
in
budget
2017
that
will
strengthen
our
social
safety
net
instruments
that
will
help
residents
succeed
tomorrow
and
for
years
to
come
over
the
course
of
the
last
two
years.
D
D
This
is
the
city's
largest
one-time
increase
in
financial
support
to
residents
living
below
the
low
income
cutoff
for
public
transit
in
the
city's
history.
I
strongly
believe
that
this
is
a
big
step
forward
in
building
the
type
of
city.
We
all
want
a
city
that
gives
residents
with
low
incomes
the
opportunity
to
benefit
from
public
transit
at
a
deeply
discounted
monthly
fare
segment.
D
Residents
seeking
employment,
single
parents,
recent
immigrants
in
Ottawa,
settling
in
Ottawa
and
for
those
residents
temporarily
out
of
work
due
to
injury
and
we're
able
to
accomplish
this
while
maintaining
existing
prices
for
other
transit
customers
and
while
keeping
our
2%
tax
cap
commitment
this
year.
This
year's
budget
rather
will
include
a
five
hundred
thousand
dollar
reserve
to
respond
to
demands
that
might
outpace
our
budget
projections.
The
new
equal
pace
will
cost
the
city
2.2
million
dollars
on
an
annual
basis
when
fully
implemented.
D
D
This
year,
Council
asked
the
province
to
contribute
funding
for
the
transit
pass
for
residents
with
low
incomes,
and
we
will
continue
to
seek
a
fruit,
provincial
funding
moving
forward.
However,
due
to
the
result
of
assessment
growth
beyond
what
was
forecasted,
we
are
in
a
position
to
jumpstart
this
program
and
we
will
do
this
while
continuing
our
efforts
to
encourage
the
province
to
help
us
provide
an
even
deeper
discount
in
the
future.
We
are
able
to
fund
the
new
equi
pass
without
eliminating
other
supportive
passes.
D
For
example,
some
have
suggested
getting
rid
of
the
seniors
pass
or
increasing
the
price
for
adult
fares
and
I
do
not
support
these
proposals
at
all.
Our
proposal
doesn't
punish
one
group
in
order
to
help
another
budget
2017,
also
an
axe
council's
decision
to
eliminate
the
Express
Pass
premiums,
effective,
January,
1st
2017
for
28,000
transit
users,
the
premier
janvier
news,
eliminar,
OC
budget.
D
Bar
Haven
and
Orleans
would
previously
had
to
pay
Express
Pass
premiums.
I
want
to
thank
our
suburban
councillors,
who
advocated
strongly
on
this
issue.
Particular
councillors,
Blay
hubely,
Manette,
Wilkinson,
harder
and
caucus
I
like
to
now
return
to
the
important
issue
of
better
serving
our
transit
customers.
As
we
prepare
for
the
opening
of
the
Confederation
Line
LRT
in
2018.
We
have
heard
from
our
rural
and
suburban
councillors
that
too
many
residents
are
finding
it
hard
to
commute
to
work
or
school
because
their
peak,
our
buses,
are
full
budget.
D
2017
does
two
things
on
this
front
in
collaboration
with
the
Government
of
Canada,
we're
acquiring
17
new
buses
to
meet
growth,
demands
at
a
cost
of
eighteen
point,
four
million
dollars
and,
secondly,
we'll
be
protecting
1.7
million
dollars
in
the
base
budget
to
provide
approximately
950
thousand
new
customer
trips
each
year.
These
new
peak
hours
will
serve
the
fast-growing
communities
of
Stateville,
kanata
selves,
Canada,
North,
Bar,
Haven
South,
Bar
Haven
and
Riverside
South
Leitrim,
Finley,
Creek
and
blossom
Park,
Lower
Town
and
Sandy
Hill
rock
cliff
lands
and
Orleans
Chapel,
Hill
self
and
Avalon.
D
These
investments
will
provide
transit
customers
from
growth
areas,
with
more
options
to
get
into
and
out
of
the
downtown
core
more
easily
at
peak
hours.
These
new
routes
will
start
in
late
2017
after
we
take
delivery
of
our
new
buses
and
we'll
lay
the
foundation
for
growth
in
rudder
ship
for
the
Confederation,
Line
and
stage
2
LRT.
This
expanded
service
will
support
the
city's
investment
in
the
Confederation
line
by
increasing
capacity
to
get
to
and
from
the
LRT
from
busy
parts
of
the
city.
D
As
we
move
to
increase
the
number
of
buses
and
improve
bus
routes
will
also,
we
are
also
keeping
a
steady
focus
on
our
long
term
affordability
plan
because
of
council's
steadfast
commitment
to
the
Confederation
line
and
stage
2
LRT.
Both
the
provincial
and
federal
governments
are
investing
with
confidence
in
the
future
of
transit
in
Ottawa
this
coming
year.
As
a
result
of
the
funding
from
all
three
levels
of
government
budget
2017
includes
the
important
planning
and
design
work
needed
to
build
stage.
D
D
To
extend
LRT
farther
east,
rather
farther
west
to
Bay,
Shore
and
Algonquin
College
farther
east
to
trim
and
farther
south
to
Riverside,
south
and
BOS
ville
with
a
link
to
the
Ottawa
International
Airport.
We
all
know
that
a
connected
city
will
support
our
region's
economic
success
for
generations
to
come
stage.
2
will
enable
us
to
expand
Ottawa's
LRT
network
with
more
than
50
kilometres
of
rail
and
budget.
2017
also
commits
3
million
dollars
to
the
Bay
Shore
to
Kannada
LRT
environmental
assessment.
D
A
critical
milestone
for
the
future
expansion
of
LRT
farther
west
I
want
to
thank
West
End
councilors,
including
councilors
Taylor,
Wilkinson,
hubely,
Qadri
and
Elgin
teary,
for
their
strong
advocacy
and
I'd,
also
like
to
thank
Member
of
Parliament
Karen
McCrimmon
for
helping
to
secure
the
federal
funding
for
this
environmental
assessment
will
also.
Work
will
also
continue
work
on
West
transit
way
extension
with
47
million
dollars
in
funding.
It
will
give
transit
customers
a
better
experience
between
Bayshore
and
moody
Drive,
thanks
to
the
new
dedicated
transit
lanes,
which
will
get
buses
out
of
mixed
traffic.
D
Many
of
us,
in
fact,
met
on
site
yesterday
to
see
the
tremendous
progress
of
this
project
together
with
Minister
Bob
Cirelli,
who
has
secured
funding
for
provincial
part
of
the
work.
The
sound
attenuation
barriers
along
the
Queens
way.
I
also
want
to
thank
all
members
of
council
for
the
tremendous
teamwork
that
has
allowed
our
city
to
make
so
much
progress
in
such
a
short
period
of
time.
With
respect
to
LRT,
we
have
accomplished
more
in
six
short
years
of
LRT
planning
and
construction
than
we
ever
dreamed
possible.
F
D
Is
only
one
piece
of
keeping
our
city
moving
and
improving
our
quality
of
life
budget
2017
also
continues
our
council
strong
support
for
active
mobility.
It
includes
over
8
million
dollars
of
investments
in
cycling
infrastructure
through
the
community
connectivity
plan,
the
transportation
master
plan,
the
cycling
strategic
initiative
and
through
investments
in
paved
shoulders.
This
will
add
more
than
38
kilometres
of
cycling
facilities
to
the
city's
growing
network
budget.
D
2017
includes
1.5
million
and
projects
in
the
pedestrian
plan
over
52
million
dollars
for
act
of
mobility,
investments
through
the
public
transit
infrastructure
fund
and
five
million
dollars
for
various
sidewalk
improvements
across
the
city.
When
combined
with
funding
from
the
other
levels
of
government,
seventy
three
million
dollars
will
be
invested
in
cycling.
This
term
of
council
compared
to
twenty
seven
million
dollars
in
the
last
term
of
Council
to
say
some
men
are
all
are
they
exhibit
when.
F
D
Represents
a
two
hundred
and
seventy
percent
increase
over
the
last
term
of
council
for
cycling
initiatives,
something
we
can
be
very
proud
of.
This
partnership
is
also
allowing
the
city
to
advance
a
number
of
key
cycling
projects
that
will
connect
existing
cycling
network
to
our
public
transit
network.
I
wish
to
thank
the
many
councillors,
including
Transportation
Committee,
Chair,
Keith,
and
line
and
psyching
cycling
advocates
Katherine
McKenney,
Jeff,
Lee,
/,
Betsy,
flirty,
David,
Shawna,
Shenko
and
Toby
Nussbaum
for
their
support.
D
2017
will
also
see
us
break
ground
on
the
new
21
million
dollar,
pedestrian
and
cycling
bridge
at
flag
street.
This
project
is
possible
thanks
to
the
strong
partnership
with
the
Government
of
Canada,
and
we
are
confident
that
the
province
of
Ontario
will
also
commit
to
this
project
in
the
near
future.
My
thanks
to
local
MP
and
Minister
the
Honorable
Catherine
McKenna,
for
her
advocacy
on
this
important
link
and
to
councillor
David
chan
de
sheng
co
for
his
strong
support
of
this
bridge.
D
The
Clegg
Street
Bridge
will
not
only
provide
pedestrian
and
cycling
connections
to
Lansdowne
Park.
It
will
also
provide
access
and
improve
access
to
herdmen
and
Lee's
right
light.
Rail
train
stations,
the
bridge,
will
create
an
alternative
crossing
to
the
Bank
Street
bridge,
connect
the
downtown
bike
network
to
old,
Ottawa,
East
and
Main
Street,
and
will
improve
access
to
the
old
Ottawa
self,
nor
self
bike
way
via
Riverdale
Avenue,
as
we've
seen
with
the
Odawa
crossing
and
the
course
town
crossing.
D
When
we
build
these
facilities,
there
used
and
used
extremely
well
by
residents
and
visitors
alike,
I'm
pleased
to
report
that
budget
2017
also
heralds
some
very
significant
investments
in
the
core
municipal
services
that
mattered
most
to
residents.
We've
already
heard
from
our
chair
of
police
services,
counselor
ail
Shan
Terry
that
the
Ottawa
Police
Service
is
adding
75
new
police
officers
over
three
years,
including
25
officers
in
2017.
D
This
will
lead
to
improve
response
times,
particularly
and
our
rural
and
suburban
wards
through
the
consultation
process.
We
also
heard
that
winter
maintenance
is
an
important
issue
for
residents.
I'm
sure
that
you
can
all
remember
last
winter,
as
our
Public
Works
staff
grappled
with
extreme
weather
events
that
delivered
one
quarter
of
our
total
annual
snowfall
in
just
18
hours,
Ottawa
spans
more
than
90
kilometers
from
west
to
east
and
has
one
of
the
largest
municipal
transportation
networks
in
the
country
to
meet
this
challenge.
D
Budget
2017

increase
to

budget
for

maintenance
for
a
total
increase

over
the
last
two

Maintaining
our
roads
is
not
only
a
quality
of
life
issue
for
commuters
and
transit
users.
It's
also
critical
to
the
long-term
success
of
our
economy.
Budget
2017

there's
also
an

over

next
two
years
to
a
rural

upgrade
allowing
us
to
repair
more
roads
in
the
for

In
total,
the
city
is
forecasting
that
1.1
billion
dollars
will
be
spent
on
capital
or
city
building
projects
in
2017.
D
Now
for
every
1
billion
dollars,
investment
in
new
infrastructure,
10,000
person,
years
of
employment,
including
5,500
new
jobs
in
the
construction
sector,
are
created
in
the
local
economy.
This
level
of
capital
investment
provides
strong
and
immediate
support
to
the
local
economy
and
will
encourage
growth
and
protect
jobs
and
improve
household
and
business
confidence.
We
also
heard
loud
and
clear
from
residents,
including
the
tens
of
thousands
of
families
who
use
our
city's
parks
and
recreation
facilities
on
a
weekly
basis
that
access
to
quality
recreation
facilities
is
viewed
as
a
core
municipal
service
budget.
D
2017
increases
the
four
year,
investment
in
parks
and
recreation
capital
renewal
to
sixteen
point:
five
million
dollars
up
from
six
million
dollars
in
the
last
term
of
council.
My
thanks
to
councillor
brockington
for
making
sure
the
significant
increase
is
included
in
the
draft
budget.
They'll
also
be
funding
for
growth.
D
Attract
more
visitors
and
businesses
to
our
city,
post
2017,
we
turn
our
attention
to
hosting
major
national
and
international
events.
This
past
spring
I
hosted
a
tourism
summit
chaired
by
councilor
Jean
Cloutier,
to
look
for
opportunities
to
sustain
our
momentum
in
the
years
to
come.
Toward
that
end,
budget
2017
includes
funding
to
support
Ottawa's
bid
to
host
the
2021
Canada
Summer
Games,
spearheaded
by
our
Sports
Commissioner
Jody
Minich.
D
This
could
be
our
next
2017
and
winning
the
Canada
Summer
Games
could
see
us
leverage
funds
from
the
provincial
and
federal
governments
to
invest
in
our
aging
sports
infrastructure.
While
we
get
ready
to
host
tens
of
thousands
of
visitors
in
July
and
August
of
2021
I
want
to
take
a
few
moments
to
outline
how
budget
2017
will
help
support
the
economic
transformation
of
our
city.
More
and
more
Ottawa
is
being
promoted
for
its
quality
of
life
as
a
hub.
D
D
Don't
have
to
tell
any
of
you
that
Ottawa
really
is
the
greatest
city
to
raise
a
family
to
work
in
to
invest
in
or
simply
to
visit
next
year,
the
world
will
be
watching
as
we
celebrate
2017,
and
these
celebrations
will
bring
lasting
economic
benefits
to
our
city,
with
what
we
have
planned,
we're
expecting
a
20%
increase
in
tourism
in
2017,
which
translates
into
an
additional
1.75
million
visitors
to
our
city.
This
influx
will
bring
a
significant
boost
for
our
local
hospitality
and
retail
sectors.
They
said
about
SEO
support
this.
D
The
but
that
budget
2017
invests
in
our
nation's
hundred
and
fiftieth
anniversary.
Our
partners
are
coming
to
the
table
with
more
than
four
matching
dollars.
I
call
that
a
pretty
good
deal
for
Ottawa
taxpayers,
one
that
will
create
jobs,
fill
hotel
rooms
and
restaurants
and
forever
transform
the
way
we
see
our
city
and
ourselves.
This
investment
is
part
of
a
bolder
and
more
aggressive
vision
of
how
we
see
our
city's
future
and
a
stronger
vision
of
how
we
see
ourselves.
D
Ottawa
is
no
long,
the
sleepy
government
town
where
restaurants
in
the
core
used
to
close
shortly
after
dinnertime.
Instead,
we
have
become
a
city
where
people
are
excited
to
visit.
They
linger
to
enjoy
the
vitality
of
our
downtown
core
because
they
because
there
are
now
so
many
interesting
things
to
see
and
do
MEMS.
You
know
set
on
toujours
field,
even.
F
D
Notion
that
the
federal
government
alone
would
drive
our
economic
prosperity,
there
are
tens
of
thousands
of
entrepreneurs
and
innovators
who
call
Ottawa
their
home
in
2017,
we
officially
opened
the
Innovation
Center,
a
showcase
for
our
city's
best
and
brightest,
creating
the
jobs
of
tomorrow.
Today
many
are
in
high
tech.
Many
are
in
government
and
many
are
in
tourism
and
the
service
sector
and
more
will
work
in
the
increasingly
dynamic
arts,
culture,
heritage
and
festivals
networks
working
with
our
partners
at
Ottawa
2017.
D
We're
able
to
create
two
special
funds
to
help
nurture
and
grow
our
local
talent
and
events
through
these
celebrations
in
partnership
with
Ottawa
2017
$500,000
in
funding,
will
be
provided
for
two
new
initiatives.
The
first
250,000
dollar
fund
will
support
the
long
term,
marketing
and
growth
of
our
festivals,
while
the
second
250,000
dollar
fund
will
support
exciting
arts
culture
and
heritage
projects
chosen
by
the
community.
We
heard
from
the
arts
communities
that
they
need
our
support
and
we
listened
lose
a
volatile,
still
upended.
Our
community
we've.
D
And
arts
organizations
to
make
2017
even
more
memorable
for
our
residents
and
visitors,
there's
no
doubt
that
2017
will
be
a
tremendous
year
for
a
local
artists
and
arts
organizations
for
over
30
years.
Local
arts,
leader
Peter
Honeywell,
along
with
thousands
of
artists
and
art,
enthusiasts
hoped
and
worked
for
a
new
municipal
art
gallery
and
a
new
hub
for
the
local
art
scene.
In
2017,
we
will
proudly
witness
the
opening
of
the
new
Ottawa
Art
Gallery,
which
will
be
approximately
three
times
the
size
of
the
existing
space.
D
Many
of
the
city's
hidden
gems,
including
the
donated
works
by
the
Firestone
collection,
will
be
enjoyed
by
Ottawa
residents
and
visitors
alike.
When
the
new
ohe
opens
in
the
fall
of
2017
in
the
following
year,
we
will
open
the
redeveloped
Arts
Court
facility,
along
with
the
new
black
box
theater
developed
in
partnership
with
the
University
of
Ottawa,
the
oag
and
arts
core
tree
development
project
represents
a
public-private
investment
of
over
100
million
dollars,
the
public
sector
component
valued
at
thirty
eight
point.
D
Eight
million
is
funded
by
the
city
of
Ottawa,
the
province
of
Ontario
and
other
partners,
including
the
Ottawa
Art
Gallery
and
the
University
of
Ottawa.
The
city's
contribution
of
seventeen
point
six,
seven
million
drawn
from
the
citywide
reserve
fund
and
the
province
has
provided
7.3
million
in
funding,
and
is
my
hope
and
I'm
optimistic
about
this-
that
we
will
hear
from
the
Government
of
Canada
on
a
request
for
federal
funding
for
the
Arts
Court
project,
which
will
allow
us
to
advance
this
project
even
further,
because
there
is
so
much
happening
in
Ottawa
in
2017.
D
A
number
of
groups
have
shared
the
concern
that
we
don't
want
2018
to
be
a
big
hangover
year.
Of
course,
we
won't
be
able
to
replicate
the
excitement
of
2017.
We
may
not
see
this
level
excitement
again
in
our
lifetime.
However,
we
can
be
smart
about
how
we
invest
to
maintain
the
momentum
of
our
local
arts
and
cultural
organizations
into
2018
and
beyond.
D
That's
why
I'm
pleased
to
announce
that
budget
2017
will
contribute
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
and
base
funding
to
launch
the
arts
momentum
fund
aimed
at
ensuring
we
continue
to
showcase
and
promote
our
region's
finest
talent
not
only
locally
but
to
the
province,
to
Canada
and
to
the
rest
of
the
world
for
years
to
come,
this
fund
will
serve
to
bring
out
the
best
in
Ottawa
arts,
cultural
heritage
and
festivals
we
are
already
are.
We
are
ready,
rather,
as
a
community,
to
shine
on
the
world
stage.
D
The
arts
momentum
fund
will
be
adjudicated
by
local
community
leaders
on
the
same
model
as
our
Ottawa
2017
partnership
for
funding,
arts,
culture
and
heritage
projects.
Given
the
long
term
nature
of
this
goal,
I'm
also
proposing
the
same
base.
Investment
of
a
$50,000
through
this
new
arts
momentum
fun
with
councils
support.
The
arts
momentum
fund
will
mean
a
total
of
$300,000
annually
in
new
base
funding
for
the
arts
by
the
end
of
2018,
an
investment
that
will
be
RAC
rapidly
recoup
by
increased
tourism
to
Ottawa
and
increased
economic
activity
in
our
city.
D
This
is
in
addition
to
the
proposed
1.5
percent
or
one
hundred
and
forty
five
thousand
dollars
in
new
base
funding
for
the
Arts
in
2017.
So
in
addition
to
the
Ottawa
2017
funding
and
the
new
arts
momentum
funding,
we
will
invest
a
record
11
point:
two
million
dollar
dollars
in
our
arts
and
festival
programs
this
year.
This
is
an
increase
of
eleven
percent
over
last
year.

We.
D
The
leadership
of
the
chair
of
the
Ottawa
Public
Library
councillor
Tim
Tierney
budget
2017,
also
includes
two
million
dollars
in
funding
to
enable
us
to
continue
the
important
work
of
planning
our
new
Central
Library,
which
is
going
to
be
one
of
the
most
exciting
projects
the
city
has
ever
undertaken
in
Ottawa.
We
work
in
concert
with
community
agencies
who
are
valued
partner
in
the
delivery
of
essential
basic
services
to
residents
and
neighborhoods
across
our
city.
Although
we
are
in
an
affluent
city
at
some
point
in
our
lives.
D
For
many
of
us
accessing,
the
most
basic
necessities
can
be
a
challenge.
That
is
why
we
invest
22
million
dollars
in
community
funding
to
94
agencies
that
run
hundreds
of
essential
programs
across
the
entire
city,
and
this
funding
is
leveraged
by
dollars
from
other
sources,
including
investments
from
donors
and
other
levels
of
government.
Through
the
efforts
of
these
agencies,
the
city
also
leverages
over
23,000
community
volunteers.
Hundreds
of
thousands
of
residents
are
helped
through
these
crucial
community
programs
and
services.
D
Each
year,
we've
heard
from
community
service
providers
that
a
growing
number
of
pressing
needs
of
families
and
individuals
are
going
unmet
because
of
our
city's
rapid
growth.
That's
why
the
2017
draft
budget
includes
an
increase
of
six
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars
a
new
base
funding
for
the
nine
for
agencies
that
run
these
vital
services.
The
hundred
and
ten
thousand
is
an
increase
to
increase
the
inflationary
provision
from
1.5
to
2%
and
500,000
to
help
fund
it
agency
sustained
services,
while
dealing
with
growing
needs
and
pressures.
D
This
additional
funding
will
support
people
in
need
with
things
that
many
of
us
take
for
granted,
such
as
a
hot
meal,
laundry
services
or
a
hot
shower
a
safe
place
to
get
away
from
violence
or
simply
for
clothes
like
mittens,
hats
and
scarves.
This
funding
also
support.
This
funding
will
also
support
agencies
that
deliver
healthcare,
referrals,
street
outreach,
counseling
employment
services
and
mental
health
supports
this
funding
is
complemented
by
our
ongoing
sixty
million
dollars
of
annual
commitment
towards
the
ten-year
housing
and
homelessness
plan,
in
addition
to
the
child
care,
modernization
and

Ottawa
has
demonstrated
local

may
be
rolled
out
as
part
of

examples
of
specific
projects
could
include,
but
are
not

to
implementing
a
heat
recovery
plan
for

That
would
draw

These

move
forward
on

long-term
plans
and
address
some
priority
needs
so
far,
Ottawa
has
received
commitments
for

all
of
which
must

substantially
completed
by

the
Council
of

Our
commitment
to

the
strength

these
ongoing

is
positioned.
Ottawa
to
respond
quickly
to
the
federal

provincial
calls
for
projects
for
the
2017-18
horizon.
D
Federal
and
provincial
funding
is
allowing
much
needed
public
transit

to
proceed
ahead
of
schedule,
including
1.5
million

and
budget
2017
shows
what
we
can
accomplish
as
a
city
when
we
work
as
a
team
and
we
set
clear
goals.
D
Achieved
I'm,
proud
of
the
degree
of
collaboration
we
have
shown
with
as
a
city
to
develop
this
budget,
and
this
year
we
have
also
witnessed
a
renewed
sense
of
cooperation
with
stakeholders
and
other
levels
of
government.
By
working
together,
we
have
been
able
to
align
mandates
to
leverage
outcomes
for
residents
and
to
invest
in
our
social
and
physical
infrastructure
of
our
city.
These
investments
have
been
designed
to
be
inclusive
for
all
residents.
D
We
challenged
our
city
manager,
Steve
kennel
actists,
to
deliver
a
balanced
budget
for
the
remainder
of
this
term,
the
new
management
team
and
are
very
capable
general
manager
of
Corporate,
Services
and
city
treasurer
Marian,
similar
and
deputy
treasurer
Isabel
Jasmine
worked
diligently
to
find
the
funding
for
these
important
priorities.
I
want
to
thank
Steve,
Marianne
and
Isabel,
and
your
teams
for
your
hard
work
and
for
the
dozens
of
meetings
we
had
on
budget
2017
together.
D
I
would
be
remiss
not
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
the
entire
team
and
corporate
services
for
delivering
this
balanced
budget.
Steve
I
want
to
personally
thank
you
for
your
work
and
leadership
and
helping
to
balance
the
city's
books
and
for
making
what
I
know
were
tough
decisions
in
an
open
and
responsible
way
and
good
omlc
as
Steve
Mary.
A.
D
Will
impacting
less
than
one
percent
of
the
city's
workforce?
The
work
of
your
team
has
reset
the
foundation
of
our
budget,
so
that
council
and
the
city
can
reinvest
in
core
services
that
matter
most
of
the
Ottawa
residents.
As
you
will
followed
councils
guidance
of
delivering
a
balanced
budget
within
the
framework
of
a
citywide
2%
tax
cap
I
want
to
take
a
few
minutes
in
my
last
couple
of
minutes
to
reflect
on
what
this
means
to
Ottawa
residents
striving
to
maintain
an
affordable
City
is
not
a
slogan.
D
Living
within
your
means
is
a
challenge
for
thousands
of
Auto
ons
every
single
day
in
Ottawa.
There
are
two
hundred
and
ninety
three
thousand
and
sixty
five
individuals
or
families
that
receive
a
municipal
tax
bill.
I,
don't
know
many
that
pay
their
time,
isn't
to
lump-sum
payments.
Most
people
pay
their
taxes
and
installments
or
as
part
of
their
mortgage
payment.
We
all
know
that
the
City
of
Ottawa
can't
control
how
much
taxes
increase
from
other
levels
of
government
or
the
rate
of
inflation,
but
the
biggest
element
we
have
direct
control
over
is
property
taxes.
D
I'm
proud
that
we're
keeping
our
2%
tax
cap
promise,
because
there
are
thousands
more
young
homeowners,
just
starting
out
we're
being
hard-hit
by
impacts,
market
value
assessment
this
year
that
will
already
increase
their
taxes
significantly.
This
is
happening
in
many
wards
across
Ottawa,
such
as
kitchens
iffy,
rido,
Goulburn,
capital,
Statesville
and
kannada
north.
In
fact,
the
hardest-hit
Ward
is
kitchen
Sippy,
where
the
average
EMPAC
increase
is
over
seven
percent
budget.
F
D
Walk
and
we
are
showing
that
we
can
and
will
balance
the
competing
demands
of
being
both
an
affordable
and
a
caring.
City
I
want
to
thank
all
members
of
council
who
contributed
ideas
to
the
2017
budget
process,
including
many
great
ideas
from
their
residents.
I
also
want
to
thank
all
chairs
and
committee
members
for
their
input
to
date
and
for
their
work
ahead
to
facilitate
the
budget
through
their
respective
committees.
Now,
ca2
nicole,
see
a
polar
thank.
D
In
getting
us
to
this
draft
2017
budget
I
want
to
remind
all
members
of
council
of
why
I'm
so
adamant
at
keeping
our
budget
and
our
city
affordable
many
councillors
in
fact,
campaign
and
keeping
taxes
at
or
below
the
rate
of
inflation.
Inflation
is
now
running
at
one
point:
three
percent:
what
I'm
proposing
is
a
reasonable
compromise
between
those
who
want
no
specific
limit
on
taxes
and
those
who
want
less
than
2%.
I
would
like
to
close
by
thanking
my
own
team
in
the
mayor's
office
for
working
closely
with
our
city
manager
on
budget
2017.
D
Budgets
have
and
will
continue
to
be,
about
setting
priorities,
it's
about
being
upfront
with
constituents
and
not
trying
to
be
all
things
to
all
people.
Budgets
are
about
the
kind
of
city
we
want
to
strive
for,
one
that
is
thoughtful
and
progressive,
and
one
that
is
also
affordable.
I
believe
that
budget
2017
achieves
these
goals
and
I
look
forward
to
your
ongoing
public
consultation
and
your
input
as
we
be
in
the
2017
budget
process.
Thank
you
very
much.
Merci
beaucoup.
F
D
K
To
that
end,
I
would
like
to
first
thank
the
mayor
and
council
as
a
whole,
as
I've
been
through
all
kinds
of
budgets
and
brought
budget
processes
at
this
city
in
my
career
and
I
can
tell
you
that
it's
much
easier
for
staff
to
develop
a
budget
for
you.
When
you
give
us
clear
direction.
Sure
yeah
I
go
mom
I'd.
K
This
budget
process
is
the
time
every
member
of
Council
took
to
meet
with
me
beginning
my
first
week
here
in
May
right
up
until
yesterday.
Each
of
you
has
the
pulse
of
your
ward
and
of
the
organization,
and
you
all
took
the
time
to
keep
me
informed
and
give
me
the
benefit
of
your
perspective.
In
your
advice,
you
made
sure
I
understood
the
concerns
of
your
residents
and
knew
their
priorities.
Room
I've,
a
fair
palliative,
also.
K
Also,
let
me
know
what
was
challenging
the
organization
and
the
things
you
saw
that
were
blocking
success.
I
can
tell
you
that
what
you
told
me
was
confirmed
by
all
the
feedback
I
received
from
staff
heading
into
the
challenge:
changing
how
we
do
our
business
I
would
like
the
public
listening
to
know
that
your
advice
was
invaluable.
It
informed
me
not
only
in
our
work
on
the
organizational
changes,
but
also
the
developments
of
the
2017
draft
budgets.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
those
key
city
stakeholders
that
took
the
time
to
meet
me.
K
F
K
That
this
has
changed
for
the
better
change
that
allows
staff
to
get
back
to
focusing
on
why
we
all
work
for
the
municipal
government.
We
want
to
serve
the
public
to
the
best
of
our
ability
and
to
make
a
difference
in
the
community
in
which
we
live
with
your
support
and
with
our
common
goals.
Your
senior
leadership
team
who
I'm
joined
by
today
are
very
proud
to
be
able
to
deliver
all
the
savings
needed
to
address
a
2017
and
the
2018
growth
pressures
in
one
year
this
year.
K
The
deputy
city
treasurer
will
walk
you
through
the
high
level
numbers
and
the
next
phase
of
public
input
will
begin
we're
available
to
answer
your
questions
over
the
coming
weeks
and
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
senior
leadership
team.
We
are
looking
forward
to
hearing
from
you
in
the
public
on
what
we
have
presented
and
then
towards
delivering
on
all
of
your
major
city,
building
programs
and
projects
in
2017
and
18.
I'd
now
like
to
ask
Isabel
Jasmine
our
deputy
city
treasurer
to
present
further
details
on
the
trial
draft
2017
budget
mercy.
L
Thank
you
Steve,
so
today's
presentation
is
an
overview
of
all
the
budgets
and
is
a
combined
amount.
This
includes
police,
public
health,
library
and
transit.
Only
a
summary
is
provided
here
today
and
the
detailed
budgets
will
be
presented
individually
to
each
committee
board
and
Commission.
It
is
important
to
note
that
this
budget
does
not
entirely
reflect
the
new
organizational
structure.
While
the
new
department
departmental
names
are
reflected.
There
was
not
enough
time
to
fully
realign
the
cost
center
structure
to
reflect
the
new
structure.
L
This
also
means
that
the
FTE
analysis
is
not
presented
either
once
Council
adopts,
the
budget
staff
will
do
the
work
necessary
to
ensure
cost
centers
are
appropriately
reassigned
and
the
final
2017
budget
will
fully
reflect
the
new
structure.
Today's
budget
reflects
the
direction
approved
by
Council
on
October
12th.
In
this
presentation,
I
will
provide
an
overview
of
the
tax
and
rate
supported
operating
budget
and
capital
budget
and
will
quickly
review
the
budget
timetable
for
those
who
would
like
to
get
involved
during
the
budget
review
process.
L
The
budget
directions
were
approved
in
October,
and
one
of
the
key
items
was
to
limit
the
municipal
portion
of
the
residential
property
tax
bill
to
2%.
This
would
also
apply
to
commercial
properties
for
a
citywide
tax
levy
of
2%,
as
directed
by
Council
and
as
identified
in
the
transit
affordability
plan.
This
budget
also
includes
a
2.5
percent
increase
to
the
transit
levy.
The
annual
additional
taxation
revenues
for
growth
is
forecasted
at
1.3
percent.
This
is
the
same
as
what
was
set
last
year,
Nokomis

F
L
To
use
the
tax
Stabilization
Reserve
to
cover
the
cost
of
implementing
the
efficiency
strategies,
the
draft
2017
budget
limits,
the
citywide
and
police
tax
increases
to
2%
for
a
person
owning
a
house
in
an
urban
area
where
the
average
valuation
is
395
thousand
four
hundred
the
increase
corresponds
to
fifty
five
dollars
per
year
for
municipal
services.
Nokomis
AOC

Erin.
L
Of
seventy
two
dollars
per
year-
rural
homes,
$60
per
year
and
commercial
property
107
per
year,
the
dollar
value
is
a
preliminary
number.
The
actual
amount
will
be
based
on
the
actual
valuation
of
the
properties
and
changes
to
the
tax
policy
adopted
by
council
before
finalizing
the
tax
rates.
These
amounts
don't
account
for
changes
resulting
from
reassessment
the
increase
being
proposed
for
the
water
and
sewer
budget.
L
The
rate
budgets,
as
we
refer
to
them
is
five
percent,
and
this
was
identified
in
the
long-range
financial
plan
that
was
adopted
in
2012
for
an
average
household
with
a
yearly
consumption
of
220
cubic
meters
of
water.
This
represents
an
annual
increase
of
approximately
$45
Council,
recently
approved
a
new
stormwater
rate
for
most
properties.
We
will
be
phasing
in
the
stormwater
rate
for
those
that
are
not
currently
paying
a
water
bill.
The
first
phase
are
25%
of
the
stormwater
fee
will
be
implemented
in
2017.
L
The
2017
fee
is
not
included
in
the
2017
budget
books,
but
will
be
included
in
the
2017
tax
rate
and
ratio
report
that
will
be
brought
to
City
Council
through
the
finance
and
Economic
Development
Committee
for
those
receiving
a
water
bill.
The
new
water
wastewater
and
stormwater
fee
will
be
implemented
in
2018.
The
preliminary
budgets
as
table
takes
into
account
the
various
FTE
positions
required
to
provide
municipal
services
in
2017
for
all
services.
We
need
a
total
of
fourteen
thousand
nine
hundred
ninety
FTEs.
L
This
is
a
net
reduction
of
seventy
nine
FTEs
based
on
2016
levels.
Police
are
recommending
an
increase
of
20
TUI's
and
city
departments,
25.3
FTEs,
primarily
for
the
24
additional
paramedics.
The
reduction
of
50
FTEs
in
2016
was
achieved
and
132
0.24

in

to
use
for
any
other
purposes,
so
user
fees
and
services
charges
in
service
charges
of
819
million
and
property
taxes
of
1.5
billion
are
the
main
sources
of
revenue
to
support
the
operations
of
the
city.
We
will
now
look
at
the
operating
budgets.
As
mentioned
earlier.
L
L
The
net
pressures
associated
with
2018
amounted
to
7.2
million
and
were
also
addressed
in
this
budget,
as
per
the
city
manager's
plan
to
deliver
all
the
required
efficiency
savings
for
the
remaining
term
of
council
in
time
to
be
included
in
the
2017
operating
capital
budgets,
the
SIP
and
the
spending
pressure
is
related
to
2016
based
adjustments,
maintaining
operations,
growth
and
council
priorities
were
offset
by
increases
in
funding
from
revenue,
taxes
and
fees
of
seventy
seven
point:
five
million
and
thirty
1.3
million
in
efficiencies.
Now
we'll
provide
additional
details
for
each
of
them.
L
The
funding
capacity
that
has
been
created
as
a
result
of
tax
increases,
user
fee
increases
and
revenue
that
are
receiving.
We
are
receiving
from
other
levels
of
government
total,
seven,
seven
point:
five
million
of
that
user
fees
and
charges-
and
this
would
be
non
transit
services-
is
eleven
point.
Seven
million
three
point:
eight
million
is
from
regular
inflationary
increases,
which
is
in
line
with
councils
fiscal
framework
and
the
remainder
is
from
increased
hydro
dividends,
tilt
revenue,
additional
red
light
revenue
and
interest
earnings.
L
This
draft
budget
recommends
a
one
point:
two
five
percent
increase
in
the
total
transit
fare
starting
January
1,
which
is
projected
to
generate
2.4
million
dollars
in
additional
revenues.
The
one
point
two
five
percent
taking
effect
in
January
is
the
equivalent
of
last
year's
increase
of
two
point:
five
percent,
which
took
effect
in
July.
The
matching
funding
from
provincial
cost-sharing
is
increasing
by
thirteen
point:
five
million
dollars.
Five
point.
L
Seven
million
of
that
is
from
the
provincial
upload
to
cover
the
costs
of
Ontario
Works
three
point:
eight
million
from
caseload
increases
and
formula
four
million
in
other
growth
and
program
changes
in
social
services,
long-term
care
and
paramedics
for
tax
and
assessment
growth.
We
are
projecting
a
1.3
percent
increase
in
the
value
of
the
assessment
role
from
new
properties,
which
generates
19
million
in
taxes.
The
two
percent
overall
tax
revenue
increase
plus
a
two
point:
five
percent
increase
in
the
transit
levy
generates
another
thirty
point:
nine
in
developing
the
draft
budget.
L
One
of
our
first
tasks
is
to
review
the
current
year
performance
against
budget.
If
I
any
adjustments
that
need
to
be
made
to
the
base
budget.
We
look
at
what
happened
in
the
previous
year,
where
there
were
cost
or
revenue
increases
or
decreases
that
we
had
not
anticipated
in
that
our
permanent
nature.
This
table
shows
the
key
factors
from
2016
that
will
have
an
impact
on
2017
we've
eliminated
the
one-time
funding
transfer
from
fleet
reserves
of
11.5
million
that
was
identified
last
year
to
address
the
projected
budget
shortfalls.
L
Wsib
changes
to
eligible
illnesses
has
created
an
additional
1
million
pressure
for
fire.
We've
added
an
additional
based
adjustment
of
4.5
million
to
winter
operations,
based
on
KPMG's
recommendations,
which
is,
in
addition
to
last
year's
based
adjustment
of
the
same
amount.
Services
that
must
operate
on
a
24/7
basis
cannot
achieve
the
same
level
of
vacancy
targets
as
other
services,
which
adds
a
pressure
of
1.2
million
dollars.
L
Next,
we
identify
the
cost
to
maintain
the
services
that
we
are
all
writing
right
already.
Providing
labor
costs
as
usual,
are
the
largest
increase
overall,
and
this
is
to
be
expected,
given
the
fact
that
40%
of
overall
cost
in
the
city
are
related
to
labor,
the
inflation
in
materials
and
contracts
is
budgeted
at
sixteen
point,
eight
million
and
due
to
fuel
hedging,
there
is
a
budgeted
reduction
in
fuel
costs
for
transit
and
Public
Works
of
approximately
four
million
dollars.
L
F
Terms
of
growth,
we've
allocated
fourteen
point:
eight
million
dollars
for
growth.
This
is
reflected
in
the
higher
number
of
households
and
the
maintenance
of
new
facilities
and
new
parks
in
the
city,
because
sometimes
we
have
to
assume
the
cost.
So
this
reflects
the
trend
towards
the
increase
of
these
services.
1.3
million
for
police
services,
as
well
as
recruiting
25
police
officers,
reserves.
L
L
2.7
million
to
fund
a
low-income
bus
pass
the
equi
pass
for
those
living
below
the
low
income
cutoff.
As
mentioned
earlier.
This
budget
addresses
the
budget
pressures
in
2017
and
2018.
The
2018
net
budget
pressure
of
70
to
7.2
million
dollars
has
been
addressed
in
this
budget
and
will
be
used
in
as
a
one-time
contribution
to
operations
and
capital
in
2017.
L
The
first
phase
of
the
administrative
restructuring
began
on
July
13
2016,
it
reduced
the
executive
team
from
twenty
one
to
nine
members
with
clear
lines
of
accountability.
Departments
were
consolidated
based
on
service
areas
allowing
for
simplified
reporting
relationships
and
clearer
mandates,
and
efficiencies
of
1.5
million
dollars
was
achieved
in
the
second
phase
of
the
organizational
realignment
was
completed
in
the
first
week
of
October.
L
This
alignment
resulted
in
change
for
approximately
1,400
employees,
50
management,
FTEs
and
seventy
four
point
two
for
business
support
FTEs
were
eliminated,
resulting
in
an
additional
16
point:
9
million
savings
for
a
total
of
18
point
for
an
additional
10
point:
8
million
in
service
efficiencies
were
identified,
6
million
in
fleet
2.7
million
in
winter
operations,
1
million
for
facilities
and
1.1
million
for
various
other
operational
efficiencies.
Police
and
public
health
have
also
identified
efficiencies,
totaling
2
point
1
million.
L
The
rate
increase
is
5
percent.
So
if
you
take
last
year's
budget
revenue
increase
it
by
5
percent,
you
would
generate
an
additional
18
point:
3
million,
like
the
tax
budget,
the
rate
budget
has
to
be
balanced.
This
additional
revenue
is
off
that
offset
by
additional
expenditures.
The
increase
of
4.5
million
to
maintain
operations
is
primarily
for
projected
2017
labor
contract
settlements
of
2.5
million,
along
with
increases
for
hydro
of
1.3
million
in
2016.
The
city
had
to
reduce
the
capital
contribution
by
2.9
million
to
make
up
for
declining
water
consumption
in
27.
L
We
are
able
to
make
up
for
that
and
increase
the
capital
contribution
by
7
million.
Increased
investment
in
capital
and
increased
depth
will
also
increase
debt
servicing
for
rate
by
6.4
million.
We
will
now
look
at
the
capital
budgets
in
the
last
term
of
council.
Several
major
studies
are
completed
and
approved
by
council.
They
include
transportation,
master,
master
plan,
the
2014
development
charges,
background
study
and
al
RFP
for
that
assess
the
state
of
repairs
of
all
capital
assets
and
recommended
a
plan
for
closing
the
infrastructure
funding
gap.
L
These
plans
have
all
been
incorporated
in
the
proposed
capital
budget
for
2017
and
the
forecast
for
the
subsequent
three
years.
We
also
have
the
funding
envelope
for
council
priorities.
Debt
is
being
used
in
this
budget,
as
described
in
the
fiscal
framework
within
the
limits
established
by
council.
We
are
forecasting
5.8
percent
of
own
source
revenues
on
the
tax
side
and
12
point
7
percent
on
the
right
side
for
2017,
which
is
compared
to
eleven
point
three
percent
in
2016,
the
tax
supported
capital
budget
for
2017
includes
public
transit,
police
services
and
library.
L
This
budget
totals
six
hundred
six
hundred
four
million
dollars.
The
capital
budget
for
water
and
sewer
program
stands
at
two
hundred.
Seventy
six
point:
four
million
the
capital
budget
is
mainly
required
for
renewal
of
infrastructure
and
for
water
and
sewer
represents
about
eighty-five
percent
of
the
rate
capital
budget
compared
to
2016.
The
total
capital
budget
has
increased
by
three
hundred
forty-seven
million
dollars,
primarily
due
to
the
additional
federal
and
provincial
infrastructure
funding,
but
also
because
the
city
is
increasing
its
investment
in
in
fresh
infrastructure
renewal
to
maintain
assets
in
a
state
of
good
repair.
L
The
light
freight
fate,
the
light
rail
Phase
two
capital
forecast,
does
not
include
the
full
cost
of
Phase.
Two
staff
are
working
on
updating
the
transit
long-range
financial
plan,
which
is
planned
for
the
first
quarter
of
2017
and
will
include
estimates
of
the
full
cost
of
that
project
and
funding
model.
L
This
makes
up
38%
of
the
funding
for
capital,
there's
also
some
DC
cash
and
debt
to
find
growth
projects
in
total.
There
is
a
hundred
and
sixteen
point,
eight
million
in
new
debt
Authority.
That
is
required
to
find
the
proposed
2017
capital
program,
which
is
lower
than
last
year's
figure
of
163
point
six
million
of
new
debt.
L
What
is
important
to
notice
that,
although
total
net
debt
is
increasing
each
year,
so
is
the
city's
total
investment
in
assets
while
maintaining
debt
servicing
was
in
established
targets
in
the
past
five
years,
net
debt,
as
a
percentage
of
the
total
cost
of
assets,
has
decreased
from
nine
point
two
percent
to
eight
point.
Seven,
this
slide
summarizes
a
significant
investment.
The
city
is
making
in
transit,
water,
sewer
and
affordable
housing
projects
thanks
to
federal
and
provincial
infrastructure
funding.
L
These
projects
have
been
included
in
the
2017
draft
budget
document
and
are
listed
in
a
section
was
in
the
appropriate
Standing
Committee
document
included
in
the
transmittal
report
is
a
q3
forecast
for
2016.
We
are
currently
projecting
a
small
surplus
for
tax,
supportive
programs
and
thirteen
point:
seven
million
surplus
for
rates
primarily
due
to
the
increase
in
water
consumption
in
2017
due
to
the
weather.
Restructuring
costs
have
not
been
fully
costed
yet
and
are
not
included
in
the
q3
forecast.
The
year-end
disposition
report
will
be
submitted
to
fit
Coe
and
council
in
the
early
2017.
L
This
slide
provides
a
forecast
of
the
2016
and
2017
year-end
reserves
balances.
These
reflect
the
current
forecast
and
may
vary
once
we
close
the
year.
However,
based
on
current
forecasts
and
input
from
the
draft
2017
operating
capital
budget
reserves
overall
are
projected
to
increase
from
three
hundred
sixteen
point:
nine
million
to
375
million.
L
Lastly,
on
the
budget
timetable,
we
have
the
budget
meeting
scheduled
on
the
22nd
running
until
December
rates.
It
is
at
these
meetings
that
individuals
can
ask
about
particular
items
in
the
budget.
All
the
information
is
available
available
on
the
website
and
the
public
is
invited
to
come
to
the
committee
meeting
to
discuss
what
is
of
concern
to
them
to
provide
comments
on
the
draft
budget.
Residents
can
email
budget
at
Ottawa,
CA
or
contact
their
local
court.
L
Counselor
Council
will
meet
on
December
14th
to
consider
the
draft
budget
and
any
recommendations
stemming
from
the
budget
meetings
and
then
is
at
that
point
that
the
budget
will
be
adopted.
In
conclusion,
mr.
mayor
I
want
to
offer
my
thanks
to
senior
management
and
staff
supported
this
budget
process.
In
particular,
the

staff
I
want
to
send
my
heartfelt
appreciation
to
the
finance
teams
led
by
Brian
Flynn,
the

team
led
by
Tom

for
all
the
great
work
that
they
do.
L
A
special

I'm,
sorry
social.
Thank
you
talk,
petaca
will
be
retiring
next
year
and
this
will
likely
be
his
last
budget
for
the
city.
He
has
played
an
integral
role
each
year
and
bringing
this
budget
to
Council
and
we
leave.
He
will
leave
a
big
hole
in
the
circuit,
I
say,
but
leaves
a
very
capable
and
strong
team
to
carry
us
forward
next
year.
Thank
you.

It
includes
the
hiring
of
an
additional
25
new
sworn
member
on
the
top
of
those
been
hired
for
retirement
and
just
to
clarify
from
my
colleague
I've,
been
asked
time
and
time
again
where
those
25
will
be
deployed,
while
that
goes
to
the
chief
as
he
is
in
in
his
authority
to
to
deploy
their
people
where
is
needed.
The
most,

I
can
assure
you
that

2016
and
the
additional
25

It
is
also
identified:
two

in
efficiency
and
exponential
reductions.

continued
to
provide

as
possible

2017
will
be
a
challenging
year
for
the
Ottawa

as
our
members
ensure
the
safety
and
security
of
our
city
at
various
celebrations
of
Canada's
birthday
before
I
pass.
This
to
the
chief
I
wanted
to
remind
council
that
all
members
are
welcome
at
the
board
finance
and
an
audit
committee
meeting
on
November
17,
where
we
will
be
happy
to
answer
any
question
you
have
about
our

also
on

M
That's
the
board
meeting
when
we
receive
the
budget
and
carry
the
budget
and
also
on
December
14,
the

and
his

will
be
present
on

will
follow
the

to
attend
all

turn

Working
diligently
in
preparing
at
this
year's
next
year's
budget
from
a
policing
context,
perspective,
policing
is
certainly
evolving
rapidly
across
North
America,
here
in
Ontario
and
in
Canada,
and
in
Ottawa
from
a
demographic
and
so
social
needs
perspective.
We
have
an
aging
population
which
policing
perspective
increases
our
needs
to
to
deal
with
an
increasing
number
of
missing
people
dealing
with
dementia,
and
so
that
certainly
has
an
impact
on
our
already
stretched
resources.
N
From
a
mental
health
perspective,
we
have
a
system
that
is
failing
or
is
fractured,
with
respect
to
dealing
and
supporting
people
with
mental
illness
and
as
we're
seeing
an
increasing
calls
for
service
for
people
that
are
in
crisis.
As
you
well
know,
there's
an
increasing
level
of
violence
that
is
happening
in
major
urban
centers
and
there's
an
increasing
propensity
for
young
people
to
resort
to
violence
more
quick
quickly
and
we've
seen
a
number
of
senseless
deaths
and
injuries
as
a
result
of
that
violence.
N
From
a
legislative
perspective,
we
have
examples
like
the
new
street
check
regulations
imposed
by
the
province,
which
will
have
a
significant
impact
on
how
our
officers
collect
and
deal
with
information
on
the
streets,
and
we
have
recent
Court
decisions
as
well
and
one
example.
I
use
is
last
year
in
order
to
obtain
ISP
address.
It
would
take
a
simple
two
minute
phone
call.
Now
it's
in
to
obtain
that
information.
N
We
have
increased
accountability
and
transparency
requirements
to
ensure
that
our
taxpayers
to
ensure
that
our
tax
dollars
are
well
spent
and
that
there's
a
transparency
around
that
and
from
the
community's
perspective
there,
the
growing
there's
a
growing
needs
and
the
diversity
of
the
requirements
from
the
policing
perspective.
We
have
you
know.

are
that
have
propped
up,
which
is
something
that
we
did
not
have
to
do
with
deal
with
in
the
past,
increases
traffic
safety
and
there's
a
required
for
more
police
presence
of
visibility
and
quicker
response
times.
N
N
We
I
can
assure
you
that
we
are
maintaining
the
tenants
and
the
principles
of
community
policing
that
the
need
to
be
proactive,
the
need
to
be
problem
solvers
and
they
need
to
have
a
points
of
contacts.
So
that's
why
we
are
implementing
our
service
initiative
to
look
at
the
2017
horizon.
We
still
have
three
key
operational
priorities
to
deal
with
the
gun
and
gang
violence
taking
place
that
are
in
our
community,
along
with
other
major
urban
centers.
The
issue
that
is
still
prevalent.
Violence
against
women
and
traffic
safety,
as
council
has
heard
repeatedly.
N
2017
is
a
big
year
for
our
community
to
celebrate
Canada's
150th
the
celebrations.
We
do
have
a
number
of
known
events
that
are
taking
place
and
that
we
are
working
closely
with
our
city
partners
to
identify
those
that
do
require
policing
presence.
There's
about
ten
of
those
and
we've
estimated
the
impact
at
1.5
million
dollars,
which
will
be
outside
our
current
budget
requirements
and
we're
hoping
to
seek
funding
from
either
paid
duty,
resources
or
other
levels
of
government,
and
those
are
the
known
events
there.
N
There
are
events
that
are
being
talked
about
that
will
have
a
significant
impact
on
policing
and
I'll
just
use
the
example
of
last
night's
elections
results
in
the
United
States
having
a
having
a
president
like
Obama
visit.
Canada
is
a
much
more
friendly
visit
and
does
require
a
lot
of
planning,
but
from
a
demonstration
perspective
it
doesn't
have
the
realities
of
the
new
president
in
the
States.
So
so
that's
our
reality
and
we
have
to
deal
and
manage
that.
You
know
the
first
external
visit
of
a
u.s.
president
is
usually
in
Canada
and
so
I.
N
N
That's
the
date
that
we
implement
our
front
line
delivery
model
and
a
number
of
events
have
impacted
the
relationship,
the
trust
and
confidence
in
policing,
not
just
here
in
Ottawa
but
across
North
America,
so
that
I
think
that
reinforces
the
need
for
us
to
continue
to
work
hard
to
ensuring
that
we
maintain
and
build
on
that
strong
relationship
that
we
have
with
our
with
our
growing
community.
I'll
turn
it
over
now
to
a
Director
General,
Fraser
Thank.
B
You
chief
mayor
members
of
council,
we'll
just
walk
through
a
few
of
the
high-level
numbers
that
cops
encapsulate.
The
police
budget
you've
already
heard
some
of
these
numbers
when
the
deputy
treasurer
spoke
about
the
budget
in
total,
but
a
separate
tax
rate
you'll
see
these
numbers
come
down
when
the
the
police
tax
rate
is
singled
out
on
its
own.
So
in
total
our
budget
increase
the
net
budget
increase
for
a
police.
This
year
is
proposed
at
8.9
million.
That
brings
our
net
operating
budget
to
a
total
of
just
under
290
million.
B
It's
two
hundred
and
eighty
five
point:
nine
million
the
police
tax
rate
then
would
be
two
percent
and
for
an
average
homeowner,
that's
eleven
dollars.
We'll
have
a
look
then
at
what
the
the
eight
point
nine
million
comes
down
to,
and
it's
pretty
simple
as
we've.
You
know
spoken
about
in
the
past
police
think
it
is,
isn't
a
very
complicated
business
from
from
many
perspectives.
B
We
also
carry
about
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
that
amount
for
our
facility
strategic
plan
which
has
been
about
since
2013.
Actually
it's
a
seventeen
year
plan
so
we're
starting
to
hit
the
midpoint
of
our
plan,
the
25
officer
plan.
This
is
the
27.
Oh
sorry,
the
2017
portion,
it's
25
officers,
that's
the
cost
to
hire
that
group
half
in
in
about
April
half
in
September
and
also
includes
the
annualization
impact
of
last
year's
class
coming
forward
and
moving
up
a
rank.
The
imit
roadmap
we're
in
year
three
of
the
imit
roadmap
funding.
B
It's
two
million
dollars,
you'll
see
when
we
talk
on
the
capital
side.
I'll
describe
some
of
the
the
matching
capital
work
that
you'll
see
happening.
It's
going
to
change
the
way
we
do
business
in
Ottawa
in
terms
of
policing
and
it'll
help
to
ensure
that
in
future
we
can
continue
to
provide
efficiencies.
Changing
how
you
do
work.
Police
in
policing
means
bringing
new
tools
to
the
table
to
automate
user
fees
and
charges.
The
is-3
is
three
hundred
thousand
dollars.
We
adjust
the
user
fees
and
charges
by
the
rate
of
the
tax
rate
each
year.
B
So
that's
that
amount.
We've
continued
our
efficiency
program.
It's
been
about
two
million
dollars
for
the
last
few
years.
If
you
look
at
over
five
years,
that's
eleven
point:
three
million
dollars:
that's
a
plan
will
continue
into
the
future
because
we
are
finding,
through
these
transformation
initiatives
that
there
are
different
ways
for
policing
to
do
business
and
and
roughly
that's
the
two
million
dollar
savings
per
year.
Eight
point
nine
million,
then,
is
the
net
increase
in
the
budget?
What
we've
highlighted
here
is
the
strategy
for
Canada's
hundred
and
fiftieth
celebrations.
B
Our
planning
teams
so
far
has
identified
ten
major
events
where
our
our
effort
will
be
beyond
the
expected
that
we
could
provide
through
normal
operations.
We
will
do
that
Duty
through
some
form
of
overtime.
We
expect
to
be
able
to
fund
the
overtime
either
through
paid
duties,
which
means
another
party
pays
for
it
or
by
recovering
that
cost
from
other
levels
of
government,
and
that's
why
we've
shown
this
as
a
net.
We
don't
plan
to
tax
for
a
peak
expense.
B
That's
not
a
strong
tax
strategy,
but
what's
clear
is
that
if
we
are
unable
or
unsuccessful
in
recovering
those
costs
from
other
levels
of
government
that
there's
a
there
will
be
a
chance
that
we
have
a
deficit
at
year-end
from
Canada's
150th
celebrations,
so
we'll
be
reporting
to
the
board
and
working
with
city
staff.
On
this,
it's
our
goal
to
ensure
that
these
costs
don't
fall
to
the
Ottawa
taxpayer
when
they
more
appropriately
belong
at
another
level
of
government.
B
One
more
sorry,
one
more
the
here's,
her
capital
budget,
it's
a
little
larger
than
usual
we're,
usually
in
the
ten
million
dollar
range.
You
can
see
that
seven
million
is
for
the
renewal
of
our
assets,
primarily
for
us,
that's
fleet,
iit
infrastructure
and
our
facilities.
You'll
see
in
our
strategic
initiatives
that
the
IT
roadmap
is
starting
to
gain
traction.
The
three
primary
areas
that
you'll
see
is
a
change
in
frontline
mobility.
B
Those
are
the
tools
that
we're
bringing
to
the
officer
in
the
vehicle
to
avoid
them,
returning
to
the
station
being
able
to
do
it
on
the
road.
The
functions
that
they
required
to
do
in
the
station
right
now,
so
we'll
be
able
to
any
enable
them
to
become
more
effective
enterprise,
wide
content
management
and
evidence-based
decision-making.
B
Our
two
other
of
the
initiatives
you'll
see
this
year
that
will
help
us
to
improve
the
kind
of
support
that
can
come
from
our
operation
Center
and
allow
tools,
like
our
online
background,
application
to
go
live
early
in
the
new
year.
The
in
the
number
you
see
for
the
facility
strategic
plan.
That's
us
starting
to
initiate
a
change
to
our
Queens
view,
location,
to
expand
our
presence
there
and
you'll
see
that
work
on
the
south.
Large
rote
site
begins
with
the
South
Patrol
facility,
as
well
as
some
of
our
aod
operations.
B
We
pay
for
that
work
through
funds
on
hand
in
their
page.
You
go
reserve
fund
a
little
bit
of
it
is
that
funded
because
it
relates
to
facilities.
The
last
leg
that
we
have
is
forecast.
The
Auditor
General
reminded
us
that
we
need
to
stay
with
budgeting
practice.
We
table
a
three
year
forecast
accordingly,
you'll
see
the
25
officer
program
and
our
efficiency
targets
continue
through
the
forecast
and
the
tax
rate.
According
to
this,
series
of
estimates
would
be
between
two
point
three
and
2.7%,
and
we're
happy
to
take
any
questions.
Thank
you.
D
Great,
thank
you
so
just
high-level
technical
questions,
not
in
the
specifics
at
this
point,
so
I
don't
know
if
the
system
is
working.
My
system
is
not
working
here
for
recording
people.
So
if
counsel
I
see
councillor
Washington
has
the
wants
to
speak,
but
it's
not
coming
up
on
the
screen.
Matt
councillor
Barton
go.
J
Ahead,
thank
you,
your
worship
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
just
note
in
your
the
additional
public
meetings
that
are
going
to
be
held
later
this
month.
November
28th
is
the
public
delegations,
but
you
also,
the
finance
and
Audit
Committee
meets
before
that
on
November
17th.
Where
would
you
like
us
to
direct
members
of
the
public
to
I?
Certainly
know
they
have
the
opportunity
for
the
public
delegations,
but
is
there
an
opportunity
for
the
public
to
attend
the
committee
meeting
and
ask
questions
as
well
or
is
that
more
geared
towards
members
of
Kelton.
M
M
M
Have
a
mic
here!
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
mayor
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity.
Our
staff
and
I
would
like
to
thank
my
my
colleague
on
board
members,
Tim
Kearney
and
Jan
Harlan,
and
the
civilian
member
for
working
together
on
this
budget.
So
I
want
to
thank
all
my
colleague
on
a
police
board
and
our
staff.
Thank
you
great.
H
H
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
the
Ottawa
Public
Library
board's
draft
2017
budget
and
a
quick
note
on
the
slides
up
top
you'll
actually
see
a
couple
of
great
events
with
the
human
library
event
at
Selma
branch,
as
well
as
the
second
event,
which
is
the
awesome
authors
who
participated
with
the
Opie,
all
Friends
of
the
library
writing
contest.
So
it
just
really
illustrates
that
libraries
are
much
more
than
books
next
slide.
Please.
H
H
In
addition,
OPL
will
receive
five
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollars
to
support
facility
of
lifecycle
costs
and
accessibility
improvements
managed
by
our
city
partners
to
bring
the
total
budget
envelope
to
forty
seven
million
dollars
next
slide.
Please
the
table,
that's
here
detail
is
how
the
OPL
will
allocate
its
increase
of
1.3
million
dollars.
The
biggest
share
will
go
towards
cost-of-living
adjustments
and
inflationary
costs
of
staff
to
run
our
thirty
three
branches
and
other
services
in
the
amount
of
seven
hundred
and
fifty
five
thousand
dollars.
H
Second
housekeeping
matters
such
as
maintaining
existing
software
equipment,
licensing,
furniture,
security
items
to
the
amount
of
four
hundred
and
fifty
five
thousand
dollars,
and
third,
our
one-time
pressures,
such
as
training
customer
relations
management,
software
hosting
marquee
events
like
the
celebration
of
Canada
150
rounds
it
out
at
three
hundred
and
ninety
thousand
dollars.
All
in
OPL
will
have
a
2017
net
operating
base
budget
of
forty
three
point:
four
million
dollars.
H
H
Second,
is
our
strategic
initiatives
in
the
amount
of
2.1
million
dollars
will
be
used
to
move
council
and
board
strategic
priorities,
including
finalizing
central
library
planning,
developing
business
cases
on
how
to
best
renew
Rosemount
branch
Ottawa's.
Only
remaining
Carnegie
Library
rolling
out
the
two
of
a
three-year
program:
update
for
accessible
workstations
to
the
public
and
third
growth
funds
for
nine
and
nine
hundred
and
eighty
five
thousand
dollars
will
be
used
to
develop
the
architectural
drawings
for
the
branch
of
the
Riverside
branch,
as
we
will
grow
the
OPL
collection
next
slide.
H
Please
thank
you
of
note
in
2015,
39
percent
of
Ottawa
pne's
own
an
active
library
card.
That's
that's
a
pretty
impressive
number,
I'm
very
proud
of
that
and
our
33
locations
receive
four
point:
eight
million
visits,
while
our
website
had
fifteen
point
three
million
visits,
I'm
pleased
to
report
on
a
briefing
received
by
trustees
at
last
night's
board
meeting
pertaining
to
the
economic
belif
benefits
of
the
Ottawa
Public
Library.
H
H
H
On
this
final
slide
on
October
13th
library,
trustees
and
staff
handed
out
customer
appreciation
day
bags
to
celebrate
library
month.
This
event
provided
a
real
opportunity
to
really
get
out
and
thank
our
supporters
on
behalf
of
the
library
board,
I'd
like
to
thank
you
again
for
your
continued
support
of
the
Ottawa
Public
Library
and
before
I
close
out
I
do
want
to
pay
special
thanks
to
our
CEO
Daniel
McDonald,
as
well
as
all
the
staff
at
the
OPL.
They
do
a
tremendous
job
and
they
should
be
thanked.
For
that
now
see
great.
D
Thank
you
very
much
so
received
and
tabled
tabled.
Next
is
the
operating
budget
for
the
Ottawa
Board
of
Health
Bridget
Purvis.
While
the
function
ma
ultimately
set
Bulacan,
say
the
Sante
Ottawa
councillor.
Sad
Qadri
is
the
chair
of
the
Ottawa
Public
Health
Board,
along
with
dr.,
is
relieved.
Ii
will
make
the
presentation
welcome.
Councilor,
chair,
Sean,
Kadri.
K
K
K
Please
please,
the
Board
of
Health
is
presenting
a
budget
of
59.7
million
that
balances
anticipated
expenses
against
anticipated
revenues.
If
approved,
the
budget
will
represent
a
funding
provision
of
13
million
dollars
from
the
city
that
represents
an
increase
of
three
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
over
to
2016
this
the
amount
council
has
approved.
The
budget
includes
an
assumption
that
we
will
receive
a
seven
hundred.
Sixty
five
thousand
dollar
increase
from
the
provincial
government
on
cost
shared
programs
and
no
increase
on
100%
provincial
funded
program.
K
Next
slide,
please,
the
budget
was
developed
with
a
view
to
compliance
with
the
Ontario
public
health
standards,
emerging
community
health
issues
and
the
board's
strategic
priorities.
This
slide
shows
the
strategic
priorities
identified
by
the
Board
of
Health
last
year
and
areas
where
we
asked
OPH
to
increase
their
efforts.
K
We've
already
seen
successes
in
inspiring
and
supporting
healthy
eating
and
active
living
OPH
has
improved
access
to
healthier
food
choices
in
daycares
and
after-school
programs
in
terms
of
an
adaptive
workforce
OPH
has
enhanced
the
its
capacity
to
reach
and
serve
diverse
communities,
particularly
in
the
areas
of
indigenous
health.
In
fostering
mental
health,
OPH
has
increased
awareness
and
reduce
the
stigma
on
mental
health
through
its
have
that
talk
program
and
in
areas
of
reducing
preventable
infectious
diseases,
OPH
has
increased
immunization
coverage
of
school-aged
children.
K
K
This
proposed
budget
is
built
to
maintain
core
services
while
addressing
the
cost
associated
with
collective
agreements,
settlements
and
inflation
increases
further.
It
is
designed
to
allow
OPH
to
address
emergency
emerging
community
health
needs,
such
as
enhancing
mental
health
promotions,
supporting
the
advancement
of
indigenous
health,
addressing
persistent
infection,
control
challenges
and
overdose
prevention
by
maximizing
innovative
use
of
social
media
and
earned
media
OPH
has
been
able
to
achieve
savings
in
the
area
of
advertising.
K
K
Councilors
and
members
of
the
public
are
welcome
to
provide
comments
on
the
draft
budget,
including
the
next
Board
of
Health
meeting
on
December
5th,
where
the
board
will
be
hearing
from
public
delegations
and
at
this
time
mr.
mayor
and
colleagues
are
like
to
thank
the
staff
at
Ottawa,
Public
Health
and
not
at
least
our

I
just

the

of
our

on
the
French
language
services.
They
managed
to
reduce
complaining
and
the
service
quite
from
92,
to
31,
due
to
the
good
work
they've
done
on

I
just
like
to
recognize
our

for
a
job
well
done
felicitous.
You
won't.
D
Going
back
to
a
midterm

2014-2018
I
have
three
motions:
does
anyone
else
have
any
other
motions
for
this
item?
Okay?
Well,
we'll
introduce
the
motions
first.
So
first
motion
is
deferral

planning
advisory
committee
recommendation
councilor,
hard
or
saying
on
by
council
early
/
counselor
harder.
Please.
G
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
it's
that
simple
I
had
a
conversation
this
week
with
councilor
Nussbaum
councilor
leaper
I
met
with
the
members
of
the
Federation
of
community
associations
and
there's
no
rush
for
this.
We
already
meet
on
literally
a
hundred
different
sponsor
groups
that
we
we
do
already,
and
we
just
want
to
give
a
a
fresh
look
to
this
and
maybe
make
something
truly
unique.
It
might
be
a
you
know
in
a
different
direction,
so
we're
gonna
wait
till
the
new
year
to
have
a
look
at
that.
D
E
You,
mr.
mayor,
this
is
really
technical
in
nature,
but
there
was
an
omission
in
the
actually
wording
of
the
of
the
bylaw
that
Oh
manage.
They
part
where
it
would
not
preclude
a
member
from
moving
emotion
at
the
meeting.
So
I've
worked
with
legal
just
to
make
sure
that
the
wording
is
corrected.
They
proposed
this
wording.
I
think
it's
technical
does.
D
O
O
D
A
C
I'm
not
certain
with
the
phraseology,
mr.
mayor,
a
consistency
for
most
of
our
local
boards,
often
with
BIA
s
and
such
we
have
the
word
councillors
sitting
on
them,
so
they
act
as
a
liaison
on
that
sort
of
role,
but
we
could
certainly
explore
this
offline.
If
you
want
to
talk
more
about
particular
ones,
yeah.
A
J
You
your
worship
and
good
morning
again
last
week,
fedko
received
the
report
from
the
corporate
real
estate
office
that
detailed
their
efforts
to
date
by
the
Ottawa
community
lands,
Development
Corporation
to
market
and
sell
the
property
at
30
71
Riverside
Drive,
which
is
commonly
known
as
the
former
site
of
Bayview
public
school.
There
was
much
discussion
at
committee
about
the
original
concept
plan,
formulated
as
a
result
of
community
consultation
and
ultimately
approved
by
City
Council
in
2009.
J
The
10
acres
of
land
mapped
out
parcels
for
development
containing
low-density,
residential,
medium
density,
residential
and
green
space
for
recreational
needs
in
the
field
house,
in
2014
city
council
transferred
the
authority
of
this
parcel
of
land
to
the
ocl
DC
to
market,
sell
and
develop.
As
stated
by
mr.
McNair.
Last
week,
a
committee,
the
ocl
DC,
had
flexibility
with
its
authority
to
release
the
rfo
this
past
summer
and
receive
bids
from
prospective
groups
and,
according
to
him,
the
preferred
prospective
developers
concept
plan
as
presented
in
their
report,
most
closely
aligns
to
the
original
concept
plan.
J
It
isn't
exact.
He
stated
no
bids
were
and
because
there
were
changes
from
the
original
concept
plan.
The
2014
motion
indicated
that
fedko
and
city
council
had
to
be
notified
of
these
changes.
Fedko
heard
from
four
delegations.
Their
common
message
was
that
the
changes
were
not
minor,
as
described
by
staff.
J
The
confidential
nature
of
the
OC
LDC
process,
which
precluded
them
myself,
any
member
of
council
or
city
staff
from
publicly
disclosing
the
changes
more
than
a
week
in
advance,
did
not
provide
ample
opportunity
for
the
community
to
be
informed,
read,
understand
and
provide
comments
prior
to
the
fedko
meeting
and
that
in
particular,
but
not
exclusively.
The
addition
of
a
mixed-use
commercial
parcel,
fronting
Riverside
Drive
was
supported.
Many
considerations
were
vetted
in
2009
and
this
did
not
make
a
short
list.
J
I
understand
and
acknowledge
that
receiving
this
report
today
does
not
bind
the
corporation
from
future
decisions
that
will
be
necessary
at
Planning,
Committee
and
Council
for
zoning
applications.
A
subdivision
plan,
and/or
site
plan
application.
That
said,
there
is
a
heightened
level
of
both
the
satisfaction
and
unease
that,
by
including
this
particular
parcel
in
the
developers
concept
plan
that
council
may
implicitly
a
group
be
agreeing
to
this
as
a
possibility.
J
In
2015,
I
sent
a
community
bulletin
to
3,000
households
in
the
Riverside
Park
North
Area,
and
from
that
developed
amazing
mailing
list
that
I
subsequently
circulated
for
information
updates
to
the
community
in
2016.
I
have
met
and
stay
in
contact
with
half
a
dozen
local
community
organizations,
whether
they
be
religious
education.
J
Homeowners
groups,
including
the
Community,
Association
and
I,
acknowledge
that
the
pending
months
will
see
additional
rounds,
a
public
consultation,
a
number
of
matters
and
will
be
developing
a
small
advisory
team
of
community
members
to
work
closely
with
me
as
the
community
and
I
tackle
the
various
applications.
That
will
be
expected.
My
frequent
meetings
and
communications
with
the
Riverside
Park
Community
and
Recreation
Association
will
remain
as
they
always
have
been.
J
Finally,
when
the
preferred
developer
is
known,
I
will
meet
with
them
right
away
to
discuss
their
vision,
articulate
the
known
concerns
of
the
community
and
discuss
plans
to
host
an
information
session
well
before
any
formal
applications
are
submitted.
Interest
in
the
project
is
strong
and
I
believe
that
a
healthy
working
relation
between
all
parties
will
be
needed
to
address
the
many
issues
that
lay
before
us.
Thank
you,
your
worship,
great.
G
Yes,
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and
I
can
say
that
since
fedko,
councillor,
Brockington
and
I
have
probably
met
six
times
to
talk
about
the
way
forward
and
so
that
he
would
have
the
ability
to
do
his
job
as
he
sees
it
and
which
is
the
the
fact,
but
also
how
that
would
roll
out
and
so
but
though,
going
into
details
about
the
Ottawa
Community
Land,
Development,
Corporation
and
many
people
around
this
table
were
not
even
part
of
a
council
that
decided
on
that
Corporation
and
why
we
did.
G
But
they
were
for
very
good
reasons
and
and
I
stand
by
that
decision.
In
this
case,
however,
councillor
Brockington
was
really
concerned.
You
know
cuz.
He
heard
from
some
of
the
public
about
the
the
concept
not
being
exactly
as
but
I
can
tell
you
that
none
of
the
none
of
the
contributors
to
the
RFP
met
the
concept
plan
and
yet
to
have
a
meeting
to
discuss
the
plan
when
we
don't
have
a
plan
within
that.
That
has
been
an
application
that
has
been
made
to
the
City
of
Ottawa.
G
What
are
you
going
to
be
discussing,
so
we
have
decided
that,
after
looking
and
talking
to
planning
staff
and
understanding
and
miss
Sneden
has
been
involved
and
she's
very
supportive
and
mr.
McNair
on
how,
in
the
best
interest
of
the
people
that
councillor
brockington
serves,
and
we
all
serve
that
public
consultation
and
meetings
would
be
held
in
the
community.
Once
we
have
an
application
before
us
to
consider
complete
planning
applications
for
any
commercial
uses
on
this
site
and
in
fact,
in
the
concept
as
it
is,
players
have
changed
to
from
all
those
years
ago.
G
G
I
want
to
thank
councilor
brockington
for
his
leadership
on
this
I
think
some
people
that
don't
work
as
hard
as
he
does
in
his
ward
and
doesn't
have
the
connection
with
his
folks,
which
they're
not
people
around
this
table,
but
I'm
just
talking
about.
If
you
didn't
have
that
relationship,
people
that
know
him
and
know
the
work
that
he's
done
should
have
every
assurance
that
what
I've
said
today
and
what
he
said
today
will
definitely
come
to
pass.
Thank
you
great.
D
Other
comments,
it's
one
of
Echo
counselor,
hardest
comments
to
thank
counselor
rocking
doing
is
I,
know,
I've,
seen
that
the
documents
and
the
Flyers
that
you
send
around
to
keep
people
informed
and
the
issue
that
you're
dealing
with
is
never
an
easy
one,
because
people
get
used
to
for
a
long
period
of
time
that
empty
green
space
and
they
want
it
to
really
not
touch.
But
I
think
you've
done
a
very
good
job
of
trying
to
bring
the
different
parties
together
and
I.
D
Think,
as
councilor
harder
rightly
said,
the
opportunity
really
for
greater
public
input
in
terms
of
the
actual
plan,
as
opposed
to
concept,
will
be
through
site
plans
through
the
planning
committee
and
I
know
that
you
will
take
the
leadership
role
in
bringing
the
community
and
the
proponent
together
and
I
thank
councilor
harder
for
her
offer
of
assistance
as
well.
So
congratulations
so
on
the
report
received
dissent
by
councilor.
Brockington
next
is
disposition
of
items
approved
by
committees
under
delegated
authority
sweeter
than
a
day's
LT
20
feet
panel.
D
I
D
I
Council
meeting
we
gave
a
notice
of
motion.
There's
been
some
discussions
with
my
colleagues
since
then.
Of
course,
the
notice
was
to
to
ensure
that
visitors
to
Ottawa
and
2017
had
a
choice
of
locations
where
they
might
hotels
are
already
being
well
booked,
so
choice
and
an
extra
strategy
for
visitors
to
stay
in
Ottawa.
I
Item
number:
a
adding
number
11
to
the
to
the
motion
looks
pretty
dense,
they're,
adding
adding
number
11
to
the
motion.
The
Goulburn
recreation
complex
at
1500
shade
road,
that's
with
the
concurrence
of
course,
of
the
ward
councillor,
councillor
Qadri,
and
also
further
to
discussions
with
with
the
general
manager
of
Parks
and
Recreation
keeping
in
mind
the
marketing
of
the
of
the
sites,
the
prices
and
and
the
ability
of
Parks
and
Rec
to
contain
costs
too.
I
For
this
initiative
like
to
propose
that
on
document,
one
line
that
the
lines
are
not
numbered,
but
the
first
line
be
the
column
for
2017
rate.
Instead
of
reading
110
dollars
per
night,
it
read
$65
per
night
on
line
number
two
tent
site.
Instead
of
reading
$100
per
night,
it
would
read
$60
per
night
and
on
line
number
eight,
the
line.
That's
in
bold
out
of
2017
urban
camping
early
bird
packages.
Instead
of
reading
$75
per
night,
it
would
read
$50
per
night.
That
is
my
introduction
to
the
motion.
Mr.
mayor,
hey.
D
C
Thank
you,
mr.
Marin,
and
thank
you
to
councillors,
clue
che
and
flurry
for
putting
this
forward.
I
think
the
idea
of
coming
up
with
innovative
and
original
ways
of
of
welcoming
our
guests
for
that
important
weekend
in
2017
is
very
important
and
and
useful.
That
said,
just
a
question
to
staff
arising
from
this
I've
had
a
number
of
residents
who
neighbor
the
site
in
my
award
enquire
with
me,
I'm
just
concerned
to
some
extent
about
proximity.
C
There
are
some
houses
that
literally
back
on
right
on
to
individual
parking
spots
and
I'm
just
want
to
confirm
with
staff
that
there
will
be
an
opportunity
to
do
specific
site
visits
to
identify,
perhaps
individual
spots
within
the
parking
lots
that
would
or
would
not
be
appropriate
for
individual
camping
spots
is
that
is
that
something
that
I
can
just
hear
from
staff
on?
Thank
you.
Yes,
mr.
A
Residents
of
the
beautiful
kitchen
city
ward,
are
excited
to
welcome
these
campers
at
tom
brown.
There
have
been
some
concerns
expressed
that
there
might
not
be
enough
money
in
the
budget
on
a
cost
recovery
basis
to
ensure
that
we
can
mitigate
any
damage
to
the
the
grass
surface
at
tom
brown.
If
that
gets
damaged
at
the
earliest
available
opportunity,
could
we
get
a
breakdown
of
these
costs?
How
have
you
done
the
math
to
ensure
that
it
is
cost
recovery,
and
how
do
we
ensure
that
it
has
the
the
cushion
necessary
to
deal
with
any
mitigation?
O
Thank
you,
I
just
want
to
make
a
brief
comment
in
support
of
this
idea.
I
know
we've
taken
some
criticism
over
the
pricing
and
alcohol
and
others
other
aspects
of
this,
but
it
really
does
stem
from
an
innovative
way
of
ensuring
that
guests
and
visitors
to
this
city
of
all
types
and
all
means
have
have
access
to
to
be
able
to
stay
here
and
I.
O
I
have
the
personal
experience,
most
summers
of
taking
part
in
Velo
Quebec,
p'tit
devant
oil,
which
frequently
stays
in
in
in
towns
where
the
whole
rolling
1500
group
of
cyclists
and
their
families
frequently
pitch
tents
on
soccer
fields.
The
money
that's
raised
goes
towards
that
the
Talmud
hosts
and
the
adjacent
recreation
center
or
SAP
or
high
school
serves
as
the
washrooms,
the
water,
the
the
cafeteria
etc.
So
we're
not
proposing
something
quite
that
ambitious,
but
just
to
show
it.
It
works
elsewhere
and
and
I
see
no
reason
why
Otto
I
can't
make
it
work.
D
O
You,
mr.
mayor,
this
is
very
straightforward.
May
around
City
Hall
in
the
courthouse.
We
have
a
number
of
memorials
of
different
kinds.
The
aids
committee
of
Ottawa
was
seeking
a
appropriate
site
for
a
memorial
in
the
long
and
unfortunate
history
of
of
AIDS
here
in
Ottawa,
and
we
have
identified
a
site
working
with
staff
and
simply
the
seeking
I
go
to
the
their
forest.
O
Therefore,
it
be
resolved
with
the
aids
committee
of
Ottawa
be
granted
permission
to
install
memorial
at
the
site
identified
by
staff
in
Marion
Dewar
Plaza,
and
that
the
recreation,
culture
and
facility
service
department
continue
to
provide
ongoing
day-to-day
maintenance
of
the
commemoration
area
as
part
of
its
existing
maintenance
program
for
Ottawa
City
Hall
via
further
resolved
that
the
general
manager
of
the
recreation,
cultural
and
facility
services
department
be
delegated
the
authority
to
negotiate
and
execute
an
agreement
with
a
CEO
detailing
the
responsibilities
terms
and
conditions
required
to
implement
this
project.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
D
Thank
you

motion
is
in
front
of
us.
Basically,
it's
established
five
members
who
will
advise
the
city
on
the
best
skill
set
numbers
for
the
future
municipal
services
corporation
board.
So
these
five
individuals
are
highlighted
in
the
there
in
the
the
further
it
result.
So
let
me
read
the
following.
A
Therefore,
bit
resolved
that
advisory
group
be
created
to
work
with
city
staff
and
a
core
team
of
stakeholders
within
that
emanate
to
advise
the
city
on
best
practices
with
regards
to
governance
for
municipal
services
corporation,
as
well
as
composition,
roles,
responsibilities
and
terms
for
board
of
directors
for
municipal
services
corporation
to
be
considered
by
city
staff
and
then
report
to
committee
and
council
q1
of
2017.
So
these
individuals
as
follow
P
L,
Dubois,
Charles,
Peter
Daniel,
get
pocket
Eva,
Nick,
chic
and
Louise
penitent.
So
these
are
experts
in
governance.
M
Mr.
mayor
question
to
our
staff:
first,
we
use
in
the
same
motion
best
practice,
and
then
we
have
five
individual.
We
don't
know
how
they
get
to
be
selected,
and
what
does
that
mean
just
for
the
Byward
market?
And
what
does
it
mean
to
to
our
staff
like
it's?
The
staff
aware
of
this
like
this
is
coming
on
the
fly
to
this
to
the
council.
I,
don't
understand
why
it
doesn't
go
to
committee
before
comes
the
council.
C
A
word
aware
of
it:
we've
been
since
council
approved
the
go
forward
plan
for
the
Bywater
Park
dome
markets.
In
May
of
this
year,
we've
been
working
with
a
core
group
of
stakeholders
working
with
councillors
furry
and
councillor
leaper
on.
You
know,
Brittany
report
to
fedko
in
February
of
next
year
that
deals
with
all
the
recommendations
that
were
in
front
of
committee
in
in
May,
so
where
this
we're
looking
for
some
expertise
in
terms
of
the
governance
for
the
musical
Service
Corporation,
it's
a
it's
going
to
be
a
your
large
complex
corporation.
C
M
And
mr.
mayor,
maybe
in
the
future,
something
like
this
will
come
to
the
committee
like
the
fat,
CO
and
and
so
we'll
have,
if
the
public
have
to
say
something
or
somebody
who
would
like
to
be
on
this
committee
and
didn't
get
the
chance
or
we
don't
hear
from
them
after
we
approve
this
just
as
an
advice.
Next
policy
should
be
on
committee,
not
on
council
and
that's
based
on
your
advice.
Mr.
mayor
right.
C
G
D
C
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
this
is
simply
an
extension
for
an
application
for
lane
closure.
I'll
just
read
the
final
Clause,
therefore
be
it
resolved
that
City
Council
approves
a
final
extension
of
the
expiry
date
for
application
for
lane,
closing
from
December
31
2016
to
December
31
2017,
to
allow
for
sufficient
time
for
the
applicant
to
satisfy
all
of
the
conditions
and
complete
the
process
to
purchase
the
lane.
Thank
you.
Okay.
D
H
M
Mayor
and
my
colleague
I
just
want
to
take
this
moment
to
say
thank
you
to
councilor
harder
for
her
service
on
the
police
board
in
the
past
six
years
and
due
to
her
workload,
she
has
stepped
down
and
dismayed
governor
report
and
I
wanna
also
take
the
opportunity
to
welcome
councilor
who
bleed
through
there
to
the
world,
so
the
councillor
harder.
A
heartfelt
thank
you
for
your
service
on
this
board.
Thank
you.

Otherwise,
currently
preparing
to
host
upwards
of
1.75
million,
more
visitors
for
Canada's
150th
anniversary,
and
at
present,
these
celebrations
will
include
over
500
special
events.
Knowing
this,
could
the
Ottawa
2017
group
provide
a
comprehensive
list
of
the
anticipated
city
resources
that
will
be
required
to
support
the
events
and
visitors
anticipated
for
next
year.
This
list
should
be
broken
down
by
Department
include
the
financial
cost
to
provide
these
resources,
as
well
as
a
funding
source.
E
In
addition,
could
staff
please
outline
what
measures
will
be
taken
to
ensure
the
safety
of
our
residents
and
visitors,
which
is,
of
course,
of
paramount
importance
and
finally
could
stop.
Please
provide
a
response
to
this
inquiry.
Prior
to
the
December
6th
meeting
of
the
Finance
and
Economic
Development
Committee.
