A
D
You
mr.
mayor
from
the
heart
of
Ottawa,
of
course,
the
finest
ward
in
the
city
and,
of
course,
the
best
high
school,
my
alma
mater,
no,
no
less
I'm
pleased
to
bring
to
you
the
a
string
quartet.
All
of
the
musicians
are
in
grade
12
and
pursuing
music
in
post-secondary
education.
We
have
Connor
Wynn
and
Stuart
Oakes,
who
will
be
playing
the
violin
Carolyn
Fernand,
who
will
be
playing
the
viola
and
Ethan
Mitchell
who
will
be
playing
the
cello
in
attending
Canterbury?
D
These
young
musicians
have
had
the
pleasure
of
working
with
high
level
music
teachers
such
as
Lori
Hamilton,
James,
Caswell
and
John
Quran
Canterbury's
ensemble
are
well
known
in
the
local
music
community
as
skilled
and
hardworking
groups.
This
reputation
comes
from
their
numerous
performances
at
local
festivals,
special
events
and
Canterbury
is
very
own
music
night
taking
place
this
Thursday
and
Friday
at
7
o'clock
at
Canterbury,
High
School
on
Canterbury
Avenue.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
the
Canterbury
string
quartet.
A
Well,
thank
thank
you
very
much
to
the
students
from
Canterbury
appreciate
you
being
here
play
that
beautiful
rendition
of
our
National
Anthem
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
invite
floral
of
cats
to
join
me
at
this
for
the
center
stage.
As
we
honor
floral
love
with
the
mayor
city
builder
award
and
her
counselor
counselor
Diane
Holmes
as
well.
A
A
20
years
of
singing
soprano
in
the
chorus
of
author
Lehrer
and
serving
as
a
lay
cantor
at
her
synagogue
during
the
highly
High
Holy
Days.
In
addition,
she
is
given
close
to
a
hundred
and
ten
blood
donations
through
the
Canadian
Blood
Services
worked
as
a
big
sister
when
was
a
regular
and
welcome
presence
at
her
grandmother's
retirement
residence
where
she
organized
monthly
concerts
she's
been
an
active
board
member.
A
long
list
of
organizations,
including
the
ymy
WCA
of
Ottawa
she'll
coin
box
committee
in
the
Ottawa
School
of
Speech
and
Drama.
A
A
Glowingly
about
a
kind
person
that
she
is
and
how
fortunate
they
are
to
know
her.
She
is
the
type
of
person
that
our
city
is
richer
for.
Having
and
I
speak
on
behalf
of
all
of
us
at
Ottawa,
City,
Council
and
thanking
you,
miss
Katz
for
what
you
have
done
and
what
you
continue
to
do
for
our
community.
A
C
Well,
I
would
like
to
begin
by
thanking
the
members
of
the
mayor's
City
Builders
award
selection
committee,
mr.
Brooke
Simpson
in
the
mayor's
office,
Maria
grant
and
Ian
Smith
and
others
in
the
protocol
office,
who
pulled
today's
ceremony
together
as
a
35
year
veteran
of
the
Canadian
public
service.
I
would
also
like
to
thank
Mayor
Jim
Watson,
whose
hard
work
during
two
terms
as
mayor
as
provincial
MPP,
and
whose
genuine
friendship
I've
cherished
for
many
years.
C
C
Last
night,
at
the
culture
beyond
borders,
contact,
Sir
Guy
mentioned
two
councillors,
sure
Ellie,
how
very
honored
I
am
to
receive
and
I'm
humbled
by
this
mayor
city.
Builders,
award,
I
love
this
city
and
everything
Ottawa
represents,
notably
as
our
nation's
capital
and
I'm,
very
grateful
to
be
permitted.
C
A
couple
moments
to
offer
these
thoughts
and
thanks
to
you
all
in
particular,
it's
meaningful
for
me
to
receive
this
prestigious
award
in
the
Andrew
Hayden
Hall,
because
Andy
was
Reeve
of
Nepean
Township
and
regional
chair
of
the
Ottawa
Carleton
area
from
1970
to
91
and
I
knew
Andy
and
his
wife
Mary.
They
were
close
and
cherished
friends
and
neighbors
and
as
an
licensed
wedding
officiant
in
the
province
of
Ontario
in
2007
I
had
the
honor
of
marrying
Andy
to
his
present
wife
Cherie,
the
widow
of
former
mayor
of
Nepean
Ben
Franklin
last
month.
C
As
the
mayor
was
mentioning
marked
the
70th
anniversary
of
the
Warsaw
Ghetto
Uprising,
and
by
confluence
of
miraculous
circumstances.
My
mother
Ruth,
a
survivor
of
Nazi
Germany,
was
one
of
fewer
than
4,000
Jewish
people
allowed
into
Canada
between
1935
to
45.
Dozens
of
our
immediate
families
were
turned
back
to
from
the
safety
of
our
Canadian
shores
to
the
Nazi
gas
chambers,
where
they
were
all
murdered,
although
beaten
in
Nazi
Germany
as
a
child
and
bullied
in
Canada
because
of
her
bad
English.
My
mother
grew
up
to
spearhead
anti-bullying
programs
and
techniques
in
schools.
C
She
became
an
outstanding
pedagogue
of
elementary
high
school
University
and
ultimately
acted
adults
here
in
our
cañada
software
industry,
where
she
specialized
in
the
English
language,
history
and
art,
but
she
also
taught
kids
with
learning
disabilities
and,
as
mayor
Watson
mentioned,
my
dad
was
born
into
object.
Poverty
in
Montreal
Canada
was
very
limply,
anti-semitic
in
the
40s
and
50s,
and
at
the
time
there
were
park
benches.
C
That
said,
no
dogs
are
Jews,
allowed,
I,
don't
know
if
there
were
any
in
Ottawa,
but
there
sure
were
in
Montreal,
and
there
were
limits
imposed
on
every
University
in
Canada,
limiting
quotas
limiting
the
number
of
Jews
allowed
into
universities.
But
my
father's
genius
and
his
quest
will
interest
all
of
you,
young
researchers
in
ovarian
cancer,
because
he
became
the
first
biomedical
engineer
in
Canada,
pioneering
the
first
heart-lung
pump
for
open-heart
surgery
and
for
that
and
for
many
many
other
medical
devices
that
that
gentleman
invented.
C
C
We
are
guilty
all
of
us
because
we
are
have
a
collective
responsibility
to
prevent
genocide,
including
Rwanda,
for
which
we
had
all
of
the
information.
I
have
an
intense
keen
perspective
that
every
one
of
us
must
be
fully
informed
constantly.
We
must
be
vigilant
in
our
ongoing
efforts
to
intervene.
We
have
an
inherent
responsibility
to
protect
and
we
must
contribute
in
every
capacity,
notably
as
volunteers,
at
every
opportunity.
We
must
extend
ourselves
stretch
ourselves
in
every
way
to
assist
and
reach
out
to
others,
particularly
those
in
need.
C
We
live
and
work
in
the
most
beautiful
capital
city
in
the
best,
the
cleanest,
the
safest
and
the
most
beautiful
country
in
the
world.
I
want
again
to
thank
all
of
you,
city,
councilors,
mayor
Watson,
Diane
Holmes,
for
your
efforts
to
keep
Ottawa's
beautiful,
well
functioning
and
service-oriented
as
it
is
and
I.
Thank
you
all
for
this
very
meaningful
recognition.
You
now
offer
me
that
allows
me
to
be
a
better
ambassador
for
our
beloved
City
of
Ottawa
that
I
cherish
so
much.
Thank
you
all
very
much.
E
Thank
you
mr.
mayor
I'd,
like
counselor
Moffitt,
to
maybe
join
me
here,
happy
to
jump
in
great,
so
counselor,
Moffitt
and
I
are
organizing
the
municipal
maverick
it's
a
team
that
will
take
part
in
a
competition
called
exile,
Island
all
this
for
Children's
Wish
Foundation
of
Ottawa.
This
events
happening
on
June
14th,
and
we
have
we're
fundraising
for
a
very
special
person
he's
in
the
audience
with
his
father
Ryan.
If
you
could
stand
up
so
we're
fundraising
for
Ryan
who
has
a
ll
leukemia,
he
want
you.
E
His
wish
is
to
go
to
the
2014
IIHF
World
Junior
Championships
in
Sweden
next
year,
so
our
team
is
fundraising
and
we'll
have
a
special
barbecue
on
May
17th
Friday
at
Ben
Franklin
place.
So
if
members
of
council
or
city
employees
have
an
opportunity
to
come
down,
we'll
also
have
a
silent
auction
on
May,
19th
and
30th.
All
this
to
make
Ryan's
wish
come
true
and
he's
he's
resident
of
Marion
Wilkinsons
Ward,
and
hopefully
we
have
other
councillors,
such
as
rain,
herb,
Lois
and
Diane
Dean's,
who
have
also
joined
us
last
year
to
participate.
E
B
I
could
quickly
translate
that
we
would
like
to
have
some
fun
raising
for
exile
Island
for
Ryan.
We're
trying
to
raise
close
to
ten
thousand
dollars
will
have
a
special
barbecue
on
Friday
May
17th,
as
Ben
Franklin
plays,
and
at
City
Hall.
We
will
have
a
silent
auction
on
29th
and
30th
of
May.
Thank
you
all.
A
A
I'm
also
very
pleased
to
recognize
in
the
gallery,
representatives
from
the
ovarian
cancer
society.
This
is
the
first-ever
ovarian
cancer
day
worldwide
and
the
first
time
we've
flown
the
ovarian
cancer
flag
at
Ottawa,
City
Hall
and
a
number
of
the
folks
who
are
with
us
are
researchers
and
scientists
at
the
University
of
Ottawa,
and
we
had
the
opportunity
with
councilor,
Qadri
and
Hobbs
and
Wilkinson
to
be
out
raising
the
flag
and
I
wanted
to
welcome
them
and
thank
them

to
this
very
serious
disease.

A
L
L
All
right
now,
sorry
sorry
I'm
on
the
wrong
one:
okay,
the
yeah.
It
is
a
question,
so
the
question
is
on
budget.
The
the
guideline
moving
to
two
percent
from
the
approve
2.5
has
an
impact
on
all
other
elements
of
the
budget.
Obviously
so
I'm
wondering
if
the
treasurer
could
outline
for
us
whether
there
is,
and
if
so,
what
it
is.
The
impact
on
on
our
debt.
N
L
I
realize
there's
no
impact
on
debt
servicing,
because
you
can't
do
that
without
a
separate
motion
anyway.
But
the
question
is
how
much
additional
debt
will
we
take
on
that?
We
would
not
have
taken
on
had
we
not
passed
this
and
second,
the
second
sort
of
filler
on
that
is
whether
debt
that
is
retired
is
getting
replaced
in
order
to
hit
this
target.
N
First
of
all,
we
wouldn't
anticipate
any
more
debt
being
taken
on
as
a
result
of
this
motion.
As
you
know,
we
do
not
fund
any
operating
from
debt.
It's
only
for
capital
works,
so
we
would
not
be
taking
on
more
debt.
As
a
result
of
this,
you've
already
passed
a
policy
with
respect
to
how
much
debt
is
to
be
used
on
Capitol
works
and
you've
restricted
it
for
the
tax,
supported
debt
and
basically,
you've
limited
to
the
debt.
That
is
retiring,
is
reissued.
N
O
K
A
Well,
it
was
my
motion,
so
I'm,
happy
to
and
I
can
ask
the
treasurer
for
some
supplementary
comments.
I
felt
it
was
important
that
we
get
out
as
quickly
as
possible
to
allow
our
partners,
namely
those
that
have
quasi
independent
boards,
the
library,
public
health
and
the
police
as
much
lead
time
as
possible,
so
that
they
can
start
to
prepare
for
the
new
reality
that
we're
looking
to
contain
our
costs
and
our
tax
increase
to
a
figure
below
or
at
2%.
A
It
was
important
that
they
get
that
information
before
the
June
meeting
of
fedko,
which
is
the
meeting
that
will
deal
with
the
timetable
and
other
budget
matters
that
we
traditionally
deal
with
and
I've.
Madam
treasurer,
if
you
could
comment
because
you
were
obviously
very
helpful
in
the
drafting
of
the
motion,
Thank.
N
You,
mr.
mayor,
the
urgency
comes
because
we've
actually
started
working
towards
the
2014
budget.
Almost
as
soon
as
the
ink
is
dried
on
the
current
years.
We
start
the
next
years
process
in
the
June
report.
Not
only
do
we
deal
with
the
process
and
the
timetable,
we
also
allocate
the
tax
envelopes
to
all
of
the
boards
and
to
the
city,
so
people
have
to
know
what's
their
starting
position
right
now.
N
We
have
term
of
council
direction
that
we
were
given
in
2010
with
respect
to
what
the
target
is,
and
if
you
want
to
change
it,
you
really
need
to
do
it
before
we
assign
the
envelopes,
because
it's
very
difficult
to
get
that
back.
Once
you've
gone
out
there
and
said
you
can
spend
up
to
2.5,
if
you
really
want
them
to
spend
less
than
that.
So
that
is
the
reason
why
we
put
this
forward
at
this
time,
so
that
the
June
report
can
reflect
these
decisions.
K
Thank
you
well.
I
certainly
do
understand
the
the
timing
in
terms
of
preparing
the
2014
budget,
I
guess
the
reality
is.
This
is
more
political
than
anything.
The
the
fact
that
a
new
target
would
be
adopted
would,
of
course,
require
our
staff
and
all
of
the
service
operators
and
the
various
boards
to
adjust
their
budgets.
K
Don't
think
that
we
can
just
look
at
the
rate
of
inflation
politically,
it
is
always
attractive
as
you
approach
an
election
to
promise
zero
or
something
close
to
zero,
but
then
we
end
up
making
up
for
it
later
we
end
up
catching
up
and
we
find
ourselves
in
a
position.
I
was
reminded,
as
I
tripped
over
a
number
of
sidewalks
yesterday
evening
and
bumped
my
way
down
a
number
of
pothole
filled
roads
this
morning,
where
we
have
an
infrastructure
deficit
that
we're
still
not
caught
up
with.
K
So
we
can
look
at
the
rate
of
inflation
and
say
well,
yes,
budget
increases
that
are
above
the
rate
of
inflation,
seem
odd.
But
what
about
that
other
deficit
that
we
have
to
find
a
way
to
catch
up
with,
or
are
we
telling
the
citizens
of
Ottawa
we're
never
going
to
catch
up
with
that?
Those
potholes
and
those
roads
will
steadily
deteriorate
and
that's
the
position
I
think
that
we
find
ourselves
in
and
a
number
of
our
agencies
that
serve
the
most
vulnerable.
K
I
I
Yes,
it
is
a
recommendation
to
the
board
to
adopt,
but,
as
you
are
a
member
of
the
other
Police
Board
and
you
yourself
Oded
for
then
four
years
from
2010
to
adopt
the
budget
at
two
and
a
half
percent
and
we
give
that
direction
to
the
police
and
they
are
working
with
that
framework.
And
today
we
have
the
different
direction
to
say:
work
with
less
than
two
percent.
I
At
the
same
time,
when
arbitration
in
the
province
has
no
regard
to
what
you
think,
what
you
decide
to
do
and
how
much
tax
you
collect
and
that
same
arbitration
just
reward
our
staff
for
2011
and
12
and
2012
arbitrated
higher
than
what
we
even
budgeted,
our
software
and
half
percent,
he
award
them
at
3%.
And
so
when
you
have
no
control
over
arbitration,
I
like
to
know
like.
I
Why
don't
we
stand
up
and
talk
to
the
premier
who's
going
to
visit
Ottawa
this
week
and
other
party
and
and
put
a
little
bit
of
Russian
and
that
arbitration
is
running
out
of
control
and
I
understand
our
staff
is
gonna
is
going
to
do
their
best
to
meet
our
our
goal
or
our
target
as
a
board
or
as
a
council,
but
eventually
somebody
has
to
pay
the
price.
The
service
is
gonna
be
reduced
because
we
can
define
an
efficiency
efficiency.
I
A
Well,
we
certainly
appreciate
the
work
that
you've
done
councillor
else,
anteriors,
chair
of
the
police
services
board,
with
the
provincial
association
I
to
have
raised
it
with
the
political
leaders
of
all
three
political
parties
as
well
as
ministers,
and
this
is
one
of
the
challenges
that
we're
all
facing
that
I.
Don't
believe
you
know,
because
we've
not
been
successful
at
arbitration,
we
have
to
simply
say
alright.
A
P
Thank
you
very
much
mr.
mayor
I'm
going
to
be
supporting
the
the
committee
recommendation.
I
think
it
is
the
right
and
prudent
step
to
take.
We
need
to
give
the
administration
and
the
agencies
as
much
notice
and
as
much
time
as
possible,
so
that
we
can
make
intelligent
and
thoughtful
decisions.
I
can
tell
you,
mayor,
I,
sat
at
this
table
not
with
some
pride
and
saw
seen
situations
where
we're
making
decisions
on
reducing
the
budget
at
the
council
table,
and
that
is
messy.
It
is
grisly.
P
It
is
difficult
and
often
we
did
not
make
the
right
decisions,
because
we
did
not
have
the
lead
time
to
do
the
analysis
to
put
the
thoughtful
thinking
to
where
we
would
should
reduce,
to
make
sure
that
we're
meeting
the
needs
of
residents
so
I
think
we
should
be
giving
them
as
much
time
as
possible
to
come
up
with
thoughtful
either
policy
or
operational
impacts
that
we're
not
doing
it
too
late
in
a
matter
where
we
we
bring
forward.
Reductions
that
are
that
are
not
in
keeping
with
the
expectations
of
the
community.
P
I
wanted
to
ask
the
treasurer
on
about
the
the
conservation
so,
for
example,
the
other
agencies
that
fall
within
the
portfolio
of
the
City
of
Ottawa
or
are
a
part
of
our
tax
bill.
So,
for
example,
the
conservation
authorities
I
appreciate
that
they're
independent
appreciate
that
there
is
a
process
in
which
the
levy
is
determined.
But
I
do
think.
If
we
are
going
to
be
sending
signals
to
our
administration
that
we
should
be
looking
at
some
of
the
other
organizations
that
are
part
of
our
portfolio
that
make
up
the
tax
bill.
N
Mr.
mayor,
the
conservation
authorities,
are
you
basically
have
to
accept
almost
all
of
their
budget
and
request
and
there's
only
a
portion
that
really
is
within
your
control.
We
will
be
advising
the
the
boards
and
commissions
and
agencies
that
you
are
directly
responsible
for
and
can
control.
We
can
send
a
letter
to
the
conservation
authorities
telling
them
that
we've
set
the
target
at
to
be
less
than
2%,
but
ultimately
there
you
really
don't
have
a
lot
of
control
over
them.
N
P
No
and
I
accept
that
answer,
but
I
do
think
it
is
worth
as
you
suggest,
communicating
to
them.
We
do
have
representatives
that
were
appointed
by
this
council
that
should
be
I,
think
paying
very
close
attention
to
the
actions
that
we're
taking
here
and
I
think
would
be
helpful
to
have
that
kind
of
communication.
Thank
you.
Yeah.
A
I
think
that's
a
good
point
and
perhaps
what
we
might
do,
mr.
Kirkpatrick
is
meet
with
the
representatives
of
the
boards.
We
can
develop
a
bit
of
a
strategy
because
they're
their
budgets
have
come
in
consistently,
above
even
our
2.5
percent.
If
I'm
not
mistaken
in
the
last
couple
of
budgets,
it's
not
a
large
amount,
but
it's
the
principle
of
they
too
should
be
showing
some
constraint
we'll
arrange
for
that.
Mr.
mee
Thank
You
councillor
blow
us
please
Thank.
E
You
mr.
mayor
mr.
mayor
I
certainly
see
this
as
a
positive
step
and
in
going
in
the
right
direction
and
and
more
in
line
with
the
the
rate
of
inflation.
I
am
a
little
surprised
by
the
urgency,
but
I
accept
the
argument
that
more
lead
time
is,
is
better
for
for
staff
and
boards
etc.
A
question
to
the
treasurer,
though
councillor
sure
le
asked
about
what
this
does
to
our
debt
load
and
I
guess
on
the
flip
side,
I'm
concerned.
E
In
terms
of
our
contributions
to
our
capital
plan,
we've
laid
out
the
the
long
term
financial
plan
we
have
in
our
capital
program.
We
have
a
number
of
projects
that
have
been
delayed
over
the
years
and
how
is
this
going
to
affect
our
contributions
and
what
is
it
going
to
do
to
some
of
the
projects
that
are
pending
in
the
next
year?.
N
This
motion
actually
will
not
affect
the
contribution
to
capital
or
the
plan
that
you
agreed
to
when
we
tabled,
or
you
adopted,
the
long-range
financial
plan
in
2012.
So
at
that
time
you
agreed
that
we
need
to
increase
that
contribution,
not
only
by
inflation
and
for
growth,
but
also
there
was
a
portion
for
catch-up
for
increases.
That
hadn't
happened
in
prior
years.
That
plan
is
still
in
place
and
we
will
work
with
that
within
this
within
the
less
than
2%.
E
You're
also
I
think
your
forecasting
and
I
don't
have
it
in
front
of
me
right
now
that
in
future
years
that
we're
going
to
need
to
increase
our
contributions
to
our
to
our
capital
plan
and
I
think
those
starting
in
2014-2015
I
believe
by
doing
this
now.
Does
that
not
run
counter
to
what
you're
suggesting
we
need
to
do
down
the
road?
What.
N
The
plan
was:
is
that
2015?
We
would
come
back
if
there
was
not
at
that
point
in
time
a
an
ongoing,
stable
source
of
funding
from
the
federal
and
provincial
governments
to
augment
our
capital
requirements,
but
for
2014
we
had
just
agreed
that
there
was
going
to
be
another
bump
up
in
the
contribution
to
capital
to
make
up
for
previous
years
where
and
it
wasn't
increased.
So
really
the
decision
point,
the
inflection
point
will
be
in
2015
when
we
come
back
and
say
what
has
happened
with
respect
to
an
ongoing
program.
Thank.
A
E
G
You,
mr.
mayor,
yes,
the
question
I
am
Mason
Lee.
If
we
pass
this
motion,
this
is
more
more
or
less
I
got
a
guideline
for
staff.
Right
I
mean
there's
none
in
set
in
stone
and
it
won't
be
public
consultation
as
we
always
do.
The
public
will
have
a
chance
to
say
if
they
agree
at
the
end
of
the
day
with
what's
brought
forward.
Is
this
correct
assumption
I
mean
that
is
correct,
councilor,
so
I
I,
don't
have
any
issues
witness
mr.
mayor
I
think
it's
the
rate
of
inflation
is
2%
cost
of
living.
I.
G
Think
it's
a
motion.
All
it
says,
is
to
try
and
work
towards
getting
2%
and
this
time
around
went
to
public
consultation.
We
will
know
from
the
public
if
there
is
any
issues
with
it.
At
the
end
of
the
day
when
the
budget
is
table.
Last
year
we
came
in
at
2.9
percent
and
if
you
remember
at
that
time,
I
think
the
majority
in
the
comments
from
the
public
was
that
they
were
very
satisfied
of
2.9
percent.
So
can
we
lower
it
another
point?
G
G
A
B
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
this
question:
I
guess
I'm
not
sure,
maybe
for
the
clerk's
office
I'm
just
looking
at
the
warehouses
and
the,
whereas
it
indicates
where,
as
council,
established
a
Turner
Council
budget
guideline
in
2010
that
limited
any
tax
increase
to
no
more
than
2.5
percent.
In
light
of
that
direction,
which
we've
already
given
I
guess,
my
question
is
procedurally:
is
this
motion
necessary
because
something
under
2
would
be
under
2.5,
so
I'm
wondering
whether
I
understand
the
option
of
giving
notice
to
people
in
advance?
F
B
Okay,
but
from
a
functional
point
of
view,
with
the
existing
direction,
could
staff
have
not
come
to
us
with
a
with
a
budget
of
less
than
2
percent
I
mean
I'm
all
for
lower
taxes.
Don't
get
me
wrong
here,
I'm,
just
wondering
if
we're
adding
paper
or
we
don't
need
necessarily
need
paper,
a
councilor.
A
Since
it
was
my
motion,
I
worked
with
the
city
treasurer
the
fallback
position.
The
automatic
position
was
that
each
department
and
agency
would
be
budgeting
for
2.5
percent.
As
a
given,
this
is
the
clerk
has
indicated.
It
was
important
that
we
send
a
signal,
clear
and
concise
as
soon
as
possible
that
they
would
not
beginning
a
2.5
would
be
closer
to
2.
So
it
was
an
opportunity
for
council
to
give
direction
to
staff.
Don't
count
on
the
2.5
have
to
count
on
0.5
less
this
year
as
they
prepare
their
budgets
and
submit
them
to
us.
M
Okay,
green
I
think
would
say:
go
here.
It
says
red,
so
I
stop.
You
know
this
discussion
brings
me
into
the
magic
number
realm
pick
a
number.
Why
pick
it
now?
Well,
because
we
want
people
to
know
what
it
is,
not
necessarily
because
of
the
immense
political
benefit,
which
is
not
that
immense
0.09%
I
think
was
pointed
out
recently,
but
the
relevance
of
the
cost
of
living
can
be
used
as
an
argument
for
bringing
it
down.
M
But
we
also
ever
hear
fold
in
the
growth
during
the
year
is
taking
place,
which
means
we
do
have
some
play
in
the
actual
ups
and
downs
between
the
departments,
which
I
think,
for
example,
for
police
I
think
that
we
put
some
pressure
on
them.
They
came
through
whether
we
put
more
pressure
on
than
they
come
through
or
not.
I
think
that's
up
to
Eli
and
the
police
board
to
try
to
determine
interest
rates
continue
to
be
favorable.
M
So
our
debt
situation
with
somebody
raised
we're
probably
going
to
borrow
more
money
at
lower
rates
and
the
total
payment
is
the
same,
which
is
what
we've
been
doing
for
the
last
three
years.
Probably
for
two
longer
than
that,
we
also
have
the
spectre
of
senior
governments
contributing
to
infrastructure.
That's
a
specter
because
they
say
they're
going
to,
but
we
haven't
seen
the
money
yet
and
I.
M
I
think
that
this
issue
of
whether
we
needed
to
tell
him
now
or
not,
as
probably
the
only
issue
and
whether
with
somebody
on
the
from
the
Green
Party
today
said
he
wanted
to
see
public
consultation
on
it.
Well,
we
never
have
consulted
on
it.
They've
consulted
on
pieces
of
the
budget
as
they
come
along
and
when
the
package
is
put
together.
After
all
the
committee
hearings,
not
we
we
bring
it
to
Council
SC
as
a
total
picture
and
there's
plenty
of
opportunity
for
consultation
at
that.
M
M
A
A
We
haven't
gone
too
far
to
the
right
by
promising
to
freeze
taxes
or
cut
taxes,
because
we
understand
that
there
that
comes
with
a
price
and
on
the
other
side,
we
haven't
gone
on
a
spending
spree
that
is
not
sustainable
by
the
tax
revenue
that
we
bring
in
we've
invested
in
basic
infrastructure
through
auto
on
the
move,
and
that's
a
project
that
continues
our
single
largest
investment
and
infrastructure
is
our
light.
Rail
project
and
we've
also
managed
to
reduce
the
transit
fare
increases
by
60
percent.
We've
frozen
recreation
fees.
A
The
increase
is
not
as
high
on
the
water
and
sewer
bills
and
what
we're
looking
at
doing
is
reduce
the
tax
target
by
1/2
of
1%,
which
I
think
is
very
reasonable.
Given
the
fact
that
inflation
is
running
under
2%
I
think
we
are
all
collectively
up
for
the
challenge
to
ensure
that
we
are
not
over
taxing
and
that
we
actually
bring
that
balance
to
the
table.
The
balance
between
providing
good
public
services
that
our
communities
have
come
to
expect
and,
at
the
same
time,
doing
it
in
a
prudent
and
fiscally
responsible
fashion.
A
A
lot
has
changed
since
we
all
agreed
to
the
2.5%
figure.
The
inflation
rate
has
gone
down
significantly
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
but,
as
you
all
know,
we
have
some
extenuating
circumstances
that
inflation
pays.
No
heed
to
gasoline
prices
comes
to
mind
is
the
great
example,
unlike
the
average
home
owner
who
may
have
an
option
of
carpooling
or
walking
to
work
or
cycling
or
taking
the
bus,
we
have
to
buy
gas
for
vehicles
that
operate,
24/7,
buses,
snow,
plows,
ambulances,
fire
trucks
and
police
cars,
and
that
adds
to
the
burden
of
our
cost.
A
So
when
some
have
said
well,
why
don't
you
just
bring
it
down
to
the
rate
of
inflation?
I
respond
politely
by
saying
that
the
fact
is
that
we
do
have
some
inflationary
costs
that
we
can't
control
and
that
we
have
to
continue
to
have
those
vehicles
in
the
fleet
carried
on
so
I.
Think
council
can
send
a
very
significant
message
to
our
partners
that
we're
all
in
this
together.
I
know
it's
going
to
be
difficult
because
of
arbitrated
settlements
and
some
costs
that
are
often
beyond
our
control,
but
I,
don't
think.
A
That's
a
reason
for
us
to
wave
the
white
flag
I
think
we
have
to
get
out
there
and
do
our
best
to
ensure
that
those
partners
have
as
much
lead
time
as
possible
to
prepare
their
draft
budgets
now.
The
argument
is
always
when
people
lose
the
argument
on
substance,
they
rush
to
process.
Well,
we
weren't
elected
to
constantly
harangue
process
issues
were
elected
to
make
substantive
decisions
and
there
will
be
plenty
of
opportunity
for
the
public
to
have
input
on
substance,
not
process,
and
the
substance
in
this
case
is
the
budget.
A
There'll
be
opportunities
when
the
guidelines
and
timetable
are
set
in
February
or
in
June
at
fedko,
and
then
there
will
be
ample
opportunity.
As
ward
councillors
have
Ward
specific
meetings
on
their
budget,
as
we
have
our
traditional
citywide
public
consultation
meetings
and
as
every
single
Standing
Committee
of
the
city
also
has
an
opportunity
to
address
the
budget,
as
will
all
of
our
new
advisory
committees.
So
I
estimate
they're,
probably
a
couple
dozen
opportunities
over
the
course
between
June
and
the
passage
of
the
budget
at
the
end
of
November
for
us
to
engage
the
public.
A
In
addition
to
all
of
your
encounters
with
community
associations,
your
one-on-one
meetings,
people,
stopping
you
on
the
street,
there's
lots
of
opportunity.
I
was
on
the
bus.
Today,
someone
was
giving
me
some
advice
on
where
we
could
save
money
and
I
think
there.
We
all
have
those
experiences
where
there's
lots
of
opportunity
to
get
into
the
substance
as
opposed
to
constantly
harking
back
well,
the
process
is
flawed.
I
don't
agree
that
the
process
is
flawed.
A
I
think
the
process
is
we,
as
leaders
have
to
make
a
decision
on
what
we
think
is
a
reasonable
tax
rate
to
go
to
the
people
on,
and
we
are
going
to
do
that.
I
hope
today
with
your
support
and
then
we
go
and
we
draft
the
budget
based
on
that
guideline
and
subsequently
bring
that
draft
budget
out
to
the
public
for
their
input
and
their
feedback.
A
So
I
look
forward
to
working
with
our
other
partners,
the
library,
the
Public
Health
Unit,
our
conservation
authorities,
the
police
services
board,
as
well
as,
of
course,
all
of
our
departments
under
the
leadership
of
mr.
Kirkpatrick.
So
on
the
motion
is
presented
carried
dissent
by
counselor
and
ischenko.
Thank
you.
Next
item
is
code
of
conduct
for
members
of
council
and
gift
registry
cone,
the
cones
we
pull
them
on
butts
gonna,
say
it
has
you
surveyed
they
caddo
items
two
and
three
clerk's
office
advise
them
it
should
be
dealt
with
together.
A
We
have
two
motions
that
I'm
aware
of
and
I'll
ask
that
counselor
as
counselor
to
rush
here.
Who
has
a
motion
as
well.
We'll
start,
then,
with
councillors,
sure
Ellie
has
a
motion.
If
you'd
like
to
introduce
Anne,
anyone
else
has
a
motion.
If
they
could,
please
bring
it
forward
at
this
point
and
we'll
put
those
on
the
record
councillor
Shirley,
please
thank.
L
Ward
will
not
be
permitted
without
the
prior
approval
of
the
city,
clerk
and
solicitor
for
it
or
the
deputy
clerk
in
consultation
with
the
integrity.
Commissioner,
notwithstanding,
it
has
recognized
that
advertising
and
mass
media
and
broader
circulation,
publications
and
some
unaddressed,
postal
walks
will
cross
Ward
boundaries,
and
these
are
exempt
we're
outside
the
control
of
the
member
seeking
to
direct
mail
market
to
his
or
her
ward
residence.
So
that's
that's
that
if
we
could
deal
with
that,
then
I
have
another
question.
Okay,.
A
P
P
A
A
L
Ahead
so
the
the
this
is
in
relation
to
the
cap.
So
as
somebody
who
is
nowhere
near
the
cap,
I'm
just
hearing
people
question
as
to
when
or
how
it
would
come
into
effect.
So
I'm
wondering
do
I
need
a
motion,
or
can
we
simply
give
direction
to
have
the
introduction
of
the
limits
on
the
cap?
Be
prorated,
beginning
July
1st,
because
there
are
a
number
of
ways
to
deal
with
that.
So,
if
my
intention
is
to
have
it
prorated
do
I,
do
I,
move
a
motion
or
as
direction
good
enough.
F
Mr.
mayor,
we
do
we
take
a
direction
and
we're
just
conversing
to
be
absolutely
clear
if
I
understood
the
councillor,
if
you're
looking
for
a
pro-rated
on
the
estimated
$8,500,
our
3.5%.
So
what
I
would
understand
is
from
July
1st
to
December
31st.
Then
each
member
of
council
in
their
constituency
budget
would
be
limited
to
approximately
forty
two
hundred
and
fifty
dollars.
L
H
Towards
the
cap,
a
significant
portion
so
say,
if
they're
already,
maybe
more
than
50
percent
towards
their
annual
cap,
that
that
be
prorated,
because
otherwise
it
actually
limits
those
members
of
council
who
traditionally
spend
in
the
fall
and
winter
below
what
others
do,
because
each
of
your
spending
patterns
varies
in
terms
of
donations
based
on
your
individual
community.
So
I
would
be
concerned
that
members
of
council
who
traditionally
have
don't
but
donations
more
in
the
fall
and
winter
that
they
would
be
penalized.
L
L
That
would
be
the
direction
I
would
want,
because
there
are
a
number
of
members.
Who've
done
some
pretty
methodical
planning
for
the
year
and
to
have
it
suddenly
change.
It
might
cause
disruption
in
the
community
among
people
who
are
relying
on
it.
Is
that
okay,
as
direction
or
do
I
need
a
motion?
Well.
A
I'm
not
clear
as
to
what
what's
happening.
My
understanding
is,
the
vast
majority
of
members
of
council
are
below
the
3.5%
cap
is
about
five
members
who
are
traditionally
above
the
five
percent.
Do
we
have
any
figures
as
to
where
people
stand
now
that
you
know,
is
this
even
necessary,
or
can
we
just
begin
it
July
first,
as
was
originally
intended.
A
A
H
A
L
A
Right
so
what
I'm
just
saying,
I
guess
what
we
need
from
you
is
clarity
in
terms
of
emotion.
What
are
you
proposing?
So
if
you
want
to
give
that
some
thought
and
we'll
come
back
to
you,
okay
and
you
might
want
to
just
consult
with
the
clerk
and
the
integrity
commissioner,
on
the
drafting
of
that
counselor
Dean's,
please
listen!
We're
dealing
just
counselor
Dean's
reminded
me:
it's
both
items
two
and
three
together.
So
if
you
have
questions
on
on
either
this
would
be
the
occasion
Thank.
Q
You
mr.
Mehra
I
apologize
for
not
being
available
to
attend
the
committee
meeting
last
week
and
so
I'm
seeking
clarity
on
item
number
three,
which
is
the
counsel,
expense
policy
and
community
fundraising
the
special
events
policy.
There
was
a
committee
recommendation
that
was
amended
to
say
in
an
election
year.
A
member
of
Council
must
not
seek
donations
and
sponsorships
for
any
event
that
has
not
been
staged
in
the
previous
two
years.
Q
Q
That
gives
you
know
water
bottles
or
what-have-you.
For
those
events
and
that
to
me
it's
very
much
a
line
of
duty
of
what
the
members
of
council
do,
whether
it's
an
election
year
or
not,
that
work
of
the
city
goes
on.
So
mr.
Merlin,
my
question
to
you
is:
how
would
you
interpret
this,
and
would
you
see
that
those
Park
events
that
we
do
the
park
openings
in
the
new
facility
openings
in
our
wards
would
be
exempt
from
this
recommendation?.
B
Mr.
Bergeron
answer
that
question:
the
simple
answer
is
yes,
it
would
be
exempt.
It
seems
to
me
that
official
Park
openings
are
planned
well
in
advance
as
well.
They
may
occur
in
a
blackout
period,
but
they're
usually
planned
well
in
advance.
There
they're,
partly
city
organized,
so
these
are
municipal
functions.
They
fall
within
the
official
responsibilities
of
a
councillor
to
participate,
the
kinds
of
sponsorships
and
donations
that
the
councillor
is
talking
about,
our
minor,
their
pizzas,
their
water
bottles,
as
you
say,
or
otherwise,
so
they
would
be
exempt.
B
I
would
advise
councillors
as
much
as
possible
in
an
election
year
to
consult
with
the
deputy
clerk
and
myself
in
well
in
advance
of
these
just
to
avoid
any
kinds
of
issues
that
might
arise
and
manage
the
perception
of
some
of
these
events
occurring
during
the
election,
the
close
election
period,
but
the
council
is
quite
right.
Those
are
those
kinds
of
events
would
be
exempt.
Thank.
B
B
Traditionally,
this
parade
float
for
the
firefighters
has
been
funded
through
protocol
until
last
year.
It
was
the
first
time
for
this
parade
of
over
a
hundred
thousand
people
that
the
forest
and
councilors
plus
the
chair
of
CPS,
had
to
champion
to
be
able
to
fund
this
float.
I
expect
that's
gonna,
be
a
regional
pressure
on
us
and
it
could
get
quite
big,
so
I
guess
this
might
not
be
for
you
Bob.
It
might
be
more
about
the
protocol.
I
think
that
makes
perfect
sense.
B
F
B
And
thank
you
very
much
mr.
chair
and
mr.
O'connor,
but
that's
great
but
I'm.
Just
I'm
wondering
who
currently
has
access
to
that
protocol
budget
is
something
that
we
can
actually
suggest.
Look
it
with
members
of
council
is
a
parade
of
a
hundred
thousand
people,
make
sense
for
something
to
be
paid
out
of
the
protocol
budget,
or
is
this
something
that
that
it's
its
own
independent
office
and
they
get
their
decisions
on
that.
F
B
O
You
mr.
mayor
I
had
a
question
and
it
it
I'm.
Referring
back
to
the
fedka
meeting.
I
asked
two
questions
specific
one
in
regard
to
work
in
our
municipalities,
the
road
side
of
City
of
Ottawa
I
specifically
asked
about
Mary
oval
and
the
ability
to
support
that
organization
that
municipal
that
village
is
part
of
the
Russell
Township
North
Dundas
City
of
Ottawa
Osgood
Ward.
O
O
Firmly
believe
that
we
should
be
doing
that
I've
contributed
out
of
my
office
budget
towards
events
that
are
on
that
side
of
the
road
to
the
township
of
Russell.
At
the
Fed
Co
meeting
I
asked
about
this
and
I
raised
it
with
the
deputy
city
manager
Cadillac.
As
he
said,
there
are
no
provisions
at
that
meeting.
I
I
thought
I
was
assured
that
there
were
provisions,
because
that
I
in
some
fashion,
I,
will
continue
to
support
that
situation.
O
There
is
another
one
on
the
same:
Road
Marvell,
Ville,
Community
Association
their
building
is
on
the
Russell
side,
but
ninety
percent
of
the
people
who
use
that
Community
Hall
live
in
the
Osgood
side,
so
I
think
Ottawa,
side
and
I.
Think
there
is
that
we
we
have
an
obligation
to
support
those
sofas.
I
would
like
to
get
that
clarified
here
today.
A
B
Mayor,
yes,
we
were
aware
of
the
inquiry
and
I
think
in
the
past
staff
have
looked
at
this,
and
even
though
initial
review
of
the
formal
granting
program
didn't
find
a
direct
way
to
fund
Russell
Township
for
in
order
for
them
to
fund
the
association,
we
did
commit
to
go
and
look
at
whether
there
are
other
ways
to
work
with
that
community.
In
order
to
make
something
happen,
that
that
would
be
positive
for
everyone.
So
we
will
take
that
away
and
and
figure
out
a
solution
that
works.
A
It
might
be
something
counselor
that,
as
opposed
to
giving
a
grant
to
an
outside
municipality,
that
the
Community
Association
on
your
side
of
the
border
be
given
some
purchase
a
service
for
X
percent
of
the
operation
of
the
rink,
so
that
the
money
is
being
given
to
a
local
Ottawa
group,
as
opposed
to
the
township
of
Russell.
Thank.
O
You
for
that,
mr.
mayor,
it
is,
it
is
a.
It
is
a
very
unique
situation.
I
and
I
I
will
await
senior
Seth
response
to
that,
but
the
Community
Association
for
Marion
Ville
is
is
made
up
of
representatives
from
the
three
municipalities.
I
sit
on
that.
So,
in
fact
the
contribution
goes
to
the
Mary
on
validity,
Association,
which
is
part
of
three
different
municipalities.
So
it
is
a
bit
of
an
awkward
situation.
O
O
G
America,
just
following
up
on
accounts
or
Tierney's
and
commenting
operator
lights,
I,
don't
know,
I
mean
Parade
of
Lights.
It's
a
quite
a
large
amount,
and
he
asked
me
as
protocol
was
not
doing
it's
when
the
counselors
decided
to
do
it
in
the
new
scenario
and
I
just
want
some
clarification
there.
When
we,
when
we
sponsor
parada
lights,
they
do
put
in
their
in
their
newsletter
or
whatever.
You
know
that
counselors
have
supported.
It
is
this:
does
this
go
under
the
advertising
budget
in
the
future?.
H
G
It
was
through
our
office
budget
and
through
the
Parade
of
Lights,
when
it
was
was
they
would
they
put
it
in
their
flyers
or
advertising
that
we
have
supported
them?
Praying
the
lights
now,
just
for
clarity
for
everybody
around
the
table
when
it's
an
event
like
that,
and
they
do
recognise
it
in
the
newsletter
or
whatever.
Is
that
considered
under
advertising?
Or
is
it
considered
under
a
different
form.
H
G
Okay,
so
they
asked
us
for
help.
We
ought
mean,
let's
use
a
Canon
today.
It's
an
example
that
featuring
item
which
draws
25,000
people,
no
councillor,
blows
myself,
I'm
sure
the
other
counts.
Some
of
the
other
councillors
would
have
supported
it
also
at
Cannon.
Today.
It's
a
sponsorship
package,
but
part
of
the
package
is
that
you
are
recognized
for
your
donation.
To
the
event
is
that
considering
advertising
also.
P
You
mr.
mayor
just
two
questions
that
Akali
councilors
really
asked
me
about
my
motion
that
I'm
moving
with
councillor
Elgin
Terry.
This
still,
this
would
include
the
committee
of
adjustment,
so
this
is
mr.
Connor.
This
would
include
the
committee
of
adjustment
the
way
it's
worded.
So
this
means
a
letter.
This
means
participating
directly
in
the
community
adjustment,
which
is
a
quasi
judicial
body,
which
is
meant
to
operate
at
arm's
length
in
an
independent
fashion
from
counsel.
P
P
Second
question
is
respect
to
a
licensing
body
such
as
the
LCBO,
where
our
input
is
actually
sought
into
their
decision-making
process.
So
would
we
need
to
tinker
with
our
wording?
That
is
one
where
again,
we
are
consulted
by
the
license,
the
licensing
body
and
a
cgo
as
well.
So
how
would
we
would
we
need
to
tinker
with
this?
Mr.
mr.
mr.
coroner
to
make
it
clear
that
those
bodies
that
seek
are
our
input
as
part
of
their
process
would
still
be
acceptable.
P
F
B
You
very
much
mr.
mayor
and
that's
just
one
very,
very
small
question
in
terms
of
events.
Councilman
I'd
mentioned
Canada
Day
in
certain
of
those
events
through
the
seat
program.
We're
obligated
to
you
know,
go
out
and
bring
barriers,
and
you
know
some
furniture
up
until
now,
some
of
the
off
some
of
the
departments
have
been
covering
that
cost.
Now
that
cost
comes
back
to
our
budget
because
we'll
have
to
go
and
rent
barriers
and
chairs
and
that
kind
of
stuff.
How
is
that
going
to
work
in
terms
of
the
expense
account
for
the
office?
H
Mr.
Merrit
the
and
the
in-kind
sort
of
sponsorship
arrangement
we
have
with
Parks
and
Recreation
that
carries
on
any
overage
that
the
counselors
offices
but
budgets
beyond
that
credit
that
that
you
guys
each
of
you
gets
and
that's
a
currently
and
and
there's
no
change
in
this-
is
funded
under
the
community
events
envelope,
because
it's
a
partnership
between
you
and
your
Community
Association
for
those
things,
especially
when
we're
working
with
city
staff
with
within
your
credits
as
we
do
now.
Okay,.
A
R
R
Well,
you
know
that's
doing
us
pretty
much
all
a
favor,
because
how
many
times
do
we
get
asked
by
people
who
get
a
ticket
from
by-law
for
parking
on
the
street
and
they
think
that
the
City
of
Ottawa
has
somehow
all
of
a
sudden
come
up
with
a
three-hour
plan
between
seven
and
seven
and
and
so
they
have
expectations
that
there's
something
that
we
can
do
so.
I.
Think
that
clarifies
that
and
I
like
that.
R
But
I
think
that
when
you
just
came
back
councillor
jarash
and
talked
about
community
adjustment,
I
am
sure
that
someone
like
councillor
Hobbs
would
have
a
great
deal
of
difficulty
in
her
ward.
I
looked
to
the
number
of
committee
of
adjustment
files
that
go
through
from
your
ward
councillor
and
like
Planning
Committee
with
planning
committee,
for
example.
This
thing
about
the
committee
of
adjustment
and
these
applications
are
small
small
planning
committee
applications
and
yet
the
Planning
Committee.
R
We
are
there
to
help
and
to
guide
and
support
the
residents
that
are
near
neighbours
involved
in
the
process,
whether
the
applicants
or
or
whatever.
But
we
are
there
for
that
kind
of
support.
I
know,
councillor
Holmes
is
going
to
be
moving
an
omnibus
motion
shortly
with
councillor
Hume,
doing
her
job
for
the
people
she
represents.
R
So
I
think
that
the
committee
of
adjustment
I
would
not
want
to
see
my
hands
tied
or
particularly,
the
councillors
in
the
in
the
more
older
urban
areas
that
have
a
real
preponderance
of
these
kinds
of
applications
that
do
go
through
that
process.
I
see
that,
while
it's
a
smaller
process,
it
still
is
a
planning
process
and
the
community
looks
for
our
support
so
I'm
not
sure
why
we
would
lump
that
into
it.
But
I
guess,
city
solicitor.
F
F
R
It's
quasi
judicial,
the
court
of
revision,
correct
so
I
mean
I'm.
Just
saying
that
I
think
that
the
essence
of
this
is
good,
but
I
don't
think
that
our
hands
should
be
tied
if
we
need
to
help
a
nap
one
of
our
residents
or
businesses
with
an
application
that
is
minor
enough,
that
it
can
go
through
the
process
of
the
committee
of
adjustment
and,
if
you're
saying
that
it
has
to
do
that,
I'm
gonna.
R
R
mayor
for
people
in
the
suburbs,
because
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
that,
although,
as
in
the
older
parts
of
our
community,
we
have
people
that
are
putting
in
a
you
know
a
severance
or
it's
a
gram,
a
granny,
sweet
or
different
things
like
that,
but
for
many
of
the
other
councillors
around
this
table,
there's
a
lot
of
that
and
that
they're
they're
the
people
to
vote
for
them
expect
them
to
help
than
with.
Thank
you,
okay,.
C
To
that
I
I
don't
generally
interfere
in
anything
with
the
committee
of
adjustment.
However,
I
do
advise
residents
that
are
looking
for
support,
as
counselor
harder
has
indicated
that
are
coming
in
and
talking
about,
infill
and
and
what
issues
they
might
have
and
how
to
deal
with
committee
of
adjustment
and
give
them
advice
on
you
know.
Just
lots
of
different
things
is
that,
okay,
if
we
pass
a
motion
like
this.
B
L
H
You
mr.
mayor
I
have
no
problem
with,
as
it
says,
no
not
in
to
attempt
to
influence
or
interfere
directly
or
indirectly,
financially
or
other
with
a
decision
of
city
employees.
That
would
mean
the
Planning
Department.
That
means
I
can't
make
a
recommendation
for
a
change
in
the
conditions
of
a
subdivision
or
building
that's
coming
up,
because
I
would
then
be
influencing
them
by
saying
they
should
make
a
change.
That's
what
it
says.
R
F
H
That's
not
what
it
say:
I'm
reading
the
first
paragraph
and
read
it
it
says
to
in
not
attempt
to
influence
or
interfere,
either
directly
or
indirectly,
financially,
politically
or
otherwise.
With
the
decisions
of
city,
employees
has
any
city
employee
that
includes
the
Planning
Department
and
I
frequently
make
what
I
call
suggestions,
but
that
is
influencing
their
decisions
if
they
accept
those
suggestions
and
if
I
can't
do
that,
I'm
not
doing
my
job
at
all,
because
I'm
planning
things
it's
really
important
and
the
same
thing
with
the
committee
of
adjustment.
H
If
I
don't
like
what
the
committee
adjustment
does,
you're
saying
me,
I
can't
even
appeal
it
to
the
OMB.
I
can't
do
anything
to
change
a
decision
that
might
be
made:
it's
not
it
once
the
decision
is
being
made.
I
don't
have
as
much
of
a
problem
with
it,
but
if
you're
influencing
the
making
of
it
and
that's
what
I
read
into
this,
that
I
think
you
are
taking
us
and
saying
you
cannot
do
your
job.
You
cannot
stand
up
for
your
residents.
You
cannot
suggest
the
changes
to
anything.
H
O
P
Would
be
wrap
up
here?
Mr.
mayor
I
can
recall
some
twenty
years
ago
in
my
first
political
science
course,
the
University
of
Ottawa
that
you
there
needs
to
be
a
separation
between
the
legislature
and
the
executive
and
the
judiciary,
and
there
is
a
long
graveyard
of
politicians
who
have
called
judges
who
have
intervened
in
the
judicial
process
and
you
know
suffer
the
consequences.
So
we
and
the
province
have
set
up
these
bodies
as
independent
quasi
judicial
bodies
that
are
to
be
free
of
any
political
influence.
P
I,
don't
think
anyone
is
suggesting
that
you
cannot
meet
with
a
constituent
and
offer
them
some
advice
and
guidance,
but
to
participate
directly
in
the
process,
either
by
writing
a
letter
or
attending
and
speak
on
their
behalf.
I
think
it's
political
influence
on
a
quasi-judicial
body
that
is
I,
think
a
should
be
prohibited
and
I
think
it's
a
best
practice
across
the
province.
I
know
a
number
of
councillors
already
do
this.
Do
they
do
not
participate
directly
in
in
the
Tribunal's
and
again
I?
P
A
F
Mayor
the
way
that
we
would
look
at
this
is
reading,
not
only
this
paragraph
in
conjunction
with
the
following
paragraph,
which
provides
some
examples.
But
reading
the
end
of
the
sentence
of
the
first
paragraph,
which
talks
about
those
individuals
charged
with
making
decisions
as
part
of
an
independent
arms-length
process
which
I
think
takes
it
out
of
the
realm
of
dealing
with
planning
staff
on
matters
before
planning
committee.
I.
Think.
F
F
So
enough,
so
just
to
clarify,
if
there's
a
case
being
brought
before
licensed
appeals
committee
or
Eliza's
fields
tribunal
as
a
charge
from
bylaw,
then
councillors
who
may
have
been
involved
with
bylaw
to
incent
the
making
of
that
charge
and
I'm
thinking
specifically
of
our
ongoing
band
to
tax
the
issue
and
abandoned
limousines.
We
can't
liaised
with
or
Kate
we
can.
We
can't
work
with
the
bylaw
department
in
terms
of
moving
those
things
forward,
that
that
would
be
my
interpretation
I.
A
Am
colleagues
I
have
a
suggestion?
This
is
we've
had
a
number
of
concerns
raised
about
this
I
appreciate
where
counselor
to
Russian
counselor
Al
Shean
teary
are
going
with
it
in
terms
of
keeping
an
arm's
length
relationship,
but
there
are
a
number
of
examples
that
were
being
brought
up.
I
think
we
need
this
to
go
back
to
committee
and
have
a
staff
report
on
what
we
you
know.
I
think
what
we
want
to
try
to
get
at
are
those
quasi
judicial
bodies
where
we
shouldn't
be
interfering
versus
those
issues
as
constituency
matters.
A
We
should
be
engaging
in
so
I'm
prepared
to
move
this
back
to
committee
for
a
full
report
by
the
city
clerk
seconded
by
Councillor.
Wilkinson
people
agree
to
refer
because
I
think
the
intent
is
is
correct,
but
I
think
we've
got
so
many
of
these
different
agencies
and
groups
and
I
had
some
difficulty
with
the
word
city
employees,
as
opposed
to
the
ones
that
are
just
adjudicating
so
on
referral
to
fedko
carried
okay
counselor
blow
us
I
believe
you've
spoken
already
on
this
item.
You
had
your
turn
yeah,
which
week
what's
that,
which
week.
E
Deferred
that
serves
my
purpose,
but
I
was
gonna,
say
there.
That
motion
there's,
obviously
a
wording
issue
in
that
motion
and
with
all
due
respect
to
those
who
took
Poli
Sci
101
at
Carleton.
That
motion
does
not
work
and
I
think
as
you've
indicated,
it
does
need
to
be
sent
back
to
staff
to
be
rewritten,
so
it.
E
A
L
Time
served
sure
Ellie,
please
thank
your
worship
all
you
had.
You
had
to
choose
one
regime
or
another
or
another
to
bring
it
into
force,
so
it's
be
resolved
for
2013
we're.
A
member
of
Council
has
expended
more
than
50%
of
the
value
of
the
3.5
percent
cap
on
July
1st
2000
13.
They
be
permitted
to
expend
up
to
50%
of
the
value
of
the
annual
capsule.
That's
prorated
for
the
remainder
of
the
year.
Okay,.
A
A
Thank
you
all
very
much
item
number
four
is
the
center
town
community
design
plan
and
official
plan
amendment
councillor
Holmes
has
three
motions
and
I'd
ask
that
she
introduced
some
one
at
a
time.
This
is
a
somewhat
complicated
issue,
so
if
you
can
introduce
each
one
at
a
time
and
speak
to
it
and
then
we'll
open
for
questions
so
there's
there's
there's
three
correct.
Yes,.
S
S
You
very
much
mr.
mayor
I
just
wanted
to
start
by
saying
that
this
has
been
a
three
and
a
half
year
process.
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
who've
gone
through
those
three
and
a
half
years
with
many
public
meetings,
many
consultations
with
the
public
and
the
development
community
and
the
Community
Association.
It
has
been
a
long
process.
It's
been
a
good
process,
there's
been
lots
of
public
engagement,
so
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
and
thank
George
dart
for
his
vision
that
he
brought
forward
for
this
part
of
town.
S
We
have
the
ideas
of
more
parkland,
greening
our
streets.
Looking
after
our
heritage
buildings
with
designated
areas
in
this
center
town
area,
there's
a
high-rise
area
in
the
north
end,
another
high-rise
area
along
Catherine,
Street
they're,
the
two
low-rise
areas
designated
the
Golden
Triangle
in
the
East
and
the
area
west
of
Kent
in
the
West
and
then
the
middle
area
that
is
now
going
to
be
a
mid-rise.
S
So
this
is
an
area
that's
going
to
have
10,000
more
people
and
we
need
more
park
space.
We
need
some
community
benefits
that
will
be
necessary
for
people
moving
into
this
area
when
we
upped
the
number
of
people
who
will
live
here.
So
as
a
result
of
the
agreement
structured
between
the
Community
Association
and
the
developers,
we
have
a
couple
of
motions.
They
came
to
planning
committee
and
Planning.
S
Committee
referred
all
that
public
comment
that
came
in
to
Planning
Committee
to
the
staff
and
as
a
result,
we
have
some
motions
here
before
us
from
the
staff.
One
is
if
you're
looking
at
your
order
of
consideration,
it
is
an
X
E.
It's
an
omnibus
motion
from
staff,
as
they
responded
to
the
many
recommendations
that
were
sent
from
Planning
Committee,
and
so
this
motion,
annex
C,
creates
some
clearer
definitions
of
processes.
Some
clear
definitions
of
areas
talks
about
heritage
and
how
we
need
to
protect
our
heritage
and
the
center
town
heritage
study.
S
That
will
be
done.
It
talks
about
built
form
and
sets
out
the
guidelines
for
the
built
form,
whether
that
is
the
mid
rise
or
the
high
rise.
It
talks
about
landmark
buildings,
which
is
a
new
concept
to
come
forward
to
allow
landmark
buildings
in
that
mid
rise
area
up
to
27
stories,
with
very
strict
criteria,
so
they
will
have
to
be
on
three
streets.
They
will
have
to
have
a
public
park
as
incorporated.
S
So
it's
a
very
interesting
new
concept
and
with
very
strict
guidelines.
So
people
in
the
area
know
exactly
what's
happening
and
then
changing
some
of
the
minor
height
matters
along
Cartier
Gladstone,
just
to
establish
what
was
meant
but
which
needed
more
clarity
in
the
wording.
So
that
motion
comes
from
staff
and
is
agreed
to
by
all
then
there's
a
motion
also
from
staff
on
small
moments
and
that's
a
policy
idea
that
has
arisen
as
a
result
of
the
joint
agreement.
S
It's
for
the
middle
area,
that's
the
nine
story
area
and
there
was
a
request
to
have
higher
buildings.
If
a
small
moment
was
provided
by
the
developer,
small
moments
is
not
defined,
whether
that's
to
be
owned
by
the
public
or
owned
by
the
corporation
or
owned
by
the
condominium
is
not
established.
So
what
the
staff
are
suggesting
is
the
concept
is
very
interesting.
S
What
we
do
need,
though,
be
it
resolved
that
the
small
moments
recommendation
be
the
subject
of
a
study
to
be
included
in
the
planning
and
growth
management
department,
2014
work
program,
so
the
department
has
committed
to
look
at
that
policy
on
a
citywide
basis,
see
how
we
can
use
it,
how
we
can
work
with
the
other
departments,
including,
of
course,
the
recreation
department,
to
bring
this
forward
as
a
result
of
the
study
ongoing
in
2014.
Then,
mr.
deputy
mayor,
the
last
matter
is
a
residential
mixed-use
motion
from
myself
and
councillor
Clark.
S
The
last
remaining
problem
in
this
whole
area
is
the
fact
that
that
central
character
area
from
Cartier
to
Kent
and
from
about
Cooper
to
Argyle
that
whole
central
area
and
now
has
office
uses
commercial
uses
proposed
in
this
plan.
Now
for
the
last
30
years,
it
has
been
residential
only
so
as
to
provide
the
residential
capacity
to
help
Bank,
Street
and
Elgon
Street
and,
of
course,
to
feed
into
the
central
area.
So
this
is
going
to
be
a
change,
adding
commercial
uses
and
retail
uses
into
that
residential
area.
S
Some
of
those
buildings
are
only
three
stories
high
and
we're
talking
about
one
and
two
storey:
commercial
ability
in
those
buildings
which
will
leave
a
third
story
of
residential.
It
would
work
in
a
larger
building,
but
many
of
those
buildings
are
going
to
stay
three
storeys.
So
over
time,
you'll
look
down
the
street
and
you'll
see
commercial
signs
all
the
way
down
that
Street
and
it
will
have
the
appearance,
then
really
of
a
commercial
area
rather
than
a
residential
area.
S
So
the
motion
here
is
to
remove
that
convert
mixed-use
residential
zone
to
return
it
to
a
residential
zone,
as
it
has
been
for
the
last
thirty
years
it
will
increase
in
height
because
it's
the
it's
the
middle
area,
so
it
will
go
from
four
to
nine
stories,
but
I'm
asking
that
the
commercial
use
be
deleted
and
this
be
strictly
a
residential
area.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
J
Mr.
deputy
mayor,
thank
you.
The
counselor
is
outlined
very
well.
The
the
motions
that
have
been
put
forward
forward
in
front
of
you
today
and
I
would
concur
that
it's
been
an
interesting
process
and
as
staff,
we
have
learned
a
lot
with
working
with
the
Community
Association
in
the
development
industry
and
what
we
have
before
you
and
the
two
motions
that
have
been
described
are
certainly
what
we
would
recommend
and
put
forward
to
you
today.
The
third
motion,
in
particular
that
the
counselor
has
just
outlined
staff,
would
not
support
the
third
motion.
J
Specifically,
we
are
looking
at
examining
new
ways
of
living.
Part
of
the
proposal
that
we're
putting
forward
here
is
to
have
an
opportunity
for
people
to
live,
work
and
play
in
their
community.
So,
although
30
years
ago
this
was
a
residential
area,
we
do
really
believe
that
this
has
changed
and
evolved
and
that,
through
our
study
and
research,
is
it's
a
more
sustainable
approach
to
looking
at
offering
people
the
opportunity
to,
within
their
community,
the
urban
community
be
able
to
grab
a
coffee
on
their
ground
floor.
J
D
Thank
You
mr.
man
I
think
if
just
on
a
point
of
order,
mr.
mayor,
if
you'd
split
off
I
think
the
first
is
it
two
motions
to
the
small
moments
and
the
staff
response
to
submissions.
If
we
could
take
that
and
deal
with
that,
because
I
think
that
there's
broad
support
for
that
I
think
we
need
to
speak
to
and
debate
the
Holmes
Clarke
Holmes
Clarke
motion.
If.
A
I
just
for
clarification,
what
I'm
gonna
recommend
is.
The
first
motion
is
the
Holmes
Clark,
because
we
have
to
vote
on
that.
First
then
followed
by
the
what's
called
the
omnibus
motion
and
in
Fault
by
the
small
moments,
because
if,
if
motion
number
one
passes,
we
have
to
amend
motion
number
two
right
so
I
think
if
you
would
give
us
your
council
on
the
residential
mixed-use,
that's
the
one
that
staff
are
not
recommending,
I,
believe
and
I
believe
there's
support
for
the
omnibus
in
small
moment.
So.
D
So
what
you
see
before
you
in
the
small
moments
motion
and
the
Omnibus
motion-
are
the
very
considered
response
to
what
we
heard
at
at
Planning
Committee,
so
I
would
encourage
you,
members
of
council
to
to
vote
for
that.
They
should
also
members
of
council
should
also
understand
that
we
have.
The
support
for
the
plan
that
we
have
in
front
of
us
is
growing.
You'll
have
received
an
email
from
neo
Mehrotra,
one
of
Ottawa's
major
developers
who
says
you
know,
listen
I
support
this
plan.
This
is
a
good
plan.
It
will
serve
the
the
future.
D
Well,
we
will
be
doing
a
number
of
things
we'll
be
doing
small
moments,
but
will
also
be
strengthening
the
heritage
in
in
that
area,
because
we've
committed
to
undertaking
the
heritage
work
that
needs
to
be
done
in
the
Golden
Triangle
and
in
in
the
areas
in
which
the
broader
plan
recommends.
However,
mr.
D
mayor,
the
one
part
of
the
plan
that
is
the
subject
of
the
of
a
motion
that
staff
don't
support,
is
the
residential
mixed-use
clause
and
I'm
going
to
urge
you,
although
I
understand
where
councillor
Holmes
is
coming
from
I'm,
going
to
urge
you
not
to
support
that,
because
I
don't
think
it
reflects
the
modern
or
reality
of
an
urban
City
at
one
time
this
would
have
been
and
I
think
it
was
at
one
time
incredibly
appropriate
to
separate
those
uses.
You
have
your
commercial
area.
D
You
have
your
residential
area
because
at
the
time
I'm
not
sure
that
that
cities
were
sophisticated
enough
to
be
able
to
contain
that
that
growth
and
as
what
you've
got
is
you've
got
a
tremendous
erosion
of
your
residential
areas.
That's
not
the
reality
that
we
see
on
the
on
the
ground
today.
What
were
what
this
residential
mixed
use
zone
promotes?
D
Is
it
promotes
that
philosophy
that
you'll
be
able
to
work
you'll
be
able
to
live
and
you'll
be
able
to
shop
in
virtually
the
same
location
that
you
live
so
you'll
be
able
to
go
down,
maybe
get
your
office.
On
the
second
floor,
there
may
be
a
coffee
shop
on
on
the
ground
floor,
so
it
promotes
that
very
urban
fabric
that
integration
of
the
living
and
the
working
programs
that
we
all
are
aspiring
to.
We
all
want
our
downtown
to
be
vibrant.
D
You
don't
want
to
have
to
go
out
of
your
building
and
walk
10
blocks
to
the
coffee
shop.
So
what
this
residential
mixed
use
zone
does
in
a
very,
very
folk
small
way
is
that
allows
those
coffee
shops
to
be
established
in
the
on
the
ground
floor
or
the
second
floor
only
of
buildings
and
I
think
in
fact,
in
fact,
if
I
will
be
more
specific,
you'd
have
those
uses
along
the
ground
floor,
you
may
have
a
small
office
use,
whether
it's
a
dental
office
or
whether
it's
whatever
other
office
use.
D
You
could
see
right
in
in
that
zone,
but
that's
where
it
stops
and
I
think
that
it
is
an
appropriate
evolution
of
that
or
the
urban
fabric
in
these
communities
to
allow
that
organic
change
to
happen.
You
know
the
idea
that
we
were
we're
going
to
draw
that
line,
and
you
know
you're
crossing
the
Demilitarized
Zone
from
you
know.
Commercial
from
the
coffee
shops
to
the
residential
area,
I
think,
is
something
that
harkens
back
to
a
time
when
Center
town
needed
to
be
protected.
D
I
don't
think
that
exists
today
and
if
there
are
issues
around
signage
and
and
those
other
things
that
the
mixed
use
area
will
bring,
will
deal
with.
That
I
mean
there
are
very
creative
ways
to
be
able
to
manage
those
issues
and
that
those
are
management
issues.
But
as
a
broad
policy
members
of
council,
the
mixed
use
zone
that
was
been
recommended
by
George
dark
and
it's
supported
by
our
staff
is
the
the
right
way
to
move
as
as
we
evolved
and
as
this
Center
town
plan
evolves.
D
K
Think
back
to
my
first
two
weeks
here
on
counsel,
detail,
end
of
a
raging
debate
of
outdoor
patios
that
we're
moving
from
Elgon
Street
around
the
corner
and
starting
to
march
down
residential
streets
and
the
concern
those
ultimately
majority
of
council
passed
them
and
a
concern
of
the
neighbors
being
that
there
are
certain
kinds
of
activities
that
you
don't
want
to
see
and
listen
to
outside
your
window.
Late
hours
or
early
hours,
I
have
heard
the
more
benign
ones:
the
coffee
shop,
the
dental,
the
doctor's
office,
the
home
business.
K
J
Mayor
through
you,
just
maybe
to
clarify
with
this
particular
area
of
the
mixed-use
center,
this
doesn't
indicate
to
development
that
they
must
provide
for
commercial
uses.
This
just
allows
and
is
a
little
more
permissive,
so
in
fact
someone
could
have
a
full
building
of
9
storeys
of
a
residential
nature.
Now,
if
they
chose
to
the
bottom,
two
floors
could
be
considered.
The
particular
uses
of
retail,
of
small-scale
commercial,
such
as
personal
services
offices,
could
be
daycares
provided
coffee
shops,
those
sorts
of
amenities
to
help
support
living
in
a
community.
K
K
M
You
mr.
chair
I'm
I
am
supporting
this
for
a
reason.
The
reason
is
that
the
definition
of
mixed
juice
is
too
big,
too
open-ended
and,
as
was
pointed
out,
the
putting
a
bar
or
pub
or
for
argument's
sake,
even
a
jazz
club
in
the
middle
of
a
residential
area
doesn't
seem
to
make
sense
to
me,
and
it
does
for
my
friend
here
he's
a
lot
younger
I.
Just
think
that
we
need
to
look
at
at
a
better
definition
of
what
we
mean
by
mixed
use,
because
an
open
ended,
one
is
to
my
view.
M
Well,
it
might
not
limit
you
in
a
planning
sense.
It
can
limit
you
in
what
we'll
call
the
practical
realities.
If
you
say
that,
then
it
worth
else
no
matter
what
use
they
suggest
is
gonna
say:
well,
it's
alright!
That's
in
in
this
particular
CDP,
and
that
worries
me
a
little
bit
because
it
is
too
open-ended.
J

A

Thank
You
lat,
Thank
You

Okay,.
F
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and
this
motion
moved
by
myself,
it's
seconded
by
Councillor
hubely.
With
regard
to
the
latest
iteration
of
taxi
issues.
We
are
asking
that
the
general
manager
there
were
sorry
the
response
by
staff
on
various
taxi
related
motions
of
April
2012
be
further
deferred,
so
that
staff
have
the
time
to
take
into
account
the
various
other
components
that
we're
seeking
would
come
together
in
a
final
report,
including
specifically
peripera
Transpo,
and
our
consideration
of
our
ongoing
bandit
cab
initiatives.
F
And
it
be
it
further
resolved
that
the
general
manager
of
emergency
objective
services
be
directed
to
strike
an
internal
working
group
among
bylaw
and
regulatory
services,
transit
services,
city
clerk
and
solicitor
and
other
affected
areas
of
the
city
to
further
review
the
April
11
2012
taxi
related
enquiries
and
the
evolving
areas
noted
above
and
to
conduct
further
consultation
with
stakeholders
within
the
taxi
industry,
the
accessible
community,
the
new
accessibility,
Advisory
Committee
and
the
public
on
these
issues
and
to
report
back
when
completed
with
information
and
recommendations
on
these
issues.
Councillor.
F
Q
G
Q
G
Through
the
mayor
absolutely
are
in
agreement,
we
actually
recommended
it
to
the
chair.
We
recognize
that
when
we
initially
put
the
position
report
out,
there
were
a
number
of
stakeholders
who
we
had
yet
to
consult
with,
which
included
the
accessibility
Advisory
Committee.
They
had
not
been
formed
at
that
point.
In
addition,
we're
recognizing
that
this
is
not
only
an
initiative,
that's
being
looked
at
in
Ottawa,
it's
being
looked
at
across
Ontario.
G
Q
G
The
position
we've
taken
right
now,
but
we've
recognized
that
there's
a
number
of
factors
in
relation
to
the
entire
taxi
industry,
including
the
delivery
of
para
Transpo
in
the
future
and
and
as
well
we're
undertaking
extensive
enforcement
on
the
Bandit
cab
program
were
intending
to
take
a
blitz
in
the
next
few
months.
We
want
to
look
at
that
information
as
well,
because
we
have
looked
to
the
province
to
give
us
additional
powers.
G
Q
Q
G
Can't
be
I
can't
be
finite
right
now
until
there's
so
many
other
parties
we
have
to
talk
to
in
terms
of
coming
forward.
Ideally
I
would
like
to
be
able
to
come
back
within
the
next
year,
but
recognize
that
that
may
not
be
possible
of
all
the
other.
All
the
other
service
areas
haven't
finalized
where
they're
going
with
him.
Thank.
I
You
mr.
mayor
and
I
will
be,
I
will
be
supporting
the
motion,
but
I
can't
help,
but
to
think
now
we
say
we
need
time
to
think
and
consult
talk
to
the
stakeholder
make
all
this
and
a
year
and
a
half
ago
we
shoved
something
we
work
on
ten
years
prior
to
it,
but
nevertheless
is
never
too
late
to
do
the
right
thing
and
Miss
Jones
I
would
like
you
to
include
with
this.
I
Is
the
taxi
Union
as
well,
because
we
are
tinkering
with
people's
livelihood
every
time
we
make
those
changes
and
I
hope
for
those
the
same
people,
we
didn't
consult
the
last
time.
We
consult
them
this
time,
so
we
don't
hear
from
them
in
the
church
or
in
a
in
a
parking
lot
or
every
time
we
take
a
cab.
A
Thank
you,
okay,
so
on
the
motion
is
presented
carried
before
I
neglected,
to
mention
a
good
friend
of
many
people
around
the
council
table
Linda
Smith
last
week
was
honored
by
her
MPP
when
she
was
presented
with
a
Queen's
Diamond
Jubilee
medal
for
all
her
volunteer
work.
So
congratulations
Linda,
we're
very
proud
of
you.
A
E
This
motion
is
about
some
of
the
challenges
we
have
when
the
the
approvals
process
goes
through
when
we
have
an
established
BIA
zone
and
as
I
see
councillor
Holmes
walking
over
I'll
ask
her
to
to
maybe
elaborate
more,
but
really
it's
the
approvals
around
BIA
murals.
So
in
our
BIA
zone,
sometimes
it
gets
a
little
conflicting
supporting
RBI's
while
following
the
current
process.
S
You
this
is
the
Somerset
BIA
that
has
an
agreement
with
the
school
of
art
to
paint
all
their
windows
and
doors
with
artistic
designs.
These
many
of
these
buildings
don't
have
sides
there.
They
abut
each
other
and
they
only
have
front
windows
and
doors,
but
our
by
law
says
you
can
only
paint
the
side
of
your
buildings.
You
can't
paint
the
windows
and
doors,
so
this
is
a
request
that
we
amend
that
by
law,
so
that,
in
fact,
the
BIA
can
have
this
painting
process
for
their
buildings
in
Chinatown.
L
Your
worship,
this
is
to
follow
the
process.
We've
agreed
to
overtime
regarding
the
Auditor
General
position,
whereas
in
September
2003
Ottawa
City
Council
became
one
of
the
first
municipalities
in
Canada
to
volunteer.
We
established
a
position
of
Auditor
General,
based
on
the
report
by
mr.
Denny
dais
hotel,
the
former
Auditor
General
of
Canada,
and
whereas
in
to
October
2003
City
Council,
approved
the
retention
of
an
external
search
firm
to
assist
the
staffing,
the
new
city
auditor
general
position
based
on
mr.
L
de
l'hotel,
and
undertaking
a
search
for
candidates
of
the
highest
quality
for
a
new
Auditor
General
and
in
an
effort
to
ensure
a
timely
and
smooth
transition.
Regarding
the
succession
matter,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
the
City
Council
one
thank
material
alone
for
the
valuable
auditing
work
that
he
has
undertaken
for
the
City
of
Ottawa
over
his
tenure
to
provide
material
alone
with
written
notice
in
compliance
with
the
Employment
Standards
Act
2001
and
regulations.
L
Three
approved
the
mayor
as
chair
the
chair
and
vice-chair
of
the
audit
subcommittee
and
the
two
deputy
mayor's
to
be
the
hiring
panel
to
interview
candidates
for
the
position
of
City
Auditor
General
for
approved
the
engaged
engagement
of
an
external
search
firm
to
assist
the
hiring
panel
in
undertaking
an
executive
search
for
the
new
Auditor
General
to
an
upset
limit
of
$50,000.
Five
direct,
the
city
clerk
and
solicitors
office,
to
provide
the
required
administrative
support
for
the
hiring
panel.
A
Okay,
so
my
thanks
to
councillors,
hubely
and
Shirley
from
the
audit
subcommittee
and
city
clerk's
office,
I
believe
for
assisting
with
the
drafting
and
to
thank
mr.
Lowe
loan
form.
We
will
have
a
more
opportune
time
to
thank
him
as
well.
Closer
to
his
retirement
on
the
motion.
Carried
notice
is
a
motion
for
consideration
of
subsequent
meetings.
Councillor
Dean's,
please.
Q
A
I
A
Carry
this
to
remind
members
of
council
and
staff,
good
news,
bad
news
story,
the
food
trucks
which
are
a
new
project
to
the
city
11
of
them
are
set
up
outside.
That's
the
good
news.
The
bad
news
is
that
in
the
first
half
hour,
all
five
hundred
wristbands
were
sold,
but
the
tulip
festival,
food
vendors
are
still
available
on
site
as
well,
and
all
of
the
funds
going
from
the
wristbands
are
going
to
the
shepherds,
a
good
hope.
So
if
you
have
a
wristband
you
can
head
out.
Thank
you.
