Description
City Council meeting of November 8, 2017
Part 2
A
Every
fall,
I
look
forward
to
the
opportunity
to
speak,
to
Council
and
to
the
public
regarding
their
vision
for
Ottawa's
future
and
to
listen
to
where
residents
would
like
council
to
focus
our
resources.
Over
the
last
few
months,
council
has
worked
with
the
city
treasurer
and
the
city
manager
to
deliver
a
budget
that
keeps
us
on
a
balanced
path
of
fiscal
responsibility.
I'm
pleased
to
report
that
we
are
bringing
forward
a
budget
for
2018
that
focuses
on
securing
a
sustainable
financial
framework
for
the
coming
years,
a
budget
that
is
balanced,
affordable
and
progressive.
A
A
Hundred
and
four
thousand
dollars
the
tax
change
will
be.
Seventy
four
dollars
for
the
average
rural
household.
The
tax
change
will
be
$60
property
taxation
is
the
single
most
important
tool.
Our
city
has
to
maintain
affordability
for
our
residents
that
I'm
proud.
That
council
is
delivering
on
this
key
commitment.
It's
important
to
listen
to
residents
through
the
budget
consultation
process
and
we
have
built
residents
feedback
into
the
draft
28
budget
being
tabled
today.
There's
a
Volvo
sued,
the
nombres
you
didn't
know
has
ddong
it.
We've.
A
Councillor
led
consultations,
as
well
as
for
single
warrant
consultations.
The
city
has
received
budget
ideas
and
feedback
from
residents,
community
groups
and
stakeholders
through
a
variety
of
ways.
This
includes
the
councillor
LED
budget
consultations,
the
budget
planning
tool
proposed
by
councilor
tyranny,
avail
on
Ottawa,
dot,
CA
and
the
city's
social
media
channels.
As
of
November
1st,
for
instance,
there
were
over
1000
visits
to
the
budget
planning
tool.
My
office,
the
city
treasurer,
the
city
manager's
office,
have
met
with
every
member
of
council
and
committee
chairs
to
hear
their
budget
priorities.
A
I've
also
hosted
a
series
of
community
breakfasts
to
hear
priorities
directly
from
community
leaders
and
residents.
Now
it's
not
always
the
case,
but
this
year
what
we
have
heard
has
been
clear
and
consistent
residents
understand
that
for
the
last
seven
years
we
have
been
focusing
more
heavily
on
transit
infrastructure,
which
required
a
massive
catch-up
effort.
Today,
residents
are
asking
us
to
shift
some
of
that
focus
to
our
social
infrastructure
and
to
our
built
infrastructure
needs.
A
What
we
are
hearing
at
public
meetings
or
informal
conversations
is
the
need
to
continue
to
do
more
about
the
state
of
our
roads,
infrastructures,
infrastructure,
rather
buildings
and
parks,
and
that
winter
maintenance
of
critical
infrastructure,
like
our
roads
and
sidewalks
must
continue
to
improve.
The
changing
weather
patterns
have
created
major
challenges
in
maintaining
our
roads,
pathways
and
community
infrastructure.
The
abundance
of
rain
and
spring
flooding.
The
extraordinary
amount
of
snow
and
the
number
of
freeze
thaw
cycles
in
over
90
last
year
has
significantly
impacted
the
quality
of
our
roadways,
shoulders,
sidewalks
and
road
beds.
A
Investing
in
existing
infrastructure
is
not
always
the
most
popular
approach
for
council
to
take
as
politicians,
we
always
like
to
announce
something
new,
but
I've
heard
from
almost
every
member
of
council
that
our
roads
facilities
and
sidewalks
need
more
attention.
Now.
The
infrastructure
gap
is
a
significant
challenge
for
municipalities
nationwide.
In
response
to
these
concerns,
our
total
budget
contribution
for
roads,
bike
lanes,
sidewalks
and
facilities
will
increase
by
twelve
point
six
million
dollars
in
2018
to
bring
us
to
one
hundred
and
twelve
point
four
million
dollars
in
annual
funding.
B
A
One
hundred
million
dollars
over
the
next
eight
years
in
capital
works.
Let
me
give
you
a
sense
of
how
these
additional
dollars
will
be
invested.
First,
as
I
mentioned,
we
will
be
responding
to
the
number
one
request
from
residents
to
put
more
funding
into
road
resurfacing
and
renewal
in
2018.
The
road
resurfacing
budget
will
be
increased
by
five
point:
six
million
dollars
for
a
total
budget
of
thirty
nine
point:
two
million
dollars-
that's
a
17
percent
increase
over
2017.
A
Secondly,
our
rural
infrastructure
investments
will
reach
forty
two
point:
four
forty
two
point:
two
million
in
2018
up
from
a
three-year
average
of
thirty
six
point:
eight
million
dollars.
This
funding
includes
rural
roads
and
culvert
repairs.
Budget
2018
will
allow
the
city
to
repair
a
resurface
over
70
kilometres
of
roads
in
the
rural
area.
Councillor
Moffat,
for
instance,
will
see
sections
of
Reno
Valley,
south
and
Fallowfield
Road
resurfaced
while
councillor
DeRoos
will
see
sections
of
stagecoach
road
and
van
Rijn
Street
repaved.
A
In
addition,
the
city
will
be
investing
twenty
four
point:
three
million
dollars
towards
bridge
rehabilitation
in
2018.
This
is
an
increase
of
from
just
under
14
million
dollars.
Last
year,
this
includes
projects
such
as
the
Fitzroy
Harbor
Bridge
and
Anderson
Road
bridge
resid,
all
new
Lamantia.
On
costed
more
we.
A
Ability
to
repair
potholes
since
2010
you,
Airy
2017
city
staff,
have
filled
over
250
3,000
potholes
across
Ottawa.
Even
with
this
level
of
activity,
we
have
heard
consistently
that
we
need
to
do
more.
That
is
why
28
budget
2018
will
make
permanent
the
four
hundred
thousand
dollar
one-time
increase
in
pothole
and
minor
asphalt,
repair
program
introduced
in
2017
and
I
thank
kal
or
egg
life,
or
his
insistence
on
that.
We
will
add
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
one-time
funds
to
bring
the
program
to
eight
million
dollars
and
eight
percent
increase
over
2016.
A
This
funding
will
help
us
more
effectively
with
the
immediate
patching
and
pothole
needs
caused
by
significant
weather
fluctuations
and
increased
construction
activity.
That's
taking
place
in
all
parts
of
the
city.
We
also
need
to
look
at
innovative
ways
to
improve
the
condition
of
our
roads,
no
devil
couvade,
the
Nouvelle
fastened
to.
A
Have
to
investigate
the
possibility
of
running
our
own
asphalt
plant
in
order
to
ensure
quality
and
price
and
to
investigate
new
technologies
that
may
improve
the
long-term
durability
of
our
roads.
Ottawa
spans
more
than
90
kilometers
from
east
to
west
and
has
one
of
the
largest
municipal
transportation
networks
in
Canada.
Maintaining
our
network
is
expensive.
That's
why
budget
2018
includes
an
increase
of
2.3
million
dollars
to
the
base
budget
for
winter
maintenance,
bringing
the
total
annual
funding
to
sixty
eight
point
three
million
dollars.
A
This
is
an
addition
to
the
four
point:
five
million
base
budget
increase
for
winter
maintenance
introduced
last
year
for
a
total
increase
of
eleven
point
three
million
dollars
over
the
last
three
years.
This
new
base
funding
meets
the
level
of
funding
recommended
by
the
independent
KPMG
audit.
The
winter
cycling
network
will
also
be
expanded,
adding
O'connor
and
McKenzie
Bridge
cycling
lanes.
Signs
of
increased
prosperity
are
all
around
us
as
public
and
private
sector
investment
is
booming.
A
The
Conference,
Board
of
Canada,
for
instance,
has
forecast
that
Ottawa
gatah
knows
real
GDP
growth
will
be
2.2
percent
in
2018,
following
a
forecast
at
2.5%
increase
in
2017.
This
is
the
strongest
back-to-back
increase
since
2007
2008,
but
the
prosperity
is
not
shared
equally
by
all
our
residents.
We
need
to
continue
to
do
more
for
our
most
vulnerable
residents,
who
rely
on
our
city,
strong
network
of
community-based
social
services.
You
d'avola
failed
that
vault
as
well.
We.
A
Much-Needed
support
to
the
fast-growing
social
infrastructure
needs
of
our
city
residents
want
us
to
find
a
way
to
ensure
both
the
city
and
our
community
partners
are
ready
to
respond
to
the
challenges
of
increasing
costs
and
legislative
changes
from
other
levels
of
government.
We
have
heard
from
community
arts,
recreation,
social
and
housing
service
providers.
We're
concerned
about
budget
pressures
caused
by
provincial
changes
to
the
minimum
wage
I'm
pleased
to
say
that
budget
2018
will
meet
the
city's
own
obligations
to
address
the
minimum
wage
increase
and
I
thank
mr.
Tierney
for
raising
these
issues.
A
It
will
also
include
funding
to
support
our
partner
agencies
to
help
them
with
their
increased
costs
from
minimum
wage
increases.
We
recognize
that
these
service
delivery
agencies
have
few
options
to
make
up
for
these
funding
pressures.
Without
additional
resources,
they
would
have
little
choice
but
to
reduce
services,
while
the
needs
of
their
clients
are
growing.
This
is
not
the
right
time
to
four
cuts
to
our
social
service
agencies.
For
this
reason,
budget
2018
will
provide
an
inflationary
increase
of
3
percent
to
our
social
service
agencies.
A
This
translates
into
an
additional
six
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
in
2018
for
a
total
annual
investment
of
23
point
two
million
dollars.
Social
service
agencies
will
also
see
a
base
increase
again
this
year,
which,
when
added
to
the
inflationary
increase,
will
provide
a
total
increase
of
4.4
percent
in
2018.
This
represents
an
annual
increase
of
approximately
1
million
dollars
in
this
in
these
services.
This
community
funding
helps
support
93
agencies
that
run
hundreds
of
essential
programs
across
the
entire
city,
nozawa
Ave
in
fassold
augment
we.
A
Seven
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
dollars
going
to
housing
and
homelessness
agencies
for
a
total
of
26
point
three
million.
The
city
will
also
be
increasing
the
amount
provided
for
housing
programs
by
1.7
mm
to
meet
the
housing
sectors,
other
cost
pressures.
We
will
also
be
replacing
1.3
million
of
funding
that
lapses,
with
the
expiry
of
the
federal
operating
agreements
bringing
the
total
city
contributions
to
81
million
dollars
in
2018.
This
is
up
3
million
dollars
from
our
2017
budget
of
78
million
dollars,
a
3.8
percent
increase
when
combined
with
funding
from
other
levels
of
government.
A
A
This
is
a
significant
increase
to
the
base
operating
dollars
of
these
important
service
social
service
delivery
agencies.
I
like
to
take
a
moment
to
tell
you
some
of
the
other
things
that
we'll
be
doing
for
housing
and
homelessness
in
2018.
Thankfully,
we
do
not
face
the
housing
and
homelessness
challenge
alone.
The
role
of
the
federal
and
provincial
governments
in
housing
is
especially
important.
This
year,
the
federal
provincial
governments
are
currently
in
bilateral
negotiations
on
the
social
and
green
infrastructure
funds.
A
We
are
also
expecting
the
release
of
the
long-awaited
national
housing
strategy
and
the
federal
anti-poverty
strategy.
Literally
within
a
few
weeks,
these
anticipated
announcements
will
be
followed
by
detailed
contribution
agreements,
funding
conditions
and
provincial
and
national
priorities
and
benchmarks
from
what
we
know
today,
given
the
increased
support
from
the
province
of
Ontario
and
the
Government
of
Canada,
the
planning,
the
planned
capital
investments
in
social
housing,
including
retrofits
and
construction
of
new
units,
will
increase
from
twenty
point
six
million
dollars
in
2017
to
52
point
six
million
dollars
in
2018.
A
A
The
city
and
its
community
partners
will
only
be
able
to
achieve
these
local
goals
if
we
continue
to
work
together
with
our
federal
provincial
partners
towards
shared
outcomes
by
the
end
of
2017,
the
city
will
have
four
hundred
and
one
new,
affordable
and
supportive
housing
units
built
or
underway,
including
in
councilor
Harder's
Ward.
We
open
four
or
five
five
via
Verona
in
partnership
with
multi-faith
housing,
a
98
unit,
affordable
housing,
community
for
families
in
Ennis,
ward,
councillor,
MINIX
Ward.
A
We
built
a
1906
Angels
at
Boulevard,
in
partnership
with
Mull
for
Renaissance,
a
48
unit,
supportive
housing
program
for
individuals
experiencing
chronic
homelessness
in
2018.
The
city
will
be
investing
more
towards
housing
and
homelessness,
as
are
the
federal
and
provincial
governments.
But
there
is
more
news
and
progress
to
come.
The
city
will
be
ready
to
leverage
upcoming,
federal
and
provincial
funding
opportunities
so
that
we
can
best
meet
the
needs
of
our
community.
New
subtle
play
upon
revolt,
as
is
okay,
we'll.
A
Ending
in
2018,
through
the
community
homelessness
prevention
initiative
for
a
total
of
thirty
seven
point:
six
million
dollars.
This
funding
supports
a
number
of
housing
and
homelessness
initiatives
for
low
and
moderate
income
residents
at
risk
of
or
experiencing
homelessness
by
providing
them
with
the
necessary
supports
to
find
and
keep
their
housing.
The
city
will
also
receive
47
million
dollars
over
four
years
through
the
new
provincial
social
housing
apartment
improvement
program
for
repairs
and
retrofits.
This
funding
will
improve
living
conditions,
reduce
costs
through
energy
conservation
and
fight
climate
change.
A
Thanks
to
the
improvements
that
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
the
city
will
also
benefit
from
an
additional
4.7
million
dollars
from
the
federal
provincial
governments
to
develop
new,
affordable
and
supportive
housing.
That
was
bolts
in
a
total
investment
of
seventy
two
point:
seven
million
dollars
from
2014
to
2020
the
city
will
also
receive
seven
million
dollars
from
the
federal
homelessness
partnering
strategy
in
2018
over
the
last
few
years.
This
program
has
helped
516
people
experiencing
long
shelter
stays
move
from
emergency
shelters
into
permanent
housing
with
supports.
A
The
city
will
also
receive
thirty
million
dollars
for
local
capital
and
operating
funding
through
the
recently
announced
provincial
home
for
good
program.
This
new
funding
will
expand.
The
city's
housing
first
program
provides
supports
for
people
living
in
transitional
or
supportive
housing
programs
and
will
allow
for
peer
support
workers
as
well.
These
additional
operate
operating
dollars
will
increase
the
number
of
rent
supplements
and
housing
allowances
available.
I
know
that
something
councilor
hubely
is
very
supportive
of.
This
will
also
provide
funding
for
first
and
last
month's
rent
and
units
set
up.
A
Of
this
funding
will
support
approximately
three
hundred
and
ten
households
to
find
and
keep
suitable,
affordable
and
supportive
housing
in
Ottawa.
The
capital
component
of
the
home
for
good
program
will
support
the
construction
renovation
or
purchase
of
approximately
a
hundred
and
fifty
new
supportive
housing
units
in
Ottawa.
This
funding
is
complemented
by
the
child
care
modernization
and
social
assistance
reform.
For
example,
the
city
is
receiving
additional
funding
through
the
provincial
childcare
expansion
plan
and
the
federal
Canada
Ontario
early
learning
and
childcare
plan.
A
In
2017,
the
city
received
13.6
million
more
than
was
anticipated
to
support
access
to
licensed
childcare.
This
funding
will
help
over
1,400
local
children
access,
affordable
childcare
and
will
significantly
reduce
and
possibly
eliminate
the
current
childcare
subsidy
waitlist
for
children
ages,
0
to
6.
It's
estimated
that
the
city
will
receive
an
additional
7.3
million
dollars
in
2018
as
part
of
this
overall
commitment.
A
Additionally,
the
province
announced
its
intention
to
transform
provincially
fund
a
child
and
family
programs
into
an
integrated,
cohesive
system
of
services
and
supports
for
children
aged
0
to
6
and
their
parents
and
caregivers.
These
services
include
free
programs
such
as
playgroups,
where
parents
can
attend
with
their
child
and
have
access
to
information
and
supports,
and
in
total,
the
2018
provincial
funding
allocation
for
Ottawa
is
8.4
million
dollars
for
early
years
and
family
centers,
plus
the
7.3
million
dollars
under
the
childcare
expansion
programs.

this
dramatic

in
how
Ottawa

we
still

programs

One
such

is

continue

almost

this
increase
represents

pleased
to
report
that

also
heralds
some
significant

in

that
matter
most
to

will
hear
from
our

that
Ottawa

The

The
recommendation
is
to
use
this
funding
to
produce
a
strategy
that
will
help
shape
the
future
of
the
cultural
sector
for
years

of

proposing
the

base,
investment
of
one

fifty

dollars
in

towards
the

A
This
increases
the
base

I,
look
forward
to
hearing
the
recommendations
of
the
coalition

they
chart
a
new
future

A
These

including

The
city
is
in
the
process
of
saving
6
million
dollars
annually.
These
investments
are

Today,
for
example,
the

has
reduced

is
rich
in

This

serves
as
a
draw
for
residents
and
visitors
alike
in
2018.

The
city
will
require

valued
at

forty
thousand
dollars
in
the
rural
areas
and
one

dollars
in
the

recently
used
1.5

to
help
acquire

Last
week,
Ottawa
successfully
issued
the
first
municipal
green
debenture
in
Canada,
which
raised
102
million
dollars.
The
city's
green
debenture
framework
is
intended
to
finance
environmentally-friendly
projects
across
the
city
that
will
help
us
mitigate
or
adopt
the
effects
of
climate
change,
such
as
our
light
rail
transit.
This
there
was
strong
demand
for
this
new
offering
which
allowed
the
city
to
reduce
the
price
of
the
debenture
saving
$400,000
in
interest

over
the
life
of

Thank

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.
Today's
budget
reflects
the
direction
approved
in
this
term
of
council.
It
will
provide
an
overview
of
the
tax
and
rate
supported
operating
budget
and
capital
budget
and
I
will
quickly
review
the
budget
timetable
for
those
who
would
like
to
get
involved
during
the
budget
review
process.
The.
D
Budget
directions
for
this
budget
were
approved
in
October
2016,
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
a
what
was
used
last
year.
D
B
D
B
B
D
See
an
increase
of
$76
per
year,
a
rural
home
sixty-two
dollars
per
year
and
a
commercial
property
one
hundred
and
sixty
three
dollars
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
counsel
before
finalizing
the
tax
rates.
These
amounts
don't
account
for
changes
resulting
from
reassessment
now,
a
percentage.
B
A
period
the
city
has
a
total
budget
of
3.42
billion
dollars.
If
you
look
at
this
circle,
you
can
see
that
these
reflects
all
the
services
provided
by
the
city,
the
15
basic
services.
They
represent
61
percent
of
the
total
budget
as
social
services,
Community
Services,
671
million
transit
of
520,
garbage
collection
in
water
and
also
a
capital
budget.
B
D
Million
67.1
percent
of
the
total
budget
in
2018
community
and
social
services
moves
into
first
place
with
the
largest
share
of
19.6%,
then
transit
second,
water
sewer,
solid
waste,
third
and
police
services,
and
fourth,
last
year,
capital
formation
costs
moved
into
the
top
five
in
spending
there
passing
emergency
protective
services
and
in
2018
continues
to
do
so.
This
demonstrates
council
strategy
to
continue
to
increase
investment
in
infrastructure,
to
maintain
assets
in
the
state
of
good
repair.
D
This
next
graph
shows
all
the
sources
of
funding
for
the
33.4
2
billion.
We
have
two
main
sources
of
funds.
We
have
taxpayers
and
we
have
those
use
of
services
and
most
residents
and
businesses
are
both.
The
670
million
shows
for
the
phone
for
the
federal
and
provincial
funding
represents
all
grants
that
are
directed
toward
particular
services,
such
as
social
services,
child
care,
services,
long
teeth,
long
term
care
and
others.
This
source
of
funds
has
increased
by
76
million
over
last
year.
D
D
The
city
has
grown
by
more
than
forty
thousand
people
in
this
term
and
we
have
added
75,
more
police
officers,
thirty
eight
paramedics,
while
managing
all
other
growth
within
existing
FTE
levels,
while
there,
while
there
are
eighty
two
point,
four
three
more
FTEs
in
the
draft
2018
budget
than
in
2017.
Forty-One
of
the
new
FTEs
have
no
impact
on
the
tax
rates.
They
are
funded
by
either
provincial
revenue
fees
or
existing
budgets.
D
The
remaining
FTEs
are
either
for
emergency
services,
25
for
police,
14,
new
paramedics
or
as
a
result
of
new
or
expanded
infrastructure
in
frontline
services
effectively,
the
city
has
been
able
to
absorb
the
impact
of
growth
without
significantly
changing
the
number
of
staff.
We
will
now
look
at
the
operating
budgets.
As
mentioned
earlier.
This
presentation
provides
a
summary
total
of
all
tax
budgets
combined,
including
police,
public
health,
library
and
transits
council
must
approve
a
balanced
budget.
An
additional
108
million
of
spending
pressures
were
identified
for
2018.
D
As
you
may
recall,
7.2
million
pressures
in
2018
were
addressed
in
the
2017
budget,
as
per
the
city
manager's
plan
to
deliver
all
the
required
efficiency
savings
for
the
remaining
term
of
council
within
the
2017
operating
budget.
The
additional
spending
pressure
is
related
to
2018
based
adjustments,
maintaining
operations,
growth
and
council
priorities
are
offset
by
increases
in
funding
from
revenue,
taxes
and
fees
of
108
million.
Now
we'll
provide
additional
details
for
each
item.
D
The
funding
capacity
has
been
created
as
a
result
of
tax
increases,
user
fee
increases
and
revenue
that
we
are
receiving
from
other
levels
of
government
totals
108
million
of
that
user
fees
and
charges
is
4.4
million,
including
the
2.5
percent
increase
in
transit
services.
This
reflects
a
regulatory
inflationary
increase
to
fees,
additional
interest
earnings
and
is
offset
by
reductions
in
filt
revenue.
The
matching
funding
from
provisional
cost-sharing
is
increasing
by
47
point
1
million
dollars.
The
largest
increase
in
provincial
revenues
is
in
the
childcare
services,
reflecting
the
new
program.
D
In
developing
the
trial
in
the
developing
the
draft
budget,
one
of
our
first
tasks
is
to
review
the
current
year
performance
against
budget
to
identify
any
adjustments
that
need
to
be
made
to
the
base
budget.
We
look
at
what
happened
in
the
previous
year,
where
there
were
costs
or
revenue
increases
or
decreases
that
we
had
not
anticipated
and
that
are
of
a
permanent
nature.
D
This
table
shows
the
key
factors
from
2017
that
will
have
an
impact
in
2018
there's
an
additional
thirteen
point:
six
million
for
childcare,
funded
by
provincial
and
federal
governments
to
support
access
to
licensed
childcare
for
a
hundred
thousand
additional
children
across
the
province
over
the
next
five
years.
We've
added
an
additional
base,
just
minh
two
point:
three
million
two
winter
operations
based
on
KPMG's
recommendations,
which
is,
in
addition
to
last
year's
based
adjustment
of
4.5
million,
bringing
the
total
budget
to
sixty
8.3.
These
increases
are
offset
by
one-time
adjustments
of
4.2
million.
D
Next
we
identify
the
cost
to
maintain
the
services
that
we
already
owe
that
we
are
already
providing
labor
costs.
As
usual
are
the
largest
increase
overall,
and
this
is
to
be
expected.
Given
the
fact
that
forty
percent
of
our
overall
costs
in
the
city
are
related
to
labor,
the
inflation
in
materials
and
contracts
is
budgeted
at
fifteen
million.
The
increased
reserves
and
death
charges
is
the
inflationary
increase
in
the
contribution
to
capital
to
keep
up
with
inflation
and
ensure
that
we
are
not
losing
ground
in
terms
of
what
is
needed
for
capital
spending.
D
We
have
allocated
30
point
1
million
dollars
more
for
growth,
as
mentioned
earlier.
There
are
increases
in
children's
services,
expenditures
and
matching
revenue
related
to
new
and
expanding
programs.
Eight
point:
five
million
for
early
years,
child
and
family
centers
and
another
7.3
million
for
childcare,
fee
subsidies
and
program
delivery,
Ontario
Works
caseload
increases
will
add
another
3.6
million
in
expenditures
and
matching
revenue.
There
is
2.6
million
for
25
additional
police
officers
in
the
annualization
of
the
2017
hires
growth
for
transit
is
2.3
million,
primarily
for
the
maintenance
contract
for
the
Confederation
line.
D
B
D
Million
increased
your
contribution
to
capital,
which
is
the
amount
identified
in
the
l
RFP
as
an
increase
each
year
to
address
the
infrastructure
gap
and
to
reach
an
investment
level
that
maintains
our
assets
in
a
state
of
good
repair.
The
L
RFP
also
recommended
an
additional
five
million
contribution
to
the
renewal
of
assets
from
strategic
initiatives,
funding
for
a
total
increase
in
capital
contribution
for
renewal
of
10.5
million
in
2018.
D
The
increase
being
proposed
for
the
rate
budget
is
4
percent
for
water,
5
percent
for
wastewater
and
5
percent
for
stormwater
services,
as
identified
in
the
long-range
financial
plan
approved
in
September.
This
budget
includes
the
new
rates
for
the
revised
rate
structure
approved
by
council
in
October
2016
that
will
charge
a
fixed
plus
volumetric
rate
for
water
and
wastewater
and
a
fixed
charge
for
stormwater
based
on
property
type
and
size.
D
We've
also
included
the
hundred
percent
volumetric
rate
to
accommodate
the
switch
to
the
new
rate
in
2018
for
an
average
household
with
a
yearly
consumption
of
180
cubic
meters
of
water.
The
annual
increase
will
only
be
seven
dollars
and
fifty
cents
using
the
new
fix,
plus
a
volumetric
rate.
The
new
fixed
charge
will
have
a
greater
impact
on
households
that
consume
very
little
water.
The
stormwater
fee
will
be
phased
in
at
50
percent
of
the
full
rate
for
properties
that
are
not
connected
to
city
services
in
2018.
D
For
the
average
rural
household,
the
five
percent
increase
in
storm
water
will
cost
approximately
a
dollar
thirty
nine
per
year.
These
rate
increases
assume
our
assuming
steady
levels
of
consumption
will
increase
revenues
by
15
point
1
million,
like
the
tax
budget.
The
r8
budget
has
to
be
balanced.
This
additional
revenue
is
offset
by
additional
expenditures.
The
increase
of
3.1
million
to
maintain
operations
is
primarily
for
compensation
and
benefits
increases
in
inflation
on
materials
and
supplies.
The
capital
contribution
is
increasing
by
1.9
million
for
all
services
in
total
and
per
the
long-range
financial
plan.
D
The
2018
draft
budget
for
8
supported
services
increases
investment
in
capital
and
debt,
which
is
also
increased
debt
servicing
by
10.1
million
dollars.
We
now
look
at
the
capital
budgets
in
the
last
term
of
council.
Several
major
studies
were
completed
and
approved
by
council.
They
include
the
transportation
master
plan,
development
charges,
background
study
and
the
L
RFP
five
that
assess
the
state
of
repairs
of
all
the
capital
assets
and
recommended
a
plan
for
closing
the
infrastructure
gap.
These
plans
have
all
been
incorporated
in
the
proposed
capital
budget
for
2018.
D
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
5.6
percent
of
own
source
revenues
on
the
tax
side
and
13.7
percent
on
the
right
side
for
2018
compared
to
12
point
7
in
2017,
the
tax
supported
capital
budget
for
2018
includes
public
transit,
police
services
and
library.
D
This
budget
totals
seven
hundred
twenty
nine
point
four
million,
as
mentioned
earlier.
This
budget
reflects
the
recommendations
for
the
long-range
financial
plans
for
tax
and
rate,
increasing
contributions
to
capital
to
reduce
the
infrastructure
gap
over
ten
years
for
tax
and
five
years
for
rate
twenty
six
percent
of
the
investments
are
in
transit.
Twenty-One
percent
for
water,
wastewater
and
stormwater
services
and
thirteen
percent
for
the
integrated
roads
projects.
D
The
proposed
729
point:
four
million
capital
budget
is
funded
from
a
variety
of
sources,
but
basically
it
is
cash
and
debts.
Fifty
six
point:
six
million
is
primarily
coming
from
other
levels
of
government:
the
suit
where
the
the
reserves
portion,
which
is
cash
and
is
funded
from
contributions
to
capital
on
both
attacks
and
rates
side.
This
makes
up
55
percent
of
the
funding
for
capital
there's
also
some
DC
cash
and
debt
for
fund
to
fund
growth
projects.
D
The
next
two
slides
breakdown,
the
capital
spending
to
a
lower
level
of
detail
for
tax
and
rate
between
renewal
growth
and
strategic
initiatives
for
tax
supported
capital.
The
total
Authority
is
five
hundred
twenty
eight
million.
Fifty
point.
Four
percent
of
this
new
authorities
for
renewal,
32
percent
for
growth
and
fourteen
for
strategic
initiatives.
More
than
half
of
this
amount
will
be
funded
from
capital
reserves
or
cash
and
26
percent
from
debt.
D
The
remainder
will
come
from
government
funding
and
development
charges
for
rate
support
of
capital,
the
authority's
202
million
94
percent
of
rate
capital
investments
are
for
renewal
of
assets
and
only
four
percent
for
growth
and
less
than
two
percent
for
strategic
initiatives.
More
than
61
percent
of
the
202
million
will
be
funded
from
capital
reserves
or
cash
and
35
percent
from
debt.
D
This
slide
provides
a
forecast
of
the
twenty
seventeen
and
eighteen
year
end
reserve
balances.
These
reflect
the
current
forecast
that
may
vary
once
we
close
the
year.
However,
based
on
current
forecasts
and
input
from
the
draft
2018
operating
capital
budget
reserves
overall
are
projected
to
decrease
from
two
hundred.
Ninety
eight
point:
eight
million
to
two.
D
Lastly,
on
the
budget
timetable,
we
have
the
committee
board
and
Commission
budget
meetings
scheduled
on
November
21st
running
until
December
11th.
It
is
at
these
meetings
that
individuals
can
ask
about
particular
items
in
the
budget.
All
the
information
is
available
on
the
website
and
the
public
is
invited
to
come
out
to
a
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
ward.
D
Councillor
Council
will
meet
on
December
13th
to
consider
draft
any
current
recommendation
stemming
from
the
budget
meetings,
and
then
it
is
at
that
point
that
the
budget
will
be
adopted.
In
conclusion,
mr.
mayor
I
want
to
offer
my
thanks
to

alternative
chief
Thank.
F
You
mr.
chair,
your
worship,
members
of
council,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
invitation
to
present
our
draft
2018
budget.
As
you
all
know,
our
community
is
changing
and
it
is
becoming
more
and
more
diverse
and
the
police
service
needs
to
continue
to
reflect
the
community
it
serves.
So
we've
launched
our
gender
project.
We
want
to
ensure
that
we
continue
to
be
diversity,
diversify
the
police
service
and
we've
relaunched
an
a
rich
recruitment
plan,
and
we
have
to
be
adaptive
to
the
the
shifting
crime
trends
that
are
taking
place
in
our
community.
F
We
have
seen
over
the
past
couple
of
years
an
increase
in
the
criminal
code,
offenses
specifically
around
violent
crime
in
our
in
our
community,
and
we've
been
very
concerned
around
that
and
employing
strategies
to
to
deal
with
that.
But
we've
also
seen
an
impact
on
social
disorder
issues
or
matters
that
are
non
criminal
natures
that
have
been
putting
pressure
on
our
on
our
police
service.
I.
B
We've
seen
new
bills
that
were
introduced
this
year.
Cannabis
will
be
legal
in
2018,
there's
a
new
bill
on
surveillance
and
police
services,
as
well
as
a
new
act
on
police
services
in
Ontario,
which
will
have
an
impact
in
on
Ottawa.
So
the
result
is
that
there'll
be
more
demand
on
our
services
as
well
as
equipment
and
training.
F
Spectators
continue
to
grow
with
respect
to
more
accountability
and
policing
operations,
more
transparency
and
also
in
dealing
with
the
social
disorder
issues
in
our
community.
This
results
in
increasing
budget
pressures
and
the
field
of
profession
of
policing
is
becoming
more
and
more
complex,
simple
Quinn's
mo
finish
off
my
live.
F
Some
of
the
major
projects
that
are
underway
in
order
to
ensure
that
we
continue
to
become
a
effective,
Police
Service
and
we
continue
to
meet
the
demands
of
our
community.
The
service
initiative
is
our
new
way
of
delivering
our
services
to
our
community
that
focuses
on
core
placing
your
roles
and
puts
officers
where
we
need
them
and
where
we
need
them.
The
multi-year
action
plan
is
a
culmination
of
a
number
of
initiatives
to
ensure
that
we
are
and
will
continue
to
be,
a
biased,
neutral,
Police
Service
and
we
are
delivering
those
services
in
bias-free
way.
F
We
recognize
the
impact
and
toll
police
work
is
having
on
our
members.
That's
why
we
have
a
comprehensive
wellness
program,
which
includes
our
2mr
training,
peer
support
and
an
increase.
The
number
of
officers
and
members
that
are
going
through
a
real
Riu
program
internally
want
to
make
sure
that
all
women
have
access
to
equal
opportunities
for
transfers
and
promotions.
The
gender
audit
that
we
just
conducted
the
first
in
Canada
and
policing
resulted
in
a
number
of
policy
changes
and
a
chain
in
our
culture.
F
We
are
proud
of
the
work
that
we
have
done
in
leading
the
way
in
policing
in
this
area
and
as
a
police
service.
We
continue
you
leverage
technology,
to
support
our
members
and
to
make
the
work
the
very
difficult
work
they
have
to
do
easier
to
give
them
access
to
information
and
the
tools
they
need
to
deal
with
the
complex
situations
that
are
faced
with
on
a
daily
basis
and
we
ensure
to
continue.
G
Mr.
mayor,
we
bring
forward
each
year
some
benchmark
data
to
help
track
Ottawa
police
against
the
major
police
services
across
Canada
statistics.
Canada
provides
this
information
as
a
way
for
Police
Services
to
to
compare
one
another,
and
what
this
data
does
is
identifies
how
many
police
members
sworn
and
civilian?
How
many?
How
many
of
them
support
the
the
citizens
in
Ottawa?
The
data
is
2016
data,
that's
the
latest,
and
it
shows
that
for
every
police
member
in
the
Ottawa
police
service,
either
sworn
or
civilian,
they
support
521
citizens.
G
The
you'll
see
we're
a
bit
at
the
bottom
of
the
pack
when
we
compared
ourselves
to
the
other
significant
compare
in
size,
municipal
police
services
across
Canada,
and
this
is
an
important
benchmark
because
it's
it's
the
start
of
the
year
that
we
of
our
25
per
year
officer
program,
so
we're
starting
to
see
some
impact
on
our
staffing
number.
But
when
we
look
back
to
2011
because
we
keep
this
data
annually,
we
can
see
that
we
we've
been
dropping
in
terms
of
the
number
of
in
our
support
levels.
G
F
Deborah
mentioned
in
2016,
we
recognize
the
impact
this
was
having
on
that
honor
members
and
the
ability
to
serve
our
community.
The
way
we
wanted
to,
we
engage
in
a
three-year
staffing
plan,
starting
in
2016
for
total
2075
officers,
which
finishes
in
2018
you'll,
see
in
a
couple
of
slides
in
our
forecast
for
2019
to
2021.
We
are
projecting
to
increase
our
Coughlin's
by
an
additional
90
officers
30
a
year
in
order
to
keep
pace
with
the
growth
of
and
the
emerging
pressures
that
we
have
in
our
city.
G
Mr.
mayor
this,
this
is
a
slide
that
kind
of
wraps
up
the
five
key
financial
aspects
of
the
budget.
You'll
see
that,
as
the
chair
pointed
out,
we're
at
a
2
percent
budget
increase.
That's
eight
point:
five
million
dollars
above
last
year's
level
and
that
reflects
the
impact
of
assessment
base
growth
as
well.
Our
net
operating
budget
is
now
just
under
three
hundred
million
dollars
at
two
hundred.
G
Ninety
four
point:
three
million
our
we're
a
separate
tax
rate
and
the
increase
on
the
police
tax
rate
for
four
two
percent
equals
twelve
dollars
for
the
average
homeowner
for
the
average
homeowner.
The
the
total
police
tax
bill
is
expected
to
be
six
hundred
and
three
thoughts.
Our
e
six
hundred
and
three
dollars
in
2018
knock
off
the
hundred
thousand
there.
Mr.
chair,
the
the
here's
kind
of
the
way
the
budget
plays
out
when
we
look
at
it
in
terms
of
the
categories
that
we
analyzed
with
the
city.
G
So
most
of
our
budget
is
in
the
maintain
services
area
or
most
of
the
increased
5.5
million.
You'd
expect
that
to
be
more
because
generally,
our
compensation
increase
alone
is
in
the
nine
million
dollar
range.
The
reason
it's
less
is
that
we've
adjusted
some
of
our
pays.
You
go
contributions
safely
in
order
to
help
as
a
strategy
to
meeting
the
2%
budget
target.
So
you'll
see
next
year
that
that
the
budget
is
once
again
nine
million
dollars
for
maintain
services,
the
25
officer
program-
this
is
the
third
year
of
it.
G
So
2.6
million
reflects
the
costs
of
the
initiative.
The
officers
in
2018
plus
the
annualization
of
the
previous
50
officers,
our
modernization
roadmap,
is
the
initiative
we've
launched
to
increase
technological
tools
and
provide
new
ways
of
doing
business
at
Ottawa
police.
The
impact
of
is
point
nine
million
dollars
for
the
new
plant
that
comes
on
board.
With
that
new
kind
of
technology.
We're
forecasting
point
six
million
dollars
worth
of
efficiencies.
G
They
relate
to
a
proposal
we'll
be
bringing
forward
on
the
revenue
side
to
the
board,
with
respect
to
background
clearance
checks,
we've
also
you're,
seeing
here
a
revenue
loss
of
point,
1
million
dollars.
We
annually
increase
our
user
fees
by
two
percent,
we're
adjusting
downward
the
revenue
that
we
receive
from
motor
vehicle
collision
accident
reports
that
hasn't
come
in
at
the
volume
that
we've
expected
all
together.
Then
that
accounts
for
the
eight
point,
five
million
dollar
increase,
which
is
two
percent.
G
Our
capital
program
I,
know
you're
all
astonished,
it's
not
ten
million
dollars
like
it
usually
is,
and
not,
as
usual,
usually
we're
at
ten
million.
What
you
see
here
in
the
growth
category
is
the
impact
of
this
South
facility,
a
phase
one
of
the
South
facility,
which
is
forty
four
point,
seven
million
dollars,
and
it
relates
directly
to
the
debt
financing
required
in
2018.
Normally,
our
budget
is
in
the
the
ten
million
dollar
range
and
it's
financed
almost
entirely
from
pay-as-you-go
contributions,
which,
as
Isabelle
said,
is
cash
on
hand.
G
G
We
always
provide
a
forecast
to
help
identify
with
the
police
service
issues
that
moving
forward.
You
can
see
in
the
in
the
forecast.
We
expect
that
tax
rates
will
be
in
the
range
of
three
point.
Five
to
four
point:
one
percent,
the
you
know
the
two
major
contributors
to
that
we're
continuing
the
the
strategic
modernization
initiatives
both
on
the
facility
strategic
plan
side
and
our
modernization
roadmap,
and
these
chief
spoke
of
the
thirty
officer
per
year
program
for
2019
2020
and
twenty-one
those
those
are
the
the
most
significant
items
driving
the
number.
E
Thank
You
Deborah
and
mr.
mayor
this
is
overall.
The
draft
budget
I
would
invite
all
my
colleagues
to
attend
the
finance
and
Audit
Committee
meeting
is
going
to
take
place
at
10:00
a.m.
at
the
Hannah
ward
room
on
November
20th.
Also,
the
public
delegation
and
approval
of
2018
police
budget
will
take
place
on
November
27
also
and
if
I'm,
my
colleague
or
the
public
would
be,
would
be
welcome
to
attend
and
present
their
comments.
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity,
mr.
H
You
your
worship
and
thank
you
to
the
the
chair
of
the
chief
in
the
executive
director
for
your
presentation.
I
do
have
lots
of
questions
which
I'll
direct
at
your
at
the
public
meetings
that
you
just
described.
My
question,
though,
is
if
four
members
of
my
ward,
who
are
interested
you
do
have
the
committee
meeting
on
the
20th
that
you
just
mentioned,
and
then
the
Police
Services
Board
meeting
at
the
end
of
the
month,
normally
folks
are
directed
to
the
Police
Services
Board
meeting.
H
What
exactly
is
going
to
be
on
your
agenda
on
the
committee
meeting?
Should
people
come
to
the
committee
meeting
to
have
their
say,
or
is
it
more
beneficial
to
have
the
entire
Police
Services
Board
members
at
that
meeting
and
have
them
directed
to
the
Police
Services
Board
meeting
instead
I'm
looking
for
your
direction?
Thank.
E
You
thank
you
through
the
chair.
I
have
also
invite
all
the
board
members
to
attend
the
defendants
and
other
committee.
As
you
know,
the
committee
don't
make
decision
they
just
receive
and
also
make
recommendation
to
the
board.
So
I
welcome
all
my
colleagues
to
attend
the
committee
meeting
and
also
City
Council.
If
they
have
their
question,
that's
the
place
to
be
is.
H
H
Chair
just
to
follow
up
on
the
counselor
counselor
blocking
Tain's
comments.
So
if
we're
unable
to
attend
the
Finance
Committee,
what
is
the
procedure
at
the
board
because
are
we?
Will
we
be
able
to
ask
questions?
Are
we
gonna
have
to
sign
in
as
a
delegation
we
do
have
I
do
have
a
series
of
questions
and
I'm
not
sure
that
I'm
able
to
attend
the
the
committee
itself
so
can
I
attend
the
board
and
ask
questions
well.
E
Counselor
we
we
do
have
a
procedures
and
to
present
to
the
board
in
five
minutes,
I
prefer,
if,
if
you
can't
attend
the
committee
meeting,
if
you
send
us
all
your
question,
that
I
believe
you
and
I
and
the
chief
were
scheduled
to
have
a
separate
meeting
before
the
Budget,
Committee
and
I.
Think
that's
when
we'll
be
able
to
ask
you
a
question:
okay,.

Opl
programs,
we
received
provincial
recognition
for
our
a
la
carte
food
literacy
program.
We
celebrated
Canada's
150
with
some
marquee
events,
all
of
them
themed
around
arts
and
storytelling.
We
had
Alan
Alan
Doyle
kicking
off
the
New
Year
celebrating
storytelling
through
music.
It
was
a
great
event.
F
We
had
positive
feedback
from
our
customers
and
you
can
see
the
graphic
on
the
screen.
It
represents
97
percent
of
the
parent
saying
that
their
child
maintained
or
increased
reading
skills
by
participating
in
our
Summer
Reading
Club,
and
yesterday
we
announced
the
new
collection
in
our
library,
sonlife,
music
instruments,
lending
library.
This
means
now
we
can
lend
out
instruments
from
our
main
and
Nepean
branch
and,
as
the
mayor
alluded
to,
we
got
to
meet
Sarah
McLachlan,
which
was
quite
the
wait
to
treat
the
Ottawa
Public
Library
draft
2018
budget.
F
F
F
Our
fee
schedule
will
be
adjusted
to
reflect
the
inflationary
costs
related
to
a
variety
of
services,
as
well
as
our
new
assignment
life
musical
instrument,
land
area
lending
program,
which
includes
the
associated
fees
related
to
the
late
returns
and
replacement
charges.
At
this
point,
I'll
get
our
CEO
daniela
mcdonald.
Just
summarize.
B
You
the
budget
that
we
presented
today,
is
in
line
with
the
given
targets
of
City
Council
and
includes
additional
FTE
modernization
of
our
priority
branch.
That's
Rosemount,
the
replacement
of
a
bookmobile,
that's
really
old
and
the
automatization
of
the
system
for
employees
schedules.
So
after
all
this
over
three
years,
we
will
have
more
accessible
technologies.
Thank
you.

Our
next
group
is
the
Ottawa
Board
of
Health
Cal
State
de
santé,
dr.
wah,
a
chair
Qadri
company
by
medical
officer
of
Health,
dr.
levy,
and,
as
some
of
you
know,
this
is
dr.
levies.
Last
budget
with
us
I
know
he's
very
discipline
not
to
be
dealing
with
budgets
at
the
city
level,
but
we
wish
them
the
very
best
and
we
thank
him
for
his
many
years
of
dedicated
service.
A
It's
been
a
pleasure
to
work
with
you,
doctor
and
I
know
you're
here
for
a
few
more
weeks
and
we'll
have
a
more
formal
opportunity
to
thank
you,
but
we
do
appreciate
all
of
your
good
work
and
we
wish
you
the
very
best
at
Canadian,
Blood
Service.
So
thank
you
and
councillor
Qadri.
Please
has
the
floor.
C
Thank
you
very
much,
and
mr.
mayor
and
good
monkey
excuse
me
good
morning,
ma'am
members
of
council
has
the
chair
of
the
autumn
aboard
a
health.
I
will
be
presenting
our
2018
draft
operating
budget.
I'm
joined
this
morning
as
mayor
mention,
with
dr.
levy
as
a
medical
officer
of
health
and
also
with
dr.
Vera
h's,
our
Deputy
Minister
of
Public
Health,
so
welcome
to
you
both
Bonjour
at
eat.
The
president,
a
good.
C
C
The
budget
was
developed
with
the
beauty,
compliance
with
the
Ontario
public
health
standards,
emerging
Community,
Health,
knee
issues
and
the
board
strategic
priorities.
This
slide
shows
these
strategic
priorities
identify
the
Board
of
Health.
At
the
beginning
of
this
term.
They
include
developing
and
adapting
workforce,
advancing
healthy
eating
and
active
living
and
fostering
mental
health
in
our
community.
The
board
is
satisfied
with
our
progress
being
made
on
these
prior
on
its
priorities.
C
In
addition,
there
are
other
provincial
statutes
that
and
then
identify
specific
duties
for
boards
of
health
and
medical
officer
of
health,
including
immunization
of
school
pupils,
Act
Safe,
Drinking,
Water,
Act
and
smoke-free
Ontario
act
under
the
hppa.
There
are
21
regulations
that
govern
areas
of
service
such
as
food
safety,
rabies
and
communicable
disease
control.
Several
of
these
are
presently
under
review
and
the
implication
of
possible
amendments
have
not
been
factored
in
to
this
budget
proposal.
C
Also,
under
the
authority
of
hppa,
the
MA
MOH
LCC
publishes
the
Ontario
public
health
standards,
which
are
the
minimum
standards
and
expectations
for
the
provisions
of
Public
Health
Services,
to
which
all
boards
of
health
must
comply.
These
standards,
too,
are
under
review.
It's
my
pleasure
now
to
pass
the
microphone
over
to
dr.
levy
to
for
the
rest
of
the
rest
of
the
presentation.
I
It's
also
designed,
though,
to
allow
OPH
the
flexibility
to
seek
new
funding,
which
we
do
to
enhance
our
ability
to
address
emerging
community
health
needs,
and
we
anticipate
in
2018
that
the
kinds
of
emerging
health
needs
that
we'll
be
looking
for.
Alternative
sources
of
funding
outside
of
this
budget
include
drug
use
prevention
and,
of
course,
overdose
prevention
and
response,
and
that
would
include
Ottawa,
Public,
Health's
future
approach
to
the
opioid
crisis.
I
This
slide
shows
the
breadth
of
program
areas
at
Ottawa,
Public
Health
and
the
anticipated
sources
and
amounts
of
revenues
from
the
board
of
Health's
to
major
funders
being,
of
course,
the
provincial
Ministry
of
Health
and
long-term
care,
as
well
as
the
provincial
Ministry
of
Children
and
Youth
Services
and
and
city
council
avail.
A
ment
with.
B
I
Indicated
earlier,
though,
the
budget
is
built
on
assumptions
the
new
Ontario
Public
Health
standards
we
now
expect
will
be
finally
released
next
week
and
we'll
be
assessing
those
standards
over
the
next
several
months
in
the
organization.
At
this
time,
then,
we
cannot
really
fully
predict
the
impact
that
will
have
on
our
operations,
so
2018
will
be
a
year
of
transition
to
adjust
to
those
new
requirements.
We
also
anticipate,
as
I've
mentioned,
further
funding
opportunities
and
specifically
in
2018,
we
expect
that
they'll
be
funding
opportunities
for
agencies
to
address
the
opioid
crisis.
I
The
budget,
as
I've
mentioned
that
before
you
does
not
reflect
this,
because
the
specific
details
of
where
other
levels
of
government
intend
to
direct
those
resources
have
not
yet
been
made
available,
but
with
respect
to
overdose
prevention
and
response.
As
some
of
you
will
know,
in
the
spring
of
this
year,
Ottawa
Public
Health
collaborated
with
partners
to
develop
a
coordinated
multi-agency
approach
and
that
approaches
is
currently
being
incrementally
implemented
by
several
entities
within
Ottawa.
I'll.
Ask
dr.
riches
to
provide
an
overview
briefly
of
of
this
approach
to
to
end
us
Thanks.
B
J
The
province,
it's
better
measure
what
is
actually
happening
with
street
level
data
with
data
from
paramedics,
police
and
hospital
emergency
rooms,
so
that
we
can
identify
the
communities
and
populations
at
risk,
we're
supporting
education
and
awareness
for
youth
in
schools,
as
well
as
through
community-based
agencies
that
work
with
youth
and
parents
and
we're
also
working
with
peers.
That's
people
who
use
drugs,
who
are
most
at
risk
of
overdose
to
best
reach
them
and
create
an
environment
where
people
don't
use
alone
and
they
carry
naloxone
other
work.
J
We're
doing
is
evaluating
the
new
Health
Canada
approved,
supervised
injection
service,
and
this
is
offered
by
Ottawa
flick
alpha.
We
are
collaborating
facilitating
collaboration
amongst
all
those
agencies,
planning
to
are
offering
supervised
injection
service,
we're
also
promoting
access
to
community
withdrawal,
treatment
and
addictions
medicine
services.
J
In
our
conversations
with
the
local
health
integration
network,
we
believe
that
they
have
also
received
some
opioid
specific
funding,
we're
continuing
to
work
to
prevent
overdoses
by
by
working
on
things
like
promoting
mental
health
with
our
partners,
early
childhood
development-
and
there
are
many
root
causes
for
substance,
use
and
overdose
that
we'll
continue
to
work
on.
With
these
partners,
you
continue
on
the
travail
avec
beaucoup
de
develop.
We.
C
Thank
you
very
much
to
dr.
Barrera
Chism,
dr.
Levey
in
2018.
The
Board
of
Health
will
continue
to
deliver.
The
high
quality
of
programs
and
services
residents
have
come
to
rely
on.
Oph
looks
forward
to
its
continued
role
in
advancing
health
promotion,
disease
prevention
and
health
protection
in
2018
and
beyond.
C
Counselors
and
member
of
the
public
are
welcome
to
provide
comments
on
the
draft
budget
until
the
board
of
until
the
next
board
of
health
meeting
on
December
11th,
where
the
board
will
be
hearing
from
public
delegations
and
you're
welcome
to
be
part
of
that
process.
Before
I
pass
the
floor
over
to
my
colleagues
for
some
high-level
questions.
I
just
want
to
add
to
mayor
Watson's
comments
about
dr.
C
C
levy
has
displayed
over
the
last
10
years
in
his
role
as
a
medical
office
or
health,
is
to
be
commended
and
based
on
that
professionalism,
I
think
he's
leaving
up
behind
a
very
strong
Ottawa,
Public
Health
team
for
us
to
continue
the
work
with
that
he
started
and
that
the
Board
of
Health
has
started.
Thank
you
very
much
and
over
to
the
floor
for
questions
right.
A
H
You
your
worship,
first
of
all,
I,
wanted
to
begin
by
congratulating
councilor
Qadri
on
the
job
he's
been
doing
as
chair
I
think
it's
been
steady
and
consistent
and
reliable,
and
certainly
something
that
helps
all
members
of
council
as
we
deal
with
these
issues.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
dr.
levy
want
to
say
the
same
thing
about
to
you.
H
You
really
have
studied
the
ship
at
public
health
I'm
when
you
took
over.
It
was
a
huge
challenge
to
get
it
to
the
position
we're
in
now
and
you've
done
a
great
job
and
I
know
when,
even
though
I
disagreed
with
many
of
the
things
you've
brought
forward,
I
think
you've
done
a
great
job
and
also
just
from
a
personal
point
of
view.
A
H
Yeah
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
just
a
quick
question
and
a
request
there.
The
request
is,
it
would
be
great
to
get
a
copy
of
the
presentation
that
miss
jasmine
put
up
on
the
screen.
So
if
that
can
be
emailed
to
cultures,
that
would
be
fantastic
and
the
question
was
I.
Didn't
I
didn't
quite
catch,
it
I'm
sure
it
was
there
somewhere.
But
what
is
the
anticipated
increased
revenue
in
2018
from
the
reduction
of
the
property
tax,
vacancy
rebate,
I.
G
G
G
G
In
this
budget
we
have
a
3%
increase
for
the
social
service
agencies
and
we
have
a
top-up
that
brings
them
to
a
million
dollars.
There
is
no
on-ramp
program
included
in
this
budget.
What
the
mayor
has
indicated
is
that
there
is
to
be
a
review
in
2018
of
the
existing
allocations
to
see
if
there
is
some
capacity
within
that,
and
then
that
would
be
considered
for
the
2019
budget.
Well,
that
could
be,
but
I'm
surprised
that
we
don't
look
after
this
year,
while
we're
doing
that
study.
A
Three,
we
have
the
recommendations,
which
are
one
two
and
three
carried
okay,
we're
now
on
to
page
7
of
our
agenda,
Corporate
Services,
so
vision
at
all
item
8
bylaws
to
authorize
102
million
dollar
debenture
issue.
This
is
the
green
debenture.
Could
miss
similar
just
give
a
brief
overview.
This
is
quite
an
historic
moment
because
we're
the
first
city
I
believe
to
go
down
this
route
of
a
green
bond
and
something
I
think
we
should
be
proud
of
counts.
Miss
Emily,
thank.
G
You
very
much
mr.
Marin.
Yes,
it
is
something
that
I
think
this
council
and
this
city
should
be
proud
of.
We
are
the
first
municipality
in
Canada
to
issue
what
is
referred
to
as
a
green
debenture,
and
what
that
means
is
that
those
funds
can
only
be
used
for
projects
that
meet
the
criteria
of
being
green.
In
this
case,
all
of
these
funds,
the
hundred
and
two
million
dollars
that
we
raised
will
be
used
towards
stage
two
of
light
rail
which,
as
you
know,
is
provides
for
a
significant
reduction
in
greenhouse
gases.
G
As
part
of
issuing
this
debenture,
we
had
to
establish
a
green
framework
which
is
on
the
city's
website,
which
outlines
how
we
will
use
these
funds,
how
we
will
track
the
use
of
these
funds,
and
how
will
we
report
to
the
investors
every
year
that
these
funds,
in
fact
are
achieving
the
objectives
they
were
intended
for?
The
work
that
was
done
on
this
by
the
treasure
group
was
significant
and
Mark
Martin
manager
of
Treasury
was
has
been.
G
The
has
been
the
cheerleader
for
this
process
for
almost
two
years
now
he
was
able
to
basically
convince
the
banks
to
provide
the
funds
to
us
to
have
provide.
It
has
to
have
a
yearly
audit
to
have
to
pay
for
the
audit,
so
there's
no
cost
to
the
taxpayers
as
a
result
of
that.
And
secondly,
when
we
went
out
to
market
this,
he
worked
with
the
banks
and
was
able
to
get
enough
support
for
this
that
when
he
went
live
we
actually
could
have
issued
two
hundred
and
fifty
million
dollars.
G
There
was
enough
demand
at
that
point
in
time
to
provide
that
level
of
debt.
As
a
result,
we
were
able
to
lower
the
price
to
lower
the
interest
rate
on
it
and
by
one
and
a
half
to
two
basis
points
and
that
will
save
us,
the
city
taxpayer,
four
hundred
thousand
over
the
life
of
the
debenture.
The
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
is
that
not
only
is
that
we
have
to
use
it
for
green
purposes,
but
the
only
people
who
can
buy
it
are
investors
who
are
certified
as
green
investors
as
well.
G
K
You
very
much
a
week
ago,
I
engaged
in
some
hyperbole
on
the
radio,
so
at
risk
of
doing
it
twice
in
about
ten
days,
I'm,
absolutely
thrilled
to
with
the
work
that
you've
done
and
to
see
this
come
forward.
It
was
probably
about
a
year
ago
that
I
I
brought
an
inquiry
to
to
committee
about
whether
the
city
was
pursuing
the
idea
of
green
bonds.
What
exactly
they
were?
K
Everyone
who
has
worked
on
this
I
think
the
main
point
I
want
to
make
in
support
of
this
is
that
a
city
that
has
an
excellent
credit
rating
that
is
clearly
demonstrated
that
money
is
going
towards
the
definition
of
what
a
green
project
is,
develops,
a
reputation
as
being
a
very
reliable
borrower,
and
that
this
is
money.
That
is
these
projects,
is
the
so-called
green
projects
offer
a
phenomenal
rate
of
return
to
the
city
in
the
sense
of
the
savings
that
we
that
we
generate?
K
I
was
just
chatting
to
a
councilor
Philly
about
money
being
invested
in
Ottawa
community
housing
for
energy
retrofits
of
their
buildings
and
what
the
returns
are
there.
There
was
a
stat
in
in
an
article
yesterday
and
the
citizen
about
the
new
Building
Code
National,
Building,
Code,
being
debated
for
every
dollar
invested
in
a
higher
energy
retrofits
of
a
building
or
better
equipment.
The
expected
return
is
five
to
eight
dollars
and
for
an
economy
of
five
to
eight
dollar
GDP
improvement
per
dollar
spent.
K
You
can't
get
a
return
and
anything
legal
for
that
in
any
other
way,
and
so
that
the
city
be
pursuing
all
opportunities,
whether
it's
through
our
own
building
improvements,
I'm
pleased
to
see
there's
significant
money
in
this
budget
we
have
before
us,
but
also
in
transit,
and
the
many
benefits
that
come
out
of
that
I.
Think
it's
great.
So
thank
you
for
forgetting
us
started.
I.
Think
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity
for
us
in
in

bonds
and
debentures
Thank.

The
there's
a
demand
out
there
there
are
investors
are
requiring,
are
looking
for
specific
things
with
to
do
with
their
money,
and
so
this
allows
these
investors
to
say.
Yes,
we
purchased
green
bonds
and
basically
increase
their
overall
pool
of
investors
as
a
result
of
it.
It
basically
is
creating
a
new
market.
If
you
want
to
call
it,
that's.

Carey

Dean's
thanks.
L
Mr.
mayor
I
just
read
the
motion
and
then
I'll
just
I
speak
to
it
briefly,
whereas
bill
148,
fair
workplaces,
better
Jobs,
Act
2017
is
currently
being
debated
in
the
Legislative
Assembly
of
Ontario
and
whereas
the
city
of
ottawa
employs
485,
volunteer,
firefighters,
which
represents
36%
of
its
fire
fighting
force
and
whereas
the
association
of
municipalities
of
ontario,
which
supports
the
intent
of
bill,
148,
has
nevertheless
raised
concerns
about
the
impacts
of
certain
provisions
on
municipalities
and
has
proposed
a
number
of
specific
amendments.
L
148
requirements
do
not
override
other
statutory
obligations
that
municipal
governments
are
required
to
provide
Public
Safety
and
whereas
bill
148
proposed
visions
are
expected
to
add
significant
cost
of
providing
public
safety
services
in
the
City
of
Ottawa,
which
is
being
reported
by
the
Ottawa
Citizen
as
up
to
13
million
dollars
annually,
with
the
highest
anticipated
impact
on
the
delivery
of
fire
services
in
rural
communities.
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
councils
support
a
Mo's
position
on
the
proposed
amendments
to
bill
148
and
that
marijuana
sent
a
letter
to
the
province
of
Ontario
detailing
the
city's
position.
L
Mr.
mayor,
if
I
could
just
speak
briefly
to
this,
I
think
that
most
people
know
bill
148
I
for
including
the
increase
in
minimum
wage
to
$15
in
two
years
time,
but
the
bill
also
includes
several
other
elements
that
could
affect
municipalities.
The
motion
today
is
about
a
piece
that
seeks
to
change
the
way
that
on-call
workers
are
paid
for
the
City
of
Ottawa.
This
could
have
significant
impacts
because
of
our
485
volunteer,
firefighters.
L
The
motion
today
asked
the
city
support
a
male's
position
on
amendments,
including
exempting
those
who
are
on-call
for
statutory
public
safety
services,
an
exemption
for
volunteer
firefighters
and
assurance
that
the
new
wood
bill
will
not
override
a
municipalities
obligation
to
provide
Public
Safety.
Thank
you
great.
A
H
G
Citizen
used
extrapolated
that
number
from
their
discussions
with
a
MoU.
We
are
in
the
process
right
now
of
actually
trying
to
determine
what
would
be
the
impact
on
the
City
of
Ottawa,
but
we
think
it
could
go
up
to
that
amount.
But
at
this
point
in
time
we
we
haven't
done
all
the
work
to
give
you
a
definitive
City
of
Ottawa
impact.

you.
