nowhere,

you're,
an
Ontario

I
spoke
yesterday
to
Minister
Peter.
E
We
had
a
very
good
discussion
and
he
is
more
than
willing
to
meet
with
the
mayor's
from
the
Rideau
community.
The
corridor
and
I
know
councillor
Thompson
has
been
our
council
lead
on
this
committee
and
he
respects
the
fact
that
we
have
a
motion
before
us,
but
has
wanted
me
to
convey
to
members
of
council
these
more
than
willing
to
meet
we'll
take
him
up
on
that
offer
and
I.
E
Think
I
had
a
discussion
with
one
MP
as
well
yesterday,
and
certainly
mayor
Struthers
from
Marrickville
has
been
quite
vocal
on
this
and
will
continue
to
work
with
him
and
the
other
mayor's
so
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
know
that.
Certainly,
the
federal
government
is
amenable
to
meeting
and
I
indicated
that
we
would
be
prepared
to
host
the
meeting
here.
K
A

O
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
mayor,
moved
by
my
sounds
seconded
by
Councillor
D
technical
amendment
therefore
be
it
resolved
that
French
recommendation
3
be
corrected
to
accurately
reflect
wording
contained
in
the
English
recommendation.
Mr.
mayor
I'm
not
going
to
read
the
recommendation,
I
think
it's
posted,
but
it's
it's
a
technical
amendment
that
doesn't
change
the
substance
of
the
report
believe.
E
E
B
Emotion
in
a
way,
mr.
merits
to
clarify
that
it's
apply,
it
does
not
apply
to
the
business
parks
and
places
that
are
not
at
derelict
at
all,
but
it
does
not
change
the
tone
of
the
motion.
So
it's
resolved
that
counseling
to
encourage
activity
of
the
respect
to
these
properties,
petition
the
province
limit,
access
to
this
rebate
to
a
three-year
period
for
properties.
Meeting
the
following
criteria:
more
than
50%
of
the
building
is
vacant.
B
The
property
is
not
in
an
area
with
higher
than
average
vacancy
property
is
not
a
single
purpose
used
property
and
that
the
city
property,
Standards
officer,
has
determined
that
the
property
is
derelict,
does
not
meet
generally
accepted
property
standards.
Now
this
was
prepared
by
staff,
mr.
mr.
mayor,
to
try
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
hinder
their
business
parks
which
may
have
moving
vacancies
so.
E
H
H
You
know
some
of
the
other.
Things
are
questionable
in
terms
of
whether
it's
friendly
amendment
or
not
so
I,
don't
believe
it
is
I,
don't
have
a
problem
with
Clause
4,
but
the
first
three
would
indicate
that
that
if
the,
if
the
building
is
got
a
couple
of
bins
vacant,
that's
not
what
we're
aiming
at
we're
aiming
at
properties
that
are
derelict,
not
properties
that
are
in
use
their
words.
If
a
if
the
Bayshore
mall
has
three
empty
stores,
it's
not
of
any
any
issue
and
I
really
don't
know
what
we're
trying
to
get
at.

E
Okay,
so
we
have
my
Isis
I
think
there
are.
A
number
of
people
have
questions
on
that.
So
we'll
come
back,
we'll
hold
that
one
as
well
and
we'll
go
to
item
number
13
capital

that

E
E
No
we'll
come
back
to
that.
That's
fine,
okay,
so
item

is
being
held
as
well.
Item

Does
anyone
wish
to
remove
anything
from
the
bulk
consent
agenda
on
the
bulk
consent
agenda
as
presented
carried
okay,
so
we'll
go
back
now
to
the
tax
rebate
for
vacant
commercial
properties?
If
mr.
Hughes
could
come
forward,
I
believe
councillor
Wilkinson,
you
want
it
mr.
Hughes,
to
offer
an
explanation
on
the
motion,
so
we'll
ask
mr.
E
M
Kanata,
for
example,
has
experienced
a
higher
than
average
rate
of
vacancy
since
the
high-tech
crash
a
number
of
years
ago
and
in
Canada
we
also
see
a
number
of
single
use
properties
properties,
for
instance,
that
would
have
that
would
would
have
special
application
to
the
high-tech
industry.
Not
these
properties,
don't
lend
themselves
to
be
rented
out
to
to
people
who
are
doing
any
other
types
of
manufacturing,
so
it's
reasonable
to
expect
that
those
properties
would
take
longer
than
the
normal
to
rent.
E
Q
Thank
You
mr.
chair
mr.
chair
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
on
this
and
and
the
first
one
deals
with
the
the
cost-of-living
increase
and
I
understand.
This
is
no
matter
when
this
is
done.
This
is
always
a
touchy
situation
and
and
there's
nothing
less
comfortable
than
I.
Guess
us
negotiating
with
ourselves.
It
really
isn't
another
party
on
the
other
side
of
the
table,
but
normally
the
reports
that
have
come
back
in
the
past
would
indicate
that
increases
such
as
this
would
be
implemented
in
the
following
term.
Q
M
Mayor
part
of
the
rationale
was
the
rationale
and
over
light,
overlying
guiding
principles
that
we
used
with
regards
to
this
entire
report,
which
included
transparency,
accountability
and
consistency,
and
when
we
began
to
look
at
the
issues
surrounding
the
original
task
force
on
counsel
remuneration
and
I
would
say
to
this
council
what
I
said
to
committee
I
was
the
staff
liaison
for
the
purposes
of
that
particular
external
report.
It
failed
on
a
number
of
those
errors,
particularly
with
regards
to
the
complex
formula
for
setting
the
mayor
and
councillors
salaries.
M
Similarly,
with
the
consistency
issue
is
the
fact
that
councils
and
I
haven't
seen
clearly
over
the
last
couple
of
terms
have
not
actually
applied
this
formula.
They've
done
other
things,
ad
hoc
measures,
usually
sometime
after
the
budget.
So
what
we
were
looking
for
was
to
be
transparent
and
accountable
to
the
public
and
provide
a
consistent
and
clear
formula
for
the
change
I.
Q
Guess
my
perspective
would
be
that
accountability
and
transparency
is
achieved
by
making
this
effective
the
first
day
of
a
following
of
a
new
term,
and
that
way
it's
the
voters
and
get
to
probably
have
the
best
past
the
best
judgment
on
the
transparency
of
it,
not
sure.
If
there's
a
will
around
the
table
to
do
to
move
that
or
to
second,
that
I
would
be
prepared
to
move
it.
My
other
question
else
or.
J
And
again,
just
to
add
to
what
the
clerk
said
when
council
adopted
the
citizens
Task
Force
on
remuneration,
recommend
when,
when
Council
adopted
the
citizens
Task
Force
on
remuneration
recommendations,
if
one
of
the
recommendations
was
in
fact
that
members
vote
on
their
salaries
at
the
first
meeting
in
the
new
term,
we
didn't
do
that
this
term,
because
council
already
had
an
existing
salary
freeze,
the
salary
freeze
came
out
and
we
were
obliged
to
actually
come
back
to
deal
with
this
matter.
Okay,.
Q
Thank
you
for
that.
The
the
next
question
deals
with
number
28,
the
temporary
FTE,
to
support
the
deputy
mayors
and
I.
Don't
doubt
in
the
lease
that
that
this
is
something
that
maybe
you
know
that
the
workload
may
be
such
that
it
requires
this,
but
I
I
see
this
not
being
I,
don't
see
it
in
the
proper
context,
in
the
sense
that
a
number
of
years
ago
we
approved
half
an
FTE
per
committee,
and
certainly
the
committee
workload
has
changed.
Q
The
committee
meetings
are
less
frequent
and
I
would
have
thought
the
the
proper
approach
here
is
to
do
these
all
together,
because
I
think
there
needs
to
be
an
evaluation
of
the
the
committee
in
the
committee
workload
and
other
than
planning
where
I
can
see.
Certainly
the
the
workload
is
there,
we've
actually
divided
into
more
committees
over
the
years
and
they
meet
less
frequently
and
and
not
linking
these
two
together
is
like
a
piecemeal
approach,
and
this
this
is
the
incremental
way
that
we
increase
FTEs
in
our
budget
every
year.
Q
M
Mr.
mayor,
all
all
defer
to
the
deputy
in
a
moment
if
she
has
anything
further
to
add,
but
the
way
that
staff
are
looking
at
this
from
my
office
was.
This
was
an
appropriate
matter
for
midterm,
based
on
what
we
thought
was
the
volume
of
work,
quite
frankly,
coming
out
of
our
office.
But
we
would
also
take
it
as
a
direction.
Mr.
H
You
well,
you
know
at
the
beginning
of
this
term,
when
the
salaries
were
frozen,
I
wasn't
asked
and
there
were
nobody
objected,
and
these
were
by
the
way
passed
by
the
previous
council
for
the
following
term.
The
very
thing
that
council
herb
Louis
is
suggesting
to
take
it
out
of
the
hands
of
the
people
that
are
immediately
implicated.
H
Here.
We
are
we're
not
asked
again,
it
shows
up
buried
in
a
report,
Clause
29
and
we
weren't
asked
again
and
now
we're
getting
people
to
say
well,
I'm
opting
out
well
I,
don't
know
well
just
beating
on
the
favor
of
opting
out
or
not
opting
out,
but
the
fact
is
that
you
know:
we've
been
rather
collaborative
through
this
council
I
believe
that
the
saying
of
the
family
that
prays
together
stays
together,
I
believe
that
everybody
should
be
in
or
everybody
should
be
out.
H
Yes,
that's
what
I
believe
mr.
mayor
I
have
as
well.
If
it's
decided
that
we
are
going
to
reinstitute,
the
previous
councils
recommendation
for
cost-of-living
increases
that
I
will
donate
the
proceeds
which,
in
my
case,
come
to
net
eight
hundred
ninety
dollars
a
year
to
a
particular
charity
that
houses
18
micro
Charities.
It's
an
amazing
operation
that
you
should
look
into
because
you
know
we
talked
about
incubating
businesses
when
we
put
them
in
an
incubator
where
they
have
shared
services
and
shared
communications
and
those
kind
of
things.
H
This
is
a
well-established
model
in
the
business
community.
It's
not
a
well-established
model
in
the
charitable
community,
so
I
I
look
at
the
heartwood
house
as
an
experiment
that
may
a
branched
out
and
expand
into
providing
joint
services
for
a
number
of
charities.
So
if
you
decide
that
I
have
to
take
this
$890
net,
I
will
keep
it
for
about
five
minutes.
I
have
Maureen
Maloney
here
to
accept
my
cheque
so
that
you
know
I
mean
it.
A
M
Mr.
mayor,
with
regards
to
the
question,
the
Municipal
Act
mandates
that
there
at
least
four
different
policies
that
all
of
our
local
boards
and
the
clear
definition
of
that
which
includes
business
improvement,
areas
and
other
local
boards
for
the
city
must
be
compliant
with,
and
council
has
the
overall
governance
responsibilities
for
its
local
boards.
M
In
that
matter,
we
have
on
two
different
occasions
over
the
last
couple
of
years
shared
with
some
of
these
boards
and
commissions,
our
template
documents
for
things
like
procedure,
bylaw
and
hiring
policies
and
those
sorts
of
things
to
ensure
that
they
are
they
are
compliant.
We
are
monitoring
them,
as
the
report
indicates
in
the
new
step
that
we're
going
to
do
in
particularly
with
our
BIA
s
is
work
with
economic
development
and
go
BIA
and
ensure
that
they
have
all
of
the
orientation
and
information
they
require.
We
are
looking
at
mr.
R
You
know
it
is
a
solid
principle
to
have
the
outgoing
council
set
remuneration
for
the
incoming
council
and
that's
exactly
what
this
does
because
the
outgoing
council
last
time
said
you
shall
have
a
two-year
pay
freeze
and
then
you
return
to
a
modified
version
of
the
formula
from
that
the
city
clerk
described
when
we
looked
at
the
commitments
from
various
members
when
they
ran
during
the
last
election.
The
majority
of
members
supported
the
2-year
wage
freeze
and
did
not
support
a
wage
freeze
beyond
the
two
years.
R
This
one
the
recommendation
from
the
governance
report.
Basically,
in
acts
that
directive
from
the
previous
council
only
it
does
give
the
new
council
slightly
less
of
an
increase
than
they
might
might
otherwise
have
expected
when
they
were
seeking
office
at
the
last
election.
So
if
you're,
a
fan
of
having
the
outgoing
council
set
the
pay
for
the
incoming
council,
then
the
staff
recommendation
in
the
report
is
is
the
route
that
best
best
gives
effect
to
that.
R
So
I
think
that's
the
the
first
thing
we
should
look
at
and
I
think
all
members
of
council
should
support
it
now
for
their
own
personal
situation,
necessarily
but
you're
you're,
setting
remuneration
for
the
office
and
for
people
who
will
come
in
to
run
as
candidates
next
time
and
they
need
to
know
what
to
expect
in
terms
of
predictability
in
terms
of
certainty
and
commitment
to
our
our
economic
development
issues.
On
the
issue
of
the
scheduler,
it's
not
a
seventy-five
thousand
dollar
job.
Let's
begin
with
that,
that's
an
exaggeration!
R
Secondly,
when
you
look
at
the
amount
of
or
the
number
of
events
that
the
mayor
attends
every
year,
if
it's
anywhere
between
1200
and
1700-
and
you
relate
that
to
the
average
work
year
at
the
city,
the
work
here
at
the
city
is
1820
hours.
That
means
the
event.
Attendance
by
the
mayor
and
deputy
mayor's
is
a
full
year's
work
for
a
person.
R
M
You,
mr.
mayor,
my
question
on
this
opting-out
motion
is
my
fear
with
it
is
that
it
creates
different
pay
levels
for
around
the
city,
because
we're
talking
about
the
position,
not
the
people
in
the
position,
so
I
looked
under
it
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
what
we're
voting
on
here.
If
someone,
if
with
this
goes
through
and
someone
chooses
to
opt
out,
could
the
clerk
tell
us
that
like
will
they
have
to
set
a
period
like?
Will
they
be
off
nope
for
the
full
term
when
they
come
back
in?
M
Do
they
come
back
in
at
whatever
the
salary
level
is
at
that
point
or,
for
example,
if
it's
90
2400
now,
when
they
come
back
in,
do
they
just
go
up
1.9
percent
from
92?
At
that
point,
mr.
mayor,
the
way
the
a
resolution
Clause
excuse
me
as
phrased
is
that
they
would
have
quite
frankly,
no
time
limit
on
when
they
could
opt
out
previously.
When
counsel
had
a
similar
motion,
it
was
five
business
days.
M
So
there
was
a
great
deal
of
scrutiny
involved
in
that,
but
here
it
says
that
they
will
be
able
to
opt
out
salary
arrangements
by
indicating
their
preference
in
writing
with
the
city
clerk.
It
is
my
understanding,
mr.
mr.
mayor,
that,
if
they
are
opting
out,
they
would
remain
at
the
current
salary.
I'm,
not
aware
that
there's
any
intention
in
the
motion
to
make
it
a
50%
opt
out
or
any
other
deviation
of
the
same
with
regards
to
what
would
go
forward
in
the
future.
M
So
if
I
understood
that
correctly,
you're
opting
out
for
the
term
and
you
if,
if
you
get
reelected
or
whoever
replaces
you,
they
come
back
in
at
whatever
that
salary
level
is
at
that
time.
Yes,
mr.
mayor,
subject
to
being
further
clarity
from
the
mover
and
seconder,
that
is
my
understanding:
okay,
okay
and
another
issue.
As
part
of
this
report,
the
item
number
10,
where
it
says
that
staff
be
directed
to
undertake
a
review
of
the
Pineview,
a
golfcourse
relationship
with
the
city.
Do
we
have
any
timeline
for
that
report?
Coming
back
mr.
mayor
well,.
E
E
E
N
You
very
much
mr.
mayor
and
with
respect
to
the
motion
that
I
put
forward.
I
wanted
to
just
simply
make
a
few
basic
points.
First
of
all,
is
that
I
have
a
I
have
certainly
a
very
personal
understanding
that
every
single
one
of
the
members
of
council
worked
very
hard.
So
that's
not
in
debate
at
all.
What
I'm
attempting
to
do
with
this
motion
is
simply
established.
The
opportunity
for
personal
choice.
N
N
What
what
I'm
simply
trying
to
do
is
establish
the
opportunity
for
personal
choice,
and
that
would
be
consistent
with
the
understanding
of
my
residents
when
I
committed
during
an
election
campaign
not
to
take
a
car
allowance.
There
was
an
implied
understanding
that
I
wouldn't
take
any
additional
monies
throughout
the
course
of
this
term,
so
I'm
trying
to
keep
true
to
the
spirit
of
that
commitment.
N
My
comment
on
that
would
be.
It
wasn't
a
position
that
made
the
commitment.
It
was
a
person
I
wasn't
the
office
of
anything
when
I
was
a
candidate
when
I
made
that
commitment.
Therefore,
it
shouldn't
be
incumbent
upon
my
office
to
pay
for
that
commitment.
It
should
be
incumbent
upon
me
to
pay
for
it,
so
by
virtue
of
this
motion,
I'm
simply
trying
to
allow
us
the
flexibility
to
exercise
our
own
personal
choice
when
it
comes
to
matters
of
Finance.
Thank
you.
E
L
Thank
you
very
much.
Perhaps
a
wiser
men
and
I
would
have
just
stayed
out
of
this
debate,
but
here
we
are
I
think
this
council
has
been
very
good
at
not
playing
political
games
and
and
I
can't
think
of
other
words
and
saying
posturing
between
one
another.
Look
at
me,
I'm
doing
this
you're
doing
that
and
I
believe
this
is
a
moment
where
we
need
to
stay
consistent
as
a
group
and
take
a
vote.
L
This
is
a
job,
it's
a
very
tough
job
and
not
a
lot
of
people
want
to
get
on
we're
not
over
paid
for
the
work,
but
we're
well
paid
to
take
anything
other
than
a
cost-of-living
allowance.
Increase
would
actually
mean
we're
taking
a
decrease
every
year,
we're
getting
less
money
each
year
than
when
we
started
I
believe
it
is
the
right
thing
that
we
vote
now
effective
in
this
year
to
establish
a
cost
of
living
allowance
rate,
establish
the
salary
and
get
it
out
of
the
political
arena.
It's
done
it's
now.
L
We
know
our
salary
and
anyone
running
will
know
what
they're
getting
and
once
and
for
all,
we
put
it
off
the
table.
We
have
that
chance
now.
As
regards
to
councillor
Taylor's
motion
I,
understand
where
it's
coming
from
some
councillors
made
commitments,
but
I
think
once
we
start
establishing
different
levels,
different
categories,
we
start
falling
into
that
or
different
levels.
Again.
I
would
suggest
that
for
those
who
have
made
those
sorts
of
commitments,
you
still
have
the
opportunity
to
make
your
charitable
donation.
L
You
can
choose
to
do
it
quietly,
because
you
think
it's
the
right
thing
to
do.
You
can
choose
to
do
it
publicly,
because
you
made
a
commitment
and
you
need
to
show
your
voters
that
you
followed
through
on
it,
but
I.
Don't
think
that
we
should
be
setting
up
a
separate
category
here
or
we
can
opt-in
and
opt-out,
or
else
we
will
all
be
dragged
down
to
the
race
to
the
bottom.
I
didn't
take.
This
I
didn't
take
that
I'm,
giving
that
back
I
don't
think
we
need
to
do
that.
A
M
M
E
E
E
E
Well,
we're
waiting
a
deputy
clerk
I
just
wanted
to
thank
our
deputy
clerk,
because
the
midterm
governance
is
a
large
undertaking
and
I
think
they
did
a
very
good
job,
along
with
our
city,
clerk
and
I,
neglected
to
thank
them
for
their
hard
work.
So
councilor
egg
lie.
You
have
a
question.
The
staff
I
believe.
P
Yes,
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and
I
apologize.
It
wasn't
able
to
get
to
planning
yesterday
because
of
another
commitment,
because
this
is
this
is
an
issue
of
concern
in
my
in
my
ward.
So
you
may
have
covered
this
yesterday,
mr.
Chandy,
but
my
understanding
was
in
December.
You
were
directed
to
go
off
and
look
at
alternatives
to
the
December
7th
report
and
come
back
with
those
at
the
meeting
in
February
of
Planning
Committee
from
what
I
can
see
on
paper.
Anyway,
we
have
exactly
the
same
report.
P
F
Through
you,
mr.
mayor
at
Planning
Committee
yesterday,
we
were
asked
they
the
work
that
we
had
done
as
per
planning
committees
direction,
to
go,
look
specifically
at
vacant
positions
across
the
corporation
and
any
possible
opportunity
to
match
vacant
FTEs
and
available
funds
behind
those
FTEs
to
this
project.
We
worked
with
the
city
treasurer
to
look
at
this
corporately
and
reported
back
to
the
committee
yesterday
that
in
fact,
we
had
not
found
suitable
funding
to
offset
the
cost
of
these
two
planners.
So
is
your.
F
The
intent
would
be
that
these
positions
would
be
sustained
for
as
long
as
there
is
the
demand
through
the
capital
budget
through
the
cash
in
lieu
coming
forward,
which,
from
where
we
sit
now
looks
like
it's
going
to
be
at
least
for
a
few
few
years
going
forward.
We
certainly
have
enough
projects
in
the
queue
for
2013
and
went
well
into
2014.
So
this
isn't.
F
P
F
I
mean
the
total
cost
of
the
property.
Mr.
mayor
I
can't
quantify
in
dollars
because
not
all
projects
have
been
completely
costed
out,
yet
some
of
them
are
in
the
process
of
doing
that.
I
can
tell
you
that
we
have
70
projects
on
the
table
at
this
point.
23
of
those
are
cash
and
loo
projects,
but
not
all
of
them
have
been
costed.
They
all
they
range
from
small
projects
in
the
few
thousand
dollars
to
the
$300,000
range,
but.
P
Guess,
where
I'm
going
with
this
mr.
Chan
yay
is
in
2013?
Are
you
going
to
have
enough
of
those
projects
in
excess
of
$100,000
to
where
you
get
to
the
2.2
million
dollars?
You
need?
Are
you
going
to
exceed
the
2.2
million
dollars
and
in
terms
of
the
projects
and
I
canna,
pin
you
down
to
exact
cent,
but
you
must
have
an
idea
whether
we're
talking
to
in
and
that
type
of
projects
are
four
million
in
that
type
of
projects.
So.
F
You
mr.mayor
because
of
the
unique
situation
that
we're
in
of
just
taking
this
approach
now.
Recommendation
2
of
the
report
recommends
that
for
2013
and
the
further
projects
that
are
in
stream
now
that
the
funding
derived
we
derived
from
the
citywide
cash
and
lieu
reserve
and
that
in
fact,
the
projects
that
are
on
the
books
now
not
be
hit
with
the
10%
levy.
F
P
F
P
F
P
F
Have
to
work
out
a
process
so
that
that
doesn't
happen
and
that
there
is
equity
among
amongst
projects.
We
haven't
worked
out
the
mechanism
by
which
we
would
draw
those
funds
with
with
mr.
Moser
or
with
the
treasurer,
but
I
think
our
intent
would
be
that
all
projects
would
share
in
the
costs
and
that
the
product
and
that
those
costs
be
capped
at
what's
required.
Okay,.
P
P
P
F
P
E
Okay,
we
have
a
motion
from
counselors
sure,
Ellie
and
hubely,
be
it
resolved
that
the
recommendation
be
amended
to
change
the
funding
source
to
citywide
contingency
counselor,
sure
Ellie.
Would
you
like
to
introduce
this
motion?
This
is
basically
what
I
believe
was
attempted
at
the
committee
yeah.
It
was
rejected.
R
It
was
the
only
item
where
we
actually
debated
a
change
in
where
we
actually
debated
a
change
in
the
operational
budget,
so
I
think
when
council
detects
a
need
to
get
caught
up
on
these
types
of
things
and
a
need
to
give
effect
to
what
the
community
wants
on
these
types
of
things.
We
need
to
move
on
it.
Secondly,
putting
it
in
contingency,
instead
of
according
to
the
current
recommendation,
even
recognizing
that
that
these
projects
are
funded
in
the
way
they
are
and
with
the
split
they
are
with.
R
You
know
up
to
80%
the
way
it
is
we
need.
We
need
to
send
a
message
on
this
that
this
should
be
something
that
is
an
operational
priority
of
the
city,
that
it
will
be
a
priority
included
in
the
next
budget
or
at
least
in
the
base.
It
gets
examined
for
the
next
budget
and
that
will
will
be
handled
fairly
across
the
city
so
that,
regardless
of
which
part
of
the
city
you
happen
to
live
in
or
represent,
you're
going
to
get
the
same
sort
of
recognition
and
possibility.
R
And
finally,
with
the
the
willingness
to
create
temporary
positions
in
this
building,
I
think
it
makes
sense
that,
if
you're,
that,
if
we're
going
to
have
one
more
that
it
or
if
there's,
if
there's
only
one
more,
that
has
been
specifically
asked
for
by
Council
that
that
should
be
okay.
When
we're
trying
to
give
a
fact
to
something
that
is
the
wish
of
the
public.
The
demand
of
the
public
and
the
need
of
the
public.
So
I
think
this
motion
accomplishes
that
and
urge
you
to
vote
for
it.
S
You
mr.
deputy
mayor
I'm
gonna
ask
members
of
council
not
to
support
this
motion
for
a
very
fundamental
reason,
because
it
is
not
the
way
we
fund
the
developments
of
parks
in
any
other
part
of
the
city.
If
you're
in
a
growth
community,
like
council,
Wilkinson
council
harder
councillor
Manette
any
of
the
other
ones.
When
you
go
to
plan
a
park,
the
park
planner
is
not
paid
from
the
general
tax
base.
It's
paid
from
development
charges,
so
those
development
charges
pay
for
that
park,
planner
which
execute
that
park
plan.
S
S
Don't
think
that
that's
right,
I
think
that
what
we
need
to
be
doing
is
as
closely
as
possible
saying
we're
going
to
treat
parks
in
growth
communities
where
the
the
amounts
of
monies
that
are
collected
from
development
charges
pay
for
those
park
planners
we're
gonna,
do
the
same
thing
for
CIL
funds.
So
when
you
have,
but
you
know,
we
can't
make
them
absolutely
equal
because
the
legislation
and
other
things,
but
we've
done
a
pretty
good
job
with
the
report
that
you
see
in
front
of
in
front
of
you.
S
So
you
know
when
Council
harder
goes
to
build
that
splash
pad
in
her
ward
in
her
parks,
a
portion
of
the
development
charges
goes
to
pay
for
the
park
planner
to
plan
that
and
I.
Don't
think
that
should
be
any
different
than
a
councillor
guys
word
or
in
my
work
quite
quite
frankly.
So
I
think
we
need
to
treat
all
of
the
development
of
splash
pads,
whether
they're
in
council,
Harder's
worth
councillor
egg
lies
or
my
ward,
exactly
the
same
and
and
I
think
that
we've
established
the
principle
on
how
we
fund
these
park
planners.
S
In
the
case,
we've
done
it
very
principally
with
development
charges
and
we've
said:
okay,
development
charges
will
pay
for
the
development
of
that
splash
pad,
not
the
general
tax
base
and
I
think
we
just
have
to
extend
that
principle
to
CIL
funds
and
I
know
that's
hard,
because
councillors
see
these
CIL
funds
as
very
personal
amounts
of
money,
and
so
they
see
every
nickel
that
goes
out.
That's
not
going
into
the
ground
as
a
lost
opportunity.
S
Well,
you
know,
I
could
I
would
argue
that
that
those
people
in
those
growth
communities
who
see
that
development
charge
money
shrinking
and
going
to
pay
for
Park
planners
feel
exactly
the
same
way.
Yet
as
a
matter
of
principle,
they've
not
adopted
the
position
that
the
general
tax
base
should
pay
for
Park
Planning
in
in
their
community
and
they've
accepted
that
development
charges
should
pay
for
those
park
planners
as
we
develop
the
recreation
complexes
and
the
parks
and
the
splash
pads
in
those
areas.
S
So
what
I'm
saying
to
members
of
council
is
that
what
you
have
before
you
from
Planning
Committee
is
the
most
principled
approach
to
take
when
applying
these
CIL
funds.
I.
Think
that
this
is
I
understand
why
they're
doing
it
but
I
think
it's
the
wrong
approach
to
take,
because
if
I
was
in
a
developing
community,
I
would
be
coming
back.
You
now
and
saying.
Okay,
if
that's
the
way
you
want
to
treat
park,
planning
do
the
same.
S
Give
the
same
benefit
to
my
residents,
who
now
I'm
going
to
get
that
twenty
two
thousand
dollars
or
whatever
the
money
is
and
I'm
going
to
be
able
to
apply
it
to
make
my
park
just
that
much
better,
because
I
don't
have
that
privilege
today
and
you
know
so
I'm,
not
sure
and
I,
don't
believe
you
can
treat
the
two
situations
differently
and
I.
Believe
planning
committee
has
done
a
good
job
and
treating
all
of
our
residents
who
see
park
development
in
in
their
community
fairly
and
and
equitably.
Q
H
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
was
kind
of
fortunate
not
to
be
at
Planning
Committee
and
listening
that
to
be
history,
but
I've
heard
I've
heard
it
today,
and
it
strikes
me
that
we
have
a
a
way
of
taking
funds
that
were
the
we'll
call
it
the
ward,
the
ward
funds
for
cash
in
lieu
of
parkland
and
getting
some
work
done,
and
that's
what
I
liked
about
the
motion
that
was
there
before
this
amendment
I
think
contingency
funds
are
there
for
exactly
that
contingencies
and
I,
don't
see
this
is
being
continuously.
H
Poverty,
the
guy
who
cried
poverty
to
me,
is
incredible.
He
really
is
we'll
have
to
find
a
way
that
he
can
get
his
projects
done
too,
because
that's
what
we're
all
about
in
here
we're
a
little
bit
getting
these
projects
off
the
ground
running
and
getting
our
communities
with
more
and
better
facilities,
each
and
every
one
of
those
warts,
probably
a
good
fire
station
site
down
there
and
were
in
Ward
9
that
we
could
use
for
recreation.
H
C
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and
I
I
really
didn't
want
to
speak
on
this
because,
but
sometimes
I,
don't
I,
don't
speak
often,
but
when
I
do
is
because
I'm
really
ticked
off,
because
I
think
that
collectively
around
the
room
and
I
listen
to
what
councillor
Turner
chanko
said
in
the
last
debate
that
we
had
on
the
last
vote,
the
last
item-
and
it
was
about
how
we
succeed
by
working
together,
we
should
never
vote
for
something
that
does
a
disservice
or
a
dissent
disadvantages
other
people
in
our
city.
C
And
yet,
if
you
support
the
sure
le
hubely
motion,
that's
exactly
what
you're
doing
you
see,
there's
a
reason
why
some
of
the
areas
have
a
lot
of
CI
ELLs
and
are
really
excited
about
spending
them.
That's
what
we're
talking
about
here
we're
talking
about
the
fact
that
in
the
older
areas,
when
they
have
an
infill
into
it,
they
get
C
ILS,
because
they
already
have
parks
and
guess
what
even
those
older
parks.
We
have
a
life
cycle
program.
Our
life
cycle
program
is
separate
from
what
we're
talking
about
today.
C
C
So
if
you,
if
you
go
ahead
and
support
the
shurelya
motion,
you're
absolutely
creating
a
disadvantage
to
the
majority
of
people
in
the
city,
I'm
talking
about
the
people
who
are
all
the
growth
areas,
certainly
the
rural
communities
where
they
have
smaller,
smaller
growth,
but
still
significant
growth
and
I.
Don't
think
that's,
fair
and
I,
don't
think
it's
reasonable
and
there
is
absolutely
no
way
that
I
can
reconcile
the
fact
that
your
people
should
be
treated
differently
just
because
you
want
to
have
faster
action,
we're
all
part
of
the
same
process.
C
We
all
take
our
turns.
Okay
and
yeah.
Maybe
we
don't
like
it,
then,
when
our
project
doesn't
rise
to
the
top
first,
but
the
fact
is
is
that
this
is
over
$200,000
because
we're
not
willing
to
take
a
piece
of
money
of
a
pot.
That's
not
ours.
That
actually
doesn't
have
our
name
on.
But
mr.
mayor
that
we
do
have
the
ability
to
work
with
our
community
to
decide
how
to
spend
it.
P
Great
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
first
of
all,
I
think
we're
sensing
a
lot
of
frustration
around
the
table
about
the
fact
it
seems
to
be
this
FTE
battle
again
and
why
we're
introducing
things
while
we're
already
moving
into
another
part
of
the
er
a
this
seems
to
keep
popping
up.
I
mean
we
went
through
this
discussion
before
about
the
number
of
FTEs
and
unsurprising,
AG
report
pops
out,
and
we
have
all
these
other
f2
use
floating
around
and-
and
this
always
seems
to
be
our
struggle
here
so
I'm
just
curious.
P
F
Mr.
mayor,
the
in
the
development
of
the
budget,
we,
the
direction
we
had
from
the
city
manager,
was
that
we
were
not
bad
F,
T's
net
F
T's
to
this
budget,
and
we
did
not
do
that
and
so
therefore,
the
work
that
how
this
came
up
with
the
work
that
came
up,
that
was
on
the
schedule
and
how
this
came
up
was
how
was
this
we're
going
to
get
done
without
FTS,
because
the
current
Park
planners
are
basically
over
overtaxed
in
terms
of
the
work
that
we
have
done.
F
F
Well,
it's
always
a
balance.
Mr.
mayor,
the
the
FTEs
in
part
planning
the
work
comes
and
goals
in
terms
of
peaks
and
valleys,
depending
what's
happening
there
at
a
peak
now,
there's
a
lot
of
projects
that
are
underway
because
we
have
had
a
lot
of
growth
in
the
city,
but
we
specifically
add
a
position
positions
to
this.
A
particularly
anticipation
of
the
cash
in
lieu
know.
F
We
took
it
according
to
how
we've
done
it
in
the
past,
where
we
try
to
squeeze
that
work
in
with
a
current
complement
like
we
do
in
many
other
areas,
we
absorb
the
work
and
we
try
to
get
as
much
work
as
we
do,
and
usually
what
gets
impacted
is
not
that
the
work
doesn't
get
done.
It's
a
timeline
in
which
the
work
gets
done
because
it
gets
pushed
out
on
that
time.
Continuum.
P
And-
and
thank
you
for
that
now
I
guess.
My
message
is
just
a
message:
only
is
from
a
city
council
perspective
where
we're
expected
to
try
to
act
as
managers
and
and
see
how
everything
works
and
to
have
surprises
come
up
like
this
I
think
we
have
to
get
out
of
this
mentality.
I
know,
there's
always
new
challenges
and
maybe
new
positions
required,
but
when
it
comes
to
park,
lands
I
think
we.
We
were
well
aware
that
we
needed
this
position
anyway.
Thank
you.
Mr.
mayor.
I
So
on
yeah
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
well
I
raise
this
at
Planning
Committee
yesterday,
fundamentally
because
the
construction
season
is
so
short
and
we
need
to
make
a
decision,
I
didn't
the
last
thing
I
want
to
do
is
drag
this
out
for
another
month,
because
that
starts
cutting
into
the
potential
for
the
projects
to
be
completed
during
the
summer.
I
We
have
always
funded
Park
planners
and
FTEs
through
the
budget.
It
has
never
been
our
tradition
to
the
best
of
my
knowledge
of
the
City
of
Ottawa
that
we
would
actually
fund
these
positions
by
taking
play
elements
out
of
parks,
and
that
is
what
we're
being
asked
to
do
today
to
actually
take
away
a
water
spray
sprinkler
to
take
away
a
swing,
to
take
away
a
little
a
little
bouncy
things
out
of
the
parks
in
order
to
fund
an
FTE
to
do
the
work.
We
have
never
done
that
before.
I
It
has
always
been
funded
through
FTEs
at
the
city,
and
we
asked
you
to
go
away
and
take
a
look.
If
there
were
other
places
we
could
borrow,
maybe
the
planning,
department
or
other
places.
We
could
borrow
some
planners
to
get
this
work
done
because,
as
mr.
Pinnock
has
correctly
said,
there's
a
lot
of
pressure
on
park
development
because
there's
been
a
lot
of
growth
and
I
do
not
see
this
in
any
way
as
a
competition
between
the
suburbs
in
the
downtown
or
one
part
of
the
city.
I
So
you
know,
equal
treatment
is
not
how
it's
done
necessarily
it's
getting
the
product
at
the
end
and
that
every
children
has
the
the
opportunity
to
play
in
our
parks.
So
I
don't
see
this
as
some
sort
of
a
tug-of-war
between
different
parts
of
the
city.
I
see
this
fundamentally
that
if
we
don't
fund
FTEs
in
the
traditional
way
that
it
actually
just
takes
away
from
children
in
the
parks
and
that's
why
I
think
for
this
year,
I
think
this
should
have
been
done
in
the
budget.
I
Those
extra
staff
so,
instead
of
taking
it
away
from
the
children,
I
actually
think
for
this
year,
because
we
kind
of
missed
the
boat
on
the
budget
that
we
should
probably
accept
what
councillors,
rally
and
hoopla
are
suggesting
and
take
of
contingency.
And
then
we
should
fix
this
going
forward
in
the
budget
for
future
years.
So
that's
my
preference,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
it's
getting
it
getting
a
decision
today.
So
we
can
get
on
with
the
work
is,
is
pretty
fundamental.
Thank
you
all.
T
Mr.
mayor,
thank
you
very
much.
I
too
represent
an
area.
That's
growing
very
rapidly,
and
I
can
tell
you,
there's
great
frustration,
I
think
in
the
community
that
the
Parks
takes
so
much
time
to
be
constructed
and
it's
difficult
for
residents
to
understand
because
we
put
in
the
roads
we
put
in
the
sewers
we
put
in
the
streetlights
we
put
in
all
the
necessary
infrastructure
for
the
homes
and
the
parks
are
dead,
lost,
so
I
think
the
solution
here
is
not
what's
being
proposed.
T
It's
going
back
and
looking
fundamentally
at
how
we
build
parks
in
the
newer
communities
where
there
are
tremendous
growth
pressures.
I
can
tell
you.
Mr.
mayor
I've
got
several
parks
in
a
community
called
family
Creek,
where,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
the
community
would
have
been
happy
with
a
meat-and-potatoes
park
that
had
all
the
fundamental
elements
and
not
one
where
we
were
striving
to
make
every
park
different
and
unique.
So
I
think
there
needs
to
be
a
bit
of
a
culture
change
in
our
Park
planning
branch.
T
To
say
how
are
we
going
to
get
these
parks
could
believe
it
as
quickly
as
possible?
Let's
standardize
some
of
the
park
elements
and
not
have
two
or
three
year
processes
where
the
the
community's
waiting
for
a
park,
so
I
think
and
I've
said
this
to
to
mr.
Moser
and
to
his
people
that
I
think
they
need
to
look
at
how
we
build
parks
and
streamline
it
and
come
up
with
a
way
that
we're
again
not
trying
to
customize
every
Park,
because
when
we
do
that
it
gets
complicated.
T
It
takes
time
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
the
residents
are
quite
contented.
I
can
tell
you
as
a
parent
I'm,
quite
content
when
the
core
essentials,
the
meat
and
potatoes
are
contained
in
the
park.
So
again,
I
won't
be
supporting
this
because
I
think
there's
a
much
broader
group
thinking
and
evaluation
that
needs
to
be
done
within
the
Park
branch
in
terms
of
how
we
meet
the
the
needs
of
our
community.
Thank
you.
Thank.
L
As
you
may
recall,
it
was
me
who
got
this
whole
thing
rolling
and
the
motivation
for
that
was
quite
simply,
the
accumulating
delays
in
getting
work
done
work
that
the
community
had
approved.
We
decided
what
we
wanted
to
do.
Staff
had
agreed,
but
we
couldn't
get
it
through
the
system,
the
contracting,
the
design
for
lack
of
staff
resources
I'm
somewhat
torn
here,
whether
to
go
with
the
motion
that
came
through
from
a
planning
committee
yesterday
or
this
motion
that,
although
defeated,
had
some
support
a
planning
committee.
L
Most
importantly,
I
want
the
message
to
be
heard
as
I
believe
it
is
being
heard
that
our
parks
should
not
come
last,
that
the
resources,
through
the
design
work
to
do
the
spending
of
the
cash
in
lieu
parkland
money,
which
is
not
a
lot
of
money
that
that
can
be
done
in
an
efficient
manner.
So
perhaps
I'm
speaking
right
now
to
say
that
let's
reinforce
that
message.
L
Let's
take
another
look
at
how
we
do
our
parks
planning
and
our
cash
in
lieu
spending
I
in
the
end,
I'm
likely
to
go
with
the
10%
option,
because
I
think
that
can
be
done
quickly
and
that's
really
a
worth.
The
point
we're
at
that
point
now:
I
was
at
a
Community
Association
meeting
last
night,
where
I
had
to
attempt
to
look
upbeat
and
say
with
a
smile
that
the
the
to
park
benches,
the
six
boulders
and
the
garbage
can
that
we
had
approved
last
year
might
go
in
this
spring
or
summer.
L
That's
not
the
sort
of
speed
that
one
can
be
proud
of
and
I
know
we
can
do
better
if
we
have
the
people
to
take
us
through
that
process.
So
I
am
in
the
end,
going
to
support
going
with
the
10%
approach
and
not
councillors.
Rallies
motion,
although
I
certainly
understand
the
motivation
for
it
and
the
objective
of
sending
a
strong
signal.
Thank
you
great.
B
You
mr.
mayor
I
think
councillor
young
put
it
as
clearly
as
could
that
we're
trying
to
cattle,
eight
level
playing
field
here
and
those
who
say
that
we
should
hire
people
to
look
after
the
ones
that
are
from
the
grant
in
lieu
money.
If
that's
the
case,
then
you're
creating
a
greater
disadvantage
for
the
outlying
communities,
where
we
have
to
cut
things
out
of
the
park
development,
because
we
are
paying
a
bit
of
our
dcs
for
staff
instead
of
putting
it
into
the
actual
park,
development
for
which
the
dcs
were
paid
in
the
first
place.
B
So
the
only
really
logical
way
to
go
is
to
say
if
you
are
using
the
money
that
comes
for
parks
to
pay
for
the
planning
of
it
in
the
outlying
communities,
then
we
should
you
with
the
money
that
comes
from
the
parks
in
the
areas
that
have
the
grant
in
lieu
of
parkland
in
the
same
way
and
that's
what
they
request.
The
motion
from
the
Planning
Committee
says
and
I
support
that
motion
I
think
that's
the
way
that
we
should
be
moving
forward.
It
keeps
a
level
playing
field.
B
I
have
no
objection,
however,
to
the
requests
that
we
take
a
look
at
how
we
do
our
part,
planning,
I,
think,
is
something
we
should
do
in
any
case,
but
that's
a
different
situation
that
will
take
longer.
So
this
is
a
way
to
get
moving
now
see
how
it
works,
and
if
things
changes
make
later,
but
whatever
we
do,
we
should
try
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
disadvantage
one
part
of
the
city
over
another
by
our
actions.
Thank
you.
A
F
Through
you,
mr.
mayor,
that
there
wasn't
a
specific
parameter
put
on
of
that
nature
that
it
only
be
for
this
year,
one
of
the
concerns
we
have
is
that
recruiting
and
retaining
Park
planners
is
is
a
challenge
to
start
with,
and
if
our
ability
to
offer
work
is
for
the
spring
in
the
summer,
we
will
have
trouble
finding
people
that
can
take
on
this
work.
So
the
at
a
minimum
I
would
say
that
the
2013
and
2014
getting
us
through
the
term
of
council.
D
Have
a
question
for
you,
mr.
Cheney:
what
we're
talking
about
here
is
that
we
would
like
to
have
the
parks
planned
and
done
as
fast
as
possible
when
the
money
is
available.
Now
we
hear
that
there's
a
list.
How
long
is
that
list?
I'm?
Sorry,
I
was
not
a
committee
meeting
yesterday,
but
I
don't
seem
to
understand
the
problem
here.
You
say
that
the
employees
are
all
dedicated
to
given
parks,
but
what's
the
the
wait
period,
mr.
D
So
it's
a
fairly
long
list
for
this
year
and
in
that
list
of
23
projects
or
the
70,
do
you
take
into
consideration
the
pressures
that
could
come?
For
instance,
from
section
37,
which
was
amended
last
year?
There
could
be
other
pressures.
Does
this
list
take
all
these
elements
into
account?
Yes,
it
does,
although
section
37
is,
is
not
a
source
of
pressure
really,
the
other
pressure
is
the.
D
Grant
program
in
partnership
with
the
community,
the
two
minor
and
major
programs
the
to
generate
at
least
another,
some
twenty
more
projects
that
are
on
the
list.
So
you
talked
about
70
and
23
there
for
the
parts
this
is
for
this
year.
Only
or
is
this
just
a
waiting
list?
It's
the
list
of
projects
submitted
last
year
and
which
was
not
completed.
It
has
been
submitted
since
the
end
of
the
construction
season.
Last
year,
so
they've
been
carried
forward
in
2013.
D
We
received
projects
every
week,
so
we
expect
that
least,
to
continue
to
grow,
while
the
counselors
are
working
with
their
communities
to
develop
projects.
So
you're
saying
that
these
70
projects
are
are
going
to
be
carried
forward
this
year
or
will
they
take
them
over
a
year
to
complete?
This
is
the
list
that
we
have
at
hand
now,
so
it
has
to
be
prioritized
for
the
construction
season
this
year.
D
R
You
your
worship,
just
you
know,
we
have
a
number
of
temporary
positions
that
get
created
at
different
times
through
this
corporation,
and
this
is
one
time
where
council
at
budget
debated
whether
to
do
this.
The
budget
process
referred
this
item
back
to
us
a
committee
yesterday
and
then
to
council
here
today.
R
Secondly,
when
we
talk
about
the
fairness
of
having
development
charges
fund
park
projects
and
that
to
do
to
add
this
motion
into
the
mix
would
somehow
reduce
that
that's
wrong.
We
are
going
to
spend
the
same
amount
of
development
charge
money
on
these
projects,
as
we
would
in
either
case.
The
only
thing
is
it's
going
to
be
going
to
provide
play
equipment,
it's
going
to
provide
improvements
to
the
park.
It's
not
going
to
provide
the
ongoing
staff
person.
R
So
when
you
talk
about
equal
treatment
for
all
parts
of
the
city,
most
most
people
out
most
residents
parse
that
to
mean
that
they
will
receive
equal
service
levels.
They
don't
really
care
how
we
juggle
the
numbers
internally
on
our
books
to
make
that
happen
when
they
want
equal
treatment,
they
want
equal
service
levels.
So
you
know
I
think
that
we
have
a
decision.
Today
we
either
go
with
the
Committee's
recommendation
yesterday,
which
basically
will
leave
things
pretty
much
the
way
they
are.
R
So
if
you
don't
like
the
speed
with
which
we're
dealing
on
these
projects,
you
would
vote
for
the
committee
recommendation.
If
you
want
to
as
a
policy
alternative,
improve
that,
then
you
would
support
this
motion.
I
think
it's
important
that
we
send
that
message.
I
think
we
need,
as
a
council,
to
send
the
message
to
staff
into
the
community
that
we're
ready
to
make
a
change
to
make
that
happen
as
small
a
change
as
it
is.
You
know
it's
not.
R
This
is
not
the
magnitude
of
change
you
would
see
in
in
past
councils,
where
you
have
millions
of
millions
of
dollars
changing
through
the
budget
process.
This
is
in
comparison
to
a
multi-billion
dollar
budget,
a
relatively
small
amount
of
money,
but
it
achieves
something-
and
you
know
at
budget
time.
If
we
had
dealt
with
this
at
budget
time
instead
of
referring,
then
presumably
we
would
have
a
contingency
fund
that
would
be
250
thousand
dollars
less,
because
we
would
have
paid
it
out
of
the
budget.
R
E
Hope
you
won't
support
it
for
a
couple
of
reasons.
First
of
all,
I've
certainly
heard
from
members
of
council
and
the
public
that
there's
a
need
to
improve
the
process
of
getting
parks
up
and
running
and
I
will
undertake
personally
in
the
preparation
of
the
2014
budget,
to
ensure
that
we
have
adequate
resources
to
get
the
job
done.
E
Secondly,
and
I
think
councillor
to
rush
raise
this
in
terms
of
the
sometimes
extravagance
that
that
goes
with
Park
planning
I
think
we
have
to
bring
it
down
to
a
simpler
process
and
it's
not
a
criticism
of
staff
because,
quite
frankly,
councillors
go
out
to
the
community
and
the
community
has
a
great
wish
list.
They
want
this.
They
want
that.
That
prolongs
the
process.
It
puts
the
price
up
and
it
becomes
cost
prohibitive,
and
then
it
keeps
on
the
list.
E
So
I
think
we
can
work
with
staff
through
both
the
planning
chair
or
the
chair
of
community
Protective
Services,
because
it's
a
joint
responsibility
but
I
would
urge
members
of
council
not
to
support
councillor
Ellie's
motion,
because
the
easy
thing
to
do
is
to
always
go
to
the
citywide
contingency.
Well,
the
contingency
should
be
reserved
for
more
urgent
one-time
issues
and
not
this
kind
of
a
an
expense,
so
I
would
I
support
what
councillor
Hume
said.
E
I
think
he
outlined
the
case
very
clearly
that
you
know
we're
all
gonna
have
an
obligation
in
a
park
in
our
community
to
ensure
that
some
of
the
funds
go
from
the
your
funds
into
that
park.
That
will
stay
in
your
community
and
also
that
we
have
to
speed
up
the
overall
process,
so
we're
gonna.
Take
this
very
seriously.
I've
heard
the
frustration
the
members
of
council
have
and
I
certainly
will
give
you
my
assurance
that
during
the
budget
process,
you
will
see
a
positive
change.

I
think
that's
important
if
you're
going
to
dissent
on
something
you
can't
whisper
it
to
the
clerk,
you've
got
to
say
it
at
your
table
or
it
doesn't
get
recorded.
So
thank
you
for
that.
That's
a
good
point:

clerk

The

Their
past
practice
for
such
a
cost

can
be
established
if
there's
any
sufficient
funding
within
the
budget.
To
do
so

On
this,
the

informed
me
that

of
this
and
we
wish
him
continuous,
speedy
recovery

and
I
thank
councilors

and
blow
us
for
their
their
stepping
up
to
the
plates
on
the

carried.
Thank
you,
