No

Most

Our

H
I
A
Thank
you
and
then
in
their
motions
for
this
section
section,
two:
okay,
so
we
have
the
motion
by
myself.
Accounts
are
harder
with
respect
to
councillor
bleh
carried
the
leaf
from
a
Kenny
motion.
I
would
urge
members
not
to
support
this
I
think
what
we've
tried
to
do
is
find
a
balance
at
the
committee's
and
if
we
start
cherry-picking
one
section.
Obviously
it's
not
going
to
be
particularly
helpful,
so
I'll
call
yeas
and
nays
on
the
leaper
McKenney
motion.
A
L
L
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Very
much.
I
did
want
to
take
the
opportunity,
of
course,
to
congratulate
all
of
the
new
chairs
and
and
folks
who
are
being
recommended
here
to
to
council.
It's
it's
a
big
job
and
I.
Think
that
taking
it
on
is
is
quite
commendable,
so
I
do
want
to
start
by
by
offering
offering
that.
L
However,
it
the
the
taken
collectively,
you
know
the
appointments
to
the
standing
committees,
Transit
Commission,
subcommittees
and
and
how
that
will
manifest
itself
as
the
Finance
and
Economic
Development
Committee
is,
you
know,
I
do
take
issue
with
it.
It
does
not
represent
in
any
way
the
diversity
of
the
city
is
certainly
you
know.
We've
got
only
three
women
on
on
the
committee
and
we've
got
only
three
counselors
within
the
Greenbelt
and
actually
no
counselors
from
urban
downtown
wards.
The
the
five
downtown
wards-
and
we
know
that
you
know
we
can
all
show
up
at
fedko.
L
It
doesn't
ensure
that
everyone's
needs
are
being
considered.
It
doesn't
mean
that
you
know
we
are
building
the
type
of
affordable,
sustainable,
healthy
City
that
we
need
for
everyone.
The
downtown
you
know
is
in
any
city.
Not
just
in
Ottawa
is
the
heart
of
the
city,
and
you
need
to
have
a
healthy
downtown.
L
Very
you
know
major
and
impactful
decisions
and
and
projects
moving
forward.
So
you
know
I
always
vote
with
my
conscience.
I
always
try
to
consider
what
I'm
doing
for
the
residents
who
elected
me
I.
Take
that
very
seriously
and
there's
no
way
that
I
could
defend
not
having
you
know
more
than
three
councillors
inside
the
Greenbelt
three
inside
the
whole
green
Bell,
not
one,
not
one
voice
from
Rita
rock
cliff,
not
one
voice
from
Rita
Vanier,
not
one
voice
from
Somerset,
Ward,
kitchen,
sippy
or
Capitol
ward.
L
So
it's
you
know
and
I
just
think
that
without
the
the
voices
from
across
the
city,
we
are
not
doing
the
best
that
we
can.
This
is
again
it's
about.
It's
you
know
it's
we
need
to.
We
need
to
ensure
that
that
that
all
parts
of
the
the
city
are
represented,
I,
hope
and
I
trust
that
I
would
do
the
same
thing
if
there
wasn't
one
rural
voice
on
this
committee
and
I
hope
and
trust
that
I
would
do
the
same
thing.
If
there
wasn't
one
east-end
voice
on
this
committee,
so
I
would
you
know.
L
I
would
like
to
see
this
go
back
to
nominating
committee
I
like
to
see
more
thought
being
put
into
who's
sitting
on
all
of
the
committees
and
who's
represented
at
at
fedko,
so
that
we
are
serious
about
the
type
of
city
that
we
want
to
live
in
and
that
we
want
to
leave
behind
and
that
we
want
to
make
an
affordable,
equitable,
healthy,
sustainable
city
for
everyone.
Thank
you.
Thank.
I
Thank
You
mayor
with
respect
to
adding
counselors,
Menard
and
Brockington
to
the
planning
committee.
It's
critical
that
we
have
those
urban
voices
and
not
just
mine
on
Planning
Committee,
the
the
the
volume
of
applications
that
are
reshaping
our
downtown
year
by
year.
Right
now
is
is
extraordinary,
and
we
need
to
have
counselors
on
that
planning
committee
beside
myself,
who
understand
the
tensions
that
that
creates,
as
we
try
to
create
a
sustainable
City
and
in
its
current
makeup
I.
I
Don't
see
that
that
balance
is
there
I
believe
that
by
adding
councilors
brockington
emma
nard,
we
can
only
improve
the
quality
of
work
that
planning
committee
does
and
without
necessarily
increasing
any
amount
of
discord.
I
think
it's!
It's
only
positive
to
have
more
voices
at
that
table
with
respect
to
the
overall
report.
Mr.
mayor,
it
is
difficult
to
see
how
I
can
support
this
when
it's
most
powerful
committee.
I
I
These
are
these
are
critical
to
the
functioning
of
our
city,
to
the
city
that
we
want
to
be,
and
it's
critical
that
the
aspirations
and
the
hopes
of
residents
in
our
in
our
rural
and
suburban
and
urban
areas
are
well
represented
on
it,
not
to
mention
greater
gender
diversity
as
well.
We
have
just
three
women
on
fedko,
and
that
is
that
is
not
acceptable
in
this
day
and
age.
I
believe,
mr.
I
H
You
I
thank
you.
Mr.
mayor
and
I
was
gonna
speak
about
this
item,
but
I
I
felt
the
need
to
talk
about
this.
The
amalgamations
been
on
for
18
years,
almost
19
now,
and
we're
still
talking
about
the
makeup
of
the
city.
I
think
we
all
know
we
all
elected
to
City
Council
to
represent
our
community,
so
I
find
it.
Ironically,
we
hear
it
after
19
years,
which
we
should
still
think
about:
rural,
suburban
and
urban.
We
are
elected
to
serve
our
resident
in
the
city
of
ro
and
I
hope.
M
Also
Millar's
thanks
very
much
mr.
mayor,
a
quick
question
on
councillor
leapers
motion
and
just
want
to
clarify
this.
This
motions,
not
removing
anybody
from
the
committee
that's
already
been
appointed
to
that
committee-
is
that
correct
and
just
a
question
to
staff.
Does
this
motion
fit
within
the
current
parameters
in
terms
of
the
number
of
people
that
are
allowed
on
this
committee?
Would
that
would
it
fit
within
that
that
range?
Yes,.
M
So
I
guess
I
would
just
say
to
my
honorable
colleagues
around
the
table.
I
put
this
as
my
number
one
choice
and
I'm
not
here
to
to
advocate
for
myself
I'm
here
to
advocate
on
behalf
of
residents
in
my
community,
who
are
dealing
with
infill
issues
on
a
regular
basis,
we're
one
of
the
most
popular
wards
for
those
sorts
of
issues,
and
so
I
would
urge
you
to
you're
not
taking
anybody
off
this
committee.
All
you're
doing
is
adding
a
voice
who
deals
with
these
issues
in
his
area.
M
N
Cute
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
and
let
me
join
others
and
congratulating
all
colleagues
on
on
their
on
their
appointments.
I
think
there's
no
question
that
all
colleagues
around
this
table
are
capable
of
undertaking
the
important
work
in
front
of
us
and
I
have
full
confidence
that
councillors
will
take
into
account
both
their
Ward
and
the
broader
city
responsibilities.
N
That
being
said,
we
do
have
in
our
system
a
ward
base,
councillor
system,
we
don't
have
counselors
at
large
and
I.
Think
part
of
the
rationale,
for
that
is
an
assumption
that
ward
councillors,
while
absolutely
representing
the
broader
interests
of
our
city,
can
also
bring
a
particular
lens
from
their
part
of
that
city.
So
they
can
offer
ideas,
suggestions,
thoughts,
feedbacks
on
how
city
business
reflects
and
impacts
on
their
residents,
and
so
two
councillor
leapers
motion
and
having
sat
on
planning
committee.
N
N
Democracy
ruled
at
the
end
of
the
day,
but
it
was
important
to
have
those
voices
around
that
table
and
similarly,
so,
if
you
look
at
councillor
leapers
motion,
you
know
the
idea
of
adding
two
of
our
colleagues
who
specifically
requested
to
be
on
Planning
Committee
as
their
number
one
choice.
I
think
the
least
we
can
do
is
honor
that,
without
disrupting
the
flow
and
the
work
of
that
committee,
there
are
going
to
be
really
important
files
taking
place
there.
N
This
term
of
council,
the
renewal
of
the
Official
Plan,
obviously
is
going
to
be
a
critical
piece.
I
think
we
would
only
benefit
by
having
those
additional
voices
on
that
committee
again.
I
think
some
of
what
my
colleagues
have
said
already
about
general
represent
a
is
true
I,
don't
I
haven't
heard
anyone
at
this
stage
suggest
taking
anyone
off
a
committee.
It
really
is
trying
to
find
balance
within
a
committee.
That
is
an
important
workhorse
of
council.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
Cal
says
anyone
else
was
to
speak
to
the
motion
of
the
item,
so
I'll
just
offer
a
comment.
I
think
it's
important
to
remember
that
every
single
committee
warmly
welcomes
members
of
council
who
are
not
on
that
committee
that
standard
fair
everyone.
You
know
if
you
have
an
item,
that's
at
Planning
Committee
or
at
fedko
or
CPS
and
you're
not
on
that
committee.
A
Chances
are
that
you
will
show
up
and
give
your
point
of
view
and
there's
no
hierarchy
that
you
know
the
committee
members
get
to
speak
first
and
you're
left
at
the
sidelines
and
then.
Secondly,
you
know
virtually
every
decision,
with
some
exceptions
actually
rises
to
Council,
where
we
make
the
final
decision.
So
I
would
urge
members
to
vote
against
the
leaper
McKenney
motion
and
yeas
and
nays
have
been
called.
F
P
F
F
H
F
A
These
are
the
same
people
that
you're
descending
on
the
whole
report:
item:
2,
ok,
so
the
same
people
that
vote
it
will
be
listed
as
dissenting
item
number
three
is

Does
anyone
have
any
questions
or

A

Is
anyone
have
a

all
Nami
National
Committee
to

counselor
Moffitt
has
a
motion
saying
by
counselor
L
shan't
Erie
with
respect
to
the
planning
advisory
committee,
counselor
Moffitt.
If
you'd
like
to
introduce
this,
please.
P
Thank
you,
I
won't
go
into
the
whole
thing.
It's
just
plainly.
The
the
plan
Advisory
Committee
was
struck
last
term
toward
the
end
of
last
term.
The
counselor
harder
counselor
Nussbaum
myself
sitting
as
the
representatives,
the
callused
representatives
we
helped
appoint.
The
members
is
something
I'm
interested
in
and
something
I'd
like
to
move
forward
with.
I
spoke
with
councilor
L
shan't
Erie,
who
was
been
named
as
chair
of
at
Coast
Rural
Affairs
Committee,
who
would,
by
virtue
of
our
governance,
sit
on
that.
P
We've
agreed
that
he
would
be
alright
with
me
carrying
on
on
the
planning
committee
and
the
planning
of
Iser
committee
as
a
representative
for
Eric.
So
this
motion
sets
that
forward.
So
it
says,
therefore
be
it
resolved
with
3/4
members
of
three-quarters
of
members
present
and
voting
approve
the
appointment
of
councillor
Scott
Moffat
to
the
planning
of
idrija
committee.
As
the
representative
Eric,
it's
a
very
controversial
issue
likely
it
is
I.
Imagine
a
lot
of
people
are
scrapping
to
be
on
the
planet
husband.
Anyone
have.
A
A
A
So
we
have
presentations
of
staff
and
I.
Have
some
opening
comments?
Budgets
have
and
will
continue
to
be,
about
setting
priorities
for
our
city
and
being
prepared
for
what
is
to
come.
I'm
proud
to
have
delivered
on
our
commitment
to
taxpayers
over
the
last
two
terms.
Presenting
budgets
with
tax
increases,
limited
to
two
point:
five
percent
or
lasts
for
eight
years
in
a
row
just
be
free
analogue
respect,
Amy
I'm,
very.
A
Residents
and
that's
why
I
put
forward
a
tax
target
of
between
two
and
three
percent
in
the
last
missable
election.
Keeping
your
taxes,
low
and
the
city
affordable
has
been
my
number
one
priority
over
the
past
two
mandates,
but
there
can
at
times
be
some
uncertainty
on
both
ends
of
that
equation
and
that's
part
of
the
challenges
currently
facing
our
city
and,
quite
frankly,
cities
across
the
province
until
the
new
Prada
provincial.
A
Until
the
new
provincial
government
introduces
its
first
budget
in
2019,
there
is
uncertainty
as
to
how
their
fiscal
decisions
will
affect
the
municipal
budget.
Also,
the
city
expects
to
find
out
in
2019
how
the
province
and
the
federal
government
will
fund
infrastructure
programs
in
the
future
and
much
funding.
We
were
received
to
cover
the
costs
of
implementation
and
enforcement
of
legal
lies
in
cannabis.
A
We
must
acknowledge
these
pressures
and
approach
the
2019
budget
as
one
of
transition,
but
this
flexibility
also
presents
the
opportunity
to
do
more
to
address
a
priority
I've
heard
across
the
city
and
I'm
sure
many
of
you
have
as
well
in
your
own
wards,
so
made
my
way
to
more
than
ten
thousand
doors
to
hear
from
residents
over
the
last
year.
The
condition
of
our
roads
has
come
up
as
a
priority
in
many
communities
that
condition
the
know
who
they
denote.
The.
A
Ninety
freeze-thaw
cycles
we
experienced
over
the
last
two
winters
and
we
can't
deny
the
impact
it's
had
on
the
condition
of
our
roads,
pathways
and
sidewalks.
This
is
why
I'm
proposing
a
tax
goal
for
2019
that
will
help
us
invest
in
additional
9.8
million
dollars
towards
infrastructure,
renewal
projects,
including
roads,
sidewalks,
pass
culverts
and
bridges
in
all
parts
of
the
city.
On
top
of
our
our
base,
funding
I've
heard
from
residents
and
I
believe
they're
prepared
to
contribute
that
little
bit
more
in
order
to
have
better
infrastructure
in
their
own
communities.
A
Point
five
percent,
a
difference
that
represents
an
additional
$4
on
the
average
property
tax
bill.
This
1%
transit
levy
increase
is
proposed
to
make
up
for
the
suggested
six-month
freeze
on
transit
fares,
which
council
supported
which
we
are
offering
to
transit
riders.
While
we
work
towards
the
launch
of
the
Confederation
line
of
LRT
next
year,
it
will
also
allow
OC
Transpo
to
enhance
bus
services
for
users
where
warranted
and
we've
heard
from
many
communities,
not
just
growth
communities,
but
many
communities
about
the
challenges
of
OC
Transpo
in
their
neighborhoods.
A
As
you
know,
fares
and
the
transit
levy
are
the
only
two
sources
of
revenue
over
which
council
has
control
to
fund
the
operation
of
OC
Transpo.
Finally,
in
another
hyper
area,
the
budget
that
we're
proposing
to
Council
will
include
for
the
Ottawa
police,
a
three
percent
base:
funding
increase,
plus
1.5
percent
of
assessment
growth
funding,
in
addition
to
guns
and
gangs,
funding
for
the
provincial
and
federal
governments.
A
As
a
reminder
from
2014
to
2018
property
tax
payers
provided
o-p-s
with
a
average
annual
increase
of
three
point:
two
nine
percent,
above
the
rate
of
inflation,
to
support
the
important
work
of
our
men
and
women
in
uniform.
That
amounts
to
more
than
13
percent
over
four
years.
This
is
in
addition
to
the
four
year
increase
of
19.8%.
The
taxpayers
provide
to
the
Ottawa
Police
Service
from
10
2010
to
2014
again
well
above
the
rate
of
inflation,
and
this
doesn't
include
the
millions
we
anticipated
in
the
months
ahead.
A
The
Premier
Ford
spoke
to
me
about
on
Monday,
since
Toronto
is
receiving
25
million
dollars
for
their
guns
and
gangs
challenges.
Our
share
would
be
in
the
range
of
8
to
9
million
dollars,
which
represents
an
additional
3%
increase
to
the
o-p-s
budget.
So
add
it
all
up
for
the
police,
they'll
get
the
3%
they'll
get
1.5
an
assessment.
A
So
these
investments,
as
I
mentioned,
will
lead
to
the
largest
increase
ever
to
the
police
budget
in
the
city's
history,
and
this
is
warranted
because
of
all
of
the
challenges
that
we
and
many
other
cities
that
big
cities
are
facing
when
it
comes
to
violence
involving
guns
and
gangs.
Now
that
said,
rest
assured
that
we'll
continue
challenging
city
staff,
as
I
know,
you
will
to
sharpen
their
pencils
at
every
turn.
A
Our
goal
will
continue
to
be
to
bring
in
a
budget
with
the
lowest
possible
tax
increase
for
residents
year
after
year,
but
at
the
same
time
providing
the
basic
and
good
services
that
we
do
provide
to.
Our
families,
just
like
families
across
Ottawa,
have
to
tighten
their
belt
I'm
sure
this,
the
the
the
public
respects
the
city
to
do
the
same.
A
Investments
a
priority
for
this
term
of
council,
so
we
can
improve
our
community's
transportation
network
for
the
benefit
of
all
residents.
I'll
hope
you
join
me
in
supporting
the
3%
tax
goal
for
2019
and
enabling
these
critical
infrastructure,
transit
and
police
services.
Now
we
have
a
presentation
by:
is
it
the
treasurer?
The
deputy,
treasurer
and
I
think
it'll
be
up
on
the
screen
so
over
to
you.
Please
you'll
see.
Q
Got
it
okay?
Thank
you.
Thank
You,
mr.
mayor
on
December
5th
2018
Council
approved
a
term
of
Council
budget
process
as
part
of
the
2018
2020
to
council
governance
review.
That
report
directed
the
city
treasurer
to
bring
forward
a
report
that
details
the
budget
timetable
and
provides
budget
directions
in
advance
of
each
yearly
budget.
While
the
budget
process
is
routinely
delayed
in
election
year,
the
deadline
for
the
issuance
of
final
tax
bills
remains
the
same,
requiring
a
final
budget
to
be
adopted
by
March.
Q
H
Q
Tax
and
rate
target
increases
were
not
developed
in
a
vacuum.
The
financial
impact
of
several
economic
policy,
legal
and
regulatory
factors
were
taken
into
consideration.
In
fact,
we
now
see
the
pooja
effect
on
economic,
but
it's
exotic
curriculum,
Authority,
Piarco
regulation
changes
such
as
the
phasing
end
of
the
Canada
Pension
Plan
benefits,
enhancement
that
will
increase
employer
and
employee
contributions,
starting
in
2019
economic
forecasts
are
also
considered.
For
example,
this
year
the
construction
price
index
has
increased
significantly
to
26.2
percent.
This
inflation
estimate
is
used
to
determine
the
increase
to
the
contribution
to
capital.
Q
The
long
range
financial
plans
for
transit,
tax
and
rate
identified,
the
funding
requirements,
reserve
balances
and
debt
levels
required
to
maintain
assets
in
good
repair
over
a
10-year
period
and
in
the
case
of
transit
for
the
next
30
years.
The
fiscal
framework
helps
to
guide
the
budget
directions
and
set
policies
and
targets
for
key
budget
items
such
as
cost
recovery,
targets
for
fees
and
debt
levels,
news
avant-garde
map,
and
you
called
these
Agnetha.
We
also
took
into
consideration
the
increase.
Q
To
the
upcoming
provincial
budget
on
municipalities,
therefore,
it
is
recommended
that
2019
be
considered
transition
budget
and
the
directions
in
the
report
would
only
apply
to
2019.
Once
the
provincial
budget
impacts
are
known,
they
can
be
factored
into
the
2020
budget
directions
for
the
remainder
of
the
term.
Q
The
2019
budget
directions
also
take
into
consideration
motions
from
previous
councils
that
would
have
a
financial
impact,
such
as
the
motion
to
reduce
the
time
to
adjust
the
infrastructure
gap
and
the
motion
to
recommend
a
funding
source
for
new
crossing
guards
in
the
first
quarter
of
2019
until
the
budget
is
approved,
the
recommended
three
percent
tax
target
is
based
on
the
analysis
of
the
economic
and
policy
factors
described
on
the
previous
slide.
Furthermore,
each
department
reviewed
the
key
operating
and
capital
requirements
to
maintain
services.
Q
Looking
for
opportunities
for
operational
efficiencies,
impacts
of
growth,
on
operations,
changes
in
regulation
and
any
other
operational
service
changes,
labor
contract
settlements
were
included
in
the
overall
call,
our
overall
cost
pressures
and
the
overall
compensation
increases
average.
Two
percent
actuarial
estimates
of
the
cost
of
benefits
were
provided
by
external
experts
and
the
average
increase
for
benefits
is
six
percent
from
a
budget
perspective.

Q
There
is
an
estimated
2.4
million
dollar
pressure
for
the
cpp
benefit
enhancement
starting
in
2019.
The
recommended
three
percent
tax
target
also
includes
an
allocation
of
9.8
million
dollars
towards
the
reducing
that
annual
infrastructure
funding
shortfall
and
eliminate
the
infrastructure
gap
within
the
next
five
years
without
increasing
debt.
This
tax
target
also
considers
continuing
investment
in
long-term
care,
additional
FTEs
to
maintain
service
levels
such
as
paramedics,
the
cost
of
maintaining
new
infrastructure
and
inflation
on
contracts
and
purchase
materials
and
services.
Q
The
transit
long-range
financial
plan
recommended
that
transit
taxes
and
transit
fares
increase
at
the
same
rate
as
transit
operational
costs.
The
estimated
tax
increase
in
the
long-range
financial
plan
is
2.5
percent.
However,
there
are
additional
costs
and
risk
to
consider
in
2019,
since
this
is
a
transition
year
for
transit
services
with
the
launch
of
the
Confederation
Line
cost
pressures
include
labor
contract
settlements,
inflation
on
contracts
and
purchase,
materials
and
services
increases
in
fuel
prices
and
a
continued
investment
in
transit
and
expansion
of
services.
Q
Since
the
2019
budget
will
only
be
approved
in
March
and
time
is
required
to
update
fare
tables
and
communications
materials,
the
recommendation
is
to
increase
transit
fares
in
July.
The
recommendation
is
to
set
the
fare
increase
at
2.5%
in
accordance
with
the
transit
long-range
financial
plan.
This
will
mean
no
fare,
increases
in
the
first
six
months
of
2019
and
does
add
in
an
additional
budget
pressure
that
can
be
accommodated
within
the
proposed
3.5%
transit
tax
increase.
Q
Based
on
preliminary
impact
information
staff
estimate
that
assessment
growth
will
be
approximately
1.5
percent.
Final
analysis
of
the
impact
data
will
be
completed
in
time
to
include
a
final
forecast
assessment.
Growth

in
the
draft
budget
tabled
in
February
for
the
budget
process
approved
by

the

governed
by
a
board
or
Commission

be
allocated
their
individual
prorated
share
of
the
1.5

assessment
growth.

Q
There
is
a
recommendation
that
user
fees
increase
in
accordance
with
the
directions
outlined
in
the
fiscal
framework
or
the
long-range
financial
plans.
The
fiscal
framework
provides
direction
and
targets
for
setting
user
fees,
services
that
do
not
benefit
the
community
as
a
whole,
where
an
individual
chooses
to
use
the
service
should
be
charged
on
a
cost
recovery
basis,
thereby
reducing
the
property
tax
requirement.
User
fees
should
be
set
with
this
direction
in
mind.
Q
The
2019
draft
budget
will
be
developed
in
accordance
with
the
2017
long-range
financial
plan
for
water,
wastewater
and
stormwater.
The
L
RFP
reflects
the
financial
strategies
and
revenue
increases
required
each
year.
It's
maintain
and
operate
this
capital
intensive
service.
The
recommended
increases
for
water
revenues
is
4%
wastewater
5%
in
stormwater
13%.
Q
These
revenue
increases
must
take
into
consideration
not
only
the
fixed
and
variable
rates
charged,
but
also
the
forecast
water
consumption
and
overall
client
base
growth
estimates.
The
draft
budget
will
include
proposed
rate
increases
for
both
the
old
rate
structure
and
the
new
rate
structure
to
support
the
transition
from
the
old
system
to
the
new
system
in
2019.
Q
So
this
slide
summarizes
the
total
allocation
of
the
tax
and
assessment
growth
funding.
It
does
not
include
fees
and
other
revenues
if
approved
an
assessment
growth
of
1.5
percent,
combined
with
the
3
percent
tax
increase
and
a
3.5
percent
increase
in
transit
taxes
will
generate
an
additional
seventy-three
point:
three:
six
million
in
tax
revenues
after
allocating
a
proportionate
share
to
police,
public
health,
library,
transit
and
the
office
of
the
Auditor
General.
The
remaining
balance
of
forty
four
point:
five:
six:
five
million
is
available
to
fund
all
other
tax
supported
services.
Q
The
capital
budget
will
be
developed
in
accordance
with
the
council,
approved
transportation,
master
plan,
infrastructure,
master
plan,
2014
and
2017
development
charges,
background
study
and
the
long-range
financial
plan.
The
city
funds,
its
capital
program
through
a
combination
of
cash
reserves,
development
charges
on
growth,
projects,
debt
and
grants
from
senior
levels
of
government.
Q
Today,
you
were
receiving
the
budget
directions
report,
if
approved
it
will
help
set
the
envelope
for
the
draft
operating
and
capital
budget
to
be
tabled
at
Council
on
February
6th
between
now
and
February,
public
consultations
will
take
place
and
on
the
next
slide,
I
will
provide
you
with
a
list
of
resources
available
to
support
this

Meetings
will
also
be
scheduled
by
the

to
discuss
budget
priorities
specific
to
their

once
the
draft

is
tabled
in
February,
each
committee,
advisory
committee,
Commission
and
board
will
hold
meetings
to
consider
the
2019
draft
budget
and
receive
public

The
final
budget
and
any
proposed

So
I
have
two
motions
on
item
number
6.
Does
anyone
else
have
a
motion?
I
have
councillor
Brockington
and
lay
and
councillor
Menard
and
Cavanaugh
with
two
motions.
A
Anyone
else
have
a
motion,
nope,
so
I
think
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
go
and
ask
the
people
who
are
moving
motions
to
get
them
on
the
floor,
so
everyone
can
see
them
on
the
screen.
So
councillor
brockington,
saying
about
councillor
Blay,
if
you
could
introduce
your
motion
councillor
I
think
this
is
a
a
good
idea.
Thank.
J
You,
your
worship
and
good
morning,
everyone
night,
I,
think
this
is
technical
in
nature,
but
certainly
open
to
debate
and
discussion
simply
item
two
on
this
recommendation.
With
respect
to
the
transit
levy.
The
motion
just
proposes
to
strike
the
last
words
quote,
which
will
provide
additional
service
in
growth
areas.
J
Yes,
growth
areas
need
additional
service
and
the
transit
levy
will
go
towards
that
as
well,
but
by
clarifying
the
language
and
item
two,
it
really
needs
to
go
to
as
much
high
demands
as
possible
and
we
just
leave
that
to
the
discretion
of
staff.
So
this
does
not
take
away
money
from
the
growth
areas.
This
just
gives
staff
more
flexibility
and
how
they
can
address
that
additional
levy.
A
M
I
don't
serve,
you
could
I
speak
with.
I
did
speak
with
staff
and
it
seems
they
have
agree.
We've
got
agreement
on
a
direction
instead
of
a
formal
motion,
so
I
could
withdraw
this
and
instead
have
direction
to
staff.
On
the
final
grade,
you
have
to
write
out
the
directions.
Oh
yeah,
it's
the
same
as
the
final
two
points
on
the
motion.
That's
that's
written
there.
Okay.
A
Well,
I'll
have
to
ask
staff
for
their
opinion
on
that.
Okay,
anyone
else
have
a
motion
that
we
can
let
everyone
know
about,
and
we
put
on
your
screens.
Let's
get
these
Oakland
Pilsen
given
motion
for
us
at
a
pole
in
the
middle
sis,
nope,
okay,
so
speaking
on
both
well
we're
right.
Now
we
have
just
one
motion
and
the
item,
which
is
on
page
15
item
6
counselor
Leifer
has
the
floor.
Thank
You
mayor.
I
I
Business
people
want
to
live
in
cities,
they
want
to
work
in
cities
that
are
sustainable,
that
address
the
safety
of
the
community
that
are
vibrant,
that
are
addressing
climate
change
and
in
order
to
do
all
those
things
we
need
to
invest
as
a
city
we
need
to
make
in
order
to
have
a
safe
city
for
everyone.
We
need
to
invest
in
housing.
We
need
to
invest
in
programs
that
address
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
community.
I
We
need
to
invest
in
in
transit
that
is
affordable
and
reliable
and
a
great
option
for
those
who
want
an
option
to
the
an
alternative
to
the
car.
We
need
to
make
real
investments
in
the
arts
and
culture
in
order
to
ensure
that
you
know,
companies
have
a
great
city
into
which
to
attract
the
best
talent
in
the
world
and
for
all
of
those
investments.
It
can't
just
be
a
bare
minimum.
It
can't
just
be
a
sprinkling
of
funding
to
say
that
we
are
addressing
it.
I
We
need
to
make
real
investments
in
each
of
those
areas.
I,
don't
believe
that
a
budget
that
sees
an
increase
in
the
levy
of
3%
plus
growth
at
1.5,
leaving
us
around
forty
four
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
order
to
be
able
to
deal
with
all
the
various
different
increased
costs
that
come
with
growth
in
the
city
is
going
to
allow
us
to
do
that.
We-
and
you
know
it's
important-
we
make
no
mistake.
I
We
are
either
gonna,
make
those
investments
now
and
in
a
way
that
sees
a
real
commitment
to
them
or
we
don't
do
it
and
we
have
to
do
it
later
or
we
face
the
consequences
as
we're
seeing
with
the
underfunding
of
our
infrastructure
for
so
many
years.
The
the
increases
that
we
have
to
make
will
hurt
more
later
than
if
we're
dealing
with
all
these
things
that
we
need
to
invest
in
in
a
sensible
way
in
in
a
not
arbitrary
way
through
every
single
year
of
the
term
of
council.
I
In
the
last
term
of
council,
I,
remember
I
was
sitting
here
four
years
ago
and
we
were
at
some
pains
with
the
clerk
to
ensure
that
we
understood
the
budget
process.
Well,
we
were
at
great
pains
to
ensure
that,
by
approving
the
budget
directions
report
that
we
weren't
approving
a
cap
on
ourselves
that
we
weren't
saying
city
council
has
a
hard
cap
on
it
of
2%,
and
yet
those
of
us
who
were
looking
for
some
sensible
investments
that
went
above
the
2%
in
the
last
term
of
council
were
told
that
you
agreed
to
a
cap.
I
We
were
told
that
we
were
going
somehow
against
our
word
that
we
had
to
agree
to
a
2%
cap
and
make
no
mistake
if
we
passed
the
budget
direction
today
with
3%
and
we
choose
to
do
a
tax
increase.
That
is
something
different.
We
will
be
told
again
that
we've
gone
back
on
our
word.
I
absolutely
believe
that,
no
matter
what
the
process
looks
like,
if
we
as
a
council
choose
to
do
something
other
than
a
3%
tax
increase,
will
be
told
that
we're
going
back
on
our
promise.
I
I
made
no
promise
in
the
most
recent
election
about
what
the
increase
in
taxes
would
be.
My
promise
to
residents
was
that
I
was
going
to
take
a
look
every
year
at
what
kinds
of
investments
that
we
need
to
make
in
order
to
build
the
city
that
residents
aspire
to.
What
kinds
of
investments
do
we
need
to
make
every
year
in
order
to
try
to
build
the
city
that
we
told
Amazon
we
are
mr.
mayor
I
would
ask
that
you
have
a
separate
yeas
and
nays
votes
for
item
number.
I
One
I
cannot
support
a
tax
cap
at
number
three,
because
I
know
how
that's
going
to
be
present
a
tax
cap
at
3%,
because
I
know
how
that's
going
to
be
presented
back
at
us
if
we
choose
to
make
meaningful
investments
in
the
areas
that
we
need
to
in
order
to
build
a
sustainable,
safe,
caring,
a
vibrant
city,
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
so.
I
I
Mr.
mayor
I
think
you've
had
the
opportunity
to
go
door-to-door
right
across
the
city
and
hear
the
the
budget
that
people
want
rather
than
committing
to
a
cap.
I
think
the
best
process
would
be
to
see.
We
know
that
you
and
the
city
manager
create
the
budget
every
year,
I'd
like
to
see
a
budget
put
in
front
of
us.
I
It
doesn't
adhere
to
an
arbitrary
cap,
but
that
recommends
the
investments
necessary
in
your
view
and
in
senior
city
staff
view
in
order
to
create
the
kind
of
city
we
want,
so
I
will
not
be
supporting
a
direction
that
has
a
number
associated
with
it.
I
will
be.
I
would
much
prefer
that
we
see
your
recommended
budget
that
doesn't
contain
that
arbitrary
number.
Okay.
R
R
Well,
last
year,
I
didn't
join
with
colleagues
at
the
nepean
sportsplex,
for
example,
I
did
it
online
and
no
counselor?
Who
please
done
that
in
the
past
as
well,
and
then
I
do
a
few
different
things.
Also
I
was
just
wondering
if
we
could
have
one
tailor-made
for
businesses,
so
we
have
a
very
large
number
of
BIA
s
in
the
city.
I
think
that
there
would
be
really
relevant
to
be
able
to
go
in
with
them
and
say
this
is
how
it
pertains
to
business.
Is
that
possible?
Yes,
we
could
do
that.
R
Okay
and
on
the
issue
of
the
amendment
that's
recommended
by
councilor
Brockington
mr.
Mahoney
every
year
that
I
can
remember
for
the
last
I
didn't
even
know
how
many
years
you
have
said
to
me.
Counselor
I
can't
give
you
without
money
for
growth.
I
can't
give
you
more
bus
routes
and
I
would
say
that.
That's
not
just
my
story,
that's
a
Kannada
story,
that's
digital
story
that
is,
but
but
for
growth,
we're
talking
growth,
okay,
which
is
a
lot
different
than
stretching
routes.
So
it's
very
important
that
you've
always
said
without
money
for
growth.
O
Mr.
mayor,
the
the
investment
which
is
about
five
million
dollars
gives
you
a
bit
of
both
it's
it's
a
two-part,
it's
the
feedback
that
all
of
the
councillors
have
given
mr.
Scrimgeour
on
the
post,
LRT
routes,
the
adjustments
to
that
and
then
a
two
and
a
half
million
towards
that,
and
then
two
and
a
half
million
to
address
some
growth
issues,
some
route
issues
and
chronic
issues
system-wide.
So
it's
a
bit
of
both,
and
so
the
councillor
is
quite
right
that
it's
it's
to
do
both
of
those
things
and.
R
The
operating
side
but
I
think
it's
still
important,
I
mean
we
can
mahat
a
Commissioner
of
Parks
and
Rec,
and
the
peon
that
always
said
I
can
build
you
any
building
that
you
want.
I
just
won't
be
able
to
open
the
doors
and
run
it
for
you
right.
So
there
is
that
dichotomy
all
the
time
that
was
Bob
south,
for
probably
some
of
you
know
him
so
and
here's
another
question
with
regard
to
MPAC
and
the
fact
that
we're
going
to
be
valuing
on
assessment
growth
about
one
and
a
half
percent.
R
S
Think
if
you
actually
were
able
to
have
everything
the
minute
it
was
occupied,
you
probably
would
be
able
to
add-
probably
another
half
a
percent
on
to
this.
But
it
is
a
process.
It
does
take
time,
as
you
can
see
through
our
supplementary
taxes
every
year
and
we
raise
another-
probably
twenty
million
dollars
through
supplementary
taxation
and
I
suggest,
probably
about
half
of
that
could
be
on
the
growth
number
but
just
to
we
are
a
little
bit
of
a
having
an
advantage
this
year.
S
Typically
we're
coming
to
you
we're
figuring
out
what
the
growth
is
in
September
and
it
is
kind
of
a
a
guesstimate
at
that
point
in
time
we
actually
have
very
good
numbers
at
this
point
in
time.
1.5
is
what's
showing
on
the
rolls,
but
we
now
have
to
do
further
analysis,
because
we
are
allowed
some
technical
adjustments
to
try
to
squeeze
a
little
more
growth
out
of
that
and
that's
what
we'd
be
coming
back
to
you
with
in
February.
So.
R
Mr.
Cadillac
has
a
question
for
you:
how
nimble
are
we
in
going
into
this
budget
so
that
we
hear
around
the
table
again?
We
talked
about
diversity.
We
talked
about
many
many
things.
We
talked
about
the
differences
across
our
city.
Do
you
see
any
opportunity
to
be
nimble
in
some
cases
where
you
know
we
talk
about
a
priority,
for
the
city
is
X
and
then,
for
example,
say
it's
in
kitchen
city
or
something
like
that
and
councillor
leaper
says
you
know
what
that
would
be
better
spent
on
something
like
this.
E
Mr.
mayor,
the
you
know,
the
strategy
that
that
was
outlined
was
basically
to
give
you
give
you
a
one-year
budget
with
a
direction
from
this
term,
because
we're
trying
to
see
what
happens
with
a
provincial
budget
and
a
whole
bunch
of
other
things.
We
also
haven't
brought
to
you
the
strategic
plan,
which
will
reflect
what
we
believe
will
be
the
priorities
of
this
council
for
this
term
and
Beyond,
based
on
your
election
campaign,
based
on
the
commitments
you've
made
in
directions.
You've
given
to
staff
over
the
years
that
we
still
are
committed
to.
E
You
would
be
seeing
those
priorities,
those
themes
and
those
directions
and
the
projects
related
to
those
that
discussion
will
happen
and
commence
immediately
after
this
budget
is
passed
on
March
6,
and
that
will
be
your
opportunity
to
have
some
nimbleness,
because
you
have
to
make
some
choices
about.
Where
do
you
want
to
invest
the
incremental
money
that
we
get
every
year?
And
that's
where
the
debate
will
happen
with
that
committees
and
at
Council
with
respect
to?
Where
do
you
want
staff
to
focus
and
implement
for
the
remainder
of
the
term
and
beyond?
Okay,.
R
So
just
another
question-
and
you
know
sometime
this
year,
we're
going
to
hit
the
million
people
in
the
City
of
Ottawa
mark,
which
is
excellent.
I
mean
I,
something
that
to
be
proud
of,
but
with
when
that
happens,
I
mean
a
million
people
in
Mississauga.
A
million
people
here
are
very
different
because
of
our
geography
and
back
in
the
past,
which
in
my
case
is
a
there's
a
lot
of
past
years.
R
E
In
fact,
mr.
mayor,
the
councillor
brings
up
a
very
good
point.
We
have
commenced
an
analysis
of
what's
happening
to
our
service
levels
across
the
across
the
city,
all
the
departments
and
you're
starting
to
see
pressure
now
on
the
service
levels.
Because
of
the
growth
that's
happening,
the
geography
is
affecting
us.
Our
ability
to
to
mine
out
efficiencies
when
we
have
to
cover
more
square
miles
as
the
city
grows
makes
it
very
difficult.
Our
senior
leadership
team
has
been
addressing
that
problem.
E
Seen
that
the
last
two
years
where
we
found
efficiencies
to
reorganisation
other
initiatives
and
councils,
they
will
take
that
money.
So
the
point
being
that
when
you
start
looking
at
your
at
your
services-
and
you
start
having
that
discussion,
this
budget,
and
particularly
the
the
next
one
you're
going
to
be
in
a
position
where
you're
going
to
be
making
choices
about
where
to
invest,
the
thirty
four
million
dollars
is
left
for
the
city.
E
R
If
you
will
miss
Similac
of
ways
alternate
ways
of
funding
and
seeing
whether
there's
an
appetite
in
communities
because
I'm
not
fixed
on
3%
I'm,
going
to
support
this
today,
but
I
think
in
some
cases
what
I
don't
like
is
when
we
say:
okay,
we're
gonna,
be
fair.
We've
got
34
million,
so
we're
gonna
spread
it
across
the
city.
Well,
I
have
90
million
people
in
Fairhaven,
I'm,
never
gonna
get
my
share.
I
never
have
had
my
share,
and
that
means
bar
Haven
doesn't
get
its
share.
R
A
H
I
think
that's
a
projection
for
next
year
the
nine
million
so
counselor
harder
spoke
about
nimbleness
mr.
Cantor
lacus
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
want
to
ask
about
and
make
sure
that
it's
within
your
your
flexibility,
if
you
always
you
build
this
budget,
is
a
number
of
us
around
the
table,
particularly
my
ward
and
and
cancer
health
sentries
Ward
are
still
struggling
with
the
after-effects
of
the
tornado.
H
I
know
that
the
senior
management
in
the
mayor's
office
earned
discussions
with
various
levels
of
government
to
see
if
they're
going
to
provide
more
funding
for
things
like
wood,
wat,
restoration,
removal
of
stone
thing
replanting,
all
those
things,
but
we
don't.
We
don't
have
positive
answers
yet
on
that.
So
my
question
to
you
is:
are
you
building
some
flexibility
into
the
budget
that
if
the
other
levels
of
government
come
back
to
us
and
say
no
we're
not
going
to
give
you
any
more
money
that
we
still
have
flexibility
in
our
city
budget?
E
Mr.
mayor,
the
review
of
the
last
major
incident,
the
tornadoes
is
underway.
We
are
in
the
process
of
doing
a
review
of
the
incident
receiving
input
from
a
community
associations,
the
councillors
affected
staff
input
and
we're
building
that
into
a
model
of
showing
what
areas
we
have
to
focus
on
in
terms
of
any
other
at
future
instance
that
comes
forward.
Mr.
E
de
Monte
is
leading
that,
with
with
his
team,
we've
just
had
an
exercise
on
on
Friday
where
we
tested
our
current
model,
and
we
acknowledged
that
you
know
there's
some
issues
that
probably
will
take
some
capital
investment
for
us
to
be
able
to
actually
improve
what
we
were.
One
of
them
was
on
our
communications,
our
cell
phone
capabilities
and
some
of
those
other
things
and,
of
course,
the
recovery
efforts.
E
And
what
do
we
need
to
do
to
to
expedite
some
of
the
recovery
efforts
while
people
are
in
between
funding
sources
and
all
the
other
things
that
happened
to
them?
So
that
is
on
our
on
our
on
our
plate.
We're
looking
at
that.
If
that
is
where
we
come
to
a
conclusion,
and
the
councillors
will
be
informed.
Of
course,
in
when
we're
doing
that
that
we
will
be
making
efforts
to
ensure
that
our
budget
reflects
the
capacity
we
need
to
be
able
to
respond
to
those
kinds
of
hazards
and
and.
H
I
appreciate
that,
but
I'm
also
speaking
about
the
hazard
is
gone
now
and
the
and
the
problems
are
still
there.
So
if
you
can
make
sure
that
council
is
informed
prior
to
the
budget
deliberations,
whether
or
not
federal
or
provincial
funding
is
coming
in
and
if
you'll
take
us
direction,
what
options
staff
has
to
deal
with
the
issues
of
replanting,
removing
stump
all
those
sorts
of
things
that
the
money
isn't
theirs
a
direction?
You
can
accept
that
you
will
have
options
for
us
if
the
federal
provincial
money
is
not
there.
Yes,
yes,.
H
I
will
write
it
out.
I
see
the
cortex,
please
write
it
out
and
I'll
write
it
out.
The
the
other
question
that
I
that
I
have
for
you
is
we're
being
asked
today
to
talk
or
to
to
hone
in
on
a
3%
increase,
and
one
of
the
pieces
of
that
increase
is
a
figure
of
I
think
9.8
million
dollars
to
go
towards
infrastructure,
which
I
think
is
great.
It's.
What
all
of
us
heard
I
think
during
the
campaign
was
the
roads
and
the
park,
play
structures
and
all
those
other
things
that
need
to
have
renewal.
H
What
I'm
concerned
about
is
the
ability
to
make
sure
that
money
goes
there
and
I'll
and
I'll
tell
you.
I
am
a
little
concerned
about
it.
Previous
meeting,
we
approved
a
budget
approach
that
says
when
you
get
to
committee
the
whole,
you
can
take
from
different
different
committees
and
different
budgets
and
mix-and-match.
So
what
I?
S
So
the
9.8
million
will
be
an
increase
to
the
contribution
to
capital
which
forms
part
of
the
non
departmental
budget
which
is
in
front
of
fedko.
It
is
therefore
one
of
those
items
that
is,
there
is
an
ability
to
be
poached,
but
every
time
a
councillor
would
come
forward
with
they
want
to
reduce
the
contribution
to
capital
to
fund
something
else
we
would
have
to
identify.
S
These
are
the
capital
projects
that
would
be
cancelled
as
a
result
of
that
I
think
that's
the
thing
that
will
keep
diminishing
those
contributions
in
check,
because
it's
not
just
a
simple
remove
it,
its
remove
it.
Oh
and
these
projects
now
are
no
longer
in
the
capital
budget,
so,
unfortunately,
council
I
can't
I,
can't
assure
you
that
it
won't
be
poached.
I
would
suggest
it
will
be
difficult
to
poach
it,
but
it's
there's
no
guarantee
that
it
won't
be.
H
S
A
Thanks
counselor
and
just
to
follow
up,
we
had
the
discussion
that
I
did
raise
the
stump
and
woodlot
issue
that
you
and
certainly
councilor
ocean
tier
are
familiar
with
with
respect
to
the
tornado
with
the
premier
and
their
initial
response.
As
you
know
from
the
minister,
was
they
didn't
have
that
funding,
but
they
said
that
they
would
take
a
second
look
at
it
perhaps
from
another
ministry.
A
B
On
the
contrary,
I'm
very
comfortable
with
having
a
certain
target,
because
we
can
work
within
a
framework.
It
provides
a
direction
for
our
executive
staff
so
that
they
can
set
a
budget.
My
concern
is
more
related
to
the
alignment
between
the
budget
that
we'll
be
approving
today
and
our
future
direction,
because
we
do
have
certain
priorities:
we've
seen
that,
for
example,
with
the
investment
that
we
made
in
roads,
so
it
puts
us
on
a
certain
path
in
terms
of
those
priorities.
So
I
have
two
questions.
B
B
B
S
S
What
we're
doing
is
it'll
be
included
in
the
budget.
You
will
see
the
what
we
are
forecasting
for
all
of
the
various
departments
and
areas
for
there
are
2018
final
numbers
and
and
it'll
be
pretty
close
to
final
as
part
of
the
budget,
so
you'll
be
able
to
see
where
the
surpluses
and
the
deficits
are.
But
as
Miss
Jasmine
said,
we
look
at
the
results
of
any
preceding
year
and
we
adjust.
S
If
there
is
a
surplus
in
an
area
we
will
most
likely
say
it
was
from
revenue
we'll
adjust
that
and
bring
that
into
the
2019
budget.
So
you
will
actually
have
more
or
less
the
2018
final
numbers
built
into
the
2019
budget.
Whereas
before
what
you
had
last
year,
is
you
had
an
estimate
of
what
it
was
going
to
be
done
in
September?
C
S
Because
we
have
an
election
every
four
years
now
we
have
actually
in
our
bylaws.
We
have
constraints
on
what
the
spending
can
be
so
for
all
departments
by
March
31st.
They
can
only
have
spent
25%
of
their
budget
with
the
exception
of
basically
winter
maintenance,
because
that
is,
we
don't
want
to
curtail
their
activities
and
the
emergency
areas,
but
everybody
else
is
more
or
less
that's.
S
B
B
We
really
feel
some
pressure
because
we
need
additional
services
in
new
areas
of
the
city
and
also
pressure
for
existing
roads,
which
might
have
some
capacity
issues.
So
I
know
where
you're
in
transition
and
we'll
talk
about
the
priorities
for
council.
What
can
we
tell
our
communities
in
terms
of
that
dynamic?
Mr.
mayor,
you
can
tell
a
community
that
in
2019,
when
we
start
operating
light,
rail,
some
things
will
change
and
the
outcome
of
the
investment
is
that
well,
there
will
be
more
reliability
on
the
transit
and
the
millions.
B
More
investment
will
provide
a
more
capability
to
adjust
roads
that
have
a
problem.
When,
when
the
light
rail
starts,
there
will
be
more
reliability
for
all
the
cities,
so
it
there'll
be
many
changes
within
the
city,
there'll
be
a
shakeout
and
and
then
in
2020.
We
can
do
something
else,
but
it's
a
good
year
for
investing
in
public
transit
because
there'll
be
light
rail,
two
million
dollars
and
five
million
dollars.
C
But
if
we
were,
if
I
were
to
bring
forward
a
motion
relating
to
a
tax
levy
for
for
housing,
specifically
as
I
I
talked
about
in
the
past
procedurally,
would
it
have
to
go
through
committee?
Could
I
bring
it
as
Council
of
the
whole,
so
I
just
want
to
understand
as
part
of
these
budget
directions.
What
levers
are
we're
continuing
to
keep
or
what
does
that
mean
for
in
terms
of
procedure?
Mr.
K
C
Finally,
I
realize
I,
assumed
and
I
believe
just
from
seeing
a
lot
of
our
platforms
that
you
know,
transit,
roads
and
housing
will
be
dominant
in
the
conversations
I
think
you
know
the
mayor
and
the
administration
see
that
I'm
very
concerned
around
our
building
capacity
for
housing
and
how
we're
going
to
do
that.
So
I'll
certainly
be
interested
as
part
of
this
year's
budget.
Seeing
how
you
know,
we've
seen
forward
Avenue
we're
seeing
ongoing
pressures
relating
to
the
waiting
list.
C
So
what
flexibility
are
we
going
to
put
in
to
enable
new
housing
opportunities
from
supplements
trend,
gear
to
income
rents?
Ups,
new
housing,
so
you
know
I'm
not
seeing
it
in
the
budget
direction,
but
certainly
it'll
be
part
of
the
the
important
conversations
on
CPS
for
this
year's
budget.
In
my
mind,.
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
and
just
to
remind
members
of
council,
you
can
also
bring
forward
ideas
for
things
we
shouldn't
be
funding
anymore,
because
there's
two
sides,
of
course,
to
a
ledger.
So
I've
heard
lots
of
ideas
and
how
to
spend
more
money,
but
I
think
we
also
have
a
collective
responsibility
to
ask
our
constituents
and
I'm
sure
we
heard
many
ideas
on
how
to
save
money.
That's
another
way
of
dealing
with
some
of
the
pressures
that
we
have
to
face.
We
should
consider
those
options
as
well:
Chancellor
deans,
please
well.
T
What
because
3%
sounds
like
a
lot
of
money,
but
then,
when
you
start
thinking
about
building
a
city,
a
safe,
healthy
City
for
everyone
and
all
of
the
comedic
competing
priorities,
it
actually
isn't
a
lot
of
money
for
all
the
things
that
we
want
to
accomplish
here,
and
so
in
my
time
on
council
over
the
years,
one
of
the
things
that
we've
done
periodically
our
program,
reviews,
universal
program,
reviews
and
other
reviews
that
will
seek
to
ferret
out
efficiencies
in
an
organization
of
this
size.
In
this
complexity,
there
were
always
things
that
we're
doing
that.
T
We
don't
need
to
keep
doing
and
I
think
that
part
of
the
budget
exercise
has
to
be
identifying
those,
because
we
can
all
identify
areas
where
we
want
to
spend
more.
But
we
need
to
have
a
process
to
find
the
things
that
perhaps
we
don't
need
to
be
spending
those
areas
anymore
or
as
much
money
anymore,
so
that
we
can
be
efficient
I.
T
My
impression
from
the
tax
base
is,
they
understand
the
complexity
of
running
a
city
and
they
understand
that
it
cost
money
and
they're
willing
to
pay
as
long
as
they
get
value
for
money
for
the
tax
dollars
that
they
spend.
But
they
want
to
see
an
effort
for
efficiency.
So
what?
What
is
the
process
to
find
the
efficiencies
in
the
city's
budget?.
E
Mr.
mayor,
the
you
know,
I
guess
I
go
far
back
enough
to
do
amalgamation
with
all
the
efficiency
and
program
review
and
many
there
are
few
councillors
that
were
still
there
here
today.
They
were
there.
Then
we
basically
start
in
2001.
Finding
efficiencies.
I
can
report
that
we
have
documented
and
I
anticipated.
This
question
coming
up
since
2001,
the
city
and
council
collectively
have
found
361
million
dollars
in
permanent
net
savings
to
the
city
budget
and
we
reduced
sixteen
hundred
and
fifty
eight
full-time
equivalents
to
date.
That's
the
kind
of
savings
we
bring
every
year.
E
Part
of
it
was
with
a
bursal
program
review
part
of
it
was
direction
that
council
gave
us.
They
gave
us
efficiency
targets,
so
we
built
into
the
budget.
Part
of
it
was
a
service,
audible,
program
or
council,
invested
eighty
million
dollars
and
asked
us
to
find
40
million
dollars
in
efficiencies
through
technology
upgrades
every
year
we
have
submissions
from
our
departments
that
surpass
anything,
that's
reasonable
in
terms
of
a
tax
increase
because
staff
submit
it
the
treasurer
the
department
heads
the
general
managers.
Here
myself,
we
review
those.
We
basically
look
at
where
the
risks
are.
E
Where
were
their
surplus
this
year
before?
Where
can
we
allocate
budgets
within
budgets
to
make
the
thing
balance?
Where
do
we
find
opportunities
to
take
some
risk
on
some
budgets?
Where
are
there
opportunities
to
save
money?
We
currently
have
a
number
of
efficiency
reviews
happening
in
almost
every
department.
The
general
manager
has
taken
a
lead
to
look
at
various
branches
to
look
at
it.
How
much
more
we
can
mine
out
savings
and
that's
happening
that
happens
as
part
of
the
discipline
of
having
a
budget
direction.
E
The
council
gives
us
when
you
give
us
a
budget
direction,
we
try
to
stay
within
then
it
forces
the
administration
to
start
looking,
I'm
I'm
reluctant
to
start
a
program
review.
You
know
sort
of
the
the
kind
of
thing
that
reminds
you
of
maybe
this
universal
program
review,
or
something
that
large
corporately,
because
I
believe
we
have
to
get
past
a
provincial
budget
in
in
the
spring
to
see
what
the
impact
is,
which
then
positions
where
council
wants
to
focus
its
efforts
in
terms
of
what
the
impacts
are
to
the
various
services.
E
Before
we
start
taking
money
out
of,
in
other
words,
shoot
ourselves
twice,
let's
see
what
happens
and
then
look
forward
to
see
where
we're
at,
because
the
the
benefit
of
election
year
is.
You
do
have
two
budgets
in
one
year
and
you're
gonna
see
a
very
clear
picture
of
your
financial
situation,
sort
of
out
to
2021,
which
you
normally
wouldn't
see
so
I
want
to
share
council
that
you
know
we.
We
are
constantly
looking
for
money
because
we've
had
to
stay
within
the
the
cap.
E
We
found
a
lot
of
money
over
the
last
18
years
and
that
never
stops.
We've
got
reviews
right
now.
I
haven't
some
of
them.
We
haven't
shared
because
there's
collective
agreement,
issues
and
stuff,
but
that
work
is,
is
constantly
underway
and
is
what
contributes
and
what
you'll
see.
When
you
see
the
draft
budget,
those
inputs
and
those
assumptions
are
built
into
that
budget.
T
Okay,
saying
thank
you
for
that
answer
and
if
it
were
possible
for
you
to,
in
the
context
of
the
budget,
provide
a
sort
of
an
assessment
of
each
department
use
that
each
department
was
looking
for
efficiencies.
If
you
could
enunciate
for
us
where
those
are
so
that
we
understand
them
as
part
of
the
budget
process.
I
think
that
would
be
helpful.
T
T
So
to
that
end,
I
do
have
a
budget
direction.
So
I'd
like
to
direct
the
city
manager
to
meet
in
advance
of
tabling
of
the
29
draft
budget
at
the
Ottawa
police
service
board,
with
the
chair
of
the
PSB
City
of
Ottawa
finance
staff,
the
Chief
of
Police
to
discuss
their
specific
budget
pressures
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
any
potential
demonstrated
needs
for
their
budget
beyond
the
3%
directed
by
council.
T
It
should
be
clear
that
the
intent
of
this
discussion
is
to
get
a
clear
understanding
of
the
police
budget
to
ensure
these
pressures
are
communicated
to
all
levels
of
government.
I
think
you
clearly
understand
my
goal
in
in
doing
that,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
properly
resourced
moving
forward
so
that
we
can
ensure
the
protection
of
this
city.
So
that's
my
direction.
Thank
you
very
much
great.
A
And
I
forgot
to
mention
counselor
that
Minister
McLeod
also
called
to
confirm
that
the
money
will
be
coming.
So
that's
good
assurance
on
both
the
part
of
the
premier
and
the
the
minister
and
I
think
you
know
the
counselor
brought
up
a
good
point
in
terms
of
where
do
we
find
these
savings?
It's
a
massive
organization
and
it's
you
know
I
think
often
I
have
people
come
up
to
me
or
email
me
with
an
idea,
sometimes
they're,
really
good
ideas
and
other
times
they
just
probably
would
not
make
the
the
savings
that
we
we'd
anticipated.
A
But
two
good
examples
I
think
we're.
When
we
got
out
of
the
golf
course
business
Pineview,
which
you
know
often
lost
money,
that's
off
the
books
and
then
I
couldn't
believe
we
actually
had.
You
know
24
horses
on
the
payroll
because
we
hold
the
equestrian
park,
that's
off
the
blocks,
it's
doing
very,
very
well.
A
A
For
for
betting
of
horses,
so
I
think
if
members
during
the
course
the
election
came
across
people
with
ideas
or
they
saw
you
know
what
they
thought
was
waste
go
to
see
the
city
manager,
canna
lacus,
because
often
there's
there's
a
you
know,
a
good
reason
why
something
that
looks,
may
look
wasteful
or
there's
an
honor
there's
no
reason
and
it
should
be
addressed.
I've
been
hounding
the
city
manager.
You
know
we're
gonna,
do
a
much
more
aggressive
job
of
getting
rid
of
surplus
buildings
and
property.
You
know,
I
think
it.
A
Where
was
it
in
one
councillors,
war
there's
this
building
that's
been
sitting
there
vacant
for
years
and
I,
don't
know
why
we
just
don't
sell
the
building,
so
I
think
we
have
to
look
at
those
kinds
of
things
as
a
cost
savings,
because
it
does
two
things
one:
it
gets
the
dollars
into
the
capital
budget,
but
for
the
sale
of
the
property
or
the
building
that's
no
longer
in
use,
but,
secondly,
we
then
start
generating
tax
revenue
because
we're
not
paying
taxes
when
it's
a
city
building.
So
it's
a
it's
a
double
loss
for
us.
A
M
Thanks
mayor
I
just
have
a
couple
of
questions
then
I
have
some
some
directions.
My
first
question
is
around
the
long
range
financial
plan.
I
understand
this
was
approved
just
not
too
long
ago
at
the
end
of
2017.
Is
it
anticipated
that
council
would
approve
another
long-range
financial
plan?
This
term.
S
We
update
the
long-range
financial
plans
on
a
regular
basis,
I
believe
the
next
one
you'll
probably
be
seeing
is
when
we
do
stage
two
of
light
rail,
which
is
in
early
2019,
and
then
we
will
update
most
likely
the
tax
supported
one
after
that.
Just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
where
we're
going
or
how
we
progressed
with
the
infrastructure
gap
and
rate.
If
there's
a
significant
change
in
something,
for
example,
development
charges
might
be
an
issue
for
the
right
side.
We
would
update
the
long-range
financial
plan
after
that.
Okay.
M
Thank
you
that's
helpful.
Another
question
I
have
is
around
you
know
at
the
school
board.
We'd
have
similar
to
what
you've
done
on
folio
7
of
the
report,
which
is
great
and
then
when
the
budget
was
tabled,
we'd
have
detailed
breakdowns
of
where
those
additional
revenues
would
go.
So
if
they
were
for
maintenance
of
a
road,
we
see
that
specifically,
obviously
at
the
school
board.
It
would
be
different
than
that,
but
is
that
something
that
that
you
do
here
on
the
budget?
S
We
don't
assign
the
growth
or
the
tax
revenue
to
you
that
this
dollar
increased
goes
here.
What
you
see
is
the
change
in
the
budgets
overall,
so
you'll
see.
For
example,
a
department
goes
from
a
million
dollars
to
a
million
ten
and
that
ten
will
will
be
funded
from
the
increase
in
the
taxation.
Okay,.
M
So
that,
just
on
the
same
that
same
page,
the
9.8
million
that's
going
to
be
going
to
infrastructure
renewal,
we
won't
necessarily
see
where
exactly
that
that's
gone,
and
the
35
million
dollars
to
fund
increases
in
compensation
materials
growth
in
services
stemming
from
the
addition
of
new
assets,
those
okay,
those
won't
be
broken
down
any
further.
Okay,
so
I
have
a
instead
of
that
motion.
I
have
a
direction.
Is
it
not
sure
mayor?
If
you
want
me
to
read
the
direction
now
that
would
be
in
order?
M
Yes,
please,
okay,
so
it's
that
staff
be
directed
to
prepare
the
following:
alternative
fare:
increased
scenarios
to
be
provided
to
council
as
a
public
supplemental
to
the
2019
budget
report,
including
the
anticipated
impact
of
these
scenarios
on
city
revenue,
the
transit
levy,
service
levels
and
ridership
number
one.
A
budget
scenario
addendum
where
all
transit
fares
are
frozen
for
the
2019
budget
year
and
number
two,
a
scenario
addendum
where
the
echo
pass
you
pass
community
pass
and
access
pass.
Fares
are
frozen
for
the
2019
budget
year.
K
S
Thank
for
the
question
so
you're
correct.
This
does
actually
move
your
RCE
revenue.
Cost
ratio
away
from
the
target,
as
opposed
towards
that
2019
is
a
bit
of
an
anomaly
though,
in
in
that
we're
doing
the
transition
to
light
rail.
When
you
move
to
light
rail,
what
is
actually
going
to
happen
is
your
RC
ratio
is
going
to
increase
without
you
doing
anything,
and
that's
because
you're
basically
moving
what
are
now
operating
costs
to
capital
costs
and
the
RC
ratio,
the
base
of
it
is
over
operating
cost,
so
the
operating
costs
will
reduce
the
revenue.
S
Fair
revenue
will
remain
constant
and,
as
a
result,
the
RC
ratio
will
move
towards
the
target
so
2019.
Yes,
we
know
we're
not
going
quite
in
direction
with
policy,
but
we
know
we're
getting
there
eventually
and
unfortunately,
because
of
the
fact
that
we
have
a
mid-year
or
because
it's
an
election
year
and
we're
only
able
to
do
the
increase
in
July.
That's
impacting
what
we're.
What
we're
presenting
here
well.
K
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
I
think
mr.
mayor
by
and
large,
these
are
very
good
recommendations
overall,
obviously
subject
to
the
specifics
that
you
and
the
team
will
put
together
and
present
to
Council
in
the
new
year.
My
caution,
friends
would
be
to
not
have
the
cap.
I
think
is,
or
at
least
a
target
I
think
is
dangerous,
I
think
in
all
budgeting
we
do
whether
it's
at
home
or
a
business
we
may
have
operated
or
or
in
a
previous
employment.
There
have
always
been
caps
at
home.
K
K
I
want
a
house
in
Barbados,
but
that's
not
part
of
what
we
can
afford
right
now
and
so
allowing
everyone
to
put
all
the
candy
into
the
jar
without
telling
anyone
how
big
the
jar
is
is
not
a
really
effective
way
for
us
to
budget,
and
it's
not
a
really
fair
way,
either
to
set
expectations
and
give
staff
a
job
to
do.
We
all
want
more
things:
I
want
more
things
in
Cumberland,
I
want
more
things
in
Ottawa,
I
want
more
things
in
my
personal
life.
K
We
can't
afford
all
the
things
we
want,
so
we
need
to
prioritize
and
we
need
to
set
some
parameters
for
that
prioritization
and
that's
what
the
cap
and
the
target
allows
us
to
do,
and
so
I'd
encourage
everyone
to
vote
against
any
notion
of
of
taking
this
this
cap
out
of
the
recommendation.
Thank
you
all.
J
Thank
you,
your
worship,
I,
won't
repeat
what
councillor
Dean
said:
I
appreciate
a
lot
of
what
she
said.
Talking
about
efficiencies
and
city
manager
and
I
have
met
a
number
of
occasions
this
calendar
year
to
talk
specifically
about
that
the
budget
which
is
very
important
not
just
to
my
residents
but
all
ratepayers.
It's
certainly
much
more
challenging
to
build
an
extensive
process
which
reviews
and
analyzes
and
questions
expenditures
and
the
need
to
increase
in
expenses,
because
a
lot
of
the
times
it's
very
easy
to
raise.
Taxes
is
easy.
J
That
is
not
just
a
debate
about
what
the
tax
levies
and
rates
should
be,
but
there's
ongoing
hard
work
going
on
in
this
organization
over
time
that
looks
for
those
efficiencies.
So
if
that
context
and
a
very
brief
history
can
be
provided
in
the
more
fulsome
budget
documents,
I
think
that
would
be
great
because
it
provides
the
context
that
we
need
when
we're
talking
with
our
residents
and
our
business
owners.
It's
not
just
about
rate
increases,
but
also
how
the
city
is
doing.
J
The
work
with
efficiencies
I
think
would
be
very,
very
helpful,
I'm,
not
sure
what
conversations
this
happened,
but
I'm
not
looking
for
detail
today,
but
mr.
city
manager,
the
in
item
one
it
talks
about
the
proposed
up
to
it.
Increases
for
police
library
and
public
health
has
have
the
police
chief,
have
the
library
CEO
and
has
the
chief
medical
officer
of
Health
been
consulted
on
these
numbers.
E
E
mayor,
the
chief
effectively
is
saying
that
he
has
to
respect
his
board
and
bring
his
estimates
to
the
board
and
to
the
new
chair
and
the
new
board
members,
and
that's
where
the
discussion
happens
for
round
their
budget
and
so
he's
not
going
to
be
commenting
as
an
example
in
terms
of
where
he
thinks
his
budgets
going
to
be.
At
this
time
he
understands
he's
going
to
receive
a
direction
from
Council.
E
That
will
be
the
you
know
the
framework
of
what
they're
going
to
be
looking
at,
but
that
doesn't
preclude,
obviously
the
board
from
reviewing
all
their
things,
and
now
we
have
a
direction
from
the
chair
of
the
board
or
the
future
chair
of
the
board
that
we
will
be
meeting
with
the
treasurer
to
look
at
their
expenses
and
see
what
we
can
put
forward
to
other
levels
of
governments.
So
I
look
forward
to
that
meeting
and
I
hope.
E
That's
part
of
the
process
of
you
know
keeping
everybody
as
the
previous
councilor
spoke,
keeping
that
discipline
on
everybody
in
terms
of
looking
hard
at
your
expenses,
looking
hard
of
what
you
do
and
making
sure
that
you
do
your
best
to
bring
in
a
responsible,
a
responsible
budget
other.
Otherwise,
you
know
I,
think
every
general
manager
here
at
the
table
would
love
to
have
an
open
end
in
your
direction,
because
our
staff
are
very
good
at
wanting
more
like
everybody
does
they
want
to
do
better?
E
J
You
and
I,
you
know
I.
My
gut
says
that
Library
and
Health
will
probably
be
able
to
live
within
the
means
of
no
more
than
a
3%
increase,
but
we're
we're.
We
as
a
council
are
gonna,
have
some
very
serious
budget
discussions
very
soon
about
the
police
services
board
budget
and,
if
you're
not
on
the
board,
I,
certainly
invite
you
to
come
to
not
just
their
committee
meetings
but
their
discussions
as
well
when
they
meet
I.
J
Don't
expect
staff
to
know
this
now,
but
I
would
like
to
ask
this
question
the
three
percent
levy
up
to
three
percent
three
point:
five
percent
levy
for
the
transit
Lily
and
a
2.5
percent
fare
increase
on
an
annual
basis.
What
will
the
average
rate
payer
who
takes
the
bus
annually
has
a
pass
whatwhat's
that
impact
on
them?
So
not
just
a
fare
increase
but
a
three
point:
five
percent
levy
increase
if
I
could
just
table
that
question
I,
don't
expect
the
answer
today.
J
J
This
past
election
there'll
be
opportunities
for
once
the
budget
has
been
tabled
to
consult
on
that
budget
and
to
see
whether
the
needs
of
your
wards
in
this
city
are
reflected
in
that
budget
and
then
it'll
be
a
process
to
address
that
through
the
committee
and
in
committee.
The
whole
process
so
I
think
it's
important
too,
to
provide
that
direction.
I'm
underline
the
word
buy
no
more
than
three
percent.
J
This
is
not
an
automatic
three
percent
increase
and
again
it's
to
staff
to
ensure
that
where
the
pressures
exist
that
they
can
go
up
to
that
limit
in
their
preliminary
budget,
but
I
do
not
expect
to
see
every
single
line
in
the
budget
get
across
the
board
three
percent.
That
should
not
how
it
how
it
is,
and
so
I
just
underline
the
words
buy
no
more
because
that
provides
me
with
some
comfort.
But
there
will
be
extensive
debate
and
discussion
when
the
budget
comes
out,
but
I'm
satisfied
what's
with
what's
before
us
today.
D
Oh
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
so
we're
speaking
about
caps,
but
just
as
a
point
of
clarification
and
I'm
reading
this
in
the
report,
maybe
I
just
want
to
throw
this
other.
This
is
for
2019
budget.
We
will
have
opportunities
going
forward
to
look
at
further
discussion
around
this.
That
that's
one
question
and
then
my
other
question
was
in
terms
of
the
infrastructure
gap.
When
we're
looking
at
the
ten
years
to
fill
to
close
that
gap,
are
we
basing
the
ten
years
on
2%.
S
S
It
had
been
part
of
the
2
percent
before,
which
is
why
city
manager,
County
lacus,
is
saying
that
the
service
levels
have
been
decreasing
because
we
were
using
the
room
in
the
2
percent
to
basically
fix
something
that
has
been
a
historical
problem
since
amalgamation
that
we
do
not
have
the
right
amount
being
contributed
towards
the
capital
assets
that
we
have
in
the
city.
So
what
we're
recommending
now
is
we're
carving
it
out.
It's
part
of
the
3%.
D
Ok
and
just
on
the
point
that
this
so
I
agree
with
much
of
what
I'm
hearing
here
in
that
you
know,
I'm
focused
on
the
no
more
than
3%,
because
I
think
that
you
know
we
have
a
due
diligence
to
our
to
the
taxpayer,
to
our
can
issuance
to
make
sure
that
we're
spending
their
dollars
wisely.
And
you
know,
on
the
campaign
trail,
we've
had
the
largest
public
consultation
for
the
city
by
having
an
election
and
being
on
the
campaign
and
what
I
heard
at
the
door
was
that
people?
D
D
L
You
mr.
mayor
I
do
also
I
am
struggling
with
with
the
budget
directions,
because
you
know
in
the
past,
I
did
support
it
and
then
was
told
that
you
know
I
had
agreed
to
a
cap
and
I.
Think
this
whole,
you
know,
is
that
the
target
is
it
a
cap
is,
is
a
conversation
that
you
know
at
least
we're
having
here
today
that
we,
you
know,
didn't,
have
the
in
the
last
term,
but
you
know
we.
We
have
to
ensure
that
this
city
is
affordable.
L
There's
no
doubt,
but
you
know
it
has
to
be
affordable
for
everyone,
and
you
know:
I
I
think
that
there
there
are
ways
of
moving
the
yardstick
forward
on
ensuring
that
the
folks
who
are
being
left
behind
it
and
they
are
being
left
behind
that
we
can
move
that
yardstick
in
it.
It
doesn't
always
mean
a
huge
infusion
of
tax
dollars,
but
you
know
when
we
look
at
when
we
look
at
a
housing.
For
example,
maybe
I'll
put
the
question
to
to
miss
Burrell.
L
L
S
I'd
have
to
go
back
mr.
Maron
and
check
the
numbers
on
that
of
pressure.
I
think
that
it's
clear
that
there's
been
an
increase
this
year
that
we've
had
to
accommodate
more
individuals
and
therefore
we
belong
on
more
off-site
and
in
terms
of
motels.
But
the
exact
number
I
would
have
to
have
come
back
to
council.
L
Okay,
I
appreciate
that
and
I.
Actually
it
would
be
good
to
have
that
that
number
ahead
of
when
we
actually
go
into
budget,
but
you
know,
have
we
and
I
understand
that
that
housing
for
shelters
is
is
flowed
through
the
city
from
the
province,
so
we
don't
have
great
discretion
with
how
we
spend
that
money,
but
have
we
ever
asked
the
province?
Have
we
ever
pointed
out,
especially
the
government
we
have
now?
Is
you
know
often
looking
for
efficiencies
as
well,
that
money
being
turned
into
capital
dollars
to
actually
build,
affordable
housing?
L
You
know,
we've
got
what
a
on
average
I
think
it's
about
183
families
every
night
in
this
city
in
living
in
motels,
think
about
that
their
kids
have
to
get
up
and
go
to
school.
There's
no
kitchen,
there's
no
real
place
to
do
to
do
homework.
It's
it's
not!
You
know
it's!
It's
temporary!
It's
not
secure
they're,
not
making
friends
they're
not
doing
well
in
school,
we
close
down
for
word,
family
shelter.
L
You
know
18
families
had
to
be
moved
out
and
we've
closed,
that
shelter,
one
of
only
two
family
shelters
and
when
that
happened,
I
can
tell
you
that
the
shelters
who
deal
with
women
and
children
fleeing
of
abuse
came
to
me
almost
immediately,
because
that
was
their
overflow.
That
was
part
of
their
overflow,
and
you
know
we
are
hearing
stories
and
right
now,
it's
a
bit
anecdotal,
but
we
are
getting.
We
are
getting.
L
You
know
stories
of
women
and
children
fleeing
abuse,
not
having
any,
where
at
one
time
at
the
city
would
house
them
would
put
them
in
a
motel.
That's
not
necessarily
the
case
anymore
they're
going
back
they're
sleeping
on
people's
couches.
You
know
rooming
houses
are
you
know
the
the
ones
that
aren't
operating
well,
people
are
paying
six
seven.
Eight
nine
hundred
dollars
a
month
for
a
room
filled
with
cockroaches
I
could
share
an
email
that
I
got
with
you
just
yesterday
of
somebody
who
cannot
stay
in
a
room
because
it's
so
full
of
cockroaches.
L
So
when
we
talk
about
affordability,
I
haven't
seen
the
term
housing
in
in
this
report.
I
know
we
haven't
done
our
term
of
council
priorities,
but
I
don't
see
the
word
housing
in
this
report
and
those
are
the
pressures
that
are
out
there.
That
is
what
people
are
dealing
with:
it's
not
about
whether
we're
going
to
buy
Ferraris
or
a
home
in
Barbados.
L
It's
about
whether
we
can
house
fam
women
and
children
fleeing
abuse
families
who
are
living
in
motels
people
who
are
living
in
rooming
houses,
full
of
bugs
and
paying
six
seven
eight
hundred
nine
hundred
dollars
a
month
that
is
not
affordable.
That
is
leaving
people
behind
in
our
city,
so
tax
versus
cap
I'm
not
sure
that
I
can
support
a
budget
direction.
That
gives
me
a
hard
cap
that
I
cannot
ensure
that
those
that
those
residents
that
I
represent
that
we
all
represent
aren't
going
to
be
taken
care
of
q.
H
A
Mr.
man,
coney
john
man
coney,
you
got
a
question
just
while
we're
waiting,
I
just
wanted
I
forgot
to
mention
in
my
comments.
Counselor
hubely
and
Tierney
were
very
helpful
when
the
the
asset
report
came
out
and
it
showed
that
would
be
a
ten
year
time
frame
to
to
get
to
the
backlog.
It
went
to
five
years,
so
I
just
wanted
to
give
credit
to
elseÃs,
hubely
and
Tierney
for
the
work
they
did
on
that
report
without
a
Gaussian
and
I.
Thank.
H
You
mr.
Mehra
and
I'd
like
to
on
that
note,
I'd
like
to
congratulate
staff
for
coming
back
what
a
way
to
do
that
without
increasing
debt.
I
think
that
was
very
important
until
well
done
mr.
Mahoney,
on
the
the
motion
to
take
out
the
wording
on
growth
money
going
to
growth
in
the
transit.
You
said
you
think
you
can
manage
that
within
that
envelope.
H
So
I
just
I
know,
council,
harder,
I
asked
you
a
lot
of
questions
I,
but
just
want
to
be
very
clear
for
the
residents
in
the
burbs
that
you're
saying
that's
enough
money
to
address
the
concerns
that
we
have
for
the
fixes
in
the
current
system
for
the
burbs,
because
for
my
council
colleagues
for
example,
if
there's
an
issue
with
a
route
in
my
area
that
impacts
council
sure
alley,
we've
had
to
work
on
a
few.
You
know.
H
O
O
Where
would
you
invest
it
so
that
first,
2.5
million
would
go
to
all
the
feedback
that
every
single
councillor
and
the
previous
council
gave
us
on
the
post,
LRT
bus
routes
and
we're
now
briefing
the
new
councillors
getting
their
input
on
that
and
the
remaining
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
would
be
invested
on
those
areas
that
have
chronic
problems,
which
includes
some
of
the
growth
areas.
So
it's
it
would
be
spread
across
those,
but
it
will
not
fix
every
single
issue.
O
That's
out
there
and
back
to
councillor
T's
comments
earlier
on,
remembering
that
when
we
opened
the
LRT
there'll
be
a
stabilization
of
all
those
interline
routes.
So
reliability
should
increase
citywide,
particularly
out
in
the
suburban
areas
where
those
buses
don't
need
to
deadhead
into
the
core.
So
it's
a
blend
of
all
those
things
and
doing
the
best
on
what
I
described
is
a
very
complicated
year.
Ok,.
H
Thank
you
and
my
other
question
is
on
the
direction
to
get
to
drop
some
scenarios
of
what
it
would
be
like
to
freeze
the
rate
increases
for
a
year
or
two
years.
Could
that
report
back
to
council
also
include
what
the
impacts
will
be
to
fund
that
like
how
much
service
cuts
or
will
have
to
be,
or
how
much
additional
cost
would
have
to
go
on
to
the
tax
bill
of
every
resident?.
O
Certainly,
mr.
mayor
happy
to
do
the
work,
it's
it's
not
complicated.
Work
to
do.
I,
just
I,
just
want
to
make
sure
that
council
is
aware
that
you
know
we
will
need
an
offset
in
the
order
about
2.3
million
dollars
that
this
is
half
a
year.
It's
4.7
annualized
and
without
any
direction.
I
don't
want
to
surprise
council
what
I'll
do
is
I'll
come
back
with
that
five
million
dollars
and
reduce
it
by
2.3
million.
O
The
treasurer
and
I
have
spoken,
and
that's
that's
the
first
tranche
that
we
would
take
or
if
you
want
to
give
me
further
direction,
to
cut
existing
roots,
your
three
levers
or
taxes,
fares
or
routes
or
service,
and
so
it's
about
2.3
million
dollars
of
something
that
would
need
to
come
off
the
list
in
order
for
us
to
meet
the
mandate
or
change
the
mandate
without.
Within
that
context,
Thank.
H
You
mr.
McCarney
and
now
for
mr.
mayor,
if
I
could
I'd
like
to
also
say
something
about
the
3%
cap,
this
up
until
this
year
as
we
we
both
and
a
number
of
our
colleagues
all
got
elected
in
2010
I
was
quite
proud
of
the
fact
that
we
were
able
to
come
forward
within
the
first
term.
A
steady
plan
of
2.5%
I
think
mr.
Cadillac
has
can
confirm
that
that
really
makes
the
running
of
the
city
a
lot
easier
when
they
know
what
the
increases
are
over
a
multi-year
period,
they
can
plan
for
that.
H
They
can
try
to
get
all
our
wants
and
needs
included
in
that
amount.
Last
term
we
did
very
well
by
getting
to
drop
that
to
2,
so
a
very
reluctant
to
see
that
go
up.
However,
in
discussions
with
you
you've
and
from
what
we
heard
on
the
campaign
trail
I'm
sure
I
got
the
same
message
as
a
lot
of
my
colleagues.
H
They
want
to
see
the
money
go
into
the
roads
and
fix
the
roads,
whether
they
drive
a
car
or
ride
the
bus,
they're
feeling
or
ride
a
bike
they're
feeling
the
impacts
of
the
reduction
in
infrastructure
spending
when
the
federal
government
cut
it
at
their
share
and
then
the
province
followed
suit.
So
I
will
support
the
3%
cap.
I
will
not
support
a
blank
check
on
the
tax
increases
because
of
the
impacts
on
residents
and
my
ward
and
others
Thank.
G
G
But
when
it
comes
to
a
lot
of
the
online
offerings
that
we've
had
so,
for
example,
the
Citizen
budget
tool
we've
used
for
the
last
three
years,
it
gives
us
a
lot
of
very
valuable
feedback
because
our
residents
get
to
play
like
they're
a
counselor
and
dictate
what
they
would
like
to
see
increased
or
decreased,
and
that
information
is
extremely
valuable.
Are
we
using
that
that
tool
again
this
year.
Q
Okay,
so,
unfortunately,
we
know
we're
not
using
the
tool
this
year,
it's
it's
actually
a
fairly
expensive
tool
to
use,
and
when
we
looked
at
the
participation
rate
in
the
first
year
was
fairly
good.
We
had
hoped
that
the
participation
rate
would
have
increased
in
the
second
year
and
it
didn't
it
actually
decreased
rather
significantly,
so
we
didn't
think
it
was
worth
the
investment.
There
are
multiple
tools
available
right
now
on
the
website
and
we
are
putting
an
online
survey
tool
that
will
be
available
in
January.
Q
G
And
you
know
that's
unfortunate
when
you
say
expensive:
what
values
are
we
talking
for
a
tool
led
and
let's
face
it?
I
haven't
been
to
a
bank
teller
in
years.
If
there's
no
milkman
anymore,
people
like
that
ability
to
be
able
to
contribute,
provide
their
feedback
online
and
not
just
by
email,
actually
real-world
examples
using
their
tax
information
that
they
use
for
their
home
municipal
taxes
and
determine
what
the
increase
would
look
like.
I
thought
that
was
extremely
valuable.
Q
G
That
we're
in
a
very
condensed
cycle,
and
since
the
budget
cycle
has
changed
for
this
specific
period
because
of
the
election
is
this
something
that
we
can
look
at
reviewing
for
the
second
budget
that
will
be
coming
up
towards
the
end
of
this
year?
Reviewing
to
see
if
we
can
maybe
it's
an
education
element,
maybe
it's
something
that
counselors
can
help
push
it,
but
I
got
a
lot
of
great
feedback
from
a
lot
of
people
in
my
community.
G
I
got
a
lot
of
great
responses,
especially
the
second
year
and
I'd
like
to
see
that
back
twenty
thousand
dollars
in
a
consultation
process.
I,
don't
know
if
that's
the
end
of
the
world,
I
think
the
information
we
garner
back
from
it's
extremely
important
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
are
whether
they're
shut-ins
they
can't
get
out.
They
want
to
provide
that
specific
information
that
you
can't
get
in
an
email.
Do
we
have
the
opportunity
to
discuss
that
before
the
next
budget
cycle
comes
in.
Q
G
I'll
be
making
a
big
press
on
that
I'm
kind
of
set
back
I
wasn't
aware
that
we
had
lost
that
tool.
I
thought
it
was
a
great
tool.
Second,
we
also
made
a
big
push
last
year
and
mr.
man,
Kony
we've
talked
about
this
I
just
want
to
ensure
we're
on
track.
We
heard
at
the
door
several
times
about
roads,
roads,
roads
and
I.
Think
a
big
part
of
the
toolbox
we
need,
as
counselors
is
that
new
first
time
ever
we're
gonna
have
online
where
people
can
look
at
all
the
roads
online.
G
There
was
a
commitment
that
we
would
have
that
before
this
budget
cycle,
to
be
able
to
see
what
those
life
cycles
are
and
not
just
us
counselors,
which
we
don't
have
access
to
right
now
by
the
way
warning
new
counselors,
it's
painful
to
be
able
to
find
out
what
roads
need
life
cycle
maintenance,
but
in
the
new
world
the
public
will
see
along
with
us
which
roads
are
due
for
life
cycle.
When
the
last
time
they
were
done,
are
we
still
going
to
have
that
at
the
beginning
of
this
cycle?
Mr.
mayor,
it's
actually
our.
H
F
Thank
you
very
much.
I
just
wanted
to
talk
about
how
how
we
look
at
this
in
in
terms
of
a
budget
I'm
coming
from
the
school
board
as
well,
and
we
handled
almost
a
billion
dollars
in
in
a
budget,
and
we
had
to
make
cuts
and
we
had
to
do
things
that
were
we're
tough
decisions,
so
so
I
get
that
I
understand
that,
but
the
bottom
line
was
the
ultimate
goal,
was
investing
investing
well
at
the
school
board.
F
That's
an
obvious
one:
you're
investing
in
education,
you're,
investing
in
making
kids
better
and
and
having
great
graduates.
We
look
at
investments
here
too,
and
one
of
the
concerns
I
have
is
the
way
things
are
siloed
we're
talking
about
transit
in
a
separate
silo
from
transportation,
and
we're
don't
look
at
in
terms
of
you
know:
the
investment
we're
making
is
actually
saving
money.
So,
for
example,
you
know
the
LRT
is
very
clear.
We
made
a
big
lump
investment
because
we
clearly
saw
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
long
term
effect.
F
E
E
Willis
on
our
planning
and
infrastructure,
so
that
discussion
is
happening
and
it's
coming
to
a
focal
point
of
the
transportation
master
plan
which
is
going
to
be
arriving
at
least
the
first
tweaking
of
it,
probably
in
February
of
2019,
and
then
we'll
undertake
a
full
transportation
master
plan,
which
will
be
the
focal
point
of
discussion
of
where
council
wants
to
put
it
right,
priorities
with
respect
to
pedestrian,
cycling,
transit
and
and
vehicles.
So
that
is
coming
to
you
and
you'll
have
your
opportunity
there.
E
The
second
thing
that
I
want
to-
and
maybe
I
wasn't
so
clear
about-
is
on
the
city
strategic
plan,
which
will
be
council
priorities.
That
process
is
going
to
begin
in
the
spring,
probably
around
April,
and
run
right
into
probably
November
of
next
year,
with
discussion
with
councillors,
the
public
at
committee
and
your
opportunity
to
look
at
outcomes
because
I
think
that's
what
mr.
mayor,
the
counts
are
speaking
about
what
outcomes
we
want
for
this
city
and
having
that
discussion
around
how
you
measure
those
things,
what
things
we
want
to
track.
E
Where
do
you
want
to
put
your
investments
to
get
the
best
outcomes
based
on
what
you
think
are
important?
That
will
be
a
process
that
you'll
be
undertaking
over
a
six
month
period.
We
are
now
pulling
that
together,
based
on
all
the
foresight
sessions
we've
had
and
all
the
information
we
have.
We've
gathered
a
lot
of
material
that
from
council
and
from
our
work
and
thought
leaders
internationally
quite
frankly,
and
we
want
to
bring
that
back
to
council
to
give
you
an
opportunity
to
discuss.
E
F
S
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
recognize
that,
since
being
elected,
I
have
a
whole
new
appreciation
of
what
goes
into
this
budget
process
and
the
incredibly
talented
people
that
keep
us
informed.
That
answer
our
questions,
so
a
big.
Thank
you
for
that,
and
a
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
as
well.
I've
really
enjoyed
this
discussion
and
the
great
questions
that
have
been
raised
to
me.
S
I
wanted
to
just
make
a
few
points,
and
that
is
to
share
and
I'm
sure
many
of
my
colleagues
experienced
the
same
during
the
last
few
months
in
our
campaign
as
it
pertains
to
the
budget
and
that's
that
residents
are
demanding
value.
First
and
foremost,
it
is
value
that
matters
when
we
have
these
discussions
and
we
put
together
this
budget,
meaning
getting
the
basics
right,
delivering
the
best
possible
services
that
we
can
with
with
tax
dollars.
S
The
second
message
that
was
clear
to
me
throughout
throughout
my
campaign
was
the
concerns
around
affordability
and
I
share
those
concerns.
Of
course,
we
want
to
make
sure
no
one
is
left
behind
and
many
within
our
community
that
are
also
on
fixed
incomes.
I
know
that
Ottawa
is
not
necessarily
the
cheapest
place
in
our
country
to
live.
If
we
look
at
the
the
inflation
year-over-year
I
know,
as
recently
as
this
fall,
we
were
looking
at
just
over
three
percent,
which
is
above
the
national
average.
S
So
when
we
discuss
today,
the
reports
and
the
budget
directives
of
three
percent,
as
well
as
the
transit
levy
of
three
and
a
half
percent
increase,
I,
think
given
the
current
economic
climate,
I
believe
this
could
be
well
received,
but
only
when
we
focus
on
value
and
so
I
support
the
report
and
these
directives.
But
as
we
go
through
this
process,
my
focus
and
what
I'll
be
watching
and
hoping
to
contribute
to
is
ensuring
that
we
get
the
best
possible
value
through
this
process.
Thank
you.
Thank.
N
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I,
see
I'm
the
last
speaker
so
I'll
be
very
brief.
I
see
a
real
value
in
having
a
tax
target.
I
think
it's
important
that
we
give
staff
the
direction
they
need
to
establish
a
budget
that
is
in
the
ballpark
of
where
we
hope
to
end
up,
and
while
it's
true
there
was
some
confusion
about
whether
a
target
is
a
cap.
The
city
clerk
was
actually
very,
very
helpful
to
us
in
the
last
term
of
council.
N
Sorry,
while
council
has
established
specific
constraints
for
the
review
of
the
budgets
at
the
relevant
committee
commission,
as
we
did
last
week,
it
is
the
opinion
of
the
city,
clerk
and
solicitor
that
there
are
no
procedural
or
legal
constraints
preventing
council
and
committee
of
the
whole
from
approving
changes
to
the
draft
budget,
which
would
result
in
an
increase
or
decrease
to
the
tax
rate
above
whatever
the
target
is.
It
was
2%
last
time
it's
3%
for
us.
N
So
that
actually
gives
me
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
comfort
if
circumstances
change
or
something
happens
in
the
deliberation
and
a
majority
of
council
determined
that
they'd
like
to
spend
less
or
more
than
the
tax
target,
then
the
city
clerk
has
made
it
clear
that
council
has
that
ability,
so
that
that
reassurance
gives
me
comfort
that
asking
staff
to
build
a
draft
budget
out
of
a
particular
target
is
both
useful
and
does
not
tie
our
hands.
That
committee
the
whole
lot
Council.
If
there
are
reasons
to
hear
from
that,
thank
you.
A
A
So
I
will
we've
got
a
couple
of
one
motion
here
from
councillor
brockington
and
bleh
with
respect
to
the
transit
levy,
so
I
think
we
heard
I
think
councillor,
you
were
getting
a
coffee
when
I
think
mister
man
Kony
explained
what
was
happening
with
with
those
funds.
So
on
that
motion
carried
the
next
is
a
direction
to
staff.
Counselor
Menard
I'm
going
to
not
support
this
and
ask
for
yeas
and
nays.
A
A
So
we've
been
told
by
I
think
councillor
hubely
asks
a
question:
what
would
be
the
revenue
loss
for
the
city
and
just
to
repeat
it,
I
believe
mr.
franconi,
it's
4.7
million
for
a
year
and
obviously
9.4
million
for
two
years,
and
we
have
to
find
that
money
somewhere
and
it
would
have
to
come
from
the
transit
budget
and
I
was
told
mr.
mank.
Only
the
options
are
basically
cuts
to
service,
because
that's
really
the
only
thing
you
can
cut
or
personnel
I
suppose,
which
would
be
a
cut
to
service.
Is
that
correct.
O
A
For
my
colleagues
from
the
suburbs
that
have
had
enormous
pressure
with
the
lack
of
bus
service,
this
motion
when,
in
essence,
we'd,
have
to
find
that
four
point:
seven
million
dollars
and
the
only
new
revenue
really
above
and
beyond
the
inflationary
increase,
is
that
five
million
dollars
as
a
result
of
going
to
the
three
point:
five
percent
transit
levy.
So
you
know
that
the
reality
is
unless
you're
prepared
to
give
staff
some
direction
on
where
to
find
the
money.
I,
don't
think
we
can
in
good
conscience,
go
and
tell
people
we're
gonna!
A
M
M
A
Right,
that's
withdrawing.
Thank
you.
Next
is
councillor
Dean's
direction.
With
respect
to
the
police
budget,
their
greed,
councillor
egg
lies
Direction.
The
staff
with
respect
to
the
tornado
agreed
agreed
councillor.
Lee
/
wanted
a
separate.
Were
you
just
going
to
dissent
on
a
number
one
councillor.
I
A
So
well,
I
think
only
you're,
only
separating
one
so
we'll
have
a
gaze
in
a
on
one
and
then
we
can
vote
on
the
rest.
Okay,
so
this
is
yeas
and
nays
have
been
called.
This
is
item
one
on
page
15,
and
this
is
setting
the
cap
at
no
more
than
three
percent
for
2019.
So
I'd
encourage
members
of
council
to
support
this.
We
need
to
give
direction
to
staff,
otherwise,
as
I
think
the
city
manager
said
very
clearly
every
member
of
that
senior
management
team.
A
If
we
asked
would
you
like
more
money
than
you're
getting
they
put
their
hand
up?
Of
course
they
would
who
wouldn't
but
I
think
we
also
have
to
have
some
degree
of
control
and
restraint
to
ensure
that
the
public
have
some
predictability
when
it
comes
to
their
their
tax
bill.
You
know:
I
met
McCann
made
a
lot
of
seniors,
who
I
call
their
house
rich
and
cash
poor,
because
they've
been
living
in
this
house
for
20
30
50
years,
and
it's
gone
up
in
value
and
market
value
assessment,
as
we
all
know
is
another
factor.
A
We
have
no
control
over
and
they're
moving
out
of
their
home,
not
for
health
reasons,
but
because
they
can't
afford
the
property
taxes
their
mortgage
free,
but
they
have
a
big
house.
They
may
be
a
widow
or
a
widower
and
I
think
we.
We
need
to
ensure
that
the
public
understand
that
we're
doing
our
best
to
control
our
spending,
so
we
can
control
their
taxes
number
one
and
secondly,
that
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
staff
needs
some
guidelines.
Otherwise,
it's
a
complete
blue
sky.
A
Where
everyone
throws
everything
in
then
we
have
to
go
through
this
terrible
exercise
where
we
start
cutting
to
bring
it
down
to
a
reasonable
level.
So
you
know,
I
would
strongly
encourage
those
members
of
council
to
support
item
number
one
by
voting
YES
to
at
least
give
our
staff
some
direction.
I
think
I
can't
think
of
any
organization
whose
board
of
directors
and
that's
what
we
are
would
not
set
parameters
for
the
CEO
and
the
senior
management
for
their
budget,
whether
it's
a
multinational
corporation,
a
Community
Association.
A
A
P
F
F
H
A
A
So
counselor
place
I'm
gonna
bite,
counselor
hubely,
if
you
would
like
to
since
we're
not
going
in
camera
just
for
new
members
of
council.
This
is
pretty
common
when
we
have
a
collective
agreement
most
of
the
time
unless
there's
a
dispute
between
the
Union
and
ourselves
or
the
you
know
that
the
staff
have
to
get
a
mandate
back
above
and
beyond
what
we
settled
in
camera.
A
K
A
P
Thank
you,
sir.
This
is
a
motion.
I
mentioned
it
briefly
last
week,
there's
a
trust
fund
that
was
set
up
after
the
passing
of
mrs.
Regina
Falls
and
the
trust
fund
is
built
so
that
the
interest
built
on
it
can
actually
be
paid
back
into
anything
for
Centennial,
Park
humanity.
She
actually
set
up
a
similar
one
for
the
library
humanity.
So
the
community
is
a
community
organization
in
Mantic.
That's
looking
to
renew
Centennial
Park,
specifically
the
portion
that
features
the
outdoor
rank.
P
The
basketball
court
in
the
skate
park
we're
working
on
a
plan
to
do
that.
They're
gonna
submit
a
major
capital
building,
grant
application
for
that,
but
in
the
meantime
they
want
to
create
a
concept
plan
for
the
park.
They
have
some
money
that
they've
applied
for
elsewhere
and
then
they
want
to
match
it
through
the
georgina
Falls
trust
fund
so
therefore
be
resolved
at
$5,500,
be
transferred
from
the
georgina
Falls
trust
fund
for
the
purposes
of
developing
a
concept
plan
for
Centennial
Park
in
manitech.
Oh
sorry,
it's
actually
directly.
A
B
A
Not
use
the
tax
Stabilization
Fund
for
these
kinds
of
purposes.
I
know
it's
a
relatively
small
amount,
but
I've
encouraged
members
of
council
to
work
with
with
staff.
I
know
there
were
lots
of
meetings
back
and
forth
and
there's
some
issues
with
people's
driveways
and
so
on,
but
I
don't
think
it
was
the
intended
purpose.
The
Stabilization
Fund
to
use
this,
but
given
the
amount
and
we're
in
winter
season
now
I
think
it's
reasonable.
So,
on
the
motion
carried
motions
requiring
suspension
of
the
rules
of
procedure,
is
there
any
motion
that
would
require
suspension?
H
We
should
math
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
simply
putting
a
notice
of
motion
for
consideration
by
Council
in
January
and
thank
you
for
councillor
harder
for
her.
Her
input
in
this
and
her
support
in
this
just
asking
Catalans
corporation
and
the
Government
of
Canada
on
two
important
parcels
to
land
within
the
Ward.
That
I
represent
AltaVista
the
former
Federal
Study
Center
and
5:30
Tremblay
Road
for
substantive
and
good
engagement
with
with
the
community
and
asking
the
mayor
to
to
write
to
our
local
representatives
to
to
convey
councils
request
on.
G
H
H
A
P
P
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
environment,
client
Protection
Committee
be
renamed
the
Standing
Committee
on
water,
waste
and
environmental
protection
and
be
it
FURTHER
RESOLVED
that
climate
impact
lens
be
considered
for
the
template
for
all
Standing
Committee
reports,
and
that
this
be
considered.
This,
be
that
this
consideration
be
referred
to.
The
midterm
governance
review
be
further
resolved
that
a
comprehensive
review
of
all
lenses
be
included
in
the
midterm
government
review
so
as
to
ensure
efficient
and
meaningful
reporting
to
committees
and
Council
I
have
discussed
this
with
a
number
of
individuals.
P
That's
are
heavily
involved
with
our
mandate
at
the
Environment
Committee
and
I
will
continue
to
do
so
between
now
and
January.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
a
it's
something
that
is
supportive
and
understand.
People
understand
what
what
the
purpose
here
is
and
climate
change
to
see
at
the
top
of
it.
We
have
this
in
our
Chairman
counts
priority
it's
top
of
this
and
it
belongs
to
every
committee.
So
the
lens
is
supposed
to
achieve
that
and
we'll
talk
more
about
that
I
know.
College
Ottawa
is
working
with
Stephen
Willis
on
that.
A
A
A
M
A
I
think
you
have
all
that
information,
mr.

Coney,
so
it
won't
be
a
long
report
just
to
remind
everyone.
We
have
our
special

tomorrow.
