The
pros
I
also
very
pleased
that
Director
General
of
the
Ottawa
Police
Service
Deborah
Fraser,
is

Chief
Borla
would
very
much
like

he's

town
on
business
and
we
have
Geoffrey
Linklater
music,
director
I
know
Barbara
Duggan

but
she's
not

Welcome
Deborah
and
colleagues
and
family
members
of
the
choir
are

I'm
also
pleased
to
inform
you
that
members,
the
Ottawa
police
chorus
will
perform
go
now
and

following
the
presentation.
The
Auto
Police
course
was
created
in
1972
and
celebrates
its
35th
anniversary
this
year.
Three
of
the
original
tenors
remain
singing
at
the
cause:

Barry
Paul
Russell
and

a

or
Jean
Jean
Jose.
A
The
mission
of
the
Ottawa
police
chorus
is
to
enhance
the
image
the
Ottawa
Police
Service
through
song,
to
accomplish
this
goal:
the
chorus
sings
at
a
multiplicity
of
events,
large
and
small,
including
cultural
events,
retirement
homes,
concerts,
Christmas
parties
in
the
community.
Let
me
show
the
crowd:

H
A
Annually
since
1978
at
the
Canadian
National
Police
memorial
service
on
Parliament
Hill,
they
are
privileged
to
stand
with
other
police
choruses
from
across
Canada
on
the
steps
of
Parliament
Hill
every
September
to
honor
the
sacrifice
of
fallen
officers
at
the
National
Peace
monument,
the
chorus
sings
and
four-part
harmony,
singing
a
varied
repertoire
of
classical
popular
and
jazz.
Some
challenging
and
all
rewarding
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
the
Ottawa
police
course
for
their
many
contributions
to
the
community
and
the
entire
city.
General
sisy.
I'd.
A
A
performer,
of
course,
perform
at
many
different
events.
They
always
are
so
impressed
with
how
disciplined
they
are
I
guess
you
have
to
be
with
your
groupies
chorus,
but
I'm
very
impressed
with
the
great
work
that
Barbara
does.
The
manager
require
and
I
know.
Geoffrey
Linkletter
will
say
a
few
words
before
the
performance,
so
I'm
going
to
ask
Heather
to
remove
the
certificate
and
we're
going
to
present
this
to
Jeffrey
on
behalf
of
the
whole
chorus
Jeffrey
right
over
here,
Kathryn,
the
Neil
on.
D
Mirjam
Watson
counselor
here
I
else
on
Terry
councillor,
Katherine,
McKinney
and
Debra
Fraser
members
and
special
guests
in
the
pleasure
and
an
honor
for
me
to
accept
this
prestigious
award
on
behalf
of
the
Ottawa
police
chorus.
I
wish
everybody
here
had
been
at
our
rehearsal
when
the
announcement
was
made
that
the
OPC
had
been
selected
as
a
recipient
of
the
Moores
city
builder
award.
There
was
this
long
10
years,
outburst
of
applause
and
cheering
in
fact,
Mel
Watson.
We
received
a
standing
ovation,
we're
absolutely
thrilled
and
grateful
now.
D
Watson
I'd
like
to
take
this
moment
to
congratulate
you
and
to
thank
you
and
the
council
for
creating
this
award.
I
know
there
are
so
many
people,
and
so
many
organizations
in
the
City
of
Ottawa,
who
deserve
to
be
recipients
of
this
award.
Awards
like
this
are
so
essential.
In
today's
society
we
are
constantly
saturated
with
media
reports
about
the
acts
of
violence
and
hatred
that
occur
every
day
around
the
world
and,
unfortunately,
the
far
more
numerous
acts
of
kindness
of
caring
and
dedication
are
pushed
into
the
background.
D
I
think
we
need
even
more
Awards
like
this,
to
celebrate
the
ongoing
and
continuous
efforts
of
the
citizens
of
Ottawa,
who
make
this
such
a
wonderful
city
to
live
in
I'd,
also
like
to
interject
here
and
say
in
to
Deborah
phrase,
or
if
you
pass
this
on.
Please
to
the
Ottawa
police
course
will
receive
such
wonderful
support
and
encouragement
from
the
chief
all
the
way
down
to
the
ranks
of
the
Ottawa
Police
Service.
And
we
do
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
So
much.
D
D
Songs
like
the
Sounds
of
Silence
that
talks
about
listening
to
people
and
hearing
what
they
have
to
say
or
bridge
over
troubled
waters.
That
says,
when
you're
down
and
out
my
friend
I
will
comfort
you
or
my
own
personal
favorite.
He
ain't
heavy
he's
my
brother,
my
sister,
my
mother,
my
father,
my
friend
my
neighbor.
D
A
Well,
thank
you
very
very
much
for
that
beautiful
rendition
and
thank
you
for
the
great
work
you
do
in
the
community
for
next
presentation,
I'd
like
to
invite
Heather
Murphy
to
come
forward.
Her
ward
councillor,
Maryann
Wilkinson
and
councillor
Diane
Dean's,
co-chair
of
the
city
of
Ottawa's
roundtable
on
seniors
to
come
forward
and
join
me.
I'd,
also
recognized
in
the
gallery.
We
have
Daniel
McDonald
CEO
of
Ottawa
Public
Library,
Monique,
desarrollo,
deputy
CEO
and
representatives
from
the
Friends
of
the
Ottawa
Public
Library,
and
come
on
in
here.
Heather
you're,
the
star
of
the
show.
K
A
A
A
Year
award
gives
each
municipality
all
444
in
Ontario
the
opportunity
to
honor
one
outstanding
local
Ontarian
who,
after
the
age
of
65,
has
enriched
the
social,
cultural
or
civic
light
of
his
or
her
community.
Heather
has
served
on
the
Friends
of
the
Ottawa
Public
Library
Association
Board,
since
2007
joining
Focus
local
committee
representative
for
Canada
the
position
she
currently
holds.
She
has
also
served,
as
vice
president
in
Kotori
at
various
times,
and
our
ocap
she's.
A
Approximately
60
volunteers
who
work
in
folklore,
bookstores
book
sales
at
the
beaver
book,
Hazeldine
and
cart
branches,
she's
also
the
store
manager
at
the
Hazeldine
branch
and
is
on
a
coordination
team
of
the
beaver
book
branch.
Heather
was
part
of
the
original
management
team
that
opened
the
first
faultless
store
in
Canada
at
the
Hazelden
branch
in
the
fall
of
2007.
She
also
oversaw
the
opening
of
the
folk
la
bookstore
at
the
new
beaver
book
branch
which
opened
in
the
fall
of
2014
and
since
the
creation
of
Heather's
local
committee
in
2007.
A
The
book
sales
have
reached
a
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars
when
Heather
stepped
up
to
an
open
call
for
creative
volunteers.
In
2007
there
were
no
permanent
folklore
book
sale
locations
in
the
West
End
Heather
took
on
the
challenge
of
establishing
the
westerns
first
dedication
space
sales
space
at
the
Hazelden
branch
and
has
never
looked
back.
Heather
accept
a
new
defeat.
Heather.
A
2007
and
2014
Heather
work
closely
with
Hazeldine
branch
staff
and
community
volunteers
through
three
different
incarnations
of
the
original
book
nook
as
space
requirements
that
the
branch
changed
and
evolved
without
a
doubt.
Heather
is
passionate
about
supporting
a
library
and
as
a
devoted,
countless
hours
to
ensuring
fo+
success
in
the
city's
West
End
look
I
saw
the
Heather
Poonam
Heather.
G
E
I'm
not
used
to
public
speaking,
so
thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
Merrick,
it's
a
Wilkinson
capsule
being
romantic
ounces
and
the
rest
of
the
here.
I
am
incredibly
honored
and
also
very
humbled
to
have
been
selected
to
receive
this
award
from,
amongst
all
the
wonderful
seniors
in
Ottawa
who
volunteer
their
time,
energy
and
talents
to
make
this
a
better
community
in
which
to
live.
In
my
case,
as
the
mayor
said,
I
chose
the
Friends
of
the
Ottawa
Public
Library,
Association
or
copla,
or
perhaps
more
accurately
it
chose
me.
E
I
have
worked
or
volunteered
in
libraries
since
I
was
about
10
years
old
and
very
much
believed
that
they
provide
a
tremendous
value
to
the
community.
So
when
I
saw
an
article
in
the
kinetic
curio
standard
a
few
months
after
I
retired
but
was
looking
for
volunteers
for
the
new
Self
Serve
bookstore
in
the
Hazeldine
branch,
it
seemed
like
a
good
fit
for
me.
I
applied
and
have
been
going
doing
there
ever
since
I
would
like
to
thank
the
Ottawa
Public
Library
for
providing
me
with
this
opportunity.
E
It
has
been
very
supportive
of
focus
efforts
throughout
the
years.
The
libraries
management
team
works
with
the
folklore
board
to
ensure
that
things
run
smoothly
and
that
the
funds
raised
by
folk
law
are
well
spent
and
the
library
staff
has
been
a
real
pleasure
to
work
with.
They
are
always
helpful
and
understanding
of
our
intrusions
into
their
space.
I
will
also
like
to
thank
Folklife.
It
has
been
a
wonderful
organization
to
volunteer,
for
its
mission
is
to
support
the
Ottawa
Public
Library
through
fundraising,
advocacy
and
literacy
activities.
E
It
raises
funds
by
selling
books
donated
by
the
community
in
most
of
the
library's
branches
when
I
started.
Believe
Hazeldine
was
the
8th
or
9th
branch
to
have
a
football
bookstore.
We
now
have
football
bookstores
in
28
of
the
33
branches.
We
have
also
more
than
doubled
the
amount
that
we
were
able
to
give
to
the
library
each
year
in
2016,
the
amount
gifted
was
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
The
funds
are
used
by
the
library
to
purchase
items
or
support
programs
that
cannot
otherwise
that
it
could
not
otherwise
afford.
E
For
each
of
its
33
branches.
Each
branch
is
usually
able
to
purchase
something
with
okhla
funds
every
year.
Larger
amounts
are
given
in
special
cases
such
as
renovations
in
my
particular
case
in
the
West
End
Hazeldine
received
30,000
dollars
for
its
renovations
in
2012
and
beaver
book
received
$100,000
when
it
was
converted
from
a
community
to
a
district
library
in
2014.
E
E
Finally,
I
would
like
to
circle
back
to
the
menu
seniors
who
volunteer
in
many
different
ways
in
the
community,
in
libraries
and
hospitals
in
seniors
and
youth
organizations.
The
list
goes
on
to
me.
They
are
an
invaluable
resource
for
the
community.
I
am
glad
that
Ontario
has
set
up
this
award
program
to
recognize
their
service.
I
am
very
honored
and
very
honored
and
humbled
to
have
been
recognized
in
this
way
today.
Thank
you.

A
City
of
Ottawa
John
has
also
served
as
general
manager
of
planning
and
growth
management
and,
more
recently,
the
acting
general
manager
of
planning
infrastructure
and
economic
development
I
understand
that
one
of
John's,
proudest
accomplishments
and
I
mentioned
this
year
of
the
day
in
his
career
was
the
role
as
chair
of
the
2001
amalgamation
day.
One
readiness
committee,
which
ensured
that
all
planning
and
building
processes
were
under
what
business's
usual
on
the
opening
day
of
the
new
city,
you
could
imagine,
taking
regional
bylaws
and
ten
municipalities
all
coming
together
to
make
sure
we're
ready
in
2001.
A
A
more
recent
accomplishment
was
the
approval
by
City
Council
in
2013
of
the
city's
Official
Plan
transportation
infrastructure,
cycling
plans
which
were
guide
the
city's
growth
into
the
future,
with
an
emphasis
on
affordability
throughout
his
career
John's
work,
demonstrators,
belief
in
teamwork,
creative
problem-solving
setting
goals,
quality
service
and
being
responsive
to
the
public.
These
beliefs
have
served
him
well
throughout
his
career
and
has
provided
truly
outstanding
service
to
the
community
civil
al-nour,
accompanied
these.

Armand
and
the
photograph
that
we're
going
to
present
to
you
is
one
of
John's
favorite
views
of
the
city,
the
one
he
had
from
his
office
window,
where
every
day
he
could
see
the
Peace
Tower
and
the
flags
flying
on
the
plaza
and
be
proud
to
be
living
and
working
in
Ottawa

for
your
kind
words
and
recognizing
my
27
year,

Ottawa
and
to

residents.
As
I
said
many
times
over
my
career
I.
D
They've
always
been
taught
by
many
city
clerk's
over
the
years
and
in
others
to
be
briefed
that
council
and
whenever
possible,
to
answer
a
question
with
yes
or
no.
So
following
that
fine
tradition,
I
will
be
proactive
and
answer
some
possible
questions.
People
may
have
so
yes,
I
have
left
the
employ
of
the
city.
Yes,
I
will
continue
to
be
interested
in

of

albeit
from

will
trigger
your

If

me
with
respect
as
I
transition
from
the
employ
of
the
city
allowed
me
to
complete
some
important
projects
allowed
for
orderly
transition
from
straw
Willis
with
who
you
will
be
in
good
hands
allowed
me
to
retrain
myself
to
be
self-sufficient
and
thereby
preparing
for
the
next
stage
in
my
life
and
in
my
career.
So
thank
you
all
very
much
I
will
miss
you
all.
A
Well,
thank
you
very,
very
much.
John
final
presentation.
I'd
ask
Michael,
made
men
from
the
the
executive
director
of
the
Ottawa
Food
Bank
to
come
forward.
Some
of
you
have
noticed
I
and
I
was
booed
as
I
came
in
here
I.
Thank
you
for
that
I'm
wearing
a
Penguin's,
Jersey
and
Michael
hello,
Hawaii
he's
wearing
a
fence
jersey
which
I'd
rather
be
wearing.
So
let's
hear
it
for
Michael
and
the
food
bank.
A
So,
as
you
know,
mayor's
have
these
cheesy
bets
with
other
mayor's
when
teams
get
into
the
playoffs
and
we're
no
exception.
We
had
a
bet
with
the
mayor
of
Pittsburgh
and
I'm
going
to
say
it
was
an
amazing
series.
The
sense
did
us
proud.
It
was
lots
of
ups
and
downs,
that's
for
sure
jury
the
games,
but
obviously
the
Pens
went
on
to
win
the
Stanley
Cup.
A
So
we
take
a
little
bit
of
comfort
that
we're
defeated
by
the
best
team
in
the
NHL
of
this
season
and
part
of
the
bat
was
of
course,
to
wear
the
jersey
to
a
council
meeting
and
the
other
part
from
a
philanthropic
point
of
view,
was
the
losing
their
would
donate.
Ten
dollars
a
goal
from
the
winning
team,
so
they
the
Pens,
scored
16
goals
and
I'm
very
pleased
to
provide
this
beautiful
novelty
cheque,
as
well
as
the
real
check
from
for
me
personally
to
the
food
bank,
four
hundred
and
sixty
dollars.
A
H

A
A
A
Between
municipalities
and
the
two
other
levels
of
government
on
how
best
to
coordinate
efforts
that
will
lead
to
a
reduction
of
overdose
deaths
across
Canada,
including
our
city,
what
is
clear
is
that
we
will
only
start
to
see
real
change
by
working
with
our
community
partners
on
a
nimble
and
responsive
multifaceted
strategy.
Cities
are
on
the
frontlines
of
this
public
health
crisis.
We
have
to
work
together
as
a
community
to
save
lives.
Ottawa
Public
Health
can't
do
this
on
its
own.
A
We
have
learned
from
examples
in
British
Columbia
that
the
crisis
requires
new
ways
of
thinking
and
a
coordinated
approach
to
combat
its
momentum
and
persistence.
Despite
efforts,
this
curse
is
escalated,
as
crisis
is
escalating.
In
the
last
few
weeks
and
months,
we
have
started
to
see
a
response
by
upper
levels
of
government.
Over
the
last
year,
I
have
received
regular
updates
by
staff
on
what
we
are
doing
in
Ottawa
and
I
can
tell
you
that
staff
is
busy
on
the
ground
delivering
services
to
those
in
need
and
their
families.
A
A
Only
with
each
other
and
other
levels
of
government,
but
also
with
our
school
boards,
community
health,
centers
parent
groups,
first
responders
and,
of
course,
hospitals,
coroner's,
mental
health
professionals,
housing
and
homelessness
groups
and
our
public
health
agencies.
I
believe
that
our
shared
goal
and
focus
on
how
best
to
make
meaningful
change
on
the
ground
will
translate
in
a
decree
and
drug
misuse
and
overdose.
In
time
we
have
to
be
realistic.
There
are
no
overnight
solutions
to
addiction.
You
Duvall
at
the
very
least
yep.
We.
A
A
to
public
education
to
keep
people
safe
from
risky
opioids
action
to
stem
the
production
and
importation
of
street
drugs
and
better
access
to
affordable
housing,
mental
health
support
and
clear
path,
pathways
out
of
poverty
in
2015,
Ottawa
Public
Health
strengthened
our
opioid
community
response
network,
which
is
called
the
Ottawa
overdose
prevention
and
response
task
force.
This
task
force
was
struck
after
a
series
of
overdoses,
occur
during
a
summer
festival
and
has
been
actively
engaged
without
reach
and
prevention
ever
since
led
by
Ottawa
Public
Health.
A
The
task
force
also
includes
representatives
from
many
community
health
agencies,
social
agencies,
pharmacies,
coroner's
office,
local
hospitals,
the
Police
Service
City
of
Ottawa
departments,
including
fire
and
paramedic.
The
sea
LED
community
effort
has
already
undertaken
many
activities
and
has
done
significant
work,
including
improved
reporting,
outreach,
education
and
training
to
name
just
a
few.
Earlier
this
year.
The
task
force
function
well
as
an
early
warning
system
by
alerting
the
public
to
a
spike
of
life-threatening
drug
overdose,
related
emergency
department
visits
and
to
the
introduction
of
counterfeit
pills
laced
with
fentanyl
in
the
area.
A
We're
also
working
with
the
champlain
local
health
integration
network
to
identified
service
gaps
and
opportunities
to
adjust,
Mental,
Health
and
Addiction
Services
to
better
assist
those
who
live
with
problematic
substance
use,
as
well
as
their
parents,
families,
siblings
and
friends.
Over
the
last
few
days,
the
Champlain
local
health
integration
Network
has
introduced
a
number
of
short-term
opioid
response
strategies.
It
is
my
understanding
that
the
province
has
recently
increased
funding
to
the
Champlain
Lin.
A
A
For
example,
excuse
me:
Ottawa,
Public
Health
is
working
with
security
companies
in
festival,
organizers
by
providing
them
with
valuable
partysafe
information
to
reduce
harm
to
festival,
goers
overdoses,
whether
from
drugs,
alcohol
or
combination
of
both
are
preventable.
If
you're
going
out
over
the
summer
to
festivals,
be
safe
and
be
prepared,
Ottawa
Public
Health
has
many
resources
available
online
to
help
you
and
your
loved
one
stay
safe.
This
summer,
Sifu
Colt
a
fairly
fed.
If.
A
The
use
of
Public
Health
Ontario's
new,
interactive
opioid
tool
for
information
on
trends
in
opioid
use,
as
well
as
publishing
our
own
monthly
local
surveillance,
diet,
data,
we're
also
increasing
the
naloxone
access
and
training.
We
continue
to
reach
out
to
local
pharmacists,
to
support
the
provision
of
naloxone
in
the
community,
creating
a
distribution
list
of
providers
and
promoting
availability
to
residents.
A
In
the
last
year,
160
pharmacies
have
collectively
distributed
more
than
4000
naloxone
kits
we're
facilitating
training
on
how
to
respond
to
an
overdose
using
alloxan
for
staff
and
volunteers
at
Ottawa,
shelters,
downtown
bars
and
festivals,
we're
purchasing
the
auxin
and
have
provided
training
to
all
45
fire
stations
in
the
City
of
Ottawa.
In
total,
six
hundred
urban
firefighters
and
165
volunteer
firefighters
have
been
trained
to
date.
A
Yesterday,
I
was
joined
by
counselors,
Tierney
and
Dean's,
as
well
as
councillor
Qadri
and
councillor
hubely,
to
witness
the
completion
of
firefighter
training
in
the
use
of
naloxone
at
the
training
center
in
Alta
Vista.
Similarly,
we
are
preparing
for
Ottawa
police
service
members
to
administer
naloxone
when
needed.
On
Monday,
the
province
announced
funding
for
the
distribution
of
almost
80,000
additional
lofts
and
kits
per
year
to
frontline
organizations
across
Ontario.
A
Ottawa
has
also
also
has
a
well-developed
awareness
and
prevention
information
campaign,
focusing
on
both
youth
and
adults.
Last
November,
the
overdose
prevention
in
response
to
a
taskforce
launched
a
collaborative
public
awareness
campaign,
called
stop
overdose,
Ottawa
dot
CA.
This
online
hub
contains
up-to-date
information
Ottawa
specific
on
opioids.
Since
its
launch,
this
site
has
recorded
over
25,000
visits.
We
are
engaging
with
all
four
school
boards:
the
Ottawa
Police
Service.
A
We
know
what
addictions
and
Family
Services
and
Mazal
fertility
day
as
well
as
student
leaders
to
develop
a
youth
to
youth
approach
to
better
engage
our
youth
public
health
nurses
in
collaboration
with
our
partners,
have
increased
the
number
of
age-appropriate
presentations
to
Grade
four
to
grade
12
students
and
since
the
beginning
of
the
year,
we
have
reached
close
to
6,000
students.
Additionally,
we
have
offered
more
than
50
community
information
sessions
for
youth
parents
and
teachers
and
offered
for
Facebook
live
sessions
which
drew
more
than
20,000
viewers.
A
Existing
harm
reduction
services
have
also
best
of
the
capacity
to
help
people
who
regularly
use
substance
substances
who
are
at
the
greatest
risk
of
overdose,
and
we
will
be
doing
in
the
coming
days
since
the
province
recently
announced
new
base
funding
of
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
the
Ottawa
Public
Health
Unit
to
directly
support
a
local
substance,
abuse
misuse
strategy.
This
will
help
us
coordinate
enhanced
community-wide
support.
A
Ottawa
has
a
plan
with
clear
priorities
and
we're
ready
to
turn
this
funding
into
support
on
the
ground
for
residents
and
families
and
for
people
with
chronic
dependence
to
illicit
substances.
This
funding
will
not
only
help
with
the
purchase
of
overdose
prevention
supplies
to
frontline
agencies.
It
will
also
help
to
get
more
people
who
lived
with
lived
experiences.
Working
one-on-one
with
individuals,
usually.
A
Towards
prevention
and
treatment,
we
realize
the
reality
and
gravity
of
this
situation,
because
the
availability
of
more
potent
drugs
and
drugs
laced
with
fentanyl
is
in
fact
increasing,
and
the
instances
of
use
and
older
ghosts
are
increasing,
with
some
of
other
us
with
some
other
public
health
issues
such
as
infectious
disease
outbreaks
or
the
flu
season.
We
typically
start
to
see,
we
see
a
start
and
an
end
with
overdoses
relating
to
opioids.
A
That
being
said,
ongoing
federal
and
provincial
support
continues
to
be
badly
needed
so
that
we
can
sustain
the
continuum
of
actions
needed
to
manage
this
ongoing
issue
in
March,
I
spoke
directly
to
premier
Wynne
about
ottawa's
need
for
immediate
funding,
and
just
last
week
we
started
to
see
the
first
installment
of
that
commitment.
I'm
actively
engaged
on
these
issues
on
counsels
behalf
with
Canada's
big-city
mayor's
caucus
through
the
Federation
of
Canadian
Minister
dollars.
A
The
beginning
of
June
BC
MC
presented
a
list
of
concrete
recommendations
to
the
government
of
Canada
to
help
ensure
that
any
opioid
funding
meets
the
immediate
needs
of
cities
and
our
frontline
workers.
Earlier
this
week,
I
also
participate
in
the
discussion
with
Ontario's
big
city
mayors
on
this
issue.
This
was
a
constructive
dialogue
in
which
innovative
local
solutions
from
different
municipalities
were
shared.
This
is
a
big
issue
to
tackle
and
it
spans
many
different
demographics.
A
A
Basil
Burton
need
a
leader,
wood
addiction
and
Family
Services,
the
Champaign
Lin
substance,
abuse
and
youth
and
schools
coalition,
the
Ottawa
Network
for
education
and
the
United
Way
sautéed
Ottawa
in
2015-2016
about
4,000
high
school
students,
8200
grade
7
and
8
students
and
3,000
parents
attended
education
and
Prevention
classes.
The
same
year,
more
than
1,400
students
receive
counseling
services
from
the
school-based
program
and
over
200
parents
engaged
in
counseling
services.
A
While
step
has
been
a
wonderful
partner
in
helping
us
reach,
youth
and
their
parents,
additional
services
and
resources
are
required
where
there's
a
demonstrated
need
specifically
for
services
for
people
with
chronic
dependence
on
illicit
substances.
Lately,
a
lot
of
focus
and
support
has
been
focused
on
youth
and
their
parents,
but
we
also
know
we
need
to
offer
supports
to
other
vulnerable
populations,
including
people
in
shelters
and
people
with
mental
illness
and
drug
addictions.
A
I
firmly
believe
we
need
a
holistic
approach
to
tackle
this
crisis
from
a
variety
of
angles
and
with
many
partners
in
order
to
reach
all
our
vulnerable
populations
and
to
meet
people
where
they
are
in
their
journey.
This
includes
early
supports
for
parents,
raising
young
children,
mental
health
and
resources
to
promote
resiliency
equipment
and
training
for
first
responders
and
frontline
service
providers,
treatment
options
for
those
who
seek
them
harm
reduction
services
for
those
who
need
them
safe
and
adequate
housing
for
those
who
are
struggling.
A
As
you
can
see
from
my
comments
today,
Ottawa's
response
to
this
crisis
has,
to
date,
involved
extraordinary
efforts
from
various
city
services
and
numb,
and
a
number
of
community
partners.
I
want
to
thank
the
province
of
Ontario
for
their
efforts
to
address
the
opioid
crisis,
particularly
the
Ontario
strategy,
to
prevent
opioid
addiction
and
overdose
general
MFC.
The
province
also
like.
A
We
can
make
a
significant
difference.
All
three
levels
of
government
need
to
continue
to
coordinate
the
response,
so
that
funds
are
actually
removing
barriers
to
people
getting
help
on
the
ground.
That's
why
I'm
grateful
to
many
counselors
who
have
been
active
in
the
communities
by
hosting
training
and
information
sessions
and
by
helping
parents
and
families
navigate
the
treatment
options
available
across
the
committee.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
sincerely
councillor
sad
Qadri
share
the
public
health
who's
taken,
a
leadership
role
on
this
file
and
the
good
work
that
you
and
dr.

have
done.

all
of

and,
of
course,
the
community
partners
for
the
tireless
work
to
date
and
their
ongoing
leadership.
In
particular.
Canada
councils,
Allen,
Healey
and
Mary
Anne
Wilkinson
have
also
been
in
constant
contact
with
families
in
their
communities
that
have
seen
unthinkable
heartbreak.
A
This
past
winter
I'd
like
to
thank
all
councillors
for
your
efforts
to
date.
I
wish
I
could
say
that
this
that
the
job
is
done.
Unfortunately,
with
substance
misuse,
we
have
learned
that
and
sustained
efforts
will
be
required
to
that
end.
Towards
that
end,
rather,
city
staff
will
be
stepping
up
their
efforts
to
coordinate
communication
efforts
in
the
coming
weeks.
A
Through
a
public
information
campaign,
there
will
be
a
push
to
promote
and
inform
residents
and
visitors
about
how
to
access
help
from
community
service
providers
reminders
to
stay
safe
while
celebrating
and
to
support
residents
who
are
seeking
resources
for
themselves
or
for

ones.

by
which

are

by
which

are

for

for

and
for
various
partnerships,
we've
recently
announced
an
acquisition,
which
was
the
933
Broadstone.
We've
also
hosted
a
series
of
meetings
with
the
private
sector
to
discuss
opportunities
to
partner
with
us
and
for
us
to
partner
with
them
and
that's
been
well-received
across
our
city.
Specifically
in
terms
of
our
tenant
experience
a
couple
of
initiatives.
L
You
should
be
aware
of,
obviously
our
focus
in
elevators.
We
have
one
of
the
biggest
portfolio
of
elevators
of
any
corporation
in
our
city,
making
our
least
is
a
lot
more
friendlier
for
tenants
who
might
have
language
barriers
so
using
images.
The
smoke-free
unit,
which
continues
to
be
one
of
our
prime
success,
the
one
one
number
as
a
corporation
and
again
elevating
standards
in
terms
of
cleanliness,
maintenance
and
general
standards
for
repairs
in
a
corporation.
L
Also,
very
well
positioned
in
the
sector.
We
are
uniquely
positioned.
We
were
ready
to
renew
the
portfolio
and
to
capitalize
on
new
development
opportunities
that
come
to
our
city.
I'd
now
like
to
share
the
floor
with
Stefan
jjigae,
our
CEO,
to
say
a
few
highlights
over
2016
annual
report.
Yes,
we
can
see
a
flurry
precipice
here,
your
worship
councilmembers.
L
H
We
have
the
executive
team
with
us
that
I
have
the
privilege
of
managing
a
composed
of
professional
with
great
expertise.
Their
experience
is
recognized
in
the
social
housing
area,
but
also
in
the
private
sector.
I'm
pleased
to
inform
you
that
we
remain
in
line
with
our
strategic
plan
and
with
the
four
main
objectives
that
are
the
focus
of
management.
H
L
Three
development
projects
for
the
construction
of
64
homes
have
generated
significant
interest
across
Ottawa.
The
completion
of
mission
lights,
expansions
six
homes
as
well.
We
are
in
planning
in
pre-construction
phases
for
our
school
communities
16
homes,
but
as
well.
The
Carrington
Community
Health
of
42
ohms
och,
continues
to
build
better
homes.
Better
communities
with
environmentally
sustainable
designs.
L
L
Country
needs
to
collaborate
with
private
sector
and
as
well,
so
many
group
and
agencies
in
Ottawa
that
we
are
helping
us
to
build
safe,
healthy
and
a
very
inclusive
communities
to
our
tenants.
It's
very
important
to
us.
This
enable
it.
This
enables
positive
social
environments
and
delivers
better
support
to
the
tenants.
I
talked
ad
nauseam
as.
L
L
We
are
grateful
to
our
shareholders,
City
Council
and
the
City
of
Ottawa
staff
for
being
such
engaged
partners.
Your
ongoing
guidance
and
support
incentives,
such
as
the
investment
in
affordable
housing,
allow
us
to
make
a
tremendous
difference
in
our
ability
to
build
homes
and
invest
in
our
buildings,
which
has
more
than
32,000
people
residents
of
Ottawa
on
behalf
of
staff
partners
and
our
tenants.
Thank
you
very
much.
We're
really
proud
and
thank.
A
Present
it
carries
and
thank
you
Stefan
and
that's
you
for
the
good
work
you
and
your
staff
do.

Thank
you,
a
worship
and
good
morning,
just
90
seconds.
Thank
you
to
Council
for
allowing
me
to
just
follow
up
three
things.
I
want
to
follow
up
on
and
I'd
like
to
suggest
that
maybe
a
brief
report
go
to
Transportation
Committee
just
to
vet
this
morn
and
not
having
a
council
but
I,
was
at
my
counselor
inquiry
that
I
filed
at
our
last
meeting.
I
talked
about
the
part.
Two
was
about
performance
audits
and
in
the
staff
reply.
M
It
only
talks
about
a
pavement
performance
data
study,
I'm,
looking
for
more
information,
not
only
about
what
that
study
is
but
more
details
about
how
city
staff
inspect
and
provide
oversight
to
these
jobs
that
are
occurring
in
the
city.
I
do
believe
that,
in
addition
to
the
the
weather
conditions
that
we've
had
that
there
are
other
issues
at
play
that
contribute
to
the
deterioration
of
our
roads
and
I
had
like
staff
to
go
into
detail
exactly
how
city
staff
are
providing
that
oversight
and
the
other
part
mr.
M
mayor,
but
I
wanted
to
follow
up
today,
as
I
am
seeking
more
information
in
the
report.
It
talks
about
testing
different
asphalt
products.
The
tests
that
are
going
on
in
the
city
and
there's
reference
to
research
that
has
been
done
at
Queen's
University
that
aligns
with
the
MTO
and
I'm
looking
for
more
info
about
how
new
testing
in
Ottawa
with
Asheville
specs
is
going
and
I
just
I'm.
A
D
Resources
not
much
this
was
covered
in
at
committee,
especially
around
the
the
ashphalt
testing.
There
was
a
really
detailed
answer.
Provide
a
committee
in
that
regard,
so
I
think
County
will
take
it
under
advisement,
but
I
think,
maybe
simply
a
meeting
between
yourself
counsel
blocking
there.
Perhaps
Kevin,
Wiley
or
a
member
of
his
team
would
be
able
to
fill
in
some
of
the
blanks.
But
we
did
have
an
extensive
discussion
about
this
at
committee.
At.
M
Okay,
well
I
appreciate
that
man
I've
asked
some
questions.
I,
like
some
more
information
of
staff,
just
want
to
apply
to
me.
That's
fine,
but
I
do
think.
There's
some
benefit
to
having
it
go
through
the
committee
where,
where
the
subject
matter
is
aired
out,
if
the
chair
doesn't
want
to
have
that
discussion,
that.
A
Something
saying
that
counts,
sir:
it
did
come
up.
There
was
an
item
on
that
fedko.
We
we
talked
about
the
queen's.
You
know
all
the
things
that
you
raised,
I
would
suggest
perhaps
go
back
and
glue
the
archives
and
listen
to
the
committee
discussion.
If
your
answers
aren't
satisfactory,
they
go
back
to
mr.
wine.
If.
M
D
Mr.
know,
if
I
can,
if
I
can
respond,
I'm
not
suggesting
anyway,
council
Brockington,
that
the
answer
shouldn't
be
provided.
What
I'm
suggesting
is.
There
was
a
very
robust
discussion
about
this
when
the
report
was
tabled,
that
committee,
and
especially
in
and
around
things
like
the
asphalt
testing,
that
there
was
good
dialogue
with
staff
about
that,
so
all
I
was
suggesting
was
staff
could
meet
with
you
if
you're
still
not
satisfied.
D
Q
R
Q
And
what
have
been
the
the
consequences
of
not
filling
in
the
gap?
As
we've
been
told
many
times,
you
tend
to
shorten
the
lifespan
of
some
assets
and
require
complete
reconstruction,
and
that
kind
of
thing
how
many
times,
how
what's
the
dollar
value
of
those
exercises
consequences
of
not
filling
the
gap.
I.
H
R
N
Mr.
melody,
the
funny
level
that
we've
identified
in
a
comprehensive
past
management
report
and
the
long
range
financial,
and
especially
to
be
able
to
maintain
the
assets
in
the
state
of
good
repair,
we
also
have
a
strategy
that
provides
predictable
and
stable
funding
to
get
us
to
that
level.
So,
basically,
what
we
are
putting
in
place
are
strategies
to
make
sure
that
vision.
We
make
the
best
use
of
the
funds
that
are
available.
Q
Okay,
but
if
we're
not
providing
enough
to
meet
that,
then
presumably
the
consequences
you
eluded
us
to
every
single
year
for
the
last
15
years
must
have
actually
happened.
So
what
is
the
dollar
value
of
the
the
reconstructions
that
had
to
be
done
as
opposed
to
simple
maintenance?
That
could
have
been
done
if
we
were
filling
that
gap.
N
So
mr.
mayor
I,
don't
have
a
specific
number
with
me
on
that
we
can
certainly
look
at
I.
Think
it's
a
number
that's
difficult
to
to
quantify.
What
we
do
is
basically,
we
apply
the
investments.
We
apply.
The
investments
based
on
the
risk-based
approach
in
terms
of
risk
assets
that
pose
the
highest
risk
to
service,
and
that's
where
we
direct
the
the
funding.
N
Q
Now
it
looks
like
virtually
all
of
the
difference
between
the
gap
that
we
had
in
2012
and
the
gap
we
have
now
has
been
filled
by
moving
15
million
dollars
from
strategic
initiatives
into
the
gap.
So
I'm
wondering
what
is
the
build-up
of
new
demands
from
the
public
anywhere
from
web-based
areas
for
strategic
initiatives
that
we're
not
meeting
now.
R
Q
Ok,
now
we're
also
talking
about
in
this
report
about
addressing
the
gap
problem
partially
by
rationalizing
our
executive
existing
assets,
so
that
we
shrink
the
need
for
renewal.
What
does
that
mean?
What
are
some
examples
or
potential
examples?
Even
if
you
don't
haven't
identified
any
real
examples.
G
Now,
mr.
Mehra,
that
you
know
it
sounds
more
sinister
than
what
it
is.
It's,
for
instance,
we're
doing
a
review
of
arenas
right
now
which,
when
directed
by
committee
and
Council,
which
mr.
Shanley
is
doing
where
we
have
when
you
think
about
you,
know
4050
years
ago,
when
people
put
thought
into,
you
know
how
to
how
to
create
and
develop
city
facilities.
The
world
has
changed
so
single
pod
arenas
right
now
are
not
the
most
economically
feasible
way
to
deliver
ice
time.
G
We've
seen
that
by
what
the
sense
plexus,
where
we
now
know
that
optimum
ice
pads
are
for
ice
pads
in
an
arena
to
maximize
energy
and
costs
booking
and
the
user
experience,
so
we're
looking
at
all
the
single
pad
arenas
we're
looking
at.
How
do
you
optimize
the
use
of
ice
time
across
that
we
have
many
or
many?
We
have
several
facilities
that
were
built
in
a
day
when
they're
small
they're
not
very
well
utilize.
G
We
could
be
consolidating
some,
those
in
our
larger
centers,
so
that
study
and
that
review
on
all
our
physical
assets
is
going
to
be
looked
at
over
the
next
couple
years.
We're
hoping
to
be
back
early
in
the
next
term
of
council,
with
recommendations
to
Council
on
how
we
can
minimize
our
footprint
yet
still
maintain
service
levels.
Q
G
That's
that's
exactly
we're
going
to
look
at
our
whole
asset
base
for
where
we
can
find
efficiencies,
because
right
now,
there's
a
there's,
a
sense
or
strong
sense,
but
also
research
backs
it
up
that
when
we're
continuing
to
maintain
facilities
that
are
eating
into
our
ability
to
maintain
higher
priority
priority
areas
and
if
we
eliminated
those
we'd
have
more
funds
available
to
deal
with
the
higher
priorities.
Okay.
But
how.
G
G
Don't
we
don't
know
that
yet
the
the
strategy
that
was
put
forward
in
this
plan
identifies
one
strategy
that
isn't
weighted
at
the
same
level
as
the
other
recommendations
in
the
plan.
It's
one
thing
to
look
at:
that's
going
to
generate
some
opportunities
summary,
but
it's
not
the
solution
to
closing
or
funding
up
I,
don't
know
what
that
gap
will
be.
Yet
until
we
do
the
full
study
and
multiple
departments
pretty
well.
Who
knows
the
general
managers
will
be
involved
in
that
discussion
with
their
teams.
Okay,.
Q
R
R
R
Owe
the
deciding
factor
s
isn't
really?
The
7.5
expects
the
debt
servicing
because
we
don't
change
your
debt
servicing.
So
if
you
know
that
you
know
servicing
million
dollars
of
depth
with
$100,000
and
now
you
can
get
1.5
million
dollars
of
depth
with
that
same
hundred
thousand,
that's
what
we
will
be
renewing
it
for.
P
Thank
You
mr.
Merrick
yeah,
just
a
couple
of
questions.
First,
following
up
from
counselor
Ali's
question
about
the
anticipated
costs
or
additional
cost
of
deferring
maintenance,
I
mean
I.
Think
the
important
calculation
to
understand
is
what
the
difference
in
cost
to
the
city
would
be
if
we
managed
to
solve
our
deficit
immediately.
P
What
is
that
going
to
mean
in
potential
increased
costs
to
both
the
taxpayer
of
today
and
of
a
decade
from
now?
So
that's
just
a
little
precision
question
on
counselor,
charli's
I
think
it
I
think
it's
the
same.
Ask
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
mr.
ghonte
understood
what
I
was
looking
for
in
terms
of
that
answer.
My
second
question
to
miss
Similac
is
the
staff
recommendation
is
to
wait
ten
years
before
filling
that
gap.
I'm
just
curious.
How
staff
arrived
at
that?
Why
not
fill
it
sooner.
R
P
P
R
Didn't
see
even
though
and
I
guess
I
would
point
you
to
this.
If
you
look
at
your
actual
your
assets,
how
they
rate
and
from
2012
to
2017
in
that
five-year
period,
you
didn't,
have
you
didn't,
fill
your
gap,
but
still
you
still
have
another
five
years
to
go
and
you
didn't
see
a
huge
deterioration
in
the
state
of
the
assets.
R
So
what
the
engineering
group
does
is
with
the
funds
that
they
they
receive,
they
allocate
it
to
their
highest
priorities
so
that
we
are
actually
able
to
maintain
the
assets
in
more
or
less
the
same
stage
of
repair
as
they
were
before.
They're,
not
able
to
move
it
forward,
and
that's
the
objective
of
the
next
ten
years
is
to
actually
gain
ground
and
move
it
forward
in
terms
of
its
overall
state
of
repair.
I
was.
P
Surprised
to
see
in
the
chart,
on
page
nine
of
the
report
and
anticipation
that
the
renewal
funding
will
stay
static
during
that
ten-year
period
at
roughly
I
guess:
195
million
by
2027
in
a
city
where
we
are
growing
the
number
of
assets
and
costs
for
these
types
of
things
usually
go
up.
Can
you
just
explain
how
it
is
that
we're
anticipating
that
in
ten
years
time
we
will
have
no
greater
need
for
renewal
funding
for
these
also.
R
We're
not
actually
saying
that
counselors.
What
we're
saying
is
that
when
we
look
at
the
assets
and
what
we
have
today,
we
need
hundred
ninety
five
million.
This
report
comes
back
to
everything.
Basically
five
years,
so
you'll
be
able
to
see
in
when
we
update
it
again,
the
next
time
whether
there
actually
has
been
a
change
in
the
requirement,
whether
it
is
wrong,
whether
it
is
shrunk
as
a
result
of
other
non-financial
decisions
that
are
made,
but
the
when
you,
the
asset
base,
grows
every
year.
R
But
when
you
look
at
the
asset
base
that
grows,
that's
not
the
stuff
that
needs
renewal
right
off
the
bat,
the
stuff.
The
way
you
take
over
a
new
road,
it's
fifteen
years
before
you
actually
have
to
invest
in
that
road
again,
so
adding
to
your
asset
base
doesn't
automatically
mean
you
have
to
spend
more
in
the
next
year
in
order
to
maintain
it
in
a
good
state
of
repair.
R
P
R
R
E
Thank
you
and
mr.
mayor.
One
of
the
examples
that
you
used
in
the
report
was
that
our
contrasting
us
against
the
City
of
Mississauga,
but
it
was,
as
you
recall,
an
old
example.
So
I
asked
stop
to
provide
me
with
more
current
information
on
what
their
2%
infrastructure
levy
had
gone
toward
and
sort
of
contrasting
them
against
the
City
of
Ottawa
and
I
found
it
really
fascinating,
because
their
measure
of
assets
against
ours
is
very
different.
E
There
that
they
work
toward
is
asset
replacement
value,
which
is
a
much
higher
test
than
a
state
of
good
repair
and
also
1%
of
their
infrastructure.
Levitt
goes
into
a
page,
a
gold
fund,
so
they
will
always
have
funds
available
for
renewal,
so
there
obviously
aren't
a
much
healthier
state
than
we
are,
but
it
got
me
to
thinking
about
this
state
of
good
repair,
because
a
lot
of
the
information
that
was
provided
to
us
had
a
lot
of
our
assets
that
were
in
a
state
less
than
good
repair.
So
how
do
we
determine
good
repair?
N
So
mr.
maryk,
you
respond
to
that
question.
When
we
look
at
that
state
of
good
repair,
it
doesn't
mean
that
all
the
assets
are
in
good
condition
in
terms
of
rating
scale.
Additionally
means
that
the
assets
are
suitable
for
the
service
that
they're
intended
to
provide.
So
you
can
have
a
road,
that's
in
fair
condition,
but
it's
still
suitable
for
the
type
of
traffic
edits
that
it's
conveying
and
performing
its
function,
so
that
it
would
still
be
a
good
road
that
it's
in
the
state
of
good
repair.
So.
E
E
E
G
Mayor
the
the
its
it
again,
it's
premature
to
like
we're
just
doing
the
arenas.
Now
it's
an
extensive,
it's
an
extensive
process,
the
the
demographics
and
the
usage
of
our
parts
and
the
sports
fields
and
the
amenities
that
people
have
changes
over
time
as
their
as
our
community
changes.
I
mean
you
know
back
when
I
was
growing
up
having
field
hockey
pitches
and
other
things
like
that,
weren't,
a
very
popular
thing
we
evolved
with
their
community
and
sometimes
there's
better
uses
for
the
community
from
what
what
is
being
used.
G
But
again,
that's
looked
at
in
the
context
of
the
broader
scheme
in
terms
of
maintaining
our
service
levels,
first,
not
trying
to
decrease
their
service
levels
and,
as
the
treasurer
and
Jim
pointed
out,
we
haven't
Bea
even
built
in
into
our
forecast,
any
significant
savings
or
any
savings
from
the
rationalization.
We
just
believe
that
the
rationalization
is
something
that's
the
responsible
thing
to
do
so
we're
not
carrying
a
bunch
of
dogs
when
we
should
be
looking
at
them
and
have
an
opportunity
to
actually
save
taxpayers
some
money
yet
maintain
our
service
levels.
Thank.
E
S
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
on
the
the
in
the
report
for
the
long-range
financial
plan
when
you
identify
four
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
a
yearly
basis,
this
is
under
your
funding.
Strategies
from
within
councils
tax
target
continue
to
be
added
that
is
within
our
2%
tax
target
is
that
is
that
correct?
It.
S
R
S
S
R
So
the
need
of
the
12
million
for
parks
will
be
gradually
filled
in
it's
every
year.
The
allocation
goes
up
and
the
engineers
decide
where
they
are
going
to
allocate
the
funds.
So
the
parks
renewal
budget
has
been
going
up
every
year
for
the
last
five
years
and
then
will
continue
to
do
so
as
part
of
this
strategy.
So.
S
Just
again
because
what
I
worry
about
is,
you
know,
I
surprises
in
the
next
term
of
counsel,
and
you
know
maybe
the
surprise
will
be
I'm
not
going
to
be
here
anyway,
so
it
won't.
It
won't
be
up
to
me,
but
but
I
do
I
do
worry,
especially
about
you
know
when
we
talk
about
our
funding
and
and
our
needs
for
parks
for
buildings,
for
for
our
structures
and
and
what
that,
what
that
could
mean
and
I
just
I.
S
R
Through
the
mayor,
I
guess
I
would
say:
I
wouldn't
recommend
the
levy
we've
had
that
in
the
past
and
what
it
has
done
is.
It
has
created
too
much
pressure
on
your
taxpayers,
because
you
have
your
typical
increase
for
inflation
on
on
all
parts
of
the
city,
and
then
you
have
a
levy
on
top
of
it.
It
was
a
very
short-lived
idea
when
council
introduced
it
last
time,
I
think
we
had
one
year
where
we
did
it
the
next
year
they
substituted
it
with
debt
and
the
third
year
they
got
rid
of
it
altogether.
R
So
what
I'd
like
to
see
happen
is
a
plan.
That's
actually
going
to
get
us
somewhere.
What
we
put
in
front
of
you,
I
think,
is
a
reasonable
plan.
You
could
accelerate
it,
but
my
concern
is
this:
is
that
you
can
give
us
more
funds
to
do
things,
but
there's
only
a
certain
amount
of
capacity
within
the
city
to
actually
get
those
dollars
spent
and
out
the
door.
So
you
could
double
the
budget
in
ISD,
but
I
can
tell
you
they
don't
have
the
capacity
to
spend
that
in
a
one-year
time
frame.
R
S
I
have
just
a
question
then,
for
mr.
Gong
ji
identified
in
my
community,
one
of
my
community,
the
community
centers
in
the
downtown
on
one
of
the
floors,
there's
a
sign
now
that
says
you
can't
drink
the
water
and
I'm
told
that
it's
because
there's
lead
that
was
found
in
the
water
and
that
that
will
be
rectified
in
2018
if
we
had
the
money
in
the
budget,
so
you
know
I
when
my
community
sees
these
things
and
people
come
to
me
and
say
what's
going
on.
S
Why
can't
this
be
fixed
now,
and
you
know
when
we
have
this
report
in
front
of
us.
Those
are
the
questions
that
I
get
people
wonder.
Is
this
the
outcome
of
us
not
keeping
up
with
our
asset
renewal
and
is
the
fact
that
we
might
get
it
fixed
in
2018
a
result
of
us
not
filling
that
gap
sooner
with
different
options?
N
K
Madame
treasurer
I
know
we
are
looking
at
the
long-range
financial
plan
and
that
what
we're
recommending
or
what
this
item
to
recommend
in
the
increase
or
additional
7.8
million
start
in
2019
I
know
that's
really
a
step
in
the
right
direction
in.
But
my
question
is:
there's
the
7.8
plus
the
inflation.
K
Well,
will
that
will
that
be
the
need
after
time
he's
the
reason
I'm
saying
this,
because
most
of
facilities
most
of
bridges,
motive,
most
things
built
in
this
city,
either
after
the
50s
or
after
the
80s,
and
it
seems
they're
both
coming
to
the
street
at
the
same
time,
so
I'm
wondering?
Are
we
investing
enough
in
those
area
that
we're?
Because
the
longer
we
wait?
Sometimes
it
seems
the
bigger
the
bill
or
the
wider
that
the
that
appear
or
the
replacements
going
to
be
and
I
know.
K
We
say
we
reviewed
the
assets,
but
really
we
haven't
give
you
everything
we
have
because
I
can
tell
you
some
of
the
will.
You
call
the
local
roads
in
any
community.
It
has
not
been
review
for
quite
some
times
because
really
those
road
mostly
build
30
and
40
years
ago,
and
now
really
in
so
I.
My
question
to
you
is
and
I
know,
you're
gonna,
say
well
depend
on
how
much
council
wants
to
contribute.
R
I
can
only
rely
on
the
numbers
that
I'm
provided
with
from
the
engineers.
That's
the
amount
that
they
think
we
should
be
investing
and
yes,
there's.
There
are
peaks
and
valleys
in
terms
of
it,
because
we
had
assets
all
the
assets
didn't
come
on
to
the
city.
At
the
same
time,
there
were
years
and
thinking
of
the
70s
when
the
city
was
growing
quite
quickly,
that
we
took
on
way
more
assets
than
in
say
the
80s.
R
So,
yes,
you'll
see
variations
in
the
amount
that
we
need
reflecting
when
those
assets
actually
reach
the
age
that
they
need
to
be
renewed,
but
I'm,
confident
in
the
number
that
the
engineers
gave
me
that
that's
what
they
need
to
see
in
terms
of
investment
in
the
assets,
the
plan
we've
put
forward
to
you
is,
as
I've
said,
is
a
it's
a
longer-term
plan.
It
brings
us
there
over
a
10-year
period.
It's
council's
determination
as
to
whether
you
want
to
accelerate
that
or
not,
but
I
would
caution
you
that
and
I
know.
R
Councillors
have
said
this
before
a
lot
of
times.
The
work
doesn't
get
done
because
other
priorities
come
into
place,
for
example
with
the
stimulus
program
that
we
have
right
now.
A
lot
of
the
regular
work
isn't
happening
because
we're
focusing
on
the
stimulus
projects,
the
clean
water
wastewater
and
the
public
transfer
transportation
infrastructure
fund,
because
those
have
hard
deadlines
on
us
for
us
to
actually
see
the
work
happens
so
that
we
can
get
paid
by
the
federal
provincial
government.
R
So,
even
though
you
were
to
increase
the
contribution,
there's
no
guarantee
that
we'd
actually
be
able
to
get
the
work
out
the
door
and
complete
in
a
timely
manner,
given
other
priorities
that
happen
and
the
fact
that
the
resources
aren't
really
aligned
with
an
increase
in
the
contribution
at
this
point
in
time
and
by
that
the
resources
I'm,
referring
to
the
resources
that
you
would
have
in
your
engineering
branch.
Okay,.
K
R
R
Plan
for
transit,
a
few
months
back
when
you
were
looking
at
stage
two
of
light
rail
and
that
used
that
plan
sees
all
of
the
gas
tax
committed
to
transit
for
the
foreseeable
future.
There
was
unless
something
happens
where
all
of
a
sudden
the
projects
disappear
or
the
cost
change.
That
plan
already
saw
all
of
that,
all
of
that
funding
going
towards
transit.
R
K
That
so
one
question
which
remain:
should
we
love
in
the
future
our
governments
to
to
support
there
prepare
reflects,
instead
of
because
most
the
stimulus
coming
for
a
new
project
always
coming
for
a
new
project
and
we
receive
funding
and
we
got
excited
we're
doing
a
new
project,
but
then
our
current
as
it
got
really
bad
back
burner.
So
should
the
discussion
in
the
future
without
the
love
of
God
I
know,
it
may
be
that
question
should
be
directed
to
the
mayor.
K
R
And
then
to
the
mayor,
because
I
know
he's
aware
of
this:
the
number
of
municipalities
across
this
province
have
actually
got
together
to
start
discussions
with
the
province
about
not
having
sporadic
stimulus
funds
come
to
us,
but
cotton,
but
give
us
sustained
long-term
funding.
That's
predictable
that
we
can
plan
for
that.
We
can
build
into
all
of
our
strategies
because
the
you're
correct
they
tend
to
prefer
the
brand-new
things
as
opposed
to
the
replacement,
but
we're
at
the
point
and
and
most
municipalities
are
there
now,
where
it's
renewal
and
replacement.
J
You
mr.
mayor
I
do
have
two
questions.
I
think
the
first
is
directed
to
the
clerk
and
I.
Think
I
asked
us
during
these
discussions.
Most
of
the
time,
I
just
want
to
ensure
that,
if
we're
approving
this
long-range
financial
plan
that
we're
not
necessarily
constraining
ourselves
with
respect
to
the
budgets
that
we
craft
in
the
next
term
of
council,
that
we
still
have
that
flexibility,
that's.
J
In
the
absence
of
such
new
funding,
a
dedicated
infrastructure
tax
levy
equal
to
1/2
of
1%
increase
to
the
tax
levy,
starting
in
2016,
would
achieve
the
required
funding
level
by
2022
staff
had
also
spoke
about
a
more
gradual
levy.
We're
not
talking
about
levees
anymore,
and
you
know,
a
seven
million
dollar
hit
to
each
of
our
very
low
tax
increases
is
a
significant
chunk.
That's
just
going
straight
to
infrastructure
maintenance,
leaving
us
very
little
room
out
of
any
future
tax
increases
to
pay
for
all
the
other
costs
of
the
city
that
are
going
up.
R
In
2012
we
were
looking
at
at
that
time
the
possibility
of
having
federal
provincial
funding
coming
in
on
a
regular
basis
that
didn't
materialize.
You
then
subsequently
had
an
election
and
a
council
that
set
as
a
direction
a
2%
tax
target
so
automatically
the
levy
discussion
was
was
finished
because
we
accommodated
what
we
needed
to
what
we
had
agreed
to
through
the
2%,
but
you
would
set
a
target
that
was
contrary
to
what
we
had
recommended
there.
R
J
Is
it
your
assumption,
then,
that
the
the
tax
increases
of
the
next
council
and
the
council
after
its
and
they
went
after
it
is
going
to
continue
to
be
2%
or
you
know
what
is
what
is
you're
looking
at
what
the
politics
of
it
are
going
to
be
moving
forward
if
it
was
removed
for
political
reasons,
this
term
of
council
you
know,
are
we
assuming
the
same
politics
moving
forward?
I
have.
R
No
assumptions
about
what
your
tax
increase
will
be
starting
in
2019.
What
what
we
have
done
in
this
long
range
financial
plan
is
assured
that
whatever
you
set,
that
target
with,
we
will
be
increasing
the
contribution
to
capital
by
seven
point:
eight
million
dollars
a
year,
including
an
a-plus
inflation.
So
this
this
report
just
sets
out
what
you
want
to
achieve
with
respect
to
capital,
ensures
that
that
will
happen,
whether
you
want
to
do
it
as
a
separate
levy,
whether
you
want
to
accelerate
this.
R
J
R
R
J
I
followed
the
discussion
a
little
bit
earlier
with
councillor
Nussbaum
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
understand
this
I
know
that
if
I,
if
I
make
small
repairs
in
my
home
today,
it
will
cost
me
less
than
it
would
cost
if
I
were
to
have
to
make
major
repairs
down
the
road
we're
proposing
to
make
smaller
investments
in
repairs
today
than
than
to
do
it
more
quickly.
Do
we
have
a
sense
of
how
much
that
is
going
to
cost
the
future
taxpayer
of
Ottawa?
J
N
Mr.
Mehra
has
indicated
before
that's
not
a
number
that
we
have
right
now.
It
was
certainly
something
that
we
could
come
back
with,
but
I
think
what's
important.
Understanding
that
missus
Similac
has
been
explaining.
Is
that
the
plan
that
we're
putting
forth
before
you
is
a
plan
in
terms
of
how
we
can
continue
to
sustain
our
assets
in
a
way
that
we
can
actually
achieve
progress
and
I.
N
Instead
of
having
to
rebuild
part
of
the
roof
or
having
to
rebuild
part
of
the
road,
so
that
is
built
into
the
plan.
That
is
the
element
that
we're
trying
to
manage.
We
talked
about
infrastructure
that
was
built
in
the
50s
to
80s,
that's,
that
is
the
wave
that
we
are
trying
to
that.
We
are
trying
to
manage
in
every
cycle
where
we
update
this
information,
you
will
have
updated
information
in
terms
okay.
Where
do
we
stand
in
terms
of
condition?
The
information
that
we
provide
is
really
based
on
condition,
information.
N
It's
not
based
on
strict
percentages
based
on
the
assets
that
we
have
it's
based
on
the
condition
of
our
assets.
So
as
we
continue
to
maintain
those
inspection
data
that
we
have,
we
container
to
have
updated
to
condition
information
we're
going
to
be
able
to
continue
to
provide
an
updated
information.
Every
time
we
refresh
our
asset
management
and
our
also
our
financial
planning
cycles.
If.
J
I,
if
I
can
make
it
a
little
bit
more
specific,
just
in
terms
of
being
able
to
communicate
with
the
residents
of
our
Ward.
There
are
any
number
and
we
had
a
long
discussion
of
fedko
and
I'm
not
going
to
revisit
that
discussion
today.
But
if
we
adopt
this
long-range
financial
plan-
and
there
are
any
number
of
roads
in
the
ward
that
have
been
compromised
by
you-
know
frequent
Road
cuts
that
are
well
past.
The
point
where
they're
in
a
state
of
repair
that
most
residents
would
consider
acceptable.
J
We
also
know
that
in
the
next
five
to
seven
years,
those
roads
are
not
set
for
resurfacing.
Zoar
for
rebuilds
can
I
take
the
approval
of
this
long-range
financial
plan
back
to
residents
and
say
this
will
accelerate
the
the
the
repairs
that
we
need
on
the
roads
in
our
Ward,
or
is
it
still
very
uncertain
as
to
whether
or
not
we're
going
to
get
those
in
the
next
five
to
seven
years?
If
they're,
not
in
the
plan
today,
in
other
words,
does
accepting
this
plan
for
our
long-range
finances?
J
N
Mr.
Merrit,
it
definitely
accelerates,
and
the
reason
why
we're
identifying
that
we
need
to
be
spending
more
dollars
is
a
recognition
that
we
need
to
increase
investment
levels
that
we
are
currently
doing.
So
the
sheer
fact
that
you're
approving
a
report
and
applying
that
shows
and
increase
investments
certainly
provides
recognition
to
that.
N
To
that
fact,
what
we've
also
in
this,
especially
going
back
to
the
discussion
that
we
had
at
Petco,
is
right
now
the
focus
is
on
higher
risk
assets,
so
our
Tara
role,
which
major
collector
roads,
because
they
do
carry
higher
volumes
of
traffic,
did
you
have
typically
higher
speeds,
which
means
that
lower
risk
roads,
such
as
community
type
of
streets,
are
not
getting
a
higher
level
of
attention.
But
as
we
progress
through
our
plan,
we
will
be
able
to
start
reading
some
of
those
dollars
to
do
more
of
the
local
streets.
N
But
first
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
address
those
higher
risk
roads
and
then
over
time
we
will
be
able
to
start
directing
more
funds
to
it
to
logo.
Can
we
say
for
certainty
right
now
in
six
seven,
eight
years
from
now,
specifically
which
local
streets
will
be
done?
No,
that's
not
a
level
of
detail
that
we
can
get
it
to
you
at
this
point.
J
That
is
not
in
our
plan
for
a
rebuild
anytime,
soon
or
even
a
resurfacing
where
the
neighbor
has
been
watching
multiple
incidents,
the
cyclists
who
are
hitting
dips
and
potholes
and
nearly
getting
very
seriously
hurt
the
the
poor
state
of
road
is,
is
one
risk
to
cars.
It's
a
very
different
order
of
risks,
cyclists
who
use
those
because
they
are
low
volume,
so
I'll
leave
you
with
that.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
mr.
mayor.
Thank
you.
F
T
Thank
you
much
mr.
maryk,
essentially,
really
it
just
goes
back
to
translation
committee.
I
indicated
chance
at
the
time
we
were
kind
of
going
through
things
quickly
bid
for
items
for
councilors
items
on
the
agenda
and
the
three
subsequent
ones
to
this
one
were
held,
and
the
councillors
who
put
them
forward
had
to
explain
their
rationale
behind
its.
We
carried
this
one
quickly,
yet
the
other
three
had
to
be
held
and
rationale
given
as
to
why
they
were
going
against
staff
warrants.
Of
course,
this
one
doesn't
meet
warrants
either.
T
It's
I
think
the
compliance
rate
for
the
speed
limit.
The
current
speed
limit
today
in
that
zone
is
between
a
zero
and
four
percent
compliance
on
that
stretch
of
roadway.
Yet
this
report
seeks
to
lower
the
speed
up
from
70
to
60,
with
the
other
three
reports:
councillor
Manette,
councilor,
bleh
and
councillor
brockington
I
think
we
all
agree
that
no
one
knows
our
wards
better
than
ourselves
in
our
communities
that
we
work
with.
So
so
you
give
some
incredible
high
level
of
scrutiny
to
decisions
that
we're
making
our
residential
streets
in
our
awards.
T
Again,
we
don't
know
it
like
the
counsellor
does,
but
given
that,
given
that
we
got
the
scrutiny
given
to
three
reports
and
each
councillor
worked
on
defending
those
reports
and
the
effort
that
they
put
into
them,
I
think
it's
only
fair
that
we
hear
the
rationale
behind
this
report,
which
also
goes
against
staff
recommendations.
So
if
I
could
just
get
that
I'm
here,
I
couldn't
do
it
a
committee
because
after
we
carry
it,
we
can't
say
there's
no
procedure
to
reconsider
a
committee.
So
this
was
the
best
option
here.
E
Mr.
mayor
I
just
wanted
to
answer
Moffitt's
question
our
council
caucus
when
I
put
this
report
forward
to
attempt
to
address
the
community's
ongoing
concern
was
speeding
along
River
Road.
Since
the
opening
of
the
Vimy
memorial
bridge,
my
office
has
received
an
influx
of
emails
and
calls
from
residents
along
River
Road,
who
have
noticed
not
only
an
increase
in
traffic
volume,
but
also
in
the
speed
of
vehicles
coming
into
their
neighborhoods.
And
let
me
just
say
that
this
council
agreed
to
spend
a
lot
of
money.
E
Widening
Line
Bank
Road,
to
make
it
the
arterial
that
would
carry
large
volumes
of
traffic.
But
what
happened?
Traffic
is
like
water
in
felis.
Of
course,
the
police
resistance,
and
what
has
happened
is
because
it's
slightly
shorter
to
take
the
scenic
road
and
our
official
plan,
which
is
known
as
River
Road.
The
scenic
NCC's
plan
they've
been
taking
that
and
speeding
and
and
really
having
a
very
adverse
impact.
E
And
so
council
caucus
and
I
have
held
a
public
meeting
and
have
met
regularly
with
community
groups
and
through
it
all
of
our
discussions.
Reducing
the
speed
along
River
Road
has
been
their
number
one
objective
and
while
I
support
the
initiative
to
reduce
the
speed
on
River
Road,
I'm
actually
concerned
that
this
report
doesn't
go
far
enough
because
it
actually
goes
60,
80,
60
and
I
think
maybe
gone
sixty.
Seventy
sixty
that
would
have
been
even
better,
but
counselor
caucus
and
I
did
not
agree
on
that
particular
item.
E
T
Nevertheless,
I
know.
In
those
cases
like
with
the
cow
surgeries,
there
was
a
big
community
push
to
make
a
change
for
something,
but
also
they're
gonna,
be
part
of
the
solution.
They're
gonna
be
helping
with
the
buy-in
for
that
and
I.
Think
you
need
that
from
your
associations
in
that
area
in
order
to
achieve
compliance.
Otherwise,
you
just
it's
just
going
to
reduce
compliance,
even
more
they're
gonna
keep
on
driving
the
same
speed,
because
River
Road
is
designed
to
a
certain
design
speed
not
to
a
60
kilometer
speed.
So
it
was
just
my
concerns.
T
I
think
it's
an
importance,
but
you
try
to
work
with
your
community
I.
Think
too,
it's
a
good
opportunity
to
use
some
of
the
traffic
calming
budget
that
we
have
in
order
to
address
those
things
too.
When
you
change
the
speed
limit
in
order
to
achieve
compliance,
you
might
want
to
look
at
investing
some
funds
in
the
in
some
some
boards
or
some
other
infrastructure.
That'll
help
actually
achieve
the
speed
limit,
rather
than
just
changes.
Some
signs.
C
You,
mr.
mayor
and
to
you
I
did
this
send
this
item
at
committee
because
River
Road
is
I,
know
it's
a
nice
road
and
people
use
it
for
scenic
road
and
I.
Consider
the
teens
really
said
that
earlier
and
every
time
we
if
we
reduce
the
speed
on
River,
Road
I,
don't
think
we're
really
addressing
the
issue
of
speeder.
C
So
every
time
we
pave
an
ice
road
for
shoulder
to
shoulder
and
we're
gonna
increase
the
speed
at
the
creased
speed
that
we're
really
increasing
the
risk
of
accident
on
that
road
and
River
Road
seen
a
lots
of
tragic
accident
and
not
small
accident
major
accident,
because
it's
a
major
route
people
from
Campell
people
from
north
core
magnetic
and,
of
course,
as
good
my
area.
We
all
travel
on
that
road
and
by
reducing
it
from
70
to
60,
really
you're,
not
eliminating
and
you're,
not
addressing
the
issue.
We
have
traffic
coming
measure.
C
C
Daaamn
knee
and
boundary
it
goes
from
60
70
80,
it's
so
confusing
and
sit
so
inconsistent.
So
really
I
asked
staff
to
look
at
review
the
whole
road
River
Road
and
addressed
the
issue
on
it
and
either
make
it
all
60
or
70
or
80,
but
make
up
your
mind,
stop
reducing
speed
at
specific
community
I
cannot
support
that
because
I
have
similar
situation,
South
and
the
bridge
so
not
because
only
you
open
the
bridge,
you
really
having
created
problem.
C
The
problem
is
big:
we
pave
the
road,
it's
looking
very
nice
now
and
we
widen
it
and
it
look
appealing
for
people
driving
on
at
80
and
100,
and
now
you
wanna
let
people
driving
on
60
you're,
actually
increasing
the
risk.
So
for
that
I,
don't
think
it's
wise
idea
to
reduce
the
speed
and
I
think
if
we
really
need
to
reduce
it,
we
need
to
look
at
it.
The
River
Road,
all
of
it
from
beginning
to
end.
Thank
you.
O
Three
you
acting
there
yeah,
so
we
did
do
a
review
of
the
whole
corridor
from
the
boundary
of
the
City
of
Ottawa,
up
to
Lane,
Bank
Riverside
and
the
appropriate
speed
bait
based
on
our
speeds,
only
policies,
eighty
kilometers
an
hour,
but
that
being
said,
we
don't
go
back
and
and
change
speed
limits
that
have
been
set
by
other
councils
at
the
time.
The
speed
limits
were
set
twenty
twenty-five
thirty
years
ago.
O
C
So
when
you
address
the
issue
on
the
south
end
and
the
north,
and
did
you
notice
the
difference
between
the
percentage
of
the
speeder
and
both
side,
because
I
asked
you
directly
to
review
the
whole
river
road
from
from
Leitrim
all
the
way
down
to
balmy?
So
can
you
tell
me
in
specific:
where
did
you
find
an
issue
to
reduce
the
speed
or
what
do
you
support
or
worry
and
don't
support
what.
O
We
found
when
we
did
a
review
is
that
the
speeds
were
in
the
80
to
85
kilometers
an
hour.
We
did
see
some
speed
reductions
in
areas
where
there
was
a
bit
more
houses
next
to
this
or
by
the
park
down
near
the
Earl
Armstrong
or
the
bridge.
But
for
the
most
part,
these
speeds
were
in
the
80
to
85
Clara
range
and
and
that,
hence
the
recommendation.
C
So,
as
you
see,
it
was
such
mr.
mayor
that
the
speed
on
River
Road-
really,
if
you
reduce
it,
is
not
really
gonna
help.
Actually
the
city
will
be
taking
more
liability
and
I.
Don't
think
this
is
fair
for
our
resident
that
they
travel
and
they
reuse
this
as
a
commute.
This
is
not.
This
is
not
as
inside
street
and
subdivisions
really
that
Road,
you
cannot
drive
it's
sixty.
C
It's
it's
angry,
it's
unrealistic,
so
we
really
be
creating
more
issue
if
we
really
reduce
the
speed
and
what's
going
to
bring
on
us,
are
the
south
and
now
we're
going
to
be
under
pressure
under
from
our
resident
to
reduce
the
speed
in
every
pocket
area
we
have,
and
if
you
drive
River
Road
every
to
kill
half
a
kilometre.
There
is
pocket
of
resident,
and
now
we
have,
we
cannot
be
inconsistent.
So
I
really
encourage
my
city,
councilor
colleague,
not
to
really
support
that.
This
is
not
a
really
good
idea.
I
And
with
Phills
team
to
implement
a
whole
bunch
of
traffic
calming
measures,
so
we're
not
just
doing
this
as
the
first
and
last
measure,
and
so
Phil
can
speak
to
some
of
those.
If
you
want
specifics,
but
we've
done
a
bunch
of
different
measures
in
collaboration
with
the
local
community
associations,
both
in
my
area
and
it
not
councillor
Dean's
as
area
as
well,
so
the
lines
are
the
roads
and
so
that
we
bring
down
the
speeds
automatically.
I
In
fact,
if
you
look
at
the
numbers,
we've
had
a
bit
of
success
with
that,
because
you
can
see
right
after
the
repaving.
The
numbers
typically
go
up
and
they
haven't
really
gone
up.
So
there's
been
some
successful
attempts
we've.
No!
This
is
not
popular
everywhere.
What
we've
brought
down
the
left
churning
from
the
bridge
in
the
peak
hours
in
the
morning,
so
that
people
are
encouraged
to
use
oral
Armstrong
online
back,
which
is
what
they're
meant
to
accommodate
in
terms
of
volume
and
speed.
So
we've
done
a
bunch
of
measures.
I
This
is
not
the
first
thing
that
we've
done
and
we've
brought
it
here,
because
a
lot
of
the
residents
that
are
in
honey,
Gables
front
on
to
River
Road-
and
this
is
a
fairly
small
stretch
of
road
that
we're
bringing
down,
and
you
can
read
the
report
where
Diane
takes
about
this.
But
I
don't
agree
about
the
part,
that's
further
north,
where
it's
80,
because
there
are
no
residential
units
there.
I
But
on
this
stretch
that
I'm
looking
at
specifically
the
residents
do
front
onto
River
Road
and
a
lot
of
them
have
a
difficult
time
getting
out
of
their
driveways
with
increased
volumes
of
traffic
and
councillor.
Drew's
is
talking
about
the
stretch.
South
I
mean
there's
a
reason.
I
know
it's
not
it'll
have
three
different
speeds
along
or
for
whatever
that
you
have.
I
Most
people
are
going
northbound
on
the
issues
and
in
councilor
drawers.
This
board
are
different
than
the
ones
that
are
in
my
area.
Councillor
Keynes,
so
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
those
points
for
those
who
are
not
aware
of,
as
well
as
the
dynamics
in
terms
of
the
traffic
impacts
of
change
and
I
want
to
show
everyone
that
we
do
have
by
and
in
fact
the
Community
Association
are
supportive
of
these
recommendations
and
I
know,
what's
being
count
for
the
reasons
that
comes
from
often
pointed
out,
not
necessarily
for
the
report
itself.
B
Taking
mr.
Merrick
I
guess
when
it
comes
to
this
issue,
I
do
understand
the
counselor
DeRosa
is
saying
because
we
had
to
say
Michigan
st.
Joseph
Boulevard
work,
the
traffic
speed
was
changing
every
block
after
block
and
it
was
creating
a
lot
of
the
confusion
and
a
lot
of
frustration
for
the
residents.
However,
I
guess
in
this
instance.
B
A
Q
A
J
Thank
you.
Mr.
mayor
I
have
no
issue
with
the
motion.
The
wording
of
the
motion
is
such
that
it
requires
consultation
with
the
local
ward
councillor
I'm
happy
to
support
this
one.
If
I
have
a
commitment
from
staff
that
if
it
were
proposed
for
Coupee
ward
or
any
other
Ward
that
the
ward
councillor
will
actually
have
a
final
say
over
it,.
F
B
Resolved

council
result
in
camera

to

Okay,

Please

that
five-minute
