A
B
B
B
Longtime
city
councillor
for
Nepean,
the
regional
government
and
the
City
of
Ottawa
I'll
serve
the
residents
of
Nepean
as
an
elected
official
from
1973
until
2000.
He
contributed
to
the
city
in
many
ways,
but
today
I
like
to
make
a
special
note
of
as
share
of
the
Nepean
library
board.
He
had
the
foresight
to
ensure
the
library
the
Ruthie
Dickenson
branch
was
incorporated
to
design
the
Walter
Baker
Center
to
create
a
community
hub
in
bar
Haven.
B
As
chair
of
the
region's
Transit
Commission,
he
was
instrumental
in
helping
to
modernize
OC
Transpo
with
investments
in
new
articulated
buses,
new
parking
lines,
improve
relationships
with
staff
and
annual
increases
in
ridership
a
longtime
public
servant.
Mr.
Loney
was
still
committed
to
the
residents
of
his
city
long
after
he
left
politics
as
executive
director
of
the
Council
on
Aging
of
Ottawa
I'll
played
an
important
part
in
forming
the
older
adult
plan
and
its
implementation.
A
funeral
service
will
be
held
in
the
garden
chapel
at
Tubman
Funeral
Homes,
on
Monday
October,
19th
and
11
a.m.
B
his
family
has
asked
that
memorial
donations
be
made
to
the
Council
on
Aging
of
Ottawa
and
the
Nepean
Museum
reserve
fund.
As
many
of
you
know,
Ottawa
recently
experienced
the
great
loss
of
one
of
our
city's
biggest
boosters
max,
keeping
max
was
truly
captain
Ottawa
and
our
city
was
blessed
to
have
him
as
a
member
of
our
community
as
a
journalist.
He
was
part
of
our
dinner
hour
every
night
as
he
shared
important
stories
of
our
world
and
our
city
as
a
community
leader.
B
B
That
max
raised
over
million
dollars
in
funds
in
the
Ottawa
area
for
important
causes,
although
many
would
argue
that
this
is
not
his
biggest
contribution,
whether
you
met
him
once
or
you've
known
him
in
a
lifetime
max
left
a
lasting
impression
on
every
person's
life.
He
touched
more
than
using
his
celebrity
to
support
local
charities
are
raising
funds
for
causes,
like
geo
max,
was
always
willing
to
roll
up
his
sleeves
and
get
the
job
done.
B
Whether
it
was
the
simple
act
of
spending
time
with
a
terminally,
ill,
patient
or
supporting
a
family
from
his
own
personal
resources.
There
was
nothing
max
would
not
give
of
himself
to
help
those
in
need.
He
had
an
incredibly
giving
nature
and
our
city
is
the
stronger
for
it
in
a
pentagon
cool.
He.
B
Is
on
a
per
capita
basis,
the
most
giving
city
in
Canada,
both
in
terms
of
financial
contributions
and
hours
of
volunteer
time?
This
was
due
in
no
small
part
to
his
leadership
in
creating
what
he
referred
to
as
the
culture
of
caring
max
encouraged,
all
of
us
to
reach
higher
and
dream
bigger
and
everything
we
do.
He
leaves
with
us
a
community
legacy
that
has
ours
to
not
only
protect
but
build
upon.
B
C
You
mr.
mayor
I,
first
had
a
chance
to
witness
the
power
of
Isabella.
He
calls
vocal
cords
on
the
soccer
field
three
years
ago.
That's
her
coach
I
could
always
count
on
Isabella
to
issue
a
loud
roar
whenever
she,
the
ball
out
of
our
endzone,
obviously
are
sorry.
The
back
part
of
our
field,
always
very
Abele
I
should
add.
Little
did
I
know,
then,
that
those
powerful
vocal
cords
which
she
exhibited
on
the
soccer
pitch
could
also
be
deployed
to
impressive
musical
effect
so
fast
forward.
C
She
has
sung
at
many
of
the
fairs
in
the
Ottawa
Valley,
as
well
as
for
the
Children's
Wish
Foundation
Rodgers
has
heartwood,
has
charity
events
and
at
the
governor-general's
Christmas
reception,
she's
performed
at
the
2014
and
2015
Ottawa
blues,
fest,
music
festivals
and,
most
recently,
even
saying
in
Pebble
Beach
California
at
the
prestigious
same
event
you
can
see
in
here
more
of
Isabella.
You
can
visit
her
Facebook
page
Isabella,
Nicole
music,
as
well
as
her
YouTube
channel
Isabella
Nicole
Isabella.
Thank
you
for
coming
and
over
to
you.
A
A
A
B
Well,
that
was
wonderful.
Thank
you
very,
very
much
for
a
very
impressive
rendition
of
our
National
Anthem
and
our
merci
beaucoup.
At
this
time.
It's
my
honor
to
call
upon
a
Randy
born
Randy
could
come
forward
and
also
Randy's
counselor
Tim
Tierney
Tim
is
right
here
come
on
up
Randy.
Now
this
is
a
bit
of
a
surprise
for
Randy,
because
Randy
fought
his
whole
committee
was
getting
this
award,
but
it's
actually
just
you
so
come
on
over
here
and
stand
beside
Tim.
So
I
just
surprised
you
like
that.
B
B
A
longtime
philanthropist
in
the
community,
Randy
Boren,
has
touched
the
lives
of
the
youth
seniors
and
everyone
in
between
in
his
community
as
an
indispensable
volunteer
with
councilor
tyrannies
celebrate
summer
committee.
Randy's
dedication
is
always
a
driving
factor
to
bringing
fun
and
important
community
events
to
life
each
and
every
year
and
Beacon
Hill
serval.
In
fact,
Randy
was
under
the
impression,
as
I
mentioned,
that
is.
He
was
here
to
receive
the
award
with
his
fellow
committee
members,
who
are
here.
B
However,
councillor
Tierney
and
members
of
the
Beacon
Hill
serial
community
thought
important
to
recognize
Randy
on
his
own
for
his
leadership
skills
and
as
many
contributions
as
national
mental
health,
illness,
Awareness
Week
just
past.
It's
fitting
that
we
can
recognize
Randy's,
year-round
commitment
to
the
cause
as
a
volunteer
with
the
National
Alliance
on
Mental
Illness
through
the
Alliance
randy,
teaches
a
12-week
course
to
help
families
with
loved
ones
suffering
from
mental
illness.
Randy
is
also
a
strong
advocate
for
seniors
in
our
community
randy

Eliade

B
B
Their
homes
randy
helps
organize
meals
on
wheels
program
through
the
eastern
Ottawa
Resource
Center
Meals
on
Wheels,
of
course,
as
we
know
as
an
essential
nonprofit
in
our
city,
which
provides
nutritious
meals
daily
check-ins
and
companionships
for
many
of
our
senior
citizens
in
all
parts
of
Ottawa.
Mr.
Boren
still
manages
to
find
time
to
volunteer
with
the
youth
of
our
city
as
well.
Randy
has
been
a
longtime
cups
and
Boy
Scout
leader
t-ball
coach,
and
teaches
a
regular
religion
class
to
elementary
students
at
his
local
church,
Thank
You
Randy.
B
Thank
you
very
much
Randy
and
take
you
to
family
and
friends
for
here,
I
now
like
to
ask
mr.
Stan
Stapleton
union
of
Solicitor,
General
employees,
national
president
Michael
Allen
secretary,
the
board
and
president
and
CEO
of
the
United
Way
of
Ottawa
and
Marco
Pagani,
president
of
the
Community
Foundation
of
Ottawa.
If
they
could
all
come
forward
at
this
time
for
a
very
special
presentation.
B
As
many
of
you
know,
we
here
at
the
City
of
Ottawa
I've
been
taking
action
on
the
tragedy
known
as
the
Syrian
refugee
crisis.
Earlier
this
month
we
held
a
public
forum
here
in
Ottawa,
City
Hall,
where
people
who
are
looking
to
assist
with
this
cause
and
over
1,000
people
turned
out
to
show
their
support
and
find
out
how
they
could
help
I'm
happy
to
say
that
response
was
very
positive
and
I'm,
proud
that
our
city
and
our
residents
are
stepping
up
to
the
plate
to
help
those
who
are
in
need
of
our
assistance.
B
Impressive
history,
when
it
comes
to
supporting
refugees
and
we're
showing
that
we
are
a
caring
and
generous
community,
not
only
our
residents
but
also
a
number
of
localised
organizations,
community
groups
are
finding
ways
to
help
to
contribute
to
this
important
cause
and
I.
Thank
our
entire
committee
for
this
incredible
response.
We
have
a
wonderful
example
of
that
community
support
here
today
at
City
Council
Loserville
in
we.
B
A
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
mausi,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
members
of
the
union
of
Solicitor
General
employees.
They
sent
the
café's
employee
to
solicit,
as
you
know,
work
every
day
to
keep
Canadians
safe.
We
work
as
parole
officers,
detachment
assistance
and
a
wide
variety
of
other
positions
within
Corrections
RCMP
justice,
Human,
Rights,
Commission
and
12
other
departments
that
focus
on
law
enforcement,
Public,
Safety
and
human
rights.
We
have
over
4,000
members
in
the
Ottawa
alone,
us
GE
members
are
proud
of
what
we
do
every
day
to
ensure
the
safety
and
security
of
Canadians.
A
So
when
we
heard
about
the
crisis
in
Syria
and
the
tremendous
insecurity
and
human
rights
violations
that
Syrian
refugees
are
facing,
we
wanted
to
help.
We
are
pleased
to
present
this
cheque
for
$15,000
and
very
much
hope
that
inspires
other
organizations
to
act
while
providing
some
support
to
people
who
are
very
much
in
need.
F
Mr.
mayor
mr.
Stapleton
I,
thank
you
Michael
al
is
my
name
I'm
with
the
United
Way
and
and
together
with
the
Community
Foundation,
we
are
together
supporting
United
for
Refugees
the
initiative
that
we
have
brought
forward
to
support
the
mayor's
leadership
around
this.
This
initiative,
the
union
movement,
has
a
long
and
distinguished
and
impressive
history
of
commitment
to
community
issues,
and
this
is
but
yet
another
example,
mr.
Stapleton.
So
thank
you
on
behalf
of
the
United
Way
and
I
know.
My
colleague
Marco
will
speak
on
behalf
of
the
Community
Foundation.
F
Both
of
our
organizations
were
very,
very
honored
to
have
been
asked
by
the
mayor
to
respond
to
a
call
that
he
offered
to
the
community
to
organize
our
efforts
around
responding
to
this
crisis
and
the
opportunity
that
there
was
presented
in
the
community
to
help
your
natural
organizations
for
that
and
we're
honored
to
be
have
been
asked.
But
we
bring
to
this
task
the
capacities
that
we
have
the
resources
that
we
bring
were
out
there
in
the
community
now
raising
money
for
many
many
other
aspects
of
our
work
for
seniors.
F
But
this
is
an
area
that
is
very
much
part
of
our
work,
so
it's
an
honor
to
have
been
asked
and
thank
you
again,
mr.
mayor
and
members
of
council,
for
the
leadership
that
you
have
brought
to
this
work.
Mr.
Stapleton,
thank
you,
sir,
for
your
leadership.
I
know
that,
while
you
didn't
say
it
I'm
happy
to
say
it
for
you
as
a
fundraiser
that
this
is
intended
as
a
challenge
to
other
members
of
the
labor
movement.
A
Thank
you,
Michael,
first
of
all,
I
have
to
say
congratulations
to
the
mayor
and
the
city
for
their
leadership
and
a
coordinated
effort
under
the
umbrella
of
United
for
Refugees,
along
with
other
organizations
across
the
city.
We
flowe
truly
privileged
to
be
part
of
this
coordinated
effort
and
then
from
what
I
can
understand.
It's
probably
the
first
time
everybody
in
the
city
has
actually
operated
in
a
coordinated
and
synchronized
way
across
fundraisers
the
municipality
settlement
agencies
and
others.
So
congratulations
again
to
the
mayor
for
that
leadership.
A
Right
now
we
are
facing
the
worst
humanitarian
crisis
in
the
world
and
it's
times
of
these
crises,
both
here
and
abroad,
where
Ottawa
steps
up-
and
this
is
just
the
most
recent
example
at
the
Community
Foundation
of
Ottawa-
were
committed
to
working
closely
with
our
donors
and
other
community
partners
to
create
positive,
systemic,
sustainable
change
to
our
city,
so
that
we
can
fulfill
our
ultimate
potential.
It
is
really
an
honor
again
to
be
participating
in
helping
the
refugees
that
are
suffering
this
plight.
A
Ottawa
has
a
rich
history
and,
as
we
know,
many
of
these
people
that
end
up
in
Ottawa
are
not
only
community
builders
with
some
of
them
are
nation
builders
as
well,
so
on
behalf
of
the
community
foundation,
congratulations
Michael!
Thank
you
again,
mr.
mayor
and
a
big
thank
you
to
mr.
Stapleton
in
the
union
of
Solicitor
General
employees
at
its

your
generous
support.

K
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
on
behalf
of
the
auto
appeal
and
Development
Corporation
and
its
board
of
directors.
It's
my
pleasure
to
share
with
you
the
annual
report
for
2014
I,
also
like
to
make
thanks
to
John
hardier,
who
was
the
previous
chair
of
this
committee,
for
all
the
work
that
she
did
during
the
last
term
of
Council
and
which
we
actually
are
reporting
on
now.
K
Since
this
report
represents
the
final
year
from
the
previous
General
Counsel
they've
chosen
to
focus
on
the
achievements
of
the
OSI
LDC
since
inception
in
2009,
and
also
the
results
in
the
last
three
and
a
half
years
as
chair
I'm,
very
proud
of
our
accomplishments
to
date
and
pleased
to
present
the
financials
nocl
IDC
report
and
report
in
order
to
financial
statements
to
Council
today
and
I'm
joined
here
by
mr.
McNair,
who
is
the
staff
representative
or
board
member
of
our
staff
actually
of
auto
clean
lines,
as
well
as
it's
jobs
with
the
city?
K
Our
mandate
is
to
remote
and
undertake
community
improvements
in
the
City
of
Ottawa
to
improve
beautify,
maintain
yourself
municipal,
owned
land,
buildings
and
structures
for
the
benefit
of
the
community.
We
achieve
this
by
planning
subdividing
developing
sites,
constructing
operating
and
maintaining
adequate,
but
acquiring
holdings,
selling,
leasing
and
disposing
undertaking,
or
conducting
studies,
research
and
design
work,
conducting
public
marketing
and
advertising
other
complementary
activities.
K
So
the
goal
of
City
Council
we
formed
this
organization
in
2009
was
to
develop
a
corporation
that
was
to
achieve
those
objectives.
So
our
mandate
is
to
obtain
optimal
value
pertaining
to
both
financial
and
non-financial
community
value,
and
that,
of
course,
helps
us
with
the
bottom
line
of
our
budget.
This
is
based
on
four
pillars
that
emphasize
the
concern
for
financial,
social,
environmental
and
cultural
sustainability.
K
So
our
goals
in
our
to
initiate
a
single
point
of
accountability
to
balance
municipal
objectives
and
guiding
principles,
meaning
enter
into
subdivision
agreements
engaged
in
community
consultant
consultation.
We
segregate
the
duties
between
the
owner
and
the
approval
body
we've
just
business
issues
related
to
development.
We
maintained
a
focused
delivery
to
make
sure
we
can
market
these
properties
quickly,
but
in
a
very
positive
way
for
the
community
and
we
build
on
community
objectives.
K
So
the
successes
we've
had
are
many
fold,
but
it's
it
is
that
we
have
a
commitment
to
public
consultation
prior
to
and
during
the
planning
process.
The
importance
of
enhancing
the
quality
of
life
in
communities
is
another
of
our
major
points
of
our
operation,
and
these
have
to
be
responsive
to
current
democratic
trends
and
what
the
needs
are
of
communities.
K
So
what
the
results
of
this
have
been
when
community
improvements,
we
support
the
develop
of
institutional
community
use
in
some
locations,
we
facilitate
the
development
of
adding
1,800
new
residential
units
kidding
to
vary
demographics.
We've
provided
lands
for
the
development
of
affordable
housing
units
and
we
protected
17
hectares
of
natural
environment
area
and
power
plant.
The
revenue
results
have
been
very
positive
much
higher
than
we
originally
had
anticipated.
We
generate
at
53
million
at
growth
sales
revenue
for
the
term
of
council
from
2010
to
2014.
K
We
contribute
32
million
of
the
net
dividends
to
the
city
of
Otto
of
us
after
our
expenses
and
costs,
and
we
promoted
developments
that
will
generate
an
estimate,
annual
property
tax
revenue
of
5.5
million.
The
success
also
achieved
goals:
the
financial,
social,
environmental
and
cultural
about
matters
that
are
important
to
the
city.
They
we
exceeded
our
annual
requirement
tagra
target
of
22
million
dollars,
which
is
based
on
producing
5.5
million
per
year
for
each
of
the
last
four
years,
so
we've
exceeded
that
by
more
than
10
million
dollars,
so
that
mr.
K
chair
is
the
results
of
setting
up
the
organization
just
four
or
five
years
ago,
and
it
has
actually
made
a
difference
already
to
the
revenues
of
the
city
and
we're
going
to
be
continuing
in
the
next
year.
To
add
to
that,
we
have
a
four
year
plan
to
provide
revenues
for
each
term
of
this
council.
If
you
have
any
questions,
we
very
happy
to
do
that.
The
reports

includes

I
want

the

A
B
B
B
E
I
Chair
with
respect
to
the
draft
wildlife
protocol
in
this
title
arises
from
the
July
2013
discussion
around
a
wildlife
strategy.
As
part
of
that
discussion,
there
was
thought
to
create
the
position
of
a
wildlife
resource
officer.
I
think
this
came
up
a
bit
during
our
planning
committee
discussion,
but
I'm
still
seeking
clarity.
Is
it
staffs
intention
to
propose
a
wildlife
resource
officer
at
the
City
of
Ottawa?
Would
it
have
any
advantages
in
terms
of
working
across
the
silos
and
ties
into
a
second
question
that
I
have
around
that
position?
I
I'm
trying
to
understand
how
we're
going
to
determine
whether
or
not
the
JAC
wildlife
protocol
is
is
working.
Whether
people
are
following
it
and
wouldn't
having
a
wildlife
resource
officer
at
the
City
of
Ottawa.
Who
can
monitor
its
successes
or
failures,
be
a
good
idea.
So
do
we
or
do
we
not
have
plans
to
create
a
wildlife
resource
officer
at
the
city.
H
H
H
In
the
planning
and
growth
management
department
we
have
a
land-use
and
natural
systems
policy
group.
We
have
approximately
twenty
twelve
FTEs
in
that
group,
so
we
have
in-house
planning,
environmental
biology,
expertise
and
it's
that
group
that
develops
the
policy
or
and
develop
the
policy
for
the
wildlife
strategy.
So
we
believe
we
have
adequate
in-house
resources
to
continue
to
deal
with
the
necessary
environmental
planning
policy
work
that
we
have
to
do.
K
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
was
at
the
planning
committee
when
this
is
discussed,
and
it
does
have
a
big
impact
on
my
ward,
because
I
have
a
lot
of
Natural
Environment
areas
that
are
moving
into
development.
What
I
proved
out
that
protocol
they're
critical
I
think
it's
extremely
well-written
and
has
a
lot
of
good
information
in
it,
but
we're
lacking
anything
about
how
we're
going
to
implement
it,
and
it
was
mentioned
that
the
committee
that
it
could
be
done
through
plans
of
subdivision
as
conditions
of
subdivision
and
other
ways
of
doing
it.
K
But
I
would
like
to
give
some
direction
to
staff.
If
I
could,
mr.
mayor
that
that
we
actually
direct
staff
that
when
they
are
looking
at
new
plans
of
subdivision,
they
consider,
if
there's
wildlife
in
the
area
that
they
have
a
condition
in
the
subdivision,
a
plan
that
would
mean
that
they
they
are
required
to
follow
the
protocol
so
that
we
have
somewhat
sign
of
teeth
of
actually
getting
it
to
happen
as
opposed
to
just
having
it
loose
that
it
may
or
may
not
be
and
I
know.
H
Mr.
mayor,
to
clarify
the
protocol
itself
is
a
guide
or
a
reference
for
staff
involved
in
in
planning
to
care
to
carry
out
or
ensure
that
there's
protection
during
the
time
of
construction.
It's
not
per
se
requirement
of
development,
but
it
is
something
that
our
staff
will
engaged
applicants
in
when
they
come
in
with
proposals
that
warrant
the
applicability
of
this
protocol.
I.
K
Understand
that,
but
they
it's
as
very
loose
right
now
and
I
know
it
is
a
guideline.
I
have
no
problem
with
that.
I'm.
Just
saying
that,
if
the
condition
should
be
that
the
developer
will
work
with
staff
to
follow
the
wildlife
protocol
as
applicable
to
their
development
that
that's
in
their
conditions
of
subdivision
approval,
then
they
have
to
talk
to
staff
about
it
at
the
moment
they
could
ignore
anything.
Staff
says
because
it's
not
mandated
it's
not
possible
to
do
something
of
that
nature
in
the
conditions
of
either
site
plan
or
of
a
subdivision
application.
H
Mr.
mayor,
as
we
presented
this
matter
to
Planning
Committee
and
now
before,
council
we're
recommending
this
be
a
guideline
at
this
stage,
our
staff
will
of
course,
work
with
applicants
when
it's
applicable,
but
we're
not
recommending
that
it
be
a
requirement.
That's
followed
up
on
on
every
application.
That's.
K
Not
what
I'm
asking
for
I
am
asking
that
a
guideline
can
sit
on
a
shelf
and
nothing
happened
with
it.
I
was
saying
that
in
putting
the
plans
of
so
division,
you
simply
require
that
they
discuss
it
with
staff
and
use
it
were
applicable.
That
means
that
staff
can
do
exactly
what
you've
just
said:
I'm
just
making
sure
that
that
act,
that
discussion
actually
happens
and
that
stuff's
take
a
look
at
it.
K
H
Mr.
mayor
I
can
assure
you
that
won't
be
the
case.
We've
even
changed
the
checklist
that
happens
at
our
pre-application
consultation
stage
and
ensuring
that
an
applicant
knows
at
that
very
earliest
date
before
something's
even
come
in
that
this
protocol
is
now
in
place
as
something
we'll
be
doing
so.
K
Could
you
then
send
us
a
memo
to
staff
to
counsel
telling
us
how
you
are
the
Colette's
is
something
you're
doing
it's
not
in
the
protocol,
but
how
you
are
using
the
protocol
so
that
we
have
some
assurance
of
how
it's
being
used,
because
I
think
that
would
give
that
some
assurance,
because
you're
doing
I
know
you're
going
to
do
that.
But
you
won't
be
here
forever
and
the
people
change
and
they
are
they
follow
or
don't
follow
it.
I
don't
want
to
have
it
rigid
and
I
agree
with
you
on
that
they.
B
B
J
The
new
word
of
the
day,
mr.
maryk,
just
a
question,
put
two
quick
questions
to
staff
regarding
reporting
back
to
committee.
It
the
motion
indicates
that
committee
will
receive
an
update
in
q1.
Will
this
be
before
the
city
goes
public
with
this
and
before
the
various
institutions
and
entities
are
approached
by
the
city,
or
will
that
happen
first
and
then
we
get
a
report
or
it's
the
report.
First
and.
I
They're,
the
concentration
will
take
place
prior
to
the
coming
back
to
committee
and
council
with
the
input
we
get
from
the
affected
stakeholders,
so
the
consultation
will
take
place
first
and
then
council
and
committee
will
be
informed
of
the
learning
that's
done
through
that
stakeholder
approach
and
will
provide
further
details
on
the
program
and
our
approach.
Okay,.
J
I
We
heard
your
comment
and
took
it.
You
know
we
will
develop
that
into
our
communications
plan
on
this
program,
so
that
everyone
is
is
well
aware
of
the
benefits
and
the
requirements
of
this
program
going
forward,
and
our
focus,
as
you
can
appreciate,
will
be
on
those
impacted
stakeholders
very
clearly,
but
we'll
also
make
sure
the
general
awareness
is
provided
as
well.
Thank.
B
M
M
N
Mr.
mayor,
the
the
number
of
six
point:
nine
million
is
for
all
revenues
and
user
fees,
as
the
title
indicates,
and
that
includes
elements
of
new
revenues
that
staff
are
looking
at
non
fare
box.
Revenues
that
we're
hoping
to
be
able
to
generate
an
example
would
be
in
terms
of
new
programs
for
servicing
events
in
the
city.
M
Thank
you
so
my
next
question,
then,
is
more
clarification.
Actually,
maybe
page
six
under
taxation
targets.
It
notes
that
the
amount
of
new
taxation
revenues
generated
from
new
properties
as
a
percentage
of
the
taxation
base
is
declining.
So
does
that
mean
that
revenue
growth
is
not
funding
our
funding
growth,
like
so
the
1.3
percent
from
our
revenue,
growth
I'm?
Assuming
that
that's
what
we're
talking
about
here,
that
it
is
that
it
is
declining
as
a
percentage
of
the
taxation
base.
G
So
we
have
basically
historically
we've
seen
about
two
percent
assessed
from
growth
every
year,
new
properties
added
to
the
tax
rule.
But
what
we've
seen
in
the
last
couple
of
years?
We
had
a
decline
already
in
2015
and
we
had
a
decline,
a
slot,
a
small
decline
in
2014,
but
we've
seen
just
from
the
information
we're
getting
from
the
municipal
property
assessment
corporation
were
only
anticipating
that
we
will
1.3
percent
increase
in
taxation
revenue
generated
from
new
properties
being
added
to
the
role
so.
G
Cost
of
growth
are
not
constants;
they
don't
actually
go
up
in
parallel
with
the
increase
in
the
assessment,
because,
as
you
know,
you,
when
you
have
a
increase
in
your
costs
to
growth
when
you
bring
on
a
recreation
facility
outcomes
on
all
in
one
year.
So
it's
a
bit
step
like
with
respect
to
to
growth,
but
I.
Think
in
this
budget
we
are
actually
able
to.
If
you
just
hang
on
a
sec
here,
I
think
we
are
forecasting
both
at
11
million
dollars,
and
the
1.3
percent
should
generate
enough
to
cover
that.
Okay.
M
Thank
you
for
that.
Just
the
in
terms
of
the
proposed
budget
strategies
now,
I
guess
Mike.
My
biggest
concern
is
the
the
efficiencies
and
what
we're
predicting
around
the
efficiencies
that
there's
significant
numbers.
13
million
fifteen
point:
seven,
seventeen
point:
nine
million.
You
know
in
our
last
term
of
council
thought
we
did
quite
well.
We
invested
some
eighty
million
dollars
and
that
produced
40
million
annually.
M
So
this
is
similar.
This
is,
you
know,
just
a
little
less
than
half
that
so
I.
Just
wonder
you
know
what
will
be?
What
are
the
investments
that
we're
going
to
be
making
going
into
next
year
and
the
following
few
years,
and
and
have
we
done
that
return
on
investment?
Do
we
know
what
those
those
business
cases
look
like.
N
Mr.
mayor,
the
numbers
that
the
councillors
focusing
on
are
the
the
right
numbers
they
add
up
to
about
47
million
dollars
over
the
three
at
the
next
meeting.
Three
years
of
this
term
of
council
I
can
tell
you
that
the
staff
have
I
believe
good
ideas,
ideas
that
council
would
find
acceptable
to
to
achieve
fifteen
to
seventeen
million
dollars
of
that
at
the
moment.
So
we're
right
now
we're
looking
at
a
gap
or
a
target
savings
target
of
about
thirty
million
dollars
that
needs
to
be
achieved
over
the
remaining
three
years
of
this
term.
N
A
lot
of
that
is
front
ended,
and
that
comes
from
fixing
some
of
the
base
budget
issues
that
are
contributors
to
the
deficit
that
we're
incurring
this
year.
But
the
guideline
document
recommends
a
strategy
where,
through
the
use
of
some
one-time
funds,
we're
able
to,
as
the
treasurer
indicated
at
fedko
last
week,
create
runway
for
the
organization
so
that
we're
going
to
need
to
find
about
eight
million
in
2016,
10
and
17
and
12
in
2018,
and
when
I
was
asked
the
question
at
fedko
last
week.
N
That's
in
front
of
you
today,
I
indicated
that
I
would
use
the
word
confident,
but
I
would
be
careful
to
characterize
that
it's
going
to
be
very
difficult
work,
just
going
to
need
to
be
a
major
effort
put
into
this
with
some
significant
difficult
decisions
to
make
and
that
and
when
some
members
of
committee
asked
why
they
could
be
confident
that
this
was
an
achievable
target
in
terms
of
considering
these
guidelines.
I
think
an
important
part
of
responding
to
that
is
the
motion
that
councilor
egg
ly
tabled
at
fedko.
N
That's
in
front
of
you
here
today
to
where
I
think
it
is
important
that,
as
we
develop
the
the
planned
approaches
to
find
those
savings
that
we
share
those
firmly
with
committee
and
Council,
and
that
we
report
back
on
the
oversight
and
the
achievement
of
those.
As
as
we
move
through
the
three
years.
M
So
when
the
when
the
budget
is
tabled,
are
we
gonna
have
in
front
of
us
to
make
that
our
decision
on
whether
we
agree
that
1.75
percent
is
achievable
with
these
efficiencies?
Are
we
gonna
have?
Are
we
gonna
have
that
in
front
of
us?
Are
we
gonna
know
how
we're
going
to
how
we're
expected
to
achieve
those
efficiencies
so
we're?
We
know
whether
there
are
going
to
be
any
adjustments
to
programs
any
adjustments
to
service
standards.
Any
adjustments
to
say
use
your
fees,
I
guess
you
know
what
I'm
going
obviously
is.
M
It
would
be
difficult
for
me
to
accept
a
budget
going
forward,
not
knowing
where
that
is,
and
then
a
year
later,
finding
out
well
yeah.
We
found
them,
but
we
found
them
through.
I,
don't
know
cuts
to
childcare,
cuts
to
social
services
or
you
know,
increase.
You
know
cuts
to
our
recreation
services.
Are
we
going
to
know
what
we're
voting
for
once
it's
table
like?
M
Will
we
see
those
investments
and
will
receive
the
business
case
for
the
return
on
investment,
and
will
we
see
what
those
efficiencies
look
like
I
understand
that
we
don't
see
it
today
and
I'm?
Okay,
with
going
forward
with
the
budget
directions
today,
but
I
guess
what
I'm
you
know
what
I'm
asking
is:
will
I
have
that
in
front
of
me
as
as
a
council,
to
be
able
to
determine
what
my
level
of
support
for
the
budget
is
going
forward.
N
So,
mr.
mayor,
the
the
budget
documentation
that
your
that
is
tabled
in
November
with
you
will
identify
in
for
the
2016
budget,
where
management
is
recommended
Council,
we
allocate
those
savings
targets
so,
for
instance,
the
the
portion
that
we
have
savings
that
we
know
how
we're
going
to
achieve
them.
We
will
provide
councils
information
on
that
and
then,
as
it
indicated
a
few
minutes
ago,
there's
probably
going
to
be
something
in
the
order
of
eight
million
dollars.
That
will
be
a
target
that
we
are
through
the
work
that
the
document
outlines.
N
We
are
going
to
identify
and
go
after
and
implement
in
order
to
achieve
those
base
budget
savings
in
2016,
but
we
will
target
those
against
departments
and
you'll
see
those
targets
in
the
table
budget
what's
in
mid
processing,
its
implicit
should
be
explicit,
more
explicit
in
the
document,
and
of
course
this
is
an
issue
that
I
know,
counsel
would
have
a
lot
of
concern
with.
We
will
not
be
planning
to
make
adjustments
to
service
levels
to
achieve
those
savings
without
telling
Council
about
that.
If
that's
what
we're
recommending.
N
So
when
we
table
the
2016
budget,
if
there
are
proposed
service
levels,
adjustments
and
right
now,
the
direction
is
that
we
are
to
look
for
savings
in
efficiencies
that
don't
affect
frontline
service
delivery.
But
if
there
were
to
be
those
any
that
we
would
recommend
for
councils,
consideration
we'd
be
explicit
about
that.
I
Thank
you,
Thank
You,
mr.
chair,
the
I
want
to
come
back
to
the
issue
of
trans
affairs
for
a
moment,
I
think
our
approach
in
past
has
been
a
fairly
regular
and
certain
predictable
two-and-a-half
percent
increase
in
the
average
fare
and
I'm
just
wondering
when
I
take
a
look
on
page
228
of
the
report.
The
only
mention
made
Affairs
is
that,
in
addition,
the
level
of
fare
revenues
from
annual
increases
must
be
sufficient
to
move
towards
councils
revenue,
cost
ratio,
target
of
55
percent.
N
Mr.
mayor,
the
as
I
indicated
in
response
to
councillor
Mackenzie's
question,
it
is,
and
as
council
knows
from
discussion
this
summer,
staff
are
currently
reviewing
the
affordability
analysis
that
was
presented
to
Council
in
2013
around
the
transportation
master
plan.
There
are
issues
with
respect
to
assessment,
growth
and
you've
heard
from
the
treasurer
earlier
today
that
it's
lower
than
it
has
been
in
the
past.
N
So
the
question
of
fare
increases
for
16,
17
and
18
is
very
much
tied
up
in
that
analysis
and
some
of
the
work
that
specifically
indicated
in
response
to
councilman,
Kenny's
and
question.
So
it's
it's
I
guess
I'd
say
it's
premature
at
this
moment
to
speak
to
what
we
will
recommend
is
a
fare
increase
to
you
in
November,
but
that
that
those
recommendations
with
the
information
supporting
them
will
be
there
in
front
of
you
in
November,
okay,.
I
Yes,
thank
you
on
page
24,
the
report
as
some
of
the
strategies
to
offset
remaining
pressures.
There's
a
bullet.
One
of
the
strategies
we
may
pursue
is
increasing
the
user
fares
and
charges
in
line
with
the
cost
of
delivering
the
service,
as
identified
in
the
fiscal
framework.
By
what
percentage
is
the
cost
of
delivering
the
programs
for
which
we
have
fees
and
charges?
Is
that
going
up?
Is
that
going
up
by
more
than
say
the
Consumer
Price
Index
of
you
know,
2%
1.9
percent.
G
The
cost
varies
depending
on
the
service,
so
in
some
areas
it's
probably
below
the
rate
of
inflation,
but
in
other
areas
it
may
be
higher.
So
I
can't
generalize
as
to
what
it's
going
to
be
overall,
but
every
program
area
is
looking
at
the
fees
that
they
have
and
the
costs
for
delivering
that
service
and
in
moving
the
the
cost
or
the
user
fee
up
accordingly.
So.
I
I
But
we
don't
know
at
this
point
what
those
increases
are
it's
gonna
we're
gonna
have
to
wait
until
November
to
see
those
numbers.
That's
correct,
okay
in
general,
by
how
much
are
the
city's
expenses
exclusive
of
growth
related
expenses
by
how
much
are
those
rising
per
year?
How
much
do
we
expect
that
they
will
have
risen
from
2015
to
2016.
I
Wear,
of
course,
and
then
perhaps
a
question
for
the
for
the
city
solicitor
or
for
for
Kent
as
well.
This
document,
if
we
approve
it
today,
sends
staff
away
to
look
at
putting
together
a
budget
according
to
certain
directions,
but
I
think
it
also
indicates
what
council's
policy
is
with
respect
to
how
we're
going
to
build
this
budget.
I
A
C
You,
mr.
mayor,
actually
many
of
my
questions
have
been
answered,
so
I
only
have
a
couple
of
left,
certainly
as
a
general
comment.
I
think.
The
idea
of
being
ambitious
in
terms
of
finding
savings
that
do
not
affect
service
is
a
good
idea
and,
as
mr.
Kirkpatrick
said,
we'll
have
an
opportunity
to
see
what
that
looks
like
in
relation
to
the
2016
budget,
when
the
draft
budget
is
tabled.
C
As
noted
already,
you
know
it's
difficult
at
this
stage
to
know
exactly
what
that
means,
but
I'm
hopeful
and
reassured
by
the
confidence
expressed
that
there
will
be
excellent
efforts
to
try
and
find
those,
so
I
think.
That's
that
that's
a
good
thing
with
relation
to
transit
I
was
heartened
to
hear
that
there's
going
to
be
some
further
digging,
specifically
with
relation
to
the
impact
of
fare
increases
on
transit
ridership.
Certainly,
the
work
that
I've
seen
suggests
that
there
is
that
there
is
indeed
a
negative
price
elasticity
with
relation
to
further
increases
and
I
guess.
C
The
concern
is
that,
as
we
enter
into
a
2
or
3
year
period
now,
where
service
standards
on
the
transit
system
will
be
affected
in
giving
and
given
the
declining
ridership
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
the
concern
that
I
will
have
is
does
raising
fares.
Is
that
the
right
move
during
a
period
where
we're
experiencing
a
decline,
ridership
and
when
were
expecting
difficult
service
standards,
and
instead
should
we
move
more
slowly
towards
the
revenue
cost
ratio
target
with
the
objective
of
moving
more
expeditiously
in
2018
once
the
LRT
is
in
place?
C
I,
don't
know
if
that's
a
question
but
I
guess
I'll,
wait
and
see
the
results
of
the
work
when
the
draft
budget
is
tabled
and
we
get
to
see
the
work
that
OC
Transpo
has
done,
but
I
guess
what
I'm
saying
is:
I
have
a
slight
reservation
or
asterisks.
Although
again
I'm
heartened
by
the
ambition
in
this
document,
I
think
we're
gonna
have
to
look
very
closely
at
that
plan
and
I'm
going
to
be
looking
at
that
with
the
view
to
seeing
whether
a
further
increase
is
the
right
thing
to
do
at
this
stage.
C
J
J
Why
would
you
not
try
and
establish
both
of
those
components
which
both
feed
into
the
overall
revenues
of
the
organization
at
the
same
time
as
opposed
to
dealing
with
one
and
then
determining
one
at
some
future
date
because
of
the
fare
increase
is
totally
unpalatable
to
counsel
you
could
then
revise
or
reflect
on
the
transit
levy,
but
I
would
prefer
that
we
try
and
do
have
that
conversation
at
the
same
time.
So
what
is
the
explanation
for
transit
levy
now
fares
later?
J
N
Mayor,
as
you
know,
the
document
is
entitled
these
are.
These
are
budget
directions
and
guidelines
with
which
staff
working
with
the
mayor's
office
have
to
go
away
and
develop
a
budget
that
meets
those
attempts
to
meet
those
comes
back
and
tables
that
with
budget
Council,
for
its
consideration
with
detail
and
as
I
indicated,
I
think
in
response
to
both
councilor
Nussbaum
and
Kenny's
questions
at
the
hopper
doing
a
lot
of
work
policy,
work
related
to
transit,
fares
and
ridership.
Right
now,
and
it's
it's
in
my
view,
premature
for
us
to
to
to
target
an
amount.
N
We
will
be
able
to
do
that
in
November
council,
as
the
solicitor
indicated,
has
total
flexibility
in
order
to
make
decisions
about
rebalancing
or
allocations
between
levy
and
and
fare
at
that
time
and
I
would
recommend
to
council
that
you
give
us
that
additional
several
weeks
to
work
on
that.
In
order
that
you
can
have
the
best
information
in
front
of
you
for
that
consideration
and
potential
debate
as
possible.
J
Strongly
endorsed
the
analysis
that
you're
going
to
do
I
think
it's
already
been
commented
on,
but
certainly
we
have
to
look
at
what
the
impact
is
arising,
fares
on
ridership
and
also
embrace,
or
understand
that
for
some
people
this
is
their
only
means
of
transportation,
and
we
also
have
to
live
in
reality
that
our
cost
money
to
operate
a
citywide
transit
system,
but
I
certainly
do
believe.
We
need
to
have
that
discussion
about
the
trends
at
Le'veon
fares.
At
the
same
time,
my
other
questions
are
regarding
the
water
rate.
G
O
Thank
you
and
mr.
mayor
well,
Katherine
looper
is
that
question
just
got
me
harkening
back
to
the
days
when
we
used
to
talk
about
a
municipal
price
index
and
I'm
just
wondering
mr.
Kirkpatrick.
If
you
can
remind
us
why
we
stopped
stating
the
municipal
basket
of
services
that
we
deliver.
Why
we
stopped
talking
about
the
MPI
as
opposed
to
the
CPI,
and
if
other
municipalities
are
doing
that
there.
N
G
The
importance
of
scars,
the
reason
why
we
don't
talk
about
a
municipal
price
index
is
because
the
previous
Auditor
General
did
a
report
on
or
what
of
it
and
he
concluded
that
it
was
not
sufficiently
developed
and
that
we
shouldn't
use
it,
and
there
was
a
recommendation
in
that
report
that
counsel
no
longer
used
than
municipal
price
index,
which
was
adopted
by
council.
So
we
have
stopped
tracking
those
costs
and
getting
back
to
councilor
leapers
question.
The
number
is
actually
it's
between
two
point.
G
O
G
O
G
If
I
included
them,
it
probably
would
be
very
similar.
They
all
are
pleased
with
the
exception.
They
don't
seem
to
have
a
problem
that
they're
carrying
forward
through
2015
into
2016,
but
transit
is
so
I
would
expect
it
probably
just
stay
around
the
same
in
total
for
once
I
added
in
all
of
the
boards
commissions
and
even
well,
if
I
had
any
way
to
bump
it
up,
just
slightly
of
a
bridge
is
only
three
hundred
four
hundred
million
out
of
3.1
billion.
So,
okay.
O
And
then,
just
back
to
the
question
about
the
NPI,
our
other
municipalities,
using
a
municipal
price
index,
because
obviously
the
costs
of
the
items
that
are
in
the
basket
of
goods
and
services
that
the
city
is
acquiring
and
delivering
are
different
than
consumer
price
index.
So
who
is
using
that?
Or
what
are
they
using
to
reflect?
The
actual
cost
increases
in
in
spending?
O
G
Once
we
stopped
tracking
our
costs
for
MPI,
we
also
stopped
tracking,
who
is
using
it.
So
I
would
actually
have
to
go
back
and
research
that,
but
in
talking
to
my
colleagues
across
this
province,
I
know
there
are
not.
There
are
none
that
I'm,
aware
of
who
are
using
an
MPI.
They
all
set
their
tax
targets
based
on
on
what
is
they
consider
to
be
unacceptable?
What
counsel
considers
to
be
an
acceptable
level?
Okay,.
O
O
Cost
indexes
that
we're
at
least
thinking
about
the
true
cost,
because
we
might
be
painting
a
very
different
picture
of
them
when
you
talk
about
the
CPI,
but
actually
our
constant,
rising,
far
above
the
CPI.
So
maybe
it's
something
in
2016
going
forward
that
we
need
to
research
and
look
at
what
other
jurisdictions
are
doing
and
how
they
are
looking
at.
What
they're
caught
actual
costs
are
year-over-year.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
P
You
your
worship,
okay,
just
looking
at
the
description
of
budget
allocations,
given
across
the
board,
we
talked
about
1.3
percent
increase
in
taxes
resulting
from
growth
and
assessment.
Now,
over
the
years,
you
have
impressed
on
upon
council
the
fact
that
growth
in
assessment
is
not
a
net
growth
in
revenue,
it's
a
net
growth
in
costs
and
I.
Believe
one
year
you
said
that
every
new
person
coming
into
a
new
area
in
Ottawa
is
a
walking
deficit.
G
P
May
not
realize
that
they're
not
special,
but
it
it
goes
pretty
much
across
the
board.
So
that's
not
on
the
operating
side,
but
on
the
on
the
growth
side
dealing
with
with
DC's,
we
have
again
a
net
increase
in
costs
to
the
city
with
growth.
How
do
we
account
for
the
capital
costs
resulting
from
the
growth?
How
do
we
demonstrate
that
and
I
guess?
The
previous
item
on
the
agenda
today
would
have
dealt
with
some
of
that,
but,
secondly,
the
increase
in
operating
costs
of
that
growth
generates.
G
We
do
two
ways
in
the
operating
budget
itself.
We
actually
press
out
the
part
that
comes
from
growth.
Then
you
see
it
as
a
separate
as
a
separate
pressure
and
there's
a
discussion
about
what's
causing
that.
So
you
take
on
a
new
recreation
center,
you
open
up
a
new
recreation
center.
Those
operating
costs,
those
additional
staff,
whatever
it
is,
are
shown
separately.
So
you
can
see
the
costs
of
growth
in
the
capital
budget
as
well.
G
What's
happening
as
a
result
of
a
growth,
now,
a
biggest
piece
or
one
of
the
biggest
pieces
that
comes
to
us
from
growth
is
actually
not
in
our
budget
and
that's
all
what
we
can.
We
call
the
donated
assets,
which
are
the
subdivisions
that
are
built
and
then
the
sub
developer
basically
hands
it
over
to
the
city,
and
we
assume
responsibility
for
those
streets.
G
Don't
think
you
are
getting
further
away
from
it
in
terms
of
your
development
charges,
I
think
you're,
getting
closer,
I,
think
and
I
and
council
harder
can
attest
to
this.
We've
been
fairly
aggressive
with
respect
to
including
growth
projects
in
there
reducing
the
benefit
to
the
existing
making
certain
that
as
much
as
possible
within
the
parameters
of
the
existing
legislation.
Development
charges
are
collecting
the
maximum
amount
that
can
be
collected,
but
we
have
to
recognize
the
fact
that
there
is
a
portion
of
every
capital
project.
G
That's
growth
related
that
still
has
to
be
funded
from
the
city.
You
have
been
investing
more
in
in
your
contribution
to
capital
every
year,
so
it
that
is
not
so
that
city
portion
is
not
the
thing.
That's
holding
us
back
right
now
in
terms
of
growth
projects.
It
really
is
the
receipt
of
development
charges
at
this
point,
and
it's
not
because
the
calculation
is
wrong.
It's
because
growth
has
slowed
down
so
much.
Okay,.
A
You
mr.
mayor
mine
will
be
very
short.
I
just
want
to
be
clear
about
councilor
egg
wise
motion.
So
when
we
read
capital
budgets,
it's
very
clear
on
where
the
money's
going
and
the
types
of
projects
can
can.
We
is
that
motions
intent
that
we'd
see
the
same
type
of
clarity
around
the
efficiencies
that
are
found
on
the
operational
side,
I'm.
Looking
for
a
short
answer
on
this.
H
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
okay,
some
of
the
just
clarifications
there.
We
looked
at
one
point,
775
rate
increase,
which
will
bring
us
to
our
2
percent
goal.
That
is
a
direction
that
were
we're
sending
out
life
improvement.
Is
that
correct?
That's
correct!
Okay!
To
reach
our
goal.
We
are
also
looking
at
efficiencies
to
deal
with
any
other
on
any
of
the
deficits.
That
is
our
main
approach
to
reach.
G
H
G
H
6%
for
water
and
sewers,
can
you
give
us
a
guideline?
How
we
compare
with
other
cities
are
no
offense.
We've
we've
had
that
guideline
put
in
front
of
us
and
in
action
we
compare
very
well
when
all
the
major
cities
in
the
in
Canada
and
I
think
it
would
be
a
very
important
special
for
the
new
counselors
to
to
see
that
six
percent.
We
are
not
anti
and
not
yet
new
low
end
when
it
comes
to
water
and
sewer
rates.
So.
G
H
You
very
much
mr.
mayor
I,
just
I
want
to
ensure
that
there's
absolutely
no
confusion
on
the
issue
of
the
two-and-a-half
on
the
transit
levee
versus
whatever
the
potential
increase
on
the
fares
might
be,
and
I
just
want
to
make
it
absolutely
clear
that
the
direction
in
the
recommendation
today
only
relates
to
the
property
tax
transit
levy,
and
there
is
no
recommendation
whatsoever
relating
to
fares
that
is
correct.
Mr.
H
mayor
enough
and
so
I
just
want
to
reassure
council
met
and
others
that
any
fair
proposal
that
comes
forward
will
be
reflective
of
growth,
our
transit
affordability
plan
and
opportunities
for
new
revenue
sources
and
and
other
equity
issues
that
we've
been
discussing
recently
relating
to
how
fares
are
fairs
are
done.
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
mayor.
Thank.
B
You
so
just
a
couple
of
observations.
I
think
it's
important
to
remember,
as
the
treasurer
indicated
to
us
that
there
is
a
general
slowdown
in
the
economy
and
we're
seeing
that
in
housing
starts
building
permits
and
so
on
in
most
organizations
when
they
forecast
that
kind
of
lack
of
growth
they
curb
their
spending
and
that's
exactly
what
we're
asking
our
staff
to
do.
The
second
point,
with
respect
to
an
idea
that
that
was
really
set
aside
by
the
Auditor
General
was
the
municipal
price
index.
B
I,
remember
and
I
think
miss
McCloud
will
room
recall
these
days.
Every
group
that
comes
forward
has
their
own
inflation
rate.
The
hospitals
have
a
hospital
index,
the
colleges,
the
universities,
the
pharmacists,
the
doctors
and
it
usually
suits
their
purposes
because
it's
usually
higher
than
the
consumer
price
index.
Yet
all
of
us
as
citizens
have
to
live
with
the
concept
of
the
Consumer
Price
Index,
which
is
the
most
objective
measurement
of
what
inflation
is
growing
at,
as
opposed
to.
B
Let's
pick
a
sector
and
claim
that
it's
more
expensive
to
run
our
operation
than
than
anything
else.
So
I
would
strongly
urge
members
of
council
not
to
contemplate
trying
to
concoct
a
index
that
allows
us
to
ask
our
taxpayers
for
more
money,
as
opposed
to
trying
our
best
to
stick
to
as
close
as
possible
the
Consumer
Price
Index,
which,
by
the
way
last
recorded
month,
was
1%.
B
So
I
think
it's
important
that
when
we
look
at
our
spending,
we
do
our
best
to
control
our
spending
and
ensure
that
we
bring
forward
a
budget
that
is
both
balanced
and
affordable
to
all
our
taxpayers.
So
on
the
proposed
budget
timeline
and
budget
directions
carried
Descent
by
Councillor
leaper
next
is
the
harder
tarnish
ankle
Avenue
issue.
There
was
a
motion
by
Councillor
harder.
D
Thank
You
mr.
mirin.
This
is
the
need
for
this.
Technical
amendment
is
to
fold
that
setbacks
for
the
southwest
corner
of
the
building
would
have
cut
off
a
small
portion
of
the
building
so
that
it
couldn't
be
constructed
and
and
another
dimension
in
the
same
corner
was
too
long.
The
building
would
have
been
physically
constructed
on
Fifth
Avenue,
so
there's
no
change
to
what
they
intend
to
build.
We're
just
fine-tuning
the
the
application
with
a
technical
amendment
which
is
before
you
and
seconded
by
Councillor
attorney
chenko.
B
L
I
did
there
was
a
constituent
and
neighbor
and
property
holder
of
this
property
in
question
who
brought
to
planning
committee
some
concerns
about
the
the
back
lane,
both
as
an
access
route
to
be
able
to
do
repairs
on
existing
properties.
Do
repair
on
this
new
building
and,
in
particular
this
morning
raised
a
bit
of
an
alarm
if
that's
not
inappropriate
pun,
to
be
asking
the
fire
chief
about
the
fire
access.
He
particularly
referred
to
a
conversation
he
had
had
with
one
of
your
officers
and
I'm
wondering
you
I
brought
that
to
your
attention
already.
A
Americal
Sulur
did
bring
forward
this
citizens
issue
this
morning
to
me,
so
I
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
both
the
fire
engineer
and
the
acting
fire
chief
and
through
our
normal
development
process.
They
have
looked
at
this
this
modification
and
they
have
no
issues
again.
They
reassured
me
that
there
was
no
issue
from
a
firefighting
perspective
and
for
the
three
emergency
services,
they're,
really
the
ones
that
are
the
lead
for
us
because
of
their
apparatus.
There
is
no
issue
with
this
with
this
modification
that
they
have.
L
A
L
A
L
Moving
forward,
thank
you
and
this
next
question
on
on
that
Lane
and
access
to
two
roofs
to
do
repairs.
Perhaps
mr.
Moser
or
anyone
else
might
be
able
to
answer.
Is
it
standard
practice
that,
in
in
reviewing
an
application
such
as
this,
where
an
existing
lane
would
be
shrunk
or
even
eliminated,
that
city-planning
growth
management
staff
would
look
at
and
and
comment
on,
the
possibility
that
existing
property
owners
would
no
longer
be
able
to
get
work?
A
L
A
L
If
I
understand
there
is
no
existing
registered
easement,
that's
not
necessarily
the
same
thing
as
it
might
not
become
more
difficult,
get
away
from
double
negatives.
It
might
become
more
difficult
for
them
to
get
access,
but
because
there's
no
registered
easement,
that's
not
something
that
you've
felt
a
need
to
protect
or
have
a
need
to
protect
through.
A
A
L
A
B
C
You,
mr.
mayor,
if
this
item
is
passed
by
Council,
that
will
be
in
for
many
people
who
have
been
eagerly
anticipating
the
final
approvals
of
this
very
ambitious
development
within
the
core
of
our
city
131
hectares,
which
will
eventually
house
over
5,000
people,
have
over
2,000
jobs,
have
many
retail
spaces
a
traditional
Main
Street.
It
could
really
give
us
a
very
exciting
and
visionary
opportunity
to
build
new
residential
areas
differently
and
I.
Encourage
fellow
council
members
to
approve
this
plan.
C
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
in
the
audience
Don
Schultz
and
Jean
lassalle's
from
CLC
who
have
really
been
securing
what
I
think
is
probably
unprecedented
in
terms
of
a
public
consultation
process.
It
should
be
seen
really
as
a
best
practice
for
our
city.
We
heard
at
Planning
Committee
of
over
200
individual
meetings
having
taken
place.
A
public
advisory
council
set
up
really
kudos
and
thank
you
to
CLC
for
for
engaging
the
public
in
such
a
comprehensive
way.
So
now
the
hard
work
is
done
and,
unfortunately,
the
hard
work
continues.
C
We're
going
to
have
to
realize
the
ambitious
vision
in
the
CDP
and
make
sure
that
we
not
water
down
that
vision
and
work
hard
to
realize
again
what
is
going
to
be
a
visionary
and
sustainable
mixed-use
community.
The
last
note
is
one
of
the
main
challenges
for
us.
Moving
forward
is
going
to
be
transportation.
We
will
need
to
work
hard
to
achieve
the
impressive
modal
share
targets
and
really
make
sure
that
transit
and
active
transportation
are
prioritized
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
causing
further
congestion
problems
for
that
part
of
the
city.
So,
mr.
C
A
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I'm,
sorry
to
my
colleague.
Usually
we
leave
the
colleague
from
the
area
to
speak
first,
but
he
was
faster
than
me
on
the
button.
So
I
want
to
thank
also
all
the
efforts
of
the
group.
It
was
a
pleasure
to
work
with
the
community
over
the
past
few
years.
It's
an
adjacent
community
and,
as
you
know,
the
transportation
sectors
around
the
Montreal,
Road
and
all
people
are
very,
very
involved
interested.
A
It's
a
very
important
issue
for
the
councillors
community
and
ours
to
both
Toby
and
I,
sit
on
the
Business
Improvement
Association
at
a
bi4
for
cats.
Even
you
and
I
can
share
that.
Our
members
are
quite
excited
about
this
program
and
what
it
can
offer
for
the
Main
streets
in
the
area,
especially
Montreal
Road,
and
through
that
we
will
have
some
some
relook
at
elements
such
as
transit
and
access
to
the
Main
Street.
But
it's
such
an
exciting
programming
and
again
highlighted
the
efforts
of
the
Community
Care,
Alliance
Corporation
and
the
overall
consultation.
D
D
D
I
just
wanted
to
start
off
by
thanking
a
councillor
hubely,
who
was
my
partner
in
crime
and
Miss
Similac
and
mr.
Moser,
and
the
the
industry
goba
and
boma,
and
the
collaboration
that
took
place.
It's
it's
a
new
spirit
for
sure
that
we're
undertaking.
But
you
know
this
is
in
Vegas,
and
it's
not
about
we're
not
in
the
it's
Ottawa
we're
not
in
the
business
of
placing
bets
and
hoping
that
the
entero
municipal
board
rules
in
our
favor
and
we
get
lucky.
D
This
is
about
getting
a
settlement,
that's
in
the
best
interest
of
Ottawa,
and
just
so
you
know,
I
mean
all
of
you
know
that
our
number
one
priority
in
this
city
is
transit.
You
need
to
know
that
this
is
a
settlement
that
we're
all
agreed
are
doubling
the
contribution
and
development
charges
of
transit
from
six
thousand
dollars,
a
unit
to
twelve
thousand
dollars
a
unit
and
so
you're,
giving
more
to
transit,
you're,
taking
more
away
from
roads
and
I
know
for
some
people.
D
D
This
is
not
about
saving
money
for
the
industry,
although
they
will
end
up
saving,
we
will
save
as
well
it's
about
providing
a
service
at
the
level,
that's
regulated,
and
and
it's
about
making
sure
that
the
cost
that
we
are
associated
with
our
growth
and
our
investments
are
at
the
level
they
need
to
be,
as
opposed
to
the
level
that
they
could
possibly
be
at.
So
we're
into
that
with
our
eyes
wide
open.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
time
to
say
this.
This
is
a
significant
decision
that
we've
made.
Thank
you.
B
L
In
all
respects,
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
a
couple
of
questions.
Mr.
Wylie
a
moment
to
set
a
in
short
I'm
very
much
in
favor
of
this
I'm
very
much
in
favor
of
such
rapid
return,
guaranteed
return
investments
that
accomplish
both
energy
savings
and
financial
savings
in
pretty
short
order.
If
we
do
look
at
other
cities,
if
we
look
at
the
scale
of
the
opportunity
here,
I'll
be
as
play
as
I
can
and
saying.
The
city
is
a
little
late.
Getting
going
on
this
and
there's
plenty
of
work
to
be
done.
L
I
Mayor
the
project
took
a
while
to
get
going.
The
technology,
as
the
counselor
knows,
has
changed
rapidly
over
the
last
five
years,
so
we
were
really
waiting
to
capture
optimal
optimal
technology
and
we
think
we're
there
now
in
terms
of
the
implementation.
It's
largely
six
year,
implementation
for
about
58,000
lights
after
that
we'll
be
looking
at
our
decorative
lights
and
some
of
the
other
lights
in
the
city
to
tackle,
which
is
a
smaller
component
and
also
gives
you
a
smaller
payback
in
terms
of
energy
savings
is.
L
It
possible
that
actually,
by
just
crossed
my
mind
here
rather
than
a
contrived
question
for
you
here,
it's
a
possible
that,
through
that
delay,
we
might
have
actually
hit
a
sweet
spot
where
the
technology
works
better
and
is
cheaper
than
if
we
had
moved
on
it
earlier.
I
know:
that's
sometimes
a
challenge
being
on
the
leading
edge
versus
the
bleeding
edge
of
adopting
something
almost
when
it's
when
it's
too
new
mr.
I
Mayor
I
believe
so
one
of
the
features
we
are
implementing
that
isn't
being
implemented
in
other
mr.
Pelley's
that
have
gone
before
us
are
the
smart
nodes.
So
these
will
give
us
a
capability
of
not
only
dimming
lights
or
changing
the
output
of
lights,
but
also
give
us
instantaneous
messaging
when
the
light
has
failed
so
much
more
effective,
much
more
efficient
and
better
customer
service.
I
L
P
I
Mr.
mayor,
some
of
the
other
things
we
were
looking
at
were
the
lighting
levels
to
see
if
we
can
use
engineering
solutions
to
increase
the
lighting
levels
in
some
areas,
we
were
looking
at
how
it
would
have
impact
on
community
safety,
because
the
lighting
quality
is
much
whiter
quality
and
things
show
up
much
better.
So
those
are
some
of
the
things
we're
looking
at
changing
and
further
to
that,
we
did
try
some
different
fixtures
in
some
different
areas,
so
we
were
at
optimal
fixtures.
There's
number
of
fixtures
on
the
market.
Now
all.
P
I

Thank
you
I

B
D
I
would
thank
you
very
much
mr.
mayor
and
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
point
out
in
the
audience
that
we
have
some
people
that
are
grinning
big
as
grin
is
MPP
Lisa,
McLeod
and
Rowan's
mom,
and
dad
Kathleen
and
Gordon
stringer
and
other
members
there.
They
are
of
the
of
the
bar
Haven,
a
Scottish
rugby
club
and
yesterday
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
panic,
because
I
got
an
email
late
in
the
day
saying:
okay,
we've
decided.
We
want
to
call
it
Rowan's
pitch
and,
of
course,
the
notice
of
motion
had
called
it.
D
They
resulted
in
49
recommendations,
including
the
creation
of
an
Ontario
act,
to
govern
all
youth
sport
in
schools
and
outside
of
schools
to
be
known
as
Rowan's
law,
incredibly
important
piece
of
of
work
and
one
that
counts
that
counselor,
that's
in
your
next
job,
MPP
McLeod,
has
has
taken
up
and
champion
at
Queen's
Park
and
as
recently
as
yesterday,
she
sent
us
another
update
on
where
things
stand
and
it
looks
like
Roland's
law
is
going
to
be
debated
on
the
last
day
of
the
2015
session.
So
ahead
of
time,
which
is
December
the
12th.
D
So
we're
all
hoping
for
that.
I
think
that
you
know
right
after
Rowan
passed
away
the
barn,
Haven
Scottish
rugby
football
club
I
think
she
was
fill.
That
said
to
me,
you
know
we'd
like
to
rename
the
the
field
in
honor
of
Rowan.
You
took
some
time
with
us
and
this
is
the
way
I
think
a
strong
community
does
taste
a
little
bit
of
time
to
to
think
about
what's
appropriate.
So
we
believe
that
this
is
appropriate.
D
F
F
B
Thank
you
to
both
in
secular
into
mrs.
McLeod
and
mr.
mrs.
stringer,
thank
you
for
being
with
us
today
and
our
sympathies
at
the
loss
of
your
daughter.
But
as
counselor
midok
pointed
out,
there's
gonna
be
a
lasting
legacy
of
rowan
and
what
she
meant
to
the
community
at
Kinross
Park.
So
our
congratulations
and
thanks
to
counts,
are
harder
for
for
spearheading
us
on
the
motion
carried
carried.
M
You,
mr.
mayor,
yes,
this
is
a
motion
in
recognition
of
MADD
Mothers,
Against,
Drunk
drivers,
the
mad
ottawa
chapters,
20th
anniversary,
is,
is
this
year,
and
this
this
motion
would
help
to
establish
that
the
that
the
fountain
here
on
city
lands
over
on
the
Laurier
side
of
the
hall
would
be
available
to
be
dedicated
to
Tamara
Ottawa.
B
H
Thank
you,
mr.
Mehra.
This
is
notice
of
motion,
but
to
give
a
brief
overview
as
chair
of
the
library
board.
I
have
the
support
of
our
board
as
well
as
many
other
libraries
across
the
country,
we're
getting
more
and
more
of
a
challenge
as
we
want
to
get
into
the
world
of
technology.
A
book
that
may
be
typically
$14
for
a
library
to
purchase
could
be
eighty
to
a
hundred
and
thirty
dollars
for
that
very
same
book
in
electronic
format.
