Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
just
wanted
to
to
share
with
members
of
council
that
what
you're
seeing
on
Sussex
will
be
replicated
on
Mackenzie
and
it's
as
part
of
a
resurfacing
program
and
through
that
were
able
to
bring
in
the
the
those
cycling
lanes
so
that
missing
connection
and
at
the
same
time
it's.
It
was
a
great
partnership
and
discussion
with
the
American
Embassy
and
the
National
Capital
Commission
ready
for
2017
Thank
You.
Mr.
an
MMC.
A
A
A
good
morning,
it's
my
pleasure,
to
provide
an
overview
of
the
proposed
2016
budget
today,
I'm
pleased
to
tell
you
that
we
are
tabling
a
balanced
budget.
This
is
good
news
for
local
families,
residents
and
businesses,
all
of
whom
expect
us
to
live
within
our
means.
The
budget
coming
out
the
diamond
size,
respect
Yount
as
Jones
across
a
visa.
The.
A
On
our
priorities
of
transit,
affordable
housing
and
strengthening
the
local
economy,
we
will
also
protect
our
frontline
services.
In
short,
budget
2016
proposes
that
we
continue
to
be
an
activist
council
by
investing
in
what
matters
most
to
our
residents.
I
want
to
thank
our
city
manager,
treasurer
deputy
treasurer
deputy
city
managers
and
their
staffs
for
their
hard
work
on
this
budget.
I
also
want
to
thank
all
of
you
around
this
table
for
your
input,
counsel
and
guidance,
which
I
admire
enough
to
make
our
labor
pool
to
set
table
I.
Also.
A
This
table
I
have
to
discuss
your
ideas
and
priorities.
You
also
passed
along
your
ideas
provided
by
our
residents
from
across
the
city
during
the
budget
consultation
process,
and
let
me
give
you
an
overview
of
our
2016
budget
priorities.
Budget
2016
will
make
key
investments
to
create
stronger
communities,
lebu
jadid,
a
midsize
Rev
rod,
but.
A
Even
more
people
afford
to
have
a
roof
over
their
heads,
we
have
made
tremendous
progress
over
the
last
few
years
by
making
unprecedented
investments
in
our
city's
most
vulnerable.
We
now
have
far
fewer
people
living
on
the
street
than
we
did
five
years
ago
and
what
we
can
take
pride
in
this
achievement.
There
is
all
obviously
more
work
to
be
done
for
2016.
A
The
draft
budget
proposes
continuing
the
two
million
dollar
increase
in
base
funding
for
affordable
housing
and
homelessness
programs
that
we
fund
it
through
the
provincial
upload
one
of
the
major
projects
being
funded
in
part
by
these
dollars,
the
Carlington
community
health
center.
This
partnership
between
the
city
OCH,
the
province
in
the
Government
of
Canada
and
the
Carlington
Community
Health
Centre
will
break
ground
in
2016
and
once
built
will
bring
42
new,
affordable
housing
units
to
our
city,
I'm
very
pleased
very
proud
of
our
increased
funding
for
affordable
housing.
This
needs
ful
that
FS
old
I'm.
A
And
passed
investments
by
this
council
and
the
last
council
will
amount
to
more
than
one
hundred
million
dollars
in
new
dollars
in
this
area,
whether
it's
through
rent
subsidies,
new
units
or
renovations
of
older
housing
stock.
We
have
made
a
true
difference
in
the
lives
of
people.
These
investments,
alongside
a
predictable
2
percent
tax
rate,
will
ensure
Ottawa
continues
to
be
an
affordable
place
to
raise
a
family
and
will
strengthen
the
communities
outside
the
home
as
well
Novell.
False
argument.
No
community,
Alex
and.
A
Continuing
the
50
thousand
dollar
increase
we've
given
for
low-income
families
who
want
to
access
recreation
programs
and
make
this
fund
permanent,
will
also
support
a
community
volunteers
who
run
more
than
230
local
outdoor
ice
rinks.
By
increasing
the
grants
we
provide
them
by
10
percent
this
winter,
we'll
see
the
first
increase
to
this
program
for
these
very
dedicated
volunteers
in
ten
years,
these
are
modest
but
important
measures
in
improving
the
quality
of
life
in
all
of
our
respective
communities.
A
A
A
The
budget
we're
tabling
today
also
proposals
at
one
point:
five
percent
increase
in
the
amounts
we
give
to
community
health
resource
centers.
These
organizations
conduct
important
outreach
and
provide
crucial
services
at
the
local
level,
especially
for
our
vulnerable
population.
We've
seen,
we've
been
steadily
increasing
contributions
in
this
area
since
2010,
with
overall
funding
to
these
centers,
rising
to
more
than
ten
point
nine
million
dollars,
a
twenty
five
percent
increase
over
six
years
as
a
whole.
This
budget
proposes
making
targeted
smart
investments
to
lift
people
out
of
poverty
and
create
healthier,
safer
communities.
A
Budget
2016
will
also
allow
us
to
continue
the
progress
we're
making
to
provide
great
community
infrastructure.
That
means
our
frontline
service
priorities
such
as
parks,
recreation
and
culture.
When
you
look
at
the
proposed
budget
amounts
in
the
area
will
be
pleased
to
see
our
investments
continue
to
increase
in
2016.
A
The
draft
budget
proposes
investing
two
million
dollars
in
recreation
facility
upgrades
and
an
additional
one
point:
zero
three
million
dollars
in
community
partnership
grants.
Next
year.
Budget
2016
proposes
ten
new
splash
pads
in
community
parks
locations
around
the
city
during
the
next
three
years
and
will
also
invest
two
hundred
eighty
thousand
dollars
for
design
work
for
a
future
expansion
of
Blackburn
arena
and
the
city
will
provide
more
than
1.2
million
to
partner
with
other
funders
in
Canada
150
projects,
11
for
May,
Peter
Evan
and
the.
F
A
Expanding
the
Bayshore
Fieldhouse
and
the
magnetic
arena
and,
in
addition
at
the
Albion
haven't
community
center,
will
also
build
on
a
community
success.
We've
seen
at
the
francois
de
pree
pool
site
as
we
invest
5.5
million
dollars
to
out
a
full-service
community
center
to
that
fast-growing
part
of
the
East
End.
Our
parks
will
also
see
upgrades
or
expansions.
These
include
Inverness
Pine,
Crest,
sawmill,
creek
optimist
show
chair
and
stone
gate
parks.
A
The
draft
budget
also
proposes
contributing
more
than
three
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
to
complete
the
playground
at
the
new
Miracle
League
of
Ottawa
baseball
field
for
children
with
disabilities.
Some
of
these
investments
we
propose
our
smaller
scale
or
behind-the-scenes
sill.
Ten
days,
a
visitor's
log,
the
new
purple,
some.
A
Deck
gym
floor
or
hand
railings
or
maybe
even
a
new
elevator
or
a
ventilation
system.
These
investments
are
very
important
for
the
long-term
health
of
our
facilities
and
the
people
who
use
them
and
who
staff
them,
for
example,
will
invest
1.8
million
dollars
and
much-needed
rehabilitation
for
the
rafe
real
involved.
Macquarie
complexes
and
Orleans
other
facilities
will
see
similar
rehabilitation,
including
Walter
Baker,
Beaverbrook
done
Robin
Goulburn,
Manor,
Park,
Terry
Fox,
and
the
nepean
sportsplex
arenas
such
as
the
Howard
Darwin
centennial
arena
and
the
West
Carlton
community.
A
F
A
A
continued
commitment
to
preserving
our
roads,
sidewalks,
bridges,
cycling
paths,
culverts
and
water
mains
city
wide
will
be
investing
thirty-five
million
dollars
in
road
resurfacing
on
key
roads
like
iris,
Street
and
Jean
d'arc
Boulevard
north.
This
figure
also
includes
a
significant
investment
in
a
resurfacing
and
reconstruction
of
our
railroads,
including
carp,
Road,
Quigley,
Hill,
Road,
old
stagecoach,
road
and
Earl
Armstrong
room,
and
then
the
downtown
core
will
be
will
get
ready
for
the
2017
celebrations
by
repaving,
Wellington,
Street,
Kent,
Street
and
McKenzie
Avenue.
A
Beyond
this,
we
will
have
integrated
road
work
projects
which
tie
together
a
road
sewer
and
water
main
renewal
work
in
this
area.
The
draft
budget
proposes
investing
sixty
five
million
dollars
in
2016.
This
includes
Gilmore
Renfrew,
Part,
C,
Waverly,
Prince
of
Wales,
Crystal,
Beach
and
Montreal
Road
will
improve
structures
such
as
the
Gavin
Road
bridge,
large
culverts
on
Ramsey,
Hill,
Road
and
Diamond
View
Road,
and
the
ninth
line
Road
bridge.
These
are
the
kinds
of
core
investments
that
we
need
to
protect
and
promote.
A
Our
city
has
spent
an
historic
amount
on
roads,
transit
and
infrastructure
in
the
last
five
years,
and
now
we
have
a
partner
at
the
federal
level
that
says
it
will
triple
funding
on
infrastructure.
That
is
very
encouraging.
The
City
of
Ottawa
will
be
at
the
table
as
a
partner
to
help
reach
this
goal
and
spur
our
city's
economic
renewal.
A
This
is
a
significant
problem
and
one
that
we're
taking
steps
to
address
in
budget
2016
each
Ward
will
again
receive
$40,000
a
total
of
nine
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
across
the
city
to
institute
traffic
calming
measures
that
are
highly
responsive
to
each
Ward.
Specific
challenges
they'll
also
be
new
traffic
control
devices
at
intersections
like
Conroy
and
Queens
Dale
and
Blair
at
clever,
and
will
continue
to
implement
a
Complete
Streets
approach
to
selected
road
reconstruction
projects
in
order
to
better
serve
all
modes
of
transportation
that
our
residents
use.
A
A
We
will
see
our
single
biggest
arts
cap
investment
takes
shape,
the
revitalized
arts
court
and
the
expanded
Ottawa
art
gallery.
This
regional
art
sub
is
long
overdue
and,
as
you
know,
construction
has
already
begun.
We'll
continue
to
grow
our
commitment
to
cultural
funding
by
an
additional
1.5
percent.
This
year
since
2010
we've
increased
annual
cultural
grant
funding
to
cultural
groups
by
more
than
1
million
dollars,
and
this
does
not
include
capital
grads
to
organizations
such
as
G
CTC
and
the
new
move
insane,
which
is
ready
to
open
next
year
in
2016,
will
also
continue.
A
Our
investments
to
ensure
cycling
remains
a
safe
and
attractive
option
for
commuters
and
families.
For
example,
this
budget
proposes
to
allocate
$200,000
to
maintain
our
40
kilometer
winter
cycling,
Network
I'm
pleased
to
tell
you
that
we
will
also
move
forward
on
two
key
bike
lane
projects
this
year.
The
first
is
a
partnership
with
the
NCC
and
the
Embassy
of
the
United
States
of
America
for
bike
lanes
on
Mackenzie
Avenue
that
we
just
voted
on.
This
will
provide
better
cycle
connectivity
and
remove
the
unattractive
jersey
barriers
in
front
of
the
embassy.
A
I
want
to
personally
thank
United
States,
ambassador
Bruce
Heyman,
who
brought
this
offer
to
me
several
months
ago
in
2016,
we'll
also
break
ground
on
the
first
phase
of
the
O'conner
street
bike
lane,
which
will
be
a
great
north
self
option
for
cyclists.
This
will
be
a
perfect
complement
to
the
Laurier
bike
lanes,
which
will
likely
celebrate
their
two
millionth
rider
by
this
time
next
year.
A
A
A
Slow
down
in
our
economy,
with
increases
in
our
assessment
base,
projected
to
be
1.3
percent
or
18
point
4
million
dollars
a
new
additional
taxation
revenue
in
2016
by
comparison
in
2050,
an
assessment
growth
generated
twenty
four
point:
six
million
in
additional
tax
revenue,
more
than
a
six
million
dollar
decline.
We
need
to
be
aware
of
a
challenge
this
places
on
our
future
plans
to
fund
infrastructure
and
other
priorities.
A
This
will
be
a
challenge.
However.
The
answer
would
not
be
to
settle
the
business
sector
first
time,
homeowners
or
seniors
on
fixed
incomes,
with
an
even
higher
increase
in
taxes.
This
is
true
across
the
city,
but
even
more
so
for
wards
in
the
urban
downtown
core
which
are
being
hard-hit
by
property
reassessments,
ranging
as
high
as
8
percent
between
assessment
periods.
This
needs
some
homes
will
already
face
a
higher
tax
bill
in
the
years
ahead.
Even
before
we
adjust
our
own
tax
rate
because
of
market
value
assessment.
Our
job
is
clear.
A
A
We
should
have
every
confidence
that
we
and
our
staff
can
find
innovation,
innovative
solutions,
that's
why,
in
October
city
council
directed
staff
to
pursue
a
multi-year
efficiency
measures
to
address
structural
structural
financial
challenges
such
as
weather,
maintenance
costs,
betray
that
wave
settlements
and
increased
insurance
costs
and
I
was
grateful
for
the
useful
suggestions
for
savings
brought
forward
by
members
of
council
when
I
met
with
each
of
you
about
your
ideas
and
those
of
your
constituents.
Let
me
give
you
a
few
examples.
A
During
our
meeting,
some
councillors
brought
hard
copies
of
glossy
printed
materials
that
promoted
city
programs
delivered
a
large
quantities
in
different
venues,
such
as
libraries
and
rec
centers.
Sometimes
these
products
are
printed
out
of
habit
and
it's
reasonable
to
rethink
how
much
we
spend
on
advertising
and
printing
some
notice.
The
number
of
brand-new
city-owned
trucks
in
some
of
our
municipal
Lots,
it's
reasonable
to
press
the
pause
button,
a
new
car
and
truck
purchases.
A
While
we
review
how
we
deliver
a
more
efficient
and
cost-effective
weather
maintenance
program,
I
think
it's
a
similar
decision,
any
family
would
make
when
they
are
considering
options
for
their
household
budget.
Several
of
you
questioned
the
number
of
employees
in
a
certain
unit
or
branch
Museo
del
tofu
over
me
and
kiss
oak.
Several.
A
Our
city
management
has
taken
these
suggestions
and
will
include
them
as
part
of
an
ongoing
operational
review
we
approved
last
month.
The
budget
being
table
today
proposes
a
reduction
of
50
full-time
equivalent
employees
positions.
This
is
the
fifth
budget
in
a
row
that
would
see
a
municipal
workforce
reduced
in
a
responsible
fashion.
A
Some
examples
include
reviewing
planned
purchases
of
trucks
and
other
vehicles,
saving
$300,000
by
contracting
out
the
city's
Iron
Works,
reducing
the
use
of
consultants
for
for
a
city,
business,
reducing
paid
advertising
and
media
monitoring,
services,
printing
and
postage
converting
streetlight
to
more
efficient
LED
technology,
reducing
over
time
and
on-call
staff
time.
The
early
accruals

supramonte

mobile
sauna.
A
In
non
cost
nap
time
and
properties
to
sell
these
are
the
types
of
efficiencies
that
we
have
been
diligent
about
finding.
We
owe
it
to
the
residents
of
Ottawa
to
make
sure
their
tax
dollars
are
spent
wisely,
and
that
starts
by
looking
carefully
at
our
own
internal
of
spending.
Of
course,
2016
will
be
a
big
year
for
light
rail
transit
construction
of
the
old
train.
A
Confederation
line
will
continue,
which
requires
dollars
not
just
for
construction,
but
also
for
OC
trans,
for
the
chef
to
a
multimodal
transportation
company
will
also
get
ready
for
Stage
two
of
LRT.
This
council
could
be
very
proud
of
the
progress
we
have
done
so
far.
Suppose
a
municipality
at
the
field,
the.
A
Now
are
now
in
lockstep
on
this
project,
and
we
can
also
be
optimistic
when
we,
both
when
we
see
both
the
provincial
and
federal
government's
looking
to
invest
more
on
infrastructure,
to
stimulate
the
economy.
As
we
move
forward
with
preliminary
engineering
work
for
Stage
two
of
LRT
this
year,
we
will
work
hard
to
ensure
our
partners
maximize
the
contributions
to
this
transformative
city
building
project.
A
We
have
a
strong
case
not
only
for
Stage
two
but
funding
as
well,
for
the
trim,
road
and
airport
spur
lines,
expansion
and,
as
part
of
our
TMP
refresh,
we
will
look
at
the
feasibility
of
extending
LRT
to
cannabic
I,
look
forward
to
working
with
all
of
you
around
the
table
to
make
this
happen,
because
we
all
share
the
goal
of
creating
a
world-class
transit
system
for
our
nation's
capital.
So
second
Appel
tells
all
objective
to
create
it.
I.
A
Residents
are
starting
to
see
us
make
good
make
good
on
the
promise,
as
they
watch
the
LRT
being
built
right
before
their
very
eyes,
as
we
undertake
this
important
work,
we're
always
aware
of
on
our
transit
customers.
At
the
same
time,
we
must
remember
that
this
did
not
happen
overnight.
This
has
been
a
well
coordinated
effort
that
is
going
according
to
plan.
The
city
and
its
partners
have
invested
significant
sums
to
make
this
an
easier
transition
for
all
our
road
users,
especially
our
transit
customers.
A
This
includes
an
expanded
old
train,
Trillium
Line,
increasing
the
frequency
of
trips,
a
two
hundred
and
six
million
dollar
provincial
investment
in
highway
417
expansion,
with
extra
lanes
being
exclusively
used
by
our
buses
for
the
next
two
years
and
thirty,
three
million
dollars
for
new
buses
to
increase
capacity
during
construction.
This
draft
budget
proposes
11.5
million
dollars
in
bus
and
other
OC
Transpo
vehicle
renewal,
Cebu
jet
liminal
proposed
older
district.
A
More
in
station
and
transit
way
improvements
to
create
a
more
comfortable
transit
experience.
We
must
also
remember
that
the
city's
share
of
funding
for
transit
capital
does
not
come
from
the
fare
box.
That
funding
already
comes
from
the
missile
attacks
payers,
who
foot
100
percent
of
all
capital
costs.
This
is
in
addition
to
the
nearly
88
million
dollars
in
annual
gas
tax
revenue
from
the
federal
provincial
governments
that
vehicle
owners
pay
dedicated
exclusively
to
transit.
The
draft
budget
proposes
the
city
will
generate
an
increase
in
the
fare
box
revenue
of
2.5
percent
in
2016.
A
This
is
a
balanced
approach.
While
it
would
be
always
nice
to
see
fares
frozen,
this
would
severely
undermine
and
underfund
our
LRT
affordability
plan
that
we
all
support.
I
suppose
if
we
could
phrase
wage
settlements
or
fleet
maintenance
costs
than
we
could
freeze
fares,
but
that
is
simply
not
realistic.
One
only
has
to
look
back
to
councils
ago
to
seafaring
pieces
of
7.5%
three
years
in
a
row.
We
must
continue
our
balanced
approach
into
the
future
to
ensure
we
have
the
funds
to
pay
for
better
transit
to
the
benefit
of
all
our
residents.
A
We've
spent
some
time
in
the
last
few
months
talking
about
some
of
the
financial
challenges
face
today
and
that
are
on
the
horizon.
As
elected
officials,
our
residents
expect
us
to
look
at
these
challenges
reasonably
and
in
a
balanced
way.
They
expect
us
to
show
leadership
and
live
within
our
means:
their
residence
at
donned,
a
circular
new
vessel.
They.
A
That
does
not
mean
that
we
will
cut
back
on
or
abandon
our
priorities.
Colleagues,
if
anyone
was
worried
about
the
city
changing
direction
on
its
core
priorities,
there's
no
evidence
of
that
in
this
budget.
In
closing,
let
me
give
you
a
2016
summary:
we'll
continue,
building
light
rail
transit
and
transform
our
transportation
system
that
includes
construction
for
the
Confederation
line
and
moving
forward
confidently
with
stage
two
to
Orleans,
Bayshore,
Algonquin,
College
and
Riverside
self
will
see
the
revitalized
Arts
Court
take
shape.
A
Sniffs
ville
and
a
resident
came
up
to
me
and
said
quote:
I
like
the
fact
that
the
city
is
finally
getting
things
done.
End
quote,
it
was
a
brief
conversation,
but
one
that
I
believe
sums
up
our
can-do
attitude.
When
you
look
at
what's
ahead
for
2016
and
beyond,
we
are
creating
a
more
compassionate,
sustainable,
dynamic,
City
colleagues,
it
is
truly
a
an
exciting
time
to
be
in
Ottawa
and
working
together.
We
can
make
it
even
better
Nelson
beaucoup.
Thank
you
very
much.
Councillor
Manette.
A
Motion
carried,
thank
you
LC,
so
the
process
that
will
follow
is
outlined
by
the
deputy
clerks
memo
to
Council,
as
the
city
manager
will
begin.
The
detailed
presentation
followed
by
the
deputy
treasurer
and
we
ask
that
you
hold
questions
to
those
officials
until
the
other
presenters
from
police
and
so
on,
come
forward
and
just
to
remind
you,
these
questions
are
really
general
in
nature.
The
specific
questions
will
be
dealt
with
at
committee.
A
F
L
F
L
Want
to
talk
briefly
about
the
management
effort
that
has
gone
into
the
create
of
this
budget
and
will
continue
after
its
adoption
by
council
when
we
tabled
the
2015
draft
budget.
Last
February
I
stated
that
the
financial
challenges
facing
the
city
in
the
years
ahead
required
looking
beyond
the
traditional
one-year
budget
window
and
required
a
multi-year
approach.
A
multi-year
approach
allows
for
the
time
required
to
develop
and
implement
strategies
that
can
take
time,
sometimes
years
to
effect.
L
The
second
reason
for
taking
a
longer-term
approach
to
budget
planning
is
to
address
councils
adopted
term
priority
of
financial
sustainability.
A
measure
of
financial
sustainability
is
taking
a
longer-term
view
of
finances.
To
ensure
services
can
be
delivered,
the
infrastructure
can
be
maintained
and
council
priorities
can
be
funded,
while
keeping
tax
increases
at
a
predictable
and
affordable
level.
The
work
on
the
budget
strategy
for
the
year's,
2016-17
and
2018
started
this
past
spring
and
the
results
of
that
work
and
related
recommendations
were
presented
to
and
approved
by
council
in
the
budget
guideline
and
report
in
October.
L
This
will
be
accomplished
in
a
timeline
that
allows
for
the
achievement
of
the
budget
savings
identified
in
the
guideline
report
as
being
necessary
in
those
years
related
to
this,
I
would
like
to
highlight
that
management's
response
to
councillor
aoi's
direction
to
staff
will
be
submitted
for
fed
close
consideration
at
the
meeting
of
December.
1St
councillors
will
recall
that
this
direction
called
for
management
to
develop
proposals
to
establish
a
corporate
budget
or
challenge
function,
to
be
funded
within
existing
resources.
L
That
will
do
the
following:
provide
an
effective
and
formal
early
warning
system
to
identify
any
significant
variances
developing
between
departmental
spending,
and/or
revenue
budgets
and
their
monthly
actuals.
To
allow
for
early
course
corrections
if
necessary,
oversee
regular
reviews
of
administrative
spending
and
identify
cross,
departmental
synergies
and
our
options
for
administrative
efficiencies,
review
the
departmental
plans
to
achieve
their
corporate
expenditure
reduction
and
efficiency
targets
and
provide
a
challenge
function
for
those
submissions,
as
well
as
annual
budget
submissions
and
finally
develop
a
reporting
mechanism
for
the
council
for
council.
L
That
indicates
where
and
when
a
course,
correction
or
efficiency
opportunity
was
suggested
and
the
actions
taken
and
required
to
achieve
it.
I
raised
this
because
I
think
it's
relevant
to
the
comment
that
I'm
about
to
make,
which
is
that
I
have
a
high
degree
of
confidence
and
I
believe
that
council
can
have
as
well
that
the
budget
strategy
that
you've
approved
for
the
remainder
of
this
term
will
be
achieved.
Management
will
apply
the
continuous
focus
necessary
to
accomplish
the
strategy
and
the
savings
it
contemplates.
L
G
G
The
budget
directions
were
approved
in
October
and
whether
the
key
items
was
to
limit
the
municipal
portion
of
the
residential
property
tax
bill
to
2
percent,
while
it's
2
percent
on
a
residential
bill.
That
means
overall,
tax
revenues
are
only
increasing
by
1.75
percent
for
city
and
police,
and
that
is
because
of
provincial
provincial.
A
G
G
Increasing
by
1.75
percent
for
city
and
police-
and
that
is
because
of
provincial
policy
that
limits
how
much
of
the
tax
increase
we
can
pass
on
to
commercial
class.
The
annual
additional
taxation
revenues
for
growth
is
forecasted
at
one
point:
three
percent:
this
is
reduction
from
last
year
and
reflects
the
decline
in
residential
and
commercial
development.
I
was
directed
by
council
and
as
identified
in
the
transit
affordability
plan.
This
budget
also
includes
a
2.5
percent
increase
to
the
transit
levy,
which
translates
to
two
point:
eight
five
percent
on
residential
tax
bill,
because
they.
F
Equally,
share
onto
the
councils
and
commissions
were
all
asked
to
prepare
the
budget
based
on
the
same
objectives,
and
they
did
it.
We've
included
the
strategic
initiatives
for
operating
and
capital
that
were
determined
through
the
establishment
of
the
priorities
of
council
for
2016.
Last
year,
we
were
asked
to
continue
to
contribute
to
the
capital
program
in
order
to
reach
an
investor
level
that
will
allow
us
to
keep
our
gains
in
good
in
in
a
good
place.
The
user
fees
will
increase.
G
The
citywide
and
police
tax
increases
to
2%
for
a
person
owning
a
home
in
an
urban
area,
of
which
the
average
valuation
is
three
hundred.
Seventy
five
thousand
three
hundred
dollars
increase
corresponds
to
a
fifty
five
dollars
per
year
for
municipal
services,
the
dollar
value
is
a
preliminary
number.
The
actual
amount
will
be
based
on
the
actual
valuation
of
the
properties
and
changes
to
the
fiscal
policy
adopted
by
the
council
before
finalizing
them.
Tax
rates,
this
2%
increase
to
residential
and
point
eight.
G
F
Tax
will
still
also
approve
a
tax
increase
for
transit
of
2.5
percent,
which
is
two
point.
Eighty
five
percent
increase
for
average
residential
client
into
twenty
five
for
the
commercial
ones.
The
garbage
collection
fees
will
remain
the
same
this
year.
Consequently,
the
total
rise
or
increase
for
the
consumer
will
be
seventy
two
dollars
a
year
in
the
urban
center
for
the.
G
G
The
preliminary
budgets
as
tabled
takes
into
account
the
various
FTE
positions
required
to
provide
municipal
services
in
2016
for
all
services.
We
need
a
total
of
fifteen
thousand
sixty
one
as
fifteen
thousand
ninety
two
FTEs.
This
is
a
net
reduction
of
thirty-one
FTEs
20
15
levels,
so
that
gave
you
the
2015
number.
G
So
it's
15,000,
61,
FTEs
police
are
recommending
an
increase
of
25
FTEs
in
public
health
and
increase
of
two
two
as
part
of
the
multi
year
exercise
to
identify
service
efficiencies,
the
police
are
recommending
a
reduction
of
six
public
health
and
city
departments
are
recommending
a
reduction
of
fifty
point.
32
FTEs.
These
FTE
reductions
will
not
impact
frontline
service
delivery
levels,
but
will
be
the
result
of
implementing
more
efficient
processes
in
delivery
of
those
services
and
within
administrative
operations.
F
Now,
good
Poseidon
puget,
the
city,
has
a
gross
budget
of
three
point:
one
sixty
five
billion
dollars
by
looking
at
the
circular
picture.
Here
you
see
that
many
sectors
represent
the
various
services
provided
by
the
city.
The
five
main
services
represent
57
percent
of
the
total
budget.
This
is
the
transit
service,
90
million
police,
305
million
water
and
sewer
3
and
31
million
of
protection
and
emergency
services
273
and
Social
Services
413
million
the
3.1
billion
dollars
are
funding
several
services.
These
investments
are
not
all
funded
by
taxes
but
by
other
sources.
Also.
G
Shows
all
the
sources
of
funding
for
the
3.1
65
billion.
You
will
note
that
there
are
not
as
many
slices
in
this
graph.
We
all
really
only
have
two
sources
of
funds.
We
have
taxpayers
and
we
have
those
who
use
the
services
and
most
residents
are
both
the
572
million
dollars
shown
for
the
federal
and
provincial
funding
represents
all
grants
that
are
dedicated
toward
particular
services,
such
as
social
services,
childcare
services,
long
term
care
and
others.
G
The
funding
capacity
that
has
been
created
as
a
result
of
tax
increases,
user
fee
increases
and
revenue
that
we
receiving
from
other
levels
of
government
total
sixty
point
six
million
dollars
of
that
user
fees
and
charges,
and
this
would
not
include
transit
services,
is
five
million.
Three
million
is
from
regular
inflationary
increases,
which
is
in
line
with
councils
fiscal
framework,
and
the
remainder
is
from
increased
advertising
and
new
revenue
agreements.
This
draft
budget
recommends
a
two
point:
five
percent
increase
in
total
transit
fares,
which
is
projected
to
generate
2.2
million
in
additional
revenues.
G
The
revenue
cost
ratio
for
transit
is
budgeted
at
51.6%.
The
matching
funding
from
provincial
cost-sharing
is
increasing
by
eight
point:
five
million
dollars.
Four
point.
Seven
million
of
that
is
from
the
provincial
upload
to
cover
the
cost
of
Ontario
Works
and
there's
also
additional
funding
for
childcare,
Public,
Health,
paramedics
and
long
term
care
to
cover
the
increase,
increasing
costs
of
these
programs
for
tax
and
assessment
growth.
G
We
are
projecting
a
1.3
percent
increase
in
the
value
of
the
assessment
role,
which
generates
eighteen
point,
four
million
in
taxes
and
then
the
1.75
percent
overall
tax
revenue,
increased
plus
the
2.5
percent
increase
in
the
transit
levy,
generates
another
twenty
six
point:
five
million
dollars
in
developing
the
draft
budget.
One
of
our
first
tasks
is
to
review
the
current
year
performance
against
budget
to
identify
any
adjustments
that
need
to
be
made
to
the
base
budget.
G
Services
that
must
operate
on
a
24/7
basis
cannot
achieve
the
same
level
of
vacancy
targets
as
other
services,
which
adds
the
pressure
of
1.5
million
dollars.
Insurance
costs
have
steadily
increased
each
year,
adding
an
additional
pressure
of
2
million
and
increased
bus
maintenance.
Costs
of
8.6
million
are
also
included
in
the
ongoing
pressures.
G
F
Qusomes
news
evaluate
on
the
both
sides:
we
allocated
nine
point:
six
million
dollars
for
the
growth
in
2016.
This
is
fine,
mostly
in
the
increase
of
costs
in
solid
waste
and
household
growth
and
the
maintenance
of
new
facilities
in
new
parks
in
the
city
and
that
comes
under
the
park
and
maintenance
department.
G
Four
million
identified
four
council
priorities.
Firstly,
there
is
4.7
million
that
we
set
aside
in
the
operating
budget
for
the
council
priorities
that
represents
the
upload
this
year
included.
In
here
honest
initiatives
such
as
Ottawa
2017
sparks
reading
by
word
market
renewal,
along
with
service
excellence
initiatives.
There
is
also
a
5.4
million
increase
to
your
contribution
to
capital,
which
is
the
amount
identified
in
the
ELL
RFP
as
an
increase
each
year
to
address
the
infrastructure
gap
and
to
reach
an
investment
level
that
maintains
our
assets
in
a
state
of
good
repair
in
2014.
G
You
approve
the
new
DC
rates
and,
as
part
of
that,
council
approved
that
when
we
provide
exemptions
for
landowners
for
DC,
the
city
would
make
up
that
contribution
so
that
the
DC
reserves
would
have
sufficient
revenues
in
them
to
fund
all
the
growth
works
needed.
We
started
with
1.4
million
in
2015
and
are
adding
an
additional
1.4
million
in
2016.
G
This
table
provides
an
overview
of
the
total
increase
in
the
budget
envelope
from
base
adjustments,
maintaining
services,
growth
and
council
priorities.
Ninety
seven
point:
six
million
in
additional
costs
are
included
in
this
budget.
This
represents
a
3.1
percent
increase
on
the
three
point:
one
six:
five
billion
budget,
as
mentioned
earlier
in
the
presentation,
there's
an
additional
funding
of
sixty
point:
six
million
available
from
taxes,
fees
and
provincial
funding,
leaving
a
shortfall
of
37
million
dollars.
G
G
As
mentioned
earlier,
the
contemplated
operational
efficiencies
are
not
expected
to
have
an
impact
on
front-line
service
delivery.
The
pre
budget,
public
consultation
sessions
and
meetings
with
each
councilor
have
provided
input
in
this
category.
Staff
have
also
identified
some
department,
specific
initiatives
and
corporate
targets
to
improve
efficiency
and
reduced
costs.
This
slide
highlights
examples
of
initiative
initiatives
identified
so
far.
As
mentioned
in
the
budget
Direction
report,
my
analysis
will
be
done
throughout
2016
to
identify
other
efficiency
initiatives,
some
of
which
will
begin
to
save
up
to
ease
in
cost
in
2016.
F
Sequel
policy
Scylla,
the
shortfall
is
also
compensated
on
the
income
coming
in
with
the
amount
given
for
income
for
the
taxes
in
hydro
Ottawa.
The
staff
also
found
opportunities
to
impose
new
fees,
for
instance
in
providing
services
existing
services
to
other
municipalities
or
imposing
additional
fees
for
special
services
in
the.
G
G
The
rate
increase
is
six
percent.
So
if
you
take
last
year's
budgeted
revenue
and
increased
it
by
six
percent,
you
would
generate
an
additional
16
point:
four
million
dollars.
However,
we
have
reduced
the
consumption
estimate
that
is,
in
a
rate
budget
to
be
closer
to
what
we
actually
experienced
in
consumption
volumes
over
the
past
several
years,
which
means
that
we
are
only
generating
an
additional
4.5
million
dollars
to
cover
the
3.1
million
cost
of
maintaining
services
and
1.5
million
cost
of
growth,
or
just
enough
to
cover
the
increase
in
the
debt
servicing.
G
For
this
reason,
this
year
we
have
had
to
reduce
the
capital
contribution
by
2.9
million
dollars.
This
means
that
more
capital
funding
is
coming
from
and
less
from
cash.
That
is
not
in
line
with
where
you
need
to
be,
as
per
the
Ala
l
RFP.
This
is
an
asset
intensive
service
and
it
is
for
this
reason
that
we
are
reviewing
the
rate
structure
to
provide
more
stability
to
the
revenues.
G
Considering
that
such
a
significant
percentage
of
the
costs
are
fixed
costs,
but
the
water
rate
is
100
percent
volumetric,
the
results
of
the
rate
review
will
be
provided
presented
to
comedian
counsel
in
the
first
quarter
of
2016
in
the
last
term
of
council.
Several
major
studies
were
completed
and
approved
by
council.
They
include
transportation,
master
plan,
the
2014
development
charges,
background
study,
the
L
RFP
for
that
assess
the
state
of
repairs
of
all
the
capital
assets
and
recommended
a
plan
for
closing
the
infrastructure
funding
gap.
G
These
plans
have
all
been
incorporated
in
the
proposed
capital
budget
for
2016
and
the
forecast
for
the
subsequent
three
years.
We
have
also.
We
also
have
the
funding
envelope
for
council
priorities.
The
four
point:
seven
million
that
was
set
aside
for
operating
is
not
all
that
you
have
to
spend
on
priorities.
In
the
previous
term
of
council,
there
was
a
20
million
envelope.
Set-Aside
for
strategic
initiatives
on
the
capital
side
debt
is
being
used
in
this
budget,
as
described
in
the
fiscal
framework.
Within
the
limits
established
by
council.
G
We
are
at
5.7
percent
on
own
source
revenues
on
the
tax
side
and
11.3%
on
the
right
side.
Furthermore,
the
roads
growth
program
has
been
reviewed
and
adjusted
to
reflect
the
current
and
projected
economic
situation,
which
has
seen
a
slowdown
in
housing
growth
resulting
in
lower
development
charge,
revenues.
G
The
tax
upon
capital
budget
for
2016
includes
public
transit,
police
services
and
library.
The
budget
totals
302
million
dollars.
The
capital
bought
budget
for
water
and
sewer
program
stands
at
231
point
for
the
capital
budget
is
mainly
required
for
renewal
of
infrastructure
and
for
water
and
sewer
that
represents
about
74
percent
of
the
rate
capital
budget.
G
The
proposed
533
point:
five
million
dollars
in
capital
budget
is
funded
from
a
variety
of
sources,
but
basically
it
is
cash
in
depth.
You
have
the
resource
portion,
which
is
cash,
is
funded
from
contributions
to
capital
for
on
both
attacks
and
the
right
side.
This
makes
up
48%
of
the
funding
for
capital,
there's
also
some
DC
cash
and
debt
to
find
growth
projects.
Forty
three
point:
six
million
is
coming
from
other
levels
of
government
for
some
of
the
public
transit
infrastructure
projects
proposed
in
this
budget.
G
We
have
included
an
assumption
of
two-thirds
government
funding
in
2016
when
availability
is
clarified.
The
possibility
of
considering
other
projects
for
the
stimulus
funding
will
be
explored
in
total,
there's
172
million
dollars
in
new
debt,
Authority
that
it
is
required
to
find
the
proposed
2016
capital
program.
One
hundred
sixty
three
point:
six
million
is
for
the
rate
and
tax
supported
capital
and
eight
point.
Two
million
is
DC
debt
that
one
hundred
and
seventy
two
million
in
debt
is
still
in
line
with
what
was
approved
in
previous
years.
G
Lastly,
on
a
budget
timetable,
we
have
the
we
have
the
budgets
meetings
scheduled
on
the
23rd
running
until
December
7th.
Is
that
these
meetings
that
individuals
can
ask
about
particular
items
in
the
budget?
All
the
information
is
available
on
the
website
and
the
public
is
invited
to
come
out
to
a
committee
meeting
to
discuss
what
is
of
concern
to
them
to
provide
comments
on
the
draft
budget.
Residents
can
email
budget
2016
at
Ottawa,
dot,
CA
or
contact
their
local
war.
G
Counselor
Council
will
meet
on
December
9th
to
consider
the
job
budget
and
any
recommendations
stemming
from
the
budget
meetings,
and
then
it
is
at
that
point
the
budget
will
be
adopted.
In
conclusion,
mr.
mayor
I
want
to
offer
my
thanks
to
senior
management
and
staff
that
have
supported
this
budget
process
and,
in
particular,
the
finance
staff.
I
want
to
send
my
heartfelt
appreciation
to
the
finance
teams
led
by
Brian
Flynn
and
the
planning
team
led
by
Tom
Fedak
for
all
the
great
work
that
they
do.
G
A
H
Yeah
Thank
You,
Samara
and
I
promise
my
speech
room.
Girls
likes
yours,
just
the
lineup.
This
is
a
budget
day
folks
I'm
joined
today,
sameer
by
chief
Chuck,
were
drawn
that
director
general
to
my
far
right
that
Deborah
Fraser
early
this
morning.
We
are
table
our
budget
on
the
piece
board
we
receive
it
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
my
colleague,
the
community
member
and
also
my
Jan
harder
and
temp
trainee
for
their
support
and
leadership
on
on
the
budget.
Now
I'm
pleased
to
announce
mr.
H
mayor,
let
align
with
the
council's
deduction
for
1.75
to
these
tax
rate
increase
the
budget
table.
In
comes
a
time
when
our
external
survey
tell
us
that
the
vast
majority
of
Ottawa
residents
have
a
high
level
of
satisfaction
with
the
services
provided
by
the
Ottawa
Police
Service.
This
is
a
great
fine
to
see
the
community
recognize
and
appreciate
the
professionalism
of
our
member
and
the
hard
work
they
do
each
day.
You
will
see
that
in
this
budget
we
will
be
making
investment
to
support
our
members
by
addressing
both
the
workload
and
the
well-being.
H
We
are
also
invested
in
information
and
technology
infrastructure
that
our
members
need
to
serve
the
community
as
police
and
become
more
complex,
generating
efficiency
of
two
million
dollar
as
one
of
the
ways
that
the
budget
target
has
been
achieved.
Certain
priority
has
also
been
key
to
this
budget
process.
H
It
has
meant
that
some
plans,
such
as
project
in
the
facility
strategic
plan,
have
been
necessarily
delay
without
affecting
the
community
safety
I
like
to
thank
to
Boudreau
for
his
leadership
and
his
team
for
the
work
they've
done
in
this
proposal
and
and
the
past
it
maps
out
for
the
future
now
I'll
turn
it
to
the
chief.
What
a
short
presentation!
Mr.
mayor.
J
Budget,
my
team
that
put
together
this
budget
led
by
director
general
Deborah
Fraser
acting
director
of
finance,
Wally
Salem,
Valley
McCallum.
She
lamilton
Jonathan,
sweet
on
bail,
Christopher
and
Heather
Fisher,
and
also
my
executive
with
Deborah
Fraser,
Joel,
Skinner
and
Kili,
and
our
senior
leadership
team.
So
we're
pleased
to
present
this
year's
draft
operating
and
capital
budgets.
J
If
that
follows
the
direction
that
was
given
by
board
and
council
of
a
1.7
percent
tax
rate
increase
and
as
chair
l
century
indicated,
there's
a
theme
around
supporting
our
members
and
dealing
with
the
workload
and
dealing
with
their
wellness.
Some
of
the
highlights
include
the
additional
the
addition
of
25
new
sworn
officer
positions
and
an
investment
in
our
auto
police's.
J
A
wellness
program
to
support
our
members,
including
a
real
you
program,
will
be
one
of
the
first
police
services
in
Canada
to
work
with
a
Canadian,
Mental,
Health
Commission,
to
align
and
to
and
to
follow
the
standards
associated
with
employee
wellness,
and
this
follows
on
a
very
difficult
year.
2014,
following
the
suicide
of
one
of
our
members,
it
was
a
frankly
a
quite
a
wake-up
call
to
ensure
that
we
are
there
to
support
our
wellness
and
our
members.
J
Also
see
now
in
this
budget
includes
investments
in
our
my
tea
roadmap
to
ensure
that
we
have
the
right
infrastructure
in
place
to
support
the
officers
and
give
them
the
tools
that
they
need
to
be
proactive.
In
entitling
crime
patters,
we
are
anticipating
a
provincial
grant
loss
of
approximately
$600,000,
which
works
out
to
five
FTEs,
and
we've
built
this
into
the
the
budget,
and
should
this
occur,
we
will
work
with
the
police
or
water
on
a
on
a
plan
to
address
this
shortfall.
J
Prioritization
was
an
important
factor
and
we
did
make
a
decision
to
delay
a
facility
strategic
plan
by
one
year
in
order
to
make
sure
that
we
are
investing
our
people
and
throughout
this
budget
we
were
very
focused
on
ensuring
that
we
were
fiscally
responsible
and
we
made
the
investment
given
the
environment
that
we
are
working
in.
Our
budget
takes
into
account
the
policing
context
that
we're
working
in
it's
meant
to
help
address
the
pressures
and
challenges
challenges
that
we
are
facing.
There
are
a
number
of
factors
impacting
the
increasing
cost
and
complexity
of
policing.
J
Not
only
is
the
Article
II
service
facing
these
pressures
services
across
Ontario
and,
in
fact,
Canada
are
facing
a
complexity
that
is
ever-changing
and
it
is
a
challenging
environment
to
to
manage
it's
not
about
just
crime
rates
going
down
and
calls
a
service
going
down
its
seen
trends
increasing
in
other
areas.
Our
demographics
are
changing.
We
have
a
an
aging
population
which
brings
about
a
complexity
investigating
crimes
we
get
regarding
elder
abuse,
there's
also
different
crime
and
disorder
issues
that
are
emerging,
such
as
cybercrime,
multi-jurisdictional
investigations
and
human
trafficking.
J
The
role
of
police
officers
continues
to
evolve
and
we
need
to
shed
some
of
those
responsibilities
that
have
we
taken
on
over
time
that
are
not
core
placing
duties.
We're
offered
often
referred
to
as
the
Roth
service
a
resort
and
we've
become
the
first
servers
of
resort
based
on
our
24/7
capacity,
and
that's
why
we've
launched
our
service
initiative.
J
Now,
I
want
to
highlight
that
despite
the
complex
police
environment,
our
remote
members
continue
to
deliver
quality,
policing,
services
and
I'm
very
proud
of
the
work
that
they
do
each
and
every
day,
and
we
continue
to
be
responsive
to
the
concerns
of
residents
and
we've
always
adapted
our
changing
environment
and
changed
the
community,
and
we
will
continue
to
do
so
as
I
became.
Chief.
J
We
examine
where
we
could
find
more
efficiencies
to
become
more
effective
to
address
some
of
the
financial
pressures
that
we're
facing.
We
are
facing
between
2013
and
2016,
we've
achieved
over
seven
point:
seven
million
dollars
of
efficiencies
all
the
while
having
no
growth
in
our
members.
We've
also
introduced
some
transformational
projects,
including
our
critical
reporting
centers
online
reporting
from
four
members
of
the
public.
J
We've
transferred
our
payroll
function
to
the
City
of
Ottawa
and
for
that
I'm
very
thankful
for
the
cooperation
we've
received
from
city
staff
and
we're
moving
to
an
online
format
for
our
background
checks.
We've
reviewed
a
number
of
areas
within
our
service
for
efficiencies
and
found
opportunities
within
our
features
is
resulting
in
0.8
million
dollars
of
savings
to
date.
And,
finally,
as
I
said,
we've
launched
our
service
initiative,
a
program
that's
assigned
with
the
delivering
ongoing
and
future
costs
savings
for
our
Police
Service
adjustments
aren't
always
about
scaling
back.
J
Sometimes
you
have
to
invest
and
we
apply
our
eyes.
Our
investments
needed
to
be
in
this
budget
and
part
of
that
prioritization
was
based
on
our
unique
context
in
the
city
of
Ottawa
and
I'd
like
to
go
over
that
quickly.
We
are
the
nation's
capital
and
we
need
to
ensure
operational
readiness
to
deal
with
a
wide
array
of
public
safety
issues
from
protests
to
demonstrations
to
much
larger
threats.
We
saw
that
reality
come
forth
October
22nd
last
year.
J
In
addition,
October
Ottawa
2017
will
oppose
another
set
of
challenges,
as
tourists
visit
the
nation's
capital
for
a
wide
variety
of
celebrations
and
affect
an
effect
of
2018
candidates.
Canada
Day
celebrations
will
be
moving
off
permit
Hill,
which
will
have
a
significant
impact
on
police
service
to
deal
with
a
new
location
yet
to
be
determined
and
will
work
with
current
canadian
heritage
to
deal
with
those
issues.
There
have
been
a
number
of
demographic
and
societal
changes
in
our
community.
That
is
having
a
continuing
impact
on
policing.
J
A
population
by
2021
will
increase
to
over
1.1
million
people.
You
know,
law
is
also
an
aging
population,
with
the
people
over
65,
expected
to
more
than
double
between
2014
and
2030.
1
and
individuals
want
to
age
in
their
homes,
and
they
need
to
be
supported
from
a
diversity
perspective.
Warrant
for
residents
in
Ottawa
is
an
immigrant.
We
are
the
fourth
largest
visible
minority
population
among
these
cities.
That
brings
about
tremendous
opportunities
as
well
as
challenges.
J
We've
all
heard
about
the
issue
about
mental
health
in
our
community.
We
continue
to
see
an
increased
number
of
calls
for
service
dealing
with
mental
health
people
with
mental
health
issues.
It's
estimated
that
40%
of
those
incidents
are
not
criminal
nature
and
those
are
not
issues
that
are
easily
resolved.
J
The
timing
of
a
budget
is
good
one,
because
we
are
in
the
process
of
developing
a
2016
to
2018
business
plan.
We
have
three
three
pillars
in
our
business
plan:
our
members,
the
community
reserve
and
the
service
we
are
providing,
and
the
budget
also
takes
into
account
the
ongoing
prior
around
guns
and
gangs,
violence
against
women
and
traffic
safety.
These
resonate
with
our
community
and
were
highlighted
not
Public
Safety
in
our
public
survey.
J
B
You
chief,
my
job
is
to
try
and
translate
what
the
backdrop
that
you've
heard
into
the
7.2
million
dollar
operating
envelope,
that
the
board
is
tabling
with
Council,
which
meets
the
1.75
percent
tax
increase,
and
we
know
that
the
1.75
percent
number
sometimes
gets
spoken
about
in
the
public
domain
as
a
2
percent
increase
on
the
residential
tax
rate.
So
both
numbers
are
accurate
when
you
hear
them,
a
budget
story
is
a
very
simple
one.
This
year,
the
the
total
7.2
million
dollars,
that
is,
the
increase
in
the
police
tax
rate,
most
of
it.
B
We
know
the
evidence
points
to
the
to
dealing
with
workload
as
well
as
dealing
with
mental
and
how
physical
health
issues
within
the
police
service
and
that's
what
our
plan
will
do.
The
20
fee
efficiencies
of
two
million
dollars
that
we've
identified
will
help
offset
the
20
of
the
impact
of
the
25
officer
costs
we're
trying
to
find
fun
within
the
budget
to
offset
that
impact,
it
will
also
help
to
offset
the
cost
of
bringing
on
the
imit
roadmap.
B
That's
the
investment
in
technology
that
we'll
be
making
over
the
next
five
to
six
years
to
provide
the
new
technology
environment
both
on
the
information
side
and
on
the
technical
tool
side
that
our
officers
need
in
order
to
work
in
this
increasingly
complex
environment.
The
protocol
launched
in
2016
after
we
table
it
with
our
Police
Services
Board
in
December.
As
the
the
the
board
chair,
remarked,
we've
had
to
make
some
chat.
We
had
to
make
some
choices
this
year.
This
budget
is
a
matter
of
making
priorities.
B
So
you'll
see
that
some
of
what
we've
done
is
we've
drawn
a
million
dollars
out
of
our
capital
reserve
fund
to
finance
some
projects
in
2016.
They
will
be
projects
that
help
to
transform
the
Police
Service,
the
chief
listed
some
earlier
in
the
presentation
and
they
also
deliver
benefits.
Those
are
things
that
will
help
to
reduce
the
the
bottom
line
of
the
police
services
budget
or
introduce
new
partnerships
through
which
we
can
work
and
achieve
some
of
these
complex
problems
or
actually
help
to
improve
service
levels
to
the
public.
B
The
final
thing
that
we've
done
is
that
just
the
user
fees
and
charges
through
a
policy
that
the
board
has
we
keep
them
running
at
the
rate
of
increases
inflation
or
the
tax
rate
that
will
add
about
two
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
our
bottom
line,
bringing
the
total
operational
budget
to
7.2
million.
We
have
postponed
some
aspects
of
our
facilities
strategic
plan
by
one
year
and
we'll
be
looking
at
any
kind
of
innovative
way.
We
can.
B
We
can
to
try
and
keep
that
as
much
on
target
as
we
can
as
a
result
of
a
recommendation
by
the
Auditor
General,
the
police
service
tables
of
three-year
forecasts.
This
is
the
the
way
we
look
now,
as
we
look
forward
for
three
years.
You'll
see
a
couple
of
constant
themes.
The
imit
roadmap
is
there
for
three
years,
as
we
continue
to
make
investments
to
support
the
our
members
and
the
tools
they
need.
B
We
revisit
this
plan
each
year
as
we
formulate
the
budgets
to
try
and
keep
it
up
to
date,
but
it's
meant
to
help
identify
for
Council
for
board
members
and
our
stakeholders
that
forward-looking
plans
that
the
police
service
has
the
capital
budget
is
a
fairly
straightforward
one
as
well
for
2016.
It's
sixteen
point,
four
million
dollars.
Half
of
that
amount
is
going
to
ensure
that
the
our
existing
asset
platform
is
maintained
in
terms
of
fleet,
IT
infrastructure
and
facilities.
The
other
half
roughly
nine
point,
1
million
dollars
is
dedicated
to
strategic
initiatives.
B
That's
the
launch
of
the
imit
roadmap.
Again,
the
board
has
been
forward
looking
at
how
its
funded
these
projects
to
undeveloped
pay-as-you-go
reserve
funds.
So
almost
all
of
that
program
will
be
funded
from
page.
You
go
reserve
funds,
a
small
apart
from
revenue
that
comes
from
the
sale
of
fleet
assets.
B
A
I
You
mr.
Morelle
trying
to
keep
my
question
to
that
in
a
general
way
falling
on
the
mayor's
comments
regarding
speeding
and
traffic
and
and
yours
chiefs,
that
it's
a
strategic
priority
for
you
again.
I.
Don't
need
to
know
the
specifics
of
how
many
or
how
much!
But
can
we
expect
that
if
the
budget
is
approved
and
get
25
new
officers
that
some
of
those
resources
will
be
directed
towards
dealing
with
speeding
and
traffic
in
the
communities.
J
J
Are
we
going
to
deal
with
high-risk
areas,
guns
and
gangs,
violence
against
women,
specifically
around
our
partner
assault
unit
and
a
sexual
abuse
unit,
and
also
are
dealing
with
a
high
number
of
accommodations?
That
policing
is
seeing
with
respect
to
accommodating
people
with
medical
injuries,
where
they
can't
do
the
work
on
the
front
lines
resulting
in
shortages?
So
the
first
year
of
the
plan
that
25
officers
will
be
targeting
towards
those
three
areas.
But
you
have
my
assurance
that
traffic
enforcement
traffic
safety
will
continue
to
be
a
top
priority.
A
top.
J
D
We're
looking
at
25
new
officers
per
year
at
about
for
the
next
three
years
at
2.1
million
dollars
a
year
and
efficiencies
of
two
million
dollars
a
year
in
all
those
years.
Can
you
let
us
know,
given
that
member
salaries
are
the
highest
cost
element
of
the
police
force?
What
will
those
efficiencies
look
like?
What
will
they
be.
J
We're
looking
at
some
property
leases
we're
looking
at
some
changes
to
our
eye
bandwidth,
so
they're,
coming
from
across
the
Police
Service,
we
always
tried
forecast
three
years
out
from
a
staffing
perspective
and
that's
all
we've
identified
a
total
of
75
officers
over
the
next
three
years,
but
you
know
like
we
did
in
for
2016.
Those
resources
will
come
at
the
expense
of
efficiencies
that
we're
finding
and
we'll
be
able
to
fund
those
within
within
our
budget
envelope.
D
J
What
we're
also
doing
is
within
the
police
service
is
identifying
20
other
positions
within
the
Police
Service
sworn
officer
positions
that
we'll
be
able
to
reallocate
to
other
areas
of
the
Police
Service
that
are
that
we're
finding
some
pressures
on.
We
look
human
trafficking
units,
part
of
our
street
crime
units.
J
D
And
attention
in
the
world,
and
perhaps
in
other
Ward's
this
year
and
I
just
want
to
underline
councillor
egg
lies
point
and
I'm
sure
other
that
we
need
greater
attention
from
the
o-p-s
with
respect
to
traffic
in
sport
enforcement
and
issues
we've.
We
know
that
one
of
the
units
that
touches
River
Ward
was
redeployed
earlier
this
year,
it's
redeployed
again
this
autumn
and
the
resources
that
we
need
for
this
as.
A
D
L
A
D
Thank
You
mr.
Marion,
and
thank
you
to
the
chief
and
to
councilor
elephant
area
for
the
presentation.
Just
a
couple
of
questions
of
clarification
in
the
response
to
the
question
posed
by
councillor.
Luce
I
was
just
left
a
little
bit
confused
about
the
total
number
of
new
hires
over
the
next
three
years.
Is
it
25
new
officers
in
total,
or
is
it
25
officers
each
year
for
the
next
three
years.
J
D
Thank
you
and
then
again,
because
the
charts
were
only
flashed
briefly.
I'm
not
sure
I
have
this
right
for
2016
year,
anticipating
that
the
25
new
officers
would
create
a
budget
pressure
of
1.3
million
is
what
I
thought
I
saw
on
the
screen
or
an
average
of
52
thousand
dollars
an
officer,
and
then
in
2017
and
2018
I
thought
I
saw
the
numbers
2.1
and
2.1
for
new
officers,
but
I
guess
what
I'm
not
understanding
is
if
by
2017
there
are
50
new
officers
and
then
by
2018
there
are
75
new
officers.
D
The
numbers
2.1
seem
awfully
small
to
reflect
75
new
off
their
annual
salaries
and
pension
and
other
costs
of
75
new
officers.
So
what
I'm
trying
to
understand
it?
If
this
is
too
specific
mr.
Mehra
I'm
happy
to
take
this
offline,
but
just
what
you
anticipate
by
2018
the
budget,
pressure
of
75
new
officers
being.
B
Mr.
Merrit,
the
budget
pressures
is
captured
in
two
lines
that
their
first
year,
pressure
is
for.
The
new
officers
is
captured
on
the
new
the
25
officers
line,
as
those
members
are
annualized
and
the
cost
of,
and
they
move
up
an
increment
in
their
salary
scale
that
moves
up
into
the
maintain
services
category.
So
it's
actually
split
between
two
categories.
We'd
be
happy
to
go
offline
and
explain
how
the
mathematics
are
done
here.
Thank.
D
J
It's
correct
your
worship,
you
projected
the
forecast
for
2017
is
2.7%
2018,
2.5
and
2019
1.9
and
that's
the
approach
we
we
forecast
out
and
same
things.
You
did
last
year
and
then
we
when
it
comes
about
time.
We
look
at
that.
What
the
targets
here
and
see
what
we
can
do
to
achieve
those
targets.
Okay,
so.
D
H
Mr.
mayor,
if
I
may
I
mean
number
of
discussion,
was
some
of
my
colleagues
say:
I
agree,
the
traffic
is
still
weather,
comes
to
the
police
board
or
for
us,
as
a
council.
Still
the
number
one
complain
about
the
traffic
and
last
year,
as
you
heard
me
time
and
time
again
saying
we
are
pulling
some
of
the
officer
or
pulling
some
of
the
officer
to
support
the
guns
in
gang
units.
H
That's
why
we'll
be
very
successful
with
the
guns
in
gang,
but
the
other
area
has
suffered
a
little
bit
and
that's
why,
with
the
25,
when
people
can
go
to
back
to
their
position,
hopefully
the
traffic
unit
will
be
back
on
the
road
like
we're
supposed
to
be,
but
if
I
can
invite
all
my
colleagues
to
come
through
our
board
meeting
on
November
theories,
because
I
believe
mr.
mayor,
as
I
heard
from
the
deputy
treasurer
you're,
not
going
to
have
a
debate
here
on
budget
day.
So
any
question
of
this
nature
will
be
welcome.
A
E
I,
worship
and
members
of
council
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
present
the
Ottawa
Public
Library
board's
2016
draft
budget
today.
First
of
all,
this
wonderful
photo-
that's
up
here
is
actually
of
our
new
Constance
Bay
branch.
I
grew
up
in
that
village
I,
remember
quite
clearly,
and
it
never
looked
anything
like
that.
So
I
think
that's
some
good
work
that
we've
we
provided
within
the
community.
That
was
for
you
rely.
So
this
better
president
presentation
will
include
the
2016
draft
operating
and
capital
budget
for
OPL.
E
E
The
table
in
front
of
you
right
now
it
provides
the
details
on
how
opl
will
allocate
and
spend
to
the
one
point:
zero
four
one
million
target
and
the
operating
impact
requirements
for
the
central
library
development
project.
The
biggest
share
of
the
target
goes
towards
the
cost-of-living
adjustment
and
inflationary
costs
to
staff.
So
that's
our
p
on
the
city
to
run
our
thirty
three
branches
and
other
services,
so
a
quick
breakdown,
it's
for
other
services,
eight
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
OPL,
seven
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
and
for
the
city
component
to
eighty-five
thousand.
E
Hence
keeping
matters
such
as
maintaining
materials
handling
accounts
is
85
thousand.
We
also
have
one
time
pressures
of
treating
life
cycle
etc.
For
two
hundred
and
ninety
five
thousand
dollars.
The
central
library
project
planning
impact
on
an
operation
budget
involves
allocating
funds
and
operating
increases
to
pay
go
more.
Details
on
the
central
library
project
will
be
in
future,
slides.
E
The
2016
capital
fund
will
be
spent
in
three
categories:
renewal
of
city
assets
to
maintain
and
service
our
33
locations,
strategic
initiatives
to
move
the
board
strategic
priorities
forward.
That
includes
the
RFID,
putting
it
in
place
in
our
10
remaining
branches,
as
well
as
technology
lifecycle,
including
public,
accessible
workstations
and
finally,
growth.
The
funds
will
be
used
to
refresh
a
facility's
growth
study
that
will
align
with
our
2014
development
charges
by
law.
E
The
final
component
is
to
request
the
fund,
the
future
planning
requirements
for
the
central
library
development
project.
This
is
a
key
strategic
initiative
for
both
the
Ottawa
Public
Library
and
city
council.
Funding
requests
have
been
developed
in
conjunction
with
the
city
planners
with
our
city
partners,
in
Finance,
lepto
supply,
ISD,
etc.
E
In
based
on
the
intelligence
and
lessons
learned
on
other
city
capital
projects
such
as
our
court.
In
order
to
advance
this
initiative
in
2016,
the
funding
requirement
is
3.9
million
dollars.
Hope
y'all
has
found
1
million
dollars
and
that's
detailed
within
this
slide.
Lpl
is
requesting
the
city
of
fund
the
balance
of
the
2.9
million
dollars.
E
So
in
closing
this
is
a
very
straightforward
budget.
It
meets
the
City
Council's
target
4pl.
It
maintains
the
existing
staffing
complement
with
no
cuts
in
service
and,
at
the
same
time,
advances
the
key
strategic
initiatives
for
the
board
and
council
and
before
I,
wrap
up
and
say.
Thank
you.
I
do
want
to
paying
special
thanks
to
our
staff.
E
K
You
mr.
Maron
Thank
You,
chair
Tierney
and
mrs.
McDonald
as
well
I
just
have
a
quick
question
in
terms
of
the
central
library
development
and
in
terms
of
the
the
funding
that
we're
allocating
you
know.
On
the
one
hand
we
have
our
city
manager
and
everyone
talking
about
efficiencies
and
chasing
dollars
and
cents,
and
then
you
know
I
see
here,
nanos
research
to
undertake
public
opinion
and
research
and
then
engagement
strategy.
So
I
do
have
concerns
with
that.
And
you
know.
K
E
Rate
up,
thank
you
for
that
counselor
and
I
think
that
I
think
a
lot
of
the
direction
that
we've
taken
in
our
budget
is
directly
from
what
our
board
has
requested.
Those
surveys,
you
know
our
board-
has
the
demon
is
necessary
and
just
keep
in
mind.
If
we
do
nothing
with
this
building,
we've
already
made
the
decision
to
go
ahead
with
this
project.
E
K
E
And
that
is
actually
a
very
good
question:
Aurora
CO,
to
elaborate
on
its
before
that,
the
one
that
we
did
run
here
at
City
Hall.
It
really
dealt
with
the
inside
and
the
use
of
the
spaces.
What
we're
looking
at
is
something
that
came
out
of
our
board.
Actually
I
think
it
was.
A
trustee.
Wilkinson
actually
really
requested
more
in-depth
surveys
to
take
place
all
of
the
CEO
to
further
elaborate
on
that.
B
B
K
D
In
discussions
with
media
over
the
past
a
couple
of
years,
I
know
media
have
expected
materials
budgets
to
decline
because
of
the
drift
toward
electronic
materials.
That's
but
I
I
know
there
are
reasons
why
that
isn't
happening
and
if
it's
frustrating
to
the
library
community,
but
maybe
if
you
could
just
outline
why
that
general
situation
exists
right
now,.
E
Thank
you
for
that
councilors
rally
and
I'm
last
council.
Actually
we
with
the
support
of
this
council
through
the
mirror,
sending
letter
to
friends
in
heritage,
because
we
do
have
a
problem
when
it
comes
to
ebooks.
We
hear
time
and
time
again
about
well.
Why
are
we
just
going
to
ebooks?
Even
if
we
wanted
to
and
I'm,
not
suggesting
that
we
do
on?
Do
that,
because
we
do
have
people
that
do
like
their
physical
copies
of
books?
E
We
simply
couldn't
afford
to
a
book
that
may
come
in
a
traditional
print
format
that
we
put
in
our
shelves.
They
cost
only
fifteen,
maybe
twenty
dollars
if
we
want
to
do
the
exact
same
thing
in
the
electronic
world,
that
same
book
could
be
85,
100
120
dollars.
So
thank
you
for
highlighting
that
and
and
over
time,
hopefully
our
with
the
assistance
of
the
Federation
of
kee
missa
polities.
A
Thank
You
councillor
Shirley.
Thank
you
very
much,
chair,
Tierney
and
miss
McDonald
of
the
city.
The
recommendation
is
receiving
table
carried
items,
1,
2,
&,
3,
Ottawa,
board
of
health.
Counselor
cadre
has
a
presentation
with
our
medical
officer
of
Health
dr.
levy
and
welcome
dr.
levy
to
City
Council
and
to
chair
Qadri.
Please.
C
F
C
There
we
go
go
ahead.
There
we
are,
the
Board
of
Health
is
presenting
a
balanced
budget
of
59.0
million
dollars.
If
approved,
the
budget
will
represent
a
funding
provision
of
twelve
point:
six
million
from
the
city,
an
increase
of
three
hundred
thousand
over
two
2015
and
forty
six
point:
four
million
from
the
provincial
government
and
other
revenue
sources.
C
A
$200,000
one-time
investment
to
foster
to
health
in
our
community
through
initiatives
related
to
suicide
awareness,
reducing
stigma
and
promoting
workplace
mental
health.
A
$120,000
investment
to
increase
capacity,
to
identify,
investigate
and
manage
environmental
health
hazards
in
the
community
and
to
conduct
surveillance
address
long
range,
financial
pressures,
g2
IT
requirements
that
are
used
by
our
pH
in
the
delivery
of
client
care
and
services.
C
These
investments
will
help
to
ensure
the
provisions
of
public
health
programs
and
services
that
meet
the
needs
of
residents
and
communities
in
Ottawa
in
2016.
Oph
staff
will
continue
to
deliver
the
high
quality
of
programs
and
services
residents
have
come
to
rely
on.
This
will
be
achieved
through
an
ongoing
program
and
operational
reviews
so
that
emergency
community
needs
can
be
addressed
and
met.
C
C
A
You
have
any
questions
of
a
general
nature
to
the
delegation.
Okay,
thank
you.
So
the
recommendation
is
receiving
table
as
presented
items.
1,
&,
2
carried
okay.
So
now
we're
at
back
to
the
city
deputy
treasurer,
as
well
as
city
manager
and
deputy
city
managers,
for
questions
of
a
general
nature
on
the
budget.
Councillor
Nussbaum,
please
Thank.
D
D
Referring
to
slide
15
and
the
deputy
treasurer
his
presentation,
which
listed
a
series
of
operational
efficiencies
which
are
going
to
be
found
in
the
context
of
the
2016
budget,
to
the
tune
of
seventeen
point
four
million
dollars,
and
then
the
next
line
says
that
these
efficiencies
will
not
impact
frontline
services
and
departmental
efficiency
targets
to
be
achieved
through
a
review
of
how
current
services
are
delivered.
So
my
question
really
is
I
had
understood
when
we
had
this
conversation
at
budget
directions.
D
That
council
would
have
a
sense
before
voting
on
the
budget
of
what
the
seventeen
point,
four
million
dollars
in
operational
efficiencies
would
be,
and
I
thought
that
the
answer
was.
We
would
have
that
sense.
We
don't
have
it
in
this
deck
I'm.
Just
wondering
at
what
point
in
the
coming
weeks
will
we
get
a
sense
of
how
those
seventeen
point
four
million
dollars
will
be
achieved
because,
again
that's
what
I
had
understood
we
were
gonna
receive
over
the
course
of
this
budget
process.
Thank
you.
Just.
A
L
Community
I
mean
the
councillors
correct.
You
did
make
that
expectation
known
at
the
time
the
guidelines
were
considered,
and
so
there
is
more
information
in
the
transmittal
document,
but
the
it's
still
at
I'd
say
not
a
detailed
level.
The
approach
that
we're
recommending
and
we're
telling
general
managers
that
they
are
to
be
prepared
to
speak
to
their
budget
submission
at
the
standing
committees
in
detail,
and
that
would
include
more
detail
about
where
they
will
be
looking
to
find
the
efficiency
targets
they've
been
allocated
within
these
these.
D
Just
just
so
that
I'm
clear
so
again
on
slide
16,
where
you
identify
a
few
subject:
areas:
winter
operation,
efficiency,
contracting
out,
ironworks,
advertising
reduction,
street
lighting,
LED
conversion
and
reduction
to
admin
costs.
Those
are
going
to
be
articulated
by
staff
at
the
committee
budget
discussions
and
so
and
those
amounts
will
add
up
to
seventeen
point
four
million,
so
committee
members
will
have
an
opportunity
then,
to
get
into
detail
about
how
each
of
these
subject
areas
will
achieve
the
required
savings
to
get
to
seventeen
point
four.
Okay,
that.
L
D
L
Mr.
mayor
I,
just
by
way
of
examples,
so,
for
instance,
about
four
and
a
half
of
the
ten
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
operating
efficiencies,
that
is
you'll,
see
there
on
page
15
under
city
services,
so
the
strategy
there
is
that
we've
looked
at
five
or
six
accounts
that
we
believe
are
more
discretionary.
So
these
are
purchased
services,
consultants.
That
kind
of
thing
we've
looked
at
what
the
total
budget
for
those
accounts
are
across
the
corporation
and
we've
assigned
a
reduction
target
of
15
percent
of
those
accounts
against
departments.
So,
for
instance,
when
mr.
D
L
Could
provide
well,
there
is
details.
The
mayor
said
in
the
in
the
document.
We
could
provide
a
primer
if
you
will,
that
would
identify
at
the
higher
category
how
we're
targeting
these
allocations,
but
the
the
level
of
detail,
I,
would
say,
I
would
recommend
you'd
want
to
hear
that
directly
from
the
general
managers
at
the
standing
committees.
Thank.

those
details
are

this

and
you'll
see
the
details
for
the
reserves
there,
but
we're

Great
thank
you.
Mr.
mayor
I'll
dispense
with
that
reading
the
complete
motion
I've
circulated
and
spoken
to
many
men.
Excuse
me
spoken
to
many
members
of
council.
I,
see
lots
of
support.
I'll,
give
you
the
High
Line
of
it,
though,
before
I
read
the
the
therefore
it
be
resolved
clause.
The
National
zero-waste
council
has
been
working
with
many
different
cities,
not
just
us
to
lobby
the
federal
government
to
create
taxes
and
incentives
for
food
producers
and
suppliers.
Toronto
Edmonton,
Calgary
and
others
have
also
jumped
on
board
passing
or
in
the
process
of
passing
similar
resolutions.
E
That
will
see
incentives
given
to
these
producers
in
the
federal
government
configure
it.
How
that
is
the
short
of
it
is
when
life
cycle
runs
out
on
certain
fruits
and
vegetables,
it's
from
a
dollars
and
cents
point
of
view.
It's
hard
for
business
to
justify
about
putting
in
the
truck
paying
people
to
drive
it
over
to
a
food
bank
or
another
place
like
that,
and
we're
going
to
create
that
opportunity
and
give
incentive
instead
of
throwing
out
good
food.
E
So
therefore,
it'd
be
resolved,
that
the
City
of
Ottawa
can't
sell,
provide
a
letter
of
support
to
the
Nationals.
Your
waste
kills
whole
food
waste
reduction
proposal
and
asking
the
federal
government
to
introduce
a
policy
which
implements
a
tax
incentive
for
food
producers
and
suppliers
who
donate
their
unsold
edibles
foods.
Therefore,
by
reducing
the
unnecessary
food
waste,
decreasing
the
decreasing
disposal,
costs
to
municipalities,
reducing
environmental
impact
of
waste
food
and
addressing
issues
of
hunger
and
poverty
in
our
communities
and
be
it
FURTHER
RESOLVED
that
City
Council
track.
A
K
K
Motion
mr.
mayor
was
drafted
with
the
assistance
of
the
city
manager's
office
and
deputy
city
clerk
to
avoid
redundancy
and
provide
clear
direction
of
staff
with
any
$3,000,000
organized.
There
are
always
efficiencies
that
can
be
found
in,
especially
with
internally
facing
services
and
programs.
We
worked
with
staff
in
the
city,
manager's
office
and
deputy
city
clerk
to
drop
the
motion
that
is
complementary
to
councilor,
egg,
lice
and
both
broadens
and
folks,
as
the
administrative
review
set
out
in
his
direction
of
staff.
At
that
goal.
K
The
motion
does
a
number
of
things,
including
reviewing
internally
facing
programs
and
services
to
find
efficiencies
in
area
where
the
city
could
trim
back,
such
as
consultant
insertive
certain
administrative
positions
throughout
the
organization.
The
motion
also
asks
to
put
in
place
an
ongoing
challenge
function
for
these
services
and
programs
with
potential
to
have
external
individuals
from
those
services
and
programs
and
in
some
cases,
counselor
come
in
and
review
administrative
budget
allocations
prior
to
the
table.
I
know
the
job
budgets.
K
This
will
allow
for
both
an
objective
review
of
units
across
the
organization
and
potential
to
find
best
practices
that
can
be
adopted
elsewhere.
This
will
further
allow
committees
counselors
and
stop
to
be
able
to
find
administrative
efficiencies
on
an
ongoing
basis,
not
just
when
we
are
going
to
run
an
operating
deficit.
After
discussing
the
motion
with
staff,
I'm
convinced
that
we
will,
this
will
allow
us
to
find
a
significant
savings
without
compromising
publicly
phasing
services
or
programs.
K
This
is
a
healthy
exercise
that
any
organization
or
our
site
should
undertake
regularly
and
with
this
motion
allows
us
to
do
so
holistically
and
with
greater
input
from
leadership
across
the
organization,
including
counselors.
It's
important
to
note
that
the
current
hiring
and
spending
freeze
will
remain
in
place
until
the
program
is
developed
and
proved
by
council
and
to
be
clear,
this
motion
does
not
bind
council
but
rather
provides
further
direction
of
staff
as
they
drop.
K
E
E
I
You
mr.
mayor,
this
is
a
question
for
the
city
manager,
because
this
motion
is
related
to
the
direction
that
that
I
had
given
a
new
it's
spoken
about
earlier
today
for
everybody's
assistance
can
can
you
maybe
answer
two
questions?
Firstly,
because
your
timeline
is
getting
shorter
and
shorter,
will
you
be
able
to
accommodate
what
a
councilor
cactus
is
asking
for
in
time
to
be
part
of
the
report
to
fedko
based
on
the
original
timeline
in
the
direction?
L
Mr.
mayor
Steve
box
in
my
office
did
work
with
the
counselor's
office.
I
know
the
deputy
clerk
did
as
well
the
way
I
view
this
motion
is.
It
is
complementary
to
your
direction.
It
provides
its
if
it's
more
specific
about
particular
things.
Council
wants
to
ensure
that
management
considers
as
it's
developing
the
proposals
to
respond
to
your
direction.
In
terms
of
question
your
question
about
timing.
L
Yes,
we
have
the
time
to
to
take
this
direction
or
this
the
while
the
direction.
That's
in
this
resolution,
incorporated
into
our
proposal
that
we're
going
to
respond
to
your
direction
with
some
of
that
may
be
at
a
higher
level
in
terms
of
approach
and
with
detailed
to
follow
as
as
time
goes
on.
But
that's
how
we
view
intent
of
this
motion
and
I'd
recommend
it
to
Council
for
approval.
L
I
Main
concern
was
in
support
of
what
councilor
cactus
is
trying
to
do.
He
did
come
to
speak
to
me
and
I
think
I
think
that
they
there
is
a
dovetailing
there,
but
I
didn't
want
to
hold
up
the
process
in
any
way.
So
if
you're
confident
you
can
come
back
to
us
in
time
and
can
combine
the
two
into
one
report,
then
I'm
flying
with
that.
D
A
C
Thank
you
very
much
mr.
mayor
and
this
notice
of
motion
will
be
considered
at
the
next
council
meeting.
It
is
seconded
by
Councillor
Fleury.
The
motion.
Basically
mr.
mayor,
suggests
that
back
in
2012,
the
city
was
very
proactive
in
their
approach
for
smoke-free
Ottawa,
and
there
are
some
intricacies
that
have
developed
since
then
in
terms
of
the
new
equipment
for
smoking
products
or
new
products
being
introduced.
C
C
The
City
Council
requests
that
the
Board
of
Health
for
the
City
of
Ottawa
Health
Unit,
review
and
consult
with
relevant
stakeholders
on
expanding
of
its
smoke-free
bylaws
to
regulate
the
smoking
of
non-tobacco
combustible
substances,
including
herbal
water,
pipe
use
in
public
places
and
workplaces
and
report
back
to
the
Board
of
Health,
with
recommendations
for
the
community
and
Protective
Services,
Committee
and
council
in
time
for
implementation
prior
to
fall.
2016
and
further
be
resolved.
C
That
subject
to
the
Board
of
Health
approval
or
councils
request
set
out
in
the
above
recommendations
by
LAN
regulatory
services
and
legal
services,
work
with
Ottawa
Public
Health
to
review
and
recommend
any
required
updates
to
the
smoke-free
bylaws.
Based

the
review
listed
above,
including
any
operational
and
enforcement
considerations.
