A
A
Just
so,
everyone
gets
used
to
this
next
four
years.
I,
don't
do
speeches
so
we're
just
going
to
get
straight
to
the
agenda,
a
declaration
of
interest
seeing
none
company
minutes
the
meeting
of
November
22nd
2018
for
those
of
us
that
were
actually
there.
We
had
six
of
us
to
the
N,
so
isn't
carried
Gary
thanks
on
me
and
rally.
A
C
C
Under
the
specific
responsibilities,
what
I
would
like
to
direct
staff
to
do
is
add
in
review
and
make
recommendations
to
Council
with
regard
to
pollinating
species
such
as
bees
and
butterflies?
It's
something
that
is
already
being
worked
on.
The
chair
and
I
have
discussed
it.
The
mayor
is
certainly
spoken
about
the
beast
side
of
things
as
well
and
I.
Just
think.
It
sends
a
message
that
the
city's
taking
it
very
seriously-
and
we
do
have
a
report
coming
forward
in
this
this
year
on
the
issue
so
I
thought
to
be
helpful.
D
C
If
that's
be
emotion,
sure
we
can
do
that
yep,
so
I'll
move
that
as
a
motion
and
I'll
write,
the
motion
up
after
the
fact
sure,
if
that's
okay,
but
they
may
be
it
resolved,
would
be
for
staff
to
if
you
make
recommendations
to
counsel
with
regard
to
pollinating
species
such
as
bees
and
butterflies.
On
that
motion,.
A
Okay,
they
carry
much
like
the
reports.
They
were
to
be
coming
to
this
community.
Protect
with
that.
So
it's
good
to
get.
That's
immediate
need
agenda,
sir
noted
some
difference
so
on
the
left.
The
Standing
Committee
on
our
expression,
water
and
waste
management
recommend
council
approves
terms
of
reference,
as
outlined
in
this
report
and
chastised
document,
one
as
amended.
A
Carrie
Thank,
You,
ed
number,
two
status
updates
inquiries
and
motions
from
the
pyridine
february,
7
2019
at
Standing
Committee
on
Environmental
Protection
water,
rees
management
received
a
support
for
information
as
I
have
received
seemed
item.
Number
three:
is
the
appointments
to
the
environmental
stewardship
Advisory
Committee.
A
A
C
A
A
C
C
Ahead
again,
pet,
so
I
think
all
we're,
obviously
of
the
tornado
and
the
damage
that
it
did,
especially
from
a
tree
perspective
in
in
trend
Arlington.
The
city
has
done
a
number
of
things
to
get
financial
assistance
to
deal
with
the
issue
of
stump
grinding
or
removal.
This
is
something
the
city
doesn't
typically
cover,
especially
on
private
property.
It's
also
something
that
we
found
out
the
hard
way
that
insurance
companies
don't
generally
cover
unless
the
tree
that
came
down
actually
did
damage
to
your
property.
C
B
E
Questions
are
for
staff
in
staff.
Just
talk
about
I
know:
counselor
I
do
I
talk
to
that.
It's
more
of
a
hormonal
responsibility
if
the
need
of
stump
grinding
is
on
private
property
counsellors.
Talking
about
two
things,
one
is
to
come
back
with
a
plan
on
how
the
city
is
going
to
coordinate
with
partners
in
the
community,
but
also
that,
if
there's
funding
leftover
that
we
use
that
funding
so
can
staff
just
talk
about
that
briefly
is
personal.
Is
the
funding
left
over?
E
D
Through
the
chair,
the
first
question,
I
believe
was:
is
there
additional
funding?
That's
left
over
the
province
at
this
time?
There
is
some
additional
funding
that's
left
over.
We
did
have
to
cut
our
operations
short
this.
This
past
fall
because
of
the
early
snowfall.
So
we
do
have
some
continued
plans
in
terms
of
cleanup
efforts
and
efforts
along
these
cities
right
away
in
parks,
but
we
do
believe
there
will
be
some
additional
funds
that
we
can
help
support
through
our
NGO
Alliance
memberships,
some
of
the
work
that
can
continue
to
happen
on
private
property.
D
Second
question
I
believe
was
in
terms
of
what
have
Brethren's
been
doing
at
this
point
in
time
in
terms
of
stump
grinding
I,
don't
believe,
there's
been
a
significant
amount
of
workers.
Most
of
the
concentration
was
happening
on
safety,
sensitive
items.
Well,
it
was
removal
of
trees
and
wood
debris
from
property.
That
is
a
piece
that
is
going
to
become
full
force
this
spring,
because
there
are
many
residents
in
the
tornado
affected
areas
that
are
looking
to
replant.
So
there
will
have
to
be
some
work.
C
A
Alright,
thank
you
very
much.
Chelsea
London
on
the
motion
from
Council
I
carry
thank
you
and
there
are
two
items
information
previously
distributed.
One
is
the
angle:
drinking
water,
source
protection
status
updates.
The
other
is
the
urban
forest
management
plan
at
2018
update
and
nine
2019
2020.
This
is
an
item
that
previous
chairman
council
asked
for
a
report
on
its
here
as
asked
merely
item,
but
I
think
we
want
actually
gets
a
presentation
on
that.
So
councillor
Menard
has
a
has
a
motion
to
add
that
to
the
agenda.
Thanks.
C
A
The
motion
to
add
the
item
to
the
agenda
carried
Soviet
item
number
600
that
we'll
get
to
that
after
the
budgets
so
back
to
item
number
before
which
the
20
draft
operating
capital,
budget,
tax
and
late
supported
for
our
committee,
I
just
asked
staff
to
come
and
provide
a
presentation
with
the
presentation
from
staff
and
then
we'll
move
to
delegations.
At
this
point
we
have
seven
delegations.
B
In
conclusion,
no
good
morning
we're
here
to
present
the
draft
2019
tax
rate
budget
to
the
Environmental
Protection
water/wastewater
Standing
Committee
with
me
today,
Alan
Gahan
Shea
will
be
presenting
some
of
the
slides
and
Isabel
Jasmine
will
be
presenting
some
of
the
financial
slides
and
to
my
left
is
Megan
Mitchell.
She
will
be
making
sure
we
stay
on
track.
D
Budget
has
broken
down
into
proposed
expenditures,
recoveries
and
revenue.
It
also
highlights
the
overall
changes
since
2018
in
total.
The
proposed
tax
support,
a
budget
for
environment
protection,
water
and
wastewater
management
is
128
point:
eight
million
towards
infrastructure
services,
thirty-one
point:
four
million
resiliency
natural
systems
policy,
1.5
million,
solid
waste
services;
seventy
seven
point:
two
million
and
forestry
services;
eighteen
point:
six
million,
that's
where
this
represents
an
increase
of
4.4
million
in
gross
expenditures
from
2018
2.2
million
more
in
net
expenditures,
as
reflected
in
the
chart.
B
Some
of
the
key
highlights
of
the
proposed
budget
include
all
programs
to
include
adjustment
for
2019,
cost-of-living
increments
and
benefit
adjustments.
Inflation
and
growth
increases
to
curbside
and
multi-residential
garbage
recycling
and
green
bin
collection
contracts,
an
increase
in
the
solid
waste
fee
for
single-family
and
multi-residential
households
by
$2
and
$1
respectfully,
respectively,
and
upon
approval
of
the
budget.
Solid
waste
fees
will
increase
by
$2
to
$88
per
household
for
curbside
collection
and
by
$1
to
$43
per
household
for
multi
residential
collection
on
the
tax
capital
budget.
B
15
million
dollars
is
earmarked
for
solid
waste
assets
and
initiatives
of
which
will
come
back
of
which
will
come
from
the
capital
reserve
fund
and
revenue.
This
includes
four
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
solid
waste
free
to
purchase
three
pickup
trucks
and
a
backhoe
and
a
roll-off
truck
for
use
at
railroad.
B
Seven
point:
six
million
dollars
for
landfill
disposal
capping
Stage
two-
and
this
is
the
second
of
three
phases
of
the
final
cap
on
stage
two:
two
million
dollars
for
springle
landfill
for
the
design
and
of
an
impermeable
cap
and
stormwater
management
system.
These
funds
will
be
recovered
as
per
the
management
agreement,
five
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
the
Nepean
landfill
cap
repair,
which
is
ongoing
maintenance,
2.25
million
dollars
for
trail
road
regulatory
work.
B
This
includes
projects
like
the
electrical
charging
stations,
waste
heat
survey
and
bio
biogas,
feasibility
survey,
three
million
dollars
for
energy
management
and
investment
strategy.
Major
projects
include
adding
building
automated
systems
to
30
facilities
that
currently
don't
have
it.
Upgrading
more
of
the
city
to
LED
lighting
and
adding
an
electric
boiler
at
Walter
Baker.
B
So
now
we
transition
to
the
draft
rate
budget.
The
rate
budget
includes
three
main
service
areas:
water
services,
voice,
water
services
and
stormwater
services.
The
total
replacement
value
for
the
assets
that
are
supporting
these
services
as
estimated
at
over
21
billion,
which
represents
about
half
of
this
city's
over
Oh
structure
assets.
B
More
than
5,800
culverts,
375
stormwater
facilities,
including
27
in
the
rural
areas
and
I,
was
noted
in
the
2017
study
asset
report
number
of
stormwater
assets,
including
large
sewer
pipes
and
culverts,
are
in
need
of
renewal.
These
are
critical
assets
and
that
are
required
to
ensure
continued
service
and
reduce
the
risk
of
flooding
and,
as
as
will
be
discussed
in
this
presentation,
these
investments
are
driving
higher
percentage
rate
increases.
D
So
the
proposed
rate
supported
operating
budget
for
EP
wwm,
allocates
404
million
towards
drinking
water,
186
point
four
million
waste
water,
163
million
and
stormwater
fifty
four
point:
five
million,
because
these
are
capital
intensive
services.
Over
half
of
the
expenditure
budget
goes
towards
the
contribution
to
capital
box
company
160
million
and
the
debt
servicing
costs
of
55
million
for
debt
issued
on
capital
projects
that
have
been
completed.
D
All
programs
include
an
adjustment
for
potential
2019,
cost-of-living
events
and
benefit
adjustments.
The
contribution
to
capital
includes
a
portion
for
inflation
and
an
increase
to
the
contribution
to
capital
to
address
the
infrastructure
gap.
The
LFP
increase
for
water
is
1.4
million
waste
water,
2.4
million
in
stormwater
is
4.5
million.
The
remainder
of
those
amounts
of
the
increases
goes
towards
inflation.
The
27-17
l
RFP
identified
an
annual
funding
gap
of
approximately
40
million
in
total
to
be
addressed
within
five
years.
D
The
new
rate
structure
and
rate
increases
will
take
effect
on
April
1st
for
an
average
urban
residential
home
that
receives
a
water
bill.
The
overall
average
increase
is
36
36
dollars
annually
or
$3
per
month,
and
for
the
average
rural
non
connected
single-family
home,
an
increase
is
$4
report,
II
cents
for
the
year
or
37
cents
per
month.
D
Between
2019
and
2020
to
the
proposed
budget
forecasts
680
1.7
million
to
renew
and
grow
water,
wastewater
and
stormwater
infrastructure
for
20
1944
point:
4
million
is
for
drinking
water
infrastructure,
a
four
point:
eight
million
the
rate
portion
of
integrated
roads,
water
and
wastewater.
Twenty-One
point:
two
million
were
sorry
for
integrated
water
and
wastewater
infrastructure.
Thirty
eight
point:
seven
for
stormwater
infrastructure
and
seventy
four
point:
eight
million
for
wastewater
infrastructure.
B
So
going
to
speak
to
a
couple
slides
that
summarize,
seventy
key
investments
on
this
lay
without
going
through
all
the
specifics
in
terms
of
watering
for
structure
were
looking
at
forty
four
point:
two
million
of
investments
in
also
twenty-one
point
two
million
for
water
and
sewer
type
investments.
What's
also
important
to
note
that
was
identified
in
the
previous
slide
as
per
the
Transportation
Committee
budget,
there
is
also
109
million
of
investments
for
integrated
road
water,
sewer
infrastructure
projects.
B
In
terms
of
stormwater
infrastructure
will
look
at
investments
of
about
thirty
eight
point.
Seven
million
of
that
over
sixty
million
is
for
the
renewal
of
drainage,
culverts,
of
which
twelve
million
is
being
invested
in
rule
Awards,
and
we
also
have
nearly
seventy
five
million
for
wastewater
related
investments.
B
A
C
Therefore,
it
be
resolved
at
the
Standing
Committee
on
Environmental
Protection,
water
and
waste
management
receive
and
consider
the
attached
amended
pages
of
the
draft

to

that's
the

and

Forecast.
Summary
thank.
A
You
very
much
councillors
on
that
motion.
Okay,
thank
you.
Just
before
we
get
I
just
one
quick
thing
just
because
it's
fresh
in
the
mind
of
the
with
the
two
last
slides,
the
reserves
keys,
remind
us
and
those
in
the
room
how
much
we
take
from
reserves
annually
from
the
budget
that
also
how
much
in
a
separate
part
of
the
budget
we
put
right
back
in
so.
D
So
what
goes
into
reserves
at
the
end
of
the
year
is
any
surpluses,
but
yeah
and
any
deficits
would
also
be
covered
by
reserves.
But
yes,
every
as
part
of
the
operating
budget.
We
put
money
aside
to
reserves
and
that's
the
cash
portion
that
helps
to
fund
capital
projects
is
also
debt.
That's
a
used
to
in
to
fund
projects
to
XP.
D
You,
my
name,
is
Erin
Andrews
I'm
from
Ottawa
and
I'm,
a
member
of
the
healthy
transportation
coalition
I'm
concerned
about
the
global
climate
crisis
that
we're
facing,
and
in
this
context
we
need
to
think
seriously
about
our
emissions
as
a
city
and
focus
on
making
our
transit
service
work
for
everyone
in
Ottawa.
Some
of
you
are
involved
in
the
transit
Commission.
Some
of
you
are
not,
but
as
members
of
the
Environment
and
climate
protection
committee,
please
don't
allow
the
silos
that
are
created
by
City
Hall
to
keep
you
from
thinking
about
these
important
environmental
issues.
D
I
first
learned
about
the
healthy
transportation
Coalition
in
2015
when
I
applied
to
work
with
them
on
as
a
summer
student.
At
that
time,
one
of
my
main
projects
was
researching
options
for
low-income
bus
passes
and
circulating
a
petition
asking
the
City
of
Ottawa
to
implement
one.
We
were
able
to
collect
over
3,000
signatures
and
our
campaign
was
a
huge
success
ultimately
leading
to
the
echo
pass,
which
now
exists.
I
was
thrilled,
but
the
cost
of
backwe
pass.
D
It
still
represents
a
major
expense
and
a
barrier
to
many
people,
I
graduated
from
my
master's
program
in
March,
and
have
struggled
to
find
a
good
job
since
then
to
me
and
many
others.
The
cost
of
transit
makes
a
big
difference
in
my
life,
I
didn't
buy
a
Monthly
Pass
for
February,
because
I
could
save
a
few
dollars
from
the
fewer
trips
I.
Take
a
function
of
the
past
lasting
for
the
calendar
month
rather
than
30
days
until
very
recently,
I
relied
exclusively
on
transit
to
get
around
the
city.
D
It
took
me
an
hour
and
45
minutes
at
best
to
travel
from
my
home
in
Heron
Park,
to
where
my
parents
lived
in
Pineview,
the
only
a
15
minute
drive,
the
trip
required
me
to
take
or
two
or
even
three
buses.
I
now
have
a
car
that
I
bought
for
a
very
low
price
and
sometimes
I
Drive
to
places
that
I
might
otherwise
bust
you
because
gas
is
so
cheap
and
bus
fare
is
so
expensive.
These
are
choices
that
regular
people
are
making
every
day
because
the
buses
are
inconvenient.
D
The
cost
of
transit
in
the
city
is
so
high,
sometimes
I
dread,
because
if
I,
don't
I
simply
can't
make
it
to
my
in
appointments,
a
struggle
that
many
of
you
faced
during
the
transit
challenge,
I'm
fortunate
in
being
able
to
afford
this
option,
but
many
people
can't
the
problem
here
is
twofold:
first,
the
transit
system
is
inequitable.
The
draft
budget
for
2019
includes
a
fare
hike
of
2.5
percent
for
all
transit
fares,
including
low-income
passes.
The
cost
of
transit
already
excludes
many
from
using
it,
and
what
raising
the
fares
will
only
compound
the
problem.
D
We
must
freeze
fares
to
ensure
that
everyone
can
access
transit
to
be
able
to
get
around,
but,
secondly,
the
transit
system
does
not
provide
adequate
service.
If
we
want
to
reduce
our
emissions
and
become
a
cleaner,
greener
city,
we
need
a
transit
system
that
meets
our
needs.
We
need
a
transit
system
that
is
extensive
and
reliable
enough
that
even
those
who
could
afford
to
drive
will
choose
not
to
we've
achieved
this
in
some
areas.
D
Many
who
can
afford
to
live
near
the
transit
way
and
work
downtown
choose
to
take
transit
for
their
commute,
but
this
isn't
enough
to
reduce
congestion
and
fight
climate
change.
We
need
better
local
connections
to
transit,
so
people
live
living
further
from
the
transit
way
and
light.
Rail
are
also
well
serviced
and
we
need
better
connections
between
suburbs,
what
lower-income
people
tend
to
live
and
where
lower
paying
jobs
tend
to
be
located.
To
this
end,
we
need
two
key
actions.
We
need
to
freeze
the
low
income
fares
immediately.
D
It
would
only
cost
one
hundred
and
five
thousand
dollars
out
of
2019
three
point:
six
billion
dollar
budget,
and
in
the
past
week
more
than
90
people
have
emailed
the
mayor
and
their
councillors
to
call
for
this
freeze.
This
is
something
we
can
and
must
do
in
the
short
term.
Secondly,
we
must
invest
in
transit
service
to
underserved
areas.
We
must
strengthen
connections
to
rapid
transit
in
places
like
dengue,
like
Greenville,
East
and
Carlington
and
communities
without
light
rail
service,
and
especially
in
low-income
neighborhoods.
D
The
City
of
Ottawa
has
an
equity
and
inclusion
lens
that
should
be
applied
to
all
its
areas
and
work.
It's
meant
to
be
applied,
but
each
of
you
has
to
think
about
what
this
means
for
you.
As
members
of
this
committee,
we've
met,
we
need
an
equitable
and
inclusive
City,
where
transit
is
affordable
for
everyone
and
serves
everyone's
needs,
not
just
those
who
work
downtown.
You
have
a
responsibility
to
ensure
that
Ottawa
is
equitable
and
inclusive.
D
A
A
When
I
feel
there's
data
in
world
city
councillors-
and
we
all
have
a
role
and
every
single
one
of
these
committees-
and
we
all
make
decisions
at
the
end
of
the
day
on
the
entire
budget,
but
just
in
terms
of
what
we
can
actually
do
here.
We
any
motion
that
would
be
come
forward
based
on
your
best
dish,
will
actually
be
out
of
order.
But
I
do
appreciate
that
you
won't
cut
you
off,
because
you
did
take
the
time
to
come
here
and
I.
Appreciate
that
you
have
a
question.
C
The
overlap,
obviously,
between
climate
change
and
our
transit
system,
it's
one
of
the
major
emissions
outputs
that
we
have
as
a
city
is
our
transit
fleet
and
we
have
it
been
moving
to
electric
vehicles
as
an
example
and
fares,
of
course,
play
into
how
many
people
take
take
rides.
You
mentioned
$105,000
at
figure,
four
freezing
at.
C
B
B
In
fact,
I
could
say
that
the
water
coming
out
of
a
tap
is
as
good
as
or
better
than
the
water
in
plastic
bottles.
The
recent
study
in
McGill
last
year
on
five
major
water
corporations
studied
the
quality
of
the
water
and
in
30
or
50
of
the
cases
there
was
found
to
be
microplastics
in
the
water
in
plastic
bottles.
So
we
can
safely
say
the
water
in
your
tap
is
good
as
good
as
or
sometimes
better
than
the
water
in
a
plastic
bottle.
B
Now.
Another
thing
to
look
at
is
the
cost
of
these.
The
watering,
the
plastic
bottle,
the
cost
of
new
water
coming
out
of
the
tap
you
can
take
a
whole
region
and
the
cost
is
a
quarter
of
a
cent
I
went
downstairs
this
morning
and
let
that
the
Aquafina
a
bottle
for
half
a
liter.
You
pay
two
thousand
twenty
cents.
That
means
that
the
water
in
a
plastic
bottle
is
one
thousand
seven
hundred
times
more
than
the
cost
of
the
excellent
water
coming
out
of
your
tap.
B
There's
something
wrong
here
and
what's
wrong.
Is
that
the
release
of
a
binding
water
in
classic
vault
is
increasing
and
one
in
five
Canadians
drinks,
all
of
their
water
from
plastic
bottles?
Why
am
I
talking
to
you?
Because
you
are
in
charge
of
setting
policy
about
our
municipal,
tap
water
and
I?
As
a
member
of
our
Osage?
We
are.
We
have
two
goals.
One
is
to
wait
the
public
up
about
this.
This
is
incredible.
B
We
resented
the
environmental
damage,
that's
being
done
and
the
fact
that
last
year
alone,
the
sales
of
water
in
plastic
bottles
went
up
not
down
so
wake
up
the
apni
in
the
public,
but
to
encourage
the
city
to
be
more
in
promoting
their
own
good,
tap
water,
and
there
are
two
things
you
could
do
here.
One
is
whenever
you
have
an
event
and
you
supply
water,
do
not
supply
water
and
plastic
ball
supply
water
from
the
top
and
reusable
containers.
This
has
not
always
been
done
most
times.
B
You
did
that's
good
and
in
fact
let
me
let
me
compliment
you
for
trying
to
do
something
in
this
regard
you
have
tried
to
put
in,
and
you
have
put
in
more
water
fountains
you've.
Never
years
ago
put
money
into
this
and
it
was
simple
promotion
about
tap
water,
but
we're
not
winning
a
game.
The
second
thing
we
strongly
recommend
that
you
do.
Is
you
stop
selling
water
in
plastic
bottles
in
long
municipal
buildings?
Now
listen
Vancouver
has
done
this
owner
has
done
this
as
we
speak.
B
B
Why
did
they
do
that,
because
they're
trying
to
promote
their
own,
better
quality,
lower
cost
water-
it
seems
obvious
there's
will
be,
is
what
we
are
pleading
with
you
when
these
contracts-
and
there
are
contracts
held
by
coca-cola
and
PepsiCo
or
others
to
sell
this
in
your
buildings
when
they
come
to
expiry
we're
asking
you
to
say
no
more
sale
of
plastic
water
bonds
in
buildings.
Why
would
you
do
that?
Because
of
all
the
containers,
all
the
symbols,
plastic
and
a.
A
B
A
B
Sheeler,
thank
you
very
much.
I
know
we've
met
about
this
and
thank
you
for
highlighting
the
the
extraordinary
quality,
the
world-class
quality
of
Ottawa
water.
There
are
hundreds
of
thousands
of
tests
every
year
that
the
city
undertakes
to
keep
the
water
safe
and
the
the
issue
is
I
am
fully
on
board
with
with
adjusting
the
contracts
when
they
come
to
you.
The
issue
is
that
often
water.
B
What's
important,
I
have
spoken
with
Jen
chieh
about
this,
about
inventory
our
water
fountains
in
our
community
centres
to
make
sure
that
that
water
is
available,
and
then
the
issue
becomes
how
to
ensure
that
how
to
try
and
encourage
people
to
bring
their
own
water
bottles,
but
an
option
I
had
discussed
this
with
councillor
Bernard,
who
I
know,
is
very
interested
in
it
might
be
to
to
encourage
coker
whomever
holds
the
contract
to
sell
reusable
bottles
from
their
vending
machine.
They
could
do
so
at
the
same
price
because
you
know
the
cost.
B
The
marginal
cost
of
water
is
a
quarter
of
a
cent.
You
said
it's
it's
the
shipping,
it's
the
product,
it's
the
production.
That
is
where
the
cost
is.
We
can
encourage
coke
to
sell
reusable
water
bottles
and
that
could
then
be
quickly
remediate.
Lis
filled
up
at
the
at
the
fountain
adjacent
to
the
vending
machine.
That
would
be
a
solution,
and
that
would
highlight
the
problem.
The
the
opportunity,
if
I,
might
the
opportunity
that
that
is
before
us.
B
So,
thank
you
for
your
work
on
this
as
yet
solution
would
be
a
one
answer
in
the
corporations
that
sell
by
the
water
would
like
that.
But
there
is
a
better
solution
and
that's
the
supply
of
excellent,
reusable
top
honors
community,
the
top
in
every
home.
Absolutely
that's
the
better
solution
and
and
that
that'd
be
available
at
our
arenas,
our
community
centers
and
fully
available
fault.
It's
more
waterfall.
D
You
chair
arm
and
thank
you
for
coming
out.
I
really
appreciate
your
presentation
and
it
is
something
that
we
absolutely
have
to
consider.
As
Lee
we've
got
to
get
plastic
bottles
out
of
City
Hall.
It's
ridiculous
that
we
add
them
so
I'm
going
to
be
able
to
either
want
to
ask
staff
some
very
specific
questions
or
it
will
come
as
I'll
put
it
out
there.
The
questions
that
I
want
answered
and
then
maybe
we
could
decide
our
staff
can
decide
whether
that
should
come
as
an
inquiry
or
if
they
can
answer
it.
D
D
So
those
are
the
four
questions
I
like
answered
either
today
or
as
a
result
of
an
inquiry,
because
I
think
I'm
quite
serious
and
I
think
several
of
my
colleagues
that
it's
actually
an
embarrassment
that
we
sell,
bottled
water
in
the
City
of
Ottawa
facilities
and
it
has
to
stop-
and
we
do
it
only
to
make
money
to
fill
our
budget
holes
so
we'll
have
to
find
that
money
somewhere
else,
but
certainly
cannot
come
at
the
expense
of
the
environment,
so
I.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation.
A
B
Comments
on
the
draft
budget
from
your
now
former
environmental
stewardship
Advisory
Committee
will
be
brief
for
two
reasons.
The
election
cycle
note
that
we
did
not
receive
the
detailed
staffing
which
we
enjoyed
last
year
and,
more
importantly,
the
level
of
funding
for
activities
relevant
to
e
sacs
mandate
is
fairly
low.
Realistically,
we
did
not
expect
a
municipally
green
deal
that,
in
light
of
recent
weather
here
and
political
developments
in
Toronto
and
Washington,
we
had
hoped
that
otherwise,
these
civic
leaders
would
be
far
more
active
on
the
environmental
file.
B
Half
of
carbon
emissions
are
under
the
direct
or
indirect
influence
of
the
utilities
and
the
UN
climate
panel
ones
that
there
are
less
than
three
terms
of
council
left
before
a
planet
potentially
goes
down
the
toilet.
It
then
becomes
waste
water
and
sorry
that
was
a
bad
pun.
D
sac
understands
your
desired
to
keep
taxes
low,
but
we
would
have
liked
to
see
more
funding
to
deal
with
local
environmental
issues,
ranging
from
invasive
species
to
winter
cycling,
in
pedestrian
pathways,
from
boosting
infrastructure
that
supports
the
environment
to
tapping
into
FCM
green
funds.
B
Since
we
were
completely
shut
out
again
from
the
latest
round.
You
have
allocated
money
for
tree
planting,
but
much
of
that
will
simply
replace
the
forest
cover
destroyed
by
our
recent
tornado,
which
leaves
minor
incremental
carbon
sequestration
or
stone
water
absorption.
We
hope
that
proposed
funding.
B
The
road
resurfacing
is
sufficient
to
avoid
diverting
the
surplus
from
hydro
Ottawa
to
fill
potholes
again,
and
that
this
year's
surplus
from
hydro
Ottawa
will
go
towards
activities
which
are
a
little
bit
than
ashphalt,
although
at
a
much
lower
level
you
have
allocated
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
energy
evolution,
but
no
action
plan
will
emerge
until
later.
This
year
you
proposed
three
million
dollars
to
retrofit
municipal
buildings
for
energy
efficiency,
that
your
green
building
policy
never
mention
retrofits
in
both
2017
and
2018
ISA
formally
recommended
that
older
city
buildings
also
be
included.
B
So
if
this
inclusion
is
due
to
our
persistent
whining,
thank
you
very
much
for
listening,
but
please
read
the
five
other
recommendations
on
improving
energy
in
municipal
buildings,
so
ease
up
would
like
to
table
five
comments
with
this
day
humidity
for
consideration.
Some
are
not
directly
our
completely
under
your
terms
of
reference,
but
they
all
have
a
very
clear
environmental
focus.
This
draft
budget
contains
record
funding
for
affordable
housing.
The
average
housing
unit
in
Ontario
consumes
more
than
32,000
kilowatt
hours
of
Energy's
each
year
and
emits
4,000
kilograms
of
carbon.
B
So
exemplary
efforts
are
needed
to
ensure
that
these
units
are
affordable
and
as
energy
efficient
as
possible
to
minimize
operating
costs.
Carbon
emissions
for
years
to
come
in
terms
of
environmental
transportation.
Council
could
consider
converting
a
key
downtown
streets
such
as
bank
and
Elgon,
to
be
accessible
only
to
electric
or
multi
occupant
vehicles.
We
have
high
occupancy
green
lanes
on
highway
417
and
each
that
suggests
this
concept
could
decrease
tailpipe
emissions
in
our
city
court
at
almost
no
cost.
B
Thirdly,
we
strongly
urge
that
our
official
plan
insert
measures
which
will
allow
Council
to
acquire
environmental
greenness
from
all
stakeholders,
especially
in
the
building
sector.
For
years,
you
have
said
that
the
city
cannot
maintain
higher
levels
of
energy
efficiency
or
lower
through
development
agreements
and
bylaws,
so
we
ended
up
paying
five
billion
dollars
a
year
to
import
carbon
energies.
This
calendar
is
due
only
to
the
lack
of
permissive
measures
in
our
official
plan
and
that
can
be
remedied
now
at
zero
cost.
B
Last
month,
council
said
that
climate
impact
lens
will
be
applied
to
all
decisions
going
forward.
This
climate
impact
lens
should
start
now
with
this
draft
budget
and
finally,
a
budget
is
a
one
year
document,
but
isaq
appeals
for
bold
and
actionable
strategic
priorities
for
this
term
with
Council
that
will
keep
out
off
from
languishing
in
the
bottom
lengths
of
environmental
stewardship.
There
are
three
terms
of
council
left
before
the
UN
ones
our
environment
is
in
trouble.
Ji-Suk
thinks
it
would
be
very
unfortunate
if,
although
us
it's
this
term
out,
thank
you
for
your
consideration.
D
You
for
that
I
just
wanted
to
pick
up
on
your
comment
about
the
new,
affordable
housing
and
a
the
villain
key
made
with
energy
and
energy
efficiency.
I
just
wanted
to
point
out,
I'm
sure
you
know,
and
we
can
do
better,
certainly
that
Salas
Ottawa
actually
just
built
the
first
multi
residential,
passive
hem
in
in
the
city
and
out
of
a
community
housing,
is
going
to
build
another
passive
building
on
Rochester.
D
So
our
our
nonprofit
agencies
are
actually
leading
the
way
our
social
housing
providers
and
supportive
housing
providers
are
actually
leading
the
way
on
energy
efficiency
and
passive
builds,
often
because
they
house
the
very
people
who
need
that
type
of
savings,
but
also
because
they
are
not
very
good
stewards.
So
I,
just
I
just
wanted
to
play.
I
know
that
you
probably
know
that,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
point.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
it
up.
I
appreciate.
D
D
I,
just
I'd
like
to
stress
the
importance
of
investing
in
transportation
infrastructure
to
get
people
off
the
roads
which
can
be
done
by
improving
connections
and
among
communities
and
reducing
fears,
transit
and
house
housing
are
both
huge
factors
that
affect
the
environment.
So
it's
important
not
to
disregard
that.
D
The
beyond
2036
plan
envisions
Auto
as
the
most
livable
city,
which
strives
for
safety,
quality
of
education
choices
and
mobility
and
access
to
city
amenities
and
residents
describe
livability
in
regards
to
transportation
as
affordable,
accessible
and
convenient.
If
we
want
to
become
the
city
envisioned
in
the
beyond
2036
plan,
we
must
focus
on
improving
public
transportation
and
effort
to
reduce
private
car
usage,
which
is
one
of
the
leading
causes
of
emissions
and.
D
D
Investing
in
transportation
by
improving
connections
to
transit
is
key
for
reduced
personal
vehicle
use
and
allows
for
the
compact
urban
design
sought-after,
but
beyond
2036
plan
and
the
city
of
Ottawa's
our
goal
to
become
the
most
said
he
by
2036
must
be
deeply
considered
by
the
environmental
and
social
impact
so
and
City
Council
must
deeply
consider
the
environmental
and
social
impact
of
an
important,
accessible
and
equal
chance
per
tation
system.
By
committing
to
efficient
land-use
in
a
quality
transit
system,
this
goal
becomes
more
feasible.
C
Thanks
very
much
mr.
Schurr,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
delegation.
We've
actually
heard
delegations
at
every
committee
so
far
around
healthy
transportation
and
the
cost
of
our
transit
system.
How
that
relates
to
everything
we
do
in
the
city,
I
think
you're
so
right
to
point
out
the
new
to
be
on
2036
plan,
which
does
directly
in
there
say
that
we
need
an
affordable,
accessible
transportation
system.
So
to
you,
what
does
that
mean?
Does
that
mean
$3.50
fares?
Does
it
mean
the
highest
some
of
the
highest
fares
in
North
America.
D
D
Water
and
waste
management,
were
you
aware
that
the
that
the
document,
the
draft
budget
2019
for
the
Standing
Committee
on
Environment,
Protection,
water
and
wastewater,
is
actually
entitled
better
roads
and
transit,
safer
communities,
more
housing?
Just
saying,
were
you
okay?
Thank
you,
so
I
didn't
until
now,
I
looked
it
up
and
there
it
is
transit.
It's
a
good
honest.
We
know
the
relevance.
I
realize
that
asking
specific
transit
questions
and
budget
questions
on
transit
is
somewhat
out
of
order
and
we
can't
read
you
about
it,
but
it
does
so
transit
right
there
on
the
document.
D
C
Good
morning,
I
prepared
a
slide
show
for
this,
this
morning's
presentation
and
very
happy
to
be
here
on
behalf
of
ecology
Ottawa.
So
we
were
positioning
our
statements
in
the
context
of
climate
change.
I
think
it's
a
it's
a
theme,
we're
hearing
a
lot
about
today.
This
is
this
is
a
rough
estimate
as
to
where
we
are
and
where
we
can
get
given
the
tools
at
our
disposal
towards
our
2050
target
and
as
as
many
of
you
know,
our
2050
target
is
80%
below
2012
level,
so
fairly
big
jump
down
from
where
we
currently
are.
C
We
have
seen
recent
emissions
reductions
due
to
the
coal
phase-out
largely,
but
we're
going
to
need
to
do
a
lot
on
transportation,
buildings
and
especially
renewable
energy.
These
three
areas,
as
we
move
forward,
as
well
as
others
like
agriculture
and
waste
management
and
so
yeah.
That's
that's
how
our
positioning
our
comments
today
in
terms
of
the
the
positive
aspects
of
this
draft
budget.
C
There
are
a
few
things
that
we
took
away,
that
that
were
definitely
good
news,
continued
funding
for
energy
evolution
and
the
addition
of
two
million
dollars
for,
what's
colloquially
known
as
the
bean
team.
So
this
is
the
the
energy
efficiency
group
within
City
Hall
working
on
corporate
the
mission.
So
that's
that's
fantastic!
That's
a
good
increase
tree
canopy
we're
seeing
more
of
the
same,
which
is
you
know,
500,000
trees
over
four
years.
So
these
are
all
steps
in
the
right
direction.
C
We
do
have
a
list
of
questions
and
concerns,
though,
first
of
all
on
energy
evolution.
The
question
is:
is
$150,000
enough
for
basically
managing
a
massive
energy
transition
and
piloting
the
City
of
Ottawa
through
one
of
the
largest
crises
facing
humanity
today.
So
the
scope
of
the
challenge
is
quite
large.
Is
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
enough
to
throw
at
the
problem
we're
skeptical.
Last
year
we
were
asking
for
1.5
million
dollars.
City
came
up
with
five
hundred
thousand
dollars,
so
we're
seeing
a
decrease.
We
do
have
questions
as
to
the
staffing
composition.
C
Some
of
the
line
items
have
changed,
and
so
there
are
actually
questions.
We
don't
know
the
answers
to
do.
We
know
that
the
plan
is
is
on
track
and
will
be
effectively
implemented
at
the
scale
that
is
required
and,
of
course
there
are
a
number
of
action
items
in
phase
one
thirty
three,
and
if
we're
really
serious
about
hitting
our
targets
and
again
I'll
back
up
to
that
slide
slide
there
we're
really
going
to
have
to
be
aggressive
in
terms
of
our
implementation.
Here
we
don't
really
have
any
other
options.
C
C
That
is,
that
is
good
news
to
hear
we
don't
see
any
funding
in
2019,
but
we've
been
told
that
that's
that's
that
current
work
there
is
being
covered
by
previous
years
of
budgets,
but
it's
just
a
reminder
again
to
the
committee
that
you
know
we
have
13
major
items
in
the
first
management
period,
and
this
is
the
the
first
of
the
next
well.
Basically,
we
have
two
years
left
after
this
year
to
implement
a
number
of
serious
serious
items
on
the
urban
forest
management
plan.
C
Things
that
we
are
concerned
about
more
broadly,
are
purchase
of
natural
areas.
We
know
that
the
city
typically
devotes
about
$800,000
to
urban
and
rural
areas,
and
we
cannot
identify
this
line
item.
Nor
can
we
identify
one
for
green
feet
which
we
sell
$500,000
are
devoted
to
last
year.
Again,
it
might
be
the
case
that
these
are
under
other
line
items.
C
I
know
that
the
methodology
changes
year
over
year,
but
these
are
questions
that
we
have
given
the
document
before
us
and
then
a
few
things
missing
if
we
wanted
to
be
ambitious,
where
are
the
resources
for
electric
vehicle
infrastructure
investments,
resources
for
expansion
of
green
infrastructure,
that
is
to
say
the
living
and
built
systems
designed
to
slow
down,
soak
up
and
filter
rainwater,
where
it
falls,
help
us
adapt
to
a
changing
climate,
and
where
is
the
climate
resilience
plan?
This
is
something
that
has
been
a
long
promise
plan.
C
We
are
looking
forward
to
seeing
that
in
future
years,
as
we
do
not
see
that
in
this
year
there
are
opportunities,
one
of
which
was
already
mentioned.
If
there
is
already
movement
in
the
direction
of
social
housing,
which
were
very
happy
to
hear,
can
we
make
sure
that
those
investments
are
earmarked
for
best-in-class
energy
efficiency
standards?
Similarly,
with
road
maintenance,
we
know
that
a
lot
of
the
budget
is
going
towards
road
maintenance
and
repair
and
the
certain
extend
expansion.
C
Can
we
consider
green
infrastructure
and
Complete
Streets
as
part
of
those
processes
and
make
sure
that
they're
a
mandatory
piece?
So,
in
conclusion,
our
sense
is
that
the
draft
budget
that
we
see
here
right
now
as
it
stands,
is
inadequate
to
the
scope
and
scale
of
the
climate
crisis.
The
status
of
energy
evolution
remains
somewhat
dubious
and
then
and
too
many
items
are
missing
and
finally,
just
again
a
broader
view
as
to
where
we
are
relative
to
where
we
need
to
be.
C
We
know
that
the
UN
tells
us
we
have
now
11
years
to
really
adapt
and
mitigate
climate
change.
That's
three
terms
of
council
and
we'll
part
way
through
the
first
one,
so
we're
urging
this
committee
to
be
very
ambitious
in
terms
of
its
funding
allocations
for
climate
change
related
investments.
Thank
you.
I.
A
C
You
must
share
first
all
took
one
of
the
questions
my
head,
so
speak.
I
was
gonna,
ask
a
lot
to
share
as
well.
So
that's
great
one
of
the
things
I
just
wanted
to
point
out.
Well,
though,
and
with
the
full
support
of
the
chair,
I'll,
be
introducing
the
motion
this
morning.
That
recommends
that
any
hydro
surplus
in
this
turbine
council,
but
the
full
amount,
goes
towards
energy
and
environmental
projects
within
the
city,
so
I'm
hoping
that
will
pass
and
and
again
full
support
of
the
chair.
So
that
me
answers
some
of
the
questions.
E
Thank
you
and
mr.
chair
and
thank
you
mr.
burns
for
your
presentation.
I.
Just
very
briefly.
There
are
two
new
social
housing
developments
in
my
web
that
opened
recently
both
were
very
energy
efficient.
They
actually
spent
more
than
what
they
had
to
to
realize
that
and
in
Carlington
last
week
we
were
told
that
in
the
42
unit,
low-rise
permanent
building
the
heating
costs
for
the
resident
will
be
$100
a
year.
E
So
it's
good
to
see
that
just
on
I
mean
I
fully
embrace
your
sentiment
of
that
we're
sitting
on
a
ticking
time
bomb
and
no
one's
panicking
I
mean
it's
really
scary,
and
when
we
have
$150,000
invested
in
energy
evolution,
that's
it's
insulting
really
so
I
don't
want
to
put
you
on
the
spot,
but
has
ecology
I'll
admit
with
the
mayor
to
talk
about
more
funding
specifically
to
address
more
initiatives
under
this
umbrella
and
if
so,
what
is
the
outcome
of
that
conversation?
Ben.
C
C
A
D
So
good
morning
it's
a
nice.
Yes,
you
especially
the
new
members
of
council
will
join
this
committee
and
it's
also
very
nice
to
see
other
councillors
taking
an
interest
in
environment.
We
are
not
formally
members
of
the
yeah
committee.
My
presentation
will
be
regarding
the
draft
budget
and
with
excited
lens.
My
name
is
Angela
Kelleher,
tank
and
I'm
here
speaking
on
for
cafes,
the
community
associations
for
environmental
sustainability,
which
is
agreed
with
over
50
community
associations.
D
Now
how
do
I
make
this
go
forward
tomorrow?
We
are
all
right,
and
so
the
question
is
whether
we
are
on
track
and
obviously
the
budget
offers
a
particular
lens
and
to
that
question
and
a
few
points
in
terms
of
setting
the
context
I
think
we're
all
the
war
as
p.m.
expert
supports,
which
occasionally
align
as
great
up
team,
vague
m15
old
activist
puts
it.
D
Recently,
the
financial
sector
is
asking
for
financial
disclosures
with
regard
to
climate
risk
and
liabilities,
insurance
premiums
and
I
suspect
a
the
City
of
Ottawa
all
rising
significantly,
not
just
3%,
but
more.
Like
30
federal
government
infrastructure.
Canada
has
developed,
excitement
lens
project
here
which
measures
climate
impact
both
in
terms
of
emissions
as
well
as
risk
and
utilities.
Around
North
America
are
investing
in
increasing
resilience
and
so
I
guess.
D
Councillor
Elgar
has
left
that
interesting
question
would
be,
would
Hydra
otherwise
doing
to
that
and
whether
there
may
be
a
surplus
after
they
invest
in
upgrades
their
resiliency.
So
my
next
two
slides
show
this
one,
the
overall
and
conclusions
that
we
get
in
the
king
at
the
draft
budget.
We
see
that
this
student
does
not
recognize
that
there
is
a
climate
emergency,
so
there's
no
sense
of
urgency
and
that
climate
deliberations
can't
wait
to
say
the
official
plan
post
2036.
D
So
we
find
that
reaction,
so,
secondly,
we're
seeing
that
the
sea
is
not
using
the
tools
and
powers
at
its
disposal
to
invest
in
climate
solutions,
for
example,
establishing
municipal
Green,
Building
Standards,
helping
residents,
finance
energy,
retrofits,
PLC
transfer,
food
etc.
Some
of
the
issues
that
they
Erickson
and
well
tourism,
and
certainly
we
see
that
the
city
is
not
investing
in
preparedness
and
adaptation
and
in
resiliency
I'd
like
to
raise
three
specific
and
weights,
because
sometimes
action
can
be
commanded
of
the
specific
level
and
that's
really
where
the
devil
is
so.
D
First
of
all
of
the
positive
acknowledgment,
we
very
much
welcome
that.
The
budget
of
the
building
engineering
and
energy
management
unit
has
been
increased
from
one
to
three
million
I
think
that
in
a
longer
time
perspective,
this
will
save
taxpayers
money.
So
that's
a
good
one.
Second
of
all,
we
would
like
to
know
whether
there
are
sufficient
resources
in
draft
batch
of
2019
to
enable
annual
greenhouse
gas
emissions
reporting
for
Ottawa,
the
corporate
and
community.
D
In
our
view,
the
city
and
I
guess,
this
committee
is
not
able
to
manage
emissions
if
we
don't
measure
them,
and
previously
we've
been
told
that
there's
resource
constraint
issues
why
we're
not
able
to
get
annual
reports.
The
third
point
I'd
like
to
raise
invited
national
Rob
Wilson
there
so
specifically
address
that.
We
would
like
to
know
whether
the
draft
budget
2019
contains
sufficient
resources
to
continue
to
deliver
under
33
action
items
of
energy
evolution
phase.
D
One
I
went
through
the
2017
document
that
was
and
provided
to
this
committee,
and
there
was
a
third
column
there,
which
items
required
additional
budget,
so
some
of
the
items
under
I
don't
go
through
all
of
it.
Obviously,
but
the
expansion
of
rebates
for
air
source
heat
pumps
bathing
an
11
megawatt
solar
park
at
toll
a
waste
facility.
So
it's
kind
of
obvious
that
the
scale
of
resources
is
is
a
whole
different
dimension
from
the
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
that
we're
seeing
in
this
budget.
D
C
Eric
thanks
very
much
mr.
chair.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
presentation.
One
of
the
things
that
you
mentioned
was
around
the
energy
evolution
33
action
items
in
the
first
go-around.
We
didn't
actually
put
any
funding
beside
those
those
items
specifically,
so
how
much
would
it
cost
to
have
a
you
know,
store
a
solar
installation
at
a
facility
that
sort
of
thing
in
in
the
next
phase.
Would
you
recommend
that
we
actually
put
dollar
figures
beside
action
items
that
we
can
appropriately
budget
for
these
things
in
the
future?.
D
Absolutely
I
mean
if
you
do
have
I
think
that
it's
it's
quite
a
good
satisfying
format
that
what
we're
seeing
with
with
the
urban
forest
management
plan
and
the
energy
evolution
work
is
strategic
work
and
then
also
the
identification
of
quick
actions
so
that
we're
not
just
driving
an
out
for
like
yet
another
term
of
Council
and
then
where
they
actually
pick
up
action
items.
So
I
think
that
approach
is
good,
but
not
costing
the
budget
items
that
that
is
where
that's
highly
problematic.
This.
C
C
So
I
think
it's
about
two
hundred
eighty
nine
thousand
dollars
that
will
be
carried
forward
as
a
spend
on
energy
evolution
this
year,
I'm
going
to
confirm
that
with
staff
in
the
discussion
portion,
but
it
was
clearly
looked
like
we
understand
Mia,
she
didn't
spend
the
full
amount
that
we
budgeted
for
last
year.
So
even
though
we've
gone
down
we
had
under
spend
in
that
first
year,
so
I
guess
the
question
to
you
would
be.
You
know
you
would
ask
for
1.5
million
dollars
previously.
D
And
just
to
clarify
the
1.5
million:
ask
this
when
ecology,
Ottawa,
not
cafes,
I
I,
think
that
it's
good
to
have
sort
of
a
dimension
of
resources
required,
so
I'm
talking
about
a
billion
or
a
million
or
a
hundred
thousand
like
I.
Think
that
is
useful,
but
I.
Think
a
more
project,
management
and
sort
of
attraction.
D
Oriented
approach
would
be
to
monitor
eight,
the
option,
commitments
to
cost
them
and
then
identify
sources
of
funding.
So,
for
example,
if
there's
a
particular
strategy
and
action
plan
that
has
a
project
that
is
estimated
to
cost
five
million
dollars
of
which
half
of
is
expected
to
come
from
the
province
of
Ontario
is
green
on.
Then
a
decision
should
be
made
whether
the
city
will
provide
that
funding
when
green
on
is
cancelled
or
whether
the
project
will
be
dropped
and
right
now
I'm,
not
seeing
that
kind
of
a
systematic
follow-up
process.
D
I,
don't
think
that
on
the
agenda
at
this
committee,
with
the
annual
updates
on
energy
innovation
phase
one
action
project,
which
means
as
we
transition
from
one
Environment
Committee
to
the
next
Environment
Committee
things
just
kind
of
drop
and
fall
between
the
clocks
and
then
it's
up
to
citizens
that
have
a
special
interest
to
kind
of
revive
and
work
up
the
projects
again.
So
this
is
not
really
an
efficient
approach.
Okay,
thank
you.
E
Brockington
they
have
questions
you
yes,
mr.
chair,
thank
you
just
one
quick
question.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation.
As
always,
what
would
the
net
positive
impact
be
if
Otto
were
to
declare
a
climate
change
emergency?
As
you
know,
I'm
frustrated
with
the
progress
of
this
committee
and
I'm
tired
of
talking?
So
what
do
you
see?
The
advantages
are
of
this
committee
of
the
city
making
that
declaration,
because
the
declaration
doesn't
come
with
a
set
of
action,
so
you're
advocating
for
it
help
me
understand
the
benefits.
E
D
So
if
emergency
was
declared-
and
there
was
a
higher
level
of
urgency,
then
maybe
we
would
also
be
able
to
address
more
clearly
the
the
key
issues
across
committees.
So
it's
an
environment
community,
for
example,
in
at
the
end
of
the
document
on
page
47
of
this
draft
budget,
for
this
Standing
Committee,
there's
five
hundred
thousand
of
unspent
resources
for
defeat.
D
So
if
suddenly,
if
there
was
an
understanding
that
we
urgently
needed
to
act,
I'm
pretty
sure
that
staff
and
all
of
you
would
start
to
find
resources
here
and
there
and
start
saying.
Okay,
we
need
to
do
stuff,
I
mean.
Maybe
there
could
be
a
mayoral
task
force.
Maybe
there
could
be
other
mechanisms
to
move
and
respond
to
an
emergency
status
that
would
be
up
to
your
leadership.
D
I
guess
just
one
small
follow-up
I
think
that
if
there
was
an
emergency,
then
clearly
all
councilors,
and
especially
this
committee-
would
also
be
asking
for
better
and
more
frequent
reporting
and
information.
And
one
of
the
points
that
might
be
the
committee
associations
has
come
to
this
committee
repeatedly
is
that
we
need
data,
we
need
emissions
tracking,
you
need
reporting,
and
one
of
the
questions
in
my
presentation
that
I
think
councilors
are
continued.
D
Have
also
asked
is
whether
there
are
sufficient
resources
for
annual
reporting
and
I
think
that
the
resources
required
are
in
the
neighborhood
of
forty
to
fifty
thousand
dollars,
which
is
livia.
You
might
say,
but
again,
are
we
gonna
get
a
presentation?
Can
stop
two
months
down
the
road
saying?
Oh,
we
don't
have
resources
to
do
annual
reporting
right,
I.
A
C
So
just
I'll
read
out
the
whole
thing
if
you
all
mr.
chair.
So
where
is
phase
one
of
the
evolution?
Ottawa's
community
energy
transition
strategy
was
approved
by
council
7
to
13
2017.
If,
from
the
beginning,
the
strategy
for
auto
one
approved
a
three-year
action
plan
designed
to
manage
energy
consumption,
promote
the
use
of
renewable
energy
and
advance
local
economic
bill
to
knees
in
Ottawa
and
whereas
on
December
13,
2017
Council,
approved
by
way
of
motion
that
City
Council
approved
that
any
surplus
in
the
holiday
dividend
received
in
2018
will
be
reallocated
such
a
two-thirds.
C
So
therefore,
be
it
resolved
with
the
Standing
Committee
on
Environmental,
Protection,
water
and
waste
man--,
but
recommend
the
council
prove
that
any
surplus
in
the
hydro,
Ottawa
B
oven
and
receive
during
the
2018
2020
terminal
Council.
That
is
the
amount
that
the
exceeds
the
projected
amount
in
the
long
range
financial
plan
to
be
directed
towards
energy
efficiency,
conservation
or
renewable
energy
programs
within
Ottawa,
with
specific
product
projects
to
be
recommended
by
staff
and
approved
by
the
Standing
Committee
on
Environmental,
Protection,
water
and
waste
management
and
council.
Once
the
specific
dollar
amount.
If
any
is
known.
C
A
Think
you
so
will
vote
on
that
when
we
go
through
the
budget.
Essentially,
the
idea
is
that
we
did
this
in
for
the
2018
budgets
I
wish
it
was
flipped
around
1/3
went
to
energy
projects.
2/3
went
to
roads
projects
with
the
way
that
the
journal
20
budget
is
drafted
as
well.
Projecting
for
the
rest,
the
cella
council.
A
B
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
chair
back
to
the
budget
presentation
that
you
are.
The
deputy
treasurer
gave
the
amount
very
effective
chair
attached
on
some
of
us,
but
the
amount
that
we
using
for
reserves
put
versus
revenue
to
get
through
this
budget
seem
quite
high,
but
you
mentioned
there's
an
offset
of
what's
going
into
the
reserves.
D
The
the
balance
in
the
water
reserves
is
projected
to
be
at
95
million
waste
water,
63
million
and
storm
water
would
be
a
negative
23
million.
We're
catching
up
on
that
one,
and
what
we're
actually
hoping
to
do
is
probably
disposition
report
is
to
rebalance
those
a
little
bit,
but
in
total
that's
about
120
million
in
reserves.
Now
there's
money
that
comes
in
every
year
as
part
of
the
operating
budget,
160
million
as
a
contribution
to
those
reserves,
and
then
it
goes
out
back
out
to
capital
projects
around
this
similar
amount.
D
B
Resiliency
and
natural
assistance
policy,
it
shows
transfer
grants
and
financial
charges
of
three
hundred
sixty
two
thousand,
which
is
which
is
that,
because
those
are
not
what
I
would
think
would
be
like-minded
charges
here.
Are
they
transfers
grants
or
or
financial
charges
or
a
combination
thereof,
and
what
would
that
rate
be?
If
that's
the
case,
I.
D
C
E
B
E
C
C
Talks
about
the
phase-in
approach,
and
so
when
it
says
the
stormwater,
if
you
will
continue
be
phased
in
for
non
connector
properties
in
2019,
they'll,
be
at
75%,
full
fees
for
the
average
world
single
family
households,
and
then
it
gives
the
breakdown.
That's
the
only
example.
That's
provided.
However,
I
just
want
it
to
confirm
for
the
record
for
the
non
connected
non
will
areas
such
as
Pine
Glen,
Maryville
guidance,
orchard
estates
in
council,
hardest
work,
for
example,
that
even
though
they're
not
referenced
specifically,
that
they
are
still
going
to
benefit
from
the
phased
in
approach.
C
C
One
of
the
one
of
the
delegations
that
we've
listened
Cafe
spoke
about
the
costing
piece
for
energy
evolution
he'll
the
projects
are
listed,
but
the
costing
is
not
necessarily
there
I
wondering
if
you
can
speak
to.
Why
that's
the
case
and
if,
if
you
see
any
that
I
guess
any
benefit,
and
if
there
is
a
benefit,
how
we
would
go
ahead
and
make
sure
that
that
the
costing
is
listed?
Who
of
you
by
both
the
committee
Council
and
also.
E
By
the
public,
so
mr.
chair,
if
I
may,
in
the
phase
2
report,
which
are
bringing
later
this
year,
we
will
revisit
and
report
on
the
status
of
all
the
phase.
1
projects
we
will
add
costing
in
I,
think
it's
an
excellent
suggestion
from
the
delegation
which
we
support
and
we
will
provide
costing
for
the
fades
to
related
projects,
as
well
as
a
series
of
options
for
council
to
understand
what
your
spending
trajectory
might
be
under
the
next
number
of
years.
E
A
D
E
Mister
chair
for
the
reporting
on
any
reporting
on
corporate
emissions.
We
are:
we've
absorbed
that
within
the
cost
of
the
department,
it
will
be
reporting
from
now
on
an
annual
basis
on
the
corporate
emissions.
We
do
not
have
a
2019
proposal
for
community
emissions
and
the
cost
of
that
would
be
approximately
fifty
to
fifty
five
sixty
thousand
dollars,
depending
on
what
the
procurement
now
ultimately
ends
up,
but
that's
the
approximate
estimate-
and
that
is
not
in
the
budget
at
this
stage
because
we
did
not
have
the
resources
to
for
that.
So.
E
Is
correct
if
we,
the
intention
was
we
had
been
doing
on
a
four
year,
frequency
we're
investigating
and
doing
a
reduce
frequency,
and
when
we
report
on
the
air
quality
and
climate
change
master
plan
in
a
couple
of
months
met
with
it's
quarter
to,
we
will
give
you
the
costs
for
additional
frequency
reporting
in
that
and
get
your
direction
at
that
time.
So.
D
E
Correct
we
don't
we
don't
have
the
internal
resources
to
do
that,
so
we
would
be
required
to
use
a
consultant
and
who
estimating
from
what
we
pay
for
last
time
with
likely
inflation
on
that
price.
That's
what
the
number
is,
therefore,
and
we
will
be
seeking
committees
direction
on
that
in
the
quarter
to
report
in.
E
D
E
D
E
Mr.
chair
we've
actually
managed
to
improve
our
staffing
levels
with
using
existing
resources.
The
department,
without
asking
you
for
more
additional
resources,
we've
reallocated
stuff
from
other
areas
of
the
department,
so
we
did
take
one
position
created
one
new
senior
project
manager
position,
which
means
followers
is
here
sitting
next
to
me.
Helping
me
today
in
this
we've
also
managed
to
redeploy
a
new
position
that
is
not
yet
filled
for
project
manager
level
in
the
climate
change
file
and
that,
because
that
does
not
require
additional
resources.
D
Okay,
so
there
is
what,
because,
because
the
climate,
flowers
also
across
departments
and
we've
heard
today
from
simple
to
come
to
the
table,
that
that
that
is
a
concern
that
we're
a
bit
siloed
or
we
can
be
a
bit
silent
and
how
we
look
at
things.
What
is
the?
What
is
the
terms
of
reference
or
that
framework,
the
governance
framework
for
their
staffing
positions
and
what
we're
doing
in
the
work
we're
doing
across
departments?
D
E
Chair
will
you
answer
it
gave.
You
relates
just
to
planning
infrastructure
and
economic
development
and,
as
part
of
a
team,
that's
focused
on
climate
change,
men
and
the
policy-setting
and
the
resiliency
work
which
we
are.
The
resiliency
plan
is
proceeding
this
year.
We
actually
will
be
issuing
an
RFP
within
days
for
the
first
phase
of
that
project,
so
it
is
actually
starting.
The
issue
on
the
interdepartmental
work.
I
can
be
in
a
call
or
monthly
basis
with
department
heads
or
at
least
director
levels
from
the
multiple
departments.
E
Public
works
are
CFS,
Corporate
Services,
who
all
have
a
different
role
in
this
to
do.
Coordination
between
the
various
departments
and
the
treasurer
is
also
looking
at
establishing
a
unit
looking
to
monitor
energy
consumption
spending,
format
of
energy
as
well,
and
that's
a
work
in
progress
and
we'll
be
reporting
light
here
or
not
so.
D
You're
in
discussion
for
use
an
example
with
fleet
and
transit
around
moving
away
from
buses.
They
you
know
they
towards
electric
buses,
the
buses
that
use
you
know
less
mail.
Fossil
fuel
is
that?
How
does
that
work?
I
mean
we're
not
seeing
the
movement
in
our
transit
fleet
towards
electric
buses,
yet
so
how?
How
does
that
work?
Within
the
interdepartmental
governance
around
the
climate
files.
E
So
mr.
chair,
the
counts,
respect
a
very
specific
example
that
I'm
not
in
the
best
position
to
answer,
because
there's
no
infant
transportation
services
here
to
assist
on
this
in
other
areas
that
we
certainly
do
a
great
deal
of
coordination.
So
there's
a
lot
of
work
between
public
works
and
us
the
beam
group
in
our
operations
as
well
as
corporate
services,
the
issue
peon,
sir
I'm
afraid
I
just
can't
answer:
don't
have
the
resources,
but
we'll
get
you
medicinal
information
or
not.
Okay,.
D
You
know
the
exemplar
is
very
specific
to
new
buses.
You
know
moaning
report
back
what
what
does
it
mean
not
to
not
to
move
more
aggressively
towards
an
electric
fleet
of
buses?
What
does
that
do
to
the
results
for
our
GHG
emissions?
So
we've
got,
we've
got
a
few
more
meetings
and
that
we
can
ask
those
questions
again.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
B
D
Pass
through
the
chair,
yes,
we
have
found
as
Kevin
Wylie
suggested.
We
have
been
very
successful
in
marketing
all
of
our
materials
from
our
blue
and
black
box
programs,
and
in
previous
two
years
we
had
extremely
high
higher
than
estimated
saleable
recyclables,
and
one
year
is
two
million
over
the
estimate,
and
the
other
year
is
three
million.
D
Last
year
we
were
short
by
just
under
two
hundred
thousand
or
just
about
two
hundred
thousand
dollars,
so
we
pretty
well
will
on
target
and
the
markets
appear
to
have
stabilized
and
we
are
expecting
status
quo
this
year,
so
basically
the
same
revenues
as
we
received
last
year,
but
we
are
moving
all
of
our
material
and
and
hopefully
the
markets
will
continue
to
rebound.
It's.
E
D
This
year,
as
I'm
sure
you're
all
aware,
we
were
planning
on
adding
plastic
bags
and
dog
feces
to
the
green
bin
program.
We
anticipate
that
this
will
drive
the
participation
in
the
program
currently
about
50%
of
the
households
use
the
green
bin
and
a
quarter
of
the
apartment
buildings
have
access
to
a
green
bin
program.
We
are
trying
to
drive
up
the
participation
by
making
it
more
convenient
and
dealing
with
the
ick
factor.
E
I'm
specifically
looking
to
see
promotion
and
Payne
with
respect
to
green
bin
use,
up
and
above
what
we've
already
done,
thus
far,
because
what
we've
done
thus
far
has
yielded
a
40
percent
success
rate
if
we
can
call
that
a
success
rate.
So
if
you're
getting
new
money,
I'd
like
to
know
what
the
net
plan
will
be
specifically
for
green
bin
and
if
there's
no
specific
plan
identified
yet
and
if
more
resources
are
needed.
E
If
you
could
identify
that
before
we
go
to
council,
because
that's
something
I
think
we
need
to
be
looking
at
in
2019
and
beyond
so
either
I.
Leave
that
with
you
and
we
can
talk
offline,
but
I
do
think.
We've
heard
loud
and
clear
that
our
numbers
are
poor,
we
can
do
better
and
we
need
to
see
an
increase
plan
in
that
regard.
If.
B
I
can
add
the
money
that
mr.
noh
talked
about
was
actually
savings
in
the
green
bin
program,
because
the
putter
pay
was
reduced
upon
signing
of
the
contract.
So
there
was
savings
about
put
aside
for
corporate
or
for
communications
plan.
Our
corporate
communications
partners
have
gone
out
and
done
a
focus
group
that
will
on
participation
in
the
green.
B
E
D
Last
year
we
piloted
50
parks
with
recycling
in
those
parks,
and
we
found
fairly
good
evidence
that
we
could
get
a
clean
waste
stream
or
cream
recyclables
out
of
that
park
and
as
long
as
the
bins
were
co-located
with
garbage
cans.
Right
this
year,
we've
committed
two
kalsa
piloting,
green
bins
in
parks,
so
we'll
be
at
targeting
ten
parks,
not
necessarily
just
dog
parks
that
will
look
at
mini
parks
and
multi-use
parks
as
well,
and
we
will
in
will
again
try
to
play
with
some
parks,
we'll
have
recycling,
co-located
and
others
with
garbage.
D
We
want
to
understand
what
the
contamination
levels
are
in
the
three
different
streams,
so
we
will
be
carrying
out
that
pilot
this
summer.
The
results
of
the
two
pilots
will
then
be
combined,
and
we
will
be
coming
back
to
committee
next
year
likely
with
some
recommendations
on
how
we
could
possibly
would
proceed
so.
D
Based
on
the
current
five,
so
we're
going
to
have
three
streams
every
time
you
pick
up
a
different
stream.
Obviously
the
cost
goes
up
so,
with
the
same
budgeted
out
allocation
that
we
used
last
year,
we're
going
to
try
and
maximize
so
it
may
be
more
than
ten
bucks
likely,
but
it
won't
be.
The
fifty
can.
E
Follow
up
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
have
a
water
rate
much
higher
than
the
rate
of
inflation,
and
we
have
a
set
of
a
plan
for
many
years,
as
we've
been
told
that
our
infrastructures
in
critical
condition-
and
we
had
to
budget
accordingly
because
we
had
to
address
it
in
the
now.
Can
you
confirm
for
me
that
all
water
main
projects
that
are
in
critical
condition
are
either
in
the
design
phase
in
2019
or
construction
phase?
Are
there
any
water
mains
in
critical
condition
not
being
addressed
in
2019.
B
Sure,
when
we
talk
about
criticality,
we're
really
talking
about
visually
are
large
mains
of
service,
large
bulk
segments
of
the
population,
and
we
do
have
an
inspection
program
specifically
to
those
mains.
So
we
do
have
good
information.
I
think
what
you're
referring
to
are.
Basically,
some
of
the
smaller
mains
were
more
distribution
where
there's
been
higher
frequency
of
breaks
and
those
we
monitor
very
closely
and
we
start
to
program
them
for
renewal
when,
basically,
the
is
justified
to
move
it
to
that
level
of
investment
on
these
small
mains
have
appreciate
visually.
B
When
there's
a
water
main
break,
it's
about
$10,000
to
to
repair
it
every
meter
to
replace
is
about
three
thousand.
So
there
is
a
significant
investment
to
be
made
to
a
place
of
main
and
alter.
We
will
looking
at
coordination
opportunities
so
before
we
move
those
areas
to
actually
know,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
investment
is
warranted
and.
E
I
appreciate
that
my
concern
being
a
membranous
committing
councils
that
we
mitigate
risk
to
the
public
as
much
as
possible.
I
know
that
the
main
concern
for
staff
as
well,
but
when
we're
defending
the
rate
increases
within
our
communities
at
least
I
tell
them,
is
we're
trying
to
address
critical
infrastructure
needs.
That
is
the
vast
majority
of
the
increase
of
the
rate,
in
addition
to
inflationary
pressures.
So
you
didn't
say:
yes,
you
didn't
say
no.
E
B
Are
critical
needs
those
needs
are
being
addressed
and
and
you're
correct.
Those
are
what's
been
driving
in
part,
some
of
the
great
increases,
but
those
rate
increases
are
also
to
address
basically
we're
very
capital-intensive
services
and
there
are
significant
investments
that
are
just
required
to
be
visually
sustained.
Those
assets
in
stated
condition
during
the
presentation
we
we
identified
kind
of
a
snapshot
of
the
scale
of
the
type
of
assets
that
we're
dealing
with
their
significant
investments
being
made
at
two
treatment
plants
at
two
public
stations
and
also
among
the
pipe
Network.
E
Mr.
chair
I
have
a
few
more
questions
going
to
keep
going
I'm
not
choosing
to
take
this
invasive
species,
emerald
ash
borer,
and
it
was
just
lost
my
mind
there,
the
plant
that
know
the
ticks
but
invasive
speak
the
back
cause
'as
the
acidic
burn.
What's
a
parsnip
Thank
You
c'n
staff
just
talk
about
first
of
all
invasive
the
emerald
ash
borer
we
have
the
forestry
line
for
planting
I
am
sure
that
some
of
the
tornado
relief
is
part
of
that
budget
increase.
D
Through
the
chair,
so
the
operational
requirements
for
emerald
ash
borer
have
not
yet
come
to
an
end.
We
continue
with.
We
have
ash
injection
programs,
we
start
woodlot
removals
ash
trees
along
wrong
roads
and
remaining
residential
and
street
park
removals.
So
there
is
still
some
work.
That's
continuing
with
the
emerald
ash
borer.
We
did
hit
a
peak
in
2015,
although
our
efforts
were
really
focused
around
treating
me
on
a
dashboard
and
the
trees
that
were
affected
since
that
time.
D
Obviously,
related
maintenance
programs
will
put
to
the
back
layer
we're
now
ramping
it
up
low
maintenance
programs
again,
which
include
tree
pruning.
We
also
as
the
shift
moves
away
from
the
oral
dashboard.
The
commitment
of
the
half
million
trees
through
this
turn
of
counsel
will
be
focusing
some
less
funding
towards
the
planting
of
those
trees,
and
eventually
we
will
be
focusing
funding
to
some
of
the
programs
that
will
be
developed
through
the
of
enforcement
component.
E
Has
any
consideration
been
given
to
assisting
private
homeowners
or
landlords
with
trees
on
their
private
property,
not
on
the
city
right-of-way,
but
if
they
lost
them
specifically
talking
about
tornado
relief
if
they
lost
trees
on
their
property,
we
have
considered
stump
grinding.
This
seems
like
an
exceptional
circumstance.
D
The
chair,
through
city
funding,
we
haven't
yet
considered
a
programming
for
private
residences
because
we
are
working
closely
with
other
organizations,
particularly
tree
Canada.
They
launched
an
operation
relief
program,
I
think
it's
October
or
November
of
last
year.
It's
still
ongoing.
It's
a
sponsorship
program
where
they'll
be
able
to
assist
private
homeowners
with
replanting
efforts
on
their
Lots
for
both
Ottawa
and
Gatineau
area.
That
program
I
believe,
is
going
to
be
closing
at
the
end
of
February.
So
we
should
have
more
information
on
the
funding
that
will
be
available
the
other
pieces.
E
Excellent.
Thank
you
my
last
chair,
my
last
question.
Mr.
chair
is
regarding
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
that's
being
budgeted
for
energy
evolution
can
I
just
get
a
understanding.
How
did
that
specific
number
come
about,
given
the
number
of
initiatives
that
could
be
tackled?
Mr.
cherrick,
so
working
with
finance
department,
we
looked
at
the
amount
of
cash
flow.
We
would
require
to
complete
the
energy
evolution
project
and
bring
the
report
to
Council
at
the
end
of
this
year
at
q4.
This
is
the
amount
of
money
we
require
to
get
to
that
report.
E
That
report,
as
I
indicated,
will
indicate
sort
of
suggested
capital
investments
for
the
future.
This
is
just
related
to
that
number.
The
money
that
we
were
not
we
did
not
need.
We
was
redeployed
the
bean
program
because
we
felt
important
that
it
stay
within
the
climate
change
file.
So
that's
where
some
of
the
additional
resources
we
previously
would
have
had
have
gone
over
to
support
the
increase
in
that
spending
area
and
mr.
chair.
Are
there
not
other
initiatives,
though
that
could
be
tackled
instead
of
waiting
basically
another
year?
E
Is
there
other
initiatives
that
staff
could
identify
with
a
cost
that
we
can
consider
before
we
come
to
council?
Mr.
chair
Dave,
it's
it's
simply
an
issue
of
we're
trying
to
make
this
the
tax
target
set
by
us
by
Council
all
departments
work
collaboratively.
There
is
spent
spending
on
climate
change,
related
issues
that
don't
show
up
in
under
the
energy
evolution
label.
When
we
think
about
the
improvements
of
row
PAC,
we
think
about
building
investments
in
individual
buildings
that
appear
in
the
capital
project.
E
There
might
be,
for
example,
under
the
community
and
Protective
Services
Committee
budget.
It's
just
that
it
doesn't
get
rolled
up
that
way
in
one
budget.
So
it's
not
that
money
is
not
being
spent.
It
is
just
being
spent
on
a
capital
investment
basis,
but
not
it,
but,
albeit
not
towards
those
action
items
that
wish
were
shown
on
the
slide
earlier.
Those
will
require
substantially
larger
amounts
of
money.
That
way
it
was
not
possible
to
finance
this
year.
Mr.
B
Chair
if
I
can
just
add
to
that,
we
we
apply
a
climate
change
lens
to
everything
we
do
when
we
do
renewal.
So,
for
instance,
we've
got
quite
a
bit
of
going
on
in
a
pump
stations.
All
the
lights
are
switched
out
at
the
same
time
for
LED
lights.
So
that's
the
kind
of
thing
that
we
do
on
an
ongoing
basis
and
mr.
Willis
is
quite
quite
correct.
It
does
get
eventually
rolled
up
to
the
overall
plan,
but
it's
not
something
you
would
see
in
a
budget
as
a
day-to-day
item
and.
E
Mr.
Pibb,
chair
with
a
bit
of
patience
additional
point
is
with
the
additional
money
that
council
directed
to
be
put
forward
for
infrastructure
renewal
in
the
initial
years
of
that
renewal
in
this
program
is
a
heavy
emphasis
on
road
road,
surface
renewals,
the
road
resurfacing
program
we
do
contemplate
in
the
in
subsequent
years,
more
of
that
money
going
to
building
inventory
and
that
will
have
a
substantial
climate
change
effect
when
it
goes
into
that
area.
A
Thank
you,
cancer
bargains
interested
just
to
touch
on
there.
Some
of
the
education
I
mean
with
the
agreement
I
think
what's
important,
is
that
we
have
an
opportunity
to
educate
on
a
new
change
in
that
program.
Educating
on
the
existence
of
the
program
after
spin
around
for
10
years.
I'm
not
sure
is
that
effective
I
mean
the
individual
that
brought
that
demanded.
I
go
pick
up
his
green
bin
in
2012
research
surviving
garbage
collection
because
he
refused
to
use
it.
He
doesn't
need
education,
he
doesn't
give.
A
You
know
what
you
don't
going
to
say
about
the
agreement
program
and
that
of
all
of
that
is
because
they
don't
want
to
use
it
the
way
we
ask
them
to
use
it,
they
don't
want
to
use
it
with
a
with
it
with
a
paper
bag.
They
don't
want
to
create
origami
newspaper
in
their
kitchen
in
order
to
use
it
when
we're
trying
to
make
it
easier.
The
other
part
is
the
multi
res
aspect.
A
I
know
Marilyn
mentioned
mats
were
in
25%
of
apartment
buildings,
but
they
have
access
to
it,
but
we
need
to
do
better
on
that
and
education
I,
don't
think,
is
the
way
the
key
to
that
its
availability.
And
how
can
we
do
that?
We
have
a
stakeholders
group
that
works
on
multi
res
I'm,
hoping
to
get
involved
in
that
and
see
how
we
can
advance
that
further.
A
When
we
started
this
in
the
first
place
in
2008,
we
set
a
target
that
we
couldn't
reach,
because
we
didn't
offer
the
program
to
enough
people
to
reach
the
target.
We
we
Fay
by
design.
We
have
to
address
that
going
forward.
We
can't
keep
on
just
hoping
that
we
throw
money
at
education
over
words,
Chancellor
Minard,
thanks.
C
Very
much
share
on
page
28
of
the
tax-supported
budget.
There's
a
line
item
in
there
for
$625,000,
it's
the
largest
one
I
think
for
maintaining
services,
$625,000
slated
to
go
to
Orgaworld
or
nuit
as
a
result
of
the
plastic
bags
in
the
green
bin.
Can
you
explain
that
a
little
more
clearly
so
folks
understand
what
that
is.
B
That
was,
in
the
current
in
the
original
contract
of
some
50
odd,
150,
odd
dollars
down
two
hundred
and
twenty
four
dollars
to
include
Doug
waste
and
plastic
bags
in
the
green
bin
they're
also
for
their
part
offered
to
not
just
you.
So
the
increase
in
tipping
fee
does
include
the
funding
of
some
of
the
processing
that's
necessary
at
the
plant,
but
renew
is
also
putting
in
their
own
money
to
to
do
some
lifecycle
work
and
some
additional
works
at
the
plant
as
well.
B
C
Okay,
thanks
for
that,
yeah
I'm
aware
that
Orgaworld
is
increasing
or
annuities
increasing
their
the
amount
of
money
that
they're
spending
on
their
own
side
to
sort
and
to
add
some
more
infrastructure,
they're
they're
spending
quite
a
bit
on
that
not
all,
obviously
not
related
to
not
all
related
to
the
plastic
bags.
So
with
the
six
hundred
twenty
five
thousand
for
the
world
in
a
plastic
bags.
What
are
we
spending
on
education?
I
didn't
get
a
clear
answer:
it
was
a
250
thousand.
C
B
Unfortunately,
I
don't
have
the
actual
funds
in
front
of
me
and,
unfortunately,
I,
don't
think
anybody's
here
from
corporate
palms.
But
my
recollection
is
we
were
we
were
earmarking.
The
savings,
as
I
said
from
last
year,
of
about
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
focus
groups
and
preparation
of
materials,
and
that
we
do
have
an
ongoing
communications
budget
of
around
250,000
dollars.
That
will
be
putting
directly
to
start
up
with
of
the
program.
Okay,.
C
Thanks
for
that,
I
mean
I'm,
going
to
be
tabeling
a
motion
or
giving
notice
of
motion
I
guess
here
today
to
hold
off
on
putting
plastic
bags
in
the
green
bin
until
we
have
some
studies
that
we've
been
commissioned
to
do,
which
will
come
at
the
end
of
this
meeting.
A
small
table
that
give
notification
for
that
today.
Many
other
things
I
wanted
to
touch
on
was
energy
evolution
in
in
the
budget.
It's
down
$150,000,
but
on
page
34,
there's
also
a
$289,000
item
on
spending
on
the
spending
plan.
C
E
Mr.
chair
I'm,
going
to
have
to
ask
the
counselors
and
dalton's
will
get
you
that
answer
shortly.
I
can't
determine
from
the
information
I
have
in
front
of
me
if
the
total
amount
is
289,
because
we
have
carryover
unspent
funds
from
2018
or
whether
this
is
additional
on
top
I
know.
The
answer
is
we
needed
150
additional
to
get
to
the
end
of
the
energy
evolution
report
and
and
that's
what
it
does.
E
C
B
C
So
we
have-
we
haven't
done
finished
that
yet,
but
we
are
in
the
budget
recommending
I
think
a
seven
point.
Four
million
dollars
spend
on
a
new
code,
ruko
generation
at
at
row,
Peck
the
reason
the
reason
I
raise
this
is
there
may
be
some
risks
associated
with
going
ahead
with
that
particular
item,
particularly
when
we
could
actually
lower
our
potential
emissions
ends
and
save
money
by
completing
that
study
and
looking
at
renewable
natural
gas
as
an
output
in
RO
pack,
and
so
7.4
million
is,
is
a
big
spend.
C
B
Well,
currently,
we
have
engines
that
will
Peck
that
a
well
past
the
end
of
life,
so
that's
a
risk
to
the
corporation
and
would
require
us
to
go
back
on
the
grid
fully
for
OPEC,
which
is
probably
one
of
the
biggest
energy
users
that
we
have.
Also.
We
have
a
lost
opportunity
because
we
are
flaring
us
at
the
plant
as
well,
so
the
co
gent
project
is
not
just
going
to
replace
the
end
of
life
gap
engines
but
also
will
add
engines
to
make
ro
Peck
fully
fully
off
the
grid.
B
B
The
last
piece
is
we
were,
and
we
still
are
in
discussions
with
Enbridge
about
some
kind
of
arrangement
at
role
Peck,
but
with
the
change
in
the
provincial
government,
those
those
discussions
stalled
almost
who
belt
also
I'm,
not
sure
if
there's,
even
even
if
we
were
to
make
a
decision
about
role.
Peck,
if
there
would
be
any
way
to
and.
C
I
think
the
concern
is
you
don't
want
to
spend
this
money
now
to
have
something
come
back
that
the
study
tells
us
later?
Actually,
we
should
be
using
this
for
renewal,
renewable
natural
gas,
as
inputs
or
for
residents,
and
so
I
also
notice
that
at
q2
in
our
in
our
discussions
and
Environment
Committee
here
we
have
a
cogeneration
plant
update
then
so,
after
after
the
budget,
and
so
and
I
mean
the
the
biogas
study
that
was
in
energy
evolution,
I
think
if
I
reading
materials
correctly
was
directly
related
to
row
pack.
B
C
Yeah,
it
would
be
good
to
discuss
it
and
I
just
want
to
be
clear:
I'm
not
worried
about
us
earmarking,
some
funds
to
have
an
upgrade
at
that
facility.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
not
upgrading
the
facility
was
something
that
we
say:
hey
the
recommendations,
action
that
we
do
this
instead,
but
we're
going
ahead
with
that.
So
in
the
budget
it
states
the
7.4
million.
A
D
Thank
you.
My
question
has
to
do
with
staffing,
because
staffing
salaries
and
benefits
is
one
of
the
big
line
items
on
any
budget.
I
do
have
a
question
about
the
operating
resource
requirements
underneath
the
I
think
it's
the
rate
supported
or
the
tax
supported
budget
is
calling
for
seven
full-time
equivalents.
I
understand
mr.
Willis,
you
were
explaining
when
Katherine
was
asking
about
I.
Think,
though,
is
it
the
climate
change?
Can
you
just
explain
the
seven
full-time
equivalents
here?
Certainly.
E
So
by
spending
more,
we
actually
need
stuff
to
deliver
that
increased
capital
program
and
then
business
analysts
for
project
management
systems,
which
is
one
of
the
requirements
coming
out
of
the
audit.
These
were
issues
that
were
identified
in
previous
years
and
council.
We
have
said
previous
council
directions
on
this
and
we
finally
had
the
staff
keepeth
the
ability
to
resource
these
things.
We
were
previously
directed
to
do
overall.
E
So
for
planning
infrastructure
and
economic
development,
the
increased
staffing
levels
are
only
seven
more
for
the
entire
department.
All
of
the
rest
of
the
things
we're
doing
are
within
the
existing
staff
complements
previously
approved
by
council.
We're
just
redeploying
people
to
areas
of
priority.
Okay,.
E
And
then
ask
the
clerks
assistant
on
this
I
think
your
mandate
is,
we
require
your
approval
of
both
the
budget
and
and
the
council
has
previously
set
limits
on
FTE
counts
in
collect.
Clerks
can
select
me
if
I'm
wrong
on
this.
So
if
we're
increasing
our
compliment,
that's
what
we
require
your
approval.
Okay,.
D
Has
anyone
ever
considered
I
will
I
actually
will
not
ask
that
question
here.
Thank
you.
Just
one
other
question,
though,
on
the
climate
change.
One
of
the
things
that
I
think
we
really
haven't
discussed
is
one
of
the
impacts
of
climate
changes,
we're
seeing
an
increase
in
the
tics
center,
causing
Lyme
disease
and
always
now
identified
as
a
hotspot,
and
it's
actually
much
more
of
a
problem
than
the
parsnip.
Are
we
talking
at
all
about
mitigating
this
problem?
I
mean
woodchip,
putting
wood
chips
down
along
paths,
and
things
like
that
actually
can
make
a
difference.
D
E
Mr.
chair
we're
just
looking
to
each
other's
who
is
the
best
position
to
do
it.
I
know:
Ottawa
Public
Health
is
dealing
with
a
program
related
to
public
awareness
at
ticks
and
how
to
management.
That's
a
high
focus
when
the
invasion
of
this
invasive
species
is
as
widespread
as
it
is
our
experience
with
other
invasive
species.
Is
it's
unlikely
you're
going
to
make
it
go
away?
D
E
Mr.
chair,
since
I'm,
not
the
subject-matter
expert
on
this-
and
it
is
in
our
department,
my
suggestions,
we
take
the
councillors
inquiry
and
we
get
you
information
either
through
a
memo
to
Council
or
a
briefing
from
Ottawa
Public
Health
enough
colleagues
and
Recreation
who
do
do
the
management
of
the
trails
and
pathways
and
we'll
get
you
additional
information.
I
just
don't
have
that
I'm,
not
the
expert
on
I.
Don't
have
that.
A
A
C
As
well,
otherwise,
the
charity
boils
on
the
public
health.
So
mr.
Willis
is
quite
right
that
there's
there's
going
to
be
enhanced.
Outreach
education,
outreach
program
going
forward
this
year
with
the
number
of
new
components
over
what
we've
done
previously,
but
I'm
happy
to
reach
out
to
the
appropriate
staff
at
Public
Health,
and
they
can
set
up
meeting
with
you
and
run
through
the
steps
we're
going
to
be
taking
thanks.
A
Thank
you
just
on
the
staff
and
I'm
not
sure
where
you're
going
exactly
with
the
staffing
thing.
I
know
people
talk
about
staff,
they
talk
about
the
Met
ammonia
that
we
spend
on
staffing
at
the
City
of
Ottawa.
They
try
to
compare
us
to
some
private
business.
They
it's
a
ludicrous
assessment.
I
mean
we've
actually
reduced
staffing
contingent,
the
City
of
Ottawa
annually
since
2012
between
2007
2011,
we
increased
it
by
those
are
the
0
means
ears
increase
divided
by
1000
of
2000
positions.
That's
when
the
city
was
run
by
someone
who
ran
a
business.
A
Since
then
it's
gone
down
every
single
year
we
reduced
the
by
3
our
positions
back
in
2016
to
annual
savings
million
dollars.
You
can
only
do
that
so
much.
We
run
as
a
customer
service
driven
business.
Any
customer
service
driven
business
has
at
least
50%
staff.
You
don't
go
to
a
restaurant
and
say
wow.
There's
too
many
servers
doing
bartenders
here.
You
need
them
to
provide
the
service
to
you.
A
So
any
notion
that
the
city
should
be
spending
less
than
50
to
60
percent
on
staff
would
be
a
city
that
doesn't
provide
service
to
us
Christians.
So
I've
never
understood
that
that
comparison,
but
I
do
hear
from
time
to
time
that
we
were
hiring
too
many
people.
We
need
these
people
to
run
the
services
that
we
need
at
the
city.
I
do
have
any
other
questions
for
staff.
I
had
a
list
here.
What
we've
gone
through,
it's
done
so
I
think
any
question
I
would
address
by
members
of
the
committee.
A
A
So
in
in
the
budgets,
but
eight
pages
worth
of
Koval
replacements
that
directly
come
from
stormwater
services,
we
talked
to
we
heard
councillor
I
if
I
speak
about
the
phase-in
of
the
stormwater
fee
that
we
approved
two
years
ago
and
it's
in
its
third
year
in
2019
news
very
controversial
is
45,000
people
that
weren't
previously
paying
for
stormwater
in
their
taxes,
we
introduced
the
fee
that
that's
allowed,
that
30,000
are
in
the
rural
area.
There's
always
a
concern
about
how
that
fee
goes
up.
We
had
a
report
last
year
that
projected
a
30%
increase.
A
Last
year
we
lowered
that
to
about
6%
this
year
was
projected
to
be
13%
again.
The
budget
in
front
of
us
is
actually
a
10.8%
us
of
motion
here.
That
will
reduce
that
slightly
further,
so
just
read
it
out
so,
whereas
on
February,
19th,
2019,
the
environment,
protection,
water
and
waste
management
committee
is
considering
the
draft
and
20
weight
supported
services,
operating
capital
budgets
and
whereas
storm
water
services
budget
includes
overall
revenue
increase
of
13%
cover
the
cost
of
the
full
capital
and
operating
stormwater
services
program,
as
approved
in
the
long
range
financial
plan.
A
For
rate
support
services
and
whereas
the
recommended
30%
revenue
increased
to
cover
the
cost,
certain
cover
program
cost
will
result
in
increase
of
10.8%
for
stormwater
rate
payers.
Aware
of
staff
have
advised
that
a
1%
reduction
in
the
stormwater
rates
could
be
achieved.
The
stormwater
services
budget
was
reduced
by
four
and
ten
thousand
dollars
the,
where
staff
has
advised
that
a
reduction
of
four
and
$10,000
in
the
overall
stormwater
capital
program
could
be
a
comedy
without
a
major
impact.
A
Let
that
change
so
essentially
what
this
really
means
is
that
knife
or
a
percent,
is
like
four
dollars.
It's
a
very
small
amount.
It's
really
a
principle
of
the
increase
from
what
we
had
sold
the
residence
two
years
ago.
When
we
were
introduced
in
the
fee.
In
the
first
place
we
had
a
phase
in
for
a
reason.
It
was
phased
in
to
get
used
to
the
fact
that
you're
paying
for
something
that
you
hadn't
previously
been.
A
It
still
benefits
the
rural
area
to
a
great
degree,
I
mentioned
its
page
76
in
the
weight
budget.
Twelve
point:
seven
million
dollars
worth
of
culverts
being
renewed,
primarily
in
wards,
nineteen,
twenty
twenty
one
and
five.
That's
the
for
world
wards.
The
total
amount
collected
by
that
stormwater
fee
in
the
Royal
area
last
year
is
a
million
dollars.
A
So
for
urban
residents,
don't
do
the
math
on
that
for
little
residents
do
the
math.
It
actually
benefits
you
greatly
in
terms
of
what
we
get
from
that
fee
for
we're
paying
for
versus
the
the
impact,
for
instance,
a
lot
of
the
projects
that
we
see
coming
at
a
transportation
budget
in
order
to
renew
our
roads.
The
biggest
thing
that
we're
all
residents
talk
about
is
roads.
Please
remove
the
roads.
What
we
do
for
doing,
every
single
borders.
We
go
in
and
replace
all
the
culverts,
the
coverts
compared
to
this
projects,
so
River
Road.
A
First,
since
in
councilor,
jurors,
Ward's
out
the
Roger
Stevens
is
slated
to
be
renewed
next
year
this
year
we
go
in
to
replace
five
culprits,
whether
the
stormwater
fee,
or
that
the
budget
associated
with
that
stormwater,
be
we
home
to
face
those
culverts.
You
don't
get
your
new
road.
The
reality
is,
we
have
the
two.
A
We
have
the
two
here
that
they
work
together
these
two
budgets,
but
they
they
are
separate
for
a
reason,
but
we
do
require
this
medicine
fortunate,
the
way
that
the
budget
was
set
up
for
15
years
and
that
it
was
wrong
and
that
it
should
never
happen
that
way
for
post
amalgamation.
But
we
are
here
today
so
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
forward.
It
does
bring
it
down
below
a
double-digit
increase.
A
We
have
a
report
I
think
this
year
to
talk
more,
but
where
we
go
with
stormwater
infrastructure
in
the
long
range
financial
plan
on
its
long-range
potential
client,
six
we
got
coming
up.
Yes,
so
we're
going
to
talk
about
that
a
bit
more
I
just
want
to
put
that
forward
on
the
floor,
we'll
deal
with
that
when
we
go
through
the
the
budget
approval
in
the
roadmap.
Any
questions
on
Matt's
on
that
set
motion,
counselors.
B
At
Collin,
thank
you
very
much,
sir
I
know
that
we'll
be
working
hard
on
that
file.
But
since
you
have
been
changing
the
names
of
this
committee-
and
you
were
able
to
achieve
that,
I
think
will
be
very
wise
for
us
to
change
the
way
of
that.
That's
the
stormwater
fee
on
those
bills
to
really
what
we
do
in
a
rural
area.
You
change
culvert
and
that's
basically
what
you
do,
but
you
do
not
show
and
demonstrate
for
the
resident
what
you
do
with
that
money.
B
When
you
tell
them
stormwater
that
is
so
major
confusion
between
changing
culvert
and
their
main
ways.
We
call
it
the
private
approach
all
and
the
regular
caller
that
I
come
from
the
or
Department.
So
we
are,
and
then
you
have
the
municipal
drain.
There
is
so
many
confusion
already
in
the
river
area,
where
we
actually
collect
user
fee
and
rates
and
I
think
this
is
me
to
be
a
dress.
That's
just
from
there
is
important
is
to
talk.
A
A
It
would
further
ask
the
confusions
the
way
we
listed
in
the
budget
as
being
world
non-connected
urban
non-connected
not
connected
to
what,
because
how
the
rain
falls
on
your
property,
doesn't
impact
how
you
flush
your
toilet,
so
who
cares
well
I'm
connected
to
water
and
sewer?
Who
cares
when
connected
to
well
and
septic
being
connected
to
something
has
nothing
to
do
with
stormwater,
so
yeah
we
done
a
poor
job
of
explaining
this
to
residents.
I
still
get
the
emails
when's
the
city
going
to
come
and
maintain
my
septic
system.
A
We're
never
going
to
maintain
your
subsystem
whatever
going
to
charge
you
to
maintain
your
service
system,
because
it's
yours,
not
ours.
It's
is
this
constant
mistake
in
how
we
associate
stormwater
to
the
rest
of
our
weight
budget.
Is
this
causes
constant
confusion
on
the
stormwater
fee?
The
name
of
it
how
you
can
address
that
better
on
the
tax
bill,
I'm,
not
sure,
because
it
does
pay
for
more
than
just
culverts.
A
It
pays
for
stormwater
ponds
apiece
for
different
things
in
the
urban
area,
as
well
as
the
rural
area,
I
mean
one
of
the
biggest
issues
for
years
was
that
parking
lots
would
pay
zero.
You
know
we
have
these
mass
parking
lots
in
the
urban
area.
It
would
be
absolutely
zero
towards
stormwater.
Yet
it's
a
hundred
percent
runoff,
so
they're
now
paying
this
stormwater
fee
as
well.
I
mean
look
in
the
book
in
the
Iceni
session
of
this
of
this
report.
They
pay.
They
pay
quite
a
bit.
A
How
we
can
address
that
better
and
show
up
on
tax
bill
to
make
it
more
obvious
to
essence
what
they're
paying
for
I
don't
know
it
could
take
it
further
discussion
and
we
can
talk
with
that.
I
know.
The
stormwater
fee
is
a
four-letter
word
in
the
earlier,
but
we'll
maybe
we
can.
We
know
work
on
that
and
dress
it
better,
going
forward.
I
think.
E
You
mr.
chair
just
a
question,
something
you
talked
about,
that
that
will
perhaps
weigh
me
to
supporting
us,
and
that
was
when
the
consultations
were
happening
in
various
world
communities.
Were
residents
told
that
the
rate
would
be
capped
at
a
certain
level?
Are
you
trying
to
get
it
down
below
a
certain
threshold
based
on
what
was
communicated
to
people?
Just
so
I
can
understand
this
a
bit
better.
So.
A
A
A
So
since
someone
like
myself,
doesn't
pay
for
water
and
sewer
I,
don't
have
that
blended
rate,
so
I
have
the
higher
percentage
she's
trying
to
bring
it
back
in
to
a
point
where
residents
expected
it
to
be,
which
is
in
that
five
to
six
percent
range.
Obviously
we're
not
there,
but
it's
closer
to
you,
and
yet
we
still
get
the
benefit
of
what
what
the
rate
is
supposed
to
achieve
and
what
the
budget
does.
Okay,.

Is

Okay?
So
we're

fantastic?
Alright,
so
we've
on
set
item
6,
which
was
oh
sorry.
This
is
the
dividend.
Motion
story,
there's
also
the
motion
from
Council
area
move
forward
on
the
be
Hydra
dividend
which
would
look
to
contribute
to
put
any
sort
of
surplus
from
the
Hydra
dividend
toward
energy
evolution
and
renewable
sort
of
energy
projects
within
can
use
many
for
this
determine
council
as
item
Carrie,
Carrie
Carrie.
Thank
you.
Alright.
A
A
We
have
Lila,
Gibbons
and
month
the
copes
leak
here
to
present
to
us
on
that
item.
This
was
again.
This
was
a
report
that
was
asked
for
from
the
previous
tournament
Council
and
instead
of
just
jamming
it
into
the
IP
DS
I
figured
we'd.
Actually,
you
know
get
a
presentation
or
Geraldine
Wildman's
joining
as
well
hole
shelving.
A
D
All
right,
thank
you
so
much.
My
name
is
Martha
coke
sake,
I'm,
a
forester
in
the
natural
systems
in
rural
affair,
group
of
planning
infrastructure
and
economic
development,
so
in
June,
2017
Council
approved
ottawa's,
first
urban
forest
management
plan,
and
at
that
time
staff
were
directed
to
report
back
to
the
new
committee
and
Council
on
the
implementation
of
the
plan
and
next
steps
in
q1
2019.
So
here
we
are:
we've
prepared
a
memo
and
IPD
as
the
councillor
Moffitt
indicated,
and
this
short
presentation
will
just
summarize
the
memo
before
you.
D
Okay,
so
putting
down
roots
for
the
future
is
Ottawa's
20
year
strategic
urban
forest
management
plan.
It
shapes
the
management
of
Ottawa's
urban
forests
from
twenty
eighteen
to
twenty
thirty
seven.
The
plan
includes
26
recommendations.
Basically
our
action
plan
moving
forward
to
be
implemented
within
the
first
eight
years
of
the
plan.
The
plan
provides
guidance
to
achieve
urban
forest
sustainability
in
Ottawa,
and
it
supports
the
community's
commitment
to
a
continued
and
improved
stewardship
of
our
urban
forests.
D
The
UF
MP
will
be
implemented
jointly
by
the
natural
systems
and
royal
affairs
group
in
pide
and
the
forest
management
unit
in
Public
Works.
So
we've
begun
work
on
the
UF
MP
recommendations.
We're
now
about
one
year
in
and
I'll
briefly
go
over
what
we've
been
working
on,
so
we're
currently
doing
a
comprehensive
review
of
the
city's
tree
by
eyes
that
includes
the
urban
tree
conservation,
bylaw
for
privately
owned
trees
and
the
municipal
trees
and
natural
areas,
protection
by
law
for
city-owned
trees.
D
This
project
will
also
include
does
also
include
investigating
the
applicability
of
a
heritage
tree
by
law
or
a
heritage
tree
program
for
Ottawa,
also
developing
citywide
tree
compensation
guidelines.
Formalizing
incentives
for
tree
conservation,
moving
forward
staff
in
forestry
have
just
completed
a
meeting
maintenance
strategy
for
city-owned
wood,
lots
and
forested
areas.
So
this
is
our
forested
areas.
D
Maintenance
strategy,
we're
also
working
on
an
urban
forest
canopy
cover
study
which
we're
doing
in
partnership
with
the
NCC
in
the
city
of
Gatineau,
and
the
first
phase
of
this
project
will
soon
be
complete
and
will
actually
be
presented
in
April
at
the
NCC
capital
urbanism
lab.
At
an
event.
There
we've
also
completed
the
guidelines
to
implement
the
city's
new,
significant
woodlands
policies,
and
these
guidelines
will
be
going
to
planning
committee
on
February.
28Th
staff
have
been
working
also
on
improving
the
process
for
the
city,
assumption
of
trees
and
new
developments.
D
So
this
this
basically
will
ensure
that
newly
planted
trees
and
new
subdivisions
are
added
into
the
city's
tree
inventory
in
a
more
timely
manner
and
therefore
become
a
part
of
the
city's
treatment
maintenance
program
in
a
more
timely
manner.
And
finally,
we're
also
doing
work
on
expanding
awareness
about
the
value
of
the
open
forest
internally
through
outreach
and
engagement,
so
moving
forward
along
with
completing
the
projects
that
I
just
described.
D
These
are
some
of
the
items
that
are
forecasted
for
a
near-term
work
plan,
so
the
first
one
established
internal
and
external
urban
forestry
working
groups
to
facilitate
communication
on
urban
forestry
issues,
develop
a
forest
inventory
collection
and
maintenance
plan,
expand
urban
for
stewardship
and
develop
an
outreach
and
engagement
strategy
on
on
on
stewardship,
develop
new
and
update
what
we'll
be
developing
new
and
updating
existing
guidelines
for
tree
planting.
So
this
will
include
specific
guidelines
for
tree
planting
in
existing
urban
conditions,
tree
planting
in
hard
scape
scenarios
and
also
tree
planting
in
green
filled
areas.
D
Thank
You
mr.
chair
Thank,
You
counselors
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
on
the
urban
forest
management
plan.
I
represent
the
trees
and
green
space
focus
of
community
associations
for
environmental
sustainability.
It
comprises
about
50
community
associations
across
the
city
in
all
areas,
not
disturbin,
suburban
role,
etc.
D
Café's
was
engaged
extensively
in
the
consultations
leading
up
to
the
u.s.
MP
members
are
deeply
committed
to
seeing
it
come
to
full
fruition.
Much
of
the
work
of
the
UMP
is
in
the
first
four
years,
reflecting
our
wish
and
that
of
the
city
to
Paul
now
to
ensure
a
strong
and
expansive
tree
canopy
for
the
next
generation,
along
with
my
colleague,
Dan
Lee.
D
Buckles
I
also
represent
the
café's
interests
on
the
external
stakeholder
group
for
the
tree
by
law
review
in
this
capacity
daniel
and
I
recently
participated
in
meetings
with
senior
staff,
including
stephen
Willis
and
two
city
councillors.
We
were
impressed
by
their
dedication
and
openness,
but,
like
our
colleagues
at
ecology,
Agua
cafes
members
are
concerned
that
the
UF
MP
is
at
risk.
D
Despite
staff
assurances,
the
EFMP
is
clearly
locked
on
track
due
the
significant
delays
in
the
tree
by
our
view
and
the
best
practices
guidelines.
The
by
our
review
has
been
delayed
by
a
year
originally
planned
for
completion
in
spring
2019.
It
will
now
be
in
2020
the
best
practices
guidelines
for
tree
planting
and
establishment
are
nowhere
near
completion
with
small-scale
pilot
projects
just
beginning.
These
are
the
delays
we
know
about.
Are
the
others?
D
Numerous
comments
in
the
summary
of
the
ump
recommendations
by
city
staff?
Note
that
additional
resources
are
required
or
additional
resources
may
be
required.
This
suggests
a
serious
impending
problem
with
delivery
of
the
plan,
exactly
how
much
additional
resourcing
is
required
if
there
is
a
serious
intent
to
deliver-
and
this
really
is
a
priority,
then
why
does
the
draft
budget
not
have
provision
for
new
FMP
implementation?
D
We
recommend
that
this
committee
direct
staff
to
provide
an
estimate
of
additional
budgetary
requirements
on
a
portal
available
basis
for
each
recommendation
of
the
first
management
period
of
the
FMP.
We
urge
that
this
committee
asked
for
this
within
one
month
in
order
that
required
resources
can
become
part
of
the
strategic
initiatives
purchase
funding
of
the
term
of
council
priorities
process.
We
know
that
the
value
of
trees
is
understood
at
the
highest
levels
of
city
administration
in
January.
In
his
State
of
the
City
address
mayor
Watson
made
special
mention
of
trees.
D
Cafes
members
are
pleased
to
see
the
mayor's
commitment
to
plant
500,000
trees
over
the
term
of
council,
focusing
initially
on
communities
hardest
hit
by
the
tornados
of
last
September.
We
also
appreciate
the
mayor's
proposal
to
triple
the
penalties
for
tree
renewals
to
avoid
what
he
termed
oops
moments.
As
the
mayor
suggests.
Trees
are
a
critical
part
of
our
infrastructure.
A
key
element
of
our
efforts
against
climate
change
and
permitting
them
to
fall
prey
to
oops
moments
is
foolish
and
wasteful.
D
The
first
factor
is,
as
mayor
Watson
stated,
that
trees
are
lost
to
development,
sometimes
there's
no
choice
but
to
remove
one
tree
or
many,
but
all
too
often,
trees
are
removed,
because
it
is
the
easy
path
to
construction
without
consideration.
Two
options
can
allow
the
tree
to
stand
or
even
to
enhance
the
building
project.
Tree
loss
in
the
urban
area
continues
at
a
rapid
pace,
underlining
the
sustainability
and
livability
of
the
city
and
costing
residents
in
the
city,
possibly
millions
in
lost
environmental
services.
D
This
is
why
we
urgently
need
revised
bylaws
that
take
into
account
the
environmental
and
sustainability
role
of
trees.
They're,
not
just
pretty
not
just
something
that
it's
nice
to
have.
The
second
factor
is
poor
planting
and
establishment
practices.
We
desperately
need
best
practice,
planting
guidelines
in
planting
the
500,000
saplings
we're
making
a
substantial
investment
that
investment
will
yield
huge
returns,
but
only
if
we
do
it
right
to
ensure
the
survival
of
those
trees
or
in
a
climate
change
emergency,
and
you
need
to
take
emergency
measures.
The
longer
the
review
takes.
D
Therefore,
on
behalf
of
kathas
I
urge
you
to
provide
additional
resources
to
you,
FMP
implementation,
in
the
order
of
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
support
at
least
one
new
staff
position
this
year.
This
position
should
be
assigned
to
assist
in
accelerating
the
review
process
and
moving
forward
urgently
the
development
of
best
practice,
planting
and
establishment
guidelines.
D
Lastly,
lastly,
we
are
concerned
that
the
update
document
proposes
to
next
update
this
committee
and
the
public
on
process
in
2022.
That
is
30
years
from
now.
We
ask
that
this
committee
direct
staff
to
provide
annual
updates
so
that
you
can
ensure
that
the
implementation
of
the
FMP
really
is
on
track.
We
also
urge
that
implementation
updates
be
provided
as
items
for
discussion
and
subject
to
comment
from
public
delegations
by
active
citizenry.
A
C
Just
summoner's
very
quickly,
thanks
thanks
very
much
sure.
We've
we've
met
on
this
issue
and
had
a
good
opportunity
to
have
a
discussion
you're
asking
for
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
fund
at
least
the
one
FTE
to
start
to
implement
this.
That
seems
very
reasonable
to
me.
I
think
in
the
past,
you've
made
some
suggestions
about
where
that
could
come
from
things
like
you
know,
charging
more
for
taking
trees
down
in
terms
of
the
permitting
system.
Are
there
ideas
that
you
have
in
terms
of
where
that
funding
could
come
from.
D
There
is
provision
in
the
current
viola
to
take
those
fees
up
a
notch,
maybe
not
triple
I.
Think
that
consideration
and
my
colleagues
from
there
the
staff
and
I
want
to
reiterate
that
the
staff
are
fabulous
and
committed
and
are
working
really
hard
there.
Just
isn't
enough
of
them.
There
just
aren't
enough
people
doing
this,
so
I
think
that
there
is
a
provision
there
within
and
if
the
current
violas
could
be
in
a
more
stringent
and
enforced.
It's
in
the
UFM
Peters
to
talk
about
boots
on
the
ground.
D
We
don't
have
the
boots
on
the
ground.
Did
you
know
that,
for
example,
if
someone
spots
a
unable
or
developer
cutting
down
a
tree
and
it's
a
weekend
and
the
general
manager
is
not
available
to
come
over
in
and
issue
a
requirement,
you
stop
now
it
doesn't
happen.
You
know,
there's
just
there's
just
not
enough
people
to
go.
Do
those
things.
A
C
Alright,
thank
you
very
much
for
this
opportunity.
I
guess
I'll
start
from
the
top
go
to
my
notes.
I,
so
hidden
harvest
is
a
project
of
tides,
Canada
shared
platform,
and
our
mission
is
that
we
want
to
live
in
a
food
tree
friendly
city,
where
everyone
is
empowered
to
access
share
and
make
full
use
of
the
food
nuts
growing.
In
plain
sight.
C
We're
here
today
to
speak
to
the
importance
of
providing
the
resources
required
to
achieve
the
recommendations
of
the
urban
forest
management
plan.
City
staff
and
stakeholders
such
as
us
have
invested
a
lot
of
time,
thought
and
resources
towards
developing
these
recommendations
and
actions.
There's
a
lot
of
great
actions
planned
for
the
first
management
period
over
this
term.
The
council
and
some
of
the
actions
don't
even
require
a
lot
of
money
like
like
recommendation
number
two
creating
some
urban
forestry
working
groups,
both
internal
and
external
there's,
an
old
saying
sort
of
relates
to
this
best
time.
C
To
start,
an
external
urban
forestry
working
group
was
20
years
ago.
The
second
best
time
to
start
an
external
urban
forestry
working
group
is
today
I.
Think
there's
a
Chinese
proverb
or
something
like
that,
but
first
a
bit
more
on
us
so
show
of
hands
how
many
people
here
have
heard
of
picking
a
hidden
harvest.
You
can
make
a
picking
motion
like
off
season.
That's
great!
There's
some
people
back
there
offseason
is
a
great
time
to
do
some
exercises
in
calisthenics,
so
that's
good,
so
I
can
make
the
presentation
shorter.
That's
awesome!
C
Basically,
if
you
saw
us
on
the
street,
this
is
us
it's
a
group
of
4
to
5
volunteers,
meeting
under
the
shade
of
a
tree
for
an
hour
to
to
pick
sort
and
share
fruit
and
nuts
and
for
the
benefit
of
the
new
council
members
and
the
new
people
on
the
gallery
that
haven't
heard
of
us
before.
It's
not
just
apples
and
pears,
we're
also
harvesting
and
sharing
service.
Berries,
cherries,
plums,
grapes,
apricots
elderberries,
hazelnut
walnuts
that
list
goes
on
is
all
items
from
trees
and
shrubs
that
would
otherwise
go
to
waste
on
public
property.
C
So
this
past
year
we
harvested
about
six
enough
food
to
reach
more
than
6,000
miles
here
in
our
community
when
we
share
four
ways
so
the
best
stuff,
the
highest
quality,
goes
there.
At
least
one
quarter
goes
the
nearest
food
bank
and
need
one
quarter
shared
with
the
volunteers,
a
quarter
shared
with
the
homeowners.
C
In
the
case
of
the
the
landowner
or
homeowner
being
the
City
of
Ottawa,
we
divert
that
extra
bit
to
the
local
food
bank
that
could
use
it
and
then
in
court
of
those
local
businesses,
and
we
have
business
relationships
with
the
most
every
single
one
of
your
words
on
this
committee,
we're
working
with
Michael
Dolce
jams.
We
have
bicycle
Kraft
theory.
We
have
relationships
with
the
merry
dairy
top-shelf
preserves,
so
many
great
local
businesses
that
and
restaurants
that
love
making
use
of
this
local
food.
C
We
also
make
use
of
the
city's
green
bean
program
and
any
bad
apples
of
yard
waste
that
our
volunteers
are
cleaning
up
are
also
diverted
to
the
residential
Organic
Program,
to
increase
the
tonnage
going
to
over
the
world.
So
councilmen
are
this.
Is
your
award
visit
our
labor
and
training?
I?
Think
it's
a
daycare
learning
how
to
use
one
of
our
picker
pools
at
an
orchard
in
the
city.
C
So
we
also
do
that
flight.
Is
that
because
we
do
workshops
and
outreach
and
things
like
that
as
well,
it
doesn't
always
have
to
be
the
counselors
telling
the
people
what
to
do.
Often,
the
community
groups
well
positioned
nonprofits
to
leverage
funding
to
make
good
investments,
but
I'm
not
here
to
talk
about
that
today.
I'm
here
to
talk
about
resourcing
the
low-hanging
fruit,
there's
some
great
opportunities
in
this
plan.
That
would
be
a
shame
to
let
fall
on
the
ground
without
getting
funding
in
particular.
C
But
right
now,
there's
no
single
staff
person
dedicated
to
doing
all
of
that.
They're.
Also
understanding
your
tree
canopy
and
developing
an
urban
forest
inventory
collection
and
maintenance
plan,
also
small
steps
that
can
have
a
huge
impact
in
the
long
run.
We
heard
from
from
some
of
the
past
speakers
and
the
delegation
saying
like
what
are
the
budget
numbers
for
these
action
items
for
your
your
energy
plan
that
transparency
we
found,
such
as
when
the
forestry
services
opened
up
on
open
data.
C
The
tree
inventory:
that's
empowered,
a
lot
of
the
food
banks
to
say,
wait,
there's
apple
trees
like
two
blocks
from
our
food
bank.
We
had
no
idea
and
that's
empowering
them-
to
take
action
now,
leaving
it
to
the
C's
budget
to
hire
someone
to
harvest
those
apples,
so
they
don't
get
picked
up
by
a
street
sweeper.
It's
empowering
our
communities
to
take
that
action.
So
by
you
guys
having
a
better
knowledge
of
what
your
assets
inventory
and
canopy
is.
C
It
empowers
organizations
such
as
ours
to
recommend
where
good
tree
planting
opportunities
would
be
so
all-in-all
I
think
that's
it
we'd
like
to
thank
forestry
services
and
the
the
work
of
other
staff
and
stakeholders
for
the
tremendous
efforts.
Tremendous
effort,
I
didn't
read
that
properly
they
put
into
this
plan
and
routing
for
all
these
actions
to
go
off
the
ground
sooner
rather
than
later
and
with
the
full
support
of
this
committee.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you,
I
think
the
real
takeaway
is
that
counsel
Menard
permits
child
labor
in
his
ward,
I'm,
quite
justed
by
this
all
right.
Thank
yous.
Any
questions
for
the
delegation.
Oh
thank
you,
I
appreciate
your
always
enthusiastic.
You
come
a
previously.
You
think
you've
come
to
transpiration
cream.
Have
it
has
it
been
you've
been
to
some
committees
before
I
came
it's
very
much
appreciated
I'm
on
CPS,
so
I've
no
deity
would
I
assume
it
all
right.
Any
questions
for
staff
on
this
item-
councillor
egg
wah.
Yes,
unless
you're
cast
regular
so.
C
D
That's
what
we
need
to
determine
for
Ottawa,
so
there
are
several
other
municipalities
we
haven't
done.
We
actually
have
somebody
doing
some
research
right
now
for
us
on
various
aspects
of
this,
but
one
of
them
is
on
heritage,
bylaws,
heritage
programs
and
other
municipalities.
So
we
have
to
determine
that
follow
us.
So
that's
what
we're
doing
as
a
part
of
this
battle
review,
project.
Okay,.
D
Three
check
that
so
basically,
one
of
the
recommendations
of
the
urban
forest
management
plan
to
create
sort
of
a
permanent
set
of
working
groups
on
internal
and
external
urban
forestry
working
group
that
we
serve
engage
with
on
a
regular
basis
over
time.
Currently
because
we've
been
using
our
time
to
work
on
the
urban
parts
or
the
tree
by
all
of
you
and
the
tree
by
our
view
does
have
an
internal
and
external
stakeholder
group
as
a
part
of
that.
So
we've
been
focusing
our
time
on
on
working
with
them
and
we'll
be
moving
forward.
C
Into
the
future
over
time,
okay,
thanks
Claire,
okay,
so
I,
know
you've
been
out
in
the
community.
You've
been
to
my
community,
certainly
and
had
participation
when
the
Glens,
for
example,
so
I
was
a
little
confused
when
you
said
that
was
a
future
project,
and
so
we've
heard
a
lot
about
funding
and
staffing.
So
I
see
in
front
of
me
three
very
capable
staff
work
with
each
every
one
of
you
on
a
variety
of
projects
so
and
I
understand.
You
all
have
other
responsibilities
within
your
portfolios,
but
can
you
sort
of
break
down
quickly?
C
D
Chairs
for
you,
thank
you
for
your
question
right
now
we
do
have
month
or
who
works
full-time
primarily
on
the
urban
forestry
management
plan.
My
group
and
I'll
leave
it
to
Lila
to
talk
about
her
pieces
a
little
bit
further.
What
I
would
like
to
caution
is
I'm,
not
sure
that
an
additional
staff
person
on
the
urban
forestry
on
the
bylaws
would
would
significantly
speed
things
up.
They're
still
a
process
that
we're
dealing
with
here
so
we're
working
on.
You
know
internal
conversations,
we're
so
id8
and
we're
working
with
industry.
D
We
have
stakeholder
groups,
there's
a
positions
paper,
that's
going
to
be
coming
forward
very
shortly,
so
there
are
a
bunch
of
things
that
need
to
happen,
regardless
of
whether
or
not
we
have
Martha
or
an
additional
person,
and
what
we
have
done
is
we've
supplemented
Martha
where
she
requires
some
support.
So,
as
indicated,
we
are
looking
at
best
practices.
D
We
want
the
best
thinking
available,
we're
going
to
put
a
little
bit
of
money
behind
that
to
help
supplement
us
so
that
we're
saying
the
right
things,
I'm,
not
saying
that
we
don't
need
additional
resources,
but
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Lyla,
where
she
has
some
additional
priorities,
where
I
think
we
could
benefit
from
those
resources.
Thank
you
great
Thank,
You
Geraldine
through
the
chair,
so
we
work
closely
so,
of
course,
environmental
services.
Forestry
management
works
closely
with
our
partners
in
planning
on
this
program.
D
The
first
management
period
of
the
urban
forest
management
plan
requires
a
lot
of
one-time
funding
in
order
to
complete
things
like
the
cities'
tree
inventory,
development
of
a
tree,
planting
prioritized
prioritization
tool
and
the
completion
of
a
tree
manual.
So
this
doesn't
ask
for
an
increase
in
our
operating
budgets.
It
is
one-time
funding,
as
Miss
Humphries
is
also
mentioned
earlier.
Is
there
are
some
resource
requirements
that
will
be
coming
forward?
D
We're
looking
at
two
FTEs
for
education,
outreach
in
another
one
for
so
one
for
education,
outreach
and
another
for
management
of
tree
in
Victoria,
McMaster
data.
This
will
be
coming
forward
later
this
year,
we'll
be
coming
forward
to
Council,
with
a
budget
plan
for
this
term
Council
and
we're
hoping
that
council
will
see
this
through
there
quality
process.
C
D
You
would
prefer
that
the
start
as
soon
as
possible,
but
as
we
go
through
walking-
and
we
can't
forget
the
fact
that
we
are
working
through
a
number
of
programs
in
the
urban
forest
management
plan,
these
pieces
will
assist
to
lay
the
foundation
if
we
get
them
this
year.
It's
a
benefit.
We're
trying
to
look
in
our
own
resources,
how
we
can
create
temporary
FTEs
in
order
to
accommodate
that
portion
this
year.
But
again
it
will
be
coming
through
later
and
through,
hopefully
to
be
considered
through
cancer
priorities.
So
a
2020
ask
so.
C
D
We're
doing
a
clean
we're
going
through
each
of
our
budget
lines
quite
extensively
to
see
if
there
is
some
additional
funding
from
ongoing
projects
and
initiatives
that
we
can
maybe
divert
this
year
in
order
to
assist
it's
not
something
that
we
can
sustain
year
after
year,
but
we
are
definitely
taking.
We
know
how
important
this
program
is
and
how
to
set
these
foundations
at
now.
So
we
will
be
doing
a
closer
look
at
how
we
can
maybe
read,
avert
some
funds
this
year
in
order
to
make
sure
that
we
still
go
forward
with
these
recommendations.
D
C
D
We,
the
plan
that
will
be
coming
to
the
council
with
later
this
year,
will
be
more
for
the
rest
of
this
term
of
Council
to
set
a
budget.
So
so
it
will
aware
what
we
can
expect
and
can
see
through
this
next
term,
the
budget
we
can
come
back
with
a
plan
and
how
we
can
find
the
funds
to
make
sure
that
we
do
the
tree
inventory,
which
we're
looking
at
to
complete
in
2019
for
plucks
and
then
again
in
2020
for
wood,
lots
and
areas.
Okay,.
C
D
We
do
what
we
do
have
somebody
from
bylaw
services
who
sort
of
on
our
soft
team
working
on
this.
But
we,
you
know,
we
aren't
at
the
point
where
we're
dropping
the
buyer
yet
so
they
will
be
engaged.
You
know
more
as
we
move
forward,
but
yes,
there
is
somebody
on
our
team,
but
they
at
this
point
framing
the
issues
synthesizing
the
problems,
all
of
that
they're
playing
alone,
then
they'll
be
as
we
move
forward.
C
And
in
your
collective
opinion,
is
there
anything
that
this
committee
can
be
there
by
way
of
motion
or
direction
to
help
you
deal
with
I
forget
exactly
how
you
put
it
operational
issues
or
procedural?
Is
there
anything
we
can
do
anything
we
can
direct
anything.
We
can
move
that
will
help
push
this
process
forward.
I.
D
D
We'll
stop
we'll
have
our
recommendations
in
place,
and
then
we
will
be
basically
putting
everything
together,
putting
them
into
a
report
form
making
out
recommendations
coming
to
this
committee
so
coming
to
you
very
early
next
year
and
at
this
point,
I
think
we're
in
a
good
place
moving
forward,
as
Geraldine
mentioned
when
I
mentioned
earlier.
We
have
somebody
as
a
consultant
doing
some
background
work
for
us
as
we
do.
You
know
the
developing
of
our
issues
in
positions
paper
which
is
coming
out
to
our
our
stakeholders
in
probably
June
so
I
guess.
D
D
This
was
I
bought,
2000
2017.
Now
we're
looking
at
2019
2020
before
we
really
start
to
stop
trees
from
being
taken
down,
and
that's
the
crux
of
it
right,
because
so
in
my
ward,
which
is
the
downtown
Ward,
and
if
you
look
out
there,
there
aren't
many
trees
and
at
least
once
a
week
at
least
once
a
week
and
I've
started
to
compile
them
actually,
I
get
an
email
either
from
staff
from
a
developer
from
a
contractor.
D
With
a
really
good
reason
why
a
tree
or
several
trees
have
to
come
down
in
the
downtown,
and
it's
always
to
them
a
very
good
reason:
we're
building
a
new
library,
we're
changing
the
we're,
realigning
Albert,
Street
and
staff
have
recommended
that
to
wonderful
rows
of
trees,
come
down
on
Albert
Street
that
are
about
15
years
mature.
Now
it
happens
all
the
time
I
like
bike
lanes,
I,
think
that
cycling,
infrastructure,
I,
think
sidewalks
are
really
great.
I.
D
Think
affordable
housing
is
like
key
to
a
healthy
city,
but
breathing
is
the
most
important
thing
and
it
just
is,
and
when
we
build
bike
lanes
and
take
down
the
trees,
it
means
that
you
don't
bleed.
We
breathe
dirty
air
and-
and
it's
it's
probably
the
biggest
frustration
that
I
have
as
a
city
councilor
for
the
downtown
as
a
resident
in
the
downtown
is
how
we
treat
our
trees
and
how
we
we
talk
about
putting
down
words.
D
For
me,
it's
about
saving
the
roots,
it's
about
saving,
what
we
have
and
ensuring
that
there
are
real
true
consequences
to
two-point
entries.
So
when
I
look
at
this
again
recognizing
that
staff,
you
know
the
staff
that
we
have
do
do
the
best
job
that
they
can
with
the
resources.
We
give
you,
but
it's
our
responsibility
as
council
and
as
counselors
to
give
you
the
resources
you
need-
and
we
have
not
done
that.
We
have
not
done
that
because
we
passed
this
in
2017.
D
D
We
can
see
additional
resources
required
for
staffing
on
I,
think
14
15
of
the
26
recommendations,
so
I'm
having
a
really
hard
time,
understanding
how
we
could
be
sitting
here
without
any
recommendations
for
staffing
so
going
into
Council
I'm
not
going
to
do
it
today,
because
it
would
be
doing
it
on
the
fly
and
it
would
be
doing
it
under
nothing.
But
frustration
but
I
am
you
know
we
have
to
think
seriously
about
how
we
move
forward
and
I,
quite
frankly,
are
not
prepared
not
to
staff.
I.
D
Think
that
you
know
we
dealt
with
these
artificial
tax
caps
for
so
long
that
this
is
where
it's
left
us.
It
is
left,
as
with
you
they're
going
we're
doing
the
best
we
can
and
you
know
what
you
are,
but
we
haven't
given
you
the
resources
to
do
better
and
we
haven't.
Given
you
the
resources
to
ensure
the
trees
in
our
city
are
protected,
that
we
are
doing
everything
we
can
you
sit
here.
We
talk
about
climate
change,
we
talk
about
living,
healthy
lives.
D
We've
got
a
new
official
plan
that
we're
about
to
get
into
that
will
make
us
a
livable
city
and
we
are
not
moving
forward
on
on
protecting
our
Trent,
canopy
and
understanding
what
the
best
practices
are.
So
I
guess
I,
don't
have
any
other
questions.
I
know
what
you
need.
I've
just
answered
it
so
more
to
come.
I
guess
I'd
counsel,
but
it
is.
It
is
such
a
frustration.
Thank
you.
A
C
It
thanks
Jeff
just
very
quickly
the
type
the
timeline
for
coming
back
to
this
committee.
I
want
I
wanted
to
touch
on
that
too,
but
I've
met
with
you
separately
as
well,
but
it
seems
to
indicate
there's
UF,
MP
2022.
There's
a
report
back
to
Council,
but
the
items
that
are
flagged
within
that
looks
like
there
is
the
urban
forest
canopy
cover
study
2020
the
tree
by
overview
2020
and
the
significant
woodlands
2019.
When
those
are
when
those
are
completed,
do
they
come
back
to
us
to
for
implementation?
How
does
that
work.
D
Well,
yeah,
for
instance,
let's
go
with
the
tree
by
all
of
you
as
an
example.
So
when
we
once
we
bring
that
forward
and
as
we've
indicated
in
the
full
UF
MP,
we
imagine
that
resources
may
be
required
in
order
to
implement
what
we're
going
to
propose
when
we
come
back
and
so
then
we
would
have
to
navigate
that
at
that
time.
So
I'll
report
back
to
you
would
either
indicate
resources.
Then
it
would
be
planned
through
budget.
Okay,.
D
Here
you
exactly
with
with
those
bigger
items,
we
will
come
back
to
this
committee
and
and
report
back.
The
report
that
comes
back
in
2022
is
sort
of
the
it's
the
at
the
time
where
we
didn't
get
into
the
you
know
of
how
this
new
FMP
works,
but
basically
it's
the
time
where
we're
going
to
be
reporting
back
on
what
we
accomplished
in
the
first
management
period.
We
also
are
going
to
be
looking
at
our
monitoring
metrics
that
we
have
and
reassessing
how
we're
doing.
We
did
that
as
a
baseline
assessment.
D
So
we
be
assessing
or
putting
back
on
that
and
then
we'll
be
talking
about
what
we
plan
to
do
for
the
next
management
period,
which
is
mostly
already
laid
out
of
your
FMP.
But
one
thing
to
do
is
assess
new
challenges
and
new
opportunities,
and
we
kind
of
have
an
adaptive
management
framework
where
we
can
also
bring
those
into
it
to
report.
So
that's
the
report
in
2022.
That's
not
saying
that
on
our
individual
items
that
we're
doing,
we
won't
be
coming
back
here,
because.
C
You
know
you
heard
the
the
mayor's
comments
around
the
state
of
the
city
speech
and
it
seemed
to
place
some
importance
on
it
there
so
I'm,
hoping
that
the
term
of
council
priorities
provides
for
I,
guess
investment
in
this
as
a
priority
when
we
come
down
to
that
so
I
don't
know
exactly
the
note
that
we're
going
to
be
deciding
that
on,
but
when
that
comes
I
hope
members
of
this
committee
will
be
in
favor
of
this
as
a
term
of
council
priority
for
us
what
it
does
come
to
us.
So
thank
you.
