>> THANK YOU, YOUR WORSHIP.

SINCE WE COUNCIL AMENDED OUR COUNCIL PROCEDURE BY REGARDING PROCLAMATION, I WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO RECOGNIZE AND ACKNOWLEDGE OUR WONDERFUL NURSES THIS NATIONAL NURSING WEEK.

NURSING WEEK IS CELEBRATED NATIONALLY IN CANADA FROM COAST TO COAST TO COAST.

MAY IS AN IMPORTANT MONTH FOR THE NURSING PROFESSION.

EACH YEAR, THE SECOND WEEK OF MAY DRAWS ATTENTION TO NURSES, INCREASING THE AWARENESS OF THE MANY CONTRIBUTIONS OF NURSING TO CANADIANS.

THIS YEAR, NATIONAL NURSING WEEK WILL RUN FROM MAY 10-16, FALLING ONTO THE SAME WEEK AS INTERNATIONAL NURSES DAY ON MAY 12TH.

THE CELEBRATION COINCIDE WITH THE SAME WEEK AS NURSING PIONEER OF FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE'S BIRTHDAY ON MAY 12, WHICH WAS MARKED AS INTERNATIONAL NURSES DAY IN 1971.

THIS WEEK, WE CELEBRATE THE NURSES HARD WORK AND SUCCESS.

WE THANK THEM FOR THEIR MANY SACRIFICES AND DEDICATION TO OUR COMMUNITIES AND OUR COUNTRY.

THE THEME OF THIS YEAR'S NURSING WEEK IS, HASHTAG WE ANSWER THE CALL.

THE TEAM WAS DEVELOPED BY THE CANADIAN NURSES ASSOCIATION TO SHOWCASE THE MANY ROLES NURSES PLAY IN A PATIENT HEALTH CARE JOURNEY.

ACCORDING TO THE CANADIAN NURSES ASSOCIATION, THE PANDEMIC HAS SHED LIGHT ON THE COURAGE AND COMMITMENT THAT NURSES EXHIBIT EVERY DAY, HIGHLIGHTING THE IMPORTANT ROLE THAT NURSES PLAY IN THE COMMUNITY.

NURSES ARE THE CENTER OF OUR CANADIAN HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.

NURSES ARE THE SMILING FACES TO WELCOME US AT HOSPITALS AND CLINICS.

THEY ARE THE CALMING VOICE THAT'S HELPING US THROUGH OUR TOUGHEST DAYS, AND THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE HELPING TO CARE FOR OUR PARENTS, FAMILY MEMBERS, AND LOVED ONES DURING THIS COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

OVER THE PAST YEAR, PANDEMIC HAS AFFECTED ALL OF US AND PUT A LOT OF CHALLENGES.

IT HAS IMPACTED HOW WE WORK AND LEARN, INTERACT WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY, AND LIVE OUR DAILY LIVES.

YET DESPITE OF ALL THE MANY CHALLENGES, OUR NURSES HAVE WORKED TIRELESSLY TO SAFEGUARD THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF ALL THE PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES IN CANADA.

I AM THRILLED AND HONORED TO BE PART OF THIS AMAZING PROFESSION, AND THE CONTINUED CONTRIBUTION AND DEVOTION IN PROVIDING THE ULTIMATE CARE FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

LASTLY, I WOULD LIKE TO GREET ALL MY NURSING COLLEAGUES HERE IN YELLOWKNIFE IN THE WHOLE OF THE NORTHWEST TERRITORY.

A HAPPY NURSING WEEK.

YOU GUYS ROCK. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. FOR SURE A BIG WEEK TO CELEBRATE.

THEY'VE BEEN WORKING THEIR BUTTS OFF FOREVER.

NOT JUST THIS PAST YEAR, THAT'S FOR SURE.

ANY FURTHER MEMBER STATEMENTS? SEEING NONE.

NEXT, WE HAVE GOVERNANCE AND PRIORITIES COMMITTEE REPORT FOR APRIL 26. COUNCIL SILVERIO?

[Items 11 & 12]

[00:05:02]

>> I MOVE THE COUNCIL ABOUT THE FOLLOWING STRATEGIC PRIORITIES FOR THE MUNICIPAL ENFORCEMENT DIVISION FOR 2021, 22, EMPHASIS ON INCORPORATING RECONCILIATION WITH INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN THE PUBLIC SAFETY AND ENFORCEMENT TRIBUTES, STRATEGIC ENFORCEMENT OF LEVERAGE THE LICENSE BY LAW NUMBER 4536, CONTINUED EMPHASIS ON MED VISIBILITY IN THE COMMUNITY, PARTICULARLY IN DOWNTOWN CORE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE UNAUTHORIZED PARTY.

>> THANK YOU. CAN I GET A SECONDER? COUNCIL MORSE, ANY DISCUSSION? COUNCIL KELLETT?

>> THANK YOU. JUST A QUESTION TO THE ADMINISTRATION, I GUESS.

THE PARKING ONE, I'D LIKE TO CERTAINLY SEE SOME MORE ACTIVITY ON THAT.

I'M WONDERING IF THE WORDING SHOULD SAY ACTIVE ENFORCEMENT ON OUR AUTHORIZED PARKING.

>> [INAUDIBLE] PRIORITIES IS BOTH, IS PIVOTING OR PROVIDING MORE RESOURCES, SO I THINK IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE MORE PROACTIVE, OR ACTIVE.

IT MIGHT BE REDUNDANT TO ADD BUT MS. BASSI-KELLETT, BE BACK [INAUDIBLE]

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, YOUR WORSHIP AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE QUESTION, COUNCIL [INAUDIBLE].

CERTAINLY THESE PRIORITIES ARE ONES THAT WE WILL ADHERE TO AS WELL AS ALL OF THE TERMS THAT ARE LAID OUT UNDER THE ENFORCEMENT POLICY ITSELF, WHICH REALLY DOES SPEAK TO SAFETY IS NUMBER 1 PRIORITY THAT WE WILL ACT PROACTIVELY ON.

EVERYTHING ELSE, WE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT MORE REACTIVE OR COMPLAINT DRIVEN.

CERTAINLY AT THE DISCUSSION AT GPC ON THIS MATTER, THERE WAS A DISCUSSION OF THAT SOMETIMES UNAUTHORIZED PARKING CAN COMPOSE A SAFETY RISK OR SOME RISKS.

FOR EXAMPLE, FOR ACCESS OF EMERGENCY VEHICLES, FOR VISIBILITY OF PEDESTRIANS CROSSING STREETS.

CERTAINLY AS THINGS ARISE, I THINK THAT WE WILL HAVE OUR MED OFFICERS WITHIN THEIR CAPACITY BE RESPONDING TO THINGS THAT ARE BOTH THE PRIORITY AND THEY'RE SET OUT IN THE POLICY ITSELF.

I REALLY LIKE THIS ONE. I THINK THAT IT MAKES ENORMOUS SENSE.

ANECDOTALLY, WE'VE HAD A COMPLAINT ABOUT A BIG RV THAT WAS PARKED AT SCHOOL DRAWN FRANKLIN AND MIRACULOUSLY IT'S GONE AS I CAME UP THE HILL JUST NOW BACK TO THE OFFICE.

THERE'S GREAT ACTION THAT HAPPENS WHEN THERE ARE COMPLAINTS THAT ARE PUT IN, AND WE CERTAINLY WILL CONTINUE TO ADHERE TO THAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THANKS FOR THAT. I CERTAINLY HEARD SOME COMMENTS ABOUT THE BIG RV AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL.

I THINK THAT IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN.

INSTEAD OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT BEING COMPLAINT DRIVEN, I WOULD VENTURE THAT BYLAW DRIVES UP AND DOWN FRANKLIN ON AT LEAST A DAILY BASIS.

I THINK IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT IT HAS TO BE COMPLAINT DRIVEN.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT NOT BE COMPLAINT DRIVEN.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT ACTIVELY ENFORCED.

IF WE CAN SOMEHOW INCORPORATE THAT IN THIS, THAT WOULD JUST MAKE ME SUPER HAPPY.

>> YOU WANT TO MOVE A MOTION TO AMEND THIS TO SAY PROACTIVE ENFORCEMENT OF UNAUTHORIZED PARKING LOT?

>> FROM WHAT I'M HEARING, I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF DIFFERENCE OF WHAT THE WORDING IS, BUT WE'LL SEE IF ANYBODY ELSE FEELS AS STRONGLY ABOUT THIS AS WHAT I DO.

>> OKAY. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR DISCUSSION FROM COUNCILORS? COUNCILOR MORSE?

>> YEAH, JUST TO SPEAK TO NIELS' POINTS, I GOT THE IMPRESSION THAT WE HAD THIS DISCUSSION AND LANDED ON THE WORDING THAT WE LANDED ON AND I THINK ADMINISTRATION HEARD THE CONCERNS RAISED BY SEVERAL COUNCILORS ABOUT THESE ISSUES, SO I'M PRETTY COMFORTABLE STICKING WITH IT.

COUNCILOR KONGE OF COURSE IS WELCOME TO PUT AMENDMENT FORWARD.

PERSONALLY, I'M OKAY WITH THE WORDING AS IS AND I THINK THE MESSAGE GOT ACROSS TO ADMINISTRATION, SO I'M FINE WITH IT.

>> THANK YOU. ANYTHING FURTHER FROM COUNCIL? COUNCILOR WILLIAMS?

>> YEAH. JUST AGAIN, IN RESPONSE TO COUNCILOR KONGE'S CALL.

CERTAINLY COULD PUT SUPPORT, BUT I THINK THAT THE ADMINISTRATION WAS PRETTY CLEAR THAT THEY WOULD BE ACTIVELY ENFORCING THIS.

I THINK THAT OVERALL THE POINT GOT ACROSS, BUT CERTAINLY IF YOU WERE TO PUT A MOTION THROUGH, I THINK IT'S IN THE SAME LINE OF SUPPORTING OR CLEANING UP THE ISSUE THAT WE HAVE WITH PARKING, SO COULD CERTAINLY SUPPORT THAT AMENDMENT AS WELL.

[00:10:02]

>> THANK YOU. ANYTHING FURTHER? SEEING NONE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? THAT CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. COUNCILOR SILVERIO?

>> ARE WE ON THE RCMP NOW OR?

>> YEAH. NUMBER 13. SORRY.

[13. Councillor Silverio moves, Councillor ____________ seconds, That Council recommend the following 2021/22 policing priorities to the RCMP Yellowknife Detachment: - Renewed focus on combating officer biases and sexual assault myths within the RCMP; - Improved visibility, public engagement and response to calls for service in the downtown (Central Business District); and - Enforcement of territorial impaired driving laws.]

>> I MOVE THAT COUNCIL RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING 2021, 2022 POLICING PRIORITIES TO THE RCMP, YELLOWKNIFE DETACHMENT.

RENEWED FOCUS ON COMBATING OF OFFICER BIASES AND SEXUAL ASSAULT MYTHS WITHIN THE RCMP.

IMPROVE VISIBILITY, PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, AND RESPONSE TO CALLS FOR SERVICE IN DOWNTOWN CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND ENFORCEMENT OF TERRITORIAL IMPAIRED DRIVING LAWS.

>> THANK YOU. DO YOU HAVE A SECONDER? COUNCILOR MORGAN. ANY DISCUSSION? COUNCILOR WILLIAMS?

>> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. YEAH, ON THIS ITEM, I UNFORTUNATELY HAD TO MISS THAT GPC, I HAD TO STEP AWAY FOR ANOTHER MEETING.

I'M JUST CURIOUS, THIS MAY HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED, SO APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE.

BUT MY QUESTION TO ADMINISTRATION WAS, I KNOW THAT IT HAD BEEN DISCUSSED AND NOT ACTED UPON IN THE PAST.

BUT THE ENFORCEMENT OF OPEN LIQUOR IN THE DOWNTOWN CORE.

JUST CURIOUS, AGAIN, JUST ABOUT CITY ADMINISTRATION'S POSITION ON THAT AND WHY MAYBE IT WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE PRIORITIES.

I KNOW THAT RCMP IS PRIMARILY JURISDICTION OF GNWT BUT WE HAVE BEEN HEARING SOME REPORTS OF INCREASED INCIDENCE OF OPEN LIQUOR, A BIT OF THAT LAWLESSNESS WHEN IT COMES TO LIQUOR.

I'M JUST CURIOUS ON WHERE THAT FITS IN THE PRIORITIES.

>> I THINK THAT WOULD BE CAPTURED IN THE NUMBER 2 OF THE VISIBILITY AND RESPONSE TO CALLS IN THE DOWNTOWN, BUT MS. BASSI-KELLETT?

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH YOUR WORSHIP AND THANKS COUNCILOR WILLIAMS FOR THAT QUESTION.

ABSOLUTELY. I THINK WE KNOW THAT PUBLIC DRUNKENNESS CAN BE AN ISSUE IN OUR DOWNTOWN AND WE CERTAINLY DID WANT TO CAPTURE THAT WITHIN THE OVERALL ENVELOPE OF A GREATER PRESENCE IN THE DOWNTOWN, OF HAVING THE RCMP BE PART OF THE DOWNTOWN, NOT JUST SHOWING UP WHEN THERE'S AN INCIDENT, BUT PERHAPS HAVING THOSE ABILITY FOR FOOT PATROLS, MUCH LIKE OUR MED OFFICERS DO, SO THAT THEY CAN ACTIVELY LOOK FOR AND STAY A LOT OF THE INCIDENTS WHERE THEY HAVE THE AUTHORITY AND JURISDICTION TO BE ABLE TO FOLLOW UP.

THEY ARE SHORT STAFFED, WE'RE ADVISED AS WELL, THEY HAVE FEW PEOPLE ON THE GROUND BUT CERTAINLY THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'LL COMMUNICATE TO THEM.

IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE COMMUNITY AND SUPPORT FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR OVERALL WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU.

>> GREAT AND THANK YOU FOR THAT.

>> THANK YOU. ANYTHING FURTHER FROM COUNCIL? SEEING NONE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? THAT CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

ITEM NUMBER 14, COUNCILOR SILVERIO.

[14. Councillor Silverio moves, Councillor ____________ seconds, That Council endorse the Disaster Mitigation Adaptation Fund’s Community Employment Benefit seven target groups and support 20– 30% of employment hours carried out by individuals who fall into at least one of the Community Employment Benefit seven target groups, and 50% of purchasing from target enterprise types.]

>> I MOVE THAT COUNCIL ENDORSE THE DISASTER MITIGATION ADAPTATION FUNDS TO MEET THE EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT, SEVEN TARGET GROUPS, AND SUPPORT 20-30 PERCENT OF EMPLOYMENT HOURS CARRIED OUT BY THE INDIVIDUAL WHO FALL INTO AT LEAST ONE OF THE COMMUNITY EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT, SEVEN TARGET GROUPS, AND 50 PERCENT OF PURCHASING FROM THE TARGET ENTERPRISE TYPES.

>> THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE A SECONDER? COUNCILOR MORGAN, ANY DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? THAT CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

COUNCILOR KONGE WILL EXCUSE HIMSELF FOR THE NEXT ONE.

[Items 15 & 16]

>> I MOVE THAT COUNCIL [INAUDIBLE] ADMINISTRATION TO COME BACK WITH A COST ESTIMATE FOR HAVING WASHROOM FACILITIES AT ALL CLASS A PARKS, PLAY GROUNDS, AND SPORTS QUAD FIELDS.

>> THANK YOU. ALTHOUGH ADMIN HAS ALREADY COME BACK, WE'LL JUST PUT THE MOTION ON THE RECORD. DO WE HAVE A SECONDER? COUNCILOR MUFANDAEDZA, ANY DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? SORRY, COUNCILOR MUFANDAEDZA, DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO IT OR? NO, OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? OKAY. COUNCILOR WILLIAMS OPPOSED AND I BELIEVE THAT COUNCILOR MORSE'S FROZEN.

COUNCILOR MORSE, ARE YOU IN FAVOR OR OPPOSED? IS HE FROZEN ON ANYBODY ELSE'S SCREEN?

[00:15:08]

WELL, THE VOTE WAS COUNCILOR MUFANDAEDZA, COUNCILOR SILVERIO, COUNCILOR MORGAN, AND MAYOR ALTY IN FAVOR.

IS THAT CORRECT WITH COUNCILOR WILLIAMS OPPOSED? OKAY, WE'LL RECORD THAT VOTE, STILL MAJORITY PASSES.

COUNCILOR SILVERIO, IF YOU ARE ABLE TO INTRODUCE THE NEXT ITEM, NUMBER 17.

[17. Councillor Silverio moves, Councillor ____________ seconds, That Council: - Direct Administration to utilize the 2021 COVID Safe Restart Funding to maximize the benefits to Yellowknife residents and businesses by allocating $230,000 to provide relief for businesses, $230,000 to provide relief for property enhancements, $65,000 to extend Sombe K’e washroom hours, $80,000 to support Communications, $80,000 to support policy/legislative work, and $95,000 to hire summer students; and - Direct Administration to develop parameters for the businesses and property enhancements opportunities to ensure the funding is used to deliver meaningful and manageable relief programs.]

>> IT'S OKAY. [NOISE] I MOVE THAT COUNCIL DIRECT ADMINISTRATION TO UTILIZE THE 2021 COVID SAFE RESTART FUNDING TO MAXIMIZE THE BENEFITS TO YELLOWKNIFE RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES BY ALLOCATING $230,000 TO PROVIDE RELIEF FOR BUSINESSES, 230,000 TO PROVIDE RELIEF FOR PROPERTY ENHANCEMENT, 65,000 TO EXTEND SOME OF THE WASHROOM HOURS, 80,000 TO SUPPORT COMMUNICATION, $80,000 TO SUPPORT POLICY, LEGISLATIVE WORK, AND 95,000 TO HIRE SUMMER STUDENTS.

DIRECT ADMINISTRATION TO DEVELOP PARAMETERS FOR THE BUSINESSES AND PROPERTY ENHANCEMENTS OPPORTUNITIES TO ENSURE THE FUNDING IS USED TO DELIVER MEANINGFUL AND MANAGEABLE RELIEF PROGRAM.

>> THANK YOU. DO I HAVE A SECONDER FOR THE MOTION? COUNCILOR WILLIAMS? HEY, WELCOME BACK, COUNCILOR MORSE.

COUNCILOR MORGAN, DO YOU HAVE AN AMENDMENT?

>> THANK YOU YOUR WORSHIP. I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE THAT INSTEAD OF ALLOCATING THE 230,000 FOR BUSINESS RELIEF AND 230,000 FOR PROPERTY ENHANCEMENTS NOW, THAT THOSE TWO BECOMES PART OF THE SECOND BULLET POINT WHERE WE SAY DIRECT ADMINISTRATION TO DEVELOP PARAMETERS FOR THE BUSINESS RELIEF AND PROPERTY ENHANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES, AND SEEK COUNCIL APPROVAL TO SPEND UP TO 460,000 ON THOSE OPPORTUNITIES.

>> YOU WANT 230,000 TO PROVIDE RELIEF FOR BUSINESS, 230,000 TO PROVIDE RELIEF FOR PROPERTY ENHANCEMENTS.

IS CONDITIONAL ON ADMINISTRATION DEVELOPING PARAMETERS, HENCE COMING BACK TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL BEFORE SPENDING?

>> YES.

>> [NOISE] WE DO HAVE TO HAVE IT IN WRITING, SO LET'S TAKE TWO SECONDS OR CAN YOU POST THEM IN THE CHAT TAB IN WRITING?

>> YEAH. AT LEAST THE SECOND BULLET POINT, THIS IS WHAT I HAD WRITTEN DOWN.

THAT'LL BE THE SECOND BULLET POINT.

THEN THE FIRST BULLET POINT WOULD JUST TAKE OUT THE FIRST TWO ITEMS ON THE LIST AND START WITH BY ALLOCATING [NOISE] 65,000 TO EXTEND SOME OF THE KEY WASHROOM HOURS, ETC.

>> DO YOU HAVE A SECOND OR FOR THE AMENDMENT? COUNSELOR MOFENDAIZER, OPENING IT UP TO DISCUSSION, COMES TO MORGAN.

DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THAT?

>> YEAH. MY FEELING IS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE DETAILS ABOUT WHAT WE WOULD SPEND THIS MONEY ON.

IT'S A LARGE SUM OF MONEY AND I KNOW THAT ADMINISTRATION HAS SOME GREAT PLANS TO BE WORKING WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ON VARIOUS IDEAS THEY HAVE, WHICH IS GREAT.

[00:20:04]

I KNOW THERE WAS ARGUMENTS MADE BY ADMINISTRATION THAT THE 230,000 FOR PROPERTY ENHANCEMENTS IN PARTICULAR COULD BE REALLY EFFECTIVE AT BOTH GIVING, STEP UP TO INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE WANTING TO BUILD THINGS ON THEIR PROPERTIES AND REALLY BOOST ECONOMY FOR CONTRACTORS IN TOWN AND I ASSUME ANY LARGE DEVELOPMENTS OR CONSTRUCTION THAT IS TO BE BUILT.

BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE CONTRACTORS IN TOWN ARE CURRENTLY EXTREMELY BUSY, RUN OFF THEIR FEET.

ALL OF THE CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS ARE ALREADY PRICES ARE SKYROCKETING.

TO ME I'M NOT CONVINCED THAT THIS INITIATIVE WILL JUMP START A SECTOR OF THE ECONOMY THAT IS SOMEHOW LAGGING AT THE MOMENT OR SUFFERING BECAUSE OF COVID.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR EFFORTS TO JUMPSTART THE ECONOMY ARE ACTUALLY EFFECTIVELY REACHING THOSE SECTORS THAT ARE STRUGGLING BECAUSE OF COVID, AND ARE NOT JUST GIVING DISCOUNTS TO PEOPLE WHO WOULD HAVE SPENT THAT MONEY ON OUR ECONOMY ANYWAY.

I JUST THINK MORE ANALYSIS IN DISCUSSION IS NECESSARY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE REALLY TARGET THIS FUNDING TO BENEFIT THE BUSINESSES THAT ARE STRUGGLING AND STRATEGICALLY BOOST THE ECONOMY WHERE IT'S BEEN STRUGGLING BECAUSE OF COVID.

>> THANK YOU. MISS BASSI-KELLET, DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO ADVISABILITY OF THIS FROM MY ADMINISTRATIVE PERSPECTIVE?

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, YOUR WORSHIP, ABSOLUTELY AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH COUNCILOR MORGAN.

WE REALLY UNDERSTAND, WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE DISCUSSION THAT HAPPENED TO GPC LAST WEEK, WHERE THERE IS A REALLY RICH UNDERSTANDING AND A GREAT PASSION FROM AMONGST COUNSEL MEMBERS TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS $780,000 GOES TOWARDS SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

CERTAINLY AS ADMINISTRATION PUT THE LIST OF THINGS TOGETHER, WE WERE LOOKING AT NEED, WE WERE LOOKING AT COUNCIL'S GOALS AND OBJECTIVES AND SEEKING TO ALIGN HOW WE WOULD SPEND THIS COVID FUNDING IN A MANNER THAT COULD COMPLEMENT.

ADDRESS A REAL NEED THAT WE HAVE, AND ALSO BE ABLE TO REALLY LOOK AT ADVANCING SOME OF COUNCIL'S PRIORITIES ON THIS.

WE REALLY LOOKED LONG AND HARD AT THE ECONOMY, AND WE LOOKED REALLY LONG AND HARD AT DEVELOPMENT OVERALL, RECOGNIZING THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PRESSURES RIGHT NOW AND THERE'S SO MUCH VOLATILITY WITH COST OF MATERIALS, COST OF DOING BUSINESS.

WE KNOW THAT WE HEAR THAT LOUD AND CLEAR FROM THE CHAMBER AND OTHER PARTNERS.

BUT WE REALLY WANTED TO PUT SOME MONEY TOWARDS THOSE THINGS TO INCENTIVIZE THOSE PRACTICES, TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT COUNSEL'S DIRECTION THAT YOU'VE PROVIDED TO US THROUGH YOUR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES.

WE REALLY APPRECIATED THE MOTION LAST TIME THAT SAID, "GO AWAY AND TALK TO THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ABOUT THIS, GET SOME THINGS THAT ARE GENERALLY GOING TO WORK TO SUPPORT THE ECONOMY AND TO SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OVERALL.

RESPECTFULLY, I THINK THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL DIRECTION FOR US TO HAVE.

THAT'S THE DIRECTION AND THAT WE KNOW WE'VE GOT OUR MARCHING ORDERS TO LOOK AT GOING TO WORKING AND COLLABORATING WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WITH BUSINESSES TO LOOK AT MODELS THAT CAN SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT, SUPPORT THE ECONOMY, AND MAXIMIZE AGAIN, WHAT THE IMPACT OF SOME POSITIVE INVESTMENT CAN BE FOR YELLOWKNIFE VERSE OVERALL.

IF WE ARE RETURNING TO COUNSEL YET AGAIN WITH DETAILS ON THIS, WITH THE GREATEST OF RESPECT, WE'RE GOING TO BE GETTING INTO A LOT OF WEEDS ON THIS.

IF YOU GIVE US THE BROAD HIGH-LEVEL DIRECTION TO SUPPORT SOME ECONOMIC RECOVERY.

IF YOU GIVE US THAT HIGH LEVEL DIRECTION TO SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT AND BUILDING PERMITS THAT ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE BENEFITING INDIVIDUALS, SMALL CONTRACTORS, DEVELOPERS THAT ARE DOING SOME WORK THAT ARE GOING TO BENEFIT SOMETHING THAT'S OF A SCALE THAT WE REALLY WANT TO SUPPORT.

WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT MILLION DOLLAR AND DEVELOPMENTS, BUT LOOKING AT REALLY FOCUSING ON HOW WE CAN SUPPORT AND SUPPLEMENT THAT WORK TO INCENTIVIZE PEOPLE TO WANT TO DO SOME MINOR DEVELOPMENTS THAT THEY THEN GO AND HIRE CONTRACTORS, DEVELOPERS AND GET THAT WORK DONE.

WE SAW THAT AS ADVICE THAT WE COULD REALLY TAKE AND RUN WITH.

NOW WE CAN SET UP A PROGRAM, DESIGN IT TO GET THIS MONEY OUT QUICKLY.

AS OPPOSED TO GOING BACK TALKING TO THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, DEVELOPING SOME IDEAS, COMING BACK TO COUNSEL.

IF THERE'S SOME LIKE, "OH WELL, WHICH ECONOMIC INCENTIVES?"

[00:25:05]

WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE HEARING IT.

WE WILL FOLLOW YOUR DIRECTION OF COURSE.

BUT WE'D REALLY LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GET MOVING WITH THIS FUNDING AS OPPOSED TO COMING BACK TO IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THANK YOU. DID ANY OTHER COUNSELORS WANT TO SPEAK TO THE AMENDMENTS? COUNSELOR WILLIAMS.

>> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. YEAH. I FELT IT QUITE A COMPELLING.

THEN WHEN THAT FIRST AND I CAN DEFINITELY SEE WHERE IT COUNTS FROM MORGAN IS COMING FROM AND I CAN SEE HOW THAT INCENTIVE, MAYBE CHALLENGING.

BUT AFTER HEARING THIS BASIC HEALTH RESPONSE AND NOT KNOWING SOME OF THE INNER INTRICACIES OF PLANNING AND LANDS AND HAVING THEM HAVE THAT ABILITY TO WORK WITH DEVELOPERS AND WORK WITH SMALL PROJECTS.

I GUESS I JUST, EVEN THOUGH I REALLY RESPECT WHERE THE AMENDMENTS IS COMING FROM, I JUST DON'T THINK THAT I WOULD LIKE IT TO COME BACK TO US.

I WILL NOT BE SUPPORTING THE AMENDMENT, BUT CERTAINLY APPRECIATE ITS SPIRIT.

>. THANK YOU, COUNSELOR MOFENDAIZER.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH YOUR WORSHIP.

I PRETTY MUCH WOULD AGREE WITH WHAT IT COMES FROM WILLIAMS HAS JUST SAID AS A SECOND AFTER MOTION, I HAVE THOUGH OF MAYBE US GETTING UPDATES OR RECOMMENDATION ON HOW THE FUNDING WAS GOING TO BE USED, BUT DEFINITELY DON'T WANT TO START THE PROCESS BY HAVING THIS COME BACK TO COUNSEL.

WE'LL GIVE THEM ADMINISTRATION OUR SUPPORTED, AT LEAST I'LL GIVE YOU MY SUPPORT AND TRUST THAT YOU WILL DO WHAT'S BEST FOR THIS ECONOMY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THANK YOU. ANYTHING FURTHER FROM COUNSELORS? FOR MYSELF, I THINK.

YEAH. APPRECIATE THE MOTION.

THINK IT'S 601 HALF A DOZEN OF THE OTHER INTERESTED TO GET INTO THE NUTS AND BOLTS.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE'VE GOT A LOT OF OTHER THINGS ON OUR PLATES AND I THINK WITH ADMINISTRATION AND THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO WORK OUT THE DETAILS AND FIND THE BEST PROJECTS, ADMINISTRATION WORKING WITHIN COUNCIL'S STRATEGIC PLAN AS OUR FRAMEWORK AS WELL AS THOSE COVID PRINCIPLES THAT WE SET LAST YEAR.

I DON'T THINK IT HAS TO COME BACK FOR FURTHER COUNSEL REVIEW AND APPROVAL.

I WOULD BE VOTING AGAINST THE AMENDMENT, BUT SUPPORTING THE MOTION AS PRESENTED IN OUR AGENDA.

ANYTHING FURTHER FROM COUNSELORS ON THE AMENDMENTS? COUNSELOR MORGAN?

>> I'M ASSUMING NO ONE ELSE HAS COMMENTS, SO I COULD CLOSE.

WITH RESPECT, I DO FEEL QUITE STRONGLY THAT THIS IS NOT GETTING INTO THE WEEDS.

ANYTHING THAT COMES TO US AT BUDGET TIME.

IF SOMETHING CAME TO US FOR $460,000 THAT BUDGET TIME AND SAID JUST SOMETHING TO DO WITH BUSINESS SUPPORT OR DISCOUNTS ON PERMITS.

I THINK WE WOULD DEFINITELY WANT MORE INFORMATION.

I'M NOT ASKING TO SEE WHICH BUSINESSES ARE GOING TO GET WHICH INCENTIVES.

NOT THAT LEVEL OF DETAIL, BUT PARAMETERS I THINK IS A FAIR REQUEST AND I HAVEN'T SEEN CLEAR ARGUMENTS SO FAR AS TO WHAT IS THE LOGIC OF THE PROCESS BY WHICH THE PROPERTY ENHANCEMENT CATEGORY IN PARTICULAR.

HOW THAT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO JUMPSTART OUR ECONOMY.

I HAVEN'T SEEN IT LAID OUT, IT WOULD EFFECT, THIS WHICH WOULD CAUSE THIS, WHICH WOULD CHANGE OUR ECONOMY IN ANY WAY.

I WOULD JUST WANT TO SEE THE LOGIC AND HAVE SOME ANALYSIS DONE TO CONVINCE ME THAT THAT IS THE BEST WAY TO PROVIDE BUSINESS RELIEF OR ECONOMIC RECOVERY STIMULUS.

I THINK THAT OUR OVERALL OVERARCHING COUNCIL GOAL OR PRIORITY AROUND PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT IN THE COMMUNITY IS PRETTY BROAD.

[00:30:03]

I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE SAYING THAT JUST BECAUSE WE'VE SET A PRIORITY AROUND VARIOUS PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT, THEN IT'S SOMEHOW CLEAR TO ADMINISTRATION THAT OUR WISHES WILL BE CARRIED OUT.

I PERSONALLY FEEL THAT IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY TO CITIZENS TO HAVE SOME MORE OVERSIGHT ON THIS AND JUST TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE PARAMETERS THAT WOULD GOVERN HOW ALMOST HALF A MILLION DOLLARS IS HANDED OUT.

I STILL FEEL QUITE STRONGLY THAT WE SHOULD HAVE SOME APPROVAL AUTHORITY ON THE PARAMETERS OF THIS SPENDING.

>> FOR SURE. ANYTHING FURTHER FROM COUNCIL? SEEING NONE TO THE AMENDMENT, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? THAT'S DEFEATED WITH COUNSELOR MORGAN IN FAVOR, TO THE MOTION.

ANY FURTHER COMMENTS OR DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? THAT CARRIES WITH COUNSELOR MORGAN OPPOSED.

COUNSEL KOGA, YOU CAN COME BACK NOW.

NEXT, WE HAVE NEW BUSINESS.

[Items 18 & 19]

>> I MOVE THAT COUNCIL APPOINTS JUST SAY, GEORGINA ROAD.

>> GEORGINA ROAD, SORRY.

>> I MOVE THAT COUNCIL APPOINTS GEORGINA ROAD TO SERVE FOR A TWO YEAR TERM EFFECTIVE MAY 11TH, 2021 UNTIL MAY 10TH, 2024 ON THE CITY OF YELLOWKNIFE DEVELOPMENT APPEAL BOARD.

>> THANK YOU, DO WE HAVE A SECONDER.

COUNSELOR MUTHENDEZA.

ANY DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

THAT CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

IS THERE ANY NEW BUSINESS FROM THE FLOOR? SEEING NONE. THERE WERE NO BY-LAWS FOR THE AGENDA.

THERE WAS NO DEFERRED BUSINESS AND THERE WERE NO TABLED RANDOMS FOR THE AGENDA.

IS THERE ANY DEFERRED BUSINESS? ARE THERE ANY TABLED ITEMS FROM THE FLOOR? THERE WAS NO OLD BUSINESS BUSY AGENDA.

IS THERE ANY OLD BUSINESS FROM THE FLOOR? THERE WERE NO NOTICE FOR THE MOTION FOR THE AGENDA.

ARE THERE ANY NOTICES IN THIS MOTION FROM THE FLOOR? THERE WERE NO DELEGATIONS PERTAINING TO ITEMS, NOT ON THE AGENDA.

THERE WERE NO ADMINISTRATIVE INQUIRIES FOR THE AGENDA.

ARE THERE ANY ADMINISTRATIVE INQUIRIES FROM THE FLOOR?

[30. Are there any administrative enquiries from the floor?]

>>THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. MORE IN REGARDS TO THE PRESENTATION THAT WAS GOING TO TAKE PLACE TODAY.

I OF COURSE, AS EVERY COUNSELOR, A FLOOD OF EMAILS THIS WEEK AND I SAW SOME OTHER COMMUNICATIONS COMING THROUGH AS WELL FROM MADAM MAYOR HERSELF.

JUST SORT OF CURIOUS IF ADMINISTRATION WOULD JUST LIKE TO EXPLAIN MAYBE WHAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK AND WHAT THE SITUATION WAS AND WHAT MIGHT BE HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE IN REGARDS TO THE CAMLAKE FILE?

>> FOR SURE. MISS BASSI KELLETT.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOUR WORSHIP AND THANKS TO THE QUESTION, COUNSELOR WILLIAMS. YES, AS COUNSELORS WILL RECALL, BUDGET 2021 DOES SET ASIDE SOME FUNDS THAT WOULD ENABLE SOME PLANNING AND DESIGN WORK FOR A CAM LAKE EXPANSION.

WE KNOW THAT THE LOGS THAT ARE AVAILABLE IN CAM LAKE WHERE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, WHERE THERE'S COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITIES AND PEOPLE CAN LIVE AT THEIR RESIDENTS WHILE OPERATING THEIR BUSINESS, EITHER QUITE POPULAR THERE IN DEMAND, AND SO CERTAINLY WE DO HAVE SOME MONEY IN THE BUDGET TO PROCEED WITH THIS.

WHAT WE NEED TO DO BEFORE WE GO AHEAD WITH THE SITE PLAN AND WITH THE PLANNING AND ENGINEERING WORK THAT WE HAD INADVERTENTLY PUT OUT A LITTLE EARLIER THAN WE SHOULD.

WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF WORK TO DO AROUND THE ZONING AND AROUND THE AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THAT AREA.

THOSE WILL PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOME BROADER PUBLIC DISCUSSION BEFORE WE END UP SEEKING SOME EXTERNAL EXPERTISE TO BE ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER AN AREA PLAN THAT'S GOING TO WORK FOR THAT AND A DESIGN THAT CAN BE QUITE TOGETHER THEN THAT WE CAN GO AHEAD WITH.

[00:35:04]

>> GREAT. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

>> THANK YOU, COUNSELOR CONGA.

>> THANKS. WAS DOWNTOWN THIS AFTERNOON SHOPPING AND WENT BY THE MINE RESCUE BUILDING.

I WAS WONDERING IF WE KNOW WHEN THE GNWT HAS GIVEN ANY INDICATION AS TO WHEN THEY MIGHT STOP HAVING A LOCAL WHATEVER THEY'RE CALLING A DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY AND WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT? IF THEY DID WANT EXTEND THE STATE OF EMERGENCY.

HOW LONG DO THEY HAVE TO VACATE THAT BUILDING AFTER THEY VACATE THE BUILDING, ARE WE GOING TO GO TO RFP AGAIN OR ARE WE GOING TO GIVE IT TO WHOEVER THE SUCCESSOR REFORM WAS ON THE LAST ONE.

WHAT'S THE PLANS THERE?

>> MISS BASSI KELLETT.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE QUESTION.

IT'S CERTAINLY ONE THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH ON.

CERTAINLY, THEY HAD ORIGINALLY INDICATED THEY'RE INTERESTED IN STAYING IN THAT LOCATION UNTIL THE END OF MAY.

I THINK WE ALL KNOW THAT EVERY TWO WEEKS THE MINISTRY OF MUNICIPAL AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS RENEWS A STATE OF LOCAL EMERGENCY, WHICH ENABLED THE GNWT TO COMMANDEER THAT BUILDING FOR USE AS A TEMPORARY DAY SHELTER OVER THE COURSE OF THE WINTER.

WITH THE WARMER WEATHER COMING AND WE HAVE BEEN TALKING TO THE GNWT, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES TO SEE WHAT THEIR INTENT IS.

WHAT THEY HAVE SAID TO US THAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SPACE.

THEY'RE LOOKING AT A COUPLE OF OPTIONS RIGHT NOW THAT ARE ALTERNATIVE TO THE CURRENT MINE RESCUE BUILDING.

THAT BUILDING ISN'T OFF THE TABLE YET IN TERMS OF THEIR INTERESTS.

BUT, THEY ARE LOOKING AT ALTERNATIVES BECAUSE THEY DO RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING OUTDOOR SPACE FOR THE CLIENTELE THAT ARE USING THE TEMPORARY DAY SHELTER, THE SHELTER OVERALL.

THEY HAVE INDICATED TO US THAT THEIR INTENTION IS TO SERIOUSLY LOOK AT ALTERNATIVE LOCATIONS.

ONE THEY WERE LOOKING AT IS ZONED ALREADY AT WITH A CONDITIONALLY PERMANENT USE.

ANOTHER ONE THEY WERE LOOKING AT, WE WERE LOOKING INTO TO SEE WHAT THE POTENTIAL COULD BE.

OF COURSE, THEY HAVE SAID IF ALL ELSE FAILS, THEY MAY SEE ABOUT WHAT THEY COULD DO TO SECURE ONGOING THE BUILDING THAT THEY'RE CURRENTLY IN.

WE HAVE MADE IT CLEAR TO THEM THAT WE REALLY WISH THERE HAD BEEN A LOT MORE ATTENTION PAID PROACTIVELY TO ESTABLISHING A GOOD NEIGHBOR AGREEMENT, TO HAVING A FORUM WHEREBY DISCUSSIONS COULD HAPPEN WITH SOME OF THE BUSINESSES IN THE AREA THAT ARE IMPACTED.

CERTAINLY, THERE'S BEEN A LOT MORE IMPACTS AS TO WHETHER IT'S GOTTEN WARMER.

WE HAVE ENCOURAGED THOSE BUSINESSES TO REACH OUT DIRECTLY ANYTIME THERE'S ANY INCIDENT THAT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH THAT THEY NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH THAT'S RUNNING THAT FACILITY.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT AS A COMMUNITY HOW IT IS THAT WE CAN HAVE FACILITIES THAT SUPPORT VULNERABLE PEOPLE, THAT SUPPORT PEOPLE THAT ARE PERHAPS LESS FORTUNATE IN LIFE THAN SOME OF US.

WE HAVE TO FIGURE THAT OUT AND WE WANT TO WORK WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO DO SO.

WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION BACK TO THEM ON THE TWO POTENTIAL SITES THAT THEY'D IDENTIFIED.

WE HAD SAID TO THEM IF THEY HAD INTEREST IN LOOKING AT THE FORMER MINE RESCUE BUILDING ON A LONG-TERM BASIS.

THEY WOULD NEED TO GO THROUGH PROCESS PURSUANT OR ZONING BY LAW.

THEY WOULD NEED TO REQUEST THAT THEY NEED TO START SOONER THAN NOT IF THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT THE FALL.

WE WILL BE WORKING MORE WITH THEM AS WE LOOK AT IDENTIFYING THE FEASIBILITY OF A COUPLE OF OTHER OPTIONS THEY'RE LOOKING AT SO THEY CAN MAKE A DECISION ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO WORK.

BUT WE CERTAINLY LOOK FORWARD TO THINGS IMPROVING IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA. THANK YOU.

>> THANKS FOR THAT. LET'S SAY THEY VACATED AT THE END OF JUNE OR WE JUST GOING TO PICK UP WITH OUR RFP THAT WE HAD OPENLY FALL OR A USER GROUP FOR THAT BUILDING OR WE'RE GOING TO GO OUT AGAIN.

HOW DO WE PLAN TO FIND A WONDERFUL TENANT FOR THAT LOCATION.

>> MISS BASSI KELLETT?

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, YOUR WORSHIP AND THANKS TO THE QUESTION.

WE KNOW WE DID AWARD TO A TENANTS LAST SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, I THINK IT WAS BEFORE THEY HADN'T MOVED IN BY THE TIME THAT THE GNWT ASKED TO OCCUPY THAT SPACE.

WE DO HAVE SOME TENANTS THAT ARE VERY KEEN TO GET IN THERE.
