[5. A memorandum regarding whether to amend Zoning By‐law No. 5045 to permit a ‘campground’ on a portion of Lot 3, Block 569, Plan 4219 (adjacent to 127 Braden Boulevard).]

NEXT, WE HAVE A MEMORANDUM REGARDING WHETHER TO AMEND ZONING BYLAW NUMBER 5045 TO PERMIT A CAMPGROUND ON A PORTION OF LOT THREE, BLOCK 569, PLAN 4219 ADJACENT TO 127 BRADEN BOULEVARD.

MS. BASSI-KELLETT. DID YOU WANT TO INTRODUCE THE ITEM? BEFORE I GO OVER TO OUR FIRST PRESENTER, WHICH IS LESLIE CABOT FROM STANTEC.

MISS BASSI-KELLETT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MADAM CHAIR.

SO CITY ADMINISTRATION HAS RECEIVED A REQUEST TO USE A PORTION OF A LEASED PROPERTY AS A COMMERCIAL 22 SITE CAMPGROUND.

THIS REQUIRES AN AMENDMENT TO OUR ZONING BYLAW FOR A SITE SPECIFIC USE.

SHOULD COUNCIL WANT TO APPROVE THIS USE? BECAUSE THE ZONING BYLAW CURRENTLY DOESN'T ALLOW CAMPGROUNDS HERE AS EITHER A PERMITTED USE OR AS A DISCRETIONARY USE.

THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE KAM LAKE SOUTH ZONE AND IS CURRENTLY USED FOR SOD FARMING.

ADMINISTRATION HAS REVIEWED THIS AND RECOMMENDS THE AMENDMENT AS IT COMPLIES WITH THE SPIRIT AND INTENT OF THE COMMUNITY PLAN, WHICH PERMIT WHICH IT SUPPORTS.

FORGIVE ME COMMERCIAL RECREATION AND TOURISM IN THIS AREA.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

LESLIE, IF YOU ARE WITH US, I SEE YOU'RE ONLINE.

I'LL TURN THE FLOOR OVER TO YOU IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE ISSUE.

THANK YOU YOUR WORSHIP, AND IT IS A PLEASURE TO BE HERE AND PRESENTING IN FRONT OF YOU.

I WISH I COULD BE THERE IN PERSON, BUT MY COLLEAGUE DENNIS KALFUS IS THERE, AND HE CAN ALSO SUPPORT THIS APPLICATION AND PROVIDE INFORMATION.

SO I'M LESLIE CABOT.

I AM A SENIOR PLANNER WITH STANTEC.

I AM A REGISTERED PLANNER IN THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES AND NUNAVUT THROUGH THE ALBERTA INSTITUTE OF PLANNING, AND SO STANTEC WAS HIRED BY THE ARCTIC FARMER, WHO, AS YOU KNOW, IS A LOCAL COMPANY AND HAS AS YOU'VE BEEN TOLD, A LEASE ON A PARCEL OF LAND ON KAM LAKE.

THE ARCTIC FARMER ON A PORTION OF THIS PARCEL WAS HAD IDENTIFIED AN AREA FOR 22 CAMPSITES, RV CAMPSITES AND THAT ACTIVITY WAS OCCURRING LAST SUMMER IN THE AND THE AND THE TIME BEFORE.

YET IT WAS NOT AN APPROVED CONDITION OR APPROVED ACTIVITY AS PART OF THE LEASE, AS THIS PROPERTY IS LEASED FROM THE CITY OF YELLOWKNIFE AND OWNED BY THE CITY OF YELLOWKNIFE.

SO IN KEEPING WITH AND IN WANTING TO BRING THE LEASE IN COMPLIANCE AND ALSO TO SUPPORT THIS COMMERCIAL RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY, WHICH IS SUPPORTED BY YOUR OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN, BY YOUR COMMUNITY PLAN, AND ALSO BY THE INTENDED USES IN YOUR ZONING BYLAW IN THE KAM LAKE SOUTH TWO AREA.

SO COMMERCIAL RECREATION IS A PERMITTED USE.

HOWEVER, CAMPGROUNDS IS NOT SPECIFICALLY PERMITTED, AND YOU HAVE A, YOU HAVE A DEFINITION IN YOUR ZONING BYLAW FOR CAMPGROUNDS, AND BECAUSE IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE KAM LAKE [INAUDIBLE] ZONE THIS AMENDMENT IS BRINGING BEING BROUGHT FORWARD.

SO AS YOU WILL OR AS WE HAVE DETERMINED WITH OUR RESEARCH FOR CAMPGROUNDS AND WHERE CAMPGROUNDS ARE TRADITIONALLY PERMITTED, THEY DO SUPPORT THE ACTIVITY OF COMMERCIAL RECREATION, AND AS THIS IS AN AREA WITHIN YOUR BOTH YOUR COMMUNITY PLAN AND THE ZONE THAT SUPPORTS COMMERCIAL RECREATION, IT IS FELT THAT IT WAS AN APPROPRIATE ASK FOR A REZONING AMENDMENT SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS PARCEL.

[00:05:02]

THERE MAY BE AND ADMINISTRATION HAS NOTED THAT THERE MAY BE SOME SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS FOR THIS SITE, AND THOSE WOULD BE INCLUDED IN A SUBSEQUENT APPLICATION OR THE NEGOTIATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT.

I'M JUST GOING TO LEAVE IT LIKE THAT.

I DO APPRECIATE YOUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND WORKING WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT THROUGH THIS APPLICATION.

THANK YOU, YOUR WORSHIP.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MISS CABOT? SEEING NONE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, LESLIE, FOR COMING AND PRESENTING TODAY.

OPENING IT UP TO QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, DISCUSSION FROM COUNCIL ON THE REZONING.

COUNCILLOR WARBURTON.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

MOST OF MY QUESTIONS ARE ACTUALLY FOR ADMINISTRATION.

SO WITH THIS REZONING, WOULD THIS BE A PERMITTED USE OR DISCRETIONARY USE THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO HERE? MS. BASSI-KELLETT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE QUESTION, MISS WHITE.

THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.

IT WOULD BE A PERMITTED USE ON THIS SITE ONLY.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

THANKS. SO THE CONDITION WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, WHICH I'LL GET TO LATER AROUND IT THAT WOULD BE DEVELOPED PERMIT STAGE OR IS THIS A STAGE? THOSE CONDITIONS WOULD BE SET AT THE REZONING.

MS. BASSI-KELLETT.

MISS WHITE, THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.

IT WOULD BE AT THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, WHICH WOULD BE A CONDITION OF THE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

NEXT QUESTION IS AROUND THE ROAD.

SO THERE'S SOME UPGRADES TO THAT ROAD.

IT'S REQUIRED.

FIRST QUESTION IS THAT ACTUALLY IS THAT A CITY ROAD CURRENTLY UP TO THE SITE? MS. BASSI-KELLETT, MISS WHITE.

THANK. EXCUSE ME.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I WILL ACTUALLY ASK IF MISS NEWTON COULD RESPOND TO THAT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THAT PORTION CURRENTLY IS A ROAD.

HOWEVER, IT HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED WITH THE FULL STANDARD FOR ACCESS FOR A LARGE DEVELOPMENT AT THIS TIME.

IT'S JUST BEEN DEVELOPED FOR A SMALL ACCESS ROAD.

OKAY. GREAT. SO THAT ROAD IS A CITY ROAD.

IS THERE A REASON WE HAVEN'T MAINTAINED IT TO THE CITY CURRENT STANDARD, OR IS IT JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE DIFFERENT STANDARDS FOR DIFFERENT ROADS? MS. BASSI-KELLETT.

MISS NEWTON.

THANK YOU. GENERALLY, WE WOULD DEVELOP A ROAD TO THE STANDARDS FOR WHAT IT IS ACCESSING.

SO AT THIS POINT IN TIME, BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY ACCESSING A SOD FARM, IT WAS NOT DEVELOPED TO THE STANDARD AS, SAY, A DOWNTOWN CITY ROAD.

IT'S BASICALLY BEEN DEVELOPED TO A ONE LANE ACCESS ROAD.

AWESOME. LAST QUESTION. SO ONCE THIS IS IMPROVED AND BUILT OUT, THAT WILL BE REFLECTED ON THE PROPERTY TAXES OR ON THE LEASE RATE.

WHERE DOES THAT REFLECT THOSE IMPROVEMENTS? MS. BASSI-KELLETT MISS WHITE, THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.

SO THEY WOULD BE PAYING A LEASE SIMILAR TO THEY ARE WHAT THEY'RE PAYING NOW, WHICH IS REFLECTED THROUGH THE FEES AND CHARGES BYLAW.

SO IT WOULD WHAT WE'D BE LOOKING AT IS SOME SORT OF CONTRIBUTION FROM THE APPLICANT.

SO UPGRADES WOULD BE BUILT INTO THAT.

NOT THAT WE WOULD NECESSARILY PAY IT OVER TIME.

HOWEVER. WE, WE WOULD, WE COULD LOOK AT IT.

IT WOULD JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE FOLLOWING OUR CITY BYLAWS ON HOW WE DEAL WITH THE COST.

THANK YOU. AWESOME.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? COUNCILLOR PAYNE.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

JUST A QUESTION. RIGHT NOW THE APPROVAL IS FOR 22 CAMPSITES.

SO WITH THIS BEING A PERMITTED USE, ARE THERE GOING TO BE ANY ISSUES WITH FUTURE EXPANSION OF THAT CAMPGROUND? MS. BASSI-KELLETT.

THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION, MISS WHITE.

THANK. THANK YOU.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M LOSING MY VOICE TODAY.

SO THE PERMITTED USE WILL ALLOW THAT ON THE SITE.

SO RIGHT NOW THEY'RE ASKING FOR THE 22 UNITS.

THAT IS THE NUMBER OF SITES THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE KIND OF LAID OUT, AND SO I THINK THEY WERE JUST ASKING FOR WHAT HAS BEEN BEEN USED ON THE SITE GOING FORWARD, IF THEY DID WANT TO UPGRADE IT IT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO BEING ABLE TO SERVICE IT, MAKING SURE THAT YOU KNOW, FIRE SUPPRESSION CONSIDERATIONS HAVE ALSO BEEN TAKEN INTO ANY PROPOSED FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.

[00:10:06]

THEY AGAIN, AS LONG AS THE WORDING SAYS PERMITTED USE CAMPGROUND.

IT'S NOT TIED TO 22, 23, 24 SPECIFIC UNITS.

SO, AGAIN DEPENDENT ON SERVICING, IT COULD BE EXPANDED IN THE FUTURE.

CAN YOU GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF FIRE SUPPRESSION? MS. BASSI-KELLETT.

MISS WHITE. SO THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.

IN THESE AREAS WE ARE ON TRUCKED WATER AND TRUCK SEWER SERVICES, AND SO THERE WILL BE A CONVERSATION WITH THE APPLICANT ON WHAT WE MAY NEED ON SITE SHOULD SOME SORT OF STRUCTURE FIRE OCCUR.

SO THAT WILL BE A CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE PROPOSED DEVELOPER, THE CITY WITH WITH OUR FIRE CHIEF AND THEIR STAFF, AS WELL AS PLANNING STAFF TO SEE HOW WE CAN SITE THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

SO IT COULD BE ON SITE TANK, IT COULD BE WHAT CAPACITY WE HAVE WITH OUR EQUIPMENT.

SO WE HAVE TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS.

BOTTOM LINE IS ANYTHING THAT GOES IN THERE BECAUSE IT'S PRIVATE OR IT'S TRUCKED SERVICES, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ADDRESSING THAT.

SO IT'S SAFE.

SO PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY IS CONSIDERED.

THANK YOU OKAY.

THANK YOU. ANYTHING FURTHER.

SEEING NONE SEEING GENERAL SUPPORT FOR THIS.

I DO THINK THAT WHEN I TAKE A LOOK AT THE USE A CAMPGROUND AND THE ZONE YOU KNOW, COUNCIL HAS TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE IMPACT ON THIS USE IN THE PROPERTIES IN THE AREA.

SO THE AIRBORNE EMISSIONS, ODORS, SMOKE, TRAFFIC AND NOISE, SUN SHADOW AND WIND EFFECTS, I DON'T THINK THIS USE WILL HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE PROPERTIES AROUND THAT.

IN THOSE REGARDS, THE APPEARANCE IN THE NATURE OF THE USE, IS IT COMPATIBLE WITH AND COMPLEMENTARY TO THE SURROUNDING AREAS? I WOULD SAY YES, AND THE TREATMENT PROVIDED TO THE LOT CONSIDERATIONS INCLUDING LANDSCAPING, PARKING, LOADING, OPEN SPACE, LIGHTING AND SIGNS.

AGAIN, I DON'T THINK IT WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE SURROUNDING AREA IN THAT REGARD.

SO WITH THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, I WOULD BE IN SUPPORT OF CREATING THE SITE SPECIFIC USE ON THIS LOT.

WE WILL BRING THIS FORWARD FOR FIRST READING TONIGHT AT 7 P.M, AND FOLLOWING THAT, WE WILL HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING ON MONDAY, MARCH 25TH AT 7 P.M.

AND SO THE CITY CLERK CAN ISSUE THAT NOTICE.

SO IT'LL BE THE PUBLIC HEARING, AND THEN AT THE PUBLIC HEARING WHETHER WE HEAR PROS OR CONS OR MAYBE NOTHING THEN WE CAN DECIDE IF WE WANT TO GO TO SECOND AND THIRD READING AFTER THAT, OR IF WE WANT TO DO A SUMMATION OF COMMENTS AND CONSIDERATION, BUT FOR NOW, WE'LL DO FIRST READING 7 P.M.

TONIGHT. PUBLIC HEARING, MARCH 25TH AT 7 P.M..

[4. A memorandum regarding whether to repeal and replace Land Administration By‐law No. 4596, as amended.]

ON THE NEXT ITEM IS THE WHETHER TO REPEAL AND REPLACE THE LAND ADMINISTRATION BYLAW NUMBER 4596, AS AMENDED.

MS. BASSI-KELLETT, IF YOU'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE THE ITEM.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SO CITY ADMINISTRATION IS PROPOSING A COMPREHENSIVE UPDATE TO THE LAND ADMINISTRATION BYLAW, AND TODAY WE ARE PLEASED TO PRESENT THE DRAFT.

WE HAVE WORKED TO ADDRESS THE INTERNAL ISSUES THAT HAVE ARISEN UNDER THE CURRENT BYLAW AND TO FRAME THINGS WITHIN THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK WITHIN WHICH WE OPERATE WHEN ADMINISTERING LAND.

WE ALSO HAVE WORKED TO SEEK OUT PUBLIC PERSPECTIVES ON THE PROPOSED DRAFT BY REACHING OUT TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AND KEY STAKEHOLDERS.

I'LL TURN THINGS OVER TO GREG LITTLEFAIR, MANAGER OF LANDS AND BUILDING SERVICES, TO PRESENT ON THE PROPOSED ADMINISTRATION BYLAW AT THIS TIME.

OVER TO YOU, GREG. GOOD AFTERNOON.

THANK YOU, YOUR WORSHIP.

FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT TO YOU TODAY THE REVISED LAND ADMINISTRATION BYLAW FOR THIS PRESENTATION.

I'M GOING TO CALL IT THE LAB.

SO YES, WE'LL BE DOING LAB WORK TODAY.

HOPEFULLY THERE'LL BE A QUIZ WITH THREE QUESTIONS.

THREE ANSWERS. YES OR NO.

I REALIZE THE LAB'S NOT AS EXCITING AS THE BUILDING BYLAW.

HOWEVER, THE LAB IS USED ALMOST EVERY SINGLE DAY BY THE FOLKS IN THE BACK, SO IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF LEGISLATION FOR US.

THE CTV ACT, PART THREE, SECTIONS 53 TO 55, LAY OUT THE FRAMEWORK FOR ACQUIRING AND DISPOSING OF THE LANDS, AND DEFINE THE LAB AS A BYLAW THAT PROVIDES FOR PROCEDURES, TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR MAKING ACQUISITIONS, DISPOSALS OR OTHER ACTIVITIES IN RELATION TO REAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE MUNICIPAL CORPORATION.

IN OTHER WORDS, THE LAB TAKES THESE THREE SECTIONS AND OPERATIONALIZES THEM.

[00:15:06]

IT PROVIDES GRANULAR DETAILS OF HOW THE CITY'S LAND OWNERSHIP, ACQUISITION AND DISPOSAL WILL BE ADMINISTERED.

OF COURSE, THERE'S OTHER LEGISLATION STATUTES THAT INFLUENCE LAND ADMINISTRATION, SUCH AS THE LAND TITLES ACT, REGS, AND I FORGOT TO HIT THE BUTTON.

THE ALSO COMMUNITY PLANNING ZONING BYLAW ALSO INFLUENCE LAND ADMINISTRATION, BUT SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT AS THEY LOOK AFTER THEIR USE PER SE.

AS NOTED, THE LAB IS MANDATORY BY LAW IF THE CORPORATION WISHES TO ACQUIRE OR DISPOSE OF LAND.

SECTION 53 OF THE CTV ACT STATES A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION MAY NOT ACQUIRE REAL PROPERTY UNLESS COUNCIL HAS MADE A LAB, AND THE ACQUISITION IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THAT BYLAW, AND THE ACQUISITION IS SPECIFICALLY AUTHORIZED OR APPROVED BY A BYLAW.

THE SECOND SECTION, 54, IMPOSES THE SAME OBLIGATION FOR DISPOSAL OF REAL PROPERTY, WITH ONE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE; IN THE END IS CHANGED TO AN OR. IN OTHER WORDS, IF WE HAVE A LAB, THE CITY IS NOT REQUIRED TO HAVE A SPECIFIC BYLAW TO DISPOSE OF PROPERTY.

CURRENTLY WE HAVE A LAB AND WE HAVE BEEN USING SPECIFIC BYLAWS TO DISPOSE OF PROPERTY.

THIS DRAFT BYLAW PROPOSES WE APPLY THE OR AND REMOVE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR INDIVIDUAL DISPOSAL BYLAWS.

DISPOSAL OF LAND IS THE LAST STEP IN A LONG PUBLIC PROCESS.

STARTING WITH THE COMMUNITY PLAN ZONING BYLAW AREA DEVELOPMENT PLANS ONCE COUNCIL'S APPROVED THE AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

ONE OF THE VERY LAST STEPS IS THE SALE OF THE INDIVIDUAL LAND.

THE LAST SECTION, 55 STATES THE LAB MUST CONTAIN THE DETAILS OF HOW THE LAND WILL BE REQUIRED AND DISPOSED OF.

WE BELIEVE THE PROPOSED CHANGES ARE INTENDED TO SIMPLIFY CLARIFY HOW THE CITY WILL DO JUST THAT, USING PLAIN LANGUAGE AND FOLLOWING INDUSTRIES' BEST PRACTICES.

THIS BYLAW IS THEREFORE CRITICAL TO PROVIDE A FAIR PROCESS, EQUAL ACCESS AND FAIR PRICING, AVOIDING FAVORITISM, CONFLICT OF INTEREST, AND SPECULATION ON MUNICIPAL LANDS.

THIS BYLAW IS WRITTEN WITH THESE GOALS IN MIND AND SHOULD BE REVIEWED USING THIS LENS.

SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT CHANGES.

SEVERAL OF THE DEFINITIONS HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT THE CURRENT PRACTICES.

AS MENTIONED, DISPOSAL OF LAND.

IS NOT REQUIRED TO HAVE A BYLAW.

REMOVAL OF THE SECTION THAT ALLOWED FOR CONTRIBUTION TO A DEVELOPMENT AS IT HAD CAUSED.

IT HAD MULTIPLE INTERPRETATIONS, CREATED COSTS FOR THE MUNICIPALITY AND CREATED CONFLICTS.

WE'VE ADDED CLARITY ON HOW QUARRY LEASES ARE TO BE DEVELOPED.

NOW, GRANTED, MOST OF THE CHANGES ARE SMALL COMPARED TO THE OTHER REPEAL AND REPLACE THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT FORWARD BY OUR DEPARTMENT.

HOWEVER, THE REVISED BYLAW WAS WRITTEN IN PLAIN LANGUAGE, AND TO DO THAT, ALMOST EVERY SENTENCE AND PARAGRAPH WAS CHANGED, AND THEN WE REARRANGED THEM TO TRY TO MAKE IT AN EASIER READ AS WELL.

THEREFORE, THE REPAIR REPEAL AND REPLACE IS THE MOST EFFICIENT, CLEAR, AND CONCISE WAY TO UPDATE THE LAB.

IN CLOSING.

THE REVISED LAB IS A SOLID BASE FROM WHICH FROM THE LEGISLATE LEGISLATION FROM WHICH COUNCIL WILL BE ABLE TO GROW ON OVER TIME.

I WAS LUCKY TO GET TO BE HERE TO PRESENT THE DRAFT BYLAW, BUT IT WAS A FULL CITY TEAM EFFORT.

I'D LIKE TO THANK SENIOR MANAGEMENT FOR GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT DURING THE PROCESS.

LOSING MY PEN AND OF COURSE, IF WE WERE IN THE NAVY, I'D LIKE TO SAY A BIG BRAVO ZULU TO THE LANDS OFFICERS AND THE PLANNING COORDINATOR AS THEY DID THE MAJORITY OF THE HEAVY LIFTING, AND THEY USE THIS BYLAW EVERY SINGLE DAY, AS I SAID BEFORE, AND OF COURSE, IT WAS A FULL TEAM. SO I WOULD HAVE TO THANK THE EXECUTIVE ASSISTANTS WHO HAVE LEARNED THAT YOU CAN'T TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS.

SO IN THE FORMATTING FALLS APART IN THE WORD DOCUMENT.

[00:20:02]

THEY JUST FIX IT FOR ME.

FINANCE AND PUBLIC WORKS FOR THEIR REVIEWS, LEGAL, AND OF COURSE, THE OFFICE OF THE CLERKS FOR THEIR STEADFAST PROFESSIONALISM WHEN WE'RE PULLING IT ALL TOGETHER.

THANK YOU. I'LL BE HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU.

COUNCILLOR WARBURTON.

THANK YOU, AND THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION.

I HAVE QUITE A FEW, SO IF YOU NEED TO SIT, FEEL FREE.

SO LET'S PULL UP THE LIST HERE.

SORRY. I'M JUST GOING TO PULL IT UP HERE SO I CAN REFERENCE IT.

SORRY. SO THE FIRST QUESTION WOULD BE THE SECTION WHICH I'M SURE WE'RE GONNA GET A LOT OF CONVERSATION AROUND IS SECTION ONE, PART 213.

I GUESS THE GOVERNMENT SHALL NOT SUPPOSE THE TERRITORY COMMISSIONERS LAND WITHOUT THE CITY OF YELLOWKNIFE BASICALLY APPROVING IT.

JUST SOME BACKGROUND ON ON THIS BECAUSE MY UNDERSTANDING IS WE CAN'T DIRECT A HIGHER LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT TO DO ANYTHING.

MS. BASSI-KELLETT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT, AND CERTAINLY THE PARAMOUNTCY OF LAWS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE VERY CONSCIOUS OF, AS WE DO ENGAGE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR OWN BYLAWS. WE ARE LOOKING AT THE OVERALL CONTEXT.

OF COURSE, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF DEFINING DOCUMENTS THAT THE GNWT HAS THINGS INCLUDING THE MUNICIPAL LANDS POLICY, THEIR LAND DISPOSAL POLICY AND THE COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT ACT THAT ALL SPEAK TO THE ROLE OF MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS VIS A VIS THE GNWT WHEN IT COMES TO OUR AUTHORITY WITHIN OUR BOUNDARIES.

SO I WILL ASK MISS THISTLE TO SPEAK AT A HIGH LEVEL IN TERMS OF THE LEGAL PARAMETERS AROUND THIS.

THANKS. SO EXCUSE ME.

THE NOTE IS BOUND BY THE COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT ACT, AND AS SUCH, THE NOTE IS BOUND TO FOLLOW BYLAWS DIRECTLY FLOWING FROM THAT ACT.

IT'S OUR POSITION THAT THE LAND ADMIN BYLAW IS FUNDAMENTAL TO THE ORDERLY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT OF CITY LAND, AND TO ALLOW THE GNWT TO BRING PARCELS ONLINE WITHIN OUR BOUNDARIES DOESN'T ALIGN WITH BEST PLANNING PRACTICES OR THE GNWT'S OWN POLICIES, SPECIFICALLY THE GNWT'S LAND DEVELOPMENT POLICY SECTION 12, WHERE A DEVELOPMENT OF COMMISSIONERS LAND MUST BE IN AGREEMENT WITH THE COMMUNITY IN AGREEMENT WITH THE COMMUNITY GOVERNMENT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT, AND I AGREE WITH ALL THAT.

WE'VE SEEN GNWT COMPLETELY DISREGARD THEIR RULES AND DO LAND DEVELOPMENT ANYWAY.

THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY LIKE.

SO I'M JUST HESITANT TO HAVE US IN HERE BECAUSE I HONESTLY DON'T THINK THEY'RE GOING TO CARE, AND THEY'RE GOING TO.

THEY SHOULD, BUT I THINK IT'LL BE CONTESTED, I THINK, AT SOME POINT, AND THEN NEXT ONE IS ACQUISITION BY THE CITY.

SORRY. SECTION.

GIVE ME A SECOND HERE. I'LL SKIP THAT ONE.

GO RIGHT TO DISPOSAL.

PART THREE.

SO I'M SOMEONE THAT WANTS TO BUILD A WATER PARK IN YELLOWKNIFE, AND I WANT A CHUNK OF DIRT THAT'S NOT CURRENTLY ON THE MARKET.

CAN YOU WALK ME THROUGH THAT ENTIRE PROCESS CURRENTLY FROM THEM INQUIRING TO, IN THEORY, THEM HAVING THE DIRT? MS. BASSI-KELLETT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE QUESTION, MISS WHITE.

THANK YOU. I'LL TRY TO GIVE A HIGH LEVEL PROCESS KIND OF OUTLINE.

SO IF IT IS LAND THAT IS CURRENTLY FOR SALE BY THE CITY, SO NOT ON THE PRIVATE MARKET BUT BY THE CITY YOU WOULD GO TO OUR LAND DISPOSAL SITE, THERE'S PROPERTIES FOR SALE.

THERE'S AN APPLICATION FORM YOU WOULD FOLLOW.

JUST A REGULAR DISPOSAL PROCESS.

IF IT WAS LAND THAT IS NOT CURRENTLY ON THE MARKET BY THE MUNICIPALITY.

I GUESS THERE'S A COUPLE DIFFERENT WAYS.

ARE YOU CURRENTLY A LEASEHOLDER? UNDER THIS BYLAW AND A PREVIOUS BYLAW, WE GIVE PRIORITY.

I DON'T WANT TO CALL IT FIRST RIGHT OF REFUSAL, BUT WE WOULD HAVE CONVERSATIONS IF THERE WAS A LEASEHOLDER AND THEY WERE INTERESTED.

IF THEY WERE NOT A LEASEHOLDER, THEN IT WOULD ACTUALLY COME TO COUNCIL.

WE WOULD HAVE A CONVERSATION OF, IS THIS LAND THE MUNICIPALITY NEEDS PRIOR TO ANY CONSIDERATION OF WHETHER THE LAND SHOULD BE SOLD, AND THAT WOULD BE A COUNCIL DECISION AFTER THAT, IF IT WAS DECIDED DISPOSAL WAS THE BEST PATH FORWARD FOR WHATEVER REASON.

THEN IT WOULD COME BACK TO ADMINISTRATION AND IT WOULD FOLLOW THE SAME PROCESS AS WE DO FOR ALL OTHER DISPOSAL.

SO YOU MAKE AN APPLICATION WE GO THROUGH WE HAVE TO HAVE AN APPRAISAL DONE CREATING CONTRACT FOR PURCHASE, ETC..

DEPENDING ON THE USE, YOU MAY HAVE TO GO THROUGH A LAND USE PLANNING PROCESS.

SO IF IT WASN'T ALREADY ON THE MARKET LET'S SAY IT DIDN'T HAVE AN APPROPRIATE DESIGNATION.

[00:25:01]

COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENT PROCESS IS PUBLIC.

ZONING PROCESS IS PUBLIC.

SO DEPENDING ON IF THERE'S A SUBDIVISION AS WELL ALL OF THOSE ARE PUBLIC PROCESSES, AND THEN YOU WOULD COME TO THE LAND ADMIN.

SO I BELIEVE WHAT WE'RE HOPEFULLY GOING TO SEE WITH THE NEW LANGUAGE IN THIS BYLAW IS COMPRESSION OF THE LAND ADMINISTRATION PORTION OF IT, BECAUSE THE REMAINDER IS LEGISLATED TO BE MORE OF A PUBLIC PROCESS.

HOPEFULLY THAT ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

MOSTLY SO WE CURRENTLY DO BALLOT DRAW TENDERS.

SO IF SOMEONE WANTED A CHUNK OF DIRT RIGHT NOW, AND I'M ASSUMING UNDER THIS NEW BYLAW, THERE'S STILL NO ABILITY FOR THEM TO GO THROUGH ALL THAT WORK AND THEN HAVE THE OPTION ON THAT LAND. IT STILL HAS TO GO THROUGH THOSE PUBLIC PROCESSES LIKE SO THEY CAN DO ALL THAT WORK, AND THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THERE'S NO THEY DON'T GET THAT DIRT.

THEY HAVE TO BID LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

IS THAT CORRECT? MS. BASSI-KELLETT? MISS WHITE.

I'M NOT SURE I ENTIRELY UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION, BUT WHAT I WILL SAY IS, IF WE HAVE GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS AND WE'VE MADE IT TO A SUBDIVISION, THEN WE AS THE CITY, HAVING MADE IT TO THAT SUBDIVISION PROCESS, THEN WE'RE AT A POINT WHERE WE'RE READY TO DISPOSE OF THE LAND BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY BEEN THROUGH ALL OF THOSE PROCESSES. IF YOUR QUESTION IS, CAN A PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNER GO THROUGH THE COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENT, ZONING AMENDMENT, AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN, WHICHEVER IT'S REQUIRED, AND GET TO THE END OF IT AND NOT BE GUARANTEED TO SELL IT? SO WE'RE NOT THE SUBDIVISION AUTHORITY.

THE GNWT IS THE SUBDIVISION AUTHORITY.

SO IF COUNCIL APPROVES ALL OF THOSE PUBLIC PROCESSES, ZONING IS IN PLACE.

THE SUBDIVISION WOULD ACTUALLY COME TO US AS AN AGENCY BEING CONSULTED.

WE WOULD REVIEW IT.

HOPEFULLY WE WOULD BE PROVIDING.

YES, IT MEETS ALL OF THESE CRITERIA TO THE GNWT, AND THEY WOULD HOPEFULLY APPROVE THE SUBDIVISION, BUT WE ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE THAT FINAL SAY.

SO IN THE END IT WOULD HOPEFULLY BE APPROVED AND THEY COULD HOPEFULLY DISPOSE OF IT.

SO TWO DIFFERENT PROCESSES.

IF IT'S US, THEN IT'S MORE GUARANTEED.

IF IT'S A PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNER, IT'S NOT.

THANK YOU. SORRY I'M TRYING TO SO BASICALLY LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, THERE'S COMMISSIONERS LAND.

THERE ARE LOTS ON [INAUDIBLE].

RIGHT, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO BUY THOSE LOTS, BUT IF THEY GO THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS, IN THE END THAT JUST GOES TO TENDER OR BALLOT DRAW.

CORRECT. MS. BASSI-KELLETT. MISS WHITE.

SO THIS IS A PROCESS WHEREBY THE CITY HAS MADE APPLICATION TO THE GNWT FOR THE LAND AND IT'S NOT JUST THIS PROPERTY, THERE'S OTHERS.

WE'VE GOT MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS OUT RIGHT NOW WHEN THAT COMES TO US, AND WE TURN TO A PROCESS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO DISPOSE OF IT.

SO WE'VE GONE THROUGH THE PLANNING GONE THROUGH ANY SUBDIVISION THAT'S REQUIRED THEN.

IT IS AN OPTION TO DO A BALLOT DRAW RIGHT NOW.

THERE IS A LARGE DESIRE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY TO PURCHASE LANDS FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, AND SO ANY NEW LOTS CURRENTLY THAT WE ARE BRINGING ON, WE WOULD DO THROUGH BALLOT DRAW, AND THIS IS EVIDENCED BY JUST THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO MADE PROPOSALS THROUGH THE BALLOT DRAW PROCESS LAST YEAR FOR TWO LOTS. SO WE KNOW THERE'S INTEREST OUT THERE AND IT IS A FAIR AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO POTENTIALLY PURCHASE IT.

SO DEPENDING ON WHAT THE SIZE IS, WHERE THESE PROPERTIES ARE LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY, THERE COULD BE A DIFFERENT DESIRE.

HOWEVER, WE KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW THERE IS A STRONG NEED AND WANT FOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES.

THANK YOU. AWESOME.

OKAY, GOING ON TO NUMBER NINE.

IT'S STILL SECTION PART THREE.

NUMBER NINE. BASICALLY THE CITY HAS A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL TO REACQUIRE THE LAND OR ANY IMPROVEMENTS PLACED THEREON.

IF SOLD, TAX EXEMPT.

IS THERE A REASON THERE'S NOT SOME REFERENCE THERE TO MARKET VALUE OF THOSE IMPROVEMENTS, OR IS THAT CAPTURED IN SOME OTHER BYLAW OR RULE? MS. BASSI-KELLETT.

THANKS. IT'S CAPTURED, BUT, MISS WHITE, OVER TO YOU.

YES, IT IS CAPTURED.

SO IT'S UNDER NOT JUST THE DEFINITION OF DEVELOPMENT COSTS, BUT ALSO LATER ON IT'S BASICALLY.

YEAH, ANY IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE SITE ITSELF.

SO IT IS CAPTURED WITHIN THIS DRAFT BYLAW.

THANK YOU. OKAY, SO IF WE TOOK SOMETHING BACK FROM A TAX EXEMPT SALE, WE WOULD COMPENSATE THEM FOR THOSE IMPROVEMENTS.

IS THAT MY UNDERSTANDING, OR IS THAT NOT MS. BASSI-KELLETT, MISS HOYT? SO WE WOULD EXCUSE ME.

THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. WE WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT IMPROVEMENTS HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN MADE AND THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT THAT WE'VE SIGNED FOR THAT PURCHASE AGREEMENT.

SO IT WOULD EVERY SITE WOULD BE DIFFERENT.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. [INAUDIBLE] ONE NOW, PART FIVE.

ESTABLISHING THE PRICE OF LAND FEE.

SIMPLE PRICE OF LAND MUST BE EQUIVALENT TO APPRAISED VALUE OR DEVELOPMENT COSTS, WHICHEVER IS HIGHER.

[00:30:05]

SO CURRENTLY WE EITHER THAT'S THE PROCESS TO SELL IT, AND ANY DISCOUNT COMES TO COUNCIL.

CORRECT. MS. BASSI-KELLETT, MISS WHITE, THANK YOU.

YES, ANY DISCOUNT COMES TO COUNCIL IF WE WANT TO CALL IT THAT.

I WOULD JUST SAY IT'S AN ALTERATION IN THE PRICE, AND AS WELL, THERE ARE TIMES WHERE CERTAIN SOCIETIES MAY ASK FOR PIECES OF LAND AS WELL THAT ALSO WOULD COME TO COUNCIL.

THOSE ARE COUNCIL DECISIONS.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, SO I GUESS, BUT WHERE THIS QUESTION IS COMING FROM IS WE SAW LOTS IN [INAUDIBLE] SIT FOR SEVEN, TEN YEARS.

WE SAW A LOT WHERE WEST BAY CONDO WOULD SIT FOR NINE YEARS, AND SO.

THE ONLY WAY TO GET THOSE PRICES LOWER WAS REAPPRAISED, WHICH WON'T CHANGE THEM OR IS FOR US TO DIRECT IT TO GET CHEAPER.

IS THERE ANY MECHANISM IN HERE THAT ALLOWS, BECAUSE I'M NOT SEEING IT, THAT WOULD ALLOW YOU TO MOVE TO AN AUCTION OR KIND OF START MOVING THOSE LOTS IF THEY START SITTING FOR TOO LONG. MS. BASSI-KELLETT. MISS WHITE.

THANK YOU. SO AN AUCTION IS AN OPTION.

HOPEFULLY THAT WAS CLEAR.

AT ANY POINT. SO SAY WE DID A BALLOT DRAW, AND OUT OF TEN LOTS, HYPOTHETICALLY, EIGHT OF THEM WERE DISPOSED OF, AND WE WERE, YOU KNOW, LEFT WITH A COUPLE SHOULD COUNCIL WISH WE COULD BRING FORWARD THE IDEA THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS BE DONE BY AN AUCTION.

RIGHT NOW, WHAT WE DO IS WE PUT IT FOR SALE ON OUR LANDS FOR SALE SITE.

SO THAT IS ALWAYS AN OPTION.

ALL OF THE ITEMS THAT ARE LISTED HERE, WHETHER IT'S BIDDING PROCESS, PUBLIC TENDER, ETC.

ALWAYS AN OPTION.

PUBLIC TENDER WOULD BE MORE IF WE'RE LOOKING AT A COMPREHENSIVE AND LARGE DEVELOPMENT.

SO WE WOULD PUT OUT FOR, SAY, A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL.

WE'VE HAD SUCCESS WITH THAT RECENTLY, SO IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING WE LOOK FOR.

AGAIN, ADMINISTRATION WILL TAKE ALL THE DIFFERENT CONDITIONS INTO CONSIDERATION IN MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL TO MOVE FORWARD.

THANK YOU. THANKS.

YEAH. I'VE NEVER IN THE WHOLE TIME I'VE BEEN HERE SEEN LAND EVER MOVE IN PRICE.

THEY ONLY END UP SELLING IN THE END BECAUSE INFLATION EATS UP THE DIFFERENCE IN VALUE.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING IN THIS BYLAW, SOME KIND OF PROCESS OR STEPS THAT ARE KIND OF IN IT THAT LAY OUT HOW WE WOULD DISPOSE OF LAND IF IT DIDN'T.

IF I REALIZED WE HAD THE AUCTION OPTION FOREVER.

SO I'M CURIOUS WHY WE SAT ON DIRT FOR TEN YEARS AND DIDN'T SELL IT.

OKAY, THAT'S THAT QUESTION.

PART EIGHT, NEXT ONE.

THANK YOU, EVERYBODY, FOR THEIR PATIENCE.

[CHUCKLING] [INAUDIBLE] LITTLE BIT, BUT IT SAYS HABITAT FOR HUMANITY.

IS THERE A REASON IT'S NOT ALL NGOS ARE MORE GENERAL? MISS BASSI-KELLETT.

MISS WHITE. THANK YOU.

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

SO PREVIOUS MOTIONS FROM PREVIOUS COUNCILS HAVE SUPPORTED RESIDENTIAL ONLY DISPOSAL OF RESIDENTIAL LOTS TO HABITAT FOR HUMANITY, NWT AND IF WE TAKE A LOOK IN SECTION THREE, WE STILL HAVE A CLAUSE IN THERE THAT IDENTIFIES FOR NOT FOR PROFIT.

SO THEY COULD COME FORWARD AND MAKE A SIMILAR REQUEST TO COUNCIL SHOULD THEY WISH, AND WE'VE ALSO INCLUDED THEM IN THE DEFINITIONS AS WELL, BUT SPECIFIC FOR RESIDENTIAL.

IT'S SPECIFICALLY LISTS HABITAT FOR HUMANITY.

THANK YOU. AWESOME.

THANK YOU. PART NINE, IT KIND OF TIES INTO THE QUESTION FOR NUMBER FIVE, LAND DISPOSAL.

SO MY READ IS NO ONE CAN ASK OR GET A PIECE OF LAND THAT'S NOT ALREADY UP FOR SALE, ESSENTIALLY.

IT HAS TO GET TO THE SALE PROCESS, THE CITY, AND THEN THEY CAN PURCHASE IT.

MS. BASSI-KELLETT. MISS WHITE.

COULD I ASK FOR CLARIFICATION WHICH SUBSECTION WE'RE LOOKING AT, PLEASE? THANK YOU. PART NINE METHODS IN TERMS OF LAND DISPOSITION OF THE CITY.

NUMBER TWO BECAUSE OF THAT CLAUSE.

IT'S SAYING [INAUDIBLE]WAS A LAND TO A SPECIFIC INTENDED PURCHASER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS BYLAW.

SO YEAH, I WANT SOME CLARITY AROUND KIND OF WHAT WHAT THAT MEANS.

LIKE WHAT POINT CAN YOU THEN GO TO ONE PERSON, LIKE ONE PERSON, JUST BUY THE LOT, I GUESS, OR COME TO YOU FOR A LOT.

MISS BASSI-KELLETT.

MISS WHITE. SORRY.

THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION.

[00:35:04]

IN GENERAL AND LOOKING FOR OTHER OPPORTUNITIES, I WOULD JUST NOTE THAT THERE'S ALSO PROCESS THROUGH DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE BYLAW WHICH WOULD BE SEPARATE FROM THIS BYLAW WHERE WE COULD PUT INCENTIVES FOR LAND DISPOSAL THERE AS WELL.

THANK YOU. AWESOME.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT. VERY GOOD CLARIFYING QUESTIONS.

I AM NOT GOING TO BE IN SUPPORT OF THIS GOING FORWARD.

AT THE MOMENT. I REALLY NEED TO SEE SOME CHANGES TO HOW LAND IS DISPOSED.

I KNOW WE'VE HAD LOTS OF OPTIONS BEFORE TO SELL LAND, BUT WE CONTINUE TO SEE IT SITTING, AND IT'S REALLY HARD PROCESS FOR SOMEONE RIGHT NOW TO GET LAND THAT'S NOT ON MARKET. WE LOSE A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN THE CITY BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO DIRT AND THE CURRENT PROCESS FOR DISPOSAL IT JUST DOESN'T WORK LIKE IT NEEDS TO.

SO THIS TIME, I'D BE LOOKING FOR SOME CHANGES TO THAT AREA.

THANK YOU, DEPUTY MAYOR.

COCHRANE. THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOUR WORSHIP.

I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS FOLLOWED BY A COMMENT.

FIRST QUESTION IS THE GNWT SEEMS PRETTY ADAMANT THAT WE CAN'T GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS WITHOUT SIGNING THE MOA, EVEN BY THE FACT THAT IN THEIR PUBLIC COMMENTS THEY BRING UP THE QUESTION OF LEGAL. ARE WE CONFIDENT THAT THIS COULD STAND UP IN A LEGAL CHALLENGE? MS. BASSI-KELLETT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE QUESTION, AND CERTAINLY WE HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF THE NWT DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE THAT NOW HEADS UP THE LANDS FUNCTION ON THE MOA AND THE RELEVANCE ON THAT.

WE WERE NOT SEEING IT THAT WAY.

WE DON'T SEE WHAT THAT PROCESS WOULD EXPEDITE OUR ACCESS.

IN TERMS OF ACCESS TO IN TERMS OF OUR LEGAL POSITION.

MISS THISTLE SPOKE TO THAT EARLIER.

SHE CAN SPEAK TO THAT AGAIN, BUT WE HAVE DONE THIS WITH EYES WIDE OPEN WITH OUR LEGAL TEAM INVOLVED, MISS THISTLE, THE ONLY THING I WOULD ADD IS A LAWYER IS NEVER GOING TO GUARANTEE YOU A WIN.

THANK YOU, AND THAT'S VERY FAIR.

MY ONLY COMMENT MORE TO THAT ONE IS THAT I SEE THAT WE ARE REFERENCING POLICIES WHILE THE FORMULA FUNDING IS ALSO A POLICY, AND THEY DON'T REALLY SEEM TO CONSIDER THAT SOMETHING, THEY NEED TO FOLLOW THROUGH EITHER, BUT GOOD TO KNOW THAT WE'VE VETTED ENOUGH.

SECOND QUESTION IS TO SECTION EIGHT WHICH WAS BROUGHT UP WITH THE COUNCIL DIRECTIVE FOR THE EXEMPTION FOR HABITAT OF HUMANITY.

CAN I GET SPECIFICALLY WHEN THOSE MOTIONS WERE INTRODUCED THAT PUT HABITAT FOR HUMANITY AS PART OF THIS? MS. BASSI-KELLETT, THANKS VERY MUCH.

I THINK WE COULD DIG THAT INFORMATION OUT.

I DON'T THINK WE HAVE THAT READILY AVAILABLE AT THIS POINT, DO WE.

NO, WE'D GO BACK THROUGH COUNCIL MOTIONS AND WE COULD PROVIDE THAT? AS A FOLLOW UP ITEM? THANK YOU. I THINK IT WAS 2013 OR 14 THAT WE APPROVED THAT ONE, THOUGH.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, AND I DO SEE THAT IN SECTION THREE SIX.

WE BASICALLY HAVE MADE AN EXEMPTION FOR THAT FOR SOCIETIES ACT AS WELL, BUT I'M CURIOUS WHY WE CHOSE THE LANGUAGE OF HABITAT OF HUMANITY AND NOT JUST PUT A SOFTER LANGUAGE FOR NON-PROFITS.

I THINK IT'S BECAUSE HABITAT FOR HUMANITY APPROACHED COUNCIL AND MADE THE REQUEST THAT WE GET INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THEN THE AGREEMENT SAID WE WOULD GIVE X NUMBER OF LOTS EVERY X NUMBER OF YEARS, OR BASED ON THE NUMBER OF SALES.

SO IF COUNCIL WANTED TO DIRECT ADMINISTRATION TO GO BROADER WITH THIS, I WOULD ASSUME THAT ADMINISTRATION'S JUST NOT COMING FORWARD TO COUNCIL TO RECOMMEND GOING BROADER BUT RECOMMENDING THAT WE STAY THE COURSE WITH WITH HABITAT FOR HUMANITY BUT MS. BASSI-KELLETT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, AND THAT SUMMARIZES VERY NICELY.

MISS WHITE, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD? THANK YOU FOR THAT. YES, I DO BELIEVE AS WAS NOTED BEFORE, IT WAS 2014, THEY CAME FORWARD AND DID A PRESENTATION.

SO THEY MADE A SPECIFIC ASK AND IT WAS SPECIFIC TO THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES.

SO NOT ALL PROPERTIES, WHEREAS THE OTHER SOCIETIES WOULD BE ALL PROPERTIES, THEY COULD COME AND MAKE AN ASK.

SO WE CAN DEFINITELY PULL THAT UP.

IT WAS A NUMBER OF PROPERTIES PER YEAR AND BASED ON THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SALES.

SO FOR EVERY X AMOUNT OF DOLLARS THAT WAS SOLD IN LAND, THAT WOULD EQUAL TO A LOT TO BE GIVEN TO HABITAT FOR HUMANITY.

SO THERE WAS AN ACTUAL FORMULA BUILT INTO THAT RESOLUTION.

THANK YOU, AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MY COMMENT IS I WOULD ACTUALLY PREFER TO SEND THIS BACK TO ANOTHER GPC SO WE CAN GO CLAUSE BY CLAUSE.

THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION IN HERE THAT I PREFER JUST TO GO AS I JUST STATED, CLAUSE BY CLAUSE, SECTION BY SECTION, AND PROPERLY GIVE THIS THE REVIEW I THINK IT NEEDS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

YEAH. MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD GO BACK TO ADMINISTRATION TO DO THAT, AND THEN I'LL COME FORWARD TO A GPC AFTER THAT.

[00:40:02]

ANYTHING FURTHER? COUNCILLOR HENDRICKSEN.

THANK YOU TO THE OTHER TWO MY COLLEAGUES WHO HAVE WIPED THE TABLE CLEAN OF MOST THINGS, WHICH IS AWESOME.

MUCH MORE EFFICIENT THAT WAY.

MY ONE IS A VERY TECHNICAL PIECE, AND IT'S PROBABLY FOR LEGAL, BUT AROUND FROM ADMIN THE DEFINITION OF PLANNING ADMINISTRATOR CHANGING TO SPECIFICALLY REFERENCE A POSITION IN ADMINISTRATION.

SO JUST WONDERING FROM A, PARDON ME, AN OPERATIONAL POINT OF VIEW IF THAT TITLE EVER CHANGES, DO WE HAVE TO UPDATE THE BYLAW OR DOES IT JUST SORT OF BECOME A KNOCK ON EFFECT WHERE WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CHANGING THAT BECAUSE THAT'S, YOU KNOW, IT JUST ADDS TO HAVING TO MONITOR BYLAWS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

MS. BASSI-KELLETT, THANKS VERY MUCH.

BEFORE I THROW IT TO MISS THISTLE, I WILL SAY THAT WHEN WE'RE REFERENCING A TITLE THAT THE SENIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM MEMBER, IF IT IS A DIRECTOR, DOES HAVE THE ABILITY TO DELEGATE AS WELL. SO IT'S SEEN AS BEING IN THAT PERSON'S HANDS AND THEY ARE ABLE TO DELEGATE.

IN TERMS OF CHANGING TITLES, I WILL ASK MISS THISTLE TO WEIGH IN.

IT SPECIFICALLY REFERENCES PLANNING ADMINISTRATOR BECAUSE THAT'S IN THE COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT ACT, AND YOU'LL SEE THE DEFINITION INCLUDES OR DESIGNATE.

SO IT COVERS IT OFF.

IF THE COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT ACT CHANGES TERMS, THEN YES, WE WOULD AMEND THE BYLAW TO MATCH THE COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT ACT, BUT I THINK PERHAPS COUNCILLOR HENDRICKSEN IS ASKING, LIKE IF WE CHANGE IT TO THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DO WE NEED TO UPDATE THE BYLAW? BECAUSE CURRENTLY IT SAYS THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT, MS. BASSI-KELLETT. MISS THISTLE.

POTENTIALLY, YES.

SO WITH THAT, THEN I'LL LEAVE IT TO.

THAT'S NOT ONE THAT I'M GOING TO STICK ON, BUT JUST FROM AN ADMINISTRATIVE PERSPECTIVE, JUST GOING THROUGH IT, IF WE'RE GOING THIS CLAUSE BY CLAUSE OR JUST THINK MAYBE LIKE, DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO CHANGE IT TO THIS OR JUST STICK WITH A CITY MANAGER APPOINTED? I'M NOT SOMETHING FOR ME TO STAY ON A LIKE DIE ON, BUT IT WAS JUST A THOUGHT.

THANK YOU. COUNCILLOR PAYNE.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

I'M DEFINITELY IN SUPPORT OF WHAT COUNCILLOR COCHRANE HAS BROUGHT FORWARD TO BRING IT BACK, CLAUSE BY CLAUSE IN A FUTURE GPC.

I DO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE ALL THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE ON THIS.

LIKE, YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB, AND I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE.

THANK YOU.

YEAH. I'LL HOLD MOST OF MY QUESTIONS FOR COMING BACK.

THE CLAUSE BY CLAUSE. I HAD A FEW, LIKE, DEFINITION OF COUNCIL.

I DO HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT DEFINITION OF DEVELOPMENT COST, AND JUST WONDERING WITH THE TERM PLANNING, COULD IT INCLUDE THE COSTS OF GETTING A CONSULTANT TO DO AN AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO ACCELERATE BRINGING LAND TO MARKET? MS. BASSI-KELLET.

MISS WHITE. THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.

A FEW COUNCILS AGO, MAYBE LAST SUMMER THE IDEA THAT THE DEFINITION WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN OUR LAND ADMINISTRATION BYLAW SHOULD BE UPDATED WAS BROUGHT FORWARD BY COUNCIL.

JUST THAT, KNOWING WE WERE LOOKING AT THIS, WE SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT ALL OPTIONS.

SO WE ACTUALLY ADDED THIS LANGUAGE SPECIFICALLY TO ALLOW FOR ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE IN THE REALM OF, QUOTE UNQUOTE PLANNING.

SO FROM AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN OR COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE WORK THAT LAND STAFF DO, WHICH IS THE SUBDIVISION AND THEN ANY OF THE SERVICING IN THERE.

SO ALL OF THAT IS ENCOMPASSED.

THANK YOU. PERFECT.

THANK YOU. YEAH.

FOR MYSELF REGARDING DISPOSAL, INTERESTED TO AGAIN IN THE CLAUSE BY CLAUSE AND LIKE WHY IT'S BEING PROPOSED FOR ME IF IT'S, YOU KNOW, LIKE ENGEL OR GRAYSLAKE, WE HAVE AN AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

WE'VE SEEN AND APPROVED EACH LOT LAYOUT.

I WOULD BE OKAY WITH THE NO DISPOSAL BYLAW SINCE IT'S GONE THROUGH THAT PUBLIC PROCESS.

COUNCIL'S APPROVED THE LOTS, BUT THERE ARE OTHER OTHER OTHER EXAMPLES OF GROWTH MANAGEMENT, SUBSTANDARD LOTS, ETC.

THAT DON'T GO THROUGH THE PUBLIC PROCESS, AND SO I DON'T SEE A CLAUSE THAT SAYS ADMIN COULDN'T SELL THOSE LOTS WHERE THEY, THEY COULD CURRENTLY SELL THEM. SO JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND MORE ABOUT HOW THIS PROPOSED CHANGE WOULD IMPACT THOSE OPERATIONAL THINGS, AND THEN, YEAH, THE REMOVAL OF, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW, COUNCIL HAS DISCRETION TO AUTHORIZE THE SALE OR LEASE AT LESS THAN APPRAISED VALUE, AND RIGHT NOW I'M NOT SEEING ANY AUTHORITY FROM COUNCIL TO DO THAT.

SO AGAIN, LOOKING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THAT, AND I WOULD SAY THOSE ARE ALL MY COMMENTS.

I DO RECOGNIZE COUNCIL'S CONCERNS THAT THE GNWT JUST IS GOING TO DISREGARD OUR BYLAWS, BUT IF OUR BYLAWS ARE ALIGNED WITH ACTS, IT DOES BY ACTUALLY INCLUDING IT IN THE BYLAW, MAKE IT MAKE THEM HOLD IT TO A HIGHER STANDARD, AND IF THEY ARE GOING TO DISREGARD OUR BYLAW, THEY HAVE MORE EGG ON THEIR FACE THAN JUST BEING

[00:45:09]

LIKE, WELL, YEAH.

SO, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE DAY SHELTER, THEY HAD TO FOLLOW THE ZONING BYLAW BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT ACT, AND SO IN LOOKING AT THEIR LAND DISPOSAL POLICY, IT'S QUITE CLEAR THAT THE LAND IS SUPPOSED TO FLOW THROUGH TO THE MUNICIPALITY AND THEN TO PRIVATE DEVELOPER, AND WE'VE HAD EXPERIENCES IN THE PAST, YOU KNOW, CALL IT BLOCK 501 LAKEVIEW, GNWT DID A SWAP, AND THEN THEY CAME AND SPOKE OUT AT THE ZONING BYLAW TO REZONE THAT TO RESIDENTIAL, AND SO IT DOES CREATE CONFLICT WHEN THEY DON'T ACTUALLY FOLLOW THEIR MUNICIPAL LANDS, BYLAW OR POLICY.

SORRY. GOING AROUND, TOO, COUNCIL WARBURTON.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. I'LL ASK IT NOW.

I FOUND THE QUESTION I SKIPPED OVER BEFORE.

SO, WHEREAS IT IS.

PART TWO.

NUMBER ONE. NUMBER FOUR.

SEE BASICALLY SAYS REFUSE APPLICATIONS PROPOSED USE IS PROHIBITED OR CONTRADICTS RELEVANT POLICIES OR REGULATIONS.

WHEN THIS COMES BACK, I POKE THE BEAR HERE.

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT FLESHED OUT MORE IN REFERENCE TO BASICALLY WHAT THOSE ARE.

I KNOW THE RESPONSE IN THE Q&A WAS, WELL, IT'S ON THE PROPONENT TO UNDERSTAND THAT PUTTING ALL THAT ON SOMEONE THAT'S TRYING TO ACQUIRE LAND IS A VERY ONEROUS THING TO DO.

WE SHOULD HAVE MORE OF A ABILITY FOR THEM TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, HERE'S A LIST OF POLICIES AND PROCESSES.

IT SHOULDN'T BE SO AMBIGUOUS.

THANKS. THANK YOU.

ANYTHING FURTHER? SEEING NONE.

WE WILL SEND THIS BACK TO ADMINISTRATION.

COME BACK WITH A CLAUSE BY CLAUSE WITH A EXPLANATION ON THE RATIONALE FOR THE CLAUSE CHANGE.

SO IT WILL NOT BE GOING TO FIRST READING TONIGHT, AND WE WILL, AND NOT A PUBLIC HEARING LATER THIS MONTH.

SO JUST SO THAT'S CLEAR.

THANK YOU AGAIN, THOUGH. I THINK WE'VE GOT THE BULK OF IT, BUT AS NOTED BY ADMINISTRATION, IT IS A REALLY IMPORTANT BYLAW.

SO MAKING SURE THAT WE UNDERSTAND WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED, AND THEN WE CAN SIGN OFF WITH EYES WIDE OPEN WITH THAT.

[6. A memorandum regarding the 2024 Round Tables/Community Gatherings.]

THE NEXT ITEM IS A MEMORANDUM REGARDING THE 2024 ROUNDTABLES AND COMMUNITY GATHERINGS.

ANY QUESTIONS COMMENTS, DISCUSSION FROM COUNCIL.

DEPUTY MAYOR COCHRANE. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

MY QUESTION IS FOR THE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS LOCATION B.

I'M ASSUMING WE CHOSE THE YK COMMUNITY ARENA LOBBY IN CASE WE GET TO CAPACITY IN THERE.

WE COULD JUST MOVE IT INTO THE LARGER SECTION OF THE COMMUNITY ARENA.

MS. BASSI-KELLETT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YES, THAT'S CORRECT. IT'S EASILY ACCESSIBLE.

THERE'S A SMALL SPACE THERE.

IT'S LARGER THAT WE CAN MOVE DOWN.

IT GIVES US A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY IN TERMS OF HOW WE'RE SHARING INFORMATION ON FIRE SMARTING.

THANK YOU, AND THANK YOU.

OUTSIDE OF THAT, FULLY AGREE WITH THE DRAFT.

PLANNING AROUND THE COMMUNITY TABLE OR THE ROUNDTABLES COMMUNITY GATHERINGS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE WORK YOU'VE PUT INTO THIS.

THESE LOOK FANTASTIC.

THANK YOU, COUNCILLOR HENDRICKSEN.

DITTO WHAT DEPUTY MAYOR COCHRANE JUST SAID, I DO HAVE TWO COMMENTS I GUESS ONE MORE FOR MY COLLEAGUES IS WE HAVE TALKED IN THE PAST WHEN WE WERE ESTABLISHING THESE TO COMMIT TO AT LEAST LIKE TWO, TWO OF US TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE AT EACH ONE OF THEM.

SO I GUESS JUST WHEN DO WE WANT TO DO THAT? WHETHER WE DO THAT YOU KNOW, NOW OR SINCE WE HAVE A FEW PEOPLE PUT IT ON A FUTURE GPC, BUT BEFORE THE APRIL 27TH MEETING.

SO THAT WOULD JUST BE ONE THING.

AGAIN, WE ALL SHOULD BE IF WE CAN SHOW UP, BUT JUST WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S THAT COUNCIL REPRESENTATION, AND THEN THE OTHER THOUGHT THAT I HAD WAS FOR SOME OF THE FARTHER OUT DATES, I APPRECIATE THE LOGIC OF NOT HAVING NAILED DOWN DATES.

ABSOLUTELY. AS WE GET FURTHER OUT, IT'S HARDER TO SORT THOSE OUT, BUT MAYBE 1 TO 3 OPTIONS, EVEN FOR SOME OF THOSE FARTHER OUT WHEN IT ACTUALLY COMES FOR FINAL APPROVAL AT COUNCIL ONLY BECAUSE THINKING SO THAT AS COUNCIL IS DECIDING WHICH ONES CAN THEY ATTEND, THEY START TO PLAN THAT INTO THEIR [INAUDIBLE] OR INTO THEIR CALENDARS, BUT ALSO FOR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. IF THERE'S AN ISSUE THAT THEY REALLY WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN, THEY CAN HAVE A BETTER IDEA THAT IF, IT'S SAY, I KNOW IT'S ONE OF THE THREE WEEKS IN JUNE, THEN I CAN PLAN TO BE THERE AS OPPOSED TO JUST LEAVING IT BROADER, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, LIKE DEPUTY MAYOR COCHRANE SAID, THANKS FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER.

I KNOW THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR SEVERAL OF US, AND I THINK IT'S A REALLY GOOD STEP FORWARD.

MS. BASSI-KELLETT, WOULD ADMIN BE ABLE TO NAIL DOWN SOME MORE CONCRETE DATES FOR THOSE LATER ONES? THANKS VERY MUCH, AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE THAT COUNCIL IS SO COMMITTED TO BEING PART OF THESE AND SO COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE THE PUBLIC HAS AS MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE. Q4 FOR CLIMATE CHANGE IS REALLY LOOKING AT THE WORK THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING, HOW OUR SUMMER UNFOLDS.

[00:50:05]

LET'S BE BLUNT. THAT'S WHAT'S DRIVING THE TENTATIVE NATURE OF SOME OF THESE TIMELINES, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WE WILL BE DOING WORK TO WRAP UP OUR 2015 TO 2025 COMMUNITY AND CORPORATE ENERGY PLAN.

WE WILL BE THEN LAYING OUT A FRAMEWORK FOR WHAT OUR NEXT TEN YEAR PLAN LOOKS LIKE FOR CLIMATE MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION.

IT IS GOING TO INCLUDE AS WELL SOME IDEAS THAT WE WANT TO SEEK FROM THE PUBLIC, BUT WE ALSO WANT TO SHARE THE THINGS THAT WE'RE COMING UP WITH.

SO I REALLY APPRECIATE WHERE COUNCIL IS COMING FROM.

WE NEED TO REALLY THINK ABOUT I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS BACK TO SEE IF THERE IS A POSSIBILITY, AND MY CHALLENGE IS IF WE PUT DATES OUT AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE ARE FACED WITH A REALLY TUMULTUOUS SUMMER, THEN WE'VE PUT THESE DATES OUT THAT PEOPLE HAVE EXPECTATIONS THAT WE KNOW FROM.

LAST YEAR WE HAD TO PUSH EVERYTHING BACK.

SO ANYTHING INTO THE FALL, WE ARE VERY MUCH WANTING TO STICK WITH A QUARTER AS OPPOSED TO EVEN PUT POTENTIAL DATES JUST BECAUSE WE REMEMBER VIVIDLY WHAT IT WAS LIKE RESCHEDULING A LOT OF THINGS IN SUMMER OF 2023.

SO IF COUNCIL IS PATIENT WITH US, WE'LL DO IT.

WE UNDERSTAND THE POINT YOU'RE DRIVING AT THAT YOU WANT TO SEE IF THERE IS SOME OPPORTUNITY FOR CERTAINTY, BUT WE WILL NEED TO TAKE THIS AWAY BECAUSE IT'S VERY HARD KNOWING THAT WE'RE FACED WITH A MYRIAD OF THINGS BEFORE WE GET TO THE LATTER HALF OF THIS YEAR, IF I CAN, ON THE ARTS AND CULTURE.

WE ARE LOOKING AT IT.

THAT'S QUITE TENTATIVE, AND THAT IS BECAUSE THE SAME PLAYERS THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THE ARTS AND CULTURE MASTER PLAN IN OUR COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT ARE GOING TO BE FULL BORE IN GETTING OUR AQUATIC CENTER READY TO GO.

WE'RE ANTICIPATING A Q1 2025 OPENING AND SO WE ARE, OF COURSE, GOING TO BE JUGGLING AS MUCH WORK AS WE CAN IN THOSE WINDOWS, BUT IT WILL BE THERE'S A LOT GOING ON CONCURRENTLY THAT WE WANT TO SEE AS WE GET CLOSER TO THOSE DATES AND AS WE GET PAST SUMMER AND THE HIGH RISK IN THE SUMMER, WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE.

THANK YOU. THE OTHER THING I'D SAY IS A LOT OF THEM ARE CONSULTANTS AND THEN LOCATIONS.

SO MAKING SURE WE'VE GOT AVAILABILITY.

HOWEVER, IF IT IS A DATES WILL BE ANNOUNCED AT MINIMUM SIX WEEKS IN ADVANCE.

THAT MIGHT BE THE WAY TO MITIGATE THAT.

I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO NECESSARILY HAVE LIKE A COUNCIL MOTION ON WHO'S GOING TO ATTEND WHAT.

I THINK WE CAN ALSO DO THAT VIA EMAIL WHEN STATES ARE THERE, AND THEN IT CAN ALSO BE A BIT OF A POINT OF NEGOTIATIONS WITH ADMIN OF.

YOU KNOW THAT DAY WAS SELECTED.

HOWEVER, NINE OUT OF THE NINE AREN'T AVAILABLE, SO YEAH, PERFECT.

SO [INAUDIBLE].

OKAY. THAT'S GREAT.

YEAH. ANYTHING FURTHER? SECOND ROUND. DEPUTY MAYOR COCHRANE, I THANK YOU SO MUCH, MADAM CHAIR.

THE ONLY THING I FORGOT TO SAY AS A COMMENT IS, I DO SEE THAT WE HAVE OUR PRIMARY LOCATION FOR MOST OF THESE IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS.

FROM MY EXPERIENCE OF HOLDING TOWN HALLS, IT'S BETTER SET IF YOU PUT THEM IN LOCATIONS THAT ARE [INAUDIBLE] SHALL WE SAY, LESS FORMAL? THE ONLY THING I WOULD ADD, IF WE COULD POSSIBLY CONSIDER USING OTHER RECREATIONAL FACILITIES, SAY, THE MEETING ROOMS AT THE LIBRARY OR THE AMP ROOM OVER AT THE MULTIPLEX FOR SOME OF THESE AREAS, OR EVEN THE TOURISM CENTER FOR ARTS AND CULTURE, WITH THE GALLERY LOCATED THERE, PROBABLY WOULD GET BETTER NUMBERS BUT AGAIN, PURELY A COMMENT.

THANK YOU.

YEAH. I THINK JUST RECOGNIZING PARKING AND ENSURING THAT THERE'S ADEQUATE SPACE DEPENDING ON THE, BUT YEAH, WE CAN TRY TO DIVERSIFY THE LOCATIONS.

SEEING NOTHING FURTHER.

LET ME DOUBLE CHECK.

WE WILL BRING THIS FORWARD ON IS THIS A BRING IT FORWARD OR IS THIS AN FIO? MR. CITY CLERK, DO WE NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE THAT? THE COUNCIL. YEAH, SORRY, THE COUNCIL APPROVED.

WE WILL BRING THIS FORWARD TO COUNCIL ON MONDAY, MARCH 25TH AT 7 P.M..

NEXT WE HAVE A MEMORANDUM REGARDING WHETHER TO AMEND FEES AND CHARGES BYLAW NUMBER 4436, AS AMENDED.

[7. A memorandum regarding whether to amend Fees and Charges By‐law No. 4436, as amended.]

MS. BASSI-KELLETT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MADAM CHAIR.

SO AFTER COUNCIL APPROVED AMENDMENTS TO THE FEES AND CHARGES BYLAW THAT REFLECT BUDGET 2024, ADMINISTRATION NOTED A COUPLE OF INADVERTENT OMISSIONS THAT REQUIRE A HOUSEKEEPING AMENDMENT.

SO THANKS VERY MUCH TO GPC MEMBERS FOR YOUR PATIENCE ON THIS, BUT WE ARE BRINGING THIS FORWARD WITH THE COUPLE OF SMALL AMENDMENTS THAT ARE NOTED IN THE MEMO AND HIGHLIGHTED IN THE ATTACHED FEES AND CHARGES BYLAW.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE.

WE WILL BRING THAT FORWARD TO COUNCIL ON MONDAY, MARCH 25TH.

I WOULD SAY WE'LL DO FIRST READING AT NOON, AND WE'LL DO SECOND AND THIRD READING AT 7 P.M.

THAT NIGHT. WITH THAT, WE'VE GOT ITEM NUMBER EIGHT, A MEMORANDUM REGARDING WHETHER TO AUTHORIZE THE EXPENDITURE OF $10,000 FROM THE

[8. A memorandum regarding whether to authorize the expenditure of $10,000 from the Heritage Committee budget to help fund the Yellowknife Historical Society’s Museum projects.]

[00:55:10]

HERITAGE COMMITTEE BUDGET TO HELP FUND THE ILLINOIS HISTORICAL SOCIETY'S MUSEUM PROJECTS.

MS. BASSI-KELLETT, ANYTHING TO ADD FROM ADMINISTRATION? SURE, JUST A LITTLE QUICK OVERVIEW.

WE ARE REALLY PLEASED TO SEE THAT THE YELLOWKNIFE HISTORICAL SOCIETY IS ON THE BRINK OF OPENING UP THE YELLOWKNIFE MUSEUM AFTER A LONG, STRONG EFFORT TO FUNDRAISE AND TO CONSTRUCT ON THE VERY COMPLICATED SITE THAT'S OUT BY GIANT MINE.

SO AT THIS POINT, THE SOCIETY HAS ASKED FOR $10,000 FROM THE HERITAGE COMMITTEE TO BE ABLE TO CROSS THE FINISH LINE, AND SO THE HERITAGE COMMITTEE, OF COURSE, HAS A CAP OF $3,000 THAT THEY CAN SPEND WITHOUT COUNCIL APPROVAL.

THEY HAVE RECOMMENDED THIS REQUEST, AND TO COUNCIL, THAT COUNCIL CONSIDER APPROVING THE $10,000 THAT THEY'VE MADE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, AND I NOTE THAT THEIR RIBBON CUTTING IS SCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY, MARCH 26TH, I BELIEVE AT 11 A.M.

IF FOLKS ARE INTERESTED.

ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? DEPUTY MAYOR? COCHRANE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MADAM CHAIR. [CHUCKLING] MY ONE QUESTION IS THIS THE CONTINUED MOTION WE HAD WHEN I WAS CHAIR, AND IS THIS JUST LIKE A HOUSEKEEPING MOTION, OR IS THIS A DIFFERENT ALLOCATION OF $10,000? DIFFERENT ALLOCATION.

SO THEY CAME FORWARD FOR A REQUEST TO FUND THE OPERATIONS AGAIN, AND THE COMMITTEE WAS IN SUPPORT AGAIN TO SUPPORT THE MUSEUM.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, AND HOW MUCH HAVE WE ALLOCATED FROM HERITAGE TO THE YELLOWKNIFE HISTORIC SOCIETY ON THIS PROJECT SO FAR? I THINK THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR BECAUSE BEFORE THAT THEY WERE ACCESSING IT THROUGH COMMUNITY GRANTS, BUT MS. BASSI-KELLETT PERHAPS WOMEN WOULD HAVE TO GET BACK WITH THAT INFORMATION.
