Mar 25, 2024 Governance & Priorities Committee

SO INSTEAD OF GOING BACK AND FORTH IN PUBLIC, WE WILL RECESS.

[00:00:03]

[1. Opening Statement]

NEXT, WE HAVE APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA.

[2. Approval of the agenda]

I'D LIKE TO ADD ONE MORE IN-CAMERA ITEM, WHICH IS A MATTER UNDER NEGOTIATION.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

NEXT, WE HAVE DISCLOSURE OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND THE GENERAL NATURE THEREOF.

DOES ANY MEMBER HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST TODAY? SEEING NONE.

[4. A memorandum regarding Planning and Development Department Service Level Standards.]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MADAM CHAIR.

WITH PLEASURE. SO IN OCTOBER 2023, COUNCIL DIRECTED ADMINISTRATION TO CONFIRM SERVICE LEVEL STANDARDS FOR THE PROCESSES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN DEVELOPING LAND AND PROPERTIES. SERVICE LEVEL STANDARDS ARE IMPORTANT ACROSS THE BOARD, AND ADMINISTRATION IS WORKING TO DEVELOP A STANDARDIZED APPROACH FOR ALL PUBLIC FACING CITY SERVICES AS PART OF OUR ASSET MANAGEMENT PLAN.

HOWEVER, COUNCIL DID WANT TO SEE SERVICE LEVEL STANDARDS FOR PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT AS THESE ALIGN WITH THE STRATEGIC PRIORITY OF ACCELERATING DEVELOPMENT, PARTICULARLY HOUSING.

SO WE ARE PRESENTING THESE IN ADVANCE OF THE FULL ASSET MANAGEMENT FRAMED SERVICE LEVEL STANDARDS.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THESE STANDARDS ARE PREDICATED ON A COUPLE OF KEY THINGS.

RECEIVING A COMPLETE APPLICATION FROM APPLICANTS, HAVING A FULL STAFF COMPLEMENT WITHIN PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT, AND MY PERSONAL FAVORITE THAT THERE ARE NO EMERGENCIES OR CRISES OUTSIDE OF THE CITY'S CONTROL IMPACTING SERVICE DELIVERY, MUCH AS WE SAW IN 2023.

SO I'M VERY PLEASED ON THAT NOTE TO TURN THINGS OVER TO MISS WHITE, OUR DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT, TO A WALK THROUGH A BRIEF PRESENTATION ON THESE STANDARDS.

CHARLSEY, OVER TO YOU.

THANK YOU FOR THE INTRODUCTION THAT REALLY MAKES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SOUND EXCITING.

SO ON THAT NOTE, LET'S LOOK AT SOME LEGISLATION.

OKAY, SO PUBLIC FACING SERVICES IS REALLY WHAT WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT FOR THE PAST ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS.

AND WE'RE LEGISLATED TO PROVIDE SPECIFIC SERVICES AND WE THEN FOLLOW THOSE PIECES OF LEGISLATION WITH MUNICIPAL BYLAWS.

SO WHETHER THAT'S LAND ADMIN ZONING, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF THEM AND I'VE LISTED THEM HERE.

AND I WANTED TO NOTE THAT WHAT WE DON'T HAVE IS A LEGISLATED STEP BY STEP PROCESS.

SO IN SOME AREAS, SOME MOSTLY IN THE PROVINCES, IT SAYS YOU DO THIS, THEN YOU DO THIS, SOME EVEN GO THE NEXT STEP FURTHER AND SAY YOU WILL DO THIS WITHIN 30 DAYS.

YOU WILL THEN DO THIS WITHIN 60 DAYS.

NONE OF THAT IS INCLUDED EITHER IN OUR LEGISLATION OR IN OUR MUNICIPAL BYLAWS.

SO, AS MENTIONED, COUNCIL PASSED A MOTION REQUESTING THAT WE COME WITH COME FORWARD WITH OUR SERVICE LEVEL STANDARDS THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING IN DEVELOPING IN THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

WE'VE ALSO BEEN WORKING ON STANDARDIZING OUR PROCESSES AND UPDATING OUR SOFTWARE.

FOCUS HAS BEEN, LIKE I SAID, ON OUR EXTERNAL CLIENTS.

SO THIS DOESN'T INCLUDE INTERNAL PROJECTS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON, FINANCIAL REPORTING PROJECTS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS AS WELL WITHIN THE CITY. THIS IS THE MOST POPULAR, I WOULD SAY, OF THE SERVICES THAT ARE DELIVERED.

BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE ATTACHMENT TO THE MEMO THAT LISTS ALL OF OUR PUBLIC FACING SERVICES, THESE ARE MOST FREQUENTLY USED AS WE DELIVER THESE TO OUR CLIENTS, WHICH IS USUALLY THE PUBLIC AS AN APPLICATION.

AND WE HAVE WORKED TO TAKE EACH ONE OF THESE AND BREAK THEM APART INTO STEPS.

SO WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? HOW DOES IT COME IN? WHAT DO WE DO WHEN WE RECEIVE IT? AND THE PROCESSES AND THE TIMELINES THAT WE'VE LISTED AS THE ATTACHMENT TO THE MEMO ARE BASED ON HOW WE HAVE TRADITIONALLY PROCESSED THIS.

AND WHAT WE DID WAS WE TOOK SOME OF THOSE PROCESSES AND LOOKED AT WHAT ARE WE LEGISLATED TO DO, WHAT ARE WE ACTUALLY DOING TO PROCESS IT, AND CAN WE MOVE SOME OF THESE AROUND TO MAKE IT FLOW BETTER, MAKE IT MORE EFFECTIVE? DO TWO THINGS AT ONCE, BASICALLY LOOKING TO REDUCE THE TIME FRAME THAT IT'S TAKING TO MOVE ITEMS ALONG, AS WELL AS WAYS THAT WE CAN RUN PROCESS AT THE SAME TIME. SO IF IT'S A LAND AT THE SAME TIME AS A ZONING OR SEEING WHERE WE CAN MOVE THINGS TOGETHER IN TANDEM.

WE'VE ALSO LOOKED AT OUR BYLAWS THAT WHICH IS WHAT WE FOLLOW HERE AND WAYS THAT WE CAN REDUCE STEPS IN OUR BYLAWS AS WELL.

SO IF WE WERE ABLE TO, AGAIN, MERGE THINGS OR REMOVE THINGS FROM A PROCESS THAT WAS IN A BYLAW, THEN WE HAVE BROUGHT THAT FORWARD.

SOME OF OUR BYLAWS HAVE RECENTLY BEEN UPDATED.

SOME ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BEING UPDATED.

SO WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT ACTIVELY AS WE BRING THINGS FORWARD TO COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION.

AND WHAT WE ALSO DID IS WE HAVE SOFT LAUNCHED ALL OF THESE CHANGES AND WE'VE BEEN TRACKING JUST TO SEE.

[00:05:06]

WE TOOK A LOOK AT OUR OWN TURNAROUNDS.

AND SO WHAT WE WERE DOING BEFORE WE MADE SOME OF THESE PROCESS CHANGES AND HOW ARE WE DOING NOW? SO AS AN EXAMPLE, ON THE CHART THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE MEMO, YOU'LL SEE AS A ZONING AMENDMENT, AS AN EXAMPLE, AS 120 DAYS, THE LAST ONE WE PROCESSED.

AND YES, WE'VE ONLY PROCESSED ONE SINCE THE NEW ZONING BYLAW HAS BEEN IN EFFECT WAS 86 DAYS.

SO THAT SHOULD GIVE YOU A TIMELINE.

WE'RE SAYING 120 AS THE MAX, MAYBE FOR A MORE COMPLICATED ONE.

BUT THIS ONE WE WERE ABLE TO DO IN 86.

SO WE ARE TRACKING THOSE.

THE PROCESS.

WE, AS I SAID, HAVE STANDARDIZED IT.

EVERY APPLICATION, EVERY DEVELOPMENT THAT COMES FORWARD, PRESENTED TO OUR DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO FOLLOW THE SAME STEP.

AND THE VERY FIRST THING WE WANT TO DO IS HAVE WHAT WE'RE CALLING A PRE-DEVELOPMENT MEETING.

THIS IS WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO TELL US WHAT IT IS YOU WANT TO DO.

IT'S THE SAME IF YOU'RE BUILDING A HOUSE VERSUS APARTMENT BUILDING VERSUS NEW INDUSTRIAL USE, ALL OF THEM, WE WANT YOU TO CONTACT US AND PROVIDE US WITH YOUR PLAN OF WHAT YOU'RE WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING TO DO.

AND AT THAT MEETING, IT MAY JUST BE WITH A PLANNER BECAUSE YOU ARE MAYBE JUST DOING A HOUSE, OR WE WILL BRING IN OTHER DEPARTMENTS AS REQUIRED.

SOMETIMES IT'S PEOPLE, OUR ENGINEERS FROM PUBLIC WORKS, SOMETIMES IT'S FROM PUBLIC SAFETY.

WE'LL BRING EVERYBODY TO THE TABLE, KIND OF A ONE STOP SHOP, BECAUSE MAYBE WE'VE IDENTIFIED THAT YOU NEED ZONING AS WELL AS A BUILDING PERMIT AS WELL AS SOME OTHER ITEMS. SO WE'RE GOING TO BRING WHOEVER IT IS TO THAT ONE TABLE.

WHAT WE'RE ALSO DOING AFTER THAT FIRST MEETING IS WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE THE APPLICANT A LIST OF ALL THE ITEMS WE DISCUSSED DURING THE MEETING AND WHAT A COMPLETE APPLICATION IS ACTUALLY GOING TO LOOK LIKE FOR YOU AND YOUR DEVELOPMENT.

IT WILL OUTLINE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE DOING ZONING, HERE'S WHAT WE NEED YOUR BUILDING PERMIT.

HERE'S WHAT WE NEED. WE'LL ALSO GIVE YOU THE LINKS TO OUR WEBSITE, WHICH IS WHERE ALL OF THIS INFORMATION IS ALSO KEPT IF YOU NEED TO GO BACK AND LOOK.

AND THEN WE WILL ALSO AT THE SAME TIME IDENTIFY WHAT THE AVERAGE TIMELINE IS, BECAUSE NOW THAT WE HAVE IT ESTABLISHED, WE'LL SAY, OKAY, IT'S GOING TO TAKE X NUMBER OF DAYS TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS. YOU CAN DO THESE TWO THINGS AT THE SAME TIME.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS.

WE WON'T DESIGN FOR YOU, BUT WE WILL HELP YOU AS YOU GO THROUGH THE DIFFERENT STEPS.

AND THE WHOLE IDEA IS IF WE CAN SAVE YOU TIME AS THE APPLICANT AND MONEY IN APPLICATION FEES, THEN WE WILL DO THAT AND WE'LL IDENTIFY IT TO YOU AT THAT PRE-DEVELOPMENT MEETING.

SO RATHER THAN YOU MAKING AN APPLICATION FOR DEVELOPMENT, PERMIT US SAYING NO, YOU DON'T NEED THAT.

GO ON TO THE NEXT ONE.

THEN WE GO THROUGH AND REFUND IT.

YOU KNOW, YOU'VE TWO WEEKS LATER, YOU'RE NOW MOVING ON TO THE NEXT STEP.

SO IF WE CAN AVOID THAT AT THE BEGINNING, WE WILL.

SO AS I SAID, WE'VE SOFT LAUNCHED IT LAST YEAR TRYING TO WORK OUT A FEW KINKS.

AND SO AS OF JANUARY THIS YEAR, WE'RE NOW STARTING TO ACTUALLY RECORD SO WE CAN FOLLOW THROUGH TIME ALL OF THE APPLICATIONS TO A DECISION.

SO WE ALSO ARE LOOKING AT UPDATING OUR CITY VIEW, WHAT WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF UPDATING OUR CITY VIEW.

WE'RE IN THE TESTING PHASE RIGHT NOW.

AND WHAT THIS IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE IS CHANGE FOR THE USER BECAUSE IT'S NOW A WEB BASED SERVICE WHERE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GO ON AND LOG IN AND PUT IN FOR YOUR APPLICATIONS. WE'RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE A PAGE ON OUR WEBSITE AS WELL THAT YOU, AS THE APPLICANT, CAN MONITOR AND WATCH YOUR APPLICATION SO YOU'LL KNOW IF IT'S HAS A COMPLETE APPLICATION BEEN SUBMITTED? OH, DID I FORGET TO PAY MY FEE? I GUESS I SHOULD GO IN AND PAY MY FEE.

OH IT'S MOVING. IT'S GOING TO BE AT GPC ON WHICHEVER DATE, SO THOSE ITEMS WILL BE ABLE TO FOLLOW ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

ONCE A DECISION IS ON THERE, IT'LL BE IN KIND OF AN ARCHIVED PAGE, BUT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GO BACK AND BE LIKE, I THOUGHT MY NEIGHBOR DID X IN 2024.

OH YES, NOW I CAN GO AND FIND THAT AND ALL OF THAT INFORMATION WILL BE THERE.

AND A KEY POINT ON THIS IS OUR APPLICATIONS NOW INCLUDE A NOTICE SO THAT ALL APPLICANTS UNDERSTAND THAT THESE MATERIALS THEY'RE PUBLIC.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE RIGHT ON THERE.

THEY'RE GOING TO SIGN OFF ON IT.

AND WE WILL BE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS.

THIS IS STANDARD ELSEWHERE.

YOU CAN GO ON TO LOTS OF MUNICIPALITIES AND SEE ALL THE APPLICATIONS, WHAT'S COMING UP THE NEXT MONTH, ETC..

SO WE'RE MAKING THAT MOVE TOWARDS JUST BEING MORE OPEN AND EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO FIND INFORMATION.

[00:10:12]

SO PROBABLY THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK AFTER THE LONG HOLIDAY, ALL OUR NEW APPLICATIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE ONLINE.

AND AS I SAID, ONCE WE LAUNCH THE UPDATES TO CITY VIEW, IT WILL INCLUDE THOSE NEW MATERIALS AS WELL.

WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT WE HAVE KIND OF A STEP BY STEP THROUGH DROPDOWN ON OUR WEBSITE, WHICH ISN'T THE MOST USER FRIENDLY, BUT IT'S WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW.

WE ARE GOING TO BE WORKING WITH OUR FRIENDS AT IN COMMUNICATIONS, WHO ARE GOING TO HELP US DO JUST ONE PAGERS, SO YOU CAN KIND OF FOLLOW THE PROCESS FROM DOING A ZONING IT'S THIS, I'M DOING A BUILDING PERMIT IT'S THIS, I'M ASKING FOR LAND IT'S THIS.

SO YOU CAN JUST PULL IT UP AND SEE VISUALLY WHAT IT IS.

SOMETIMES THAT'S EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND.

CALLING THEM JUST THE FACT FAST FACT SHEETS KIND OF THING.

SO WE'LL BE WORKING ON THAT.

AND I THINK I HAVE COVERED EVERYTHING, SO IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU.

OPENING IT UP, DEPUTY MAYOR COCHRANE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOUR WORSHIP.

JUST FOR THE MONITORING AND REPORTING, HAVE WE IDENTIFIED ANY ISSUES ABOUT A BOTTLENECK SO FAR? MS. BASSI-KELLETT MISS WHITE.

SO I TURNED IT OFF.

GREAT. SO WE HAVE.

I'M NOT SURE IF YOU MEAN, IF WE RUN INTO ANY ROADBLOCKS TODAY WHERE WE'VE HAD TO MOVE SOME THINGS AROUND.

WHAT I CAN SAY IS WHAT WE HEARD FROM A NUMBER OF APPEAL HEARINGS AND THIS IS SPECIFIC TO DEVELOPMENT PERMITS, IS THAT THE PUBLIC WAS ALWAYS HEARING AT THE END BECAUSE IT WASN'T REQUIRED THAT WE GO OUT FOR PUBLIC CONSULTATION.

SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE BUMPED THAT ACTUALLY TO THE BEGINNING OF THE PROCESS, AND WE'RE NOW SEEING HOW THAT WORKS.

SO PEOPLE IN NEIGHBORHOODS ARE NOTIFIED AHEAD OF TIME BEFORE A DECISION IS MADE.

WE HAD PREVIOUSLY SOMETIMES GONE OUT BECAUSE IT SAYS WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT OFFICER FEELS THERE'S AN IMPACT.

WE'VE DECIDED ALL DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT, POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE.

SO WE'RE JUST BUMPING IT UP AND WE'RE DOING IT EVERY SINGLE ONE ALL THE TIME.

THANK YOU, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH.

COUNCILLOR WARBURTON.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR, AND THANKS FOR THAT.

SO I KNOW A LOT OF THE FRUSTRATION IS OFTEN AROUND WHAT DEFINES A COMPLETE APPLICATION.

SO I GUESS FROM YOUR PRESENTATION, YOU SAID THERE WOULD BE FACT SHEETS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE WE'RE GOING TO DO TO MAKE IT CRYSTAL CLEAR FOR BOTH THE USER AND US, WHAT A COMPLETE APPLICATION LOOKS LIKE? MS. BASSI-KELLETT.

THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION AND ONE THAT WE'VE WRESTLED WITH QUITE A BIT.

MISS WHITE, THANK YOU.

SO COMPLETE APPLICATION IS OUTLINED IN THE ZONING BYLAW.

SO THERE'S A LIST OF ALL THE ITEMS WE COULD POSSIBLY POTENTIALLY EVER ASK.

SO THAT'S NOT REALLY THE MOST HELPFUL THING.

SO THE PRE-DEVELOPMENT MEETING IS WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO TELL US WHAT IT IS YOU'RE DOING AND WHERE YOU CAN SAY, OKAY, BASED ON WHAT YOU'VE PROVIDED US, YES, YOU'RE GOING TO NEED TO DO A TRAFFIC STUDY IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING ALL OF THESE MATERIALS.

IN THAT LETTER WE THEN FOLLOW UP WITH IS GOING TO OUTLINE THIS, THINK OF IT AS A CHECKLIST, EVEN THOUGH IT'S IN THE FORM OF A LETTER WITH SOME BULLETS.

SO WE'RE HOPING THAT THESE ADDITIONAL STEPS WILL BE ABLE TO SAY, THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED IN ORDER TO DO A COMPLETE APPLICATION.

IF FOR SOME REASON THAT'S NOT ENOUGH, WHEN YOU DO MAKE YOUR APPLICATION, WE'RE DOING WITHIN 15 DAYS, WE'RE COMMITTING TO REVIEW IT AND RESPOND TO THE APPLICANT.

IS IT COMPLETE? YES.

YOU ARE NOW MOVING FORWARD.

IS IT INCOMPLETE? IT'S INCOMPLETE. WHAT DO I NEED? AND WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU THE LIST OF THE THINGS, SO YOU FORGOT TO PAY.

WE'RE GOING TO SAY PLEASE PAY THIS FEE BY THIS DATE.

AND WE'VE ALSO DECIDED THAT IT'S A SIX MONTH TIME FRAME.

SO IF YOU GET AN INCOMPLETE APPLICATION, YOU HAVE SIX MONTHS TO GET BACK TO US WITH THE LISTED INFORMATION.

OTHERWISE WE WILL CLOSE YOUR FILE AND WE SAY THAT RIGHT ON.

SO THAT WAY WE'RE NOT CHASING PEOPLE EITHER.

IT'S THE ONUS IS ON THE APPLICANT TO PROVIDE US WITH INFORMATION.

THANK YOU. AWESOME.

THANKS. SO I'M ASSUMING WHEN YOU SAY 30 DAYS, THAT MEANS 30 DAYS FOR RESPONSE, NOT 30 DAYS TO OPEN IT UP.

RIGHT? MS. BASSI-KELLETT. MISS WHITE, 30 DAYS IS TO A DECISION.

SO NOT JUST A RESPONSE, BUT TO ACTUALLY KNOWING WHETHER YOU'RE APPROVED OR REFUSED.

OKAY. GREAT. HAVE YOU LOOKED AT ANY, LIKE, THE TIMELINES I SAW ON THERE? YOU KNOW, THE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT ONE, WHEN YOU FACTOR IN APPEALS AND THINGS, THAT'S QUITE LENGTHY.

YOU CAN GET TO HAVE DONE ANY WORK OR ANY THOUGHTS AROUND HOW TO SHORTEN SOME OF THIS UP, LIKE THE TURNAROUND TIMES? MS. BASSI-KELLETT. MISS WHITE.

YES. AND THESE ACTUALLY ARE SHORTENED COMPARED TO WHAT THE CURRENT OR PREVIOUS PROCESS WAS AS WELL.

ONE WAY THAT WE'VE LOOKED AT CHANGING THE PROCESS HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED THROUGH THE NEW ZONING BYLAW.

SO THERE ARE LESS REQUIREMENTS FOR DEVELOPMENT PERMITS GOING FORWARD.

WHAT I CAN SAY IS, YES, EVERY YEAR WE HAVE VARIANCES.

[00:15:03]

BUT WE'VE ONLY HAD ONE ZONING AMENDMENT THUS FAR.

SO I'M THINKING THAT IT HAS BEEN EFFECTIVE TO DATE, BUT WE'LL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.

AND IF THERE'S SUGGESTIONS, AS ALWAYS, PEOPLE CAN COME TO US AND LET US KNOW.

THANK YOU. AWESOME.

LAST QUESTION. IN YOUR SLIDE DECK, YOU MENTIONED MONITOR AND REPORT.

IS THERE GOING TO BE A SET CRITERIA ON HOW OFTEN IT GETS REPORTED? IS IT GOING TO COME TO US? IS THAT INTERNAL KIND OF WHAT'S THE PLAN THERE? MS. BASSI-KELLETT, MISS WHITE, THANK YOU.

SO YES, WE ARE WORKING WITH THE ASSET MANAGEMENT TEAM SO THAT IT IS A CORPORATE STANDARD FOR REPORTING.

SO IT WON'T JUST BE FOR US, IT WILL BE CORPORATE WIDE AND THEY'LL DETERMINE WHAT THAT TIMING IS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, COUNCILLOR FEQUET.

SWEET. ONLY TWO LEFT.

THANKS, WARBURTON. TWO QUICK QUESTIONS.

SO, SO FAR, JUST MAKING ALL THESE CHANGES.

HAVE THERE BEEN ANY BUDGET IMPLICATIONS OTHER THAN STAFF TIME? HAVE WE HAD TO SPEND ANY MONEY, OR IS IT ALL JUST BEEN THE TIME WE NEEDED TO GET ALL THIS WORK DONE? MS. BASSI-KELLETT.

MISS WHITE, THANK YOU.

SO, YES, THERE HAVE BEEN SOME BUDGET IMPLICATIONS, BUT NOTHING THAT HAS GONE BEYOND WHAT WAS BUDGETED FOR FOR 2024.

SO SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THERE'S NEW SIGNAGE THAT IS OUT THERE.

SO THAT HAS A BUDGET COST AS WELL.

SO WE'RE MONITORING THAT.

AND MAYBE NEXT YEAR WHAT YOU MIGHT SEE IS WE COME FORWARD WITH A CHANGE TO OUR APPLICATION FEES BECAUSE IT SHOULD BE THE APPLICANT.

IF THERE IS ANY CHANGES IN COST SO FAR IT'S IT'S NOTHING HUGE.

IT'S NOT THIS LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY.

YES. THERE IS ADDITIONAL COST FOR STAFF TIME.

WE HAVE THE NEW TWO PYS THIS YEAR, AND WE FEEL THAT THAT SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO DO THIS, AS WELL AS SOME OF THE OTHER INITIATIVES THAT WE'RE WORKING ON.

THANK YOU. AWESOME.

THANKS. MY NEXT QUESTION IS JUST YOU MENTIONED MANY OR ALL OF THESE WERE SOFT LAUNCHED.

I JUST COULD YOU CONFIRM IF THEY'VE ALL BEEN PUT OUT, ALL THESE NEW SERVICE STANDARDS AND IF NOT, JUST WHAT'S THE TIMELINE FOR THE KIND OF COMPLETE IMPLEMENTATION OF THEM ALL? MS. BASSI-KELLETT, MISS WHITE.

I THINK I MEANT MANY HAVE BEEN REVIEWED, BUT ALL HAVE BEEN SOFT LAUNCHED.

SO WE'RE OFFICIALLY LAUNCHING IT.

ALL THE APPLICATIONS ARE GOING TO BE UP ONLINE AFTER THE LONG WEEKEND, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON THOSE FACT SHEETS JUST SO THEY'RE ONE PAGES FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW QUICKLY HOW TO GET THROUGH EACH OF THESE PROCESSES.

THANK YOU. GREAT.

AND THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWER TO THE REPORTING AND HOW THAT WILL BE INTEGRATED INTO KIND OF OUR CORPORATE ANNUAL REPORTING OR WHATEVER PROCESS MAKES THE MOST SENSE.

I WAS JUST CURIOUS. LAST QUESTION ABOUT METRICS FOR SUCCESS.

YOU MENTIONED, OBVIOUSLY IT SOUNDS PRETTY POSITIVE RESPONSE SO FAR FOR FROM FOLKS.

I'M JUST WONDERING, OTHER THAN PUBLIC FEEDBACK, IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY THAT WE'LL LIKE ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SOME OF THESE SERVICE LEVEL STANDARDS? OBVIOUSLY, ONE IMPORTANT QUESTION IS ARE WE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THEM? AND THANK YOU FOR THE EXAMPLE WHERE YOU GUYS WERE UNDER TIME BY LIKE A THIRD KNOWING THAT YOU MIGHT NEED THE FULL TIME FOR A MORE COMPLEX SITUATION.

SO I'M JUST WONDERING WHAT OTHER METRICS ARE WE THINKING MIGHT BE USEFUL IN KIND OF DETERMINING IF THESE ARE THE RIGHT, RIGHT STANDARDS OR NOT? MS. BASSI-KELLETT MISS WHITE, THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.

SO THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR ASSET MANAGEMENT TEAM ON, SO THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE DIFFERENT METRICS FOR PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT THAN FOR THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS. SO AS THOSE COME FORWARD IT'LL BE BROUGHT CORPORATELY.

BUT YES, IT'S NOT JUST ARE WE MEETING THE TIMELINES THAT WE HAVE SET OUT BECAUSE YES, THAT'S ONE WAY TO DO IT.

BUT THERE'S MUNICIPAL KPIS ACROSS THE BOARD THAT CAN BE USED TO TO ASSESS THESE TYPES OF THINGS.

THANK YOU. AWESOME.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

COUNCILLOR HENDRICKSEN. THANKS, MAYOR ALTY.

JUST THINKING OF TIMELINES AND APPLICANT EXPECTATIONS.

HOW DOES IT WORK? LIKE, I GUESS YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT IN THE LETTER.

BACK TO APPLICANTS.

IF IT'S AN INCOMPLETE APPLICATION, IT SORT OF SAYS YOU HAVE 60 DAYS TO RESPOND IN THOSE INSTANCES, AS MS. BASSI-KELLETT MENTIONED, OF AN EMERGENCY OR SOMETHING ELSE TAKING STAFF TIME AWAY, DO WE HAVE A PROCESS IN PLACE OR A, YOU KNOW, STANDARD LETTER THAT CAN BE QUICKLY UPDATED WITH A DATE SO THAT APPLICANTS CAN HAVE A SURETY OF WHEN THEIR APPLICATIONS WILL BE BACK ON, SAY, YOU KNOW, THIS HAS HAPPENED 30 DAYS AND WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU AGAIN JUST BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THINKING OF TIMELINES, EXPECTATIONS, COSTS FOR DEVELOPERS AND PEOPLE DOING THEIR HOUSES ON THIS SO THAT PEOPLE HAVE SOME IDEA OF WHEN THEY WILL GET HEARD BACK FROM.

MS. BASSI-KELLETT. MISS WHITE, THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.

SO WE ARE LEGISLATED TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE CONTINUE TO GO FORWARD EVEN DURING CERTAIN SITUATIONS LAST YEAR THE APPLICATIONS CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD.

SO WE DIDN'T SEND OUT MASS EMAILS TO EVERYONE SAYING YOU'RE ALL APPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN DELAYED 30 DAYS I'M JUST PICKING A DATE.

SHOULD THAT HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE, THAT WOULD BE A CORPORATE RESPONSE, NOT JUST FOR PLANNING APPLICATIONS, BUT I THINK FOR ANY OF THE BUSINESS THAT THE CITY DOES.

[00:20:05]

YEAH. AND IT'LL BE AS PER THE TIMELINES.

THANK YOU. NO THANKS.

AND THANKS FOR THAT ASSURITY THERE.

AND IT MAKES SENSE FROM A CORPORATE PERSPECTIVE.

IN MY HEAD, I JUST I HAVE AN ANNOYING EXPERIENCE WITH ATIP LEGISLATION.

AND IN THERE IT'S SORT OF LIKE A STOP CLOCK, RIGHT? LIKE IF SOMETHING'S MISSING, YOU HIT STOP AND THEN IT KICKS IN AGAIN ONCE YOU GET THE INFORMATION BACK.

BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE GOT IT.

SO I WILL BE QUIET ON THAT.

THE OTHER THING, AND I DON'T WANT TO MAKE ANYBODY PANIC BECAUSE I'M NOT SUGGESTING ANYTHING HAPPEN.

BUT YOU NOTED AT THE START WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITIES AND HOW WE'RE A JURISDICTION THAT HAS NO AUTHORITY FOR ANY OF THESE TIMELINES WITHIN EITHER TERRITORIAL LEGISLATION OR IN MUNICIPAL BYLAW.

WOULD THIS BE SOMETHING THAT IN THE LONG RUN AND THIS IS WHERE I'M SAYING DON'T PANIC ANYBODY.

I'M NOT SUGGESTING ANYTHING.

BUT IN THE LONG RUN, WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD CONSIDER IS LIKE PUTTING THESE IN BYLAW ONCE THEY'RE SORT OF UP AND RUNNING AND YOU HAVE SOME CONFIDENCE THAT THINGS ARE WORKING WELL SO THAT, YOU KNOW, A FUTURE COUNCIL DOESN'T COME ALONG AND QUICKLY CHANGE THESE, OR FUTURE ADMIN COMES ALONG AND QUICKLY CHANGE THESE.

WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD BE THINKING OF FOR OUR OWN WORK PLANS IN THE FUTURE YEARS? MS. BASSI-KELLETT, BEFORE I HAND IT TO MISS WHITE THERE ARE A LOT OF SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT ON THAT, AND CERTAINLY HAVING TRANSPARENT TIME FRAMES THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND AND KNOW THAT THIS IS WHAT THE CITY IS WORKING TO WILL BE A GOOD START.

SO THEY'RE LEGISLATED BY SOME PROVINCES PLACES WHERE ONTARIO, FOR EXAMPLE, HAS TRIED TO DO SOME THINGS THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT BEYOND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW.

DOES THAT ADD TO THE SUCCESS? I THINK THERE'S LOTS OF PEOPLE THAT WOULD SAY YES AND LOTS WHO WOULD SAY NO AS WELL.

SO DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WILL BE CONSIDERED.

BUT AT THIS POINT, I THINK WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET THEM OFF THE GROUND.

MISS WHITE, THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.

AND HAVING WORKED IN PREVIOUS JURISDICTIONS WHERE IT'S BEEN LEGISLATED THERE IS POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES TO BOTH.

WHAT I WILL SAY IS A LOT MORE TIME IS SPENT BY PLANNING STAFF ON APPEALS, BECAUSE AS SOON AS THAT DATE HITS, THEY CAN GO IN FOR AN APPEAL THE VERY NEXT DAY WHICH THEN TAKES IT OUT OF YOUR DECISION MAKING REALM AND PUTS IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL.

SO SO THERE'S THAT.

BUT THERE'S ALSO THEN IT, YOU KNOW, IS, IS A CONSISTENT PROCESS, CONSISTENT TIMELINES THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND.

AND IT'S THE SAME NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO.

YEAH. THERE'S PROS AND CONS TO BOTH.

NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT AT THIS POINT.

BUT MAYBE. YEAH, SOMETHING TO TALK TO THE GNWT IN THE FUTURE.

THANKS. NO THANKS.

AND IT'S CLEARLY BEEN THOUGHT THROUGH AND I WON'T BE BRINGING THAT UP.

DON'T WORRY ANYBODY. NO THANKS FOR THAT RESPONSE.

AND THERE'S CLEARLY THE COST BENEFITS.

AND IT SOUNDS LIKE RIGHT NOW THE BENEFIT IS THIS WAY.

SO THANKS. THANK YOU.

COUNCILLOR MCLENNAN.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANKS FOR THE WORK AND BRINGING THIS FORWARD.

I JUST HAD A COUPLE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PRE-DEVELOPMENT MEETING.

AND PERHAPS THIS WILL BE MADE CLEAR AFTER THE LONG WEEKEND AND THE STUFF THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED ONLINE.

WHAT EXACTLY WOULD THE PROCESS BE FOR SOMEONE TO REQUEST THAT MEETING? DO THEY JUST EMAIL THE CITY GENERALLY, OR PLANNING AND LANDS? MS. BASSI-KELLETT. MISS WHITE.

THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

SO THERE'S TWO WAYS YOU COULD EMAIL.

WE HAVE THE LINK IS RIGHT ON OUR WEBPAGE THAT SAYS I BELIEVE IT'S ACTUALLY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT AT YELLOWKNIFE, CA OR YOU CAN CALL THE MAIN LINE AND ASK TO SPEAK TO OUR PLANNING COORDINATOR WHO WILL TAKE THE INFORMATION DOWN, UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS YOU'RE LOOKING TO DO.

AND ONE OF OUR MANAGERS WILL BE IN TOUCH BECAUSE YOU WILL PROVIDE US WITH THAT PROPOSAL.

AND WE'LL DETERMINE, IS IT JUST BUILDING YOU NEED TO SPEAK WITH IS IT BUILDING AND ENGINEERING AND PLANNING WE'LL DO ALL THAT BACK END WORK, AND WE'LL WORK TO SET UP A MEETING DATE THAT WORKS FOR EVERYBODY.

THANK YOU. AWESOME.

THANK YOU. AND IS THERE ANY TIMELINE FROM THAT INITIAL CONTACT TO THAT MEETING 15 DAYS OR SOMETHING? OR IS IT JUST SORT OF WHEN WHEN IT WORKS? MS. BASSI-KELLETT MISS WHITE.

THANK YOU. YEAH. THE 15 DAY STANDARD IS THERE.

WE TRY TO DO IT WITHIN, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, DEPENDING WHO IS AVAILABLE IN HERE WITHIN, YOU KNOW, THE FIRST WEEK.

BUT SOMETIMES. YEAH 15 DAYS IS IS MORE REALISTIC.

WE ALSO WANT TO WORK WITH YOUR SCHEDULE.

WE'VE HAD PEOPLE CALL AND SAY, HEY, I'M GOING TO BE OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND I'M BACK ON APRIL 2ND.

CAN WE MEET AFTER THAT? SURE. WE'LL FIGURE OUT WHAT WORKS.

RIGHT. SO IT'S REALLY TO MAKE SURE WHO YOU NEED IS AVAILABLE FROM THE CITY, BUT ALSO THAT YOU CAN BRING YOUR MAYBE YOU HAVE YOUR ARCHITECT YOU WANT TO BRING WITH YOU OR WHOMEVER IT IS. SO WE'LL WE'LL WORK TO DO.

THAT ALSO DOESN'T HAVE TO BE IN PERSON.

WE CAN SET THESE UP VIRTUALLY AS WELL.

SO SHOULD PUT THAT OUT THERE TOO.

THANK YOU. AWESOME.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. FOR MYSELF JUST A FEW QUESTIONS TO MAKE SURE I HAVE THE CLARITY.

SO IT DID SAY OUR DEPARTMENT WEBSITE WILL BE UPDATED IN EARLY APRIL WITH NEW APPLICATIONS AND GUIDANCE.

SO I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, THE CITY VIEW AND THE NEW APPLICATIONS.

[00:25:04]

CITY VIEW IS WE'RE IN TESTING PHASE RIGHT NOW, SO THAT WILL BE A COUPLE MORE MONTHS.

IT WAS SOMETHING WE HAD EXPECTED TO BE DONE IN 2023.

WE ARE WHERE WE ARE.

NO WHAT THIS IS, IS WE'VE UPDATED.

THEY'RE NOW ALL CONSISTENT.

MANY PEOPLE IT MIGHT BE SURPRISING STILL PUT IN PAPER FORMS. SO THIS IS THE NEW PAPER FORMS ARE ALL GOING TO BE AVAILABLE ONLINE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU'RE USING CITY VIEW OR NOT.

WHEN WE COME BACK WITH YOUR COMPLETE APPLICATION, WE USUALLY ASK FOR ANYWAYS, WHETHER YOU USE CITY VIEW OR NOT SOME PAPER FORMS TO BE FILLED OUT.

SO WE'VE UPDATED THOSE AS WELL.

SO EVEN IF WE ARE GOING AND WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO USE CITY VIEW, EVEN USING THAT PROCESS, WE STILL HAVE PAPER FORMS PEOPLE HAVE TO SIGN.

SO THIS IS AN UPDATE OF ALL OF THOSE.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

AND THEN WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT I THINK IT'S THROUGH CITY VIEW THAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SAY MY FORM IS BEING REVIEWED RIGHT NOW BY PUBLIC WORKS OR I HAVEN'T PAID MY FEE.

WILL THAT ONLY BE AVAILABLE FOR THE APPLICANT, OR WILL THE PUBLIC ALSO BE ABLE TO TO CLICK ON IT AND SEE WHERE THAT APPLICATION IS? MS. BASSI-KELLETT. MISS WHITE, THANK YOU.

SO IT'LL BE TWO STREAMS. ONE IS FOR THE APPLICANT WHERE THEY CAN LOG IN.

THAT'S THEIR INFORMATION.

THEY CAN SEE WHO'S BEEN ASSIGNED AS THE BUILDING INSPECTOR OR WHOMEVER.

YEAH. IF THEIR FEE IS OUTSTANDING, ALL OF THAT CAN BE DONE IN THAT APPLICATION.

WHAT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC IS THE WE'LL CALL IT A PERMIT SUMMARY.

AND SO IT'LL BE DONE IN ORDER OF EACH OF THE PERMITS.

WE'RE RIGHT NOW THAT'S DONE BY LEGAL, WHICH I DON'T.

SO LEGAL DESCRIPTION, WHICH IS EVEN HARD FOR ME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW, IS THAT NIVEN IS THAT DOWNTOWN? SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET THE BACK END PROGRAMING TO USE ADDRESSES BECAUSE IT'S A LOT EASIER.

ANYWAYS SO THAT WILL BE THE APPLICATION AND THE FORM AND THEN ANY UPCOMING.

SO NOT ALL DECISIONS COME TO COUNCIL.

IF THERE IS COUNCIL IT'LL BE MEETINGS OR ESTIMATED DECISION DATE WHEN THE DECISION IS ISSUED.

OH THE DECISION IS GOING TO BE ON THERE AS WELL.

SO ALL OF THAT INFORMATION WILL JUST KEEP KIND OF BEING ADDED TO EACH OF THE APPLICATIONS AS THEY GO FORWARD.

THANK YOU. THANKS.

YEAH, I GET A LOT OF QUESTIONS FROM FOLKS LIKE, HEY, WONDERING HOW MY APPLICATION IS GOING.

AND YES, THEY SHOULD GO WHEN IT COMES, SEE IT THERE.

BUT IT WOULD ALSO BE HELPFUL FOR ME TO BE LIKE, I CAN SEE YOUR APPLICATION IS THERE.

SO IF THAT'S POSSIBLE, THAT THAT'D BE GREAT.

THE CITY OF KELOWNA IS TAKING A LOOK AT THEIR APPLICATION AND IT SHOWS THE PROGRESS OF IT.

SO AND I KNOW THE OTHER PROBLEM IN IS LIKE THE COMPLETE APPLICATION AND YOU VERBALLY SAID IT WOULD BE 15 DAYS TO DETERMINE IF THE APPLICATION IS COMPLETE OR INCOMPLETE, BUT IT'S NOT CURRENTLY LISTED IN THE SERVICE STANDARD TIMELINE. SO I'D RECOMMEND THAT GOING IN.

AND THE OTHER THING I'D RECOMMEND, AND I GUESS I'LL RECOMMEND THEM, BUT ASK FOR FEEDBACK FROM ADMIN WOULD BE THE TIMELINE FOR HAVING A PRE-PLANNING MEETING, BECAUSE AGAIN, I THINK ANYTHING THAT WE CAN CLEARLY SAY YOU EMAILED, IT'LL BE WITHIN 15 DAYS.

SO WONDERING IF ADMIN WOULD BE OPEN TO ADDING THOSE TWO ITEMS TO THE SERVICE LEVEL STANDARDS.

MS. BASSI-KELLETT. MISS WHITE.

YES. AND THE REASON IS WE HAVE INTERNAL PROCEDURES AND THESE ARE INCLUDED IN THOSE.

SO. YES, IF THAT MAKES IT MORE CLEAR, I'M HAPPY TO DO IT.

THANK YOU. THANKS.

YEAH, I THINK IT IT IS GOOD TO HAVE IT CLEAR, BECAUSE I KNOW SOME PEOPLE SAY I PUT MY APPLICATION IN THREE YEARS AGO, BUT IT'S NOT COMPLETE.

SO IT'S TAKEN YOU THREE YEARS TO COMPLETE YOUR APPLICATION, BUT WE HAVEN'T STARTED REVIEWING IT.

SO ANYTHING WE CAN DO WITH TECHNOLOGY TO ALSO HELP IN THAT REGARD I THINK WILL BE GOOD.

AND THEN A QUESTION AGAIN ON THE CLARITY POINT IS DO WE MEAN DAYS OR DO WE MEAN WORK DAYS? MS. BASSI-KELLETT MISS WHITE.

DAYS, WE DO NOT MEAN WORK DAYS BECAUSE THAT WOULD JUST ADD A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER COUNTING.

YEAH, STRAIGHT DAYS, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.

CALENDAR DAYS. YES.

THANK YOU. PERFECT.

I WANT TO ADD THAT CLARITY TOO.

AND I BELIEVE THAT'S HOW IT IS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT APPEAL BOARD, BECAUSE I THINK WE ALMOST HAD ONE ON CHRISTMAS EVE.

BUT YEAH, JUST MAKING SURE WE'RE CLEAR ON THAT.

I BELIEVE THOSE ARE ALL OF MY QUESTIONS, I GUESS JUST A QUESTION AND IT DOES SOUND LIKE IT'S AN ITERATIVE PROCESS, BUT IS THERE ANY TECHNOLOGY, ANY AI, THAT OR ANY OTHER TECHNOLOGY THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO TRY TO ACCELERATE SOME OF THESE TIMELINES? MS. BASSI-KELLETT. OH, THE SEDUCTIVE LURE OF AI.

I DON'T KNOW, MAYOR ALTY.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING? MISS WHITE, TO ANSWER THAT APPROPRIATELY, I'LL SAY WE ARE WORKING WITHIN OUR EXISTING BUDGET BECAUSE THIS ALL OF OUR IT RESOURCES ACTUALLY COME OUT OF MY

[00:30:09]

SO SHOULD COUNCIL IN THE FUTURE WISH TO HAVE US GO DOWN THAT PATH? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

YEAH, I KNOW MS. BASSI-KELLETT AND I MET WITH THE CITY OF EDMONTON BACK IN 2019, AND THEY WERE DOING A LOT OF DATA ANALYSIS TO SEE WHERE THEY COULD REMOVE PERMITTING THE RISK AND THE MITIGATION AND ALL THAT STUFF. SO ANYTHING WE CAN DO, AGAIN, THEY HAVE A CHIEF DATA SCIENTIST, WHICH IS HELPFUL.

BUT APPRECIATE THE WORK FOR ME WOULD JUST BE TO ADD THOSE TWO OTHER STANDARDS.

BUT SEEING NOTHING FOR OH, NO.

COUNCILLOR WARBURTON. SORRY.

LAST QUESTION. YOU MENTIONED HAVING THAT PRE PLANNING MEETING, WHICH IS GREAT.

DO YOU HAVE AN PLANNING COORDINATOR, DO WE CURRENTLY HAVE SOMEONE THAT CAN, YOU KNOW, VERY QUICKLY RESPOND TO PEOPLE BECAUSE LIKE, LIKE MAYOR ALTY SAID, WE ALWAYS GET THE QUESTION, IF I KNOW WHERE THIS IS, I CAN'T GET AHOLD OF ANYBODY.

IT'S LIKE A WAY OR A PLAN TO INTEGRATE SOMEONE THAT CAN QUICKLY, YOU KNOW, ANSWER A PHONE CALL OR EMAIL PEOPLE BACK BECAUSE IT TIME SENSITIVE STUFF, I GUESS.

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

SO WE DO HAVE A PLANNING COORDINATOR IN PLACE.

IT WAS VACANT FOR A WHILE, SO WE HOPEFULLY WILL NOT BE HAVING ANY MORE OF THOSE CALLS.

WE ALSO ARE IN THE PROCESS OF HIRING TWO PLANNER ONES, WHICH THEIR RESPONSIBILITY WILL BE TO NOT JUST SOLELY FOCUS ON THE CUSTOMER SERVICE SIDE, BUT TO DO THE PRE PLANNING MEETINGS WITH THE MANAGERS.

SO YES, WE SHOULD HAVE THREE PEOPLE BY THE SUMMER TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING IN THIS SYSTEM.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

AND ONE MORE QUESTION. I KNOW OTHER JURISDICTIONS FOR IT'S MOSTLY NOT FOR IT'S FOR LARGE DEVELOPMENTS.

THEY'LL HAVE KIND OF MONTHLY OR BI WEEKLY OR WHATEVER KIND OF SET MEETING WITH THAT DEVELOPER.

DO WE CURRENTLY DO THAT OR HAVE ANY PLANS TO DO THAT WITH? KIND OF BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S DIFFERENT LEVEL WHEN YOU'RE DOING LARGE BUILDINGS.

MS. BASSI-KELLETT. MISS WHITE.

SO IF IT'S AT THE REQUEST OF THE DEVELOPER, WE HAVE HAD ONE WHO WHO LIKES TO WORK IN THAT MANNER.

SO WE WILL ENTERTAIN THAT AS LONG AS WE HAVE THE RESOURCES TO DO SO.

BUT IT'S NOT A COMMON REQUEST.

BUT WE HAVE HAD HAD IT ONCE, AND WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO.

AND WHEN ASKED. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

SEEING NOTHING FURTHER, I ALSO NOTE THIS IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY.

SO NOT SUBJECT TO COUNCIL APPROVAL.

OKAY. SO JUST TO GET THAT UPDATED AND THEN I GUESS IT'LL BE POSTED ONLINE MS. BASSI-KELLETT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MADAM CHAIR.

YES, THAT'S CORRECT. WE'LL HAVE SOME PUBLIC INFORMATION GOING OUT ON THIS AND POSTING IT SO THAT IT KICKS OFF AS MISS WHITE SAID AFTER THE LONG WEEKEND.

THANK YOU.

WELL, STAY TUNED FOR THAT.

[5. A presentation regarding New Area Development Plan (Kam Lake).]

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

SO THERE'S BEEN SIGNIFICANT INTEREST OVER THE LAST FIVE OR MORE YEARS IN SEEING MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, LIGHT COMMERCIAL WHERE BUSINESS OWNERS CAN ALSO LIVE.

SO ESSENTIALLY THE KAM LAKE NEIGHBORHOOD MODEL.

RECOGNIZING, OF COURSE, THAT THERE IS A CLEAR REGULATORY PROCESS TO DEVELOP NEW AREAS, NOT TO MENTION A RANGE OF INTERESTS INCLUDING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOODS. TODAY, ADMINISTRATION IS PRESENTING ON THE PROCESS FOR DEVELOPING A NEW AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR EXPANDING THE KAM LAKE NEIGHBORHOOD.

ONCE AGAIN, OUR STAR TODAY OVER TO YOU, MISS WHITE.

THANK YOU. GREAT.

SO THIS IS REALLY JUST A SHORT PRESENTATION TO GIVE NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC AND TO PRESENT IT TO GPC THAT WE ARE BEGINNING TO INITIATE THIS PROCESS.

IT IS GOING TO BE YEARS IN THE MAKING.

SO I WANT TO LAY THAT OUT RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE'LL HAVE LOTS FOR SALE IN DECEMBER.

THE LAND THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IS HIGHLIGHTED HERE IN BLUE.

SO THIS IS SOUTH OF ENGLE, WEST OF THE EXISTING KAM LAKE AREA AND NORTH OF GRACE LAKE.

REALLY, AS THE CITY MANAGER MENTIONED, WE HAVE HEARD BOTH SIDES.

WE'VE DURING THE ZONING BYLAW PROCESS, THERE WAS A LOTS, A LOT OF OPINIONS THAT WERE PROVIDED TO THE CITY.

AND SO WHAT WE SAID AT THAT TIME WAS THAT WE WILL GO FORWARD WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT AND WE WILL DO THE FULL PUBLIC PROCESS SEPARATE FROM THAT ZONING UPDATE THE NEW BYLAW THAT WE DID.

AND SO THIS IS WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

AND AS I JUST MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS PRESENTATION MOVING PUBLIC CONSULTATION UP TO THE FRONT.

SO THIS IS THE THING THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO FIRST.

SO THIS IS TO THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, PEOPLE WHO WORK IN KAM NOT JUST FOR THE RESIDENTS AND THE BUSINESSES IN THE AREA.

WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT OTHER AGENCIES WHO WILL BE IMPACTED.

[00:35:02]

WHAT KIND OF IMPACT DOES THIS HAVE ON THEM? BECAUSE ANY NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT WE DO, YES, IT COSTS BOTH THE MUNICIPALITY AND THE TAXPAYER, BUT THERE'S ALSO OUTSIDE SERVICES THAT WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT AS WELL.

SO WE ARE GOING TO BE WORKING WITH A CONSULTANT JUST SO THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S OUT THERE.

THEY'RE GOING TO WORK WITH OUR TEAM TO CREATE THAT PUBLIC CONSULTATION.

WE'RE HOPING TO DO IT IN MAY AND JUNE OF THIS YEAR SO THAT WE ARE ABLE TO BRING SOMETHING, PUT IT ALL TOGETHER, CREATE A PLAN, AND HAVE SOMETHING TO PRESENT TO COUNCIL AS TO THIS IS HOW TO MOVE FORWARD OR NOT AND WHY.

IN ADDITION, A MARKET STUDY BECAUSE YES, WE HEAR ALL THESE IDEAS OH, WE NEED THIS, OH WE NEED THAT.

BUT WHAT DO WE ACTUALLY NEED? WHAT LAND DO WE ACTUALLY HAVE AVAILABLE AND WHAT IS IT PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR FROM THAT BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE? IS IT HALF ACRE LOTS? IS IT FULL ACRE LOTS? I KNOW THE CITY MANAGER AND OUR COMMUNITY PLAN ARE TALKING LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

MAYBE IT'S AGRICULTURE.

WE NEED TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS SO THAT WE CAN PUT A FULSOME REPORT TO COUNCIL TO SAY, OKAY, DO YOU WANT TO PROCEED? THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE IDENTIFY THAT WE NEED.

AND ALONG WITH THAT CAN WE SERVICE IT.

THIS IS ALSO KEY.

SO WATER, SEWER, TRANSIT ALL THE ALL THE THINGS THAT WE PROVIDE FIRE, FIRE SAFETY WHAT IS WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE.

AND SO WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT KIND OF A FULSOME SUMMARY AND SAY, OKAY, COUNCIL, DO YOU WANT US TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS SO THAT YOU HAVE KIND OF THAT IDEA OF IT'S GOING TO BE X AMOUNT OF TIME AND X AMOUNT OF DOLLARS, AND THIS IS WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING.

SHOULD WE GET DIRECTION TO MOVE FORWARD THE AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND ZONING CAN GO IN TANDEM AT THE SAME TIME.

THE SUBDIVISION, THAT PROCESS IS THROUGH THE GNWT SO WE CAN BE WORKING ON IT.

IF IT GETS TO THAT POINT, THEN AT THE SAME TIME, WE WOULD BE DOING THE MARKETING PLAN SO THAT WE'RE READY TO GO SHOULD THE SUBDIVISION BE APPROVED AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SALE OF LAND. SO WHERE ARE WE NOW? SPRING WE'RE GOING TO UPDATE.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A PAGE JUST FOR THIS PROJECT.

AND AS IT MOVES FORWARD, MORE MATERIAL WILL BE ADDED.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO DELETE THINGS.

SO IT'LL BE NEWEST AT THE TOP, OLDEST AT THE BOTTOM, SO PEOPLE CAN FOLLOW IT THROUGH KIND OF LIKE A BACKWARDS PROGRESSION IN TIME.

AND WE'RE GOING TO LIKE I SAID, WE'RE GOING TO START WITH THAT PUBLIC CONSULTATION, WHICH ISN'T JUST THE RESIDENTS, IT'S GOING TO BE BUSINESSES AND OTHER AGENCIES.

AND THEN WE WILL BRING ALL OF THOSE RESULTS TO COUNCIL TO SAY, OKAY, HERE.

THIS IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO NEED TO MOVE FORWARD OR NOT, AND THE DECISION WILL BE FOR COUNCIL TO MAKE.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.

OPENING IT UP TO QUESTIONS.

COUNCILLOR WARBURTON.

AWESOME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU ANSWERED MOST OF MY PROCESS QUESTIONS SO A BUNCH WILL BE SIMULTANEOUS.

SO SORRY. DONE.

MARKETING AND SERVICE REVIEW.

SERVICE REVIEW. I KIND OF GET, BUT WHAT IS A MARKETING REVIEW? WHAT? HOW IS THAT DONE? WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? THANKS, MS. BASSI-KELLETT. MISS WHITE, THANK YOU.

SO THERE'S A NUMBER OF INFORMATION SOURCES THAT WE USE.

AND WE ALSO GO TO THE BUREAU OF STATISTICS.

WE DON'T JUST USE STATS, CAN WE? THE BUREAU DOES FORECASTING OUT SO KIND OF 10 YEAR 20 YEARS OUT AND IDENTIFIES WHAT COMMUNITIES IN THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES NEEDS.

AND WE'RE GOING TO TIE THAT TOGETHER WITH WHAT WE'RE HEARING FROM THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY.

SO IT'LL BE A TWO PRONGED APPROACH TO SEE IF THEY MATCH.

BECAUSE IF THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IS SAYING WE NEED X, BUT THERE'S NO IDENTIFIED MARKET FOR IT WITHIN THAT NEXT 10 YEARS, WE'LL PRESENT IT TO YOU.

SO IT'S BASICALLY US USING OTHER SOURCES OF INFORMATION TO IDENTIFY WHAT WE POTENTIALLY THINK COULD SHOULD BE DEVELOPED IN THIS AREA.

THANK YOU.

AND THIS IS MORE IT'S A QUESTION MORE FOR THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND.

SO THAT OUTLINED AREA YOU SHOWED IN THE MAP.

THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT'S ALL BUILT OUT WALL TO WALL.

RIGHT. THERE IS SETBACKS AND DIFFERENT THINGS AS PART OF THE CONSULTATION WILL TALK ABOUT.

YEP THAT WOULD COME THROUGH THE AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

MS. BASSI-KELLETT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THAT'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

MISS WHITE WILL HAVE MORE TO ELABORATE ON THIS.

SURE. SO THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF THE PUBLIC CONSULTATION.

IF YOU ARE IN THE AREA AND YOU NEED MORE LAND BECAUSE YOU NEED TO DO X, TELL US.

LET US KNOW WHAT IT IS THAT YOU NEED AND WHY, HOW MUCH LAND, ETC.

IF YOU'RE A RESIDENT IN THE AREA AND YOU WANT A BUFFER BETWEEN YOU AND POTENTIAL, MAYBE IF IT'S A ANOTHER RESIDENTIAL OR AGRICULTURAL USE, MAYBE YOU'RE NOT SO CONCERNED.

BUT IF IT'S A TRUCKING COMPANY AS AN EXAMPLE, WITH ENGINES RUNNING ALL NIGHT, I DON'T WANT THAT IN MY BACKYARD.

LIKE LET US KNOW.

ALSO, WE HAVE TO CONSIDER THE OTHER PIECE IS RIGHT NOW WE HAVE FIREBREAK THAT RUNS THROUGH THERE.

SO WE NEED TO PLACE A NEW FIRE BREAK ON WHEREVER THAT EXTERIOR IS.

SO THERE'S A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT PIECES THAT WILL NEED TO BE COORDINATED TO ENSURE THAT WE GET IT RIGHT IF WE DO MOVE FORWARD.

BUT PLEASE TO THE PUBLIC, LET US KNOW WHAT YOU DO.

[00:40:01]

SO TELL US WHAT THAT IS.

THANK YOU.

YEAH IN THE AREA OF DEVELOPMENT, PLANNING CAN BE LIKE TRAILS, ALL THAT STUFF TOO THAT GET IDENTIFIED.

COUNCILLOR PAYNE. THANK YOU.

THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION.

YOU ALREADY ANSWERED MY BUFFER QUESTION.

HAVE WE LOOKED AT THIS AREA AS A WHOLE? I'M SURE THAT IT'S BEEN WALKED THROUGH.

IS THERE IS THERE LIKE AN AREA THAT'S PROBABLY EASIER TO DEVELOP THAT WOULD PROBABLY GO FIRST? OR HAVE WE GOTTEN THAT FAR YET? PHASING ANOTHER GOOD AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND ENGAGEMENT QUESTION MS. BASSI-KELLETT MISS WHITE.

YES, I WAS GOING TO SAY IT COULD BE DONE IN PHASES, POTENTIALLY.

WHAT I CAN SAY IS, YES, IT'S BEEN WALKED.

YES. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN OUT THERE.

NO, WE HAVEN'T IDENTIFIED WHICH ORDER, WHICH WAY.

BUT WHAT I CAN SAY IS THERE IS ALSO POCKETS OF REALLY GOOD SOIL OUT THERE.

SO IT MAY COME OUT WITH A INTERESTING CONFIGURATION, BUT PHASING IS SOMETHING WE DEFINITELY WILL BE LOOKING AT GOING FORWARD.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, COUNCILLOR FEQUET.

THANKS, MADAM MAYOR.

YEAH. JUST BACK TO THE MARKET REVIEW.

HAVE WE HAD A MARKET REVIEW COMPLETED IN THE PAST, AND IF SO, WHEN? MS. BASSI-KELLETT.

MISS WHITE.

SO THERE WAS SOME INFORMATION.

I WOULDN'T CALL IT A MARKET REVIEW, BUT AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS WAS DONE WHEN THE COMMUNITY PLAN WAS DONE.

SO THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN FINISHED, 2018 WOULD BE THE MOST RECENT, SO WE COULD USE THAT AS BASELINE DATA.

BUT I KNOW THE BUREAU OF STATISTICS, THEY'RE UPDATING THEIR INFORMATION QUITE FREQUENTLY, AS DOES STATS CAN.

WE'D BE LOOKING AT OTHER RESOURCES AS WELL.

SO I HESITANTLY SAY 2018.

THANK YOU. THANKS FOR THAT.

SO JUST FOR OURSELVES AND THE PUBLIC TOO SO IS THE BASIS FOR MOVING AHEAD WITH THE KAM LAKE AREA BASED ON THAT FEEDBACK FROM THE THE COMMUNITY PLAN AND THOSE CONVERSATIONS LIKE I.E.

WHY NOT OTHER AREAS OF THE CITY? MS. BASSI-KELLETT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND YES, HISTORICALLY THERE WAS A LOT OF INTEREST THAT WAS EXPRESSED TO ADMINISTRATION.

MISS WHITE, THANK YOU.

SO IF WE LOOK TO THE COMMUNITY PLAN, THAT IS WHERE THE DIRECTION COMES FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.

THIS LAND IS ALREADY DESIGNATED IN THE COMMUNITY PLAN.

SO IT IS CURRENTLY KAM LAKE.

THAT'S WHAT IT'S DESIGNATED AND IT'S IDENTIFIED AS A FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AREA FROM A POLICY PERSPECTIVE, WE WOULD LOOK TO BEGIN NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN AREAS THAT ARE ALREADY IDENTIFIED AND DESIGNATED BEFORE LOOKING AT OTHER OPTIONS.

THANK YOU. GREAT.

THANK YOU. AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE DETAIL THAT YOU PROVIDED ON BOTH MOVING THE PUBLIC CONSULTATION TO THE FRONT END AND ALSO THE ADDITION OF KIND OF OTHER STAKEHOLDERS WHO MIGHT BE POTENTIALLY IMPACTED.

APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU.

COUNCILLOR MCGURK. YES.

THANK YOU. VERY EXCITING.

I AM WONDERING IN TERMS OF THE SORT OF DECISION ON DECISIONS AROUND LAND USE, IF WE WILL BE IF YOU WILL BE INCORPORATING CITY STRATEGIES THAT ALREADY EXIST AND COUNCIL SORT OF STRATEGIC DIRECTION, OR IF IT'S GOING TO BE MORE SORT OF HEAVILY WEIGHTED ON PUBLIC INPUT. MS. BASSI-KELLETT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I'LL TURN IT OVER TO MISS WHITE TO SEE IF SHE'S UNDERSTANDING THE GIST OF IT BETTER THAN I AM.

I THINK YOU'RE BEING VERY, VERY SMART, AND I'M NOT CATCHING ON TODAY, SO THE ANSWER IS YES TO BOTH.

SO GOOD LAND USE PLANNING TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION THE POLICIES THAT ARE IN PLACE, WHAT THE PUBLIC NEEDS ARE, WHAT THE PUBLIC WANTS, AND LOOKING AT WAYS TO COMBINE THAT.

AND SO WE ABSOLUTELY WOULD LOOK AT THINGS.

AND THE ONE THAT'S JUST COMING TO MIND IS THE GROW OR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY, JOINT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY, BECAUSE WE DO KNOW THAT THE LANDS ADJACENT COULD BE POTENTIALLY DEVELOPED BY OTHERS.

SO ALL OF THIS, YES, NEEDS TO BE WORKED TOGETHER INTO THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WHICH WOULD BE REFLECTED AND WE WOULD JUSTIFY IT NOT JUST TO COUNCIL WHEN WE BRING IT FORWARD, BUT TO THE PUBLIC, AND POINT BACK TO WHETHER IT'S THE POLICIES OR THE INDIVIDUAL PLANS AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

THANK YOU. THAT'S GREAT.

THANK YOU. I ALSO AM WONDERING IN TERMS OF WHEN ADMINISTRATION IS PRESENTING THIS INFORMATION, IF IT'S A SITUATION WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO BE PRESENTING OPTIONS OR KIND OF THE MOST IDEAL SITUATION.

MS. BASSI-KELLETT MISS WHITE, I AM HOPEFUL THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF ENGAGEMENT ON THIS AND UNDERSTAND AND HEAR FROM DIFFERENT GROUPS, WANTS AND NEEDS AND CONCERNS.

SO MY HOPE IS IF THAT IS A GOOD, FULL, FULL PUBLIC CONSULTATION, WE WILL COME FORWARD WITH OPTIONS BECAUSE WE ALSO WILL NEED TO COME FORWARD WITH IF IT'S OPTION

[00:45:02]

OPTION B, THIS IS WHAT THE SERVICING LOOKS LIKE.

AND A AND B ALSO THEN ARE GOING TO HAVE DIFFERENT COSTS.

SO IT WOULD BE GREAT.

I'M HOPEFUL THAT YES THERE WOULD BE MULTIPLE OPTIONS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

I LOOK FORWARD TO THAT. THANK YOU.

OH. COUNCILLOR HENDRICKSEN.

SORRY. SURPRISED YOU THERE? THANKS.

MAYOR ALTY. JUST IN TERMS OF IN THE WATER OR THE THE SERVICE CONSIDERATION, DO WE HAVE A DATE OR IDEA YET? AND MAYBE IT'S IN A WORK PLAN, AND I'VE JUST AM NOT THINKING OF IT IN THE MOMENT FOR WHEN THE WATER AND SEWER RATE REVIEW FINAL REPORT IS MEANT TO COME TO COUNCIL, BECAUSE I THINK THAT WILL REALLY INFLUENCE SORT OF PEOPLE'S THINKING ABOUT THE LONGER TERM COSTS AND WHETHER THEY WANT TO BUY INTO SOMETHING IN THIS AREA, IF IT'S GOING TO BE ON TRUCKED, AND IF THE RATES ARE GOING TO POTENTIALLY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE OR NOT.

BUT WITHOUT THAT SORT OF COMPREHENSION.

SO DO WE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHEN THAT FINAL WATER RATE REVIEW WILL COME TO COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION? MS. BASSI-KELLETT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE QUESTION.

AND SO WE'RE ANTICIPATING IT WILL BE SOMETIME IN 2024.

THIS ONE HIT SOME ROADBLOCKS IN 2023 THAT WE HAVE TO START TO TURN OUR HEADS BACK TO IT TO BE ABLE TO BRING A PRODUCT FORWARD.

SO IT IS COOKING, AND WE'RE HOPING TO BRING IT BACK THIS YEAR.

THANKS. THANK YOU.

SEEING NOTHING FURTHER.
