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

SORRY, I'M JUST GETTING MY NOTES ORGANIZED.

YEAH. THE CITY WAS SELECTED A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO TO BE ONE OF A NUMBER OF COMMUNITY ENTITIES FOR THE FEDERAL REACHING HOME INITIATIVE, AND PART OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE REACHING HOME FUNDING IS THAT WE DEVELOP A FIVE YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN THAT OUTLINES OUR PROPOSED APPROACH ON TACKLING HOMELESSNESS.

IT'S NO SURPRISE THAT, OF COURSE, IN DOING SO, OUR PLAN EMPHASIZES COLLABORATION AND COORDINATION WITH NGOS, SERVICE DELIVERY ORGANIZATION AND OTHER ORDERS OF GOVERNMENT AS WELL.

CAB HAS BEEN INTEGRAL IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PLAN.

AND NOW TODAY WE PRESENT THIS TO GPC FOR YOUR REVIEW AND FURTHERANCE TO COUNCIL.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS, DISCUSSION.

COUNCILLOR FEQUET.

THANKS, MADAM CHAIR.

JUST A QUESTION ON PAGE FIVE OF THE DOCUMENT.

I GUESS IT'S PAGE NINE OF THE GPC.

UNDER SECTION THREE, COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS.

I WAS JUST WONDERING IF EITHER THE CHAIR OR MADAM MAYOR OR ADMIN COULD CLARIFY THAT TOP ROW OF GOVERNMENT OF NORTHWEST TERRITORIES, THAT 9.5 MILLION.

I DID LOOK AT THE DRAFT HOMELESSNESS STRATEGY BELOW, AND I NOTICED THAT MOST OF THE FUNDING HASN'T BEEN ALLOCATED YET.

SO I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF YOU COULD ELABORATE ON WHAT MAKES UP THAT THAT NICE DOLLAR AMOUNT.

THAT'S THE FIGURE FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES.

THEY PROVIDE THAT TO OUR STAFF TO INCLUDE IN IT.

BUT MS. BASSI-KELLETT ANY FURTHER DETAIL ON THAT? THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MADAM CHAIR.

THAT'S EXACTLY IT. SO THIS IS A PROJECTED AMOUNT FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES.

IT IS SOMETHING THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THEIR HOMELESSNESS STRATEGY OVERALL.

AND IT IS, OF COURSE, PROJECTIONS FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, BECAUSE OF COURSE, THERE MAY BE SOME ADJUSTMENTS YEAR OVER YEAR WITH THE DIRECTION THAT THEY WANT TO TAKE.

I'LL SEE IF MR. WHITE HAS ANYTHING ELSE THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO ADD.

THANK YOU. THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY, BUT I HAVE NOTHING NEW TO ADD.

THANKS. THANKS FOR THAT.

SO JUST TO CONFIRM, IS THAT AMOUNT THE PROJECTED AMOUNT COMING TO THE CITY OF YELLOWKNIFE OR ALL OF THE DIFFERENT PARTNERS WHO WOULD BE KIND OF WORKING UNDER THIS STRATEGY TOGETHER? AND IS THAT DO WE KNOW IF THAT'S CASH OR IN KIND OR A COMBO? THAT'S JUST THE TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT'S PROJECTION ON HOW MUCH THEY WOULD SPEND ON HOMELESSNESS PROJECTS IN YELLOWKNIFE.

SO NOTHING COMING TO THE CITY.

THE TWO 60 FOR THE CITY IS OUR SALARIES FOR STAFF WORKING ON THIS.

SO THIS IS JUST TO SHOW THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT IT'S NOT ONLY THEIR CONTRIBUTION, BUT THE TERRITORIAL AND THE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS ARE ALSO CONTRIBUTING TO ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS IN YELLOWKNIFE.

MS. BASSI-KELLETT ANYTHING FURTHER TO ADD? THAT'S EXACTLY IT. AND THAT I'M SURE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT IS DEMONSTRATING THAT WE ARE ALL PUTTING SOME SOMETHING TOWARDS ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS IN OUR CITY.

THANK YOU. AWESOME.

THANKS. LAST QUESTION.

JUST WHEN DID WE RECEIVE THAT NUMBER FROM THE GNWT? JUST WONDERING HOW CURRENT WE EXPECT THAT TO BE.

I ASSUME MARCH.

MARCH OR APRIL WHEN WE WERE DEVELOPING THE PLAN.

MS. BASSI-KELLETT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THAT'S CORRECT. IT WAS BEFORE THE GNWT APPROVED THEIR 2425 BUDGET, WHICH WAS JUST IN MAY.

SO IT WAS AN ANTICIPATED ESTIMATE THAT WE WERE USING THAT WE WERE OPERATING ON KNOWING FULL WELL THAT IT IS A PROJECTION.

THANK YOU.

SEEING NOTHING FURTHER.

WE WILL BRING THIS FORWARD TO COUNCIL ON MONDAY, JULY 22ND AT 7 P.M..

NEXT, WE HAVE THE SUMMATION FROM OUR PUBLIC HEARING ON THE LAND ADMINISTRATION BYLAW.

[5. A memorandum regarding summation of Public Hearing on By‐law 5078, a by‐law to repeal and replace Land Administration By‐law No. 4596, as amended.]

AND TO NOTE WE'LL BE GOING FORWARD WITH SECOND AND THIRD READING TONIGHT.

IF SOMEBODY DID WANT TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO THE BYLAW AT SECOND READING TO GIVE EFFECT TO WHAT WE HEARD TONIGHT WOULD BE THE OPPORTUNITY.

AND JUST A REMINDER, BECAUSE WE DID DO A STATUTORY PUBLIC HEARING, THAT YOU'D ONLY BE ABLE TO MAKE CHANGES AT SECOND READING THAT WOULD PUT INTO EFFECT WHAT WE HEARD AT THE

[00:05:04]

STATUTORY PUBLIC HEARING.

ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS, DISCUSSION? COUNCILLOR FEQUET.

THANKS FOR THAT. WHAT ABOUT THE QUESTIONS THAT WE DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY ABOUT WHAT WAS IT, SECTION FIVE, THE SALE, THE MARKET VALUE QUESTION.

SO WE'RE JUST SKIMMING TO IT RIGHT NOW.

IT WAS THE CLAUSE AROUND THAT THOSE LANDS SHALL BE SOLD.

NUMBER OF SECTION FIVE, PAGE EIGHT OF THAT DOCUMENT.

THE PRICE OF THE LAND MUST BE EQUIVALENT TO ITS APPRAISED VALUE OR THE DEVELOPMENT COST, WHICHEVER IS HIGHER.

WE HAD DISCUSSED OR WE ASKED A QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER THAT WOULD PREVENT STRATEGIC DECISIONS, SUCH AS THE 5050 LOT IN THE FUTURE, OR WHETHER THAT WOULD ALLOW IT WOULD BE THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE BYLAW, BECAUSE THE LAND ADMINISTRATION OR LAND ADMINISTRATION POLICY REQUIRES THAT THE MUNICIPAL BOUNDARY EITHER CHARGE THE RECOVERY RATES OR THE MARKET RATES, BUT MS. BASSI-KELLETT. I'LL ASK MISS FOYT IF SHE'D LIKE TO WEIGH IN.
