the Environment and Waste Services (CA) Inc. for consideration;
2. Approve
that the City adopt the Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) recommendation
to initiate an expedited review of its current waste management strategy, which
would create a comprehensive IC&I sector waste plan that would consolidate,
update and improve the Integrated Waste Management Master Plan (IWMMP). This
comprehensive waste plan for the IC&I sector would: create a blueprint for waste management in
Ottawa; address opportunities to increase diversion in relation to IC&I
waste (70% of Ottawa’s waste); explore how alternative technologies could be
employed (building on the review that the City of Ottawa will be conducting on
alternative technologies); and assess the need for expansion of the Carp and
Navan Road Landfills;
3. Approve
that this IC&I sector review be done as expeditiously as possible under the
Environmental Assessment Act and address the need for landfill
expansions in light of an analysis of “alternatives to” landfill expansions;
4. Approve
that the City ask the Ontario Minister of the Environment to reject the Terms
of Reference for the Carp and Navan Road landfill expansions as not being in
the public interest, in light of the environmental assessment the City would
undertake on an updated and consolidated IC&I waste plan and residential
efforts already underway;
5. Request
that the Ministry of the Environment:
a)
Provide a complete copy of
Waste Services Inc (WSI) waste management facility’s Certificate of Approval,
and any other related provincial, municipal or federal permits, approvals
and/or agreements, to the City and be placed on the public record for review;
b)
Provide all regulatory
compliance reports and complaint/response records for the Navan Road waste
management facility, submitted by the proponent, WSI to the MOE for the last 10
years of operation;
c)
Hold in abeyance any further
review of the Terms of Reference until the regulatory compliance status of the
Navan site and operations of WSI is confirmed; and
d) That
Council circulate this motion to the Premier of Ontario, the Minister of the
Environment, all Ottawa area M.P.P.s, the Association of Municipalities of
Ontario and the appropriate staff at the Ministry of the Environment;
6. Request the Minister of the
Environment to:
a)
Allow the City and the
public to present further submissions in response to any amended ToR proposal
by WSI that may be filed in the future to MOE, and that the City and the public
be given no less than 180 days to respond to any such amended proposal;
b)
Require any EA conducted by
WSI be peer reviewed by independent experts paid for by WSI and that the review
be supervised by the City of Ottawa; and
c) That Council circulate this motion
to the Premier of Ontario, Minister of the Environment, all Ottawa area
M.P.P.s, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and the appropriate staff
at the Ministry of the Environment.
7. Request the Ministry of the
Environment to:
a)
Consider the full public
record compiled as a result of the Terms of Reference and advise the City of
actions to be undertaken in conjunction with its review of the Terms of
Reference; and
b) That Council Circulate this motion to the Premier of Ontario, all Ottawa area M.P.P.s, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and the appropriate staff at the Ministry of the Environment;
8. Allocate $250,000 from the City Wide
Capital Reserve Fund for the retention by the City Solicitor of such external

TRANSPORTATION
COMMITTEE REPORT 39
1. ACCESSIBLE
TRANSIT IN OTTAWA FOR SENIORS AND PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES |
That Council direct staff to:
1. thoroughly investigate and develop
solutions to the chronic Para Transpo issues below:
·
The
service is not reliable or dependable enough to use for work related travel;
·
A
regular booking or even an occasional booking for recreation activities is next
to impossible and when it happens individuals often have to wait two to three
hours for pickup;
·
The
requirement to book 24 hours in advance does not allow for any spontaneity;
·
The phone booking system is a built-in
barrier. People cannot get through, get
discouraged and give up. The option of
booking online as is done in other cities should be available;
·
A
booking does not guarantee that the service will arrive on time and in fact
Para Transpo often arrives late for pickups at both ends of the ride;
·
After
9 a.m. on any given day, the system is already often booked for the next day;
·
Inefficient trip planning leads to
rides which should only take 20 minutes to last for up to one and a half hours.
2. consider potential solutions that are outside of the traditionally defined parallel service (door-to-door service by reservation such as Para Transpo), which might more closely resemble the regular bus service (regularly scheduled routes to popular or central destinations).
3. bring forward the budget implications of service improvements to Para
Transpo to the 2007 budget process.
4. consult with Coventry Connections,
as part of the service improvement options report, on how to improve the
dispatch function for Para Transpo; and that By-law Services also report on the
use of accesible cabs by Para Transpo and the availability of accessible cabs
outside of official Para Transpo use.

City of Ottawa by Queen Elizabeth II in 1967 as a centennial commemoration;
AND WHEREAS residents of the City of
Ottawa have, for the past 40 years, shown pride and interest in the Royal Swans
as part of Ottawa’s heritage;
AND WHEREAS the public has expressed great
concern that the Royal Swans were not given their freedom this spring, as is
the normal practice, to spend the spring, summer and fall on the river;
AND WHEREAS the housing for the Royal Swans
at the Leitrim facility, judged to be of questionable suitability for winter
confinement of five months duration, is fully unacceptable, by any humane
standards, for eighteen months of forced captivity;
AND WHEREAS there are improvements that the
City of Ottawa can and should make immediately to upgrade this facility to
ensure a humane standard of care;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that a Task Force

WHEREAS On March 8, 2006 Council approved by-law
2006-79 to set the instalment due dates and the interest and penalty rates
applicable to the collection of property taxes for 2006;
AND WHEREAS, as stated in by-law
2006-79, a penalty for late payment of 1.25% per month
is added the day following the due date and the first day of each month
thereafter. Payments on account are
applied first toward the outstanding interest and penalty, then to the oldest
outstanding taxes;
AND WHEREAS
residents express frustration and dissatisfaction with the rigidity of the
above penalty rates being applied when circumstances are out of their control
such as late delivery by Canada Post;

WHEREAS the
Province of Ontario in response to AMO’s 2005 call for a solution to the 3
billion dollar Provincial Municipal fiscal gap has announced a
“Provincial-Municipal Fiscal and Service Delivery Review”;
AND WHEREAS
Ontario is the only province in Canada that requires property taxes to
subsidize provincial health and social services programs, like welfare and
employment services, disability benefits, drug benefits, social housing, child
care, homes for the aged, public health and ambulance services;
AND WHEREAS
eliminating this subsidy would significantly reduce Ottawa property taxes. For the average homeowner, property taxes
would be reduced by $666, a decrease of 26.1%, and for the average commercial
property, taxes would fall by $2,024, a decrease of 13.7%;
AND WHEREAS
this fiscal review is a critical first step in providing much needed property
tax relief;
AND
WHEREAS it has been a long standing principle that income redistribution
programs be funded by income taxes and not property taxes;
THEREFORE BE
IT RESOLVED that Ottawa City Council support the Provincial-Municipal Fiscal
and Service Delivery Review and urge the Association of Municipalities of
Ontario (AMO) to ensure that the primary focus of the review is a solution to
the provincial municipal fiscal gap that will provide much needed property tax
relief.
