Motions (Requiring Suspension of the Rules of Procedure)

 

MOTION NO. 10/22

 

Moved by Councillor D. Holmes

Seconded by Councillor M. McRae

 

That the Rules of Procedure be waived to consider and approve the following:

 

WHEREAS Provision 25(l) of the Private Approach By-law, states that, where a property abuts on or is within 46 metres of an arterial or major collector highway as designated in the City of Ottawa Official Plan, the minimum distance between the private approach and the nearest intersecting street line or its extension shall be 75 metres; 

 

AND WHEREAS the existing private approach on Slater Street serving 180 Kent Street is located approximately 45 metres west of Kent Street, and the proposed private approach shall be located approximately 30 metres west of Kent Street;

 

AND WHEREAS the application has been circulated to City staff through the Site Plan Control process as file D07-12-05-0162, and no technical or safety concerns were expressed with respect to the private approach;

 

AND WHEREAS projected peak hour vehicle volumes are 30 vehicles per hour with volumes substantially less during all other hours of the day and thus the private approach is not expected to compromise the operation of the adjacent Slater/Kent Street intersection;

 

AND WHEREAS Slater Street is a one-way eastbound, and has sufficient distance from Lyon Street, thus making the potential for inbound queues is negligible;

 

AND WHEREAS the 15 metre easterly shift of the ramp will increase the offset from the adjacent bus stop to the west thus improving sight lines for vehicles exiting the garage;

 

AND WHEREAS the primary function of the private approach is to accommodate right-in/right-out movements to the truck court and the secondary function is to serve as a an alternate exit to the Laurier Street exit for outbound pass-holders during the afternoon peak period;

 

BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that Provision 25 (l) of the Private Approach By-law 2003-447 be waived to permit the existing private approach on Slater Street serving 180 Kent Street to be relocated approximately 30 metres from the Kent Street street line.

Seconded by Councillor M. McRae

 

That the Rules of Procedure be waived to consider and approve the following:

 

WHEREAS on 14 December 2006, Ottawa City Council considered and approved a recommendation from the Nominating Committee, which recommended the appointment of Mayor O’Brien to the Congress Centre Board of Directors and directed that the 2 remaining City of Ottawa seats on the Congress Centre Board of Directors be filled by “2 business leaders to be appointed through a public selection process”;

Notices of Motion (For Consideration at Subsequent Meeting)

 

MOTION

 

Moved by Councillor C. Doucet

Seconded by Councillor J. Harder

 

WHEREAS the existing MPAC tax assessment system is unpredictable and volatile; 

 

WHEREAS the changes in property taxes due to MPAC assessments often dwarf changes in the city’s budget;

 

WHEREAS the volatility of MPAC assessments forces many people on fixed incomes to sell their homes because the taxes they pay rise much faster than the rate of inflation;  

 

WHEREAS the cost of running the city and providing services is not being shared by all residents equitably as a result of the provincially mandated assessment system; 

 

WHEREAS the lifting of the freeze on tax assessments will make the potential for zero tax increases impossible to achieve real for a substantial portion of Ottawa;

 

WHEREAS the City of Ottawa must pay MPAC over $10 million a year and their annual “fee” has been rising beyond the rate of inflation even while assessments have been frozen.

 

WHEREAS the recent provincial budget announced that "Residents will be assessed once every four years.  In the case that their assessment rises, the increase will be spread over four years”;

 

WHEREAS the change announced will not address fundamental inequities, volatility or fairness;

 

WHEREAS reduction in assessment frequency does not come with an accompanying reduction in the cost of MPAC;

 

WHEREAS the four year timing of assessments will highlight problems closer to municipal elections and hence make them less evident during provincial elections;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Ottawa ask Queens Park to reconsider the fundamental nature of the assessment system and of MPAC’s legislated monopoly with an objective of introducing assessment reform which is predictable, fair and empowers municipalities rather than making them scapegoats.

 

 

MOTION

 

Moved by Councillor M. Wilkinson

Seconded by Councillor S. Desroches

 

WHEREAS there is an increasing concern over the use of landfill sites situated in proximity to local communities; and

 

WHEREAS one way to extend the life of existing landfill sites while alternative ways of dealing with waste are explored is to find ways to re-use items that might otherwise be discarded in the garbage; and

 

WHEREAS the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association held a successful Give-Away Day in 2006 where residents placed unwanted items at the curb for others to take; and

 

WHEREAS staff of the City of Ottawa agree that holding a City-wide Give-Away Day would be both a useful way to reduce waste going to landfill and a financial saving for the City of Ottawa; and

 

WHEREAS a Give-Away Day only requires information and publicity to be successful;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Ottawa support a City-wide Give-Away Day on June 23rd, 2007 with a rain date of June 24, 2007 where residents can clear out their unwanted items while benefiting others; and

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that staff work with residents who have held successful Give-Away Days to develop the necessary information and publicity for the event; and

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that staff provide an evaluation of this event with the objective of holding two Give-Away Days per year if the event is deemed successful.
