Motions of which Notice has Been Given Previously
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;
BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that the
City of Ottawa support a City-wide Give-Away Day on a Saturday in mid to late
June (rain date on the Sunday) where residents can clear out their unwanted
household items and furniture while benefiting
others; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Section 67 of By-law No,
2006-300, the Solid Waste Management By-law that prohibits scavenging be waived
for the City-wide Give-Away Day; 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, with any information and
publicity to include a requirement that, at the end of the Give-Away Day,
people remove any uncollected items from the curbside; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that
staff prepare an evaluation of this event for the Planning and Environment
Committee, with the objective of holding two Give-Away Days per year if the
event is deemed successful.

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;
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.
