    • In order to objectively and cost-effectively demonstrate adherence to expense policies by all members of Council (including the Mayor), Council direct the City Auditor to immediately determine and execute the best way to verify expenses for all ward council offices and Mayor’s Office budgets for the present Council’s term in office, to identify whether individual or systemic issues exist that require further attention;
    • In order to make all event related expenses easily available to the public (similar to the publicly posted Ward Office expenses), Council direct the Chief Financial Officer to immediately determine and execute the best way to make all centrally disclosed expenses for Members of Council and Administration (e.g. FCM, AUMA, Grey Cup, etc.) publically accessible going back to the beginning of the present Council’s term in office; and
    • In order to address the governance gap that exists in some matters of Council oversight, Council direct the City Manager to work with the City Auditor and other appropriate parties to determine a better governance model for Council oversight that either enhances and/or replaces some processes or responsibilities presently residing with the CCCO to eliminate conflicts of interest for members of Council and ensure that staff within the Office of the Councillors are able to act independently of Council, with recommendations to be presented to Council as soon as possible.

Administrative Inquiry - Working Area of an Operating Hazardous Waste Management Facility
 

Date: February 21, 2020

Submitted Councillor: Shane Keating

Re: Working Area of an Operating Hazardous Waste Management Facility

Businesses operating within 450m of a Working Area of an Operating Hazardous Waste Management Facility are being impacted negatively. Some of the facilities that have this designation share the same requirements as a chemical processing plant or landfill despite being relatively safe work with no risk of exposure of chemicals to employees or residents within the immediate area.

The Businesses and developers that are seeking a variance through the Province to operate near these locations are faced with a difficult, uncertain and drawn out process. This procedure stalls meaningful development, commerce and creates conflict between landlords and renters.

I understand that The City has the ability under the City Charter through bylaw to authorize a subdivisions authority, circumventing Provincial Ministerial Approval. This seems like the best approach for businesses, and as we explore to what capability we can employ this strategy. I think it is important to ask these questions

  • Is this an issue of resources? Do we have the budget and staff to take on the regulation?
  • If resources are a major concern, can we bring in any outside resources?
  • When will this work plan start?
  • What can we do to streamline the process, lessening the negative impacts on business owners and developers?
  • If the concern is funding, is there a way we can utilize a cost-recovery model? I.E. Can we incur an additional fee for businesses dealing with Hazardous Waste Materials?
  • Can we look at different categories for hazardous waste sites so that we limit the need for exemption, if it is appropriate?
