Deputy Mayor O'Leary requested that an update on the status of affordable housing units be added to the Committee of the Whole Agenda for July 9, 2020. She also requested a letter of support be sent in relation to FCM's request for $10 Billion in emergency municipal operating funding.
Councillor Burton requested that a former decision note of May 5, 2020 entitled "Transportation Changes in Response to COVID 19" be brought forward for further discussion at the July 9th meeting of Committee of the Whole.
Councillor Hickman requested that further discussion be held on adjustments for some traffic pedestrian crossing signals (i.e. Parkway, Columbus Drive and Kelsey Drive at Messenger Drive). As noted above, this decision note will be discussed at Committee of the Whole. He also questioned, in light of recent collisions, whether staff could review approaches and adjusting the signage at Rawlins Cross.
Councillor Jamieson reported that she has accepted a position of Program Manager with a National Housing Program which places her in a conflict of interest position on Council. As a result, she informed Council that she intends to resign her seat on Council within the next month. She commended Council and staff and the accomplishments that have been made during her term and expressed a keen interest in continuing to work with the City on affordable housing in her new capacity.
