WHEREAS the President of the Hellenic Community of Ottawa has further requested that the commemorative blades be installed, as a pilot project and at their expense, on a temporary basis for the month of August; and

WHEREAS staff has advised that this request falls outside of the City’s Tourism and Public Service Signs Policy (TPSSP), which addresses commemorative blades for  designated heritage conservation districts or areas of dense populations of distinct cultures (e.g. Preston Street and Somerset Street), and an exemption to this Policy is required; 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT City Council approve an exemption to the City’s Tourism and Public Service Signs Policy to permit the installation of “Reflections of Greece/ Reflets de la Grèce” commemorative blades, as indicated in Attachment 1 of this motion, to be consistent with the City’s sign standards, along Prince of Wales Drive between Dynes Road and Forest Hill Avenue, as a pilot project for the month of August for 2016, 2017 and 2018, on the understanding that the creation, installation, maintenance, and removal of the commemorative blades will be funded by the Hellenic Community of Ottawa.

 

 


 

MOTION

Moved by: Councillor M. Fleury

Seconded by: Councillor J. Leiper

WHEREAS the City of Ottawa is dedicated to the preservation and continued enhancement of its historic ByWard Market and, with those goals in mind, works in collaboration with the ByWard Market Standholders Association (BMSA), an organization that represents the interests of all standholders on the ByWard Market; and

WHEREAS in 2008, City Council approved that a 4.5% surcharge be added to the stand permit fees collected by the City under the ByWard Market Program By-law (2008-449, as amended), such that the revenues from the surcharge be remitted to the BMSA by way of grant to support the BMSA’s delivery of services to its members, such as promotion and advertising; and

WHEREAS, on February 26, 2014, City Council changed the surcharge from a percentage to a flat fee and established the BMSA surcharge to be $20.00 per monthly permit and $2.00 per daily permit; and

WHEREAS, due to decreasing revenue derived from stand permit issuance, the BMSA, at its 2016 Annual General Meeting, voted to request a modest increase to the BMSA monthly and daily permit surcharge, to help maintain revenue levels and address increasing costs; and

WHEREAS, the BMSA is requesting an increase in the surcharge that will result in a $25 surcharge on a per monthly permit or equivalent, and a $3 surcharge per daily permit; and

WHEREAS there are no net budget implications to the City of Ottawa, as the fees are given back to the BMSA in the form of a grant with the amount of the grant being equal to the amount collected; and

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that City Council approve that the ByWard Market Program By-law be amended to establish that the surcharges remitted to the ByWard Market Standholders Association are $25 per monthly permit or equivalent, and $3 per daily permit, effective July 15, 2016, and that the 2016 revenue and expenditure portions of the Markets budget be adjusted accordingly, with no net impact to the City’s operating budget
