as part of the City’s Official Plan, working with many other senior’s groups,
not duplicating efforts, not forgetting the rural areas, working with many
other cultural and language communities, document funding well and in timely
fashion and need for volunteers.

following delegations:
1) Dianne Breton, Age Friendly Ottawa. She stated that the report was very
positive and thanked staff for the work and amount of consultation that had
gone into it.

described in the Report and detailed in Document 1;
|
|
2. Approve
amendments to Schedule 24 to the Business Licensing By-law (By-law No.

where there is sufficient sidewalk space for pedestrian traffic, customers
and street furniture;
|
|
3. Direct
staff to work with existing licensees, potential street vendors and other
stakeholders to explore opportunities for more “Street Food” on private

|
|
4. Direct
staff to review the Business Licensing By-law, the Designated Space Program
By-law and the Vendors on Highways By-law (By-law No. 2005-358, as amended)
to streamline and modernize the regulations consistent with the

Following the presentation Councillors questioned
staff regarding various issues such as: concerns with the selection
committee and that food served should be selected by vendor and what the
clients want, hoping that not many are grandfathered so that we get
variety, not role of City to tell vendors what to sell, hope that the City
can be flexible on distance and size of carts, praise for work and
consultation and finding middle ground.
The Committee then heard from the
following delegations:
1) Terry Scanlon, vendor for 30 years. Was pleased with report and happy
that the report seemed to please all parties, which at times cannot be easy
to do. He did have concerns regarding the selection committee and the idea
that they would dictate what food to serve.
2) Heather Hossie, Savour Ottawa. Is very pleased and supportive
of the report and feels the selection committee will bring variety and good
healthy food to the carts and trucks.
3) Eduardo Bailetti, aspiring
vendor/entrepreneur.
Had questions regarding criteria which will be used by selection committee
and the number of licenses a person could have. These were answered by
staff.
The report recommendations were
then put to Committee and CARRIED as presented.
