Notices of Motions (For Consideration at Subsequent Meeting)

 

6.1
Councillor S. Devine (for Councillor T. Kavanagh) - Inventory of Generators in High-Rise Apartment Buildings

 
  • Motion No. CPSC2023-04-03

    Whereas the City of Ottawa is experiencing more frequent storms and unpredictable weather; and

    Whereas outages of power have become lengthier due to severity of storms; and

    Whereas power outages result in elevators and water pumps not functioning; and

    Whereas people with mobility issues, the elderly, and parents of young children are stranded in their apartments; and  

    Whereas buildings that are higher than 6 floors without a generator often means that water cannot be pumped to their unit; and

    Whereas it would be helpful to emergency service teams, such as Fire and Paramedics to know in advance which buildings have generators and which do not;  

    Therefore be it resolved that City Staff undertake creating an inventory of residential buildings six-storeys or taller in Ottawa without generators; and

    Therefore be it further resolved that councillors be surveyed to list buildings they are aware of that do not have generators and require extra assistance, so as to help formulate a comprehensive list.
