  Moved by A. Troster

  WHEREAS A Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) is an agreement, typically involving developers of infrastructure and building projects, municipal or other governments, and community coalitions, intended to achieve a broad range of socio-economic outcomes from infrastructure and building projects. 
  Whereas Community Benefits Agreements (CBAs) are typically founded on a shared, legally binding commitment between government, the private sector (e.g., developers and contractors) and communities to commit to socio-economic outcomes from construction and infrastructure projects through an effective, efficient, transparent, fair and inclusive process. 
  Whereas there are approximately 400 CBAs implemented or under negotiation in North America. 

  WHEREAS comparable programs to Build Ottawa, like Housing Now in the City of Toronto, have included the development of community benefits agreements as a condition of disposal of property. 

  WHEREAS potential community benefits may include, but not be limited to equitable hiring practices, funding for training, public realm enhancements; and greater accessibility; and 

  WHEREAS Build Ottawa is mandated to seek “Optimal Value” to the City’s taxpayers, which is to be seen as pertaining to both community and economic benefits; and 

  WHEREAS Community Benefits Agreements have also been negotiated as part of major development applications in Ottawa, such as the Manor Park Estates and Herongate agreements; and, 

  WHEREAS recent provincial legislation including Bill 23 and Bill 109 has significantly reduced the amount that developers are required to contribute in terms of community benefit, through the elimination of Section 37 and the introduction of Community Benefits Charges; 

  THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Build Ottawa be directed to incorporate potential community benefits including, but not be limited to equitable hiring practices, funding for training, public realm enhancements; and greater accessibility when developing evaluation criteria for the disposal of surplus lands.
