WHEREAS
as the regulator for private cannabis retail in Ontario, the Alcohol and Gaming
Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has the authority to license, regulate and enforce
the sale of recreational cannabis in privately run stores in Ontario; and
WHEREAS
on December 13th, 2018, Council agreed to "opt-in" to the Provincial direction
to allow Cannabis Retail to occur in the City of Ottawa, subject to a process
whereby staff review the locations under consideration and provide comments
back to AGCO on "key Principle" matters Council considers to be in
the public interest; and
WHEREAS
Council considers a matter of public interest to include a 150 metre distance
separation from other Licensed Cannabis Stores, as the Board of Health has
noted concerns that excessive clustering and geographic concentration of
cannabis retail outlets may encourage undesirable health outcomes, and Economic
Development and Planning are concerned that over-concentration may cause undesirable
impacts on the economic diversity of a retail streetscape including the
distortion of lease rates, economic speculation, and the removal of opportunity
for other commercial businesses; and
WHEREAS the city has received concerns from local Business Improvement
Associations about impacts of over concentration of cannabis retail on the
diversity of businesses locating in key retail areas and impacts on leasing rates;
and
WHEREAS
the AGCO has not, in the consideration of applications processed and approved
to date, considered the key principles articulated by Council, including the
concerns over the clustering of cannabis retail, as meeting their criteria as a
matter of public interest; and
WHEREAS
cannabis retail is a new and unproven market, and no studies or precedent
exists to determine the number or distribution of stores that can reasonably be
supported by the local economy, and it is therefore prudent to establish the
means by which the AGCO, with input from a municipality, can regulate over-concentration
as the cannabis retail market evolves;
THEREFORE
BE IT RESOLVED that Council direct the Mayor, on behalf of City Council, to
write the Honourable Rod Phillips, Minister of Finance of Ontario, and the
Honourable Doug Downey, Attorney General of Ontario, requesting the Ministry modify
the regulations governing the establishment of cannabis retail stores to instruct
the Alcohol and Gaming Commission to consider over-concentration (such as a separation
distance of 150 metres) as an evaluation criteria, and provide added weight to
the comments of a municipality concerning matters in the public interest when
considering the application of new stores.

WHEREAS in order to be able to register a part lot control by-law, the
legal description, including the subdivision plan number must be contained
within the by-law; and
WHEREAS there may closings relating to a registered plan of
subdivision that will not be able to proceed if a part lot control exemption
by-law is not enacted; and
WHEREAS the Municipal Act, sections 9, 10, 11 and 23.1 permit
the City to delegate the power to enact certain by-laws;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Council approves the following:
Between July 15, 2020 and August 31, 2020, inclusive, Council delegates
to the Director of Planning Services of the Planning, Infrastructure and
Economic Development Department, the authority to enact by-laws for the exemption
from Part Lot Control pursuant to the Planning Act, section 50 in respect
of the land for which a part lot control exemption is sought. Such authority
shall be dependent upon the Director having received the concurrence of the
Ward Councillor prior to enactment.

plan for the community improvement project area; and
WHEREAS Section 5.2.5 of the City of Ottawa Official Plan contemplates
the preparation of Community Improvement Plans for designated Community
Improvement Project Areas;
WHEREAS on November 14, 2012 City Council approved the “Economic
Development and Innovation Department Work Program”, which included a strategy
to develop an Orléans Community Improvement Plan (the “Orléans CIP”) as one of two pilots; and
WHEREAS on September 11, 2013 City Council enacted By-law 2013-293 to adopt the Orléans
CIP; and
WHEREAS Section 5.3 of the Orléans CIP indicated
that a Tax Incentive Equivalent Grant program would be offered for an initial

approved by City Council; and
WHEREAS the principal goal of the Orléans
Community Improvement Plan is to attract major knowledge-based employers to the
area and to encourage the creation of new high-quality jobs; and
WHEREAS construction of Stage 2 of the
Confederation Line is already underway with the east extension from Blair
Station to Trim Road scheduled to be finished in 2022 and whereas higher
densities near stations and the expected increase in transit ridership would provide
new opportunities for private investment in property revitalization in Orléans
with associated employment increases as envisioned in the Orléans CIP; and
Whereas the Ward Councillors and staff continue to
receive expressions of interest in extending the Orléans CIP grant program;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Council approve that

WHEREAS
COVID-19 is expected to be a risk to the community for some period of time; and
WHEREAS
the use of non-medical masks is “recommended for periods of time when it is not
possible to consistently maintain a 2-metre physical distance from others, particularly

as noted on the federal government’s COVID-19 Prevention and Risks website and
also on the Ontario government’s COVID-19 website; and
WHEREAS
it is in everyone’s best interest that as many barriers as possible be removed
to make public access to non-medical masks easier, because these masks are
needed in more and more environments as the economy opens up; and
WHEREAS
the federal and provincial governments can almost immediately lower the cost of
these masks by 13% by eliminating the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) on these newly-essential
items;
THEREFORE
BE IT RESOLVED that City Council request the Mayor write to the federal and
provincial governments to ask that the Harmonized Sales Tax be eliminated for
non-medical masks as soon as possible.

emphasizes the connection between active transportation infrastructure and
mental and physical well-being; and
WHEREAS it is possible to implement low cost temporary traffic measures
on certain corridors to provide additional space on the right of way for active
transportation thereby connecting existing facilities;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT staff within the Transportation
Services Department develop and implement a plan (ActiveOttawa) this summer for
a cost effective greater active transportation network connectivity, expanded
road space for active transportation and safety enhancing measures which reduce
speed, recognizing the needs of residents during the Covid-19 pandemic.

actions and inspired many to stand with them; and
WHEREAS the Integrity Commissioner’s “Report to
Council on an Inquiry Respecting the Conduct of Councillor Chiarelli” (ACS2020-OCC-GEN-0023) concluded that all

7 of the Code of Conduct and has recommended to Council the suspension of the remuneration
paid to this individual for 90 days for each complaint, amounting to 270 days;

Moved by Councillor C. McKenney
Seconded by Councillor S. Menard
WHEREAS our
city, province and nation are currently dealing with continued instances of

Services; and
WHEREAS many
in our community have strongly advocated for the Ottawa Police Services budget
to be reconsidered and reinvested into community health and interventionist
programming; and
WHEREAS many
in our community have called for the reallocation of funds towards frontline,
unarmed mental health citizen response teams for de-escalation;
WHEREAS if
Ottawa City Council had the authority to directly impact the Ottawa Police Services
budget, it could adequately address community concerns and create
solutions; and
WHEREAS if
Ottawa City Council had the authority to impact the Ottawa Police Services
budget, this would ensure greater transparency and strengthen public trust by
making debate and efforts more publicly informed and scrutinized;
and
WHEREAS this
enhanced budgetary role would allow the police board to continue to serve its
purpose, with the only meaningful difference being that Council would be the
highest and final decision-making body, as is already the case for other City
committees and boards; and
WHEREAS other
municipalities across the country have also passed motions that seek to change
their police services in response to growing calls for police reform
THEREFORE BE IT
RESOLVED That City Council direct the City Manager, in consultation with
the Ottawa Police Services Board and Community and Protective Services, to
develop alternative models of community safety response that would:

response to calls which do not involve weapons or violence, such as those
involving individuals experiencing mental health crises and where a police
response is not necessary;
- Reflect the City’s commitment to reconciliation;
- Involve extensive community consultation on
a proposed response model; and
- Detail the likely reductions to the Ottawa
Police Services budget that would result from these changes; and
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED That City Council request the Province of Ontario to amend the Police
Services Act, 1990 to allow for Ottawa City Council to have control over
the Ottawa Police Services Budget by creating a clause in Section 39 that
exempts the City of Ottawa from the following restriction:

39 (4) In establishing an overall
budget for the board, the council does not have the authority to approve or
disapprove specific items in the estimates; and

jurisdictions, which address the use of deadly force, including de-escalation;
