By-laws (2026) - 21213, (2026) - 21219, (2026) - 21221…

3:54:25And so Councillor Booth,

3:54:29oh, I thought we would do bylaws and then,

3:54:31and then we can,

3:54:33because there's nothing in closed

3:54:34that will impact the bylaws.

3:54:36So I'm okay to do the bylaws, right?

3:54:37Yep, okay, good.

3:54:38So Councillor Boussatile will do the bylaws

3:54:40and then we'll head back into a closed session quickly, okay?

3:54:44Councillor Boussatile, please.

3:54:45Thank you.

3:54:46And through the mayor, that bylaws 202621213,

3:54:5021219, 21221, 21222, 21224,

3:54:56be approved subject to subsection 284,

3:55:00subsection 11, four of the municipal act.

3:55:09Okay, thank you.

3:55:10And just one more,

3:55:11just one second here if you don't mind.

3:55:13I think clerks, do you have another motion?

3:55:16I'm sorry, that was tabled.

3:55:20Not tabled, sorry.

3:55:21That was ready to go about Brownfield.

3:55:26You didn't get that?

3:55:28Okay.

3:55:31Councillor Goller,

3:55:32because I remember you indicating

3:55:33that you wanted to move that.

3:55:35Can I, I'm very sorry.

3:55:36I forgot to, there was an email that was sent out

3:55:40a week and a bit ago.

3:55:41Maybe a week ago in regards to directing staff

3:55:46to consider to look into the Brown,

3:55:47to the reconstituting and reestablishing

3:55:51and looking at the Brownfield grants.

3:55:53I had sent that to all of council.

3:55:57Councillor Goller, I believe you did mention to me

3:55:59that you would be willing to move it

3:56:02and Councillor Keran would be willing to second it, I think.

3:56:06If I recall, sorry, I'm going on the fly.

3:56:08I know we've just done the bylaws.

3:56:10Do I have permission here to just tie this motion

3:56:14for us back to the presentation that was just done?

3:56:18Because that's where it was good to land.

3:56:20Do I have, does anyone go to challenge me on that?

3:56:25No, okay.

3:56:26So do we have the motion that's ready to go?

3:56:28I'm sorry, I forgot about that.

3:56:30Yeah, okay, just give us a moment, okay, everybody?

3:56:43Just over to, through to the clerks.

3:56:47I just flipped you a copy.

3:57:04And so just as the clerks was looking to bring that up,

3:57:07this was something that we were looking to see

3:57:12if there would be council support

3:57:13to move forward on with staff.

3:57:16Because we're talking about housing,

3:57:18we're talking about incentives for housing,

3:57:20we're talking about removing barriers for housing.

3:57:24We have had successful programs in that realm in the past.

3:57:29One of them that we can maybe look at

3:57:33is in regards to Brownfield grants

3:57:36that have been used in the past

3:57:38to help accelerate and build housing.

3:57:42So with it being tied to the Housing and Guelph

3:57:462025 annual report, we felt it was important

3:57:49to bring that forward at this time.

3:57:51So clerks is ready.

3:57:54Is it okay to put up on the screen, Councillor Gowar?

3:57:57Okay, and then Councillor Gowar,

3:57:59if you don't mind reading it out for us.

3:58:02Thank you, your worship, for bringing this idea forward.

3:58:04I'd like to move that staff be directed

3:58:06to explore next steps to reestablish

3:58:08the Brownfield Community Improvement Plan

3:58:12and to report back to council in early 2027.

3:58:16Great, thank you.

3:58:17And I think I tried to do it justice in my preamble there.

3:58:21Is there anything staff want to add to that?

3:58:23It's been moved by Gowar and Koran.

3:58:28Anything to add before I call the vote?

3:58:30Terry?

3:58:31To your manager, we've got three just that staff

3:58:33are in support of the idea here.

3:58:34We can certainly get this work done

3:58:36within the timeframe that council has identified.

3:58:39And we do also have past success with this program

3:58:42in terms of unlocking housing.

3:58:43So it's definitely something worth looking into

3:58:46from our perspective.

3:58:48Great, thank you.

3:58:49Okay, is it okay if I call the vote on that then, everybody?

3:58:52Okay, I'll do that now.

3:58:53Is anyone against that direction?

3:58:58Nobody?

3:58:58Okay, that's unanimous as well.

3:59:00Nothing but unanimous here today, it's good.

3:59:02Okay, so I'm very sorry about that little mix up there

3:59:05and thanks for letting us go back

3:59:06to make sure that was captured under that item.

3:59:09And the bylaws are now done.

3:59:11So we do need a motion now to go back into,

3:59:17oh, so we didn't even do the bylaws yet.

3:59:19Oh, good, so actually I did it right

3:59:20before we did the bylaws.

3:59:22Good, so moved by yourself, seconded by councillor Downer

3:59:25for the bylaws.

3:59:26Anything on the bylaws, anybody?

3:59:29Nothing, I'll call the vote then

3:59:30as anyone against the bylaws.

3:59:33And that's nobody, so that is unanimous as well.

3:59:36All right, now for real this time,

3:59:38I do need a motion to move back into closed session.

3:59:41I do have to read it all out one more time.

3:59:44So it's under land use planning and legal considerations

3:59:48as per section 239, 3.11 of the municipal act

3:59:52regarding a meeting held for the purpose of educating

3:59:54or training the members.
