Background Information (City Council)

Motions (City Council)

Motion to Introduce Motion without Notice moved by Councillor Ana Bailão (Carried)

That Councillor Ana Bailão be permitted to add to the agenda of today's meeting an urgent Motion without Notice concerning:

 

Analysis of Options Concerning Odours Emanating from Manufacturing Facilities

 

Reason for Urgency:

 

This Motion is urgent because with the change in weather, many residents have reported an increase in odours emanating from Nitta Gelatin's plant, preventing residents' ability to enjoy the use of their property. The next City Council meeting is scheduled to take place on October 5, 2016 and therefore it is crucial to provide direction to staff in order to facilitate reporting back to the Licensing and Standards Committee.
