Motions (City Council)
That Councillor Fletcher be permitted to add to the agenda of today's meeting an urgent Motion without Notice concerning:
1012-1018 Gerrard Street East - Temporary Use By-law - Final Report
Reason for Urgency:
This Motion is urgent as the next opportunity for approval would be September 30, 2020 which would both delay the opportunity to begin to recover from the impacts of the pandemic closure and result in the loss of two full months of business during the prime warm weather patio season.
