Motions (City Council)
That Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie be permitted to add to the agenda of today's meeting an urgent Motion without Notice concerning:
Authority to Amend the 2023-2032 Council Approved Capital Budget and Plan for Parks, Forestry and Recreation for the Colonel Danforth Park Off Leash Area Expansion project.
Reason for Urgency:
This Motion is urgent as the bidding for this project has closed and Parks, Forestry and Recreation staff are looking to award the lowest bid as soon as possible. If is was pushed later into the summer, prices will not be the same. In addition, this is also to adhere by the construction timeline to complete the project by Fall 2023.
