Background Information (City Council)
Motions (City Council)
That Councillor Alejandra Bravo be permitted to add to the agenda of today's meeting an urgent Motion without Notice concerning:
Multi-Tenant Housing Framework: Parks Levy Exemption and Framework Application
Reason for Urgency:
This motion is urgent as currently a number of multi-tenant housing providers are limited from moving forward in the City’s new Framework without these technical amendments, and refugee houses looking to expand immediately need clarity about their classification under the Framework.
That in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 27, Council Procedures, City Council reconsider Item MM20.30.
