Background Information (City Council)
Motions (City Council)
That Councillor Amber Morley be permitted to add to the agenda of today's meeting an urgent Motion without Notice concerning:
The Night’s Watch - Ensuring Appropriate Oversight and Review of City-Wide Zoning By-Law Changes for Nightclub Permissions
Reason for Urgency:
This Motion is urgent because it is related to an item currently being reviewed by Council, EY18.8. This motion cannot be moved on that item because the City Clerk has informed us that a specific proposition may not be amended by a proposition more general in scope. The EY and SC items are specific. The proposed amendment is general.
Additionally, this item is related to city-wide zoning by-law changes which take effect January 1, 2025, before the next session of City Council.
