Motions (City Council)
That Councillor Glenn De Baeremaeker be permitted to add to the agenda of today's meeting an urgent Motion without Notice concerning:
Repairs at 705 Progress Avenue, Unit 63 to ensure AODA Compliance, Fire and Building Code Regulations and Additional Interior Work
Reason for Urgency:
This Motion is urgent as construction crews are on site undertaking repairs and additional contractors cannot finish interior improvements until additional funding is secured. All repair work has to be completed before South Asian Autism Awareness Centre can move into the building in July 2018.
