Motions (City Council)
That Councillor Brad Bradford be permitted to add to the agenda of today's meeting an urgent Motion without Notice concerning:
Getting the Band Back Together: A Pathway Forward for Musical Performance on Patios
Reason for Urgency:
This Motion is urgent because staff need authority and preparation is required in response to the Province of Ontario's accelerated timeline for transition into Stage One reopening beginning June 11, 2021.
That City Council amend Recommendation 1 by inserting the words "Ward 14" so that it now reads as follows:
1. City Council authorize the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards, in consultation with any relevant divisions, to develop and implement a scoped pilot for amplified live performances by musicians on patios in the public right of way located within Ward 14, Ward 19 and Ward 9 for implementation in summer 2021, as public health measures permit.
Councillor Fletcher, on a Point of Order, asked whether the recommendations in the Motion were City-wide or for just two Wards.
