BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council mandates the staff to review Section 6 of By-Law 2000-43, which prohibits wrongful use of water, in order to consider allowing watering between 7:00 am to 9:00 am and 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council mandates the Administration to review By-law 2014-126, which refers to expenses for meals of members of council and employees of the City of Clarence-Rockland, in order to establish specific reimbursement criteria for business meals.

WHEREAS the City of Clarence Rockland is the owner of the Clarence-Rockland Arena; and

WHEREAS the Rockland Nationals Junior A team had requested the City, in a letter dated January 19, 2018, to pay 1/3 of the cost for the purchase of a hood fan for the deep fryer; and

WHEREAS Council rejected their requests during the 2019 Budget deliberations; and

WHEREAS the said hood fan has been installed at the Clarence-Rockland Arena and therefore will remain the property of the City of Clarence-Rockland beyond the departure of the Rockland Nationals Junior A;

BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council hereby accepts to reconsider its decision and hereby approves the reimbursement of 1/3 of the full costs of the purchase and installation of the hood fan, being an amount of $13,334.00 to the Rockland Nationals Junior A Hockey Club.

WHEREAS the Rockland Family Chiropractic and Wellness centre used to be located in the plaza at 2768 Laurier; and

WHEREAS prior to moving to 1055 Laurier Street, the owners were lead to believe that they would qualify for funding under the Community Improvement Plan (CIP) Incentive Program at this new address; and

WHEREAS their application was rejected due to the fact that their new installations are not within the qualifying core area; and

WHEREAS Council may extend, revise, or alter this CIP subject to funding, the objectives of Council, and the performance of the CIP through a formal amendment process;

BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council hereby mandates the administration to prepare a formal amendment to the Community Improvement Plan in order to expand the geography to which the financial programs outlined in the CIP apply and to change the criteria to which area wide CIPs apply where necessary, in an effort to approve the application submitted by the Rockland Family Chiropractic and Wellness Centre.
