TABLED
Directions to Staff
1. That the City Manager undertake to get a guarantee from
Major League Soccer (MLS) that the field the City of Ottawa is about to build
at Lansdowne will meet MLS league requirements.
2. That the City Treasurer provide regular updates to members
of Council with respect to changing interest rates and how these impact on the
financials relative to the Lansdowne Partnership Plan and Implementation.
3. Whereas the following quote appeared in the May 30, 2010 issue of the Ottawa Citizen: “The way Greenberg tells it, OSEG learned that its modest plan to lease Frank Clair Stadium from the City was a non-starter after meeting with Mayor Larry O’Brien and City Manager Kent Kirkpatrick in the fall of 2007. “Their comeback to us was “Guys, listen, we’re not going to spend upwards of $100M in taxpayers’ money to fix up the stadium so you can play 10 games of football a year” Greenberg recounts. If the businessmen wanted to propose something more comprehensive, O’Brien and Kirkpatrick told them, the City would listen.”
That the City Manager please explain why, in private
discussions with the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG), the proposal
to bring back CFL football to the City was not enough to justify spending $100M
in taxpayers’ money yet publicly, the principle reason that was given to
Council for the suspension of the Lansdowne redevelopment design competition
was to consider a proposal that promised the return of the CFL to Ottawa.
4. Whereas the original design competition for the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park was suspended in order for Council to consider an unsolicited proposal from the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG);
And Whereas
the following quote appeared in the Ottawa Citizen on May 30, 2010: “The
way Greenberg tells it, OSEG learned that its modest plan to lease Frank Clair
Stadium from the City was a non-starter after meeting with Mayor Larry O’Brien
and City Manager Kent Kirkpatrick in the fall of 2007. “Their comeback to us was “Guys, listen,
we’re not going to spend upwards of $100M in taxpayers’ money to fix up the
stadium so you can play 10 games of football a year” Greenberg recounts. If the businessmen wanted to propose something
more comprehensive, O’Brien and Kirkpatrick told them, the City would listen.”;
And Whereas this quote suggests the current proposal from the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group for the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park was in fact solicited by the City;
That the City Solicitor please provide Council with the legal implications of a competitive process being suspended by staff in order to entertain a solicited proposal suggested by the City outside of the Council process; and
That a response to this inquiry be provided by June 16, 2010 in order to be discussed during the question period taking place on June 17, 2010.
5. That staff outline what is the cost to maintain the wooden
structure of the stadium and what is the lifetime of the wooden structures,
before repairs or replacement. (Architect to respond on June 17, 2010)
6. That staff provide, for the June 17, 2010 meeting, a simplified breakdown of what money is going into the public spaces associated with the proposed Lansdowne project and what money is going into the commercial spaces associated with the proposed Lansdowne project; and

WHEREAS the Canadian economic
downturn is putting the retirement security of many workers at risk; and
WHEREAS Canadian cities are
directly impacted by this downturn, as they are key front line providers of
social services and support programs for older workers and retirees and Ontario cities bear an even more
disproportionate portion of the cost of providing such programs; and
WHEREAS the economic downturn
in combination with an increased number of employer bankruptcies across various
sectors have resulted in underfunded pension plans and the actual and potential
loss of promised pension benefits; and
WHEREAS only one in four
private sector workers belong to an employer pension plan and the remaining
three out of four workers must rely more heavily on personal savings to provide
for their retirement; and
WHEREAS the Canadian public
pension system including Old Age Security (OAS) and the Guaranteed Income
Supplement (GIS) plus the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) is safe but falls well
short of replacing the 50% to 70% of pre-retirement income needed to maintain a
decent standard of living; and
WHEREAS the Federation of
Canadian Municipalities (FCM), at its recent Annual General Meeting, passed a
resolution that supports the expansion of Canada's public pension system by and

Pumping Station expansion to 1225 litres per second could proceed as a Schedule
A+ work; and
WHEREAS it is important to the residents of Kanata South that
this amount of capacity be available at the earliest possible opportunity;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED That
the Rules of Procedure be suspended to consider the following:
CARRIED
WHEREAS in July 2009, the City’s west end experienced a major rainfall
event; and
WHEREAS excessive amounts of storm water entered the sanitary sewer
system causing the Hazeldean Pumping Station to exceed its rated capacity and
contributing to sewer backups; and
WHEREAS the City is actively investigating solutions to reduce the risk
of sewer backups by limiting the inflow of storm water into the sanitary sewer
system; and
WHEREAS the Hazeldean Pumping Station was built to accommodate an
increase in pumping capacity and in the interim an increase to the pumping
capacity at the station will assist to mitigate the impacts of a recurrence of
the July 2009 event; and
WHEREAS the City has been
advised by the Ministry of Environment that it has no concerns with the City
proceeding with the upgrade to the Hazeldean Pump Station (HPS) as a Schedule
A+ project;
WHEREAS the City wishes to deliver the capacity improvements to the
Hazeldean Pump Station as expeditiously as possible provide an added level of
protection to the existing community; and
WHEREAS Council has approved funding to design and upgrade the
Hazeldean Pump Station; and
WHEREAS the design involves an extra mechanical pump in an
existing pump station to design parameters which are provided by the City;
and
WHEREAS, unlike work to determine what infrastructure is needed to
support development proposals or what level of development can be supported by
existing infrastructure, there is very little an existing or previous developer
relationship could do to impact the design and sizing of a pump; and
WHEREAS Stantec Consulting Ltd., has the necessary resources and
expertise to complete the necessary design of the Hazeldean Pumping Station to
provide additional protection to the public in a timely manner, but represents
developers in the City’s west end; and
WHEREAS the City’s Purchasing By-law does not allow for consultants who
work for developers to also work on related City projects; and
WHEREAS finding a local qualified consulting firm with the appropriate
expertise that does not represent any development interests may not be
possible, and as such, it may take months to find a qualified consultant from
outside of the Ottawa area, thereby delaying the City’s ability to deliver the
capacity improvements to enhanced protection to the existing community; and
WHEREAS Council has made exceptions in similar circumstances;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT
City Council permit the Deputy City Manager, Infrastructure Services and Community
Sustainability to hire Stantec Consulting Ltd. to undertake the design of the
upgrades to the Hazeldean Pump Station as expeditiously as possible.
