  • Whereas Richmond Hill has a full time Council; and

    Whereas the current schedule for Council Meetings and Committee of the Whole was established to accommodate part time councilors; and

    Whereas neighbouring municipalities with full time Councils have Council and Committee of the Whole Meetings during the day; and

    Whereas having staff on-site during Council and Committee of the Whole Meetings offers advantages for commissioners and councillors; and

    Whereas having a business day following the weekend and prior to the meeting is advantageous for staff and Council;

    Therefore be it resolved that Richmond Hill Council and Committee of the Whole meetings will take place every other Tuesday at 1:00 p.m. beginning on September 2, 2019;

    Be it further resolved that the procedure by-law be amended as to the time and date for Council and Committee of the Whole meetings, and as to the time and date for delegate registration and correspondence submission to 2:00 p.m. on the day prior to a meeting.

  • Whereas the Yonge/Carrville KDA at Carrville Road, and Yonge Street is one of the two Key Development Area’s (KDA) in the City of Richmond Hill and is the most important area next to the Yonge and Highway 7 Richmond Hill Centre for planning and development currently; and

    Whereas, the City of Richmond Hill 2010 Official Plan provides for the densest areas in Key Development Area’s next to the Regional Centre; and

    Whereas, the Regional policy for entrances for local roads intersecting with Yonge street require a minimum 250 meter separation between regional intersections;

    Therefore, be it resolved that Council reconsider its decision of February 11, 2019 in respect to SRPRS.19.041 - Request for Direction - Revised Development Proposal - Goldenville Development Inc., and remove the requirement for the additional east/west road connection to Yonge Street Between Carville Road and Spruce Avenue within the Southwest Quadrant of the KDA.

Moved by: Regional and Local Councillor DiPaola

  • Whereas the Library Board is made up of volunteers; and

    Whereas it can sometimes be a challenge to achieve quorum with a smaller Board; and

    Whereas enlarging the Board would relieve pressure on the existing members;

    Therefore be it resolved that Council change the composition of the Library Board by adding an additional 5 citizen members.

    Be it further resolved that the City Clerk be directed to advertise to fill the additional 5 citizen members of the Library Board for a period of 2 weeks.

    Be it further resolved that a Special Council Meeting be called to consider the applications and make appointments to fill the vacancies as soon as possible once the application period is closed.
