    Whereas Council has previously approved pilot projects to test different meeting dates and times; and

    Whereas in the Spring 2019, Committee of the Whole and Council meetings were held on alternating Tuesday’s beginning at 1:00 p.m.; and

    Whereas in the Fall 2019 Committee of the Whole meetings were held on the 1st Wednesday of each month beginning at 9:30 a.m., and Council meetings were held on the 3rd Wednesday of each month beginning at 9:30 a.m.; and

    Whereas having meetings on Wednesday starting at 9:30 a.m. has worked well, but more than one Council meeting is needed in most months; and

    Whereas it would be beneficial to establish the regular meeting times for the remainder of the Term of Council.

    Therefore be it resolved that the Procedure By-law 74-12 as amended, be amended with the following changes:

    1. Committee of Whole meetings will normally be scheduled for the first and third Wednesday of each month beginning at 9:30 a.m.

    2. Council meetings will normally be scheduled for the second and fourth Wednesday of each month beginning at 9:30 a.m.

    Whereas the Richmond Hill Canoe Club was founded in 1991 and offers competitive and recreational paddling programs promoting fun and fitness for all ages

    Whereas the club strives to provide opportunities for all paddlers and shares their love for sport with the community through their various programs

    Whereas thousands of individuals, including residents, athletes and their families, utilize the facility regularly

    Whereas many of these athletes have been very successful and represented Canada internationally

    Whereas current facilities are inadequate as there is limited accessibility, no space for winter training, no running water or lockers, insufficient boat storage, and insufficient space at the club

    Whereas other canoe clubs in Ontario, such as the Mississauga Canoe Club and the Burloak Canoe Club are fully accessible and have sufficient storage, space, lockers and functioning amenities

    Whereas reconstructing and revitalizing the Richmond Hill Canoe Club would be beneficial to residents and athletes visiting and residing in Richmond Hill

    Whereas sufficient funding is needed to ensure proper reconstruction

    Therefore be it resolved that staff be directed to investigate opportunities to rebuild and expand the Canoe Club to include:

    1. Training facilities for the club;

    2. Opportunities for public private partnership for capital and ongoing operating costs for the property;

    3. No added tax burden for Richmond Hill residents.

    Therefore be it resolved that Staff be directed to report back to Council before the end of Q2 2020.
