budget and more on fall agenda

The Olympics are over, the back to school sales have begun and city councillors are dusting off their desks after a sleepy summer at Ottawa City Hall.

Postmedia Matthew Pearson scopes out what on the agenda.

The budget is arguably the most important item city council will deal with this fall because it will set the tone for 2017. It won be tabled until November, but work is already underway.

The unemployment rate in July improved slightly from a year earlier, but Watson says he concerned about the fragility of the economy and what that means for jobs and job creation, and what we have to continue to do to create the environment that people want to continue to invest in our city.

To that end, the new Innovation Centre at Bayview Yards will welcome its first tenants by the end of the year, he said.

Several more Ottawa 2017 announcements will come this fall, completing the full calendar of events organized by the city to mark Canada 150th birthday next year.

Watson is also focused on securing federal funding for the second phase of light rail transit.

The government this week announced $45 million for pre engineering studies,rolex daytona for sale imitation, but Watson said he hopes a complete funding agreement representing one third of the cost of the $3 billion project will be announced by the end of 2016.

Transit commission, chaired by Stephen Blais

Commissioners will hear more about OC Tranpo plan to incorporate the Confederation LRT line into the city transit operations, including details about when the public might start to see some of the changes roll out.

The closed circuit television (CCTV) camera policy for buses, trains and transit stations will be up for discussion and voting, likely in October.

is the total review and updating of the policy, which is good timing because we building the Confederation line, Blais said.

Negotiations with Metrolinx will also continue as the city tries to hammer out a new Presto contract,rolex daytona gold imitation, which expires in October.

Transportation committee, chaired by Keith Egli

The juiciest item on the committee plate is the discussion of a possible $2 billion truck tunnel connecting Highway 417 with the Macdonald Cartier Bridge.

A staff report with recommendations is to be released 10 days in advance of the Sept. 7 meeting, instead of the usual seven days, to give the public time to digest.

If the committee and, ultimately, council approves the report,fake rolex oyster perpetual submariner date, the next step would be to ask the federal and provincial governments to each chip in one third to cover the cost of the environmental assessment, estimated at roughly $7 million.

The committee will also discuss a new rapid transit corridor along Baseline Road, get an update on the cycling and pedestrian plan, look at functional designs for road reconstructions of Elgin and Bank streets, and proceed with the early stages of an environmental assessment for light rail to Kanata.

something people have been wanting to happen for some time, Egli said.

Community and protective services committee, chaired by Diane Deans

Approving a new bylaw to ban the use of herbal water pipes, such as hookah pipes,rolex submariner for women fake, in the same places where tobacco is outlawed was the committee first order of business when it met Thursday.

The full ban goes into effect April 3, 2017.

The community and protective services committee may try to revisit a decision made by Ottawa police earlier this year to download late night noise complaints to the bylaw department. The committee will also receive the paramedic service review, which is key because a report last year signalled an issue with response times. The city hired 12 new FTEs and added two quick response vehicles to the fleet.

not expecting the trend to have changed, said Deans, adding she hopes the review comes prior to the budget in case it demonstrates a clear need for more paramedics.

The committee will also learn how the community and social services department plans to spend $15 million in federal funds over two years for social housing.
