8.1

City of Kingston Community Safety Pilot Project

At the meeting of September 10, 2018, Councillor Siscoe provided notice that he would present the following motion at the meeting of September 24, 2018:

 

WHEREAS the City of Kingston has developed a pilot project to work on enhancing safety in their community with respect to public drunkenness and rowdiness; and

 

WHEREAS this program involves publicly naming individuals in violation of Kingston’s Nuisance By-law; and

 

WHEREAS the program is supported by Queen’s University and can also lead to discipline by the school if students are found to be in violation of the City’s Nuisance By-law; and

 

WHEREAS the City of St. Catharines has struggled to curb some of the more ‘excessive’ elements of partying occurring in residential neighbourhoods on city streets;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Council direct staff to investigate the Kingston pilot project, as reported in the St. Catharines Standard on September 7, 2018; and

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that staff present a program to Council in advance of St. Patrick’s Day for implementation of a program that achieves similar ends as Kingston's program; and

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that staff immediately engage with Brock University and Niagara College and their student unions to obtain their support of the program, similarly to the support offered by Queen’s University in Kingston.

Report on Operating Out of the Cold at a City Facility

At the meeting of September 10, 2018, Councillor Britton provided notice that he would present the following motion at the meeting of September 24, 2018:

 

WHEREAS the community Out of the Cold program is at risk of closing, leaving many of our community's most vulnerable at risk this 2018-2019 winter season; and

 

WHEREAS on June 11, 2018, Council agreed to suspend requests for reports following the June 25, 2018 Council meeting, save and except for emergency situations to be discussed with the Chief Administrative Officer; and

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that City Council reconsider the June 11, 2018 resolution suspending requests for reports on a one-time basis; and

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that City Council direct staff to prepare a report for the next meeting of Council outlining opportunities to offer space at City Facilities (including, but not limited to, Rex Stimers Arena) to the Out of the Cold program on a temporary basis if they cannot find a permanent home for this winter season.
