8. | Motions |
| 8.1 | Water Credit for Seniors Who Are Tenants Councillor Garcia will present the following motion: WHEREAS at the March 18, 2019 Council meeting, a staff report provided an update on the opportunity to extend the water bill Low-Income Senior Credit Program to qualified tenants but this update was only received for information purposes and; WHEREAS the report identified that, on average, 211 seniors who own their homes file for the $100 credit annually for a total cost of approximately $21,100 per year and; WHEREAS staff does not have an accurate count of how many tenants who pay their water bills are also seniors but, they know that only 5,000 to 8,000 of the total 44,000 water bills go to tenants so the number of senior tenants is expected to be significantly smaller than the number of comparable owners and, therefore, the annual cost of extending the credit to tenants will be relatively minor; THEREFORE, be it resolved, that Council approve extending the credit to tenants who are seniors and pay their water bills and meet appropriate qualifications.
