Councillor Gaffan declared an interest in respect to Agenda Item G-4 (Schwarzkopf Investments Corp (O/A Wineology) 19 Main Street East-Request to install and operate a Sidewalk Café) for the reason that the property is a neighbouring business to Councillor Gaffan's place of business.

Mr. Mulcaster presented the concerns of some residents which have arisen since the date of the implementation of the amendment to the traffic by-law to permit parking only on the North side of Hillview Crescent. He stated that vehicles are parked on the north side blocking the sidewalk access, and some vehicles are parked all night long. He stated that the impact to the residents was immediate, and since the date of the implementation of the amendment, there is no opening at the front of the apartment building for vehicles to turn in and it is difficult for residents using walkers to move around the parked vehicles.

Ms. Winger outlined her concerns respecting the Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. Water and Wastewater Rate Study presented to Council on March 25, 2019, and the budget amounts relative to Kingsville/Lakeshore West Sewage and Cottam Sewage, as set out in her correspondence dated April 17, 2019.

Director of Financial Services Ryan McLeod was in attendance, and explained that the 2018 figures Ms. Winger referred to were the year-to-date 2018 results when the 2019 draft budget was published in the fall of 2018 and did not reflect a complete year. He explained that the difference between the residential sewage charges calculated by Ms. Winger and the revenue projected in the Watson & Associates' rate study and included in the 2019 budget were attributed to non-residential sewage charges, which are based on volumes rather than fixed rates.   He also noted the revenue projections in the rate study was based off 2017 data as the study commenced in the fall of 2018. Mr. McLeod affirmed that any difference between actual results and projections would be retained within the respective water or wastewater system.
