GUELPH POLITICAST #420 – The Year at Council So Far
Manage episode 419568191 series 2363333
Time flies when you're having fun in the council chambers, which brings us to the first recap podcast of the year. We started off slow with one meeting in January, and then things go really busy in February and March, including one meeting that was really two meetings, but all together they were 12 hours long. Remember what that one was about? Remember what any of them were about?
So there was one meeting in January and it cued up a meeting in February, the one about the Public Spaces Uses Bylaw. If there was an award for the most contentious/controversial meeting of the year, this will likely still be the winner when we get to the end of the year. That ties into the overarching theme of the first third of this year, which is housing. There was the payment in-lieu plan for downtown parking, fourplexes, and a new development charges bylaw.
If you're forgotten any of these developments than this is the podcast for you. We will go through all the meetings from January to April and cover the highlights from each meeting. And yes, there was a lot of development and planning stuff to chew on, but there was also some heritage protection, infrastructure renewal, tree protection on private property, and, for the procedural nerds out there, an honest to goodness investigation by the integrity commissioner.
So let's recap the first few months of 2024 in council business on this week's Guelph Politicast!
