City Council Wrap

It’s shaping up to be a busy night at City Hall.

For the second time in four months, council will review a report that investigates outsourcing inside caretakers. The original plan to look at outsourcing 100 jobs, was rejected Nov. 9. Tonight’s decision will be on whether to approach the private sector for information.

Also tonight, patio fees will be debated. The fees, originally promised to be suspended until 2018, were reintroduced in this year’s budget. Council will decide whether to suspend them again.

Lastly, City council will be hearing from concerned residents about dogs being off leash after a request was made by Councillor Chris Holt last August to review the issue.
