From the Mayor’s Chair – January 24

Check out the latest version of From the Mayor’s Chair, where I break down the decisions of Council in 3 minutes or less.

Highlights from the January 24 Council meeting include discussion on a proposed  interim control by-law calling for a freeze on most development in the neighbourhoods around Queen’s and SLC. The discussion resulted in Council passing a motion asking staff to explore other options, there will be a public meeting in March and a staff report back to Council with recommendations on next steps. Council unanimously voted to hold a by-election to fill the vacant Countryside District council seat, the by-election will be held May 15, 2017. And Council approved a new partnership between Queen’s University and the City of Kingston to promote more innovation, entrepreneurship and economic development.
