It was determined that a questions regarding the vending by law should be added with a link to the proposed by law so members could read through that. A discussion was also had about possible issues with the bylaw, including the fee structure and the vendor map, as well as the overall number of permits that may be issued.

Survey question to be added and survey sent out before week’s end.

Agenda Item: Blockhouse Hill RFP Discussion                                              Presenter: Jamie Myra

Discussion: The council discussed at length what the LBOT’s official position would be on the topic of the sale of Blockhouse Hill. We need to represent our membership’s interests, which is why the survey is so important to ensure that our official statements are led by that feedback. Questions arose surrounding if the LBOT should sponsor a public information session, similarly to the one held during the Bike Lane discussions. The marketing levy was touched upon as a potential issue, but it was determined this would be dealt with later.

Conclusions: A public statement further to what has already been said in media interviews should wait until after our survey has gone out.
