COUNCIL of the CITY of WINNIPEG Wednesday, February 24, 2010 COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WINNIPEG Wednesday, February 24, 2010 The Council met at 9:35 a.m. The Clerk advised the Speaker that a quorum was present. The Speaker called the meeting to order. The opening prayer was read by Councillor Swandel. ROLL CALL Clerk: Mr. Speaker, Councillor Lazarenko, His Worship Mayor Katz; Councillors Browaty, Clement, Fielding, Gerbasi, Nordman, Orlikow, Pagtakhan, Smith, Swandel, Thomas, Vandal, Wyatt. INTRODUCTION AND WELCOME OF GUESTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Speaker: Thank you. We have Pages. Nick Bruneau of Garden City Collegiate, resides in the Mynarski Ward. Welcome. Marianne Cerilli; an instructor with Red River Community College together with her students from the Red River College in the Economic Development Program. Are you there Marianne? They're not here yet? Thank you. Mr. Mayor. Mayor Katz: Mr. Speaker, I thank you. Just a brief comment. First of all, congratulating all of our Canadian Athletes performing in the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Whistler, etc. Specifically, obviously the ones from Manitoba. A big congratulations to Jon Montgomery who won gold medal from Russell, Manitoba, as well as the Athletes from the balance of Manitoba and Winnipeg who continue to strive to do their best to represent our Country and make us proud, and I think it's been exciting for all Canadians who have had the opportunity to participate in the impromptu singing of “Oh Canada” during certain events, again, a phenomenal job. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Councillor Pagtakhan, just a minute. MINUTES Councillor Nordman moves that the Minutes of the meeting held on January 27, 2010, be taken as read and confirmed. All in favour? Contrary? Carried. DELEGATIONS Mr. Speaker: Councillor Pagtakhan. Councillor Pagtakhan: Mr. Speaker, I would like to move suspension of the rules, relative to the delegations, with respect to February 17th EPC Report of Item number 5 to allow five further delegations on either side of the issue, please. Mr. Speaker: Councillor Vandal? Councillor Vandal: I want to put on public record that I have a long list of 16 people who would like to speak in opposition to Item 5 of Executive Committee, and of February 17th, so I’m not sure how you're going to manage this, to pull those five Speakers out of a list of 17. I wait for your guidance, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker: Thank you, Councillor. I've dealt with it just a while ago and we have a number of delegations that are here registered to speak today, and I would suggest to Councillor Vandal and Councillor Pagtakhan, pick five, pick five, because I’m sure they will be repetitive. Pick five to each side and giving five minutes with no questions. Councillor Clement first. Councillor Clement: Councillor Lazarenko, I’ve got no problem with that, but, usually when we enhance the list like that there is no questions, it's just they come and they make their presentation, and then we move on because otherwise we’re going to be here all day listening and we’ve got a lot of things on this agenda besides that issue. Mr. Speaker: Councillor Gerbasi. 2 COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WINNIPEG February 24, 2010 Councillor Gerbasi: Mr. Speaker, we have, I don't know how many speakers, which side of the issue Councillor Pagtakhan's speakers are on. He just said five, but we have 16 people that want to speak and I would like this Council to allow those 16 people to speak. Is it really that terrible to sit for a whole day and hear an issue as important as this, Mr. Speaker? I really…I think that’s what we should be doing. (applause). Mr. Speaker: Councillor Thomas. Councillor Thomas: (inaudlble) we've had people who have been very interested in an item and have shown up to speak. We’ve allowed all delegations that have come forward to speak and not, and not made it choose 5 or 6 or whatever, and so I would suggest, Mr. Speaker, that if we allowed all the additional delegations to speak that that would be more appropriate, thank you. Mr. Speaker: Councillor Vandal. Councillor Vandal: I’m not sure if Councillor Pagtakhan has a motion on the floor. Mr. Speaker: Yes. Councillor Pagtakhan: …for five on each side of the issue Mr. Speaker. Councillor Vandal: Okay, Mr. Speaker, I’m…I think, given the rapid nature of this issue, how it's come forward, I think people want to say something and I think if we give them five minutes each to say something, we'll be the richer for it. I would like to amend the Motion to Councillor Pagtakhan's and say that… Mr. Speaker: He withdrew the motion. Councillor Vandal: Pardon me? Mr. Speaker: He withdrew it. Councillor Vandal: He withdrew the motion? Mr. Speaker: Yes. Councillor Vandal: So I’ll move that everyone who wants to speak to this issue be given a reasonable amount of time to state their point of view. Mr. Speaker: Councillor Swandel. Councillor Swandel: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just perhaps in the interest of moving things along, I think it's important to remind the folks that are here to speak that if their arguments that they wish to make have already been heard, that the number of people who make the argument doesn't really impact on us, it's the merit of the argument that we need to hear, so if they've already heard their argument being made they don't necessarily have to speak if they so choose. Mr. Speaker: Then that will be up to them. Council, that was your motion, Councillor Swandel, I mean Councillor Vandal? That’s your motion? Councillors you’ve heard the Motion to hear all delegations regardless of how long it will take to hear all delegations. But I’m saying, at five minutes each and that's what we have in the past, five minutes with no questions. All in favour? Contrary? It's carried. First delegation. Just a minute, hold it, hold it. Councillor Swandel: Mr. Speaker, If we go through this every time we have a sensitive issue, I think it’s important to remind the gallery that outbursts of applause or hollering from the gallery is not tolerated in the Chamber and if need be we'll just move everybody outside and have them come in on an individual basis to speak. Mr. Speaker: Councillor Swandel it’s corrected. I just looked at them, I looked at that side, they all agree with me. First delegation. John Courtney, Executive Director of Youth for Christ in support of Item 5 of the Report of Executive Policy Committee of February 17th, 2010. Mr. Courtney, you have 10 minutes. John Courtney: I'm John Courtney, Executive Director of youth of Christ, YFC, representing the proposed new project; the Centre for youth Excellence. YFC has been operating programs for youth in the City for over 60 years. I’ve had the privilege of being the Executive Director for the past 33 years and have seen the program grow from a staff of four to COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WINNIPEG 3 February 24, 2010 over 70, now serving 4,403 teenagers annually in 15 unique programs including an indoor skateboard park, a well equipped fitness gym, a year-round camping program, 6 community drop-in centres, professional youth and family counseling centre, an inner-City employment training centre, teen moms, indoor rock climbing facility, a modern dance studio, a variety of sports leagues including floor hockey, volleyball, basketball, football and soccer, and providing adult mentor coaches. We are one of the largest of YFC programs in North America. In my 33 years I don't believe that we've ever stood before Council asking for operational money to do what we do yet most of our programs are offered with no fee or with a heavily subsidized fee structure making it accessible to all youth. It's not because we're rich--far from it. It’s because Winnipeggers and Manitobans are incredibly generous people who care about youth. It's their strong support that enables us to sustain our on-going programs. Our operations are not dependent on or funded by government money. The support we're asking for today is not for operations but rather towards the capital project of building the centre. It is infrastructure and job creation funding to match Federal stimulus money with a 12 month time frame. YFC needs to put in over $4 million for this project from private donations plus we need to cover all of the operational costs, and that's a huge challenge and commitment for us. We've been working for years on this dream to increase our capacity to serve more youth. We have embraced an aggressive plan that would have us increase our service to teenagers from 4,403 to 10,000 annually by the year 2015. The Centre for youth Excellence is a centre piece of the plan. While it will take far more than just a building, we believe this new centre will play a significant role in moving us towards the achievement of our plan. Let me clarify who we serve. It's all youth. Regardless of economic, social, race or gender. We've never approached our work in a segregated fashion. All of our programs are open to all youth regardless of race, social status or creed. At present, we have no gyms of our own. The Centre for youth Excellence Facility includes two full gyms providing significant opportunities for additional floor hockey, basketball, volleyball, soccer and other indoor activities, doubling our capacity for skateboarding and dance.
