General Committee of Council was requested to approve a plan to sell used street name signs to raise funds for the Westmount Recreation Centre (WRC).
The Director General explained that, following the plan to replace the embossed street name signs with ones made of reflective material, the old signs were kept with the intent to eventually sell them off as souvenirs of Westmount. The administration entertained the idea of selling the old signs as part of fundraising activities at the price of $200 ($1 for the sign and $199 as a tax-deductible contribution to the WRC).
All agreed to move forward with the recommendation of the Director General.
BILL 82 – CULTURAL HERITAGE ACT
General Committee was requested to move towards putting in place a legal framework to protect our Westmount heritage.
The Director General brought up the objective of this legislation that gives powers to municipalities in the areas of heritage protection and requirements. As part of the discussion to have the proper representation on the Planning Advisory Committee, there is an urgency to appoint additional expertise and move forward to protect the Glen area considering the encroachment of the MUHC. The City might create a Heritage Committee or appoint new staff on PAC. This information is provided for General Committee’s overall thinking.
Mayor Trent explained the purpose of the Act that gives the municipality the power to act and help protect heritage landscape. In his opinion, PAC would be the right authority and he recommended to go ahead with the recommendation to give PAC this extra mandate.

GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL JANUARY 13, 2014

COUNCIL ATTENDANCE AT CONFERENCES
General Committee of Council was requested to decide on Council representation at the 2014 annual conferences of the Union des Municipalités du Québec and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
The Director General provided the guidelines on Council representation at conferences. Traditionally, Council is asked to decide which conference they would like to attend in order to submit a resolution at the February Council sitting to approve the expenses for travelling, registration and lodgings.
Councillor Lulham to go to the FCM (Sustainability workshop) in Charlottetown in February Councillor Drury to go to l’UMQ’s Assises annuelles in Gatineau in May.
The Director General asked to be advised of any additional request, since all expenses must be approved by Council, except for the Mayor who do not need such approval by the nature of his office.
POSTE DE QUARTIER #12
Mayor Trent was informed in late December about a pilot project in some police stations on the Island of Montreal, including Westmount’s Poste de Quartier that will affect the night patrol between 1:15 am and 6 am. The proposed change would affect the Westmount territory that would be covered by 2 patrol cars from Poste de quartier No. 15 while no police officers would be posted at station No. 12 in Westmount. The trial will be implemented for an underdetermined period of time that could become permanent without Westmount’s approval. The subject needs to be discussed by the Association of Suburban Mayors in order to put pressure on the Agglomeration Council should the result be negative for our community. The reason for the change comes from the fact that criminality is at a higher level outside of Westmount. Station 15 is located in the Saint-Paul sector (1625, ave de L’Église, Montreal). Additional details will be submitted to General Committee of Council in the future. Councillor Cutler added that there is a double cover from both stations between 11 and 1:15. The change of shifts will be affecting the schedule of poste de quartier No. 12 police officers.
STANDING ITEMS
MUHC visit on January 16: please contact Leslie at the Mayor’s office. All Council members should submit their financial election report to the Assistant Director of Finance. Clerk’s office is missing two employees for a month. MTQ: no news. DG will contact them.

ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE GARBAGE CONTRACT Director of Public Works
The Director General informed on how Public Works proposed to change the day of the weekly recycling collection. He explained that the Director of Public Works, Ms. Marianne Zalzal, and the Environment Coordinator, have been working on a way to reduce the number of collection days and optimize the tonnage picked up by truck. Since the City is preparing to go out to tender for the collection and transport of compost and garbage in February 2014, they are proposing 3 options for Council’s consideration. Before the renewal of the collection contracts, the administration usually looks at various options in order to get competitive prices instead of only one scenario. The Director General outlined that the contract only provides for the collection and transport of the residual material, as disposal and treatment is a responsibility of the Montreal Agglomeration. He pointed out that Wednesday is reserved for recycling throughout the entire City.
The following options were offered for consideration:
Option 1: Status Quo:
Monday: Western sector • Kitchen waste collection for residential (including small apartment buildings); • Garbage collection for apartment buildings of 9 units + and commercial institutions.
Tuesday: Eastern sector • Kitchen waste collection for residential (including small apartment buildings); • Garbage collection for apartment buildings of 9 units + and commercial institutions.
Thursday : Garbage collection for all the Western sector.
Friday : Garbage collection for all the Eastern sector.
P a g e 2
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL JANUARY 27, 2014
Option 2: Combining of collections.
This option would combine the eastern and western sections of the City into a single garbage collection, while the kitchen waste collection would be done on Wednesdays, the same days as the recycling collection. Friday would be reserved for garbage collection for apartment buildings of 9 units + and commercial institutions.
Option 3: Alternate schedule proposed by contractor
In order to increase the potential bidders, this option would allow the contractor to propose a price based on an alternative day of collection in accordance with his availability.
The Director General mentioned that the advantage of splitting the services is that in case you miss composting collection, you have another collection at your disposal. He asked for Council input.
Mayor Trent indicated that he is in favour of consolidating of the kitchen waste collection along with recycling. Since the residents must bring the recyclable containers to the street curb while the composting is collected at the back of the house, the combination would be less confusing and would allow the blue boxes to stay in the back. Would it add to the cost? He did not support Option 3 where the contractor could choose the collection day as the residents want to get used to a routine. It is important to figure out the lowest cost for a permanent change, including the blue box recycling collection from the back of houses.
Ms. Zalzal explained that the recycling contract had been awarded at curb side for 3 years. She will proceed with a survey to determine which percentage put their kitchen waste green bin in front of their house.
There was a consensus to explore option 1 and 2 only.
BUDGET MEETING
The Director General asked General Committee of Council for its comments and inputs before the adoption of the 2014 Budget and the 2014-2015-2016 Programme of Capital Expenditures.
PRIVATE MEMBER BILL
General Committee of Council was requested to approve the plan of action for submitting a private member’s bill to the National Assembly concerning the composition of its Planning Advisory Committee.
Councillor Samiotis reported that, as the Speaker of the House, MNA Jacques Chagnon cannot sponsor this Private Bill, but he agreed to find another MNA to present the Bill on his behalf.

GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL JANUARY 27, 2014
Mayor Trent mentioned that since 1906, Westmount has required that members of its Planning Advisory Committee (the former Architectural and Planning Commission) be architects. The provincial law imposing that such members be chosen from among the residents in the territory of the municipality has prompted Council to submit a Private Bill to allow the City to appoint architects from outside its territory. Mayor Trent proposed to present the Bill as soon as possible. The Director General suggested that a resolution be submitted for Council’s approval at the February 3, public meeting.
USE OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND PARKS
Mayor Trent proposed to have draft policies for the use of municipal buildings and parks. This item is deferred for discussion at the General Committee meeting to be held on February 17, 2014. Councillor Forbes confirmed that a meeting had been scheduled for January 29, to discuss this matter.
Mayor Trent mentioned a different approach, proposing that the administration handle the review and propose recommendations to be discussed and developed at the next mid-month meeting of February 17, 201 when the new Chairman will be introduced.
ADOPTION OF THE CODE OF ETHICS
The Director of Legal Services and City Clerk explained that, according to the Municipal Ethics and Good Conduct Act, a code of ethics and conduct of elected municipal officers is mandatory and must be re- adopted before March 1 following a general municipal election. A revised Code of ethics must replace the one in force, with or without amendment. M e Iturriaga Espinoza mentioned that, in order to adopt the Code of ethics at the March 3 Council sitting, General Committee of Council must review the current one and decide on its content.
Mayor Trent reported on his review of the revised Code of ethics and good conduct and proposed that Council adopt the same Code with amendments as recommended.
Me Iturriaga Espinoza recommended that a notice of motion of the By-law concerning the Code of Ethics and Good Conduct of elected municipal officers be given at the next siting of Council on February 3, 2014 in order to proceed with its adoption at the March 3 regular sitting. She informed Council members that Me Marc-André LeChasseur will be providing a training session on Municipal Ethics and Good Conduct at the February 17, 2014 General Committee. A notice of motion of the amended By-law will be submit at the February 3 Council sitting, followed by its adoption at the March 3, 2014 sitting.
Mayor Trent commented on the lobbying of public office holders. Me Iturriaga Espinoza reported on the Lobbyists Registrar.

REGULAR COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM S
The Director of Legal Services and City Clerk, Viviana Iturriaga Espinoza, mentioned that, following the Mayor’s request for indexation of the General Committee minutes, she would like to submit a Council Agenda nomenclature for ease-of-reference. For example, Public Works items would be 04.01 / Purchasing would be 05, and so forth. In her opinion, the presentation of the items would be more structured. She consulted with other municipalities and mentioned that half have a classified structure. She reported that her department is currently in the process of adopting a new classification with a database that will serve as a basis for Council Agenda items. Mayor Trent mentioned that, since the Council agenda is currently classified at random, it would be easier to track the regular items in this new fashion.
Me Iturriaga Espinoza will submit a proposal at the next meeting of General Committee of Council.
MARRIAGE AND CIVIL UNION OFFICIANTS
The Director of Legal Services and City Clerk informed General Committee of Council that there are currently 4 officiants appointed by the Minister of Justice. She invited all Councillors who have an interest to submit a request to her attention. She indicated that this type of license is specific to Council members and allows them to solemnize marriages on the territory of the City. All celebrations are held at City Hall.
The Chairman reported that a Council resolution is required to submit the request to the Minister of Justice. All pertinent documentation are provided by the Justice Ministry and all appointed officiants must follow a training session offered by l’Union des municipalités du Québec .
Councillor Forbes commented on the procedure.
Me Iturriaga Espinoza mentioned that, in the past, some couples have asked for a specific Councillor. The legal aspect is taken care by the City Clerk’s office. She reported on the number of weddings performed and mentioned that Councillor Forbes has officiated 65% of the weddings. She mentioned that marriages are celebrated for Westmount residents only.
RECORDING OF COUNCIL’S QUESTION PERIODS IN THE MINUTES
The Director of Legal Services and City Clerk, Me Viviana Iturriaga Espinoza, reported on a request from a resident regarding the transcription of the question period in the Council’s minutes. She reviewed the Cities and Towns Act that states that only a council of more than 20 councillors may ask that questions be provided in writing, and furthermore become part of the City’s records. She recommended that Council either continue to include the Question Periods in the minutes, or discontinue the practice.
Mayor Trent pointed out that Westmount does a lot of things not contemplated in the law. He suggested that the practice be continued. In his opinion, the best approach would be to encapsulate the essence of the question without the answer. He is aware that a few residents take it upon themselves to make it a personal mission to have their questions memorialized for posterity; however it is time-
P a g e 5
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL JANUARY 27, 2014
consuming for the City Clerk’s office. Instead of cancelling the practice altogether, citizens should be encouraged to submit their questions in writing given that some questions are too complex to be answered on the spot. He would encourage such practice.
Director General Campbell mentioned that most of the other municipalities submit the written questions under the Correspondence Item. This practice implies that questions be acknowledged publicly and that Council must respond to it.
It was agreed to continue the practice of encapsulating the questions as part of the Council minutes.
SALE FOR NON -PAYMENT OF TAXES
Me Nicole Dobbie, Assistant City Clerk, informed Council that the sale for non-payment of taxes scheduled for January 22, 2014 had been cancelled. She explained that there were only 13 outstanding accounts when the first notice was published on December 16, 2013 and only 7 outstanding accounts when the second notice was published on January 6, 2014. The week prior to the sale, there were only two immovables left on the list. The first being a locker located at 1 Wood Avenue and the second being an immovable located at 106-108 Lewis Avenue which owed under $100. The Director General noted that it would cost more to proceed with the sale which is why it was cancelled. He also mentioned that there are two other properties causing problems: the Tunisian Consulate and the new Chinese consulate on The Boulevard.
Me Iturriaga Espinoza, Director of Legal Services and City Clerk noted that they have not yet looked into the protocol for these properties. She indicated that the City should verify the names of the people to ensure that they are recognized under the Federal law. In addition, it is important to note that Quebec only recognizes one residency, not two for a consulate.
The Director General explained that for diplomatic reasons the City is unable to ask for taxes. He explained that the Tunisian consulate assets are currently frozen under Federal law and cannot be liquidated. The City has maintained electricity to the property which it may claim at a later date. The City cannot cut off power as it may result in a pipe bursting.
The meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m. and resumed at 9:00 p.m.
DOG ASSOCIATION UPDATE
Councillor Lulham reported on her meeting with Mr. Brian Baxter on behalf of the Westmount Dog Association that currently has 150 members. The main concern expressed by members is the absence of a dog run in the South-West sector of the City, close to the one that was closed due to the construction of the WRC. As the Commissioner for Parks, she would like to engage a dog expert to look at potential sites and submit recommendations to Council. She mentioned the three potential locations in Westmount Park: the concrete area, the site near the tennis courts and the site where Shakespeare in the Park is held in the summer that were considered. One location was too close to the pond, or too close to homes, the tennis balls would interfere with dogs, while the concrete area is too small. Councillor Lulham outlined the security considerations in for choosing the best location. Once a precise
P a g e 6
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL JANUARY 27, 2014
site has been chosen, a recommendation will be submitted to General Committee of Council for consideration.
Mayor Trent proposed to carry out a poll among residents in order to get the opinion of the broader public.
WESTMOUNT RECREATION CENTRE UPDATES
WRC CAFÉ
The Director of Legal Services and City Clerk, Viviana Iturriaga Espinoza, reported on the call for proposals that is nearing completion. She is currently awaiting for answers from the Director of Sports and Recreation with regards to the exclusivity and concessions provisions. Next, a date will be set for a visit of the Westmount Recreation Centre. In order to prepare the evaluating grid that will include the criteria that will be used to evaluate the proposals, one question remains, namely to determine if asking the bidder to cater would be one of the criteria to be taken into consideration. She asked for clarification about the type of tenders that should be used (publication or invitations) to attract the right business.
The Director General replied that a formal call for tenders is not required, and since the City is trying to target a specific type of operation, a call for proposals would better suit the requirements.
Councillor Lulham expressed her views on the WRC décor: a wonderful recreation centre that lacks style with the wrong color scheme that does not come together. She suggested that a better choice of furniture be purchased to replace the current mish-mash.
Mayor Trent agreed and suggested to put aside a budget for interior design. As much as the building is architecturally stunning, there was no overall planning for the interior design of the facility.
The City Clerk mentioned that, for the WRC Café, the promoter will be asked to get his own furniture. This aspect is part of the whole concept that will be evaluated by the Selection Committee.

The Director General reported that, following the MUHC visit by Council members, it was agreed to have their representatives attend a General Committee meeting to provide answers.
AMT
Councillor Samiotis asked for a plan of action in the absence of a response to the City’s request. She pointed out that other municipalities are putting pressure on the AMT to have a better service, while Westmount is the only City bordering the railway tracks but not using those trains. Councillor Samiotis reported on a meeting with Nicolas Girard, CEO of the AMT, to discuss the Train de l’Ouest corridor, the noise issues in District 7, and the night trains. She believes that actions should be taken by AMT to resolve the issues. She learned that the main obstacle for the electrification of the public transit system is the lack of budget.
VARIA
SHADOW COUNCIL
Mayor Trent reported on the Westmount Municipal Association request for a portfolio reporting from Council to allow the WMA to operate in a more efficient way, instead of having to ask questions. The WMA have decided that, prior to be asked to Council, all questions should be vetted.
The proposed shadow Council is as follows:
Councillor Martin François Prénovost Councillor Cutler Julia Carbone Councillor Drury: Jean-Pierre Picard Councillor Davis: Marilynn Gillis Councillor Smith: Mehdi Ghafouri Councillor Forbes Frits Beran Councillor Lulham John Fretz Councillor Samiotis: Jerry Miller
Mayor Trent asked that Councillors provide feedback about this proposal.
SPVM
Mayor Trent reported on the Director General’s meeting to discuss the new patrolling system. The Mayor indicated the need to discuss the matter and get Council’s reaction as soon as possible. He reported on the SPVM desire to stand on its own with oversight independent authority. Mayor Trent

GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL JANUARY 27, 2014
commented on the dissatisfaction of police officers concerning the experimental project to modernize their working hours. The Director General will summarize the situation of Station 12 night patrols in a memorandum that will be submitted at the next meeting of General Committee of Council for their review and comments.
LEGAL SETTLEMENT WITH VILLE DE MONTRÉAL
Mayor Trent reported on the proposed out-of-court settlement in the matter of the City of Westmount versus Ville de Montreal following demerger. In conclusion, even if the City was asking for 21 million $, he is of the opinion that settling the matter is a wise course of action. He recommended that Council accept the offer in the amount of $500,000 payable to Westmount. In his view, it is politically advantageous to settle at this time, after spending over 1 million $ in legal fees.
ARTS
Councillor Forbes reported on a proposal from Mr. Bruce Roberts, artist, who wishes to bring a canvas mural around the world, and at the end of the tour to auction off and give the money to charity. He is asking permission to hang the canvas between trees in Westmount Park. She suggested that, with Council’s agreement, the canvas be hung around the Gallery. She has yet to know if Mr. Roberts plans to launch the event in Westmount or if Westmount will be part of the tour.
On the subject of the public use of the parks, Mayor Trent reiterated the need to come up with a clear policy to establish rules for the use of parks and the Gallery.
Councillor Forbes to report back to General Committee of Council once she knows more about the artist’s intention.

Mayor Trent mentioned that there seems to be confusion about the date and that he would prefer that the mailing be done earlier. The Director General indicated that he will check the information with the Finance Department, but explained that the later date has to do with the logistic aspect from the tardiness in adopting the 2014 budget.

HYDRO WESTMOUNT RF METERS
The Director General mentioned that 2 notices of motion will be submitted at the public meeting: the increase of electricity rates and the opting out of RF meters. He confirmed that the Director of Hydro Westmount will make a presentation at the meeting of General Committee of Council to be held on February 17, 2014.
Councillor Martin asked about the fees charged for keeping the old meters. Mayor Trent replied that it was $17. Councillor Martin wanted to know about Hydro Quebec’s policy. The Director General informed that they changed the price for a dumb meter; a monthly fee of $17 for someone to read the meter. The UMQ Bulletin mentioned that HQ has installed 56% of these meters and resistance is minimal. The conditions for opting out will be presented.
Councillor Samiotis asked about the different models and the Director General replied that it depends on the voltage.
ITEM 9 – DISPOSAL OF SNOW
Councillor Martin expressed concerned about the tender results for the disposal of snow at the Norman snow dump. He indicated that money would be saved if the snow would be dumped at the Butler Chute instead than at the Norman Chute. The Director General expressed concerns about the fact that it’s the only one and that it gives more leverage and he explained the necessity to have access to two places, allowing for easier snow clearance. Councillor Samiotis asked about Canbec‘s availability to do the work. Director General replied that they do a lot of snow removal in the lanes, clean the lanes and dispose of the snow. The Director General explained that the Norman Chute is usually used on an ad-hoc basis, but that currently it’s going beyond. The administration is trying to get a longer term arrangement to offset the problems with the Butler chute. The Director General has requested that Public Works launch its tender in July and not in January.

ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION / DECISION
WESTMOUNT TEEN CENTRE / YMCA PARTNERSHIP
Copies were distributed of a memorandum from Mike Deegan, Director of Sports, Recreation, to the Director General, dated January 30, 2014.
Mayor Trent expressed concerns about the high costs and questioned the decision to hire one full time coordinator for teens. Councillors Forbes and Davis explained that it had always been the case and that the City is not subsidizing the YMCA. The Mayor noted that when the teen centre was on Sherbrooke Street, it was supervised by volunteers.
Mike Deegan, Director of Sports and Recreation and Mr. Gary White, from the YMCA, joined the meeting at 6:13 p.m.
Mike Deegan explained the proposed partnership agreement that the City is trying to create with the YMCA. The Teen Programme stopped in 2012 when the old arena was closed. He mentioned that the space in the Westmount Recreation Centre is phenomenal and ready to open. There was a risk of having a programme that was not up to date with the new facility and that is why this programme and staffing will bring it to the new level.
Gary White explained that the YMCA has experience to deal with teens that are at risk, left on the side and marginalized, as well as with seniors. The fact that the City is providing them with a space makes them feel that it is their space. There could be a strong partnership combining the City’s new space and their expertise. The YMCA has a strong network in place to join its staff with the City’s to work with the teen centre. The budget put together left a $16K gap that the YMCA is willing to fundraise with the City’s help. They are also trying to target The Foundation of YMCAs of Quebec. The Westmount YMCA is asking $49K from the City for the first year, until they have a chance to put up a financing strategy. The way the programme would function: the person would become an employee of the Y and two part-time; along with Dave Lapointe, to assist and bring added value.
The $16K additional funding
Mr. White is proposing 3 events: Concert and Silent Auction that raised $7K over the past year. Half of this amount was donated to the City for the WRC. Going forward, he thinks that it’s realistic to double the income through the participation of the City. As a 3 rd event, he suggested a hockey tournament organized by a local chef and hockey player who already raised $4K - he is behind this initiative). Those initiatives would bring money into the Y Kids Campaign for the Foundation.
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL RD FEBRUARY 3 , 2014 PAGE 5 OF 7
Mayor Trent expressed his views on the proposed agreement. He mentioned that the City had discussed some sort of partnership with the Y where both parties would pay their own employees. Mr. White mentioned that he is aware of those parameters and he explained that the proposal is based on this guiding principle.
The Director General asked about the money raised to go to the Y Strong Kids Campaign and whether there was a guarantee for that money going back. The answer was “yes”. The Director General commented that he sits on another board that has just been cut back. Councillor Drury mentioned that the Y was the biggest beneficiaries of Centraide.
Councillor Martin asked if GST and TVQ were included. Mr. White doesn’t think so but he is not sure about that. Does the City get a bill with GST?
Councillor Martin asked about the Y’s constituency for seniors. Mr. White answered that, in the long term, there should be a way to make a real useful space for seniors at other times; the Y has a great model for that. The downtown Y built in its place a great space for teens at risk and about 7, 9 years ago, there was a thought about turning it into a shared space. The leadership of the downtown Y was great about making the teens understand that it was a shared space. He indicated that in the long term, there is a way to make it work. It is not part of the proposal but it was discussed. It would need to be discussed with Contactivity.
Councillor Davis asked how many kids were involved. Mr. White replied that there are currently 102 different teens (15-25 every day) who were impacted by the programme with a target of serving 125-130 kids and get them up to 20-35 a day. She also asked whether they need to join the Y. Mr. White replied that they would like people to purchase a card that would give them access to the Teen Centre + the Y fitness programme.
The Director General mentioned that the Director of the Public Library, Julie-Ann Cardella, would be interested in a partnership with the Youth Zone.
Mike Deegan added that the City could give the coordinator who worked with the City until 2012 the possibility to train with the YMCA.
A discussion ensued about the role of the coordinator and the communication plan to inform the media. Also a discussion about integrating senior’s activities to the partnership.
Gary White left the meeting at 6:48 p.m.
The Director General mentioned that a formal resolution is required to approve the partnership with the Westmount YMCA.

REPORT ON MODIFICATION TO OPERATING HOURS OF STATION 12
Copies were distributed of a memorandum from Duncan E. Campbell, Director General, to General Committee of Council, dated January 30, 2014.
The Director General explained that he was informed by Commander Daniel Gervais that the SPVM was planning to implement a new policy where the territory of Station 12 (including Westmount) would be patrolled by Station 15 vehicles at night (between 1:00 and 6:00 a.m.) effective as of March, until October 2014. The objective is to improve conditions for police officers working night shifts. There are 11 stations affected by this project in 5 cities and boroughs. He reported on the various concerns expressed during the meeting that remained unanswered.
Recommendation: Given the proximity of the City of Westmount to the downtown core, it was suggested that a meeting be held with M. Marc Parent, the Chief of the SPVM and Council to reiterate the administration’s concerns and obtain a better operations and communications plan for this project.
STANDING ITEMS
MTQ
The Director General confirmed that the buildings located on Selby Street are ready for demolition scheduled for next summer.
The Director General acknowledged receipt of a letter from the MTQ concerning the City’s request for a feasibility study of a sound barrier: Dessau was chosen as a consultant, a pre-approved choice not from a tender call. The Director General would prefer to set a meeting with the MTQ representatives before the contract is awarded to the consultant in order to get an idea about the cost. Councillor Samiotis will provide an update report at the public meeting.

The 2014 Budget has been posted on the Website.
Councillor Samiotis: Given our difficulty in answering questions from the public concerning contracts, she requested that monthly updates be provided to Council members. The Director General confirmed that Council members will be informed on a regular basis about key issues.
Councillor Lulham mentioned the necessity for Council to get regular reports given the information gap created by the abolition of the Standing Committees in 2009. Minutes of these committees used to be submitted to General Committee of Council and would help provide some background information. She suggested that the topic be discussed at the Council's retreat.
The City Clerk informed General Committee that she has requested that a new tab be added on the City's Website in order for the public to have access to draft by-laws and public notices. She mentioned the "glitch" that on the current Website that does not always allow accurate updates of the by-laws for the public.
Parking Meters

ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION/DECISION
CHANGES TO ZONING BY-LAWS
Copies were distributed of the following documentation:
• Memorandum from Duncan E. Campbell, Director General, to General Committee of Council, dated February 13, 2014; • Memorandum from Joanne Poirier, Director of Urban Planning, to General Committee of Council, dated January 23, 2014.
General Committee of Council was requested to approve a change in the Zoning By-law for signage and proceed with a notice of motion to delete the provisions relating to signage on a commercial building contiguous to a residential zone, its size and location.
J. Poirier wrote that, further to a request to permit signage on the De Maisonneuve façade for the 5 Saisons established at 1250 Greene Avenue, the Planning Advisory recommended to delete sections 7.2.8 and 7.2.8.1 of the Zoning By-law taken that these provisions are obsolete since enseignes lumineuses ne sont pas autorisées par règlement et que la restriction concernant la distance n,a plus sa raison d'être.
The Director General suggested postponing this non-urgent amendment to the Zoning By-law taking into account the time and monetary impact on Council and the administration. Unless a change to the Zoning By-law is deemed urgent by Council, future amendments will be batched together and passed at the appropriate time.
All agreed.

CONDITIONS FOR OPTING OUT OF RF METERS
Copies were distributed of a memorandum from Mr. Benoit Hurtubise, Director of Hydro Westmount, to General Committee of Council, dated February 11, 2014.
Mr. Hurtubise, Director of Hydro Westmount, joined the meeting at 8:24 p.m.
Mr. Hurtubise reported that for the last few years, Hydro Westmount has been replacing its outdated electro-mechanical meters with a new technology (RF meters). Some residents have requested to opt-out of these meters and Mr. Hurtubise has been working on a policy with the appropriate conditions.
Mr. Hurtubise reported on various discussions that he had with other AREQ partners (Sherbrooke) about the guidelines that should be adopted to allow Hydro Westmount clients to opt-out of the new RF meters. He mentioned that only residential clients will be offered the opportunity to have a non RF meter installed outdoors. Mr. Hurtubise indicated that, following Council's feedback, they need to establish a fee to cover the initial installation and a fee to capture and process the meter reading each month. He indicated that Hydro Quebec rates currently in effect for customers requesting the installation of a non-Smart meter include a first time installation fee of $137 + a monthly charge of $17 ($206 yearly). It is expected that these fees will be lowered by the Régie de l'énergie . In order to justify these costs, Hydro Québec explained that it is required to keep an inventory. Mr. Hurtubise emphasized the need to have access to the meters at all times for the opt-out program.
Councillor Martin explained that the City does not want to encourage the opting out option since there is no benefit for Hydro Westmount, adding to costs and imposing manual intervention for the reading. The monthly charge of $17 for the reading corresponds to the fees proposed by Hydro Québec, pending the approval of the Régie de l’énergie. In his opinion, Hydro Westmount should align its fees with Hydro Québec’s instead of the ones proposed by Sherbrooke.
Councillor Samiotis asked for clarification about the way the replacement of the meters will be communicated to the residents. Mr. Hurtubise mentioned that a leaflet will be delivered door-to-door a month before the operations will get underway; the opt-out option will be indicated with a mention to contact HW customer services for additional information. He insisted that the RF meters are not the smart meters being installed in the rest of Quebec and that Westmount residents should be informed accordingly. He explained that all meters need to be changed because of the expiration date.
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL FEBRUARY 17, 2014 PAGE 6
All agreed with the recommendations of the Director of Hydro Westmount to proceed with the implementation of the policy relating to the opting-out of RF meters.
Action: A notice of motion to be given at the March regular Council meeting to amend By-law 1273 governing the supply of electricity.
IMPACT OF THE MTQ ON CITY OPERATIONS
Copies were distributed of the following documents:
• Memorandum from Duncan E. Campbell, Director General, to the General Committee of Council, dated February 13, 2014; • Letter and plan from Alain-Marc Dubé of the MTQ, dated November 4, 2013; • Letter and plans from Alain-Marc Dubé dated February 3,2014; and • Plan of Hydro Westmount’s proposed site modification.
The Director General reported on the MTQ’s proposal to acquire a portion of the City’s land that serves as parking and storage for Hydro Westmount in order to accelerate the pumping of the contaminants that were the joint responsibility of the STM and the City over the last 22 years. This acquisition will allow MTQ to receive the permit from the Minister of Environment that is required for its entire Turcot project.
The Director of Hydro Westmount, Benoit Hurtubise, reported that the MTQ wants to acquire the portion of land adjacent to the Hydro Westmount yard. He explained that the loss of the land that is used for transformer storage is a major inconvenience for Hydro Westmount. The City has hired an urban planner to provide a proposal that will require the re-arranging of the parking lot and construction of a protection area. The proposed option has been reviewed by the Planning Advisory Committee. The MTQ has reiterated its intention to start the work immediately on the decontamination and has offered temporary storage locations.
Councillor Martin proposed to make a counter offer to the MTQ where they would be responsible for the cost to remove the old incinerator. The Director General replied that the current offer does not include the portion of land where the incinerator is located. The liability of the incinerator will need to be addressed at some time in the near future.
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL FEBRUARY 17, 2014 PAGE 7
Councillor Lulham concurred with the opinion expressed by Councillor Martin, taking into account the expenditures incurred by the City over the last 20 years to pay to the STM for the decontamination of the land.
Mayor Trent recommended to accept the MTQ offer, given the estimated value of the acre of land that would cost approximately $3M in decontamination costs, not to mention the liability.
All agreed with the recommendations to approve the exchange of land subject to the conditions enumerated in the memorandum of February 13, 2014.
Mr. Hurtubise left the meeting at 9:03 p.m.
TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Copies were distributed of a memorandum from Duncan E. Campbell, Director General, to General Committee of Council, dated February 13, 2014.
General Committee was requested to make recommendations on improving the management of traffic issues in the City of Westmount.
The Director General mentioned that the former Traffic Advisory Committee was converted into the Transportation Advisory Committee, following the adoption of the Traffic Master Plan in 2013. It was agreed to have Council members to meet every 2 months to look at issues that affect all of Westmount while the administration would meet on a monthly basis to deal with specific and local issues. The Director General reported that, following reception of the study on bike paths and the study on parking in the South-East, a large amount of work is required to proceed with the implementation of the Plan. In light of the impending retirement of the Director of Public Security, David Sedgwick, who currently chairs the meeting, it is recommended to revert to Public Works the responsibility of the Committee as it is the department that handles most of the work and it would ensure better coordination. Furthermore, he recommended that the City hires an additional full- time employee, either a traffic engineer or a technician to advise the committee and coordinate the on-going work.
All agreed to approve the recommendations of the Director General to:
1. Revert to Public Works the chair of the Transportation Advisory Committee; and 2. Hire a full-time employee (traffic engineer or technician). The Mayor suggested that the position be contractual.
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL FEBRUARY 17, 2014 PAGE 8
PARCOURS DÉCOUVERTE DU MONT-ROYAL
General Committee of Council was requested to review a proposal to establish a discovery walk through the Site patrimonial du Mont-Royal , as part of the celebration of the 375th anniversary of the City of Montreal’s creation.
Councillor Lulham reported on this project entitled “parcours-découverte du Mont Royal” that has been selected by the Table de concertation du Mont-Royal which expressed its intention of establishing a permanent path. The proposal would link walks through the 3 Summits (Outremont – Mont-Royal – Westmount). She outlined that the walk includes crossing Côte-des-Neiges, passing through the Tradau area, then up to Belvedere Rd. and on to Summit Woods (or Summit Circle), to exit at the St. Joseph Oratory. The intention is to establish a walk of discovery with discreet markers that will blend into the environment. Westmount’s involvement is desirable since the project covers the entire territory of the Site patrimonial du Mont-Royal .
All agreed to participate in this project. Councillor Lulham to report back to General Committee of Council on the progress of the project.

The City Clerk provided additional information on the selection process following the call for proposals for the operation of the café in Westmount Recreation Centre.

GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL FEBRUARY 17, 2014 PAGE 9
A discussion on vending machines took place. The Director General explained that the vending machines were installed on a temporary basis to accommodate the users until the Café was established. The operator of the café will be responsible for the new vending machines. On the objection raised about selling soft drinks at the arena, the Director General mentioned the demand and revenue attraction. There was mention that some municipalities have adopted the school board’s policy that abolished soft drinks on their premises and promotes healthy choices. The City Clerk mentioned that if the City wishes to adopt a policy, it should be included in the agreement that will be entered into with the operator.
It was agreed that this factor be taken into consideration when evaluating the proposals.

MASSOTHERAPY
The City Clerk reported on the correspondence received by the City from the Collège des médecins about the legality of the obligation created in the Zoning By- law where massotherapy can only be practiced under the Professional Code . According to their position, the City does not have the jurisdiction to create such obligation.
The City Clerk indicated that the provision was introduced in the Zoning By-law in 1986 while massotherapy is not even regulated under the Professional Code (chapter C-26). In her opinion, it is not wise to maintain this provision and she recommended that it be repealed.

B) CONFIRMATION OF MINUTES
The minutes of the meeting of General Committee of Council held on February 17, 2014 were adopted with corrections.
C) BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 17, 2013
TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Councillor Martin mentioned that his comments on this subject were omitted from the minutes. It was agreed that he would provide a text to be confirmed at the next meeting of General Committee of Council.
ZONING CHANGES - UPDATE
Councillor Martin commented about the legal context of services provided by massage therapists. He mentioned that minutes of the last meeting of General Committee of Council did not reflect the reservations he had expressed. He referred to an article published in the Globe and Mail newspaper that put in the legal context the Supreme Court decision that struck down Canada’s prostitution laws in December 2013. Quoting the Chief Justice: ‘It is not a crime in Canada to sell sex for money’, the ruling indicated that Parliament cannot impose regulations at the cost of the health and safety of individuals. The government has 10 months to come up with a new law. Historically, there is a trend to adopt the Dutch model: restricting such activities to certain districts. In Norway, it’s not illegal to accept money but it’s illegal to pay for it. Canadian government is leaning in that direction.
Councillor Martin asked if these new provisions would affect the City of Westmount.
The Director of Legal Services and City Clerk, Me Viviana Iturriaga Espinoza, reiterated that the City of Westmount exceeded its jurisdiction when it adopted a provision in its Zoning By-law prohibiting the practice of massage therapy unless supervised by a member of a professional corporation. Since massotherapists are not governed by the Professional Code , she proposed to amend the provision in order to remove the reference to the Professional Code, and adopt a text that could have the same effect. She added that the City could find inspiration in policies adopted by insurance companies.
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL MARCH 3, 2014 PAGE 3
Action: The Director of Legal Services and City Clerk to present a recommended amendment to Sec. 6.3(4)(i) of Zoning By-law 1302.
MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT (MTQ)
Councillor Martin expressed concerns about Dessau’s proposal on a contract with the City while the company cannot bid on any public-sector contracts in Quebec. The Director General replied that Dessau’s offer of services has not yet beenaccepted by the MTQ and that it was only a proposal. He is trying to obtain further information from the MTQ.
CONDITIONS FOR OPTING OUT OF RF METERS
Councillor Martin clarified that, contrary to the statement made at the last General Committee meeting, Hydro Quebec’s opt out option offered to their customers did not provide for the installation of a RF meter instead of a smart meter, but of a non-communicating electronic meter that must be read manually. The Director General indicated that he was not aware of that specific options offered to HQ customers.
Councillor Martin asked about the need to amend two by-laws to increase electricity rates and add the opt-out option from the RF meters. The City Clerk explained that currently two different by-laws deal with these provisions: By- law 742 establishes the electricity rates while By-law 1273 governs the supply of electricity; consequently, the conditions for opting out would be regulated by By-law 1273, and the tariff for opting out would be governed by By-law 742.
Councillor Samiotis joined the meeting by telephone conference at 5:20 p.m.
PRIVATE MEMBER ’S BILL TO THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
The City Clerk confirmed that MNA Jacques Chagnon has acknowledged receipt of the Council resolution adopted to present the Private Member’s Bill for the appointment to the Planning Advisory Committee. She explained that in order to be passed during the spring sitting period, the complete dossier for the City’s Private Member’s Bill should have been submitted to the National Assembly no later than February 11. As part of the legislative process, the Council resolution is not sufficient as the City must publish a “Notice of
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL MARCH 3, 2014 PAGE 4
Introduction of a Private Bill” once in the Gazette officielle du Québec and once a week, over 4 consecutive weeks, in a local newspaper. The waiting period is mandatory before the bill is introduced. She proposed to start the publication by mid-March in order to present the private bill during the next legislative sitting taking into account the call for anticipated general provincial elections.

She suggested to ask the Director of Urban Planning for an answer.
Councillor Lulham replied that most of the time, the problem is that residents report incidents after they occur. That was the nature of their most recent complaint. She suggested that residents call Public Safety or 911 instead of complaining to their councillors. She reported having asked Mrs. Poirier to have the CSST involved to resolve safety issues and she agreed to follow up on such request.
Mrs. Joanne Poirier, Director of Urban Planning, joined the meeting at 5:45 p.m.

GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL MARCH 3, 2014 PAGE 9
The City Clerk explained that members of Council should not use their own telephone and email address, for reasons of privacy and to limit the access to information requests.

• Memorandum from Duncan E. Campbell, Director General, to General Committee of Council, dated March 13, 2014; • Correspondence from the Borough of Ville-Marie concerning the Pôle d’intervention en itinérance; and • Documentation: Implantation du Pôle d’intervention au Square Cabot et ses abords.
General Committee of Council was requested to consider an offer from the City of Montreal to assist with the issues of vagrancy and homelessness in the southeast sector of Westmount ostensibly as a result of the closing of Cabot Square. The City of Westmount is asked to contribute an amount of $21,000 to this pilot project in order to complete the financing of specialized professionals whose total amount is $84,000.
The Director General distributed a report concerning the low-income and homeless Inuit in Montreal. He indicated that Westmount and the Ville-Marie Borough both agreed that there is a need to do something for homelessness and that the closing of Cabot Square will make matter worse for displaced people. Therefore, there might be a need to ask for help from The Open Door in the short term and get a social plan with the police force to avoid the worst outcome.
Councilor Samiotis reported having received numerous calls from residents complaining about increase of incidents in Stayner Park, and most recently in Werendale Park. . She reported having talked to The Open Door to verify the potential of services that could be provided with the proper resources. Councillor Samiotis mentioned that that is the City’s responsibility to answer to residents’ concerns. The residents believe in the mandate of the Open Door. There is a need to redirect the itinerants as soon as Cabot Square will close in the spring.. According to experts, it takes 3-4 years to get someone off the street, so additional programs are required to have a positive impact. Councilor Samiotis also reported
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL MARCH 17, 2014 PAGE 4 that another avenue that should be looked at is Makivik’s offer to have social workers work at The Open Door .
The Director General explained that the Pôle d’intervention au Square Cabot is part of the action plan. They have been working with the Northern Quebec Module (Module du Nord québécois ), which is responsible for all aspects of patient transits in Montreal. Its proximity to the Cabot Square has contributed to the increased problems.
Mayor Trent expressed concerns that the requested amount ($21,000) would not be given directly to The Open Door. The Director General mentioned that the grant could be earmarked for The Open Door and he offered to ask the Directrice de la culture, des sports, des loisirs et du développement social of the Ville-Marie Borough , about the option of providing a one year grant.
It was agreed to earmark an amount of $21,000 as a special grant to The Open Door as part of this particular program and help for their operating costs.
Councillor Samiotis will follow-up with the funding request.
175 METCALFE
Verbal report: follow-up to the deferral of this item from last Council meeting.
The Director General recapped on the developments of the building permit application that was deferred from the last Council meeting. He asked if, following the PAC meeting on March 4, Councillors Smith, Cutler and Davis had received the necessary information to make a decision. They confirmed that the meeting was very informative.
Mayor Trent read Councillor Martin’s email (in his absence): “he remains troubled by the project because it is too massive and that there was no change in the design since the appeal. He had requested for a sunlight study and he learned that Place Kensington will be affected by this new building. He confirmed that he will be voting against the project when it is submitted for Council’s approval”. Mayor Trent reiterated his views on the proposed building, having requested that the project be reduced and more articulated. The fact that one Council member will be voting against it leaves Council with a “fait accompli”. He would prefer that such projects be submitted to General Committee of Council at the beginning of the process.
Councillor Samiotis reported that, in terms of the process, she concurred that Council is put in a difficult position. She attended the two presentations given to the
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL MARCH 17, 2014 PAGE 5
PAC. Given the change in use, from institutional to residential, she understands why Council could have been informed earlier in the process. On the other hand, the replacement program was reviewed in accordance with the Zoning By-law. She agreed that the current process should be reviewed at a future meeting.
The Director General agreed that the process might not serve Council’s wish to be involved earlier in the approval process, however there was a demolition hearing, followed by an appeal to Council. He reminded that this process was introduced in 2009, as Council required that the Council approve the replacement program for a demolition before the demolition hearing. The Director General proposed that Council meet with PAC on an annual basis to exchange views and to provide some kind of orientation in order to help the decision process.
Councillor Samiotis extended an invitation to all Council members to attend a briefing about the Planning Advisory Committee and the Board of inspectors.
Councillor Drury expressed a different position about the process, he noted that when the owner applied for the permit, the zoning provisions allowed for 2 extra floors, but they nevertheless agreed for more set back on the first floor. His understanding was that the owner did not need to redo the drawings to address the massiveness of the building, since he was in his legal rights.
Mayor Trent dissented. In his opinion, the request to reduce the bulkiness was made by the Demolition Committee hearing, after the 7 th floor penthouse was removed.
PROPOSED CHANGES TO WESTMOUNT PARK
The Director General proceeded with a presentation of the proposal prepared by Marc Fauteux, landscape architect, to deal with the entrance of Westmount Park Church, alongside the Westmount Recreation Centre. He explained that the proposed layout will allow enough room for cars to come in and to proceed without interfering with the parking. The bicycle path would be built adjacent to the parking lot and further South, the pedestrian path leading to the park would be protected by a retaining wall and lights. The Director General mentioned that the plans will have to be submitted to the Church’s representatives. He also indicated that the proposal will be submitted to the Agglomeration, given that the bicycle path is part of its jurisdiction.

ROTARY SALE
Councillor Martin commented on the use of the Westmount Recreation Centre that was discussed in his absence. Mr. Peter Starr, President of the Westmount Municipal Association, contacted him to confirm that they were ready to proceed with their auction sale, however, Councillor Martin is of the opinion that the most attractive option for the Rotary would be to use the Armoury as last year, where the handling of the items can be done on the same level. It would mean less potential damage to the WRCand less issues with the Fire Department. He proposed that General Committee of Council agree with this proposal.
Councillor Lulham explained her position regarding the use of the Armoury for events outside its mandate. However, she asked how the City could allow the auction sale while taking into account that part of the fundraising proceeds will go to the Westmount Manor. She mentioned that the event had never raised any complaints.
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL APRIL 8, 2014 PAGE 3
Director General Campbell reported on his discussion with the Director of Sports and Recreation and both expressed concerns about potential damages to the art work in the agora and the aspect of the cleaning afterward. He mentioned that, since the Rotary Club’s sale is not-for-profit, the option of holding the event at the Armoury could be permitted. The Director General still recommended that the exercise be done with the fire department.
All agreed to enable the Rotary Club of Westmount to hold their Auction Sale at the Armoury in June 2014.
WESTMOUNT RECREATION CENTRE
Construction and Design: Councillor Martin mentioned that invoices for extras will be submitted for Council’s approval.
Fundraising:
Councillor Lulham asked for clarification about the Aquatic Festival’s fundraising event to be held on June 21. Councillor Forbes confirmed that the event is part of the WRC Fundraising Campaign that was postponed until the spring because of the delay in the new pool opening. She confirmed that it is not to benefit the Dolphins Swim Team. The Director General asked for Council’s support for the event.
FOLLOW -UP TO MUHC SITE VISIT
Director General Campbell confirmed receipt of the document prepared by the MUHC outlining the arguments to be provided to Mayor Trent for his meeting with Mayor Coderre regarding the case for a second entrance to the Vendome Inter-modal station.
POLE D ’INTERVENTION EN ITINÉRANCE – CABOT SQUARE
Director General Campbell explained the change in the recommendation to provide a donation of $21,000 to the YMCA Downtown. A Council resolution is not required according to the By-law on delegation of power that provides authorization to the Director General for approving such expenses.
Councillor Samiotis asked for specifications about the targeted programme at the YMCA. The Director General explained that the YMCA will be supervising the social workers and that, since the activity will be starting in April, he requested authorization to contract out with the YMCA now before any
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL APRIL 8, 2014 PAGE 4
announcement at Council. Councillor Samiotis would prefer to announce the donation after her meeting with residents scheduled for the end of April.
All agreed with the Director General’s recommendation.
PROPOSED CHANGES TO WESTMOUNT PARK
Director General Campbell reported that a meeting has been scheduled on April 11, 2014 with the Church representatives and Councillor Smith.
Councillor Lulham indicated that while the matter was discussed in her absence at a previous General Committee, she questioned the plans that were subsequently submitted to the Planning Advisory Committee. She expressed concerns about the junction of the major walkway parallel to Lansdowne Avenue to De Maisonneuve where large vehicles will be allowed to back up. In her opinion, it is not correct and she asked for a modification in order to move the sidewalk more to the north to avoid any vehicle interference.
Mayor Trent asked for clarification about the location of path and requested that Public Works review the proposed changes. The Director General mentioned the importance of getting the Church’ support. The plans are based on the Transportation Advisory Committee’s input with the objective of saving as much green space as possible. He agreed to review the proposal before the scheduled meeting with the Church.

It was agreed to approve the expenditure of $21,000 to be paid to the downtown YMCA. No resolution is required since the Director General is authorized to expense up to $25,000, in accordance to By-law on the delegation of powers to certain employees of the City of Westmount .

GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL APRIL 8, 2014 PAGE 8

5. TRAIN STATION
Councillor Smith reported on the request from the Fournil to occupy the Train station.
Mayor Trent reported that the City had received a lot of suggestions for the unoccupied Westmount Train Station over the years. He proposed to have a committee that could start brainstorming about potential uses and make recommendations to General Committee of Council. In his opinion, any discussion is pointless at this time since the City has yet to determine a clear vision. He suggested that the item be submitted to General Committee for further discussion. Mayor Trent proposed to have a review of the plan and the building’s history before any decision is made.
Director General Campbell suggested a field trip to the site before entertaining any repairs.
PM Says that WMA congratulated the City over the way the Agenda was created, a lengthy agenda but summarized.
6. STANDING ITEMS - UPDATES
• MTQ
Director General Campbell reported on the meetings held on March 31 with the MTQ and Dessau for the sound barrier. They are in a fact finding mode and are quite ambitious with this project to have it done by the summer.
The Director General requested that the issue concerning the removal of the access to the highway at the south end of Greene Avenue be discussed. He reported that the MTQ has asked about the City’s position on the future of Greene Avenue, given that the bridge is causing daily problem given its low clearance. It could become a pedestrian access, but the effect on the lower side of Westmount, on St-Antoine
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL APRIL 8, 2014 PAGE 9
Street, must be reviewed. He confirmed that nearby Selby street be permanently inaccessible.
Councillor Lulham expressed concerns about closing the south access of Greene Avenue that will potentially redirect traffic on Lansdowne Avenue. It must be reviewed thoroughly. She proposed a “balise” on the bridge to stop the noise.
Councillor Davis asked for clarification about the timeline schedule for the sound barrier. Councillor Samiotis indicated that that there will be a public consultation meeting sometimes in September. Then, there will be a call for tenders and a Council resolution to approve the expenditures.
Councillor Lulham recommended carrying out a phone survey. There could be a decision issue if the survey reveals a 50/50 split result for a sound barrier.
• AMT
The Director General confirmed that on April 1 st , AMT met with Councillors Samiotis, Lulham and the Admininstration and outlined the 2014 work schedule. There are signal bridges to be installed in the summer and the installation of the third track in the fall. There will be a presentation to the public, followed by public notices in the newspaper, as well as door-to-door information in Councillors Lulham and Samiotis’ districts. The work will be done during the day and on some weekends but never at night.
Councillor Martin asked if the third track will be used by moving trains. Councillor Lulham explained that, because of the proximity, it will be used by empty trains going back downtown, and therefore, travelling faster.
• MUHC
No report.

The creation of the CTRC (Communications) meeting was discussed under Item 7: Website Renewal.
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL APRIL 8, 2014 PAGE 10
PARKING METERS INCREASE
Councillor Samiotis expressed her dissatisfaction with the proposed increase of parking meters on Greene Avenue, considering the fact that it will be the first summer over the last 3 years that the street will be clear of any construction. She complained about the lack of a communication plan or discussion with the merchants before the implementation of the new tariffs.
The Director General agreed on the necessity to come up with a parking meter policy, but he insisted on the obligation to provide additional revenues to the City. He mentioned that a decision must be made regarding the new meter at the Westmount Recreation Centre.

ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION/DECISION
UPDATE ON CHANGES TO THE PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Mayor Trent mentioned General Committee’s intention to reappoint Mrs. Julia Gersovitz, Architect, as the next chairman of the Planning Advisory Committee (PAC). It was noted that as per An Act respecting land use planning and development, the term of office of the members must not exceed two years and that it may be renewed, while the City’s By-law stipulated that a term of office of any member cannot be renewed more than four (4) times. Mayor Trent explained that the intention is to empower the committee to establish a rule of internal management that would allow for the reappointment of an ex-member in compliance with the law. A legal opinion has been requested to validate that such appointment does not infringe any regulations.
Mayor Trent also reported that the provincial legislation imposes that members of the Committee must be chosen among the residents in the territory of the municipality. As Westmount is the only municipality requiring that PAC members be architects and/or urban planners, the choice within the city’s territory is very limited. General Committee of Council has requested the introduction of a Private Bill allowing the appointment of architects residing outside its territory. The process is currently in motion with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, Regions and Land Occupancy and the Private Bill should be introduced to the National Assembly either by Westmount-St. Louis MNA Jacques Chagnon or NDG MNA Kathleen Weil.
Mayor Trent mentioned that it is important to clarify some provisions of By-law 1320 with regards to the appointment of members of the PAC in compliance with the law. All agreed.
A notice of motion to be tabled at the May 5 public meeting with the intention to adopt the amended By-law on June 2, 2014.
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL APRIL 22, 2014 PAGE 3
UPDATE ON POLICY REVIEW OF PUBLIC USE OF CITY BUILDINGS
Michael Deegan, Director of Sports and Recreation, joined the meeting at 4:40 p.m.
Copies were distributed of the following documentation:
• Memorandum from Duncan E. Campbell, Director General, to General Committee of Council, dated April 17, 2014; • Draft Policy for use of Westmount Pool, Tennis Courts and Sport Fields; • Draft Policy for the rental of the WRC rinks and activity rooms; • Memo from Mayor Peter F. Trent.
Mike Deegan reported on the upcoming discussion to establish new policies for the use of the rinks, the multi-purpose rooms, the pool and the WRC facility.
Councillor Lulham reported on the recent discussion with Councillors Davis and Forbes to review the current version of the policy concerning the use of the pool, tennis courts and sports fields. A new version is being put forward and the final version shall be submitted once General Committee comes to a consensus.
Me Viviana Iturriaga Espinoza, the Director of Legal Services and City Clerk joined the meeting at 4:42 p.m.
Mr. Deegan highlighted the recent requests for rentals of the WRC’s rink for the 2014 summer season. He reported that 13 out of 20 time slots have been booked. While Westmount residents are given priority 2 months ahead of time, he mentioned having received 26 requests from non-residents. In order to add to the revenues, he would like to consider such requests, and he asked for Council’s orientation. In his opinion, the rental fees for non-resident could be raised to $175 during the day and $250 in the evening. He noted that it represents an average tariff in comparison with neighborhood municipalities.
Councillor Cutler reported that, in his opinion, Sports and Recreation Department should take initiative to organize the events, instead of the residents. He expressed concerns about opening the rink rental to a market where hockey players are paying fees to a 3rd party who is making a profit. In his opinion, it should be the responsibility of the Sports and Recreation Department to offer additional summer programmes where local players could register. Councillor Cutler mentioned that, in his view, the proposal to rent to non-residents is fine and the reasons to do so make sense. However, there is growing concern about renting out to organizations that charges a premium to the players.
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL APRIL 22, 2014 PAGE 4
Mike Deegan reported that the City does not make any profit while managing its own leagues. He mentioned the necessity to get additional budget for manpower in order to register additional programmes. The Director of Legal Services and City Clerk mentioned the legal issues that might arise given that there are currently no provisions that allow these charging fees. She insisted that they need to be embedded in a by-law.
A discussion ensued about the impact of the schedule of the rink rental on free skating. Mayor Trent asked for assurance that Westmounters have plenty of access to free skating.
It was agreed that the rink’s rental policy would be revisited and that there would be no rentals.
Councillor Lulham brought up the rental of activity and multi-purpose rooms to Westmount residents.
Mayor Trent mentioned that he opposed the rental of rooms for private parties. He explained that one of the reasons why Council must look at these rentals in a comprehensive way is the fact that no private rentals are allowed at Victoria Hall. In his opinion, it should not be different for the WRC. Mayor Trent envisioned problems for off limits rentals, as residents who would want to join would be left out. He requested that the matter be discussed to determine if indeed, the City should allow rental for private parties. The amount of revenue is minimum compared with the friction that may arise.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:07 p.m. and reconvened at 5:11 p.m.
Mayor Trent outlined his suggested policy regarding the use of city-owned buildings. He insisted that facilities should be available and events open to all Westmounters. Private use of, or restricted entry to publicly funded buildings should not be allowed, even if monetary compensation is paid to the City, the only exception being ice rink rental to groups. One must keep in mind that the Westmount Recreation Centre is also a community centre. So, before setting a definite policy regarding its private use, Council must look at it. The multi-purpose rooms should be used as part of an activity, but not specifically for a foreign event. The Mayor would prefer to tighten the rules at the beginning, and should the rink ended up being underused in the summer of 2014, then outside rentals might be considered for 2015. He reiterated the need to have a thorough discussion.
It was agreed that Councillor Davis will resubmit for discussion the rental policy for the WRC multi-purpose rooms at a subsequent meeting of General Committee of Council.
POLICY ON POOL USE
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL APRIL 22, 2014 PAGE 5
Mike Deegan reported that the capacity of the old pool was 299. He requested Council’s orientation about increasing the new pool’s capacity that may hold up to 500 people. He recommended that the capacity be increased to allow up to 350 people, implying the hiring of one additional life guard for a 90-day period at a cost of $9,000.
A discussion ensued about the current policy for non-residents: guest accompanied by a Westmount resident are allowed to buy a day pass for $5.
Mayor Trent expressed concerns about potential media articles about any new restrictions imposed on non-residents. However, considering the attraction that a brand new pool and new pavilion might have, he proposed to raise the daily rate substantially for non-residents.
Following a discussion on the potential increase of users, Mike Deegan proposed to allow as many as possible as long as the number is dictated by safety.
Given that the fees have already been published in the Sports and Recreation Pamphlet, it was agreed to hold off on any increase and not impose any cap on the number of non-residents at any given time for the 2014 summer. Mike Deegan will monitor the situation and provide Council with an assessment report in the fall.
SPORT FIELDS
It was mentioned that Westmount residents and schools may rent the fields at the rate of $50 per hour ($75 per hour with cleats), if space is available.
A discussion ensued about the unauthorized use of the main field by non-residents.
Mike Deegan left the meeting at 5:50 p.m.
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL APRIL 22, 2014 PAGE 6
SUMMIT WOODS MASTER PLAN
Marianne Zalzal, Director of Public Works, joined the meeting at 7:12 p.m.
Copies were distributed of the following documentation:
• Memorandum from Jayme Gerbrandt, Horticulture and Arboriculture Inspector, to Marianne Zalzal, Director of Public Works, dated April 15, 2014; • Le bois Summit – Ajout au plan directeur pour les parcs et les espaces verts de Westmount, from Fauteux et associés, architectes paysagistes.
General Committee of Council was requested to review the observations and recommendations made in regards to the landscape and heritage of the Summit Woods.
Councillor Lulham reported that, in 2010, Council adopted the Westmount Parks and Green Space Master Plan prepared by Marc Fauteux, a report containing the history and plans of all parks, as well as a list of recommendations that have been reviewed by Public Works. It was noted that Summit Woods had been excluded from the original Master plan due to its special status as a forest and urban reserve. In 2013, Council recommended to move forward with the rehabilitation of Summit Woods and M. Fauteux was requested to conduct a study using the same methodology as the one used for the Master Plan, as well as propose interventions and recommendations. Such report is submitted for Council’s orientation.
Marianne Zalzal indicated that the City would like to adopt officially the Summit Woods Master Plan, as part of the original one. It was noted that Summit Woods offer an appeal and priceless value that contributes to Westmount’s rich heritage and the exceptional environment enjoyed by its citizens. Mrs. Zalzal indicated that some changes will be made to include the ‘boisé’.
Councillor Lulham suggested that the Westmount Parks and Green Space Master Plan be translated into English. Mayor Trent proposed to have a discussion on a policy governing translation of documents.
All agreed to adopt the Summit Woods Master Plan as submitted by the Director of Public Works and endorsed by the Commissioner of Parks.
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL APRIL 22, 2014 PAGE 7
PLAN D’ACTION SUR L’EAU POTABLE
Copies were distributed of the following documentation:
• Memorandum from Marianne Zalzal, Director of Public Works, to General Committee of Council, dated April 19, 2014. • Rapport annuel de la gestion de l’eau potable 2012, dated April 11, 2014.
General Committee of Council was requested to review the City of Westmount’s 2012 annual report regarding the management of drinking water that includes the Action Plan with the measures aimed at reducing water consumption.
Mrs. Zalzal reported on the objectives aimed at reducing water consumption by implementing measures and outlined that the Action Plan must be submitted and approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, Regions and Land Occupancy (MAMROT) upon authorization from Council. In order to streamline the resources about water consumption and leaks, Public Works identified actions included in the 2012 Action Plan submitted herewith. Mrs. Zalzal mentioned that in 2012, the City has already proceeded with the adoption of a by-law to regulate water usage, the promotion of the use of rain barrels and a bi-annual leak detection program throughout the City. As part of the Stratégie Québécoise sur l’économie d’eau potable, the target date of December 31, 2016 has been set to achieve a 20% reduction of the per capita water consumption and network water leaks, including the installation of water meters in businesses, institutions and municipal buildings. Mrs. Zalzal mentioned that since taking over the water network from the City of Montreal in 2006, the average number of water leaks has decreased.
All agreed to submit the 2012 annual report regarding the management of drinking water for Council’s approval at the May 5, 2014 Council meeting. The 2013 Action Plan will be submitted to General Committee of Council at the August 4, 2014 meeting.
Marianne Zalzal left the meeting at 7:25 p.m.

COMMISSION DES SERVICES ÉLECTRIQUES DE MONTRÉAL
Copies were distributed of the following documentation:
• Memorandum from Duncan E. Campbell, Director General, to General Committee of Council, dated April 17, 2014; • Letter from Ava L. Couch, Director General of Town of Mount Royal, to Mayor Trent, dated April 7, 2014.
Mayor Trent reported on the request from the Town of Mount Royal to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, Regions and Land Occupany (MAMROT) to enact legislative amendments allowing the jurisdiction of the Commission des services électriques de Montréal to be expanded to work on the territory of the Town of Mount Royal through an agreement between the parties. He pointed out that Westmount is the only City with its own electricity network. Mayor Trent explained that, as a formality, the MAMROT required the reconstituted Cities to adopt a resolution accepting such change. All agreed.
A resolution to be submitted at a subsequent regular Council meeting.
AMENDMENT TO BY-LAW CONCERNING PARKS (69)
Copies were distributed of a draft By-law to further amend By-law concerning Parks.
General Committee of Council was requested to review the proposed updated version of By-law to further amend By-law 69 concerning parks that will be submitted for adoption at the regular Council meeting to be held on June 2, 2014.
Councillor Lulham reported that Public Security and the City Clerk have been working to update the rules concerning the use of parks and identified many provisions that are difficult to enforce. As an example, it is recommended to reduce the cost of an offense for drinking alcohol in the parks from $200 to $50 as it would make it easier to enforce. Other issues concerning the use of the playing fields by non-residents also need to be addressed and should be included in said by-law to allow better enforcement.
Me Iturriaga Espinoza explained that a major update of the by-law is required and she invited Council members to submit their comments at their earliest convenience. She mentioned that the intention is to submit a notice of motion at the regular Council sitting to be held on May 5, 2014. Given the heritage value of By- law 69, adopted in 1896, she proposed to modernize its content by removing obsolete sections and adding new provisions, instead of replacing it as a whole.
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL APRIL 22, 2014 PAGE 9
Mayor Trent reported that General Committee of Council should not be requested to comment on the content of documents that were not made available prior to the meeting. He proposed that Council members review the proposed amendments and submit their comments to him, as well as to Councillor Lulham, Commissioner of Parks and Environment. Mayor Trent reiterated the importance of having the background documentation distributed with the agenda.
The Chairman insisted that any items submitted without the proper documentation should be deferred to a subsequent meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:35 p.m. and reconvened at 8:32 p.m.
STANDING ITEMS
INFORMATION TO COUNCIL
Copies were distributed of the following documentation:
• Letter from Stephen Covey, President of Operation Lifesaver, to Viviana Iturriaga Espinoza, Director of Legal Services and City Clerk, dated April 4, 2014; • Questions and answers on Westmount Hydro Meters, prepared by Benoit Hurtubise, Director of Hydro Westmount.
CANADA’S PUBLIC RAIL SAFETY WEEK
The Substitute Director General J. Poirier informed General Committee of Council that a draft resolution is being requested to support the Public Rail Safety Week.
Councillor Lulham reported that the Operation Lifesaver was introduced as a partnership to raise rail safety awareness and has been endorsed by Transport Canada and the rail industry. Rail Safety Week will be held from April 28 to May 4, 2014. The objective is to reduce avoidable accidents, injuries and damages caused by collisions at level crossings. All supported the initiative.
Given the timeframe, it was agreed that Mayor Trent will be sending a letter of support to Canada’s Public – Rail Safety Week and that no resolution will be adopted this year as the Council meeting will be held after the event.
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL APRIL 22, 2014 PAGE 10
Q & A FOR HYDRO WESTMOUNT
Councillor Samiotis commented on the lack of information provided to residents concerning the installation of the Hydro Westmount meters. She requested an update on the communication plan that was agreed on and wished to see a copy of the letter that will be sent to residents. Councillor Lulham raised the issues of meter replacement for condo owners.
It was agreed to withdraw this item and present it at the next meeting of General Committee of Council.
NEW BUSINESS
CELEBRATION OF WEDDINGS FOR EMPLOYEES
Councillor Forbes reported that in 2006, Council members were offered the possibility of officiating weddings for residents only. She reported on two different employees’ request to have their wedding celebrated at Westmount City Hall. She asked if Council would agree to extend the services.
All agreed to change the policy allowing Council members to officiate weddings for City’s employees.
BEEHIVES
Councillor Lulham reported on a story published in a local newspaper about the benefit of having beehives in urban cities. She mentioned that Vancouver currently encourages other cities to follow the trend and include them in their development program. She reviewed the requirements and liabilities involved and proposed to allow the installation of one beehive nest at the Greenhouse, near the Library. The installation and first year maintenance would be provided by a group of specialists. The installation at a cost of $1,600 includes the signs and inspection for the first year, from June until November. Councillor Lulham is requesting General Committee’s approval at this time so that the money raised through the May 15 plant exchange can be used to offset the costs of this project. All agreed.
FUTURE PROVIGO
Councillor Davis asked for an update about the construction project for a Provigo food store to be built at the intersection of De Maisonneuve Blvd. and Claremont in the borough of Côte-des-Neiges - Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. Mayor Trent informed General Committee of Council that he will contact Mr. Russell Copeman, the
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL APRIL 22, 2014 PAGE 11
Borough Mayor, in order to get more information. Councillor Lulham reported on the importance to follow-up on any zoning changes in that area given that the current by-law does not allow for a large scale store.
PARKING METERS
Councillor Samiotis complained about the lack of coherence in the City’s planning regarding the parking meter’s cost increase on Greene Avenue. Despite the crumbling effect on merchants following the refurbishing of the street and the extended construction at 1250 Greene Avenue, she expressed misunderstanding about the zoning by-law requirements that seem to encourage banks and real estate agencies instead of retail businesses on Greene Avenue. She mentioned that she has been trying to help the Merchant’s Association at organizing events to attract customers. Councillor Samiotis reported on parking attendants who seems to wait by the parking meter to issue a ticket upon the expiration time. Councillors Samiotis and Cutler requested the installation of new parking meters that allow for payment through smart phones and credit cards, avoiding the necessity to carry changes. In her opinion, the increase in the hourly rates may only contribute to the merchant’s frustration since it is the first year that Greene Avenue may operate without any disruption.
A discussion ensued about the delay at installing the new parking meters and the role of Council in this matter.
COUNCIL AND QUESTION PERIOD DECORUM
Mayor Trent reported on troubling issues happening during Council meetings. He asked Councillors to refrain from chatting among themselves during the Question Periods. He also brought the issues of the ‘snow award’ incident that happened on April 8th. Therefore, he recommended to amend By-law 1336 concerning Council meeting to introduce new provisions that would prevent the public from using any form of material or pulling any stunt in the Council Chamber to attract publicity. All agreed.
⇒ Action: Notice of motion to amend By-law 1336 respecting Council meetings to be submitted at the May 5 regular meeting.
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL APRIL 22, 2014 PAGE 12
CODERED EMERGENCY SYSTEM
Councillor Cutler reported on the implementation of the CodeRED Emergency Communications Network system. The platform has been tested and so far, seems to be working very well. Designed to keep residents informed and aware of emergency situations, the system delivers information to all subscribers. He mentioned that at this time, only fixed phone lines have been registered and residents will be invited to register other phone numbers (mobile, work, etc.). Registration procedure will be posted on the City’s website.
Official announcement will be made at the May 5, 2014 Council meeting.

SUMMIT WOODS - MASTER PLAN FOR WESTMOUNT SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION The Summit Woods Master Plan is an addition to the Westmount Parks and Green Space Master Plan which was adopted by City Council on September 7, 2010.
Summit Woods had been excluded from the original Master Plan due to its special status as a forest and urban ornithological reserve. The issues of preservation and development that face those responsible for the maintenance have led to the decision to integrate it into the Master Plan.
For consistency, the Summit Woods study was conducted using the same methodology that was used in other parks and green spaces included in the master plan. Included are: 1. Summary of the history of Summit Woods. 2. Objectives and findings 3. Proposed interventions 4. Analysis and recommendations
MAIN OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Landscape and Heritage -Ensure the quality and integrity of the vegetation and the natural ecosystem
- Continue to manage the Park as a nature with minimal interventions. 1. Leave the natural vegetation evolve by itself. 2. Protect the understory vegetation and prevent enlargement of trails. 3. Check the erosion problems. 4. Ensure the safety of users.
- Produce a new overall restoration plan whose objectives will be to: • Establish a new global health check of the wooded area, including North Slope. • Highlight the woods.
- Conduct a detailed trails study addressing the problems of erosion, trampling and Overflow. Identify the set of interventions with an action plan, priorities and budgets. • Tag and uniquely identify permanent primary and secondary trails with signage. • Define a maintenance plan for primary, secondary and tertiary trails. • Identify the redundant paths to eliminate or reduce the effect of fragmentation. • Establish a map and indicate the 'official' trails and at the entrances and in the major intersections of trails. • Close the edge of the paths that have been expanded to allow the regeneration of the vegetation. • Re-naturalize degraded zones with native plants. • Accompany restoration work and developments on information panels. - Control invasive exotic plants, including by restoring tree canopy where necessary. - Highlight the visual opening on Summit Circle (North section). - Develop a forestry maintenance plan to create the visual opening and to move forward. - Highlight the entrance to the city. - Improve the appearance of the intersection Belvedere - Côte-des-Neiges and the vicinity of the entrance from the busy streets.
Organizational Character • Naturalize the section of Summit Circle closed to traffic, including the primary paths. • Close and vegetate unwanted, redundant trails in order to avoid the fragmentation of the woods and the loss of the natural character.
Physical Character Rehabilitate facilities along the highway approaches • Vegetate with native species. • Install bollards or other elements of traffic control in problem areas. • Conserve and restore the woods: see landscape and heritage.
CONCLUSION The report shows that Westmount’s Summit Woods offers an appeal and priceless value that contributes to Westmount’s rich heritage and the exceptional environment enjoyed by Westmount’s citizens. The report reflects the fragility of the ecological balance and highlights the challenges of maintenance and forest preservation in such an urban wood lot. This report allowed us to identify the need for a more precise construction based action plan to help moving forward with future reconstruction efforts while maintaining a high level of service to our residents.
PLAN DIRECTEUR POUR LES PARCS ET LES ESPACES VERTS DE WESTMOUNT ANNEXE BOIS SUMMIT – FÉVRIER 2013
1. INTRODUCTION
La présente étude du bois Summit constitue un ajout au Plan directeur pour les parcs et les espaces verts de Westmount adopté le 7 septembre 2010 par la Ville de Westmount.
Le bois Summit avait été exclu du plan directeur original en raison de son statut particulier de forêt urbaine et réserve ornithologique. Les problématiques de préservation et d’aménagement que connaissent les autorités responsables de ce boisé ont cependant conduit ultérieurement à la décision de l’intégrer au plan directeur.
Pour des fins d’uniformité, l’étude du bois Summit a été menée en utilisant la même méthodologie que celle élaborée pour les autres parcs et espaces verts inclus au plan directeur. Vous trouverez dans les pages qui suivent un résumé de l’histoire du parc Summit, les constats et objectifs, les interventions proposées ainsi que la fiche d’analyse et de recommandations selon le modèle établi dans le rapport du plan directeur.
1 PLAN DIRECTEUR POUR LES PARCS ET LES ESPACES VERTS DE WESTMOUNT ANNEXE BOIS SUMMIT – FÉVRIER 2013
2. HISTOIRE DU BOIS SUMMIT
À l’époque des Seigneurs de Montréal, le sommet de Westmount constituait la partie haute de concessions attribuées à des fermiers de Côte-St-Antoine. En 1871, la carte des Fortifications (Grande-Bretagne, 1871), nous montre que le secteur de l’actuel bois Summit était encore boisé alors que le versant sud était occupé par des champs, vergers et domaines ruraux (Murray, Notman, etc.). En effet, la topographie accentuée y limitait les activités agricoles et rendait l’accès difficile pour le développement immobilier. On peut présumer que cette zone du mont Royal n’a jamais été déboisée ; tout au plus l’a-t-on utilisé, sans doute, comme « boisé de ferme », c’est-à- dire pour effectuer des coupes sélectives pour la récolte du bois ainsi que la collecte d’autres produits forestiers utiles aux fermiers et propriétaires des environs.
À la fin du XIXe siècle, avec le développement des moyens de transport, le développement immobilier s’étend vers le haut de Westmount et commence à enserrer le sommet. C’est alors que la Royal Institution for the Advancement of Learning (l’Université McGill) acquiert les terrains du parc Summit, au profit de son département de botanique 1. L’Université prévoit également y aménager un observatoire, et l’école d’arpentage de l’Université utilisera le site de 1906 à 1928. Dans les années 1920, on y trouve des télescopes méridiens, une cantine, des cabanes et une aire de camping, concentrés dans la partie sud du site. En 1922, la Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company fonde CFCF, première station de radio commerciale en Amérique du Nord, et installe dans le bois Summit une tour radio expérimentale. Un feu endommage les installations de l’Université McGill en 1925 et en 1928, l’Université cesse toute activité sur ce site.
Après quelques années de discussions et négociations quant à l’avenir de ces terres boisées, la Ville de Westmount en fait l’acquisition de l’Université en 1940 pour une somme de 300 000 $. Une clause stipule que la Ville devra en faire un espace vert à perpétuité. À partir de ce moment, la Ville a toujours manifesté l’intention de conserver les lieux à titre de réserve ornithologique et floristique (flower and bird sanctuary) et des panneaux d’affichage sont installés pour le confirmer dès 1941.
Par la suite, malgré le maintien de cette vocation, les utilisations et les mesures de gestion ont quand même subi quelques variations avec le temps. Ainsi, un certain nombre d’introductions fauniques et végétales y ont été effectuées dans les premières années. Les rapports annuels de la Ville mentionnent l’introduction de perdrix dès 1940, et la présence de celles-ci est attestée jusqu’en 1961, alors que la Ville leur fournit régulièrement de l’eau et de la nourriture. Du point de vue de la végétation, 400 conifères (épinettes et pins rouges) sont plantés en 1941, même si aucun conifère ne fait partie de l’écosystème original ; l’intention est de procurer un abri hivernal pour les oiseaux. 800 autres arbres sont plantés en 1951, sans qu’il soit précisé s’il s’agit de feuillus ou de conifères. Pour les années suivant 1961, très peu d’information est disponible sur l’évolution et la gestion du boisé, sauf pour ce qui est du nettoyage annuel des pistes de ski en préparation de l’hiver.
1 Hesse et Mitchell (2004) mentionnent que les terrains furent achetés et donnés à l’Université par Sir William MacDonald, de la MacDonald Tobacco Company. Beaupré et Michaud, Fauteux et Valois (2010) soutiennent quant à eux que les terrains ont été vendus à l’Université par un certain Joshua Bell, d’après un acte notarié de 1895 (notaire William M. de Marler).
3 PLAN DIRECTEUR POUR LES PARCS ET LES ESPACES VERTS DE WESTMOUNT ANNEXE BOIS SUMMIT – FÉVRIER 2013
Par ailleurs, les rapports annuels mentionnent l’utilisation des lieux pour le ski de 1942 à 1961. On y fait référence au ski alpin (on y parle de ski slopes et de ski jumps), et on a même « nettoyé » 4 pentes de ski (downhill trails) sur le versant nord du sommet en 1963 ; le rapport de cette même année fait part de la préoccupation de la Ville de favoriser la pratique du ski à Westmount malgré les développements résidentiels de plus en plus nombreux. Le ski de randonnée quant à lui n’est jamais mentionné comme tel, même si on peut présumer qu’il fut aussi pratiqué. Des travaux récurrents d’amélioration, d’entretien et de préparation des pistes de ski sont mentionnés jusqu’en 1963, incluant le déplacement d’arbres, le terrassement et le débroussaillage.
Entre 1963 et 1990, les pentes de ski ont définitivement disparu et le parc est revenu à un état plus naturel. Par contre, le boisé commence à montrer des signes d’usure dus à l’utilisation intense des sentiers et en 1987, un comité de citoyens fait une présentation à la Ville concernant les problèmes d’érosion, de drainage, de piétinement de la végétation et de manque de signalisation. Un rapport forestier est produit et conclut à la bonne santé du boisé malgré les problèmes évidents de détérioration des sentiers. Ce rapport d’expert recommande aussi le changement de désignation de « Summit Park » pour « Summit Forest » ou « Summit Woods ».
Le conseil de Ville va de l’avant en 1989 en embauchant les services d’un architecte paysagiste pour restaurer le boisé conformément à sa politique de conservation. Un plan de conservation et de restauration est produit en 1990, basé sur une stratégie « d’intervention minimale », c’est-à-dire visant à limiter les interventions physiques uniquement à ce qui est nécessaire pour éliminer les risques posés aux utilisateurs, à la faune et à la flore ; il s’agit essentiellement de laisser la forêt se gérer elle-même, pour que l’écosystème évolue naturellement avec le moins d’obstruction possible. Le plan propose également de limiter les impacts des utilisateurs en établissant une hiérarchie de sentiers, et de restaurer les aires endommagées en limitant et contrôlant leur accès. Le but est que toutes les interventions paraissent le plus naturelles possible. Enfin, il propose d’éliminer une pépinière et un dépôt à neige que la Ville opérait sur ce site, et d’aménager un sentier en gravier, des bancs ainsi que des saillies le long de la portion nord de la rue Summit Circle.
Ce plan a nécessité un inventaire exhaustif du site ainsi que l’apport de multiples experts. Une consultation publique eut lieu et le plan fut réalisé sur une période de trois ans. Le programme d’entretien qui accompagne ce plan prévoit qu’aucune intervention majeure ne devrait être nécessaire avant une période de 20 ans, autre que les opérations normales d’entretien annuelles.
En 1998, une nouvelle évaluation du boisé est effectuée à la suite du Grand verglas, en ne s’attardant toutefois qu’à la partie au centre de la rue Summit, sans toucher le versant nord. Un rapport forestier conclut encore une fois à la bonne santé de la forêt, malgré la présence de certaines plantes nuisibles envahissantes, mais un léger changement à la gestion du site est nécessaire. L’accumulation de nombreux débris ligneux au sol constituant un risque d’incendie, des branches doivent être déchiquetées sur place et les copeaux étendus sur le sol, produisant un paillis forestier qui se décomposera et enrichira le sol avec le temps. Le rapport conclut dans l’ensemble que la Ville devrait poursuivre sa stratégie de conservation, et recommande certaines interventions visant à maintenir le plus possible le caractère naturel du site.
En 2005, le mont Royal est déclaré Arrondissement historique et naturel par le gouvernement du Québec. Le bois Summit, qui en fait partie, fait l’objet de certaines pressions pour une plus grande
4 PLAN DIRECTEUR POUR LES PARCS ET LES ESPACES VERTS DE WESTMOUNT ANNEXE BOIS SUMMIT – FÉVRIER 2013
ouverture à la communauté montréalaise, les usagers sont de plus en plus nombreux, incluant ceux venant de l’extérieur de Westmount, et des conflits plus marqués surviennent entre les différents types d’utilisateurs. Toutefois, les objectifs de conservation d’une forêt naturelle entrent en contradiction avec une fréquentation plus grande et la Ville doit arbitrer ces conflits en maintenant sa politique de conservation. Par exemple, le bois est très fréquenté par les observateurs d’oiseaux ainsi que par les propriétaires de chiens, deux groupes d’utilisateurs dont les intérêts sont souvent conflictuels. En effet, le parc est officiellement désigné comme parc canin, et il constitue un des meilleurs sites ornithologiques à Montréal. Ainsi, une réglementation stricte est mise en place pour édicter les périodes où les chiens doivent être tenus en laisse, notamment pendant la période de migration des oiseaux au printemps. Même si la Ville se heurte à certaines difficultés dans l’application du règlement en raison de la nature des lieux, celui-ci facilite la cohabitation parfois problématique entre ces deux groupes.
Aujourd’hui, on peut estimer que les auteurs du plan de restauration de 1990 avaient vu juste : le terme de 20 ans de ce plan arrive à sa fin et de nouveaux signes importants d’usure des sentiers et des entrées du parc sont apparents. Depuis 2008, des pressions de citoyens et organismes sont de nouveau exercées pour sensibiliser la Ville à cette situation, et un groupe appelé Friends of Summit Woods a été créé en 2010. La même année, le Summit Woods Advisory Committee (SWAC) a été formé à la demande de la Ville afin de la conseiller dans les actions futures à prendre pour l’avenir du Bois Summit. Ce comité a déposé à la Ville un rapport le 21 janvier 2011 contenant ses recommandations pour la préservation du boisé.
3. CONSTATS ET OBJECTIFS
Le bois Summit, qui occupe un des trois sommets du mont Royal, représente un échantillon bien préservé de la forêt de la montagne. Aujourd’hui, la Ville est encore une fois confrontée au défi de conserver un attrait naturel unique en milieu urbain, défi qu’elle a su relever jusqu’à maintenant en assurant, avec l’aide et la vigilance des citoyens de Westmount et malgré les énormes pressions d’utilisation qui s’exercent sur le site, la présence d’une forêt remarquable et en santé.
Le site est très utilisé pour des activités de plein-air et sa capacité de support limitée semble sur le point d’être dépassée, comme en font foi les signes de détérioration mentionnés. La multiplication des sentiers créés par les utilisateurs tend à compromettre son intégrité écologique et son ambiance de petite forêt, surtout dans la partie centrale à l’intérieur de la rue Summit Circle.
La faible capacité de support du site est liée à la volonté de la Ville de conserver cette forêt dans un état le plus naturel possible. La capacité de support d’un site peut être augmentée par des aménagements appropriés qui limitent les dommages sur le milieu, mais qui en retour diminuent son caractère et son aspect « naturels ». Il s’agit alors d’une question d’équilibre à atteindre entre l’accès libre du public et la conservation du caractère « intact » d’un milieu naturel.
La détérioration observée du milieu naturel, spécialement aux entrées et le long des sentiers, en plus des impacts strictement écologiques, nuit à l’image du parc, ce qui en retour n’incite pas les utilisateurs à en prendre un soin spécial. Une approche globale et intégrée de conservation et
5 PLAN DIRECTEUR POUR LES PARCS ET LES ESPACES VERTS DE WESTMOUNT ANNEXE BOIS SUMMIT – FÉVRIER 2013
d’aménagement s’impose. Ainsi, un prochain plan de restauration devrait non seulement comprendre des mesures de réhabilitation des zones et sentiers dégradés mais proposer une vision globale de mise en valeur qui inclura les aménagements et les activités de communication et de sensibilisation nécessaires à la conservation et au positionnement de l’image du site comme réserve naturelle dans l’esprit de la population. Cette vision de mise en valeur devra à être à la hauteur du statut unique et particulier de ce site dans la Ville de Westmount.
À la suite de ces constats, les objectifs généraux qui devraient être poursuivis sont les suivants :
. Conserver la vocation actuelle de réserve naturelle et ornithologique, dans une perspective de protection du patrimoine écologique de Westmount et du mont Royal et de façon à pouvoir continuer à offrir une expérience de milieu naturel unique en milieu urbain pour les citoyens de Westmount et d’ailleurs ; . Rechercher l’équilibre entre les objectifs de conservation et d’accessibilité afin de respecter la capacité de support du milieu naturel, dans l’objectif de le maintenir le plus intact qu’il est possible de le faire considérant la fréquentation élevée du site et son insertion en milieu urbain et de limiter ses transformations, et effectuer les activités de régulation en conséquence ; . Produire un nouveau plan de restauration du boisé, incluant le versant nord, visant à établir un nouveau bilan de santé global et à établir un plan d’action ; . Mettre en valeur le parc sur la base d’un zonage thématique établi en fonction des caractéristiques écologiques des différentes zones, de leur fragilité et de leur potentiel faunique et récréatif. . Gérer et mettre en valeur les deux parties du boisé (le sommet et le versant nord) comme un seul ensemble, de façon à augmenter son potentiel écologique ; . Effectuer un branding du bois Summit dans une perspective d’éducation et de sensibilisation du public à sa biodiversité, à sa fragilité et à la stratégie de gestion pratiquée par la Ville. Ce branding devrait se traduire tant sur le plan des communications que de l’aménagement, de façon à ce que le statut de réserve naturelle soit rehaussé, bien clair et mis en évidence avec l’image appropriée. Ainsi, le plan de restauration devrait inclure un plan de communication et un plan d’aménagement, d’affichage et de signalisation, le tout concourant aux objectifs de conservation, de sensibilisation et de rehaussement de l’image de ce riche patrimoine.
Les recommandations détaillées d’aménagement apparaissent dans la fiche détaillée en annexe.

Comme son nom l’indique, le bois Summit est le point le plus haut de la ville et le troisième sommet du Morphologie mont Royal. Il s’agit d’un boisé naturel qui a conservé sa topographie d’origine, et traversé par des voies de circulation locales. Sa forme a été délimitée par la topographie et par les limites de la Ville. La partie principale du bois, au centre de Summit Circle, se définit par des pentes plutôt faibles mais comporte des dénivellations plus fortes sur son périmètre. Les versants nord et nord-est possèdent, quant à eux, des pentes abruptes qui conduisent vers les limites de la ville.

Sommaire
Plan directeur pour les parcs et les espaces verts de Westmount Bois Summit ARCHITECTES PAYSAGISTES février 2013 Page de 8 FAUTEUX ET ASSOCIÉS 2 Description du parc / Forêt urbaine qui occupe une grande partie du territoire au nord de la ville, elle possède un couvert forestier en excel- lente condition. Sa localisation particulière, située au sommet de la ville dans un contexte résidentiel peu dense, sans entités : accessibilité par transport en commun et desservie par un seul stationnement d’environ 10 places, est probablement un facteur qui a permis de préserver sa condition. En raison de son statut de réserve naturelle et ornithologique, on y pratique des activités de plein air douces (randonnée) ainsi que l’ornithologie. Le bois fait l’objet d’une gestion visant à conserver l’écosystème dans des conditions les plus naturelles possible. Dans sa morphologie, le bois Summit est traversé par le chemin Belvedere et par la rue Summit Circle. Cette dernière découpe les deux entités qui composent le bois. Ces dernières se définissent principalement en fonction de la topographie et de l’appropriation de l’espace.
Entité 1 : Le sommet Circonscrite par Summit Circle, cette entité est caractérisée par sa topographie peu accidentée et par son réseau de sentiers principaux et secondaires, qui en fait le secteur le plus fréquenté par les prome- neurs. L’entité est victime de cette fréquentation élevée car des zones de piétinement causées par un débordement des sentiers par les promeneurs et les chiens sont identifiables, ainsi que des problèmes d’érosion. Un réseau étendu de sentiers secondaires sillonne ce secteur. La moitié nord de cette entité est occupée par une forêt âgée peu perturbée, comprenant des arbres de dimensions remarquables (chênaie). La partie sud de cette entité est celle historiquement utilisée par l’Université McGill.
Entité 2 : Le versant L’entité, comprise entre Summit Circle au sud et le quartier Côte-des-Neiges au nord, est fortement escarpée. Son réseau de sentiers majoritairement tertiaires nous amène à croire qu’elle est moins fréquentée que l’entité précédente. Le tracé sinueux du chemin Belvédère, en plein coeur du bois, re- flète les caractéristiques physiques du versant nord du bois Summit en plus de posséder un caractère paysager unique à Westmount. On trouve quelques entrées au parc le long de la limite nord, dont une donnant sur un sentier principal menant directement à la zone du sommet. L’accès le long de la limite nord-ouest, du côté du chemin de la Côte-des-Neiges, est fortement limité par la topographie très escarpée. Cette zone est utilisée par les vélos de montagne. La partie ouest de l’entité est occupée par une chênaie, qui est la prolongation de la chênaie de l’entité 1. Un ancien dépôt à neige, le long de Summit Circle, est occupé par une friche arborescente.

De plus, le parc offre des vues panoramiques sur la ville, sur les versants sud et nord. Enfin, le paysagères chemin Belvedere possède un caractère paysager unique. Il permet d’accéder au sommet à partir de Côte-des-Neiges en traversant littéralement le bois, et la sinuosité du tracé de même que les parois rocheuses qui le jalonnent offrent un cheminement aux vues variées, soulignant de façon spectaculaire l’entrée à Westmount.
Valeurs Le Bois est composé de peuplements naturels matures de grande valeur et peu perturbés, représentant un vestige remarquable de la forêt du mont Royal. Il est représentatif du couvert forestier qui a existé jadis sur l’ensemble de la patrimoniales montagne. Cette forêt, ainsi que la topographie accidentée et les parois rocheuses contribuent dans une très large mesure à perpétuer les caractéristiques paysagères identitaires de Westmount.

Définition du projet Titre du projet : Développement de collections Description du projet : Premièrement, nous aimerions poursuivre le développement de nos collections existantes afin de continuer à offrir à notre fidèle clientèle un choix qui répond adéquatement à leurs besoins culturels, récréatifs et informationnels. Ceci aidera à maintenir la bonne relation que nous entretenons déjà avec nos utilisateurs. Il est à noter que nos collections sont développées autant en français qu'en anglais vu les données démographiques de la population de la ville de Westmount. Deuxièmement, étant donné la population vieillissante de notre communauté, nous aimerions developer une collection pour les aidants naturels. Ces derniers se retrouvent devant un défi de taille avec peu de ressources pour l'instant. Nous cherchons à les informer sur les ressources existantes dans le quartier qui faciliterait leur lourde tâche. Nous aimerions aussi les diriger vers des documentaires pouvant les informer sur le rôle de l'aidant naturel et sur les enjeux du vieilissement. Mais nous aimerions aussi les diriger vers des lectures divertissantes afin de leur offrir un répit bien mérité. Nous regarderons également à bonifier notre section de livres à gros caractères.

Retombées du projet Résultats prévus et retombées escomptées Dans le secteur d'intervention visé : Fidéliser notre clientèle en poursuivant le développement de nos collections existantes et répondre à un besoin grandissant qui est celui des aidants naturels vivants auprès de personnes vieillissantes. Plus de 1,000 personnes provenant de différents milieux et ayant tous des besoins particuliers choisissent franchir les portes de la bibliothèque de Westmount et celà au quotidien. Parmi ceux-ci, il y a un nombre grandissant de personnes âgées devenues par la force des choses des aidants naturels et qui se tournent vers leur bibliothèque de quartier afin d'y trouver une collection particulière pour leur venir en aide. Nous espérons en répondant à ce nouveau besoin d'aider ces aidants naturels à mieux gérer leur situation et celle de la personne dont ils sont répondants. Sur le territoire visé : La communauté de Westmount est très fière de sa bibliothèque, de ces services, de ces collections et la façon innovante de les présenter. Elle est d'ailleurs, selon un recent sondage le service de la ville le plus apprécié par ses citoyens. Nous travaillons très fort pour maintenir cette réputation en conservant une excellente relation avec nos usagers. Nous visons toujours à répondre le plus fidèlement possible à leur besoin en lecture et en information et c'est ce que nous tenterons encore de faire cette année avec le développement d'une collection pour aidants naturels. Notre bibliothèque suit indéniablement cette tendance du troisième lieu. Ce lieu dédié à la vie sociale de la communauté ou les individus peuvent se rencontrer , se réunir et échanger de façon informelle. Ceci favorise la raison sociale de la bibliothèque et a des retombées positives sur toute la communauté.
