The ~~attached~~ presentation from Courtney Vaughn and Sydney Bergeron, Transit/Environment, King's University College, expressing concern with budget cuts in the area of transportation as they have a direct impact on the livability of the community; suggesting a need for a better and smarter cycling infrastructure as there would be associated environmental and fiscal benefits to the community, as has been proven within various communities, such as Portland, Oregon; noting the Thames Valley Parkway Trail System is good, but still requires improvement; and noting that a safer cycling culture and infrastructure would improve air quality, traffic congestion and the health and safety of cyclists.

A verbal delegation from Daniel Hammond and Kayla LeBlanc, Social Housing, King's University College, providing statistical data with respect to affordable housing; stressing the importance of investing in a housing strategy now; citing statistics from the City of Toronto which support the benefits of housing people rather than having them end up in the Court system; emphasizing the need for a healthy and reliable reserve fund to support affordable housing and the need to maintain the City’s ongoing investment in affordable housing, including contributions to the reserve fund.

j)	A verbal delegation from Joe Hoffer, London Property Management Association, speaking against the proposed residential licensing fee increases; suggesting the licensing program is dysfunctional and that the associated numbers should be reviewed; and providing the ~~attached~~ data in that regard.

A verbal delegation from Graham McGeorge, London, Ontario, emphasizing the need to “pay the rent” and social costs will escalate if we can’t pay the rent; asking that Ontario Works recipients not be victimized by impeding their ability to pay the rent as if they are able to continue to pay the rent they will continue their other spending to stimulate the economy; noting that Electromotive Diesel left the City as they couldn’t meet the wage and benefits demands, and relocated where they were able to hire workers for half the cost; indicating that rather than having this situation occur again, if workers can only expect to be paid half of what they were paid, that adjustment should be made for everyone across the City.

A verbal delegation from Michael Wickett, London, Ontario, indicating he bikes 2 to 4 times per week and is able to make do with just one vehicle for his family; noting that cycling is healthy and environmentally friendly, but there are holes in the bikeway system and fixing these holes is important for safety and to promote usage; and stating that the present situation is unsafe so Business Case 32 should not be endorsed.

A verbal delegation from Muriel Abbott, Public Health Nurse, stating that citizens’ strengths and assets need to be capitalized upon; noting that health is determined by neighbourhood (e.g. income, employment, early childhood development, etc.); noting that implementation of the Neighbourhood Hub Initiative would support the Municipal Council’s Strategic Plan and speaking in general support of neighbourhood hubs.

A verbal delegation from Erica Zarins, Public Health Nurse, speaking to Business Cases 46 and 48 related to the Library; noting that the Library is one of the most important partnerships with the Middlesex-London Health Unit in assisting people with accessing important health information; also noting that the Library provides an opportunity for connectivity for seniors and for the vulnerable population.

A verbal delegation from Dr. Maria vanHarten, Dental Consultant, indicating she moved from Brampton to London as she heard London was a great place to live; stating everyone wants affordable opportunities to get active and the public is expecting more discussion on the repurposing of arenas; suggesting that if some facilities are closed it will mean that more and more after school activities will only be available for those that can afford them, which would threaten London’s image as being good for ALL families and the City’s ability to achieve the goals within its Strategic Plan.

The ~~attached~~ presentation from Janette MacDonald, Executive Director, Downtown London, noting the distinction between the Downtown Business Association and MainStreet; indicating that information will be provided as to the amount of money that has been leveraged from the City’s investment, which will demonstrate that the City’s continued investment remains valid; and advising they will not be seeking more than the 2013 Budget amount that is being recommended by the Strategic Priorities and Policy Committee.

A verbal delegation from Wendy Pinkerton-Knelsen, London & District Injured Workers Group, indicating that responsibility for injured workers is being downloaded to municipalities; noting that WSIB has become a Board of denial, leaving workers out of income, shelter, health care, etc.; suggesting that injured workers no longer supported by WSIB (thousands in one year) will fall into Ontario Works, which places a burden on municipalities; indicating that there is fear of reprisal for injured workers and that the associated human suffering in incalculable.

aj)	A verbal delegation from Jeremy Burns indicating the importance of maintaining reserve funds as there could be a budget bomb down the road if they are not maintained.
