Business Arising from Minutes
 

Director Sutherland provided a verbal update on the Special Council Meeting - December 1, 2020, for the 2021 Capital Budget. Points relevant to the Community Pandemic Recovery Task Force, Council had previously identified a surplus just under $3 million from 2019 for potential allocations to assist with Pandemic related expenses or initiatives. A resolution was passed that the surplus would be maintained in the City's contingency reserve for the purpose of funding Community Economic and Corporate Pandemic Recovery initiatives. Further discussion on the 2021 Capital Budget, portions of the reserve were used for various initiatives. The three main highlighted here are, $80K be allocated to supplement the 50/50 Community Program, with the recommendation from the Task Force to waive the 50% contribution. With the addition of the $80K, applicants could apply for their full project costs and if successful they would not have to make their own 50% contribution. Allocated from the same reserve $1.9 million to the Colborne Street, Fenelon Falls capital project, linked to the Economic Recovery Task Force and two boat launches were allocated funds from the same reserve.

Task Force Council Members will not be changed, the current appointments will remain as they are.
