MOTION NO. 37/4

Moved by Councillor D. Eastman

Seconded by Councillor E. Arnold

WHEREAS the 2003 Budget Directions report indicates that the City is facing “total pressures” on its 2003 Operating Budget of $75.8 million and that these pressures, if not addressed, exceed the capacity created by assessment base growth and the amalgamation savings;

WHEREAS that same report indicates that increased revenues, amalgamation and efficiency savings, and assessment growth combined has the potential to offset these “total pressures” by an amount estimated at approximately $44.8 million;

WHEREAS, after applying these revenue and savings offsets to the “total pressures”, the 2003 Operating Budget is still projected to have a $31 million shortfall;

WHEREAS the 2003 Budget Directions report also identified a potential $360 million capital funding gap over the five year period ending in 2006, and that the City’s capital needs exceed the funding that is currently available by about $100 million per year;

WHEREAS the City, since it came into being on 1 Jan 2001, has absorbed increased costs of a variety of goods and services it purchases (e.g., vehicles, fuel, etc.) as well as the cost of improving certain services (e.g., ambulance);

WHEREAS the City cannot continue to absorb these increased costs and service improvements in addition to ensuring its amalgamation savings targets are met without jeopardizing its financial well being;

WHEREAS the Consumer Price Index change for Ottawa is forecast to increase 1.5% for 2002 which, if factored into the City’s 2002 tax rate, would result in approximately $12 million in additional revenue and a reduction in the projected shortfall to $19 million which will have to be found through seeking out new revenue opportunities, deferring capital projects or further cost savings, etc.;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, in evaluating possible solutions to address the projected $31 million shortfall in the 2003 Budget, that the Corporate Services Department develop a scenario for Committee and Council consideration that will include, as one potential option, an increase of 1.5% in the City’s 2002 tax rate.

MOTION NO. 37/5

Moved by Councillor D. Deans

Emergency and Protective Services Committee Report 23

1. Ottawa Fire Service Delivery Model

Committee Recommendations as Amended

That Council approve the following:

WHEREAS the proposed closing of the Knoxdale and Blair Road Fire Stations has raised tremendous concern in the affected communities and that these concerns have not been relieved by the Fire Service’s Public Information Sessions;

AND WHEREAS these concerns include but are not limited to the questionable measurement of station response times, the large parts of each area that will receive a decreased response time from their new station, the lack of a unified dispatch system for the new Ottawa’s fire service, the lack of a single staffing standard for the professional fire departments of the old municipalities leading to old Ottawa stations regularly being under-staffed with trucks out of service and the use of the Woodroffe station as a HazMat vehicle centre meaning the station staff is frequently away on calls elsewhere in the City or outside the boundaries of Ottawa;

AND WHEREAS unlike the Police and Ambulance Services whose service levels and budgets increased as a result of amalgamation the Fire Service is being asked to reduce its service;

AND WHEREAS this reduction represented in the closing of two stations will have a ripple effect across the city as fewer stations are available to provide back up for each other;

AND WHEREAS the closing of fire stations is contrary to the Mayor’s and others’ election promises of amalgamation bringing tax cuts without service cuts;

AND WHEREAS the proposed closings are not simply a service cut but represent the cut of a very essential service;

AND WHEREAS the $2.4 Million Fire Service cut proposed by the Transition Board was based on a very preliminary study and not recommended by the TriData Report;

AND WHEREAS the TriData Report recommended the Knoxdale and Blair Road stations not be closed;

AND WHEREAS keeping the Blair Road and Knoxdale Stations open with reduced complements will save $1.2 Million;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT The Ottawa Fire Service – Fire Service Delivery Model recommendations be amended as follows.

Ottawa Fire Services Deployment Model

ii) Nepean Fire Station 4 (Knoxdale) not be closed and be staffed by one pumper and 20 fire fighters (four fire fighters per shift);

iii. Opening of a new south urban fire station in the vicinity of Armstrong and Limebank;

iv) WHEREAS the proposed fire deployment model implements the increased level of fire service for Kanata anticipated by (the former) City of Kanata Council in its long-range plan for fire service;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that prior to Council consideration of this item, staff be directed to bring back a plan that, within these enhanced service levels for Kanata, maintains staffing of two career fire fighters at the Riddell Station as well as the expansion of the volunteer program in Kanata

v. A Fire Deployment Model comprised of 9 districts encompassing 43 stations to support the service delivery model; and,

vi. An implementation date of November 2002.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Centrepointe, City View and other areas in Nepean north of the CN rail line currently receiving primary response from the Knoxdale Station be transferred to the primary response area for Ottawa Station #11;
