BACKGROUND
At the 27 August 2007 meeting of the Corporate
Services and Economic Development Committee, Councillor Wilkinson introduced
the following as a Notice of Motion for consideration at the Committee’s 4
September 2007 meeting:
WHEREAS prior to 1997, Provincial

for health care capital;
AND WHEREAS in 1997, the Provincial
government abolished development charges for health care capital;
AND WHEREAS at the time of cessation of
such development charges, the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton had
collected and held in reserve approximately $30 million in health care capital;
AND WHEREAS since 1997, the RMOC, and
after amalgamation of the region’s municipalities, the City of Ottawa, awarded
grants from the said development charge health capital reserve to various
health care capital projects such as Hillel Lodge, Villa Marconi, The Glebe
Centre, the Salvation Army Grace Manor, and others;
AND WHEREAS the sum of $64,000 has
remained dormant in the said capital reserve account for several years and the
account has not been formally closed out;
AND WHEREAS the Royal Ottawa Health
Care Group is in need of completing its funding requirement for the completion
of construction at its Youth Mental Health Treatment Centre;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the CSEDC
