By Law Crawl Update

I asked Matt to provide The Hamiltonian with an update as to how the presentation went to the City's Economic Development and Planning committee. Here is his summary, along with a reminder (to the left), of the date and theme for the next outing. 

Brian McHattie made a motion to set up a meeting with Marty Hazell and staff to take my suggestions into consideration and start working on them, see what's possible.

My suggestions were: a) to set up a group of students (similar to what the city has done in property maintenance) to regularly check up on the exteriors of vacant buildings and report findings to by-law staff b) to order a review of the complaints process to ensure that complaints are received and the person who makes the complaint is responded to, and c) that the Vacant Building Protocol be revised to require inspections of vacant buildings on a monthly basis as opposed to every three months.
