Such is the scope of his review for Council, that the report has already been provided to the City's website, part of the Agenda review for this evening's session. ( You can review it here )
When Mr. Krekic settles into his seat for the audio-visual aspect of his review, Council will receive further background into his findings on the Housing Continuum: including a look at the range of housing options in the city from Home Ownership, to rentals, Emergency shelter and Social Housing.
Council members will already be familiar with the discussion topics having been part of the Community engagement session of September 10th. That gathering saw Council members and a mix of interested community members discuss a wide range of housing and social issues, with participation from those with experience in property development, Housing policies, Real Estate and Social Housing advocates all providing input.
Their findings make for interesting reading from the report part of the Appendix C findings.
Mr. Krekic's presentation of tonight carries on his theme of review from the last six months or so, which has featured an examination of many of the challenges ahead for the city, should the increase in economic development for the City that has been projected become a reality.
As part of his report, Council will be asked to approve the three components of his review, related to Data, City Land Use Policies and regulations (including the creation of a Housing Commission for the City) and an Update for the 2005 - 10 year Capital Improvement Program.
More on those considerations can be found from the Council Agenda on page 25
