  • Create a Parking Advisory Ad-Hoc Committee to review on street parking standards in the City, including provisions for new developments, current practices and potential modernization, and report back to the Community Safety Committee by the end of Q2 in 2026, with the following composition

    • Thomson

    • Riepma

    • 3 citizen members

    • 1-2 representatives from the Development Community


🚤🛥️ Licensing of Watersports

  • Proposal by Hamilton: https://barrie.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=13667160&GUID=CAA27031-07D1-4D29-AF32-09CCDCC6AA9F

  • Rescind the previous Council's decision to not allow operators to provide motorized activities on Barrie's waterfront

  • Direct staff to prepare a licensing protocol for the licensing of businesses operating motorized activities along the waterfront, including a limit on the vehicles permitted, fees and safety measures for their operation, and report back to General Committee

  • The previous Council prevented motorized activities along the waterfront in order to preserve the natural environment, as well as public safety. Considering all the discussion at Council about the Sea Cadets' safety when learning in Kempenfelt Bay, it seems quite contradictory to now introduce motorized watersports on the Bay
