TOWNSHIP OF ESQUIMALT MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: September 9, 2024 Report No. ADM-24-055
TO: Council
FROM: Deb Hopkins, Director of Corporate Services
SUBJECT: Proposed Amendments to Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw
INFORMATION:
In May 2024 Council adopted amendments to the Maintenance of Property and Nuisance Regulation Bylaw, 2014, No. 2826 to restrict permitted hours for construction activities within the Township of Esquimalt.
These amendments also required a change to Schedule M of the Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw, 2014, No. 2839 to incorporate penalties for contraventions to the hours for permitted construction activities and to renumber the associated bylaw section numbers as a result of the amendments introduced in Spring. Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw, 2014, No. 2839, Amendment Bylaw, 2024, No. 3146 (Attachment 1) proposes to replace Schedule M to resolve the discrepancies between the two bylaws.

That Council give first reading to Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw, 2014, No. 2839, Amendment Bylaw, 2024, No. 3146.
That Council give second reading to Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw, 2014, No. 2839, Amendment Bylaw, 2024, No. 3146.
That Council give third reading to Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw, 2014, No. 2839, Amendment Bylaw, 2024, No. 3146.
Alternatively, if Council does not wish to make any further amendments to proposed Bylaw No. 3146, Council could give three readings with the following motion:
