SUBJECT:

Title

End

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation
That Council gives first, second and third readings to the Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw, 2014, No. 2839, Amendment Bylaw [No. 7], 2018, No. 2944.
Body

RELEVANT POLICY:

Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw, 2014, No. 2839, as amended
Zoning Bylaw, 1992, No. 2050, as amended

Operational Strategy - Review Township policies and bylaws to ensure efficient processes; amend and update as necessary

As a result of enforcement action taken by staff over the summer months, it was noted that Section 63, Marine Navigation [M-4], was not included in the charge sections of "Schedule D" of the Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw. Additionally, with changes coming to the Zoning Bylaw to better define allowable moorage in Section 63, it became necessary to update the schedule to allow for enforcement by way of Bylaw Notice.

2. Organizational Implications

3. Financial Implications

The revised bylaw and schedule will be posted on the website if approved by Council.

ALTERNATIVES:
