BACKGROUND:

There are no significant organizational implications.
3. Financial Implications
There are no significant financial implications
4. Sustainability & Environmental Implications
There are no sustainability or environmental implications
5. Communication & Engagement
The revised bylaw and new schedule will be posted on the website should the bylaw amendment be approved by Council.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. That Council gives first, second and third readings to Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw, 2014, No. 2839, Amendment Bylaw [No. 9], 2020, No. 2996.
2. That Council directs any amendments it considers appropriate to Bylaw No. 2996 prior to giving it first, second and third readings as amended.
3. That Council refers Bylaw No. 2996 back to staff to further revision.
