All agenda items from the 3 City Committee meetings Monday May 8th will be before full Council on May 29. The agendas for the 2 Committee meetings this Monday May 15 (Community & Operations) at 9:30 a.m. is here https://pub-oshawa.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx... and (Safety & Facilities) at 1:30 p.m. is here https://pub-oshawa.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx...
MEANWHILE PLEASE NOTE there is an important and possibly polarizing new by-law change coming to a SPECIAL COMMITTEE MEETING NEXT THURSDAY, MAY 18th at 1:30 PM. Imo it is one that many Oshawans hopefully will take the time to review and give feedback.
It concerns proposed new policy Options for the RESIDENTIAL RENTAL HOUSING LICENSING PROGRAM and Other Rental Housing Regulatory Considerations. The options are whether to expand the current residential rental licensing program from just the area around the COLLEGE UNIVERSTIY to CITYWIDE. See map of current area below.
Originally Oshawa's residential licensing program set up in 2008 around the College/University was modelled after the City of London's program which is City Wide.
I see Pros and Cons on both sides. At this point I am undecided. and would appreciate if, after reading the description of the 4 proposed options and what an expansion will entail, how it will be enforced and the costs, hopefully Oshawans interested will share their opinions. Email me at RMcconkey@oshawa.ca or call 905-436-5615
