2. Advisory Committee All Committee Gathering
Theron provided and reviewed a draft agenda for the Advisory Committee Gathering. Diana offered
?
facilitate updates from each of the committees. The group agreed to the agenda as discussed. The
agenda will be provided to attendees on the morning of the gathering.
3. LEAF Community Consultation
Theron updated the committee regarding a potential opportunity for Compass Kitchener to facilitate a
?
community consultation on the LEAF Fund. Compass Kitchener was requested to participate as they can
act as a neutral body to connect with the public and determine how best these funds may be used.
The consultation will consist of an all committee meeting which will include the LEAF steering committee,
?
a general public meeting as well as an online survey.
Generally speaking, 4 options would be presented: status quo, purchase of lands in hidden valley, staff
?
recommendation to support the Parks and Trails Master Plan, and other.
The proposal going forward to council in March will outline the process, and schedule the final report to
?
come back to Council in September.
Theron provided background on the LEAF fund for any committee members not familiar with the fund and
?
the subsequent work. A background document will be provided for the community engagement process.
This background document should also include other environmental projects the city participates with.
The group debated the uses of the LEAF fund, past projects funded, and how to best to consult the
?
community.
Any committee member who would like to provide input into how the LEAF funds are used moving
?
forward should not volunteer for the engagement process working group.
The committee agreed to move forward with the report and the community engagement process
?
identified. Anyone interested in participating on the sub committee, please contact Theron. Suggestion to
meet with Jeff Willmer and Pauline Houston for an update once sub committee has been decided.
On a separate note, Kim advised the committee that the April meeting, the Report Card Working group
?
would like to do a review of the information gathered, and begin the marking process. This is fairly
lengthy, and there will likely be additional work to do between April and May meeting.
4. Work Plan small group discussion and report back
