CSD-13-020
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO COUNCIL POLICY I-445, HOT AIR
BALLOONS ON CITY PROPERTY
RECOMMENDATION:
That Section 2 of Council Policy I-445 (Hot Air Balloons - On City Property) be amended to indicate
that the required letter of permission be provided by the Director of Operations or designate,
rather than the General Manager of Community Services or designate, as outlined in Community
Services Department report CSD-13-020.
BACKGROUND:
In May 2000, Council approved the attached policy to allow for the launching of hot air balloons
from City property. The policy outlines that permission must be obtained from the General
Manager of Community Services who was responsible for the oversight of the City’s parks and
open spaces.
REPORT:
As a result of departmental restructuring, the responsibility for parks and open spaces now falls
under the Operations Division of the Infrastructure Services Department. Therefore, the signing
authority for hot air balloon launching should be amended from the General Manager of
Community Services to the Director of Operations.
ALIGNMENT WITH CITY OF KITCHENER STRATEGIC PLAN:
Not applicable.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Not applicable.

Michael May, Deputy CAO, Community Services
