Weylie who was absent on City-related business. On motion by Alderman T. Galloway, the minutes of the regular meeting held on January 11, 1993, as mailed to the Mayor and Aldermen, were accepted. A. Communication referred directly to file (1) Letter from Revenue Canada Customs & Excise, responding to Council's recent concern relative to the importation and sale of "Serial Killer Cards". Alderman C. Zehr welcomed members of the 31st Kitchener Scout Group of St. Luke's Church and their leaders who were in attendance this date. Mr. Mark Tutton was in attendance on behalf of Monarch Construction Limited (2025 Sheppard Avenue East, Willowdale), regarding clause 1 of the Planning and Economic Development Committee report of this date dealing with a proposed expansion of the western boundary of ESPA No.35. Moved by Alderman J. Ziegler Seconded by Alderman T. Galloway That clause 1 of the Planning and Economic Development Committee report of this date be adopted. Carried. Mr. Michael Sanderson, Proctor & Redfern Limited, requested that the by-law relative to Zone Change Application 88/15AN/JG (769341 Ontario Limited) be given three readings this date. Mr. R.W. Pritchard acknowledged that all conditions of approval have been met. Moved by Alderman M. Yantzi Seconded by Alderman G. Leadston That the by-law relative to Zone Change Application 88/15AN/JG (769341 Ontario Limited - West Avenue and Victoria Street South) be given three readings this date. Carried. Mayor D.V. Cardillo stated that he was flattered by the efforts of some individuals to have the Square at the new City Hall named after him, but advised that he neither seeks the honour nor supports this initiative. He suggested that the name of the Square should reflect the community as a whole and not individual citizens, and indicated his support for the name "Civic Square". Mayor D.V. Cardillo left the chair at this time and it was assumed by Alderman T. Galloway. Mr. Murray McLaughlin appeared in opposition to clause 2 of the City Hall Steering Committee report of this date which recommends that the City Hall Square be named "Civic Square". He expressed the opinion that the names Heritage Square, Berlin Square and Civic Square were all inappropriate, and suggested the name Cardillo Square, pointing out that this is a Latin derivative meaning first and foremost. Mr. McLaughlin also noted that an appropriate name is needed to attract tourism. Following Mr. McLaughlin's presentation, Mayor D.V. Cardillo reoccupied the chair. Mr. Warren Stauch, 244 Simeon Street, appeared and suggested the name "Schmalz Platz". Mr. Stauch pointed out that Mr. W. Schmalz was the City's Mayor in 1911 and 1912 and proclaimed Cityhood for the then named City of Berlin. He added that Mr. Schmalz had served the community in various capacities and was a member on numerous boards and committees. In addition, he designed the City's "Coat-of- Arms" and was known for his musical and artist talents. Mr. Stauch advised that he was also inducted into the Hall of Fame at the Doon Heritage Crossroads in 1975. COUNCIL M/NIYFES - 21 - JANUARY 25, 1993 Mr. Stauch advised that his second reason for suggesting the name "Schmalz Platz" relates to W.H.E. Schmalz, the former Mayor's son, an Architect whose projects included the former City Hall, the Economical Mutual Building, the Rockway Golf Club and Wilfrid Laurier University. He cited Mr. Schmalz's community service and pointed out that he was likewise inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1977. Alderman M. Yantzi expressed concern over the naming of the Square after an individual, a method which recognizes one person but not others who had made comparable contributions. Mr. Stauch suggested that if the Square was not named after Messrs. Schmalz, they should be recognized in conjunction with some other portion of the City Hall, possibly the Committee Rooms. Moved by Alderman C. Zehr Seconded by Alderman M. Wagner That clause 2 of the City Hall Steering Committee report of this date be adopted. Alderman M. Wagner spoke in his capacity as Chairman of the Arts Working Group and indicated his support for the name Civic Square. He referred to media treatment of the process, pointing out that it was not intended as a popularity contest nor was either naming or not naming the Square "Berlin Square" an issue. He stated that the group wanted to name the Square in relation to other site features which also require names. He referred to the three physical components of the City Hall structure and the proposal by the Group that each of the three be identified using the former City names. Alderman M. Wagner noted not a single person on the Arts Working Group recommended that the name Berlin Square be placed on a short list. He also noted that Kitchener is no longer a German city, but is a multi-ethnic one and consequently, the Square should not be named after a single nationality or ethnic background. He offered the opinion that the Group had a number of good names to consider which reflected the purpose and the intended use of the Square. Alderman Wagner acknowledged that although the City Hall is designed to anticipate the future, provision should be made to honour and acknowledge the past, and this can be done through the naming of other building features. In closing, Alderman Wagner voiced his support for the name Civic Square. Ms. Frieda Hybin, 81 Church Street, appeared and offered the opinion that the German heritage of the City should be recognized in some fashion. She suggested that the name chosen should be more distinguished than Civic Square and proposed the name "United Nations Square" as it reflects the multi- national character of the community. She also proposed that both of the building wings should be named after Mayor D.V. Cardillo and the adjacent gardens after Anna Kaljas. Alderman C. Zehr suggested it is important to note that the reasons cited in the press for not choosing the name Berlin Square are not those of Council. He stated his support for the name Civic Square which is simple, clear and inclusive. Alderman Ziegler indicated he would not support the name Civic Square, noting that in his opinion it does not mean anything, and further suggested that other building features should incorporate the names Berlin and Schmalz. Alderman Galloway suggested that the list compiled by the Arts Working Group be filed and used for future reference. He also suggested that Council has an obligation to recognize the contribution of Mayor D.V. Cardillo at some point during the remainder of its term. The motion by Alderman C. Zehr to adopt clause 2 of the City Hall Steering Committee report of this date was dealt with and Carried on a recorded vote. In Favour: Mayor D.V. Cardillo, Aldermen C. Zehr, B. Stortz, M. Wagner, M. Yantzi, J. Smola, G. Leadston, T. Galloway and G. Lorentz. Contra: Alderman J. Ziegler. Moved by Alderman T. Galloway Seconded by Alderman M. Wagner That Kitchener Council endorse the concept of naming the three major building elements of the new City Hall after the former names of the City, being, Sandhills, Ebytown and Berlin, and that COUNCIL M/NIYFES - 22 - JANUARY 25, 1993 this endorsement be given to the Arts Working Group to be incorporated into their future deliberations relative to other City Hall naming requirements. Alderman G. Leadston expressed the opinion that the concept of naming the two Towers, the Rotunda, the North Gardens and the Committee Rooms, should be sent back to the Arts Working Group for further consideration and a recommendation. The previous motion by Alderman T. Galloway to endorse the concept alone of naming the three building elements using the former City names was voted on and Carried. Moved by Alderman J. Ziegler Seconded by Alderman T. Galloway That the report of the Planning and Economic Development Committee of Council of this date be adopted. Voted on clause by clause.

Klapman replied that Ms. S. Frenette is reviewing the document and this item will be included on the February 1, 1993 Planning and Economic Development Committee agenda. Carried. COUNCIL M/NUTES - 23 - JANUARY 25, 1993 Mayor D.V. Cardillo enquired whether the City should re-visit an earlier Rooming House Study given the problems recently encountered in the downtown core. Alderman B. Stortz referred to a flyer which was recently circulated relative to problems encountered in the East end of the City and advised that as Ward Alderman, he feels the issue relates to organized crime and single detached homes, not the licensing of Rooming and Boarding Houses. Mr. T. McKay advised that Mr. S. Klapman is presently preparing a report which would target specific blocks in the community, and Mr. Klapman advised that the report would be available by March for consideration at an appropriate Planning and Economic Development Committee meeting. Alderman B. Stortz asked that he be involved in any staff discussions in this regard. He also advised Council of a community meeting planned for Thursday, January 28, 1993 commencing at 7:30 p.m. in Suddaby School which would include a presentation by Regional Police. All members of Council were invited to attend and Alderman Stortz pointed out that the problems under discussion are not limited to the inner City alone. Alderman T. Galloway referred to a recent letter from the Town of Kanata and a circulation from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) concerning the status of grants-in-lieu of taxes. He advised that the Federal Government is planning a change to the structure of such grants which could have a significant negative impact on municipal revenue. He asked that staff investigate any potential impact pertaining to existing federal structures in the community, as well as, the proposed Women's Correctional Facility and the Armoury. He asked that a report be prepared and submitted to the Finance and Administration Committee for further consideration. Alderman M. Yantzi also asked that the City contact the FCM in this regard. Mayor D.V. Cardillo asked that a future meeting of the Finance and Administration Committee address the issue of standards for businesses wishing to operate outdoor patio areas. Mayor D.V. Cardillo acknowledged the service and efforts of Mr. Frank Clement, Director of Purchasing, who is retiring at the end of this month, and on behalf of Council, extended thanks and best wishes.
