SPECIAL COUNCIL MINUTES
JUNE 9, 2005
CITY OF KITCHENER
A special meeting of City Council was held at 6:00 p.m. this date, Chaired by Mayor C. Zehr and with
all members present.
Notice of this special meeting had been previously given to all members of Council by the City Clerk
pursuant to Chapter 25 (Council Procedure) of the Municipal Code.
Council was in receipt of Corporate Services Department report CRPS-05-1 05 (P. Harris), dated June
7, 2005, recommending that permission be granted to hold a 'Running of the Bulls event' at the
Kitchener Portuguese Club, 1548 Fischer-Hallman Road.
R. Gosse, Director of Legislated Services, advised that the organizers of this event which will be part
of the Portuguese Club's festival celebration and fundraising to be held June 11-12, 2005, will require
a licence and an exemption to the Animal By-law to permit the involvement of the bulls which is a
prohibited animal within the City. He further advised that the recommendation contained in the staff
report contains various conditions to the licence which, in staff's opinion, will protect the City, the
attendees to the event and the animals. L. MacDonald, Director of Legal Services & City Solicitor,
advised that Council may wish to consider an additional condition restricting alcohol service on the
premises until such time as the event is completed or as an alternative, prohibit consumption of
alcohol by the participants of the event. Council agreed that the additional condition regarding the
serving of alcohol would not be required by the City.
