From time to time, the City requires suitable locations for its Fire Department to conduct training.
REPORT:
The City has entered into Agreements with the various property owners in the past to allow the
City's Fire Department to conduct training on the private properties, typically properties slated
for demolition in the reasonable near future. The owner of the property located at 2044 and
2060 Gleams Road has granted permission for the City's Fire Department to conduct training at
the premises. To expedite this process, staff suggests that all future fire training agreements
be executed by the General Manager of Development & Technical Services.

created or uncovered as part of the training exercise prior to leaving the property.

CONCLUSION:
In order to facilitate the training exercises, it is necessary for the City of Kitchener to enter into
these standard agreements. It is to the City's benefit to allow this type of training to occur. The
delegation of signing authority to the General Manager of Development and Technical Services
would allow the process to be expedited.
