BURLINGTON, ON
After an hour and three quarters Council moved into a CLOSED session to hear a Staff verbal update on an HR matter relating to an identifiable individual and a staff behaviour investigation.
There was a second matter regarding a proposed or pending acquisition or disposition of land by the municipality
Behaviour problems are always heard in CLOSED sessions. The public seldom hears whatever decision was arrived at.
On land matters, City Manager Tim Commisso is on the prowl for any land he thinks the city can get its hands on. He knows the city needs more housing and he wants to buy land that can be developed. No necessarily by the city.
Earlier in the meeting Council was made aware of a Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) fund that was measured in the billions of dollars that would be available for housing initiatives.
Council was told that the applications are complex but that Helen Wallahura was working on funding applications.
We cover that in a seperate story.
