New name, old committee. As previously reported, there weren’t many changes made to the operation of Heritage Guelph, but since this is kind of the first meeting of a new committee, we take a break from the seemingly non-stop series of designations these last few months and get into some orientation. Sit back, relax, and get ready to learn all about this new Heritage Advisory Committee from the basement to the rafters!
NOTE #1: If you would like to delegate to one of the items at the meeting, or to access an alternative meeting format, get in touch with Jack Mallon, Heritage Planner, by email at jack.mallon [at] guelph.ca or by calling (519) 837-5616, extension 3872. Deadline is May 30 at noon.
NOTE #2: This meeting will take place in-person at City Hall and virtually on Cisco Webex. You can find the link on the agenda page for this meeting on the City’s website.
NOTE #3: This is the renamed Heritage Guelph, which was approved by council in March.
Advisory Committee of Council General Roles, Responsibilities and Procedural Training – So this is the first meeting of the Heritage Advisory Committee, it is no longer Heritage Guelph. Since this is essentially a new committee (even though some of the old faces from the previous committee are coming back and it will do all the same work), this new era will begin with a review of the framework, the Code of Conduct, responsibilities of members, procedural training and agenda management.
Heritage Planning Policy and Legislation Orientation – After reviewing the committee rules, we will get into the heritage specific stuff. Staff will walk the committee through the various rules governing part IV and part V designations, the other provincial regulations, local heritage bylaws and initiatives, and the impacts of Bill 23, which will delete any listed properties that haven’t been designated by the end of next year.
Election of Heritage Advisory Committee Chair and Vice-Chair – Once the new committee is orientated, they will wrap up by electing the new chair and vice-chair. The previous chair and vice-chair Sara Epp and Kim Carroll will both be returning to committee.
