Staff are reviewing the implications of the extended hours of operation and will provide a further report to Council early in the New Year. Traffic Fines Revenue Councillor Kennedy referred to the recent announcement by the Honourable Minister Jenny Kwan indicating that local governments would not receive provincial grants, yet their share of funds from the new revenue sharing program for traffic violations fines would increase. It was pointed out that the cost sharing formula for this program does not yet exist, therefore the provincial government should be asked how it intends to determine local governments' share and when will this take place. The Mayor so agreed. Loss of Provincial Grants Councillor Clarke requested that Council address the matter of whether or not a public consultation process, similar to that undertaken two years ago, should be initiated in light of the recent announcement by the provincial government that local governments would not receive unconditional grants.
