THAT items not addressed in the staff’s upcoming report of September 18, 2024, be requested to expedite the stormwater capital program and identify projects that could be advanced with the additional federal and provincial government funding and report back by the beginning of October 2024; and
THAT staff report back on a storm water charge program that would compensate affected residents up to $1,000.00 per household permitting staff to advise on the maximum allocation of the program and determine whether it can be retroactive or moving forward; and
