New City of Ottawa Act
On November 10, 2004, City Council directed the Mayor and staff to obtain from the Province a commitment to establish a process for drafting a new City of Ottawa Act. The City of Ottawa received confirmation of this request from the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing on December 14, 2004, who recommended that staff from the City and the Ministry consult to address the details of the review. In January 2005, the Mayor and the City Manager met with the Minister to further explore the City's request. Since that time, the City's administration has been working with Ministry staff to address the details of this review, share information, and set the parameters for any new legislative proposals that would result in an enhanced City of Ottawa Act.
On July 5, 2005, the Corporate Services and Economic Development Committee considered a report entitled "Ottawa Legislative Review: New City of Ottawa Act" and carried the contents of the report, as amended.
City Council approved the "Ottawa Legislative Review: New City of Ottawa Act" report as part of its meeting agenda on Wednesday, July 13, 2005.
