That the following motion approved by Council at its meeting held December 17, 2019, be reconsidered: Whereas the signed 2017 Economic Development Organization (EDO) Service Level Agreement states under Section 2.0 Transparency, Reporting and Accountability: "2.2 d) EDO will submit a new or updated Strategic Plan within one year after City Council has established its strategic priorities for the term of Council. Development of the Strategic Plan shall include a full program of Public Consultation prior to the adoption of the Plan by EDO and submission to City Council."; and Whereas the deadline for submission of the Strategic Plan is May 2020 which is no longer feasible; Therefore Be It Resolved That in order to ensure KEDCO is in full compliance with the Service Level Agreement a draft EDO Strategic Plan be submitted to City Council in May of 2020 that includes a clear and timely Public Consultation Plan, and that a final EDO Strategic Plan with a thorough record of Public Consultation be submitted to the City of Kingston no later than Q3 2020.

Whereas the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting restrictions with respect to public gatherings have had an impact on public stakeholder consultation and the Kingston Economic Development Corporation’s immediate requirement to address business response and recovery plans may hinder the ability to meet prior agreed- to timelines which are no longer feasible; Therefore Be It Resolved That Kingston Economic Development Corporation be directed to provide City Council with a: 1. COVID-19 Business Response/Recovery Plan in May 2020; and 2. Update on COVID-19 Business Response/Recovery Plan implementation in September 2020; 3. Draft Integrated Economic Development Strategic Plan which includes a clear and timely Public Stakeholder Consultation Plan by October 2020; and 4. Final Strategic Plan with a record of public stakeholder consultation by the end of Q4 2020.

That the Minutes of City Council Meeting Number 2020-11 held Tuesday, March 24, 2020 and Special City Council Meeting Number 2020-12, held Tuesday, March 24, 2020, be confirmed.

That Council do now adjourn.
