"Councillor MacKenzie opposed the motion due to the cost increase ($22,000 over budget), arguing that the focus should be on producing tangible recommendations rather than spending extra funds on refining the data baseline, although Councilors Rogers and Tobias supported the need for accurate baseline data to ensure effective policy outcomes."
Formal MotionPassed
"THAT the Urban Forest Strategy study be awarded to Diamond Head Consulting in the amount of $104,110, plus GST; AND THAT the 2024-2028 Financial Plan be amended accordingly."
