Board Member Beverley Tjarera entered the meeting at 9:19 a.m.
Board Member D. Noble, introduced the matter relating to the December 19, 2020 presentation to the Committee by Surekha Kanzig, business owner, Surekha's on the Snye, in which it was suggested that the Municipality create a grant program for small businesses in the region who are struggling as a result of the economic downturn, the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 Floor event. Through consensus of the Committee, it was decided that grant funding is not within the purview of the Committee's mandate and therefore; the focus will remain on streamlining Planning and Development processes to assist with the removal of red tape which will in turn assist business owners in the region.
