Read a report from the City Manager advising that, in order to realize the

piece of fire apparatus (Quint) to allow the Department to reduce its complement by 2
persons per shift for a total reduction of 8 personnel and, while under normal
circumstances the procurement process would involve a specification being developed
and a tender call and award of the tender by Council, it would take the best part of a
year for a manufacturer to build a Quint to the City's required specifications and for the
City to take delivery and it would be impossible for the City to implement the plan and
cost-cutting measures for 2003.

were retained, but more importantly the by-laws, although they may have some benefit,
were not being enforced by the Municipality and, based on conversations with the City
Solicitor, it would be in the City's best interest and the City would be better served by
repealing by-laws that are not being enforced.
