PUBLIC QUESTION PERIOD - 15 Minute Limit

Athina Tagidou, Resident submitted the following question:

"With respect to City process on making decisions for community centres, your clarification to the following is requested:

Since discussions and plans for the redevelopment of the Burnhamthorpe Community Centre were in place since 2017 and likely prior to when meetings by City staff for the 2019 Future Directions Recreation Plan began, were there any discussions made with the Mississauga Aquatic Club with consideration for an Olympic size pool facility to be built in the redevelopment plans of the Burnhamthorpe Community Centre and if yes, what was the outcome of the discussions?

If not, why was this consideration not made when the Mississauga Aquatic Club was already in discussion with City staff in 2018 of this idea -and possibly earlier than this - and only management members of the Applewood Coyotes Hockey team were prioritized and informed of the changes with request for their input only to the facilities in the redevelopment of the Burnhamthorpe Community Centre?"

Kristina Zietsma, Director, Recreation responded to Ms. Tagidou's question and spoke to a previous discussion with Ms. Tagidou and noted that the site could not accommodate a 50 meter pool.

A motion to increase the 2021 Automated Speed Enforcement (“ASE”) Program (Councillor Saito)

Councillor Saito spoke to previous discussion at the Road Safety Committee meeting, Vision Zero, the implementation of the Automated Speed Enforcement (“ASE”) Program and for the Mayor to send a letter to the Minister of Transportation asking that the ASE program be processed through the Administrative Municipal System Penalty (AMPS) as soon as possible.

Colin Patterson, Supervisor, Road Safety responded to questions from Members of Council regarding the Automated Speed Enforcement (“ASE”) Program.

Members of Council spoke in support of the motion and made the following comments: the need to slow traffic down;  moving the cameras outside of the community safety zones; gathering and the reporting of data from the ASE; a set speed threshold within the camera; the continuation of the speed digital boards; and the costs of the implementation of the additional cameras.

Shawn Slack, Acting Commissioner of Corporate Services and Chief Financial Officer provided clarification regarding the additional funding of the program.

Geoff Wright, Commissioner, Transportation and Works spoke to the implementation of the ASE program.

• RESOLUTION 0105-2021
  Moved By Councillor P. Saito
  Seconded By Councillor S. Dasko

  Whereas The City of Mississauga (the “City”) is implementing a limited Phase 1 Automated Speed Enforcement (“ASE”) Program with an anticipated start in July 2021, which was approved through the 2020 Budget Planning Process (the “ASE Program”);

  And Whereas the ASE Program consists of operating 2 mobile ASE cameras that will be deployed to neighbourhood Community Safety Zones where known speeding concerns exist;

  And Whereas the original timeline would not see additional cameras until 2022;

  And Whereas the City adopted Vision Zero in 2018 with a goal of zero injuries or fatalities on our roads;

  And Whereas Peel Regional Police have advised that speeding is a very serious concern in Mississauga and support the implementation of the ASE cameras;

  And Whereas Mississauga’s Road Safety Committee has given its support for expansion of the ASE Program as soon as possible;

  And Whereas surrounding municipalities have implemented the ASE cameras across their cities to help reduce speeding on their roads;

  And Whereas limited judicial resources impact court administration’s ability to accommodate trial requests arising from tickets issued through the ASE program;

  And Whereas Mississauga will continue to work towards eliminating factors which limit the ASE Program;

  And Whereas the intent of the ASE program is to reduce speeding and save lives and should be prioritized;

  And Whereas having 2 cameras in each ward (22 citywide) will provide a much greater coverage of the city;

  And Whereas the City entered into an agreement with Redflex on March 18, 2021 to provide the Services and the City is in the process of finalizing its agreement with the City of Toronto and other partnering municipalities for the processing of the City’s offence notices;

  3. That Council approve the following in 2021:
  a. The expansion of 22 ASE cameras
