The Municipal Innovation Council (MIC) was established in 2020 when 8 municipalities in the County of Bruce came together to find savings, efficiencies, and to deliver better services to their residents, all with the goal of building smarter, stronger more resilient communities. The MIC has had remarkable success over the 3-year pilot and has proven to be a model every community across Canada could benefit from. The MIC has allowed for the collective tackling of problems that couldn’t otherwise be done independently and armed its member municipalities with 21st century data that will provide the foundation to ensure sustainable growth.

This report recommends the continued participation in the Municipal Innovation Council by signing onto the Memorandum of Understanding and advancing the necessary budget request for 2023.

Petitions are a way for residents to communicate their opinions to members of Council and bring attention to a matter of public interest or concern that is within the authority of Council. Council passed the existing GG.3.13 Petitions Policy on October 5, 2016 to outline the specific requirements to help ensure their authenticity and validity.

Since that time there have been many advances in technology including digital signatures and the development of online tools such as change.org. There has also been a increase in demand for digital processes since the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Staff are recommending that GG.3.13 Petitions Policy be updated to include a process for submitting petitions in an electronic format.

Council is being asked to defer the public meeting requested as part of the Heritage Conservation District consideration, until after industry leaders have completed an assessment of the insurance issues related to Heritage Homes.
