Councillor Mayberry gives notice (NM2-20221130) that he will move the following motion as an amendment to the 2023 Business Plan and Budget meeting specifically identified for budget debate (January 11, 2023):
Whereas the need for increased investment in affordable housing for many Oxford residents is urgently required, and therefore has been identified as an urgent issue for Oxford County Council;
And whereas the Safe Restart Funding was intended to be used for challenges the County deems necessary;
Therefore be it resolved, that the 2023 Business Plan and Budget be amended to commit $1 million to support development in Oxford County that will be subject of an agreement(s) entered into by the County for the provision of municipal capital facilities pursuant to section 110 of the Municipal Act for the purposes of increasing supply of Affordable Housing;
And further, that subject to the same conditions as the foregoing, an additional $250,000 be added to the 2023 County levy for further investment in affordable housing development.
