Following my previous post on Strong Mayor Powers, Premier Houston confirmed on the Todd Vienotte Show in September that strong mayor powers are not being tabled in this legislature. The reasons he gave (based on my listening of the show) very much align the reasons I listed earlier.

On September 19th, Councillor White put forward a motion asking for a staff report on investigating parking benefit districts (PBDs), with the reasoning, "A PBD is a designated area where metered parking revenue is reinvested into the neighbourhood. PBDs can help communities better manage parking, support local businesses and reinvest in local community improvements such as enhanced maintenance, public art or streetscaping.

On September 9th, staff returned to council with a report from a motion moved by Councillor Austin in 2023:

Hackett's Cove Park has been a top priority for me since the election, as I know how important coastal access is to our communities, and I know how important recreation opportunities are as well.  This park enables both of those things for Hackett's Cove and all of District 13.  Although it's not big, this park is full of potential for the community it surrounds.

Although approved by Council, the Regional Plan was rejected by the province.
