Wawa Council to Consider By-Law to License Short Term Rental Accommodations

Wawa Municipal Council's set to consider a by-law to license and regulate short-term accommodations during a pair of meetings tonight.

First up is a Committee of the Whole meeting, which will include a presentation on the Asset Management Plan and Policy Update, as well as monthly reports from department heads, memos on RFPs for MMCC Digital Communications and Wawa Downtown Marketing Video Services, and a draft policy for the Downtown CIP Financial Incentive Program.

That'll be followed by a regular Council meeting, which includes resolutions to award contracts based on the RFPs discussed in the prior meeting, as well as the by-law to license, regulate, and govern short-term rental accommodations in Wawa and a policy for a Civic Achievement Award.

There are also three "in-camera" items: a personnel issue relating to a performance appraisal; a legal issue regarding a request under the section of the Municipal Act relating to property taxes; and a legal issue regarding an offer to purchase property.

The meetings will be held back-to-back, starting at 6:30 pm in Council Chambers - they'll also be livestreamed through the Municipality's YouTube channel.
