COUNCIL - From Page 1 Meanwhile, because of existing bylaws, the Chief Building Officer cannot issue building permits to bring those homes up to safety standards. “Building permits cannot be issued to make improvements due to boarding houses not being permitted,” said Orton. The proposed policy would provide relief from the the bylaw on a temporary basis and allow owners to bring their properties up to safety standards within a certain amount of time. It would also allow council to revisit the issue and develop a plan to either amend the existing bylaw or come up with a new bylaw con-

cerning boarding houses. The policy would only cover homes housing temporary foreign workers and would only apply to those homes who had multiple workers prior to August 25. The building department can then issue a permit for the owners to bring the home up to standards. It does not apply to temporary isolation due to COVID-19. Councillor Bill Dunn expressed his concern that owners will spend thousands to bring the home up to standards and then could be denied later if the bylaw isn’t changed. Councillor John Hammond was concerned about liability in the meantime, until all of the homes get

their upgrades. Deputy Mayor Larry Verbeke asked why this issue is coming to forefront now. “I was always under the assumption that we already did fire inspections of these properties,” he said. “We also don’t know where all of these boarding houses are.” Mayor Hilda MacDonald questioned whether an already taxed building department could handle the extra load. “How are we possibly going to make this work?,” she asked. In the end, after much discussion, council voted unanimously to pass the policy and revisit the bylaw later in the fall.

Kingsville offers business relaunch fund KINGSVILLE — Eligible businesses within the Town of Kingsville can now apply for up to $750.00 in funding to help offset operating costs related to COVID-19. “The Town recognizes keeping employees and customers safe has resulted in increased expenditures for our local business community,” said Kingsville Mayor, Nelson Santos. “Businesses are spending more

on fixtures, equipment, and enhanced cleaning measures in order to stay vigilant in the fight against the virus, and as our region moves forward with each stage of the Province’s reopening plan, those costs continue to add up.” The Business Relaunch Fund is a one-time pay-

ment to help businesses offset a portion of the expenses associated with operating under new safety guidelines. To be eligible, businesses must be: located in the Town of Kingsville, be a registered business or a non-profit, charity, or cultural organization, and be operating out of property

assessed in the commercial class. Interested applicants can access the Business Relaunch Application Form and eligibility details on the Town’s website at www.kingsville. ca/relaunch. Applications will be accepted from August 24, 2020 to October 23, 2020.
