| 2 | | | Discussion Item | CITY UPDATES
Jason Forgrave, Supervisor of Enforcement Services, provided an update to the committee regarding enforcement and the services they provide. Mr. Forgrave advised that a college sharing information session would be a good idea to review current by-laws with students that affect student housing. He advised that there is the Barrie Social Media page that has up to date information that could assist students when trying to find certain by-laws or regulations. He also advised that safer housing is one of the main problems he has heard from student housing and how the city can work towards providing students with safer housing.
Jason VanWieringen, Zoning Officer, discussed with the committee his role and responsibilities with the city. Mr. VanWieringen advised that one of the main complaints they get a lot of is around room/boarding houses and not enough housing to accommodate the student population. He advised that the zoning team is quite busy with requests and that students are always pleasant when dealing with enforcement. | | |
