Amendment to Policy PO-029 entitled Policy on the Acquisition and Disposition of Real Estate of the City of Gatineau

WHEREAS the City of Gatineau has been actively intervening for several years to support the realization of social and affordable housing projects on its territory;

WHEREAS the Politique d’acquisition et de disposition des biens immobiliers PO-029 (hereinafter referred to as "the Policy") provides, in section 12, that the sale of municipal land to a non-profit organization (NPO), a housing cooperative, or the Office d’habitation de l’Outaouais (OHO), when carried out in the context of the realization of an affordable and/or social housing project in connection with municipal or governmental programs, is done free of charge. The market value of the land is considered in the financial structure as a subsidy and as a contribution from the City;

WHEREAS in certain recent files, the realization of these projects required the temporary occupation of additional municipal land to allow for the storage of construction materials, the installation of construction trailers, or the development of temporary spaces required for the execution of the work. This occupation was not, however, exercised by the eligible organization, but by the construction contractor in charge of the project;

WHEREAS, in accordance with the Loi sur l’interdiction de subventions municipales, the City had to conclude a separate agreement with the contractor at fair market value. This situation led to an adjustment of the financial structure of the project carried by the eligible organization. This requirement had the effect of increasing the costs of the project carried by this organization and, in some cases, compromising its financial viability;

WHEREAS it is therefore important to clearly distinguish the aid granted to the eligible housing project from any use of municipal domain by a general contractor or subcontractor;

WHEREAS, moreover, the recent adoption of section 84.2 of the Loi sur les compétences municipales expressly confirms the power of municipalities to grant aid aimed at increasing or maintaining the supply of social, affordable, or student housing;

WHEREAS the proposed modification of the Policy to frame this provision of additional municipal land is mainly translated by the addition of section 12.2.1 providing that the City may make available, free of charge and on a temporary basis, additional municipal land for the exclusive purposes of the construction of a project covered by section 12.2 of the Policy. This temporary loan of additional municipal land must:

• be directly linked to the construction of the housing project; • benefit exclusively the eligible organization; • be strictly limited to the duration required for the realization of the construction work and end at the latest upon the completion thereof; • be the subject of a separate written agreement between the eligible organization and the City, specifying in particular the duration, the conditions of occupation, the rights and obligations of the parties, as well as any other applicable terms; • be approved by the competent municipal authority:

IT IS PROPOSED BY COUNCILLOR STEVE MORAN, SECONDED BY MAYOR MAUDE MARQUIS-BISSONNETTE, AND RESOLVED THAT this council:

• accepts the modifications made to policy PO-029 entitled Politique d’acquisition et de disposition des biens immobiliers de la Ville de Gatineau; • authorizes the director of the Service des biens immobiliers and the deputy general manager, Asset and Project Management, to sign the policy.

This temporary occupation permit will be transmitted to the City by the ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable following the adoption of this resolution; • mandates the Service du greffe to coordinate all steps required to follow up on this resolution; • authorizes the Service des biens immobiliers to carry out the proper management of this transaction by ensuring compliance with the terms and conditions of the deed of sale to be entered into; • authorizes the treasurer to draw the required sums from project 19-3080 Réfection boulevard Lucerne (21006 PIVO) and to make the accounting entries required to follow up on this resolution.

Strengthening Municipal Decision-Making by Integrating a Projected Taxation Sheet for Certain Development Projects - Notice of Motion by Councillor Julie Bélisle Filed at the January 20, 2026, Municipal Council Meeting

Madame la conseillère Julie Bélisle proposes the following resolution:

CONSIDERING THAT the City of Gatineau administers limited public funds and must, in a context of budgetary pressures and increasing service costs, ensure rigorous, responsible, and sustainable management of municipal finances;

CONSIDERING THAT the municipal council is legally responsible for decisions having financial and budgetary impacts for the City, both in the short, medium, and long term;

CONSIDERING THAT the municipal council must have clear information in order to evaluate the financial impacts of projects submitted for its approval;

CONSIDERING THAT planning and real estate development projects have direct impacts on taxation revenues and municipal costs;

CONSIDERING THAT these same projects can also generate additional property tax revenues, but that these benefits must be evaluated objectively in order to measure the real profitability for the community;

CONSIDERING THAT an evaluation of municipal financial impacts aims to estimate, over a determined period, the revenues and expenses generated by a project, including the impacts on indebtedness, budgetary balance, municipal debt, and tax burden;

CONSIDERING THAT the absence of structured and comparable information on the fiscal impacts of projects limits the municipal council's ability to fully exercise its role of oversight, analysis, and informed decision-making;

CONSIDERING THAT a summary sheet presenting the projected taxation helps to inform decision-making and to compare different projects or scenarios;

CONSIDERING THAT the government of Quebec, in the Guide – La prise de décision en urbanisme, recognizes that the evaluation of financial impacts constitutes a decision-support tool for municipal elected officials;

CONSIDERING THAT this type of analysis is recognized as a decision-support tool for municipal elected officials;

CONSIDERING THAT the evaluation of projected property taxes allows for comparing projects of the same nature, different locations, or different versions of the same project, and identifying the most advantageous scenarios for the community;

CONSIDERING THAT sound municipal governance relies notably on access to complete, understandable, and documented data when studying projects submitted to the council;

CONSIDERING THAT the transparency and accessibility of financial information relative to projects submitted to the municipal council strengthen public confidence in the decision-making process and accountability;

CONSIDERING THAT several municipalities already use financial evaluation tools for planning projects in order to support their decisions and better plan their public investments:

IT IS PROPOSED BY COUNCILLOR LUC CHÉNIER, SECONDED BY COUNCILLOR CHLOÉ BOURGEOIS, AND RESOLVED THAT this council mandates the administration to:

• Provide for the implementation of a financial impact evaluation sheet for planning and real estate development projects, including both the revenues and expenses inherent to a new project;
• Provide for a presentation of the project and the progress of the work of the real estate process improvement program to the members of the committee of the whole by April 30, 2026;

Public Dashboard - Housing Projects - Notice of Motion by Councillor Luc Chénier Filed at the January 20, 2026, Municipal Council Meeting

Monsieur le conseiller Luc Chénier proposes the following resolution:

CONSIDERING THAT the City of Gatineau faces significant housing issues, notably in relation to housing supply, accessibility, and demographic growth;

CONSIDERING THAT the housing shortage and pressure on the real estate market also contribute to the increase in situations of vulnerability and homelessness in the territory;

CONSIDERING THAT numerous housing projects are submitted each year to the City and that their administrative progress (filing, analysis, approvals, permit issuance, construction start) remains little visible to the public;

CONSIDERING THAT there exists, within the population, a perception regarding development gaps between the different sectors of the territory, and that a structured public tool would allow for objectively documenting this reality;

CONSIDERING THAT several large Canadian cities, notably Ottawa (Ontario), the City of Quebec (Quebec), and Kelowna (British Columbia), have equipped themselves with public dashboards allowing for the tracking of the evolution of housing projects and construction starts;

CONSIDERING THAT the 2021-2026 Municipal Strategic Plan of the City of Gatineau puts forward principles of open governance, dialogue with the population, relevant use of data, as well as structured mechanisms for monitoring and accountability, and that transparency and accessibility to information contribute directly to strengthening public confidence in the City of Gatineau;

CONSIDERING THAT the 2021-2026 Municipal Strategic Plan expires in 2026, and that it is pertinent, in this context, to take concrete actions that align with the spirit of this plan;

CONSIDERING THAT the Revised Land Use and Development Plan (SADR) establishes urbanization priorities, an urban structure, and a logic of urbanization management that require monitoring tools that are coherent and accessible to the public;

CONSIDERING THAT the 2023-2027 Action Plan - Development of Vacant Land already provides for the development of interactive monitoring tools and the use of performance indicators, demonstrating the administration's capacity to put in place structured accountability mechanisms;

CONSIDERING THAT the municipal administration already uses monitoring tools, performance indicators, and management dashboards in several structuring documents, notably the 2021-2026 Municipal Strategic Plan, the 2023-2027 Action Plan – Development of Vacant Land, and the Revised Land Use and Development Plan (SADR);

CONSIDERING THAT a public dashboard would allow citizens, developers, organizations, and elected officials to have a clear and shared understanding of the progress of housing projects in the territory:

IT IS PROPOSED BY COUNCILLOR LUC CHÉNIER, SECONDED BY COUNCILLOR CHLOÉ BOURGEOIS, AND RESOLVED THAT this council mandates the administration to:

• Continue the work begun and planned, ensuring that the implementation parameters of the dashboard are inspired by the actions currently being developed by municipal services aimed at improving the processing processes for real estate projects according to their complexity (dedicated facilitating cells) and their processing prioritization;
• Ensure that the needs communicated in the notice of motion are taken into account within the framework of the work of developing the dashboard.
