City council will meet today for its last meeting before the traditional summer break.
Speaking on Newstalk 580 CFRA's Ottawa at Work with Patricia Boal on Tuesday, Mayor Mark Sutcliffe said it's a time to take a break, but it doesn't mean work isn't getting done.
Items on the agenda Wednesday include proposed priorities for the remaining term of council, votes on things like an alternative to 9-1-1 for mental health calls, a transition housing strategy, zoning changes to allow more grocery stores in the city, and a motion to allow the Ottawa Hospital to lease out some land near the Riverside Campus for a for-profit long-term care project.
"I can't talk about it much, it's a confidential matter, but around major infrastructure projects there are legal issues that arise between the municipality or the province and the contractors who are doing the work, so we're going to get an update on that. There's no big decisions to be made about that. It's an information update," he explained.
