Whereas on July 11, 2023, Council asked that “Staff be directed to conduct a fulsome review of various by-law enforcement models in other municipalities, including, but not limited to: 24/7 enforcement coverage, an arrangement of evenings, overnight and weekend coverage and seasonal overnight and weekend coverage with a view to adopt a new model of by-law enforcement that improves customer satisfaction and achieves behavior change with respect to historic and systemic issues experienced in the community; and Further, that the review includes an estimate of the projected staffing resources, equipment and managerial costs of each proposed model in the report"; and Whereas the residents of Caledon have been insistent through messages to Municipal Law Enforcement, to Councilors and through delegations at the July 11 meeting that the current level of MLE is not sufficient for the community. Whereas staff presented two options to increase coverage, improve response and establish a tiered response system at a Council Committee workshop on January 24, 2024. Whereas Model 2: Tiered System achieves the objectives with minimal budget impact. Therefore, be it resolved, that Council endorses the adoption of Model 2: Tiered System by the Municipal Law Enforcement (MLE) unit.
