12. MOTIONS
12.1 Councillor Sloane

"To separate the Committee of the Whole and Regional Council to two separate days (Monday and Tuesday) consecutively. Best Work Practices state that meeting/working more than ten hours is unproductive due to fatigue and poor judgement."

12.2 Councillor Walker

"To request a report to Council and presentation on the impact of the Assessment Cap and CPI on HRM. Recently the Assessment Board established that residents would be eligible for the CAP without an application process. In light of this, and the completion of a report on the Assessment CAP for the UNSM by Deloitte and Touche, it would be timely for HRM Council to request UNSM to attend Council with HRM staff to provide an overview of the Assessment Cap impact before HRM embarks on developing the 2008/09 budget."
