Explanation of vote · May 27, 2026
Advocated a Council fire-services committee to address fragmented oversight, delayed planning, rising calls and missed response targets through regular public scrutiny.
Wyness signed rationale, May 27, 2026 · reviewed Oct 30, 2026Why this statement was collected
Adds public-safety governance coverage through her authored explanation; uses the signed May 27 date despite the filename's May 26 vote date.
Explanation of vote · May 17, 2024
Supported the rezoning package with amendments for suite density calculations and age-based parking requirements, arguing suburban transit service required different treatment.
Wyness signed rationale, May 17, 2024 · reviewed Oct 30, 2026Why this statement was collected
Broadens a taxes-only profile with her qualified support for rezoning; the signed date is preserved rather than the earlier vote date.
Explanation of vote · December 2023
Explained opposing the residential tax shift because she believed households could not absorb more of businesses' tax burden.
Wyness: December 2023 newsletter · reviewed Oct 29, 2026Why this statement was collected
Explains the distribution of tax burden between households and business, distinct from total spending or borrowing.
Explanation of vote · Jun 6, 2023
Opposed immediately adopting the housing taskforce omnibus package, favouring committee scrutiny of spending, jurisdiction and parking while supporting broader housing permissions.
Wyness signed rationale, June 6, 2023 · reviewed Oct 30, 2026Why this statement was collected
Adds a distinct housing-process explanation with qualified support; deliberately does not attribute this June document to September's later housing-strategy adoption.
