The May 12th general committee meeting of Peterborough City Council sees the implementation of recommendations for a new Automatic Speed Enforcement system in the city, new incentives for affordable housing development as part of the Affordable Housing Community Improvement Plan, and the presentation of a report on the progress of the City's physician recruitment efforts.

Representatives of the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) Peterborough County Warden, Bonnie Clark and former Chief Administrative Officer of Hastings County, Jim Pine, brought forward their plan to quickly build new housing units in the region over the next seven years, known as the Seven and Seven Regional Housing Plan. The plan, as Pine explained it during General Committee on October 2nd, is to build 7,000 new units of social housing over the next seven years in addition to 21,000 market-rate rental units in that same timeframe.
