1 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:30,439 I would like you would like to move the approval of the agenda. 2 00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:30,439 We have a second 3 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:40,239 one amendment and that is that the minutes of the special meeting of 4 00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:44,399 February 4th be um forwarded to next week's meeting so that they're recorded 5 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:51,039 in our regular meeting and not in the special meeting. Uh just makes uh filing 6 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,600 a little bit easier. Okay. Um 7 00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:08,400 all those in favor of the um agenda with the approval sorry um the number five B. 8 00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:15,600 Okay. Um Adley should it be business arising or just this new business 9 00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:21,680 and I believe the Bon policy thing should go to the regular meeting. 10 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:27,119 Is that here next week? Yes. >> Yeah. To provide updates on what 11 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:31,840 transpired with the committee and I wouldn't say that they need to be 12 00:01:28,479 --> 00:01:35,240 because we mentioned policy. So I wouldn't have 13 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:47,200 just that believe that's what we said in the meeting. I don't just work here. 14 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,680 on the other. 15 00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:55,159 » Yeah. 16 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,880 » We just leave it like that. Everybody good with that? We keep the law policy 17 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:13,200 update there. >> Okay. All those in favor of the agenda 18 00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:17,360 with the amendment seeing say I can say motion carate. 19 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,360 uh any disclosures of conflict of interest. 20 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:31,840 Uh we will move into 5A the 2024 28 CCB the Canada community building funds 21 00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:35,879 plan. So what we'll do for this is have a presentation by one 22 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,760 that is passage that was sent out tonight 23 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:05,280 wasn't the fire to my bones in there. >> Yes. 24 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:10,920 » Okay. >> Almost 3/4 just over halfway down. 25 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:22,480 » But I seem to remember the two things being separate from our email. 26 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:31,120 » Yeah. One one was the agenda again and one the documents of the meeting. But 27 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:34,480 no, what I'm saying is the um the um what the two fire chiefs had put in 28 00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:40,720 Yeah. >> was in the documents on our email. Yeah. 29 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:44,040 They're not hearing. We don't have We don't have people 30 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,000 that 31 00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:05,000 share it. But we're just going to do it the other way. 32 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:19,799 that works, right? >> So, which one did you want to have? 33 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,799 That's why we're speaking for 34 00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:37,680 » I just want to thank everybody for having me here tonight. Let me uh two 35 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:42,240 things. One, I just want to give you just a brief recap of how we got here 36 00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:46,960 and and why we're, you know, we're thinking of purchase a new truck. 37 00:04:44,479 --> 00:04:52,880 um and kind of what we have currently and then of course the specs and 38 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:58,800 same time framing center on the new fire truck. Um so council and mayor will 39 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:04,080 remember that when we back in September of 2024 we had a uh unfortunately a 40 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:09,120 total engine failure in our rescue truck. So we were responding to a 41 00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:13,199 medical call uh the motor truck. Um at the time we looked at different options. 42 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:18,240 Uh there's three options if you'll remember. One was not a great option, 43 00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:23,120 but it was still an option was to repair the existing truck. Um we looked into 44 00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:27,680 it, but unfortunately between putting a motor in that truck and with it already 45 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:30,320 being refurbished once in the past, it just really wasn't a viable option 46 00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:34,000 because you were going to have to put way too much into it for what it's 47 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:39,039 worth. So that left two options. one being a complete new rescue truck which 48 00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:43,919 again was going to be best part of half a million dollars even worse now with 49 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:48,400 today's news of tariffs. Yay. >> Yeah. And uh and then of course we need 50 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:53,440 a pumper replacement 2030. So what we came up with at the time was the idea of 51 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:58,000 if we can go a little early on the purchase of the pumper truck which is 52 00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:03,520 due in 2030 but in turn save from having to buy a totally separate rescue truck. 53 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:06,800 Um, and then that way avoids the taxpayers burden of having to pay for 54 00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:12,720 two fire trucks within a three-year period. Um, which if that was the case, 55 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:16,960 you'd be looking at probably best part of 1.6 to 1.7 million if you're going to 56 00:06:15,039 --> 00:06:22,880 do true backtoback. Whereas this version here in theory would save the taxpayers 57 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:28,080 of at least probably 5 to $600,000 in the long run. So, 58 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:31,680 um, so with that being said, right now we're down one truck completely. So 59 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:35,840 we're down to four. The way it works now is that we've kind of retrofitted one of 60 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:40,240 our pumper trucks, which is typically used for fighting fire into a makeshift 61 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,759 rescue truck. And so it's already happened a few times where we've been 62 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:48,800 out on calls when something else will come in or in one really remote area of 63 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:52,800 our coverage area where it's a little nerve-wracking having, you know, all our 64 00:06:51,039 --> 00:06:57,039 water in one place or all our tools in one place, rescue tools, and not having 65 00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:03,599 uh anything on the other end of town. So, um, the idea would be to purchase 66 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:09,120 this new pumper tanker truck and then when it arrives, refurbish our current 67 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:13,440 2018 pumper into a rescue popper. So, it would have the option of being a heavy 68 00:07:11,199 --> 00:07:18,160 duty rescue with all the rescue tools, jaws of life, uh, medical equipment, 69 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:25,120 etc., and the ability to fight fire as well. 70 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:28,880 Uh, so we did reach out to three mark suppliers. 71 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:33,199 uh Maxi Metal of Quebec, which we already have one of their trucks now. 72 00:07:30,479 --> 00:07:39,440 Currently, we reached out to Metalf Fab in New Brunswick and we reached out to 73 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:42,319 Ford Gary in uh Calgary, Alberta. Um everybody makes nice fire trucks and 74 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:47,520 there's lots of different companies out there, but we already have a pumper with 75 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:51,520 them and they're able to build exactly what we want and what we need. And we 76 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,440 know that it's a good truck because it's tried and tested and we've had really 77 00:07:53,360 --> 00:08:00,560 good luck with it. So that's why we we decided to spec out the truck to Maxi 78 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:04,400 Metal Standards. And so they're based in St. George, 79 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:10,560 Quebec. This new truck would be a 2020 freight liner, uh M2106 pumper tanker. 80 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:15,120 All M2106 means is it's just the type of chassis that it is. So uh it would be a 81 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:19,120 crew cab chassis, four door seating for five firefighters. 82 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:22,240 It would hold 1700 gallons of water, which the largest truck we have 83 00:08:20,479 --> 00:08:27,680 currently is,200 gallons of water. you'd have 500 more gallons of water capacity. 84 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:33,279 Uh the pump rating would be 1500 gallons per minute, which is 450 more than our 85 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:37,120 current truck. Um again, we're looking at this truck to replace a truck now, 86 00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:42,399 but we're not just looking at today. We're looking at next year, 10 years, 20 87 00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:46,800 years from now. So, I would hope that by river 20 years from now is booming and 88 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:50,560 we have new infrastructure and we have possibly new apartments or housing and 89 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,360 stuff. So hopefully >> hopefully that's what everyone wants to 90 00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:57,839 see happen. >> And so that being said, that's where the 91 00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:02,480 extra water capacity and pump and stuff comes into play and looking towards the 92 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:07,600 future. And then hydraulic ladder quarter tank storage rack. Um the less 93 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,720 you have to climb the top of a truck, the better for safety reasons, 94 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:15,040 especially in winter in this weather with ice and and dark at night. If you 95 00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:19,360 don't have to get on top of the truck or the small little steps, preferably you 96 00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:22,959 don't. And so now a lot of the newer trucks have safety at the forefront 97 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,480 which hydraulic ladders and racks all come down with the push of a button. So 98 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:31,839 everything's accessible from from the bottom. Uh SCVA seating which is the air 99 00:09:29,839 --> 00:09:37,080 packs that we use the the breathing apparatus for four firefighters in the 100 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,080 cab. 101 00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:41,920 So this is a sample truck of what we're looking at. So it's quite similar to 102 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:45,519 what we have currently. There's not a huge amount of difference. There are a 103 00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:50,959 few though. Um the truck's a few feet longer, has a bigger tank capacity. Um 104 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:56,000 has extended front bumper with a hose in the front bumper for trash fires, car 105 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:59,360 fires, etc. Um the rear of the truck, it has a dump valve that swivels one way or 106 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:03,519 the other. So when we go to a fire, we have to haul loads of water 107 00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:06,720 repetitively. What we do is we set up a portable tank on the ground and we'll 108 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:10,480 dump water. So this has the option to dump from either side of the truck or 109 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,760 from the rear, which we don't have that option now. 110 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,959 Uh the racks, you can see they're all tucked up neatly on the side, but when 111 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:23,120 they push of a button, everything comes down on both sides of the truck for 112 00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:26,800 access to the ladders, tank, hose, etc. Um, so all in all, it's like I said, 113 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,720 it's quite similar to what we have. It's just newer version. 114 00:10:28,959 --> 00:10:34,200 Give us everything now and for the future as well. 115 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:41,839 » Okay, so timeline and pricing. So, we recently had a meeting with Safety 116 00:10:38,399 --> 00:10:47,760 Source, who Safety Source is the rep for Atlantic Canada for Maxi Metal. Um, the 117 00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:51,680 current truck we're looking to purchase has actually already been started. Uh, 118 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:56,320 and it's approximately at the halfway point of being built right now with a 119 00:10:53,279 --> 00:11:01,560 price tag of $850,000. The truck itself is right around 120 00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:01,560 $785,000. 121 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:09,839 The $850,000 price tag is the truck comes fully 122 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:14,000 equipped. So meaning hose, nozzles, ladders, bora tank, everything that you 123 00:11:11,839 --> 00:11:17,440 would need, it comes fully equipped. We made that I wouldn't say in mistake, but 124 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:22,720 we we did that in the last truck we ordered 2018 where we got it bare ball. 125 00:11:20,079 --> 00:11:27,120 We didn't get a single thing on it and we regretted it after the fact. Because 126 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:31,200 if you can include that amount into the overall price tag at the beginning and 127 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,640 divide it throughout the payments of the truck versus buying it all up front from 128 00:11:32,959 --> 00:11:38,880 your operating budget, it it makes more sense to do it that way. So we ended up 129 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:43,200 having to scramble and just take stuff from three other trucks to make one 130 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:48,160 truck work the last time. So So again, at 850,000, that's their quote. That's 131 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:51,279 their estimate. Um they're hoping to be under that, but that would be at the 132 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:55,760 high end. That would be fully equipped filbert to our building. 133 00:11:54,320 --> 00:12:00,000 And this truck is what's considered a stop program truck. So postcoid, this 134 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:04,800 program was developed to help fast drive a truck in a much shorter time frame 135 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:07,839 than a typical custom build. Um if approved by council now, this truck 136 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:12,079 would be completed and delivered to Rexton the last week of October of 2025. 137 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:18,800 So eight months from now, seven months now because I was done a month ago. 138 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:22,160 Um the stop truck program takes a try and test the truck and includes all the 139 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:26,240 most common options are looking for with safety at the forefront. So again what 140 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:30,320 they did after co is they realized that things are hard to get things hard to 141 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:34,240 keep in stock hard to get ahead of and the truck was taking anywhere from what 142 00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:39,120 used to take a year was getting into two years three years plus and so what's 143 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:43,200 happening now is that they realized that. So Maxi Metal has actually 144 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:46,639 purchased over a hundred chassis from Freightlininer International and 145 00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:49,600 different companies. They all have them brought in in stock in different 146 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:53,279 configurations and they're building these trucks in a stock truck program. 147 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:57,200 So when fire departments are in a need for a truck, they basically have the 148 00:12:55,519 --> 00:13:01,680 bare bones are started, but then from that point you customize it to the way 149 00:12:58,959 --> 00:13:06,519 you want it with your own options, colors, lettering, etc., etc. 150 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:14,079 And so reasons we believe council should act now on this. So there's more than 151 00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:17,279 one reason but uh we fully understand there's many other projects capital 152 00:13:15,519 --> 00:13:20,639 assets that five rivers has to take into consideration. However, our current 153 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:24,560 rescue truck is still completely under commission even though we converted our 154 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,760 pumper uh which although is working right now is not ideal. We're taking 155 00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:31,680 trucks out of town that normally wouldn't go out of town all the time and 156 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:36,240 we're leaving basically nothing in town if something else comes in. 157 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:39,839 with the looming threat of terrace places going up from here on out. It's 158 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:44,160 no longer looming anymore. When uh when I did this point was a few weeks ago, 159 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:48,720 it's not looming anymore. It's here. >> And so we have been told by the 160 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:52,959 manufacturer that so what they've done is that even though we haven't made a 161 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:58,000 decision yet, they have actually this truck, it's not spoken for yet, but it's 162 00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:01,120 also not being I I wouldn't say spec or sold in another 163 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:06,000 department. Not that they're holding this, but they're holding pricing for a 164 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:09,760 short period of time until it gives us time to work out the details on our end. 165 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:13,040 Hopefully, uh, and that being said, that would 166 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:16,320 eliminate having to worry about tariffs going into effect on the equipment side 167 00:14:14,639 --> 00:14:21,839 of things, which could quickly stop obviously, but as of right now, it's 168 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:25,360 everything's okay. The US EPA or the United States Environmental Protection 169 00:14:23,519 --> 00:14:30,959 Agency has recently issued their updated emissions regulations for 2027 to 2020 170 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:34,639 2032. These new emission standards will increase the price of this truck by a 171 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:38,519 minimum of $100,000 on the lower side, more than likely even more. 172 00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:46,639 » So you're saying it's going to be over 100,000 more. 173 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,720 » I'm going to get to this in the next slide. I'm going to explain what I mean 174 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:55,600 by that. So the US eviction standards. So, if this currently available stock 175 00:14:53,199 --> 00:14:58,720 program pump or tanker is not purchased, a new truck can still be ordered, of 176 00:14:57,279 --> 00:15:02,639 course, but with a minimum weight time, they're telling us roughly 28 months. 177 00:15:01,199 --> 00:15:06,880 Uh, that's on the low end. It could be up to 36 months. This would put the new 178 00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:10,880 truck into the time frame of the new regulations beginning in 2027. 179 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:14,959 New diesel engines under these restrictions will have to operate on a 180 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:18,160 DPF or diesel particulate filter system as soon as the key is turned to the on 181 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:21,440 position, even if the truck is not running. 182 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:27,120 new diesel engines. So, diesel engines in our trucks now are in uh even 3/4 183 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:31,760 tons or one ton trucks. They all have um they use what's called diesel exhaust 184 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:35,040 fluid and it collects tailpipe emissions from the engine. So, what this means 185 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:38,399 that as soon as the key is turned on, death fluid or diesel exhaust fluid will 186 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,760 be burnt continuously until the truck is shut off. 187 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:45,760 Currently, when you have a diesel engine, now what happens is when the 188 00:15:43,199 --> 00:15:48,959 truck is running, you're not burning this diesel exhaust fluid right away. 189 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:53,279 The temperature has to reach a certain temperature and then it starts to burn 190 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:57,120 this exhaust fluid which contains the emissions that come out of the tailpipe 191 00:15:54,880 --> 00:16:01,040 and in theory eliminates emissions that are put in the environment. What's going 192 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:05,600 to happen though with these new systems is that like it explains when you turn 193 00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:10,160 the key to the accessory position, not even on, the motor is going to start 194 00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:13,040 burning diesel exhaust fluid right away. And so what's going to happen is and 195 00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:17,839 people are really starting to panic about this is that they don't even know 196 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,639 there's not even so I'm going to get to that next year. There's currently no 197 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:25,680 engine manufacturer in North America that can even produce an engine of this 198 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:28,560 technicality yet. It doesn't exist yet which again means that the cost of this 199 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:32,880 new truck could easily exceed a million dollars. 200 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:36,000 And so that's kind of the goal how I'm getting behind this now versus just 201 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:39,519 waiting because if these intermissions are effect and you're waiting 36 months 202 00:16:37,759 --> 00:16:44,079 for a truck, you're going to have no choice but to fall under these 203 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:46,399 standards. And not to mention the problems that could come with these 204 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:52,000 standards because they don't even know yet how it's going to go for maintenance 205 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:54,880 and for uh issues with these motors because everything that's going to be 206 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:59,360 coming out is going to be brand new. So all the parts are going to be going into 207 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:03,800 new builds versus having parts available for breakdowns etc. 208 00:17:05,679 --> 00:17:09,720 » I the wrong way then 209 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:16,720 » so Warren >> you said the stock truck they even have 210 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:21,120 the chassis there so we won't get stuck with the tariffs on the chassis. So they 211 00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:23,760 have over a hundred chassis in stock right now 212 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,839 » cuz the chassis alone is quite expensive. 213 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:30,080 » Extremely expensive. The way it's worked in the past for our last truck, what had 214 00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:32,000 to happen is you had to pay for the chassis up front in full. 215 00:17:31,679 --> 00:17:35,200 » Yeah. >> Then you pay for the remainder of the 216 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:38,720 truck on your livery. The way it works now, they have it in stock is you don't 217 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:41,600 pay anything until So you don't pay anything up front 218 00:17:39,919 --> 00:17:45,679 » for the chassis since they have them in stock. But he sent me a picture the 219 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:49,840 other day of their yard in St. George, Quebec, and it's as far as the eye can 220 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:55,200 see. is just chassis. But that's why they're doing this is to get ahead of 221 00:17:51,360 --> 00:18:00,160 this smart mess. >> And so the last thing um I'll read I'll 222 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:03,919 just read it briefly. This is an article uh that was just published. It's 223 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:08,640 published in 2023, but it's been most recently updated here just a few weeks 224 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:12,080 ago. And it's kind of explaining what's going to happen with these new regul 225 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:16,640 regulations. And you see the title and the chaos that may ensue. And so it's it 226 00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:21,200 reads, "Oh man, here we go again into the nightmare of emission regulations, 227 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:25,200 which now make earlier US EPA mandates seem mild in comparison. If you think 228 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:28,640 trucks are expensive now, which they certainly are, just wait until 2027 when 229 00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:32,640 the raft of very stringent new regulations take effect in the US and in 230 00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:36,559 Canada too because we traditionally follow the American mandates. If only 231 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:41,080 because Indian makers engine makers can't afford to satisfy two different 232 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,080 mandates. 233 00:18:41,919 --> 00:18:48,960 Your diesel intro alone will cost you an extra$25 to $30,000 US and maintenance 234 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:52,480 costs, who knows? If you're an owner operator or small fleet, that may well 235 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:56,799 just be the moment you decide to pack it in. If all small business truckers can't 236 00:18:55,280 --> 00:19:01,200 afford new compliant trucks, they're going to stay with older, less efficient 237 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:04,799 trucks or leave the industry entirely. Once again, EPA is largely ignore these 238 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:08,720 warnings and concerns raised by truckers in this latest rule. But even the big 239 00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:12,080 boys will suffer. At the very least will there will be a mad scramble to buy 240 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:17,200 trucks before these new rules kick in just as there was 15 years ago prior to 241 00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:21,840 2007 rules and again in 2010. This next pre-by will be even more 242 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:24,960 widespread and disruptive and just about everybody I guess will plan to keep 243 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:28,960 their trucks longer. Used truck prices will skyrock 244 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:32,720 the EPA published what is called the strongest ever national clean air 245 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:37,840 standards to cut smoke and soot forming emissions from heavy duty trucks 246 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:42,640 beginning with the model year 2027. The main target is oxides of nitrogen 247 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:47,200 and medium heavy duty on highway engines as well as particulate matter and carbon 248 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:51,520 dioxide. One not so small point is that anxic sensors aren't presently perfectly 249 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:54,320 reliable and it's agreed by critics that they won't be able to handle the new 250 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:57,600 demands if they're even available in sufficient 251 00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:01,280 quantities. All in above is bad enough, but it gets 252 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:04,960 worse because of the California Air Resources Board of Car has even more 253 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:09,200 stringent set of standards on the books. So-called ACT rule to regulate 254 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:12,960 emissions. See a complicated road ahead? You betcha. Because the EPA and CAR 255 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:16,960 approaches are not fully compatible. Californians with absolutely no proof 256 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:21,120 that these reductions can be done an unrealistically short time frame for 257 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:25,360 manufacturers to comply about half of what the EPA has proposed. Truck and 258 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:29,600 Engine Manufacturers Association says several heavy duty on highway truck and 259 00:20:27,919 --> 00:20:32,559 engine producers could actually exit California market altogether because of 260 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:36,080 the cost associated with these provisions. Trouble is Washington, 261 00:20:34,799 --> 00:20:40,640 Oregon, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts have all adopted these 262 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:45,120 rules with Boston follow. So I know it's a lot but in theory 263 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:50,320 what's happening is this is coming whether we like it or not. there's 264 00:20:47,039 --> 00:20:54,480 nothing you can do about it. But at the same time, you know, if the trucks are 265 00:20:52,159 --> 00:20:57,520 available and you know, it's what we want, it's what we need and it's there 266 00:20:55,919 --> 00:21:02,159 now, we can avoid terrorists, we can avoid all these regulations, then I 267 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:06,880 guess that's our plus. The biggest thing to remember again is that we are down a 268 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:09,039 truck and something something needs to be replaced. 269 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:13,360 » And you know this company, >> we already have a truck from them 270 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:16,960 already because this >> couldn't be happier. I believe at the 271 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,840 September meeting when you guys made your presentation, it was unanimous. 272 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,679 Yes. >> That they go with the option purchasing 273 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:29,200 the new truck. >> So, if you can get it now, save the 274 00:21:26,159 --> 00:21:31,360 tariffs and all of that garbage. >> Do I need to make a motion? 275 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,400 » No, >> I don't think we made motion yet. 276 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:40,640 » I'm going to make a motion. >> I have a question. Uh, yeah, I have a 277 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:44,960 question in regards to this and your specs and a quote. Has anybody sourced 278 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:49,120 with canoe? >> You have to get your chassis from the 279 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:51,760 US. What he's saying is it's already here and we're not going to pay the 280 00:21:51,039 --> 00:21:56,080 tariff on it. >> They've got a quote from a company on 281 00:21:53,840 --> 00:22:00,480 their own as a recent fire department. Has anybody gone through canoe? Three 282 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,280 other communities are getting fire trucks all through canoe. 283 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,000 » Oh, sorry. >> Yeah. Why are we not going through 284 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,159 canoe? >> That's a company. I was going to say 285 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:12,240 could just >> women 286 00:22:09,679 --> 00:22:16,080 of municipal um municipalities of New Brunswick and they it's like an 287 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:19,440 insurance company or whatever they they source um for all of the municipalities 288 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:24,000 and they're called canoe. >> Okay. 289 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:27,600 » And so Kelly saying that um fire engines I didn't realize 290 00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:32,799 » all big equipment, heavy duty equipment. and you give them the specs of what it 291 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:36,000 is you want and who your perhaps choice is, 292 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:38,640 » but have them go back to the table and deal for you 293 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:42,720 » because Canoe could possibly get you something from that metal cheaper. 294 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:46,960 » A lot cheaper. >> Exact same thing you're ordering. 295 00:22:44,799 --> 00:22:52,400 » They have buying power, but you don't. >> My my only question to that is 296 00:22:50,159 --> 00:22:54,880 » what's that going to do for the time >> frame? Time frame. 297 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:59,280 » You'd have to ask them. >> Yeah. an icy wet warranty. 298 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:02,080 » No, it's something they've already gone through. 299 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:06,720 So, >> as far as red tape goes, 300 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:10,960 » we brought this last meeting. I mean, >> I'm constantly burning up. 301 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:15,679 » Yeah, you are. Um, but I know they trust Maxi Metal because they got a truck from 302 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:21,440 there before, but and as I believe we agreed to in that meeting, I asked which 303 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:27,280 is which solution best suits the fire department purchasing the new vehicle? I 304 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:30,080 thought we'd agreed then. >> I thought it was consensus on that 305 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,760 particular drum. >> Yeah. But I don't think we took the 306 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,919 motion. >> Yeah. 307 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:38,799 » No, >> I asked them about canoe and to go back 308 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:44,559 and get a quote because I wouldn't do anything without hearing about 309 00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:48,159 » so I can tell you there was no motion. >> Well, I did that one with them. 310 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:51,679 » Yeah. maximum 311 00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:55,919 » I I'm unfamiliar with with the purchasing channel the canoe provides 312 00:23:54,240 --> 00:24:00,799 there's two elements one is time sensitive to with we can look in the 313 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:05,760 canoe when I say it's time sensitive and say that quickly I think what Warren is 314 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:09,600 saying is that we're now whatever was done or not done in the past you're now 315 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:13,919 down to a handful of weeks probably before you can lock this in it goes for 316 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:18,159 all other agencies to explain whether canoe is operating presumably as a 317 00:24:15,679 --> 00:24:22,240 middleman because canoe sells a full and broad range of services, fire trucks, 318 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:25,520 everything from like chairs and tables, computers and those things. 319 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:28,720 » Whether they ultimately would provide some advantage, I wouldn't. The 320 00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:33,679 particulars of the three you cited, I'm unfamiliar with. So, it could be that 321 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:39,919 they would have some play in here. Uh I did do procurement for a telecom company 322 00:24:35,919 --> 00:24:44,240 for a long time for years. Um it's to be determined whether they would actually 323 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:47,440 provide some sort of discount those uh or whether they'd facilitate this trade. 324 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:53,440 Ultimately, they don't manufacture trucks, the ones that the one that he's 325 00:24:49,919 --> 00:24:56,480 outside the manufacturer. So, um they have buying power, but we're buying a 326 00:24:54,880 --> 00:25:00,480 one off and we're small town probably wouldn't would buy one every four or 327 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:04,720 five years. So, that's all to say that they may or may not provide any 328 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,919 advantage in here. The challenge is whether getting them involved in this 329 00:25:06,159 --> 00:25:12,000 stage would become an obstruction or delay the process in a way in which we 330 00:25:10,159 --> 00:25:16,400 lose an opportunity to buy what does seem to be a a good deal. But I mean 331 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:20,159 that said we can >> we can see the other thing is that the 332 00:25:18,159 --> 00:25:24,000 town like we' also looked at Canon Heartland but we didn't sign up with not 333 00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:28,720 we just didn't get to the point of looking we we're aware that others if 334 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:35,039 you look at ambian or there's a lot of pain or random using for certain things 335 00:25:31,120 --> 00:25:38,720 and um the challenge is that's probably the longer term play to establish 336 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:43,039 relationship with community that not just for this room or other things. So 337 00:25:40,799 --> 00:25:48,559 yeah, it's something we can take back and look at, but uh I yeah, its 338 00:25:45,919 --> 00:25:52,240 applicability here is questionable. >> Rob, could you make a phone call to 339 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:58,480 Canoe on it week or 10 days, see if they can 340 00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:05,039 do anything with this and at the end of that tell Warren or you call Maxi Medal 341 00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:08,640 and say >> because the other communities in New 342 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:13,360 Brunswick are only getting a truck, too. So they're still going through canoe. 343 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:17,679 » It can't hurt to make a phone call, can it? And if it's going to save us money 344 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,360 but get you what you want. >> Yeah. 345 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:23,840 » It's a win-win. >> One thing I will mention as well is that 346 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:27,279 Maximal So we there's three companies we did reach out to. 347 00:26:25,919 --> 00:26:31,520 Unfortunately, Maximal is the only company that does a stop program. So the 348 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:34,480 other two were basically I wouldn't say they're out of the picture, but in my 349 00:26:33,039 --> 00:26:37,919 opinion, we might as well say they're out of the picture for that reason is 350 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,640 that yeah, you could order through another company, but 351 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:45,120 » because the chassis is expensive. >> Chassis is expensive and I know if if 352 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:49,039 you miss out, I know it's going to lump. Not only that, but they don't like these 353 00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:54,960 other manufacturers, they don't make a trip to those specs in 354 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:59,840 a stock truck program. The other thing too is Maxi Metal has what's called 355 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:02,960 their their current Sourcewell. I don't know if anyone's ever heard of Source 356 00:27:01,039 --> 00:27:08,720 Well. It's a consortium purchasing company. So it's quite similar to Canoe. 357 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:12,960 » So we asked about that at the beginning. Is that is that something that's more 358 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:18,720 beneficial to us to pursue or not? and they said that for somewhere like um 359 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:23,200 city of Toronto for example where you're you know you have a fleet of 360 00:27:21,279 --> 00:27:26,720 140 fire trucks then that's something where someone obviously doesn't have the 361 00:27:24,799 --> 00:27:29,600 time to sit down and source out truck after truck after truck because it'd be 362 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:33,600 a full-time job. So what it is is they go through these purchasing companies 363 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:36,799 where they source it. They take care of all the 364 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:42,320 » the the leg work and then they present it to them. Whereas with us, like you 365 00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:45,440 said, it's not that, like you said, some couldn't. It's just that it's something 366 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:50,559 to look into. And then if it's something that's going to delay it by months or 367 00:27:47,919 --> 00:27:54,559 that it's not going to be a a a financial benefit to us by going through 368 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:58,080 them, then >> but you've done all the ground work. You 369 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:02,080 got to do is give them the code. You already received everything you want, 370 00:28:00,159 --> 00:28:05,120 all the specs, and just say, "Hey, can you do better?" 371 00:28:02,799 --> 00:28:09,919 » Yeah. because I was until I saw these documents today and saw this 372 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:14,399 presentation before I left home. I can say I was honestly surprised because I 373 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:18,559 thought we had already agreed that you guys go ahead and get a new truck and 374 00:28:16,399 --> 00:28:22,799 I'm sitting here thinking that was six months ago. Now there's tariffs. Now the 375 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,840 price has gone up. >> Uhoh. Like you guys can't be down the 376 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:30,080 truck. >> No. And that's that's kind of our my 377 00:28:27,919 --> 00:28:33,760 hope coming tonight was that we >> like this has been nights and weekends 378 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,960 and evenings and stuff and we've been putting a lot into it. So we've been 379 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,840 » studying everything going through the specs. This will be our third meeting 380 00:28:38,399 --> 00:28:43,360 with the company. We've been on the phone with other suppliers throughout 381 00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:46,559 the country and stuff and we did the labor like you said 382 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:51,760 » that part is all done. So, as far as when it comes down to dollars and cents, 383 00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:56,320 if for some reason that they're able to have a benefit to us through this, by 384 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:59,360 all means, I'm 100% open for that. If though that it's going to, then that 385 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:05,039 would be my >> spec meet your specs. Exactly. 386 00:29:01,919 --> 00:29:09,120 » And time frame has to be a time. And right now, he's saying that they're 387 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:13,840 forgiving the tariffs right now. >> No, because they're not forgiving it. 388 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:16,080 They already have them here. Well, he is not. 389 00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:18,799 » No, but you're right in the way. So, they they are forgiving the tariffs on 390 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,120 the equipment. >> Yeah. 391 00:29:19,279 --> 00:29:26,240 » For he said he's going to give us a few weeks. So, by a few weeks, I would say 392 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:30,080 like probably mid to late March would be the probably the longest they can push 393 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:32,880 that forward. But all the equipment that they receive that they wouldn't have all 394 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:37,200 that sitting on shelves. Obviously, they're going to have to get some. So, 395 00:29:35,039 --> 00:29:42,320 the more that they have to bring in if it's tariff, then the more that's going 396 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:49,279 to drive. So, can I make a motion that we ask Rob to call canoe 397 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:55,039 » um and find out if >> that if this is, you know, we'll find 398 00:29:52,799 --> 00:29:59,440 beneficial if it can help or if it can't help 399 00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:03,279 » and get an answer and if they say no, then we give him the go-ahhead to order 400 00:30:01,039 --> 00:30:06,720 what he's got right up there. >> I'll second it. 401 00:30:04,799 --> 00:30:12,000 » But I would like to say too little there's a time frame. they can't be uh 402 00:30:09,679 --> 00:30:15,200 » and I'm sure in one or two phone calls you're going to get the answer. I think 403 00:30:13,679 --> 00:30:20,559 whoever you talk to with canoe is going to be able to say yes, we can help with 404 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:24,799 this or unfortunately no we can't. I don't think it's going to be a 405 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:29,440 wishy-washy with Canoe because they know what they cover and they don't cover it. 406 00:30:26,799 --> 00:30:34,320 But can it hurt to make a phone call? >> If it's going to save us50 or $100,000 407 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:40,240 for example, >> why not? But if they can't or they're 408 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:43,600 not answering us, then we have to >> in theory you have a council meeting 409 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,679 next Tuesday. >> Yep. 410 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:49,600 » In theory by then. >> Yes. 411 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:54,559 » In a perfect world to hear something representative of canoe that could say 412 00:30:52,640 --> 00:31:00,480 » yes we can definitely help you with this or not a whole lot we can do. Please, 413 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:04,320 please tell the members that we're all on board for you getting a new truck and 414 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:08,720 we misunderstood because we thought in September 415 00:31:05,919 --> 00:31:11,919 that we agreed to do that apparently. >> You did motion to purchase it, but you 416 00:31:10,559 --> 00:31:15,200 said that this you were >> agreed in favor of that. 417 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,360 » Okay. >> The CR. 418 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:28,240 So anyway, tell the fire department >> that is what we want for you guys that 419 00:31:25,679 --> 00:31:33,840 we're on your side for what that is and just explain. Rob's going to call you 420 00:31:31,679 --> 00:31:37,120 » and then we'll have an answer. Like I said, I don't think it'll be a big long 421 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:41,200 conversation. >> No, as a as a minor note, as a caution 422 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:45,360 to council, I warn any counselor speak on behalf of councilman about the 423 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:50,159 support within their big motion predating it. 424 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:55,039 you would be able to confirm just saying the val you'd be able to validate that 425 00:31:52,080 --> 00:32:00,080 unanimous by vote not by >> an unspoken assumption that 426 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:02,640 » um that there's support. So you do want to 427 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:06,399 » preface that. >> Yeah. So 428 00:32:04,559 --> 00:32:09,840 » So do we >> just make a motion for you to call canoe 429 00:32:09,279 --> 00:32:13,519 and then >> I you don't need a motion to do that. 430 00:32:11,519 --> 00:32:16,880 Okay. No talk about that. We'll figure out how 431 00:32:15,279 --> 00:32:20,399 out when we follow up >> and bring it to next meeting. 432 00:32:18,399 --> 00:32:24,960 » Yeah. For next meeting, we'll we'll know whether it's a viable path forward with 433 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:30,640 canoe versus the route that has already been taken with the source of the 434 00:32:27,679 --> 00:32:37,120 decision. So it'll be >> that would be my request if possible by 435 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:42,679 then at least if we could >> that way I can give him feedback on 436 00:32:39,039 --> 00:32:42,679 their end of what 437 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:49,799 » we're supposed to be. >> Okay. So thank you really appreciate it. 438 00:32:52,159 --> 00:32:58,320 Okay. >> Next 439 00:32:56,399 --> 00:33:03,120 have a presentation. It's >> 850. You said it from 440 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:07,600 » Perry. Okay. We're going to spend $850,000. 441 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:12,960 Chief Perry, please say no. We're running out of money. 442 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:17,399 Got some sheep dogs down the road. 443 00:33:14,399 --> 00:33:17,399 » Oh, 444 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:22,880 just before he starts >> the EPA. 445 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,240 » Yeah. >> Is no longer going to be in existence in 446 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:32,279 about six months >> as far as regulations for Yeah. 447 00:33:28,559 --> 00:33:32,279 » So I don't know how 448 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:41,120 » we'll see how that goes. >> Yeah. I think the only as a minor point 449 00:33:37,679 --> 00:33:46,640 of information I'll I'll at some risk >> if you're meaning that the EPA is being 450 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:49,279 decommissioned by the federal branch of the 451 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:53,919 » it falls back to the states California would still 452 00:33:51,279 --> 00:33:58,240 » almost all regulations that are enacted in California become law in the United 453 00:33:55,600 --> 00:34:02,000 States with or without BPA because the buying power and the size of California 454 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:05,840 which is why you sort of heard that's true across the board ultimately so that 455 00:34:03,919 --> 00:34:10,440 is to say those regulations Even with probably don't go away 456 00:34:18,720 --> 00:34:23,480 » or you can just switch 457 00:34:34,079 --> 00:34:42,240 » I just format it ever so slightly in that the same no contact sheets. 458 00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:47,200 » So for the past several years we've been putting plans together for like a 10 459 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:51,280 year plan and we we've already had this in place. Uh 460 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:56,320 there's some costing I've get in some of the places and some costing I don't have 461 00:34:53,200 --> 00:35:00,160 it. And the reason for the cost was I didn't go get cost on windows doors and 462 00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:04,320 stuff because I wanted to see if it would fit into the the council's plans 463 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:08,240 for going forward. So some of the stuff was no cost and there's not a big panic. 464 00:35:06,079 --> 00:35:13,520 Stuff that should be done. Time frame is not not important. We start off with a 465 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:18,400 cardboard station. We had uh we need windows replaced here. 466 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:20,800 They're wooden windows and they're pretty well done. And there's not many. 467 00:35:19,839 --> 00:35:24,560 There's only a few of them in the building. 468 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:30,160 We talked about adding mini splits in the training area and also painting the 469 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:33,599 truck bays and then my option for mini split in in the truck bays which we 470 00:35:32,240 --> 00:35:36,640 would have to get somebody to see if it's even feasibly pulling 471 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:41,440 » because right now we run electric and oil. 472 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:43,680 » Yeah, oil is really expensive. >> Yeah, 473 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:48,400 » but the mini splits work pretty well. So that's there's not a lot to be done. 474 00:35:46,079 --> 00:35:54,119 That's that's for the hardboard station over the next few years. So, we'll move 475 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,119 on to Beersville. 476 00:35:55,040 --> 00:36:03,040 This is cost and this this has to be done in 2026. Our roof is getting pretty 477 00:35:59,599 --> 00:36:07,839 bad and that is a a cost and I got from a contractor $29,000. That's that's 478 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:13,119 today's prices. So, of course, if tariff goes in next year, it could be $36,000. 479 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:17,920 You don't know. That's today's prices. And uh people have asked me to put steel 480 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:21,200 on, but the way our building is, our building is in 481 00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:24,480 Yeah, >> the peak comes down towards doors. 482 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,920 » So, if you put steel on, there's a better chance to put put snow on the 483 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:31,920 doors and if you don't hold it right away, it just gets like cement. 484 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,560 » You can put stoppers, but then you're going to put a load on your sealant, 485 00:36:33,119 --> 00:36:38,160 too, right? So, >> I mean, shingles, we put them on. These 486 00:36:36,079 --> 00:36:42,720 lasted for 17 or 18 years. So, put another set of sh on. So, that's that 487 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:47,119 should be in the budget for next year budget. Uh the windows in the in the 488 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:51,119 building, this is more of a cosmetic thing to me than than it is an important 489 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:57,040 thing, but all the seals broken on the windows. They are reling 490 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:59,920 the glasses and they're from Global Windows. I checked the restore. There's 491 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:04,320 no wash. >> So that's something that doesn't have to 492 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:07,119 be done as cosmetic. Uh like I said, there's no pricing on these. Just 493 00:37:05,599 --> 00:37:11,599 because I said we could make a pricing and decide to put them in it works in 494 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:16,800 your budget, 28, 29, 30, really doesn't matter. There's no hurry for that. Um, 495 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:20,560 our ceilings are high in the fire station. We find it cool down around the 496 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:24,880 trucks, but up top of the trucks when you load no is very hot. So, we thought 497 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:28,640 we put a couple of industrial fans in there to circulate the air on the 498 00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:37,000 heating too, right? Did your uh your thermostat stuff down low there. That's 499 00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:37,000 all for the be station. 500 00:37:43,359 --> 00:37:56,160 So M1 is our tandem tanker and it's due to be uh replaced in 20 20. 501 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:59,359 » Yeah. Um but it's not a firstline truck and the 502 00:37:57,839 --> 00:38:03,200 trucks today are lasting better than the older trucks with the old GMs and all 503 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:08,000 the trucks that left the bed truck in bed. So on this truck here, we would 504 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:14,400 reassess it and and I guess be to replace 2029 and in 2032, we would we 505 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:17,440 would look at it in to be see if it would still pass. And we're thinking 506 00:38:16,079 --> 00:38:22,400 it's going to it had the motor rebuild in it once at a cost of $45,000 just to 507 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:28,720 rebuild the motor. So the truck is still in good shape. 508 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:31,760 » How old is it? >> How old is it? 509 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:38,480 » What year? >> Six years. uh 2009, but we got it in 510 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:43,119 2010. Okay. So, 20 years 20 years of life. Your 511 00:38:41,359 --> 00:38:47,680 first responder truck can't be any older than 20 years out of the graves. So, 512 00:38:45,359 --> 00:38:51,760 it's no longer a first responding truck. It's a backup tank or what it is, but 513 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:57,040 it's a bumper tank, too. We can fight tires and everything. 514 00:38:54,560 --> 00:39:01,200 Also, engine two will need tires in 2034. Now 515 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:05,359 I don't know if it's CSA that does that but in the province in a bunch you can't 516 00:39:03,599 --> 00:39:10,480 tires on a truck any longer 10 years so they have to be replaced so we put some 517 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:13,599 cost in there in 2034 engine roughly these are all today's prices still you 518 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:18,640 don't know will happen right >> 10 years from now they're $1,000 for 519 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:23,839 tires today >> engine three and hardware station need 520 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:26,839 to be based in 2829 uh 521 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:32,960 stand out. Yeah, it's got to be replaced. It's it's 522 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:35,680 a first truck out in our city, so it has to be replaced. It's going to be just 523 00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:40,000 going to be 20 years old, so it has to be replaced. And the cost of that it 524 00:39:38,079 --> 00:39:43,520 would cost roughly today's price is around $600,000. 525 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,200 » Parkplace hanger. >> What's that? 526 00:39:44,079 --> 00:39:49,920 » Is it a pump? >> Pump tanker. Yeah. 527 00:39:48,079 --> 00:39:56,640 So, that's something we have to work on. Uh Rescue 4 is another truck that uh uh 528 00:39:54,000 --> 00:40:00,400 is going to be assessed in 2032. It's it's life is on death at 20 years flat. 529 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:06,079 This is another truck that can be put off. It could even run on probably as 530 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:11,280 high as 25 years, 30 years. Okay. Just a just it's not a bumper truck. It's just 531 00:40:07,839 --> 00:40:19,839 all it is that we pull balls. So, and tanker nine stars in 2030. 532 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:23,240 Now, just to say in in 20 in 2029, 533 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:31,760 the beers station is paid off. So there's payment gone there. In 2030, 534 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:37,599 Tanker 9 is paid off there. Also in 2018, Rescue 4 is paid off. So that's 535 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:44,480 that's allow that's freeing up $300,000 cash. So to buy a truck in 536 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:51,200 2829, you're looking at probably then to $130,000 payment. So it's not as if it's 537 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:55,359 going to cost you any more today than it's costing right now. 538 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:58,800 We always replace our trucks as one truck was paid off, they rolled into 539 00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:01,520 another truck because if you never let the taxes go down, you would never get 540 00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:05,960 them back up again. So the province always go to another truck. 541 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:14,960 And this is our schedule for for uh changing equipment. There's our trucks 542 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:20,079 and stuff. And the other ones are half done such as the 2012 Silverado. It's 543 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:25,440 it's to be determined. Them are small purchases that can be done. uh at the 544 00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:30,319 time whether we need to whether it has been done or not. So there's really no 545 00:41:27,359 --> 00:41:34,920 schedule on them trucks and four-wheeler and there's a Zodiac motor truck 546 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:50,800 and see this is this is a big thing here 2000 547 00:41:45,119 --> 00:41:56,079 2026 are not certifying anymore 2216. So what that means is right now we run 548 00:41:52,880 --> 00:42:01,040 2216 Scott air packs. Uh they're only going to start reertifying 549 00:41:58,319 --> 00:42:07,960 4500 Scott air packs. So the air packs we have now are stol. We're going to 550 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:07,960 lose three of them in 2033 551 00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:15,200 to u and we're going to lose the rest of 552 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:19,280 them. I've got 12 packs. So we have nine packs left. They're good to 208. 553 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:24,880 The problem is we're running out of bottles. All the stuff has shelf life on 554 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:28,000 it. So we can't we can't stock up on stuff. So we have to we have to buy the 555 00:42:26,720 --> 00:42:32,560 stuff when you're going to use it because if you buy 15 if you buy today 556 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:35,599 in 15 years is no good. So you would lose 5 years. You're going to change 557 00:42:34,079 --> 00:42:39,040 2030. And the standards on the Scott airact 558 00:42:37,599 --> 00:42:43,200 doesn't go by how old you are. It goes on the standard you bought. So NFPA 559 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:46,319 standard which that's what we run out of the province. I don't know if council is 560 00:42:44,720 --> 00:42:50,319 going to run into that or not. That's something that policy you want to figure 561 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:53,520 out. But there were three standard back. So if you buy at the first of the 562 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:56,880 standard, you've got 15 years in your pack. If you buy the last of the 563 00:42:55,440 --> 00:43:01,040 standard, you've only 11 years on your pack and it's still the same price. It's 564 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:06,319 a stupid system they have, but that's the system they got. So if you're going 565 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:09,920 to run NFPA standards, uh, work safe compun really doesn't have anything on 566 00:43:08,079 --> 00:43:16,960 that. They got some talking about breathing air and wearing masks and and 567 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:21,119 shaving beards and that kind of stuff. So there was two options that we put 568 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:29,520 down here. One option was is uh if we buy bottles today, start 569 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:34,560 buying them from now till 2033, uh we would have enough bottles to last 570 00:43:31,599 --> 00:43:40,240 us to 2038. So our Scott air packs would be good to 2038. 571 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:45,720 » Okay. If we don't buy bottles today, then our our stuff is going to run in 20 572 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,720 in 2033. 573 00:43:46,240 --> 00:43:51,359 Yeah. But if you're going to go if you're going to go to this new standard, 574 00:43:49,599 --> 00:43:54,960 new standard is going to be 2031 or 2032. 575 00:43:53,599 --> 00:43:59,520 That's when the new standard starts. So you're better off to buy starting a new 576 00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:02,920 standard than buy. And the problem is with with 577 00:44:03,359 --> 00:44:09,599 going from 2260 and 20 4500s, nothing matches. 578 00:44:07,599 --> 00:44:12,800 Okay. So, you can't do that. So, if you decided to buy a few packs now and a few 579 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:16,560 balls now, first thing we have to replace for sure 580 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:21,280 and then you're going to have equipment that's not that's not going to match. 581 00:44:18,079 --> 00:44:24,960 So, in a volunteer department, I find it you might have stuck as simple as you 582 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:28,480 possibly can. People don't get confused. You grab the bag and grab a ball. Now, 583 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:31,280 this ball go find a ball. 584 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:35,680 » You're kind of busy. >> I was burn. 585 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:38,240 » So, what's your suggestion? What would you 586 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:44,160 » don't think it really matters a whole lot to me. These are today's prices. So, 587 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:48,240 one thing I thought about today was we we could always purchase a compressor 588 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:52,079 earlier. It's roughly around $40,000. Maybe we can buy it for the end of the 589 00:44:49,599 --> 00:44:57,280 week and then you can save too. >> But, u 590 00:44:54,240 --> 00:45:00,160 we could turn it down 4500 which when our compressor pumps up today and then 591 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:03,680 we'd have a compression for six hours. That's something that you could use 592 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:08,000 today to do that which I just thought about that today. 593 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:12,960 So to me there's really I think the best way is is is your goal when you're 594 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:16,960 putting your capital all together where is this going to fit in to work on it. 595 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:21,760 Your 20 bottles going to cost you $30,000. If you buy the bottles then 596 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:26,000 you're good to 2030. We've got 12 packs now and we feel we 597 00:45:24,079 --> 00:45:30,640 back we can go down to nine and we still be good nine packs because we feel if 598 00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:34,880 you get eight guys inside air packs then you're not going to have many guys left. 599 00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:40,000 do the other and be done. So that's one option. The other option 600 00:45:36,319 --> 00:45:44,480 was to buy all in in 2031 2032 where cost of today's prices are actually 601 00:45:41,839 --> 00:45:49,200 done. So with the change you have to change all of it like 602 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:53,839 » there's cost balls the big yellow balls we have change them change in our rescue 603 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:57,920 » the whole everything's ever changed >> like the thing that 604 00:45:55,280 --> 00:46:02,640 » everything the mask everything >> everything 605 00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:05,920 » does it have to be like Scott >> and there's something there too because 606 00:46:04,319 --> 00:46:08,960 I told the guy when he told me this I said well if we're changing everything 607 00:46:07,119 --> 00:46:12,319 now we can go to look at NSA we can go to Scott we can go to Gregor and you 608 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:17,280 know I can't think of four of them. We just switched to MSA 609 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:21,760 our last order we just got to 4500s and then that's because they're get them a 610 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:26,720 little cheaper and apparently everyone says they're really good quality. So we 611 00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:29,839 kept going for it was always upgrade and you would upgrade but now you're going 612 00:46:28,079 --> 00:46:32,640 to you go decide to go new with everything then you have the option to 613 00:46:31,599 --> 00:46:36,000 switch >> and I think they're all up to the 614 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:39,319 standard doesn't matter standard so they're all safe 615 00:46:39,359 --> 00:46:47,280 if you buy if if we decide to go on buying the bottles to last to 2038 we've 616 00:46:45,119 --> 00:46:51,280 got to start doing that this year. So what would we do? Would we buy two or 617 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:57,359 three bottles now? Three more bottles to 2033. When we get to 2033, we'll have 618 00:46:53,760 --> 00:47:02,079 spent 20 or 30,000 or >> 30,000. 619 00:46:59,359 --> 00:47:04,880 You might be up to 35 to 40,000 by the time you're done. But that will get us 620 00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:09,280 to 2038. >> We still get our spot max tested. It's 621 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:14,079 just that it's just that Scott aviation is not or NFPA is not doing tested on 622 00:47:12,240 --> 00:47:18,800 2260. They say that we need 4500s in order to 623 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:23,680 come up to the standard. >> So that 30,000 would be spread out over 624 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:27,760 five years or eight years or whatever >> from now till 2832 625 00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:33,160 » and then that changes the bottom number again when we have to change everything. 626 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:33,160 » Yeah. 627 00:47:34,079 --> 00:47:44,440 » Good. Either or it's gonna cost >> Oh, only thing is about that time Trump 628 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:44,440 should be billing. 629 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:52,319 » Come down when they >> So that's the option there. That's 630 00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:54,800 something I think that maybe fit into your plans and go through your numbers. 631 00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,200 » Yeah, >> because it really doesn't make any 632 00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:02,319 difference to us. I mean, our packs are all good. They all work. They test every 633 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:05,319 year. So, we bet no problem. Any 634 00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:14,640 questions on that? I know kind of confusing, but 635 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:18,400 turnup gear. We're always we're always buying new turnout gear just to keep up. 636 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:22,079 And >> we've started something the last two 637 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:26,160 years getting all my interior fires two turnout gear because now we have to send 638 00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:30,240 our turnout gear away to get tested which is gone for a weekend. It needs 639 00:48:27,839 --> 00:48:32,960 repairs gone a little bit longer. Also, every time you have a structure fire 640 00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:36,319 now, usually into the building, you have to take and clean your suits and wash 641 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:42,000 them. And so, I take time to dry. So, once we get our our interior 642 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:44,640 firefighters, then we'll be buying suits for them every five years.

If you 681 00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:26,000 change all the windows, you're probably $5,000. So they want to change. They 682 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:30,319 just >> to me it's cosmetic. People said, "Why 683 00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:33,440 didn't you get it done?" >> Does it condense in between the glass? 684 00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:38,160 » Yeah. >> But that was 685 00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:41,040 also heat escapes. So 686 00:51:38,720 --> 00:51:44,240 » yeah. Does it ever turn the heat? >> 85% of your heat. He lost her windows 687 00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:49,559 and doors >> by turning the heat down too. 688 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,559 » But that's the plan. 689 00:51:50,559 --> 00:51:57,760 » The stuff was the only one. The only thing is the spider decision 690 00:51:56,640 --> 00:52:01,400 budget >> and we need a truck. 691 00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:07,240 » The roof should be done next. >> Yeah. 692 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:17,599 » And you said there's a truck that needs to be done when 693 00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:19,760 » replaced. 289 >> 28 29. 694 00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:23,359 » Which one? >> Engine 3 and hardwork. 695 00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:28,319 » Oh. Same thing you want. >> Yeah. And I we'll probably build it the 696 00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:32,160 same as same as what Beersville is. We just our trucks identical. 697 00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:36,319 » We know where the >> we tried to match them up when we bought 698 00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:41,040 this one here. We went see their their truck and build so we could do 100%. So 699 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:43,040 » cuz one was a freight line, one was an international 700 00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:46,880 » and we're going to get caught with terror. So we're going to get caught. We 701 00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:50,079 need so >> maybe 702 00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:54,160 like you. >> Thank you very much. 703 00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:57,920 Keith >> said you're welcome to skip the next 704 00:52:55,599 --> 00:53:04,520 part because we're kind of be talking into the CCF 705 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:04,520 » Canada Community Building Fund 706 00:53:10,559 --> 00:53:14,119 just before World 707 00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:22,559 Canada building in front used to be called the Amash and 708 00:53:19,839 --> 00:53:27,119 it is always is typically a subset for any given municipality a subset of their 709 00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:34,400 capital plan is the system plan. So the federal 710 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:40,960 government uh through the province uh administers the program uh our 711 00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:48,640 administrator in Canada Laria or sorry in New Brunswick Laria you deal with and 712 00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:55,920 uh so there was a plan for 2014 2019 23 and 24 28 and uh 713 00:53:53,599 --> 00:54:00,160 it's for capital purchases so it's not for operating expenditures repair and 714 00:53:58,079 --> 00:54:04,960 maintenance and so forth. There needs to be capital assets you purchase. So if 715 00:54:02,559 --> 00:54:11,359 you just go forward as one now actually yeah um so the 2019 23 in the course of 716 00:54:08,559 --> 00:54:15,200 speaking to Luke about our 2428 plan which they do you can see there's not 717 00:54:13,599 --> 00:54:21,520 submitted or there's not one on file with the province. Um we did have a 2019 718 00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:24,800 23 plan but two of the three projects have not been started. So, if you look 719 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:30,400 at your council package, you don't need to open this now, but I did include a 720 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:35,760 copy of the actual 2019 23 plan. There's three projects in it. The first one on 721 00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:41,200 page four is the California Road upgrades that was completed. Um the 722 00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:47,280 second one, Brain Street upgrade for 200,000 was not completed. 723 00:54:43,839 --> 00:54:52,319 » And the third project on page six was the it just says various municipal road 724 00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:58,880 upgrades. That was not completed. So, what Luke said is that um 725 00:54:56,559 --> 00:55:03,599 that money has to be allocated through this five-year program. So, our five 726 00:55:01,599 --> 00:55:07,520 year we either we can do the projects that are listed there as two and three 727 00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:12,720 or we can remove those because they're not started um and replace them with one 728 00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:19,680 project, three project, whatever, however many to spend that roughly 729 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:25,520 290,000 or so extending it. And um what we can't do is transfer that money 730 00:55:22,079 --> 00:55:31,760 to the 2420 had just add it to the 2428 plan. So the 881,000 that has been 731 00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:37,599 allocated to fire 2428 must stay in the 202428 732 00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:42,960 and you cannot absorb or um or or add in the 286 that's in the 2019 23 plan which 733 00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:46,880 is not that big a deal. You just pick projects that add up to that and put 734 00:55:44,559 --> 00:55:52,000 them in. Uh but for council's information, we will next week where our 735 00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:57,280 plan is to my plan is to um update the 20 23 2019 23 plan. I will check with 736 00:55:55,280 --> 00:56:01,040 Luke. I'll send it to him before the council meeting and see that it's more 737 00:55:58,720 --> 00:56:05,040 or less okay. We'll add in projects and we'll do the 738 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:08,880 same with the 2428, give him a preview of it, which is pretty normal just to 739 00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:12,720 see the council approves it. Then you find out you can't do something in there 740 00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:17,520 and then it's creates another loop. You have to go back and update it again. So, 741 00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:22,000 and just as a note I've made before, the 2428 plan, 50% of the last year's 742 00:56:20,319 --> 00:56:27,280 allocation uh was held and will be continue to be 743 00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:32,720 held until they receive the 24 to 28 plan. So, it's going to go to the next 744 00:56:29,839 --> 00:56:39,040 slide. What I'm roughly proposing, but is that 745 00:56:37,119 --> 00:56:43,119 the 286,9 roughly that's there you could keep the 746 00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:48,400 breakthrough project. You will notice it's 200 in there. Um 747 00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:52,079 I was talking to the mayor a little bit earlier about this. That could be 748 00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:55,680 another street. That is something we can discuss. I think we identified church 749 00:56:53,520 --> 00:57:01,760 and school maybe as the highest priorities. Um but the ad there is that 750 00:56:59,359 --> 00:57:06,319 um you keep that street, keep project two andor change the street that you 751 00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:10,880 were going to do. Although great is a good candidate for work as well. Uh I 752 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:17,040 would propose that you replace project three with new community projects. So 753 00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:21,920 what we talked before council is u beersville claville community center. Um 754 00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:27,680 there's they would like to have concrete pad for the rinkage gravel. Now that 755 00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:31,839 would be about 50k the bass river hall. Uh they want a wheelchair accessible 756 00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:36,720 ramp and stairs. Their current ramp and stairs shouldn't be very bad here. Uh 757 00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:40,240 that' be 35. And for Greenwood Lodge, there's bathroom rep rates. Make sure 758 00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:47,680 again wheelchair accessibility as well as front steps like on preeps 25. 759 00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:50,480 Those are not super firm uh estimates in the sense that they're based on quotes 760 00:57:49,119 --> 00:57:53,920 and that sort of thing. That's not the case. They are estimates, but they're 761 00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:58,880 pretty fair estimates. I don't think they'll go north or south too badly. And 762 00:57:56,640 --> 00:58:03,119 to the extent that they will um within that you know spend there could be you 763 00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:07,040 know pluses and minuses that have to come out to about that total of 110 and 764 00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:13,839 or you cover through operating expenditures. Um then I'm done in there. 765 00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:20,799 You could also add in project 4 new project in that if you had um and this 766 00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:26,559 is fluid. You could make the 150 180 and not do the fourth in that within the 23 767 00:58:23,359 --> 00:58:32,799 plan. But I thought I did for the sake of getting to the figure I had 30 in 768 00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:36,720 there against the Beersville roof which >> the community center. 769 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:41,040 » No, no, that's roof. do that. Now, that does sort of 770 00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:44,160 start to play with the line of difference between repair and 771 00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:48,799 maintenance and asset. I'd have to check with Luke to see whether that was fully 772 00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:57,119 eligible. I think it will be, but that does poke towards the line a bit. Um, 773 00:58:53,440 --> 00:59:02,960 » so that would take care of the 2019 23 between and you could say for like a 774 00:58:59,359 --> 00:59:06,720 street upgrade and then um the community projects 775 00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:09,040 » that owns up to the 286. >> Yeah. All those 776 00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:14,880 » four projects. Okay. >> Yeah. Now, the other the other note 777 00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:18,400 about that is that um uh for the in case you're wondering, when we're doing 778 00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:23,839 projects for a third party organization, nonprofit, all of the transactions run 779 00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:28,880 through us. So, we would do the quoting, we would do the uh we would get the 780 00:59:26,079 --> 00:59:31,599 quotes, we pick the vendor, we do the payments, it would all root through the 781 00:59:30,319 --> 00:59:35,760 town. It would not root through those organiz that would be you can drift them 782 00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:39,359 through, but it creates more complications. completely advised that 783 00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:42,000 each of the town should just do itself. It keeps it simpler and keeps you out of 784 00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:46,960 trouble anymore. >> Sounds good. 785 00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:53,119 » So, just on the um two things again, the grade street upgrade that street so that 786 00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:57,680 we can do that like with 150,000 obviously. 787 00:59:55,520 --> 01:00:02,559 » Well, it depends on what you do. So you could if you I mean if you did repaving 788 01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:06,640 I think the original scope had like a removal of sidewalk and then there was 789 01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:09,119 repaving and do the full length. You could also do part of the street. 790 01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:14,720 There's nothing says you have to do the whole street. We I don't any not to keep 791 01:00:12,079 --> 01:00:17,920 on saying I but we had a long street but we only did about a quarter of them. We 792 01:00:16,559 --> 01:00:22,160 did it two years consecutively because we couldn't afford to do it all in one 793 01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:25,599 year. But um in any event uh there are options there but you could also switch 794 01:00:23,839 --> 01:00:28,559 out the church or school. >> Yeah. You know, there's another thing 795 01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:32,319 with school. I was going to mention to pay after 796 01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:34,799 » the problem. There's a problem with school. 797 01:00:33,599 --> 01:00:39,359 » What is it? >> Well, with the buses and and drop off 798 01:00:37,119 --> 01:00:40,799 some pickups, there's like it needs to be wide. 799 01:00:39,839 --> 01:00:42,880 » Terrible. >> It's not not wide enough. 800 01:00:42,079 --> 01:00:45,440 » No way. >> No way. 801 01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,480 » Does it have a sidewalk? >> Yes. 802 01:00:46,079 --> 01:00:52,240 » Yeah. >> It has a pull in 803 01:00:49,359 --> 01:00:56,799 to get into detail, but it's future thing. Yes. Beautiful springs and you 804 01:00:54,799 --> 01:01:01,599 can't go away. But the other thing too, so uh the Lions 805 01:00:59,359 --> 01:01:04,880 Club, they requested upgrades to their kitchen. 806 01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:07,920 » What I did here was because these are all external organizations. The Lions 807 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:11,520 Club, while it's still an external organization, it's our building, right? 808 01:01:09,839 --> 01:01:17,599 » So these are not our building. So I lump these together because a community uh 809 01:01:14,319 --> 01:01:23,520 upgrade project for things that are not in that we do not own. So buildings we 810 01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:27,440 don't. And then the other thing I mentioned off 811 01:01:24,799 --> 01:01:30,079 the top the counselor is that this is not the sum total of all the capital 812 01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:33,359 work we'll do and there's actually in the last slide I mentioned there's still 813 01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:38,799 money we we have through reserves and savings we can allocate this is simply 814 01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:44,799 this is what I thought would be more an approach to resolving or closing off 815 01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:49,359 2019 23 and then as well you'll see 20 20 uh uh 24 to 28 becomes relatively 816 01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:53,119 simple when you factor in the two trucks to be purchased and and that was 817 01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:57,760 intentional because now trucks with first time are allowed under CCBF and 818 01:01:55,680 --> 01:02:02,640 the purchase of those two trucks would essentially uh that would that would 819 01:02:00,319 --> 01:02:04,480 take care of the 881 plus and they'll I'll explain how the 820 01:02:03,839 --> 01:02:08,319 » next slide. >> Yeah. 821 01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:13,839 Yeah. Yeah. >> So with 2024 2028 we have 881 to 822 01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:20,960 allocate. So you buy the rubber trainer for Rex and 825 and look if there's play 823 01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:28,640 the numbers if it's 25 for but in any event um it was 525 from CCBF and 8 300 824 01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:32,240 from source so that would be from reserves that we already have and this 825 01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:36,640 will be by next year that you would have it. So we had for example now I don't 826 01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:42,880 want to be too definitive here but it looks like we'll be having the surplus 827 01:02:38,079 --> 01:02:48,160 for 2025 and north of 200. So that's now that was not put into reserve last year 828 01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:53,839 but it is available to the town. So the idea there is the way to get the 825 525 829 01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:58,160 CCDF 300 from source the truck for the Beersville hard courts 550 830 01:02:56,480 --> 01:03:06,319 uh if you do do that in the last year this plan 350 for CCDF 200 from source 831 01:03:01,839 --> 01:03:12,160 so that's 500 on source total and 825 uh eight sorry 875 which basically takes 832 01:03:09,599 --> 01:03:16,480 out I mean again I'm using round figures for simplicity, but that takes it grade 833 01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:22,160 81 and then you're that so that plan for 218 consists of two fire trucks and then 834 01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:27,119 everything else. But the nice thing about that is that everything else we 835 01:03:23,839 --> 01:03:31,920 decide to do, we don't have to litigate, manage, coordinate it with Luke and God 836 01:03:30,079 --> 01:03:36,240 bless Luke, but we don't have to go to the province for permission or haggle 837 01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:40,720 over anything or get it validated or tested, etc., etc. Is our choice 838 01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:45,280 qualified? It's a check in the box. It's done in order. So So it makes for a very 839 01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:49,599 simple, you know, CCF plan. >> So does that mean we have no cut 840 01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:55,839 payments? >> No. Well, it it depends like at the time 841 01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:59,839 when I say 300 source, you take a reserve, you decide to borrow 842 01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:03,680 » at that time. It'll depend on and we have the second part of this which is 843 01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:07,760 the harder and more challenging part is and and I might add like warranty 844 01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:11,760 there's a longer list of things for accent. There's some other things that 845 01:04:09,359 --> 01:04:16,319 Mark has mentioned for his then that fits into your capital envelope and even 846 01:04:13,839 --> 01:04:21,680 some of it in operating tanks you might go operating you might go assets but any 847 01:04:18,319 --> 01:04:24,559 event so in looking at the rest of it whether you have to borrow for not 848 01:04:23,119 --> 01:04:28,319 depends on what else you intend to spend how many streets we do is there a sewer 849 01:04:26,799 --> 01:04:34,000 system part two that we have to do the cost we need etc etc so that's that's 850 01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:37,039 what uh and not to get too nuanced but if you if there were a sewer system part 851 01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:40,960 two >> it might be easier to do that to your 852 01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:46,319 own reserves or savings than it is through borrowing or might or the flip 853 01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:50,160 of that. So that's a larger set of calculations. CCDF in a way is more 854 01:04:48,319 --> 01:04:54,720 contained and simple and that that knocks off your 881 that takes care of 855 01:04:52,160 --> 01:05:01,920 it. You can obviously you know purchase a $825,000 and a 550 with 881,000 but uh 856 01:05:00,079 --> 01:05:08,640 that's why that's where the 500 home source come in. So, so you believe it's 857 01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:12,079 it would be best practice to use the tax >> whatever 858 01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:16,799 gas tax money >> um to to pay for the two fire trucks for 859 01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:21,440 example. >> Um 860 01:05:18,799 --> 01:05:29,359 whereas could we not use that money for 861 01:05:26,799 --> 01:05:33,839 other road projects and borrow that money? The reason why Deputy Mary 862 01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:37,359 wouldn't the way I would say you would do that this is 863 01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:40,559 » I think part of the challenge if you were committed to buying this one way or 864 01:05:39,119 --> 01:05:44,799 the other the easiest way to do it is through the CCBF because it simplifies 865 01:05:42,799 --> 01:05:48,559 the administration of that program and they don't let here's the thing let's 866 01:05:46,799 --> 01:05:52,720 suppose for a moment you >> decided you were going to do you're 867 01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:56,960 going to pay roads AB C and D >> and then two years from now you decide 868 01:05:54,559 --> 01:06:00,799 you know what I'd rather pay D than Da go back and change your plan if you make 869 01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:05,119 that change because they actually ask you for coordinates like G uh GPS 870 01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:09,119 coordinates for your roads and the length of the roads and the whole thing 871 01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:13,119 when you do that application. So to avoid all that, if you p if we know the 872 01:06:11,119 --> 01:06:17,039 fire truck we're buying, we say we're going to purchase this firet truck for 873 01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:21,359 this department, done deal, we contribute 300, you take three, there's 874 01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:25,200 no fuss. But everything you do, like if you do an upgrade to a park and you say 875 01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:28,720 you change, if your plans change or your priorities change, 876 01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:33,599 » you got to go back through the process, which isn't like everybody, there's no 877 01:06:31,119 --> 01:06:38,480 need to go through that. It just keeps it nice and simple forward. 878 01:06:35,839 --> 01:06:43,200 » Yeah. The simplest. So for the truck payments that I don't believe you guys 879 01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:45,760 have any >> um 880 01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:47,359 » truck payments you have you guys have any deurly. 881 01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:53,839 » Yeah. >> Oh there are Mark you said you have 882 01:06:50,799 --> 01:06:58,880 trucks being paid off. Where would that those payments that what I would 883 01:06:56,319 --> 01:07:04,079 » they just disappear? a couple that where were those pig? So let me see if I fall. 884 01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:09,359 I was leading to another point which is I would not at least the way I think I 885 01:07:06,319 --> 01:07:13,039 can tell you I do not think about and you talk about the market like we had 886 01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:16,640 five deer payments after a million dollars for a fire. I do not necessarily 887 01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:19,839 think we replace them with five payments or two payments for a million. You don't 888 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:23,119 go leg for life. You go based on what you actually need. Might be more, it 889 01:07:21,839 --> 01:07:27,280 might be less. The timing might be different, etc. 890 01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:31,440 you you you you borrow what you should what you need to borrow 891 01:07:29,359 --> 01:07:35,119 » and if you didn't have to borrow then that would be the ideal world and you 892 01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:38,880 had lots of funds that come in but the details of that you kind of hash out all 893 01:07:37,039 --> 01:07:42,880 like the purchases after this which leaves all the internal work if you will 894 01:07:41,039 --> 01:07:44,799 for the town or I should forgive me saying town it's a habit 895 01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:49,200 » I know >> for mis valley you can figure out as you 896 01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:53,280 go along so the second part of this the capital the large the internal capital 897 01:07:51,119 --> 01:07:58,160 plan which will include this is more complicated and gets into more decision 898 01:07:56,000 --> 01:08:03,760 like it gets into that do we borrow is it reserves what makes sense etc and it 899 01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:08,400 depends on everybody interest rates >> um you know other say what you do 900 01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:11,839 » don't you also kind of need a rainy day slush fund for it just in case 901 01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:15,039 » yeah I mean you >> you don't want to deplete your reserves 902 01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:18,080 right >> that's a larger discussion and strategy 903 01:08:17,279 --> 01:08:22,400 on like >> that's why they have operating reserves 904 01:08:19,679 --> 01:08:26,799 and capital reserves and capital funds >> uh to give you 905 01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:30,640 But like you said, it is these are the two things we're gonna do. 906 01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:35,359 These are our two plans and a conversation. 907 01:08:32,799 --> 01:08:39,279 another TA said actually you should they say you 908 01:08:37,199 --> 01:08:44,319 know for your CCBF or your gas tax just keep it as simple as you can like have 909 01:08:41,199 --> 01:08:47,679 fewer projects and make them so write them in such a way they've actually they 910 01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:51,279 write them in such a way you have more flexibility to administer them or to 911 01:08:49,199 --> 01:08:54,640 decide to do they actually because of the change they've made to the template 912 01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:59,040 you have less flexibility because now they want you to put kilometers make you 913 01:08:57,040 --> 01:09:02,640 got to get coordinates they want you to be able to look up and see what you're 914 01:09:00,239 --> 01:09:05,839 doing so it's really But it's a pretty big oversight to have. So this is like 915 01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:08,239 super simple. >> And this is the first time they've 916 01:09:07,279 --> 01:09:12,560 allowed >> first time. Well, 25 you said. Yeah. 25. 917 01:09:11,440 --> 01:09:15,679 Yeah. >> Started 24. You could 918 01:09:13,759 --> 01:09:19,120 » we're going to talk about this morning. >> Yes. 919 01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:24,640 » Yes. This is an overview tonight. >> Um people to think about I guess 920 01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:31,640 look at >> Yeah. And we can see our 921 01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:31,640 next 922 01:09:31,679 --> 01:09:35,239 » okay so 923 01:09:36,159 --> 01:09:42,640 that was all >> that was 924 01:09:38,159 --> 01:09:45,640 » so we'll go on to 5D by policy updates. >> Yeah. 925 01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:55,040 » Oh the okay >> just a short update I guess. Yeah, 926 01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:59,280 update is just a narrative add to this, but just for the information of council. 927 01:09:56,800 --> 01:10:05,120 So, the bylaw committee has been working on two two uh two bylaws and four 928 01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:08,560 policies now four policies and two bylaws priming the proceedings of 929 01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:12,239 council and the sewer. >> So, we've got that to a pretty big state 930 01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:13,520 and pretty close and I think ready for second reading. 931 01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:17,440 » Yeah. >> Uh the four policies administrative 932 01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:21,920 standards which I talked about with council before which again has been 933 01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:25,440 tuned and is getting there. uh municipal fees and charges which is the idea of 934 01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:29,120 which is to concentrate or to consolidate all fees and charges for her 935 01:10:27,440 --> 01:10:34,800 and town. So there's a one-stop shop for residents as well as council on a yearly 936 01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:41,600 basis to decide or both to share what their rates and fees are or to update 937 01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:47,440 them with your council. Um we added a a policy for coding which just creates a 938 01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:52,480 standard um set of codes for both bylaws and policies. So it's simplified and 939 01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:58,880 obvious. And so over time it can stay consistent and so people know that like 940 01:10:55,440 --> 01:11:03,120 you know proceedings of council is A1 for example 941 01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:09,280 » and uh the final one is we did get a first draft to the bylaw and policy 942 01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:13,199 committee of the grant program municipal grant program. 943 01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:17,600 » So that is again pretty good but there's still be some tuning we did for that one 944 01:11:15,199 --> 01:11:19,760 as well but uh that's in place. So that's all just was 945 01:11:18,719 --> 01:11:24,400 » that's for Tuesday night. >> Tuesday night. Yeah. We have 946 01:11:22,480 --> 01:11:29,199 » coming forward, right? >> Yeah. 947 01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:33,760 » Yeah. But actually >> the current plan is for the bylaws to do 948 01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:39,760 a second reading council by title >> and then two of the policies this is we 949 01:11:37,440 --> 01:11:43,440 were discussing this earlier is that at least two of them will be held till 950 01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:47,840 April and then two may go through. I mean the codes is a very basic one. 951 01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:52,080 there's not a lot of in there for uh to be fussed over. And the gray one is 952 01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:57,360 though new is fairly advanced. Maybe that is ready for reading. Maybe we hold 953 01:11:54,719 --> 01:12:01,520 it till later. So that's the those are basically the issues here. 954 01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:06,320 » Good work. >> All right. 955 01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:12,120 So um I guess that takes up our open session. We're going to go into close 956 01:12:07,679 --> 01:12:12,120 session. together. 957 01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:25,239 » Thank you. Good night. See you guys. >> Drive safe. 958 01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:31,520 » We'd like to move that we go into a close session 959 01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:35,360 and Mike. All those in favor signify by 960 01:12:33,679 --> 01:12:38,360 saying against.
