194
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,000
Paramount we find ourselves at a

195
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,079
crossroad where we must turn to our

196
00:10:05,079 --> 00:10:08,240
local leadership for guidance and

197
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,839
advocacy the imminent opening of a game

199
00:10:12,839 --> 00:10:15,240
Wilderness Retreat is not only a threat

200
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,800
to our business but also to the

201
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,079
tranquility and safety of our community

202
00:10:20,079 --> 00:10:25,350
as a

00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,079
whole we have invested our hearts our

204
00:10:28,079 --> 00:10:30,680
energy and our resources into creating a

205
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:33,200
peaceful Haven at Whispering Springs

206
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,200
it's a place where guests come to escape

207
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,120
the pressures of daily life to

208
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,480
experience Nature's Beauty and to find

209
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,560
soless in the arms of this natural

210
00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:44,279

00:10:44,279 --> 00:10:46,360
its Associated hunting activities

212
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,959
jeopardizes this harmony the very

213
00:10:48,959 --> 00:10:50,720
essence of what we have built and

214
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,839
nurtured is now under threat we have

215
00:10:53,839 --> 00:10:55,839
constructed a list to illustrate the

216
00:10:55,839 --> 00:10:58,200
total extent of the negative impact that

217
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,959
this will have on our our business and

218
00:10:59,959 --> 00:11:03,120
Community if the 1516 Telephone Road

219
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,480

221
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,200
the proper protocol in informing

neighbors and discussing safety concerns

223
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:16,480
the zoning at 156 Telephone Road is

224
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,959
rural and does not permit a recreational

225
00:11:18,959 --> 00:11:22,639

227
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,200
therefore the detrimental effects of the

228
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,320

229
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,120

232
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,680

the water system poses an environmental

255
00:12:38,079 --> 00:12:40,560
concern especially given the presence of

safety hazards we are discovering we

278
00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:39,079
have a large propane tank located a mere

279
00:13:39,079 --> 00:13:41,600
16 ft from the proposed Game Farm

280
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,120

00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,160

282
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,399
with multiple propane tanks that the

00:13:49,399 --> 00:13:51,560
potential for a stray bullet to hit one

284
00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:53,880
of these tanks and cause

285
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,480
life-threatening explosion or fire is

286
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,959
very real in addition nearly all of our

287
00:13:59,959 --> 00:14:01,920
accommodation are tents and would not

288
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,920
prevent a stray bullet from piercing the

289
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,720

290
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,079
killing a guest or an employee of our

Township's largest tourist destinations

293
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,759
and employers and are so utterly

294
00:14:15,759 --> 00:14:17,600
Disturbed that this level of risk is

295
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,360
even being considered we are not willing

296
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,920
to Expo expose our employees our

297
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,800
children or guests to this level of risk

298
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,720
and will proceed with whatever means

299
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,560
necessary to prevent this from happening

301
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,560

place to flourish while maintaining its

305
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,560

leadership to protect the interests of

00:15:06,759 --> 00:15:09,720
the community you represent we feel that

316
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,800
protections need to be put in place for

317
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,519
the businesses that already exist in the

318
00:15:14,519 --> 00:15:16,399
township we would not have built

319
00:15:16,399 --> 00:15:18,560
Whispering Springs let alone invest

320
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,399
every dollar in our name to a business

321
00:15:21,399 --> 00:15:23,440
that would be jeopardized so quickly and

322
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,279
without any notice we have invested

323
00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:28,360
years of Our Lives following the rules

324
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,759
and slowly painstakingly moving through

325
00:15:30,759 --> 00:15:33,920
the comprehensive regulatory process to

326
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,360
establish a successful tourist

327
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,839

328
00:15:38,839 --> 00:15:40,720
and you alone that ultimately have the

329
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,040
power to protect the hardworking local

330
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,240
businesses of this Township by modifying

331
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,040
the bylaws to put Protections in place

332
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,399
so that new businesses cannot just come

333
00:15:51,399 --> 00:15:53,680

just thinking you know if I wanted to

377
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,120
skirt all the aspects of opening up the

378
00:17:57,120 --> 00:17:59,960
business properly I was the restaurant

379
00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:02,799
what would I do I'd call my chef an

380
00:18:02,799 --> 00:18:04,799
independent contractor whose

381
00:18:04,799 --> 00:18:09,360
hobby was cooking I call my

382
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:13,320
waitresses staff that works for

383
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:18,679
donations um I sell my food at the curb

384
00:18:18,679 --> 00:18:21,880
raw try to

385
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,520
circumvent the laws that are in place

386
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,960
to run and establish business that's

387
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,400
exactly that's exactly what bird's eye

388
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,360
is trying to do and I just urge you not

389
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:37,400
to be

390
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,960
Bamboozled by their fancy talk of how

391
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,880
they sell their birds at the

392
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,039
doorstep and the the so-called people

393
00:18:46,039 --> 00:18:48,440
that by the birds can do whatever they

394
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,080
want with them I also understand that

395
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,400
during their hunt I have direct contact

396
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,440
with people who have gone there in the

397
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,320
birds cross the the boundary line the

398
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,640
farmers shoot across

399
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,520
the ACR the they say that there's never

400
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,679
been any problems out of the birds I

401
00:19:10,679 --> 00:19:18,000

00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:03,440
virtually yes it is um yeah I live on

437
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,320
184 a I've been here for five years love

438
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,200
the the town and the

439
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,080
neighborhood um I had some concerns as

440
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,600
my neighbor to the north they had their

441
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,760
car stolen from the driveway about three

442
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,720
years ago three and a half years ago and

443
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,200
I have we have dogs and we sometimes

444
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,480
have to come home late when I was

445
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,080
working I'm retired now um so I called

446
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:26,960
the township at that time and asked

447
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,919
about getting some street lights on air

448
00:21:28,919 --> 00:21:31,360
is there's now about 11 or 12 Homes

449
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:34,360
North of Harden so there's enough homes

450
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:36,880
I believe to uh make it

451
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:41,000
uh a concern um I was told to get a hold

452
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,760
of a Troy Gilmore who I believe doesn't

453
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,120
work for

454
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:48,200
the his response to me was not a problem

455
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,279
the the uh the poles are already

456
00:21:50,279 --> 00:21:52,240
pre-wired all we have to do is put them

457
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,880
up and it was kind of left at that I

458
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,679
just expected eventually they would come

459
00:21:56,679 --> 00:21:59,320
up and ha we up are five years later and

460
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,000
then nothing's happened um I did get a

461
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:11,159
hold of Councilman Greg booth at um uh uh Remembrance Day celebration and I

462
00:22:11,159 --> 00:22:14,440
ran it by him and he did call me uh a

463
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,799
few months later but nothing's happened

464
00:22:17,799 --> 00:22:20,240
and my concern is I don't want to waste

465
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,080
your time I don't want to waste my time

466
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,320
if it if if it's something that is just

467
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,559
not feasible or not in the cards or you

468
00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:28,559
don't want to do that that's the way it

469
00:22:28,559 --> 00:22:30,360
is I'd just rather be told UPF front

470
00:22:30,360 --> 00:22:32,600
that something we're not interested in

471
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,200
and leave it at that um but waiting five

472
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,200
years uh I think you know if you don't

473
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,000
come and say something the current

474
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,760
Council may not have known that but uh

475
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,000
and interrupt you just for a second

476
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,080
because I don't you mentioned you don't

477
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,200
want to waste your time and I don't want

478
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,120
to waste your time neither Brian do you

and delegation for Mr miles um I can

486
00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:08,840
touch on the street lights um the

487
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,240
process uh has begun on the street

488
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,919
lights and the actual uh construction of

489
00:23:14,919 --> 00:23:16,640
the lights going on is supposed to take

490
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,440
place um I believe it's this Friday it's

491
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,919
in my department update sorry um but it

492
00:23:21,919 --> 00:23:23,360
was a process we had to go through with

493
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:26,480
Hydra one to have the joint use of the

494
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,159
polls for our street lights on them they

495
00:23:28,159 --> 00:23:31,279
own the polls um long story short G

496
00:23:31,279 --> 00:23:32,799
Metro miles there's three lights going

497
00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:36,400
to go up uh from Harden Road right up to

498
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,440
the end of be Street uh every other pole

499
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:40,960
and the last street light will be on the

500
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,279
last pole so that you should see that

501
00:23:43,279 --> 00:23:45,520
hopefully lit up within the next two

502
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,080
weeks that's great news that's good I

503
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,640
appreciate that and because when you

504
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,360
also when you come in off of ly on aired

505
00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:55,760
there that's about a 20 foot uh straight

506
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,000
section then a 90° angle turning it

507
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,919
nighttime it's pitch black and it it is

508
00:24:00,919 --> 00:24:06,720
a bit of a concern um I appreciate that I know that that's happening and uh

509
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,200
I'm sure all the neighbors because I

510
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,240
talked to a lot of them will be very

511
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,440
pleased to hear

512
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,440
that it's been in works for a little

513
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,320
while Ryan but correct me if I'm wrong

514
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,279
but it does take a while with jerio fair

515
00:24:19,279 --> 00:24:20,960
enough fair enough I understand that but

516
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,320
that's good to see that something is

517
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:23,520
actually happening okay we're going to

518
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,399
move on to your second concern yes again

519
00:24:26,399 --> 00:24:28,640
I have dogs I walk to dogs all every day

520
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,679
on the streets there um it just seems to

521
00:24:31,679 --> 00:24:34,679
be getting worse and worse and in you in

522
00:24:34,679 --> 00:24:37,080
my uh deposition I gave you I I I call

523
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,799
it the town proper um as Aid and is

524
00:24:40,799 --> 00:24:43,000
pretty much in the little town of of

525
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,159
Grafton and as a me a resident of the

526
00:24:46,159 --> 00:24:49,000
town I feel you want to make sure I know

527
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,960
you guys do some stuff on Highway 2 and

528
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,440
you try and make it look nice but that

529
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,760
street is getting patch over patch over

530
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,840
patch and in some areas I notice at the

531
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,000
uh Grafton in Campbell house when we

532
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,960
have a strong rain half their driveways

533
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,840
down the street on air because just

534
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,440
because they're not paved it it just

535
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,559
flows all the way out there I know

536
00:25:09,559 --> 00:25:11,080
they've done some repair work in the

537
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,960
last month or two putting more patches

538
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,640
on um now a isn't as bad as Charlotte

539
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,360
and granted I don't live on Charlotte

540
00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:21,320
but it's really bad like it's just

541
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,279
falling apart and I just think I now

542
00:25:24,279 --> 00:25:26,679
again three years ago I inquired again

543
00:25:26,679 --> 00:25:28,640
uh through the town and I was told we're

544
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,720
in the queue about five years so that

545
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,200
was three years ago I'm I'm hoping that

546
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,039
we're in the queue now maybe for a year

547
00:25:36,039 --> 00:25:37,559
in the next year or two that something

548
00:25:37,559 --> 00:25:40,279
will be done is and it will be at ashalt

549
00:25:40,279 --> 00:25:42,360
I know they did some type of other

550
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:45,159
repairs where they just laid the gravel

551
00:25:45,159 --> 00:25:46,919
down and kind

552
00:25:46,919 --> 00:25:49,559
of put some oil down and let everybody

553
00:25:49,559 --> 00:25:52,320
drive on it but when I moved here I

554
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,520
again I have an old 65 Mustang and uh

555
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,240
geez I I just don't want to drive it on

556
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,240
a

557
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,159
to be

558
00:25:59,159 --> 00:26:02,919
honest I think um to respond to that uh

559
00:26:02,919 --> 00:26:05,120
Brian has I know he's got a roads needs

560
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:07,799
analysis study being done right now

561
00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:09,480
Brian am I correct and it's going to be

562
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,559
done before the end of the year and that

563
00:26:12,559 --> 00:26:15,760
basically gives Brian uh recommendations

564
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,480
on where we should be spending our

565
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,360
Public Works meeting I know there's only

566
00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:22,240
so much money I get yeah so I I can't

567
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,440
tell you or Brian maybe you can help me

568
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,880
but I don't think we can tell you right

569
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,520
now what what the plan is for the next

570
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,840
couple years yeah it's just too that

571
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,760
with the new subdivision going in north

572
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,080
of me off ly I know traffic is going to

573
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,120
get a lot busier once that moves along

574
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:40,880
so I'm was hoping that you know that

575
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,159
they get the street fixed before it's

576
00:26:43,159 --> 00:26:46,200
really bad shape I

577
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,720
um just just and again for the look of

578
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,360
the town that you want to make sure

579
00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:52,360
people do come through here that it show

580
00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:54,520
shows that we care about our town and we

581
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,799
try to maintain it as best we can agree

582
00:26:57,799 --> 00:26:59,000
Brian do you have a quick comment on

583
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,679
that or no uh just a quick one just I'll

584
00:27:01,679 --> 00:27:04,399
mention it is it is on our uh list you

585
00:27:04,399 --> 00:27:06,440
know currently in a Ros the next five

586
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,200
years and that's going back from our a

587
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,200
few years ago but uh the recommendation

588
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,600
moving forward when it does come it

589
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,399
would be pavement that you would be

590
00:27:15,399 --> 00:27:18,200
recommending it is a an urban street uh

591
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:24,120
similar to what we did over on um um

592
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:26,600
sorry yeah f r and stuff like that other

593
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,000
ones we're doing we did the North as

594
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,200
well and stuff like that so but again I

595
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:31,919
think I can't speak as far as timeline

596
00:27:31,919 --> 00:27:33,720
right now the the needs are great in the

597
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,080
township there is other areas in the

598
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,559
township that are in similar dire needs

599
00:27:38,559 --> 00:27:40,640
of uh repaying or resurfacing but it'd

600
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,000
be for a future uh Council budget to

601
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,559
talk about it

602
00:27:44,559 --> 00:27:47,120
again fair enough fair enough go ahead

603
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:49,360
Terry with your third yeah the last

604
00:27:49,360 --> 00:27:51,880
thing was again I walk my dogs every day

605
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,919
I go have to go get the mail and I

606
00:27:53,919 --> 00:27:55,880
noticed you guys had he actually had

607
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,120
somebody scraping lines off

608
00:27:58,120 --> 00:28:00,240
the crosswalk there I know you put some

609
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,120
signs up which is a great idea because

610
00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:04,679
some previously you I gotta tell you

611
00:28:04,679 --> 00:28:05,880
you're taking your life in your hand

612
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,279
sometime trying to cross that road not

613
00:28:08,279 --> 00:28:10,240
most people don't go 50 clicks an hour

614
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:15,279
along there they just don't but uh and again I'm noticing now with those

615
00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:18,000
signs at least a few people are stopping

616
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,600
but the other day there was myself and

617
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,559
another woman waiting to cross and a

618
00:28:21,559 --> 00:28:23,320
school bus just whipped right through

619
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,640
like it it's uh it is a bit dangerous

620
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,399
there and you just hate have someone get

621
00:28:28,399 --> 00:28:30,320
you know either injured or killed and

622
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:31,720
then say gez we really got to do

623
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,159
something about this so because there's

624
00:28:34,159 --> 00:28:36,640
really no other place to cross other

625
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,159
than if you just you know give a head

626
00:28:38,159 --> 00:28:41,279
turn and make a quick dash for it so um

627
00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:42,640
again again I appreciate you putting the

628
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,000
signs it would be nice maybe even if

629
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,480
they had to put a cop there I mean if

630
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,039
you give a dozen tickets for running

631
00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:52,640
a a across a pedestrian Crossing it

632
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,360
might wake some people up or even a

633
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,159
flashing yellow light or something just

634
00:28:56,159 --> 00:28:57,840
because people just aren't looking at it

635
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,600
I I'd say right now

636
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,279
about 70% go right through maybe 30% are

637
00:29:03,279 --> 00:29:04,880
stopping so and again a lot I know a lot

638
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,159
of the people aren't from around here

639
00:29:06,159 --> 00:29:08,960
they're just passing through but I just

640
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,480
you know I just don't want to see myself

641
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,519
or anybody else get uh picked off or

642
00:29:13,519 --> 00:29:15,240
something you know because people are

643
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,120
start I don't look like I mean the signs

644
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,880
are there but I obviously look and I

645
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,480
wait until it's clear but yeah just so

646
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,480
you know that that that is a County Road

647
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,640
ah and not owned by the municipality is

648
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,200
that Northumberland County's

649
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,200
responsibility however we are working

650
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,399
with North umberland County who have

651
00:29:33,399 --> 00:29:35,720
made some of those improvements but they

652
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,559
really are planning on doing a proper

653
00:29:37,559 --> 00:29:39,360
study to count how many cars are going

654
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,679
by every hour and how many people walk

655
00:29:42,679 --> 00:29:45,799
across every hour because they have uh

656
00:29:45,799 --> 00:29:47,519
they showed me the and I can't quote

657
00:29:47,519 --> 00:29:48,720
them or nothing like that but they did

658
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,080
show me the the different uh diagrams

659
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,720
and everything else that show how many

660
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,840
cars and Crow and if you can make the

661
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,080
combination the calculations says that

662
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,919
you should have this type of uh Crossing

663
00:30:00,919 --> 00:30:03,320
versus you know a much different one

664
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:04,960
fair enough I had to do an assessment I

665
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,240
get yeah which is so so I can tell you

666
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,679
they are working on it and um Dave and I

667
00:30:10,679 --> 00:30:12,640
were over there yes over there yesterday

668
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,880
cross the road and we got lucky we were

669
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,600
one of the we one of the 70 no the 30%

670
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,640
that stopped that St stopped for but I I

671
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,640
do agree it's it's an issue and uh we

672
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,720
need to uh you know put on better design

673
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,799
I think better um pathway or on the road

674
00:30:31,799 --> 00:30:36,279
as well as um perhaps uh a few officers

675
00:30:36,279 --> 00:30:38,799
in the area to remind people of that

676
00:30:38,799 --> 00:30:40,600
yeah I also give you Kudos on building

677
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,919
that uh ashalt walkway around the arena

678
00:30:43,919 --> 00:30:45,880
that's a everybody a lot of people use

679
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,399
that it's great for walking the dogs

680
00:30:47,399 --> 00:30:50,440
it's a safe area it's you can now access

681
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,360
the walking trails without going through

682
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,720
four inches of water if it rains so yeah

683
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,399
that was a good thing I'm happy with

684
00:30:56,399 --> 00:31:00,320
that that that works so well I miss you must go after I go first thing in

685
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,760
the morning on that pathway yeah yeah

686
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,760
I'm I I go at different times I'm up at

687
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,159
5:30 so oh well maybe we maybe we have

688
00:31:07,159 --> 00:31:09,720
bumped into one we might we might

689
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,440
anyways thank you very much that you've

Richard over the over the years I've met before I would say 60% of the

738
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,919
council okay yes then you haven't met

739
00:33:41,919 --> 00:33:44,399
probably Mary catherin would be my guest

740
00:33:44,399 --> 00:33:46,720
good afternoon yes and Council rinworth

741
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:51,230
good afternoon

742
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,159
meet so yes um under the municipal act

743
00:33:54,159 --> 00:33:56,360
you have to follow the public sector

744
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:57,639
accounting guidel lines are more

745
00:33:57,639 --> 00:34:00,440
commonly known as PAB so they are um

746
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,360
fairly involved and um quite unique set

747
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:05,840
of financial statements even for

748
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,639
accountants sometimes so uh um please

749
00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:12,440
feel free to ask any questions and of

750
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,079
course they are presented in a different

751
00:34:14,079 --> 00:34:16,240
format than how you actually set your

752
00:34:16,240 --> 00:34:18,000
tax rate budget so I'll try to highlight

753
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,159
those differences too as we go through

754
00:34:21,159 --> 00:34:24,720
so so then uh first off um within the

755
00:34:24,720 --> 00:34:27,240
draft audited financial statements um on

756
00:34:27,240 --> 00:34:29,560
the following page you'll see the the uh

757
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,560
onepage excert of the um auditor report

758
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,720
so the auditor's report is our report on

759
00:34:35,720 --> 00:34:36,879
the financial

760
00:34:36,879 --> 00:34:40,720
statements and it is a two-page document

761
00:34:40,720 --> 00:34:43,839
but the second paragraph uh on page one

762
00:34:43,839 --> 00:34:45,919
is what we consider to be the important

763
00:34:45,919 --> 00:34:48,000
paragraph that that in our opinion the

764
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,760
companying Consolidated financial

765
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,240
statements present fairly in all

766
00:34:51,240 --> 00:34:53,879
material respects the financial position

767
00:34:53,879 --> 00:34:56,240
of the township of Al cman at December

768
00:34:56,240 --> 00:34:58,480
31st 2022 and the results of its

769
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,560
operations and cash flows for the year

770
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,760
then ended in accordance with Canadian

771
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,359
public sector Accounting Standards or

772
00:35:05,359 --> 00:35:08,359
more commonly known known as PAB as I

773
00:35:08,359 --> 00:35:10,000
mentioned earlier so that is your

774
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,960
standard clean unqualified Auditors

775
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,359
report um as well too please note you'll

776
00:35:16,359 --> 00:35:18,640
see I think the the sixth or seventh

777
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,880
word there is the word Consolidated so

778
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,960
the numbers we look at include both the

779
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:24,920
operations of the township itself as

780
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:29,150
well as the library board so

781
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,520
that's just a summary of the auditor uh

782
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:36,000
Auditor's report um next uh we come

783
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,240
along to uh just give you an idea of

784
00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:39,880
some of the udit procedures that we do

785
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,920
complete um while we're here um looking

786
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,760
at your books and of course the main

787
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,240
thing is to gather the evidence to

788
00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:49,839
provide our audit opinion on on your

789
00:35:49,839 --> 00:35:52,119
financial results so that we do that by

790
00:35:52,119 --> 00:35:54,319
looking at your Council minutes um and

791
00:35:54,319 --> 00:35:57,359
of course a lot of testing as well of um

792
00:35:57,359 --> 00:35:59,880
Source documentations and that in

793
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,200
involves um as I said looking at the

794
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,359
documents comparing um things uh for

795
00:36:05,359 --> 00:36:07,560
analytical review either to budget or

796
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,960
the prior year and and as well too um we

797
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,440
audit a lot of other municipalities so

798
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,480
um with our knowledge there that uh

799
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:15,920
knowing the trends and the type of

800
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,599
things that are going on in the

801
00:36:17,599 --> 00:36:20,599
municipal environment U we do somewhat

802
00:36:20,599 --> 00:36:22,119
know what to expect in most

803
00:36:22,119 --> 00:36:24,280
circumstances and as well to to looking

804
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,000
at the estimates that that are made by

805
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,359
management

806
00:36:27,359 --> 00:36:29,319
and as well to most of your manage most

807
00:36:29,319 --> 00:36:31,720
of your estimates here would relate to

808
00:36:31,720 --> 00:36:33,319
um the life of your tangible Capital

809
00:36:33,319 --> 00:36:34,920
assets and things such as that

810
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,440
determining your um amortization and we

811
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,319
do that by by looking at your various

812
00:36:40,319 --> 00:36:43,079
systems and related internal controls um

813
00:36:43,079 --> 00:36:45,000
for both the the inflows being your

814
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,839
revenues your outflows being um your

815
00:36:47,839 --> 00:36:49,480
dispersements and your payroll and then

816
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,480
how you adjust things being your Journal

817
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,400
entrance we do that through a

818
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,359
combination of both um actual testing

819
00:36:57,359 --> 00:36:59,520
and then using data analytics as well so

820
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:04,040
that um we run your data through um

821
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,119
various

822
00:37:05,119 --> 00:37:08,359
um analytic procedure so that we we then

823
00:37:08,359 --> 00:37:10,319
focus our tests on things that might

824
00:37:10,319 --> 00:37:13,839
look unique or or odd or or or of course

825
00:37:13,839 --> 00:37:16,319
significant dollar value as well so

826
00:37:16,319 --> 00:37:18,160
overall the audit is complete pending

827
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:19,720
Council approval of the financial

828
00:37:19,720 --> 00:37:22,160
statements receed of sign representation

829
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,280
letter as well as receip of uh legal

830
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,200
letters um overall there were no

831
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:27,359
signific

832
00:37:27,359 --> 00:37:29,000
get difficulties encountered during the

833
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,680
course of our audit and no changes to

834
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,079
our plan or disagreements uh with

835
00:37:34,079 --> 00:37:35,720
management and excellent cooperation

836
00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:38,440
from your staff and management um

837
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,200
overall um there was one uncorrected

838
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,560
item so as Auditors we do keep a little

839
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,520
scorecard of of any differences we might

840
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,240
find that haven't been adjusted um and

841
00:37:50,240 --> 00:37:52,240
then of course we compare that to

842
00:37:52,240 --> 00:37:54,160
something that we calculate in the audit

843
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,359
industry being materiality based and

844
00:37:56,359 --> 00:38:00,040
that's purely based on um a percentage

845
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,440
of in for most municipalities of their

846
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,280
normal recurring Revenue so then when we

847
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,680
calculate that number um and compare

848
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,119
that to the items that weren't adjusted

849
00:38:10,119 --> 00:38:12,280
um we need then we determine whether

850
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,160
well we can't issue a clean auditor

851
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,880
report because the item's too large but

852
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,480
in your case the amount is is fairly

853
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,680
small but it's above our threshold to

854
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,240
report and it just relates to the

855
00:38:23,240 --> 00:38:26,040
interest on your debentures that um you

856
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,200
have two um debers now one for the fire

857
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,480
hall and the new one for the public

858
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,440
works Edition and of course you only pay

859
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,640
them twice a year so the the interest

860
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,440
that was that was acre from the last

861
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,160
payment date to the end of December

862
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,079
hasn't been recorded so um and as well

863
00:38:46,079 --> 00:38:47,359
when you look at the schedule I think

864
00:38:47,359 --> 00:38:49,319
this year the number was around 23,000

865
00:38:49,319 --> 00:38:52,440
last year's number was around 18,000 so

866
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,880
the net numbers around 4,000 it's just

867
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,560
the fact you're not you're not missing

868
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,400
anything it's just the number should be

869
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,400
on this side of December 31st or that

870
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,280
side of December 31st but it it's being

871
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,440
presented the way you budget it so so as

872
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,640
a result then we we have no no issues

873
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,240
with it but we are just obligated to

874
00:39:11,240 --> 00:39:14,910
make you aware of

875
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,520
that and then next coming along uh to

876
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,839
actual some some numbers um So within

877
00:39:21,839 --> 00:39:24,400
PAB you are um required to report your

878
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,440
assets being either Financial Financial

879
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,839
assets and non-financial assets so

880
00:39:29,839 --> 00:39:32,640
Financial assets are items that are cash

881
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,680
or can be turned into Cash ideally

882
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,240
um and then your non-financial assets

883
00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:41,440
would be your tangible Capital assets

884
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,000
like your your roads and your buildings

885
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,720
and and those type of things that that

886
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:49,079
you don't normally turn around and and

887
00:39:49,079 --> 00:39:51,000
convert to cash because you don't sell

888
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,400
them um ideally if you if you could

889
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,839
sell I'm I'm sure you wouldn't mind

890
00:39:57,839 --> 00:40:00,400
doing that yeah but yeah so I mean

891
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,319
that's that's the main difference there

892
00:40:02,319 --> 00:40:04,839
so um so overall your your cash remains

893
00:40:04,839 --> 00:40:07,640
fairly consistent with the prior year um

894
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,200
you did complete a lot during the year

895
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:14,200
but uh in the end it all remained fairly consistent and that's um the

896
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:15,880
components of that is that you have

897
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,280
about $5.5 million in reserves and about

898
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,880
$2.3 million in um deferred revenue

899
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,359
obligatory Reserve funds so that so that

900
00:40:25,359 --> 00:40:27,920
means you have all of your reserves in

901
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,520
cash as well as most of your um

902
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,280
obligatory Reserve funds so that's why

903
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,000
your your cash balance is where it's at

904
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,119
um you have the small investment um

905
00:40:38,119 --> 00:40:40,599
continuing to carry forward um your

906
00:40:40,599 --> 00:40:42,359
account's receivable um you can see

907
00:40:42,359 --> 00:40:44,160
there is up a fair bit from the prior

908
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,280
year and majority of that is all related

909
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,280
to the uh HST rebate rebate that you're

910
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:53,079
entitled to get and which of course um

911
00:40:53,079 --> 00:40:55,200
then they get filed after the year end

912
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,880
and of course with the large addition uh

913
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,520
put on the Public Works building you had

914
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,200
a lot more expenditures that would

915
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,319
attract HST which means your rebate

916
00:41:03,319 --> 00:41:04,440
would be

917
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:08,440
higher that's the main change there um

918
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,440
your taxes receivable you can see there

919
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:14,880
that um in 2021 that they were they were

920
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,480
the um fairly low the lowest point in

921
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,319
the last five years whereas they did

922
00:41:19,319 --> 00:41:22,599
increase um in 2022 but still overall

923
00:41:22,599 --> 00:41:24,760
when you include penalty and

924
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,520
interest the 20 22 amount is

925
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:32,119
8.37% of the total Levy um so that's

926
00:41:32,119 --> 00:41:34,880
still considered to be within the

927
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,800
lowrisk range set by the ministry so no

928
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,280
issues there so um the one thing to keep

929
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,760
in mind too though you pay the county

930
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,000
and the school boards every quarter

931
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,920
regardless of whether you've collected

932
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,960
the money from the rate payer so um you

933
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,160
are the banker in this situation so um

934
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,359
it's it's always good to keep an eye on

935
00:41:55,359 --> 00:41:57,119
that so that the number is get not

936
00:41:57,119 --> 00:41:58,599
getting too high but as I said you're

937
00:41:58,599 --> 00:42:01,680
still in the lowrisk range

938
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,760
there then the following slide just

939
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:07,880
gives you a a bar chart of where that is

940
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:12,520
at and then um next

941
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,079
uh slide just uh shows who you owe money

942
00:42:16,079 --> 00:42:20,079
to um so under under PAB um There's no

943
00:42:20,079 --> 00:42:22,079
distinction between current and longterm

944
00:42:22,079 --> 00:42:24,559
it's just these are the amounts you owe

945
00:42:24,559 --> 00:42:27,119
to others first off is your accounts

946
00:42:27,119 --> 00:42:29,960
payable and acred liabilities um with

947
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,720
some construction going on

948
00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:37,000
um at the and AC acrs for that um your

949
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,240
accounts payable did increase your trade

950
00:42:39,240 --> 00:42:41,359
payables went up at the end of the year

951
00:42:41,359 --> 00:42:43,720
but also within their your deposits you

952
00:42:43,720 --> 00:42:46,359
have from developers or in there um

953
00:42:46,359 --> 00:42:51,240
items uh such as regular acrs for both

954
00:42:51,240 --> 00:42:56,440
um um salaries and uh related items as

955
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,660
well too um there's about

956
00:42:58,660 --> 00:42:59,839
[Music]

957
00:42:59,839 --> 00:43:02,680
$229,000 from R payers who have credit

958
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,720
balances on their accounts so for

959
00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:06,319
financial statement purposes they get

960
00:43:06,319 --> 00:43:09,040
moved out of your reducing your taxes

961
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:10,720
receivable in into

962
00:43:10,720 --> 00:43:13,079
payables um so therefore th those are

963
00:43:13,079 --> 00:43:15,920
the uh major components

964
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,480
there um next we have uh something

965
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,480
unique for um most accounting is your

966
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,240
deferred revenue obligatory Reserve

967
00:43:23,240 --> 00:43:26,520
funds which represents um about one .9

968
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:30,280
million in development charges um the

969
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,200
federal gas tax are Canada community

970
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:33,880
building fund as it's known now for

971
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,440
about 300,000 and Parkland fees are

972
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,599
about $60,000

973
00:43:38,599 --> 00:43:41,240
so this is different um in the fact that

974
00:43:41,240 --> 00:43:43,319
you've collected these monies and these

975
00:43:43,319 --> 00:43:45,000
monies are are sitting in your bank

976
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,240
account it's just that they don't become

977
00:43:47,240 --> 00:43:50,599
Revenue until you use them in accordance

978
00:43:50,599 --> 00:43:52,800
with the requirements that that are

979
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,760
placed on those monies so you so like

980
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,920
this year you collected in the and in

981
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,160
the past you collected development

982
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,640
charges but you Ed 300,000 of that for

983
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,520
the new Public Works facility and so

984
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,079
therefore the that that balance remained

985
00:44:10,079 --> 00:44:13,280
fairly consistent year toe um you didn't

986
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:16,160
use as much uh gas STX as you received

987
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,160
so the balance went up slightly so the

988
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,079
so these are items when you take a look

989
00:44:21,079 --> 00:44:25,160
at the reserves of about 5.5 million um

990
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,240
that that number there the 2.3 almost

991
00:44:27,240 --> 00:44:29,079
gives you what you have in your bank

992
00:44:29,079 --> 00:44:31,839
accounts so that's why that's why you

993
00:44:31,839 --> 00:44:33,400
get to that balance um your other

994
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,520
deferred revenue majority of that is

995
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,880
related to uh some grants that you've

996
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:41,240
received but um haven't fully spent

997
00:44:41,240 --> 00:44:43,559
yet and then the one big noticeable

998
00:44:43,559 --> 00:44:45,599
change here of course is your increasing

999
00:44:45,599 --> 00:44:47,119
your long-term debt as you borrowed the

1000
00:44:47,119 --> 00:44:49,920
$3 million for the public works addition

1001
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:51,960
but still then paying off your previous

1002
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,599
debenture I believe for the library and

1003
00:44:55,599 --> 00:44:58,720
another Public Works library was paid

1004
00:44:58,720 --> 00:45:01,400
for I believe I think this is the fire

1005
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,280
sorry yes but there one there was one

1006
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,040
paid off the original one that was split

1007
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:06,720
yeah there was a roads one and the

1008
00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:10,319
library was paid off about 2020 or 21 it

1009
00:45:10,319 --> 00:45:15,520
actually finished in 2022 yeah okay yeah so yeah so that's uh so those so

1010
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,000
right now all you have left is the $3

1011
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:18,720
million for the new Public Works

1012
00:45:18,720 --> 00:45:23,760
facility and the balances for the fire

1013
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,480
hall and then of course uh you see there

1014
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,400
that um the fiveyear graph of that and

1015
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,800
you can see there with the additions for

1016
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:34,640
both the fire hall debt and and the

1017
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:38,200
Public Works debt um the yellow bar has

1018
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,760
been increasing but of course as your

1019
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,200
assets age um they are expensive to

1020
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,599
replace but you are uh you are required

1021
00:45:46,599 --> 00:45:49,440
to do that so um then the following page

1022
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,920
is just showing your breakdown of uh

1023
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,440
what your net Financial assets are

1024
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,599
um and you can see there that uh there's

1025
00:45:57,599 --> 00:45:59,200
a little less than about a $3 million

1026
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,559
change there and that's all entirely

1027
00:46:01,559 --> 00:46:03,960
related to the uh $3 million in

1028
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,160
additional debt but then as well too

1029
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:07,520
when you look at your non-financial

1030
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,000
assets under your tangible Capital

1031
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,040
assets of course you got about a $3

1032
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,720
million increase there so basically it's

1033
00:46:13,720 --> 00:46:17,079
flipped from um from above above the

1034
00:46:17,079 --> 00:46:18,839
line in net Financial assets down to

1035
00:46:18,839 --> 00:46:20,440
tangible Capital assets and then you

1036
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,800
still have some prepaid expenses and

1037
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,440
some inventories of sand and salt that

1038
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,400
uh you will utilize moving

1039
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,599
forward then the following slide gives

1040
00:46:30,599 --> 00:46:32,720
you a bit of

1041
00:46:32,720 --> 00:46:35,640
a a walk through and Reconciliation as

1042
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,520
to the um revenues and expenses and the

1043
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,720
annual PAB Surplus and deficit um in

1044
00:46:41,720 --> 00:46:44,319
comparison to uh and reconciles that

1045
00:46:44,319 --> 00:46:45,760
back to zero as that's how you're

1046
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,359
supposed to budget for your tax rate

1047
00:46:47,359 --> 00:46:49,280
budget so as you can see there in the

1048
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,119
First Column under budget um PAB was

1049
00:46:52,119 --> 00:46:53,640
showing that you were going to have a of

1050
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,319
a loss of 129,000 but then when you um

1051
00:46:57,319 --> 00:47:00,520
take account for the items that um are

1052
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,359
adjustments for PAB related things you

1053
00:47:03,359 --> 00:47:05,319
can see there that they

1054
00:47:05,319 --> 00:47:07,880
do that first column does come back to

1055
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,400
zero of course majority of that is uh

1056
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,040
the treatment of tangible Capital assets

1057
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,800
and the use of reserve and Reserve funds

1058
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,119
and long-term debt as

1059
00:47:18,119 --> 00:47:20,559
well then you can see there on the the

1060
00:47:20,559 --> 00:47:25,280
actual side for 2022 um you did have a a

1061
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:26,319
piece of

1062
00:47:26,319 --> 00:47:30,319
Surplus and um a lot of that do um but

1063
00:47:30,319 --> 00:47:32,920
then on the reconciliation part you can

1064
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,839
see there that it does come back to zero

1065
00:47:34,839 --> 00:47:38,160
as you did transfer um uh any surplus

1066
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,440
amounts you had remaining over into

1067
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,559
Reserves at the end of the year and you

1068
00:47:42,559 --> 00:47:45,680
can see there the one spot you you will

1069
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,839
just see this uh on on this presentation

1070
00:47:48,839 --> 00:47:50,480
it's the purchase of tangible Capital

1071
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:51,800
assets you can see there this year was

1072
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:59,670
$5.2 Million about 900,000 below budget

1073
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,960
there um both your uh accumulated

1074
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,000
Surplus and your tangible Capital assets

1075
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,000
and uh one thing I'd like to point out

1076
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,720
here is that um your goal here is to

1077
00:48:09,720 --> 00:48:11,920
have your orange bar to be higher than

1078
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,000
your blue bar which means you do have

1079
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:15,640
more Equity than what you have tied up

1080
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,599
in your Capital so you can see there

1081
00:48:18,599 --> 00:48:21,520
with uh

1082
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:23,920
um got a little closer there because of

1083
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,079
course you added a large um

1084
00:48:27,079 --> 00:48:28,960
amount to your tangible Capital assets

1085
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,119
this

1086
00:48:30,119 --> 00:48:32,559
year next we come to your revenue and

1087
00:48:32,559 --> 00:48:34,680
expenses and annual Surplus on a PAB

1088
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:38,079
basis for the last five years and uh

1089
00:48:38,079 --> 00:48:40,119
that gray bar being your annual Surplus

1090
00:48:40,119 --> 00:48:44,760
or deficit um you can see there um as

1091
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,119
your designed that doesn't vary that

1092
00:48:47,119 --> 00:48:50,520
much but uh it it will depending on the

1093
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,520
capital addition so that don't be

1094
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,079
surprised some years the the bar will be

1095
00:48:55,079 --> 00:48:57,160
below the line being a deficit and then

1096
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,559
above above the line when you do have a

1097
00:48:59,559 --> 00:49:02,400
lot of uh Capital grants for tangible

1098
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,400
Capital additions so that

1099
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,920
um and that's that's just the way P of

1100
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,440
works because it um you recognize the

1101
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,960
revenue when you get it but you don't

1102
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,160
incur the expense until you depreciate

1103
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,319
that asset so it could be 40 years 40

1104
00:49:18,319 --> 00:49:21,119
years later that uh it all comes back to

1105
00:49:21,119 --> 00:49:22,799
be being equal again depending on how

1106
00:49:22,799 --> 00:49:24,559
long you're depreciating the asset for

1107
00:49:24,559 --> 00:49:27,240
us

1108
00:49:27,240 --> 00:49:29,079
um next we take a look at your revenues

1109
00:49:29,079 --> 00:49:32,280
on a PAB basis and you can see there

1110
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:36,880
um being uh being over budget um and

1111
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:40,319
there were a few items to note there

1112
00:49:40,319 --> 00:49:44,119
um your user charges uh just to point

1113
00:49:44,119 --> 00:49:46,119
out so that that includes things such as

1114
00:49:46,119 --> 00:49:52,440
your building your building permits your Arena fees your the the water fees

1115
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,079
that you charge to your residents as

1116
00:49:54,079 --> 00:49:56,400
well so all of those items are within

1117
00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:00,160
there um and and as well too both fire

1118
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,680
calls um are in there as well so that

1119
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,079
number was a fair bit higher than budget

1120
00:50:05,079 --> 00:50:07,599
so that's causing um part of the

1121
00:50:07,599 --> 00:50:10,839
variance from budget to actual so and as

1122
00:50:10,839 --> 00:50:13,040
well to building permits was another

1123
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:16,119
large component of that um under

1124
00:50:16,119 --> 00:50:17,839
government transfers uh within your

1125
00:50:17,839 --> 00:50:20,799
provincial revenues um were about $1.3

1126
00:50:20,799 --> 00:50:24,680
million ompf is about 530,000 of that

1127
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:29,440
and 6 25,000 for uh ocif and that was

1128
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:31,960
for both roads reconstruction and Roads

1129
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:34,640
resurfacing so that's

1130
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,640
um the larger components there and you

1131
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:42,280
did uh um get an isit grant for uh

1132
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:46,400
funding um for uh for um Recreation and

1133
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,599
Trails um and that's included in there

1134
00:50:48,599 --> 00:50:53,920
as well um and I think the one thing uh

1135
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,400
there the Canada community building fund

1136
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,319
so that was also utilized as I said

1137
00:50:58,319 --> 00:51:05,040
earlier your gas STX for um for roads work as well and then your other

1138
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:06,640
Revenue this year um you can see there

1139
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,480
it's a fair bit higher included within

1140
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:11,640
that is your uh interest in uh earned on

1141
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:13,480
your on your amounts um with the higher

1142
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:15,760
interest rates um you did better there

1143
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:17,559
as well too you recognized um some

1144
00:51:17,559 --> 00:51:19,760
monies that you received from Township

1145
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,799
Hamilton related to the animal shelter

1146
00:51:21,799 --> 00:51:24,359
and and the and the windup of that

1147
00:51:24,359 --> 00:51:26,760
organization so that those are some of

1148
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:28,640
the larger components within that line

1149
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:30,760
item then on the following slide you

1150
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:34,440
will see the uh the pie chart of that of

1151
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,119
course you like most most area

1152
00:51:37,119 --> 00:51:40,640
municipalities uh um property taxation

1153
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,240
is your main source of funding the

1154
00:51:43,240 --> 00:51:45,720
following slide then just gives you uh

1155
00:51:45,720 --> 00:51:48,240
an idea of your expenses um on a PAB

1156
00:51:48,240 --> 00:51:51,359
basis and you can see there um your um

1157
00:51:51,359 --> 00:51:54,400
overall your expenses were were higher

1158
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,079
um than budget um there were a number of

1159
00:51:57,079 --> 00:51:59,720
things uh within the protection services

1160
00:51:59,720 --> 00:52:02,720
area related to fire both uh and as well

1161
00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:05,280
too within Transportation related to the

1162
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:09,040
additional cost for fuel for vehicles so

1163
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,559
um let's had a major impact uh in a lot

1164
00:52:12,559 --> 00:52:14,960
of municipalities um and as well too

1165
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,079
when you look at Protection Services it

1166
00:52:17,079 --> 00:52:19,960
does include fire policing conservation

1167
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:23,440
authorities um building and um

1168
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,119
protective inspection and control

1169
00:52:26,119 --> 00:52:29,760
um Environmental Services um that that

1170
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,000
relates entirely to the to the water

1171
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,000
system Health Services uh relates to the

1172
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:36,720
operations of the

1173
00:52:36,720 --> 00:52:41,640
cemeteries um Recreation and culture um

1174
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,400
there was some variance there for both

1175
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:46,839
uh additional costs related um for both

1176
00:52:46,839 --> 00:52:49,079
parks and recreational facilities um

1177
00:52:49,079 --> 00:52:52,280
with um further opening of

1178
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:55,319
U of uh or the lessening of restrictions

1179
00:52:55,319 --> 00:52:57,359
as well there's more activity within at

1180
00:52:57,359 --> 00:52:59,760
the arena and as well to Planning and

1181
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,319
Development was under budget as most

1182
00:53:02,319 --> 00:53:05,880
items were just lower than budget then

1183
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:07,640
the following slide you can see there

1184
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,680
the um transportation services is the

1185
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,000
largest

1186
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,960
component for the

1187
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:16,920
municipality and then when you take a

1188
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:18,839
look at the following slide it just

1189
00:53:18,839 --> 00:53:21,119
provides the same numbers just in a

1190
00:53:21,119 --> 00:53:22,520
different

1191
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,160
breakdown

1192
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:28,520
um and you'll see there too that

1193
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,880
um when you look at contracted Services

1194
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,400
um little over a million dollars of that

1195
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:35,760
is related to

1196
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:39,359
policing um and and within external

1197
00:53:39,359 --> 00:53:41,640
transfers majority of that is related to

1198
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:43,400
um monies you pay over to the

1199
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,680
conservation Authority and then as well

1200
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,480
too with amortization um there were a

1201
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,280
number of Roads um that were fully

1202
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,040
amortized um so therefore the

1203
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:54,839
amortization in the prior year so

1204
00:53:54,839 --> 00:53:57,920
therefore your amortization was down but

1205
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,119
I suspect in next year it will start to

1206
00:54:00,119 --> 00:54:01,799
increase with the amortization of the

1207
00:54:01,799 --> 00:54:03,520
new Public Works

1208
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:05,680
Edition then you can see there this

1209
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,640
segmented um information provided in the

1210
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,880
pie chart um next we come along to uh

1211
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,920
your accumulated Surplus so this um

1212
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,040
gives you an idea as to um of your

1213
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,319
accumulated Surplus the $24 million what

1214
00:54:20,319 --> 00:54:21,839
the major components are there and you

1215
00:54:21,839 --> 00:54:24,280
can see there that um when you take your

1216
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:26,359
Netbook value have your tangible Capital

1217
00:54:26,359 --> 00:54:28,799
assets take away the debt associated

1218
00:54:28,799 --> 00:54:30,960
with them you can see there that um at

1219
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:33,040
about $18.6

1220
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:36,599
million of that is uh entirely tied up

1221
00:54:36,599 --> 00:54:38,799
in your tangible Capital assets so that

1222
00:54:38,799 --> 00:54:41,720
leaves the balance to be being reserves

1223
00:54:41,720 --> 00:54:44,160
as well a small Surplus for the library

1224
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,079
so it's nice to see there they mooved

1225
00:54:46,079 --> 00:54:48,359
from small deficit in the prior year to

1226
00:54:48,359 --> 00:54:51,720
a small Surplus position again in

1227
00:54:51,720 --> 00:54:53,960
2022 and then as well too you'll see

1228
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,520
there the um utilization of both the

1229
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,760
fire of the fire reserve so that that

1230
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:00,559
amount has went down for the acquisition

1231
00:55:00,559 --> 00:55:04,000
of um vehicle and equipment and then um

1232
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,680
your other major components within there

1233
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:09,480
are about $1.4 million for roads and

1234
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:13,799
about uh $42,000 related to Recreation

1235
00:55:13,799 --> 00:55:14,960
so

1236
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:17,319
that's when I said earlier you had about

1237
00:55:17,319 --> 00:55:21,200
$7 million in cash the $5.5 million in

1238
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,720
reserve so there's the components there

1239
00:55:23,720 --> 00:55:28,280
plus the 2.3 million in your um

1240
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:31,599
obligatory Reserve funds so that's um

1241
00:55:31,599 --> 00:55:34,000
just explains as to where where most of

1242
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,359
your cash resides and where it came from

1243
00:55:36,359 --> 00:55:37,839
and then as well the following slide

1244
00:55:37,839 --> 00:55:40,119
just gives you an idea of your reserves

1245
00:55:40,119 --> 00:55:43,280
over the last five

1246
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:46,200
years and then the following following

1247
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:48,599
slide just gives you an idea as the uh

1248
00:55:48,599 --> 00:55:50,559
as to your tangible Capital assets and

1249
00:55:50,559 --> 00:55:52,760
with the public works addition that's

1250
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,640
the increase there in building the

1251
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:59,880
vehicles relate additions relate to fire

1252
00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:01,640
majority of the machiner and Equipment

1253
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:05,760
relates to fire for the self uh Brea

1254
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:07,839
self-contained breathing apparatus and

1255
00:56:07,839 --> 00:56:09,799
then as well Parks and

1256
00:56:09,799 --> 00:56:13,079
Recreation um sorry roads and Roads and

1257
00:56:13,079 --> 00:56:16,200
Roads reconstruction are uh um what was

1258
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:19,200
done for the roads and bridges and then

1259
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,240
uh as well to land improvements relates

1260
00:56:21,240 --> 00:56:26,079
to uh work done the at the Ballpark

1261
00:56:26,079 --> 00:56:28,359
and then you can see your additions and

1262
00:56:28,359 --> 00:56:30,760
amortizations over the last five years

1263
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:33,520
and uh the large increases in 18 and

1264
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:36,319
2022 for the big

1265
00:56:36,319 --> 00:56:38,680
projects then you can see here with the

1266
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:42,000
average useful life and and as well with

1267
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,400
the addition of the uh both the fire

1268
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,640
hall and the uh addition to the public

1269
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:48,720
works you you have a fair bit of green

1270
00:56:48,720 --> 00:56:50,880
within the building so um of course the

1271
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:54,200
newer costs will create um more net Book

1272
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,200
value so that's that's why they're like

1273
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,200
that and then you can see there your

1274
00:56:58,200 --> 00:56:59,960
five-year trend on your net Financial

1275
00:56:59,960 --> 00:57:02,440
assets as I mentioned earlier that uh

1276
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,520
you move with the addition of the $3

1277
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:07,319
million in your debt for uh Public Works

1278
00:57:07,319 --> 00:57:09,000
addition then it it brought your net

1279
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,680
Financial assets down by almost that

1280
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,440
amount so but you're but you still

1281
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,079
remain in the black

1282
00:57:16,079 --> 00:57:18,559
there this a summary where things ended

1283
00:57:18,559 --> 00:57:21,000
up at the end of The

1284
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,520
Years thank you any questions for the

1285
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:26,559
previous

1286
00:57:26,559 --> 00:57:29,520
go ahead deputy mayor uh to your M loo

1287
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:33,640
um I I wanted to uh let you know it

1288
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:36,640
wasn't to do with this but

1289
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:40,240
um I found it quite interesting um the

1290
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:44,599
uncorrected Miss statements yeah and uh

1291
00:57:44,599 --> 00:57:47,920
thank you to Nicole she was able to

1292
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:50,200
explain it because it didn't make sense

1293
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:52,839
to me and I wanted to know where this

1294
00:57:52,839 --> 00:57:57,480
money was hanging out anyway uh all is

1295
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:01,720
well and uh one of the things is when uh

1296
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:05,200
if I may M logal as well uh when you are

1297
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:07,079
doing your

1298
00:58:07,079 --> 00:58:13,039
audit um you have a a level threshold

1299
00:58:13,039 --> 00:58:17,280
and a threshold yeah and if it's under

1300
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:18,640
the

1301
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:21,839
threshold um how would you explain that

1302
00:58:21,839 --> 00:58:23,720
better than what I

1303
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:27,039
would all right so when we set

1304
00:58:27,039 --> 00:58:32,920
materiality it gives us a guide and it provides us an idea as to how much um

1305
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:35,200
the extent of uh testing that we have to

1306
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:38,440
do when we work through um through it on

1307
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:40,240
a statistical sample

1308
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,720
basis um and then as well too it gives

1309
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,599
us a guide when when we compare

1310
00:58:44,599 --> 00:58:47,200
differences um at the end and that that

1311
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,039
one being one of them so um and

1312
00:58:50,039 --> 00:58:52,319
therefore as I said if it was larger

1313
00:58:52,319 --> 00:58:53,839
than a certain amount then we would ask

1314
00:58:53,839 --> 00:58:55,440
you to make an adjust

1315
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,680
but it was below that so we did we don't

1316
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:01,319
need an adjustment to be made but um

1317
00:59:01,319 --> 00:59:02,760
keep it doesn't mean though that we

1318
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:05,680
don't look at anything below that value

1319
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,480
yes so therefore um and and really for

1320
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:11,039
us to bring put things on the schedule

1321
00:59:11,039 --> 00:59:14,920
it's uh normally about 5% of materiality

1322
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:16,200
that that would go on there so it's a

1323
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:19,319
pretty low threshold so therefore um

1324
00:59:19,319 --> 00:59:22,960
it's just a a way for us to to tabulate

1325
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:24,720
those things that we're just not making

1326
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:27,000
a lot of small adjustments that aren't

1327
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:31,829
always needed yes yeah thank

1328
00:59:31,839 --> 00:59:35,440

luck in in this year and the years to

1343
01:00:09,799 --> 01:00:12,440
come well I I'd just like to make go

1344
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:15,200
ahead Mike you com yeah I did have just

1345
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:20,079
uh so through May logo I where do we

1346
01:00:20,079 --> 01:00:22,680
capture back

1347
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:27,000
taxes in our finances report so that the

1348
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:30,000
on the um Financial assets there's a

1349
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:34,440
line called taxes receivable so that includes all the taxes that

1350
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:35,680
everyone owes

1351
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,720
you so I think if you go back about $1.2

1352
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:40,839
million wasn't it something like that on

1353
01:00:40,839 --> 01:00:44,599
slide page five of the

1354
01:00:44,599 --> 01:00:46,160
slides

1355
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:49,799
um it's it's the single line and and as

1356
01:00:49,799 --> 01:00:51,440
I mentioned earlier that it's a one

1357
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:53,640
point almost $1.3 million at the end of

1358
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:56,119
the year and and that's everybody's

1359
01:00:56,119 --> 01:00:59,599
share so if somebody doesn't pay you you

1360
01:00:59,599 --> 01:01:01,280
still pay the county and school their's

1361
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:04,680
amount their amounts so it's about $1.3

1362
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,000
million at the end of

1363
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:11,000
2022 okay yes yeah and well I never

1364
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:14,039
thought of that before but of that $1.3

1365
01:01:14,039 --> 01:01:15,880
million we're only going to get about

1366
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:22,680
40% of it and and between the county and the uh and the education they're

1367
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:24,160
getting 60% but we're paying the

1368
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:28,760
interest done that 60% yeah you're forgoing that yeah for going okay

1369
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:31,039
yeah good point do you have another one

1370
01:01:31,039 --> 01:01:33,799
M yeah actually uh Deputy Mayor stobber

1371
01:01:33,799 --> 01:01:35,119
brought it up but she got an answer for

1372
01:01:35,119 --> 01:01:42,319
it it was one of my questions is what if you could just explain that that um

1373
01:01:42,319 --> 01:01:46,000
uncorrected misstatement yeah so so that

1374
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:47,960
in in your case that's all related to

1375
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:52,440
the the interest that's that's uring on your two

1376
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:56,079
debentures so you pay them twice a year

1377
01:01:56,079 --> 01:01:59,279
depending on the date you took them out

1378
01:01:59,279 --> 01:02:01,319
so I think the last one I believe came

1379
01:02:01,319 --> 01:02:05,319
out December the 15 so um there would

1380
01:02:05,319 --> 01:02:08,400
have been 60 days of interest on the $3

1381
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:10,079
million to take it to the end of the

1382
01:02:10,079 --> 01:02:14,200
year so that amount wasn't recorded but

1383
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,559
under P rules you're supposed to record

1384
01:02:16,559 --> 01:02:19,359
that so that's in the same applies to

1385
01:02:19,359 --> 01:02:21,720
the fire debenture so that's all it is

1386
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:27,480
so when you make your first payment in 2023 on the debentures that that

1387
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:29,680
number goes to zero then you make the

1388
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:31,880
payment again the following six months

1389
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:34,760
so that number will will be there um so

1390
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:36,599
unless you take on new debt that number

1391
01:02:36,599 --> 01:02:38,279
will be there every year but it'll just

1392
01:02:38,279 --> 01:02:41,880
keep going down yeah yeah thank

1393
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:44,359
you I just want to make a quick comment

1394
01:02:44,359 --> 01:02:46,520

01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:53,279
financial statement be received and

1420
01:03:53,279 --> 01:03:55,240
filed in a

1421
01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:58,319
second move by councelor Booth second by

1422
01:03:58,319 --> 01:04:00,520
Council rinworth any further

1423
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:03,079
discussion all in favor oh I have

1424
01:04:03,079 --> 01:04:06,240
question okay go ahead um these include

1425
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:09,039
the audited statements for the library

1426
01:04:09,039 --> 01:04:12,480
correct so can Council approve theirs or

1427
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:14,599
do you present that then to the library

1428
01:04:14,599 --> 01:04:16,480
and they approve it how does that

1429
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:17,760
Dynamic work since they're an

1430
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:21,799
independent board um well technically on

1431
01:04:21,799 --> 01:04:23,920
but from a PAB perspective that they are

1432
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:26,640
viewed is a board of the township so

1433
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:31,400
therefore um our our um view of that is

1434
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:33,240
then Council does have the ultimate

1435
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:35,240
responsibility for the overall reporting

1436
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:39,279

budget and the schedule can you tell us

1455
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:28,359
and I don't know whether you know or

1456
01:05:28,359 --> 01:05:31,119
maybe the CAO knows I think you did a

1457
01:05:31,119 --> 01:05:33,559
presentation Nicole back in September

1458
01:05:33,559 --> 01:05:34,400
about

1459
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:36,760
overages and we were supposed to get a

1460
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:39,119
report back from I believe it was fire

1461
01:05:39,119 --> 01:05:40,480
and from

1462
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:43,279
roads are are we getting that report do

1463
01:05:43,279 --> 01:05:45,000
you know when we get that report about

1464
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:48,510
the

1465
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:50,039
overages

1466
01:05:50,039 --> 01:05:51,640
on

1467
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,799
um so I have not seen seen anything as

1468
01:05:54,799 --> 01:05:59,760
of yet and I might defer to uh CEO Dave

1469
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,640
Dawson he might be able to give me some

1470
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,839
on that yeah sure I can comment on that

1471
01:06:05,839 --> 01:06:07,440
um Nicole and I are having a meeting

1472
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:10,240

1473
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:22,549
process okay thank

1475
01:06:25,559 --> 01:06:27,920
have a presentation from the community

1476
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:31,680
risk assessment and fire master

1477
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:34,839
plan and uh the Lumix group is going to

1478
01:06:34,839 --> 01:06:37,279

Grace Grace

1482
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:52,990
McDonald thank you please go

1483
01:06:53,000 --> 01:07:23,390
ahead

1484
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:26,670
to

1485
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:29,799
group um and I really want to just give

1486
01:07:29,799 --> 01:07:32,359
an overview today of the pro the two

1487
01:07:32,359 --> 01:07:35,520
processes that we have uh uh embarked

1488
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:41,309
upon because we've already we've already

1489
01:07:41,319 --> 01:07:43,799
begun so I'll just a little bit about

1490
01:07:43,799 --> 01:07:46,000
the lumex is is a large group of

1491
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:48,400
companies and

1492
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:51,039
um the company that I the part of the

1493
01:07:51,039 --> 01:07:52,640
group that I'm with is the government

1494
01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:55,319
services group so we are involved in

1495
01:07:55,319 --> 01:07:57,359
municipalities doing community risk

1496
01:07:57,359 --> 01:08:00,000
assessments and fire Master plans they

1497
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:02,039
um they work for different clients

1498
01:08:02,039 --> 01:08:04,720
across Canada and the US they have an

1499
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:07,200
aeronautic side they have an Explorer

1500
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:09,480
solution side so they they do an awful

1501
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:12,240
lot of different work um but the goal is

1502
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:15,520
always to inspire uh positive uh work

1503
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:18,159
and change in communities and to make

1504
01:08:18,159 --> 01:08:22,839
communities organizations stronger and

1505
01:08:22,839 --> 01:08:26,120
safer so here's our team so our project

1506
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:27,719
advisor and the vice president of

1507
01:08:27,719 --> 01:08:31,120
government services is Terry jery and uh

1508
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:33,679
bill lurmer is the lumex team lead and

1509
01:08:33,679 --> 01:08:36,520
he will be actually taking the lead on

1510
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:39,839
uh on these projects uh here and he has

1511
01:08:39,839 --> 01:08:42,080
a great deal of experience bill is still

1512
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:44,199
active in the fire service and also has

1513
01:08:44,199 --> 01:08:47,120
a great deal of business experience and

1514
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:49,799
then the rest of the team as you can see

1515
01:08:49,799 --> 01:08:52,679
uh many of them coming from uh the fire

1516
01:08:52,679 --> 01:08:55,199
service some of of them being uh being

1517
01:08:55,199 --> 01:08:57,480
currently active and some of them being

1518
01:08:57,480 --> 01:09:00,799
uh retired members um I will be

1519
01:09:00,799 --> 01:09:02,880
assisting Bill a little bit on this

1520
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:05,199
project and I come from uh the private

1521
01:09:05,199 --> 01:09:08,359
sector having 24 years experience in

1522
01:09:08,359 --> 01:09:12,470
fire safety and emergency

1523
01:09:12,480 --> 01:09:15,199
planning so the first uh document that

1524
01:09:15,199 --> 01:09:16,640
I'd like to talk a little bit about

1525
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:20,430
today is the community risk

1526
01:09:20,440 --> 01:09:22,679
assessment so the community or the

1527
01:09:22,679 --> 01:09:24,759
Ontario regulation for the community

1528
01:09:24,759 --> 01:09:27,040
risk assessments came into effect July

1529
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:28,279
1st

1530
01:09:28,279 --> 01:09:31,319
2019 this is where the province uh

1531
01:09:31,319 --> 01:09:33,640
declared that all uh municipalities and

1532
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:37,799
fire departments um conduct and uh and

1533
01:09:37,799 --> 01:09:41,679
uh develop a CRA the deadline for that

1534
01:09:41,679 --> 01:09:45,199
uh is July 1st 2024 so it is fast

1535
01:09:45,199 --> 01:09:48,239
approaching CRA is basically identify

1536
01:09:48,239 --> 01:09:50,759
and uh and look at Community risks from

1537
01:09:50,759 --> 01:09:53,239
a fire Services perspective so it's a

1538
01:09:53,239 --> 01:09:55,080
little bit different than the HD that

1539
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:57,560
you may have all already worked on

1540
01:09:57,560 --> 01:09:59,520
that's sort of more from an emergency

1541
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:03,520
management perspective so looking at a broader Spectrum whereas we're

1542
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:06,640
looking at the risks in your community

1543
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:09,320
um from a fire Services perspective and

1544
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:11,320
it really is a tool and it's going to

1545
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:13,920
help municipalities make decisions about

1546
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,719
fire protection levels of service what

1547
01:10:16,719 --> 01:10:19,080
your risks are and how to mitigate those

1548
01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:22,120
risks um in your

1549
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:24,640
communities so

1550
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:27,239
there are uh nine mandatory profiles

1551
01:10:27,239 --> 01:10:29,280
that we look at within the community

1552
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:32,199
risk assessment so we look at the

1553
01:10:32,199 --> 01:10:34,960
geographic profile and I already can

1554
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:36,960
tell you that you have a most

1555
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:40,199
interesting Geographic profile here in

1556
01:10:40,199 --> 01:10:43,719
on caldan just simply by by the virtue

1557
01:10:43,719 --> 01:10:49,640
of how your the the geographic area of your municipality and how it's laid

1558
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:52,800
out we look at your building stock so we

1559
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:55,800
look at some residential uh building

1560
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:58,199
stock we look at commercial building

1561
01:10:58,199 --> 01:11:01,719
stock industrial building stock um any

1562
01:11:01,719 --> 01:11:03,920
vulnerable occupancies that exist in

1563
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:06,280
your community and the risks that might

1564
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:09,600
be implied uh from that one of the new

1565
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:11,760
things that has uh that has come out is

1566
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:15,080
the fire Marshall's office um is now uh

1567
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:17,640
requiring municipalities to track

1568
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:20,719
lightweight construction so this is this

1569
01:11:20,719 --> 01:11:22,920
is fairly new and it's certainly a

1570
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:24,360
challenge

1571
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:26,400
um we have not come across a

1572
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:29,880
municipality yet that is actively

1573
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:32,400
tracking lightweight construction so

1574
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:34,239
it's something that will have to be in

1575
01:11:34,239 --> 01:11:37,280
place uh going forward um that that is

1576
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:39,719
now tracked and Community risk

1577
01:11:39,719 --> 01:11:41,679
assessments are developed and then it is

1578
01:11:41,679 --> 01:11:43,760
required that they're redeveloped five

1579
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:46,000
years down the road we certainly

1580
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:48,400
recommend that they're reviewed annually

1581
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:50,800
um and as things change uh the document

1582
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:54,400
becomes gets updated but in five years I

1583
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:56,480
think the requirement will still be

1584
01:11:56,480 --> 01:11:58,520
there for lightweight construction and

1585
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:01,199
hopefully um municipalities will will

1586
01:12:01,199 --> 01:12:04,159
have been able to do to do some

1587
01:12:04,159 --> 01:12:06,040
tracking um we look at all your

1588
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:08,000
demographics so we look at your

1589
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:10,560
population we look at the age of your

1590
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:12,760
population we look at the education

1591
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:15,920
level of your population we look at uh

1592
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:17,719
your cultural

1593
01:12:17,719 --> 01:12:20,400
backgrounds um we look at any obvious

1594
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:23,520
hazards that exist within your community

1595
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:25,560
we look at your Public Safety response

1596
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:29,239
entity so who other than your your fire

1597
01:12:29,239 --> 01:12:32,719
department are are you relying on to

1598
01:12:32,719 --> 01:12:36,960
respond um to uh to events um within

1599
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:39,280
your community and I think probably an

1600
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:42,760
example would be CN rail CP Rail um

1601
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:47,560
Ministry of Transportation where you're also uh you know relying on other

1602
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:50,719
organizations um to respond what are the

1603
01:12:50,719 --> 01:12:53,199
community services within your community

1604
01:12:53,199 --> 01:12:55,840
so so who within your community um is

1605
01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:58,679
able to respond and assist um in the

1606
01:12:58,679 --> 01:13:01,239
event of an emergency um they can be

1607
01:13:01,239 --> 01:13:03,960
Community groups you may have um service

1608
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:06,280
clubs um things like that so we'll look

1609
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:09,600
a little bit at that um economics again

1610
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:13,600
we'll look at at um the economic factors

1611
01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:15,800
in your community and that will be you

1612
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:17,679
know who are the employers where are

1613
01:13:17,679 --> 01:13:20,639
people working uh what are what's the

1614
01:13:20,639 --> 01:13:23,440
income level of of people within the

1615
01:13:23,440 --> 01:13:26,120
Community what are the economic factors

1616
01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:28,600
the challenges um within the community

1617
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:30,960
so we try and look a little bit at all

1618
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:33,760
of that and then the past events and

1619
01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:37,120
lost history so this is information that

1620
01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:39,120
uh We Gather through working directly

1621
01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:40,840
with the fire department with your fire

1622
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:43,920
chief and his staff so we're looking at

1623
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:46,840
what's happened generally in the last

1624
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:48,480
five years but sometimes there's a

1625
01:13:48,480 --> 01:13:50,199
significant event that might be just

1626
01:13:50,199 --> 01:13:52,639
outside that window so we certainly will

1627
01:13:52,639 --> 01:13:56,000
look at that too so uh past loss in

1628
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:58,560
terms of in terms of fire loss past

1629
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:01,320
history in terms of inspections um and

1630
01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:03,320
any other risk so if it's a weather

1631
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:05,320
related risk and there was a major event

1632
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:07,000
you know six years ago or seven years

1633
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:09,320
ago we're going to look at all of those

1634
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:11,639
things so those are the nine profiles

1635
01:14:11,639 --> 01:14:14,440
that we'll be examining to put together

1636
01:14:14,440 --> 01:14:17,159
the community risk assessment so it's

1637
01:14:17,159 --> 01:14:21,440
really about um evaluating the threat so

1638
01:14:21,440 --> 01:14:24,560
the likelihood and the con consquence so

1639
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:27,199
we look at the likelihood of Any Given

1640
01:14:27,199 --> 01:14:29,719
threat occurring in the community and

1641
01:14:29,719 --> 01:14:32,320
the way we do that is to look at that

1642
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:34,679
past event history and look at the

1643
01:14:34,679 --> 01:14:37,679
likelihood of that uh event occurring

1644
01:14:37,679 --> 01:14:40,480
again um the ofm states the fire

1645
01:14:40,480 --> 01:14:42,600
department should use a professional

1646
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:44,719
judgment along with historical

1647
01:14:44,719 --> 01:14:47,080
information about past incidents and How

1648
01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:49,880
likely it is for that event to occur or

1649
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:52,560
reoccur so then the consequence is

1650
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:55,280
always the PO potential loss losses or

1651
01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:58,560
negative effect negative effects that

1652
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:01,560
result in the community after emergency

1653
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:03,760
so there is a Formula that is used

1654
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:06,080
within the community risk assessment so

1655
01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:08,760
once we assess the likelihood and again

1656
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:12,520
looking at past events um and other

1657
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:14,440
information and then we look at the

1658
01:15:14,440 --> 01:15:16,880
consequences there's a formula in place

1659
01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:19,480
that gives us a number that sort of lets

1660
01:15:19,480 --> 01:15:21,679
us know whether the risk is a high risk

1661
01:15:21,679 --> 01:15:25,159
a moderate risk or a low

1662
01:15:25,159 --> 01:15:28,600
risk so it's important uh to identify

1663
01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:32,000
these risks um and uh which ones are

1664
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,719
likely to occur um and and what the

1665
01:15:34,719 --> 01:15:37,639
serious consequences are there you know

1666
01:15:37,639 --> 01:15:40,639
may may be after we identify the risk

1667
01:15:40,639 --> 01:15:42,719
then we can determine how to address

1668
01:15:42,719 --> 01:15:45,719
them so we start to look at uh risk

1669
01:15:45,719 --> 01:15:48,040
treatment plans for the various risks

1670
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:50,239
that we've identified in the community

1671
01:15:50,239 --> 01:15:52,600
so if an emergency were occur and the

1672
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:54,239
community has hasn't established

1673
01:15:54,239 --> 01:15:56,520
adequate response protocols the

1674
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:58,320
consequences you know could be more

1675
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:00,639
severe than if we've weighed that risk

1676
01:16:00,639 --> 01:16:03,040
decided is this a risk that we need to

1677
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:06,280
accept can we mitigate this risk if so

1678
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:08,360
how do we mitigate this risk is it a

1679
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:11,040
risk we can share with other entities so

1680
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:13,400
all of that uh is part of the the

1681
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:16,830
community risk

1682
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:18,880
assessment so our approach and

1683
01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:21,480
methodology methodology so we have a

1684
01:16:21,480 --> 01:16:24,600
team um so your team has uh has been

1685
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:27,280
selected and I'm very happy to be to be

1686
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:30,159
one of them we start to review the data

1687
01:16:30,159 --> 01:16:33,440
and uh as the chief can attest to we ask

1688
01:16:33,440 --> 01:16:36,520
for a great deal of data for for the

1689
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:38,760
community risk assessment so we look at

1690
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:41,159
the legislation we look at your you're

1691
01:16:41,159 --> 01:16:43,199
establishing regulating bylaws we look

1692
01:16:43,199 --> 01:16:45,560
at fire prevention policies if they're

1693
01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:47,960
in place we look at documents reports we

1694
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:50,600
look at maps and we conduct site visits

1695
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:53,120
and part of that process I think has

1696
01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:55,840
already has already been gone begun so

1697
01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:57,880
we engage with the fire chief the deputy

1698
01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:00,400
chief and any other Municipal uh

1699
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:03,040
stakeholders and then we analyze the

1700
01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:05,400
information consider what the best

1701
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:08,239
practices uh should be develop that

1702
01:17:08,239 --> 01:17:09,960
Community risk assessment and then

1703
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:12,760
develop the mitigation uh strategies for

1704
01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:16,270
those identified

1705
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:20,960
risks so just to give you some some uh

1706
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:23,719
understanding of how we measure the risk

1707
01:17:23,719 --> 01:17:26,800
so the categories are rare unlikely

1708
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:30,520
possible likely and almost certain so

1709
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:34,320
once we have an idea of the past history

1710
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:37,239
and what has occurred then we can begin

1711
01:17:37,239 --> 01:17:41,400
to to rate the likelihood levels so rare

1712
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:43,800
may occur in exceptional circumstances

1713
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:46,600
no incidents in the last 15 years

1714
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:49,159
unlikely could occur at some time if

1715
01:17:49,159 --> 01:17:52,280
circumstances significantly change 5 to

1716
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:55,280
15 years since the last incident

1717
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:57,280
possible would be might occur under

1718
01:17:57,280 --> 01:18:00,080
current circumstances one incident in

1719
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:03,360
the past five years likely will probably

1720
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:05,120
occur at sometime under current

1721
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:07,560
circumstances multiple or recurring

1722
01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:10,400
incidents in the past five years and

1723
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:13,159
almost certain expected to occur in most

1724
01:18:13,159 --> 01:18:16,239
situations unless circumstances change

1725
01:18:16,239 --> 01:18:18,679
multiple or reoccurring incidents in the

1726
01:18:18,679 --> 01:18:21,320
past year so the best example I could

1727
01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:24,800
give you uh of this would maybe be a

1728
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:27,760
residential residential fires so

1729
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:31,199
residential fires almost always uh are

1730
01:18:31,199 --> 01:18:35,239
in the almost certain or likely

1731
01:18:35,239 --> 01:18:37,480
category despite all the work that's

1732
01:18:37,480 --> 01:18:41,120
being done to prevent them

1733
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:43,800
um and then we look at the consequence

1734
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:47,000
levels of those risks so is it

1735
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:49,880
insignificant no life safety limited

1736
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:52,159
value or no property loss no impact on

1737
01:18:52,159 --> 01:18:54,480
the local econom economy and no effect

1738
01:18:54,480 --> 01:18:57,719
on General living conditions is it minor

1739
01:18:57,719 --> 01:18:59,920
potential risk to the life safety of

1740
01:18:59,920 --> 01:19:02,600
residents minor property loss minimal

1741
01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:05,199
disruption to business activity minimal

1742
01:19:05,199 --> 01:19:07,679
impact on General living conditions or

1743
01:19:07,679 --> 01:19:09,920
moderate threat to life safety of

1744
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:12,840
residents moderate property loss poses a

1745
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:15,239
threat to small or local businesses

1746
01:19:15,239 --> 01:19:16,880
could pose a threat to the quality of

1747
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:19,639
the environment major potential for

1748
01:19:19,639 --> 01:19:22,040
massive loss of life significant

1749
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:24,320
property damage significant threat to

1750
01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:26,840
large businesses local economy and

1751
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:29,440
tourism environmental impact causing

1752
01:19:29,440 --> 01:19:32,159
short-term partial evacuation of

1753
01:19:32,159 --> 01:19:35,159
residents and businesses or significant

1754
01:19:35,159 --> 01:19:37,280
loss of life property damage to a

1755
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:39,320
sizable portion of the community

1756
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:41,639
long-term disruption of businesses local

1757
01:19:41,639 --> 01:19:44,360
employment and tourism or environmental

1758
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:47,440
damage resulting in long-term evacuation

1759
01:19:47,440 --> 01:19:51,400
of residents and businesses so those are

1760
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:53,520
the things that we will be me measuring

1761
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:56,880
against once we have identified the

1762
01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:59,679
risks and this just shows you how it

1763
01:19:59,679 --> 01:20:02,480
comes across so when we're looking at

1764
01:20:02,480 --> 01:20:04,679
those two categories and again there's

1765
01:20:04,679 --> 01:20:07,000
also a number assigned once we run it

1766
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:09,360
through the Matrix but so if something

1767
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:13,000
is almost certain and it is going to be

1768
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:14,280
a major

1769
01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:16,320
consequence then it's going to score

1770
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:19,880
high if it's almost certain but the uh

1771
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:22,400
in it has an insignificant consequence

1772
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:23,280
and again

1773
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:26,679
probably uh motor vehicle collisions

1774
01:20:26,679 --> 01:20:28,880
would be would be an example where

1775
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:31,159
something is almost certain to occur in

1776
01:20:31,159 --> 01:20:34,080
the in the next year is the consequence

1777
01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:36,880
to the community in significant or minor

1778
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:39,440
yes so it's going to score in that in

1779
01:20:39,440 --> 01:20:42,790
that moderate

1780
01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:45,520
risk so then we start to develop the

1781
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:48,000
risk treatment plan so for each risk

1782
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:50,040
that we have scored through the Matrix

1783
01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:52,560
we will develop a risk treatment plan

1784
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:54,800
and and again it's an evidence-based

1785
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:57,560
approach most of this document is

1786
01:20:57,560 --> 01:21:00,600
statistical driven so it's not really an

1787
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:03,120
opinion piece we're really looking at

1788
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:05,639
the statistics at the numbers both in

1789
01:21:05,639 --> 01:21:07,159
this community and we're doing some

1790
01:21:07,159 --> 01:21:09,080
comparisons with numbers across the

1791
01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:11,600
province so again we're looking at the

1792
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:13,960
statistics then we will uh develop the

1793
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:15,440
risk treatment plans and they'll

1794
01:21:15,440 --> 01:21:18,159
consider the potential outcomes uh what

1795
01:21:18,159 --> 01:21:21,280
the proposed action should be um to to

1796
01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:24,560
mitigate those risks um they may

1797
01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:27,080
recommend training Service delivery

1798
01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:29,159
agreements um we may be looking at

1799
01:21:29,159 --> 01:21:31,760
different resource allocation or service

1800
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:33,880
level changes and those recommendations

1801
01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:36,280
will be in the risk treatment plan that

1802
01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:40,189
comes to

1803
01:21:40,199 --> 01:21:43,480
councel so the next document that we are

1804
01:21:43,480 --> 01:21:46,880
working on is the fire master plan so

1805
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:49,560
the risk treatment plan sort of lays the

1806
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:51,600
groundwork so you've identified the

1807
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:53,600
risks in your community Community we've

1808
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:55,520
looked at some strategies you have some

1809
01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:57,960
risk treatment plans in place and then

1810
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:00,920
that informs the fire master plan so the

1811
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:03,679
next piece is the fire master

1812
01:22:03,679 --> 01:22:06,239
plan so the purpose of the fire master

1813
01:22:06,239 --> 01:22:09,199
plan is really to ensure um that this

1814
01:22:09,199 --> 01:22:11,159
municipality's fire department is

1815
01:22:11,159 --> 01:22:13,199
compliant with the fire protection and

1816
01:22:13,199 --> 01:22:15,280
prevention act and any other uh

1817
01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:19,000
applicable legislation it will provide

1818
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:21,320
recommendations about appropriate levels

1819
01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:24,639
of service in public education in Code

1820
01:22:24,639 --> 01:22:27,040
Enforcement which is fire prevention and

1821
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:30,120
suppression it'll provide uh council

1822
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:30,840
with

1823
01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:33,679
information um to help make decisions

1824
01:22:33,679 --> 01:22:35,239
that are going to protect the lives and

1825
01:22:35,239 --> 01:22:37,760
property um of the residents and ensure

1826
01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:40,159
firefighter safety it will provide

1827
01:22:40,159 --> 01:22:42,239
Council and the fire chief with

1828
01:22:42,239 --> 01:22:45,120
budgeting and timeline recommendations

1829
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:48,080
it'll provide a guide for aligning uh

1830
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:51,239
available resources um as efficiently

1831
01:22:51,239 --> 01:22:56,550
and cost effectively as

1832
01:22:56,560 --> 01:22:59,480
possible so the areas of focus for the

1833
01:22:59,480 --> 01:23:02,639
fire master plan are governance fire

1834
01:23:02,639 --> 01:23:04,920
suppression and emergency response so we

1835
01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:06,840
look at the current level of service

1836
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:08,639
that you're delivering in these areas

1837
01:23:08,639 --> 01:23:10,840

pertaining to the fire department with

1883
01:25:22,480 --> 01:25:24,880
this be a good learning experience for

1884
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:29,000
Council or you don't want us

1885
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:31,719
there you might get the wrong answer I

1886
01:25:31,719 --> 01:25:36,189
that way I just put it out

1887
01:25:36,199 --> 01:25:39,119
there microphone uh through your

1888
01:25:39,119 --> 01:25:41,639
May Council St these uh first sessions

1889
01:25:41,639 --> 01:25:43,719
with the firefighters are designed to

1890
01:25:43,719 --> 01:25:46,360
not have Council present uh and in fact

1891
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:50,320
the fire chief is not welcome um so

1892
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:53,679
they're designed to get um honest and

1893
01:25:53,679 --> 01:25:55,520
open feedback from the firefighters

1894
01:25:55,520 --> 01:25:57,119
about how they're feeling how they feel

1895
01:25:57,119 --> 01:25:58,679
about the fire department and their

1896
01:25:58,679 --> 01:26:01,600
service and then the second session is

1897
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:03,960
scheduled with the officers so that the

1898
01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:06,280
firefighters uh supervisors are not with

1899
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:08,840
them either and then the supervisors get

1900
01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:10,880
to speak openly with the firefighters

1901
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:13,560
present uh because the fire chief Works

1902
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:16,639
handin hand with lumex uh and the team

1903
01:26:16,639 --> 01:26:19,320

1905
01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:25,119

1906
01:26:25,119 --> 01:26:28,320
your grace that um Council will be given

1907
01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:30,760
the same opportunity that was a question

1908
01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:33,920
that Terry jery had uh with me in the

1909
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:37,480
very beginning um some uh municipalities

1910
01:26:37,480 --> 01:26:39,719
don't include Council While others do

1911
01:26:39,719 --> 01:26:44,239
want that to happen so I express that was a necessity

1912
01:26:44,239 --> 01:26:47,600

1927
01:27:21,480 --> 01:27:22,840
an awful lot of these because there's

01:31:09,880 --> 01:31:13,040
today hello Susan how are you I'm good

1999
01:31:13,040 --> 01:31:15,840
how are you uh do you want to oh your

2000
01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:16,880
both there do you want to lead us

2001
01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:20,430
through your

2002
01:31:20,440 --> 01:31:23,840
report um I think it's just um a summary

2003
01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:27,040
basically of um where asset management

2004
01:31:27,040 --> 01:31:29,679
is right now and where it's going so

2005
01:31:29,679 --> 01:31:33,600
right now basically um I am reviewing um

2006
01:31:33,600 --> 01:31:38,239
the assets that we have um the actual

2007
01:31:38,239 --> 01:31:41,320
um report of the asset management plan

2008
01:31:41,320 --> 01:31:44,480
was done in 2021 so some of the

2009
01:31:44,480 --> 01:31:47,280
information that we have goes back to

2010
01:31:47,280 --> 01:31:50,520
2019 so some of it's there between 2019

2011
01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:55,320
and 2022 to so basically now I am going

2012
01:31:55,320 --> 01:31:57,400
through the assets trying to update them

2013
01:31:57,400 --> 01:31:59,400
to the current time for the last couple

2014
01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:01,360
years and any of the information that

2015
01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:03,679
needs to be added I'm going to have to

2016
01:32:03,679 --> 01:32:06,960
meet the senior um managers uh to go

2017
01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:08,639
through to make sure once I've got

2018
01:32:08,639 --> 01:32:11,080
things in can you either can you uh

2019
01:32:11,080 --> 01:32:12,800
excuse me for a second can you either

2020
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:14,159
try speaking a little bit closer or

2021
01:32:14,159 --> 01:32:15,719
further away from this speaker because

2022
01:32:15,719 --> 01:32:17,440
we're having difficulty

2023
01:32:17,440 --> 01:32:20,480
understanding can't hear me well we can

2024
01:32:20,480 --> 01:32:22,920
hear you but it's just

2025
01:32:22,920 --> 01:32:27,870
monly okay let me see if there's

2026
01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:30,280
that I'll try a headset and see if you

2027
01:32:30,280 --> 01:32:32,910
can hear me

2028
01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:37,350
better

2029
01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:40,119
okay hey can you hear me a bit better

2030
01:32:40,119 --> 01:32:49,189
now I think so you think

2031
01:32:49,199 --> 01:32:54,080
so hey I'm not sure if this headset is

2032
01:32:54,080 --> 01:32:55,639
working

2033
01:32:55,639 --> 01:32:58,480
properly yeah it's much better it's much

2034
01:32:58,480 --> 01:33:02,239
better perfect okay so basically now um

2035
01:33:02,239 --> 01:33:05,639
I'm going through and um updating the

2036
01:33:05,639 --> 01:33:08,119
assets uh to the present time to the end

2037
01:33:08,119 --> 01:33:10,239
of this year I'm going to meet with the

2038
01:33:10,239 --> 01:33:13,239
senior management team um to make sure

2039
01:33:13,239 --> 01:33:15,480
that what we've got in there which with

2040
01:33:15,480 --> 01:33:17,679
all the senior managers is

2041
01:33:17,679 --> 01:33:20,360
correct um and then once we're done with

2042
01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:22,159
that process we'll be start starting to

2043
01:33:22,159 --> 01:33:25,440
look at um we have to have our levels of

2044
01:33:25,440 --> 01:33:29,199
service in for uh 20 July 1st of

2045
01:33:29,199 --> 01:33:32,840
2024 so basically that process is um

2046
01:33:32,840 --> 01:33:35,840
looking through some of our um Master

2047
01:33:35,840 --> 01:33:38,400
plans um as you heard just they were

2048
01:33:38,400 --> 01:33:40,320
talking about the fire master plan and

2049
01:33:40,320 --> 01:33:42,440
having the levels of service in there I

2050
01:33:42,440 --> 01:33:45,280
do believe that most of um our Master

2051
01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:47,679
plans do not like looking at parks and

2052
01:33:47,679 --> 01:33:49,520
wck there isn't levels of service in

2053
01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:52,159
there so we'll be going through that um

2054
01:33:52,159 --> 01:33:53,880
working with Council and working with

2055
01:33:53,880 --> 01:33:56,159
staff to get appropriate levels of

2056
01:33:56,159 --> 01:33:58,239
service I'm doing training at the

2057
01:33:58,239 --> 01:34:01,480
present time as well to uh go through

2058
01:34:01,480 --> 01:34:03,320
with smaller municipalities and getting

2059
01:34:03,320 --> 01:34:07,360
the level of service um done for them

2060
01:34:07,360 --> 01:34:09,239
and just working with other ones in the

2061
01:34:09,239 --> 01:34:11,440
area so we're all kind of in the same

2062
01:34:11,440 --> 01:34:15,239
boat at this present time and then once

2063
01:34:15,239 --> 01:34:18,040
that is complete um at the end of the

2064
01:34:18,040 --> 01:34:20,119
year I'm hoping maybe to do another

2065
01:34:20,119 --> 01:34:23,600
presentation um looking at um the assets

2066
01:34:23,600 --> 01:34:27,560
that we have and doing a presentation uh

2067
01:34:27,560 --> 01:34:30,239
showing um you know for budgets and

2068
01:34:30,239 --> 01:34:32,600
Analysis and that how it can be helpful

2069
01:34:32,600 --> 01:34:35,000
for everyone at that

2070
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:38,560
point okay thank you anything

2071
01:34:38,560 --> 01:34:41,400
else if anybody has any questions with

2072
01:34:41,400 --> 01:34:45,119
regards to it yeah I I've got one Susan

2073
01:34:45,119 --> 01:34:51,239
uh do that's a short term for what for

2074
01:34:51,239 --> 01:34:53,280
that's um the software that we have

2075
01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:56,119
which is a decision optimization

2076
01:34:56,119 --> 01:35:00,239
technology okay okay um and I guess my

2077
01:35:00,239 --> 01:35:02,760
other question about how much time do

2078
01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:05,960
will the managers need to spend on the

2079
01:35:05,960 --> 01:35:08,400
with you on something like this do you

2080
01:35:08,400 --> 01:35:09,960
have a feel for that compared to what

2081
01:35:09,960 --> 01:35:13,390
you were doing in

2082
01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:16,239
2022 um I think it this point so we just

2083
01:35:16,239 --> 01:35:19,040
started doing this this year so um it's

2084
01:35:19,040 --> 01:35:21,760
a new position as you know so um so

2085
01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:25,080
nothing's been looked at since um you

2086
01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:27,239
have gotten the software back in

2087
01:35:27,239 --> 01:35:30,639
2022 so um it's going to be a little bit

2088
01:35:30,639 --> 01:35:32,679
of time with with each of the managers

2089
01:35:32,679 --> 01:35:34,199
just to make sure that what we have in

2090
01:35:34,199 --> 01:35:36,199
the system is representative of what

2091
01:35:36,199 --> 01:35:38,600
they have um things assets that they've

2092
01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:40,560
gotten rid of new assets that they've

2093
01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:42,600
gotten just making sure that it's all

2094
01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:45,320
correct so at this point I can't tell

2095
01:35:45,320 --> 01:35:47,040
you for sure how long it's going to take

2096
01:35:47,040 --> 01:35:48,800
but it's going to be a bit of a process

2097
01:35:48,800 --> 01:35:50,920
just getting everything updated is a bit

2098
01:35:50,920 --> 01:35:52,679
of a process

2099
01:35:52,679 --> 01:35:54,719
okay um and I know you mentioned it but

2100
01:35:54,719 --> 01:35:56,719
you're I at least I think you mentioned

2101
01:35:56,719 --> 01:35:58,719
that you're going to give us an update

2102
01:35:58,719 --> 01:36:00,000
by the end of the year or something

2103
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:02,320
along that line yeah year probably into

2104
01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:04,280
January once we've got all the assets up

2105
01:36:04,280 --> 01:36:06,280
to date then we can give you a better

2106
01:36:06,280 --> 01:36:09,239
overview of everything at that time

2107
01:36:09,239 --> 01:36:11,719

concerns are mainly during the the

again their yard and the backyard is

2156
01:38:16,320 --> 01:38:18,520
right there so it does I want to make

2157
01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:20,719
sure that the the road allowance for the

2158
01:38:20,719 --> 01:38:23,679

2159
01:38:23,679 --> 01:38:26,360

manager's recommendation regarding this

2179
01:39:07,560 --> 01:39:09,800

favor Mo motions car just motions car

2187
01:39:28,320 --> 01:39:31,960
but go ahead Mike yeah I just

2188
01:39:31,960 --> 01:39:35,239
um I I wonder what when Brian's putting

2189
01:39:35,239 --> 01:39:39,000
this report together if um I I don't

2190
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:40,199
know if he if he has anything he can

2191
01:39:40,199 --> 01:39:42,960
share with us today because I mean it's

2192
01:39:42,960 --> 01:39:45,880
um with the little park there and the

2193
01:39:45,880 --> 01:39:47,440
way Ontario Comes Around The Front

2194
01:39:47,440 --> 01:39:52,400
Street there um you know it's uh

2195
01:39:52,400 --> 01:39:54,719
you know it's it's a good used area down

2196
01:39:54,719 --> 01:39:57,000
through there that's all and I just

2197
01:39:57,000 --> 01:39:59,880
wouldn't want to create

2198
01:39:59,880 --> 01:40:03,040
more U issues than we're trying to

2199
01:40:03,040 --> 01:40:06,119
solve go ahead Brian yeah I guess I

2200
01:40:06,119 --> 01:40:07,840
should have maybe comment a bit more a

2201
01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:10,320
bit more counselors there in mayor logal

2202
01:40:10,320 --> 01:40:11,960
I did answer some of the questions that

2203
01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:15,320
come from Council I think from uh Mary C

2204
01:40:15,320 --> 01:40:18,400
there um you know on the monument uh the

2205
01:40:18,400 --> 01:40:22,280
kaying kayak using the road a gate uh

2206
01:40:22,280 --> 01:40:25,639
dust da is possible parking if access po

2207
01:40:25,639 --> 01:40:28,080
it would be an issue so I think that uh

2208
01:40:28,080 --> 01:40:29,719
council rinworth is talking about that

2209
01:40:29,719 --> 01:40:33,040
it is a you know a well used area and

2210
01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:35,520
again where it is on the curve on the 90

2211
01:40:35,520 --> 01:40:37,280
degree Bend there and stuff if we did

2212
01:40:37,280 --> 01:40:39,560
you know um restrict parking on the road

2213
01:40:39,560 --> 01:40:42,440
louns it would cause an issue out on on

2214
01:40:42,440 --> 01:40:44,000
the streets and stuff like that so I

2215
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:47,280
there's a few moving Parts in this um in

2216
01:40:47,280 --> 01:40:49,719
this report coming back so um that's why

2217
01:40:49,719 --> 01:40:51,520
I just want a little bit more time but

2218
01:40:51,520 --> 01:40:53,679
uh I think the busy time of the year is

2219
01:40:53,679 --> 01:40:54,880
coming up like probably after

2220
01:40:54,880 --> 01:40:57,480
Thanksgiving and you know late October

2221
01:40:57,480 --> 01:41:00,719
um the usage will slow down there so uh

2222
01:41:00,719 --> 01:41:02,320
it was my plan to bring a report back

2223
01:41:02,320 --> 01:41:04,440
here by you know uh by December early

2224
01:41:04,440 --> 01:41:06,679
December that this would be in place or

2225
01:41:06,679 --> 01:41:08,400
for Council to entertain my

2226
01:41:08,400 --> 01:41:10,679
recommendation so that in

2227
01:41:10,679 --> 01:41:14,159
2024 this is these issues uh that the

2228
01:41:14,159 --> 01:41:16,880
Cochrans have as well as taking

2229
01:41:16,880 --> 01:41:19,560
consideration of people that use this uh

2230
01:41:19,560 --> 01:41:21,480
aren't impacted too much as

2231
01:41:21,480 --> 01:41:23,560
well thank you

2232
01:41:23,560 --> 01:41:26,159
Brian yes go ahead through your mayor

2233
01:41:26,159 --> 01:41:29,679
logo Brian just a question if uh can you

2234
01:41:29,679 --> 01:41:31,880
tell the council what the financial

2235
01:41:31,880 --> 01:41:33,599
impact would be if we had to install a

2236
01:41:33,599 --> 01:41:36,159
Dust Till Dawn

2237
01:41:36,159 --> 01:41:38,920
gate because it would have right open

2238
01:41:38,920 --> 01:41:40,560
and closed every single day we'd have to

2239
01:41:40,560 --> 01:41:42,719
send staff down to do

2240
01:41:42,719 --> 01:41:45,199
that yeah and that probably wasn't uh

2241
01:41:45,199 --> 01:41:47,199
through you uh mayor logo that probably

2242
01:41:47,199 --> 01:41:48,800
wasn't going to be in my recommendation

2243
01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:50,960
to have that but I would probably have a

2244
01:41:50,960 --> 01:41:54,040
I don't know the cost now Dave but I I

2245
01:41:54,040 --> 01:41:56,239
would have that in my future report but

2246
01:41:56,239 --> 01:41:57,840
definitely would be the cost impacted by

2247
01:41:57,840 --> 01:42:00,920
that for sure no that's great Brian

2248
01:42:00,920 --> 01:42:02,119
that's what I wanted you to mention

2249
01:42:02,119 --> 01:42:05,480
thank you thank you Mike you got another

2250
01:42:05,480 --> 01:42:08,719
comment yeah so when when this came to

2251
01:42:08,719 --> 01:42:11,320
council it was about the uh the

2252
01:42:11,320 --> 01:42:13,360
headlights from the cars coming down and

2253
01:42:13,360 --> 01:42:15,159
turning to the left and shining through

2254
01:42:15,159 --> 01:42:18,639
their house so is there more to it now

2255
01:42:18,639 --> 01:42:20,400
if because we're talking about putting

2256
01:42:20,400 --> 01:42:25,639
gates up for the parking lot well Brian you've discussed this with him so

2257
01:42:25,639 --> 01:42:27,119
why don't we let Brian get his report

2258
01:42:27,119 --> 01:42:29,800
done first and then we'll see yeah and

2259
01:42:29,800 --> 01:42:32,159
if I could just add to it too mayor have

2260
01:42:32,159 --> 01:42:34,199
we thought about making from Front

2261
01:42:34,199 --> 01:42:35,760
Street and this is for Brian I guess

2262
01:42:35,760 --> 01:42:38,320
just something to think about from uh

2263
01:42:38,320 --> 01:42:39,719
making it from Front Street to the

2264
01:42:39,719 --> 01:42:42,360
laneway into the little park one

2265
01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:44,880
way and that I'm sure I'm sure he'll be

2266
01:42:44,880 --> 01:42:46,719
looking at all those different type

2267
01:42:46,719 --> 01:42:48,280
things it would sign of solve all the

2268
01:42:48,280 --> 01:42:51,560
lights flashing into their house

2269
01:42:51,560 --> 01:42:54,480
I'm sure he's looking at it okay okay

2270
01:42:54,480 --> 01:42:59,669
we're gonna move

2271
01:42:59,679 --> 01:43:02,199
on all in

2272
01:43:02,199 --> 01:43:17,950

October 3rd

2297
01:44:12,360 --> 01:44:15,760
2023 from the manager of Public Works

2298
01:44:15,760 --> 01:44:18,199
Parks and Recreation Brian McMillan and

2299
01:44:18,199 --> 01:44:19,880
I guess I'll take the first opportunity

2300
01:44:19,880 --> 01:44:22,080
Brian I know we' been working real hard

2301
01:44:22,080 --> 01:44:24,719
with the uh contractors and getting a

2302
01:44:24,719 --> 01:44:28,000
lot of the trees taken out the uh dead

2303
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:29,880
trees I expect those are most Emerald

2304
01:44:29,880 --> 01:44:32,560
Ash are we are we going to be faced with

2305
01:44:32,560 --> 01:44:35,199
the same uh issues and cost next year or

2306
01:44:35,199 --> 01:44:38,950
you think we're making some

2307
01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:43,239
Headway yep sorry three uh yes we have

2308
01:44:43,239 --> 01:44:45,840
our budget actually I think top is

2309
01:44:45,840 --> 01:44:48,560
around $ 110 $120,000 in our

2310
01:44:48,560 --> 01:44:51,239
2023 uh operational cost and I think

2311
01:44:51,239 --> 01:44:53,080
we're getting close to having that used

2312
01:44:53,080 --> 01:44:55,639
up here probably used up by the end of

2313
01:44:55,639 --> 01:44:59,159
October um do I see the same amount I

2314
01:44:59,159 --> 01:45:01,040
think we'll see a decrease a little bit

2315
01:45:01,040 --> 01:45:03,040
uh we did do quite a bit this year I

2316
01:45:03,040 --> 01:45:05,679
can't see an increase but uh again I'm

2317
01:45:05,679 --> 01:45:07,599
starting to work on the budget here now

2318
01:45:07,599 --> 01:45:10,040
um but there still is more we kind of

2319
01:45:10,040 --> 01:45:12,320
went from a a liability perspective and

2320
01:45:12,320 --> 01:45:13,719
kind of went to the high risk High

2321
01:45:13,719 --> 01:45:16,119
danger ones that we had calls from or

2322
01:45:16,119 --> 01:45:17,719
ones that were you know really close to

2323
01:45:17,719 --> 01:45:19,560
Road there's a danger of you know coming

2324
01:45:19,560 --> 01:45:22,280
across Road or fing onto the road so

2325
01:45:22,280 --> 01:45:24,119
we've got a lot of the a lot of those

2326
01:45:24,119 --> 01:45:26,560
down but there still is more and uh your

2327
01:45:26,560 --> 01:45:28,360
comment about the Emeral Ash that is

2328
01:45:28,360 --> 01:45:32,119
probably 80% to 85% of be the trees that

2329
01:45:32,119 --> 01:45:34,800
we put down was from the Amirage that

2330
01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:38,239
you know hel the trees so you know I I

2331
01:45:38,239 --> 01:45:40,440

01:46:38,080 --> 01:46:39,840
little ditching uh will get done that we

2357
01:46:39,840 --> 01:46:41,560

2358
01:46:41,560 --> 01:46:43,800
to continue on for years and years but

2359
01:46:43,800 --> 01:46:45,840
we're going to get the the ones that are

2360
01:46:45,840 --> 01:46:46,960

2361
01:46:46,960 --> 01:46:49,880
people have called in first Deputy Mayor

2362
01:46:49,880 --> 01:46:52,400
would you be able to put a list uh do

2363
01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:54,119
you have a list that you could publish

2364
01:46:54,119 --> 01:46:57,639
so people would know that you are going

2365
01:46:57,639 --> 01:47:00,520
to be doing that this

2366
01:47:00,520 --> 01:47:03,560

be the next two weeks uh you know Greg

2384
01:47:45,520 --> 01:47:47,280

week I would say and that's for the

2386
01:47:48,960 --> 01:47:51,280
black hatat equipment that's that's the

2387
01:47:51,280 --> 01:47:53,840

2397
01:48:19,880 --> 01:48:22,080
is I know coming into the meeting I saw

2398
01:48:22,080 --> 01:48:26,280
your staff at bevon Ridge Road so has uh

2399
01:48:26,280 --> 01:48:28,719
the rest of that road been completed by

2400
01:48:28,719 --> 01:48:31,119
the contractor that was given permission

2401
01:48:31,119 --> 01:48:34,280
to do that I'm going to say past Council

2402
01:48:34,280 --> 01:48:36,239
probably four years ago three years ago

2403
01:48:36,239 --> 01:48:37,800
did he finish

2404
01:48:37,800 --> 01:48:40,280
that uh threee mayor logo uh no

2405
01:48:40,280 --> 01:48:42,400
counselor Booth that's not complete yet

2406
01:48:42,400 --> 01:48:44,639
uh we're working on our part from the

2407
01:48:44,639 --> 01:48:47,080
current uh all year round Road allowance

2408
01:48:47,080 --> 01:48:49,719
we're doing that work and I'm still on

2409
01:48:49,719 --> 01:48:51,520
the contract contractor and the owner to

2410
01:48:51,520 --> 01:48:53,440
get that completed uh hopefully by the

2411
01:48:53,440 --> 01:48:54,920
end of the year it's still it's not

2412
01:48:54,920 --> 01:48:57,800
complete no so that that could possibly

2413
01:48:57,800 --> 01:48:59,760
be an issue with us than Brian because I

2414
01:48:59,760 --> 01:49:01,440
know you were holding off doing that

2415
01:49:01,440 --> 01:49:03,960
road because he's going to move heavy

2416
01:49:03,960 --> 01:49:05,880
construction stuff on there to finish

2417
01:49:05,880 --> 01:49:08,119
his so they're going to drive over our

2418
01:49:08,119 --> 01:49:09,719
road now that's all finished and

2419
01:49:09,719 --> 01:49:12,480
possibly damage what your crew is doing

2420
01:49:12,480 --> 01:49:15,239
now go ahead Brian um y three year M

2421
01:49:15,239 --> 01:49:17,400
logo um I was kind of concerned with

2422
01:49:17,400 --> 01:49:19,840
this earlier on counselor Booth but um

2423
01:49:19,840 --> 01:49:21,760
where we stopping the construction up

2424
01:49:21,760 --> 01:49:23,800
top uh there's room for them when the

2425
01:49:23,800 --> 01:49:26,639
contractors are going to drive from um

2426
01:49:26,639 --> 01:49:28,560
thoughts line up straight and they won't

2427
01:49:28,560 --> 01:49:30,360
be turning or moving around on the new

2428
01:49:30,360 --> 01:49:31,920
road so they'll be they'll be turning

2429
01:49:31,920 --> 01:49:33,599
equipment around beyond our construction

2430
01:49:33,599 --> 01:49:35,920
point so I have no concerns with a new

2431
01:49:35,920 --> 01:49:39,360
road being wrecked okay thank

2432
01:49:39,360 --> 01:49:42,199
you Mike did you have a comment yeah to

2433
01:49:42,199 --> 01:49:43,639
you mayor lo I just wonder if we taken

2434
01:49:43,639 --> 01:49:46,000
over the Glen of a and subdivisions yet

2435
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:47,560
that road they're the street going

2436
01:49:47,560 --> 01:49:51,080
through there go ahead Brian uh yes sure

2437
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,320
you mayor logo yes Council rinworth our

2438
01:49:53,320 --> 01:49:55,360
consultant uh that are doing the peer

2439
01:49:55,360 --> 01:49:59,159
review of the work done by the developer

2440
01:49:59,159 --> 01:50:01,119
and the report from their consultant is

2441
01:50:01,119 --> 01:50:03,280
currently being reviewed I don't have a

2442
01:50:03,280 --> 01:50:05,400
time frame I would hope think it would

2443
01:50:05,400 --> 01:50:08,679
be before um December 1st I could didn't

2444
01:50:08,679 --> 01:50:11,199
throw that date out but our peer review

2445
01:50:11,199 --> 01:50:13,119
consultant is working with their

2446
01:50:13,119 --> 01:50:15,199
consultant to make sure that whatever

2447
01:50:15,199 --> 01:50:17,280
was in the original subject agreement

2448
01:50:17,280 --> 01:50:18,760
there was an agreement with the

2449
01:50:18,760 --> 01:50:21,040
developer and municipality that all the

2450
01:50:21,040 --> 01:50:23,040
stuff is met uh because once we do

2451
01:50:23,040 --> 01:50:25,119
assume uh similar to we did up in the

2452
01:50:25,119 --> 01:50:26,599
north or not too long ago with the other

2453
01:50:26,599 --> 01:50:28,800
subdivision uh the township takes over

2454
01:50:28,800 --> 01:50:31,000
responsible any for anything that wasn't

2455
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:33,400
completed correctly so we're trying to

2456
01:50:33,400 --> 01:50:35,920
tie up the Loose Ends uh right now uh to

2457
01:50:35,920 --> 01:50:39,400
get that done so hopefully soon later I

2458
01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:41,000

2459
01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:42,599

01:53:36,239 --> 01:53:37,880
that's out of how many hours how many

2531
01:53:37,880 --> 01:53:40,480
hours is prime time at the

2532
01:53:40,480 --> 01:53:44,360
arena a week right it's a week it and

2533
01:53:44,360 --> 01:53:47,199
the weekends are considered prime time

2534
01:53:47,199 --> 01:53:50,800
um so it's after 4 pm during the week

2535
01:53:50,800 --> 01:53:54,800
days and all day Saturday all day

2536
01:53:54,800 --> 01:53:57,719
Sunday so I don't have it in front of me

2537
01:53:57,719 --> 01:54:01,440
but is it 4 to 11 or 4 to 12 on a week 4

2538
01:54:01,440 --> 01:54:07,000
to 11 so seven hours so that's 5times 7

2539
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:09,159
and what do you count as Prime Time on a

2540
01:54:09,159 --> 01:54:12,079
Saturday and a Sunday all day all day so

2541
01:54:12,079 --> 01:54:16,119
it would be from you know 8:00 am to

2542
01:54:16,119 --> 01:54:18,669
11:00

2543
01:54:18,679 --> 01:54:23,510
P.M

2544
01:54:23,520 --> 01:54:25,239
well

2545
01:54:25,239 --> 01:54:27,719
1530 so that's that's not a very

2546
01:54:27,719 --> 01:54:31,280
impressive number than the majority yeah

2547
01:54:31,280 --> 01:54:33,480
the major if we took out the Saturday

2548
01:54:33,480 --> 01:54:37,520
and Sunday um it it would be the

2549
01:54:37,520 --> 01:54:39,440
majority of the prime time hours that

2550
01:54:39,440 --> 01:54:42,360

you go ahead counselor Booth I guess one

2663
01:59:45,520 --> 01:59:47,000
more quick question for you maybe you

2664
01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:48,840
can explain it's on your report where it

2665
01:59:48,840 --> 01:59:51,119
says that that there's a resolution from

2666
01:59:51,119 --> 01:59:53,639
the committee from the July 24th meeting

2667
01:59:53,639 --> 01:59:56,199
regarding recommending that an ad hoc

2668
01:59:56,199 --> 01:59:58,480
working group be established to discuss

2669
01:59:58,480 --> 02:00:02,189
the rosneath fairgrounds

2670
02:00:02,199 --> 02:00:04,800
agreement is that coming to council then

2671
02:00:04,800 --> 02:00:07,880
for for us to discuss or

2672
02:00:07,880 --> 02:00:12,320
we we're just receiving this information

2673
02:00:12,320 --> 02:00:14,320
right that doesn't mean that we've

2674
02:00:14,320 --> 02:00:16,199
agreed to anything like that is it I

2675
02:00:16,199 --> 02:00:18,119
don't know well I I think if we're

2676
02:00:18,119 --> 02:00:19,880
approving the minutes

2677
02:00:19,880 --> 02:00:22,560
and that's a part of the agreement or

2678
02:00:22,560 --> 02:00:23,920
Pardon Me part of the minutes that

2679
02:00:23,920 --> 02:00:26,719
they've made that motion then then we're

2680
02:00:26,719 --> 02:00:28,679
agreeing that we're going to do that

2681
02:00:28,679 --> 02:00:30,440
okay I guess I'm I guess I'm not

2682
02:00:30,440 --> 02:00:32,400
comfortable with doing that well either

2683
02:00:32,400 --> 02:00:34,320
am I because I'm I'm going to mention

2684
02:00:34,320 --> 02:00:38,320
further along in our agenda under 152 we

2685
02:00:38,320 --> 02:00:41,880
have an update from the CAO regarding

2686
02:00:41,880 --> 02:00:43,920
putting a moratorium on all committee

2687
02:00:43,920 --> 02:00:46,280
meetings and subcommittees and stuff

2688
02:00:46,280 --> 02:00:49,159
like that and if we're talking about

2689
02:00:49,159 --> 02:00:51,599
ending all of that with from Dave Dawson

2690
02:00:51,599 --> 02:00:53,800
here we're looking at here saying that

2691
02:00:53,800 --> 02:00:56,280
we want to form a committee and I don't

2692
02:00:56,280 --> 02:00:58,159
think in all of my time we've ever had

2693
02:00:58,159 --> 02:01:00,920
an ad hoc committee working with staff

2694
02:01:00,920 --> 02:01:03,199
on an agreement with a private rental

2695
02:01:03,199 --> 02:01:05,280

02:01:05,280 --> 02:01:08,599

going to have it apparently but the

2779
02:04:54,199 --> 02:04:55,280
there was

2780
02:04:55,280 --> 02:04:59,000
142 uh the arena canteen update report

2781
02:04:59,000 --> 02:05:00,639
from Parks Recreation and culture

2782
02:05:00,639 --> 02:05:02,400
coordinator and I believe ncy you had a

2783
02:05:02,400 --> 02:05:07,709
quick comment on

2784
02:05:07,719 --> 02:05:10,280
that thank you through through you mayor

2785
02:05:10,280 --> 02:05:14,159
Lo logal um this report uh came forward

2786
02:05:14,159 --> 02:05:16,960
and it was uh published initially on the

2787
02:05:16,960 --> 02:05:20,559
agenda as you probably are aware of um

2788
02:05:20,559 --> 02:05:24,000
it does uh speak to some operational

2789
02:05:24,000 --> 02:05:26,840
matters that can probably be implemented

2790
02:05:26,840 --> 02:05:30,079
strictly through uh the the day-to-day

2791
02:05:30,079 --> 02:05:32,599
operations without affecting the budget

2792
02:05:32,599 --> 02:05:33,880
um

2793
02:05:33,880 --> 02:05:38,920
so the decision was made to pull it

2794
02:05:38,920 --> 02:05:42,320
okay and it come up again is it coming

2795
02:05:42,320 --> 02:05:44,400
up again

2796
02:05:44,400 --> 02:05:47,199
or go ahead Greg then I guess I have a

2797
02:05:47,199 --> 02:05:49,880
question is uh is Staff going through

2798
02:05:49,880 --> 02:05:51,159
and they're going to implement this

2799
02:05:51,159 --> 02:05:53,320
without it coming to council

2800
02:05:53,320 --> 02:05:55,400
or because that sounds like if you're

2801
02:05:55,400 --> 02:05:56,960
pulling it it means that you're going to

2802
02:05:56,960 --> 02:05:58,440
make it an operational thing and it's

2803
02:05:58,440 --> 02:06:00,239
and I'd like to discuss it if we're

2804
02:06:00,239 --> 02:06:01,840
talking about the snack bar because this

2805
02:06:01,840 --> 02:06:03,719
was a hot issue with the last Council

2806
02:06:03,719 --> 02:06:06,320
where we subsidize the canteen for

2807
02:06:06,320 --> 02:06:12,430
$6,500 a year

2808
02:06:12,440 --> 02:06:14,760
almost I would like the opportunity to

2809
02:06:14,760 --> 02:06:16,639
discuss it with staff I have a

2810
02:06:16,639 --> 02:06:18,199
conversation and a meeting set up with

2811
02:06:18,199 --> 02:06:19,199
Jennifer

2812
02:06:19,199 --> 02:06:21,280
tomorrow and we'll be discussing that

2813
02:06:21,280 --> 02:06:22,719
and we can come back to council with

2814
02:06:22,719 --> 02:06:25,199
some information um the plan that had

2815
02:06:25,199 --> 02:06:27,079
put forward was to have non-perishable

2816
02:06:27,079 --> 02:06:31,239
foods available um the request was to

2817
02:06:31,239 --> 02:06:34,079
operate at a zero budget impact so I

2818
02:06:34,079 --> 02:06:35,559
just want to have that conversation and

2819
02:06:35,559 --> 02:06:37,119
then we can come back to how that's

2820
02:06:37,119 --> 02:06:38,159
going to

2821
02:06:38,159 --> 02:06:41,760
work okay so does that mean you'll come

2822
02:06:41,760 --> 02:06:44,520
back to us before implementing it or if

2823
02:06:44,520 --> 02:06:46,639
discussions with her you'll implement it

2824
02:06:46,639 --> 02:06:50,679
and then come back and tell us that it's started no problem to come back

2825
02:06:50,679 --> 02:06:53,000
with Council if you'd like before you

2826
02:06:53,000 --> 02:06:56,159
implement it yeah because the the report

2827
02:06:56,159 --> 02:06:58,119
just to make a quick comment is a little

2828
02:06:58,119 --> 02:06:59,800
deceiving because it says there's no

2829
02:06:59,800 --> 02:07:02,159
Financial impact and there's not the

2830
02:07:02,159 --> 02:07:04,199
staff there is going to look after it

2831
02:07:04,199 --> 02:07:06,119
but that staff that is there to move

2832
02:07:06,119 --> 02:07:08,679
Nets clean dressing rooms go outside and

2833
02:07:08,679 --> 02:07:11,199
shovel snow will not be doing that if

2834
02:07:11,199 --> 02:07:12,800
they're sitting there selling a

2835
02:07:12,800 --> 02:07:16,239
chocolate bar or a cup of coffee so just

2836
02:07:16,239 --> 02:07:17,520
my

2837
02:07:17,520 --> 02:07:20,520
point

2838
02:07:20,520 --> 02:07:24,480
M um I'm just going to respectfully

2839
02:07:24,480 --> 02:07:27,119
acknowledge what our clerk said to us I

2840
02:07:27,119 --> 02:07:30,119
believe this is a management issue and

2841
02:07:30,119 --> 02:07:32,880
that's it makes sense that when

2842
02:07:32,880 --> 02:07:34,639
management decisions are being made

2843
02:07:34,639 --> 02:07:38,549
they're made by

2844
02:07:38,559 --> 02:07:41,559
management

2845
02:07:41,559 --> 02:07:47,510
okay we'll move

2846
02:07:47,520 --> 02:07:50,950
on

2847
02:07:50,960 --> 02:07:52,440
thank

2848
02:07:52,440 --> 02:07:54,679
you item

2849
02:07:54,679 --> 02:07:57,280
151 for those of you who may have

2850
02:07:57,280 --> 02:07:59,840
reviewed the council agenda package when

2851
02:07:59,840 --> 02:08:02,239
it was published last week the

2852
02:08:02,239 --> 02:08:06,239
2023 draft meeting calendar attachment

2853
02:08:06,239 --> 02:08:08,520
was since replaced due to a typle the

2854
02:08:08,520 --> 02:08:10,159
new attachment shows the months of

2855
02:08:10,159 --> 02:08:12,480
October November and December and the

2856
02:08:12,480 --> 02:08:14,199

2857
02:08:14,199 --> 02:08:17,440

2858
02:08:17,440 --> 02:08:20,950
year

2859
02:08:20,960 --> 02:08:22,559
so I'll read the resolution whereas

2860
02:08:22,559 --> 02:08:25,159
Council reviewed the information

2861
02:08:25,159 --> 02:08:26,880

this thank you through you mayor logal

2876
02:09:05,920 --> 02:09:08,159

2877
02:09:08,159 --> 02:09:11,320
self-explanatory but I certainly um

2878
02:09:11,320 --> 02:09:15,119
welcome any questions that Council may

2879
02:09:15,119 --> 02:09:17,639

2880
02:09:17,639 --> 02:09:20,840
m cman um mine is in fact just a comment

2881
02:09:20,840 --> 02:09:23,559
so I am very supportive of this in the

2882
02:09:23,559 --> 02:09:26,679
sense that its goal is to improve sta

2883
02:09:26,679 --> 02:09:28,440
productivity and I just want to

2884
02:09:28,440 --> 02:09:30,199
acknowledge to our fellow counselors

2885
02:09:30,199 --> 02:09:34,040
that um when we first came on we wanted

2886
02:09:34,040 --> 02:09:35,880
to make sure we were including the

2887
02:09:35,880 --> 02:09:38,280
public and that was part of the changes

2888
02:09:38,280 --> 02:09:40,559
that we made but I actually think

2889
02:09:40,559 --> 02:09:43,880
there's better ways to um include the

2890
02:09:43,880 --> 02:09:46,800
public and I think of the public meeting

2891
02:09:46,800 --> 02:09:48,880
we had about the new Dan for and how

2892
02:09:48,880 --> 02:09:50,800
those comments came forward that was a

2893
02:09:50,800 --> 02:09:53,920
very I felt a very constructive way to

2894
02:09:53,920 --> 02:09:55,960
be getting public comment coming forward

2895
02:09:55,960 --> 02:09:58,400
so there's different ways in our regular

2896
02:09:58,400 --> 02:10:03,559
meetings to get the public involved and we might want to be considering some

2897
02:10:03,559 --> 02:10:05,559
new things that I see in other

2898
02:10:05,559 --> 02:10:07,719
municipalities where there's you know

2899
02:10:07,719 --> 02:10:09,840
coffee with the mayor time those types

2900
02:10:09,840 --> 02:10:12,679
of things where we get a chance and you

2901
02:10:12,679 --> 02:10:16,960
know or counselor O'Neal time where you

2902
02:10:16,960 --> 02:10:19,840
know we are we make ourselves available

2903
02:10:19,840 --> 02:10:23,440
at a certain time and place to the

2904
02:10:23,440 --> 02:10:26,719
public any other questions or comments

2905
02:10:26,719 --> 02:10:29,440
Mike this mean when we have like a

2906
02:10:29,440 --> 02:10:30,679
regular meeting it's going to be like

2907
02:10:30,679 --> 02:10:34,229
400

2908
02:10:34,239 --> 02:10:38,079
Pages for you mayor um councilor anworth

2909
02:10:38,079 --> 02:10:40,760
it really just depends uh month-to month

2910
02:10:40,760 --> 02:10:42,840
on what items are coming forward a lot

2911
02:10:42,840 --> 02:10:45,599
of it is also dependent on the requests

2912
02:10:45,599 --> 02:10:47,559
that we get from members of council as

2913
02:10:47,559 --> 02:10:49,440
to what what reports they want to have

2914
02:10:49,440 --> 02:10:52,400
back so the length of an agenda is very

2915
02:10:52,400 --> 02:10:56,719
much um a moving Target okay

2916
02:10:56,719 --> 02:10:59,760
thanks what uh go ahead Greg through you

2917
02:10:59,760 --> 02:11:01,679
your worship but I guess that would be

2918
02:11:01,679 --> 02:11:05,400
my concern is um there's sometimes we're

2919
02:11:05,400 --> 02:11:06,800
having two meetings a month now and

2920
02:11:06,800 --> 02:11:08,199
there's sometimes we're having four or

2921
02:11:08,199 --> 02:11:10,599
five hour meetings and if we go to one

2922
02:11:10,599 --> 02:11:12,199
meeting my concern would be that we're

2923
02:11:12,199 --> 02:11:14,360
going to be here for six or seven hours

2924
02:11:14,360 --> 02:11:16,760
and just speaking for myself after three

2925
02:11:16,760 --> 02:11:19,639
four hours your brain with a lot of this

2926
02:11:19,639 --> 02:11:22,880
stuff you know is is mush and you're not

2927
02:11:22,880 --> 02:11:25,079
might not be making the right decisions

2928
02:11:25,079 --> 02:11:27,440
uh I have no issue with it I I think to

2929
02:11:27,440 --> 02:11:29,800
try it but I'd really like to see you

2930
02:11:29,800 --> 02:11:31,360
know we come back maybe at the end of

2931
02:11:31,360 --> 02:11:33,000
the year if we find that we're having

2932
02:11:33,000 --> 02:11:35,960
seven eight hour meetings then you know

2933
02:11:35,960 --> 02:11:37,440
I I think we're better to split it into

2934
02:11:37,440 --> 02:11:40,079
two then that's just my

2935
02:11:40,079 --> 02:11:44,119
comment I I'll make a quick comment um

2936
02:11:44,119 --> 02:11:47,280
December pardon me October and November

2937
02:11:47,280 --> 02:11:49,599
we would normally have three meetings

2938
02:11:49,599 --> 02:11:52,520
December we would have two January we

2939
02:11:52,520 --> 02:11:54,639
would have two that's all in our

2940
02:11:54,639 --> 02:11:57,159
scheduled historically in in December

2941
02:11:57,159 --> 02:12:01,790
and

2942
02:12:01,800 --> 02:12:06,320
January sorry about that so so by doing

2943
02:12:06,320 --> 02:12:09,000
that you're really going to reduce the

2944
02:12:09,000 --> 02:12:11,400
meetings for the rest of the Year by a

2945
02:12:11,400 --> 02:12:13,559
total of two meetings and I believe

2946
02:12:13,559 --> 02:12:16,199
personally I believe all departments and

2947
02:12:16,199 --> 02:12:18,719
particularly the clerk's department is

2948
02:12:18,719 --> 02:12:21,119
still trying to catch up from stuff from

2949
02:12:21,119 --> 02:12:23,199
last time so I don't have a problem with

2950
02:12:23,199 --> 02:12:25,599
in fact I think it's a good idea and I

2951
02:12:25,599 --> 02:12:28,159
know January we only have uh two

2952
02:12:28,159 --> 02:12:29,599
meetings in

2953
02:12:29,599 --> 02:12:31,679
January H but then we move into the

2954
02:12:31,679 --> 02:12:33,760
third one in February but my suggestion

2955
02:12:33,760 --> 02:12:35,880
would be to try it and and the other

2956
02:12:35,880 --> 02:12:37,960
part of it is I know budgets are coming

2957
02:12:37,960 --> 02:12:40,440
up in January February which does eat up

2958
02:12:40,440 --> 02:12:43,320
a enough a lot of time so my thought

2959
02:12:43,320 --> 02:12:45,480
would be to as as maybe Greg has

2960
02:12:45,480 --> 02:12:47,599
suggested give it a try for those five

2961
02:12:47,599 --> 02:12:51,960
months and then we play a premere after

2962
02:12:51,960 --> 02:12:55,040
that if I may mayor will go through you

2963
02:12:55,040 --> 02:12:57,400
um I I don't want Council to have the

2964
02:12:57,400 --> 02:13:00,520
impression that it's going down to one

2965
02:13:00,520 --> 02:13:02,920
basic business meeting a month so with

2966
02:13:02,920 --> 02:13:04,719
the planning meeting that's

2967
02:13:04,719 --> 02:13:05,920
traditionally known as the planning

2968
02:13:05,920 --> 02:13:08,040
meeting at the end of the month in the

2969
02:13:08,040 --> 02:13:10,520
past I know that there's been um a

2970
02:13:10,520 --> 02:13:13,280
concern to keep that strictly planning

2971
02:13:13,280 --> 02:13:16,920
matters but what we would do with this

2972
02:13:16,920 --> 02:13:19,159
uh proposed schedule the recommendation

2973
02:13:19,159 --> 02:13:22,159
is to have Council business after the

2974
02:13:22,159 --> 02:13:24,679
planning items at that meeting so there

2975
02:13:24,679 --> 02:13:27,280
would be half or depending on what the

2976
02:13:27,280 --> 02:13:31,480
agenda was of other Township business on

2977
02:13:31,480 --> 02:13:35,910
the quote unquote planning

2978
02:13:35,920 --> 02:13:38,119
agenda I'd like to make a comment on

2979
02:13:38,119 --> 02:13:41,639
that that's what we used to do up until

2980
02:13:41,639 --> 02:13:44,159
I don't know when it change but we did

2981
02:13:44,159 --> 02:13:45,800
have we but we did have three meetings

2982
02:13:45,800 --> 02:13:47,239
but some of them only lasted an hour and

2983
02:13:47,239 --> 02:13:51,520
a half but we did in fact have two

2984
02:13:51,520 --> 02:13:53,559
readings to regular and the third one

2985
02:13:53,559 --> 02:13:55,599
was a planning

2986
02:13:55,599 --> 02:14:01,470
slash uh regular

2987
02:14:01,480 --> 02:14:04,679
Council go ahead and maybe just a

2988
02:14:04,679 --> 02:14:06,119
recommendation I know I've mentioned

2989
02:14:06,119 --> 02:14:08,960
this to you before Mr CAO that if we're

2990
02:14:08,960 --> 02:14:11,280
going down to one meeting is it at all

2991
02:14:11,280 --> 02:14:13,000
possible that we make sure that that one

2992
02:14:13,000 --> 02:14:14,480
meeting which is going to be the second

2993
02:14:14,480 --> 02:14:17,239
Tuesday of the month right that staff be

2994
02:14:17,239 --> 02:14:18,679
here present

2995
02:14:18,679 --> 02:14:21,400
and another example was today with uh

2996
02:14:21,400 --> 02:14:23,040
some of the staff talking they're

2997
02:14:23,040 --> 02:14:25,679
garbled it's mumbled they're just up the

2998
02:14:25,679 --> 02:14:28,079
street I think if we plan it out I'm

2999
02:14:28,079 --> 02:14:29,920
sure we can that staff can come here

3000
02:14:29,920 --> 02:14:32,440
they can make their presentation we can

3001
02:14:32,440 --> 02:14:33,719
ask them anything and then they're free

3002
02:14:33,719 --> 02:14:36,159
to go instead of you know I can

3003
02:14:36,159 --> 02:14:38,440
understand if you're at home or

3004
02:14:38,440 --> 02:14:39,599
something like that or you're on a

3005
02:14:39,599 --> 02:14:41,040
conference and you do it but for you

3006
02:14:41,040 --> 02:14:42,760
just to be up the street I think it's

3007
02:14:42,760 --> 02:14:44,040
only going to take a few minutes for

3008
02:14:44,040 --> 02:14:45,599
them to come here but that's just my

3009
02:14:45,599 --> 02:14:47,599
recommendation if we're streamlining

3010
02:14:47,599 --> 02:14:51,470
things

3011
02:14:51,480 --> 02:14:54,520
go ahead uh through you mayor logo uh I

3012
02:14:54,520 --> 02:14:56,880
agree with this at first I thought I was

3013
02:14:56,880 --> 02:15:00,079
a bit of a head scratcher but um I thank

3014
02:15:00,079 --> 02:15:03,400
you Nancy and uh Dave for bringing this

3015
02:15:03,400 --> 02:15:06,239
forward because I think we have to look

3016
02:15:06,239 --> 02:15:09,840
at different ways to do business and if

3017
02:15:09,840 --> 02:15:12,840
we can be more

3018
02:15:12,840 --> 02:15:16,159
efficient I think we need to put these

3019
02:15:16,159 --> 02:15:18,520
practices into place so

3020
02:15:18,520 --> 02:15:22,520
um I thank you and um

3021
02:15:22,520 --> 02:15:26,079
I I'm I'm uh in agreement with

3022
02:15:26,079 --> 02:15:30,119
this Mike uh through Mar logo so just

3023
02:15:30,119 --> 02:15:32,679
would it change the time that we would

3024
02:15:32,679 --> 02:15:37,149
get our agendas to

3025
02:15:37,159 --> 02:15:39,520
read through through you

3026
02:15:39,520 --> 02:15:42,960
mayor if that is something that Council

3027
02:15:42,960 --> 02:15:46,840
would like to discuss and direct staff I

3028
02:15:46,840 --> 02:15:48,480
I'm assuming by your your question that

3029
02:15:48,480 --> 02:15:50,119
you might want it a little earlier if

3030
02:15:50,119 --> 02:15:52,840
you think the agendas are going to be

3031
02:15:52,840 --> 02:15:55,199
heavier yeah thank that is something

3032
02:15:55,199 --> 02:15:58,119
that could definitely be accommodated

3033
02:15:58,119 --> 02:16:00,480
okay if if uh Council wishes to do that

3034
02:16:00,480 --> 02:16:03,159
for now it would still be just per the

3035
02:16:03,159 --> 02:16:05,239
procedural bya uh that would be

3036
02:16:05,239 --> 02:16:07,079
published on the Wednesday for the

3037
02:16:07,079 --> 02:16:09,040
following

3038
02:16:09,040 --> 02:16:14,559
Tuesday okay but we could change that

3039
02:16:14,559 --> 02:16:17,239
yes uh there was I'm not sure if it was

3040
02:16:17,239 --> 02:16:18,920
in this or something else but wasn't

3041
02:16:18,920 --> 02:16:24,480
there a 9:30 time T start in this report

3042
02:16:24,480 --> 02:16:27,119
so that would change the Tuesday

3043
02:16:27,119 --> 02:16:29,599
meetings till 9:30 a and the planning

3044
02:16:29,599 --> 02:16:33,040
meeting till 9:30 a.m through you mayor

3045
02:16:33,040 --> 02:16:34,960
that that's correct but anytime there is

3046
02:16:34,960 --> 02:16:37,920
a a need when staff understands that

3047
02:16:37,920 --> 02:16:39,639
there might be a particular interest or

3048
02:16:39,639 --> 02:16:41,840
an evening meeting would be beneficial

3049
02:16:41,840 --> 02:16:44,920
we can always accommodate

3050
02:16:44,920 --> 02:16:46,679
that

3051
02:16:46,679 --> 02:16:48,479
okay

3052
02:16:48,479 --> 02:16:50,120
and just to note because I thought it

3053
02:16:50,120 --> 02:16:51,679
was as simple as just going in and

3054
02:16:51,679 --> 02:16:53,359
cancelling the second meeting it's not

3055
02:16:53,359 --> 02:16:55,359
you actually have to be careful that you

3056
02:16:55,359 --> 02:16:57,160
have to go into November and that and

3057
02:16:57,160 --> 02:16:59,280
the date is now not the 7th it's the

3058
02:16:59,280 --> 02:17:02,000
14th so it's the second Tuesday of the

3059
02:17:02,000 --> 02:17:05,240
month not the first Tuesday of the month

3060
02:17:05,240 --> 02:17:06,800
or you'll have people showing up here on

3061
02:17:06,800 --> 02:17:09,160
the wrong date next month we we will

3062
02:17:09,160 --> 02:17:10,559
definitely post the schedule on the

3063
02:17:10,559 --> 02:17:12,519
website and counselors will definitely

3064
02:17:12,519 --> 02:17:13,800
have that

3065
02:17:13,800 --> 02:17:16,599
update thank

3066
02:17:16,599 --> 02:17:21,319
you no we can I read the resolution Mo

3067
02:17:21,319 --> 02:17:23,200
in a

3068
02:17:23,200 --> 02:17:27,160
second Council Ruth second by Council

3069
02:17:27,160 --> 02:17:31,750
answorth further

3070
02:17:31,760 --> 02:17:34,920
discussion Deputy Mayor you have no no

3071
02:17:34,920 --> 02:17:37,399
I'm fine okay all in favor I was ahead

3072
02:17:37,399 --> 02:17:43,509
of myself

3073
02:17:43,519 --> 02:17:46,000
car and one think other thing we didn't

3074
02:17:46,000 --> 02:17:47,719
talk about those need so I guess we're

3075
02:17:47,719 --> 02:17:50,359
not planning on going to Road

3076
02:17:50,359 --> 02:17:52,719
me that

3077
02:17:52,719 --> 02:17:55,080
would

3078
02:17:55,080 --> 02:18:01,399
uh which which I guess I'll we are virtual so hopefully

3079
02:18:01,399 --> 02:18:05,479
everybody can get them

3080
02:18:05,479 --> 02:18:08,240
vir go ahead I was going to say I think

3081
02:18:08,240 --> 02:18:10,000
you have to look at the procedural bylaw

3082
02:18:10,000 --> 02:18:11,519
I believe it's in the bylaw that we

3083
02:18:11,519 --> 02:18:13,200
actually have a meeting at rosneath

3084
02:18:13,200 --> 02:18:14,479
every once in a while so that would have

3085
02:18:14,479 --> 02:18:16,519
to

3086
02:18:16,519 --> 02:18:19,160
change quite all have to change it's GNA

3087
02:18:19,160 --> 02:18:20,280
have to change for a lot of things

3088
02:18:20,280 --> 02:18:22,240
because we do say what time the meeting

3089
02:18:22,240 --> 02:18:24,040
start and everything it's a lot of

3090
02:18:24,040 --> 02:18:26,679
changes and and through you just on that

3091
02:18:26,679 --> 02:18:29,559
one point in terms of um having meetings

3092
02:18:29,559 --> 02:18:32,359
up at rosneath uh if there's going to be

3093
02:18:32,359 --> 02:18:34,840
a large number of people that we expect

3094
02:18:34,840 --> 02:18:36,519
who from the public who might want to

3095
02:18:36,519 --> 02:18:39,599
attend a meeting um it's difficult from

3096
02:18:39,599 --> 02:18:41,399
a couple of different perspectives to

3097
02:18:41,399 --> 02:18:45,359
have it up there um I'm quite happy to

3098
02:18:45,359 --> 02:18:47,679
um spread meetings around the township I

3099
02:18:47,679 --> 02:18:49,639
think that's that's a really good idea

3100
02:18:49,639 --> 02:18:53,840
but technology is very limited up there

3101
02:18:53,840 --> 02:18:56,479
as well as space

3102
02:18:56,479 --> 02:19:00,719
so here C I just want to reiterate that

3103
02:19:00,719 --> 02:19:03,120
I I fully agree and we need to have

3104
02:19:03,120 --> 02:19:04,599
meetings in different parts of the

3105
02:19:04,599 --> 02:19:06,639
municipality they just don't necessarily

3106
02:19:06,639 --> 02:19:09,000
need to be a regular Council meetings

3107
02:19:09,000 --> 02:19:11,479
but that does need to be something it's

3108
02:19:11,479 --> 02:19:13,880
part of communication it's part of

3109
02:19:13,880 --> 02:19:15,880
responding to ours so I'm sure that's

3110
02:19:15,880 --> 02:19:20,509
going to come back in our strategic

3111
02:19:20,519 --> 02:19:22,920
plan we got the

3112
02:19:22,920 --> 02:19:28,190
V all in favor we you can

3113
02:19:28,200 --> 02:19:40,830
get all in favor yes motions

02:19:40,840 --> 02:19:42,920
carried okay we have the committee

3115
02:19:42,920 --> 02:19:44,920
governance

3116
02:19:44,920 --> 02:19:48,080
structure maybe I should read this

3117
02:19:48,080 --> 02:19:49,840
first you want to you want to mention

3118
02:19:49,840 --> 02:19:51,520

councilor

3199
02:23:21,640 --> 02:23:26,080
dth oh you go ahead second

3200
02:23:26,080 --> 02:23:29,680
to No Worries um I concur with what

3201
02:23:29,680 --> 02:23:31,760
you've said Deputy Mayor Stover I'm

3202
02:23:31,760 --> 02:23:33,880
especially pleased to see the language

3203
02:23:33,880 --> 02:23:36,080
provided in the background I think that

3204
02:23:36,080 --> 02:23:38,720
is language that people needed to see

3205
02:23:38,720 --> 02:23:41,439
and hear in our community and it refle

3206
02:23:41,439 --> 02:23:43,279
what we would like to achieve as a

3207
02:23:43,279 --> 02:23:46,160
council so very very pleased to see that

3208
02:23:46,160 --> 02:23:48,120
and I just want to add

3209
02:23:48,120 --> 02:23:51,439
that um because we had referred back

3210
02:23:51,439 --> 02:23:54,040
about the revitalization committee to

3211
02:23:54,040 --> 02:23:55,160
the

3212
02:23:55,160 --> 02:23:58,080
recreation that now is going to be a

3213
02:23:58,080 --> 02:24:00,760
focus for discussion next time on how

3214
02:24:00,760 --> 02:24:03,800
these can work together so um they

3215
02:24:03,800 --> 02:24:06,640
definitely were feeling the same things

3216
02:24:06,640 --> 02:24:09,000
that you were identifying so there is

3217
02:24:09,000 --> 02:24:11,840
Real Alignment between the existing

3218
02:24:11,840 --> 02:24:13,479
Recreation culture and Community

3219
02:24:13,479 --> 02:24:15,800
Development Committee and what's being

3220
02:24:15,800 --> 02:24:18,399
outlined here so

3221
02:24:18,399 --> 02:24:21,600
CER booth just a clarification maybe the

3222
02:24:21,600 --> 02:24:24,000
CAO can so when you're talking about no

3223
02:24:24,000 --> 02:24:27,359
committees or that that includes ad hoc

3224
02:24:27,359 --> 02:24:30,080
committees that is my understanding yes

3225
02:24:30,080 --> 02:24:31,359
okay thank

3226
02:24:31,359 --> 02:24:35,520
you may I mayor logo just for

3227
02:24:35,520 --> 02:24:37,960
clarity uh and I want the public to know

3228
02:24:37,960 --> 02:24:40,600
this for clarity this is not disbanding

3229
02:24:40,600 --> 02:24:42,640
committees this is not shutting down

3230
02:24:42,640 --> 02:24:45,279
committees the idea here is that we're

3231
02:24:45,279 --> 02:24:48,160
providing governance and guidance for

3232
02:24:48,160 --> 02:24:49,680
the Committees to

3233
02:24:49,680 --> 02:24:52,680
follow um there is an appropriate

3234
02:24:52,680 --> 02:24:55,359
process when committees are uh allowed

3235
02:24:55,359 --> 02:24:58,279
to operate mostly for providing comment

3236
02:24:58,279 --> 02:24:59,160
to

3237
02:24:59,160 --> 02:25:01,680
council and then the appropriate process

3238
02:25:01,680 --> 02:25:04,279
for the way things then go to staff and

3239
02:25:04,279 --> 02:25:06,479
then to be accomplished that is the

3240
02:25:06,479 --> 02:25:07,600
reason for

3241
02:25:07,600 --> 02:25:09,479
it

3242
02:25:09,479 --> 02:25:11,640
yeah and could I make a comment are you

3243
02:25:11,640 --> 02:25:13,520
going to be looking at um and I know

3244
02:25:13,520 --> 02:25:15,920
we've talked about this before is the

3245
02:25:15,920 --> 02:25:19,080
education for these committees or the uh

3246
02:25:19,080 --> 02:25:21,040
orientation orientation we've been

3247
02:25:21,040 --> 02:25:24,040
asking for almost a year now and we have

3248
02:25:24,040 --> 02:25:25,800
committees that have been form that I

3249
02:25:25,800 --> 02:25:27,240
don't even believe they've had their

3250
02:25:27,240 --> 02:25:29,160
police criminal reference checks handed

3251
02:25:29,160 --> 02:25:31,840
in and I think it makes the township

3252
02:25:31,840 --> 02:25:35,120
liable that we haven't given them any

3253
02:25:35,120 --> 02:25:36,600
we've talked about you know preventing

3254
02:25:36,600 --> 02:25:37,960
stuff in the future we haven't given

3255
02:25:37,960 --> 02:25:40,800
them any orientation or even checks from

3256
02:25:40,800 --> 02:25:42,640
them so hopefully that will be included

3257
02:25:42,640 --> 02:25:44,560
in your report about the structures in

3258
02:25:44,560 --> 02:25:46,840
that yeah through you mayor local Absol

3259
02:25:46,840 --> 02:25:49,439
absolutely um when we say comprehensive

3260
02:25:49,439 --> 02:25:51,399
it's going to look at all the things

3261
02:25:51,399 --> 02:25:53,720
that that really need to be before

3262
02:25:53,720 --> 02:25:56,080
Council for consideration and discussion

3263
02:25:56,080 --> 02:25:59,240
and make sure we have everything

3264
02:25:59,240 --> 02:26:02,000
um everything down in terms of how these

3265
02:26:02,000 --> 02:26:04,080
are going to operate in the future so

3266
02:26:04,080 --> 02:26:05,800

minutes

3287
02:27:07,840 --> 02:27:12,040
um when you're discussing certain things

3288
02:27:12,040 --> 02:27:14,399
in

3289
02:27:14,399 --> 02:27:17,439
there what is the next step

3290
02:27:17,439 --> 02:27:21,240
um when I look at um your uh they were

3291
02:27:21,240 --> 02:27:25,190
looking at

3292
02:27:25,200 --> 02:27:28,920
um bathrooms at the wicko boat launch

3293
02:27:28,920 --> 02:27:34,000
and maybe and and uh uh hiring

3294
02:27:34,000 --> 02:27:35,200
additional

3295
02:27:35,200 --> 02:27:38,000
staff I'm just wondering does

3296
02:27:38,000 --> 02:27:41,760
that now come forward in a a

3297
02:27:41,760 --> 02:27:45,479
report I'm I'm not sure how how what the

3298
02:27:45,479 --> 02:27:49,399
process is for that I think Mary cath's

3299
02:27:49,399 --> 02:27:51,560
gonna answer

3300
02:27:51,560 --> 02:27:55,680
it well um I think there's a two-part

3301
02:27:55,680 --> 02:27:58,240
answer one is to clarify exactly your

3302
02:27:58,240 --> 02:27:59,920
question and I think the report that we

3303
02:27:59,920 --> 02:28:03,840
were just discussing will do that but

3304
02:28:03,840 --> 02:28:08,399
um that and we also I'm sure the report

3305
02:28:08,399 --> 02:28:10,760
will touch on minutes but we had one of

3306
02:28:10,760 --> 02:28:12,560
the committee members did the minutes

3307
02:28:12,560 --> 02:28:14,200
the one month so they've got sort of a

3308
02:28:14,200 --> 02:28:16,720
different setup than the other months

3309
02:28:16,720 --> 02:28:18,359
but those were just

3310
02:28:18,359 --> 02:28:20,600
suggestions and that's one of the things

3311
02:28:20,600 --> 02:28:22,120
I think needs to be looked at in terms

3312
02:28:22,120 --> 02:28:25,200
of minutes when are things

3313
02:28:25,200 --> 02:28:28,399
just brainstorming and when are the

3314
02:28:28,399 --> 02:28:31,240
actionable items and so I I think that's

3315
02:28:31,240 --> 02:28:32,319
one of the things that we'll be

3316
02:28:32,319 --> 02:28:34,840
clarified for us having said that

3317
02:28:34,840 --> 02:28:36,600
sometimes these suggestions get carried

3318
02:28:36,600 --> 02:28:39,319
forward like the QR codes which you know

3319
02:28:39,319 --> 02:28:42,000
was no cost to anyone but they've now

3320
02:28:42,000 --> 02:28:45,319
implemented that on um like posters and

3321
02:28:45,319 --> 02:28:47,840
stuff that are being created it and very

3322
02:28:47,840 --> 02:28:50,479
pleased with how that's progressing so

3323
02:28:50,479 --> 02:28:53,120
you know that's where a suggestion has

3324
02:28:53,120 --> 02:28:55,240
already turned into action but the other

3325
02:28:55,240 --> 02:28:57,600
ones with regard to budget they were

3326
02:28:57,600 --> 02:29:01,359
just here's some brainstorming ideas you

3327
02:29:01,359 --> 02:29:04,040
might think about but they weren't meant

3328
02:29:04,040 --> 02:29:05,800
to be actionable items yeah because

3329
02:29:05,800 --> 02:29:08,399
there was another one hiring additional

3330
02:29:08,399 --> 02:29:11,640
staff for Parks wrecking culture

3331
02:29:11,640 --> 02:29:15,720
department so I I just kind of and

3332
02:29:15,720 --> 02:29:17,080
you've answered it if it is

3333
02:29:17,080 --> 02:29:19,399
brainstorming and and maybe the minutes

3334
02:29:19,399 --> 02:29:23,399
could reflect that thank you I think I

3335
02:29:23,399 --> 02:29:26,800
think n's plan on when she does a

3336
02:29:26,800 --> 02:29:29,560
comprehensive investigation and Report

3337
02:29:29,560 --> 02:29:31,760
that'll tell us a lot of

3338
02:29:31,760 --> 02:29:34,479
that and and come back to what Greg was

3339
02:29:34,479 --> 02:29:37,080
mentioned there 15 minutes ago about the

3340
02:29:37,080 --> 02:29:43,080
U Rose Neath um uh ACC and and and um

3341
02:29:43,080 --> 02:29:45,520
negotiating with that group I I think

3342
02:29:45,520 --> 02:29:49,040
that's probably all fits into the same

3343
02:29:49,040 --> 02:29:51,279
thing okay we got a move in a second her

3344
02:29:51,279 --> 02:30:01,790
all in favor that motion's

3345
02:30:01,800 --> 02:30:04,439
carried next we

3346
02:30:04,439 --> 02:30:08,960
have Grafton drinking water system 2023

3347
02:30:08,960 --> 02:30:10,479

seconder mov by Deputy Mayor stver

3356

by councelor boo any

3358
02:30:44,000 --> 02:30:47,279
discussion is are we reporting this

3359
02:30:47,279 --> 02:30:50,080
is this going to the to your committee

3360
02:30:50,080 --> 02:30:53,080
first it already has it's

3361
02:30:53,080 --> 02:30:56,160
already are from May

3362
02:30:56,160 --> 02:30:58,479
okay historically they've been part of

3363
02:30:58,479 --> 02:31:00,279
your report but maybe you're trying to

3364
02:31:00,279 --> 02:31:04,520
keep them separate now oh maybe

3365
02:31:04,520 --> 02:31:08,359
see do historically Larry's report went

3366
02:31:08,359 --> 02:31:11,880
to the water committee and then they

3367
02:31:11,880 --> 02:31:15,120
copied uh it was part of that uh minutes

3368
02:31:15,120 --> 02:31:17,560
of their meeting but this is a different

3369
02:31:17,560 --> 02:31:18,920
way of doing it I don't know if it's

3370
02:31:18,920 --> 02:31:21,000
right and wrong we've been doing this

3371
02:31:21,000 --> 02:31:23,760
for quite some time oh have you yeah

3372
02:31:23,760 --> 02:31:26,560
okay well the advantage of that to uh

3373
02:31:26,560 --> 02:31:29,000
your worship is that you see these

3374
02:31:29,000 --> 02:31:31,920
reports uh quicker than because we only

3375
02:31:31,920 --> 02:31:34,760
meet every few months by the time it

3376
02:31:34,760 --> 02:31:36,680
happens and then the minutes be approved

3377
02:31:36,680 --> 02:31:38,120
and then it comes back with Larry's

3378
02:31:38,120 --> 02:31:39,880
thing you'll be getting reports from

3379
02:31:39,880 --> 02:31:42,439

02:31:42,439 --> 02:31:43,240
good

3381
02:31:43,240 --> 02:31:47,160
point confusion all in favor

3382
02:31:47,160 --> 02:31:48,359
motion's

3383
02:31:48,359 --> 02:31:52,120

3384
02:31:52,120 --> 02:31:56,120

02:34:10,560 --> 02:34:13,399
report I mean are they looking out for

3430
02:34:13,399 --> 02:34:16,680
the whole County I would assume

3431
02:34:16,680 --> 02:34:19,040
and if so have they involved us like

3432
02:34:19,040 --> 02:34:20,840
they you know do they know what we feel

3433
02:34:20,840 --> 02:34:22,800
like what we should have in there to

3434
02:34:22,800 --> 02:34:26,000
promote us and you know

3435
02:34:26,000 --> 02:34:28,319
we're I would have to say that they're a

3436
02:34:28,319 --> 02:34:31,200
separate uh municipality and they based

3437
02:34:31,200 --> 02:34:34,840
their strategic plan on on North

3438
02:34:34,840 --> 02:34:38,319
themselves so do they involve us this

3439
02:34:38,319 --> 02:34:42,960
Council or any other councils no they do

3440
02:34:42,960 --> 02:34:49,950
not okay I just think they should

3441
02:34:49,960 --> 02:34:53,680
okay to your mayor loo oh sorry um

3442
02:34:53,680 --> 02:34:56,800
councelor O'Neal I think inadvertently

3443
02:34:56,800 --> 02:34:57,840
your

3444
02:34:57,840 --> 02:35:04,920
thoughts are coming through because on this report there's a representative

3445
02:35:04,920 --> 02:35:07,040
from every

3446
02:35:07,040 --> 02:35:09,399
municipality yes so I'm sure you're

3447
02:35:09,399 --> 02:35:11,640
bringing your

3448
02:35:11,640 --> 02:35:15,160
Insight of what is here yes would that

3449
02:35:15,160 --> 02:35:16,960
be fair

3450
02:35:16,960 --> 02:35:19,439
yes at the same time

3451
02:35:19,439 --> 02:35:22,359
I when I go to Northland Council

3452
02:35:22,359 --> 02:35:25,160
Northland County Council I represent the

3453
02:35:25,160 --> 02:35:28,279
entire Council not just or Pard all of

3454
02:35:28,279 --> 02:35:32,389
the municipalities not just

3455
02:35:32,399 --> 02:35:36,840
A&H M cin um just on page 13 it does

3456
02:35:36,840 --> 02:35:40,760
outline how the they engaged the overall

3457
02:35:40,760 --> 02:35:44,560
community and it does show here that the

3458
02:35:44,560 --> 02:35:47,439
highest level of Engagement was at the

3459
02:35:47,439 --> 02:35:50,520
popups where they were iners Community

3460
02:35:50,520 --> 02:35:53,120
conversation so that actually is useful

3461
02:35:53,120 --> 02:35:54,960
I think for us to know that that's how

3462
02:35:54,960 --> 02:35:59,630
people did engage most extensively

3463
02:35:59,640 --> 02:36:04,880
so further discussion go ahead H my

3464
02:36:04,880 --> 02:36:09,040

3465
02:36:09,040 --> 02:36:11,680

intermunicipal at hoc committee is

3515
02:38:34,399 --> 02:38:37,640

3516
02:38:37,640 --> 02:38:40,000
Point E from the Council of towns Al

3517
02:38:40,000 --> 02:38:42,680
mman and further be resolved the council

regarding the work of this adoc

3520
02:38:50,600 --> 02:38:54,000
committee so I guess the first one uh

3521
02:38:54,000 --> 02:38:58,070
says do we want to get

3522
02:38:58,080 --> 02:39:00,200
involved can I get a over in a second

3523
02:39:00,200 --> 02:39:01,680
for

3524
02:39:01,680 --> 02:39:04,680
that by Council

3525
02:39:04,680 --> 02:39:07,279
O'Neal second by Council anorth

3526
02:39:07,279 --> 02:39:09,080
discussion any

3527
02:39:09,080 --> 02:39:11,439
discussion um I actually think this

3528
02:39:11,439 --> 02:39:14,600
follows up on councelor ainsworth's

3529
02:39:14,600 --> 02:39:16,880
question about how to make it work

3530
02:39:16,880 --> 02:39:18,960
between the county and the

3531
02:39:18,960 --> 02:39:21,880
municipalities and yes we absolutely do

3532
02:39:21,880 --> 02:39:25,720
have the mayor who's there representing

3533
02:39:25,720 --> 02:39:29,080
our area but as he's rightly points out

3534
02:39:29,080 --> 02:39:30,720
representing all of Northumberland

3535
02:39:30,720 --> 02:39:34,040
County but this allows those decisions

3536
02:39:34,040 --> 02:39:36,200
that have you know I think one like a

3537
02:39:36,200 --> 02:39:39,200
ven diagram where they overlap between

3538
02:39:39,200 --> 02:39:40,600
there's things that are the county

3539
02:39:40,600 --> 02:39:43,080
there's things that are tier one that's

3540
02:39:43,080 --> 02:39:45,800
us but there is some overlap and this is

3541
02:39:45,800 --> 02:39:48,800
just an opportunity for us to say well

3542
02:39:48,800 --> 02:39:51,200
what are you doing in Brighton or Port

3543
02:39:51,200 --> 02:39:53,800
Hope or wherever in the overlap and I

3544
02:39:53,800 --> 02:39:55,479
think I read somewhere that this was

3545
02:39:55,479 --> 02:39:57,600
aiming for four meetings a year so I

3546
02:39:57,600 --> 02:39:59,479
think it's to check in with one another

3547
02:39:59,479 --> 02:40:03,080
so I I'm interested in this mik you have

3548
02:40:03,080 --> 02:40:07,479
a comment yeah I I would excuse me I

3549
02:40:07,479 --> 02:40:09,760
don't know if we can get a a report and

3550
02:40:09,760 --> 02:40:11,160
know how all this

3551
02:40:11,160 --> 02:40:14,240
works you know if um you know if you're

3552
02:40:14,240 --> 02:40:17,000
getting homeless people's places to stay

3553
02:40:17,000 --> 02:40:19,399
and you know how they're how they're fed

3554
02:40:19,399 --> 02:40:22,040
how the if you get them housing who pays

3555
02:40:22,040 --> 02:40:24,960
for that housing and um it would be nice

3556
02:40:24,960 --> 02:40:27,279
to know that whole process before we

3557
02:40:27,279 --> 02:40:29,800
jump into something like this and uh

3558
02:40:29,800 --> 02:40:31,399
just kind of so we know what it's all

3559
02:40:31,399 --> 02:40:34,920
about and and how it's all funded and um

3560
02:40:34,920 --> 02:40:38,640
how they're approached you know the uh

3561
02:40:38,640 --> 02:40:41,640
the the painstaking thing of trying to

3562
02:40:41,640 --> 02:40:43,880
bring them bring them back to a to a

3563
02:40:43,880 --> 02:40:47,240
home kind of thing right so I would if

3564
02:40:47,240 --> 02:40:48,920
there's if there's any kind of a report

3565
02:40:48,920 --> 02:40:50,720
but maybe there is already I'd just like

3566
02:40:50,720 --> 02:40:52,600
to see that be able to read

3567
02:40:52,600 --> 02:40:56,200
it yeah there's there's a whole um

3568
02:40:56,200 --> 02:40:57,960
Department that handles all this well

3569
02:40:57,960 --> 02:40:59,319
that's what I'm saying so why why can't

3570
02:40:59,319 --> 02:41:00,880
we see that before we make this decision

3571
02:41:00,880 --> 02:41:02,319
that we're jumping into it' be nice to

3572
02:41:02,319 --> 02:41:04,800
know the process and in the funding of

3573
02:41:04,800 --> 02:41:06,359
it

3574
02:41:06,359 --> 02:41:08,920
all well we could ask I guess we could

3575
02:41:08,920 --> 02:41:12,359
ask the posing manager to or social

3576
02:41:12,359 --> 02:41:14,120
services person to come down and explain

3577
02:41:14,120 --> 02:41:16,840
it sure best they can it's

3578
02:41:16,840 --> 02:41:19,240
complicated

3579
02:41:19,240 --> 02:41:22,429
yeah

3580
02:41:22,439 --> 02:41:25,000
ahead thank you through you mayor logo

3581
02:41:25,000 --> 02:41:27,880
um so this ad hoc committee uh as the

3582
02:41:27,880 --> 02:41:30,600
name suggests is is a very finite

3583
02:41:30,600 --> 02:41:33,439
shortterm committee and it's it's being

3584
02:41:33,439 --> 02:41:36,200
initiated by one of the seven lower

3585
02:41:36,200 --> 02:41:40,160
tiers Brighton um as well as including

3586
02:41:40,160 --> 02:41:43,800
Northumberland so this is not a a county

3587
02:41:43,800 --> 02:41:45,920
Le initiative but as count councelor

3588
02:41:45,920 --> 02:41:48,000
O'Neal was saying it's very much a

3589
02:41:48,000 --> 02:41:51,439
situation where uh all seven member

3590
02:41:51,439 --> 02:41:53,680
municipalities in the county want to

3591
02:41:53,680 --> 02:41:57,000
work together presumably to see what can

3592
02:41:57,000 --> 02:42:00,479
be done in in terms of the increasing um

3593
02:42:00,479 --> 02:42:02,040
pressures and issues and different

3594
02:42:02,040 --> 02:42:04,120
things that uh communities have gone

3595
02:42:04,120 --> 02:42:08,760
through of late um one of the I I don't

3596
02:42:08,760 --> 02:42:11,800
really think that uh other than the

3597
02:42:11,800 --> 02:42:13,600
terms of reference which you which you

3598
02:42:13,600 --> 02:42:15,600
have before you for this committee I

3599
02:42:15,600 --> 02:42:17,880
don't think there's anything that

3600
02:42:17,880 --> 02:42:20,520
they've predetermined I think it's more

3601
02:42:20,520 --> 02:42:22,160
they they want to try to do a fact-f

3602
02:42:22,160 --> 02:42:24,279
finding session amongst themselves to

3603
02:42:24,279 --> 02:42:26,880
see you know what what ideas can we come

3604
02:42:26,880 --> 02:42:29,520
up with and and how can how can we

3605
02:42:29,520 --> 02:42:31,880
perhaps make a difference and rectify

3606
02:42:31,880 --> 02:42:34,520
some of the issues that that was how I

3607
02:42:34,520 --> 02:42:38,990
interpreted the Brighton

3608
02:42:39,000 --> 02:42:41,840
resolution um and and that person I

3609
02:42:41,840 --> 02:42:44,200
think whoever that represent is will be

3610
02:42:44,200 --> 02:42:48,920
able to provide some that information

3611
02:42:48,920 --> 02:42:54,830
you're as as anybody

3612
02:42:54,840 --> 02:42:58,960
make m c uh thank you mayor logel um a

3613
02:42:58,960 --> 02:43:01,560
two-part thing I actually was very

3614
02:43:01,560 --> 02:43:03,240
fortunate because I happened to be the

3615
02:43:03,240 --> 02:43:06,080
chair of uh halman Court departments

3616
02:43:06,080 --> 02:43:08,120
when the county Was preparing all of

3617
02:43:08,120 --> 02:43:10,080
this so I did actually get an

3618
02:43:10,080 --> 02:43:13,000
opportunity to work with and be part of

3619
02:43:13,000 --> 02:43:15,080
that process as it unrolled and so I

3620
02:43:15,080 --> 02:43:16,680
would be happy to share that with you

3621
02:43:16,680 --> 02:43:18,439
and I think that's actually a benefit to

3622
02:43:18,439 --> 02:43:20,520
say who's going to be bringing this

3623
02:43:20,520 --> 02:43:23,080
forward I do have a follow-up question

3624
02:43:23,080 --> 02:43:25,880
if I may through to our CAO and clerk

3625
02:43:25,880 --> 02:43:27,800
would you prefer this decision be

3626
02:43:27,800 --> 02:43:32,399
postponed until we've had our um

3627
02:43:32,399 --> 02:43:35,600

Township's 2024 budget process ru

3725
02:48:15,640 --> 02:48:19,960
second by councelor Booth seconded by

3726
02:48:19,960 --> 02:48:22,720
councelor eworth any discussions

3727
02:48:22,720 --> 02:48:26,240
councelor Booth I'll start on it first I

3728
02:48:26,240 --> 02:48:29,680
guess um I believe if I'm correct I

3729
02:48:29,680 --> 02:48:35,240
think the um Rona is her name Ronda comes here before Council and

3730
02:48:35,240 --> 02:48:37,840
talks about her budget but I got a big

3731
02:48:37,840 --> 02:48:39,600
problem with this reading this this is

3732
02:48:39,600 --> 02:48:42,920
asking for a 19% increase which means

3733
02:48:42,920 --> 02:48:45,479
we're going to be paying 23,000

3734
02:48:45,479 --> 02:48:47,120
$247

3735
02:48:47,120 --> 02:48:52,240
more and I'm sorry I just don't buy the

3736
02:48:52,240 --> 02:48:54,920
uh the arguments that they're saying

3737
02:48:54,920 --> 02:48:58,279
that uh several factors include uh the

3738
02:48:58,279 --> 02:49:01,800
4.9% consumers price index increase in

3739
02:49:01,800 --> 02:49:04,160
minimum wage you know decrease in

3740
02:49:04,160 --> 02:49:05,880
surplus funds but then they're looking

3741
02:49:05,880 --> 02:49:07,200
at taking

3742
02:49:07,200 --> 02:49:09,640
2.25 uh temporary employees and making

3743
02:49:09,640 --> 02:49:12,840
them full-time and I bring this up

3744
02:49:12,840 --> 02:49:14,399
because this happened with last year's

3745
02:49:14,399 --> 02:49:16,840
Council too is that I believe and don't

3746
02:49:16,840 --> 02:49:18,880
quote me on the numbers but I believe

3747
02:49:18,880 --> 02:49:21,640
Trent uh Conservation Area was very high

3748
02:49:21,640 --> 02:49:24,239
either eight or 9% and ganaraska was

3749
02:49:24,239 --> 02:49:26,800
like at two or three per. and I can't

3750
02:49:26,800 --> 02:49:29,239
see why every year it seems to be that

3751
02:49:29,239 --> 02:49:32,439
Trent is double triple what the other

3752
02:49:32,439 --> 02:49:35,960
Conservation Area is asking for so I'm

3753
02:49:35,960 --> 02:49:38,680
hoping that Council here would agree

3754
02:49:38,680 --> 02:49:41,239
that we could ask staff to bring us back

3755
02:49:41,239 --> 02:49:44,279
a report at the next meeting just for a

3756
02:49:44,279 --> 02:49:46,920
very quick comparison of for the last

3757
02:49:46,920 --> 02:49:48,359
five years and I'm sure it could be done

3758
02:49:48,359 --> 02:49:51,120
by the treasurer very quickly what

3759
02:49:51,120 --> 02:49:53,680
ganaraska is increase has been for the

3760
02:49:53,680 --> 02:49:55,640
last five years and what trents has been

3761
02:49:55,640 --> 02:49:57,319
for the last five years so we have some

3762
02:49:57,319 --> 02:49:59,319
numbers to look at so that when she

3763
02:49:59,319 --> 02:50:01,800
comes and makes a presentation that we

3764
02:50:01,800 --> 02:50:04,560
can you know ask some big questions I

3765
02:50:04,560 --> 02:50:06,760
know if we as Town's Council to hold the

3766
02:50:06,760 --> 02:50:08,800
public we were increasing the taxes by

3767
02:50:08,800 --> 02:50:13,630
19% none of us would be here the next

3768
02:50:13,640 --> 02:50:15,720
time

3769
02:50:15,720 --> 02:50:19,120
thank you Greg mik through you Mary logo

3770
02:50:19,120 --> 02:50:20,800
yeah and and councelor Booth is Right

3771
02:50:20,800 --> 02:50:23,319
mostly because I I um I talked to Ronda

3772
02:50:23,319 --> 02:50:27,600
before we came to the meeting and it's typically to cover those two uh

3773
02:50:27,600 --> 02:50:30,120
part-time people because they're just

3774
02:50:30,120 --> 02:50:32,359
they're overworked uh they've had their

3775
02:50:32,359 --> 02:50:36,800
own um provintial cuts and

3776
02:50:36,800 --> 02:50:40,200
um the uh you know and I agree with

3777
02:50:40,200 --> 02:50:42,120
councelor Booth it's it's something that

3778
02:50:42,120 --> 02:50:43,160
like any other thing should be

3779
02:50:43,160 --> 02:50:44,840
negotiated and I think that's suppos

3780
02:50:44,840 --> 02:50:48,349
that we should take with

3781
02:50:48,359 --> 02:50:51,080
it uh didn't I also see somewhere where

3782
02:50:51,080 --> 02:50:53,080
it said they were actually Al they did

3783
02:50:53,080 --> 02:50:54,800
want to add two and a half people some

3784
02:50:54,800 --> 02:50:56,160
of their work was going to be the

3785
02:50:56,160 --> 02:50:58,399
expected

3786
02:50:58,399 --> 02:51:03,560
in was expected to be what some of the jobs they were going to be

3787
02:51:03,560 --> 02:51:07,120
needing less to do well with legislation

3788
02:51:07,120 --> 02:51:08,640
from The Province there's a lot of

3789
02:51:08,640 --> 02:51:09,920
things that they're they're not

3790
02:51:09,920 --> 02:51:13,279
responsible for anymore I I guess my one

3791
02:51:13,279 --> 02:51:15,000
question through you your worship maybe

3792
02:51:15,000 --> 02:51:17,600
Nancy would be I don't know how this

3793
02:51:17,600 --> 02:51:20,359
actually works if we don't approve of

3794
02:51:20,359 --> 02:51:22,960
paying an extra 19% how does that work

3795
02:51:22,960 --> 02:51:25,640
do we even get a

3796
02:51:25,640 --> 02:51:28,279
choice because we're one of like six or

3797
02:51:28,279 --> 02:51:30,720
seven groups that are in there and

3798
02:51:30,720 --> 02:51:33,399
there's uh Municipality of Trent which

3799
02:51:33,399 --> 02:51:34,880
is going to be asked for almost a

3800
02:51:34,880 --> 02:51:37,880
$100,000 more increase I can't see them

3801
02:51:37,880 --> 02:51:39,600
being very happy with something like

3802
02:51:39,600 --> 02:51:42,040
that either so what happens if if we

3803
02:51:42,040 --> 02:51:43,880
vote as Council to say we don't agree to

3804
02:51:43,880 --> 02:51:46,840
a 19% % increase does

3805
02:51:46,840 --> 02:51:49,600
that maybe you can answer Nancy I don't

3806
02:51:49,600 --> 02:51:53,600
know for you mayor logo um excellent

3807
02:51:53,600 --> 02:51:56,000
question and I don't actually have an

3808
02:51:56,000 --> 02:51:58,800
answer to that so uh right now the res

3809
02:51:58,800 --> 02:52:00,680
the recommended resolution is to Simply

3810
02:52:00,680 --> 02:52:02,479
receive it for information but we can

3811
02:52:02,479 --> 02:52:05,800
certainly um if you'd just like to um

3812
02:52:05,800 --> 02:52:08,160
move a a motion and get a second or we

3813
02:52:08,160 --> 02:52:10,359
can get that information and bring it

3814
02:52:10,359 --> 02:52:13,359
back if Council so chooses prior to the

3815
02:52:13,359 --> 02:52:16,920
budget process like for

3816
02:52:16,920 --> 02:52:20,600
information through you mayor Nancy then

3817
02:52:20,600 --> 02:52:23,520
if this has a a budget impact uh and

3818
02:52:23,520 --> 02:52:25,720
we're required to pay do we have

3819
02:52:25,720 --> 02:52:28,120
representation on their on their board

3820
02:52:28,120 --> 02:52:30,520
by way of committee or otherwise that's

3821
02:52:30,520 --> 02:52:32,880
you so through your mayor to council

3822
02:52:32,880 --> 02:52:35,600
answorth were you consulted about this

3823
02:52:35,600 --> 02:52:38,760
budget and were you part of the

3824
02:52:38,760 --> 02:52:41,319
process uh through you mayor logo yeah

3825
02:52:41,319 --> 02:52:43,720
it came up at our last meeting but it

3826
02:52:43,720 --> 02:52:46,080
was already prepared

3827
02:52:46,080 --> 02:52:49,080
preped so there was a group of uh a

3828
02:52:49,080 --> 02:52:51,640
group of counselors that sat on a a

3829
02:52:51,640 --> 02:52:53,479
budget board

3830
02:52:53,479 --> 02:52:58,950
committee and this was put together my

3831
02:52:58,960 --> 02:53:01,080
understanding through your mayor would

3832
02:53:01,080 --> 02:53:03,560
you be able to give the information to

3833
02:53:03,560 --> 02:53:06,560
Nancy who was on that board what what

3834
02:53:06,560 --> 02:53:09,359
communities they represented and again

3835
02:53:09,359 --> 02:53:11,640
going back to my question were you

3836
02:53:11,640 --> 02:53:14,439
consulted about this budget process or

3837
02:53:14,439 --> 02:53:16,600
during this budget process or were you

3838
02:53:16,600 --> 02:53:19,080
presented to yeah no it was just

3839
02:53:19,080 --> 02:53:21,439
presented to us so yeah so the rest of

3840
02:53:21,439 --> 02:53:23,840
us so literally I think I believe there

3841
02:53:23,840 --> 02:53:25,479
was three on the committee three or four

3842
02:53:25,479 --> 02:53:28,120
I think and um so they just came back

3843
02:53:28,120 --> 02:53:29,560
and presented it to

3844
02:53:29,560 --> 02:53:32,520
us so and there was some push back at

3845
02:53:32,520 --> 02:53:36,960
the meeting already with it so um um I'm

3846
02:53:36,960 --> 02:53:40,469
sure they're expecting

3847
02:53:40,479 --> 02:53:44,680
it okay go ahead so could I add an amend

3848
02:53:44,680 --> 02:53:46,960
then what you said mayor was uh if we

3849
02:53:46,960 --> 02:53:49,399
could ask staff to come back at the next

3850
02:53:49,399 --> 02:53:51,200
meeting with a comparison of the last

3851
02:53:51,200 --> 02:53:53,319
five years between both conservation

3852
02:53:53,319 --> 02:53:55,399
things what their annual increas has

3853
02:53:55,399 --> 02:53:58,040
been and what was it that you said John

3854
02:53:58,040 --> 02:54:02,000
you wanted us to can't remember now just

3855
02:54:02,000 --> 02:54:03,680
I'd like to see you know they mentioned

3856
02:54:03,680 --> 02:54:05,840
a 19% increase and they mentioned the

3857
02:54:05,840 --> 02:54:08,880
four and a half specifically and then

3858
02:54:08,880 --> 02:54:12,439
the four 4.9 was it for well they said

3859
02:54:12,439 --> 02:54:15,520
4.9 for consumer pric index increase in

3860
02:54:15,520 --> 02:54:17,920
the minimum wage for part-time staff

3861
02:54:17,920 --> 02:54:19,200
which I can't I don't know how many

3862
02:54:19,200 --> 02:54:21,920
part-time staff they have Mike but you

3863
02:54:21,920 --> 02:54:23,640
know a dollar there's a 15 all I'm

3864
02:54:23,640 --> 02:54:26,880
saying there's a 15% increase with no

3865
02:54:26,880 --> 02:54:28,840
explanation they've got one of them

3866
02:54:28,840 --> 02:54:31,279
names which is four and a half of and

3867
02:54:31,279 --> 02:54:32,800
actually the amendment would be Nancy

3868
02:54:32,800 --> 02:54:34,479
what you said which was you could come

3869
02:54:34,479 --> 02:54:36,120
back to us answering the question is

3870
02:54:36,120 --> 02:54:39,800
what happens if we as a council say

3871
02:54:39,800 --> 02:54:42,680
no I don't I don't know who seconded it

3872
02:54:42,680 --> 02:54:47,229
if they'd be okay with that that was

3873
02:54:47,239 --> 02:54:49,319
councilth are you okay with that Mike

3874
02:54:49,319 --> 02:54:51,560
the two amendments they come back with

3875
02:54:51,560 --> 02:54:54,319
the comparison and the answer is what

3876
02:54:54,319 --> 02:54:57,550
happens if we don't want to

3877
02:54:57,560 --> 02:55:00,399
pay and they aren't they asking for this

3878
02:55:00,399 --> 02:55:02,160
to be done by the middle of November so

3879
02:55:02,160 --> 02:55:06,560
they can get their budget this is the

3880
02:55:06,560 --> 02:55:09,160
draft well the funny thing is the report

3881
02:55:09,160 --> 02:55:12,439
asks for information for us for our

3882
02:55:12,439 --> 02:55:14,359
budget considerations but we don't do

3883
02:55:14,359 --> 02:55:16,239
our budget until January but they want

3884
02:55:16,239 --> 02:55:18,880
to know they're doing their budget now

3885
02:55:18,880 --> 02:55:20,680
and that's what Catches Us all little

3886
02:55:20,680 --> 02:55:23,359
every year doesn't it

3887
02:55:23,359 --> 02:55:26,080
yeah so basically if you say yes you're

3888
02:55:26,080 --> 02:55:28,880
committed to that number come January

3889
02:55:28,880 --> 02:55:32,600
that that number is already in

3890
02:55:32,600 --> 02:55:35,399
there and I guess maybe another question

3891
02:55:35,399 --> 02:55:38,000
John you could answer Mr Mayor is do we

3892
02:55:38,000 --> 02:55:39,560
have to belong to the lower Trent

3893
02:55:39,560 --> 02:55:42,160
Conservation Area is that

3894
02:55:42,160 --> 02:55:45,040
mandatory or are people allowed to if

3895
02:55:45,040 --> 02:55:47,000
they don't agree with it

3896
02:55:47,000 --> 02:55:50,160
to I I I don't know but I expect that

3897
02:55:50,160 --> 02:55:51,760
there's something on the municipal act

3898
02:55:51,760 --> 02:55:53,760
that says and and I believe there's a

3899
02:55:53,760 --> 02:55:55,399
lot of implications through you mayor

3900
02:55:55,399 --> 02:56:00,319
logal uh for planning as well as um uh

3901
02:56:00,319 --> 02:56:03,279
some of the building issues as well and

3902
02:56:03,279 --> 02:56:05,200
potentially Transportation three that I

3903
02:56:05,200 --> 02:56:06,520
can think of off the top of my head

3904
02:56:06,520 --> 02:56:08,120
certainly

3905
02:56:08,120 --> 02:56:11,399
planning and it would be more more than

3906
02:56:11,399 --> 02:56:12,359
if I

3907
02:56:12,359 --> 02:56:15,359
may it would be more than what we are

3908
02:56:15,359 --> 02:56:17,560
paying here if we have to start going

3909
02:56:17,560 --> 02:56:22,479
and Hiring Our Own people to do these

3910
02:56:22,479 --> 02:56:25,840
things but we're paying for that no but

3911
02:56:25,840 --> 02:56:30,120
if we if we decided to leave okay lower

3912
02:56:30,120 --> 02:56:32,319
Trent but then you're saying you think

3913
02:56:32,319 --> 02:56:38,239
we're mandated to use a well I I know I think that if there's something

3914
02:56:38,239 --> 02:56:39,920
special that they're doing where we ask

3915
02:56:39,920 --> 02:56:43,160
them to to uh give an opinion on on a uh

3916
02:56:43,160 --> 02:56:44,600
build uh build

3917
02:56:44,600 --> 02:56:47,200
plan or something like that that they

3918
02:56:47,200 --> 02:56:50,600
actually send us a bill for that do they

3919
02:56:50,600 --> 02:56:52,560
that's on top of what we're paying now

3920
02:56:52,560 --> 02:56:54,479
on top of on

3921
02:56:54,479 --> 02:57:00,080
top or whatever it is every time that you give them uh you ask

3922
02:57:00,080 --> 02:57:02,080
them for their comments yes you're buil

3923
02:57:02,080 --> 02:57:05,439
to that a well if that's the case I

3924
02:57:05,439 --> 02:57:07,239
definitely want to look into it because

3925
02:57:07,239 --> 02:57:09,520
we're going from

3926
02:57:09,520 --> 02:57:21,950
122,000 to 145,000 increase that's huge

3927
02:57:21,960 --> 02:57:24,359
you want to get Nick and cruy involed

3928
02:57:24,359 --> 02:57:26,239
want to ask Nick and cruy any questions

3929
02:57:26,239 --> 02:57:29,920
or we let da do that we

3930
02:57:29,920 --> 02:57:32,439
can yeah if you just research it for us

3931
02:57:32,439 --> 02:57:34,720
next time you come back with it they

3932
02:57:34,720 --> 02:57:36,920
yeah and are they coming have they asked

3933
02:57:36,920 --> 02:57:40,359
her the delegation to council

3934
02:57:40,359 --> 02:57:44,279
yet no I don't I don't believe so don't

3935
02:57:44,279 --> 02:57:45,720
we normally do that right she usually

3936
02:57:45,720 --> 02:57:47,319
comes in the fall and does her

3937
02:57:47,319 --> 02:57:50,319
presentation and because I remember this

3938
02:57:50,319 --> 02:57:54,040
came up last year too yeah it's come up

3939
02:57:54,040 --> 02:57:56,600
many there's a big discrepancy in in

3940
02:57:56,600 --> 02:57:59,120
both of the conservation and I know we

3941
02:57:59,120 --> 02:58:02,319
have more more land with the lower Trent

3942
02:58:02,319 --> 02:58:04,319
one but it's the percentage that I'm

3943
02:58:04,319 --> 02:58:06,399
concerned of is if you're raising the

3944
02:58:06,399 --> 02:58:09,200
total budget by 19% and one of them is

3945
02:58:09,200 --> 02:58:11,359
Raising it by 5% there's a huge

3946
02:58:11,359 --> 02:58:14,560
difference of and I believe I know why

3947
02:58:14,560 --> 02:58:16,279
because when I served on ganaraska and

3948
02:58:16,279 --> 02:58:19,720
this is just what I noticed is when coid

3949
02:58:19,720 --> 02:58:21,520
hit with ganaraska they were very

3950
02:58:21,520 --> 02:58:23,680
efficient with any part-time staff or

3951
02:58:23,680 --> 02:58:25,960
temporary staff that they had in that

3952
02:58:25,960 --> 02:58:28,120
they cut them all they to try and save

3953
02:58:28,120 --> 02:58:31,200
money because the the uh Center wasn't

3954
02:58:31,200 --> 02:58:33,000
open anything that they didn't have to

3955
02:58:33,000 --> 02:58:35,479
have stuff they said I'm sorry we you

3956
02:58:35,479 --> 02:58:37,399
know you're temporary or whatever we I

3957
02:58:37,399 --> 02:58:39,200
don't think that's happening and Trenton

3958
02:58:39,200 --> 02:58:40,840
Mike maybe you can answer it seems like

3959
02:58:40,840 --> 02:58:43,040
they want to take these part-time people

3960
02:58:43,040 --> 02:58:44,880
and make them fulltime time when a time

3961
02:58:44,880 --> 02:58:47,160
when things should be less work for them

3962
02:58:47,160 --> 02:58:50,600
instead of more but that's just my

3963
02:58:50,600 --> 02:58:52,680

through budget time right so I

4027
03:01:57,680 --> 03:02:00,160
mean to me it has to be a budget item

4028
03:02:00,160 --> 03:02:01,600
even if we're going to continue with

4029
03:02:01,600 --> 03:02:04,319

councelor O'Neal can explain it or

4034
03:02:15,680 --> 03:02:18,200
something but I believe in past councils

4035
03:02:18,200 --> 03:02:19,560
they used to come and have a three-year

4036
03:02:19,560 --> 03:02:21,160
deal with us or something where they

4037
03:02:21,160 --> 03:02:23,319
would say this is what it is for the

4038
03:02:23,319 --> 03:02:25,160
next three years and then we put it in

4039
03:02:25,160 --> 03:02:27,359
there this now is saying that we're

4040
03:02:27,359 --> 03:02:30,080
going up to $

4041
03:02:30,080 --> 03:02:32,040
9,967 so it looks like they're

4042
03:02:32,040 --> 03:02:34,399
increasing from last year but I would

4043
03:02:34,399 --> 03:02:36,800
agree with you like to just postpone the

03:02:36,800 --> 03:02:39,080

that staff put together a red flag

4156
03:08:25,960 --> 03:08:28,399
system on our budget because we've had

4157
03:08:28,399 --> 03:08:30,359
so many overages on our budget

4158
03:08:30,359 --> 03:08:35,080
already um the the

4159
03:08:35,080 --> 03:08:38,000
um the uh report that came to us today

4160
03:08:38,000 --> 03:08:40,920
there was between budgets and actuals

4161
03:08:40,920 --> 03:08:43,880
they were you know they were over there

4162
03:08:43,880 --> 03:08:46,520
and um so I would just like to see us

4163
03:08:46,520 --> 03:08:54,120
have some kind of a red flag system that uh managers are or U you know talk

4164
03:08:54,120 --> 03:08:55,680
to about their budget before they're

4165
03:08:55,680 --> 03:08:57,160
getting over because I mean some of it

4166
03:08:57,160 --> 03:09:00,560
when it's actual or it's um like a

4167
03:09:00,560 --> 03:09:02,800
budget number for the quarter you know

4168
03:09:02,800 --> 03:09:03,920
they might be over on the quarter but

4169
03:09:03,920 --> 03:09:05,560
they're under on on the on the yearly

4170
03:09:05,560 --> 03:09:07,439
one so we really don't count it until

4171
03:09:07,439 --> 03:09:10,200
they're over on all of it so can we

4172
03:09:10,200 --> 03:09:11,040
catch it

4173
03:09:11,040 --> 03:09:13,560
earlier so we don't get these to us all

4174
03:09:13,560 --> 03:09:16,110
the

4175
03:09:16,120 --> 03:09:17,920
time

4176
03:09:17,920 --> 03:09:20,600
ahead I can address that in Nicole's

4177
03:09:20,600 --> 03:09:22,960
absence Council answorth um and In

4178
03:09:22,960 --> 03:09:25,720
fairness to to Nicole her and I have not

4179
03:09:25,720 --> 03:09:27,600
been able to have our meeting and we do

4180
03:09:27,600 --> 03:09:29,160
have that planned for

4181
03:09:29,160 --> 03:09:30,880
Thursday

4182
03:09:30,880 --> 03:09:34,399
um uh when it comes to the quarter

4183
03:09:34,399 --> 03:09:37,040
reporting uh some things that are within

4184
03:09:37,040 --> 03:09:40,000
the budget

4185
03:09:40,000 --> 03:09:44,359
um take up the entire budget line um

4186
03:09:44,359 --> 03:09:45,960
they're not necessarily Broken Out In

4187
03:09:45,960 --> 03:09:47,960
quarters especially when it comes to

4188
03:09:47,960 --> 03:09:50,239
purchasing uh so that that makes it a

4189
03:09:50,239 --> 03:09:51,319
little bit

4190
03:09:51,319 --> 03:09:54,040
misleading um there's another aspect in

4191
03:09:54,040 --> 03:09:55,600
that is the computer system that we're

4192
03:09:55,600 --> 03:09:58,560
using called Keystone um I got to have a

4193
03:09:58,560 --> 03:10:01,960
look at it yesterday and In fairness to

4194
03:10:01,960 --> 03:10:03,840
Nicole I would like to meet with her

4195
03:10:03,840 --> 03:10:07,080
before I bring that back to council uh

4196
03:10:07,080 --> 03:10:08,800
the program that we implemented here is

4197
03:10:08,800 --> 03:10:11,800
not at the hands of Nicole um but the

4198
03:10:11,800 --> 03:10:17,510
program that we do have will say

4199
03:10:17,520 --> 03:10:21,120
is not very up todate so there's many

4200
03:10:21,120 --> 03:10:23,160
things in the accounting systems that we

4201
03:10:23,160 --> 03:10:24,880
do need to be able to do one of which

4202
03:10:24,880 --> 03:10:25,800
you've

4203
03:10:25,800 --> 03:10:29,479
identified um uh we do need to give our

4204
03:10:29,479 --> 03:10:32,800
senior staff access so that they can

4205
03:10:32,800 --> 03:10:35,279
track but we also need something that is

4206
03:10:35,279 --> 03:10:36,840
a lot more userfriendly

4207
03:10:36,840 --> 03:10:39,439
um I was sadden to see that QuickBooks

4208
03:10:39,439 --> 03:10:42,040
is a lot further ahead than a robust

4209
03:10:42,040 --> 03:10:44,760
Municipal program like Keystone so we

4210
03:10:44,760 --> 03:10:47,120
have we have we have some work to do and

4211
03:10:47,120 --> 03:10:49,479
it will get sorted

4212
03:10:49,479 --> 03:10:52,590
out

4213
03:10:52,600 --> 03:10:56,800
okay so do I so I guess then do I need

4214
03:10:56,800 --> 03:11:00,439
my motion if I can rely on that report

4215
03:11:00,439 --> 03:11:02,359
okay then I'll

4216
03:11:02,359 --> 03:11:06,670
withdraw

4217
03:11:06,680 --> 03:11:10,359

4221
03:11:18,840 --> 03:11:20,600

Reconciliation very well attended by

4231
03:11:43,800 --> 03:11:46,279
uh lots of people that were dressed in

4232
03:11:46,279 --> 03:11:49,920
the orange shirt dat and really it was

4233
03:11:49,920 --> 03:11:52,040
really uh lasted for about an hour and

4234
03:11:52,040 --> 03:11:54,120
15 minutes there was lots of people

4235
03:11:54,120 --> 03:11:56,200
there that were busing them in from the

4236
03:11:56,200 --> 03:12:00,239
uh it was held at the medical center uh

4237
03:12:00,239 --> 03:12:02,000
because they they were afraid to used

4238
03:12:02,000 --> 03:12:04,239
the the road because of all the business

4239
03:12:04,239 --> 03:12:07,560

03:12:10,359 --> 03:12:15,359
the evening in Port hul for the change

4242
03:12:15,359 --> 03:12:16,520
aspiring

4243
03:12:16,520 --> 03:12:19,960
change and they showed about half an

4244
03:12:19,960 --> 03:12:24,279
hour 40 minutes of a um they went

4245
03:12:24,279 --> 03:12:26,920
directly to Winnipeg and showed the

4246
03:12:26,920 --> 03:12:30,309
Museum

4247
03:12:30,319 --> 03:12:35,760
of um Museum of can't think reg way

4248
03:12:35,760 --> 03:12:38,640
putting it now basically uh rights

4249
03:12:38,640 --> 03:12:41,279
freedom and rights and they had a museum

4250
03:12:41,279 --> 03:12:43,279
there was beautiful actually

4251
03:12:43,279 --> 03:12:45,160
but that so that lasted for about half

4252
03:12:45,160 --> 03:12:47,000
an hour and the other portion of it

4253
03:12:47,000 --> 03:12:49,279
which is much better as a panel

4254
03:12:49,279 --> 03:12:53,680
discussion of two um female First

4255
03:12:53,680 --> 03:12:54,920
Nations

4256
03:12:54,920 --> 03:12:57,560
ladies uh one was the mother and one was

4257
03:12:57,560 --> 03:13:00,160
the daughter and they talked about all

4258
03:13:00,160 --> 03:13:01,680
the things that they've been exposed to

4259
03:13:01,680 --> 03:13:04,399
in the last several years they didn't

4260
03:13:04,399 --> 03:13:06,840
talk too much about missing children but

4261
03:13:06,840 --> 03:13:09,120
it was we did talk about not other

4262
03:13:09,120 --> 03:13:11,000
things and what I found particularly

4263
03:13:11,000 --> 03:13:15,760
interesting was that when a First Nation

4264
03:13:15,760 --> 03:13:20,600
lady married her a white person husband

4265
03:13:20,600 --> 03:13:25,600
she lost all of her um rights

4266
03:13:25,600 --> 03:13:29,239
status and that was not the reverse so

4267
03:13:29,239 --> 03:13:33,239
it was very very surprising to me and

4268
03:13:33,239 --> 03:13:35,600
certainly not not the best way to be as

4269
03:13:35,600 --> 03:13:37,359
far as in my

4270
03:13:37,359 --> 03:13:41,560
opinion uh that's it except for the

4271
03:13:41,560 --> 03:13:45,030
proclamation

4272
03:13:45,040 --> 03:13:47,000
uh local government week whereas the

4273
03:13:47,000 --> 03:13:49,920
week of October 15 to 21st is local

4274
03:13:49,920 --> 03:13:51,319

4275
03:13:51,319 --> 03:13:52,960
opportunities to reflect the vital

4276
03:13:52,960 --> 03:13:54,600
Services delivered by Municipal

4277
03:13:54,600 --> 03:13:56,160
governments and whereas Municipal

4278
03:13:56,160 --> 03:13:58,920
governments play a vital role in helping

4279
03:13:58,920 --> 03:14:02,279
the to define the character priorities

4280
03:14:02,279 --> 03:14:04,399
