[0:22]

ask somebody to please adopt the
[0:28]
agenda it
I move to adopt the agenda of the
[0:32]
special meeting of the Council of
February 18 2025 as
[0:38]
drafted councelor to second please
councelor guber thank you all in favor
[0:43]
unanimous thank you there is only one
item on the agenda today and it is uh
[0:49]
the town's opposition to loan bylaw of
the AG glomeration de Morad to finance
[0:53]
the acquisition of land for the carer ne
Hippodrome project that will be
[1:00]
counselor Brown
[1:07]
please thank
you whereas on January 23rd
[1:13]
2025 the glomeration of vild De maral
adopted the bylaw authorizing a loan of
[1:20]
$20 million to finance the acquisition
of land for the
[1:25]
quatin project the bylaw whereas
according according to the town of Bader
[1:31]
the glomeration of Montreal did not have
the authority under either the ACT
[1:36]
respecting the exercise of certain
Municipal powers in certain Urban
[1:42]
agglomerations or
decree 12 29-2 2005 to adopt the
[1:50]
bylaw whereas according to the town of
beder the bylaw is unreasonable in that
[1:56]
it imposes a tax burden on the link
towns without specifying which projects
[2:02]
and developments covered by the bylaw
are to be assumed by the
[2:07]
agglomeration whereas furthermore the
bylaw is imprecise incomplete and
[2:14]
unintelligible in that no council member
or normally intelligent person can
[2:19]
understand its true meaning by simply
reading it whereas all the
[2:24]
representatives of the member
municipalities of the association the
[2:29]
municipality
[2:32]
ASM who were present at the meeting of
the
[2:37]
cons oppose the adoption of the bylaw
whereas under the circumstances the town
[2:43]
of bad dery wishes to initiate
proceedings before the appropriate
[2:48]
authorities to prevent the bylaw from
coming into force or to having it
[2:53]
cancelled I move to mandate the law firm
pre for AOC to file with the commiss
[3:01]
municipal dubec the town of Bader's
opposition to the bylaw authorizing a
[3:08]
loan of $20 million to finance the
acquisition of land for the quatier in
[3:13]
the morod Drome project and to file an
application with the Superior Court to
[3:20]
have the bylaw declared null and void
and to represent the town and take all
[3:26]
necessary steps in these proceedings to
mandate the town's representative on the
[3:32]
board of the association
municipality ASM to follow said
[3:42]
proceedings
second thank you councelor Gruber before
[3:46]
we go to a vote um we generally try to
avoid special um Council meetings uh to
[3:54]
make everything transparent and include
them with our regular meetings however
[3:57]
uh there is quite a um spefic specific
um timeline that we're working against
[4:03]
in order that this resolution be filed
on time which is the end of this week so
[4:08]
unfortunately we weren't able to add it
to our regular meeting um and in
[4:12]
addition I will say that this is a joint
uh decision on behalf of all the ASM
[4:18]
Mayors we have one V one vote at the
glomeration and we did vote uh against
[4:23]
this however with that one vote um the
motion uh was was adopted and uh this is
[4:31]
really our only recourse into uh holding
Montreal accountable so that's the short
[4:38]
of it um all in
favor it's unanimous thank you and I
