counselor Brown

please thank
you whereas on January 23rd

13
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:23,560
2025 the glomeration of vild De maral
adopted the bylaw authorizing a loan of

14
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:29,520
$20 million to finance the acquisition
of land for the

15
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:34,520
quatin project the bylaw whereas
according according to the town of Bader

16
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:39,439
the glomeration of Montreal did not have
the authority under either the ACT

17
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:44,560
respecting the exercise of certain
Municipal powers in certain Urban

18
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:53,159
agglomerations or
decree 12 29-2 2005 to adopt the

19
00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:59,079
bylaw whereas according to the town of
beder the bylaw is unreasonable in that

20
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:04,799
it imposes a tax burden on the link
towns without specifying which projects

21
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:09,879
and developments covered by the bylaw
are to be assumed by the

22
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:16,840
agglomeration whereas furthermore the
bylaw is imprecise incomplete and

23
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:21,720
unintelligible in that no council member
or normally intelligent person can

24
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:26,760
understand its true meaning by simply
reading it whereas all the

25
00:02:24,519 --> 00:02:31,840
representatives of the member
municipalities of the association the

26
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,840

ASM who were present at the meeting of
the

28
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:46,080
cons oppose the adoption of the bylaw
whereas under the circumstances the town

29
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:50,800
of bad dery wishes to initiate
proceedings before the appropriate

30
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:57,680
authorities to prevent the bylaw from
coming into force or to having it

31
00:02:53,840 --> 00:03:05,159
cancelled I move to mandate the law firm
pre for AOC to file with the commiss

um timeline that we're working against

Mayors we have one V one vote at the
glomeration and we did vote uh against

this however with that one vote um the
motion uh was was adopted and uh this is

47
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:41,080
really our only recourse into uh holding
Montreal accountable so that's the short

48
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:45,720
of it um all in
