[1:01] tout a ?t? instaur?e en 1996 en

[1:05] m?moire du r?v?rend Frank tout

[1:07] et de son ?pouse. Cette bourse

[1:10] vise ? souligner le r?le positif

[1:13] que jouent les jeunes dans notre

[1:16] collectivit?. Les bourses tout

[1:19] sont grandement appr?ci?es par

[1:20] les ?coles, les jeunes qui les

[1:24] re?oivent, et leurs familles.

[1:26] Elles sont une partie importante

[1:28] des services de soutien que nous

[1:35] comm?morative est d?cern?

[1:37] annuellement ? deux ?tudiants de

[1:38] la ville de Beaconsfield qui ont

[1:49] la Bourse, les ?tudiants

[2:00] nous n'avons aucun

[2:03] r?cipiendaires, une ?l?ve

[2:04] provenant de la commission

[2:06] scolaire Lester B. Pearson.

[2:07] Aucun ?l?ves de la commission

[2:09] scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys ne

[2:10] s'est qualifi? cette ann?e. La

[2:13] r?cipiendaire pour l'ann?e 2024

[2:16] est Catherine car Donna. --

[2:20] Graduating student from St.

[2:22] Thomas High School. Catherine is

[2:23] deeply engaged in her high

[2:25] school's student life. She

[2:28] excels in her student leadership

[2:30] course, where she has played a

[2:32] key role in organizing events,

[2:34] such as the Terry Fox walk and

[2:37] it's fundraisers. The student

[2:39] carnival and holiday food drive.

[2:42] Additionally, she has

[2:43] contributed to the planning of

[2:44] all school dances and the spring

[2:47] for local seniors. She not only

[2:51] maintains an overall average of

[2:54] 86%, that's great, earning her

[2:57] spot on the St. Thomas High

[2:58] School honour roll, she also is

[3:00] one of the leaders on the girls

[3:03] juvenile basketball team and

[3:05] girls rugby team that competed

[3:07] in the Greater Montr?al athletic

[3:10] association. Kathryn exemplifies

[3:12] what it means to be a leadership

[3:15] student. Her intellect, paired

[3:17] with her unwavering work ethic,

[3:20] consistently places her among

[3:22] the top achievers in her grade.

[3:25] On behalf of the city of

[3:27] Beaconsfield, it gives us great

[3:29] pleasure to offer her the 2024

[3:33] Tupe Memorial scholarship. Ces

[3:37] r?alisations exceptionnelle, son

[3:39] engagement en faveur de

[3:40] l'excellence acad?mique et ses

[3:42] contributions remarquables lui

[3:43] ont valu la bourse

[3:47] comm?morative. Nous la

[3:48] f?licitons chaleureusement et

[3:49] nous lui souhaitons une bonne

[3:52] continuation dans ces projets.

[3:53] En plus d'une bourse de 1000

[3:55] dollars, nous lui offrons une

[3:56] carte loisirs familial pour une

[3:58] p?riode de 12 mois. So, I will

[4:01] ask Kathryn to come up in front

[4:03] here.

[4:08] [Applause]

[4:51] [Applause]

[5:28] J'ai aussi ? f?liciter les

[5:33] athl?tes de Beaconsfield a cette

[5:37] s?ance ce soir. Il y a quatre

[5:41] athl?tes extraordinaires de

[5:42] Beaconsfield a f?licit? ce soir.

[5:44] Au nom de la ville, je suis tr?s

[5:46] fi?re de c?l?brer les

[5:47] r?alisation remarquable dossier

[5:49] jeune. The first athlete is

[5:54] Patrick -- from a young age, he

[5:55] had an interest in swimming. In

[5:58] winter, he swam with the

[6:00] Pointe-Claire swimming team. But

[6:02] on sunny summer days, he trained

[6:05] at the beacon hill pool and the

[6:07] Windermere pool. La bonne

[6:10] nouvelle est que gr?ce ? son

[6:11] talent, sa pers?v?rance et son

[6:13] d?vouement, il repr?sentera le

[6:16] Canada aux Jeux olympiques de

[6:19] Paris en nageant au sein de

[6:20] l'?quipe de relais dans

[6:24] l'?preuve quatre fois 200

[6:26] m?tres. Congratulations,

[6:28] Patrick. Two other high-level

[6:30] young athletes from Beaconsfield

[6:31] must be highlighted this

[6:33] evening, since they were awarded

[6:35] the IO Foundation scholarship.

[6:38] The two athletes are oh fairly

[6:42] -- who stands out in hockey at

[6:46] the attacking position and

[6:48] Christopher Buller, who excels

[6:50] by practising diving. C'est deux

[6:53] enqu?tes ont ?t? recommand?es

[6:54] pour leur talent, leurs

[6:55] r?alisations sportive et leur

[6:57] parcours acad?mique

[7:00] exceptionnel. Cette bourse

[7:01] permet un r?cipiendaire de

[7:04] c?l?brer

[7:05] (---)

[7:06] le plus au sommaire sur le plan

[7:07] ?ducatif est sportif. The fourth

[7:09] athlete is named Felix

[7:13] Cousineau. He developed his

[7:14] passion for cycling since he

[7:16] used it as a means of

[7:18] transportation during his

[7:20] studies in Rimouski. Back in

[7:23] Beaconsfield, he travelled by

[7:25] bike, morning and evening, rain

[7:27] or shine, to his job in

[7:30] Montr?al. I have to tell Felix

[7:32] that madame -- would really,

[7:35] really appreciate his effort to

[7:38] take his bike all the way from

[7:40] Beaconsfield to Montr?al. Gr?ce

[7:43] ? un entra?nement rigoureux, il

[7:45] a particip? r?cemment a une

[7:47] comp?tition de 885 kilom?tres en

[7:53] ?cosse, dont les niveler ?tait

[7:55] tr?s important. I have to point

[7:57] out that the high point was

[7:58] about 770 metres and the total

[8:04] ascent was 16,002 metres. So, it

[8:09] certainly was not just a flat

[8:13] course. Il a termin? la

[8:15] comp?tition en cinq jours, ce

[8:18] qui signifie qu'? 22 ans, il

[8:20] ?tait le plus jeune de

[8:22] l'histoire de cette comp?tition

[8:24] ? l'avoir termin? jusqu'? la

[8:25] fin. F?licitations, F?lix.

[8:28] Congratulations to all these

[8:30] young people.

[8:37] (applaudissements)

[8:39] demander aux commandants de

[8:40] venir faire son rapport sur les

[8:41] activit?s ? Beaconsfield durant

[13:03] Thank you for your confidence,

[13:09] PDQ1 at SPVM point Q C point C

[13:12] A. Thank you. - Est-ce qu'il a

[13:15] des questions pour le

[13:16] commandant? Pas de questions

[13:22] pour le commandant? Alors je

[13:25] vais vous f?liciter pour les

[13:27] programmes avec les a?n?s. C'est

[13:29] un excellent programme et ?a va

[13:32] donner des tr?s, tr?s bon

[13:35] r?sultat. F?licitations ? l?

[13:37] SPVM pour ce programme. C'est

[13:39] r?ellement bien appr?ci?. Je

[13:40] suis certain de tout, les a?n?s.

[13:43] - Merci, Monsieur le Maire.

[13:44] Comme je vous l'avez dit quand

[13:45] j'?tais arriv? en poste, c'?tait

[13:46] ma priorit? au PQ, c'?tait un

[13:50] enjeu aussi, les fraudes, la

[13:52] pr?vention qu'on devait faire au

[13:54] niveau des a?n?s. Donc je suis

[13:55] content des efforts d?ploy?s par

[13:57] les policiers au poste.

[13:59] - Merci beaucoup et je suis

[14:03] tr?s... pas heureux de voir

[14:05] autant de vitesse dans notre

[14:09] ville. Mais heureusement, vous

[14:12] faites de la bonne surveillance.

[14:14] Si les gens arr?tent de faire de

[14:16] la vitesse, ils n'auront pas de

[14:18] billet.

[14:19] - Exactement. C'est pas le

[14:20] nombre de constats, c'est

[14:21] vraiment avoir un impact sur la

[14:22] s?curit? routi?re. C'est le

[14:24] message qu'on essaye de passer

[14:26] sur la route.

[14:27] - C'est clair, c'est clair que

[14:28] les gens encore exc?de beaucoup

[14:31] les limites de vitesse dans la

[14:33] ville, malheureusement.

[14:34] - Oui, il y a du travail ?

[14:35] faire, vous avez raison.

[14:36] - Merci beaucoup.

[14:43] And now, you know, we've had a

[14:47] lot of power outages in

[14:51] Beaconsfield past few months,

[14:55] and I have heard a lot of

[14:57] complaints from many residents.

[15:00] Unfortunately, there is very

[15:02] little we can do with

[15:06] Hydro-Qu?bec, other than make

[15:08] them aware that we have power

[15:10] outages all the time. But I

[15:13] decided that I should write a

[15:16] letter to the president of

[15:20] Hydro-Qu?bec, Mr. Michael Sciba,

[15:23] and I will read the letter that

[15:25] I sent him. It is a French

[15:29] letter, so I will read it in

[15:32] French.

[15:34] - Le 6 juin 2024, monsieur

[15:38] Michael tibia,

[15:40] pr?sident-directeur g?n?ral

[15:44] d'Hydro-Qu?bec,

[15:45] (---)

[15:46] une porte unit? exceptionnel

[15:47] pour un r?sultat durable.

[15:48] Monsieur le pr?sident directeur

[15:49] g?n?ral, je vous ai cr??e au nom

[15:51] des 20000 personnes que je

[15:53] repr?sente ? Beaconsfield et qui

[15:57] vivent depuis les r?centes

[15:58] ann?es des interruptions de

[16:00] services de plus en plus

[16:03] fr?quentes, inattendu, de

[16:05] surcro?t de plus en plus

[16:07] longues. Souvent, de plusieurs

[16:09] jours, ? cause des changements

[16:11] climatiques qui fragilisent

[16:12] votre r?seau de fils a?riens

[16:14] dans une ville comme la n?tre.

[16:17] Dot? d'une forte et dense for?t

[16:20] urbaines, ce joyau

[16:23] environnementale commun est de

[16:24] qualit? contribue de mani?re

[16:26] importante ? r?duire les gaz ?

[16:27] effet de serre dans la lutte

[16:30] mondiale que nous devons tous et

[16:32] toutes men?e pour contribuer

[16:35] pour contrer le r?chauffement

[16:37] climatique. Les enjeux d'une

[16:40] soci?t?, tout comme les

[16:41] responsabilit?s des

[16:42] gestionnaires publics, nous

[16:44] incite ? innover dans nos

[16:45] mani?res de faire pour changer

[16:47] nos modes de vie pour ?tre plus

[16:49] et courir... ?coresponsable, que

[16:52] ce soit dans le choix de nos

[16:53] habitudes de vie, type

[16:55] d'habitation, modes de transport

[16:57] et de consommation, ainsi que

[16:59] par la densification et

[17:01] l'am?nagement de nos

[17:02] territoires. Avec une population

[17:06] qui vieillit et qui d?sirent

[17:07] demeurer autonome, il est

[17:09] essentiel de pouvoir assurer la

[17:12] continuit? et la fiabilit? de

[17:14] l'alimentation ?lectrique

[17:15] partout, en tout temps. Dans cet

[17:18] objectif, il est essentiel de

[17:20] revoir et repenser les

[17:23] am?nagements d'antan afin qu'il

[17:24] puisse r?pondre mieux,

[17:26] efficacement, et de mani?re

[17:27] p?renne au bouleversements

[17:29] climatiques. Ces bouleversements

[17:33] entra?ne des temp?tes de plus en

[17:34] plus violente et extr?me, qui se

[17:38] produisent de plus souvent...

[17:39] plus en plus souvent ? n'importe

[17:40] quel moment de l'ann?e, tout

[17:42] comme les p?riodes de canicule

[17:43] se multiplient au Canada, alors

[17:45] qu'elles ?taient occasionnelle,

[17:48] voire rare. Dans ce contexte,

[17:51] nous croyons qu'il y a eu lieu,

[17:52] Monsieur le pr?sident directeur

[17:54] g?n?ral, d'agir afin de garantir

[17:56] la fiabilit? du r?seau en

[17:59] proc?dant par deux am?lioration,

[18:07] soit ind?niablement... je crois

[18:10] que j'ai perdu une page. Dans ce

[18:14] contexte, nous croyons qu'il y a

[18:15] lieu, Monsieur le pr?sident

[18:16] directeur g?n?ral, d'agir afin

[18:18] de garantir la fiabilit? du

[18:19] r?seau en proc?dant par deux

[18:21] am?lioration. Soit, dans un

[18:23] premier temps, par augmenter la

[18:25] cadence entretient des arbres

[18:27] dans une ville comme la n?tre,

[18:29] o? la densit? arboricole et

[18:33] exceptionnellement ?lev? par

[18:34] rapport ? de nombreux

[18:35] territoriales mais. En ce sens,

[18:38] il serait normal que les mesures

[18:40] d'entretien soit adapt? ? notre

[18:42] territoire et non et ?tre

[18:44] appliqu? comme partout ailleurs.

[18:46] Il est essentiel de tenir compte

[18:48] de l'importance majeure du

[18:51] couvert

[18:52] (---)

[18:53] ? Beaconsfield. Il en r?sultera

[18:54] ? court et ? moyen terme moins

[18:56] d'intervention inattendu et

[18:59] urgent, une plus grande

[19:00] stabilit? du service est moindre

[19:03] inconv?nient pour notre

[19:05] population. Dans un second

[19:06] temps, il faut revoir ? long

[19:10] terme l'enti?ret? du r?seau

[19:13] a?riens, vieillit, et qui doit

[19:14] ?tre r?nov?e dans son ensemble

[19:17] et de saisir cette opportunit?

[19:19] pour enfouir les c?bles de

[19:21] distribution ?lectrique.

[19:24] Ind?niablement, il s'agit d'un

[19:25] choix important, porteurs d'un

[19:27] avenir meilleur. On s'entend que

[19:30] les co?ts d'une telle

[19:32] am?lioration sont ?lev?s. Mais

[19:34] ils vont garantir de mani?re

[19:36] durable ?cologique la fiabilit?

[19:38] du r?seau lui-m?me et du coup,

[19:43] celui de l'alimentation

[19:44] ?lectrique des sites

[19:46] (---)

[19:47] ? Beaconsfield. C'est un choix

[19:48] d'autant plus responsable qu'en

[19:49] plus de garantir une qualit? de

[19:51] vie et une tranquillit? d'esprit

[19:53] de l'ensemble de la population,

[19:55] ils limitera l'intervention sur

[19:57] notre for?t urbaine pour

[20:00] Hydro-Qu?bec. Il y aura le

[20:03] b?n?fice suppl?mentaire de

[20:04] cesser le d?ployer

[20:06] p?riodiquement des ?quipes

[20:08] (---)

[20:09] sans compter le co?t des

[20:10] op?rations d'urgence lorsque les

[20:12] interruptions de services sont

[20:14] applicables aux enjeux

[20:16] climatiques. Toutes ces

[20:17] op?rations sont co?teuses. Il

[20:20] ravage la canop?e de notre for?t

[20:22] urbaine danse qui est

[21:26] Brett, maire de Beaconsfield.

[21:29] Cette lettre a ?t? envoy? le 6

[21:34] juin, je ne me rappelle pas

[21:35] d'avoir eu une r?ponse ? date.

[21:39] Alors maintenant, nous allons

[21:41] passer aux questions ?crites. La

[21:45] premi?re question est de

[21:49] monsieur Michael gros Berg, ils

[21:52] s'aident Place. >> Deposit for

[21:56] tree felling. What was the 500

[22:00] dollar deposit to post on --

[22:02] tree felling permit without any

[22:04] consultation? What is the

[22:05] mechanism to be exempt from

[22:08] $500, since it has a cost in

[22:10] addition to selling 1 to 5

[22:12] trees? Can the deposit be

[22:14] deferred in the event of a

[22:15] felling permit being issued

[22:17] during late fall or winter

[22:18] months? Assuming someone does

[22:20] not replace the felled tree

[22:22] within one year of the permit

[22:24] being issued, will the deposit

[22:26] be re-funded once finds began

[22:29] being levied? Will deposit funds

[22:32] be used to pay for the initial

[22:34] fines? Also, why isn't the

[22:37] deposit refund that time of the

[22:38] tree being felled, given that

[22:39] the permit is fundamentally for

[22:42] felling trees and given that

[22:44] fines are imposed for failing to

[22:47] replace the felled tree? Voici

[22:51] la r?ponse ? monsieur.

[23:03] -- With the emerald ash borer

[23:05] and the cities mature tree park,

[23:06] there's been a significant loss

[23:07] of canopy in recent years. Not

[23:10] only does this canopy provide

[23:13] ecological services, notably in

[23:15] terms of reducing heat islands

[23:17] and improving air quality, it's

[23:19] also a notable feature of our

[23:22] city. To verify tree

[23:26] replacements requires a lot of

[23:27] human resources and when it's

[23:29] not done, many interventions. To

[23:32] help meet the demand, the city

[23:34] offers a service -- a turnkey

[23:37] service from the purchase to the

[23:38] planting of the tree on the

[23:40] site. Offering a subsidy on the

[23:43] purchase cost as well. Tree

[23:46] replacement which must be

[23:47] carried out within 12 months is

[23:49] included in the zoning bylaw.

[23:51] The public consultation was held

[23:53] on this subject on February, 20,

[23:57] 2023. -- The tariff bylaw, which

[23:59] provides the deposit, was

[24:01] amended in 2022. This bylaw does

[24:04] not require consultation. The

[24:06] objective behind the deposit is

[24:08] to preserve the city's canopy.

[24:11] There's no mechanism to be

[24:13] exempted from the deposit. The

[24:15] 12 month deadline for

[24:17] replacement as stipulated in the

[24:18] regulations covers the three

[24:20] seasons, during which it is

[24:21] possible to plant, in addition

[24:23] to being able to benefit from

[24:25] the green program. Reimbursement

[24:27] is made once the replacement has

[24:30] been made. If any statements of

[24:33] offence are issued in the

[24:34] process, these must be paid to

[24:36] the municipal court. As these

[24:38] are two different processes and

[24:41] instances, the amounts cannot be

[24:43] combined or deducted from each

[24:44] other. The fine for failing to

[24:47] replace a tree is $200, plus

[24:50] court costs. The fine for

[24:51] failing a tree without a permit

[24:53] is 20 $500, plus $500 per tree,

[24:57] that is minimum of $3,000, plus

[25:00] court costs. That's the answer

[25:04] to Mr. remembered. Next question

[25:10] is from Nicole Colorado --

[25:15] subject, demolition of existing

[25:17] buildings and construction of

[25:18] new buildings. Mrs. Colorado

[25:21] indicates her objections to the

[25:23] demolition of 107 woodland and

[25:26] 185 Lakeview, and her objections

[25:28] to the new building at 66 St.

[25:31] Louis and 520 -- Rockville and

[25:34] the extension at 74 79 Saint

[25:37] Andrew. So, Madam Corrado, the

[25:42] opposition of the new demolition

[25:45] requests should be sent to the

[25:48] demolition committee, so if you

[25:49] have any objections, please

[25:51] address it to the demolition

[25:55] committee. Next question, item

[25:59] Putin of rolling street. Wood

[26:02] burning. I have sent you an

[26:04] email concerning your requests

[26:06] exclusion to environmental

[26:07] improvement recently. I have not

[26:09] got any response from you. Did

[26:11] you receive it? If you did, may

[26:15] I have an answer from you? How

[26:17] are you going to take action to

[26:19] prevent -- Beaconsfield from

[26:21] their neighbours air pollution

[26:23] behaviour? Adam, this is my

[26:27] answer to your question. Your

[26:30] question was answered during the

[26:31] march council session. The

[26:34] recording is available online.

[26:38] As indicated in March, the

[26:41] enforcement is primarily

[26:43] complaints based. We have not

[26:45] received any complaints and no

[26:47] infraction has been issued to

[26:50] date. We reiterate that if you

[26:52] are witnessing in your

[26:55] neighbourhood continuous

[26:57] burning, please do not hesitate

[26:59] to call Municipal patrol and

[27:02] give them the address right

[27:06] away. As indicated in March, a

[27:08] permit is required in order to

[27:11] install a compliant fireplace.

[27:15] Documentation is required in

[27:16] order to obtain the permit,

[27:19] showing the make and model, and

[27:21] the location in the home. Next

[27:25] question is from Tom Labelle,

[27:29] she -- unkempt properties. The

[27:33] grass on the side of the house

[27:35] at 162 Robert has a section

[27:38] that's close to four feet high.

[27:41] The property on Stonehenge is

[27:44] still a pig pen. There have been

[27:48] a container on the side of the

[27:50] house for over nine months. This

[27:53] property is a disaster. When can

[27:56] we expect the City to fix these

[27:59] issues? Concerning the house on

[28:01] Beaurepaire, the city is aware

[28:03] and acting in accordance with

[28:05] the nuisance bylaw. We will keep

[28:08] monitoring the situation and

[28:11] apply our bylaw. You also

[28:14] mentioned an address on

[28:17] Stonehenge, the property was

[28:18] cleaned last week by the City.

[28:26] And our several questions from

[28:30] Caroline Malcolm from Montrose.

[28:33] The first one is speed bumps at

[28:35] Montrose and Sherbrooke. Hello,

[28:38] status on the speed bumps at the

[28:40] intersection of Montrose and

[28:42] Sherbrooke. Speeding on the

[28:44] public road is a concern for all

[28:45] of us. Our roads are shared by

[28:48] pedestrians, cyclists, scooters,

[28:49] and cars. The space is finite.

[28:53] Many people are rushed,

[28:56] distracted, and multitasking as

[28:57] they walk right by and drive

[29:00] cars. Police cannot be

[29:03] everywhere and would like to

[29:04] know the status of road calming

[29:06] measures as the speed bumps have

[29:08] been asked for since August

[29:10] 23rd, 2023 at the Montrose,

[29:13] Sherbrooke intersection. When I

[29:14] was actually injured by a

[29:16] tractor truck negligently left

[29:18] the backdoor of his truck open

[29:20] and the host dragging on the

[29:22] ground picked up speed as it

[29:24] unraveled, causing me to fall.

[29:26] My puppy is now one year old. I

[29:30] must maintain constant vigilance

[29:31] as this intersection is busy and

[29:35] unfortunately, people do not

[29:36] always stop at the three stop

[29:38] signs at this intersection. I

[29:41] remind you that there is a park

[29:43] bus stop, elementary school, at

[29:45] this intersection. Again, I

[29:47] attest that the speed humps in

[29:49] Sherbrooke work. I have not

[29:50] heard from the traffic Advisory

[29:52] Committee. Madam Malcolm, on

[29:56] this one question, a similar

[29:57] request was refused by a traffic

[29:58] advisory committee previously.

[29:59] Madame Malcolm.

[30:03] There's a raised intersection at

[30:05] the corner of Montrose and North

[30:08] Cliff, therefore, the city will

[30:10] not add this speed bump.

[30:12] However, I really recommend to

[30:17] you to whenever you witnessed

[30:20] people not observing stop signs

[30:24] or speeding, please call the

[30:27] SPVM and if you check the

[30:32] earlier speech that the -- made,

[30:37] he gave you a number to call and

[30:39] you can call the SPVM, and I can

[30:42] assure you that they will pay

[30:45] special attention to your area

[30:47] if you have a complaint about

[30:49] speeding and stop signs.

[30:52] Question two. Lawsuit with City

[30:55] of Montr?al for -- status on the

[30:59] taxes with the City of Montr?al

[31:00] lawsuit and the situation of the

[31:02] parking spots at the West Island

[31:03] REM stations. Given mayor's --

[31:09] mismanagement of the -- 2024,

[31:13] and her administration support

[31:15] financial record, I fear that

[31:16] she will bankrupt the City of

[31:19] Montr?al and expect us all to

[31:21] pay for her pet projects and

[31:24] deficits. She seems to not

[31:26] understand that we need tourist

[31:28] dollars business. And that she

[31:31] cannot keep taxing businesses,

[31:33] homeowners, and car drivers. I

[31:35] have written to her asking that

[31:37] she implements a license fee tax

[31:40] on cyclists and BIXI. The answer

[31:43] was that it is too costly to

[31:45] implement. I do not agree. It is

[31:47] a farce that she's making a plan

[31:50] for 2050 without a plan on how

[31:52] to pay for it. She highly

[31:56] overspent on the renovations for

[31:57] city hall, which took five years

[31:59] to complete, and we have a

[32:00] homeless and housing crisis. I

[32:02] have no desire to take my car

[32:04] into the city, due to the

[32:06] traffic congestion and lack of

[32:10] parking. By the way, there was a

[32:15] pre-budget commission, finance

[32:18] commission held a prebudget

[32:21] hearing recently and you could

[32:25] have submitted a brief to that

[32:30] commission on license fee and

[32:36] taxes on cyclists and BIXI. I

[32:39] agree with you that they are not

[32:42] paying anything for the service

[32:44] of the road and, but you should

[32:48] have actually submitted a brief

[32:50] to that commission pre-budget

[32:56] hearing. As far as the lawsuit

[33:02] with the city, I have to tell

[33:05] you that the parties are

[33:07] analyzing the experts reports

[33:10] and that is now taking place,

[33:15] and the lawyers will then go to

[33:17] court to obtain hearing dates.

[33:21] It is not going to be very

[33:23] short. I don't expect that the

[33:25] hearing date is going to be in

[33:26] the next few months. Now you

[33:31] talk about Madam Malcolm, if you

[33:36] talk about the parking at the

[33:37] REM station. Well, Beaconsfield

[33:41] residents be allowed to park at

[33:42] the West Island REM stations? I

[33:44] hope that there are enough

[33:45] tourists to compensate for

[33:46] greater Montr?al citizens not

[33:49] going into the city. There is

[33:51] currently no efficient public

[33:52] transportation that makes sense

[33:54] for most of the West Island. The

[33:56] STM is running a deficit. Please

[33:59] advise what you can do as

[34:01] concerned citizens, as we are

[34:02] being taxed without

[34:04] representation. Thank you for

[34:05] your time and consideration. For

[34:08] the parking question, you should

[34:13] actually send your concerns and

[34:16] your suggestions to CDPQ infra,

[34:20] who operates the REM. I know

[34:23] that the STM is reviewing the

[34:26] transit, transportation plan in

[34:29] order to create better access to

[34:32] the REM by transit and I will

[34:34] make a few comments on that

[34:36] later. Kirkland has also stated

[34:39] that its ramp arcing will be

[34:42] exclusive to Kirkland residents.

[34:45] I believe there are only 200

[34:47] parking spots and Kirkland has

[34:52] actually made a deal with a

[34:54] developer to provide those 200

[34:57] spots, but it will be exclusive

[35:00] to Kirkland residents. And

[35:03] Montr?al has indicated it will

[35:04] not support additional parking

[35:06] for the REM. So, the only way

[35:09] for Beaconsfield residents to

[35:12] get to the REM will be the

[35:15] following. The following

[35:18] choices. By walking, by bike, by

[35:22] public transit, limited, which

[35:25] is inadequate right now, or by

[35:30] taxi. Yes, there will be an

[35:34] increase on the registration tax

[35:37] to support public transit on

[35:40] cars. Registration tax on cars

[35:43] will go from $59 to $150 on

[35:49] January, 2025. This is to

[35:53] support the public transit and,

[35:55] which is totally inadequate when

[35:58] it comes to Beaconsfield and

[36:00] certainly inadequate to get us

[36:02] to the REM. Madame Malcolm,

[36:08] Montr?al controls all decisions

[36:11] taken on public transit and

[36:16] Montr?al is in a mission to

[36:18] illuminate as many cars as

[36:20] possible from the road. Montr?al

[36:24] does not understand the reality

[36:27] of the West Island. Next

[36:32] question is from Mr. Derek

[36:34] pounds and I will pass that one

[36:38] to Mr. Boileau, director

[36:41] general, I've answered enough

[36:43] questions already.

[36:45] >> Thank you, Mister, so, hello,

[36:47] Mr. pounced. Fancier question,

[36:49] since this project that's a

[36:51] continuation since 2017, we've

[36:55] held it's much more beneficial

[36:56] for the City to keep the same

[36:58] consultant, therefore, we are

[36:59] proposing to award a contract by

[37:01] mutual agreement within the

[37:02] limits of the applaudable

[37:04] contract rules. The -- is

[37:07] partial since it's not necessary

[37:09] for the designer engineer to be

[37:11] present full-time, since we have

[37:13] our own inspectors. The --

[37:16] amount of -- is not included in

[37:18] the boring bylaw, it will be

[37:19] financed by the surplus reserved

[37:22] from professional services. The

[37:24] mandate does not include the

[37:26] large, sandy area and the

[37:28] intervention area is from the --

[37:30] to the east, the jetty and the

[37:32] small sandy space to the west. I

[37:36] do hope that answers your

[37:37] question, sir.

[37:38] >> Thank you, Mister wallow. And

[37:40] now we will go to the questions

[37:42] from the floor. I guess we went

[37:46] through a lot of questions and

[37:48] everybody has disappeared. So,

[37:51] anybody, do you have any

[37:53] questions? No, Yves, no

[37:56] questions? Thank you, okay, we

[37:58] will go on to the agenda.

[38:07] >> Thank you for being here.

[38:09] >> Yes, thank you for staying as

[38:12] long as you did.

[50:02] Minutes of the Environmental

[50:03] Advisory Committee meeting of

[50:04] May 7, 2024.

[50:09] The comments, Mister Chairman?

[50:11] >> Yes, Mister Mayor, thank you.

[50:14] The last committee meeting for

[50:15] the environmental committee, we

[50:18] were on priorities for the rest

[50:20] of this year and also into next

[50:22] year, and the three priorities

[50:27] the Environment committee had

[50:28] mentioned are the priority

[50:31] action number one, which is

[50:32] really the importance of trees.

[50:35] We have heard people talk about,

[50:37] you know, the cost of tree

[50:39] permits and the cost of falling

[50:41] trees and everything else, but I

[50:43] have to remind everybody that

[50:45] trees are very, very important

[50:48] not only to our city and our

[50:51] planet, but at the same time

[50:53] that we actually benefit from

[50:55] the air quality that trees

[50:57] produce, so they absorb carbon

[50:59] and they give off oxygen. So,

[51:02] where we get the air that we

[51:04] breathe is actually coming from

[51:06] the ocean instead of trees, so

[51:08] they are extremely important and

[51:09] we sometimes forget exactly what

[51:11] trees are doing and the

[51:13] importance, and at the same

[51:14] time, as we suggested before,

[51:16] they provide shade, they provide

[51:18] the canopy, at the same time,

[51:20] they provide the charm that many

[51:22] of our visitors who come to

[51:25] Beaconsfield just admire just

[51:26] how incredible we are as to have

[51:28] all these trees and that cottage

[51:32] field atmosphere. So, at the

[51:35] same time, I would just remind

[51:36] everyone that the City does have

[51:38] the grant program, for people

[51:41] who, residents who've had to cut

[51:44] trees. There is a subsidy

[51:47] involved. Depending on the

[51:49] nature of the permit and at the

[51:50] same time, the city has a free

[51:53] program to plant trees on the

[51:55] city portion of all of our home

[51:58] lots. So, we certainly advocate

[52:01] for that to be used for people

[52:05] looking to add that or -- to

[52:08] their property. Second priority

[52:09] has to do with increasing

[52:13] biodiversity. At the same time,

[52:14] reducing the environmental

[52:15] impact of our communities. So,

[52:17] there are two points that we've

[52:18] touched on there. And just to

[52:22] back off a second, is the fact

[52:25] there are at least 1 million

[52:26] species that are on the

[52:29] endangered or actually on the

[52:32] extinction list. So, at that

[52:34] point, you know, event --

[52:40] biodiversity is changing and we

[52:41] want to encourage locally,

[52:45] certainly bees and butterflies

[52:46] that are also endangered. So

[52:48] with that in mind, we are

[52:51] talking to develop some plans as

[52:54] well. We can work with the City

[52:56] to encourage bee and butterfly

[52:59] habitats. At the same time,

[53:01] let's say on city property, on

[53:04] avenues green spaces, we need to

[53:06] encourage plants on our home

[53:08] properties as well. The other

[53:10] thing is to, in terms of the

[53:13] environmental impact, we

[53:15] certainly do, and are aware, of

[53:18] the dangers and the unhealthy

[53:21] situations that burning wood

[53:23] does for the community. I

[53:27] understand some people want to

[53:28] burn wood for various reasons,

[53:29] but there's nothing that anybody

[53:31] can come up with to say that

[53:33] there is a real benefit to

[53:36] burning wood. We know it's very

[53:39] unhealthy for anyone who can

[53:40] breathe it would smoke and we

[53:42] would remind people who burned

[53:44] to, you know, just walk outside

[53:46] and see if they can smell the

[53:48] wood burning because it is

[53:50] harmful to their health and too

[53:52] many of the people, to children,

[53:55] to seniors, and also to those

[53:58] with health issues. The other

[54:02] thing, last priority is that we

[54:04] continue to advocate for the

[54:07] City to continue its education

[54:08] and communication programs. We

[54:11] are actually looking for

[54:14] residents that we can identify

[54:16] as leaders and ambassadors, so

[54:18] we can see how they are able to

[54:20] live in an environmentally

[54:21] friendly way. So that way, we

[54:24] can learn from them and thank

[54:25] them. And at the same time, copy

[54:27] what they're doing so that we

[54:29] can actually try, in our own

[54:31] little way, to combat the global

[54:33] warming that we're seeing

[54:36] happening across our planet. So,

[54:38] that is it. I saw a propose of

[54:41] minutes. Thank you for the time.

[55:30] 53.4 Minutes of the Finance

[55:31] Advisory Committee meeting of

[55:32] May 21, 2024.

[55:34] >> Mister Chairman, any

[55:36] comments?

[55:37] >> I won't be short and sweet

[55:39] like Dominic, I will have a few

[55:41] more comments. First of, Mister

[55:44] Mayor, good job on presenting

[55:46] the financial report. Thank you

[55:48] very much. You know, at the

[55:53] finance committee, obviously, we

[55:54] review the auditors report in

[55:57] detail. More importantly, we

[55:59] exchange on direction that the

[56:02] City should take or is planning

[56:04] to take or recommendations to

[56:05] come back to Council and to

[56:10] continue our, well, our efforts

[56:11] in Beaconsfield. One thing that

[56:14] came across is that last year,

[56:21] our -- welcome taxes, as we call

[56:22] them, were much lower than the

[56:24] previous year. That was

[56:28] expected. You know, we saw the

[56:30] writing on the wall and

[56:32] accordingly, we budget knowing

[56:34] that we thought there would be

[56:35] less than it was. In 2022, it

[56:38] was over $6 million in transfer

[56:41] taxes. In 2023, it was 4.7.

[56:45] That's a big difference. That

[56:47] difference impacts our surplus,

[56:50] right? So, our surplus this

[56:52] year, as the mayor pointed out,

[56:54] was around 1.3, lower than

[56:56] previous years. But it is still

[56:59] a surplus nonetheless, so that

[57:01] is a good thing. When we look at

[57:04] that, we also look at expenses,

[57:05] additional revenues, and

[57:07] especially expenses that are

[57:10] greater than expected. Water

[57:13] stood out when we look at the

[57:16] auditors reports, and the

[57:19] administration is taking a look

[57:20] at why our costs of acquiring

[57:23] water is so high, especially

[57:25] versus what we bill to

[57:27] residents. Ideally, it levels

[57:30] out, right? What it costs to

[57:32] acquire the water, what you

[57:33] build should be a wash, no pun

[57:36] intended. But this year, there

[57:39] was about, if I recall, well, a

[57:40] good $500,000 more than expected

[57:42] and water costs. So, the

[57:44] administration is looking at

[57:46] that. But there were some

[57:49] positive impacts. Demolishing

[57:53] the big white barn at the lord

[57:56] Reading yacht club came in

[57:59] $200,000 less than we had

[58:00] budgeted for. So, that's a good

[58:03] thing. The finance committee

[58:08] also had a good discussion about

[58:10] our debt and our need to invest

[58:12] in infrastructure. What or

[58:14] whether the infrastructure is

[58:15] below or above the ground, we

[58:18] need to keep up. And there was a

[58:21] good debate around the table on,

[58:23] you know, how do you strike that

[58:26] right balance. You know, it's

[58:30] not easy, it's not meant to be

[58:31] easy either. It's not easy, it's

[58:34] not meant to be easy either. Not

[58:36] investing in our city is not an

[58:38] option. Going too quick, that

[58:40] translates into a higher debt

[58:42] and then ultimately a higher

[58:44] taxation. That is not right

[58:45] either, so we need to strike a

[58:46] balance.. And I can say that

[58:51] that conversation can continue.

[58:54] Moving ahead, I do want to

[58:56] announce that after 23 years of

[59:00] living in Beaconsfield, one of

[59:02] our community members has

[59:03] decided to sell his home and

[59:05] leave Beaconsfield, downsize,

[59:08] Frank Belvedere. Frank is an

[59:13] incredible individual. He has

[59:16] donated his time, skill, and

[59:18] passion for Beaconsfield on a

[59:20] number of committees, but namely

[59:22] the finance committee. So he had

[59:25] to regrettably withdraw from the

[59:27] committee, as he is no longer a

[59:29] resident of Beaconsfield, which

[59:32] on the flipside, thank you

[59:34] frank, I don't know if you're

[59:35] watching, but thank you very

[59:36] much, but on the flip side, that

[59:38] means there is a spot open on

[59:39] the finance committee. So we

[59:41] sent oh, Roger and I were

[59:44] smiling because we had a bit of

[59:45] work ahead of us, we sent out an

[59:48] announcement on inviting

[59:50] Beaconsfield residents to raise

[59:51] their hand and volunteer. Well,

[59:55] sirs, we had a lot of good

[59:57] candidates, Mister Mayor. I have

[1:00:01] got to say, in Beaconsfield, we

[1:00:03] are blessed with some really

[1:00:05] skilled individuals out there.

[1:00:08] At last count, eight. But eight

[1:00:12] that I got to say my only

[1:00:15] concern is that we only have one

[1:00:16] spot open with eight candidates.

[1:00:19] So someone is going to be

[1:00:21] disappointed and that hurts me.

[1:00:24] But we will land on the right

[1:00:26] person. So in a nutshell that is

[1:00:33] it. I just realized I said that

[1:00:34] all an English. I apologize. I

[1:00:37] will gladly repeated in French

[1:00:38] another time. And that's about

[1:00:39] it, Mister Mayor, thank you for

[1:00:40] the time.

[1:00:42] >> Next time, say it in Italian.

[1:00:44] >> I could do that, too, I could

[1:00:46] do that, too.

[1:00:48] >> Do you propose?

[1:00:49] >> I do propose.

[1:00:54] >> Moved seconded. All in

[1:00:56] favour? - ? l'unanimit?. 53.5

[1:01:01] D?p?t de proc?s-verbaux des

[1:01:02] s?ances du Comit? de d?molition

[1:01:03] ? compter de janvier 2024.

[1:01:04] - Monsieur le Pr?sident. Des

[1:01:06] commentaires?

[1:01:08] - Merci, Monsieur le Maire. It's

[1:01:11] a new thing that we are starting

[1:01:13] to do. We will now be doing the

[1:01:18] deposit or the tabling of the

[1:01:21] minutes of the demolition

[1:01:24] committee. As a point of

[1:01:25] interest, we had three meetings,

[1:01:28] which included five or six

[1:01:31] houses since the beginning of

[1:01:33] the year.

[1:01:50] (---)

[1:01:52] Le proc?s-verbal sera d?pos?.

[1:01:56] Entre-temps, si les questions de

[1:01:58] d?molition vous int?resse, les

[1:02:01] proc?s-verbaux seront de toute

[1:02:03] fa?on mis en ligne sur le site

[1:02:05] de la ville, g?n?ralement dans

[1:02:07] les jours o? les semaines qui

[1:02:09] suivent la signature du

[1:02:11] proc?s-verbal. Donc il y a...

[1:02:13] ces pas n?cessaire d'attendre la

[1:02:14] prochaine s?ance du conseil.

[1:02:16] Parfois, ?a peut aller plus vite

[1:02:17] d'aller sur le site de la ville.

[1:02:19] Merci, Monsieur le Maire.

[1:02:23] - Est-ce que...

[1:02:25] - Non, c'est un d?p?t.

[1:02:30] - O.K., c'est un d?p?t.

[1:02:32] (rires)

[1:02:33] C'est vrai, c'est vrai.

[1:02:37] -

[1:02:38] >> 53.6 Minutes of the Traffic

[1:02:39] Advisory Committee meeting of

[1:02:40] May 17, 2024. - Monsieur le

[1:02:43] Pr?sident, avez-vous des

[1:02:44] commentaires?

[1:02:45] - J'ai des commentaires et je

[1:02:46] veux faire la proposition du

[1:02:48] d?p?t du proc?s-verbal. Nous

[1:02:51] avons ?videmment, ? chaque

[1:02:53] r?union, ?norm?ment de dossiers

[1:02:55] attrist? qui porte souvent sur

[1:02:57] des mesures de mitigation de la

[1:03:00] circulation. Traffic calming

[1:03:04] measures, speed bumps, elevated

[1:03:10] platforms at intersections and

[1:03:12] so on and so forth. Invariably,

[1:03:16] what we do now is to command a

[1:03:23] speed survey, essentially to see

[1:03:25] if there is an issue with

[1:03:26] traffic and speed in a given

[1:03:28] area. So if you have requests,

[1:03:31] it might take a little while for

[1:03:32] it to be treated. Please be

[1:03:34] patient. But before we decide to

[1:03:36] go ahead with or without a

[1:03:38] calming measure, we want to make

[1:03:39] sure that there is in fact an

[1:03:42] issue that needs to be resolved.

[1:03:45] Plus particuli?rement, lors de

[1:03:47] la derni?re r?union, dans le

[1:03:49] rapport, le proc?s-verbal que

[1:03:50] nous d?posons, il y avait deux

[1:03:53] dossiers ? traiter, justement

[1:03:57] suite ? des ?tudes de

[1:03:58] circulation qui nous avait ?t?

[1:03:59] soumis par l'administration.

[1:04:01] Alors il s'agit de demandes de

[1:04:06] mesures de mitigation de la

[1:04:08] circulation de la vitesse sur la

[1:04:10] rue punch ailleurs dans mon

[1:04:12] district, le district num?ro 2,

[1:04:14] de m?me que dans la r?f?re, dans

[1:04:16] le district de ma coll?gue

[1:04:18] madame Verdun. Dans les deux

[1:04:20] cas, les sondages sont revenus ?

[1:04:22] l'effet qu'il y avait pas de

[1:04:25] probl?matique de vitesse ?

[1:04:27] proprement parler qui

[1:04:28] n?cessitaient l'installation de

[1:04:30] dos-d'?ne. Donc nous

[1:04:31] recommandons au conseil de ne

[1:04:33] pas aller vers ces avenues l?.

[1:04:37] Les vitesses, dans les deux cas,

[1:04:38] sont des moyennes qui sont

[1:04:40] acceptables. Je vous remercie.

[1:04:42] Thank you. - Alors, qui seconde?

[1:04:46] - J'appuie.

[1:04:48] - En faveur. Monsieur le

[1:04:53] Pr?sident, je suis d'accord.

[1:04:55] Quand on entend le nombre de

[1:04:58] billets que le commandant nous a

[1:05:00] rapport? aujourd'hui, on a

[1:05:03] r?ellement un probl?me de

[1:05:05] vitesse ? Beaconsfield. Et c'est

[1:05:10] dommage, parce que souvent, on

[1:05:15] se plaint de la vitesse ?

[1:05:16] Beaconsfield mais on en fait

[1:05:17] nous autres. Alors c'est

[1:05:21] r?ellement le probl?me.

[1:05:22] - Oui. Je vous dirais, c'est

[1:05:23] comme lorsqu'on est pris dans la

[1:05:26] circulation, on oublie que c'est

[1:05:27] nous qui sommes la cause du

[1:05:30] probl?me.

[1:05:31] - Oui. C'est vrai.

[1:05:32] - Merci.

[1:05:36] - Autorisation pour la fermeture

[1:05:37] de rue lors de l'?v?nement de

[1:05:39] la. Comp?tition des nageurs au

[1:05:43] Club de Natation Beaurepaire le

[1:05:44] 8 ao?t 2024 de 7 h ? 20 h et que

[1:05:45] les co?ts de services sanitaires

[1:05:46] soient pay?s par la Ville.

[1:05:48] - Je propose.

[1:05:49] >> Propose. - J'appuie.

[1:05:50] - En faveur?

[1:05:52] - ? l'unanimit?.

[1:05:57] Authorization to request a grant

[1:05:58] for Celebrate Canada for

[1:05:59] 2024-2025

[1:06:01] >> Proposed.

[1:06:02] >> And seconded.

[1:06:03] >> All in favour? - D?p?t des

[1:06:06] rapports des directeurs.

[1:06:09] - Monsieur le directeur g?n?ral.

[1:06:10] - Merci, Monsieur le Maire. Rien

[1:06:12] de particulier ? souligner,

[1:06:13] (---)

[1:06:14] de visionnement des s?ances du

[1:06:17] conseil par les citoyens. Les

[1:06:18] rapports sur les permis ainsi

[1:06:19] que la patrouille municipale,

[1:06:21] qui sont d?pos?s pratiquement

[1:06:23] chaque mois. Puis je pense qu'on

[1:06:25] arrive ? la fin du nettoyage du

[1:06:28] printemps, on esp?re pouvoir

[1:06:31] prendre part ? d'autres

[1:06:33] activit?s

[1:06:34] (---)

[1:06:35] . Au service des loisirs pour la

[1:06:37] semaine du patrimoine, pr?parer

[1:06:39] la f?te du 21 juin, 24 juin, 1er

[1:06:43] juillet et autres f?tes qui s'en

[1:06:44] viennent.

[1:06:46] - Merci, Monsieur le Directeur

[1:06:49] g?n?ral. Ce soir, nous avons eu

[1:06:50] la chance de visiter le nouveau

[1:06:53] chalet Abigail, c'est r?ellement

[1:06:56] fameux comme chalet. ?a va ?tre

[1:07:01] r?ellement une addition dans

[1:07:05] notre programme de culture et

[1:07:07] loisirs, une grande addition, je

[1:07:10] suis certain que les r?sidents

[1:07:13] vont pouvoir en jouir le plus

[1:07:15] possible.

[1:07:19] >> Closing of the meeting. -

[1:07:24] Alors l?, qui propose la

[1:07:26] fermeture? Bon, alors tout le

[1:07:30] monde est en faveur? ?a semble

[1:07:34] bon. Alors ?coutez, merci

[1:07:36] beaucoup.

[1:07:37] Thank you very much for staying

[1:07:39] until the very end. We

[1:07:42] appreciate that. It was kind of

[1:07:44] a, rather a cozy meeting,

[1:07:46] because you are the only three

[1:07:48] that stayed here until the end.

[1:07:51] But it was appreciated. And to

[1:07:54] those that watch us on the

[1:07:56] webcast, - Merci beaucoup. Nous

[1:08:01] avons certainement votre int?r?t

[1:08:03] et vous ?tes surtout int?ress?

[1:08:07] sur les activit?s de la ville,

[1:08:08] alors c'est en mieux. La

[1:08:12] beaucoup. And I would say watch

[1:08:16] for the next two or three days,

[1:08:17] it is going to be very hot, and

[1:08:20] everybody should be looking for

[1:08:22] a cooling approach, because it's

[1:08:24] going to be, for this time of

[1:08:26] year, it's going to be unusually

[1:08:29] hot, in the high 30s. That's the

[1:08:32] forecast. So be careful. Stay in

[1:08:34] your air conditioned a house.

[1:08:36] [Laughter]

[1:08:37] Or stay in your poll.

[1:08:39] >> Mister Mayor, if I could just

[1:08:40] say to those watching on the

[1:08:44] webcast, our outdoor pools are

[1:08:46] in the process of their

[1:08:47] membership drive, too. So we

[1:08:50] encourage everybody to become

[1:08:51] members, and as you, say they

[1:08:52] can benefit from the hot weather

[1:08:55] that's coming. So it's --

[1:08:58] frankly, the pools are probably

[1:09:00] the best investment that anyone

[1:09:01] can make.

[1:09:02] >> And if you know of any

[1:09:06] seniors that are having

[1:09:08] problems, please call us at the

[1:09:10] city, because we do want to take

[1:09:13] care of our seniors,

[1:09:15] particularly during a period of

[1:09:17] very hot weather. Thank you.

[1:09:21] Good night. Bonsoir.
