[0:57] inviter le commandant à venir

[0:58] faire son rapport sur les

[1:00] activités à Beaconsfield.

[1:07] - Merci beaucoup.

[1:10] >> Thank you. This is the report

[1:11] of the crime for the past month.

[1:14] Pour les événements criminels,

[1:15] on compte ici, à Beaconsfield,

[1:17] une introduction par effraction

[1:18] dans un commerce. Les enquêteurs

[1:20] sont présentement au dossier et

[1:21] ça va suivre son cours. Il y a

[1:24] également un homme qui a été

[1:25] portée disparue d', qui a été

[1:26] retrouvé rapidement grâce à la

[1:28] collaboration du public. Et la

[1:30] rapidité des agents du PDQ. Il

[1:33] se porte bien et il est de

[1:34] retour chez lui. Au niveau des

[1:37] opérations sur la sécurité

[1:38] routière, nos agents ont

[1:40] effectué huit opérations sur le

[1:41] territoire de Beaconsfield

[1:42] depuis notre dernière rencontre,

[1:43] pour un total de 38 constats

[1:45] émis pour différentes

[1:46] infractions, dont la vitesse,

[1:48] zone 40 kilomètres heure et des

[1:50] arrêts stops. Nos vélos sont en

[1:52] fonction sur les fat bikes et

[1:57] ils ont parcouru de plus de 20

[1:59] kilomètres de vélo sur le

[2:00] territoire et ils ont participé

[2:01] à des opérations sur la sécurité

[2:03] routière également pour faire

[2:05] respecter différents aspects du

[2:06] cours de la route. Il patrouille

[2:07] également les sentiers afin de

[2:08] faire respecter la

[2:09] réglementation sur les parcs est

[2:10] toujours en fat bikes. Pour nos

[2:12] agents communautaires, ils ont

[2:14] effectué neuf rencontres dans

[2:15] les écoles dans les derniers

[2:16] mois. Et ont donné des conseils

[2:17] de prévention au sujet de

[2:20] l'intimidation sur les réseaux

[2:21] sociaux. C'est ce qui complète

[2:24] mon rapport sur les faits

[2:25] saillants pour le conseil de

[2:26] ville de Beaconsfield. Encore

[2:28] une fois, je vous remercie pour

[2:29] votre confiance. Vous pouvez

[2:32] composer en tout temps le

[2:45] being here. You may call 514 --

[2:49] at anytime through the station,

[2:50] or me at PDQ1 at spvm.qc.ca.

[2:55] Please be insured we are

[2:56] available for any concerns

[2:58] raised by the citizens of

[3:00] Beaconsfield. Thank you.

[3:07] - Merci beaucoup pour votre bon

[3:08] travail, commandant. Any

[3:10] questions? Est-ce qu'il y a des

[3:11] questions au commandant? Alors

[3:15] c'est clair.

[3:16] (rires)

[3:17] Merci beaucoup.

[3:18] - Merci.

[3:20] - Alors nous avons une question

[3:24] écrite. Qu'on a reçu de madame

[3:27] Nicole Cora dos de

[3:28] Saint-Andrews.

[3:37] She makes comments and

[3:38] suggestions about heritage

[3:40] buildings and animal welfare.

[3:42] Mrs. Carotid, your comments will

[3:46] be passed on to the

[3:49] administration. And I'm sure

[3:51] that they will take note of your

[3:54] comments. Thank you very much.

[3:55] - Alors nous allons passer

[3:57] maintenant à la période de

[3:58] questions sur le plancher.

[4:00] Est-ce qu'il y a des questions

[4:02] sur le plancher? Ça va bien.

[4:09] (rires)

[4:16] - Ce ne sera pas sur le

[4:18] patrimoine, cette fois-ci.

[4:19] (rires)

[4:20] - Je veux savoir, on parle de

[4:21] travaux sur la passerelle

[4:22] piétonne. Est-ce que ce sont des

[4:24] gros travaux, des petites

[4:25] réparations? Qu'est-ce que...?

[4:28] Est-ce qu'on va fermer la

[4:29] passerelle?

[4:30] - Monsieur Boileau va répondre.

[4:31] - Merci pour votre question. En

[4:33] fait, c'est pour une des piles

[4:35] qui est sous la passerelle. Qui

[4:37] montre un peu son squelette.

[4:40] Donc on va cacher ça, l'abrier.

[4:42] C'est ça la nature des travaux.

[4:44] C'est pour une des pilotes qui

[4:45] est sous la passerelle. Et donc

[4:48] c'est plus de l'entretien que,

[4:51] réparation on entretient. Ce

[4:53] n'est pas le dessus, la

[4:54] passerelle ne restera pas fermé.

[4:56] En tout cas, ce n'est pas ce

[4:57] que...

[4:58] - Donc elle n'est pas prête de

[4:59] tomber?

[5:00] - Non, je ne penserais pas. On

[5:01] ne souhaite pas. Sinon, ce

[5:02] serait plus que 800000 dollars.

[5:05] On serait plus dans les 20

[5:07] millions quelques.

[5:09] - Merci beaucoup. D'autres

[5:12] questions? Any other questions?

[5:22] >> Good evening. Dave world, 258

[5:26] fairway. My question is going to

[5:28] come back to the comment -- the

[5:30] commandant. Recently, we had an

[5:34] incident at metro grocery store

[5:36] here on St. Charles's. And I've

[5:39] never heard what sort of

[5:41] resolution came from this. I

[5:44] know that it was an incident

[5:46] where a lady was -- her pin and

[5:49] banking cards were accessed in

[5:53] the grocery store. I don't know

[5:55] if the individual was caught. I

[5:58] don't know what has come of

[6:00] that. The question has come up a

[6:02] lot from people that I deal with

[6:05] on a regular basis. And I said I

[6:09] would throw that out here this

[6:11] evening to try to get some sort

[6:12] of clarification as to whether

[6:14] or not that incident has been

[6:20] solved or rectified.

[6:21] >> I will pass on your question

[6:22] to the commanded -- the

[6:26] commandment and let him.

[6:28] >> Just to make sure, you are

[6:29] talking about fraud at the

[6:31] grocery store, that's it? Une

[6:33] personne âgée? Je n'ai pas

[6:35] d'information, évidemment, sur

[6:36] ce sujet-là bien précisément.

[6:39] Bien si j'en avais, je ne

[6:40] pourrai pas divulguer certaines

[6:42] informations. Par contre,

[6:43] j'invite toutes les personnes

[6:44] qui pensent être victimes de

[6:45] faute de se présenter au poste

[6:46] de quartier et d'immédiatement

[6:47] composé le 911 au moment où ils

[6:49] s'aperçoivent qu'ils ont été

[6:50] frauder. Pour les mesures de

[6:52] sécurité, et bien, c'est sûr

[6:53] qu'ils doivent garder leurs

[6:54] cartes dans leurs poches, faire

[6:56] attention lorsqu'on expose notre

[7:01] NIP quand on fait une

[7:02] transaction. Si au IGA il y a

[7:05] des caméras, c'est sûr qu'à ce

[7:06] moment, là nos agents peuvent se

[7:07] déplacer sur place. Mais c'est

[7:09] évident que si on n'est pas au

[7:10] courant de la situation, si la

[7:11] personne ne s'est pas présenté

[7:12] au poste de quartier,

[7:13] malheureusement, on ne peut pas

[7:14] faire grand-chose. Il n'est pas

[7:15] trop tard. Si elle souhaite se

[7:17] présenter, on va prendre son

[7:18] rapport et on peut lui référer

[7:19] certaines ressources.

[7:20] D'ailleurs, pour les personnes

[7:21] qui sont âgées et victimes de

[7:22] fraude, nous avons un programme.

[7:24] En fait, pas un programme, mais

[7:25] nous avons des agences

[7:27] socio-communautaires qui peuvent

[7:28] leur donner certains conseils.

[7:29] Afin de prévenir ce genre de

[7:30] fraude.

[7:33] >> This is actually something

[7:39] that -- it's a little bit more

[7:41] elevated because it's most

[7:44] probably an unconfirmed report

[7:47] that somebody within the store

[7:50] -- the criminals in this

[7:51] particular case. So, this kind

[7:54] of thing is

[7:57] [Inaudible]

[7:58] , Whether or not it is a game or

[7:59] somebody that is targeting

[8:02] Beaconsfield, our population of

[8:05] 30, 40, 50% elderly people. So

[8:10] that's constantly on my mind. --

[8:15] That is the feel -- that's what

[8:19] I wanted to know for today. I

[8:24] came here to understand it, to

[8:26] understand what -- we're getting

[8:29] to more seniors in our

[8:34] municipality.

[8:36] [Inaudible]

[8:37] I never heard a resolution

[8:41] happen. To speak before Council,

[8:44] anything. The incident --

[8:48] supposed to be present with the

[8:54] councillor Saint-Jean to show

[8:57] up. There was nothing --

[9:01] [Inaudible]

[9:02] . Solutions -- or a single

[9:10] entity.

[9:13] - Bien d'abord, merci pour ce

[9:15] témoignage-là et mettre au

[9:16] courant le service de police de

[9:17] la ville de Montréal. Je peux

[9:18] vous assurer que présentement,

[9:19] il n'y a pas de concentration à

[9:20] ce niveau-là de gangs organisées

[9:22] qui ferait des fraudes massives

[9:23] au niveau des personnes âgées.

[9:26] Toutefois, c'est une

[9:28] problématique concentrée partout

[9:29] au Québec, les fraudes au niveau

[9:31] des personnes âgées. Je vous

[9:33] demanderais si vous pouvez, si

[9:34] vous avez mon courriel? Je vous

[9:37] demanderais de m'envoyer toutes

[9:38] les informations que vous

[9:39] détenez afin que je puisse faire

[9:40] la lumière sur cet événement-là

[9:41] directement. Et puis je m'engage

[9:42] à vous transmettre les

[9:44] informations que je vais pouvoir

[9:45] vous transmettre. Également, je

[9:47] pourrais vous revenir au niveau

[9:48] du conseil le prochain conseil

[9:50] suivant.

[9:53] >> Thank you. You know, seniors

[9:56] are certainly very susceptible

[9:58] to fraud all the time. So, as a

[10:05] senior, myself, I can assure you

[10:08] that you have to be extremely

[10:10] careful. I must get two or three

[10:14] emails every day that are very

[10:19] questionable. And I simply

[10:21] delete them and block in the

[10:23] centre. -- Block the sender.

[10:28] - J'ai ici mon agente

[10:29] socio-communautaire qui est une

[10:30] spécialiste au niveau des

[10:31] fraudes. Elle s'exprime en

[10:32] anglais. Elle va pouvoir vous

[10:33] expliquer ce qu'on fait au

[10:34] niveau du poste de quartier 1

[10:36] avec les aînés.

[10:38] >> So, last, year in

[10:40] Beaconsfield, I did for

[10:42] presentation conferences on

[10:45] fraud and elderly people,

[10:47] concerning all the prevention

[10:48] tips on different fraud. It was

[10:52] a scam, the grandparents fraud,

[10:54] it was a false representative.

[10:58] For the prevention tips, the

[11:01] population is aware. But the

[11:03] case you are talking about, I

[11:05] think it is very specific. As --

[11:09] said, we will look into it. And

[11:10] if there is anything on the

[11:13] investigation side,

[11:14] investigators will continue. But

[11:15] on the prevention side for sure,

[11:17] I will do a follow-up with that

[11:19] person.

[11:21] >> Thank you. D'autres

[11:25] questions?

[11:26] >> Any other questions? If not,

[11:27] we will proceed with the agenda.

[11:37] >> Approval of the minutes of

[11:38] the City of Beaconsfield's

[11:39] special Council meeting of

[21:26] Minutes of the Planning Advisory

[21:27] Committee meeting of January 8,

[21:28] 2025.

[21:29] >> This is the --

[21:30] >> Did you propose?

[21:32] >> Yes, I proposed.

[21:34] >>. Yes.

[21:36] >> Proposed.

[21:37] >> Any comments?

[21:39] >> Not specifically to the

[21:40] projects we just want to, but I

[21:41] will just mention on this cold

[21:44] January night, it's in the depth

[21:46] of winter, but the spring will

[21:47] come eventually and it's a time

[21:49] where we usually see a lot of

[21:51] projects being submitted to the

[21:52] Planning Advisory Committee.

[21:54] It's a great opportunity over

[21:56] the next month or so to have

[21:57] projects to be submitted -- you

[22:00] are not sure if it's qualified

[22:02] or should go through the -- or

[22:05] the CCU, it's a good idea to

[22:07] have a look at the permit

[22:09] section of the website, consult

[22:10] with the urban planning

[22:11] department to establish that,

[22:12] number one. And have us review

[22:14] the projects -- to help and in

[22:17] many cases to help guide you

[22:19] through the process. It's a good

[22:22] resource, really, for anybody to

[22:23] use. If you are planning to do

[22:25] any major renovations, in

[22:27] addition, for, example things

[22:28] like that, and get a head start

[22:30] to try to work through the

[22:31] system in a timely fashion. Very

[22:33] often, these types of projects

[22:35] can take two, three, four months

[22:37] sometimes to get through the

[22:39] monthly meetings to anticipate

[22:40] that kind of delay generally

[22:43] speaking through the process.

[22:44] Good luck with your projects and

[22:46] that's the only comment for now.

[22:52] >> I second.

[22:53] >> In favour. - À l'unanimité.

[23:24] committee will meet to determine

[23:26] the main obstacles encountered

[23:28] by seniors. This will allow us

[23:29] to establish a list of

[23:31] priorities and actions to be

[23:32] implemented over the next four

[23:35] years. And trying to improve the

[23:37] quality of the life of seniors

[23:38] based on the needs expressed and

[23:40] the resources available. And

[23:43] apart from the action plan, we

[23:44] do have some fun events planned.

[23:47] The first event is the

[23:49] friendships social lunch. It

[23:50] will be held on Thursday,

[23:53] February 20th, from 12 to 4 at

[24:17] -- we do it together with the 55

[24:19] plus club will show the movie

[24:22] library. And apart from these

[24:24] three events, we do have a lot

[24:25] of upcoming lectures. And as our

[24:31] police person told us, we do do

[24:34] coffee with the police and

[24:37] information. We are very

[24:38] thankful for that. I know the

[24:39] turnout for that is usually

[24:40] quite large. And all the

[24:45] lectures, the upcoming lectures

[24:46] are on our website. So, if you

[24:48] are interested, please go on the

[24:49] website and register. Or you can

[26:04] >> Second. - En faveur.

[26:23] Mayor's report on the decisions

[26:24] made by the Agglomeration

[26:25] Council at its meeting of

[26:26] December 19, 2024.

[26:27] >> Yes. Since I was replaced and

[26:30] the agglomeration council by

[26:35] Councillor mercury, I will ask

[26:36] him to make comments on the

[26:39] agglomeration council meeting.

[26:41] >> It was a pleasure attending

[26:44] in your place, Mister Mayor. As

[26:48] expected, the agglomeration went

[26:52] like it always does. There's a

[26:53] lot of spending with little say

[26:57] by the --. One thing that stood

[27:01] out was a boring bylaw for --

[27:07] for the amount of $50 million

[27:10] without an explanation as to

[27:11] what the borrowing bylaw was

[27:15] four. We borrowed money here

[27:18] tonight in our -- but we

[27:20] obviously state what the amount

[27:21] is for. Yet, $50 million

[27:26] borrowing bylaw passed. Even if

[27:29] we objected, it makes no

[27:31] difference. And the question was

[27:33] asked, could you please explain

[27:34] what the money is for? Future

[27:37] expenses was the answer.

[27:40] Fantastic. Yeah. Thank you,

[27:43] Mister Mayor.

[27:44] >> With 87% of the vote from the

[27:47] City of Montréal, they can pass

[27:49] anything. It doesn't matter

[27:51] what.

[27:52] >> Indeed, the concept, though,

[27:53] Mister Mayor, of borrowing

[27:56] taxpayers money and not telling

[27:57] them what it's for -- I'm not

[28:02] sure I would raise my hand for

[28:03] that. I wouldn't raise my hand

[28:05] for that.

[28:06] >> Thank you.

[28:08] >> Thanks.

[28:10] >> I would like to make a

[28:11] comment, Mister Mayor. It's

[28:12] funny because when the Montréal

[28:15] council meets, if they vote to

[28:18] make a vote internally at their

[28:20] committee, at that, point if it

[28:21] goes to 51% in favour and 49%

[28:25] against, when it comes to the

[28:27] Agglo means you are talking

[28:28] about, Montréal comes in with an

[28:34] 87%.

[28:35] >> Not only that, Roger. The

[28:38] members of the opposition that

[28:41] may have voted no, at the City

[28:46] Council meeting, when they come

[28:47] to the agglomeration, they have

[28:49] to support it. So they have to

[28:51] vote yes at the agglomeration

[28:53] meeting. That's a joke. It's a

[28:56] joke. It's an absolute joke. The

[28:59] agglomeration is a joke.

[29:00] Absolute joke, you know?

[29:10] >> I have lived with this for

[29:12] many years. It's very

[29:16] frustrating to see how it does.

[29:20] And, you know, I mean, you know

[29:24] what happened with the

[29:27] fluoridation of water. You know,

[29:30] the process, we objected to the

[29:33] process of the decision. A lot

[29:36] of cities objected to the

[29:39] process of the decision. Even

[29:42] Hampstead had a resolution

[29:46] approving our the resolution.

[29:51] Yet, Madame Vodanovic got 87% of

[29:56] the vote. So we are at the wrong

[30:03] end. No more fluoridation of

[30:06] water as of -- and somebody said

[30:09] to me, is the equipment there?

[30:12] No, I'm sure the equipment was

[30:14] removed very quickly by

[30:16] Montréal. Okay, let's go to the

[30:23] director's report. - On a déposé

[30:29] quatre rapports. Celui de

[30:30] l'émission des permis, en

[30:32] décembre. Notre rapport du

[30:34] centre de répartition d'aider au

[30:36] en novembre. Les mouvements de

[30:38] personnel de l'année 2024 et les

[30:40] visionnement de conseil en 2024.

[30:45] >> Any new business? So, who

[30:50] proposes the

[30:54] >> I propose.

[30:55] >> I second.

[30:56] >> All in favour? That's it.

[30:59] It's over.

[31:00] >> Thank you, Mister Mayor.

[31:02] >> Thank you.
