floor thank you mayor just a quick

464
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,480
question had asked this earlier and I

465
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,520
just want to make sure it's 100% certain

466
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,960
that in our our professional opinions on

467
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,320
the development side

468
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,280
this land can't really be used for for

469
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,000
much else a couple options I proposed is

470
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,360
maybe a basketb for something along

471
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:38,159
those lines the response that was given

472
00:18:38,159 --> 00:18:39,640
previously was that we didn't feel it

473
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,080
was sufficient in terms of amounts of

474
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,360
land to to put something like that on

475
00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:46,520
there I just want to confirm that that's

476
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,440
still the case to the mayor thank you

477
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,880

if uh there's anything else to answer

480
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,520
but yes to confirm that this area is now

481
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,480
dedicated as a public road um it's not

482
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,840
uh in it's not a municipal Reserve or

483
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,440
environmental reserve it hasn't been

484
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,760
planned for any sort of

485
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,440
activation um it is uh as part of the

486
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,080
Russo uh outline plan uh planned for

487

overarching plans that have been

493
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,400

00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,760
um problematic in in especially the

497
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,360

infrastructure Communications legal and

641
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,320
protective services contribute to

enhancing this

643
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:31,350

you before delving into our strategy

650
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,080
I'll provide contact for why

651
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,200
Administration is updating Alberta

652
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:52,799
recently experienced an usually dry

653
00:26:52,799 --> 00:26:55,039
winter characterized by low snowfall and

654
00:26:55,039 --> 00:26:57,000
above average temperatures this has

655
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,000
contributed to the the dro conditions

656
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,039
across the province as

657
00:27:01,039 --> 00:27:03,520
depicted in the latest Dro conditions

658
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,559
map on the screen due to these

659
00:27:05,559 --> 00:27:07,240
conditions most Reservoir levels are

660
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,120
below normal for this time of year and

661
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:11,000
challenges are expected as we move into

662
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,360
the high demand water months adding to

663
00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:15,039
these Supply concerns the rapid

664
00:27:15,039 --> 00:27:16,840
expansion of both the city of bont and

665
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,919
Alberta as a whole is intensifying water

666
00:27:18,919 --> 00:27:21,120
demand and further

667
00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:23,520
straining these already stressed

668
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,480
conditions in response to these

669
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,279
conditions Alberta environment has Resto

670
00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:28,919
to municipalities them to review and

671
00:27:28,919 --> 00:27:30,320
enhance their water management

672
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,760
strategies this year Bowman encountered

673
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,919
two instances of water restrictions one

674
00:27:34,919 --> 00:27:36,600
due to unforeseen outage at the epcore

675
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,240
plant servicing in the Edmonton area and

676
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:39,720
another stemming from upgrades from the

677
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,440
Water Commission Phil Station in Bowmont

678
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:43,600
both these challenges have been

679
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:44,799
successfully addressed and the

680
00:27:44,799 --> 00:27:46,720
restrictions lifted the experien has

681
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,360
provided valuable insights into the

682
00:27:48,360 --> 00:27:49,880
effectiveness of our current strategy

683
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,399
and highlighted areas where enhancements

684
00:27:51,399 --> 00:27:54,389
could be

685
00:27:54,399 --> 00:27:56,600
made this brings us to our purpose of

686
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,519
the presentation tonight to Implement a

687
00:27:58,519 --> 00:28:00,279
proactive strategy which updates and

688
00:28:00,279 --> 00:28:02,840
refines water man water management

689
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,960
practices restrictions and the utility

690
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,240
bylaw for future resilience these

691
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,720
measures are crucial for the coming

692
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,039
season and moving forward to ensure the

693
00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:13,000
city has sufficient water levels for

694
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,159
essential uses such as fire protection

695
00:28:15,159 --> 00:28:17,240
and drinking

696
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,519
water the first area that was identified

697
00:28:19,519 --> 00:28:21,240
as requiring updates is our utility

698
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:22,720
bylaw which Administration is

699
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,600
recommending be renamed the water and

700
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,559
wastewater management bylaw this revised

701
00:28:27,559 --> 00:28:29,399
bylaw

702
00:28:29,399 --> 00:28:31,039
encompasses crucial elements such as

703
00:28:31,039 --> 00:28:32,480
outlining water restriction demand

704
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,399
measures based on the water commission's

705
00:28:34,399 --> 00:28:36,000
recommendations and in alignment with

706
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,120
other municipalities introducing

707
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,760
penalties and enforcement measures for

708
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,159
non-compliance and clearly defining user

709
00:28:42,159 --> 00:28:43,840
responsibilities regarding Water and

710
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,440
Wastewater management these this new

711
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,240
bylaw will be presented later tonight in

712
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,960
more detail however I will highlight the

713
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,159
demand measures with a focus on internal

714
00:28:52,159 --> 00:28:56,590
City operation

715
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,120
measures Administration recommendation

716
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:00,960
is to implement three demand measures or

717
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,200
restriction levels the demand measure a

718
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,640
labeled as a water conservation advisory

719
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:06,960
represents the lowest level of

720
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,399
restrictions demand measure B introduces

721
00:29:09,399 --> 00:29:11,399
a partial water band while the highest

722
00:29:11,399 --> 00:29:13,360
restriction level demand measure C

723
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,430
imposes a mandatory water

724
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,880
restriction demand measure a also known

725
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,720
as the water conservation advisory

726
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,440
primarily impacts internal City

727
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,720
operations this includes reducing spray

728
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,720
park hours and suspending non-essential

729
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,840
water use activities such as water and

730
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,880
sewer Flushing Park watering street

731
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,399
sweeping vehicle fleet vehicle washing

732
00:29:34,399 --> 00:29:36,399
and certain firefighting that utilizes

733
00:29:36,399 --> 00:29:39,039
water additionally water users are

734
00:29:39,039 --> 00:29:40,919
encouraged to limit outdoor watering to

735
00:29:40,919 --> 00:29:45,549
specific hours for optimal for reducing

736
00:29:45,559 --> 00:29:47,799
evaporation demand measure B also

737
00:29:47,799 --> 00:29:49,559
referred to as a partial water band has

738
00:29:49,559 --> 00:29:51,399
implications for both City operations

739
00:29:51,399 --> 00:29:54,240
and water users City operations will

740
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,640
discontinue non-essential water

741
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,440
activities such as the spray park

742
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,440
hydrant meter usage private development

743
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,080
and infrastructure commissioning private

744
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,919
development flushing Water Quality

745
00:30:02,919 --> 00:30:05,159
Investigations and all demand a

746
00:30:05,159 --> 00:30:07,440
suspensions for water users outdoor

747
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,760
watering is limited to house number with

748
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,880
specific hours with a maximum of two

749
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,000
hours allowed per day hand watering a

750
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,440
flower beds vegetable gardens and

751
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:16,960
similar activity would be permissible at

752
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,240
any time using a watering can or a hose

753
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:21,640
with a nozzle equipped with a shot off

754
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,750
to restrict water

755
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,600
flow demand measure C also known as the

756
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,559
water or sorry as the mandatory water

757
00:30:29,559 --> 00:30:30,880
restrictions represents the most

758
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,240
stringent level of of restrictions

759
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,360
reserved for extreme circumstances these

760
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:37,880
under these measures City operations

761
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,039
will suspend water use for the bsrc

762
00:30:40,039 --> 00:30:42,440
pools hot tub all water features and

763
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,240
fountains along with implementing all

764
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,760
demand A and B measures water users will

765
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,679
be limited to essential use only

766
00:30:48,679 --> 00:30:51,159
prohibiting all outdoor water activities

767
00:30:51,159 --> 00:30:52,760
additionally water use will be

768
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,440
restricted for all high demand water

769
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,600
users further details on these

770
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,679
restrictions will be provided on the B

771
00:30:58,679 --> 00:31:02,549
report later

772
00:31:02,559 --> 00:31:04,440
tonight there are various demand

773
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,880
triggers for water demand measures or

774
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,519
restrictions the city will Implement

775
00:31:08,519 --> 00:31:10,039
which are noted on the

776
00:31:10,039 --> 00:31:12,519
screen the utility team is working on

777
00:31:12,519 --> 00:31:14,519
implementing Advanced forecasting within

778
00:31:14,519 --> 00:31:16,679
our water water system software to

779
00:31:16,679 --> 00:31:18,960
assist in predicting Reservoir levels

780
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,799
contributing to these triggers it is

781
00:31:20,799 --> 00:31:22,240
also important to note that each

782
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,039
community in the province is unique and

783
00:31:24,039 --> 00:31:25,559
will have different triggers that affect

784
00:31:25,559 --> 00:31:27,519
their restrictions this means that the

785
00:31:27,519 --> 00:31:29,279
city of bont May Implement measures

786
00:31:29,279 --> 00:31:31,200
before the Water Commission or other

787
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,519
municipalities or measures may be at a

788
00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:35,440
different level these measures will be

789
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,279
placed into effect due to our own un

790
00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:39,080
unique circumstances considering all

791
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,679
these triggers with the intent on

792
00:31:40,679 --> 00:31:43,679
preventing further or stronger

793
00:31:43,679 --> 00:31:46,639
measures communication is a significant

794
00:31:46,639 --> 00:31:48,159
significant part of our strategy and

795
00:31:48,159 --> 00:31:52,669
Tanisha will further elaborate on this

796
00:31:52,679 --> 00:31:55,720
aspect thank you Ryan when considering

797
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,360
the role that water users play in our

798
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,240
strategy it is crucial to acknowledge

799
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,840
that we are dealing with people now we

800
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,279
recognize that there are several types

801
00:32:03,279 --> 00:32:05,039
of water users but regardless of their

802
00:32:05,039 --> 00:32:06,559
form we are looking to take them from

803
00:32:06,559 --> 00:32:09,080
their current state to a new one getting

804
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:10,679
them to demonstrate modified and

805
00:32:10,679 --> 00:32:13,159
potentially new behaviors so what we are

806
00:32:13,159 --> 00:32:15,639
talking about is change management

807
00:32:15,639 --> 00:32:17,799
changing human behavior requires a Clear

808
00:32:17,799 --> 00:32:20,320
Vision of how we want users to think to

809
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,320
feel and to act to guide our approach to

810
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,080
this change we've established three key

811
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,159
pillars they are transparency

812
00:32:27,159 --> 00:32:30,080
empowerment and compliance now I want to

813
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,200
walk you through what each of these

814
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,480
looks like transparency means that users

815
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,080
understand the water demand measures

816
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,279
they receive strategic updates on Water

817
00:32:38,279 --> 00:32:40,600
Management efforts and they know what to

818
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,399
expect depending on the situation or

819
00:32:42,399 --> 00:32:45,200
environment empowerment is simple it

820
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,360
means that users feel part of the

821
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,519
solution whether it's through practical

822
00:32:49,519 --> 00:32:51,240
water saving strategies or water

823
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,039
conservation tips they are motivated to

824
00:32:54,039 --> 00:32:57,240
conserve water and finally compliance is

825
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,000
a direct reflection of how we want users

826
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,440
to act to encourage change behaviors

827
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,200
with the goal of water conservation this

828
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,159
means we must establish clear guidelines

829
00:33:06,159 --> 00:33:09,399
and uh expectations recognize and reward

830
00:33:09,399 --> 00:33:11,639
compliance all while continuously

831
00:33:11,639 --> 00:33:13,440
monitoring our reporting mechanisms for

832
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,320
feedback and opportunities to optimize

833
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:17,840
now that we've established the changes

834
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,399
that we will encourage and Inspire in

835
00:33:19,399 --> 00:33:21,120
our water users I will walk you through

836
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,240
some of the risks we've identified and

837
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,000
how they present as opportunities for

838
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,760
our water management

839
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,960
strategy now as I walk you through these

840
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,679
risks you'll start to notice potentially

841
00:33:30,679 --> 00:33:33,720
the strategy taking shape uh the first

842
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,360
risk that we've identified is

843
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,320
misinformation now whether it's false

844
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,120
claims or inaccurate information

845
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,240
misinformation can lead to a lack of

846
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,600
compliance given the unique nuances of

847
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,480
each municipality's Water Management

848
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,159
strategy as Ryan uh outlined we must

849
00:33:48,159 --> 00:33:50,279
speak with a unified voice directing

850
00:33:50,279 --> 00:33:52,000
users to a centralized source for

851
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,840
accurate and practical information now

852
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,360
this involves leveraging educational and

853
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,200
um awareness campaigns local media and

854
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:01,720
our esteemed Council serving as

855
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,110
Community

856
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,200
ambassadors the second area we've

857
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,000
identified is non-compliance now often

858
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,159
we think about users being non-compliant

859
00:34:12,159 --> 00:34:13,599
it's because they either perceive these

860
00:34:13,599 --> 00:34:15,720
changes is inconvenient or perhaps they

861
00:34:15,720 --> 00:34:17,960
disagree with the measures as a whole

862
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,760
however non-compliance can also be a

863
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,960
lack of awareness or maybe a misunder

864
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,000
understanding of the restrictions to

865
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,839
encourage compliance we need to focus on

866
00:34:25,839 --> 00:34:28,480
targeted educational campaigns regularly

867
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,320
check how they're performing and adjust

868
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,159
when necessary also being open about the

869
00:34:33,159 --> 00:34:35,240
rules and how we enforce them helps

870
00:34:35,240 --> 00:34:37,280
create a culture where users understand

871
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,919
and follow the

872
00:34:39,919 --> 00:34:41,960
guidelines the third risk that we've

873
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,000
identified is communication overload now

874
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,919
when it comes to communication overload

875
00:34:45,919 --> 00:34:47,280
it could be because of the amount of

876
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,079
information could also be due to the

877
00:34:49,079 --> 00:34:51,079
complexity of the information and this

878
00:34:51,079 --> 00:34:53,280
can leave users feeling apathetic

879
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,240
anxious you know rather than the desired

880
00:34:55,240 --> 00:34:57,200
state of feeling empowered with this

881
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:58,480
information

882
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,119
navigating the risk of communication

883
00:35:00,119 --> 00:35:02,320
overload demands clear streamlined

884
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,040
messaging through easily accessible

885
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,560
channels and here uh council members

886
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,400
play a pivotal role in directing users

887
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,750
to a single information

888
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,200
Hub now the final risk that we've

889
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,320
identified is related to maintaining

890
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,400
Comm during periods with several

891
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,480
restrictions for prolonged periods it is

892
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,960
crucial to maintain Cal admidst the

893
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,079
scarcity of a vital resource like water

894
00:35:25,079 --> 00:35:27,760
users can exhibit resource hoarding

895
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,640
competition non-compliance and

896
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,119
potentially confrontational behaviors

897
00:35:32,119 --> 00:35:34,760
proactive transparent messaging empowers

898
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,640
users with knowledge curbing behaviors

899
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,760
like hoarding and fostering positive

900
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,400
conservation practices recognizing and

901
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,359
reinforcing these behaviors further

902
00:35:43,359 --> 00:35:48,190
encourages that

903
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,480
compliance so by being proactive and

904
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,079
transparent with our messaging in uh you

905
00:35:53,079 --> 00:35:54,560
know giving them the knowledge and

906
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,560
curbing those behaviors it's essential

907
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,920
to uh EMP power those residents with

908
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,680
correct practical and strategic

909
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,040
information that we can encourage conver

910
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,040
conversation efforts I'm going to pass

911
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,359
the floor along to Michelle who will

912
00:36:06,359 --> 00:36:11,069
further dive into our

913
00:36:11,079 --> 00:36:13,200
strategy thank you

914
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,960
Tanisha so our communication strategy

915
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,400
involves a multifaceted approach that

916
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,119
launched yesterday on April 22nd and

917
00:36:21,119 --> 00:36:23,520
will span the spring and summer

918
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,160
throughout these months as Tanisha

919
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,040
mentioned we will leverage our guiding

920
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,599
principles of transparency empowerment

921
00:36:29,599 --> 00:36:32,000
and compliance to educate residents on

922
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,920
the reality of drought conditions and

923
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,880
Empower them to do what they can and

924
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:37,920
play their part in water conservation

925
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,640
efforts our strategy emphasizes a

926
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,560
collaborative approach involving all

927
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,520
local stakeholders and highlights the

928
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,560
importance of residents businesses and

929
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,040
the city working together as a team to

930
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,560
achieve water conservation it's also

931
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,640
important to note that this strategy is

932
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,000
dynamic and will go through adaptations

933
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,400
and refin ments as we receive feedback

934
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,240
and data throughout the coming

935
00:37:02,240 --> 00:37:05,359
months so there are three key phases in

936
00:37:05,359 --> 00:37:07,800
our strategy here the first being

937
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,440
education and awareness the second being

938
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,319
the ban phase and lastly the recovery

939
00:37:13,319 --> 00:37:16,240
phase in the education and awareness

940
00:37:16,240 --> 00:37:18,680
phase our focus is on transparently

941
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,440
communicating and educating our

942
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,560
residents about the reality of drought

943
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,920
conditions in Alberta we're also focused

944
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,119
on offering practical water conservation

945
00:37:27,119 --> 00:37:29,400
tips for them to incorporate into their

946
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,640
daily routines that Empower them to take

947
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,680
ownership of water saving efforts in

948
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:34,680
their

949
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,480
homes in the band phase our priority is

950
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,680
to clearly communicate specific

951
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,119
restrictions on water usage provide

952
00:37:42,119 --> 00:37:44,560
regular updates on the progress of bands

953
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,440
in any changes that occur and reinforce

954
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,319
the importance of compliance in

955
00:37:49,319 --> 00:37:52,480
preserving bont's water supply lastly in

956
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,760
the recovery phase we are mainly focused

957
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,800
on communicating the lifting of water

958
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:57,960
restrictions

959
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,760
but we are also acknowledging residents

960
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,720
compliance and efforts during the ban

961
00:38:01,720 --> 00:38:03,640
phase and highlighting the collective

962
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,200
impact that we made as a community this

963
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,160
is an often overlooked but crucial

964
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,680
component for Community morale because

965
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,400
it Fosters a sense of unity pride and

966
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,560
appreciation among residents for their

967
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,800
contributions and encourages continued

968
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,400
support and participation in future

969
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:24,550
conservation

970
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,160
efforts as mentioned in the education

971
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,280
and awareness phase we are focused on

972
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,319
providing residents with the Practical

973
00:38:31,319 --> 00:38:34,040
water saving strategies for their homes

974
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,480
we've categorized these tips into indoor

975
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,839
and outdoor sections and further divided

976
00:38:38,839 --> 00:38:40,640
them by beginner intermediate and

977
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,200
advanced levels this approach allows

978
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,000
residents to begin their water

979
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,680
conservation Journey at a level that

980
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,680
feels right for them or fits their

981
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,520
current situation and also prevents

982
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,960
overwhelming them with just a long list

983
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:53,800
of

984
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,240
suggestions now we are aware that some

985
00:38:56,240 --> 00:38:58,319
of our Advanced tips are not immediately

986
00:38:58,319 --> 00:39:00,040
actionable and our goal with these

987
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,040
Advanced tips is to plant a seed in

988
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,640
their minds and prompt them to consider

989
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,839
these long-term conservation strategies

990
00:39:07,839 --> 00:39:10,720
for the future for example uh while

991
00:39:10,720 --> 00:39:12,319
someone may not immediately think about

992
00:39:12,319 --> 00:39:14,560
upgrading to water efficient appliances

993
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:15,920
it is now something that's on their

994
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,960
radar and they may consider this the

995
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,640
next time they purchase a new home so on

996
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,440
the screen here we've included a few

997
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,839
examples of beginner intermediate and

998
00:39:24,839 --> 00:39:27,119
advanced tips beginner tips including

999
00:39:27,119 --> 00:39:28,960
fix leaks around the house turning off

1000
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,560
your Taps intermediate tips being

1001
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,599
utilizing rain barrels and installing

1002
00:39:33,599 --> 00:39:35,280
water saving devices in your home such

1003
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,119
as faucet air Raiders and lowf flow

1004
00:39:37,119 --> 00:39:39,920
showerheads and advanced tips are things

1005
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,040
such as um water efficient appliances

1006
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:44,920
and implementing graywater recycling

1007
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,079
into your

1008
00:39:47,079 --> 00:39:50,200
home in terms of tactics to connect

1009
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,160
residents to this information as Tanisha

1010
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,040
mentioned earlier we have created a

1011
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:56,920
centralized information Hub on our

1012
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,040
website where residents can access

1013
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:00,920
information about drought conditions

1014
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,119
water saving tips links to external

1015
00:40:03,119 --> 00:40:05,000
resources and eventually Water band

1016
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,240
updates if need be so essentially this

1017
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:09,359
is a One-Stop shop where they can find

1018
00:40:09,359 --> 00:40:12,160
all the information they need as we move

1019
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:13,960
through the phases of this strategy will

1020
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:15,880
employ a range of tactics to connect

1021
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,960
residents to the centralized information

1022
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,640
Hub these tactics include digital media

1023
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,119
and print materials and will

1024
00:40:22,119 --> 00:40:24,839
continuously be evaluated and refined as

1025
00:40:24,839 --> 00:40:26,520
we move through the strategy and receive

1026
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,680
feedback and data data we will also rely

1027
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,280
on leveraging our community ambassadors

1028
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,000
which would include yourselves Council

1029
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,079
to maximize Community involvement and

1030
00:40:37,079 --> 00:40:39,640
buyin so throughout the coming months we

1031
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,480
encourage you to share water

1032
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,200
conservation content on your platforms

1033
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,640
reinforce the importance of being water

1034
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,640
wise in conversations with residents and

1035
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,160
lead by example to inspire Community

1036
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:58,270
participation

1037
00:40:58,280 --> 00:40:59,680
thank you for your time tonight that

1038
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,200
concludes our presentation and we're

1039
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,240
happy to answer any questions thank you

1040
00:41:03,240 --> 00:41:05,359
very much very informative any questions

1041
00:41:05,359 --> 00:41:06,640
from members of council for

1042
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,560
administration's presentation on the

1043
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,040
Water Management strategy councilman

1044
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,319
newerk you have the

1045
00:41:14,319 --> 00:41:16,440
floor yeah thank you and thank you for

1046
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,640
the presentation

1047
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,680
um I think an important piece of this as

1048
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,560
you move forward is to acknowledge early

1049
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,000
on in the presentation that we're a

1050
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,800
member of the capital region us Water

1051
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,720
Services Commission I think that was

1052
00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:32,000
probably a piece of information that

1053
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,480
should come forward at the beginning of

1054
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,079
the presentation um later on in the

1055
00:41:36,079 --> 00:41:38,119
demand measure triggers we do make

1056
00:41:38,119 --> 00:41:40,480
mention of that but uh you know the root

1057
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,319
of a whole bunch of the information used

1058
00:41:42,319 --> 00:41:44,240
to make this presentation actually comes

1059
00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:48,000
from the um technical document entitled

1060
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,720
water demand measures from from there so

1061
00:41:50,720 --> 00:41:52,560
I think it would serve well uh for the

1062
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,280
community just for some clarity around

1063
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,680
where this comes from so you know we're

1064
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,040
a member of the commission we sign on to

1065
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,119
the commission and the commission has

1066
00:42:02,119 --> 00:42:04,200
the water demand strategies that are

1067
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,480
developed and reviewed to the policies

1068
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,800
reviewed the technical document guides

1069
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,440
water demand levels and you know that

1070
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,760
that's where it's coming from um in the

1071
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,560
past when we've had to put these water

1072
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,560
demand levels in um it's been an

1073
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,520
opportunity for education I guess for

1074
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,440
the public to allow them to understand

1075
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:25,839
or help them understand that we're a

1076
00:42:25,839 --> 00:42:27,680
member of that commission so

1077
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,240
I you know I I would tighten that up a

1078
00:42:29,240 --> 00:42:32,920
bit uh just to make it more clear around

1079
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:34,680
us being a member what the water demand

1080
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,800
measures mean um I think you guys did a

1081
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,119
really good job of um personalizing it

1082
00:42:40,119 --> 00:42:41,800
to Bowmont right because the water

1083
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,839
demand measures are a little bit more

1084
00:42:43,839 --> 00:42:45,680
generic in the document and then what

1085
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,839
you're able to do well in here um you

1086
00:42:47,839 --> 00:42:49,920
know throughout the examples where there

1087
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,079
was City operations and and water uses

1088
00:42:52,079 --> 00:42:53,800
really personalize it so I think you

1089
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,920
guys really hit the mark on that um so

1090
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,119
um this conversation today is an easy

1091
00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:02,280
one I think in the coming days it's

1092
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,119
going to become more trying in all

1093
00:43:04,119 --> 00:43:06,440
municipalities so um thank you for

1094
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,079
coming early with this conversation and

1095
00:43:09,079 --> 00:43:11,280
uh I appreciate your

1096
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,319
effort thank you counselor I appreciate

1097
00:43:13,319 --> 00:43:14,480
that I'll Echo some of councilman

1098
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,359
nuker's comments um it's hard to educate

1099
00:43:17,359 --> 00:43:18,880
the public we all very much aware of

1100
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,319
that and we take our lead off the Water

1101
00:43:21,319 --> 00:43:22,440
Commission the water commission's

1102
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:23,480
responsibility is make sure there's

1103
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,240
water for all the members on an equal

1104
00:43:25,240 --> 00:43:27,440
level basis you can't have water Bowman

1105
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,440
and not in Devon or luk it's got to be

1106
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,319
the same for everybody and the priority

1107
00:43:31,319 --> 00:43:33,359
for us is to have water for fire

1108
00:43:33,359 --> 00:43:35,160
protection and personal hygiene and

1109
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,359
cooking uh Lawns are kind of second

1110
00:43:37,359 --> 00:43:39,640
fiddle compared to the first two items

1111
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,319
of course even the water park despite

1112
00:43:41,319 --> 00:43:42,680
the weather sometimes is not a high

1113
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:44,559
priority and it was difficult to educate

1114
00:43:44,559 --> 00:43:46,280
the public and I applaud the efforts

1115
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:47,319
we're trying to be a little more

1116
00:43:47,319 --> 00:43:49,960
proactive given the anticipated drought

1117
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,040
this season is going to have for us and

1118
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,400
I Echo councilman comments that help

1119
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,200
education the public that in the water

1120
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:58,960
commission sets the rules and we follow

1121
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:00,480
them what we're trying to do is give it

1122
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,480
a good education to our to our residents

1123
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:03,800
and the less water they use the more

1124
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,680
money they save too which is not a bad

1125
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,640
thing all things being equal but coun

1126
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:09,960
could read my mind on that comment I do

1127
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:11,800
appreciate that so councelor barnhard I

1128
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,880
have you next on speaking thank you

1129
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,839
mayor not exactly sure what's going on

1130
00:44:15,839 --> 00:44:17,200
with the mics but they don't go green

1131
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,040
they go right to Red yeah it's weird

1132
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:20,040
once we're done this we'll we'll have a

1133
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:21,200
look at that in a second let's just

1134
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,240
continue but some I saw nothing on my

1135
00:44:24,240 --> 00:44:26,000
screen but please continue we'll we'll

1136
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:27,520
look at it in the next break here thank

1137
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,040
thank you man' thank you um comments

1138
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:31,400
aside about the commission I totally

1139
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,880
agree that that that is uh our our

1140
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:35,400
source of water and how we work

1141
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:36,839
collaboratively in the region to make

1142
00:44:36,839 --> 00:44:39,640
sure that we have sufficient water uh

1143
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,680
but I want to applaud the proactive

1144
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,240
nature of this strategy uh I think it's

1145
00:44:44,240 --> 00:44:46,559
uh it's coming at it it's coming at the

1146
00:44:46,559 --> 00:44:48,680
issues very much from an education

1147
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:50,559
perspective and I really think that's

1148
00:44:50,559 --> 00:44:53,960
important I like the transparency of it

1149
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,559
um some of the the goals I had in mind

1150
00:44:56,559 --> 00:44:58,200
when I was reading it is it's forward

1151
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,280
thinking it's looking ahead it's

1152
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,040
environmentally conscious it's it's

1153
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:03,760
raising the bar as far as what we expect

1154
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,920
our residents to do so I so I really am

1155
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:08,839
um thankful to see it here I think you

1156
00:45:08,839 --> 00:45:12,079
did a great job on that my question is

1157
00:45:12,079 --> 00:45:16,920
about um kind of the big big picture if

1158
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:18,960
we get to a point and I I'm sure that

1159
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:20,280
the commission would be part of this as

1160
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,000
well but if we get to a point where we

1161
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,960
are in uh danger of not having

1162
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,079
sufficient water for the necessities

1163
00:45:27,079 --> 00:45:29,000
that we need here in

1164
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,800
Bowmont whose responsibility is that

1165
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,480
does that go beyond the city to the

1166
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,520
commission to the province just speak a

1167
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:40,760
bit to that what what would be the um

1168
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,559
the next step in terms of dealing with

1169
00:45:42,559 --> 00:45:46,040
an emergency if it was to

1170
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,359
happen don't want to be a negative Nelly

1171
00:45:48,359 --> 00:45:50,680
but you know that could happen uh

1172
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,800
through the mayor to councelor barnhard

1173
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,359
um it would be up to the the city's

1174
00:45:54,359 --> 00:45:57,119
responsibility to find I guess alternate

1175
00:45:57,119 --> 00:45:59,079
resources to provide the water it

1176
00:45:59,079 --> 00:46:00,480
wouldn't be up to the Water Commission

1177
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,079
it' be up to the to the city to find

1178
00:46:02,079 --> 00:46:04,280
that so the the city and the Water

1179
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,640
Commission together would be responsible

1180
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,240
for that it's not the provinces we would

1181
00:46:09,240 --> 00:46:11,000
be the first line of defense on that

1182
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:15,559
right okay um and I think the other

1183
00:46:15,559 --> 00:46:18,880
question that I had um mayor um if I may

1184
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,200
just just run further you referenced a

1185
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,240
couple of times in your comments that

1186
00:46:23,240 --> 00:46:25,640
later tonight we would be dealing with

1187
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,960
the the fees the the penalties actually

1188
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,119
we've already approved them I think if

1189
00:46:31,119 --> 00:46:33,160
I'm not mistaken as part of the bylaw

1190
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,359
that was in the consent agenda am I

1191
00:46:35,359 --> 00:46:37,480
correct on that okay I wonder if you

1192
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,960
could just speak to um how that would be

1193
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,079
implemented how how are we enforcing

1194
00:46:43,079 --> 00:46:46,599
those uh compliance issues through the

1195
00:46:46,599 --> 00:46:48,599
mayor to councelor barnhard uh the

1196
00:46:48,599 --> 00:46:50,559
presentation later tonight's the utility

1197
00:46:50,559 --> 00:46:53,040
baaw um update and so it'll be going

1198
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:54,720
through the bylaw that references these

1199
00:46:54,720 --> 00:46:56,599
demand measures and the penalties and

1200
00:46:56,599 --> 00:46:58,160
stuff will be in place for them I I'm

1201
00:46:58,160 --> 00:46:59,319
wondering if we've dealt with that

1202
00:46:59,319 --> 00:47:00,480
already that's was my question Madam

1203
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,760
clerk sure I can provide a little

1204
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,760
Clarity um we when we originally

1205
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:07,599
prepared the report we anticipated

1206
00:47:07,599 --> 00:47:10,880
having the bylaw as part of the present

1207
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,079
uh presented items but we did put it on

1208
00:47:13,079 --> 00:47:15,359
consent so yes the bylaw was approved by

1209
00:47:15,359 --> 00:47:17,400
consent so if I can answer councelor

1210
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,400
barnhart's question through the mayor um

1211
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,720
this would be dealt with the way any of

1212
00:47:22,720 --> 00:47:24,599
our bylaws like Community standards

1213
00:47:24,599 --> 00:47:27,200
bylaws would be dealt with so to ially

1214
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,040
you would have someone make a complaint

1215
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,200
that someone was in violation of the

1216
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,800
bylaw and enforcement would usually take

1217
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,040
um An Education First approach and then

1218
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:39,920
if they could not resolve the matter

1219
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,160
then then they would just proceed with a

1220
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:43,880
ticket just as you would under the

1221
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,520
Community standards bylaw okay thank you

1222
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,480
mam clerin and if uh members of the

1223
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:49,800
public wanted to see what those

1224
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:51,599
penalties were that that bylaw is

1225
00:47:51,599 --> 00:47:53,920
available for them to see that online uh

1226
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,040
it's in the agenda package and it will

1227
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:57,920

directly but it will be on the public

1231
00:48:03,559 --> 00:48:05,920

1232
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,200

this thank you councel I'll go to

1236
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:13,920
councelor Penrod followed by councilman

1237
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,280
Yer for a follow-up question councelor

1238
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,880
Penrod thank you mayor uh just a

1239
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,520
procedural double check and maybe that I

1240
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:26,040
just missed this but in my agenda I have

1241
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:30,160
uh 8.2 bylaw 10

1242
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:34,839
52-24 uh Mark flagged as potentially

1243
00:48:34,839 --> 00:48:37,359
being on the cons consent agenda but in

1244
00:48:37,359 --> 00:48:40,400
my notes the consent agenda that we

1245
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,280
actually approved does not include 8.2

1246
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:51,990
did I miss that Madam

1247
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,079
clerk thank you very much councelor

1248
00:48:54,079 --> 00:48:56,359
Penrod you are correct so we will have

1249
00:48:56,359 --> 00:48:58,359
to deal with those readings once we get

1250
00:48:58,359 --> 00:49:00,599
to that bylaw sorry that that was an

1251
00:49:00,599 --> 00:49:03,000
oversight on our part it was not in fact

1252
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,040
on the consent agenda so we will make

1253
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:06,599
sure that we deal with that once we get

1254
00:49:06,599 --> 00:49:09,440
to that bylaw and just to note the same

1255
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,960
is true for 83 yes I see that okay so

1256
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:14,760
we'll have a we'll have lots of fun with

1257
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,319
motions when we get there thank you

1258
00:49:16,319 --> 00:49:17,880

1259
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,599
you Al righty then thank you councelor

1260
00:49:20,599 --> 00:49:22,760
Penrod councelor by nuc followed by

1261
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:24,760
councelor n

1262
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,839
Telus yeah you bet uh so in February I

1263
00:49:27,839 --> 00:49:29,880
did a little bit of foreshadowing and I

1264
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:31,319
asked some questions about how much

1265
00:49:31,319 --> 00:49:33,720
water our spray park uses so I'm going

1266
00:49:33,720 --> 00:49:35,960
to regil with some numbers right now

1267
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,440
because this is exactly why um I asked

1268
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,520
the questions around that so we talked

1269
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:42,319
about water demand a and water demand B

1270
00:49:42,319 --> 00:49:44,319
and C and you know when the spray park

1271
00:49:44,319 --> 00:49:47,839
turns off and why and uh basically in

1272
00:49:47,839 --> 00:49:51,040
2023 uh with the water the spray park at

1273
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,599
eight hours a day the water usage was

1274
00:49:53,599 --> 00:49:57,920
estimated at 4.4 million liters a month

1275
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:02,240
149,000 lers per day which translates to

1276
00:50:02,240 --> 00:50:07,280
18,6 125 L per hour of water big big

1277
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,359
water usage out of our out of the spray

1278
00:50:09,359 --> 00:50:12,240
park and over a 3mon period that results

1279
00:50:12,240 --> 00:50:15,359
in 13.4 million lers of water being used

1280
00:50:15,359 --> 00:50:17,200
in the spray park and it's onetime use

1281
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:20,319
water in our spray park um so you know

1282
00:50:20,319 --> 00:50:22,240
there's a lot lot of numbers there um

1283
00:50:22,240 --> 00:50:24,319
that was included as a counselor inquiry

1284
00:50:24,319 --> 00:50:26,520
back in February so it is you know that

1285
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,880
they answer to that is uh obviously

1286
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,160
public information and that's why I

1287
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,960
brought it Forward here and then in 2022

1288
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,680
on a on a 12-hour day operating all

1289
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:37,799
those numbers are bigger quite bigger

1290
00:50:37,799 --> 00:50:40,599
right so it's very very important for

1291
00:50:40,599 --> 00:50:42,359
residents to understand because I know

1292
00:50:42,359 --> 00:50:44,839
one of the first friction points is the

1293
00:50:44,839 --> 00:50:47,200
spray park being turned off in water

1294
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:50,040
demand situations but I just really

1295
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:51,839
really want everyone to understand the

1296
00:50:51,839 --> 00:50:54,440
amount of water treated water that is

1297
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,640
used in that apparatus we love it

1298
00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,760
there's good usage of it but it's turned

1299
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,240
off in these water demand uh situations

1300
00:51:02,240 --> 00:51:04,400
for for good reason and there's millions

1301
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,359
of reasons right there as millions of

1302
00:51:06,359 --> 00:51:09,040
liters of water are used there so anyhow

1303
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:10,599
uh this was the opportune time to bring

1304
00:51:10,599 --> 00:51:12,280
that forward and remind everyone of that

1305
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,640
usage so thank you mayor no that was a

1306
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,000
great inquiry I was expecting those

1307
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,040
numbers but they're actually higher than

1308
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:19,000
I thought they were going to be so

1309
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:20,400
that's a very good information to have I

1310
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,280
appreciate that Council tbus followed by

1311
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,520
councelor

1312
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,119
mcook thank you mayor thank you for the

1313
00:51:27,119 --> 00:51:29,280
presentation I I think anyone would be

1314
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,720
naive to uh to assume that there there

1315
00:51:31,720 --> 00:51:33,359
isn't a shortage of water especially

1316
00:51:33,359 --> 00:51:35,000
when we hit some of those hot months and

1317
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:36,799
and the drought concerns that do exist

1318
00:51:36,799 --> 00:51:38,680
within Alberta and all across all across

1319
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,799
the world

1320
00:51:40,799 --> 00:51:44,359
realistically sorry no worries um so

1321
00:51:44,359 --> 00:51:45,799
yeah so it's important that we come up

1322
00:51:45,799 --> 00:51:48,520
with an approach um I I do just have a

1323
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:49,720
couple concerns in terms of

1324
00:51:49,720 --> 00:51:51,280
communication I I know we're going to

1325
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:53,359
get into the bylaw here but uh within

1326
00:51:53,359 --> 00:51:55,520
the bylaw it says City will do its best

1327
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,119
to give 24 hour or notice um that

1328
00:51:58,119 --> 00:52:00,720
doesn't give people a lot of time to

1329
00:52:00,720 --> 00:52:03,359
receive the message um so I did

1330
00:52:03,359 --> 00:52:05,760
appreciate uh the comment that was made

1331
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:07,280
that in terms of enforcement we'll

1332
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,839
always go the education route first um

1333
00:52:09,839 --> 00:52:11,720
and I hope that is the approach we take

1334
00:52:11,720 --> 00:52:13,160
because uh we're looking at fines of

1335
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,280
$500 here which is pretty significant so

1336
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:17,520
um my only concern would be the

1337
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,480
communication side 24 hours isn't much

1338
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,280
um yeah to be able to deal with that and

1339
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:24,799
then I guess second to that you guys had

1340
00:52:24,799 --> 00:52:28,240
mentioned uh reward compliance so what's

1341
00:52:28,240 --> 00:52:29,839
kind of that approach what what kind of

1342
00:52:29,839 --> 00:52:31,400
reward system are we looking at for

1343
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:32,920
those that are

1344
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,000
complying uh through the mayor to

1345
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,160
counselor and nellan boss uh when we

1346
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:38,799
speak about rewarding it's a lot of

1347
00:52:38,799 --> 00:52:40,839
intrinsic value for residents to feel

1348
00:52:40,839 --> 00:52:43,880
like they are part of a larger purpose

1349
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:46,000
um so when we look at motivating it's a

1350
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,280
lot of intrinsic motivation to say when

1351
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:49,599
you look at your neighbors and you look

1352
00:52:49,599 --> 00:52:51,040
at your community and you look at the

1353
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,200
larger region that we're part of we're

1354
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,240
all here working towards that same goal

1355
00:52:55,240 --> 00:52:56,960
which is that constant reminder of

1356
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,520
having potable water for drinking and

1357
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,670
resources for

1358
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,040
firefighting perfect thank you uh just

1359
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:06,760
one last comment and and and this will

1360
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:08,720
probably be a followup uh motion that I

1361
00:53:08,720 --> 00:53:10,319
put down the line here but I've been to

1362
00:53:10,319 --> 00:53:12,720
the spray park for example which I do uh

1363
00:53:12,720 --> 00:53:14,520
feel consumes a lot of water but it's an

1364
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:15,880
essential part for the kids to go out

1365
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:17,240
and have fun but I've also been there

1366
00:53:17,240 --> 00:53:19,240
where it's completely empty and water

1367
00:53:19,240 --> 00:53:21,119
spraying so maybe exploring some other

1368
00:53:21,119 --> 00:53:23,079
opportunities where there's a a switch

1369
00:53:23,079 --> 00:53:24,680
that we put in place where people can

1370
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,040
turn it on when they're actually using

1371
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,359
it as opposed to water being wasted but

1372
00:53:28,359 --> 00:53:30,119
that's secondary to this conversation I

1373
00:53:30,119 --> 00:53:31,640
appreciate the

1374
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:33,480
presentation thank you councelor I

1375
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,240
appreciate that one thing I can say on

1376
00:53:35,240 --> 00:53:36,920
the notice period having Serv the Water

1377
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:38,480
Commission for the last almost seven

1378
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:40,559
years um notice in the Water Commission

1379
00:53:40,559 --> 00:53:42,880
usually tends be 48 to 72 hours

1380
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,359
sometimes it's only 24 do for unforeseen

1381
00:53:45,359 --> 00:53:47,040
circum at the Water Commission level

1382
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:48,920
they try and anticipate usage

1383
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,040
restrictions but sometimes unforeseen

1384
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:52,880
that it becomes very very short so point

1385
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,920
taken on the notice period but if water

1386
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,319
only gives us 24 hours notice it's

1387
00:53:58,319 --> 00:53:59,720
usually because of the Water Commission

1388
00:53:59,720 --> 00:54:02,040
having to make a very snap decision uh

1389
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:03,440
normally we try and give the Water

1390
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:06,200
Commission 40 to 72 hours sometimes or

1391
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,359
five days of an anticipated usage

1392
00:54:08,359 --> 00:54:10,200
constriction so point taken but

1393
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,079
sometimes it is unforeseen circumstances

1394
00:54:12,079 --> 00:54:13,680
just to address your concerns as best I

1395
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,400
could based on my own experience I have

1396
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:18,359
uh councelor mcook and then I have

1397
00:54:18,359 --> 00:54:19,880
councelor

1398
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:23,839
barnhard thank you um I think most of my

1399
00:54:23,839 --> 00:54:25,720
um comments and stuff were covered by

1400
00:54:25,720 --> 00:54:28,040
Council van K and uh my questions by

1401
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,119
councelor barnhard as well um just a

1402
00:54:31,119 --> 00:54:34,520
comment that um perhaps when we are

1403
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,680
doing some of the education campaigns I

1404
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:40,040
know that um really adding statistics

1405
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:43,319
and like facts and figures um to council

1406
00:54:43,319 --> 00:54:46,359
R new Kirk's point with bringing up um

1407
00:54:46,359 --> 00:54:48,480
how much water gets used in the spray

1408
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,440
park and stuff just so people can really

1409
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:53,240
wrap their head around you know the

1410
00:54:53,240 --> 00:54:55,240
impact of some of this stuff and then

1411
00:54:55,240 --> 00:54:57,799
perhaps the impact of not following

1412
00:54:57,799 --> 00:54:59,520
through with some of these things I

1413
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,079
think when people can see those hard

1414
00:55:01,079 --> 00:55:03,240
numbers and and really put that into

1415
00:55:03,240 --> 00:55:05,440
perspective um it helps them understand

1416
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,520
a little bit as to uh what the impacts

1417
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,240
are but otherwise agree to all the

1418
00:55:11,240 --> 00:55:14,119
comments um very relevant and timely

1419
00:55:14,119 --> 00:55:16,920
presentation and appreciate um that

1420
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,240
we're looking forward to to the

1421
00:55:19,240 --> 00:55:21,039
education and awareness piece of this

1422
00:55:21,039 --> 00:55:22,520
because I think this will be a really

1423
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,720
really important um aspect to to helping

1424
00:55:25,720 --> 00:55:28,039
people understand understand um why we

1425
00:55:28,039 --> 00:55:28,960
have to put in some of these

1426
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,039
restrictions and to council R Kirk's

1427
00:55:31,039 --> 00:55:33,160
point that it's not always necessarily

1428
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,799
just bont's decision to to restrict

1429
00:55:35,799 --> 00:55:38,760
people it's the Water Commission and

1430
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:40,680
kind of the region as a whole as we all

1431
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:44,599
work together so thank you thank you

1432
00:55:44,599 --> 00:55:45,960
councelor and just the record too

1433
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,119
councelor Mook sits with me on the Water

1434
00:55:48,119 --> 00:55:49,559
Commission councilman newer is our

1435
00:55:49,559 --> 00:55:51,440
backup the last couple years so we're

1436
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:52,599
we're well versed in the working of the

1437
00:55:52,599 --> 00:55:54,880
Water Commission because we understand

1438
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:56,680
bringing water to your TAP is ated

1439
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:58,079
process not quite as easy as people

1440
00:55:58,079 --> 00:55:59,839
think it is actually so having you said

1441
00:55:59,839 --> 00:56:02,200
that Council barnhard you have the floor

1442
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,359
thank you mayor and I too have sat on

1443
00:56:04,359 --> 00:56:06,119
the Water Commission in my past history

1444
00:56:06,119 --> 00:56:08,160
so we have lots of lots of water people

1445
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,480
here where where we know how uh we think

1446
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,640
we know how most of it works um my last

1447
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:15,359
question is regarding the stakeholder

1448
00:56:15,359 --> 00:56:17,119
engagement and on the very last slide

1449
00:56:17,119 --> 00:56:19,440
you mentioned the community ambassadors

1450
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:20,760
I wonder if you just want to speak to

1451
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:22,520
that a little bit more is are these

1452
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:24,559
ambassadors already chosen are you

1453
00:56:24,559 --> 00:56:26,680
looking for people just what what is the

1454
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:30,390
intention there with Community

1455
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,400
ambassadors through the mayor to

1456
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:34,319
councelor Barnhart so when we look at

1457
00:56:34,319 --> 00:56:36,039
Community ambassadors these are both

1458
00:56:36,039 --> 00:56:37,599
formal and informal positions of

1459
00:56:37,599 --> 00:56:39,359
leadership so we're looking at

1460
00:56:39,359 --> 00:56:41,240
individuals who have a strong voice such

1461
00:56:41,240 --> 00:56:43,160
as yourselves who have also formal

1462
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,319
leadership and great eyes on you and

1463
00:56:45,319 --> 00:56:48,280
looking for for that leaderships when we

1464
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,119
look at our community ambassadors you

1465
00:56:50,119 --> 00:56:51,720
know these might be business owners

1466
00:56:51,720 --> 00:56:53,839
these might be your your average person

1467
00:56:53,839 --> 00:56:55,520
you see on the street you know community

1468
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:57,680
ambassadorship does not necessarily mean

1469
00:56:57,680 --> 00:56:59,520
that they come with a title but that

1470
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:01,920
they do have eyes and influence so when

1471
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:03,559
we look at engaging those Community

1472
00:57:03,559 --> 00:57:05,440
ambassadors it could be at all levels it

1473
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,839

consider for updating the council naming

1519
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:53,880
policy c31 revision 2 the background on

1520
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:55,599
this is November 14th the administration

1521
00:58:55,599 --> 00:58:57,599
was directed Ed after a conversation

1522
00:58:57,599 --> 00:58:59,880
that Council had about a renaming a a

1523
00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:02,280
park and we were directed to come up

1524
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,480
with some options for uh reviewing

1525
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:07,960
revising uh the uh policy the council

1526
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,400
policy c31

1527
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:13,200
R2 the background on this is the current

1528
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:15,720
policy was in place since 2008 with a

1529
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:18,440
revision in September of 2015 the policy

1530
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:20,760
sets out the policy and procedures for

1531
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,119
selecting and applying names to roads

1532
00:59:23,119 --> 00:59:25,599
neighborhoods Parks trails and Municipal

1533
00:59:25,599 --> 00:59:26,720
facilities

1534
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:28,520
it states that the primary function of

1535
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:30,680
naming is to recognize and commemorate

1536
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:33,359
noteworthy persons associated with bont

1537
00:59:33,359 --> 00:59:35,559
reflect bont's Heritage and to recognize

1538
00:59:35,559 --> 00:59:38,039
the flora fauna and natural features of

1539
00:59:38,039 --> 00:59:40,400
the community it also establishes the

1540
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,559
criteria for the inclusion or non

1541
00:59:42,559 --> 00:59:44,880
inclusion of a name or a person to be

1542
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:48,079
used in Bowmont so Administration has

1543
00:59:48,079 --> 00:59:49,200
three options for council's

1544
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:50,359
consideration we're seeking some

1545
00:59:50,359 --> 00:59:52,319
direction tonight before we proceed with

1546
00:59:52,319 --> 00:59:54,119
those options I'm going to invite uh

1547
00:59:54,119 --> 00:59:55,760
Johannes if he has any comments at this

1548
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:57,480
time make could weigh

1549
00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:01,789
in Mr

1550
01:00:01,799 --> 01:00:04,400
Juan no I don't have any comments so

1551
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:06,599
Paul can go on with the uh presenting

1552
01:00:06,599 --> 01:00:08,280
the three options and there will be a

1553
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,480
discussions and um we'll just move

1554
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,559
forward with that thank

1555
01:00:12,559 --> 01:00:16,640
you thank you Mr Wong appreciate

1556
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:19,039
that okay on that note I'll proceed with

1557
01:00:19,039 --> 01:00:21,839
the options so option one is uh no

1558
01:00:21,839 --> 01:00:25,240
changes status quo the current policy is

1559
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,039
uh working although it needs to be

1560
01:00:27,039 --> 01:00:31,200
revised to some degree um so option two

1561
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:33,680
would be a minor administrating review

1562
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:36,359
this year we can undertake the work and

1563
01:00:36,359 --> 01:00:38,240
when we look through that policy there's

1564
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:39,960
changes that are immediately jumping out

1565
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:42,160
at us the organizational changes that

1566
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:44,559
we've made since 2008 and even since

1567
01:00:44,559 --> 01:00:48,000
2015 where there's titles in there and

1568
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:49,599
organizational structure references that

1569
01:00:49,599 --> 01:00:51,680
are not applicable as well we've

1570
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:53,520
introduced other policies that may or

1571
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:56,000
may not align properly with this policy

1572
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:59,440
comes to mind is uh Council policy c33

1573
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:01,520
sponsorship and naming rights which may

1574
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:03,400
or may not be aligned on this naming

1575
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:05,280
policy for especially when it comes to a

1576
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,680
space a facility or a room within a

1577
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,000
facility sort of thing um so that those

1578
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:11,400
are something that I think needs to be

1579
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:13,640
cleaned up regardless and then option

1580
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,440
three would be a fullsome undertaken to

1581
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:18,000
review this and that would include

1582
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,079
Community engagement which I think could

1583
01:01:20,079 --> 01:01:22,319
be a something for Council consider as a

1584
01:01:22,319 --> 01:01:24,880
very valuable piece to this exercise

1585
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:26,280
having said that that would take some

1586
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,200
more time and um that would be something

1587
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:30,079
we'd propose for the 25 budget it would

1588
01:01:30,079 --> 01:01:31,960
be a one-time operational project to do

1589
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:34,280
that work involve the community in this

1590
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,920
process to make sure we're in line with

1591
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:38,039
uh you know our times have changed

1592
01:01:38,039 --> 01:01:41,400
significantly since 2008 and 2015 and

1593
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:42,760
when you look at

1594
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:45,520
Equity diversity and inclusion per se

1595
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:47,839
and how that applies to a policy when

1596
01:01:47,839 --> 01:01:50,760
you're naming something and uh even

1597
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:52,880
potentially how you would rename

1598
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:54,160
something that we have currently that

1599
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:56,680
may or may not align with the uh what we

1600
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:58,359
want to do so those are the three

1601
01:01:58,359 --> 01:02:00,440
options uh option three like I say would

1602
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:01,640
be something we could bring back at

1603
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:02,559
budget because there would be a

1604
01:02:02,559 --> 01:02:05,119
budgetary component to it um I don't

1605
01:02:05,119 --> 01:02:06,880
have a a price tag in mind that would be

1606
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:08,039
something we'd have to look in because

1607
01:02:08,039 --> 01:02:10,079
we haven't Define the scope and then of

1608
01:02:10,079 --> 01:02:11,279
course we would have to look at it from

1609
01:02:11,279 --> 01:02:13,799
there for Budget conversation so with

1610
01:02:13,799 --> 01:02:15,559
that unless Johan got anything further

1611
01:02:15,559 --> 01:02:18,240
I'll turn it back to your worship thank

1612
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:19,720
you Mr sud I do have a quick question

1613
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:21,240
before I go to councilman newer Follow

1614
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:24,000
by councelor Penrod so with option two

1615
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,200
Mr sudor I'm assuming we have the

1616
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:27,720
resources and the horsepower to do

1617
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,240
option two internally addition what any

1618
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:32,079
additional cost in this fiscal year

1619
01:02:32,079 --> 01:02:34,119
whereas option three may involve

1620
01:02:34,119 --> 01:02:36,960
potentially outside uh resources hence

1621
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:39,160
some of the budgetary uh asset may come

1622
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:40,799
with option three is that a reasonable

1623
01:02:40,799 --> 01:02:42,839
assessment on the on the report yes

1624
01:02:42,839 --> 01:02:45,480
that's correct R thank you good enough

1625
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:47,000
uh councilman ner followed by Council

1626
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,119
penro followed by Council tbus followed

1627
01:02:49,119 --> 01:02:50,079

01:02:55,559 --> 01:02:58,680
for for for pulling this together um for

1631
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:00,520
for me it seems like we have a little

1632
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:03,000
bit of an opportunity here to make some

1633
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:04,799
simple changes and then you know and

1634
01:03:04,799 --> 01:03:07,240
then consider a piece of budget right so

1635
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,319
uh where where my head is at on this

1636
01:03:09,319 --> 01:03:12,000
tonight mayor would be uh moving option

1637
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:15,640
two to allow Administration to to to get

1638
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:17,880
some work and make those simple updates

1639
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:20,119
and then uh option three could come back

1640
01:03:20,119 --> 01:03:23,559
at at budget as a one pager you know um

1641
01:03:23,559 --> 01:03:25,760
you know un unfunded and council could

1642
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,440
consider that that work at budget so the

1643
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:30,119
you know so that's where my head is at

1644
01:03:30,119 --> 01:03:32,000

1645
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,160

01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:53,799
newerk has the floor it's it's his

1654
01:03:53,799 --> 01:03:55,440
choice if he'd like to move the motion

1655
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,000
if you would rather wait that that's

1656
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,319
also acceptable okay so procedurally I

1657
01:04:00,319 --> 01:04:01,920
tend to always ask for questions first

1658
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:03,559
but procedurally anybody can make a

1659
01:04:03,559 --> 01:04:05,119
motion anytime because now we're looking

1660
01:04:05,119 --> 01:04:07,079
at this part of the decision-making

1661
01:04:07,079 --> 01:04:09,039
process so just to be clear you can make

1662
01:04:09,039 --> 01:04:11,359
a motion any time and Council yerk I'll

1663
01:04:11,359 --> 01:04:13,359
go back to you for a motion now if you

1664
01:04:13,359 --> 01:04:14,640
if you choose to or do you want to yield

1665
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:16,559
the floor yeah I think I'll make a

1666
01:04:16,559 --> 01:04:18,799
motion for option two and then that

1667
01:04:18,799 --> 01:04:21,000
still allows uh you know questions to be

1668
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:22,839
asked around that and so I think we can

1669
01:04:22,839 --> 01:04:25,559
kind of work this out here so okay I'll

1670
01:04:25,559 --> 01:04:28,029
uh

1671
01:04:28,039 --> 01:04:31,000
y I understood that you also wanted us

1672
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:32,880
to proceed with option three to have the

1673
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,440
one pager brought forward at the budget

1674
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:37,200
yeah can we include that in one or do

1675
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:38,799
should we do two we can include that in

1676
01:04:38,799 --> 01:04:41,680
one we can say that um options two and

1677
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:44,000
three as set out in the report be

1678
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,400
approved sure yeah let's do that if that

1679
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:48,520
provides good Clarity we'll take a

1680
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:50,160
second and let Madam clerk sort of word

1681
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:51,839
Smith the motion for councilman UK

1682
01:04:51,839 --> 01:04:53,720
consideration and once you approve the

1683
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:55,720
wording Steve will ask you to move it

1684
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:57,240
and then we'll go to discussion on the

1685
01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:58,920
motion which may include some question

1686
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:00,680
from counselors that may even be in

1687
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:02,039
their minds as part of the discussion on

1688
01:05:02,039 --> 01:05:05,200
the motion so for second sounds good

1689
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:07,319
yeah and I'll uh I'll move that options

1690
01:05:07,319 --> 01:05:09,319
two and three as set out in the April

1691
01:05:09,319 --> 01:05:12,079
23rd 2024 options for updating the

1692
01:05:12,079 --> 01:05:13,960
council naming policy and developing a

1693
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:15,839
commemorative names program be approved

1694
01:05:15,839 --> 01:05:17,599
and I guess I'll speak to it Bri thank

1695
01:05:17,599 --> 01:05:18,480
you councelor do you wish to speak to

1696
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:20,559
your motion yeah so I think as I said

1697
01:05:20,559 --> 01:05:23,160
earlier the the opportunity here is to

1698
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:25,400
uh get some administrative work done in

1699
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:28,559
off option two during this current

1700
01:05:28,559 --> 01:05:32,200
period ahead of budget then at budget

1701
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:34,760
option three brings forward a one pager

1702
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:37,119
unfunded that would be considered as

1703
01:05:37,119 --> 01:05:39,880
part of the budget deliberation so I

1704
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:41,760
think that allows us to to start moving

1705
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:43,160
this forward and doing some simple

1706
01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:44,880
updates that are administratively

1707
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:49,400
required uh under current workload and

1708
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:51,400
uh and then consider the budgetary pie

1709
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:53,119
at budget so we'll see what council

1710
01:05:53,119 --> 01:05:54,640
thinks of that thank you thank you

1711
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:56,559
counselor so

1712
01:05:56,559 --> 01:05:57,799
I have a quick question don't mind for

1713
01:05:57,799 --> 01:06:01,880
administration Mr sudor um operationally

1714
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:04,200
speaking capacity wise I don't see this

1715
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:06,319
as being is this a doable way of uh

1716
01:06:06,319 --> 01:06:08,319
presenting this uh while one page or

1717
01:06:08,319 --> 01:06:09,480
come for Budget time without having a

1718
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:11,079
lot of work from your department to

1719
01:06:11,079 --> 01:06:12,880
incurring additional

1720
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,039
expense I'm GNA make too an us to all

1721
01:06:15,039 --> 01:06:16,480
the work no I'm just kidding yeah we we

1722
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:18,240
can manage it that's why we set it up

1723
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,160
that way worship yeah okay good that's I

1724
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:21,760
just to clear so other Comm of council

1725
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:24,160
know we have capacity to if should this

1726
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:26,279
motion pass all right go to counselor

01:06:26,279 --> 01:06:28,279

Penrod thank you may

1731
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:38,119
um thanks to council van nuker for

1732
01:06:38,119 --> 01:06:40,599
making the motion it's very much in line

1733
01:06:40,599 --> 01:06:43,000
with uh what I was thinking but I do

1734
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,240
just want to start my remark by saying

1735
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:47,240
I'm a little bit confused the way this

1736
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:51,400
came back um my understanding and just

1737
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:53,200
going back and reviewing some of the

1738
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:55,799
wording um so one of these

1739
01:06:55,799 --> 01:06:58,200
communication's always harder than it it

1740
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:00,079
seems on the face of it my understanding

1741
01:07:00,079 --> 01:07:02,279
was that we had essentially asked for

1742
01:07:02,279 --> 01:07:07,079
three and uh and then we we got what we

1743
01:07:07,079 --> 01:07:09,599
got today which is kind of three options

1744
01:07:09,599 --> 01:07:12,640
uh and so I'm just wondering if you can

1745
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:15,520
give us some clarity or background I'm

1746
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:18,839
I'm wondering is at if as you began to

1747
01:07:18,839 --> 01:07:22,359
do the work did you realize that maybe

1748
01:07:22,359 --> 01:07:24,200
there was going to be a more significant

1749
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:26,720
amount of Labor and research involved

1750
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:29,000
and and

1751
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:32,640
thus thus we returned what what has been

1752
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:33,760
returned

1753
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:36,640
today yeah thanks for the question um

1754
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:38,960
the the request was to provide options

1755
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:40,680
and I I won't speak for Jo I'll let him

1756
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:42,119
weigh in if he wants he was the one

1757
01:07:42,119 --> 01:07:44,720
behind most of this report um but I

1758
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:46,400
don't think this was planned activity

1759
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:48,520
until that conversation with Council

1760
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:50,760
about renaming the park and then when we

1761
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:52,599
looked at that we realized this is you

1762
01:07:52,599 --> 01:07:54,160
know potentially out of Step or out of

1763
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:57,559
alignment with today today's world so um

1764
01:07:57,559 --> 01:08:00,480
even in the processes May more clearly

1765
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:02,400
defined would help but I'll let Jo offer

1766
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:05,359
him a chance to potentially answer

1767
01:08:05,359 --> 01:08:08,680
that thank you thank you councilor panro

1768
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:12,400
for the questions and uh since the uh

1769
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:14,960
the council approved this motion and

1770
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:17,719
administration began to think about uh

1771
01:08:17,719 --> 01:08:20,600
the um what what kind of work uh has to

1772
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:24,080
be undertaken to update the the policy

1773
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:26,239
and uh and then we realize that in order

1774
01:08:26,239 --> 01:08:29,640
to have a fome review of the policy it

1775
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:32,600
will take a lot of resources and time

1776
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:36,359
and uh and that and also I think the the

1777
01:08:36,359 --> 01:08:39,520
uh the majority of the uh the project

1778
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:42,199
will be uh public engagement because a

1779
01:08:42,199 --> 01:08:46,239
lot of the um um uh concerns with uh

1780
01:08:46,239 --> 01:08:49,640
naming uh particularly the the several

1781
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:52,159
uh within the last several years uh a

1782
01:08:52,159 --> 01:08:55,480
lot of the um uh the issues around how

1783
01:08:55,480 --> 01:08:58,759
to name uh a street a building or

1784
01:08:58,759 --> 01:09:01,759
whatever so uh when we when we reval

1785
01:09:01,759 --> 01:09:04,199
that we think that it is bigger than you

1786
01:09:04,199 --> 01:09:08,239
know um uh what we can do uh in 2024 and

1787
01:09:08,239 --> 01:09:11,159
we would require resources and at the

1788
01:09:11,159 --> 01:09:14,920
time we have a a a budget approved in in

1789
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:17,679
December so we thought 2025 and also

1790
01:09:17,679 --> 01:09:20,480
this year there there are uh uh designed

1791
01:09:20,480 --> 01:09:23,120
or planned projects already so it may

1792
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:27,799
not be u a good investment of of St time

1793
01:09:27,799 --> 01:09:30,120
in doing this so we're thinking maybe it

1794
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:33,159
it's better for 2025 but instead you

1795
01:09:33,159 --> 01:09:35,839
know of waiting until 2025 there is an

1796
01:09:35,839 --> 01:09:38,640
opportunity to uh uh update

1797
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:40,279
administratively because like for

1798
01:09:40,279 --> 01:09:43,880
example uh the policy refers to the um

1799
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:46,040
to the to the city as the still the town

1800
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:48,839
of bont so and those are the things that

1801
01:09:48,839 --> 01:09:51,839
maybe we can just immediately do to uh

1802
01:09:51,839 --> 01:09:55,400
clean the policy up and as uh Mr sud was

1803
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:57,960
saying uh there are several things that

1804
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:01,000
uh we have to make the alignment with uh

1805
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:04,280
other policies uh that has Council uh

1806
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:07,320
approv over over this years so there are

1807
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:08,960
several things that Administration can

1808
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:11,800
do uh to clean it up and then if Council

1809
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:14,560
desires to uh have this full review next

1810
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:17,840
year then we will Embark uh on defining

1811
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:20,360
the scope and everything next

1812
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:23,320
year thank you Mr Wong Mr thank you Mr

1813
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:26,440
Wong that really helpful um kind of bit

1814
01:10:26,440 --> 01:10:29,040
of a backgrounder there uh gives me a

1815
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:32,199
bit more color on the thought and uh

1816
01:10:32,199 --> 01:10:34,320
work that's gone into bring bringing

1817
01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:35,560
forward this approach so really

1818
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:38,640
appreciate that um maybe one more

1819
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:40,560
clarification before I'll just speak

01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:43,840
more directly to the motion are we aware

1821
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,880
if if we do go with what councilor Ben

1822
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:49,080
newerk has

1823
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:52,640

work that might inadvertently get hung

1829
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:17,870
up waiting for us to do this

1830
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:21,520
piece I'm not aware of this but uh as we

1831
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:24,960
probably working on the um uh working on

1832
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:27,600
option to uh we can reach out to um the

1833
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:29,800
stakeholders I like to mention about

1834
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:31,800
developers and the school boards uh we

1835
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:33,440
have very close relationship with them

1836
01:11:33,440 --> 01:11:35,679
so we can just uh reach out to them and

1837
01:11:35,679 --> 01:11:38,440
ask them for some feedback and input

1838
01:11:38,440 --> 01:11:40,560
definitely appreciate that yeah we just

1839
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:44,920
always want to avoid um un unintentional

1840
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:48,320
consequences right so um then I'll just

1841
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:50,800
if I could M speak briefly to the motion

1842
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:52,840
yeah um please proceed I do believe that

1843
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:55,520
this is important work and and of option

1844
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:58,639
three that more fullsome kind of uh

1845
01:11:58,639 --> 01:12:04,159
review and uh rethink of our policy is

1846
01:12:04,159 --> 01:12:06,920
important work but it's hard given the

1847
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:09,239
current capacity of administration and

1848
01:12:09,239 --> 01:12:11,600
other I would say more pressing issues

1849
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:14,719
in the community it's it's hard to um

1850
01:12:14,719 --> 01:12:18,360
characterize this work as urgent uh and

1851
01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:21,000
so I think councilor van New kerk's

1852
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:23,600
Motion strikes a good balance we have

1853
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:25,480
the opportunity to kind of pick of that

1854
01:12:25,480 --> 01:12:27,760
low hanging fruit to clean up our

1855
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:32,159
current bylaw uh or policy at pardon me

1856
01:12:32,159 --> 01:12:34,920
um while we wait doing that further work

1857
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:36,800
I will also point out that at present

1858
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:38,639
our Equity diversity and inclusion

1859
01:12:38,639 --> 01:12:41,159
committee is still paused and awaiting

1860
01:12:41,159 --> 01:12:43,400
the hiring of a new administrative lead

1861
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:45,360
and I believe their involvement in this

1862
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:49,199
work will be critical to uh turning out

1863
01:12:49,199 --> 01:12:51,120
a policy that's excellent and can stand

1864
01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:53,040
the test of time so I'd like to see us

1865
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:54,679
wait on a more major update of the

1866
01:12:54,679 --> 01:12:57,199
naming policy until such a such a time

1867
01:12:57,199 --> 01:12:59,719
as the EDI staff and the committee are

1868
01:12:59,719 --> 01:13:02,239
in place and functioning well so that

1869
01:13:02,239 --> 01:13:04,639
they can give us that Frontline feedback

1870
01:13:04,639 --> 01:13:07,960
and I think Mr Wong spoke to that in his

1871
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:10,320
uh response to my first question too I

1872
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:13,480
would uh ask if we could

1873
01:13:13,480 --> 01:13:15,239
suggest

1874
01:13:15,239 --> 01:13:19,639
um a couple items that we'd like to see

1875
01:13:19,639 --> 01:13:24,000
uh with this kind of option to could we

1876
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:26,440
ask um that

1877
01:13:26,440 --> 01:13:31,159
perhaps only names already vetted and

1878
01:13:31,159 --> 01:13:33,920
currently on the maintained roster would

1879
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:36,159
be considered until such a time as a

1880
01:13:36,159 --> 01:13:39,400
more fome review can be undertaken I'm

1881
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:42,560
I'm thinking it may not happen in may

1882
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:45,639
not happen that this is funded in 2025

1883
01:13:45,639 --> 01:13:48,400
we have more priorities in bulm than we

1884
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:51,000
can manage in any given year and again I

1885
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:52,880
think this is work that we want to do

1886
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:53,800
really

1887
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:58,080
well and I it's important but it

1888
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:01,040
probably won't be urgent in the way that

1889
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:03,840
um School sites for high school are and

1890
01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:06,480
things like that so um these two

1891
01:14:06,480 --> 01:14:08,480
suggestions are really if this gets

1892
01:14:08,480 --> 01:14:11,560
pushed out a few years I think um these

1893
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:13,280
two suggestions would help me vote in

1894
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:16,679
favor of this number two option so again

1895
01:14:16,679 --> 01:14:20,320
just um essentially not taking more

1896
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:23,159
names onto the roster that we maintain

1897
01:14:23,159 --> 01:14:25,639
and second um

1898
01:14:25,639 --> 01:14:27,520
asking that preference be given to flora

1899
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:30,600
fauna and natural features um of the

1900
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:32,719
community in the interim that's already

1901
01:14:32,719 --> 01:14:35,280
in our policy so it's not a change it's

1902
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:37,840
more of a change of an emphasis I'm just

1903
01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:40,199
suggesting that we'd be less likely to

1904
01:14:40,199 --> 01:14:42,600
run into problems with names based on

1905
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:45,360
Flor FAA or natural features then we

1906
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:48,280
would uh based on a a name from an

1907
01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:50,320
individual thank

1908
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:53,520
you thank you counselor any yeah through

1909
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:55,920
theic P I wouldn't see us making any

1910
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:58,320
significant changes to existing names on

1911
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:00,800
the on the roster to point I think this

1912
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:02,520
is this would be just more of a cleanup

1913
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:04,120
so that it's at least in alignment with

1914
01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:05,840
the terminology that we're using today

1915
01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:07,400
with other policies and the

1916
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:09,320
organizational structure and even more

1917
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:11,719
modern verbiage around that but those

1918
01:15:11,719 --> 01:15:13,320
sort of significant changes would would

1919
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:15,040
be tied to option three because that

1920
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:17,480
would likely involve the community's say

1921
01:15:17,480 --> 01:15:20,159
and how that is formed for the future

1922
01:15:20,159 --> 01:15:21,880
because um if we're going to entertain

1923
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:24,120
new names and how how do we make those

1924
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:27,320
decisions um in today's world so yes

1925
01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:29,520
that if I've answered your question

1926
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:31,639
thank you very much councilor telis

1927
01:15:31,639 --> 01:15:33,360
followed by councelor mcook councelor

1928
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:36,199
Tas you have the floor thank you mayor I

1929
01:15:36,199 --> 01:15:38,760
I think this one's an no-brainer I well

1930
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:40,760
councelor van Newark beat me to uh to

1931
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:44,000
the button here um he's he's managed to

1932
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:45,840
capture post scenario one where we can

1933
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:47,920
re-evaluate and prioritize come budget

1934
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:50,800
time um but the second one which is most

1935
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:52,480
important we're looking at a policy

1936
01:15:52,480 --> 01:15:54,440
that's roughly 10 years old um and

1937
01:15:54,440 --> 01:15:56,400
obviously requires a little bit of

1938
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:58,840
massaging uh to update it and modernize

1939
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:00,800
it so um I think that's the route we

1940
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:02,719
need to go sooner than later and the

1941
01:16:02,719 --> 01:16:04,480
fact that it won't have any Financial

1942
01:16:04,480 --> 01:16:08,600
impact I is very significant and yeah

1943
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:10,639
option one I I don't really think is an

1944
01:16:10,639 --> 01:16:13,280
option so I'm in alignment with uh with

1945
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:15,400
the proposal here thank you councelor

1946
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:16,920
appreciate that Council M cook followed

1947
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:19,639
by councelor barard counc cook you have

1948
01:16:19,639 --> 01:16:22,639
the floor thank you um once again most

1949
01:16:22,639 --> 01:16:25,719
of my uh comments were um clarified

1950
01:16:25,719 --> 01:16:27,920
especially surrounding the EDI portion

1951
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:31,880
of it um councelor Penrod captured that

1952
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:34,920
um nicely and uh Mr Wong clarified some

1953
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:38,280
of that so um agree with everything that

1954
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:40,159
said and um I'm in support of this

1955
01:16:40,159 --> 01:16:41,800
motion as

1956
01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:43,760
well thank you councelor councelor

1957
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:45,159
burnhard you have the

1958
01:16:45,159 --> 01:16:49,280
floor thank you mayor um I don't have a

1959
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:50,800
problem with the direction this is going

1960
01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:53,000
if I understand it correctly but the

1961
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:56,199
motion has me a bit confused

1962
01:16:56,199 --> 01:16:58,440
um and Madam clerk maybe you can help me

1963
01:16:58,440 --> 01:17:01,679
here if I read that literally it means

1964
01:17:01,679 --> 01:17:04,520
that option three which says to bring it

1965
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:06,880
back as a one-time project that's

1966
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:10,719
essentially approving it and I think we

1967
01:17:10,719 --> 01:17:13,199
have to do that at budget time so I'm

1968
01:17:13,199 --> 01:17:15,320
I'm just a little bit uncomfortable with

1969
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:18,480
the way the motion is read Madam clerk

1970
01:17:18,480 --> 01:17:20,560
thank you thank you Mr Mayor through you

1971
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:23,120
to counselor barnhard option three is

1972
01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:25,280
about bringing the one pager forward to

1973
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:27,320
the budget so it would be pending

1974
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:30,040
Council approval at budget so it's just

1975
01:17:30,040 --> 01:17:32,360
developing the plan for the budget

1976
01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:34,679
process for consideration by Council

1977
01:17:34,679 --> 01:17:38,080
would an amendment uh be be in order

1978
01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:39,120
then to

1979
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:43,120
say if approved no it's not necessary

1980
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:45,080
because option three is simply to

1981
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:48,400
prepare the proposal for the budget so

1982
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:50,480
it does not approve the action it just

1983
01:17:50,480 --> 01:17:53,520
approves preparing a proposal for the

1984
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:55,520
budget

1985
01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:57,239
I wish I felt more comfortable but I'm

1986
01:17:57,239 --> 01:17:58,760
looking at the report and how it's

1987
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:02,239
written and it it does I think it's

1988
01:18:02,239 --> 01:18:04,960
great I think in the room we all agree

1989
01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:07,080
with what you're saying but I wouldn't

1990
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:08,639
want someone else to see the words and

1991
01:18:08,639 --> 01:18:10,840
think differently so this would be

1992
01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:12,880
brought forward as a one-time project

1993
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:16,360
for the 2025 operational

1994
01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:19,040
budget we could and would be voted on it

1995
01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:20,880
at budget R part I know that's our

1996
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:22,480
intent I just want to make sure that

1997
01:18:22,480 --> 01:18:28,910
it's not misunderstood that's

1998
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:31,080
attention and and I know this is

1999
01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:33,600
councelor brand new Kirk's but motion so

2000
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:35,080
I'll go to Council maner in a moment

2001
01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:37,080
here and see how he feels about it tell

2002
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:38,360
me if he thinks that's okay I understand

2003
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:39,440
your concern but to me it's pretty

2004
01:18:39,440 --> 01:18:40,520
straightforward but I understand your

2005
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:42,679
concern for interpretation so let's just

2006
01:18:42,679 --> 01:18:44,960
take a second here and see what we can

2007
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,310
come up

2008
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:49,560
with Council ner you want to speak to

2009
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:51,120
this right now while we're we're

2010
01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:55,040
smithing it a bit your microphone is on

2011
01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:58,320
hang on now it's on yeah thank you mayor

2012
01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:00,040
um it might put councelor barnhart's

2013
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,520
minded ease if it just said unfunded in

2014
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:05,800
in the motion U somehow like what I

2015
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:07,679
would say is the whole proposed budget

2016
01:19:07,679 --> 01:19:10,239
is unfunded until we approve it right

2017
01:19:10,239 --> 01:19:13,920
and so the uh I I wording that would

2018
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:15,800
have probably put you at ease in the

2019
01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:17,600
report tonight would have been this

2020
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:20,000
would be brought forward as an unfunded

2021
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:22,960
comma one-time project in the right so I

2022
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:25,120
think that maybe if we can include that

2023
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:26,960
unfunded piece in there that might put

2024
01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:31,800
your concerns at ease maybe councilor

2025
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:34,400
Barnhart hang on mics are being ready

2026
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:36,560
okay now your mic's on thank you and

2027
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:38,080
thank you councelor vanar my my

2028
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:39,679
intention is to really look at it when

2029
01:19:39,679 --> 01:19:41,239
it comes I mean that that's what I want

2030
01:19:41,239 --> 01:19:43,320
to do I don't want to preclude that

2031
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:46,159
conversation uh again uh I don't know

2032
01:19:46,159 --> 01:19:47,719
what everyone has in mind in terms of

2033
01:19:47,719 --> 01:19:49,560
changes we're we're not having that

2034
01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:51,600
conversation yet and I guess that's the

2035
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:53,760
one thing that I was kind of going to

2036
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:56,520
say as well is that if we wait until

2037
01:19:56,520 --> 01:19:58,880
budget time to have the conversation you

2038
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:00,360
know how we all are rushed and have

2039
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:02,440
other things on our mind at budget time

2040
01:20:02,440 --> 01:20:04,639
I wonder and this is a wondering out

2041
01:20:04,639 --> 01:20:07,239
loud whether this ought to come back uh

2042
01:20:07,239 --> 01:20:08,880
at a certain time that gives us enough

2043
01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:10,520
time to debate some of the issues around

2044
01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:12,920
it rather than just be at budget time

2045
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:15,280
because I think look at the amendment

2046
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:16,280
and I'll see if that's okay from your

2047
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:17,600
perspective I'll ask councilor R newerk

2048
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:19,280
if he's okay with it my understanding is

2049
01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:21,159
option two will come back to us before

2050
01:20:21,159 --> 01:20:24,000
budget in the fall right option come

2051
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:25,960
back to us and if Council approves

2052
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:28,360
option two based on the on the rework it

2053
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:29,800
won't be an option three a budget

2054
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:31,199
because we've already approved it if we

2055
01:20:31,199 --> 01:20:33,520
say nope it needs more work we'll

2056
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:34,840
consider option three of budget that

2057
01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:37,760
allows us to do that uh is the amended

2058
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:39,560

01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:41,360

01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:44,480
vary um tonight as part of the report we

2134
01:23:44,480 --> 01:23:47,800
brought a a presentation on uh how tax

2135
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:50,960
rates get uh get set to better inform

2136
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:53,280
both Council and the public on on how

2137
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:55,679
tax rates are set administ ation uh has

2138
01:23:55,679 --> 01:23:58,040
the report that outlines the process so

2139
01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:00,000
the process is Guided by Council policy

2140
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:03,080
c48 which is the taxation policies and

2141
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:05,320
this ensures taxes are levied in a fair

2142
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:08,360
transparent and Equitable manner uh with

2143
01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:10,360
that the first step in setting tax rates

2144
01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:12,960
is to determine the revenue requirement

2145
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:14,679
which is of course city council

2146
01:24:14,679 --> 01:24:17,080
approving a budget within the budget are

2147
01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:20,159
many sources of of Revenue and expenses

2148
01:24:20,159 --> 01:24:22,679
uh and the difference between any non-t

2149
01:24:22,679 --> 01:24:24,719
tax sources of revenue things like fees

2150
01:24:24,719 --> 01:24:28,639
permits uh investment uh income uh and

2151
01:24:28,639 --> 01:24:30,880
the budgeted expenses creates the Delta

2152
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:31,920
which is known as the revenue

2153
01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:33,880
requirement this Revenue requirement is

2154
01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:35,960
the amount needed to be levied through

2155
01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:38,600
taxation in order to balance the

2156
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:40,760
budget uh the revenue requirement was

2157
01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:42,600
set at the number that is on the screen

2158
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:46,480
the 28,38 20000 uh as part of the budget

2159
01:24:46,480 --> 01:24:47,760
approval in

2160
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:51,280
December and this included a estimate of

2161
01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:54,880
1,200 500 for growth Revenue once again

2162
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:58,840
reflects that 6.45% tax

2163
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:01,480
increase uh the next step in setting tax

2164
01:25:01,480 --> 01:25:03,400
rates is to finalize the assessment

2165
01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:05,679
which becomes known in January uh the

2166
01:25:05,679 --> 01:25:07,679
city's Municipal assessment finalizes

2167
01:25:07,679 --> 01:25:09,560
the assessment for the year ass

2168
01:25:09,560 --> 01:25:11,480
assessment notice are sent out uh or

2169
01:25:11,480 --> 01:25:13,080
mailed out in in

2170
01:25:13,080 --> 01:25:16,040
February and the budgeted forecast for

2171
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:18,560
growth which is that 1.25 million gets

2172
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:20,960
removed and replaced with the

2173
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:23,440
actual uh once the amended finalized

2174
01:25:23,440 --> 01:25:26,719
Revenue requirement is known uh which is

2175
01:25:26,719 --> 01:25:28,119
why the budget amendment always comes

2176
01:25:28,119 --> 01:25:30,440
before the tax bylaw so on the slide on

2177
01:25:30,440 --> 01:25:32,960
the screen we see uh the top kind of set

2178
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:34,880
of numbers there is is that originally

2179
01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:37,520
approved budget add in what the actual

2180
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:39,800
growth number is as well as the increase

2181
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:43,199
on the actual growth uh that's 6.45% and

2182
01:25:43,199 --> 01:25:45,840
reduce the the estimate from the amount

2183
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:48,159
and that gets us to the the unrounded

2184
01:25:48,159 --> 01:25:51,199
revenue requirement which is that 20 28

2185
01:25:51,199 --> 01:25:55,000
milon 322 uh 098

2186
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:56,960
um and as we see on the bottom table

2187
01:25:56,960 --> 01:25:58,600
there is is what goes in the amended

2188
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:01,000
budget we round to the nearest 100 so we

2189
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:03,840
see the actual Revenue requirement um

2190
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:06,000
after the finalized

2191
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:08,000
assessment

2192
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:10,800
uh on this slide is a A visual

2193
01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:12,560
representation of what that process

2194
01:26:12,560 --> 01:26:14,719
looks like uh where the blue squares

2195
01:26:14,719 --> 01:26:17,280
represent how a city's tax base grows

2196
01:26:17,280 --> 01:26:20,000
from one year to the next uh the blue

2197
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:22,119
square on the left reflects the amount

2198
01:26:22,119 --> 01:26:25,360
of Municipal taxes collected in 2023

2199
01:26:25,360 --> 01:26:28,760
which is uh 25.4

2200
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:32,000
million uh the green bar on the top on

2201
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:35,199
that left Square represents uh increased

2202
01:26:35,199 --> 01:26:36,840
revenue from the physical growth of the

2203
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:39,920
city so new buildings uh what have you

2204
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:42,080
uh the orange bar on the right that

2205
01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:44,520
reflects the approved tax increase

2206
01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:46,760
through the budget process that's

2207
01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:49,360
6.45% and then there's a small yellow

2208
01:26:49,360 --> 01:26:51,880
Square in the top quarter which re which

2209
01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:53,800
uh reflects the impact of the increase

2210
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:56,760
on the growth so that was that

2211
01:26:56,760 --> 01:27:00,000
76,5 76 on this

2212
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:02,480
slide uh adding these components

2213
01:27:02,480 --> 01:27:04,560
together brings the city to its new tax

2214
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:06,480
base for 2024 which is the blue square

2215
01:27:06,480 --> 01:27:08,320
on the

2216
01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:11,600
right next step is to determine uh the

2217
01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:13,360
amount of tax re Revenue that's

2218
01:27:13,360 --> 01:27:16,800
applicable to setting a rate so uh

2219
01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:18,800
within the overall budget for Municipal

2220
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:21,080
Taxes there are forecasts for for items

2221
01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:24,360
like supplemental taxes adjustments as

2222
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:26,679
well as Annex properties the city's

2223
01:27:26,679 --> 01:27:28,719
assessment does include Annex properties

2224
01:27:28,719 --> 01:27:31,320
that uh at one point were a part of luk

2225
01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:34,040
County and so per the annexation

2226
01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:35,639
agreement are still taxed at luk

2227
01:27:35,639 --> 01:27:37,320
County's rates or the lesser of the

2228
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:40,320
cities or luk County's rates rather and

2229
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:41,960
therefore they're not used to calculate

2230
01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:44,400
the city's actual

2231
01:27:44,400 --> 01:27:47,960
rate so removing those items gets us to

2232
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:50,960
that bottom number which is the actual

2233
01:27:50,960 --> 01:27:54,719
Revenue requirement for rate setting

2234
01:27:54,719 --> 01:27:57,080
um after that what uh the next step for

2235
01:27:57,080 --> 01:27:59,000
administration takes is converting any

2236
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:01,719
non-residential assessment so the city's

2237
01:28:01,719 --> 01:28:04,600
taxation policy uh sets a general

2238
01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:07,639
Municipal tax ratio of 1.4 to1 for

2239
01:28:07,639 --> 01:28:10,520
non-residential versus residential rates

2240
01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:11,840
uh the municipal government act

2241
01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:13,760
specifies that this ratio cannot exceed

2242
01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:14,760
5 to

2243
01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:16,719
one uh

2244
01:28:16,719 --> 01:28:19,560
so calculation on the screen brings

2245
01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:21,880
essentially the residential and non-res

2246
01:28:21,880 --> 01:28:25,600
residential assessment on par to set the

2247
01:28:25,600 --> 01:28:28,280
rate next St step which is just

2248
01:28:28,280 --> 01:28:30,840
calculating the rate so we take that

2249
01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:33,800
number which has the the r beside it is

2250
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:36,639
the numerator the assessment becomes the

2251
01:28:36,639 --> 01:28:38,760
denominator and that calculates the

2252
01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:41,960
residential rate uh multiplying the

2253
01:28:41,960 --> 01:28:44,040
residential rate by the ratio set forth

2254
01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:46,719
in in Council policy c48 which is that

2255
01:28:46,719 --> 01:28:49,880
1.4 ratio provides the non-residential

2256
01:28:49,880 --> 01:28:53,000
rate uh rates commonly are displayed in

2257
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:55,639
in Mills which refers to $1,000 worth of

2258
01:28:55,639 --> 01:28:57,960
assessment value um believe this is

2259
01:28:57,960 --> 01:28:59,520
where the term mill rate comes from my

2260
01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:01,000
latin's not very good but I believe

2261
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:04,960
that's Latin um anyway that so that gets

2262
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:07,040
us to how we commonly see rates

2263
01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:08,920
displayed on the bottom right corner

2264
01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:10,239
which is

2265
01:29:10,239 --> 01:29:15,280
6855 for the residential rate and 9. 597

2266
01:29:15,280 --> 01:29:17,960
and change for the the non-residential

2267
01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:21,000
um other items uh that rates are set for

2268
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:23,719
are requisition taxes uh the same

2269
01:29:23,719 --> 01:29:25,760
process C for dividing the required

2270
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:28,199
Revenue to to requisition is is design

2271
01:29:28,199 --> 01:29:29,960
or divided by the applicable assessment

2272
01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:32,639
to set the rates um and as already

2273
01:29:32,639 --> 01:29:34,920
mentioned 9.9 million is the amount that

2274
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:36,199
gets collected by the city as

2275
01:29:36,199 --> 01:29:38,040
requisition taxes and then further

2276
01:29:38,040 --> 01:29:40,440
remitted to each of the the entities on

2277
01:29:40,440 --> 01:29:42,760
the right hand side of that

2278
01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:46,639
slide um the numbers on the screen are

2279
01:29:46,639 --> 01:29:49,639
the the the finalized uh screenshots

2280
01:29:49,639 --> 01:29:52,280
from the the tax bylaw um the city

2281
01:29:52,280 --> 01:29:54,600
provides both the the overall assessment

2282
01:29:54,600 --> 01:29:57,520
the rate and then the uh the tax levy

2283
01:29:57,520 --> 01:29:59,800
that gets yielded from that rate which

2284
01:29:59,800 --> 01:30:02,760
matches what is in the amended budget uh

2285
01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:05,280
the table on the left shows uh a rate

2286
01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:08,119
payer what their overall rate would be

2287
01:30:08,119 --> 01:30:10,840
including uh requisition taxes such as

2288
01:30:10,840 --> 01:30:13,320
school authorities and the wuk Regional

2289
01:30:13,320 --> 01:30:15,560
Housing foundation and designated

2290
01:30:15,560 --> 01:30:19,440
industrial property uh if it's

2291
01:30:19,440 --> 01:30:22,119
applicable um one important concept

2292
01:30:22,119 --> 01:30:24,520
within the city's city of bont taxation

2293
01:30:24,520 --> 01:30:27,520
policy is revenue neutrality um this is

2294
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:29,360
especially important to realize as rate

2295
01:30:29,360 --> 01:30:32,400
payers review their assessment notices

2296
01:30:32,400 --> 01:30:34,280
uh so the city's Municipal property tax

2297
01:30:34,280 --> 01:30:37,560
revenues shall not increase or decrease

2298
01:30:37,560 --> 01:30:40,000
due to market assessment value increases

2299
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:40,840
or

2300
01:30:40,840 --> 01:30:43,119
decrease this approach protects both the

2301
01:30:43,119 --> 01:30:45,960
city and taxpayers from large shifts in

2302
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:48,199
in property taxation resulting from

2303
01:30:48,199 --> 01:30:50,800
market value fluctuation so as things

2304
01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:53,119
like inflation go up or down that

2305
01:30:53,119 --> 01:30:55,440
doesn't impact the amount of of tax that

2306
01:30:55,440 --> 01:30:57,679
the revenue uh the city

2307
01:30:57,679 --> 01:31:00,560
collects um so the example on the screen

2308
01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:03,280
what we see is uh it really how A

2309
01:31:03,280 --> 01:31:05,560
individual taxpayers bill is affected is

2310
01:31:05,560 --> 01:31:06,600
based

2311
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:09,560
on how uh how much their assessment

2312
01:31:09,560 --> 01:31:11,480
either went up or down in comparison to

2313
01:31:11,480 --> 01:31:13,480
the average so the I'll I'll flip to the

2314
01:31:13,480 --> 01:31:14,920
next screen it might be a little more

2315
01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:17,199
helpful the average for the year was an

2316
01:31:17,199 --> 01:31:20,760
increase of 5.4 so uh a rate payer whose

2317
01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:23,679
assessment went up 5.4% would expect to

2318
01:31:23,679 --> 01:31:26,000
have a tax bill that was exactly that

2319
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:29,960
6.5 45% increase there are two factors

2320
01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:31,679
that influence the rate payers bill

2321
01:31:31,679 --> 01:31:34,600
that's assessment and tax rate um like I

2322
01:31:34,600 --> 01:31:36,800
said if their assessment increased in

2323
01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:38,400
line with inflation that's when you're

2324
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:40,600
going to see that exact

2325
01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:43,639
6.45% flipping back to this one if a

2326
01:31:43,639 --> 01:31:46,000
rate pairs assessment was lower than

2327
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:47,119
that

2328
01:31:47,119 --> 01:31:49,960
5.4% they would expect their tax bill to

2329
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:53,400
increase less than 6.45 in turn if their

2330
01:31:53,400 --> 01:31:56,000
assessment was up more than

2331
01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:58,400
5.4% they would expect to see a bill

2332
01:31:58,400 --> 01:32:01,239
higher than that 6.45% a lot of numbers

2333
01:32:01,239 --> 01:32:04,159
a lot of ins and outs but um trying to

2334
01:32:04,159 --> 01:32:06,440
have display it on the screen is is

2335
01:32:06,440 --> 01:32:09,080
transparent and easy for uh the folks at

2336
01:32:09,080 --> 01:32:10,719
home as well as everyone in the room to

2337
01:32:10,719 --> 01:32:12,440
understand is is a challenge and we're

2338
01:32:12,440 --> 01:32:14,800
we're this is why the information is

2339
01:32:14,800 --> 01:32:18,080
being presented as such tonight um as I

2340
01:32:18,080 --> 01:32:19,679
already mentioned the rate payer impact

2341
01:32:19,679 --> 01:32:23,000
from 23 to 24 on an average property or

2342
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:25,000
a property within average inflationary

2343
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:28,440
increase rather is 5.4% is approximately

2344
01:32:28,440 --> 01:32:31,560
$196 a

2345
01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:34,960
year uh a useful

2346
01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:38,679
uh practice to undertake on an annual

2347
01:32:38,679 --> 01:32:40,679
basis is benchmarking and looking at

2348
01:32:40,679 --> 01:32:42,679
where the city's rates compare uh

2349
01:32:42,679 --> 01:32:45,440
against Regional competitors um items to

2350
01:32:45,440 --> 01:32:47,400
consider looking at are residential tax

2351
01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:50,440
rate non-residential tax rate uh tax

2352
01:32:50,440 --> 01:32:52,360
ratios of different municipalities

2353
01:32:52,360 --> 01:32:54,320
assessment split and then year-over-year

2354
01:32:54,320 --> 01:32:56,639
change in assessment split um

2355
01:32:56,639 --> 01:32:58,760
Administration compiled information from

2356
01:32:58,760 --> 01:33:01,360
2023 on the from the municipalities on

2357
01:33:01,360 --> 01:33:04,520
the screen reason we use 2023 data is um

2358
01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:06,000
a lot of M Valle is are in the exact

2359
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:07,760
same process we are in right now and

2360
01:33:07,760 --> 01:33:10,159
that data is not available just yet for

2361
01:33:10,159 --> 01:33:13,840
2024 um so on the screen we're looking

2362
01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:16,719
at the residential rate of uh Regional

2363
01:33:16,719 --> 01:33:18,400
comparators for

2364
01:33:18,400 --> 01:33:20,560
2023 uh as you can see the city of

2365
01:33:20,560 --> 01:33:22,400
Bowmont sits approximately right in the

2366
01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:24,320
middle is actually the median I believe

2367
01:33:24,320 --> 01:33:27,760
of of the municipality selected um you

2368
01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:30,400
see there's there's a lot of reasons for

2369
01:33:30,400 --> 01:33:32,239
the variation in the rates you look at

2370
01:33:32,239 --> 01:33:33,440
the the bottom end of the screen you

2371
01:33:33,440 --> 01:33:35,840
have the counties that AO will have much

2372
01:33:35,840 --> 01:33:37,520
different situations than a than an

2373
01:33:37,520 --> 01:33:40,400
urban municipality a lot of Farmland

2374
01:33:40,400 --> 01:33:42,639
will impact their rates and then as we

2375
01:33:42,639 --> 01:33:44,239
look at the top of the screen we're

2376
01:33:44,239 --> 01:33:46,920
getting further away from the city uh uh

2377
01:33:46,920 --> 01:33:48,560
the city of medmont with the city of

2378
01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:49,960
Camrose and city of watas and they're

2379
01:33:49,960 --> 01:33:51,560
going to have different factors includ

2380
01:33:51,560 --> 01:33:53,480
their impact their rates including

2381
01:33:53,480 --> 01:33:56,679
things like uh the assessment value of

2382
01:33:56,679 --> 01:33:58,320
an average home in each of those cities

2383
01:33:58,320 --> 01:34:00,639
but um once again it's useful to

2384
01:34:00,639 --> 01:34:02,960
Benchmark against uh Regional

2385
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:04,920
competitors uh next up is

2386
01:34:04,920 --> 01:34:07,920
non-residential tax rates with the

2387
01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:10,239
municipality selected City bont sits

2388
01:34:10,239 --> 01:34:13,119
kind of in that lower third on uh

2389
01:34:13,119 --> 01:34:15,159
non-residential tax rates a big factor

2390
01:34:15,159 --> 01:34:16,560
on this is where each of the

2391
01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:19,480
municipalities set their res non-res

2392
01:34:19,480 --> 01:34:22,040
ratio um but as we can see on the screen

2393
01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:25,119
City with taskman City up Ed up in that

2394
01:34:25,119 --> 01:34:29,000
um 20 number 20 Mills as we we call it

2395
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:32,280
um City camro 13 City St Albert 12 and

2396
01:34:32,280 --> 01:34:35,159
then very comparable with town of Devon

2397
01:34:35,159 --> 01:34:37,679
city of luk and town of warville is

2398
01:34:37,679 --> 01:34:40,920
where the city of bowan RAR

2399
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:44,199
um next indicator is just where those uh

2400
01:34:44,199 --> 01:34:46,480
res non-res ratios are as you can see

2401
01:34:46,480 --> 01:34:48,520
the city Edmonton sets there is at at

2402
01:34:48,520 --> 01:34:51,000
almost three times their res rates L

2403
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:52,360
County sets there is at two and a

2404
01:34:52,360 --> 01:34:54,480
quarter Tasco looks like they have their

2405
01:34:54,480 --> 01:34:56,840
is exactly double and the City of wont

2406
01:34:56,840 --> 01:35:00,360
has Set uh within taxation policy at 1.4

2407
01:35:00,360 --> 01:35:05,040
it's been 1.4 for uh a number of

2408
01:35:05,040 --> 01:35:06,920
years uh next one is just

2409
01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:09,560
non-residential assessment uh is as

2410
01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:11,239
everyone in the room well know city bont

2411
01:35:11,239 --> 01:35:12,960
is is quite low on non-residential

2412
01:35:12,960 --> 01:35:16,119
assessments compared to um other

2413
01:35:16,119 --> 01:35:18,760
municipalities in the region um areas

2414
01:35:18,760 --> 01:35:21,280
like uh lud the county stona county lud

2415
01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:22,719
County are much much different

2416
01:35:22,719 --> 01:35:25,119
situations than uh the city of bont as

2417
01:35:25,119 --> 01:35:29,080
is Fort City of forts asasin um but all

2418
01:35:29,080 --> 01:35:31,199
of those factors contribute to where the

2419
01:35:31,199 --> 01:35:33,280
city's rates ultimately get set and the

2420
01:35:33,280 --> 01:35:35,159
budget that a council sets for for a

2421
01:35:35,159 --> 01:35:36,800
city of

2422
01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:39,199
Bowmont um lastly is just looking at the

2423
01:35:39,199 --> 01:35:43,080
fiveyear trend on assessment split um as

2424
01:35:43,080 --> 01:35:45,320
we not a whole lot of fluctuation in the

2425
01:35:45,320 --> 01:35:47,080
past five years between residential and

2426
01:35:47,080 --> 01:35:50,000
farmland vers non-res um it's not that

2427
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:51,560
non-residential assessment is not

2428
01:35:51,560 --> 01:35:54,440
growing in the city but residential uh

2429
01:35:54,440 --> 01:35:57,560
and uh assessment has seen substantial

2430
01:35:57,560 --> 01:35:59,840
growth and is slightly outpacing

2431
01:35:59,840 --> 01:36:01,480
non-residential assessment over the

2432
01:36:01,480 --> 01:36:03,040
fiveyear

2433
01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:06,040
term uh with that the approval of the

2434
01:36:06,040 --> 01:36:08,360
bylaw will allow the city to Levy uh

2435
01:36:08,360 --> 01:36:11,360
Municipal Taxes totaling 28

2436
01:36:11,360 --> 01:36:15,159
m322 100 um including Revenue attributed

2437
01:36:15,159 --> 01:36:18,760
to real property growth of 1,

2438
01:36:18,760 --> 01:36:24,520
2,6 263,000 sorry of numbers I rattled

2439
01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:27,119
off tonight um once again this includes

2440
01:36:27,119 --> 01:36:29,520
an estimate of 79,000 for manx

2441
01:36:29,520 --> 01:36:32,480
properties and an estimate of 12,600 for

2442
01:36:32,480 --> 01:36:34,159
supplemental taxes and

2443
01:36:34,159 --> 01:36:37,159
adjustment um with that uh a property

2444
01:36:37,159 --> 01:36:38,960
with an average inflationary increase

2445
01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:41,600
we'll see an increase of 6.45 on the

2446
01:36:41,600 --> 01:36:44,280
municipal portion of their tax notice

2447
01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:46,000
that concludes my presentation for this

2448
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:47,679
evening I'll turn it back over to

2449
01:36:47,679 --> 01:36:49,320
council and I'm happy to answer any

2450
01:36:49,320 --> 01:36:51,320
questions thank you thank Mr Blanco

2451
01:36:51,320 --> 01:36:52,960

2452
01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:54,320
going to proceed we are doing all three

2453
01:36:54,320 --> 01:36:55,800
readings this evening as you do every

2454
01:36:55,800 --> 01:36:56,840
year with this kind of this particular

2455
01:36:56,840 --> 01:36:58,920
Bogue at this time of year so at this

2456
01:36:58,920 --> 01:37:00,679
time I'll entertain clarifying questions

2457
01:37:00,679 --> 01:37:03,239
from Council at this point it's not the

2458
01:37:03,239 --> 01:37:05,239
point to entertain your opinions or

2459
01:37:05,239 --> 01:37:07,800
concerns or observations clarifying

2460
01:37:07,800 --> 01:37:09,920
questions first reading at second

2461
01:37:09,920 --> 01:37:11,480
reading that's the time to entertain any

2462
01:37:11,480 --> 01:37:12,880
concerns you have as a counselor

2463
01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:16,320
observations concerns um criticisms uh

2464
01:37:16,320 --> 01:37:18,239
endorsements of the policy that's for

2465
01:37:18,239 --> 01:37:20,400
second reading okay so right now I'll

2466
01:37:20,400 --> 01:37:21,920
entertain clarifying questions only

2467
01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:23,600
before I go to First reading councelor

2468
01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:26,239
Penrod you have the floor thanks May

2469
01:37:26,239 --> 01:37:28,480
Danel and appreciate uh your coaching on

2470
01:37:28,480 --> 01:37:32,800
the process there um so as a clarifying

2471
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:38,280
piece uh I'm looking at page two of the

2472
01:37:38,280 --> 01:37:40,320
council

2473
01:37:40,320 --> 01:37:43,000
report uh towards the bottom of the page

2474
01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:45,880
therefore uh so right after the

2475
01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:50,880
quote um given to illustrate Revenue

2476
01:37:50,880 --> 01:37:53,960
neutrality so this is not a

2477
01:37:53,960 --> 01:37:56,400
catch I gotcha I just actually caught

2478
01:37:56,400 --> 01:37:58,360
this myself so just for clarity for the

2479
01:37:58,360 --> 01:38:01,960
public record um I think this is a typo

2480
01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:04,719
it reads therefore the city does see

2481
01:38:04,719 --> 01:38:06,800
additional revenue from increased

2482
01:38:06,800 --> 01:38:09,239
housing prices your presentation made it

2483
01:38:09,239 --> 01:38:11,679
clear the city does not so that's just a

2484
01:38:11,679 --> 01:38:13,719
typo yes through the through the May to

2485
01:38:13,719 --> 01:38:15,639
council Penrod that would be a typo so

2486
01:38:15,639 --> 01:38:17,560
yes the city does not see any additional

2487
01:38:17,560 --> 01:38:19,760
revenue from from inflation on on

2488
01:38:19,760 --> 01:38:21,000
housing

2489
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:22,960
prices thank you counselor that's a

2490
01:38:22,960 --> 01:38:24,440
great catch didn't catch that myself

2491
01:38:24,440 --> 01:38:26,119
either when I read through it appreciate

2492
01:38:26,119 --> 01:38:28,320
that see no further questions for

2493
01:38:28,320 --> 01:38:30,280
clarifying purposes we can part of

2494
01:38:30,280 --> 01:38:31,880
debate in the second reading ask some

2495
01:38:31,880 --> 01:38:33,199
clarifying questions at that point if

2496
01:38:33,199 --> 01:38:35,000
something else comes to mind so with

2497
01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:36,960
that I'll close clarifying questions

2498
01:38:36,960 --> 01:38:40,199

2527
01:39:51,760 --> 01:39:53,960
just one question for clarification

2528
01:39:53,960 --> 01:39:56,080
to Mr deblanco there in terms of the

2529
01:39:56,080 --> 01:39:57,840
assessment split it's interesting to see

2530
01:39:57,840 --> 01:40:00,360
these numbers and and I can appreciate

2531
01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:01,960
how you kind of give a little more

2532
01:40:01,960 --> 01:40:04,480
clarity that because we're seeing more

2533
01:40:04,480 --> 01:40:06,239
significant growth on the residential

2534
01:40:06,239 --> 01:40:08,080
side it's negatively impacting our

2535
01:40:08,080 --> 01:40:09,599
non-residential

2536
01:40:09,599 --> 01:40:14,239
numbers um in terms of uh capacity and

2537
01:40:14,239 --> 01:40:17,440
and availability of of these businesses

2538
01:40:17,440 --> 01:40:19,560
are we trending to see a continuous

2539
01:40:19,560 --> 01:40:21,639
reduction based off of your knowledge in

2540
01:40:21,639 --> 01:40:23,560
terms of non-residential versus is

2541
01:40:23,560 --> 01:40:26,119
residential if we continue to grow at

2542
01:40:26,119 --> 01:40:33,189
the rate we are Mr Blan your mic is

2543
01:40:33,199 --> 01:40:35,639
on but thank you for the question and

2544
01:40:35,639 --> 01:40:37,560
and through the mayor to counselor and N

2545
01:40:37,560 --> 01:40:40,159
tell boss looking just at the past five

2546
01:40:40,159 --> 01:40:42,800
years and doing a a basic Trend analysis

2547
01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:45,119
what we do see is is residential growth

2548
01:40:45,119 --> 01:40:47,800
is outpacing non-residential um we see

2549
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:50,119
on on each of the years there is a a

2550
01:40:50,119 --> 01:40:53,360
very slight percentage Point tick in the

2551
01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:55,480
the opposite direction that is really

2552
01:40:55,480 --> 01:40:58,599
intended but um if there's any more

2553
01:40:58,599 --> 01:41:00,920
clarity on on non-residential growth

2554
01:41:00,920 --> 01:41:03,040
versus residential I mean colleagues in

2555
01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:04,480
in planning and development can can

2556
01:41:04,480 --> 01:41:06,679
speak to that but yes it's just looking

2557
01:41:06,679 --> 01:41:08,400
at the numbers alone on on the last

2558
01:41:08,400 --> 01:41:10,639
slide there's been a trend in the last

2559
01:41:10,639 --> 01:41:13,480
five years going the the direction where

2560
01:41:13,480 --> 01:41:16,239
uh non-residential percentage as it

2561
01:41:16,239 --> 01:41:18,040
makes up assessment is

2562
01:41:18,040 --> 01:41:20,360
reducing perfect thank you for that

2563
01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:22,360
response and then I I guess just for

2564
01:41:22,360 --> 01:41:25,599
myself more so Clarity for the public um

2565
01:41:25,599 --> 01:41:27,360
voting on this bylaw is obviously voting

2566
01:41:27,360 --> 01:41:30,119
on The the process and supporting how

2567
01:41:30,119 --> 01:41:31,560
the decisions were made in the numbers

2568
01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:33,719
that were put together um I just want to

2569
01:41:33,719 --> 01:41:36,080
make it clear my standpoint I I didn't

2570
01:41:36,080 --> 01:41:37,840
necessarily agree with all the increases

2571
01:41:37,840 --> 01:41:40,119
within the budget um but I do appreciate

2572
01:41:40,119 --> 01:41:41,719
the process and and everything that was

2573
01:41:41,719 --> 01:41:43,320
followed to get us to this point so I'm

2574
01:41:43,320 --> 01:41:45,719
not voting in favor of the increase but

2575
01:41:45,719 --> 01:41:48,760
I'm in voting in favor of the process

2576
01:41:48,760 --> 01:41:50,239
thank you counselor I do appreciate that

2577
01:41:50,239 --> 01:41:52,599
I think all of us at budget Workshop not

2578
01:41:52,599 --> 01:41:54,000
every single do we agree with

2579
01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:55,320
individually but you either pass the

2580
01:41:55,320 --> 01:41:57,040
budget or you don't and I appreciate

2581
01:41:57,040 --> 01:41:59,520
your comment on voting for the process

2582
01:41:59,520 --> 01:42:01,199
not necess the number itself and I do

2583
01:42:01,199 --> 01:42:02,960
appreciate that perspective we all of us

2584
01:42:02,960 --> 01:42:04,280
have to go through budget best we can

2585
01:42:04,280 --> 01:42:06,119
make our best decisions we possibly can

2586
01:42:06,119 --> 01:42:08,119
and I appreciate that uh any further

2587
01:42:08,119 --> 01:42:10,440
questions for members of Council on

2588
01:42:10,440 --> 01:42:12,320
second reading I have one question for

2589
01:42:12,320 --> 01:42:14,280
go to councelor penro if you don't mind

2590
01:42:14,280 --> 01:42:17,760
uh Mr Blanco the revenue neutral um

2591
01:42:17,760 --> 01:42:20,560
slide is extremely helpful um it does

2592
01:42:20,560 --> 01:42:22,480
help paint the picture of how things are

2593
01:42:22,480 --> 01:42:24,400
assessed and how the tax rate work it's

2594
01:42:24,400 --> 01:42:26,880
very very good work and I think um we

2595
01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:28,480
should maybe put that in a maybe a

2596
01:42:28,480 --> 01:42:31,400
newspaper article Mr bar I do new well

2597
01:42:31,400 --> 01:42:32,920
I'll talk about that a later time but

2598
01:42:32,920 --> 01:42:34,280
it's very very help it's very helpful

2599
01:42:34,280 --> 01:42:36,000
and clear understand how the process

2600
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:37,760
works that assessment goes up or down

2601
01:42:37,760 --> 01:42:39,800
and tax up or down it's confusing at

2602
01:42:39,800 --> 01:42:41,560
times and this is very very helpful and

2603
01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:42,800
it took some time to get that put

2604
01:42:42,800 --> 01:42:44,199
together I want to thank you for that on

2605
01:42:44,199 --> 01:42:46,280
behalf of council and our citizens Mr

2606
01:42:46,280 --> 01:42:47,719
Penrod you have the

2607
01:42:47,719 --> 01:42:51,280
floor thanks mayor uh just want to

2608
01:42:51,280 --> 01:42:54,280
continue on the along the line of giving

2609
01:42:54,280 --> 01:42:57,080
Kudos thank you for the excellent report

2610
01:42:57,080 --> 01:42:58,960
um and thank you for the work that's

2611
01:42:58,960 --> 01:43:03,560
going in to uh not just making sure our

2612
01:43:03,560 --> 01:43:06,159
financials are done the way they need to

2613
01:43:06,159 --> 01:43:08,360
be done but then taking that extra step

2614
01:43:08,360 --> 01:43:10,719
to make sure that we're communicating as

2615
01:43:10,719 --> 01:43:14,560
best we can to the public who isn't um

2616
01:43:14,560 --> 01:43:16,000
thinking about this stuff every single

2617
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:18,119
day kind of thing right sometimes we get

2618
01:43:18,119 --> 01:43:21,040
so familiar with the data or the the

2619
01:43:21,040 --> 01:43:24,239
terminology it can be difficult to

2620
01:43:24,239 --> 01:43:27,199
remember that uh not everybody speaks

2621
01:43:27,199 --> 01:43:29,400
Latin you know what is a Mill and things

2622
01:43:29,400 --> 01:43:31,239
like that so really appreciate the

2623
01:43:31,239 --> 01:43:33,000
effort that's gone into communicating

2624
01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:35,000
this will and I want to turn around too

2625
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:37,400
and thank the members of the public that

2626
01:43:37,400 --> 01:43:40,040
have taken an interest and dug into

2627
01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:42,159
these reports and reached out for extra

2628
01:43:42,159 --> 01:43:44,159
clarification I know reached to

2629
01:43:44,159 --> 01:43:46,400
Administration or reached to other

2630
01:43:46,400 --> 01:43:49,080
elected officials know that you're heard

2631
01:43:49,080 --> 01:43:52,440
and that we know that this is a um this

2632
01:43:52,440 --> 01:43:55,639
is an area we want to strive for

2633
01:43:55,639 --> 01:43:58,239
continual Improvement right in in all

2634
01:43:58,239 --> 01:44:01,000
all of our procedures and so thanks for

2635
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:03,800
administration for demonstrating that so

2636
01:44:03,800 --> 01:44:06,920
well and we'll continue to continue to

2637
01:44:06,920 --> 01:44:08,760
approve our processes and I know there's

2638
01:44:08,760 --> 01:44:12,320
some um tweaks to our budget Workshop

2639
01:44:12,320 --> 01:44:14,000
process and the way we do all of this

2640
01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:17,199
work based on your feedback again so I I

2641
01:44:17,199 --> 01:44:19,719
just want the public to hear that and

2642
01:44:19,719 --> 01:44:22,080
and I want to say um Mary you pointed

2643
01:44:22,080 --> 01:44:24,000
out the

2644
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:29,239
um the slide on Revenue neutrality I

2645
01:44:29,239 --> 01:44:32,920
actually I think page four the tax base

2646
01:44:32,920 --> 01:44:36,360
2023 versus 2024 I almost skipped over

2647
01:44:36,360 --> 01:44:38,400
that slide because it doesn't look too

2648
01:44:38,400 --> 01:44:40,320
busy I'm really glad that you took the

2649
01:44:40,320 --> 01:44:43,159
time to explain that and I would it

2650
01:44:43,159 --> 01:44:44,719
maybe that we could tweak that even more

2651
01:44:44,719 --> 01:44:47,360
so that because when you explained what

2652
01:44:47,360 --> 01:44:50,719
all is included in that slide um it

2653
01:44:50,719 --> 01:44:52,880
really brought some things clear that

2654
01:44:52,880 --> 01:44:54,679
are are sometimes tricky to understand

2655
01:44:54,679 --> 01:44:56,719
with with this process so thanks for

2656
01:44:56,719 --> 01:44:58,840
that and I I think that's an innovation

2657
01:44:58,840 --> 01:45:00,719
right like that's something that we put

2658
01:45:00,719 --> 01:45:03,520
together for this presentation uh yes

2659
01:45:03,520 --> 01:45:06,199
that's correct it was brought from for a

2660
01:45:06,199 --> 01:45:07,760
number of reasons just to bring uh

2661
01:45:07,760 --> 01:45:11,639
transparency as well as uh uh re-educate

2662
01:45:11,639 --> 01:45:13,920
Council on just our process to as well

2663
01:45:13,920 --> 01:45:16,000
as the public on on how the city of bont

2664
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:18,239
sets its tax rates yeah so I appreciate

2665
01:45:18,239 --> 01:45:20,440
that and I'd encourage anyone who finds

2666
01:45:20,440 --> 01:45:22,679
this process a little mysterious to

2667
01:45:22,679 --> 01:45:23,599
really

2668
01:45:23,599 --> 01:45:26,119
kind of go back and and review your part

2669
01:45:26,119 --> 01:45:28,480
your presentation specifically on that

2670
01:45:28,480 --> 01:45:30,000
infographic because I think there's a

2671
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:32,320
lot of helpful information there um last

2672
01:45:32,320 --> 01:45:33,920
thing I just wanted to say mayor thanks

2673
01:45:33,920 --> 01:45:36,960
for clarifying again it it is annually

2674
01:45:36,960 --> 01:45:39,679
our practice to pass this particular

2675
01:45:39,679 --> 01:45:42,159
bylaw for second and third reading in

2676
01:45:42,159 --> 01:45:43,560
one meeting just wondering if you could

2677
01:45:43,560 --> 01:45:47,320
give us some color on uh why that is um

2678
01:45:47,320 --> 01:45:48,840
I think what it comes down to is Mr

2679
01:45:48,840 --> 01:45:50,159
Blanco will enlighten me if I missed

2680
01:45:50,159 --> 01:45:51,360
something but I think it's more a matter

2681
01:45:51,360 --> 01:45:53,400
of timing um because we have to get the

2682
01:45:53,400 --> 01:45:55,040
assessment the notice is out in a in a

2683
01:45:55,040 --> 01:45:56,800
timely fashion to our residents and to

2684
01:45:56,800 --> 01:45:58,119
give Mr deblanco enough time to make

2685
01:45:58,119 --> 01:45:59,400
sure there's nothing else unforeseen

2686
01:45:59,400 --> 01:46:00,719
that pops up that could affect the

2687
01:46:00,719 --> 01:46:02,560
budget tax increase that's the Reader's

2688
01:46:02,560 --> 01:46:04,239
Digest version I probably missed a

2689
01:46:04,239 --> 01:46:05,599
couple of key points but that's why we

2690
01:46:05,599 --> 01:46:07,280
tend to do it in this last meeting in

2691
01:46:07,280 --> 01:46:08,960
April to have enough time get the

2692
01:46:08,960 --> 01:46:11,599
assessments out to residents for July 1

2693
01:46:11,599 --> 01:46:14,360
Mr Blanco did I miss anything sure I can

2694
01:46:14,360 --> 01:46:17,520
provide a a little bit more detail uh a

2695
01:46:17,520 --> 01:46:20,040
few reasons uh there there's a bit of an

2696
01:46:20,040 --> 01:46:22,199
order of operations that goes with the

2697
01:46:22,199 --> 01:46:23,440
timing of

2698
01:46:23,440 --> 01:46:26,280
uh the yearend process and the audit as

2699
01:46:26,280 --> 01:46:28,639
well as the budget amendment and and

2700
01:46:28,639 --> 01:46:33,080
setting of the tax rates um in past

2701
01:46:33,080 --> 01:46:35,760
years like let's say five six years ago

2702
01:46:35,760 --> 01:46:37,440
some of this these items were brought

2703
01:46:37,440 --> 01:46:39,480
all on the same day and in doing that

2704
01:46:39,480 --> 01:46:41,760
their their risks um you know

2705
01:46:41,760 --> 01:46:44,000
adjustments to the budget or changes

2706
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:46,040
stemming from the from the year end that

2707
01:46:46,040 --> 01:46:49,000
wouldn't get reflected um or have

2708
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:50,239
Administration wouldn't have the ability

2709
01:46:50,239 --> 01:46:52,000
to update the tax bylaw in a timely

2710
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:54,520
manner so the ideal order operations is

2711
01:46:54,520 --> 01:46:56,239
bringing the the financial statements

2712
01:46:56,239 --> 01:46:58,159
and the year end Surplus and any

2713
01:46:58,159 --> 01:47:00,360
reallocation now there was a a delay

2714
01:47:00,360 --> 01:47:02,679
with that um that was approved at at the

2715
01:47:02,679 --> 01:47:04,159
last council meeting but that will

2716
01:47:04,159 --> 01:47:06,880
brought in May but um with the budget

2717
01:47:06,880 --> 01:47:08,360
the budget needs to get passed first and

2718
01:47:08,360 --> 01:47:10,000
that's allows Administration then set

2719
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:12,360
rates there is another piece around the

2720
01:47:12,360 --> 01:47:15,520
annex properties we uh at the city bont

2721
01:47:15,520 --> 01:47:17,040
we do need to wait to see what liue

2722
01:47:17,040 --> 01:47:19,000
county sets their rates at because

2723
01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:21,800
although it's a non-material amount it

2724
01:47:21,800 --> 01:47:23,360
does allow us to set

2725
01:47:23,360 --> 01:47:25,760
uh basically to that six decimal point

2726
01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:28,119
what the city B mons rate in absence of

2727
01:47:28,119 --> 01:47:29,960
that we would be estimating and could

2728
01:47:29,960 --> 01:47:32,599
potentially be off uh some thousands of

2729
01:47:32,599 --> 01:47:34,360
dollars but there is there is a stage

2730
01:47:34,360 --> 01:47:36,040
there where we do need to wait for L

2731
01:47:36,040 --> 01:47:37,719
County to set their rates which they did

2732
01:47:37,719 --> 01:47:41,679
today thank you and am I correct in

2733
01:47:41,679 --> 01:47:43,560
saying that part of what we're waiting

2734
01:47:43,560 --> 01:47:45,639
on is not just luk County but also the

2735
01:47:45,639 --> 01:47:48,119
province to set the rates for the school

2736
01:47:48,119 --> 01:47:50,080
requisitions absolutely that would be

2737
01:47:50,080 --> 01:47:52,080
the other piece is is they don't act

2738
01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:53,719
they don't confir confirm them until a

2739
01:47:53,719 --> 01:47:55,000
little bit later they do give us

2740
01:47:55,000 --> 01:47:56,920
advanced notice of what the requisition

2741
01:47:56,920 --> 01:47:59,000
amounts will be as well as our equalized

2742
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:01,199
assessment but getting the actual final

2743
01:48:01,199 --> 01:48:03,360
confirmation comes a little bit later so

2744
01:48:03,360 --> 01:48:05,639
yes that's absolutely correct thank you

2745
01:48:05,639 --> 01:48:07,560
so just to summarize I think what I'm

2746
01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:09,760
learning in this process is that um

2747
01:48:09,760 --> 01:48:11,360
there's a lot of information coming from

2748
01:48:11,360 --> 01:48:14,320
many directions and the city's doing the

2749
01:48:14,320 --> 01:48:17,480
best we can to compile all that

2750
01:48:17,480 --> 01:48:21,000
information bring it to full public view

2751
01:48:21,000 --> 01:48:24,199
uh and then move down the road to

2752
01:48:24,199 --> 01:48:26,520
operations so that everybody can get

2753
01:48:26,520 --> 01:48:28,719
their notices in time and and pay their

2754
01:48:28,719 --> 01:48:31,440
tax bills on time exactly thanks mayor

2755
01:48:31,440 --> 01:48:32,599
thank you counselor appreciate that

2756
01:48:32,599 --> 01:48:35,080
thanks Mr Banco additional information

2757
01:48:35,080 --> 01:48:38,239
on the explanation uh seeing no further

2758
01:48:38,239 --> 01:48:40,040
comments for members of council we are

2759
01:48:40,040 --> 01:48:42,320
at second reading so with that Council

2760
01:48:42,320 --> 01:48:45,080
I'll ask you to vote on second reading

2761
01:48:45,080 --> 01:48:48,159
of the bylaw Council McCook how do you

2762
01:48:48,159 --> 01:48:51,320
vote in favor thank you councelor that

2763
01:48:51,320 --> 01:48:53,520
passes unanimously six nail

2764
01:48:53,520 --> 01:48:55,800
Council the next step is to ask for

2765
01:48:55,800 --> 01:48:57,760
consideration and a motion to move to

2766
01:48:57,760 --> 01:49:00,440
third reading if this is not passed

2767
01:49:00,440 --> 01:49:02,040
unanimously third reading is delayed on

2768
01:49:02,040 --> 01:49:04,800
the next council meeting which should

2769
01:49:04,800 --> 01:49:06,480
that happen it'll probably upset the

2770
01:49:06,480 --> 01:49:08,119
apple card a little bit in our procedure

2771
01:49:08,119 --> 01:49:09,840

2772
01:49:09,840 --> 01:49:11,320
I mentioned earlier is it is coming back

2773
01:49:11,320 --> 01:49:12,679
in one night but that's how we tend to

2774
01:49:12,679 --> 01:49:14,159
do it given all the factors that are

2775
01:49:14,159 --> 01:49:18,000
involved so with that I will move that

2776
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:20,760

2879
01:53:21,199 --> 01:53:22,719
Council

2880
01:53:22,719 --> 01:53:25,560
next we have an item on our agenda 8.3

2881
01:53:25,560 --> 01:53:28,880
bylaw 1053 d24 Community standards bylaw

2882
01:53:28,880 --> 01:53:31,800
Amendment first second and third reading

2883
01:53:31,800 --> 01:53:34,599
uh now we did not debate this earlier so

2884
01:53:34,599 --> 01:53:37,159
Madame clerk how do we proceed here um

2885
01:53:37,159 --> 01:53:39,159
Mr Mayor I can quickly introduce this

2886
01:53:39,159 --> 01:53:41,400
item and then Council can consider the

2887
01:53:41,400 --> 01:53:43,440
readings so this is just the

2888
01:53:43,440 --> 01:53:46,560
housekeeping amendment required for the

2889
01:53:46,560 --> 01:53:48,960
change the community standards bylaw in

2890
01:53:48,960 --> 01:53:53,000
alignment with the alcohol um in parks

2891
01:53:53,000 --> 01:53:55,719
so you'll recall that we did make a

2892
01:53:55,719 --> 01:53:57,840
expansion to that program so that we are

2893
01:53:57,840 --> 01:54:00,960
allowing alcohol in one additional Park

2894
01:54:00,960 --> 01:54:04,560
in the upcoming um summer season uh so

2895
01:54:04,560 --> 01:54:06,679
the change to the bylaw is really just

2896
01:54:06,679 --> 01:54:09,480
to allow alcohol to be consumed in

2897
01:54:09,480 --> 01:54:12,480
public in those designated alcohol sites

2898
01:54:12,480 --> 01:54:14,719
while we were making that Amendment we

2899
01:54:14,719 --> 01:54:17,079
also noticed a few typos that were

2900
01:54:17,079 --> 01:54:20,280
needing to be addressed so they are also

2901
01:54:20,280 --> 01:54:23,320
addressed in the amending bylaw and with

2902
01:54:23,320 --> 01:54:25,079
that Mr Mayor I'll turn it back to you

2903
01:54:25,079 --> 01:54:26,320

clarification Mr Mayor

2911
01:54:40,760 --> 01:54:43,920
um my understanding is the the expansion

2912
01:54:43,920 --> 01:54:46,480
of the program is it's all within the

2913
01:54:46,480 --> 01:54:49,159
contiguous Park Four Seasons Park but

2914
01:54:49,159 --> 01:54:51,520
now an additional area within four

2915
01:54:51,520 --> 01:54:52,880
seasons Park

01:55:12,079 --> 01:55:16,040
was the Jerry Petula RV Park area there

2924
01:55:16,040 --> 01:55:18,679
was a there was a section in the

2925
01:55:18,679 --> 01:55:20,960
previous in a different report where we

2926
01:55:20,960 --> 01:55:23,000
outlined the

2927
01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:26,119
areas in that Park and then around Don

2928
01:55:26,119 --> 01:55:28,840
Sparrow there's the two separate areas

2929
01:55:28,840 --> 01:55:31,719
that were considered and that the RV

2930
01:55:31,719 --> 01:55:33,320
park was the

2931
01:55:33,320 --> 01:55:37,079
expansion thank you and the areas will

2932
01:55:37,079 --> 01:55:39,480
be signed as

2933
01:55:39,480 --> 01:55:42,119
well okay CC pen that answer your

2934
01:55:42,119 --> 01:55:44,079
question thank you very

2935
01:55:44,079 --> 01:55:48,040
much Council tbus you have the floor

2936
01:55:48,040 --> 01:55:50,199
thank you mayor uh the only concern I

2937
01:55:50,199 --> 01:55:52,599
have it it was a concern that I I raised

2938
01:55:52,599 --> 01:55:54,360
initially in regards to this was the

2939
01:55:54,360 --> 01:55:56,639
type of containers within public parks

2940
01:55:56,639 --> 01:55:58,639
uh we have a lot of children playing

2941
01:55:58,639 --> 01:56:00,639
within these areas and I see that uh

2942
01:56:00,639 --> 01:56:03,159
we've decided against uh restricting the

2943
01:56:03,159 --> 01:56:05,239
type of containers so my concern is that

2944
01:56:05,239 --> 01:56:08,800
there's the potential for intoxication

2945
01:56:08,800 --> 01:56:10,840
uh which is one thing but broken glass

2946
01:56:10,840 --> 01:56:12,800
throughout our parks and and children in

2947
01:56:12,800 --> 01:56:14,520
and around there so I'm just curious as

2948
01:56:14,520 --> 01:56:17,960
to why it was recommended against uh

2949
01:56:17,960 --> 01:56:20,520
restricting types of containers that we

2950
01:56:20,520 --> 01:56:25,629
uh transporter consumer alcohol

2951
01:56:25,639 --> 01:56:29,040
oh coun or Madame clerk please thank you

2952
01:56:29,040 --> 01:56:31,560
uh through the mayor to councelor Nell

2953
01:56:31,560 --> 01:56:34,320
OSS we did look at that and try to find

2954
01:56:34,320 --> 01:56:36,400
some options there wasn't really a

2955
01:56:36,400 --> 01:56:39,119
viable option that was an easy amendment

2956
01:56:39,119 --> 01:56:41,320
to our community standards bylaw that

2957
01:56:41,320 --> 01:56:43,760
wouldn't then raise other questions

2958
01:56:43,760 --> 01:56:45,960
about what containers you could carry

2959
01:56:45,960 --> 01:56:49,199
other liquids in um so on the advice of

2960
01:56:49,199 --> 01:56:52,639
legal and in consultation with RCMP and

2961
01:56:52,639 --> 01:56:54,440
Municipal enforcement because there were

2962
01:56:54,440 --> 01:56:57,880
no incidents recorded we we are opting

2963
01:56:57,880 --> 01:57:01,000
not to we're recommending not to try and

2964
01:57:01,000 --> 01:57:03,480
capture that in the bylaw however this

2965
01:57:03,480 --> 01:57:07,480
is a very small um expansion of the

2966
01:57:07,480 --> 01:57:10,040
program so we feel that we can continue

2967
01:57:10,040 --> 01:57:12,360
to monitor for any issues that arise and

2968
01:57:12,360 --> 01:57:14,599
continue to make adjustments if that

2969
01:57:14,599 --> 01:57:16,880
were to become an issue we would need to

2970
01:57:16,880 --> 01:57:20,430
find a way to address it of

2971
01:57:20,440 --> 01:57:22,480
course perfect thank you sir just to

2972
01:57:22,480 --> 01:57:24,480
clarify procedurally if if this does

2973
01:57:24,480 --> 01:57:26,320
become an issue we'll come up with a

2974
01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:28,920
solution to prevent this from

2975
01:57:28,920 --> 01:57:32,119
reoccurring or occurring Madam clerk yes

2976
01:57:32,119 --> 01:57:33,960
thank you Mr Mayor through you to

2977
01:57:33,960 --> 01:57:35,800
counselor Nell and boss yes we want to

2978
01:57:35,800 --> 01:57:37,840
continue to re-evaluate the program

2979
01:57:37,840 --> 01:57:39,679
that's why we were really recommending a

2980
01:57:39,679 --> 01:57:42,119
very gradual growth rather than a more

2981
01:57:42,119 --> 01:57:44,159
significant expansion of the program to

2982
01:57:44,159 --> 01:57:47,320
all parks let's say which would probably

2983
01:57:47,320 --> 01:57:50,800
invite a lot of other unforeseen issues

2984
01:57:50,800 --> 01:57:53,000
so we just want to be cautious with how

2985
01:57:53,000 --> 01:57:55,800
we're expanding this program perfect

2986
01:57:55,800 --> 01:57:57,320
thank you Madame clerk I appreciate your

2987
01:57:57,320 --> 01:57:59,159
