00:00:14,380 --> 00:00:22,900
Good evening, Councillor staff, residents of line river in the press. It's Monday, August 10, 20, 26, and I call the council meeting to order.

00:00:23,540 --> 00:00:31,660

These concerts benefited the well and all of us who were lucky enough to hear the amazing

27
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:30,580

We hope you will reach our next summer for the concerts by the lake.

33
00:02:54,660 --> 00:02:58,740
Last month I attended the opening of the Ben Boquette Treatment Center.

34
00:02:58,740 --> 00:03:04,280
It was an incredible opening of a remarkable building housed on the shore of Lake Huron.

35
00:03:04,860 --> 00:03:08,540
Congratulations to everyone who made this great center possible.

old meetings are on the town's website under meetings.

46
00:03:54,940 --> 00:03:59,540
Now, turning to tonight's agenda with the acknowledgement the Councillor Postero is

47
00:03:59,540 --> 00:04:00,320
here,

48
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,080
and which brings us Councillor Postero to conflict of interest.

49
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:11,640
You have stated a conflict, can you explain a please?

50
00:04:19,850 --> 00:04:24,670
Thank you and I doubt that you leave the room when this comes up.

51
00:04:25,250 --> 00:04:28,550
Moving on to number five, the adoption of the previous minutes.

52
00:04:28,690 --> 00:04:30,810
Could I have a mover and a seconder please?

53
00:04:35,630 --> 00:04:38,510
Move by Councillor Jim Dunbar, seconded by Councillor Mido.

54
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,780
Sorry, lost my screen.

55
00:04:42,780 --> 00:04:53,160
There is all of the Council approved the minutes of the July 20, 20, 20, 26 meeting as presented and recall for a vote.

56
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,260
And the vote is carried.

57
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,240
There are no public presentations tonight.

58
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,640
So we'll move into the introduction and consideration of the administrative reports.

59
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,680
From administration, really ongoing projects update.

60
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,860
Are there any questions from Ms. Scott?

61
00:05:21,770 --> 00:05:22,630
Councillor Jim Dunbar?

62
00:05:22,630 --> 00:05:33,210
Thanks, man. I just had one and it was from the last meeting. I have it highlighted here. I'm just going through it here so I can bring it

63
00:05:37,820 --> 00:05:38,500
up open.

64
00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:59,360
So many yellow markings as we all know.

65
00:06:03,620 --> 00:06:05,940
Did we have any information?

66
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:17,750
And I might have missed it, Katie, for the, I won't, I won't, I won't my screen move for the

67
00:06:17,750 --> 00:06:21,450
tenders on the well rehabilitation.

68
00:06:22,390 --> 00:06:27,850
So there would be something that that mentioned that the last, last, last needy.

69
00:06:28,070 --> 00:06:31,030
But here's, is there any information on that?

70
00:06:31,030 --> 00:06:35,870
Through your management to you, Councillor Dunbar, we did receive one tender.

71
00:06:37,310 --> 00:06:40,750
There was no other vendors available for the work.

72
00:06:41,210 --> 00:06:44,410
The amount was $85,000 for the well-work.

73
00:06:45,090 --> 00:06:51,250
We are working with, so before we award the work, we've awarded the tender.

74
00:06:51,890 --> 00:06:52,910
It meets the qualifications.

75
00:06:53,130 --> 00:06:57,270
But before we set the date for the work, we're waiting to bring the water levels

76
00:06:57,270 --> 00:07:03,470
the tank up so that when we take the well offline, we're able to keep up with the demand.

77
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,900
Moved by Councillor Biddy and then by our second did by Councillor Mido. The result of that council received

78
00:07:35,900 --> 00:07:42,940
the report titled, I was told, hazardous waste day 2026, and that council direct staff to include

79
00:07:42,940 --> 00:07:50,420
funding in the 2027 budget for an annual household hazardous waste day beginning in 2027, subject

80
00:07:50,420 --> 00:07:56,760
to annual budget approval, and that council direct staff to negotiate a revised cost sharing model with

81
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,820
participating neighboring municipalities, and this is August 1st Nation, based on an equal

82
00:08:01,820 --> 00:08:07,660
distribution contribution story from each participating community towards the total cost

83
00:08:07,660 --> 00:08:08,420
of the program.

84
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,640
And that staff report back to Council on the proposed cost sharing agreement, estimated annual

85
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:20,920
program costs, and options to increase collection capacity, including the addition of a second

86
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:28,200
transport trailer as part of the 2020 7 budget deliberations. Any comments or concerns from council?

87
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:29,560
Councillor Whitlock?

88
00:08:30,180 --> 00:08:33,840
Thank you, my Higwin. I'm just in reading the report. It's nice to see that there was such a

89
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:39,240
turnout, a very big turnout apparently. And I'm just wondering because it was so popular, is there

90
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:44,280
the possibility of doing another hazardous waste day, but with a fee associated? I understand

91
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:49,340
that it's not on the budget to do it for free for citizens, but people may be willing to pay

92
00:08:49,340 --> 00:08:52,200
to get things from, remove from their homes.

93
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,680
Through your management to your council.

94
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,400
So, Whitlock, thank you for the question.

95
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,940
We have looked at other options in the past.

96
00:09:01,380 --> 00:09:05,020
There is a reduction that the municipality does receive back.

97
00:09:05,260 --> 00:09:07,380
So, once all of the waste goes to the facility,

98
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:08,700
they will do counts.

99
00:09:08,980 --> 00:09:11,720
And then we will receive the offsetting funds from those.

100
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,180
What we're trying to do is detour it from going to the landfill.

101
00:09:16,180 --> 00:09:21,820
And our fear was in the past that if we did charge for, let's say,

102
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,920
paint cans rather than bringing them to the household hazardous waste day,

103
00:09:26,180 --> 00:09:28,980
they would take them in a garbage bag to the landfill for free.

104
00:09:29,220 --> 00:09:34,560
So we're trying to find ways that we can ensure the longevity of our landfill,

105
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:38,200
as we know that that is such a huge cost to the municipality.

106
00:09:38,740 --> 00:09:42,480
And we want to ensure that we're showing the minister of environment,

107
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:48,440
all of the things that we are doing to be proactive to enhance the life cycle of our landfill.

108
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:56,040
We can certainly look at that, but it may be something that would be a deterrent from people bringing the waste if we're charging them a few.

109
00:09:58,060 --> 00:09:59,040
Councillor Posteria?

110
00:10:11,500 --> 00:10:12,400
Thank you, Mayor.

111
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:21,860
the House of Justice State. I'm just wondering if there's no way to create a deterrent

112
00:10:21,860 --> 00:10:29,220
what we need to implement some kind of checking residents' status act, the land fill, to

113
00:10:29,220 --> 00:10:34,540
ensure that the burden isn't being put on our tax base for people that don't want to be put

114
00:10:34,540 --> 00:10:34,800
on the river.

115
00:10:37,270 --> 00:10:43,770
So, through your management to you, Councillor Pussard, are you referring to the landfill of the household hazardous waste stay?

116
00:10:44,370 --> 00:11:00,970
It's very as simple, but we're on this, so the household hazardous waste, because I noticed that in the report it was talking about like quite a substantial jump for non-residents going from their contribution to like a $5,000 kind of fee, so that's a substantial jump.

117
00:11:00,970 --> 00:11:03,650
So if there was a municipality that wasn't willing,

118
00:11:03,790 --> 00:11:07,950
would there be an alternative way of re-couping those fees

119
00:11:07,950 --> 00:11:10,830
from non-residents, if they wished to participate,

120
00:11:11,170 --> 00:11:14,050
but their municipality wasn't willing to pitch

121
00:11:14,050 --> 00:11:16,070
in the amount that we're requesting.

122
00:11:17,850 --> 00:11:19,890
Thank you for the clarification with the question.

123
00:11:20,490 --> 00:11:23,630
That is something that we could look at for sure.

124
00:11:24,090 --> 00:11:27,450
I still believe that even that substantial increase

125
00:11:27,450 --> 00:11:30,370
to those municipalities, it's still a huge benefit

126
00:11:30,370 --> 00:11:35,190
for the work that the town of Linerver would be doing for those residents, rather than putting

127
00:11:35,190 --> 00:11:40,890
that burden that we currently have back to our ratepayers, when we know our neighbors are

128
00:11:40,890 --> 00:11:46,550
echoing that so talks rate is much less, but yet we're offering them these subsidized services.

129
00:11:47,590 --> 00:11:51,710
So bringing them more into the realm and taking that pressure and that burden off of the residents

130
00:11:51,710 --> 00:11:59,870
of Linerver, I think we go a long way for that event. We do check resident cards at the

131
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:04,030
they pull up to help solve hazardous waste day and we do track that, so we do have a tracking

132
00:12:04,030 --> 00:12:11,530
of who's bringing what and we do definitely have a large seasonal resident that does

133
00:12:11,530 --> 00:12:18,190
come, which is good to bring their materials from their cottages. We certainly want to promote

134
00:12:18,190 --> 00:12:23,870
that, but we ask we do check ideas when they come up. Councillor Jim Dunbar?

135
00:12:23,870 --> 00:12:26,190
Thank you very much.

136
00:12:26,730 --> 00:12:37,630
I'd be curious if we have implemented a check on who's doing who, and we have these

137
00:12:37,630 --> 00:12:45,270
neighbouring, the referred to as neighbouring municipalities and MFN, who are the other neighbouring

138
00:12:45,270 --> 00:12:47,930
municipalities that we may be talking about here.

139
00:12:47,930 --> 00:13:03,990
So, the neighboring municipalities is North Shore and here on Chores, and then Mississauga First Nation, and it depends on the year, the previous year that we had done it, we had a bigger show up of residents from Mississauga First Nation this year.

140
00:13:04,110 --> 00:13:10,890
We did not, so it would just depend on the year and what people have available to come.

141
00:13:10,890 --> 00:13:20,610
So, according to your report, I believe there was some disappointed people, maybe our

142
00:13:20,610 --> 00:13:27,750
ratepayers who were some of them, you know, saving up for two years and then not being

143
00:13:27,750 --> 00:13:31,330
able to expel their hazardous waste.

144
00:13:32,170 --> 00:13:40,190
So I'm glad that you brought this forward as you have written it here to look at about getting

145
00:13:40,190 --> 00:13:47,370
fair share between the municipalities and did you say you mentioned that there may be two trucks

146
00:13:47,370 --> 00:13:52,450
the next time? So, through you, Merregman, see you, Councilor Dunbar. That's correct. That would

147
00:13:52,450 --> 00:14:00,370
be something we would look at. Look at bringing a larger unit so that we can fill them up more.

148
00:14:00,750 --> 00:14:07,350
I was very happy to hear that we had so much material collected. Unfortunately, we had to close earlier

149
00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:13,990
than expected, but if we can accumulate that much waste out of the landfill, that's a win

150
00:14:13,990 --> 00:14:15,790
for the town of Winnerver.

151
00:14:16,490 --> 00:14:20,690
Well, I look forward to hearing how we make out with the other municipalities.

152
00:14:25,410 --> 00:14:28,290
At this time, I would ask Council to vote.

153
00:14:58,880 --> 00:14:59,740
And the vote is carried.

154
00:15:00,740 --> 00:15:12,900
From our director of facilities and community services, read the fishing, television, shoot, blind river, fall, area, and could I have a mover and a seconder on the motion please.

155
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:37,980
And this is moved by Deputy Mayor Samarro's seconded by Councillor Jim Dunbar, whereas the ten of line river prize itself on being an ideal location to stay play and live, and that blind river is committed to ensuring economic prosperity through regional, national and international.

156
00:15:37,980 --> 00:15:43,180
on marketing tactics. Therefore, we resolve the Council authorised administration to proceed

157
00:15:43,180 --> 00:15:49,040
with booking the new fly fishing fissure and that the blind river development corporation

158
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:55,820
be invoiced for the balance required after fundraising. And I'd ask if Ms. Bittner

159
00:15:55,820 --> 00:15:59,100
could come forward and give us an epitome of an overview on this.

160
00:15:59,380 --> 00:16:04,820
Sure, thank you. I mean, thanks, Council. This is very exciting. So, it's proof that when we adopt

161
00:16:04,820 --> 00:16:10,420
strategies that are put in place from the province, and in the following, he toolkit that

162
00:16:10,420 --> 00:16:16,380
does Canada and Ontario have in place. Good things will follow. So due to the wonderful

163
00:16:16,380 --> 00:16:21,440
trick that we had to economic development dragons, then implementation of the municipal accommodation

164
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:28,560
tax, as well as making sure we're participating in both provincial and economic wide tourism

165
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,320
projects that are put in, we'll be able to notice. So we reached out to and invited to participate

166
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:39,260
in this moment. And I was happy that it meant the time I brought me that I couldn't bring

167
00:16:39,260 --> 00:16:46,100
it to Council. Oh, this is so beautiful to be this forward. And what I'd like to share with the group

168
00:16:46,100 --> 00:16:51,820
as well as there is listening tonight is the focus of this episode is going to be on the importance

169
00:16:51,820 --> 00:16:57,900
of shoulder seasons in tourism. There's more Ontario, especially Northern Ontario and July and

170
00:16:57,900 --> 00:17:03,300
August. August all the way through to November, very lucrative seasons for people to come to

171
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,160
fish to play to enjoy festivals, food, you need it.

172
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,340
So, it's going to be sharing that market.

173
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,580
Also, in a very sensitive way,

174
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,280
going to be highlighting that northern Ontario is still open

175
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,080
for business despite the forest fire tragedies that are happening around us.

176
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,920
So, there's going to be a very sensitive theme where we talk about what has happened

177
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,040
to a forest, but also that there are spaces that are still open.

178
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,440
We want to encourage that economic activity in the corridor, as well as through the

179
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,760
where folks are not automatically canceling the reservations.

180
00:17:35,780 --> 00:17:39,800
By way of a false assumption that all of more than Ontario has experienced this tragedy.

181
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,420
So by highlighting up on rivers open for business and to see and then people continue to explore.

182
00:17:46,220 --> 00:17:51,400
The key message will be please reach out to your out-fair before automatically canceling your reservation.

183
00:17:52,340 --> 00:17:57,300
These are businesses ran by families that are relying on your revenues to stay afloat.

184
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,800
So please have this ongoing communication with them.

185
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,940
it's going to be very exciting. There's a lot of cool activities that are happening in the

186
00:18:04,940 --> 00:18:11,260
municipality that conveniently overlap with when the host and crew will be here. So I am very excited.

187
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:16,780
My no council will be too to show our lovely community during the end of September or October.

188
00:18:18,850 --> 00:18:23,250
Thank you very much for that. I just can't say I have any questions from Mr. Dittner on this wonderful

189
00:18:23,250 --> 00:18:23,890
opportunity.

190
00:18:26,070 --> 00:18:29,930
Hi, Councillor Whitlock. Thank you, Mayor Higwin. More just a comment. I was just reading

191
00:18:29,930 --> 00:18:34,970
section that says that we will have access to every digital asset that's created and I think

192
00:18:34,970 --> 00:18:39,630
that's great for marketing, tourism, and all of your social media work that is already great,

193
00:18:39,810 --> 00:18:42,710
but it will definitely enhance that. So that's definitely a plus.

194
00:18:45,100 --> 00:18:49,840
Very exciting news and more to come. At this time I would ask Council to vote

195
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:58,760
and vote is carriage.

196
00:18:59,420 --> 00:19:06,580
Thank you. There is no updates for the service delivery status and no presentations of the

197
00:19:06,580 --> 00:19:11,600
committee of the whole report because it is summer and there is no unfinished business.

198
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,980
We move on to correspondence requiring action.

199
00:19:15,580 --> 00:19:17,400
Item number 11 on our agenda.

200
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,500
The first one is from Hampson.

201
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,600
Read the Water Financial Plan.

202
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,160
And I'd ask for a move for in a second or please.

203
00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:35,580
And this is moved by Councillor Biddy and in the seconded by Councillor Postero.

204
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:41,440
Be it resolved that council except the Water Financial Plan as presented by Hampson.

205
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,800
Any questions on the report or information?

206
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:46,740
Councillor Jim Denby?

207
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:48,820
Thanks for argument.

208
00:19:50,140 --> 00:19:50,880
Quite the report.

209
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,380
Probably took most of my day reading through this all.

210
00:19:56,500 --> 00:20:02,500
And I'm happy to see that one spot there, which says, this is a living document,

211
00:20:03,460 --> 00:20:07,120
and it's expected to be reviewed again.

212
00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:20,880
I'm hoping that that will exist in the future to really look at this, to judge, I mean, we're

213
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:33,670
talking about a, I believe, a 7.5% increase in waters over the next 10 years and I'm glad

214
00:20:33,670 --> 00:20:39,490
that we have the opportunity to see if we'll need that next year or the year after.

215
00:20:41,190 --> 00:20:48,870
Something else though, maybe for Ms. Dent, I'm curious as to the vacant wats in town.

216
00:20:50,370 --> 00:20:56,470
We have established a by-law or a policy that people are paying for their water and sewer

217
00:20:56,470 --> 00:21:00,110
that is running past their houses.

218
00:21:00,110 --> 00:21:08,730
I'm curious to what is their minimum payment that these people would be paying?

219
00:21:10,740 --> 00:21:21,060
Team Mayor Heggling to Councilor Dunbar, so the vacant lot fee is the equivalent to the basic fee that every other resident pays for water and sewer.

220
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:23,440
Do you have a number?

221
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,880
Two seconds, yes.

222
00:21:27,740 --> 00:21:31,480
for something else, so let me just get to the right page.

223
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,020
Sorry, I want to page up here, so the buzzer don't show,

224
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,780
is 4877 per month.

225
00:21:54,580 --> 00:21:58,320
And then if it also has wastewater, it's 52% of that rate.

226
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,240
If it's, if they also are a little bit severe in the wastewater.

227
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,400
And one last question, if I may.

228
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:18,420
It says here as December 31st, 2025, the town had a outstanding, relieved debt, a certain

229
00:22:18,420 --> 00:22:18,980
amount.

230
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:25,640
I'm curious of that 1.5 million, is that just,

231
00:22:27,820 --> 00:22:29,980
that's not residential people not paid.

232
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:40,020
We don't believe that that is sort of so painful that the white treatment plant is still a blow for that after all the capital stuff.

233
00:22:40,340 --> 00:22:45,180
And there's what are the components in this world of components for the word I have project as well.

234
00:22:45,620 --> 00:22:47,780
Thank you. Councillor Plastrainer.

235
00:22:49,160 --> 00:23:14,240
And this report only emphasizes the importance of proper asset management planning, so we need to ensure that we are being consistent with lobbying for funding from all levels of performance and offer fair and equitable taxation, because if we don't put money towards these assets, and the bill is only going to be bigger down the road.

236
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:22,100
So, it is important that we do ensure that we are putting a fair touch rate to protect our assets,

237
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:28,100
because if we don't, then it could be catastrophic, as we can see with the water scarcity,

238
00:23:28,740 --> 00:23:32,760
right, then come on in and stuff that we need to protect and ensure that we're planning properly.

239
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,000
At this time, I would ask Council to vote on the motion.

240
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,080
And the motion is carried. Thank you.

241
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:56,680
11.2 from Mr. Horick Horick, where you trap Newson's beaver.

242
00:23:57,460 --> 00:23:59,860
We have a motion on the floor, and move her in a second, please.

243
00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:11,040
This is moved by Councillor Whitlock, seconded by Councillor Jim Dunbar, be a result of

244
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:17,520
that Council authorised Robin Horwath to trap beavers for 2026 to 2027, season from the

245
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,940
millcon to where the canal meets the Mississaugie River.

246
00:24:21,740 --> 00:24:23,120
There are any questions on this motion?

247
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,340
Seeing none, I will ask Council to vote

248
00:24:36,460 --> 00:24:37,800
and the vote is carried.

249
00:24:38,180 --> 00:24:39,060
Thank you.

250
00:24:39,460 --> 00:24:44,760
Moving on to number 12 correspondence for information purposes from Tullick, Martin Street,

251
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,100
rail crossing phase of the new water intake project pre-construction.

252
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:55,020
The ASAP board meeting minutes from May 7th.

253
00:24:55,040 --> 00:25:01,400
Any association of Ontario Road Supervisors Reconer Street, Coner St. Michael Association

254
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:02,240
RS.

255
00:25:03,710 --> 00:25:08,850
No notices of motion under introduction and consideration of bylaws.

256
00:25:09,590 --> 00:25:18,550
We have bylaw 26-54 to amend the garbage bylaw and waiting for motion to be put forward.

257
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,300
This is moved by Deputy Mayor Somer, seconded by Councillor Betty and Dunbar.

258
00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:37,880
Be it resolved that council authorized the mayor and CAO clerk design bylaw 26-54 being a bylaw

259
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:44,660
of the Corporation of the Town of Blind River to amend by 23-54 to regulate and provide for

260
00:25:44,660 --> 00:25:49,220
storage handling collection and disposal of waste and recyclable materials within the

261
00:25:49,220 --> 00:25:56,260
municipality of Blind River was passed in open council this 10th day of August 26. Any questions

262
00:25:56,260 --> 00:26:01,920
or concerns? Comments? Seeing none, I would ask council the vote

263
00:26:07,620 --> 00:26:09,200
and the vote is carried.

264
00:26:10,260 --> 00:26:18,600
by lower 26-55, the meaning by lower 21-67 school signage, and it is noted that Councillor

265
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,300
Posterio has left the room.

266
00:26:20,780 --> 00:26:22,540
Could I have a mover in a second, please?

267
00:26:36,690 --> 00:26:36,810
Sorry.

268
00:26:37,430 --> 00:26:40,050
My screen keeps jumping to the top every time.

269
00:26:40,430 --> 00:26:40,930
Oh, something.

270
00:26:41,690 --> 00:26:42,230
Yours too?

271
00:26:42,470 --> 00:26:43,110
Okay, good.

272
00:26:43,450 --> 00:26:44,550
I thought that would go on.

273
00:26:45,370 --> 00:26:45,670
All right.

274
00:26:45,890 --> 00:26:50,230
Well, this is moved by Councillor Jim Dunbarian, seconded by Deputy Mayor Summers, be a result

275
00:26:50,230 --> 00:26:57,090

277
00:27:03,750 --> 00:27:12,130

278
00:27:12,130 --> 00:27:12,970

is noted that Councillor Postero has rejoined the meeting.

281
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:39,400
There are no council reports or announcements, no addendums, and no closed session, so no

282
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:40,900
report on the closed session.

283
00:27:41,500 --> 00:27:44,520
So we're moving on to the confirming by law, could I have a move right in a second

284
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:45,100

285
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,860
And this is moved by Councilor Mido, seconded by Councilor Bedi and Dunbar, be it resolved

286
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:10,540
Council authorised the mayor of CAO clerk to sign by the 26-XX.

287
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:13,340
56.

288
00:28:14,620 --> 00:28:18,720

Should I have a move right in a second, please?

294
00:28:49,730 --> 00:28:51,290
And this is moved by Councillor Whitlock.

295
00:28:51,430 --> 00:28:53,130

299
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:15,400
Thanks, Eric.
