[17:41] hello good morning thank you and Mayor Brown is present

[17:44] all eleven members of present Mr Mayor we're now on

[17:47] item to approve the agenda does any member wish to

[17:50] add a business item to today's meeting

[17:53] if so please user chat function at adding to the

[17:57] speakers list

[17:59] in

[18:00] in the clerk is keeping the chart listings we don't

[18:03] have a chat list ...

[18:05] councillor Willhans

[18:08] thank you through you Mayor I'm wondering if it would

[18:10] be and then those of council that we can bring

[18:13] forward the ...

[18:14] reconsideration motion regarding the four thirteen ... my reasoning behind

[18:19] it is in light of the current amount spent by

[18:22] the provincial government to move forward with the meeting before

[18:25] with a series of waters which I wish and

[18:29] so we can bring that forward and then

[18:31] I understand there's no debate about it it's just a

[18:33] simple ... talk to reconsider it last Peter that time

[18:37] to start with that we ask for a recorded vote

[18:39] on that and then if it passes Peter perhaps you

[18:42] can explain briefly on the procedure bylaws the next steps

[18:45] with regards to the reconsideration of the passes or doesn't

[18:47] pass

[18:49] so the first step would be reconsideration ... to the

[18:52] court we do that right now

[18:54] through through you Mr Mayor I I suggest we complete

[18:56] the approval of the agenda and then if this council

[18:58] will answer suggesting bring it forward I guess the suggestion

[19:01] is where bring forward immediately after approve the agenda that

[19:04] that could be considered

[19:06] so after the approval of the agenda motion carries ...

[19:09] then we can deal with whether it has emissions yes

[19:12] okay

[19:13] okay are there any other additions to the agenda or

[19:16] doing cancer Dhillon

[19:21] so I'd like to add a

[19:24] in camera item

[19:28]

[19:29] I don't know if you have the therefore if you

[19:31] Peter I think ... legal was also ... working on

[19:36] this

[19:37] through you Mr Mayor ... yes so if I understand

[19:40] there's a land use matter ... that would be identified

[19:43] as proposed item nineteen point twelve ... proposed by cancer

[19:46] Dillon open session meeting exception under section two thirty nine

[19:49] to Ian after the municipal act litigation potential litigation including

[19:52] matters before administrative tribunals affecting the municipality or local board

[19:56] and advice that is subject to solicitor client privilege including

[19:59] communications necessary for that purpose

[20:06] councillor Medeiros

[20:10] I can't meters

[20:15] thank you Mr mayor of that city clerk election request

[20:18] ... that change of order regarding the in camera items

[20:22] ... I believe ... so the nineteen point nine in

[20:27] nineteen point and if we can reverse the order the

[20:31] rather deal with nineteen point ten before nineteen point ninety

[20:36] through you Mr Mayor that's noted for a part of

[20:39] the approval of the agenda motion certainly

[20:41] thank you

[20:42] cancer Fortini cancer Fortini

[20:46] yes thank you Mr Mayor but Peter I did send

[20:49] the request and are both ... one was in camera

[20:52] bottle cap catwalk Storebrand and the other one was about

[20:56] the Brampton you and I'll see on the agenda

[20:59] I did talk to legal

[21:01] ... he was some confusion or maybe she can we

[21:05] just added to the next council meeting

[21:07] since the age of this whole

[21:10] so through you Mr Mayor there's there's two options the

[21:12] the process and it's going to number members for filing

[21:15] new business at a city council meeting for which the

[21:17] city council meeting is a notice of motion in accordance

[21:20] with the procedure bylaw ... and if that does not

[21:23] occur in that has to be filed by Tuesday at

[21:25] four thirty the week preceding the meeting if that does

[21:28] not occur and as we've experienced members of council are

[21:31] or welcome to propose new business as is occurring now

[21:34] and it is subject to council approval by two thirds

[21:36] vote so you there's two options councillor you can proposed

[21:40] to add new business now ... subject to the two

[21:42] thirds vote or you can ... ... proposed to add

[21:46] it the new business to the February ninth ... council

[21:49] meeting which is the next meeting is the agendas close

[21:51] for the next Wednesday's committee of council meeting ... by

[21:55] a notice of motion that would have to be filed

[21:56] by next Tuesday at four thirty

[21:59] yeah and that I'm fine without them I did spend

[22:02] everything get on the way before so that's where the

[22:04] confusion is that I did talk to legal so everything

[22:06] was all of the procedures so since it was already

[22:09] done I just wanna make sure it's on the to

[22:11] the next agenda for February ninth so through you Mr

[22:14] Merrill work with your office council because we will require

[22:16] if you wish to go to the February ninth city

[22:19] council meeting it will require a notice of motion to

[22:21] be properly filed so there is something on the agenda

[22:23] for members to have notice of of what the item

[22:25] is about but I can work with your office on

[22:27] that

[22:29] okay well I I thought I did send that and

[22:30] that's all they will set them that's fine I'll send

[22:33] another one thank you

[22:37] councillor question cancer plushie

[22:41] thank you Mr Mayor so I'm having a little bit

[22:43] of difficulty supporting any additions to the agenda and I

[22:47] think cancer Fortini for ... removing the application that he

[22:52] feels he will give properly put in place to the

[22:55] next council meeting ...

[22:58] I think additions that this council has has normally done

[23:03] has been done in the past can maybe not so

[23:07] much as council which gratified

[23:10] and since ... you Mr Mayor through through you to

[23:15] cancer Dillon I don't know anything about your in camera

[23:18] added item ... if if if stop prosecutors added I

[23:23] would have liked to have heard back and yet since

[23:26] I didn't hear that I can't support adding an addition

[23:30] specifically in camera to council if there's an opportunity to

[23:35] add it I would support that community if that was

[23:38] an opportunity but if it's time sensitive maybe you can

[23:41] elaborate or if ... and email can be sent out

[23:45] by staff or something to the effect ... but Intel

[23:48] then I I just can't support in addition specifically to

[23:52] in camera

[23:55] thank you Mr Mayor

[23:56] embarrassed by Mr misspelled to doing yes

[24:00] yes ... it staff staff is asking for this is

[24:02] time sensitive as well

[24:08] to to cancer Palleschi

[24:13] thank you councillor Dhillon Mr Mayor tree you can I

[24:16] get a staff response please

[24:21] Megyn Singh I can speak to this yes

[24:26] this is ... through the chair this is a land

[24:29] use planning matter which ...

[24:32] it is the subject of litigation and there is a

[24:35] development that happened on this matter ... very very recently

[24:41] as in within the last couple of days ... and

[24:45] this is something which I think will benefit council to

[24:48] consider it will give direction to staff and how to

[24:50] proceed on this matter

[24:53] and and and as I said it is ... it

[24:57] this development just occurred and ... it is very time

[25:00] sensitive and the decision has to be made ... very

[25:03] quickly

[25:10] I think is ridiculous I don't think Mr

[25:14] okay

[25:17] councillor or something councillor some

[25:23] thank you very much Mayor I've just asked council's indulgence

[25:28] ... with regards to a briefing notes that was sent

[25:35] the Rogers relocation ... Mr Clark is it possible for

[25:39] us to include that

[25:46] record

[25:48] through you Mr Mayor yes it is possible and if

[25:50] you're proposing to add that briefing note it would be

[25:52] added under the planning ... and economic development section as

[25:56] item ten point four point one and subject to it

[25:59] being approved it will be included in the revised agenda

[26:01] will be published later this morning

[26:03] thank

[26:07] okay so Mr Mayor that looks like a concludes one

[26:54] minister zoning order there are three delegations that are included

[27:00] fourth delegation from Sylvia Roberts so that would be a

[27:03] force delegation just a note for item seven point four

[27:11] the approval of the agenda is subject to the following

[27:15] any forward noticeable reconsideration notice of motion fifteen point one

[51:34] incident and as we toured the the masjid and they

[51:38] were still reminisce of bold

[51:42] marks in damage to ... that masjid and the reason

[51:48] for the green square campaign is the floor at that

[51:55] even though it was soaked in blood that day

[52:01] the fact is something that can happen our country's just

[52:03] horrified that people could be killed based on their faith

[53:46] we thank regional council Rowena Santos from moving this motion

[53:49] and mayor Patrick Brown for seconding the motion the sad

[53:53] truth is everyone that after the Quebec City mosque attack

[53:56] five years ago on January twenty ninth twenty seventeen violent

[53:59] attacks on Muslims did not stop in fact more Muslims

[54:03] have been killed in targeted hate attacks in Canada and

[54:06] any other G. seven country in the past five to

[54:08] six years because of Islamophobia

[54:12] this fact is in the air outside of London was

[54:13] a monster just a few months ago on June eighth

[54:16] twenty twenty one when thousands of Londoners and Canadians Nelson

[54:20] Mandelson gathered in the aftermath of the terror attack that

[54:23] took the lives of four members of the canvassing community

[54:26] in a shocking act of Islamophobic violence thousands of people

[54:31] had gathered that day came together to express their solidarity

[54:35] rate understated gather to stand together as representatives of the

[54:40] London most a mosque called for more than words from

[54:42] the politicians in attendance

[54:45] politicians from across Canada then made statements condemning Islamophobia and

[54:49] calling to action to date we recognize that the City

[54:53] of Brampton led by Mayor Patrick Brown and all of

[54:55] council here at taken historic strides forward in addressing Islamophobia

[55:00] from being the first major city in Canada to endorse

[55:03] all of the NCC Ms municipal recommendations to address the

[55:06] formal phobia that came out of the national summit in

[55:08] response to the London attack you're calling on mayors of

[55:12] big cities and to stand up for human rights and

[55:15] religious freedom by supporting the legal challenge to build twenty

[55:19] one in Quebec

[55:20] two appointing we need to share this Canada's First most

[55:23] some woman as its integrity commissioner to today's proclamations regarding

[55:31] the national day of remembrance of the Quebec City mosque

[55:34] attack and action against Islamophobia in light of this leadership

[55:37] mayor and council and in light of regional council arena

[55:40] Santos is a leadership role on the FCM new equity

[55:42] anti racism task force established in twenty twenty one we

[55:46] feel that at the city of Brampton is the ideal

[55:49] member of the federation of Canadian municipalities to bring forward

[55:52] a resolution to address Islamophobia if this resolution is carried

[55:56] by the FCM it will encourage municipal governments across Canada

[56:00] to follow Brampton's example it takes specific action to address

[56:04] Islamophobia thank you for your consideration

[56:10] after the delegation if anyone else has questions are welcome

[56:13] to add their name to the chat box councillor Santos

[56:18] thank you so much thank you ... is one for

[56:20] coming to to delegate and for your work in advocating

[56:24] for ... the motion today and that I will ask

[56:28] that meeting also bring forward for consideration at this time

[56:32] ... you know when not in twenty nineteen when we

[56:36] were at FCM and in things are really timely right

[56:40] now because it is the anniversary of that tragic incident

[56:44] ... councillor resenting myself the mayor councillor Gillian ... we

[56:48] went to visit the combustion at in income back in

[56:54] the impact on me at that time especially children FCM

[56:57] conference ... was quite was quite shocking ... the the

[57:03] the bullets in the wall at the masjid were still

[57:05] there ... and we saw it and we saw how

[57:08] deeply impacted the community what and so that the timing

[57:13] on bringing this motion before work and having Brampton out

[57:17] bring it forward I'm I'm really honored to do so

[57:20] as a board member FCM and also as co chair

[57:23] of the anti racism an equity committee I will share

[57:27] that I've spoken to a number of members across the

[57:30] country FCM and there is a lot of support for

[57:34] this certainly the anti racism and equity committee ... is

[57:38] also in support of this and so I encourage ...

[57:42] ... members of council to to show their support as

[57:45] we advocate on behalf of the country ... on anti

[57:49] Islamophobia so thank you very much for this one and

[57:52] ... when the time comes I will ask for a

[57:54] recorded vote

[57:58] okay I don't see any other speakers to this ...

[58:01] but I would just add my own comment that Brampton

[58:05] is a mosaic of other faiths I in an attack

[58:10] on any one faith is an attack on all of

[58:12] us we stand together in our Brampton family you know

[58:16] many people have

[58:18] to come to Canada because they've left lands where they're

[58:21] persecuted based on their faith

[58:24] part of

[58:26] part of the design of Canada the dream of Canada

[58:29] is that inclusive country that is an example for others

[58:33] that beacon of freedom is that we do have religious

[58:36] freedom

[58:37] and we can't ignore the fact that we have seen

[58:40] acts of violence and hate against Muslim Canadians that are

[58:43] despicable abhorrent and against our core values as a country

[58:47] that protects people's ability to proper practice their faith

[58:51] as I've said many times the

[58:53] part of duty of candour doesn't matter who you love

[58:55] where you're born the color of your skin what god

[58:57] you worship that everyone has equal opportunities in this country

[59:00] with drive and determination

[59:04] and what we've seen in London

[59:06] in Quebec City and is re and more recently in

[59:09] Edmonton

[59:12] are a step backwards in terms of our efforts to

[59:15] build that inclusive and nation and so if FCM can

[59:19] be part of the conversation

[59:22] trying to protect

[59:24] the right to worship in peace free from intimidation and

[59:29] violence then we should use every tool we can't

[59:32] because Brampton is a country where multi Brampton is a

[59:36] city for multi culturalism works Brampton is a city that

[59:39] is a mosaic of faith we're proud of our neighbors

[59:42] of divergent backgrounds and so I think it's perfectly appropriate

[59:45] for us to continue to stand up for religious freedom

[59:48] and I commend councillor Santos for leading the charge on

[59:52] this at FCM my I imagine you'll find a lot

[59:55] of support at the FCM board ... for this and

[59:58] may I suggest councillor Santos that we have all of

[1:00:01] council second your motion

[1:00:04] thank you Mayor Brown I've read that definitely support that

[1:00:07] and I would also ask that we make sure that

[1:00:10] this was forwarded to you the FCM ... as as

[1:00:14] soon as if it passes thank you

[1:00:23] okay

[1:00:25] a recorded vote

[1:00:27] two three somewhere perhaps we should just take a vote

[1:00:29] first on to receive the delegation and then we can

[1:00:31] proceed with the notice moto I don't mean recordable Chrissy

[1:00:33] the delegation ... anyone opposed to receiving the delegation

[1:00:38] hearing none they're delegations received now recorded vote on the

[1:00:41] motion

[1:01:41] 73 is that correct

[1:01:44] Williams parkway noise wall public art we have

[1:01:49] this item was referred from last week's committee of Council

[1:01:51] as we had technical issues plain to video delegation submitted

[1:01:54] today we have two video delegations plus the third delegation

[1:01:57] from John could result I'll ask the court to play

[1:01:59] the video delegations first

[1:02:05] video delegations and then a delegation from John countries all

[1:02:08] of ... so we're gonna play the first video delegation

[1:02:16] so how many rooms parkway and the infamous noise wall

[1:02:19] was behind

[1:02:21] it's not pretty and the people who travel on this

[1:02:25] major arterial roads like myself have to look at this

[1:02:29] store every single day

[1:02:31] I think there's an opportunity here though there's an opportunity

[1:02:34] to turn this into something beautiful

[1:02:39] the Brampton arts and culture scene for a while

[1:02:42] they started an organization dedicated to impose our city

[1:02:47] make enough to pay the Brampton 24 is incessant

[1:02:56] to serve their aspirations

[1:02:58] vibrant music city a city that Brampton deserves to be

[1:03:03] his aspirations there is public arts

[1:03:07] international plan

[1:03:09] the face in our city's history details

[1:03:22] good understands that public or the Senate to investigate just

[1:03:26] as there is no mention for its inclusion of city

[1:03:29] example of the value for public art witnesses in Brampton

[1:03:33] spattered apartment station which has a beautiful

[1:03:39] it provides relief to the building and character to the

[1:03:43] neighborhood

[1:03:44] and same thing that I can something similar can happen

[1:03:48] to this man

[1:03:50] now

[1:03:51] is the benefit of

[1:03:53] there is talk about this is fantastic

[1:03:57] this public accessible to anyone and everyone regardless of race

[1:04:02] gender socioeconomic status ability

[1:04:06] it gives us an opportunity

[1:04:09] to celebrate ourselves the senator said history is one of

[1:04:13] the youngest and most diverse cities in the country this

[1:04:17] has a deep history which bedrooms passing by this is

[1:04:22] an opportunity to share that story

[1:04:26] good projects SO give us an opportunity for civic engagements

[1:04:30] this is going to get there so the opinions and

[1:04:32] thoughts about what they want in a piece of art

[1:04:35] that's supposed to represent them

[1:04:39] it is a city that they matter

[1:04:42] that we care about them

[1:04:44] opportunities to stay at home and to stay in the

[1:04:47] city instead of having to leave the city to pursue

[1:04:49] their artistic career aspirations S. where every communities have benefited

[1:04:54] from Branson Otis more than Brampton

[1:04:58] I went renting compared to other cities has been wonderful

[1:05:04] arts is behind

[1:05:06] as it currently stands Brampton minimally provides funding the public

[1:05:11] on an ad hoc basis

[1:05:13] the culture master plan details where is that transaction sustainable

[1:05:17] finance public art

[1:05:19] after activating section thirty seven which means that as the

[1:05:22] city grows so this is the

[1:05:25] to stick with

[1:05:27] we have to be on the same page about this

[1:05:30] because even on the same page about something like this

[1:05:33] on the same page for the future of our city

[1:05:35] with respect to the aspirations in the Brampton twenty

[1:05:39] in the kitchen master plan

[1:05:41] not on the same page about this that means that

[1:05:45] those efforts in those two documents I'm going to waste

[1:05:50] I'm excited about the possibility the public and the small

[1:05:54] community is excited about public up in this world disincentives

[1:05:58] seven a public open as well and I would city

[1:06:00] council SO excited about public art on this

[1:06:09] through you Mr mayor members of council we have a

[1:06:10] second video delegation from Lisa Stokes and we're just going

[1:06:14] to get that ready to play right now

[1:06:28] good morning I'm Lisa Stokes and I would like to

[1:06:31] see Brampton promote and support public art

[1:06:35] imagined Williams parkway with a noise wall painted like this

[1:06:39] small on finch Avenue in Toronto

[1:06:55] public heard can be used to beautify and make our

[1:06:58] under passes more inviting

[1:07:02] imagine to be a role like this on Queen Street

[1:07:05] by the four corners library branch

[1:07:12] or like this on main street by the bus terminal

[1:07:28] public art can also be used to share our history

[1:07:31] like these murals in Islington Village Thorold colbern and Milverton

[1:07:41] Brampton has done something like this in BBM lane in

[1:07:44] downtown Brampton

[1:07:59] public art can also be used to beautify otherwise ugly

[1:08:02] places like parking lots as seen in these pictures in

[1:08:06] Toronto and Kitchener

[1:08:11] we've done that with our George street parking lot in

[1:08:14] downtown Brampton

[1:08:22] municipalities can create a sense of place in locations that

[1:08:26] the public might otherwise feel unsafe in and avoid

[1:08:31] these pictures are under palace park in Toronto

[1:08:37] Brampton could connect artists with businesses who are interested in

[1:08:41] doing creative advertising

[1:08:58] ... can be used to create beauty on walls that

[1:09:01] are otherwise boring around slightly

[1:09:05] as seen in these pictures Singh Goderich G. and on

[1:09:08] Manitoulin island

[1:09:17] or can be used on transit systems to make underpasses

[1:09:21] feel more inviting

[1:09:24] we have so many places along our trail system where

[1:09:27] we could create art like this

[1:09:34] public art can be used to add color and whimsy

[1:09:37] an otherwise drab places

[1:09:53] it can be used to beautify roads and calm traffic

[1:10:00] imagine painting the Truman street bridge like this

[1:10:09] look at how Brampton transforms this disused highway bridge into

[1:10:14] a beautiful piece of active transportation infrastructure

[1:10:27] let's get artists and the city of Brampton together to

[1:10:31] make Brampton beautiful place using public art

[1:10:41] ... mayor Brown members of council are third delegations from

[1:10:44] John countries all and artist we do see somebody in

[1:10:48] the attendee list identified only as John we're just gonna

[1:10:50] meet that person just verify the first John catches ola

[1:10:53] ... John is that you

[1:10:56] yes okay good good morning ... we're just gonna bring

[1:10:58] you into the meeting as a panelist and then you

[1:11:01] can proceed now you have up to five minutes to

[1:11:03] address council

[1:11:05] well the first of all good morning everyone this time

[1:11:09] to shine in Brampton and I

[1:11:11] but I'm hoping that is the needs of that that

[1:11:15] we are in a life that and that ... we

[1:11:18] are up the side of a great year I had

[1:11:21] a great innovation thinking and our city

[1:11:25] I'm here on my behalf of behalf of boundary thirty

[1:11:28] five and under happen your Brampton as well ... I'm

[1:11:32] here because that they be speaker before I did it

[1:11:36] for me the said to better well ... our city

[1:11:40] needs attention in a big way ... we need to

[1:11:45] change our direction on how we think about art and

[1:11:48] who you know will parkway is an example it's unfortunate

[1:11:52] that it is a structure that is better residents it

[1:11:56] should not happen it should not be that way but

[1:11:59] it is and it's a disgrace and not only because

[1:12:02] it is a disgrace in its design there's a disgrace

[1:12:05] because it's so recent we should not have done that

[1:12:10] yes we learning ... need some money to fix it

[1:12:13] but we have to fix it because while the under

[1:12:17] possum page featured justifiable was there for a hundred years

[1:12:22] there's a justification because that's where with that the times

[1:12:27] but that's what you're like that that is just being

[1:12:30] done in the last three or four years it is

[1:12:32] an investment to the city it is that's why I

[1:12:35] put priority on that one because it's a different situation

[1:12:39] is a situation that we should not hot however we

[1:12:43] do need to do what it needed to do to

[1:12:45] fix that because that is the most embarrassing situation that

[1:12:50] we created ... how could be done are you would

[1:12:55] expect when you know not disagreeing with an artist with

[1:12:58] the knowledge of the city building at the city needs

[1:13:03] to put together a bit landscape our rules of separate

[1:13:09] parts and a book arts everywhere in the city what

[1:13:13] I hope with that we achieve this morning ... it's

[1:13:17] one the bigger issue and that is that the we

[1:13:20] played you to put a considerable and I would budgets

[1:13:27] ... to find it the arts in our city either

[1:13:31] we

[1:13:32] or we die

[1:13:35] arts and culture is an element of life in every

[1:13:38] city where the eighth largest city in the country we

[1:13:42] have to do our part

[1:13:45] to keep ourselves above the criticism ... the negative image

[1:13:50] I do appreciate a way investment in our city considerable

[1:13:54] investment registered investment she and and ... investments that is

[1:14:00] designed for ... it should be quite cities over Westminster

[1:14:05] goes through first class cities those are the choices we

[1:14:08] can have a lot of nonprofit the house line up

[1:14:11] our city we don't have a lot of the of

[1:14:14] the the people come and take advantage of putting a

[1:14:18] structures in our city as we did for the last

[1:14:20] forty years and care less about what this city is

[1:14:24] gonna look like twenty years from now I spent my

[1:14:27] four years of raising this issue what is that we

[1:14:31] want to be in twenty years from now

[1:14:35] and I'll tell you that art

[1:14:38] any culture beautification is such an integral part of its

[1:14:43] successful city do not treated as a luxury it's not

[1:14:47] a luxury it's a necessity that you need to address

[1:14:52] so your children or anybody who own a house anybody

[1:14:56] who lives in the city needs prestige

[1:15:00] the product and we need to keep the children here

[1:15:04] not because of the level they need to through the

[1:15:07] wall somewhere else but because they choose to be here

[1:15:11] and because the professionals the best in the world choose

[1:15:14] to build a career in our city not to goal

[1:15:18] I do not been accepted any other ...

[1:15:25] if you're in a country

[1:15:28]

[1:15:32] did they say I'm I'm next if it's six months

[1:15:35] ago to be eighty years old and I spend my

[1:15:38] last fifty

[1:15:40] saying the same thing this is not for me but

[1:15:44] for you and your children

[1:15:46] something about and start with fixing this wall to make

[1:15:51] it a problem US all right and yes we can

[1:15:55] fix our problems and let's do it thank you very

[1:15:58] much

[1:16:01] thank you John and Mister Merrett council that concludes the

[1:16:03] delegations on this item so we have a lengthy list

[1:16:06] of speakers I have cancer Santos followed by council for

[1:16:09] TV then cancer Williams plushie are Madeiros and St so

[1:16:15] councillor Santos your first

[1:16:19] thank you so much and through you Mr chairman I

[1:16:23] just wanna say thank you to John which was the

[1:16:26] lead to Vijay ... as well as to the same

[1:16:29] person meeting their delegations I am the council representative for

[1:16:35] SCN Arts in in Brampton and that when I saw

[1:16:40] this particular project come up it was that I thought

[1:16:44] is a huge opportunity to really advocate and push for

[1:16:48] support for public art in our city and I have

[1:16:51] some questions for staff staff in that regards ... but

[1:16:54] first I just want to congratulate the community were at

[1:16:58] such a high level of engagement on the survey ...

[1:17:01] that what is that brought forward and I know that

[1:17:04] there was that you know that that the votes were

[1:17:07] tight but the reality is that the popular vote on

[1:17:10] this survey was for public art and into artists in

[1:17:15] the city and its you those those kids in the

[1:17:18] city who quite frankly you know we spend hundreds of

[1:17:21] millions of dollars on sports and sports ... I had

[1:17:26] a parent who said to me ... you know read

[1:17:29] when I go around the CDA see baseball diamonds and

[1:17:33] sports fields and cricket fields but my son is not

[1:17:37] interested in sports my son is interested in the arts

[1:17:41] and and this project on Williams parkway is an opportunity

[1:17:45] to cultivate and inspire young people across the city I'm

[1:17:50] an artist across the city public art in courts matters

[1:17:55] to the city of Brampton and that and so I

[1:17:58] have ... at eight o'clock from time the struggle and

[1:18:01] I do have questions for the delegate as well but

[1:18:04] struggle was beaten your artist you depend on your at

[1:18:08] Brampton fire station twenty eleven and she wanted me to

[1:18:12] share this court with everybody because you can join us

[1:18:14] today she said we're starting to see more public art

[1:18:17] on buildings road

[1:18:18] it's construction hoarding and the value it brings to a

[1:18:21] community art does not just paint a pretty picture it

[1:18:25] also captures an audience creates discussion and stimulate imagination and

[1:18:30] we know that from the activity on social media from

[1:18:33] all the artists and residents with respect to the articles

[1:18:36] that came out on this matter as well as disturbing

[1:18:39] comments Brighton that they've been neighbourhoods imagery tells a story

[1:18:42] and stories engage people to each other all ages and

[1:18:47] colors if you look at the social media posts the

[1:18:49] majority of them say that this wall is I believe

[1:18:52] and we need to do something and we have an

[1:18:53] opportunity to really change that we've got going walk into

[1:18:57] a master piece of art that brings people together and

[1:19:01] creates a sense of belonging I'm gonna ask a quick

[1:19:05] quick question to staff at the moment because there's a

[1:19:08] lot of conversation right now about finding

[1:19:11] and and I guess that through you Mr chair connect

[1:19:14] is it because I'm going to ask questions to staff

[1:19:16] can also bring the report forward as well so we

[1:19:19] can discuss it in conjunction

[1:19:24] I'll take that as a yes

[1:19:27] so the question to staff and is that ... you

[1:19:31] know why is it that opportunities like the Brampton fire

[1:19:35] station and the and the Williams parkway wall why is

[1:19:39] it that it's such a good opportunity in terms of

[1:19:43] public art do we even have a budget to support

[1:19:47] public art at this time and that question I guess

[1:19:49] is to Kelly

[1:19:55] the morning through the chair thank you for your question

[1:19:57] councillor Santos right now the public our program at the

[1:20:00] city does not have an annual operating budget so we've

[1:20:03] been really lucky to have successful partnerships with Brampton fire

[1:20:07] with our integrated downtown and team to do recent temporary

[1:20:12] public art projects ... it's important for us to have

[1:20:15] partnerships with operating departments across the city that have capital

[1:20:19] budget and are interested in making investments in arts and

[1:20:23] culture it helps to amplify the minutes that we've made

[1:20:26] in the culture master plan ... by partnering with these

[1:20:29] departments and and being able to find these projects that

[1:20:33] we wouldn't otherwise be able to do

[1:20:36] the TV so so that Williams parkway wall itself ...

[1:20:41] the money is already allocated in budget is that correct

[1:20:46] as part of the capital project of the wall

[1:20:50] through the chair I believe public works would have to

[1:20:53] confirm that that is my understanding

[1:20:55] okay great through the chair it sucked him because like

[1:20:58] acting Director of capital works and I want to confirm

[1:21:01] yes we do have three hundred thousand it was included

[1:21:03] in the budget to accommodate the artwork on the wall

[1:21:08] okay thank you and so ... this is not a

[1:21:10] budget amendment but as her what staff have responded to

[1:21:15] we do not have any budget specifically for public art

[1:21:19] and I've been bringing up this point now for a

[1:21:21] few months related to asking various departments to please consider

[1:21:26] integrating public are into your capital projects because we don't

[1:21:29] have a budget for public art yet and so the

[1:21:32] Williams parkway wall and threatening that entire conversation and now

[1:21:36] through this survey and popular support and on going ...

[1:21:40] buzz around it is an opportunity to do just that

[1:21:44] ... I'm going to ask a question to delegate John

[1:21:48] country so a lot ... how do you feel about

[1:21:52] it as an artist and and and you're quite frankly

[1:21:55] many of your buildings all of your buildings are work

[1:21:58] of art as well how do you feel about the

[1:22:01] opportunity to have public art ... tell a story about

[1:22:07] Brampton's ... on on on the Williams parkway wall what

[1:22:11] are you thinking about it

[1:22:16] then

[1:22:18] yes we can

[1:22:24] yes it to me

[1:22:27] as a as an artist

[1:22:30] and as a building because it is confusing my life

[1:22:33] is a little bit confusing I don't know how to

[1:22:34] identify myself one or the other ... I work as

[1:22:38] an artist or my life or whatever I do it

[1:22:40] is the building what is it ... is ... ...

[1:22:44] reserve ... this speaking I always talk about arts and

[1:22:50] even portion of arts in building the city ... D.

[1:22:56] I think that I always raise it was ... we

[1:23:00] have the models of cities ... in Europe for example

[1:23:04] that they don't have also all Wales they don't have

[1:23:07] the gold mines they don't have a what do they

[1:23:10] have is that what the artist in the last two

[1:23:12] thousand years ago last to them

[1:23:15] and that's a good way the economy of the end

[1:23:17] user ... Rome or Paris or that's those city leave

[1:23:22] off we cannot ignore the effect us arts and culture

[1:23:28] in the success will city please I don't know I

[1:23:31] will I'm gonna do I did before or ... my

[1:23:35] entire life ... I continue to do and and may

[1:23:39] sound that I preach but it is something that I

[1:23:42] deeply feel for our city how did you get to

[1:23:46] myself does it make my kids leave here they didn't

[1:23:48] go anywhere ... it's hard to keep them here trust

[1:23:52] me and unless we put our head in the sand

[1:23:55] and not listen to our kids they wanna leave because

[1:24:00] there is a ... something about them not selling proud

[1:24:04] of their city we must address that because of that

[1:24:10] US seems simple and they're not enough but is it

[1:24:14] is so deeply connected with the economy of the city

[1:24:18] of the future we need to do everything that we

[1:24:22] can

[1:24:24] and now emerging culture to give them encouragement that we

[1:24:28] are changing our city and our we're changing our thinking

[1:24:32] I was thinking is that we are the eighth largest

[1:24:35] city in this country let's rise to that level let's

[1:24:41] let's don't treated this thinks other effort in all just

[1:24:44] just it's just something we can do without we can't

[1:24:47] do without the citizens of Brampton they want

[1:24:51] this will be done trust to be leaving here I

[1:24:56] think two people follow and then appreciate what I said

[1:25:00] what I did in my fifty years here ... if

[1:25:04] there is a necessity and necessity bigger than you think

[1:25:08] we're losing billions of dollars in our own bodies why

[1:25:13] should somebody else be bragging about the price in their

[1:25:16] house in Markham is the higher the Brampton or Mississauga

[1:25:19] Brampton and it's it's it all and they should Mike

[1:25:22] you've done because you know ... brown to us only

[1:25:26] as Brampton let's let's change this for the sake of

[1:25:30] our children and we've got to start with this we

[1:25:32] go to start with saying look what we have where

[1:25:35] will you have we have a parks that brown is

[1:25:39] lucky we have with the basic needs here we have

[1:25:42] a open field we have parks we have been supporting

[1:25:46] infrastructures would we don't have a certain culture and and

[1:25:51] the beautification of our city but it's a necessary special

[1:25:54] into downtown downtown is not mine is not yours it's

[1:26:00] seven hundred and fifty thousand people that live in this

[1:26:02] city they need to their front room this is their

[1:26:06] place where they brag about about the city the downtown

[1:26:11] needs to be kept as it as the most important

[1:26:14] parts of our city it did not turn because love

[1:26:18] I have that I can show you every option on

[1:26:20] on on on the ... Google where they call it

[1:26:26] colors downtown as a lamb I have to sleep overnight

[1:26:30] because I spend forty years but the downtown meant and

[1:26:33] now I feel that they call it's a slam

[1:26:36] please

[1:26:40] we don't thank you so much down in the chair

[1:26:43] and my beach you councillors you've been ... you know

[1:26:46] you know many of us we all know who you

[1:26:48] are and speaking on behalf of that new Brampton as

[1:26:51] well and you know what what would your advice be

[1:26:55] or what would your feedback and comments beats you two

[1:26:58] councillors into folks who are wanting ... option one or

[1:27:03] to leave the noise wall as it is and not

[1:27:07] what you need

[1:27:08] they will need to be fixed that for the reason

[1:27:11] I said before is because it's an example of modern

[1:27:15] thinking Brampton could not look back this has to be

[1:27:19] fixed because we should have done better and I don't

[1:27:22] want more people to see it this is about is

[1:27:25] let's fix it before the world uses an example of

[1:27:29] what not to do but let's fix it it's not

[1:27:32] just public art he told the two sides I went

[1:27:35] up and down with his bike ways three times yesterday

[1:27:38] to convince myself of what what could be done I

[1:27:41] couldn't I couldn't I have some experience in and ...

[1:27:45] dated of those things I can I can help with

[1:27:48] the ideas but it is a combination of public arts

[1:27:51] in new commercial landscaping specific the trees that they have

[1:27:55] a foster growth and covered the same needs in some

[1:27:58] parts a little bit of changing the color of the

[1:28:01] top panel of the the top of the miles of

[1:28:06] of things so ... less let's say get together with

[1:28:11] somebody to discuss it we can we can fix that

[1:28:14] and we need to fix and not because

[1:28:16] you know it's just the R. two just it's needs

[1:28:19] to be fixed to fix our image would be under

[1:28:23] because under the under the railroad the downtown Brampton on

[1:28:27] Queen Street is it's a shame it's a shame that

[1:28:31] all those years we can't we can't not we can

[1:28:34] not even put some pants a little on those walls

[1:28:37] the underpass we need to fix those things in order

[1:28:42] to fix ourselves to think

[1:28:45] thank you so much time and that I have a

[1:28:47] couple of questions now to you to staff because don

[1:28:51] brought up a couple of really good points ... one

[1:28:54] was about comparing at you know cities around the world

[1:28:58] who don't have ... you know colder don't have ...

[1:29:02] natural resources per se but what they do have like

[1:29:05] in in in Rome or is is art and ending

[1:29:10] vested in art and and people come and visit them

[1:29:12] because of the art and so question to Kelly and

[1:29:15] just a reminder for folks in addition to the fact

[1:29:18] that we have no public art budget at the city

[1:29:20] of Brampton and these capital works projects ... opportunity to

[1:29:24] actually find public art but compared to other municipalities where

[1:29:28] it is the city stand when it comes to funding

[1:29:31] arts and culture

[1:29:36] through the chair following the approval of the culture master

[1:29:40] plan in twenty eighteen staff were directed to look at

[1:29:44] the capital investment per capita

[1:29:47] close your investment in twenty nineteen which came in at

[1:29:50] sixteen dollars and fifty eight cents per capita

[1:29:54] when compared to relatives municipalities the average was twenty four

[1:29:58] dollars once I thought about not ridge of seven dollars

[1:30:01] hello and in twenty nineteen looking at the investments that

[1:30:05] were made in twenty seventeen to twenty eighteen

[1:30:09] thank you so much Kelly and this is why when

[1:30:12] opportunities like this or the fire station or more integrated

[1:30:16] approaches to putting a public art and incorporating an artist

[1:30:21] who live in Brampton as part of what the city

[1:30:24] does is so important until we actually fix that formula

[1:30:28] because we are trying our very best to push and

[1:30:31] catch up now my next question is now to I

[1:30:34] guess make parks and future public works ... the delegates

[1:30:38] at Mr John could just a lack that talked about

[1:30:41] urban landscaping and that you know planning for urban landscaping

[1:30:46] and trees and I understand that there will be an

[1:30:49] update to council coming in the future about you know

[1:30:53] locations for where that urban landscaping and trees might be

[1:30:56] located around the wall could you provide some comment on

[1:30:59] that just for John

[1:31:03] thank you hello Sir good morning through the chair ...

[1:31:06] yes as part of the ... ... the road ...

[1:31:10] project ... there are there will be ... urban landscaping

[1:31:14] changes there will be additions for ... active transportation they'll

[1:31:18] be ... ... more amenity spaces identified through that through

[1:31:23] that project ... for the entirely length of the project

[1:31:27] which will ... definitely ... enhance of the art project

[1:31:32] ... that is being proposed as part of this report

[1:31:38] thank you very much make any and I realize I'm

[1:31:41] you know there this has brought about tremendous engagement from

[1:31:46] the community I know that the residents in wards one

[1:31:50] in five those who are taking their the left along

[1:31:53] the wall want to see something happen I know that

[1:31:56] they were furious when it started to get installed in

[1:32:00] in early twenty nineteen they were some of the first

[1:32:02] complaints that council Vincenti and I caught when we first

[1:32:06] got elected on to on to council ... and while

[1:32:10] it was a decision that was made in the previous

[1:32:12] term we do have an opportunity to to to change

[1:32:17] that decision and to create something beautiful as her what

[1:32:21] the delegates have here today that being said I would

[1:32:25] ... like to take into consideration that there will be

[1:32:28] an update related to urban landscaping and trees ... there

[1:32:33] is any indication it right now on on what should

[1:32:36] be on those walls it's that kind of artist reach

[1:32:39] out to proceed a as well as myself directly with

[1:32:43] various ideas Karens have reached out ... and so what

[1:32:47] I think would be the most a measured approach and

[1:32:50] I know I've spoken to cancer Williams about this as

[1:32:53] well ... and perhaps that she might be wanting to

[1:32:58] second that this motion but I would like to refer

[1:33:02] the report to staff

[1:33:05] and in that referred to staff ... I'm wondering if

[1:33:08] you could please report back to council with more current

[1:33:12] with the plan related to the five kilometer stretch that

[1:33:16] identifies locations of urban landscape as for what might parks

[1:33:20] has described but also locations and themes related to public

[1:33:26] art and timelines for implementation so that's a referral back

[1:33:31] to staff to report back to council with the plan

[1:33:35] for the five kilometer stretch that identifies locations for urban

[1:33:39] landscape and that public art and potential themes and timeline

[1:33:45] for implementation and that's my refer a motion ... thank

[1:33:49] you very much

[1:33:54] okay

[1:33:56] so there is the referral motion and now we're speaking

[1:33:58] refer a motion next up on the list is

[1:34:02] 14 councillor Fortini

[1:34:05] thank you Mr Mayor ... ... speaking to the referral

[1:34:09] also suggest the same thing ... who are going through

[1:34:12] she said well you know that and ... you know

[1:34:15] this is something that the old archer told jurors really

[1:34:18] ... an engine driver also and I do agree on

[1:34:21] that

[1:34:23] just to talk to Kelly we have a budget for

[1:34:25] the arts in the past

[1:34:31] through the chair

[1:34:33] ... Fortini are you specifically asking about a budget for

[1:34:36] public ... yeah we had one in the past

[1:34:40] we've had to ... budgets that have been assigned specifically

[1:34:44] to project based budgets capital project based budgets but we

[1:34:47] have not to my knowledge had an annual operating budget

[1:34:51] to support public art yeah so my question is why

[1:34:55] we ... talk about this the our budget to bring

[1:34:58] the budget for the arts and culture

[1:35:01] there was never mentioned so my other thing is I

[1:35:04] don't want to the walls and look at our you

[1:35:07] know my efforts to stop this you know when these

[1:35:10] walls are being put up

[1:35:12] and we had all these complaints we got a close

[1:35:14] up look at the time just like we stop William

[1:35:17] parkway but we carried on nobody complained about

[1:35:21] the other thing is when we do these arts are

[1:35:23] we doing the whole wall we're just going certain areas

[1:35:26] like parks are Jenna yes one is on the line

[1:35:34] through the chair it said Tim because lack speaking with

[1:35:37] the urban art we were looking at approximately three kilometers

[1:35:41] of the total five kilometer length of wall focused mainly

[1:35:44] around intersections in areas where we can't put landscaping in

[1:35:48] for some of the street aways are areas where there

[1:35:50] are additional space will be putting additional landscaping which will

[1:35:54] buffer the existing wall but we want to focus at

[1:35:57] the intersections and areas we can't put landscaping

[1:36:01] yeah and so you know we started off with residents

[1:36:04] complaining on the way that they like this color on

[1:36:07] the wall we got it arcs ... I do support

[1:36:11] our artists and I do believe that you know we

[1:36:14] have these bridges and other areas these are but you

[1:36:17] know ... one of W. think Lisa Shelby's like structures

[1:36:21] and they're great but if you go on to wrongful

[1:36:23] Wilson Avenue between Cuban doctors a bridge there beautiful thank

[1:36:28] our goal Lawrence before California another one rather needing college

[1:36:32] and my worry is but when they did these things

[1:36:35] your amazing now you will partner it's also pretty paper

[1:36:38] the kids kids are kids and we're gonna be going

[1:36:41] around maintenance excellent I do believe these bridges or stop

[1:36:45] should be ... we want to do it remember we

[1:36:48] should we should address the budget for the art in

[1:36:52] the last two years we never talk about the arts

[1:36:55] and bring a bunch of the site and when this

[1:36:57] role came up with the color was good the way

[1:36:59] we stop William parkway we go stop the color we

[1:37:03] came up with different panels up when we talk about

[1:37:07] it all right so you know we servicing your community

[1:37:11] and myself and council Charmaine Williams we heard a lot

[1:37:15] of seniors complain enough to spend the money on those

[1:37:17] walls do the arts somewhere else this thing somewhere else

[1:37:20] and we've been getting a lot of calls if you

[1:37:23] look at the actually the pulls up it's kind of

[1:37:26] tight so it's kind of hard to say yes or

[1:37:28] no are you know to support but I believe this

[1:37:31] or anything to do with our children to budget we

[1:37:34] always put money struggle for the arts in the past

[1:37:37] I know what about it was a lot of money

[1:37:39] for him and this is what you hear we can

[1:37:40] even talk about arts whatsoever you know really shocking thank

[1:37:44] you all these washer but stop them when they start

[1:37:47] when choosing one up because falcons I'm going to talk

[1:37:50] about so I'd like to report back and ... see

[1:37:53] what certain areas in Brampton like the bridge and off

[1:37:55] we want to do thank you for the support the

[1:37:57] arts I will support to continue spending more money on

[1:38:00] the walls are when we got the ball to the

[1:38:03] looks like St Wilson and a lot of people in

[1:38:06] my area single spend the money and a lot of

[1:38:08] seniors are saying that we can support more seniors and

[1:38:11] other areas are there COVID now it's very very hard

[1:38:15] to spend money just on these walls there even though

[1:38:18] there are different colour my area we stopped at noon

[1:38:21] there is the walls

[1:38:23] so we'll so there are police they have these walls

[1:38:25] were supposed to be for some areas so I cannot

[1:38:28] support the wall part but I will support bring a

[1:38:31] report back for the arts people offering where the bridges

[1:38:34] are another reason Brampton ... I I will support that

[1:38:38] I'm not supporting the walls so thank you

[1:38:43] councillor canceling this

[1:38:46] thank you through you Mayor ... thank you to all

[1:38:49] the delegations ... John it's always great to hear you

[1:38:52] speak passionately about our city and ... I agree with

[1:38:56] many of their sentiments ... I do have some questions

[1:39:00] ... to staff ... about the report I'm

[1:39:05] when when you did the survey did the survey inform

[1:39:09] residents of the cost to put on the wall

[1:39:16] through the chair it's such in close like I don't

[1:39:18] believe the costs were indicated as part of the survey

[1:39:22] it was more looking at the different options to to

[1:39:25] look at how with a work commute the work to

[1:39:27] be done

[1:39:28] okay so residents don't actually know ... what we have

[1:39:32] that could be allocated how much that would cost the

[1:39:36] cost of hiring a ... arms like the organization to

[1:39:41] ... consult and help us decide which artists and and

[1:39:45] how they are going to put on the wall so

[1:39:47] they actually don't know the cost of this art so

[1:39:52] N. and I hear now that it's five Columbus that

[1:39:56] are being proposed for the wall that would be painted

[1:40:00] how long is the wall

[1:40:02] how many kilometers is that

[1:40:04] through the chair the actual laws five point five kilometers

[1:40:07] an

[1:40:07] thanks and we're looking at putting the urban art in

[1:40:10] approximately three kilometers of the wall focus mainly on areas

[1:40:15] where it's closer to intersections where people would be moving

[1:40:18] slower or there's limited area for landscaping for approximately two

[1:40:22] and a half kilometers we anticipate there'll be sufficient landscaping

[1:40:26] to blend the wall in in those areas and focusing

[1:40:29] more on the areas where landscaping isn't possible

[1:40:33] he still three kilometers up the wall ... with ...

[1:40:38] and we are proposing three hundred thousand or three commenters

[1:40:43] is that correct

[1:40:45] yes that's a based on the estimate working with the

[1:40:47] arts group

[1:40:48] and we can tailor that a little bit pending on

[1:40:51] how the prices commend we can shorten a little bit

[1:40:53] or extend a little bit too

[1:40:56] so one hundred thousand per kilometer okay so I am

[1:41:01] you know I I love the concept of art I

[1:41:04] love art I'm a whole I'm a huge supporter of

[1:41:07] art I'm I'm just curious about this blog do we

[1:41:10] have any other won't like this with this type of

[1:41:14] ... that surface or anything do we have any other

[1:41:17] world with the coloring the staining do you have any

[1:41:20] other one the city for us to know what this

[1:41:23] will look like in another five years do we have

[1:41:26] a benchmark

[1:41:29] through the chair there are other noise walls in the

[1:41:31] city that are done with the similar material ... navy

[1:41:34] aged quite well ... I don't have an exact

[1:41:38] location I can send you some of them after and

[1:41:40] if you want to take a look but they've age

[1:41:42] well and haven't deteriorated too much talking to the supplier

[1:41:46] the color of the wall will fade over time so

[1:41:49] the current light blue will lighten up a little bit

[1:41:51] ... or other work that needs need to be touched

[1:41:54] up typically in about fifteen year time period mmhm okay

[1:41:58] seeing so can you and is it possible to go

[1:42:01] to that live in the report that says ... the

[1:42:05] breakdown of how people voted

[1:42:08] through you Mr Mayor will bring up the report from

[1:42:11] a terribly

[1:42:16] is that is that a councillor yeah that's it that's

[1:42:19] it so

[1:42:21] you thank you Charlotte and so when you look at

[1:42:23] the numbers right I have ... how many people

[1:42:27] chose other options

[1:42:31] I'm I see yes seven hundred and eight people who

[1:42:34] did the survey did say that they like the I.

[1:42:37] concept of art on the wall however I can't help

[1:42:40] but want to acknowledge all of those who did not

[1:42:43] actually choose art many of those people who did not

[1:42:47] choose ... it comes up to one thousand five hundred

[1:42:51] and ninety eight people

[1:42:54] so that's one thousand five hundred ninety eight people who

[1:42:56] actually did not choose to have art on the wall

[1:43:00] for whatever reason you know they had different options there

[1:43:03] was staining it but they did not actually choose to

[1:43:07] have our

[1:43:09] and I I wonder if that has a lot to

[1:43:11] do with the residents who have been so frustrated with

[1:43:14] the wall in the first place and nine I noticed

[1:43:17] that many of my residents who had a lot of

[1:43:20] trees cut down in order to put this wall up

[1:43:24] they they're hurt by that the fact that we lost

[1:43:27] so much of our ... tree canopy and ... have

[1:43:32] been stuck with this well what I've heard from many

[1:43:34] of my residents and I've been talking to them and

[1:43:38] one resident who is an artist and he said I

[1:43:40] love art and he said is I it is my

[1:43:44] passion but I do not and I cannot see more

[1:43:48] our money being spent on this wall that has been

[1:43:51] such a frustrating point it's time to move on and

[1:43:55] so I I do respect the art community and you

[1:44:00] know I I like I said I love art I

[1:44:02] also want to acknowledge that leases ... excellent presentation had

[1:44:07] a number of different beautiful areas that had are on

[1:44:11] different surfaces and so I really would like us to

[1:44:16] respect that there are a lot of people one thousand

[1:44:20] five hundred ninety eight people who did not choose are

[1:44:23] and

[1:44:25] ... if I could get the motion back on the

[1:44:27] floor there

[1:44:31] if it's possible I just have an amendment to it

[1:44:34] ...

[1:44:36] I would like to amend ... or stray cattle the

[1:44:40] plan for the five kilometers from the wall and end

[1:44:43] chain and make an amendment for the three hundred thousand

[1:44:46] to be used for other areas in the city ...

[1:44:50] I would really like for staff to come back and

[1:44:52] let us know what other areas would be appropriate that

[1:44:55] we use the ... of the

[1:44:59] what is to find out what areas we can put

[1:45:02] the art on but if we can strike out the

[1:45:04] plan for the five hundred dollar noise wall I want

[1:45:07] to respect the people are said do not spend any

[1:45:09] more money on that wall and amend it for ...

[1:45:13] the three hundred thousand to be used for other areas

[1:45:16] for areas in the city that would be appropriate for

[1:45:19] ... art

[1:45:23] thank you so much

[1:45:27] through the chair Kelso Williams I just want to clarify

[1:45:29] actually the guy looked at the survey and the costs

[1:45:32] were included in the survey

[1:45:35] so we had the cost of approximately three hundred thousand

[1:45:37] or three hundred fifty thousand to complete the work as

[1:45:40] part of the survey well that's good thank you for

[1:45:43] clarifying that it's really good that our residents to know

[1:45:45] what they're getting into two and ... you know I

[1:45:49] still think we there's one thousand five hundred ninety people

[1:45:52] that still didn't use the ark and people are are

[1:45:55] really wanting us to move on and ... but I

[1:45:59] still want to see art in our community so I

[1:46:02] I have an amendment for the three hundred thousand to

[1:46:06] be used for ... art installations and other areas of

[1:46:09] Brampton and that the plan for the five corners be

[1:46:12] struck out the motion that's my man thank you

[1:46:17] border I don't take that as the friendly what I

[1:46:20] would take as a friendly is some

[1:46:24] the that motion as is but ... but also adds

[1:46:29] so and locations for urban landscape entries Public right potential

[1:46:34] themes and timelines for implementation and that staff bring forward

[1:46:41] other ideas ... related to public art installation in Brampton

[1:46:47] so this is also in line with the delegations as

[1:46:51] well as what ... John could use a lot had

[1:46:54] presented and is advocating for and this is just the

[1:46:59] beginning as an opportunity for the weather Santos you can

[1:47:02] councillor Singh ... yeah the card is and buys me

[1:47:06] restrained so I don't want us to debate ... whether

[1:47:10] it's from they're not you can simply state that it's

[1:47:12] not really through three missed Mr Mayor so just to

[1:47:14] clarify this is a debate on the noise wall and

[1:47:17] the use of public art on the noise wall not

[1:47:19] for public art in other locations if there's a broader

[1:47:21] discussion of public are generally that should be added as

[1:47:24] a new business item and either this meeting with a

[1:47:26] two thirds vote or a future meeting in terms of

[1:47:29] volume social

[1:47:31] sorry go ahead council but maybe in the middle of

[1:47:33] the displaced internally in terms of cancer Williams proposed motion

[1:47:38] the motion moved by councillor Santos is a referral motion

[1:47:40] so we're in the middle of a referral debate I

[1:47:43] I I am trying to understand councillor Williams amendment I

[1:47:47] don't think it's germane to the referral because the referral

[1:47:50] is not saying to spend the money it's saying for

[1:47:52] staff to go back and look at something report back

[1:47:54] to council has not made a decision on the money

[1:47:57] so ... the motion from cancer Williams maybe you're a

[1:48:00] proper motion introduced sure the referral not Kerry

[1:48:05] okay thank you for the clarification so then I will

[1:48:07] leave that motion as is that thank you very much

[1:48:17] three three Mr Mayor at that done Jason did you

[1:48:19] wanna yeah I just wanted to ask for the chair

[1:48:22] ... just a reminder to councillors that ... recently ...

[1:48:27] the approved of a public our strategy in that's in

[1:48:30] development and going to come forward and it would consider

[1:48:34] ... things like the other opportunities being referenced ... just

[1:48:39] ... just as a reminder thank you

[1:48:48] okay

[1:48:50] so next up then is to the discounts will install

[1:48:53] the floor cancel Williams

[1:48:55] I finish thank you I've just see that my amendment

[1:48:59] is strike out it would be a new motion in

[1:49:02] consideration should be are the motion outside correct so it's

[1:49:07] it's another motion on the floor the card could please

[1:49:11] clarify through you Mr Mayor if the referral motion does

[1:49:14] not Kerry then it could be a motion that's introduced

[1:49:17] in regards to the report ... if the refer a

[1:49:20] motion does Kerry than ... that motion is is ...

[1:49:23] the matters dealt with it's been referred and ... that

[1:49:26] motion is is redundant

[1:49:29] okay ... because they do want to see us explore

[1:49:33] our have that budget allocation of that amount would be

[1:49:37] used for public art so ... I guess we'll I

[1:49:42] would have to re introduce that afterwards or ...

[1:49:46] unless it was also a referral referral back to staff

[1:49:50] ... so that we can identify other areas for our

[1:49:54] installation ... with the budget at our location

[1:50:04] through 3

[1:50:05] three and why I would suggest that ... depending on

[1:50:08] the outcome of the refer a motion ... the refer

[1:50:10] a motion is referring the entire matter ... which include

[1:50:13] staff reference that there is within the budget for this

[1:50:16] noise wall three hundred thousand dollars so council has not

[1:50:19] made a decision on what to do with that so

[1:50:22] if the matter was referred back to staff for further

[1:50:24] consideration presumably that'll be one of the matter is that

[1:50:26] would be considered when the report comes back and council

[1:50:28] makes a decision at that time I see okay I

[1:50:32] will yield and just sat let others ... speak their

[1:50:36] their opinions thank you very much councillor question

[1:50:43] thank you Mr Mayor so I'll try and be brief

[1:50:46] because I think everybody's on this and I have struggled

[1:50:48] with ... with this one if we can go back

[1:50:50] to the survey and councillor Willhans Williams brought up a

[1:50:54] good point ... and that's one way to look at

[1:50:57] the survey survey the other way to look at the

[1:51:00] survey is there was any majority of people that want

[1:51:04] to change as opposed to leaving the noise wall the

[1:51:07] way it is so and that's the two ways that

[1:51:10] I kind of looked at practice survey unfortunately I think

[1:51:14] and I've heard from residents that they felt the survey

[1:51:18] was a little bit confusing ... providing too many choices

[1:51:22] and I think we we do this to ourselves in

[1:51:25] and I think we should really look at the way

[1:51:27] with that we that we put surveys ... to to

[1:51:31] residents they may there needs to be some kind of

[1:51:34] simplicity so the surveys that we put out so that

[1:51:37] there isn't any questions on

[1:51:40] which way it's going

[1:51:42] I was also little ... disturbed by the first delegations

[1:51:47] our criticism of our of council's lack of funding for

[1:51:52] the arts and although there is a little bit of

[1:51:56] truth to to those comments ... we also provide him

[1:52:01] and his organization I believe staff can correct me if

[1:52:04] I'm wrong a little over five hundred thousand dollars is

[1:52:08] that correct

[1:52:19] I believe it was three our little over three hundred

[1:52:21] thousand last year in the budget it's five hundred thousand

[1:52:24] this year

[1:52:30] through the chair if you're referring to that the OP

[1:52:33] a new operating budget for the arts agency yes three

[1:52:36] seventy two and twenty twenty one and then council approved

[1:52:41] an increase in twenty twenty two for just over five

[1:52:45] hundred thousand dollars for annual operating budget so I think

[1:52:49] it's unfortunate that nobody has recognize the fact that you

[1:52:52] know we have ... we have almost doubled the the

[1:52:55] funding going into the arts but I'm I'm I could

[1:52:58] be the first one to say that it's still not

[1:53:01] enough in ten and I'll say that but the the

[1:53:05] fact is that we went from a little over three

[1:53:07] thousand to five hundred thousand dollars in the year so

[1:53:11] I think that this council has clearly sent arts is

[1:53:14] important to us ... we recognize that we put a

[1:53:17] lot of money into other activities in the city of

[1:53:20] Brampton he sports ... but art is is a priority

[1:53:24] and you know councillor Santos so huge ... ... proponent

[1:53:28] notes of the arts and are I think other councillors

[1:53:31] have have always stated that ... they enjoy our whether

[1:53:35] their artistic or not I stated that I'm not artistic

[1:53:38] at all but yet I enjoy the arts ... and

[1:53:41] I think that we there are other ways that we

[1:53:44] should be looking at ... things like this if we're

[1:53:47] gonna take art seriously in the city of Brampton then

[1:53:50] we should look at it like we're like we're building

[1:53:53] an asset we should go through the phases of

[1:53:58] what we do here in the city of Brampton design

[1:54:01] phase ... at the construction phase that in the consultation

[1:54:05] phase and all those in between we don't expect anybody

[1:54:10] in the arts community to do anything for free we

[1:54:13] don't expect anybody to do anything ... for free there

[1:54:18] is ... ... we have we have a lot of

[1:54:21] volunteers that that do some great work in the city

[1:54:24] of Brampton but this is something that we need to

[1:54:28] start looking at ... Lake we look at everything else

[1:54:31] in the city of Brampton and ... so I I

[1:54:35] I support the referral ...

[1:54:38] should be able to come back and provide an opportunity

[1:54:43] for people to to look at some kind of design

[1:54:48] ... in in what we're what we're trying to essentially

[1:54:52] do and let me say again because I've said it

[1:54:55] before I like the wall I've always liked the wall

[1:54:59] I like the feeling that it gives me when I'm

[1:55:01] driving the Carmen affected it was supposed to supposed to

[1:55:05] give motorists I get that when I'm driving the wall

[1:55:09] but I also know that it's not complete and it

[1:55:13] hasn't been completed as to yeah there is still landscaping

[1:55:16] trees and potential for public art ... is one of

[1:55:22] those other opportunities that can make this world better than

[1:55:26] what I think it it is today it's an unfinished

[1:55:31] product so for anybody looking at this wall now to

[1:55:34] say oh well that's that's a good it's not dark

[1:55:37] it's not complete and it's unfortunate that it's not completely

[1:55:41] we're having this debate with an unfinished product but

[1:55:46] it is what it is and that's what we're here

[1:55:47] for so I think that this referral clearly sets out

[1:55:52] what this is it provides opportunity for members of council

[1:55:56] to see what this ... what the finished product could

[1:56:01] look like and ... I know there's some there's some

[1:56:05] funding opportunities ... there are also funding opportunities and other

[1:56:10] levels of government that we could potentially be tapping into

[1:56:14] as well for this if we're going to start taking

[1:56:18] art seriously in the city of Brampton and I think

[1:56:21] that's that's kind of a step in that direction to

[1:56:23] our to bring something that like so many passionate artists

[1:56:29] stated here today ... that could be so thank you

[1:56:33] Mr Mayor I'm happy to support this referral if you

[1:56:36] don't have a second ... all seconded ... and I

[1:56:40] look forward to seeing this come back in and what

[1:56:44] this potentially could look like in its complete form okay

[1:56:48] leave a Jason Tammy one respond to the

[1:56:52] the experience ... the chair councillor just want to ...

[1:56:56] with respect to the the designs references I kind of

[1:56:59] understand what you're getting at seeing ... to see see

[1:57:02] what something would look like before we proceed ... just

[1:57:06] wanted to kind of explain with that the fire ...

[1:57:09] the fire doors for instance we had stops at third

[1:57:12] party assisting coordinating the local artist and coordinating that work

[1:57:18] and so I would you would just note that it

[1:57:20] will be difficult to come back ... without ... six

[1:57:25] some expenditure of funds and so I would suggest for

[1:57:28] perhaps a referral for a design concept to be developed

[1:57:31] in back to council for consideration using some of that

[1:57:34] three hundred K. ... because we'll have to

[1:57:38] consult with an artist and get some designs developed it's

[1:57:41] that's not done in house ... and so there would

[1:57:44] be some expense to that in advance of coming back

[1:57:48] and I just want to be mindful of that I

[1:57:49] don't have an exact number right now but if it

[1:57:51] was part of that three hundred we could get that

[1:57:54] done

[1:57:55] thank you Jason and and that's exactly what I'm talking

[1:57:58] about there's we don't ask anybody else to do anything

[1:58:01] for free we don't ask consultants to consult for free

[1:58:04] we don't have to diners to design for free so

[1:58:07] if there needs to be some funding going to going

[1:58:10] towards a design of this to work for us to

[1:58:13] be able to look at ... the opportunities then yes

[1:58:16] I support that but keep in mind we also provide

[1:58:21] over five hundred thousand dollars to a seat at that

[1:58:24] could play a role in this as well

[1:58:28] so I'm sure you can you know the worker magic

[1:58:31] and and without with the cedar and and some of

[1:58:34] the funds that are currently at your disposal come back

[1:58:39] with some kind of design

[1:58:41] the council can get behind thank you Mr

[1:58:45] somebody put some of Europe's

[1:58:49] thank you Mr Mayor ... I will say that I

[1:58:52] I agreed with with all the sentiments from cancer plushie

[1:58:56] and you didn't agree to look away so ... I

[1:58:58] got to recognize that was really wild hello ... the

[1:59:02] only thing I don't see it reflected in the motion

[1:59:06] in the referral so ... I'm going to yield ...

[1:59:10] to ... I guess the next speaker ... and ...

[1:59:14] here my colleagues because ... in terms of you know

[1:59:17] what we're looking out there there's a lot of conversations

[1:59:20] on this and and and and just in principle on

[1:59:23] the delegations and thank you to all the delegations ...

[1:59:25] I know Lisa Stokes was very passionate about it she

[1:59:28] presented a a great video ... and and different ...

[1:59:32] ideas and and also ... ... John certainly is ...

[1:59:36] fuller of our right to community and ... have the

[1:59:39] option to speak with the mollusca full days regarding other

[1:59:42] beautification across the city the only thing I would say

[1:59:45] not to jump away from this specific subject we talk

[1:59:48] about public art you know certainly when we think of

[1:59:51] start connecting the dots of all our decisions that we

[1:59:53] make regarding budget allocations ... regarding ... you know expenses

[1:59:58] when we look at what we've done in the budget

[2:00:00] at the same time ... we want new you know

[2:00:03] investing public garden in specifically in these type of projects

[2:00:07] ... you know I I think that you know we'd

[2:00:09] be naive to suggest that some of our our decisions

[2:00:12] that don't come to bite us after we need you

[2:00:15] know comes to these all products we don't have a

[2:00:18] an empty sort of war chest or we can spend

[2:00:20] all the money we want so we can you know

[2:00:22] do one thing and and make these decisions because they're

[2:00:25] all interconnected so when we allow salary increases I know

[2:00:28] we're going to discuss that later when we lost salary

[2:00:31] increases to go out of whack or when we allow

[2:00:34] certain budget decisions and I know I'm going up intention

[2:00:37] of going up the subject so I will refrain from

[2:00:39] there these have these type of impacts in in specifically

[2:00:42] when we dealt with ... our budget but I will

[2:00:47] ... ... certainly ...

[2:00:48] ... ... listen to my colleagues but I I do

[2:00:51] think the beautification of the city is a must so

[2:00:54] I don't like to limit the conversation to this wall

[2:00:57] ... and ... because I see all of us across

[2:01:01] the city and all our wards ... we do ...

[2:01:03] have been for our capital that we would like to

[2:01:06] provide a public art ... ... and ... really ...

[2:01:11] as the comments of the member tell the story ...

[2:01:14] and maybe tell the story of those specific words so

[2:01:17] ... I will yield ... and a lot of other

[2:01:20] speakers to come on thank you very much

[2:01:26] okay next up is councillor Singh

[2:01:36] councillor Singh

[2:01:38] thank you and ... you know it's been all robots

[2:01:42] the conversation and ... you know initially ... you know

[2:01:45] I did also share some concerns but ... you know

[2:01:50] having spoken to some of the arts members and and

[2:01:52] people from the arts community ... what I found with

[2:01:56] this initiative which I appreciated ... I find it's very

[2:02:00] artist driven so what I'm a little bit nervous about

[2:02:04] ... changing ... the vision or the or the scope

[2:02:07] of ... you know looking at other areas when I've

[2:02:11] had a lot of conversation and and they pertain to

[2:02:13] beautifying the noise wall you can part of the tool

[2:02:16] ... for that ... beautification ... and I appreciate ...

[2:02:20] you know the cross section of artists with some key

[2:02:23] young artists older older artists local artists ... different disciplines

[2:02:29] everybody is ... from arts community seems to be ...

[2:02:33] back to this initiative so ... that's you know Gwyneth

[2:02:38] Park Street driven driven by the community I think ...

[2:02:41] with support to be a little bit ... sensitive ...

[2:02:44] to ... what what the committee is trying to accomplish

[2:02:48] ... what I also appreciate about ... this motion in

[2:02:52] particular ... is that ... there seems to be some

[2:02:56] synergies between ... ... this a referral and also ...

[2:03:04] the report coming back from ... Mike parks that urban

[2:03:08] landscape and and if there's opportunities especially ... for cost

[2:03:13] savings in that notes then ... Jeez ... sharing of

[2:03:16] staff resources ... on top of that we know ...

[2:03:20] exceed ... at has a has a three staff I

[2:03:23] believe at this point ... I think we can come

[2:03:26] up with a cost effective way to get this done

[2:03:29] ... I think by stopping in now ... what eliminate

[2:03:32] that possibility but I think it because all these things

[2:03:35] are lining up with the urban landscape from Mike parks

[2:03:38] by

[2:03:38] image ... we have to see that we have the

[2:03:40] artistic gauge ... I think we got a road map

[2:03:44] that will find its ... cost effective and if it's

[2:03:47] not when I come back and we can make the

[2:03:48] decision accordingly but ... I think to stop a referral

[2:03:52] motion at this point is ... premature ... because there's

[2:03:56] so many aspects that are coming together ... that we

[2:03:58] can probably get this done ... so I would say

[2:04:02] let's get staff to go back ... you know ...

[2:04:05] you know ... come up with the road map ...

[2:04:08] we have all these things happening and and ... silos

[2:04:12] bring it all together and ... you know let's get

[2:04:14] the landscaping aligned with the public art and and ...

[2:04:18] you know who's doing a great job at death I

[2:04:20] think the opportunity is now and ... best way referring

[2:04:24] and I'll be supporting this referral thank you

[2:04:33] okay next up is councillor Willhans

[2:04:38] thank you through you ... Mr Mayor ... I just

[2:04:42] wanna go on record I'm not a big fan of

[2:04:44] painting that wall but I'm certainly not against public art

[2:04:48] of the deal was one thing that didn't work and

[2:04:50] I know that my sparks group in other councils have

[2:04:53] alluded to this but ... you know we'll be looking

[2:04:55] at the different types of plantings landscaping along there but

[2:04:59] I want to make sure that ... it's just refer

[2:05:02] let's go back when it comes to the urban landscaping

[2:05:04] we're looking at planting along the wall not on the

[2:05:06] corners not in front with trees and those around all

[2:05:09] important to the beautify I think we're doubling up the

[2:05:11] amount of trees along what was Park which is when

[2:05:13] I widening it now and I would also look at

[2:05:16] a collaboration effort between the arm our public schools are

[2:05:20] Catholic schools the school boards in general as well as

[2:05:23] the TRCA and CVC the CVC is affected by this

[2:05:26] water not but ... we get those groups involved as

[2:05:29] well with the students to look at him to work

[2:05:32] with our city the plan along that wall we've got

[2:05:35] a good examples I don't want to I don't have

[2:05:37] them here with me but I got examples of other

[2:05:39] cities in Canada in North America and Europe

[2:05:42] I did plantings Virginia creeper Austin ivy English ivy different

[2:05:47] types of ...

[2:05:50] plants that grow someone's the average some some of the

[2:05:52] state like you wanted this will stay green all winter

[2:05:54] so I want us to explore that aspect of it

[2:05:56] as well because to plan for junior creeper Boston ivy

[2:05:59] along that wall that would feel stretch of wall climber

[2:06:02] along in less than five years ... I've got it

[2:06:04] on my own house it gives a beautiful call fall

[2:06:06] color it's it's it's gorgeous and can you imagine if

[2:06:10] it's a clever everyone effort with our schools can you

[2:06:12] imagine an elementary school student or maybe perhaps a grade

[2:06:16] twelve students interested in fundamental studies looking at that wall

[2:06:19] in four years time saying I was part of that

[2:06:22] I was part of that wall beautifying that wall with

[2:06:24] green use natural landscaping I'm not against public art I

[2:06:27] just don't think public arts a good spot along a

[2:06:30] noise wall like that

[2:06:32] ... with public art is you have one person's interpretation

[2:06:36] of it another person doesn't like that public art well

[2:06:38] then you've got more complaints lately if they if you

[2:06:40] just left the wall along but I do like the

[2:06:43] idea of public garden certain spaces I'm not control control

[2:06:47] probably longer than anybody here ... he's a good artist

[2:06:50] he is passionate about the art hi Lisa Stokes does

[2:06:53] a great job of providing safe examples of all of

[2:06:56] the community the first presentation was was rather I rather

[2:06:59] enjoyed it because it was the Rick Mercer report on

[2:07:01] regular services rental I appreciate the environment the presentation from

[2:07:06] from the delegates I appreciate that as well I appreciate

[2:07:09] counsel's Santos the need for public art but I think

[2:07:13] maybe ... at this time I mean I don't hate

[2:07:16] before also to deal with things but I think maybe

[2:07:18] perhaps I will support the referral but I want staff

[2:07:21] to understand that part of that urban landscaping isn't just

[2:07:25] our typical urban landscaping is looking outside the box and

[2:07:29] I challenge anybody to challenge me on it because I

[2:07:31] think I'm a little bit of a gardener Mr Mayor

[2:07:34] sense so let's work together so you can beautify that

[2:07:37] stretch so I thought my comments and thank you very

[2:07:40] much Mr

[2:07:43] okay thank you councillor Willhans next up is kind of

[2:07:45] service on the

[2:07:46] thank you very much Marianne I want to first and

[2:07:49] foremost thank god the delegations who came forward today to

[2:07:53] present us with their ask in their vision for ...

[2:07:57] what is possible with respect to a place like this

[2:08:01] with the wall ... I ... really appreciate it very

[2:08:06] concise and well prepared statements and ... the encouragement that

[2:08:12] the delegates have provided to council today and this discussion

[2:08:16] has been ... I think very productive ... not just

[2:08:20] in respect to the Williams parkway wall ... but also

[2:08:24] to what it is that we would like to see

[2:08:27] in other places across the city I know when my

[2:08:29] discussions with public works staff they are listening to this

[2:08:34] conversation very carefully and ... I know that they're getting

[2:08:39] everyone's ideas and looking to ... meet all of our

[2:08:43] expectations and ... there are so many opportunities across the

[2:08:48] city of Brampton where public arts can enhance the public

[2:08:53] realm and ... beautify the city and provide a way

[2:08:57] for us to ...

[2:09:00] make expression through public art a real assets

[2:09:05] for the city of Brampton and for the enjoyment of

[2:09:08] the residents are here ... great ideas by all members

[2:09:12] of council you know as combining Public cards ... with

[2:09:17] the planting of ... appropriate trees and shrubs I I

[2:09:20] think is absolutely ...

[2:09:24] on points it's it's it's it can be so beautiful

[2:09:28] and I just want to share with ... members of

[2:09:32] the public and members of council today ... my own

[2:09:35] personal experience living in downtown Brampton

[2:09:38] in very close proximity to gauge Park

[2:09:42] where ... throughout the holiday season and this winter we

[2:09:48] have had a very beautiful ... winter lights display that

[2:09:53] has been ongoing and it's up every night

[2:09:56] and let me tell you about the crowds of people

[2:10:01] coming to downtown nightly to experience

[2:10:07] winter lights which is essentially a display of public art

[2:10:11] and enjoy the space take photos Miller banks and and

[2:10:17] just in general enjoy living in Brampton as as I

[2:10:21] like to say and so ... I want to support

[2:10:26] the referral ... and I think that some

[2:10:30] it's important that we realize that you know this council

[2:10:36] in this term of council both cancer centers and I

[2:10:38] it's a local area councillors we had many conversations with

[2:10:42] staff immediately after taking office and it was made very

[2:10:46] clear to us that we could not

[2:10:49] reverse ... the the construction of the wall as as

[2:10:54] had been planned by staff and so I think that

[2:10:58] we are ... if I could won't expression for Mayor

[2:11:01] Brown trying to make lemonade out of lemons ... but

[2:11:05] there is an incredible opportunity and this can truly be

[2:11:07] fantastic and ... we don't once ... Williams parkway the

[2:11:11] blue wall to be the example of ... of what

[2:11:16] it is that we do two ... junctures oldest points

[2:11:20] that we want this to be ... another way that

[2:11:23] we demonstrate what is best and how we are supporting

[2:11:27] the arts community here in the city of Brampton people

[2:11:31] will love it and I think that if we take

[2:11:34] this as one example and duplicated across other parts of

[2:11:38] the city as we have on the Franceschini bridge as

[2:11:42] we have in other ways ... I think that ...

[2:11:46] we can demonstrate as a council that we are behind

[2:11:49] the public art at the arts community and that's how

[2:11:52] we are very interested in beautifying the city so I'll

[2:11:55] just leave it at that and say that ... public

[2:11:58] works is ready to to make this happen and ...

[2:12:02] there are so many opportunities and I think we should

[2:12:04] support thank you

[2:12:09] councillor

[2:12:11] hi Bowman

[2:12:13] thank you very much through you Mr chair ... I

[2:12:16] fully agree with the art ... however in saying I

[2:12:21] fully agree with the art ...

[2:12:24] maybe maybe ... I'm a little bit jealous that ...

[2:12:27] all the art is going to be along this one

[2:12:29] stretch of road I'd like to see public art everywhere

[2:12:32] in the city I mean I can I can just

[2:12:35] picture pocket memorial arena for example which is which is

[2:12:39] the charcoal gray flak plaster ... with you know it

[2:12:44] eighty eight mural of of sports there to take part

[2:12:48] or renew sports for example to take part in this

[2:12:50] city ... and that's that's where I'm coming from on

[2:12:55] this ... I believe there's all sorts of art there's

[2:13:00] you know it doesn't I I I'm not sure what

[2:13:03] we're public art I'm just not sure about the word

[2:13:06] public I just like art you could have

[2:13:10] very very artistic world gardens that that our people do

[2:13:14] a great job of here in the city you can

[2:13:18] have those along the wall you could have as councillors

[2:13:20] ... Whillans suggested the various types of ivy the cover

[2:13:25] the top of the wall and ... like you know

[2:13:28] like I guess the older Boston baseball field when we

[2:13:33] park which looks tremendous ... you could have

[2:13:38] for example of it you know the the the shaped

[2:13:41] trees or that the district portions that can all be

[2:13:44] included in and I want that all looked out along

[2:13:48] this section of ... Williams parkway because as I mentioned

[2:13:53] ... if we're gonna spend three hundred thousand dollars on

[2:13:56] art ... I would much rather prefer to see it

[2:14:01] all over the city every every ward gets public art

[2:14:06] that's what that's what we need in the city and

[2:14:08] I think Mr Carter solo alluded to that as well

[2:14:12] that that needs to be everywhere in the city and

[2:14:15] I would hate to think that we're just looking at

[2:14:17] putting art on one little stretch of road that we

[2:14:21] have a noise wall there now in this conflict less

[2:14:23] she so rightly suggested which is unfinished you know when

[2:14:27] we put trees and shrubs and bushes and and fluorocarbons

[2:14:31] in there it's gonna look totally different so ... I'm

[2:14:35] happy to support this going back for a referral

[2:14:40] ... but I wanna make it clear when it does

[2:14:43] come back that we need to be looking at art

[2:14:46] everywhere so you know what that means that ... we

[2:14:50] we limit a budget for specific artwork back area and

[2:14:55] and spread the spread the wealth as we might want

[2:14:57] to say to other areas of the city I'm all

[2:15:00] in favor of that as well but you know there's

[2:15:02] there's two things that we should be considering here as

[2:15:05] well and and doc will come back in this report

[2:15:09] I'm hoping and the ideas that in other areas ...

[2:15:13] some jurisdictions have considered art at intersections as distractions for

[2:15:19] drivers ... and and so I want to hear from

[2:15:23] our traffic's staff whether that's an issue ... councillor Willhans

[2:15:28] touched on a very good issue as well and that

[2:15:32] is you know if we're if we're going to public

[2:15:35] art you know what I need gas when that

[2:15:39] the wall went up somebody considered that as as as

[2:15:43] art as well and we've got a bunch of people

[2:15:45] who don't like it and that's the problem that ...

[2:15:48] Arts in the eye of the beholder and I don't

[2:15:51] want to be putting up something there that that other

[2:15:53] people are gonna say we should just left it the

[2:15:55] way it was so there's a lot of things we

[2:15:57] need to consider and finally I I can't remember whether

[2:16:01] councillor Willhans touched on this or not but the more

[2:16:05] greenery the more shrubbery the more trees we have on

[2:16:09] that stretch of the more greenhouse gas we're gonna be

[2:16:14] absorbing and and converting and when you've got that many

[2:16:17] cars on that stretch of highway I think that is

[2:16:20] an important consideration especially since we declared a climate emergency

[2:16:25] so I'm happy to support this and see it come

[2:16:28] back ... but again I would prefer to see art

[2:16:33] everywhere throughout the city not just on one stretch of

[2:16:36] highway thanks

[2:16:38] okay councillor Willhans

[2:16:42] yes there are councillor Bowman touched on a lot of

[2:16:45] ... what I wanted to just add initial comment about

[2:16:47] the ... production reveals that Mrs along that wall but

[2:16:51] also ... one thing we have to factor in the

[2:16:53] current when the wall was ... was constructed we made

[2:16:56] there was a lot of ... greenhouse gases that were

[2:16:58] needed in the production of that wall so they're adding

[2:17:01] greenery adding shrubbery and adding things along that wall I

[2:17:04] wonder if up bikes parts guys could work with ...

[2:17:09] our environmental guys to sort of come up with that

[2:17:11] analysis or data maybe just just

[2:17:15] approximate on what the landscaping can do to help mitigate

[2:17:20] the greenhouse gas emissions that were created when that wall

[2:17:23] was actually constructed that be interesting to see as well

[2:17:26] ... for for for the future as well ... we

[2:17:28] got further projects like this thank you

[2:17:33] okay next up is a councillor Santos no I can't

[2:17:36] service so council Williams

[2:17:39] yes thank you ... great debate on this ... I

[2:17:42] think it's excellent to hear so many different opinions on

[2:17:46] ... how all members of council feel about the art

[2:17:48] I've heard are many say that art needs to be

[2:17:52] and other areas of the city and I agree one

[2:17:55] hundred percent that we need to have are represented throughout

[2:17:58] our city ... but I don't hear a lot of

[2:18:01] people say support for public art on this wall ...

[2:18:05] it's so I wonder if we can straight out the

[2:18:08] word public art and if that's not considered a friendly

[2:18:12] then we vote on the were public art separately ...

[2:18:16] so that's my one armed request I just wanted to

[2:18:20] ask though if we do ... except the referral for

[2:18:26] ... landscape trees public art another potential themes will be

[2:18:31] art ... company be hired to develop the concept for

[2:18:35] the public art when that report comes back

[2:18:44] sorry closer through the chair will will what

[2:18:50] we'll be looking at our consultants to provide the concept

[2:18:54] for the public art on this wall if we accept

[2:18:57] the referral ... if it passes today

[2:19:02] it's unlikely that the consultant would develop better ... but

[2:19:05] they would be able to ... it would either be

[2:19:08] culture staff or ... or steps to be we've used

[2:19:12] a few different times on a on a number of

[2:19:14] projects to assist in ...

[2:19:17] with the the getting the artists developing of that that

[2:19:21] parameters of the of the works and then at getting

[2:19:25] some design I would also note I mean it's three

[2:19:27] clomid hers of art Hey

[2:19:30] I think we were or it could have been and

[2:19:32] so what we were thinking was that there'd be the

[2:19:35] potential for multiple artists here not one one artist specifically

[2:19:40] doing three three climate or support so there there could

[2:19:44] be multiple opportunities available through that it also if Kelly's

[2:19:48] available ... and I just want to ...

[2:19:52] if if if there's thoughts around changing the public art

[2:19:56] terminology I just think it may be valuable to have

[2:19:59] a comment from her just as it pertains to the

[2:20:02] strategy being developed in a no ... there's there's some

[2:20:06] differentiation between kind of street level activation formal public art

[2:20:11] and some different things so if you could just speak

[2:20:13] to that if I could pass that

[2:20:15] thank you

[2:20:18] through the chair I think that ... in this case

[2:20:21] when we're talking about a large scale mural along the

[2:20:24] noise wall that public art is the appropriate terminology in

[2:20:28] other cases we to talk about time place making or

[2:20:31] temporary works of art but I am your project of

[2:20:34] this size and scale public artists the appropriate terminology

[2:20:40] okay thank you for that clarification ... I do I'd

[2:20:43] still request that the word public art be removed because

[2:20:48] I really do here many councillors saying ... I'm not

[2:20:52] they're not in favor of public art on this noise

[2:20:54] wall and I think that is in line with ...

[2:20:57] how many people how people feel about ... Public aren't

[2:21:02] even through the survey so that is my amendment and

[2:21:06] if it's on guess not taken as a friendly then

[2:21:08] we'd have to vote on that separately thank you

[2:21:13] okay so we have a request for a recorded vote

[2:21:16] I'd go to the clerk in the order in which

[2:21:17] you do the vote through you Mr Mayor to members

[2:21:19] of council the first vote would be ...

[2:21:23] ... also just will deal with this matter first and

[2:25:25] president Caledon violence dated January twenty fifth

[2:25:29] I welcome John followed by Kerry Susie and rec

[2:25:35] good morning mayor Brown and councillors thank you for the

[2:25:38] opportunity to speak to you today ... I want to

[2:25:42] start by saying that we're living in relation transformational times

[2:25:47] COVID nineteen has accelerated changes in the way ... we

[2:25:51] work up by decades of this council meeting which is

[2:25:55] a combination of in person and virtual is certainly an

[2:25:58] example of that

[2:25:59] ... the types of work that we do in our

[2:26:01] office is in the future will change significantly ... which

[2:26:05] will also change the type of work place that we

[2:26:08] need ... the demand for technology employees is exploding the

[2:26:14] battle to attract and retain the brightest and the best

[2:26:18] will increasingly be more and more intense we believe Brampton

[2:26:22] has been and will continue to be a good place

[2:26:26] to recruit these employers

[2:26:29] our workplace demographics are rapidly changing as well to predominately

[2:26:33] Milan millennials and Gen sees many of whom don't have

[2:26:37] a car and many of whom don't even have a

[2:26:39] driver's license that's the need for connectivity to higher order

[2:26:43] transit is impaired

[2:26:46] the criticality of a modern workplace which enables new ways

[2:26:49] of working connected to higher order public transit conveniently located

[2:26:55] to local amenities and build sustainable missteps systemically is critical

[2:27:00] to attracting and retaining talent it is critical for the

[2:27:04] future success of Rogers

[2:27:08] ... existing office at eighty two hundred Dixie some of

[2:27:11] whom are some of the it the councillors in attendance

[2:27:14] today have had the opportunity to tour is actually a

[2:27:18] repurposed factory

[2:27:21] ... it will not route meet Rogers requirements in the

[2:27:24] long term

[2:27:26] the site itself is under utilized so Rogers is proposing

[2:27:31] to move our campus to a state of the art

[2:27:34] facility in downtown Brampton adjacent to the Brampton go station

[2:27:39] on lands currently owned by Metrolinx

[2:27:42] this would result in thousands of high paying technology jobs

[2:27:47] being retained in Brampton

[2:27:49] it would result in the investment of at least a

[2:27:52] hundred million dollars this site along the Brampton Toronto Waterloo

[2:27:58] innovation corridor significantly expands Rogers transit accessible employee catchment area

[2:28:07] securing this site is essential to Roger's ability to make

[2:28:11] a long term investment in a new Brampton campus

[2:28:16] at the same time we'd like to revitalize our eighty

[2:28:19] two hundred sixty site by adding residential uses along Dixie

[2:28:23] road while preserving a valuable employment note for the majority

[2:28:27] of the site

[2:28:30] Rogers is seeking Brampton City council support to request to

[2:28:34] ministers owning orders that will enable Rogers to usher in

[2:28:38] a new era of investment in Brampton

[2:28:42] on the Brampton go lance Rogers is seeking permission that

[2:28:46] would enable a campus with a minimum of two hundred

[2:28:49] thousand square feet of office and retail uses with space

[2:28:54] for additional office or residential uses uses that would be

[2:28:58] accommodated basis we also seek your support for the sale

[2:29:03] of the downside downtown site to Rogers symbol Cheney a

[2:29:07] sleep Rogers is also seeking a ministers so in order

[2:29:12] for the lands we will be vacating at eighty two

[2:29:14] hundred Dixie road that would permit up to one point

[2:29:17] two million square feet of industrial warehouse uses and up

[2:29:21] to twenty five acres of residential development along Dixie road

[2:29:26] to be built out in a mix of residential towers

[2:29:29] and stacked townhomes

[2:29:32] in summary this is a transformational time for Brampton and

[2:29:36] for Rogers you are making great strides in the revitalization

[2:29:42] of your downtown watchers would like to participate in and

[2:29:46] to be a catalyst to accelerate this positive change we

[2:29:50] appreciate your support and your partnership thank you again for

[2:29:54] the opportunity to speak to you today

[2:29:59] thank you John the next donations Kerry Percival chair of

[2:30:02] the downtown Brampton BIA and Susie got from the exact

[2:30:04] of director of the downtown Brampton BIA please person

[2:30:13] I am it's got for here and I just wanted

[2:30:16] to start by saying that she'll carry personal unfortunately had

[2:30:22] to go to another meeting so I'm going to start

[2:30:24] with her and she wanted me to read ... the

[2:30:27] delegation if you wanna make this morning I think you

[2:30:30] Mayor Brown and council members

[2:30:32] I apologize for not being able to speak directly with

[2:30:35] you we have the downtown Brampton BIA are very excited

[2:30:38] to see Rodgers Rodgers item on today's agenda this is

[2:30:42] an incredible opportunity for our city a major corporation like

[2:30:46] Rogers that has been committed to Brampton in our community

[2:30:49] for many years wants to continue this relationship with mass

[2:30:53] investment in our people and community we will see an

[2:30:56] increase in jobs and economic growth specifically for our downtown

[2:31:00] core

[2:31:01] at the downtown Brampton BIA fully supports our council to

[2:31:05] request an MCO from the province for this project again

[2:31:09] this is to an incredible opportunity and very exciting times

[2:31:12] for Brampton and I'm not and I'm just gonna follow

[2:31:16] with killings words I did want to say I was

[2:31:18] really excited when I was reading over the weekend the

[2:31:22] board packed beyond the council package and so I want

[2:31:25] to say that yeah this is huge huge news for

[2:31:30] downtown Brampton and ... it's a huge huge opportunity we

[2:31:34] know that bringing Rodgers to downtown Brampton ... will create

[2:31:39] more jobs and specifically in the tech field and and

[2:31:43] more careers in the downtown core and ... as well

[2:31:47] as building more commercial office space in downtown and that

[2:31:51] will enable the whole city of Brampton to be more

[2:31:53] competitive across the GTA with regards to commercial inventory and

[2:31:58] commercial space so we're really excited about yes we know

[2:32:03] this is going to spur more investment and economic growth

[2:32:08] to downtown Brampton this is this is our time so

[2:32:12] ... for the record just I wanted to publicly say

[2:32:15] we fully support this request and ... we ask that

[2:32:19] the city council prioritize this incredible opportunity thank you

[2:32:25] thank you Susie the next elevation is Rick Evans executive

[2:32:27] member of new Brampton please go ahead Rick

[2:32:32] thank you Peter

[2:32:34]

[2:32:35] brown councillors

[2:32:37] city staff told delegates at most notably those representing Rogers

[2:32:43] present today

[2:32:45] I speak with a voice representing nearly four thousand supporters

[2:32:49] of an ad hoc nonpartisan group only referred to as

[2:32:53] the draft

[2:32:55] our membership the city brought with individuals from all over

[2:33:00] lots of this committee

[2:33:02] some are developers property owners planners engineers

[2:33:08] others such as I or simply long term residents of

[2:33:11] the city

[2:33:13] but we all out of vested interest in the development

[2:33:18] of Brampton

[2:33:19] and we all are focused on the betterment of our

[2:33:23] community

[2:33:25] it is with excitement

[2:33:29] but the executive board of your Brampton endorse the proposal

[2:33:33] would Rogers has shared with the downtown campus and the

[2:33:37] redeployment other Dixie road lance

[2:33:40] a brand new state of the art sustainable transit oriented

[2:33:44] mixed use development with as much as five hundred thousand

[2:33:47] square feet of commercial space

[2:33:50] we cannot imagine

[2:33:52] ... project good night to revitalize ation of our city

[2:33:56] court

[2:33:58] the possibilities are immense

[2:34:03] 2

[2:34:04] enhance

[2:34:06] water level transit

[2:34:08] a transit hub

[2:34:11] I can go on for hours

[2:34:14] with the transit hub the technical employment and the redevelopment

[2:34:18] of the Dixie road lands not to be forgotten

[2:34:22] the corporate commitment demonstrated by Rogers to our community

[2:34:26] is immensely welcome

[2:34:30] their proposal aligns so well with our twenty forty vision

[2:34:33] of city building it cannot put screens for our support

[2:34:37] and we knew Brampton fully support and encourage our council

[2:34:43] to request the elms those from the province as discussed

[2:34:48] thank you for giving me the opportunity to share the

[2:34:50] excitement that I house for

[2:34:54] what Mr Mel the husband's playing to us

[2:34:57] and up it is most welcome

[2:35:02] thank you our record next up is Sylvia Roberts

[2:35:05] a Brampton

[2:35:09] can

[2:35:11] we can

[2:35:12] all right hello council by name is Sylvia Roberts we

[2:35:16] have a three regarding the Ms that is like the

[2:35:18] scene and incredibly tempting offer is a couple things that

[2:35:22] council should also consider if the player committee of council

[2:35:26] meeting council give the thumbs up to the downtown transit

[2:35:29] hub T. pap to the best of my knowledge the

[2:35:31] lands Rogers has proposed building a new campus on happens

[2:35:35] to be part of that and is one of the

[2:35:36] more likely parcel candidates the current bus terminal building does

[2:35:41] need to be torn down to make room for the

[2:35:43] third tracked increasing go service the downtown Mount Pleasant even

[2:35:47] if the city were to select the current state the

[2:35:50] side of the current bus terminal for the new bus

[2:35:52] terminal there's still the matter of needing to relocate the

[2:35:55] bus the current customer least temporarily in order to demolish

[2:35:59] and rebuild that structure the parking lot immediately next to

[2:36:04]

[2:36:06] transparent does represent a fairly good location for a temporary

[2:36:10] thing

[2:36:12] consideration at least for feeling of the development once it

[2:36:15] is resolved the issue ... that the issue of a

[2:36:19] computer intentionally competing need for personal question the city also

[2:36:22] needs to turn to transportation planning the heck of a

[2:36:25] lot of people have posted a worker

[2:36:28] are they going to get better Mr members often the

[2:36:31] parking study the city garages have capacity for adding another

[2:36:35] seven hundred cars on a daily basis this is a

[2:36:38] plan for how to accommodate the transportation demand for three

[2:36:41] thousand people to get the downtown Brampton and because city

[2:36:44] once the downtown spending money women hybrid work don't help

[2:36:48] for the city's proposed goals ...

[2:36:52] except for Mississauga that probably coming on the main street

[2:36:55] south which is a little bit of an issue as

[2:36:57] the city is recently reduced capacity on that road this

[2:37:02] evening to explore alternatives to increase that and doesn't

[2:37:05] ... the person the public representing Rogers has noted a

[2:37:10] lot of the people take transit and so implementing bus

[2:37:14] lanes on base main street is probably the most effective

[2:37:17] way to improve our capacity on main street south city

[2:37:22] may also wish to accelerate the implementation on queen street

[2:37:26] east and of value it bus lanes on main street

[2:37:30] north because most of the city does why north of

[2:37:34] downtown

[2:37:35] I would the plans purpose land the city will meet

[2:37:38] at a number of buses to accommodate increased P. transportation

[2:37:41] demand the downtown Ms auto potentially offers the opportunity for

[2:37:46] mutual and by the city in Rogers and nothing that

[2:37:49] I previously mentioned precludes the items that are from going

[2:37:51] forward they're just things to be mindful of as as

[2:37:54] it goes forward

[2:37:56] much like Rogers has the benefit of the largest park

[2:38:00] eighty eighty two hundred Dixie is functionally obsolescent for Rogers

[2:38:04] and no longer serves the needs the Brampton transit's Clark

[2:38:07] best maintenance and storage facility it is also getting thirty

[2:38:11] two is relatively small capacity inability to accommodate articulated buses

[2:38:15] and unknown capacity for electrification in the largest and is

[2:38:19] there for the Dixie said they proposed an industrial space

[2:38:23] is probably a suitable site in space or putting in

[2:38:27] a new transit maintenance starts was only to replace the

[2:38:30] clerk one which would allow for better economies of scale

[2:38:33] in terms operations would definitely allow articulated buses

[2:38:38] and if and you could easily plans for electrification from

[2:38:43] the start because of its location on Dixie between queen

[2:38:46] and steals queen we are very much working diligently on

[2:38:50] to get the Queen Street B. R. two done as

[2:38:52] soon as possible Instagram is also working towards that goal

[2:38:56] so having the bus terminal that can actually supply the

[2:38:59] articulated buses for those routes so close to it is

[2:39:03] my vantage from operational point of view

[2:39:06] there is a potential savings on non revenue hours because

[2:39:10] it does actually take time to drive buses from this

[2:39:14] site at a secure and transparent down to steals ...

[2:39:20] a number of places have co located ... past the

[2:39:22] Saudis and housing in September with electrification the buses will

[2:39:27] also be

[2:39:29] much more quiet and more compatible with that ... potentially

[2:39:33] using that industrial the proposed industrial space for a maintenance

[2:39:38] and storage facility is a similar you some point around

[2:39:42] and as represents the potential opportunity for both the city

[2:39:46] and Rogers to mutually when on this separate Ms that

[2:39:49] I'll

[2:39:51] unlike the highway fifty cents because it's in the urban

[2:39:54] core and the city would need would not need anywhere

[2:39:57] near as much parking because it already has decent transit

[2:40:02] service to anticipate moving to twenty four seven service this

[2:40:06] would late Mississaugas previously done with twenty four seven service

[2:40:11] for twenty four hours service and don't region has also

[2:40:14] moved towards is has implemented a twenty four seven service

[2:40:19] mmhm

[2:40:21] this kind of site would actually be very good for

[2:40:23] supplying those vehicles are thank you that's my delegation

[2:40:28] okay we will now go to questions of the

[2:40:32] delegations and first off we have ... councillor the Sunday

[2:40:37] thank you Mr Mayor just before review we begin those

[2:40:39] just to remind council that we also have the added

[2:40:41] briefing note from staff that's identified as ten point four

[2:40:44] point one that was added to the agenda Rebecca that's

[2:40:47] economic development regional so there's a question for a clear

[2:40:50] Burnett and her team ... feel free to ask that

[2:40:52] as well

[2:40:54]

[2:40:56] councillor Sunday

[2:40:58] thank you very much this matter are first of all

[2:41:00] wanna thank ... Rogers and John Mallory for coming here

[2:41:03] today with this ... incredible opportunity for the city of

[2:41:06] Brampton I wanna thank ... the delegations ... who spoke

[2:41:10] ... in favor of this proposal and ... thank you

[2:41:15] for your continued support and ... valid suggestions ... for

[2:41:21] all of us ... I'm not going to spend too

[2:41:24] much time right now ... speaking to this I would

[2:41:27] much rather give the opportunity for our economic development team

[2:41:33] and director clear Barnett's ... to speak to us about

[2:41:38] ... the economic

[2:41:40] implications of this proposal for the city of Brampton and

[2:41:45] provide us with ... ... ruble

[2:41:49] ... direction up the a briefing note that we all

[2:41:52] received late yesterday from them so that's it on to

[2:41:58] you through you chair to clear

[2:42:03] councillor and thank you for the question and the opportunity

[2:42:06] to speak about this investment or potential investment the economic

[2:42:10] development office in Fuzi artistically supports and recommends this relocation

[2:42:16] to downtown Brampton it really demonstrates a significant investment from

[2:42:21] an economic development perspective to downtown and also an incredible

[2:42:25] impact for innovation district

[2:42:28] through this development Brampton would retain a critical employer in

[2:42:33] our tech sector one of the largest employers and our

[2:42:36] tech sector as you heard from the delegation they are

[2:42:40] employing thousands of people around three thousand people in their

[2:42:44] Brampton facility currently we know many of those are residents

[2:42:48] of Brampton

[2:42:49] and so this ... development would help maintain and retain

[2:42:53] retain many of those high paying tech jobs in our

[2:42:57] city

[2:42:59] Rogers would also become the anchor business in our innovation

[2:43:02] district which is really critical for the next stage of

[2:43:06] the development of our innovation district we have been looking

[2:43:11] internationally to try and recruit ... an ad tech company

[2:43:15] to become an B. R. anchor tenant having Rogers a

[2:43:19] Canadian company B. R. tenant just makes it even more

[2:43:22] impossible for us

[2:43:24] the new Rogers presence downtown would also attract employees and

[2:43:28] talent from outside Brampton ... and really solidify our place

[2:43:33] within Canada's innovation corner and I think John Mel B.

[2:43:36] also mentioned the incredible location branch in being right in

[2:43:40] the center of the innovation quarter Canada's innovation corner this

[2:43:44] really really illustrates the importance of that geographic position and

[2:43:48] orientation district

[2:43:51] in economic development we measure the impact of an investment

[2:43:54] through jobs created jobs retained and the company's capital expenditure

[2:43:59] and by all of those traditional measurements this is an

[2:44:02] incredibly impactful investments I will say that also in economics

[2:44:07] about we don't count as an investment win intelligible is

[2:44:11] finalized signed and announced it as the downtown site really

[2:44:15] is the only one in our city being considered at

[2:44:17] this time I hope that we do show our support

[2:44:20] for the plans and certainly from an economic development perspective

[2:44:24] we enthusiastically support the plans thank you very much

[2:44:29] thank you very much ... clear and I think I

[2:44:32] will now yield to ... remainder members of council who

[2:44:36] are on the speakers list and I'll reserve my comments

[2:44:39] for later thank

[2:44:41] okay thank you councillor something next up is ... councillor

[2:44:46] Dhillon

[2:44:51] six hours ago yes well thank you so much ...

[2:44:55] I just wanna just ...

[2:44:59] ... thank god ... a job coming in today and

[2:45:03] see what thank Rogers is well actually ...

[2:45:07] work at Rogers my brother worked out well I had

[2:45:10] two brothers who worked at what is that ...

[2:45:12] enter campuses well ... it way back in the order

[2:45:16] ... well that the leader of six point is when

[2:45:20] you guys moved in and ... my brother was there

[2:45:24] at the time ... seven metric early ...

[2:45:27] my department that I was working and we moved in

[2:45:30] from Scarborough ... two Brampton and I know a number

[2:45:34] of all employees who were from Scarborough ... will probably

[2:45:39] by ...

[2:45:41] the experience of some of the most so

[2:45:44] all star will be probably the most proud of their

[2:45:48] ... where they live well I've ever met but this

[2:45:51] one a majority of them the majority but ... a

[2:45:55] large number of them I move to Brampton and ...

[2:45:58] you know they have the a lot of good to

[2:46:00] say about the city ... which I guess the word

[2:46:04] to similar story and

[2:46:07] ... the Rogers campus was home well Sir granting campus

[2:46:10] was it was a great campus ... you know they

[2:46:14] they gave so many jobs to so many people in

[2:46:16] Branson and the ... just the economically was such a

[2:46:21] a bigger player also the City

[2:46:25]

[2:46:26] so just charged a couple questions for you

[2:46:31] I guess it might be repeatable but hope they're you

[2:46:33] know they're not but ...

[2:46:36] you guys are asking for the M. zero four the

[2:46:39] actual Dixie location ... AA and

[2:46:44] you know what what discussions have you had in terms

[2:46:46] of getting the ... the lands in

[2:46:50] and ... in the downtown Brampton like what will surely

[2:46:54] in the residents of Brampton gets that you'll

[2:46:57] you know you're well

[2:46:59] you guys will receive these lands will problems

[2:47:04] thank you for the questions councillor done so in terms

[2:47:07] of the the the lands we have had very preliminary

[2:47:12] discussions with the Metrolinx certainly this part of Brampton ...

[2:47:17] we feel would be ... very very important ... in

[2:47:21] order for us to secure that that property so that's

[2:47:25] that that's the that's what part of the part of

[2:47:28] the resolution that we're asking for today that that Brampton

[2:47:31] support the provincial government ... would sell those ... the

[2:47:36] sell that property to us ... and I'm sorry can

[2:47:39] you repeat the question on the eighty two hundred sixty

[2:47:42] property

[2:47:43] so you've got to be Ms at all on the

[2:47:45] on the Dixie property is that correct yes that's correct

[2:47:49] yeah ... but if that would be Ms if the

[2:47:52] Ms at all was to be conditional on ... what

[2:47:57] the request from the Brampton the city in the Ms

[2:48:01] it'll be ...

[2:48:03] a conditional on that ... you know we get some

[2:48:06] certainty that ... the lands will be provided to you

[2:48:10] are you okay with that is that what you're is

[2:48:12] that what you're requesting as well

[2:48:14] yes I mean on the bottom line is Rogers wants

[2:48:17] to relocate our office downtown Brampton and stuff ... that's

[2:48:22] it it's it's a place that works for us ...

[2:48:25] it's a place that we believe will continue to be

[2:48:27] a great location to recruit ... ... technology employees and

[2:48:33] ... and on that basis ... that's why we want

[2:48:37] to invest well over a hundred millions of dollars in

[2:48:41] that in that location

[2:48:44] and I appreciate that and ... justice trying to speak

[2:48:47] with us much ... biases I can Rogers is a

[2:48:51] phenomenal ... organization ... you had a great time when

[2:48:57] I worked there again the family members their friends ...

[2:49:00] workers well and ...

[2:49:02] ... just the culture back to ... is ... within

[2:49:06] the Rogers itself ... I think there could be ...

[2:49:12] in addition to have this new building it in ...

[2:49:15] in downtown Brampton we've got to come to fruition and

[2:49:19] ... as you mentioned ... the times are changing a

[2:49:23] we have a a younger population that's ... ... extremely

[2:49:28] innovative and ... ... you know

[2:49:33] amazing ideas and ... I think you know everybody's in

[2:49:37] the innovation corridor I would be ...

[2:49:41] asset in addition and so quickly but I can definitely

[2:49:44] support this practice again ... do we just need a

[2:49:47] little bit more ...

[2:49:49] certainty and they're a little bit more ... medication from

[2:49:53] products so that this is gonna happen and ... but

[2:49:56] to really excited at the opportunity thank you

[2:50:00] thank you councillor Dhillon

[2:50:03] councillor Singh councillor Singh

[2:50:06] thank you thank you John for ... coming in to

[2:50:09] make your delegation thank you to all the delegations for

[2:50:12] providing your input ... it's an extremely exciting opportunity ...

[2:50:19] ... read through that and settled up look at some

[2:50:22] of the concept plan ... and ... you know it'll

[2:50:26] I think it'll have a huge impact for Brampton ...

[2:50:29] I just wanna

[2:50:31] yeah you know it's not for today but I just

[2:50:33] want to put it down for the minutes to flake

[2:50:35] ... for you for the future ... building on what

[2:50:38] Sylvia was saying I hope ... through this partnership in

[2:50:41] working together ... what we could to have Roger support

[2:50:45] it and I I hope ... advocate for some of

[2:50:49] our ... transportation projects because the benefit you as well

[2:50:52] and also we were talk about Queen Street B. R.

[2:50:55] T. L. R. T. ... you know hopefully if everything

[2:50:59] goes through ... hope that count of you as a

[2:51:02] partner to help advocate for those of you see it'll

[2:51:04] help your employees tremendously ... as well ... secondly as

[2:51:09] a guest I know they're just concept plans but I

[2:51:11] just wanted to also ... bring up the point that

[2:51:15] ... I saw the ... some of the high level

[2:51:17] of warehouse ... designs ... something that's been happening in

[2:51:21] my area it's the warehouses with some office space as

[2:51:24] well something to consider as well ... because ... warehouses

[2:51:28] tend to have a little bit lower the job of

[2:51:30] the with office space in there as well and ...

[2:51:33] it helps up those numbers and bring sort of a

[2:51:35] different type of job ... as well ... which we

[2:51:38] always appreciate with office space ... those are just some

[2:51:42] comments I want to make outside of that ... thank

[2:51:44] you for this proposal and ... look forward to supporting

[2:51:48] it thank you

[2:51:50] thank you councillor Singh yes certainly ... ... transportation was

[2:51:54] transferred up transportation projects ... Brampton BRT at the extension

[2:51:59] of the Hurontario LRT ... we see as very very

[2:52:03] important so you absolutely will have our support

[2:52:08] okay thank you

[2:52:10] okay next was council Bowman

[2:52:14] thank you through you Mr chair thanks very much for

[2:52:16] coming in John sounds like ... understanding proposal actually ...

[2:52:21] as a as a guy who was born and raised

[2:52:22] here Brampton I know how important it was when Rogers

[2:52:25] took over Nortel you know what

[2:52:29] a large piece of land that ... the city was

[2:52:31] really unsure about at that point but ... you made

[2:52:34] it very successful they are on

[2:52:37] I'm just wondering if anybody from planning can walk me

[2:52:41] through because you're playing for two Ms adults correct

[2:52:48] but rest yeah I just like planning to explain how

[2:52:53] how the city can agreed or names at all when

[2:52:57] when they don't own the land how does that how

[2:53:00] does that work and and how does that go through

[2:53:02] is there anyone from planning could explain that through the

[2:53:05] chair it Sir Richard we have ... we have on

[2:53:08] a person who's been really ... heading up the unsettled

[2:53:12] ... work to date on the line as well and

[2:53:15] you can speak to that but the key here is

[2:53:17] that

[2:53:19] the 2 ends of those are not

[2:53:22] jointly

[2:53:24] like coach went together thirst their separate land use applications

[2:53:28] ...

[2:53:30] yeah Allen can certainly speak to speak to the

[2:53:37] through the chair in response to the question councillor Bowman

[2:53:41] that alone persons here so it would work with respect

[2:53:44] to the zoning matters and and rezoning applications that's us

[2:53:47] city stuff typically to receive that many of that we

[2:53:51] we walk through and similarly here with that with Ms

[2:53:54] that ... requests no there is a there there isn't

[2:53:58] actually a a need for the the particular owner of

[2:54:01] the property to be the other the instigator of the

[2:54:06] any rezoning application your through to us through through the

[2:54:08] city and and likewise in the end zone over cost

[2:54:13] so in this case here with the downtown property in

[2:54:15] particular that were speaking to yeah we we understand that

[2:54:18] yes Metrolinx is sticker or of the property no there

[2:54:21] are arrangements that are being worked on now to ...

[2:54:24] towards a sale ... stucco the lands really this is

[2:54:28] what what is being walked towards but ... notwithstanding the

[2:54:32] fact that of Metrolinx themselves happens put forward a and

[2:54:36] I'm sort of a request that is not the audit

[2:54:39] that's not a necessity okay I have been hands in

[2:54:43] advance of the minister himself working towards ... and Ms

[2:54:47] auto a lot of really for for the site really

[2:54:50] nor would it be necessary for for council to we

[2:54:54] have a request your through to yourselves in other from

[2:54:58] from the current property owner in that respect either so

[2:55:01] just to speak to it at all a little further

[2:55:03] there are instances where ... the city of Brampton might

[2:55:07] very well want to see a lands rezoned ... for

[2:55:11] the common good of the city notwithstanding the fact that

[2:55:14] the ... Groner hasn't put forth request and so they're

[2:55:18] throughout the process to be had there and we can

[2:55:21] embark upon that and we have in the past but

[2:55:24] topic here with this Ms ... request a really coming

[2:55:27] forward Rogers knowing that to a land deal has to

[2:55:32] occur there's nothing that certainly with us from a from

[2:55:37] a

[2:55:37] the post a staff report that necessitates having that request

[2:55:41] be with us from the current land or

[2:55:44] with a clear spice things for you councillor Bowman and

[2:55:48] the rest council

[2:55:50] yeah

[2:55:51] and I just to follow up on that so

[2:55:56] what are the what are the risks in presenting the

[2:56:00] Ms that all without Metrolinx which is the land owner

[2:56:06] agreeing to change the zoning of their property are are

[2:56:12] are we running follow of any planning guidelines or

[2:56:18] I just don't understand it I know councillor Medeiros and

[2:56:22] cancer Fortini are the the planning guys here but I

[2:56:25] just don't under I still don't get how

[2:56:29] somebody can apply for a rezoning of someone else's land

[2:56:36] is this open for I don't

[2:56:38] you know in any case is open for Metrolinx at

[2:56:42] some point to say no we don't want to rezone

[2:56:45] the land is like what are we setting ourselves up

[2:56:47] for here through the chair it's and Richard about ninety

[2:56:50] and we've also got Bob jerking on the line the

[2:56:52] city is undertaking a comprehensive zoning bylaw update which really

[2:56:57] means that the city is working ... ... changing land

[2:57:01] use ... ... ... missions throughout the city so not

[2:57:06] necessarily having to have the specific land owner

[2:57:09] be part of the day they'll be part of the

[2:57:11] process in the sense of the to the open public

[2:57:13] process but

[2:57:15] the city is going for with the comprehensive zoning bylaw

[2:57:18] update on end and that's that's

[2:57:22] but certainly

[2:57:23] you know that's certainly what ... what the city is

[2:57:26] up to and then and then I think maybe Bob

[2:57:29] you can perhaps speak to how that approached us and

[2:57:33] yeah it the commissioner for if I could be helpful

[2:57:36] here I I did get a call from Phil Verster

[2:57:38] Metrolinx to express his support ... for this ... project

[2:57:43] with with Rogers ... ... if that's ... helpful cancer

[2:57:47] Bowman

[2:57:49] that's problems tomorrow they can write a letter of support

[2:57:52] for this and does well

[2:57:55] ... I believe they're doing that to the minister's office

[2:57:57] ... to be supportive of this opportunity with Rogers because

[2:58:00] it's within their interest of ... of what a what

[2:58:05] they like to see on their lands ... in so

[2:58:08] maybe we could ... ask for a copy of ...

[2:58:12] whatever correspondence they have sent the minister's office

[2:58:16] yeah I would appreciate that because I just wanna make

[2:58:18] sure all our ducks are in a line here because

[2:58:20] again we're we're going ahead with the numbers at all

[2:58:23] we're not having any public consultations on this ... and

[2:58:27] and you know they're there I I eat I just

[2:58:30] want to avoid the backlash that that could be had

[2:58:35] when things like this happen there's no question I want

[2:58:38] Roger downtown no question at all ... but I don't

[2:58:42] wanna have to jump through any hoops and and go

[2:58:45] through all sorts of extra steps that we didn't anticipate

[2:58:49] before we said yes to these ... settles so I

[2:58:51] I hope that's understood

[2:58:54] Mr Mayor perhaps I can just your of elaborate on

[2:58:56] what it mentioned before just to help respond to cancer

[2:59:00] Bowman here of further to what is mentioned before cancer

[2:59:03] Bowman the minister and really through all staff's conversations with

[2:59:07] the staff from the minister's office we understand that they

[2:59:11] work staff in the M. M. H. mistreatment this call

[2:59:15] person housing they they work very closely with the other

[2:59:18] ministry groups obviously and we come to understand the current

[2:59:22] level of detail as relates to the issues that the

[2:59:25] other ministries are putting forward so here with respect to

[2:59:28] the Metrolinx and having an understanding from them ... the

[2:59:32] local to support such a week we understand that yes

[2:59:34] that we're gonna be following up in a very detailed

[2:59:37] way up towards the receiving all of the comments and

[2:59:41] really that

[2:59:42] the minister of municipal affairs you would really want to

[2:59:44] have that inherent in advance of with him pulling the

[2:59:48] trigger on an action and and the middle here on

[2:59:51] the site and the disapproval of about as well I

[2:59:55] wouldn't foresee any issues with your changing of the zoning

[3:00:00] on Metrolinx is site you know even if it was

[3:00:03] that they were intent on per perhaps retaining this site

[3:00:07] for purposes but as owning change wouldn't hamper their ability

[3:00:11] to develop on that site you know given there are

[3:00:14] other with the crown status and some of the zoning

[3:00:17] changes on their sites doesn't

[3:00:20] it's hindered their ability to develop as the C. fits

[3:00:24] on on the property as well

[3:00:26] thank you

[3:00:27] okay thanks very much looking forward to it

[3:00:30] okay next up is councillor Dhillon

[3:00:39] it's just a neighbor

[3:00:42] okay councillor Willhans

[3:18:30] the wonderful outdoor amenities that we have in the city

[3:18:33] and distract from the help the share some great videos

[3:18:36] ... across ... the city on outdoor amenities and maybe

[3:18:40] folks didn't know about so it was ... and enter

[3:18:44] interesting exercise ... where

[3:18:47] we were ... going on the two position because the

[3:18:51] ... Park with cancer Fortini and Williams ... ... to

[3:18:54] bargaining with a counselor Palevsky Santos and the Sante ...

[3:19:06] showed me a snow showing with councillor ... Bowman and

[3:19:10] ... Maduro's ... going to an ice skating rink with

[3:19:14] councillor Singh and councillor Willhans that tells me that we're

[3:19:18] gonna find the V. across country as ski spot still

[3:19:21] the promoter I know cancer Dillon is a look at

[3:19:23] it and ideas well so everyone has stepped up to

[3:19:26] help showcase outdoor amenities which are great for mental health

[3:19:29] and physical health ... I should also note we hit

[3:19:34] a milestone in peel region we're now and over ninety

[3:19:36] percent vaccinated over twelve and we're gonna keep on going

[3:19:40] but that's a number that much of the world would

[3:19:52] all night session the doctor loaded ... last year well

[3:19:56] he's about to start another one it'll be an early

[3:19:58] ... February and I also want to think ...

[3:20:04] councillor thank members of council who have set an example

[3:20:07] I believe it's

[3:20:07] now official that everyone has declared their vaccination status and

[3:20:11] we have a council that is fully vaccinated and setting

[3:20:15] an example for the city that we believe in science

[3:20:18] and protecting our community so that's a quick COVID nineteen

[3:20:23] ... update I see there's a question from councillor Willhans

[3:20:30] yes

[3:20:32] Mr Mayor I'd stepped away and I didn't catch the

[3:20:34] end of lands presentation but I wanted to just reiterate

[3:20:37] the fact that this council didn't reconsider the motion I

[3:20:41] want to I'm wondering if staff can work with plain

[3:20:45] I work with them as well to send ... firm

[3:20:48] stance on the Boulevard through each ice back to the

[3:20:51] province has a little taken back by the media recess

[3:20:54] often brag meet us to carry on he and his

[3:20:57] stance on pushing the highway forward and not not entertain

[3:21:01] the thought of our ... Public Works what what that

[3:21:04] could be made like a letter sent from a public

[3:21:07] relations to the province the heart that our stance is

[3:21:10] still the Boulevard

[3:21:12] coming through thank you councillor Willhans ... let me see

[3:21:16] ... that I'd be happy to ... write a letter

[3:21:20] with the help of government relations to that effect ...

[3:21:22] she think we should give up on the Boulevard yet

[3:21:25] I had a conversation with problem it's a Korea ...

[3:21:29] I built that the letter I did that article in

[3:21:32] the guardian and he said those were old ... quotes

[3:21:35] that he hadn't spoken to the guardian in a in

[3:21:37] a month ... and ... that ... ... he would

[3:21:42] always help us a push a Brampton idea and he

[3:21:46] said ... he's not say never he just saying they're

[3:21:48] saying no right now ... in Seoul where we will

[3:21:51] continue to push and be relentless like we have another

[3:21:54] issues I continue to believe that the urban Boulevard is

[3:21:58] that the best approach and I would absolutely agree with

[3:22:02] your request to ... ... write a letter and aggressively

[3:22:06] pursue that

[3:22:09] I council

[3:22:12] thank you through you Mayor ... I'm not finished yet

[3:22:14] if you don't mind ... it's great single government relations

[3:22:18] but I'd like to have a staff of input staff

[3:22:20] from our planning for our planning process he did a

[3:22:24] lot of work this area I think there input should

[3:22:28] be great not just a letter coming to my public

[3:22:30] relations not for sure

[3:23:04] a good job of promoting and pivot thing to outdoor

[3:23:08] activities in the winter in Brampton that being said that

[3:25:37] business case to land around twenty or twenty one which

[3:25:40] is similar to the twenty eighteen nineteen and twenty twenty

[3:25:44] okay then that's that's where we sit right now right

[3:25:47] total incidents of twenty

[3:25:52] I see sixteen approved critical business cases so far correct

[3:25:56] correct

[3:25:57] okay in

[3:25:59] nine point one percent just through the first six months

[3:26:02] do you have an idea if that's gonna increase or

[3:26:06] not or critical traction number of employees in the next

[3:26:09] six months

[3:26:10] ... the chair ... I believe there was only one

[3:26:13] additional critical attraction

[3:26:16] for the second half of the year

[3:26:19] there was a lot of activity in the first six

[3:26:21] months did drop significantly ... in the last six months

[3:26:25] to a year

[3:26:26] okay this was so that'll put us up around ten

[3:26:29] percent of all the eligible employees received a critical attraction

[3:26:35] ... I don't want to call a bonus but appear

[3:26:40] through the chair it gets completed as the number of

[3:26:44] employees who were hired about midpoint

[3:26:47] new hires in that

[3:26:49] so eight it will increase ... that number slightly but

[3:26:53] it shouldn't be a significant increase I I believe it'll

[3:26:56] still be below are closer to nine percent

[3:26:59] okay ... does this is this just money it's not

[3:27:04] benefits it's it's just whatever Hey

[3:27:10] okay so the number that struck me in the reason

[3:27:14] I wanted to hold this was that the city is

[3:27:16] on track to exceed the average they've had for the

[3:27:19] past three years by about forty five percent and that's

[3:27:23] that's during the COVID years well is that

[3:27:26] at eight can you explain to me why we had

[3:27:29] that many ... that would put us such a such

[3:27:32] a far way ahead of the previous three years through

[3:27:36] the chair yes so based on just the activity from

[3:27:39] January to June we did have ... a higher than

[3:27:43] usual ... incidences for that six month period but that

[3:27:48] was definitely offsets in the last six months so that

[3:27:52] the total amount will be around twenty or twenty one

[3:27:54] for the full year and that's very much in line

[3:27:57] with the average from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty so

[3:28:01] since the inception of this program

[3:28:04] okay interest final question is do we do we have

[3:28:08] Saturday we keep stats on the number of critical attraction

[3:28:13] that we tried to keep and walks

[3:28:16] we we have been tracking the thought that ... something

[3:28:19] that we need to review our

[3:28:23] I think I don't have it right off the top

[3:28:25] of my head here by ten we we do monitor

[3:28:27] to see the effectiveness of those ads ... of you

[3:28:31] think that the people I talk to because

[3:28:34] okay I was just wondering if we had numbers of

[3:28:37] of people actually laughed because ... the the critical traction

[3:28:42] was not attractive enough for the

[3:28:45] so I guess we'll I guess we'll see those numbers

[3:28:47] another time okay thanks so much

[3:28:50] okay thank you councillor

[3:28:54] Bowman councillor the jurors

[3:29:00] thank you through you Mayor and and I will the

[3:29:02] one that says I think ... chargeable one touch on

[3:29:04] some of the points and we're gonna be getting a

[3:29:06] more complete information because I I I always have that

[3:29:10] in the issue around the critical traction aspect and ...

[3:29:14] again ... ... I got appropriate and stuff that you

[3:29:17] know what ... that that that idea that that it's

[3:29:21] very critical through positions ... maybe based on expertise or

[3:29:25] someone I just hopefully that we're not applying this term

[3:29:28] in a broad manner that it is a really skills

[3:29:31] specific and ... it's always relative on in terms of

[3:29:35] the view what's critical or not but ... it is

[3:29:39] concerning that there's been a ... an upward trend in

[3:29:43] the concern that the way ... let's say that ...

[3:29:48] ... these ... a promotion and additional salary increases are

[3:29:54] are given and I hope that they're not given in

[3:29:56] the like manner that there is scrutiny there is ...

[3:29:59] considerable discussion and there's trucks and balances us all like

[3:30:02] my council will not wait for a more fulsome report

[3:30:04] to come forward thank you

[3:30:09] okay thank you counsel here so ... I have a

[3:30:11] motion to receive his salary ministration policy similar into reporting

[3:30:15] moved by council Bowman second by council euros anyone opposed

[3:30:19] to this motion

[3:30:21] another motion carried

[3:30:23] now this takes us everything else is in consent all

[3:30:25] the way until

[3:30:33] for district council second thirteen point four and that's the

[3:30:38] only other item before we have in camera correct

[3:30:43] yes five referred matters and okay okay so ... I

[3:30:48] think we can do this item and then break for

[3:30:51] lunch and returned ... in in camera I don't want

[3:30:55] probably wondering ... what time we're going to take a

[3:30:57] lunch break so over to you councillor Santos

[3:31:05] thank you so much ... and through you ... Mr

[3:31:09] Clark ... I think I I just have some questions

[3:31:14] in regards to the warehouses property as a whole I

[3:31:17] know that during the budget discussion ... and in particularly

[3:31:23] with respect to the amended our budget ... to

[3:31:29] eight four D. at barn restoration out of reserve fund

[3:31:34] for there were other questions that were coming out of

[3:31:38] that discussion which I think are still unclear and I

[3:31:41] answered so I am I'm looking for more complete information

[3:31:46] regarding the property itself since it's located in ward one

[3:31:50] and since those discussions I've been and receiving questions from

[3:31:54] from residents but also non profit organizations ... seeking clarity

[3:31:59] and that I don't know for sure if staff were

[3:32:02] able to answer all these questions I think what I

[3:32:06] might be looking for is ... you know a more

[3:32:09] ... complete information report related just to the prepared house

[3:32:16] property as a whole I'm so for example just say

[3:32:20] you know questions to staff to do we know if

[3:32:23] the the entire property is designated just for heritage

[3:32:36] sure through to cancer Santos we need to have your

[3:32:40] key online Republican support and just took quite some information

[3:32:45] relating to the heritage planning matters on the site

[3:33:01] it's a three Mr it seems like Bob you perhaps

[3:33:03] isn't with us at this point in time notwithstanding because

[3:33:06] being noted in the participants walk one hundred if there

[3:33:09] if there is any stuff that's close to the the

[3:33:11] heritage matters here that's a second comments off on on

[3:33:14] the

[3:33:16] because they have I I do have some other questions

[3:33:18] but perhaps you could add that to the list ...

[3:33:21] for staff to get back to some clarity ... as

[3:33:24] well about how big the parcel of land is itself

[3:33:29] ... and whether or not only heritage buildings or structures

[3:33:34] can be put on that site ... and that and

[3:33:39] then my next question is just in general so we

[3:33:42] found out that the partnership agreement which ... I know

[3:33:47] that the city's enter negotiations right now which principle very

[3:33:50] house so I won't I will try my best not

[3:33:53] to you and talk about the negotiation but what was

[3:33:58] public was that the agreement ... has not been updated

[3:34:04] in about twenty years I just want I just want

[3:34:07] you to be to get clarification on that because there's

[3:34:10] back and forth this too when it was updated when

[3:34:13] it wasn't so

[3:34:14] when when was that last updated

[3:34:21] councillor Santos out through the chair it's a style ...

[3:34:24] to my knowledge the last terms of reference that was

[3:34:26] in front of council for approval and that we have

[3:34:29] been following is a two thousand and two terms of

[3:34:32] reference

[3:34:35] okay so for twenty years there wasn't an agreement that

[3:34:38] ... back to you the property again

[3:34:42] how many projects during those 20 years have happened

[3:34:50] like whether that's new buildings or I know there's a

[3:34:54] giggling the budget it said that there was a conceivable

[3:34:57] as well as the Pendergast log cabin ... are those

[3:35:01] the only two projects or were there other things that

[3:35:03] happened during the twenty years that that the partnership agreement

[3:35:07] was not updated

[3:35:21] yeah it means Barbara pardon me Sir it's very apologize

[3:35:24] council through the chair ... we we can we can

[3:35:28] provide a list two ... what's happened on the site

[3:35:32] over the last twenty years as it relates to city

[3:35:35] involvement don't have that available right now however we can

[3:35:39] provide that so ... if if that's fine with us

[3:35:43] we can send that information directly over to you

[3:35:47] yeah it if you can report that back to to

[3:35:49] council because I'd like to you know also get folks

[3:35:53] residents and and whomever we're asking these questions ... some

[3:35:58] clarity as well so you can add that to to

[3:36:02] the list of questions for clarification on this particular topic

[3:36:06] to come back to council when you have it I'm

[3:36:11] my other question is is the

[3:36:14] and this is not part of the negotiations for the

[3:36:17] updated agreement after twenty years but during the twenty years

[3:36:21] without that agreement do we know if if there were

[3:36:24] any financial audited statements that risks that are available are

[3:36:29] submitted because I checked the website I can't find any

[3:36:32] audited statements

[3:36:46] through the chair it's my parks again don't

[3:36:50] I honestly don't know that ... we have that information

[3:36:53] but ... let us look into that we can provide

[3:36:56] that information back to you okay thank you Mike and

[3:36:59] then I guess as we're talking about finances ... about

[3:37:05] about this property ...

[3:37:08] I'd like I know they were questioned about how how

[3:37:12] some of the projects were paid for and I know

[3:37:15] that the house burned it is currently budgeted ... for

[3:37:20] up to two million or sorry for up to one

[3:37:22] million dollars over the next two years ... and that's

[3:37:27] two capital reserve number four ... but is it do

[3:37:32] we know where the money came from for the other

[3:37:36] ... projects that were initiated on that property in the

[3:37:41] past thank you is there a specific line item that

[3:37:46] says standard has log cabin or gazebo how did we

[3:37:51] come up with the it just a little spending on

[3:37:54] those projects ... you know over the past few years

[3:38:08] hi again closer it's ... it's my park here I

[3:38:11] would I would defer that question to ... hopefully someone

[3:38:15] that might be on the call from finance that can

[3:38:17] maybe provide a high level response that

[3:38:26] okay I cannot censor

[3:38:32] yeah it's okay I mean they

[3:38:34] yep go head

[3:38:36] yeah through the chair council's ... mark marketers ... so

[3:38:40] the report projects approved ... throughout the years and I

[3:38:45] believe they were ... tax base funded so reserve for

[3:38:48] as well but through Mike's efforts in putting together a

[3:38:52] chronology of what's happened over the last twenty years we

[3:38:54] can identify the projects that supported that and the funding

[3:38:59] sources as part of that report by

[3:39:03] thank you and I think perhaps what would be ideal

[3:39:05] is also to take a look ... just so that

[3:39:09] for we have transparency and that you know ... Cleary

[3:39:15] ... with respect to what's been going on with this

[3:39:17] property because one point three million dollars according to the

[3:39:20] conversation in the budget has already been spent up to

[3:39:24] date on on the property to include those various projects

[3:39:28] that I had mentioned ... and and it would be

[3:39:32] great to get clarification on on you know

[3:39:37] how how those decisions came to be like if if

[3:39:41] all of these projects where the initiative of one organization

[3:39:47] that ... we don't even know if they submitted audited

[3:39:51] financial statements ... I'm also curious if we could find

[3:39:55] out how much revenue ... is generated from that particular

[3:40:01] property itself ... in addition to the other questions like

[3:40:05] whether or not it's only designated heritage to be on

[3:40:08] track ... yeah because I think they're they're just a

[3:40:12] lot of

[3:40:14] ... questions about the property and and and I appreciate

[3:40:19] that you know the majority of the of the vote

[3:40:23] was in favour to two painful or the at the

[3:40:28] barn reconstruction ... but I think that there are still

[3:40:33] some unclear answers related to what's been going on of

[3:40:38] the property as a whole especially you know concerning that

[3:40:42] for twenty years they haven't had an updated terms of

[3:40:45] reference or agreement so so in terms of transparency and

[3:40:49] accountability center I think I think we all went to

[3:40:53] the public ... some clarity and information on what how

[3:40:57] decisions have been made how many has been spent read

[3:41:00] these initiatives came from it's set for in the past

[3:41:03] I'm certainly getting it from residents in ward one and

[3:41:07] and some nonprofit organizing shoes quite frankly who have to

[3:41:11] go through a really vigorous pro status in order to

[3:41:15] access funds like me we just went through an entire

[3:41:18] debate about public art for example and how underfunded it

[3:41:22] is ... and I know that through advanced Brampton find

[3:41:26] many these nonprofit organizations have to it's a requirement to

[3:41:29] submit audited statements ... and it's concerning that in this

[3:41:34] particular case we don't even have a report yet in

[3:41:38] terms of how that the million dollars is going to

[3:41:41] be spent ... and and we don't even have a

[3:41:44] an agreement ... and yet the million dollars is past

[3:41:49] so so I just have one answer questions and and

[3:41:51] if staff can please come back with with a more

[3:41:54] wholesome TransCanada port on the property itself that would be

[3:42:00] greatly appreciated thank you

[3:42:04] thank you councillor Santos next up is cancer Whillans

[3:42:13] cancel

[3:42:15] Madeiros before me considers you in this item

[3:42:22] I believe is the previous item

[3:42:25] well I have an after concert Santos

[3:42:30] councilman Joe so you item or the previous one

[3:42:36] thank you okay council Hollins

[3:42:40] ... since the report coming back I would like to

[3:42:43] see also that report from our building designed to

[3:42:46] when we came up with the numbers was it based

[3:42:48] on a putting a rec center I like the building

[3:42:51] today because I know one of the building code I

[3:42:53] just wanna get clarification if the bar is not being

[3:42:56] used for occupancy ... there's totally there's a totally different

[3:43:01] set of building codes that are used obviously you've got

[3:43:04] to make it safe but the whole inside of the

[3:43:06] barn was not to be used for events as suggested

[3:43:10] by ... I think some members of staff it was

[3:43:13] not to be used for people who actually go through

[3:43:15] it it's more of a viewing area for the artifacts

[3:43:17] that are

[3:43:20] ... and ... yeah I think that's the only concern

[3:43:23] I would like to have I'm glad it's coming back

[3:43:25] because I still clarifications as well and I believe that

[3:43:28] the Blair house

[3:43:33] a lot of early stalls portfolio around twenty sixteen twenty

[3:43:38] seventeen we started to go up when we moved case

[3:43:40] from our sculpture and I think it one under community

[3:43:44] services and I think at that time the only thing

[3:43:46] that we were funding when you were a stationary bike

[3:43:49] ... and things like that to the need and I

[3:43:52] think the budget was very high so as I'm concerned

[3:43:56] ... as far as I know it between the two

[3:43:58] they're they they put back into the into the potatoes

[3:44:02] but I'm you know I could be wrong about that

[3:44:04] there will be a report thank you

[3:44:14] 5 councillor Bowman

[3:44:18] thank you very much for you Mister chair of them

[3:44:20] we certainly seem to have a preoccupation with the open

[3:44:23] house but that's fine ... Kelly what if I can

[3:44:27] ask what's the yearly budget for a principal there helps

[3:44:35] I cancel Bowman through the chair ... there isn't an

[3:44:38] annual operating budget for the friends of Americans I believe

[3:44:42] there is a operating budgets for the facility itself

[3:44:47] I was details well you don't have those can you

[3:44:49] bring those back if you if you can next time

[3:44:54] through the check out so we can ensure that's included

[3:44:56] in the list of details here okay

[3:45:00] Kelly Wallace the gotcha one of the one of the

[3:45:02] major issues we faced over the past twenty years with

[3:45:05] the with us

[3:45:15] I thank all the moment through that the chair to

[3:45:18] my knowledge there hasn't been ... major issues faced with

[3:45:22] their friends of Robert house we've been operating through the

[3:45:25] terms of reference from two thousand and two and we

[3:45:29] have been recently attracted by council to update that within

[3:45:32] you memorandum of understanding an operating agreement for the property

[3:45:37] so I can't speak to any ... concerns directly okay

[3:45:41] in in the in on all in favor of the

[3:45:42] actual you know I've been working with them over the

[3:45:45] past number of years to try and get agreement hammered

[3:45:48] out as well so ... I did I just wondered

[3:45:51] because it just seems that this is such a critical

[3:45:53] issue that you know for a for twenty years we

[3:45:57] haven't had any major issues up with an agreement that's

[3:46:00] been in place since two thousand two so I just

[3:46:03] wanna make that clear and thanks thanks Kelly Mike Mike

[3:46:07] parks

[3:46:11] you still there like

[3:46:13] through the chair I am councillor thanks who owns the

[3:46:17] house

[3:46:22] great question ... all the city the city so the

[3:46:27] city assets so how do we done anything to alter

[3:46:31] any of our city facilities over the past twenty years

[3:46:35] in any other city facility that you can think of

[3:46:38] you know something wasn't replaced

[3:46:42] ... through the chair certainly counselor ... we do have

[3:46:45] a fairly robust ... maintenance ... plan for all our

[3:46:49] facilities

[3:46:50] okay so for example ... the gazebo at the warehouse

[3:46:55] which was which was mentioned previously ... if someone from

[3:46:59] city staff went and saw that it was unsafe would

[3:47:02] would that be deemed to have to be replaced

[3:47:06] through the chair yes okay

[3:47:09] no that's it that's all I wanted only to report

[3:47:11] comes back to Mike thanks thanks very much

[3:47:17] Mr Mayor okay thank you councillor Bowman that's up Wisconsin

[3:47:20] Fortini

[3:47:23] thank you Mr Mayor think killed Whillans arts of the

[3:47:26] best some of my questions we just want to plus

[3:47:28] one more when we purchased as part

[3:47:40] councillor Fortini through the chair it's Mike parks ... as

[3:47:43] I recall it wasn't a purchase it was actually donated

[3:47:47] to the the city by the friends of a warehouse

[3:47:51] so we support the sister virtual have it stored and

[3:47:55] taken

[3:47:58] through the chair yes we ... we have it stored

[3:48:01] at one of our yard facilities ...

[3:48:04] ... in the west end of the city of Santa

[3:48:07] would ... Park we are yes so we supported to

[3:48:11] get started keep it stored at all and we keep

[3:48:13] going back and forth on this part yeah anyway always

[3:48:17] for the report to come back so thank you so

[3:48:19] much

[3:48:22] okay

[3:48:25] councillor Santos wrote a comment and the council plus you

[3:48:28] call the question okay so there's no question because there's

[3:48:30] no motion right three three research there is no motion

[3:48:34] there's some request that they've made from individual members that

[3:48:36] I presume staff for ... taking down but there's been

[3:48:39] no motion introduced

[3:48:41] okay then I would like to that M. and I'm

[3:48:44] wondering if it is clear enough based on the debate

[3:48:46] and discussion in terms of what information we are all

[3:48:50] looking for so just back to you I guess that

[3:48:53] might parks as well as Marc Madeiros and Kelly who

[3:48:56] were response finding two different questions if I moved a

[3:49:00] motion that a report ... regarding the apple fared house

[3:49:06] property based on this discussion and questions from councillors today

[3:49:11] be brought forward back to council ... and I'm wondering

[3:49:16] if we could have that information ... within the next

[3:49:20] month perhaps ... if that's a possibility I put that

[3:49:24] out to you to Mike and Kelly as well as

[3:49:27] mark and and perhaps that the whole team if based

[3:49:31] on the discussion you have enough information to come back

[3:49:35] with that what council is looking for

[3:49:40] through the chair ... it's my party and and I'm

[3:49:44] not to speak on behalf of mark and Kelly ...

[3:49:47] but I think that that's doable ... I think ...

[3:49:50] getting that direction from here today ... to have a

[3:49:54] report brought back ... will be helpful and then ...

[3:49:59] the team can get together and work or no preparing

[3:50:02] that report and having it back to our committee Council

[3:50:08] okay perfect thank you so much stopping for that that

[3:50:12] motion and perhaps Alaska ... I don't know whoever wants

[3:50:15] to second it sounded like cancer Bowman and cancer Fortini

[3:50:19] work and cancer Williams were in favor of getting this

[3:50:22] report back

[3:50:24] I can second

[3:50:26] okay councillor thank you to my partner okay councillor Bowman

[3:50:33] thank you very much for a second time

[3:50:36] but you know I'm not gonna support this motion only

[3:50:39] because what are we comparing this to this is a

[3:50:43] city owned assets so when we bring back a report

[3:50:46] on how much it costs to to mow the grass

[3:50:50] or or to ... you know to replace a gazebo

[3:50:53] for example because that's been brought up what are we

[3:50:56] comparing that to are we comparing it to every other

[3:50:59] single park that we or or ... recreation center that

[3:51:03] we own as a city why are we overlooking the

[3:51:07] fact that this is a city owned assets and that

[3:51:10] this has to be regarded the same way every other

[3:51:13] city asset is regarded so I I'm not gonna support

[3:51:17] this these answers can come back to us or or

[3:51:21] individually or as a group but I'm not gonna support

[3:51:24] sending stop away to come back with another report on

[3:51:27] the city asset when we've got nothing to compare it

[3:51:29] to in terms of all our other city assets across

[3:51:33] the across the city thanks

[3:51:37] okay councillor Fortini

[3:51:41] okay if it kills a woman spoke for me thank

[3:51:43] you

[3:51:44] I was gonna say the same thing

[3:51:49] I cancel Santos and cancer Santos I I would say

[3:51:52] that I think staff person back they can get that

[3:51:54] information to you may not need to be in the

[3:51:56] form of a motion any councillor is eligible to ask

[3:52:00] questions and get that type of information ... on their

[3:52:03] on their okay

[3:52:05] okay thank you very much ... so so if if

[3:52:08] I can ask just as direction to staff and to

[3:52:10] bring forward at a report on the property please that

[3:52:14] would be greatly appreciated ... I guess if that's clear

[3:52:17] then there is no motion that's required thanks for that

[3:52:20] clarification Mister chair and look forward to receiving that information

[3:52:24] okay that takes us to our correspondence

[3:52:29] we've dealt with that with every restaurant Mayor sorry Mr

[3:52:33] Mayor I'm on the board yes just regarding

[3:52:36] so that there's been ... and I asked for a

[3:52:40] report I councillors press there and ... opposition to a

[3:52:45] report we haven't voted on it and a member can't

[3:52:48] just ask for a report back to council when there

[3:52:51] hasn't been a motion so the member can get all

[3:52:53] the information to them like you rightly said ... they

[3:52:56] can write the stock what do not report has been

[3:52:58] requested to council maybe the city clerk advised ... you

[3:53:03] know as far as I know there's no motion for

[3:53:05] report back to council

[3:53:08] the report back I can get that information directly from

[3:53:10] stop as the member asking for the report back and

[3:53:13] get that information from staff directly yes that's what I

[3:53:17] was saying is there any member of council can get

[3:53:19] that information on their own it does it does need

[3:53:22] to be in the form of a a motion requesting

[3:53:24] a report

[3:53:25] but just to be clear we're not asking for any

[3:53:27] report to come back to council no motions but no

[3:53:30] motion's been task before in the report correct individual councillors

[3:53:34] can get the information they need correct and all the

[3:53:38] clerk there for that

[3:53:40] through you Mr Mayor there is no motion placed ...

[3:53:43] there are things that are referred to as council information

[3:53:46] requested a member may make a comment that triggers a

[3:53:48] request and staff we provide that information directly back to

[3:53:50] the member of council if direction is being given direction

[3:53:54] needs to be given in the form of a motion

[3:53:56] my advice is and based on what I'm hearing is

[3:53:58] there's been no motion introduced at this time so it's

[3:54:00] just a request for information that would then ... would

[3:54:03] be and ... staff would act identified that information provided

[3:54:06] back to the councillors

[3:54:08] I see the CEO just wants to speak on this

[3:54:12] great thank you Mayor so staff is coming back with

[3:54:15] the information related to this item generally speaking ... has

[3:54:19] been referencing some questions with respect to any partnership agreement

[3:54:23] ... we've been hearing plenty of questions so our intention

[3:54:25] is to be clear in terms of managing expectations we

[3:54:27] do need to come back to council to report on

[3:54:30] this matter and our intentions to answer as many or

[3:54:33] all of the questions as possible within that so the

[3:54:36] council's fully formed within their decision making framework ... we

[3:54:39] don't need a a resolution of council ... for direction

[3:54:43] on a report that we would need a motion of

[3:54:46] council direction that mobilizes resources so we're satisfied our intention

[3:54:50] and on previous direction from council already is to in

[3:54:54] fact come back I just want to manage expectations of

[3:54:56] this group not to be surprised when there is an

[3:54:59] agenda item we're providing this information and and ... on

[3:55:02] to go to council partnership agreements including some of the

[3:59:54] will count in the Fuhrman of

[3:59:57] hearing none there are no objections the motion carries our

[4:00:00] last item of business is item twenty one adjournment council's

[4:00:03] next scheduled to meet Wednesday February ninth twenty twenty to

[4:00:06] nine thirty AM and and then Mr Mayor sorry I

[4:00:09] just want to confirm I do have quorum present I

[4:00:11] don't know if I have it right now I see

[4:00:12] councillor I see yourself as a councillor Singh councillor Palleschi

[4:00:18] tell serviceontario

[4:00:21] councillor Santos

[4:00:24] councillor Bowman was the six member I don't see him

[4:00:26] present at the moment

[4:00:28] okay so we can't do German the ... week we

[4:00:31] cannot proceed until we we have quorum

[4:00:34] so all right item twenty one very dealt with all

[4:00:38] the way up until twenty one so if we don't

[4:00:41] turn does that make a difference

[4:00:43] ... no so the procedure bylaw we kick in which

[4:00:46] says that ... if we if we've lost corn we

[4:00:48] have thirty minutes to achieve quorum we don't achieve for

[4:00:51] like thirty minutes and then the meeting ends they're all

[4:00:54] the decisions up to that point are ... confirmed and

[4:00:57] in fact confirming bylaw ... carried as I understand this

[4:01:01] I understood we had a quorum present when that occurred

[4:01:04] and then anything that's not dealt with which there is

[4:01:06] no other business would carry over to the next meeting

[4:01:08] so theoretically if we don't achieve corpsman in ... thirty

[4:01:12] minutes then ... the meeting will turn on an adequate

[4:01:17] the solicitor automatically the

[4:01:22] the procedural rule should be to wait until we achieve

[4:01:24] quark as we should and the meeting properly but ...

[4:01:28] I don't know councillor Bowman has a

[4:01:31] connection issue

[4:03:00] ... ... be adjourned by virtue that there be no

[4:03:02] one there

[4:03:04] so I'm gonna ask all the members of council to

[4:03:05] sign off and that way we achieve adjournment

[4:03:12] it was no one yeah I would say for instance

[4:03:14] the form three stuff ... and then solution that's your

[4:03:18] decision I think I think man that's automatically change okay

[4:03:21] correction

[4:03:26] I believe we have to hang out for half okay

[4:03:28] you're right you're right this is the consent I forgot

[4:03:31] my guitar so I can't play for anyone sorry

[4:03:37] so

[4:03:46] all

[4:03:53]

[4:04:08] I had 30 minutes starting at 407

[4:21:44] it's time repair

[4:21:48] I can support you know hi notice that our four

[4:21:50] oh seven so we have to wait to four thirty

[4:21:53] seven that's thirty minutes ... for thirty seven

[4:21:58] is the 0 starter

[4:22:02] yes

[4:22:04] I think the CEO could probably aren't Smith's all stop

[4:22:08] right stop don't have to stay on for the next

[4:22:10] ten minutes

[4:22:12] so for you Peter sorry

[4:28:53] form

[4:28:55] it's four oh seven it is four thirty five there's

[4:28:57] two minutes left and then at thirty minutes ... were

[4:29:01] automatically injured

[4:29:08] the for your own interests the next scheduled meeting is

[4:29:10] February ninth twenty twenty two at nine thirty AM and

[4:29:12] after that March second at nine thirty AM

[4:29:20] members of council just as we are ... it's it's

[4:29:23] likely that we will not achieve quorum within thirty minutes

[4:29:26] ... I'm just gonna note for the record the members

[4:29:28] that are present so we have Mayor Brown ... we

[4:29:31] have councillor Alessi

[4:29:36] we have

[4:29:38] Ken serviceontario

[4:29:42] councillor Santos

[4:29:45] and councillor Singh

[4:29:55] and that is based on their ... connection to the

[4:29:58] webex ... virtual meeting platform

[4:30:13] okay 437

[4:30:15] so the meeting is automatically Germany lost quorum at four

[4:30:18] oh seven after we but when we attempted to pass
