[11:55] they wish to add. I see, we'll start with Councillor

[12:00] Keenan. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Mayor. So I'd like to

[12:05] add an announcement for the Brampton Summer Artists Market. I'll

[12:10] be done by Michael Vickers from the BAO. At this

[12:14] time, Mr. Chair, I'd also like to defer item 12.

[12:17] 1 and for 19. 1, the audit committee meeting minutes.

[12:22] I was meant to push it to the next meeting

[12:24] and I just got my dates mixed up. Sure. I

[12:27] know 12. 1 and 19. 1. 19. 1. Okay, and

[12:32] your announcement will be 6. 4. Thank you. Moving on,

[12:37] we have Councillor Brar. Thank you through you, Mr. Deputy

[12:42] Mayor. I want to add a discussion item regarding Mount

[12:46] Pleasant Parking. Thank you. Mount Pleasant Parking. Okay. To the

[12:55] clerk, would that be items 16. 2. Yes. Yeah, okay.

[13:11] Moving on we have Councillor Vicente. Thank you very much,

[13:15] Deputy Mayor. I'd like to add a discussion. I am

[13:17] in regards to Flower Town and Always Stop Request. Thank

[13:20] you. Okay, I'm assuming that would be items 16. 3.

[13:36] I don't see... Oh, I see Councillor Tour online. Thank

[13:43] you for you, Deputy Mayor saying. Um, sorry if I

[13:47] missed this part. I just got disconnected for a little

[13:49] bit, but I'd like to add two items to today's

[13:52] agenda. One is a notice of motion that I had

[13:56] emailed Madam Clerk regarding traffic signals at certain intersections. And

[14:04] there's also another announcement for the Brampton Summer Artist Market.

[14:10] From the Branton Arts Organisation. And perhaps if I can

[14:14] already sponsoring an announcement, but perhaps if another councillor would

[14:17] like to sponsor that. So if I could add some

[14:20] clarity on Councillor Tour, let me know if you're okay

[14:22] with this. Uh, so Councillor Keenan already added that Brampton

[14:26] Summer Artist Market, 6. 4. And the motion you want

[14:31] to add, you don't need that as a separate discussion

[14:33] item. There's already agenda item that's relevant. And we were

[14:36] going to bring it there. Uh, because it had to

[14:38] do with DC's. Sounds good. Okay. Thank you. Alright, thank

[14:42] you. Thank you. So we're not adding any of the

[14:44] items. I will bring the motion when the proprietary. Should.

[14:49] Help the object for. Civilization. No, we're going to bring

[14:51] that when the item related to that, and we'll bring

[14:55] that then. You can move it. Councillor Plus, she wants

[14:58] to speak to that as well. Okay. Eddie,

[15:07] courtesy, I'll add it. And it's a catwalk. I see

[15:13] it on here too, so she must have emailed maintenance

[15:15] of City Catwalk. So we'll do that at 16. 4.

[15:25] Sure. We'll add 6. 1 Proclamation for Caribbean Heritage Month

[15:28] as well. With both of us.

[15:45] Okay. We have a motion moved by Councillor Powers and

[15:49] seconded by Councillor Firtini to approve the agenda as mended.

[15:53] All those in favor. Motion carries. Declarations of interest under

[15:57] the municipal conflict of interest act. Does any member have

[16:00] a declaration of pecuniary interests under the municipal conflict of

[16:03] interest act for any matter to be considered on today's

[16:06] agenda? Councillor Keenan. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Mayor. Um, an

[16:11] abundance of caution. I'm going to declare conflict of interest

[16:14] on 19. 4. Reason being a formal family business was

[16:18] in litigation with the same insurance company. Sure. Sounds good.

[16:22] Um, that is so noted. Um, adoption of the minutes,

[16:28] uh, we have the following City Council meetings before us

[16:32] today, 4. 1 Minute City Council June 24, 2026. Does

[16:37] any member have any questions. I have a motion moved

[16:41] by Councillor Keenan and Secular by Councillor Plesci to approve

[16:45] the Minicize published and circulated, all in favor. Motion carries.

[16:50] Before moving on to the consent, I do want to

[16:52] acknowledge Councillor Mayor Brown and Councillor Santos were on the

[16:58] way and are on the way. And they were away

[17:01] for the opening of the Lululemon warehouse, which is the

[17:04] largest warehouse Lululemon has made in North America, bringing 1500

[17:10] jobs towards nine and 10. So thank you Councillor Santos,

[17:15] Mayor Brown and Councillor True will be here for doing

[17:17] the opening. We'll pass it on to Mayor Brown to

[17:20] move the consent motion. And I should note Councillor Deputy

[17:30] Mayor Singh, they had a rule. No one could wear

[17:32] a suit at the little lemoning, even bigger than their

[17:35] LA facility. Um, so, um, another exciting day for, uh,

[22:08] motion by the. Motion by the Deputy Mayor, seconded by

[22:12] Councillor Power to approve the consent motion. All those in

[22:15] favor. Motion carries. This takes us to announcements. Um, and

[22:20] we have a three announcements today for three proclamations. And

[22:27] the first is the Royal Canadian Legion Day. We got

[22:31] an exciting 100th anniversary coming up. And I know Councillor

[22:34] Keenan wanted the joy and privilege of reading this Proclamation.

[22:41] Thank you Mr. Mayor. Whereas across Canada, the Royal Canadian

[22:47] Legion celebrates his 100th anniversary. And Brampton, we recognise the

[22:51] significant milestone because we have two longstanding branches in our

[22:54] city. Brange 15 and Branch - 609. We also acknowledge

[22:57] the 100th anniversary of our local Legion Brange 15, which

[23:01] also celebrates a century this year. Branch 15 of Brampton

[23:06] has always had veterans and their families as a major

[23:08] focus. The branch has a history that is actually older

[23:11] than 100 years before them was the great war veterans

[23:14] association, which later became the Royal Canadian Legion we know

[23:17] today. Brampton's branch 15 is named after Major William DeWitt

[23:22] Chur. Major Sharp was a veteran of World War I,

[23:25] a doctor, and a town councillor. He also served as

[23:29] a national president of the Great War Veterans Association and

[23:33] was instrumental in forming the Legion. He has a street,

[23:36] a park, and a legion named after him in Brampton.

[23:40] What needs to be understood is that the veteran community

[23:43] in Brampton is growing and so are the effects on

[23:46] the families. Therefore recently two members of the Canadian Armed

[23:50] Forces have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the last 12

[23:53] months. And there are approximately 15 to 25 members of

[23:56] the Brampton Community currently serving in a hot zone with

[24:00] more being deployed in 2027. Therefore, I, Mayor Patrick Brown

[24:04] on behalf of Brampton City Council. Do you hear by

[24:06] Proclaim July 22nd, 2026 as Royal Canadian Legion Day in

[24:11] the City of Brampton? And recognition of the 100th anniversary

[24:14] of the Royal Canadian Legion and Brampton's major William Dwight

[24:17] Sharp, Legion Branch 15. And I know we have members

[24:21] of the branch here that may want to respond to

[24:23] the Proclamation. And by the way, they had a great

[24:30] candidate party on July 1st. And thank you Mayor for

[24:35] attending our candidate party. And, uh, we have Representative here

[24:39] from Branc 15. Um, and Brett Kick 09 also here.

[24:44] We thank you for the proclamation. Um, we thank you

[24:47] for the continued support that we have received. Not going

[24:51] to turn the last eight year, but the last 100

[24:52] years. Um, the league who informed 100 years and go

[24:56] because they were going to need to look after veterans.

[24:58] Unfortunately, they're continuing to be a need to look after.

[25:02] And Cole will be around for another hundred years. Thank

[25:03] you very much. Kenny Abramton. And we'll have a Proclamation

[25:11] to present to you when we finish the announcements. We

[25:13] do some group photos. Our next, um, Proclamation is Bill

[25:19] Davis Day. I can read this one out. Um, the

[25:22] honourable William Grenville Bill Davis, 18th Premier of Ontario was

[25:26] born on this day. In 1929. A lifelong and passionate

[25:30] resident Brampton. Mr. Davis served as Premier for a total

[25:33] of 13 years. From 1971 to 1985 making one of

[25:38] the longest serving premiers in Ontario history. As Premier, Mr.

[25:42] Davis created Ontario's first ever ministry. The environment he also

[25:45] oversaw the expansion of the Ontario Human Rights Code, as

[25:48] well as the Province's Public Health and Education sectors. Mr.

[25:52] Davis also played a significant role in patrioting the Canadian

[25:55] Constitution from the United Kingdom, adding to it a Canadian

[25:58] chart of rights and freedoms, which paved the way for

[26:00] the past in 1982. Prior to his term as Premier,

[26:05] Mr. Davis served as the Minister of University Affairs as

[26:08] well as Minister of Education. And in addition to greatly

[26:12] expanding public funding for education in Ontario, Mr. Davis established

[26:16] several new institutions, including a number of Ontario Universities. The

[26:20] Province's Community College System and the Educational Network TVO. Mr.

[26:24] Davis also served as a member of the Legislative Assembly

[26:27] of Ontario, representing Peel North from 1967 and 1975. And

[26:32] appeal from 1959 to 1967. Throughout the life, throughout his

[26:36] life, Mr. Davis has been a recipient of many awards

[26:38] and honours. He was invested in the companion of the

[26:41] Order of Canada, 1986, was appointed to the order of

[26:44] Ontario 1987. In November 2019, Mr. Davis was presented with

[26:48] Brampton's key to the city. As symbolic honour that a

[26:51] municipality bestow is on highly valued members of the Community,

[26:54] who have made a significant impact on the lies of

[26:55] residence. Mr. Davis effectually known as Brampton Billy, was one

[26:59] of her most beloved residents in Brampton, Ontario's most successful

[27:02] Premier, and the definition of decency. His legacy is one

[27:05] of profound accomplishment. And I would note, each yearum, Mr.

[27:11] Davis'birthday, even though he's no longer with us, we have

[27:14] a proclamation and a video that we do with Corporate

[27:17] Communications, just remembering what he meant to our city, to

[27:20] our province, and to our country. I don't see members

[27:23] of his family here, but we'll make sure this proclamation

[27:25] is shared with them. Um, our next proclamation, and I

[27:33] wasn't here when we were adding this. In other words,

[27:35] Request to add Caribbean Heritage Month. Did we do so?

[27:38] Great, wonderful. Um, Councillor Pelleshi requested the pleasure of reading

[27:44] out Caribbean Heritage Month. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Caribbean Heritage

[27:49] Month in Brampton is a fitting way to acknowledge people

[27:52] from the Caribbean who have arrived in Canada since the

[27:55] 1700s. The most recent data from Stats Canada 2021 census

[28:00] states that approximately 1. 6 million people of the Caribbean

[28:05] origin live in Canada. Many of them call Brampton home.

[28:09] Many Canadians of Caribbean origin or background have significantly contributed

[28:14] to the success in enrichment of Canada's economic social, political,

[28:19] and cultural fabric. Canada's home to the Toronto Caribbean Carnival.

[28:24] Formerly known as Caribbean. The largest festival of its kind

[28:27] in Canada. The festival was inaugurated more than 50 years

[28:31] ago. It showcases and promotes the culture and contributions of

[28:35] Canadians, of Caribbean origin, and has established a significant presence

[28:39] in the culture, economic landscape of Canada, including Brampton. This

[28:43] year, Senator Paulette, senior, introduced Bill S. 248 45 -

[28:50] 1. An act - respecting Caribbean Heritage Month in the

[28:54] Senate of Canada. It has passed second reading and it's

[28:57] on its way to being recognised across the country. This

[29:00] is Brampton's opportunity to show its leadership by acknowledging it

[29:04] now. With July 6th being Kericomb day, it is fitting.

[29:11] It is a fitting tribute to the entire Caribbean Canadian

[29:14] diaspora to recognise July as Caribbean Heritage Month and officially

[29:18] be added to the caretakers of the cultures, official calendar

[29:22] of dates of significance. On behalf of Mayor Brown City

[29:26] Council do hereby proclaim July 2026 as Caribbean Heritage Month

[29:31] in the City of Brampton. Thank you Council Plus. You

[29:41] do have a representative. Great to respond to the Proclamation.

[29:48] Good morning. If I'd like to just start off by

[29:51] thinking all of our servicemen here and women, obviously, um,

[29:55] for the hundred years, Centenio, it's probably a great honour

[29:57] for us to share the space with you. And thank

[29:59] you, City Council, of course, Honourable Patrick Brown for extending

[30:04] this great honour. Um, your leadership Brampton among the municipalities

[30:08] of our country continue, um, to, to, to be celebrated,

[30:13] um, to actually extend this great honour of recognition to

[30:16] the Caribbean members of our Canadian Society is a great,

[30:22] great honour. And to share it with the Somalian community

[30:25] with July being recognised as Somali, months, heritage month, um,

[30:30] the connection between the African and the Caribbean Community should

[30:33] never be lost. We do accept this proclamation on behalf

[30:36] of the indigenous communities of the Caribbean from the Taino

[30:40] to the Carebs, to the Maroons, to the generations that

[30:43] have come before us that have paved the way such

[30:45] as the Honourable Gene Augustine and Dudley Laws on behalf.

[30:50] Even the Rastafarian community that not only wore their Caribbean

[30:54] heritage on their sleeve, but their hair attached on their

[30:58] head of, you know, introducing, um, this world to our

[31:05] world. And so we thank them for their sacrifice. Uh,

[31:09] you mentioned the CARICOM day and we did get word

[31:12] from, uh, The Council General of Grenada who wanted to

[31:15] express his immense pleasure and pride and applaud the City

[31:18] of Brampton for proclaiming this month of July as Caribbean

[31:21] heritage month. And we, uh, also acknowledge the fact that

[31:25] the senator senior was mentioned. And we do accept this

[31:30] on behalf of her advocacy, uh, in the Senate to

[31:32] make this a federal holiday. And the organisations on the

[31:35] ground, like the Indo - Caribbean Association and many others

[31:38] who are mobilised the country to make this a federal

[31:41] acknowledgement, um, so in conclusion, um, we want to send

[31:45] this out with a little bit of Caribbean vibes. Everyone

[31:48] know one love by Bob Murley. We got 45 seconds

[31:50] of one love. We're going to actually, um, not only

[31:53] play it, but we're going to actually bring the Caribbean's

[31:57] contribution to the instrument world, the still pain. We have

[32:00] one of the specialists in the world of the whole

[32:02] world. Sudden Vidal, who was going to play, uh, one

[32:06] love, um, and in honour of the one love movement,

[32:09] we're happy to have with us our very own one

[32:11] love, um, Jubilee ambassador, Liberty Silver, who's also the emancipation

[32:16] month queen, um, of Canada. And we're going to invite

[32:20] Miss Trinidad and Tobago, um, please come join us as

[32:23] we sing one love and spread this one love around

[32:26] Canada all coming from Brampton. All right. Are we ready.

[32:29] All right. So that Vidal, are you ready? One love

[32:35] living silver. The microphone.

[36:02] focus is helping on Brampton Entrepreneurs, including the arts. -

[36:06] based businesses and businesses that are looking to accelerate and

[36:10] grow within our community. Next slide, please. Starry Company supports

[36:32] and Growth Strategies. Last year we had about 180 individuals

[36:37] participate in the training, showing a strong demand of entrepreneurship

[36:41] support here in Brampton. Next slide, please. Participants receive

[36:51] Business Development Training Mentorship and the Opportunity to Apply for

[36:54] a 5, 000 dollar requirements. In 2025, uh, we provided

[37:03] 175, 000 dollars in direct grants to 35 Businesses locally,

[37:09] approximately 90 percent of those businesses were within our BIPOC

[37:13] community. Estimation of the Economic Impact of that was roughly

[37:22] 300, 000 dollars within our community from those 35 businesses.

[37:28] Next slide. In 2026 intake, we are excited to announce

[37:34] a new art stream, the program will be delivered through

[38:32] slide. So if anyone that's interested in the program, I

[38:45] the mayor and council. Please watch their social media. We,

[38:50] our team will be tagging you. If you can share

[38:51] it to the community, through your channels. Thank you. Thank

[38:56] you, Daniel, for your great work. No problem. Um, our

[39:00] next, um, announcement is Brampton Rising Stars, the Council sponsor

[39:05] for this is Regional Councillor Br, and we have the

[39:09] wonderful Reverend Blessing. Agile, please come forward to the podium.

[39:13] You have two minutes.

[39:27] Good afternoon everyone. I'm excited to stand here today to

[39:31] update and announce the upcoming season three of brand new

[39:36] rising stars. The team DCA is talent with our border.

[39:42] I want to say that Rampy Rising Star season 3

[39:44] is a multinatural multicultural, youth talent shoe, futuring contestants in

[39:50] Ontario. Beyond, and we are excited to showcase Brampton as

[39:56] a talent city, Diversity, Creativity, locally, nationally and internationally. And

[40:04] Brampton with auditions that we have completed, one would say

[40:08] that we are looking forward for the semifinal on July

[40:11] 26. And the Grand Finale on the August 29th of

[40:16] August at Durostia. I want to say that, um, I'm

[40:23] very grateful for current this initiative. I mean, bringing Brampton

[40:28] to a place where families and many, um, people in

[40:35] different city has not identified Brampton as a city that

[40:40] embrace diversity and inclusion. I want to thank the mayor,

[40:44] the members of the Council on Tank my Councillor, Councillo

[40:50] Brun, who has been leading forward for this. And also

[40:54] the supporters, but now families and volunteers who have continually

[40:58] supported us. And we invite everybody to join us again

[41:03] for this season. And we look forward to see everyone.

[41:07] Please, the ticket is available at the Roasterra. Thank you.

[41:13] And we're going to play our video. Thank you. Blessing.

[41:19] We have a question from Councillor Brawl, and I would

[41:21] note that both your councillors, um, are rising stars. I

[41:25] think if you need someone for music or dance, uh,

[41:27] that date, you can rope in Councillor Pelesci and Councillor

[41:31] Barr. Um, over you do account for. No, thank you

[41:35] through you, Mr. Mayor. Um, definitely, yeah, singing would be

[41:38] definitely something, um, a talent we would be right and

[41:41] maybe Councillor Plesh will be the dancing. We've seen on

[41:43] the weekend for sure. So I just want to say

[41:47] thank you Reverend Blessing for coming in here because I

[41:50] know you, um, make a platform for these young youth

[41:55] to make sure that they have, um, they are able

[41:58] to shine, grow and actually, um, share their gifts with

[42:02] the community. So thank you for giving them that platform

[42:05] because if it wasn't for you, where would they go?

[42:07] Right. And that's the opportunity that Brampton gives young rising

[42:11] stars to grow out of Brampton. So Councillor Plascino are

[42:14] very happy to have you as a residence, but also

[42:18] making sure that you are always in the community and

[42:21] uplifting others. And just want to mention, do you do

[42:23] where a lot of hats and you do where you

[42:25] do actually write books. You do a lot of sessions.

[42:29] So, um, thank you for doing this. You're a busy

[42:31] schedule. Thank you. My video. Not valuable. We're seeing if

[42:40] we can get the video. Stars, he's back. This is

[42:47] season three. So we're missing different talent intense music. Instrumentation.

[42:57] Book of work and many more. On your face. You

[43:01] were actually just enjoying the song. Do you have what

[43:11] it takes to be the nest rising star in Canada.

[43:14] They and the space you use the prop, the career,

[43:18] everything. I'm in awesome. They logged into www. Franchific. And

[43:27] yet the opportunity. This is your time.

[43:50] It's too realistic. Visit www. Brampton Rising Stars. CA. Registration

[43:56] Closes 24th of May 2026. For sponsorship is called the

[44:01] following number. In stars is brought to you by Black

[44:09] Community Council Television. And powered by GR Studios.

[44:20] The Artist Risen. Stars. It's time for the stars. The

[44:24] last. One.

[44:41] Okay. Thank you. We also have an added announcement from

[44:45] Councillor Keenan, The Brampton Summer Artist Market. I believe Michael

[44:49] Vickers is here. To share that news.

[45:03] Good morning everyone. Good point Mayor Brown and members of

[45:07] Council. I'm joined by local artists Megan Limb, one of

[45:10] the Event Planners for this year. On behalf of Bao,

[45:14] Brampton Hearts Organisation. I'm excited to invite you all to

[45:16] the Annual Brampton Summer Artist Market next Sunday, July 19th

[45:20] from 10. 3am to 4pm at Brampton Library Springdale Branch.

[45:24] Since 2022 bow has organised summer and winter markets each

[45:28] year, welcoming roughly 1, 500 visitors to each one. These

[45:31] markets have become an important opportunity for residents to discover

[45:34] and support local artists, creative entrepreneurs, and organisations while keeping

[45:39] those dollars in our local economy. If each visitor spends

[45:43] roughly 50 dollars and I know many spend much more,

[45:46] some of you have attended and I know invested in

[45:49] lots of local art. That amount is to representing half

[45:52] a million dollars directly into the pockets of local Brampton

[45:55] Artisan Businesses. This year's market is our biggest yet featuring

[45:58] a record 41 different vendors. Uh, the Return of our

[46:02] Popular Youth Market, the free family activities, and a lot

[46:06] of live music, uh, special thank you to local artist

[46:09] Megan, who I mentioned alongside Bianca Delmar and Carlener Jane,

[46:13] who have brought this addition to life and made it

[46:15] their own. Alongside our support is that the library, perhaps

[46:18] an entrepreneur centre and the cultural services team. Whether you're

[46:22] looking for original artwork, instead of getting a poster from

[46:24] Ikea or just a fun day out with a family,

[46:27] there's something for everyone. I encourage everyone to come out,

[46:30] support local creativity and experience the talent our city has

[46:32] to offer. Thank you so much and look forward to

[46:35] seeing you there. And I believe we have Councillor Tour

[46:43] online with a question. Thank you Mayor Brown. I just

[46:48] want to thank the Brenton Ortoganization and similar to Beck's

[46:52] summer youth market. Uh, this artist market is fantastic. Some

[46:56] of the most cherished items that I have as a

[46:58] family, uh, were, you know, from the summer artist market

[47:02] and from the winter artist market, we have the cutest

[47:05] family portrait, uh, drawn by a local artist. And, you

[47:10] know, it's amazing to see all the resins come out

[47:12] and enjoy this. So I encourage everybody, uh, bring some

[47:15] cash supporter, local artists. And you will find things that

[47:19] you are going to treasure for the rest of your

[47:21] life. Thank you. Wonderful. Thank you. Thanks very much. Okay.

[47:27] Now before we go to delegations, we're going to take

[47:30] some photos with those that are here today for announcements.

[47:33] If members of the Council could join me up front.

[51:41] Okay, we are now at the point of delegations, which

[51:43] is 7. 1. And I'm informed that, um, delegations two

[51:50] and three have been removed and we will have one

[51:53] delegation from Kathleen McDermott. A passionate advocate for veteran enforced

[52:01] bylaws in Brampton. Thank you for being back at the

[52:05] Council Chamber. Good morning Mayor Brown and members of Council

[52:10] today. Thank you again for the opportunity to speak. As

[52:15] one of the delegates who appeared before Council on June

[52:18] 17th, I'm here again today to speak on behalf of

[52:20] all seven of us as well as the many of

[52:24] the residents we represent. We were all very surprised to

[52:28] see a staff report listed on today's agenda to be

[52:31] presented to Council as a response to our delegations. Given

[52:35] that this report is intended to address the concerns raised

[52:39] by the delegates on June 17th, we believe that the

[52:42] delegates should have been given an opportunity to provide input

[52:46] into its development. In doing so, would have helped ensure

[52:49] that our concerns were accurately reflected and more importantly, meaningfully

[52:54] addressed. Unfortunately in its current form, all seven of the

[52:58] delegates have significant concerns with the Reports content as we

[53:02] do not believe it adequately response to the issues we

[53:05] raised on June 17th. We would also welcome the opportunity

[53:11] to collaborate on the development of the terms of reference

[53:14] for the proposed roundtable as well. Resident and delegate participation

[53:19] in the creation of the terms of reference will help

[53:22] facilitate a very important client perspective as we are key

[53:26] stakeholders and as frequent users of By - Law Services.

[53:32] Collaboration with the Residents in its creation will also help

[53:34] ensure that all stakeholders are represented in a meaningful and

[53:38] balanced way. Moving forward, we believe the round table is

[53:42] an incredibly positive first step toward improving enforcement services. And

[53:47] we all look forward to working collaboratively with Council, with

[53:51] staff and all stakeholders on this extremely important initiative. Please

[53:56] do not hesitate to reach out to any of the

[53:58] June delegates, June 17th delegates, if additional discussion or resonant

[54:02] input would be helpful at any time. We're always very

[54:06] willing to contribute our time and our experience to help

[54:10] identify practical improvements in this process. The seven delegates together

[54:14] with the many residents, we represent across Brampton remain very

[54:18] committed to working together, working constructively with Council, and all

[54:24] of staff to improve the effectiveness of enforcement and by

[54:27] - law services. Our intention and shared objective is and

[54:32] always has been to improve the quality of life of

[54:35] Brampton Residence. So thank you for your time in this

[54:38] matter. Okay, we have Councillor Keenan on the board and

[54:44] Council Maduro's. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Um, and thank you,

[54:49] Captain, for coming into delegate yet again. Um, so I

[54:52] do agree and I'll ask if Councilwound just to bring

[54:55] forward report 10. 2. 2 at the same time. Um,

[54:58] so I can just address your delegation, uh, with that

[55:02] report. Um, so I think it's very important. I think

[55:06] that, um, all the delegates that came in on the

[55:08] 17th definitely is what started this roundtable. So, um, I

[55:11] would love to give those delegates the opportunity to be

[55:14] part of how it comes. But I also want to

[55:16] take a second to thank staff for how quick you

[55:18] brought something back because we know that we really want

[55:21] to get moving on this so that we can actually

[55:23] have tangible changes being made. Um, so, uh, I will,

[55:28] um, I would like to defer this, um, delegation and

[55:31] that report back to staff to have a little bit

[55:34] of communication with, um, the seven delegates that came in.

[55:37] Just either be it understanding of how we're going to

[55:39] do things or have their input into how things can

[55:41] be done. Um, so if I could do that at

[55:43] this time, Sumario would appreciate it. Oh, after speakers. After

[55:47] Councillor Maduro's encounter Santos Madros. Uh, thank you for your

[55:51] Mr. Mayor. Uh, yeah, that's what I was going to

[55:53] say Councillor Keenan. I think you, Kathleen, I think those

[55:56] were very thoughtful comments. And, you know, one thing sometimes

[56:00] we lose perspective, uh, when we write some of these

[56:03] is that not getting that sort of, uh, feedback from

[56:07] the community, which is intended to, uh, enhance. So I

[56:11] support the referral back to staff. Uh, and maybe, uh,

[56:15] as part of Staff's consideration, if we can do maybe,

[56:18] uh, an engagement of some sort consultation, um, you know,

[56:22] get everyone in the room and get that feedback and

[56:26] ensure that we're getting something that's reflected in the community.

[56:28] So thank you very much for coming forward. Thank you.

[56:31] Councillor Santos. Thank you through you, Mr. Chair. And I'd

[56:36] be happy as another area councillor who has similar issues

[56:41] that were brought up by the delegations to second the

[56:45] referral if you need that. But, um, I always believe

[56:48] that when there is a problem, a major challenge like

[56:52] this that we continue to over and over again, improve

[56:55] and enhance. And again, also thank you to the staff

[56:58] for bringing it forward quickly that it only improves when

[57:02] we engage residents who have been so, um, engaged in

[57:07] the process. Whether that's, you know, testing out the new

[57:11] 311 update and refresh that we're doing before we launch

[57:15] it or doing things like this, particularly when it comes

[57:19] to the RL program and Bylaught Improving By - Law

[57:22] Enforcement, this type of input is super important. So thank

[57:26] you for speaking up about that. And I know that

[57:28] at the end of this process, it's probably going to

[57:30] be even better. Thank you. We actually work very closely

[57:33] with the 311 team and they've been absolutely fantastic with

[57:36] helping us improve and take our comments and do excellent

[57:39] communication and follow up with us. So I know it's

[57:41] possible. Okay. Um, and all Councillor Keenes, but I refer

[57:46] this back just to say hopefully in this report, we

[57:49] can lean into some of the punitive abilities we have,

[57:55] I find, when we have negligent landlords, one of the

[57:57] ways we force compliance is when it becomes increasingly punitive

[58:00] for them to ignore, um, the city, the lean on

[58:04] properties, the putting the additional fines on property taxes. Those

[58:08] are tools that I find to be particularly efficient for

[58:10] the negligent, um, landlords. And I know there's a lot

[58:14] of concern about some particular negligent landlords. And so how

[58:18] we can deal with them collectively within the tools we

[58:21] have as a city. Um, Councillor Keenan, if you want

[58:23] to move the referral. Oh, sorry. We didn't have accounts.

[58:29] But now we have Councillor Pleshy and Deputy Mearsing. Thank

[58:32] you, Mr. Mayor. Um, just two staff on the referral

[58:35] and happy to support it. But in the report, it

[58:38] does talk about the pilot that we were implementing. And

[58:42] I don't want that being pushed it at all. Um,

[58:46] can I have some kind of, um. Confidence that the

[58:51] pilot will be happening and the enforcement that's currently taking

[58:53] place. But, um, you know, we're, we're looking at, uh,

[58:57] making any of those changes that need to be changed.

[59:00] Through you, Mr. Mayor, so as far as the round

[59:02] table, we have time to consult with the Citizens through

[59:06] the summer. So we'll make sure that that is completed.

[59:10] The other items in the report were summary items that

[59:13] will also be reflected in the September update report. Okay.

[59:16] All right. I don't know if that answers my question.

[59:19] Sorry. Um, the pilot that, um, that we were, that

[59:24] we were implementing for, uh, certain areas in Brampton, um,

[59:29] the report does touch that, um, the environment, the enforcement

[59:35] pilot and the enforcement pilot services round was part of

[59:39] that round table. But I want that work to at

[59:42] least, uh, begin prior to and essentially we'll get some,

[59:48] some direction from the round table. But I want that

[59:51] pilot at least to be implemented. Three of you, Mr.

[59:54] Mayor Council, plus you're speaking of the focused ward specific,

[1:00:00] that pilot's already started. So yeah, we're good on that.

[1:00:02] Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Deputy Merrison. Thank you.

[1:00:08] And thank you to coming to delegate for the roundtable

[1:00:13] hoping compass of the all boards because we have similar

[1:00:16] issue then where it's nine to 10 as well. And

[1:00:18] I hope to have a few residents on that, uh,

[1:00:20] round table. Um, my thought process with the round table

[1:00:24] is, you know, finish off the term with the round

[1:00:26] table, but I like to see a committee being formed

[1:00:29] a Citizen Committee. And maybe that's something the round table

[1:00:32] can morph into eventually. And I'm not going to put

[1:00:35] a motion or nothing, but that's sort of the direction.

[1:00:37] And if you're okay with that, maybe your thoughts, but

[1:00:39] I'd like to see it continue next term for four

[1:00:42] years. Um, and that's a good avenue to sort of,

[1:00:45] um, air out the agreements and see where we can

[1:00:48] move forward. Just one of your thoughts, what you thought

[1:00:50] about that. Um, if it doesn't happen by this Council

[1:00:54] term, um, I will definitely be back to delegate again

[1:00:58] to make sure that it does happen. So yes, I

[1:01:00] mean, I understand it's at the start. It's not the

[1:01:03] finish. So we're beginning to work collaboratively, I think, and

[1:01:07] have bidirectional communication. That's what we're looking for as a

[1:01:11] result. So whether you call it a round table, a

[1:01:13] task force or a committee, we just want to have

[1:01:16] all words represented because I think all words have the

[1:01:19] same pain points. So thank you. Thank you. Councillor Keenion,

[1:01:25] I want to move the referral now. I'd like to

[1:01:32] move that reflow, Mr. Mayor. Okay. Back to Staff. All

[1:01:36] those in favor. Motion carries. Second by Councillor, Devin Mersing.

[1:01:42] Um, this takes us to, I believe, 10. 21. And

[1:01:47] this was held by Deputy Mayor, or is it the

[1:01:51] Councillor Blushe? Deputy Mayor. Proposed Open House signed by Law.

[1:01:55] Obliquing for my colleague, cause I talked to him. Um,

[1:01:59] I, I think just, um, listen, thank you to Staff

[1:02:02] for everything. Uh, it's okay. It's okay. Thank you to

[1:02:05] Staff for everything. Um, it's, uh, you've worked hard. You've

[1:02:10] done consultations on this. And we're appreciative. I think we're

[1:02:14] almost there. But I'm just going to send it back

[1:02:16] for further consultations because we heard some things last minute

[1:02:20] that I thought were fair points. Um, and, uh, and

[1:02:24] we just want to get it right. Because once we

[1:02:26] implement this, then, you know, we don't want to create

[1:02:29] Bylaws. We're going back and revising. We've seen that happen

[1:02:32] a few times. So, um, I will move, uh, move

[1:02:36] if Councillor Pleshy is okay with that, uh, to just

[1:02:38] refer it back to staff for further consultation. Another round

[1:02:42] table just to get it right. And then, um, we

[1:02:44] can adopt it at that point. Thank you. Would this

[1:02:47] be for August meeting? Uh, I don't think I want

[1:02:49] to put a date. Cause we'll, we'll, we'll keep up

[1:02:51] to date with. Okay. Councillor Bleshing. Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

[1:02:56] Um, and this all started from agents ask, we're talking

[1:03:01] about the real estate. All started with agents coming and

[1:03:04] asking us force for something. Now we're hearing from other

[1:03:09] agents saying, well, why are you attacking us and why

[1:03:11] are you, we're not attacking. We're on anybody. We all

[1:03:14] want to get this right and do what's right. We

[1:03:17] have a ton of real estate agents that, um, that

[1:03:22] grab sponsorship ads through transit, uh, where else through the

[1:03:26] City of Brampton. So it has to be a level

[1:03:27] playing field. And I think that's essentially what we want

[1:03:31] to do. And most importantly declutter some of the intersections

[1:03:35] that are inundated with open house signs or any kind

[1:03:39] of signs. So we need some, some law and order

[1:03:43] in that field, but where I'm happy to have this

[1:03:46] go back and have those discussions with, uh, with some

[1:03:50] of the people, make sure that they're doing things right.

[1:03:53] Not only that, but the good real estate agents in

[1:03:57] Prampton, um, that educate new homeowners about, you know, what

[1:04:03] they need to look out for and what they need

[1:04:04] to make sure that they have when they're purchasing a

[1:04:08] house. But there are some that don't do that. And

[1:04:12] whether it's they need to be educated, educate the educator,

[1:04:16] um, I want this, that to be a part of

[1:04:18] it as well. I want real estate agents to ensure

[1:04:22] that, you know, when they're selling a home in Brampton,

[1:04:25] that they're educating their, their clients on what, you know,

[1:04:29] the roles and rules and responsibilities are of home ownership

[1:04:32] in the City of Brampton. And I think that's important.

[1:04:35] I think a better, you know, puts them a little

[1:04:38] bit forward in terms of, uh, becoming a better agent.

[1:04:42] And if, uh, if we can provide that ability, then

[1:04:45] I'm happy to help and support. So, um, I think

[1:04:48] that referral going back to staff and then us coming

[1:04:51] up with some kind of strategy on how we get

[1:04:53] everybody together. If it's multiple, um, discussions, then we're happy

[1:04:57] to facilitate that. But in terms of a timeline right

[1:04:59] now, um, I'll convert to, uh, have a discussion with

[1:05:05] Deputy Mayor and we'll, we'll have a chat and see

[1:05:08] what else we can do, what we can get out

[1:05:10] there. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. All those in favor

[1:05:14] of the referral. Motion carries. This takes us to our

[1:05:18] next item. That was held. 10. 4. 2.

[1:05:29] Window wells and path of travel for additional residential units.

[1:05:34] Deputy Mayor. So I've had a lot of education around

[1:05:41] window wells and learning window walls and learning about the

[1:05:43] impacts. Um, I know it's a part of the official

[1:05:47] plan that, no, it's not a part of the window

[1:05:52] wealth. I thought, yeah. Uh, three more brown through the

[1:05:55] deputy mayor. It's included in our comprehensive zoning biologics. Sorry.

[1:05:58] Comprehensive donating bylaw. Um, I just, um, I would like

[1:06:01] us to take our time on this and also refer

[1:06:05] this back to Staff. We have industry partners here. And

[1:06:08] I know Residence have their side. And I think we

[1:06:11] just have to learn the implications of this. And our

[1:06:14] goal is always to bring people into compliance and safety

[1:06:18] and balancing that with affordability. And it gets really tricky

[1:06:21] because nobody's right. Nobody's wrong. Everybody has their side in

[1:06:25] this. But we just, I feel need to do a

[1:06:28] little bit more consultation on this. And, um, and just

[1:06:32] bring everybody to the table and find a way forward

[1:06:35] that works for everyone. So I would just propose we

[1:06:38] refer back to staff. Work on it and come forward

[1:06:43] where we get, uh, unanimous folk. That's what I would

[1:06:47] like to see. Thank you. Councillor Keenan. Thank you Mr.

[1:06:51] Mayor. So for me, that's a bit of a tough

[1:06:56] to refer just based on, um, my conversations with staff

[1:07:00] knowing, you know, that we talk around the safety aspect

[1:07:02] of it. But I do understand concerns when it comes

[1:07:05] to design. I've since our last council meeting. I've had

[1:07:08] a couple of conversations with designers to see, um, if

[1:07:11] things can be designed differently, which I was told they

[1:07:13] can be. Um, in a case by case situation. So

[1:07:18] my question maybe to you, Deputy Mayor's, when do you

[1:07:21] want to see this come back and what is it

[1:07:23] you're looking to still accomplish. If you don't mind? For

[1:07:26] example, we have the interior contractor association. I like to

[1:07:29] see them consulted from the contracting side because they're doing

[1:07:32] this day in, day out. So what are those alternatives?

[1:07:35] What do they look like? Are they feasible? Um, I

[1:07:37] like to see residents also consulted on this. Um, I

[1:07:42] know informally we consult residents, but I think it'd be

[1:07:46] nice to have a comprehensive sort of sort of citywide

[1:07:50] roundtable on this where we get words people from orthodontine

[1:07:53] and 10 people from the downtown Corps to bring over

[1:07:55] policy. And maybe there's different policies in different areas. That's

[1:08:01] also something I'll put to. But I think the flexibility

[1:08:04] and just the flow and steady approach, uh, would be

[1:08:07] wiser on this because it's creating a lot of anxiety,

[1:08:11] uh, in the, in the community. And I'm getting a

[1:08:13] lot of calls on this. And, uh, and I'm trying

[1:08:16] to clarify, but it'd be better if, you know, staff

[1:08:19] with running like open health and clarifying as staff rather

[1:08:22] than us doing it. Because I'm not a technical guy.

[1:08:25] I don't know the building code like the back of

[1:08:28] my hand, but staff or experts in the building code.

[1:08:30] And they can answer these questions in a way that

[1:08:33] gives, I think, resonance much more confidence. Yeah. So, um,

[1:08:37] I do know that a lot of consultation on this

[1:08:39] was done through the comprehensive bylaw. So like all of

[1:08:43] these consultations and things already happened for that side of

[1:08:46] it, which has taken quite a significant amount of time.

[1:08:50] And when we look at, um, staff bringing this to

[1:08:53] us to implement no kind of shows that there's some

[1:08:56] urgency to have it from a safety perspective, um, the

[1:09:00] city. So from a deferral to do a little bit

[1:09:02] more on it, yes, but I would need like for

[1:09:05] me to support something like this. I would need a

[1:09:07] time frame. Is it are we talking a month? Are

[1:09:11] we talking at the end of the summer? If I

[1:09:13] can put some kind of time frame towards the consultation

[1:09:16] you like to do, then I would be happy to

[1:09:17] support that. Um, if, if there's no timeframe to it,

[1:09:20] then I don't think I could support it. Thank you,

[1:09:23] Mr. Mayor. Councillor Tor. Thank you through your Mayor Brown.

[1:09:29] I actually agree with both Councillor Keenan what he's saying

[1:09:32] and Adepty Mayor saying is talking about as well. Um,

[1:09:35] first of all, kudos to Staff. I know they've brought

[1:09:37] additional information back in a very short amount of time.

[1:09:41] It is very impressive. You brought mock designs and in

[1:09:44] different concepts on how this could work in different scenarios

[1:09:48] based on the delegation and the comments that we had

[1:09:50] seen, it's a very thorough report, a very thorough exercise

[1:09:54] to the, uh, through the comprehensive zoning by - law.

[1:09:58] Um, but I do have to agree with Depumier saying

[1:10:00] the other side of this is the more public -

[1:10:02] facing side. If it, the more practical implementation on the

[1:10:07] ground side of it. And that's where I think we

[1:10:10] would benefit for more consultation on, you know, whether it

[1:10:15] is contractors that are fighting to make sure that all

[1:10:20] contractors are doing work safely because the contractors out there

[1:10:24] that are doing illegal work, doing Works Without Purmits that

[1:10:26] are undercutting contractors that are trying to do it the

[1:10:29] right way. And so these contractors have the interest in

[1:10:33] making sure that one, they understand the full impact of

[1:10:36] this, how this will improve housing and safety and housing.

[1:10:41] Uh, they want to be part of that conversation. I

[1:10:43] think that's on the ground side of things. And it

[1:10:46] works best when we're implementing, let's say, a new approach.

[1:10:50] And we have the buy - in from the industry.

[1:10:53] Then it makes it smoother for residents to understand this.

[1:10:56] So again, a lot of our residents don't leader competence.

[1:10:59] Ozoni Byla, they're not going through this exercise. Um, but

[1:11:02] they will trust adress like the contractors that are actually

[1:11:06] going to do this work, that are going to go

[1:11:08] out and get permits on what it means on adding

[1:11:10] an additional unit or bringing their existing units into compliance,

[1:11:14] how that would affect them, what that looks like. Um,

[1:11:17] I think that would be meaningful. I also know that

[1:11:20] for more war peering meeting that we had with staff,

[1:11:23] we got a lot of questions answered and we were

[1:11:25] very grateful for that. Um, some of the questions still

[1:11:28] are unanswered. And again, that's not fault of her stuff.

[1:11:31] It's just they haven't been able to get a hold

[1:11:32] of other municipalities. For example, in the City of Toronto

[1:11:35] example that has been, uh, talked about many times. We

[1:11:39] haven't actually gotten, like we've made attempts. Staff has made

[1:11:42] multiple attempts to talk to City of Toronto staff and

[1:11:44] understand what their debate looked like and how did they

[1:11:48] come to the conclusion of allowing, let's say, greats on

[1:11:51] window walls. What was the pros and cons? What did

[1:11:54] their emergency services think about it? How did that make

[1:11:57] any change? Like what was their rationale for that decision

[1:11:59] making? I feel like other municipalities are doing it, learning

[1:12:04] from mistakes. And, you know, revising it and implementing. I

[1:12:08] think it's best. We learn from their mistakes. Find out

[1:12:10] what they would have done differently. Maybe City of Toronto,

[1:12:13] if they could go back in time, wouldn't do the

[1:12:14] grades anymore. But let's find out. Like, I think we

[1:12:17] need to do a little bit of that fact finding

[1:12:19] on what that discussion, what that debate happened around these,

[1:12:22] um, what kind of solutions they came up with? What

[1:12:25] was the alternates. How did their council decide to come

[1:12:30] to that conclusion? I don't know if they had genonymes

[1:12:33] or what kind of support they had for that. What

[1:12:35] was the buy - in again from our emergency services?

[1:12:38] What was the buy - in from the industry itself?

[1:12:41] I think we need to tie all those little loose

[1:12:43] ends a little bit together. Uh, so that when we

[1:12:46] make a decision, again, I'd love it to be a

[1:12:48] unanimous decision on this. Like again, not being the experts

[1:12:51] and just, you know, debating on like this point could,

[1:12:55] you know, negatively impact people or not. Let's get all

[1:12:57] of that out of the way. And then, then perhaps

[1:13:00] everybody has a better understanding. I have a better understanding

[1:13:03] than I did two weeks ago. And I would love

[1:13:05] to have, you know, even more improved understanding on this.

[1:13:07] And I think the more facts we can get together,

[1:13:10] Stafford are doing an incredible effort. But I think we

[1:13:12] still get some of those answers. Um, it would really

[1:13:14] help everybody. Um, but again, who does the staff quick

[1:13:18] turnaround on this report? Very throw report. So thank you

[1:13:20] all the team that's worked on this. Councillor Santos. Thank

[1:13:27] you to you, Mr. Chair. So, um, similar to Councillor

[1:13:31] Keene, I would support a referral back, but with timing.

[1:13:35] And part of the reason why is because I see

[1:13:37] a lot of homes, particularly inwards one and five up

[1:13:41] for sale. And my concern is, is if we are

[1:13:45] going to be looking at, um, changes to wind oils

[1:13:50] and path of travel for ARUs, um, many of these

[1:13:54] homes that are up for sale will be sold and

[1:13:56] then be flipped over. And so I think time is

[1:13:59] of the essence here. Um, in particular as it relates

[1:14:02] to safety as well. So just a question to staff.

[1:14:06] Uh, how soon do you think we could get something

[1:14:09] back that includes some of the feedback from members of

[1:14:14] Council. Uh. Through your Mayor Brown through to Councillor Santos,

[1:14:20] certainly, you know, staff would work as expeditiously as Council

[1:14:24] desires and just a quick chat with the chief building

[1:14:26] official and the Commissioner of Community Services who oversees fire.

[1:14:32] We could probably bring something back within 30 to 60

[1:14:34] days if that was the will of Council. So possibly

[1:14:38] September. Okay. So I would be okay with that. Um,

[1:14:42] but, but I would not push it any further than

[1:14:45] that because I do worry that people are going to

[1:14:48] start doing things with the houses that they're flipping that

[1:14:52] eventually they're going to have to change again. Um, and,

[1:14:55] and so I think time is of the essence on

[1:14:57] this one. Council Keenan. Thank you. And through you, Mr.

[1:15:04] Mayor. Um, so I agree with, um, the September timeline.

[1:15:08] I've talked with my colleagues and nine and 10. Um,

[1:15:10] that September would work for us. Um, so if we

[1:15:13] can just have that date added, we'd be happy to

[1:15:15] support the referral. Okay. And just to add in, I

[1:15:19] believe we could include information on comparative jurisdictions for this

[1:15:22] as well. Three of America report does have that, but

[1:15:27] we can certainly elaborate on that. And maybe if I

[1:15:29] could suggest, um, prior to, uh, bringing back the report

[1:15:33] and prior to initiating the consultation, staff will, um, put

[1:15:36] together a list of stakeholders. We think ought to be

[1:15:39] consulted and run that by each of the ward Councillors

[1:15:41] just to make sure we hadn't missed anybody. And then

[1:15:43] that would make sure everyone's covered. Okay. Move by Deputy

[1:15:52] Mayor Singhs, acting by Councillor Keenan, all those in favor.

[1:15:55] Motion curious. Do the clerk, our next item that was

[1:15:59] held is. Oh, yes, Council, Deputy Mayor Sing.

[1:16:12] Thank you. And, um. Kudos, I think, uh, I think

[1:16:18] the congratulations in order. I know, uh, Councillor Santos worked

[1:16:22] through FCM to bring money to the city. Sometimes we

[1:16:27] talk about being part of organisations like FCM and AMO.

[1:16:32] And we, and this is one of the examples of

[1:16:33] what we get with that. And thank you to all

[1:16:35] your hard work. Um, for, uh, bringing, helping with their

[1:16:40] development charges, um, wards nine and 10. Thanks you. And

[1:16:45] so does, uh, so do all the other councillors, but,

[1:16:48] um, thank you for doing this. This is going to

[1:16:50] help, you know, us where you're going to see a

[1:16:52] motion who come from us as well. But, you know,

[1:16:55] we acknowledge it's all because of your efforts. So thank

[1:16:57] you for everything. Credit where credit is due. Uh, Councillor

[1:17:03] Santos, you're next. And like the Deputy Mayor said, um,

[1:17:07] there was a benefit to having Brampton Councillors on bodies

[1:17:10] like FCM or AMO. And I know you have been

[1:17:14] on for a number of terms now. I think you

[1:17:15] got reelected with the highest margin at FCM and this

[1:17:19] FCM green fund is very useful for community centres. And

[1:17:23] so the low interest loan, the grant portion opens up

[1:17:26] development charge space for the entire city. So, uh, excellent

[1:17:30] work. And I should also say, I don't think we

[1:17:32] have yet a happy birthday as well. Good news. Please.

[1:17:36] Councillor Santos. Thank you to you Mr. Mayor. Very proud

[1:17:41] to be on the board of FCM for now seven

[1:17:45] or eight terms. And the organisation does incredible work for

[1:17:51] municipalities across the entire country. Advocacy, you name it. But

[1:17:56] the Green Municipal Fund is very special. And I'll say

[1:17:59] that being a board member of FCM representing the City

[1:18:03] of Brampton. We have been put on the stage. We

[1:18:08] have been seeing as trailblazers and incredibly vocal on the

[1:18:13] FCM table. And because of that, um, obviously things like

[1:18:19] the grie municipal fund who has given money to the

[1:18:23] City of Brampton on multiple occasions. And, you know, low

[1:18:27] cost loans to the City Brampton for major projects. They

[1:18:31] remember who we are. And like the mayor said that's

[1:18:34] why it's so important for Representatives to be at FCM

[1:18:38] from Brampton as well as AMO Council Vicente sits at

[1:18:41] AIMO as well. Uh, and it's definitely worthwhile because many,

[1:18:47] many cities around the country, including the executive board at

[1:18:51] FCM, see Brampton in an incredibly positive light. And so

[1:18:55] thank you very much. And, uh, looking forward to this

[1:18:58] because it's coming to Century Gardens in our youth hub.

[1:19:02] Um, Councillor Tor. Thank you through you Mayor Bound again.

[1:19:08] Again, kudos, uh, to everyone that's worked on this. This

[1:19:11] is great to see. And, uh, when I was trying

[1:19:14] to add an additional added item, it was another motion

[1:19:18] that is actually going to use some of that revenue

[1:19:21] from the Return of Funds that we're getting to develop

[1:19:23] in charges. Um, so along with this motion, if I

[1:19:27] could bring forward that motion as well, Madam Clerk, the

[1:19:30] motion that was. To regarding the traffic intersections, I know

[1:19:35] there are some in March 2 and 6 as well.

[1:19:38] And maybe Council Palacio, I see him on the board.

[1:19:40] He'll comment on those. But, um, we'd be. I'll bring

[1:19:45] that one forward. Okay. So I'm going to ask Councillor

[1:19:47] Santos and Councillor Sante to move the century gardens one,

[1:19:52] all those in favor, motion carries. And Councillor Tor and

[1:19:55] Councillor Plesch, if you could put your motion on the

[1:19:57] screen.

[1:20:21] Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Thank you Councillor Tour and the

[1:20:25] Deputy Mayor. In looking at the motion, I'm just briefly,

[1:20:30] it had changed a little bit. So the Claremont drive,

[1:20:33] so Kennedy Road and Arctic turn Avenue. If we can,

[1:20:36] um, remove that from the motion. If it can just

[1:20:39] state simply that, um, the one that the monies that

[1:20:45] have already been paid by the developer for a full

[1:20:49] moves intersection or for a signalization of intersection, uh, which

[1:20:54] I've confirmed with them that they both five years ago,

[1:20:57] they, they, uh, they put money towards the, uh, the

[1:21:01] signalization of one of these intersections, uh, it originally was

[1:21:05] planned for arctic turn, but in discussion with the Stone

[1:21:08] Gate Community, um, and the newer franchising property community, um,

[1:21:13] they're thinking that they would rather have, uh, signalization closer

[1:21:18] to a further north. And I know that is a

[1:21:21] little, maybe a problem for us and staff because it'll

[1:21:25] be a little bit closer to Mayfield, but something that

[1:21:28] I think we could, we could figure out. So ultimately

[1:21:31] I'd like, uh, this deleted, um, Arctic turn Avenue and

[1:21:36] just that has signalized interstation. Um, be installed in proximity

[1:21:43] to Mayfield Road on Kennedy Road. I think that covers

[1:21:48] it. And then work with, uh, the area councillors and

[1:21:50] the residents, uh, to confirm where that's going to be.

[1:21:54] Cause I think some work does happen in the proximity.

[1:21:57] It Mayfield in Kennedy. Yeah. On Kennedy in the proximity

[1:22:00] of Mayfield. And the proximity of Mayfield, the Councillor. The

[1:22:05] clerk is noting that. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Councillor

[1:22:08] Tor. Okay. Thank you. I think that's a good amendment

[1:22:15] there. But just thank you again to Staff. These intersections

[1:22:18] have been a priority. There's been a lot of incidents

[1:22:21] that unfortunately are have happened. The summer already on Countryside

[1:22:25] Drive and these already approved intersections. So I'm glad to

[1:22:28] see that some of those return funds will now actually

[1:22:30] go into implementation. And I hope that this means that

[1:22:33] we can expedite as quickly as possible the actual construction

[1:22:38] that these intersections would be very helpful. But thank you.

[1:22:43] Deputy Marson. Sorry. I just want to give a quick

[1:22:45] shout out for the last minute work by, uh, Shane

[1:22:48] and the budget office. Thank you so much. Yeah. They

[1:22:53] help draft. As. We know. I don't know where Para.

[1:22:59] Is. No, no, no, no. Thursday. Just for. Yeah. It's

[1:23:04] good on the road number. We're so needful. Perfect. Perfect.

[1:23:07] Perfect. And Mark, you just stepped out the room, but

[1:23:10] the deputy mayor gave you a shout out. Thank you

[1:23:12] for your assistance. Um, all those in favor. Motion carries.

[1:23:19] This takes us to our, um, next. Item. Okay. Councillor

[1:23:28] Plushy, you held this one. Yeah. Oh. Yes. Thank you,

[1:23:35] Mr. Mayor. Uh, thank you, Mr. Mayor. Um, so it's

[1:23:38] come to our attention that, you know, somebody is really

[1:23:41] trying to do something good in the community and bringing

[1:23:44] music into the community for, um, for kids that normally

[1:23:49] wouldn't get an opportunity, uh, to, to play instruments. Um,

[1:23:54] unfortunately, uh, this gentleman story is, is remarkable, um, but

[1:24:00] unfortunately he can't, uh, he can't pay the DC charges.

[1:24:06] It's, they're just, they're just, there's just too much. And

[1:24:10] I think what we ultimately would like to accomplish is

[1:24:14] asking staff to go back and look at another opportunity

[1:24:18] for, you know, this to be deferred out till whenever,

[1:24:24] or another opportunity for, uh, for us to look at,

[1:24:28] um, a reduction in, in the DCs. And if that

[1:24:32] is by any chance, uh, you know, this is, you

[1:24:38] know, a little bit of employment, a little bit of

[1:24:40] recreation. I know what they've been further reduced because of

[1:24:45] a calculation error on our part. But I think now

[1:24:48] that, um, it's before us, this work needs to be

[1:24:52] done. Um, we really want to help support this new

[1:24:56] business. And if, uh, if the referral that I'd like

[1:25:00] to put, put on the floor asking staff to, to,

[1:25:03] to work with, uh, an opportunity to defer payments to

[1:25:07] X number of years. Um, I'd appreciate that, Jason. Through

[1:25:12] the chair, we can, uh, certainly meet with a group.

[1:25:15] I think it'd be helpful to just some additional clarity,

[1:25:18] whether they're nonprofit or not. I see. Differing information. So

[1:25:22] once we meet with them, we can get some additional

[1:25:24] detail because that could have an implication. Um, and we'll,

[1:25:28] uh, we can report back on the outcomes. Okay. Thanks,

[1:25:31] Chase. Thanks. So, um, maybe Jason, you can clarify or

[1:25:36] illegal. I was informed in the gender briefing that they

[1:25:39] declined the deferral. Has that a deferral agreement? Was that

[1:25:43] not offered already. Yeah, please.

[1:25:54] If Councillor Plesh is asking for that report and they've

[1:25:56] already declined it more. Yeah. We, um, sorry through the

[1:26:02] chair. We did reach out to Zubar and we offered

[1:26:07] them that we get into a federal agreement. And they

[1:26:10] were not interested in that councillor. I assume you're. Very

[1:26:19] close. Yeah. We can work. Together. And find.

[1:26:28] Just on that. I interpreted your comments as a deferral

[1:26:32] of this matter, not a deferral of DCs. Like a

[1:26:35] deferral of this matter for us to look into the

[1:26:37] charitable status. Not, not a different level. We're going to

[1:26:40] look at everything. We're all group. We're going to get

[1:26:43] together and have a discussion and not have a discussion,

[1:26:46] you know, behind closed doors or anything like that. And

[1:26:49] actually include the area councillors in having a discussion on

[1:26:53] what we can do to this fantastic organisation. That's going

[1:26:57] to be my deferral. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Thank you.

[1:27:00] I Council of Brun. Thank you through you, Mr. Chair.

[1:27:03] And just want to say thank you to Corey for

[1:27:05] coming out. But also we had the privilege attending their

[1:27:10] performances where young youth had the opportunity to perform, sing,

[1:27:14] dense, and Plea the piano, but these are the things

[1:27:17] that we promote in the City Brampton, making sure that

[1:27:20] our youth have that platform. So again, thank you to

[1:27:22] Staff for all the work that you do, but just

[1:27:24] we need to work with Staff to make sure that

[1:27:26] we can achieve the goals for our residence of Brendan.

[1:27:30] Thank you. Okay. Um, move by Councillor Plushy, second by

[1:27:34] Councillor Brawler. Is that okay? Um, all those in favor.

[1:27:39] Ocean carries. This takes us to our next item.

[1:27:50] And then. Now therefore. It was. Nothing. Okay. Is it

[1:27:56] on the. Councillor Plus? You like to speak to this?

[1:28:01] Sure. Yeah. Super happy with, uh, staff working on this

[1:28:09] and providing, uh, those, those revisions to the motion. Happy

[1:28:13] to move this forward. And thanks to staff for, for

[1:28:16] working on this, uh, and changing some of the verbiage.

[1:28:20] I think this goes a long way and a lot

[1:28:22] of other municipalities right across Ontario are doing this. So,

[1:28:27] um, thank you for just after as well. Thanks, Jason.

[1:28:31] Okay. Um, all those in favor. Motion carries.

[1:28:42] Under. 16. Okay. So we have, uh, 16. 2, I

[1:28:46] believe. Referred matters list. Any questions for matters list. Seeing

[1:28:54] none. We'll go to 16. 2. And this is from

[1:28:58] Councillor Burr. Thank you, three Mr. Mayor. So Mount Pleasant

[1:29:04] is one of our gems and wards two and six.

[1:29:08] And it's such a nice place where you can, it's

[1:29:11] a walkable area. However, um, I know Councillor Plasci has

[1:29:15] mentioned this a couple of times too, but there are

[1:29:18] ongoing issues on mouth peasant area where residents who are

[1:29:21] using the Go station or parking in areas are designated

[1:29:24] for the patrons of the shops are around Mel Puzzle

[1:29:27] Library specifically on Commuter Drive in Blease Dell Avenue. And

[1:29:31] these people who are parked, um, are in excessive of

[1:29:34] three hours in parking spots that are directly besides the

[1:29:37] shops, causing potential customers to have to find parking on

[1:29:40] inner streets. And some of the customers probably, um, just

[1:29:44] like, I know I have done this where I would

[1:29:46] just drive by because I can't find the spot that

[1:29:48] I am able to find. So, um, it's really causing

[1:29:52] potential customers to find, um, other areas to go to.

[1:29:56] So store owners are very frustrated and have raised concerns

[1:30:00] about the profit, customer laws due to the lack of

[1:30:02] availability of parking. And I know Councillor Pleshing, I have

[1:30:05] been on site for a couple of times. And we've

[1:30:07] spoke to both store owners, resins, um, who were frustrated

[1:30:11] with the cards are parked up to eight hours, a

[1:30:14] day in these spots, um, and even though there's ample

[1:30:18] parking at the ghost station, um, there is an overflow

[1:30:22] law salvation drive that is not far from the shops

[1:30:24] of the Commuter Drive as well. Um, and I do

[1:30:27] know staff have been working with us. I've done a

[1:30:30] great job. They've done a survey done previously. However, now

[1:30:33] the new stone owners and many of them have been

[1:30:36] reaching out to both of our offices regarding the parking

[1:30:39] situation at Melt Pleasant. Um, they are putting together a

[1:30:42] petition to the City to not parking restrictions that will

[1:30:45] deter malt Pleasant, um, to go station Part Trans from

[1:30:50] parking in the front of the shops. And by the

[1:30:52] library. And we do support our, um, Businesses and we

[1:30:56] want them to thrive. So I was wondering if we

[1:30:58] can, um, direct staff to again, to once again, to

[1:31:03] do the survey and connect with the Melt Pleasant Business

[1:31:06] owners and determine what regulation parking regulations, restrictions can be

[1:31:11] put in place for this unique, uh, situation where Go

[1:31:14] Station users are parking outside of the designated area. And

[1:31:18] I do know a lot of, um, the Stone owners

[1:31:21] have brought ideas of maybe one hour parking or two

[1:31:25] - hour parking restrictions just for those, um, residents using

[1:31:29] the store owner shop. So just referring it back to

[1:31:32] staff, seeing if we can work with the store earners

[1:31:34] to find a better solution. Cause I know this problem

[1:31:37] has been going on for a very long time now.

[1:31:45] Okay. We have the motion move by Councillor Bros Second

[1:31:48] and by Councillor Pelleschi. All those in favor. Motion carries.

[1:31:54] This takes us to our next item, which is 16.

[1:31:57] 3 Councillor Passante. Thank you very much Mayor Brown. I

[1:32:03] believe the clerk has a motion that I would like

[1:32:05] request that we put up on the screen. Uh, it

[1:32:08] is requesting that staff implement four - way stop at

[1:32:11] the intersection of Flower Town. And chats with Drive Hedrina

[1:32:15] Street. Asking members of Council to support and Councillor Santos

[1:32:19] will second. Thank you. Okay. All those in favor. Motion

[1:32:27] carries. This takes us to our next item, which is

[1:32:29] item 16. 4 Councillor Santos. What's added? Thank you. I

[1:32:36] wasn't, cause I was late. So somebody added it. Count

[1:32:39] thank you Deputy Mayor Singh. So, uh, one of the

[1:32:46] issues, it's one of the things that I've been noticing

[1:32:49] across the City is in many of our catwalks. I

[1:32:52] know some of them are maintained by Public Works and

[1:32:55] some of them are maintained by parks. Many of them

[1:32:58] have gone quite shoddy. And a lot of overgrown and

[1:33:02] encroachment into the catwalks, some safety concerns where residents no

[1:33:06] longer feel safe travelling through them because of too much,

[1:33:11] um, too much encroachment from brush and from bushes and

[1:33:15] trees. So I was, I was wondering whether or not,

[1:33:18] um, in the, in the season and moving forward, we

[1:33:22] could put some focus on maintaining and cleaning up our

[1:33:27] catwalks that people can actually use them safely, uh, and

[1:33:31] be encouraged to walk to different locations across the city

[1:33:36] versus, um, going, driving or elsewhere. Through the American, I

[1:33:44] can take that, uh, in consultation with the Commissioner Public

[1:33:47] Works. We work together on maintaining these different catwalks. We'll

[1:33:51] work together. We'll do an audit. We'll actually reach out

[1:33:53] to the Councillor Offices too. If you have any, uh,

[1:33:55] ones that are a priority, we'll look at the current

[1:33:57] service request and we'll put a focus on it over

[1:33:59] the next 30 to 60 days to clean them up.

[1:34:03] Okay. That would be amazing. So with that require motion

[1:34:06] or is that good enough direction. Through the Mayor to

[1:34:11] Council Sandals, we can take that as direction. That's, that's

[1:34:13] part of our regular ongoing maintenance. So we'll just make

[1:34:14] sure it's a priority. Okay. Perfect. So if we could

[1:34:17] put in some focus, then that would be awesome. And

[1:34:19] then I'll loop back in with Community Services and Public

[1:34:22] Works on the status of our catwalks. Thanks so much.

[1:34:26] Thank you. Um, our next item is Public Question Pair.

[1:34:29] Are there any questions. Oh, Councillor Fartini. Yeah. Thank you.

[1:34:34] And thank you Councillor Santos. Uh, just a Public Works.

[1:34:38] A lot of times I've mentioned on these catwalks. We're

[1:34:40] doing the world's. And you got these catwalks. Where were

[1:34:43] you doing the asphalt. And I feel, well, this is

[1:34:46] part of Parks. That's part of Rhodes. It's the same.

[1:34:49] But one were there. The equipment's there. Bobcats there. Spreaders

[1:34:53] there. When we look at these things and fix them

[1:34:55] a lot of times they keep saying that. And a

[1:34:57] lot of them, you can't even clean the snow. That's

[1:34:59] how bad they are. So when we're actually doing the

[1:35:01] roads, if we see if the catwalk, let's add it

[1:35:04] to the contract. Thank you. Thank you. Um, so Public

[1:35:13] question period. Are there any questions here in the audience

[1:35:17] or online. Don't see any. Um, okay. This takes us

[1:35:23] to Bylaws. I have a motion move by Councillor Plushy,

[1:35:27] seconded by Councillor Brar to approve the bylaws 119, 2026

[1:35:31] to 132, 2026. Inclusive, all those in favor, motion carries.
