[11:50] Thank you. And do any other members have any items
[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.
[32:51] One hard. Let's get together. And. Feel all right.
[33:07] And. I repeat. All right. Let's. Get together. And. Feel.

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

[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.

[1:35:41] um, that is item 19. 4, 19. 6. And we
[1:35:47] will return in Public Session to Report Out any outcomes.
[1:35:50] Um, so in 15 minutes, we can meet, um, in
[1:35:54] the in - camera room. And I would just note,
[1:35:58] sorry. Motion. Emotion to go into closed, move by account
[1:36:02] serviceante. Second by Councillor Canaan. All those in favor, motion
[1:36:05] carries. And just one other announcement you forgot to mention.

[1:36:11] Alfordson now join the Maple Leafs staff. Nice to see
[1:36:15] him join Canada's team. Thank you.
[3:06:19] Okay. In the continuing interest of transparency and open government,
[3:06:27] I will report in Public Session in the outcomes from
[3:06:28] today's closed session business as a result of our closed
[3:06:31] session today, which report the following. The clerk will put

[3:07:16] Tour, all those in favor, motion carries for 19. 5.
