Could I get a mover for that, please? 95 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:37,400 Moved by Councillor Quad, seconded by Councillor 96 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:40,480 Keller. Any comments or questions on the minutes? 97 00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:42,240 Okay, about to call for the vote. All those in favor? 98 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:46,320 » Yes. >> Opposed, none.

Committee and staff reports, the 100 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:05,600 operation manager re arena air conditioning heating unit, and I 101 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:08,480 understand uh that you have a verbal report. 102 00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:13,800 » Yes, that's correct. So, uh through the mayor and council, uh 103 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:18,680 So, I did receive two um quotations for the uh repairs to the heating and air 104 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:24,400 conditioning uh system at the arena. I thought we had it maybe nailed down to 105 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:29,000 one, um but I found some further discrepancies between the two, 106 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:32,840 and I'm not satisfied with what I have. So, I've requested a third quote from 107 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:38,600 another company. So, what I suggest to council is we 108 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:43,120 we go ahead, get the pricing for this, and this will be something that we plan 109 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:46,320 for and execute in the next term of council in the new year 110 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:49,160 for the next budget. >> So we're okay. We have heat. 111 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:53,120 » We have heat. Yeah, the heat's fine. It's just the air conditioner that's 112 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:56,320 obsolete right now. And with the cooler weather moving in or in the fall here 113 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,960 now, we shouldn't hopefully need it anymore, but 114 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,200 » Okay. >> That's That's what I'm recommending 115 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,280 right now. >> Okay. 116 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:07,760 » Cuz by the time we get another quote, we get things implemented, it's going to be 117 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,200 into November. Uh it's going to be too cold to do the 118 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,320 job anyway. >> Okay. 119 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:18,120 So uh okay. Sounds good. 120 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,800 Oh, we're back. 121 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:28,400 Correspondence. We have a resolution that we the council for the corporation 122 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:32,200 of the Township of Brudenell, Lyndoch and Raglan hereby accept the 123 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:36,440 correspondence as circulated. Could I get a mover for that, please? 124 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:40,360 I can move by Councillor Coughlin, seconded by Councillor Banks. So is 125 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:45,040 there anything in there the council is interested in? 126 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:49,040 Heads and beds, we don't have heads and beds. 127 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:53,640 I mean Barry Spada us, but it's only a municipality that has a hospital in 128 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:57,240 their jurisdiction that gets the heads and 129 00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:01,640 beds grant, which amounts I think to around 130 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,640 I think it's around 131 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:07,440 It's not that much. I think it's 132 00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:11,480 I think when I was I think when I was in Renfrew it was 133 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:15,080 around $6,000 maybe, but I could be wrong. But I know it's not a lot of 134 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,280 money considering um 135 00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:25,720 Eorn, I was kind of thinking we should 136 00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:29,120 maybe draft a response to that because we did have an issue with the sighting 137 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:35,720 of one of our towers if everyone remembers. I mean, they 138 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:39,920 they should be a suitable distance away from a 139 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:45,200 residence. And I mean, we did have that happen, and it turned out that 140 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:49,920 they didn't even do the circulation properly, so 141 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:56,160 and then they want to cut it down to 30 days. I mean, that's not enough time. 142 00:09:53,960 --> 00:10:00,160 » to move things along, and I understand that, but that's not good for everyone 143 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:04,680 else. It doesn't give the the townships time to to look at things. 144 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:08,280 » Well, I think it's in their favor to reduce it because that way 145 00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:13,280 » Yeah, it moves along for them better, but it doesn't do us in the township 146 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:16,400 good or or the the people near near the towers. That's the distance that they're 147 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:21,320 trying to to to move to some of the uh 148 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:24,920 the distances from towers to residences are being 149 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:29,920 » And I just kind of forgot what the 150 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,800 Oh, Eorn, that's I'm This one is about the cell 151 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:33,680 towers. >> Yeah. 152 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,680 » 10 seconds. >> Um 153 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:39,560 that was discussed at the county council last week, and 154 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:43,160 um there's been a lot of complaints. In 155 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:49,520 fact, um Chalk River 156 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:53,000 has a dead zone. And there's areas up in there that's still dead with the Rogers 157 00:10:51,760 --> 00:11:00,040 towers, and Jen spoke to that um the warden as 158 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:06,240 she's on this committee. And with the changeover with the Rogers towers, so 159 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:13,800 many people have gone to Rogers, too, that sometimes the traffic bogs it. 160 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:19,040 So, you know, that's not what was the information that 161 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:24,240 was given to us. And they had to say about Bell and that, 162 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:30,040 well, there was no agreement when the original contract was done that Bell 163 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:35,680 would, you know, install onto their towers. There was never any discussion 164 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:38,760 in regard to that. So, we have no idea if that will ever happen. 165 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,680 It may. >> Well, roaming roaming usually happens 166 00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:46,080 later once subscribership is up. Because they make in this whole investment they 167 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:50,600 were awarded the contract of the federal program to 168 00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:54,760 to remove all the those black spots and better service, but 169 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:58,360 typically that's something that I don't know I don't know if that was negotiated 170 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:01,480 in, but normally you get a year or two before they open up for roaming on Bell 171 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:05,240 and then they would then they would charge Rogers with charge Bell up a fee 172 00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:07,760 to allow them to roam. >> Yeah. 173 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:12,600 Yeah, like I mean I I had planned on changing over 174 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:18,360 from Bell to Rogers cuz I had Bell because of my home it was available. 175 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:22,640 And Rogers wasn't, but I haven't done that and I'm thinking, I don't know if I 176 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:25,800 will now because it could be worse than what it would. 177 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:29,520 » So far we've had home, but I noticed that they're charging some upgrades now 178 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:33,280 I think to the towers that that are up that are seeing the heavy 179 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:37,720 traffic. Whereas I was reading some stuff this week and seeing Rogers are 180 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:40,360 looking at upgrade programs I think to to help with that, but that's in the 181 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:44,920 future as well. >> Yeah, and a lot of people have been 182 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:47,160 having trouble with the internet also.
