[20:23] >> mayor burton: hello, welcome
[20:31] to this meeting of the council
[20:33] of the town of oakville.
[20:34] I invite you to join council I
[20:36] o canada.
[20:37] [singing of o canada]
[20:54] >> mayor burton: thank you,
[21:55] everybody.
[21:55] 210 years ago, indigenous peopl
[22:02] here began welcoming settlers
[22:04] from all over the entire.
[22:05] soon, the new settlers were
[22:10] helping slave escaping from the
[22:13] united states to settle here
[22:14] today.
[22:14] today, our indigenous founding
[22:16] partners are still here enjoyin
[22:18] this land with us.
[22:19] they fish and camp under their
[22:21] treaty 22 rights.
[22:24] indigenous people and their
[22:26] thousands live with us as
[22:27] neighbours and friends.
[22:29] our indigenous, white and black
[22:31] settlers created a community
[22:33] with an attractive degree of
[22:35] harmony and prosperity.
[22:37] and by 1857, ontario gave
[22:40] official recognition to oakvill
[22:42] as a town.
[22:44] a town hall 1 160 years later,
[22:49] we
[22:49] fly the flag of the mississauga
[22:53] flag of the new credit.
[22:55] we fly these flags together to
[22:57] acknowledge our origins.
[23:00] people from all over the world
[23:02] are attracted to the liveabili
[23:04] ty
[23:04] we created.
[23:05] we offer newcomers a warm,
[23:07] spirit of welcome.
[23:09] we offer everyone our founding
[23:12] story so that everyone can kno
[23:15] what they are part of.
[23:19] we feel sorrow and distress for
[23:22] acts of racism an intolerance
[23:24] across canada.
[23:25] we want our future to be
[23:26] equitable and inclusive for all
[23:29] the path of truth and
[23:32] reconciliation can lift and
[23:33] unite us.
[23:36] now, before we begin our
[23:38] scheduled council meeting, it'
[23:40] important to me to note that
[23:43] june is the month during which
[23:45] we celebrate our community's
[23:49] indigenous history as well as
[23:50] pride.
[23:50] our diversity is a reason for
[23:52] why oakville can be and stay
[23:56] canada's most livable town.
[23:58] today as national indigenous
[24:00] peoples day, we acknowledge the
[24:03] mississaugas of the credit first
[24:05] nation as the traditional
[24:06] custodians of the land we
[24:08] inhabit by flying the
[24:09] mississaugas of the credit fla
[24:11] at town hall.
[24:13] in 2019, in fact, council voted
[24:15] to add a permanent indigenous
[24:17] flag pole at town hall for the
[24:20] continuous display of that fla
[24:22] g.
[24:22] tragically, this flag and all
[24:24] others at town facilities flew
[24:26] at half-mast during the first
[24:27] week of june.
[24:29] this was done in honour of the
[24:33] 215 indigenous children, the
[24:35] bodies of 215 indigenous
[24:38] children found in a mass grave
[24:40] at the former residential schoo
[24:42] site in kamloops, british
[24:44] columbia.
[24:44] I would ask now for a moment o
[24:49] silence in recognition of the
[24:52] event.
[24:52] [moment of silence]
[25:06] >> mayor burton: thank you,
[25:26] everybody.
[25:26] I would now like to give a bri
[25:32] ef
[25:32] statement and comment on a
[25:36] letter released this afternoon
[25:39] by our m.p.p. For oakville,
[25:42] steven crawford urging us to
[25:44] pass a resolution requesting t
[25:46] he
[25:46] province to issue a minister's
[25:48] zoning order to preserve the
[25:54] glen abbey, cultural heritage
[25:56] landscape, known as glen abbey
[25:58] golf course.
[25:58] and this is the statement.
[26:01] we want to thank m.p.p. Steven
[26:03] crawford or his letter.
[26:05] we're delighted with his
[26:06] support.

[26:09] appropriate council resolution.
[26:11] the council response will be

[26:21] councillor sandhu.

[27:20] sally fratter.
[27:24] >> ok, thank you very much,
[27:26] mayor burton.
[27:27] I'm very happy and grateful to
[27:29] have the opportunity to address
[27:31] the town council and to speak
[27:33] about some of the activities
[27:36] that we have been working on
[27:37] since the beginning of the yea
[27:40] r.
[27:40] I'm especially excited to have
[27:42] the opportunity to engage with
[27:44] many of the councillors since
[27:45] the town of oakville is one of
[27:47] our biggest supporters and
[27:51] partners in all the work we do.
[27:54] next slide, please.
[27:57] - this is a picture of me.
[27:59] I thought I should begin by
[28:00] introducing myself to everyone.
[28:02] as the mayor mentioned, my nam
[28:04] is sally fr ater, I'm the
[28:10] executive director at oakville
[28:12] galleries.
[28:12] wednesday is the official
[28:15] marking of my third month in m
[28:17] role.
[28:17] I haven't been here very long.
[28:19] sometimes it seems like a long
[28:21] time.
[28:21] but I haven't been in the role
[28:23] for a long time.
[28:24] I have been working in the
[28:25] cultural sector close to 16
[28:27] years.
[28:27] prior to beginning, my role at
[28:31] oakville galleries I was the
[28:32] curator of contemporary art in
[28:35] guelph.
[28:35] - I worked as the artistic
[28:39] director at centre 3 for
[28:41] artistic and social practice in
[28:43] hamilton.
[28:43] and I most recently was working
[28:47] in the states, as well.
[28:50] I was the curator of modern and
[28:53] contemporary art at skwrald eld
[28:56] ridge
[28:56] museum of art in wichita,
[28:59] kansas.
[28:59] next slide, please.
[29:02] I am assuming everyone on
[29:03] council is familiar with
[29:05] oakville galleries.
[29:06] in the event some people may n
[29:07] ot
[29:07] be, we are an arts organizatio
[29:12] n.
[29:12] we have the fortune of having
[29:15] two sites.
[29:16] we are on the sunny shores of
[29:17] lake ontario in the beautiful
[29:19] setting of gairloch gardens.
[29:21] and we are also, we also have
[29:26] usite at centennial square.
[29:30] what I appreciate is about
[29:31] having these two locations.
[29:33] it allows us to engage with a
[29:35] community at different sites o
[29:38] different occasions.
[29:39] next slide.
[29:40] we also have an sculpture
[29:48] collection.
[29:48] it has allowed visitors to
[29:51] continue to engage with our
[29:52] collection at a time when we're
[29:53] closed to the public.
[29:56] this is an example of some of
[29:58] the work that is in the outdoor
[30:02] sculpture correction.
[30:04] we have workers by renowned and
[30:07] canadian artists, including thi
[30:10] piece.
[30:10] this other work.
[30:16] we're fortunate.
[30:18] whenever I drive up to the
[30:20] building, where our
[30:21] administrative offices are at
[30:23] gairloch gardens, I'm able to
[30:27] witness viewers engaging with
[30:28] these works.
[30:31] next slide, please.
[30:32] this year before we went into
[30:34] our third lockdown, we were
[30:37] fortunate to be able to open t
[30:39] wo
[30:39] exhibitions to the public.
[30:41] in our centennial square
[30:43] location, we featured a los
[30:47] angeles-based artist and his
[30:49] exhibition.
[30:49] the work featured weavings by
[30:56] the artist I believe there wer
[30:57] seven weavings that explored
[30:59] themes of american literature,
[31:03] folklore.
[31:03] black, queer and black
[31:07] experiences of the american
[31:09] south.
[31:09] the work in particular looked
[31:14] at
[31:14] the rise of the aids epidemic o
[31:18] recent recurrence and rising
[31:21] rates in black and brown
[31:23] communities.
[31:23] next slide, please.
[31:25] this is another installation
[31:26] view of that exhibition.
[31:28] we also had an exhibition at
[31:30] gairloch gardens.
[31:35] a colorado-based artist.
[31:38] an established artist and her
[31:40] exhibition hourglass featured
[31:43] works in sculpture.
[31:45] she incorporates fountain
[31:48] materials, water, plastic and
[31:49] sand.
[31:49] she also featured works in
[31:52] video.
[31:52] and writing pieces, as well.
[31:57] the water works were a nice
[31:59] complement to the gairloch
[32:01] garden setting because it was I
[32:02] some ways a reference to lake
[32:04] ontario.
[32:04] next slide, please.
[32:08] this is another installation
[32:11] view.
[32:11] next slide.
[32:12] and what we're currently worki
[32:16] ng
[32:16] on, one of the programs we're
[32:18] working on is an upcoming
[32:19] exhibition which will officiall
[32:21] open on september 19th.
[32:23] it is called two truths and a
[32:24] lie.
[32:24] it is being organized by our
[32:27] assistant curator teresa wong.
[32:30] it features works from the
[32:31] collection.
[32:31] there will be, I believe, at
[32:35] least 16 works by 16 artists
[32:36] featured in the collection.
[32:38] and the exhibition to give a
[32:41] simple straight forward
[32:42] description, it looks at the
[32:43] ways in which we create myths
[32:46] and narratives and how we
[32:49] determine what is true or truth
[32:54] next slide, please.
[32:58] last year, our camp sessions
[33:00] were very successful.
[33:02] we're just gearing up to launc
[33:03] our 2021 camp sessions.
[33:05] our sessions are selling out.
[33:10] we have smaller camp sizes to
[33:14] allow us to have students into
[33:18] the site or on site, rather, bu
[33:20] a lot of our programming,
[33:22] weather permitting will be hel
[33:24] outdoors.
[33:24] the smaller class sizes will
[33:28] allow us to operate the camps I
[33:30] accordance with municipal and
[33:32] provincial covid guidelines.
[33:33] we're excited about welcoming
[33:38] students and campers back to th
[33:40] gallery.
[33:40] next slide, please.
[33:45] as many cultural organizations
[33:47] have had to do, we had to
[33:48] transition most of our course
[33:52] and workshop and public program
[33:54] offerings to on-line platforms
[33:56] we use zoom.
[33:57] as we're doing this evening.
[33:59] and we also took advantage of
[34:02] instagram.
[34:02] I was very taken with this
[34:05] initiative as many of our
[34:08] audience members were.
[34:09] visitors were, by our educator,
[34:14] erica and our marketing and
[34:16] communications coordinator,
[34:19] jordan.
[34:19] they created these take live
[34:22] studio videos which provided
[34:24] step-by-step instructions which
[34:25] allowed kids to make artwork a
[34:28] home with materials they had o
[34:29] hand.
[34:29] they were successful.%
[34:32] next slide, please.
[34:33] we also had a youth water colou
[34:35] painting workshop.
[34:37] this particular workshop, I
[34:38] believe, had 40 participants.
[34:41] we were very excited about it.
[34:43] it sold out very quickly.
[34:44] we had a long waiting list.
[34:46] we ended up allowing everyone
[34:48] on
[34:48] the waiting list into the
[34:50] workshop.
[34:50] one of the things that
[34:53] transitioning to on-line
[34:54] platforms did was it allowed u
[34:56] to broaden our reach.
[34:57] so in our march break camp and
[34:59] also in this youth water colou
[35:01] workshop, we had a few
[35:03] participants, one was from
[35:05] india.
[35:05] one was from the u.k. Which
[35:09] allowed us to broaden the scope
[35:11] of who we could serve through
[35:14] our courses and workshops.
[35:16] next slide, please.
[35:18] we also transitioned our publi
[35:20] programs to be on-line.
[35:22] this is a screen shot from one
[35:24] such program which featured a
[35:29] vancouver-based performance
[35:31] artist.
[35:31] her frequent collaborator who
[35:35] was also a performance based
[35:37] artist.
[35:37] lori is based in australia.
[35:40] zoom allowed us to bring the t
[35:42] wo
[35:42] together to deliver their talk.
[35:46] we had 40 attendees, which was
[35:49] great.
[35:49] particularly considering a lot
[35:50] of people are having zoom
[35:52] fatigue.
[35:52] another point I wanted to
[35:54] mention was our assistant
[35:56] curator led a tour of deed
[35:59] exhibitions.
[35:59] we had 70 participants for tha
[36:04] on-line tour.
[36:05] 81 people viewed it after the
[36:07] fact.
[36:07] that was quite successful.
[36:11] I should also mention both tho
[36:12] se
[36:12] exhibitions received
[36:13] international reviews in leadi
[36:16] ng
[36:16] art journals.
[36:17] next slide, please.
[36:18] we have tried to take advantage
[36:22] of our on-line presence or
[36:24] increase it, rather.
[36:27] next slide, please.
[36:28] we have established two new
[36:29] programs where we are offering
[36:33] highlights from our past
[36:37] oakville galleries catalogue
[36:39] publications.
[36:39] and we have also started a
[36:43] program called collection
[36:44] highlights.
[36:44] what that program consists of
[36:47] are staff picks where each
[36:50] selecting a work.
[36:51] we are sharing what it is about
[36:52] this work that speaks to us.
[36:54] - it's allowing us, this is
[36:56] shared through instagram.
[36:57] this is allowing us not only t
[36:59] share more of our collection
[37:01] with the public.
[37:02] but it's also allowing us to
[37:05] provide tools for looking at
[37:07] attar to our audiences.
[37:08] for those who may not be as
[37:10] familiar with different ways o
[37:12] deciphering artworks, we're
[37:14] using lay person's language to
[37:16] describe the c composition of
[37:18] works, to describes the consent
[37:20] and ideas behind them.
[37:21] and we're hoping to increase o
[37:24] ur
[37:24] engagement of our programs
[37:26] through this platform.
[37:28] next slide, please.
[37:29] I'm going to wrap this up.
[37:34] I don't want to take up too much
[37:36] of your time.
[37:37] what we're planning on doing I
[37:39] the next six months are really
[37:41] looking at the site because we
[37:44] likely will not be here for muc
[37:46] longer.
[37:46] we're trying to create
[37:48] programming that takes advanta
[37:49] ge
[37:49] of beautiful gardens we have.
[37:51] and the wondrous lake ontario.
[37:54] we're looking at developing a
[37:56] sign art project that could tak
[37:58] place and take advantage of th
[37:59] gardens next year.
[38:01] we're looking at developing a
[38:03] performance program.
[38:05] and also gallery-based
[38:07] programming that explores theme
[38:10] of water ecological issues.
[38:12] personal experiences with water
[38:14] those types of things.
[38:16] we're looking at using our
[38:18] social media presence in on-li
[38:21] ne
[38:21] programming to continue to gro
[38:22] the reach of our audiences and
[38:24] to also develop different ways
[38:26] for local audiences to have to
[38:31] experience programming that
[38:32] capitalizes on their in-person
[38:34] experiences at the galleries.
[38:37] we're also really excited.
[38:38] I'm excited in particular a lot
[38:41] of covid restrictions seem to
[38:43] be
[38:43] lifting because this will allow
[38:45] me an opportunity to go out and
[38:46] meet the different community
[38:47] partners in person.
[38:49] I started having visits with
[38:52] some of the senior cultural
[38:54] managers from the town.
[38:56] I had a great meeting with thr
[38:57] ee
[38:57] of them last friday.
[38:58] I'm looking forward to meeting
[39:00] more cultural groups in person
[39:02] and figuring out how we can
[39:04] collaborate on programming and
[39:06] grow the gallery and grow our
[39:08] presence and make people more
[39:09] aware of what we do and make
[39:11] them feel more welcome.
[39:13] to do this, what we're going t
[39:14] do is we are going to develop
[39:16] strategic plan.
[39:18] our recent one had a five year
[39:21] scope.
[39:21] it recently ended.
[39:23] I'm looking at developing a new
[39:24] one.
[39:24] that will take my vision for t
[39:26] he
[39:26] galleries into account as well
[39:28] as input from staff and our
[39:29] board.
[39:29] and different community
[39:32] stakeholders and that will lea
[39:33] us into the fundraising study
[39:39] that will help us to guide our
[39:40] vision for our next home.
[39:44] I think I'll just end things
[39:45] there.
[39:45] I want to again thank the mayor
[39:47] for the time to allow me to let
[39:51] you know what we have been up t
[39:53] and introduce myself to the
[39:53] councillors.
[39:53] >> mayor burton: thank you ver
[39:55] much for the presentation.
[39:56] I'm excited at the vision of
[39:59] public engagement that you're
[40:00] bringing to the job.
[40:02] this institution that you're
[40:03] leading has a long and cherish
[40:06] ed
[40:06] relationship with the town.
[40:09] and I'm hoping that together we
[40:11] can lift it to new heights of
[40:14] popularity and engagement with
[40:15] the public.
[40:16] and I'll just, just in case let
[40:21] me ask if there's councillors
[40:23] with questions for you before
[40:25] we
[40:25] let you go.
[40:25] council, are there any questio
[40:29] questions?
[40:29] all right.
[40:31] thank you so much.
[40:32] I'm so glad you have joined us.
[40:34] I appreciate the information
[40:35] that you gave us.
[40:36] you have a very engaging way o
[40:38] telling the story.
[40:39] and I think that's going to do
[40:41] the galleries a world of good.
[40:43] thank you so much.
[40:43] >> thank you.
[40:45] have a good evening.
[40:46] bye-bye.
[40:46] >> mayor burton: bye-bye.
[40:49] council, we now come to the
[40:52] point in the agenda where we
[40:56] resolve into committee of the
[40:57] whole.
[40:57] a motion and second, councillo
[40:59] grant.
[40:59] I saw your hand before
[41:01] technology cut everybody away.
[41:07] there's councillor lishchyna.
[41:08] there we go.
[41:10] councillor grant and councillo
[41:11] lishchyna.
[41:11] any objection?
[41:13] no objection being seen.
[41:14] that carries.
[41:15] council, we have five consent
[41:18] items.
[41:18] and one confidential consent
[41:21] item.
[41:21] I know you studied these repor
[41:25] ts
[41:25] and you're familiar with our
[41:27] consent custom.
[41:28] is there a mover for the conse
[41:31] nt
[41:31] items?
[41:31] councillor o'meara.
[41:34] >> councillor: your worship, I
[41:36] was wondering if we could just
[41:37] maybe pull out the park names
[41:40] item for discussion.
[41:41] I have a question about that
[41:42] one.
[41:42] >> mayor burton: sure.
[41:44] >> councillor: I would be happy
[41:45] to move the rest.
[41:45] >> mayor burton: thank you.
[41:47] council, is there any objection
[41:48] to the others?
[41:52] madam clerk, seeing none,
[41:53] they're carried.
[41:55] councillor o'meara, park names
[41:58] did you want one named for
[41:59] anyone in particular?
[42:02] >> councillor: we can come to
[42:02] that at a different point, I
[42:04] think.
[42:04] but no.
[42:05] for this one, I just wanted to
[42:07] ask staff about the bronte
[42:11] square naming for the lakeshore
[42:14] road park.
[42:15] I believe that's going to be t
[42:16] he
[42:16] market square in the new
[42:18] development at the mall.
[42:20] but I had thought that we had
[42:23] talked about a different name
[42:24] for that rather than bronte
[42:25] square.
[42:25] I thought we had talked about
[42:30] harbour square or a different
[42:32] name.
[42:32] I'm not sure if that's the nam
[42:36] we had agreed upon or not.
[42:37] maybe staff can speak to that I
[42:39] that's ok.
[42:40] >> mayor burton: all right.
[42:41] well, is mr. Mark available.
[42:46] in his place cao clohecy.
[42:50] >> I believe you have chris mar
[42:54] on the line right now.
[42:56] >> mayor burton: there he is.
[42:56] welcome, mark.
[42:57] >> good evening, mayor burton
[42:58] and members of council.
[43:01] councillor o'meara, we did go
[43:06] back and forth with names.
[43:07] the one regarding harbour
[43:08] square, we were concerned
[43:10] because we already have a
[43:12] harbourside park.
[43:14] but if you wish to take that o
[43:18] ne
[43:18] out of the agenda for this
[43:19] evening, we could certainly hav
[43:21] further discussion with you on
[43:22] that.
[43:22] and come back at a later date.
[43:24] it's not going to be built jus
[43:26] quite yet.
[43:27] we can still have further
[43:28] discussion if you prefer on the
[43:29] naming of that square.
[43:31] >> councillor: yeah.
[43:32] if we could do that.
[43:33] I appreciate it.
[43:33] bronte is a long road.
[43:35] and I just like to make sure we
[43:37] have something that speaks
[43:39] specific to the area that peopl
[43:42] won't go.
[43:43] you mean the bronte here or
[43:44] there.
[43:44] perhaps if we don't mind, - we
[43:47] can have more discussion over
[43:48] that one, if that's ok.
[43:49] >> mayor burton: all right.
[43:50] >> absolutely.
[43:51] >> mayor burton: that works.
[43:52] councillor, your motion,
[43:53] assuming you still want to move
[43:56] it, we approve all but that one
[43:57] that leaves that one open for
[43:59] you.
[43:59] >> councillor: that would be
[44:03] fantastic.
[44:03] >> mayor burton: I take it I
[44:05] have your agreement to that.
[44:06] I just saw a hand from
[44:08] councillor haslett-theall.
[44:10] >> councillor: mayor burton, I
[44:14] had my hand up earlier about
[44:16] 7.5.
[44:16] but I'm fine with what
[44:18] councillor o'meara is doing.
[44:19] I had a question on 7.5, which
[44:22] got moved without my hand being
[44:24] seen.
[44:24] when it's appropriate, I would
[44:26] like to ask that question.
[44:28] >> mayor burton: you can ask
[44:29] that any time now or offline,
[44:33] later, depending on what the
[44:34] need is.
[44:37] sometimes we want to ask a
[44:39] question for the benefit of the
[44:41] public.
[44:41] it's your choice.
[44:42] >> councillor: my question is
[44:43] in
[44:43] terms of privacy on 7.5, when
[44:47] they put the sticker on the
[44:48] door, is it in an envelope suc
[44:53] that an individual's issue
[44:58] related to a property standard
[45:00] are not for everybody to read o
[45:01] their doorstep.
[45:03] and it's a technical procedura
[45:05] thing, but it does speak to
[45:08] giving some people a sense of
[45:10] privacy that not everybody nee
[45:12] ds
[45:12] to know what they violated thi
[45:14] week.
[45:14] >> mayor burton: mr. Barry is
[45:17] here to reassure you.
[45:18] mr. Barry.
[45:23] >> through you, mr. Mayor.
[45:26] when property standards orders
[45:28] or lot maintenance orders are
[45:30] issued, they are put on the doo
[45:32] visible.
[45:32] it's visible so someone can kno
[45:39] an order is issued.
[45:41] that's how municipalities deal
[45:42] with property standards.
[45:44] >> mayor burton: when the grass
[45:45] is 12 inches high, everybody I
[45:47] the neighbourhood wants to kno
[45:48] they have been served I guess I
[45:50] the way to put it.
[45:52] >> councillor: so I understand
[45:53] that.
[45:53] but are there some more
[45:56] sensitive where some judgment I
[45:59] used?
[45:59] >> through you, mr. Mayor, the
[46:02] do become part of the public
[46:03] record.
[46:03] they're not something that's
[46:05] protected by freedom of
[46:07] information or something we
[46:10] would - in any case, with a
[46:12] property standards, lot
[46:13] maintenance decide keep them
[46:14] secretive in any way.
[46:16] unlike certain charges that
[46:18] might be, provincial offenses
[46:19] act charge.
[46:20] >> councillor: ok.
[46:21] thanks for clarifying that for
[46:22] me.
[46:22] >> mayor burton: bottom line I
[46:27] keep your property in order.
[46:29] all right.
[46:29] council, thank you.
[46:31] we can now move to the
[46:33] discussion items.
[46:37] we have five and one cold
[46:38] fro- we have fiveitems and one
[46:45] confidential.
[46:47] our first is 9.1.
[46:50] ms. Clohecy, you have the zoom.
[46:52] >> mayor and members of council
[46:59] I have a brief update for you
[47:00] today.
[47:00] things are really looking up a
[47:03] nd
[47:03] being positive.
[47:05] and you can definitely see thi
[47:07] from the graph here.
[47:09] the sharp decline of the line
[47:12] in
[47:12] the last couple of weeks,
[47:14] actually, has been quite
[47:15] outstanding.
[47:15] I think there is 270 cases in
[47:19] ontario today.
[47:21] of which that's the lowest we
[47:22] have seen since september 15th
[47:26] september 15th.
[47:27] that's certainly welcome news.
[47:29] everyone is feeling a great dea
[47:30] of relief as the numbers start
[47:31] to drop down.
[47:33] the only caution is the delta
[47:37] variant is still there.
[47:38] it's a bit of uncertain what
[47:40] kind of an impact it will have.
[47:42] but as the number of people get
[47:45] their vaccinations, two dosages
[47:48] and the numbers continue to
[47:50] decline, we should hopefully
[47:53] stay in a positive position.
[47:55] as you know, the province
[47:57] started on june 11 with step
[47:59] one.
[47:59] in a three-step process in ord
[48:02] er
[48:02] to move us through the balance
[48:04] of this pandemic.
[48:07] and we have responded with all
[48:09] of the services in terms of the
[48:11] town in getting them open and
[48:14] running in accordance with tha
[48:15] step one.
[48:17] when they had first announced
[48:18] the step process, they had
[48:21] indicated that in order to mov
[48:23] from step 1 to 2, you can see a
[48:26] the top of the chart, 70% of
[48:30] adultsed needed a first dosage.
[48:34] dosage20% full vaccination.
[48:39] we stand at 74% for first
[48:41] dosage.
[48:41] and 21% having been fully
[48:46] vaccinated.
[48:46] they said they would leave 21
[48:52] days between the two.
[48:54] if we use that as a measure,
[48:56] that would mean on july 1st,
[48:59] we could potentially see us
[49:00] moving to step 2.
[49:03] I think as I said at the last
[49:04] meeting, I can't give you any
[49:07] certainty of any dates in movin
[49:10] forward.
[49:10] there has been a lots of
[49:12] positive talk about perhaps
[49:14] opening a few days earlier tha
[49:16] that.
[49:16] really it is a provincial
[49:17] decision.
[49:17] we'll leave it up to them when
[49:20] they want to move us into step
[49:22] 2.
[49:22] but the dosages is in favour o
[49:26] moving along quickly.
[49:27] specific on the vaccination
[49:31] program, you can see the numbe
[49:33] rs
[49:33] there.
[49:33] this is specific for halton.
[49:36] we have about 76 of our
[49:38] population actually with a fir
[49:40] st
[49:40] vaccination.
[49:40] and just under 20% with the
[49:44] second vaccination.
[49:46] the region has been consistentl
[49:48] accelerating the timing of the
[49:52] second dosage.
[49:53] this point in time, anyone who
[49:55] has been vaccinated prior to m
[49:59] ay
[49:59] 30th then are eligible to
[50:00] rebook their second appointment
[50:02] at an earlier date.
[50:04] the best place to look for any
[50:06] changes in the vaccination of
[50:07] course is the region's website
[50:09] it is all dependent on the
[50:11] supply.
[50:11] we have heard this week that t
[50:14] he
[50:14] pfizer supply has been delayed
[50:17] which means the region is now
[50:19] shifting over to moderna the
[50:21] next couple of days before
[50:22] getting a better understanding
[50:23] of what is the supply coming I
[50:26] n.
[50:26] the region's website is the bes
[50:27] place to look.
[50:29] the vaccinations though are
[50:31] proceeding as they were planned
[50:33] just with some changes.
[50:35] positive news on the vaccinati
[50:36] on
[50:36] front.
[50:36] most definitely.
[50:40] we had other promising news
[50:42] today.
[50:42] everyone is anxious to travel.
[50:47] what has been announced.
[50:48] it was announced this morning.
[50:51] these are a few facts I have
[50:52] from it.
[50:55] canadians and permanent
[50:56] residents fully vaccinated can
[50:58] come into canada without
[51:00] requiring the self-quarantining
[51:03] as of midnight of july 5th.
[51:06] that's positive news.
[51:11] vaccinations are proceeding as
[51:21] planned just with changes.
[51:22] positive news on the vaccinati
[51:23] on
[51:23] front.
[51:23] most definitely.
[51:27] we had other promising news
[51:29] today.
[51:29] everyone is anxious to travel.
[51:33] right now, what has been
[51:34] announced.
[51:34] it was announced this morning.
[51:37] so these are a few facts that
[51:39] have from it.
[51:42] canadians and permanent
[51:43] residents fully vaccinated can
[51:45] come into canada without
[51:47] requiring the self-quarantining
[51:50] as of I think it's midnight of
[51:52] july 5th.
[51:53] that's positive news.
[51:56] they're working towards the
[51:58] vaccine passport talked about
[52:00] the last couple of weeks.
[52:05] this would give the
[52:10] certification to be able to
[52:11] travel.
[52:11] at this min point in time, the
[52:14] u.s.
[52:15] border remains closed.
[52:16] it's only at this point we
[52:18] understand the canadians and
[52:20] permanent residents can move
[52:21] across the borders.
[52:23] we expect those things to be
[52:25] unraveling quickly.
[52:28] progressing so more of us can
[52:30] travel.
[52:30] which is again some positive
[52:33] news getting back to normal
[52:34] again.
[52:34] in terms of a staff update,
[52:39] there are three pieces I just
[52:40] wanted to update on you.
[52:42] vaccination program, we're
[52:43] continuing to encourage staff t
[52:45] get vaccinated as soon as
[52:46] possible.
[52:46] so they have been watching the
[52:49] ir
[52:49] own websites in the places the
[52:51] live.
[52:51] we have been giving them every
[52:53] opportunity with staff time in
[52:54] order to go out and get their
[52:56] vaccination.
[52:56] that's proceeding well.
[52:59] I think as we talked the last
[53:01] time we're not tracking that.
[53:02] it's not really something we c
[53:04] an
[53:04] track and do really anything
[53:06] with.
[53:06] but the encouragement is there
[53:09] in all correspondence with
[53:10] staff.
[53:10] we had also done our second
[53:14] pulse survey.
[53:15] the end of may we had done it.
[53:17] it's an opportunity to measure
[53:20] staff's engagement.
[53:25] about 58% of the staff respond
[53:30] responded.
[53:30] and the company who undertakes
[53:35] the pulse survey on our behalf
[53:38] measures the engagement or
[53:41] engagement score.
[53:43] and we sit within the highly
[53:46] performing staff group.
[53:48] anyone over 60% based on a
[53:50] series of questions they ask,
[53:52] fit within that group.
[53:53] we're at 78% in terms of the
[53:56] engagement of staff in the wor
[53:58] they do, which is a very
[53:59] positive number.
[54:01] there are some with any survey.
[54:03] you get feedback in terms of
[54:05] things we need to be doing.
[54:07] in terms of some of our mental
[54:09] health programs and improving
[54:11] our employee support programs.
[54:14] those types of things.
[54:15] and there was a definite
[54:18] response rate between internal
[54:20] staff and the staff that are
[54:22] constantly on site and staff
[54:24] that are off-site working
[54:26] remotely.
[54:26] it's another piece we need to
[54:29] deal with, staff morale and
[54:31] moving forward.
[54:32] the last piece is we have
[54:35] improved as of june 1st,
[54:37] access to mental health
[54:38] benefits.
[54:38] mental health is an ongoing
[54:40] issue throughout the community
[54:42] our staff are equally affected
[54:44] by that.
[54:46] we have made improvements so
[54:49] they have better access and
[54:50] quicker access to mental healt
[54:51] supports through our employee
[54:52] assistance program.
[54:55] that's changes we have done on
[54:56] the staff as a staff update.
[54:58] municipal enforcement.
[55:01] certainly with nice weather tha
[55:05] we have had, have been out on a
[55:11] ongoing basis.
[55:13] anxiousness for everyone to get
[55:15] back to normal.
[55:15] they have been responding to
[55:16] these series of concerns out
[55:20] there in the community.
[55:21] and they're listed there.
[55:22] I won't repeat them.
[55:23] that has been an active role f
[55:27] or
[55:27] municipal enforcement.
[55:29] this is a slide as a reminder o
[55:39] what is open as a result of ste
[55:41] 1.
[55:41] moving into step 2, whenever
[55:44] that happens, by the province,
[55:47] will increase capacity limits
[55:49] and outdoor areas.
[55:51] and it will start to introduce
[55:53] some small indoor gatherings
[55:55] that could occur.
[55:56] the kinds of town services that
[55:58] would be impacted by that woul
[56:00] be our sports fields could mov
[56:01] into a more of a fully
[56:04] permitting process.
[56:06] outdoor tours, for example,
[56:08] oakville museum could start.
[56:11] wedding ceremony events within
[56:12] our parks and our facilities.
[56:15] but that would be almost it in
[56:18] terms of step 2.
[56:19] step 3 moves us into a lot mor
[56:21] opportunities for indoor
[56:23] activities.
[56:23] there's library improvements to
[56:26] just in terms of having access
[56:29] to the stacks.
[56:29] those are town services.
[56:34] and of course our message has
[56:36] been going forward.
[56:37] particularly through municipal
[56:41] enforcement is be kinds.
[56:42] we're going to get through thi
[56:44] s.
[56:44] it looks like we're moving in a
[56:45] positive direction in the last
[56:47] little while.
[56:47] let's hope we continue so we c
[56:49] an
[56:49] get back to seeing each other
[56:50] again.
[56:50] - thank you very much.
[56:55] >> mayor burton: council, do y
[56:56] ou
[56:56] have questions?
[56:57] council adams.
[57:01] >> councillor: thank you for t
[57:03] he
[57:03] presentation.
[57:03] things are looking good.
[57:04] a couple of questions for how
[57:07] town hall is operating.
[57:09] are we looking at bringing
[57:11] things back into town hall in
[57:13] terms of actually having publi
[57:15] meetings and that sort of thing
[57:17] once we get into the final
[57:19] stage?
[57:19] >> as we move - let me update
[57:24] for town hall at this point in
[57:26] time.
[57:26] service oakville is open.
[57:28] it opened as we moved into ste
[57:30] 1.
[57:30] anyone can come into the
[57:32] facility to do business at
[57:34] service oakville.
[57:35] we have almost everything
[57:35] on-line.
[57:35] you can always access through
[57:39] that venue.
[57:39] it's probably the best and
[57:41] easiest one for people to go t
[57:43] o.
[57:43] in terms of public meetings, I
[57:46] don't expect those to happen
[57:47] into step 3 or perhaps even
[57:49] beyond just because of the
[57:50] gathering limits indoors.
[57:52] I think it's part of step 2 we
[57:54] move to five people.
[57:55] I think as, - I don't have the
[57:58] numbers for the step 3.
[58:01] we have not put in our plans
[58:03] moving into public meetings or
[58:05] returning to a council format
[58:08] at
[58:08] this point in time.
[58:09] the social distancing limits
[58:12] need to be reduced in order for
[58:14] us to accommodate that in the
[58:15] facilities that we do have.
[58:18] >> councillor: great.
[58:20] last question I have for you.
[58:21] we still have emergency
[58:25] declarations in place throughou
[58:27] the region.
[58:28] has there been discussion among
[58:30] the senior staff around the nee
[58:33] to continue having that and if
[58:35] not at what point would we hav
[58:37] a discussion about in a joint
[58:39] kind of way stepping away from
[58:41] those emergency declarations?
[58:44] >> we have had some discussions
[58:45] as a group of h halton caos.
[58:51] our consensus was that at this
[58:54] point in time, just entering o
[58:56] just moving into the step one
[58:58] was not an appropriate time to
[59:00] be taking a lot of the emergen
[59:02] cy
[59:02] declaration off.
[59:03] we have the delta variant, whic
[59:05] is still a bit of a a little b
[59:07] it
[59:07] of a wild card.
[59:08] and understanding what that
[59:10] implication could or could not
[59:11] be needs to happen.
[59:13] - as we move into the steps,
[59:15] really as we start to get into
[59:16] step 3, is the timeframe we
[59:19] could start to consider the
[59:20] removal of the emergency
[59:21] declaration.
[59:21] >> councillor: great.
[59:24] thank you so much for everythin
[59:25] that you and all the staff are
[59:27] doing and continuing to do.
[59:31] >> mayor burton: thank you,
[59:31] councillor.
[59:31] councillor robertson.
[59:36] >> councillor: thank you for t
[59:37] he
[59:37] report, jane.
[59:38] it helps to clarify things,
[59:41] especially going into stages.
[59:43] I have had community concerns
[59:46] about summer camps.
[59:47] and how they will be running a
[59:49] nd
[59:49] what's happening.
[59:51] if they're running in private
[59:53] facilities and how is that
[59:56] addressed by the town?
[1:00:00] >> so I would actually ask if
[1:00:03] doug carr is on to perhaps set
[1:00:05] out what are the requirements
[1:00:07] for summer camps.
[1:00:09] because there is a distinction
[1:00:10] between the indoor and the
[1:00:12] outdoor components of them.
[1:00:14] if doug is on.
[1:00:15] if not, I know I have jim barry
[1:00:18] here who may be able to speak t
[1:00:20] that component.
[1:00:21] and then following that,
[1:00:25] councillor robertson, the
[1:00:26] question about the camps we
[1:00:28] ourselves are offering.
[1:00:29] colleen bell can deal with tha
[1:00:33] I don't see doug but jim is
[1:00:34] here.
[1:00:34] >> through you, mr. Mayor.
[1:00:43] I understand that some of the
[1:00:45] concern is the activity actuall
[1:00:47] being held at some of the summe
[1:00:49] camps.
[1:00:49] that has made its way to
[1:00:51] municipal enforcement.
[1:00:52] we're looking at individual
[1:00:54] circumstances of each of the
[1:00:55] camps that have been brought t
[1:00:57] our attention.
[1:00:57] in general, sports that would b
[1:01:00] played inside such as hockey o
[1:01:03] that type of activity shouldn't
[1:01:05] be played inside as of the
[1:01:08] current state we're at.
[1:01:09] current level we're at.
[1:01:10] if that's the case, enforcement
[1:01:12] staff will be out, find out
[1:01:14] exactly what is going on and
[1:01:16] make sure they're in complianc
[1:01:17] over the next short period of
[1:01:18] time.
[1:01:18] >> councillor: thank you.
[1:01:21] because I know camps are alrea
[1:01:23] on the list this week because
[1:01:25] private schools are out already
[1:01:26] so some camps are already
[1:01:27] running.
[1:01:27] >> through you, mr. Mayor, the
[1:01:32] only thing I advise.
[1:01:33] some camps I did look at.
[1:01:36] they are registering now, it w
[1:01:37] for a camp later in the summer.
[1:01:38] it is possible that will they
[1:01:40] are anticipating a move to
[1:01:42] another level which they then
[1:01:44] may comply at.
[1:01:45] but as enforcement staff look
[1:01:47] the individual circumstances,
[1:01:48] we'll be able to determine
[1:01:49] better.
[1:01:49] >> councillor: thank you so
[1:01:52] much.
[1:01:52] >> mayor burton: thank you,
[1:01:55] councillor.
[1:01:55] councillor lishchyna, you had
[1:01:57] your - you have your electric
[1:02:00] hand up.
[1:02:00] you have the zoom.
[1:02:03] >> councillor: thank you, your
[1:02:04] worship.
[1:02:04] jjust a follow-up to councillo
[1:02:08] robertson's question.
[1:02:09] I thought commissioner bell was
[1:02:11] going to mention.
[1:02:12] I'm curious about our wait tim
[1:02:14] for our camps.
[1:02:16] ho that's been going.
[1:02:21] >> through you, mr. Chair.
[1:02:23] we currently have 2940 campers
[1:02:28] ready to go out of a possible
[1:02:33] 3386 placements right now.
[1:02:35] we have 947 registrants on the
[1:02:40] wait list.
[1:02:40] however, some of the people on
[1:02:42] the wait list are actually
[1:02:45] looking at later times.
[1:02:48] so we had a huge uptake.
[1:02:50] we're really pleased to be able
[1:02:53] to process so many.
[1:02:54] this is almost double the numbe
[1:02:56] of placements we were doing at
[1:02:58] this time last year.
[1:02:59] we're definitely on the right
[1:03:00] track.
[1:03:00] >> councillor: that's great to
[1:03:04] hear.
[1:03:04] thank you very much.
[1:03:05] >> mayor burton: thank you,
[1:03:07] councillor.
[1:03:07] councillor haslett-theall.
[1:03:10] >> councillor: thank you, mayor
[1:03:11] burton.
[1:03:11] I'm not sure if jim wants me t
[1:03:14] ask this question now or when h
[1:03:16] gets to waterfront park.
[1:03:18] I have a question about parks o
[1:03:20] patrol and about resource
[1:03:22] allocation across the parks,
[1:03:24] including evening coverage,
[1:03:28] because while we're making gre
[1:03:30] progress, we're also starting
[1:03:33] see evening behaviour being
[1:03:35] challenging to the point of
[1:03:37] disrupting people's sleep and
[1:03:40] people are concerned about the
[1:03:41] response times.
[1:03:43] and perhaps jim could give us
[1:03:46] all some greater insight into
[1:03:48] how the resources are spread
[1:03:50] across all of our great parks
[1:03:51] and including covering the
[1:03:54] waterfront.
[1:03:54] >> I'm going to suggest jim
[1:03:57] gives you that update now rathe
[1:03:59] than as part of the waterfront
[1:04:00] parking.
[1:04:00] >> through you, mr. Mayor to t
[1:04:09] councillor.
[1:04:09] thank you for the question.
[1:04:12] there's quite a lot happening I
[1:04:14] our parks and waterfront areas
[1:04:15] now.
[1:04:15] as indicated earlier this year
[1:04:20] when we brought on our park
[1:04:23] officers and park ambassadors,
[1:04:25] we have several occasions acros
[1:04:26] the town with static officers
[1:04:28] and ambassadors on site, bront
[1:04:31] bluffs, tannery park and
[1:04:33] coronation park.
[1:04:34] we have officers and ambassado
[1:04:37] there on a regular basis.
[1:04:38] we also have a list of other
[1:04:40] parks and it really goes throu
[1:04:44] most of the parks we have where
[1:04:46] we have mobile patrols on with
[1:04:48] our parks officers.
[1:04:49] and even larger list where we
[1:04:52] have parks ambassadors going t
[1:04:54] them.
[1:04:54] visiting them on a regular bas
[1:04:56] usually once or twice a day.
[1:04:59] to address the issues on long
[1:05:02] weekends, we have extra staff
[1:05:03] in.
[1:05:03] and I'll remind council, we
[1:05:06] hired 16 park officers.
[1:05:10] eight are full time.
[1:05:11] and the rest are part-time.
[1:05:13] so we use those staff to augme
[1:05:16] any vacations or sick time that
[1:05:18] will occur.
[1:05:18] but also to make sure we have a
[1:05:20] static number of staff visitin
[1:05:24] our parks regularly.
[1:05:26] we hired and this is for the
[1:05:28] year, not ongoing, but eight
[1:05:31] additional mobile compliance
[1:05:32] officers to augus augment the 1
[1:05:39] 2 we
[1:05:40] have.
[1:05:40] they add to the daily platoon
[1:05:42] numbers.
[1:05:42] we have an increased number of
[1:05:44] staff available to respond to
[1:05:45] calls.
[1:05:45] if I look at just hours, betwe
[1:05:51] may 21 and june 20th, we have
[1:05:55] had our park officers have don
[1:05:58] 504 patrols of parks that have
[1:06:00] taken up 280 hours of staff
[1:06:02] time.
[1:06:02] our police on parks patrol
[1:06:07] program have been out 20 times
[1:06:11] and our ambassadors have
[1:06:14] conducted 1385 patrols with 174
[1:06:20] hours of staff time.
[1:06:21] as you can see, we're spending
[1:06:23] quite a bit of time out in the
[1:06:25] parks trying to get the word o
[1:06:27] and make sure waoepl are peopl
[1:06:31] e are
[1:06:31] complying with regulations.
[1:06:33] >> councillor: thank you for
[1:06:34] that, as a follow-up, is there
[1:06:37] mobile support into the evening
[1:06:40] I'm excited about the fact we'
[1:06:41] going to actually put
[1:06:43] potentially a time on dusk whe
[1:06:47] the parks close.
[1:06:49] what is the resource support
[1:06:52] later in the evening?
[1:06:53] there's no question we're doing
[1:06:56] everybody is working hard
[1:06:58] throughout the day.
[1:06:59] I don't know that we have
[1:07:00] clarity about what's happening
[1:07:02] in the evening and perhaps you
[1:07:04] could give us some advice
[1:07:06] around, is it still call into
[1:07:11] the non urgent or 911 if the
[1:07:16] noise or behaviour is
[1:07:18] unacceptable to people in the
[1:07:21] community?
[1:07:21] >> I would recommend calling t
[1:07:24] town number, 905-815-6095.
[1:07:27] that's 24-7.
[1:07:34] residents will get a response.
[1:07:35] the other non emergency police
[1:07:35] number, 825-4777 [905] we like
[1:07:44] to direct by-law matters to the
[1:07:47] town where possible.
[1:07:47] with respect to your question
[1:07:49] about into the evening, we hav
[1:07:51] a tiered response to that.
[1:07:52] again, we have the eight
[1:07:55] additional mobile compliance
[1:07:56] officers that have been hired
[1:07:57] for the year.
[1:07:59] bringing our numbers up to abo
[1:08:01] 20 officers.
[1:08:02] they're on shift 24-7.
[1:08:04] you're always going to have,
[1:08:05] three, four, five officers on
[1:08:07] duty to respond to those calls
[1:08:09] our parks officers, that
[1:08:10] augments that group.
[1:08:12] they work till about 10:00,
[1:08:14] depending on timing.
[1:08:15] we don't like to keep them out
[1:08:17] in the parks too late because
[1:08:19] they are out there on their own
[1:08:21] they're a level down from the
[1:08:22] mobile compliance officers.
[1:08:24] our parks ambassadors are the
[1:08:26] same thing.
[1:08:26] we like to bring them in aroun
[1:08:29] dark just making sure they're
[1:08:30] not out in the park after that.
[1:08:33] I will note that we also have
[1:08:34] our municipal standards
[1:08:35] investigators out during the
[1:08:37] day.
[1:08:37] but they also work into the
[1:08:39] evening and assist our mobile
[1:08:40] compliance officers, as well.
[1:08:42] >> councillor: this additional
[1:08:45] detail is helpful.
[1:08:46] hopefully some of the public
[1:08:49] noted some of those numbers, et
[1:08:51] cetera.
[1:08:51] for 100% clarity, if they're
[1:08:57] just making a heck of a racket,
[1:09:00] and potentially, I mean, they
[1:09:02] could be drinking or whatever,
[1:09:03] in the parks or on the road
[1:09:05] network there, you want them t
[1:09:08] call the town's number?
[1:09:12] is there a sense of a response
[1:09:14] time because we often get asked
[1:09:18] will somebody get out here
[1:09:19] quickly?
[1:09:19] >> through you, mr. Mayor.
[1:09:21] what I can say is it will get
[1:09:23] dispatched into our system rig
[1:09:25] away.
[1:09:25] as soon as they call in, call
[1:09:27] taker will take it.
[1:09:28] it will go into the system.
[1:09:29] response time is more difficult
[1:09:32] for me to speak to.
[1:09:35] officers are in the field.
[1:09:37] it could take time at one call
[1:09:39] which will delay them respondin
[1:09:41] to other calls.
[1:09:43] if they call that number, it
[1:09:44] will go into the system right
[1:09:45] away.
[1:09:45] officers will pick it up in
[1:09:47] priority and respond to the cal
[1:09:49] as soon as they can.
[1:09:51] thank you for that.
[1:09:52] from your experience and with
[1:09:55] your insight with your
[1:09:56] colleagues across the province,
[1:09:59] do you feel we are staffed at
[1:10:01] the level to address the deman
[1:10:06] or are there - is there
[1:10:08] anything else you need from
[1:10:10] council to support the
[1:10:13] requirements in the parks and I
[1:10:16] the evening?
[1:10:17] >> through you, mr. Mayor, I
[1:10:19] think we have got an excellent
[1:10:20] program.
[1:10:20] I would put the program, we hav
[1:10:23] put together up against any
[1:10:24] other in the province.
[1:10:26] thr-tz always going to be times
[1:10:30] when - there's going to be
[1:10:33] times when there's more activit
[1:10:34] in the community than we can
[1:10:35] respond to.
[1:10:36] we will get to those calls.
[1:10:37] if it's a repeating situation,
[1:10:38] officers will get out there the
[1:10:40] next time and make sure we get
[1:10:41] to it.
[1:10:42] >> councillor: thank you for a
[1:10:43] you do for us.
[1:10:44] >> mayor burton: thank you,
[1:10:46] councillor.
[1:10:46] seeing no more questions, is
[1:10:49] there a motion to receive?
[1:10:53] councillor gittings.
[1:10:54] thank you very much.
[1:10:55] any objection?
[1:10:57] madam clerk, being no objection
[1:10:59] that's carried.
[1:11:01] all right.
[1:11:01] council, we now turn to 9.2,
[1:11:04] waterfront parks, by-law 2021-
[1:11:12] 2021-80, 82.
[1:11:15] we have the manager of strateg
[1:11:17] and support services with us f
[1:11:18] your questions.
[1:11:21] and she has a slide show for
[1:11:23] you, as well.
[1:11:25] may assist the public to
[1:11:26] understand it, as well.
[1:11:29] so you have the zoom.
[1:11:32] >> thank you.
[1:11:33] good evening, mayor burton,
[1:11:34] members of council, we have
[1:11:36] before you a report and
[1:11:37] recommendations to make
[1:11:39] improvements to parking lots t
[1:11:41] waterfront parks.
[1:11:44] as well, options for council's
[1:11:46] consideration should they wish
[1:11:47] to increase control in
[1:11:49] management of parking lots at
[1:11:51] bronte beach and tannery park.
[1:11:53] as you may recall, cao up dates
[1:12:03] there were visitors to
[1:12:04] oakville's waterfront parks
[1:12:07] resulting in overcrowding and
[1:12:08] concerns at the parking lots.
[1:12:10] just perspective, we had stats
[1:12:14] fromen vironics.
[1:12:26] almost 120,000 visits.
[1:12:29] a significant increase.
[1:12:30] a lot could be related to covid
[1:12:33] a number of programs were
[1:12:34] implemented last year to help
[1:12:35] address those concerns.
[1:12:37] some increased into this year,
[1:12:39] as well.
[1:12:40] parks ambassador.
[1:12:42] police on parks patrol.
[1:12:44] social media campaigns.
[1:12:46] if the parking lot is full,
[1:12:49] please come back another time
[1:12:50] and enjoy another park.
[1:12:52] provision areas to help deal
[1:12:54] with parking restrictions and
[1:12:57] overflow parking into
[1:12:57] residential areas.
[1:13:02] officers observed numbers of
[1:13:07] vehicle issues, including
[1:13:09] vehicles parked on the grass,
[1:13:10] roadways, obstructing access,
[1:13:14] blocking vehicles.
[1:13:15] parking overnight.
[1:13:18] also overflow into residential
[1:13:20] areas.
[1:13:20] we have numerous pictures.
[1:13:26] however, the best ones are the
[1:13:28] ones on the grass showing a car
[1:13:30] parked overnight is a difficul
[1:13:32] picture to look at.
[1:13:33] as a result of the increased
[1:13:35] park issues, there were
[1:13:36] increased parking violations.
[1:13:38] comparing 2019 in bronte beach
[1:13:41] park, 137 tickets for the same
[1:13:43] time in 2020 over 500 tickets.
[1:13:45] 6 as a result of these issues
[1:13:50] and increases, staff undertook
[1:13:53] review of parking lots.
[1:13:56] it was focusing on how the lot
[1:13:57] were used.
[1:14:00] for 2021, the focus of
[1:14:02] improvements were at bronte
[1:14:04] beach park and tannery parks.
[1:14:05] identified as high use.
[1:14:09] and numerous issues.
[1:14:10] both areas provide for mooring
[1:14:15] permit holders.
[1:14:16] bronte beach boat operators wit
[1:14:19] vehicles using the boat launch.
[1:14:21] and their visitors and events
[1:14:25] scorch house.
[1:14:26] mull pamultiple parking lots at
[1:14:30] both
[1:14:30] areas.
[1:14:30] perspective or view of bronte
[1:14:32] beach, there is a main parking
[1:14:34] lot.
[1:14:34] gravel parking lot on west riv
[1:14:37] street.
[1:14:37] berta point.
[1:14:40] bronte harbour yacht club with
[1:14:43] small area.
[1:14:44] bronte bluffs and scorch house
[1:14:46] and sovereign
[1:14:50] house and to the park area.
[1:14:53] note there are 143 boats at
[1:14:56] bronte beach and berta point.
[1:14:58] each permit holders provided
[1:15:01] two parking passes.
[1:15:02] if these holders can't find
[1:15:04] enough parking in the permit
[1:15:06] only areas, they park in the
[1:15:08] public parking spaces on a fir
[1:15:10] come-first serve basis.
[1:15:11] similarly, tannery park area,
[1:15:16] there's three parking areas.
[1:15:18] tannery park itself.
[1:15:21] walker street parking lot.
[1:15:25] on-street parking.
[1:15:31] there are boat permit holders
[1:15:32] there at tannery park.
[1:15:34] oyster bay and with that, each
[1:15:36] permit holder is provided two
[1:15:38] parking passes.
[1:15:39] similar to bronte beach, if th
[1:15:43] can't find parking in permit
[1:15:44] only, they are parking in the
[1:15:45] public parking.
[1:15:46] so the review we undertook
[1:15:53] identified a number of options
[1:15:55] that improved the management a
[1:15:57] control at the parking lot at
[1:15:59] these parks.
[1:16:00] amendments to the parks by-law
[1:16:02] to clarify parking restriction
[1:16:05] and regulations, signage to sho
[1:16:08] requirements, time lines and
[1:16:09] restrictions.
[1:16:09] delineating spaces in areas.
[1:16:13] this would be subject to budge
[1:16:14] and funding approvals.
[1:16:16] adding bike racks to the parks
[1:16:17] to promote cycling to the park.
[1:16:19] subject to budget and funding
[1:16:21] approvals.
[1:16:21] promoting cycling to the park s
[1:16:24] they wouldn't impact the parki
[1:16:25] lots as cars wouldn't be neede
[1:16:27] if there's a bicycle there.
[1:16:28] options to increase parking
[1:16:30] control and management also wer
[1:16:32] considered such as time
[1:16:32] restrictions in paid parking t
[1:16:35] promote turnover of parking
[1:16:37] spaces.
[1:16:37] creating additional parking if
[1:16:40] available is a really great
[1:16:41] opportunity.
[1:16:41] we did identify this at bronte
[1:16:45] marina which could help overflo
[1:16:48] parking to bronte beach.
[1:16:50] controlling overflow parking
[1:16:52] into residential areas.
[1:16:53] council earlier this spring
[1:16:55] approved special provision
[1:16:58] areas.
[1:16:58] these have been implemented in
[1:17:00] bronte beach, tannery,
[1:17:02] coronation and lions valley.
[1:17:07] as with any new parking
[1:17:09] programs, communication is
[1:17:10] critical to advise residents,
[1:17:12] visitors to the parks of the
[1:17:13] rules and regulations.
[1:17:14] with respect to the recommended
[1:17:20] by-law update, we have appear
[1:17:23] number of staff recommendations
[1:17:25] first of all, is the park
[1:17:27] closure.
[1:17:27] the current parks by-law state
[1:17:30] that the parks are closed
[1:17:31] between dusk and they open at
[1:17:33] 6:00 a.m.
[1:17:35] staff are recommending that a
[1:17:37] 10:00 p.m. Closure as a fixed
[1:17:38] time to make it clearer and
[1:17:40] easier to understand when it's
[1:17:42] dusk.
[1:17:42] there's three types of dusk.
[1:17:47] but we won't go into that.
[1:17:49] 10:00 p.m. Closure does not
[1:17:50] preclude walking through the
[1:17:51] park if walking your dog throu
[1:17:53] the park or a stroll through t
[1:17:54] park.
[1:17:54] doesn't prevent being in the
[1:17:56] park for an approved activity.
[1:17:58] for example, mooring permit
[1:18:00] holders with boats at the
[1:18:02] waterfront parks would be
[1:18:03] permitted to be there.
[1:18:06] as well as any special events.
[1:18:07] recommended by-law amendment
[1:18:11] closing the parks at 10:00 p.m
[1:18:13] recommending parking be
[1:18:14] prohibited when the park is
[1:18:15] closed.
[1:18:15] again, if there's a vehicle
[1:18:18] there for a permitted use, it
[1:18:20] can remain in the park until
[1:18:21] that permitted use is concluded
[1:18:23] there are a number of other
[1:18:26] recommendations to clarify the
[1:18:29] parking in prohibited areas.
[1:18:31] parking other than on roadway o
[1:18:33] parking lot as previous photo
[1:18:35] shows.
[1:18:35] vehicles parking on the grass
[1:18:38] when they can't find parking.
[1:18:40] officers have to use a violati
[1:18:42] of parks - park on private
[1:18:47] property where prohibited.
[1:18:48] it's not clear to the ticket
[1:18:51] recipient why they got the
[1:18:52] ticket.
[1:18:52] what we're trying to do is
[1:18:54] clarify.
[1:18:54] when they get the ticket, they
[1:18:56] know why they got the ticket a
[1:18:58] why they were parking illegally
[1:19:02] other amendments to the by-law.
[1:19:04] recommending as housekeeping
[1:19:05] amends to prohibit unlicenced o
[1:19:09] commercial vehicles.
[1:19:10] these are similar regulations w
[1:19:12] have in other parking by-laws.
[1:19:15] makes it consistent.
[1:19:15] also to deal with things we hav
[1:19:17] in the past where people just
[1:19:18] leave their vehicles in the
[1:19:21] parks because they don't have
[1:19:22] enough parking in their propert
[1:19:24] or they have an inoperable
[1:19:26] vehicle and can't deal with it.
[1:19:32] we had looked at options for
[1:19:38] consideration.
[1:19:38] what other municipalities are
[1:19:40] doing such as ajax, barrie,
[1:19:42] burlington, st. Catharines and
[1:19:44] number of others.
[1:19:45] their waterfront parks are als
[1:19:48] popular.
[1:19:48] some f things we considered th
[1:19:50] would be effective ease of use
[1:19:52] ability to enforce.
[1:19:55] - a system equitable, provide
[1:19:58] for time limits and
[1:19:59] restrictions.
[1:19:59] create access through turnover
[1:20:03] and opportunity for cost
[1:20:04] recovery.
[1:20:04] number of municipalities
[1:20:12] implementing paid parking for
[1:20:13] out of town visitors.
[1:20:15] but are issuing permits to
[1:20:17] residents.
[1:20:17] while permits may be easy to u
[1:20:19] and easy to enforce, the permi
[1:20:22] program can hinder time limits
[1:20:24] and delay turnover of parking
[1:20:27] spaces.
[1:20:27] if you have to require persona
[1:20:29] information to verify residency
[1:20:32] there is a risk of information
[1:20:33] breach.
[1:20:33] no confirmation of residency,
[1:20:36] the program is open to misuse.
[1:20:39] providing residents parking can
[1:20:41] create an expectation that they
[1:20:42] have a permit so they should b
[1:20:44] able to have a guaranteed
[1:20:46] parking space.
[1:20:46] with the limited parking, that
[1:20:47] might not be the case.
[1:20:49] as well, it can be costly to
[1:20:51] operate.
[1:20:51] one of the municipalities we
[1:20:54] looked at, they mailed permits
[1:20:56] to every resident.
[1:20:58] we asked our friends in the tax
[1:21:01] department how many residential
[1:21:02] properties we have in oakville.
[1:21:03] it's over 74,000.
[1:21:05] based on the costs of the permi
[1:21:08] in mailing it, that would cost
[1:21:10] over $350,000 to implement such
[1:21:12] a program.
[1:21:13] there would have to be other
[1:21:14] ways to do it.
[1:21:15] communities we looked at that
[1:21:17] implemented residential permit
[1:21:19] parking programs at waterfront
[1:21:22] tended to have parking areas a
[1:21:24] options for visitors.
[1:21:25] bronte he beach and tannery pry
[1:21:29] parking for mooring permit
[1:21:31] holders, it can be limited on
[1:21:34] any day.
[1:21:38] time restrictions.
[1:21:39] - as a tool for manning the
[1:21:41] parking lots.
[1:21:42] -- for manning the parking lot
[1:21:47] - for managing the parking
[1:21:57] lots.
[1:21:57] time limits requires increased
[1:22:03] enforcement resources by havin
[1:22:05] to have multiple patrols.
[1:22:06] as a result, vehicles can be
[1:22:07] parked longer than the time
[1:22:10] limit before they're ticketed o
[1:22:12] enforced.
[1:22:12] we looked at reservation syste
[1:22:18] similar to what conservation
[1:22:19] halton provides.
[1:22:23] this can provide for time
[1:22:24] limits, promote turnover.
[1:22:27] and options for cost recovery.
[1:22:29] every visitor would have the
[1:22:30] same access.
[1:22:33] there's a significant cost to
[1:22:34] it.
[1:22:34] we would require an on-line
[1:22:37] reservation system.
[1:22:38] electronic gates or staff in
[1:22:40] attendance to verify
[1:22:42] registration, entry lanes to
[1:22:45] provide queuing areas.
[1:22:49] ensure reserve space is
[1:22:49] available when someone shows u
[1:22:51] for their reservation.
[1:22:53] from the review of the
[1:22:54] reservation system, it would b
[1:22:56] difficult and costly to
[1:22:58] implement.
[1:22:58] there's not a static number of
[1:23:02] area for permit holders.
[1:23:06] the areas have multiple
[1:23:09] accesses.
[1:23:09] have multiple entry points.
[1:23:12] the cost to implement would
[1:23:14] exceed over $130,000, not
[1:23:16] counting parking lot
[1:23:18] configuration, maintenance and
[1:23:20] traffic management plans.
[1:23:21] conservation halton program is
[1:23:24] very effective.
[1:23:25] however, they're implementing
[1:23:27] this at ten locations.
[1:23:28] not sure if this would work for
[1:23:29] our location at tannery and
[1:23:31] bronte.
[1:23:31] another option is paid parking
[1:23:40] it encourages compliance with
[1:23:41] time restrictions, promotes
[1:23:44] turnover.
[1:23:44] creating more opportunity for
[1:23:46] parking.
[1:23:46] common way to control and manag
[1:23:49] parking.
[1:23:49] equitable for all visitors on
[1:23:52] first come first serve basis.
[1:23:54] easy to use and understand.
[1:23:56] enforceable.
[1:23:56] it promotes the user pay syste
[1:24:02] we received a lot of feedback
[1:24:06] following the may 25th report
[1:24:08] to council where we were
[1:24:09] suggesting paid parking.
[1:24:11] every day throughout the year.
[1:24:13] there are options to implement
[1:24:16] refined program that limits pai
[1:24:18] parking only during the peak
[1:24:19] times.
[1:24:19] perhaps $3 an hour up to four
[1:24:25] hours.
[1:24:25] 9:00 a.m. To 7:00 p.m.
[1:24:29] using the honk app to leverage
[1:24:31] for payment.
[1:24:33] this could be a pilot program
[1:24:36] over a two year period to
[1:24:37] provide time to gather data and
[1:24:39] usage.
[1:24:39] limiting it to the two locatio
[1:24:42] would also give time to
[1:24:44] implement and manage the
[1:24:45] program.
[1:24:45] if it were a pilot program,
[1:24:47] staff would report back after
[1:24:49] the pilot period.
[1:24:51] and determine next steps.
[1:24:53] another issue with controlling
[1:24:58] the parking around the
[1:25:00] waterfront parks is overflow
[1:25:02] parking into the residential
[1:25:04] areas.
[1:25:04] when the lots get full, people
[1:25:07] are looking for other parking o
[1:25:09] the streets.
[1:25:11] in response to these issues in
[1:25:13] 2020, special provisionaries
[1:25:16] were implemented with
[1:25:17] restrictions.
[1:25:17] following council's approval I
[1:25:22] april 26 this year, spas from
[1:25:26] may 15th to septemb
[1:25:28] september 15th in bronte
[1:25:28] beach, tannery park, coronatio
[1:25:32] and lions valley.
[1:25:34] part of the parking control.
[1:25:38] question of removing an spa
[1:25:40] could increase traffic from
[1:25:43] vehicles circulating and looki
[1:25:44] for additional parking if the
[1:25:46] lots were full.
[1:25:47] most streets within the current
[1:25:49] spas have permanent signed
[1:25:53] areas as no parking.
[1:25:55] with increased traffic volume,
[1:25:57] experience sugges increased
[1:25:59] parking violations that could
[1:26:00] impact safety sight lines and
[1:26:04] access.
[1:26:04] it's not uncommon to limit
[1:26:07] parking in areas near waterfron
[1:26:10] parks.
[1:26:10] reviewing other municipalities,
[1:26:13] and found ajax, barrie,
[1:26:15] collingwood, hamilton, innisfi
[1:26:19] and st. Catharines have done s
[1:26:24] there have been inquiries.
[1:26:27] using the approved process tha
[1:26:31] was outlined in the april 26th
[1:26:34] report to council,
[1:26:35] any additional spa areas would
[1:26:39] be implemented after
[1:26:40] consultation with the ward
[1:26:41] councillors and residents withi
[1:26:43] the impacted area.
[1:26:47] we looked at options for
[1:26:49] controlling and managing
[1:26:52] parking, permit, reservations
[1:26:54] and paid parking, what we're
[1:26:55] recommending in this report are
[1:26:58] a number of improvements
[1:27:00] specific to broader with by-la
[1:27:02] amendments but some are specifi
[1:27:04] to bronte beach and tannery
[1:27:06] park.
[1:27:06] by-law amendments to clarify t
[1:27:09] restrictions and regulations.
[1:27:12] signage to show clear condition
[1:27:13] and time lines for the parking
[1:27:16] restrictions.
[1:27:16] update the permit holder
[1:27:21] information.
[1:27:21] coordinate with sovereign house
[1:27:26] members to assist with parking
[1:27:28] for their events.
[1:27:29] delineating parking spaces in
[1:27:31] areas subject to budget and
[1:27:32] funding to reduce parking that
[1:27:37] creeps on to the grass or
[1:27:38] outside the parking area.
[1:27:40] adding bikes racks and promoti
[1:27:43] cycling could help reduce
[1:27:45] vehicles coming to the parks.
[1:27:50] communicate the parking program
[1:28:01] and any changes.
[1:28:05] we have optional recommendatio
[1:28:09] should council wish to increas
[1:28:11] management and control of
[1:28:12] parking at the bronte beach and
[1:28:14] tannery park areas.
[1:28:15] these are included on appendix
[1:28:19] of the staff report.
[1:28:31] update information on website,
[1:28:49] news releases, social media,
[1:28:51] promoting biking, walking and
[1:28:53] transit to the parks.
[1:28:54] working with the parks
[1:28:56] ambassadors.
[1:28:56] they can inform and educate
[1:29:04] visitors.
[1:29:04] I understand there may have bee
[1:29:07] some confusion as to what we're
[1:29:10] recommending.
[1:29:10] I wanted to summarize with thi
[1:29:13] previous slide.
[1:29:14] this is what we're asking for I
[1:29:16] the recommendations to the
[1:29:17] report.
[1:29:17] by-law amendments to clarify
[1:29:21] parking restrictions and
[1:29:22] regulations, including a
[1:29:23] 10:00 p.m. Closing.
[1:29:24] no parking when the park is
[1:29:26] closed.
[1:29:26] prohibited updates to prohibite
[1:29:29] parking areas and unauthorized
[1:29:30] vehicles.
[1:29:30] improving signage to show clear
[1:29:34] parking conditions at the parks
[1:29:36] updating permit holders
[1:29:38] information.
[1:29:38] working with sovereign house
[1:29:40] members to assist with their
[1:29:41] parking for their event.
[1:29:43] delineating parking spaces and
[1:29:44] parking areas so that people
[1:29:46] aren't parking outside of those
[1:29:47] areas.
[1:29:47] adding bike racks, promoting
[1:29:50] cycling to reduce number of
[1:29:51] vehicles.
[1:29:51] creating a temporary public
[1:29:54] parking lot at bronte marina a
[1:29:57] communicating the programs and
[1:29:58] changes.
[1:29:58] I can leave this just to show
[1:30:04] what we're recommending.
[1:30:06] that concludes my presentation.
[1:30:08] I would be happy to try and
[1:30:09] answer questions.
[1:30:10] >> mayor burton: you have a few
[1:30:11] thank you very much for the
[1:30:12] report.
[1:30:12] I really appreciate the clarity
[1:30:15] you brought to what you're
[1:30:17] proposing.
[1:30:17] I can't help myself commenting
[1:30:22] it seems measured response to
[1:30:25] the various and fairly large
[1:30:29] response that we have had from
[1:30:30] the public over these last
[1:30:32] couple of cycles.
[1:30:35] I have a questioners list.
[1:30:41] ok.
[1:30:41] councillor chisholm, o'meara,
[1:30:46] duddeck, adams and councillor
[1:30:48] gittings.
[1:30:48] councillor chisholm.
[1:31:00] >> councillor: I think
[1:31:01] councillor duddeck was first o
[1:31:02] the list.
[1:31:06] >> mayor burton: fine.
[1:31:07] councillor duddeck.
[1:31:09] >> councillor: thank you.
[1:31:11] thank you, councillor chisholm
[1:31:12] for that.
[1:31:15] thank you very much for the
[1:31:17] clarification for the report.
[1:31:19] I can appreciate it was very
[1:31:23] complex, shall we say trying t
[1:31:24] get all the various moving
[1:31:26] pieces.
[1:31:26] what I would say a succinct
[1:31:31] motion.
[1:31:31] thank you for providing that
[1:31:36] printout towards the latter
[1:31:38] part.
[1:31:38] I was going to ask you to go
[1:31:40] back to it.
[1:31:41] basically if council decides t
[1:31:43] support those two that were
[1:31:45] listed as the staff
[1:31:47] recommendations, that would not
[1:31:51] include paid parking unless
[1:31:54] council specified.
[1:31:55] it would also retain the speci
[1:31:58] parking provision areas that
[1:32:00] quite frankly both councillor
[1:32:01] chisholm and I have found
[1:32:03] extremely positive for people
[1:32:06] the area.
[1:32:09] and it's that overflow parking
[1:32:14] that seems to be the issue.
[1:32:15] councillor chisholm has
[1:32:17] indicated he goes by on a
[1:32:20] repeated basis to check tannery
[1:32:23] parks.
[1:32:23] there's quite a few parking
[1:32:26] spots available.
[1:32:26] the parking there doesn't seem
[1:32:27] to be the issue.
[1:32:28] again, the overflow seems to b
[1:32:30] more of it.
[1:32:35] dusk.
[1:32:35] you were saying dusk being 10:
[1:32:41] 00 p.m.
[1:32:41] the fact that you're not going
[1:32:45] to be permitting parking after
[1:32:47] that point.
[1:32:48] are you going to be enforcing
[1:32:50] that or is that something that'
[1:32:53] on a random basis that somethi
[1:32:56] just does a cursory drive-thru?
[1:32:59] I'm trying to understand from a
[1:33:01] enforcement standpoint?
[1:33:05] >> I'm going to let director
[1:33:09] barry answer the enforcement.
[1:33:10] >> mayor burton: councillor, I
[1:33:13] sure the commissioner will add
[1:33:16] that whatever is planned for
[1:33:19] patrolling is, we will respond
[1:33:21] to complaints as we always do.
[1:33:23] >> through you, mr. Mayor, I w
[1:33:28] almost exactly going to say
[1:33:29] that.
[1:33:29] by complaint.
[1:33:30] officers respond.
[1:33:31] there's no doubt if an officer
[1:33:32] is in the area, they would
[1:33:33] observe what's there.
[1:33:36] but we appreciate all the
[1:33:37] information we can get from the
[1:33:38] community.
[1:33:38] >> councillor: thank you very
[1:33:42] much.
[1:33:42] at the appropriate time, I wou
[1:33:44] be pleased to give you a motio
[1:33:47] as I say, both councillor
[1:33:49] chisholm and myself have been
[1:33:52] emphatic were opposed to paid
[1:33:54] parking.
[1:33:54] and so at the appropriate time,
[1:33:56] we would be pleased to give you
[1:33:57] a motion.
[1:33:57] >> mayor burton: thank you,
[1:33:59] councillor.
[1:33:59] I accept your motion.
[1:34:01] it's always an order to move a
[1:34:04] motion.
[1:34:04] we continue with questions.
[1:34:06] at least we know who is going t
[1:34:07] move it.
[1:34:11] councillor chisholm, are you
[1:34:12] ready to take a turn?
[1:34:14] >> councillor: thank you, your
[1:34:16] worship.
[1:34:16] councillor duddeck articulated
[1:34:20] what our feelings are with
[1:34:21] respect to the paid parking.
[1:34:23] just one comment.
[1:34:26] I know and excellent report.
[1:34:29] thank you for the detail and
[1:34:32] clearing up the confusion with
[1:34:34] paid parking was melded into
[1:34:35] this.
[1:34:35] with respect to tannery park a
[1:34:40] bronte beach, there are
[1:34:42] differences.
[1:34:42] and there might be slight
[1:34:46] differences with respect to how
[1:34:48] the recommendations come out I
[1:34:49] the recommendations on both
[1:34:51] parks are satisfactory to
[1:34:52] council.
[1:34:52] so be it.
[1:34:54] however, I go down to tannery
[1:34:57] park every day three times a
[1:34:59] day.
[1:34:59] and the issue is not about
[1:35:01] parking.
[1:35:01] the issue in the park itself is
[1:35:05] always adequate parking stalls.
[1:35:08] the lower level, top level and
[1:35:10] also water works parking.
[1:35:13] that doesn't seem to be the
[1:35:14] issue.
[1:35:14] issue has been the traffic
[1:35:16] coming down and the parking on
[1:35:18] the streets.
[1:35:20] having the special provision
[1:35:22] area has really assisted us in
[1:35:26] alleviating the pressures of t
[1:35:28] residents with illegal parking
[1:35:29] and so forth.
[1:35:30] that's all I have to say.
[1:35:32] my thanks to the staff for
[1:35:35] following up on our requests
[1:35:36] with the parking. Than
[1:35:36] thank you.
[1:35:38] >> mayor burton: thank you.
[1:35:38] councillor chisholm.
[1:35:40] councillor o'meara, are you
[1:35:42] ready to take a turn?
[1:35:44] >> councillor: thank you, your
[1:35:44] worship.
[1:35:44] thanks again to staff.
[1:35:47] I'm curious if we know how man
[1:35:51] people out of those numbers wer
[1:35:54] oakville residents or how many
[1:35:56] people from outside of oakvill
[1:35:59] halton were using the parks?
[1:36:00] I'm wondering if we m know thos
[1:36:04] numbers?
[1:36:04] >> through you, mr. Mayor, I
[1:36:06] believe there is information
[1:36:07] about the distance people are
[1:36:08] travelling to the parks.
[1:36:09] this is information that park
[1:36:14] staff shared with us.
[1:36:16] there may be more details on
[1:36:17] that.
[1:36:17] we were looking at overall
[1:36:19] numbers.
[1:36:19] >> councillor: ok.
[1:36:23] can you share, can somebody
[1:36:25] share that information them?
[1:36:26] >> we'll request chris mark if
[1:36:30] they have that information to
[1:36:31] share that with council,
[1:36:32] definitely.
[1:36:32] >> councillor: thank you.
[1:36:36] >> mayor burton: mr. Mark, are
[1:36:38] you there and do you have that
[1:36:39] ready to hand?
[1:36:43] hello, mr. Mark.
[1:36:45] >> good evening, mayor burton.
[1:36:47] we do have that information.
[1:36:49] we can share that with
[1:36:50] councillor o'meara and council
[1:36:52] I would say that there is a hig
[1:36:55] number of people who in 2020
[1:36:57] traveled more than 12 kilometre
[1:37:00] to come to bronte beach as well
[1:37:04] as coronation park.
[1:37:05] in particular, bronte beach.
[1:37:08] so that's just a highlight I c
[1:37:11] remember from the report.
[1:37:12] we can circulate.
[1:37:15] >> mayor burton: mr. Mark, to
[1:37:16] assist you, is it not true in
[1:37:19] both our harbours, I'm reminde
[1:37:22] that some of our slips are
[1:37:24] rented to out of towners.
[1:37:26] there's a mix of in town and o
[1:37:31] of town?
[1:37:32] >> we have in town and out of
[1:37:34] town customers.
[1:37:35] >> mayor burton: councillor
[1:37:36] o'meara.
[1:37:36] >> councillor: ok.
[1:37:38] thanks.
[1:37:38] does this plan also include
[1:37:42] those security people at the
[1:37:46] mouth of bronte beach going int
[1:37:48] there like we had last year?
[1:37:50] would that include security
[1:37:51] people monitoring traffic going
[1:37:53] in and out?
[1:37:57] >> mayor bur
[1:38:03] >> the level of service through
[1:38:11] various officers, ambassadors,
[1:38:13] parks officers, they have a
[1:38:17] number of staff that are there
[1:38:21] at static times to mitigate
[1:38:24] traffic flow and are directing
[1:38:26] visitors to the appropriate
[1:38:27] areas.
[1:38:27] they do have signs to say when
[1:38:30] the lot is full.
[1:38:33] >> councillor: ok.
[1:38:35] there's going to be intermitten
[1:38:38] times where people are there.
[1:38:39] there won't be people from
[1:38:41] friday night till sunday eveni
[1:38:43] will be staffing that lot sayin
[1:38:45] it's full.
[1:38:45] don't use people's driveways t
[1:38:47] turn around.
[1:38:48] keep going.
[1:38:50] I still don't see how this is
[1:38:51] going to stop 5,000 people fro
[1:38:54] driving down to use bronte
[1:38:55] beach.
[1:38:55] I don't see how this plan does
[1:38:57] that.
[1:38:57] and then they show up and
[1:39:00] there's no place to park.
[1:39:02] we have the chaos that we had.
[1:39:04] we have people deciding trying
[1:39:05] to go somewhere.
[1:39:07] I'm unsure how we have solved
[1:39:11] that problem or addressed that
[1:39:12] problem.
[1:39:12] >> through you, mr. Mayor, to
[1:39:19] the councillor.
[1:39:19] I suggest we haven't stopped
[1:39:20] people from coming down.
[1:39:22] what we have staff there.
[1:39:23] we have static park officers in
[1:39:25] the area.
[1:39:27] as ms. Allison indicated, the
[1:39:30] officers will be using a board
[1:39:33] to indicate when the lot is
[1:39:35] full.
[1:39:35] as the next tier, the special
[1:39:39] provision area which stops the
[1:39:41] traffic from going and parking
[1:39:42] in the direct vicinity of the
[1:39:44] park.
[1:39:44] and making a mess of those
[1:39:46] roads.
[1:39:46] but our vehicles are going to
[1:39:49] come down and attempt to use t
[1:39:52] park and find a lot full?
[1:39:53] yeah, they will still find tha
[1:39:55] this is really about trying to
[1:39:57] mitigate the impact when that
[1:39:58] happens.
[1:39:58] - but are vehicles.
[1:40:04] >> councillor: ok.
[1:40:05] I see that.
[1:40:06] I appreciate the difficulty
[1:40:08] here.
[1:40:08] and I will support the motion.
[1:40:12] but I would have liked to have
[1:40:14] seen some kind of a conservatio
[1:40:18] halton area.
[1:40:19] I know the costs were
[1:40:20] prohibitive.
[1:40:20] but even if there is a way.
[1:40:24] we don't have to mail out
[1:40:25] permits to people.
[1:40:26] they can also go on-line and
[1:40:28] pull a permit if they live her
[1:40:30] and put that on their dash.
[1:40:31] I hope this goes away after thi
[1:40:33] year.
[1:40:33] I hope the chaos settles down
[1:40:36] when covid does.
[1:40:38] but I'm just, I'm worried that
[1:40:39] we're going to have the same
[1:40:41] issues as we had last summer.
[1:40:43] I wanted to say that on the
[1:40:44] record here for all of the
[1:40:47] people in the bronte area who
[1:40:49] are living here and waiting to
[1:40:51] see how we're going to control
[1:40:52] this.
[1:40:52] thank you very much, your
[1:40:53] worship.
[1:40:53] >> mayor burton: thank you,
[1:40:55] councillor o'meara.
[1:40:57] councillor gittings.
[1:41:01] >> councillor: thank you,
[1:41:06] mr. Mayor.
[1:41:07] through you, I appreciate that
[1:41:09] this is a pilot project.
[1:41:11] it's going to be monitored for
[1:41:14] couple of years.
[1:41:17] my question is how will the
[1:41:19] locations be monitored so that
[1:41:21] we know if the desired effect I
[1:41:26] occurring.
[1:41:26] with tannery, I look at it's
[1:41:30] easy to go up and go across the
[1:41:32] creek and down to lakeside.
[1:41:35] lakeside is not going to have
[1:41:41] any of these works in place.
[1:41:44] my first question is how quick
[1:41:46] can we get feedback back to
[1:41:50] council in terms of any
[1:41:52] unintended consequences that m
[1:41:54] occur?
[1:41:54] >> mayor burton: ok.
[1:41:57] councillor, I'll take a first
[1:41:58] stab at that.
[1:42:01] we have built a beautiful syste
[1:42:03] for counting and keeping track
[1:42:06] of the dimensions of issues.
[1:42:09] that tool is service oakville.
[1:42:11] and tracking numbers are issue
[1:42:13] for each call.
[1:42:15] and so if councillors when the
[1:42:18] receive a complaint will make
[1:42:20] sure that service oakville als
[1:42:23] knows so it can be tracked.
[1:42:25] you'll be doing yourself and
[1:42:26] your colleagues a favour.
[1:42:28] I know in your case you do tha
[1:42:32] but that is a really important
[1:42:34] tool we should not lose sight
[1:42:35] of.
[1:42:35] that's in addition to dispatch
[1:42:38] machine, it's a counting
[1:42:41] machine.
[1:42:41] those are good things here.
[1:42:46] ms. Allison, do you have furth
[1:42:51] information for the councillor?
[1:42:52] >> mayor burton: no, that
[1:42:54] provides the best statistics
[1:42:56] through service oakville.
[1:42:58] we will be looking and
[1:42:59] monitoring how many tickets are
[1:43:01] issued in each of the areas
[1:43:04] should council approve the new
[1:43:07] violations and the amending
[1:43:09] by-law.
[1:43:09] we will have that information,
[1:43:11] as well.
[1:43:13] >> mayor burton: mr. Barry wil
[1:43:14] help with this.
[1:43:17] I manly mr. Barry will reassur
[1:43:20] council we're not ignoring the
[1:43:24] other parks.
[1:43:25] >> that's correct.
[1:43:25] with the special provision
[1:43:26] areas, there is a process in
[1:43:28] there.
[1:43:28] if an area lakeside, gairloch,
[1:43:32] other areas near coronation, I
[1:43:35] they find there's an issue,
[1:43:37] there's a process to extend or
[1:43:40] install special provision areas
[1:43:41] in those areas to also deal wit
[1:43:42] that problem.
[1:43:44] I think that's important becau
[1:43:45] we have that flexibility.
[1:43:48] but as ms. Allison indicated,
[1:43:50] will be monitoring the impacts
[1:43:52] of this going forward.
[1:43:53] if we see any type of impact
[1:43:56] that is unexpected, we have th
[1:43:58] ability to come to council and
[1:44:00] we do have other options we can
[1:44:02] look at depending on the issue
[1:44:05] that arise.
[1:44:07] >> mayor burton: thank you,
[1:44:08] mr. Barry.
[1:44:09] councillor gittings, did you g
[1:44:10] a good answer in any of that?
[1:44:15] >> councillor: received a good
[1:44:17] answer.
[1:44:17] thank you for that.
[1:44:19] I appreciate mr. Barry
[1:44:21] mentioning chancery and
[1:44:24] promenade and others.
[1:44:26] it's an ongoing concern.
[1:44:32] we all have to do our part to b
[1:44:35] welcoming and to encourage goo
[1:44:38] behaviours.
[1:44:38] unfortunately, all too often
[1:44:44] those behaviours are poor.
[1:44:47] my concern is we're going to
[1:44:49] funnel more people into a
[1:44:51] smaller space.
[1:44:51] thank you.
[1:44:53] >> mayor burton: thank you,
[1:44:53] councillor gittings.
[1:44:55] councillor adams and then
[1:44:57] councillor robertson.
[1:44:57] if councillor o'meara's hand I
[1:44:59] up for a second time, we'll com
[1:45:01] back to councillor o'meara.
[1:45:05] councillor adams.
[1:45:06] >> councillor: thanks very muc
[1:45:07] I'll lower my hand so I'm not
[1:45:10] caught in the same category.
[1:45:13] I agree with the paid parking
[1:45:16] and what councillor duddeck was
[1:45:17] saying earlier.
[1:45:19] I fully support the removal of
[1:45:21] that particular option.
[1:45:22] I want a clarification on the
[1:45:26] number of hours parking limit.
[1:45:28] as I read it, I understand sta
[1:45:30] report, that is not part of
[1:45:31] what's being proposed.
[1:45:33] there's no proposal to have a
[1:45:36] three hour parking limit withi
[1:45:37] the parks, is that correct?
[1:45:40] >> that is correct.
[1:45:40] at this time no proposal for a
[1:45:42] time limit.
[1:45:43] just the parks close at 10:00.
[1:45:45] >> councillor: great.
[1:45:47] that's fan a - that's fantast
[1:45:54] ic.
[1:45:54] nervous about the use of the s
[1:45:56] parking provisions around so
[1:45:59] many of the neighbourhoods in
[1:46:01] those areas.
[1:46:02] it's one of the things that I
[1:46:04] know councillor lishchyna and I
[1:46:05] hear about regularly from our
[1:46:09] residents.
[1:46:09] unfair application of parking
[1:46:14] prohibitions that we have
[1:46:16] invested all this money.
[1:46:17] the waterfront and now we can't
[1:46:19] get down there.
[1:46:22] I understand from what you sai
[1:46:25] is it nearly a doubling preup
[1:46:37] and down were we seeing these
[1:46:39] parking problems on the side
[1:46:40] streets to the same degree we
[1:46:41] were seeing them in 2020?
[1:46:45] >> mayor burton: southern
[1:46:47] councillors tell you yes.
[1:46:48] in any event, I should give you
[1:46:50] a procedural note.
[1:46:51] the spa is our council policy I
[1:46:57] this term of council.
[1:46:58] it will take ten votes to chang
[1:47:02] that.
[1:47:02] >> councillor: I understand
[1:47:04] that.
[1:47:04] whether it continues to be, if
[1:47:07] it was an issue to the same
[1:47:10] degree as it was in 2020?
[1:47:14] >> mayor burton: my information
[1:47:15] from your colleagues across
[1:47:17] lakeshore is yes.
[1:47:18] I have seen people so desperate
[1:47:22] to go to the park they think
[1:47:23] nothing of blocking the drivewa
[1:47:24] of a resident.
[1:47:27] I hope you'll agree is a bit
[1:47:28] much.
[1:47:28] >> councillor: I appreciate tha
[1:47:30] that's an egregious misuse of
[1:47:34] somebody's driveway.
[1:47:36] I guess do staff have parking
[1:47:37] ticket numbers or anything lik
[1:47:39] that that we could use as a bar
[1:47:43] or a yard stick for measuring
[1:47:45] that?
[1:47:45] >> through you, mr. Mayor, we
[1:47:49] have numbers from 2019 around
[1:47:52] bronte beach.
[1:47:54] we used that as a comparison.
[1:47:56] may to september in 2019, we h
[1:48:01] 137 tickets at the bronte beach
[1:48:03] park.
[1:48:03] the same time in 2020, over 500
[1:48:07] tickets.
[1:48:07] >> councillor: ok.
[1:48:09] that's our yard stick.
[1:48:10] and that's a pretty good yard
[1:48:12] stick.
[1:48:12] thanks very much.
[1:48:14] >> mayor burton: thank you,
[1:48:15] councillor adams.
[1:48:17] I believe councillor robertson
[1:48:19] is next and then councillor
[1:48:24] haslett-theall because
[1:48:25] councillor o'meara took down h
[1:48:27] sign.
[1:48:27] councillor robertson.
[1:48:31] >> councillor: thank you for t
[1:48:32] report, tanya.
[1:48:35] I understand people's hesitancy
[1:48:37] in terms of paid parking.
[1:48:39] I also understand the pressure
[1:48:41] that we have to create more
[1:48:43] parking.
[1:48:43] so people can safely park down
[1:48:47] at the beaches and other place
[1:48:49] in town.
[1:48:52] reminding ourselves that only
[1:48:53] parking pays for parking here.
[1:48:56] how do we propose to gain more
[1:48:59] parking without paid parking?
[1:49:04] >> through you, mr. Mayor, at
[1:49:08] this time, with bronte marina,
[1:49:11] in 2018, due to overflow parki
[1:49:14] issues and number of issues in
[1:49:15] the area, we implemented a
[1:49:17] temporary parking lot using
[1:49:19] existing resources.
[1:49:20] there was some cost with respe
[1:49:22] to signage.
[1:49:24] we're looking to do that again
[1:49:26] this year should council appro
[1:49:28] the recommendations.
[1:49:30] there is minimal cost with tha
[1:49:33] I think the biggest would be
[1:49:35] signage.
[1:49:35] a lot of it will be
[1:49:38] communication to say that is
[1:49:39] available parking.
[1:49:40] it is about an eight minute wal
[1:49:42] as google maps shows.
[1:49:44] so that if someone wants to go
[1:49:46] to the park, they may want to
[1:49:48] drop off some of their,
[1:49:49] depending on how many people
[1:49:52] have, according to covid
[1:49:54] restrictions.
[1:49:54] it is only an eight minute wal
[1:49:58] from the marina to bronte beach
[1:49:59] park.
[1:49:59] >> councillor: how many more
[1:50:03] spots does that give us?
[1:50:07] >> I do not recall.
[1:50:08] I don't think I have it with m
[1:50:10] notes here.
[1:50:11] I can get back to you.
[1:50:13] >> councillor: sorry.
[1:50:14] I want to go back to councillo
[1:50:17] adams in terms of public.
[1:50:18] when we did spas, why did we
[1:50:21] do them on both sides of the
[1:50:23] street and not one side only?
[1:50:28] >> through you, mr. Mayor, man
[1:50:30] streets in the special provisi
[1:50:31] areas are already signed.
[1:50:33] one side parking.
[1:50:35] it wouldn't really restrict the
[1:50:36] parking.
[1:50:36] there are areas where parking I
[1:50:40] permitted on both sides.
[1:50:41] to keep it uniform, and easy t
[1:50:44] implement and to understand the
[1:50:46] parking was restricted
[1:50:47] everywhere.
[1:50:47] residents were provided permits
[1:50:50] for themselves and guests should
[1:50:51] they need them to temporarily
[1:50:53] park on the street.
[1:50:55] >> councillor: thank you.
[1:50:56] I'm not opposed to it at all.
[1:50:59] I wanted the public to
[1:51:00] understand why we did both sid
[1:51:01] for it.
[1:51:03] and I will support the motion.
[1:51:04] I just, there is times when I
[1:51:07] look at coronation and I look a
[1:51:09] bronte beach, and I look at the
[1:51:11] chaos of parking.
[1:51:13] and always wonder when some
[1:51:15] little kid is going to get hur
[1:51:16] because nobody is looking for a
[1:51:18] little kid.
[1:51:19] they're just looking for
[1:51:20] parking.
[1:51:20] and hoping that maybe post
[1:51:24] covid, that issue will resolve
[1:51:26] itself.
[1:51:26] for now, thank you for
[1:51:27] everything you have done and f
[1:51:29] the enforcement for everything.
[1:51:32] >> mayor burton: thank you very
[1:51:33] much, councillor robertson.
[1:51:34] councillor haslett-theall.
[1:51:36] >> councillor: thank you, mayor
[1:51:38] burton.
[1:51:38] I have a few follow-up
[1:51:39] questions.
[1:51:39] could you just confirm, is the
[1:51:43] a static officer at lakeside on
[1:51:48] the weekends?
[1:51:53] >> through you, mr. Mayor, to
[1:51:57] the councillor, lakeside doesn
[1:51:59] have a static officer.
[1:52:04] >> councillor: on behalf of a
[1:52:05] neighbourhood that does see
[1:52:07] overflow coming from other
[1:52:09] areas, and it is a prize
[1:52:14] destination.
[1:52:14] I hesitate saying that because
[1:52:17] it keeps getting better and
[1:52:19] better in terms of the volume.
[1:52:21] I would suggest that there be
[1:52:25] consideration that somebody
[1:52:26] needs to be there more than jus
[1:52:30] a few trips of the day.
[1:52:32] the parking on front is
[1:52:35] hazardous on a normal day.
[1:52:38] just because of the quaintness
[1:52:39] of the historical district.
[1:52:42] and having regular, somebody
[1:52:47] there throughout the day would
[1:52:49] be beneficial.
[1:52:49] I leave that with you to
[1:52:52] comment.
[1:52:52] I wanted to thank municipal
[1:52:57] enforcement for moving forward
[1:52:59] with at least one of our
[1:53:00] requests, which was performing
[1:53:04] arts centre have signage that
[1:53:07] encourages people to park in t
[1:53:09] parking garage downtown.
[1:53:12] there is an additional request
[1:53:15] from lakeside residents
[1:53:22] association if regards to
[1:53:24] options of having the parking
[1:53:26] garage open in the evening and
[1:53:28] potentially free in the evening
[1:53:31] to attract people off the
[1:53:34] streets versus an spa in the
[1:53:38] lakeside area.
[1:53:42] my other question is around the
[1:53:48] - how spas are actually
[1:53:50] executed.
[1:53:50] thank you for the note from
[1:53:54] councillor robertson around it'
[1:53:57] two sides of the street.
[1:54:00] but majority of the residents o
[1:54:01] the street that determine
[1:54:03] whether spa would be put in
[1:54:05] place?
[1:54:05] >> through you, mr. Mayor.
[1:54:08] as was outlined in the staff
[1:54:10] report april 26th, they're
[1:54:14] implemented after consultation
[1:54:17] with the ward councillors and
[1:54:19] residents.
[1:54:19] what has happened is the reque
[1:54:22] comes to staff's attention.
[1:54:25] the area is reviewed with
[1:54:27] traffic engineering staff.
[1:54:28] a survey is sent out to the
[1:54:30] affected properties.
[1:54:32] the residents and the affected
[1:54:35] properties.
[1:54:35] if there's significant support
[1:54:37] we move forward with it.
[1:54:39] >> councillor: my understanding
[1:54:40] from director barry earlier was
[1:54:43] some of the spa requests that
[1:54:46] councillor gittings and I had
[1:54:48] were temporarily on hold until
[1:54:49] this was resolved.
[1:54:52] is it more of a majority on a
[1:54:56] street?
[1:54:56] we're worried about the
[1:54:59] circumference.
[1:54:59] we limit on one street.
[1:55:01] we're just moving it up a block
[1:55:03] we're moving it up one more
[1:55:05] block and over one block.
[1:55:08] frankly, it can go fairly far.
[1:55:14] is there advice or a process?
[1:55:18] is there a brochure that
[1:55:20] explains the ramifications of
[1:55:22] that when you're having the
[1:55:23] consultation?
[1:55:23] >> through you, mr. Mayor, the
[1:55:27] information that is sent out
[1:55:28] with the survey explains what I
[1:55:30] means and outlines the locatio
[1:55:36] staff look at what would be
[1:55:40] reasonable distances and cutof
[1:55:42] so they're not cutting off say
[1:55:44] at the middle of a block or I
[1:55:48] think mostly middle of a block
[1:55:50] they're looking at logical
[1:55:52] cutoffs for the area within
[1:55:54] those distances.
[1:55:56] >> councillor: ok.
[1:55:58] all right.%
[1:55:58] thank you for that.
[1:56:00] I just want to thank director
[1:56:02] mark for helping us with some
[1:56:04] the gairloch overflow over the
[1:56:07] last couple of weekends.
[1:56:09] and hopefully we'll get that
[1:56:11] sign up that allows us to say
[1:56:13] the lot is full.
[1:56:16] that will help stop traffic fro
[1:56:18] backing up over the hill and o
[1:56:20] to lakeshore road which is
[1:56:24] dangerous.
[1:56:24] people still do it.
[1:56:26] thanks very much.
[1:56:28] >> mayor burton: thank you,
[1:56:29] councillor.
[1:56:29] council, I don't see any more
[1:56:34] questions.
[1:56:34] and I'm wondering if you would
[1:56:36] like me to put the vote on
[1:56:37] councillor duddeck's motion?
[1:56:40] I don't see an objection.
[1:56:42] if you are opposed to - is
[1:56:44] there any opposition to the
[1:56:46] motion?
[1:56:46] madam clerk, there is no
[1:56:49] objection.
[1:56:49] that I can see.
[1:56:53] just looking again to be sure.
[1:56:54] I have a hand from councillor
[1:56:56] duddeck.
[1:56:56] you're not objecting to your o
[1:56:59] motion.
[1:56:59] >> councillor: I'm not.
[1:57:01] I just wanted to speak to it,
[1:57:03] your worship.
[1:57:03] I wanted to thank staff for all
[1:57:05] their hard work.
[1:57:07] and compiling all the
[1:57:08] information.
[1:57:08] and having to go back yet again
[1:57:11] to come back to us with this
[1:57:13] further information giving us
[1:57:15] the opportunity to review
[1:57:17] options.
[1:57:17] both councillor chisholm and I
[1:57:22] have been extremely adamant
[1:57:24] about not charging for paid
[1:57:27] parking in our parks as we
[1:57:29] stated before.
[1:57:31] the parks are built and funded
[1:57:33] by our taxpayer dollars.
[1:57:35] it seems wrong to turn around
[1:57:37] and charge the very people who
[1:57:39] build those parks to have to p
[1:57:42] for parking to enjoy them.
[1:57:45] I guess more importantly, we
[1:57:48] have to remind ourselves this
[1:57:51] was town-wide funding that wen
[1:57:53] into these parks.
[1:57:54] even though they're located in
[1:57:56] south oakville.
[1:57:57] so for us to have something
[1:58:01] where paid parking, that would
[1:58:03] mean people in north oakville
[1:58:04] would be in a disadvantage.
[1:58:07] those in close proximity could
[1:58:09] walk.
[1:58:09] bike.
[1:58:09] but for somebody in the far
[1:58:12] reaches of the community, only
[1:58:15] thing they have available is
[1:58:17] either public transportation o
[1:58:18] a car.
[1:58:20] so once again, I think we have
[1:58:21] to get away from the north
[1:58:24] versus south or east versus wes
[1:58:27] and come together and enjoy our
[1:58:28] parks.
[1:58:28] >> mayor burton: thank you,
[1:58:31] councillor.
[1:58:31] is there an objection to the
[1:58:36] motion?
[1:58:36] madam clerk, there is no
[1:58:37] objection.
[1:58:37] I declare the motion carried
[1:58:39] unanimously.
[1:58:39] thank you, everybody.

[1:58:54] for questions.
[1:58:55] she has a summary presentation
[1:58:57] if you're interested.
[1:59:00] but the meat of the matter
[1:59:02] before us is to approve the
[1:59:05] memorandum of understanding wit
[1:59:06] the halton environmental netwo
[1:59:08] regarding collaboration to
[1:59:12] continue the oakville ready
[1:59:13] program and authorize the
[1:59:16] solicitor to make modifications
[1:59:19] an is to execute the
[1:59:21] memorandum.
[1:59:21] how do you wish to proceed?
[1:59:24] councillor chisholm.
[1:59:26] >> councillor: I move the
[1:59:28] recommendation, your worship.
[1:59:29] >> mayor burton: thank you.
[1:59:32] I saw councillor longo.
[1:59:37] >> councillor: I would second
[1:59:38] the motion.
[1:59:40] >> mayor burton: if we weren't
[1:59:41] in committee of the whole.

[1:59:45] >> councillor: I withdraw my
[1:59:46] seconding of the motion.
[1:59:47] >> mayor burton: it's ok.
[1:59:47] we appreciate the spirit of
[1:59:49] support.
[1:59:49] may I put the vote.
[1:59:52] is there any objection to the
[1:59:53] motion?

[2:00:09] need it.
[2:00:11] and otherwise, all you have to
[2:00:13] do is receive the report.
[2:00:16] what's your pleasure, councillo
[2:00:17] adams.
[2:00:17] >> councillor: I would be happy
[2:00:21] to move the staff recommendatio
[2:00:22] recommendationto receive it.
[2:00:26] >> mayor burton: thank you ver
[2:00:27] much.

[2:00:29] there is no objection, the
[2:00:31] motion carries m unanimously.
[2:00:38] request from oakville
[2:00:39] enterprises.

[2:00:45] move it.
[2:00:45] councillor duddeck.
[2:00:47] thank you.

[2:01:39] we do not have advisory
[2:01:43] committee minutes to approve o
[2:01:44] receive.

[2:03:27] friend and relatives in oakvill
[2:03:31] are horrified by what happened

[2:03:40] harder than ever on inclusion

[2:06:58] items for this section.
[2:06:59] but councillor duddeck may hav
[2:07:00] a surprise for me.
[2:07:02] councillor duddeck.
[2:07:04] >> councillor: sorry.
[2:07:07] your worship, I don't know if
[2:07:08] would be appropriate if we wou
[2:07:09] waive the procedural by-law and
[2:07:13] hear the motion this evening
[2:07:14] from councillor robertson and
[2:07:16] yourself.
[2:07:16] given the time constraints I s
[2:07:19] september is fast approaching.
[2:07:22] that deadline needs to be
[2:07:23] addressed.
[2:07:23] I would be willing to give you
[2:07:26] motion to waive the procedural
[2:07:29] so it could be dealt with at
[2:07:31] this evening's meeting.
[2:07:34] >> mayor burton: thank you ver
[2:07:35] much.
[2:07:35] you made councillor robertson
[2:07:37] and myself very happy.
[2:07:39] and you probably made oakville'
[2:07:41] opt that objecophthalmologist.
[2:07:47] any objection to waive the
[2:07:53] procedure by-law by councillor
[2:07:54] duddeck and adams?
[2:07:56] madam clerk, I si see no objec
[2:08:00] tion.
[2:08:00] that's carried.
[2:08:01] councillor robertson, it's you
[2:08:09] platform now.
[2:08:10] for the public, can you read I
[2:08:12] as well as speak to it.
[2:08:17] I want to thank ruth sheridan,
[2:08:23] who does amazing things with t
[2:08:26] people with eyesight and visio
[2:08:28] problems in oakville.
[2:08:29] limited vision.
[2:08:32] they brought it to the seniors
[2:08:34] working advisory group.
[2:08:36] people don't realize what will
[2:08:38] happen in september.
[2:08:41] in september, optometrists, not
[2:08:47] ophthalmologist will take a job
[2:08:49] action as of september 1st.
[2:08:50] and that is for any children u
[2:08:53] to the age of 19 and any senio
[2:08:57] 65 and over who currently have
[2:09:00] eye testing done at an
[2:09:02] optometrist under ohip.
[2:09:05] in the past 30 years, ohip has
[2:09:09] underfunded optometrists.
[2:09:12] they have had a 9% raise in 30
[2:09:14] years.
[2:09:14] and at this point they're takin
[2:09:17] a job action.
[2:09:18] their job action is they will
[2:09:21] not be seeing children or
[2:09:23] seniors.
[2:09:23] directing them to family docto
[2:09:25] for any eye problems.
[2:09:28] because of this we think it's
[2:09:30] very important that the
[2:09:31] provincial government knows tha
[2:09:37] children and seniors are vital
[2:09:38] to us.
[2:09:39] we would like to do this motio
[2:09:43] [reading motion]] reading notic
[2:11:25] of motion 15.1 of agenda] I ask
[2:12:39] for your confirmation of this
[2:12:41] motion.
[2:12:41] >> mayor burton: thank you,
[2:12:42] councillor robertson.
[2:12:46] you stated the case very well.
[2:12:50] I do support it.
[2:12:52] councillor, I ask you for a
[2:12:54] recorded vote.
[2:12:56] and as is our new custom durin
[2:12:59] zoom meetings, anyway, let it b
[2:13:02] done by the clerk recording us
[2:13:04] all in support if that is the
[2:13:06] case.
[2:13:06] and otherwise, we'll have a bit
[2:13:10] of a roll call.
[2:13:12] is there any objection to the
[2:13:13] motion and the plan?
[2:13:15] madam clerk, there is no
[2:13:16] objection.
[2:13:16] please record this as a recorde
[2:13:21] vote unanimous support, thank
[2:13:23] you, everybody.
[2:13:25] >> councillor: thank you,
[2:13:26] everyone.
[2:13:26] thank you, swag.
[2:13:28] >> mayor burton: next item tha
[2:13:29] I have in fronts of me for you
[2:13:31] is the request for report on
[2:13:34] gipsy moth infestation efforts
[2:13:37] brought to us by councillor
[2:13:38] adams and councillor lishchyna
[2:13:42] I believe it's in your agenda.
[2:13:43] you had a chance to read it.
[2:13:46] if the councillors don't need t
[2:13:49] speak - councillor adams, woul
[2:13:50] you like to speak to it?
[2:13:52] >> councillor: yes, thank you.
[2:13:53] I would like to speak to it
[2:13:54] briefly as much as I have two
[2:13:58] minor additions to what's befor
[2:14:00] you.
[2:14:00] that is to add after what's, t
[2:14:05] third point, to continue that
[2:14:07] line with and things residents
[2:14:12] can do to help gi gipsy moth
[2:14:18] infestations and staff report t
[2:14:21] manage infestations during 202
[2:14:25] I hope staff can provide the
[2:14:27] report in time for any aerial
[2:14:32] spraying improvements to be mad
[2:14:35] in the upcoming year.
[2:14:37] >> mayor burton: thank you very
[2:14:38] much.
[2:14:38] council, may I put the vote on
[2:14:44] the request for the report as
[2:14:45] amended by the councillor or
[2:14:47] adjusted by the councillor?
[2:14:48] is there any objection to the
[2:14:50] request for report?
[2:14:52] >> councillor: mayor burton.
[2:14:53] on that with the report.
[2:14:55] I wonder, councillor adams, wit
[2:14:59] what you just wrote it, does
[2:15:01] that include what we can do to
[2:15:02] get I had of the eggs also lat
[2:15:05] on this summer?
[2:15:06] is staff coming back this summe
[2:15:08] to help staff know?
[2:15:12] something say, ok, public tree.
[2:15:15] you should notice eggs in the
[2:15:17] tree.
[2:15:17] for staff to be notified of the
[2:15:19] areas also so that they can get
[2:15:21] out and do something?
[2:15:23] >> councillor: well, that's why
[2:15:24] I specifically said any other
[2:15:26] viable options, because there
[2:15:28] are some things that will work
[2:15:29] in some cases.
[2:15:30] other cases they won't.
[2:15:32] I know that some residents are
[2:15:34] using some insecticides which
[2:15:37] may or may not be viable for t
[2:15:39] town to use in a broader sense
[2:15:40] they might work on a single tre
[2:15:42] you might have on your propert
[2:15:44] that's easy to access.
[2:15:45] but it might not work in a
[2:15:46] forest.
[2:15:46] so that's why I'm asking staff
[2:15:49] to tell us if there are other
[2:15:51] things that could be done and,
[2:15:54] for example, to what extent
[2:15:56] could egg scraping be done.
[2:15:57] >> councillor: ok.
[2:15:59] that's really good.
[2:16:01] also traps residents can
[2:16:03] install.
[2:16:03] in their own properties to
[2:16:06] catch.
[2:16:06] then the eggs won't hatch if w
[2:16:12] catch.
[2:16:12] >> councillor: is that somethi
[2:16:14] staff think we could do in a
[2:16:16] more broader sense or is it jus
[2:16:18] not viable on a town-wide level
[2:16:21] >> councillor: appreciate that.
[2:16:22] that's good.
[2:16:22] if they come back with that
[2:16:24] information this summer, I
[2:16:25] agree.
[2:16:25] look to the spring.
[2:16:27] we can't do anything now, more
[2:16:30] spaying what about that we hav
[2:16:31] done.
[2:16:31] but in 2022.
[2:16:36] stuff hopefully we can do this
[2:16:37] summer and fall to stop the
[2:16:39] infestation, which it's pockets
[2:16:41] it's not so bad in north
[2:16:44] oakville compared to other
[2:16:45] areas.
[2:16:45] I thank you for bringing that
[2:16:47] motion forward.
[2:16:48] thank you.
[2:16:49] >> mayor burton: thank you,
[2:16:49] councillor elgar.
[2:16:50] councillor chisholm.
[2:16:52] >> councillor: thank you, your
[2:16:54] worship.
[2:16:54] to councillor adams.
[2:16:56] the timing on this, are you
[2:16:58] looking for next year
[2:17:00] application of different
[2:17:02] creative ways of eradicating t
[2:17:05] gipsy moth?
[2:17:06] might be late for this year for
[2:17:08] anything to be done on any
[2:17:10] action by staff at this point I
[2:17:12] time.
[2:17:12] can staff comment on that?
[2:17:16] sorry.
[2:17:16] >> councillor: I understand tha
[2:17:18] we're too late for the aerial
[2:17:20] spraying for this year.
[2:17:21] that part is aimed at the 2022
[2:17:24] aerial spaying program, as I
[2:17:26] understand it.
[2:17:27] my other part is asking if ther
[2:17:29] are any other things that could
[2:17:31] be done during the rest.
[2:17:33] the answer might be no.
[2:17:36] if staff have further
[2:17:37] information, I would be happy t
[2:17:38] hear it.
[2:17:39] >> mayor burton: as councillor
[2:17:42] elgar brought out, there's
[2:17:44] hypothetically egg scraping and
[2:17:47] traps and so on.
[2:17:49] we'll get a report.
[2:17:50] and we'll all be the wiser for
[2:17:52] it.
[2:17:52] may I put the vote?
[2:17:55] any objection to the request f
[2:17:56] report?
[2:17:56] madam clerk, there is no
[2:17:59] objection.
[2:17:59] the report request is approved.
[2:18:03] thank you, everybody.
[2:18:07] does anybody else have anything
[2:18:09] else?
[2:18:09] if you don't, it's time for a
[2:18:12] mover and seconder for the
[2:18:13] by-laws?
[2:18:13] councillor longo.
[2:18:18] and councillor adams.
[2:18:20] moving the by-laws, I take it.
[2:18:22] thank you.
[2:18:25] any objection to the by-laws a
[2:18:27] presented in the agenda and
[2:18:29] noted by the clerk.
[2:18:30] madam clerk, there is no
[2:18:31] objection.
[2:18:31] the by-laws are adopted.
[2:18:34] council, it's been terrific
[2:18:36] working with you.
[2:18:39] and I have to say you now ended
[2:18:41] the meeting by completing the
[2:18:43] work on the agenda.
[2:18:44] good night, everybody.
