[2:54] The proposal put forward by Merci brings us to [2:58] point 2 of comments on questions [3:00] relating to the topics on the [3:01] agenda that I have just named. [3:04] You do [3:13] n't have a question? [3:16] Blood problem, but there's no [3:17] question about it. [3:17] Blood problem. [3:21] I'll continue, uh, [3:23] I'll be at point 3. Probation of the [3:26] minutes. You all received it. [3:28] This is in line with our discussions regarding the [3:30] decision of the proposer for [3:33] Merci. [3:35] 4 files from the town hall, not tonight. 5. [3:38] General direction and claw. 5.1 [3:40] Regulation 2026 514 on Pricing [3:43] Notice of Motion and Filing of Draft [3:44] Regulation. In fact, it is related to 5.1 [3:48] points 9.1 intermunicipal expectation [3:50] the sharing export of the arena and 9.2 [3:52] 2 memoranda of understanding for [3:53] the use of the arena uh all [3:56] points which are linked there I will give [3:57] a general explanation for that I [3:59] could go more precisely but [4:02] so several [4:04] years ago we started discussions with [4:05] the municipalities you see poisines to [4:06] share the operating costs of the [4:08] renovation uh last year for the for the [4:12] 2025-2026 season an expectation which was [4:15] signed with the municipalities of Suminac [4:17] de Nouvelle et de Maria et de Newchman [4:20] and what was agreed at that [4:21] time was that we gave ourselves a [4:23] one year expectation to work on [4:26] the criteria and come back with an expectation [4:28] on a longer term. There is [4:30] work that has been done over [4:31] the winter, among other things with the [4:32] various municipalities, and now we are [4:34] coming today with a new [4:36] version of the agreement that we are putting forward [4:38] tonight, [4:40] and it will have an impact on [4:43] these three points. So 9.1 is [4:46] really the agreement for [4:47] operating expenses. We reviewed the [4:48] cost sharing a bit, the way we calculate [4:51] the cost allocation. Um, so [4:55] in concrete terms, this could slightly reduce the [4:56] amount requested by the [4:57] municipality of Nouvelle, just a little bit. [5:00] Well, we held discussions [5:02] with the [5:04] municipalities, [5:06] then submitted the draft agreement, and we [5:08] received responses. [5:11] For the next three [5:14] years, regarding the draft agreement, point [5:16] 9.1, [5:17] the municipalities of Nouvelle and [5:20] Maria are participating, but SUAC and Nichman [5:22] will no longer be participating, according to what we understand. [5:26] So, to understand this, what we did [5:30] last year was to establish two pricing structures: one [5:33] for [5:35] municipalities that signed the agreement, [5:37] including youth, with a [5:40] fee of $100 for everyone involved in [5:42] artistic activities, [5:45] payable to the city; and the remaining [5:47] balance for [5:48] municipalities that did not participate in the agreement. [5:49] The fee per user, which [5:53] was $800, will now be $1200, so [5:56] $100 less. 1100 totals 1200 and [5:59] to implement this [6:01] pricing we must modify our [6:02] pricing bylaw and that is [6:04] point 5.1 of the day the [6:08] bylaw its pricing [6:10] all all city pricing whether it be [6:12] hours at the reenactment at the campground the [6:15] fees to put a [6:18] minor exemption permit it is found in [6:19] this large bylaw and since we are going [6:21] from 800 to 1200 we have to modify [6:23] bylaw 2026 514 on verification [6:26] we will also make a small change [6:28] for players who are [6:31] in the BB a $50 application [6:34] that will apply since it is the BB [6:38] do practices uh not only [6:40] when they travel on the territory it is [6:42] much stronger. The [6:44] fee for non- [6:46] resident adults who have not signed the agreement is [6:49] $300. [6:51] So that's it for point 5.1 on the [6:53] shelter regulations. If you [6:54] agree, then we will table the notice of motion [6:55] and submit a draft [6:57] regulation. The regulations can be entered at [6:59] the next meeting in September, as [7:01] proposed by Mr. [Name], thank you. [7:04] 5.2 reapplication of an expense of [7:06] 116950 to the loan regulation 2015 262. [7:12] Uh we did some paving work [7:16] which we submitted [7:19] in the envelope the TCQ is the tax [7:22] it is a financing of subsidies [7:23] that we have an envelope which is at the city [7:26] and we can not it is to use [7:27] subsidies for [7:29] paving work different works of boirie and [7:31] the TCQ changed their criteria which means [7:33] that the paving work which we [7:35] thought we could finance with the TEC [7:37] is no longer accepted since it was a [7:39] resurfacing of more uh more important work [7:42] , more spheres. And [7:45] with this resolution, what we're going to [7:47] do is, uh, since we [7:50] were refused for 116950, [7:53] uh, we're going to use [7:57] a regulation, an old [7:58] loan regulation that we had made. We had [8:00] done some road trimming work in the [8:01] communal street and this work is eligible [8:03] for tech. So, if I can [8:06] imagine, we're going to remove them from the [8:07] Como Street loan regulations. These [8:09] roadworks, we will finance them with [8:11] technology, [8:14] these are works of 130, [8:16] 131,000, 135. Then, uh, we will take the [8:21] roadwork tables that we are doing at the [8:23] moment, which were done today [8:25] on the street of the civic center and on [8:27] Tracège street, [8:29] which should normally be financed by [8:31] loan settlement. We are going to [8:33] transfer the work that we are doing [8:34] this year that we were supposed to finance by [8:36] loan settlement. We will [8:38] add them to the old [8:40] 2025 loan regulations. [8:42] We have released 116,000 for [8:46] financing per piece. [8:48] that it's a little clear [laughs] [8:51] but essentially we're not losing [8:54] money, there have been some small [8:57] changes in TCQ in the way [8:59] subsidies are granted. We're going to play a [9:01] little game of [9:04] musical chairs to replace the work, but [9:06] if it's money, it's a [9:07] grant that we'll go and get, just like for [9:10] different work. We're going to use it [9:12] for work in the rather than [9:14] work in 105. Is that okay [9:16] ? proposes proposes thank you 5.3 3 act [9:21] of donation in favour of [9:24] tracadasiage habitations modification it is for the [9:26] project of 14 housing units which is located on [9:29] the street just opposite the [9:32] city by resolution gives the land [9:36] to tracadasiage habitations which are the [9:39] promoters of this project [9:42] and it is a project which is financed by [9:44] the CMHC Canadian Housing Corporation and [9:48] well others have funds so [9:50] consolidated funds of gardens and the CMHC realized and [9:53] then asked us to [9:54] make small modifications in the [9:56] resolution which made the city [9:58] give the land. [10:01] So we just want to make those [10:02] changes. Essentially what we were [10:04] saying is that [10:05] the city's objective is to [10:07] give the land to traditional housing [10:09] and if there is no project that takes place on [10:10] that land for various [10:12] reasons, well, within the [10:15] next 5 years the city can [10:17] reclaim the land. That way we [10:20] understood that we could also take back the [10:22] building, but that's not in the [10:24] city's interest, that's not what we want. We're going to [10:25] make some small changes to [10:26] clarify for everyone, either at the house [10:28] or the intention of the same, [10:33] so we could, by resolution, make these [10:36] changes, and in the present [10:38] resolution, what we just said is that we [10:40] authorize the [10:41] general manager to sign a [10:44] notarial deed there if the CHL wants more [10:47] than the resolution [10:49] wants to notarize this element, so that [10:51] authorizes us to proceed to avoid [10:54] waiting for a next one. [10:56] Obviously, when it's always respected, [10:57] when it's respected, [10:59] it will propose. David proposes, thank you. [11:05] 6 treasury 6.1 by-law 2026 513 [11:08] decreeing an expenditure of 550,000 and a [11:10] loan of 550,000 [11:12] to finance the municipal contribution [11:14] to the major renovation project of [11:15] the housing office building [11:17] located at 5 rue de la fabrique. [11:18] So it's the building that [11:20] 's behind the church, between the [11:22] autumn church and the Bourg school, uh, there are [11:27] some important works that need to be [11:29] done. The housing authority [11:31] can carry out work. It is [11:33] 90% funded by the SHQ, by the [11:36] Quebec government and there is 10% [11:39] of the work which is paid payable by [11:41] the city. These are 5.5 [11:44] million building renovation works, [11:47] major renovation and so the [11:49] city's 10% charge represents 550,000 [11:52] and well to pay this part when we have to [11:55] go to regulation, that's what we [11:56] do with this resolution [11:59] I propose just [12:03] 6.2 that we expect to pay by July 31, [12:05] 2026, it comes to 764,000 [12:08] dollars. [12:10] in the most important amounts which [12:12] attracted my attention 52500 [12:15] uh for the tracad housings for [12:20] it is 139 for the acquisition of a plot of [12:22] land which we had passed by resolution [12:24] in the Saint-Louis road to secure [12:26] the roundabout 32940 [12:30] to make the purchase of we had passed [12:33] by resolution the expense passed during the [12:35] last month to the lot for the smoothing [12:37] of the [12:40] members all received it is this. [12:48] Report on operating activities [12:49] for tax purposes as of June 30, 2026. [12:53] This is simply for information purposes; a [12:55] filing has been submitted by the Director General regarding [13:01] operating activities. What I can [13:02] tell you in general is that things are [13:04] going well by mid-June. It's [13:06] always a more important exercise, I would [13:09] say, which is done in September or October, [13:11] but at the moment, it's going [13:12] well. A little less income from [13:14] golf, not from golf at the campsite in June. We're [13:17] talking about fifteen dollars [13:20] less than what the [13:21] budget was. We expect [13:23] we are still in the high [13:25] season but generally there are more or [13:28] less in revenues and [13:30] expenses but we are generally [13:32] following the budget that was [13:34] planned which was adopted in the fall [13:38] apart from investment activities [13:40] now it is also a deposit [13:43] everything that relates to [13:44] fixed asset investments we had our fixed asset [13:46] trial plan which was [13:48] also adopted last December [13:50] and you generally, we are [13:53] following what was planned for the [13:57] I have nothing major to note in these [13:59] two activity reports [14:01] uh 6.5 6.6 it is uh small [14:05] modifications 6.5 authorized representative [14:07] to the bank account there that's it making [14:10] small modifications. This follows the [14:12] appointment of Ms. Julie Nado, who [14:14] is also the coordinator of [14:15] administrative services. We are here to clarify [14:17] who is authorized to use the bank account. [14:19] always an elected official, a staff member [14:22] who is authorized to sign [14:25] documents or who represents the [14:26] municipal body. So myself, in my absence, [14:29] Rist [14:31] on the administrative side, it's Mr. [14:33] Director General creating his absence, [14:36] Julie [14:41] proposes precisely the [14:43] same principle, 6.6, it's about accessing what to do. [14:46] We will add Mrs. Julie Nado as the [14:48] main administrator on our [14:50] account. [14:53] Proposal [14:56] 7 urban planning and environment 7.11 1 [14:58] demolition request at 1051 rue sur [15:02] mer 4542166 [15:06] can show it to you on screen. It is [15:08] located south of the Hydro- [15:12] Québec building, near the [15:14] administrative buildings. It is a three- [15:16] season cottage that is really in an [15:18] erosion zone, close to number 4, which is [15:20] in very bad condition [15:22] and the owners wish to demolish it. [15:25] has been presented to the [15:27] demolition committee. In fact, if it is not demolished, it will [15:29] ultimately disappear [15:32] with erosion. [15:34] Therefore, the demolition committee recommends [15:36] accepting [15:39] this request. [15:42] The urban planning committee [15:44] is the demolition committee. It's a [15:46] logo, it's been a legal requirement for [15:48] about 2 years. Um, the cities have to [15:50] appoint a demolition committee, so [15:54] who sits on it, and there are rules. It's [15:56] presented in the [15:57] municipal newspaper. When there is a request for [15:58] demolition, it must be a separate committee from [16:00] the urban planning advisory committee. [16:03] It is said that only [16:04] demolition is requested. It's decisive, it's [16:07] indeed true, it's a committee [16:08] that is decisive. So tonight, we can [16:11] simply [16:12] file the committee's decision, [16:17] mentioning that people can, [16:21] it's true, and anyone can [16:22] appeal for demolition in writing to graph [16:26] 2826 [grunt] [16:28] because as you see on the screen, there was a [16:30] building, there is [16:32] a building in very bad condition, a [16:34] ch 3, [16:43] we don't need a resolution, the [16:45] resolution is to have, [16:48] thank you, 7.2 minor variance request [16:52] at 54 Gare Street, it's lot [16:54] 3547406, [16:58] elements that deviate on a [17:01] garage renovation project. The height of the [17:04] walls from ground level is [17:08] 3.96 m, whereas the regulations [17:11] stipulate a maximum height of 3.65 m [17:17] plus 0.31 m and the projected height of the [17:21] garage door is 3.66 [17:24] m. The height specified in the regulations is [17:27] 3, a little higher. It is an [17:30] existing garage that is being modified [17:32] to accommodate a vehicle that was [17:36] stored in a temporary shelter next to [17:38] the garage. This allows the temporary shelter to be removed [17:40] . [17:44] The urban planning advisory committee [17:46] recommends accepting this request to [17:51] conclude by resolution. [17:54] THANKS. 7.3 3 request for a [17:57] site plan and architectural integration [18:00] on lot 6495901. [18:04] This is a lot which is on the summit of [18:07] Montsaint-Joseph [18:09] plus in the area to the IS where there are already [18:12] chalets located very close to [18:15] existing chalet. And well, the owner [18:18] has some adjacent land and [18:22] wishes. Well, you see, uh, [18:27] we can't see the chapel, but the chapel [18:29] is on the left there. [18:31] That's the large antenna. Yeah, [18:33] thanks. Then a little further down there, there are [18:35] chalets that were built a [18:36] few years ago. Well, we have a [18:39] landowner with some land in that [18:40] area around the lot that is [18:42] targeted in Turquoise, and he wanted to [18:44] clear a portion of that lot, an [18:47] access road to make himself an [18:48] access road. Uh, but since the CCU didn't have [18:52] the [18:54] overall project, we just have a request for a [18:57] diversion for an access road, but [18:59] we don't know what will be done, what [19:01] construction is planned. On this lot [19:03] and the surrounding lots, what CCU [19:06] recommends is to refuse the request [19:07] from P and to have details on [19:12] the objectives in order to have an [19:14] overall plan, not just for [19:15] clearing an access road, [19:17] but for the entire development of these areas. Yes, [19:20] before we can then, [19:22] if you agree, [19:24] this resolution would refuse the [19:26] request from the country. [19:29] I propose to simply [19:32] mention, that's true, madam. [19:33] This is to remove the discussion on the [19:35] decision-making process for this project. [19:39] This point 7.4 request for funding [19:41] from the municipal green fund for the [19:42] feasibility study project for measuring [19:45] energy efficiency and [19:46] decarbonizing municipal buildings [19:48] in the city, on mayor's authorization, has been [19:50] working for a few months with the [19:52] Union of Quebec Municipalities. We [19:53] are a few municipalities pooling our resources [19:55] to improve the efficiency of [19:58] our municipal buildings. Um, and we have [20:01] a firm that's assisting us with this, [20:03] analyzing the [20:05] different buildings. This [20:09] costs $100,000, but we can [20:11] seek funding for 80% [20:14] of the costs related to these procedures. This [20:18] resolution aims to [20:21] authorize us to [20:24] apply for financial assistance that would [20:25] reimburse 80% of the costs, and we [20:28] commit to paying our share if we are accepted. [20:31] So, of the $100,000 to $80,000 grant, [20:35] we commit to paying our [20:38] share if we accept the grant [20:42] proposed by Mr. [Name missing]. I [20:50] explained earlier the [20:52] intermunicipal agreement for [20:53] sharing the operating costs of [20:55] the Le Clair Arena from 2027-2029 [20:58] to proceed with [21:00] signing a 3-year agreement ( [21:04] 2026-2027-2028). Municipality of News and [21:06] Marci [21:11] 9.2 2 This is related to this agreement, a [21:14] memorandum of understanding for [21:15] the use of the Leclerc Arena by [21:18] the Caroton Miners' Association. We already have [21:21] memoranda [21:23] of understanding between the city and [21:24] the miners' association. We also have agreements with [21:26] the various users of the arena, [21:28] with the association, the artistic ball club, [21:30] and the modification we are making [21:33] to the agreement is to allow us to have [21:35] access to the list of [21:37] registrations in order to charge the [21:39] non-resident rate. We need to know [21:41] which young people are registered or in [21:43] criminal and from which municipality they [21:45] come, with their address, so that we can [21:47] bill them. Well, to do [21:50] things properly, we sign an [21:52] agreement in which the [21:56] association is asked to simply [21:58] provide this information. [21:59] The association has this information [22:01] when people register to [22:03] transfer it, everything will comply with [22:06] Law 25, which is the law on the protection [22:08] of personal information, [22:12] so this proposal, [22:17] uh, 9.3.3, now authorization for [22:19] holding the Rust Québec event on [22:21] August 16 and 17, 2026. It's an event where about [22:24] twenty cyclists who will be [22:26] passing through Carlot [22:28] asked if they could sleep, use [22:31] the car room, prepare [22:34] meals and sleep, use the showers at the [22:35] Claire bar, uh, and so with this [22:38] resolution, we would authorize them [22:40] to use these buildings for the [22:43] 16th and 17th. You will propose, [22:46] thank you, point Q, authorizations for a [22:48] special activity on the site of the [22:50] gold hut. It is the [22:52] social pediatrics centre of Accrochecœur Gaspés [22:55] du Sud that wants to do a [22:58] family gathering event which will include [23:00] musicians, games for the [23:02] sale of alcohol and food to [23:04] benefit the organization, an [23:06] activity to raise [23:07] funds for this organization on [23:10] September 5, 2026 between 10am and 4pm, they are [23:13] asking us for permission to use the [23:15] site of the shack of gold. The shack of [23:19] gold is the 'omusque'. The [23:22] owner of this facility [23:24] may also have an agreement with the [23:25] museums. For our part, we agree with [23:27] this resolution to hold activities [23:29] on September 5th at the site [23:32] proposed by the [23:35] same type of request. This time it's [23:37] for the Horizons Park by [23:39] the organization Mi-Chemin de Gasp Incorporated. This [23:41] organization covers the entire [23:43] Gaspé territory and is coming for [23:45] people with [23:46] addiction problems. They want to hold a [23:50] public activity on August 29th from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The [23:54] Horizons Park, with its music, has this [23:56] information aimed at raising awareness. [23:59] Makeup is also agreed. Proposed by [24:01] Mr. [Name], authorized. Thank you. 10. [24:05] Public Works and Buildings 10.1 [24:07] Agreement on [24:08] Electric Charging Infrastructure. This is an agreement [24:11] with the [24:13] Gaspé-Madeleine Intermunicipal Transportation Authority. The [24:16] Authority has a project to electrify [24:19] its bus fleet. Currently, [24:22] the Authority awards contracts to [24:25] private companies that own and [24:27] operate the buses. The [24:29] Authority wants to electrify its bus fleet [24:32] and it may have subsidies to do it [24:34] but the regime must own [24:36] the buses, it's a change of [24:38] model. So they targeted routes, [24:40] targeted sectors where they could [24:42] electrify [24:44] and uh they have this will take bombs [24:46] and what comes next is to install [24:48] recharging bombs in the [24:50] municipalities on [24:51] municipal land and ask us at the [24:54] city if we are ready to receive these [24:55] vouchers which will be paid for in full [24:57] by the region which will seek [24:59] subsidies and what we see is uh [25:02] in the resolution there is to put [25:03] the vouchers uh on the land [25:07] really on the western part of the main [25:10] where the bonus the surpatus comes out. [25:15] So we commit to providing the space and [25:17] clearing that land. And in [25:19] return, the regime will be able to [25:21] use it to recharge its buses. [25:22] This is when there are no buses, but [25:24] the city will also be able to use it to [25:25] recharge its vehicles. [25:28] It's needed. There is no loan with this [25:31] agreement. We come to finish the tour [25:33] by [25:35] authorizing uh [25:46] sir assignment with [25:50] I propose [25:55] next point 10 point [25:59] 2 campaign of measurement of deputy of a [26:01] sanitary sewer network for it is in [26:03] the reflection project of the boulevard Pon [26:05] so lacquered the m factory. Uh, we need to [26:09] measure the flow rates in our [26:11] sewer network since we are doing the entire [26:13] sewer network under the 132. We have [26:17] received three bids. First of [26:19] viséo super conseil aviso super conseil [26:22] 86250 [26:24] one of Can explore 56650 and a very one of [26:28] Nord for 47005. [26:34] Usually well everything that touches the [26:36] reflection project of 132, we work [26:37] with the Ministry of Transport and [26:38] Sustainable Mobility. It is [26:40] usually the ministry that gives [26:42] contracts, but since this portion of [26:45] the 132 project is financed, the [26:47] city is paying for these works 100%, [26:50] so it is much simpler for the [26:51] city to give the contract directly than for [26:53] the ministry to do the [26:54] process and then we receive the [26:56] bill. [clears throat] that we [26:58] could first give the contract [27:00] to the firm Nordico which is the lowest [27:02] bidder compliant with 48005 [27:04] and it is an expense that we will finance [27:06] with the TCQ so we will seek [27:08] subsidies to pay 100% [27:11] I propose to go for [27:14] 10.3 3 environmental studies and [27:16] characterizations of soils and [27:17] materials for the land of ru for [27:19] multi-unit housing no mandate. This [27:22] follows the announcement that took place on [27:24] July 15th where the [27:27] Eastern Quebec Development Corporation announced that the [27:31] Quebec and Canadian governments were supporting [27:35] the Eastern Quebec Development Corporation to [27:36] develop around 400 housing units [27:38] in Eastern Quebec. There are 48 [27:40] homes that will be built in Caron as a [27:44] result of this announcement. We've been [27:46] working on this for a long time, but we're [27:47] very happy. These housing units [27:49] will be built on a lot on [27:51] CO Street that currently belongs to the [27:53] school board. We're [27:54] in negotiations with the [27:56] school board to acquire [27:57] this land, and if we want the project to move forward as quickly as possible, [28:00] we [28:02] need to commission [28:05] geotechnical studies. The firm [28:08] Anne Fitec will be commissioned for an amount [28:10] of 590,000.62, [28:12] excluding taxes. This [28:15] expense is expected to be financed from [28:18] our operating surplus, [28:19] not allocated to the city for [28:21] affordable housing projects like these. [28:24] Typically, the city donates land and [28:26] provides a tax exemption, and [28:29] this type of study is part of the [28:31] municipal contribution. We have an amount [28:33] to allocate [28:35] to the project, so 59,000 will be considered the [28:38] city's contribution to the housing project. We are submitting a [28:46] request for financial assistance under the [28:47] Local Development Assistance Program, specifically the [28:49] recovery, security, and planning component. [28:51] route it will be a [28:54] third attempt to seek [28:56] funding to build the [28:58] Saint-Louis road from the old road to the [29:03] foot of the hills where the sphere [29:05] ends the drooling ends. These are [29:08] works that are truly necessary. [29:10] We are [29:13] 90% subsidized in this program. We are waiting [29:16] to receive financial assistance. We're filing [29:18] for the fourth time. So, if you agree, this is [29:22] to allow it. [29:25] Suggested by Merci. [29:27] Public safety will be discussed at the [29:31] next session, which will take place on [29:33] September 14, 2026. [29:36] As for other topics, we have no discussion of them tonight [29:38] . Before handing over the floor, let's take [29:39] a quick look around. I'll start with [29:41] Madam Mayor. [29:43] Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Uh, [29:46] simply to say that I [29:48] personally want to congratulate the [29:50] entire municipal team [29:52] because we know very well that in [29:54] the current busy summer period, when there is [29:57] the highest rate [29:58] of traffic, [30:00] uh, I get a lot of it, I walk a [30:02] lot and there are many people [30:03] who stop me and say, 'My God, [30:05] the city is clean and everything is [30:06] beautiful.' This means that it requires a huge amount [30:09] of effort from the [30:11] municipal team. I don't think I've been [30:12] saying this for a year, but it's very [30:14] important to say that it requires a [30:16] lot of versatility; we see them [30:18] everywhere. Anyway, I don't know, [30:19] I come across one or the other, I always congratulate them [30:22] because it's not [30:24] that kind of work. I want to [30:26] say this personally, and also, [30:30] but always in connection with [30:33] human resources relations, that is to say, [30:34] simply to say that we have had [30:36] some meetings with the human [30:38] resources committee regarding their working relationship, [30:40] and normally we should [30:43] very soon have the outcome of [30:45] certain files which, in my opinion, we [30:47] hope will be positive, that perhaps [30:50] at the next meeting or not [30:53] too late we should have some [30:55] good news, I cannot [30:57] say more unfortunately. Thank you. [30:59] madam, uh, [31:01] just to say that it's a [31:04] quieter period. So I didn't have a [31:05] meeting with Mont Saint-Joseph or any [31:08] leisure and sports files. I [31:11] can only note that the city is [31:14] buzzing in the summer and is not lacking in [31:17] leisure and sporting activities. Then [31:19] I wanted to say that there's no [31:21] shortage of activities to do. [31:22] I was watching the activities tonight, there were a lot of them [31:24] today, you know, with the [31:26] sound. So [31:27] the offer here is still pretty fantastic. Then I just wanted [31:30] to mention that [31:32] last weekend there was a big [31:35] tournament that involved a [31:37] lot of young people. I found that [31:38] really interesting when you look at [31:40] the photos of the participants. That's a [31:41] lot of teams of young adults. [31:44] So it's interesting to have gone and reached out to [31:45] this [31:48] clientele as well. [31:50] So congratulations to the [31:52] organizers, to everyone who contributed to [31:54] this event. for [31:56] this wonderful activity which [31:59] complemented the regattas as well. [32:01] So it's very busy in town at the [32:02] weekend, but we also keep the [32:04] local youth busy. I find that interesting. [32:07] So thank you for being here in this beautiful weather [32:10] and then we'll see you soon. [32:13] Thank you Mr. Mayor. So, among all [32:16] the activities that are [32:18] currently taking place successfully, I would say in [32:20] the city of Cton, at the theatre, there is [32:23] currently an improv game being [32:24] played with an [32:26] absolutely incredible sunset. You [32:28] 're looking at Mr. de F.'s photos. [laughs] It's a [32:31] walk. Uh, that adds an activity on [32:34] Saturday, uh, at the Acadian Odyssey monument [32:38] in Parc des Horizons. There will [32:41] be an event organised by [32:43] the ecomuseum [32:44] of our CAD. So it's uh [32:47] [grunt][groan] [32:48] I would say as the national holiday of the [32:50] Acadians of Kenzou. Uh, there will be, uh, well, [32:53] different events there, including a [32:56] speech by Mr. Paul Leieux who [33:00] will talk to us about the founding families [33:02] and introduce the wives of these [33:04] families. Uh, census of 177, [33:08] so historical address, [33:11] flag ceremony, song with honor coral, and [33:14] we're going to make a toe to the 2029 meeting [33:17] of the World Acadian Congress which will pass [33:19] through Carlot. [33:21] This means that I will have the honor and [33:23] privilege of representing the [33:24] mayor and the municipal council. My [33:27] speech will be at 1:35 PM [33:30] [laughs] [33:33] just 4 minutes, [33:34] will be recorded, discuss live the [33:38] segments all over [33:39] RDI [laughs] 2029. [33:43] Thank you sir, nothing special for me [33:45] except that the F is doing well. Nothing [33:47] special, [33:48] thank you. Before moving on to speaking, [33:49] perhaps I would have two follow-ups there [33:50] related to the question period of [33:52] the last public session. There was [33:54] a request that had been made on one of the [33:56] ropes that was installed in the [33:58] park. Oh [33:59] yes. [33:59] Um, and we were asked if it was [34:01] possible to make slits or cuts on [34:05] this rope to have a [34:07] nicer finish for the ropes. [34:09] It's been done, it's settled. and the [34:10] second, there were comments [34:12] on the state of golf in general. [34:18] There is work that has been done there to [34:19] look at improvements with the team [34:22] . I would say that in [34:24] what has been named in the challenges [34:26] we have this year, there are [34:27] three or four worms there that are in [34:29] poor condition. That's because it's [34:31] winter, it's in the spring that we [34:33] see that depending on the [34:35] amount of snow, ice, sun [34:37] and so on. The reason this happens is that it's [34:39] difficult to recover those worms [34:41] once they're in bad condition at the beginning [34:43] of the season. We're working hard. Uh, there were [34:45] requests to have rakes added [34:47] to the sand traps, that has been [34:49] done. And, well, what we also see is that there was the [34:53] whole [34:55] irrigation system. 400,000 to 4,500 was [34:58] reinvested last year to redo [35:00] the irrigation system on the south side. Uh, [35:02] it left traces on the derin, there is [35:04] grass that has been sown but it is taking [35:06] perhaps a little longer than [35:08] anticipated but well that should be, should [35:11] be hidden. Then otherwise there [35:12] were comments on I [35:14] would say the general cleanliness [35:17] of the bathroom building or the [35:19] efforts that have been made to [35:22] correct this situation. Well, we have the [35:24] good news, which is that golf has been [35:27] steadily increasing in terms of [35:30] clientele for several years now, we have over 400 [35:32] golf members. So this is excellent news, [35:34] but it brings a [35:37] management flow that is a little bit [35:40] bigger than usual. So [35:41] we adapt, we adjust according to the [35:43] comments, but in general, [35:45] that being said, we have taken [35:48] constructive comments that we have taken, but [35:51] also [35:54] positive ones in general. I [35:56] want to emphasize in general that [35:58] people are very, very satisfied, and we can [36:00] see it here, there is a real enthusiasm, and there is [36:03] a marked presence of golfers, both [36:06] regulars, those in demand, and those who play. It's [36:08] very good [36:10] news, and we are constantly improving. There you go, [36:13] I will now give the floor to the [36:15] people in the room. People, name yourselves and [36:17] ask your questions. If you have any questions, I will [36:21] take an experience from you. [36:23] Ah, okay [laughs]. [36:24] I wanted to say, André Mathieu, I just wanted to [36:29] congratulate the organizers [36:33] of all the activities that have taken place this [36:35] summer. It's a [36:37] rolling drum, as they say. It [36:40] never stops. Then I think it's [36:41] appreciated. There are always lots [36:43] of people and in particular uh uh [36:49] ecovil regattas which I think were [36:51] a success with [36:56] the largest participation in [36:58] several years. [36:59] So I would like [37:02] [clears throat] for [37:03] congratulations to be passed on to them. [37:05] Secondly, regarding Mrs. [37:09] Denise who was talking about [37:11] street cleanliness, [37:13] I wanted to do a little [37:15] personal advertising. I have been an [37:17] eco-friendly walker for about twelve years. [37:20] So the whole area behind the [37:23] mountain street and the [37:25] railway line and all that, I clean [37:28] it [37:30] thoroughly [37:33] every time I walk. So, uh, [37:36] I'm actually happy to say [37:39] that my job is hurting me year after [37:40] year. [37:42] And citizens are [37:45] throwing away less, I think, and I think we should [37:48] also encourage them to throw away [37:51] less. Maybe, I don't know, it's the [37:54] young people who are throwing things away, they haven't been [37:57] told that they shouldn't throw their [37:59] garbage in nature, but maybe there will be [38:02] a reminder to be made at that [38:03] level. [38:04] It's good. Thank you so much for the [38:06] kind words, please pass them on to the team of course, and [38:07] then the organization of the [38:10] assignment for the looks. Thank you [38:13] also for doing your part. I think it's [38:15] super important when [38:17] all citizens can [38:18] put their weight behind the wheel and lend a [38:20] hand; it's really appreciated. [38:23] Thank you for that. Questions, comments. [38:27] Uh, I have a few points [38:30] that I took in [38:31] Yes. [38:32] Uh, Pascal Bois. [38:34] First of all, I'm going to [38:35] congratulate them on the improvements to the [38:38] city. I've been here for 8 years, mostly in the middle of [38:42] summer. That's [38:45] incredible. I'm sold out. [38:49] One thing I really [38:51] appreciated this year is that the [38:53] merchants receive the schedule for the [38:56] whole week. That's just wow [38:57] because these aren't my clients, I'm going to [39:00] tell them to go to the [39:01] tourist information office but they don't always make the [39:03] effort to go there. So then [39:06] I have to send them there to [39:07] preserve the jobs of our [39:10] young people in tourist information. Well, [39:12] even though I have a lot of things to [39:14] do, but I know I'm [39:16] piquing their curiosity here, I tell them that this is just [39:18] a small part. So this [39:20] programming stuff is wow wow wow. [39:23] I really appreciate that. Then there are [39:24] many activities. It's [39:29] incredible how when people arrive, [39:30] well, they haven't booked anywhere else, we'll [39:34] ask you how many days you have, you [39:36] know. That's right, I can really see it [39:38] there. I can really see it. [39:40] Then uh following that also, if I can, [39:44] I don't know if this is the place or the time, [39:46] but uh I don't know if I could have some [39:49] kind of exemption for [39:52] overflow when I have clients who [39:55] want to stay longer who do [39:57] n't want to go to church that I [40:01] could put them because I have a large [40:02] field but I have maximized my exclusion zone [40:06] if I could take like some [40:09] I'm talking more like vans my [40:10] small motorhomes that I could slide [40:14] like at [40:16] the entrance between the trees. Um, [40:20] I don't know if I should make a [40:21] written request or something like that. I [40:23] find it annoying because I lose some people who [40:25] leave because I don't have room to [40:27] go to church, but you know it's [40:29] just good for the meat economy, [40:33] we can look at it, we'll see [40:34] how we're going to contact you to see [40:37] a little bit, it's when I have [40:39] several [40:40] people at the campsite parked in [40:43] front but there are some who don't even know [40:45] that these are Vs, I could put them there and [40:46] they would be really happy to [40:48] stay longer because I have [40:51] everything set up at the campsite so they [40:53] can use it and have [40:55] services. That would be good. Uh, it's disappointing to [40:58] see them leave and then [41:02] spend their money elsewhere. [41:03] Yeah, but that's it, that's what I was [41:05] saying, well, if the church had an [41:07] overflow, then for the overflow, well, [41:11] maybe I could have an [41:12] overflow. [41:13] OK, we'll take a look while [41:14] respecting the [41:17] neighborhood's rules. That's [41:19] my priority right now. Yeah. I would [41:21] n't take much time, but I would take something [41:23] like a live van that wouldn't [41:25] disturb [41:28] the neighbors. In any case, all [41:30] the neighbors are very satisfied [41:33] with the public's peace and quiet. In any [41:36] case, it's a request, right? We won't know, but that's what we're here for [41:39] . We'll take a [41:41] look and then we can contact them. [41:43] Yeah, that's it. OK. Then uh [41:47] another thing uh [41:50] a question it must have been written [41:52] somewhere but I didn't see it when [41:53] I was in town the 48 rental units [41:55] it's W I'm really [41:57] happy but it's affordable but is it [41:59] for families, is it for [42:00] retirees, but [42:03] all clientele there will be 3 and a [42:05] half, 4 and a half and 5 and a half [42:07] the idea is really to have the [42:10] quantity 3 and a half versus 5 and a half, 4 [42:13] and a half it hasn't been determined yet it will be [42:15] but it will be for all [42:17] low-income clientele. [42:18] Yeah, but these are [42:20] affordable accommodations. [42:20] Yeah, that's it. [42:22] So these are indeed [42:23] subsidized housing units. The same applies to [42:25] those facing the arena, so yes, there are [42:28] criteria for being able to have [42:32] a challenge question. I saw [42:34] new housing units for the CG [42:38] next to the Charc hall, the big [42:39] white building. Yeah, it's the 21st [42:41] residence. Yeah. How many [42:43] 21s are there? [42:44] Oh wow! OK, [42:47] that'll give it a boost. There are 21 [42:48] student residences very close to here [42:50] opposite the arena, there are 14 of them, then there will [42:51] be 48 a little further away. Then uh yeah there are [42:53] 13 semi-detached houses that were [42:55] built. So, with 26 homes, there is [42:57] a major housing issue: [42:59] people want to come and settle here, [43:00] but there is a lack of space. So, we're here to [43:02] address that. [43:03] Yeah. I, for one, liked to accommodate a [43:06] young woman who came to study for a few [43:08] weeks while [43:09] traveling. But I took my garlic [43:12] to allow it there. You know, it's [43:15] outside the city, she comes here to study. [43:17] I don't know her, but my teacher's heart [43:21] wanted to help her there. But that's how it is anyway [43:22] . I am not very comfortable with it either. [43:25] Uh, then uh, number 132, reflections [43:29] on tastes. I don't know, I [43:32] understand correctly, it's the whole 132 [43:35] Canton or just up to the church on the qu [43:37] and the church. [43:38] OK, that's it, it won't be OK, I'll see, it was going to [43:40] affect me. [43:41] No. [43:41] OK. Yeah. Then uh I made a [43:45] request to the gentleman [43:47] about the 90 km/h speed limit [43:50] which is placed in front of my property, which is [43:53] extremely dangerous. This is the [43:55] moment to ask if there is a follow-up to [43:57] this or [43:57] it was, uh, in fact I think I told [43:59] you that we would deal with it at the session [44:01] of the month where it was submitted to the members of the [44:02] council, [44:04] we were supposed to discuss it in the working room, but [44:05] ultimately we were unable to deal with it. [44:07] OK, [44:08] you are, that's what has been passed on to them, [44:11] OK, to have [44:12] a discussion before [44:14] we submit it in a public session. [44:16] You're here, you're here, if you don't [44:17] want to talk about it, it's the right time to [44:20] move the 70 km/h speed limit towards me. [44:22] I have the campground, it's 90 km/h in [44:25] front of me. [44:26] We understand that, like someone who's overtaking [44:28] a car, when you see the m, [44:31] you accelerate before hitting them. It's [44:33] Narcisse Street, [44:36] Saintong Street, I see Narcisse Street and it's [44:38] in a yard, but you can tell me how many [44:40] times I almost see [44:43] accidents, and it would be deadly. It's [44:45] incredible [44:46] because it's a [44:48] very popular recreational area in Carlton, as I said [44:50] in the letter, with trailers and [44:52] motorhomes. All my clients, without [44:56] exception, I tell them when they go out, speed [44:57] up because it happens very, very fast, very, very fast. [45:00] It's a matter [45:02] of safety. And many, many [45:04] people in the area come to see me saying, " [45:06] Pascal, what business is it?" [45:08] Maybe that's it. [45:10] I didn't think it was [45:11] the city. I called the [45:12] ministry, and they sent me back. Well, [45:15] finally, I knew what to do. [45:17] I wrote a letter hoping [45:20] that it will really be changed because we [45:23] really need to avoid the worst and it's [45:26] just pushing it back since there are [45:28] several, well, there are at least two big [45:30] curves, one following the other, at least 1 [45:33] km apart, but everyone knows that this [45:35] area is extremely dangerous, so that's why [45:37] I'm asking for the [45:39] safety of every citizen to push back [45:42] the limit by at least 1 km so that [45:45] people don't see 90 coming and it will be [45:48] less [45:52] dangerous. [45:54] So it affects a lot of views and there's a [45:57] lot of traffic there in the [46:00] back. That's incredible. I wasn't even thinking about [46:02] that. I was surprised to see [46:05] the traffic in that area [46:10] towards the sea. [46:12] So that's what I asked for. Okay, well, [46:16] we'll look at it now. It's on the agenda for the [46:18] council. We didn't get the [46:21] work plan just before earlier, but [46:22] we ran out of time to go through that [46:24] point. We'll discuss it. As you said, it's [46:26] the Ministry of Transport [46:27] that's responsible, [46:28] and I refer you. They're the ones who set [46:31] the limits, but to make [46:33] changes like that, they always ask for approval. They [46:37] expect... They don't respond to [46:39] requests from citizens directly, [46:41] but when municipalities [46:42] contact them, they go... We'll [46:45] discuss it here at the council meeting, and [46:47] then we'll come back to see... Yeah, [46:48] the guy from the ministry is really nice. I'm [46:52] 100% right. What's his [46:56] name, Charles? Is he [47:01] a person from Ouski, or is it [47:04] David Land? I don't think so. [47:06] Anyway, I know him. He knows the [47:08] area, and he says, "Yes, you're right." And there were [47:10] the trees too, on my [47:12] neighbor's property, [47:13] and there were the people too. I even knew he was going to make [47:16] a request for [47:18] streetlights in Saintonge because [47:21] he doesn't see... He was going to take the street, but it was [47:23] mostly the trees that were [47:25] blocking visibility, so I went to [47:27] see her, and uh, 30 seconds it [47:30] was fixed, she said yes, and even I can barely [47:33] see anymore, and an hour later [47:36] I think it was done. The fact that it [47:37] helped the area a lot, [47:40] and well, that's what happens when you ask, [47:42] sometimes you get surprises, it's [47:46] a sensitive subject, but no, [47:48] she was very aware, it helped her [47:50] because I also said in my letter, [47:53] but it remains that when weapons [47:54] grow, but I'll take care of that, a [47:56] good relationship, so she really [48:00] collaborates well, and I had another [48:04] question too, when I was talking I was thinking, uh, Ah yes, that's it, [48:07] someone told me, [48:12] I saw someone by chance today, [48:13] him, and he told me, I said I was [48:16] coming this evening, he told me, I wrote [48:18] a letter, sir, the gentleman I'm [48:22] talking about, wrote a letter to have [48:25] the Rue du Narcisse widened [48:28] because when two vehicles [48:30] realize That's extremely dangerous, that's [48:32] something. It's [48:34] always a question of answering those kinds of [48:36] questions. It's possible that when [48:39] letters are sent out, there's follow-up, [48:40] I can assure you of that. It hasn't [48:44] just reached me yet, [48:47] but it will be [48:48] processed, and then we'll... [48:50] Yeah, I didn't know, but it's been a long time since it [48:53] was sent, but [48:54] I said if we make a decision, but I'm [48:56] not involved in that case, I don't know if you were saying that, [48:58] but just say [48:59] to widen the street so that there are two voices. I have [49:03] private roads, I saw, but for [49:07] safety, but always for safety, [49:09] often when there are... it's also a [49:12] legitimate request, but in [49:14] any case, it's [49:15] just... it's still something [49:17] that concerns me, you know, yeah, we do [49:19] n't intervene in private streets, yeah, it's something [49:23] exceptional. [49:25] If he wants to widen his street, he doesn't have to [49:27] ask the city, in my opinion, that's [49:29] not his street, it's the street that [49:31] people... it's because of the street narciste [49:34] belongs to an owner at the end and [49:36] then there is a group that pays [49:41] to maintain the street. [49:44] But what he was telling me was that because [49:46] I answered exactly that, I said [49:48] but it's private there but when the [49:51] security of the people who take but that's it [49:55] I think there is no [49:57] power well you don't really have the [49:58] power but he told me to ask the [50:00] question I I ask the question [50:04] as we sometimes answer I cannot [50:05] confirm that this document exists. [50:07] I don't know if that, I don't know if it's [50:11] in, I can't [50:12] comment on that, it's something I [50:14] can check, but [50:15] with what you're telling me as a [50:17] description, yeah, [50:18] possibly we would send them back to the [50:20] owners of the land. [50:22] I know a little about the dynamics of this [50:24] sector, we've had different [50:26] cases, I mean, grouping and [50:27] then maintenance problems, [50:29] okay, [50:30] but it really depends on the owner first of all, [50:32] possibly [50:34] grouping, yes, [50:35] the pay, [50:37] because in the world, who can give [50:39] land. Yes [50:40] , but that's it, that's [50:42] it. I'm not saying I [50:43] necessarily agree, but I [50:44] understand the security aspect. If the [50:46] city has the power, then OK, because [50:48] in the case of power, it would be to [50:49] go see the owner and say [50:51] listen, your private street, [50:55] something should be done, but [50:56] I just passed on the message I was [50:57] asked to. Alright [50:58] . That's [50:59] it. [50:59] I'll still check if that [51:01] request is currently active. The fact is, [51:04] all things considered. I have been very [51:05] happy with the city of Carleton [51:08] for years. Incredible, incredible, [51:10] I already often come here and [51:14] I'm happy to pay [51:16] municipal taxes in Carleton, to be [51:19] part of Carleton's summer, and soon [51:21] I'll be here for longer, [51:22] 3 years, [51:24] good news, thank you, thank you, and we [51:26] are obviously happy to have [51:28] businesses here, it meets an [51:30] important need, [51:31] but I have an answer for the [51:32] overflow, it's a question of economy, yes, yes, [51:34] but it's noted, we'll [51:36] come back to that, well, that's the [51:39] speed limit of demand, [51:41] yeah. Having spent time there until [51:43] mid-June, that's not true, especially when it comes to [51:45] the church, because I didn't have a single [51:48] client for 3 weeks, not even a [51:49] call [51:51] until mid-June. Well, for the first [51:52] three months, I arrived on [51:54] June 26th, and I maybe had one [51:58] call until before spring break. Then [52:01] the church was full, and I would [52:03] n't like to mention other campsites, but we had plenty, plenty, plenty of [52:05] space. As I [52:07] often say, it's the center that people [52:10] think because it's not a campground, [52:12] and it's about giving permission for [52:14] overflow starting July 1st. I [52:17] think it's questionable, but I [52:19] agree that when we really have a [52:20] period, if I refused 15 today, let's say [52:23] OK, yes, but for the [52:27] first three weeks, it's not true that it's [52:29] overflowing. I'm able to find [52:32] more clients if I have overflow, and yes, that's it, it's [52:38] not in the capital. [52:40] that moment because we don't keep them in [52:42] his church. Just to let you know, [52:44] I have someone who [52:47] arrives and then sees my campsite and stops and says [52:50] you have space. Yes. Oh my god, we were [52:53] passing by because there were a lot of [52:55] people. But these people tell me [52:57] when they arrive they do like OK [52:59] how many days you have we take everything [53:00] you have you know but we [53:02] keep our people you know because we are [53:03] set up we have services you know. Yes, [53:06] the church is okay when you're [53:08] really in a bind, but not [53:10] everyone wants that. There's a clientele [53:11] that wants that too, but that clientele isn't going to [53:13] spend money in your place, I think [53:16] anyway. [53:17] But that's really [53:19] the objective behind the authorization, you [53:21] know, an overflow is always [53:24] difficult to assess. In [53:29] July, it's not a [53:33] municipal campsite. Yes, [53:36] this year compared to [53:37] previous years, we'll take into account the past [53:40] years. Yeah. [53:41] And if we ever see that it's [53:43] too full, you know, someone can [53:44] call me without refusing? Yes, but [53:46] here we open it, you know, somewhere, [53:48] I say everyone has their own mandate there. [53:51] I was saying, I'm a business, that's why [53:53] the church is so important, [53:55] but it's okay to [53:57] preserve the resources we use when [53:59] we're addicted, and I have nothing against that, [54:01] we can look at the world, but apart from [54:02] that, I find it boring because we [54:04] lose customers, and I don't have the proof [54:07] that I could [54:09] please people. Yeah, [54:15] great, thanks. Any other comments? Are there any [54:16] questions online? No, [54:19] that completes it. Someone suggests [54:21] R
