so it's okay yeah

22
00:02:54,519 --> 00:03:00,640
January is June 22 it's already

24
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,840
I'm sorry so welcome everyone

25
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,599
without further ado we will

26
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:09,120
proceed to the adoption of the agenda

27
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,959
so concerning that the agenda

28
00:03:10,959 --> 00:03:13,239
respects the rules relating to the

29
00:03:13,239 --> 00:03:15,799
internal governance of the meetings of the municipal council

30
00:03:15,799 --> 00:03:17,879
of the city of chroucher that all

31
00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:19,440
members of the municipal council have taken

32
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,599
note of the agenda from here

33
00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:23,400
after and which was contained in the life

34
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,200
of convocation and who renounces its

35
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,080
reading. Given that the order of the day has been

36
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,760
submitted, I would need a

37
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,840
proposer. I will propose Mr. [

38
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:33,159
Name],

39
00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:35,400
so Mr. Patrick Sanguer proposes

40
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,879
to adopt the order of the

41
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:39,560
extraordinary session of June 22, 2026 as

42
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,080
submitted. You agree, so there is

43
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,720
no request for a vote. It is adopted

44
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,840
unanimously.

45
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,560
We will now move on to item 4, which is: I

46
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,360
will now give the floor to Mr. [Name],

47
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,080
pleasure, granting of an

48
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,000
asphalt service contract in the amount of 39467

49
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000
and 75,

50
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,640
considering the need to redo

51
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,400
the asphalt in front of the entrance to the

52
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,040
leisure park following the incident that occurred

53
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,519
during the week of June 15.

54
00:04:06,519 --> 00:04:08,120
Considering that the city has identified

55
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,319
various locations for Saintaché road for

56
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:13,079
a similar intervention, either facing

57
00:04:13,079 --> 00:04:14,599
476

58
00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:18,880
506 and 529 Saint-Eachilé. Considering the

59
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,799
submission filed by the company

60
00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:23,440
Pavage SM for the execution of

61
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,440
all the work in the total amount

62
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,639
of 39467

63
00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:29,520
and 75.

64
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:30,880
Considering that this expenditure is in

65
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,880
accordance with the provisions of regulation

66
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,440
number 663-26

67
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,199
on contract management that it

68
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:40,360
can be carried out on a negotiated basis. Therefore

69
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,120
, I propose to accept the

70
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,120
bid submitted by the

71
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,919
paving company SM for the execution of the

72
00:04:47,919 --> 00:04:49,759
asphalt work in front of the entrance to the

73
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:51,560
recreation park as well as in the places

74
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,320
identified on Saintchué Road. to award

75
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,400
for this purpose a contract to the company

76
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,919
paragant of 39467

77
00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:02,919
and 75 before tax to authorise the

78
00:05:02,919 --> 00:05:04,639
director of public works Mr

79
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:06,880
Dave Tremblé to take all steps

80
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,880
and assign all documents necessary for the

81
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,400
realization of this resolution.

82
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,120
THANKS. So there is no request for a

83
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,039
vote. It was adopted unanimously. We

84
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:16,520
have reached point 5 of the

85
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:23,029
question period.

86
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:24,160
Good morning, Mr. Mayor. Hello everyone

87
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,080
.

88
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,919
Um, I wanted to know what kind of

89
00:05:27,919 --> 00:05:29,560
work is going to be done under

90
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,240
the road, the infrastructure. Yes, you're going to

91
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,280
put the fat one there, but I want to

92
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:34,160
know what's going to be done

93
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,479
underneath.

94
00:05:35,479 --> 00:05:36,759
First, they will

95
00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:38,000
repair it, which means they will remove

96
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,639
what is currently present and

97
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:43,039
then they will resurface the

98
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:45,080
path. So there is no

99
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,680
major infrastructure to redo the entire

100
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,919
roadway and it is really a

101
00:05:49,919 --> 00:05:53,790
surface that is done considering that the

102
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,440
thaw period has passed and on a

103
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,000
day that will not rain, it is certain because it

104
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:58,840
must not rain while

105
00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:00,160
the work is being done, this is the work

106
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,520
that will be done.

107
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,240
OK.

108
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,639
Second question, can I go right away

109
00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:06,680
for the second one?

110
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,560
Yes.

111
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,639
Why isn't this done

112
00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:13,160
internally since

113
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,639
we only have the equipment for over-sales? Yes, it's

114
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:16,360
the equipment we don't have and then it's the

115
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,199
driver too, it's a beer we

116
00:06:18,199 --> 00:06:20,800
call so it's a device where we

117
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,639
unload the room inside if we want.

118
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:24,360
It's extended and then a thickness which is

119
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,919
to put that so it makes a

120
00:06:26,919 --> 00:06:28,919
larger surface, it's not extended to the ru

121
00:06:28,919 --> 00:06:30,880
so it does a good job in reality,

122
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,840
it makes a better repair bing

123
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:36,240
conductor which is at distribution which is

124
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,479
capable of driving the device.

125
00:06:39,479 --> 00:06:42,589
THANKS.

126
00:06:42,599 --> 00:06:46,990
Hello advisor, regarding the

127
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,599
control and approval, was it

128
00:06:49,599 --> 00:06:52,280
by invitation or invitations

129
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:53,560
made by Mr. Tremble? There were

130
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,680
no invitations that were made by invitation. Yes, it was just an

131
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,319
invitation; it's

132
00:06:57,319 --> 00:06:59,639
really two different terms.

133
00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:00,759
Yeah, I understand. But what I mean is

134
00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:05,160
, is it in the sense that

135
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,120
you called someone from the

136
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,720
company and then gave them the

137
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:09,080
contract?

138
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,000
You want to know if there was more than

139
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:10,759
one person who

140
00:07:10,759 --> 00:07:12,400
Yeah, well that's it, it's because again

141
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:13,560
just to have better prices

142
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,400
when you have

143
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:17,280
several quotes.

144
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,879
It was done there. We consult people,

145
00:07:18,879 --> 00:07:20,680
we look at people who are

146
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:21,960
able to do it in the cases

147
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,879
we need. We look at the people who are

148
00:07:23,879 --> 00:07:25,280
available, we evaluate the

149
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,960
costs that are being done and requested at

150
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,680
that time, and we see that it is definitely the

151
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:33,029
person who will meet our needs at the

152
00:07:33,039 --> 00:07:34,879
lowest price, that's for sure. At the

153
00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:36,599
same time,

154
00:07:36,599 --> 00:07:38,560
several people who have been following, I don't have

155
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,919
the details of this

156
00:07:40,919 --> 00:07:43,039
element,

157
00:07:43,039 --> 00:07:46,000
we will be able to verify it.

158
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,560
The approach is not to save money. The

159
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,639
approach is made in the sense that there are

160
00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:52,039
always

161
00:07:52,039 --> 00:07:55,599
companies that are

162
00:07:55,599 --> 00:07:57,960
capable of doing this work. I

163
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:58,879
think there were two or three

164
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:00,400
companies in the Quebec City area that

165
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,800
are in the process of doing so. That's the

166
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,479
information I had. So, the

167
00:08:03,479 --> 00:08:05,159
checks were carried out in that

168
00:08:05,159 --> 00:08:07,599
direction. I have another question.

169
00:08:07,599 --> 00:08:10,440
Yeah. The subject is, why isn't it

170
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,759
announced on the city's website that

171
00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:14,560
you're looking for

172
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,000
someone to do this type of work?

173
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,400
We're taking note of that, and it might be

174
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:19,280
something to develop further

175
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,000
because we've just learned that there's

176
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,520
a special meeting, and all we

177
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,720
know is that there's an amount to be spent on this, we don't know

178
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,680
where, we don't know if anyone was

179
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,120
interested, who was able to participate, or who was

180
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,839
n't invited

181
00:08:33,839 --> 00:08:35,399
because, normally, the website and

182
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:39,479
calls for tenders should be the same.

183
00:08:39,479 --> 00:08:40,880
But not this kind of call for tenders

184
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,320
because, in reality, it's

185
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,880
less than 125,000. So we didn't issue a formal

186
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,680
call for tenders for

187
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:50,720
that. However, some

188
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,600
companies have been contacted and

189
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,360
the money is already allocated in the

190
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,200
budget. There are already funds allocated over the years

191
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,240
for reflection,

192
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,640
and for large areas where we

193
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,240
wanted to make a good repair, that's why we're here

194
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,880
to give

195
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:03,920
control. That's why we're going to hold

196
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,640
a meeting tonight

197
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:06,880
to vote on the resolution to give

198
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,079
control. It's

199
00:09:09,079 --> 00:09:10,640
as if it's not very

200
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,440
transparent. We agree, that's your

201
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:13,959
opinion [clears throat] for

202
00:09:13,959 --> 00:09:15,680
transparency, but all

203
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:17,480
the administrative procedures are

204
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,519
done in accordance with the fines and the

205
00:09:20,519 --> 00:09:22,120
rules that we were asked to follow. We're not going to go against

206
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,880
that, otherwise it would be

207
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,519
the opposite of what we're used to, as they say. No no

208
00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:28,760
, all the rules are in place,

209
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,760
there is transparency. Well, if we can

210
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,399
possibly make requests or

211
00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:34,959
register them, we'll see how it

212
00:09:34,959 --> 00:09:36,399
works. I cannot answer that

213
00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:37,839
point. I am not informed enough

214
00:09:37,839 --> 00:09:39,560
to know what the process was regarding the

215
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:41,160
obligations that were fulfilled during

216
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,240
that time. And it's certain that when we

217
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,640
call upon entrepreneurs, whatever

218
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,320
the reasons, we always

219
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,040
call upon all the entrepreneurs

220
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,360
who have already offered their service or

221
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:51,640
whom we know who provide the services

222
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,360
at the same time in order to offer it to as many

223
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,839
people as possible so as not to favor

224
00:09:55,839 --> 00:09:57,600
one person over another. That's

225
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,120
it. That's clear.

226
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,710
THANKS.

227
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,360
So there are no other questions?

228
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:05,360
As the question period is

229
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,360
over, we proceed to the session on

230
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,680
the year of the session. It is noted that

231
00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:09,680
all the items on the agenda were

232
00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:13,087
discussed. I propose, sir

233
00:10:13,087 --> 00:10:16,590
[laughs]

234
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,480
thank you very much to everyone present.

235
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,480
It's
