[14:17] In SunCheck123.

[43:57] Everyone welcome to the emergency community services committee meeting for

[44:02] September 3rd 2026. I'd like to call the meeting to

[44:06] order as we do have Quorum. I remind you that

[44:08] all electronic devices are to be switched to a non

[44:11] - audible function during the committee meetings. May I please

[44:14] have a mover in a secondary to approve the agenda

[44:17] as presented, move by Councillor Kretsch, seconded by Councillor Nann.

[44:22] Thank you very much. This is a show hands, all

[44:25] those in favor, please. And that's unanimous. Thank you very

[44:28] much. Moving on, does anyone have a declaration of interest

[44:32] this afternoon. Seeing none, we'll move on to the agenda.

[44:38] So when I were looking at the approval of the

[44:39] minutes of the previous meeting, which is July 9th, 2026,

[44:44] may I please have a mover in a second or

[44:45] two adopt the minutes on July 9th, 2026 meeting with

[44:48] the Emergency Community Services Committee moved by Councillor Wang, seconded

[44:55] by Councillor Alex Wilson. All those in favor, hand vote.

[45:00] And that's Carrie Genonymously. Thank you very much. There are

[45:04] no items for information today, so we're moving straight into

[45:07] items for consideration. Item 8. 1 FCS - 26061 Hamilton

[45:14] Royal Hamilton Yacht Club additional loan request before we begin

[45:18] the discussion. I'd like to have a mover in secondary

[45:20] to open the floor for questions, move by Councillor Kroch,

[45:25] seconded by Councillor N. Thank you very much. Let's start

[45:32] with the staff that a president, Caleb Petrovsky Fleming, manager

[45:36] of budget and fiscal policy is here to answer any

[45:39] of the questions that are coming. So any questions on

[45:44] this particular long. Councillor Kretsch. Not specific questions. You want

[45:52] to thank staff for this. I know that it's been

[45:54] something that the all clubs are trying to work toward

[45:56] in terms of AOD accessibility. And so they've got a

[45:59] lot of work they've got to do there. It's on

[46:02] City property, but it's the building is known by the

[46:03] City, I think. I just wanted to confirm that one

[46:05] detail and confirm sort of how often we do these

[46:08] kinds of loans of the city. Thank you, Kayla. Good

[46:13] afternoon, Kayla Fleming Manager of Budgets and Fiscal Policy through

[46:16] the chair. These happen intermittently. So I think we probably

[46:21] see one every year, one every two years. Councillor. Thanks

[46:27] very much. And I don't think it's going to put

[46:28] the City in any kind of adverse position. It looks

[46:30] like it's going to be repaid back on the schedule.

[46:32] You've got there in the appendix. And just again, thankful

[46:34] for this going forward. I know that we have a

[46:37] large number of properties across the entire pier, waterfront area

[46:41] where there's various leases over many years. And a lot

[46:45] of the folks who were there entered into agreements with

[46:47] the City a long, long time ago. And have had

[46:50] some trouble as not - for - profits. Some of

[46:52] them trying to upkeep their property to maintain modern standards,

[46:57] especially AODA. So I'm grateful that we can try and

[46:59] assist in these ways. Any further questions. Seeing none, we'll

[47:07] have the vote on item 8. 1. This is an

[47:10] electronic vote, please. And to be clear for the record,

[47:19] Royal Hamilton Yacht Club did provide us with their audited

[47:22] financial statements that we're taken into consideration. And that vote

[47:27] carries 5 - 0. Thank you very much. We're now

[47:29] moving on to 8. 2 HSC - 22001C 2026 updates

[47:36] to the Emergency Plans Citywide. I need a mover and

[47:40] secondary to open Florida questions and to put the report

[47:42] on the floor, move by Councillor Nann, seconded by Councillor

[47:46] Wang. Thank you very much. Chief Cunleff is in attendance.

[47:49] Are there any questions for staff on this report? Councillor

[47:55] Nann, please. Thank you through you, Chair. Just wondering if

[47:59] we're public, we could get a high level overview on

[48:02] the updates to the emergency fund, just in light of,

[48:06] you know, recent weather alerts and all that stuff that

[48:09] we're experiencing might be valuable. Yeah, I was kind of

[48:12] wondering whether you arrange those weather alerts last night, chief.

[48:17] But so who wants to start? Maybe the chief and

[48:19] then we can go to the staff. So Dave Cunloff

[48:23] fire chief City Hamilton. Thank you Councillor for your question.

[48:27] Happy to give you an overview. So what's before you

[48:31] and being recommended is amended bylaw, uh, to replace the

[48:35] existing bylaw for the emergency plan. Uh, this is a

[48:38] requirement annually by the province of Ontario for compliance purposes

[48:43] to review the plan and make any revisions as necessary.

[48:47] Um, the revisions that we're making are housekeeping in nature

[48:50] and quite frankly have, um, been brought to our attention

[48:54] as we've worked through a number of activations over the

[48:57] last couple of years, more predominantly the most recent one

[49:01] with the cyber incident that lasted almost two years in

[49:03] terms of activation. And what it is, uh, it's reflecting

[49:06] changes to the current positions that we have, uh, in

[49:11] the, um, emergency operations centre, uh, it reflects the positions

[49:17] in terms of titles of those that will be holding

[49:19] those positions. And the titles of those positions. It also,

[49:23] uh, had some, um, housekeeping relative to, uh, activation levels

[49:28] that we have identified for various types of operations, uh,

[49:33] whether it be, um, online virtual or whether it be

[49:38] at a, at a level where all members of the

[49:40] emergency management team are then activated and how that takes

[49:44] place. And so in essence, that gives you a bit

[49:48] of an overview or oversight in terms of what's, what,

[49:50] uh, what the changes are. And as I said, housekeeping

[49:53] in nature. Councillor. I appreciate that chief. Thank you for

[49:58] the questions. Thank you very much. Any further questions. Seeing

[50:04] none, then I call the electronic vote, please.

[50:16] And that vote carried five zero. Thank you very much,

[50:19] Chief and your staff. Thank you for attending. Uh, item

[50:22] 8. 3 amendments to the outstanding business list. And I

[50:26] need to move in secondary to put the amendment on

[50:28] the floor. Move by Councilwang, seconded by Councillor Kretsch. And

[50:36] is that a hand vote? Electronic vote. Thank you very

[50:38] much. Let's call that one then.

[50:48] And that vote is carried. That carried 50. There are

[50:56] no motions. There are no notices of motion. Then the

[50:59] meeting is adjourned. Have a wonderful afternoon. Thank you very

[51:01] much.
