There are 20 00:45:04,828 --> 00:45:07,668 no items for information today, so we're moving straight into 21 00:45:07,929 --> 00:45:13,508 items for consideration. Item 8. 1 FCS - 26061 Hamilton 22 00:45:14,329 --> 00:45:18,548 Royal Hamilton Yacht Club additional loan request before we begin 23 00:45:18,569 --> 00:45:20,948 the discussion. I'd like to have a mover in secondary 24 00:45:20,969 --> 00:45:25,348 to open the floor for questions, move by Councillor Kroch, 25 00:45:25,348 --> 00:45:32,195 seconded by Councillor N. Thank you very much. Let's start 26 00:45:32,216 --> 00:45:36,115 with the staff that a president, Caleb Petrovsky Fleming, manager 27 00:45:36,115 --> 00:45:39,875 of budget and fiscal policy is here to answer any 28 00:45:39,915 --> 00:45:43,967 of the questions that are coming. So any questions on 29 00:45:44,007 --> 00:45:52,840 this particular long. Councillor Kretsch. Not specific questions. You want 30 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,140 to thank staff for this. I know that it's been 31 00:45:54,180 --> 00:45:56,380 something that the all clubs are trying to work toward 32 00:45:56,380 --> 00:45:59,260 in terms of AOD accessibility. And so they've got a 33 00:45:59,260 --> 00:46:01,820 lot of work they've got to do there. It's on 34 00:46:02,001 --> 00:46:03,900 City property, but it's the building is known by the 35 00:46:03,921 --> 00:46:05,580 City, I think. I just wanted to confirm that one 36 00:46:05,601 --> 00:46:08,060 detail and confirm sort of how often we do these 37 00:46:08,060 --> 00:46:13,268 kinds of loans of the city. Thank you, Kayla. Good 38 00:46:13,308 --> 00:46:16,388 afternoon, Kayla Fleming Manager of Budgets and Fiscal Policy through 39 00:46:16,428 --> 00:46:21,428 the chair. These happen intermittently. So I think we probably 40 00:46:21,609 --> 00:46:27,085 see one every year, one every two years. Councillor. Thanks 41 00:46:27,125 --> 00:46:28,685 very much. And I don't think it's going to put 42 00:46:28,866 --> 00:46:30,845 the City in any kind of adverse position. It looks 43 00:46:30,845 --> 00:46:32,925 like it's going to be repaid back on the schedule. 44 00:46:32,925 --> 00:46:34,605 You've got there in the appendix. And just again, thankful 45 00:46:34,866 --> 00:46:37,325 for this going forward. I know that we have a 46 00:46:37,325 --> 00:46:41,805 large number of properties across the entire pier, waterfront area 47 00:46:41,986 --> 00:46:45,065 where there's various leases over many years. And a lot 48 00:46:45,065 --> 00:46:47,085 of the folks who were there entered into agreements with 49 00:46:47,085 --> 00:46:50,525 the City a long, long time ago. And have had 50 00:46:50,565 --> 00:46:52,805 some trouble as not - for - profits. Some of 51 00:46:52,805 --> 00:46:57,565 them trying to upkeep their property to maintain modern standards, 52 00:46:57,565 --> 00:46:59,325 especially AODA. So I'm grateful that we can try and 53 00:46:59,346 --> 00:47:07,320 assist in these ways. Any further questions. Seeing none, we'll 54 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,680 have the vote on item 8. 1. This is an 55 00:47:10,720 --> 00:47:19,143 electronic vote, please. And to be clear for the record, 56 00:47:19,324 --> 00:47:22,183 Royal Hamilton Yacht Club did provide us with their audited 57 00:47:22,204 --> 00:47:27,499 financial statements that we're taken into consideration. And that vote 58 00:47:27,539 --> 00:47:29,899 carries 5 - 0. Thank you very much. We're now 59 00:47:29,899 --> 00:47:36,139 moving on to 8. 2 HSC - 22001C 2026 updates 60 00:47:36,179 --> 00:47:40,219 to the Emergency Plans Citywide. I need a mover and 61 00:47:40,259 --> 00:47:42,539 secondary to open Florida questions and to put the report 62 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:46,219 on the floor, move by Councillor Nann, seconded by Councillor 63 00:47:46,259 --> 00:47:49,986 Wang. Thank you very much. Chief Cunleff is in attendance. 64 00:47:49,986 --> 00:47:55,741 Are there any questions for staff on this report? Councillor 65 00:47:55,741 --> 00:47:59,021 Nann, please. Thank you through you, Chair. Just wondering if 66 00:47:59,282 --> 00:48:02,301 we're public, we could get a high level overview on 67 00:48:02,341 --> 00:48:06,621 the updates to the emergency fund, just in light of, 68 00:48:06,621 --> 00:48:08,941 you know, recent weather alerts and all that stuff that 69 00:48:09,282 --> 00:48:12,821 we're experiencing might be valuable. Yeah, I was kind of 70 00:48:12,821 --> 00:48:17,501 wondering whether you arrange those weather alerts last night, chief. 71 00:48:17,501 --> 00:48:19,661 But so who wants to start? Maybe the chief and 72 00:48:19,661 --> 00:48:23,420 then we can go to the staff. So Dave Cunloff 73 00:48:23,460 --> 00:48:27,100 fire chief City Hamilton. Thank you Councillor for your question. 74 00:48:27,140 --> 00:48:30,940 Happy to give you an overview. So what's before you 75 00:48:31,361 --> 00:48:35,180 and being recommended is amended bylaw, uh, to replace the 76 00:48:35,441 --> 00:48:38,940 existing bylaw for the emergency plan. Uh, this is a 77 00:48:38,961 --> 00:48:42,860 requirement annually by the province of Ontario for compliance purposes 78 00:48:43,441 --> 00:48:47,420 to review the plan and make any revisions as necessary. 79 00:48:47,420 --> 00:48:50,380 Um, the revisions that we're making are housekeeping in nature 80 00:48:50,961 --> 00:48:54,460 and quite frankly have, um, been brought to our attention 81 00:48:54,641 --> 00:48:57,820 as we've worked through a number of activations over the 82 00:48:57,820 --> 00:49:01,020 last couple of years, more predominantly the most recent one 83 00:49:01,020 --> 00:49:03,260 with the cyber incident that lasted almost two years in 84 00:49:03,260 --> 00:49:06,380 terms of activation. And what it is, uh, it's reflecting 85 00:49:06,961 --> 00:49:11,900 changes to the current positions that we have, uh, in 86 00:49:11,921 --> 00:49:17,340 the, um, emergency operations centre, uh, it reflects the positions 87 00:49:17,441 --> 00:49:19,420 in terms of titles of those that will be holding 88 00:49:19,460 --> 00:49:23,660 those positions. And the titles of those positions. It also, 89 00:49:23,660 --> 00:49:28,460 uh, had some, um, housekeeping relative to, uh, activation levels 90 00:49:28,721 --> 00:49:32,920 that we have identified for various types of operations, uh, 91 00:49:33,121 --> 00:49:37,260 whether it be, um, online virtual or whether it be 92 00:49:38,081 --> 00:49:40,540 at a, at a level where all members of the 93 00:49:40,881 --> 00:49:44,700 emergency management team are then activated and how that takes 94 00:49:44,740 --> 00:49:48,140 place. And so in essence, that gives you a bit 95 00:49:48,180 --> 00:49:50,780 of an overview or oversight in terms of what's, what, 96 00:49:50,780 --> 00:49:53,900 uh, what the changes are. And as I said, housekeeping 97 00:49:53,940 --> 00:49:58,246 in nature. Councillor. I appreciate that chief. Thank you for 98 00:49:58,246 --> 00:50:04,456 the questions. Thank you very much. Any further questions. Seeing 99 00:50:04,496 --> 00:50:06,296 none, then I call the electronic vote, please. 100 00:50:16,434 --> 00:50:19,053 And that vote carried five zero. Thank you very much, 101 00:50:19,093 --> 00:50:22,573 Chief and your staff. Thank you for attending. Uh, item 102 00:50:22,594 --> 00:50:26,573 8. 3 amendments to the outstanding business list. And I 103 00:50:26,613 --> 00:50:28,333 need to move in secondary to put the amendment on 104 00:50:28,333 --> 00:50:36,054 the floor. Move by Councilwang, seconded by Councillor Kretsch. And 105 00:50:36,155 --> 00:50:38,694 is that a hand vote? Electronic vote. Thank you very 106 00:50:38,734 --> 00:50:41,654 much. Let's call that one then. 107 00:50:48,695 --> 00:50:56,341 And that vote is carried. That carried 50. There are 108 00:50:56,341 --> 00:50:59,301 no motions. There are no notices of motion. Then the 109 00:50:59,301 --> 00:51:01,461 meeting is adjourned. Have a wonderful afternoon. Thank you very 110 00:51:01,461 --> 00:51:01,541 much.
