[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.
