Um this is the area 258 00:10:44,959 --> 00:10:50,720 that we are are doing at this time. Um 259 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:53,680 we just opened uh we're just getting we 260 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:56,480 just started open in July uh at Bigger. 261 00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:58,720 We opened a home on a farm uh bigger 262 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:01,120 which is so exciting.

So we're 270 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,760 right in the middle of transitions. Very 271 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:20,640 busy time uh but also really exciting. 272 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:23,360 We have about six of the 10 uh that are 273 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,480 moved in already. So this is a little 274 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,399 picture of our bigger location. As we 275 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,000 learned from the original Aberdine 276 00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:32,240 location, you figure out, oh, what's a 277 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,320 style house we like? So we changed that 278 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,480 a bit. We've changed the work building 279 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,720 and our barn's going to start in about 3 280 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,399 weeks being built so we can get that 281 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,000 going so we can get some animals in 282 00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:43,839 there. 283 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,200 Uh that's the one side of the house. 284 00:11:43,839 --> 00:11:48,640 That was the first day that people 285 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:50,720 stayed for the night. 286 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,839 Uh, and this is the home at Aberdeene or 287 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:56,240 the homes. Um, so our the barn was built 288 00:11:53,839 --> 00:11:58,240 by the progress club. They donated 289 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,880 150,000 over six years and that's how we 290 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,959 built the barn. Um, we get we're funded 291 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,959 by the ministry of of Saskatchewan 292 00:12:02,959 --> 00:12:07,200 through CLSD, the community living 293 00:12:04,959 --> 00:12:09,360 division. Uh, same as what Futuristic 294 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,720 would be here. And uh, so that's where 295 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,000 we get our funding for, but of course 296 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,519 you're not funded for the full 297 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,440 everything for the barn and the tractor 298 00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:17,440 and the vehicles. So that's where a lot 299 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,600 of our fundraising goes towards those 300 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,519 those items. 301 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:24,160 Uh so I talked a little bit about this 302 00:12:21,519 --> 00:12:25,760 already. I did I jumped ahead on my my 303 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,200 slide, but that's kind of what I do 304 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,200 sometimes when I start talking and I'm 305 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,360 excited about something. 306 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,760 Uh so our main three objectives are to 307 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,920 have a safe and loving home, a 308 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,839 meaningful meaningful productive work, 309 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,920 and an active social life. And I always 310 00:12:37,839 --> 00:12:42,240 joke around that their social life's way 311 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:44,079 better than mine. That is for sure. they 312 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,920 are always out and about doing something 313 00:12:44,079 --> 00:12:47,760 and having a good time in the community. 314 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,440 That's a big thing is being a part of 315 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:52,399 the community of bigger or being a 316 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,160 community of Aberdine. Um and Saskatoon 317 00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:57,600 has become kind of because Aberdine is a 318 00:12:54,160 --> 00:13:00,880 smaller community. Um Saskatoon is also 319 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,320 quite quite invested with us. 320 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,959 So we do lots of different social 321 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:07,760 skills, life skills, learning together. 322 00:13:04,959 --> 00:13:10,399 Uh it's one big family, you know, even 323 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,959 between the two the two locations we we 324 00:13:10,399 --> 00:13:15,440 share staff. I got staff that go to uh 325 00:13:12,959 --> 00:13:18,000 bigger to help work on that process of 326 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:20,880 the transition so that it runs smoothly 327 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:24,000 and effectively as possible. 328 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:27,040 Um residents learn different skills uh 329 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,959 each day. Uh so if it's in their garden, 330 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,959 I didn't know you could grow gardens on 331 00:13:28,959 --> 00:13:33,600 a thing like that. Did you know that? I 332 00:13:30,959 --> 00:13:35,360 don't know. That's not my area. But they 333 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,600 do great things. They grow these huge 334 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:40,320 pumpkins. Um, and if there's stuff that 335 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,720 we can't eat or we don't we've, you 336 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,720 know, canned enough pickles to sell to 337 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,040 people, we will give back to the food 338 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,560 bank to or to like uh Saskatoon to the 339 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,000 soup kitchen or that kind of thing in 340 00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:52,639 our way to give back to the community 341 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,720 that gives to us. 342 00:13:52,639 --> 00:13:55,920 Uh, we like to uh do lots of different 343 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,680 things. So, you can see one the 344 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,360 gentleman there, his name is Noah. We 345 00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:01,120 try to get them involved. So, he's 346 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,279 greasing the tractor. You know, things 347 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,399 that they can all do. There's always 348 00:14:03,279 --> 00:14:06,079 something that we could do. Our 349 00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:07,600 greenhouse program, I'd say, is our best 350 00:14:06,079 --> 00:14:09,680 for that because everybody can do 351 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:12,079 something. They can fill the pots, they 352 00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:14,800 can water, they can plant. Um, and it's 353 00:14:12,079 --> 00:14:16,399 our our best uh way to get involved in 354 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,560 the community as well. We do all the 355 00:14:16,399 --> 00:14:19,920 flowers for the town of Aberdine. We're 356 00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:22,560 hoping to do some of that with the town 357 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:25,680 of Baker as well. 358 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:28,240 We love our animals. Uh we have kind of 359 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:32,000 like an alpaca. 360 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:34,240 We have a miniature horse, Elvin the 361 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,480 sheep. We got like one of each almost 362 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,240 like in Noah's arc but not quite. Uh we 363 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,160 got some little rabbits, everything like 364 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,399 that. So it gives them meaning every day 365 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,480 to get up, go to go check on the 366 00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:46,079 animals, see how they're doing, you 367 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,000 know, pick pick the eggs from the 368 00:14:46,079 --> 00:14:49,839 chickens and they get all excited to see 369 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,199 how many are there that day. So it's 370 00:14:49,839 --> 00:14:52,720 bringing those kind of things. That's 371 00:14:51,199 --> 00:14:54,079 what we get up for every day. Everybody 372 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,079 needs something to get up for and 373 00:14:54,079 --> 00:14:57,920 something to do. And Saskatchewan's a 374 00:14:56,079 --> 00:14:59,519 real province, and I think it's a really 375 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:04,000 big part of it. A lot of individuals 376 00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:06,160 grow up um you know in a small town or 377 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,560 you know they or they need a smaller 378 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:11,040 quiet environment. This provides that 379 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:13,199 for them. We now have people coming from 380 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,120 um our our bigger location. I think our 381 00:15:13,199 --> 00:15:16,959 furthest away is like 4 hours. The 382 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,120 family is just like no this he grew up 383 00:15:16,959 --> 00:15:20,480 on a farm. He used to live on a farm. 384 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,480 We're not going to be there forever. And 385 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:25,440 they've moved him there because that's 386 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:27,519 what he knows. 387 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:30,399 Again active social life.

Uh we're also 393 00:15:39,839 --> 00:15:44,639 seeing a lot of combinations of mental 394 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:47,279 health and disability. Uh that's changed 395 00:15:44,639 --> 00:15:51,360 um over time. Uh we have a wide wide 396 00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:52,800 range of abilities.

What works 399 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:59,120 best for this individual? that we're 400 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,800 supporting 401 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,880 um program successes, increased 402 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:05,519 confidence, improved well-being, sense 403 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:07,920 of pride, um you know, health 404 00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:10,720 improvements. We've seen people who have 405 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,160 lost 100 pounds coming because they were 406 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,320 had something to do and they were busy 407 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,720 just just going for walks and being 408 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:20,800 active on the farm and gardening. Um 409 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:22,639 we've seen huge huge uh successes and 410 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,959 safety for individuals. We have an 411 00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:26,639 individual who who if they were in town 412 00:16:24,959 --> 00:16:28,160 but say they they they can cover little 413 00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:30,160 trips but to live would be very 414 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,759 dangerous for them just for the safety 415 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,079 of the traffic and things like that. So 416 00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:36,560 the farm gives a different aspect of 417 00:16:34,079 --> 00:16:39,759 life for them and safety. 418 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:41,519 Um why oh yeah that's that's perfect. 419 00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:44,800 Yes. 420 00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:47,440 Um so mix like I said with CLSD funding 421 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:50,639 and nonprofit uh we do lots of you know 422 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:53,199 fundraising efforts. um are between our 423 00:16:50,639 --> 00:16:56,880 two uh locations, we're at about 3.1 424 00:16:53,199 --> 00:17:00,720 million in funding um annually and in 425 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:02,399 our operating um we employ 40 staff at 426 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,400 Aberdine currently.

We're pretty close to 429 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:11,120 them and uh bigger right now sitting at 430 00:17:08,799 --> 00:17:13,199 about 15 which will increase as as time 431 00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:16,640 goes on. So probably be hitting the 20 432 00:17:13,199 --> 00:17:18,720 to 25 mark in time.

Uh, they have to have an 438 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,880 assessment. Um, if they want to live in 439 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,240 a group home, they have to be assessed 440 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,000 at a level three. I'm not sure if some 441 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,080 of you are familiar with this. So, these 442 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,640 are just all the different criteria.

So, our current situation, the 971 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:54,560 plan of proposed subdivision provides 972 00:39:52,079 --> 00:39:56,320 for the subdivision of parcel S and the 973 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,880 consolidation of a portion of the 974 00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:01,200 adjacent 12th Avenue rightway. Um this 975 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:03,040 is outside of the existing rightway for 976 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:06,320 the road. This is another little chunk 977 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:09,200 that was uh allocated on the property 978 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:12,160 line. Um the subdivision creates two 979 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:14,320 parcels identified as parcel AA and BB 980 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:17,440 with areas of approximately 1.1 acres 981 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:19,040 and 0.99 acres respectively. The 982 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,359 existing municipal rightaway adjacent to 983 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,880 the parcel is currently 7 m in width. Uh 984 00:40:21,359 --> 00:40:25,119 the proposal will reduce the width of 985 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:27,680 the rightway to 4.5 meters and 986 00:40:25,119 --> 00:40:30,320 consolidate the remaining 2.5 meter wide 987 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:32,880 strip into parcel S. The retained 4.5 988 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,720 meter corridor corridor will remain 989 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,320 under municipal ownership while surplus 990 00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:39,920 lands will be absorbed into the adjacent 991 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:42,800 parcel. Um this will have no impact on 992 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:45,280 the current use in that area and will 993 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:48,160 have very little impact in the future. 994 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:50,560 So I can take any questions on this 995 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:52,400 bylaw if you would like. Okay, we need a 996 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,960 mover and a secondary to accept that 997 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:57,599 report for information and file. 998 00:40:54,960 --> 00:41:00,599 Councelor Jorgensson, councelor Row, any 999 00:40:57,599 --> 00:41:00,599 question? 1000 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:06,960 » Um, is there's a walk trail there, 1001 00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:09,040 right?

I thought I thought it was farther 1004 00:41:11,839 --> 00:41:17,359 away from the roadway and up against 1005 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:18,960 that border there, but Okay, perfect. 1006 00:41:17,359 --> 00:41:20,960 Any 1007 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:25,359 other questions? 1008 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:27,520 All in favor?

Councelor Scott seconded by 1028 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:31,119 councelor Row. 1029 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,480 any discussion on that or go ahead with 1030 00:42:31,119 --> 00:42:33,359 your report first and then we'll have 1031 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,359 discussion after. 1032 00:42:33,359 --> 00:42:37,359 » Thank you. Um so yeah so the reports 1033 00:42:35,359 --> 00:42:40,319 before you uh we had brought this report 1034 00:42:37,359 --> 00:42:42,800 or this pilot policy back in June uh and 1035 00:42:40,319 --> 00:42:45,920 made some larger changes uh including 1036 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:47,440 rates for 27 28 and 29. Uh as we went to 1037 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,920 implement some of the rates into our 1038 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:54,560 booking system, uh it became clear that 1039 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:56,640 uh due to how PST and GST are um treated 1040 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:58,640 across the different drop in versus 1041 00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:01,920 leisure pass, uh it actually threw our 1042 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:04,079 numbers out of whack. Um so we reviewed 1043 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:06,160 those. Um the proposed pricing model 1044 00:43:04,079 --> 00:43:08,720 that we had had originally presented in 1045 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:10,400 June um is still intact. The primary 1046 00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:12,400 objectives are still intact. Uh one was 1047 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,760 to reduce individual drop-in admission 1048 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,920 rates to improve affordability, 1049 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:18,000 encourage casual participation uh as 1050 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,520 well as to align our leader passes um 1051 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,119 with other communities um by 1052 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,440 transitioning from a previous pricing 1053 00:43:21,119 --> 00:43:25,119 model uh of five times the equivalent 1054 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:27,920 drop in rate to six times the equivalent 1055 00:43:25,119 --> 00:43:31,839 drop in rate. Uh so we we sought to keep 1056 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:33,839 those um priorities intact um with the 1057 00:43:31,839 --> 00:43:36,480 slight changes that we're proposing here 1058 00:43:33,839 --> 00:43:38,800 tonight. Uh also through our review, um 1059 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:40,560 we decided to change to propose some 1060 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,920 revisions to the value offered to 1061 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:44,079 residents who are making longer 1062 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,920 commitments in leisure passes. Um so our 1063 00:43:44,079 --> 00:43:48,319 six-month leisure pass would move from 1064 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:50,800 approximately five times five sorry five 1065 00:43:48,319 --> 00:43:52,160 and a half times the monthly pass rate 1066 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,319 to five times. So instead of getting 1067 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,839 half a month for free when you bought a 1068 00:43:54,319 --> 00:43:57,599 six-month pass, you get you'll get a 1069 00:43:55,839 --> 00:44:00,480 full month for free. uh as well as the 1070 00:43:57,599 --> 00:44:02,560 12-month pass would go from um receiving 1071 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:04,240 two months free, the 12-month pass to 1072 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:06,560 three months for free of the 12-month 1073 00:44:04,240 --> 00:44:09,280 pass. So, um essentially trying to 1074 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:11,119 ensure that we're not pushing the casual 1075 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,960 users out um but also not wanting to 1076 00:44:11,119 --> 00:44:15,440 penalize those who are are committed to 1077 00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:17,440 to our long-term leisure passes. So, uh 1078 00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:19,680 we apologize for the error uh in the 1079 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:22,000 first um rendition of this report back 1080 00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:24,000 in June. Um but we hope we've uh we're 1081 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,160 confident we've corrected the that error 1082 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,040 this time around. We have any questions? 1083 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:30,079 doesn't have to answer. 1084 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,240 » Okay. Questions for the director. 1085 00:44:30,079 --> 00:44:31,839 I 1086 00:44:30,240 --> 00:44:32,720 » Think we had some good disc Oh, go 1087 00:44:31,839 --> 00:44:34,240 ahead. Yeah. 1088 00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:36,160 » That was the only change. Was there a 1089 00:44:34,240 --> 00:44:38,640 change about that? Uh 1090 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:40,720 » The uh like if someone wants to run to 1091 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:42,560 the Labor Day, what's uh 1092 00:44:40,720 --> 00:44:44,400 » Right now? Yes. Yeah. Sorry, I I 1093 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:47,440 apologize for not highlighting that. 1094 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:49,520 » Um yes, we did um we introduced uh the 1095 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:51,920 stat statuto 1096 00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:54,800 statutory holiday uh rental search 1097 00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:56,560 charge um previously. uh currently or in 1098 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:59,200 the past the the aquatic center was 1099 00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:01,040 charging that time and a half. Um we we 1100 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:03,280 sought to bring that across the board. 1101 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:05,599 Um again while we were going through 1102 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:07,119 some of the actual rental cases uh we 1103 00:45:05,599 --> 00:45:10,720 realized that in some cases it was 1104 00:45:07,119 --> 00:45:13,040 extremely um undefensible. Why would we 1105 00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:15,200 would charge that much more uh for a 1106 00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,720 rental? Um, so we have uh and pro 1107 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:18,560 proposed that instead of just going 1108 00:45:16,720 --> 00:45:20,000 instead of one and a half times uh that 1109 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,280 the search charge would just be a $50 1110 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,960 per hour search charge and that would 1111 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,560 cover all administrative costs and that 1112 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,920 would be straight across the board. So 1113 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,040 that worked out better than the time and 1114 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,200 a half. 1115 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:33,520 » So I guess the question was uh thank you 1116 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:35,599 for that. um if the life of this policy 1117 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:37,440 is quite long, I think the last one was 1118 00:45:35,599 --> 00:45:40,319 something like 9 years, right? The 1119 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:43,119 inflationary costs on labor and so on, 1120 00:45:40,319 --> 00:45:44,720 right? Uh eventually maybe we're not in 1121 00:45:43,119 --> 00:45:46,480 cost recovery anymore. So I guess that 1122 00:45:44,720 --> 00:45:48,480 was just the only concern I might have 1123 00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:50,800 if maybe we need to do the policy 1124 00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,920 refreshed more often so we don't run 1125 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,839 into that situation. 1126 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:57,280 » Yeah. So what we did we we've set rates 1127 00:45:53,839 --> 00:45:59,200 for now for 27, 28, and 29. Um we'll 1128 00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,880 look to bring this policy back annually. 1129 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:03,440 So then we'll review. So even the rates 1130 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:06,560 that were set for 28 and 29, if we find 1131 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:07,599 that um inflation, other cost drivers 1132 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,760 are going to impact that, we'll make 1133 00:46:07,599 --> 00:46:10,880 sure we bring it back again in 27 so we 1134 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,400 can review and make sure those are still 1135 00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,839 good and then add the next year and 1136 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,079 hopefully just continue to snowball that 1137 00:46:13,839 --> 00:46:15,520 way. 1138 00:46:14,079 --> 00:46:18,960 » Excellent.

Uh the RFP 1171 00:47:40,720 --> 00:47:44,720 was issued on July 15th um with 1172 00:47:43,119 --> 00:47:46,800 proposals required to be submitted by 1173 00:47:44,720 --> 00:47:49,200 August 5th. Uh we received five 1174 00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:51,599 proposals uh for this project. The 1175 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:53,200 project will essentially integrate urban 1176 00:47:51,599 --> 00:47:55,119 forestry planning, asset management, 1177 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:57,359 climate resilience, policy development, 1178 00:47:55,119 --> 00:47:59,119 and community engagement uh into what 1179 00:47:57,359 --> 00:48:01,200 will be our leading action document 1180 00:47:59,119 --> 00:48:03,359 moving forward with our urban forestry. 1181 00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:06,319 Um currently we have an urban forestry 1182 00:48:03,359 --> 00:48:08,240 bylaw. We have some policies. Um we do 1183 00:48:06,319 --> 00:48:10,160 some internal work within our urban 1184 00:48:08,240 --> 00:48:12,000 forestry. We contract a lot of work out, 1185 00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:14,000 but we really don't have a cohesive 1186 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:16,000 action plan to drive that strategy 1187 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,599 forward. Um, and we've been struggling 1188 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,520 with trying to do that inhouse over the 1189 00:48:17,599 --> 00:48:21,680 last couple years. So, when this uh 1190 00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:24,000 opportunity came up to to apply for 1191 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:27,119 funding through um the green municipal 1192 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:30,160 fund, uh we took advantage of that 1193 00:48:27,119 --> 00:48:32,400 um and we're very happy uh that we got 1194 00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:35,520 were successful with that grant. Uh it's 1195 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:38,559 a 90% covered by the grant program. So 1196 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:40,800 the other 10% is is our cost and that 1197 00:48:38,559 --> 00:48:42,559 10% can be in staffing time. Uh we 1198 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:45,680 anticipate there will be some staffing 1199 00:48:42,559 --> 00:48:47,599 time between myself uh other staff um 1200 00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:50,400 providing some direction uh as well as 1201 00:48:47,599 --> 00:48:52,640 our park supervisor. Um so there will be 1202 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:54,400 no additional costs to the city. Uh it 1203 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:57,760 will just be reallocating some staffing 1204 00:48:54,400 --> 00:49:00,000 time as needed. Uh the project is over a 1205 00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,680 2-year period. So it's not that it's not 1206 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,280 just uh in a short window. It'll 1207 00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:06,800 actually be spread out over a couple 1208 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:09,280 years. um May of 2028 I believe is when 1209 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:11,839 the the time frame is. Um back to the 1210 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:14,319 RFP, we had five successful um 1211 00:49:11,839 --> 00:49:17,119 applicants that met the criteria. Uh so 1212 00:49:14,319 --> 00:49:20,079 those were all evaluated um because it 1213 00:49:17,119 --> 00:49:23,839 was a set grant funding amount. Um we 1214 00:49:20,079 --> 00:49:26,720 did not base our um we didn't we didn't 1215 00:49:23,839 --> 00:49:28,960 base the scoring on the value of the 1216 00:49:26,720 --> 00:49:31,040 contract cuz the contract was valued um 1217 00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:33,359 at what it was and each proponent had to 1218 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:34,720 basically sell themselves as to why they 1219 00:49:33,359 --> 00:49:37,680 were the best and could bring the 1220 00:49:34,720 --> 00:49:40,880 greatest value uh for that fund. Uh in 1221 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:42,319 the end green drop tree care um was uh 1222 00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:44,559 valued at the highest was scored the 1223 00:49:42,319 --> 00:49:46,079 highest uh and are being asked to award 1224 00:49:44,559 --> 00:49:48,079 this.

Uh and 1231 00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:03,760 they are a prairie country or prairie 1232 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:06,240 company. So they have uh an off head 1233 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,760 office in Reginaina.

Um our original projections 1461 00:59:39,839 --> 00:59:44,160 um back in the 20 uh in the fall when we 1462 00:59:41,839 --> 00:59:46,400 were developing the 2026 budget were 1463 00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:48,079 based on estimates uh that our 1464 00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:49,760 consultant the same consultant had done 1465 00:59:48,079 --> 00:59:52,799 when they did our full roof review of 1466 00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:54,799 the community um back in the in June of 1467 00:59:52,799 --> 00:59:58,319 2025. 1468 00:59:54,799 --> 01:00:01,440 So we had budget 333,300 for the uniplex 1469 00:59:58,319 --> 01:00:04,240 sections uh 4, five and 6 as well as the 1470 01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:07,280 museum uh had a budget of 140,000. So, 1471 01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:09,920 combined we had 473,300 1472 01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:11,599 um budgeted for roof replacements. 1473 01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:15,280 Uh as you'll notice in the implications 1474 01:00:11,599 --> 01:00:16,960 chart, um roof 15 of the Uniplex uh did 1475 01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:18,960 not have an approved budget. This was an 1476 01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:21,280 additional roof that we added after the 1477 01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:23,599 fact um due to safety concerns. Uh this 1478 01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:26,400 is the roof on the south entrance of the 1479 01:00:23,599 --> 01:00:28,960 arena. Um we're having we this this roof 1480 01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:31,280 was had some replacement work done back 1481 01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:33,200 uh I would say about 8 years ago. Um but 1482 01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:34,720 what we find what we're finding is that 1483 01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:35,839 there's not enough grip on the roof and 1484 01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:37,280 what we're getting is we're getting snow 1485 01:00:35,839 --> 01:00:40,160 load up there and then as soon as we get 1486 01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:42,480 melt thaw um that snow load's coming off 1487 01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:44,400 uh and we're and it's dropping large 1488 01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:46,960 large chunks of snow in front. Um we 1489 01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:49,119 tried some other um methods to try and 1490 01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:50,880 prevent that and weren't successful. Um 1491 01:00:49,119 --> 01:00:52,559 so we were recommended that we should go 1492 01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:54,319 this route and and provide a different 1493 01:00:52,559 --> 01:00:55,599 roofing system to ensure that the the 1494 01:00:54,319 --> 01:00:57,119 safety of both the workers in the 1495 01:00:55,599 --> 01:00:58,720 compound and those entering the south 1496 01:00:57,119 --> 01:01:01,280 arena um we don't have that issue 1497 01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:03,920 anymore. So um that's why that was added 1498 01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:06,720 in uh as an addition to the previously 1499 01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:11,359 planned project work. Uh in total uh the 1500 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:13,680 difference including PST uh is a 295,710 1501 01:01:11,359 --> 01:01:15,200 above what was budgeted. 1502 01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:17,200 Um 1503 01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:19,520 the plan for the initial funding 1504 01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:21,599 approved in 2026 was to come out of the 1505 01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:25,440 building refurbishment and replacement 1506 01:01:21,599 --> 01:01:28,160 reserve. Uh the initial plan for 2026 1507 01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:30,799 was uh that the city would contribute 1508 01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:33,760 taxation would contribute $525,000 into 1509 01:01:30,799 --> 01:01:35,040 this reserve uh with the draw 473 which 1510 01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:38,319 would have been a net contribution of 1511 01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:39,680 53,000 52,000 to the reserve. Uh however 1512 01:01:38,319 --> 01:01:41,280 due to the results of this tender 1513 01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:44,240 administration is now requesting that 1514 01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:47,599 council approve a net draw in 2026 of 1515 01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:49,760 244,000 from the reserve. Uh this would 1516 01:01:47,599 --> 01:01:52,000 provide a projected update year-end 1517 01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:54,640 balance of the reserve still sitting at 1518 01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:56,640 2 point or sorry 1.26 million would 1519 01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:58,559 still be in the reserve. So um this 1520 01:01:56,640 --> 01:02:00,000 wouldn't impact the current taxation 1521 01:01:58,559 --> 01:02:01,680 year. It wouldn't impact other projects 1522 01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:04,079 we have going on. It would just mean a 1523 01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:06,559 larger draw from reserves than otherwise 1524 01:02:04,079 --> 01:02:08,960 had been planned for this year. Um the 1525 01:02:06,559 --> 01:02:12,000 city uh through council has approved 1526 01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:14,240 budgets uh contributions to this reserve 1527 01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:16,960 uh of 500,000 each of the last two years 1528 01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:18,240 plus another 525. So um that funding has 1529 01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:22,000 been approved into the budget to 1530 01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:24,240 continue um to do this kind of projects. 1531 01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:27,760 Um furthermore uh as mentioned in the 1532 01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:29,920 third request uh we're asking that we 1533 01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:33,040 had that administration be authorized to 1534 01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:35,119 discuss with this um roofing company to 1535 01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:36,559 look at city hall roof. Uh as we're 1536 01:02:35,119 --> 01:02:38,079 aware that roof has deteriorated 1537 01:02:36,559 --> 01:02:41,200 significantly over the last year since 1538 01:02:38,079 --> 01:02:42,799 our budget was set. Um, and we're going 1539 01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:45,520 to we would like uh permission to just 1540 01:02:42,799 --> 01:02:46,960 go to the to Apex um roofing and and be 1541 01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,559 able to negotiate to see what kind of a 1542 01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:50,319 dollar price we can get to get this roof 1543 01:02:48,559 --> 01:02:52,160 done. Um, if we weren't to do it this 1544 01:02:50,319 --> 01:02:53,839 year, it's the highest priority to get 1545 01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:55,200 done next year. Uh, and because it would 1546 01:02:53,839 --> 01:02:56,799 also be funded from the same reserve 1547 01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:58,640 that would fund it next year. If we feel 1548 01:02:56,799 --> 01:03:00,480 that we can get value in having them 1549 01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:02,079 here and get a deal to get this done 1550 01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:03,839 this year, we would highly recommend we 1551 01:03:02,079 --> 01:03:06,799 move forward with this and not risk 1552 01:03:03,839 --> 01:03:09,040 another freeze thaw cycle on this roof. 1553 01:03:06,799 --> 01:03:10,400 Um, so in conclusion, I know that's a 1554 01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,920 lot. I apologize, but I want to make 1555 01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:13,359 sure I was thorough. Having not given 1556 01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:15,440 you a lot of time to see the report in 1557 01:03:13,359 --> 01:03:17,680 advance. Um, while the tenor costs 1558 01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:18,799 obviously exceed our 2026 budget, um, we 1559 01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:20,720 recommend moving forward with the 1560 01:03:18,799 --> 01:03:22,160 proposed roof replacements. Uh, the 1561 01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:23,680 existing roof conditions have been 1562 01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:25,520 identified through our previous 1563 01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:27,520 assessments and can and and we're seeing 1564 01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:29,119 some continual deterioration. This past 1565 01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,559 winter was extremely hard on our 1566 01:03:29,119 --> 01:03:34,319 facilities as we did have multiple 1567 01:03:30,559 --> 01:03:36,079 freeze thaw cycles. Um, and we also do 1568 01:03:34,319 --> 01:03:37,280 not see any evidence to suggest that the 1569 01:03:36,079 --> 01:03:39,520 price is going to automatically come 1570 01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:41,359 down in the spring. If if we knew that 1571 01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:42,799 there was some factor that automatically 1572 01:03:41,359 --> 01:03:44,799 we were going to see a 30 or 40% 1573 01:03:42,799 --> 01:03:46,880 reduction, maybe we could try and come 1574 01:03:44,799 --> 01:03:49,920 up with a stop gap to get us through to 1575 01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:51,680 next year. Um, not seeing that, um, we 1576 01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:54,319 believe that and with having sufficient 1577 01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:56,799 funds in that reserve right now, um, we 1578 01:03:54,319 --> 01:03:59,440 think it's, um, more prudent of us to 1579 01:03:56,799 --> 01:04:00,720 proceed with these, um, projects this 1580 01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:02,480 year. 1581 01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:02,960 I'm happy to answer any questions at 1582 01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:05,599 this point. 1583 01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:09,920 » Questions? 1584 01:04:05,599 --> 01:04:12,319 I Yes, I have a couple. Um, 1585 01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:15,119 I guess because we didn't have uh a lot 1586 01:04:12,319 --> 01:04:16,799 of uh time ahead of time to do any re 1587 01:04:15,119 --> 01:04:19,520 research on here. I I just had a 1588 01:04:16,799 --> 01:04:21,920 question on the Duply modified bitus 1589 01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:24,319 roofing system. I am assuming that's tar 1590 01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:27,520 and gravel. Is that basically the 1591 01:04:24,319 --> 01:04:30,720 layman's terms on that? Okay. Um, so 1592 01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:33,760 that's going over top. Like I know some 1593 01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:35,839 of the roofs were spray foam. Does that 1594 01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:37,839 go on top of the spray foam? Does the 1595 01:04:35,839 --> 01:04:39,680 spray foam get removed? 1596 01:04:37,839 --> 01:04:41,440 » Correct. It would Yeah. So the plan 1597 01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:44,160 would be to remove the existing roofing 1598 01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:45,599 and build and and replace it. 1599 01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:48,000 » So it wouldn't just be covering over 1600 01:04:45,599 --> 01:04:50,319 what's there. Um, part of the issue with 1601 01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:52,720 the spray foam roofing um has been 1602 01:04:50,319 --> 01:04:54,319 identified. Someone made a lot of money 1603 01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:56,400 going around and recommending that to 1604 01:04:54,319 --> 01:04:58,400 everyone, but what they've found is that 1605 01:04:56,400 --> 01:05:00,160 it once moisture gets in, it traps 1606 01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:02,240 moisture and causes more damage and the 1607 01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:04,799 life of that roofing system is is 1608 01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:07,760 diminished significantly. Okay. Um we 1609 01:05:04,799 --> 01:05:09,680 did note um through the recommendation I 1610 01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:11,760 should know this start um we're asking 1611 01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:13,680 administration to allow us to negotiate 1612 01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:16,400 a contract. So we've got the tender 1613 01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:17,839 results here. Um we have uh informed our 1614 01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:19,359 consultant that we want to make we want 1615 01:05:17,839 --> 01:05:21,520 to have the discussions with the roofer 1616 01:05:19,359 --> 01:05:23,119 to see if there is any room to bring 1617 01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:25,119 that price down if there is any 1618 01:05:23,119 --> 01:05:27,760 modifications to the scope modifications 1619 01:05:25,119 --> 01:05:30,319 to um the products being used have that 1620 01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:31,760 discussion. So um we're hoping that we 1621 01:05:30,319 --> 01:05:33,440 can have a little bit of discussion to 1622 01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:35,200 see if they have any recommendations on 1623 01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:38,400 how to kind of bring the price down too. 1624 01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:40,559 Um but yes it would be removing that 1625 01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:43,680 removing what's there and replacing it. 1626 01:05:40,559 --> 01:05:45,440 » Okay. Now my second question on that is 1627 01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:48,640 what does that do to the R value of the 1628 01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:50,559 roof like for energy loss that type of 1629 01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:51,359 thing. Have we explored any of that? I 1630 01:05:50,559 --> 01:05:52,880 know that 1631 01:05:51,359 --> 01:05:55,839 » One of the selling points of the spray 1632 01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:58,319 foam back in the day was uh increases uh 1633 01:05:55,839 --> 01:06:01,359 your R value of your roof and hopefully 1634 01:05:58,319 --> 01:06:02,319 get you some better uh or less heat 1635 01:06:01,359 --> 01:06:04,720 used. I guess 1636 01:06:02,319 --> 01:06:06,880 » To my to my knowledge and in discussions 1637 01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:09,119 with our consultant this is the 1638 01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:10,559 standard. So this is what people are 1639 01:06:09,119 --> 01:06:12,960 putting on now. this is what should have 1640 01:06:10,559 --> 01:06:15,680 been put on initially uh according to 1641 01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:17,280 them. So I don't I would imagine that it 1642 01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:19,039 probably has similar R value that it 1643 01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:21,280 can't be I can't imagine they'd be going 1644 01:06:19,039 --> 01:06:23,440 the opposite direction of of what is 1645 01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:24,480 there now but I can definitely clarify 1646 01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:25,440 that with the consultant and 1647 01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:26,880 » That' be interesting 1648 01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:27,280 » And pick his brain on that too. Yeah. 1649 01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:28,480 » Okay. 1650 01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:31,119 » Just to clarify. 1651 01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:33,520 » Any other further questions? 1652 01:06:31,119 --> 01:06:35,359 Okay. We have a motion and a seconder. 1653 01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:37,280 So I will call the question. All in 1654 01:06:35,359 --> 01:06:40,079 favor 1655 01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:42,559 that carries. Thank you. Uh, is that a 1656 01:06:40,079 --> 01:06:44,640 this year project then? 1657 01:06:42,559 --> 01:06:46,160 » Yes. Uh, we'll begin negotiations right 1658 01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:47,839 away on getting a contract figured out. 1659 01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:49,920 We hope they'll roll into town on by 1660 01:06:47,839 --> 01:06:51,760 October 1st. Uh, it was their estimated 1661 01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:53,680 start date and they should be done both 1662 01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:54,559 sections of the roof by November 30th. 1663 01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:56,960 » Okay. So, yeah. 1664 01:06:54,559 --> 01:06:58,000 » What about uh winter or setting in? Is 1665 01:06:56,960 --> 01:06:59,760 that going to be an issue? 1666 01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:01,760 » They'll they'll have they've built that 1667 01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:03,280 into their pricing as far as tarping and 1668 01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:05,200 and making sure that whatever they need 1669 01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:06,480 to do on the roofs. Yeah. So, 1670 01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:06,799 » Hoarding and heating or whatever they 1671 01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:08,160 need 1672 01:07:06,799 --> 01:07:11,039 » Whatever they need to do that. You 1673 01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:13,680 betcha. Good. Okay. 1674 01:07:11,039 --> 01:07:15,760 Thank you. Uh we're on to uh item number 1675 01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:18,559 11, inquiries. 1676 01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:19,680 Uh any inquiries for staff? Go ahead, 1677 01:07:18,559 --> 01:07:21,520 councelor. I'll start over here. 1678 01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:25,039 Councelor McGinness. 1679 01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:27,839 » Um I have an inquiry inquiry about uh 1680 01:07:25,039 --> 01:07:29,680 Bill Bre park. So I have been uh sorry, 1681 01:07:27,839 --> 01:07:32,319 I have been communicating uh with the 1682 01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:34,079 director um about Bill Breck Park as 1683 01:07:32,319 --> 01:07:37,119 well as with the members of the park 1684 01:07:34,079 --> 01:07:38,799 committee and uh the park builder. Um, 1685 01:07:37,119 --> 01:07:41,119 and I think everyone is pleased that 1686 01:07:38,799 --> 01:07:43,599 repairs are going to occur, but it seems 1687 01:07:41,119 --> 01:07:47,280 that there has been vandalism to the 1688 01:07:43,599 --> 01:07:50,000 park and that it is possibly ongoing or 1689 01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:51,760 reoccurring. Um, so members of the 1690 01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:53,440 community and members of the park 1691 01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:54,960 committee have kind of been 1692 01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:58,160 communicating and chatting and are 1693 01:07:54,960 --> 01:08:01,760 coming up with their own solutions to 1694 01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:04,960 security of the park. Um, but I think it 1695 01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:08,640 makes more sense that the city comes up 1696 01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:10,640 with a solution. Um, 1697 01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:12,640 I don't know if a camera at playgrounds 1698 01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:14,720 is appropriate when there's children. I 1699 01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:16,319 don't know what the solution is, but I 1700 01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:18,799 think the community and the neighborhood 1701 01:08:16,319 --> 01:08:20,480 is just looking for for something and I 1702 01:08:18,799 --> 01:08:22,719 would love for the solution to come from 1703 01:08:20,480 --> 01:08:25,839 us. So, I don't know which director it's 1704 01:08:22,719 --> 01:08:27,759 most appropriate to direct that at, but 1705 01:08:25,839 --> 01:08:30,080 yeah, the it's really unfortunate the 1706 01:08:27,759 --> 01:08:33,520 brand new park and all the vandalism 1707 01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:36,319 that's occurred there. So, if um someone 1708 01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:39,120 could get back to me on what options may 1709 01:08:36,319 --> 01:08:40,719 exist and maybe we could go from there. 1710 01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:42,640 Thanks. 1711 01:08:40,719 --> 01:08:44,640 » Just a brief response. Yes, I'll I'll 1712 01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:46,080 start looking into options and and 1713 01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:48,319 explore what other communities are doing 1714 01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:49,759 in similar circumstances. We're quite 1715 01:08:48,319 --> 01:08:51,120 fortunate that we don't have the level 1716 01:08:49,759 --> 01:08:52,560 of vandalism that a lot of communities 1717 01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:55,120 have. So, I'll reach out and see what 1718 01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:56,480 what they're doing to deter it. Um, I do 1719 01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:58,159 also have the same hesitation when it 1720 01:08:56,480 --> 01:09:00,080 comes to cameras in parks. We've got the 1721 01:08:58,159 --> 01:09:01,839 cameras at Wateridge Park facing the 1722 01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:03,359 parking lot.

It was there's a section on the 1917 01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:24,000 I think the east and north corner that's 1918 01:16:22,159 --> 01:16:28,320 not there. So, I went out there and 1919 01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:30,000 looked and this is my second part. Um, I 1920 01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:32,880 don't know if it's from the wind load on 1921 01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:34,960 there, but the poles are all bent over 1922 01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:38,159 like on by the skate park. It looks like 1923 01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:40,560 they're like two to three feet bent on 1924 01:16:38,159 --> 01:16:42,640 the top from I'm assuming from the wind 1925 01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:44,320 load. Is that what that's from or 1926 01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:47,600 » Uh so I'll yeah I'll actually I'll 1927 01:16:44,320 --> 01:16:49,280 answer that one first. Um it's I I think 1928 01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:51,199 it was there before like I'm I think 1929 01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:53,120 there we had some issue with just the 1930 01:16:51,199 --> 01:16:55,040 installation at the beginning. Uh but 1931 01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:56,480 the I'm the wind screens definitely 1932 01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:58,800 didn't help. I think that's that's 1933 01:16:56,480 --> 01:17:00,239 compacted it. Um the corner posts would 1934 01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:01,920 have been anchored really well cuz they 1935 01:17:00,239 --> 01:17:04,080 would have and but I'm guessing the 1936 01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:05,360 middle posts weren't anchored or didn't 1937 01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:07,360 go down as deep or didn't put as much 1938 01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:09,199 concrete in. Um so we're reaching out to 1939 01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:11,199 the company that originally installed it 1940 01:17:09,199 --> 01:17:13,360 to get that situation looked at. 1941 01:17:11,199 --> 01:17:15,120 » Uh as far as why we only did half it was 1942 01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:16,480 just a cost thing that that was all we 1943 01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:18,400 could fit into our budget last year. 1944 01:17:16,480 --> 01:17:20,159 We're going we we have plans to order 1945 01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:21,840 the rest this year. Okay. And the reason 1946 01:17:20,159 --> 01:17:23,760 we started in that corner was because of 1947 01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:25,760 the pickle ball. We wanted to hit the 1948 01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:28,000 two sides where the wind would be 1949 01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:29,840 predominantly in the summer. Uh it's 1950 01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:31,679 made a huge difference. Uh and then once 1951 01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:33,280 we get to where we have the outdoor rink 1952 01:17:31,679 --> 01:17:34,800 set up and going, that's why we're 1953 01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:35,920 looking to finish the rest of it because 1954 01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:37,840 predominantly the winds will come from 1955 01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:38,960 the opposite direction in winter. So um 1956 01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:39,679 but yeah, thank you for bringing both of 1957 01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:42,320 those up. Yeah. 1958 01:17:39,679 --> 01:17:45,199 » Okay. And you jumped into my third part 1959 01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:48,480 was the outdoor uh hockey rink or the 1960 01:17:45,199 --> 01:17:50,400 the ice surface. Um uh how's things 1961 01:17:48,480 --> 01:17:52,159 progressing? I we're I hate to say it, 1962 01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:54,719 but probably only two months away from 1963 01:17:52,159 --> 01:17:56,560 snowfall and uh wanting to start working 1964 01:17:54,719 --> 01:17:58,080 on that. So, have you done anything? I 1965 01:17:56,560 --> 01:18:01,280 know I sent you some information from 1966 01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:04,320 Ontario that uh company that was doing 1967 01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:04,960 similar uh projects and did you find 1968 01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:06,320 anything out there? 1969 01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:07,840 » So, yeah. So, while just speaking with 1970 01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:10,960 our park supervisor, so we are going to 1971 01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:13,679 get the our outdoor rink package. Uh so 1972 01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:15,520 we we're looking at probably October uh 1973 01:18:13,679 --> 01:18:16,800 Thanksgiving weekend uh when we 1974 01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:18,560 transition from the courts, start 1975 01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:20,480 transitioning from the courts, shut down 1976 01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:22,320 those or at least a section anyway to 1977 01:18:20,480 --> 01:18:24,000 start putting our um the outdoor rink 1978 01:18:22,320 --> 01:18:26,640 package up, make sure it's fully ready 1979 01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:28,320 to go. Uh Miles has got a couple piece 1980 01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:31,199 of a couple pieces of equipment that 1981 01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:32,560 he's basically built himself. Um so that 1982 01:18:31,199 --> 01:18:34,480 when we get the first good snowfall, 1983 01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:36,960 then we can compact the snow and build 1984 01:18:34,480 --> 01:18:38,800 on top of that. Um, in addition, the 1985 01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:41,120 outdoor concession, one of the one of 1986 01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:43,760 our hiccups last year is we didn't have 1987 01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:45,840 enough water supply there. Um, so we 1988 01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:48,640 have talked with a local plumber uh and 1989 01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:50,320 and talked to public works um to upsize 1990 01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:52,320 the water supply line that we'll have 1991 01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:55,679 out there. Um, so we'll basically take 1992 01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:57,520 it from just a garden hose up up 1993 01:18:55,679 --> 01:18:58,960 significantly, double triple that size. 1994 01:18:57,520 --> 01:19:01,040 Um, so we'll be able to flood in the 1995 01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:04,239 same manner that we flood St. Okay. 1996 01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:06,480 » So, so that both that 1997 01:19:04,239 --> 01:19:08,960 the prep work uh and the ability to put 1998 01:19:06,480 --> 01:19:10,400 water down faster will help us to avoid 1999 01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:14,800 some of a lot of the issues we had last 2000 01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:17,199 year. Um it'll also where the the matter 2001 01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:18,960 the fabric that we had put down that we 2002 01:19:17,199 --> 01:19:20,159 had hoped would be our solution ended up 2003 01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:22,000 being one of our biggest issues. So, 2004 01:19:20,159 --> 01:19:22,400 we're avoiding that. 2005 01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:23,040 » Yeah. 2006 01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:24,159 » Yeah. So, 2007 01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:24,640 » Are you going to go right on the court 2008 01:19:24,159 --> 01:19:25,840 then? 2009 01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:26,800 » Yeah. So, we're going to that's that's 2010 01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:28,480 why we're going to make sure that we 2011 01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:30,080 have a nice snow compact right off the 2012 01:19:28,480 --> 01:19:31,280 hop before we start to flood. We're not 2013 01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:32,239 just going to put ice right on top of 2014 01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:36,000 it. We're going to make sure there's 2015 01:19:32,239 --> 01:19:37,520 just the a hard compact on top. So, um 2016 01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:39,120 yeah, we're we're a lot more confident 2017 01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:40,800 going in this year than than what we 2018 01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:41,840 were last year, what we came out of last 2019 01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:43,920 year anyway. So, 2020 01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:44,159 » And if it works, then Miles can patent 2021 01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:47,360 it. 2022 01:19:44,159 --> 01:19:48,960 » If it works, Miles can patent it. It's 2023 01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:49,600 quite the contraption, but it'll work. 2024 01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:52,400 I'm excited. 2025 01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:54,880 » Great. Good. Okay. Thank you.
