under presentation deputations uh Capital project update so uh great yes
thank you your worship um nearing the end of the construction season and it is
very busy all over the community um so I'm going to tackle uh six or seven
projects here um try and give a status update on where we're at with each of
those um first off is the uh mon Reef construction uh Sports Center um they're
Paving over there uh it's looking really really good um I took cruise through
last night and uh really the aim right now is to get the paving done by uh the
end of this week um all the curb work is done the launch is in the creek work is
done you know the the project is looking really really good for uh for a
completion um upcoming here um one final note and we've had a couple inquiries
just around accessible parking for um people that you know also uh drive and
bring trailers down there um there will be when the lands are painted there will
be um some accessible parking spaces um for those individuals just want to make
that note so that Council and the public are both aware um next up is uh First
Avenue South so in front of the Safeway there I'm sure everyone's glad to see
that uh the the roadway is getting repaired and resurfaced um Titan's in
the process of uh ripping that up right now and uh Paving will be taking place
there after they finish off the recck center so um into next week uh following
that we have uh fth Street South so down on the West End closest to the uh Sports
Center um sidewalk the last sidewalk pors we're taking place today and so
there'll be some uh some gravel maintenance that needs to take place and
then uh following that we'll get into Paving on that end and that'll finish
off that portion of that project um Cruz will then be moving over to uh touchups
on 9th Street North so everyone's probably aware that there are um you
know some of the the curb entrances into the cemetery
and um especially down on forgive my pronunciation but uh hooton Road um hton
there's a there's a bad curb there that I think uh you know we've noticed that
there's potential for contact with so um we're going to get that curb lowered so
that it's a little more um easily uh navigated and all of the ashalt infills
will take place um along the length of of nin Street uh following that be
moving over to the Gould and Railway um project uh so a couple things um
Gould Gould Road um deeper into Gould Road uh there's a a culvert repair or
replacement that's taking place uh there so um ashalt is going to happen out
there um after they finish up around 9th Street and then they'll get into kind of
the the bigger finishing works for the uh Railway and Gould intersection so um
so everyone's aware uh they there's no intention to leave that kind of rougher
surface at the intersection for the winter we're going to cap that with uh
with with pavement um and ensure that that's a nice smooth surface to go
through the winter um also there's going to be a recycled asphalt product skiff
of that material will go down on the uh the currently graveled um ghouled
portion of the RO where it comes into meat so that'll take us through the the
winter um the reason that that project is um still sitting on that alignment is
primarily because of the s that we've seen on kind of that swampy area where
the where the reant was to move on to so um anyone driving by there sees you know
kind of the volume of rock that's that's gone in there settlement is still taking
place so we're going to come back to that in the spring um and and finish
that off um beyond that uh the new poles are in for the overhead uh cabling
realignment um on creef construction has uh has got that done and um Synergy will
be moving in to start stringing cables uh expectation is that um with the other
Utilities phone and internet that'll take us actually right through the the
winter season into the spring um beyond that uh couple updates
for north of the bypass so um there's uh the city's uh Capital graveling program
will be taking place on uh the Anderson Branch Road from Carlton Road out to uh
Riverbend and also um the length of School Road um all the way from east
melik to the Essex Road is going to be getting fresh gravel uh
resurfacing um playground updates so the fence oh sorry East milk and essics are
parallel roads that's right so School Road is the road that's going to be
getting in between uh couple of updates for
playground so um Central Park the fencing came down today um and we've
actually staff have actually seen some families out there enjoining the park
already so that's really great to see um over at Norman Park um the lower bowl is
essentially complete um crews are finishing up on the obstacle course and
um and getting to the uh to the gravity rail um inspections on everything except
for the gravity rail is lined up for uh next week and so we're looking at a
potential partial opening over there um just working through a couple of uh
parts and materials for the gravity gravity rail still um and the last one
that I wanted to touch on is that some folks um out on Lake Woods may have seen
that um there's some piping floating in around the harbor front that Marine line
that's going to wrap around the green belt um work is planned for that
installation next week there was a bit of a delay there procuring the weights
that keep it submerged so now that those are in hand uh work's going to be
getting finalized on that project any
questions um Deputy Mayor I I can I yeah hand you the gall or not I I have
one question on Railway Street uh because i' I've received some calls uh
the I know the first left of as is down is the second one going I didn't mention
it but it will be going on the one that's on the piece that's already been
done once that's right yeah there's a couple uh curb and valve repairs that
need to take place and so that'll happen when they're working around the
intersection and then they'll go and put the second lift on okay thank you no

what does this me you want me to speak or Janice do you
want to speak to the report or do you want me to speak to
it so this is the U property the former property and when the main agreement uh
was space you can jump in as well because you were part of that um when
the property was sold part of the uh main agreement was that every uh piece
of property has its own private Ro agreement so you'll see several of these
have come forward to council up until now uh and this is the next piece of
property that's been purchased and then there's separate Ro okay that's as much
planning as I can is there anything that you like like
add to that or is that no that's fine no uh counselor my only question it was
just on I was reading through the agreement what is an East what is e
stopped and E stopple is that a typo or is that a term it says the owner here by
E stopped from claiming or applying for any reduction in reality taxes or
assessment based and then it says later on that that is the right you s yeah so
can you explain what is that word yeah if you if you spend enough time around
these agreements you'll see it from time to time um I'm just going to pull the
Webster dictionary just actually black black Law Dictionary
I remember at University I just didn't know if it was
a typ off first but then I saw e St no it's a legal term so the principle which
precludes a person from asserting something contrary to what is implied by
a previous action or statement of that person or by a previous pertinent
judicial determination okay well now we've all learned something new today so
um yeah like I said you'll see it from time to time

questions um I have two questions your worship so my first question is um will
we be receiving the community safety and wellbeing minutes as part of these
packages going forward um we can add those on there I
think the assistant has posted them now they'll come on the next mon okay um
they're formally approved at the next meeting
okay and then if I question I when I was reading the minutes for the news board
they have a section on there that is oh sorry I thought I went on the
page it's
like I am very sorry I was jumping around in these no it wasn't around the
purchase of artw it there's a section that says like items to bring forward to
council or business um decision items this is where what it is decision items
recomend recommendations of council so that's on the Muse minutes and I had
noticed like in the sustainability me minutes that there was um
um some discussions around action items and there was a piece around you know
the committee supporting some policies and stuff like that but there's not
really like a I don't know like a trigger mechanism
to bring that forward to council and I was wondering if bringing that piece
from I guess what I'm asking is if there is consensus of council to add that as a
piece to our advisory committees having a line item in our advisory committees
as a decision item recom recommendations to council as a way to sort of bring
forward motions or things that are discussed at these meetings and I'm
obviously not asking you as a CL I'm just looking at you um this would be
something that that I would be asking for consensus of council we think that's
value
valuable or can doed yeah and you know we've had a
broader conversation just around committees in general so um and and how
the best interest would be for reporting out of Alles because there is that
discussion happening at at different levels for all committees so that is
something that we've talked about just very briefly at senior leadership and um
going to have a continued conversation because there are various leads in
various areas so it does touch so for example BR we would want to engage his
input into um you know back and how the best mechanism is so can that with me
and we're going to look at the various terms of reference I know sustainability
it's on their agenda for next meeting so we're going to talk about terms of
reference there and I hope to gain some conversation from the various Committees
of how they like to see reporting back to council so and I'd like to broadly do
it for alls I mean I don't sorry if I made your
worship um I don't want to obviously give you direction as my El so that's
why I was if it's something that we think is a value of
as Council or if this is something it's something
administra already in motion it's been brought up at different committees so uh
the you know discussion I've had internally was with uh other
Administration is we need to think of a way that it works for all committees um
and whether we embed that in a committee um appointment policy or we embedded in
each committee's terms of reference um so working on
sorry and then my last question was just around the District of canora home for
the age um does anyone know like with the fact that we do not have a council
appointee do they I think going back to that reporting mechanism do they have
a way to sort of report back or communicate with us if there is a ask of
councel again sort of going back to the same piece I was speaking of because we
didn't have a council appointee with that committee no we and they have
never they've never really reported they've never really had there's the
annual funding but you know they don't come and make updates or presentations
to counil in the past that's not taking
place so there's been no reporting
okay uh okay uh no further questions then I'll uh call a question then for
vote uh all those in favor
carrik uh resolution number 13 thank you your worship I move resolution number 13

34-223 to1 14622 as outline on the October 18th
2023 Council agenda now be be now read a first and second time and approved in
their present form and presented for a third and final
reading questions Council I see none call vote then all those in
favor carried thank you uh moving on the agenda uh number excuse me 13 notices
motion we have uh Ved two uh so far um so uh first one is resolution number
15 thank you your worship resolution number 15 moved by myself seconded by
councelor cheese I councelor Kelsey vanell
can't even say my own name Kelsey Van Bellingham provided Council a notice of
motion at the September 20th 2023 regular meeting of Council of intent to
bring forward the following motion at tonight's October 18th 2023
meeting whereas in June 2015 The Truth and Reconciliation Commission held its
closing event in Ottawa and presented its multivolume report including 94
calls to action to further reconciliation between Canadians and
Indigenous people and whereas in December 16th 2015 the Prime Minister
committed to National indigenous organizations that he would meet with
them annually in order to sustain and Advance shared priorities and whereas
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission calls to actions call on a Le call on
all levels of government including Municipal governments to adopt a number
of recommendations in the report and whereas in order to properly meet the
goals of the commission it is imperative that we keep accurate public records of
our progress therefore be it resolved that Council requests administ ation to
draft a policy whereby Council will receive an annual staff report outlining
the ways in which the city of canora has addressed the municipal call to action
of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in the year prior and further
the Council of the city of canora calls on both the provincial and federal
governments to also commit to annual reporting for their progress in adopting
the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation commission's calls to
action and further that this resolution be forwarded to neighboring
municipalities the association of municipalities of Ontario the Federation
of Canadian municipalities Federation of Northern ont uh sorry Northern Ontario
municipalities Association of Municipal managers clerks and treasurers of
Ontario MP Eric Melo and MP P gregford thank you uh any questions
Council so can can you take that so the only question I had on that was the
second last well I had a question and then just a comment um the second last
paragraph the Council of the city calls on both to they as far as I know because
I had chat they both report on an annual basis uh you know to what quality I
don't know but I I know they both provide an annual report uh whether
anything moved from previous years I don't know but just to let you know that
I they they do that whether whether it's you know quality or whatever I have
no idea so um and the the comment I had to um just in discussion with some other
municipalities now there are other municipalities in our like catch or the
canor district that actually have uh Truth and Reconciliation Comm committees
um so some are probably uh much more
advanced even some of the others of government um and a couple of them I am
aware of that about that so I just wanted to
bring that um as as information but I the the government not I'm just
wondering I mean it's probably semantics but I'm pretty sure that part of the uh
part of the uh commission was for them to release the federal government to
report and I've seen reports whether again there was a lot to it I not for me
to say but um I just wanted to BR that so thank
you um I think my followup to that would be like yes and if that was the
determining factor of moving this most forward I I mean I'm happy to take that
out um I think my goal in this is to make sure that we are doing this in like
a very open accessible way and so whether it's cleaning up language
around like making it open accessible if that's what the determining factor is
I'm happy to have that conversation if need
be uh did you have a question uh I just wondered about how much time that would
take to untangle everything or is this going forward is your request going
forward from today to form a report or is it going backwards and that's part of
my question the second one is the way that this is worded it seems to me more
as though it's uh not what we are doing or intend it's about what we're seem to
be doing and I I have a little bit of a I have a little bit of a concern about
that so I think it probably I it would be my preference if we got to think
about this now that it's from table uh and gets more information from
Administration on how long it would take to UNT
that um as a followup to that my intention is not
to have this be a make work project but for this to be as of this being adopted
moving forward these are the things that we have done and these are the things
that we are working to do so it's not for the calendar years going forward
from today like my int sorry if I'm not to go back and forth your worship thank
you yes my intention would be is that so that for 2023 this would be a report
that we would get forward and then going forward it would be reporting on the
year prior but then in 2023 would be the year that we in the first do you want to
say do you need me to clarify that in the retion resoltion so you're the only
person that can that but does
that does this not say
this so we actually have there's another counselor that has a question coun sorry
I just wondered if you might be able to read the be resolved pieces
again is that okay so therefore be it resolved the
council requests Administration to draft a policy whereby Council receive an
annual staff report aligning the ways in which the city of canora has addressed
the municipal call Action of the truth and Rec Reconciliation Commission in the
year prior and then in further as the um
calling on the other levels of government thank you so the way I would
interpret that it it was supported today that would be we would report in 2024
for what happened in 2023 yeah sorry I was thinking this in
2022 still I said 2023 sorry but we would also have a policy that would come
back for yes uh for Council consideration because that's what you're
asking for
okay um any other questions for call my only question here worship is
and I kind of like to he a little bit like do we need a policy or is like
direction to provide the annual report not I'm just I'm just trying to think
about efficiency the real aim is to report on the calls to action so just
what's the cleanest way I I you want um I would view it as I mean I
guess I'm seeking information as far as what kind of polic are you looking for
because there's an annual report I mean we report on various things right so
we'll have an accessibility report and we' done so if it's if it's an annual
report um completely different from developing some sort of policy um I mean
we have requirements uh to move the actions
forward and internally uh through the various uh um directors that is taking
place so we are on an annual basis and so putting together report uh is
something that we can do as far as developing a policy I guess I'm seeking
further information about that contents that so if I may I think that the
purpose behind drafting a policy versus giving direction to staff is that then
it's embedded in the culture of the organization versus if we give you
direction am I sitting here hopeful that in because there's not a requirement
similar to accessibility where there's province of Ontario has legislated that
you have to provide this report in perpetuity if it's a policy then it
needs to be repealed in order for it to not be provided to counsel even after
this council's done that's where my thought process is with it but if I'm
wrong in that I'm a newbie so by all means because I don't believe that
there's any re uh requirement for municipalities
to report this out to the public any other um legislative body that requires
this does that make sense
so just for clarification and then before we look at
calling um so are so you still are open for a policy to be drafted to okay coun
thank you I guess in Le of a policy I just wondered on the same vein where
this would be uh indicated in in our sort of procedural documentation that it
does come forward you know in case we all get hit
by a bus
sometime Roberto would you have any comments around the PO I'm just
wondering if we could Broad in maybe uh that it forms a regular part of the
annual report as a section or a component I'm just struggling with the
policy is going to say you will report on this this annually so um I'm
wondering if we can leverage um existing current annual processes reporting and
to include that it must include a section but I don't know if there's a
policy I was actually trying to look is there a policy on the annual report
anual report you do know it's it's not a policy it's just but it continues every
year yeah uh alternative like that's my only struggle is what
exactly the policy would
say so so is there a different mechanism that would sort of like ensure that it
would have to be a decision of council for that to not come forward in years in
advance not really unless it you know unless there is a policy that's it's an
administrative
process so could we develop an annual reporting policy for non- legislated
reports like for for anything that would sort of fall within that okay well I
know it I know it changes things that's just that would
another but I I think getting back to this resolution that
like are you looking to amend that then on this policy piece or are we going to
vote on it because um we have to do one or the other like we like we have to
vote on it now it's on the on the floor correct so I yeah um
so um I'm willing to table this to have it in conjunction
with a conversation around a annual reporting
policy um and bring that as of notice of motion
today I guess is what I could do procedurally so that we could at
next or can I Adit like I can't amend this to be an annual like this is
completely amend this this the only person that can amend this is yourself
this is your Noti motion so you can amend this however you you wish to
proceed um on the floor sorry if I may so then if I could
amend it to say therefore be it resolved the council request Administration to De
to draft a annual reporting policy whereby Council will receive an annual
report Al the ways and which the city is addressed add call Action of the truth
and Recon in the ire and like and other what is the my and
other reports legisl and other non-legislative
reports does that incompass it yeah y I did so therefore be resolved
that Council request Administration to draft an annual reporting policy where
by Council will receiving an annual staff report outlining the ways in which
the address the municipal calls to truth
action of the truth reconcil Commission in the year prior which includes other
non- legislated reports okay okay so so can you take the
yeah just so so again so it's not uh cumbersome confusing the staff what like
for me to vote what does that mean like other that that's a pretty blanket
statement so mayor porier you would have seen um previous from being part of
council that staff brings an annual report to council which you know
outlines the highlights the M municipality for the year H we talk
about not just specific projects that you would see in courtly reports uh but
other um you know movement of the municipality in the year prior so the
policy would include those types of things that we are already reporting on
and then add this to
it okay so do everybody if I may to clarify does the the second piece about
reporting like requirements of the provincial Federal governments does
anyone feel strongly enough that I should remove those as far as thinking a
vote on those I'm H like I'm happy to have that as conversation if we need to
well sorry again I I I mean they do so I mean we could tell them we could remind
them to do it I guess or whatever I mean it's I guess it's you know if
that's uh again back to like yourself to uh you know whether you uh wish to amend
uh this resolution uh I'm just saying that they they do it now that they prob
like the federal government probably does a better job than any municipality
or any other level government in Canada on that piece now whether there's action
you know is another another question but they they do report on it I've seen them
before uh provincial government i' I've seen them t or uh speak to it in the
legislature but you know uh is it that formalized I have no idea
soe uh thank you I just uh I think it's fine I think it is maybe good for us to
say hey this remains important um for the general population to hear about I
think there's no reason we can't send something that
says you should still be doing this Al ship it it is allyship I agree
but I I don't like to pull per funders in the eye with a sharp stick and say
we're doing this you should be doing this I don't I don't I
just I'd be a little near about that but so
coun um so instead of the uh commit to annual reporting like commit to progress
in adopting the recommendations we can't ask them to do that we can't we can't
guide another government why not guiding commit to progress is
guiding no
sorry okay may I ask you directly is it like a yes is it a make or break for you
if it's in there no cor okay okay so so with the the the one
Amendment um cuz I I yeah I like if we're not going to change that
I I think we've had that discussion already so um so I think and you and uh
the clerk's read that piece so uh you want her to read it again before we vote
or are we okay to uh vote on this resolution now good yeah okay okay so uh
I'm going to uh discussion and I'm going to call on the amend on the amended
resolution uh 15 uh going to call the vote all those in favor
uh
against
carried okay so uh the other notice motion C you

will yeah um thank you thank you uh at this time I actually would like to
withdraw this resolution um related to development of
