Partners professional recruitment

37
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,560
committee it's a very active committee

38
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,799
that the city of canora

39
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,759
also has a seat on for voice and his key

40
00:02:03,799 --> 00:02:08,599
role is provide oversight to our

41
00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:10,280
professional recruiter Jennifer Savage

42
00:02:08,599 --> 00:02:13,000
while also ensuring that we're making

43
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:15,239
progress in our recruitment

44
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,400
efforts professional recruiter role is

45
00:02:15,239 --> 00:02:19,840
really

46
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,879
crucial uh because they lead the drive

47
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,959
to recruit professional staff and we say

48
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:26,920
that that includes Family Physicians

49
00:02:23,959 --> 00:02:28,840
Emergency Room Physicians uh specialist

50
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:30,959
nurse practitioners and visiting looms

51
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,319
to our region so it's it's a really key

52
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:36,239
role and it's also important for the

53
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:38,000
recruiter to engage uh medical students

54
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:39,879
and residents to welcome them and create

55
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,560
a connection because out of that

56
00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:44,680
connection which extends beyond their

57
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,159
presence in our community it's an

58
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,599
opportunity to recruit them to work in

59
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:52,879
canora because they have experience uh

60
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:55,879
in our community and in our region when

61
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:58,519
we look at our health system today um

62
00:02:55,879 --> 00:03:02,040
whether you're here or any other

63
00:02:58,519 --> 00:03:04,920
community in Ontario or Canada or North

64
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,959
America and so on uh there's no question

65
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:10,200
that we've been impacted by the

66
00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:12,400
pandemic in our health human

67
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,720
resources uh we're now facing critical

68
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,720
shortages in both Physicians and nurse

69
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,040
practitioners and then the impact on

70
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,080
that and you hear it directly I'm sure

71
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:24,159
access to primary care for Clinic

72
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:26,280
appointments other services like emerge

73
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:28,480
coverage but the truth is we've been

74
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:31,360
able to maintain Service uh despite

75
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:34,120
those challenges however it does place a

76
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,720
a substantial burden uh on our present

77
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:39,439
Physicians and nurse practitioners who

78
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:42,120
are Rudy stretched uh to maintain

79
00:03:39,439 --> 00:03:43,319
services and also I would say they're

80
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,760
also

81
00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:47,560
exhausted but they're still working and

82
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:51,599
we're still providing

83
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:53,280
service however it's also fair to say

84
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:56,599
this is probably the most important time

85
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:59,760
we've ever faced in terms of recruitment

86
00:03:56,599 --> 00:04:02,519
the recruitment model has changed um

87
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:06,480
it's now an ongoing long-term investment

88
00:04:02,519 --> 00:04:08,799
of time energy commitment resources it's

89
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,439
a marathon not a Sprint uh every

90
00:04:08,799 --> 00:04:11,640
Community is in the same boat so we're

91
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:13,959
competing with

92
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,440
everybody and ultimately it is

93
00:04:13,959 --> 00:04:18,479
influenced by a meaningful relationship

94
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,560
that gets established with potential

95
00:04:18,479 --> 00:04:23,400
candidates that are

96
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,240
recruitable and this Begins by investing

97
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,440
when people are here as students and

98
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:31,080
residents so they can see their future

99
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:33,199
of setting roots in canar and this

100
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,479
region and to be

101
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:39,320
successful uh we must begin by

102
00:04:35,479 --> 00:04:40,560
supporting our current staff and staying

103
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,360
uh they have the best knowledge what

104
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,759
it's like to work here they're essential

105
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:48,360
people in our recruitment process they

106
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:50,120
know the practice environments they can

107
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,320
be influential for advocating for

108
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:55,479
practicing in this area and most

109
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,479
importantly they're already

110
00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:02,160
here and we have made progress

111
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,199
uh we have welcomed some family

112
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,520
physicians we respectfully said goodbye

113
00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:09,000
to others who we truly valued and and

114
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,000
hopefully they may return someday we've

115
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,919
now recruited our full team of

116
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,880
psychiatrists we have a new general

117
00:05:12,919 --> 00:05:18,800
surgeon who's starting in January and we

118
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:21,240
hope to recruit our third surgeon in

119
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:24,160
2024 we have new visiting specialists in

120
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:26,880
urology Gynecology and Opthalmology and

121
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,440
all these new Specialists again they

122
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,280
bring an opportunity for people to be

123
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,560
seen here as opposed to traveling to

124
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:37,240
another uh City for

125
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:39,880
that and we also anticipate very soon a

126
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:42,639
funding announcements for pediatricians

127
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,000
at team of four for our region so stay

128
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:47,080
tuned for

129
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,840
that we've also expanded our teaching

130
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:52,199
capacity uh with nsum for students and

131
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:55,000
residents and we also see that as an

132
00:05:52,199 --> 00:05:56,639
important role that we can serve uh

133
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,800
because by bringing more students and so

134
00:05:56,639 --> 00:06:01,120
on we create relationships they get to

135
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,919
see us and ask action and we have

136
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,240
opportunities to connect with them and

137
00:06:02,919 --> 00:06:06,880
and recruit them when they graduate

138
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,560
we're also very important to have an

139
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:12,080
involved physici group um we call them

140
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,639
our local education group and they offer

141
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,360
uh teaching opportunities in a variety

142
00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:17,360
of disciplines so that when we're

143
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,800
recruiting uh students and and so they

144
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:22,000
can get a tremendous experience with the

145
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,280
variety of services that we have

146
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,919
available um how hosting medical

147
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:28,639
students and residents a really great

148
00:06:25,919 --> 00:06:31,039
way of showcasing our community and this

149
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:32,599
would not be possible with our dedic

150
00:06:31,039 --> 00:06:34,639
created group of professional and

151
00:06:32,599 --> 00:06:37,240
Hospital staff who work very closely

152
00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:39,080
with our professional recruiter and

153
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:42,599
those positive experiences are further

154
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:44,960
augmented by uh local people community

155
00:06:42,599 --> 00:06:47,440
members uh the local activities that are

156
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:50,560
available shops restaurants Etc that's

157
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:53,880
all part of building a relationship of

158
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,759
event eventually having people work here

159
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,039
but it's very competitive and to be

160
00:06:55,759 --> 00:07:00,680
competitive we have to widen our

161
00:06:58,039 --> 00:07:02,759
marketing uh we had uh we were with a

162
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:06,039
group in Israel to try and recruit not

163
00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:08,759
Israel pardon me Ireland uh to recruit

164
00:07:06,039 --> 00:07:11,240
uh foreign uh medical graduates because

165
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:13,720
they can now come into Canada and into

166
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:16,520
Ontario under changes in how licensing

167
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:20,080
works so so we have a really

168
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:21,919
big uh you know uh challenge in order of

169
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,440
doing everything possible to

170
00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:26,120
recruit uh we have to keep working on

171
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,479
relationships so that they're well

172
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,280
established uh when we bring new local

173
00:07:28,479 --> 00:07:32,639
Physicians into to uh maintain our

174
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:35,280
services we also potentially show them

175
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:37,080
that this is a really good place to work

176
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,800
and uh and we must also encourage

177
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,319
Physicians uh who have previously

178
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,120
enjoyed positive locom experiences here

179
00:07:41,319 --> 00:07:45,479
to refer colleagues and friends to

180
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,400
consider coming here as well many

181
00:07:45,479 --> 00:07:49,879
communities are offering significant

182
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:52,080
recruitment incentives with return and

183
00:07:49,879 --> 00:07:54,599
service agreements housing

184
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:57,440
subsidies and uh the far the more short

185
00:07:54,599 --> 00:07:59,639
you are uh the more desperate you are

186
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,240
and the more things you do usually tied

187
00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:04,720
though on uh return and service

188
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,720
agreements of at least 3 to 5

189
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:10,479
years so the city of canara has

190
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:13,639
supported our recruitment committee have

191
00:08:10,479 --> 00:08:16,400
provided funding for $25,000 per year

192
00:08:13,639 --> 00:08:18,560
for a long time uh to support the effort

193
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,720
of the professional recruiter and we as

194
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,199
all nation's Health Partners we

195
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,960
sincerely appreciate uh the city's

196
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:27,080
support I was in front of uh Council in

197
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,080
January

198
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,599
2023 and we requested the city of canor

199
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,719
to increase their contribution to

200
00:08:31,599 --> 00:08:36,399
$40,000 perom and that's really just to

201
00:08:34,719 --> 00:08:39,519
support our increased efforts that we

202
00:08:36,399 --> 00:08:42,159
need to do uh with all the recruiting uh

203
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:44,039
aspects that I identified earlier it

204
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:47,399
also allows the professional recruiter

205
00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:49,120
to travel more and also more importantly

206
00:08:47,399 --> 00:08:51,560
potential recruits are looking for site

207
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,120
visits in order to get a Fel for the

208
00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:55,920
community look at housing and things of

209
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:58,680
that nature all of that helps and I do

210
00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:01,120

211
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:03,680
for 202 24 you have put in a provision

212
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,519

213
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:07,000

216
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:13,040
sincere appreciation to the city of

217
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,839

efforts and um we look forward uh by

220
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:23,200
working together uh to make sure that we

221
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:26,880
can uh reduce our vacancies and expand

222
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:31,120
our services here thank you very

223
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,120
much question Council

224
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,760
thank you thank you for your

225
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,959
presentation Ray um just a quick

226
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,720
question you mentioned recruiting

227
00:09:35,959 --> 00:09:40,240
doctors from Ireland um I think that's

228
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,600
really exciting and pretty cool that

229
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,880
that type of an agreement exists with

230
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,720
Ontario is Ontario working on more

231
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,320
reciprocal agreements with Manatoba like

232
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,959
is there are there still barriers with

233
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,279
recruiting doctors from Manitoba to

234
00:09:48,959 --> 00:09:53,360
practice here well we've tried to reduce

235
00:09:51,279 --> 00:09:55,279
them to the full extent we can like for

236
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,600
instance just to keep your merge open

237
00:09:55,279 --> 00:10:00,480
trying to get Physicians to come for a

238
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,360
merge uh you know we at the beginning we

239
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,360
had no flexibility on the time it took

240
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:07,240
the license of physician and we said

241
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:09,640
well we need them for next week we can't

242
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,800
wait 3 months so we were able to

243
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:16,240
negotiate special Arrangements uh for

244
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:18,640
faster licensing and I think um as we go

245
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,399
further I think that that that's part of

246
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,040
a really uh important discussion we need

247
00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:24,440
to have with Manitoba in terms of

248
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,240
service access the ability for

249
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:29,160
Physicians and even health

250
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:32,079
information uh to be more expedited uh

251
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,519
in terms of how we work as neighbors so

252
00:10:32,079 --> 00:10:36,200
I think all of those things Grant

253
00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:37,000
they're all part of the same discussion

254
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,639
thank

255
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,240
you c b yeah again thanks for your

256
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:42,920
presentation right you just mentioned

257
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:46,040
you have a full team now of

258
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:48,560
psychiatrists how many how many members

259
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:51,760
do that team make up who are they well

260
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:54,360
it's uh three three psychiatrists and we

261
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:57,519
can also recruit another. 6 under the

262
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:59,399
funding that we have um we still rely on

263
00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:01,480
some looms uh from time to time time for

264
00:10:59,399 --> 00:11:04,360
vacation coverage and things of that

265
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:07,200
nature uh we are in a bigger discussion

266
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,480
though with Su Lookout and so on over

267
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,720
because they also have a need for

268
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:13,839
psychiatrists of actually expanding our

269
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:16,240
model to include more so these are all

270
00:11:13,839 --> 00:11:18,560
things that that are sort of adjusting

271
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,680
as we go forward I'm sure with this

272
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:23,040
being a regional

273
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:25,760
psychiatric facility it's it's it's

274
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:29,399
important it's priority who are the

275
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:33,320
psychiatrists that we have uh it's Dr

276
00:11:29,399 --> 00:11:37,920
Shen Dr kall and Dr

277
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:40,240
Marbel and uh yeah well when we lost all

278
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:43,079
our psychiatrists uh Dr kall was the

279
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:45,120
first one that we recruited then Dr Shen

280
00:11:43,079 --> 00:11:48,000
came just over about a year ago Dr

281
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:50,360
marbor just came this year and they all

282
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,480
have different areas of practice which

283
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:56,000
really gives us a broad coverage for uh

284
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:59,720
for mental health

285
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:02,560
thanks council could you tell us um

286
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:05,160
exactly the amount of doctors were

287
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:07,200
short I think in Primary Care well I

288
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:09,360
think uh it depends on what service but

289
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,200
I think in primary care we think

290
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:14,920
somewhere between 10 to

291
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:17,480
12 uh in primary care and emerge I can

292
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:20,440
tell you it's about

293
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:22,240
40% so we are relying on looms and and

294
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:25,480
so on to but it's also on a nurse

295
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:27,440
practitioner side too where you know and

296
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,959
also we also look at physician assistant

297
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,920
you know different different uh

298
00:12:28,959 --> 00:12:33,079
professionals that we can also bring in

299
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,560
to take pressure off of Just The

300
00:12:33,079 --> 00:12:37,839
Physician uh so those are all all things

301
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:40,079
that we're working on but you know you

302
00:12:37,839 --> 00:12:41,440
should be aware though that we're in we

303
00:12:40,079 --> 00:12:43,800
have a funding

304
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:46,560
proposal which would cover all the

305
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,519
services provided by physicians with a

306
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:52,120
small number of exceptions but certainly

307
00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:53,839
emerge primary care we have a a unique

308
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:57,040
funding model that's actually being

309
00:12:53,839 --> 00:13:00,399
negotiated right now that if we get

310
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:02,639
that that's going to be the major

311
00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:05,279
benefit that we can achieve in order to

312
00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:07,959
actually recruit by actually solving our

313
00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:09,760
salary inequities relative to to the

314
00:13:07,959 --> 00:13:13,160
South which creates problems recruiting

315
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:15,920
here so if that gets approved that

316
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,920
changes

317
00:13:17,839 --> 00:13:24,320
everything any other questions

318
00:13:21,399 --> 00:13:26,560

373
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,880

375
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:13,399
JumpStart JumpStart state of sport uh

376
00:16:10,519 --> 00:16:15,680
review is up for 2023 and whether it's

377
00:16:13,399 --> 00:16:17,480
sport Recreation culture I think you'll

378
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,399
get a very deep appreciation for some of

379
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:22,880
those impacts those impacts are wide

380
00:16:20,399 --> 00:16:25,480
variety uh Partners continue to see the

381
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:28,000
impacts of Co in all aspects of sport

382
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:30,000
Recreation arts and Co programs

383
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,240
consequent on family and parents is

384
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,920
unique significant barriers to sports

385
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:37,279
cultural activities with increased

386
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,920
pressures financially on parents cost of

387
00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:41,639
living increases and decisions to

388
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,639
register kids or put food on the table

389
00:16:41,639 --> 00:16:46,279
is is really a true Factor

390
00:16:43,639 --> 00:16:48,040
today 4 and 10 parents continue to

391
00:16:46,279 --> 00:16:50,800
report adverse effects on their children

392
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:53,560
from reduced participation stats that

393
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,199
continue to grow and we see every day in

394
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,959
sports play and significant cultural

395
00:16:55,199 --> 00:16:59,000
leisure activities including signs of

396
00:16:56,959 --> 00:17:01,680
less physical activity Fitness

397
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:04,439
feeling of loss resentment and anxiety

398
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:06,199
and so those continue to pressure us all

399
00:17:04,439 --> 00:17:08,039
and to our organizations who try to keep

400
00:17:06,199 --> 00:17:10,760
the doors open increased pressures of

401
00:17:08,039 --> 00:17:12,600
operational costs and fees posing new

402
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,160
challenges for sport organizations and

403
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,720
that goes right across the board for

404
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,319
just recruiting a volunteer today uh to

405
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,959
Commitment of family

406
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:23,559
members so the research and studies go

407
00:17:20,959 --> 00:17:26,439
deep into things like 81% of sports

408
00:17:23,559 --> 00:17:28,919
organizations say costs have increased

409
00:17:26,439 --> 00:17:30,600
62% of sport organizations say the

410
00:17:28,919 --> 00:17:31,960
current economic situation has led to

411
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,080
reduce signup rates for their

412
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:36,440
programming which also has had a direct

413
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:39,160
impact on us as a programmer with the

414
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:41,280
barrier of what we used to say a $30,000

415
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:44,160
layer we're not even seeing those kids

416
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,840
register today just because those those

417
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,080
figures and numbers have have almost

418
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,440
wiped them out of those opportunities

419
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:53,480
44% of parents say they cannot afford to

420
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:55,960
register their kids in sport today and

421
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,840
as well 58% of parents say that

422
00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:00,400
registration fees program costs are on

423
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:03,080
the rise and we've seen that rise

424
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:05,400
177% from the study over the years since

425
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,880
Co of December

426
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,400
2021 so what do we see for for triple

427
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,440
play increased pressure increased

428
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:14,200
support uh I would say and I think Dar

429
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,280
would attest that it's been a bigger

430
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,320
year than we anticipated in what we've

431
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,000
been trying to do we've been out a

432
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,720
little bit more out of the box but we

433
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,760
continue to support work with sports

434
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:26,799
Recreation culture programs to focus on

435
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:28,520
registration and participation fees we

436
00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:31,240
continue to support our equipment lock

437
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:33,000
room in its greatest uh needs what we're

438
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,600
not seeing or what we are seeing as a

439
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,960
generous uh supply of equipment in from

440
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:40,720
people but less and less opportunity for

441
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:43,600
families to pay which is all right it's

442
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:45,360
it's a loan equipment share program uh

443
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,520
but mostly in the past we would get

444
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:49,760
donations for equipment we're just happy

445
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,440
to see the families leave and to those

446
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,919
that drop off our equipment we're very

447
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:56,120
thankful that we continue to stock our

448
00:18:53,919 --> 00:18:57,720
shells we have worked in a couple new

449
00:18:56,120 --> 00:19:00,000
opportunities of purchasing some some

450
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,480
Partnership of VI equipment one of those

451
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,679
recently and we talk about in our

452
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:06,360
partnership with Bard anyone and a a

453
00:19:03,679 --> 00:19:08,039
skate park celebration at the park we

454
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:09,360
have really worked hard this year on new

455
00:19:08,039 --> 00:19:11,200
sponsorship and collaborative

456
00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:13,280
opportunities and I want to share a

457
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,000
couple examples in and mwood uh

458
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,280
Adventures is probably one of the best

459
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,880
we can show and we're assisting in

460
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,000
changing the landscape and regrouping

461
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,880
our financial requirements we need to

462
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,799
raise the bar for for kids the bar was

463
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:29,039
low uh and it's keeping kids from or at

464
00:19:26,799 --> 00:19:30,720
least from our support so we're going to

465
00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:32,880
raise that bar to hopefully capture more

466
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,200
and this year the executive did a a

467
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,840
raise of a bar that hopefully we caught

468
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,000
more kids this year than we did last and

469
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,960
finally we're working in great

470
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,440
Partnerships recently with schools and I

471
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,000
think that's probably our biggest

472
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:47,000
collaboration and partnership is getting

473
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:49,480
in with the schools and our first nation

474
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:52,919
Partners our sponsoring Partnerships are

475
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:55,840
key um the ass that we have is is a

476
00:19:52,919 --> 00:19:58,360
percentage of maybe less than 8% of what

477
00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:00,080
our ASA build is for our program and

478
00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:02,360
without our sponsors and partners we we

479
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:05,000
just can't make that work for those that

480
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:06,919
know Vicky Moss uh what a great lady she

481
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,640
was started off with offering just

482
00:20:06,919 --> 00:20:11,039
collection of skate equipment for us

483
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:13,559
last winter turned into an amazing

484
00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:15,400
partnership she also as most might know

485
00:20:13,559 --> 00:20:16,919
she works in program down in ger Park

486
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,039
which is a pocket of our kids out of the

487
00:20:16,919 --> 00:20:21,520
mental area that traditionally don't get

488
00:20:19,039 --> 00:20:23,000
those opportunities for participation uh

489
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,400
we we partnered with some funding

490
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,679
agreements that anyone anywhere anytime

491
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:30,000
could use that equipment and Vicki grew

492
00:20:27,679 --> 00:20:31,720
that into Family Day p uh barbecue

493
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,960
picnic which we sponsored and supported

494
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:36,240
with Honda and what a great day that was

495
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,640
to to see hot dogs flow off of barbecue

496
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,840
as fast as we could cook them and and

497
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:43,520
basically see a great group of kids and

498
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,600
family enjoy that day that also led into

499
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,080
a partnership with her husband who is

500
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:50,400
the general manager at Honda who

501
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,720
sponsored s SI event which we had some

502
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,720
great relationships and now I just

503
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:57,679
worked in with her family p Pine our is

504
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,799
it mental Family Resource Center in

505
00:20:57,679 --> 00:21:02,280
gifting for Christmas and ensuring kids

506
00:20:59,799 --> 00:21:04,400
the age of 12 to 18 do get some some

507
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,280
equipment and some gifts for Christmas

508
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,760
so it's interesting how collaborations

509
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,279
and sponsorships can work our indigenous

510
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:13,400
Day first day of summer national

511
00:21:10,279 --> 00:21:15,200
ghostgate day was was a huge success we

512
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,159
purchased equipment through and with

513
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,960
with partnership with board anyone to

514
00:21:17,159 --> 00:21:21,559
make sure that kids could financially

515
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:24,000
afford a board uh needed a new board

516
00:21:21,559 --> 00:21:26,520
repair their board uh we celebrated that

517
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,159
day up in the park uh we ended up just

518
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:31,559
getting it in before one of the bigger

519
00:21:28,159 --> 00:21:33,600
storms uh took us away um sponsorship

520
00:21:31,559 --> 00:21:36,400
also then led into the San Memorial

521
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:39,320
skate which is a great uh recognition to

522
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:41,400
Sam and the community uh as everyone

523
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,440
would know I I don't know anything that

524
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,320
we've done better than our small cookie

525
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,960
day and we thank everyone including our

526
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,799
city Partnerships uh that that ate a

527
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,360
cookie I don't know anyone that that

528
00:21:49,799 --> 00:21:54,480
didn't eat a cookie or share a cookie

529
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:56,039
last year's total was a raising of

530
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:59,919
$33,600

531
00:21:56,039 --> 00:22:01,720
that by far is smashed our record um and

532
00:21:59,919 --> 00:22:04,400
we continue to believe that we we get

533
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:06,080
that for one more year those uh events

534
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,440
then led into our opportunity of a

535
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:10,720
partnership that started off on on a a

536
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,240
challenging note ended up great in the

537
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,880
partnership that we were able to share

538
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:17,159
some of those smell cookie dollars uh

539
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,960
with the school program and help of

540
00:22:17,159 --> 00:22:21,559
finalizing an inclusive playground so

541
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,400
things go differently in different ways

542
00:22:21,559 --> 00:22:25,279
but those Partnerships have grown and

543
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:28,080
interesting enough their sister smaller

544
00:22:25,279 --> 00:22:31,000
school at Christmas was Raising selling

545
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,440
candy for uh Triple Play kids uh they

546
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,640
were quite excited to know that they

547
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,400
were partnering with us to to make their

548
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:39,600
dollars and their cookies and and their

549
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:42,360
candy donations go a long way as well

550
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:44,520
I'd like to thank the city uh for

551
00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:46,400

whole responsibility of all cost to host

560
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,640
that we worked in partnership with both

561
00:23:04,120 --> 00:23:07,720
our girls and our boys minor hockey

562
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:10,960
program and we were able to raise

563
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:12,520
$177,000 in two games and that in turn

564
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,159
is helping us partner with our minor

565
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,720
hockey groups uh for equipment

566
00:23:14,159 --> 00:23:20,320
registrations but the biggest part uh

567
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:22,840
just recently uh The Right Start program

568
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,320
uh for kids first shift 31 kids

569
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,760
registering we we've worked a

570
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,000
partnership that we will pick up the

571
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:30,080
additional registration uh funds for

572
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,600
those kids to ensure they play all year

573
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:34,159
and hopefully keep the large percentage

574
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:36,039
of those girls and boys playing hockey

575
00:23:34,159 --> 00:23:38,840
as well we just walked yesterday from

576
00:23:36,039 --> 00:23:41,480
our upgrade uh relationships with Beaver

577
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:43,000
bra bike program uh a strong Kudo to

578
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,520
Debbie Novak and the work that she did

579
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,919
to get that bike program I'm going um m

580
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:50,200
cranic is as a passion of a person I've

581
00:23:47,919 --> 00:23:52,200
ever seen in a school in regards to

582
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,520
starting biking I've never seen so many

583
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,960
kids on bikes again which is great but

584
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:59,200
that relationship now uh formed allowed

585
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,760
20 bikes to be freed up in a partnership

586
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:04,240
between Northwest Health Unit um Triple

587
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:06,480
Play and Evergreen school to hopefully

588
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:09,159
uh soon announce 20 new uh mountain bike

589
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:11,080
program for the Evergreen kids and and

590
00:24:09,159 --> 00:24:12,520
so th those collaborations get us deep

591
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,440
into Partnerships that we didn't

592
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:17,120
traditionally see us doing before but

593
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,200
have great impacts on kids that that

594
00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:21,279
financially need the support that

595
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,480
there's no questions asked delivery

596
00:24:21,279 --> 00:24:24,720
programs are happening we also have

597
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,760
great Partnerships with with the

598
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,279
examples with our rotary rotary has

599
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,919
always been a strong support of Triple

600
00:24:28,279 --> 00:24:31,159
Play we were able to partnership back up

601
00:24:29,919 --> 00:24:34,080
with them with the school program at

602
00:24:31,159 --> 00:24:36,840
Evergreen to ensure kids met Camp uh get

603
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:38,240
got to go to Camp I also mentioned the

604
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,520
mountain bike opportunity which is

605
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,159
really cool we just formed a re recent

606
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,520
partnership relationship with we l

607
00:24:42,159 --> 00:24:46,520
cabins for every cabin that was built

608
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,760
leveled this year a percentage of that

609
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:51,039
went to us in the commitment of $3,000

610
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,919
for matching grant for three years is a

611
00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:55,640
huge investment of a partner within our

612
00:24:52,919 --> 00:24:57,399
community and numerous Community donors

613
00:24:55,640 --> 00:25:00,520
throughout the years uh very many to

614
00:24:57,399 --> 00:25:02,840
name buta Lodge has been a longtime

615
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,679
supporter of of us they were one of the

616
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,600
matching uh dollar programs that

617
00:25:04,679 --> 00:25:08,480
continue to support us I mentioned

618
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,720
Nicole margarit Bourgeois school and

619
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:14,000
their their cookie air their candy drive

620
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:16,880
as well as supporting uh funds from

621
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,760
kdsb our city budget request similar to

622
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,720
last year it's actually the same as last

623
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:23,159
year I believe the high request at one

624
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:26,159
time was 15,000 uh we've put in a

625
00:25:23,159 --> 00:25:28,200
request for $122,000 uh and then the

626
00:25:26,159 --> 00:25:31,159
request for threeyear forecasting

627
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:34,200
uh up to 12,5

628
00:25:31,159 --> 00:25:35,760
13,000 so if there's any questions um

629
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,399
we've come a long way it's been a great

630
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,000
year in many different ways I think

631
00:25:37,399 --> 00:25:41,559
we've been able to do I think we also

632
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:44,039
partnered in four or five barbecues I

633
00:25:41,559 --> 00:25:46,440
will admit it's not my greatest uh uh

634
00:25:44,039 --> 00:25:49,000
thing that dragging barbecues around to

635
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:51,000
to to sometimes get rained out but we

636
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,080
also were able to share a part of that

637
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,480
uh the end hot dogs we didn't get rid of

638
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,159
I went to Kuwait and public school for

639
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,919
their family day so there's many ways of

640
00:25:56,159 --> 00:26:00,640
sharing a hot dog in our Community U but

641
00:25:58,919 --> 00:26:03,799
uh we thank you your worship for that

642
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:06,919
effort if there's any

643
00:26:03,799 --> 00:26:09,159
questions councel yeah thanks again for

644
00:26:06,919 --> 00:26:10,520
the presentation and for the great work

645
00:26:09,159 --> 00:26:12,200
uh you talked about the value of

646
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:15,080
Partnerships I never heard anything

647
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:17,720
about partnership with obb can you tell

648
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:20,480
me where they fit in I know U from my

649
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:23,520
personal experience um the obb

650
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:26,520
facilitated uh project Sunset program

651
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:28,679
years ago was a youth engagement program

652
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,279
uh started off in cash and it was funded

653
00:26:28,679 --> 00:26:32,760
by Believe by the federal government the

654
00:26:30,279 --> 00:26:35,960
team of like several million and it it

655
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:39,000
did have a lot of great results um it

656
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:41,919
was uh so then it was operationalized in

657
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:45,200
our communities as well and uh it was

658
00:26:41,919 --> 00:26:46,720
functioning for a time in canora um I

659
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,440
don't know the status of it right now if

660
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:52,880
it's been idled or I think the idea was

661
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:53,919
to hand it off to a police agency uh but

662
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,480
I'd just like to know if you have a

663
00:26:53,919 --> 00:26:59,159
partnership with with the op uh if not

664
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:03,440
need for financial for income support

665
00:26:59,159 --> 00:27:05,559
because that type of relation relational

666
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:08,200
uh programming I think is vital and and

667
00:27:05,559 --> 00:27:10,520
I think it's Elemental to uh any

668
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,880
Community safety initiative so you know

669
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,760
the work you're doing I fully fully

670
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:17,000
support but I really think that

671
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:18,679
mentorship um a partnership a strong

672
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:22,240
partnership with with the obb I think

673
00:27:18,679 --> 00:27:24,120
could be beneficial in uh in many ways

674
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,399
just question with that yeah we've had

675
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:28,200
numerous discussions with help me with

676
00:27:26,399 --> 00:27:30,960
the term be stuff

677
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:33,000
Inspector Inspector yeah dougen on a

678
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,799
number of occasions uh have I've had

679
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,320
time to talk to a number of officers

680
00:27:34,799 --> 00:27:38,720
just especially around some of the small

681
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:41,159
cookie in our bike program the op have

682
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,679
always been a large contributor in

683
00:27:41,159 --> 00:27:44,760
helping Beaver Bray with the bikes and

684
00:27:42,679 --> 00:27:46,399
the bike program but past that it it

685
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:49,480
seems to have been a tougher challenge

686
00:27:46,399 --> 00:27:52,519
to get that partnership back but we we'

687
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:54,880
offered up uh an opportunity to say give

688
00:27:52,519 --> 00:27:57,039
kids a ticket uh not a ticket for being

689
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:59,120
bad but a ticket for being good POS

690
00:27:57,039 --> 00:28:00,919
ticket positive ticketing uh but we're

691
00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:03,080
still working on those and but our

692
00:28:00,919 --> 00:28:05,360
relationship with with uh Mr dougen is

693
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:07,200
very strong and trying to understand

694
00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:08,600
where where kids are at today and some

695
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,320
of the police and challenges and how we

696
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,760
try and combat that through proper

697
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,760
programming and how we get to our people

698
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,640
that are kids that need the most help we

699
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,720
got a youth Justice Center chip a golf

700
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,559
ball down the street to it so I think

701
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,039
it's obviously been identified this as a

702
00:28:20,559 --> 00:28:24,799
crucial intervention it's very very

703
00:28:22,039 --> 00:28:26,120
important so I support developing that

704
00:28:24,799 --> 00:28:27,760
relationship and if there's anything I

705
00:28:26,120 --> 00:28:29,760

quality of services programming

00:30:33,919 --> 00:30:38,159
just like every other library in the

743
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:42,039
province of Ontario is held accountable

744
00:30:38,159 --> 00:30:44,640
by the Ontario public libraries act this

745
00:30:42,039 --> 00:30:47,480
act is what we are governed by

746
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:49,919
essentially it supports the provision of

747
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:52,960
equal and universal access to

748
00:30:49,919 --> 00:30:55,799
information and establishes free public

749
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:58,279
library services in Ontario through

750
00:30:55,799 --> 00:31:00,120
governance and regulation

751
00:30:58,279 --> 00:31:03,000
under the Ontario Public Library

752
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:05,360
Association public libraries must be

753
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:09,120
operated under the management and

754
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:11,440
control of a public library board the

755
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:14,279
board has the authority to make policies

756
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:17,600
about operations and services of the

757
00:31:14,279 --> 00:31:20,799
public library the board is responsible

758
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:24,320
for the oversight of its Library System

759
00:31:20,799 --> 00:31:28,159
it hires a CEO for example and the CEO

760
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:30,000
reports directly to the board the CEO's

761
00:31:28,159 --> 00:31:33,120
responsibilities are guided through

762
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:36,720
board policy and our strategic

763
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:39,559
plan the CEO is aware of Municipal

764
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:41,799
priorities and plans and works to build

765
00:31:39,559 --> 00:31:44,840
strong working relationships with the

766
00:31:41,799 --> 00:31:48,320

00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:51,200
the best possible Library service to our

handbook for municipal

774
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:08,399

at the sheet that you have in front of

800
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:16,080
you uh which is uh our proposed

801
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:19,440
operating budget for the canor public

802
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:22,760
library for the year

803
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:24,799
2024 first of all I'd like to uh say

804
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:29,080
that uh we are extremely thankful that

805
00:33:24,799 --> 00:33:31,840
our CEO uh is able to continue services

806
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:34,480
and programming with an extremely tight

807
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:36,720
budget for the most part you will notice

808
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:39,559
that the day to-day operations for both

809
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:43,240
branches is pretty are pretty constant

810
00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:46,080
save for a few areas that are beyond our

811
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:49,399
control the biggest increases in our

812
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:53,120
proposed budget you will see uh are

813
00:33:49,399 --> 00:33:55,639
salaries and uh benefits um you can see

814
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:57,919
this in both under the canora and the

815
00:33:55,639 --> 00:34:00,080
kitan branch expens

816
00:33:57,919 --> 00:34:02,880
so looking at the canor branch for

817
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:05,480
example these are showing an increase

818
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,480
from

819
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:11,119
54,9

820
00:34:07,639 --> 00:34:11,119
64 to

821
00:34:25,879 --> 00:34:31,800
$568,500 lines of expenses uh have is

822
00:34:29,679 --> 00:34:33,960
which is which are essentially what the

823
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:37,919
public sees when they walk through our

824
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:40,800
doors remain the same as our library

825
00:34:37,919 --> 00:34:43,639
Mission States the canora public library

826
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:46,280
aims to provide a welcoming safe and

827
00:34:43,639 --> 00:34:49,040
supportive environment that connects our

828
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:52,200
community and provides access to

829
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:54,879
resources for information enjoyment

830
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:58,079
cultural expression and the pursuit of

831
00:34:54,879 --> 00:35:00,760
lifelong learning our armored with this

832
00:34:58,079 --> 00:35:03,720
the canor public library is asking the

833
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:06,040
city of canor for an increase in funding

834
00:35:03,720 --> 00:35:06,040
from

835
00:35:07,119 --> 00:35:12,040
69,6 to

836
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,040
$762

837
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:20,560
396 we are very aware that this is a

838
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:22,640
significant financial request from us um

839
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:25,880
from previous

840
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:30,040
years and that that is mostly due as I

841
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:33,160
say to um salary and benefits the canora

842
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:35,839
public library is a refuge for unhoused

843
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:38,839

844
00:35:35,839 --> 00:35:41,839
come and get warm where they can read do

845
00:35:38,839 --> 00:35:44,160
a puzzle or play a game but most

846
00:35:41,839 --> 00:35:46,599
importantly access the computers in

847
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:49,680
order to stay connected to family or

848
00:35:46,599 --> 00:35:52,680
conduct business it's a place where many

849
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:56,319
who experience isolation discrimination

850
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:58,560
and Prejudice can find Refuge there are

851
00:35:56,319 --> 00:36:01,040
however increasing in incidents of

violence and Defiance which is

853
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:05,760
unfortunately happening in many

854
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,800
communities these days and we're very

00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:26,520
today that snow is coming so with that

929
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:28,920
right around the corner this would be a

930
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:31,119
great way for you and your family to

931
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:35,119

00:39:35,119 --> 00:39:41,880

935
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,960
also from our year in review and we

936
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:48,480
really like the way that Crystal has

937
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:51,640
done this because it's very eye-catching

938
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:54,440
but it's also very uh concise um that

939
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:58,720
the canor public library is a well-used

940
00:39:54,440 --> 00:40:01,240
vibrant place our 2023 statistics are

941
00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:03,280
showing that the trend is continuing and

942
00:40:01,240 --> 00:40:06,160
this is exactly what a public library

943
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:08,720
should be gone are the days of being

944
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:12,079
quiet all the time it's a place of

945
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:14,240
Discovery Community Learning and fun

946
00:40:12,079 --> 00:40:17,040

salary cost increase is

entire summer uh first things first that

1081
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:30,920
was the uh collection that the dougas

1082
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:34,079
family Art Center was really based on um

1083
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:35,559
back in 2014 looking all the way back uh

1084
00:46:34,079 --> 00:46:36,880
that's where things really got started

1085
00:46:35,559 --> 00:46:39,119
and it was the very first time we've

1086
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:41,160
been able to put the entire collection

1087
00:46:39,119 --> 00:46:42,920
completely on exhibit we were able to

1088
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:45,640
have our summer celebration which was

1089
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:47,880

1090
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:49,160

1091
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,960

1095
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,920

1192
00:50:42,079 --> 00:50:47,359

1205
00:51:10,119 --> 00:51:13,599
again very nice to see the two buildings

1206
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:15,559
being used in the community not

1207
00:51:13,599 --> 00:51:17,920
necessarily always for art or history

1208
00:51:15,559 --> 00:51:20,839
stuff but just for kind of good kind of

1211
00:51:24,319 --> 00:51:29,119
lucky to have uh support from variety of

1212
00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:30,760
donors uh this summer we launched a new

1213
00:51:29,119 --> 00:51:32,760

Community Foundation is about 1.3

1232
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:16,839

those funds coming back directly into us

1234
00:52:16,839 --> 00:52:22,599

00:52:22,599 --> 00:52:26,559
and and continuing to grow those funds

1237
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:29,119
so we continue to serve the community at

1238
00:52:26,559 --> 00:52:31,559
a subsidized rate from a programming

1239
00:52:29,119 --> 00:52:34,160
standpoint uh the art center had 36

now some of the classes were five weeks

1244

1245
00:52:44,079 --> 00:52:50,440
39 physical classes um but 39 sort of

00:54:20,720 --> 00:54:24,760
that will be the most we've ever had uh

1285
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:28,319
visitors from nine Canadian provinces

1286
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:30,079

at the museum for the entire year uh

1304
00:55:09,079 --> 00:55:11,760
will take a lot of pressure off me

1305
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:14,920
personally which will be great but also

1306
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:16,040
it offers a lot of uh different kind of

1307
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:18,240
perspectives and different ways of

1308
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:20,359
viewing things that are pretty exciting

1309
00:55:18,240 --> 00:55:22,680

00:55:20,359 --> 00:55:24,240

drawings and as a teaser our summer

1318
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:41,480
exhibit is going to be uh something that

1319
00:55:39,119 --> 00:55:43,000
will absolutely knock your socks off uh

1320
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,640
I don't want to describe the idea

1321
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,400
because it's never been done before I

1322
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,799
can talk to off mic about it and we

1323
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,799
don't want to get scooped by someone

1324
00:55:47,799 --> 00:55:53,520
who's a little ambitious um but you

1325
00:55:49,799 --> 00:55:55,400
never know uh what I will say is this

1326
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:57,839
exhibition has involved talking to

1327
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:59,799
experts across North America including

1328
00:55:57,839 --> 00:56:03,839
some literal rocket scientists at both

1329
00:55:59,799 --> 00:56:06,200
the Canadian space agency and at Nasa so

1330
00:56:03,839 --> 00:56:09,720
uh that will wet your whistle a bit for

1331
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:11,079
2024 so uh there is a a bit of an

1332
00:56:09,720 --> 00:56:14,760
increase as you can

1333
00:56:11,079 --> 00:56:17,720
see um we can go back and look at uh uh

1334
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:19,839
there was a very kind of generous

1335
00:56:17,720 --> 00:56:21,000
funding situation uh during the pandemic

1336
00:56:19,839 --> 00:56:24,319
from the provincial and federal

1337
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:27,280
government uh like in in many cases now

1338
00:56:24,319 --> 00:56:30,680
just as in is really starting to hit um

1339
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:32,359
that funding has dried up a bit um but

1340
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:34,480
uh you can see the numbers ahead of you

1341
00:56:32,359 --> 00:56:38,559
and uh and certainly I'm happy to talk

explanations or lines we have below that

1463
01:11:22,480 --> 01:11:27,760
um so that summary page you're looking

1464
01:11:25,159 --> 01:11:29,800
at the first page should have your um

1465
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:31,920
you know it's it's revenue and expenses

1466
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:33,560
there by category on the left hand side

1467
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:36,239
so you can see the the account

1468
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:39,719
categories they're rolled up um you can

1469
01:11:36,239 --> 01:11:41,600
see the 2022 actual uh which I remind

1470
01:11:39,719 --> 01:11:44,080
everyone is they're un audited you

1471
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:47,480
complete at this point in time the 23

1472
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:51,360
budget amount so that was the our last

1473
01:11:47,480 --> 01:11:54,719
adopted budget our draft is beside that

1474
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:57,560
um and then our forecast for 25 and 26

1475
01:11:54,719 --> 01:12:01,679
are there so you can get a a sense of

1476
01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:05,280
How It's laid out and the um information

1477
01:12:01,679 --> 01:12:07,719
there um it's important to note uh when

1478
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:12,080
we are always talking about uh percent

1479
01:12:07,719 --> 01:12:13,760
increases on the net tax levy um 1% is

1480
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:16,239
equivalent to

1481
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:18,360
379 uh sorry

1482
01:12:16,239 --> 01:12:22,520
3,079

1483
01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:25,320
$792 is 1% uh tax increase and that is

1484
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:28,600
uh driven from the 2023 budget adopted

1485
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:31,120
budget um so if you follow that 2023

1486
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:37,199
budget uh a line down to the bottoms the

1487
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:39,719
net total it's 30, 79,2 37 1% of that is

1488
01:12:37,199 --> 01:12:42,080
is the 300,000 so just so everybody's

1489
01:12:39,719 --> 01:12:43,800
clear on how how we kind of approach

1490
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:46,120
things and speak about you know percent

1491
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:46,120
tax

1492
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:52,199
increase um I guess I'd like to mention

1493
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:53,960
it's not U identified on the sheet uh

1494
01:12:52,199 --> 01:12:57,320
anywhere or the cumulative amount the

1495
01:12:53,960 --> 01:13:03,280
FTE the cumulative FTE I have are

1496
01:12:57,320 --> 01:13:03,280
182 um FTE uh for the operating uh

1497
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:11,679
departments excuse me so um if we just

1498
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:14,280
go I guess right now the 24 draft budget

1499
01:13:11,679 --> 01:13:16,120
is is sitting at 32

1500
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:21,120
m256

1501
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:26,560
377 which ultimately is a 7.24% increase

1502
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:28,520
over the 23 adopted bu buget um so the

1503
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:32,120
lines below are kind of kind of explain

1504
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:35,719
to uh explain how we where we started

1505
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:38,320
and how we got there got to where we are

1506
01:13:35,719 --> 01:13:42,600
um when we are looking at the budget we

1507
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:45,080
are starting with our our 20 our 23 for

1508
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:48,080
our for forecast for 24 I guess in the

1509
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:50,320
2023 budget so it's the adopted and

1510
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:51,800
principal forecasted amount so that's

1511
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:53,960
kind of like that's the amount that we

1512
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:57,880
started with um so that would have been

1513
01:13:53,960 --> 01:14:03,679
approved in the 2023 adopted budget for

1514
01:13:57,880 --> 01:14:05,440
24 and that amount was 33 Milli 395 311

1515
01:14:03,679 --> 01:14:07,520
which would have been 11% increase so

1516
01:14:05,440 --> 01:14:10,400
that's how we started the budget n

1517
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:13,360
Administration goes through uh refines

1518
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:16,320
estimates assumptions new information

1519
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:18,120
comes in we then uh apply those changes

1520
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:20,239
to the budget and and the those are the

1521
01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:23,000
following changes below here that get us

1522
01:14:20,239 --> 01:14:26,560
to the point we're at um so the first uh

1523
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:28,320
item we had was um the additional o the

1524
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:31,600
Ontario community infrastructure funding

1525
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:34,239
of 1.2 million so that was a consistent

1526
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:39,920
amount that we applied in there so that

1527
01:14:34,239 --> 01:14:41,199
um obviously brought down the um uh 11%

1528
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:46,600
down to

1529
01:14:41,199 --> 01:14:50,239
6.97 we have a gfl contract um included

1530
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:50,239
in here for 360,000

1531
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:56,000
um as part of the exercise

1532
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:58,920
uh Administration goes through and

1533
01:14:56,000 --> 01:15:01,000
reviews uh you know the budget very

1534
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:01,800
thoroughly in each department as part of

1535
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:04,679
the

1536
01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:07,080
exercise um a review of the reserves

1537
01:15:04,679 --> 01:15:10,520
were taken and so what that meant is

1538
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:13,719
that we looked at the balances um

1539
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:16,360
and applied a a a contribution holiday

1540
01:15:13,719 --> 01:15:18,920
onetime pause where appropriate based on

1541
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:20,440
the balance of the the reserve based on

1542
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:23,480
any recent spending that may have

1543
01:15:20,440 --> 01:15:24,880
occurred in that area and that resulted

1544
01:15:23,480 --> 01:15:28,199
in a

1545
01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:30,560
$370,000 $97 uh

1546
01:15:28,199 --> 01:15:33,719
reduction um so to name off a few of

1547
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:37,360
those reserves that we uh held on uh we

1548
01:15:33,719 --> 01:15:39,080
had uh succession planning um 30,000

1549
01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:41,480
docks and morph for

1550
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:44,679
18,000 uh pedestrian sidewalks for

1551
01:15:41,480 --> 01:15:48,040
10,000 Park aid for

1552
01:15:44,679 --> 01:15:52,199
191,000 uh wreck equipment uh

1553
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:53,960
46,000 and Muse and arts center uh for

1554
01:15:52,199 --> 01:15:56,560
75

1555
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:59,639
so those are the um Reserve areas that

1556
01:15:56,560 --> 01:16:03,480
we held on on uh as a onetime pause

1557
01:15:59,639 --> 01:16:05,600
based on balance and recent uh spending

1558
01:16:03,480 --> 01:16:09,280
uh that has occurred

1559
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:11,600
there now on top of that there was some

1560
01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:13,719
additional uh departmental reductions

1561
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:15,480
refinement of forecast and increases to

1562
01:16:13,719 --> 01:16:18,360
miscellaneous

1563
01:16:15,480 --> 01:16:20,760
expenses um so you have to remember in

1564
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:22,760
2023 when we were building that budget

1565
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:26,000
which would included the 24 forecast we

1566
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:29,480
were in High inflationary environment we

1567
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:30,679
had we were seeing uh rates of 8% at the

1568
01:16:29,480 --> 01:16:34,520
highest

1569
01:16:30,679 --> 01:16:37,280
and currently we're down to four 4% in

1570
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:41,320
August and uh most recently around 3%

1571
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:44,560
for September so it's definitely uh on

1572
01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:48,679
its way down um but I wouldn't say it's

1573
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:51,880
um pre pre pandemic levels Still Still

1574
01:16:48,679 --> 01:16:53,560
fairly high so what that means is well

1575
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:56,880
and on top of that there was a

1576
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:59,520
significant supply chain issues so what

1577
01:16:56,880 --> 01:17:00,840
that meant was you know those decisions

1578
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:02,679
when we were building the budget last

1579
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:05,199
year were being taken into account you

1580
01:17:02,679 --> 01:17:08,480
know High inflation what like we have

1581
01:17:05,199 --> 01:17:10,560
major um supply chain issues so some of

1582
01:17:08,480 --> 01:17:13,159
those assumptions have environments have

1583
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:16,000
drastically changed in this round for

1584
01:17:13,159 --> 01:17:17,639
our draft budget so we as

1585
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:21,000
administrations take took the most

1586
01:17:17,639 --> 01:17:25,400
current information we have and re re um

1587
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:27,840
readjust or refined our budgets as as

1588
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:29,040
required um so so that's what some of

1589
01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:33,159
the that's what these departmental

1590
01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:35,880
reductions are uh essentially um I'll

1591
01:17:33,159 --> 01:17:37,320
can give you some some examples um the

1592
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:39,199
departmental reduction so we have a

1593
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:41,080
small there a number of accounts look

1594
01:17:39,199 --> 01:17:44,040
small amounts but I'll try and pull out

1595
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:47,360
some of the bigger ones um a big one we

1596
01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:49,920
have this is the parts replacement um

1597
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:52,120
the Assumption was is that some of the

1598
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:54,400
items are uh little useful life is

1599
01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:56,800
lasting longer than expected and then

1600
01:17:54,400 --> 01:18:00,040
with the um supply chain coming back to

1601
01:17:56,800 --> 01:18:02,159
normal there's no real need to build in

1602
01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:04,560
like an internal inventory or stockpile

1603
01:18:02,159 --> 01:18:06,760
these parts we can still uh use the just

1604
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:10,000
in time and order from our suppliers and

1605
01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:14,120
get them in a in a a reasonable time so

1606
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:17,520
so that's a a change um we also inside

1607
01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:19,639
of our review we we constantly Challenge

1608
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:21,480
and um I guess only been here for a

1609
01:18:19,639 --> 01:18:23,600
couple years but I'm already seeing some

1610
01:18:21,480 --> 01:18:26,320
uh the new set of eyes on some of these

1611
01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:30,360
accounts and different approaches so for

1612
01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:32,600
example um you know we've we've gone to

1613
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:34,400
the use of this these markless pucks for

1614
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:37,560
example so which that means is it

1615
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:40,239
reduces the amount of broken glass and

1616
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:45,480
the rate cleaning is drastically reduced

1617
01:18:40,239 --> 01:18:49,080
so there's a cost uh savings there

1618
01:18:45,480 --> 01:18:51,360
um what else is here um oh so I can move

1619
01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:54,120
to the revenues um the refinement of

1620
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:56,880
revenues we have uh some of these things

1621
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:59,159
are just um based on the interest rates

1622
01:18:56,880 --> 01:19:01,920
because interest rates are higher uh

1623
01:18:59,159 --> 01:19:04,800
today than they were uh last last last

1624
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:07,080
year we're able to uh base some of those

1625
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:10,159
actuals um in terms of like our

1626
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:12,000
investment uh income is increasing

1627
01:19:10,159 --> 01:19:13,520
interest income based on our accounts so

1628
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:15,159
we have account balances that we hold

1629
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:17,360
and we generate interest because the

1630
01:19:15,159 --> 01:19:19,040
interest ratees going up we're able to

1631
01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:21,840
budget a little bit higher so that was a

1632
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:24,679
good example of a additional 50,000 we

1633
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:27,560
were able to uh bring into the the

1634
01:19:24,679 --> 01:19:30,800
revenues um we have some increase in

1635
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:32,560
Building Services uh revenues and some

1636
01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:33,480
increase in programming revenues in the

1637
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:37,480
rec

1638
01:19:33,480 --> 01:19:39,560
area so those are generally um those

1639
01:19:37,480 --> 01:19:41,280
types of items and really Ryan I just

1640
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:43,639
wanted to say th those are increases as

1641
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:46,400
a result of more volume more use not as

1642
01:19:43,639 --> 01:19:47,480
a result of changing uh rates or charges

1643
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:49,440
which is something that we'll talk about

1644
01:19:47,480 --> 01:19:51,440
in another day so just more building

1645
01:19:49,440 --> 01:19:53,400
permits more programming I just wanted

1646
01:19:51,440 --> 01:19:55,080
to make sure that was clear

1647
01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:56,960
absolutely that's a good point this the

1648
01:19:55,080 --> 01:20:00,360
budget doesn't um the draft budget

1649
01:19:56,960 --> 01:20:03,480
doesn't include any additional uh fees

1650
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:05,600
that are have not been approved um and

1651
01:20:03,480 --> 01:20:08,560
so it's a basically we try to keep it as

1652
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:11,880
a a base budget as possible no no change

1653
01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:11,880
in service no change in

1654
01:20:13,639 --> 01:20:18,560
fees um so if we're moving on in terms

1655
01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:19,639
of you know trying to demonstrate how we

1656
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:23,920
got to the

1657
01:20:19,639 --> 01:20:27,320
32.2 million we have Ontario Provincial

1658
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:31,440
Police uh increase of

1659
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:33,400
216,000 um it should be noted uh this is

1660
01:20:31,440 --> 01:20:35,360
the increase over the forecasted budget

1661
01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:37,400
that we had in from last year if we were

1662
01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:42,560
talking about the increase purely from

1663
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:45,280
2023 to 2024 it's around 938 th000 but

1664
01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:48,480
because we had um built into the

1665
01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:51,719
forecast the uh the billing without the

1666
01:20:48,480 --> 01:20:54,719
rebate and a regular 3% that's the

1667
01:20:51,719 --> 01:20:54,719
difference

1668
01:20:54,800 --> 01:21:00,000
and then finally we have uh the council

1669
01:20:57,600 --> 01:21:06,159
uh Council dire uh directed items from

1670
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:08,920
October 12 for $891,000 uh increasing um

1671
01:21:06,159 --> 01:21:13,920
to get us a net increase of 2.1 million

1672
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:17,239
uh with a s which equates to 7.24%

1673
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:20,080
increase so I I guess at that point that

1674
01:21:17,239 --> 01:21:24,639
is there any questions is that okay we

1675
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:24,639
just just there's any questions

1676
01:21:25,719 --> 01:21:33,800
uhy mayor uh so I just have one question

1677
01:21:30,679 --> 01:21:35,960
and uh on the departmental reductions I

1678
01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:39,120
I was making some notes here and that

1679
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:40,920
but uh like we did in 2023 and that I

1680
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:42,480
think there was like a listing and I

1681
01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:46,199
know there might be small amounts in

1682
01:21:42,480 --> 01:21:48,080
that but just um just so we can keep

1683
01:21:46,199 --> 01:21:52,400
things moving because that question will

1684
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:53,199
be asked so uh if you can provide that

1685
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:55,960
uh

1686
01:21:53,199 --> 01:21:58,440
that may answer some questions

1687
01:21:55,960 --> 01:22:00,320
about um what some counsel because we

1688
01:21:58,440 --> 01:22:02,120
have two that aren't here yeah In

1689
01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:05,400
fairness to them

1690
01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:06,880
uh um you know they may uh want that

1691
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:09,920
information that and I would actually

1692
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:11,400
like to see it myself uh and I'm not

1693
01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:13,480
worried about a couple dollars here and

1694
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:15,560
a couple dollars there but I I know you

1695
01:22:13,480 --> 01:22:18,679
talk about Parks talk about

1696
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:21,920
Recreation uh you know more so maybe

1697
01:22:18,679 --> 01:22:23,760
through efficiencies or whatever um but

1698
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:26,480
it would just be nice to see that and

1699
01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:28,960
have that as part of our overall

1700
01:22:26,480 --> 01:22:31,000
planning process through the budget okay

1701
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:32,080
I believe that with yeah we have to put

1702
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:34,639
something together I don't have

1703
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:37,120
something that's um ready for hand out

1704
01:22:34,639 --> 01:22:40,800
on yeah no no I just for

1705
01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:43,960
future okay for

1706
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:46,880
future um so as we go through the

1707
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:50,080
departmental uh explanations um of

1708
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:52,239
course some of those um refinements and

1709
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:54,920
reductions or or decreases are going to

1710
01:22:52,239 --> 01:22:57,920
be included in the departmental uh

1711
01:22:54,920 --> 01:23:00,080
function functional uh account

1712
01:22:57,920 --> 01:23:02,400
explanations um so it it's kind of a

1713
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:04,480
blend they may not pop out in terms of

1714
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:07,400
this was part of the overall reductions

1715
01:23:04,480 --> 01:23:10,800
but that they're inside of that uh that

1716
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:13,880
uh section okay so uh I guess we can

1717
01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:17,080
move on um so I'm on the corporate

1718
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:19,719
function um so this is uh this area

1719
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:22,199
generally holds um it's not specific to

1720
01:23:19,719 --> 01:23:23,239
any function or Department these items

1721
01:23:22,199 --> 01:23:25,120
are

1722
01:23:23,239 --> 01:23:27,480
you know not really specific they're

1723
01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:31,800
just generally um to you know for the

1724
01:23:27,480 --> 01:23:33,920
general city at at whole um so we have

1725
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:38,199
um in here we have a

1726
01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:40,840
reduction uh to the revenue um majority

1727
01:23:38,199 --> 01:23:42,600
of it is uh as a result of the one-time

1728
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:44,560
appropriation from the tax rebate

1729
01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:47,320
Reserve that we uh to provide fiscal

1730
01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:50,040
stabilization that we uh utilized last

1731
01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:52,880
year in order to reduce the uh tax

1732
01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:55,239
burden of 653,000

1733
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:57,600
we have some decrease in property tax

1734
01:23:55,239 --> 01:24:00,920
penalties and interests uh reflective of

1735
01:23:57,600 --> 01:24:03,560
actual experience so that's a a further

1736
01:24:00,920 --> 01:24:06,679
reduction um we have some increase in

1737
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:09,880
Revenue uh sponsorship the naming rates

1738
01:24:06,679 --> 01:24:12,040
revenue and um some increase in in in

1739
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:14,159
the interest income which would I

1740
01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:18,080
mentioned earlier uh that was the uh

1741
01:24:14,159 --> 01:24:23,120
interest in our bank accounts um uh we

1742
01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:26,880
have uh expense uh change here so um

1743
01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:30,159
last year we had taken a one-time pause

1744
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:32,639
on the contingency reserve um so this is

1745
01:24:30,159 --> 01:24:34,520
just bringing it back in and then we

1746
01:24:32,639 --> 01:24:36,960
also have some sponsorship commission

1747
01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:39,679
expenses uh that go along with the uh

1748
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:39,679
naming rights

1749
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:44,199
Revenue any

1750
01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:52,440
questions next section we have is a

1751
01:24:49,639 --> 01:24:56,639
general government um this is made up of

1752
01:24:52,440 --> 01:24:58,239
the Maring Council CAO uh HR Finance

1753
01:24:56,639 --> 01:25:01,239
Corporate

1754
01:24:58,239 --> 01:25:01,239
Services

1755
01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:05,800
um there's a a number of us that fall

1756
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:08,360
into this category so we may be uh

1757
01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:09,600
flipping back and forth to explain our

1758
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:13,639
specific

1759
01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:19,159
explanations um so no change in FTE here

1760
01:25:13,639 --> 01:25:22,000
33 uh FTE um and we have a a net

1761
01:25:19,159 --> 01:25:23,040
increase to the to the function uh over

1762
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:26,760
20

1763
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:30,040
3 so the first one um we have a decrease

1764
01:25:26,760 --> 01:25:33,360
in transfer from reserves

1765
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:36,280
um so there was a there's a succession

1766
01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:37,920
uh Reserve that was utilized last year

1767
01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:40,880
so there was Revenue that came in to

1768
01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:44,800
offset the succession of the Director of

1769
01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:47,760
Finance as well as um there

1770
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:50,159
was uh building uh Reserve that came in

1771
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:52,679
to uh support the heating and cooling

1772
01:25:50,159 --> 01:25:56,639
unit work at the city hall so those were

1773
01:25:52,679 --> 01:25:59,920
in for 23 not in for 24 that's those are

1774
01:25:56,639 --> 01:26:03,199
changes um we have and then we have just

1775
01:25:59,920 --> 01:26:05,960
some uh small volume uh decrease in uh

1776
01:26:03,199 --> 01:26:09,440
licenses there and then we'll move to

1777
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:12,119
the expenses and I'll turn it over to

1778
01:26:09,440 --> 01:26:14,280
Heather so the increase in software for

1779
01:26:12,119 --> 01:26:17,280
the file program user fees that's our

1780
01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:19,719
new that was a project uh for file

1781
01:26:17,280 --> 01:26:23,280
management electronic file management

1782
01:26:19,719 --> 01:26:26,400
system so moving from files and filing

1783
01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:29,199
cabinets to electronic file management

1784
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:31,239
so that is the annual um operating cost

1785
01:26:29,199 --> 01:26:34,280
for that program and the Microsoft

1786
01:26:31,239 --> 01:26:36,920
licenses are uh licenses which we now

1787
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:40,960
need to pay which we were not paying

1788
01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:40,960
previously for all of our Microsoft

1789
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:48,800
subscriptions so the CCTV that was a

1790
01:26:46,440 --> 01:26:51,840
division direction from the last uh

1791
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:54,199
October 12th council meeting of the uh

1792
01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:54,199
camer

1793
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:59,920
and okay so we saw an increase in salary

1794
01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:02,639
and benefits uh largely due to a

1795
01:26:59,920 --> 01:27:05,800
reduction in our vacancy management uh

1796
01:27:02,639 --> 01:27:07,199
there was a restatement of this FTE uh

1797
01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:09,679
that you'll you may note if you were

1798
01:27:07,199 --> 01:27:12,600
looking back at the 20123 adopted uh

1799
01:27:09,679 --> 01:27:14,400
budget uh this is uh to follow the

1800
01:27:12,600 --> 01:27:16,520
dollars that were approved for the

1801
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:18,000
community safety well-being coordinator

1802
01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:21,520
the dollars were included in the budget

1803
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:24,600
not the FTE so that was a restatement um

1804
01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:28,040
bring it from 3206 to

1805
01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:29,880
3306 uh there also is uh generally and

1806
01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:32,320
you'll see this happen in every

1807
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:34,320
Department uh there's a natural uh

1808
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:36,679
increase to salary and benefits due to

1809
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:40,040
steps uh changes in uh benefit

1810
01:27:36,679 --> 01:27:42,159
Provisions Etc um that occurred for uh

1811
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:44,239
this group as well uh in addition to

1812
01:27:42,159 --> 01:27:47,719
some labor costing and other General

1813
01:27:44,239 --> 01:27:49,320
increase um General increases off offset

1814
01:27:47,719 --> 01:27:51,719
by the redistribution of the

1815
01:27:49,320 --> 01:27:53,280
compensation review so if you recall

1816
01:27:51,719 --> 01:27:56,280
when the compensation review was

1817
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:58,960
approved it was all sitting in this one

1818
01:27:56,280 --> 01:28:00,800
Department that now was taken out and

1819
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:02,560
redistributed across all of the

1820
01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:04,920
Departments so that that funding that

1821
01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:06,719
was approved um has been pushed forward

1822
01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:08,239
so those are largely the increases that

1823
01:28:06,719 --> 01:28:09,840
you'll see is that distribution or

1824
01:28:08,239 --> 01:28:11,420
redistribution of the monies that were

1825
01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:13,719
approved last

1826
01:28:11,420 --> 01:28:17,080
[Music]

1827
01:28:13,719 --> 01:28:20,159
year uh the next thing we have is our um

1828
01:28:17,080 --> 01:28:24,080
computer maintenance uh increasing um

1829
01:28:20,159 --> 01:28:26,400
mainly uh the training laptop are on um

1830
01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:29,280
in the schedule to be replaced this is

1831
01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:32,239
the uh you know it follows the schedule

1832
01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:36,400
it's an evergreening process for all our

1833
01:28:32,239 --> 01:28:38,760
um um Hardware computer

1834
01:28:36,400 --> 01:28:41,520
hardware um so the next thing is

1835
01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:44,560
insurance claims so insurance claims

1836
01:28:41,520 --> 01:28:46,520
again another um uh well this is the

1837
01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:48,639
claims part I'll talk first about

1838
01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:51,199
premium so just you'll you will see an

1839
01:28:48,639 --> 01:28:52,880
increase uh reflected in all departments

1840
01:28:51,199 --> 01:28:55,480
that's to reflect the the increase that

1841
01:28:52,880 --> 01:29:00,440
was um came through in our renewal that

1842
01:28:55,480 --> 01:29:03,760
was a 28% increase a total of 15

1843
01:29:00,440 --> 01:29:06,080
55,000 uh we also have started to budget

1844
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:09,400
for claims so if there is a claim that

1845
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:12,639
we know um that is an active St State

1846
01:29:09,400 --> 01:29:15,440
and we uh are aware that um there is

1847
01:29:12,639 --> 01:29:18,440
going to be a deductible uh we have

1848
01:29:15,440 --> 01:29:19,920
budgeted for that so now um in terms of

1849
01:29:18,440 --> 01:29:22,040
following up on council's Direction

1850
01:29:19,920 --> 01:29:24,840
around you know what what do we not know

1851
01:29:22,040 --> 01:29:27,000
these are things that we will absolutely

1852
01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:29,360
uh start to show and plan for in terms

1853
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:29,360
of our

1854
01:29:32,119 --> 01:29:36,679
budget next item we have is the

1855
01:29:34,159 --> 01:29:39,119
increased donations to the physician uh

1856
01:29:36,679 --> 01:29:43,480
recruitment committee um that's going

1857
01:29:39,119 --> 01:29:46,080
from 25 to 40,000 uh that's built in we

1858
01:29:43,480 --> 01:29:47,760
have uh some increases for subscriptions

1859
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:49,840
and memberships for our professional

1860
01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:54,119
staff uh

1861
01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:56,480
designations of 6800 00 um then we have

1862
01:29:54,119 --> 01:29:57,840
um increased in administrative support

1863
01:29:56,480 --> 01:30:01,199
and overhead

1864
01:29:57,840 --> 01:30:04,119
recovery so what that is is the

1865
01:30:01,199 --> 01:30:07,400
allocation of the internal Services uh

1866
01:30:04,119 --> 01:30:10,119
out to the Departments uh uh this would

1867
01:30:07,400 --> 01:30:13,639
have been uh part of the utility costs

1868
01:30:10,119 --> 01:30:17,360
so uh it includes our customer services

1869
01:30:13,639 --> 01:30:20,800
Communications uh Human Resources it uh

1870
01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:23,840
support and finance so it's just um a

1871
01:30:20,800 --> 01:30:27,639
cost costing model to distribute the

1872
01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:29,800
actual internal um internal costs uh to

1873
01:30:27,639 --> 01:30:31,960
the Departments or to the

1874
01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:34,040
functions um then we have a decrease in

1875
01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:36,199
transfer to the reserve for sucession so

1876
01:30:34,040 --> 01:30:38,000
that was the one year uh onee pause I

1877
01:30:36,199 --> 01:30:40,239
had mentioned earlier on that's that's

1878
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:42,520
one of the res

1879
01:30:40,239 --> 01:30:45,560
reserves and then we have some decrease

1880
01:30:42,520 --> 01:30:48,320
in training uh so this is a a result of

1881
01:30:45,560 --> 01:30:50,040
online offers so this is something that

1882
01:30:48,320 --> 01:30:51,880
has changed and we are able to take

1883
01:30:50,040 --> 01:30:54,199
advantage in terms of reducing our

1884
01:30:51,880 --> 01:30:57,880
training uh in this area so we're able

1885
01:30:54,199 --> 01:31:00,719
to leverage um um online training

1886
01:30:57,880 --> 01:31:02,800
programs and versus actually having

1887
01:31:00,719 --> 01:31:04,800
people physically

1888
01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:06,119
attend so that that would be an

1889
01:31:04,800 --> 01:31:08,719
efficiency that would be something that

1890
01:31:06,119 --> 01:31:10,000
we'd be wouldn't have been contemplated

1891
01:31:08,719 --> 01:31:12,320
and then Roberto if you want to speak to

1892
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:15,679
the legal sure so we had a decrease in

1893
01:31:12,320 --> 01:31:18,560
the Human Resources legal uh budget uh

1894
01:31:15,679 --> 01:31:20,199
this is largely due to the positive uh

1895
01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:23,159
and continued collaboration that we're

1896
01:31:20,199 --> 01:31:25,440
seeing with our association Partners uh

1897
01:31:23,159 --> 01:31:27,639
we have been successful in resolving and

1898
01:31:25,440 --> 01:31:29,679
working together to address some issues

1899
01:31:27,639 --> 01:31:33,639
that were previously referred for to

1900
01:31:29,679 --> 01:31:35,960
arbitration um so this is a a positive

1901
01:31:33,639 --> 01:31:38,119
uh result of some of the resolution that

1902
01:31:35,960 --> 01:31:38,119
we

1903
01:31:42,080 --> 01:31:48,920
had so that would cover um the general

1904
01:31:46,440 --> 01:31:50,760
government section there's no questions

1905
01:31:48,920 --> 01:31:53,760
we can move on

1906
01:31:50,760 --> 01:31:53,760
sorry

1907
01:31:53,800 --> 01:32:00,639
no you go ahead uh I just wondered if it

1908
01:31:56,239 --> 01:32:02,560
would be possible um sorry when we're

1909
01:32:00,639 --> 01:32:04,679
looking at these and they say increase

1910
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:08,000
or decrease and whatever is it possible

1911
01:32:04,679 --> 01:32:09,880
to see the the number the total number

1912
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:11,679
that reflects the increase or

1913
01:32:09,880 --> 01:32:15,119
decrease um when we're doing the

1914
01:32:11,679 --> 01:32:18,320
statements we've we've um looked at

1915
01:32:15,119 --> 01:32:21,159
trying to do that the the the issue is

1916
01:32:18,320 --> 01:32:23,000
is that it's there's it's it's a massive

1917
01:32:21,159 --> 01:32:26,159
amount of

1918
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:28,400
so it's difficult to to provide that

1919
01:32:26,159 --> 01:32:30,320
information at this point

1920
01:32:28,400 --> 01:32:32,320
unfortunately that a tremendous amount

1921
01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:35,239
of Labor yeah I mean we could do it it's

1922
01:32:32,320 --> 01:32:39,719
just I mean it's a lot of effort uh

1923
01:32:35,239 --> 01:32:41,679
manual effort to kind of sort it okay um

1924
01:32:39,719 --> 01:32:44,600
is there a specific item or account that

1925
01:32:41,679 --> 01:32:46,480
maybe I could help I mean not

1926
01:32:44,600 --> 01:32:49,360
necessarily I just you know when I'm

1927
01:32:46,480 --> 01:32:51,800
looking at an an increase

1928
01:32:49,360 --> 01:32:52,880
of call it I'm just looking at this this

1929
01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:56,800
page so it's

1930
01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:58,960
6,886 like what is the overall budget

1931
01:32:56,800 --> 01:33:00,880
for that like what is the number you

1932
01:32:58,960 --> 01:33:02,719
know like just looking at an increase or

1933
01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:05,320
decrease of a particular number doesn't

1934
01:33:02,719 --> 01:33:07,000
give me a good understanding of what

1935
01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:09,199
we're already spending on that and if I

1936
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:12,920
feel good about increasing

1937
01:33:09,199 --> 01:33:15,360
it okay does that make sense yes ABS I

1938
01:33:12,920 --> 01:33:18,040
know that it gives it more

1939
01:33:15,360 --> 01:33:19,040
perspective yes I think um I think

1940
01:33:18,040 --> 01:33:21,280
that's definitely something we've been

1941
01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:24,600
struggling with trying to provide that

1942
01:33:21,280 --> 01:33:27,920
with you know in um a streamlined format

1943
01:33:24,600 --> 01:33:30,840
that's not heavily burdensome on the

1944
01:33:27,920 --> 01:33:32,719
staff um so so definitely hear that and

1945
01:33:30,840 --> 01:33:35,520
take that away

1946
01:33:32,719 --> 01:33:37,800
thanks so Council Manson did you have no

1947
01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:39,480
I didn't so Council yeah so I was just

1948
01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:42,320
going to say and again I'm not doing

1949
01:33:39,480 --> 01:33:45,480
words anymore but just to have a um kind

1950
01:33:42,320 --> 01:33:48,119
of a uh a demarcation point so you don't

1951
01:33:45,480 --> 01:33:50,199
have to detail all the accounts speaking

1952
01:33:48,119 --> 01:33:51,920
for myself but you know just so what

1953
01:33:50,199 --> 01:33:53,560
we're paying not currently paying what

1954
01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:55,800
the increase is that I think that would

1955
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:58,159
be beneficial for me that that's what I

1956
01:33:55,800 --> 01:34:02,480
mean yeah yeah so I don't to be clear

1957
01:33:58,159 --> 01:34:03,920
I'm not asking to list the whatever u

1958
01:34:02,480 --> 01:34:06,320
toal c

1959
01:34:03,920 --> 01:34:07,800
or whatever case but just a starting

1960
01:34:06,320 --> 01:34:10,719
point so we have a point of reference

1961
01:34:07,800 --> 01:34:13,320
might be that's not and again I defer

1962
01:34:10,719 --> 01:34:15,800
you both want to work involved in that

1963
01:34:13,320 --> 01:34:17,480
or even if you give us an

1964
01:34:15,800 --> 01:34:19,639
approximate

1965
01:34:17,480 --> 01:34:22,400
um put a point of reference of what

1966
01:34:19,639 --> 01:34:24,679
we're currently paying and then the

1967
01:34:22,400 --> 01:34:27,320
said what's the let we know this is

1968
01:34:24,679 --> 01:34:31,560
$6,800 here what we're increasing it

1969
01:34:27,320 --> 01:34:33,360
from what is it 100,000 50,000 30,000 so

1970
01:34:31,560 --> 01:34:35,920
yeah the subscriptions could be could be

1971
01:34:33,360 --> 01:34:37,520
could be uh beneficial to put it in

1972
01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:40,760
context and then we could answer those

1973
01:34:37,520 --> 01:34:44,480
questions too right that's questions

1974
01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:47,600
supped us be very simple

1975
01:34:44,480 --> 01:34:49,280
to okay so just for a little bit more

1976
01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:51,000
perspective we used to have you know

1977
01:34:49,280 --> 01:34:52,280
there's hundreds and hundreds and

1978
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:55,280
hundreds and

1979
01:34:52,280 --> 01:34:58,360
so going from that approach to this

1980
01:34:55,280 --> 01:35:00,760
approach um you know it's tough because

1981
01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:03,159
you'd see all the the increases

1982
01:35:00,760 --> 01:35:05,119
decreases on a very micro level and so

1983
01:35:03,159 --> 01:35:08,040
you know now we're trying to Ru it up

1984
01:35:05,119 --> 01:35:09,639
it's it's quite labor intensive Ryan

1985
01:35:08,040 --> 01:35:12,440
would have to go in and individually

1986
01:35:09,639 --> 01:35:14,000
manually pull each account do do the you

1987
01:35:12,440 --> 01:35:16,440
know that math on the calculator the

1988
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:18,080
adding machine so it's I don't know Ryan

1989
01:35:16,440 --> 01:35:19,760
if you want to kind of just speak sort

1990
01:35:18,080 --> 01:35:21,560
of about the chart of accounts itself or

1991
01:35:19,760 --> 01:35:22,400
just the software that we're using with

1992
01:35:21,560 --> 01:35:23,480
because this is something that we're

1993
01:35:22,400 --> 01:35:25,639
struggling with I know it's something

1994
01:35:23,480 --> 01:35:27,080
that councelor mon has brought up as

1995
01:35:25,639 --> 01:35:28,159
well and I understand why it's important

1996
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:30,360
to council and we're just trying to

1997
01:35:28,159 --> 01:35:32,159
figure out how to get through there the

1998
01:35:30,360 --> 01:35:33,560
quickest way possible without I just

1999
01:35:32,159 --> 01:35:35,679
want to say I'm all about efficiencies

2000
01:35:33,560 --> 01:35:39,199
and I'm not trying to make more work for

2001
01:35:35,679 --> 01:35:41,159
no good reason so honest question I'm

2002
01:35:39,199 --> 01:35:43,960
I'm totally I want the middle ground

2003
01:35:41,159 --> 01:35:47,040
here whatever's whatever addresses that

2004
01:35:43,960 --> 01:35:48,639
need and is most efficient organization

2005
01:35:47,040 --> 01:35:50,280
Point yeah just the two things that I

2006
01:35:48,639 --> 01:35:52,080
wanted Council to know is just you know

2007
01:35:50,280 --> 01:35:54,000
if we could could get that easily for

2008
01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:57,199
you you know we would do it and we're

2009
01:35:54,000 --> 01:36:02,119
trying to find a way through that issue

2010
01:35:57,199 --> 01:36:04,719
thanks thank thanks there um so I I

2011
01:36:02,119 --> 01:36:06,440
think that's a good request and when I'm

2012
01:36:04,719 --> 01:36:09,119
looking at and I don't want to go back

2013
01:36:06,440 --> 01:36:11,480
to the old way with the binder G with

2014
01:36:09,119 --> 01:36:13,320
because I know what you're referring to

2015
01:36:11,480 --> 01:36:15,000
uh but I think in a case like this and

2016
01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:17,679
in the environment we're in the year

2017
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:20,280
we're in with what the budget's looking

2018
01:36:17,679 --> 01:36:22,520
at right now I don't I don't I

2019
01:36:20,280 --> 01:36:25,840
personally agree I don't feel it's a

2020
01:36:22,520 --> 01:36:28,000
it's a uh it's a Monumental task to have

2021
01:36:25,840 --> 01:36:29,600
another column in there and you can have

2022
01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:32,239
20

2023
01:36:29,600 --> 01:36:35,239
2023 budget allocation whatever you want

2024
01:36:32,239 --> 01:36:38,280
to and another column and again I'll go

2025
01:36:35,239 --> 01:36:42,960
back and use I think Council Bernie us

2026
01:36:38,280 --> 01:36:45,679
or Council cot us subscriptions okay if

2027
01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:48,119
if you know if the if the budgeted

2028
01:36:45,679 --> 01:36:51,119
amount in that not all the detail but

2029
01:36:48,119 --> 01:36:54,400
the final budget amount under that line

2030
01:36:51,119 --> 01:36:56,600
was was $30,000 it I agree it' be nice

2031
01:36:54,400 --> 01:37:00,080
to see that because you want

2032
01:36:56,600 --> 01:37:03,119
to you want to take that and you want to

2033
01:37:00,080 --> 01:37:06,440
align it with uh so if it if it is an

2034
01:37:03,119 --> 01:37:09,440
increase and it's an increase on

2035
01:37:06,440 --> 01:37:11,840
$125,000 um may have a difference than

2036
01:37:09,440 --> 01:37:15,679
if it's an increase on

2037
01:37:11,840 --> 01:37:17,440
15,000 um and again just setting U

2038
01:37:15,679 --> 01:37:19,960
everybody up and that again there's two

2039
01:37:17,440 --> 01:37:23,320
counselors aren't here I don't know what

2040
01:37:19,960 --> 01:37:25,400
their thinking is on on this also but it

2041
01:37:23,320 --> 01:37:28,719
may circumvent additional questions it

2042
01:37:25,400 --> 01:37:31,000
may help to uh move things along a

2043
01:37:28,719 --> 01:37:33,280
little quicker at least when you uh you

2044
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:35,800
know having a little more bit more

2045
01:37:33,280 --> 01:37:39,880
information is not a bad thing uh

2046
01:37:35,800 --> 01:37:42,320
without creating a you know Monumental

2047
01:37:39,880 --> 01:37:44,599
amount of additional work it's not our

2048
01:37:42,320 --> 01:37:48,840
some what we're trying to do but uh

2049
01:37:44,599 --> 01:37:51,719
having enough information to um you know

2050
01:37:48,840 --> 01:37:53,760
see what was there in the past budget

2051
01:37:51,719 --> 01:37:55,400
helps with our I think it helps with our

2052
01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:57,840
decision

2053
01:37:55,400 --> 01:37:59,320
making thanks I mean what we're talking

2054
01:37:57,840 --> 01:38:01,000
about here in terms of these budgeting

2055
01:37:59,320 --> 01:38:02,840
or are variances so even if it's a

2056
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:04,840
percentage in addition to the dollar

2057
01:38:02,840 --> 01:38:06,520
amount it will help us understand if

2058
01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:08,880
some of these variances are significant

2059
01:38:06,520 --> 01:38:11,560
and one that like as an example the

2060
01:38:08,880 --> 01:38:14,159
increase in insurance claims of 26,000

2061
01:38:11,560 --> 01:38:16,239
is that from going from 2500 to 26,000

2062
01:38:14,159 --> 01:38:18,080
in one year or is that a minimal amount

2063
01:38:16,239 --> 01:38:20,320
compared to what the average is so it'll

2064
01:38:18,080 --> 01:38:21,599
help us sort of flag what maybe areas

2065
01:38:20,320 --> 01:38:23,679
are problematic whether there's

2066
01:38:21,599 --> 01:38:25,520
additional risk or issues that we could

2067
01:38:23,679 --> 01:38:28,400
also address perhaps through policy as

2068
01:38:25,520 --> 01:38:30,199
we look forward so that's just myed to

2069
01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:32,360
and and that's a really good example I

2070
01:38:30,199 --> 01:38:34,920
apologize to the chair um that's a

2071
01:38:32,360 --> 01:38:37,440
really good example of something that um

2072
01:38:34,920 --> 01:38:40,320
hits organizationally and is distributed

2073
01:38:37,440 --> 01:38:42,520
across uh the areas so when I give the

2074
01:38:40,320 --> 01:38:44,719
percentage in at you know at the

2075
01:38:42,520 --> 01:38:46,639
beginning uh there is that plus and

2076
01:38:44,719 --> 01:38:49,800
minus that is happening that is kind of

2077
01:38:46,639 --> 01:38:51,280
spread out um but I think we will you

2078
01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:53,599
know in that case we'll be able to to

2079
01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:56,719
try to highlight what the impact is

2080
01:38:53,599 --> 01:38:59,000
without getting into exactly the the

2081
01:38:56,719 --> 01:39:00,560
specifics so so thanks very much so I

2082
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:02,000
know Council Mon's not here but I know

2083
01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:03,119
I've had conversations with her she's

2084
01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:05,400
brought those up in meeting I've heard

2085
01:39:03,119 --> 01:39:06,599
from a majority of council so Ryan and I

2086
01:39:05,400 --> 01:39:09,159
are going to take this away and try to

2087
01:39:06,599 --> 01:39:11,480
figure out how we we can get those

2088
01:39:09,159 --> 01:39:11,480
numbers

2089
01:39:13,639 --> 01:39:23,760
forward um any other questions

2090
01:39:18,119 --> 01:39:24,880
on feral government you finished onl yes

2091
01:39:23,760 --> 01:39:27,639
yes I

2092
01:39:24,880 --> 01:39:31,400
am I'm done yeah moving to uh protection

2093
01:39:27,639 --> 01:39:31,400
would be the next

2094
01:39:37,920 --> 01:39:43,480
question certainly I'll uh I'll try and

2095
01:39:40,920 --> 01:39:47,320
speak to the uh the explanation of

2096
01:39:43,480 --> 01:39:49,560
changes from 23 adopted to 24 grafts so

2097
01:39:47,320 --> 01:39:51,280
uh as Council would recall we brought

2098
01:39:49,560 --> 01:39:53,080
forward the lease agreement at station

2099
01:39:51,280 --> 01:39:55,840
number two last month so that's an

2100
01:39:53,080 --> 01:39:57,840
increase of $11,000 a month for the

2101
01:39:55,840 --> 01:39:58,719
training room and the agreement with St

2102
01:39:57,840 --> 01:40:02,360
John's

2103
01:39:58,719 --> 01:40:04,599
ambulance uh the I'm not sure if

2104
01:40:02,360 --> 01:40:08,440
somebody wants to speak to the forecast

2105
01:40:04,599 --> 01:40:10,320
and volume licenses yeah that there's uh

2106
01:40:08,440 --> 01:40:12,040
that's exactly what that is it's a in

2107
01:40:10,320 --> 01:40:14,599
forecasted sales volume of annal

2108
01:40:12,040 --> 01:40:17,199
Services licensing and fees uh for

2109
01:40:14,599 --> 01:40:19,960
$3,200 uh so it's additional Revenue

2110
01:40:17,199 --> 01:40:24,239
there as well so that's as simple as

2111
01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:27,360
that okay thank you if we uh move to

2112
01:40:24,239 --> 01:40:29,639
expenses uh the first line is the as per

2113
01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:31,679
the October 12th council meeting the 1%

2114
01:40:29,639 --> 01:40:33,360
dedicated tax increase to the vehicle

2115
01:40:31,679 --> 01:40:37,199
equipment replacement

2116
01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:39,320
Reserve RTA if you can speak to the so

2117
01:40:37,199 --> 01:40:41,119
uh again there's increases to General

2118
01:40:39,320 --> 01:40:43,960
increases to salary and benefits due to

2119
01:40:41,119 --> 01:40:45,960
regular steps um pension and other types

2120
01:40:43,960 --> 01:40:49,000
of increase you will note that there was

2121
01:40:45,960 --> 01:40:52,520
an ft re restatement this is due to our

2122
01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:56,400
paid per call firefighters so previously

2123
01:40:52,520 --> 01:41:00,199
we had um reflected one FTE with a just

2124
01:40:56,400 --> 01:41:02,040
a dollar amount we've now um articulated

2125
01:41:00,199 --> 01:41:04,440
what that dollar amount would equal in

2126
01:41:02,040 --> 01:41:06,560
terms of a full-time equivalent or

2127
01:41:04,440 --> 01:41:07,679
effort of the work so this is just an

2128
01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:10,560
effort to be a little bit more

2129
01:41:07,679 --> 01:41:11,920
transparent in terms of uh what how many

2130
01:41:10,560 --> 01:41:15,199
hours or how many e you know what the

2131
01:41:11,920 --> 01:41:15,199
effort is behind the lump sum

2132
01:41:16,159 --> 01:41:21,679
dollar and then Ryan would you speak to

2133
01:41:18,520 --> 01:41:23,880
just about the aerial truck debt

2134
01:41:21,679 --> 01:41:25,520
yes exactly so what's happened there is

2135
01:41:23,880 --> 01:41:28,480
we've got a reduction in uh principal

2136
01:41:25,520 --> 01:41:31,639
and interest payments uh the aerial fire

2137
01:41:28,480 --> 01:41:35,360
truck uh the debts matured so that

2138
01:41:31,639 --> 01:41:37,840
additional uh 57 648 has been um

2139
01:41:35,360 --> 01:41:40,080
decreased uh because because the Deb's

2140
01:41:37,840 --> 01:41:41,599
complete um so that that's what is it's

2141
01:41:40,080 --> 01:41:45,679
reached this

2142
01:41:41,599 --> 01:41:47,880
term thank you uh similar to our uh

2143
01:41:45,679 --> 01:41:49,400
bringing forward to council the the

2144
01:41:47,880 --> 01:41:52,119
critical risk assessment and master

2145
01:41:49,400 --> 01:41:55,000
service fire plan uh in talking with the

2146
01:41:52,119 --> 01:41:57,520
uh CAO and the senior leadership I'm

2147
01:41:55,000 --> 01:41:59,800
requesting uh that we redo our emergency

2148
01:41:57,520 --> 01:42:02,480
response plan bring in a contractor and

2149
01:41:59,800 --> 01:42:05,440
uh actually redo that plan so that one

2150
01:42:02,480 --> 01:42:07,920
we're up to date to Emergency Management

2151
01:42:05,440 --> 01:42:10,040
standards uh I think the document is

2152
01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:13,560
very cumbersome the way it currently

2153
01:42:10,040 --> 01:42:15,360
sits and uh does not reflect the

2154
01:42:13,560 --> 01:42:18,560
principles in Emergency Management which

2155
01:42:15,360 --> 01:42:19,320
is uh IMS uh which is mandated through

2156
01:42:18,560 --> 01:42:21,880
the

2157
01:42:19,320 --> 01:42:25,719
province uh the other one that kind of

2158
01:42:21,880 --> 01:42:27,760
affects the budget is the uh I'm going

2159
01:42:25,719 --> 01:42:29,560
to label it under Contracting Services

2160
01:42:27,760 --> 01:42:32,360
there it talks about the m&f agreement

2161
01:42:29,560 --> 01:42:33,880
so that if you recall in uh March we

2162
01:42:32,360 --> 01:42:36,480
brought forward and we've got a new

2163
01:42:33,880 --> 01:42:38,199
fiveyear agreement with the m&f for uh

2164
01:42:36,480 --> 01:42:40,159
where they Pro provide protection

2165
01:42:38,199 --> 01:42:44,119
throughout the municipality that was

2166
01:42:40,159 --> 01:42:46,760
about a $5,400 increase

2167
01:42:44,119 --> 01:42:49,360
and I'm kind of particular with all the

2168
01:42:46,760 --> 01:42:51,560
invoices that cross my desk so I've

2169
01:42:49,360 --> 01:42:53,320
looked at what we'll call contracted

2170
01:42:51,560 --> 01:42:55,440
services and all the different bills I

2171
01:42:53,320 --> 01:42:59,360
get based on what's in the budgeted line

2172
01:42:55,440 --> 01:43:00,400
item so the rest of that is just more to

2173
01:42:59,360 --> 01:43:03,679
to

2174
01:43:00,400 --> 01:43:05,920
act accurately reflect what is what

2175
01:43:03,679 --> 01:43:08,920
we're actually paying out so okay for

2176
01:43:05,920 --> 01:43:11,040
example we pay CAC uh which is our

2177
01:43:08,920 --> 01:43:14,199
dispatcher we pay the province for use

2178
01:43:11,040 --> 01:43:18,159
of radio uh you know radio communication

2179
01:43:14,199 --> 01:43:20,239
systems we pay extend Communications to

2180
01:43:18,159 --> 01:43:21,199
you know help us do our scheduling and

2181
01:43:20,239 --> 01:43:23,320
uh

2182
01:43:21,199 --> 01:43:25,520
staff so the reflection of that

2183
01:43:23,320 --> 01:43:27,800
additional funds is just to act

2184
01:43:25,520 --> 01:43:30,239
accurately capture what we uh spend in

2185
01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:32,800
in contract and services throughout the

2186
01:43:30,239 --> 01:43:35,280
year Insurance uh so there was an

2187
01:43:32,800 --> 01:43:38,000
increase in Insurance uh and you can see

2188
01:43:35,280 --> 01:43:40,719
the amount there largely one of the uh

2189
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:43,440
largest areas that were hit during our

2190
01:43:40,719 --> 01:43:45,040
um pre our renewal was property and

2191
01:43:43,440 --> 01:43:45,719
property went up across the board at

2192
01:43:45,040 --> 01:43:48,800
about

2193
01:43:45,719 --> 01:43:50,679
$100,000 uh uh for the city also our

2194
01:43:48,800 --> 01:43:53,080
building coverage and contents in

2195
01:43:50,679 --> 01:43:55,040
increase and that there were elements

2196
01:43:53,080 --> 01:43:56,880
within the fire service uh that

2197
01:43:55,040 --> 01:43:58,920
specifically increased in terms of our

2198
01:43:56,880 --> 01:44:00,199
contents the way we were describing it I

2199
01:43:58,920 --> 01:44:02,119
will say that the chief and I are

2200
01:44:00,199 --> 01:44:04,719
working going to be working on uh

2201
01:44:02,119 --> 01:44:06,239
looking at uh evaluating some of the

2202
01:44:04,719 --> 01:44:08,360
contents and the way our insurance is

2203
01:44:06,239 --> 01:44:10,960
going for the Fire Halls especially the

2204
01:44:08,360 --> 01:44:13,800
Halls that are um Station 2 and station

2205
01:44:10,960 --> 01:44:15,840
three uh so that we can better reflect

2206
01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:17,920
the uh contents and just see if there's

2207
01:44:15,840 --> 01:44:22,159
a different way of costing so that's

2208
01:44:17,920 --> 01:44:25,000
what that increase was about

2209
01:44:22,159 --> 01:44:28,599
and I think utilities is again just

2210
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:30,480
across the board for all uh All City

2211
01:44:28,599 --> 01:44:33,080
facilities so that would be an increase

2212
01:44:30,480 --> 01:44:35,400
in the three Fire Halls uh the decrease

2213
01:44:33,080 --> 01:44:39,000
in materials in supplies kind of ties

2214
01:44:35,400 --> 01:44:41,360
back to uh the $188,000 reduction that

2215
01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:43,880
we talked on the first page the CAO

2216
01:44:41,360 --> 01:44:46,239
asked uh you know to kind of sharpen the

2217
01:44:43,880 --> 01:44:49,000
pencil and find find some money so

2218
01:44:46,239 --> 01:44:51,119
that's actually a reduction in our uh

2219
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:53,960
fire equipment and Communications

2220
01:44:51,119 --> 01:44:57,400
budget line item um and then the

2221
01:44:53,960 --> 01:44:58,280
training I believe is that uh that's to

2222
01:44:57,400 --> 01:45:01,040
do with

2223
01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:03,119
building oh byw sorry

2224
01:45:01,040 --> 01:45:06,960
Heather uh the

2225
01:45:03,119 --> 01:45:10,560
train sorry standard certifications um

2226
01:45:06,960 --> 01:45:15,480
that was we had that budgeted for uh

2227
01:45:10,560 --> 01:45:15,480
because there's change in staff in byw

2228
01:45:19,480 --> 01:45:23,599
area

2229
01:45:21,280 --> 01:45:27,320
be happy your worship if there's any

2230
01:45:23,599 --> 01:45:27,320
questions to council questions

2231
01:45:28,480 --> 01:45:33,920
Council so when I went through this the

2232
01:45:31,719 --> 01:45:36,000
first thing that uh popped under

2233
01:45:33,920 --> 01:45:39,000
expenses and that was an increase in

2234
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:40,520
Appropriations to reserve so the 300,000

2235
01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:42,800
but at the same time when we went back

2236
01:45:40,520 --> 01:45:47,400
to the debt schedule uh cuz I think we

2237
01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:49,119
had that in an email uh from Ry uh this

2238
01:45:47,400 --> 01:45:53,599
57

2239
01:45:49,119 --> 01:45:56,840
,000 whatever coming off in that

2240
01:45:53,599 --> 01:46:00,679
um so I guess what I'm I guess what I'm

2241
01:45:56,840 --> 01:46:03,760
asking here is uh why w't we like an

2242
01:46:00,679 --> 01:46:06,880
increase in Appropriations to reserves

2243
01:46:03,760 --> 01:46:09,040
um the 300,000 that why could we just

2244
01:46:06,880 --> 01:46:11,480
take the N of that to increase on an

2245
01:46:09,040 --> 01:46:11,480
annual

2246
01:46:11,920 --> 01:46:18,040
basis I'm throwing that up no I just

2247
01:46:14,239 --> 01:46:20,080
wanted to redirect that to the I I can't

2248
01:46:18,040 --> 01:46:24,080
absolutely I'm going to throw all those

2249
01:46:20,080 --> 01:46:26,080
kind of questions out uh to look at uh

2250
01:46:24,080 --> 01:46:28,719
we asked you to make efficiencies I

2251
01:46:26,080 --> 01:46:31,719
think as Council uh if we can come up

2252
01:46:28,719 --> 01:46:34,920
with other ideas how to fund some of our

2253
01:46:31,719 --> 01:46:39,080
uh some of the ones that we've uh

2254
01:46:34,920 --> 01:46:40,840
We've technically approved to dat then

2255
01:46:39,080 --> 01:46:44,320
that that's where that would come from

2256
01:46:40,840 --> 01:46:46,520
so yeah absolutely if if you we

2257
01:46:44,320 --> 01:46:50,000
Administration can go back and if that's

2258
01:46:46,520 --> 01:46:51,840
the direction uh to revise the funding

2259
01:46:50,000 --> 01:46:54,199
model in terms of you're you're speaking

2260
01:46:51,840 --> 01:46:57,280
to the replace vehicle replacement

2261
01:46:54,199 --> 01:46:59,280
Reserve well the in our last meeting

2262
01:46:57,280 --> 01:47:01,560
that where there was a request through a

2263
01:46:59,280 --> 01:47:03,679
report yeah on the capital side for the

2264
01:47:01,560 --> 01:47:03,679
$

2265
01:47:03,920 --> 01:47:10,840
3,792 correct um yeah just like if the

2266
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:14,520
net after taking off a debt payment

2267
01:47:10,840 --> 01:47:17,880
that's retired on the uh on the on the

2268
01:47:14,520 --> 01:47:21,280
aerial truck um if if the difference

2269
01:47:17,880 --> 01:47:24,880
could fund these ongoing

2270
01:47:21,280 --> 01:47:26,679
um requests for c replacement because I

2271
01:47:24,880 --> 01:47:29,480
believe that's what the nature of the

2272
01:47:26,679 --> 01:47:32,119
increas was about that's all I'm just

2273
01:47:29,480 --> 01:47:34,040
I'm bringing it up uh as you know

2274
01:47:32,119 --> 01:47:36,239
something I noticed when I was going

2275
01:47:34,040 --> 01:47:37,800
through the sheet so so that's already

2276
01:47:36,239 --> 01:47:40,840
kind of occurring with what's happening

2277
01:47:37,800 --> 01:47:44,400
so $57,000 in debt is falling off and

2278
01:47:40,840 --> 01:47:47,480
then 300 is coming on so it's already W

2279
01:47:44,400 --> 01:47:51,560
know it is here on the budget it isn't

2280
01:47:47,480 --> 01:47:53,560
on on the increase in tax on the inas in

2281
01:47:51,560 --> 01:47:56,400
uh money that you're that you're

2282
01:47:53,560 --> 01:48:00,000
requesting to uh you're asking for

2283
01:47:56,400 --> 01:48:02,599
$300,000 more all I'm saying is could

2284
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:06,440
this instead of that $300,000 request on

2285
01:48:02,599 --> 01:48:10,080
an annual basis um could it be $ 300,000

2286
01:48:06,440 --> 01:48:12,560
minus what we you've been uh you've been

2287
01:48:10,080 --> 01:48:15,400
allocating to debt repayment for the

2288
01:48:12,560 --> 01:48:19,000
aerial truck that's all I'm just so say

2289
01:48:15,400 --> 01:48:21,480
it's 250 for argument sake or whatever

2290
01:48:19,000 --> 01:48:23,080
um you know could that request could

2291
01:48:21,480 --> 01:48:27,400
that become the new

2292
01:48:23,080 --> 01:48:29,400
request and and and facilitate what your

2293
01:48:27,400 --> 01:48:31,840
requirements are that's okay so that's a

2294
01:48:29,400 --> 01:48:34,040
separate item than deciding to utilize

2295
01:48:31,840 --> 01:48:35,960
debt to purchase the vehicle I

2296
01:48:34,040 --> 01:48:39,080
understand this but my question I think

2297
01:48:35,960 --> 01:48:40,280
is a is a little bit different so in the

2298
01:48:39,080 --> 01:48:45,000
summary

2299
01:48:40,280 --> 01:48:48,119
sheet you know you have $891,000

2300
01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:54,080
8,100 yeah

2301
01:48:48,119 --> 01:48:57,239
89129 of that 3 ,000 uh 792 th000 a

2302
01:48:54,080 --> 01:49:00,320
majority of council voted to uh push

2303
01:48:57,239 --> 01:49:04,560
that forward in the budget process

2304
01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:07,639
um my question is back to that original

2305
01:49:04,560 --> 01:49:09,679
request not about this like additions

2306
01:49:07,639 --> 01:49:10,920
and deletions on this page on this

2307
01:49:09,679 --> 01:49:13,800
budget

2308
01:49:10,920 --> 01:49:17,360
page could the difference between like

2309
01:49:13,800 --> 01:49:19,440
instead of 300,000 and you have 57,000

2310
01:49:17,360 --> 01:49:23,840
that was an expense to your department

2311
01:49:19,440 --> 01:49:25,719
or debt reduction on a on a on an asset

2312
01:49:23,840 --> 01:49:26,760
um could it be the difference so it

2313
01:49:25,719 --> 01:49:30,000
would be

2314
01:49:26,760 --> 01:49:32,639
200 I don't know save

2315
01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:35,280
$243,000 or something like that instead

2316
01:49:32,639 --> 01:49:37,679
of 300,000 that's I'm going back to the

2317
01:49:35,280 --> 01:49:40,119
original report yeah it's it's not going

2318
01:49:37,679 --> 01:49:42,560
to reduce the tax levy origal the

2319
01:49:40,119 --> 01:49:45,599
$57,000 has already been

2320
01:49:42,560 --> 01:49:48,000
retired and so if you wanted to reduce

2321
01:49:45,599 --> 01:49:50,480
the Appropriations to reserve by

2322
01:49:48,000 --> 01:49:54,040
$50,000 that all that would do would

2323
01:49:50,480 --> 01:49:56,360
just there's no corresponding $57,000

2324
01:49:54,040 --> 01:49:59,840
back so that there if you wanted to

2325
01:49:56,360 --> 01:50:03,040
reduce the tax levy you could reduce the

2326
01:49:59,840 --> 01:50:07,080
300,000 but that the debt has been

2327
01:50:03,040 --> 01:50:09,719
retired and is now paid off okay um well

2328
01:50:07,080 --> 01:50:12,400
I mean it's my opinion not so we're not

2329
01:50:09,719 --> 01:50:14,760
here to make decisions I'm just throwing

2330
01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:17,320
uh I was just throwing something has an

2331
01:50:14,760 --> 01:50:20,320
idea uh it's not I don't think we want

2332
01:50:17,320 --> 01:50:21,840
to go into the meeting where we're not

2333
01:50:20,320 --> 01:50:23,440
we don't want to go wi and making

2334
01:50:21,840 --> 01:50:26,040
decisions and throwing that out for

2335
01:50:23,440 --> 01:50:28,920
information you can chew on it you can

2336
01:50:26,040 --> 01:50:31,560
do whatever you want with it um but

2337
01:50:28,920 --> 01:50:35,119
that's kind of what I was asking for is

2338
01:50:31,560 --> 01:50:36,199
if the if the if the net would do the

2339
01:50:35,119 --> 01:50:38,719
would

2340
01:50:36,199 --> 01:50:41,639
suffice uh and I understand accounting

2341
01:50:38,719 --> 01:50:45,880
about coming in coming out if the if the

2342
01:50:41,639 --> 01:50:50,599
difference would uh would would suffice

2343
01:50:45,880 --> 01:50:54,079
so but just just an observation

2344
01:50:50,599 --> 01:50:57,480
um something to look

2345
01:50:54,079 --> 01:51:00,040
at any other

2346
01:50:57,480 --> 01:51:04,239
questions okay uh thank

2347
01:51:00,040 --> 01:51:04,239
you uh so moving on to

2348
01:51:07,159 --> 01:51:11,480
Transportation thank you uh so

2349
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:15,159
transportation is made up of the roads

2350
01:51:11,480 --> 01:51:20,639
engineering and uh Fleet groups in the

2351
01:51:15,159 --> 01:51:24,040
city um and so I can uh can

2352
01:51:20,639 --> 01:51:26,800
speak to the uh changes in revenue and

2353
01:51:24,040 --> 01:51:32,400
expenses year-over-year um starting on

2354
01:51:26,800 --> 01:51:34,679
the revenue side um the first four items

2355
01:51:32,400 --> 01:51:37,760
on the list uh infrastructure master

2356
01:51:34,679 --> 01:51:39,679
master plan sewer storm financing study

2357
01:51:37,760 --> 01:51:42,840
road salt study or sorry I'll speak to

2358
01:51:39,679 --> 01:51:46,159
the first three um those are studies

2359
01:51:42,840 --> 01:51:49,040
that are um either in the Strategic plan

2360
01:51:46,159 --> 01:51:51,840
or were committed to by uh the previous

2361
01:51:49,040 --> 01:51:53,440
director to my myself and um and

2362
01:51:51,840 --> 01:51:56,800
there'll be funding

2363
01:51:53,440 --> 01:51:58,360
through um uh appropriation scrum

2364
01:51:56,800 --> 01:52:01,760
reserves

2365
01:51:58,360 --> 01:52:04,560
um full transparency I I did I didn't

2366
01:52:01,760 --> 01:52:07,440
get to these this year um still intend

2367
01:52:04,560 --> 01:52:10,840
to follow through on doing those however

2368
01:52:07,440 --> 01:52:14,000
um the net change is that um because the

2369
01:52:10,840 --> 01:52:16,079
funding came through from the reserves

2370
01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:19,239
to fund the project and then the project

2371
01:52:16,079 --> 01:52:21,400
has gone uh unspent at this point that

2372
01:52:19,239 --> 01:52:24,679
money will sort of just flow back and

2373
01:52:21,400 --> 01:52:27,639
sit um available to be spent when our

2374
01:52:24,679 --> 01:52:29,520
team does get to these projects so um

2375
01:52:27,639 --> 01:52:31,159
we're we're we're going to work through

2376
01:52:29,520 --> 01:52:33,400
those and they are going to happen um it

2377
01:52:31,159 --> 01:52:36,400
just didn't happen in 2023 as was

2378
01:52:33,400 --> 01:52:40,079
originally planned um fuel station

2379
01:52:36,400 --> 01:52:43,320
software upgrade is um a project for our

2380
01:52:40,079 --> 01:52:44,800
bulk filling fuel station um that was

2381
01:52:43,320 --> 01:52:47,560
funded through the reserved obviously as

2382
01:52:44,800 --> 01:52:51,040
a onetime project um that funding comes

2383
01:52:47,560 --> 01:52:54,960
back off again um and then the uh Bridge

2384
01:52:51,040 --> 01:52:57,560
study is um amounts that come from the

2385
01:52:54,960 --> 01:53:00,800
reserve to fund the bridge audit that

2386
01:52:57,560 --> 01:53:03,000
the city undertakes every two years um

2387
01:53:00,800 --> 01:53:08,119
and then the last three items I believe

2388
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:08,119
uh I'll let Heather and uh and Ry speak

2389
01:53:10,400 --> 01:53:18,119
to expit increase in revenues NE parking

2390
01:53:14,960 --> 01:53:21,239
findes mislan adjustments and those are

2391
01:53:18,119 --> 01:53:23,960
um compared to actual

2392
01:53:21,239 --> 01:53:26,400
um right like they're based on actual

2393
01:53:23,960 --> 01:53:28,840
experience so that's why we're and it's

2394
01:53:26,400 --> 01:53:31,520
Bas it's a volume adjust volume

2395
01:53:28,840 --> 01:53:34,920
increase so it's refinement of the

2396
01:53:31,520 --> 01:53:39,159
revenues so getting into expenses um

2397
01:53:34,920 --> 01:53:43,840
first we have the um $540,000

2398
01:53:39,159 --> 01:53:46,560
um uh allocation for the capital

2399
01:53:43,840 --> 01:53:48,760
increase to the roll roads projects for

2400
01:53:46,560 --> 01:53:50,760
service treated and loose toop gravel

2401
01:53:48,760 --> 01:53:55,560
roads

2402
01:53:50,760 --> 01:53:59,239
um secondly we have uh an adjustment to

2403
01:53:55,560 --> 01:54:01,480
our um salaries and benefits for uh an

2404
01:53:59,239 --> 01:54:04,199
allocation of a quarter of the the new

2405
01:54:01,480 --> 01:54:06,679
Public Works uh general manager position

2406
01:54:04,199 --> 01:54:08,840
and then also Roberta had previously U

2407
01:54:06,679 --> 01:54:11,599
mentioned the council that we had done a

2408
01:54:08,840 --> 01:54:13,440
shift in some of our staff for um

2409
01:54:11,599 --> 01:54:15,639
between sewer and water and roads for

2410
01:54:13,440 --> 01:54:18,159
coordinating um digs and utilization of

2411
01:54:15,639 --> 01:54:20,360
those resources so um back filling the

2412
01:54:18,159 --> 01:54:24,639
position on the road side is uh is what

2413
01:54:20,360 --> 01:54:28,119
makes up that that item um the next item

2414
01:54:24,639 --> 01:54:31,760
$118,000 in increased shop and uh garage

2415
01:54:28,119 --> 01:54:35,320
costs are associated uh 59,000 for

2416
01:54:31,760 --> 01:54:38,159
increase in uh diesel costs and 59,000

2417
01:54:35,320 --> 01:54:40,400
also for additional parts and materials

2418
01:54:38,159 --> 01:54:42,840
escalation costs for uh repairs and

2419
01:54:40,400 --> 01:54:47,800
maintenance that are

2420
01:54:42,840 --> 01:54:52,280
ongoing um winter control is a equipment

2421
01:54:47,800 --> 01:54:54,400
uh usage cost um um so uh ongoing um

2422
01:54:52,280 --> 01:54:57,400
equipment usage and uh costs that are

2423
01:54:54,400 --> 01:55:02,199
allocated to the roads Department from

2424
01:54:57,400 --> 01:55:04,840
um Fleet and then um we also have

2425
01:55:02,199 --> 01:55:08,199
overall um there is other pieces of

2426
01:55:04,840 --> 01:55:11,520
equipment um that in review of this uh

2427
01:55:08,199 --> 01:55:15,719
budget with the uh roads manager we

2428
01:55:11,520 --> 01:55:18,280
noted that um the the utilization that

2429
01:55:15,719 --> 01:55:21,920
had been um entered in

2430
01:55:18,280 --> 01:55:23,840
um was was trending to just uh to go a

2431
01:55:21,920 --> 01:55:26,239
little bit under by small amounts on

2432
01:55:23,840 --> 01:55:28,800
multiple pieces and so the Consolidated

2433
01:55:26,239 --> 01:55:31,320
amount of of right siding that is the

2434
01:55:28,800 --> 01:55:34,199
$26,000 reduction seen

2435
01:55:31,320 --> 01:55:36,440
there um Insurance again like uh Roberta

2436
01:55:34,199 --> 01:55:38,639
had mentioned that increase there um

2437
01:55:36,440 --> 01:55:41,040
increase in sand and salt costs pretty

2438
01:55:38,639 --> 01:55:43,480
self-explanatory for winter

2439
01:55:41,040 --> 01:55:44,880
control um and then we have decrease in

2440
01:55:43,480 --> 01:55:47,760
contract and

2441
01:55:44,880 --> 01:55:49,760
services so the first again the first

2442
01:55:47,760 --> 01:55:51,639
four projects there are similar to to

2443
01:55:49,760 --> 01:55:53,480
how I mentioned on the the revenue side

2444
01:55:51,639 --> 01:55:56,159
these are the projects that we will get

2445
01:55:53,480 --> 01:55:59,520
to and just um haven't gotten to yet the

2446
01:55:56,159 --> 01:56:01,880
fuel station um is a project that um is

2447
01:55:59,520 --> 01:56:03,920
nearing completion uh now and so that's

2448
01:56:01,880 --> 01:56:07,520
going to come off of the uh the plan

2449
01:56:03,920 --> 01:56:10,520
spend for next year um contracted

2450
01:56:07,520 --> 01:56:14,320
greater support a review of this I think

2451
01:56:10,520 --> 01:56:17,119
we myself and the roads manager um we uh

2452
01:56:14,320 --> 01:56:19,920
are realizing that our our dedicated own

2453
01:56:17,119 --> 01:56:22,480
forces on on greater support is uh

2454
01:56:19,920 --> 01:56:25,000
reducing the need to bring in contractor

2455
01:56:22,480 --> 01:56:26,400
support at an increased cost and so

2456
01:56:25,000 --> 01:56:28,239
we're managing that more through own

2457
01:56:26,400 --> 01:56:33,119
forces and so we've we've dropped a

2458
01:56:28,239 --> 01:56:37,800
reduction in there um roads contracts um

2459
01:56:33,119 --> 01:56:41,079
just reviewing um the uh the amounts for

2460
01:56:37,800 --> 01:56:44,239
brushing ditching um through contractor

2461
01:56:41,079 --> 01:56:46,119
support is uh is an a reduction through

2462
01:56:44,239 --> 01:56:48,280
there based on again the trends that

2463
01:56:46,119 --> 01:56:50,440
we're seeing on the last uh four to five

2464
01:56:48,280 --> 01:56:53,440
years of budgets that we reviewed and

2465
01:56:50,440 --> 01:56:55,800
what we're doing with our own forces um

2466
01:56:53,440 --> 01:56:58,000
Bridge study we'll have $100,000 spend

2467
01:56:55,800 --> 01:57:00,960
on that every two-year audit that's

2468
01:56:58,000 --> 01:57:04,119
completed um we we've allocated an

2469
01:57:00,960 --> 01:57:07,360
increase in our amount for uh docks and

2470
01:57:04,119 --> 01:57:10,320
Wars repairs and maintenance and uh and

2471
01:57:07,360 --> 01:57:13,679
that coincides with the large spend we

2472
01:57:10,320 --> 01:57:17,000
have on uh increasing our dock spacing

2473
01:57:13,679 --> 01:57:19,599
um uh that we received LFC uh funding

2474
01:57:17,000 --> 01:57:21,280
for we'll be working on um over the

2475
01:57:19,599 --> 01:57:25,040
winter and into next

2476
01:57:21,280 --> 01:57:28,320
year uh and then also the crossing guard

2477
01:57:25,040 --> 01:57:30,239
contract um Council would have seen my

2478
01:57:28,320 --> 01:57:32,719
report for the cost and guard contract

2479
01:57:30,239 --> 01:57:34,560
um back in a uh sorry in September I

2480
01:57:32,719 --> 01:57:36,560
believe that report came forward so this

2481
01:57:34,560 --> 01:57:40,199
is just an alignment with the uh the

2482
01:57:36,560 --> 01:57:42,520
newly received pricing for that

2483
01:57:40,199 --> 01:57:45,079
service um Ryan I'll let you speak to

2484
01:57:42,520 --> 01:57:48,079
the um recovery from

2485
01:57:45,079 --> 01:57:48,079
utilities

2486
01:57:48,400 --> 01:57:53,960
d

2487
01:57:50,860 --> 01:57:53,960
[Applause]

2488
01:57:58,480 --> 01:58:02,199
right so this is um these are actually

2489
01:58:00,880 --> 01:58:04,920
recoveries these are the garage and

2490
01:58:02,199 --> 01:58:08,440
Warehouse operations centers uh cost

2491
01:58:04,920 --> 01:58:10,880
recovery from the solid waste and Water

2492
01:58:08,440 --> 01:58:13,199
waste water utilities that are self uh

2493
01:58:10,880 --> 01:58:15,960
funded these are the costs that that are

2494
01:58:13,199 --> 01:58:18,360
being allocated uh to them and they come

2495
01:58:15,960 --> 01:58:21,239
back to uh public works or to

2496
01:58:18,360 --> 01:58:23,079
infrastructure as recovered amount so

2497
01:58:21,239 --> 01:58:24,880
they're increasing therefore it's a

2498
01:58:23,079 --> 01:58:27,880
reduction in the overall cost of the

2499
01:58:24,880 --> 01:58:32,199
expense level thereby reducing the

2500
01:58:27,880 --> 01:58:32,199
overall um tax levy here by

2501
01:58:33,960 --> 01:58:37,960
118,000 uh Street lighting principal

2502
01:58:36,079 --> 01:58:40,000
interest I think you going to take that

2503
01:58:37,960 --> 01:58:42,639
right um so this is another piece of

2504
01:58:40,000 --> 01:58:44,560
debt that is maturing uh the street

2505
01:58:42,639 --> 01:58:47,320
lighting there was debt that was taken

2506
01:58:44,560 --> 01:58:50,119
for that uh principal interest is uh is

2507
01:58:47,320 --> 01:58:53,280
been mat is complete uh this is a

2508
01:58:50,119 --> 01:58:53,280
reduction to expenses of

2509
01:58:54,800 --> 01:59:00,360
96,000 uh okay and then we also have a

2510
01:58:57,040 --> 01:59:03,400
one time decrease to uh the transfer to

2511
01:59:00,360 --> 01:59:05,199
reserves for um docks and warps so um I

2512
01:59:03,400 --> 01:59:09,119
think that aligns with what we' seen on

2513
01:59:05,199 --> 01:59:11,440
the first page there um we have computer

2514
01:59:09,119 --> 01:59:15,520
Replacements that have occurred and are

2515
01:59:11,440 --> 01:59:16,880
now um dropping off um as an expense for

2516
01:59:15,520 --> 01:59:20,920
the for the

2517
01:59:16,880 --> 01:59:24,119
Department um General decrease in

2518
01:59:20,920 --> 01:59:25,639
repairs and maintenance these are this

2519
01:59:24,119 --> 01:59:27,079
is again is a a review that we've

2520
01:59:25,639 --> 01:59:29,360
undertaken on our repairs and

2521
01:59:27,079 --> 01:59:31,360
maintenance costs across our facilities

2522
01:59:29,360 --> 01:59:35,400
and how our Trends were spending and

2523
01:59:31,360 --> 01:59:37,040
across multiple uh tens of buildings um

2524
01:59:35,400 --> 01:59:42,040
small increases have amounted to a

2525
01:59:37,040 --> 01:59:44,560
$112,000 reduction there um General uh

2526
01:59:42,040 --> 01:59:47,360
decrease in general sorry uh decrease in

2527
01:59:44,560 --> 01:59:50,560
general supplies for um for the roads

2528
01:59:47,360 --> 01:59:54,040
Department 6,000 uh dollars again made

2529
01:59:50,560 --> 01:59:57,360
up of multiple multiple um small

2530
01:59:54,040 --> 02:00:00,440
decreases um and then sorry uh Transit

2531
01:59:57,360 --> 02:00:02,800
and parking Heather is that materials

2532
02:00:00,440 --> 02:00:04,760
and supplies

2533
02:00:02,800 --> 02:00:07,760
for

2534
02:00:04,760 --> 02:00:07,760
yeah

2535
02:00:08,599 --> 02:00:12,840
okay I think that takes us through

2536
02:00:10,719 --> 02:00:15,360
there's miscellaneous adjustments again

2537
02:00:12,840 --> 02:00:16,679
um hundreds of lines uh that make up

2538
02:00:15,360 --> 02:00:22,520
that line of

2539
02:00:16,679 --> 02:00:22,520
them ins and outs any questions to

2540
02:00:23,119 --> 02:00:28,360
council thank

2541
02:00:25,640 --> 02:00:31,440
[Applause]

2542
02:00:28,360 --> 02:00:35,000
you uh so next we'll move on to um

2543
02:00:31,440 --> 02:00:38,280
recycling so um recycling is a a shared

2544
02:00:35,000 --> 02:00:41,280
service provided alongside our um

2545
02:00:38,280 --> 02:00:43,239
alongside our our curbside collection

2546
02:00:41,280 --> 02:00:46,440
for solid waste um runs over the

2547
02:00:43,239 --> 02:00:50,440
transfer facility um on the revenue side

2548
02:00:46,440 --> 02:00:54,119
we have the uh increase to our revenue

2549
02:00:50,440 --> 02:00:57,520
from both the the gfl contract and our

2550
02:00:54,119 --> 02:00:59,719
um circular materials uh contract um in

2551
02:00:57,520 --> 02:01:03,199
alignment the with the blue box

2552
02:00:59,719 --> 02:01:06,119
regulation um reviewed our our trend on

2553
02:01:03,199 --> 02:01:08,599
uh blue box sales so I think that's

2554
02:01:06,119 --> 02:01:09,719
starting to uh to drop off now I

2555
02:01:08,599 --> 02:01:12,000
understand that over the last few years

2556
02:01:09,719 --> 02:01:14,280
there's quite a few blue boxes that were

2557
02:01:12,000 --> 02:01:17,679
procured and sold and so um that's just

2558
02:01:14,280 --> 02:01:20,639
trending downward so um reduced that and

2559
02:01:17,679 --> 02:01:24,360
then also we've noted um an increase in

2560
02:01:20,639 --> 02:01:27,360
um scrap metal and um commercial

2561
02:01:24,360 --> 02:01:29,119
recyclable materials when we offload

2562
02:01:27,360 --> 02:01:31,800
those um there's some income from those

2563
02:01:29,119 --> 02:01:35,000
that we've uh noted are likely to uh

2564
02:01:31,800 --> 02:01:35,000
project an increase in revenue of

2565
02:01:35,520 --> 02:01:41,199
$4,000 uh reallocation of uh one

2566
02:01:38,639 --> 02:01:45,320
individual from um

2567
02:01:41,199 --> 02:01:47,960
recycling to the solid waste utility so

2568
02:01:45,320 --> 02:01:50,119
just based on the uh the oh sorry I let

2569
02:01:47,960 --> 02:01:52,079
Roberto speak yeah if I May uh so as

2570
02:01:50,119 --> 02:01:53,639
part of the review that was undertaken

2571
02:01:52,079 --> 02:01:55,599
with circular materials and just

2572
02:01:53,639 --> 02:01:58,960
everything that would be uh considered

2573
02:01:55,599 --> 02:02:01,639
to be recycling um this uh FTE was

2574
02:01:58,960 --> 02:02:04,679
predominantly servicing the transfer

2575
02:02:01,639 --> 02:02:06,840
station uh and so this FTE would remain

2576
02:02:04,679 --> 02:02:09,320
within the solid waste uh utility so

2577
02:02:06,840 --> 02:02:12,280
it's a decrease from our tax supported

2578
02:02:09,320 --> 02:02:14,480
on the recycling end uh but uh it is uh

2579
02:02:12,280 --> 02:02:16,040
more appropriately realigned to the

2580
02:02:14,480 --> 02:02:17,960
transfer facility where it was

2581
02:02:16,040 --> 02:02:20,239
performing

2582
02:02:17,960 --> 02:02:23,639
work

2583
02:02:20,239 --> 02:02:27,360
thank you um transportation cost of

2584
02:02:23,639 --> 02:02:30,599
recyclable materials to Winnipeg so um

2585
02:02:27,360 --> 02:02:33,480
as part of our gfl contract um operating

2586
02:02:30,599 --> 02:02:35,360
as the receiving facility we we have

2587
02:02:33,480 --> 02:02:38,520
ongoing transportation to Winnipeg that

2588
02:02:35,360 --> 02:02:41,840
is likely to drop off unless things

2589
02:02:38,520 --> 02:02:45,119
change um at the end of June um and that

2590
02:02:41,840 --> 02:02:47,280
service may or may not uh be overtaken

2591
02:02:45,119 --> 02:02:49,040
by gfl themselves or depending on what

2592
02:02:47,280 --> 02:02:52,159
other conversations we engage with them

2593
02:02:49,040 --> 02:02:53,920
them so um for now it's a it's a planned

2594
02:02:52,159 --> 02:02:55,639
uh reduction in our

2595
02:02:53,920 --> 02:03:00,639
expenses

2596
02:02:55,639 --> 02:03:03,560
um facility equipment uh usage um again

2597
02:03:00,639 --> 02:03:06,000
just going through with the uh general

2598
02:03:03,560 --> 02:03:09,840
manager of utilities on our equipment uh

2599
02:03:06,000 --> 02:03:12,920
allocation between uh the utility and uh

2600
02:03:09,840 --> 02:03:15,560
and Recycling services um just uh

2601
02:03:12,920 --> 02:03:17,320
streamlined where our um where equipment

2602
02:03:15,560 --> 02:03:19,760
allocations are going and aligning it

2603
02:03:17,320 --> 02:03:22,320
more with those different services and

2604
02:03:19,760 --> 02:03:23,760
potentially um with the change in the

2605
02:03:22,320 --> 02:03:25,400
receiving facility mid year it's going

2606
02:03:23,760 --> 02:03:26,639
to drop off some of the requirements on

2607
02:03:25,400 --> 02:03:29,639
the recycling side so there's a

2608
02:03:26,639 --> 02:03:32,599
reduction there um and then just small

2609
02:03:29,639 --> 02:03:34,880
inotes make up the last thousand in that

2610
02:03:32,599 --> 02:03:34,880
in that

2611
02:03:37,880 --> 02:03:43,520
grouping yeah as far as the decrease

2612
02:03:41,639 --> 02:03:47,280
decreasing transport cost of recycling

2613
02:03:43,520 --> 02:03:49,960
to Winnipeg explain so is it is it not

2614
02:03:47,280 --> 02:03:52,520
going to Winnipeg now and if it just

2615
02:03:49,960 --> 02:03:54,520
might not be our responsibility after

2616
02:03:52,520 --> 02:03:57,239
June so we have

2617
02:03:54,520 --> 02:04:00,800
to our our recycling for years has gone

2618
02:03:57,239 --> 02:04:02,159
to Winnipeg um under tax funded now that

2619
02:04:00,800 --> 02:04:04,679
we're operating as the receiving

2620
02:04:02,159 --> 02:04:06,960
facility under gfl who is under circular

2621
02:04:04,679 --> 02:04:09,119
materials into the province um we're

2622
02:04:06,960 --> 02:04:12,000
providing that service up to June that

2623
02:04:09,119 --> 02:04:14,159
we know of but after June it may not be

2624
02:04:12,000 --> 02:04:15,960
a requirement for ourselves so that

2625
02:04:14,159 --> 02:04:18,320
actually aligns with the revenue item

2626
02:04:15,960 --> 02:04:19,400
above for the revenue that we we receive

2627
02:04:18,320 --> 02:04:21,559
from GF

2628
02:04:19,400 --> 02:04:23,639
I see to cover that cost so that's

2629
02:04:21,559 --> 02:04:25,199
that's up in the air till after June

2630
02:04:23,639 --> 02:04:29,599
that's right what are some possible

2631
02:04:25,199 --> 02:04:31,559
scenarios um well gfl um as they

2632
02:04:29,599 --> 02:04:33,719
progress works at their at their

2633
02:04:31,559 --> 02:04:39,239
location to operate as a receiving

2634
02:04:33,719 --> 02:04:39,239
facility that uh I believe that

2635
02:04:39,679 --> 02:04:44,679
um I'm not sure actually I can sh that I

2636
02:04:42,360 --> 02:04:48,400
can that in open um but at their at

2637
02:04:44,679 --> 02:04:49,520
their location um if their operation

2638
02:04:48,400 --> 02:04:52,159
commen

2639
02:04:49,520 --> 02:04:56,119
in July of this year then that would be

2640
02:04:52,159 --> 02:04:56,119
a service that they would provide for

2641
02:04:58,119 --> 02:05:01,320
recycles thank

2642
02:05:03,079 --> 02:05:08,119
you so next one is H Cemetery that's

2643
02:05:06,400 --> 02:05:10,199
that's under my department but I'm going

2644
02:05:08,119 --> 02:05:13,239
to let Ryan speak to it specifically on

2645
02:05:10,199 --> 02:05:17,440
this uh this one item this one's uh

2646
02:05:13,239 --> 02:05:20,119
fairly straightforward um this the city

2647
02:05:17,440 --> 02:05:24,199
of canor has a contribution to the

2648
02:05:20,119 --> 02:05:26,280
cemetery to uh support their operations

2649
02:05:24,199 --> 02:05:29,159
we have a decrease in the contribution

2650
02:05:26,280 --> 02:05:30,800
to the cemetery the primary reason is is

2651
02:05:29,159 --> 02:05:33,920
the increasing Trend in revenues that

2652
02:05:30,800 --> 02:05:36,119
they're collecting um volumes uh have

2653
02:05:33,920 --> 02:05:38,079
increasing there's also uh fees that

2654
02:05:36,119 --> 02:05:42,400
have been increased in 2022 which are

2655
02:05:38,079 --> 02:05:46,639
also um reducing the pressure on the tax

2656
02:05:42,400 --> 02:05:46,639
uh supported uh contribution to the

2657
02:05:47,679 --> 02:05:50,679
cemetery

2658
02:06:04,119 --> 02:06:07,400
we're going to pause for we don't

2659
02:06:08,360 --> 02:06:17,440
have it might a little bit should we

2660
02:06:11,920 --> 02:06:17,440
aak MERS are G for maybe just

2661
02:06:17,599 --> 02:06:21,199
sorry the

2662
02:06:47,599 --> 02:06:50,599
conversation

2663
02:07:17,520 --> 02:07:20,520
for

2664
02:07:45,639 --> 02:07:50,520
apologize we're just waiting for one

2665
02:07:47,520 --> 02:07:50,520
more to come in we

2666
02:08:17,440 --> 02:08:20,440
be

2667
02:08:39,199 --> 02:08:43,760
okay we will reconvene the meeting uh so

2668
02:08:41,800 --> 02:08:46,760
we on

2669
02:08:43,760 --> 02:08:50,800
Cemetery or are we um I think we just

2670
02:08:46,760 --> 02:08:54,000
wrap that one up way go over it again uh

2671
02:08:50,800 --> 02:08:55,760
well I think I think did you want us to

2672
02:08:54,000 --> 02:08:58,719
review the cemetery

2673
02:08:55,760 --> 02:09:00,599
no know there wasn't I asked if there

2674
02:08:58,719 --> 02:09:04,679
was any

2675
02:09:00,599 --> 02:09:07,040
questions okay um so we can move on so

2676
02:09:04,679 --> 02:09:08,440
next we have is uh re and culture so

2677
02:09:07,040 --> 02:09:10,679
that that does include the parks

2678
02:09:08,440 --> 02:09:12,079
department from my area but Andrew is

2679
02:09:10,679 --> 02:09:14,880
going to speak mainly because that's

2680
02:09:12,079 --> 02:09:20,040
where all most of the uh the change

2681
02:09:14,880 --> 02:09:25,520
SL yeah so um this year we looked at the

2682
02:09:20,040 --> 02:09:28,280
budget and just new ways to augment our

2683
02:09:25,520 --> 02:09:30,599
game essentially um so you'll see in our

2684
02:09:28,280 --> 02:09:33,599
Revenue uh first of all you see the

2685
02:09:30,599 --> 02:09:36,079
increased revenue from attic programming

2686
02:09:33,599 --> 02:09:38,719
um we've had a very successful first

2687
02:09:36,079 --> 02:09:40,960
session of added swimming lessons that's

2688
02:09:38,719 --> 02:09:42,880
where the bulk of that additional

2689
02:09:40,960 --> 02:09:45,599
funding comes from where the additional

2690
02:09:42,880 --> 02:09:46,960
Revenue comes from um we are bringing on

2691
02:09:45,599 --> 02:09:49,840
more unique

2692
02:09:46,960 --> 02:09:52,000
programming uh including uh you know

2693
02:09:49,840 --> 02:09:56,320
leadership courses and Junior

2694
02:09:52,000 --> 02:10:00,639
Lifeguards um and this also will allow

2695
02:09:56,320 --> 02:10:04,119
for us to um when you look down at the

2696
02:10:00,639 --> 02:10:06,559
decrease in rental Revenue um some of

2697
02:10:04,119 --> 02:10:08,719
this is coming from the pool where we

2698
02:10:06,559 --> 02:10:11,199
are adding programming in and the

2699
02:10:08,719 --> 02:10:13,199
rentals are coming out um so once you

2700
02:10:11,199 --> 02:10:16,239
look at your instructional courses this

2701
02:10:13,199 --> 02:10:20,040
is where we have all of our lifeguarding

2702
02:10:16,239 --> 02:10:22,599
courses we're looking at at um having

2703
02:10:20,040 --> 02:10:24,320
our people provide those courses to

2704
02:10:22,599 --> 02:10:26,800
other communities and we're going to

2705
02:10:24,320 --> 02:10:29,400
take the revenue off of that um the

2706
02:10:26,800 --> 02:10:32,159
summer camps in the Summer where we get

2707
02:10:29,400 --> 02:10:34,280
revenue from that as well um when you

2708
02:10:32,159 --> 02:10:36,760
look at the increased revenue from

2709
02:10:34,280 --> 02:10:38,840
recreational programming we're offering

2710
02:10:36,760 --> 02:10:41,320
sponsored programming we're working

2711
02:10:38,840 --> 02:10:42,440
right now with Community groups um this

2712
02:10:41,320 --> 02:10:46,000
is a

2713
02:10:42,440 --> 02:10:48,599
forecast uh and we are adding more

2714
02:10:46,000 --> 02:10:52,159
programming um just in terms of of

2715
02:10:48,599 --> 02:10:54,719
individual programs um we do have a

2716
02:10:52,159 --> 02:10:57,440
increase in ice rental usage volume and

2717
02:10:54,719 --> 02:11:00,480
that follows directly from the canora

2718
02:10:57,440 --> 02:11:03,760
Islanders and uh the decrease in

2719
02:11:00,480 --> 02:11:07,079
transfer reserves to both uh Museum HVAC

2720
02:11:03,760 --> 02:11:10,079
systems and Library boil cycle study

2721
02:11:07,079 --> 02:11:12,719
believe we had sent this uh mooded a

2722
02:11:10,079 --> 02:11:17,159
couple years down the road correct I

2723
02:11:12,719 --> 02:11:19,559
think um and then did decrease in rental

2724
02:11:17,159 --> 02:11:22,480
Revenue a lot of this deres directly

2725
02:11:19,559 --> 02:11:25,920
from the lack of hotels um we seen Bal

2726
02:11:22,480 --> 02:11:29,239
Diamond Rental go downhill this year um

2727
02:11:25,920 --> 02:11:32,599
napin tournament was almost cut in half

2728
02:11:29,239 --> 02:11:35,880
so a lot of that is directly due to the

2729
02:11:32,599 --> 02:11:38,079
lack of um hospitality and then decrease

2730
02:11:35,880 --> 02:11:40,360
in ice pad rental just because we are

2731
02:11:38,079 --> 02:11:43,360
going to be rep replacing that so we

2732
02:11:40,360 --> 02:11:44,880
don't have any this year uh and then the

2733
02:11:43,360 --> 02:11:47,679
miscellaneous

2734
02:11:44,880 --> 02:11:49,679
adjustments um a lot of them a lot of

2735
02:11:47,679 --> 02:11:52,719
these come

2736
02:11:49,679 --> 02:11:54,559
from just the actuals we have this year

2737
02:11:52,719 --> 02:11:56,719
where we're noticing I think the biggest

2738
02:11:54,559 --> 02:12:00,800
thing that we're noticing is a a little

2739
02:11:56,719 --> 02:12:02,639
bit of a decrease in our um memberships

2740
02:12:00,800 --> 02:12:06,079
due to the other gyms coming on board in

2741
02:12:02,639 --> 02:12:08,520
the community um so once we look at our

2742
02:12:06,079 --> 02:12:12,280
expenses we do have a decreased transfer

2743
02:12:08,520 --> 02:12:15,159
to reserves um for each of

2744
02:12:12,280 --> 02:12:18,800
these uh increased City contribution to

2745
02:12:15,159 --> 02:12:23,280
the museum um that you can see it's

2746
02:12:18,800 --> 02:12:25,520
fairly substantial and that's um due to

2747
02:12:23,280 --> 02:12:29,079
reserves uh the museum had used reserves

2748
02:12:25,520 --> 02:12:31,119
in the past to um to offset the budget

2749
02:12:29,079 --> 02:12:34,960
um and then there's an increase in

2750
02:12:31,119 --> 02:12:37,520
utilities for all of our locations here

2751
02:12:34,960 --> 02:12:40,679
which is um pretty standard within the

2752
02:12:37,520 --> 02:12:43,719
rest of the city um an increase to the

2753
02:12:40,679 --> 02:12:46,679
city contribution to the liary um as

2754
02:12:43,719 --> 02:12:48,960
Crystal uh had put in her budget and we

2755
02:12:46,679 --> 02:12:51,079
had seen earlier on today

2756
02:12:48,960 --> 02:12:53,639
um there's an increase in

2757
02:12:51,079 --> 02:12:56,679
principal um due to the boat launch and

2758
02:12:53,639 --> 02:12:58,480
parking lot expansion that we had uh the

2759
02:12:56,679 --> 02:13:02,119
project is getting completed hopefully

2760
02:12:58,480 --> 02:13:04,880
this week and increase in insurance I

2761
02:13:02,119 --> 02:13:07,920
think that's pretty standard um just to

2762
02:13:04,880 --> 02:13:09,920
speak specifically on that um Parks uh

2763
02:13:07,920 --> 02:13:12,320
was one of the hardest hit areas in

2764
02:13:09,920 --> 02:13:15,040
terms of claims experience as a result

2765
02:13:12,320 --> 02:13:17,719
of flooding and damage so when you take

2766
02:13:15,040 --> 02:13:20,320
a look at um the property increase that

2767
02:13:17,719 --> 02:13:23,760
I reference before a larger share

2768
02:13:20,320 --> 02:13:27,360
increase was uh attributed to the parks

2769
02:13:23,760 --> 02:13:29,599
uh area especially like the the

2770
02:13:27,360 --> 02:13:32,239
infrastructure and then we move further

2771
02:13:29,599 --> 02:13:36,599
down you see uh our computer replacement

2772
02:13:32,239 --> 02:13:39,040
as for the schedule uh there is a fairly

2773
02:13:36,599 --> 02:13:42,960
minimal increase to salary and benefits

2774
02:13:39,040 --> 02:13:45,079
which is nice to see um and the

2775
02:13:42,960 --> 02:13:47,320
miscellaneous adjustments I want to kind

2776
02:13:45,079 --> 02:13:48,960
of com comment on the markless pucks

2777
02:13:47,320 --> 02:13:51,199
that Ry had mention that's exactly where

2778
02:13:48,960 --> 02:13:53,079
that's coming from so we no longer will

2779
02:13:51,199 --> 02:13:55,280
need a cleaning contract to clean our

2780
02:13:53,079 --> 02:13:57,520
boards because these marks markless PS

2781
02:13:55,280 --> 02:14:00,840
you can wash it off basically our staff

2782
02:13:57,520 --> 02:14:02,400
can so and as well when people would

2783
02:14:00,840 --> 02:14:04,599
bring their own pucks if you bring a

2784
02:14:02,400 --> 02:14:07,920
cold puck in maybe a little bit colder

2785
02:14:04,599 --> 02:14:10,320
than minus 10 they shatter glass so when

2786
02:14:07,920 --> 02:14:12,400
now we can maintain the temperature of

2787
02:14:10,320 --> 02:14:14,679
our pucks our glass likely it won't be

2788
02:14:12,400 --> 02:14:19,880
breaking but I didn't put that in just

2789
02:14:14,679 --> 02:14:19,880
in case um it happens still

2790
02:14:19,920 --> 02:14:24,400
uh thank you uh any

2791
02:14:25,119 --> 02:14:30,639
questions Deputy Mayor I just have one

2792
02:14:27,679 --> 02:14:32,000
question uh and I'm probably missing

2793
02:14:30,639 --> 02:14:34,480
something either on the revenue

2794
02:14:32,000 --> 02:14:37,559
expenditure side but the increase City

2795
02:14:34,480 --> 02:14:40,920
contribution to the library uh so in

2796
02:14:37,559 --> 02:14:45,159
these budget sheets um shows

2797
02:14:40,920 --> 02:14:48,000
47,1 128 when I look back at what was uh

2798
02:14:45,159 --> 02:14:49,559
presented by the library board uh it's

2799
02:14:48,000 --> 02:14:53,320
got the city of

2800
02:14:49,559 --> 02:14:55,119
canora uh 2023 to

2801
02:14:53,320 --> 02:14:58,599
2024 it has

2802
02:14:55,119 --> 02:15:00,520
$72,000 is there something on is it's

2803
02:14:58,599 --> 02:15:03,440
got something to do with this decrease

2804
02:15:00,520 --> 02:15:05,599
in reserve absolutely yeah it's the

2805
02:15:03,440 --> 02:15:08,000
reserve transfers that are throwing that

2806
02:15:05,599 --> 02:15:11,159
number on we noticed that during the

2807
02:15:08,000 --> 02:15:11,159
presentation we

2808
02:15:12,159 --> 02:15:19,800
havei any other questions

2809
02:15:15,440 --> 02:15:19,800
Council thanks uh

2810
02:15:21,670 --> 02:15:26,280
[Applause]

2811
02:15:23,239 --> 02:15:28,199
the next next sections uh at development

2812
02:15:26,280 --> 02:15:31,119
tourism and Planning and

2813
02:15:28,199 --> 02:15:33,719
Building yeah so um I'll speak to this

2814
02:15:31,119 --> 02:15:37,000
so This represents uh janison uh my

2815
02:15:33,719 --> 02:15:38,559
department on a Consolidated basis um

2816
02:15:37,000 --> 02:15:41,000
there's nine items that I'd like to

2817
02:15:38,559 --> 02:15:43,400
highlight to you uh if you look at the

2818
02:15:41,000 --> 02:15:46,119
revenue um the first couple entries are

2819
02:15:43,400 --> 02:15:48,400
related to one-time projects so you will

2820
02:15:46,119 --> 02:15:50,599
see a credit in terms of money coming in

2821
02:15:48,400 --> 02:15:53,280
on the revenue side and similarly you

2822
02:15:50,599 --> 02:15:55,559
will see a a decrease in terms of an

2823
02:15:53,280 --> 02:15:59,040
expense coming out on the other side of

2824
02:15:55,559 --> 02:16:02,000
the ledger so uh the first one is the

2825
02:15:59,040 --> 02:16:04,719
$270,000 and the $30,000 for the

2826
02:16:02,000 --> 02:16:08,040
business attraction project uh we were

2827
02:16:04,719 --> 02:16:09,760
turned down for that through Fedor um

2828
02:16:08,040 --> 02:16:10,960
and so similarly if you look at the

2829
02:16:09,760 --> 02:16:13,440
expense side you'll see the

2830
02:16:10,960 --> 02:16:18,400
corresponding $300,000

2831
02:16:13,440 --> 02:16:20,800
entry um we have the um

2832
02:16:18,400 --> 02:16:22,840
uh the community Improvement plan so uh

2833
02:16:20,800 --> 02:16:25,400
what happened with Matt was we had a or

2834
02:16:22,840 --> 02:16:27,320
sorry not with Matt but with coid we had

2835
02:16:25,400 --> 02:16:29,920
a number of projects that were not

2836
02:16:27,320 --> 02:16:32,679
completed just because um local

2837
02:16:29,920 --> 02:16:34,439
companies were unable to get contractors

2838
02:16:32,679 --> 02:16:37,040
so we're not seeing that Trend

2839
02:16:34,439 --> 02:16:40,679
continuing in 200

2840
02:16:37,040 --> 02:16:42,519
um 24 so it's just a decrease in the

2841
02:16:40,679 --> 02:16:43,679
amount of spending that's going out by

2842
02:16:42,519 --> 02:16:46,800
way of uh

2843
02:16:43,679 --> 02:16:49,679
CIP uh similarly a onetime project is

2844
02:16:46,800 --> 02:16:52,080
completed uh this year uh will be the

2845
02:16:49,679 --> 02:16:53,920
active transport project or it was to be

2846
02:16:52,080 --> 02:16:55,880
completed when it was put on the books

2847
02:16:53,920 --> 02:16:57,679
uh doesn't represent any additional cost

2848
02:16:55,880 --> 02:17:02,439
in

2849
02:16:57,679 --> 02:17:05,000
2024 um uh in an effort to um when we

2850
02:17:02,439 --> 02:17:09,319
looked at uh what was going on in

2851
02:17:05,000 --> 02:17:11,840
2023 relative to the 2024 initial budget

2852
02:17:09,319 --> 02:17:13,319
uh we realized that um our volume in the

2853
02:17:11,840 --> 02:17:15,240
planning department and building

2854
02:17:13,319 --> 02:17:17,359
department was what much higher

2855
02:17:15,240 --> 02:17:19,920
therefore there is a relief back to the

2856
02:17:17,359 --> 02:17:22,040
company of $70,000 of incremental

2857
02:17:19,920 --> 02:17:25,040
Revenue coming in and then there's some

2858
02:17:22,040 --> 02:17:26,960
miscellaneous adjustments as well uh the

2859
02:17:25,040 --> 02:17:29,160
notables on the expense side that I

2860
02:17:26,960 --> 02:17:31,439
haven't already spoken about which was

2861
02:17:29,160 --> 02:17:34,880
related to the investment traction CIP

2862
02:17:31,439 --> 02:17:39,880
and the active transport um there is an

2863
02:17:34,880 --> 02:17:42,399
increase in salary uh benefits um and um

2864
02:17:39,880 --> 02:17:44,719
that's really due to the second Economic

2865
02:17:42,399 --> 02:17:48,639
Development uh officer coming on

2866
02:17:44,719 --> 02:17:52,719
board um there is some small insurance

2867
02:17:48,639 --> 02:17:55,359
and utility changes um the Northwestern

2868
02:17:52,719 --> 02:17:57,880
Business Center moved from its uh

2869
02:17:55,359 --> 02:18:00,280
previous location to the banister Center

2870
02:17:57,880 --> 02:18:02,359
so there's an increase in rent there and

2871
02:18:00,280 --> 02:18:05,559
then there's some other miscellaneous

2872
02:18:02,359 --> 02:18:05,559
adjustments for

2873
02:18:07,359 --> 02:18:12,439
4727 any than any questions

2874
02:18:16,519 --> 02:18:19,519
Council

2875
02:18:20,960 --> 02:18:25,840
oh

2876
02:18:22,040 --> 02:18:28,280
myself so the last um page last function

2877
02:18:25,840 --> 02:18:32,760
we have um in the operating side is our

2878
02:18:28,280 --> 02:18:35,160
external organizations um these com of

2879
02:18:32,760 --> 02:18:37,399
course of the Northwest Health Unit uh

2880
02:18:35,160 --> 02:18:39,800
District home for the age police Child

land

2883
02:18:40,880 --> 02:18:47,519
ambulance um so we have a small increase

2884
02:18:45,319 --> 02:18:49,920
in the court security prisoner transport

2885
02:18:47,519 --> 02:18:50,639
grant program uh the agreement expired

2886
02:18:49,920 --> 02:18:55,000
in

2887
02:18:50,639 --> 02:18:59,359
2022 um we're showing one uh

2888
02:18:55,000 --> 02:18:59,359
$1,900 uh increasing in Revenue

2889
02:18:59,599 --> 02:19:03,840
there um we have the year-over-year

2890
02:19:01,920 --> 02:19:06,519
increase for the Ontario Provincial

2891
02:19:03,840 --> 02:19:09,160
Police billing of

2892
02:19:06,519 --> 02:19:12,960
98,000 that doesn't include I mean uh

2893
02:19:09,160 --> 02:19:16,639
sorry the 2023 uh included the rebate of

2894
02:19:12,960 --> 02:19:19,439
511 um so that's that's a large driver

2895
02:19:16,639 --> 02:19:20,679
of our cost in increase there um we have

2896
02:19:19,439 --> 02:19:23,280
other external

2897
02:19:20,679 --> 02:19:25,399
organizations um that the process we

2898
02:19:23,280 --> 02:19:27,479
take is uh obviously we don't have all

2899
02:19:25,399 --> 02:19:29,800
the information today uh if we're in the

2900
02:19:27,479 --> 02:19:31,639
absence of that we've been applying a 3%

2901
02:19:29,800 --> 02:19:34,479
increase on these

2902
02:19:31,639 --> 02:19:36,880
organizations and we found over the past

2903
02:19:34,479 --> 02:19:40,880
that that's been a fairly accurate way

2904
02:19:36,880 --> 02:19:42,800
of of projecting it albeit um some might

2905
02:19:40,880 --> 02:19:44,599
be a little bit higher than the 3% some

2906
02:19:42,800 --> 02:19:46,840
might come in a little under but overall

2907
02:19:44,599 --> 02:19:48,359
that 3% been holding true over the last

2908
02:19:46,840 --> 02:19:50,640
number of years

2909
02:19:48,359 --> 02:19:52,720
um so uh we have an increase in the

2910
02:19:50,640 --> 02:19:55,240
social housing of

2911
02:19:52,720 --> 02:19:56,760
172,000 increase for home uh for the

2912
02:19:55,240 --> 02:19:59,160
Aged of

2913
02:19:56,760 --> 02:20:00,479
63,000 increase for Northwest health

2914
02:19:59,160 --> 02:20:04,080
unit of

2915
02:20:00,479 --> 02:20:07,840
21,000 um and on decreases for land

2916
02:20:04,080 --> 02:20:11,520
ambulance and child care 75 and

2917
02:20:07,840 --> 02:20:13,840
41 um so that would conclude the

2918
02:20:11,520 --> 02:20:15,520
external portions and so at this point

2919
02:20:13,840 --> 02:20:18,399
we're still waiting for Pine Cross the

2920
02:20:15,520 --> 02:20:20,720
health unit and the kdsb final ly

2921
02:20:18,399 --> 02:20:24,120
members to be confirmed at the morning

2922
02:20:20,720 --> 02:20:26,240
correct and I think in the past we have

2923
02:20:24,120 --> 02:20:28,520
um maybe had it depending on the timing

2924
02:20:26,240 --> 02:20:30,880
and some of them we may not have had so

2925
02:20:28,520 --> 02:20:32,800
that estimate like I was mentioning it's

2926
02:20:30,880 --> 02:20:35,240
kind of held true in terms of that

2927
02:20:32,800 --> 02:20:37,319
absence of information and we just go

2928
02:20:35,240 --> 02:20:39,680
with the best that we have at the time

2929
02:20:37,319 --> 02:20:42,840
um so if one does come in and we'll to

2930
02:20:39,680 --> 02:20:42,840
fit it in we'll get that budget

2931
02:20:44,200 --> 02:20:51,399
amount sorry coun yeah ran um the 3%

2932
02:20:48,720 --> 02:20:53,880
increase that you that you forecast is

2933
02:20:51,399 --> 02:20:55,479
that like industry standard or is that

2934
02:20:53,880 --> 02:20:57,280
something that can you just give me some

2935
02:20:55,479 --> 02:20:59,920
context on that I think it's a good idea

2936
02:20:57,280 --> 02:21:01,840
and I think it's approved um just can

2937
02:20:59,920 --> 02:21:03,600
you give you some context on it uh

2938
02:21:01,840 --> 02:21:06,640
typically any type of increases that

2939
02:21:03,600 --> 02:21:09,120
we're putting on to our accounts um you

2940
02:21:06,640 --> 02:21:11,680
know reflect you know the the

2941
02:21:09,120 --> 02:21:14,000
departmental or the industry best

2942
02:21:11,680 --> 02:21:16,520
practice so if there's a construction

2943
02:21:14,000 --> 02:21:19,000
inflationary item that we're putting on

2944
02:21:16,520 --> 02:21:20,640
I would rely on maybe Greg's area to

2945
02:21:19,000 --> 02:21:23,359
provide that information to tell us what

2946
02:21:20,640 --> 02:21:25,040
the going rate is and he would expect to

2947
02:21:23,359 --> 02:21:29,280
put that into the budget for those types

2948
02:21:25,040 --> 02:21:31,319
of items um the these ones in particular

2949
02:21:29,280 --> 02:21:33,040
we're just using 3% because that's what

2950
02:21:31,319 --> 02:21:36,760
the actual experience over the last

2951
02:21:33,040 --> 02:21:38,760
maybe five to six years has shown us um

2952
02:21:36,760 --> 02:21:43,399
the problem is is we rely on the actuals

2953
02:21:38,760 --> 02:21:45,880
or the history that's just one factor um

2954
02:21:43,399 --> 02:21:50,160
you know in this last period of high

2955
02:21:45,880 --> 02:21:52,520
inflation Supply supply chain issues um

2956
02:21:50,160 --> 02:21:53,880
difficulty hiring you know wage

2957
02:21:52,520 --> 02:21:56,040
increases there's a whole bunch of

2958
02:21:53,880 --> 02:21:59,040
different things that now kind of

2959
02:21:56,040 --> 02:22:01,120
influence it so we hope that it stays in

2960
02:21:59,040 --> 02:22:03,560
3% I can't be certain that that's going

2961
02:22:01,120 --> 02:22:05,920
to continue on into the future we may

2962
02:22:03,560 --> 02:22:07,920
have a anomaly or a spike coming in here

2963
02:22:05,920 --> 02:22:09,920
but that's generally what history tells

2964
02:22:07,920 --> 02:22:12,399
us for this area yeah I agree those are

2965
02:22:09,920 --> 02:22:14,479
all those are all out of your control

2966
02:22:12,399 --> 02:22:17,560
but I think you're exercising Prudence

2967
02:22:14,479 --> 02:22:19,439
by picking a percentage and that there's

2968
02:22:17,560 --> 02:22:20,760
a margin ER I me that's that's common

2969
02:22:19,439 --> 02:22:22,920
sense that's going to happen but I think

2970
02:22:20,760 --> 02:22:25,399
it's good work

2971
02:22:22,920 --> 02:22:30,200
so

2972
02:22:25,399 --> 02:22:30,200
thanks any other question of

2973
02:22:31,960 --> 02:22:35,120
coun thank

2974
02:22:37,640 --> 02:22:44,840
you you oh sorry

2975
02:22:40,600 --> 02:22:47,800
um are we de are we Contin on or are we

2976
02:22:44,840 --> 02:22:51,000
breaking I don't know if you want do you

2977
02:22:47,800 --> 02:22:53,520
want we're at debt financing I can speak

2978
02:22:51,000 --> 02:22:56,800
let's get through this how

2979
02:22:53,520 --> 02:22:59,560
before okay perfect okay so in front of

2980
02:22:56,800 --> 02:23:02,560
you here uh on this final this page 28

2981
02:22:59,560 --> 02:23:05,760
is the city of canar debt financing uh

2982
02:23:02,560 --> 02:23:09,000
24 to 26 budget um that's what this is

2983
02:23:05,760 --> 02:23:12,080
for so the the top section is

2984
02:23:09,000 --> 02:23:14,240
essentially our outstanding debt um

2985
02:23:12,080 --> 02:23:18,800
principle and interest for as it stands

2986
02:23:14,240 --> 02:23:22,000
for 2024 so we have 8.9 milli ion uh um

2987
02:23:18,800 --> 02:23:24,399
in outstanding debt which uh there's 2.6

2988
02:23:22,000 --> 02:23:28,560
million in interest attached to that so

2989
02:23:24,399 --> 02:23:32,359
what that equates to is a million 74,000

2990
02:23:28,560 --> 02:23:34,640
in annual repayment um today um you can

2991
02:23:32,359 --> 02:23:36,720
see off to the right I've uh included

2992
02:23:34,640 --> 02:23:40,800
the expiry so you can see when some of

2993
02:23:36,720 --> 02:23:42,200
those debt pieces fall off um you know

2994
02:23:40,800 --> 02:23:44,040
uh a number of those of course they're

2995
02:23:42,200 --> 02:23:47,279
going to go for a long period of time

2996
02:23:44,040 --> 02:23:49,040
you know the boat launch uh 2048 um the

2997
02:23:47,279 --> 02:23:52,560
idea is that we're advertizing that over

2998
02:23:49,040 --> 02:23:54,120
the life useful life um and we um that

2999
02:23:52,560 --> 02:23:57,600
that's our approach in terms of how long

3000
02:23:54,120 --> 02:24:00,359
we go with the debt um just yes so this

3001
02:23:57,600 --> 02:24:03,359
is the external um we're

3002
02:24:00,359 --> 02:24:05,120
forecasting um this the bottom section

3003
02:24:03,359 --> 02:24:07,800
is the new debt is what we're

3004
02:24:05,120 --> 02:24:09,319
forecasting and there's a number of day

3005
02:24:07,800 --> 02:24:12,479
uh years when they start we're planning

3006
02:24:09,319 --> 02:24:17,080
for it to come online from 2025 to

3007
02:24:12,479 --> 02:24:18,680
2028 and when that's all like uh so when

3008
02:24:17,080 --> 02:24:20,880
said all all that debts online we're

3009
02:24:18,680 --> 02:24:22,200
looking at about another 27 thou $27

3010
02:24:20,880 --> 02:24:25,840
million in

3011
02:24:22,200 --> 02:24:29,439
debt um which would equate so about $2.3

3012
02:24:25,840 --> 02:24:31,560
million annual repayment uh on all that

3013
02:24:29,439 --> 02:24:33,840
debt um so I think this is just

3014
02:24:31,560 --> 02:24:35,920
demonstrating you know here's where we

3015
02:24:33,840 --> 02:24:39,279
are with debt here's where we planning

3016
02:24:35,920 --> 02:24:41,880
to go with our debt limits um the chart

3017
02:24:39,279 --> 02:24:44,680
below uh kind of provides you some

3018
02:24:41,880 --> 02:24:47,040
context of when you know the spike in

3019
02:24:44,680 --> 02:24:50,120
annual payment will be and roughly

3020
02:24:47,040 --> 02:24:53,880
around 2027 we'll be up around that 2.32

3021
02:24:50,120 --> 02:24:57,920
2.2 million range and then it should

3022
02:24:53,880 --> 02:25:00,560
drop down to the 1.6 and go for 1.6 over

3023
02:24:57,920 --> 02:25:02,560
the next 10 years you know this is just

3024
02:25:00,560 --> 02:25:05,680
to give some visibility on the upcoming

3025
02:25:02,560 --> 02:25:09,520
debt um one things I would one thing I

3026
02:25:05,680 --> 02:25:12,120
would highlight is that we don't have um

3027
02:25:09,520 --> 02:25:13,000
the um Hospital project on here so any

3028
02:25:12,120 --> 02:25:15,359
of the

3029
02:25:13,000 --> 02:25:18,479
infrastructure um that's planned you

3030
02:25:15,359 --> 02:25:22,520
know it may result in a Deb a debt ad or

3031
02:25:18,479 --> 02:25:25,200
an add to the debt um load for us

3032
02:25:22,520 --> 02:25:27,479
um so you know we want to keep that in

3033
02:25:25,200 --> 02:25:30,680
mind I'm not sure I think preliminary

3034
02:25:27,479 --> 02:25:33,160
they're looking at 17 to 20 million um

3035
02:25:30,680 --> 02:25:36,080
it's hard to say at this point in

3036
02:25:33,160 --> 02:25:39,840
time um

3037
02:25:36,080 --> 02:25:42,240
the um so so with the debt we get a

3038
02:25:39,840 --> 02:25:43,880
provincial uh annual repayment limit is

3039
02:25:42,240 --> 02:25:48,080
what they provide us and it's based off

3040
02:25:43,880 --> 02:25:53,240
our financial return so what they say uh

3041
02:25:48,080 --> 02:25:55,880
our our limit is is 12.3 million so they

3042
02:25:53,240 --> 02:25:58,399
say we can have principal and interest

3043
02:25:55,880 --> 02:25:59,960
payments up to 12.3 million which I

3044
02:25:58,399 --> 02:26:02,920
think we all know around this tailes a

3045
02:25:59,960 --> 02:26:06,560
bit would was is way more than we are

3046
02:26:02,920 --> 02:26:08,479
comfortable with or we can afford um the

3047
02:26:06,560 --> 02:26:09,960
so we're working on a debt policy and

3048
02:26:08,479 --> 02:26:12,760
we're looking to do something in the

3049
02:26:09,960 --> 02:26:14,640
neighborhood of about 10% of our you

3050
02:26:12,760 --> 02:26:16,920
know our tax revenue or own source

3051
02:26:14,640 --> 02:26:19,359
revenue and so what that would mean is

3052
02:26:16,920 --> 02:26:21,560
if we took that approach our limit would

3053
02:26:19,359 --> 02:26:26,479
be somewhere in the range of 3 million

3054
02:26:21,560 --> 02:26:28,640
for 23 3.3 million in 24 around around

3055
02:26:26,479 --> 02:26:31,479
that around that area would be something

3056
02:26:28,640 --> 02:26:34,240
that we would be our upper limit of

3057
02:26:31,479 --> 02:26:36,200
course the affordability and the impact

3058
02:26:34,240 --> 02:26:38,040
of rate pairs also has to be taken into

3059
02:26:36,200 --> 02:26:41,600
account when we're making these types of

3060
02:26:38,040 --> 02:26:44,359
decisions um uh on

3061
02:26:41,600 --> 02:26:47,000
debt any uh

3062
02:26:44,359 --> 02:26:50,840
questions deputy mayor uh just a

3063
02:26:47,000 --> 02:26:54,920
question on DTR off

3064
02:26:50,840 --> 02:26:58,279
and um in 20 like in when we're doing

3065
02:26:54,920 --> 02:27:02,960
the 2023 budget capital budget didn't we

3066
02:26:58,279 --> 02:27:04,600
defer that to the very end of uh um I

3067
02:27:02,960 --> 02:27:09,319
was looking for here in the capital I

3068
02:27:04,600 --> 02:27:09,319
thought we defer that into

3069
02:27:09,800 --> 02:27:14,479
2026 you know at the October 12th

3070
02:27:12,520 --> 02:27:17,359
meeting this is the October 12th meeting

3071
02:27:14,479 --> 02:27:20,880
or am I one meeting early

3072
02:27:17,359 --> 02:27:22,479
anyways the the final page uh it's the

3073
02:27:20,880 --> 02:27:25,520
the final page on the capital budget

3074
02:27:22,479 --> 02:27:29,319
Council saw this this year and approved

3075
02:27:25,520 --> 02:27:32,200
uh study uh prep work in 2024 and

3076
02:27:29,319 --> 02:27:34,920
Construction in 2026 so that's still a

3077
02:27:32,200 --> 02:27:36,399
change uh that council could make at the

3078
02:27:34,920 --> 02:27:38,359
committee of the whole meeting would

3079
02:27:36,399 --> 02:27:40,279
come back on tackle but that's the

3080
02:27:38,359 --> 02:27:43,399
direction that council's provided to

3081
02:27:40,279 --> 02:27:45,200
Administration today okay my my mistake

3082
02:27:43,399 --> 02:27:48,520
I think that was probably the front end

3083
02:27:45,200 --> 02:27:50,840
of the meeting on this uh and I I recall

3084
02:27:48,520 --> 02:27:54,760
from last year and that I know we we

3085
02:27:50,840 --> 02:27:58,520
pushed it uh along the five years thank

3086
02:27:54,760 --> 02:27:58,520
you any other

3087
02:28:10,720 --> 02:28:17,840
questions um all right uh the final page

3088
02:28:14,120 --> 02:28:19,359
we have here is our uh schedule of

3089
02:28:17,840 --> 02:28:22,479
reserves

3090
02:28:19,359 --> 02:28:25,479
um essentially uh you know the opening

3091
02:28:22,479 --> 02:28:27,279
uh balance is uh forecasted of course

3092
02:28:25,479 --> 02:28:28,279
right now because this would be you know

3093
02:28:27,279 --> 02:28:30,600
there's

3094
02:28:28,279 --> 02:28:33,279
2023 uh adjustments that have to come

3095
02:28:30,600 --> 02:28:35,279
through and of course the 2022 is is UNA

3096
02:28:33,279 --> 02:28:37,080
audited so there's still some minor

3097
02:28:35,279 --> 02:28:40,040
adjustments but what that does it takes

3098
02:28:37,080 --> 02:28:42,760
into account our budgeted or planned

3099
02:28:40,040 --> 02:28:45,240
spending Reserve transfers and things

3100
02:28:42,760 --> 02:28:46,960
that have been appr previously approved

3101
02:28:45,240 --> 02:28:51,439
um to get us to the opening balance

3102
02:28:46,960 --> 02:28:53,080
balance um we have um the transfers to

3103
02:28:51,439 --> 02:28:56,800
reserves so these are the items that are

3104
02:28:53,080 --> 02:28:58,600
coming in from the operating we have the

3105
02:28:56,800 --> 02:29:00,560
transfer from the reserve so that could

3106
02:28:58,600 --> 02:29:02,399
be anything that's coming in between the

3107
02:29:00,560 --> 02:29:05,399
the reserve categories or into the

3108
02:29:02,399 --> 02:29:07,680
operating to fund uh for example a study

3109
02:29:05,399 --> 02:29:10,760
or something of that nature and then we

3110
02:29:07,680 --> 02:29:12,560
also have the capital contributions uh

3111
02:29:10,760 --> 02:29:14,640
which are funding actual capital

3112
02:29:12,560 --> 02:29:19,680
projects to get us to the closing

3113
02:29:14,640 --> 02:29:24,399
balance um and these are um grouped uh

3114
02:29:19,680 --> 02:29:28,200
in specific um groups I suppose special

3115
02:29:24,399 --> 02:29:31,120
purpose fiscal stabilization uh Capital

3116
02:29:28,200 --> 02:29:33,720
facilities or Capital Works um the

3117
02:29:31,120 --> 02:29:36,920
special purpose would be something like

3118
02:29:33,720 --> 02:29:39,920
snow clearing or winter

3119
02:29:36,920 --> 02:29:39,920
control

3120
02:29:41,399 --> 02:29:48,479
um not sure what else um so I think you

3121
02:29:45,160 --> 02:29:50,880
know we're moving um um slowly down you

3122
02:29:48,479 --> 02:29:53,000
know we're coming from 179 in terms of

3123
02:29:50,880 --> 02:29:55,600
our ending balance on the operating side

3124
02:29:53,000 --> 02:29:58,120
and it's coming down to 173 is what

3125
02:29:55,600 --> 02:29:59,760
we're forecasting so it's just it's a

3126
02:29:58,120 --> 02:30:01,240
it's a little bit of a further reduction

3127
02:29:59,760 --> 02:30:04,560
of The Reserve

3128
02:30:01,240 --> 02:30:07,439
balance um some of the larger reserves

3129
02:30:04,560 --> 02:30:09,160
maybe I can give you um some examples

3130
02:30:07,439 --> 02:30:11,720
would be like one of our you know

3131
02:30:09,160 --> 02:30:14,359
vehicle and Equipment um like the

3132
02:30:11,720 --> 02:30:18,840
vehicle replacement reserves that's a

3133
02:30:14,359 --> 02:30:21,800
fairly large one um if about

3134
02:30:18,840 --> 02:30:24,720
uh we have our contingency sitting at

3135
02:30:21,800 --> 02:30:26,560
around 2.6 we have like a working

3136
02:30:24,720 --> 02:30:30,279
capital reserve amount in there that

3137
02:30:26,560 --> 02:30:32,080
helps the city um you know pay bills and

3138
02:30:30,279 --> 02:30:34,680
have amounts in the bank so that we can

3139
02:30:32,080 --> 02:30:36,439
carry us forward into uh the taxation or

3140
02:30:34,680 --> 02:30:38,200
billing periods so there's so there's

3141
02:30:36,439 --> 02:30:40,720
Capital working capital in there that we

3142
02:30:38,200 --> 02:30:42,760
need 4.4 I just want to jump on that a

3143
02:30:40,720 --> 02:30:44,760
little bit more on that uh working

3144
02:30:42,760 --> 02:30:47,000
capital so a lot of municipalities many

3145
02:30:44,760 --> 02:30:48,680
in fact operate on a line credit like

3146
02:30:47,000 --> 02:30:50,680
when you're sort of waiting for the the

3147
02:30:48,680 --> 02:30:52,240
the tax revenue to come in we're very

3148
02:30:50,680 --> 02:30:53,960
fortunate that we're able to cash flow

3149
02:30:52,240 --> 02:30:55,520
that through our reserves so we don't

3150
02:30:53,960 --> 02:30:58,640
have a line of credit to support our

3151
02:30:55,520 --> 02:30:59,960
operations so um that that having a

3152
02:30:58,640 --> 02:31:01,279
healthy balance in there just really

3153
02:30:59,960 --> 02:31:03,359
helps us make sure that the bills are

3154
02:31:01,279 --> 02:31:07,040
getting paid as we wait on our

3155
02:31:03,359 --> 02:31:10,080
to intake periods can highlight that for

3156
02:31:07,040 --> 02:31:13,439
Council that's a prudent approach to to

3157
02:31:10,080 --> 02:31:17,040
uh to to carry us through versus the uh

3158
02:31:13,439 --> 02:31:18,439
paying on a line of credit um

3159
02:31:17,040 --> 02:31:22,479
uh another piece you know we have

3160
02:31:18,439 --> 02:31:24,680
another 1.4 in our parking Reserve um

3161
02:31:22,479 --> 02:31:28,000
and and then maybe there's the last one

3162
02:31:24,680 --> 02:31:31,200
I'll mention uh is the uh special

3163
02:31:28,000 --> 02:31:33,160
special purpose so the infra the land um

3164
02:31:31,200 --> 02:31:37,120
future Land Development is sitting at

3165
02:31:33,160 --> 02:31:39,080
about 3.1 million in that Reserve so

3166
02:31:37,120 --> 02:31:41,240
those are some of the high level uh

3167
02:31:39,080 --> 02:31:44,359
Reserve amounts of course there's some

3168
02:31:41,240 --> 02:31:47,080
smaller ones that are um used to help

3169
02:31:44,359 --> 02:31:49,840
facilitate some of projects and in other

3170
02:31:47,080 --> 02:31:49,840
items listed

3171
02:31:50,040 --> 02:31:54,560
here that's all there's any questions on

3172
02:31:58,920 --> 02:32:04,560
that is that uh is that

3173
02:32:02,680 --> 02:32:07,160
everything yeah at this point your

3174
02:32:04,560 --> 02:32:08,600
worship we would uh request a recess uh

3175
02:32:07,160 --> 02:32:10,000
and to come back to the special meeting

3176
02:32:08,600 --> 02:32:12,800
