Thank you very much Mr. City Manager. We have a

addendum items to the agenda move by Councillor answer a

seconded by the deputy mayor all in favor. All in

Thank you very much. Councillor Ferry. Thank you Mr. Mayor.
[6:15]
With respect to special counsel of June 16 2026 agenda
[6:20]
item one 2026 development charge background study. I neglected to
[6:26]
declare a potential indirect interest on the above noted matter
[6:30]
before council. It is my practice with early review all
[6:35]
agenda items which I did on June 16 2026. I
[6:39]
made a declaration at the committee the whole two related
[6:42]
to the above noted matter out in abundance of caution.
[6:48]
The timing of the special council meeting resulted in an
[6:51]
expert that it process I did not identify the potential
[6:54]
conflict in advance through inadvertance occasion by the aforementioned expedited
[7:01]
process. This was inadvertent. Oversight and there was no intention
[7:09]
to withhold the disclosure. Evidence by the fact that the
[7:13]
disclosure was in fact made as it relates to the
[7:16]
committee of the whole agenda. I am providing this declaration
[7:21]
of interest to ensure that the potential interest is disclosed.
[7:26]
And with respect to item 29 of the committee, the
[7:30]
whole two. I declare an interest on 2432 and 33.
[7:36]
And with regards to report 30 committee, the whole closed
[7:40]
session. I declared an interest on item 12 and 19.
[7:45]
Thank you Mr. Mayor. Thank you, Councillor Ferry. Mr. Clerk,
[7:48]
you've got all of those disclosures. Wonderful. Thank you. Can
[7:51]
I please get a mover in second or do adopt

Okay. Today we have two ceremonial presentations. I'm very excited

[9:52]
to, um, Shannon, who I see is making her way.
[9:55]
To the podium. Um, as I mentioned, today we have
[9:59]
two ceremonial presentations. The first one is exciting to me
[10:02]
because we get to acknowledge the incredible work of one
[10:05]
of our exceptional city staff. A member of our cities
[10:09]
parks, forestry, and horticultural operations team has been recognised for
[10:15]
excellence in arboro culture. Did I get that right, Shannon?
[10:19]
Okay, good. It's the first time I've ever said that
[10:21]
word out loud, which is very, very happy that I
[10:24]
got it right. So forestry inspector, Cary, Stea Hanson. Has
[10:29]
received the women in arboro culture, Ontario award of recognition
[10:34]
presented by the International Society of Arboro culture, Ontario. Who
[10:39]
knew I'd get to say it three times in the
[10:41]
same segment. Uh, honouring her for her expertise and leadership
[10:45]
in this field. The international society of our borough culture,
[10:49]
Ontario, awards of distinction, celebrate individuals and organisations making significant
[10:54]
contributions to our provinces, forestry sector. The women in arboro
[10:59]
culture, Ontario highlights and advances the role of women in
[11:02]
the field with its award of recognition on our ring
[11:06]
those who support and encourage women entering and growing in
[11:09]
the profession. Now we know that Vaughn is home to
[11:13]
so many remarkable parks and wilderness areas. And it is
[11:16]
truly vital for us, all of us, to be their
[11:19]
biggest champion. This acknowledgement tells me that our city is
[11:23]
on the right track. Through her role as a forestry
[11:26]
inspector, Carrie Hashon, a deep dedication to protecting and enhancing
[11:31]
bonds tree canopy, contributing to a greener, healthier, and more
[11:34]
sustainable city for all of our residents. And this award.
[11:38]
Reflects her expertise and professionalism and her leadership in commitment
[11:43]
to advancing the arboro culture industry. Cary, please accept our
[11:48]
warmest congratulations and thanks for your incredible work. Your passion
[11:53]
that we know infuses your work is something that we
[11:57]
think is truly remarkable and very special. And this is
[12:00]
a well - deserved honour. Before I turn things over
[12:03]
to Shannon, how about a big round of applause for
[12:06]
Carrie. Okay Shannon, all yours. Thank you,
[12:16]
Mayor Del Duca. Good afternoon members of council, staff and
[12:19]
guests joining us today. It is a pleasure to recognise
[12:23]
an outstanding member of our urban forestry team and individual
[12:26]
whose impact actually extends beyond this organisation. The award of
[12:30]
recognition from the international society of a bora culture, Ontario,
[12:34]
in partnership with the women in a boraculture, Ontario committee
[12:37]
celebrates individuals who have made meaningful contributions to urban forestry.
[12:42]
This award is presented to an individual who demonstrates leadership
[12:46]
in a strong commitment to supporting and encouraging women in
[12:49]
the industry. We are incredibly proud of Cary Stia Hansen,
[12:53]
a forestry inspector as this year's recipient. In her role,
[12:57]
she plays a critical part in protecting and maintaining our
[13:00]
urban forest, ensuring that development is balanced with preservation. And
[13:06]
that our tree canopy continues to thrive for future generations.
[13:10]
Cary brings with her two decades of experience. And after
[13:14]
16 years as a production arborist, she developed a strong
[13:18]
technical expertise in a deep connection to the profession. Through
[13:23]
her work as a tree climber, she has had the
[13:25]
unique opportunity to see cities and communities from a different
[13:29]
vantage point high up in the trees, shaping her perspective
[13:33]
and appreciation for the landscapes she now helps protect. Cary
[13:38]
is a member of the women in a borough culture,
[13:40]
Ontario Committee and was the driving force in its early
[13:43]
development. Her example has encouraged peers and emerging arborists alike
[13:51]
to see themselves as leaders, as experts and essential contributors.
[13:56]
She is also seen as a positive change in the
[13:58]
industry and is proud to witness the study growth in
[14:01]
the number of women entering the profession each year. Cary
[14:05]
once again, thank you for your dedication, your leadership and
[14:08]
the meaningful impact you continue to make each day.
[17:43]
Okay. You can tell it's the last council meeting before
[17:47]
the summer. Everyone's feeling giddy. Alright. As I mentioned earlier,
[17:54]
we do have one more ceremonial presentation. It's also very
[17:57]
exciting one. Can see lots of our great friends from
[18:00]
Von Soccer here today. Uh, on behalf of the city
[18:03]
of bond and members of council, I want to welcome
[18:06]
the Vaughn outsoury U18 girls. I'm going to say girls
[18:10]
eye model. Did I get that right. I'm looking, okay,
[18:13]
I see that I see nodding heads. The girls I
[18:16]
model team and the Vanaturi U17OPDL boys team. As well,
[18:22]
of course, as their coaches, team staff, families, friends and
[18:26]
supporters right here to there, to our Vaughn City Hall.
[18:29]
Thank you so much for joining us today for this
[18:31]
celebration. Now colleagues, these two teams have had a truly
[18:35]
remarkable soccer season. First, I want to congratulate the bonoed
[18:40]
sodium U18 girls. I model team for becoming 2007 girls,
[18:45]
Ontario Cup champions, which I think is fantastic. How about
[18:48]
a big round of applause. This team has had an
[18:54]
unbelievable season. Not only did they win their league, but
[18:57]
they went on to capture the milk up Ontario cup.
[19:01]
This championship is not only the largest club competition in
[19:03]
Canada. But also one of the oldest and most prestigious
[19:07]
sporting events in the country. This is a truly special
[19:11]
and remarkable achievement. And next, I'd also like to congratulate
[19:15]
the von U17OPDL boys who had become the 2008 boys
[19:21]
OPDL charity shield cup champions. Another big round of applause.
[19:29]
Their season has been nothing short about standing. They captured
[19:31]
the Gary Miller charity shield and claimed the championship of
[19:35]
the OPDL premier division for the second consecutive year. The
[19:39]
OPDL is the province's prestigious high performance youth league where
[19:43]
the standards are high and the competition is fierce. I
[19:47]
cannot emphasize enough how amazing these achievements are. To both
[19:52]
teams, please know that your winds go beyond the trophies.
[19:55]
You have demonstrated leadership. Sportsmanship and a commitment to excellence
[20:00]
that I know and we know inspires everyone around you.
[20:03]
From your teammates to your coaches to your families and
[20:06]
to our broader community. Of course I do want to
[20:09]
recognise the coaches, the team staff, the families, the friends
[20:12]
of the players, because I know the entire ecosystem of
[20:16]
support with the guidance and the encouragement played a huge
[20:21]
part and the team's successes. Congratulations once again to our
[20:26]
champions. We can't wait to see what you all accomplish
[20:29]
next. I'd now like to turn things over to Ward
[20:32]
I Councillor, Maryland and I Ayafrady to say a few
[20:35]
words. Thank you again and congratulations. Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
[20:41]
Um, I really am so proud of both these teams
[20:44]
and I really want to share my warmest congratulations to
[20:49]
both of you because you've all worked so hard and
[20:51]
you've rose to the occasion when it mattered most, demonstrating
[20:55]
skill, teamwork and a deep commitment to one another. You've
[20:59]
set a benchmark for what it means to be a
[21:01]
team and represented your club with pride and distinction, not
[21:06]
just your club, but also the entire community. And I
[21:10]
thank you for that. To the coaches and team staff,
[21:15]
uh, you're dedicated leadership and guidance for players as immeasurable.
[21:21]
For the family and friends, thank you for always being
[21:23]
in the Players Corner. I had a few other comments
[21:28]
that were shared with me that I thought, you know,
[21:31]
I want to put out there. Like this was a
[21:33]
remarkable. I'll start with the girls Ontario Cup champions. Um,
[21:38]
this was an enormous, enormous win for the girls. And
[21:43]
they've won so many championships, uh, you know, in the
[21:46]
last year or two. And they, um, you know, they've,
[21:50]
they've competed. So the, um, the final competition, which we
[21:55]
are recognising them for, aside being the oldest sporting event
[21:58]
in the country had over 12, 000 athletes and over
[22:04]
500 teams competing across 22 divisions. And this happens every
[22:09]
year. So with the girls, thank you for being here.
[22:12]
Thank you for showing off your medals. I always love
[22:14]
seeing that. And I'd also like to thank the coaches,
[22:18]
Marcello Capuzzolo and Gabe Leo and managers Mark Arduini and
[22:23]
Jennifer Lavorato. I think I said that right, correct? And,
[22:28]
uh, for the boys, the Gary Miller charity shield has,
[22:32]
it's a charity event and, um, it's a signature event
[22:35]
for the OPDL calendar. And it certainly demonstrates that player
[22:40]
development extend beyond the pitch encouraging leadership empathy and a
[22:43]
commitment to give back. And in having said that, that
[22:46]
team donated the proceeds, uh, from Ontario soccer to sick
[22:51]
kids. So thank you boys for the great work you've
[22:54]
done there. And I also would like to thank head
[22:57]
coach Luca Forno goalkeeper coach Dominic Gentile. Congratulations to both
[23:03]

[33:17]
to council C9 contains a recommendation. Move by the deputy
[33:21]
mayor. With the revised recommendation, second of our councillor bullpen
[33:26]
testa. Any comments or questions, seeing none, all in favor.
[33:31]
That has carried. Thank you. And number 19 from the
[33:36]
same report. Ontario land tribunal appeals. This is a disclosure
[33:40]
of interest when councillor fairy. Moved by councillor I Ayurvedy,
[33:44]
seconded by councillor Rosati. Any comments are questions, seeing none,
[33:49]
all in favor. That motion has carried. I believe now
[33:54]
Mr. Clark, it's the member's resolution addendum item. That's correct,
[33:58]
Mr. Mayor. Sorry. That's correct. Okay. So does anybody else
[34:03]
want to call it? I mean, this is my members'resolution.
[34:05]
I'd like to provide very brief comments, but I'm happy
[34:07]
to go last to Councillor Marto. You'd like to go
[34:09]
first. Yes. Councillor Marto. Thank you very much, Mr. Mayor,
[34:15]
for bringing this member's resolution forward to honour and commemorate
[34:18]
the victims of mass murder in Iran. Um, I think
[34:21]
that, uh, our community has shown that we are going
[34:24]
to stand in solidarity. Um, with the people who support
[34:28]
democracy and freedom. And, um, I would hope that maybe
[34:33]
the, um, kind of in person or to have some
[34:36]
kind of temporary plaque or something that we could do
[34:39]
to honour the victims or people could leave messages or
[34:42]
if there was anything that we could, um, I would
[34:45]
certainly support that. Does anyone else supposed to comment before
[34:50]
I provide some very brief reform marks? Anyone else? No.
[34:52]
Okay. Just so, I mean, it's, it's evident from, and
[34:55]
again, for those who might not have caught it when
[34:57]
we went through the earlier part of the agenda, the
[35:00]
title for the members resolution is honouring and commemorating the
[35:02]
victims of mass murder in Iran. I think everyone here
[35:05]
knows that this year has been an exceedingly difficult time
[35:08]
for the Iranian Canadian community, certainly here in our city,
[35:11]
but also right across this country. And frankly, right around
[35:14]
the world. And I'm very proud of the fact that
[35:17]
in partnership with the community, we were one of the
[35:19]
first city halls anywhere in this province to fly proudly.
[35:24]
The lion and sun flag on what might have been
[35:25]
the coldest night of the year, but there were still
[35:28]
several hundred von residents. And York region residents who braved
[35:31]
the weather and were here to very clearly make a
[35:35]
statement about the importance of supporting their loved ones. Um,
[35:39]
back home in Iran who are facing some of the
[35:41]
most horrific conditions imaginable as the terrorist regime and control
[35:46]
of that country now for nearly five decades was literally
[35:49]
murdering innocent people in the streets, their own people in
[35:53]
the streets, people who are simply looking to live a
[35:55]
world in a world or in a country where freedom,
[36:00]
equality, democracy, writes the things that we tend to take
[36:03]
for granted here in Canada. Um, could we come part
[36:06]
of their daily life back home in Iran. Colleagues will
[36:10]
remember. We also hosted here on a Saturday many, many
[36:14]
weeks ago a bit of a vigil, well not a
[36:16]
bit of a vigil. A vigil to honour the tens
[36:19]
of thousands who were slaughtered by the terrorist regime in
[36:22]
Iran. I raised these things not to be excessively somber,
[36:25]
but I raised them because I'm proud of the fact
[36:27]
that here in Vaughn, we have not, we have not
[36:30]
sat back as spectators while the Iranian Canadian community in
[36:34]
our city has been suffering. And while it's being so
[36:37]
difficult, we have demonstrated our commitment in our solidarity with
[36:41]
the community and proudly. So then I believe this resolution
[36:45]
is a natural extension. The natural next step and demonstrating,
[36:50]
um, our solidarity and our desire and determination to stand
[36:55]
shoulder to shoulder with the community that continues to suffer.
[36:58]
Uh, these last number of months. And these last number
[37:00]
of decades. So I am very proud to bring this
[37:03]
forward. I'm chairing the meeting today. So I'm not going
[37:06]
to move it. But perhaps our deputy mayor will officially
[37:09]
move the resolution. And it can be seconded by Councillor
[37:12]
Marto. I'm not sure if anyone else. Thank you. If
[37:15]
anyone else has any comments or questions, but I just
[37:18]
want to reiterate to our friends in the Iranian community
[37:21]
here in the city of Vaughn and beyond the city.
[37:24]
Please know through your suffering, through your good times, through
[37:27]
your challenging times. You are not alone. We are proud
[37:30]
to stand with you. And we always will. With that,
[37:34]
I will call the question. Oh, sorry. Mr. Chair, on
[37:37]
the recorded vote. Mr. Clerk, the deputy mayor has requested
[37:40]
a recorded vote. Thank you everyone. Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
[37:48]

[38:22]
Motion passes unanimously. Thank you very much, Mr. Clark. And
[38:26]
thank you to all of my colleagues for supporting this
[38:29]
resolution and this initiative unanimously. Mr. Clerk, are there any
[38:33]
staff information memos? There are none, Mr. Mayor. Thank you.
[38:38]
Can I please get a motion that bylaw 165 -
[38:42]
206 be adopted as amended in accordance with communication C11
[38:48]
that bylaws 158 - 2026 159 - 206 - 160
[38:54]
- 2026 and 161 - 2026 be adopted as amended
[39:00]
in accordance with communication C12 that the bylaw numbers 128
[39:05]
- 206 and 129 - 2026 beaver moved from the
[39:10]
June 23rd, 2026 council agenda and not adopted in accordance
[39:14]
with communication C - 13 and that the remaining bylaws
[39:18]
be adopted, including addendum bylaw 133 - 183 - 206.
[39:25]
I didn't want to panic the clerk there. Can I
[39:27]
get that move by Councillor Reinsworth. Second by deputy mayor
[39:31]
Jackson, all in favor. That has carried. Can I get
[39:34]
an emotion to adopt the confirming bylaw, moved by councillor?
[39:38]
Iyefratey, seconded by councillor ferry, all in favor. That motion
[39:42]
has carried. And now for the last time before the
[39:45]
summer break, not really a break, but the summer, what
[39:47]
do we call it? The summer recess hiatus, uh, can
[39:51]
I please get a motion to adjourn. Shockingly from councillor
[39:55]
of open testa, seconded by Councillor Marto, all in favor.
[40:00]
Thank you very much. This council meeting is officially adjourned.
