1 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:37,760 Okay. Like to call to order the uh regular council meeting for the town of 2 00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:41,800 Dbury for Monday, December 15th. Uh the time is 5:00. Exactly. 3 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:54,760 Uh first item adopt the agenda as amended. 4 00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:02,800 » I move that council adopt the agenda as amended. We need to add an item 5 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:08,959 enclosed. I think would be 12.4. Is there something we would be calling 6 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,680 » trade vision discussions >> trade vision discussions 7 00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:21,040 to vote? All in favor 8 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:24,200 close. So car 9 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:39,360 so I don't think we have any delegations. Um to move on to uh four on 10 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:45,000 the agenda which is the adoption of minutes from November 25th, 2025 regular 11 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,000 council meeting. 12 00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:57,239 Move to adopt the November 25th, 2025 council regular council meeting minutes 13 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,239 as presented. 14 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,159 All in favor? 15 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:06,360 Opposed? So car 16 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:20,120 on to the CEO report. Everyone's had time to review that. 17 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,479 Can I get a motion for the CA report? 18 00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:35,680 I move that uh council accept the CAO report this information. 19 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:40,120 Okay, open up the floor to debate. There any questions, comments? 20 00:04:47,919 --> 00:04:53,919 » Okay. Uh, I know this question can't probably be answered here tonight 21 00:04:52,080 --> 00:05:00,960 because I don't think anyone from BO is here, but um, did we actually pull over 22 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:07,120 a gentleman going 99 kilometers an hour in a km hour zone on 20th Avenue towards 23 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:11,039 Highway 582. How do you get to that speed in that 24 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:16,000 section? I get it. I know there's no answer. I'm just bringing it to to light 25 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:22,400 the amount of speed that this gentleman was traveling at or I shouldn't say 26 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:27,360 gentleman. I don't know. Uh this person I was kind of shocked by the sheer 27 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,360 number of violations that there were. 28 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:39,120 there any other >> just maybe it's more appropriate for the 29 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:44,000 protective services third quarter report. 30 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:50,479 Uh no that's where we're at right. So, um I noticed that the 31 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:57,280 the there's tickets being included in the jurisdiction between the 32 00:05:52,960 --> 00:06:03,720 east side boundary and 2A. Um is that part of our jurisdiction? Maybe that's 33 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,720 something that 34 00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:09,919 » I would wager that because we can perform moving violations. We may be 35 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:14,000 authorized under the traffic safety act too, but generally we stay in the 36 00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:17,360 boundary. Now, if the call began inside our boundary and then we had to pursue 37 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:21,360 them outward, then it becomes a provincial ticket that we would then 38 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:25,199 hand over to the province and they would collect in fine revenue and things of 39 00:06:23,039 --> 00:06:28,240 that nature as well. But we're still keeping the road safe from speeders 40 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,680 either way. So, >> maybe that's something we can find out 41 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:37,600 whether or not these locations are where the stop was initiated or where the stop 42 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:40,600 actually found out. Um 43 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:52,400 um and it looks like the grouping of tickets are on 582 44 00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:59,599 um right by if it's where they are stopped and ticketed. That's right by 45 00:06:55,039 --> 00:07:05,039 the um the west the west side there by those acreages. Um that looks like the 46 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:11,520 strongest uh number of ticketing and also then 47 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:16,319 going down the hill by on 582 towards the stop sign. 48 00:07:13,919 --> 00:07:22,240 So the thought crossed my mind to reduce the speeding. Is it worth considering a 49 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:28,080 speed radar flashing sign for town with placement in primary violation areas? 50 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:34,560 You know, how much do they cost? Um I see it in some towns where they've uh 51 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:39,440 you know, you're going one kilometer over slow down or 52 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:45,440 whatever. I mean, something that will help reduce the number of tickets that 53 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:52,560 are being made and whether that actually happens when you have those signs. Is 54 00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:55,960 there the basis for slowing people down because of it? 55 00:07:56,479 --> 00:08:05,440 » Certainly, there's always the argument for preventative features like comic 56 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:09,039 signs like that. The question becomes um do you want to have that amended and 57 00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:13,440 added into the budget based on costing in the first quarter once we go to the 58 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:18,160 final round of amendments before passing our tax bylaw? Do you want to talk with 59 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:21,919 your citizenry on what kinds of other traffic calming ideas they may want you 60 00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:25,440 to consider? You don't have to open up the whole can of worms now that we've 61 00:08:23,759 --> 00:08:29,199 discussed it publicly. If everyone who's watching knows that there is not 62 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:33,440 actually a radar taking a photo of you, will it continue to be effective? The 63 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:38,000 flashing sites with the speed that changes though uh definitely have a 64 00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:42,719 calming effect on my hippie foot. Um so I would imagine for all human that it 65 00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:46,959 may also work for others. Yes. Um administration can look into it however 66 00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:50,320 you like us. I would think using the resources that 67 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:55,120 we have in place with our enforcement officers already focusing their efforts 68 00:08:52,000 --> 00:09:00,640 there might just be enough to on those key areas. 69 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:05,279 » Okay. And if I mean if it's something that can be considered in the future, it 70 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:09,760 doesn't have to be immediate. Just I'm just throwing it out there as a as a 71 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,959 thought. >> Given the nature of 582, I think that's 72 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:16,080 where we're going to see a lot of our worst offenders, right? 73 00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:26,160 Yeah, I think when I see the speed limits that people are achieving um on 74 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:33,600 four of them being pulled over and ticketed uh we tried the warning thing 75 00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:38,560 and it um it really fell short and uh you know was instructed as well as the 76 00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:43,680 RCMP focus was stop the education and start ticketing and if it gets expensive 77 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:48,399 enough maybe they'll slow down. We don't people injured on our streets. 100 78 00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:54,880 kilometers an hour in town is just absolutely unacceptable. I find myself 79 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:59,600 going too slow sometimes a little too. Anyway, I can't imagine doing 100 down 80 00:09:56,560 --> 00:10:02,600 20. That's just unacceptable. 81 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:12,440 Any further comments on the CEO report? No. Okay. To a vote. All in favor? 82 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:17,320 opposed. So carried 83 00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:22,519 takes us on to item number seven. 84 00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:29,959 Bylaws and policies 7.1 is repealing bylaw 2025-18. 85 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:41,040 Everybody had a chance to review that. Sorry. Go ahead. Sure. Thank you. 86 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:45,560 Uh, I move the council grant first reading to repealing bylaw 2025-18. 87 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,560 » All in favor? 88 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,880 » Oh, have you already? >> No, that's fine. Yeah. 89 00:10:53,760 --> 00:11:01,680 » Good. >> Um, just a question. Will this include 90 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:06,800 doortodoor sales licensing? >> Yeah. 91 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:11,600 » If it's a business town. Okay. The the sorry councelor Kwans the 92 00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:15,360 only way that it may not is if hawker peddler licensing is expressly provided 93 00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:18,800 for as a requirement in the land use bylaw where it may sometimes show up in 94 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:23,040 municipalities but I'm getting the signal from staff it's not there. So yes 95 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:29,360 the hawker pendler license requirement also goes away. People are free to come 96 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:34,399 and do business in Dsbury without the extra administrative step as per the 97 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:41,600 request of council. So just a question, will this have some 98 00:11:37,519 --> 00:11:47,120 unintended consequences of a plethora of unwelcome doortodoor sales people 99 00:11:44,959 --> 00:11:52,680 targeting our town? >> I seem to get those anyway, but that's I 100 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,680 would say that's a possibility. 101 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:59,240 » Hard to gauge is the administration's response. 102 00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:07,279 » Um I I agree. I had one in my yesterday. I asked for a business license, they 103 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:10,720 could not provide it. So the the issue we have with business licenses, I see 104 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:16,320 people in town paving and doing all kinds of stuff without um I think this 105 00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:21,120 council can certainly very quickly come back and create uh something because my 106 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:26,079 question too was uh this should be an advantage for our local uh merchants. I 107 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:30,399 think we should probably still continue on getting the bylaw passed if that's 108 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:35,440 the will. Um, but we can we can bring back that if you're from out of town, 109 00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:40,480 uh, you certainly can require licensing. Um, and that's that's up to council to 110 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:44,720 decide and and I would, uh, I would recommend that we do that. Um, that 111 00:12:42,399 --> 00:12:49,760 gives our businesses a little bit of an advantage, but uh, I don't I don't know 112 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:56,320 how people are controlling the non-licensing. Um, 113 00:12:52,480 --> 00:13:00,399 as the mayor said, they just show up. We could come up with a more targeted 114 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:06,000 bylaw that covers that, I'm sure. >> And I don't mind passing this like I'm 115 00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:13,760 in favor of passing it now. >> Just just being attentive to what's 116 00:13:08,399 --> 00:13:17,279 actually happening on this back. Thanks. >> Any other questions or comments? I 117 00:13:15,839 --> 00:13:25,600 apologize for jumping into the vote on that. Sorry. Let's find out. 118 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:31,600 Oh, okay. All in favor? Opposed? Okay. 119 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:36,120 » And uh I move the council grant second reading to repealing bylaw 2025-18. 120 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:43,800 » And I'll just make sure I don't repeat the same mistake. There any comments or 121 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,800 concerns here? 122 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:55,440 » I had an editing just a few editing uh questions with it. 123 00:13:51,440 --> 00:14:03,440 page 22 of my is that the right one 22 124 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:11,839 that's that is the new by okay um 125 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:16,399 where it talks about uh after the second whereas 126 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:21,440 take out the following whereas we have too many where's 127 00:14:19,199 --> 00:14:21,440 I 128 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:28,160 If you can find that. I see I see two. Normally you saying there's a third on 129 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:32,040 your copy. >> No, the second line. 130 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:39,839 » Got um that's one editing uh suggestion I 131 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:44,480 have. And then 132 00:14:41,839 --> 00:14:49,480 also in that sentence to read that have become obsolete. And it says 133 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,760 become 134 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,600 ineffectual 135 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:06,120 changed. Where is that at? I'm sorry. 136 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:17,839 It says it the way it's supposed to now that have become ineffectual or no 137 00:15:15,519 --> 00:15:23,519 longer aligned. That's okay. I I thought there was a 138 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:26,519 word obsolete in there. Um and 139 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:35,079 that's all. Thank you. So, how do we handle it? 140 00:15:35,199 --> 00:15:39,839 Can you restate the that you're looking for 141 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:44,079 » just the whereas >> second paragraph of whereas there is 142 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:48,959 whereas twice in a row so it's just a >> typographical we can catch that in the 143 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:54,320 copy or hang on a second please miss back feel free to use the microphone 144 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:58,160 » thank you chair the second whereas and then doing it now therefore that's 145 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:01,680 common structure for bylaw writing I know that grammatically it doesn't make 146 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:06,880 a whole lot of sense but that's the common structure 147 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,880 » sure thank you for the clarification 148 00:16:13,279 --> 00:16:21,000 Anything further on the second reading? >> No. Okay.

Uh 203 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:31,520 item 8-1, accessibility parking allocation request. 204 00:22:33,919 --> 00:22:39,880 I will uh turn that over to my director of public works, Greg Fox. 205 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:51,120 Thank you, Council. Um we've had a request from a part from a resident to 206 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:56,880 uh apply a accessibility parking space in front of the home. This one's down in 207 00:22:53,120 --> 00:23:02,320 Valer Roa Drive number six. Uh just in from the corner of the the subdivision 208 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:08,960 entrance. Um administration doesn't have any concerns with this request at this 209 00:23:04,159 --> 00:23:13,120 time. Happy to ask answer any questions >> and I'm understanding this is a 210 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:20,240 designated street parking space. Yeah, the applicant or the requesttor um 211 00:23:16,159 --> 00:23:24,799 is mobility impaired and so have access for the handy bus and such to be able to 212 00:23:22,159 --> 00:23:28,640 to come in and park. Um they've asked for this parking spot. According to the 213 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:32,559 bylaw, this is council's jurisdiction for traffic control measures. Um so 214 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:37,760 administration sort of receives requests and brings them directly to you. So 215 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:42,840 » okay, is there comments or questions? We'll 216 00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:42,840 get the motion afterwards. 217 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:47,760 I'm going to talk about it, but go ahead because I just got off the phone and I 218 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:54,080 don't think I have as much information as you do 219 00:23:49,679 --> 00:23:59,520 on that. I'd like to read a statement. Um, at first, I mean, it's important to 220 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:07,039 get this request right. It's a sensitive issue. Um and uh it may be useful to 221 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:11,679 develop a policy to guide applicants applications for individualized 222 00:24:08,799 --> 00:24:16,440 residential accessibility parking unless we already have one. Maybe we do. 223 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:23,520 Do we have one? >> No. No formal policy exists. This is 224 00:24:21,919 --> 00:24:27,440 just what we've been using as word so far. 225 00:24:23,919 --> 00:24:32,559 » Okay. So, uh, consideration of setting a precedent for individual residential 226 00:24:30,159 --> 00:24:38,320 accessibility parking around town. Make sure it's from pinto pin, for example, 227 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:43,360 rather than hedge or tree or fence feature to feature as there are 228 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:48,880 potentially a property struggles happening between neighbors, not saying 229 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:54,000 that there is here. Um, have neighbors needs or impact been considered the 230 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:59,120 neighborhood such as a neighbor's need also for accessibility parking or how 231 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:05,440 the bus door lines up with the resident sidewalk etc. Uh what are all the issues 232 00:25:02,159 --> 00:25:11,919 behind the request and in in a tight parking area which that is I I lived in 233 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:17,360 this residence actually. Um in a tight parking area what impact will it have on 234 00:25:14,159 --> 00:25:23,120 the neighborhood? revisers, we guess. Um, since there's no parking available 235 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:30,799 there for those who don't have a handicap, does that put pressure more on 236 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:34,000 a tight uh tight parking area? And what happens when they move and no 237 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:39,279 accessibility is needed for that resident again? Um, these are issues 238 00:25:37,120 --> 00:25:46,559 that may arise if other requests are made. Um, and maybe it's not a precedent 239 00:25:43,039 --> 00:25:52,720 already being set, but if it is, um, I'm just wondering how it will affect if we 240 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:59,679 have more and more wanting to access and their front space being designated as as 241 00:25:57,120 --> 00:26:04,559 handicapped and and I'm not sure what the alternative is. Carry on as they've 242 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:08,320 been doing, but uh, that's what I'd like to put on the table. 243 00:26:06,559 --> 00:26:14,039 » Question for Director Fox through the CEO. Um, how many of these do we 244 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,039 currently have in town? 245 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:20,240 » I'm not familiar with the quantity that we have around town, but I do know that 246 00:26:17,919 --> 00:26:24,960 it has been done previously. There's an example on the block just to the north 247 00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:30,080 of us here where the resident has a wheelchair signs put up because they are 248 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:34,559 handicapped resident. Um, so like I say, the bylaw just sort of stipulates that 249 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:39,240 this is council's jurisdiction and we just bring the information forward to 250 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:47,120 if council wanted to u administration together something that ties into or 251 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:52,159 shoots off of our traffic by law, it could be done. Um my understanding in 252 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:56,000 practice is that we typically cannot designate a parking spot like that of 253 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,520 that nature in front of a personal residence or private residence 254 00:26:57,360 --> 00:27:03,679 exclusively for that person. I think the practice is that anybody who has a 255 00:27:01,039 --> 00:27:06,799 placard can use it and it would be there for the duration of the resident who 256 00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:11,200 holds the placard living in that residence. Afterwards it can go back 257 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:14,240 from blue to yellow or be blasted off. But it certainly would be convenient for 258 00:27:12,799 --> 00:27:17,760 them to know that there is a reserved set of space in front of their residents 259 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:24,320 for community transportation that's specific to their needs um can park and 260 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:29,120 access. So these are factors you could consider um more formally. I mean we 261 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:32,400 could do a policy or it could become some sort of subset of regulations 262 00:27:30,559 --> 00:27:37,039 within the traffic bylaw as well. Either or one is stronger than the other as an 263 00:27:34,159 --> 00:27:40,720 instrument. I would say consider whether you want to create a positive obligation 264 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:44,159 to give the space as long as certain criteria are met so that there's some 265 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:48,559 consistency for the applicants who are disadvantaged mobility wise that want to 266 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:52,559 know for sure that this isn't going to become a big debate about whether the 267 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:55,360 neighbors can trump them based on you know but we've seen other 268 00:27:53,440 --> 00:28:00,799 characteristics come in under appeal for for various things. So it's council's 269 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:05,520 intention to try to draft a policy that iners to the benefit of the applicant. 270 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:08,880 Is that what I'm understanding? Yeah. >> Okay. 271 00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:12,559 So, we can work on something like that if it's the wish of council. Just give 272 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:17,520 me a motion and direct us to do so and we can talk about timelines and 273 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:20,399 components and criteria. But today, yes or no under the current authority you 274 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,600 have would also be helpful and then we can formalize it a little better. What 275 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:28,480 are your thoughts? >> Um, I have a couple concerns. One is 276 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:32,720 that there's, as Norm maybe sort of alluded to, is there's more to this 277 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:38,159 issue than than just the, you know, having a designated 278 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:42,799 park for a disabled person. Um, but I would be open to considering as 279 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:46,240 long as it's clear that that spot is for any disabled person, not for the 280 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:50,799 homeowner that lives there. Um, specifically, um, because we don't do 281 00:28:48,799 --> 00:28:55,200 designated parking on streets for residents. Um those spots are available 282 00:28:53,840 --> 00:29:00,880 to anyone who chooses to park their first come first serve. Um this would 283 00:28:57,039 --> 00:29:04,919 just be a handicap disabled first come first serve. I guess in this case 284 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:12,960 » I I think uh I know councelor Mah about to go. I would just say that I think we 285 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:16,720 would certainly codify the current practice in writing so that it's clear 286 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:23,200 that it's for anyone but that's where that spot happens to be for now. 287 00:29:20,399 --> 00:29:23,200 » Motion for that. 288 00:29:24,799 --> 00:29:32,880 Um, just before I got council here tonight, I got a call from the next door 289 00:29:29,279 --> 00:29:38,720 neighbor to this applicant. And apparently it's been a an ongoing fight 290 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:49,120 with parking back and forth as of all of Ala's very tight friend. um parking. Um 291 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:56,240 apparently the the applicant won't let anybody park in front of this house, 292 00:29:51,279 --> 00:30:01,279 including his own um um guests, they come to his house, so 293 00:29:58,799 --> 00:30:06,000 they park in front of the neighbors. So, it's an ongoing fight with like four or 294 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:09,600 five neighbors down there from what I understand. 295 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:17,360 And now he's going to use this as a trump card to stop anybody. 296 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:20,360 So I think we need to make a clear clear 297 00:30:21,279 --> 00:30:29,360 policy on if you have a handicap like Chris said you have an endap sticker you 298 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:33,240 can park there it's not owned by the person that owns the house 299 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:42,000 that's just my comments from the neighbors. And the other thing is too is 300 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:45,600 for building permits. We have we're on four houses. 301 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:49,399 We interview all the neighbors and see what they think of it. 302 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:55,919 It's a valid point. It might require some 303 00:30:53,039 --> 00:31:00,320 consultation. I guess put well with permitting for building structures and 304 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:05,039 that sort of thing. So, if we're going to make a a designated parking spot in 305 00:31:03,039 --> 00:31:09,679 front of one person's house, I think all the neighbors should be aware of it 306 00:31:06,399 --> 00:31:14,440 before it happens. >> Any other thoughts? I'd like to hear 307 00:31:10,799 --> 00:31:14,440 from some of the other council. 308 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:22,640 » Cars parked in front of my house all the time. I haven't done a lot. It's big and 309 00:31:20,559 --> 00:31:26,720 I get pissed off every time someone is parked in front because they use it for 310 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:29,840 parallel parking practice all the time. So, I come home and there's people 311 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:34,320 parallel parking. They love it. They just love my spot. But it's uh yeah, I 312 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,919 think there needs to be more information. Like I don't want to say I 313 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:42,480 don't believe this person or anything like that. Is this like all I have is 314 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:46,799 this person requesting this right now. This is all been substantiated. They use 315 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:52,640 the handy bus all the time. Like this is the level of their mobility or are we 316 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:58,720 setting a precedent to Yeah. Neighbors could just get this willy-nilly. I don't 317 00:31:55,279 --> 00:32:04,480 I don't see any other information. requesting a spot. So, 318 00:32:02,159 --> 00:32:08,480 » and yeah, there if there's people having an issue with it and it's very tight. 319 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:12,519 Um, >> that that's an issue to me. 320 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:23,039 » So, I I'm kind of coming at it from the other side. Uh we deal with some 321 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:33,120 mobility issues and uh the um handicapped or or disability parking 322 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:38,480 spots uh definitely uh serve a great purpose. Uh I do agree that it should 323 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:45,679 not be limited to one person like that only one person can park there. If if it 324 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:55,200 if it is accepted, it is designated as a disabled or or I don't know that we use 325 00:32:48,399 --> 00:33:01,120 I guess I don't know. Um but that it is very clear that it is not a personal 326 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:08,720 parking spot for one individual. It is designated as for handicap. Um, but 327 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:14,000 again, uh, as councelor Lambert said, we're we're coming at this with very 328 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:22,720 little information. I don't I don't know anything about the level of of of 329 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:27,440 mobility and uh, the degree at which um, it's it's a tough decision to make 330 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:30,799 without having more facts. I guess for me, 331 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:35,200 I agree. I think we've got about a quarter of the picture that we need to 332 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:38,679 see to make a decision on this. Anyone disagree? 333 00:33:39,919 --> 00:33:50,640 » I would like that. I move that uh administration 334 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:56,640 um take this discussion and develop some parameters around 335 00:33:53,279 --> 00:34:03,440 a parking space such as this. Is that too big? Okay. 336 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:07,360 » Any further debate on the motion is put forward? 337 00:34:05,279 --> 00:34:11,200 » We did. Yeah. Just his motion, right? We didn't make 338 00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:15,000 » No, we haven't made any others. Okay. Uh all in favor of the motion 339 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:20,359 opposed. So carried. 340 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:28,839 Okay. Item 8.2 is the 2026 capital budget. 341 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,480 Somebody put forward a motion. 342 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:56,240 » Okay. Yes, please. I'd move to adopt the 2026 capital 343 00:34:54,480 --> 00:35:02,079 budget as presented totaling an estimated amount of 1 million314,000 344 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:06,520 and funded from the following sources. Operations 36,18 345 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:13,000 reserves 619,21 346 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:22,680 and provincial grants 553,500 and other grants 105,191. 347 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:30,440 Okay, I'll open the floor up to debate, comments, questions if there are any. 348 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:43,640 Okay, go ahead. Um, 349 00:35:44,079 --> 00:35:50,680 page 62. Hope that's still the same page 350 00:35:52,160 --> 00:36:00,280 on the virtual machine server upgrade. Has a grant funding source been pursued? 351 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:07,320 PA message for these. 352 00:36:09,119 --> 00:36:16,640 » Thank you. Um there we haven't pursued a grant for 353 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:25,920 this there. You could always use the CCBF grant or the um LGF grant 354 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:31,520 would likely qualify. Um however, 355 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:37,040 typically um those grant funds are saved for road 356 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:42,160 projects um rather than 357 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:47,480 and like heavy equipment if required rather than um server upgrades. 358 00:36:48,079 --> 00:36:56,880 I was just thinking there should be some kind of a technical grant available, 359 00:36:53,680 --> 00:37:04,520 technology upgrades, etc. that doesn't take away from our roads and stuff 360 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,520 mindset. 361 00:37:06,079 --> 00:37:12,440 » There's no grant that I'm aware that would cover that unfortunately. 362 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:17,920 » Okay. Anything further? 363 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:25,160 Okay, >> got another one. Sorry. 364 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:37,560 » Turn your mic on. >> I'm not sorry. Oh. Um on number page 64. 365 00:37:38,079 --> 00:37:47,200 Um the deferral impact. Does this crossing 366 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:53,040 need crossing arms as is mentioned? Uh would just lights be suitable for how 367 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:57,520 infrequently a train runs this crossing? For example, 582 crossing doesn't have 368 00:37:55,440 --> 00:38:03,920 arms. And there was just a mention of crossing arms at the bottom of that uh 369 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:10,240 title deferral impact. It says of crossing arms and legs. I'm just 370 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:14,680 wondering if we're considering the whole shooting or not. 371 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:22,240 » To the best of my knowledge, the the gates come with the package when you 372 00:38:20,079 --> 00:38:26,960 pull the stop sign out. We can double check that in our conversations with 373 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:30,480 CPKC once we get going in that dialogue. But I have always understood it that 374 00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:35,520 that's a full suite of uh measures that come together and that is what you have 375 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:40,720 to have in place in exchange for putting out the stop sign. 376 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:44,960 But we can we can double check on it. >> Yeah, if if there was a less costly 377 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:51,520 version obviously would like to explore that um because the price tag for that 378 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:57,760 is fairly steep. So yeah, thank you councelor Quans. That's it. 379 00:38:54,079 --> 00:38:57,760 Okay. Anything else? 380 00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:04,119 Okay. Um, all in favor? 381 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,960 Okay. So, carried. 382 00:39:14,240 --> 00:39:22,200 Item 8.3 is the 2026 to 2030 multi-year capital plan. 383 00:39:28,720 --> 00:39:36,280 I move to adopt the 2026 2030 multi-year capital plan. 384 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:42,040 Open up the floor to debate, comments, questions. 385 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:50,680 No. Okay. To vote then. All in favor? 386 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:57,400 Opposed. Okay. It's okay. 387 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:05,240 That brings us to item 8.4, which is the 2026 operating budget. 388 00:40:09,599 --> 00:40:13,000 You want to push for 389 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:34,040 the 207 2029 multi-year operating plan as 390 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,040 presented. 391 00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:43,119 » We are on >> Oh, sorry. 392 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:43,119 » 8.4 the operating budget, right? 393 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:53,480 to approve the 2026 operating budget with the total revenues before the 394 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:53,480 municipal tax levy of 7,882,235 395 00:40:53,760 --> 00:41:03,319 and a total expenditures of 13,252 396 00:41:00,319 --> 00:41:03,319 $100,86. 397 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:19,359 » Yep. That was good. Yeah, it's fine. Uh, and I'm going to add a second. 398 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:22,400 » Yeah. Do that first to forgo the council. 399 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:26,079 » Yeah. Yeah. No. Um, I'd like to add to that motion with a second that is to 400 00:41:24,079 --> 00:41:33,560 forego the cost of living adjustment for the 2026 year for council renumeration. 401 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,560 » Okay. 402 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,760 » To the chair. Did you need two motions there? 403 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:47,680 » Okay. >> Okay. So, we'll do it separately. 404 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:53,160 » Yeah. So, just just pull your motion back if you can and redo it. Yeah. 405 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,359 » Yeah. Great. 406 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:10,640 » Excellent. Uh I think we debated this quite a bit, but I'll just ask if 407 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:16,960 there's any other questions or comments around this motion before we ahead. No. 408 00:42:13,599 --> 00:42:21,200 Okay. So, all in favor? Opposed. 409 00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:21,200 Okay. 410 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:31,400 Part two to approve the 2026 operating budget total revenues before the musical 411 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:31,400 tax levy 7,82,235 412 00:42:32,079 --> 00:42:36,440 and totales of 13,252,00 413 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,160 questions or comments around 414 00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:53,480 No. Okay. All in favored. 415 00:42:56,319 --> 00:42:59,560 So carried. 416 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:11,720 And that takes us to item 8.5, which is the 2027 to 2029 multi-year operating 417 00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:11,720 plan. 418 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:25,400 I move to adopt the 2027 to 2029 multi-year operating plan as presented. 419 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,400 Open the floor to debate. 420 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:33,160 Oh, sorry. 421 00:43:34,319 --> 00:43:41,280 We didn't really get to discuss this much 422 00:43:39,119 --> 00:43:46,800 before. We spent a lot of time on budget stuff, 423 00:43:43,359 --> 00:43:48,960 but we didn't really look into this. >> It was there review, but we didn't spend 424 00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:51,960 a lot of time. >> Right. 425 00:43:54,079 --> 00:44:01,400 » Just so everybody's aware, I don't know. We spent enough time on it. That's for 426 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,400 sure. 427 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:13,520 So, just for council's comfort, um the multi-year operating plan, um we just 428 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:19,599 have to have council review it and update it each year. You could look at 429 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:25,520 it at any time in the new year and it doesn't it does not form part of the 430 00:44:22,079 --> 00:44:33,440 budget. So, there's nothing in 27 to 29 that we can um that we could go ahead 431 00:44:29,839 --> 00:44:38,240 and um spend When it comes to 2027 budget, that'll be 432 00:44:35,839 --> 00:44:43,680 council's perview to adopt a new budget year. And it and most likely, I've never 433 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:49,119 seen them equal the multi-year operating plan. So, at that time, you'll get um 434 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:55,920 total say over what the budget looks like. And for the most part, the 435 00:44:52,079 --> 00:45:01,119 operating plan is um we start with the current year budget 436 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:09,720 and then add a layer of inflationary adjustments on the cost. So um the 437 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,720 multi-year plan 438 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:18,960 while it looks maybe high as far as the municipal tax that he required, there 439 00:45:17,119 --> 00:45:25,240 would be other adjustments when we actually into the 2027 budgeting that 440 00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:25,240 would impact that. 441 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:30,720 » I just want to say thanks for the clarification. 442 00:45:29,359 --> 00:45:34,720 » So, it' be fair to say that this is basically a forecast. 443 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:41,760 » Correct. >> Okay. Thank you. 444 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:49,040 Okay. Any other comments or concerns? No. Okay. Vote. All in favor? 445 00:45:47,359 --> 00:45:52,280 Opposed? So carried. 446 00:45:54,160 --> 00:46:04,480 Okay, that brings us to item nine, which is council reports. 447 00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:08,960 Everybody had a chance to review those. Okay, 448 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:12,480 we get a motion on that one. Sure. Thank you. 449 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:18,800 I'd like to make a motion to accept the December 15, 2025 council reports as 450 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:22,240 information. Are there any questions on the two 451 00:46:20,319 --> 00:46:28,359 reports? >> Should the others that didn't submit a 452 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,359 report report? 453 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:36,520 Verbal council members will each provide a 454 00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:36,520 verbal report. 455 00:46:38,240 --> 00:46:51,280 » Yeah, I have a MPC report and our plan library report and the waste management 456 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:58,319 for the Yeah, the waste report um the NBC November 26, 2025 457 00:46:55,440 --> 00:47:04,880 Cher match days on his chair as the vice chair uh three permits uh 458 00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:14,800 pass the main chain uh thing that we voted on was the uh homeation dog 459 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:19,680 uh was uh it was on in a business shop and they wanted to 460 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:24,160 move it to their home location. That was approved and they amended condition six 461 00:47:22,079 --> 00:47:28,200 which was hours of operation will be from 9 to 6 p.m. 462 00:47:29,839 --> 00:47:35,680 And that was the operational meeting as well 463 00:47:33,599 --> 00:47:38,680 for the mic 464 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:46,839 and for the parkland library. Um 465 00:47:49,839 --> 00:47:55,680 decisions on investments were reviewed twice a year $140,000 when investment 466 00:47:54,160 --> 00:48:03,000 portfolio 2026 board meeting dates were decided 467 00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:03,000 meeting will be at 10 a.m. 468 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:10,680 They also updates on directors vehicles and 469 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:17,800 the municipal board gave updates on what was happening in their library 470 00:48:23,599 --> 00:48:32,079 for the waste uh the waste commission. 471 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:38,240 There was talk about one of the things that they talked specifically about was 472 00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:42,400 23rd Street and just the ongoing discussion of that because the other 473 00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:49,680 council was putting pressure on them to not be able to use the road. So that was 474 00:48:46,240 --> 00:48:55,760 a big concern for them and we I let them know that the new council is looking to 475 00:48:52,160 --> 00:49:02,079 be working with them. The um the dump is a major if we don't allow them access 476 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:06,800 they'll some other way and it will cost us. So yeah, it's um that was a big 477 00:49:05,359 --> 00:49:13,520 discussion. We got their reports. The Dun is doing very well. They have a lot 478 00:49:08,720 --> 00:49:17,640 of room and um we just voted on a wage increase as well that passed. 479 00:49:19,599 --> 00:49:23,559 » Any other reports? 480 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:31,319 » No, I had no committee meetings. just the two workshops. 481 00:49:32,240 --> 00:49:42,079 I was also in NBC with Troy on those and as well as we had a deact meeting, but 482 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:42,079 it is mostly in camera. 483 00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:50,599 lots of good discussions on what's possibly coming to town, but 484 00:49:47,599 --> 00:49:50,599 again 485 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:58,880 uh I will add personally that um I attend well I attended many of the same 486 00:49:56,559 --> 00:50:02,079 events that councelor Quans attended. Um the country Christmas which I thought 487 00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:07,119 was an excellent excellent event was well put together given the amount of 488 00:50:04,720 --> 00:50:11,440 leadup time that they had to to organize all of that. thought it was a great and 489 00:50:09,119 --> 00:50:17,119 and worthwhile event. But I also had the pleasure of participating in the uh CBKC 490 00:50:14,559 --> 00:50:22,240 uh Christmas train last week which I thought was excellent. Um no, I did not 491 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:28,240 get to pull the train whistle unfortunately. Um but uh we excellent 492 00:50:25,839 --> 00:50:31,760 turnout. I thought um you know the the railier was was quite full. They 493 00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:36,559 estimated our members to be around 900 people that had showed up in attendance. 494 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:40,160 So that's in my opinion pretty strong support for 495 00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:45,599 our little town. So, that's great. Um, I will say that they do 496 00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:48,319 take account for very specific reasons. So, we need to be mindful of that and 497 00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:52,319 make sure that we get out and support these events because 498 00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:56,079 other towns are always vying for these spots. So, bring your families out, come 499 00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:59,839 and support these events, make a donation to the food bank if you have 500 00:50:57,359 --> 00:51:04,640 the ability to do so. Um, I know I did that day, so I was happy to do it. Um, 501 00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:09,760 but yeah, great event. and uh got to ride the train to Air Tree, which was an 502 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:12,640 interesting experience. And that was the last stop for a group 503 00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:16,319 of people that had been on there for I think it was 57 shows was the number 504 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:18,960 that I heard. So they they' done that quite a few times by the time they got 505 00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:23,280 to see us. So >> I'm sorry. 506 00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:27,520 » Yes, they all retired. I'll just add to that. Uh I didn't 507 00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:32,079 attend the CPKC in an official capacity, but I was there in the audience with my 508 00:51:29,119 --> 00:51:36,160 daughter and uh everyone I spoke to had a great time. up on the edge of the 509 00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:43,119 train station balcony looking out over the group and uh it was it was a lot of 510 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:47,599 fun to be out there despite the cold and I I agree. I think it was a great 511 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:51,520 showing and I'd love to see just even more. 512 00:51:49,119 --> 00:51:55,040 » Yeah, the amount of uh funds and and food that they raise is incredible. I 513 00:51:53,839 --> 00:52:00,480 can't remember the exact numbers now, but it was basically a million dollars a 514 00:51:56,800 --> 00:52:03,920 year and it was like I think trying to remember the pounds of food. I 515 00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:06,319 think it was tons of food that they raised if I recall the numbers 516 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:09,040 correctly. >> I saw it at one point. It was part of my 517 00:52:07,839 --> 00:52:14,640 speech, but the guy before me said it also said cut off. 518 00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:18,520 So anyway, all right. Anything further on council reports then? 519 00:52:18,720 --> 00:52:24,800 » Not on report. I just want to touch on on what you said about the country 520 00:52:22,079 --> 00:52:30,480 Christmas. It was put on in a a very short time and I think um it was very 521 00:52:27,839 --> 00:52:36,160 wellreceived. Uh the evening was good. It was cold. Um But, uh, I I'm looking 522 00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:41,119 forward to next year being even better. And I think, uh, we should just really 523 00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:44,720 publicly thank all of the volunteers that that gave their time up to make 524 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:50,800 that that happen. And I believe that's what you were you you said. I'm just 525 00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:55,359 kind of piggybacking on you, but uh, it was it was a great event and, uh, I'm 526 00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:58,720 looking forward to next year. >> Yeah, I think the list of volunteers is 527 00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:02,480 probably a little too long to go into here. We the we run out of time because 528 00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:06,160 there were a lot of people involved including a whole bunch of people in 529 00:53:04,079 --> 00:53:11,319 this room. So I want to again just thank everybody for their efforts. It's 530 00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:11,319 definitely a great event. 531 00:53:11,839 --> 00:53:20,480 All right. Um motion for this already accepted. Yes. Thank you. So all in 532 00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:25,359 favor of accepting this uh reports these reports information 533 00:53:23,839 --> 00:53:29,000 opposed. Okay. So car. 534 00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:39,640 » Okay. We're on a correspondence and information. 535 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:49,599 Okay. If you would council questions, I'd like to move to accept the 536 00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:53,280 correspondence for December 15, 2025's information. 537 00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:57,359 » Are there any questions or comments? to open up the floor to debate if any 538 00:53:55,680 --> 00:54:00,359 anything on any of the occasions that we received. 539 00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:09,680 » Um curious that the uh midsize town mayor caucus I was attended this meeting 540 00:54:06,720 --> 00:54:15,599 on behalf of of our mayor um and recognizing our former mayor Mrs. Rhonda 541 00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:20,640 Hunter for her uh time spent with the midsize town mayors as their chair. I'm 542 00:54:18,559 --> 00:54:25,160 wondering if this correspondence will be shared with her beyond council. 543 00:54:25,359 --> 00:54:31,040 » Yes, we can forward a copy to her. >> Excellent. Thank you. 544 00:54:29,359 --> 00:54:36,000 » Thank you. >> Anything else, Quans? 545 00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:42,000 » And I I want to uh the correspondence section of this uh agenda is very long. 546 00:54:39,359 --> 00:54:46,240 One of the longest I've ever seen >> and has been a fair bit of comments. 547 00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:51,359 Most of that was from the RCMP presentation 548 00:54:47,839 --> 00:54:59,599 and um I tried to wait through that as much as I could. Um but I wanted to 549 00:54:55,680 --> 00:55:05,839 commend the RCMP for putting the data that they have out to the public instead 550 00:55:02,720 --> 00:55:12,400 of uh just coming and saying, "Hey, we want to be your police force." uh they 551 00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:17,920 actually put some uh you know long data together and I just wanted to make that 552 00:55:15,119 --> 00:55:21,079 a public expression of appreciation for the RCMP 553 00:55:23,119 --> 00:55:31,280 comments. >> I've got two I'll start with a quick 554 00:55:27,359 --> 00:55:36,240 one. Um, similar to what councelor Quan said, I've um I've been really happy to 555 00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:41,440 see a lot of correspondence in general u from members of the community various 556 00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:46,079 entities, organizations, and I just I guess I want to see that continue. I 557 00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:51,920 hope that it does. I like seeing open discourse in, you know, 558 00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:58,480 accessible spaces and I think it uh I think it bodess well. Um, and the second 559 00:55:54,559 --> 00:56:05,520 point is actually a curiosity of mine. I was really intrigued by 560 00:56:02,720 --> 00:56:12,319 the letter from Just make sure I get the name correct. Paige Murphy from the 561 00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:17,680 three minor hockey association regarding uh the live barn streaming system for 562 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:24,880 the arena. Uh, at its core, I'm really intrigued by 563 00:56:21,359 --> 00:56:30,319 this. I think um I'd love to hear from other members of council as well. Uh I 564 00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:36,160 know more than a little bit about streaming platforms and I think that I 565 00:56:34,720 --> 00:56:42,960 looked at their website. I looked at their various offerings to venues and I 566 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:46,480 think it's a fascinating one. Um one that I would want more information on 567 00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:52,240 certainly before any decisions would be made. But uh I'm really curious if 568 00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:56,240 anyone has either experience with this particular entity before through other 569 00:56:54,400 --> 00:57:00,799 venues. I know for example I don't have a lot of experience when it comes to 570 00:56:58,319 --> 00:57:05,760 sporting events only the the streaming element of it. So 571 00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:09,599 I was curious if anyone else has uh used this platform, experienced it and if we 572 00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:12,960 could down the road get more information about it. 573 00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:17,200 Yeah, I had some questions, concerns of my own and maybe council Hong can can 574 00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:21,280 answer some of that, but it's, you know, privacy issues, recording minors in 575 00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:24,799 public, stuff like that that kind of, you know, bring the hairs up on the back 576 00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:31,520 of my neck a little bit. So, >> so I think we're probably one of the 577 00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:36,319 last arenas to have it put in. Um, I think it was probably 578 00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:42,559 five years ago. I was watching my nephew play hockey in the air green ring 579 00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:47,119 through live barn. Um, so it's it's been around for a long 580 00:57:45,359 --> 00:57:53,680 time. Like I say, I think we're probably one of the last drinks to go in. I know 581 00:57:51,680 --> 00:58:00,240 the Colts were on it, but now they've moved to another platform that the 582 00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:04,240 league is has kind of pushed them to called Faux Sports, but that's a whole 583 00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:10,559 different ball game because they take over your their their 584 00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:16,319 website, their web page. It's all mainly now. The league's kind of taken that 585 00:58:12,319 --> 00:58:22,559 over, but Live Barn, it's just on the ice. So, it's so 586 00:58:20,079 --> 00:58:27,359 grandpa can watch their grandkids and you know I like I say I watched my 587 00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:30,359 nephew play hockey in air >> so 588 00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:36,000 » I definitely see the belly of it as a as a parent who couldn't always be there 589 00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:40,079 for hockey camps >> and that's that's what a lot of the 590 00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:45,839 parents you know if one or more kids in hockey one's in Silven Lake one's in air 591 00:58:43,359 --> 00:58:49,359 well then they can be watching on their phone they can be watching like Silvin's 592 00:58:47,839 --> 00:58:58,720 got and um and this one as well. Live barn. 593 00:58:54,559 --> 00:59:03,040 Um so that's primarily I think and and aunts and uncles and whoever else want 594 00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:09,040 to watch it. Like I say, I I think we're probably one of the last ar 595 00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:14,079 and it's it's a league thing. It's not just 596 00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:20,240 we're bringing this as a streaming. It goes through there's all sorts of 597 00:59:16,319 --> 00:59:20,240 leagues on it like from 598 00:59:24,319 --> 00:59:30,440 I think we should seriously look at comm. 599 00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:41,200 » Yeah, I'd love to with the opportunity to speak um and it was in the letter it 600 00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:46,400 was offered for um Dave Murphy to speak with us in some sort of meeting and or 601 00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:51,760 the live barn team. Um I personally love to hear I think there are valid privacy 602 00:59:49,119 --> 00:59:56,000 concerns as well as uh structural concerns. Uh I believe the system's 603 00:59:53,680 --> 01:00:00,880 automated anytime anyone goes on the ice by default, which seems very good on 604 00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:04,960 paper, but what about just public skating? What about, you know, private 605 01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:09,119 event? What about when the ice isn't in the arena? There are a lot of questions 606 01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:16,960 I have about how the system itself works and how it could be set to benefit 607 01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:23,520 DSbury and memorial complex. I think what is presented is accurate. It could 608 01:00:19,839 --> 01:00:29,839 come at essentially no cost to the town with potentially significant benefit. Um 609 01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:34,400 I just think it would be I think we we can't I would love to look into it. 610 01:00:32,799 --> 01:00:39,760 Okay. Or perhaps we could invite them to come as a delegation to a future meeting 611 01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:46,079 if I may. Actually, councelor Mahome council first. Sure. I just wanted to 612 01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:52,839 see if Amanda had any other thoughts on this 613 01:00:47,599 --> 01:00:52,839 as you have kids in in minor hockey. 614 01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:08,400 » Yeah. So this is obviously outside my role as CFO but as a parent um 615 01:01:07,599 --> 01:01:16,319 » that's >> yeah as a parent and I have used like 616 01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:20,880 live farm before um the person watching would pay a subscription and you'd be 617 01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:27,200 able to access it from your phone in some sort of device. Um, and you are 618 01:01:25,359 --> 01:01:32,480 able to go back a number of days and watch past 619 01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:36,720 events as well. So, let's say there was like 620 01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:42,880 tryyous or that sort of thing that you wanted to go back and watch or allow 621 01:01:39,839 --> 01:01:48,720 your child to see how their game went and do like a playbyplay. Um, 622 01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:54,680 it is in most arenas that you go to now. Um, 623 01:01:57,040 --> 01:02:00,040 Okay. 624 01:02:02,799 --> 01:02:08,000 I think uh for the community, it's probably good, like Will said, to look 625 01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:13,839 into it, inviting members as a delegation, how to explain to us some of 626 01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:18,559 the the security questions that you have. I would like to watch my my 627 01:02:16,079 --> 01:02:22,799 grandchildren play and sometimes they're they're in four different locations, so 628 01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:28,000 that's just selfish to me. This would, you know, has to be good for 629 01:02:24,319 --> 01:02:32,480 the town, but I I think we ought to uh at least have the delegation to explain 630 01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:36,240 and answer their questions. Sounds good. Yeah, I think I think we 631 01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:40,240 just need to be cognizant of anything like this that we put into a space, 632 01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:46,880 there are going to be some people that have privacy concerns. So um 633 01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:50,319 so to that end with especially with the new privacy legislation, our privacy 634 01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:54,880 coordinator would be doing privacy impact assessment that would be required 635 01:02:52,720 --> 01:03:00,799 before anything and then there would likely do some conversations with the 636 01:02:57,040 --> 01:03:04,640 provider, their privacy policy, um conversations with the stakeholder 637 01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:09,599 groups to get their support for consent to share that space and time when teams 638 01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:14,160 are playing. There is some administrative leg work that would need 639 01:03:11,119 --> 01:03:16,799 to be done and perhaps the first group you may want to chat with before you 640 01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:20,640 talk with Live Martin unless you referring to them all as the Dinsbury 641 01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:23,280 Minor Hockey Association and just bring them in and see if they've done their 642 01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:27,200 homework too because there's other purveyors out there as councelor Mahome 643 01:03:25,119 --> 01:03:30,720 said the the Colts team uses a different one um if we're paying for it depending 644 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:35,440 on the cost there may be a procurement policy requirement involved to get 645 01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:38,079 multiple codes I'm not sure um but also in a quick conversation I had with the 646 01:03:36,799 --> 01:03:43,599 director who couldn't be here tonight she's Well, unfortunate breaks before 647 01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:48,079 the holidays, but um the revenues received from subscription may not 648 01:03:45,039 --> 01:03:51,280 necessarily cancel out the cost. Telus would have to flip the switch, put the 649 01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:55,680 fiber back onto the building in order to do that, but they have what's required 650 01:03:53,839 --> 01:04:01,039 there. administration will be working to get in 651 01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:04,720 touch with Telus um and then have that conversation present I guess a more 652 01:04:02,799 --> 01:04:08,880 detailed breakdown in the new year on what those costs would be how this stuff 653 01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:12,160 works and then which community stakeholder group should be consulted 654 01:04:10,319 --> 01:04:17,760 and what privacy requirements we would have to meet 655 01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:24,400 I guess maybe so two things number one I'm sorry the director's unwell pass 656 01:04:20,079 --> 01:04:29,440 along our associate feels better Um but uh yeah, I think this is something for 657 01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:33,520 future consideration. Um we can perhaps as a first step have the association 658 01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:38,359 come in and speak to it and then we can go from there and do our our due 659 01:04:35,359 --> 01:04:38,359 diligence. 660 01:04:39,359 --> 01:04:47,280 » Sorry, let's see. Uh this is this is a world I live in on 661 01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:52,799 a daily basis with postsecary sport. Um, and so there's a lot of areas uh that 662 01:04:49,839 --> 01:04:57,200 our CA has mentioned already that I think need to be addressed by our our 663 01:04:54,720 --> 01:05:01,760 people that deal with privacy. Um, the key thing would be that with this one, I 664 01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:08,640 assume it's like the majority of them, you can um set up the times when it is 665 01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:13,280 in session and out of session. Um, and uh, but that will be very important that 666 01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:17,760 it would be controlled by a party that is recognizing that, which would likely 667 01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:22,880 be administration um setting those timelines uh because in 668 01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:28,799 the past in particular with this one uh there there have been times when it's 669 01:05:24,559 --> 01:05:32,720 been inadvertently videoing uh an arena and then it became a privacy thing 670 01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:39,119 because those people that were using the arena at that time did not sign any 671 01:05:35,599 --> 01:05:44,720 documentation to be used. Um so yeah there be things as as our CEO is 672 01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:49,359 preference but um this is of this time and age and we need to be considering 673 01:05:47,359 --> 01:05:54,039 something whether it's live bar or some other alternative way 674 01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:58,440 any other comments around 675 01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:06,079 my curiosity of live barn the name of it I think it comes from the farming 676 01:06:04,079 --> 01:06:10,960 community where they have cameras looking at their cattle 677 01:06:07,839 --> 01:06:16,920 animals. Am I Am I correct? >> Is that close? Barn is an old hockey 678 01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:16,920 term. 679 01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:24,319 » That's where he used to play. >> Okay, I think we'll uh we'll digress and 680 01:06:23,119 --> 01:06:29,280 move on from this. It sounds like we've exhausted all the discussion around it. 681 01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:35,680 Um there any other correspondence anybody wants to address? 682 01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:38,680 No. Okay. All in favor of adopting the information 683 01:06:39,839 --> 01:06:44,680 opposed. So carried. 684 01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:51,760 That takes us on to question period which is item 11. Um are there any 685 01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:54,760 questions from the >> gallon? 686 01:06:58,319 --> 01:07:03,440 No, I wouldn't have any questions at all. 687 01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:07,240 » Next. >> I I got a few. 688 01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:14,240 » Thank you, mayor and council for giving me the opportunity to to address you. Um 689 01:07:12,559 --> 01:07:18,079 I have a few things that I wanted to say. One of the things that I found 690 01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:25,520 alarming in the statistics from enforcement is the number of of uh uh 691 01:07:23,119 --> 01:07:31,119 warnings as opposed to the violation of tickets. the warnings seriously 692 01:07:28,799 --> 01:07:35,680 outnumber the number of tickets given and I think that maybe there needs to be 693 01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:41,039 a switch in that. Um, as far as the business licenses and 694 01:07:38,079 --> 01:07:45,280 and diminishing or eliminating business licenses, I'd be interested to know how 695 01:07:42,799 --> 01:07:50,640 council plans to monitor the business enterprises that are operating in town. 696 01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:55,760 I think that you have crippled your economic development officer in being 697 01:07:52,880 --> 01:08:01,359 able to do her job effectively. I think that it is a disservice to the community 698 01:07:57,839 --> 01:08:05,280 to not have a accurate and adequate list of what enterprises are operating in 699 01:08:03,359 --> 01:08:10,160 town. And I expect that we're going to see people that are coming here that 700 01:08:07,359 --> 01:08:14,640 aren't licensed and that people here will utilize enterprises that are not 701 01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:21,600 necessarily local businesses because of that. My feeling. 702 01:08:18,239 --> 01:08:25,600 Um I'm extremely disappointed. Maybe I should back up and I'll try a different 703 01:08:23,199 --> 01:08:30,319 way here. Um, I'm really pleased to see that 17th Street Sidewalk was added to 704 01:08:27,679 --> 01:08:33,839 the uh capital budget. I appreciate that. That was something that I brought 705 01:08:31,679 --> 01:08:39,839 forward last meeting and I appreciate that that was included in the budget. I 706 01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:45,600 was disappointed that 19th Street wasn't um um included. I don't even know if it 707 01:08:43,199 --> 01:08:50,080 was considered. Um, I do realize that there are some complications associated 708 01:08:47,759 --> 01:08:54,480 with 19th Street, but I would have liked to have heard some discussion as to why 709 01:08:52,319 --> 01:08:59,040 it wasn't included or why it was overlooked. Um, that would have been a 710 01:08:56,880 --> 01:09:04,880 valuable thing for me be having brought that forward. I'm extremely disappointed 711 01:09:02,319 --> 01:09:09,759 that the public wasn't g engaged and given the opportunity to look at the 712 01:09:06,719 --> 01:09:13,759 budget, capital and operating budget. It is now passed and I'm going to give you 713 01:09:11,759 --> 01:09:19,199 some examples. One of the things that talks about in in the uh capital budget 714 01:09:16,799 --> 01:09:24,640 is lighting, LED lighting in the complex. There's that complex is a big 715 01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:29,920 big facility and the arena was already done last year. So, I'm wondering what 716 01:09:27,199 --> 01:09:34,319 part of the complex is is is getting the new LED lighting because it doesn't give 717 01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:40,239 us anything like that in the background or anything else. Um, in terms of 718 01:09:37,679 --> 01:09:45,839 reserves, I I appreciate that the council has gone forward with a a 719 01:09:42,719 --> 01:09:52,080 capital budget where it isn't impacting to a great degree the t taxation and tax 720 01:09:49,839 --> 01:09:55,440 taxes to the residents. However, 721 01:09:53,679 --> 01:10:02,880 um, through the capital budget and the operating budget, the reserves have been 722 01:09:58,239 --> 01:10:08,080 diminished by close to $850,000. That's the future. 723 01:10:05,199 --> 01:10:12,880 and to be reduced by $850,000. That's I'd have to do some calculating 724 01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:18,320 and and figuring, but how many street sidewalks that is when you consider that 725 01:10:15,199 --> 01:10:23,199 the sidewalk was increased by $75,000 and part of that was out of reserves. 726 01:10:20,480 --> 01:10:29,440 50,000 of that was out of reserves. It it it it cripples your future. It really 727 01:10:26,480 --> 01:10:35,120 does. That's one example. Um 728 01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:41,360 uh I I I I think that it would have been really good opportunity for you to have 729 01:10:38,480 --> 01:10:45,840 brought this budget both budget to the community to see let them look at it. 730 01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:50,560 Again, I'm extremely disappointed with it that it wasn't brought to the 731 01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:53,920 community to have a look at and discuss. Anybody that tells you that the survey 732 01:10:52,159 --> 01:10:58,080 that was done on the budget is and and that was adequate is is is deceiving 733 01:10:56,400 --> 01:11:03,120 themselves. uh survey is is superficial and and has 734 01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:06,320 nothing. These are the numbers that we have to look at and I'm very 735 01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:11,440 disappointed that it was passed tonight. Both of them are passed tonight. Thank 736 01:11:08,719 --> 01:11:14,679 you for your time. >> Thank you. 737 01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:23,520 » Well, I have to say something too. I don't come enough and I'll sit down 738 01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:26,480 first. I don't think I need the mic. Do I need the mic? 739 01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:31,199 » Yes. Does anybody not know who I am? I'm just 740 01:11:28,480 --> 01:11:36,400 kidding. This is Deb Pelchce, resident Pittsburgh. Um, I haven't come to every 741 01:11:34,159 --> 01:11:41,679 meeting, but now I have another question. Has the public ever been given 742 01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:46,239 the opportunity to input on the budget in the past four years? Ever? 743 01:11:44,719 --> 01:11:50,640 » Yes. >> Other than a survey, 744 01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:55,000 » we had public meetings before >> and and who was told about that? 745 01:11:55,600 --> 01:12:03,840 Okay. You know what? It's really easy to judge. Um, but no, I I feel that's been 746 01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:08,719 lacking in the 22 years I've moved back and it's in my opinion. I don't know how 747 01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:13,840 you get through it all. Um, I know how hard it is to get public engagement. 748 01:12:11,440 --> 01:12:18,080 So, I I filled out the survey. I didn't do more. So, I'm guilty. But, I don't 749 01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:21,679 recall there being much effort in the past either. Um, I actually had no 750 01:12:20,480 --> 01:12:26,239 questions, but now that we talked about this handicap parking thing, I just have 751 01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:30,400 to add a comment on that. I do a lot of home care and if every single senior in 752 01:12:28,719 --> 01:12:33,760 this town that had a home care pass applied for a pass, we wouldn't have 753 01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:38,560 enough concrete. I I don't disagree and I understand that 754 01:12:36,239 --> 01:12:41,520 there's a need, but I think if we start stepping outside of commercial 755 01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:45,120 boundaries and people have the ability to apply for a pass in front of their 756 01:12:43,199 --> 01:12:48,080 home, we're just giving them another reason to fight. And there's there's not 757 01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:52,159 going to be any parking spots available that aren't handicapped. If if every 758 01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:58,960 single person that had a card holder in this town applied that has a residence. 759 01:12:55,040 --> 01:13:03,520 So, just keep that in mind. Um I I I don't think it's a good idea 760 01:13:01,199 --> 01:13:08,239 personally. Um and that's it. I just wanted to say hi and thanks so much and 761 01:13:05,679 --> 01:13:12,280 appreciate you guys being here. Thank you. 762 01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:30,000 Okay. Um, I think we need a uh I think we need a motion. 763 01:13:27,440 --> 01:13:36,920 » Yes, please. If you wouldn't mind. I move that council go to close at 611. 764 01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:43,480 All in favor? opposed. 765 01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:47,800 » So carried. 766 01:13:52,239 --> 01:13:59,040 » Excellent. Um we'll call the meeting back to order at 7:24 p.m. Um we have 767 01:13:57,280 --> 01:14:03,920 one final piece of business that's on the schedule, which is the uh proposed 768 01:14:01,679 --> 01:14:08,199 grant application. And where do we go with that? Um, 769 01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:13,960 did you want to uh No. Okay. 770 01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:39,360 I would move that the council decline the can expo grant opportunity to attend 771 01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:45,760 the handover Germany in 2026 and the joint invest 772 01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:49,080 Alberta cape redear poly technic and the trade mission. 773 01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:59,239 I'll open the floor to debate before we vote. Is there any further comments on 774 01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:59,239 this or questions? 775 01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:07,960 No. Okay. Uh all in favor of the motion to 776 01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:07,960 decline. 777 01:15:08,480 --> 01:15:17,600 Opposed. So carried. 778 01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:23,280 Okay. That brings us Thank you. uh to our final motion for 779 01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:31,400 the night which would be to adjourn. >> I motion that we 780 01:15:25,840 --> 01:15:31,400 council or adjourns the meeting at 7:25. 781 01:15:33,199 --> 01:15:37,159 Okay. All in favor? 782 01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:42,280 So carjour.
