Thank you. 60 00:04:37,026 --> 00:04:41,026 So now we're at consent agenda, part two bylaws.

And again. 74 00:05:35,457 --> 00:05:37,097 None. All right. We'd look for a mover in a 75 00:05:37,097 --> 00:05:41,983 second or for consent agenda. Part two. Council of price. 76 00:05:43,201 --> 00:05:46,441 And councillor McKinnon. Thank you. Moved by council at Price, 77 00:05:46,441 --> 00:05:50,819 seconded by councilor McKinnon. The council hereby consider the following 78 00:05:50,819 --> 00:05:54,259 items of the consent agenda, part two bylaws under date 79 00:05:54,259 --> 00:05:58,339 of September 22, 2025, is read and adopted by law 80 00:05:58,339 --> 00:06:04,046 2025 56 and bylaw 20 25 57. All in favor? 81 00:06:06,096 --> 00:06:12,421 Very. Thank you. So we are now back to regular 82 00:06:12,421 --> 00:06:14,621 agenda, which, out of consent, each item on the regular 83 00:06:14,621 --> 00:06:19,650 general. We presented individually to council. So we have two 84 00:06:19,650 --> 00:06:23,090 staff reports tonight. I'd like to call on miss Smith 85 00:06:23,090 --> 00:06:28,589 to present. Her report, please. Good evening, council. My report 86 00:06:28,589 --> 00:06:32,389 tonight is regarding the process on updating the council code 87 00:06:32,389 --> 00:06:40,761 of conduct. Policy. This last July, staff brought forward a 88 00:06:40,761 --> 00:06:49,797 revised policy. Council had some considerations. The proposed policy was 89 00:06:49,797 --> 00:06:53,597 discussed and council gave direction to further investigate whether the 90 00:06:53,597 --> 00:06:58,448 use of private life within the policy was necessary. Staff 91 00:06:58,448 --> 00:07:01,088 reached out to the integrity commissioner and asked for his 92 00:07:01,088 --> 00:07:05,384 opinion on this. I'm going to read an excerpt from 93 00:07:05,384 --> 00:07:10,230 his comments. In my view, the current language of five 94 00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:12,790 one three and five one four a strike. The correct 95 00:07:12,790 --> 00:07:17,190 balance. I do not recommend changing either section. I believe 96 00:07:17,190 --> 00:07:19,750 that generally a code of conduct should only apply to 97 00:07:19,750 --> 00:07:23,510 a person's city functions and should not apply to the 98 00:07:23,510 --> 00:07:26,630 person's private life. The only exception should be when something. 99 00:07:27,823 --> 00:07:30,943 In a person's private life directly interferes with the ability 100 00:07:30,943 --> 00:07:34,082 to perform duties to the city. In my view, the 101 00:07:34,082 --> 00:07:37,962 above statement reflects the appropriate balance. The code should not 102 00:07:37,962 --> 00:07:41,842 apply to someone's. Personal life. Unless the personal life harms 103 00:07:41,842 --> 00:07:45,802 the city's interests. Harm? Meaning a harm. To the person's 104 00:07:45,802 --> 00:07:50,466 ability to perform duties as a city official. So, taking 105 00:07:50,466 --> 00:07:54,629 into consideration. His response and his opinion on this staff 106 00:07:54,629 --> 00:07:58,976 have not made further changes to the policy and. We're 107 00:07:58,976 --> 00:08:03,354 requesting council's direction on this matter. Our recommendation is that 108 00:08:03,354 --> 00:08:09,114 council direct staff to keep the policy as is and 109 00:08:09,114 --> 00:08:14,380 bring forward a bylaw. Okay. Thank you for coming back. 110 00:08:16,866 --> 00:08:19,066 To council with that because we did have that question 111 00:08:19,066 --> 00:08:21,786 with integrity. Commissioners, that was great. Thanks for doing that 112 00:08:21,786 --> 00:08:28,924 work. Any questions? Comments from our counselors councilor Noel. Thank 113 00:08:28,924 --> 00:08:34,906 you. I appreciate that. Somebody had the integrity. Commissioner, look 114 00:08:34,906 --> 00:08:40,551 into this. Much like we have just previously discussed, and 115 00:08:40,551 --> 00:08:49,291 how we can potentially. Burden future councils. I still have 116 00:08:49,291 --> 00:08:52,931 a huge problem with the private life issue being put. 117 00:08:54,422 --> 00:08:57,289 In the language. I want to remind everyone here that. 118 00:08:58,902 --> 00:09:06,230 The power to. Run. City policy is in our hands. 119 00:09:06,230 --> 00:09:12,212 It's not in the integrity commissioners. Or in our management 120 00:09:12,212 --> 00:09:18,130 team. It's in councils. And I strongly oppose the language 121 00:09:18,130 --> 00:09:23,203 in there on private life open to the interpretation. Of. 122 00:09:25,424 --> 00:09:30,306 Somebody at some point in the future. Who can address 123 00:09:30,306 --> 00:09:33,826 the code of conduct issue with private life being in 124 00:09:33,826 --> 00:09:37,866 there? All of us are. Entitled to a private life. 125 00:09:37,866 --> 00:09:44,838 We are. And. There's language further. In those codes of 126 00:09:44,838 --> 00:09:49,299 conduct. That refers to. A number of things that can 127 00:09:49,299 --> 00:09:53,693 cause. A code of conduct complaint going forward. Criminal code 128 00:09:53,693 --> 00:10:00,917 charges, for instance. That private life, despite what my colleague, 129 00:10:00,917 --> 00:10:05,422 the integrity commissioner, says. Is far too broad, and I 130 00:10:05,422 --> 00:10:12,036 think. We're really. Handcuffing and putting a huge burden on 131 00:10:12,036 --> 00:10:17,098 future counsel and potential counselors who. May be brought forward 132 00:10:17,098 --> 00:10:19,818 with the code of conduct issue. I get why this 133 00:10:19,818 --> 00:10:25,364 came forward. I know. Exactly why. And that language. Is 134 00:10:25,364 --> 00:10:28,850 specifically targeting. And in my opinion, I will never support 135 00:10:28,850 --> 00:10:31,450 this. So unless that comes out of there, I do. 136 00:10:31,450 --> 00:10:35,589 Not have. I will not support this. Okay, thanks for 137 00:10:35,589 --> 00:10:43,426 that comment. So just for clarification, They did take out 138 00:10:43,426 --> 00:10:48,055 the word private in a couple of sections, but. Is 139 00:10:48,055 --> 00:10:53,681 it? What? Referring to like 5.1.4 a where? Conduct one's 140 00:10:53,681 --> 00:10:56,281 private life or council activities which render the council member 141 00:10:56,281 --> 00:11:01,168 unable to reform their duty satisfactory. Is that your. That's 142 00:11:01,168 --> 00:11:05,888 exactly the section I'm talking about. 5.1.4, sub eight. Is 143 00:11:05,888 --> 00:11:09,368 exactly what I'm talking about. I want to remind everyone 144 00:11:09,368 --> 00:11:11,608 we have a private life. We live in a small 145 00:11:11,608 --> 00:11:17,279 community here. And that is far too vague. Like I 146 00:11:17,279 --> 00:11:23,739 said, that needs to come out of there. Okay. Any 147 00:11:23,739 --> 00:11:33,319 other thoughts from counselors? Councilor Keeling. 148 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:41,030 Thank you. Through the chair. I am inclined to. Agree. 149 00:11:42,706 --> 00:11:51,612 With the integrity commissioner's assessment of this. It's saying. Like. 150 00:11:53,325 --> 00:11:57,688 A person's private life. Doesn't apply to this code of 151 00:11:57,688 --> 00:12:03,810 conduct. And it's only when someone's private life or their 152 00:12:03,810 --> 00:12:07,450 actions or words or whatever. Interfere with their ability to 153 00:12:07,450 --> 00:12:12,142 perform the duties to the city. Or harm the city's 154 00:12:12,142 --> 00:12:17,914 interests or go against the cities. Like mission and vision 155 00:12:17,914 --> 00:12:22,855 and things like that. So. I don't think that that 156 00:12:22,855 --> 00:12:29,347 is unreasonable. I believe that when. We put when people 157 00:12:29,347 --> 00:12:36,881 put their names forward. To become a city counselor. They 158 00:12:36,881 --> 00:12:42,921 take on the additional responsibility they take on that heightened 159 00:12:42,921 --> 00:12:52,038 scrutiny from the public, from colleagues. And. That is. I 160 00:12:52,038 --> 00:12:55,898 think just a part of. This job, and I think 161 00:12:55,898 --> 00:13:01,950 that. It encourages. People to yes, absolutely. Be on their 162 00:13:01,950 --> 00:13:04,750 best behavior when they're doing this job. I don't think 163 00:13:04,750 --> 00:13:11,644 that. That's necessarily unreasonable. So that's where I'm coming from. 164 00:13:13,207 --> 00:13:15,327 With all of this. This is how I understand it. 165 00:13:17,071 --> 00:13:24,590 Thanks for that opinion. The other councilors want to weigh 166 00:13:24,590 --> 00:13:30,428 in on. The policy code of conduct policy. Councilor price. 167 00:13:36,109 --> 00:13:39,149 So going back, like, this is my second term of 168 00:13:39,149 --> 00:13:43,718 counsel now, and so I'm almost. Seven years and eight 169 00:13:43,718 --> 00:13:49,299 years in going on now. This particular piece has been 170 00:13:49,299 --> 00:13:56,870 in the code of conduct for how long? Ever. Very 171 00:13:56,870 --> 00:14:04,949 long. So I remember when. My first meeting and before 172 00:14:04,949 --> 00:14:09,383 my first meeting. We got this big code of conduct 173 00:14:09,383 --> 00:14:13,428 book, and I read it. From first page to end 174 00:14:13,428 --> 00:14:17,258 page and was very overwhelmed with everything. There were certain 175 00:14:17,258 --> 00:14:22,001 pieces in there that stood out more than others. I 176 00:14:22,001 --> 00:14:27,486 guess, getting to my point. Is. As Alison has said, 177 00:14:29,746 --> 00:14:34,539 This has been. In there all along. From day one 178 00:14:34,539 --> 00:14:37,899 for me, from day one for councilor McKinnon. And any 179 00:14:37,899 --> 00:14:45,085 other counselor. In the past. So. I understood that when 180 00:14:45,085 --> 00:14:49,694 I became a counselor. That I was going to be 181 00:14:49,694 --> 00:14:54,953 put under essentially a microscope. And I had to be 182 00:14:54,953 --> 00:15:00,856 careful on my actions. Is it intrusive at times? Probably 183 00:15:00,856 --> 00:15:06,494 because. You're out. At an event, and you have to 184 00:15:06,494 --> 00:15:09,734 be very careful what you're doing and what you're saying 185 00:15:09,734 --> 00:15:12,534 that will always sit in the back of your mind. 186 00:15:12,534 --> 00:15:15,734 That being said, I did sign up for this job 187 00:15:15,734 --> 00:15:20,846 knowing that that was in there. It's one of those 188 00:15:20,846 --> 00:15:24,646 things, like, I understand what the integrity commissioner is saying, 189 00:15:24,646 --> 00:15:27,566 and I actually understand what council Newell is saying as 190 00:15:27,566 --> 00:15:34,122 well. It's a very fine line where we get into 191 00:15:34,122 --> 00:15:37,834 our personal life. And it makes it almost like we 192 00:15:37,834 --> 00:15:40,394 don't have a personal life. Because you are a city 193 00:15:40,394 --> 00:15:46,053 counselor and. Respond negatively for future counselors, especially. 194 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,857 That it's come to light. Who's going to sign up 195 00:15:52,857 --> 00:15:56,017 to be a counselor when you're constantly under a microscope. 196 00:15:57,436 --> 00:15:59,676 It's a fine line, but in my case, and how 197 00:15:59,676 --> 00:16:02,516 I feel about it is that like I said, I 198 00:16:02,516 --> 00:16:08,592 read it from page to page. On my first day 199 00:16:08,592 --> 00:16:12,232 as a counselor being elected in, and I signed up 200 00:16:12,232 --> 00:16:15,364 for that. And I will have to stick to that 201 00:16:15,364 --> 00:16:20,709 until the end of my term next year. Like I 202 00:16:20,709 --> 00:16:22,949 said, I understand both sides of the coin on this 203 00:16:22,949 --> 00:16:25,589 one, but I feel in my cases that that's what 204 00:16:25,589 --> 00:16:27,149 I signed up for, and that's what I'm going to 205 00:16:27,149 --> 00:16:34,275 have to stick with. Okay, thank you. And we'll go 206 00:16:34,275 --> 00:16:38,875 back to Councilor Noel. Thank you for your comments, councilor 207 00:16:38,875 --> 00:16:42,653 Price. How many months are we into this that I'm 208 00:16:42,653 --> 00:16:44,733 sitting in my office in a meeting? And can't be 209 00:16:44,733 --> 00:16:51,267 there. That's the whole issue here. I accept that when 210 00:16:51,267 --> 00:16:56,291 we sign up for council, that our personal life. Is. 211 00:16:57,649 --> 00:17:00,969 Deeply affected. I don't think any of us are strangers 212 00:17:00,969 --> 00:17:04,769 to being anywhere publicly and being asked something related to 213 00:17:04,769 --> 00:17:08,809 counsel or a question, and that's part of what we 214 00:17:08,809 --> 00:17:13,034 take. When we're seen in public. Certainly we're under scrutiny. 215 00:17:14,761 --> 00:17:21,487 But. This. Specifically has cost me tens of thousands of 216 00:17:21,487 --> 00:17:27,047 dollars. There's been two investigations and. It's far too open. 217 00:17:27,191 --> 00:17:33,279 To. Either the CAO or the integrity commissioner to implement 218 00:17:33,279 --> 00:17:37,277 this the way it's written. I do not support private 219 00:17:37,277 --> 00:17:39,717 life being in there. Private life is private life. And 220 00:17:39,717 --> 00:17:43,992 if we do something. That rises to the level of 221 00:17:43,992 --> 00:17:48,354 questioning our integrity at all. There's criminal cold conduct to 222 00:17:48,354 --> 00:17:51,133 go in there. There's all kinds of other things. That 223 00:17:51,133 --> 00:17:54,253 particular section needs to have our private lives taken out 224 00:17:54,253 --> 00:17:57,013 of it, and I will not change. My position on 225 00:17:57,013 --> 00:18:05,384 that. Thank you, Mr. Nesmit. To your worship. To correct 226 00:18:05,384 --> 00:18:09,304 Councilor Noel. The CAO does not implement council code of 227 00:18:09,304 --> 00:18:17,427 conduct. That's up. To the integrity commissioner solely. So. That 228 00:18:17,427 --> 00:18:23,779 comment is incorrect. From Councilor Noel. Thank you. Well. We're 229 00:18:23,779 --> 00:18:28,495 at this point. Mr. Nazbit, largely because of, well, you 230 00:18:28,495 --> 00:18:30,135 know what? I don't want to get into my personal 231 00:18:30,135 --> 00:18:34,724 circumstances here too terribly much. But that section needs to 232 00:18:34,724 --> 00:18:40,516 be stricken from there. Okay. Any other further comments? 233 00:18:44,742 --> 00:18:52,419 Yeah. Once you get on council. It's important that we 234 00:18:52,419 --> 00:18:54,819 do respect the code of conduct that's put before us. 235 00:18:57,593 --> 00:19:04,152 I think this clause. Conduct one's private life or council 236 00:19:04,152 --> 00:19:07,872 activities which render the council member unable to perform their 237 00:19:07,872 --> 00:19:14,506 duty satisfactory. I do support that clause. Just because. If 238 00:19:14,506 --> 00:19:17,346 you elected as a counselor, you're elected to perform your 239 00:19:17,346 --> 00:19:22,752 duties and to be that's. What you're there for. So 240 00:19:22,752 --> 00:19:26,373 if your private life. Does render you unable to perform 241 00:19:26,373 --> 00:19:31,779 them satisfactory, then. I'd say not. If you aren't able 242 00:19:31,779 --> 00:19:38,344 to form your duties, then. What impact you're going to 243 00:19:38,344 --> 00:19:40,824 have on those who voted for you and their communities. 244 00:19:40,824 --> 00:19:46,293 So. I think it's a high bar. It will be 245 00:19:46,293 --> 00:19:50,551 up to the integrity commission. Now, if somebody does bring 246 00:19:50,551 --> 00:19:54,466 forward a claim, But that's really the only impact of 247 00:19:54,466 --> 00:19:58,345 private life other than. Yeah. No, I think that's it 248 00:19:58,345 --> 00:20:05,745 on the whole thing. So, councilor McKinnon, let's see. Sans. 249 00:20:07,461 --> 00:20:13,948 So. When I signed on to be a counselor all 250 00:20:13,948 --> 00:20:17,088 those years ago. I would have been one of the 251 00:20:17,088 --> 00:20:19,568 first people resistant to a code of conduct, and I 252 00:20:19,568 --> 00:20:25,919 probably was all through that process because. I firmly believe 253 00:20:25,919 --> 00:20:28,319 that I'm entitled to say what I want, when I 254 00:20:28,319 --> 00:20:33,796 want, and where. I want. But it didn't take me 255 00:20:33,796 --> 00:20:37,734 long to realize that. I was an all public official. 256 00:20:39,346 --> 00:20:46,059 Not a private person. And. I had to conform. To. 257 00:20:49,667 --> 00:20:55,152 What was best for my community. And so as we 258 00:20:55,152 --> 00:20:58,432 progress through those years, and there's been numerous times, code 259 00:20:58,432 --> 00:21:01,959 of conduct has come up. I've been written up and 260 00:21:01,959 --> 00:21:08,476 reported to the integrity commissioner several times. And. Some of 261 00:21:08,476 --> 00:21:15,634 it. Affects. Your private life. But. In the end, when 262 00:21:15,634 --> 00:21:18,514 you become a counselor, in my book, you become a 263 00:21:18,514 --> 00:21:23,801 counselor 24/7. And. It's the good and the bad and. 264 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,040 You struggle in times when you're placed in limelight and 265 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:37,162 somebody. Wants you gone. Then. Court of contact will defend 266 00:21:37,162 --> 00:21:42,148 you and protect you, or it will point to. The 267 00:21:42,148 --> 00:21:46,809 ways you have to correct yourself. I personally don't have 268 00:21:46,809 --> 00:21:53,235 a problem. With. Private life being in there because. I'm 269 00:21:53,235 --> 00:21:55,715 a constant twenty four seven. I don't have a private 270 00:21:55,715 --> 00:22:04,033 life. My two cent guys. Okay. Thanks for everyone's thoughts. 271 00:22:06,331 --> 00:22:09,611 Since then, we have a majority to bring it forward 272 00:22:09,611 --> 00:22:11,571 for a vote. Still go to a vote. And that'll 273 00:22:11,571 --> 00:22:16,389 be aimed to bring a bylaw. October 14 meeting for 274 00:22:16,389 --> 00:22:23,897 a vote. Okay. Thank you, council. Thank you, smith. So 275 00:22:23,897 --> 00:22:26,137 I now like to call on Mr. Boyd or present 276 00:22:26,137 --> 00:22:34,822 his report, please. Thank you, mayor. So, just to review. 277 00:22:39,996 --> 00:22:47,873 I'm bringing forward. Contract. User agreement. For our junior eight 278 00:22:47,873 --> 00:22:52,273 ice dogs, so I believe the last one concluded in 279 00:22:52,273 --> 00:22:56,453 the summer of 2020. So likely with the circumstances of 280 00:22:56,453 --> 00:23:00,007 the time. We just never got back into one, and 281 00:23:00,007 --> 00:23:06,251 we've been operating. In a somewhat obviously without one, but. 282 00:23:07,953 --> 00:23:08,913 More of this is how we've done it in the 283 00:23:08,913 --> 00:23:12,437 past. But we want to make sure that. We have 284 00:23:12,437 --> 00:23:18,041 some clear guidelines. On. What the user group gets and 285 00:23:18,041 --> 00:23:20,721 what we're giving. So we wanted to make sure that 286 00:23:20,721 --> 00:23:22,841 we got back into a user agreement because it's a 287 00:23:22,841 --> 00:23:26,715 little bit different than our normal. Ice users. Our normal 288 00:23:26,715 --> 00:23:31,595 ice users essentially come in, rent the ice, and then 289 00:23:31,595 --> 00:23:34,395 leave. Right? And they're paying hourly. The ice dogs are 290 00:23:34,395 --> 00:23:37,591 a little bit different. They get. Access to the building 291 00:23:37,591 --> 00:23:39,391 to put their stock back in when they get back 292 00:23:39,391 --> 00:23:44,397 from road games. They have. Obviously not just the storage 293 00:23:44,397 --> 00:23:50,386 space. But dressing room. And they're provided with some other. 294 00:23:52,305 --> 00:23:55,425 Amenities that some of our other user groups don't cat. 295 00:23:55,425 --> 00:23:57,345 So we just wanted to capture. All that into the 296 00:23:57,345 --> 00:24:04,206 user agreement. I think. I put. Kind of pulled out 297 00:24:04,206 --> 00:24:06,286 all the key parts that council might be interested in. 298 00:24:07,709 --> 00:24:11,229 Under the discussion portion of the project. So the term 299 00:24:11,229 --> 00:24:16,602 would be. From this summer. To summer of 2029 with 300 00:24:16,602 --> 00:24:20,951 the option to renew upon mutual consent. From the two 301 00:24:20,951 --> 00:24:26,079 parties. The ice rate would continue to remain the youth 302 00:24:26,079 --> 00:24:28,599 primetime user group rate, which is what they've been paying. 303 00:24:29,983 --> 00:24:33,863 And beginning in 2026, an additional $20 fee for summer 304 00:24:33,863 --> 00:24:36,703 ice. So this is something that I've actually put on 305 00:24:36,703 --> 00:24:39,623 the fees and charges bylaw to bring forward to council 306 00:24:39,623 --> 00:24:48,673 for 2026 fees and charges to help offset. The exorbitant 307 00:24:48,673 --> 00:24:50,753 cost that there is to put the ice back in 308 00:24:50,753 --> 00:24:55,825 early in August. And the ice dogs have been. We 309 00:24:55,825 --> 00:24:58,505 came up with this agreement together, so they're on. Board 310 00:24:58,505 --> 00:25:04,200 and they understand. And understand that expense, that additional expense. 311 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,302 So they were good with it. Some payment terms to 312 00:25:08,302 --> 00:25:11,222 try and keep them on track. So again, without a 313 00:25:11,222 --> 00:25:18,452 user agreement previously. There wasn't necessarily any payment terms. So 314 00:25:18,452 --> 00:25:20,412 this is hopefully going to help them stay on track. 315 00:25:22,100 --> 00:25:25,002 And stay up to date with the payments. With the 316 00:25:25,002 --> 00:25:29,242 facility access, so you get game operations. Advertising is another 317 00:25:29,242 --> 00:25:32,906 big one. That has been. It's been the past practice 318 00:25:32,906 --> 00:25:39,538 since they started there into 2000. But not always captured 319 00:25:39,538 --> 00:25:41,218 in the agreement. So we just wanted to make sure 320 00:25:41,218 --> 00:25:43,218 what was in the agreement and who has what. Board 321 00:25:43,218 --> 00:25:47,338 ads. As we're quite full up with board ads and 322 00:25:47,338 --> 00:25:49,978 even wall ads. So we want to make sure that 323 00:25:49,978 --> 00:25:52,938 we're working with each other to get those all filled 324 00:25:52,938 --> 00:25:57,634 up, but that they know what port. Portion is theirs, 325 00:25:57,634 --> 00:26:02,464 and we know what portions are. Yeah, I guess I'm 326 00:26:02,464 --> 00:26:05,784 open to any questions, if council has any, with regards 327 00:26:05,784 --> 00:26:13,424 to the. User agreement. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Boyer. Any 328 00:26:13,424 --> 00:26:18,698 questions? Councilor Noelle, I'll go to you first. Thank you, 329 00:26:18,698 --> 00:26:22,018 Mr. Boyer. The only question I had was, what's the 330 00:26:22,018 --> 00:26:26,258 rationale behind the $20 per hour more during the period 331 00:26:26,258 --> 00:26:28,818 from May to August. And I appreciate you commenting on. 332 00:26:30,902 --> 00:26:34,302 The management of the ice dogs. Being on board and 333 00:26:34,302 --> 00:26:35,862 aware of all this. That was the one. Thing I 334 00:26:35,862 --> 00:26:40,945 was going to suggest is. All the players of the 335 00:26:40,945 --> 00:26:42,865 party aren't here. But you said that they have looked 336 00:26:42,865 --> 00:26:46,025 at this. I just questioned why the $20 per hour 337 00:26:46,025 --> 00:26:52,801 more between May to August. Thanks. Thank you, council. Yeah. 338 00:26:52,801 --> 00:26:55,481 So some communities do a summer ice rate where it's 339 00:26:55,481 --> 00:26:58,981 more. We could have gone that route. I just thought 340 00:26:58,981 --> 00:27:02,403 it was a little bit easier just to say. Whatever. 341 00:27:04,538 --> 00:27:07,338 Their normal rate is going up. Plus. An additional $20. 342 00:27:07,338 --> 00:27:13,863 So obviously. Summer ice. The facility wasn't built for housing 343 00:27:13,863 --> 00:27:17,418 ice in August. So not quite the most efficient building. 344 00:27:19,256 --> 00:27:24,550 Our energy cost in the summertime. Are significant. I think 345 00:27:24,550 --> 00:27:30,983 we're somewhere around $5,000 a week. In hydro. So this 346 00:27:30,983 --> 00:27:33,143 is just to help offset some of the cost, because. 347 00:27:34,759 --> 00:27:40,116 In comparison. Our December, January, February cost for Hydro was 348 00:27:40,116 --> 00:27:46,809 something like. 2000 202,500. In and around that neighborhood. So 349 00:27:46,809 --> 00:27:49,833 in our normal ice season, We're significantly lower, but we're 350 00:27:49,833 --> 00:27:54,099 putting the ice back. In specifically. More so, probably for 351 00:27:54,099 --> 00:27:55,819 the ice dogs. Right. And so that they can start 352 00:27:55,819 --> 00:28:01,799 their training camp because. They have rigid timelines to host 353 00:28:01,799 --> 00:28:06,624 training camp and get their team selected. So in doing 354 00:28:06,624 --> 00:28:11,438 that, I think it's prudent upon us to put in 355 00:28:11,438 --> 00:28:15,926 something that. Helps offset. And reflect the additional cost that 356 00:28:15,926 --> 00:28:22,193 it puts on our operations. Okay. Thank you. Go to 357 00:28:22,193 --> 00:28:27,018 Councilor Kevin. Thank you for the chair. I just had 358 00:28:27,018 --> 00:28:34,325 a question about the term. I don't know if. There 359 00:28:34,325 --> 00:28:42,938 have been historical, I guess. User agreements. But. I was 360 00:28:42,938 --> 00:28:46,845 just curious as why. It's like four years. Or is 361 00:28:46,845 --> 00:28:51,400 there going to be something where. It's kind of reviewed 362 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,554 every year. I do see that there's an option to 363 00:28:55,554 --> 00:29:00,573 renew upon mutual consent. So I just want to make 364 00:29:00,573 --> 00:29:04,133 sure that if there was something just missing from there, 365 00:29:04,133 --> 00:29:06,773 I was. Like, oh, four years seems like a long 366 00:29:06,773 --> 00:29:12,468 time. Or is that fairly standard across. User agreements. That 367 00:29:12,468 --> 00:29:18,022 are specific to. I guess. Kind of exceptional cases. Thanks, 368 00:29:18,022 --> 00:29:23,904 councilor. Through you, mayor. Yeah, great question. Really? It was 369 00:29:23,904 --> 00:29:26,664 four years. Just so that it's in front of council 370 00:29:26,664 --> 00:29:31,345 every term. At least once. Right? So council has some 371 00:29:31,345 --> 00:29:35,027 input on it for sure. But other than that, we 372 00:29:35,027 --> 00:29:39,197 know that they're a longtime user group. They've been in 373 00:29:39,197 --> 00:29:41,637 a contract with us from 2000 all the way to 374 00:29:41,637 --> 00:29:46,743 2020 again somewhere. Just fell out. With uncertainty, the times, 375 00:29:46,743 --> 00:29:48,863 I'm sure. And it just never got back on. So 376 00:29:48,863 --> 00:29:52,237 now we're doing that. But, yeah, we want to get 377 00:29:52,237 --> 00:29:54,717 it out there. But there's also not a lot usually. 378 00:29:56,635 --> 00:30:00,740 With. This isn't a private team. It's a public team 379 00:30:00,740 --> 00:30:05,042 and nonprofit team. So. There's usually not a lot of 380 00:30:05,042 --> 00:30:08,482 controversy around them or we don't think that they're leaving 381 00:30:08,482 --> 00:30:11,042 or that they're not paying enough for any of those 382 00:30:11,042 --> 00:30:15,282 typical problems. That might be with junior clubs, where in 383 00:30:15,282 --> 00:30:19,125 some other communities might do shorter terms. I think for 384 00:30:19,125 --> 00:30:21,125 council to see it once in a term is suffice, 385 00:30:21,125 --> 00:30:26,679 but. It's completely up to council for sure. You're welcome. 386 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,640 Mr. Nesman. Yeah. Thank you. Through your worship. Just to 387 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,280 add to that fees and charges user fees and charges 388 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,280 are reviewed annually. Councilor keevening, as part of the budget 389 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:43,067 process and. With this particular. User group or user following 390 00:30:43,067 --> 00:30:47,067 that, then the fees and charges aspect is addressed. But 391 00:30:47,067 --> 00:30:51,243 as Mr. Boyer stated. It adds a little bit of 392 00:30:51,243 --> 00:30:57,064 certainty. For that organization and the fact that. They do 393 00:30:57,064 --> 00:31:01,500 rely on. Having various spaces throughout the complex available to 394 00:31:01,500 --> 00:31:06,292 them. I think four years is appropriate. Thanks. Cool. Thank 395 00:31:06,292 --> 00:31:11,093 you. We'll go online to councilor Tardif. Thank you. Through 396 00:31:11,093 --> 00:31:18,568 the chair? Yeah. I was one of the members of 397 00:31:18,568 --> 00:31:21,688 the executive with the founding of this team and I 398 00:31:21,688 --> 00:31:27,056 can say that. To have a relationship like this. And 399 00:31:27,056 --> 00:31:29,536 now especially, seeing it from the other side and knowing 400 00:31:29,536 --> 00:31:33,464 how much the taxpayers of this community subsidize. Recreation to 401 00:31:33,464 --> 00:31:35,984 have a relationship where you guys have been able to 402 00:31:35,984 --> 00:31:39,344 agree to terms like this and for them to recognize 403 00:31:39,344 --> 00:31:45,428 the costs and. Not argue the fact that there are 404 00:31:45,428 --> 00:31:49,268 additional costs, and to bring one like that to us 405 00:31:49,268 --> 00:31:54,932 is great. And I'm fully in favor of this. Okay. 406 00:31:54,932 --> 00:32:00,090 Thank you. So our aim is to bring bylaw to 407 00:32:00,090 --> 00:32:09,267 October 14 meeting. All in favor of that? Okay. So 408 00:32:09,267 --> 00:32:13,301 you have direction there. Thank you. So we have no 409 00:32:13,301 --> 00:32:16,421 north motion seeing. We have one motion signature. I'll ask 410 00:32:16,421 --> 00:32:21,282 the clerk. To review, please. Thank you. At the last 411 00:32:21,282 --> 00:32:24,562 meeting, Mayor Harrison submitted a notice of motion to request 412 00:32:24,562 --> 00:32:28,522 the province of Ontario incorporate water safety training into the 413 00:32:28,522 --> 00:32:32,842 elementary school curriculum. And tonight, this issue is on the 414 00:32:32,842 --> 00:32:36,402 agenda. As a motion. And I guess we'll start off 415 00:32:36,402 --> 00:32:42,264 with. The mayor to speak to it. Okay, so just 416 00:32:42,264 --> 00:32:48,706 a little background for this motion. We all remember the 417 00:32:48,706 --> 00:32:57,014 tragedy on July 31 of Aidan and Jocelyn. Drowning on 418 00:32:57,014 --> 00:33:02,233 July 1 in our Wavagun River. I was contacted by 419 00:33:02,233 --> 00:33:08,538 their grandparents, Michael Williams and Evelyn Page. Shortly after that. 420 00:33:09,943 --> 00:33:14,038 And we had a conversation. And they're really dedicating the 421 00:33:14,038 --> 00:33:17,118 rest of their lives to try to increase awareness. For 422 00:33:17,118 --> 00:33:21,598 the need of water safety across Ontario, and I was 423 00:33:21,598 --> 00:33:26,069 able to meet with them personally. In Ottawa when we 424 00:33:26,069 --> 00:33:30,283 was at Emo on August 19. And just offered my 425 00:33:30,283 --> 00:33:35,303 support on how we could move forward. With getting. Water 426 00:33:35,303 --> 00:33:40,192 safety training as part of the curriculum. In Ontario. Very 427 00:33:40,192 --> 00:33:42,792 good conversation. I was also able to go in front 428 00:33:42,792 --> 00:33:47,497 of the Minister of Education. At the forum. At the 429 00:33:47,497 --> 00:33:50,497 AMO and able to ask that question about would the 430 00:33:50,497 --> 00:33:55,022 Minister of Education support. Putting water safety training into the 431 00:33:55,022 --> 00:33:59,487 curriculum. Or would. Consider was the word, actually, and he 432 00:33:59,487 --> 00:34:03,287 was agreeable to look into that. And so, as part 433 00:34:03,287 --> 00:34:07,461 of my support for the family. Mr. Williams formally to 434 00:34:07,461 --> 00:34:12,441 this resolution. To bring awareness and Dryden being the first 435 00:34:12,441 --> 00:34:16,161 one to bring this forward. Our intent is to send 436 00:34:16,161 --> 00:34:20,674 this resolution to the Ministry of Education. To be of 437 00:34:20,674 --> 00:34:25,194 provincial mpps as well as all emission poles across Ontario, 438 00:34:25,194 --> 00:34:28,954 and our association for municipal Ontario to really start the 439 00:34:28,954 --> 00:34:36,233 ball rolling. Trying to incorporate. Water safety training and curriculum. 440 00:34:38,075 --> 00:34:39,755 You think of all the things that we learn in 441 00:34:39,755 --> 00:34:44,537 school, especially in the phys department. Swimming is a life 442 00:34:44,537 --> 00:34:48,217 skill. And you think about ONTArIO, we're so blessed with 443 00:34:48,217 --> 00:34:52,594 so many beautiful lakes and rivers and streams. And the 444 00:34:52,594 --> 00:34:55,954 fact that it's not mandatory. You can go through elementary 445 00:34:55,954 --> 00:34:58,954 school and not learn. How to swim. I understand that 446 00:34:58,954 --> 00:35:03,072 there is opportunity. There is a cost associated with that. 447 00:35:04,632 --> 00:35:09,083 But. I agree with Mr. Williams that. It should be 448 00:35:09,083 --> 00:35:18,856 a mandatory. Taught in our system. The motion speaks. To. 449 00:35:20,162 --> 00:35:24,185 The swim to survive training. And this is put on 450 00:35:24,185 --> 00:35:28,054 by the life saving society. It's a very unique course. 451 00:35:29,461 --> 00:35:32,501 I was able to learn more about, actually, through our 452 00:35:32,501 --> 00:35:37,375 chief, Chief Wood. He was in contact with. Another community. 453 00:35:38,341 --> 00:35:40,661 Or they contacted him because they had a similar drowning 454 00:35:40,661 --> 00:35:46,582 in their community. And they implemented swim. To survive training. 455 00:35:46,582 --> 00:35:50,062 And this is what Mr. Williams is advocating as well. 456 00:35:50,062 --> 00:35:53,022 And I'd like to just show a little video that 457 00:35:53,022 --> 00:35:57,102 was sent to Cheapwood and so you can understand, really. 458 00:35:57,102 --> 00:36:00,142 The simplicity of this program and how easy it is 459 00:36:00,142 --> 00:36:00,742 to implement. 460 00:39:08,135 --> 00:39:15,682 All right. Thanks for showing Ms. Smith. This is a 461 00:39:15,682 --> 00:39:19,227 program. I'd like our council, or this resolution, like our 462 00:39:19,227 --> 00:39:24,669 council, to support. To try to bring awareness and move 463 00:39:24,669 --> 00:39:30,745 the need along. Having our school system. Through the power 464 00:39:30,745 --> 00:39:36,465 of our minister of education to enact this. The fact 465 00:39:36,465 --> 00:39:39,945 that drowning is the second leading cause of preventable death 466 00:39:39,945 --> 00:39:46,401 in children under ten. In Canada. And most drownings occur 467 00:39:46,401 --> 00:39:51,829 occur near shore pools and unintended. Where adults could even. 468 00:39:52,846 --> 00:39:55,406 Could be closed. So it's important that children are able 469 00:39:55,406 --> 00:39:59,126 to have the necessary skills to reach to the shore 470 00:39:59,126 --> 00:40:02,777 themselves. And this program is quite simple. There's really only 471 00:40:02,777 --> 00:40:06,977 three in water sessions. The cost is $15 to $25 472 00:40:06,977 --> 00:40:11,742 per. Student. Like I mentioned, we roll into deep water, 473 00:40:11,742 --> 00:40:14,222 enacting the fact that you fall off a dock or 474 00:40:14,222 --> 00:40:16,862 something into the water. Learn how to dread for 1 475 00:40:16,862 --> 00:40:21,145 minute and also swim 50 meters. We're not going to 476 00:40:21,145 --> 00:40:23,905 create Olympic athletes, but we're going to have people able 477 00:40:23,905 --> 00:40:27,439 to survive falling into the water. So on behalf of 478 00:40:27,439 --> 00:40:31,039 Mr. Williams, on bringing this forward, I'm looking for council 479 00:40:31,039 --> 00:40:37,772 support. Any questions? Or comments. 480 00:40:44,693 --> 00:40:48,849 Hey, thank you very much. In that case, it sounds 481 00:40:48,849 --> 00:40:52,807 like there is support for this, so. We would look 482 00:40:52,807 --> 00:40:55,167 for a mover in a second. Or please council with 483 00:40:55,167 --> 00:40:59,967 price and council of. Keeding. Moved by councilor price and 484 00:40:59,967 --> 00:41:05,992 seconded by Councilor Keeven. Whereas. Drowning is one of the 485 00:41:05,992 --> 00:41:09,152 leading causes of preventable death among children in Ontario, and 486 00:41:09,152 --> 00:41:12,152 research by the Life Saving Society of Ontario shows that 487 00:41:12,152 --> 00:41:14,912 most children who found never intended to be in the 488 00:41:14,912 --> 00:41:18,992 water. And whereas evidence demonstrates that even basic swimming and 489 00:41:18,992 --> 00:41:23,672 water survival skills significantly reduce the risk of drowning. And 490 00:41:23,672 --> 00:41:27,800 whereas many children in Onta. Ontario do not have equitable 491 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,480 access to swimming lessons outside of school due to financial, 492 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:37,640 cultural or geographic barriers and where several municipalities across Ontario 493 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:41,400 have expressed strong interest in improving water safety education for 494 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,760 children, and whereas the ministry of education has the authority 495 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,879 to incorporate. Water safety and survival training into the regular 496 00:41:48,879 --> 00:41:54,199 elementary school curricular curriculum as well as universal life saving 497 00:41:54,199 --> 00:41:59,897 skills comparable to fire safety and road safety instruction. Therefore, 498 00:41:59,897 --> 00:42:01,737 be it resolved that the council of the City of 499 00:42:01,737 --> 00:42:05,577 Dryden respectfully urges the Government of Ontario through the Ministry 500 00:42:05,577 --> 00:42:09,817 of Education to incorporate mandatory water safety and swim to 501 00:42:09,817 --> 00:42:14,497 survive training into the elementary school curriculum. Parole Ontario students. 502 00:42:15,907 --> 00:42:17,547 And be it further resolved that a copy of this 503 00:42:17,547 --> 00:42:21,627 resolution be forwarded to the honorable minister. Of education of 504 00:42:21,627 --> 00:42:27,587 Ontario, local members of provincial Parliament, the Association of municipalities 505 00:42:27,587 --> 00:42:31,627 of Ontario and all Ontario. Municipalities with a request for 506 00:42:31,627 --> 00:42:37,264 their endorsement. Thank you. All in favor? Gary, thank you 507 00:42:37,264 --> 00:42:42,304 very much. We are now at our Miss Buffer's reports, 508 00:42:42,304 --> 00:42:44,784 and I'll call on our CEO. Mr. Mesbit for his 509 00:42:44,784 --> 00:42:51,157 report, please. Thank you to your worship. First off, I'd 510 00:42:51,157 --> 00:42:58,899 like to congratulate. Our operations manager, Todd Olsen. Todd has 511 00:42:58,899 --> 00:43:04,827 recently been named. Our new potentially or in the near 512 00:43:04,827 --> 00:43:09,863 term future, new public works director. Our current public works 513 00:43:09,863 --> 00:43:15,077 director has expressed that he'll be retiring. In the new 514 00:43:15,077 --> 00:43:22,386 year. So after a competitive recruitment process, Mr. Olsen. Was 515 00:43:22,386 --> 00:43:26,360 a successful candidate. I know Mr. Olsen will do very 516 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:33,074 well in the position. And. As much as we don't 517 00:43:33,074 --> 00:43:36,554 look forward to losing our current public works director, I 518 00:43:36,554 --> 00:43:39,954 do. Look forward to Mr. Olsen moving into that position. 519 00:43:39,954 --> 00:43:44,058 It's always great to have strong internal. Candidates. And for 520 00:43:44,058 --> 00:43:48,338 this particular recruitment, we had several very strong internal candidates. 521 00:43:48,338 --> 00:43:53,357 So that's always a positive for the organization. I just. 522 00:43:55,074 --> 00:43:58,834 Want to update council on our air passenger feasibility study. 523 00:44:00,245 --> 00:44:05,117 We're about halfway through that study. And we just completed 524 00:44:05,117 --> 00:44:10,155 our stakeholder engagement sessions. Here last week, so we look 525 00:44:10,155 --> 00:44:12,555 forward to completing the study by the end of the 526 00:44:12,555 --> 00:44:16,715 year and just as a reminder to anybody watching or 527 00:44:16,715 --> 00:44:21,355 to council the outcome of the air passenger feasibility study. 528 00:44:22,744 --> 00:44:24,664 We hope to create a bit of a business case 529 00:44:24,664 --> 00:44:28,660 for potential carriers. And on the completion of the study, 530 00:44:28,660 --> 00:44:34,549 we will be approaching. Carriers. To develop interest in providing 531 00:44:34,549 --> 00:44:39,979 that service. Not just in Dryden, but throughout the region. 532 00:44:39,979 --> 00:44:44,699 Canor and Fort Francis are also participating in the study, 533 00:44:44,699 --> 00:44:49,029 so hopefully. We're successful in reestablishing that service in all 534 00:44:49,029 --> 00:44:52,890 three communities. And then I just wanted to give a 535 00:44:52,890 --> 00:44:56,690 shout out to the planning committee of the fundraiser meet. 536 00:44:56,690 --> 00:45:01,109 Me at the egg center. One of those planning committee 537 00:45:01,109 --> 00:45:07,426 members. Put an immense amount of pressure on myself to 538 00:45:07,426 --> 00:45:10,626 ride a mechanical bull or be part of the group 539 00:45:10,626 --> 00:45:17,126 that rode the bull. As the fundraiser. So the event 540 00:45:17,126 --> 00:45:19,686 was a huge success. My attempt at riding the bull 541 00:45:19,686 --> 00:45:23,366 was not a great success. But I did depart without 542 00:45:23,366 --> 00:45:27,270 injury, so I think that was a win. On my 543 00:45:27,270 --> 00:45:31,110 part for sure. But again, just a huge thank you 544 00:45:31,110 --> 00:45:37,280 to the planning committee. The fundraiser. Was attempting to raise 545 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:42,264 some money for the legion. The agricultural Society and the 546 00:45:42,264 --> 00:45:46,985 food bank. And from what I understand, the fundraiser was 547 00:45:46,985 --> 00:45:52,298 a huge success. I think they well surpassed. Their target 548 00:45:52,298 --> 00:45:56,756 goal. And it sounds like maybe it may be an 549 00:45:56,756 --> 00:46:01,069 ongoing event, because. It was such a huge hit in 550 00:46:01,069 --> 00:46:05,443 the community. And then just a reminder to everybody that 551 00:46:05,443 --> 00:46:11,679 on September 30, it's our national truth and. Reconciliation. Day. 552 00:46:13,145 --> 00:46:16,895 There will be an event. Held at Cooper park once 553 00:46:16,895 --> 00:46:21,078 again. So I encourage everybody. To get their own shirts 554 00:46:21,078 --> 00:46:24,824 on and come down and take part. In that event. 555 00:46:26,347 --> 00:46:31,102 It is growing in numbers year after year. And that's 556 00:46:31,102 --> 00:46:35,239 a very positive thing to see in the community. And 557 00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:40,159 then one final. Shout out is to councilor price. If 558 00:46:40,159 --> 00:46:43,039 anybody's been by the corner of Earl and King street, 559 00:46:43,039 --> 00:46:48,449 they'll notice some. Huge improvements. To the building. Councilor price. 560 00:46:49,886 --> 00:46:55,015 Is embarking on another business venture. And between. Her work. 561 00:46:56,517 --> 00:47:01,469 And the property owner's work. The building looks fantastic. It 562 00:47:01,469 --> 00:47:06,469 really stands out and. It's a very positive thing. For 563 00:47:06,469 --> 00:47:08,910 the downtown. And I can't wait to go and get 564 00:47:08,910 --> 00:47:14,410 a cup of coffee there soon. Thanks. All right? Yes. 565 00:47:14,410 --> 00:47:19,190 And congratulations on surviving the bull ride. And well done. 566 00:47:20,959 --> 00:47:24,239 All right, we'll go to our interim treasurer. Ms. Junko, 567 00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:28,319 you're online. Go. Ahead. Hi. Thank you, your worship. I 568 00:47:28,319 --> 00:47:31,839 have nothing at this time. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. 569 00:47:34,262 --> 00:47:37,742 Turn to our city clerk, Ms. Eiler. Yes, thank you. 570 00:47:37,742 --> 00:47:41,462 Just in our departments presently there. Is a lot of 571 00:47:41,462 --> 00:47:48,030 work underway on the 2026 operating budgets, which. Are. Due 572 00:47:48,030 --> 00:47:52,427 in the next few weeks. As well. We are undertaking 573 00:47:52,427 --> 00:47:56,027 a makeover of the city's website, aiming for a cleaner 574 00:47:56,027 --> 00:48:01,794 design. Improved features and better accessibility on all devices, and 575 00:48:01,794 --> 00:48:05,274 we're just asking the public to watch. For the launch, 576 00:48:05,274 --> 00:48:09,562 which is to ochre on October the first. Thank you. 577 00:48:09,562 --> 00:48:14,755 I'll call on director of public's works, Mr. Pool. Thank 578 00:48:14,755 --> 00:48:18,352 you, you, worship. As you know or may not know, 579 00:48:18,352 --> 00:48:22,192 this past weekend was household hazardous waste day. Once again, 580 00:48:22,192 --> 00:48:25,512 it was very successful. We had over 400 vehicles there. 581 00:48:25,512 --> 00:48:28,741 I'm not sure. If any people in the room went. 582 00:48:30,420 --> 00:48:34,395 But. It's a very good program for us as well 583 00:48:34,395 --> 00:48:37,995 as the Rotary Club and their volunteers. Are very helpful. 584 00:48:39,173 --> 00:48:43,066 With the event. Everyone seems to have a good time, 585 00:48:43,066 --> 00:48:46,844 but keeping it business, but. There is a lot of 586 00:48:46,844 --> 00:48:51,760 camaraderie and good conversation going on as well. So just 587 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,480 like to thank Rotary Club and their volunteers for assisting 588 00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:58,297 and the staff who were there. As well. Compost pickup 589 00:48:58,297 --> 00:49:01,137 day. This is just a reminder to citizens. It's Monday, 590 00:49:01,137 --> 00:49:08,552 October 20, and then again, on Monday, October 27. Just 591 00:49:08,552 --> 00:49:10,872 also let you know, our landfill just got a brand 592 00:49:10,872 --> 00:49:15,818 new. Bombay compactor here last week. We've had a number 593 00:49:15,818 --> 00:49:19,924 of people trained on it recently. Here. Just a comment 594 00:49:19,924 --> 00:49:22,324 that was made to me today. Here is this household 595 00:49:22,324 --> 00:49:26,124 hazardous waste stage just a reminder, people. It is beneficial 596 00:49:26,124 --> 00:49:30,383 because somebody threw a paint can. Into the garbage and 597 00:49:30,383 --> 00:49:33,743 our compactor ran over it. Brand new compactor. Got white 598 00:49:33,743 --> 00:49:37,103 paint all. Down the side of the machine. They were 599 00:49:37,103 --> 00:49:39,143 able to get it off by steaming it off, but. 600 00:49:39,143 --> 00:49:41,663 It's just a reminder. It's not good for the environment. 601 00:49:41,663 --> 00:49:45,644 It's just. Not good for the landfill. Other things. So 602 00:49:45,644 --> 00:49:47,964 I just wanted to tie the two together so people 603 00:49:47,964 --> 00:49:52,286 know. Also, we're just finishing up construction work for the 604 00:49:52,286 --> 00:49:55,446 summer. We're replacing a portion of Keith and Elm Avenue. 605 00:49:56,981 --> 00:49:59,623 Currently I started. And a small section of Sandy Beach 606 00:49:59,623 --> 00:50:03,387 Road. Will probably occur next week. So that's all I 607 00:50:03,387 --> 00:50:06,747 have for this evening. Thanks. Great. Thank you. I'll call. 608 00:50:06,747 --> 00:50:10,442 On our director of community services, Mr. Boyer. Just one 609 00:50:10,442 --> 00:50:13,722 thing, mayor. Just letting council know that we are closing 610 00:50:13,722 --> 00:50:17,122 the golf course for the season. As of Sunday, October 611 00:50:17,122 --> 00:50:24,191 5, So, yeah. For all comparisons. We've had a fantastic 612 00:50:24,191 --> 00:50:29,499 year there. Great weather, great turnout. We're currently, to date, 613 00:50:29,499 --> 00:50:37,364 we're 14,000. 812 rounds to date. So last year we 614 00:50:37,364 --> 00:50:41,324 were 11,500. So we're about 3000 more than 3000 up. 615 00:50:41,324 --> 00:50:43,964 Anyways and still got two weeks left to go here, 616 00:50:43,964 --> 00:50:50,897 so fantastic numbers. Membership went up from. 163 last year 617 00:50:50,897 --> 00:50:56,282 to 205 this year. So, things going really well? I 618 00:50:56,282 --> 00:51:00,463 know. I've heard some comments about us closing earlier. So. 619 00:51:01,688 --> 00:51:03,208 Just to let council know there's a couple of reasons 620 00:51:03,208 --> 00:51:07,533 why. Obviously, there's some critical infrastructure work that we need 621 00:51:07,533 --> 00:51:10,875 to start addressing there. With removing and getting some of 622 00:51:10,875 --> 00:51:14,749 those brush piles that have been pushed into. The tree 623 00:51:14,749 --> 00:51:17,429 areas there that need to be addressed. We need to 624 00:51:17,429 --> 00:51:20,549 do some ditching so that in future when we have 625 00:51:20,549 --> 00:51:23,789 water, large rain events, that water is getting off the 626 00:51:23,789 --> 00:51:25,389 course and we don't have to keep it close as 627 00:51:25,389 --> 00:51:28,829 long. Right, but having contractors out there, having our public 628 00:51:28,829 --> 00:51:31,989 work staffer and even our staff out there to get. 629 00:51:34,353 --> 00:51:38,546 Some of this work done. Amputeology and golf balls. And 630 00:51:38,546 --> 00:51:41,546 those machines aren't as protected as some of our grass 631 00:51:41,546 --> 00:51:44,706 cutting machines out there. Not only that, it's the time 632 00:51:44,706 --> 00:51:51,175 of year that. Really all we're seeing from October 1 633 00:51:51,175 --> 00:51:54,959 to 12th last year when we were open. We were 634 00:51:54,959 --> 00:51:59,625 actually losing money. We basically are just seeing members come 635 00:51:59,625 --> 00:52:01,665 in at that time, and it's pretty much members. That. 636 00:52:03,631 --> 00:52:08,637 Will use their membership already. But people can't come after 637 00:52:08,637 --> 00:52:12,748 work because by this time, Obviously. It's getting dark. Today 638 00:52:12,748 --> 00:52:18,783 was around 705. Sunset. Near the first week of October. 639 00:52:18,783 --> 00:52:22,223 We're looking closer to a 630 sunset. Back that up. 640 00:52:22,223 --> 00:52:25,583 By 2 hours to get your round in. People can't 641 00:52:25,583 --> 00:52:29,263 be starting at 430. So anyways. It was somewhat of 642 00:52:29,263 --> 00:52:33,343 a calculated move here. Everyone in May is chomping at 643 00:52:33,343 --> 00:52:34,703 the bit to get out there, and we don't want 644 00:52:34,703 --> 00:52:36,503 to delay them to get out there. By doing this 645 00:52:36,503 --> 00:52:38,296 work, so I think this is the better time. Of 646 00:52:38,296 --> 00:52:39,496 year to be able to get some of that work 647 00:52:39,496 --> 00:52:46,477 done without it costing us money or as much. Yeah, 648 00:52:46,477 --> 00:52:49,940 I think that's everything. Thanks. Okay. Thank you very much. 649 00:52:51,339 --> 00:52:54,855 We're down to announcements. Just want a couple of things 650 00:52:54,855 --> 00:53:00,115 I wanted to. Just. Shout out to. The city staff 651 00:53:00,115 --> 00:53:04,786 for organizing emergency exercise we had last Friday, where. We 652 00:53:04,786 --> 00:53:10,885 simulated. A downed aircraft at the airport. And Allerg went 653 00:53:10,885 --> 00:53:15,270 out to staff. And senior leadership to go to a 654 00:53:15,270 --> 00:53:18,470 command center, as well as the ems and fire and 655 00:53:18,470 --> 00:53:21,924 police. To respond to the airport. We had high school 656 00:53:21,924 --> 00:53:28,297 students acting in that capacity. So. Just a very advantageous 657 00:53:28,297 --> 00:53:32,937 event for our community and our leadership. Just to demonstrate 658 00:53:32,937 --> 00:53:35,977 working together, the cooperation when an incident like this happens. 659 00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:42,463 And it's good learning lessons on how to improve. Our 660 00:53:42,463 --> 00:53:48,239 response. So. I guess a real mockup. So I learned 661 00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:51,199 a lot from it, and hopefully we don't. Have to 662 00:53:51,199 --> 00:53:56,499 enact it, but. We do have a very comprehensive emergency 663 00:53:56,499 --> 00:54:00,099 plan, and we've been through it at least once. And 664 00:54:00,099 --> 00:54:02,539 I know every year they do at least a tabletop 665 00:54:02,539 --> 00:54:06,579 exercise, but just kudos to all the people who responded 666 00:54:06,579 --> 00:54:11,899 and just. Well done job all around. And I think 667 00:54:11,899 --> 00:54:14,339 that's it then. So I will go around the table. 668 00:54:16,451 --> 00:54:25,723 Starting with councilor price, and I'll go online. Don't have 669 00:54:25,723 --> 00:54:28,455 really much to say. I do have a video. Of. 670 00:54:29,590 --> 00:54:31,990 CEO nesbit riding the bowl. So if anyone wants to 671 00:54:31,990 --> 00:54:36,245 see that, I will gladly share it. It was an 672 00:54:36,245 --> 00:54:39,554 amazing night, though. It was great to see. So many 673 00:54:39,554 --> 00:54:43,515 people out supporting this event. And the success of it. 674 00:54:44,734 --> 00:54:46,894 I got two numbers. I'm not sure if it's 60,000 675 00:54:46,894 --> 00:54:49,894 or 100,000. They surpassed. It was one or the other. 676 00:54:49,894 --> 00:54:55,115 I think it was 100,000 gross. But. Kudos to everyone 677 00:54:55,115 --> 00:55:00,395 that was part of that event and got that off 678 00:55:00,395 --> 00:55:07,686 the floor and running. And to chat GBT, apparently for 679 00:55:07,686 --> 00:55:12,427 helping plan, according to one of the planners. It was 680 00:55:12,427 --> 00:55:16,776 a running joke there, but. It wasn't a real fun 681 00:55:16,776 --> 00:55:20,108 night. And I'm glad to see that it was a 682 00:55:20,108 --> 00:55:25,697 success. Going back. I still have this motion up that 683 00:55:25,697 --> 00:55:31,194 Mayor Harrison put forward. For. The Life Saving Society for 684 00:55:31,194 --> 00:55:37,458 the swim program. I have to commend you. On this. 685 00:55:37,458 --> 00:55:40,458 I know it was down at Amel when I was 686 00:55:40,458 --> 00:55:45,098 there. You were asked to bring this forward. And to 687 00:55:45,098 --> 00:55:46,938 get in. I think we call it the bear pit 688 00:55:46,938 --> 00:55:49,938 or something like that, to be able to wrangle your 689 00:55:49,938 --> 00:55:53,018 way through all of those folks and manage to get 690 00:55:53,018 --> 00:55:59,919 that question. Out. To our minister. Ministers was definitely. A 691 00:55:59,919 --> 00:56:02,799 battle for sure. And I commend you for sticking to 692 00:56:02,799 --> 00:56:08,862 your guns. And getting this. Through. Not only down there, 693 00:56:08,862 --> 00:56:13,115 but through council. I have a little granddaughter, and the 694 00:56:13,115 --> 00:56:15,875 very first thing that her mama taught her was out 695 00:56:15,875 --> 00:56:19,770 of swim. And that's because she could do it. She 696 00:56:19,770 --> 00:56:23,050 could afford to do it. So I'm glad that you 697 00:56:23,050 --> 00:56:28,231 did bring that forward. And Roger brought up the fact 698 00:56:28,231 --> 00:56:33,346 of this new business adventure that I'm on. Crazy or 699 00:56:33,346 --> 00:56:36,186 not. My husband thinks I'm crazy, but that's all right. 700 00:56:37,677 --> 00:56:42,792 I want to say that. Starting a new business venture 701 00:56:42,792 --> 00:56:49,048 downtown. I wanted to put something forward that would not 702 00:56:49,048 --> 00:56:51,568 jumpstart, because I feel there's good things coming for a 703 00:56:51,568 --> 00:56:54,848 downtown. I do want to say that the majority of 704 00:56:54,848 --> 00:56:57,568 the work done to that building was not by me, 705 00:56:57,568 --> 00:57:00,248 but it was by the owner of that building, and 706 00:57:00,248 --> 00:57:05,466 that is Judy Godry. She is so committed to this 707 00:57:05,466 --> 00:57:11,360 community. And wanting to see downtown flourish. And I was 708 00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:13,920 the crazy one that said, hey, I'll step into that 709 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:19,188 space. Let's hope it's successful for our future and not 710 00:57:19,188 --> 00:57:22,690 for myself. I think everything that comes into our community. 711 00:57:25,473 --> 00:57:29,801 That is. Fun for the community, and it gives people 712 00:57:29,801 --> 00:57:34,580 a place to go. Irregardless of age, I'm all for 713 00:57:34,580 --> 00:57:37,980 that. So, anyone out there who wants to be in 714 00:57:37,980 --> 00:57:42,071 business and start a new business.

Their vice chair is Bonnie 747 01:00:23,366 --> 01:00:28,166 skiing, their secretary treasurer, their secretarium. Pardon me. Ms. Doreen 748 01:00:28,166 --> 01:00:35,436 Armstrong Ross. The treasurer is Alison Lund. Their focus remains 749 01:00:35,436 --> 01:00:38,636 doctor recruitment for the community. And when we say doctor, 750 01:00:40,049 --> 01:00:43,497 We need medical expertise for the community. They have a 751 01:00:43,497 --> 01:00:47,810 lot of success. We recently have a new doctor just 752 01:00:47,810 --> 01:00:52,562 started at the clinic up there. We have three that 753 01:00:52,562 --> 01:00:57,574 are in Hopper. That means. The next nine or ten 754 01:00:57,574 --> 01:01:00,454 months. We have three new doctors that are committed to 755 01:01:00,454 --> 01:01:04,403 coming to our community. So that is always good news. 756 01:01:06,185 --> 01:01:11,775 They're currently searching for a second. General surgeon. We have 757 01:01:11,775 --> 01:01:14,855 one. We need two, so we're working on getting a 758 01:01:14,855 --> 01:01:19,523 second one. Here. As always, money comes into it. The 759 01:01:19,523 --> 01:01:29,129 50 50 draw. Remains their huge fundraising. Ability up there. 760 01:01:31,101 --> 01:01:34,901 And it's kind of remarkable for a community decis to 761 01:01:34,901 --> 01:01:39,221 pull in over $120,000. A month just off a 50 762 01:01:39,221 --> 01:01:45,605 50 draw. And. We just hired a new coordinator. Jamie. 763 01:01:45,605 --> 01:01:50,907 Really? Folks might know him. He's the new fundraising coordinator 764 01:01:50,907 --> 01:01:58,593 up there. And from this money that the foundation raises. 765 01:02:01,990 --> 01:02:04,190 All goes back into the hospital in one way or 766 01:02:04,190 --> 01:02:10,834 another. And just at that meeting, we committed $300,000. For 767 01:02:10,834 --> 01:02:17,332 critical emergency lighting updates. The lighting. In the emergency room 768 01:02:17,332 --> 01:02:23,322 is archaic. Shot something like the arena went through. And 769 01:02:23,322 --> 01:02:28,186 so. We've given them $300,000 to update all that. It's 770 01:02:28,186 --> 01:02:31,386 an ongoing thing, so the money goes right back into 771 01:02:31,386 --> 01:02:36,289 the community. So keep buying. Them 50 50 tickets. I 772 01:02:36,289 --> 01:02:42,831 have also had the opportunity, the pleasure of working. With 773 01:02:42,831 --> 01:02:47,083 the Dragon goal getters board the past few months.
