I'm happy to be here to present the 70 00:09:08,919 --> 00:09:12,933 summary report of the 2025 Community Planning Service. That's delivered 71 00:09:12,954 --> 00:09:18,104 to the township by the County of Oxford. So the 72 00:09:18,144 --> 00:09:24,656 Planning Service is directly provided by Development Planner. Adam, who's 73 00:09:24,656 --> 00:09:29,857 normally here, supported by myself. And also a broader CPO 74 00:09:30,518 --> 00:09:36,062 team, including the director, manager of Planning Policy. Six or 75 00:09:36,102 --> 00:09:41,147 seven other development planners. Policy planners, and GIS analysts. So 76 00:09:41,168 --> 00:09:44,347 together the broader team is able to provide a comprehensive 77 00:09:45,648 --> 00:09:52,207 suite of provincial planning service and technical expertise. In support 78 00:09:52,247 --> 00:09:55,567 of broad range of county and township, planning projects initiatives. 79 00:09:56,172 --> 00:10:01,911 And including special studies, secondary planning, and comprehensive zoning updates. 80 00:10:01,911 --> 00:10:06,436 We're also supported by a team administrative staff. For the 81 00:10:06,436 --> 00:10:11,516 development review, a portion of the service in 2025, we 82 00:10:11,577 --> 00:10:16,608 process 29 development applications. Uh, within the township. Which represented 83 00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:20,848 seven percent of the total number of applications, submitted countywide 84 00:10:20,888 --> 00:10:24,807 last year. Uh, we also participated in preconstation meetings for 85 00:10:24,847 --> 00:10:30,008 development proposals. Uh, engaging with township staff and an Oxford 86 00:10:30,048 --> 00:10:33,528 County Public Work staff during pre - consultation meetings and 87 00:10:33,528 --> 00:10:38,509 through the review and evaluation. Adolescents and confirming that conditions 88 00:10:38,690 --> 00:10:41,949 of approval that were attached by the township, Land Division 89 00:10:41,989 --> 00:10:45,869 Committee, or the county have been appropriately satisfied. Uh, we 90 00:10:45,909 --> 00:10:54,829 also participated in updating the draft servicing allocation service incapacity 91 00:10:54,930 --> 00:10:59,348 allocation. Uh, and monitoring protocol. And we also helped with 92 00:10:59,849 --> 00:11:03,268 Oxford County Public Works deliver a webinar to the Delman 93 00:11:03,268 --> 00:11:08,312 community throughout the county. To write education on the allocation 94 00:11:08,333 --> 00:11:12,312 protocol that was approved by County Council in October, 2025. 95 00:11:13,226 --> 00:11:18,165 Last year, we also had significantly related to the candidate 96 00:11:18,266 --> 00:11:23,879 postal strike. This provided significant challenge to providing the required 97 00:11:24,300 --> 00:11:27,479 notice, uh, in accordance for the planning act for a 98 00:11:27,479 --> 00:11:31,639 number of applications during this period. Uh, significant time was 99 00:11:31,639 --> 00:11:34,839 spent, uh, spent arranging for delivery of notices by courier 100 00:11:35,420 --> 00:11:39,239 working with Township Quirk staff to do hand deliveries of 101 00:11:39,420 --> 00:11:45,956 notices were appropriate. All to minimize the time delays in 102 00:11:45,956 --> 00:11:50,036 the delivery class while still maintaining the processing to ensure 103 00:11:50,057 --> 00:11:53,716 we didn't have any appeals to the Ontario Land Tribunal 104 00:11:54,457 --> 00:11:58,992 for not meeting our legislative timelines and requirements. Uh, table, 105 00:11:58,992 --> 00:12:01,152 one of the report provides an overview of the application 106 00:12:01,173 --> 00:12:04,592 type submitted each year for the last five years and 107 00:12:04,592 --> 00:12:08,192 the five - year average for each type of application. 108 00:12:08,192 --> 00:12:11,552 Last year, application volumes were higher than a 2024, which 109 00:12:11,573 --> 00:12:15,552 had 19, but similar to volumes experienced in 2023, which 110 00:12:15,733 --> 00:12:21,292 was 31. Township staff and planning staff have regular, uh, 111 00:12:21,333 --> 00:12:26,512 regularly monitor the zoning by law just to observe trends. 112 00:12:26,512 --> 00:12:29,552 If the variances for one type of version, that routinely 113 00:12:29,592 --> 00:12:33,632 approved by council or committee of adjustment. It often makes 114 00:12:33,632 --> 00:12:37,952 sense for us to mince those provisions to reduce the 115 00:12:37,992 --> 00:12:40,112 number of applications that are required. So that's why you'll 116 00:12:40,112 --> 00:12:44,912 see sometimes the number of the applications, uh, can vary. 117 00:12:47,335 --> 00:12:51,554 Last year, we estimate that 37 new residential launcher units 118 00:12:51,575 --> 00:12:55,714 were approved in the township by either the township County 119 00:12:55,714 --> 00:13:00,034 Council Land Division Committee or Committee of Adjustment. 30 new 120 00:13:00,074 --> 00:13:04,354 units were had building permits issued in 2025. And of 121 00:13:04,354 --> 00:13:06,834 the 30 units, 24 were built in the village of 122 00:13:06,874 --> 00:13:09,794 Tavistock, two in the village of Interkip and the remaining 123 00:13:10,055 --> 00:13:14,674 four were in areas outside of settlements in the township. 124 00:13:14,674 --> 00:13:20,514 Uh, we estimate that there's currently 185 approved residential units 125 00:13:20,615 --> 00:13:23,794 or lots in the township at the year end of 126 00:13:23,834 --> 00:13:27,794 2025. If we used a three year, a building private 127 00:13:28,295 --> 00:13:31,714 building perimeter average afforded units per year is a representative 128 00:13:31,714 --> 00:13:35,394 about five years of approved residential supply. Or if we 129 00:13:35,434 --> 00:13:37,714 use the five year building permit average, this would be 130 00:13:37,714 --> 00:13:42,114 four years. The residential supply, which this does comply with 131 00:13:42,455 --> 00:13:46,414 the, both the county and the townships requirements in the 132 00:13:46,414 --> 00:13:50,274 PPS under section 2. 14 to maintain all at all 133 00:13:50,295 --> 00:13:54,114 times at least a three years supply of residential units. 134 00:13:55,061 --> 00:13:57,360 Uh, it's noted that additional growth lands will come on 135 00:13:57,861 --> 00:14:01,440 in the settlement areas in Tavistalk and Interkip wants to 136 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:10,840 completion of the secondary plan is finalized. For 2026 137 00:14:11,661 --> 00:14:15,400 staff are working with township staff to complete that secondary 138 00:14:15,501 --> 00:14:22,200 plan, implement the policies, agricultural policies of OPA - 269 139 00:14:22,861 --> 00:14:29,320 through a comprehensive agricultural zoning update. Uh, reviewing the extent 140 00:14:30,621 --> 00:14:36,760 and the language of the planning services agreement that the 141 00:14:36,781 --> 00:14:41,320 township has with the county for the planning services provided. 142 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,920 Provided a review of planning application fees to provide options 143 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,180 to the township, uh, if you wish to recover, uh, 144 00:14:49,181 --> 00:14:54,701 more of the costs associated with development review. The other 145 00:14:54,741 --> 00:14:57,421 half of the Department, uh, the policy plan, the policy 146 00:14:57,602 --> 00:15:00,461 planning team. They've been very busy. The last five years 147 00:15:00,642 --> 00:15:03,501 have had as much change as the last 40 years. 148 00:15:03,501 --> 00:15:05,808 Uh, in the planning act. So a lot of their 149 00:15:05,909 --> 00:15:12,528 time has been spent monitoring legislative change and implementing that, 150 00:15:12,528 --> 00:15:16,608 including changes through Bill 17, which allows, uh, minor variances 151 00:15:16,648 --> 00:15:22,348 without application changes to complete application requirements and changes, uh, 152 00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:27,808 to ministers zoning orders and the new streamlined approvals for 153 00:15:27,829 --> 00:15:31,728 Public Schools, Public Elementary Schools and the Public Secretary Schools. 154 00:15:33,607 --> 00:15:38,306 Proposed changes introduced through Bill 60 and 68, which exempt 155 00:15:38,327 --> 00:15:44,146 provincial decisions from a crime to consistently provincial policy consultations 156 00:15:44,186 --> 00:15:48,306 on approach regulations for minimum lot size as well as 157 00:15:48,407 --> 00:15:52,626 the establishment of the provincial conservation authority and the merger 158 00:15:52,666 --> 00:15:59,122 of the conservation authorities. As well last year we provided 159 00:15:59,143 --> 00:16:03,602 updating guidance and suggested process for planning for renewable energy 160 00:16:03,863 --> 00:16:11,034 and battery storage. Proposals. Uh, we also, uh, updated our 161 00:16:11,135 --> 00:16:15,514 chapter 10 policies to improve development process through revising or 162 00:16:15,554 --> 00:16:21,594 establishing policies for complete application requirements. Having the framework for 163 00:16:21,634 --> 00:16:24,714 delegation of approval authority, uh, so if it's something that 164 00:16:24,714 --> 00:16:27,754 the township is interested in, uh, we now have the 165 00:16:27,794 --> 00:16:33,434 ability to, uh, delegate, uh, more items, uh, to staff 166 00:16:33,535 --> 00:16:36,746 to avoid them having to come to council. And as 167 00:16:36,746 --> 00:16:41,306 well as developing, uh, implementation guidance and a new mapping 168 00:16:41,306 --> 00:16:45,946 layer to assist that township staff with interpreting the scope 169 00:16:46,207 --> 00:16:52,161 for the Azir Right Minor variances. Due to the patient 170 00:16:52,182 --> 00:16:55,121 scope of legislative changes to the planning act. There's still 171 00:16:55,121 --> 00:17:00,579 a tremendous amount of, uh, changes that are. Are made 172 00:17:00,579 --> 00:17:04,019 in legislation, but they don't have the implementing regulation issued 173 00:17:04,019 --> 00:17:08,099 yet. Uh, so often, you know, every Friday afternoon, you 174 00:17:08,139 --> 00:17:10,579 have to browse the registry of, I rent to registry 175 00:17:10,619 --> 00:17:13,199 to see what changes around the horizons. So a lot 176 00:17:13,199 --> 00:17:16,739 of our staff time is spent doing that and as 177 00:17:16,739 --> 00:17:20,979 well as keeping, uh, both, uh, township and county council 178 00:17:21,019 --> 00:17:25,379 surprised of the implications of those changes and providing comments 179 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:31,039 to the province through that, uh, through that process. Um, 180 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,539 I'll just turn it over to Don Ford to speak 181 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,299 about the sourcing capacity. And then I'll be able to 182 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:44,204 answer any questions. Thank you through the mayor of the 183 00:17:44,204 --> 00:17:49,623 council. Water and wastewater services works with planning. And with 184 00:17:49,644 --> 00:17:54,663 the recent, uh, capacity allocation policy, we basically put approvals 185 00:17:54,684 --> 00:17:57,303 in the three buckets. You'll see it expressed in the 186 00:17:57,484 --> 00:18:02,936 report. There's the committee capacity bucket. That's registered plan of 187 00:18:03,037 --> 00:18:08,952 subdivisions. Registered Plan of Condominiums, site approvals. Including industrial commercial 188 00:18:08,973 --> 00:18:13,592 or institutional plan of subdivisions and consent to sever once 189 00:18:13,613 --> 00:18:16,872 all the conditions are fulfilled. Then we have another bucket, 190 00:18:16,872 --> 00:18:22,552 which is conditionally conditionally committed capacity, which is draft approved 191 00:18:22,893 --> 00:18:26,872 plan of subdivisions, draft approved plan of condominiums and draft 192 00:18:27,053 --> 00:18:32,072 approval for industrial commercial institutional. And the third bucket code 193 00:18:32,112 --> 00:18:36,392 submitted in circulated, which is site plans or official plan 194 00:18:36,432 --> 00:18:40,072 amends. So with that in mind, if we look at, 195 00:18:40,072 --> 00:18:44,072 um, uh, if we look at the village of Tavistock, 196 00:18:44,072 --> 00:18:46,072 it says to me that with the current Wells Dynamic 197 00:18:46,093 --> 00:18:49,832 Supply Capacity, which is all of the Wells, they're currently 198 00:18:49,832 --> 00:18:55,432 available with operations and use. We're sitting at 58 percent 199 00:18:55,933 --> 00:19:01,512 with the existing usage and committed capacity. The utilizations expected 200 00:19:01,552 --> 00:19:05,832 to be 59 percent if we include the conditionally committed 201 00:19:05,853 --> 00:19:13,045 and submitted circulated. Leaving the forecasted unutilized equivalent of 4, 202 00:19:13,045 --> 00:19:17,536 000 residential units available. Upon development of the additional well 203 00:19:17,576 --> 00:19:22,896 supply, which is under designed in 27, 28 construction 2930 204 00:19:22,917 --> 00:19:26,256 to be online in 2031. The system would have an 205 00:19:26,256 --> 00:19:32,016 estimated feature dynamic supply capacity of 11, 837 cubic meters, 206 00:19:32,016 --> 00:19:38,016 leaving the forecasted, uh, unutilized capacity equivalent of 14, 701 207 00:19:38,117 --> 00:19:44,416 residential units. Respecting wastewater, treatment capacity. It's currently estimated that 208 00:19:44,416 --> 00:19:48,496 the Tavistock wastewater treatment plant is utilized at 88 percent 209 00:19:48,597 --> 00:19:53,856 with the existing usage and committed capacity. And that utilizations 210 00:19:53,957 --> 00:19:57,456 expected to be 90 percent of the current capacity of 211 00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:02,345 conditionally commit proposals are also included. After the expansion of 212 00:20:02,385 --> 00:20:08,025 the facility, planned for construction in 29 and 2030. This 213 00:20:08,025 --> 00:20:14,265 would represent then plant capacity. And we would then have 214 00:20:14,446 --> 00:20:20,745 a forecasted unutilized capacity equivalent of 1, 760 residential units. 215 00:20:21,676 --> 00:20:23,975 Now this right now is a hard ceiling for the 216 00:20:24,076 --> 00:20:27,575 current place in the receiver. We discharge. So, uh, in 217 00:20:27,575 --> 00:20:32,708 terms of assimilating any future expansions to the plant. Inner 218 00:20:32,748 --> 00:20:35,268 Kip, it says to me that the current Wells Dynamic 219 00:20:35,369 --> 00:20:40,951 Supply Capacity are sitting at 48 percent. The utilizations expect 220 00:20:40,951 --> 00:20:48,311 to be 57 percent. circulate were included leaving the forecasted 221 00:20:48,492 --> 00:20:53,929 unutilized capacity equivalent of 584 residential units. In terms of 222 00:20:53,969 --> 00:20:59,209 the wastewater pumping capacity, uh, the current intercap wastewater sewage 223 00:20:59,230 --> 00:21:02,729 pumping station is utilized at 84 percent with the existing 224 00:21:02,910 --> 00:21:08,169 and committed capacity. With the remaining unutilized capacity equivalent of 225 00:21:08,350 --> 00:21:13,129 125 units, um, utilization expected to be at a hundred 226 00:21:13,129 --> 00:21:16,649 percent of the current capacity if we include the submitted 227 00:21:16,689 --> 00:21:20,899 circularly proposals. Now after twinning of the fourth mane, which 228 00:21:20,899 --> 00:21:24,419 is in the county of Oxford Budget Book from 2034 229 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,579 to 35, which is undertaken for redundancy, there could be 230 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,659 additional capacity plan for in its design specifically for more 231 00:21:32,699 --> 00:21:39,020 development based on the township secondary plan requirements. Then in 232 00:21:39,060 --> 00:21:43,340 Hixon, uh, this community has a current utilized and committed 233 00:21:43,340 --> 00:21:47,020 capacity sitting at 17 percent of the 300 cubic meters 234 00:21:47,060 --> 00:21:50,380 a day dynamic supply that's possible. However, the system has 235 00:21:50,481 --> 00:21:54,300 a single well. And in the event that swells offline, 236 00:21:54,300 --> 00:21:57,180 we'd have to truck in water, which is maxed at 237 00:21:57,361 --> 00:22:01,420 100 cubic meters a day. So that leaves the forecasted 238 00:22:01,521 --> 00:22:07,420 unutilized capacity equivalent of 40 residential units. Uh, these are 239 00:22:07,521 --> 00:22:11,340 reviewed regularly by community planning and Oxford County Public Works 240 00:22:12,641 --> 00:22:16,060 as we work together the track these existing and future 241 00:22:16,060 --> 00:22:21,787 conditions. I thank you. Thank you, Mr. Ford. Any questions 242 00:22:21,808 --> 00:22:28,681 for our presenters. This morning. Councillor Rudy. 243 00:22:31,676 --> 00:22:38,382 When you talk about, uh, wastewater treatment, um. Expansion in 244 00:22:38,403 --> 00:22:42,702 2930. Are you talking expansion to the existing settlement ponds 245 00:22:42,803 --> 00:22:43,582 or is it something different. 246 00:22:52,641 --> 00:22:59,848 No. Expanded. It's under an EA process, environmental assessment process. 247 00:22:59,848 --> 00:23:04,328 And we're putting together alternatives for a public meeting to 248 00:23:04,349 --> 00:23:07,832 determine which is the best alternative. Some of those alternatives 249 00:23:07,872 --> 00:23:11,039 are a hybrid where we keep the lagoons. And have 250 00:23:11,380 --> 00:23:13,919 an additional process attached to it so that we meet 251 00:23:14,900 --> 00:23:19,999 the requirements for the receiver for those types of volumes. 252 00:23:19,999 --> 00:23:23,599 Um, other options are to go fully mechanical. Uh, they 253 00:23:23,639 --> 00:23:27,359 all have different prices, costs, environmental impacts. So those all 254 00:23:27,399 --> 00:23:31,039 need to be presented to the public and, uh, decided 255 00:23:31,060 --> 00:23:35,897 upon. But that's what would be reference. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. 256 00:23:35,897 --> 00:23:40,440 Thank you. And just as I'll add an add - 257 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,600 on to that, there already has been one public meeting 258 00:23:42,621 --> 00:23:47,946 regarding that. That was held quite a while ago. So 259 00:23:47,967 --> 00:23:52,857 any other questions for presenters. Deputy Mayor Smith. For the 260 00:23:52,878 --> 00:23:56,377 Hickson well that's here. And you said if we have 261 00:23:56,377 --> 00:23:59,406 an issue with the well, thuc trucked in water. Do 262 00:23:59,406 --> 00:24:03,103 you have a dedicated provider for that. Or are you 263 00:24:03,364 --> 00:24:05,426 just, will you look for one at the time. Um, 264 00:24:05,687 --> 00:24:08,066 I know some of the companies that used to haul 265 00:24:08,106 --> 00:24:11,666 water for the county are no longer provide that service. 266 00:24:12,087 --> 00:24:16,866 And I just wondered who you have under contractor under 267 00:24:16,906 --> 00:24:21,506 contact for providing water to the services over here if 268 00:24:21,506 --> 00:24:25,500 we need it. Excellent. Through the mayor of the council, 269 00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:29,660 um, I believe operations through our QMS system, calling management 270 00:24:29,681 --> 00:24:33,900 system maintains a list of vital suppliers at all times. 271 00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:36,620 And they review it annually. So whatever would have been 272 00:24:36,620 --> 00:24:39,100 on there previously that's dropped off. There will be a 273 00:24:39,100 --> 00:24:42,940 new supplier identify so that operations can quickly get the 274 00:24:42,980 --> 00:24:50,759 water. Yeah. Any other questions for Councillor Smith. Thank you. 275 00:24:50,759 --> 00:24:54,839 Rewardship. Not a question. Simply a comment. I think this 276 00:24:54,860 --> 00:25:04,285 is a great report gives us plenty. Of, uh, information, 277 00:25:04,285 --> 00:25:09,405 uh, what we can expect moving forward. And it's certainly 278 00:25:09,586 --> 00:25:16,605 exemplifies great collaboration between the community planning office and our 279 00:25:16,645 --> 00:25:21,725 staff, uh, we appreciate, uh, everything that the CPO does. 280 00:25:22,407 --> 00:25:26,146 And, uh, I think I speak for everybody the expertise 281 00:25:27,527 --> 00:25:31,346 that Mr. Robson and more recently, Mr. Giniak, uh, bring 282 00:25:32,247 --> 00:25:38,399 to planning any sort of tabostock. On an ongoing basis. 283 00:25:38,399 --> 00:25:41,927 So thanks so much. Thank you. Any other questions for 284 00:25:42,028 --> 00:25:48,354 our presenters. I've got a couple of quick ones. As 285 00:25:48,354 --> 00:25:52,927 far as interkips, wastewater capacity. You foresee because of that 286 00:25:52,967 --> 00:25:55,327 twinning is not going to be done for another eight 287 00:25:55,367 --> 00:25:59,455 years, nine years. Do you see where we will basically 288 00:25:59,495 --> 00:26:02,015 hit the wall before then as far as new development 289 00:26:02,036 --> 00:26:05,179 goes. Quite a bit in advance of that? Do you 290 00:26:05,179 --> 00:26:09,079 see that happening? Maybe the best answer to that. Maybe 291 00:26:09,100 --> 00:26:11,719 over to Eric their best to judge the, uh, development 292 00:26:12,140 --> 00:26:20,246 progress and interkip perhaps. Based on the current building permit 293 00:26:20,286 --> 00:26:22,886 volumes and settlement areas. I think we probably have time 294 00:26:22,907 --> 00:26:29,730 in Interkip. Until that, um, comes online. We do review 295 00:26:29,751 --> 00:26:32,050 these, all these numbers annually so that we know that 296 00:26:32,071 --> 00:26:35,970 if we're coming up closer to that, um, hopefully public 297 00:26:36,071 --> 00:26:39,170 works can move it up in their capital budget to 298 00:26:39,191 --> 00:26:41,170 start the process earlier. I know we are sensitive to 299 00:26:41,170 --> 00:26:43,888 that. Uh, so we, we, we do build in appropriate 300 00:26:43,989 --> 00:26:46,097 lead time to all of these projects. And that's why 301 00:26:46,678 --> 00:26:52,257 the annual, um, completion of building premise stats and the 302 00:26:52,678 --> 00:26:55,057 land supply. Like this report ideally would come to you 303 00:26:55,638 --> 00:26:58,097 in January, February. But it takes time for us to 304 00:26:58,998 --> 00:27:01,697 consolidate all the information. And then as well get the 305 00:27:02,438 --> 00:27:05,457 water and waste water information and then put them together, 306 00:27:05,457 --> 00:27:07,597 uh, find the trends and then present the information. And 307 00:27:07,597 --> 00:27:13,592 then that does factor into future budget plans. Thank you. 308 00:27:13,693 --> 00:27:17,592 Because I think the 125 max units will be hit 309 00:27:17,853 --> 00:27:20,952 well before 2034, 35, right? So that's going to have 310 00:27:20,952 --> 00:27:24,759 to be considered. Earlier in that. Eric, can you give 311 00:27:24,759 --> 00:27:29,559 us a real reader's digest version of the updated guidance 312 00:27:29,580 --> 00:27:36,659 on renewable energy projects in Oxford County. Sure. So the 313 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:42,339 process is, I'll say largely driven by the independent electricity 314 00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:46,259 system operator. So they have what's called the procurement rounds. 315 00:27:47,001 --> 00:27:50,380 Uh, so the, um, the last round closed, I think 316 00:27:50,441 --> 00:27:53,200 was that last end of last year. Our battery energy 317 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,840 storage projects. So what happens is the proponent, um, makes 318 00:27:57,861 --> 00:28:02,160 the application, do I ESO. They need to get resolution 319 00:28:02,261 --> 00:28:07,480 of support from the local municipality. Um, the difficulty with 320 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,520 that is, you know, they're asking, um, like for a 321 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,480 battery energy storage project, there can be major implications from 322 00:28:13,581 --> 00:28:19,019 a fire perspective. Um, uh, public health potentially, uh, if 323 00:28:19,019 --> 00:28:22,939 they do catch fire, um, there's often, uh, in Tanchman 324 00:28:22,979 --> 00:28:25,979 ECT, you're going to have agricultural impacts. So it's difficult 325 00:28:26,019 --> 00:28:29,979 to provide that initial resolution of support without having any 326 00:28:29,979 --> 00:28:34,199 of the, uh, the details and the studies completed. Uh, 327 00:28:34,199 --> 00:28:37,479 so essentially, uh, we suggested that there'd be a, uh, 328 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,459 process or a protocol followed where the applicant would be 329 00:28:40,499 --> 00:28:44,779 required to provide some minimum studies, some citing, uh, citing 330 00:28:44,819 --> 00:28:48,059 information, uh, give us information of how you arrived at 331 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,379 this at the proposed site, potential impacts, uh, and do 332 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,459 a screening. And essentially then, uh, our staff would bring 333 00:28:56,499 --> 00:28:59,419 a report, the township council, you know, to give you 334 00:28:59,459 --> 00:29:03,259 information of, uh, this is the potential impacts or these 335 00:29:03,299 --> 00:29:06,219 are the things that have to be further worked out. 336 00:29:06,219 --> 00:29:08,939 Uh, and then you would have that information and applicant 337 00:29:08,939 --> 00:29:11,899 would be provide that information. We could potentially even have 338 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,539 a peer review at the beginning, uh, before you do 339 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,619 provide that initial resolution of support. Because once you provide 340 00:29:18,659 --> 00:29:21,979 that, then the actual, it's kind of backwards, but that's 341 00:29:21,979 --> 00:29:25,579 when the formal planning process starts. That's when they submit 342 00:29:25,619 --> 00:29:28,439 the application for official plan amendment and zone change, uh, 343 00:29:28,439 --> 00:29:30,779 that's where you do the formal circulation. That's where the 344 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:35,019 formal public consultation happens. But that's kind of after they've 345 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:39,339 already got a preliminary resolution of support. So I know 346 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:44,699 we've advocated through the webinars and consultation with ISO that 347 00:29:44,699 --> 00:29:45,739 there has to be a better way to do it. 348 00:29:46,142 --> 00:29:49,721 Than requiring that up front. Cause it really, sometimes it 349 00:29:49,761 --> 00:29:53,321 undermines the Public's confidence in the process because the township's 350 00:29:53,321 --> 00:29:55,881 already said, yes, we're willing to consider this before you've 351 00:29:55,921 --> 00:29:59,481 actually had the studies. And you've heard from the public. 352 00:29:59,481 --> 00:30:02,361 But yeah, this protocol is a way to try to 353 00:30:02,382 --> 00:30:09,307 mitigate some of those possible impacts. Thank you. Councillor Rudy. 354 00:30:10,962 --> 00:30:13,421 One of the other things in Tavistock with respect to 355 00:30:13,461 --> 00:30:16,861 sewage treatment is the William Street Pumping Station. There was 356 00:30:16,901 --> 00:30:19,261 an upgrade to that supposed to happen to allow some 357 00:30:19,261 --> 00:30:23,451 more. West End development. Is that scheduled for soon or 358 00:30:23,552 --> 00:30:30,880 next year? What's the schedule for that. Through Mayor to 359 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,720 council. So yes, good point about the Suez Pumping Station. 360 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:40,524 It is currently under design. So the Zylpher and then 361 00:30:40,564 --> 00:30:43,884 to the next. I'll begin thereafter as all the studies 362 00:30:43,924 --> 00:30:47,084 have been completed. So it'll probably be a year and 363 00:30:47,084 --> 00:30:50,284 a half further.

That is carried. 373 00:31:46,876 --> 00:31:50,855 We are on to item seven correspondence for information. We 374 00:31:51,036 --> 00:31:55,255 have just one item under that today. And that's Oxford 375 00:31:55,295 --> 00:31:59,335 County Public Works, new general water and wastewater services Byla 376 00:31:59,916 --> 00:32:09,675 update. Any questions regarding regarding that piece of information. I 377 00:32:09,675 --> 00:32:11,835 don't see any. We have a resolution to receive that 378 00:32:11,856 --> 00:32:18,286 item as information beyond your screen. Move by Councilor Zare, 379 00:32:18,286 --> 00:32:21,806 seconded by Council Rudy that correspondence for information item 7A. 380 00:32:21,806 --> 00:32:26,657 Be received as information. Any discussion. We'll call the vote. 381 00:32:39,492 --> 00:32:44,946 That is carried. Veronica item A correspondence for action. The 382 00:32:44,946 --> 00:32:52,283 Upper Times River Conservation Authority. Invasive species prior prioritization. Work. 383 00:32:52,283 --> 00:32:58,671 Um. Any member staff want to comment on that? 384 00:33:02,279 --> 00:33:04,658 I can marshafer. Thank you. Um, this was a request 385 00:33:04,698 --> 00:33:08,098 that, uh, staff received from the upper Times Conservation Authority 386 00:33:08,679 --> 00:33:15,138 regarding invasive species prioritization work. Um, so they already doing 387 00:33:15,319 --> 00:33:18,338 some work this year in the township regarding frag mites 388 00:33:18,359 --> 00:33:21,378 and other invasive species. Um, if council wants more information 389 00:33:21,479 --> 00:33:24,898 on that, I'm sure, um, our director of, um, infrastructure 390 00:33:24,919 --> 00:33:27,918 and community services. Tom Lightfoot can speak to that. Um, 391 00:33:27,918 --> 00:33:31,218 but at this point this request is just from the 392 00:33:31,399 --> 00:33:37,758 UTRCA asking council to support their work in 2027, um, 393 00:33:37,799 --> 00:33:41,138 in that request, four different areas. I believe that they're 394 00:33:41,138 --> 00:33:45,838 asking for support. One is including funding, um, and the 395 00:33:45,838 --> 00:33:50,458 others are Public Engagement. Um, access to mailing lists, et 396 00:33:50,458 --> 00:33:54,463 cetera. So. Happy to try and answer any questions that 397 00:33:54,463 --> 00:33:56,943 council may have on this one. Thank you, Clark Vader. 398 00:33:56,943 --> 00:34:01,911 Uh, Deputy Mayor Smith. What is this invasive species that 399 00:34:01,951 --> 00:34:09,367 they're talking about. There's a couple of different ones. I 400 00:34:09,367 --> 00:34:13,567 think there's a not weed. There's the one that they're 401 00:34:13,607 --> 00:34:17,167 really focusing on for here is the Fragmite, the invasive 402 00:34:17,207 --> 00:34:20,447 fragmites. There's native phragmities and the invasive ones. We do 403 00:34:20,487 --> 00:34:23,158 have some small pockets. The larger portion of them are 404 00:34:23,579 --> 00:34:26,838 on private property. Some have encroached out into the right 405 00:34:26,838 --> 00:34:31,638 of way. We've been cutting those back. Um, Ostri County 406 00:34:31,659 --> 00:34:35,396 has been, had a program in the past years. Treating 407 00:34:35,417 --> 00:34:38,596 them spraying the phrag mitezine base of fragmites. So I 408 00:34:38,596 --> 00:34:42,128 think. Upper Thames is looking to get more involved in 409 00:34:42,128 --> 00:34:43,968 that to try to control these as they do grow 410 00:34:44,229 --> 00:34:47,051 rapidly. And they spread quite easy. It's as simple as 411 00:34:47,472 --> 00:34:50,631 I was to a lecture on Fragmighties years ago. And 412 00:34:50,631 --> 00:34:53,131 you could carry a little piece of a route from 413 00:34:53,312 --> 00:34:55,291 digging in a ditch and have it on your equipment 414 00:34:55,552 --> 00:34:57,451 and dumping in debt somewhere else. And they will literally 415 00:34:57,472 --> 00:35:01,211 grow from that. And they choke out native species and 416 00:35:01,232 --> 00:35:09,604 cause issues for native animals as well. Mr. Fallout question. 417 00:35:09,705 --> 00:35:12,004 What do they look like? Like what are they distinctive 418 00:35:12,044 --> 00:35:17,124 looking or can? Yeah. So the Frag Mighty, there you'll 419 00:35:17,164 --> 00:35:18,404 see them along. If you go up to the top 420 00:35:18,665 --> 00:35:20,884 end of our ninth line up by the Perth Oxford 421 00:35:21,385 --> 00:35:24,004 by the water there, the some on Maple Woodside Road 422 00:35:24,004 --> 00:35:27,524 County Spray. Some there. They're like a tall they got 423 00:35:27,524 --> 00:35:30,352 here as an ornamental grass. They can get to be 424 00:35:30,392 --> 00:35:32,912 the invasive ones get to be 10, 12 feet tall. 425 00:35:34,062 --> 00:35:37,241 They get large flour seeds on the top that look 426 00:35:37,262 --> 00:35:41,679 like. Hair in essence. So the native ones are usually 427 00:35:41,700 --> 00:35:44,919 shorter for five feet. But when they get those 10, 428 00:35:44,959 --> 00:35:47,239 12 foot tall sometimes, those are the end they get 429 00:35:47,279 --> 00:35:50,599 really closely grown together that it makes an impossible for 430 00:35:50,620 --> 00:35:53,559 things to grow through them. But yeah, if you look 431 00:35:53,559 --> 00:35:56,199 up at the top end of the ninth, there's some 432 00:35:56,239 --> 00:36:00,502 there. Um, that's probably our biggest area there. There's some 433 00:36:00,502 --> 00:36:02,982 over at County Road 8 in the 10th on the 434 00:36:03,083 --> 00:36:08,002 castle on the corner. There's a couple little pockets, but 435 00:36:08,043 --> 00:36:10,102 really up the top ends, our biggest one. We have 436 00:36:10,123 --> 00:36:13,702 some actually an interkip, I believe. There's some in the 437 00:36:13,883 --> 00:36:18,859 storm pond on Burton. Growing in there that the developer, 438 00:36:18,859 --> 00:36:20,539 when he cleans out that pawn, we'll have to clean 439 00:36:20,579 --> 00:36:23,003 those out as well. But yeah, so if he wants 440 00:36:23,043 --> 00:36:25,563 to see over, that's probably interkip. That's the closest over 441 00:36:25,603 --> 00:36:31,155 there. Any other questions for staff? Councilor Rudy. I think 442 00:36:31,155 --> 00:36:33,235 you can see the native ones on the side of 443 00:36:33,416 --> 00:36:38,115 County Road 33 over between the 14th and the 15th. 444 00:36:38,115 --> 00:36:42,755 And the ditches, the out grouping of those frond pragmaties. 445 00:36:42,755 --> 00:36:44,275 But I think they're the shorter ones. They're only four 446 00:36:44,275 --> 00:36:46,638 or five feet tall. They have like a big feather 447 00:36:46,659 --> 00:36:49,378 type top on them. Probably coming up now or in 448 00:36:49,378 --> 00:36:55,004 the fall, they'll be in lume. Any other questions regarding 449 00:36:55,425 --> 00:37:00,146 this report. Not seeing any wheat. There's a resolution that 450 00:37:00,186 --> 00:37:02,946 will be on your screen to support the request and 451 00:37:02,946 --> 00:37:09,328 to send the municipal letter of support. Move by Councillor 452 00:37:09,368 --> 00:37:12,208 Smith, seconded by Deputy Mayor Smith at Council Support the 453 00:37:12,208 --> 00:37:15,648 Request from the Upper Times River Conservation Authority regarding invasive 454 00:37:15,688 --> 00:37:18,608 species prioritization work. And that staff be directed to complete 455 00:37:18,709 --> 00:37:21,808 and send the municipal letter of support template to the 456 00:37:21,829 --> 00:37:27,043 upper Thames River Conservation Authority. Any discussion regarding that resolution. 457 00:37:31,266 --> 00:37:39,937 Not seeing any. We'll call the vote. That is carried. 458 00:37:40,431 --> 00:37:43,850 We are on to item nine reports. So we have 459 00:37:44,591 --> 00:37:48,851 a 2026 building department year to date report. From Director 460 00:37:48,872 --> 00:37:55,463 of Building and Development Services CBO John Scheer. John, is 461 00:37:55,463 --> 00:37:57,983 there any highlights you wish to go over on that 462 00:37:58,023 --> 00:38:00,303 report? Yep. So just a couple of, a couple of 463 00:38:00,324 --> 00:38:05,663 keynotes here. Um, permit numbers construction value and fees of 464 00:38:05,703 --> 00:38:08,623 all increased year to year. Single family dwellings have decreased 465 00:38:08,804 --> 00:38:12,463 year to year. Um, and that's basically just a supply 466 00:38:12,463 --> 00:38:16,954 issue right now. For Bylaw, again, we've increased the number 467 00:38:16,954 --> 00:38:21,092 of complaints we've responded to. By about 12. So that's 468 00:38:21,132 --> 00:38:24,452 not too, too bad. Uh, and the development section, there's 469 00:38:24,452 --> 00:38:26,692 nothing really here to highlight, but the exception of Parkside 470 00:38:26,713 --> 00:38:30,132 subdivision, TAV stock should begin pre - servicing the next 471 00:38:30,153 --> 00:38:34,519 month. So we should see that come online for 2027. 472 00:38:35,392 --> 00:38:37,731 And those are going to be all townhome units. As 473 00:38:37,731 --> 00:38:42,331 far as planning goes, it's been pretty quiet. Um, we've 474 00:38:42,371 --> 00:38:45,371 been working with WSP in regards to the secondary plan, 475 00:38:45,371 --> 00:38:49,851 uh, we finalized the areas in which we're going to, 476 00:38:49,851 --> 00:38:54,091 we just received public works comments for the finalized plan. 477 00:38:54,091 --> 00:38:57,964 We'll present to council. And the public, and so we 478 00:38:57,964 --> 00:38:59,624 should be seeing something hopefully by the end of the 479 00:38:59,624 --> 00:39:02,764 year. As far as drainage goes, large products do make 480 00:39:02,804 --> 00:39:05,953 a correction here. Uh, have Russell drain. Oh, that should 481 00:39:05,953 --> 00:39:08,633 have been Nicholas Strain. Um, that we worked on. So 482 00:39:08,633 --> 00:39:12,113 we received those, uh, some other projects. Tim's Creek, that's 483 00:39:12,113 --> 00:39:15,073 about an eight kilometer clean out. Uh, that should be, 484 00:39:15,073 --> 00:39:18,854 uh, started later on this year early next year. Reimer's 485 00:39:18,854 --> 00:39:22,141 in. That should be coming back to council. Um, the 486 00:39:22,402 --> 00:39:26,141 drain realignment for the 1979 drain for Brett Zerr's development 487 00:39:26,242 --> 00:39:30,221 in Tavistock. Petition's been approved. Um, so we should be 488 00:39:30,221 --> 00:39:34,061 seeing that one start any time. As far as locates, 489 00:39:34,061 --> 00:39:36,461 uh, we have almost doubled the volume of locates this 490 00:39:36,461 --> 00:39:40,701 year. Um, uh, in comparison to last year and same 491 00:39:40,701 --> 00:39:44,117 with the emergency locates that we receive off hours. And 492 00:39:44,117 --> 00:39:48,037 finally, we did plan lower this year for building permit 493 00:39:48,058 --> 00:39:51,557 revenue, but we should be able to, uh, make or 494 00:39:51,597 --> 00:39:56,380 exceed the budgeted amount this year. Field any questions. Thank 495 00:39:56,380 --> 00:40:01,138 you. Councillor Van Wyck. Just a question on the orchard 496 00:40:01,178 --> 00:40:03,218 subdivision out of the township. We'll be taking ownership of 497 00:40:03,218 --> 00:40:05,378 that. Um, I believe the 10 acres of Parkland coming 498 00:40:05,479 --> 00:40:08,607 through that. Is there any proposals for what that park 499 00:40:08,607 --> 00:40:09,727 land is going to look like? Or is that going 500 00:40:09,727 --> 00:40:11,967 to be in the winter, maybe a question for Karen? 501 00:40:12,007 --> 00:40:14,207 Is that going to be some proposals of what that 502 00:40:14,228 --> 00:40:15,567 proclaimer is going to look like? What can we do 503 00:40:15,567 --> 00:40:17,887 with it? Or is that going to be like maybe 504 00:40:17,887 --> 00:40:21,407 some public opinion on that as well? Uh, Tom's handling 505 00:40:21,588 --> 00:40:24,847 the development. So essentially once we get spare land through 506 00:40:24,868 --> 00:40:28,207 subdivisions, uh, it's off of, uh, development services and put 507 00:40:28,308 --> 00:40:31,207 onto Tom because he'll be responsible for future maintenance. So 508 00:40:31,268 --> 00:40:36,585 I'll let Tom kind of. Yeah. So I've had some 509 00:40:36,625 --> 00:40:39,385 discussions with the developer. Likely it'll be throughout the winter 510 00:40:39,566 --> 00:40:42,905 this year that the land will transfer and become the 511 00:40:42,945 --> 00:40:47,321 townships, Lynn. So I've had some preliminary discussions with developer, 512 00:40:47,321 --> 00:40:49,801 both possibly getting in there. There is no requirement for 513 00:40:49,841 --> 00:40:53,401 him to finalize the site or then to level the 514 00:40:53,441 --> 00:40:56,958 soil. So I'd like to get in there ahead time 515 00:40:57,379 --> 00:41:00,318 this all yet maybe work the land, get some grass 516 00:41:00,318 --> 00:41:02,278 seed down. So at least we've got some cover. So 517 00:41:02,278 --> 00:41:04,798 we're not growing weeds next year for the residents that 518 00:41:04,798 --> 00:41:09,358 back onto the property. And then there'll be the opportunity 519 00:41:09,619 --> 00:41:13,838 then in the 2027 budget for council to give some 520 00:41:13,859 --> 00:41:19,056 direction on what you envision there. Obviously ideas. That I 521 00:41:19,096 --> 00:41:20,816 would love to share on what we could do on 522 00:41:20,816 --> 00:41:24,336 the property. But ultimately it's come down to council decision 523 00:41:24,376 --> 00:41:26,056 on what they want to do with the land. We 524 00:41:26,056 --> 00:41:29,936 are quite restricted. You can't do stuff like playgrounds there. 525 00:41:29,936 --> 00:41:32,096 Like playground equipment. You can't put buildings there because it 526 00:41:32,096 --> 00:41:35,376 is the setbacks to the lagoons. But open green spaces 527 00:41:35,637 --> 00:41:39,245 trails. Stuff like that. Soccer fields, that type of thing 528 00:41:39,586 --> 00:41:46,579 would be allowed on that property. Any other questions to 529 00:41:46,579 --> 00:41:50,257 have counsel really. You indicated we're up on building permits. 530 00:41:50,257 --> 00:41:53,857 We're up on building permit value. Uh, down on residential, 531 00:41:53,857 --> 00:41:55,997 which was kind of driving the township, the last number 532 00:41:55,997 --> 00:41:59,697 of years, what's taken the place? Why is it industrial 533 00:42:00,198 --> 00:42:03,587 or what's the item that's picking it up. Dom, there's 534 00:42:03,608 --> 00:42:05,907 two items really. When you get a large inflexibility in 535 00:42:05,947 --> 00:42:08,067 permits for single family dwellings, they are always followed up 536 00:42:08,168 --> 00:42:09,907 in the next couple of years with Dex and sheds. 537 00:42:10,689 --> 00:42:13,628 So we did see an increase in that. Um, that's 538 00:42:13,628 --> 00:42:16,348 mainly where the value is. Sorry, as far as construction 539 00:42:16,449 --> 00:42:19,388 values go, um, and fees, we did increase the fees. 540 00:42:19,388 --> 00:42:23,228 So we should naturally see an increase in collected fees. 541 00:42:23,228 --> 00:42:25,788 And, um, inflation has driven costs higher. So that's where 542 00:42:25,828 --> 00:42:31,313 the construction value likely is increased from. So. Any other 543 00:42:31,353 --> 00:42:35,830 questions. I just have a quick one. Uh, John locates, 544 00:42:35,830 --> 00:42:38,310 uh, I understand locates seem to take a while to 545 00:42:38,310 --> 00:42:42,550 get done recently. Has that improved that situation? Um, yeah, 546 00:42:42,550 --> 00:42:45,910 we haven't, we haven't proved that quite a bit. Typically 547 00:42:46,011 --> 00:42:48,550 the locates are held up by, uh, by GTEL because 548 00:42:48,550 --> 00:42:51,510 they handle a lot more infrastructure locates than we do. 549 00:42:51,510 --> 00:42:55,890 Um, in this situation staff, um, have been working, you 550 00:42:55,890 --> 00:42:57,670 know, not overtime, but they've been working kind of to 551 00:42:57,670 --> 00:43:00,630 the max on this. And we do have procedures when 552 00:43:00,670 --> 00:43:03,510 we do hit higher volumes where we pull some staff 553 00:43:03,611 --> 00:43:06,390 members, including myself, um, to go out and do some 554 00:43:06,491 --> 00:43:10,310 locates as well. So it's not, it's not as dire 555 00:43:10,331 --> 00:43:12,230 as it looks. I know a hundred percent increase looks 556 00:43:12,251 --> 00:43:15,475 shocking. But we do have procedures in place to handle 557 00:43:15,496 --> 00:43:17,795 it. Yeah. I was more concerned with the third party 558 00:43:18,056 --> 00:43:21,155 locates. I know where, uh, we're getting hard to get 559 00:43:21,195 --> 00:43:22,115 done. Okay. Thank you. 560 00:43:38,052 --> 00:43:40,831 Move my counsel van wick. Second in my counselor Rudy, 561 00:43:40,831 --> 00:43:44,351 the report DBTS - 2026 - 02. He accepted his 562 00:43:44,391 --> 00:43:44,911 information. 563 00:44:07,143 --> 00:44:10,322 Thank you, Mayor Schaefer, um, as detailed in the report. 564 00:44:10,322 --> 00:44:12,642 Um, this is, this is a standard requirement under the 565 00:44:12,682 --> 00:44:16,242 municipal elections act. Um, every municipalities required to have a 566 00:44:16,242 --> 00:44:20,642 joint municipality is required to have a compliance audit committee. 567 00:44:20,642 --> 00:44:24,802 Um, in this case, um, the Arymuncipalities of Oxford County 568 00:44:24,823 --> 00:44:28,562 have elected for a joint compliance audit committee. Um, that's 569 00:44:28,663 --> 00:44:31,282 a practice that they've been doing for a number of 570 00:44:31,282 --> 00:44:33,522 years and it's been successful in terms of sharing costs 571 00:44:33,543 --> 00:44:37,122 and resources. Um, so this report essentially is just detailing 572 00:44:37,122 --> 00:44:41,842 that process details, um, what is required by the committee, 573 00:44:41,842 --> 00:44:45,522 uh, who the recommended committee members are. And then just, 574 00:44:45,522 --> 00:44:47,282 it has the draft by when it touched as well 575 00:44:47,322 --> 00:44:50,322 for that. Um, so just for background, as I said, 576 00:44:50,423 --> 00:44:54,062 the municipal elections act requires counsel to a point, uh, 577 00:44:54,062 --> 00:44:56,802 compliance audit committee prior to October 1st in an election 578 00:44:56,842 --> 00:45:01,202 year. Um, and then the committee itself has responsibilities to 579 00:45:01,223 --> 00:45:04,882 review and receive any complaints against a candidate. Um, in 580 00:45:04,882 --> 00:45:10,162 the municipal election in regards to their financial campaign contributions, 581 00:45:10,162 --> 00:45:13,122 um, or how they've spent campaign finances. So if a 582 00:45:13,162 --> 00:45:15,842 complaint is received, it's received by the clerk. And then 583 00:45:15,842 --> 00:45:19,842 it's forwarded to the joint compliant audits commit joint compliance 584 00:45:19,842 --> 00:45:23,502 audit committee for their review. And at that time, the 585 00:45:23,502 --> 00:45:26,302 committee would review it and deem whether or not, um, 586 00:45:26,663 --> 00:45:28,802 any breach was made by the candidate or whether they 587 00:45:28,823 --> 00:45:33,042 recommend that a formal investigation is taken. And that's forage 588 00:45:33,082 --> 00:45:35,442 to the courts to decide whether or not that candidate 589 00:45:35,482 --> 00:45:39,122 has violated their ability to still, um, be an elected 590 00:45:39,162 --> 00:45:43,802 member of council based on their, um, financial decisions. So 591 00:45:44,103 --> 00:45:46,322 happy answer any questions that anyone might have regarding that. 592 00:45:47,662 --> 00:45:56,105 Thank you Clark Raider. Any questions. Regarding this report. Looking 593 00:45:56,105 --> 00:45:59,065 at the list of candidates, our former members, and I 594 00:45:59,065 --> 00:46:01,945 look at the new members, it seems most are somewhat 595 00:46:01,966 --> 00:46:06,347 local to Oxford. And they've added a lawyer from Grey 596 00:46:06,387 --> 00:46:08,747 County, which seems to be an outlier. Is there some 597 00:46:08,747 --> 00:46:10,987 specific reason he brings to the table or how does 598 00:46:11,168 --> 00:46:14,308 that find its way on here? So no specific reason 599 00:46:15,209 --> 00:46:18,388 in specifically choosing that member of the committee. Um, the 600 00:46:18,409 --> 00:46:20,548 clerks reviewed all the applicants we received for the joint 601 00:46:20,569 --> 00:46:24,628 compliant on its committee. And he, this gentleman, uh, David 602 00:46:24,889 --> 00:46:27,108 Nisko, he was deemed to be one of the most 603 00:46:27,929 --> 00:46:31,108 qualified in terms of picking that, um, generally the joint 604 00:46:31,148 --> 00:46:34,868 compliant audit committee members are either lawyers or former CIOs 605 00:46:34,889 --> 00:46:37,668 or someone that has, um, an expertise in that area 606 00:46:38,409 --> 00:46:41,788 so that they're able to process those reviews expediently. So 607 00:46:41,788 --> 00:46:45,508 he was one of the, um, selected members, um, of 608 00:46:45,609 --> 00:46:51,622 the new applicants that we received. Any other questions regarding 609 00:46:52,203 --> 00:46:58,698 this report. Not seeing any. We have a resolution to. 610 00:47:00,467 --> 00:47:09,423 Approve this. Committee. Move by Deputy Mayor Smith, seconded by 611 00:47:09,463 --> 00:47:13,703 Councillor Smith, a report DLS - 2026 - 06. Be 612 00:47:13,703 --> 00:47:16,143 received his information in the Council approve the formation of 613 00:47:16,244 --> 00:47:19,263 a joint compliance audit committee and partnership with Oxford County 614 00:47:19,303 --> 00:47:24,363 Municipalities for the 2026 to 20230 term of office. And 615 00:47:24,363 --> 00:47:27,743 further, the Council Point David Morris, Carol Simmons, Keith Reibling, 616 00:47:27,783 --> 00:47:31,903 Christine's Crimger, Davidsco and Kyle Krueger to the 2026 Joint 617 00:47:31,903 --> 00:47:35,263 Compliance Audit Committee. And further that Council consider the biology 618 00:47:35,303 --> 00:47:39,848 appoint the members to the Joint Compliant audits committee. Any 619 00:47:39,848 --> 00:47:43,665 discussion regarding that resolution. We'll call the vote. 620 00:47:53,989 --> 00:47:58,924 That is carried. We are on to item 10. Notice 621 00:47:58,924 --> 00:48:02,124 of motion and new business. Councillor Van Wyck, would you 622 00:48:02,124 --> 00:48:08,444 like to address your motion? Uh, yeah. So as per 623 00:48:08,625 --> 00:48:11,724 the report for a couple of meetings ago, I had 624 00:48:11,724 --> 00:48:14,609 asked for this note's motion. Um, move myself seconded by 625 00:48:14,630 --> 00:48:17,089 Councillor Smith, the Council Direct staff to include in the 626 00:48:17,129 --> 00:48:20,923 proposed 2027 budget. The necessary funding and associate work with 627 00:48:20,944 --> 00:48:23,643 the development of a walking path that one stormwater management 628 00:48:23,744 --> 00:48:28,101 pond and tabostock, um, namely PON 5. And one storm 629 00:48:28,101 --> 00:48:31,461 management pawn and interkit for consideration driven 2026 budget deliberations. 630 00:48:33,326 --> 00:48:35,545 And to provide more context on this. Just this would 631 00:48:35,545 --> 00:48:38,985 be to allow public to use the current maintenance trail. 632 00:48:38,985 --> 00:48:40,345 I think PON 5 is just an out and back 633 00:48:40,385 --> 00:48:44,270 trail. Maintenance path. Um, so I'm not asking for it 634 00:48:44,310 --> 00:48:45,950 all the way around just to use the existing maintenance 635 00:48:46,051 --> 00:48:49,344 trail. And what that cost would take. Obviously be some 636 00:48:49,384 --> 00:48:52,552 planting of shrubs for a living wall. I'm assuming to 637 00:48:52,552 --> 00:48:54,872 be some signage, stuff like that. Um, and to bring 638 00:48:54,912 --> 00:48:59,152 that to the 2027 budget for deliberation on, could we 639 00:48:59,152 --> 00:49:01,992 make this happen? Um, like some neighboring municipalities have done. 640 00:49:04,299 --> 00:49:09,999 Thank you, Councillor Rand. Any questions for our mover. 641 00:49:16,734 --> 00:49:21,097 Councilor Rudy. Putting a walking path around her stormwater ponds, 642 00:49:21,097 --> 00:49:23,817 uh, is that contraven any of the regulations we have 643 00:49:23,857 --> 00:49:26,490 with fenced in ponds. I know we're doing it on 644 00:49:26,490 --> 00:49:29,210 the one on the northwest corner. There was a dry 645 00:49:29,250 --> 00:49:33,297 ponds. I don't know where ponton five is in Davistock. 646 00:49:34,453 --> 00:49:41,082 But. Yeah, so that the pawn in Tavistock would be, 647 00:49:41,082 --> 00:49:42,282 well, I guess there was two ponds we were looking 648 00:49:42,282 --> 00:49:43,482 at. We were looking at the brand new one in 649 00:49:43,522 --> 00:49:50,398 the Parkside subdivision. Sorry, not the parkside. Bridge. Yes. So 650 00:49:50,438 --> 00:49:51,678 we were looking at that one. We also look at 651 00:49:51,718 --> 00:49:55,451 the one on fourteenth line as well. Um. Anything else? 652 00:49:56,752 --> 00:49:59,031 Those were the two. Those are the main two. You 653 00:49:59,031 --> 00:50:01,371 got interkipped. Did the dry pond on yonker, but that 654 00:50:01,392 --> 00:50:05,314 one's a lot easier to sort of manage. Okay. Thank 655 00:50:05,314 --> 00:50:14,122 you. To also take counselors, read these question. The other 656 00:50:14,143 --> 00:50:17,082 point too with the, uh, wet pawns versus the Dry 657 00:50:17,103 --> 00:50:20,762 Ponds. We have talked to our municipal insurer. And that 658 00:50:20,762 --> 00:50:24,042 will be something that we'll have to consider if council 659 00:50:24,042 --> 00:50:25,962 wants to go ahead with this. Um, and we consider 660 00:50:26,063 --> 00:50:30,202 it in the 2027 budget. As there are insurance requirements 661 00:50:30,223 --> 00:50:33,242 around fencing a wet pond in terms of how close 662 00:50:33,423 --> 00:50:36,282 can the public get to it, um, for example, if 663 00:50:36,282 --> 00:50:38,522 a child was to fall into a wet pond and 664 00:50:38,562 --> 00:50:41,162 we haven't properly fenced or signed it, our insurance company 665 00:50:41,162 --> 00:50:43,702 has said we would not be covered for that. And 666 00:50:43,702 --> 00:50:47,002 we would be on our own for, um, liability in 667 00:50:47,002 --> 00:50:49,002 that case. So just something that council will need to 668 00:50:49,042 --> 00:50:51,402 consider when they go down that path in terms of 669 00:50:51,503 --> 00:50:53,722 what the fencing could look like, what the path would 670 00:50:53,762 --> 00:50:57,162 look like, et cetera. So something perhaps a flesh out 671 00:50:57,202 --> 00:51:02,945 further. Councillor Vawick. And I know I looked at the 672 00:51:02,985 --> 00:51:05,025 interior regulations on that as well. And it does say 673 00:51:05,046 --> 00:51:08,305 that a living fence is possible, um, when slope succeed 674 00:51:08,345 --> 00:51:11,105 a certain amount. So there is ways to do it. 675 00:51:11,105 --> 00:51:13,825 And neighboring with studies have done it. So obviously there'll 676 00:51:13,825 --> 00:51:17,127 be cost involved by what is that. There will be 677 00:51:17,127 --> 00:51:20,127 probably a living fence could be done instead of a, 678 00:51:20,127 --> 00:51:23,087 um, like a metal fence, for example. But then again, 679 00:51:23,127 --> 00:51:25,487 head walls where it's really steep. You might need fencing 680 00:51:25,527 --> 00:51:28,767 there permanent fencing, for example. So I understand there'll be 681 00:51:28,767 --> 00:51:30,847 some implications there, but they'll have to be considered to 682 00:51:30,948 --> 00:51:38,039 make it feasible as well. Um, in that sense. I'll 683 00:51:38,079 --> 00:51:40,759 just ask staff, uh, is staff clear with, uh, what 684 00:51:40,780 --> 00:51:43,239 we're looking for here. And is that something that can 685 00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:52,115 be. Done for the budget. We have our mover in 686 00:51:52,115 --> 00:51:56,115 seconder. We will, uh, get the resolution on the screen 687 00:51:56,456 --> 00:52:06,350 unless the other questions. Okay, the resolution 688 00:52:06,611 --> 00:52:08,430 is on your screen. It's been red. It's got a 689 00:52:08,430 --> 00:52:12,110 mover in seconder. Is there any discussion regarding that resolution. 690 00:52:15,037 --> 00:52:16,136 Not seeing any more call the vote. 691 00:52:44,656 --> 00:52:50,647 That is carried. We are on to item 11, uh, 692 00:52:50,848 --> 00:52:53,867 six items under Unfinished Business. Is there any questions for 693 00:52:54,288 --> 00:53:03,303 staff regarding. Those Unfinished items. I just have a quick 694 00:53:03,303 --> 00:53:08,288 one regarding, uh, item C 90 Lovey Street. With the, 695 00:53:08,288 --> 00:53:13,114 uh, tender process on that. When can we expect that? 696 00:53:19,307 --> 00:53:22,166 I'll jump in and then if anybody wants to throw 697 00:53:22,267 --> 00:53:26,406 in with me, um, we didn't initiate as council as 698 00:53:26,446 --> 00:53:28,646 aware the record of site commission processed with the ministry. 699 00:53:28,646 --> 00:53:32,406 We did receive feedback already on it. So we are 700 00:53:32,446 --> 00:53:36,406 holding off until we send in the additional information that 701 00:53:36,667 --> 00:53:40,309 the ministry has requested. So that we can make sure 702 00:53:40,330 --> 00:53:47,029 that the RSC process will be continuing before we actually 703 00:53:48,010 --> 00:53:52,066 list the property. We receive feedback. On that there was 704 00:53:52,106 --> 00:53:57,721 additional information required for our RRC report. And the consultant 705 00:53:57,761 --> 00:54:00,441 that we were using has provided that. So we're waiting 706 00:54:00,481 --> 00:54:05,801 for acknowledgement from the ministry that that information is acceptable. 707 00:54:05,801 --> 00:54:08,201 And then we'll be able to provide that report with 708 00:54:08,382 --> 00:54:13,648 the listing for the property. Thank you. Any other questions 709 00:54:13,749 --> 00:54:17,877 regarding it in the items? Deputy Mayor Smith. Are we 710 00:54:17,877 --> 00:54:22,812 still on timeline for our secondary plan. Coming forward? Has 711 00:54:22,812 --> 00:54:28,203 there been any update. Uh, so are we on time? 712 00:54:28,203 --> 00:54:30,568 Definitely not. Um, it should be here by the end 713 00:54:30,568 --> 00:54:32,608 of the year. Again, we have all the regular, we 714 00:54:32,608 --> 00:54:35,928 have all the required information. Um, we have everybody that 715 00:54:35,949 --> 00:54:40,140 was to review, has reviewed. Now, of course, the only 716 00:54:40,561 --> 00:54:43,978 hiccup now is we had a barn burned down. Last 717 00:54:44,079 --> 00:54:46,833 week. So I'm not sure if we need to update 718 00:54:46,854 --> 00:54:48,353 anything or if we can just kind of take that 719 00:54:48,454 --> 00:54:52,433 as information and just acknowledge that in the final report. 720 00:54:52,433 --> 00:54:55,393 So we're pretty close. We do hopefully we're optimistic. We'll 721 00:54:55,393 --> 00:55:02,112 get something by the end of the year. It's not 722 00:55:02,112 --> 00:55:08,156 a question. Back to be conferences and seminars. I did 723 00:55:08,196 --> 00:55:12,876 have the opportunity last month to represent this council at 724 00:55:12,916 --> 00:55:18,116 the annual AMO Conference in Ottawa. You organization that, of 725 00:55:18,116 --> 00:55:23,676 course, represents all 444 municipalities in Ontario. Did bring a 726 00:55:23,676 --> 00:55:27,916 new fangle to the keynote address this year. It's a 727 00:55:27,956 --> 00:55:32,076 live presentation of the popular podcast, the curse of politics. 728 00:55:33,373 --> 00:55:40,001 Show features four veteran strategists and back room operatives. That, 729 00:55:40,001 --> 00:55:43,681 uh, play in the political arena names that you would, 730 00:55:43,681 --> 00:55:48,481 uh, likely know hosted and moderated by David Hurley alongside 731 00:55:48,742 --> 00:55:54,641 regular television network news panelists. Scott Reed, Jordan Leachnitz and 732 00:55:54,742 --> 00:56:00,641 Corey Tonike. Unscripted, unfiltered and behind the scenes insights into 733 00:56:01,062 --> 00:56:07,121 the current Canadian political events, campaigns, public policy and the 734 00:56:07,302 --> 00:56:11,921 forces that affect them from beyond our borders. As you 735 00:56:11,921 --> 00:56:16,881 can well imagine, plenty of tariff trade and Trump talk 736 00:56:17,142 --> 00:56:21,281 in the hour - long special, including a more colorful 737 00:56:21,462 --> 00:56:26,161 brand of language than we normally hear. Appearances across the 738 00:56:26,201 --> 00:56:30,161 conference from Premier Doug Ford, Merritt Stiles, leader of the 739 00:56:30,182 --> 00:56:35,121 official opposition, interim liberal leader. John Fraser and the leader 740 00:56:35,121 --> 00:56:39,041 of the Green Party, Mike Schreiner, plenty of great plenary 741 00:56:39,302 --> 00:56:43,201 and concurrent programming that touched on everything from data centers 742 00:56:43,241 --> 00:56:51,421 to infrastructure deficits, local democracy, sovereignty, homelessness, housing, healthcare, uh, 743 00:56:51,782 --> 00:56:55,841 that list could go on. Uh, Reverberating takeaway, the fact 744 00:56:55,841 --> 00:57:01,041 that municipalities continue to be tasked with more than ever 745 00:57:01,081 --> 00:57:05,501 before, punching above their weight was the term that, uh, 746 00:57:05,782 --> 00:57:11,041 one expert used. That weight is getting heavier issues, more 747 00:57:11,041 --> 00:57:17,281 complex legislation continues to roll above us out at breaknet 748 00:57:17,382 --> 00:57:20,941 speed. I would say good value, good investment anytime. One 749 00:57:20,941 --> 00:57:25,201 can be exposed to thought leaders and sector specific experts 750 00:57:26,022 --> 00:57:30,241 in the municipal sphere. It's a masterclass to move you 751 00:57:30,281 --> 00:57:35,441 along the continuing learning continuum. So again, I'd like to 752 00:57:35,441 --> 00:57:41,521 thank Council for approving my participation and representation on its 753 00:57:41,561 --> 00:57:45,201 behalf and to staff for taking care of some of 754 00:57:45,462 --> 00:57:52,382 the logistics.
