session. Councillor McIntosh, the rising report, please. Thank you, Mr.
Mayor. The Council of the City of Greater Subreametti closed
session to consider matters authorized under the municipal act and
described on today's public council agenda. In the continuing interest
of transparency and open government, I'm reporting in public session
on the outcomes from today's closed session meeting as follows.
Council received one verbal presentation with respect to an information
supplied in confidence by government, position, plan, or instruction to
be applied to negotiations item regarding the development charge, reduction
program in accordance with the Municipal Act 2001 paragraph 239
- 2HNK. Direction was given to staff with respect to
the matter in question. Thank you. So we'll get that
move by Council Laby. Sorry. So the, thank you, madam.
With respect to the bylaws, I'll get Council Abbey to
move, and I will second by long. Thank you, Mr.
Mayor, that the Citigroup Cyber Reed and Pass Byla 2026
- 169 to Bylaw 2026 - 170. All in favor.
You're everyone. That is carried. Are there any members'motions. Seeing
none. There is no addendum on the agenda. Any Civic
Petitions. Seeing none. Question period. I have two questions, please.
Please go ahead. Thank you, interior chair. Um, as everybody
has seen in the, uh, social media, I'm sure, uh,
that Menelake has been seeing a infestation of rats. Uh,
it has just now come to my attention that these
rats are actually travelling through our sewer systems. And through
our infrastructure on the ground. Uh, and then they're coming
up, uh, in obviously, uh, into People's Yards and neighbourhoods,
whatever. Tigrounds, that sort of stuff. Uh, playground's a municipal
property. Um, so my question is, is what can staff
do help, uh, alleviate this problem moving forward to you,
chair. Thank you. Mr. Longston, I want us back on
behalf of Bylaw. Through you, Mr. Chair, thank you. Um,
there's really no municipal bylaw that controls, uh, rats at
large. Um, if there are issues with respect to property
standards, like waste or garbage that's out or things of
that nature, if they've, uh, entered the home, then it
becomes part of a property standards. But like a general
rat issue is not something that we deal with under
our current bylaws. I got to follow up from our
CAO. Thank you through the mayor just to add to
that. I mean, I've experienced this in another jurisdiction. And
unfortunately it is an issue that sort of, you know,
doesn't really fall under any particular area. Public health has
a role with respect to, um, certain structures and rats
infestations and the diseases that can come from rats, um,
but doesn't have any kind of enforcement or measures. And
as Mr. Longsen said, Bylaw doesn't have a specific issue.
And so, um, we could certainly take a look and
see what some other jurisdictions have done. Um, I can,
I can share in a previous jurisdiction ultimately, an attempt
at sort of an education program and some level of,
um, grant program to assist some individuals, um, but that
was funded by that, by the local municipality. So, I
mean, those are things that we can look into. Certainly
we're hearing the concerns, but right now, uh, I do
have to say that it does sort of fall beneath
the cracks of, uh, or between the cracks of the
different, um, jurisdictions here. So, uh, would have to look
to council to any direction beyond what staff have already
done on this matter. Thank you. You have a second
question, councillor. Yes. Um, my second question is, um, what
the recent announcement now of WSI be closing all their
offices, uh, throughout Northern Ontario, um, which is going to
have an impact obviously here in Sudbury as we know
136 jobs. I believe we're going to be lost. But
we had recently had, um, gifted, uh, I believe it
was 250 acres, uh, two WSIB for a new belt.
I'm just trying to see how this is going to
impact this moving forward to you chair. Thank you. Mr.
Logson. Do you want to respond to this? Three, Mr.
Chair. The landing question, as Council recall a mine rescue
facility that will be operated by Ontario Mind Rescue, WSIB
is the flow - through agency for that. I don't
see a direct connection between the recent events in that
particular project. Thank you. Any further, anybody else has questions
for Christian Period. Seeing none. Morticion to adjourn. Moved by
Councillor Benoit. All in favor.
