Any Civic 65 01:16:57,060 --> 01:17:03,784 Petitions. Seeing none. Question period. I have two questions, please. 66 01:17:03,885 --> 01:17:10,150 Please go ahead. Thank you, interior chair. Um, as everybody 67 01:17:10,411 --> 01:17:13,970 has seen in the, uh, social media, I'm sure, uh, 68 01:17:14,171 --> 01:17:20,850 that Menelake has been seeing a infestation of rats. Uh, 69 01:17:21,051 --> 01:17:23,670 it has just now come to my attention that these 70 01:17:23,771 --> 01:17:28,678 rats are actually travelling through our sewer systems. And through 71 01:17:28,699 --> 01:17:32,038 our infrastructure on the ground. Uh, and then they're coming 72 01:17:32,078 --> 01:17:38,198 up, uh, in obviously, uh, into People's Yards and neighbourhoods, 73 01:17:38,198 --> 01:17:42,198 whatever. Tigrounds, that sort of stuff. Uh, playground's a municipal 74 01:17:42,198 --> 01:17:46,805 property. Um, so my question is, is what can staff 75 01:17:46,906 --> 01:17:53,365 do help, uh, alleviate this problem moving forward to you, 76 01:17:53,365 --> 01:17:59,871 chair. Thank you. Mr. Longston, I want us back on 77 01:17:59,911 --> 01:18:04,011 behalf of Bylaw. Through you, Mr. Chair, thank you. Um, 78 01:18:05,792 --> 01:18:10,731 there's really no municipal bylaw that controls, uh, rats at 79 01:18:10,832 --> 01:18:13,611 large. Um, if there are issues with respect to property 80 01:18:13,632 --> 01:18:17,291 standards, like waste or garbage that's out or things of 81 01:18:17,312 --> 01:18:20,251 that nature, if they've, uh, entered the home, then it 82 01:18:20,251 --> 01:18:22,571 becomes part of a property standards. But like a general 83 01:18:23,552 --> 01:18:26,091 rat issue is not something that we deal with under 84 01:18:27,632 --> 01:18:33,298 our current bylaws. I got to follow up from our 85 01:18:33,298 --> 01:18:37,746 CAO. Thank you through the mayor just to add to 86 01:18:37,786 --> 01:18:40,766 that. I mean, I've experienced this in another jurisdiction. And 87 01:18:40,766 --> 01:18:43,486 unfortunately it is an issue that sort of, you know, 88 01:18:44,167 --> 01:18:47,826 doesn't really fall under any particular area. Public health has 89 01:18:47,847 --> 01:18:54,386 a role with respect to, um, certain structures and rats 90 01:18:55,527 --> 01:18:59,406 infestations and the diseases that can come from rats, um, 91 01:18:59,406 --> 01:19:03,006 but doesn't have any kind of enforcement or measures. And 92 01:19:03,006 --> 01:19:06,146 as Mr. Longsen said, Bylaw doesn't have a specific issue. 93 01:19:06,146 --> 01:19:08,626 And so, um, we could certainly take a look and 94 01:19:08,666 --> 01:19:13,026 see what some other jurisdictions have done. Um, I can, 95 01:19:13,026 --> 01:19:18,866 I can share in a previous jurisdiction ultimately, an attempt 96 01:19:18,887 --> 01:19:23,826 at sort of an education program and some level of, 97 01:19:23,826 --> 01:19:27,506 um, grant program to assist some individuals, um, but that 98 01:19:27,506 --> 01:19:30,426 was funded by that, by the local municipality. So, I 99 01:19:30,426 --> 01:19:32,946 mean, those are things that we can look into. Certainly 100 01:19:32,946 --> 01:19:35,546 we're hearing the concerns, but right now, uh, I do 101 01:19:35,546 --> 01:19:38,146 have to say that it does sort of fall beneath 102 01:19:38,186 --> 01:19:40,866 the cracks of, uh, or between the cracks of the 103 01:19:40,887 --> 01:19:45,026 different, um, jurisdictions here. So, uh, would have to look 104 01:19:45,287 --> 01:19:49,346 to council to any direction beyond what staff have already 105 01:19:49,346 --> 01:19:51,907 done on this matter. Thank you. You have a second 106 01:19:51,947 --> 01:19:58,181 question, councillor. Yes. Um, my second question is, um, what 107 01:19:58,221 --> 01:20:01,461 the recent announcement now of WSI be closing all their 108 01:20:01,461 --> 01:20:05,341 offices, uh, throughout Northern Ontario, um, which is going to 109 01:20:05,341 --> 01:20:08,501 have an impact obviously here in Sudbury as we know 110 01:20:08,682 --> 01:20:11,201 136 jobs. I believe we're going to be lost. But 111 01:20:11,201 --> 01:20:16,261 we had recently had, um, gifted, uh, I believe it 112 01:20:16,261 --> 01:20:21,301 was 250 acres, uh, two WSIB for a new belt. 113 01:20:21,301 --> 01:20:23,981 I'm just trying to see how this is going to 114 01:20:24,202 --> 01:20:29,810 impact this moving forward to you chair. Thank you. Mr. 115 01:20:29,831 --> 01:20:33,570 Logson. Do you want to respond to this? Three, Mr. 116 01:20:33,591 --> 01:20:41,010 Chair. The landing question, as Council recall a mine rescue 117 01:20:41,050 --> 01:20:45,810 facility that will be operated by Ontario Mind Rescue, WSIB 118 01:20:45,831 --> 01:20:48,210 is the flow - through agency for that. I don't 119 01:20:48,231 --> 01:20:52,850 see a direct connection between the recent events in that 120 01:20:52,850 --> 01:20:57,117 particular project. Thank you. Any further, anybody else has questions 121 01:20:57,298 --> 01:21:02,252 for Christian Period. Seeing none. Morticion to adjourn. Moved by 122 01:21:02,292 --> 01:21:03,932 Councillor Benoit. All in favor.
