Uh 1178 01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:02,880 certainly uh um I have personally taken 1179 01:13:01,440 --> 01:13:05,040 advantage of them which I've I've 1180 01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:07,199 cleared and and that and it does make a 1181 01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:08,960 difference. When we first did these, we 1182 01:13:07,199 --> 01:13:12,560 didn't know about that interest rates 1183 01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:14,560 were low. Uh, and certainly how big of 1184 01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:17,440 advantage was it to have zero like to to 1185 01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:19,679 get that 0% uh loan and then have that 1186 01:13:17,440 --> 01:13:22,320 come back to uh the grant. But as 1187 01:13:19,679 --> 01:13:23,920 interest rates rose, uh, you know, that 1188 01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:25,679 became a better and better deal and 1189 01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:27,280 we've seen a lot of, uh, people take 1190 01:13:25,679 --> 01:13:28,480 advantage of that in the downtown core 1191 01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:31,600 with their buildings and it's it's 1192 01:13:28,480 --> 01:13:33,520 certainly approved. But again, uh, you 1193 01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:35,360 know, to keep that going then we'll be 1194 01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:36,800 able to have better that way. and again 1195 01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:39,280 try to get those things done that uh 1196 01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:41,280 were part of that program uh and maybe 1197 01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:45,199 get rid of some of the ones that haven't 1198 01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:48,000 haven't fixed. So further discussion 1199 01:13:45,199 --> 01:13:51,000 all those in favor opposed that is 1200 01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:51,000 carried. 1201 01:13:51,679 --> 01:14:01,040 All right, that does conclude that. Um 1202 01:13:55,520 --> 01:14:03,679 so I will go to uh Mr. Grace for OP01526 1203 01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:05,840 for our village on Clare Creek. Thank 1204 01:14:03,679 --> 01:14:07,360 you. As our director of infrastructure 1205 01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:09,440 and development is away, I'll take this 1206 01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:11,199 one today. Uh, as council's aware, 1207 01:14:09,440 --> 01:14:12,640 sometimes developers are not quite at 1208 01:14:11,199 --> 01:14:15,199 the process to have their subdivision 1209 01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:17,920 agreement approved and so they would 1210 01:14:15,199 --> 01:14:19,600 like to capitalize on the weather and to 1211 01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:21,760 doing construction. So, they enter into 1212 01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:24,239 a pre-ervicing agreement. Whenever they 1213 01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:26,080 enter into this kind of agreement, it is 1214 01:14:24,239 --> 01:14:27,600 at their own risk, but they are trying 1215 01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:29,679 to build it to the standard that will 1216 01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:31,199 eventually be adopted. So, they have to 1217 01:14:29,679 --> 01:14:32,880 comply with that. One of the main ways 1218 01:14:31,199 --> 01:14:35,520 that we ensure that they are in 1219 01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:37,679 compliance is to take a large amount of 1220 01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:40,000 security for this. And this individual, 1221 01:14:37,679 --> 01:14:42,320 this particular pre-service agreement 1222 01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:44,719 has a large number attached to it for 1223 01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:46,560 security. Uh because they are willing to 1224 01:14:44,719 --> 01:14:48,320 do that, staff are willing to agree to 1225 01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:51,840 the pre-ervicing agreement and so we're 1226 01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:53,520 recommending that council adopt that. 1227 01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:55,679 » Thanks very much.

The question I have is 1381 01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:15,600 there's a lot of um projects here that 1382 01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:18,480 are in progress, but I see that the 1383 01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:20,080 budget is very it's quite high and then 1384 01:22:18,480 --> 01:22:21,520 the expenses are quite low. Is it 1385 01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:23,199 because of the season we're in and most 1386 01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:26,080 of it will be spent towards the end of 1387 01:22:23,199 --> 01:22:27,760 the year because there's no percentage 1388 01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:30,239 of progress here. I don't know if it's 1389 01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:33,120 up to halfway finished or just starting 1390 01:22:30,239 --> 01:22:35,679 for it to be such a significant gap in 1391 01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:38,159 August for something that we've budgeted 1392 01:22:35,679 --> 01:22:40,400 for. So I just want to 1393 01:22:38,159 --> 01:22:43,840 » Um well each project will have to be 1394 01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:47,440 reviewed individually. So, but overall 1395 01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:50,000 um I know that some of the projects 1396 01:22:47,440 --> 01:22:52,320 tended came under budget. So, that could 1397 01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:55,120 be a contributing factor, but a lot of 1398 01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:57,520 the activity is in the middle like we 1399 01:22:55,120 --> 01:23:00,239 are in the midst of construction and 1400 01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:03,679 typically invoices come once the 1401 01:23:00,239 --> 01:23:08,400 project's complete and we we tend to see 1402 01:23:03,679 --> 01:23:10,159 them at the yeah the end of the year. 1403 01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:11,920 » I just I was going to say something 1404 01:23:10,159 --> 01:23:14,239 similar. A lot is due to seasonality, 1405 01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:16,320 but we have had good success with 1406 01:23:14,239 --> 01:23:18,639 tendering uh because of the timing when 1407 01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:20,159 council approves the capital budget. We 1408 01:23:18,639 --> 01:23:21,679 have had good success with going out 1409 01:23:20,159 --> 01:23:23,679 early and getting our tenders in. So, 1410 01:23:21,679 --> 01:23:25,760 that bodess well for us, but we never 1411 01:23:23,679 --> 01:23:27,280 really know when the uh these types of 1412 01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:28,639 capital projects until the end of the 1413 01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:30,960 season because a lot of those bills do 1414 01:23:28,639 --> 01:23:32,960 tend to come in towards the end. So, at 1415 01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:35,520 this point, always halfway through the 1416 01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:36,880 year, it's a little hard to read, but 1417 01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:40,032 has done the best job she can to say, 1418 01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:40,032 "Here's where we're at.

Um the clerk was able 1659 01:43:52,239 --> 01:43:56,080 to attend, Mayor Petri was able to 1660 01:43:54,000 --> 01:43:58,880 attend. And I think something that 1661 01:43:56,080 --> 01:44:02,400 surprised the committee was how much it 1662 01:43:58,880 --> 01:44:04,400 meant to um indigenous residents to get 1663 01:44:02,400 --> 01:44:06,480 to attend a ceremony like this without 1664 01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:08,960 having to leave their community. Because 1665 01:44:06,480 --> 01:44:10,560 I think when we wanted to put this 1666 01:44:08,960 --> 01:44:12,239 together, we were obviously hoping, you 1667 01:44:10,560 --> 01:44:13,760 know, education, opportunity to learn, 1668 01:44:12,239 --> 01:44:16,159 all of those things, which certainly 1669 01:44:13,760 --> 01:44:18,239 happened. Um but we really um 1670 01:44:16,159 --> 01:44:20,719 underestimated how important this was to 1671 01:44:18,239 --> 01:44:23,920 indigenous residents. So that is kind of 1672 01:44:20,719 --> 01:44:26,239 where the consistency came from. Um but 1673 01:44:23,920 --> 01:44:28,400 building it into the budget process 1674 01:44:26,239 --> 01:44:31,360 makes more sense at this point. Um so 1675 01:44:28,400 --> 01:44:34,159 that it can be considered you know twice 1676 01:44:31,360 --> 01:44:36,159 a year every year um at the time that 1677 01:44:34,159 --> 01:44:37,520 the budget's considered. So those are my 1678 01:44:36,159 --> 01:44:39,040 thoughts. 1679 01:44:37,520 --> 01:44:41,679 » Thank you much further discussion.

Um, so this was nice to see it 1903 01:53:29,360 --> 01:53:32,960 come back in a way that others are 1904 01:53:31,040 --> 01:53:34,880 exploring it and like you said it's for 1905 01:53:32,960 --> 01:53:37,920 staff to take a look at it because I 1906 01:53:34,880 --> 01:53:40,320 mean we are doing a wellrounded job now 1907 01:53:37,920 --> 01:53:42,400 maybe with the CIP where our downtown 1908 01:53:40,320 --> 01:53:44,159 looks nice and it's been occupied more 1909 01:53:42,400 --> 01:53:47,199 but I remember at the time I came here 1910 01:53:44,159 --> 01:53:48,560 it was just everywhere was empty and it 1911 01:53:47,199 --> 01:53:50,320 didn't look good and I remember even 1912 01:53:48,560 --> 01:53:52,960 Woodstock struggling to get people to go 1913 01:53:50,320 --> 01:53:56,320 back in there.

And I think a lot of 2099 02:01:14,800 --> 02:01:18,400 those other decisions that we get to 2100 02:01:16,239 --> 02:01:19,679 make, we we we are elected a body and 2101 02:01:18,400 --> 02:01:23,199 that doesn't mean we have to make always 2102 02:01:19,679 --> 02:01:24,639 good decisions. Uh, but certainly uh 2103 02:01:23,199 --> 02:01:25,920 those are decisions that people elected 2104 02:01:24,639 --> 02:01:27,760 us to make and I think that has to be 2105 02:01:25,920 --> 02:01:30,320 respected. I don't think it is as much 2106 02:01:27,760 --> 02:01:31,760 anymore. And and we've seen that uh when 2107 02:01:30,320 --> 02:01:33,119 the the the item that you're referring 2108 02:01:31,760 --> 02:01:36,239 to is that we didn't get to make a 2109 02:01:33,119 --> 02:01:38,000 decision on that. It was appealed uh 2110 02:01:36,239 --> 02:01:40,480 before we got to do that, which is which 2111 02:01:38,000 --> 02:01:42,000 is not right. Uh to me, I think the OLT 2112 02:01:40,480 --> 02:01:44,480 should have sent that back for a 2113 02:01:42,000 --> 02:01:47,360 decision. Um and so I certainly support 2114 02:01:44,480 --> 02:01:51,920 this because it is uh you need balance 2115 02:01:47,360 --> 02:01:54,239 and we've lost that local uh those um 2116 02:01:51,920 --> 02:01:56,080 you know we if we go through a process 2117 02:01:54,239 --> 02:01:57,760 we set an official plan we set our 2118 02:01:56,080 --> 02:01:59,199 zoning and all that stuff that should 2119 02:01:57,760 --> 02:02:02,639 mean something and it doesn't seem to 2120 02:01:59,199 --> 02:02:05,440 mean anything anymore. Even right now, 2121 02:02:02,639 --> 02:02:08,159 you could have a private entity 2122 02:02:05,440 --> 02:02:11,040 appeal to the OOLT to bring land with is 2123 02:02:08,159 --> 02:02:12,880 outside the settlement boundary in 2124 02:02:11,040 --> 02:02:14,800 with no plans for the municipality to do 2125 02:02:12,880 --> 02:02:16,880 so. And who gets to pay for that in the 2126 02:02:14,800 --> 02:02:18,719 end? We do. So there's there's got to be 2127 02:02:16,880 --> 02:02:20,000 more balance there. That's not the plan 2128 02:02:18,719 --> 02:02:23,119 that process that should be happen. So 2129 02:02:20,000 --> 02:02:26,000 fully support you on this one. 2130 02:02:23,119 --> 02:02:28,880 Further discussion? All those in favor? 2131 02:02:26,000 --> 02:02:31,280 Opposed?
