[0:03] as always

[0:20] for a while.

[0:36] something.

[0:48] I had to go back to

[0:56] » Okay, please stand.

[0:59] [clears throat]

[2:38] We acknowledge and our honor to be on

[2:40] the land of the most free people. This

[2:42] territory is covered by treaty 9 that

[2:44] was made and helped to build this

[2:45] community. We recognize the history of

[2:47] this land and its original stewards and

[2:50] we commit to learning from them and

[2:51] working towards reconciliation.

[3:12] Please also note that this meeting is

[3:14] being live streamed. The content may be

[3:16] subject to copyright protection.

[3:25] You have a motion to approve the agenda

[3:28] by council by council that the agenda

[3:33] >> favored

[3:36] declaration of community interest.

[3:39] Seeing none committee the whole reports

[3:41] we'll start with the finance president.

[3:44] Um, first item for cost statements of

[3:47] June the 30th, 2026. The attached cost

[3:50] statements provide a snapshot of service

[3:53] as of June the 30th, 2026.

[3:56] Um, the numbers are all there, but this

[3:58] is June the 30th. So, I mean, everything

[4:02] looks all right. Any questions?

[4:06] Hearing none, we'll go to the next one

[4:07] for taxes.

[4:09] Also as of June the 30th that council

[4:12] was provided with tax with property tax

[4:16] report as of June the 30th for

[4:18] information. Um everyone everything's

[4:20] pretty well in line a little bit high

[4:22] but it fluctuates off and on. I think

[4:26] the real ones will be the ones at top

[4:28] will be gorgeous in the bigger. We know

[4:31] if that's getting better or not. Uh

[4:33] well, it has actually increased from the

[4:35] last quarter because now we have our

[4:36] final bills that uh have come out, but

[4:39] we're anticipating for sure that it's

[4:40] going to go down again.

[4:44] Any questions on the taxes? Okay. The

[4:48] next item is information of 2026

[4:51] Northeast Public Health Requisition

[4:54] providing council with an update

[4:56] regarding the 2026 Northeastern public

[4:59] health municipal level for information.

[5:03] Um,

[5:04] we could go through all that, but it's

[5:06] um I'm a little bit disappointed that

[5:10] that it's a high percentage and I think

[5:12] we should send them a letter expressing

[5:15] our disappointment with that and ask

[5:19] them for what like we amalgamating the

[5:24] two was supposed to create synergies

[5:27] doesn't seem to have happened and

[5:29] increased expenses. I I always skat I

[5:32] think there was three of us who voted

[5:33] against it. The rest all voted for it

[5:35] >> with no questions asked.

[5:37] » with no questions asked.

[5:37] >> Um when they voted for it because

[5:39] » Um when they voted for it because

[5:39] they're they're saying that the other

[5:40] district is paying much more than we

[5:42] are. Um and the synergies is not a it's

[5:45] not a cost efficiency thing. It's more

[5:47] of a service thing. So they never said

[5:49] it would save much money. But I we voted

[5:53] myself Michelle and their attendance and

[5:57] >> uh Mr. do premium. We voted against it

[6:00] » uh Mr. do premium. We voted against it

[6:00] and everybody else. So we were outvoted

[6:02] um in the majority just said that

[6:04] because if we didn't do that this year

[6:05] we even hired next year and one year

[6:07] after that. So we have to

[6:09] >> I think we have expressive kind of embed

[6:12] » I think we have expressive kind of embed

[6:12] something in their policies that they

[6:14] don't do that year after year done 10%

[6:17] this year they would have did 15% next

[6:19] year but they still had an intentional

[6:21] >> well it's because two years ago we said

[6:23] » well it's because two years ago we said

[6:23] we had um two or three years ago we had

[6:25] total to go through the um um our

[6:36] years that wasn't we had

[6:40] and let it went through.

[6:41] >> Thing is that I think you might uh you

[6:43] » Thing is that I think you might uh you

[6:43] might be right in that we should

[6:44] probably send a letter saying, "Hey, but

[6:50] be on file at least."

[7:14] » And I did bring I did bring up they're

[7:14] building a new pork health unit in Tim.

[7:17] And I did ask a question. I was a little

[7:19] late to the game. I said why are we

[7:20] building this in Timonss not anywhere

[7:22] else? So some of the other councils were

[7:24] yeah because it's going to be like a $10

[7:26] million project. I said it could be a

[7:28] lot of empty buildings in other

[7:29] municipalities. But then I had some

[15:06] >> Yeah. for this. put in the in the

[15:08] » Yeah. for this. put in the in the

[15:08] future.

[15:09] >> But but on the same time, we provide

[15:11] » But but on the same time, we provide

[15:11] people like the other one to run that

[15:13] doing we're providing people, you know.

[15:15] >> Well, we have we have policies around

[15:17] » Well, we have we have policies around

[15:24] that we do, whether it's chairs, tables,

[15:26] all these things, there's a policy there

[15:32] >> Um and I think we should have something

[15:33] similar to that because you know as we

[15:35] go and we you know we lose three we lose

[15:38] two we lose replace it. So you

[15:41] >> we used to years and years ago it was

[15:44] » we used to years and years ago it was

[15:56] » Um and it's not a bad idea. It's just a

[15:56] more resources to you know follow up and

[15:59] duty in stuff like that. But it's it's a

[16:01] good idea to have a policy or an

[16:03] administrative policy so that we don't

[16:05] have to bring these requests forward is

[16:07] that we can just manage it before

[16:10] bringing it to council.

[16:11] >> And you know what's really good about a

[16:13] » And you know what's really good about a

[16:13] festival like this is that there's

[16:14] there's someone else doing it. It's not

[16:16] the town of Case and and there should be

[16:18] a lot more people that are you know

[16:19] organizing events like that. We should

[16:21] be trying to encourage it, but we should

[16:22] have some sort of guidance when when it

[16:24] comes to long as we don't lose it or

[16:26] they don't it comes back.

[16:27] >> That's right. That you replenish. Yeah,

[16:29] » That's right. That you replenish. Yeah,

[16:29] that's right. Either you replenish

[16:31] inventory based on what you're lending

[16:33] them.

[16:34] >> But there's going to be a town employee

[16:35] » But there's going to be a town employee

[16:47] » log what they're taking out and then

[16:47] when they're bringing it back inspect

[16:49] the equipment log it back in

[16:53] >> in the policy significance we do a

[16:55] » in the policy significance we do a

[16:55] forprofit organization requesting in the

[16:57] nonforprofit

[16:58] >> well when you're looking at our

[17:00] » well when you're looking at our

[17:00] donations policy yeah we we do define

[17:03] non for not forprofit and

[17:06] for

[17:07] >> we don't do donations typically but I

[17:09] » we don't do donations typically but I

[17:09] mean it's very ated what we have in our

[17:27] » and and just so that we fully understand

[17:27] uh we have companies in town that rent

[17:29] fence it so the other thing is we don't

[17:32] want to compete with the businesses who

[17:34] do rent fencing right so Cooper uh does

[17:37] rent fencing at $5

[17:39] section uh per day. And so, you know,

[17:43] just keep that in mind when we're

[17:45] developing a policy for for profit that

[17:48] you know,

[17:49] >> what we can do is we can look at our

[17:50] » what we can do is we can look at our

[17:50] donations policy that currently exists

[17:53] and the previous resource center rental

[17:56] uh procedures and agreements and see how

[17:59] what that can look like and bring it

[18:01] back to council.

[18:03] her proposal to adopt a new policy

[18:06] >> and and also maybe look at what inind

[18:09] » and and also maybe look at what inind

[18:09] represents because if you're asking for

[18:10] an inind donation then there's there's a

[18:13] value to that as well.

[18:15] >> Yeah.

[18:16] » Yeah.

[18:16] Any other

[18:17] >> and those are recorded in kind

[18:18] » and those are recorded in kind

[18:30] next item is a request to reallocate

[18:34] minor capital funding for the Don Brusso

[18:36] pool. The council received this report

[18:38] to approve change in 2026 minor capital
