[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
[6:28] savings where I remember the name
[6:30] >> the reserves but because of that
[6:33] » the reserves but because of that
[6:33] >> it's the same with us that's why we
[6:34] » it's the same with us that's why we
[6:34] increased the tax 11% because so many
[6:36] years that wasn't we had
[6:38] I agree with you. We voted against it
[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
[6:46] we can't
[6:48] basically
[6:50] be on file at least."
[6:51] >> Well, at least put them on notice.
[6:53] » Well, at least put them on notice.

[7:03] » It's just next year and the year after
[7:03] are they going to keep on coming with a
[7:05] 10% dog? I can't answer that. I don't
[7:07] think it' be 10% but it's an increase
[7:09] every year.
[7:12] >> And I did bring I did bring up they're
[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
[7:32] pretty quick know.
[7:34] >> So had a response quick. Hey,
[7:36] » So had a response quick. Hey,

[7:39] » Oh, absolutely. So, how do you think
[7:39] we're going to we're going to move on to
[7:41] SAP other communities? And anyway, I
[7:43] just threw that say, listen, not
[7:45] everybody's attendance, but it is
[7:50] >> that's all. It's one of the reasons Tims
[7:52] » that's all. It's one of the reasons Tims
[7:52] can't on the on the on the
[7:54] increase on the cost of the cost. They
[7:56] get all the benefits, too. they have
[7:57] that population increase because all
[7:59] those employees, you know, they're all

[14:47] >> so maybe maybe for future just to make
[14:49] » so maybe maybe for future just to make

[15:03] after it.
[15:04] >> So that makes it pretty
[15:06] » So that makes it pretty
[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
[15:17] everything we do here. I mean around the
[15:19] rental of the the auditorium, around the
[15:22] rental of uh more hall, everything that
[15:24] that we do, whether it's chairs, tables,
[15:26] all these things, there's a policy there
[15:28] and it makes it really easy for staff to
[15:30] say, "Yeah, okay, this is what it is."
[15:31] Yeah.
[15:32] >> Um and I think we should have something
[15:33] » 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
[15:44] called a resource center where we had
[15:46] all our events equipment available
[15:49] >> for rent
[15:49] » for rent
[15:49] >> and it was a rental at the time.
[15:52] » and it was a rental at the time.
[15:52] >> Um and it's not a bad idea. It's just a
[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
[16:35] there when they pick it up and then the
[16:37] town employee when they drop it off,
[16:39] right?
[16:39] >> Absolutely. pick it up during the day
[16:41] » Absolutely. pick it up during the day
[16:42] when we're in our operating hours since
[16:44] someone's going to
[16:46] >> log what they're taking out and then
[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
[17:10] doors policy other than rentals of halls
[17:16] but yeah non forprofit normally
[17:18] typically we apply a discounted rate and
[17:22] for profit as a full rate
[17:24] >> and and just so that we fully understand
[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
[18:18] donations. They're recorded as a
[18:21] >> as a donation
[18:22] » as a donation
[18:22] >> like monetarily.
[18:29] Uh
[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
[18:40] program for the Don Don Buso pool and
[18:43] then originally budgeted allocation of
[18:45] approximately $6,000 for the purchase of
[18:47] a new lint trap be redirected toward a
[18:50] comprehens comprehensive state of good
[18:52] repair assessment to be completed by
[18:55] aquatic associates. Staff believe that
[18:57] obtaining the detailed assessment for
[18:59] the pool shel mechanical system
[19:02] filtration equipment in overall pool
[19:03] condition prior to the undertaking
