[2:15:20] or CCASK Construction Code Authority

what based on
[2:15:31] » uh the daycare
>> plan review of the daycare.
[2:15:35] » Yeah.
>> Yeah. So, it's quite a quite an
[2:15:38] intricate building.
>> Okay.
[2:15:40] » So,
>> okay. No,
[2:15:42] » that's what that was based off just the
one. I was just curious because it
[2:15:44] didn't have any other anything else
associated with it. If it was a rink
[2:15:48] inspection or fire hall or what I wasn't
sure
[2:15:51] » so we we bill out accordingly so we will
recoup all that money back.
[2:15:54] » Well, that will be coming back.
>> Yeah.
[2:15:56] » Okay. No, that's all I had. Mr. Mayor.
>> Okay. Anybody else before me?
[2:16:03] Go ahead.
>> I just noticed this. I'll direct this
[2:16:06] towards Marty. I noticed um we have
three payments totaling about 18,800
[2:16:13] bucks for um computer
management upgrades whatever central
[2:16:19] square Canada software 2 5200 IT
supportJS and 11,500 PSD citywide ink um
[2:16:28] is this is this kind of the norm like
these are these are all um verified
[2:16:34] necessities or just the cost of doing
business when it comes to computers.
[2:16:39] » Yes. The only one that isn't so citywide
is uh one of our annual costs and it
[2:16:45] provides us with training documents and
work orders.
[2:16:48] » Yes.
>> Um so that's how we work orders. Um
[2:16:52] » the one that isn't every year will be
that one you mentioned, Central Square.
[2:16:57] So we've had we've been having an issue
with a VAM. nuts vom and uh some behind
[2:17:04] the scenes work where we're sending out
e billills and things like that they
[2:17:07] used to take a little bit of time are
now taking hours to actually produce so
[2:17:11] we had to spend this extra money for
them to work techwise in the background
[2:17:16] to help solve that issue so that'll be a
one-off bill that we hopefully won't see
[2:17:20] for years
>> yeah no that's the only deal I'm just
[2:17:24] » confirming that these are all things
that I mean are unavoidable or
[2:17:28] » or legitimate expenses because it just
seems like the cost of
[2:17:32] » computers throughout the year definitely
adds up like
[2:17:35] » you know the upgrades software of course
>> the hardware the whole 9 yard thank you
[2:17:43] » it
good
[2:17:47] yep good
>> yeah I'm good
[2:17:48] » okay um I had a question about the the
the top two the expenses for Zest of the
[2:17:55] West
>> um are we just kind of fronting
[2:17:59] We're the holding account for the rest
of the west. So in'll go through that,
[2:18:03] » right?
>> That's good. And then
[2:18:09] aquafer
[2:18:12] uh group of companies for repairs and
maintenance on the rink.
[2:18:19] » That was a Ben thing. I don't know
specifically.
[2:18:24] » 3750.
Just wondering if that's just a kind of
[2:18:28] a oneoff thing.
>> Oh, okay. Um, it is a one-off thing. It
[2:18:33] is something that um it is the water.
It's for the curly drink and Aqua Bird.
[2:18:41] They have a water fountain that hasn't
been working for quite a long time.
[2:18:44] » Oh, that.
>> So, this is the replacement of of that
[2:18:47] water. Um, so it's where you can
actually put a bottle in.
[2:18:51] » So, it was the old school one where you
push
[2:18:53] » Okay.
>> And you go down. It hasn't worked for a
[2:18:55] long time. This is the replacement to
the new modern style and we'll have our
[2:19:00] own staff install it.
>> Okay. And then the next one is flash
[2:19:05] management for sports grounds materials.
2300.
[2:19:11] » I just never saw flash management
before. I just wondered what kind of
[2:19:16] supplies those were and
where that's out of. It's
[2:19:22] um it looks like it's for the baseball
diamonds. marking chalk and a 6x6 steel
[2:19:28] drag mat.
>> Okay.
[2:19:32] » Athletic field chalk.
>> And what's the breakdown of those two
[2:19:36] items?
>> Um the drag mat is $620.
[2:19:41] And then we got a quantity I'm guessing
60 either bags of the Oh yeah. 50 lb
[2:19:48] bags of field marking chalk.
>> Yeah.
[2:19:50] » Which is the bulk at,37
total.
[2:19:53] » Yeah. the bank there.
>> Okay. And then I'm done.
[2:20:00] » Do you want to jump in?
>> I was just going to ask in correlation
[2:20:03] to that. So is that supplier is that the
same one that we've been using for years
[2:20:07] out of Minster?
>> I believe it is. Yes.
[2:20:13] » Okay. And then the next one is
[2:20:18] uh Imaginate Technologies
>> that is
[2:20:24] » three grand.
>> Yeah, that is uh our AutoCAD license for
[2:20:28] the year. So we get AutoCAD simple 3D um
engineering tools like that. Uh we have
[2:20:35] one permanent seat and then two
temporary seats uh for summer students
[2:20:39] in the summer.
>> Okay. And the one below it, bylaw
[2:20:42] signage. What what are we what did we
add for or did we replace or
[2:20:49] » uh I know she was adding one.
It was by McDonald's for trucks.
[2:20:55] » Okay.
>> Um we only had certain signs going one
[2:20:58] way, not east and west. We only had one
I think going west, not east.
[2:21:03] » I don't know if it'll say
>> Oh, it's just I didn't fail.
[2:21:05] » I believe this one is actually four. Uh
>> oh, okay. And then she added Okay. Okay.
[2:21:11] And then she added at the pound. So,
>> okay.
[2:21:14] » A sign do not Yeah. video surveillance
at the pound and then please do not feed
[2:21:20] the animals.
>> Yeah. Like it's what is it? 661 bucks.
[2:21:23] So, it just seemed a little
>> Yeah.
[2:21:25] » a little excessive, but knowing what it
is now.
[2:21:28] » And I will note when we get to the
budget uh for this year, you will see a
[2:21:32] lot you will see more in signage. We're
we're updating faded signs. We're doing
[2:21:37] a good improvement of
>> all. We have signs that are missing.
[2:21:41] » Yeah.
>> In various areas. So, you will see uh
[2:21:44] some attention to to definitely the
signs and what's going on.
[2:21:49] » And then JNS Computer Solutions at 5200
is that a
[2:21:55] » quarterly.
>> It's it's uh
[2:21:59] the bulk majority of that bill is our
annual maintenance on on the website
[2:22:04] cost. um the bulk majority of that. We
can get the breakdown for you on that
[2:22:09] one.
>> I don't see
[2:22:10] » uh No, that's fine. I just wanted to
make sure that there was a bunch of
[2:22:14] things included, not just
>> Oh, yeah. There's a lot included in that
[2:22:17] one.
The bulk majority of it though is the
[2:22:21] hosting of the email, the website, not
>> that's Merlin.
[2:22:26] It's Yeah, that would be on the Merlin
bill. What you're saying,
[2:22:29] » right?
So this would be like IT services for
[2:22:34] each department recently.

looking um at used ones like a fisher
[2:24:16] pole kind of special that they could
bring in.

Central event center pool, Norman
[2:24:58] Richie, vending water machine. It
there's a lot of tech work that goes
[2:25:02] into all the departments.
>> So, what we did in this year's budget is
[2:25:05] we added a specific IT expense. So,
you'll easily be able to see and we'll
[2:25:10] be able to track a lot better.
>> But that's what the the JS4 is broken
[2:25:14] out in all the departments for the hours
put in.
[2:25:17] » But now we'll be tracking it better on
our actual financial statements.

and they also fixed a rear rear door
[2:25:32] regulator handle.
>> Oh, okay.
[2:25:34] » Cuz yeah, 800 bucks for a seat seemed
