[3:11]
now and
[3:18]
see uh this is from Pro fencing and

[3:27]
um description removal of P Stone spread
top soil 4 in and placement the field
[3:34]
solids for the dog

[3:41]
28,33 180 this is what was that figure

24612 uh taxes
[4:12]
$3,691 180 for a total of
[4:19]
8,338 it's the only RFP we had come
back
[4:24]
um um like I said it was eight or nine
that was sent out but was the only one
[4:30]
that got back
so and it will be part of a CIP for gas
[4:36]
tax gas this will be paid for if
accepted or if granted will be paid for
[4:42]
through our gas Tec funds CIP funds any
idea how quickly they're able to do with
[4:46]
if we decide to go with it because I
know a lot of the residents have been
[4:49]
asking about the old dog park and and I
I can inquire the last two rfps that
[4:55]
went through uh one of them being
contract that was awarded to that
[4:58]
company was within a couple of weeks be
nice to see happen there there usually
[5:04]
is at least a two to three week turn
around through gas act Secretariat for
[5:07]
the approvals and then the terms can be
set by the town afterwards for okay comp
[5:13]
completion
dates okay so that's the RFP that we
[5:17]
received um if someone want to put a
motion we have to have a motion have a
[5:22]
resolution resolution resolution as part
of a gas
[5:26]
tax so who will bring forth the I would
recommend that we proceed with awarding
[5:33]
thep for the work
on
[5:38]
okay work to Pro fencing and excavation
right y second it okay so motion was
[5:44]
brought forward by councelor Derek house
it was second by councelor bran house
[5:48]
any further
discussion all in favor I
[5:53]
opposed motion
carry um next one I is is for Pinacle
[6:01]
RFP website and it support and I'm going
to ask our Deputy Mayor to speak on that
[6:08]
uh myself and the town manager got
together a number of months ago and did
[6:14]
up a bit of a perspective actually on
some of the services that we uh would
[6:19]
like to see in house and some of the
some of the things that we would like to
[6:24]
see done with our media that we
currently have in place so we we drew up
[6:30]
a list of requirements that we would
like to see and it included U some of
[6:37]
the uh protection of the devices we have
here storage cloud storage encryption
[6:45]
for some of the machines we have here a
remap of our
[6:49]
website and a host of other items that
we we felt was necessary one primary uh
[6:56]
was Callin support so the ability to for
the town staff if they have a problem to
[7:00]
contact at a moment's notice and get a
response from a Heth desk within a
[7:06]
period of time a short period of time so
we as we said we did up a prospectus and
[7:12]
we sent it to how many three different
companies and two two of the companies
[7:18]
indicated they weren't interested in
participating in the request for
[7:22]
proposals and we had a response for one
so the company that responded was
[7:28]
Pinnacle Office Solution in St John's
and they sent back a proposal that was
[7:34]
fairly wide
ranging and again myself and the town
[7:39]
manager and the representative for
Pinnacle have met a couple of times
[7:43]
three I think in total and we've sifted
through a fair amount of resources that
[7:49]
they put forward really not necessary
for the town more geared towards a you
[7:54]
know somebody or group that has a lot
more infrastructure number one uh do
[7:59]
their own
onsite
[8:03]
U uh
Services I can show you the actually I
[8:08]
think we did send the item didn't we or
did
[8:12]
we have cop we have a copy so we we've
gone through it and we've selected uh
[8:18]
what we thought for now uh would be
beneficial to us so the first is a
[8:23]
website design and that involves working
with the company to develop a or revamp
[8:30]
the website that we have uh with a fair
degree of consultation between the
[8:36]
council and other members uh to to
determine exactly what it is we want to
[8:42]
see so how the look and feel of it the
types of pages that we want to see in
[8:46]
place as an example they are able to put
uh they are able to put
[8:52]
Financial Services on a page so that if
we have taxpayers that want to pay their
[8:57]
taxes we can actually do direct deposits
through the web page it'll put it right
[9:01]
into her accounts issue receipts etc etc
so that that's there rather than have to
[9:06]
email go through a whole sifting process
that that we currently do um we looked
[9:15]
at uh well they're going to do hosting
of course if they're if they're
[9:19]
developing a website they'll host our
domain as well cloud backup services so
[9:24]
we're looking at a fee for service to
take any data we have here on our
[9:28]
service and we we have two servers that
currently run here the one that runs Our
[9:31]
Town suite for our office plus the water
management system they will do backup
[9:36]
services for both of those servers and
any devices that we have inside uh so
[9:42]
all data will be stored in the cloud
with redundant backup so there will be
[9:47]
backup and then backup of the backup so
if anything ever fails or we lose their
[9:51]
systems or gets corrupted or whatever
the case may be we'll have recovery or
[9:55]
Recovery Services or uh we have we're
looking at security vulnerability
[10:01]
management and that would be for the
users here so looking at ways that uh
[10:08]
anything that they do on their systems
they might be vulnerable to attacks so
[10:11]
external attack or ransomware viruses
spam etc etc they'll they'll handle and
[10:18]
filter that uh and we're also looking at
encryption so anything that be have here
[10:23]
will have an encryption applied to or
secure encryption applied to anything we
[10:28]
send and receive through our systems
here so that the chances of pcking into
[10:33]
it or getting into that data
is never say non-existent but it'll be
[10:39]
slim or Slimmer and last but not least
we're looking at a time block for pardon
[10:44]
me for support runs for call and support
so again if the staff run into problems
[10:49]
during day-to-day work or even after
hours if we need assistance we can call
[10:54]
uh this group they're operating 247
basis and they can they can do heard do
[11:00]
service they can actually remote in take
control of the machines fix whatever is
[11:04]
the issue and take care of it as I said
there were a host of other items pardon
[11:09]
me there were a host of other items that
were included in it but we didn't really
[11:14]
see it as being prudent right now to buy
into it because it we don't have we
[11:20]
don't have the robustness there of
systems to to to require or you know the
[11:24]
need is just not there so we have some
recurring costs of one
[11:29]
onetime cost for the website itself is a
onetime cost and the remainder or
[11:35]
recurring monthly cost will well have to
[11:41]
pay is go ahead I was just goingon to
ask a question about the U I guess the
[11:47]
Callin support y um just thinking about
and for the most part our staff would
[11:52]
require that during normal business
hours and it would be odd that would be
[11:57]
required outside those hours U I don't
know would be any advantage to us to not
[12:03]
seeking 24hour support but uh it's
includ you buy a block of time when you
[12:10]
use it is totally up to you okay just
curious so it's not it's not it's not
[12:14]
dependent on the time of day is just
they provide 247 okay all all you do is
[12:19]
you buy a block and you say whenever I
call I'll get service but like I mean
[12:23]
the wells or things like that I mean if
they're they're monitored if something
[12:27]
went wrong on a weekend
be nice to be if they if you had to call
[12:32]
be able to contact somebody that would
be weekends to that that would be a
[12:36]
slightly different service because I
think there's already there's a well
[12:39]
monitoring service hotline that we can
call correct to take care of that
[12:43]
software so that that software is
already managed but this would be
[12:46]
something that let's just say we're in
tax season yes and we have an issue with
[12:50]
two of the machines in the front office
and they can't do the work I got you
[12:53]
yeah okay yeah okay so with this package
deal is um
[12:59]
like how long are we signing up for and
can it be changed it can be changed at
[13:03]
any time we sign up for any so if we
need to add more we can add more can
[13:08]
it's month by month okay so you choose
your services now you pay on a
[13:12]
month-by-month basis for what you want
as I said the website design is onetime
[13:15]
fee yes but that and included in the
website design by the way is for one
[13:21]
year then they'll monitor your website
uh and if you have any major changes
[13:26]
that you want done like if you want
things put in taken away Pages redone or
[13:31]
whatever they'll do the services as well
they'll monitor a you know seven days a
[13:36]
week or 365 days I should say
and the big thing is that they will
[13:42]
assess the design so they'll set there's
a a group of people that they work that
[13:47]
work and do this design they will meet
with us figure what we want get some
[13:52]
direction from us and then they'll build
base on that that
[13:57]
direction would they do St training if
that's required or we could ask for
[14:01]
staff training that's something that
they do but it would have to be discreet
[14:05]
asks and that would be like what what
would you want are you thinking about
[14:11]
the so that staff could keep the websit
yeah well there will be yeah there be
[14:15]
Management Services included in it so
we'll have access to the website if you
[14:20]
want it we can add to or take away from
it we can you so I mean if Justin wants
[14:24]
to put something up on a notice board
right he'll have that capability to do
[14:29]
yeah was the cost reasonable in yours
and Justin's estimation yes absolutely
[14:34]
okay for what they're for what they're
providing and with the website is there
[14:39]
going to be any certain things like if
someone types in a certain thing that
[14:43]
town of Kip is going to pop up like the
yes I'm glad you asked that question
[14:47]
because they they will provide a service
what they will do is they will Goot to
[14:50]
the search engines and they will
prioritize the town of kiens okay so
[14:55]
that when we when a search is done on
town of kiens it'll be up high in the
[14:58]
list instead of being in the bottom 100
be in the top 10 or top 20 so that when
[15:04]
a person sees the screen yeah it'll be
there it be one of one of the top or you
[15:09]
know uppermost hits that you would get
on a search I recall a conversation we
[15:13]
had about our website and about the
deficiencies in it and it required a lot
[15:18]
of work and I think this is a good move
for Council to make to get somebody
[15:23]
outside and a professional group to look
at trying to make some of the changes
[15:29]
that are deemed necessary for our
website because right now when we read a
[15:33]
lot of the stuff it's probably not the
things that you'd like to have out there
[15:37]
about this town so I think that's really
good yeah well I think what we should do
[15:41]
is make a make a significant move away
from certain types of social media and
[15:46]
move into an information distribution
system that's tagged directly to us and
[15:51]
that we control so the messages the
message that goes out there is from the
[15:55]
town and it's not side sources
will any of this impact
[16:01]
the like our presence online in in any
other because I know there's some things
[16:07]
that seem to be under the periphery of
what the town is putting out there but
[16:11]
it's still viewed as being the town's
message and I mean our own I think the
[16:16]
town's Facebook page got a lot of things
people trying to sell things and whatnot
[16:22]
that it shows up on I'm world's worst
social media yeah and with this website
[16:27]
design we would would need a Facebook
page Would we not necessarily no okay so
[16:33]
we can get away from that that could be
our Central
[16:37]
presence just just to top what Eric said
most the regul regulatory authorities
[16:44]
municipalities act and development
regulations they all refer back to for
[16:48]
postings and informations they all refer
to town website not social media so we
[16:54]
are obligated by regulatory Authority
all our media is supposed to go
[16:59]
websit but I think we have fed that
animal somewhat over the past because
[17:04]
people had the preference of Facebook
and when I know before I got on Council
[17:10]
and even since you had to go to Facebook
to see what was being posted about water
[17:16]
oages this that the other thing because
it didn't make its way to the town's uh
[17:22]
website that early enough yes and and
part of the I'm sure the servic is with
[17:26]
the website availability uh there should
also be available for a callout system
[17:31]
that we can Implement as well so that if
the water is going to be shut off at
[17:35]
whatever street due to water repairs or
whatever is all that there's a system
[17:40]
can be designed so that anybody on this
street as long as they provide a phone
[17:44]
number or an email however they want to
receive that correspondence yeah they'll
[17:48]
the minute it gets put on a computer or
something like that they automatically
[17:51]
get it they'll probably build some kind
of a banner system into the uh into the
[17:56]
website hopefully where the news would
show up that you know water done hathor
[18:01]
Avenue or whatever well that's the thing
once we sit down as as a council yeah
[18:06]
discuss about whoever else we want to
decide we can decide exactly what we
[18:10]
want to see and how it should be that's
really good yeah I think it's a great
[18:13]
move forward so I think we should
proceed with it yep next
[18:22]
one um we had
a request for donation from Garden of
[18:29]
hope not uh Garden of Hope of course is
located at the St riding Hospital space
[18:38]
service an oasis on a warm summer day
inviting staff families patients to sit
[18:42]
and make make a call eat lunch or just
relax
[18:48]
um so they have
to operate the place like flowers
[18:55]
planting fertilizers painting keep the
things painted that so they've requested
[19:01]
donations
[19:04]
uh I don't think we donated in the past
we couldn't find any no there's nothing
[19:10]
that we've done in the past
so
[19:14]
um seems to be a worthwhile cause so I'm
just wondering if anyone would like to
[19:20]
suggest an amount that would be
reasonable in this case2
[19:29]
$200 fine by me the
[19:32]
words all right I make a motion that we
donate $200 to the Garden of Hope okay
[19:40]
brought for by councelor Derek house
second by Deputy Mayor Eric Nipper any
[19:45]
further discussion on this all in favor
all right oppos motion
[19:52]
carries uh we don't have any additional
business do we Okay I'm going to start
[19:58]
with our committee reports I'm going to
start with my left here with Deputy
[20:01]
Mayor Eric Nipper uh nothing report
right now from the
[20:05]
h okay thank you councelor host uh
nothing to report for
[20:11]
me councelor Derek host uh no nothing uh
I want to mention this time no okay um
[20:19]
before I ask our our CIO I just want to
say U because after that our meeting
[20:25]
will adjourn uh that Canada Day
Celebrations I attended
[20:29]
uh it was a fantastic celebration uh
well put together a lot of good
[20:33]
volunteers and I want to thank them all
um you know Rosie do organize it but I
[20:38]
want to thank all the volunteers that
participated um I know our staff here
[20:43]
participated in it and uh also besides
the uh regular Day Celebrations we had
[20:49]
an excellent um show of uh for our
fireworks the fire department was a big
[20:56]
part of that too yes they were yeah fire
department done the fire works and the
[20:59]
barbecue and it was an excellent display
I Heard lots of good comments fireworks
[21:04]
display as well yeah was one of the
better ones that I've seen I've been to
[21:07]
a lot of them and I was at this one and
it's uh it was quite spectacular and
[21:12]
being outside and talking to other
people there at time watching it you
[21:16]
know just a response for a majority of
people so I just want to say a big thank
[21:19]
you to them for the celebration that day
we certainly appreciate all of her work
[21:23]
and her
efforts um so just thank you from myself
[21:27]
and from Council
and now I'll ask our c for his report
[21:33]
yeah we have a couple of things there
for the report uh first and foremost uh
[21:37]
just as a report we had some
indiscriminate dumping in the grubbing
[21:42]
area um it has been since been cleaned
up okay uh we took ended up taking
[21:48]
approximately almost three4 of a tandem
load of indiscriminate materials that
[21:53]
were not meant to be there um and
unfortunately that cost does come at
[21:57]
taxpayers expense because it comes out
of our budget so at the end of the day
[22:01]
it is a taxpayers of the community that
are paying for the indiscriminate
[22:05]
thumping yeah so uh in since the uh gate
in the area has been fixed and has been
[22:11]
closed and locked okay 40 in term until
we find a long-term solution to try to
[22:17]
mitigate it uh residents will be
required to contact the town office
[22:22]
beforehand a public works employee will
go over open up the gate view to see
[22:28]
what materials need to be dumped and to
dictate whether or not it is appropriate
[22:32]
or not and that's only during normal
business hours it will be during normal
[22:36]
business hours from Monday to Friday
Monday to Friday 8 to 4 okay so too bad
[22:42]
it's just a few people making it bed for
everybody unfortunately you know because
[22:46]
it did come to a fair expense from
tipping fees yeah uh so we're trying to
[22:50]
mitigate that you know we don't want to
have to have more more tipping fees than
[22:55]
necessary so res should realiz or people
that it's not a dumping site no it is
[23:02]
strictly for gring you know if you're
grubbing off a bit of Overland you know
[23:07]
we've got hopefully lots more
Development coming yeah so if you got a
[23:10]
piece of land that you're trying to Grub
off you know some overburden the tree
[23:14]
stumps all that that stuff can be dumped
tree trimmings grass leaves we also did
[23:20]
notice that there were people who had
grass or leaves and stuff uh they left
[23:25]
it in the garbage bags yes so we only we
asked you know residence the leaves and
[23:29]
grass can be dumped you're going to have
to cut or tear the bag open yeah to dump
[23:34]
it and then take the bag back with you
type thing right a question what type of
[23:39]
stuff shouldn't be done anything that is
not natural from grubbing so we're going
[23:44]
to I'm going to draft up a a letter and
it'll be laminated and it'll be put over
[23:49]
there at the grubbing area Okay because
we're hoping long term it won't have to
[23:53]
be locked as per normal hopefully we'll
find M mitigation that it can be left
[23:58]
open as it previously was so I mean at
the end of the day it's meant to be
[24:03]
natural materials trees branches you
know stumps over burden itself from
[24:07]
grubbing from a development in the town
of kippens only
[24:12]
so not construction materials we they
had to go over and pull out building
[24:17]
materials flooring I think there was
mattresses concrete as carpet I mean is
[24:23]
not it's not for that right not a yeah
and there not only else that's noticed I
[24:28]
had uh I had a call from a resident that
went up there himself to dump some some
[24:32]
leaves and they called me and asked me
last time I was up there and he said you
[24:36]
I want to go take a look and he told me
the kind of things and I went up and
[24:39]
took a look and was just ridiculous so
other people are noticing too and
[24:43]
keeping their eye on it which we
appreciate so we may have to get some
[24:46]
camera coverage we we're into it long
term is probably going to be 24-hour
[24:52]
video surveillance of the area yeah so
that way it'll be able to mitigate
[24:57]
residents from half to do stuff during
business hours when people are usually
[25:01]
working yeah so you know I'm sure
there's lots of uh Recreation stuff for
[25:06]
clippings all that people do after hours
in the evenings on their days off you
[25:09]
know so we' like for the residents to be
able to Avail of that at their own time
[25:14]
well and and the thing is by people
doing this that shouldn't be putting
[25:18]
things there shouldn't be there it's
affecting the rest of the people in the
[25:21]
community yes so right now we got to go
Monday to Friday 8 to 4:30 or 8 to 4
[25:25]
whatever it is and uh you know it's
unfortunate but in order to keep a tabs
[25:30]
on it is what we got to do it may not
even all be done by people from our town
[25:35]
no because we've had that happen lots of
times
[25:39]
yeah
no okay so the next item on the list
[25:43]
there is the uh we The Talented put in
for the uh Miracle Grow
[25:51]
garden not fun a miracle gr Garden it's
supplied by Miracle Grove with free
[25:55]
materials and growing uh this year
instead of given soils and bag top so a
[26:00]
lot of stuff for a community garden what
Miracle Grow decided to do was there is
[26:04]
a limited Supply fo planting four of
each there's a bottle of Miracle Grow
[26:10]
itself there's a water soluble plant
food and there is a sign with the
[26:15]
miracle growth this say funded by
Miracle growth with the town of Kens is
[26:19]
emblem in the sign oh nice uh so there
is a limited amount there if any
[26:24]
residents are interested the only
requirement is that when you take them
[26:28]
materials you have to take a sign with
you uh you take a picture of the garden
[26:32]
when you start it and we will find a
date for I believe sometime in August
[26:37]
you take another picture later in August
with the sign visible in the garden and
[26:43]
at that point we sent it to Miracle girl
they post it on their website good so if
[26:47]
there's any residents in kiens that got
the green thump and got flower gardens
[26:53]
and stuff like that there is a limited
Supply first come first a surf okay uh
[26:57]
contact found office during business
hours 8:30 a.m. 4 P.M okay Justin I
[27:03]
think I mentioned to you before we had I
don't know how what the shelf life is on
[27:07]
the fertilizer and plant food net but
there was a a fairly large amount of
[27:13]
that stuff in the shed over there by the
community garden now I don't know if
[27:17]
it's worth checking out whether that
stuff is still INE or usable because uh
[27:23]
it was one the uh the former deputy
mayor had uh when she resigned her
[27:29]
position and had told me that she had
this and they brought it all to me so I
[27:34]
got the key from the town employees and
put it in that place there are some
[27:38]
signs and probably some plant food like
you've got here it might enhance what
[27:42]
you've already got if you do get a big
uptake on it and the stuff is still in
[27:47]
date yes and just other one other thing
on the whole G for the community garden
[27:51]
actually uh town of kipin does not
actually have a garden committee per se
[27:56]
anymore okay so we've had numerous
residents coming and asking about the
[28:00]
garden beds and such uh we've just
conveyed to the residents if there's an
[28:03]
empty plot over there you're welcome to
take it we just ask you probably fix
[28:08]
your name to it somehow so that it can
be indicated that it is in use for the
[28:12]
season okay and for next season and
Seasons Beyond if there are residents of
[28:16]
the community that would like to step up
and form a garden committee again and
[28:21]
would' like to spear head debt by all
means we all accept it with opener
[28:25]
there's there's still a number over
there that's not in
[28:28]
yes so so it can be
available so moving on from that last
[28:33]
item for me uh is just a thing for the
recre summer Recreation program itself
[28:39]
uh we got approximately 98 children
enrolled in that summer program right
[28:46]
now so once again it has been a very
tremendous success uh the town sent out
[28:52]
U just a little reminder letter to all
the parents of the participants just
[28:58]
indicating that well you know in all
fair weather all programs are going to
[29:04]
take place outside as it is warm out we
did just send out a a reassurance letter
[29:09]
Morris just asked parents or Guardians
to have a water bottle with the child's
[29:14]
name on it so it communicate for who
they own it uh a hat either baseball
[29:19]
type or full brim bucket to try to keep
sun off them a pair of sunglasses and we
[29:24]
ask that on especially sunny days uh
they come when be dropped off to already
[29:30]
have at least an SPF 30 sunscreen on uh
I only sent that over to the recreation
[29:36]
students earlier this week looking out
yesterday and today I seen the big old
[29:41]
string of water bottles over there
sitting on the grass and everything so
[29:45]
just through those to the parents or the
Guardians of the kids we appreciate the
[29:49]
support because the well-being and
safety of the kids and the workers are
[29:54]
the utmost importance so just thank you
to the to the community
[29:58]
okay is it restricted to kippens the
participants or did we get from other
[30:04]
