New business. We have the Lackawanna

00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:46,720
modified pedestal mounts are required to
accommodate the LiftMaster CSL-24UL

84
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:50,840

00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,600
it resolved that council through the RM
of Lac La Biche will approve the

86
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:59,480
locations submitted by Branch Mechanical

00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:07,680

provincial airport infrastructure grant
received from the Manitoba Municipal and

93
00:06:19,919 --> 00:06:25,280
And we also have the administrative
recommendation there. So, I'll call for

All right. Carried. Thank you.

And point two is the taxiway extension
for Lac La Biche Regional Airport. And

96
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:37,520
that resolution is moved by Councillor
Kelloway, seconded by Deputy or

97
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:42,240
Councillor Easton
Whereas accessing hangar hangar lots H21

98
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:46,160
through H25 at the Lac La Biche Regional
Airport requires an approximate 180 m

99
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:50,840
extension of the existing airport
taxiway. And whereas the use of

100
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:54,800
limestone instead of RM pit will provide
a more cost-effective solution when

101
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:58,919
considering the hangar's future use and
upcoming airport projects in the future.

102
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,560
Therefore, be it resolved that council
of the Rural Municipality of Lac La

103
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:05,360
Biche approve the construction of a
taxiway extension using purchased

104
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:10,360
limestone at an estimated cost of
$46,000 plus taxes. And that this

105
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:14,720
expenditure be funded from the $400,000
airport infrastructure funding received

106
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:19,480
from the Manitoba Manitoba Municipal and
Northern Relations and included in the

107
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:23,520
2026 budget. And further, be it resolved
that council authorize the acting public

108
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:27,200
works director or designate to proceed
with the required procurement and

109
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,000
construction arrangement for the taxiway
extension in accordance with the

110
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:35,360
municipality's
procurement requirements.

111
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:40,120
So, we had a briefing earlier on today
on this. The latest already been been

112
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:44,040
moved forward. So, I know there's at
least two hangars that are going to be

113
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:47,560
built immediately and two other ones
that are forthcoming here and that will

114
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:51,480
again
result in no further lots being

115
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:54,680
available at the airport, so
that'll be dealt with the council in a

116
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,840
future meeting or and the regional
airport authority, so I'll call for the

117
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,920
vote. Those in favor?
>> I.

118
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:04,480

on June 10th, 2026 approving electrical

122
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:21,200
servicing for the automatic gate system
off old Molson

123
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:24,680
and whereas Manitoba Hydro has
determined that a new overhead and

124
00:08:22,919 --> 00:08:28,720
electrical service line is required to
supply power to the automatic gate.

125
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:32,840
Therefore, be it resolved that council
approve the payment of the additional

126
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:37,080
estimated cost of $6,800
plus the GST directly to Manitoba Hydro

127
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:41,080
for the installation of a new overhead
electrical service line pole and anchor

128
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:44,720
required to supply power to the
automatic gate. And further, be it

129
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:49,080

provincial airport infrastructure grant
received from Manitoba Municipal and

131
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:57,000
Northern Relations.
Uh I can't say enough about that. The

132
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:01,760
funding that we received from the
provincial government as a result of our

133
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:06,360
efforts and continued lobbying uh in the
in the January provincial budget and

to good put to good use, so along with

135
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,440

Thank you.

167
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,800
No.
Resolution is moved by

168
00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:10,360
Councillor Kendall and seconded by
Deputy Mayor Mantle. Whereas the Mantle

169
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:14,520
Road infrastructure
major rehabilitation and reconstruction

170
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:19,400
project from the Winnipeg River Bridge
from 2013 to 2019 including replacement

171
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:23,839
and widening of the bridge
superstructure, improvements to the

172
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:27,560
pedestrian sidewalk, repairs to the
bridge foundations, and increased

173
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:31,640
navigational clearance.
And whereas the speed limit on the

174
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:36,720
bridge is reduced to 50 km/h during the
rehabilitation and reconstruction

175
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:39,320
project and has remained at 50 km per
hour following completion of the

176
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:43,120
project.
And whereas the posted speed limit on PR

177
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:49,440
313 immediately east and west of the
Winnipeg River Bridge is 70 km per hour.

178
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:52,440
And whereas on May 24th, 2022 resolution
2022-0277,

179
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:58,880
Council approved submitting a request to
the province of Manitoba to increase the

180
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:05,320
speed limit on the Winnipeg River Bridge
from 50 km to 70 km per hour for which

181
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:09,040
no formal response has been received.
And whereas the Rural Municipality of

182
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:14,400
Lac du Bonnet received a new speed limit
change request on August 14th, 2026

183
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:20,160
requesting that the speed limit on the
Susan and Richard Noel Memorial Bridge

184
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:22,960
be increased from 50 km per hour to 70
km per hour.

185
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:27,960
And whereas Council considers a
consistent 70 km per hour speed limit

186
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:31,880
through this section of the PR 313 to be
appropriate for consideration

187
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:35,960
for consideration based on the current
bridge design and road lake conditions.

188
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:40,000
Therefore, be it resolved that Council
of the Rural Municipality of Lac du

189
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:45,040
Bonnet respectfully requests Manitoba
Transportation and Infrastructure review

190
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:50,600
the existing 50 km speed limit on the
Susan and Richard Noel Memorial Bridge

191
00:12:47,560 --> 00:12:55,240
on PR 313 and consider increasing it to
70 km per hour. And further be it

192
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:58,839
resolved that the CAO or designate be
authorized to forward this request to

193
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:03,520
Manitoba Transportation and
Infrastructure and seek support from our

194
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:07,760
local member of the Legislative Assembly
as required.

195
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:12,520
I think it's all self-explanatory but
this I know there's

196
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:17,920
» It's quite It's even goes beyond this.
When I was uh

197
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:23,440
uh the public works manager and I was
there I was the RM's representative when

198
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:27,760
that construction was going on so we so
I could advise Council on everything

199
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:33,520
that was going on at the time.
Um we questioned the speed limit.

200
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:37,480
The speed limit went down to 50.
I questioned them on that and I think I

201
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:43,840
brought this information back to council
at that time as a as a manager.

202
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:49,760
And the answer I received is once the
construction was over, it would be

203
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:52,600
resuming back to 77 and it never
happened. So.

204
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:57,440
» Well, we didn't get a response from our
last one because we had put forward a

205
00:13:54,080 --> 00:14:00,560
series of speed speed zone requests.
I know that we were appealed to the

206
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:04,120
standing committee and there was a
gentleman there and we sent that more

207
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,760
conversations with that special
committee that the Minister Naaler has

208
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:09,840
implemented
with their engineers and stuff. This has

209
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:13,440
been very positive. So hopefully this
will be a review as well because it just

210
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:17,520
makes sense. I mean there's five
different speed zones in that area from,

211
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,360
you know,
three the highway 11

212
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:25,160
all the way down through there that
changes at the local level. So I'll call

213
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,680
for the vote. All those in favor?
>> I.

214
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:31,640
» I carried. Thank you.
Uh

215
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:35,320
10.6 is the donation of a rolling bin to
Grand Hills Recreation Park and that

216
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:39,400
revolution is moved by Deputy Mayor
Mansfield seconded by Councillor Easton.

217
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:43,120
Whereas Grand Hills Recreational Park
has requested a bin for use in its

218
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:46,640
recycling collection program. Therefore,
be it resolved that Council of the Arm

219
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:51,400
of Black River authorize the donation of
one surplus large rolling bin to Grand

220
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:55,120
Hills Recreational Park for use in its
recycling collection program and further

221
00:14:53,680 --> 00:15:00,520
be it resolved that the donation be
recorded as a disposition of a surplus

222
00:14:57,839 --> 00:15:03,960
municipal asset in accordance with the
municipality's tendering and procurement

223
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,960
policy.
Yeah, we have a number of those bins

224
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:10,200
that we're not utilizing anymore. So it
just makes sense. It's a very good

225
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,760
recycling department part of the
municipality.

226
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:17,440
» And these are the bins that used to be
under the uh structure of the transfer

227
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:20,360
station that accepted all the recycling
but that was

228
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,320
» Call for the vote. All those in favor?
>> I.

229
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:27,120
» I carried. Thank you. 10.7 is the

recognition of the 100th anniversary of

236
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:55,360
the Royal Canadian Legion. And whereas
the invitation provides an opportunity

237
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:58,680
for the municipality to recognize and
honor local veterans and support the

238
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:02,320

241
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,240

careers and opportunities fair on

247
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:35,000
September 18th, 2026 in Warren,
Manitoba. And whereas the careers and

248
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:39,160
opportunities fair will provide an
opportunity to promote the RM of Lac du

249
00:16:36,839 --> 00:16:43,320

other health care providers to live and

and the RM's share of a booth cost
within the approved budget allocations.

258
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:18,800
Again, this is an excellent opportunity
to showcase our community. I know that

259
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:23,640
there's a lot of moving parts when it
comes to garnering the positions that we

260
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,959
need here, but it's it's an excellent

261
00:17:24,360 --> 00:17:30,320
I commend Councillor Callan on for
bringing this forward as usual when it

262
00:17:27,959 --> 00:17:34,080
comes to physician recruitment. So, I'll
call for the vote. All those in favor?

» Before just just for clarification here
on the

» Yeah, with the breakdown of the

269
00:17:54,800 --> 00:18:02,240
» towards the overall cost of the table,
but we will still be expected to pay

270
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,920
um a couple of hundred dollars. I'm not
sure what that final amount is.

271
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:08,360
» Oh, yeah.
>> Okay. All right, just so long as that's

283
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:53,240
Section 372 of the Municipal Act
authorizes the municipality to establish

284
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:57,240
a reserve bid equal to the tax arrears
and costs owing in respect of each

285
00:18:55,240 --> 00:19:00,760
property. Therefore, be it resolved that

all 2026 tax sale properties in the

amount of the full tax arrears and all
applicable costs owing in respect of

288
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:14,280
each property.
And that's again self-explanatory there.

289
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:18,200
And that'll go on to the our tax
company that does all this work, right?

290

CISM training and resilience development

310
00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:38,560
Again, this is excellent work that's
being done through that entire group,

311
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:43,160
our fire department, our EMO team, as
well as our economic develop officer.

312
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:47,720
Can't say enough about that. It's a real
team effort, so thank you. I'll call for

313
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:52,080
the vote. Those in favor? I. Carried,
thank you. The next point 11 is the

314
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:54,520

00:20:55,120 --> 00:21:00,840
And that resolution is moved by
Deputy Mayor Mazier, seconded by

316
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:04,960

of the parking and storage bylaw 1120 on

321
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:25,920
August 24th, 2023,
June 6th, 2024, and

322
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:30,240
June 26th, 2026.
And whereas the property owner received

323
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:32,760
a penalty notice on or about July 27th,
2026,

324
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,600
and whereas council of the real
municipality of Lack La Mat heard and

325
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:40,440
received evidence
from the property owner regarding the

326
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:43,320
penalty notice on August 18th, 2026.
Therefore, be it resolved that council

327
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:50,280
of the real municipality of Lack La Mat
hereby confirms the penalty notice

328

tax roll 293307
if not paid within 30 days.

331
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:05,760
And we have the RFT decision, the
administrative recommendation, the

332
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:08,800
timeline, the appeal request, the
penalty notice ordered to remedy a

00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:12,280

00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:23,200
service tracker.
So, we have all of that documentation in

337
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:27,280
support of that. I'll call for
public vote. I'm sorry.

338
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:31,600
» In light of our earlier discussion,
should this not be tabled? I'm sorry I

339
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:36,520
didn't stop you right away, but should
this not be tabled until we've had a

340
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:39,840
chance to review that policy?
Because this is not Is this not a

341
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,760
similar situation?
>> No.

342
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,800
» Not in a different plan.
>> Not at all.

343
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:45,640
» But it's within the proximity, is it
not?

344
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,920
» No.
>> No.

345
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:53,560
» No.
You recall the detailed notice?

346
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:57,680
» Yeah, you. That's why I'm
>> I'll keep that trailer on there, yeah.

347
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,680
» Okay.
>> Sure.

348
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,600
I'll call for vote. Those in favor?
All right.

» Abstain.
>> Okay.

351
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:12,440
And the reason?
>> Um

352
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:17,200
because I'm not sure of the distance and
would still like to review this to see

353
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:20,600
if there's any any relevance to the
earlier discussion that we had about

354

» I can answer

355
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:27,360
» I can answer to that. The two properties
are streets apart. They're not anywhere

00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,200

>> still registered to the same landowner,

357
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:34,720
are they not?
>> The

358
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:38,880
They are, but there's no adjacent, no
anything. And the landowner was given

359
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:42,760
several opportunities
to

360
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:47,920
move it
to the property where it could have been

361
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:51,720
legal. It doesn't fall under the
the other policy whatsoever. Like,

362
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:56,400
streets apart.
>> Yeah, no. But I realize that, like, as

363
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,480
it stands right now, but we were going
to look at things

364
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:02,640
» And the things that you're going to look
at don't have any relevance to this

365
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:06,120
case.
>> It's totally You're talking about

366
00:24:04,120 --> 00:24:09,320

00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:16,320
» in a subdivision.
>> It's nowhere close. Like, two completely

369
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,960
different
areas.

370
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:26,200
» Have we updated 10.1 and 11.1 airport is

I just refreshed and it didn't come up.
30's counselor called our clerk.

372
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:33,920
» No, no, no, it's okay. I'm fine.
I'm going to go.

373
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,920
I'm done.

374
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,360
I don't know. I saw it.

375
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:47,880
Oh, it's back to 210.5.
I'm double-checking.

376
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:53,200
» It should be 10.1.3, right?
>> Yeah.

377
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:57,040
» No.
>> Give me 2 seconds.

378
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:06,400
I'm sure it will again.
>> I did, yeah. I'm going to be there.

379
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,720
» Is it there?
>> Yeah.

380
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,480
Yeah.
10:12.

10.12
is the Lac du Bonnet Regional Airport.

385
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:39,000
Southwest tie down recommendations, and
that resolution is moved by Councillor

386
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,960
Redekopp, and seconded by Deputy Mayor
Mazier.

387
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:46,000
Whereas Council passed resolution number
20260154

388
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:49,800
on April 14th, 2026, approving
relocation, surveying, development, and

389
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:53,720
numbering of the airport aircraft
storage and parking tie down area in the

390
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:57,360
southwest portion of the airport to
address capacity and safety

391
00:25:55,080 --> 00:26:01,920
requirements. And whereas Public Works
had evaluated the project and determined

392
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:05,280
the cost to be $29,570
plus applicable dollars plus applicable

393
00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:07,880
taxes.
Therefore, be it resolved that Council

394
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:11,880
approve the construction of the new
southwest tie down area project as

395
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:16,640
recommended by Public Works for a cost
of $29,570

396
00:26:14,360 --> 00:26:21,280
plus applicable taxes. And further be it
resolved that the unbudgeted expenditure

397
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:24,520
be funded from the $400,000 provincial
airport infrastructure grant received

398
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:28,520
from Manitoba Municipal and Northern
Relations.

399
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:31,120
I I just want to thank the government
again for this.

400
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:35,920
Um
$400,000.

401
00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:40,320
And I know that we're tracking
the expenditures, and we're going to

402
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:44,320
provide them with a full summary report
on where those funds were actually

403
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:47,920
allocated to be spent to upgrade our
facility.

404
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:51,720
And um we need to do that so that I can
go back for phase two and three

405
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:56,240
as I've already talked to the minister
about. so just thanks to to government

406
00:26:54,800 --> 00:27:00,360
