resolution is moved by Deputy Remazki,
[3:01] seconded by Councillor Kellendonk.
Whereas Two Rivers Seniors Resource
[3:04] Council Incorporated has been approved

for phase one of the Lac du Bonnet
[3:25] project and the transfer of the

[3:28] Lac du Bonnet du Bonnet for fulfillment
of the grant requirements.
[3:31] And whereas Holiday Park Roll Number
221650.000
[3:37] is owned by the Rural Municipality of
Lac du Bonnet. And whereas the Lac du
[3:40] Bonnet District Historical Society
approved the placement of the outdoor
[3:44] exercise equipment at Holiday Park on
July 13th, 2026 as per the Holiday Park
[3:49] Master Plan. And whereas the equipment

[4:34] residing there, as well as a number of
other documents about the equipment.
[4:40] Any questions at all, Council?
>> Just a comment. Just another example of
[4:45] what the EDO has brought into our
community and what a great addition this
[4:49] is going to be, you know, for community
support or senior engagement.
[4:55] » Exactly. I'll call for the vote. Those
in favor? I carried. Thank you.
[5:00] Um
[5:03] New business. We have the Lackawanna
Regional Airport Authority, 10.1, the
[5:07] gate operator pedestals and that
resolution approved by Deputy Mayor
[5:11] second by Councillor Carroll and others.
Council awarded the contract for the
[5:14] Lackawanna Regional Airport fencing
project for Branchville Fencing pursuant
[5:18] to resolution number 2025-0441
dated November 4th, 2025.
[5:25] And whereas, Council subsequently
approved the supply and installation of
[5:28] automatic gate hardware and associated
components by Branchville Fencing
[5:31] pursuant to resolution number 2026-0192
dated May 19th, 2026. And whereas,
[5:38] modified pedestal mounts are required to
accommodate the LiftMaster CSL-24UL
[5:44] gate operators at the north entrance to
the LDB Regional Airport. Therefore, be
[5:49] it resolved that council through the RM
of Lac La Biche will approve the
[5:52] locations submitted by Branch Mechanical
in the amount of $530 plus GST for the
[5:57] buying and installation of the modified
pedestal arms required for the
[6:00] LiftMaster CSL24UL
gate operators at the north entrance to
[6:05] the LDB Regional Airport. And further,
be it resolved that this unbudgeted
[6:09] expense
expenditure be funded from the $400,000
[6:13] provincial airport infrastructure grant
received from the Manitoba Municipal and
[6:16] Northern Relations.
[6:19] And we also have the administrative
recommendation there. So, I'll call for
[6:23] the vote. Those in favor?
All right. Carried. Thank you.
[6:27] And point two is the taxiway extension
for Lac La Biche Regional Airport. And
[6:31] that resolution is moved by Councillor
Kelloway, seconded by Deputy or
[6:35] Councillor Easton
Whereas accessing hangar hangar lots H21
[6:40] through H25 at the Lac La Biche Regional
Airport requires an approximate 180 m
[6:44] extension of the existing airport
taxiway. And whereas the use of
[6:48] limestone instead of RM pit will provide
a more cost-effective solution when
[6:52] considering the hangar's future use and
upcoming airport projects in the future.
[6:57] Therefore, be it resolved that council
of the Rural Municipality of Lac La
[7:00] Biche approve the construction of a
taxiway extension using purchased
[7:03] limestone at an estimated cost of
$46,000 plus taxes. And that this
[7:08] expenditure be funded from the $400,000
airport infrastructure funding received
[7:12] from the Manitoba Manitoba Municipal and
Northern Relations and included in the
[7:16] 2026 budget. And further, be it resolved
that council authorize the acting public
[7:21] works director or designate to proceed
with the required procurement and
[7:25] construction arrangement for the taxiway
extension in accordance with the
[7:28] municipality's
procurement requirements.
[7:33] So, we had a briefing earlier on today
on this. The latest already been been
[7:38] moved forward. So, I know there's at
least two hangars that are going to be
[7:41] built immediately and two other ones
that are forthcoming here and that will
[7:45] again
result in no further lots being
[7:49] available at the airport, so
that'll be dealt with the council in a
[7:52] future meeting or and the regional
airport authority, so I'll call for the
[7:56] vote. Those in favor?
>> I.
[7:58] » I. Carried. Thank you.
10.3 is the Lac du Bonnet Airport
[8:02] Authority fencing project Manitoba Hydro
cost and this resolution is moved by
[8:08] Councillor Friesen, seconded by
Councillor Kalman. Whereas council
[8:10] passed resolution number 20260239
on June 10th, 2026 approving electrical
[8:16] servicing for the automatic gate system
off old Molson
[8:19] and whereas Manitoba Hydro has
determined that a new overhead and
[8:22] electrical service line is required to
supply power to the automatic gate.
[8:27] Therefore, be it resolved that council
approve the payment of the additional
[8:30] estimated cost of $6,800
plus the GST directly to Manitoba Hydro
[8:35] for the installation of a new overhead
electrical service line pole and anchor
[8:39] required to supply power to the
automatic gate. And further, be it
[8:43] resolved that the unbudgeted expenditure
be funded from the $400,000
[8:46] provincial airport infrastructure grant
received from Manitoba Municipal and
[8:50] Northern Relations.
Uh I can't say enough about that. The
[8:55] funding that we received from the
provincial government as a result of our
[8:58] efforts and continued lobbying uh in the
in the January provincial budget and
[9:04] this is another example of us being put
to good put to good use, so along with
[9:08] the other projects that are ongoing here
at the airport.
[9:11] I'll call for the vote. Those in favor?
>> I.
[9:13] » I. Carried. Thank you.
Um
[9:19] 10.4 is the Lac du Bonnet Regional
Airport. We're going to be labeling that

Resolution is moved by
[11:05] Councillor Kendall and seconded by
Deputy Mayor Mantle. Whereas the Mantle
[11:08] Road infrastructure
major rehabilitation and reconstruction
[11:12] project from the Winnipeg River Bridge
from 2013 to 2019 including replacement
[11:18] and widening of the bridge
superstructure, improvements to the
[11:21] pedestrian sidewalk, repairs to the
bridge foundations, and increased
[11:25] navigational clearance.
And whereas the speed limit on the
[11:28] bridge is reduced to 50 km/h during the
rehabilitation and reconstruction
[11:33] project and has remained at 50 km per
hour following completion of the
[11:38] project.
And whereas the posted speed limit on PR
[11:41] 313 immediately east and west of the
Winnipeg River Bridge is 70 km per hour.
[11:46] And whereas on May 24th, 2022 resolution
2022-0277,
[11:52] Council approved submitting a request to
the province of Manitoba to increase the
[11:56] speed limit on the Winnipeg River Bridge
from 50 km to 70 km per hour for which
[12:02] no formal response has been received.
And whereas the Rural Municipality of
[12:06] Lac du Bonnet received a new speed limit
change request on August 14th, 2026
[12:12] requesting that the speed limit on the
Susan and Richard Noel Memorial Bridge
[12:16] be increased from 50 km per hour to 70
km per hour.
[12:21] And whereas Council considers a
consistent 70 km per hour speed limit
[12:25] through this section of the PR 313 to be
appropriate for consideration
[12:29] for consideration based on the current
bridge design and road lake conditions.
[12:34] Therefore, be it resolved that Council
of the Rural Municipality of Lac du
[12:37] Bonnet respectfully requests Manitoba
Transportation and Infrastructure review
[12:42] the existing 50 km speed limit on the
Susan and Richard Noel Memorial Bridge
[12:47] on PR 313 and consider increasing it to
70 km per hour. And further be it
[12:53] resolved that the CAO or designate be
authorized to forward this request to
[12:57] Manitoba Transportation and
Infrastructure and seek support from our
[13:01] local member of the Legislative Assembly
as required.
[13:05] I think it's all self-explanatory but
this I know there's
[13:09] » It's quite It's even goes beyond this.
When I was uh
[13:14] uh the public works manager and I was
there I was the RM's representative when
[13:20] that construction was going on so we so
I could advise Council on everything
[13:25] that was going on at the time.
Um we questioned the speed limit.
[13:31] The speed limit went down to 50.
I questioned them on that and I think I
[13:35] brought this information back to council
at that time as a as a manager.
[13:40] And the answer I received is once the
construction was over, it would be
[13:46] resuming back to 77 and it never
happened. So.
[13:51] » Well, we didn't get a response from our
last one because we had put forward a
[13:54] series of speed speed zone requests.
I know that we were appealed to the
[13:59] standing committee and there was a
gentleman there and we sent that more
[14:02] conversations with that special
committee that the Minister Naaler has
[14:05] implemented
with their engineers and stuff. This has
[14:08] been very positive. So hopefully this
will be a review as well because it just
[14:12] makes sense. I mean there's five
different speed zones in that area from,
[14:16] you know,
three the highway 11
[14:20] all the way down through there that
changes at the local level. So I'll call
[14:23] for the vote. All those in favor?

[14:53] be it resolved that the donation be
recorded as a disposition of a surplus
[14:57] municipal asset in accordance with the
municipality's tendering and procurement
[15:02] policy.
Yeah, we have a number of those bins
[15:05] that we're not utilizing anymore. So it
just makes sense. It's a very good
[15:08] recycling department part of the
municipality.
[15:11] » And these are the bins that used to be
under the uh structure of the transfer
[15:14] station that accepted all the recycling

comes to garnering the positions that we
[17:21] need here, but it's it's an excellent
and I
[17:24] I commend Councillor Callan on for

Because this is not Is this not a
[22:38] similar situation?
>> No.
[22:40] » Not in a different plan.

earlier discussion that we had about

[23:29] are they not?
>> The
[23:31] They are, but there's no adjacent, no
anything. And the landowner was given
[23:37] several opportunities
to
[23:40] move it
to the property where it could have been
[23:45] legal. It doesn't fall under the
the other policy whatsoever. Like,
[23:49] streets apart.
>> Yeah, no. But I realize that, like, as
[23:54] it stands right now, but we were going
to look at things
[23:58] » And the things that you're going to look
at don't have any relevance to this

I'm double-checking.
[24:48] » It should be 10.1.3, right?
>> Yeah.
[24:51] » No.
>> Give me 2 seconds.
[24:59] I'm sure it will again.
