Item seven is a presentation. 90 00:08:20,623 --> 00:08:26,983 From the Grand Band Arts center regarding pain, Ontario. It's 91 00:08:27,028 --> 00:08:30,248 a large vibrancy request. You have ten minutes. 92 00:08:38,817 --> 00:08:45,686 Mayor cook, deputy mayor, stageman, counselors. My name is Net 93 00:08:45,811 --> 00:08:49,366 Patchlers. I am currently president of the Grand Band Art 94 00:08:49,771 --> 00:08:57,110 Center. A charitable organization. Run by volunteers. This is Barbara 95 00:08:57,475 --> 00:09:04,243 Pickett, an artist who shows that Sunset Arts gallery. She's 96 00:09:04,528 --> 00:09:07,790 a grand band resident. And a director on the Grand 97 00:09:08,115 --> 00:09:12,383 Vandard center board. Grand Ben Art center has been producing 98 00:09:13,108 --> 00:09:17,183 the paint Ontario show and sale at the Lampton Heritage 99 00:09:17,588 --> 00:09:23,219 museum near the pinery entrance. Due to the reduction in 100 00:09:23,944 --> 00:09:28,579 available display space that the newly renovated Lantern Heritage Museum. 101 00:09:31,496 --> 00:09:37,370 Paint. Ontario needs a new home. The smaller space. Meant 102 00:09:37,415 --> 00:09:44,361 severely reduced opportunities. For both artists and art appreciators. As 103 00:09:44,406 --> 00:09:50,738 well as. The proportionally reduced income for grand band Art 104 00:09:51,143 --> 00:09:57,763 center, the pain, Ontario's governing body. So we're here today 105 00:09:58,128 --> 00:10:06,465 to talk about paint Ontario and saving paint Ontario. The 106 00:10:06,470 --> 00:10:10,944 show itself is a very impressive show. Especially for a 107 00:10:10,989 --> 00:10:14,224 small community like we have. I'm a relatively new resident. 108 00:10:14,509 --> 00:10:17,824 I come from Mississauga and my first paint Ontario show. 109 00:10:19,803 --> 00:10:24,200 Was in 2021. I went with a fellow artist and 110 00:10:24,605 --> 00:10:28,748 from Stratford, and we toured the show and. We're absolutely 111 00:10:29,233 --> 00:10:32,428 blown away, not only by the caliber of the artwork, 112 00:10:32,833 --> 00:10:37,068 but the number of pieces, the professionalism of it. There 113 00:10:37,113 --> 00:10:40,919 were artists to speak to. There were demonstrations going on, 114 00:10:41,644 --> 00:10:45,174 and there was. A fairly big number of people that 115 00:10:45,499 --> 00:10:50,326 were walking and going through it totally impressed. So much 116 00:10:50,411 --> 00:10:52,926 so that I decided to volunteer to be involved with 117 00:10:53,011 --> 00:10:55,646 Pain Ontario the following year. So I was one of 118 00:10:55,651 --> 00:11:00,046 the greeters in 2022, and again a lovely show in 119 00:11:00,371 --> 00:11:03,453 the museum. But it was half the size that it 120 00:11:03,458 --> 00:11:06,344 was the year before. And the kind of comments you 121 00:11:06,389 --> 00:11:09,864 got from the people who were visiting were this. It's 122 00:11:09,909 --> 00:11:12,184 beautiful. This is great. Is there another room with more 123 00:11:12,549 --> 00:11:19,082 art? And similarly, the artists, many of whom maybe had 124 00:11:19,447 --> 00:11:22,869 one piece in the show, Previously have had two or 125 00:11:22,914 --> 00:11:25,149 maybe three in the show. And for them, driving all 126 00:11:25,434 --> 00:11:27,429 this way to be there just to meet with people. 127 00:11:29,017 --> 00:11:30,932 Just didn't have the same bang for the buck, if 128 00:11:30,937 --> 00:11:35,067 you will. And that kind of commentary went back to 129 00:11:35,072 --> 00:11:37,787 the board and there was a recognition. There's maybe a 130 00:11:38,192 --> 00:11:45,519 need for a venue change. Paint Ontario. Is the main 131 00:11:45,964 --> 00:11:48,999 fundraising vehicle that we have at the Grand Band Art 132 00:11:49,404 --> 00:11:53,119 center. Just like autumn, indulgence. Is the main fundraising venue 133 00:11:53,484 --> 00:11:56,519 for rotary, so we look to that one event to 134 00:11:56,564 --> 00:11:58,719 generate the funds we need to run the programs we 135 00:11:58,764 --> 00:12:02,079 want to run. It's been running for 26 years. It 136 00:12:02,084 --> 00:12:06,587 was Barry Richmond's brainchild to share local. Artists, art with 137 00:12:06,632 --> 00:12:10,210 the community. And it has changed over the years into 138 00:12:10,295 --> 00:12:13,810 something that's really one of the biggest art shows in 139 00:12:14,175 --> 00:12:18,170 Ontario. We call it representational art because it's more than 140 00:12:18,215 --> 00:12:21,610 just oil and acrylic and watercolors on the wall. It 141 00:12:21,975 --> 00:12:25,730 sculptures its indigenous art, so it's a pretty big variety 142 00:12:26,135 --> 00:12:30,526 of a show. And we get over 700 entries, if 143 00:12:30,571 --> 00:12:34,086 you can imagine, from 400 artists. And we've got a 144 00:12:34,131 --> 00:12:39,298 group of very talented jury members who. Cull through. These 145 00:12:39,743 --> 00:12:43,418 700 entries and pick the 200 or so best of 146 00:12:43,783 --> 00:12:47,338 the best and curate this beautiful show. That's here, right 147 00:12:47,703 --> 00:12:52,525 at our doorstep. And we use the funds that we 148 00:12:52,610 --> 00:12:56,328 generate from this show. To run the programs we run 149 00:12:56,693 --> 00:13:01,466 at the art center. So as board members, We try 150 00:13:01,511 --> 00:13:05,586 to work on our mission of inspiring creativity in our 151 00:13:05,911 --> 00:13:08,506 community for people of all ages. So we're very, very 152 00:13:08,551 --> 00:13:10,906 proud of the fact that we sponsor a music program 153 00:13:11,711 --> 00:13:15,186 in the school. We run kids arts camps. We run 154 00:13:15,631 --> 00:13:18,746 kids events throughout the year. When you go down to 155 00:13:18,791 --> 00:13:23,109 the grand band Beach, the sculptures. The murals. That's all 156 00:13:23,154 --> 00:13:25,709 because of our group and the efforts that are done 157 00:13:25,794 --> 00:13:29,229 by that. In addition, we run a bunch of programs 158 00:13:29,554 --> 00:13:31,989 in our little building on Municipal Drive, so we have 159 00:13:32,274 --> 00:13:36,785 a great pottery program. That's for kids to adults. We 160 00:13:36,830 --> 00:13:41,497 have art classes. Like drawing classes this year. I've started 161 00:13:41,622 --> 00:13:47,521 a dab and gab. Drop in paint. Afternoon for senior 162 00:13:47,846 --> 00:13:51,401 citizens and for adults. So we've got lots of programs 163 00:13:51,646 --> 00:13:56,318 and lots of program ideas, but they need funding. And 164 00:13:56,363 --> 00:13:59,078 so we have a model that's helped us, and that 165 00:13:59,083 --> 00:14:02,758 is paint Ontario, where we have artists who want to 166 00:14:03,043 --> 00:14:07,038 be in a very reputable space to show their works, 167 00:14:07,763 --> 00:14:09,798 to participate and try to win some of our great 168 00:14:10,163 --> 00:14:16,690 prize money donated by sponsors. And we co share in 169 00:14:16,695 --> 00:14:20,650 the proceeds. They get 65%, we get 35. So it's 170 00:14:20,655 --> 00:14:26,209 a good funding model that works. Payne, Ontario involves some 171 00:14:26,894 --> 00:14:36,249 60 community volunteers, but we have no paid stuff. The 172 00:14:36,614 --> 00:14:43,369 show brings shoulder seasoned visitors to restaurants, hotels, retailers and 173 00:14:43,734 --> 00:14:49,667 more. The economic benefits. From some 3000 visitors is visible 174 00:14:50,072 --> 00:14:55,957 throughout Lampton shores. Our permanent paint Ontario collection is displayed 175 00:14:56,002 --> 00:15:02,146 annually at the local businesses. Paint Ontario is a creative, 176 00:15:02,471 --> 00:15:12,139 cultural and inspirational experience. For all with artists, 177 00:15:12,544 --> 00:15:20,153 demonstrations throughout the show and dedicated themed weekends. Local, indigenous 178 00:15:20,198 --> 00:15:24,713 and other cultures will be celebrated during our. Closing weekend. 179 00:15:25,839 --> 00:15:29,314 As well. Local students will be invited to experience pain 180 00:15:29,439 --> 00:15:34,254 Ontario free of charge over a four day period. So 181 00:15:34,299 --> 00:15:36,374 we're in a bit of a predicament. So the end 182 00:15:36,699 --> 00:15:39,374 of 2022. We have a show with half the size 183 00:15:39,739 --> 00:15:42,934 of the previous shows. Therefore, half the size meets half. 184 00:15:43,299 --> 00:15:47,694 The amount of artwork and half the potential sales. Therefore, 185 00:15:48,099 --> 00:15:50,854 half the fundraising money we need to run. Our programs. 186 00:15:51,179 --> 00:15:54,694 So as a board, we sat back and. Thought, what 187 00:15:54,979 --> 00:15:57,214 can we do? We need a new venue. We want 188 00:15:57,259 --> 00:15:59,374 to have a venue that will allow us to have 189 00:15:59,419 --> 00:16:02,595 a high quality event. And we don't want to do 190 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,511 this without it being professional looking. So after a lot 191 00:16:07,836 --> 00:16:10,391 of consideration, we feel like we've come up with a 192 00:16:10,436 --> 00:16:13,718 great, innovative solution. Through some joint work with one of 193 00:16:14,043 --> 00:16:19,202 our partners, tech solutions, and essentially. What we are planning 194 00:16:19,247 --> 00:16:21,882 to do is to take the upstairs floor of the 195 00:16:22,127 --> 00:16:25,802 grand band legion and transform it into a beautiful art 196 00:16:26,207 --> 00:16:30,282 gallery for three weeks in May of 2024, in order 197 00:16:31,007 --> 00:16:33,762 to do that. We need some new equipment, some state 198 00:16:34,087 --> 00:16:39,925 of the art track lighting. Some movable panels. We have 199 00:16:40,010 --> 00:16:43,125 in the works, much like the diagram shows about 50 200 00:16:43,530 --> 00:16:49,234 panels. That are portable, that are configurable, we'll be able 201 00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:51,914 to have a great show for May. But we will 202 00:16:51,959 --> 00:16:55,954 also be able to take those pieces and use them 203 00:16:56,359 --> 00:17:02,513 again. And our intent is. To come up, or what 204 00:17:02,558 --> 00:17:05,233 we've come up with is a modern solution. It's a 205 00:17:05,238 --> 00:17:10,193 solution that will allow us to be professional, reusable, flexible 206 00:17:10,598 --> 00:17:12,353 for this year and years. To come, and we want 207 00:17:12,398 --> 00:17:14,953 to bring it with us to the grand band community 208 00:17:15,318 --> 00:17:18,033 center when that comes to fruition, we'll share it with 209 00:17:18,078 --> 00:17:21,574 our partners. But the bottom line is it's capital. It's 210 00:17:21,819 --> 00:17:26,334 a one time investment that's reusable specifically for lighting and 211 00:17:26,379 --> 00:17:29,814 for walls. And that's what our ask is, through this 212 00:17:29,939 --> 00:17:37,331 grant. Fundraising is necessary to acquire equipment that meets the 213 00:17:37,696 --> 00:17:41,331 standard for a professional art gallery. It's a one time 214 00:17:41,656 --> 00:17:48,868 purchase since walls and lighting are reusable and transferable. Yes. 215 00:17:49,273 --> 00:17:53,399 We've applied for a number of grants. We were not 216 00:17:53,524 --> 00:17:59,972 successful in all of them. So the trillium grant. Did 217 00:18:00,097 --> 00:18:03,492 not come through for us. We just found out we 218 00:18:03,537 --> 00:18:07,550 did not get a creative county grant. So we've been 219 00:18:07,915 --> 00:18:12,409 doing a lot of work behind the scenes. We have 220 00:18:12,494 --> 00:18:17,341 had some successes. To meet our target for the May 221 00:18:18,026 --> 00:18:23,141 2024 opening, we must raise the necessary funds to relocate. 222 00:18:24,298 --> 00:18:30,446 To be upstairs. Legion Hall. And purchase the specialized walls 223 00:18:30,491 --> 00:18:37,128 and lighting. Rotary monies were used for the legion upgrades. 224 00:18:38,313 --> 00:18:44,288 Our vibrancy large grant request. Is just over 31,000. This 225 00:18:44,733 --> 00:18:51,140 represents one third of the 94,000 in expenses. Due to 226 00:18:51,505 --> 00:18:56,799 the new location. Signage will also be critical. In addition, 227 00:19:00,506 --> 00:19:05,920 To rating significant grant. Request. Just kind of wrap it 228 00:19:05,925 --> 00:19:10,104 up. Okay, so we have the wall sponsorship. We have 229 00:19:10,469 --> 00:19:18,698 a tiered. Donation possibility. You get a receipt for anything. 230 00:19:20,557 --> 00:19:28,637 Over $20. We are very grateful. To. The many individuals, 231 00:19:29,002 --> 00:19:34,271 community organizations who have contributed. We want to thank Rotary, 232 00:19:34,676 --> 00:19:37,871 who have already started us off, and a grant from 233 00:19:38,236 --> 00:19:44,574 Sunset community foundation. The legion has been extremely supportive, and 234 00:19:44,939 --> 00:19:47,174 at this point, I want to say thank you for 235 00:19:47,539 --> 00:19:53,953 your consideration. And. Certainly. We look forward to working with 236 00:19:54,358 --> 00:20:03,690 you. Thank you. Are there any questions? The group. 237 00:20:07,100 --> 00:20:12,340 Council woodcocks. This item is on the agenda somewhere. I 238 00:20:12,385 --> 00:20:16,435 read it somewhere, but I don't. It's in our large 239 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,644 vibrancy request. It is in that request. So it will 240 00:20:19,689 --> 00:20:23,378 come back up. Through the mayor. A report will be 241 00:20:23,463 --> 00:20:25,738 presented to council at the next meeting to make a 242 00:20:26,023 --> 00:20:31,110 decision. On this request. This presentation is for information today. 243 00:20:32,755 --> 00:20:40,751 We're not making a decision on this today. Okay. Councilor 244 00:20:41,156 --> 00:20:49,116 bail. Just a question on the walls. Because you're moving. 245 00:20:50,516 --> 00:20:54,111 From county to the legion, and you're making walls. So, 246 00:20:54,596 --> 00:20:58,324 any idea? How much artwork can be displayed on the 247 00:20:58,329 --> 00:21:00,924 walls that you're constructing. I take it that's an integral 248 00:21:00,969 --> 00:21:06,328 part of the grant. Ask. The two. Hundred pieces will 249 00:21:06,373 --> 00:21:11,517 be displayed there. There's going to be 50 panels, and 250 00:21:11,562 --> 00:21:14,237 the panels are 4ft by nine and a half feet 251 00:21:14,602 --> 00:21:17,077 each. So if you multiply that out, if you would 252 00:21:17,122 --> 00:21:19,037 assume in that space you can do more than four 253 00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:22,877 pieces on one panel. Got you. So there is your 254 00:21:22,922 --> 00:21:28,319 200. Yes, it's a lot. And some sculpture space, too. 255 00:21:29,451 --> 00:21:31,726 So Wilcox to your worship. Now that I have the 256 00:21:31,771 --> 00:21:37,831 opportunity to clear my mind and ask some. Questions. So 257 00:21:37,876 --> 00:21:40,671 this grant would just be to get the new equipment, 258 00:21:40,996 --> 00:21:43,791 the capital expense, and then the show. Would self sustain 259 00:21:44,156 --> 00:21:47,376 itself from there on out. And you've got, like, a 260 00:21:47,381 --> 00:21:52,264 good storage facility. To put everything that you get so 261 00:21:52,669 --> 00:21:57,005 it stays nice and dry and clean. So part B 262 00:21:57,770 --> 00:22:04,281 is we have submitted a vibrancy small grant. Request. And 263 00:22:04,326 --> 00:22:11,758 that does contain. The storage. Container. Okay. An excellent question, 264 00:22:12,163 --> 00:22:17,174 because. It is so important that we take care of. 265 00:22:18,086 --> 00:22:25,507 This lighting and the walls. And so. Essential. Important part 266 00:22:25,552 --> 00:22:34,944 of culture. Thank you. Any other questions? Thank you for 267 00:22:34,949 --> 00:22:38,064 your presentation. Okay. All right. And thank you. 268 00:22:45,262 --> 00:22:51,120 Under delegations we have. One tonight, and it is John 269 00:22:51,445 --> 00:22:54,600 O'Hanley from the Legion would like to speak to. Item 270 00:22:54,925 --> 00:22:59,418 9.2 on the correspondence. Mr. Hanley, come to the microphone. 271 00:23:06,032 --> 00:23:07,147 You have three minutes, John. 272 00:23:17,929 --> 00:23:22,364 Mayor and members of council. If you can remember, earlier 273 00:23:22,689 --> 00:23:25,884 this year, the Grand Bend legion sent to members of 274 00:23:26,209 --> 00:23:29,764 this council, a letter of concern regarding the safety of 275 00:23:29,849 --> 00:23:39,717 children crossing. Highway 81 and Guild Road with 276 00:23:40,042 --> 00:23:44,611 the letters of support. From most of all nonprofit organizations 277 00:23:44,896 --> 00:23:50,331 within grand Bend seeking better safety protocols to help protect 278 00:23:51,016 --> 00:23:56,847 the children. Crossing this intersection. As everyone knows. That a 279 00:23:56,892 --> 00:24:05,274 young female. Her father is here. Was struck. Thankfully. She 280 00:24:05,599 --> 00:24:12,331 is recovering. So before we go any further here. There 281 00:24:12,656 --> 00:24:16,491 are some Ied as to ensure that. This will not 282 00:24:16,856 --> 00:24:21,810 happen again, or at least reduce the chances. In Ontario. 283 00:24:23,147 --> 00:24:26,902 The school speed limit is between 30 and 40 km 284 00:24:27,027 --> 00:24:33,448 an hour. We have. School zones, yellow science, flashing lights, 285 00:24:34,053 --> 00:24:38,568 crossing guards, electric speed signs making drivers aware of their 286 00:24:38,613 --> 00:24:43,437 speed during school hours. Monday through Friday, September through till 287 00:24:43,882 --> 00:24:48,757 June. And another observation is most grand band citizens know 288 00:24:49,082 --> 00:24:52,358 where the school zone is. So they are conscious of 289 00:24:52,403 --> 00:24:55,476 that. But as everyone here knows as well, we have 290 00:24:55,761 --> 00:24:58,196 a lot of people coming in from out of town. 291 00:24:59,224 --> 00:25:02,739 Coming in and going out that really does not know 292 00:25:03,144 --> 00:25:06,219 where the school zone is, so it's. Imperative that we 293 00:25:06,264 --> 00:25:10,527 do something there. To protect the lives of the children. 294 00:25:12,141 --> 00:25:16,336 So in closing, I employ council to address this issue. 295 00:25:17,465 --> 00:25:21,900 To protect the students in grim. Ben and also the 296 00:25:22,265 --> 00:25:24,700 father, Rob went to come up as well. And speak. 297 00:25:25,784 --> 00:25:32,044 You're not on the agenda. Sorry. Okay. Sorry, I can't. 298 00:25:32,489 --> 00:25:38,762 No. Okay. All right. Okay. Thank you. Any questions? Thank 299 00:25:38,807 --> 00:25:47,176 you. Good. Do we know when we're going to deal 300 00:25:47,581 --> 00:25:50,951 with this? We have correspondence that we'll be dealing with 301 00:25:51,316 --> 00:25:53,831 right now. I'm sorry. We have. Correspondence that we'll be 302 00:25:53,916 --> 00:25:58,399 dealing with right now. Okay, great. Thank you. Under correspondence. 303 00:26:01,752 --> 00:26:05,734 We have. Three, four pieces of correspondence. How does council 304 00:26:05,819 --> 00:26:08,799 wish to handle them? Councilor scott. 305 00:26:20,805 --> 00:26:23,880 Get a nation to receive the rest then, please. Council 306 00:26:24,125 --> 00:26:30,084 Maguire. Councilor Bailey, any questions on the other correspondence. All 307 00:26:30,489 --> 00:26:35,408 in favor? Councilor Dodge, did you have a question? Thank 308 00:26:35,453 --> 00:26:40,395 you. Everybody speak. Ever in the microphone, okay? Please. Okay. 309 00:26:42,552 --> 00:26:48,892 Item 9.210.2. Courtney Councilor Scott. We have put us a 310 00:26:49,177 --> 00:26:53,111 request from the legion there. How does council wish to 311 00:26:53,156 --> 00:27:01,176 handle that? Council. Scott, use your microphone, please. I would 312 00:27:01,261 --> 00:27:03,416 like to make a motion that we get a report 313 00:27:03,541 --> 00:27:09,587 back. On that area. So that we can take a 314 00:27:09,592 --> 00:27:15,256 look. At any issues that are there. And we can 315 00:27:15,301 --> 00:27:18,496 then have some ideas on what we can do there, 316 00:27:19,341 --> 00:27:21,856 because I don't. Know. Is that a county road? Is 317 00:27:21,901 --> 00:27:29,026 it our road? Okay. All right. I'd like to have 318 00:27:29,111 --> 00:27:30,906 it come back. So, like, to make a motion that 319 00:27:31,191 --> 00:27:34,327 we get a report back on that issue? Second that. 320 00:27:36,405 --> 00:27:43,614 Anything else? All in favor? Opposed? Carrie. Thank you. Moving 321 00:27:43,699 --> 00:27:53,272 on. We have our planning reports. Item 9.5. Which was 322 00:27:53,317 --> 00:27:57,893 the zoning application for Adam Brebner. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. 323 00:28:00,408 --> 00:28:03,123 As I was said earlier, this is a zoning application 324 00:28:03,568 --> 00:28:08,222 to. Change to add a permitted use at 125 King 325 00:28:08,507 --> 00:28:14,629 Streetford. To permit a day nursery or childcare facility. The 326 00:28:14,674 --> 00:28:20,675 property. Is currently contains a single family dwelling that has 327 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,526 been used. As a clinic or a doctor's office since 328 00:28:24,651 --> 00:28:29,194 roughly 1991. At which time the village of Edford passed 329 00:28:29,479 --> 00:28:32,234 a zoning amendment to add that as a permitted use 330 00:28:32,319 --> 00:28:36,426 on that property. Our current zoning bylaw permits a clinic 331 00:28:36,471 --> 00:28:40,583 as a home occupation in any residential lot. Also in 332 00:28:40,628 --> 00:28:46,252 1991. After. The village gave permission for it to be 333 00:28:46,537 --> 00:28:49,820 used as a doctor's office. The property owner at that 334 00:28:49,865 --> 00:28:55,834 time obtained a minor variance to allow the parking. To 335 00:28:56,239 --> 00:28:59,814 the required parking on site. To encroach partially onto the 336 00:28:59,859 --> 00:29:05,119 road allowance. The Shrard street side yard. So that is 337 00:29:05,164 --> 00:29:09,426 a situation we have today. The proposal is to change 338 00:29:09,511 --> 00:29:13,506 the use to a day nursery. There's not any substantial 339 00:29:13,551 --> 00:29:17,106 changes. Proposed to the existing situation other than the use. 340 00:29:19,172 --> 00:29:22,807 The parking requirements for a clinic are five spaces. The 341 00:29:23,092 --> 00:29:28,971 parking requirements for a day nursery are five. Spaces. There 342 00:29:28,976 --> 00:29:32,542 is much more than five spaces on the property. And. 343 00:29:33,879 --> 00:29:36,314 There's also three parking spaces out on the county road 344 00:29:36,439 --> 00:29:40,354 allowance as well. So we think that there's enough for 345 00:29:40,399 --> 00:29:46,328 the five staff members as well as. For. The drop 346 00:29:46,693 --> 00:29:51,128 offs that are anticipated, and that's based on the information 347 00:29:51,493 --> 00:29:56,443 that the applicant has. Given us on. How many individuals 348 00:29:56,488 --> 00:30:00,123 they anticipate being dropping off children at any one time. 349 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:09,490 So as staff. Were supportive of the change that's proposed 350 00:30:10,335 --> 00:30:14,131 from clinic to a day nursery. The locations on an 351 00:30:14,176 --> 00:30:18,601 arterial road. It's supported by the residential policies of the 352 00:30:18,926 --> 00:30:22,961 official plan, both the use and the location. On arterial 353 00:30:23,366 --> 00:30:29,606 road. We've talked with public works with respect to. The 354 00:30:29,651 --> 00:30:34,031 existing situation of the parking. And staff has drafted a 355 00:30:34,036 --> 00:30:39,773 zoning bylaw amendment. That would change this property to a 356 00:30:39,818 --> 00:30:43,757 specific site specific r one zone. That would add a 357 00:30:44,202 --> 00:30:47,797 day nursery as a permitted use. Clarify that the day 358 00:30:47,882 --> 00:30:52,248 nursery. Should any alterations be proposed to the property at 359 00:30:52,293 --> 00:30:54,888 any time in the future would be subject to the 360 00:30:54,933 --> 00:30:57,248 zone provisions of that zone that apply to a single 361 00:30:57,613 --> 00:31:01,168 detached dwelling and also recognizing the situation. With respect to 362 00:31:01,173 --> 00:31:05,465 the parking. So, Wococox, I'd like to move the recommendation, 363 00:31:05,550 --> 00:31:09,425 your worship, and just make a comment. Certainly the planners 364 00:31:09,470 --> 00:31:12,945 dated me somewhat because I lived two doors down. When 365 00:31:13,350 --> 00:31:19,057 that change from a residence to a doctor's office. Was 366 00:31:19,182 --> 00:31:21,817 done, and I was fortunate enough at that time to 367 00:31:22,222 --> 00:31:25,075 be able to. Be a customer of that doctor's office. 368 00:31:26,105 --> 00:31:28,540 I think it's an absolutely fantastic use of the property. 369 00:31:28,985 --> 00:31:30,820 It would be nice to have a doctor back in 370 00:31:30,825 --> 00:31:33,900 town, but the property has been sold. The current owner. 371 00:31:34,185 --> 00:31:35,980 This is what they'd like to do, and it's a 372 00:31:36,345 --> 00:31:39,611 needed service in the community. And I think it's a 373 00:31:39,656 --> 00:31:45,638 great use of. That location. I'm fully in support. So 374 00:31:46,283 --> 00:31:49,238 why are you second that? Any other comments or questions? 375 00:31:50,458 --> 00:31:56,167 All in favor? Thank you. For 9.6 is the adoption 376 00:31:56,492 --> 00:32:01,684 of the community improvement plan. And there's recommendations that go 377 00:32:01,729 --> 00:32:02,604 along with that. 378 00:32:42,699 --> 00:32:48,643 So. There are four recommendations. To go along with this. 379 00:32:50,721 --> 00:32:57,671 Councilor Dodge, you moving? I have a question, Mr. Mayor. 380 00:32:58,656 --> 00:33:03,862 I guess I address. The treasure, perhaps. With the adoption 381 00:33:04,227 --> 00:33:09,646 of this plan, which is a good plan. Suggests that 382 00:33:10,371 --> 00:33:16,082 there'll be help for businesses. To come forward. And make 383 00:33:16,167 --> 00:33:21,032 improvements to their buildings, is that correct? Through you, Mr. 384 00:33:21,437 --> 00:33:24,912 Mayor. Yes. The intent of the plan would be to 385 00:33:25,317 --> 00:33:28,872 direct funds. So if the plan is adopted, then council 386 00:33:28,917 --> 00:33:31,152 will have to establish a budget as to how much 387 00:33:31,877 --> 00:33:38,461 money it wishes. To set aside for this. On an 388 00:33:38,506 --> 00:33:45,795 annual basis. And then applications would be submitted. And reviewed 389 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,795 by staff to determine whether or not they meet the 390 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:54,505 policies and requirements. Of the plan. And if they do? 391 00:33:55,740 --> 00:33:59,407 Then the municipality would enter into an agreement. With the 392 00:33:59,732 --> 00:34:03,443 property owner. For them to complete the work as they've 393 00:34:03,808 --> 00:34:11,517 presented and then to. Have the funds contributed to the 394 00:34:11,562 --> 00:34:15,861 work. Once the work is completed. To the planner then. 395 00:34:20,595 --> 00:34:26,105 Do you have a set amount like. Is there a 396 00:34:26,150 --> 00:34:31,255 max that a business can apply for? Like, 20,000. 10,000. 397 00:34:32,573 --> 00:34:36,248 Is there a ceiling here somewhere? Through you, Mr. Mayor. 398 00:34:36,893 --> 00:34:40,702 So there's a number of different programs. And each program. 399 00:34:42,207 --> 00:34:46,509 Has a maximum amount. So the municipality would match dollar 400 00:34:46,514 --> 00:34:49,229 for dollar, up to a maximum amount on each program. 401 00:34:50,854 --> 00:34:53,609 And each program has a separate maximum. A lot of 402 00:34:53,614 --> 00:34:58,322 them are a maximum of 5000. Some are 1000. So 403 00:34:58,647 --> 00:35:02,623 you can't obtain more than that for any individual. Program 404 00:35:02,708 --> 00:35:05,703 that you may be eligible for. However, it is possible 405 00:35:06,108 --> 00:35:09,823 a stack programs in that you might be eligible for 406 00:35:10,148 --> 00:35:14,513 more than one program. In which case. You could potentially 407 00:35:14,998 --> 00:35:19,033 have more than the 5000 minimum of one program. For 408 00:35:19,318 --> 00:35:21,593 instance, if you are eligible for two programs, you could 409 00:35:21,638 --> 00:35:26,971 potentially have $10,000. And I would have to look at 410 00:35:27,616 --> 00:35:32,073 the specific programs, I believe. There's one that helps defray 411 00:35:32,078 --> 00:35:34,793 the cost of an environmental site assessment, which is a 412 00:35:34,798 --> 00:35:38,276 little bit higher. I think maybe $20,000. That a property 413 00:35:38,681 --> 00:35:43,733 could obtain. But each one has its own amount. The 414 00:35:44,098 --> 00:35:51,463 final question, Mr. Mayor. Do you have any idea? There's 415 00:35:52,148 --> 00:35:57,463 1000 businesses lapped and source or more. And if they 416 00:35:57,548 --> 00:36:01,183 apply, council must then have an amount of money in 417 00:36:01,588 --> 00:36:04,503 budget to cover this. What? Are we talking about a 418 00:36:04,548 --> 00:36:07,863 million dollars in the budget to cover all these expenses, 419 00:36:08,228 --> 00:36:12,687 or are we. Talking 500. We're talking 200,000. What you 420 00:36:12,772 --> 00:36:17,591 figure? Will be where we set for the first term. 421 00:36:18,815 --> 00:36:21,050 So through you, worship, that's going to ultimately be up 422 00:36:21,095 --> 00:36:23,210 to council. That's one. Of the things you'll see when 423 00:36:24,015 --> 00:36:30,861 you get your budget binders this week. One of the 424 00:36:31,226 --> 00:36:33,541 decision points that needs to be made in this 2024 425 00:36:33,906 --> 00:36:36,621 budget is how much money do you want to commit 426 00:36:37,226 --> 00:36:40,581 on a yearly basis? These programs typically run based on 427 00:36:41,186 --> 00:36:43,941 a set amount of money in any given year. And 428 00:36:43,986 --> 00:36:48,792 when that money runs out, Then. Any applications would have 429 00:36:49,117 --> 00:36:53,778 to be done the next year or whatever. And remember, 430 00:36:54,183 --> 00:36:58,658 these programs are, for instance, a facade. Grant is somebody 431 00:36:58,743 --> 00:37:01,298 that wants to redo the front of their building would 432 00:37:01,383 --> 00:37:06,428 apply, so we typically wouldn't see. A whole influx. There 433 00:37:06,433 --> 00:37:09,388 might be maybe a few more applicants at the first 434 00:37:09,713 --> 00:37:13,342 year or two, but. Typically, it just becomes a steady 435 00:37:13,707 --> 00:37:17,660 rate. And the number you put in each year covers 436 00:37:18,465 --> 00:37:22,020 the program, so it's not like you. Should expect a 437 00:37:22,065 --> 00:37:24,300 million dollars to have to go flowing out the door 438 00:37:24,665 --> 00:37:26,420 right off the bat. I think it'll be a much 439 00:37:26,465 --> 00:37:30,834 slower pace. And again. Some of the programs, like the 440 00:37:31,159 --> 00:37:38,815 planner mentioned, environmental remediation. Those. Are pretty. One off programs. 441 00:37:39,100 --> 00:37:41,913 We wouldn't see a lot of those if ever. Vehicle 442 00:37:41,998 --> 00:37:45,993 chargers is a program there to help fund those. Again, 443 00:37:46,638 --> 00:37:48,153 how many people are going to run out and buy 444 00:37:48,478 --> 00:37:50,673 chargers. Because we have this program, there will be some 445 00:37:50,718 --> 00:37:52,433 that will think it's. A good idea. And that's where 446 00:37:52,838 --> 00:37:56,024 we want to be, there to help. So it can 447 00:37:56,069 --> 00:37:59,576 be a controlled kind of flow of money. Each year. 448 00:38:00,863 --> 00:38:07,839 Worship through you to whomever can answer. This is the 449 00:38:08,244 --> 00:38:10,879 plan that we had the presentation for in the last 450 00:38:11,284 --> 00:38:14,399 meeting that had the boundaries. On it and for whatever 451 00:38:14,844 --> 00:38:20,856 reason. In my agenda. That boundary page won't open, so 452 00:38:21,221 --> 00:38:24,096 there hasn't been any changes. Made to those boundaries from 453 00:38:24,381 --> 00:38:27,913 when we seen them in the presentation. Mr. Mayor, there 454 00:38:28,238 --> 00:38:33,364 was one change that was made. In the ipper Wash 455 00:38:33,409 --> 00:38:38,593 area. We set the boundaries to match the official plan 456 00:38:38,998 --> 00:38:45,724 designation. The official plan. Commercial designations. So we found one 457 00:38:46,489 --> 00:38:50,044 property in Ipperwash, where it was in two different designations, 458 00:38:50,169 --> 00:38:52,764 because the lakeside of the property was in a sort 459 00:38:52,769 --> 00:38:57,051 of hazard designation. So we corrected the map to include 460 00:38:57,656 --> 00:39:00,146 the whole property. That's the only change that was made 461 00:39:00,471 --> 00:39:04,061 to the maps. So I do see in appendix B. 462 00:39:07,614 --> 00:39:10,969 Built heritage and cultural landscape resources, but there's a bunch 463 00:39:10,974 --> 00:39:16,239 of individual properties listed in communities. And just scrolling to 464 00:39:16,964 --> 00:39:24,269 the. Founding of Bedford sign. And the grand trunk storage 465 00:39:24,314 --> 00:39:26,149 shed are there, but they were already in the original 466 00:39:26,474 --> 00:39:30,390 boundary area. And I'm not embarrassed to admit the site 467 00:39:30,475 --> 00:39:33,670 of Elijah Monger in witter. I don't even know where 468 00:39:34,035 --> 00:39:35,790 that is, but I know witter is not even in 469 00:39:36,195 --> 00:39:41,650 Tedford. So it's obviously outside of the area. That was 470 00:39:41,775 --> 00:39:47,087 highlighted. And I know we had a presentation from a 471 00:39:47,092 --> 00:39:50,825 person from the legion. And the legions were brought up, 472 00:39:51,150 --> 00:39:55,665 but the Fedford Legion is the old farmer at residence 473 00:39:55,990 --> 00:40:00,337 from world War II. And if Elijah's place is a 474 00:40:00,382 --> 00:40:07,221 significant heritage point, I would assume the farmer. At residence 475 00:40:07,506 --> 00:40:11,581 from World War II would have a significant heritage to 476 00:40:11,906 --> 00:40:14,880 the community. I know there's many books written about it, 477 00:40:15,165 --> 00:40:19,069 or several I've seen. And it's not just the legion 478 00:40:19,114 --> 00:40:21,749 now, but it's the history of what that. Building represented 479 00:40:22,114 --> 00:40:25,149 during the war, where the ladies came and they worked 480 00:40:25,234 --> 00:40:27,767 in the fields because the men were gone. Was there 481 00:40:28,132 --> 00:40:32,253 any, like, who picked what sites were in here? You, 482 00:40:32,338 --> 00:40:38,328 mr. Mayor. So there's the one program is the built 483 00:40:38,453 --> 00:40:44,545 heritage program. And that money. Is intended. To help restore. 484 00:40:45,372 --> 00:40:50,562 Buildings with heritage value. Or to renovate to make accessible 485 00:40:50,607 --> 00:40:59,605 for heritage value. To be eligible for that program. You 486 00:40:59,571 --> 00:41:03,045 have to be either part of the historic commercial blocks 487 00:41:03,690 --> 00:41:13,565 in Arcon. Arcona. Or forest. Or. You have to be 488 00:41:14,010 --> 00:41:18,371 on that list and within the project boundary. So that 489 00:41:18,696 --> 00:41:21,971 list comes from our official plan. The official plan lists 490 00:41:22,616 --> 00:41:26,851 a number of properties and structures. And other features that. 491 00:41:28,106 --> 00:41:31,501 Are identified as in the official plans having potential historic 492 00:41:31,866 --> 00:41:41,854 value. The intent. Of 493 00:41:42,219 --> 00:41:46,912 the appendix b. In the community improvement plan is not 494 00:41:47,317 --> 00:41:51,272 that every item on that list would be eligible for 495 00:41:51,677 --> 00:41:58,121 the community improvement plan. Funding that's available. But that those 496 00:41:58,206 --> 00:42:02,615 that are within. The community improvement Plan project boundaries those 497 00:42:03,260 --> 00:42:13,248 commercial areas. Would be eligible for funding. So 498 00:42:13,693 --> 00:42:19,039 does anybody know where Elijah places at wetter? Like, what 499 00:42:19,124 --> 00:42:26,983 property is that? Mr mayor. Quite frankly, I've read through 500 00:42:27,028 --> 00:42:30,664 that list. At various times in the past. I don't 501 00:42:30,709 --> 00:42:35,321 know where all those features would be located. And. I 502 00:42:35,326 --> 00:42:39,719 don't know the source of who produced that list. So 503 00:42:39,844 --> 00:42:41,639 again, another follow up. I guess we could find out 504 00:42:41,924 --> 00:42:46,484 in the future where that is, but. For. A property. 505 00:42:47,223 --> 00:42:51,338 With significant history, like the farmer at residents. How would 506 00:42:51,383 --> 00:43:00,211 they go about having that added to this? List. So, 507 00:43:00,736 --> 00:43:06,046 Mr. Mayor, through you. Just to clarify. Is the question. 508 00:43:06,451 --> 00:43:09,406 How would we have them added to the list in 509 00:43:09,451 --> 00:43:13,912 the official plan? Or added to a list of projects 510 00:43:14,197 --> 00:43:18,632 that would be eligible for the CIP. Sorry through your 511 00:43:18,717 --> 00:43:26,880 worship, but just try to phrase this. If the management 512 00:43:26,925 --> 00:43:29,600 or current operator of that property was interested in doing 513 00:43:29,605 --> 00:43:32,200 this, what would be the process for them to end 514 00:43:32,245 --> 00:43:33,880 up on this list. Do they have to do that 515 00:43:33,925 --> 00:43:38,900 through official plan? Or is there another government entity that. 516 00:43:39,938 --> 00:43:43,653 They have to show that this is historically significant building 517 00:43:44,058 --> 00:43:49,049 or what's that process? Mr. Mayor. So to get on 518 00:43:49,094 --> 00:43:51,329 that list, then I would suggest we're in the process. 519 00:43:51,414 --> 00:43:57,781 Of doing an official plan review. And that. They could 520 00:43:58,426 --> 00:44:00,221 request to be on that list, and if they can 521 00:44:00,266 --> 00:44:07,414 provide the background information. That supports that. Then we'd be 522 00:44:07,459 --> 00:44:13,705 happy. To look further at that. Just to clarify, this 523 00:44:14,070 --> 00:44:21,128 list is a list of potential. Historically significant properties. There's 524 00:44:21,573 --> 00:44:25,528 another step under the Ontario Heritage act to actually be 525 00:44:25,613 --> 00:44:30,048 designated as a heritage property. Under the Ontario Heritage Act. 526 00:44:33,053 --> 00:44:36,671 So we have not done that. There are no properties 527 00:44:37,076 --> 00:44:41,191 designated that way in the municipality, but the official plan 528 00:44:42,036 --> 00:44:46,071 does list properties that it considers to be of potential 529 00:44:46,396 --> 00:44:56,270 heritage value. Any other questions regarding. The adoption of the 530 00:44:56,275 --> 00:45:04,422 plan. Councilor. Motion to accept, except. 531 00:45:06,245 --> 00:45:13,487 Second by council Ferguson. Any questions? All in favor? Thank 532 00:45:13,892 --> 00:45:23,832 you. Port 9.7 is. The. Cost. Apportioning memorandum of understanding 533 00:45:24,077 --> 00:45:28,426 what the St. Clair Conservation authority. Outlines there what programs 534 00:45:28,791 --> 00:45:31,946 that we would be looking to fund outside of the 535 00:45:32,351 --> 00:45:39,279 perm. So, you, worship. This report is similar to the 536 00:45:39,524 --> 00:45:44,895 one you received for the established Bayfield. However, to a 537 00:45:44,900 --> 00:45:48,984 much lesser dollar value based on. Our apportionments within each 538 00:45:49,389 --> 00:45:54,610 watershed. As council recalls, the conservation authorities have been their 539 00:45:54,655 --> 00:45:58,886 funding has been cut back a fair bit through. A 540 00:45:58,931 --> 00:46:03,164 couple of different pieces of legislation. This report pertains to 541 00:46:03,209 --> 00:46:07,524 what they call category three projects, which are projects that 542 00:46:07,569 --> 00:46:13,311 they would like to offer. Within our municipality, but ones 543 00:46:13,356 --> 00:46:17,671 that we need to agree to and provide some funding 544 00:46:17,716 --> 00:46:20,671 for, not 100% of the funding, but some funding for 545 00:46:21,036 --> 00:46:26,058 so. They're totally optional. We can opt out and say, 546 00:46:26,103 --> 00:46:28,778 no, we don't want any of those tree planting education. 547 00:46:29,623 --> 00:46:33,637 That type of thing in Lampton shores. Staff's recommending that 548 00:46:33,642 --> 00:46:36,197 we go ahead with the agreement, the same as we 549 00:46:36,242 --> 00:46:38,797 did with the assault bay field. Frankly, we don't think 550 00:46:38,842 --> 00:46:44,079 we can provide that programming. For the roughly $10,000 that. 551 00:46:45,233 --> 00:46:48,526 They are able to offer it to us for. So 552 00:46:48,931 --> 00:46:52,913 happy to answer any questions. Thank you, Councilor Scott. We'll 553 00:46:53,238 --> 00:47:03,205 move that one. Second. Council McGuire.

Through the mayor? Yes. There will be 564 00:48:09,069 --> 00:48:13,956 a report presented at the next council meeting. That will 565 00:48:14,081 --> 00:48:17,348 refer to the request from the art center. Thank you. 566 00:48:18,852 --> 00:48:24,745 Any other questions? All in favor? Thank you. Nine point 567 00:48:25,150 --> 00:48:32,800 ten. Is the request for? The community vibrancy. Small projects, 568 00:48:33,485 --> 00:48:36,280 and the list is there. And Councilor Bailey has filed 569 00:48:36,645 --> 00:48:45,058 a notice of declaration. For the. Sunset. Sounds good enough. 570 00:48:47,083 --> 00:48:57,082 Recommendations there that we approve. $36,561.85. Moved by 571 00:48:57,407 --> 00:49:01,442 Councilor Scott, second by councilor Guire. Any questions on those? 572 00:49:03,489 --> 00:49:09,005 Councilor Woodcocks. So one of the. That's your worship. Segregated 573 00:49:09,290 --> 00:49:13,005 reserve fund created from the vibrancy fund. So what percentage 574 00:49:13,050 --> 00:49:19,105 of the total fund is that right now. Okay. Roughly 575 00:49:19,470 --> 00:49:26,489 does not. Have to look it up. But this was 576 00:49:26,854 --> 00:49:36,447 presented previously to counsel. But that being said, those numbers 577 00:49:36,852 --> 00:49:40,487 could be altered or changed at council's will in the 578 00:49:40,492 --> 00:49:47,322 future, more or less. Whatever. Through your worship. Yes, council 579 00:49:47,607 --> 00:49:55,359 has the discretion to do that. Mr. Scott. Any money 580 00:49:55,724 --> 00:49:59,279 that still comes in from next era, are we apportioning 581 00:49:59,284 --> 00:50:01,999 half of it? To the investment and half of it 582 00:50:02,724 --> 00:50:06,920 to the funds. That can be used. Is that our 583 00:50:07,285 --> 00:50:10,421 ongoing plan? You, worship. Yes, it was the plan. Thank 584 00:50:10,826 --> 00:50:20,448 you. Any other questions on those? All in favor? 585 00:50:21,916 --> 00:50:29,861 Thank you. Item nine. Point. Just to be clear, I'm 586 00:50:29,866 --> 00:50:35,760 not sure, maybe I may assert. I thought you had 587 00:50:35,845 --> 00:50:41,497 moved the 36,561. Oh, yes, I'm sorry. We just would 588 00:50:41,502 --> 00:50:43,617 like a little some direction on a couple of other. 589 00:50:46,147 --> 00:50:46,822 Everything. My bad. 590 00:50:57,637 --> 00:51:03,888 Mr. Scott. Use your microphone, please. 591 00:51:08,296 --> 00:51:13,009 Use your microphone, please. Are we doing them individually or 592 00:51:13,654 --> 00:51:15,969 are we going to? Because some are asking to provide 593 00:51:16,454 --> 00:51:23,366 direction, some are asking to segregate and then 50%. So 594 00:51:23,931 --> 00:51:25,926 I think that we should be looking at them individually. 595 00:51:27,781 --> 00:51:36,875 As opposed to passing them all at once. Right now. 596 00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:43,112 We've approved the 36,561. The next. That is the request 597 00:51:43,437 --> 00:51:51,652 for the forest Friday friends for $8,575. Maguire, second by 598 00:51:51,697 --> 00:52:01,631 Councilor Ferguson. Any questions? All in favor? Thank you.

That 50% of the annual amount 606 00:52:45,554 --> 00:52:49,700 received from next therapy allocated to the segregated fund. My 607 00:52:49,745 --> 00:52:55,010 councilor Ferguson. Second by Councilor Scott. Any questions? All in 608 00:52:55,415 --> 00:53:03,675 favor? Thank you. Moving on. Nine point eleven. Regarding the 609 00:53:03,720 --> 00:53:07,795 supplementary tax write off. Tax billings and write offs be 610 00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:17,255 approved. Move by councilor Wilcox.

Obligation policy. 614 00:53:40,091 --> 00:53:45,580 Pardon me. Be approved. Move by Councilor Dodge, second by 615 00:53:45,625 --> 00:53:53,068 Councilor Bailey. Any questions on that report? All in favor? 616 00:53:53,553 --> 00:54:03,336 Thank you. 9.13. Is an experience Ontario grant program. Who 617 00:54:03,381 --> 00:54:08,358 by councilor Wilcox, second by deputy mayor Sageman. Any questions 618 00:54:08,763 --> 00:54:14,543 on the report? Councilor Bailey. So we apply on behalf 619 00:54:15,148 --> 00:54:19,263 of. In cooperation, as leads for the candidate, a committee 620 00:54:19,268 --> 00:54:22,965 for Grand Bend. If will the decision one way or 621 00:54:23,330 --> 00:54:28,251 the other. Impact. Anything in the budget. I think we 622 00:54:28,616 --> 00:54:34,629 talked about needing extra washrooms that time, that day. Are 623 00:54:34,674 --> 00:54:38,471 we? Able to rob from Peter when we pay Paul. 624 00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:42,795 Through your worship. I'll just add the director fir and 625 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:46,387 I have been working with the committee. And going over 626 00:54:46,752 --> 00:54:49,867 their budget to make sure they have enough funds to 627 00:54:50,272 --> 00:54:54,200 provide what they need for the program. The intent would 628 00:54:54,245 --> 00:54:56,440 be, if we're the lead on this, we maintain the 629 00:54:56,725 --> 00:55:01,858 funds until they prove to us the expenses. Any other 630 00:55:02,263 --> 00:55:11,516 questions? All in favor? Thank you. 9.15. 631 00:55:12,803 --> 00:55:16,558 We have an updated 2024 fees and charges by law, 632 00:55:17,283 --> 00:55:21,864 which outlines our new fees going forward. Moved by councilor 633 00:55:22,229 --> 00:55:29,332 Bailey. Second by Councilor Ferguson questions Councilor Bailey. Do we 634 00:55:29,337 --> 00:55:32,892 wish to put a date on discussing parking? That's a 635 00:55:32,897 --> 00:55:37,716 big chunk of the bylaw revenues. And so it seems 636 00:55:37,761 --> 00:55:40,876 to me it's a rampant conversation piece about the 15 637 00:55:40,921 --> 00:55:45,227 August and maybe. We could. When are we slated to 638 00:55:45,272 --> 00:55:50,250 review the specifics on parking rates and regulations? You, Mr. 639 00:55:50,615 --> 00:55:55,050 Mernt, is to have the discussion before the May 15 640 00:55:55,375 --> 00:56:03,525 implementation of parking rates. So. It'd be probably February or 641 00:56:03,930 --> 00:56:07,411 March. Supplementary. What about it? As it impacts on budget, 642 00:56:08,136 --> 00:56:10,931 would it be prudent to have it? At that. Within 643 00:56:11,296 --> 00:56:16,482 that, it's a big chunk of change. Should we do 644 00:56:16,767 --> 00:56:26,331 it before budget or during budget? Ultimately 645 00:56:26,736 --> 00:56:28,611 council's decision, when they'd like to do it, I would 646 00:56:29,336 --> 00:56:34,641 suggest. It will probably take a bit of work on 647 00:56:35,006 --> 00:56:38,201 those staff parts and council parts to mix it. Right 648 00:56:38,286 --> 00:56:44,405 into the middle of budget discussions. Might protract our deliberations, 649 00:56:44,490 --> 00:56:49,387 but it's up to council. Whatever they like. I almost 650 00:56:49,752 --> 00:56:56,423 hate to say this. So when we travel, we're in 651 00:56:56,428 --> 00:56:58,743 Niagara on the lake and the on street parking was 652 00:56:58,788 --> 00:57:01,743 515 an hour. I almost wet myself. And then at 653 00:57:01,788 --> 00:57:04,343 Sabble beach, it's $7 an hour, and I hate to 654 00:57:04,388 --> 00:57:06,223 think that they get all the value in grand bend 655 00:57:06,508 --> 00:57:09,489 and don't have to pay for it. So if there's 656 00:57:09,574 --> 00:57:11,849 a push comes to shove, if we can get parking 657 00:57:12,214 --> 00:57:14,529 revenues instead of on the mill rate. Perhaps that's the 658 00:57:14,534 --> 00:57:17,973 best way to go. That's an opinion and a question. 659 00:57:18,258 --> 00:57:20,613 Should we go and review the parking fees first before. 660 00:57:21,018 --> 00:57:24,133 We do it as budgeter and have an intent to 661 00:57:24,458 --> 00:57:28,852 raise the parking revenues. There. 662 00:57:34,565 --> 00:57:35,800 's a motion on the floor right now. 663 00:57:46,541 --> 00:57:49,256 You can add to it if you like. I guess 664 00:57:49,621 --> 00:57:53,616 the ad would be subsequent to reviewing parking. Rates before 665 00:57:54,061 --> 00:58:01,657 budgets finalized. I'm looking for help on this one. 666 00:58:04,687 --> 00:58:10,421 Second or for that motion? Council mcguire. Do we need 667 00:58:10,826 --> 00:58:18,054 further explanation or consultation? Discussion. So, you, worship. Just. I'm 668 00:58:18,059 --> 00:58:20,574 just looking at the calendar, so I believe if I'm. 669 00:58:20,579 --> 00:58:23,374 Not mistaken. Our first budget meetings, the 15th, so I 670 00:58:23,379 --> 00:58:28,264 don't think reviewing before is an option. We could present 671 00:58:29,069 --> 00:58:33,237 something. At that budget meeting. That at least could outline 672 00:58:33,562 --> 00:58:35,917 what other places are doing and that type of thing. 673 00:58:36,964 --> 00:58:40,039 We come back on Tuesday the second. So we really 674 00:58:40,124 --> 00:58:42,439 only don't even have two weeks. Prior to that meeting. 675 00:58:43,204 --> 00:58:46,239 And then we'll need an agenda for that meeting by 676 00:58:46,604 --> 00:58:52,237 the Thursday. So. I don't see it'll be tough enough 677 00:58:52,282 --> 00:58:54,837 to get it into the agenda for that meeting, let 678 00:58:55,162 --> 00:59:04,024 alone having the discussion beforehand. Through you. 679 00:59:05,657 --> 00:59:07,932 I'm thinking that if we're given the option of saying 680 00:59:08,297 --> 00:59:10,932 the mill rate, the tax increase can go down if 681 00:59:11,217 --> 00:59:15,919 the parking rates go up. That's a palletable way to 682 00:59:15,964 --> 00:59:19,496 make some decisions. If we have an understanding that there 683 00:59:19,861 --> 00:59:22,616 is room to raise our rates if we have to. 684 00:59:23,916 --> 00:59:27,246 Not that we have to. If. We don't need to, 685 00:59:27,291 --> 00:59:32,732 but. We've got capital expenditures related to parking. Somewhere along 686 00:59:33,137 --> 00:59:36,708 the line. This might be the opportunity to do it. 687 00:59:43,367 --> 00:59:47,478 Council woodocks. So, just so I understand, we're talking about 688 00:59:47,883 --> 00:59:53,238 increasing the parking rates a significant amount to. Decrease mill 689 00:59:53,603 --> 00:59:59,383 rate for taxes. Nice word, but parking, if you get 690 00:59:59,428 --> 01:00:02,143 it too expensive, you may scare people away. So you 691 01:00:02,148 --> 01:00:05,143 see. An uptick, then you see a downfall. And parking 692 01:00:05,228 --> 01:00:09,143 is not guaranteed revenue. One thing taxes are. Guaranteed revenue. 693 01:00:09,428 --> 01:00:11,783 The buildings there, people are paying taxes on it. Parking 694 01:00:12,108 --> 01:00:17,586 you get if people come. So I don't think we 695 01:00:17,911 --> 01:00:20,746 rely on the parking revenues the year we collect them 696 01:00:21,591 --> 01:00:28,188 for. The budget year. They're in. Those revenues. We find 697 01:00:28,433 --> 01:00:29,508 out at the end of the year how much money 698 01:00:29,913 --> 01:00:32,068 that was. So we're kind of basing our budget off 699 01:00:32,113 --> 01:00:34,788 the year before. Not what it might be that year. 700 01:00:35,970 --> 01:00:39,099 So I don't see any urgency. Different from the timeline. 701 01:00:40,851 --> 01:00:45,536 That the director said. For when we could have this 702 01:00:45,621 --> 01:00:48,696 discussion. It's a good discussion to have. I'm not saying 703 01:00:49,061 --> 01:00:51,776 not to, but I don't see any real urgency before 704 01:00:52,141 --> 01:00:54,791 budget to do it. And that's on that motion. But 705 01:00:55,076 --> 01:01:00,021 we have another motion on the table. We're juggling. So 706 01:01:00,426 --> 01:01:05,257 the other one is the fees. And I'm always good 707 01:01:05,302 --> 01:01:09,257 with red and black, so was there any significant increases 708 01:01:09,702 --> 01:01:14,195 on that? Fees chart. I don't think there was. It 709 01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:17,955 was all so I see. Nodding. So we're good there? 710 01:01:18,905 --> 01:01:22,143 And that's my input on the other motion. You, Mr. 711 01:01:22,548 --> 01:01:25,303 Mayor. So we don't have two motions on the floor, 712 01:01:25,628 --> 01:01:28,223 we have one on the floor moved by councilor Bailey. 713 01:01:28,508 --> 01:01:31,343 It was originally seconded by Councillor Ferguson that the fees 714 01:01:31,388 --> 01:01:34,903 and charges by Lopi received. And then I've added an 715 01:01:34,908 --> 01:01:38,103 event that the parking rates be reviewed during budget discussions, 716 01:01:38,868 --> 01:01:43,813 and we. 'd need both mover and seconder to agree 717 01:01:43,898 --> 01:01:45,653 with that. And then that the fees and charges by 718 01:01:45,938 --> 01:01:53,468 law be approved. Are you seconding? 719 01:01:56,931 --> 01:02:01,948 Or you have a question? Sure. I want to talk 720 01:02:01,993 --> 01:02:10,356 about the first part. Of the motion. Fees. It says. 721 01:02:11,628 --> 01:02:14,376 They won't be too high. What are we raising on 722 01:02:14,821 --> 01:02:20,704 what? We have 20 things, and they're all going up 723 01:02:21,069 --> 01:02:28,046 by 1%. What's going up by 1%. I don't need 724 01:02:28,131 --> 01:02:31,211 a whole list. Is there some way that we know. 725 01:02:32,796 --> 01:02:36,685 What we raised. It says no water rates, no sewer 726 01:02:36,730 --> 01:02:43,109 rates were affected. What are we affecting by small percentage 727 01:02:43,194 --> 01:02:46,709 of raise that has nothing to do with parking in 728 01:02:47,074 --> 01:02:51,126 my mind. That's why I think the motion is there 729 01:02:51,171 --> 01:02:55,091 is a bylaw at the end that explains. That lists 730 01:02:55,056 --> 01:02:59,368 all the parking revenue. Charges all the revenue and the 731 01:02:59,453 --> 01:03:05,783 percentages increases. That's what I'm asking. So in the staff 732 01:03:06,188 --> 01:03:10,943 report, we talked about just the highlighted changes. Most line 733 01:03:11,308 --> 01:03:14,583 items did not change. I can go through an administration. 734 01:03:16,235 --> 01:03:20,670 Administration fee schedule contains fees relating to tax and utility 735 01:03:20,795 --> 01:03:26,485 counts, licensing and cemetery fees. The. Cemetery grave openings staff 736 01:03:26,570 --> 01:03:30,245 are proposing increased changes on weekends, holidays and winter openings 737 01:03:30,930 --> 01:03:35,381 to recover. The cost, so we're presently not covering our 738 01:03:35,386 --> 01:03:37,701 staff time costs, so we're increasing. Those fees to cover 739 01:03:38,106 --> 01:03:41,621 staff time. Other than that, there's no significant fee increases 740 01:03:41,946 --> 01:03:45,682 proposed in administrative fees. Then going through to building and 741 01:03:45,727 --> 01:03:49,322 bylaw. There have been no changes in the building fees 742 01:03:49,967 --> 01:03:55,120 with the exception. Of the amount. To pay if a 743 01:03:55,165 --> 01:03:59,633 building permit is withdrawn. What we found this year. That 744 01:03:59,998 --> 01:04:02,233 staff have done a lot of work in processing a 745 01:04:02,238 --> 01:04:05,983 building, a permit, and then. The applicant comes back and 746 01:04:06,028 --> 01:04:08,423 says, I don't want that permit anymore. And we spend 747 01:04:08,508 --> 01:04:10,663 lots of staff time on that, so we're changing our 748 01:04:10,708 --> 01:04:13,583 process with that and the amount that can be refunded. 749 01:04:14,598 --> 01:04:17,193 Other than that, there's no fee increases in building and 750 01:04:17,238 --> 01:04:21,787 bylaw. At this time, like we've discussed nothing proposed for 751 01:04:22,152 --> 01:04:25,867 paid parking and staff was planning on reviewing the fees 752 01:04:26,232 --> 01:04:28,827 before the 2024 parking season, but that motion is on 753 01:04:28,832 --> 01:04:34,856 the floor right now. Going through to fire services. There 754 01:04:34,901 --> 01:04:38,656 was a few fees at it. We often get requests 755 01:04:38,981 --> 01:04:44,349 for certificates and inspection reports. And then they're asked on 756 01:04:44,674 --> 01:04:46,909 a rush basis, so we're charging a higher fee. For 757 01:04:46,954 --> 01:04:49,349 a two day turnaround as opposed to a normal turnaround. 758 01:04:50,436 --> 01:04:54,351 There were no fee increases proposed for public works planning 759 01:04:54,396 --> 01:04:57,871 and development. There were no fee increases. Recreation fees have 760 01:04:58,196 --> 01:05:01,683 increased 3% across the board. In previous years, I believe 761 01:05:01,968 --> 01:05:04,403 they were 2% across the board, but we've looked at 762 01:05:05,168 --> 01:05:07,843 them for this year at 3% again, there'll be a 763 01:05:07,888 --> 01:05:10,443 review this year because that was one of council's strategic 764 01:05:10,528 --> 01:05:15,599 priorities to review. Parks and recreation fees and no changes 765 01:05:15,964 --> 01:05:22,634 in water, wastewater rates, fees. Thank you. So. 766 01:05:27,035 --> 01:05:31,100 The motion is. The second that an amendment that we 767 01:05:31,185 --> 01:05:35,549 vote on first. Or. All at once. Do it all 768 01:05:35,594 --> 01:05:38,626 at once. I've just added it to the motion. The 769 01:05:38,671 --> 01:05:41,226 second. That is that the parking rates be reviewed during 770 01:05:41,351 --> 01:05:46,102 budget discussions. So there are three that said we have 771 01:05:46,147 --> 01:05:50,022 a recorded vote. Mr. Mayor, certainly. Did you have a 772 01:05:50,107 --> 01:05:52,742 question, counselor. Yes. Do we have to put it all 773 01:05:52,787 --> 01:05:54,542 together, or can we just put the fees. As one 774 01:05:54,587 --> 01:05:58,636 and then make another decision on the parking. Because it 775 01:05:58,681 --> 01:06:00,836 seems like it's an all or nothing. We're all in. 776 01:06:07,403 --> 01:06:13,213 We can do that. We'll move. That would be the 777 01:06:13,258 --> 01:06:16,133 report be received and that the fees and charges bylaw 778 01:06:16,418 --> 01:06:20,873 be approved. The existing. The one that. No recorder vote 779 01:06:21,198 --> 01:06:25,874 necessary. Thank you. So all in favor of that? Thank 780 01:06:26,279 --> 01:06:30,037 you. Councilor Bailey, you have a second motion? The motion 781 01:06:30,362 --> 01:06:32,637 would be that we include a discussion of parking revenues 782 01:06:33,002 --> 01:06:37,349 at budget. A secondary for that motion. 783 01:06:46,289 --> 01:06:54,789 Sales. Okay. Thank you. Where am I? Okay, 784 01:06:55,594 --> 01:07:01,909 9.15, the Wakefield drain they received and that spree associates 785 01:07:02,714 --> 01:07:05,389 be notified of the additional petitioners to be included in 786 01:07:05,394 --> 01:07:08,109 the drainage area for the Wakefield drain originally submitted by 787 01:07:08,394 --> 01:07:13,809 the municipality. Moved by Councilor Dodge, second by Deputy Mayor 788 01:07:14,134 --> 01:07:18,630 Sageman. Any questions on that? All in favor? Thank you. 789 01:07:19,953 --> 01:07:22,668 Item ten, we do not have any notices of motions. 790 01:07:23,033 --> 01:07:26,911 Item eleven, we do not have any emergent. Issues. We 791 01:07:26,956 --> 01:07:30,738 do have a closed session to go into. Now or 792 01:07:31,143 --> 01:07:33,858 later? Now. Okay. We will be moving into closed session 793 01:07:34,583 --> 01:07:37,738 at eight. Seven. Get a motion. To move in close 794 01:07:38,063 --> 01:07:43,098 session. Councilor Ferguson, Councilor McGuire, all in favor? Thank you. 795 01:07:44,139 --> 01:07:48,387 Yeah, we'll take five minutes. To set up for that. 796 01:07:48,832 --> 01:07:55,373 Thanks. Robbie. 797 01:07:59,687 --> 01:08:01,162 You'd have to check with the clerk in order to 798 01:08:01,207 --> 01:08:05,525 get on the engine. Good. How are you guys already?
