00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,800
report

137
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,320
thank you madam chair uh this is in

138
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,360
continuation to some previous reports

139
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,280
the staff brought forward

140
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:50,400
um in response to Bill 109 which as you

141
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,960
can see in the report

142
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,780
um serves to shorten timelines for

143
00:05:54,780 --> 00:05:57,479
processing planning applications

144
00:05:57,479 --> 00:05:58,919
um you'll recall a few months ago we

145
00:05:58,919 --> 00:06:00,180
brought a report forward which is

146
00:06:00,180 --> 00:06:01,740
attached as an appendix to this board

147
00:06:01,740 --> 00:06:04,860
about report about how we expedite some

148
00:06:04,860 --> 00:06:06,479
of the planning processes and look at

149
00:06:06,479 --> 00:06:08,699
enhancements in terms of how we conduct

150
00:06:08,699 --> 00:06:11,520
those processes and move things along uh

151
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,380
recognizing that we don't have as long

152
00:06:13,380 --> 00:06:15,900
once we deem an application complete so

153
00:06:15,900 --> 00:06:17,340
some of the measures you see in this

154
00:06:17,340 --> 00:06:19,560
report that we're bringing forward

155
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,199
tonight are more on the pre-consultation

156
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:24,120
stage so at the very beginning the

157
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,699
outset before a actual application is

158
00:06:26,699 --> 00:06:29,520
even submitted we've looked at how we go

159
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,199
through the pre-consultation process

160
00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:33,120
looking at better delineating you know

161
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,860
there's certain instances where there

162
00:06:34,860 --> 00:06:36,539
are more major applications that require

163
00:06:36,539 --> 00:06:39,240
a little bit higher level of rigor a

164
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,800
little bit more in terms of deliverable

165
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,419
deliverable goals that we don't normally

166
00:06:42,419 --> 00:06:45,240
ask for right at the outset and really

167
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,580
the intent of that is to ensure that as

168
00:06:47,580 --> 00:06:49,259
we get into the actual application

169
00:06:49,259 --> 00:06:52,380
itself subsequently that there would be

170
00:06:52,380 --> 00:06:54,000
less back and forth between the town and

171
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,180
the applicant less resubmissions the end

172
00:06:57,180 --> 00:07:00,000
goal is to arrive at a better product

173
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,520
from the get-go even before we deem the

174
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,020
application complete

175
00:07:04,020 --> 00:07:06,960
so we've been looking at updating some

176
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,699
of our deliverables and what we require

177
00:07:08,699 --> 00:07:10,319
for those which are outlined in this

178
00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:13,800
report as well as looking at how we deem

179
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,539
an application complete too so not only

180
00:07:15,539 --> 00:07:17,520
are we asking for certain deliverables

181
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,080
as we do now in the pre-consultations

182
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,660
but in conjunction with some work that's

183
00:07:21,660 --> 00:07:22,919
been done around the region with

184
00:07:22,919 --> 00:07:24,539
regional staff and staff from other

185
00:07:24,539 --> 00:07:26,580
lower tier municipalities we've looked

186
00:07:26,580 --> 00:07:28,460
at standardizing some terms of reference

187
00:07:28,460 --> 00:07:31,319
for typical deliverables for planning

188
00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:33,120
applications things like your traffic

189
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,520
impact assessment your functional

190
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,740
servicing reports those main components

191
00:07:37,740 --> 00:07:39,300
to make sure that we're better outlining

192
00:07:39,300 --> 00:07:41,340
what constitutes an actual deliverable

193
00:07:41,340 --> 00:07:44,280
currently right now the way it goes is

194
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,319
um a lot of times when we get these

195
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:47,759
submission requirements they're not

196
00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:50,520
quite in line with what uh you know the

197
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,940
deliverables that staff had in mind

198
00:07:52,940 --> 00:07:55,199
there's some discrepancies sometimes

199
00:07:55,199 --> 00:07:56,940
there's incomplete information so these

200
00:07:56,940 --> 00:07:58,919
terms of reference that the idea is that

201
00:07:58,919 --> 00:08:02,220
they will guide uh production of better

202
00:08:02,220 --> 00:08:03,660
documents with the appropriate

203
00:08:03,660 --> 00:08:05,220
information from the get-go without

204
00:08:05,220 --> 00:08:08,580
having to go back and forth another big

205
00:08:08,580 --> 00:08:10,680
piece to this is just in terms of how we

206
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,300
deal with the public consultation piece

207
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:15,120
right now uh when we deem an application

208
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,979
complete we schedule for things like

209
00:08:16,979 --> 00:08:18,479
zoning bylaw amendments and official

210
00:08:18,479 --> 00:08:20,940
plan amendments an open house which is a

211
00:08:20,940 --> 00:08:23,039
non-statutory requirement that's over

212
00:08:23,039 --> 00:08:24,660
and above what the planning act requires

213
00:08:24,660 --> 00:08:27,539
and the statutory public meeting we

214
00:08:27,539 --> 00:08:29,160
looked at varying ways in which we do

215
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,259
this moving forward some municipalities

216
00:08:31,259 --> 00:08:33,180
even bring you know they bring the

217
00:08:33,180 --> 00:08:35,399
statutory public meeting and the staff

218
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:36,959
recommendation forward the very same

219
00:08:36,959 --> 00:08:40,680
night which you know staff didn't don't

220
00:08:40,680 --> 00:08:42,599
really agree with that approach just

221
00:08:42,599 --> 00:08:44,099
because if there is anything that comes

222
00:08:44,099 --> 00:08:45,300
out of the dialogue for the public

223
00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:47,339
meeting there's no opportunity to

224
00:08:47,339 --> 00:08:48,899
address it so what we're proposing is

225
00:08:48,899 --> 00:08:53,160
that we move the open house up to uh

226
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,560
being undertaken before we actually

227
00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:57,480
receive a complete application that is

228
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:58,920
actually a requirement to have those

229
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,380
meetings minted we still work with the

230
00:09:01,380 --> 00:09:03,360
applicant to circulate the same

231
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,360
residence counselors uh the agencies

232
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:07,560
that would have been circulated in the

233
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:08,700
first place but we're going to be asking

234
00:09:08,700 --> 00:09:11,519
for it to be completed in advance of the

235
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:13,860
actual application process starting

236
00:09:13,860 --> 00:09:16,440
so that's a big change and really what

237
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,180
that does is that allows us to move when

238
00:09:18,180 --> 00:09:20,279
we hold the statutory public meeting up

239
00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:22,380
further in the process so that we can

240
00:09:22,380 --> 00:09:23,760
still come back with a subsequent

241
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,000
recommendation at a different night so

242
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,220
those are some of the main measures that

243
00:09:29,220 --> 00:09:31,200
we're proposing just again looking at

244
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,880
process enhancements and trying to stick

245
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,920
handle planning applications a little

246
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,180
bit better given the more tight

247
00:09:36,180 --> 00:09:38,820
turnaround timelines for Bill 109 so

248
00:09:38,820 --> 00:09:42,050
happy to answer any questions

249
00:09:42,060 --> 00:09:44,459
thank you very much director Broder do

250
00:09:44,459 --> 00:09:45,660
any of council have questions they'd

251
00:09:45,660 --> 00:09:54,829
like to bring forward at this time

252
00:09:54,839 --> 00:09:58,790
councilor Reimer

253
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,910
yeah I don't know which

254
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:07,850
yeah which one

255
00:10:07,860 --> 00:10:14,030
sure

256
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,040
okay just didn't hold it long enough

257
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,080
no problem thank you chair

258
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,940
uh

259
00:10:20,940 --> 00:10:22,860
thank you for this report to uh to

260
00:10:22,860 --> 00:10:24,540
Melissa and to Matt just a question

261
00:10:24,540 --> 00:10:26,760
regarding on page two

262
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,820
um the uh the province is going to

263
00:10:29,820 --> 00:10:32,399
prescribe municipalities where

264
00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:33,120
um

265
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,580
refunding is not going to apply

266
00:10:35,580 --> 00:10:38,600
and uh as such we are not among those

267
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,560
prescribed do we know has there been a

268
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:43,500
date set for that or is there any more

269
00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:46,380
any more clarity in the fog

270
00:10:46,380 --> 00:10:49,880
screw you uh chair Marie

271
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,380
thanks for the reminder counselor

272
00:10:52,380 --> 00:10:53,519
because I was going to touch on that in

273
00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:55,620
my opening comments you're right Bill 97

274
00:10:55,620 --> 00:10:57,360
kind of proposed that flexibility in

275
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,339
terms of there might be municipalities

276
00:10:59,339 --> 00:11:01,200
where this whole refund of planning

277
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,839
applications don't apply they can be

278
00:11:03,839 --> 00:11:05,279
named by the province but no

279
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:06,959
municipalities have been added to that

280
00:11:06,959 --> 00:11:09,180
list to date we haven't heard anything

281
00:11:09,180 --> 00:11:12,480
further in that regard so July 1st is

282
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,399
the implementation of of Bill 109

283
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:16,440
timelines but uh you know we've been

284
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,000
waiting to see if there's been any input

285
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,860
in that regard we in the comments and I

286
00:11:19,860 --> 00:11:22,079
know in grimsby's comments as well you

287
00:11:22,079 --> 00:11:23,399
know municipalities that are generally

288
00:11:23,399 --> 00:11:26,519
smaller under 75 000 people we suggested

289
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:27,959
that that should be you know the rough

290
00:11:27,959 --> 00:11:30,240
criteria in terms of maybe those were

291
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,740
planning application

292
00:11:31,740 --> 00:11:33,899
fees aren't refunded just because from a

293
00:11:33,899 --> 00:11:35,940
resource standpoint an impact standpoint

294
00:11:35,940 --> 00:11:40,069
but again haven't heard anything yet

295
00:11:40,079 --> 00:11:42,899
okay thank you councilor uh chair Marie

296
00:11:42,899 --> 00:11:48,769
thank you

297
00:11:48,779 --> 00:11:50,880
councilor timmers uh thank you very much

298
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,019
chair

299
00:11:52,019 --> 00:11:54,540
through you to director Bruder I I had

300
00:11:54,540 --> 00:11:56,640
the same question around the refunding

301
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,920
but we don't we don't need to I think

302
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,959
that was answered so I don't need to ask

303
00:12:00,959 --> 00:12:02,160
any further

304
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,140
um just around the um public

305
00:12:04,140 --> 00:12:07,140
consultation piece it makes a lot of

306
00:12:07,140 --> 00:12:09,360
sense that the open house would be held

307
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:14,459
prior to a complete application are we

308
00:12:14,459 --> 00:12:17,459
going to be uh man you said that they're

309
00:12:17,459 --> 00:12:20,880
not mandated so will we be continuing

310
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,160
and how many open houses do we typically

311
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,300
have

312
00:12:24,300 --> 00:12:25,800
I guess that's my question are we

313
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:30,769
changing that as well or

314
00:12:30,779 --> 00:12:32,279
you know Madam chair we're not changing

315
00:12:32,279 --> 00:12:33,959
the amount we're still going to be

316
00:12:33,959 --> 00:12:36,899
requiring that applicants undertake open

317
00:12:36,899 --> 00:12:38,640
houses for the same applications that

318
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,019
they were before we're just moving it to

319
00:12:40,019 --> 00:12:41,339
where it happens

320
00:12:41,339 --> 00:12:42,959
um up earlier in advance of deeming an

321
00:12:42,959 --> 00:12:44,639
application complete in some ways again

322
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:46,800
I and I think I was picking it up a

323
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:47,700
little bit in what you were saying

324
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:49,260
counselor it is a good thing just

325
00:12:49,260 --> 00:12:50,639
because you get the comments even

326
00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:52,440
earlier in the process before the

327
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,540
concepts even finalized and as a

328
00:12:54,540 --> 00:12:56,160
requirement of a complete application we

329
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,839
would require the minutes

330
00:12:57,839 --> 00:13:00,300
um the mailing list circulation lists

331
00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:01,980
and all those things that we would

332
00:13:01,980 --> 00:13:03,720
typically keep on file anyways just to

333
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,700
demonstrate that that has been done and

334
00:13:05,700 --> 00:13:08,639
it's been undertaken so still

335
00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:11,459
undertaking the same open house style uh

336
00:13:11,459 --> 00:13:13,440
one-on-one type meeting it's just going

337
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,660
to be earlier in the process okay all

338
00:13:15,660 --> 00:13:16,380
right

339
00:13:16,380 --> 00:13:18,060
perfect sense I think that'll that'll

340
00:13:18,060 --> 00:13:20,519
save you know applications from being

341
00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:23,279
sent back many many times if the all the

342
00:13:23,279 --> 00:13:25,800
you know comments and input is given up

343
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,540
front that certainly makes a lot of

344
00:13:27,540 --> 00:13:29,820
sense so thank you uh director reuter

345
00:13:29,820 --> 00:13:31,680
thank you chair

346
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:33,959
thank you councilor timmers

347
00:13:33,959 --> 00:13:36,360
uh I have no others in the queue if

348
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,940
there are no further questions

349
00:13:38,940 --> 00:13:40,740
all right I have a motion moved by

350
00:13:40,740 --> 00:13:43,019
councilor Brunet that committee receive

351
00:13:43,019 --> 00:13:46,100

and endorse the proposed updates to

355

planning application processes as

356
00:13:55,019 --> 00:13:58,970
outlined in report pd-29-23

357
00:13:58,980 --> 00:14:01,019
I will now ask our Deputy clerk to open

358
00:14:01,019 --> 00:14:02,160

the new legislation thank you

369
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,300
there being no additional reports to

370
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:28,680
consider for the planning and economic

371
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,360
development committee agenda we have now

want to bring it all back to the fact

461
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,980

462
00:18:31,980 --> 00:18:34,080
though the global pandemic was a long

463
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,700
time ago

464
00:18:35,700 --> 00:18:37,500

Open Spaces division next slide

602

our operational highlights 480 Demand

603
00:24:35,700 --> 00:24:37,919
work orders requests completed so we

604
00:24:37,919 --> 00:24:39,480
have an internal system for work

605
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,960
requests when um individuals in various

606
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,520
facilities whether it's our fire

607
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,260
stations our Fleming Center our

608
00:24:46,260 --> 00:24:47,360
libraries

609
00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:49,860
identify something that that needs done

610
00:24:49,860 --> 00:24:51,240
it could be something that needs to

611
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,220
repair it be repaired it could be

612
00:24:53,220 --> 00:24:55,020
something that we you know supplies that

613
00:24:55,020 --> 00:24:57,179
are needed more of these are our Demand

614
00:24:57,179 --> 00:24:59,100
work order requests

615
00:24:59,100 --> 00:25:01,919
we had over 7 000 routine schedules site

616
00:25:01,919 --> 00:25:03,900
visits resulting in

617
00:25:03,900 --> 00:25:06,539
over 12 000 completed inspections and

618
00:25:06,539 --> 00:25:08,820
work requests so we do have a software

619
00:25:08,820 --> 00:25:11,460
program that we input our inspections

620
00:25:11,460 --> 00:25:13,200
into and this is very important for us

621
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,200
if we ever have to produce records

622
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,940
um showing our inspections when they're

623
00:25:17,940 --> 00:25:20,100
done on the dates what was inspected in

624
00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:23,039
any of the the comments and the statuses

625
00:25:23,039 --> 00:25:25,020
and then we also added new Fleming

626
00:25:25,020 --> 00:25:27,179
Center lobby and I think most of uh

627
00:25:27,179 --> 00:25:29,039
Council has seen that it looks

628
00:25:29,039 --> 00:25:31,320
phenomenal we can wipe it down we can

629
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,860
change the configuration and we've since

630
00:25:34,860 --> 00:25:37,080
added this year I know this is a 2022

631
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,299
but we've added similar Furniture over

632
00:25:39,299 --> 00:25:44,029

00:25:49,620 --> 00:25:50,940
our parks

636
00:25:50,940 --> 00:25:53,520

638
00:25:56,820 --> 00:26:00,659

641
00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:09,600
successful in in getting five out of

643
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,380

participating in that again next year

645
00:26:17,039 --> 00:26:19,620
um I think we take a lot of pride in the

646
00:26:19,620 --> 00:26:21,299
work that's done and it's certainly nice

647
00:26:21,299 --> 00:26:23,400
to be recognized by an agency outside of

648
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:24,900

and finally our cemeteries area I I just

724
00:29:34,980 --> 00:29:37,260

725
00:29:37,260 --> 00:29:38,520
anything because I look at the before

726
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,980

727
00:29:40,980 --> 00:29:44,580

771
00:31:19,559 --> 00:31:21,960
turn it over now to council if you have

772

do council do members of council have

776
00:31:32,399 --> 00:31:34,620
any questions

777
00:31:34,620 --> 00:31:37,020
councilor Russell

778
00:31:37,020 --> 00:31:40,610

thank you Mr chair uh through you to uh

to Shannon again it's not a question

781
00:31:44,159 --> 00:31:47,580
it's just uh an observation again when

782
00:31:47,580 --> 00:31:49,380
you look at the amount of things that

783
00:31:49,380 --> 00:31:50,880
you and your team accomplished this year

784
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,340
I think any any Community any Council

785
00:31:53,340 --> 00:31:55,380
would be proud to have that done over

786
00:31:55,380 --> 00:31:58,380
the course of a term and I think uh over

787
00:31:58,380 --> 00:32:00,299
what you've done uh over the course of

788
00:32:00,299 --> 00:32:02,220
last term I think any Council or

789
00:32:02,220 --> 00:32:04,260
Community would be happy to have that

790
00:32:04,260 --> 00:32:06,179
done over the course of a couple terms

791
00:32:06,179 --> 00:32:09,419
uh every every time every example that

792
00:32:09,419 --> 00:32:11,279
there's a requirement from the community

793
00:32:11,279 --> 00:32:14,159
a request from Council from from anybody

794
00:32:14,159 --> 00:32:18,899
again you and your team are always uh so

795
00:32:18,899 --> 00:32:21,779
um immediately available uh you there's

796
00:32:21,779 --> 00:32:25,020

00:32:25,020 --> 00:32:26,220
um and I just want to let you know how

798
00:32:26,220 --> 00:32:28,140
much it's appreciated uh by myself

799
00:32:28,140 --> 00:32:29,760
probably by the rest of council as well

800
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,399
and by the community out there again if

801
00:32:32,399 --> 00:32:34,260

00:32:34,260 --> 00:32:35,820

805
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,279
reflection of the pro progress if you

806
00:32:41,279 --> 00:32:43,860

808
00:32:46,799 --> 00:32:48,600
value that Community Services brings to

809
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,220
the town of Lincoln and just want to say

there for the population we have

823
00:33:25,380 --> 00:33:28,500
um I guess my two my two interests

824
00:33:28,500 --> 00:33:30,000
um it's not really a surprise to anyone

825
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,820

826
00:33:32,820 --> 00:33:35,360

827
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,799

we are hearing from staff uh that our

836
00:33:58,320 --> 00:33:59,760
our seniors numbers are growing in and

837
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,559
that's because our community is changing

838
00:34:01,559 --> 00:34:04,080
so we we have heard and I've heard this

839
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,059
directly from Lori Laird and others that

840
00:34:06,059 --> 00:34:08,580
you know new seniors to the area have

841
00:34:08,580 --> 00:34:10,500
come in they've asked about the Lincoln

842
00:34:10,500 --> 00:34:12,480

00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,419
that particular activity is is growing

847
00:34:21,419 --> 00:34:24,179

00:34:24,179 --> 00:34:26,700
have an indoor pickleball uh court with

849
00:34:26,700 --> 00:34:28,320

857
00:34:40,500 --> 00:34:44,450

866
00:34:59,940 --> 00:35:02,280
thing we're excited about that we're

867
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,380
also adding additional programming this

868
00:35:04,380 --> 00:35:06,599
summer for the first time at the Lincoln

869
00:35:06,599 --> 00:35:09,180
Community Center By Request of many of

870
00:35:09,180 --> 00:35:12,000
the groups who typically go away for the

871
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,740
summer and don't participate but are

872
00:35:13,740 --> 00:35:15,599
wanting to so that's a great thing and

873
00:35:15,599 --> 00:35:17,700
we're we're happy to ensure that that

874
00:35:17,700 --> 00:35:20,040

hours being added this summer for those

876
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,440
groups and many of you will remember as

877
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,119
well that we were the recipient of a

878
00:35:27,119 --> 00:35:29,460
seniors Community Grant which was really

879
00:35:29,460 --> 00:35:31,740
the work of Lori Laird who applied for

880
00:35:31,740 --> 00:35:33,660
that Grant and was successful in getting

881
00:35:33,660 --> 00:35:36,900
some funding to be able to operate a

882
00:35:36,900 --> 00:35:38,280
London learned

883
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:38,880
um

884
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,339
program which was very successful over

885
00:35:41,339 --> 00:35:42,960
the fall winter months that really

886
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,240
introduced a number of our seniors to

887
00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:47,220
activities they may have never tried

888
00:35:47,220 --> 00:35:49,200
before whether it be Nordic pool walking

889
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,920
or pickleball or different activities

890
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,140
that we already have at the facility and

891
00:35:55,140 --> 00:35:56,940
some new ones as well so that helped to

892
00:35:56,940 --> 00:35:58,680
really build the interest in what's

893
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,660
going on there and we're seeing the

894
00:36:00,660 --> 00:36:02,940
benefit of that now in the membership

895
00:36:02,940 --> 00:36:04,880

Russell's uh heels two two areas that

904
00:36:27,540 --> 00:36:29,460
that I would say I've Not to take away

905
00:36:29,460 --> 00:36:32,280
from the multitude of uh numerous other

906
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,040
programs and services uh director McKay

907
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,560
but rubberized playground Services

908
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,040

909
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,079
just from people in the community who

910
00:36:43,079 --> 00:36:46,020
who would uh who would have experienced

00:36:46,020 --> 00:36:47,160
them I've experiencing with my

rubberized playgrounds another thing

917
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:57,720
just from an observation would be the

918
00:36:57,720 --> 00:37:00,720
way that our community services engages

919
00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:03,839
the public they make them feel uh part

920
00:37:03,839 --> 00:37:05,760
of the community the flag raising

921
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,320

922
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,780
these things are are are a big deal but

923
00:37:09,780 --> 00:37:11,160

924
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,260

00:37:37,140 --> 00:37:39,180
programming that they offer

938
00:37:39,180 --> 00:37:41,339
um question I have is just with regards

939
00:37:41,339 --> 00:37:42,720
you know there's a lot of talk about

940
00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:44,820
covid and its challenges and you know

941
00:37:44,820 --> 00:37:47,700
how we dealt with covet uh with our

942
00:37:47,700 --> 00:37:49,619
parks and that sort of thing and one

943
00:37:49,619 --> 00:37:51,240
thing I remember we were having was

944
00:37:51,240 --> 00:37:55,020
security guards at our parks and now we

945
00:37:55,020 --> 00:37:57,599
don't have security guards and I'm just

946
00:37:57,599 --> 00:38:00,200
wondering if there's any concern about

947
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,300
the parks and

948
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:05,280
not everybody's at the parks for the

949
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,140
right reasons and if if you're working

950
00:38:07,140 --> 00:38:09,480
with or how do we work with bylaw to

951
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,280
ensure that

952
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,940
um the right people are using the parks

953
00:38:13,940 --> 00:38:16,920
uh thank you councilor through Germany

954
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,740
to the counselor so we did have security

955
00:38:19,740 --> 00:38:21,780
during the pandemic that was mostly

956
00:38:21,780 --> 00:38:25,140
because of the restrictions on numbers

957
00:38:25,140 --> 00:38:26,940
um and we had to at some point you know

958
00:38:26,940 --> 00:38:30,180
restrict the ice the outdoor

959
00:38:30,180 --> 00:38:32,520
um rink and different spaces so that's

960
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,280
why we had security

961
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,460
um as to the right individuals visiting

962
00:38:38,460 --> 00:38:40,140
our Parks we're working very closely

963
00:38:40,140 --> 00:38:43,020
with uh both both Municipal law

964
00:38:43,020 --> 00:38:45,119
enforcement during the day when things

965
00:38:45,119 --> 00:38:49,440
happen as well as nrps we recently had a

966
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,200
meeting with CAO myself director of

967
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,180
Economic and Community Development and

968
00:38:54,180 --> 00:38:57,540
Communications just to talk about

969
00:38:57,540 --> 00:39:00,540
um you know encouraging residents to

970
00:39:00,540 --> 00:39:02,880
when they see things and and they're not

971
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,040
calling the town necessarily but when

972
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,599
they see things because they live close

973
00:39:06,599 --> 00:39:08,460
to the park that they're making the

974
00:39:08,460 --> 00:39:10,619
calls to the non-emergency nrps number

975
00:39:10,619 --> 00:39:12,780
if it's a non-emergency if it is an

976
00:39:12,780 --> 00:39:14,520
emergency where someone one could be

977
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,980
hurt some things being vandalized they

978
00:39:16,980 --> 00:39:19,800
can call the 9-1-1 number and nrps and

979
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,960
nrps has encouraged us to encourage

980
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,940
residents to do that at the time of the

981
00:39:23,940 --> 00:39:26,040
incident because it is difficult for

982
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,420
them to follow up

983
00:39:27,420 --> 00:39:30,599
we are also uh talking about potentially

984
00:39:30,599 --> 00:39:32,760
you know in the future if needed

985
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,300
surveillance in in some of our Parks

986
00:39:36,300 --> 00:39:38,520
um we currently are doing a pilot

987
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,220
project in an Ashby Drive park with

988
00:39:41,220 --> 00:39:43,619
surveillance that has proven to be quite

989
00:39:43,619 --> 00:39:47,280
successful in deterring vandalism

990
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,800
um and other activities so we continue

991
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,440
to look at you know what we can do to

992
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:56,099
ensure that these spaces remain safe for

993
00:39:56,099 --> 00:39:58,740
the the population at large for the

994
00:39:58,740 --> 00:40:00,180
visitors and for the family and we

995
00:40:00,180 --> 00:40:03,060
continue to inform nrps and work closely

996
00:40:03,060 --> 00:40:06,300
with them as we're notified of

997
00:40:06,300 --> 00:40:07,140
um

998
00:40:07,140 --> 00:40:10,200
unacceptable Behavior or mischief that

999
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,180
that is happening in the community and I

1000
00:40:12,180 --> 00:40:14,099
think we will be talking about uh

1001
00:40:14,099 --> 00:40:15,480
potentially

1002
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,359
a joint event to to help communicate

1003
00:40:18,359 --> 00:40:20,460
some of these things to the public

1004
00:40:20,460 --> 00:40:23,700
um in a greater larger fashion

1005
00:40:23,700 --> 00:40:25,260
thank you very much for that answer I

1006
00:40:25,260 --> 00:40:28,320
think that's I think that's important um

1007
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,660
um just a follow-up just

1008
00:40:30,660 --> 00:40:33,839
um is there contact information at the

1009
00:40:33,839 --> 00:40:36,480
parks where there's contact phone

1010
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,820
numbers is there signage indicating for

1011
00:40:38,820 --> 00:40:40,680
residents using the parks if they see

1012
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,180
something

1013
00:40:42,180 --> 00:40:45,420
um that's not quite uh right that you

1014
00:40:45,420 --> 00:40:47,880
know to to get immediate or a timely

1015
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,740
response is there

1016
00:40:49,740 --> 00:40:51,720
thank you councilman to the chair yes we

1017
00:40:51,720 --> 00:40:54,480
do have Park signage indicates the hours

1018
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,420
and it indicates that a municipal Town

1019
00:40:57,420 --> 00:41:00,660
number it does not have the nrp's uh

1020
00:41:00,660 --> 00:41:03,420
nrps's non-emergency number and that's

1021
00:41:03,420 --> 00:41:05,520
something we could definitely discuss

1022
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,460
with nrps uh and get their approval or

1023
00:41:08,460 --> 00:41:10,380
if they agree to

1024
00:41:10,380 --> 00:41:12,000
Perfect all right thank you very much

1025
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,880

um you've had a lot of successes and I

1031
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,960
must compliment you on the balance that

1032
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,079
your programs have brought to arts and

1033
00:41:34,079 --> 00:41:37,079
culture as well as the more traditional

1034
00:41:37,079 --> 00:41:39,839
Sports and um

1035
00:41:39,839 --> 00:41:43,020
um features that uh that we've had in

1036
00:41:43,020 --> 00:41:45,119
the town for a long time

1037
00:41:45,119 --> 00:41:47,460
your team has had great success with

1038
00:41:47,460 --> 00:41:50,880
fundraising and that certainly is

1039
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,400
um it's not only welcome but it makes

1040
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,859
things happen and I know that's always

1041
00:41:55,859 --> 00:41:57,960
very time consuming and I want to thank

1042
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,579
you very much for the effort that's put

1043
00:41:59,579 --> 00:42:01,800
behind that

1044
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,940
I believe that Community Services has a

1045
00:42:05,940 --> 00:42:08,280
lot of influence influence and input

1046
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,880
across departments and I I would like to

1047
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,880
acknowledge I think we all know that

1048
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,280
that is the case and just want to add

1049
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,579
that on to to your report

1050
00:42:20,579 --> 00:42:22,500
in the area of climate change and

1051
00:42:22,500 --> 00:42:24,780
adaptation impacts

1052
00:42:24,780 --> 00:42:25,680
um

1053
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,920
I hope that you'll accept some credit

1054
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,740
and maybe include a credit where it's

1055
00:42:31,740 --> 00:42:34,140
due in future reports because I don't

1056
00:42:34,140 --> 00:42:35,520
know

1057
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:36,300
um

1058
00:42:36,300 --> 00:42:38,579
I mean there are just so many elements

1059
00:42:38,579 --> 00:42:41,160
of that that come back to the way things

1060
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,579
are done by your team and and so it's

1078
00:43:21,420 --> 00:43:23,819
Parks master plan and we've we've come a

1079
00:43:23,819 --> 00:43:25,260
long way

1080
00:43:25,260 --> 00:43:27,180
um you know to think that we've

1081
00:43:27,180 --> 00:43:29,700
constructed Rotary Park uh we've built

1082
00:43:29,700 --> 00:43:32,040
our first dog park uh and we've

1083
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,380
continued to listen to the residents uh

1084
00:43:34,380 --> 00:43:36,180
whenever they've reached out to to have

1085
00:43:36,180 --> 00:43:38,880
issues with Mount Osborne Cemetery I

1086
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,940

and uh and uh Mr Warden and you know

1088
00:43:45,119 --> 00:43:47,520

1090
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:51,900
throughout the uh throughout the

1091

we've listened to the residents and we

1093
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,680

1094
00:43:58,680 --> 00:43:59,460

Services

1098
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,680
um I'm wondering Shannon uh if you could

1099
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,900
comment recently at one of our touch

1100
00:44:09,900 --> 00:44:12,000
points with uh Vice chair mikalak and

1101
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,020
myself

1102
00:44:13,020 --> 00:44:15,720
you spoke about some of the obstacles

1103
00:44:15,720 --> 00:44:17,760
that you're um you're currently dealing

1104
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:21,180
with in terms of uh lifeguards and how

1105
00:44:21,180 --> 00:44:23,160
that might affect the hours of our

1106
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,800
operations of of some of our pools I'm

1107
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,240
wondering if you could comment on that

1108
00:44:27,240 --> 00:44:29,460
and just maybe talk about what the plan

1109
00:44:29,460 --> 00:44:32,510
is moving forward

1110
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,380
thank you chair Bernie I'll start now

1111
00:44:34,380 --> 00:44:36,599
and I will maybe ask

1112
00:44:36,599 --> 00:44:39,119
associate director aims uh to add a few

1113
00:44:39,119 --> 00:44:41,819
more comments so uh we did recently

1114
00:44:41,819 --> 00:44:44,339
prepare a memo a briefing note for our

1115
00:44:44,339 --> 00:44:47,640
Council to outline that unfortunately we

1116
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,460
are going to have to reduce some of our

1117
00:44:50,460 --> 00:44:52,800
aquatic programming as a result of not

1118
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,619
having been able to recruit what we

1119
00:44:55,619 --> 00:44:58,380
would deem a fourth proof so in order to

1120
00:44:58,380 --> 00:45:02,040
stop both of our outdoor pools we need a

1121
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,079
total of four crews and we've been able

1122
00:45:04,079 --> 00:45:07,440
to successfully recruit three this is

1123
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,500
not a a Lincoln only problem this is not

1124
00:45:10,500 --> 00:45:12,420
an AG or region only problem this is

1125
00:45:12,420 --> 00:45:15,599
actually a national problem with less

1126
00:45:15,599 --> 00:45:18,599
and less staff coming up with their

1127
00:45:18,599 --> 00:45:21,119
lifeguarding certifications and their

1128
00:45:21,119 --> 00:45:24,359
ability to uh to work in in the pools

1129
00:45:24,359 --> 00:45:26,220
not only in the outdoor pools but in all

1130
00:45:26,220 --> 00:45:28,380
Municipal pools and in private pools as

1131
00:45:28,380 --> 00:45:32,099
well so we will be reducing

1132
00:45:32,099 --> 00:45:32,880
um

1133
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,780
some of the programming at the Jordan

1134
00:45:35,780 --> 00:45:40,380
Lions outdoor pool this summer

1135
00:45:40,380 --> 00:45:42,720
um we will be able to continue at afg

1136
00:45:42,720 --> 00:45:44,819
with the full programming as we have in

1137
00:45:44,819 --> 00:45:49,140
the past but we will be having to cut

1138
00:45:49,140 --> 00:45:51,960
public swim and and close the pool on

1139
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,359
the Sunday uh we have one crew and and

1140
00:45:54,359 --> 00:45:56,220
obviously they cannot work seven days a

1141
00:45:56,220 --> 00:45:59,520
week and we've had to reduce reduce some

1142
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,940
of the midweeks so staff took a look at

1143
00:46:02,940 --> 00:46:05,040
um stats from the previous years not

1144
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,380
just last year but trending they did an

1145
00:46:07,380 --> 00:46:10,079
analysis and they made the decisions on

1146
00:46:10,079 --> 00:46:12,660
the cuts based on the data that they

1147
00:46:12,660 --> 00:46:14,400
looked at and the best recommendations

1148
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,560
so sir I don't know if you'd like to add

1149
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:20,280
a additional details about that

1150
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,980
uh thanks director McKay through you to

1151
00:46:22,980 --> 00:46:24,060
the chair

1152
00:46:24,060 --> 00:46:26,339
um all that information is accurate so

1153
00:46:26,339 --> 00:46:28,200
all of the programming decisions for the

1154
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:29,520
summer were based on previous

1155
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,200
historicals

1156
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,300
um so we did prioritize learn to swim

1157
00:46:33,300 --> 00:46:36,000
programming as that's really fundamental

1158
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,160
to why we operate both of the outdoor

1159
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,940
pools and as much available public and

1160
00:46:41,940 --> 00:46:43,619
Leisure swimming opportunities as

1161
00:46:43,619 --> 00:46:45,780
possible so while there are reductions

1162
00:46:45,780 --> 00:46:47,339
I'm going to use that word rather than

1163
00:46:47,339 --> 00:46:48,599
cuts

1164
00:46:48,599 --> 00:46:50,520
um we're hopeful that you know we are

1165
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,500
still actively recruiting and looking

1166
00:46:52,500 --> 00:46:54,960
for staff we actually just brought on

1167
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,960
another lifeguard just this week so we

1168
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,579
still remain hopeful that we may be able

1169
00:46:59,579 --> 00:47:01,800
to find some additional staff and and

1170
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:03,720
definitely would entertain any

1171
00:47:03,720 --> 00:47:05,460
applicants that are are looking for

1172
00:47:05,460 --> 00:47:07,020
summer work

1173
00:47:07,020 --> 00:47:08,700
um to

1174
00:47:08,700 --> 00:47:10,500
um reach out to us through our human

1175
00:47:10,500 --> 00:47:13,200
resources department this is really a

1176
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,119
sector-wide issue as director McKay

1177
00:47:15,119 --> 00:47:16,740
mentioned and it's certainly not limited

1178
00:47:16,740 --> 00:47:18,480
to lifeguards and swimming instructors

1179
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:20,819
however most recently the province did

1180
00:47:20,819 --> 00:47:25,440
lower the age for lifeguards 215 so

1181
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:26,940
that's not something that we'll see in

1182
00:47:26,940 --> 00:47:28,740
an immediate impact from this summer

1183
00:47:28,740 --> 00:47:30,660
because obviously people need to be

1184
00:47:30,660 --> 00:47:32,579
trained but we're hopeful that that will

1185
00:47:32,579 --> 00:47:33,960
help for next summer to be able to

1186
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:40,130
recruit more staff for our outdoor pools

1187
00:47:40,140 --> 00:47:42,660
that's great thank you Sarah

1188
00:47:42,660 --> 00:47:46,020
um so just another question uh I had um

1189
00:47:46,020 --> 00:47:48,660
through to Shannon Shannon the mayor

1190
00:47:48,660 --> 00:47:51,599
used the word balance and um uh you know

1191
00:47:51,599 --> 00:47:53,339
I think over the last number of years

1192
00:47:53,339 --> 00:47:55,440
you know we've had residents reaching

1193
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,079
out to us especially during covid you

1194
00:47:58,079 --> 00:48:00,420
know talking about lighting in our parks

1195
00:48:00,420 --> 00:48:03,060
and um and just making making

1196
00:48:03,060 --> 00:48:06,540
enhancements but but with that

1197
00:48:06,540 --> 00:48:08,460
um you know comes vandalism comes

1198
00:48:08,460 --> 00:48:11,040
graffiti I recently sent some pictures

1199
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:14,280
with regards to uh some broken lights

1200
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,079
that have happened up at brokerage park

1201
00:48:16,079 --> 00:48:18,300
over the last couple weeks uh we

1202
00:48:18,300 --> 00:48:20,400
continue to see vandalism so I'm just

1203
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,000
I'm just wondering uh you know councilor

1204
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:25,740
um mikaluck mentioned about the the

1205
00:48:25,740 --> 00:48:28,260
policing and and cameras but but where

1206
00:48:28,260 --> 00:48:30,900
is the balance as this continues to to

1207
00:48:30,900 --> 00:48:33,240
escalate to make sure that you know the

1208
00:48:33,240 --> 00:48:35,880
investments in our parks are are going

1209
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:37,740
to be you know looked after and

1210
00:48:37,740 --> 00:48:40,140
maintained and yet provide the safety to

1211
00:48:40,140 --> 00:48:45,410
our residents as we as we move forward

1212
00:48:45,420 --> 00:48:48,780
but thank you councilman I mean we talk

1213
00:48:48,780 --> 00:48:50,280
about that often

1214
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,700
um we talk about you know how we stay

1215
00:48:53,700 --> 00:48:55,619
informed of what's Happening

1216
00:48:55,619 --> 00:48:57,060
how

1217
00:48:57,060 --> 00:48:59,280
when we're not in our parks at 10

1218
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,260
o'clock 11 o'clock 12 o'clock at night

1219
00:49:01,260 --> 00:49:03,180
because it's dark and and we don't

1220
00:49:03,180 --> 00:49:04,619
really want people in our Parks when

1221
00:49:04,619 --> 00:49:05,880
they're not supposed to be in our Parks

1222
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:09,180
but they are that we need the the eyes

1223
00:49:09,180 --> 00:49:11,339
of the residents to be reporting these

1224
00:49:11,339 --> 00:49:12,119
things

1225
00:49:12,119 --> 00:49:13,740
so

1226
00:49:13,740 --> 00:49:16,200
um you know balance may end up being

1227
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,020
surveillance in not all but some of our

1228
00:49:19,020 --> 00:49:22,200
parks and I think

1229
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,000
um as Citizens and this is just a

1230
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,579
general comment on my part we are

1231
00:49:26,579 --> 00:49:29,160
becoming more accustomed to surveillance

1232
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,079
in our public spaces because of what

1233
00:49:31,079 --> 00:49:34,140
happens in our public spaces so the

1234
00:49:34,140 --> 00:49:37,079
balance would be ensuring that we can

1235
00:49:37,079 --> 00:49:39,480
um stay on top of what's happening in

1236
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,220
our public spaces when we're not in our

1237
00:49:41,220 --> 00:49:42,960
public spaces and quite frankly when our

1238
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,359
public spaces are not deemed open we

1239
00:49:45,359 --> 00:49:46,980
don't want people going into the the

1240
00:49:46,980 --> 00:49:48,900
parks after hours if they're there

1241
00:49:48,900 --> 00:49:52,200
especially for mischief and no good but

1242
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,480
we need to know if that's happening and

1243
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,040
we're relying on our residents to tell

1244
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:57,599
us so

1245
00:49:57,599 --> 00:49:58,260
um

1246
00:49:58,260 --> 00:50:01,020
you know lighting is a is a is a

1247
00:50:01,020 --> 00:50:02,339
double-edged sword we've talked about

1248
00:50:02,339 --> 00:50:04,380
this with Council

1249
00:50:04,380 --> 00:50:07,020
um we want people to have sufficient

1250
00:50:07,020 --> 00:50:08,880
light in parks to be able to get through

1251
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,920
the Parks when they need to early on but

1252
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,500
we also have to be mindful of the

1253
00:50:13,500 --> 00:50:15,060
residents who live close to our parks

1254
00:50:15,060 --> 00:50:16,980
and that's certainly the case in a park

1255
00:50:16,980 --> 00:50:19,440
like brokerage where the pathway that

1256
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,660
the pathway that goes around the park is

1257
00:50:21,660 --> 00:50:23,760
is not far from the backyards of

1258
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,280
residents who live there so providing

1259
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:27,900
you know a balance of lighting that

1260
00:50:27,900 --> 00:50:30,119
isn't too bright for the the neighboring

1261
00:50:30,119 --> 00:50:31,800
residents but bright enough for for

1262
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,020
individuals to feel feel safe yet

1263
00:50:34,020 --> 00:50:37,740
doesn't invite you know activity that we

1264
00:50:37,740 --> 00:50:39,720
we don't want to be happening I think

1265
00:50:39,720 --> 00:50:42,240
it's a it's about an Engaged Community

1266
00:50:42,240 --> 00:50:44,760
it's about a community that's you know

1267
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,040
talking and bringing things forward to

1268
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,559
not only the town staff certainly Town

1269
00:50:49,559 --> 00:50:52,559
staff but also nrps and

1270
00:50:52,559 --> 00:50:54,599
um you know we had some Mischief happen

1271
00:50:54,599 --> 00:50:58,040
at the Fleming Center uh this weekend

1272
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,140
and when we reported it to the staff

1273
00:51:01,140 --> 00:51:02,880
sergeant today

1274
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:04,440
um because it didn't come to us at the

1275
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,960
time the staff sergeant said the best

1276
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,839
thing for both staff and residents to do

1277
00:51:09,839 --> 00:51:12,900
is report it at the time we can act at

1278
00:51:12,900 --> 00:51:15,240
the time we can get somebody out there

1279
00:51:15,240 --> 00:51:18,540
into those places at the time to to try

1280
00:51:18,540 --> 00:51:20,400
to deal with it but to follow up and to

1281
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,559
try to figure out what might have

1282
00:51:22,559 --> 00:51:23,640
happened and who might have been

1283
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,380
responsible it's a little more difficult

1284
00:51:25,380 --> 00:51:28,319
so we are encouraging residents to reach

1285
00:51:28,319 --> 00:51:30,960
out it's during the daytime will you

1286
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:31,740
know

1287
00:51:31,740 --> 00:51:33,780
we'll hit we can get over there we can

1288
00:51:33,780 --> 00:51:35,160
get to our facilities if it's in the

1289
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,440
evening when our parks are closed and

1290
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:38,880
our facilities are closed and we don't

1291
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:40,200
have staff that's a little bit more

1292
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,240
challenging but we do want residents to

1293
00:51:42,240 --> 00:51:43,859
report it and we want residents to know

1294
00:51:43,859 --> 00:51:45,660
that we are aware and we're working very

1295
00:51:45,660 --> 00:51:49,140
closely with nrps to try to figure out

1296
00:51:49,140 --> 00:51:51,619
Solutions and solutions that balance

1297
00:51:51,619 --> 00:51:54,900
protecting the individuals who live in

1298
00:51:54,900 --> 00:51:56,940
close proximity of these spaces but also

Lincoln is moving towards a more mature

1360
00:55:27,359 --> 00:55:29,460
open government program which is based

1361
00:55:29,460 --> 00:55:31,859
on the core belief that the public has a

1362
00:55:31,859 --> 00:55:33,359
right to access the records and

1363
00:55:33,359 --> 00:55:34,800
proceedings of government to enable

1364
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,200
greater openness accountability and

1365
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:38,240
engagement

1366
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:40,079
municipalities are encouraged to

1367
00:55:40,079 --> 00:55:42,359
determine how they can bring or expand

1368
00:55:42,359 --> 00:55:45,480
their open government activities

1369
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:47,220
um and you know as such Stephanie

1370
00:55:47,220 --> 00:55:49,079
Bellissimo our records coordinator has

1371
00:55:49,079 --> 00:55:50,819
done a tremendous job working across the

1372
00:55:50,819 --> 00:55:52,980
corporation and meeting with all the

1373
00:55:52,980 --> 00:55:55,680
Departments mainly to understand the

1374
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,940
most requested information that has been

1375
00:55:58,940 --> 00:56:02,099
required and that's been included as

1376
00:56:02,099 --> 00:56:04,020
well as other material and so we've also

1377
00:56:04,020 --> 00:56:05,819
consulted our legal counsel to ensure

1378
00:56:05,819 --> 00:56:07,740
all legal aspects have been considered

1379
00:56:07,740 --> 00:56:10,559
it's an important project initiative

1380
00:56:10,559 --> 00:56:14,400
that our department has taken on and and

1381
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:16,079
that we've completed thus far and we

1382
00:56:16,079 --> 00:56:18,599
move closer to open government and uh

1383
00:56:18,599 --> 00:56:22,280
and open data and uh hopefully

1384
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:24,359
that explains a little bit about the

1385
00:56:24,359 --> 00:56:25,980
report and I'd be happy to answer any

1386
00:56:25,980 --> 00:56:27,119
questions

1387
00:56:27,119 --> 00:56:28,800
excellent thank you very much Madam

1388
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:31,500
clerk I will open it to council for

1389
00:56:31,500 --> 00:56:35,750
questions

1390
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:37,980

to the uh the clerk uh Julie um thanks

1393
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,339
for this and uh I certainly uh I think

1394
00:56:47,339 --> 00:56:49,200
this is a very positive thing I I

1395
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:51,119
certainly understand why we would want

1396
00:56:51,119 --> 00:56:53,700
to be more open and transparent I'm just

1397
00:56:53,700 --> 00:56:55,920
wondering uh if there's something that

1398
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:58,140
has specifically triggered this coming

1399
00:56:58,140 --> 00:57:00,720
at this point uh have we had a number of

1400
00:57:00,720 --> 00:57:04,319
residents resident complaints uh do we

1401
00:57:04,319 --> 00:57:05,880
feel that the Freedom of Information and

1402
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:07,619
Privacy Act has become too restrictive

1403
00:57:07,619 --> 00:57:10,140
uh or is this just something that this

1404
00:57:10,140 --> 00:57:13,670
is the right thing to do

1405
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:19,730
uh thank you councilor

1406
00:57:19,740 --> 00:57:22,559
counter uh counselor in terms of any

1407
00:57:22,559 --> 00:57:24,540
kind of information that has been

1408
00:57:24,540 --> 00:57:25,940
requested

1409
00:57:25,940 --> 00:57:28,559
right now all of the information being

1410
00:57:28,559 --> 00:57:30,800
requested is through a formal foi

1411
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:34,079
whereas uh we don't have a policy in

1412
00:57:34,079 --> 00:57:35,880
place which we should

1413
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:38,700
um which speaks to routine disclosure of

1414
00:57:38,700 --> 00:57:40,200
information

1415
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:44,160
um without a formal submission of an foi

1416
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,079
um or active dissemination so

1417
00:57:46,079 --> 00:57:49,260
information that we are actively making

1418
00:57:49,260 --> 00:57:52,440
the public aware of just without

1419
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,200
um a request so as we build up our

1420
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,059
website and

1421
00:57:57,059 --> 00:58:00,000
um and with more information coming with

1422
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:03,240
our open data we will probably see a

1423
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:05,819
reduction in the fois that we do receive

1424
00:58:05,819 --> 00:58:08,280
and that more information is being

1425
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,319
actively disseminated to the public more

1426
00:58:10,319 --> 00:58:12,480
information is being routinely disclosed

1427
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:16,790
as appropriate

1428
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:18,960
and it's great uh thank you clerk just a

1429
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,119
follow-up question I'm wondering if in

1430
00:58:21,119 --> 00:58:23,220
the process we have reached out to other

1431
00:58:23,220 --> 00:58:24,900
municipalities to see if other

1432
00:58:24,900 --> 00:58:26,700
municipalities have already got this

1433
00:58:26,700 --> 00:58:29,280
policy in place uh are we a leader here

1434
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:32,690
or are we playing catch-up

1435
00:58:32,700 --> 00:58:34,140
um I'll hand it off to Stephanie but I

1436
00:58:34,140 --> 00:58:36,359
do want to say that I would say that we

1437
00:58:36,359 --> 00:58:39,180
are probably a leader in the region with

1438
00:58:39,180 --> 00:58:42,000
um making this policy

1439
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,640
um uh coming through this evening with

1440
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,559
Council approval so I would say that

1441
00:58:46,559 --> 00:58:48,660
we've done extensive research and

1442
00:58:48,660 --> 00:58:50,579
Stephanie I'll lead it to you because we

1443
00:58:50,579 --> 00:58:53,819
have uh worked with uh numerous

1444
00:58:53,819 --> 00:58:56,520
municipalities across Ontario

1445
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:57,839
um we've spoken to numerous

1446
00:58:57,839 --> 00:59:00,780
municipalities and their clerks as well

1447
00:59:00,780 --> 00:59:03,480
as our legal counsel did some active

1448
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:05,099
research so Stephanie I don't know if

1449
00:59:05,099 --> 00:59:07,680
you want to add anything to that

1450
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,140
uh thank you Julie through you to the

1451
00:59:10,140 --> 00:59:12,780
chair so we have done some extensive

1452
00:59:12,780 --> 00:59:15,960
research as Julie was mentioning we had

1453
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:17,880
looked at many different policies that

1454
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:19,440
have come out and it is something that

1455
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:21,059
municipalities are definitely starting

1456
00:59:21,059 --> 00:59:24,000
to do but I do believe that we are a

1457
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,880
leader in this especially in in the

1458
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:28,980
region I know that it's something that's

1459
00:59:28,980 --> 00:59:31,160
been discussed at our previous

1460
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:34,260
Niagara region records group and it's

1461
00:59:34,260 --> 00:59:35,520
something that people want to start

1462
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:38,280
working towards um so I definitely would

1463
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:40,559
say we're leading that charge in that

1464
00:59:40,559 --> 00:59:43,319
way there have been some several great

1465
00:59:43,319 --> 00:59:45,180
policies that we were able to draw on

1466
00:59:45,180 --> 00:59:46,980
and like we've said uh like Julie was

1467
00:59:46,980 --> 00:59:49,260
mentioning we have reached out to

1468
00:59:49,260 --> 00:59:52,500
several municipalities and we're able to

1469
00:59:52,500 --> 00:59:55,200
um uh have what they put together help

1470
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:57,599
to inform our policy and make it very

1471
00:59:57,599 --> 00:59:59,280
strong

1472
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:01,760
great thank you Stephanie that's great

1473
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,440
that's great timmers that's uh very

1474
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:06,119
positive very encouraging to hear thank

1475
01:00:06,119 --> 01:00:07,020
you

1476
01:00:07,020 --> 01:00:08,700
yeah it's always good when we hear that

1477
01:00:08,700 --> 01:00:11,040
we're the leader in in an area and

1478
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:13,680
anything that makes um communication and

1479
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,780
information available to our residents

1480
01:00:15,780 --> 01:00:17,940
and the easier way is definitely a

1481
01:00:17,940 --> 01:00:23,390
positive I have counselor michalec uh

1482
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,099
go ahead thank you chair timmers through

1483
01:00:26,099 --> 01:00:29,640
you to Julie um thank you for taking the

1484
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:31,680
time to look at this and coming up with

1485
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,980
this uh strategy just curious um with

1486
01:00:34,980 --> 01:00:37,920
regards to the financial portion of this

1487
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:39,839
uh fees are not applicable

1488
01:00:39,839 --> 01:00:42,420
uh you know if the information can be

1489
01:00:42,420 --> 01:00:43,799
found on the website and I I understand

1490
01:00:43,799 --> 01:00:46,260
why that's the case I understand is to

1491
01:00:46,260 --> 01:00:49,740
try to you know get people to

1492
01:00:49,740 --> 01:00:51,960
put some effort you know into looking

1493
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:53,760
things up on their own but

1494
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:55,619
what if you don't have a computer what

1495
01:00:55,619 --> 01:00:57,900
if you don't what if you're not internet

1496
01:00:57,900 --> 01:01:00,480
Savvy what if you don't have access to

1497
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,540
technology what if you're old school

1498
01:01:03,540 --> 01:01:05,700
traditional are you going to have to pay

1499
01:01:05,700 --> 01:01:07,799
like what's the realities towards this

1500
01:01:07,799 --> 01:01:10,440
and I compare it to like the arrive can

1501
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,079
app like the government couldn't make

1502
01:01:13,079 --> 01:01:17,160
people use the arrive can app because if

1503
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,020
you didn't have a cell phone or access

1504
01:01:19,020 --> 01:01:21,660
to technology you couldn't

1505
01:01:21,660 --> 01:01:24,000
you can't force people to use technology

1506
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,940
so have we considered that with the

1507
01:01:26,940 --> 01:01:29,099
financial aspect of this

1508
01:01:29,099 --> 01:01:31,380
Madam Clerk

1509
01:01:31,380 --> 01:01:34,140
thank you uh counselor um through the

1510
01:01:34,140 --> 01:01:36,780
chair to you uh so we'll always work

1511
01:01:36,780 --> 01:01:38,760
with members of the public understanding

1512
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:39,960
that

1513
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:41,700
um we're hoping that we can drive as

1514
01:01:41,700 --> 01:01:43,319
many people to our website as much as

1515
01:01:43,319 --> 01:01:45,420
possible where that houses most of the

1516
01:01:45,420 --> 01:01:48,900
open data and available and um you know

1517
01:01:48,900 --> 01:01:52,140
information that is accessible however

1518
01:01:52,140 --> 01:01:54,240
knowing that not everybody

1519
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:57,240
um is uh is is computer savvy as you've

1520
01:01:57,240 --> 01:01:58,740
just said so

1521
01:01:58,740 --> 01:02:01,140
um in terms of uh information that is

1522
01:02:01,140 --> 01:02:03,420
easy to find we'll work with that

1523
01:02:03,420 --> 01:02:06,420
individual and we'll take those cases

1524
01:02:06,420 --> 01:02:09,059
um as individual as they come and and

1525
01:02:09,059 --> 01:02:11,099
work with them in determining what

1526
01:02:11,099 --> 01:02:12,599
information that they're looking for

1527
01:02:12,599 --> 01:02:15,420
it's if it's easy and it's and it's very

1528
01:02:15,420 --> 01:02:17,520
fairly quick to

1529
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,460
um come across or decipher

1530
01:02:20,460 --> 01:02:22,140
um we'll work with that individual on a

1531
01:02:22,140 --> 01:02:24,420
case-by-case basis if it's historical

1532
01:02:24,420 --> 01:02:27,299
data if it's being uh if it's data that

1533
01:02:27,299 --> 01:02:28,859
they're requesting that's going to take

1534
01:02:28,859 --> 01:02:31,740
some time to do research on if it's if

1535
01:02:31,740 --> 01:02:35,160
it's information that we need time or if

1536
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:38,700
it's um you know a certain amount of

1537
01:02:38,700 --> 01:02:40,799
data that they're requesting in terms of

1538
01:02:40,799 --> 01:02:43,200
bylaws and minutes and motions and it's

1539
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:45,540
going to take significant time to spend

1540
01:02:45,540 --> 01:02:48,960
and do the research um that's when there

1541
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:52,260
will be costs um associated with it but

1542
01:02:52,260 --> 01:02:53,880
again we would be working with those

1543
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:56,220
individuals on a case-by-case basis to

1544
01:02:56,220 --> 01:02:58,920
determine the best path forward we do

1545
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:00,540
recognize that the submission we're

1546
01:03:00,540 --> 01:03:02,160
going to be asking will be that people

1547
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:05,059
complete these um routine disclosure

1548
01:03:05,059 --> 01:03:07,500
requests online however we will be

1549
01:03:07,500 --> 01:03:09,059
accounting for those that want to come

1550
01:03:09,059 --> 01:03:11,400
in person and do it that way so making

1551
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:13,319
sure that we are meeting the needs of

1552
01:03:13,319 --> 01:03:15,119
the residents depending on the need that

1553
01:03:15,119 --> 01:03:18,119
they're requesting

1554
01:03:18,119 --> 01:03:20,520
thank you very much for you and I think

1555
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:21,720
I just want to make sure that people

1556
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:25,740
aren't nervous or intimidated by you

1557
01:03:25,740 --> 01:03:28,440
know the possibility of a fee and and it

1558
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:31,280
would you know deter them or you know

1559
01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:34,260
make them nervous about making a request

1560
01:03:34,260 --> 01:03:37,440
for information that um by seeing that

1561
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,839
possible fee thank you thank you

1562
01:03:39,839 --> 01:03:42,900
counselor oh Madam or Madam clerk did

1563
01:03:42,900 --> 01:03:45,359
you have something to add I do I just

1564
01:03:45,359 --> 01:03:48,480
want to make them so thank you chair uh

1565
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:51,119
we do have a fees and charges by law

1566
01:03:51,119 --> 01:03:53,819
that Council passed and and in that fees

1567
01:03:53,819 --> 01:03:56,220
and charges there's um several fees that

1568
01:03:56,220 --> 01:03:58,020
are associated with each department and

1569
01:03:58,020 --> 01:04:00,359
so I just want to make clear that some

1570
01:04:00,359 --> 01:04:01,799
of the fees

1571
01:04:01,799 --> 01:04:03,780
um will be significantly less depending

1572
01:04:03,780 --> 01:04:06,119
on what the type of request is so it may

1573
01:04:06,119 --> 01:04:08,400
not be a routine disclosure fee that we

1574
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:11,220
charge it may be just a photocopying fee

1575
01:04:11,220 --> 01:04:12,839
it may just be something that's easy

1576
01:04:12,839 --> 01:04:14,460
done that way it may just be something

1577
01:04:14,460 --> 01:04:16,020
that they go to planning and there will

1578
01:04:16,020 --> 01:04:18,540
be some sort of uh be associated with

1579
01:04:18,540 --> 01:04:20,400
that or a financial fee so maybe they

1580
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:22,440
need a copy of a water bill so so

1581
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:24,599
counselor you know we'll make sure that

1582
01:04:24,599 --> 01:04:27,000
you know the the individual is aware

1583
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:28,680
depending on the type of request being

1584
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:30,540
asked

1585
01:04:30,540 --> 01:04:33,660
great thank you very much Madam clerk I

1586
01:04:33,660 --> 01:04:35,339

next

1588
01:04:36,599 --> 01:04:39,119
thank you very much Madam chair thank

1589
01:04:39,119 --> 01:04:41,400
you for the report uh Julie this is

1590
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,380
certainly an example of good governance

1591
01:04:43,380 --> 01:04:47,280
and good to be um on top of that

1592
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:49,079
um will the start date for the

1593
01:04:49,079 --> 01:04:56,690
availability be prior to 1970.

1594
01:04:56,700 --> 01:04:58,559
um thank you madam Mary through the

1595
01:04:58,559 --> 01:05:00,299
chair to you

1596
01:05:00,299 --> 01:05:02,760
um so as you know we do have uh

1597
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:05,520
historical records uh that date back

1598
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:07,500
significantly

1599
01:05:07,500 --> 01:05:10,319
um you know before 1970 of our

1600
01:05:10,319 --> 01:05:12,599
amalgamation of the town of Lincoln and

1601
01:05:12,599 --> 01:05:16,140
so uh Stephanie is uh you know our she's

1602
01:05:16,140 --> 01:05:19,020
an archivist she's worked on several um

1603
01:05:19,020 --> 01:05:21,240
we're lucky to have her and so she's

1604
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:23,040
worked on significant

1605
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:25,200
um archives even with the museum and so

1606
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,680
we do have a lot of historical data that

1607
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:31,079
uh you know we are working through and

1608
01:05:31,079 --> 01:05:32,760
so some of that information could

1609
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:34,680
pertain to that

1610
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:37,260
um and uh again that that goes to the

1611
01:05:37,260 --> 01:05:39,240
research and and all of that information

1612
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:41,460
on being requested and so Stephanie

1613
01:05:41,460 --> 01:05:43,859
would definitely take those requests as

1614
01:05:43,859 --> 01:05:45,119
they come

1615
01:05:45,119 --> 01:05:48,839
and and Madam clerk I I'm again on the

1616
01:05:48,839 --> 01:05:49,799
same

1617
01:05:49,799 --> 01:05:51,119
um line

1618
01:05:51,119 --> 01:05:54,240
um I'm assuming that there could be gaps

1619
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:57,780
with the historic information if members

1620
01:05:57,780 --> 01:06:01,920
of the public have copies of it um

1621
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:04,700
are you looking to have that information

1622
01:06:04,700 --> 01:06:07,740
in the head to be in the hands of the

1623
01:06:07,740 --> 01:06:09,859
town

1624
01:06:09,859 --> 01:06:14,520
uh I can't account for the uh what can

1625
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:17,160
what happened before I came to the town

1626
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:20,520
of Lincoln I'm hoping that we have

1627
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:23,099
um you know our our materials that are

1628
01:06:23,099 --> 01:06:24,960
Town owned

1629
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:27,960
um I would be I welcome any kind of

1630
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:29,940
information that any member of the

1631
01:06:29,940 --> 01:06:32,760
public has that wishes to uh bring back

1632
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:35,280
to the town of Lincoln okay that's

1633
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:37,200
that's great news so I'm assuming then

1634
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:42,599
that post 1970 it'll be as complete as

1635
01:06:42,599 --> 01:06:45,059
is this realistic

1636
01:06:45,059 --> 01:06:48,420
as complete as what I have currently not

1637
01:06:48,420 --> 01:06:49,319
America

1638
01:06:49,319 --> 01:06:51,539
okay that's great thank you very much

1639
01:06:51,539 --> 01:06:54,059
it's a great relief to know that we not

1640
01:06:54,059 --> 01:06:56,760
only have this policy in place but we

1641
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,339
also have um I believe there was an

1642
01:06:59,339 --> 01:07:01,680
earlier policy that you were working on

1643
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:05,160
in regards to the retention of records

1644
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:07,380
and uh I'm assuming that the two of them

1645
01:07:07,380 --> 01:07:10,380
go together is that a fair assumption

1646
01:07:10,380 --> 01:07:13,079
that is correct so as as uh and through

1647
01:07:13,079 --> 01:07:15,839
the chair to you madamir uh as you know

1648
01:07:15,839 --> 01:07:19,319
in in 2020 we did uh put through

1649
01:07:19,319 --> 01:07:23,160
um a bylaw our retention records by law

1650
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,140
which spoke to Tom rooms um and that's

1651
01:07:25,140 --> 01:07:26,760
our classification schedule and our

1652
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:29,039
retention of records and so

1653
01:07:29,039 --> 01:07:30,900
um Stephanie has worked

1654
01:07:30,900 --> 01:07:33,000
um alongside of that policy as well as

1655
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:34,740
this one and they do tie together

1656
01:07:34,740 --> 01:07:36,299
absolutely

1657
01:07:36,299 --> 01:07:38,339
great thank you very much thank you

1658
01:07:38,339 --> 01:07:41,099
madam chair thank you marystone

1659
01:07:41,099 --> 01:07:42,660
okay

1660
01:07:42,660 --> 01:07:45,359
I'm not seeing anyone else in the cube
