Seconded. Can all in favor? Car. [3:03] Okay. We have no protective services tonight. We have no uh public works. we [3:09] want to finance. [3:12] I had a chance to come in and look at the uh financial package. So, if anybody [3:17] had any questions, it's a larger amount this time, so [3:21] I could uh explain some of that. [3:27] Take a minute on it. What do we need here? [3:34] Our [3:43] greater repair was in there. That was a little larger than we anticipated to. I [3:47] was going to ask by about 20,000. Yeah. That was also quicker, right? It was. [3:53] Yes. So, we didn't have to utilize the uh the uh customs services. So, in the [3:59] long run, we're probably ahead of the game, but the repair itself was was more [4:04] money than we thought. I think it ended up 70 some odd thousand 70,47. [4:10] Yeah. Right. [4:14] And then we had kind of calculated the yardage for the uh gravel hauling [4:18] contract. That is not quite the halfway mark. Yeah. for yardage like that. [4:26] There's around 10,000 yards from the slips that I looked at there. So, we can [4:32] probably double that and then a little on that yet before we're done. [4:44] Give everybody another minute or two if there's anything. Did you have anything [4:49] there? Okay. [4:52] Gale. No. [4:57] because it's easier to read it like this on my phone [5:03] um in your truck. [5:09] What did they find in the inspe? [5:16] Yeah. Yep. Did you want that included on his report [5:22] next week? You could just Yeah. copy of each of them. Sure. Want a copy or just [5:27] a summary that you can write up? Maybe a summary would be fine. Sure. Summary. I [5:31] think good with the summary. Question. How come in this? [5:41] She's a contractor. Yeah, she's a contractor. [5:49] So, we'll just get a little summary from Ken with his report if we can. [6:02] Good. Thank you. Anything else from anybody or I'll read the resolution. [6:07] We're going for it. Resolution 271-2025. Be it resolved that accounts payable [6:14] checks number 14130 to 14187 for the total amount of 314,394.30 [6:23] be accepted as presented and approved for payment. [6:27] Moved by Leanne, seconded by Gail. All in favor? That is carried. [6:45] Okay, we're on to pay period 13 here for 2025 for payroll. [6:53] uh resolution 272-2025 be it resolved that payroll pay period [6:59] 13 2025 for the period from June 7th to June 20th 2025 and in the amount of [7:05] $27,000 $27,50.96 [7:12] be accepted as presented and approved for payment by Ken [7:18] seconded by Clint.

This is uh resolution 273-2025 be resolved that the per council DMs [7:44] from June 1st to June 30th 2025 in the amount of $9716 [7:50] even be accepted as presented and approved for payment moved by [7:56] Derek seconded by [8:01] Ken. Further discussion. [8:06] All in favor? That is carried. [8:21] Okay, this is bank account change. [8:27] Just going to flip through the paperwork for that. [8:39] I can speak to that if you want. Yes, I was just going to ask Trevor. Sorry. [8:43] Sorry. Yeah. So, uh, with the resignation of a chief administrative [8:47] officer, I myself, uh, we need to have staff that have the ability to inquiry [8:51] access, uh, I bank accounts, all of the accounts operating as well as reserve. [8:57] And this will let them actually inquire on transactions, work with them directly [9:00] for bank reconciliations as well as, uh, print uh, bank statements as required. [9:05] So this resolution is to provide the administrative clerk one uh currently [9:10] administrative clerk one and the manager of finance accounting uh both inquiry [9:14] about the access uh to our swap valley uh bank account uh portal. Okay. That [9:21] would include the credit card and the whole everything that we have there. Uh [9:25] no credit card's different because that's under a different organization. [9:28] Oh okay. Well that's Catalis or something. Yes. Yeah. And you've already [9:31] provided that by a former resolution. Operation has that access. Great. Okay. [9:37] Any more discussion or questions on that? Okay. We'll read the resolution. [9:42] Resolution 274-2025. Be it resolved that the municipality of [9:47] Maton dispose provide bank account inquiry access permission to the [9:51] administrative clerk 1 employee and manager of finance and accounting [9:56] contract employee. Moved by Derek. Seconded by Leanne. All in favor? [10:02] carried. Thanks for that report there too. [10:13] Okay, we are on to [10:21] summersuit. Yeah, this is what I was looking for though. A period [10:28] kind of ticking off on the package as I go along here. So yes, the summer [10:34] student um hourly wage rate change. Do you want to speak a bit on that too, Sh? [10:39] Uh so historically the municipality uh whenever had a summer student employee [10:43] returned for a follow-up season, uh we've already paid always paid them [10:47] either the greater of the minimum wage which required to uh by law or uh $1 [10:53] more than what they were being paid from the previous uh hourly rate. Uh for this [10:57] year we have one student that has returned uh for second season which is [11:01] great. The benefit there being they've already been trained, they already have [11:05] all the gear because we've already bought them all the gear and it just [11:08] it's good to have those people there rather than starting off from scratch [11:10] with a brand new green person. And in the project that we did uh last year for [11:16] our uh payroll bands and the actual step for the bands, we had put the summer [11:21] student as just basically minimum wage rate because this item didn't come up uh [11:25] in a discussion. So be that we're aware of it now, what this resolution does [11:29] enables us to revise our actual payroll bands and hourly rates to say that [11:34] returning summer students are the greater of minimum wage rate at the time [11:38] of hire or the um uh prior hourly rate plus $1 close to $1. So you'll see in [11:44] the attachments the previous uh payroll u payans and steps and one that's [11:50] revised, they're identical except for towards the bottom where it talks about [11:53] returning summer students. Sounds good. [11:59] Anybody have anything they'd like to add or question on it? Pretty [12:03] straightforward, I think. Okay, we will go with the resolution [12:08] then. Resolution 275-2025. Be it resolved that the wage rate for [12:14] the returning summer student employees be revised to the greater of the prior [12:19] hourly wage rate plus a dollar for the Manitoba minimum wage rate. Moved by [12:27] Kim seconder. [12:32] All in favor? [12:42] Okay, we are on to municipal clerk [12:46] compensation change. Would you like to read the [12:51] recommendation now, Trevor? Uh, sure. The recommendation is that the news [12:55] condimental disposment increase the news clerk's employees wage rate from step [13:01] three, which is a rate of $25.68, 58 to step five which will be a rate of $26.71 [13:07] per hour effective July 7th. Uh this works out to be an hourly rate increase [13:13] of $1.3 per hour. Uh also all recommended is that the mun provide [13:18] municipality clerk overtime for evening hours worked provided during to support [13:23] council during his meetings. And the reason being is that the municipal clerk [13:27] would originally hire supposed to be working two and a half days per week [13:31] regular time. Uh but my absence uh following uh this be my last meeting. Uh [13:36] basically the new school clerk will be actually supporting council in the [13:40] evening hours uh for these meetings and this would only be in fact until uh the [13:45] chief administrative officer is hired and then of course that person will take [13:49] over this role and then clerk. [13:56] Thank you. Anybody have anything they'd like to add or [14:04] good? I don't see anybody saying anything or seeing anybody hand [14:09] anybody's hands up. I guess we'll read the resolution. [14:12] 276-2025. Be it resolved that the municipal clerk [14:17] employee wage rate be increased from the step three rate of 2568 [14:21] per hour to the step five rate of 2671 per hour. [14:27] effective July 7th, 2025. Moved by Derek, [14:34] seconded by Clint. Any further discussion? All in favor? [14:54] Next one is administrative clerk to appointment. [14:58] Uh would you like to do the same thing for that one chair please? Sure. Um the [15:02] recommendation is that the municipal boss uh increase the pay for clerk [15:06] employees uh wage rate from actually [15:12] actually disregard that uh there's an error on the actual [15:17] um I just spotted it now. So in a nutshell what the actual resolution is [15:23] just jump back to that. [15:30] Okay. [15:45] Okay. How about we go to announcements? I'm just going to do an update on this. [15:48] I was just going to suggest maybe we'll take this one a bit down the road here. [15:52] Then we need two seconds. [16:03] or even if you want to do it after the have it ready for after the uncertainty. [16:28] Okay. Pretty quite a little span there. Okay. Garrett, [16:33] I don't think I have a whole bunch either. [16:38] No, nothing. Thoughts on the G4? Oh, G4. I guess we attended a few of us. Eh, [16:44] who wants to talk about that? Ken, what have you got? [16:48] I was curious to see what you thought. [16:54] Did you have anything or just one topic out of the G4 you found interesting or [16:58] want to talk about or not particularly you're leaving it to Can I leave it to I [17:05] see that already. Okay. Nothing else. [17:10] Sherry, I include everybody. So, did you have anything you'd like to [17:16] say at all? Okay. Thank you. Uh, clinched. I'm gonna leave it to Ken, [17:22] too. I totally forgot. I don't think we had any meetings. I [17:28] hope Ken remembers now. Yeah. Really putting the pressure on. Putting the [17:31] pressure. Okay, Gail. I got nothing. Okay. I wasn't there. [17:40] Be a real quick round the table thing. Uh, the thing that stood out to me was, [17:45] uh, there was a police officer there. I forget what his position was exactly, [17:50] but uh he had a pretty good understanding about this new police [17:56] force that we're the GIS GIS that we're trying to get and uh yeah, it was just [18:02] interesting to hear from him the roadblocks towards putting people behind [18:08] bars and and also some of the things that are working. So, I got to admit I [18:14] was I'm still a little bit skeptical about all the money we're paying for [18:19] these new police officers and whether they're going to really do that much [18:23] good, but listening to him, it sounds like maybe it's going to be money well [18:27] spent. Good. And that was the crest, the guy, the crest. Is that the title for [18:33] that? Yeah. Okay, good. Well, that sounds positive then. And yeah, it was [18:38] good. Perfect. Anything else? No, that's all I got. [18:43] Okay. Thank you. Trevor, are you working on that or do you have anything you need [18:47] to report on here? I have no announcements, but I've got the right [18:50] documents up now. If you want to flip back to the previous item or Yeah, I'll [18:53] just give my little report. I had one or a couple maybe two things here. Uh I had [19:00] uh watershed meeting, just a typical board meeting, nothing crazy on that [19:05] one, just uh routine of the financials and that type of thing. So we had that [19:09] last week and then just a little report on the July 1st event here. Went off [19:14] very good. We had a good representation from the fire department like those [19:19] numbers are getting higher every year which is nice. We had uh some council [19:23] members and some council members spouses. We had um some volunteers from [19:28] the community again. So that was nice and went smooth. Served about 450 people [19:34] and didn't have to run for anything. We had a little bit of stuff left over and [19:38] so it went really good and a lot of good comments. I think Gail was at at the [19:42] greeting table there. She maybe heard some stuff too or hopefully it was all [19:47] positive. All good. Yeah. No what? No pens this year. That was the only one I [19:51] heard a few times. Okay. Special. Yeah. But no, the event went good. So I just [19:57] wanted to give a little report on that. That's all I had. So we'll go back to [20:02] the um administrative clerk to appointment. Okay. Uh so the [20:07] administrative clerk 2 appointment agenda item uh is a recommendation to [20:12] take our current administrative clerk one employee and transfer her into a [20:17] position which is the administrative clerk 2 employee and this she's [20:21] currently at step one on the administrative clerk uh pay and she'd be [20:25] moving to step one of the administrative clerk to position. Uh the reason is for [20:30] this is that um this person was hired uh green with no municipal government [20:36] experience uh at all. But she you could tell during the interview uh basically [20:41] there was good potential there. You could tell during the interview that [20:44] basically there was uh a willingness to actually invest the time and effort to [20:48] learn as well as provide u service and those expectations she's actually [20:52] exceeded those expectations. So with the uh myself not being in the position and [20:57] the fact that she's taken on extra project work even when I was here as [21:01] well as uh learned and became a central part of our customer service front desk [21:06] very knowledgeable at the front um if we do hiring uh we have not been previously [21:11] successful in hiring a new administrative two person um I what we [21:15] basically done is we've developed this one into admin 2 and my recommendation [21:19] is that we approve that transition to an admin two role at the step one And [21:24] basically if the council so choose the future you can then recruit easier for [21:28] the bid one position if you so choose to in the future. So the recommendation [21:32] that the newest pallet to boseman appoint the current administrative clerk [21:36] one employee to the administrative clerk position at the step one wage rate of [21:41] $2716. [21:45] Sounds reasonable to me as far as you know searching down the road. 19 cents. [21:50] I don't know if the 3 cents will make a difference, but [21:56] on the last page it says clerk 2 is 2719. Oh, I was looking at the [22:01] recommendation. Sorry, I didn't. Yeah, make that 19 cents. So 3 cents more. [22:06] Just so you don't have to type it for a third time. [22:10] So the resolution is is it 16 or 19? 19. Okay, please. [22:19] Okay, thanks for that, Trevor. Read the resolution. Resolution 277-2025 [22:25] be it resolved that the municipality of Maton's Boseman appoint the current [22:29] administrative clerk one employee to the administrative clerk to position at the [22:33] step one wage rate of 2719 per hour. Moved by Gail, [22:41] seconded by Keny. Any further discussion? [22:46] All in favor? Carried. [22:58] Okay, this is to go to camera now. Uh resolution 278 2025 [23:08] be it resolved that pursuant to section 152 section 3 of the municipal act [23:13] despite subsections one and two council shall meet as a committee of the whole [23:19] to close the meeting and continue discussion in camera regarding employee [23:22] land legal and matter that is in its preliminary stages and respecting with [23:27] discussions in public with prejudice the municipality of Minnesota Boseman's [23:31] ability to carry out its activities or negotiations.
