waiting for council and the mayor. So I would
[0:03]
like to call this meeting to order General Committee for
[0:06]
March. 8th 2023 will start with our indigenous land
[0:11]
statement. We acknowledge the lands which constitute the present
[0:15]
day city of Mississauga as being part of the treaty
[0:18]
and traditional territory of the Mississauga of the credit First
[0:21]
nation. .
[0:22]
Holding the Shoni.
[0:23]
Confederacy that here on when dot and Wyandotte nations.
[0:27]
We recognize these peoples and their own ancestors as peoples
[0:30]
who inhabited these lands Since the time immemorial, the
[0:34]
city of Mississauga is home to many global indigenous peoples
[0:38]
as a municipality, the city of Mississauga is actively
[0:41]
working towards reconciliation by confronting our past. .
[0:44]
And our present providing space for the indigenous peoples within
[0:48]
their territory to recognize and uphold their treaty rights and
[0:51]
to support indigenous peoples. We formally recognize the animals
[0:55]
to be origins of our name and continue to make
[0:58]
Mississauga a safe place for all indigenous peoples. .
[1:03]
Can I have an approval of the agenda this morning,
[1:05]
counselor? Temerloh. Thank you all in favor
[1:08]
that is carried. Do we have any declarations of
[1:10]
conflict of interest? ?
[1:12]
Seeing none. Can I have a mover of the
[1:15]
minutes of the previous meeting? Councilor Fonseca, Thank
[1:18]
you all in favor that is carried
[1:21]
Presentations. We do not have any of this morning
[1:24]
deputation Zweiri have one on item. 10.1 Mr.
[1:28]
Dan Anderson resident
[1:31]
Mr Anderson. The floor is yours.
[1:42]
Absolutely.
[1:49]
Dan Anderson. Good morning to the chair and other
[1:53]
council members hope there'll be some flexibility on time,
[1:57]
but maybe not necessary primarily as a war to resident
[2:02]
I'm here to address Agenda item. 10 1 10.1,
[2:05]
in which commissioner writers requesting your approval for the
[2:07]
funding of roadway modifications, particularly speed bumps for various
[2:12]
words. .
[2:13]
The agenda report, however, does not disclose the
[2:16]
proposed number of speed bumps for each roadway. .
[2:19]
But it should, in the same way that proposed
[2:22]
numbers are disclosed for new stop signs and raised crosswalks.
[2:25]
The reason is the specifics are important, for
[2:28]
example, the specifics and that are in agenda.
[2:30]
10.1 indicate that the funding request is not consistent with
[2:35]
the number of speed bumps. . Um
[2:38]
That are implied by the voting of word to residents
[2:41]
for two roads, Bronze, Grover and or Road.
[2:44]
It's unfortunate Counselor schedules. Not here, Um,
[2:48]
, slide number seven. .
[2:50]
But I sent him a copy of my comments.
[2:53]
So
[2:54]
I had a time.
[2:55]
The, um for Brahms Grove Road.
[3:00]
The voting implied.
[3:02]
As in this display here is road safety is compromised
[3:06]
Option of four speed bumps. .
[3:08]
And one additional stop sign.
[3:11]
As a related consideration. The illustrated location for these
[3:15]
four speed bumps is somewhat problematical and may have distorted
[3:19]
the voting. Three speed bumps were placed adjacent to
[3:23]
a vacant hydro right of way on the right and
[3:27]
the arrows shown suggests relocating one of those to the
[3:30]
middle section flanked by homes. .
[3:33]
And that should be done in the context of a
[3:34]
compromise solution. .
[3:37]
The only forced choice option otherwise for residents
[3:41]
Who wanted at least one speed bump in that section,
[3:44]
where a lot of the homes are was that
[3:47]
they were essentially told If you want one, you
[3:50]
have to vote for 10 instead of four, so
[3:52]
some would have that would have distorted the voting slide
[3:56]
number eight for or road. The voting implied the
[4:00]
bottom section. .
[4:03]
Of the slide, which shows a compromise option of
[4:05]
three speed bumps. .
[4:06]
And two additional stop signs.
[4:09]
As can be seen here. There is a fully
[4:11]
fenced industrial section, and the picture at the top
[4:16]
makes that more clear, fully fenced industrial section all
[4:19]
along the southern side of the road, so no
[4:22]
pedestrians cross that road. .
[4:24]
And related to this. In a separate 2022 survey
[4:28]
provided to interim councilor Pat Mullen. .
[4:31]
80% of all the residents on or a road identified
[4:35]
that they wanted only
[4:37]
To speed bumps and two additional stop signs.
[4:40]
But the only compromise option provided was three speed Watch,
[4:45]
, which which isn't materially different. .
[4:48]
The top section isn't directly relevant today but shows that
[4:51]
prior request last year to obtain funding for 12 speed
[4:55]
bumps and asserting that there was 63% support. .
[4:59]
But that was because the residents weren't informed about what
[5:03]
was being proposed predominantly enough to give that kind of
[5:07]
a result, and there was a similar nondisclosure for
[5:10]
Bronze Grove Road. .
[5:13]
That was partially offset because prior to the end of
[5:15]
the voting period, , they discovered did not
[5:18]
Non disclosure at least hundreds of people did enough to
[5:22]
change what happened. .
[5:24]
Now there's two summary video links on slide number two,
[5:27]
and they provide further background on what then led
[5:30]
to a re vote because of these problems. .
[5:32]
For the residents for Brahms girlfriend in Park Royal in
[5:36]
general, but these ones were the most materially affected.
[5:40]
.
[5:41]
Now slide number five.
[5:43]
This one helps to clarify the understanding about why the
[5:49]
compromise options. .
[5:50]
I know that the level of support for the compromise
[5:53]
options of four speed bombs since three speed bumps now
[5:57]
whether it's for a maximum number of speed bumps.
[5:59]
That's what you want, or if you don't want
[6:01]
any or anything in between, when none of the
[6:04]
options that are available gets more than 50%. .
[6:08]
Then the individuals at the extreme.
[6:11]
Would reasonably be assumed to take a default to the
[6:14]
next closest option. .
[6:16]
If you do that, In the case of Bronze
[6:18]
Grove, you had end up with 100% of the
[6:21]
people who voted supporting the compromise option, not 5100%.
[6:26]
.
[6:27]
Um with regards to or road there's to compromise options.
[6:31]
62% would take the one with three speed bumps.
[6:34]
The question is how that compares with what's in
[6:38]
the agenda. 10.1 information provided to you instead of
[6:42]
four speed bumps for Brahms Grove. It's saying 10
[6:45]
speedboats. .
[6:47]
And it's saying there's 56% support.
[6:49]
Which makes no sense, and I'll explain how that
[6:52]
happened. .
[6:53]
Because the support is actually
[6:56]
26% and even that is overstated for our road.
[7:01]
The agenda. 10.1 says that
[7:05]
Support for six speed bumps. Not three is 61%.
[7:09]
. But the facts are
[7:11]
That the support is no higher than 30%.
[7:15]
Now slide number six.
[7:18]
This is a little bit heavy. I hope some
[7:20]
people had a chance to review it. First going
[7:22]
left to right. The columns are the number of
[7:24]
speed bumps. .
[7:26]
The number of residents voting percentage voting for the different
[7:30]
options. .
[7:32]
And you can see 26% that voted for 10 speed
[7:37]
bumps. .
[7:38]
Not 50 some percent and 30% for six speed bumps.
[7:42]
.
[7:43]
And then the second last column is the compromise option.
[7:48]
And as you can see, the 100% is
[7:49]
if as these people at the extremes moved to a
[7:52]
compromise position
[7:54]
And then the sixth one. We probably don't need
[7:56]
to get into it. So what happens if you
[7:58]
simply ignore people that don't want speed bumps? ?
[8:02]
Now, as noted the percentage support used to justify
[8:05]
10.1. .
[8:06]
Relies upon this issue of as you can see the
[8:10]
start of the 56% in the 61% of the total
[8:14]
in the second quarter and the second box column. .
[8:17]
All that represents is the number of people that said
[8:20]
yes to traffic coming. However, they define traffic
[8:24]
calming. .
[8:26]
But
[8:27]
But they certainly didn't support what commissioner right is proposing.
[8:31]
And that raises a fundamental question. That is.
[8:33]
There is a mandate that's been expressed by his
[8:35]
operations demonstrated by his operations and demonstrated by the funding
[8:40]
request, , And it's this
[8:42]
If residents support traffic, calming.
[8:45]
Then it is not their business. How many speed
[8:47]
bumps we install? I believe they're actually operating without
[8:51]
understanding. The question is whether or not collectively Council
[8:54]
has given them that as a mandate because it completely
[8:57]
contradicts the notion that residents are voting for things. .
[9:01]
Assuming that's not the mandate and the agenda. 10.1
[9:04]
funding request should be modified. .
[9:06]
For those roads and instead reflect the compromise options implied
[9:09]
by the voting of residents. Now, all kinds
[9:13]
All councilors want to have a good working relationship with
[9:16]
commissioner right. .
[9:18]
And at the same time they want to demonstrate respect
[9:21]
for the views of residents. So for purposes of
[9:24]
agenda 10.1 to avoid unnecessarily created an awkward situation for
[9:29]
our new war to councilor of intellectual and for other
[9:33]
councilors as they prepare to ask questions and decide how
[9:36]
to vote on agenda 10.1. .
[9:38]
It would be helpful procedurally. If the chair Councilor
[9:42]
Mahoney might give commissioner right the opportunity to first identify
[9:47]
the council members whether he was receptive to modifying his
[9:50]
proposal for those two proposal for those two roadways. .
[9:54]
In order in order to be consistent with the voting
[9:56]
results. Commissioner right could identify the council members the
[10:01]
approximate financial effect of such modifications. I expect it's
[10:03]
not very material, , and it's less of anything. .
[10:06]
Then all the council members would have the opportunity of
[10:09]
being able to simultaneously support commissioner rights request for funding
[10:14]
and also respect the vote by war to residents now
[10:18]
have modified my intended addendum comments to instead address a
[10:23]
specific example with regards to slide nine. .
[10:28]
Slide nine is referencing other wards. I'm going to
[10:30]
give you an example. And I'm not positive on
[10:32]
the details of this at all. But in Ward
[10:35]
three, for example, and that came to mind
[10:37]
partly because Queen Frederica Street when I looked at what
[10:40]
was in the 10.1 agenda, had a very I
[10:43]
think was 51% or 53%, , something like that. .
[10:46]
So I took that as an example and try to
[10:49]
find information, though it's been deleted from the website.
[10:52]
.
[10:53]
And, um, you may find that there's hundreds
[10:56]
of residents are angry about what ends up happening because
[10:59]
they don't know what's going to happen similar to what
[11:01]
happened in the war to prior to interim councilor Pat
[11:05]
Mullen, , arranging for a revote. .
[11:08]
The information may not have been disclosed to Ward three
[11:10]
residents about what was going on. In the case
[11:13]
of Golden Archerd, for example, there's no options.
[11:16]
.
[11:17]
Provided that suggests that the letter they received did not
[11:21]
disclose the number of proposed speed bonds and the Web
[11:24]
page link that was provided to them also does not
[11:27]
disclose it. . The commentary. . The links
[11:30]
The only place that appears in a tab. No
[11:32]
reference is made to the tab. So that's what
[11:35]
happened in war. Two presidents didn't have a clue
[11:38]
what was happening. If you go down the Web
[11:39]
page route, it's suggesting there's a survey and it's
[11:43]
suggesting that there is going to be a
[11:46]
Community meeting, and that's not what happened.
[11:49]
So it seems unreasonable for an uninformed group of people
[11:52]
to be making a decision may continue for a bit.
[11:55]
I would encourage you to wrap up. It
[11:57]
has been a full force. Um, presentation in
[11:59]
a full 10 minutes. Sounds good, and I
[12:03]
don't know of similar concerns apply elsewhere to other awards,
[12:06]
But you know, the other things I was
[12:11]
going to mention, are things that should be done.
[12:13]
.
[12:13]
I think there should be explicit provisions for disclosure in
[12:17]
the surveys in the funding requests in what's on the
[12:22]
website, all kinds of things, and once voting
[12:26]
has taken place. Residents should be able to access
[12:28]
online versions right now. It's deleted for not for
[12:31]
the award to stuff
[12:33]
Because cancer Ted, I don't think has come to
[12:36]
a settled agreement with the commissioner. .
[12:38]
But I think for others have been deleted. And
[12:42]
I think that's because of a policy that an agreement
[12:44]
between the counselors. Anderson, can you please wrap
[12:47]
up, sir? And this is my final point.
[12:49]
Other than returning to what I originally asked about
[12:52]
war, , too. .
[12:53]
I think counselors Karen Ross and others had an agreement.
[12:58]
.
[12:58]
For council purposes that councilors could not would not oppose
[13:03]
whatever they wanted to do with gas tax funds. .
[13:06]
At a council meeting regardless of what residents say and
[13:10]
I think that's fundamentally wrong for council. Thank you.
[13:13]
.
[13:13]
Thank you, sir. I will go to the
[13:14]
board Councilor Maria
[13:18]
I just was curious about one question. Can we
[13:20]
just go back to Brahms Grove Road? Your slide
[13:24]
on Brahms. . Grover Brahms Grove. . Sure. .
[13:29]
Ah, probably true. You just passed it.
[13:31]
Yes, , I'm sorry. .
[13:35]
Sorry. What was the question? No, not
[13:38]
this one, the next one, the next one
[13:40]
or wrote
[13:41]
Where you had the numbers of people. Oh,
[13:43]
sure, sure. There. These are all I
[13:46]
wanna do. Clarify was when you come to 56%.
[13:50]
There's no double counting right? So we don't
[13:52]
have
[13:53]
In the 26% people who are
[13:57]
Because people who want 10 presumably also good with four,
[14:01]
so all I wanted to make sure was there
[14:03]
is no double count. I just agree with that.
[14:05]
I'm just asking staff, though. Is there
[14:07]
any double counting or there is no double counting. .
[14:11]
Three chairman Tony the counselor, Djamila So as an
[14:15]
example, counselor in terms of Bronze Cove. The
[14:17]
way the survey was set up is that it initially
[14:20]
opens up with a broad question. Do you support
[14:24]
traffic coming in your neighborhood? And it's almost like
[14:27]
a yes no kind of response. And as an
[14:30]
example in that 1 56% of the respondents said,
[14:33]
Yes, , we support traffic, , calming. .
[14:35]
So then that that group of people then goes on
[14:37]
to the next phase of the survey, which then
[14:39]
presents a few options for them to vote on. .
[14:42]
And then what staff do is compiled the results of
[14:44]
that vote, and in the in the example of
[14:47]
bonds Grove, it was option one that received the
[14:49]
most support from the people that supported traffic coming. .
[14:53]
And then we take that information. And then we
[14:55]
work with the ward councilor to lay that out and
[14:57]
then to come up with a plan for traffic coming
[15:00]
for that neighborhood, So that's really in general how
[15:03]
that process worked. So just so I understand because
[15:06]
I did a similar one on Paisley. But I
[15:08]
think we did a little bit differently. As I
[15:10]
just want to understand our 56% of the people who
[15:14]
live on that street wants some kind of speed bumps,
[15:17]
not traffic coming, but speed bumps. Would
[15:20]
that be correct? ?
[15:21]
So out of the amount of responding So an example
[15:26]
on bonds. Grove 205 households completed the survey.
[15:30]
So that's not saying everyone completed the survey. And
[15:32]
of those respondents, 56% said, yes to traffic
[15:36]
calming. .
[15:37]
But what percentage of the streets said Yes to traffic
[15:40]
coming. We typically don't measure the overall we only
[15:44]
go with the response rate. So the people that
[15:47]
so people that don't respond at all Don't get counted
[15:50]
into the response. So it's either so that we
[15:52]
get the responses back. So we surveyed the whole
[15:54]
street. Right this case. We got 205 households
[15:58]
and out of that response. We then take that
[16:00]
percentage. Fair enough. 56% of the 206 wanted
[16:04]
speed bumps, not traffic coming. That's what I'm
[16:06]
trying to understand. .
[16:07]
So that it was because what we're proposing is not
[16:10]
just speed bumps. There is a mix of stop
[16:12]
signs raised raised. .
[16:14]
Pedestrian crossings and speed traffic calming. So the question
[16:17]
was broad. Is it do you support traffic coming
[16:19]
on your street? And then if the answer was
[16:21]
Yes, then the detail goes in and sort of
[16:24]
the next part of the survey, which was option
[16:26]
one or option two. And then we looked at
[16:28]
the response from that part of the survey to come
[16:30]
back to the council and present that information and work
[16:33]
towards a plan. . So it is possible that
[16:38]
Of the 206. Not a majority want speed bumps,
[16:42]
but they're okay with other parts of speed traffic
[16:45]
coming right, But we haven't drilled down to because
[16:48]
speed bumps tend to be very divisive. And it's
[16:50]
of course, up to individual ward councilors. What
[16:53]
I know Councilor Mahoney had one where 100% of the
[16:56]
street wanted the speed bumps until they didn't want them.
[17:00]
So and I have had the same issue on
[17:03]
Paisley where you do surveys and then people wake up
[17:05]
later. So it is something I mean, it's
[17:07]
an interesting point. .
[17:08]
And at what point do you say?
[17:10]
It's warranted technically. So it's a safety issue versus
[17:14]
do people wanted on their streets. . So I
[17:17]
I'm still not clear, though. Looks like we
[17:20]
don't have a number for speed bumps. We have
[17:23]
a number for traffic, calming and a buffet or
[17:27]
menu of items that people are saying yes, but
[17:29]
the most contentious ones tend to be speed bumps.
[17:32]
So maybe going forward. We need to look at
[17:35]
that. Thank you. Thank you, Councilor Councilor
[17:38]
Fonseca. .
[17:39]
Thank you, Hugh chair, no questions to the
[17:42]
delegate or two staff, but since War three was
[17:45]
named, I just want to make it very clear.
[17:49]
. Um, , that
[17:52]
In all the instances in Ward three where there has
[17:55]
been a request from residents in the community for traffic,
[17:59]
, calming, , Um, , I have
[18:04]
Went through a process with the residents in the community.
[18:09]
.
[18:10]
And with staff.
[18:12]
To have a very, very fulsome understanding. Uh
[18:18]
and, , um
[18:20]
Study of the the roadway where the residents in that
[18:26]
neighborhood
[18:28]
Have inquired about traffic coming calming, including speed bumps,
[18:35]
and that has included not only the initial,
[18:41]
um communication out to the community, which goes through
[18:46]
through, , um, , staff
[18:49]
Ah, along with multiple multiple community meetings, Um,
[18:56]
virtual in person down to the point where I
[19:01]
have, , actually, , uh
[19:04]
Divided the sections of the road into three or four
[19:09]
parts. . Uh and had, , um
[19:14]
In some cases along about beaches as an example,
[19:17]
that roadway is almost three kilometers long. I put
[19:21]
out I think over 9000 letters I had, , uh
[19:28]
Perhaps 10 community meetings. Uh and then I also
[19:33]
engaged the Rockwood Homeowners Association. . Ah, ,
[19:38]
In particular to that neighborhood and in further further study
[19:44]
of the roadway, So just to be clear because
[19:49]
you said in your remarks that the community was not
[19:52]
engaged in more three, sure making, making it
[19:55]
clear that in all because you reference Ward three. .
[20:00]
I just wanted to make it clear that in all
[20:03]
the cases ah in, uh in Ward three,
[20:07]
where the request has come from the community for some
[20:13]
form of traffic coming to be put on the roadway,
[20:16]
, I have ensured and exhausted. .
[20:19]
Pretty much all avenues with regards to communicating, uh,
[20:24]
to the community about the traffic coming and at
[20:27]
the end of the day
[20:29]
We have to make a decision at some point as
[20:31]
to whether or not um
[20:33]
The technical experts and the proposal that is being put
[20:36]
in place is going to be right for that roadway.
[20:39]
. But I did want to clarify. . Ah
[20:43]
Factually that I have had many meetings. And if
[20:46]
you would like the details of that you can contact
[20:48]
my office. Thank you very much, Mr.
[20:51]
Anderson. This isn't a debate. I think you've
[20:54]
been given your 10 minutes. I'd like to just
[20:55]
go through the council so they can do that.
[20:57]
And I think you understand, clarify One part give
[21:01]
you 10 minutes to to to do it, And
[21:04]
this is an opportunity for council. We're not going
[21:06]
back and forth debate. We're trying to address the
[21:09]
The issues in like councilor speak as you were given
[21:11]
the opportunity Counselor Parish. .
[21:15]
Yes. I haven't had any bad experiences like you
[21:18]
were. Everybody wanted them, Then nobody wanted them.
[21:20]
I'm just curious. Um, we used to
[21:23]
have temporary ones that you could throw across the road
[21:26]
and see if people want to change their minds.
[21:29]
Do we still have those? ?
[21:31]
Three Mr Charity Counselor Parish we had We don't use
[21:34]
them as much anymore. But they were when we
[21:36]
first started getting into the business of traffic coming now
[21:38]
that there are quite a few within the city,
[21:41]
it's easier for us to demonstrate Go to the street,
[21:43]
and you can see the insulation that's in place.
[21:45]
So we try and get out of the amount
[21:47]
of labor that's involved in installation and then removing it
[21:50]
later on. We tend not to use the temporary
[21:53]
ones as much, but it is. It is
[21:54]
an available option. I just wanted to know that.
[21:56]
. Thank you. .
[21:57]
Thank you, Councilor just for clarification. I did
[22:00]
have one that had 100% in them when they were
[22:02]
put in something like them. It's the unintended consequences
[22:04]
As we deal with and quite a regular basis.
[22:06]
Councilor Hong Thank you through the chair, and I
[22:11]
want to thank the resident for coming in today and
[22:13]
sharing his concerns. We've spoken a number of times
[22:17]
about this did want to apologize for being late.
[22:20]
We were at the International Women's Day event, and
[22:23]
I was
[22:23]
Speaking with the number of residents, students from Clark's
[22:26]
in high school and Lauren Park High School who are
[22:28]
very engaged and amazing young women who want to be
[22:33]
involved in our city, and actually, we're talking
[22:35]
about some of the challenges of of speeding and safety
[22:39]
issues along Brahms Grove and Lauren Park Road, which
[22:43]
we have a number of measures there. .
[22:45]
Um, I do acknowledge that I think it is
[22:49]
something that has come up quite a bit in the
[22:51]
in the in the ward. I know. Previous
[22:54]
counselors have emphasized this and I think it's appropriate.
[22:59]
It's our Vision zero mission to prevent these incidents from
[23:05]
happening in our communities. .
[23:07]
And we know for the most part. It is
[23:09]
our own residents and neighbors who are who are facing
[23:12]
these problems, and there are the ones who are
[23:14]
likely also facing the consequences for speeding. .
[23:20]
We will be debating this later. And so I'm
[23:22]
happy to engage further on traffic coming in general,
[23:25]
when we're when we get to the to the item
[23:28]
on the agenda. I do want to acknowledge that
[23:31]
it is just where the chair said it is not
[23:34]
just not really a back and forth debate here,
[23:36]
but, um, that you do have a legitimate
[23:40]
point. . In acknowledging that there are residents who are
[23:43]
Um, not in favor that we should consider as
[23:47]
part of the mathematics around, Um, numbers and
[23:51]
the types of traffic coming that we do employ,
[23:54]
but I think we've learned a lot and I think
[23:57]
the department has done a good job of receiving that
[24:01]
feedback and calculating what would be appropriate. .
[24:06]
Measures moving forward. Not every calming measure is a
[24:09]
speed bump. Not every solution is a bollard and
[24:13]
you know there are road diets. There's so many
[24:15]
tools that we have in our toolbox that I know
[24:17]
the city staff are eerily exploring, and I look
[24:22]
forward to, uh to them continuing to do that,
[24:25]
, in this instance in our area. .
[24:27]
Um, chair I'm happy to move my residence deputation.
[24:31]
.
[24:32]
Thank you, Councilor Ted Joe and very well said,
[24:35]
and I think we all do agree. It's
[24:37]
not a perfect science or an easy solution. We
[24:39]
do try to communicate as best as we possibly can.
[24:41]
With residents to gauge supporter or non support.
[24:45]
I will just speak as I do have one on
[24:48]
this 10.1 as well in Ward eight that I have
[24:51]
engaged with the residents and another one that I got
[24:53]
100% support from from the residents and have had some
[24:56]
public meetings and consultations so
[24:59]
I certainly appreciate you coming forward, Mr Anderson and
[25:02]
welcome to stick around when 10.1 comes forward and listen
[25:05]
to the debate, So the deputy and his moved
[25:07]
by councilor to go all in favor. .
[25:09]
That is carried. Thank you.
[25:13]
Moving on to public question. Period. Madam clerk.
[25:16]
. Do we have a
[25:19]

[25:25]

[25:48]
To a person is limited to two questions and much
[25:51]
must pertain specific items on the current agenda, and
[25:54]

[25:57]

[25:58]
Three. The total speaking time shall be five minutes
[26:01]
maximum per speaker unless extended by the mayor or the
[26:04]
chair and for any response, not provided at the
[26:08]

[26:12]
I ran out of room here.
[26:19]
12. I think you get the gist. My
[26:23]
page cut off. So response. Thank you.
[26:27]
I don't have response in my by the Chanda. .
[26:30]
Um, is the resident online?
[26:34]
Okay? Yes, I am. Good morning.
[26:36]
Good morning. .
[26:38]
Yes, Before I begin, I would like to
[26:40]
clarify counter Fonseca's comments with respect to Ward three.
[26:44]
She did respectfully count to everyone. It counts with
[26:49]
reference to the Rockwood area and two about beaches.
[26:52]
And today I
[26:54]
I will be addressing the Applewood Heights area of war,
[26:58]
three of which the three streets are noted in
[27:01]
today's traffic Common report, So the sees that the
[27:05]
questions please survey results of respondents for Constitution at 53%
[27:11]
and Queen Federica at 51% are very close difference between
[27:15]
respondents who are in favor. .
[27:17]
Of and who oppose this traffic comic proposal and with
[27:21]
the undecided respondents, the actual percentage differences even less.
[27:25]
.
[27:26]
For Constitution Boulevard from the 100 responded to this combined
[27:31]
survey with Queen Federica. The difference between yesterday.
[27:34]
No around the side is only six people for Queen
[27:38]
Federica from the 100 respondents again to the combined service
[27:41]
with constitution. The difference is only two respondents.
[27:45]
The question of why the online survey for these two
[27:47]
roadways was combined on one survey has been asked city
[27:51]
staff and waiting for their response. .
[27:53]
It is requested that because of the small differences in
[27:56]
respondents and which are not most of the community as
[28:00]
well as the fact that the city survey was combined
[28:02]
for both Constitution and Queen Federica during the summer months
[28:06]
of July and August, only better review be taken
[28:09]
to reconsider the traffic kami speed humps for these two
[28:12]
streets before any staff recommendation is made. The question
[28:16]
is, can the roadways of Queer Constitution Boulevard and
[28:19]
Queen Federica not included in today's recommendation for approval? ?
[28:23]
All due to the very close results and the results
[28:26]
for additional consideration by city staff for community feedback be
[28:30]
made. .
[28:32]
Question number two for the Golden Orchard traffic calming proposal
[28:36]
from floor Street to Dixie. The total responders were
[28:39]
27 from this 18 in favor and nine opposing the
[28:44]
speed up placement for this area. There were issues
[28:48]
of delays in postal delivery this past year, and
[28:51]
there are residents who have both on and off quote
[28:53]
an orchard who would be impacted and who did not
[28:56]
know about this plan nor able to successfully complete the
[28:59]
online survey. . These may be the reason
[29:02]
As as to the low responsible. Only 27 completed
[29:05]
surveys from that community for this proposal. .
[29:09]
And the question is considering the above local issues.
[29:12]
Can the Golden Orchard proposal from floor to Dixie not
[29:16]
be included in today's recommendation? And because we considered
[29:19]
what request for feedback from this community, both in
[29:23]
paper and all my surveys be made available to residents
[29:26]
who live on and off court an orchard before any
[29:29]
decisions are recommended on how to proceed. And please
[29:33]
just add after hearing the deputation by resident Don Anderson
[29:37]
on traffic, , calming for all road
[29:39]
It appears that similar concerns are shared by residents and
[29:42]
other wards were results, as provided in today's traffic
[29:45]
Common report show 60 about 61%, or less higher
[29:51]
standard of approval is needed for proposed roadways to be
[29:54]
recommended, as are for other roadways presented in today's
[29:57]
report of 80% or higher the same measure, or
[30:01]
at least approval from a minimum of 75% of respondents
[30:05]
is requested to be used for all
[30:07]
Traffic calming world with recommendations that are being considered as
[30:11]
well. More direct information to the community is needed,
[30:15]
as well as attention to timing and availability of
[30:17]
surveys and how survey questions are addressed. And simply
[30:21]
to add that there were no community meetings whatsoever held
[30:25]
for these particular three world ways in that war,
[30:28]
three in the applewood area. Thank you very much,
[30:31]
, and I look forward to the responses. .
[30:35]
Thank you.
[30:37]
Very much for your, um deputation counselor. Fonseca
[30:42]
to thank you through you chair. Perhaps we should
[30:46]
just move 10.1 forward. .
[30:49]
Seeing what I was. We're having discussions or no,
[30:51]
I'm happy to if it's the will a council
[30:53]
as everybody Okay with moving 10.1 forward in favor,
[30:57]
okay, it has moved forward and we can discuss
[30:59]
10.1 now. .
[31:00]
Okay? And I guess with regards to the questions
[31:05]
that Athena raised, they were to staff. So
[31:09]
if staff can clarify the those questions, and then
[31:12]
I have a couple of follow up questions. .
[31:17]
Three, Mr Chaired a council for Sega and ask
[31:18]
Colin Patterson to come forward to give more detail about
[31:21]
the surveys. But in general counselor the surveys as
[31:23]
you're aware, we're follow our traditional process. And
[31:26]
I think the deputy and raised questions in terms of
[31:29]
the percentage of overall support, and that's something that
[31:33]
outlined in the report today is we are recommending traffic,
[31:37]
, calming. .
[31:37]
To a counselor to Joe's point, really around the
[31:39]
notion of vision zero and road safety, So that's
[31:41]
our primary function is that the councilor Ward Councilor is
[31:44]
aware and staff everywhere of concerns that have come forward
[31:47]
with speeding in these neighborhoods and in absence of redesigning
[31:51]
the whole street traffic calming is is an easy approach
[31:53]
for us to retrofit a street to slow vehicles down
[31:57]
and to provide a safer environment. So that's our
[31:59]
overall objective. Responding to our direction around Vision zero
[32:03]
and so, with our survey responses, we are
[32:05]
looking for support for traffic coming from the
[32:07]
Unity.
[32:08]
It was raised earlier that these are sometimes every you
[32:13]
know, after the traffic coming device goes in.
[32:15]
There is feedback that some people don't like it there.
[32:18]
Dr is disrupted, But that is the intention
[32:21]
is that people don't have the same access to the
[32:23]
street. They did in terms of being able to
[32:25]
speed or go at the speed that they desire.
[32:27]
So we are looking for support from the community and
[32:30]
we're open. .
[32:31]
And wish to be transparent in our process, and
[32:33]
hence, the report today outlines all of the streets
[32:36]
that were recommending traffic calming be installed on so with
[32:40]
that, Mr Chair. I think I'll turn it
[32:41]
over to college talk more specifics about the survey in
[32:44]
that area. .
[32:46]
Good morning through the chair to cancel Fonseca with respect
[32:50]
to why we combine multiple roadways into one survey.
[32:55]
The simple answer is often we want to receive feedback
[32:58]
from the same group of residents on the on both
[33:00]
projects. So in the case of Constitution and Queen
[33:03]
Fredricka, , the same neighborhood residents are asked. .
[33:07]
Both questions whether they support traffic coming on Constitution and
[33:11]
Queen Frederica, and that is in the case of
[33:13]
that survey. It was, I believe the entire
[33:17]
neighborhood, not just the residents that were on that
[33:19]
street, so there's often a much different opinion,
[33:23]
depending on where that response comes from the residents who
[33:25]
live on these roadways who are dealing with the consistent
[33:29]
speeding concerns and aggressive driving. .
[33:31]
Are often a little bit more supportive than some residents
[33:34]
that may live elsewhere in the neighborhood and don't have
[33:36]
to deal with the the, uh, driving behavior
[33:41]
on those roadways. With respect to the timing of
[33:44]
those surveys they were issued. I believe late spring
[33:48]
and carried on into the summer. I believe both
[33:52]
surveys were extended for that reason to make sure that
[33:55]
we accommodated any and all feedback that we could receive
[33:59]
from the public. . So
[34:01]
Even after those surveys, the date closes. We
[34:05]
will not discount any feedback that's received, if if,
[34:08]
at any point in time, residents of those
[34:11]
neighborhoods want to provide feedback. We will collect that
[34:14]
in summarize, and it would be reflected in the
[34:17]
numbers in the report. .
[34:18]
I should also clarify that all of the information related
[34:23]
to the quantity of devices proposed types the locations it's
[34:28]
always posted on the city's website for anyone who has
[34:31]
questions about what exactly is being proposed, and where
[34:34]
that might be. .
[34:38]
Councilor for the secret Anything further, So that was
[34:42]
one of my questions with regards to the posting of
[34:44]
the actual Ah
[34:47]
Proposed design.
[34:49]
Of of traffic calming. Ah, you answered that
[34:54]
and just to clarify with regards to Queen Fredricka Constitution
[34:59]
and this leg of Golden Orchard. .
[35:04]
The first step in the process is
[35:06]
For when, when a when a request or a
[35:09]
concern comes from residents is to is for staff to
[35:14]
go out and US speed study on the roadway and
[35:19]
the first recommendations are always around. Pass it passive
[35:25]
traffic calming, , are they not? ?
[35:28]
Yes or no? Are they passive? Yes.
[35:31]
Our digital boards also recommended yes. Is there also
[35:37]
often engagement or requests for police to be out to,
[35:44]
Um um, study or collaborate with the residents?
[35:48]
?
[35:48]
Ah ah, ah, and city staff on the
[35:51]
particular roadway to try to address or
[35:56]
Get down to what the real issues are with motors
[35:59]
behavior. .
[35:59]
Yes. And were these done? I know the
[36:03]
answer to this. But for the public where these
[36:06]
done on Queen Frederica Constitution and this leg of Golden
[36:10]
Orchard, Yes. Okay. Thank you very much.
[36:13]
Thank you, Mr Chair. Thank you.
[36:14]
Councilor Fonseca counseled Asco. .
[36:18]
Thank you through the chair, and I just wanted
[36:20]
to speak actually to the report itself, and I
[36:23]
know just in terms of the way that it came
[36:26]
forward. . It's one that I know that are
[36:31]
Our team at the city. It's talk about challenging
[36:36]
role that they're in. It's trying to find that
[36:38]
right mix of finding road safety at the same time
[36:43]
as allowing traffic to pass etcetera literally trying to make
[36:48]
everybody happy and in an imperfect world, and it's
[36:51]
it's a real challenge definitely know that we see a
[36:53]
lot of it Safety committee. .
[36:56]
And also each of our offices.
[36:59]
Bar. Nana get an awful lot of calls.
[37:02]
I know that you know, from from the mayor's
[37:04]
office all the way through all of us and coming
[37:07]
up with these different things, so I just would
[37:10]
like to speak on behalf of
[37:13]
The work that's gone into this. It's it's never
[37:16]
taken lightly. I always know that when it comes
[37:19]
to our team
[37:21]
They're always saying that Let's try every other measure before
[37:24]
you go and get into that because it's such a
[37:26]
blunt instrument that that gets prescribed, , but
[37:31]
You know, it's also one that was as counselors.
[37:34]
We tend to know our communities pretty well because
[37:37]
we're engaging with them all the time. And these
[37:39]
are things that we do here and so
[37:42]
You know the work that's gone into this report.
[37:45]
I know for the streets and Ward one. I
[37:47]
wanted to say a profound thank you for that. .
[37:51]
Um, in terms of the work that has gone
[37:52]
in the survey results, I think also speak for
[37:57]
themselves in terms of what goes in, but you
[38:00]
know it's again imperfect, but at the same time,
[38:03]
if quite frankly, if everybody was doing the
[38:06]
speed limit
[38:07]
We wouldn't be going through all this and to begin
[38:09]
with, but unfortunately, that's just not the case
[38:13]
and a few people that I think we all probably
[38:15]
have saying, Why would you want to do this?
[38:18]
And they tend to be the worst offenders because
[38:20]
they just don't want to have these types of measures
[38:21]
in place. So at the appropriate time, myself
[38:25]
or whoever would move it, I'm I'm happy that
[38:29]
this is coming forward and that we're looking to get
[38:31]
this done in the spring season ahead. .
[38:34]
I just wanted to say thanks to staff for all
[38:36]
your work on this. Thank you. Councilor,
[38:39]
disco counselor. .
[38:41]
Thank you through the chair.
[38:44]
This is we have some of us knew folks here.
[38:48]
We've only been here 16 weeks now. 15
[38:51]
weeks. . I think we're in
[38:52]
And we haven't had a lot of opportunity to talk
[38:55]
about some of these issues. I want to take
[38:57]
a minute to really
[38:59]
Reaffirm our position, at least as a council and
[39:03]
for a number of new folks that we do believe
[39:07]
in the in the Vision, zero mandate and policy
[39:09]
of the city. .
[39:10]
Um, because at the end of the day,
[39:12]
we're talking about the lives and well being of our
[39:15]
residents, and it's completely preventable based on the actions
[39:21]
of our city and of its residents. .
[39:24]
And
[39:25]
The question that we're asking is how much are we
[39:27]
willing to be inconvenienced? ?
[39:29]
To protect those people. Certainly there are accidents that
[39:32]
are at the fault of cyclists or pedestrians, and
[39:36]
we need better education all around. .
[39:39]
But a quick look at the stats from the region
[39:41]
of peal shows that there were 327 deaths from collisions
[39:46]
in the last decade. . 17 cyclists 113 pedestrians. .
[39:51]
And then you look at the studies around traffic,
[39:54]
calming and approximate pedestrian survival rate. .
[39:58]
And I'll tell you, my partner. She's
[40:02]
Mhm better than me and so many ways and works
[40:06]
at sick kids emergency
[40:08]
And she will tell you their kid that shows up
[40:10]
at 30 kilometers an hour is going to make it
[40:12]
kid that gets hit at 40. Kilometers an hour
[40:14]
has a 60% chance. The kid that gets hit
[40:17]
at 50, kilometers an hour has a 20% chance
[40:20]
of survival. .
[40:22]
And they know that they know that coming in.
[40:24]
They know that coming into the emergency room that this
[40:26]
kid got hit by a car at 50 kilometers an
[40:28]
hour, which is easily where most people drive in
[40:30]
this city in residential neighborhoods. .
[40:32]
Is not going to make it.
[40:35]
So is that so inconvenient for us to slow down
[40:39]
that we think that this is something that we need
[40:41]
to we need to look past. . So
[40:44]
That's where I'm coming from. I've got young kids.
[40:46]
They're 8, 10 and 12 and certainly they
[40:48]
need to be more responsible in terms of how they
[40:50]
cross the street. .
[40:51]
And how they interact in their neighborhoods. And we
[40:54]
are trying to make safer neighborhoods. But at the
[40:56]
end of the day, sometimes a government um an
[41:00]
agency, whatever it is needs to come in and
[41:02]
say We need to wear seatbelts. We need to
[41:04]
impose traffic coming. We need to have a red
[41:07]
light cameras. We need to do these things for
[41:09]
the safety of our community, and they're not always
[41:12]
popular. .
[41:12]
But sometimes that's what we need to do.
[41:15]
And we're trying to find the best ways possible to
[41:18]
move forward so that we get buying from residents and
[41:21]
buying from the community to understand that we're doing this
[41:23]
as part of our priorities. If this is no
[41:26]
longer a priority, and we don't want to do
[41:27]
that, then we should debate that we should talk
[41:29]
about how we're willing to sacrifice. You know those
[41:32]
lives and those accidents because it's their own fault and
[41:35]
that they should be more careful when they're crossing the
[41:37]
street. .
[41:38]
But the inconvenience of having to slow down is just
[41:40]
too much for us to bear for that, If
[41:42]
that's the debate that people want to have that I'm
[41:44]
happy to have that, But I don't think that
[41:47]
what the city is trying to do is in any
[41:50]
way inappropriate and that they have learned quite a bit
[41:53]
in terms of what is and is not a useful
[41:55]
tool, and not every tool has to be a
[41:57]
speed bump. There are bollards. There are road
[41:59]
diets, , there are protected bike lanes. .
[42:02]
There are so many things that I like in my
[42:04]
neighborhood to where we have raised crosswalks in front of
[42:06]
schools, and this is an ongoing discussion. This
[42:10]
isn't the end of the beyond. And all of
[42:12]
traffic coming. This is how are we going to
[42:14]
continue to progress to find solutions to try and make
[42:18]
our roads as safe as possible? ?
[42:20]
I think this is entirely appropriate action for us to
[42:24]
take and for this council to endorse for our staff
[42:27]
who are consulting who are learning who are working with
[42:30]
experts to see what we can do in order to
[42:32]
reduce that because we look at the stats
[42:36]
And you think about all these people? There's there's
[42:38]
There's families behind these behind these stories and
[42:42]
You know, I wish we had an opportunity to
[42:44]
mark every single time Somebody passed away because of an
[42:47]
accident on the road. But not just that.
[42:49]
We have to think about all the accidents that don't
[42:52]
need to road dust as well. That don't lead
[42:53]
to fatalities. How many times are people getting maimed
[42:56]
and hit and they're injured? And then they have
[42:59]
years of recovery or permanently disabled. Because of that,
[43:02]
it's not just about the death is about how
[43:04]
are we making a safer, more sustainable, walkable
[43:07]
neighborhood everywhere and the fact that we have to retrofit
[43:09]
our city because our city wasn't built for that? ?
[43:12]
Is something that we're looking at right now. And
[43:14]
I think that's the courage that our council is taking
[43:17]
in order to do that that we've taken in the
[43:18]
past that we should continue to pursue moving forward.
[43:21]
Thank you. . Chair. .

everybody's attention. And that's really some of the tough
[43:33]
decisions and the reason that we move forward with a
[43:35]
lot of these initiatives. So I certainly appreciate your
[43:39]

[48:41]
Okay. Thank you, folks. That's unanimous down
[48:43]
to 10.3 my way. . 2024 bus procurement counselor. .
[48:49]
Thank you through the chair to commissioner, right?
[48:52]
No issue with what we're talking about here. I
[48:54]
think this is obviously what we need to update the
[48:58]
service and to improve our fleet as we're moving forward.
[49:03]
I do want to ask a couple questions in
[49:05]
terms of our these, um, done with the
[49:08]
intent of future proofing our fleet with the right equipment
[49:16]
Are we looking at? Is it all the things
[49:18]
that we've looked at? ? A few weeks? ?
[49:19]
Ago when we were there.
[49:21]
And is there an opportunity to really imagine the future
[49:26]
needs that the service will need in terms of,
[49:30]
um, you know, expanded capacity. The cameras.
[49:34]
We were talking about the display boards, things
[49:36]
like that, and then I also want to ask
[49:38]
a little bit about maybe the opportunity to revisit the
[49:43]
hydrogen. .
[49:43]
Um, pilot that we were exploring before understanding that
[49:48]
we did not have a provincial partner come to the
[49:51]
table, but the federals partner did come to the
[49:53]
table and that, you know, not withstanding this
[49:57]
particular motion. If that's something we could potentially reopened
[50:01]
to explore, what would it cost for us to
[50:03]
meet him? ?
[50:05]
That pilot need without necessarily getting that provincial funding and
[50:09]
could go back to the to the feds to ask
[50:11]
for more as well because I think that that's worth
[50:13]
doing and worth exploring, especially as we're going to
[50:16]
continue to expand the fleet over at my way,
[50:19]
and assuming this again is just for existing service,
[50:22]
and not for necessarily expanded service. .
[50:25]
Three Mr Chair to Councilor Ted Hose. So yes,
[50:28]
Counselor. You're right. This is our fleet
[50:30]
replacement plan that outlined and through the program. There
[50:34]
was an opportunity for us to fast track our fleet
[50:36]
replacement program And at the time we submitted for Ah
[50:42]
hybrid electric Busses, and that's what's being procured for
[50:46]
2024 bus order. So there's 82 hybrid electric Busses
[50:50]
very similar to the bus that you are on the
[50:52]
other day. In fact, that's one of that
[50:53]
was one of their newest Busses that arrive from the
[50:56]
Last procurement.
[50:57]
So it will be very similar in nature. And
[50:59]
obviously, this would go through public tender process.
[51:02]
The actual bus manufacturer at this point is not determined,
[51:04]
but the general features that you saw on the
[51:06]
bus in terms of you know, the state of
[51:08]
the art municipal Transit bus. That's what we would
[51:10]
be procuring with this. .
[51:12]
I would just kind of note that as we we
[51:14]
are moving forward with our transition to to net zero
[51:19]
Bus fleet, And so this is part of our
[51:21]
journey. This is aligned with our climate change goals
[51:24]
and hits our targets as an organization with the 2025
[51:28]
bus order. We should be in a position to
[51:30]
start to procure battery electric Busses. And so I
[51:33]
would suspect next year when we come back with the
[51:35]
2025 bus procurement. .
[51:37]
Um, will be in better shape because we will
[51:39]
have charging capacity and some some charging capacity available at
[51:44]
our seven IQ location that we toured a few weeks
[51:47]
ago, so that would be a sort of our
[51:49]
first step into the the Battery Electric bus determined phase.
[51:53]
.
[51:54]
Your comment around the hydrogen pilot? Yeah, that
[51:58]
is something that we were quite optimistic for. You
[52:01]
know, hydrogen as a net zero bus is seen
[52:05]
as a valid uh, product for my way in
[52:08]
terms of its range battery electric Busses while they are
[52:11]
improving, have range issues, especially on the type
[52:16]
of charging that's done. So if there's a depot
[52:18]
charging that's done overnight, the bus can go out
[52:21]
for a certain amount of time. But that's dictated
[52:23]
by the life of the bad. .
[52:24]
Marie and the duty cycle of the bus has to
[52:26]
come back to get charged. .
[52:28]
It does add a layer of complexity to our route
[52:30]
and schedule planning for my way. .
[52:33]
Whereas the hydrogen bus has a much longer range and
[52:36]
can almost align with our traditional way of scheduling those
[52:39]
Busses. So you know, we did provide counsel
[52:43]
sort of just a quick email memo update saying Here's
[52:45]
the status of that program would be happy to sort
[52:47]
of maybe bring back a report and have a more
[52:49]
fulsome conversation here about the hydrogen project, the benefits
[52:54]
that it does provide for my way. .
[52:57]
And where some of those gaps are potentially how those
[52:59]
gaps could get filled. So we'd be happy to
[53:00]
bring back a report on on that. Thank you.
[53:03]
Commissioner yesterday was fortunate to be at the TRC
[53:06]
a project green over at the airport, and they're
[53:10]
working on their fleet as well in terms of hydrogen,
[53:14]
and I think there's an opportunity there. This
[53:18]
just another quick question. Commissioner around the old Busses
[53:21]
were replacing. These are all just diesel only Busses.
[53:24]
. I'm assuming
[53:25]
And if we did need to still use them to
[53:27]
expand existing services is that possible. .
[53:30]
Three. Mr Charity counselor Ted Hose. So,
[53:32]
yes, So the replacement Our staff from Fleet is
[53:36]
here. Daryn riding their senior manager and his team
[53:38]
that we can comment more about the status of our
[53:40]
fleet. But these are replacement Busses, and the
[53:43]
Busses that are being replaced are at the end of
[53:45]
their useful life. And so they need to be
[53:47]
retired. And they would go through a plan to
[53:51]
get rid of those Busses and and bring on these
[53:53]
new Busses. So we're spending quite a bit on
[53:56]
maintenance of those older Busses and it would be it's
[53:59]
time that they reach the end of the relation. .
[54:01]
All right. Thank you. Thank you. Councilor
[54:03]
Councilor Hornick. Thank you very much. Mr Chair.
[54:06]
Yeah, and Commissioner, right. I mean,
[54:07]
I know we've talked lately about the need for
[54:09]
a new bus depot that we're going to have coming
[54:11]
up in the near future. I just wanted to
[54:13]
have that opportunity to express maybe again about that project
[54:16]
and the need from our higher levels of government to
[54:18]
support that if you have a moment to speak to
[54:19]
that, , sure. .
[54:21]
Through Mr Chair to Councilor Hornick, as outlined in
[54:24]
the housing plan recently. We did kind of flag,
[54:27]
the the improvements that my way needs to make
[54:31]
in order to move more people around the city that
[54:34]
could result of as a result of that housing plan.
[54:37]
And so we did flag within that a new
[54:39]
electric transit gradient northwest Mississauga. .
[54:42]
And as our we're kind of at the point now,
[54:45]
where in order to substantially grow our freedom to
[54:47]
continue to invest in my we do need to make
[54:50]
that investment in new maintenance facilities and and to support
[54:53]
our transition to a net zero fleet. We need
[54:57]
to construct a electric transit garage that would primarily be
[55:01]
for electric Busses, , and that would allow us to
[55:04]
Grow and expand into a net zero transit fleet and
[55:08]
then come back and make retrofits to our existing transit
[55:11]
facilities to allow them to operate in this sort of
[55:14]
hybrid environment where you still need diesel fuel, But
[55:18]
you also need to have electric charges on site as
[55:20]
well. So it is part of our overall strategy
[55:23]
and overall growth program. It is an expensive asset
[55:27]
to build. You know, we did put a
[55:29]
very rough number of about $500 million on that facility.
[55:32]
.
[55:32]
Which in my experience, seeing some recent tenders across
[55:36]
the country coming in for similar types of facilities were
[55:39]
not too far off the range on that. So
[55:41]
it is a significant ask within our capital program and
[55:44]
one that we are going to need federal and provincial
[55:46]
support in achieving this transition to a net zero Transit
[55:50]
fleet, and I would just note that it's not
[55:53]
just Mississauga that's in this position. All fleets across
[55:55]
the country are in the same position where
[55:58]
You know they have traditional diesel Busses now moving into
[56:03]
hybrid diesel electric. Ultimately, battery, electric or
[56:06]
hydrogen, and all these transit organizations are going to
[56:09]
need to make those similar investments in their transit fleet.
[56:12]
So it is an ask that I know as
[56:14]
an organization, the Canadian Urban Transit Association in the
[56:17]
Ontario Public Transit Association is raising awareness on and the
[56:21]
continued need to invest in facilities to support
[56:24]
Public transit transition to a net zero fleet.
[56:28]
Thank you so much. Commissioner. I think it's
[56:29]
just important that you know when we have these big
[56:31]
asks, we take that opportunity to remind the public
[56:33]
who watch that we do have these big things out
[56:36]
there and it's great that you know, a new
[56:37]
facility will be able to position ourselves for those better
[56:40]
power sources that are more net zero Beit Hydrogen Electric,
[56:43]
etcetera. So thank you very much, and
[56:45]
I'll make sure we keep this on the agenda.
[56:46]
Right. . Thank you. .
[56:48]
Great points, counselor, Hornick and thanks for highlighting
[56:50]
that I don't see any other speakers on the board.
[56:53]
Councilor Pedro Can I ask you to move this
[56:55]
forward, , so moved by Councilor Tahoe recorded vote? ?
[57:03]
Thank you folks that has passed unanimously down to 10.8
[57:07]
joint use funding agreement. . Counselor Parish. .
[57:13]
Jody is smiling.
[57:15]
This has been worse than birthing five elephants.
[57:19]
I've never seen anything. Take this long.
[57:23]
The patients that Jodi exhibited is saint like
[57:28]
Occasionally got red in the face dealing with the staff
[57:32]
at the school. That was the problem. We
[57:34]
had the money in the bank. We had a
[57:36]
designs done. We did what would fit And if
[57:39]
you look at the diagrams, you'll see it's a
[57:41]
very tight location. Um, it's an elementary school
[57:46]
property on a
[57:48]
Deep down Crescent with
[57:50]
Just no access at all. The some
[57:56]
They're back in the dark.
[57:57]
Days allowed of secondary school to be built on an
[58:00]
elementary school site. Um, who shall remain unnamed,
[58:04]
, but did go to jail at one point
[58:07]
Um, so this has been a battle Royal and
[58:12]
it's not that we didn't want to do it.
[58:13]
It's not that we didn't do 25 drawings. It
[58:16]
was the principal kept saying. .
[58:18]
That she wanted six tracks. She wanted a dome.
[58:21]
I mean, look at the site. So
[58:23]
anyway, it is finally going through. Jody got
[58:26]
red in the face. Occasionally, I actually lost
[58:28]
my patients once or twice and blasted them. .
[58:31]
The guy who showed the most patients with Steph ship
[58:34]
Pinsky. He never lost it. He just would
[58:36]
get that smile on his face That said. .
[58:39]
I'm dealing with difficult people. I'm going to just
[58:41]
take deep breaths. Really Want to thank Flavia Ian
[58:45]
Sagna Lean. She is the president of the Student
[58:48]
council Parents there. . The student
[58:51]
Body parents.
[58:52]
She was at first under the spell of the staff
[58:57]
there. And once she figured out, um,
[59:00]
that she had a grade nine students that went through
[59:03]
four years with no track that could have had a
[59:05]
track. She came on our side hard and fast.
[59:08]
So this has been a really tough battle.
[59:11]
The separate board was a little difficult as well on
[59:14]
their half of the money. .
[59:16]
All they had to do was ask the province to
[59:19]
dip into the money that they accumulate from selling sites.
[59:21]
They didn't want to do that. I don't
[59:23]
know why. .
[59:24]
So I'm making a big deal out of this because
[59:27]
it was for five, , maybe years of fighting. .
[59:30]
And the sad part is they have fabulous kids.
[59:33]
There they come. They go to Ropa Rhapsody,
[59:37]
and they win everything all the time. They do
[59:40]
really well. Track and field. This is a
[59:42]
strength there. .
[59:43]
And they were practicing running on terrazzo floors in the
[59:46]
halls. .
[59:48]
They were practicing high jump in the parking lots on
[59:51]
pavement. .
[59:53]
And a lot of them got hurt and dropped out.
[59:55]
And there were kids that went through that system
[59:58]
that could have had a track five years ago.
[1:00:01]
So that's why I'm making a big deal out of
[1:00:03]
this. Jodi, I thank you, 100%.
[1:00:05]
You've been fantastic. I think Steph who's not here,
[1:00:09]
but we should carry him on our shoulders.
[1:00:10]
These listening probably, um and I think everybody who
[1:00:14]
had anything to do with this. This is just
[1:00:16]
a major accomplishment for Malton. .
[1:00:19]
And for the separate school and for the kids,
[1:00:22]
especially so I happily move this with great joy because
[1:00:28]
we never have to talk about it again. Thank
[1:00:31]
you. .
[1:00:33]
Thank you. Councilor Parish Councilor Birla just want to
[1:00:36]
congratulate Counselor Parish. I want to do something not
[1:00:40]
the same but similar at TL Kennedy. But I
[1:00:43]
don't know it's going to be like birthing 10 elephants
[1:00:46]
if you had five, because that's I don't know.
[1:00:48]
I don't know those size of this project.
[1:00:50]
It's pretty big, but what we're hoping to do.
[1:00:52]
There is much bigger and they never come to
[1:00:54]
pass. . But
[1:00:55]
Really well done, that you were able to do
[1:00:57]
it and we'll see how it goes and cooksville.
[1:01:00]
We'll look at all options to get revenue to thank
[1:01:06]
you. Councilor went from birthing elephants to really good
[1:01:08]
news story. So well done, counselor Paris and
[1:01:10]
I know you're happy to move this, so it's
[1:01:11]
moved by councilor Paris and it's a recorded vote. .
[1:01:20]
Thank you folks. That's unanimous as well. 10.9
[1:01:24]
expanded, , delegated authority and those council parish. .
[1:01:30]
No, I'm really pleased to see this report.
[1:01:33]
I just wanted a little clarification when it suggests that
[1:01:37]
rezoning doesn't have to come through council anymore that it
[1:01:40]
can be done through staff. Um, I assume
[1:01:42]
it applies to things like seniors, buildings, things
[1:01:45]
that are
[1:01:46]
That we as a group agree deserve him. Zito's
[1:01:50]
It wouldn't be other, obviously more political situation,
[1:01:53]
so I just want to double check that if there's
[1:01:57]
a seniors building or long term care building coming through
[1:02:01]
Obviously we'd be notified, but we wouldn't have to
[1:02:03]
go through all that rigmarole. .
[1:02:07]
Through the chair to the counselor. Yes, yes,
[1:02:10]
that's correct. So then, is it really
[1:02:12]
is changing the land use
[1:02:14]
Creating a new zone for that particular land and what
[1:02:20]
this really is doing outside of that through site plan
[1:02:24]
approval process. We have various agreements right now it's
[1:02:29]
silent to that for MZ does this would essentially just
[1:02:33]
give me the authority to do that for these M
[1:02:35]
said. . Oh, ,
[1:02:36]
Situations and and is it safe to presume that right
[1:02:40]
now it's it's long term care buildings. None of
[1:02:42]
us would have any objection to that. If there's
[1:02:45]
anything else that falls into that category would come back
[1:02:48]
to us with that. .
[1:02:50]
Through the chair to the counselor. So for the
[1:02:52]
M zero process typically what when somebody comes to us
[1:02:56]
and contemplates that we direct them to counsel and counsel
[1:03:00]
has a policy that you consider and usually involves things
[1:03:06]
like long term care, affordable housing and economic development
[1:03:10]
that you would
[1:03:11]
Generally consider and them Zito or support one. Beyond
[1:03:16]
that, If it's just housing project as an example,
[1:03:19]
it's not something counselors indicated. Support for okay.
[1:03:23]
Thank you very much, and I'm really delighted
[1:03:25]
to move this. Thank you. Great. Thank
[1:03:27]
you very much. Counselor. Paris. I don't
[1:03:28]
see anybody else on the board, so it is
[1:03:30]
moved by councilor perish and it's a recorded vote. .
[1:03:36]
Okay?
[1:03:40]
There we go. It is unanimous and we are
[1:03:43]
moving right along to matters pertaining to the region of
[1:03:47]
peel. .
[1:03:51]
Not seeing anybody. Okay? I don't know what
[1:03:55]
Crombie.
[1:03:56]
Just to let everyone know that we did do the
[1:03:59]
interviews for the overall yesterday and there will be a
[1:04:03]
recommendation coming to the to counsel out of Indian camera.
[1:04:08]
We spent a better part of the day giving
[1:04:11]
careful consideration to all the candidates, so I hope
[1:04:14]
you'll hope you'll appreciate a lot of work went into
[1:04:17]
the decision. The recommendation that's been made. Thank
[1:04:19]
you. .
[1:04:21]
Thank you, Madam Mayor Councilor
[1:04:24]
Thank you through the chair. Just wanted to comment
[1:04:27]
on our I believe our next meeting isn't for a
[1:04:30]
couple of weeks. . Um
[1:04:32]
Sorry. There's one tomorrow but in a couple of
[1:04:34]
weeks because we're skipping through March break, I know
[1:04:37]
that counselor Hornick and I are both going to have
[1:04:41]
motions to support some of our community members here at
[1:04:46]
council last week we voted in favor supporting the Coptic
[1:04:50]
Church and and some of their development charge issues.
[1:04:53]
The larger portion of that is going to be the
[1:04:55]
regional portion. And so I know that we're council
[1:04:59]
mornings can be looking for support for that. .
[1:05:01]
I have the Muslim Association of Canada School, which
[1:05:05]
is the largest Muslim school in Ontario, or possibly
[1:05:08]
in Canada, and they are looking for some support
[1:05:11]
as well. And we are going to the region
[1:05:12]
first, because it is the significantly larger piece of
[1:05:16]
the pie, um, and would appreciate council's consideration.
[1:05:20]
Mississauga counselors consideration when we go to the region
[1:05:23]
for that. .
[1:05:24]
Thank you.
[1:05:25]
Thank you for finding those. I don't see any
[1:05:29]
other counselors on the boards around a counselor, Enquiries,
[1:05:32]
counselor, But thank you very much, Mr
[1:05:36]
Chair. .
[1:05:37]
I've been contacted by a couple of residents who have,
[1:05:41]
, uh
[1:05:42]
Wildlife that have decided to inhabit. Uh
[1:05:46]
Their property. In one particular case. It's a
[1:05:49]
family of Fox's. What they've done is they have
[1:05:53]
contacted. Obviously, our animal services, folks who
[1:05:57]
I believe have said that we do not
[1:06:00]
Remove or play any role when the when the wildlife
[1:06:04]
is on private property, And that may very well
[1:06:07]
be the city policy. I guess my question through
[1:06:10]
you to commissioner right would be. Is this or
[1:06:14]
can we really look at that? I think there
[1:06:18]
might be some situations from time to time where the
[1:06:23]
onus only on the homeowner
[1:06:25]
When it might be broader in the neighborhood, depending
[1:06:28]
on the type of wildlife there is there that our
[1:06:33]
staff could actually be involved in, Um, taking
[1:06:37]
action, possibly relocation or removal, Obviously, in
[1:06:42]
a humane way, because I think we all agree
[1:06:44]
with you want it to be done. .
[1:06:46]
Humanely and not to, um, not to belittle
[1:06:52]
the private companies that do that, But I have
[1:06:55]
a little bit more faith in our staff that I
[1:06:57]
think I would in a private company doing taking the
[1:07:01]
action or doing the removal. So that's my first
[1:07:04]
inquiry. And then Mr Chair. I do have
[1:07:05]
one more quick one, but that's the first one.
[1:07:08]
. Thank you. .
[1:07:09]
Through you, Mr Chair to counselor but council,
[1:07:11]
But, yeah, you did summarize sort of the
[1:07:13]
general practice that animal service takes in terms of working
[1:07:15]
with residents around. It's more of an education and
[1:07:19]
awareness perspective in terms of they do have animals.
[1:07:22]
Let's say it's a fox den or something that's on
[1:07:24]
their private property ways to discourage that from happening and
[1:07:28]
ways to potentially get those foxes to or whatever animal
[1:07:31]
it is to move on on their own. .
[1:07:33]
Generally we don't go in and relocate animals from private
[1:07:36]
property. From that perspective, there are certain cases
[1:07:39]
where we do go in. If there's you know,
[1:07:41]
inside the building or there, they made their
[1:07:44]
way into the roof. Those types of things we
[1:07:46]
do take a different approach with that, And we
[1:07:49]
do to your comment often, Uh, you know,
[1:07:53]
help the residents utilized private relocation services in that
[1:07:58]
regard. .
[1:07:59]
But we would be happy to bring back a report.
[1:08:01]
That kind of speaks to our practice speaks to
[1:08:04]
a little bit about, you know, just firm
[1:08:05]
and awareness perspective, the provincial legislation around relocation.
[1:08:09]
There are some guidelines in place around distances that if
[1:08:13]
there is a relocation, one kilometer that the maximum
[1:08:16]
that can be relocated, , so in that situation often
[1:08:20]
Animals do find their way back. So it's good
[1:08:22]
that the resident you know, enables practices that discouraged
[1:08:26]
that type of, , you know, , um
[1:08:28]
Re homing or re accessing the property so we can
[1:08:32]
take that as direction counselor to work with their Animal
[1:08:34]
service team and come back with a better report that
[1:08:36]
outlines our current practice provincial regulations. And then if
[1:08:41]
we were to, maybe, perhaps change our practice
[1:08:43]
what That would mean from a from a resource perspective
[1:08:45]
so we can certainly take that direction. .
[1:08:49]
Okay. Thank you very much for that, and
[1:08:50]
I look forward to seeing that report back in due
[1:08:53]
course. .
[1:08:54]
The second item is everyone's favorite this time of year
[1:08:58]
because we've all got the calls and the emails.
[1:09:01]
And that, of course, is is windows and
[1:09:03]
snowplowing and other
[1:09:06]
Related issues. And I know previous councils have debated
[1:09:09]
the level of service what we can and can't do,
[1:09:12]
and I don't know whether the timing is right
[1:09:15]
for this new council to be re looking at it
[1:09:18]
again, but that last storm was particularly bad because
[1:09:22]
of the amount of ice and really solid end of
[1:09:26]
driveway. .
[1:09:27]
And sometimes sidewalks know that there is no way residents
[1:09:31]
can possibly be in a position to remove that even
[1:09:35]
talked to one person that my neighbor came over with
[1:09:37]
the snow. But the snow blower can't even deal
[1:09:40]
with that, because they're not. They're not built
[1:09:42]
to, you know, they're not Zambonis or other
[1:09:44]
ice ice oriented type machinery there, snowblowers and a
[1:09:49]
lot of people were simply not able to get out
[1:09:53]
of their driveways or walkways for many days and still
[1:09:57]
We're not going to get any thawing this week.
[1:10:00]
Either, and there are still people who have not
[1:10:02]
had been able to get their car out of the
[1:10:04]
driveway for for five days. Now, we're six
[1:10:07]
days since the storm last Friday, so I guess
[1:10:11]
through you Mr Chair to commissioner right again. I
[1:10:15]
don't know if you want to comment on that again,
[1:10:18]
, whether this is the right time to get another
[1:10:21]
Report or my colleagues here think it's appropriate for us
[1:10:26]
to re look at that issue again. I know
[1:10:29]
there's pros and cons and all this and obviously there's
[1:10:31]
cost. I actually got one email from a resident
[1:10:34]
said, , Raise my taxes. .
[1:10:36]
Just get just get this stuff off the end of
[1:10:39]
my driveway. I don't think I've ever read an
[1:10:40]
email or someone said, Raise my taxes. But
[1:10:43]
this could be an issue now that we need to
[1:10:45]
revisit in some way, shape or form because we
[1:10:47]
are getting way more comments back from our residents,
[1:10:53]
both by email and by phone, So I'll leave
[1:10:55]
that Mr. . Chair. . Thank you. .
[1:10:59]
Question. Do you want to make comment? Thank
[1:11:01]
you, Mr Charity Counselor. But so, counselor,
[1:11:04]
Um, yeah. You know what you said,
[1:11:06]
is correct. We did have a debate at
[1:11:08]
the previous council in 2020. When the current winter
[1:11:12]
maintenance contract was being decided, And at that time
[1:11:15]
we did procure a number of options to the tender.
[1:11:18]
One of those being wind rose and the price
[1:11:21]
that was presented to council was about $10.4 million annually.
[1:11:24]
For the cost of wind rose and so council decided
[1:11:28]
to omit that service level from the winter maintenance contract.
[1:11:32]
Um and but there was a request for us
[1:11:34]
to go back and re tender that again and come
[1:11:37]
back to this council with an update. So we
[1:11:39]
are in the process of doing that We are in
[1:11:42]
market right now for that additional service level. .
[1:11:46]
Um, and will likely be in a position to
[1:11:49]
take that back through a budget committee in the not
[1:11:52]
too distant future about the cost for that for that
[1:11:55]
price, So I would expect that $10.4 million because
[1:11:59]
it's not part of a winter maintenance contract to be
[1:12:02]
a lot higher than than what it was bid at
[1:12:05]
previously. I think the current estimate from staff was
[1:12:08]
around $15 million, but I wouldn't be surprised if
[1:12:11]
that cost came back a little bit higher, So
[1:12:12]
I just wanted to provide that context, but we
[1:12:15]
will be bringing back
[1:12:16]
A report as requested, outlining the cost of that
[1:12:20]
service level, and we can and council can have
[1:12:22]
that discussion again. .
[1:12:23]
In the not too distant future.
[1:12:26]
Thank you, Jeff.
[1:12:29]
Councilor Kovac. Thank you. And through you,
[1:12:33]
Mr Chair. I have a question about street sweeping.
[1:12:36]
It's quite general. Which is why I didn't
[1:12:38]
ask to have item 10.2 earlier held and for commissioner
[1:12:44]
right? ?
[1:12:45]
When we are sweeping
[1:12:48]
And we have a bicycle lanes and they're separated either
[1:12:51]
by Bullard's or whatever they might be separated by what
[1:12:54]
are we using to ensure that those
[1:12:57]
Lanes, get the sweeping as well.
[1:13:00]
And when there are not
[1:13:03]
Presumably or not, even presumably, there is debris
[1:13:06]
that will build up. How frequently are we checking
[1:13:09]
catch basins on arterial roads? ?
[1:13:12]
Would be kind of the second part to the question.
[1:13:17]
Three. Mr Charity counselor Kovac. So it's Scott
[1:13:20]
home is in the audience, so I'm going to
[1:13:21]
ask him to come down to give more. .
[1:13:24]
More detailed response and I could provide on your specific
[1:13:28]
questions. .
[1:13:28]
Thank you.
[1:13:30]
Thank you, Jeff. Through you, Mr Chair
[1:13:32]
to Councilor Kovac. We do have some other specialized
[1:13:35]
equipment that can win. Whether we put it on
[1:13:38]
a track this machine the machines that clear some of
[1:13:40]
our sidewalks. We can put a broom on there
[1:13:42]
to be able to clear them. We've been working
[1:13:44]
with our active transportation team to make sure that when
[1:13:47]
they are putting these sorts of
[1:13:49]
Um
[1:13:50]
Separated bike lanes that we've got the proper equipment available
[1:13:54]
to be able to maintain them through the summer as
[1:13:56]
well as the winter to be able to do that,
[1:13:58]
, so
[1:13:59]
We should be fine to be able to go through
[1:14:01]
the areas that have been designated as a separated bike
[1:14:04]
lanes to make sure that they're clear when the program
[1:14:06]
kicks off. .
[1:14:07]
Okay? And as usual, if there's ever a
[1:14:10]
situation where there are blockages and residents are concerned,
[1:14:14]
and the expressed that I'm sure you won't mind as
[1:14:17]
you've, you've always told us reach out to you
[1:14:20]
Let you know And you'll make sure that that gets
[1:14:23]
remedied so absolutely yes. .
[1:14:27]
Thank you, Councilor. Thank you, Scott.
[1:14:29]
And thank you to the team for all your hard
[1:14:31]
work over the last little while appreciated America, Crombie.
[1:14:34]
So two things. First off Thank you, Councilor.
[1:14:38]
But on the windrow issue, I have never
[1:14:41]
had more complaints. They come to me direct me
[1:14:43]
to directly. They are sending me videos of what
[1:14:46]
this wall of ice at the end of their driveway
[1:14:48]
looks like as as counselor but described as nothing that
[1:14:51]
anyone is going to shovel or a snow blower is
[1:14:53]
going to remove so other municipalities I understand are getting
[1:14:57]
this not having the same effect with their snowplowing. .
[1:15:01]
So I think it's time that we sit down and
[1:15:03]
look at them equipment again and what it would cost
[1:15:05]
and maybe it's evolved and won't cost so much And
[1:15:08]
maybe we can accommodate it. Even although I think
[1:15:10]
one of the reasons we couldn't accommodate as we can
[1:15:12]
store, it costs too much, and it wasn't
[1:15:14]
going to do the smaller roads and cold air sacs
[1:15:17]
and just the bigger boulevard. So if we could
[1:15:19]
look at it again, Jeff, I don't know
[1:15:21]
Maybe it this
[1:15:24]
This snowstorm, and the one was at last month.
[1:15:28]
No last month that one was bad, but
[1:15:30]
this one was horrible. It's just seems to be
[1:15:32]
the amount of snow and ice fell in such a
[1:15:35]
contracted period of time, and it was very heavy.
[1:15:38]
And then the rain started and it became ice
[1:15:41]
and then it froze. And it's just a nightmare.
[1:15:44]
It's worse than I've ever heard it in my
[1:15:45]
11 years here, and it's always been a problem.
[1:15:48]
But I can't. I don't even like to open
[1:15:51]
my inbox Right now. I honest to God.
[1:15:53]
I have forwarded a few of them to you.
[1:15:55]
But maybe it's something you can bring back and we
[1:15:58]
can have that discussion again about what the cost would
[1:16:01]
be and whether the equipment is evolved and we could
[1:16:03]
have accommodated etcetera if you want to make any comments.
[1:16:06]
Three Mr Chair to Tamir Crombie. Yes, Mayor
[1:16:09]
Crombie. So we are at market right now,
[1:16:11]
with a going to tender for a cost for wind
[1:16:15]
rose and we'll bring back a report. I believe
[1:16:18]
we're going to target Budget Committee because it would have
[1:16:21]
a budget impact and will outline the results of that
[1:16:23]
procurement in terms of what it means to provide Windrow
[1:16:27]
removal service. .
[1:16:28]
And answer all the questions that you've just flagged in
[1:16:30]
terms of equipment where it can be done. What
[1:16:33]
type of driveways can be done? What the cost
[1:16:35]
is and when it could be added to the contract,
[1:16:38]
which would likely be is so if council were
[1:16:41]
to decide Yes, , let's say later this year. .
[1:16:44]
You need time for the contractors to acquire the equipment.
[1:16:46]
So would likely be the fall of 2024 that
[1:16:50]
started that winter season where that service level could be
[1:16:52]
provided. But we will get into all that information
[1:16:56]
to go through all these complaints again next year season
[1:16:58]
because of the need for the contractors to it's been
[1:17:03]
a relatively warm
[1:17:06]
Winter, other than a couple of big, really
[1:17:08]
big dumps that we've had. So we were fortunate
[1:17:11]
up to a few weeks ago with the amount of
[1:17:13]
snow that we received this year. It was looking
[1:17:15]
like it was going to be a pretty mild winter.
[1:17:16]
From that perspective, and in the winter maintenance
[1:17:19]
teams. Well, very busy, certainly didn't have
[1:17:22]
to deal with the amount of snow that we typically
[1:17:24]
get. But that changed and as you flagged the
[1:17:26]
type of snowstorm that we got last week, the
[1:17:30]
temperature that there's no arrived in
[1:17:31]
Allowed for a very high accumulation quickly. But then,
[1:17:35]
as you've referenced with the temperature change to reign,
[1:17:37]
it became very heavy and quickly turned to ice.
[1:17:40]
So yeah, I can. I can I
[1:17:42]
can relate to the amount of windows that we received,
[1:17:45]
but also the impact that had on residents and
[1:17:49]
on their access to and from their driveways. Thank
[1:17:52]
you. So you know other municipalities are getting this
[1:17:55]
done and we're aware of it. .
[1:17:56]
People have moved in from other municipalities and said that
[1:17:59]
it was cleared previously. Why can't we do it?
[1:18:01]
And I wrote back to one of the residents
[1:18:03]
and said what it would be 1 to 1.5% on
[1:18:06]
your tax bill, and they wrote back that they
[1:18:08]
thought it might be worth it. So it's something
[1:18:10]
to look at. Because it was $10 million for
[1:18:13]
the newer counselors when we looked at it before,
[1:18:17]
you know, so something to look at is a
[1:18:19]
big cost. .
[1:18:20]
The other one is something that's been kind of brewing
[1:18:23]
in my in my head since the passing of our
[1:18:25]
former beloved mayor Hazel in just another way that we
[1:18:29]
can recognize her. Obviously, we have named the
[1:18:31]
library Central Library for her. But you know,
[1:18:34]
I've often wondered about how citizen of the years operated
[1:18:38]
out of the real estate board and her story Mississauga
[1:18:42]
News and volunteer of the year. .
[1:18:45]
Volunteer volunteer of the year. Out of the,
[1:18:47]
uh they're out of the Mississauga news, vice versa
[1:18:49]
and the real estate boards. We don't have any
[1:18:52]
word honoring residents here. So I thought, if
[1:18:55]
you could look at a hazel McCallion Spirit award,
[1:18:58]
if possible, and just think about what that would
[1:19:01]
look like, and you know, it doesn't have
[1:19:03]
to be maybe some sort of glass sculpture award. .
[1:19:06]
We have the glass studio across the street. But
[1:19:09]
what would that look like? I just asking staff
[1:19:11]
to think. Give that some thought. Maybe it's
[1:19:13]
something we could launch on Canada Day pick someone who
[1:19:17]
embodies Hazel Spirit and the hazel McCallion spirit or what
[1:19:20]
I like that idea lot and something that we can
[1:19:23]
present big on a larger stage without, you know,
[1:19:27]
Anyway, so I just
[1:19:28]
I was thinking about more recognition and tributes as the
[1:19:31]
weeks have gone by, and I thought I'd throw
[1:19:33]
that to staff to direct you to take a look
[1:19:36]
at it and bring it back Some suggestions to us
[1:19:40]
Looking at Rob for worth up there. Is he
[1:19:42]
nodding so we'll take that back and and come back
[1:19:46]
with a proposal. Thank you. Thank you.
[1:19:48]
Thank you, , Councilor Hornick. .
[1:19:52]
Well, I feel like we almost all need to
[1:19:54]
drop a loony in a swear jar for saying the
[1:19:56]
s word. Snow Snow, Right? Um,
[1:20:01]
counselor part you, Madam Mayor, You're all put
[1:20:03]
in a loony in the Yeah. I mean,
[1:20:06]
I think just kind of elaborate more on the debate.
[1:20:08]
I mean, I think we face the challenge
[1:20:10]
in the city where we have an aging population in
[1:20:13]
single detached homes, , right? ?
[1:20:15]
And it's creating a generational issue because you know,
[1:20:19]
people who were previously more able who could break down
[1:20:22]
those ice blocks are not able to as much anymore,
[1:20:25]
Right? So I think it is a challenge.
[1:20:27]
I guess my question for the commissioner nowhere out
[1:20:29]
to tender on this. .
[1:20:31]
There's sometimes when you look at it, and you're
[1:20:33]
like man, that's just the price living in Canada.
[1:20:35]
There's other times when you're like somebody who lives
[1:20:38]
on a four lane road, and they're getting two
[1:20:42]
lanes of windrow. .
[1:20:45]
Is an even steeper hill to climb. And I
[1:20:47]
wonder, Is there any differentiation that we can make
[1:20:50]
in the contract? ? Because
[1:20:52]
Look when drones stink, no matter where you are,
[1:20:54]
but there's also some where you look at and
[1:20:55]
you're like you're not just clearing a one lane of
[1:20:57]
traffic going out two lanes of traffic. That's an
[1:21:00]
even higher bar to have to do. Is there
[1:21:03]
any differentiation we can make about that? ? Scott? ?
[1:21:06]
While Scott's waiting to come down. I will say
[1:21:08]
I did take the time where I got a small
[1:21:10]
number of compliments on our snow clearing
[1:21:13]
It was small. I know it's rare, but
[1:21:15]
some very kind. People did compliment us and I
[1:21:18]
do make sure I pass those on to Scott and
[1:21:19]
his team. Because I know the differentiation of people
[1:21:22]
who send a compliment versus a complaint is is not
[1:21:25]
always the best. Scott, do you have a
[1:21:27]
thought? ?
[1:21:27]
Yes, through you, Mr Chair that counselor Hornak.
[1:21:29]
. Thank you for that. .
[1:21:31]
We didn't separate in the in the tender the procurement
[1:21:34]
that's out now the differentiating between
[1:21:37]
You know, two or three lane road that might
[1:21:39]
have some residential streets and just the regular residential.
[1:21:42]
It was more
[1:21:43]
Just how many dwellings do we actually have?
[1:21:45]
Um, And it's very difficult to do townhouse dwellings
[1:21:49]
because you've got nowhere to put the snow even if
[1:21:51]
we went out with the machines, , so
[1:21:53]
We will detail all that information for you something that
[1:21:57]
we can look at. But I haven't really had
[1:21:58]
a lot of complaints from like the people on Katara,
[1:22:01]
for instance, that we actually clear it's been
[1:22:05]
the people just on the residential streets that have been
[1:22:09]
the boisterous ones for this for this episode, so
[1:22:12]
we'll put it that way. But something we can
[1:22:14]
look at
[1:22:15]
Okay, I guess I had two other quick points.
[1:22:17]
One is also the other place where I had
[1:22:19]
sympathy as people in the bends of a road right?
[1:22:21]
And I know that it's a challenge, sometimes
[1:22:24]
to kind of
[1:22:25]
Get deeper into the curve of a street, depending
[1:22:27]
on how it's constructed. But again, you know,
[1:22:29]
when you're leaving several feet of snow, it
[1:22:33]
is that much harder on people and again. Sometimes
[1:22:35]
you have to say we are in Canada. But
[1:22:38]
there's sometimes you look at something on a video and
[1:22:40]
you're like, , Oh, , boy, , I
[1:22:42]
Yeah. Is there anything we can do a little
[1:22:44]
bit in our current on that Just getting into those
[1:22:47]
bends a little bit better through the chair to Councilor
[1:22:49]
Hornak. We do instruct the plows to try to
[1:22:52]
get as close to the curb as they can on
[1:22:53]
those. We call them the deep elbows where you've
[1:22:55]
got those wide turns that you have to do.
[1:22:58]
We also set up loader routes that we have loaders
[1:23:01]
go in afterwards and then clear those areas. .
[1:23:03]
So if you have any of your residents that maybe
[1:23:06]
we missed it that it's not on the map.
[1:23:08]
Let us know and we can make sure that we
[1:23:10]
get that added, , because we do have
[1:23:13]
About a dozen to 15 loaders in each one of
[1:23:16]
the yards that we have that are specifically to do
[1:23:18]
the deep elbows as well as clean up the courts.
[1:23:21]
Because, you know, we use the loaders
[1:23:22]
to clean up the courts and pal everything into the
[1:23:23]
middle. So if you do get those requests,
[1:23:26]
send them over to me, and I'll make sure
[1:23:28]
that we get them onto the roots. Perfect.
[1:23:30]
Thank you. . I guess last question I have was
[1:23:34]
Maybe this is more to Jeff and parking enforcement.
[1:23:37]
So in a couple of cases, one particular case,
[1:23:39]
, a resident saw that snow was coming. .
[1:23:42]
The streets were littered with cars. And so when
[1:23:45]
subsequently the plow comes around. It just can't get
[1:23:48]
down the road. Um, is there anything we
[1:23:51]
can be doing on the parking enforcement too? Because
[1:23:53]
you know, when we have a snow date,
[1:23:54]
we shouldn't be out there parking our cars, and
[1:23:56]
I know we make the announcements. But is there
[1:23:58]
anything especially with our possibly amped up by law that
[1:24:02]
will be able to do on that side of things?
[1:24:06]
Sure, sure. I'll tell field that one that
[1:24:07]
when the commissioner passes you the torch you take it.
[1:24:10]
So we work with our parking enforcement team to
[1:24:15]
try to help prevent that. We do have the
[1:24:18]
no parking 2 to 6 A.m.. When we are
[1:24:20]
in the winter event, we suspend the temporary parking
[1:24:23]
permits to try to help. We do have a
[1:24:25]
bit of a pilot going on in war 10 with
[1:24:28]
The one street parking only that has been working and
[1:24:33]
maybe not always working. . It's very difficult. .
[1:24:36]
If you don't have kind of a broad, no
[1:24:38]
parking through the winter for our vehicles to do any
[1:24:42]
kind of activity, , and it's not just
[1:24:44]
In any particular area. It's a citywide thing,
[1:24:47]
so we do try to work with our parking enforcement
[1:24:49]
teams. There's communications that our team has, as
[1:24:52]
we know we're getting into the residential areas are crews
[1:24:55]
and inspectors will actually go and and look into the
[1:24:58]
streets that we're getting ready to go into. .
[1:25:00]
And if we see some issues, try to let
[1:25:02]
them know, but they're not resource to be able
[1:25:05]
to do this as big as what we need to
[1:25:07]
across the city as well. But we do partner
[1:25:10]
with him as best we can to try to minimize
[1:25:13]
it because it adds extra expense and time for us.
[1:25:16]
If we have to go back because of parked cars
[1:25:19]
afterwards, people think if they park their car,
[1:25:21]
they're all we're not going to get the windrow.
[1:25:23]
But when we come back, guess what? You
[1:25:25]
know, we put the snow back in the in
[1:25:27]
the driveway. So or the neighbor next to them
[1:25:30]
ends up getting it And then we get the call,
[1:25:31]
because they they don't. They don't like having
[1:25:34]
that in their driveway because their neighbor park the car
[1:25:37]
in the street, , so
[1:25:38]
It's a challenge for us when we try to work
[1:25:40]
with our parking enforcement, friends as best we can,
[1:25:43]
and I know in from what I heard just
[1:25:45]
in Toronto. You know, In some cases,
[1:25:47]
they'll tell the car, especially, I think if
[1:25:50]
the plows completely blocked from getting onto a street,
[1:25:52]
maybe that is a right. We have to go
[1:25:53]
and what they do is they stick a big orange
[1:25:55]
flag on it. .
[1:25:56]
Like along with the parking ticket, and it's like
[1:25:58]
you better come get your car right now, um,
[1:26:01]
Otherwise it's getting hold. Is that anything we
[1:26:03]
could do if I mean look, I know you've
[1:26:06]
got a big city, but there's got to be
[1:26:08]
some times where, like you can't get the plow
[1:26:10]
down the road, and that's inconsistent, inconveniencing a
[1:26:13]
higher number of people, , right? ?
[1:26:15]
Three. Mr Charity counselor Hornick. So, yes,
[1:26:18]
certain as an example. Toronto does that a
[1:26:20]
lot more because of things like street cars as well.
[1:26:22]
So, Yeah, I was driving on Dundas
[1:26:24]
Street in Toronto on Saturday. And there was a
[1:26:27]
car parked blocking a street car, which is quite
[1:26:30]
and there was a tow truck on its way so
[1:26:32]
you can see the operation in process And so we
[1:26:35]
have done that in the past where we do tow
[1:26:36]
vehicles where it's not a level of service that we
[1:26:39]
provide across the city. It is, you know,
[1:26:41]
we have that available that sort of you know,
[1:26:43]
, and and an emergency type basis last
[1:26:45]
But it's not sort of a level of service that's
[1:26:47]
offered during winter events just from a resource perspective in
[1:26:49]
terms of management, managing that, that type of
[1:26:51]
demand. . Thank you so much. .
[1:26:53]
Thank you very much. Scott. I know it's
[1:26:54]
a hard winter. If I my colleagues, colleagues
[1:26:57]
indulge me one more minute. I have one last
[1:26:59]
question. This one is actually more to Jodi.
[1:27:01]
So this is about parks. And we have some
[1:27:04]
parks that are seasonal parks. . Um
[1:27:08]
Stay support, usually sports fields they get barred in
[1:27:11]
the winter. I have got a couple of examples
[1:27:14]
where people are saying during the summer months, there
[1:27:17]
are a few cars coming in, and the parking
[1:27:19]
lots are unlit. That's our current standard is to
[1:27:21]
not have them live. But cars are coming in
[1:27:24]
late at night, and things are being exchanged through
[1:27:26]
windows. I don't know, maybe trading hockey cards.
[1:27:29]
But I don't suspect that's the case. Um,
[1:27:33]
I guess is that something? We've had a report
[1:27:35]
on lately that we could look at the service level
[1:27:37]
of that Because I think in particular when we have
[1:27:40]
people, calling us out for activities that are repeat,
[1:27:43]
and I understand Yes, we can call peel
[1:27:45]
police. But peel police will deem that a very
[1:27:48]
low priority of response because it's not an actionable. .
[1:27:51]
Um, high risk situation is that something we could
[1:27:53]
look at or have we looked at recently? ?
[1:27:56]
Thank you through you. Chair. Maloney to Councilor
[1:28:00]
Hornick haven't specifically looked at parking lots. We do
[1:28:03]
have parking lots that are either maintained or not maintained
[1:28:06]
in the winter. The ones that aren't maintained in
[1:28:08]
the winter are generally gated where we have the P
[1:28:12]
gates and we close them off. But there are
[1:28:14]
some still that aren't maintained that don't have P.
[1:28:18]
Gates. .
[1:28:19]
And it really depends on whether we have access.
[1:28:23]
Um In some cases, we have parking agreements with
[1:28:26]
schools where we maintain certain parking lots, even though
[1:28:29]
it may not seem like the park is used,
[1:28:31]
But we have an access agreement with the school to
[1:28:34]
keep a parking lot open. So it's It's not
[1:28:37]
an easy yes or no answer, and I can't
[1:28:40]
say that since Covid. We went back and we
[1:28:43]
really looked at what facilities were open in the winter
[1:28:47]
time and so we opened. .
[1:28:48]
Tennis courts, and we opened some of our artificial
[1:28:51]
fields, and it sort of became a new level
[1:28:54]
of service. Once once covid restrictions were in place,
[1:28:58]
we didn't go back and close those all up
[1:29:00]
because the members of the community really liked access to
[1:29:04]
the parks more in for winter use, so I'd
[1:29:07]
have to look at the specific
[1:29:09]
Locations. But if it isn't a parking lot that
[1:29:12]
we can close down because we have another agreement,
[1:29:15]
we do work with peel regional police as well.
[1:29:19]
Or if it's a parking lot where we really just
[1:29:21]
need to look at getting some P gates in there
[1:29:23]
and closing it during off season. We can do
[1:29:26]
that as well. In particular lighting, I guess
[1:29:28]
is the challenge that the neighbors really would like to
[1:29:31]
see some lighting in the park because I know that's
[1:29:32]
not our standard on that kind of park, right?
[1:29:34]
I will. I will say lighting in the
[1:29:36]
park is a little bit like our speed hump issue
[1:29:39]
that
[1:29:39]
Everybody wants lighting in the park until the park is
[1:29:43]
Lit up and then they don't want lighting in the
[1:29:45]
park. So we have a standard on where we
[1:29:48]
light pathways and where we light parking lots and where
[1:29:51]
we don't and it and it is very site specific
[1:29:55]
because you know part of the sub tested. .
[1:29:58]
Kind of philosophy is if you light it, you're
[1:30:01]
encouraging people to use that area. Um and is
[1:30:06]
and is it really meant for
[1:30:08]
Use.
[1:30:09]
All night long, So we have to
[1:30:11]
Take a look at that. I'm sorry. I
[1:30:12]
can't give you a really simple, easy answer to
[1:30:15]
thank you so much to work with your office and
[1:30:17]
thank you to my colleagues for giving me a little
[1:30:19]
extra time. . They appreciate it. .
[1:30:20]
Unintended consequences. Counselor Birla
[1:30:25]
Thank you. I just had a interesting well,
[1:30:28]
several similar conversations. I just wanted to ask if
[1:30:32]
we have a policy citywide. So my residents are
[1:30:35]
telling me that given what's going on along here,
[1:30:38]
Ontario, the traffic through side streets and neighborhoods,
[1:30:42]
streets has increased significantly, , which I can understand. .
[1:30:46]
But then they also said that Toronto has in place
[1:30:50]
and I was surprised to hear this where they stop.
[1:30:53]
People who don't live in the neighborhood from going
[1:30:57]
in. And I don't know how you do that,
[1:30:58]
, like you sit there with
[1:31:00]
Ensure your idea. Do you live here? I
[1:31:02]
mean, I don't know how you would do that.
[1:31:03]
But I was also wondering. I mean,
[1:31:05]
these are all taxpayer paid roads. So how do
[1:31:08]
you stop someone from going in to use it as
[1:31:11]
a through cut
[1:31:12]
Some sensitive to you know the increased volume going through
[1:31:15]
certain neighborhoods, but also it's kind of curious.
[1:31:17]
Is this true that Toronto's doing this because they are
[1:31:20]
asking me now to look at ways to stop through
[1:31:23]
traffic going through? ?
[1:31:26]
Their neighborhoods.
[1:31:28]
Mr Charity counselor, Maryland. So you're like.
[1:31:31]
These are public roads, so technically, you can't
[1:31:33]
shut them down and provide access to only to residents.
[1:31:37]
Only you can put up signage and say local
[1:31:39]
traffic only as an example. But that's really not
[1:31:42]
really that enforceable because these are public roads and people
[1:31:45]
need to get around. And I would suggest that
[1:31:47]
you know. Yes. Yes, The Ontario construction
[1:31:51]
is
[1:31:52]
Impactful, and it is creating a lot of challenges
[1:31:55]
for residents that are along the corridor. And this
[1:31:57]
morning I was sitting at a table with someone who
[1:31:59]
is living off of your Ontario. We're having this
[1:32:01]
exact conversation. And so the fortunate part of it
[1:32:04]
is that it's temporary. But you know, as
[1:32:06]
we lived through that it's it's a concern. So
[1:32:08]
I don't want to dismiss Mishka diminish the concerns that
[1:32:11]
are being addressed. So if there are certain streets,
[1:32:13]
we can certainly have a look at a more
[1:32:15]
detailed review of
[1:32:16]
It. Does this road provide access to a different
[1:32:19]
corridor, and sometimes you know, you kind of
[1:32:21]
want traffic to disperse a little bit. Otherwise,
[1:32:23]
it's going to be significant congestion in certain areas so
[1:32:27]
but if it's if it's a court or local street,
[1:32:29]
maybe there is something we can do. So
[1:32:31]
I'd be happy to work with your office counselor on
[1:32:33]
any specific locations you have, and between metro links
[1:32:36]
and the city's LRT office. We can have a
[1:32:38]
look at our their mitigation measures that we can put
[1:32:40]
in place. .
[1:32:41]
Perhaps we could put up some additional signage. That's
[1:32:43]
a you know local traffic only, but to the
[1:32:45]
point earlier. You can't really, you know,
[1:32:47]
prevent people from utilizing that street. Thank you.
[1:32:51]
Thank you. . Councilor Parish. .
[1:32:54]
Yes, Um, on the wind, Rose.
[1:32:56]
We all want to go to heaven and no one
[1:32:58]
wants to die. As soon as you get into
[1:33:01]
the budget discussions, everybody pulls back from this and
[1:33:05]
I'm going to remind everybody about today's conversation. Because
[1:33:09]
we've got an aging population in Mississauga. We've got
[1:33:12]
a lot of seniors who were made housebound by wind
[1:33:15]
rose. .
[1:33:16]
Can't get out. Their kids live in Vancouver,
[1:33:19]
and they just they're stuck there until it melts.
[1:33:22]
And I was watching the snow blowers on my street.
[1:33:25]
And what was coming out of the end of
[1:33:26]
it wasn't snow. . It was water. .
[1:33:28]
Because it was so wet underneath, So I'm just
[1:33:31]
going to remind everybody because when we do budget,
[1:33:34]
the weather is usually better, and we don't have
[1:33:36]
complaints from people who are getting stuck. And then
[1:33:40]
we hear the amount it's going to cost and we
[1:33:42]
all go. Oh, my God, we'd love
[1:33:44]
to do this, but we can't afford it.
[1:33:45]
So front row remember today. .
[1:33:49]
Marked down the date we've been talking about. This
[1:33:52]
is 2006 when I was in council the first time
[1:33:55]
and it's never been affordable and you go through the
[1:33:59]
reports that we get are very extensive and very detailed
[1:34:02]
and take a lot of staff time and we all
[1:34:04]
go. We'd love to do it, but we
[1:34:06]
just can't afford it. So that's my little spiel
[1:34:08]
on that. And Brad, I agree with you
[1:34:11]
on wildlife. . Um
[1:34:13]
My office called. I have two foxes in my
[1:34:16]
backyard. .
[1:34:17]
They live under my wooden deck, and one of
[1:34:20]
them has mange so badly there is nothing left on
[1:34:23]
the tail No for and it shakes when it comes
[1:34:26]
out, Of course, my stupid Bulldogs chase it,
[1:34:28]
So they whip under that gazebo, and we
[1:34:31]
called because the one Fox is very sick, and
[1:34:34]
it's kind of sad for the kids in the neighborhood.
[1:34:36]
And didn't get much of a response. So I
[1:34:39]
think we have to start looking at the fact particularly
[1:34:43]
when you live close to ravines. You live close
[1:34:45]
to parks with some wild area in it. I
[1:34:49]
have coyotes. They don't come in my backyard.
[1:34:51]
They're afraid of my Bulldogs. I think, but
[1:34:54]
the foxes I have two of them. I have
[1:34:56]
a raccoon who's lived here in my backyard for three
[1:34:58]
years. .
[1:34:59]
And I now have a possum who looks adorable until
[1:35:01]
he opens his mouth. .
[1:35:03]
And you look at those teeth and it's like old
[1:35:05]
my God. Anyway, I think I'd like to
[1:35:08]
see that report that counselor but has asked for and
[1:35:11]
I might say in a city built along ravines in
[1:35:15]
the credit River, , we might have to look at
[1:35:17]
Doing something with wildlife just to be humane. Was
[1:35:21]
it Gandhi that said, the way you treat your
[1:35:24]
animals is the way you treat your people, and
[1:35:26]
I think we have to pay attention to this.
[1:35:28]
So I'm just supporting you, Brad. I think
[1:35:30]
it's a something we should be looking at. Thank
[1:35:32]
you. .
[1:35:35]
I think Brad appreciates that counselor.
[1:35:39]
Thank you through the chair. Um, first question,
[1:35:43]
um either city manager or corporate services in and
[1:35:46]
around support for our residents. Associations have had this
[1:35:50]
request from a number of our repair associations of which
[1:35:53]
everybody knows. I have many 14 very engaged associations
[1:35:58]
across war, too, And I believe counselor.
[1:36:01]
Tesco also has about a dozen
[1:36:03]
So, you know, certainly the South is very
[1:36:06]
engaged, and we love that they are asking for
[1:36:11]
some support, either to the community benefits program.
[1:36:13]
If you're registered group or something that could be offered
[1:36:17]
to residents associations specifically around insurance for boards. It
[1:36:22]
is one of their, um large expenses that they
[1:36:25]
do to be ensured. .
[1:36:27]
As and this could be community services. Apologies that
[1:36:31]
they would like the city to look into. And
[1:36:34]
I'd be interested in seeing if we could support our
[1:36:36]
residents Associations with board insurance. .
[1:36:40]
Thank you. Through you, Mr Chair. We
[1:36:42]
do have an insurance program as part of being a
[1:36:46]
registered group. I think what you're seeing is boards
[1:36:50]
who are wanting to get additional insurance. Um,
[1:36:54]
just because of some, you know, bad behavior
[1:36:57]
is going on in other areas, not in their
[1:37:00]
own board. . But
[1:37:01]
You know, a number of boards have been a
[1:37:03]
little bit more cognizant and wanting to increase insurance.
[1:37:06]
So we have you know our insurance provider and they
[1:37:08]
pay the premium through the city. So if there's
[1:37:12]
an additional amount that we can take a look at
[1:37:16]
that would be a premium that you know, and
[1:37:18]
they just pay. They just pay that. But
[1:37:19]
then they get all the benefits of you know certain
[1:37:22]
things for it, but it was a lot more
[1:37:23]
reasonable than individually having to go out. .
[1:37:26]
And secure that insurance for themselves like to see if
[1:37:29]
it would be affordable or not for the city to
[1:37:32]
potentially pay for that insurance as well for if they
[1:37:35]
had a certain amount of requirements that we want to.
[1:37:38]
I just want to look into it a bit
[1:37:39]
more would be appreciated. My second question is in
[1:37:43]
around this report that, um, unfortunately, came
[1:37:47]
out yesterday from the B C. Human Rights Commission.
[1:37:50]
On hate and discrimination in Canada and BC specifically But
[1:37:56]
this has been a theme since Covid started, um
[1:38:01]
483% 82% increase in anti Asian racism was reported yesterday.
[1:38:09]
400. That's five times.
[1:38:11]
That's unbelievable.
[1:38:13]
There was 115 increase in, uh, in black
[1:38:17]
racism as well. .
[1:38:19]
And that's very, very disturbing, and I was
[1:38:21]
going to say that in sort of announcements and that
[1:38:24]
we need to reaffirm our support for these communities.
[1:38:27]
But also I think we have an opportunity with the
[1:38:30]
amazing celebrations that our communications team has put on,
[1:38:34]
Um for black History month. The event this morning
[1:38:38]
for international women's Day was fantastic. .
[1:38:41]
And I think the city has a role to play
[1:38:44]
in promoting our diverse Ah, populations in the city
[1:38:48]
and over. I think 56% from the last census
[1:38:51]
showed that Mississauga residents are Asian or South Asian descent.
[1:38:56]
So I'd like to quickly ask Rob. I
[1:38:58]
know it wasn't part of the original celebrations schedule for
[1:39:03]
the city of Mississauga for this year, but is
[1:39:06]
there you know? Could we get a number or
[1:39:09]
an idea if
[1:39:10]
If we wanted to do something similar
[1:39:12]
Because it's been they've been such phenomenal events and sort
[1:39:15]
of your victim of your own success here Rob for
[1:39:18]
for doing such a good job for the city for
[1:39:20]
promoting these different landmark events that we have throughout the
[1:39:25]
year looking into what we could potentially do this year,
[1:39:28]
even if it's small to start off for for
[1:39:31]
Asian Heritage Month and South Asian Heritage Month, which
[1:39:34]
happens to be in May. .
[1:39:37]
Ah, through you, Mr. Chair to Councilor
[1:39:39]
Ted Hose. . Um
[1:39:40]
It's a bit of a tough one to answer in
[1:39:42]
terms of what we could do because we could do
[1:39:44]
a lot. We brought a report last year in
[1:39:47]
May two council recommending that we add to the traditional
[1:39:51]
events list International Women's Day National Day for truth and
[1:39:55]
Reconciliation, Black History month as well as pride and
[1:39:59]
that would join Remembrance Day it would join New Year's
[1:40:02]
Eve Levy, the mayor's levy Canada Day and a
[1:40:06]
couple of other events that we would do as events
[1:40:08]
that the city would do every year. .
[1:40:10]
At the same time, the city has a number
[1:40:12]
of other ways to recognize events of significance. Months
[1:40:16]
of significance. And so you'll see programming across the
[1:40:19]
community in terms of libraries does quite a bit of
[1:40:22]
that culture does quite a bit of that as well.
[1:40:25]
And so the report last year really spoke to
[1:40:28]
how do we better coordinate that across the city so
[1:40:30]
that we aren't
[1:40:32]
Missing anything that's of importance, but that we also
[1:40:34]
have some criteria around. You know what we're celebrating.
[1:40:37]
And so that report was approved, and we've
[1:40:39]
been implementing that and that the Black History month event
[1:40:42]
that took place this year was the first one that
[1:40:44]
the city itself has coordinated. The mayor's office in
[1:40:47]
the past has done them, and I think the
[1:40:49]
last couple of years they were virtual. So this
[1:40:50]
was the first in person, , one. .
[1:40:52]
Um, this morning's event. I'd like to take
[1:40:55]
credit for it. But I can't that was done
[1:40:56]
entirely by the mayor's office, so I don't want
[1:40:59]
credit where it's not due. But that was an
[1:41:01]
event that the city was hosting. We've also had
[1:41:04]
a number of internal events. Sherry, among others,
[1:41:06]
were on a panel yesterday, talking about International
[1:41:09]
Women's Day. .
[1:41:10]
So this was really our first foray without significant resources
[1:41:15]
being put behind it to do this, I would
[1:41:17]
suggest if we wanted to move forward with recognizing other
[1:41:20]
months other days that we take this back and maybe
[1:41:25]
take it to the newly established or soon to be
[1:41:27]
established anti racism, , discrimination and hatred committee
[1:41:31]
Have those conversations there and see what those recommendations would
[1:41:34]
be. I know other cities have grappled with this
[1:41:37]
and other cities have different ways of doing this,
[1:41:41]
and there is resource implications. So my concern is,
[1:41:45]
if we start down this path without a coordinated
[1:41:47]
approach that we could wind up, not really having
[1:41:50]
a criteria and sort of
[1:41:52]
Doing ad hoc events. So I'd like to go
[1:41:56]
back and have that conversation with the newly established committee
[1:41:59]
and then possibly bring back report with that said.
[1:42:03]
We do have the community recognition program, which is
[1:42:06]
open to all residents and all groups. And so
[1:42:08]
if anybody wants to raise a flag if they want
[1:42:11]
to have the clock tower lit, you know if
[1:42:13]
they want to talk to the libraries if they want
[1:42:15]
to talk to museums about some of this
[1:42:17]
I know that programming can be done. So I'm
[1:42:19]
thinking we can probably accommodate that in the short term
[1:42:22]
because may is coming up quickly. But in the
[1:42:24]
longer term, I think we'd want to have a
[1:42:26]
bigger conversation about which dates and events. Do we
[1:42:29]
recognize this corporation and what the resource implications of that
[1:42:32]
would be
[1:42:34]
Thank you, Rob and happy to do that and
[1:42:36]
move that when? When? Appropriate. Thank you.
[1:42:39]
Thank you, Councilor Fonseca.
[1:42:42]
Thank you, Hugh Chair. Um, I think
[1:42:45]
this question might be to Jody. I'm not certain,
[1:42:50]
um, in 2021 to help prevent diabetes in
[1:42:57]
the city of Mississauga City, joined the city's changing
[1:43:02]
diabetes. .
[1:43:03]
Program and also unveiled a stra and Mississauga Mississauga made
[1:43:09]
diabetes strategy. Um and I'm just wondering, uh,
[1:43:15]
I've had questions from a number of residents just
[1:43:18]
wondering if we are still on the timelines that were
[1:43:22]
presented the milestones that were presented back when we launched
[1:43:27]
the project. .
[1:43:28]
Um, with regards to am
[1:43:31]
Winter and spring public engagement happening this year in 2023.
[1:43:38]
And when will a, uh a report or,
[1:43:42]
um
[1:43:43]
Hmm. An update be brought back to council.
[1:43:50]
Thank you to you, Mr Chair. I'm happy
[1:43:53]
to provide some more information Councilor. I know a
[1:43:56]
number of things are ongoing and so specifically public engagement
[1:44:01]
in spring of two. If that was specific,
[1:44:03]
specific action item, we did a lot of work
[1:44:06]
in conjunction with the mayor's office and U T m
[1:44:09]
right. . So I think
[1:44:11]
There has been if that's the program you referring to?
[1:44:13]
There's been a lot of movement on some of
[1:44:16]
those areas. But if it's a specific action item
[1:44:19]
in the plan, , I think
[1:44:22]
That's the piece that will have to go back and
[1:44:24]
get more info and I'm happy to take it offline.
[1:44:26]
It's just a number of a number of residents
[1:44:29]
in light of different announcements that have been made you
[1:44:32]
TM was one partner as well as um, Trillium
[1:44:37]
Health partners, So I think that's where the questions
[1:44:40]
from community members have come from. So so I
[1:44:43]
don't need an answer necessarily today, but it's just
[1:44:46]
something that residents have flagged for me and also different
[1:44:50]
organizations. .
[1:44:51]
Ah as well. So thank you very much.
[1:44:55]
Um, And then just to follow up on the
[1:44:57]
don't want to belabor the winter maintenance, But I'm
[1:45:00]
I too am in support of taking another look at
[1:45:05]
it with regards to, , um not only the equipment
[1:45:09]
Um, that we we need to provide, Uh,
[1:45:14]
equitably. Uh, no matter what community in
[1:45:19]
the city, um, but also to look at
[1:45:21]
the service levels. So, um, Jeff,
[1:45:25]
you had mentioned that even if we do have a
[1:45:28]
report that comes back in
[1:45:31]
In the next couple of weeks or months that we
[1:45:34]
can look at that you're looking. You are saying
[1:45:37]
that we won't necessarily be able to deploy the equipment
[1:45:43]
if we were to make the decision to remove the
[1:45:46]
wind, rose, But could you also include in
[1:45:49]
that report? What can suggestions of what can be
[1:45:53]
done? ? Of course. .
[1:45:54]
It.
[1:45:55]
It will be at potentially at a cost. Um,
[1:45:59]
but what could be done in 2023 for this
[1:46:02]
for this winter coming forward? Um and that would
[1:46:06]
be. I had asked last week for report to
[1:46:09]
come back with regards to service levels in parks and
[1:46:13]
trails and connections to schools, but also is there
[1:46:17]
something that could be done to better align the service
[1:46:20]
levels for sidewalk clearing
[1:46:23]
Mm. Sidewalk clearing and also, um with regards
[1:46:29]
to, um how we collaborate with the region,
[1:46:33]
so I am not sure if we now clear all
[1:46:39]
regional roads. I'm under the understanding that the region
[1:46:42]
continues to clear Dixie. . I could be mistaken. .
[1:46:46]
But perhaps there are there's service level through coordination with
[1:46:51]
the region and co throwers referenced also by Scott.
[1:46:55]
Um, perhaps there's ways that we can through through
[1:46:59]
coordination. Look at the service levels with the equipment
[1:47:03]
that we do have right now. . I'm not sure
[1:47:06]
Um and, uh, also one other thing that
[1:47:14]
I did get quite a few emails, not only
[1:47:19]
this year, but last year and concerns from residents
[1:47:23]
that live along Blur Street and if we are moving
[1:47:28]
And I've had them in the past with from residents
[1:47:32]
that live up front on two or corner onto Rathburn
[1:47:37]
and pony trail, and this has been a as
[1:47:40]
a result of a vast moving forward towards planning for
[1:47:45]
integrated road projects. As you know, so if
[1:47:49]
that could be all part of the report that is
[1:47:52]
brought back obviously what the costs are. .
[1:47:55]
But what
[1:47:56]
Can potentially be done in 2023.
[1:48:02]
If we're not able to get and if we do
[1:48:04]
decide, and we're not able to get the the
[1:48:06]
windrow clearing equipment put in place for winter of 2023.
[1:48:11]
How else may we be able to support equitably?
[1:48:15]
All all road users, including pedestrians, those
[1:48:20]
with accessibility. Those are they're taking transit those that
[1:48:24]
are walking to school. .
[1:48:27]
Ah, um and so on and so forth.
[1:48:33]
Three. Mr Charity counselor Fonseca. So we've obviously
[1:48:36]
captured all your comments counselor and will will respond appropriately
[1:48:41]
in the winter maintenance report. Um, our focus
[1:48:43]
of the report was just on windows. But you've
[1:48:45]
asked us now they consider a number of other things
[1:48:47]
that we can take a look at in terms of
[1:48:49]
the regional service levels and give you the reconfirm that
[1:48:53]
breakdown between what the region of peel does. .
[1:48:55]
Versus what the city of Mississauga does from winter maintenance
[1:48:58]
perspective, and the city does perform services for the
[1:49:01]
region, and perhaps I'll seek clarification from the team
[1:49:04]
behind me on if you want that information now,
[1:49:06]
or would you want it in that report, but
[1:49:09]
maybe quickly, Helena Scott, just in terms of
[1:49:11]
the service at the region, appeal provides and and
[1:49:14]
we'll take all that information Councilor in factor that into
[1:49:17]
the report. .
[1:49:18]
I'm not sure there would be a lot of support
[1:49:20]
we could offer from a windrow perspective. You know,
[1:49:24]
in that short time frame between when council could
[1:49:27]
decide, Say it. Budget Committee you know,
[1:49:29]
in in
[1:49:30]
Let's say it's May or June. Whatever the date
[1:49:32]
works out to be, Um, and then that
[1:49:35]
winter season, you know, we do have our
[1:49:36]
windrow program Would that is a separate level of service,
[1:49:40]
And that's something that perhaps we could look at
[1:49:42]
that and see if there's an opportunity to expand that.
[1:49:45]
But that is a resource issue than maybe all
[1:49:48]
that. Scott Helen just comment on that piece,
[1:49:50]
And I'll just say that the Windrow program that we
[1:49:54]
have
[1:49:55]
Um and other counselors have referenced it for for seniors
[1:50:00]
or those with ability, ability, challenges that have
[1:50:05]
applied for that program there, Uh, the service
[1:50:09]
levels that we have currently and that we have supported
[1:50:13]
being 36 hours after the event is declared complete,
[1:50:19]
is just
[1:50:21]
I think it's just too much for for those that
[1:50:23]
have that have applied for that program. So there's
[1:50:28]
that. Potentially there's opportunity there for at least the
[1:50:31]
2023 winter season. Um and also with sidewalk clearing,
[1:50:37]
potentially if there's opportunity there and then increasing service
[1:50:41]
levels again. .
[1:50:43]
Within our trail and park system to to address requests
[1:50:48]
that have come from students, So I'm not sure
[1:50:51]
if Scott wants to comment really, really briefly or
[1:50:54]
Helen. So through chair Mahoney to Councilor Fonseca Scott
[1:50:59]
and I'll tag team. I'll do some of the
[1:51:00]
answers, and I'll pass the operational based ones more
[1:51:03]
to Scott. But Jeff mentioned earlier that we have
[1:51:06]
a procurement out right now. .
[1:51:08]
And there's actually three elements to that procurement. The
[1:51:11]
wind Roses one, but we're also looking for quotes
[1:51:15]
on sidewalk snow clearing across the city. Currently,
[1:51:18]
we only have priority routes. So we're looking for
[1:51:21]
the cost for sidewalk snow clearing citywide, So I
[1:51:24]
think that will address some of the questions that you
[1:51:27]
have raised this morning. Um and then the third
[1:51:29]
element is bicycle lane, , snow removal as well. .
[1:51:33]
And so that will be broken down in the report.
[1:51:35]
And, as Jeff has mentioned, all the
[1:51:37]
other questions that you've raised today will try to incorporate
[1:51:40]
in the report as well. But from an operations
[1:51:42]
perspective and coordination with the regional past that over to
[1:51:45]
Scott, Thank you, Helen through the charity counselor,
[1:51:47]
, Fonseca. .
[1:51:48]
At this time we do all the maintenance on Queensway
[1:51:51]
Catherine Winston Churchill That's part of the regional road. .
[1:51:54]
We are in conversation with them to pick up Dixie
[1:51:58]
below Queensway just because their resources their only yard is
[1:52:02]
copper road, which is it steals in the 4
[1:52:04]
10. .
[1:52:05]
So it becomes kind of challenging for them to get
[1:52:07]
all the way down here. This is why they
[1:52:08]
have access to do that. So we're working on
[1:52:10]
an updated agreement to include portions of Dixie. .
[1:52:13]
We work very closely. In fact, I had
[1:52:15]
a meeting with the region appealed Brampton and Kalinin counterparts.
[1:52:19]
We meet every month. People at my level
[1:52:22]
we have that discussion to talk about. .
[1:52:23]
How we're working together to make sure that we've got
[1:52:26]
those timelines in order. So we're keeping an eye
[1:52:29]
on that very closely to make sure that we're in
[1:52:31]
conversations they provide us updates similar to I do,
[1:52:34]
updates for your team and the rest of a lot
[1:52:37]
of people here at the city. They do the
[1:52:39]
same thing for us and our supervisor team, So
[1:52:41]
we know where everybody is and where we are to
[1:52:44]
make sure that we're coordinating. .
[1:52:46]
When it comes to getting equipment for the 2023 2024
[1:52:50]
season. If we get approval in June, it
[1:52:52]
will be a supply chain issue for any of those
[1:52:55]
equipments. If you've tried to even get a car
[1:52:57]
yourself, you know how long did it take?
[1:52:59]
So you can imagine this sort of specialist equipment?
[1:53:02]
That's why we're giving them that year and a half
[1:53:04]
to be able to make sure that they've got the
[1:53:06]
equipment in place before we start. .
[1:53:08]
The other piece of that If the Windrow program goes
[1:53:12]
through, we expect it's about 220 pieces of equipment
[1:53:16]
that we would need to do this program. I
[1:53:19]
don't have anywhere to put 220 pieces of equipment right
[1:53:22]
now. So we are in the works of making
[1:53:25]
sure that we've got the room. .
[1:53:27]
Same with the sidewalk to do the remainder of the
[1:53:30]
sidewalks. Um, that's about another 50 pieces of
[1:53:33]
equipment. I believe to be able to handle that.
[1:53:36]
So it becomes a capacity thing that we have
[1:53:38]
to make sure that we're ready both logistically operationally and
[1:53:42]
have staff supported to be able to, , um
[1:53:45]
I had those programs if council wishes us to add
[1:53:48]
them. .
[1:53:49]
Okay. Thank you. I appreciate that. If
[1:53:52]
there
[1:53:53]
If there's anything that could be done for the 2023
[1:53:55]
season, that would be wonderful, and I understand
[1:53:58]
the
[1:53:59]
The capacity or the the
[1:54:03]
The capacity issues and not having somewhere to store all
[1:54:06]
of the equipment in place. But thank you very
[1:54:08]
much. Thanks for everyone for clarifying. Thank thank
[1:54:11]
you, Councilor Franciscan. I assume Jeff when you
[1:54:13]
were in there, just trying to follow that.
[1:54:14]
Adding to the report a user pay type system for
[1:54:17]
wind. Rose. Is that what you were saying?
[1:54:18]
That could kind of add some information on how
[1:54:20]
that could work or
[1:54:22]
Sorry, Harry.
[1:54:23]
Remember, you know, like I think Councilor we
[1:54:27]
could look at when we present to the options will
[1:54:30]
present the cost to do the work. And then
[1:54:33]
it becomes a financial discussion in terms of is that
[1:54:35]
a tax a tax recovery? User recovery may be
[1:54:39]
even more difficult to achieve, But we can look
[1:54:41]
at different options and have that conversation that Budget Committee
[1:54:45]
appreciate that America Crumby
[1:54:47]
Thank you and I for neglected to add two things
[1:54:51]
to my inquiries, and I'll kick off announcements if
[1:54:53]
I may since I've seen to be the last person
[1:54:55]
on the board. .
[1:54:56]
Um, I should have said a big thank you
[1:54:59]
as well to the road clearing efforts that were done.
[1:55:02]
We don't have the equipment to do the windrow
[1:55:04]
so we don't so that's it to staff looking at
[1:55:07]
the committees. I met with the New Trucking Association
[1:55:10]
yesterday, and they are asking when with that might
[1:55:13]
get up and moving. If we have terms of
[1:55:15]
reference, yet we will be reporting back on that
[1:55:18]
in the next couple of weeks. .
[1:55:20]
Weeks. Okay, Very good. And then on
[1:55:23]
Friday, this is this crosses over between announcements and
[1:55:26]
inquiries. So, as you know, the peel
[1:55:29]
regional police is hosting along with the police board is
[1:55:32]
hosting a summit on car jackings and auto thefts.
[1:55:36]
And whereas I try to get everyone invited, they
[1:55:39]
kind of said they have limited space and I already
[1:55:41]
sent out the invites, but I will report back.
[1:55:44]
And the bigger issue is that they need the people
[1:55:47]
at the table. Who can make a difference like
[1:55:49]
the car manufacturers, insurers, the federal provincial government
[1:55:53]
border services, etcetera, so that's what will happen
[1:55:56]
on Friday. .
[1:55:58]
But as well, I'm wondering, looking at Rob
[1:56:00]
North up there. Look at our comms team.
[1:56:02]
If you'd be able to work with peel police to
[1:56:05]
maybe do a small education and communications campaign project on
[1:56:09]
car thefts and prevention tips on top vehicles being stolen
[1:56:14]
And what to do with your car is stolen.
[1:56:16]
Who you call obviously, , insurance and
[1:56:19]
And just to keep our residents informed and engaged.
[1:56:22]
Is that something we can look into? I did
[1:56:24]
talk about some prevention measures that
[1:56:28]
Peel regional police discussed when Councilor Mahoney and I were
[1:56:31]
at a community meeting on auto thefts and break ins,
[1:56:35]
etcetera, and they said something like a tin
[1:56:38]
box at the dollar store could go a long way
[1:56:40]
to put your keys in and little foil wrappers for
[1:56:43]
spare keys, etcetera. So I wonder if you
[1:56:45]
might think about little education campaign on what comes the
[1:56:50]
outcomes of the summit on the
[1:56:52]
Friday.
[1:56:55]
Through the chair to Mayor Crombie. We can take
[1:56:57]
a look at that. I think we should see
[1:56:58]
what the outcomes of our the of the summit are,
[1:57:01]
, Um
[1:57:02]
Certainly hot and really lean on, you know,
[1:57:04]
Peel police in terms of their information, and then
[1:57:07]
we can certainly push it out through all of our
[1:57:09]
channels. Thank you. Subject to council direction to
[1:57:12]
do something broader. You didn't see how are you
[1:57:14]
Didn't see Rob to Ortho approaching the podium. I
[1:57:17]
did, but he doesn't need to come down every
[1:57:18]
time we talk about communications, so we'll talk about
[1:57:21]
announcements now. Just a big thank you to everyone
[1:57:24]
involved this morning. . Such
[1:57:26]
To the front bench team here are champions are commissioners
[1:57:30]
who all joined us and to the councilors who were
[1:57:33]
able to make it to communications department. Corporate comms
[1:57:36]
who assisted my office. A big big Thank you
[1:57:39]
to Natasha. Mystery in my office who was a
[1:57:42]
real superstar this morning and I executed this thing flawlessly.
[1:57:46]
I know a lot of people help. But
[1:57:48]
Natasha was her brainchild. She found the guest speakers
[1:57:52]
who were so inspirational. I have to say this
[1:57:54]
is my favorite one. . We've had some great
[1:57:56]
Speakers in the past, but this was awesome.
[1:57:58]
So it just to acknowledge that the two were Lesley
[1:58:01]
Hampton and Inish Nabi, breakthrough fashion designer who joined
[1:58:05]
us and provided the keynote address. This is a
[1:58:08]
young woman that went to U T M, Our
[1:58:11]
girl who dresses, big names and every award show
[1:58:14]
in the US and the Golden Globes, etcetera.
[1:58:17]
A lot of local celebrities like the
[1:58:20]
E U E Entertainment tonight. Folks where her talk?
[1:58:25]
Yeah, I think that's the one where her
[1:58:27]
designs and so she's just so great. And Brianna
[1:58:31]
Olson Tawana Kwaht, who was a jingle Dress dancer
[1:58:35]
also performed two beautiful dances. She was and also
[1:58:39]
talked about her story. .
[1:58:42]
The theme this year was embraced Equity, which encourages
[1:58:45]
all to take action towards a more gender equitable world,
[1:58:48]
where all the differences are valued, celebrated embraced
[1:58:51]
again. We invited all high school students and we
[1:58:55]
had, you know mentors from business in the community.
[1:58:59]
The school trustees are counselors who were able to
[1:59:01]
attend. . We had
[1:59:03]
Corum there, so it was a great, well
[1:59:05]
attended event. And, um so is my hope
[1:59:09]
that this becomes an even bigger and better events.
[1:59:12]
Tonight we're going to light the clock tower Purple for
[1:59:15]
IW Do so Happy International Women's Day and be sure
[1:59:18]
to embrace equity. .
[1:59:20]
On behalf of counselor merlot, and I was happy
[1:59:23]
Holi to everyone who is celebrating the Hindu in the
[1:59:26]
Hindu community for a memorable holy. I had the
[1:59:29]
opportunity to visit the Hindu Heritage Center on Monday night,
[1:59:33]
when you guys were hard at work at planning.
[1:59:35]
I was supposed to go to run Monday here,
[1:59:36]
but I have to say, because of the
[1:59:38]
Swedish event had to attend. I ran out of
[1:59:40]
time a little bit so it couldn't make it. .
[1:59:42]
But as you know, Holy is the Hindu festival
[1:59:44]
of colors celebrated by Hindus all over the world with
[1:59:48]
great enthusiasm, spreading chalk or colored powders, spreading
[1:59:53]
messages of love, respect and faith. So extend
[1:59:55]
our message of to all those celebrating Holi. .
[2:00:00]
Saturday, March 11th is the three year anniversary of
[2:00:04]
the National Day of observance of Covid 19 hard to
[2:00:08]
believe it's been three years since the WH O declared
[2:00:11]
covid 19 a global pandemic three years. So those
[2:00:15]
birthdays and those three years, counselor read. They
[2:00:17]
don't count, right. This was a blip gone.
[2:00:20]
So Dave observance for those who lost their lives,
[2:00:23]
as well as individuals who continue to deal with the
[2:00:26]
long term effects of the virus. I know some
[2:00:29]
folks and also let's extend a big thank you to
[2:00:32]
all the frontline healthcare workers and those healthcare heroes appeal
[2:00:37]
Public Health and Trillium health partners for the incredible support
[2:00:41]
they gave Mississauga and their sacrifice throughout the pandemic. .
[2:00:45]
Friendly reminder to everyone that you get to turn your
[2:00:47]
clocks forward on Saturday night because on Sunday, we
[2:00:51]
will be springing forward for daylight savings time. And
[2:00:55]
you gain an extra hour of sunlight. Maybe.
[2:00:58]
And one less extra hour of sleep, , though. .
[2:01:02]
Also like to take a moment to acknowledge a new
[2:01:05]
phenomenon. Mississauga Grade four student Mama Thieving off who
[2:01:11]
broke several world records in her hula hooping skills,
[2:01:15]
just nine years old Mammoth except three. Guinness World
[2:01:19]
Records for Hula Hooping. Let's get her in here
[2:01:21]
so we can pay tribute to her, , please. .
[2:01:24]
Give a certificate ready for her most hoops while spinning
[2:01:28]
most hops. Most people hop off, spinning a
[2:01:31]
hula hoop on one ankle in one minute 110 times
[2:01:35]
that was one of the records. She broke most
[2:01:37]
hula hoop rotations around knees while in a dancer pose
[2:01:42]
in 30 seconds, 62 times and most hula hoop
[2:01:46]
rotations around knees on in line skates, folks and
[2:01:51]
30 seconds. . 76 times. .
[2:01:53]
Let's congratulate this little phenomenon on her achievement and look
[2:01:58]
forward to meeting her. Let's try to get her
[2:02:00]
in if we can looking up there. .
[2:02:02]
Upstairs power so few past events. We should acknowledge
[2:02:06]
I did speak. I was speaker along with Mayor
[2:02:08]
Brown and counselor Shelley Carroll on Gateway to Growth summit
[2:02:12]
at the Toronto region. Board of Trade hosted the
[2:02:14]
other day on how cities can help unlock the true
[2:02:17]
potential of the Pearson economic Zone. Thank you also

Madam era hula hoop opposite Twister. .
[2:03:21]
Cancel Hornick.
[2:03:24]
Thank you so much, Mr Chair. That would
[2:03:26]
be something to see in council chambers. I gotta
[2:03:28]
think I think Councilor read being the most fit among
[2:03:31]
us Could maybe try it out and see if he's
[2:03:33]
any competition for that, Because I know I'd fall
[2:03:35]
on my face anyways, onto announcements. Um,
[2:03:39]
you know, I want to thank the residents of
[2:03:42]
Jury Road and Caroline Road and and the adjoining roads
[2:03:45]
off that we had Monday night. What is the
[2:03:49]
start of a
[2:03:50]
Residents Association as a great turnout, you know about
[2:03:54]
50 people showed showing a lot of interest in starting
[2:03:58]
that, and this comes from a place you know,
[2:04:00]
as many residents associations have as a place of
[2:04:03]
challenge, , right? ?
[2:04:04]
The residents have been facing a number of break ins
[2:04:07]
and vehicle thefts in the area. And so they
[2:04:10]
feel very challenged in their community right now, and
[2:04:12]
they're doing the positive steps that it takes now,
[2:04:15]
to kind of address that so they've been forming a
[2:04:16]
neighborhood watch, and now we're onto the next step
[2:04:19]
of the residents Association. So it was great to
[2:04:21]
see a number of people willing to step up and
[2:04:23]
wanting to serve on that association, and I'm really
[2:04:26]
excited to work with them and bring that forward and
[2:04:28]
make sure we're putting our best foot forward for that
[2:04:31]
neighborhood. .
[2:04:32]
Both addressing the crime issues and you know the other
[2:04:34]
issues that occur in the neighborhood. .
[2:04:37]
And wanted to turn that negative into a positive,
[2:04:39]
So I just wanted to take the time to applaud
[2:04:41]
them and thank them for coming out. And,
[2:04:43]
uh And that's why I was missing from PDC because
[2:04:46]
I had my residence and I need to help him
[2:04:48]
out. .
[2:04:49]
So thanks very much. Thank you. Councilor Councilor
[2:04:52]
Federal
[2:04:54]
Thank you through the chair, Um and council horning
[2:04:57]
happy that we were able to support your rate peers
[2:05:00]
with some of our repair expertise over and war to
[2:05:04]
to to support them getting off the ground and that
[2:05:08]
that offer would appoint anyone who wants to do that.
[2:05:11]
I just wanted to wish everyone a happy march
[2:05:14]
break. Um, I think it's important that we
[2:05:17]
get the time. I know we all work incredibly
[2:05:19]
hard. .
[2:05:20]
Um and I've got kids that are just going to
[2:05:23]
continue getting older and I very much appreciate the time
[2:05:26]
to spend with them during the next March break,
[2:05:30]
and the city has a number of phenomenal events number
[2:05:32]
of them happening in war, too. If you
[2:05:34]
want to stop by our museums with maple magic.
[2:05:38]
