those carts can 74 00:06:54,319 --> 00:07:03,800 we not maintain the squash cart as well for what you have planned 75 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:11,000 through you ree heer uh to councelor MCM Bernie uh this the design and the space 76 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:17,080 available would not um allow for both to coexist because squash courts require 77 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:21,039 four walls we would have to find a way to build a retractable wall and I don't 78 00:07:19,479 --> 00:07:28,280 believe that there's the space or the budget to be able to do that at this 79 00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:33,599 time okay thank thank you go ahead uh councelor MCB Bernie yes well going 80 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:39,599 further like the usage the usage for the squash carts is actually climbing and 81 00:07:37,479 --> 00:07:44,159 you got baton and all that moving in there but then where they're playing 82 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:47,599 baton now and stuff there's going to be less use 83 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:53,960 elsewhere just seems they're moving in on the squash that's all that's just my 84 00:07:50,879 --> 00:08:00,000 feeling y thank you yep go ahead councelor Palmer please 85 00:07:56,639 --> 00:08:07,720 yeah thank you re um I I was feeling solid about this um till 86 00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:11,400 I started reading the um the letters that came in the emails that came in and 87 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:18,639 it's always good to hear what other points of view are um you know we did 88 00:08:14,919 --> 00:08:24,560 hear that um listol was was closed closing theirs so that would could add a 89 00:08:21,599 --> 00:08:30,759 number to come this way but um I guess the point that's up 90 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:37,279 bothering me is if we make these changes to 91 00:08:33,560 --> 00:08:43,680 badmington and basketball and whatever pickable um like it was 92 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:48,959 mentioned in one of the emails it's free elsewhere like three quarters of the 93 00:08:45,959 --> 00:08:54,560 year it's free elsewhere 94 00:08:50,600 --> 00:09:00,560 and I could see usage for happening in the winter and I'm a little concerned 95 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:05,160 that it will fall off uh as we as the weather gets warmer so then are we any 96 00:09:04,079 --> 00:09:11,279 further ahead um I I would love to see a grace 97 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:15,240 period and now I realize that we're we have the like the Vance fund the timing 98 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:20,959 is is becoming an issue but uh 99 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:27,959 oh a grace period would be nice then to test these emails if they're true if 100 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:34,399 it's really going to happen eh but um it sounds like we need to make an make a a 101 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:39,519 decision now so anyways those are my points hey thank you I saw Deputy ree 102 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:44,880 you had your hand up please yeah thank you ree um I know it it always happens 103 00:09:42,959 --> 00:09:50,640 this way is that you know you only get feedback when you're when you decide to 104 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:55,680 make a a a change in something I was just wonder if uh 105 00:09:52,959 --> 00:10:01,600 if Kelly if you could just give us some background on there was no uh there 106 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:09,600 there was uh less usage of the the Squash Courts uh for uh for northan to 107 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:16,040 consider changing it or making other improvements to that 108 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:22,920 space uh and now now we're just getting uh I believe there was 20 people that uh 109 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:28,200 said that they were into uh playing squash you know you know 20 people is 110 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:33,079 not going to make that that space uh you know at tall uh uh uh you know for the 111 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:38,480 usage of what what we have can you give us some background as to uh how much 112 00:10:35,079 --> 00:10:43,160 usage it was getting prior to uh this decision to make it uh make us think of 113 00:10:40,639 --> 00:10:48,680 changing it thank you through you we have her to Deputy re 114 00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:54,880 FAL um as you know um or may recall in the master plan that was produced in 115 00:10:51,600 --> 00:11:01,000 2021 it identified uh a Slowdown in usage at that point in time uh and when 116 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:06,240 um we brought when staff brought the report back to Council in August um to 117 00:11:04,279 --> 00:11:12,120 seek direction from Council about applying to the Vance fund we had seen 118 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:15,800 really low usage um with the the courts it is self-served so you can kind of get 119 00:11:13,839 --> 00:11:22,240 in there we don't know what people go in and play um ex exactly but we were 120 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:26,839 seeing um you know people wanting to access this space um during the daytime 121 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:32,639 I remember somebody wanting to come in and and uh play basketball in the 122 00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:38,600 daytime because he was working in town um that unfortunately uh to to counselor 123 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:43,680 Palmer's point it it wouldn't be able to happen um because of our reciprocal 124 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:49,079 agreement with the school board um that only allows for usage in the evenings uh 125 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:55,120 during the school year so there are some limitations on the availability of those 126 00:11:51,480 --> 00:12:02,240 other sports um in throughout the year but we came to to council with solid um 127 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:07,000 information that that the the usage um of the Courts for the game of squash had 128 00:12:04,839 --> 00:12:10,680 really declined it we I don't have numbers unfortunately and I think that 129 00:12:08,959 --> 00:12:16,959 that also is is part of the challenge we had as as council is well aware um of 130 00:12:13,079 --> 00:12:16,959 our our registration system in the last 131 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:28,000 year thank you uh councelor Ben hitson you had a point there please yes thank 132 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:32,279 you ree effer to um Miss St um this um this is only for the scope of design 133 00:12:29,560 --> 00:12:37,320 work for the courts do we really have to point out right now that we want pickle 134 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:41,560 ball basketball batminton or squash or do we have to look first uh what is 135 00:12:39,839 --> 00:12:45,839 possible because of the leak that is going on there and how much that's going 136 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:51,680 to cost to repair or is that a totally different um cost to the 137 00:12:48,959 --> 00:12:57,600 municipality whatever change we make three your worship a couple of of 138 00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:05,279 points there I um so I I'll speak to the the leak first um we are seeing as uh we 139 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:10,079 all are very well aware um a lot of snow this year and so the snow loading on the 140 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:16,320 roof it's a flat roof at the complex and so we're finding that the snow loing at 141 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:21,560 that um uh Spa is contributing to some leaks we have had um some companies come 142 00:13:19,639 --> 00:13:26,160 in and they have provided that feedback to us um and during this past year we 143 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,920 weren't able to get to some of the maintenance work that we wanted to and 144 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:33,320 so that's also contributing we do have a plan coming forward that 145 00:13:31,839 --> 00:13:38,160 will be presented to council during budget time that will um allow for us to 146 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:42,079 do a better assessment of the of the roof but a lot of it we're seeing is 147 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:46,760 because of the snow loading and that's it's not just at the 148 00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:52,720 complex um to to your other point about the scope of of funding um the the our 149 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:57,880 application to the Vance fund was very specific when we needed to be we needed 150 00:13:54,920 --> 00:14:03,120 to be extremely um specific in what we were applying for 151 00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:10,440 and I had a chance to speak with the um the the fund manager um at the Vance 152 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:15,959 fund and um should we should Council sorry excuse me should Council decide to 153 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:20,399 change the scope of the project um the the funding would have to be returned 154 00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:26,040 and there would be impacts to the township on the ability to apply for 155 00:14:22,839 --> 00:14:30,000 Grants at future time I would say that at you know when Council made this 156 00:14:27,519 --> 00:14:35,120 decision and directed staff on August 12th we came at it with you know 157 00:14:32,839 --> 00:14:40,160 information that there was very low usage so with the information that 158 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:45,880 Council had at the time uh the decision was prudent and um allowed you know 159 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,240 certainly was well thought of within the information that was available and the 160 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:55,360 usage patterns good thank you thank you 161 00:14:51,920 --> 00:15:01,800 councelor Wright please yeah thanks ree um so really just a a comment more than 162 00:14:57,519 --> 00:15:07,639 a question but um so I was actually out there with the family on the weekend um 163 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:11,800 playing squash uh so you know I I actually enjoy the game 164 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:17,040 myself um but to some of the other points that were raised uh this is a 165 00:15:14,079 --> 00:15:20,519 long-term trend of declining usage for squash right staff been looking at it 166 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:26,959 since 2021 um and you know my feeling is you 167 00:15:25,399 --> 00:15:32,759 know you just have to react to these long term Trends right we 168 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:36,480 we don't have Lawn Bowling courts around town anymore because that sport went out 169 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:41,040 of favor right so um you know I think it's unfortunate 170 00:15:39,319 --> 00:15:46,079 that we can't do everything for everyone but uh to uh director sc's Point yes 171 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:50,800 there is a lot of pickle ball in town you know me and my family play that um 172 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:54,319 but it is a lot of the usage is restricted to 173 00:15:52,199 --> 00:15:59,360 evenings uh through the week right because the facilities the schools just 174 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:04,279 aren't open uh you know a lot of weekends and a lot of weekdays so you 175 00:16:01,839 -->

membership overall membership then they're fine but for anyone else that 182 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:50,079 want to do Bonton or whatever um I guess the question is will they accept pay and 183

--> 00:21:05,320 question question on the proposed layout or 230 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:09,919 footprint um is is that does that just cover the building or um like is there 231 00:21:08,039 --> 00:21:14,840 going to be I think there's going to be an attached playground area to the 232 00:21:12,279 --> 00:21:19,080 building as well so I just wondered is this just the building or a building and 233 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:24,279 playground uh with the footprint it's going to take 234 00:21:20,360 --> 00:21:29,760 up through you Reef heer to celor right um the drawing was not uh drawn to scale 235 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,760 oh 236 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:41,440 I will continue even though my camera is not working um the drawing was not drawn 237 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:48,000 to scale and so um the estimate that um there would be 33 lost uh camping spots 238 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:52,000 was an estimate that um once we better understand the exact footprint um we 239 00:21:50,279 --> 00:21:57,159 will be able to come back to council with more uh specific information but 240 00:21:54,720 --> 00:22:02,760 you are correct this would be a building and an outdoor playground 241 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:07,679 thank you councelor Palmer please yeah thank you Reeve now should we should we 242 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:13,840 be thinking down the road is a possible use for um Library as well or are we 243 00:22:11,799 --> 00:22:18,679 give where are we in that department that I know it's not part of this motion 244 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:21,840 but when you're dealing with a building you only want to build it 245 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:29,240 once director SE would you like to add to that please through you Reef hefford 246 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:34,520 to counselor Palmer there are a few things that that I've asked the 247 00:22:31,919 --> 00:22:39,760 um that we we could include in the tender and when I initially met with um 248 00:22:36,919 --> 00:22:47,760 this business on site I had talked about um scaling up we are you know have um an 249 00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:54,159 application into the county for 26 spaces but depending on the growth of 250 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:59,080 the town of BL we may you know Council may want to consider in a future design 251 00:22:56,799 --> 00:23:05,919 phase um the growth either of the daycare or other options and so 252 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:11,320 certainly we can uh look to include that uh that that as a as a potential scope 253 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:16,640 uh not full out design but that in the design it allows for 254 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:23,159 expansion okay thank you councelor mcgurn please yes thank you Reed uh to 255 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:27,520 Kelly uh in regards to the location stuff what's it going to look like when 256 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:33,760 the thrashes kind of curious because those thrashes just just 257 00:23:30,919 --> 00:23:37,840 for so my understand through you ree hefford to counselor MC Bernie my 258 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:43,880 understanding is the um usage of the campground hasn't U achieved capacity 259 00:23:41,679 --> 00:23:51,080 during the thresher week for some time so the loss of 33 spaces potentially 260 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:55,919 would be uh minimal in comparison to the usage um but should 261 00:23:53,640 --> 00:24:00,320 Council provide direction for me to proceed with the request for proposals 262 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:05,480 uh my next stop is to meet with the the Threshers and and talk about what does 263 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:11,440 this look like um a daycare in the community as we know is uh offers a lot 264 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:16,520 and so how can we work together and in tandem to make this a 265 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:20,720 win-win okay thank you thank you uh councelor Whitfield then councelor 266 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:26,039 rright yeah I just have a couple of questions um how we're going to man this 267 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:30,600 place because we can't get enough people here in Wingham as it is the these 268 00:24:28,399 --> 00:24:34,559 people are hard to get a hold of do you have any plans on 269 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:39,799 getting being able to recruit these people and everything to run this 270 00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:46,679 place through you ree heer to to councelor Whitfield it um employment um 271 00:24:43,679 --> 00:24:52,760 we will need to hire three to four um ECE workers so so our our registered ECE 272 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:56,919 workers as well as a cook um and a supervisor for this 273 00:24:55,039 --> 00:25:00,880 location and so it certainly is something top of mind but what hearing 274 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:06,600 is that uh working for the township of North Huron uh we are a preferred 275 00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:13,240 employer and uh certainly I will be looking to um our inter manager Tiffany 276 00:25:09,559 --> 00:25:17,840 to assist with um the recruitment um but that won't we won't wait till the end 277 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:22,000 we're going to start right away um once we have uh once we're further along a 278 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:29,120 little bit more thank you councelor right 279 00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:33,440 please yeah just just a thought um it's it's kind of on top of what 280 00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:38,760 councelor MC Bernie said but um director stat when you're talking to the 281 00:25:35,159 --> 00:25:43,320 Threshers um I think care has to be or consider consideration has to be given 282 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:48,799 to how this daycare is going to function during the week of the Threshers uh 283 00:25:45,799 --> 00:25:54,000 because that's a very busy area right so um just consideration of safe drop off 284 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:59,840 zones uh for the kids and things like that um you know congestion carries risk 285 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:05,720 right so just something to talk about as far as um you know the layout when we 286 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:11,240 get into design you know the layout of where the entrances are uh you know 287 00:26:08,279 --> 00:26:16,159 visibility all those kinds of things um you know 51 weeks of the year I think 288 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:22,399 this will be a great and you know it's a little used spot but that for that one 289 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:25,159 week um have to have some uh plans for how the daycare is going to operate 290 00:26:23,799 --> 00:26:30,159 during that week through you your worship uh uh 291 00:26:28,399 --> 00:26:36,840 Point well taken and it will I will put that on my agenda for discussion thank 292 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:43,039 you thank okay see no hands at this time I'll turn over

says commercial farms uh who is deciding what a commercial Farm is and um most 315 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:49,440 Farms have houses on there so they are driving around to collect the 316 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:55,279 recyclables from um from the 317 00:28:52,200 --> 00:29:00,039 houses but to my knowledge commercial Farms never could put any garbage on the 318 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,039 side of the road 319 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:08,360 per you ree heer the uh everything has been decided through circular materials 320 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:14,120 and circular materials is now looking after all the recycling within Ontario 321 00:29:11,159 --> 00:29:21,720 and they are deciding who is the non- eligibles and who is eligible so if the 322 00:29:17,679 --> 00:29:27,159 farm were collected as the household then that will be continued but as far 323 00:29:24,559 --> 00:29:30,720 as any if it's if it's classified in there then that all came through 324 00:29:28,799 --> 00:29:37,279 circular materials Ontario and how can uh residents find 325 00:29:33,559 --> 00:29:43,120 that out if you live in rural Ontario they would uh have to contact 326 00:29:40,039 --> 00:29:49,320 circular materials Ontario or they can contact their their municipality and 327 00:29:45,919 --> 00:29:54,240 their municipality can certainly contact whoever their um whoever's going to be 328 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:58,559 picking it up for hurin and Perth it's all through Blue Water Recycling and 329 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:03,600 then if they're in Bruce County it's through Waste

yes thank you ree so you know I understand 332 00:30:12,799 --> 00:30:18,880 the the need right obviously there's eligible and 333 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:23,000 ineligible sources and they do need to be kept separate but you know just 334 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:28,120 practically speaking um like how do we know who's 335 00:30:25,519 --> 00:30:32,440 who and what's what if a blue bin gets set on Main Street 336 00:30:29,679 --> 00:30:39,360 Wingham right how do we know if that's from a residential use or from a a 337 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:44,919 restaurant um like like is there is there an element of enforcement 338 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:49,760 to this right or you know how how does the recycling company know you know um 339 00:30:48,519 --> 00:30:55,279 or or are they going to try to discriminate between you know the boxes 340 00:30:52,600 --> 00:31:01,559 left out in front of a of a of a restaurant versus you know they think 341 00:30:58,519 --> 00:31:06,919 it's an apartment just curious on that uh through you reev heer that it's it is 342 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:12,639 going to be what I would regard as I guess the honor System moving forward 343 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:16,720 and it is I asked that same question regarding if there was an apartment 344 00:31:14,799 --> 00:31:24,279 above and they were putting recycling out then they it it really is the honor 345 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:27,960 System but what uh the uh Public Works administrative assistant is doing right 346 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:33,200 now through empac is getting the number number of uh businesses in North yon so 347 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:39,240 we can provide that to waste management so they can give us a number on what it 348 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:44,279 would be to collect these uh ICI moving forward and I believe what they're going 349 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:50,480 to do in the future if you're going to collect ICI as there would be even a 350 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:57,440 different colored bin for businesses compared to the blue box or whatever bin 351 00:31:53,159 --> 00:31:57,440 is going to be available for residential 352 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:06,399 Kate Kate counselor Palmer please yeah thank you ree um to 353 00:32:02,799 --> 00:32:10,960 chip um will this be considered a cost recovery uh formula or will there be a 354 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:15,720 cost recovery formula uh no there won't be a cost 355 00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:23,399 recovery it'll be uh if you want to provide the service to the IC it would 356 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,399 be at the cost of the 357 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:34,519 municipality okay Deputy Reed please uh thank you sir um yeah my question would 358 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:42,559 be along the same same lines as Council Palmer there U is what's the the 359 00:32:38,039 --> 00:32:46,799 financial uh impact or uh switching over to this this method where we we were 360 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:53,440 paying the waste management system to pick up the garbage on for on and 361 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:58,559 recycles on behalf of North hon now when it's being shifted over to the uh the 362 00:32:56,399 --> 00:33:04,039 manufacturer supposed to pay for that recycling portion are we going to see a 363 00:33:01,399 --> 00:33:10,840 reduction in our costs now that that is being passed on to the to the 364 00:33:07,679 --> 00:33:16,399 manufacturer uh through you the re this would now for for instance the uh bins 365 00:33:13,919 --> 00:33:20,840 that are currently out at the landfill we would be North hean used to get an 366 00:33:18,519 --> 00:33:24,600 invoice from Waste Management that invoice now will be going directly to 367 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:31,279 Circular materials so the the garbage propotion 368 00:33:28,519 --> 00:33:35,480 portion of that is still paid for by the municipality through bag tags correct 369 00:33:33,639 --> 00:33:42,000 that's correct thank you coun R 370 00:33:38,559 --> 00:33:52,080 please um yeah so so just curious right so um uh the recycling bins at um at the 371 00:33:49,159 --> 00:33:58,000 that are at the at the at the waste facility there so are we going to have 372 00:33:54,720 --> 00:34:04,720 to have two bins of everything for elig and non non-eligible users or are we 373 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:10,720 going to prevent the ICI people from putting recycling at the at the dump 374 00:34:07,519 --> 00:34:15,200 like how's how's that going to work well through you ree heer that's another 375 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:23,800 situation where the bins that are currently at our landfill are not going 376 00:34:18,720 --> 00:34:29,960 to be eligible for anybody any ICI so same thing it's we're the plan isn't to 377 00:34:27,079 --> 00:34:33,560 police it the plan is that people will understand that you just don't bring 378 00:34:31,079 --> 00:34:38,159 them out so be it I guess if some if some do bring it out then it's same 379 00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:44,159 thing it's on the honor System unless the municipality or whoever has these 380 00:34:41,079 --> 00:34:51,720 Depot agreements want to police it and then a followup to that how many 381 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:58,079 industrial properties do we have um uh in North hon or been classified as 382 00:34:55,399 --> 00:35:03,400 industrial um and to be honest you know my thought is um you know do we want to 383 00:35:01,119 --> 00:35:09,760 provide a service to say a restaurant owner uh somebody running a small a 384 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:15,280 small store um yes you know probably because um it would be very honorous for 385 00:35:12,079 --> 00:35:22,440 them to come up with their own recycling uh program but um you know to be honest 386 00:35:18,079 --> 00:35:26,720 if West cast was still um um operating and I guess they star in some reduced 387 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:33,400 capacity you know it would make sense for them to uh you know have have their 388 00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:37,000 own recycling service you know Etc so I just wonder if if and I don't know if 389 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:40,839 you know the number off the top of your head but I mean I I guess from an 390 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:45,640 opinion would that make sense to you what you know the program chip that we 391 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:51,200 you know would it make sense to potentially exclude um industrial 392 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:55,839 properties uh through you ree I don't have those numbers as I uh said uh a 393 00:35:54,359 --> 00:36:00,760 little while ago that the uh administrative assistant is deal dealing 394 00:35:57,839 --> 00:36:05,480 with empac right now to acquire all the industrial commercial and 395 00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:11,160 institutional uh businesses that are within North hon and some businesses 396 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:16,599 that may be a larger business as uh you refer to West cast they may have their 397 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:21,839 own recycling bin because of the amount of recycling that they do have and I 398 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:27,079 know that that's um something that I see here in h gri where some of the 399 00:36:24,359 --> 00:36:30,800 businesses had uh what they call convenience bins or large Blue bins 400 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:36,880 dropped off right of their business that was directly uh for their own uh use and 401 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:39,400 would be built directly from uh Blue Water 402 00:36:39,599 --> 00:36:51,760 recycling okay are there any other questions for uh director Wilson at

00:41:00,079 --> 00:41:08,280 go ahead councelor MCB Bernie yes sir you ree uh in regards to blath liberry 446 00:41:05,319 --> 00:41:08,280 where stand 447 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:17,560 there through you re have for I I councelor mcburn I'm sorry could you 448 00:41:15,359 --> 00:41:24,800 repeat the question so this this agreements for uh all the libraries we 449 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:29,040 have a BL Library I said what's the outcome of where it's going to end up or 450 00:41:26,599 --> 00:41:35,760 not end up so through you Reef heer um that was not 451 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:43,640 part of this was a um facilities and services agreement to account for the 452 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:48,200 annual um usage and uh offerings of libr the library through with at the Alis 453 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:54,359 Monroe Branch as well as the ble branch and included as you could see um in the 454 00:41:51,520 --> 00:42:00,319 attachment a number of other um branches throughout the county um it did not talk 455 00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:04,760 at all about um perhaps an expansion for ble but it did reference that if that 456 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:09,760 was to happen and when that we would be bringing a report so that wasn't part of 457 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:17,920 the discussion oh but okay thank you but the reference to usage if we don't have 458 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:22,800 one yeah so so I guess just to clarify so this agreement is based on the 459 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:26,520 different types of uh libraries and the dollar figure and what's required for 460 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:30,559 cleanings etc for each of those libraries so as long as North hean 461 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:35,559 continues to provide a comprehensive library at uh the Wingham or Alice 462 00:42:33,079 --> 00:42:41,160 Monroe library and a neighborhood Library um in blith that will be the 463 00:42:38,599 --> 00:42:45,079 expectations however uh there is notice Provisions there so if say for example 464 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:49,200 if Council wanted to discontinue Library services in bath or wanted to change the 465 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:52,720 level of service to move from a neighborhood library to a comprehensive 466 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:56,440 one this agreement would account for that we would uh we would amend that but 467 00:42:55,079 --> 00:43:01,119 basically the structure is the same depending on the of service um being 468 00:42:59,079 --> 00:43:05,920 offered in those um different areas throughout here on County uh 469 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:10,119 municipalities great thank you I think that explained it very well there and uh 470 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:15,400 if there's no other questions I I'll turn it over to our CAO please thank
