355 meters along West Corner Drive and be 127 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:54,839 approximately 40.2 hectares in size the lands to be severed are used 128 00:10:52,440 --> 00:11:00,120 for agricultural

west corner or I guess there would be no 131 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:13,560 services on the lands sorry correct that the land to be retained would have a 132 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:20,040 frontage of 455 meters along West burner drive and be approximately 40.2 hectares 133 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:25,720 in size uh the lands to be retained contain a single detach dwelling uh 134 00:11:22,639 --> 00:11:32,680 several out buildings 11 grain bins and eight smaller feed bins three barns a 135 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:37,800 microfit solar panel and agricultural land in field Crop Production the

the North Middle SE 138 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:51,480 official plan and are zoned General Agricultural and Environmental 139 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:57,760 Protection within the North Middle sex zoning bylaw surrounding land uses are 140 00:11:55,560 --> 00:12:01,279 agricult so the provincial policy statement the county official plan in 141 00:11:59,639 --> 00:12:06,560 the north mle sex official plan generally permit lot Creation in 142 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:11,560 agricultural areas for agricultural purposes where the lots are of a size 143 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:17,160 sufficiently large to maintain productive and viable Farm 144 00:12:13,959 --> 00:12:22,000 units the minimum lot size requirement as outlined in both the county and North 145 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:26,440 Middle official plan is about 40 hectares the county official plan also 146 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:33,399 requires compliance with the minimum distance separation formula 147 00:12:29,839 --> 00:12:37,320 the lands to be retained contain three barns that are used for livestock 148 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:42,920 Agriculture and would therefore trigger an MDS calculation as per omafra's uh 149 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:49,600 minimum distance separation document so guideline number eight of 150 00:12:45,519 --> 00:12:57,160 that document um speaks to um the MDS requirements for lot creation um and 151 00:12:53,360 --> 00:13:01,040 specifically um to those that uh apply for situations uh where a farm split is 152 00:12:59,839 --> 00:13:05,959 being contemplated guideline number 41 153 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:12,480 provides details with regards to how the mvs setbacks um that are required by 154 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:18,199 guideline 8 are to be uh implemented so essentially 155 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:23,320 um it requires for any new lot that is vacant and greater than one hectare in 156 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:30,040 size that a hypothetical building envelope be uh determined for that 157 00:13:27,279 --> 00:13:34,199 parcel as I pr L mentioned the purpose of the subject consent is to sever a 158 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:38,600 parcel of land to reverse an an inadvertent lot merger no change of use 159 00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:42,560 is being proposed for the severed or retained lands the applicants have 160 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:46,519 indicated that they do not intend to construct a single detached dwelling on 161 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:52,160 the severed lot and will continue to use the land in its entirety for field Crop 162 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:58,000 Production while the MDS setbacks to the new lot line will continue to apply the 163 00:13:55,279 --> 00:14:02,959 applicants will be required to uh obtain a zoning by amendment that will prohibit 164 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:09,480 future residential uses on the severed lands unless the owner is able to 165 00:14:05,839 --> 00:14:15,800 demonstrate MDS compliance for the uh new single detou 166 00:14:12,199 --> 00:14:19,920 dwelling um so the proposed lot line is intended to create two Parcels with 167 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:25,920 identical lot areas so as not to create an undersized 168 00:14:22,839 --> 00:14:31,600 F person however staff are recommending that the lot line be straightened and 169 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:37,639 moved to the East 30 m to ensure that the existing livestock Barn is wholly 170 00:14:33,759 --> 00:14:43,720 contained on the separate or the retain blot both the severed and retained 171 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:48,759 Parcels are zoned A1 and EP and the north middlex zoning bylaw states that 172 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:54,480 where a lot contains more than one zone category each portion will be evaluated 173 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:59,639 by its own zoning standards for law area and frage and some of the other 174 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:03,639 regulations as well so so as part of the conditions of consent staff recommend 175 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:09,240 that the zoning bylaw Amendment account for the undersized A1 Zone portion of 176 00:15:06,519 --> 00:15:13,759 the severed and retained lands which is due to um the EP Zone that kind of 177 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:18,920 traverses the rear of this property so in all um staff are 178 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:23,000 satisfied that the size and configuration of the proposed Lots will 179 00:15:21,079 --> 00:15:27,720 not negatively impact the ability to farm the lands and the flexibility to 180 00:15:25,839 --> 00:15:32,160 adapt to Future farming practices will not be compromised 181 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:36,199 so staff are in a position to support the proposed consent application as it 182 00:15:34,079 --> 00:15:41,440 will result in Parcels that meet or exceed the minimum standards set out in 183 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:46,399 the policy documents in terms of agency comments received the County engineer 184 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:50,600 had no concerns uh building a bylaw recommended uh a condition that confirms 185 00:15:49,319 --> 00:15:56,279 compliance with MDS and um the manager of infrastructure 186 00:15:53,800 --> 00:16:01,560 and operations uh provided several comments which are outlined in my report 187 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:05,880 uh at the time of the preparation of my report I had received no written 188 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:10,079 comments from members of the public uh So based on the foregoing it is my 189 00:16:08,079 --> 00:16:17,040 recommendation that application for consent B2 2024 be granted subject to 190 00:16:14,199 --> 00:16:23,360 the conditions in my report thank you thanks Abby uh Paul do you have comments 191 00:16:19,959 --> 00:16:29,199 on this as well thank you worship I um I don't have a lot of comments and I I 192 00:16:26,279 --> 00:16:35,680 thank um Abby the planner for her assistance in uh getting it getting us 193 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:39,240 to this point um I did just want to flag um I understand from my client that 194 00:16:38,079 --> 00:16:45,920 there is an existing uh entry way that will be on 195 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:51,639 the severed portion but I understand the the condition being there and in the 196 00:16:47,959 --> 00:16:55,279 past sometimes I've um just spoken to the the person in charge at North Middle 197 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:58,680 sex and they assess whether we need to do a whole new entrance or if there's 198 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:05,199 anything that needs to be done to the existing one so that would be the plan 199 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:09,319 there um and as mentioned the intention is just to resear these properties that 200 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:16,160 were inadvertently merged to title because they are held by the same person 201 00:17:12,679 --> 00:17:23,079 uh and it's a part of it is tax uh or state planning and tax uh issues related 202 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:27,559 to that um and I've seen it in different municipalities different uh rules about 203 00:17:25,439 --> 00:17:35,320 whether we can submit the zoning application before we have the um the 204 00:17:32,120 --> 00:17:39,160 the sketch completed ideally we'd like to be able to submit the zoning 205 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:44,080 application immediately so we can move this forward trying to follow within 206 00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:49,960 fiscal years um so I don't I don't know whether um the planner has any comments 207 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:55,400 on that but that would be my own s okay thank you Abby does you respond to that 208 00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:59,520 yeah thanks so um currently we do require that we have the 33 R number so 209 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:04,400 that we're able to legally describe the lands for the purposes of the zoning 210 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:09,600 bylaw Amendment um otherwise like we can bring it forward for two readings um but 211 00:18:07,799 --> 00:18:14,520 we've kind of moved away from doing that just uh due to the planning fee refund 212 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:19,080 Provisions in the planning act no I understand I've I've encountered that 213 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:23,120 issue before so shock me I just thought I'd inquire if there's has to be two 214 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:28,400 readings it does really move any faster anyway 215 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:32,240 right okay that's not my phone that's all I 216 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:35,559 care so there's no written submissions is there any comments from the public on 217 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:41,559 this application seeing none uh the 218 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:46,559 committee questions on the committee I I have just a comment to it every time I 219 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:50,240 see these come forward I don't like them because people have to spend money that 220 00:18:48,679 --> 00:18:54,840 they shouldn't have to spend money on they should shouldn't be happening as it 221 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:58,840 is and we've talked about this at am and different places and hopefully it gets 222 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:03,679 corrected because uh I agree there money spent that 223 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:08,880 shouldn't have to be spent yes I I agree and there have actually been some useful 224 00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:13,880 amendments to the planning act recently unfortunately none of them are trying to 225 00:19:10,799 --> 00:19:18,440 not to this deal with this hope hopefully that does get done though to 226 00:19:16,039 --> 00:19:21,640 agre to spend money no other questions or comments we have a

00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:32,640 for the subject lands municipally known as 3477 lurry wrote a recommendation 241 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:37,240 will be given to council at a later meeting after feedback

effect 244 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:50,600 of the proposed draft plan of subvision is to create seven lots for single 245 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:57,640 detached dwellings uh which would be accessed from a sawel drive and lurry 246 00:20:54,440 --> 00:21:02,159 Road the draft plan of subdivision has been attached for 247 00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:06,080 information in addition to the applications and the

00:26:39,679 from the public on this application if You' like come forward 317 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:45,640 sir I think the microphone's already on so you'd submit your name and 318 00:26:42,919 --> 00:26:51,120 just uh my name is Matt white I'm a resident of 34714 lury Roose uh your 319 00:26:49,039 --> 00:26:55,320 worship and council members thank you very much for giving us the opportunity 320 00:26:52,600 --> 00:27:00,799 to present um our case regarding the proposed subdivision in muray um to set 321 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:05,559 the record straight I'm not a nimi as we would call them in England not in my 322 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:10,360 backyard um lri actually is a great little Community I moved to lri about 323 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:15,480 six years ago looking for a rural lifestyle um at no time did I believe 324 00:27:13,039 --> 00:27:23,480 when I moved to lri that there would be a increase in the size of the Hamlet um 325 00:27:20,159 --> 00:27:28,760 I have two objections to this first of all the fabric of lry um people get 326 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:33,840 along everybody seems to know each other we say hi when we walk our dogs we like 327 00:27:31,279 --> 00:27:40,159 to feel that there is a small community up there um this whole subdivision 328 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:45,919 basically blindsided the majority of the residents in we did not have any idea 329 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:49,840 that this was happening and you know the good folks here we do not want to fall 330 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:55,279 out with them whatsoever we want again want to maintain the fabric of our small 331 00:27:52,039 --> 00:28:01,039 community but in hindsight the delivery of this has been handled very bad it's 332 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:04,919 going to divide our little Community had had these good folks literally come door 333 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:10,320 to door and as you can see from the victorial there ain't many and just came 334 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:15,799 to say hi um we're thinking of doing this do you have any objections and 335 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:21,240 unfortunately that was not done so everybody now has put up a defensive 336 00:28:17,919 --> 00:28:26,399 guard around this potential subdivision so if the subdivision was to go forward 337 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:32,360 I do believe that some of the residents in lri are looking at moving at 338 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:37,000 significant cost to them myself personally I would consider moving 339 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:40,799 because again it's ruining the fabric of the little community that I went into um 340 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:45,080 but I do understand the need for advancement I do understand the needs 341 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:50,880 for homes in ontaria I myself personally are involved in very large construction 342 00:28:47,159 --> 00:28:57,399 projects from New York City to Calgary Alberta so I make my livelihood on 343 00:28:54,919 --> 00:29:02,519 construction however the need for a affordable homes in this country is not 344 00:28:59,919 --> 00:29:08,320 going to be satisfied by the development in lri the development in L lury is 345 00:29:05,919 --> 00:29:12,679 purely for profit exercise and that brings me on to my second point about 346 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:19,640 seven years ago again when I moved into lurry my welcome to Middle sex County 347 00:29:15,559 --> 00:29:23,679 was a nice Bill to do with um drainage so there were some drainage improvements 348 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:27,760 about seven years ago and I thought you know what that's an improvement to the 349 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:34,600 infrastructure I just had some very bad timing um I paid it and I moved on with 350 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:38,960 my life my understanding now is the work required to accommodate this new 351 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:44,320 subdivision will require more drainage works now that drainage works again is 352 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:49,000 going to be build to the residents of lri probably through a direct tax 353 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:52,960 Improvement um which our understanding maybe somewhere in the region of $1,500 354 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:56,919 maybe as much as $2,000 we are not going to see any 355 00:29:55,039 --> 00:30:00,760 benefit you know the folks that are developing that area yes they'll 356 00:29:58,519 --> 00:30:05,760 probably see some Financial benefit but we as residents that's another $2,000 357 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:10,200 potentially at the most out of our pockets and as you said your honor you 358 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:15,919 don't like to see money being spent when it's really not necessary um you know 359 00:30:13,039 --> 00:30:20,720 one of my neighbors uh Pat White shares the same last name as Meely coincidental 360 00:30:18,919 --> 00:30:25,440 she's a retired nurse she lost her husband a couple years ago I don't know 361 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:29,559 about her finances but I know she's probably struggling so a bill like that 362 00:30:27,679 --> 00:30:34,480 out the blue is probably going to hurt her and then her neighbor there's a 363 00:30:32,519 --> 00:30:40,039 there's a an old lady lives in that property she's blind her husband just 364 00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:45,039 went into a nursing home and her daughter suffers with a disability and 365 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:51,360 she's also in a home you know those poor folks we never see them um obviously 366 00:30:48,799 --> 00:30:55,360 money is tight for them just from Optics and I wouldn't want to be in their 367 00:30:52,559 --> 00:30:59,799 position when they see a a bill potentially called a direct tax 368 00:30:56,679 --> 00:31:04,360 Improvement arrive on their doorstep um this is just a very unfortunate 369 00:31:01,159 --> 00:31:09,440 situation I I'm sure the intent here is very good but again had it been handled 370 00:31:07,279 --> 00:31:13,360 differently with the small community that we're in I think there may be 371 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:17,559 overwhelming support for it but right now personally I'm objecting to it 372 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:22,159 because I don't think it's been handled in the proper way and I don't want to 373 00:31:19,399 --> 00:31:26,480 pay essentially $2,000 out of my own pocket to help somebody else make some 374 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:31,360 money I mean I would propose an amendment to the motion where 375 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:35,840 essentially the increase in property taxes which North middlex will likely 376 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:42,320 Levy against the improvements to those lots is paid back to the residents of 377 00:31:39,399 --> 00:31:47,080 lri who have had to pay a direct tax Improvement fee um that is just an 378 00:31:45,639 --> 00:31:52,360 amendment proposition I would like to put forward again I understand we 379 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:56,960 probably can't stop this but if we are have to pay out of our own pocket I 380 00:31:54,679 --> 00:32:01,120 would propose that on the next tax year when when North Middle sex is collecting 381 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:07,039 taxes from that new subdivision or the owners of the lots that that extra money 382 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:12,039 is channeled back into a tax uh credit for the residents who have paid this 383 00:32:08,399 --> 00:32:16,360 money therefore equaling it out um but I again we don't want to divide our little 384 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:22,639 Community we have a a great Community as I say but again this this um proposition 385 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:26,720 has been made um honestly has divided our community um and this has been 386 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:31,679 happening well this has been ongoing now for several months and um I just wish it 387 00:32:29,679 --> 00:32:35,960 had been handled differently so thank you your honor thank you council members 388 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:39,120 for hearing me out I'm rather nervous I'm just recovering from a triple heart 389 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:44,159 bypass so my heart is fluttering a little bit but um but I certainly 390 00:32:42,399 --> 00:32:49,600 appreciate the time that you've given us tonight thank you thank you I I would 391 00:32:47,159 --> 00:32:54,559 ask Matt do you have any response to that because I think it's a legitimate 392 00:32:51,799 --> 00:33:00,000 concern about the cost to the neighboring taxpayers about the cost of 393 00:32:57,159 --> 00:33:03,120 drainage do you have a comment to that yeah absolutely um I just want to I just 394 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:06,720 want to thank the neighbor for coming out and um taking time out their day to 395 00:33:05,279 --> 00:33:11,639 provide comments that's what this is all about um so with respect to this 396 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:14,720 drainage relocation uh of course it is considered that the relocation of the 397 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:18,159 drain watch you serve to improve drainage in the area currently as it 398 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:23,679 stands of course it could be a lot better um furthermore uh it is worth 399 00:33:20,799 --> 00:33:27,279 mentioning that as per the municipality the costs for this drainage relocation 400 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:32,039 are going to be completely on the applicant so that would be on the uh the 401 00:33:30,039 --> 00:33:34,960 developer so I we don't believe that any other cost would be put on any neighbors 402 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:39,679 in the area so no cost to Neighbors in the area 403 00:33:37,679 --> 00:33:44,480 uh Furthermore with respect to the um the anticipation that ly would not 404 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:49,919 expand as a hamlet um as per the municipal op uh the lands are designated 405 00:33:47,679 --> 00:33:54,120 as Hamlet residential areas so residential development in the form that 406 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:59,559 is proposed is contemplated here it is the plan vision of this community as set 407 00:33:56,559 --> 00:33:59,559 out by the the municipal 408 00:34:00,279 --> 00:34:07,320 op okay thank you I just want to clarify that comment you had said there's no 409 00:34:04,679 --> 00:34:13,240 cost from drainage cost to the neighbors correct okay this this 410 00:34:09,879 --> 00:34:18,159 development is completely uh developer L okay thank you thank you sir thank you 411 00:34:16,119 --> 00:34:22,679 very much other comments from the public on this application anyone else like to 412 00:34:20,720 --> 00:34:30,159 speak on this come on come on up Sir come on up 413 00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:30,159 he's two and just give your name please 414 00:34:30,359 --> 00:34:40,720 and how do I follow that um hi I'm Julie Canton um we reside at 34684 lry Road 415 00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:47,839 and we also own the bacon lot beside us it's the residential lot at 416 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:55,240 34688 um we've resided there for almost 10 years now and we from past 417 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:58,960 um uh meetings we weren't able to go because it was during the week and 9:00 418 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:03,040 a.m. I'm surprised that anybody was able to go to that meeting but anyways um I 419 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:07,400 just wanted to make sure because as for the last meeting we were told that we 420 00:35:05,079 --> 00:35:10,200 may have been able we would we were told that we would have to pay for some of 421 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:14,320 the costs and that was just something that I had up in my write up that we did 422 00:35:11,720 --> 00:35:20,960 not want to be responsible for the cost of rerouting the drain um and we also 423 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:24,760 want to ensure that where um the moson or sign drain Branch b the first 424 00:35:23,079 --> 00:35:30,200 proposal that was set out was to be rerouted onto our second residential lot 425 00:35:27,839 --> 00:35:33,880 34688 on lry road and we wanted to ensure that it does not hinder future 426 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:38,599 development opportunities on that second lot if we were to sell or build on that 427 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:41,599 lot so if there were a drain to go through it or partially on it we just 428 00:35:40,359 --> 00:35:47,839 wanted to make sure that it wasn't going to hinder future development for our own 429 00:35:44,599 --> 00:35:55,040 um what you want say yeah so is there a way of zooming in on your picture your 430 00:35:50,319 --> 00:35:59,200 image of the the map there at 34688 almost in the center of that Frontage of 431 00:35:57,359 --> 00:36:01,599 the property that's where the drain connects 432 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,920 in see if we can get that bigger 433 00:36:10,119 --> 00:36:13,520 sorry that's not 434 00:36:25,720 --> 00:36:32,720 bigger yeah almost in the center of that front 435 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:38,800 edge there okay yeah 436 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:43,599 problem so where the drain ties in I'm not I'm not exactly sure as to where the 437 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:48,079 drain continues from there so on the drawing that we have in an 438 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:51,960 email it's a blue line going to the catch Basin we're not sure where it 439 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:56,720 continues from there so if it goes across our properties to the South and 440 00:36:55,079 --> 00:37:01,319 then then goes down the road there or if it goes straight back towards um Denny's 441 00:36:59,599 --> 00:37:08,000 field there okay uh looking for a little more 442 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:14,560 clarity Okay who wants to who wants to approach 443 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:19,200 that Jen I can oh Matt go ahead yeah I can quickly provide some clarity on that 444 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:24,079 as per our drawings the drain is supposed to run only along the west side 445 00:37:20,839 --> 00:37:27,880 of liry and then uh West on of sable so what's going to happen is it's going to 446 00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:33,440 go into the uh the in property 3477 through one of the proposed lots 447 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:38,000 and then down to El so it really should there is no connection to any 448 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:41,920 neighboring properties okay thank you so you said on it's going to run on the 449 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:46,280 west side correct yep so down the west side of ly there into the site and 450 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:56,280 then okay Jaden J maybe Jadon yeah thank you Mr Mayor through you just want to 451 00:37:53,560 --> 00:38:01,720 clarify our doin engineering Inc is current ly working on this and um they 452 00:37:59,359 --> 00:38:06,400 haven't prepared a draft report yet so it's preliminary to say which side 453 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:10,040 it's on I'm just looking at the the meeting notes here so it hasn't been 454 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:13,680 determined yet I know they were looking at the west side and that was looking 455 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:16,960 more likely but it is uh that's not determined yet they're still working 456 00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:22,599 through that process okay so it's still in process at this point okay thank you 457 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:26,800 thank you no um it's good I'm glad that we had the opportunity to come and 458 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:30,079 obviously as stated in like my in the is that we all said we definitely have no 459 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:34,200 qualms at all with any of our neighbors in L especially MOS we have no qualms 460 00:38:32,240 --> 00:38:37,839 whatsoever if I was in your spot I'd do the same thing um but obviously with 461 00:38:36,079 --> 00:38:41,800 four young children we've been there for 10 years and obviously if we could have 462 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:46,760 a last say Obviously we wouldn't want more neighbors um and obviously l Road 463 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:51,880 is very quiet so our kids learned how to ride their bikes on l Road so obviously 464 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:57,119 if we had a choice we would say I don't want more neighbors but obviously um if 465 00:38:54,359 --> 00:39:00,599 this is what comes to but um yeah so any sort of notifications from here on out 466 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:06,000 if we find more information I would totally love to learn about it as the 467 00:39:02,119 --> 00:39:09,240 days go on thanks all right thank you thank you thank you uh is there any more 468 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:14,400 public comments on this 469 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:21,720 application any more public comments on this time seeing none uh Council Council 470 00:39:18,359 --> 00:39:28,680 ke thank you mayor R Jaden any idea when that report for the drainage might be in 471 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:32,079 place so that could maybe put neighbors Minds at 472 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:36,480 rest yeah through the mayor we're expecting the the draft report in the 473 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:41,119 next couple weeks thank 474 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:46,000 you Council win thank you worship I have two 475 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:51,359 comments or questions one is just to clarify and I think I got the answer 476 00:39:48,359 --> 00:39:56,960 would like clarification um any grinage work from this property uh would not be 477 00:39:53,680 --> 00:40:01,319 a cost to existing Neighbors the existing Community is that correct 478 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:06,359 did I hear that correct Matt that is 479 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:10,960 correct okay thank you my second comment goes back to the planner's report the 480 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:16,240 planner was talking about neighborhood compatibility and her report and there 481 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:19,680 was one of the respondents talked about outdoor lighting and light pollution 482 00:40:18,319 --> 00:40:22,119 would that be dealt with in terms of neighborhood 483 00:40:25,359 --> 00:40:34,520 compatibility so at this time um I don't believe that we have anything uh that 484 00:40:31,599 --> 00:40:41,800 speaks specifically to lighting um in the municipality's planning documents 485 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:47,359 um that is something that could be considered through a future review of 486 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:51,960 the municipality's planning documents but given that this is a standalone uh 487 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:57,000 application for a plan of subdivision meaning that there's no Associated 488 00:40:54,000 --> 00:41:03,359 zoning bylaw Amendment attached to it um it's a little bit difficult um for us to 489 00:41:00,359 --> 00:41:06,079 consider that through this subject application 490 00:41:06,359 --> 00:41:12,119 specifically thank you just a second Ashley go ahead thank you your worship 491 00:41:10,599 --> 00:41:15,359 I'd just like to site that the municipality does not have an 492 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:19,839 illumination bylaw at the time but we currently address concerns with lighting 493 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:24,720 and between neighbors through our public nuisance bylaw and so it would be 494 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:28,560 potentially covered under that Jaden were you to speak to this as 495 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:32,440 well do you have something yes thank you through you just 496 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:38,319 to add to the the main um the cost of the drainage Works 497 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:42,359 um on page nine of the planner's report it does include the the comments from 498 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:46,319 the um from the infrastructure and operations department and there was a 499 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:49,760 comment there that prior to final approval the owner shall address all 500 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:53,079 matters pertaining to the proposed relocation of the existing Municipal 501 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:57,240 drain which currently runs through the property to be developed to the 502 00:41:54,720 --> 00:42:00,520 satisfaction of the municip and that the owner shall be responsible 503 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:04,240 for all costs associated with the municipal drain relocation so that was a 504 00:42:02,839 --> 00:42:08,640 comment we put forward and we'd expect that to be carried into the subdivision 505 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:12,839 agreement perfect thank you all right Council canel thank you Mayor Rob uh 506 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:19,880 guess my question is for the developer maybe perhaps Matt um what's the time 507 00:42:15,240 --> 00:42:19,880 frame for this project to uh to 508 00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:32,359 begin um we don't have a we don't have a direct timeline at this stage um I could 509 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:36,000 also my colleague Matt Campbell's partner with s link p is also on this 510 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:38,480 call right now if he wanted to perhaps speak to 511 00:42:39,839 --> 00:42:46,839 that I don't know if he has speaking ability in this meeting although he 512 00:42:44,119 --> 00:42:46,839 should be in the zoom 513 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:58,240 call good evening Council it's Matt Campbell here can you hear me yes 514 00:42:56,319 --> 00:43:02,119 wonderful uh thanks to my colleague Matt for passing that over so Matt is 515 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:06,559 absolutely correct there's no defined timeline for this in this type of 516 00:43:04,359 --> 00:43:11,760 development scenario we typically see site development you know actual uh work 517 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:17,640 proceeding on the ground you know probably within a year of the draft 518 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:21,839 approval of the subdivision if the county sees to it that that's what uh 519 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:25,760 the county would like to De with that there's quite a while uh and there's a 520 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:28,559 lot of work that has to be taken into account 521 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:33,480 engineering drainage so on and so forth that has to be done well in advance 522 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:39,240 before any soil actually gets moved so I would estimate you know a year uh and 523 00:43:36,079 --> 00:43:43,200 that's probably on the shorter time frame usually it's a little bit longer 524 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:48,040 than that but I know that there's uh some everyone has pushes to get things 525 00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:54,079 done quicker so probably plus or minus a year thank you okay Council irn you had 526 00:43:51,319 --> 00:43:57,599 a followup uh yes worship and that just follows the last comment we have a 527 00:43:55,839 --> 00:44:03,079 number members of the community

council today for your consideration uh my first report is a 655 00:54:34,720 --> 00:54:40,559 fourth quarter and year end report uh to give Council an idea of building permit 656 00:54:38,799 --> 00:54:46,119 activity that we've seen for 2023 um so I'll I'll briefly step 657 00:54:43,119 --> 00:54:50,599 Council through through the report and I'll first start by saying that 2023 was 658 00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:54,640 actually a very decent year considering what we've seen uh in the southwest 659 00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:59,680 region uh some municipalities were hit very heavily uh with the residential 660 00:54:57,119 --> 00:55:05,240 decline middle sex Center being one L mid off as well we saw a great reduction 661 00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:08,440 in housing starts new dwellings um some of our neighbors Southwest Middle sex 662 00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:14,079 and Mecca have actually had very good years better than in previous so uh and 663 00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:18,359 North Middle sex really held its own so a good report really considering what 664 00:55:16,119 --> 00:55:23,920 what some of our neighbors and others in Southern Ontario seen so um we have a 665 00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:29,760 slight decrease in new homes uh this past year of 26 down from 30 in 2022 and 666 00:55:28,039 --> 00:55:36,880 the the cost of construction went I believe down from 46 million down to 42 667 00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:40,680 million or 41 million so generally uh a slight reduction in cost of construction 668 00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:44,839 as well but like I said it's it was a very decent 669 00:55:42,559 --> 00:55:48,880 year uh with my year reports I like to highlight a couple um couple of 670 00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:54,000 significant events that occurred each year so I can say 671 00:55:51,359 --> 00:55:59,559 for uh for last year I'm I'm happy to say that we brought a new building bylaw 672 00:55:56,240 --> 00:56:02,760 to council um we do building inspection for five municipalities and I'm pleased 673 00:56:01,799 --> 00:56:06,359 to say that each of those five municipalities all pass the same 674 00:56:04,319 --> 00:56:12,359 building byw that's very helpful for staff in processing building permits um 675 00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:16,680 things from inspections that we do uh some of the policies in the department 676 00:56:14,319 --> 00:56:20,280 and refund policy refund policies even they're all in that same building bylaw 677 00:56:18,359 --> 00:56:25,680 so there a nice level of consistency we can all work work from so uh it's nice 678 00:56:22,720 --> 00:56:30,000 to have that um a year prior we developed a consistent U fee bylaw with 679 00:56:28,319 --> 00:56:34,839 the three municipalities that joined our group so um again more consistency it's 680 00:56:32,799 --> 00:56:38,480 a it's another accomplishment when we brought on the program those were the 681 00:56:36,240 --> 00:56:42,520 two two things we wanted to set forth first is the consistent PES and a 682 00:56:40,240 --> 00:56:48,039 consistent building bylaw so I'm pleased to say we achieved that um also last 683 00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:54,440 year uh we were a recipient of an award at at Amo for our uh our shared service 684 00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:57,440 agreement for the five municipalities so thought I'd 685 00:56:55,640 --> 00:57:00,920 throw that out one more time to council and probably let it go after this oh 686 00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:03,359 yeah we're doing the agreement tonight aren't we 687 00:57:04,720 --> 00:57:10,160 that um so in my report I have a few tables here outlining a lot of 688 00:57:08,559 --> 00:57:14,319 Statistics I'm not sure if council's had a chance to look at it or not but uh 689 00:57:12,319 --> 00:57:19,359 it's a comparison table one is a comparison of permits and new dwellings 690 00:57:18,039 --> 00:57:23,599 uh and cost of construction at each municipality scene so you can kind of 691 00:57:21,319 --> 00:57:28,319 see how North Middle sex did compared to its neighbors and some po 692 00:57:25,839 --> 00:57:36,119 uh in total our Building Division issued 962 permits slightly down from 693 00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:41,480 1146 in 2022 and we approved 268 new dwellings this is across the five mes 694 00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:47,599 not just North Middle sex uh 268 new dwellings in in this region down from 695 00:57:43,799 --> 00:57:51,720 284 um and three apartment buildings um it's a slight reduction but um and 696 00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:55,559 Southwest Middle sex ad mcaf actually brought things up where middle sex 697 00:57:53,359 --> 00:58:01,000 Center look off kind of dragged it down so um all in all it's it was a good year 698 00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:05,880 we paid the bills and we H part of that storm but it was it was a much slower 699 00:58:02,799 --> 00:58:05,880 year than what we've seen 700 00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:13,839 previously um table two is a specific breakdown for the 701 00:58:12,119 --> 00:58:18,440 fourth quarter what we saw in the fourth quarter and the year-to date numbers and 702 00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:24,079 it's a breakdown with types of permits so it's how many singles we've seen how 703 00:58:20,559 --> 00:58:27,559 many garages T tools septic systems a lot of statistics here again what we saw 704 00:58:26,039 --> 00:58:31,079 in the fourth quarter what the year end numbers were uh as well as yearend 705 00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:36,480 numbers from the previous year so you can see you know how many pools we had 706 00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:41,880 last year compared to 2022 and the cost so it's again it's interesting 707 00:58:39,359 --> 00:58:45,920 information um looked at long term for the stat statisticians I 708 00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:54,480 guess the third table is a comparison of North Middle sex permits permit fees 709 00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:58,359 development charges collected and cost con construction over the past uh past 710 00:58:56,520 --> 00:59:03,280 six years so again it's a good comparator to see how how each year 711 00:59:00,319 --> 00:59:07,319 compares to the other um 151 permits is what we issued last year um building 712 00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:12,280 permit fees brought in were 222,000 uh development charges 300 over 713 00:59:09,799 --> 00:59:15,799 300,000 in DCS and the construction value was over 41 714 00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:23,920 million um table four is a breakdown of new housing or new dwellings have been 715 00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:30,280 created again pretty consistent 2020 and 2022 with 26 and 30 those two years up 716 00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:33,920 from the previous couple years so um it's it'll be interesting to see how we 717 00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:37,720 do this year high hopes for what we're GNA see El Craig for example with the 718 00:59:35,359 --> 00:59:42,079 new subdivision there uh which leads to table five we have a breakdown um we 719 00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:46,400 like to break down by by settlement areas so you can see how much growth 720 00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:52,160 we've seen in Park Hill versus El parallel um so it's just some nice 721 00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:55,640 numbers to compare at over the over the next few years as 722 00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:59,720 well so that is my building report for the 723 00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:06,520 year end and I open any questions on that question Council Council 724 01:00:02,799 --> 01:00:10,599 Irwin just one question work on table five the rural areas is that any the 725 01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:15,960 other settlement area or is that strictly rural farm community yeah 726 01:00:14,319 --> 01:00:19,839 generally it's the rural farm community so if it's outside of Park Hiller 727 01:00:20,039 --> 01:00:26,880 car counc canelson AR my question has to do with 728 01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:31,920 the agricultural buildings and I noticed that that's still the the 729 01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:36,599 prevalant cost if you will or construction um are they primarily like 730 01:00:34,839 --> 01:00:40,319 livestock barns or they drive sheds or do you 731 01:00:37,799 --> 01:00:43,960 know uh through the mirror and shooting from the hip I can't really say but it's 732 01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:48,000 it's a combination of those whether it's a drive shed or a livestock building or 733 01:00:45,599 --> 01:00:52,280 a green bin or a silo they're all lumped in that one category of farm buildings 734 01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:57,000 uh if you want more information I can probably get that for you but 735 01:00:55,400 --> 01:01:00,280 I'm just curious if if this livestock building because like they tend to be 736 01:00:58,839 --> 01:01:05,039 more costly than any other structure going up on farm and a 23 million in 737 01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:08,319 change I'm assuming that there's a significant number of livestock 738 01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:12,319 buildings going up and I'm just wondering how many that's okay yeah 739 01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:15,960 through the mayor um I could probably get some more information for you um 740 01:01:14,799 --> 01:01:20,319 sometimes it's deceiving a building report we could have two permits that 741 01:01:17,359 --> 01:01:23,799 total 20 million um it's but we definitely have had agriculture has done 742 01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:27,119 very well over the last couple years and they haven't really been by the 743 01:01:24,839 --> 01:01:33,480 reduction that residential's been with it's not important okay thank you 744 01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:37,839 okay other questions counc ke thank you mayor up Arnie what would the turnaround 745 01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:42,039 time be on inspection uh should one be called in I actually had a rate figure 746 01:01:39,319 --> 01:01:47,480 just ask that day sure uh through the mayor so the building code requires an 747 01:01:44,599 --> 01:01:52,839 inspection within 48 Hours of notice uh our building bylaw we we've taken that 748 01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:58,960 down to 24 hours um and generally we meet that timeline so um what we'd like 749 01:01:55,480 --> 01:02:02,880 to is get the inspection requests in um I think by 8:00 the night before so when 750 01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:07,000 we come into work we know what our day is going to be that day but uh we should 751 01:02:05,279 --> 01:02:12,359 provide you an inspection the next day on 752 01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:16,839 request any other questions Council I did have one and it is on a smaller app 753 01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:21,720 permit and that would be a pool for example do you do inspections on the 754 01:02:19,599 --> 01:02:26,799 fencing being done and all through that or does that become a 755 01:02:23,359 --> 01:02:29,839 BYOD yeah uh to the mayor uh great question that's our primary inspection 756 01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:34,640 when it comes to pool permits is the safety of the yard including the fence 757 01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:37,839 and the gate uh we do look at you know how close the pool is to the property 758 01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:41,079 line and the pool equipment um but definitely we want to see the fence and 759 01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:45,440 gate there uh to close off a building permit we wouldn't leave that for by law 760 01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:48,279 enforcement perfect thank you no other questions we have a recommendation to 761 01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:55,760 receive this report Council dagel Council K all in 762 01:02:51,200 --> 01:03:00,720 favor carried and you're on again with agreement thank you mayor uh my second 763 01:02:58,559 --> 01:03:06,520 report uh is uh something that we've come up with regarding funding and U I'd 764 01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:13,039 like to just identify a typo in this report I apologize on page two at the 765 01:03:09,279 --> 01:03:17,799 very top we refer to since 2001 Building Inspections have been provided to North 766 01:03:15,039 --> 01:03:24,640 Middle sex from middlex center it's 2021 not 200 but the the intent of that was 767 01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:29,440 um where I'm going to start with so in 2001 middlex Center started doing 768 01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:33,799 Building Inspections for luk Mid and doing our inspections uh we build it out 769 01:03:31,599 --> 01:03:40,119 based on the kilometers that we drove and the hours that we spent on files for 770 01:03:36,799 --> 01:03:44,880 LOL and we did day-to-day hour tracking and we sent an invoice to Luc Midol 771 01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:50,640 quarterly um and we've been doing that for 20 years so when we took on self 772 01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:54,680 middle sex meaf and North Middle SE we continued with that time tracking we 773 01:03:52,440 --> 01:04:01,240 tracking our hours every day uh and also look the kilometers that we drive um we 774 01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:05,839 found that now to be fairly honorous for staff to continue time tracking hour by 775 01:04:03,799 --> 01:04:10,440 hour and we also found it very predictable that uh what we estimate 776 01:04:09,319 --> 01:04:13,880 right now is about two and a half building inspectors are used to inspect 777 01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:18,240 for the four municipalities and so rather than time 778 01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:22,880 tracking our hour hour by hour operations whether it's plans 779 01:04:20,559 --> 01:04:27,079 review uh time on the telephone or doing our inspections we like we've come up 780 01:04:25,119 --> 01:04:31,680 with a new for funding formula that we like the councils to approve uh so right 781 01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:36,160 now our agreement refers to time tracking by hour we like to revise that 782 01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:39,760 agreement to come up with a a formula that we've approved or or we've 783 01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:43,839 developed uh which is based on a combination of the assessment of the 784 01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:46,640 municipality so a larger municipality midle North Middle sex has a higher 785 01:04:45,319 --> 01:04:50,480 assessment than that uh so a combination of the 786 01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:57,279 assessment of the municipality as well as the construction U uh the fees 787 01:04:53,640 --> 01:05:01,880 collected by that municipality so it's it's it's 50% of each where each year 788 01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:07,799 we'll look at the previous year and a half to see compare the assessment and 789 01:05:05,039 --> 01:05:12,079 compare the uh the fees that have been generated by each municipality and we 790 01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:15,880 would juggle out the costing of Two and a Half building inspectors and a small 791 01:05:13,559 --> 01:05:20,000 portion of Chief Building official uh and we would approve we would provide 792 01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:23,039 that to your accounting team for budgeting at the beginning of the year 793 01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:27,799 so that's what we'd like to take to council today is that new process rather 794 01:05:25,799 --> 01:05:32,279 than SP time and just to get it documented into the 795 01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:36,640 agreement so will that be that would be a huge saving on time corre I would 796 01:05:34,559 --> 01:05:39,640 think on administrative time it is quite a bit administrative time for our 797 01:05:38,039 --> 01:05:43,760 building inspectors and also for building and things okay I was quite a 798 01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:46,359 bit involved okay I'll turn that over to council for 799 01:05:46,799 --> 01:05:53,079 questions I just one comment I would make it's just and it's just a typo on 800 01:05:52,079 --> 01:06:00,200 uh 4.1 and it is just it says in the in the 801 01:05:56,240 --> 01:06:06,520 event that uh that said of that there is an increase of 10% is that it says that 802 01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:10,200 three is increase could be it should be there instead of 803 01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:15,039 three okay okay that's on the last paragraph that's just it's just a type 804 01:06:13,039 --> 01:06:19,920 and Through the Mirror if I can add one one final thing our billing last year 805 01:06:17,039 --> 01:06:24,520 was $118,000 to North Middle sex and right now we're we're suggesting it be 806 01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:27,359 129 for 2024 so that's we we've done the numbers for 2024 807 01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:34,160 that's what it would be in case council is wondering okay any other questions 808 01:06:31,039 --> 01:06:37,680 comments counc Kelis thank you may Rob AR I understand rationale for your 809 01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:42,920 argument in your presentation however should the construction industry slow 810 01:06:40,079 --> 01:06:46,760 down and then we're we're we're bearing the cross of these costs that may not be 811 01:06:45,079 --> 01:06:51,119 needed how how are we going to work with that yeah through the mirror that's a 812 01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:56,720 great question and there is that risk uh what we've seen over the previous five 813 01:06:52,720 --> 01:07:03,039 years that each has uh resulted or has come up with a still a decent Surplus 814 01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:08,680 that Surplus will go into a contingency fund or Reserve fund at the municipality 815 01:07:05,079 --> 01:07:12,880 that can be used for the slow years so this year we're budgeting based on the 816 01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:17,000 previous two years uh of what we've seen for activity over those years you have 817 01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:21,039 seen a surplus and some funds should have gone into a building building 818 01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:26,240 department Reserve fund to take care of those those light years um my hopeful 819 01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:30,319 that we won't see that if we do then we may be here having that conversation 820 01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:34,559 next year but right now our plan is to have it build out this way um and hopes 821 01:07:32,799 --> 01:07:41,160 that that will cover things I have one more question if I may 822 01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:44,279 and that's on the uh number three page three I believe building serves the 823 01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:50,240 calculations for building and uh if I look at the um 824 01:07:48,839 --> 01:07:55,480 permanent revenue and I look down there and I see 825 01:07:53,119 --> 01:08:02,599 North middle section at 27% and Southwest Middle SE at 32% and I'm just 826 01:07:59,839 --> 01:08:07,480 wondering how you we can come to the conclusion of the costing out and your 827 01:08:09,559 --> 01:08:16,640 proposal sorry just bear with me for a moment if you don't no problem it's yes 828 01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:20,920 the permit revenue is the middle graph yeah so through the mayor uh the middle 829 01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:25,839 table shows the permanent revenue of each of those municipalities in 2022 uh 830 01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:31,880 those four municipalities have come up with $760,000 in 831 01:08:28,279 --> 01:08:36,640 Revenue um below that is is a percentage I guess of each of those municipalities 832 01:08:33,480 --> 01:08:40,560 how much of that 760,000 was their cont was is there is their piece of that P 833 01:08:39,279 --> 01:08:47,279 and um so that's that's what that percentage 834 01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:52,880 refers to so sellus middle sex had a um had a significant permit Revenue um I 835 01:08:50,759 --> 01:08:59,120 guess that's your your 20% for North M sex oh sorry Southwest is 32% North 836 01:08:56,480 --> 01:08:59,120 Middle sex is 837 01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:10,600 27 yeah if you look at the 2023 Revenue the totals um so the middle table third 838 01:09:08,799 --> 01:09:15,080 column over 2023 permit revenue is 276,000 839 01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:19,279 um in total I guess the total of that middle table is where we have that 32 840 01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:19,279 and the 841 01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:28,040 27 if you see that yeah but but then it seems like when you go to the bottom 842 01:09:24,839 --> 01:09:32,640 graph the numbers are reversed right because then it goes to 27 and 32 and 843 01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:39,080 you slide over it goes to 32 and 26 so permit Revenue average is 27 for for 2% 844 01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:42,799 for us 32 for for Southwest and you slide over allocation pay municipalities 845 01:09:41,159 --> 01:09:47,600 the numbers are reversed so I'm just confused by that yeah and through the 846 01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:52,799 mayor those numbers reflect a combination of a waiting of the 847 01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:58,920 assessment column 2023 assessment column and the permit Revenue column so the the 848 01:09:56,480 --> 01:10:02,840 the First Column is 2023 assessment where North Middle sex is 37% and 849 01:10:01,159 --> 01:10:07,120 Southwest is 20 okay so assessment that's the value 850 01:10:05,679 --> 01:10:12,239 of the structures that are going no that's the assessment of the 851 01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:18,920 municipality so sex assessment is $2.1 billion I see okay and so it's it's a 852 01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:21,880 the waiting the allocation is half of it's weighted on the assessment of the 853 01:10:20,159 --> 01:10:25,719 municipality how large that municipality is the assess value so the over assess 854 01:10:24,440 --> 01:10:30,679 the overall assessed value of North middlex is 2.1 billion where the over 855 01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:35,000 assess the overall assess value of Southwest is two 856 01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:38,520 billion uh and that's the first category I guess that's you want to compare 857 01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:44,080 apples and apples I understand so we taken half the assessment weight and 858 01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:49,760 half of the uh Revenue this is similar to an agreement 859 01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:53,679 we had L Shores with the fire Services when it was assess based assessment 860 01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:57,840 based without representation correct very 861 01:10:54,960 --> 01:11:01,280 similar yeah very much we have the Tea Party in Boston on that it certainly is 862 01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:05,239 one of the challenges with a shared service agreement and we want to be as 863 01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:09,840 transparent as possible uh so we're still in the early stages of that the 864 01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:15,159 best way to to build out our time and to to C share this this serice thank you 865 01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:20,480 okay other questions uh just on that will this be a 866 01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:24,960 living document that's sort of at the end of the year it's renewed or it's 867 01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:28,800 checked and it's verified to see that it's that it's working yes great 868 01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:33,199 question thank you through the mayor um this document will change every year um 869 01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:38,719 and will B be based on the previous year's construction Value Plus the first 870 01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:41,120 half of the current year okay so and because we don't want to wait till the 871 01:11:39,679 --> 01:11:45,600 end of the year because we all do our budgets at different times middlex 872 01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:49,320 Center we want to get our budget set um in the third quarter so at the first 873 01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:55,040 half of this year we'll we'll come up with uh the total construction uh 874 01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:58,960 Revenue this year year plus last year so it'll be a year and a half and every 875 01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:05,199 year we'll recalculate it all right thank you any other 876 01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:12,840 questions counc just um TW a question to worship so this year's a pilot pardon me 877 01:12:09,199 --> 01:12:20,480 2024 will be a pilot year correct first year pilot year so can we review the 878 01:12:16,480 --> 01:12:23,880 whole uh weighted uh formula before 2025 because after first year we might have 879 01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:27,400 some service considerations or some other issues that kind of speaks to the 880 01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:32,000 mayor's question as well a council's direction yeah we we 881 01:12:30,159 --> 01:12:34,719 certainly can make it just for one year see how this works for our member 882 01:12:33,480 --> 01:12:40,880 municipalities and then consider bringing it 883 01:12:37,239 --> 01:12:46,040 back if that's council's wish that's uh that's what's in front of 884 01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:48,639 council council carelis do we need to make a decision 885 01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:55,560 tonight what would you defer for what I'm just ask if we need to make a 886 01:12:54,360 --> 01:13:02,159 decision ton well we have a recommendation that's up to Council 887 01:12:59,159 --> 01:13:02,159 Deal 888 01:13:03,679 --> 01:13:11,800 okay what's your wish counc deel I'd like I'd like to see it for one year so 889 01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:17,920 we can see where how it's working you're making that a 890 01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:24,639 motion you're seconding it any discussion on that in favor of 891 01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:30,000 that carried okay okay thank you very much thank you 892 01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:35,320 we'll be here again in the year yes we will I'll reach out to I think I think 893 01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:39,280 that's uh the good side to that I believe is the fact that it gives a 894 01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:43,040 chance to see where everybody's at so okay and it's not a reflection on the 895 01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:45,719 services understood understood thank you okay thank you 896 01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:58,840 thanks our next report is uh manager of infrastructure and ELR Water Tower 897 01:13:54,159 --> 01:13:58,840 project update and Stuart come on 898 01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:10,159 up are you coming up as well Rod no he's just gonna 899 01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:16,040 let okay okay perfect thank you yeah all right go ahead Jaden all 900 01:14:12,199 --> 01:14:21,280 right okay um good evening your worship and members of council um as mayor Ro 901 01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:25,480 mentioned we're joined here tonight by Stuart Winchester of SEMA Plus 902 01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:29,360 um who will be available to provide any additional information as required and 903 01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:34,639 to assist with answering um any questions from Council on this report um 904 01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:37,880 so as requested at a previous council meeting I've prepared an information 905 01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:42,199 report for Council for the Ala Craig Water Tower 906 01:14:39,239 --> 01:14:46,760 project um the report includes a timeline of the project in table one and 907 01:14:45,159 --> 01:14:51,080 there's a financial summary of the project 908 01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:57,400 provided as summarized in table two the design phase was completed approximately 909 01:14:54,280 --> 01:15:01,320 $45,000 under budget the Construction contract is estimated to be completed 910 01:14:59,639 --> 01:15:06,199 approximately $27,000 under budget and the site 911 01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:10,280 inspection and contract Administration contract is estimated to come in 912 01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:14,040 approximately 63,000 over budget SEMA Plus Engineering is 913 01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:18,960 requesting that their site inspection and contract Administration budget be 914 01:15:15,639 --> 01:15:22,639 increased by $63,000 to cover additional engineering costs incurred as a result 915 01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:26,920 of unforeseen project delays which summarized in the report and in the 916 01:15:24,239 --> 01:15:30,960 attached letter um this report also provides council with some information 917 01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:35,600 about project efficiencies including a summary of some of the main project 918 01:15:33,440 --> 01:15:40,000 efficiencies um and as of the most recent Payment Certificate there was 919 01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:48,040 still approximately $6,200 worth of uncompleted work and 920 01:15:44,199 --> 01:15:54,159 7,750 of deficiency work remaining to be completed um the project is currently in 921 01:15:50,600 --> 01:16:01,159 the warranty um phase um it received substantial um performance in October 922 01:15:57,280 --> 01:16:05,040 2022 so in October 2024 is when two-year warranty period comes to an end and the 923 01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:10,280 next steps on this project are going to be um working on addressing the 924 01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:16,920 outstanding deficiencies completing final testing and inspection and then 925 01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:21,239 final submittals um before total project completion so um I'm available and 926 01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:25,120 steuart's available to answer any questions Council ask question 927 01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:38,400 no questions c c k thank you mayor up uh Jaden and Stewart uh just reading 928 01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:43,639 through this here this afternoon um looking through the 929 01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:50,800 deficiency portion of this and uh it seems that we're almost being fed 930 01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:57,080 for uh adverse weather conditions um different uh ashphalt repairs top soil 931 01:16:53,800 --> 01:17:02,239 and that kind of stuff um why would we be why would that be on 932 01:17:00,480 --> 01:17:07,679 the municipalities back so through the mayor um those costs 933 01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:14,440 um you know those deficiencies identified those aren't items that we're 934 01:17:10,159 --> 01:17:19,320 we're paying for again um typically for deficiencies that's money that we'll 935 01:17:16,199 --> 01:17:25,440 hold back from the contractor um so when I covered the um that there's remaining 936 01:17:23,719 --> 01:17:28,280 um uncompleted work and deficiency work it's money we haven't paid to the 937 01:17:26,639 --> 01:17:34,239 contractor yet until we're satisfied that those deficiencies are addressed so 938 01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:38,280 um they did have to come back and and um address some of that the issues with top 939 01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:41,360 soil and the seed and they had to do a couple ashphalt um repairs when it 940 01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:47,120 wasn't satisfactory um so for those matters um 941 01:17:45,159 --> 01:17:52,000 we're not double paying or being penalized on 942 01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:56,920 them and that also like the calibration of that uh bulk water uh system that 943 01:17:54,520 --> 01:18:00,159 both you and I worked at to get that into play 944 01:18:00,199 --> 01:18:11,000 um okay I'll just leave it at that you CS thank you Jaden how was SEMA 945 01:18:08,239 --> 01:18:11,000 awarded this 946 01:18:11,679 --> 01:18:19,320 contract through the mayor um I wasn't here but I I believe that um 947 01:18:18,480 --> 01:18:25,320 the municipality information because I think 948 01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:32,880 he was here then but there was um an RFP process um so the project was put out to 949 01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:37,840 RFP and proposals were submitted by um multiple engineering firms and then they 950 01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:43,360 were selected um and recommended to be awarded the contract Council then so 951 01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:49,560 they submitted a bid correct and and Council accepted that bid yeah they 952 01:18:46,480 --> 01:18:54,520 submitted that proposal right and so now the the bid was not adequate to cover 953 01:18:52,520 --> 01:19:03,120 what these field are costs they're coming to us to increase the bid post 954 01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:08,639 taste that's correct um well is that not on on the bidder is it not on them then 955 01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:13,040 to be responsible to bid responsibly so maybe I'll open it up to steuart here as 956 01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:16,480 well provide comment I think what you're asking for is justification of the 957 01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:21,600 increas well absolutely because if they submit a bid like in my days as a 958 01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:25,280 contractor when I submitted a bid to construct the house I couldn't go back 959 01:19:23,639 --> 01:19:29,000 to the to the owner of the house say oh I had to hire an extra guy I got to 960 01:19:26,480 --> 01:19:32,480 charge more that's not how it works okay so I think but the question is you're 961 01:19:30,639 --> 01:19:37,000 what justification to the increase exactly I need to understand I need to 962 01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:40,639 understand what what promps you to come back and say well we had to do work that 963 01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:47,120 we didn't plan on what you should have planned on in your bidding 964 01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:53,760 process uh through you Mr Mayor uh the the bid process for the Els elevated 965 01:19:50,159 --> 01:19:59,000 tank identified um you know design requirements uh uh tendering 966 01:19:56,320 --> 01:20:04,880 requirements and a certain allowance for uh Services during construction uh as uh 967 01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:10,880 Jen has identified through the design phase we were uh somewhat efficient we 968 01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:17,159 were below budget uh and uh you know we're able to complete the design phase 969 01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:22,320 and the tendering phase within uh our budget uh the construction phase is 970 01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:26,719 somewhat uh contingent on the performance the contractor uh and the 971 01:20:25,159 --> 01:20:31,960 amount of time that it takes the contractor to finish the the work in 972 01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:38,520 this particular case and and as outlined in our letter I may I believe it was of 973 01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:42,719 2023 uh there were a number of delays that 974 01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:49,080 uh realistically were beyond the the contractor control there was the uh the 975 01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:54,480 crane operators strike that uh extended the construction period by at least a 976 01:20:50,960 --> 01:21:00,080 month uh then there was uh issues with uh subcontractors doing codings and well 977 01:20:57,760 --> 01:21:07,880 first off the delay because of the the crane operators um strike uh put the 978 01:21:04,679 --> 01:21:13,000 codings uh application into adverse weather conditions so things got delayed 979 01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:16,960 got delayed delayed as a result there was through that delay there was 980 01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:22,360 additional uh engineering effort required to ongoing inspection uh for 981 01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:24,560 for the uh through that construction period 982 01:21:23,199 --> 01:21:31,000 and those are the costs that we're trying to uh you know make sure that 983 01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:35,080 we're you know we're uh compensated and I understand your point 984 01:21:33,199 --> 01:21:38,960 I I do I hear what you said but I guess my my thought is why should the rate 985 01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:42,760 pairs in North Middle sex be penalized for both oversight it's not their 986 01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:52,480 responsibility okay counc 987 01:21:49,719 --> 01:21:55,920 Hern thank you your worship through you um and thank you for the report at the 988 01:21:54,480 --> 01:22:01,320 bottom of page three of the report the last two paragraphs actually outline the 989 01:21:58,199 --> 01:22:06,960 delays and I'm curious uh you've mentioned two there's three here any of 990 01:22:03,239 --> 01:22:12,520 those delays um attributable to uh any actions on the 991 01:22:08,679 --> 01:22:17,080 municipality did we did we uh did we contribute to any of those delays any of 992 01:22:14,719 --> 01:22:21,520 our actions or activities uh through you Mr Mayor uh I 993 01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:28,440 do not believe that there was any actions by the ality that caused the 994 01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:35,639 delay uh you know the the as I indicated the um uh crane operator strike is 995 01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:41,000 something that is you know beyond anybody's control that in in in uh 996 01:22:38,719 --> 01:22:44,920 working on this particular project that that's certainly not something that's 997 01:22:42,440 --> 01:22:50,800 under the contractor's control nor our nor the municipalities control that 998 01:22:48,159 --> 01:22:56,440 you know that delay certainly uh contributed to overall cost over runs at 999 01:22:53,920 --> 01:23:02,760 least on our perspective uh as identified in uh Jaden's report we were 1000 01:22:59,840 --> 01:23:06,920 still able to deliver the uh the construction of the project you know 1001 01:23:05,159 --> 01:23:14,080 efficiently and we are still under the overall project budget great okay follow 1002 01:23:10,199 --> 01:23:18,520 up on my second question the U the uh total of the additional costs is 1003 01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:28,560 $63,800 per of the total are you suggest ing the municipality pick up 100% or is 1004 01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:33,280 that a percentage part of the uh cost overrun is that 100% 50% 1005 01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:44,360 75% uh through you Mr Mayor and I I you know without having all the numbers in 1006 01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:49,400 front of me uh that number would be uh the costs that have been incurred by 1007 01:23:46,239 --> 01:23:54,840 SEMA for uh for the additional construction 1008 01:23:50,480 --> 01:24:00,440 period but do not ref reflect the uh the design budget that was not 1009 01:23:56,960 --> 01:24:03,280 utilized okay councelor Keel you you're good councelor 1010 01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:12,800 Nera so is this the list the list here in your report the list of deficiencies 1011 01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:19,560 are these these six things still have to be completed then Jaden J through the 1012 01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:23,000 mayor um no those aren't the the remaining outstanding deficiencies I 1013 01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:26,920 just wanted to provide some of the main deficiencies that that 1014 01:24:25,239 --> 01:24:33,159 we had been working on just to sort of characterize the general of the 1015 01:24:29,159 --> 01:24:37,800 deficiencies so is there still 60 outstanding or how many are outstanding 1016 01:24:35,639 --> 01:24:42,239 because this has been going on for 16 months and we're still 1017 01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:47,080 not full completion through the mayor there's certainly not 60 outstanding 1018 01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:51,400 deficiencies um I believe that was the the total amount that was addressed and 1019 01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:56,679 then they would be reduced over time um I don't have an exact count of the 1020 01:24:54,040 --> 01:25:05,000 deficiencies um I want to say it's it's in the order of less than 10 um but the 1021 01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:11,920 total value is identified um so there's $7,750 worth of uh remaining deficiency 1022 01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:18,480 work just to follow up why isn't that work being done do we 1023 01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:22,880 know through the mayor um it has been um challenging to I guess 1024 01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:27,719 get the to get the contractor back to site to 1025 01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:32,480 address some of these um the tower is operational so um some of these 1026 01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:37,679 outstanding deficiencies I guess they're just um not being um prioritized quite 1027 01:25:36,199 --> 01:25:42,639 as much as we'd like to see but I'm not sure if steart if you any add about um 1028 01:25:40,719 --> 01:25:47,040 status of deficiencies or why not being addressed uh through you Mr Mayor I do 1029 01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:51,239 know that the the contractor has been attempting to rectify certain 1030 01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:56,000 deficiencies uh some of their equipment suppliers have been to the site to 1031 01:25:53,520 --> 01:26:03,199 address uh a problem with one of the control valves and uh Rod can speak to 1032 01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:08,480 that as well uh they have come with their forces to address it I understand 1033 01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:12,960 that they did some work have left and have not resolved that is so that's why 1034 01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:19,119 those items are remaining on the deficiency list we will make sure that 1035 01:26:15,639 --> 01:26:23,679 those things are corrected before uh the final uh payments are being made to the 1036 01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:30,800 the contractor the end of the the warranty um you know and if need be uh 1037 01:26:27,199 --> 01:26:34,920 we can direct uh that those be corrected by the municipality and the cost 1038 01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:34,920 deducted from 1039 01:26:35,159 --> 01:26:42,400 the okay I think 1040 01:26:39,040 --> 01:26:50,080 so you think so uh okay just to follow up on that so these are landmarkers 1041 01:26:46,199 --> 01:26:56,400 respons to do the repairs at this point for you Mr Mayor yes that is correct and 1042 01:26:52,199 --> 01:27:01,199 so but I am to your point Stuart is um how long do you wait uh it's one thing 1043 01:26:58,400 --> 01:27:06,199 not to have saw put down or grass planted but it's another thing when I 1044 01:27:02,679 --> 01:27:12,000 hear a valve is not what it should be Y and so I'm really at the to me it's like 1045 01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:17,280 let's get it fixed and send them the bill or subtract it from their bill or 1046 01:27:14,440 --> 01:27:21,080 whatever but I'm I agree that we've talked about these deficiencies and I 1047 01:27:19,159 --> 01:27:25,880 know Aqua has been here and I think we ask every time about how they're going 1048 01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:30,719 and it's a tough process and I would like to see I know this a little bit off 1049 01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:36,440 topic but it isn't because we're hiring SEMA to look after that stuff right and 1050 01:27:33,679 --> 01:27:41,320 I guess that's where I'm a little bit I'm a little off on it I understand what 1051 01:27:38,159 --> 01:27:47,040 coun canelon was getting at and because you're you're working for our interests 1052 01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:52,199 and U I'd like to see those deficiencies cleaned up I think that is Absolut as I 1053 01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:56,360 said it's one thing when grass wasn't SE didn't catch or whatever when valves and 1054 01:27:54,719 --> 01:28:00,159 things like that those are certainly important because if something goes 1055 01:27:58,239 --> 01:28:04,960 wrong we're going to go talk to rod and say you know what did you do and if he 1056 01:28:03,199 --> 01:28:10,520 tells us it's a valve that I've been complain or I haven't had fixed you know 1057 01:28:07,719 --> 01:28:14,199 shame on us right so I think with part of this we need to get these 1058 01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:18,400 deficiencies addressed one way or down and and um I know it's your report Jaden 1059 01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:23,639 I don't mean to look just used to it but but that's where I think that's just a 1060 01:28:20,119 --> 01:28:29,719 comment a followup to coun ner counc ke youe thank you Mayor Rob yeah actually 1061 01:28:26,639 --> 01:28:36,560 it's just a comment and uh and I think all members of council Council are 1062 01:28:33,159 --> 01:28:42,600 kind of the same thought that um it's a little Brash to come and want more money 1063 01:28:39,639 --> 01:28:51,320 nothing repaired nothing resolved and then our next uh topic 1064 01:28:47,320 --> 01:28:57,480 is another contract U yeah let's let's stay on this one 1065 01:28:53,920 --> 01:29:01,920 it's the point I'm trying perhaps maybe there's there's a certain level of 1066 01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:08,000 lightess but I guess I just getting to it is it's Brash to come want more it's 1067 01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:14,080 not what's it going to take through you Mr May the the budget 1068 01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:19,920 estimate that we provided back in May was to take the our component of the 1069 01:29:16,639 --> 01:29:22,440 project to completion so everything that would be required through the the 1070 01:29:21,639 --> 01:29:27,080 remaining remainder of the of the warranty period 1071 01:29:25,239 --> 01:29:32,760 so ensuring that all the deficiencies are corrected uh completing the uh 1072 01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:36,440 two-year warranty inspection making sure that you know if there are any defects 1073 01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:41,119 that are found at the the two-year warranty inspection are addressed doing 1074 01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:47,280 those inspections that would be included within that U uh additional fund request 1075 01:29:45,440 --> 01:29:54,760 that's Within These that's in the scope of these parts okay thank 1076 01:29:50,360 --> 01:29:59,920 you okay counc Q councelor D what 1077 01:29:57,320 --> 01:30:05,280 happens if we get to October these things aren't 1078 01:30:01,360 --> 01:30:09,639 done and so we build them or have to have it done and it costs more than the 1079 01:30:07,760 --> 01:30:15,760 money we have left so I think that's addressed to you Jaden I I would think 1080 01:30:12,280 --> 01:30:19,760 that's coming to what through the mayor I mean that's a 1081 01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:23,840 bit of a contractual like wonder if Stuart might have more expertise with 1082 01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:23,840 that 1083 01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:35,320 I through you Mr Mayor the under the contract we have certain money set aside 1084 01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:38,280 for deficiencies and uncompleted work but in addition to that we have a 1085 01:30:36,760 --> 01:30:42,719 substantial amount of money that's held back as warranty hold back so anything 1086 01:30:40,480 --> 01:30:48,880 that is identified at the end of the warranty and you know immediately prior 1087 01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:53,000 to full completion of the project uh if there are Works to be done we have those 1088 01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:56,960 funds available I don't recall the number uh or the value of the 1089 01:30:55,520 --> 01:31:02,719 maintenance hold back off the top of my head but it would be well in excess of 1090 01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:07,719 $100,000 that we' still holding on on the contractor 1091 01:31:05,239 --> 01:31:11,560 on my fear would be if we get into valving and issues like that it come to 1092 01:31:12,639 --> 01:31:19,840 $100,000 okay Irwin just a final comment you 1093 01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:25,040 worship which may or may not be addressed goes back to my original two 1094 01:31:22,639 --> 01:31:31,040 questions one is none of the cost overrun can be contributed to anything 1095 01:31:27,360 --> 01:31:38,239 the municipality did and secondly 100% of the cost overrun in terms of 1096 01:31:34,239 --> 01:31:41,159 fees are being asked by us to pay and I find that rather 1097 01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:48,639 unfair okay that's more of a comment you're not 1098 01:31:47,480 --> 01:31:52,760 really looking for an answer to that that's a comment 1099 01:31:50,760 --> 01:31:57,639 me are you question I'll leave it up to 1100 01:31:55,320 --> 01:32:05,440 whomever want are you putting a question in that was a question pretend there's a 1101 01:32:00,239 --> 01:32:05,440 question mark at the end that is a 1102 01:32:06,040 --> 01:32:14,080 St through you Mr Mayor I I certainly do understand uh you know the the 1103 01:32:11,199 --> 01:32:19,239 perception of um you know we submitted a bid um and you know we should be 1104 01:32:16,880 --> 01:32:23,239 complying with the bid however you know the during 1105 01:32:20,440 --> 01:32:27,040 construction uh the amount of effort that uh as the engineering consultant 1106 01:32:25,199 --> 01:32:35,199 that we have to provide is is somewhat unknown um that 1107 01:32:32,080 --> 01:32:39,600 we you know on a typical project we will uh you know incur certain costs incur a 1108 01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:45,040 certain amount of effort through the construction period uh however 1109 01:32:43,159 --> 01:32:49,520 performance of the contractor uh certainly has an influence on it 1110 01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:54,480 duration of the contract certainly has an influence on it we needed we need to 1111 01:32:52,080 --> 01:33:01,360 provide inspection during the active construction period and you know the the 1112 01:32:58,840 --> 01:33:06,920 efficiency of the contractor addressing defects and achieving final completion 1113 01:33:03,920 --> 01:33:12,760 of the contract certainly impacts the level of effort we are required to 1114 01:33:09,679 --> 01:33:19,239 provide you know throughout uh the you know this period uh no this will 1115 01:33:16,480 --> 01:33:23,520 probably not sound the best we have put as much effort in as we reasonably can 1116 01:33:21,719 --> 01:33:28,800 to make sure that the contractor is addressing all the works and all the uh 1117 01:33:26,679 --> 01:33:34,360 the outstanding works but certainly you know if uh if 1118 01:33:32,360 --> 01:33:41,520 there is non-performance there are steps we can take we have not taken those yet 1119 01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:47,639 to uh Force the contractor to to jump uh but uh based on your comments Mr Mayor 1120 01:33:44,520 --> 01:33:53,880 uh I think we have our direction to uh uh force uh Landmark to move forward 1121 01:33:50,639 --> 01:33:59,719 quickly especially on that the Val isue yeah thank you that's that absolutely is 1122 01:33:56,480 --> 01:34:05,280 the case because I do believe we ask uh Aqua every time they come in are the 1123 01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:12,199 deficiencies being addressed and I know I believe the answer was it's a process 1124 01:34:08,159 --> 01:34:15,520 to me that's that's a wait go ahead councel nerd I just have a followup to 1125 01:34:13,679 --> 01:34:19,760 that so again we've been waiting 16 months how much longer are we going to 1126 01:34:20,480 --> 01:34:29,159 wait through you Mr Mayor uh we will we will provide instructions to to Landmark 1127 01:34:26,560 --> 01:34:35,280 to have that work completed within within a week if they are unable to give 1128 01:34:31,199 --> 01:34:40,280 us a a clear answer or or let me rephrase that have the work completed 1129 01:34:37,639 --> 01:34:44,960 within a week or submit a uh a schedu an acceptable schedule to North Middle sex 1130 01:34:42,600 --> 01:34:49,719 within a week and if that's not done then we are free to move forward and 1131 01:34:47,560 --> 01:34:56,880 have the repairs done on landmark's behalf thank you and I think having a 1132 01:34:52,840 --> 01:35:02,520 schedule given is is a fair to say that have it all done in a 1133 01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:07,000 week yeah the schedule of time any other questions on 1134 01:35:04,119 --> 01:35:11,960 this you're better now okay oh you better not I thought you 1135 01:35:09,280 --> 01:35:14,639 said you're better now so okay any other questions any other comments we have a 1136 01:35:13,440 --> 01:35:17,159 recommendation in front of you what is the way of 1137 01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:23,400 coun 1138 01:35:23,719 --> 01:35:36,639 I would maybe agree to it when it's complete when it's this increase so 1139 01:35:31,719 --> 01:35:36,639 63,000 rise contract price 1140 01:35:36,719 --> 01:35:44,520 $444,000 so you're so let me get the motion that you're making that you're 1141 01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:50,400 saying you agreeing to the motion with the deficiencies uh looked after is that 1142 01:35:47,280 --> 01:35:54,760 what you're saying I'm trying to get to increase when the deficiencies are 1143 01:35:52,440 --> 01:35:54,760 looked 1144 01:35:56,679 --> 01:36:05,199 after yeah that is deferring that's what you're saying till the correct sorry is 1145 01:36:02,840 --> 01:36:10,360 there that's what I wanted to just get is there a seconder on 1146 01:36:07,800 --> 01:36:16,360 that Council yes Deputy Mayor hodgin okay in 1147 01:36:14,560 --> 01:36:21,440 favor of that motion okay yeah go ahead if I may mar I 1148 01:36:19,400 --> 01:36:25,440 have a question so is your motion then we pay the full amount requested when 1149 01:36:22,880 --> 01:36:31,239 the deficiencies are completed or that the the amount owing or what we're going 1150 01:36:27,159 --> 01:36:31,239 to subsidize is open for 1151 01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:43,760 negotiation my motion is agreed to the $63,000 increase upon full completion of 1152 01:36:41,480 --> 01:36:48,159 the defic of the deficiencies this way it's SEC Cur front of the 1153 01:36:45,360 --> 01:36:52,520 nose to get it done and and I think I heard steuart 1154 01:36:51,280 --> 01:36:57,480 allude or make a comment that they're going to hold Landmark accountable for 1155 01:36:54,080 --> 01:37:03,880 some of this is that did I hear that yes he's going the deficiencies 1156 01:37:00,320 --> 01:37:08,320 SEMA is going to contact Landmark to get a schedule within a week to get a 1157 01:37:05,480 --> 01:37:12,040 schedule for completion deficiencies and the steart going to go after Landmark 1158 01:37:10,239 --> 01:37:17,320 for some of the costs associated with those deficiencies and the delays that's 1159 01:37:14,480 --> 01:37:22,360 a question we'd ask uh through you Mr Mayor 1160 01:37:19,360 --> 01:37:27,920 um under the under the contract the delays would be beyond the contractor's 1161 01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:35,480 control uh and because of that there was an extension to the contract the and as 1162 01:37:31,440 --> 01:37:40,360 such uh liquidated damages for late the completion would not be applicable there 1163 01:37:37,639 --> 01:37:44,840 is no mechanism to go after Landmark for additional engineering 1164 01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:49,800 costs and and how was that negotiated like who agreed to extend the contract 1165 01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:53,960 time that was agreed to through the construction period sorry 1166 01:37:51,800 --> 01:37:59,040 no go ahead go ahead okay was Miss P agree to 1167 01:37:59,280 --> 01:38:04,679 that through the mayor I think that I don't have that information right handy 1168 01:38:03,159 --> 01:38:10,000 I think that was before me but I think if it was related to the as Stewart said 1169 01:38:06,440 --> 01:38:15,040 you know the cray strike and um as per the general conditions since acts like 1170 01:38:12,679 --> 01:38:18,719 that they're permitted for contract extensions okay 1171 01:38:20,119 --> 01:38:23,119 okay 1172 01:38:28,159 --> 01:38:36,480 correct yeah the motion is deferral to but to pay the to pay the request upon 1173 01:38:33,760 --> 01:38:43,040 comp successful completion of office yeah yes go 1174 01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:48,639 ahead okay do you Mr Mayor bear with me here please me if I interpreted but the 1175 01:38:47,159 --> 01:38:52,560 motion would be then that Council received this report for information and 1176 01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:57,000 that Council increased the budget for the contract administrating Services 1177 01:38:55,239 --> 01:39:02,560 contract with SEMA Plus Engineering for the LC Craig Water Tower project by $ 1178 01:39:03,320 --> 01:39:13,239 63,64 for a revised total contract price of 40 1179 01:39:10,239 --> 01:39:13,239 444,000 1180 01:39:20,040 --> 01:39:27,840 448741166 one more not no late charges and no interest on that hold 1181 01:39:28,239 --> 01:39:36,960 back no okay so we have that motion we have a second is there any more comment 1182 01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:36,960 on none in 1183 01:39:37,520 --> 01:39:45,280 favor in favor of that two 1184 01:39:42,239 --> 01:39:50,040 three four oppos to that 1185 01:39:47,280 --> 01:39:55,480 two it is passed 1186 01:39:51,960 --> 01:40:01,000 okay thanks sir one one comment I will make to that project that was a good 1187 01:39:58,280 --> 01:40:05,520 project it's a it's a good infrastructure in our community I do 1188 01:40:02,520 --> 01:40:10,239 want to make that com that uh to that uh we do have I have been complaining about 1189 01:40:07,199 --> 01:40:14,119 the deficiencies because I'm you know they need to be completed but it's a 1190 01:40:12,119 --> 01:40:19,159 good piece of infrastructure and so I just want to make comment that okay we 1191 01:40:16,599 --> 01:40:26,920 do have uh we have you doing your second report as well and that is for 5.8 that 1192 01:40:23,520 --> 01:40:34,760 is for the Park Hill Main Street cost increases Jaden okay thank you Mr Mayor 1193 01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:39,800 and through you um so the purpose of this report is um to request Council to 1194 01:40:37,840 --> 01:40:43,520 approve the engineering budget for the Park Hill Main Street construction 1195 01:40:41,320 --> 01:40:46,000 project um to approve increasing that budget by 1196 01:40:46,960 --> 01:40:52,920 9,545 for a revised total contract price of 63100 1197 01:40:53,639 --> 01:41:00,320 38150 um our engineering consultant see a plus provided their justification the 1198 01:40:57,800 --> 01:41:04,960 cost increase in the letter which is attached to the 1199 01:41:01,360 --> 01:41:10,599 report and to summarize the reasons they are um delayed project startup resulting 1200 01:41:09,119 --> 01:41:15,840 in significant changes to the staging and progress of the work a significant 1201 01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:19,520 number of unforeseen utility conflicts deficient granular road base 1202 01:41:18,360 --> 01:41:24,560 required to be replaced uh very high level of effort 1203 01:41:21,960 --> 01:41:28,239 required to deal with Excuse me combative nature of the 1204 01:41:26,239 --> 01:41:32,520 contractor um two inspectors were inquired were required due to the 1205 01:41:30,840 --> 01:41:37,000 revised construction staging um and then the last one was 1206 01:41:35,480 --> 01:41:41,719 material and compaction testing not included in the original budget 1207 01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:47,360 estimate um so in accordance with the municipality's procurement policy 1208 01:41:43,639 --> 01:41:51,400 Council approval is required for capital expenditures which exceed the budget by 1209 01:41:50,080 --> 01:41:55,560 more than 25 ,000 um and also just for council's 1210 01:41:54,280 --> 01:42:00,520 reference included in the background of the report is just the uh reference to 1211 01:41:57,599 --> 01:42:05,599 the previous reports for the um the award of the engineering uh contracts 1212 01:42:03,639 --> 01:42:11,639 and the award of the construction and the contract Administration contract and 1213 01:42:07,880 --> 01:42:15,880 a previous report um where there was a um an increase to the Construction 1214 01:42:13,840 --> 01:42:19,760 contract price with prex instruction council's 1215 01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:26,280 reference I'll open it up for questions 1216 01:42:22,639 --> 01:42:26,280 who wants to start questions on 1217 01:42:26,360 --> 01:42:35,320 that I I'll start um since I don't see anybody's hand up right now Stuart in 1218 01:42:32,520 --> 01:42:42,320 that is about two inspectors or two inspectors on site does that include 1219 01:42:39,560 --> 01:42:46,199 having you hired someone to help carry the 1220 01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:52,800 project and so does that does that include that being the second 1221 01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:58,480 person uh Mr May no the we did have two physical inspectors we had hary matharu 1222 01:42:55,920 --> 01:43:03,719 and arpet Patel providing Inspection Services in addition to Alisa vby 1223 01:43:01,280 --> 01:43:10,880 providing contct Administration Services okay so and I will ask this 1224 01:43:07,760 --> 01:43:14,119 because you brought in you brought her in to help with the 1225 01:43:14,599 --> 01:43:21,280 project we shouldn't be responsible to have to pay for that part of the you 1226 01:43:20,360 --> 01:43:26,840 know um she was brought in to to or to look 1227 01:43:24,119 --> 01:43:30,800 after to head that project uh not in the beginning she was brought in partway 1228 01:43:28,159 --> 01:43:37,639 through and to her credit this is not a knock on anyone um the work that she did 1229 01:43:34,719 --> 01:43:42,719 but could is part of this because you had to bring her in to help with the 1230 01:43:39,159 --> 01:43:48,800 project because of the extra cost and I struggle with us bearing the brunt of if 1231 01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:48,800 that's the case so I guess 1232 01:43:49,679 --> 01:44:01,119 so certainly um um Mr Mayor certainly you know we did uh pay a higher rate for 1233 01:43:57,719 --> 01:44:05,280 leasa services that we would have uh with uh with the contract administrator 1234 01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:12,440 we had originally anticipated uh carrying going forward uh 1235 01:44:08,800 --> 01:44:18,159 however the original proposal uh assumed uh uh a fair amount of senior oversight 1236 01:44:15,719 --> 01:44:24,960 on the contract administrator that would have also been included within our fees 1237 01:44:21,159 --> 01:44:30,679 that uh through negotiations with uh uh with Jaden I agreed that our senior 1238 01:44:28,199 --> 01:44:35,840 oversight would not be built to North Middle 1239 01:44:32,679 --> 01:44:40,599 so maybe not dollar for dollar but uh you know Lisa's cost would have been 1240 01:44:38,040 --> 01:44:46,800 built to North Middle sex the senior oversight uh that was provided to Lisa 1241 01:44:44,159 --> 01:44:51,080 was not built in North me we've absorbed that internally okay that's that's one 1242 01:44:49,480 --> 01:44:56,560 part the other part before I turn it over to council is all these extra 1243 01:44:53,520 --> 01:45:01,719 billing has to do with the time it took the overruns and time all this stuff and 1244 01:44:59,400 --> 01:45:07,239 and that's as you know the other side I'm really struggling with because there 1245 01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:11,199 was five weeks where I saw two guys with a rake there at that other end and 1246 01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:17,719 otherwise nothing happened and then we keep hearing from uh from everyone that 1247 01:45:15,599 --> 01:45:24,239 delays delays delays and everybody seems to be blaming everybody but the 1248 01:45:20,840 --> 01:45:28,840 taxpayers here are are the ones getting the brunt of this and 1249 01:45:25,880 --> 01:45:34,280 so that five weeks I look at you know the rush to get asheva done all these 1250 01:45:31,560 --> 01:45:39,639 things and how quick the sidewalk got done once they did it it seemed to take 1251 01:45:36,599 --> 01:45:43,760 no time but we struggle for all that time I I would even say almost two 1252 01:45:41,360 --> 01:45:49,920 months where not much was accomplished and yet we are on the hook for all this 1253 01:45:45,960 --> 01:45:54,040 time I'm so I I gotta say I'm personally pretty angry about this whole that part 1254 01:45:51,880 --> 01:45:59,360 of the project I mean I look on Main Street I like it I'm not happy it took 1255 01:45:56,679 --> 01:46:04,159 this long to get a light fixed but that part and that extra cost and 1256 01:46:02,800 --> 01:46:10,599 it's coming from everywhere all these extra costs and none of it was on North 1257 01:46:07,280 --> 01:46:16,599 Middle SE that I know of unless you can CH change my thinking that 1258 01:46:13,880 --> 01:46:23,560 way um Mr Mayor um I I can't disagree with you um you 1259 01:46:20,159 --> 01:46:29,000 know the that five six week delay where the the contractor was off site and 1260 01:46:25,880 --> 01:46:36,760 refused to Pro progress the work at any time uh was frustrating to all of us um 1261 01:46:32,920 --> 01:46:41,840 you know we were constantly on on bra to proceed with work there was no reason 1262 01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:50,560 that they could not proceed with work uh that we are actually aware of um and as 1263 01:46:47,440 --> 01:46:54,560 as you say once they came back to you know proceed with the sidewalk work they 1264 01:46:52,679 --> 01:46:58,960 were able to to get that completed very quickly there's no reason that that 1265 01:46:56,719 --> 01:47:04,800 couldn't have been done at that time to just to one additional point in 1266 01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:09,800 there during that period of that that five or six weeks there would have been 1267 01:47:07,520 --> 01:47:14,159 costs for the contract Administration related to meeting with the contractor 1268 01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:17,840 pushing on the contractor however our inspectors were not on site and there 1269 01:47:16,480 --> 01:47:23,119 there would be no charges for the inspection during that period 1270 01:47:21,199 --> 01:47:27,239 okay um and that doesn't even count about how much and I'll leave it after 1271 01:47:25,480 --> 01:47:31,719 this I'll I'll turn over to council about how 1272 01:47:28,440 --> 01:47:40,320 much staff North Middle sex staff time was eaten up because of all this extra 1273 01:47:35,400 --> 01:47:45,040 time and uh and energy that was wasted I will say for that time like there's 1274 01:47:43,080 --> 01:47:49,360 there's quite a there's a lot of stuff that weren't able to be done because 1275 01:47:46,840 --> 01:47:53,800 focusing on on different things that we shouldn't have had to f up because 1276 01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:57,840 that's why we hire SEMA to look after it right but it just seemed that we had a 1277 01:47:55,480 --> 01:48:01,280 lot of Staff doing a lot of work on as well I'll leave it at that because I 1278 01:47:59,880 --> 01:48:07,000 don't think there's an answer for it I better let it go um councilor Irwin you 1279 01:48:04,560 --> 01:48:11,480 had your hand up thank you worship two points for for clarification the first 1280 01:48:09,440 --> 01:48:16,280 point is the additional cost outlined here is 1281 01:48:12,320 --> 01:48:22,239 $195 45 and 50 cents and this is a shared project with the county is that 1282 01:48:18,599 --> 01:48:22,239 additional cost all for North Middle 1283 01:48:22,760 --> 01:48:31,040 SE K mayor there is a there is cost sharing there with the county um for 1284 01:48:28,480 --> 01:48:35,840 these additional costs as well as um overall for the project 1285 01:48:33,679 --> 01:48:40,920 costs just just to clarify that point you worship so is this our portion of 1286 01:48:38,280 --> 01:48:45,800 the additional cost or would this part of this be shared with the county I'm 1287 01:48:42,880 --> 01:48:52,800 not clear through the mayor part of that will be shared the county the exact 1288 01:48:48,360 --> 01:48:57,639 portion of it I can't say right now um but the part of that is their cost this 1289 01:48:55,520 --> 01:49:02,719 includes the county portion as well right through the mayor yes it's 1290 01:49:00,719 --> 01:49:07,280 still all the same taxpayers I'm now your worship that rais 1291 01:49:05,679 --> 01:49:12,320 additional question before I ask my second one um has this been presented to 1292 01:49:10,040 --> 01:49:18,480 the county yet through the mayor um we we're 1293 01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:25,480 keeping in close communication with the county um so they they participate in 1294 01:49:21,440 --> 01:49:30,679 our our regular meetings um so with respect to this um piece of additional 1295 01:49:28,480 --> 01:49:35,679 cost I'm not sure if uh if we have shared that with them but we are in 1296 01:49:32,119 --> 01:49:39,599 regular communication and uh so they'll be 1297 01:49:36,520 --> 01:49:42,280 aware do you have a second question yes well I several more but I'll just ask 1298 01:49:41,040 --> 01:49:47,560 the second when I originally had your worship and maybe I'll come back if the 1299 01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:52,520 rest of the council doesn't ask um in terms of of identifying the 1300 01:49:51,000 --> 01:49:57,639 contractor um um assessing their ability to do the 1301 01:49:55,679 --> 01:50:02,280 work and and and then finally awarding the contract to the company was SEMA 1302 01:50:00,360 --> 01:50:07,159 communication was SEMA communication sorry was SEMA involved in any of those 1303 01:50:04,800 --> 01:50:13,960 in activities uh through you uh Mr Mayor um 1304 01:50:11,360 --> 01:50:18,760 for the tender process for the the Park Hill Main Street waterm project um North 1305 01:50:17,440 --> 01:50:25,040 midle sex went through a pre-qualification process 1306 01:50:20,960 --> 01:50:33,400 to uh pre-qualify you know competent contractors um the successful contractor 1307 01:50:29,159 --> 01:50:38,800 certainly presented uh you know very good information uh within the 1308 01:50:35,239 --> 01:50:45,280 pre-qualification documents um North Middle sex staff did a uh reference 1309 01:50:42,880 --> 01:50:52,520 check on the contractors and received very positive references from for that 1310 01:50:47,960 --> 01:50:58,760 particular contract um our contractor uh I'm not certain where those references 1311 01:50:54,760 --> 01:51:03,880 came from um certainly not seen I I just I do want to say here that 1312 01:51:02,360 --> 01:51:08,360 I don't want to go down a road that we shouldn't go that we shouldn't go down 1313 01:51:05,800 --> 01:51:13,440 and they certainly showed the capable capable of doing the work that's that's 1314 01:51:10,920 --> 01:51:16,040 not the issue so I I don't want to make it look like we got you know I don't 1315 01:51:15,400 --> 01:51:21,639 want to badmouth any contracts or anybody go 1316 01:51:19,320 --> 01:51:26,239 ahead you only asked that question because I heard in the Preamble that um 1317 01:51:24,800 --> 01:51:33,280 part of the reason for the additional cost is competitive the the the nature 1318 01:51:30,239 --> 01:51:40,320 of the contract um they were not easy to so I just want to understand if SEMA had 1319 01:51:36,040 --> 01:51:45,760 any part in in assessing or helping us um award to that contract so I I can 1320 01:51:44,040 --> 01:51:50,520 answer that question I think the only way we can and that is that SEMA brought 1321 01:51:48,480 --> 01:51:55,400 a recommendation after getting all all the tender process 1322 01:51:52,599 --> 01:52:00,440 sea SEMA brought a recommendation to council uh for that company to do the 1323 01:51:58,079 --> 01:52:05,800 work and Council approv that and and uh that's we'll let it go 1324 01:52:03,679 --> 01:52:11,840 with that I mean it's okay through you Mr Mayor I if I can yes 1325 01:52:10,159 --> 01:52:16,800 following uh completion of the pre-qualification uh process uh we ended 1326 01:52:14,280 --> 01:52:21,239 up I believe with four or five pre-qualified contractors each one of 1327 01:52:18,880 --> 01:52:27,880 those contractors was invited to submit a a detailed Bid And The Selection uh 1328 01:52:25,280 --> 01:52:34,440 essentially once we were passed the pre-qualification the uh or contractor 1329 01:52:31,840 --> 01:52:38,960 selection was basically based on price or they may have been disqualified if 1330 01:52:36,840 --> 01:52:44,840 there is irregularities or informalities within the bid uh unfortunately or in 1331 01:52:42,440 --> 01:52:51,239 this case there wasn't any so there was uh you know we select based on 1332 01:52:47,280 --> 01:52:55,960 loc okay coun Nera this last 1333 01:52:52,320 --> 01:52:58,960 119,000 is this the last payment is this the last amount of money that you're 1334 01:52:57,320 --> 01:53:03,199 going to be asking for an increase there any more I guess my 1335 01:53:01,159 --> 01:53:08,520 question is is there any more cost going forward or will this be the last time 1336 01:53:05,360 --> 01:53:16,719 you come to C asking for more uh through you Mr Mayor um uh assuming that uh the 1337 01:53:13,920 --> 01:53:20,560 pro or the contractor proceeds finishes their uh or corrects any deficiencies 1338 01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:25,480 outstanding works in a reasonable schedule that would be 1339 01:53:22,800 --> 01:53:32,679 it unfortunately uh at this point in time we do have a a claim that is in 1340 01:53:29,400 --> 01:53:38,119 negotiation with North mle sex and there is you know I'm not sure where that's 1341 01:53:35,199 --> 01:53:45,079 going to go uh so I'm not going to commit that this amount would cover our 1342 01:53:41,760 --> 01:53:45,079 assistance in the claim 1343 01:53:45,320 --> 01:53:53,560 negotiations and that's something another so yeah that that I'm assuming 1344 01:53:49,520 --> 01:53:55,800 is would not be here any other questions on 1345 01:53:56,320 --> 01:54:03,040 this no other questions we have a recommendation we have a recommendation 1346 01:54:01,880 --> 01:54:07,280 in front of us and is that Council increase the 1347 01:54:05,320 --> 01:54:11,639 budget for the contract Administration Services contract with SEMA engineering 1348 01:54:10,199 --> 01:54:15,520 for the Park Hill ban Street construction project by 1349 01:54:13,870 --> 01:54:22,159 [Music] 9,545 for revised total contract price 1350 01:54:18,719 --> 01:54:22,159 of 631 , 1351 01:54:24,719 --> 01:54:31,760 38150 this this is for services rendered you have 1352 01:54:29,239 --> 01:54:37,320 to how can we vote for that if we don't know if we're paying what percentage of 1353 01:54:34,960 --> 01:54:43,440 119,000 how can how can we vote for this motion I have no idea if it's 118,000 1354 01:54:41,280 --> 01:54:48,320 we're paying or 50,000 we're paying or whatever number it is until I have an 1355 01:54:45,520 --> 01:54:48,320 actual number I 1356 01:54:48,679 --> 01:54:56,480 can't so that's on the whole project though we you know we're paying for the 1357 01:54:54,719 --> 01:55:02,119 whole project and then it's being built to County as a a third party we're 1358 01:54:59,480 --> 01:55:07,079 looking after the project like we're we're uh in charge of this project the 1359 01:55:04,239 --> 01:55:11,800 county let North Middle sex do this project so that will be figured out 1360 01:55:10,119 --> 01:55:17,079 after the fact but this is all part of the cost and so I'm not sure where we 1361 01:55:15,239 --> 01:55:21,880 could go with that comment made I'm not sure where we could Jaden 1362 01:55:20,560 --> 01:55:29,239 thanks Mr Mayor just through you to maybe provide some um some clarification 1363 01:55:25,159 --> 01:55:32,000 on that um so the county is committed certainly to paying their share their 1364 01:55:30,679 --> 01:55:36,800 share and we have a close working relationship with them we have met with 1365 01:55:34,119 --> 01:55:42,119 them to go through the cost sharing um unfortunately that wasn't something that 1366 01:55:38,599 --> 01:55:45,440 was um established prior to construction which um you know would have been would 1367 01:55:43,840 --> 01:55:50,159 have been good but we basically go through the contract line items um line 1368 01:55:47,920 --> 01:55:54,639 by line and agree on who who's paying for what um generally their scope is 1369 01:55:52,599 --> 01:56:01,960 contained to the the roadway from the curbs in and um the road reconstruction 1370 01:55:58,199 --> 01:56:06,599 that we had to do so um it it would be a bit of a dynamic number with um what 1371 01:56:04,440 --> 01:56:12,360 their portion of this would be because our expectation would be that once we do 1372 01:56:08,960 --> 01:56:18,239 that line by line um analysis to figure out what their portion is that would 1373 01:56:14,719 --> 01:56:22,760 establish a percentage and then their percentage share they would pay that 1374 01:56:20,520 --> 01:56:28,679 same percentage this cost overrun and just to give the counselor um some I 1375 01:56:26,599 --> 01:56:36,239 guess Direction on what that um number would be it's less than half it's I 1376 01:56:32,119 --> 01:56:39,560 would say it's around 15 to 30% would be the County's share 1377 01:56:44,400 --> 01:56:50,840 approximately sorry Council canelon then Deputy Mayor thank you Mayor Rob Jaden 1378 01:56:48,840 --> 01:56:54,880 wasn't a good deal of this cost run due to the uh the the road work that needed 1379 01:56:53,239 --> 01:56:58,920 to be done to increase the base of the road that it could hold the pavment the 1380 01:56:56,760 --> 01:56:58,920 new 1381 01:57:00,560 --> 01:57:08,280 pavment through the mayor this this cost increases strictly for for sema's um 1382 01:57:06,760 --> 01:57:12,719 extra work and effort on the project it'd be hard to determine how much that 1383 01:57:10,159 --> 01:57:17,760 is certainly the road reconstruction piece of work did take quite a bit of 1384 01:57:14,960 --> 01:57:22,119 time um there was an Associated contract extension um and we could get into the 1385 01:57:19,840 --> 01:57:26,960 details with that but um certainly the county is committed to to you know 1386 01:57:24,320 --> 01:57:30,480 working up the details with us um on the what that cost sharing is well I'm kind 1387 01:57:29,000 --> 01:57:34,119 of with councel on this one because until we know what that is because if 1388 01:57:32,360 --> 01:57:37,400 this if the cost overrun is significantly because of the road 1389 01:57:35,560 --> 01:57:40,079 reconstruction that's on the county it's not on us 1390 01:57:40,880 --> 01:57:51,719 right through the mayor um this the cost of overrun from SEMA um it's uh 1391 01:57:49,400 --> 01:57:56,239 certainly not I wouldn't say that the the road reconstruction portion is 1392 01:57:53,239 --> 01:57:59,599 really what's what's driving this um mostly like it's a there's a lot of 1393 01:57:58,159 --> 01:58:04,400 factors to it it's just the overall construction project I'm not sure 1394 01:58:01,599 --> 01:58:04,400 steuart G any 1395 01:58:05,320 --> 01:58:13,360 that uh through you Mr Mayor I guess just where where do you begin with 1396 01:58:11,920 --> 01:58:18,199 this particular project when when when when the when the 1397 01:58:16,599 --> 01:58:23,159 project was originally tendered and envisioned uh uh we had previously held 1398 01:58:21,440 --> 01:58:29,280 a public meeting with the the business owners along Park Hill Main Street and 1399 01:58:26,239 --> 01:58:35,040 the direction that was given to staff and to to SEMA was to attempt to get 1400 01:58:32,719 --> 01:58:40,840 this project done through the winter period so that Park Hill Main Street was 1401 01:58:37,599 --> 01:58:46,560 opened through July and August uh for the summer season for vehicles driving 1402 01:58:43,360 --> 01:58:52,239 to Grand vent so the the The Works were tendered with a an anticipated start in 1403 01:58:50,440 --> 01:58:58,040 and I don't recall the exact dat but I believe it was August uh so the notice 1404 01:58:55,000 --> 01:59:05,840 of award went out in time but unfortunately due to uh supply chain 1405 01:59:02,199 --> 01:59:10,360 issues and difficulty with uh your Ontario one call and obtaining locates 1406 01:59:08,520 --> 01:59:15,800 contractor wasn't able to commence work until I believe it was in November if I 1407 01:59:13,520 --> 01:59:23,920 if I recall correctly regardless because of that um 1408 01:59:20,040 --> 01:59:28,119 the the works could not be uh prosecuted as was originally anticipated the 1409 01:59:26,199 --> 01:59:34,440 contract was originally set up so the works would be commenced at the North 1410 01:59:30,079 --> 01:59:41,880 End of uh of the of Park Hill coming southernly to uh I believe just was it 1411 01:59:38,520 --> 01:59:46,880 past uh M Street M and Hastings thereabouts and then completing uh full 1412 01:59:44,960 --> 01:59:52,119 restoration of that to binder course ashal then moving to the South from 1413 01:59:49,480 --> 01:59:56,159 there down to Broadway do the same thing and then or sorry I guess the first one 1414 01:59:54,119 --> 02:00:02,040 was to Broadway second stage was from Broadway to Al Elgen Field Road last 1415 01:59:59,239 --> 02:00:06,800 stage being the small portion on Elliot drive so that that was the original 1416 02:00:04,199 --> 02:00:11,679 setup but because of the late start weather 1417 02:00:08,159 --> 02:00:16,639 conditions and the in uh uh desire to keep the the project moving and trying 1418 02:00:13,560 --> 02:00:20,280 to get the the project complete for the the businesses on Park Hill Main Street 1419 02:00:18,599 --> 02:00:27,679 by July uh we uh the decision was made to permit 1420 02:00:24,520 --> 02:00:33,280 the contractor to alter the staging and ended up uh going all the way 1421 02:00:30,280 --> 02:00:39,400 through very shortly on after the after that decision was made we ran into some 1422 02:00:36,199 --> 02:00:44,920 uh Municipal drains that were uh unknown to ourselves unknown so they weren't 1423 02:00:42,639 --> 02:00:49,599 shown on the contract drawings so there was a lot of effort uh spent in 1424 02:00:47,000 --> 02:00:54,560 investigating those drains uh a lot of effort dealing with a contractor and how 1425 02:00:52,079 --> 02:00:59,119 we work around you know all of that just 1426 02:00:56,960 --> 02:01:02,360 contributed to additional delays and additional effort certainly effort on 1427 02:01:01,000 --> 02:01:09,440 our part but with with those changes we also 1428 02:01:06,599 --> 02:01:14,159 then allowed the contractor to work on phase three while they're working on 1429 02:01:11,199 --> 02:01:18,679 parts of phase one and that drove the need to have two inspectors on the site 1430 02:01:16,599 --> 02:01:23,639 because I couldn't have one guy looking after both ends of the job at the same 1431 02:01:20,760 --> 02:01:30,639 time so the decisions were made through the construction phase that drove 1432 02:01:26,119 --> 02:01:35,320 additional costs at least for us so you know it it was decisions made the best 1433 02:01:33,800 --> 02:01:41,920 based on the best information we had at the time uh and with the desire to get 1434 02:01:39,480 --> 02:01:45,480 this job done as quickly as possible just as a followup to that given your 1435 02:01:43,840 --> 02:01:50,040 significant experience in bidding these type of projects is that not to be 1436 02:01:48,040 --> 02:01:53,320 expected the unknown concy that that you may encounter is that not to be 1437 02:01:53,480 --> 02:02:02,639 expected there are there yeah and there there are allowances within the contract 1438 02:01:58,520 --> 02:02:08,199 for certain unknowns you know that you know we do include uh provisional items 1439 02:02:05,760 --> 02:02:12,320 within the contract force or you know have pricing for things that are 1440 02:02:10,679 --> 02:02:20,360 unexpected um I would have to say that what we 1441 02:02:15,480 --> 02:02:25,639 encountered down Main Street was Beyond just about everything that I have 1442 02:02:22,800 --> 02:02:31,560 on a road Recon type job my final question and th $119,000 as 1443 02:02:29,880 --> 02:02:37,000 you asked what are you willing to settle for what are you willing to 1444 02:02:34,760 --> 02:02:42,440 negotiate I'm I'm not prepared to answer that question 1445 02:02:39,119 --> 02:02:47,239 here Deputy Mayor hin s your hand up please um all that conversation kind of 1446 02:02:45,840 --> 02:02:53,119 forget what I was going to I always was going to say it the long and short it we 1447 02:02:49,480 --> 02:02:59,159 are being asked to pay 11 19,54 I expect that bill is come to 1448 02:02:56,199 --> 02:03:02,880 06 we do not know you're not sending out two bills you not send one to North Mill 1449 02:03:01,119 --> 02:03:07,599 not send one to the county that the County's chunk is in that and that's I'm 1450 02:03:05,520 --> 02:03:15,079 thinking up to Jaden and the County engineer to sit down and maybe cut it 1451 02:03:10,920 --> 02:03:22,480 figure 30% 40% whatever the figure it is so we're still expected to pay the 119 , 1452 02:03:19,520 --> 02:03:27,159 540 with a known fact that okay a third that we might 1453 02:03:23,800 --> 02:03:31,880 get 40,000 or 30,000 40,000 back in the count so our kind of number that we're 1454 02:03:29,040 --> 02:03:39,000 looking at is 80 or 990,000 somewhere in that just offer but we are expected to 1455 02:03:34,599 --> 02:03:43,400 pay out of our thing the 119 whether we want to or not we're we're asked we 1456 02:03:41,520 --> 02:03:47,520 expected to pay this 119 that's what I'm getting they're not sending O2 bills we 1457 02:03:45,360 --> 02:03:54,520 are still the one going to cut the check and and instead of we're not going 1458 02:03:50,400 --> 02:03:59,400 to send a bill to or talk with County just on this portion it's on the whole 1459 02:03:56,159 --> 02:04:04,000 proo right it's going to be one one one uh agreement that it's going to be 1460 02:04:02,119 --> 02:04:09,079 paid J thank you Mr May through you just just 1461 02:04:07,239 --> 02:04:13,440 to remind Council to this this is a project that we did get grant funding 1462 02:04:11,360 --> 02:04:17,920 through the investing Canada infrastructure program so um just with 1463 02:04:16,280 --> 02:04:21,320 respect to the source of financing for this project I'm not sure 1464 02:04:19,639 --> 02:04:28,800 um if our treasure has anything to add in that respect um just with respect to 1465 02:04:24,000 --> 02:04:28,800 where you know the funding um comes 1466 02:04:29,280 --> 02:04:37,079 from counc dagel I'm just looking at the table one the engineering breakdown 1467 02:04:35,440 --> 02:04:41,599 material testing there was nothing in the approved 1468 02:04:38,280 --> 02:04:47,719 budget and that uh other than 13,650 uh for additional material 1469 02:04:45,520 --> 02:04:51,840 testing this material testing did it come about because of all of a sudden 1470 02:04:49,639 --> 02:04:55,920 there was a need to re replace the road base because it was going to be accepted 1471 02:04:53,920 --> 02:04:58,400 as it was originally and then it was found to be 1472 02:04:58,920 --> 02:05:06,639 deficient Jaden or Stuart who's gonna answer Stuart go ahead on the hook again 1473 02:05:04,040 --> 02:05:12,199 through you Mr Mayor um the original proposal that we provided to Jaden's 1474 02:05:09,360 --> 02:05:17,040 predecessor uh outlined the what we anticipated for the scope of our work 1475 02:05:14,320 --> 02:05:20,960 and identified that uh the cost of material testing would be in addition to 1476 02:05:19,440 --> 02:05:25,440 that and carried through a separate budget whether we uh the material 1477 02:05:23,440 --> 02:05:30,800 testing consultant was carried by North mle sex directly or uh as additional uh 1478 02:05:29,159 --> 02:05:35,520 fees for semen so the the original proposal did 1479 02:05:33,400 --> 02:05:38,719 not include material testing though we always understood that material testing 1480 02:05:37,760 --> 02:05:44,559 would be required material testing is not 1481 02:05:40,800 --> 02:05:44,559 something that's a service that SEMA 1482 02:05:45,480 --> 02:05:54,119 provides okay is that good okay is there any other any other 1483 02:05:51,920 --> 02:06:00,800 questions no other questions we still have a request here 1484 02:05:56,679 --> 02:06:03,719 and a recommendation from staff that we pay 1485 02:06:01,800 --> 02:06:07,400 $19,500 what's council's wish 1486 02:06:13,760 --> 02:06:17,199 here deputy mayor 1487 02:06:17,599 --> 02:06:25,639 hin you Mo you move you move I move the 1488 02:06:23,480 --> 02:06:28,000 recommendation okay see where it goes all right a 1489 02:06:29,480 --> 02:06:36,280 second no seconder on this what's council's wish 1490 02:06:36,719 --> 02:06:44,480 then councel councel D is it possible to have a meeting with the county so kind 1491 02:06:42,960 --> 02:06:50,760 of get this broken down before we agree to it because if 1492 02:06:48,000 --> 02:06:55,880 the county box on it we're up up against it for 1493 02:06:52,920 --> 02:07:01,000 $120,000 we should see what the C's come close to what the 1494 02:06:59,440 --> 02:07:04,639 Count's going to be paying of this portion what's going to come out of 1495 02:07:02,480 --> 02:07:07,920 grant funding so we know what the last dollars are coming to the 1496 02:07:10,400 --> 02:07:21,239 tax Jaden do you do you have any comment to that or Carolyn I mean that's 1497 02:07:16,960 --> 02:07:25,800 um the if if I remember it right we are doing the project and we're submitting 1498 02:07:23,599 --> 02:07:30,000 their share to them overall not individual 1499 02:07:26,920 --> 02:07:34,840 pieces um is that not right I'm just I'm just saying if we go 1500 02:07:32,639 --> 02:07:39,880 to them just about this yeah through you Mr May that's 1501 02:07:37,000 --> 02:07:45,239 correct um we have had a meeting with the county to go through do that line by 1502 02:07:42,079 --> 02:07:50,280 line review um and we were generally in agreement with it um you know no issues 1503 02:07:48,079 --> 02:07:56,159 at all working that out with them and I don't expect there would be any issues 1504 02:07:53,079 --> 02:08:01,800 as we um you know work out the final numbers um with the County 1505 02:07:58,920 --> 02:08:07,520 engineer um so it would just be I mean if that's council's wish we can um 1506 02:08:04,920 --> 02:08:15,480 confirm that cost sharing it will take some time um so i' expect uh you know 1507 02:08:12,000 --> 02:08:20,400 towards uh probably the first meeting in um March first meeting in March yeah to 1508 02:08:19,239 --> 02:08:27,520 be able to bring that back that information back to Council on what what 1509 02:08:23,520 --> 02:08:27,520 exactly that cost spit is 1510 02:08:28,360 --> 02:08:38,800 County thank you Mayor Rob so I just want to quickly simplify this we had the 1511 02:08:35,400 --> 02:08:45,679 estimate a bid a bid awarded County agrees to X numbers of 1512 02:08:41,719 --> 02:08:52,840 dollars we're the other portion of that question I'm raising is they have agreed 1513 02:08:48,280 --> 02:08:58,199 to to that will they agree to this overrun 1514 02:08:54,599 --> 02:09:02,679 proportionately that's I that's what I'm getting I think that's what all and 1515 02:09:01,079 --> 02:09:08,000 that's the same thing with the $1.8 million we approved from Brix when was 1516 02:09:05,920 --> 02:09:11,760 that to add on to this whole project wasn't I think it was 1.8 1517 02:09:10,199 --> 02:09:19,159 million 1.5 oh maybe it was 1.58 okay but we we 1518 02:09:16,159 --> 02:09:23,320 approved that here uh because it was services rendered it's it's much the 1519 02:09:21,599 --> 02:09:30,079 same thing I mean it is an overrun uh Council just I'm not trying 1520 02:09:26,760 --> 02:09:34,679 to say Direct on it but let's just move forward on this one way or another like 1521 02:09:32,239 --> 02:09:39,559 let's let's make a decision here tonight Mr May if I could just make one one 1522 02:09:36,840 --> 02:09:44,880 addition go ahead and and maybe this will help clarify to council the 1523 02:09:41,960 --> 02:09:49,040 original bid that SEMA provided to North ble sex for services during the 1524 02:09:46,440 --> 02:09:56,400 construction phase uh was was predicated on the original contract that uh um uh 1525 02:09:53,800 --> 02:10:01,719 considered completion of the project by June of 1526 02:09:58,480 --> 02:10:06,760 2023 um through changes that were reviewed negotiated argued about and 1527 02:10:04,520 --> 02:10:11,480 ultimately approved by North Middle sex the completion date was then extended to 1528 02:10:09,280 --> 02:10:16,800 I believe it was November 10th November yeah so through those changes North 1529 02:10:13,719 --> 02:10:21,800 metalx has agreed to the additional uh construction period and what we are 1530 02:10:19,000 --> 02:10:26,400 asking for is for compensation for the additional surfice during construction 1531 02:10:23,880 --> 02:10:26,400 for that 1532 02:10:26,960 --> 02:10:35,079 period uh we did through the through that period we did repeatedly ask the 1533 02:10:33,440 --> 02:10:39,719 the contractor when they were going to achieve completion on the project but we 1534 02:10:37,320 --> 02:10:44,239 were unable to uh get you know firm commitment from them as to when they 1535 02:10:41,520 --> 02:10:48,679 were actually going to get there so you know in in terms of estimating what our 1536 02:10:46,800 --> 02:10:54,920 over overruns were going to be it was impossible until such time as they 1537 02:10:50,840 --> 02:11:01,079 actually got I know raises the question that if the contractor was absentee for 1538 02:10:59,639 --> 02:11:07,159 five weeks or there was no business being done what were you 1539 02:11:04,239 --> 02:11:11,679 doing to incur costs if they aren't working you're not 1540 02:11:09,239 --> 02:11:15,800 working through you Mr Meritt as as I did indicate previously during that 1541 02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:20,760 period we did not have our inspectors on site there is no inspection ch we did uh 1542 02:11:19,199 --> 02:11:27,000 hold a number of meetings with the contractor trying to get them to come 1543 02:11:23,159 --> 02:11:34,360 back uh we did you know try to respond to all their uh numerous R requests for 1544 02:11:30,480 --> 02:11:39,520 information that were repeated and uh frivolous uh from in my perspective but 1545 02:11:37,639 --> 02:11:43,719 we we tried to work with the contractor to get them back to get them on site to 1546 02:11:41,559 --> 02:11:49,480 finish the job okay counc Nera but at a cost of 1547 02:11:46,840 --> 02:11:56,000 almost 120,000 not just for that just for that no not 1548 02:11:52,520 --> 02:12:02,000 just not just for so for the whole period from June to November corre 1549 02:11:58,400 --> 02:12:06,480 that's corre yeah all right that's a better way of phrasing for June to 1550 02:12:04,280 --> 02:12:12,559 November but there was about two two months of zero work being done of 1551 02:12:10,679 --> 02:12:15,840 those five months by the 1552 02:12:15,960 --> 02:12:22,239 contractor okay right councelor thank you your worship um comment for 1553 02:12:20,880 --> 02:12:25,760 you and Council I don't think council is saying a hard go here I think what 1554 02:12:24,040 --> 02:12:30,559 council is saying is we'd like a little bit more information and defered 1555 02:12:27,520 --> 02:12:32,920 decision get and if that's March that's only a 1556 02:12:35,280 --> 02:12:41,199 month are you making that a motion we're we're circling around here 1557 02:12:40,280 --> 02:12:46,079 and let's I would be happy to make that a m 1558 02:12:44,119 --> 02:12:49,199 work I I don't have the complete list of all the other information council's 1559 02:12:47,400 --> 02:12:52,639 looking for but I think most of us been captured in the uh in the discussion 1560 02:12:51,159 --> 02:12:57,360 here this evening uh so I'll turn that before I 1561 02:12:55,199 --> 02:13:01,480 ask for a second Jaden is that possible to get some additional information for 1562 02:12:59,159 --> 02:13:07,119 Council for that for March through your worship uh yes and I 1563 02:13:04,960 --> 02:13:12,920 I just want to clarify with with Council then is the additional information 1564 02:13:09,960 --> 02:13:18,840 required what the cost split is for this engineering overrun with the 1565 02:13:15,239 --> 02:13:22,119 county correct is that correct I think it is your worship and I think 1566 02:13:20,280 --> 02:13:26,880 council is still seeking some clarity in some of the uh actions Behind These 1567 02:13:24,719 --> 02:13:31,000 numbers maybe we can submit them after we had a chance to think about it a 1568 02:13:28,719 --> 02:13:35,159 little bit more but I I as I said I don't think council's making a hard no I 1569 02:13:33,280 --> 02:13:39,239 think they're just wanting some more information before and I'm putting words 1570 02:13:37,599 --> 02:13:43,199 in other counsel's mouths of course before we make a decision this evening 1571 02:13:41,239 --> 02:13:48,639 okay so you you've made a motion to defer this to the march to 1572 02:13:46,320 --> 02:13:53,599 March yes worship and I and I would I would ask our our our manager here what 1573 02:13:51,559 --> 02:13:55,840 um which meeting in March would be the best 1574 02:13:56,599 --> 02:14:02,159 one through the mayor personally just because some 1575 02:14:00,679 --> 02:14:07,199 vacation time coming up it would be the second one second meeting in March it's 1576 02:14:04,559 --> 02:14:12,360 council's okay okay so is there a second there for 1577 02:14:09,040 --> 02:14:16,400 that okay we we got many councel Nera seconded by Council more discussion on 1578 02:14:16,520 --> 02:14:22,760 that so question for councelor Irwin is is that then to deter you're agreeing to 1579 02:14:21,480 --> 02:14:28,440 pay the full 119,000 subject to what the county is 1580 02:14:25,079 --> 02:14:28,440 willing to compensate this 1581 02:14:29,000 --> 02:14:36,480 one my motion simply said we would make a decision on this with more information 1582 02:14:34,079 --> 02:14:41,000 whether it's the full amount a partial amount I'm not sure until we get the 1583 02:14:38,159 --> 02:14:44,760 information obviously thank you okay in favor of that 1584 02:14:46,639 --> 02:14:49,880 motion car 1585 02:14:49,920 --> 02:14:57,119 okay before we go on to our next report we're going to take a five minute 1586 02:14:54,960 --> 02:14:59,960 break might even be six minutes but we'll take a short 1587 02:15:03,520 --> 02:15:10,840 break all right we'll call the meeting back to order and we will go back 1588 02:15:09,320 --> 02:15:15,599 into 5.5 to report from manager of 1589 02:15:13,119 --> 02:15:19,800 infrastructure on the Northern uh El Craig Northern drainage issues 1590 02:15:31,040 --> 02:15:36,920 uh 5.4 pardon me uh the drainy superintendent but I believe Jaden 1591 02:15:35,280 --> 02:15:40,920 you're going to be presenting that Municipal drain tender results in 1592 02:15:38,520 --> 02:15:46,040 contract award for the Hutcheson Eagles drain 1593 02:15:42,800 --> 02:15:50,679 a thank you your worship yeah item I have 5.5 um so this is

purpose of this report is to award 1596 02:16:00,360 --> 02:16:15,119 the tender um for contract MD 01 2024 for the Hutchinson Eagles and drain a to 1597 02:16:09,360 --> 02:16:18,760 jlh Excavating Inc in the amount of $222,900 1598 02:16:16,719 --> 02:16:25,360 and 90 um excluding 1599 02:16:21,840 --> 02:16:31,679 hsd only one bid was received on this project however the price came in well 1600 02:16:27,960 --> 02:16:31,679 below the engineers's estimate of 1601 02:16:46,679 --> 02:16:52,719 $297,700 this contractor seems relatively new to me has he worked with 1602 02:16:50,679 --> 02:16:57,040 us before in dream through the mayor yes I do believe 1603 02:16:55,319 --> 02:17:01,160 we have worked with this contractor before is he local where's he 1604 02:16:59,080 -->

1606 02:17:12,880 --> 02:17:19,920 questions any other questions on this train seeing no other questions I have a 1607 02:17:17,920 --> 02:17:24,519 recommendation in front of you move by councel Irwin seconded by councel Nera 1608 02:17:22,840 --> 02:17:30,479 all in favor carried all right now we'll go to 1609 02:17:27,760 --> 02:17:33,120 5.5 and that's Hills Craig North drainage 1610 02:17:34,599 --> 02:17:42,200 issues um your worship I'm afraid the the item was moved around on the agenda 1611 02:17:39,920 --> 02:17:48,679 that some Council might be looking at to move the matter we dealt with last to we 1612 02:17:46,760 --> 02:17:54,080 have it as 5.8 but the rest of account4 so we're we're using different 1613 02:17:51,479 --> 02:17:54,080 slightly different 1614 02:18:00,080 --> 02:18:08,000 numbers you had the correct item just the different numbers are 1615 02:18:04,679 --> 02:18:14,439 reflected okay so uh this is the El Craig 1616 02:18:09,639 --> 02:18:19,319 northage so change the numbers okay through you yourip this report is a 1617 02:18:17,599 --> 02:18:22,719 follow up to previous reports and discussions with Council regarding 1618 02:18:20,760 --> 02:18:26,880 drainage issues which have been occurring in the Northeast area of Al 1619 02:18:24,639 --> 02:18:32,479 Craig um around Queen Street Church Street and rabbitwood Court area the 1620 02:18:29,800 --> 02:18:35,519 report provides background on the issues and complaints as well as staff's 1621 02:18:34,200 --> 02:18:41,040 assessment of the cause of the issues and steps taken to address 1622 02:18:37,519 --> 02:18:46,639 them um so we were able to confirm that an old storm sewer on Church Street was 1623 02:18:43,280 --> 02:18:52,240 clogged with tree roots and uh we have some photos there that we'll be able to 1624 02:18:48,359 --> 02:18:59,399 share with Council um was clogged with tree roots and debris resulting in um we 1625 02:18:56,280 --> 02:19:02,120 believe water backing up um we believe that this was the cause of the issue 1626 02:19:00,800 --> 02:19:06,599 that some residents on Church Street were having with their water backing up 1627 02:19:03,920 --> 02:19:10,399 into their basements um you can just see some photos there of the repair being 1628 02:19:08,120 --> 02:19:15,160 undertaken by by a contractor um so the contractor was 1629 02:19:13,760 --> 02:19:20,399 hired to complete the repair which was done on January 23rd and the storm sewer 1630 02:19:18,479 --> 02:19:26,840 is now functioning properly um a separate uh a second 1631 02:19:23,800 --> 02:19:31,960 separate issue was um encountered involving ponding water and flooding in 1632 02:19:30,280 --> 02:19:37,040 the rear yards of properties on Church Street and rabbitwood Court and at the 1633 02:19:34,800 --> 02:19:43,160 December 6th council meeting Council directed staff to complete an an 1634 02:19:40,080 --> 02:19:47,880 assessment of the drain andu so we had our drainage engineer our doin Inc 1635 02:19:45,080 --> 02:19:54,280 complete an assessment on December 13 and their findings are summarized in the 1636 02:19:50,760 --> 02:19:58,640 report um so to summarize arin's findings um they there is a small 1637 02:19:56,280 --> 02:20:04,479 Channel which is an old abandoned CN Railway ditch uh in the rear yard of 1638 02:20:01,040 --> 02:20:10,000 these properties um with a hicken bottom Outlet at the East End which is 1639 02:20:06,920 --> 02:20:14,399 approximately 0.84 meters higher than the West End of the channel the 1640 02:20:12,319 --> 02:20:19,479 abandoned ditch was filled in years ago by Downstream residents to the East and 1641 02:20:17,640 --> 02:20:23,280 um with the hick and bottom being at a higher elevation than the rest of the 1642 02:20:21,040 --> 02:20:30,520 channel the water does not currently drain from that ditch um so um the 1643 02:20:28,680 --> 02:20:35,720 there's also the development property to north um the new Lots on Queen Street um 1644 02:20:34,439 --> 02:20:41,040 and and those have provided their grading certificates the municipality 1645 02:20:38,399 --> 02:20:43,600 that verifies that the site drainage is in accordance with the design approved 1646 02:20:42,880 --> 02:20:50,800 by the municipality and um additionally the 1647 02:20:46,920 --> 02:20:55,399 southern most lot on Queen Street um did add some additional catch basins along 1648 02:20:53,040 --> 02:21:01,960 their southern property line to capture drainage in that area um so the drainage 1649 02:20:59,840 --> 02:21:06,880 for those New Lots should be contained within the rear yards and not spill onto 1650 02:21:03,720 --> 02:21:11,760 the existing properties of the South our doin engineering did identify a 1651 02:21:09,399 --> 02:21:15,760 potential solution to address the lowly ditch area in the rear yards that 1652 02:21:13,800 --> 02:21:22,240 currently don't have a drainage outlet and that would be for Property Owners 1653 02:21:18,760 --> 02:21:28,800 owner or owners requiring the drainage they could petition for a new Municipal 1654 02:21:25,479 --> 02:21:33,720 drain um therefore staff is recommending that Council direct staff to inform the 1655 02:21:31,880 --> 02:21:39,000 residents experiencing drainage issues in their rear yards of their option for 1656 02:21:37,359 --> 02:21:41,720 petitioning for a municipal drain through the drainage 1657 02:21:42,120 --> 02:21:45,120 act 1658 02:21:46,240 --> 02:21:56,319 questions CN just a comment in a question 1659 02:21:51,760 --> 02:22:02,280 appreciate the report and appreciate the professional opinion here but boy was 1660 02:22:00,399 --> 02:22:08,880 there a lot of water back so I I'm not sure where it all came 1661 02:22:06,280 --> 02:22:13,080 from because it wasn't there in the past that being said I did ask this question 1662 02:22:10,520 --> 02:22:19,160 previously uh in anticipation of council tonight what would be the cost of a 1663 02:22:15,520 --> 02:22:19,160 municipal drain to the residents 1664 02:22:19,359 --> 02:22:26,680 through your worship I did inquire with our Dobbin um thank you for providing 1665 02:22:23,280 --> 02:22:30,120 the question counselor um and they provided a very um preliminary estimate 1666 02:22:28,760 --> 02:22:34,640 they they think it could be in the order of 30,000 to 1667 02:22:32,240 --> 02:22:39,840 $80,000 um you know it's very early they didn't do a very thorough assessment um 1668 02:22:37,280 --> 02:22:43,880 so there's just a lot of variables um to that so 30,000 to 80,000 is the range 1669 02:22:42,920 --> 02:22:47,720 they provided thank you uh can I ask for 1670 02:22:46,800 --> 02:22:52,800 claric councelor irn you said there was a lot 1671 02:22:49,240 --> 02:22:58,800 of water when are you referring to um we worship I was there both in the spring 1672 02:22:55,600 --> 02:23:05,319 and the and the fall and uh the backyard were very flooded um so there was a lot 1673 02:23:02,160 --> 02:23:09,200 of water there in both occasions um I've never seen that much water in those 1674 02:23:07,160 --> 02:23:14,200 backyards so yeah I just wanted to clarify I wanted a 1675 02:23:11,200 --> 02:23:20,000 clarification um any other questions from counselor comments I have one in 1676 02:23:18,200 --> 02:23:25,240 because it's all private property could the residents just not agree to put in a 1677 02:23:22,680 --> 02:23:28,840 drain themselves if they wanted to and not make it a municipal drain just to 1678 02:23:28,920 --> 02:23:36,359 private through the mayor yes I do believe that they can do that you can 1679 02:23:33,479 --> 02:23:39,359 they can do a private drain um or a mutual agreement drain is also another 1680 02:23:38,240 --> 02:23:43,560 one that would go through the drainage act but certainly Property Owners can 1681 02:23:41,720 --> 02:23:48,240 can work together to to find a solution to do I I think that should be part of 1682 02:23:46,080 --> 02:23:53,520 the part of the uh options to to the residents you know 1683 02:23:52,040 --> 02:23:57,200 if they could if they could meet and just get together it would 1684 02:23:55,040 --> 02:24:01,560 certainly I'm sure save them a lot of money and be done more reasonably if 1685 02:23:59,319 --> 02:24:06,160 they could agree to something like that and uh it'll be interesting uh 1686 02:24:04,439 --> 02:24:13,439 interesting is a wrong word but I wait to see what happens when they start to 1687 02:24:08,600 --> 02:24:19,240 do the back of that property the uh East Side East End of that property with the 1688 02:24:15,319 --> 02:24:23,319 tow houses uh to to help mitigate that water and of course right from the 1689 02:24:21,080 --> 02:24:29,040 beginning you know to help mitigate that water so I think that's another another 1690 02:24:25,640 --> 02:24:33,560 thing to make sure to make uh people more comfortable with what's happening 1691 02:24:30,680 --> 02:24:39,200 back there but I think if I I agree to to give those the results of this to the 1692 02:24:36,080 --> 02:24:42,840 residents but also if private drain is another option I think that's something 1693 02:24:40,600 --> 02:24:47,880 that should be to S as well other other comments questions from 1694 02:24:46,560 --> 02:24:51,560 you have a recommendation in front of you what's your 1695 02:24:49,160 --> 02:24:53,880 wish move the recommendation by Council Irwin 1696 02:24:53,920 --> 02:25:01,359 seconder councelor canelon in favor carried thank you

project and I just wanted to give this information to 1703 02:25:36,120 --> 02:25:45,359 council and how the final costs came in um enbridge's cost did come in quite a 1704 02:25:42,960 --> 02:25:48,880 bit higher than they had estimated um they estimated the cost to be 1705 02:25:49,040 --> 02:25:52,439 $42,000 sorry $ 1706 02:26:02,240 --> 02:26:12,640 42,73318 7,000 and under the standard 1707 02:26:08,640 --> 02:26:20,200 3565 cost split um our share of that overrun would have been around $62,000 1708 02:26:17,920 --> 02:26:27,479 um after discussing that further with embridge we were able to get them to um 1709 02:26:24,160 --> 02:26:33,439 cut that in half to to evenly split our share of the cost overrun so um the our 1710 02:26:31,800 --> 02:26:39,439 share of the total overrun is approximately 1711 02:26:35,040 --> 02:26:42,840 $31,000 so therefore the total um final cost to the municipality of North Middle 1712 02:26:41,319 --> 02:26:46,560 sex for the gas main relocation is 1713 02:26:47,600 --> 02:26:59,000 $940 excluding HST um and this does fall within staff's 1714 02:26:54,560 --> 02:27:02,439 delegated approval so um Council approval is not required but just wanted 1715 02:27:00,439 --> 02:27:07,960 to bring this for council's information is there any questions on Deputy Mayor 1716 02:27:04,800 --> 02:27:12,600 hodin quick question Jaden to you m mayor uh where where are they re 1717 02:27:09,840 --> 02:27:12,600 relocating 1718 02:27:13,800 --> 02:27:21,399 it through the mayor it was just relocating it from the west side of the 1719 02:27:19,399 --> 02:27:24,520 road the West Boulevard to the East Boulevard just flipping it to the other 1720 02:27:22,960 --> 02:27:29,040 side so we have a clear running line for that 1721 02:27:26,279 --> 02:27:34,240 water any other any other questions on that no other questions we need a motion 1722 02:27:31,880 --> 02:27:40,600 to receive this for information counc Nera Council dagel all in favor carry 1723 02:27:37,120 --> 02:27:46,399 thank you uh you're up again oh this lagoons okay so uh on the Park Hill Su 1724 02:27:43,479 --> 02:27:49,640 Lagoon bridging update and Wastewater uh waste water servicing 1725 02:27:50,319 --> 02:27:59,240 capacity your worship um we have a report report here an update on the Park 1726 02:27:56,399 --> 02:28:04,680 Hill sewage Lagoon dredging project um and also some information about um a 1727 02:28:02,160 --> 02:28:10,319 proposed Wastewater servicing capacity allocation um we wanted to get this 1728 02:28:06,880 --> 02:28:16,720 information into Council in advance of the um of our budget process so um just 1729 02:28:14,880 --> 02:28:22,560 going through the background we have had previous reports to Council on this 1730 02:28:18,960 --> 02:28:27,319 matter in July of last year we brought a comprehensive update report back to 1731 02:28:25,120 --> 02:28:32,479 council about where we stand with the with the current lagoons and the 1732 02:28:28,800 --> 02:28:37,960 capacity of the lagoons uh as well as the the plans for the future wastewater 1733 02:28:33,960 --> 02:28:42,120 treatment plants um we basically uh found that the lagoons are at capacity 1734 02:28:40,479 --> 02:28:50,000 and we can't really proceed with development at this time um in December 1735 02:28:46,760 --> 02:28:55,000 we um got council's approval for pre-budget 1736 02:28:51,040 --> 02:29:01,760 approval to move ahead with um an engineering contract with RV Anderson 1737 02:28:58,040 --> 02:29:07,720 Associates limited to get the design going for the Lagoon dredging project um 1738 02:29:06,040 --> 02:29:12,120 so since that time in December we've been working with RBA on this project um 1739 02:29:10,640 --> 02:29:17,040 they have prepared a capital cost estimate for Lagoon dredging and they 1740 02:29:14,399 --> 02:29:24,200 provide a range for moving the total quantity of sludge and 1741 02:29:20,359 --> 02:29:29,880 that range is $2.8 million to $3.2 million 1742 02:29:26,160 --> 02:29:34,560 um it's estimated that by removing the the full quantity of sludge um we could 1743 02:29:32,560 --> 02:29:40,680 free up approximately the equivalent of 180 1744 02:29:38,040 --> 02:29:46,920 single family equivalent units of development um we are recommending that 1745 02:29:44,840 --> 02:29:52,680 we proceed with this with proceed with the project um and proceed the full 1746 02:29:49,319 --> 02:29:58,800 Sledge cleanout however um Council may also want to consider partial clean out 1747 02:29:55,000 --> 02:30:05,120 which would free up a lesser um quantity of wastewater treatment capacity for 1748 02:30:01,279 --> 02:30:08,640 development um within the report provide a table with the current active 1749 02:30:07,000 --> 02:30:13,359 development files in Park Hill for council's reference 1750 02:30:10,880 --> 02:30:19,920 and um and then we go into uh 1751 02:30:17,600 --> 02:30:26,560 we do want to recommend that Council direct staff to put together a a 1752 02:30:23,000 --> 02:30:34,600 Wastewater servicing capacity allocation policy um and that would help us ensure 1753 02:30:31,479 --> 02:30:38,000 that when we create wastewater treatment capacity at the lagoons should be 1754 02:30:36,200 --> 02:30:44,840 proceeded with the d sledging project that that capacity is allocated in a 1755 02:30:40,080 --> 02:30:49,760 fair efficient and transparent manner um that would be uh done through Council as 1756 02:30:46,960 --> 02:30:55,920 well so that would be a policy we'd put together in House at no 1757 02:30:52,040 --> 02:31:01,760 cost and that is the report okay questions Council irn thank you worship 1758 02:30:58,920 --> 02:31:09,000 just one uh question if we do go ahead and dredge the lagoons what's the 1759 02:31:05,439 --> 02:31:09,000 increased life capacity of 1760 02:31:10,160 --> 02:31:18,359 them uh through the mayor just to clarify when you talk about life back 1761 02:31:13,720 --> 02:31:18,359 you mean how long would it be good for 1762 02:31:20,000 --> 02:31:24,880 with respect sorry just for clarification again with respect to 1763 02:31:23,000 --> 02:31:29,479 would it add another 10 years life would it add another 15 years to the usability 1764 02:31:27,000 --> 02:31:35,760 would it add another five years 25 years how long would it add to the 1765 02:31:31,760 --> 02:31:39,600 usability so um I don't have I don't have the exact information on that it' 1766 02:31:38,000 --> 02:31:47,760 be something we'll be working with with rvy rvy Anderson on um as we continue to 1767 02:31:43,120 --> 02:31:52,439 develop the design um we do know that the the Lagoon has been accumulating 1768 02:31:49,960 --> 02:31:57,680 sludge since it was built in the the late 70s I believe it was and that 1769 02:31:55,279 --> 02:32:03,600 there's now you know around 45,000 cubic meters so um you know we 1770 02:32:01,760 --> 02:32:09,680 could determine but it's I guess complicated or complex um processes in 1771 02:32:07,200 --> 02:32:13,760 that the Sledge how it accumulates and how it would displace capacity um but I 1772 02:32:11,800 --> 02:32:18,279 can certainly get some information back for Council on that okay 1773 02:32:19,640 --> 02:32:27,920 there is also added to that is the thought that if you did some maintenance 1774 02:32:25,279 --> 02:32:34,040 on the lagoons um that uh may have not been done on nearly 1775 02:32:31,840 --> 02:32:40,359 as regular basis that it could have been done with the lagoons in the past that 1776 02:32:37,000 --> 02:32:48,240 we could prolong that now how much I don't know um but there is some there's 1777 02:32:43,720 --> 02:32:48,240 some potential opportunity there as well 1778 02:32:48,680 --> 02:32:57,279 okay other questions Council canel thank you Mayor Rob I have two questions Jaden 1779 02:32:54,760 --> 02:33:01,640 the first one for you is that um there's some indication that by doing the 1780 02:32:59,200 --> 02:33:07,640 sledging here we could accommodate up to an additional 185 single family homes is 1781 02:33:04,680 --> 02:33:07,640 there any guarantee of 1782 02:33:09,479 --> 02:33:17,880 that to the mayor um we do know that like based on our current capacity um 1783 02:33:15,080 --> 02:33:22,200 analysis that we've done we do know that the sludge it's basically taking up 1784 02:33:20,479 --> 02:33:29,920 space like it's occupying space there that would could be used um by by raw 1785 02:33:26,080 --> 02:33:35,160 waste water so um provided that the the Sledge is removed yes it does create 1786 02:33:32,800 --> 02:33:39,720 capacity okay it's just that I wouldn't want to be disappointed by an 1787 02:33:36,600 --> 02:33:46,880 engineering report again and my other question for you is you you make a 1788 02:33:42,240 --> 02:33:52,960 reference here to 37 3759 to 436 tones if we went with a higher limit to 1789 02:33:49,560 --> 02:33:56,640 436 tones is that all of the sledges in these lag or just still a portion of 1790 02:33:58,319 --> 02:34:08,120 it the mayor that is the that's total quantity of of sludge um like that's 1791 02:34:05,880 --> 02:34:12,479 that's kind of a theoretical dry ton quantity of it it comes out um you know 1792 02:34:10,720 --> 02:34:18,560 as kind of more of a a slurry or a certain um solids percentage but um 1793 02:34:16,439 --> 02:34:23,960 that's a total F I just did some quick calculations I just for in FYI it works 1794 02:34:20,920 --> 02:34:26,399 out to $750 per tone to remove it which is pretty 1795 02:34:28,640 --> 02:34:36,200 steep coun Nera Jaden this is just a temporary measure I mean we'll still 1796 02:34:33,960 --> 02:34:42,080 have to set aside some funds for a wastewater treatment plant 1797 02:34:39,200 --> 02:34:45,760 correct through the mayor that's um correct like the wastewater treatment 1798 02:34:43,520 --> 02:34:48,520 plant is still our our ultimate goal it's just 1799 02:34:46,720 --> 02:34:55,479 um you know with the inability to fund that project and see it move forward um 1800 02:34:52,120 --> 02:35:00,160 this is certainly uh I guess to say it's temporary it is a thing that we have to 1801 02:34:58,040 --> 02:35:03,760 do regardless should we proceed with the wastewater treatment plant we still do 1802 02:35:01,880 --> 02:35:06,840 have to dredge these lagoons at some point so it's a matter of time for when 1803 02:35:06,080 --> 02:35:12,640 we have to and do we have a timeline on when 1804 02:35:10,479 --> 02:35:17,760 they're going to be cleaned out and dged or is that all contingent 1805 02:35:15,000 --> 02:35:24,279 on getting um the report back from the 1806 02:35:21,200 --> 02:35:31,160 engineer through the mayor um we would leave it um open to the potential 1807 02:35:28,479 --> 02:35:38,399 contractors that would do the work um it could be as early as say end of March 1808 02:35:35,600 --> 02:35:44,160 should the should it be approved um the budget um RV is working towards having 1809 02:35:41,439 --> 02:35:49,520 the tender documents ready um they recommend keeping the time line for when 1810 02:35:46,640 --> 02:35:55,120 the work would happen flexible with the contractor so giving them a window say 1811 02:35:51,279 --> 02:36:00,000 March till um later in the year for them to do the work and then they can make 1812 02:35:57,000 --> 02:36:04,920 arrangements to do it at their time and then just one more question Jaden um 1813 02:36:02,359 --> 02:36:08,240 once we get this D sludged is that the green light for the developers then to 1814 02:36:06,680 --> 02:36:12,960 go ahead and start their project that they've been 1815 02:36:10,000 --> 02:36:16,479 waiting through the mayor that's the that's the Hope like we want to get this 1816 02:36:14,840 --> 02:36:21,760 D sludge to help some of these developments that you know are 1817 02:36:18,760 --> 02:36:27,720 essentially waiting and ready to go um to be able to proceed with their 1818 02:36:24,439 --> 02:36:27,720 projects thank you 1819 02:36:27,760 --> 02:36:34,560 Jaden I just wanted to add to that so what Jaden mentioned a few minutes ago 1820 02:36:31,800 --> 02:36:41,800 though it should be subject to a sewage allocation strategy so that um all the 1821 02:36:38,359 --> 02:36:47,319 capacity isn't used up by one developer uh it needs to be done on a process that 1822 02:36:44,279 --> 02:36:52,800 allocates it uh often it's done in other places based on performance so a 1823 02:36:49,680 --> 02:36:57,279 developer that actually is building and gets building permits and moves ahead um 1824 02:36:55,359 --> 02:37:01,880 would be allocated first rather than someone who for instance might sit on it 1825 02:37:00,000 --> 02:37:06,359 U waiting for sales or something that nature so it'll be allocated based on a 1826 02:37:04,520 --> 02:37:12,160 strategy that would be developed and brought to to council for 1827 02:37:08,359 --> 02:37:17,800 approval councel you had your hand up any idea how long it would take to do 1828 02:37:13,920 --> 02:37:17,800 the full feed up 1829 02:37:19,359 --> 02:37:25,840 through the mayor I'm just looking at some notes here from our meeting with 1830 02:37:22,760 --> 02:37:32,680 the consultant but I believe it's it's a um it's a pretty short uh duration I 1831 02:37:30,240 --> 02:37:37,560 believe it's only two or three weeks I may ask um we've working very closely 1832 02:37:34,960 --> 02:37:40,479 with aqua on this and we do have Rod here who's been kind enough to be 1833 02:37:39,439 --> 02:37:44,200 sitting through the meeting maybe I don't know R if you anything to add or 1834 02:37:42,439 --> 02:37:51,080 maybe you know those specific information how long it takes the dredge 1835 02:37:47,279 --> 02:37:56,880 again yeah um thank you so um to go with councelor Irwin's comments and counselor 1836 02:37:54,040 --> 02:38:02,279 uh narrative the the dredging of this Lagoon that we're talking about in 1837 02:37:58,560 --> 02:38:07,040 particular it is also in relation to the wastewater treatment plant design so 1838 02:38:05,040 --> 02:38:12,279 this isn't this isn't money that's going to be spent one time this is actually 1839 02:38:09,560 --> 02:38:17,200 going to help us in that new plant design so I want to make sure that 1840 02:38:14,240 --> 02:38:21,399 everyone is aware of that so uh we're going to be able to maintain this Lago 1841 02:38:19,720 --> 02:38:26,359 or do any type of upgrades as it's being taken down and 1842 02:38:23,960 --> 02:38:33,200 dredged uh in relation to our future project so that's that's number one U 1843 02:38:29,439 --> 02:38:37,560 normally these uh processes that RBA is is working on you have a number of 1844 02:38:35,600 --> 02:38:43,399 different processes to dredge it so I guess it all depends on what process is 1845 02:38:39,520 --> 02:38:49,880 being picked or chosen so yes two three weeks maybe a month Maybe two month tops 1846 02:38:47,240 --> 02:38:56,160 uh just depending on the process how we're going to dredge that 1847 02:38:52,640 --> 02:39:02,800 legon okay just to follow up we're talking to lagoons here are we 1848 02:38:58,520 --> 02:39:08,920 not um the the one cell that we're talking about that dredging from my 1849 02:39:04,880 --> 02:39:13,200 understanding is the so cell uh first um but the total project of three million 1850 02:39:11,279 --> 02:39:17,640 or four million or whatever it is is both being 1851 02:39:14,640 --> 02:39:17,640 done 1852 02:39:17,760 --> 02:39:20,600 yeah 1853 02:39:20,680 --> 02:39:28,800 yeah that is a firm yes that is right that is the scope of the project is both 1854 02:39:26,359 --> 02:39:34,120 cells correct okay that is correct I mean the way we answer I just want to 1855 02:39:31,560 --> 02:39:38,880 make okay is that is that all coun canel thank you Mayor Rob the 1856 02:39:37,240 --> 02:39:43,120 question I have for either one of you gentlemen is that we've have quite a bit 1857 02:39:40,920 --> 02:39:48,279 of funds invested in the design and build of the plant itself the mechanical 1858 02:39:45,319 --> 02:39:53,000 plant if we go ahead with this and delay that plant indefinitely what happens to 1859 02:39:50,840 --> 02:39:53,000 that 1860 02:39:53,600 --> 02:40:04,279 design the design is going to stay as is because that cell is tied to that design 1861 02:40:01,600 --> 02:40:08,960 so you're not you didn't lose U that design you know of when we do get our 1862 02:40:07,520 --> 02:40:14,680 funding because I believe we are we're going to be successful we're going to be 1863 02:40:10,560 --> 02:40:18,160 able to move with that build so again dredging this Lagoon 1864 02:40:16,319 --> 02:40:22,760 is is something that we're going to have to do regardless and maintain our our 1865 02:40:20,760 --> 02:40:31,120 system okay so even if it's 5 years down the road that sign be correct okay thank 1866 02:40:27,720 --> 02:40:37,439 you you said you were good any other questions but I have one and that is if 1867 02:40:34,040 --> 02:40:41,920 we approve this because nothing happens overnight with Building Homes and 1868 02:40:39,120 --> 02:40:47,680 everything else if we approve this and we know this is the case can we start 1869 02:40:44,399 --> 02:40:53,000 that process then of allowing the start of you know construction of 180 units or 1870 02:40:51,560 --> 02:40:59,399 do we have to wait are we going to wait till it's completed and 1871 02:40:55,040 --> 02:41:02,960 then and then uh allocate I mean are we going to start that process as we start 1872 02:41:01,640 --> 02:41:09,040 to work in conjunction through your worship um I 1873 02:41:06,520 --> 02:41:13,760 think that that ties into this this Wastewater servicing capacity alloc 1874 02:41:11,479 --> 02:41:17,520 allocation policy and that's really going to give us the procedures and the 1875 02:41:15,600 --> 02:41:24,120 process for how it gets allocated and when they can start um but certainly um 1876 02:41:22,120 --> 02:41:28,240 yeah once we get the the go-ahead I think we want to be sure that you know 1877 02:41:25,359 --> 02:41:33,359 it is successful and we have created capacity but um yeah there more detail 1878 02:41:31,240 --> 02:41:37,279 to come when we get there I just want to make comment that this is good to get 1879 02:41:35,439 --> 02:41:44,279 real numbers and to get real information uh because over the past few 1880 02:41:41,240 --> 02:41:48,279 years I will say or at least the last two or three years the information's 1881 02:41:46,479 --> 02:41:51,800 been all over the place and I think having Anderson having that sewing our 1882 02:41:50,479 --> 02:41:56,720 down and all that stuff and actually getting to right where we need to be 1883 02:41:54,399 --> 02:42:01,120 where's the best way to spend money I commend you for that we're getting to 1884 02:41:59,120 --> 02:42:04,760 that point is there any more questions on 1885 02:42:02,200 --> 02:42:13,840 this because we have a recommendation in front of us oh sorry sorry John sorry P 1886 02:42:08,600 --> 02:42:18,000 K thank you I guess I'll pass this on to Estelle how are we going to pay for 1887 02:42:18,960 --> 02:42:22,560 this save the egg 1888 02:42:23,960 --> 02:42:35,000 money that will be determined upon budgets and budget presentation cancel 1889 02:42:30,720 --> 02:42:38,560 thank you it has been it has been a come to the budget committee no no 1890 02:42:36,720 --> 02:42:43,960 recommendations made yet to go to council but it has been talked about it 1891 02:42:40,680 --> 02:42:51,680 has been brought forward as a any other questions on 1892 02:42:46,439 --> 02:42:54,680 it seeing none um let uh Council received this report for information the 1893 02:42:53,160 --> 02:42:59,960 council direct staff to develop a Wastewater servicing capacity allocation 1894 02:42:57,560 --> 02:43:04,200 policy for review and approval by the policy committee and Council you're 1895 02:43:02,000 --> 02:43:11,439 moving that move by councelor Nera seconded by councelor Irwin all in favor 1896 02:43:08,520 --> 02:43:16,479 carried thank you thanks Jaden uh we are now is this now the 1897 02:43:14,040 --> 02:43:19,720 William Street SE pumping because I think br's going 1898 02:43:19,840 --> 02:43:28,200 last right okay William Street sewage pumping station in Elsa Craig sorry I 1899 02:43:26,640 --> 02:43:31,600 should said that where are you 1900 02:43:34,080 --> 02:43:37,840 going can't get away that 1901 02:43:38,680 --> 02:43:45,000 early all right thanks Rod I do appreciate you being here tonight we do 1902 02:43:43,520 --> 02:43:48,439 I mean to help with these These are big report report and there's we're talking 1903 02:43:46,640 --> 02:43:53,840 a lot of money and a lot of impact on the community so do appreciate you my 1904 02:43:51,359 --> 02:44:01,000 pleasure okay go ahead Jaden okay thank you your worship the last one so um 1905 02:43:57,200 --> 02:44:05,200 thanks for your your patience um so I just want to acknowledge that we are 1906 02:44:02,040 --> 02:44:11,240 joined here um we do have thanks um we're joined by Dylan Consulting um we 1907 02:44:08,399 --> 02:44:17,800 do have them on the line so also thank you Jason um Johnson for your patience 1908 02:44:14,800 --> 02:44:25,319 and we also have bander um the design engineer or maybe he's maybe he's not in 1909 02:44:19,880 --> 02:44:32,040 the call um but uh Jason can you hear us yep loud and clear Jaden great okay 1910 02:44:28,080 --> 02:44:37,600 thanks a lot for joining um so this report um is on the William Street 1911 02:44:34,800 --> 02:44:43,479 sewage pumping station uh an update on the project the design work that we've 1912 02:44:39,960 --> 02:44:51,479 been working on um and an update on the engineering cost um um so as Council may 1913 02:44:47,359 --> 02:44:58,520 recall um we did bring a report to Council in July 2023 on the William 1914 02:44:55,399 --> 02:45:03,760 Street pumping station forcan um engineering and design contract and we 1915 02:45:01,120 --> 02:45:09,640 did award that contract to Dylan Consulting um to design the upgrade of 1916 02:45:07,279 --> 02:45:14,640 the pumping station and the Force main um that were nearing capacity and we 1917 02:45:11,720 --> 02:45:20,279 needed to um get upgraded to support all the growth that's coming up to Elsa C 1918 02:45:16,560 --> 02:45:27,080 and naron um so Dylan was awarded the engineering contract at a total cost of 1919 02:45:24,080 --> 02:45:27,080 125,000 1920 02:45:27,600 --> 02:45:33,640 h7220 and then since awarding that contract we've been working with 1921 02:45:30,800 --> 02:45:39,600 Consulting on the design of this project um we've made some good progress on the 1922 02:45:36,680 --> 02:45:44,920 project um the design has been um Advanced to a 50% design level and we've 1923 02:45:42,680 --> 02:45:50,439 received um a submitt package including a design report cost estimate and 1924 02:45:47,200 --> 02:45:53,439 preliminary design drawings um so that information is provided within the 1925 02:45:51,880 --> 02:45:57,960 report um 1926 02:45:54,960 --> 02:46:04,600 the um as as Dylan's been working on the project the the engineering scope has 1927 02:46:00,560 --> 02:46:09,520 expanded somewhat um and there's been some additional engineering design work 1928 02:46:06,920 --> 02:46:16,279 that we did not originally anticipate having to do as we got into the details 1929 02:46:13,439 --> 02:46:22,160 um so that is summarized within the report and um the two primary items 1930 02:46:19,880 --> 02:46:28,120 there are the design of a new Equalization tank or an EQ tank and the 1931 02:46:25,560 --> 02:46:34,439 purpose of the EQ tank is to address capacity limitations at the wastewater 1932 02:46:31,479 --> 02:46:41,319 treatment plant itself and the purpose of that tank is to store Wastewater 1933 02:46:37,760 --> 02:46:45,720 during Peak flow periods um to control it and discharge control the discharge 1934 02:46:43,520 --> 02:46:52,319 the plant at a rate that can handle um and there's also um we've 1935 02:46:49,600 --> 02:46:59,520 decided to complete electrical upgrades at the William Street site um to provide 1936 02:46:55,760 --> 02:47:03,200 a dedicated power feed uh and and backup power to that site it's currently it's 1937 02:47:01,680 --> 02:47:08,920 actually fed from the wastewater treatment plant through a conduit that 1938 02:47:05,640 --> 02:47:13,600 runs under the Sao River um uh so Dylan Consulting has provided 1939 02:47:11,560 --> 02:47:20,439 an updated cost estimate with the design package as I noted um and the 1940 02:47:16,560 --> 02:47:26,560 construction cost estimate has increased significantly um to $6.8 1941 02:47:23,240 --> 02:47:31,240 million um based on Dylan's Class C cost estimate which is provided in table one 1942 02:47:29,000 --> 02:47:36,920 of the report um and I just wanted just talking 1943 02:47:34,680 --> 02:47:42,040 about the uh the cost a little bit more this project was previously identified 1944 02:47:39,520 --> 02:47:46,319 in our development charges background study because it's certainly a growth 1945 02:47:44,200 --> 02:47:53,000 related project that development charges pay a large portion of um so in the 2022 1946 02:47:50,640 --> 02:48:02,399 study this projects included the capital cost of 1.16 million and we are 1947 02:47:58,720 --> 02:48:07,880 currently working on a 20123 2024 update to the DC background study with Watson 1948 02:48:05,120 --> 02:48:14,640 Associates and with the information we had available at that time we increased 1949 02:48:10,680 --> 02:48:17,200 the project cost to 2.97 million um however 1950 02:48:15,520 --> 02:48:23,560 as the designs developed the cost has obviously went up substantially since 1951 02:48:19,200 --> 02:48:28,240 then so um moving forward with this project we we are um going to continue 1952 02:48:26,200 --> 02:48:33,800 to develop the detail design building Consulting um we're going to review the 1953 02:48:30,960 --> 02:48:38,080 cost increase with Watson Associates now as we're still going through the DC 1954 02:48:35,040 --> 02:48:41,920 study to see if there's possibility to update that to make sure we're capturing 1955 02:48:40,279 --> 02:48:45,920 the proper development charges towards this upgrade based on the current cost 1956 02:48:44,160 --> 02:48:49,479 estimate and we're going to continue to work with Dillan Consulting to confirm 1957 02:48:47,319 --> 02:48:53,439 where we're at with capacity here um you know how many more homes we can get out 1958 02:48:50,720 --> 02:48:59,160 of this pumping station um and then we are also looking at a um funding 1959 02:48:56,880 --> 02:49:07,040 application through the the province's housing enabling Water Systems fund um 1960 02:49:02,880 --> 02:49:13,319 which funds these types of projects um and then just the um Dillan Consulting 1961 02:49:10,520 --> 02:49:19,120 has requested a a budget increase for their engineering contract of 1962 02:49:16,120 --> 02:49:25,120 $50,000 to address the additional design scope as outlined in the report and in 1963 02:49:22,040 --> 02:49:29,680 the attached scope change document so that 50,000 increase would bring the 1964 02:49:27,080 --> 02:49:35,960 total contract price to 175,000 1965 02:49:31,920 --> 02:49:39,040 $722 excluding HST and um we will I'll turn it over to council thank 1966 02:49:43,720 --> 02:49:46,720 you 1967 02:49:47,680 --> 02:49:54,359 I was going to repeat John's question from the last one how are we going to 1968 02:49:51,840 --> 02:49:54,359 pay for 1969 02:49:57,520 --> 02:50:07,560 this I I think uh Jaden did touch on that and we've applied for a grant to 1970 02:50:04,160 --> 02:50:11,200 this we haven't applied yet but there is should say we're apply uh I'll be 1971 02:50:09,200 --> 02:50:16,960 bringing a report or Jaden or I will be bringing a report there is a a funding 1972 02:50:14,080 --> 02:50:22,920 opportunity out there right now through the province and Jaden alluded to it the 1973 02:50:19,319 --> 02:50:26,840 housing enabling Water Systems fund U they 1974 02:50:23,680 --> 02:50:35,160 fund um 67% of a project up to 35 million um so 1975 02:50:31,520 --> 02:50:42,040 our portion will be the 20 it's 27% um and uh we would make that 1976 02:50:39,040 --> 02:50:46,760 application by April the 18th uh I don't know the turnaround time but it's all 1977 02:50:43,880 --> 02:50:52,680 related to to housing that would be directly um housing opportunities that 1978 02:50:50,520 --> 02:50:58,439 would be directly related to doing the works so we know that we have a variety 1979 02:50:55,920 --> 02:51:05,359 of housing opportunities happening and Ela Craig and there's a new one on the 1980 02:51:01,319 --> 02:51:10,319 Verizon for n as well so hopefully uh with that and in light of all of that 1981 02:51:08,520 --> 02:51:18,560 and making application we might be successful but there's no 1982 02:51:13,560 --> 02:51:23,359 guarantee okay so so I just wanted to I I asked Jon this question and maybe this 1983 02:51:21,160 --> 02:51:29,720 is for Jason I believe this question and that 1984 02:51:24,520 --> 02:51:35,680 is can this project be split up into two or three different sections like the the 1985 02:51:33,000 --> 02:51:40,319 William Street actual pumping station and then I know there's the part in the 1986 02:51:37,920 --> 02:51:45,520 plant as well the tank you're talking about also the line this is also 1987 02:51:43,520 --> 02:51:52,960 including a new line that goes under the river so is can this be split like can 1988 02:51:48,520 --> 02:51:52,960 the cost and the the project be split 1989 02:51:53,520 --> 02:52:03,439 out if I if I may your your worship I I could answer that if you'd like yes 1990 02:51:59,120 --> 02:52:07,080 please yeah so um I I maybe just want to step back one step before I answer the 1991 02:52:05,200 --> 02:52:12,840 phasing question and just maybe part of the reason why this scope change came 1992 02:52:09,880 --> 02:52:18,040 about um initially we had made the assumption that the waste water 1993 02:52:14,680 --> 02:52:22,960 treatment plant would be equal to or greater than the capacity of the William 1994 02:52:20,560 --> 02:52:28,479 Street Pump Station which is generally sort of you know industry standard uh 1995 02:52:25,640 --> 02:52:33,040 when when a a collection system drains to a pump station that Outlets directly 1996 02:52:30,760 --> 02:52:38,359 to a wastewater treatment plant generally they're upgraded designed in 1997 02:52:35,520 --> 02:52:43,080 tandem uh they should sort of meet uh one another's capacity and unfortunately 1998 02:52:41,359 --> 02:52:47,800 as we dug into the details of this project we found out that that the uh 1999 02:52:45,200 --> 02:52:55,080 wastewater treatment plant capacity is actually less than the pumping station 2000 02:52:52,960 --> 02:53:01,760 and uh there's some some complexities there as it relates to average day flows 2001 02:52:58,640 --> 02:53:06,399 and Peak flows and so that's essentially where we're running into some issues 2002 02:53:03,800 --> 02:53:11,720 with uh trying to upgrade the pump station but it's it's already capable of 2003 02:53:09,640 --> 02:53:16,000 pumping more than the treat treatment plant can handle but the Force main is 2004 02:53:14,439 --> 02:53:22,399 is not the correct size and it's 2005 02:53:19,720 --> 02:53:28,040 um it's a bit complicated but I guess the short answer is that it could be 2006 02:53:24,279 --> 02:53:34,720 phased probably into I would say roughly two major phases the first phase would 2007 02:53:31,479 --> 02:53:40,239 have to include the new pumping station and the Force 2008 02:53:36,160 --> 02:53:44,800 main um out of the entire cost it would probably shave maybe two two and a half 2009 02:53:42,160 --> 02:53:51,000 million off of the total to do that first piece 2010 02:53:47,520 --> 02:53:55,359 um and then the second phase I would say you could do the EQ tank in the vve 2011 02:53:53,120 --> 02:54:02,040 chamber which is sort of the site work on the wastewater treatment plant um to 2012 02:53:59,000 --> 02:54:07,880 and basically this is sort of a a medium-term 2013 02:54:03,439 --> 02:54:12,279 uh solution that that buys you time before you have to do a full-blown 2014 02:54:09,520 --> 02:54:16,760 wastewater treatment plant uh expansion um 2015 02:54:15,640 --> 02:54:21,479 I don't know if that answer your question mayor 2016 02:54:18,800 --> 02:54:26,640 um well it it does uh you're telling me it could be could be two phases it could 2017 02:54:24,319 --> 02:54:31,920 be two phases but the first phase unfortunately like no matter what has to 2018 02:54:29,040 --> 02:54:37,200 include the force man and the pumping station yeah okay and I do know that uh 2019 02:54:35,359 --> 02:54:41,880 a few years ago we did have a leak on that Forest main uh down in the flats 2020 02:54:40,239 --> 02:54:46,279 before it went through the uh to the river so we certainly want I have 2021 02:54:44,399 --> 02:54:50,760 another question before I turn it and that 2022 02:54:47,200 --> 02:54:55,920 is if we did another Force main going through there could that that force mean 2023 02:54:53,080 --> 02:55:00,520 that's there now be used as a I'll call it a backup or whatever 2024 02:54:58,160 --> 02:55:04,120 to you know if there was a problem or is that or you better just to decommission 2025 02:55:02,600 --> 02:55:12,239 it and forget about if if I can your mayor um the 2026 02:55:09,359 --> 02:55:18,600 existing Force main was leaking unfortunately uh it it was replaced um 2027 02:55:15,800 --> 02:55:23,840 but with the same size diameter unfortunately I I just it was before my 2028 02:55:21,439 --> 02:55:29,960 time I don't know that there was any engineering or design behind that I mean 2029 02:55:26,520 --> 02:55:34,760 if a 250 or 12 in would have been put in you you would have been laughing here 2030 02:55:32,120 --> 02:55:40,840 but unfortunately it was replaced with a newer material but it's only 6 in it's 2031 02:55:37,760 --> 02:55:44,160 it's drastically undersized so even if we increase the horsepower and the 2032 02:55:42,279 --> 02:55:50,120 pumping rate we can only Jam so much flow through there so yeah it's it's 2033 02:55:47,560 --> 02:55:54,239 it's I would suggest it's uh abandoned and replaced like upside yeah all right 2034 02:55:52,600 --> 02:55:58,000 thank you I just was trying to figure out what options you know what options 2035 02:55:55,920 --> 02:56:03,239 do we have and that type of thing this this one of course hurts because none of 2036 02:55:59,800 --> 02:56:08,479 us were aware until recently about uh about this particular project but um so 2037 02:56:06,600 --> 02:56:15,239 other questions from Council on this councelor Tio thank you Mayor Rob 2038 02:56:12,239 --> 02:56:21,279 Carolyn on our grant application it would only be a one-time Grant is that 2039 02:56:17,720 --> 02:56:26,080 correct or sorry not a grant but funding we couldn't do that in two parts it 2040 02:56:22,960 --> 02:56:31,880 would be a one time or one offer right if we applied for it um we would be 2041 02:56:28,640 --> 02:56:35,720 doing it all at once um we could maybe phase it within the time frame of the 2042 02:56:33,720 --> 02:56:41,279 grant but it would have to be completed within the time frame of the grant which 2043 02:56:37,040 --> 02:56:46,239 is by 2027 so basically all at once so what it be advantageous 2044 02:56:43,080 --> 02:56:51,239 to wait to hear back before we make any move on this to see if we are eligible 2045 02:56:48,600 --> 02:56:51,239 for any type of 2046 02:56:51,399 --> 02:57:00,120 funding and the ask here tonight is to uh in increase the engineering fees 2047 02:56:57,840 --> 02:57:04,439 correct that is the ask here tonight through your worship yeah the just to 2048 02:57:02,680 --> 02:57:10,840 bring an update on the project Council and um to present council with dillings 2049 02:57:08,279 --> 02:57:15,000 scope than Caroline and if I can add to that to be successful with the grant 2050 02:57:13,239 --> 02:57:20,439 they're looking for projects that are ready to go so completing the 2051 02:57:17,359 --> 02:57:27,680 engineering work would make us more more eligible for funding they want 2052 02:57:23,720 --> 02:57:33,640 things that are ready to go follow up would the engineering be done by the 2053 02:57:29,760 --> 02:57:37,279 time this application is submitted or I guess would have to 2054 02:57:35,000 --> 02:57:41,840 be through your worship that the engineering does not have to be done um 2055 02:57:40,080 --> 02:57:44,920 in time for the applications my understanding we had the opportunity to 2056 02:57:43,359 --> 02:57:49,120 sit in a webinar get some information about it um so it's good the engineering 2057 02:57:47,160 --> 02:57:55,200 is underway but it doesn't have to be done um prior to the application yes 2058 02:57:52,720 --> 02:58:02,000 what I meant by that was that the more we could keep continue to move it ahead 2059 02:57:57,439 --> 02:58:08,120 the better it is for us um and uh and in fact with this grant the uh engineering 2060 02:58:05,439 --> 02:58:12,680 that we've already done I think up until forget what the date was um the 2061 02:58:10,760 --> 02:58:17,640 pre-engineering some of that cost will actually be covered by the grant 2062 02:58:15,520 --> 02:58:21,680 question okay Council Irwin uh again two questions your 2063 02:58:19,720 --> 02:58:26,920 worship through you um I'll ask the easy one first uh the $50,000 additional 2064 02:58:24,800 --> 02:58:30,000 engineering cost will that come through development charge 2065 02:58:34,760 --> 02:58:41,399 fund an answer we don't have an answer to that right now maybe we'll have to 2066 02:58:39,160 --> 02:58:47,840 look that up for you certainly we'd have to Ure that this is directly related to 2067 02:58:44,040 --> 02:58:52,760 to uh increase development um I think that that could certainly be suggested 2068 02:58:49,920 --> 02:58:56,359 that the upgrades are part of that but I'd have to look at our development 2069 02:58:54,600 --> 02:59:00,800 charge B I'm not sure um how much related to the dillian 2070 02:58:59,040 --> 02:59:05,600 street pumping station was put in there so it's my reluctance well okay I'll 2071 02:59:04,319 --> 02:59:09,120 wait for the answer but it makes sense to me but anyways the second one is a 2072 02:59:07,160 --> 02:59:17,359 little more difficult and a little more political what's the impact of this um 2073 02:59:13,319 --> 02:59:17,359 project in terms of the assol 2074 02:59:20,239 --> 02:59:29,800 subdiv um you may recall that um in 2075 02:59:27,319 --> 02:59:34,760 2023 we did tell them there was certain amount of capacity available for them 2076 02:59:32,359 --> 02:59:39,680 and they have gone ahead based on that but there is not enough capacity to 2077 02:59:37,520 --> 02:59:44,560 complete their Project without doing this 2078 02:59:41,399 --> 02:59:47,960 work I I think I'll I'll go we have to keep the project moving there's no 2079 02:59:46,560 --> 02:59:51,720 question with the engineer we have to keep this project 2080 02:59:49,239 --> 02:59:57,720 moving to get to where we need to be but that's any more questions 2081 02:59:54,600 --> 03:00:02,720 Council any more Council 2082 02:59:59,800 --> 03:00:08,720 Deo when the current plant was engineered that land was all taken into 2083 03:00:05,359 --> 03:00:08,720 account as development 2084 03:00:09,680 --> 03:00:20,640 land why and and assigned to all along Queen Street out to naron to different 2085 03:00:18,319 --> 03:00:22,920 properties why all of a sudden have we got 2086 03:00:25,000 --> 03:00:31,960 nothing I I we don't have have an answer for what is being thought of at that 2087 03:00:30,920 --> 03:00:35,060 time [Music] 2088 03:00:38,200 --> 03:00:48,120 um what was that oh Jason 2089 03:00:44,439 --> 03:00:54,880 if you'd like I could take a stab please take a stab at that um the the the work 2090 03:00:51,279 --> 03:01:00,720 that was done bit prior uh I Believe by kmk was close to what 20 years ago close 2091 03:00:59,120 --> 03:01:08,439 to 20 years ago so it looked at a 20-year growth Horizon and what where 2092 03:01:04,200 --> 03:01:13,760 we're at 20 years later it it just doesn't seem to jive with the new 2093 03:01:11,279 --> 03:01:19,520 numbers we're coming up at so like where the exercise that we went through was 2094 03:01:15,840 --> 03:01:24,200 all of the proposed development that's currently on the table in front of 2095 03:01:21,880 --> 03:01:28,359 council or that we feel would be upcoming or very highly likely to be 2096 03:01:26,399 --> 03:01:33,880 developed and both naron and Elsa Craig was all uh considered and that's 2097 03:01:31,560 --> 03:01:39,479 essentially what we're working towards for the ultimate design of the new 2098 03:01:36,239 --> 03:01:49,720 William Street pumping station but the current capacity of the plant is is 2099 03:01:44,239 --> 03:01:49,720 um drastically less than that 2100 03:01:53,200 --> 03:02:02,600 um okay I will I guess I I I will add that as part of these improvements um at 2101 03:02:00,640 --> 03:02:07,080 whatever point the municipality does proceed and and the new pump station 2102 03:02:05,200 --> 03:02:13,960 gets uh constructed uh in the initial stages 2103 03:02:10,760 --> 03:02:20,040 um there will only be sort of a minim amount of capacity 2104 03:02:16,040 --> 03:02:23,960 granted uh or made available but this still has to happen because the pump 2105 03:02:22,239 --> 03:02:28,359 station Force main and wastewater treatment plant sort of all need to be 2106 03:02:26,600 --> 03:02:33,920 Apples to Apples orange to oranges and they're not right now it's all three 2107 03:02:30,479 --> 03:02:40,160 components that don't work well together they're not really designed to be 2108 03:02:35,319 --> 03:02:44,640 compatible so the new pump station would be enough capacity and pumps and wet 2109 03:02:42,439 --> 03:02:50,479 well to be good enough for the next 75 years same for the forest main um but 2110 03:02:47,479 --> 03:02:56,439 that doesn't do anything for the wastewater treatment plant but after 2111 03:02:53,040 --> 03:03:01,840 that is done I would highly recommend that the municipality uh look at an ey 2112 03:02:59,200 --> 03:03:07,080 and I study because there's approximately six liters a second that 2113 03:03:04,680 --> 03:03:14,600 we're seeing um come into the wastewater treatment plant as rainwater or inflow 2114 03:03:10,239 --> 03:03:20,120 and infiltration so um it once the municipality does phase one I I would 2115 03:03:17,840 --> 03:03:24,960 highly recommend that in that same time you address or try to address the inii 2116 03:03:22,760 --> 03:03:30,840 issues and the more inii that you can get out of the system before you decide 2117 03:03:28,200 --> 03:03:34,880 you know or move forward with a Final Phase that might be a treatment plant 2118 03:03:32,520 --> 03:03:40,279 upgrade you could find by pulling catch basins and you know roof water leaders 2119 03:03:37,000 --> 03:03:46,800 out of the sanitary um will be a much more economical way to find 2120 03:03:44,680 --> 03:03:51,080 capacity I think that's a great Point Jason and we hadn't talked about that 2121 03:03:48,520 --> 03:03:55,640 here at Council yet but uh we did talk about it at committee that we have a lot 2122 03:03:53,560 --> 03:04:00,120 of rainwater coming into our system and it really shows council's seen that on 2123 03:03:58,040 --> 03:04:04,680 the uh the peak flows and stuff after a heavy rain event when Aqua brings a 2124 03:04:02,520 --> 03:04:10,840 report so I think that's a great Point made that we have to address that as 2125 03:04:07,760 --> 03:04:14,760 well is there any other questions here if not we have a recommendation in 2126 03:04:13,080 --> 03:04:19,120 front of uh to receive it as information but also 2127 03:04:16,560 --> 03:04:27,040 to increase the uh engineering $50,000 to the L price of 2128 03:04:23,439 --> 03:04:35,200 $175,700 moveed by councelor D seconded by councel heel all in favor carried 2129 03:04:31,160 --> 03:04:37,359 thank you thank you thanks Jason thank you 2130 03:04:37,880 --> 03:04:42,000 mayor okay I think that's your last 2131 03:04:42,359 --> 03:04:49,200 report you got one 2132 03:04:46,160 --> 03:04:56,399 more yeah no no but I mean that's your last okay Brandon you have a 2133 03:04:53,439 --> 03:05:02,080 report thanks thanks Rod thanks for coming 2134 03:04:58,040 --> 03:05:07,239 Rod Mar members of council the uh report in front of you is to do with the score 2135 03:05:04,520 --> 03:05:12,359 clock project that was approved December of 2023 to move forward with council's 2136 03:05:10,600 --> 03:05:17,680 wish at that time was for staff to come up with a sponsorship method to try and 2137 03:05:14,960 --> 03:05:24,040 fund the score clock um at least a large portion of it um myself and Felicia have 2138 03:05:21,800 --> 03:05:30,560 come up with a sponsorship campaign to try and fund that score clock as you can 2139 03:05:26,880 --> 03:05:35,319 see in the report um there are multiple options that we've come up with 2140 03:05:32,200 --> 03:05:38,520 including the most lucrative one the title sponsorship which would provideing 2141 03:05:37,399 --> 03:05:43,640 rights to the arena as Council may be aware we have 2142 03:05:41,560 --> 03:05:46,880 rfpd for naming rights in the past and been successful in attaining anyone for 2143 03:05:46,160 --> 03:05:54,279 that service um with the Platinum sponsor the 2144 03:05:50,600 --> 03:05:58,600 Olympia ice resurfacer WP is included this is also a project that has been 2145 03:05:56,000 --> 03:06:04,279 rfpd in the past and been unsuccessful staff's belief is that 2146 03:06:02,000 --> 03:06:11,399 going into a blind tender process May deter some businesses from going after 2147 03:06:07,560 --> 03:06:17,920 these these opportunities so putting a value on it which they know will make 2148 03:06:14,760 --> 03:06:24,120 them more likely to take that sponsorship most of the sponsorships 2149 03:06:20,120 --> 03:06:28,279 were designed um with what's included in them and then having a certain margin 2150 03:06:26,279 --> 03:06:33,520 over top like a board sign for five years versus a sports field for f Sports 2151 03:06:31,479 --> 03:06:39,279 field signed for five years in silver sponsorship if you take the numbers on 2152 03:06:36,040 --> 03:06:47,880 those actual sponsorships you and add both uh percentage just it's pretty much 2153 03:06:42,840 --> 03:06:51,279 in with each other so the added added sponsor will be a public skate and then 2154 03:06:49,760 --> 03:06:54,680 having your name on a plaque as you enter the arena we already have a donor 2155 03:06:52,760 --> 03:06:59,760 board for the arena so a separate plaque on there that basically indicates our 2156 03:06:57,040 --> 03:07:08,239 scoreboard was brought to you by title sponsor X Platinum sponsor y gold 2157 03:07:02,800 --> 03:07:12,560 sponsor ABCDEF silver sponsor abcdf Etc so if there's any 2158 03:07:09,920 --> 03:07:16,600 questions happy to answer questions for Brandon 2159 03:07:14,040 --> 03:07:19,399 counc irn then counc Nera did I hear you correctly you're going to put an RFP out 2160 03:07:18,479 --> 03:07:25,359 for fundraising uh no it's not an RFP it it 2161 03:07:22,359 --> 03:07:32,479 is the sponsorship package indicated in the I heard the term rfps so in the past 2162 03:07:29,479 --> 03:07:36,319 when we wanted a a naming right sponsor it wasn't a fundraiser it was just for 2163 03:07:34,160 --> 03:07:40,720 naming rights of the Arena we put out an an art like a request for tender for the 2164 03:07:38,800 --> 03:07:44,920 highest bidder would get their name on The Arena so RFP because it would be a 2165 03:07:43,720 --> 03:07:49,920 proposal this is what I would like to name the arena at this cost across this 2166 03:07:47,279 --> 03:07:52,760 many years this is what I would like in and we were unsuccessful just just 2167 03:07:51,560 --> 03:07:57,800 through your work certainly we're not going to try that again no what I'm 2168 03:07:55,399 --> 03:08:01,120 suggesting is this is this is a package that would be approved and we would try 2169 03:07:59,439 --> 03:08:06,560 and sell that sponsor thank you okay councelor Nera 2170 03:08:04,720 --> 03:08:12,399 and Brandon what happens if we don't get the the money to for the scoreboard how 2171 03:08:10,120 --> 03:08:16,080 will you be securing funding for that through grants 2172 03:08:13,640 --> 03:08:19,960 through uh certainly I would plan on bringing a report back to council 2173 03:08:17,840 --> 03:08:24,479 probably at the end of April to identify where we're at in this campaign and then 2174 03:08:22,399 --> 03:08:28,319 test council's appetite if we've if we fundraised 2175 03:08:25,760 --> 03:08:32,800 40,000 um I would bring that back and see where councils appetite to proceed 2176 03:08:30,080 --> 03:08:38,239 the project is my belief is that we will be successful in fundraising more than 2177 03:08:35,720 --> 03:08:42,520 that just a follow-up comment and Brandon I just want to thank you for 2178 03:08:39,920 --> 03:08:45,720 coming up with ideas to get money and not for ask Council for 2179 03:08:47,640 --> 03:08:54,319 money counc canelon thank you Mayor Rob well Brandon I'm excited about this uh 2180 03:08:52,680 --> 03:08:58,040 the pro proposal you have brought forward and I think I think you will be 2181 03:08:55,920 --> 03:09:01,760 successful and I look forward to hearing positive 2182 03:08:59,319 --> 03:09:07,160 updates and just one final note on it any title sponsor um will come back to 2183 03:09:05,120 --> 03:09:11,239 Council in in the form of an agreement that outlines um the naming rights 2184 03:09:09,600 --> 03:09:16,399 agreement which is quite common for other municipalities rights 2185 03:09:13,840 --> 03:09:20,520 there okay any other any other questions on that okay we have a motion in front 2186 03:09:18,520 --> 03:09:25,200 of us to approve the sponsorship methods outlined in the report moved by 2187 03:09:23,040 --> 03:09:34,560 councelor Nera seconded by Deputy Mayor hodgin all in favor carried thank you 2188 03:09:29,600 --> 03:09:34,560 thank you we're already at passing of 2189 03:09:39,439 --> 03:09:44,920 accounts that's the liveliest council's been for a while when I said 2190 03:09:44,960 --> 03:09:51,439 okay passing of accounts thank you your worship the 2191 03:09:49,760 --> 03:09:56,600 report in front of you outlines the municipality's expenses for the period 2192 03:09:53,520 --> 03:10:00,560 of January 12th through to February 1st for a total of $780,000 2193 03:10:01,080 --> 03:10:09,359 18379 I have received um questions from members of council that I would like to 2194 03:10:06,160 --> 03:10:13,800 share with all of council so the first question is the payment of 2195 03:10:11,840 --> 03:10:19,760 176,000 894 to middlex Center for the cul is 2196 03:10:17,840 --> 03:10:24,960 that the total cost to the municipality so this is the total cost 2197 03:10:22,760 --> 03:10:28,640 to the municipality so the total cost for the project was $ 2198 03:10:29,319 --> 03:10:39,239 313,50 so the 50% share to the municipality is the 2199 03:10:34,760 --> 03:10:47,160 15654 and that is the total cost for the project the second question is um the 2200 03:10:43,720 --> 03:10:52,600 payment to Elgen County um for I'll I'll read the exact question 2201 03:10:50,439 --> 03:10:57,640 for the exact same thing hasmat operations awareness um for 452 both on 2202 03:10:56,600 --> 03:11:03,960 December 31st um why did we pay them twice for 2203 03:11:00,960 --> 03:11:10,880 the same service uh the there is the second part of the question um is that 2204 03:11:07,800 --> 03:11:18,920 we are paying for two personnel as well um help me understand this expense so uh 2205 03:11:15,800 --> 03:11:23,680 basically uh the expense here is for training for some of our 2206 03:11:21,000 --> 03:11:31,439 firefighters um that was done through Elgen County um there were one two three 2207 03:11:28,439 --> 03:11:38,680 four different courses that some of our firefighters attended um the first one 2208 03:11:35,319 --> 03:11:43,720 is a fire instructor one course that was attended by one of our firefighters 2209 03:11:40,720 --> 03:11:49,920 Casey wall uh the second second one is public information officer course that 2210 03:11:46,399 --> 03:11:55,000 was attended by Scott dones and Victoria Constantine and then this this one here 2211 03:11:52,479 --> 03:12:00,399 in regards to the Hazmat awareness operations um yes there were two 2212 03:11:57,560 --> 03:12:04,239 payments um the reason that there was two payments and they were not all 2213 03:12:01,960 --> 03:12:09,479 included in the same payment was because it was on two different dates two 2214 03:12:06,920 --> 03:12:13,680 different dates so we had one firefighter attend one session and a 2215 03:12:12,000 --> 03:12:18,000 different firefighter attend with the other session and Elgen County invoices 2216 03:12:16,800 --> 03:12:25,000 per course and then the third one is for uh 2217 03:12:21,479 --> 03:12:29,880 Fire officer 4 and Scott Jones uh attended that um course as 2218 03:12:30,760 --> 03:12:39,600 well the next question is regarding the payment to Anderson 2219 03:12:37,040 --> 03:12:45,720 electronic um it says the description says annual inspections to what so this 2220 03:12:43,520 --> 03:12:51,239 is the annual inspection of the fire alarm and emergency lighting at 11 2221 03:12:49,399 --> 03:12:56,120 different facilities within the municipality so the Elsa Craig Community 2222 03:12:53,720 --> 03:13:01,359 Center the Elsa Craig Library the Elsa Craig Medical Center this building the 2223 03:12:59,319 --> 03:13:05,960 Carnegie Library the Park Hill medical center the Leisure Club the Park Hill 2224 03:13:03,800 --> 03:13:10,600 Community Center the Park Hill Arena the West Williams Hall as well as the old 2225 03:13:08,279 --> 03:13:10,600 town 2226 03:13:10,720 --> 03:13:19,160 hall and the last question question um is not regarding um these accounts but 2227 03:13:17,640 --> 03:13:24,359 it was a question that was brought up at the last meeting in January and it was 2228 03:13:22,239 --> 03:13:30,160 regarding uh the additional dollar amount for the fire hall um so was that 2229 03:13:27,560 --> 03:13:34,279 amount included in your previous project cost report or is it over and above what 2230 03:13:33,120 --> 03:13:39,439 we saw previously I will let Brandon speak to 2231 03:13:37,200 --> 03:13:39,439 that 2232 03:13:40,080 --> 03:13:47,160 question so the last two bills would have been the November progress payment 2233 03:13:44,840 --> 03:13:52,239 as well as the December progress payment um portions of it are included 2234 03:13:50,000 --> 03:13:55,880 in the contract others would be over and above such as um you do ashalt you pay 2235 03:13:54,840 --> 03:14:00,359 an AC adjustment um that cost is never 2236 03:13:59,040 --> 03:14:03,319 budgeted for because they don't know what the adjustment is going to be 2237 03:14:01,720 --> 03:14:09,000 typically if you pay in November it's a little bit higher um some of the other 2238 03:14:06,520 --> 03:14:12,720 costs were over the allowances already so our testing allowance we kind of blew 2239 03:14:11,000 --> 03:14:17,560 out of the water with the contaminated soils so any testing for ashalt 2240 03:14:15,560 --> 03:14:22,960 compaction we were already over but they needed to be done um there's also some 2241 03:14:20,720 --> 03:14:27,439 that were credits back towards the contract um we had about $30,000 saved 2242 03:14:25,880 --> 03:14:31,760 on the fencing by delaying to the end of the project so that was a credit coming 2243 03:14:29,120 --> 03:14:36,720 back there are a couple outstanding items as well um we do have Hydro 2244 03:14:34,479 --> 03:14:42,279 Seating to be done still as well as top coat on the rear side of the fire hall 2245 03:14:40,000 --> 03:14:47,800 so those will come with an AC adjustment on that but the um Hydro seing will be 2246 03:14:45,960 --> 03:14:53,560 included in the contract and we have about 50,000 in allowance on that we're 2247 03:14:49,960 --> 03:14:55,680 expected to get back as well so hope that 2248 03:14:57,200 --> 03:15:02,080 helps is that all your questions that you had to 2249 03:15:02,720 --> 03:15:09,359 you yes your worship those

Estelle was that last question one I earlier yes it was okay 2252 03:15:21,239 --> 03:15:34,359 um do we know do we have any idea how many more dollars we need to finish this 2253 03:15:30,319 --> 03:15:38,680 with I would estimate that since I would say since the November 2254 03:15:36,640 --> 03:15:44,399 progress billing now that contract value that I brought you in the last report 2255 03:15:41,160 --> 03:15:44,399 will be higher than what we 2256 03:15:48,040 --> 03:15:55,160 okay other questions no other questions we need a 2257 03:15:53,239 --> 03:16:01,439 someone to make a

03:20:13,640 --> 03:20:18,880 something to add to that I know they've been on that road when it was too wet 2306 03:20:17,319 --> 03:20:23,040 like when it was very wet they've been on AR I don't know if they were the 2307 03:20:20,080 --> 03:20:27,800 whole length and I know they were doing they did the North End here yesterday 2308 03:20:26,239 --> 03:20:32,880 but they only the North End to

received some as well if I could actually just have an email sent to me 2311 03:20:39,720 --> 03:20:45,640 or a message that's what I mean but if you don't mind sending it to all the 2312 03:20:43,000 --> 03:20:49,239 council think I've been getting some of those same questions in order to cool 2313 03:20:47,199 --> 03:20:53,000 the conversation I said I would be in touch with them tomorrow yeah okay you I 2314 03:20:51,720 --> 03:20:58,120 think that's reasonable um other business councelor 2315 03:20:55,479 --> 03:21:02,640 canel you had some yes I do uh I would Echo councelor ke's concerns I also got 2316 03:20:59,800 --> 03:21:06,880 a call today about the road has been but when you drive over it once the pootles 2317 03:21:04,520 --> 03:21:11,479 magically reappear the other issue that I wanted to bring up is I had a call 2318 03:21:08,680 --> 03:21:14,920 today from someone who uh got their tax bill 2319 03:21:12,600 --> 03:21:18,640 but they asked if with the new format if the still automatic withdrawal still 2320 03:21:21,840 --> 03:21:29,000 applies uh thank you through your worship uh yes they do uh there was a 2321 03:21:26,720 --> 03:21:34,840 button that was not clicked in printing the paq notes on the tax notices but 2322 03:21:32,279 --> 03:21:41,000 rest assure all residents if you were registered in a p program you are still 2323 03:21:38,199 --> 03:21:45,520 registered in a p program as a followup to that and this is and I've already 2324 03:21:43,479 --> 03:21:50,560 sent an email to the chair of the policy committee uh I've got a couple of calls 2325 03:21:48,319 --> 03:21:55,840 from rate payers who attempted to contact the municipality and we're 2326 03:21:52,960 --> 03:22:00,080 unable to connect with anyone or leave a voice message because the mailbox is 2327 03:21:57,680 --> 03:22:03,359 full and I and I know we have a policy in terms of returning TOS to rirs I 2328 03:22:02,399 --> 03:22:07,560 believe was 40 but if mailboxes are full then we 2329 03:22:06,080 --> 03:22:11,399 need to do something about it and unfortunately this particular case I 2330 03:22:09,319 --> 03:22:15,800 believe it's uh someone who's not been available work because Illness but then 2331 03:22:14,920 --> 03:22:19,840 we have we have to make some accommodations for that we have to 2332 03:22:17,160 --> 03:22:26,040 address the issue so that people know what to do when they need to get a hold 2333 03:22:22,720 --> 03:22:31,479 of go ahead go ahead Estelle true your worship um you are correct it is the 2334 03:22:28,960 --> 03:22:39,040
