1
00:00:35,677 --> 00:00:39,599
Ladies and gentlemen. Good evening, and welcome
to the February 26th

2
00:00:39,599 --> 00:00:48,208
regular Council meeting. Histoire de noir.
La Mort de vivir. A la Mort de l'histoire

3
00:00:48,208 --> 00:00:53,713
de la noir. Important. It's an important opportunity
to recognize and honor the legacy

4
00:00:53,713 --> 00:00:58,685
and contributions of black individuals and
communities to the historical, social,

5
00:00:58,685 --> 00:01:03,000
cultural and economic development of our country.
This reminds us of the

6
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000
importance of diversity, inclusion, respect,
values that are central to the richness of

7
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:14,000
pointe. Claire and I congratulate them on their
30 years of fighting for all this.

8
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Nouvelle nomination de PC, VR. Remarkably,
the unity of the South volunteered the Pointe

9
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Claire. Celebrate and celebrate on this and
the service de Notre community. Since 1951,

10
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:40,000
these women and men have stepped in whenever
public health and safety are at stake,

11
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
their volunteer commitment is truly essential.
On this occasion, I would like to

12
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:51,000
recognize three important appointments within
the PC. First of all, Bruno Morelli has

13
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:59,000
been appointed captain Peter Cointreau. Nino
has been appointed assistant director

14
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:07,000
and Mariana for a hello has been appointed
director. She's the first woman to hold this

15
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,000
position 75 years. I apologize for the bad
pronunciations. None of them are easy names
for

16
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
me to pronounce, but congratulations on them
all. This is a service given to our

17
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,000
citizens that's absolutely outstanding. It's
the best kept secret in Pointe Claire. And

18
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,000
like I said, every time there's been an incident,
if it's a weather fire, whatever, they've

19
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
always stepped up to the plate. They are celebrating
75 years this year. We will make sure

20
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:37,000
that we do something remarkable to mark their
importance in our community. So on behalf of

21
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000
myself and the Council, thank you for all you
do and congratulations on these

22
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:47,000
appointments. We can on every winter weekend,
I invite you to take part in our Winter

23
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Carnival weekend, which will take place February
13th to 15th in three city parks Cedar

24
00:02:51,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Park Heights, Belmont and Northview. Le ambiance.
Celebrated. The full program is

25
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:15,000
available on the city website. Where ready.
The campaign read. We're ready. This campaign
aims

26
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,000
to raise awareness about heart disease in women,
which remains one of the leading causes of

27
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:34,000
death worldwide. Je vous vous invitation a
rouge du rouge. De cette course. So first of
all,

28
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000
it's been a really rough winter. It's been
a winter going back probably like 20 years
ago,

29
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000
when winters used to start in November. And
in the last ten years they've probably been

30
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,000
starting around November 15th. So we've had
a regular winter where it snows almost every
day,

31
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000
and it's not always the amount of snow. Sometimes
it'll be two inches or four or whatever, but

32
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,000
they still have to go out and still take some
just as much time to go around. And it's a

33
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,000
lot of work and there's been many, many different
conditions ice and melts and so on and so

34
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,000
forth. So I really want to thank them for their
time that they've spent. Some of us have

35
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,000
called and complained. But on the other hand,
when you look at the overall picture, they've

36
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,000
done an amazing job. There has been a shortage
of salt. You've probably heard about it on
the

37
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,000
news. So we've been very conscientious of that.
So we've been able to maintain our roads

38
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:22,000
the best we can with what we got. So that too
is a challenge. They've done a great job, and

39
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000
amongst all the snow and everything else they've
had to do, we've had of course, many,

40
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000
many water main breaks, which is normal. But
this winter has been exceptionally cold. Frost

41
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,000
goes deeper, so on and so forth. So amongst
all the snow removal and the blowing and everything

42
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:40,000
else, they had to fix the water main breaks
too. So really if you see them, thank them.
But

43
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,000
from myself and the council, thank you. You
guys are doing a great job. Spring is around
the

44
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,000
corner. I heard the I heard the guy came out
early, but it's going to be an early spring,

45
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,000
right? Okay, so that's my messages. I'd like
to go around the table and see if the

46
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,000
councilors have anything to say. Mr. Potvin.
Nothing this evening. Thank you, Cynthia

47
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Holman. >> Nothing this evening. >> Madam Demers.
Mr. Ludovic.

48
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:17,000
>> Me neither. Nothing tonight. >> Mr. Bruno
Tremblay. No. Zero. Mr. Suszynski.

49
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:25,000
>> Nothing this evening. Thank you. >> Merci
beaucoup. Legenda.

50
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:35,000
>> 1.1 adoption of the agenda. >> We have a
mover and a seconder, please.

51
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:41,000
>> Drew. Swidsinski district. >> All in favor?
>> Merci, merci.

52
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,000
>> To approve the minutes of the. Oh, yea.
To approve the minutes of the regular meeting

53
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,000
of January 13th, 2026. And of the special meetings
of January 20th and 22nd, 2026.

54
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,000
>> Mover and seconder, please. >> Andrew Swidsinski
just like Catherine.

55
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:08,000
>> All in favor? Merci. >> Can we answer the
the questions, Mr. mayor, from the

56
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:13,000
previous council meeting. >> Please do so.
>> We basically had three

57
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,000
questions that were left unanswered during
the previous meeting. I'll read out those

58
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,000
questions and then the responses. Question
number one, during the previous four years,

59
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,000
how much has the city spent on external lawyers
when there are disputes and grievances between

60
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,000
the city and city employees? The aggregate
expense on external lawyers for disputes

61
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:38,000
and grievances between the city of Pointe-Claire
and city employees was $496,324 between

62
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,000
2022 and 2025. It includes fees associated
with the renegotiation of collective

63
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:52,000
bargaining agreements, which is standard during
such process. More specifically, expenses

64
00:06:52,000 --> 00:07:07,000
have been on an annual basis in 2022, 62,121,
in 2023, 172,190 in 2024, 122,335 in 2025,

65
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:13,000
139,678. Question number one. Question number
two. How much was the accepted amount for the

66
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,000
call for tender for the renovations and upgrades
to the Public Works building, and how

67
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:22,000
much has it actually cost? The Public Works
Building renovation and expansion

68
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:32,000
project was granted at $24,518,482.22 taxes
included for expansion and renovation

69
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,000
projects of this magnitude, it is typically
standard to see total cost variations of

70
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:42,000
between 5 to 10%. The Public Works building
renovation and expansion was diligently and

71
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:48,000
rigorously managed. Its total project cost
variation fell below this threshold at 4.47%,

72
00:07:48,000 --> 00:08:00,000
for total project cost of $25,614,125.18. Question
number three. Consultation sur les

73
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:08,000
résultats des activités pour la disposition
des citoyens et histoire de chacun des

74
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,000
activités, des rapports de activités sur
la plateforme. Web de consultation

75
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Pointe-Claire. Consult Sommaire. Des activités
de participation est également sur la plateforme.

76
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Comme aucune activité urbanism, vous trouverez
des informations sur les activités. La

77
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,000
documentation de la section Compléter sous
L'anglais révision des Urbanistes

78
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:37,000
information editions, so the information is
available on the city website. That is it.

79
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:56,000
>> Merci Mr. Girouard. >> So for question period,
the first person is Gary Carr.

80
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:03,000
>> Good evening. I have two questions. The
very quick and very fast. Number one, could
we

81
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:09,000
get an accounting from Montreal like Beaconsfield
did on the 210 million that we sent to

82
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:14,000
them on our services that we get from them?
>> Oh, absolutely.

83
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:21,000
>> Okay. Number two, for the vacant future
electric building on Hymas. Does anybody know
the

84
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:27,000
status of that building? >> I know what is
part of our there's been a lot of stuff

85
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,000
going on. There's been some people interested
in it. They've come to the city with

86
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,000
different projects, different ideas. As you
know, we're in reflection right now of a new

87
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:41,000
urban plan. The building is presently empty
and will be up to council in the near future

88
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,000
to decide if the zoning stays what it is, is
it going to change? But there's been no

89
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:56,000
decisions made on the right of way. Thank you,
thank you. >> Andrew Wilkins.

90
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,000
>> Good evening, Mayor and Councilors. Good
evening. I have two questions. First, one

91
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:07,000
is regarding the 2026 budget. Given that the
Montreal agglomeration contribution

92
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:15,000
expenses increased by 15.5 million, or 17%,
versus 2025, what legislation is currently

93
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:22,000
in effect to restrict annual contribution increases
levied by the agglomeration Council on

94
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:27,000
the city of Pointe-Claire? >> It's a great
question. It's been a question that we've been

95
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:33,000
trying to fight for over the last 20 years.
We have no control over that. They're

96
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,000
allowed to charge what they have to. What they
charge is based on the value of our city.

97
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,000
So for instance, the word so much so all the
city of Pointe-Claire has a value and

98
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:49,000
the taxes on that value. Okay. So in why it
went up so much this year was because our the

99
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,000
value of Pointe-Claire overall went up a lot,
and a lot of it was due to the industrial park,

100
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,000
the investments in industrial park in. And
I'm trying to keep it simple. But in the

101
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,000
residential field, what we do is we adjust.
When your house goes up, we adjust the mill

102
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,000
rate so we can come to a balance where it's
kind of reasonable to people can afford

103
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,000
it. The Montreal doesn't adjust the mill rate.
They've had this, this, this number, this

104
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,000
coefficient they've been using for years. And
they just keep using the same number which
is

105
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,000
beneficial to them. The only people that can
change that is the provincial government. We

106
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,000
have made a case to Montreal over the years
to the Quebec government over the years,

107
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:27,000
saying that it's what we're paying, we're not
getting what we pay for. And I can just

108
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,000
speak for myself when I say between 17 and
21, we established we did an audit and

109
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:38,000
it was established that we were getting about
$300 million worth of services, all the

110
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:43,000
major cities, but we're paying $450 million
collectively. We met with the mayor of Montreal.

111
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:49,000
This week was the first time the ASM, the city,
was able to sit down with her, and she

112
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:54,000
asked us that she liked to sit down and discuss
and understand the parties with us. So she
was

113
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:01,000
very open. She was willing to sit with us six
times during the year, which we've never met

114
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:06,000
in a mayor of Montreal over the years. He never
came to any of our meetings. So that's it will

115
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:11,000
be on the table. And, you know, one way or
another, it has to come to an end. And it's
about

116
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:17,000
capacity to pay. Right. And we just $106 million
this year. I think the biggest you know,

117
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,000
it's one thing to pay for if we're getting
services, we maybe wouldn't complain, but

118
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:26,000
we're not getting the services. So the long
story short, we're working on it and it's on
the

119
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000
table as we speak. >> All right. Thanks for
the answer. Next question is along

120
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:36,000
the same lines. Given that the mayor of given
that the mayors of the 14 reconstituted cities

121
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:42,000
on the island of Montreal together comprise
less than 15% of the vote on the

122
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:49,000
agglomeration Council, that Pointe-Claire residents
are now paying a record 58% of their

123
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:57,000
taxes to the agglomeration, and are ineligible
to vote for the Mayor of Montreal. What are

124
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:03,000
your plans to rectify this democratic deficit
for citizens of this city?

125
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:09,000
>> So just before the election in November,
I believe in the month of October or maybe
just

126
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:16,000
beginning of November, mayor Gibson from Kirkland,
mayor British from Centerville, and

127
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Alex Bertucci from due to the presence of the
ASM, went to Quebec City and made a

128
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:29,000
presentation. If you remember hearing in the
news the. The CMM is an association of the

129
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:34,000
urban all the urban planning in Montreal. So
Montreal was had control. They had the majority

130
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,000
vote on that association. So they got what
they wanted and they Quebec City took away

131
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,000
their majority and changed their voting structure
and get more power to some other cities.

132
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:50,000
So Montreal lost that. Hold on on the power
in that, in that meeting in Quebec City in

133
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:55,000
October with the other mayors, they've asked
the Quebec City to look at the same thing for

134
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,000
the ASM. So at least we'd have a say we'd have
a vote in my counts, because basically it's

135
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:04,000
like 85 against 15 all the time, right? So
we want to change that ratio. So at least maybe

136
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:09,000
we can get a few people together. We might
be able to win and have a majority and

137
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,000
stop some of these decisions being ruled in
by Montreal. So that's on the table that came

138
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:18,000
up recently. >> Thank you. Merci. >> Thank
you.

139
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:26,000
>> Ken Lyons. >> Good evening. A couple of
questions. First one, when is

140
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:31,000
the work going to start on the refurbishing
of the aquatic center?

141
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,000
>> I believe it's just going to tend to Rachel.
It's gone to tender. It's going to tender.

142
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:40,000
>> It will be going to tender. >> Yeah. And
it will be done this year though. And it will

143
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,000
be over many years because they're going to
keep the facility open while it's being

144
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,000
done. So it's been approved by council. They've
gone to tender. Now we're just waiting for

145
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:53,000
pricing to come in. >> Okay. Second question.
It's similar to another question was

146
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:59,000
posed, but I didn't understand everything concerning
future shop. You know the building is

147
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:07,000
well set back from the street. It's got beautiful
trees there, which is really a nice haven.

148
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,000
We missed a lights that we used to have at
Christmas time. It was beautiful and the place,

149
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:20,000
and now, I'm afraid, is that with the urban
plan that we have, which is allowing

150
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:27,000
multistory buildings, and what my big concern
is that we're going to lose that beautiful

151
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:32,000
frontage and it's going to be, you know, bricks,
brick walls, practically to the sidewalk. I

152
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:39,000
would certainly hope and ask that this City
Council has some pride in our past and the

153
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:44,000
beauty of our city and preserve that. >> I
mean, thank you for your

154
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,000
comments. I think we're all looking at options.
And there are there has been some

155
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:54,000
interest in that building because people have
come here to use it for different things.

156
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,000
So at least it looks like it won't be staying
empty for too long, which is a good thing.

157
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:03,000
But you know, that's just my gut feeling. But
you're you're concerns are taken to heart.

158
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:08,000
>> But what's your position. >> Might be you
know what? I don't know if I'm allowed to

159
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:13,000
take a position, but I absolutely love the
way it is right now. I love that that low

160
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,000
style building there in the green, I love it,
but that's not that's my only my opinion.

161
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,000
But hey, we'll it will be a council decision
will be made with the information from

162
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:26,000
experts, what we have to do and what will be
the best for the city of Pointe-Claire. So
we're

163
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:31,000
in no hurry to do it. But we're it's work in
progress. >> I'm hoping for the best.

164
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:43,000
Thank you. >> Chloe. Mohsen. >> Good evening.
My name is

165
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Chloe. I'm here on behalf of Wild Willy's.
My question is, following the resolution

166
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:56,000
adopted on January 13th regarding our application
for the property located at 98

167
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,020
Donegani Avenue, we are struggling to understand
how the safety concerns we formerly

168
00:17:00,020 --> 00:17:06,020
raised were addressed. The approved recommendations
require the removal of the only

169
00:17:06,020 --> 00:17:12,020
physical safety measures currently in place,
namely the interlocked fencing and the

170
00:17:12,020 --> 00:17:17,020
vehicle used as a buffer between the Taurus
and Donegani Avenue. Could Council please

171
00:17:17,020 --> 00:17:22,020
clarify how public safety considerations were
evaluated in this decision, particularly

172
00:17:22,020 --> 00:17:28,020
with respect to families and children, and
advise who we should engage with to obtain

173
00:17:28,020 --> 00:17:32,020
clear guidance on how an equivalent level of
safety is expected to be maintained

174
00:17:32,020 --> 00:17:38,020
moving forward. >> So yes. So last month, when
you got that decision of what

175
00:17:38,020 --> 00:17:44,020
was proposed or what wasn't allowed to be used,
that came from the traffic committee. The

176
00:17:44,020 --> 00:17:49,020
traffic committee is made up of an engineering
department, public works department, the

177
00:17:49,020 --> 00:17:55,020
police department. Who else? There's many,
many people on the committee, urban planning.

178
00:17:55,020 --> 00:18:00,080
And they looked at your proposal and they decided
to come up with the best practice,

179
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:05,080
what they thought to be the best practice in
the area is not an easy location to deal

180
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:10,080
with. You bring a different clientele, which
we super, super respect, and we're glad

181
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,080
that you're there and we understand the concerns.
A lot of kids coming down all those

182
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:18,080
streets, running across the street to get to
Wild Willy's, and there's the elderly people.

183
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:23,080
And yes, it's a, you know, it's a new it's
a new problem. In the village. There was a
big

184
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:27,080
plan. There still is a big plan to redo all
the donegani. But Montreal has put that on
hold

185
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,080
because we're waiting for some infrastructure
work to be done by Montreal before we do it.

186
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:38,080
But again, we want to come see him. Myself
in the Councilor Kelly, want to come see you
to

187
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,080
understand what they're telling you, what we
can see differently, maybe being on

188
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:47,080
site. And like I told you in the audience earlier
today, it came back up on the agenda with

189
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:53,080
the traffic committee. And we're looking our
biggest concern is what what can we do

190
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:58,080
short term to make that area secure? Long term
is another problem. But what can we do for

191
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,040
the spring when you open that there'll be measures
in place. So yes, it's a concern. You

192
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:07,040
know I know you've got a decision there. Can
we make it better? Can we change it.

193
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,040
Absolutely. But we need to have that discussion
and we'll be reaching out to you shortly.

194
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:23,040
>> Perfect. I'll be waiting for your visit.
Thank you. >> Karim. Mohsen.

195
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,040
>> And I have a couple of questions. First,
I have a follow up question to Chloe's

196
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:33,040
point. I don't understand how she can get a
decision when things are still being

197
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:39,040
discussed, but I'll let you ponder that or
think about that. The other things. The other

198
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:44,040
question I had was concerning some of the points
in the agenda. How can citizens get

199
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:49,040
visibility into what these points are? Because
they're very brief. And last time I was

200
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:55,040
here, you know, I saw things getting approved,
but we don't really know some of the nature

201
00:19:55,040 --> 00:20:01,000
of the the things that are being requested,
especially in urbanism. Right.

202
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,000
>> It's I'm not going to disagree with you.
It's about how much you can put on the

203
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,000
agenda, I guess, and the information they can
make public before the meeting. Can

204
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,000
the format be changed? Possibly. There's a
lot of information here. I know, I know, it's
not

205
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:18,000
an answer, but if you ever go to Montreal and
see their agenda, like you get a lot of

206
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,000
information, it's not the right answer. But
yes, we could probably do a better job and

207
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,000
and identify so you understand it as clear.
>> Or publish something that we

208
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,000
can refer to beforehand before the meeting.
>> That'd be great.

209
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:36,000
>> Thank you. And I did have one more question,
because I've been working through some of

210
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:44,000
these things with Chloe, and I find sometimes
the bureaucracy is very heavy. Is the city

211
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:49,000
actively trying to reduce some of that? You
know, sometimes we, we, you know, I've worked
with

212
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:56,000
them for other things in the past, and I've
gone through months of back and forths for,

213
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:03,060
you know, one example was adding a window.
I just find that very long and it's

214
00:21:03,060 --> 00:21:07,060
probably very costly to the city and to the
citizens as well.

215
00:21:07,060 --> 00:21:12,060
>> So I think it's this council, if I can speak
for this council, I think it's something we're

216
00:21:12,060 --> 00:21:16,060
all taking to heart, and we're looking at different
ways of becoming more efficient and

217
00:21:16,060 --> 00:21:20,060
getting rid of bureaucracy. There is a lot
of it, yes, for many reasons. Sometimes it's

218
00:21:20,060 --> 00:21:25,060
just a process. Timelines like if you make
a request for a permit, you have to wait 30

219
00:21:25,060 --> 00:21:30,060
days before we can answer you. There's a lot
of stuff behind the scenes that people don't

220
00:21:30,060 --> 00:21:34,060
know. But yes, we would. We started a process
a few years back. We have to get back into

221
00:21:34,060 --> 00:21:40,060
it now. There's a new council, but yes, there's
a I think it's a will of this council to be

222
00:21:40,060 --> 00:21:54,060
sharper and less bureaucratic for sure. Thank
you, thank you. >> Brian Cowan.

223
00:21:54,060 --> 00:21:57,060
>> SH. >> Hello everybody. The view is a little
different from over

224
00:21:57,060 --> 00:22:03,020
here I thank you I have just one question.
It's not actually to you, Mr. Belvedere. It's
to

225
00:22:03,020 --> 00:22:09,020
Mr. Tremblay and Mr. Potvin. Last month there
was a vote on the composition of the planning

226
00:22:09,020 --> 00:22:15,020
advisory committee, and they voted in negative.
Everybody else voted to support the the

227
00:22:15,020 --> 00:22:21,020
resolution that appointed the planning advisory
Committee. And they cited when when they

228
00:22:21,020 --> 00:22:26,020
spoke to their vote, they said that they couldn't
say anything because of caucus

229
00:22:26,020 --> 00:22:30,020
confidentiality. I don't think myself I don't
think that's good enough. I think that here

230
00:22:30,020 --> 00:22:35,020
at this meeting, when you vote, you have to
you should be prepared to substantiate your

231
00:22:35,020 --> 00:22:40,020
vote. The people who voted in favor of the
resolution, their substantiation is the actual

232
00:22:40,020 --> 00:22:46,020
result, the resolution. But if you vote against
it, I think it's a good idea to figure out

233
00:22:46,020 --> 00:22:53,020
how you're going to explain that to everybody
and not to say, I can't say anything

234
00:22:53,020 --> 00:22:58,020
because I've got to respect caucus confidentiality.
So I will ask the question, could

235
00:22:58,020 --> 00:23:03,080
you explain the two gentlemen, could you explain
your votes with a little bit more depth

236
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:09,080
than I can't I can't explain my vote. >> Would
you like to go ahead,

237
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:14,080
Bruno? I'll give you permission. Last month,
it was because there was people that had to
be

238
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,080
notified because there was an application process.
So we wanted to notify the people

239
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:23,080
personally before they heard it here. I would
think that was part of it. But go ahead, Bruno,

240
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,080
for thank. >> You for your question. Mr. Nice
to see you again. Yeah.

241
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:35,080
The difficulty with this one is there are certain
situations where you can receive when

242
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,080
you're trying to make a decision on a particular
point, as you know. Well, having been

243
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:50,080
a councilor yourself, you you may receive data
in the form of photographs, sketches, text,

244
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,080
information of some sort or another. One type
of information that I find very

245
00:23:54,080 --> 00:24:00,040
important is discussion. And I found that there
was not sufficient discussion around a

246
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:05,040
certain point that I had with regards to procedure
and in terms of how that procedure

247
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:10,040
operates and how we need to work. Now for me
to get into the details of the procedure is

248
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,040
where I start to get into a difficult position
of being able to explain all of that.

249
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:20,040
And so I felt that I was missing that information,
and without it, I was in no

250
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:25,040
position to to move forward with a vote, when
to vote no. If I could abstain, I would

251
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:31,040
have abstained to some degree and and complained,
perhaps even louder about not getting

252
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:37,040
what it is that I needed. But unfortunately
that's the direction I had to take.

253
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:41,040
>> Thank you. >> All right. >> Thank you.

254
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:46,040
>> Hello, Mr. Cohen, thanks for coming down.
Basically, on my side, I just basically wanted

255
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:52,040
to make sure that I was in a position with
all the information that I needed to

256
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:57,040
make a decision. I still feel that's a little
bit of confidentiality. I would have

257
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:03,000
wished if a little bit more information at
the time, but I didn't. I do believe that the

258
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,000
people who have been chosen, the four people
who have been chosen, will do a very good job.

259
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:12,000
And from my end, if I do have to have some
interactions with them, I will certainly support

260
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,000
them. >> Well thank you. That's actually kind
of informative.

261
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:20,000
It suggests that two councilors were not particularly
happy with the procedure that

262
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,000
resulted in the planning advisory committee
selection, which I think is important to

263
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,000
know. So thank you. I have one other. >> Let
me just respond to one.

264
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:32,000
Just want to make one thing clear. The process
was followed as far as the the way the

265
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:37,000
applications were triaged. There was a committee
that was formed. They made a decision,

266
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,000
they brought it back to council. The whole
process was was followed according to our

267
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:45,000
bylaws. From what I understand. >> I have no
doubt. >> That to make that clear,

268
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,000
that's all. Go ahead. >> Next, next. Another
point to make a follow up on the

269
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,000
questions about the agglomeration. This year
is the 20th anniversary of what I call

270
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,000
the abomination of the agglomeration of the
agglomeration. And it would be

271
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:02,060
nice that we get out of what I used to scold
my kids with the present participle of we're

272
00:26:02,060 --> 00:26:07,060
working on it, we're discussing it ING and
actually get to a conclusion that maybe at
the

273
00:26:07,060 --> 00:26:13,060
end of this year, we can actually make some
progress in in improving the accountability

274
00:26:13,060 --> 00:26:19,060
of the agglomeration council, which I think
is less to do with arguing over the

275
00:26:19,060 --> 00:26:26,060
allocation of the expenses and more about the
determination of of the budget at the front
end

276
00:26:26,060 --> 00:26:31,060
of it. And I don't really have a question because
the question was asked.

277
00:26:31,060 --> 00:26:34,060
>> Well. >> So I'll leave my preamble and sit
down again.

278
00:26:34,060 --> 00:26:38,060
>> Mr. Cowan, we're all on the same page. And
you know the process. It's a big machine

279
00:26:38,060 --> 00:26:43,060
that we're trying to break into and to change,
and it's the only people that can change. It

280
00:26:43,060 --> 00:26:47,060
is the provincial government. And I think there's
an election this year, and I think it

281
00:26:47,060 --> 00:26:51,060
should be it should be a topic of the election.
Who's going to address the agglomeration,

282
00:26:51,060 --> 00:26:55,060
who's going to the injustice that the the Mercedes
are paid? What are we going to do about

283
00:26:55,060 --> 00:27:00,020
it? That'd be great. But nobody ever wants
to talk about it. Because if you take if if

284
00:27:00,020 --> 00:27:04,020
Quebec was to tell Montreal you're charging
the city's too much and you have to give them

285
00:27:04,020 --> 00:27:08,020
$150 million, Quebec's gonna have to come up
with $50 million. Nobody wants to come

286
00:27:08,020 --> 00:27:12,020
up with it. So it's a you know, you know, you're
a very smart man. You understand the process.

287
00:27:12,020 --> 00:27:18,020
And it's a it's a it's a heck of a battle.
But it's not for lack of trying that we're
not

288
00:27:18,020 --> 00:27:23,020
getting anywhere, that's for sure. Okay. Next.
>> Hans Volstad.

289
00:27:23,020 --> 00:27:31,020
>> Yeah. Hi. This concerns the Lanlan sandalwood
flooding situation. I was present here

290
00:27:31,020 --> 00:27:39,020
in December 15th for the stormwater session
information session, and I guess at that

291
00:27:39,020 --> 00:27:43,020
time came out there was probably at least four
options on the table, technically, of

292
00:27:43,020 --> 00:27:49,020
what to do. Only one of them was presented
at the at the at the meeting. And that was
far

293
00:27:49,020 --> 00:27:57,020
from being fully developed. So it really my
question is. Oh, and I guess with a lot of
the

294
00:27:57,020 --> 00:28:03,080
capital works projects, we tend to see them
for the first time when they're about to go
to

295
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:07,080
construction. You've already been out for bids
or tendered, or at least the design is 100%

296
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:13,080
complete before we we see that. And that's
appropriate, I guess, for a street rebuild
or a but

297
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:19,080
in this case, especially where we have four
or more options available, are we going to
be

298
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:26,080
able to see this before the see the choice
or the the reasoning behind the selection of
a

299
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,080
particular option before it's too late to make
any changes? Will we be consulted?

300
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:35,080
>> Well, there'll be a meeting coming up in
March. There has been some great developments
on

301
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:40,080
that whole project. There's been all there's
going to be everything's going to be done.

302
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:45,080
That has to be done that we think has to be
done. Not only one option. Do you want to go

303
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:51,080
into more detail about. >> With respect to
having information pertaining to that

304
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,080
project? We certainly can provide it and we'll
provide it. I'll speak to my colleagues,

305
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,080
but we can provide it most likely in the meeting
during March presentation. And during

306
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:03,040
that presentation you'll have more information
pertaining to stormwater management. So we'll

307
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:10,040
be able to provide that information then with
respect to the project itself and the

308
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:16,040
details therein, changing those aspects at
this point in time, not necessarily. The project

309
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:25,040
has gone for tender. So it's it. >> Oh, right.
All right. Could you tell me which option was

310
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:31,040
selected? Is this a is this a surface water
retention option was selected.

311
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:37,040
>> Yeah. For this Shuttlewood project at a
very high level. You've got the Belmont Park

312
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:42,040
area right on top. >> Belmont Park or the the
soccer field.

313
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:47,040
>> Soccer field. Okay. Right. Right. So which
is to be a a large retention basin.

314
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:54,040
>> Right. Surface retention. >> Surface retention
basin okay. Well surface retention, there's

315
00:29:54,040 --> 00:30:02,000
there's water that's going to be percolated
below the surface into our network. Okay. And

316
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:09,000
then beyond on the on the side of Terracotta
Road, basically we'll have a burn that will
be

317
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:14,000
created as well. There. >> You've got a road.
>> Oh okay. That's a separate.

318
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,000
>> Well it's part of it's part. >> Of the at
the other end. Yeah.

319
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,000
>> Part of the entire project. The whole the
whole sector has been looked at. And there's
a

320
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:31,000
smaller retention basin that's being also included.
Lower Belmont. And then the fourth

321
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:37,000
aspect is that we're we're redirecting the
water from essentially Terracotta Park

322
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:49,000
into the Belmont Park soccer field. My my apologies
area okay. Because it sounds very.

323
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,000
AD hoc right now, but we'll be able to provide
you with visuals and the four steps that

324
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,000
are included with the within the project. >>
All right. Because I asked

325
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:03,060
the question in in on December 15th for that
option with surface retention, how was the

326
00:31:03,060 --> 00:31:08,060
water going to get from the creek onto that,
onto that field and that that field is

327
00:31:08,060 --> 00:31:12,060
two meters higher than the road? We don't we
don't want it to fill up when there's two meters

328
00:31:12,060 --> 00:31:17,060
of water on the road. It has to get there.
Nobody was able to answer that question. So
now

329
00:31:17,060 --> 00:31:24,060
we've actually come and finalized the solution
and gone to tender in, what, six weeks?

330
00:31:24,060 --> 00:31:28,060
>> Well, yeah, basically over the course of
the last several, several weeks, the team has

331
00:31:28,060 --> 00:31:36,060
been working on the project and we're planning
on operating and and doing the work early,
as

332
00:31:36,060 --> 00:31:40,060
early as possible in early spring. >> Okay.
So in in March, then

333
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:45,060
we can expect a presentation. >> Meeting here
in March. >> Backed up with numbers and

334
00:31:45,060 --> 00:31:52,060
and reason why that particular option was selected.
>> Well it is the there's

335
00:31:52,060 --> 00:31:56,060
there's no other option. The the four options
that were selected were all part of an

336
00:31:56,060 --> 00:32:02,020
all encompassing option for that area. It wasn't
option A, option B, option C, they're all

337
00:32:02,020 --> 00:32:07,020
part of the solution to rectify stormwater
management. >> What I mean by options is

338
00:32:07,020 --> 00:32:11,020
one option was to get the city of Montreal
and the agglomeration to build a new

339
00:32:11,020 --> 00:32:16,020
pipe from the creek down to the lake. That
is an option. You rejected it for some reason.

340
00:32:16,020 --> 00:32:21,020
Another option is subsurface retention, which
which would have been filled then by the

341
00:32:21,020 --> 00:32:27,020
sewer pipes themselves, which you also rejected.
>> Well, when you're speaking

342
00:32:27,020 --> 00:32:30,020
about. >> I also mentioned why why not just
retain that water in the

343
00:32:30,020 --> 00:32:37,020
park itself, where we have a big gully? That
could be there? >> Still looking at the the

344
00:32:37,020 --> 00:32:43,020
option to redirect that water within the the
park within the. >> I don't mean redirect,
I

345
00:32:43,020 --> 00:32:48,020
mean just hold it back, build a berm to hold
up a meter, a meter and a half.

346
00:32:48,020 --> 00:32:51,020
>> They're looking in those options with the
city of Montreal that's separate from

347
00:32:51,020 --> 00:32:55,020
the project itself. >> So that could be done
as well in the future. In addition

348
00:32:55,020 --> 00:32:59,020
to the retention is that. >> They're still
looking at that. I don't want to speak to

349
00:32:59,020 --> 00:33:02,080
it. >> Yeah. I think. >> In March time, March
comes

350
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:06,080
around. We've got much more information to
and you have a better visual of what they're

351
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:10,080
actually doing, more work than what's expected.
When they announced they were going to do

352
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:14,080
the retention tank in soccer field, we've taken
it a few steps further, and there's some

353
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:18,080
other stuff that. >> Yeah, there's four parts
of the project. I don't know which

354
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,080
other options, but the the project itself has
four main parts, which I explained

355
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:28,080
essentially. Okay. The part on the soccer field,
there's the burn, there's a smaller

356
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:32,080
retention area as well. And redirecting the
water from the street onto the soccer field.

357
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:36,080
>> Okay. Right. >> Yeah. >> Thank you. The
soccer field

358
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:40,080
was always planned. >> And from the start,
the soccer field was always planned

359
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:44,080
to be dropped to accumulate that, that there
was never a different.

360
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:48,080
>> Option than that. So it would, would flow
from the street onto.

361
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:53,080
>> Onto, onto the soccer field. >> So there's
a lot of dirt coming out of there.

362
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:58,080
>> That dirt will be recuperated to create
the burn on the side of terracotta. Yeah.

363
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,040
>> Okay. >> It's the. >> Big brother to seeing
those.

364
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:05,040
>> Million dollar project. >> 4 million, 3.1
million. >> Point $1 million project,

365
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:09,040
big project. But it has to be done. All right.
Awesome. >> All right. Thank you.

366
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:20,040
>> You're welcome. >> Joanne. >> Good evening.
I have a

367
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:27,040
concern and a question, please. So my concern
is about individuals who have now

368
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:34,040
realized the profitability of collecting and
redeeming ten cent aluminum cans. They they

369
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:42,040
go up and down the street and go into our yards
into, like, trespassing and go through the

370
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:48,040
garbage recycle bins. In my opinion, once the
blue bin is at the end of the road, you can

371
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:53,040
do what you want with it. But to trespass up
onto the yard is is going a little bit too
far.

372
00:34:53,040 --> 00:35:00,000
I don't know if public security is aware of
it. I also have another angle on it, and I
work

373
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:05,000
at Nova as a volunteer, and I see two of these
people coming to redeem on an almost daily

374
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:11,000
basis, and they're redeeming 30, 40 and $50
a day. So it's a substantial amount of money,

375
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:18,000
and it's a substantial amount of aluminum cans.
I would like to know if there's a law or

376
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:25,000
some kind of, well, a law forbidding them from
going up into our yards to, to rummage

377
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,000
through these blue cans. >> Well, I think I'll
answer that question. I would say, yes,

378
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:34,000
it's trespassing. And the other the other law
is respect. Stay off my property. But what

379
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,000
street? You don't have to tell us. But maybe
you can give. >> I'm in district four. I'm
in

380
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:42,000
Cedar Park Heights. >> Does it happen? Like
every week when you put your

381
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,000
recycling bins, there are certain days we'll
send somebody a we can send.

382
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:51,000
>> The most popular day is Wednesday because
the bins are are full at that time. It's a

383
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,000
concerted effort that this one gentleman puts
in. He actually has a wagon with a crib

384
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:01,060
attached to the top of it. And he's got three
and four big, big green bag. He puts a lot
of

385
00:36:01,060 --> 00:36:10,060
effort into it. One of my big concerns is that
there's a a house with. There's a women's

386
00:36:10,060 --> 00:36:15,060
shelter beside my house, near my house, beside
my house. And I know there's vulnerable

387
00:36:15,060 --> 00:36:20,060
people living there, and I, I worry for that
as well. >> So I took a note on

388
00:36:20,060 --> 00:36:25,060
Wednesday in District four and we can send
the we can maybe ask public security just to
pay

389
00:36:25,060 --> 00:36:29,060
attention and go around and see if they see
anybody. And if you're at home and you see
it.

390
00:36:29,060 --> 00:36:33,060
>> I've thrown them off. I've asked him to
leave twice. >> No, but he called public

391
00:36:33,060 --> 00:36:37,060
security calls 6301234 and tell them the situation.
They'll send somebody over and they can

392
00:36:37,060 --> 00:36:41,060
talk to the gentleman then or the person, whoever
it is. But I mean, absolutely, if you

393
00:36:41,060 --> 00:36:45,060
don't mind. That would help for sure. If not.
>> I really wouldn't rather a

394
00:36:45,060 --> 00:36:48,060
confrontation at my home. No, I've elected
to come here instead.

395
00:36:48,060 --> 00:36:53,060
>> No, but they don't have to come to your
house. But maybe just call us and say the

396
00:36:53,060 --> 00:36:57,060
gentleman is in the area or the persons are
in the area. They're going up and down the

397
00:36:57,060 --> 00:37:01,020
streets right now. Yeah, whatever. And at least
we know where they are. We will ask

398
00:37:01,020 --> 00:37:04,020
Public Security to pay attention. >> I believe
they're I believe

399
00:37:04,020 --> 00:37:07,020
they're everywhere. I mean, it's it's a it's
rather lucrative. Yeah. The other

400
00:37:07,020 --> 00:37:11,020
question I have is why can't I have a tempo.
>> It's not in our bylaws to

401
00:37:11,020 --> 00:37:16,020
allow them. It comes. >> Up okay. Okay. So
I've done a bit homework. So a third of

402
00:37:16,020 --> 00:37:20,020
the point clear population is over 65 okay.
To have a tempo which is not expensive. There

403
00:37:20,020 --> 00:37:25,020
are about $299 for an 11 foot. And there are
about $399 for a 16 foot. It would allow older

404
00:37:25,020 --> 00:37:29,020
people to maintain their independence and stay
in their home. Westmount has tempos it

405
00:37:29,020 --> 00:37:36,020
can't possibly be, you know, an issue of being
unsightly there. They look quite acceptable

406
00:37:36,020 --> 00:37:42,020
these days windows, doors and that can be controlled
by having a permit and holding a

407
00:37:42,020 --> 00:37:48,020
permit for no more than 8 or 10 years, when
they might start to degrade. It's safer for
older

408
00:37:48,020 --> 00:37:53,020
people getting in and out of their cars during
ice storms and again reduces falls. It

409
00:37:53,020 --> 00:38:02,080
might allow some people to have reduced rates
for snow removal. And in Pointe-Claire, in
a lot

410
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,080
of the houses, the bungalows and McGill splits,
especially the McGill splits, an awful lot

411
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:13,080
of people have converted their garage into
usable living space so that they don't have
to move.

412
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:18,080
I did a little walk through the community often.
Again, there's motorhome. He gets to put it
in

413
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:22,080
his backyard. There's another one off Hillview,
another motorhome in the backyard.

414
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:27,080
There's a tempo on Springdale. It's hidden
behind the house. It's parallel to the back
of

415
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,080
the house. It might not be there now. I know
it's been there in previous years.

416
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:35,080
There's another tempo off Allston. It's a sophisticated
tempo that just goes over a

417
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:42,080
gazebo, but it's a tempo. There's also in terms
of using garage in in terms of using

418
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:49,080
driveway space, there's also trucks and trailers
on Norwalk, Sedgefield and Allston that

419
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:56,080
basically park their construction trailers
and cars in the driveway. And one of

420
00:38:56,080 --> 00:39:03,040
them in particular, actually butts out into
the road, over the sidewalk, into the road.
So

421
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:09,040
if we're looking at, you know, unsightly amounts
of vehicles or unsightly situations, why

422
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:14,040
have the tempos been excluded? And why do people
who have their motorhomes in their

423
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:19,040
houses like it just doesn't seem to be balanced
to me. So I'd like it opened up for

424
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:26,040
discussion or maybe public consultation. >>
So we'll take your comments.

425
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,040
Yeah, I did. >> A little bit of homework. >>
We've done we've it's come

426
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:35,040
up every year to the council. Every time council
discusses around the table. And the

427
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:39,040
consensus obviously is no because that's why
they haven't been Council has never had the

428
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:45,040
majority to say yes. But again we'll look at
it. And I think that the last thing I heard
if

429
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:49,040
council does look at these certain bylaws,
they'd like to if they do make a decision,

430
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:54,040
they'd like it to be good for four years instead
of just one year. So it doesn't keep coming

431
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,040
up every year. So but something will definitely
they will come around. The council.

432
00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:01,000
>> Statistic I wasn't able to find was how
many people in Pointe-Claire over 65. And

433
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:07,000
we're running about 30 or 35% who are 65 and
older. What part of them live independently
in

434
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,000
their own homes? I couldn't find that. >> Well,
it's not you know, it

435
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:14,000
has its pros and cons and I'm not against it.
I'm not for them. There's been there's both

436
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:19,000
sides of it, how safe they are and how unsafe
they are. They block visibility to the front

437
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,000
door of the house. They block the address.
They there's security. No, I'm just telling

438
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,000
you. >> Not so much. They're in the driveway.
I mean, if the front

439
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:30,000
door of your house is in the driveway, I wonder
who your architect is.

440
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,000
>> You talk to the fire department or the ambulance
drivers in this this gazebo.

441
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,000
There's temples in the driveway, and sometimes
it blocks the entrance or the. I'm just

442
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:42,000
telling you what we've heard, but I'm not saying
I'm for it. But we will bring it up to

443
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,000
caucus and we'll make a we'll discuss. >> Well,
I disagree with that.

444
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,000
I truly. >> Do disagree. Civic numbers. >>
The civic numbers at the

445
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:52,000
front door. The front door is not the garage.
>> All right. We'll bring it to

446
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:57,000
council. And as was brought up here, we'll
discuss the council and we'll we'll come back
with

447
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,060
a decision for sure. >> How about sending it
to public consultation so that

448
00:41:00,060 --> 00:41:06,060
it's not so that it's not the same. The same,
you know. >> We can.

449
00:41:06,060 --> 00:41:08,060
>> Conversation again and. >> Again that option
too. Absolutely.

450
00:41:08,060 --> 00:41:17,060
>> Well thank. >> You, thank you. >> Nasal
Darby.

451
00:41:17,060 --> 00:41:24,060
>> Good evening. I asked this question before
about all the projects, the major project,

452
00:41:24,060 --> 00:41:29,060
what you're going to do. You put it in the
website. So people in particular are very

453
00:41:29,060 --> 00:41:34,060
smart, the all professional, they can give
you an idea. And also when you vote in it,
you

454
00:41:34,060 --> 00:41:39,060
know what the the opinion of all Pointe-Claire.
And you said they're going to look for it.

455
00:41:39,060 --> 00:41:45,060
So please can you put all the major project
in the website ahead of time before you vote

456
00:41:45,060 --> 00:41:51,060
in it so we can know what you're going to do
and we can give you opinion also for each

457
00:41:51,060 --> 00:41:57,060
location people, because I can hear too many
people, you know, they they they know after
you

458
00:41:57,060 --> 00:42:03,020
start decide how we do the project. Can you
do that? Because I asked that before and

459
00:42:03,020 --> 00:42:07,020
you said they're going to look for it and they're
going to do it.

460
00:42:07,020 --> 00:42:11,020
>> Well, I'll talk to Mr. Gerard. If we have
something we can do. Usually we have a big

461
00:42:11,020 --> 00:42:15,020
project. We do do public consultations. Sometimes
we do online consultation. We ask for

462
00:42:15,020 --> 00:42:20,020
people's input, you know, did that. I think
you're referring more to the pool right now.
The,

463
00:42:20,020 --> 00:42:25,020
the the work that's being done at the pool.
The work is being done in the pool is work
that's

464
00:42:25,020 --> 00:42:29,020
been ideas have been accumulated over the years
of stuff that people have said.

465
00:42:29,020 --> 00:42:34,020
Did we do a public consultation or anything
before we went to tender for before we launched

466
00:42:34,020 --> 00:42:39,020
the project. >> There were consultations with
various groups, but not a

467
00:42:39,020 --> 00:42:44,020
public consultation per se. No. >> Yeah. But
if you put it in the website, everybody, they

468
00:42:44,020 --> 00:42:48,020
going to give you opinion and you do the right
thing. So nobody after complain about it.

469
00:42:48,020 --> 00:42:54,020
What is missing that, missing that. So I said
that in the last administration they said

470
00:42:54,020 --> 00:42:59,020
yes, they're going to look at it but didn't
do it the same. Exactly. When they start the

471
00:42:59,020 --> 00:43:06,080
renovation, the $25 million for the city. And
I said, put it in the website so we know how
much

472
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:12,080
what exactly is spending 25 million for what?
And also the same thing for the pool. You

473
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:18,080
said it's $8 million. It's a lot of money.
So we have to know what's exactly going to
do

474
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:24,080
with $8 million. So that's going to help us
and to help you when you vote on it. So to

475
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:28,080
be okay. >> Perfect. Well, I mean, I'm not
against it. I just don't

476
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:32,080
know how we have to go about doing it. So we'll
we'll discuss it. We'll see what we

477
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:36,080
can come up with. Better this better. Then
let's try to make it more transparent if that's

478
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:41,080
the right word. Yeah for sure. >> Okay. And
also that please, you know when you discuss

479
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:49,080
anything do it ahead of time so we know about
it. So we give you all the right decision or

480
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,080
to help you. >> We do a lot of consultations
doing more consultation we've

481
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:57,080
ever done before. And we're probably not perfect
at it. We can do more, but we have come a

482
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:03,040
long way with the doing streets and doing a
lot. We do a lot of parks we go to, we do public

483
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:08,040
consultation, you know, like Mr. Gerard said,
they did talk to certain groups that use a

484
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:12,040
pool all the time to get ideas. So there was
some type of consultation. These decisions

485
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:16,040
just aren't taken lightly. They're a lot of
research. They hire experts. They they talk
to

486
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:20,040
the users. So yeah, but if we can make make
it even more accessible, everybody for sure.

487
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:24,040
If it's not, let's see what we can do. >> Yeah.
And the website also

488
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:28,040
it involves a lot of more people like, you
see it's not too many people. They come to

489
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:33,040
the city meeting. So but in the website everybody
is going to look at it and you get more

490
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,040
results. >> Perfect. >> Thank you, thank you.

491
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:52,040
>> Thank you sir. Okay okay. >> Thank. De la

To put the motion forward,

495
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:20,000
please. >> Cynthia Holman, district five. The
purpose of this code

496
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:25,000
is to prioritize the values that guide the
decisions of members of municipal council

497
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:30,000
and contribute to a better understanding of
the municipality's values.

498
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:35,000
Establish standards of conduct that promote
the integration of these values into the decision

499
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:41,000
making process of elected officials, and more
generally, into their conduct. In this

500
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:46,000
capacity, prevent ethical conflicts and, if
they arise, help resolve them effectively

501
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:51,000
and judiciously. Ensure that control measures
are applied in the event of the breach of

502
00:45:51,000 --> 00:46:00,060
conduct and section that has been added. Is
interference. A member of the municipal council

503
00:46:00,060 --> 00:46:05,060
may not interfere in the day to day administration
of the municipality. Interference

504
00:46:05,060 --> 00:46:10,060
includes giving instructions to municipal employees
other than during a decision making

505
00:46:10,060 --> 00:46:16,060
process. In a public meeting of the municipal
council, based on a directive from city

506
00:46:16,060 --> 00:46:21,060

employees to obtain information that is not

507
00:46:21,060 --> 00:46:26,060
generally available to the public other than
through a procedure established by the

508
00:46:26,060 --> 00:46:30,060
municipality. It is understood that a member
of council, who is a member of a committee

509
00:46:30,060 --> 00:46:35,060
formed by the municipal council, or who is
mandated by the municipal council to represent

510
00:46:35,060 --> 00:46:40,060
the municipality in a particular matter, may
nevertheless be required to

511
00:46:40,060 --> 00:46:44,060
collaborate with city management and municipal
employees. Such collaboration

512
00:46:44,060 --> 00:46:50,060
is limited to the mandate assigned to the member
by the municipal council. Under no

513
00:46:50,060 --> 00:46:54,060
circumstances may this section be applied or
interpreted in such a way as to limit the

just like to make one thing

607
01:01:08,060 --> 01:01:13,060
clear here tonight, these items are on the
agenda because everybody at this table wants

608
01:01:13,060 --> 01:01:18,060
to move forward. We're not living in the past.
We're moving forward and we're

609
01:01:18,060 --> 01:01:24,060
passing these resolutions in, in, in with the
legalities of the new program that's coming

610
01:01:24,060 --> 01:01:28,060
out by the government, which will give $640,000
towards a windmill. And the resolution

611
01:01:28,060 --> 01:01:36,060
that was passed in 2023, I believe, was for
the city committed $960,000, which has

612
01:01:36,060 --> 01:01:42,060
been put aside, which is which is equivalent
to up to 50% of renovations have to be done.
We

613
01:01:42,060 --> 01:01:46,060
are moving forward. We want this windmill taken
care of. We don't own it. They've got a

614
01:01:46,060 --> 01:01:51,060
lease for it. Fantastic. The mayor's for the
last 30 years have been trying to deal with

615
01:01:51,060 --> 01:01:56,060
the diocese and tried all kinds of things.
We're at this point now. It's fantastic. Thank
you.

616

Everybody put work into it. But we're not.
We're not living in the past. We're moving
forward.

617
01:02:01,020 --> 01:02:05,020
And this work is that we're all working together.
It's happening fast because a

618
01:02:05,020 --> 01:02:09,020
government program, they informed us two weeks
ago that the application on behalf of

619
01:02:09,020 --> 01:02:16,020
the diocese has to be filled and sent to government
by February 21st. February 20th.

620
01:02:16,020 --> 01:02:20,020
>> February 27th. >> February 27th. So there's
a lot of work that has to go into

621
01:02:20,020 --> 01:02:25,020
it. A lot of papers and documents have to be
signed not only by us, by the diocese, by

622
01:02:25,020 --> 01:02:28,020
everybody. And yeah, so I'm looking forward.
We're all looking forward to gain the

623
01:02:28,020 --> 01:02:33,020
windmill to where it should be, and we're going
to do our part to make sure that it happens.
