[0:30] Thank you. Thank you sir. Good evening. Thank
you. Be seated. DC Premier, je vous vous. OU
[0:53] acheter e voir reunion special topics la agenda.
Pour. An adjustment a resolution pour le
[1:05] financement de la mouline on the government
of Quebec. On a on a resolution. Transfer des
[1:15] changements pour felicité. La la la la la.
Cause de la muela. So one of the items will
be for
[1:25] the financing of the windmill. We received
money from the Quebec government. We have to
[1:30] adapt our financing plan to adapt to their
financing plan. So we're going to change our
[1:37] resolution. It will facilitate the financing
of the work on the windmill. And the second
[1:42] item will be adjustments to our flooding financial
plan. Obviously, we've had many, many.
[1:52] Demands and we found some little things that
we didn't think about. So we're going to
[1:56] change some of the wording to facilitate and
clarify, so that it would be easier for you
guys
[2:00] to understand. And we'll be able to help when
more causes. So those are the only two items
[2:05] that will be on the agenda. August 25th 7:00.
All right. And it will be publicized
[2:10] closer to the date, but it is a special meeting.
So sometimes it gets lost on the website. So
[2:14] I'm telling you now. So you got two weeks notice.
All right. There you go. Okay. Come. Je je
[2:22] vous venir sur le program de financier pour
la gestion des les ou sur les propriétaires
[2:31] residential. Le mois de nier. Je suis tres
de la pour sa program. Nous avons. En santé
[2:40] du monde et sont déja approuvé. So we've
we've received over 100 requests for the financial
[2:47] aid program. And so far we've already approved
60. And it's just because there's a process.
[2:52] It takes time. You need pictures and people
have. So we're trying to get them
[2:57] approved as fast as we can. But it's been a
good turnout. This is a very encouraging and
shows
[3:02] that many homeowners are ready to take concrete
actions to better protect their properties
[3:05] from heavy rainfall events. But also like to
remind everyone that this program is first
and
[3:13] foremost focused on prevention and adaptation.
It provides financial assistance up to
[3:18] $5,000 for eligible work aimed at improving
stormwater management to residential
[3:22] properties. You probably heard two in the newspapers,
on the radio that are on the news that
[3:30] the city of Pointe-Claire has received $6.8
million from the government through their Oasis
[3:36] program. The Oasis program is a program to
help municipalities adapt to climate change
through
[3:43] infrastructure changes. We started a very rigorous
process in November, looking at
[3:57] different things we had to do throughout the
city, and we came up with 11 minute, one of
[4:01] the first ones that got done or being done
right now is the one on Belmont and Sandalwood.
[4:06] That's part of the Oasis program, and the other
projects will be implemented into our
[4:10] capital expenditures over the next two years,
and they'll be realized. So again, thank you
[4:15] to the Quebec government for stepping up and
giving us that money. So come on, anglais on
[4:20] the with $6.8 million and program the eight
the financier, the program Oasis, the
[4:27] government of Quebec say poor aid the municipality.
The. The. Fer de traverser le systeme
[4:36] infrastructure pour les. On a on a. To pour
trouver solution dans la ville. Trouver un
[4:51] projet de la government accepted les projet
dans les prochaines années de voir les
[5:00] travaux sur les projet de de la ville de Pointe-Claire.
The other thing with the aid, the
[5:18] financial aid program for flooding, we told
you about Echo Habitacion, who is a
[5:22] company that will come in and will contact
you, and they'll evaluate your property and
tell
[5:26] you what you need to do to make your house
more water resilient. This program will only
be up
[5:33] and running in September. The financial program
and that we're supposed to be together
[5:38] and we're aiming for September, the two of
them. But because of the last big rainfall,
we
[5:43] decided to accelerate the financial aid to
get you get the citizens money to start
[5:47] doing the work on the homes that they know
they have to do. But the people that need the
[5:52] evaluations. It was always planned for September,
and it's looking maybe a little bit
[5:56] sooner, but let's plan on September that you'll
be able to reach out to them. They'll
[6:00] be able to come in and evaluate your your property
for you. There is no number of houses
[6:05] we're going to say yes to or no to. It will
be a time thing. This program is not going
to
[6:10] die tomorrow. We're going to keep this program
going until there's no, you know, many
[6:15] years for people to get the work done in their
homes and understand what they have to do
[6:20] is going to take time. So we're going to the
council has the power to adopt the financial
[6:25] aid that we've accepted for this program. If
we have to put more money into it, we'll
[6:30] discuss it and we'll keep it going. So don't
worry that it's in September and I'm not going
[6:34] to be the first 100 people. You're going to
get refused. Nobody's going to get refused.
[6:39] It will just be a little bit longer than expected.
All right. But it'll be a great program. I
[6:50] just for a a program echo the echo. Evaluate
at Maison les besoin pour Felicity. Les
[7:04] maisons de plus efficace pour le lo. Le program.
La la. Program. De voir la pour faire
[7:22] des travaux de la maison des. The evaluation.
System. Mais pour quelqu'un qui. Avoir un
[7:33] bon evaluation plan. Les travaux. Avoir un
plan that the regulator maison. And the other
[7:49] thing is that you probably seen or you've heard
that we've changed our garbage collection,
[7:55] adapting to climate change. So we've been collecting
garbage for the last eight years in the
[8:02] summertime, every week. We are going to continue
that now to the end of October, because
[8:08] September and October are warmer, and that
will facilitate that part of it.
[8:14] Composting will change in the winter time.
It's going to go to every two weeks because
the
[8:18] winter composting, it's cold, it doesn't smell,
there's no issues. But I really want to
[8:23] make one strong message. Although we're increasing
the garbage pickup every week until
[8:28] the end of October, Pointe-Claire, we're agreeing
sustainable, environmental
[8:32] friendly city. We need to get used to composting.
If you compost properly, you should
[8:38] have no garbage and you can put everything
in your compost. You can put meat, bones, greasy
[8:43] things. So we've always done well. We're always
number one or number two. But the
[8:48] government and the city of Montreal is going
to get much, much stricter. And it's going
[8:52] to be harder and harder to keep pushing this
program of picking up garbage every week. So
start
[8:57] composting properly and you'll see that you
won't have garbage, and you won't be asking
us to
[9:01] extend the garbage anymore. So we don't know
how long this program can last, maybe last
[9:06] one year or more, because the government will
tell you you can't do it. So I'm asking you
[9:11] all be proud. Make Pointe-Claire proud. Let's
be the lowest in garbage pickup in
[9:15] the highest in compost pickup. So start learning
about it today. Thank you. For the they
[9:24] collect la la la la calendrier pour les poubelle
en place de. Toute la mise en. La fin de
[9:36] octobre. Knocked up p pour la la compost. So
what does it mean? Deliver me. Come on.
[9:49] Anglais, je demandé. Si vous plait. Si. Postage
dans un village p. Avoir besoin de
[10:05] demande de voir. Okay. So si vous plait du
p travail de compost. Merci beaucoup. You
[10:20] will see an initiative. Occur from August 20th
3rd to September 6th. I invite you to
[10:30] take part in the plasma donation drive being
organized in collaboration with Hema
[10:34] Quebec at the Kirkland Donor Center. We often
hear about blood donations, but much less
[10:40] about plasma donations. Yet plasma plays an
essential role in the treatment of any
[10:45] patients, and the need continues to grow. Our
Laura Z amici a vous avez un peu de je
[10:56] vous encourager vraiment comme moi et rendez
vous a Québec pour participate. So it's the
[11:03] first time we're going to host this, the mayor's
plasma drive. It's for ten days. And I would
[11:10] love us to be able to say that we had X number
of citizens and be right up there. It's a great
[11:15] a great, great cause. I learned a lot about
it lately. And blood is easy to give. Plasma
[11:20] is just as easy. It takes longer, but you can
give it a lot more often and there's a
[11:24] lot more use for plasma. It goes into many,
many things. Medication. And you being a
[11:29] nursing practitioner, you can tell us all the
fancy stuff. No, no. So anyway, yeah, there's
a
[11:35] lot of need for plasma. So please, if you have
the time, take it and tell you they'll
[11:40] know you're from Pointe-Claire and you'll be
welcome. Thank you. Lavender van der. Are very
[11:49] important for Pointe-Claire. Inauguration.
A fisherman, William Bill Mcmurchie Park,
[11:58] Edgewater. Mr. It will be a special occasion
to pay tribute to a former mayor who dedicated
[12:04] a significant part of his life, the city of
Pointe-Claire, and to our community. The McMurtry
[12:09] family will be there along with members of
council. I hope that many of you will join
us to
[12:14] share this moment of remembrance and recognition.
Let No Bull Park A in Couvert A
[12:25] take the time to enjoy a picnic and enjoy the
festivities so the McMurtry family will be
[12:30] present. It's in Edgewater Park. The key to
the. The. What's it in English? The key. The

[12:37] The key that was built in back in 2000 for
the millennium year will be named after Mister
[12:42] McMurtry for his devotion to the city and everything
else. So everybody's welcome starts
[12:46] at 1:00 on the 22nd of August. And there's
a lot of other stuff happening. We've got the
[12:58] Blues Fest, Blues Festival, we've got all kinds
of stuff happening in Pointe-Claire,
[13:02] we've got the bark in the park, all kinds of
stuff happening this month. So take the time,
[13:06] go on the website and all the information is
there. Thank you very much. Okay. Agenda. Oh,
[13:21] sorry, sorry, sorry. Ways of it. Mr. stark,
will you come and say.
[13:32] >> Bonjour? I guess what I would say is that
we had our town hall for water mitigation
[13:39] a couple of weeks ago, so. Or shall I? Person.
It was a good heartfelt discussion was open.
[13:51] It was free. There was a lot of positivity.
Then we switched online. We had about, I think
6
[13:57] or 7 people online. As. Unregistered. Mais
je n'ai pas fait. J'ai fait une alors je
[14:04] voulais. I want to share with everybody, but
unfortunately, my my electronic skills weren't
[14:10] at its best that day. Thereafter, you know,
I visited many of the the Northview
[14:19] citizens that were flooded. If there's any
other Northview citizens that were flooded
that
[14:22] would like me to come by and give them a hand
and such, just reach out to me. I'd like to
[14:28] thank the city as well for the hard work they're
doing. It's not always apparent. I mean,
[14:32] it's p maybe, you know, we could always do
things better, maybe in better communication,
[14:39] maybe a bit of this, a bit of that. But our
intent is pure podosoje. La la microphone a
la
[14:49] mer. >> Mr. Pourbaix. >> Yes. Hello, everybody.
Thank
[14:53] you very much for coming out tonight. I second
what Councilor Storch has mentioned.
[14:59] We did a Group seven, district seven, district
eight water mitigation meeting, and I think
[15:03] it was a resounding success. We tried to provide
some clarity. When I see the the new. UN peu
[15:12] de clarity sur la situation. Encore une fois,
je vous merci beaucoup pour et la aujourd'hui.
[15:20] >> Romans Bienvenue a good evening and welcome
to everyone. I hope the meeting is
[15:26] informative for you. >> Madam Kelly, >> You
Bon soir Bienvenue.
[15:35] Important pour toutes les. Visité valoir des
nouveaux signage dans la rue donegani et
[15:43] aussi je savant le supermarché juste pour
aider avec la circulation et toutes les
[15:55] pedestrians aussi may say, just pour toute
la pointe Claire pour vous. Vous dans Notre
[16:07] sector. So just as a reminder, we have two
new signages that have gone up in the area
in
[16:14] front of Wild Willy's on Donegani and in front
of the Supermarché PA. And so it's
[16:19] just always important if we're thinking about
how we're driving to go slowly, be
[16:23] careful, be mindful of pedestrians, that we
share the road together. And that's just
[16:28] a reminder for the Valois sector. So thank
you very much. >> Mr. Andrews. Brzezinski.
[16:37] >> Francois, for cellular le retour des déchets
in September October, expanding weekly
[16:47] garbage pickup was an important commitment
for me. When I was going door to door in the
[16:51] election campaign, it was in my platform brochure,
and it was a big issue for a lot of people,
[16:56] particularly young families, people with pets
and people who lived in townhouses, like the
[17:01] ones in Donegani, where with the garbage being
close to the door, there was often an insect
[17:06] infestation. So people would bring me in the
door to avoid both of us getting swarmed. So
[17:14] I'm very glad that we're able to do that. It's
something that I advocated for as a member
of
[17:19] council, and although the mayor and I do not
always agree, I give him full credit for
[17:24] working with council and the administration
for getting it done. Thank you.
[17:31] >> Mr. Tremblay. >> Merci, monsieur. Good evening.
Bonsoir. Donc je une
[17:38] fois de plus tous ceux qui ont participé a
la premiere session de co-creation consacrée
au
[17:46] développement du Parc Hermitage dans mon district
au nord de Pointe-Claire, une deuxieme
[17:52] session aura lieu le mercredi au center sportif
Oliver Court de avant, ma savoir si vous
[18:00] vous souhaitez participer plaisir de vous informer.
I'd like to once again thank
[18:06] everyone who participated in the first co-creation
session on the future development of
[18:11] Hermitage Park back in June. A second session
will be held Wednesday, August 19th at the
[18:17] Oliver Court Sports Center from 630 to 8 p.m.
Let me know if you'd like to participate, and
[18:23] I'll follow up for you with additional information.
Secondly, just a quick reminder
[18:28] for all residents that Brunswick Boulevard,
Fairview Avenue and the service road are
[18:33] not drop off areas for REM commuters. That's
an important thing to keep in mind. For
[18:40] security reasons, please use the designated
areas to do so. Much safer. Better yet, you
can
[18:45] use the STM walk, bike or bike to the REM.
It's quite easy to get to the place when you
get
[18:52] used to doing it. I'll do et tous les citoyens
le Boulevard, Brunswick Avenue, Fairview et
[18:56] la voie de service NE sont pas des zones de
debarquement pour les veillées utilisez. Les
[19:04] emplacements et effet, c'est beaucoup plus
sécuritaires. Si vous NE pouvez prendre le
ASTM
[19:12] ou pour vous rendre jusqu'a la merci. >> Merci,
monsieur le Matthews.
[19:20] >> Tout le monde a. Passer un vacance de la
construction et c'est tout le monde avec leur
[19:29] famille. So I just want to hope that everybody
enjoyed their construction, holiday time off
[19:36] and time with family. And welcome back to Council.
>> Thank you. Mr.
[19:48] >> Yes. La da da da par rapport a la cloture
on le projet Belmont. Donc pour le part et
[20:01] donc la cloture voir la tour de la zone, trois
terrains de soccer. So there was a question
[20:09] that was asked during the previous council
meeting pertaining to the installation
[20:13] of a fencing on the terra cotta Belmont project.
Essentially the fencing, there's four
[20:18] intervention zones, and the fencing will be
installed on zone three, which is
[20:23] surrounding the soccer pitch. Thank you, thank
you. They do. >> Du jour 1.1 adoption of the
[20:34] agenda. But before adoption, the adoption of
the agenda, we have to remove 17 point one.
[20:45] Thank. The. >> 8.1. And the reason for being
removed is that we just
[20:55] got some information a little bit too late,
and we just want to make sure that we understand
[20:59] everything. That's the only reason why it's
being removed. Thank you.
[21:07] >> 12.9 approval. >> Mover and seconder for

[21:29] district three. >> Second by. >> Mike Kelsey.
[21:33] >> All in favor. Merci beaucoup. >> Catherine
Baker. >> So just to remind you that
[21:49] everybody has a three minute timer up on the
wall, and that way we'll all get a chance to
[21:54] speak. Thank you. >> Good evening, Mr. Mayor
and council members. I'm here
[21:58] tonight because 80 child care spaces that serve
primarily Pointe Claire families are at
[22:03] risk of being lost through the proposed redevelopment
of 477 Delmar Avenue. I'm a resident
[22:08] of district three and a parent of two children
who attend the Academy daycare. I'm speaking
[22:13] on behalf of many families who depend on this
daycare every day. While the daycare is
[22:18] located in district eight, the majority of
families it serves lives in district three,
five,
[22:22] seven, and eight. For working parents, proximity
matters childcare is part of our daily
[22:27] routine, and having care close to home allows
us to spend more time with our children and
[22:31] maintain a better quality of life. The Daycare's
location within residential areas also
[22:36] supports active transportation. During summer
months, it's common to see bicycles,
[22:40] scooters and strollers lined up outside during
pickup. This use of active transport should
not
[22:44] be minimized. It highlights one of the many
ways that living close to daycare increases
[22:48] quality of life. For many Pointe Claire families,
the daycare proximity to the source
[22:53] station is another advantage for families who
combine childcare drop off with their
[22:56] daily commute. The potential loss of this daycare
would have a measurable impact between
[23:01] highway 20 and highway 40, and between Sources
Boulevard and Saint John's Boulevard. There
[23:06] are six childcare centers providing 426 spaces
for families looking for care in a
[23:12] center environment. The 80 spaces at the academy
represent nearly 20% of the childcare
[23:19] capacity in this zone, losing one in every
five child care spaces would place additional
[23:25] pressure on an already limited childcare system
and force many families to seek care further
[23:29] from home. We often think of roads, parks,
arenas and transit as essential municipal
[23:35] infrastructure, but child care is also essential
infrastructure. Without it,
[23:39] parents cannot fully participate in the workforce,
and communities become less
[23:43] attractive to young families. The city of Pointe
Claire's strategic plan identifies
[23:47] attract and retain families as a key objective,
and preserving child care spaces is directly
[23:52] aligned with that goal. Finally, I want to
put it on public record that Academy Day is
an
[23:58] exceptional example of community integration
in early childhood education, and a
[24:02] model that should be celebrated and preserved.
The children walk to Viking Pool four
[24:06] mornings a week during the summer for swimming
lessons. They use the bus stop across
[24:10] the street to travel to Balbirnie Arena for
skating lessons and to the aquatic
[24:13] center for gym and swim. They use Augusta Park
for daily pickups, and they visit
[24:17] regularly. David Beck, Parc du Voyageur, Stockwell
Park, North Northview Park and Arthur Park
[24:21] as part of their daily activities. This exceptional
level of community integration
[24:26] is made possible in large part because of the
daycares location on Delmar Avenue.
[24:30] Council is being asked to consider the future
of this property. I respectfully ask
[24:33] that you also consider the value of the community
service currently being provided there.
[24:39] Child care is not simply another commercial
use. It is essential infrastructure that
[24:43] allows families to live, work and thrive in
Pointe Claire. Before any decision is made,
I
[24:47] urge council to carefully consider what would
be lost if these 80 child care spaces
[24:51] disappear. While land can be redeveloped, community
assets like this are far more
[24:55] difficult and costly to replace. Thank you
for your time. >> Thank you very much. We've
[25:02] all discussed the council. I don't really have
a lot to say except that, you know, the
[25:06] owner wants to sell the building or he sold
the building. And it's been a big
[25:10] debate around the table. We understand the
importance, but the gentleman has the right
to
[25:14] sell the building and the person buying it.
The zoning is already there for what he wants
[25:18] to do. So, you know, we've looked at it seriously
and we'll see where the future
[25:22] plays out. Thank you, thank you. >> Bonjour,
monsieur. My question concerns exactly.
[25:42] Point paascu. Donc je suis. Aussi Académie
des petites qui est donc avenue del mar et
du
[25:55] cou qui a EU un changement de la Purcell ouvrir
la porte la voix. Du terrain au
[26:06] remplacement du batiment par des maisons individuelles
et du coup moi. Quelques recherches
[26:16] sur pointe le ministere de la famille qui sont
reparti sur. La ville de la Académie des
[26:29] petites plus pratiquement sur la ville de Pointe-Claire
par. ET du cou. Moi je vois. Je veux
[26:44] pas. Mais je comprendre l'intéret pour la
ville pour la communauté de changer et de
[26:56] permettre en fait des maisons a la place de
qui apporte un service qui sont utiles. Merci
[27:04] pour votre attention. >> Merci beaucoup. >>
Juste pour la changement de
[27:14] a déja été. Comme des. Important de savoir.
>> Carl.
[27:32] >> I'd like to submit a. Copy. The same document.
>> No, no, you give it to the
[27:40] legal department. Please. Just give it. >>
So all the councilors, the
[27:45] mayor and the city manager have a copy of that
plan? So some of you might have noticed that
[27:52] I've been asking for a plan. This is came out
in various forms, including cartoons. I
[27:59] wrote a plan and a proposal, and I looked at
it from two perspectives. One, as a
[28:05] potential mayor of the city and one as a concerned
citizen who may have been a victim of a
[28:11] flood. So I created this plan as an outline
and a framework that allows us to communicate
[28:17] properly together as a working team together.
And that was the purpose of that submission.
Now
[28:23] I have two questions. One question is, I've
heard a lot of talk about ETS, so I have
[28:31] only whenever I hear ETSI think of excessive
talking syndrome. So I like to hear from the
[28:37] council what ETS is. I understand it's an engineering
service. I understand that the
[28:44] Pointe Claire goes through a tender process
before selecting. I wanted to know if there's
any
[28:50] affiliation personally with any of the people.
I want to know the scope of what the service
[28:55] is being provided in a general sense that meets
my time restriction. And that's the
[29:00] first question. The second question, you can
answer it, or I can ask the second. The
[29:05] second question is, of the 11 different projects
that were selected by the engineering
[29:12] firm that has been hired, in addition to the
council members who helped make the decision,
[29:18] has the Del Mar watershed project been included
in that? 11 project? That was determined.
[29:27] >> Mr. Gerard, do you want to respond about
the e. T s contract that we have?
[29:31] >> Yeah. So this is l'École de technologie
supérieure, essentially the city of
[29:38] Pointe-Claire. Approximately two years ago
conducted an agreement with the technology
[29:45] to do a study of our stormwater management
network and how we can improve that. I'm giving
[29:51] you the details at a very high level, but if
you want to send me an email, I can send you
[29:57] information that was provided publicly with
that project, and I'll provide you a little
bit
[30:01] more details on the scope of the work that
is done by the BTS that will benefit the city
[30:07] moving forward and identifying the zones that
need intervention with respect to
[30:12] stormwater management. So that's that's the
collaboration that we have with the
[30:17] technologie supérieure. >> Are there any restrictions
with with respect to the reply
[30:21] that you give me in terms of, you know, confidentiality
or this this type of thing.
[30:26] >> Anything that's been done publicly, I'm
allowed to publicly provide you the
[30:31] information. >> Thank you. >> Yep.
[30:34] >> Then both my questions are answered. Thank
you for your time.
[30:37] >> Thank you. >> Danielle Latour. >> Yeah.
This. Oh thank you. No,
[30:53] as long as it's close by, I'm good balance.
Oh. Danielle Latour here. Mr. mayor, members
[31:09] of council, can you hear me? >> Yes. >> Residents
are being asked to
[31:17] accept that our municipality faces increasingly
urgent infrastructure needs from aging
[31:26] water, sewer and drainage systems to recurring
flooding that threatens streets, homes
[31:35] and local businesses. Yet residents should
not have to choose between essential
[31:42] infrastructure renewal, higher property taxes
and reduced municipal services. So I'm
[31:51] asking for a clear commitment. What is the
city's plan to raise the additional capital
[32:02] required to address these urgent infrastructure
needs without increasing property
[32:11] taxes and without cutting essential municipal
services? So I'm asking that question
[32:21] tonight. I know we have restrictions on the
number of minutes we have left, but I
[32:28] would like the city to publicly identify external
funding targets. A dedicated funding
[32:41] strategy, private sector and institutional
partnerships, cost saving opportunities,
[32:53] flood prevention priorities, a transparent,
publicly accountable investment plan.
[33:04] Will the city publish a multi-year infrastructure
plan showing project by project the
[33:17] problem being addressed? The estimated cost,
the urgency and risk level, the external
[33:26] funding being pursued, the city's required
contribution, the expected economic and
[33:34] community benefits and the target completion
date. Most importantly, what will be done
[33:42] now? Residents cannot afford to wait until
another major flood infrastructure failure
or
[33:52] emergency forces the city to spend substantially
more money reacting to problems that could
[34:00] have been prevented. Every dollar invested
in prevention today can potentially avoid
[34:07] much larger costs tomorrow. We therefore need
a proactive strategy. That combines
[34:16] government funding, partnerships, innovation,
cost efficiencies and long term
[34:24] asset management. Will the city publish a multi-year
infrastructure plan showing
[34:36] project by project? Most importantly. Finally,
residents cannot afford to wait until
[34:44] another major flood infrastructure failure
or emergency faces the city to
[34:52] spend substantially more money reacting to
problems that could have been prevented. Every
[34:56] dollar invested in prevention today can potentially
avoid much larger costs.
[35:02] >> I'm gonna have to ask you to stop now. >>
My commitment. Okay. The
[35:06] objectives should be straightforward. Modernize
our aging infrastructure.
[35:12] >> Mr. Latour. >> Flooding protect homes and
businesses. Maintain quality
[35:19] municipal services. Mr. Latour. >> I'm going
to ask you. >> Your property tax burden on
[35:25] residents. Thank you for the opportunity. >>
So everything you mentioned,
[35:29] we're already doing, so as of November of this
year with this new council got put into place,
[35:35] we made water flooding a priority. We've adopted
all our budgets to invest in the
[35:41] infrastructure that needed to that needs work.
It's not just the infrastructure. It's not
[35:46] just the city of Pointe-Claire, it's the city
of Pointe-Claire, it's the residents. It's
[35:50] different levels of government. We went to
provincial government. We just got $6.8
[35:54] million. We looked at our eyes, our capital
expenditure. We that we that is a five year
[35:59] plan. We have reworked that. We've had 6 or
12 meetings since November to readjust
[36:05] everything in order to put the money, allocate
the money towards flood management and
[36:12] infrastructure work. We're not going to fix
this overnight. And you and I, there's no one
[36:16] in this room who can tell us when the next
storm is going to come. But I can tell you
that
[36:21] everybody in the city, the engineering department,
Public Works Administration, council,
[36:26] we are all 100% dedicated to solving or trying
to solve as many of these issues as we can,
[36:35] as fast as we can. The proof is in the pudding.
We got elected in November, December 15th.
We
[36:39] had a public meeting explaining to you the
work that the city had already done. It takes
[36:44] hours and weeks and months to analyze and do
studies and find out when. When we do have
these
[36:50] different storms, we asked the citizens, please
call us and tell us what happened. We need
[36:56] to collect data. We need to collect information
so we can analyze and identify areas. And
[37:01] we every time it's rained the last the last
year, the three storms that we've had, we've
[37:06] found different situations, different problems,
and we're addressing them and we've got
[37:10] experts working on we're doing everything we
can. I'm very confident when I say that we
[37:14] are working so hard on this. I'm proud of what
we're doing. Is it perfect? Is it fast
[37:19] enough? Never. We don't know when the next
storm is going to come. We have no idea. But
I
[37:24] can just tell you that we are you know, we
went out and invested $1 million in buying
[37:28] our own truck, so we'll be able to clean out
the sewers. We'll be able to do intervention
on a
[37:33] regular basis. We don't have to rely on a third
party, a third party, like I said, December
[37:38] 15th meeting, March 15th, we had another meeting
explaining to you about cohabitation and
[37:41] all these different things that you can do
to, to help your help solidify your, your,
your,
[37:45] your system around your house. We came up with
a financial plan supposed to come out in
[37:50] September. We accelerated it. So it was available
July 8th, right after the last storm. So
[37:54] people can start investing in their home. But
again, it's a joint venture and we are all
on
[37:58] board. And I think that the response I'm seeing
from the citizens, the compliments we're
[38:03] getting, obviously, there's there's flood anxiety,
there's some upset people, but I can
[38:08] just tell you that everybody we know, I lived
it, he said. I'm a mayor. I lived being the
[38:14] mayor. I lived being flooded. I lived being
not having enough insurance, and I have flood
[38:18] anxiety. I got it all. So I know what we're
living. So that being said, all everything
you
[38:23] said we're doing and we're doing it well. All
right. And I'm very, very confident and
[38:27] very proud of what we're doing. So thank you.
Next. No, no. Sorry. You have to thank you.
[38:34] >> Gary Carr. >> Mr. mayor, I have two items.
The first being I'd like to
[38:51] thank yourself, your council, the Director
general and your staff for taking care of that
[38:57] intersection of homeless and still view when
it comes to pedestrian safety. Thank you.
[39:03] Well done. Thank you. Secondly, I'd like to
have you guys perhaps take a look at Victor
[39:09] Devies. It's a two way street with no parking.
More times than not you'll find big rigs.
[39:16] They're parked up to three four hours at a
shot. When they do, cars come this way and
somebody
[39:23] coming on. It's a possible, perhaps to get
a center line painted there so they would
[39:29] know it's two way traffic, because sometimes
those big rigs are traveling right dead
[39:34] center in a row, and your public security is
responded to enormous amounts of accidents
[39:40] there. Thank you. >> Yeah. Thank you. We'll
definitely take a look at it.
[39:45] Thank you very much. And thank you for your
compliments. Thank you. That was anybody who's
[39:49] been coming here since, I guess November has
heard about the great intersection still view.
[39:53] It's finally done. So there you go. >> Lorraine.
Pauline.
[40:02] >> Good evening Pauline. 131 Allston District
four. So this is a follow up from the
[40:08] questions asked at the council meeting held
last month. During that meeting, I came before
you
[40:12] and asked what the city was going to do about
two specific topics the inability of the
[40:17] city's infrastructure to take away water from
residents properties, and the ditch
[40:21] located on the townhouse property, both in
August 2024 and June of this year. Our
[40:28] house flooded. After the first flood. We spent
several tens of thousands of dollars in
[40:33] improvements and renovations to our homes infrastructure
to prevent this from happening
[40:38] again. Less than two years later, in June,
we were flooded again, as were many of the
[40:43] residents here. Tonight I have two sump pumps
installed, and they were not able to send any
[40:48] water to the city's pipes because they were
full, providing subsidies to
[40:53] homeowners to protect their own homes can only
go so far when the city's infrastructure is
[40:57] ill suited to deal with the new reality of
the rainfall. So I ask you as my first question,
[41:03] what will the city do to improve the infrastructure
on Alston Avenue, a street that
[41:08] has been transformed by the amount of development
that has gone on around it? Second,
[41:15] residents warned the city many years ago about
their concerns with the development being
[41:21] built on wetlands and located so close to our
property line. We warned again about the ditch
[41:28] that was receiving a constant flow of water,
even in dry conditions from pumps under
[41:34] those townhouses. Those pumps empty into an
open ditch. Finally, I warned the city
[41:42] about the unusually high level of water in
these ditches. Just a few weeks before June's
[41:47] flooding. During the June event, this ditch
was completely filled and had saturated my
own
[41:53] yard, leaving me no doubt that it contributed
to our flooding this time. Besides that, it
has
[42:00] been filled with algae, bulrushes and become
has become a breeding ground for
[42:05] mosquitoes because it is not functioning as
per the plans approved by the city. Our own
[42:11] councilor, Mr. Swidsinski, has requested plans
and studies related to the project through
[42:16] an access to information request many, many
weeks ago. But as of now that has not been
[42:23] approved. So I'll ask again what is the city
prepared to do to protect the residents of
[42:29] Allston who have this constant flood threat
in our backyards? >> So to answer your first
[42:35] question about what the city is going to do
about infrastructure in Austin, and
[42:38] you mentioned that your sump pumps are running
in the the system could not take the water,
[42:44] so it wasn't going anywhere. One thing that
we're looking at is changing the bylaw on how
a
[42:50] sump pump is connected up to the city services,
and that in the event that the city
[42:55] services are full, then you would have a bypass
and would spit the water out onto a lawn
[43:00] or into a rain garden or whatever. So that's
a building code thing that we have to look
[43:04] at. And we're looking at changing that so that
that would solve that problem.
[43:08] >> Hopefully the city will pay for that, sir.
>> We won't pay for it.
[43:11] Depending on, on the on the situation. It would
be something we would pay for in
[43:15] our financial plan. If you have a sump pump,
it needs to be adjusted to to help water from
[43:21] coming back into your house. Yes, we look at
it for sure. >> But the the I believe that
[43:27] the recommendation or the, the bylaws from
the city required that the, that the sump pumps
[43:34] had to be emptied into the city. Right. Infrastructure
previously.
[43:37] >> Right. So now with the new reality and we're
going with the certain code that we're
[43:42] following, but that that might have to change.
So that has to change. And if you've never
had
[43:48] a problem in your house before, well, then
you won't have to do it. If you've had a problem,
[43:52] you might be one of the candidates to ask for
compensation to make that
[43:56] change. >> And where, where would that water
flow to?
[43:58] >> It would flow into somewhere on your property,
into a rain garden, onto your lawn. What it
[44:03] does is it ends up, instead of forcing it into
a system, it was already blocked, it puts it
[44:08] on to a property and it will disperse slowly.
It will end up in the sewer system eventually,
[44:13] but it slows down the flow and overwhelming
the sewer system. So you're not the only one.
[44:17] >> I'd be interested to see how that would
work when I have the water in my backyard already.
[44:24] >> I'm just telling you what we're looking
at in general. Okay? And I'm not only your,
[44:30] but in general. The other question about this.
We have met with the association, the
[44:36] lady sitting right here, we met last week at
the City Hall with engineering, with your yourself
[44:42] and a couple of other people. And we went over
the plans. We went over some situations.
[44:48] They've agreed to look at their property and
hire a specialist to look at what they have
to do
[44:54] to mitigate the water on their property. And
step by step, we're going to see what can be
[44:58] done to make it a better situation. >> Okay,
so in response to that,
[45:03] I just want to point out that they are prima
three. I'm talking about prima two, right?
[45:09] Which is a different ditch and a completely
different. >> It's a one right along the
[45:12] back, right along Austin. Austin. I see. Austin.
Yeah. But that ditch, if I remember
[45:18] right, it's we, we sent somebody there the
other day in their big rain. The day that we
[45:24] it's not. >> It's not, it's not her. >> It's
not her. But we sent
[45:29] somebody on that property that day and everything
was, was. >> To, to the ditch behind my
[45:34] house. >> Yes. We were there and it seemed
to be running fine from
[45:37] what I was told. But let's we met with them.
We solved that problem. Let's. Andrew brings
[45:43] up your question all the time. We've done an
intervention. We've looked at it. I'll get
[45:49] more information. We'll get back to you. But
right now, that ditch was working fine the
[45:53] last time. It didn't overflow. From what I
understand, it did not overflow, did it in
June.
[45:57] >> It did not. It did not physically overflow,
but it was near the top. That was the
[46:04] wettest part of my my. >> But it did his job.
>> No, it did not, because the
[46:08] residents had two of their own gas pumps to
empty out into the into the forest.
[46:14] >> Okay, so let. >> Me pump water out to save
their own houses.
[46:17] >> So let me get you. We'll call you back.
Mr. We'll get some more information and we'll
[46:22] get you. Because we were over there the other
day looking at it in the rain. So we'll we'll
[46:26] get back to you. >> I'd love to visit it with
you.
[46:29] >> Perfect. Last time I went to visit, I had
been removed, by the way they removed me from
[46:34] the property. But if I can get permission to
go there, I'd love to go there. Okay, perfect.
[46:39] Thank you. Thank you. >> Just clarify what
you just said about pumping into the
[46:43] wetland. Who's pumping into the wetland? Nobody
houses on Nelson or the.
[46:48] >> No. The residents of prima two during the
June 20th event. Yes. In order to empty the
[46:55] ditch so that it would not cause catastrophic
event in their townhouses, they pumped
[47:01] it into the forest with two gasoline generators.
Okay. >> Thank you. We got your
[47:11] contact information. We'll get back to you.
Thank you. >> Daniel Nishimaru.
[47:21] >> Good evening. I would like to start. Thank
the the city, Mr. Belvedere, with your
[47:29] technical expert team as well, including Mr.
Fillon, for the meeting we had on July 28th.
[47:34] I'm a resident from premature. So in that meeting,
just to. I would like to follow up with
[47:40] some actions. But just to summarize what we
understood that the city system is not
[47:46] capable to deal with all the amount of rain
that is being happening in the last five
[47:51] years. Right. And there is nothing that could
be done in the short term. So you are
[47:56] working hard on that. But in the short term,
there is not what could be done in order to
[48:00] improve this amount of rain, that the system
seat system can capture from our property.
[48:06] Right? So it, it shows to us that more than
ever, we need to work together with the city
[48:12] with some solutions. We discuss about that,
some solutions. We are working hard on every
[48:17] single solution we discuss that we can do right.
We are working extremely hard on that and we
[48:23] will make sure. And one of those things is
the ditch, right? That staff will talk
[48:27] more about that later on, but in that meeting
as well. So we made some quick calculations
[48:32] with your technical team, what we would be
required to do in our property in order to
[48:37] capture this 150mm of rain. And our conclusion
is we need half of Olympic pool. And we talk
[48:44] about millions of liters of waters, which it
was very clear that something impractical to
[48:49] be done in our property. Right? We can look
into the ditch, we can enlarge the ditch, but
by
[48:54] itself is not sufficient. And in that meeting
there, so the city had one of the actions was
[49:00] to look into the wood that my colleague mentioned,
the forest there to potentially do a
[49:06] containment pool. Understand, it's not easy,
but we need to keep in mind it's extreme time.
[49:11] It requires extreme actions. And I know it's
hard. We don't expect anything less from the
[49:16] city to work as hard as we are doing on our
property. And another thing as well, the
[49:21] other action. When I talk to Mr. Filion about
the system, the way it works, it's possible
[49:27] that water is coming from the system into our
property because there is no like one
[49:32] way valve, so maybe there is water coming from
the system and will come back to our
[49:37] property. So even if we could build half of
Olympic pool, which we cannot, we would not
[49:42] be able to contain all the water from the system.
Right? So something for the city to
[49:47] look at it. Is it possible to install one way
valve or another type of solution in
[49:53] order to avoid water from the system city system
come into our property, because there is
[49:59] no way we can do all of those, right? I understand
the deficiency on the system, on
[50:03] the system. We are ready to work together with
you guys, and I would like to have a
[50:08] feedback, a follow up on those actions. Thank
you. >> Well, I thought we had a
[50:14] great meeting. Thank you very much. It was
cordial, it was professional. And you guys
came
[50:18] with a lot of knowledge and you were made aware.
I think that we did our homework too, and we
[50:23] had the drawings and everything and showed
you. I'm quite confident that. Our our stuff
[50:31] is working, but you have some work to do too.
And it's a joint venture. Right. And that
[50:36] we agreed on and we did talk about your idea
about the retention, using the park for
[50:40] the retention basin, and Mr. Filion said he
would look into. It was a great idea. That
was a
[50:45] week ago. Give us some time. Just like you
guys have to go out and hire a consultant to
[50:51] look at what you can do to. So what you guys
find out that you have to do on your property.
[50:56] And then we look at what we have already on
our system. We can hopefully resolve the
[51:00] problem. Right? But in the meantime, it's work
in progress. You have work to do. And we're
[51:04] going to look at we're going to look at using,
like I said, that park as a as a retention
[51:10] tank. But you guys have to get your property
evaluated to see what you can do to be more
[51:14] efficient, to absorb more water. Yes, the ditch
will help the type of, you know, the gardens
[51:20] are sponge parks, whatever you can do on your
property. I'm not telling you what to do, how
[51:25] to do it, but you will get an expert that will
will determine what you can do. And then we'll
[51:30] take it from there. Because you saw in the
plans that the original plan that was drawn
up
[51:35] by the consultant before the project or when
the project was designed, it had all that in
[51:39] there. I mean, nobody expected 150mm of rain,
right? So we are adapting to a new reality.
But
[51:45] again, together we're going to get there, right?
It's not only your project. Everybody in this
[51:49] room has issues that we have to work together
and find solutions every day. We have to
[51:55] come up with a new solution, new problem, solve
it and we'll get there. But it's going to
[52:00] take time. So you do what you have to do. We're
just going to do what we have to do and
[52:05] hopefully it's going to resolve it. >> So just
to make sure if you
[52:08] understood, Mr. Mayor, so your team is is working
in order to check what could be done on the
[52:13] park forest. >> You mentioned. >> That he.
[52:15] >> Really thought it was a good idea and he
would look into it. >> Right.
[52:19] >> He said he thought it was a good idea and
he would look into it. Right. So that's.
[52:24] >> Just to let you know. So we are working
as well on our side as well. As soon as we
have
[52:29] some proposal, we will need to have another
meeting with the city in order to understand
all
[52:34] those interfaces. But we will let you know
about it. >> Perfect. That's what we're
[52:37] waiting for. >> Okay. And another action, maybe
if you can follow up is
[52:41] to see the system city system. If there is
a way to block the water coming from the city
[52:46] system coming to our property, we would appreciate.
>> As well. I'll ask that
[52:49] question, but I don't remember that conversation.
But I'll ask the question.
[52:52] >> Okay. Perfect. Thank you very much. Okay.
Have a good evening.
[52:55] >> George Fragedakis. >> Good evening, Mr.
Mayor. >> Good evening.
[53:04] >> Council members. My issue is road safety.
I've been a resident on Cano Avenue since
[53:12] October 1st, and it became evident to me that
trucks and commercial vehicles are using
[53:19] De Cano between Del Mar and Avro to bypass
traffic lights on Hymas and sources. I reached
[53:28] out to City Councilor Mr. In early January.
I've reached out to police. The police has
come
[53:36] out a few times, has given many tickets, has
confirmed my concerns. I see 18 wheelers up
[53:47] to five a day. We talked about a daycare being
right at the corner of Del Mar and de Canal
[53:54] de Cano has three corridor scolaire signs,
two crosswalks and a stop sign. So I find it
[54:02] very hard to believe how an 18 Wheeler can
negotiate a crosswalk, two of them, or that
[54:08] intersection at Del Mar and Cano. I don't know
how they pull that off. So I want action.
[54:15] I know, I know the expectation of police to
be there on a daily basis is unreasonable.
I
[54:22] see parading trucks going east, sorry, West
returning back to their hub. Right. They know
Del
[54:30] Mar service road and back to the plant. Something
has to be done because kids are on their
[54:36] bikes, kids are on their scooters, kids are
walking to school in a month's time. So my
[54:41] concern is the safety of pedestrians, children.
And I won't talk about speeding
[54:48] because speeding is is a known issue as well.
But the main one is I cringe every time I see
an
[54:53] 18 Wheeler from my window. >> So I can just
tell you that Mr. Potvin is well aware, has
[54:58] brought it to our attention many times. We
brought it, we've discussed it, we've
[55:02] brought it to traffic committee. We're looking
at solutions. We're aware of the problem. The
[55:06] police, like you said, have shown up and ticketed
people. Part of it may be is ways we
[55:12] tell the trucks to go that way. To me, it's
the shortest route, whatever. But we're looking
at
[55:16] it. I don't have the answers solutions right
now as we speak, but we have had this
[55:20] conversation and we will have to get back to
you because I don't remember all the details.
[55:25] We're still discussing it at the traffic committee,
and our next meeting is only in
[55:28] September now. But we did come to the table.
>> My understanding is that
[55:32] there'll be signs. >> There's signage. Additional
signage.
[55:35] >> There is no signage at strategic area. >>
There will be additional
[55:38] signage. There's a bunch of stuff that we talked
about. I just don't remember all.
[55:42] >> But I was also told that it's it's a deterrent,
right? It's not. But I think 18
[55:48] Wheeler is going on. De Cano has to stop. >>
Well, absolutely. We agree
[55:52] with that. It's how. >> Do we do not take.
>> No no no no. We agree that
[55:56] they shouldn't be there. We absolutely agree.
How do we deter them from turning.
[56:00] >> That an 18 Wheeler can't see a child. >>
Right.
[56:03] >> Right from that height. >> Just to clarify,
there's signage that says no trucks
[56:07] allowed, but they need to be made more evident.
>> Prior to 1818, Wheeler
[56:14] trucks are not from Pointe-Claire. They're
coming from. And they don't they don't
[56:18] care on the highway. Why would they care? And
they cannot. >> So we're well aware we
[56:23] discussed it. We're going to make the signage
more evident, like Mr. Matthews said. And
[56:27] we'll once. >> The sign young children. Right.
Well, others do. I'm a
[56:31] concerned citizen. >> And I you know what I
hear you I you know, and it's it's
[56:36] hard to fix. I mean, they they out of their
own intelligence, they should not be turning
that
[56:41] right. But it's amazing of saving two minutes,
you know. But thank you. And it's not has
[56:46] not fallen on deaf ears. >> All right. >> Thank
you. Thank you.
[56:52] >> The ninth person asked to be removed. So
we'll move on to the next person, Monsieur
[56:57] Martin Gendron. >> Mr. mayor, I can just make
a comment. Somebody who's
[57:01] watching at home commented that the people
were speaking are not close enough to the mic,
so
[57:07] that they're not really able to hear what people
are saying, so fewer people will come up. You
[57:12] can just try and pull the mic closer to your
mouth so that people can hear you. Thank you.
[57:17] >> Thank you. >> Mr. Voter administration pour
tous les efforts qu'on
[57:48] peut voir ce qu'on peut pour voir qui vous
entrepreneurs pour le problem of the climate
[57:55] change and the floodings. >> We're going to
just adjust the might get it closer to you,
[58:00] please. Voila. Merci beaucoup. >> Okay, I just
hope I was well understood.
[58:05] >> Yes you were. >> Thank you. There. Martin
Gendron. For the residents
[58:11] whose properties are affected by Sunnyside's
aqueduct system, the drainage ditches. Have
[58:21] really. >> You can't get close enough. >> Is
this good? Like this?
[58:32] Proportion call. Okay, so Martin Gendron, for
the residents whose properties are
[58:41] affected by Sunnyside's aqueduct system, the
drainage ditches the residents and many
[58:47] others live in fear. Mr. mayor, in the apprehension
of the next storm to come, bringing
[58:55] torrential rain and floodings, the hydro will.
The hydro, the electricity hold on through
to
[59:03] power our pump and our sump pumps in the backyards?
Drainage ditches do not require
[59:11] electricity. Water has inertia. It follows
gravity. Water will follow the slope of the
[59:21] drainage ditches. As long as there is a slope.
In the absence of a slope where the
[59:30] land is landfilled. 107 Sunnyside 110 and 112
Sunnyside. Upstream, water spills out and
[59:41] fans onto the backyards, and then it proceeds
to the next houses. And then the third. And
[59:48] on and on. It's unfortunate and unfair. I see
neighbors spending thousands, tens of
[59:56] thousands, Mr. Mayor. To cope on their own
when the prospect of a solution will be so
[1:00:07] insular, almost futile. We all pay the same
taxes. Hope. There wasn't hope there was in
the
[1:00:19] world of July, hoping for a crew of land surveyors,
hoping for the repair of the down
[1:00:26] slope, hoping for the storm before the storm
of August. And that's the storm that's going
[1:00:33] to come. It's it's invaluable. In August. We
have a terrible storm, so we live in fear and
[1:00:40] apprehension. We hope that the hydro will hold
on so we can keep our pumps on. We, the
[1:00:48] residents affected by the Sunnyside drainage
ditches cannot be coping with piecemeal
[1:00:56] interventions on our own. We are asking this
administration for the repair of the drainage
[1:01:04] ditches as a way to encompass all of the backyards.
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
[1:01:13] >> Thank you very much for your comments. Your
questions. We're aware of the situation on
[1:01:19] Sunnyside, Cool Breeze, all in that area. We've
held meetings discussing it. It's not clear
[1:01:27] cut. You're well informed and some are privately
owned. Some are city owned. Some have been
[1:01:35] filled in by residents who have decided to
extend their backyard and filled in the
[1:01:39] ditch and put a garden shed on. So these are
all things we're looking at. We know it's like
[1:01:44] everything else we're looking at. All this
unfortunately, takes time, lots of work, and.
[1:01:49] But again, we're we've got a committee looking
at it and we're trying to find solutions
[1:01:54] and how we're going to approach. Even if they
are owned by the city and they're in your
[1:02:02] backyard, you actually have a responsibility
to find out, to maintain them to, to make sure
[1:02:06] they work. So these are all things we're looking
at, and to come up with a plan that we can
[1:02:12] that's going to work for everybody. And there
might be some very happy people. There
[1:02:16] might be some very upset people who have to
move a garden shed or dig up a fence or whatever.
[1:02:21] But these are all things that we just can't
do overnight. We have to. And that's what we're
[1:02:25] we're trying to get there now, trying to recognize
the issues and come up with solutions for
[1:02:30] them all. >> We are we are a community together,
Mr. Mayor.
[1:02:35] >> Absolutely. >> It's not because somebody
is insular that they're above. No,
[1:02:40] the, the, the well-being and the safety of
the community as a whole. Sir.
[1:02:45] >> No. And I agree with you, and we know the
importance of solving your problems in your
[1:02:51] area. We've been we've been we've already had
two meetings just about that. Okay. So we're
[1:02:56] trying to find solutions. And it's, there's
a lot of research to do to find out who owns
them
[1:03:01] and what, who, what's on the city property,
what's on the private property. And these are
[1:03:06] all things we're identifying. And people will
be getting letters in their mail notifying
[1:03:10] them of the situations. >> Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
Thank you.
[1:03:14] >> Very much. Thank you. >> Nasser al Dhabi.
>> Good evening.
[1:03:25] >> Good evening. Just lowered fray. There you
go. >> We get the flood. For the
[1:03:31] last three years, the 24, 25 and 26 and cost
us a lot of money. And every year the
[1:03:40] increasing our taxes and our value of the houses
and what's happening is the opposite. So
[1:03:47] our soon you're going to have the budget for
26 or the 27. Are you going the increase our
[1:03:56] taxes for all water costs. That happened to
us for all the flooding.
[1:04:00] >> So I'm going to answer. You know, I know
you complain about the taxes all the time.
Every
[1:04:05] time you come to the phone, to the microphone,
don't forget something. Montreal raised our
[1:04:10] portion of Montreal by $18 million last year,
$18 million. We're paying Montreal $106
[1:04:18] million a year. We're paying them 54% of our
budget, or 56% of our budget goes to Montreal.
[1:04:26] So we're managing the city on 44%. Okay. And
all the services we have not cut services.
We're
[1:04:33] we're adapting to climate change. We're spending
over $40 million in our capital
[1:04:37] expenditures this year to a fixed infrastructure
and help with the the water situation
[1:04:42] and get the road surface better. And, and we're
managing it efficiently the best we can.
[1:04:48] And we're getting there. But I mean, do we
increase taxes? We are always worried. We're
[1:04:53] waiting for Montreal to come out with their
new increase. And November is not far away.
[1:04:58] We're all going to find you're going to find
out when we find out. And we rely on Montreal
[1:05:03] because we have to pay Montreal. We have no
negotiations with Montreal. This is what they
[1:05:07] charge us. We have to pay, and we have to come
up with that money one way or another. So
[1:05:12] either we we increase his tax a little bit
to compensate for it. And we maintain our services,
[1:05:16] or we start cutting services. And we have no
intention of cutting services. And I think
[1:05:20] for the the amount of money that we, the increase
we've had over the last few years from
[1:05:25] Montreal, we have done a heck of a job being
able to keep taxes reasonably low and
[1:05:30] maintaining services. >> Yeah, but. >> That's
what we're up against.
[1:05:34] >> Yeah. But the flood and all what's happened
to us is not our fault, is that it's because
[1:05:39] the infrastructure is too old. >> Nobody's
nobody's fault. Mother nature is mother's
[1:05:42] nature. I'm not going to. You can't blame the
City for 118mm, or 115mm of rain in 30 minutes.
[1:05:49] You can't blame the city. You can't. We have
to work on this together. So we have we have
to
[1:05:54] come to reality. This is this is a reality.
Climate change is here. It's going to happen
[1:06:00] again. We cannot dig up every street, change
every pipe. Even the largest pipes would not
[1:06:06] accommodate all the water that fell because
the sewers, the top, it can't get in the system
[1:06:10] fast enough. So we are trying to come up with
other solutions. We just announced we got $6.8
[1:06:16] million, which is just a drop in the bucket,
but it's going to get us 11 projects that will
[1:06:22] be able to help mitigate the water situation.
And it's not by putting the water in the
[1:06:27] sewer is going to solve the problems by putting
the water in the green spaces, in the
[1:06:31] parks, in the retention tanks. That's what's
going to help us. And that's what we're doing.
[1:06:35] And I mean, we're working full time at this,
and we're getting the support of the Quebec
[1:06:40] government. We're getting the support of a
of our of our employees to put all their
[1:06:44] energy into this. So that's where we're at.
>> Yeah, I understand about all
[1:06:48] what you're saying, but we have to fight for
the city of Montreal. What they charging us
[1:06:53] all this. >> That's another battle. That's
another battle. That's a
[1:06:57] completely different battle. And that's. We're
doing that fight. And we're. But that's,
[1:07:02] you know, that's a long battle. And that's
going to be with the provincial government
because
[1:07:06] they're the only ones that can change it. We're
fighting to get it changed. And the new
[1:07:10] mayor of Montreal says that she wants to look
at it and understand it. And because
[1:07:14] she's going to come up with her own budget
at this November. So let's see where her let's
see
[1:07:19] what she does this November. Okay? Okay. Because
she's been working with us. We've met with
[1:07:23] her many times. She's been talking the talk.
Let's see what.
[1:07:26] >> Can work with you. Like you can ask us,
we can help you to get all together.
[1:07:31] >> I'd love it, but I mean, it's it's. >> It's
you're the leader.
[1:07:33] We're supposed to follow you. >> You were 15
minutes parties that that are de-merged. We're
[1:07:40] all on the same page. We all represent all
the citizens of the Mercedes, the Mercedes,
all
[1:07:45] the mayors. And you don't know what goes on
in the back room. But we're we're we're fighting
[1:07:50] with the provincial government. We're fighting
with Montreal. We're trying to explain to them
[1:07:54] that we're overpaying. But Montreal, to me
is broke. They need our money. And so they
[1:07:59] can't just say, you know what, we're going
to make it right and correct the problem because
[1:08:03] they don't have the money. So it's a very tough
game. But Beaconfield is in Montreal
[1:08:07] right now. We're all on the same page. Beaconsfield
decided to go on their own. So right
[1:08:12] now Montreal cannot talk to us until this court
case is settled. Montreal but behind
[1:08:16] the scenes, we're doing all kinds of stuff
and hopefully, look, I can't guarantee
[1:08:20] anything. It's been going on for 20 years,
but it's not because we haven't fought the
[1:08:24] fight. It's just because there's many other
scenarios behind the scenes that that
[1:08:28] keeps on getting in the way. >> Okay, my second
question I asked about, you know, in the
[1:08:34] summer, we're breeding all the the fire from
all over Quebec and Canada and the state. So
[1:08:41] breeding all the pollution. And in winter,
some people burning wood and palate and we're
[1:08:47] breeding all that. So when I ask you, you said
you're working on to stop all that
[1:08:54] because that is practicing in 19th century
when there was no electricity. But now there
are
[1:09:00] too many solutions. So when are you going to
stop burning pellet and and wood in
[1:09:07] Pointe-Claire? There are too many city already.
Stop it. Since a long time, even some
[1:09:11] city. They are paying the resident to buy back
the gas and more to pay them to buy
[1:09:20] electric. So this they care about the the environment.
So when are we going to stop that?
[1:09:25] >> So you're you've been here at every meeting.
You've heard that Eric Storch and Councilor
[1:09:30] Tremblay has formed a committee with the legal
department, with urban planning to look at
the
[1:09:35] wood stove situation. Pointe-Claire had one
of the most up to date wood stove
[1:09:40] bylaw going back many years ago. The other
municipalities who are adopting bylaws for
wood
[1:09:45] stoves now are adopting what we already have.
Okay, but we're trying to take it another step,
[1:09:51] father. I don't know what Eric and Bruno and
these guys have come up with. I have not seen
[1:09:55] the what they what they're going to propose,
but it's coming to our table soon, I
[1:09:59] believe, Mr. Storch. Now. >> I think our next
meeting, if I'm not mistaken, the councilor
[1:10:03] Bruno, is next week. Right? Exactly. So it
is being looked at. It's been reviewed multiple
[1:10:08] times. Obviously, I can't disclose what we're.
Discussions are headed, but I
[1:10:13] can tell you it's very avant garde. There's
some decisions to be made. But, you know, we
[1:10:17] have to catch up and get ahead. It's a question
of how far we go ahead. But it's a concern.
[1:10:22] We're all aware of it and it's going to be
addressed. But like anything else, it takes
time.
[1:10:27] We have a legal department that has a certain
amount of hours. Do we put flood mitigation
[1:10:32] bylaws ahead of wood burning? You know, there's
there's it's allocation of resources as well.
[1:10:38] So I wished, I think that it would have been
completed a bit sooner. But once again, would
[1:10:43] you rather, you know, flood mitigation or,
you know, so it's we're doing our best. But
[1:10:48] I firmly believe that September we should have
something. If I'm not mistaken. Councilor
[1:10:52] Bruno and September, October, November by November
we you know, we should have something.
[1:10:58] Any words to say, Councilor Bruno? >> Yeah.
It's. Yes. Sorry. You
[1:11:04] caught me by surprise referring to me as Councilor
Bruno. But it's okay. It's okay. No, no.
[1:11:12] So to catch up on what you were thinking. Yes
we were. We're working diligently on this.
[1:11:16] We've gone back and forth on a number of occasions
reviewing the bylaws that exist in other
[1:11:23] cities, looking at our bylaw, looking at the
science behind it. And I'm optimistic that
[1:11:29] we're going to be able to be in a position
to improve our position on on wood stoves.
And
[1:11:34] I agree fully this is an issue that we need
to start to have control over. The quality
of
[1:11:38] our air is, is, is extremely important. It's
it's an obvious thing to say, but it's clearly
[1:11:46] essential to us, especially in the winter,
in the winter months. Sorry, I was letting
[1:11:52] you continue, Eric. So I was a little bit behind
the the punch there. Okay, good.
[1:11:58] >> So the, the, the summary is we're working
on it. We'll be bringing something to the
[1:12:03] public soon. >> Thank you. But because it's
a small minority, really what
[1:12:06] they're burning the wood and palate. So if
we're not stopping that, we just, you
[1:12:12] know, promoting for the for the small minority
to keep continue. So thank you for your effort.
[1:12:19] And I hope we see it next, next month. >> Thank
you. Thank you.
[1:12:25] >> Stefan Lorant. Bonjour. >> Good evening.
>> Stephanie. Lorraine, part of
[1:12:37] the primary construction on Avenue Mason. I
want to echo Daniel's appreciation, Mr.
[1:12:44] Mayor, and to the council, thank you again
for taking the time to meet with us a couple
[1:12:49] of weeks ago. Out of your busy schedules, we
know there's a lot going on behind the scenes.
[1:12:53] And to take the time, even outside of this
type of environment, is very
[1:12:57] appreciated. Following that meeting and your
suggestions, we have actually moved forward
[1:13:02] with one first professional evaluation from
Du Bois and was kindly answered last week from
[1:13:10] Eco Habitation, who's speaking very positively
about the work you guys are doing together.
[1:13:14] They've also committed to visiting our property
and have just recommended that they
[1:13:18] finish the work with your team, so that the
evaluation they can give us is fully representative
[1:13:23] of all the factors connected to your city.
Obviously, details weren't shared, but it sounds
[1:13:29] like there's a lot behind the scenes, and we've
also started to move forward with quotes and
[1:13:34] evaluations from different professional excavators
that can offer to help us with the
[1:13:39] primary water retention system, which is that
ditch everyone keeps speaking about, which
[1:13:45] should promise to help us retain, based on
our most heavy rains, about 50% to 60% of
[1:13:51] water that falls in an extreme case scenario,
which is a great start. My question you might
be
[1:13:56] able to answer pretty quickly based on your
opening remarks, and that there's a meeting
on
[1:14:02] August 25th about the adaptation to the stormwater
subsidy program. I wanted to
[1:14:07] follow up and see if there was further discussion
with the council and your legal team
[1:14:11] about us being able to apply some of that subsidy
to the co co-owned property outside of
[1:14:18] the homes to support those improvements, if
they're deemed, of course, material to helping
[1:14:25] reduce flooding impact. >> We've had the discussion
right after your meeting. We've
[1:14:28] had the discussion and we're analyzing it.
And on August 25th, we'll have an answer by
[1:14:37] then. And if it's favorable or unfavorable,
will be in those changes that are coming up.
But
[1:14:42] it's a little bit complicated because it's
co-ownership. But there are certain things
that
[1:14:45] you do own. Part of your property is yours
and there's stuff that's going. So that's
[1:14:49] what we're looking at. We're just trying to
get a legal get around the legal part of it.
[1:14:53] But yeah, we'll get to that by August 25th.
>> Wonderful. So that was my
[1:14:57] question tonight is to, to have it considered
to be addressed in that in that reevaluation.
[1:15:02] So thank you. >> Thank you. >> Stefan Gauguin.
[1:15:16] >> I good evening. >> Good evening. Mr. Mayor
and Councilor. I have two questions
[1:15:24] tonight. One is about the the water storm management,
financial assistance. It's. I
[1:15:36] see we see that you you make some modification
for adding the townhouse. I'm in prima one.
[1:15:45] So I see prima one, 2 or 3. >> Everybody the
whole family. >> So all project is here. So.
[1:15:56] I just want to know because it's only for the
properties, individual properties who can
[1:16:04] ask for the the the assistance. In our case
we have a retention basin and and is higher
than
[1:16:17] all our garage. All the the entrance for the
basement. And it's so it's overflowing inside
[1:16:29] the garage. Is there a way for individual people
to, to do something about that because.
[1:16:36] >> Well, so that's what we're looking at. And
that's what we're going to have to clarify.
[1:16:40] Hopefully by August 25th, the definition of
what. Because unique condos are unique
[1:16:46] because you have cool stuff. Stuff is cool
shared, right? Yeah. It's not only owned by
[1:16:51] the. >> No, no, it's the. >> So that's what
we're trying
[1:16:54] to clarify and see what. So hopefully by August
25th, we'll have a much clearer definition
[1:17:00] of what eligible for and what you're not. >>
Okay.
[1:17:02] >> All right. >> And my second question is
about the a bit similar is the
[1:17:10] basin of retention has a limited debit to go
out. It takes three days to evacuate.
[1:17:21] And as we are higher than the the garage we
are wondering is, is, is that the decrease
of
[1:17:31] size of piping at the for evacuation. Is it
normal for three days or is.
[1:17:39] >> Why are you asking me? I don't know, I don't
even know the tank that's on your
[1:17:44] property. You know, we have to get somebody
to look at it. It's part of your co-ownership,
[1:17:49] right? Yeah. So I mean, you should get the
co-ownership to look at it. And just like prima
[1:17:53] three hired a specialist to look at their property.
Maybe prima one needs to get on that
[1:17:58] bandwagon, have an evaluation of their situation
to. I can't answer that question.
[1:18:02] >> No, no, no, I, I just want to to bring the
facts. And we don't know if it's if it's
[1:18:11] normal, the size. >> And I don't know, honestly,
you have to talk to your co
[1:18:16] ownership there. >> And who should we ask for
for information about that.
[1:18:21] >> Talk to prima three over there and she'll
give you the name of a specialist because
[1:18:27] they've hired people. So they'll give you a
name of somebody. I mean, I can't give
[1:18:31] you a name of anybody could. Okay. >> All right.
Thank you very
[1:18:34] much. Thank you. Have a nice evening. >> Bye
bye.
[1:18:37] >> Catherine Schwartz. >> Hello. >> Good evening.
[1:18:43] >> Hi. I live at 93 Vincent in district three.
It's right behind. So sources run through
[1:18:49] our backyard. You know, you know all about
it. And I'm here on behalf of several residents
[1:18:53] because we're impacted by the significant vibrations
behind our houses. Do you want me to
[1:18:59] read my whole thing, or do. >> You seem to
know. >> All about it.
[1:19:03] >> Situation and I don't want to cut you off.
If you want to read.
[1:19:07] >> It, go ahead. It's fine aware of it. >>
You know it's worse since.
[1:19:11] >> May 25th. Yeah. >> We did an intervention
and it worked for a bit, but now it
[1:19:15] didn't work. Now it's not working. No. The
director of Public Works, Mr. Girouard, was
[1:19:19] on vacation, so he's not aware. But I did talk
to Director of Public Works, and we have to
[1:19:23] look at a bigger project, do a bigger patch.
Yeah, it's a lot more money. Yeah. And we're.
[1:19:29] Mr. Gerard just got back from vacation yesterday.
He's going to be informed that we have to
[1:19:33] spend a little bit more money next year and
we have to find it. But we we're looking at
[1:19:38] what we it's a bigger thing to do it. And,
you know, it doesn't take much a little bump
[1:19:43] in the road and the trucks going over it. >>
Oh, I know. It's the manhole
[1:19:47] cover specifically. It's like a ramp. And then
they land and then it starts at 4 a.m. and
it
[1:19:52] doesn't stop. >> We'll, they're going to go
back and look to see if they
[1:19:56] can do anything short term again. But we're
looking at a bigger project for next spring.
[1:20:00] >> Do you have any hope. >> To give me about?
>> But it's funny because
[1:20:04] somebody wrote me and said to me, well, Hampstead
had the same problem. They just solved
[1:20:08] it. But it took. And I wrote back, not being
sarcastic but two times that ten years to to
[1:20:13] finally get that project done, we're not going
to be ten years. >> Okay.
[1:20:16] >> We're looking at it now. And if we can do
something short term to get you through to
the
[1:20:21] spring, we'll do it. >> Okay, great. >> But
it's a bigger to do,
[1:20:25] right? It's a bigger project. >> Yes. And how
will you communicate or should I just.
[1:20:29] >> Well, Kelly will get back to you. Yeah.
I mean, we we're all on top of it. We all have
your
[1:20:34] emails and yeah, we'll Kelly will be able to
reach out to you.
[1:20:38] >> So when we have the details, there's a few
of you on the thread I can respond to, to,
to
[1:20:43] that message. If not, if if not everyone's
included, just reach out to me and I'll make
sure
[1:20:47] that everyone gets the same message. >> Okay?
[1:20:49] >> Okay. >> Thank you so much. >> Excuse me,
Mr. Mayor. If if
[1:20:53] you don't mind, could you just maybe give us.
>> A summary of what happens?
[1:20:57] >> Right. So about two years ago, there was
repaving done on sources just south of Belmont.
[1:21:01] When you're heading towards the 20 on the right
bound lane, and it's three patches of pavement,
[1:21:05] but they aren't even with the rest of the surface.
And because of the heavy road
[1:21:09] traffic and the trucks that come from the industrial
sector, they bounce on that. They land
[1:21:14] on a manhole, they take off and they bounce
back down onto the ground, behind our houses,
and
[1:21:19] the dishes rattle and the house shakes, and
you feel it like a like an earthquake. And
it
[1:21:24] starts at four in the morning and it doesn't
stop till the truck stop. But sometimes they
[1:21:28] keep going at night. And so it's very stressful,
like just as a human. And then and it's
[1:21:35] been about two years and we've and there was
repaving done when PA opened on Donegani, the
[1:21:40] whole like kind of section, they tried to redo
it, but they just added more patches. So
[1:21:45] it's just more fun bumps for the big trucks
to slam onto. >> All right.
[1:21:51] >> Thank you. Yeah. >> Thank you so much. >>
Thank you Lorraine.
[1:21:56] >> So. >> Hello. >> I have a question. Just
one.
[1:22:08] I know I went through all the criteria about
trying to apply for any help for the money
that
[1:22:14] you have for the flooding victims. Problem
is I've done most of the work. Is there any
[1:22:21] chance that there's going to be monies down
the road for to repay? Well, to help us pay
[1:22:26] because I mean, we have to put we put loans
out, we've got line of credit being used, but
[1:22:31] we had to be proactive. We had to take care
of our house. We couldn't wait to see if there
[1:22:36] was going to be money. Any chance. >> Well,
right now, if I'm
[1:22:39] going to be honest with you, the answer is
no. I don't like to give you that answer. But
[1:22:44] that's what I was discussing. We had to we
had to have a start date. And, you know, I
[1:22:48] mean, we had the first storm back in 2024,
August 9th, 2020. We're going to go back to
then.
[1:22:53] It's not really we can't do it. It's very complicated
legally and everything. So the answer
[1:22:57] is no. >> So the only people who are going
to get money is the
[1:23:03] people who didn't do any work on their house.
Is that. >> Well, the people that didn't
[1:23:07] do any work, people looking forward to have
their house evaluated and see what they can
[1:23:12] do in case down the road. Yeah. Well, that's.
>> That's what we already did.
[1:23:16] >> But I don't know. I mean, I'm being very
blunt in saying no, no, it's has come up around
[1:23:21] this table many times. I don't want to get
any more specific, but right now no, with
[1:23:25] something change, I. >> So if I want to say
do some more work on my house, put
[1:23:32] something in the yard or whatever that would
be eligible, but my sump pump, my electrical
[1:23:38] panel to take care of the sump pump and all
these other things that I'm out of pocket.
[1:23:43] >> What year did you do that in? Just out of
curiosity. >> This year.
[1:23:46] >> This year when? >> This year. April. >>
Okay.
[1:23:49] >> Because we did. We were expecting another
flood this summer. And gee golly, it
[1:23:54] happened. >> There you go. And we did it work.
Did all your
[1:23:57] interventions work? >> It almost. >> Oh.
[1:24:00] >> We still have a bit. And I spoke to the
plumber and he did say that. I asked, do I
need
[1:24:05] two pumps? And he says, no. So we're, we're
working on that. So if I have to pay for an
[1:24:12] adjustment, like they said, lower the level
that the pump clicks on. Yeah. And might be
[1:24:17] able to click on before it starts coming in.
We're going to try that. So I could charge
[1:24:22] you for that. Is that it? >> Yeah, exactly.
Exactly. >> Okay.
[1:24:26] >> Thank you. Sorry. But yeah. >> Don't worry.
I'm going to keep bugging Kelly.
[1:24:30] >> Okay. Keep bugging you. Thank you. >> Ken
Lyons.
[1:24:41] >> I think he left. I saw Mr. Lyons leave.
>> Genevieve Lucier.
[1:24:53] >> Good night everybody. I have two quick questions.
De. Possible de faire comme une
[1:25:04] demolition ou de la construction qu'elle soit
affiché devant les maisons
[1:25:10] parce qu'ils ont c'est pour pour une fois,
la seule la de les gens qui ont un permis
[1:25:19] possible de faire des permis de voir la maison
des permis de qui sont émis juste pour
[1:25:27] faciliter les la reconnaissance des raisons
de savoir. Si les ont permis de. La deuxieme
[1:25:35] question. C'est pas pour ou sante et de ses
claims. So bike paths just wondering if the
[1:25:46] reflection of the 40 over Saint John's, over
the 40 is going to be redone any time soon,
[1:25:52] because I had the pleasure of going over there
today and it was not enjoyable. I know, Mr.
[1:25:57] Tremblay said. It's easy to get over to the
40 over the 40, but it was not very pleasant
today
[1:26:03] when we tried to go over there on our bike.
So I was just wondering if there's a timeline
[1:26:08] for the reflection and bike path over the 40.
>> Well, the existing overpass,
[1:26:13] the Saint John's overpass right now will be
redone in April, starting in April, May next
[1:26:18] year. Okay. And there'll be, it's a big word,
an integrated protected bike path on one side
[1:26:24] with a cement wall, but it's not. And if you're
talking about the passerelle, the
[1:26:28] independent passerelle that's off the table
right now. >> I heard about that being off
[1:26:32] the table. And I was actually just talking
about Saint Jean to.
[1:26:35] >> Saint John's will be redone starting in
the spring of next year. We're just signing
the
[1:26:39] agreements with the Minister of Transport.
Okay. They're responsible for portion. We're
[1:26:42] responsible for a portion. But yeah, it needs
to be redone. We redid the asphalt on the other
[1:26:47] side on the north side of it, and then the
overpass will get done, and we're gonna do
some
[1:26:52] work on the south side of it. >> Okay, that's
good news about April. I think it'll really
[1:26:56] help to increase the connectivity between.
>> I say, April, May bike paths
[1:26:59] in the spring. Let's call it the spring. >>
Okay.
[1:27:02] >> Okay. >> Well, hopefully it'll all kind
of join into future bike
[1:27:05] paths and include the tumbler and the bike
paths towards the Grand Park and all that.
That
[1:27:09] would be really wonderful about the tree felling.
I don't know if that could be.
[1:27:13] >> I mean, permits are supposed to be present
in a window. When you give you a permit, it's
[1:27:18] supposed to be visible. Yes. So I mean. >>
But I don't.
[1:27:21] >> Know if we maybe we should put a note, which
I'm sure it says on it, make it visible.
[1:27:26] But maybe when people pick up their permits,
we send them out. We make a note saying that
this
[1:27:31] please make sure it's visible. But that's the
rules. They're supposed to be okay.
[1:27:34] >> So there are permits given out like a construction
permit for.
[1:27:37] >> Tree felling, right? >> Okay. I've never
applied for one.
[1:27:40] >> For the tree permit. >> Permit construction
avec la la Baton Rouge, la. Je suis
[1:27:49] vraiment. >> Okay. >> In 2018, 2019, when we
[1:27:55] changed the law about the permits, you were
the whole idea was to facilitate it so
[1:27:59] that they didn't tie up city services. But
yeah, you were supposed to print your permit
[1:28:04] back then. Maybe they've changed it now. So
I don't know. We'll look into it. It's a.
[1:28:09] >> Good point. Yeah. You know, was concerned
I it would be great if it makes it so
[1:28:13] residents would know and not waste anybody's
time for come and check or whatever. Yeah.
[1:28:17] Okay. Thank you very much. >> Thank you, Mr.
Mayor. Just one comment, just for the
[1:28:21] record, Miss Lucy. Crossing Saint John's overpass
is indeed quite difficult. And for the
[1:28:27] record, I've never said it was an easy task.
And having had to do it on a number of occasions,
[1:28:33] you just need to be extremely careful. Yeah.
>> And we shouldn't have to be
[1:28:37] so careful, is what I'm saying. It should be
an easy process and encourage people to use
[1:28:41] their bikes and. Should indeed. It's it's a
scary process. I was there with my daughter
[1:28:45] today and it was like, okay, go, go, you know,
run, go. So it was tricky.
[1:28:50] >> Yeah. Okay. Not easy. >> Not easy. Yeah.
>> Thank you.
[1:28:55] >> Kim Liberge. >> Good evening, Mister mayor
and Council. Three quick
[1:29:06] questions about the flood. Thank you. When
will the investigation for Hymas and
[1:29:15] Winthrop area be available? >> The board retention
tank? Yeah, I don't know. I don't
[1:29:21] know where we're at. I mean, I'm sorry. Mr.
Gerard just got back, and I don't even know
if
[1:29:26] he's aware. Are you aware? >> I don't have
the deadline date. No. I can get back to her,
[1:29:31] though. >> We can get back to you, though.
[1:29:33] >> Excellent. >> Thank you. Is there a schedule
for maintenance for
[1:29:36] all of the storm water and sewers? >> There
is, but there's going
[1:29:39] to be a much more rigorous one now. And we're
coming up with that plan as we speak. Once
we
[1:29:46] identify the areas that are really bad, there'll
be a priority list, and then
[1:29:50] there'll be a regular maintenance schedule
coming up. >> So there isn't one now. Just
[1:29:55] now. >> But there is one now. But it's not,
let's say frequent
[1:29:59] enough. It takes too long to do it all. So
we're we're finding a way to get it done more
often,
[1:30:05] sooner. >> I understand that in the future
you'd like that to
[1:30:08] change, but currently, what is it now? >> Now
it's what's the one?
[1:30:12] >> The cycle is between 3 to 4 years. 3 to
4 years. >> 3 to 4 years.
[1:30:16] >> Yeah. >> Just a comment on that. >> Yeah.
[1:30:19] >> So I have approached the city to find out
what the maintenance was on Hymas.
[1:30:25] >> Yeah. >> And I've been told that there has
been nothing since
[1:30:29] 2019. That's a little long. >> Absolutely.
That's why we asked for an investigation to
[1:30:35] check into what's going on there. So you're
right. I mean, I can't comment, I don't know.
[1:30:39] I've been here since November. So we'll find
out. >> Okay. And last question will
[1:30:44] the wood chips are they scheduled to be removed
or is that something that everyone's
[1:30:49] looking at or it's not a big deal. >> Well,
it is a big deal. And
[1:30:54] as you saw what happened on Hymas and on Del
Mar, and we saw them floating and blocking
[1:30:58] sewer. So it is a big deal. It has its pros
and cons again, right? It's really good for
the
[1:31:04] gardens and the flowers and the vegetation.
And then now we have a problem. So it's not
[1:31:09] we've been talking about it what the solution
is. I can't tell you right now either, but
[1:31:13] it's part of our, our. What do you call it
ongoing. We're looking at it. We're we're
[1:31:19] we're discussing it. Yeah. Very well. All right.
Thank you. Thank you.
[1:31:24] >> Jose amorosa. >> Good evening. >> Good evening.
[1:31:39] >> I would like to thank Councilor Stalk and
Councilor Potvin for taking their time
[1:31:46] and organizing the meeting for the residents
of district seven and eight. Thank you. So
like
[1:31:53] many other of my neighbors, I'm looking at
putting in a sump pump as soon as possible.
My
[1:31:59] understanding is that the current bylaw requires
sump pumps to be connected to the
[1:32:03] city. However, at the last meeting, Mr. Mayor,
you had said you were looking at
[1:32:09] changing that and actually having people disconnect.
The city of Dorval, city of
[1:32:16] Beaconsfield, don't require the sorry, the
residents to connect to the city. I've spoken
to
[1:32:22] multiple experts, multiple. I've had people
coming to my house and all their
[1:32:29] professional recommendations seem to be not
to connect to the city system because if the
[1:32:35] city is overloaded, which. The corner of my
street of Winthrop and Sunderland now floods
[1:32:42] regularly and quickly, all that water would
back, back up, back into my house or my water
or my
[1:32:49] water would have nowhere to go from the sump
pump. It makes no sense for me to connect my
sump
[1:32:55] pump to a system that's already overloaded.
Even if I have a secondary discharge tube,
that
[1:33:01] would mean that I need some sort of backflow
valve on my sump pump to make sure that
[1:33:07] water doesn't back up into my house, and the
secondary way second back up goes back up and
[1:33:17] out the secondary way and not back into my
house. Has the city or when will the city make
[1:33:23] a decision about having its residents connect
to the system that has failed multiple times?
[1:33:30] We need an answer now. We want to put in our
sump pumps now. We don't want to wait till
[1:33:35] November to know what has to be done. That's
my first. >> I can't give you that answer
[1:33:42] now. I can just tell you it's we're this is
a bylaw that's in place right now in order
to
[1:33:47] change a bylaw, there's a process. And that's
what we're looking at. Are we going to
[1:33:51] change it? And then we have to go through the
process if that's the case. But I mean
[1:33:55] we're we meet every day about this stuff. So
I know it all seems long, I get it. But it
[1:34:01] takes time and we're working as fast as we
can to solve these little issues or give you
a
[1:34:06] clear direction. So yes, you'll have an answer,
but I can't give it to you now.
[1:34:11] >> So all the residents that were connected
with their sump pumps to the city and were
all
[1:34:16] flooded in June, like, that's a negligence
on the city that they had their residents
[1:34:23] connect to the system, and then they got water
back into their house.
[1:34:27] >> Well, it's not I'm not going to I don't
think I can comment because now you're talking
[1:34:31] legal Durban here, but I don't I think it's
worked for many, many, many, many years. There's
[1:34:35] no issue now you get 150mm of rain, which is
unpredictable, no different than a hurricane
[1:34:39] that comes through and your trees and everything
are set for, you know, 80 mile an hour
[1:34:44] winds and everything gets taken away. And are
we dead? No, it's Mother nature, unfortunately.
[1:34:48] Same thing with the flooding. So we're we as
a as a city are trying to adopt the new reality.
[1:34:54] And that's why we're discussing not connecting
you to it. But nobody could predict what
[1:34:58] happened. Right. >> So why why are you making
not making a decision?
[1:35:03] >> Oh, it's not that we're. >> Not. >> It's
not. Just because we
[1:35:07] have to get part of the building code as part
of a bylaw. There's certain rules we
[1:35:11] have to amend in order to. And that's what
we have to look at. That's all. It's just it's
just
[1:35:17] there's so many things, you know, just writing
this bylaw to get you. The money was only
[1:35:21] supposed to be done September, October. We
dropped everything so that in July 8th we could
[1:35:26] pass at that meeting. If not, it would have
gone to the fall. So like somebody said, Eric
[1:35:30] said the legal department, they're only so
big, they can only do so much. Everything is
[1:35:34] a priority. And this became a priority. We're
trying to get through it as fast as we can.
[1:35:39] So I know you don't want to hear it, but please
be patient and believe us, we're working
[1:35:43] on it. >> But we all have trauma from the flooding.
[1:35:47] >> So we all. >> Want to get it done as soon
as possible.
[1:35:50] >> I hear you, I hear you. >> Okay. >> Please.
[1:35:53] >> I would just say one thing. Please be like
not connecting to the storm at all can also
[1:35:59] lead to other problems. Because if you over
saturate your yard without any retention basin
[1:36:06] plan, you could be circulating the same water
you're pumping out back into your French drain,
[1:36:13] into your sump pump. Your sump pump will be
overwhelmed anyways regardless, and you
[1:36:18] will flood your basement. >> Only because we're
in an area that the sewer, the the
[1:36:24] systems are always like blocked, fully blocked.
My second item is reiterating the previous
[1:36:32] resident regarding the flooding that's happened.
That happens on Winthrop and Delmar, as well
[1:36:38] as the retention basins on Hymas. What is being
done? Who's looking into it? If
[1:36:43] there's an issue? And is there an independent
company that's doing the review? What are they
[1:36:50] looking at? What's the timeline and how do
we find out as citizen? What's happening with
[1:36:56] that? >> Our engineering department is looking
at the situation as
[1:37:01] we speak with our professionals, and as soon
as we get the findings, they'll be
[1:37:05] communicated to City council. Then after that,
information can be provided through access
[1:37:10] to information. But we want to have the the
findings yet. >> So as the residents of zone
[1:37:15] seven and eight, there's no way for us to get
that information. >> The legal route to get
that
[1:37:21] information is through access to information.
Once we receive it via our own professionals
[1:37:28] for citizens. It's just it's just the legal
US administrative, legal.
[1:37:31] >> So we have to make that request to get that
information correct. Okay. Last question.
[1:37:38] The work that was done at Northview Park was
that it was a couple of years back. Was
[1:37:44] that considered as a retention basin or was
the drainage connected to our system when
[1:37:53] they redid that park? Is there any way of finding
out this information?
[1:37:57] >> I don't have I we can get that information.
I don't know, it wasn't part of that project,
[1:38:02] but have you asked the question, Eric? >> Yeah.
And the same, in the
[1:38:06] same context was asked as well, like we mentioned
in previously, that when industrial,
[1:38:12] residential or commercial buildings are built,
they're required to have storage basins
[1:38:18] scheduled runoff, limited runoff. The question
was that was asked, was that school
[1:38:23] under the same, you know, conditions that a
municipality, if we were to build a building,
[1:38:28] both. Oh, Northview Park itself. Oh, sorry.
I thought we meant call Saint Louis. I apologize.
[1:38:34] >> Northview Park. >> I apologize. >> We'll
get to the we'll have
[1:38:37] to get back to you because I don't I don't
have that information.
[1:38:40] >> Okay. >> All right. >> Thank you.
[1:38:42] >> Thank you. >> Mr. Mayor. We have one person
that was added on to the
[1:38:46] list for residents. It's Janice Gadbois. >>
Janice.
[1:38:53] >> Good evening, mayor and councilors. I would
just like to ask a question. I back on my
[1:38:59] house, backs on to the paprika building, which
is on Saint John. Yeah, I've noticed
[1:39:06] recently that it doesn't seem to be any activity
there. It looks like it's empty. So I was
[1:39:11] wondering what is is this is it going to be
zoned residential or what is going to happen
[1:39:16] there? >> It is empty. I believe they've sold
and it's on what
[1:39:20] the zoning on, I forget now. It's a mixed use
over there. The old building residential. I
[1:39:26] forget what the zoning is. And I don't know
what the zoning is, but it is zoned for residential
[1:39:35] for sure. >> Because what I would like to know
is, would you know what
[1:39:39] it's going to be built there? You know, you.
>> Know.
[1:39:41] >> Not yet. >> No. >> Because right now, when,
you
[1:39:44] know, when I look out of my I live in a raised
bungalow. So I have a view of the, you know,
[1:39:50] the, the saint. Well, I don't really see Saint
John's, but I see a lot of green. I see the
[1:39:54] trees. And I often think if you're going to
build more condos, then I'm going to look
[1:40:00] at ten storey condos. And I was thinking maybe
we could keep something, say 4 or 5, you know,
[1:40:07] in five stories. >> So absolutely, I, I don't
know what the zoning is on
[1:40:12] there right now, but I don't we'll have to
see when the project gets presented or we'll
[1:40:17] get back to you with what the zoning is, but
it's it's own residential. Yeah. And it's at
[1:40:24] that, what happens in those type of projects
that whoever ends up buying or who's bought
[1:40:30] it will present a project to the city within
our guidelines, and then we'll take it from
[1:40:35] there. But I don't know what the guidelines
are at the top of my head.
[1:40:39] >> Well, that's what I thought. When they present
you, they're, you know, they're constructive,
[1:40:43] what they want to build. Is there any way that
you could say, look, we would like to
[1:40:47] keep it low? Yeah. >> Not so. >> We can. It's
a negotiation
[1:40:51] thing. There are some certain criteria. They
have to meet densification numbers. So many
[1:40:54] doors per square per square hectare, so on
and so forth. But there's there's all kinds
[1:40:58] of. And this has nothing to do with us. It
goes through what is called the Park committee.
[1:41:03] So when they when they come, when a plan or
a project gets presented to the city, they
[1:41:07] come to urban planning, they meet with urban
planning, they sit with urban planning to make
[1:41:11] sure that they match all the criteria of what's
allowed to go there. And then they
[1:41:15] negotiate back and forth to get to where they're
supposed to be. And then from there, urban
[1:41:20] planning gives it to the park committee, which
is the committee that's made up of
[1:41:23] residents, eight residents. I remember eight
residents, which Kelly Kelly is the president
of
[1:41:27] that committee. And then they discuss it along
with one councilor or two councilors and
[1:41:33] some other people gets discussed. And then
after it gets to where they think it
[1:41:38] should be or not be, they bring it to the city
council. That's when we find out about it.
With
[1:41:43] the recommendations or suggestions to approve,
refuse or whatever. So we're the last
[1:41:48] ones to see it. >> Yeah. Now, the other thing
is, is it's a safety issue. I
[1:41:52] live on Concord Crescent and I don't know if
you are aware there's like a path where the
[1:41:57] bicycles go through. Now, Mr. Stork, you installed
a barrier. Yeah, but they still come
[1:42:03] zooming out on their bicycles. They need to
have a barrier, almost like in the village
of
[1:42:09] Pointe Claire. >> Like that barrier? >> Yeah,
because all the
[1:42:12] neighbors. Now we're all aware that the cyclists
just come zooming out. So we.
[1:42:17] >> All have one of those. Yeah, double things.
So actually that we're going to make that part
[1:42:21] of all our new bike paths like that. We're
going to make it part of the new plan all the
[1:42:26] time. So we'll take note of it. And it will
be noted in the minutes and we'll.
[1:42:30] >> Look into it. Thank you very much. Thank
you. >> Thank you.
[1:42:34] >> Just want to state that the current zoning
for that property is for ten stories of
[1:42:38] residential doesn't imply that I agree with
it. But that's what the current zoning is.
[1:42:42] >> I think my up to ten stories maybe. >> Yeah.
[1:42:48] >> Okay. Up to ten stories. That's up to the
urban blank up to. But I don't know. All right.
[1:42:56] >> I just would like to clear. There's absolutely
no commitment at the moment for
[1:42:59] any ten stories. I just want to make sure that
that's very clearly understood. Okay.
[1:43:04] There's no commitment to any height level at
that site at this moment by council.
[1:43:11] >> All right. >> George Panchik. >> Thank you
for permitting me
[1:43:25] to be here. I'm not a citizen of Pointe Claire.
I'm a retired paprika or FP employee. And
[1:43:35] while I was there, I planted trees. At the
back of the property. And I had some people
[1:43:43] plant trees on the front lawn. Also, I'm asking
Pointe Claire to what can you do to protect
[1:43:52] those trees? And there's also some marshland
at the back property. Is that going to be
[1:44:02] retained? We we need trees. >> Yeah, absolutely.
>> I personally planted the
[1:44:09] ones at the back. They're mature trees, but
there's trees on the front lawn, which can
be
[1:44:19] transplanted. I did get involved with the Great
Kayak Canoe Club in Pointe Claire,
[1:44:28] and we did transfer trees. So there is possibilities
and I'd like when FP disappears that
[1:44:41] those trees are maintained and still on the
property. Perfect. Thank you very much for
[1:44:51] listening to me. >> Thank you. All right. We'll
go to the agenda, please.
[1:45:01] >> 5.1 adoption of a bylaw amending bylaw PC2748
to reduce the amount of the working fund.
[1:45:06] This bylaw aims to adjust the working fund
level based on its utilization, while maintaining
[1:45:11] sufficient buffer to meet the municipality's
needs. Consequently, the working fund
[1:45:15] is being reduced from $7,008,000 to $8,000
since. >> Organisé par la Asociacion
