Councillor Clark. 115 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:26,000 Thank you. This was certainly a big file in January at the budget. 116 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,000 And so it's interesting to see this one come back to the table. 117 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:39,000 A couple of questions I have that aren't maybe outlined in this that we had discussed during the budget time was using this Moor for leaf collection. 118 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:46,000 Now we're wanting to trade it in. I'm just curious what we're going to do for leaf collection and if we have an alternative to that. 119 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,000 Given that we now want to trade it in. 120 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,000 Yes, for sure. 121 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:59,000 Through you Mayor Peabody, the new Moor Moor that we would replace this one with will work with our leaf collectors. 122 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,000 So we will still be able to do the leaf collection. 123 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:08,000 So is that a different Moor then than what we were discussing during budget? 124 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000 I believe so yes. 125 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,000 Councillor Trevali. 126 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:22,000 Yeah, thanks Mayor. My just only question is what is the expected life of the new Moors if we were to proceed with this. 127 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:27,000 Or what's the age of the current one I suppose, but yeah, it would be the normal life expectancy. 128 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:32,000 The age of the current one is about five to six years old. 129 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000 So it is a little bit older. 130 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:39,000 It is used quite a bit throughout the season from April to November. 131 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,000 So it does get a lot of hours on it. 132 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,000 The expected life I'm not a hundred percent sure on that. 133 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,000 Sorry. 134 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000 Councillor Clark. 135 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:57,000 Just a follow up on my question and again, looking back to the budget session that we had there in the discussion on this. 136 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:06,000 We spoke about the warranty ending on the current Moor in May of 2026 and it was also made aware that there would be an end of warranty inspection that would take place. 137 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:11,000 I'm just curious if that inspection did take place and whether that reports available and how this. 138 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:18,000 Was in caught during that just a month and a half to a month ago. 139 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,000 To you, Mayor Peabody? Yes, that was completed. 140 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,000 I'm not. 141 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:27,000 I don't have a report like a analysis of that review. 142 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:38,000 And I'm not sure why it wasn't caught at that time unless it's something that happened after the fact. 143 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:49,000 Just to follow up again on that, I would be interested to see that report just because again, it's it's concerning to me that I'm two months after warranty ends. 144 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:54,000 This happens, especially given that we had an end of warranty inspection. 145 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000 I would expect that to be caught during that. 146 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000 That was sort of the point of it. 147 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:06,000 And then my next question is, is John Deer not willing to do any good will work to actually warranty this a couple of months out of warranty, 148 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:12,000 especially if there was that inspection that was done, which I feel it should have been caught. 149 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:22,000 I would expect that to to maybe they would be willing to to good will it. 150 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:32,000 Through you, Mayor Peabody, I would have to follow up with them and have a conversation myself with the local John Deer. 151 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,000 Thank you all just say that I echo the concerns of Councillor Clark in particular. 152 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:41,000 You know, we did have full deliberations on this in budget in January. 153 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:51,000 I find that ironic that suddenly we see a report here in August outlining significant repairs that are now needed on a more that just finished a warranty term. 154 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:59,000 You know, some of the areas that are identified in the report, you know, the tyrod rubbing against an oil pan causing excessive wear. 155 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,000 And those, those things. 156 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:11,000 So if things don't happen instantaneously, it's not just a few wrong turns that cause those things to happen. So I would like to hear a little bit more from staff about what information is available, what post-warnty 157 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:18,000 to expect to take place. And ultimately, this is going to be a further cost. I appreciate it's identified 158 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:23,000 to come from reserves, much like it was at budget, but it is going to be an additional cost. And those funds 159 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:31,000 do need to be appropriately managed. So if this is an asset that has been expired or you know, in turn expired early, 160 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:36,000 we do need to have an understanding as to how that happened and to ensure that whatever we're purchasing in the future 161 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,000 that we're not going to be purchasing something that's just going to repeat the cycle. 162 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:46,000 I'd further questions. 163 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:51,000 Maybe the emotion to defer or to come back with additional information is what I'm sensing. 164 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,000 Well, if you'd like that. 165 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,000 I want to second that council clerk. 166 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:04,000 I guess yeah, I like I guess deferring makes sense because a couple of questions, I would like to see if John dear be willing to 167 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:11,000 do good will it. I would also like to see the the inspection report and just I'm curious as to how that was 168 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:18,000 misturing it. And then even all of that aside, if we do go ahead with this, we discuss this during budget two that this 169 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:25,000 will reduce mowing time down to two to three days versus over a week, which was mentioned then. And so again, I'm curious what's 170 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:30,000 going to happen with that staff time for those extra let's say half of the time. 171 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:37,000 So there's an extra two or three days right there that they're not mowing the lawns given the new mower. So again, there's just a lot of questions. 172 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:43,000 I feel like we discussed a lot of this during the budget time. Here it is coming back again. 173 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:53,000 Truthfully all that said, if none of all of this else fails, I still think the $2,400 is cheaper and and say a significantly better investment. 174 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:59,000 And then the $20,000 mower, these six or 21 almost $16,000 plus the $4,900 trade in. 175 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:04,000 If John dear is willing to give us $4,900, I feel like the mower can't be that bad. 176 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:10,000 Obviously they're in the business to make money as well. And so they wouldn't be giving us that amount. 177 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,000 If it was completely destroyed. 178 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,000 All right. So you're there's a motion to defer. 179 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:23,000 So that correct concept, actually seconded that from the concept of traveling all those in favor of deferring. 180 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,000 Okay, that's approved or tabled. 181 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:43,000 And I wonder if those of the robotic lawn mowers would work in a cemetery. You just have them cut in the lawn all day long all night long and no employee costs. 182 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:50,000 Okay. I was going to say we should get some sheep. 183 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,000 Okay. On to report 9.6. 184 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,000 Pinkered and flooding. 185 00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:00,000 Councillor Crawford, Deputy Mayor Hutchin, that we receive for information report. 186 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,000 CIO, 2026, Pinkered and flooding update prepared by Sunny Watson. 187 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:10,000 CIO and doing so supports the ongoing engagement by management and the advocacy of Mayor Peabody on behalf of Council. 188 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:23,000 And for the supports bringing for the attached motion for council endorsement related to the significant flooding concerns due to the private dam breach in Pinkerton. 189 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:32,000 So before we entertain any questions about the report, I will report to Council. 190 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:49,000 That we were informed today that there has been an M&R order issued regarding the installation of a temporary coffered dam as well as the permanent repair of the dam to be done in two phases in Pinkerton. 191 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:55,000 So that took quite quite a while to get the claimants there here. 192 00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:01,000 Residents out in Pinkerton and I had been reporting to them about my troubles three weeks goes out there last. 193 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:06,000 In getting the M&R on side and today they came on side. 194 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:16,000 So that involved writing some letters and phoning the minister's office and repeatedly yes. 195 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,000 And then it worked out. 196 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:25,000 So and then of course the scheduled meeting with the Minister of Natural Resources on Monday. 197 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,000 So I think with that meeting looming. 198 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:34,000 Perhaps they wanted something positive to provide. 199 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:46,000 So thank you to the staff for setting everything up and they're ongoing efforts in in addressing this now we we still do have a motion. 200 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:53,000 To pass on this and it's not just with the repair but it's it's about. 201 00:19:53,000 --> 00:20:05,000 The whole aspect of dams and regulations and repairs and costs to citizens and the municipalities when these things happen to try to prevent some of the. 202 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:10,000 Costs that we incurred in the Clemens occurred incurred here. 203 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000 In April and in May. 204 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:18,000 Yeah, thanks very few body appreciate your advocacy and obviously good to hear this development from M&R today. 205 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,000 As a result of that, I would still support moving this motion. 206 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:27,000 I think it's clearly the Pinkerton matter is it looks like it's moving forward in a positive way. 207 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:34,000 But we should not be afraid to continue advocating to the province as this motion dictate so I would support the motion. 208 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:41,000 You know it'll go to the province then we also have that opportunity at ammo the three of us next week to sort of approach this as well on a broader sense. 209 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000 So I support the motion attached. 210 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000 Okay. 211 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,000 Any any further questions, Councillor Elfick. 212 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:56,000 Yeah, certainly we'll echo the same comments and I think it's important to keep the advocacy going especially when we're dealing with a situation right here on Brockton. 213 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,000 We have lived experience and we have identified the need to do so. 214 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:09,000 The only question I have is that in the motion it doesn't speak about proactive inspections and whether there should be regulatory and routine inspections of dams of this type. 215 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:17,000 Would that have assisted, would that have identified any sort of potential breaches or weaknesses that existed in the current infrastructure? 216 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:22,000 I know in this case we did have a high degree of rainfall and snow melt. 217 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:33,000 That's certainly contributed but it would seem to me that if we are going to do inspections for bridges and culverts and other things that we all should include dams, especially privately owned and operated dams in this case. 218 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:40,000 So it would be helpful if that was included as part of the motion itself that we would advocate for the routine inspections. 219 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,000 Thank you. 220 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:49,000 All right, I'll ask our CIO to put that in somewhere for the questions. 221 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,000 Well, let's see. 222 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,000 It looks at that. 223 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,000 Tim. 224 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000 No. 225 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000 Okay. 226 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,000 Can write that in for you, Tim. 227 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,000 Yeah. 228 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,000 Okay. 229 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,000 All right. 230 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,000 We changed the language a wee bit. 231 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,000 Tim. 232 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,000 Just satisfy that. 233 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,000 Anybody else? 234 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,000 Okay. 235 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,000 So that's the first motion on this. 236 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,000 All those in favor. 237 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,000 Okay. 238 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,000 And then we have the attached motion. 239 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,000 Councillor Crawford, Deputy Mayor Hutchin. 240 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:25,000 And the motion that will be presented to the minister on Monday. 241 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:30,000 Whereas private dams and digs are an Ontario make create significant risk for public safety. 242 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,000 The infrastructure roads bridges private property in the natural environment during high water events. 243 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,000 Extreme what rainfall rapid snow melt. 244 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,000 And whereas local municipalities are the first point of contact for residents during flooding. 245 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:45,000 Load closures and emergency response and property damage. 246 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:50,000 Even more ownership and regulatory oversight rests outside of municipal control. 247 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,000 And whereas

municipalities require clearer, more coordinate information to support emergency planning. 250 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000 Risk communication infrastructure protection and watershed reliance. 251 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:12,000 And whereas the municipality of Brockton supports a provincial framework that clearly identifies responsibilities for private, 252 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:19,000 dam and

committee brought in calls upon the province of Ontario to take a comprehensive review of the oversight regime for private land dams and digs through Ontario, 254 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:34,000

It might just mean. 341 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:24,000 It's probably just means the premier and merit styles. 342 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,000 That's probably the do better than the leader of the office. 343 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,000 I know you were hanging out with merit styles at the last prime match. 344 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,000 So you'll probably. 345 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,000 Maybe help her out. 346 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,000 Okay. 347 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,000 All right. 348 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,000 Okay. 349 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,000 On to the next thing. 350 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:46,000 We've got the information items, the motion number 11. 351 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,000 Moved by. 352 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,000 Council Crawford, second of my depth mirror, 353 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,000 Hutchin that we receive all the information items in section 12. 354 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,000 All those in favor. 355 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000 Let's carry it. 356 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,000 Then we have. 357 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,500 Episode 5, Bibles. 358 00:30:03,500 --> 00:30:08,040 of- by councilor Crawford, signboard, Deputy Mayor Hutchin, that we authorized the following 359 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,920 Bibles. We read, and acted, signs of number to 12 is 67 holding removal, for 60 360 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:19,200 possession to SDR. 68, adopt a tangible capital asset name, or organization policy. All those 361 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:29,640 in favor, it's carried. Then we have some notices of motions. We've got dock control. 362 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,640 And, um, pedestrian. 363 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,080 Well, yes, concerto rally. 364 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,080 Thanks, Mayor. 365 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,960 I wonder if Council might indulge me with a dispensing of the notice of motion on the dog control 366 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:38,960 bylaw. 367 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:39,960 Perhaps the other one as well. 368 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,560 I don't want to speak for Councilor McLean with him not joining us tonight. 369 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,880 But I realize in the motion we have noticed today another two weeks would be the actual vote. 370 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,400 And then from the way I worded it, although wasn't exactly my intention. 371 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,560 That means the following meeting would be a report from staff. 372 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,560 So, in the spirit of moving things along, I don't see if there's really a need to drag 373 00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:58,560 this out. 374 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,360 So, I'd ask for a dispensation and to vote on the motion tonight. 375 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,200 And maybe that's some of the next council wants to look at in terms of, you know, do 376 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,120 we need two to four weeks to vote on notices of motions for things that are pretty straight 377 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,120 forward. 378 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,320 And, in some case, the staff may be able to bring a report back at the next meeting. 379 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:13,320 So, that's my ask. 380 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:14,320 All right. 381 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:21,440 So, 15.1, who wants to vote on 15.1 tonight, all those in favor? 382 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:23,440 Okay. 383 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:28,440 All right. 384 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,440 I don't actually have the motion. 385 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,440 Do you, Mayor Peabody, would you like me to read the motion? 386 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:35,440 Okay. 387 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:36,440 Yeah, that'd be good. 388 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,440 And I will take a mover. 389 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,440 Trevali and. 390 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:43,440 And, uh, Hudson. 391 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:44,440 Yes. 392 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:45,440 Okay. 393 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:50,440 Whereas agriculture is a significant contributor to the municipality of Rockins economy and is integral to 394 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:54,440 the cultural fabric of the community and whereas livestock, guardians, dogs and herding dogs 395 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,440 perform unique and essential functions in support of livestock management and protection on farms 396 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,440 and whereas guidance has been provided from local directors of Ontario sheep farmers, which would align 397 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,440 with industry best practices while maintaining licensing requirements in public safety. 398 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:11,440 Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Council of the Municipality of Rockins direct staff to amend the dog control 399 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,440 by the 2020 O82 incorporating the following changes. 400 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:21,440 One, a men's section 1.22 definition replace the existing definition of working agricultural livestock guardian dog with 401 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:26,440 working agricultural livestock guardian dog, shall mean a dog of a recognized livestock guardian 402 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,440 breed that is specifically bred and or trained to live with. 403 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:34,440 And protect livestock or poultry and is used exclusively for that purpose on an agricultural operation. 404 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:40,440 The owner must possess a valid Ontario farm business registration number of qualified for exemption from the farm business registration 405 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:41,440 requirement. 406 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:46,440 The following new definition, working agricultural herding dog, shall mean a dog of a recognized herding breed 407 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:51,440 that is specifically bred and or trained to herd or control livestock is part of a normal farming operation, 408 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:59,440 amend section 3.0F, delete the existing 3.2F and replace it with an agricultural location where the following conditions are met. 409 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,440 The person is caring for livestock or poultry on property owned, least are otherwise under their care control. 410 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,440 The property is located within an agricultural or rural zone. 411 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,440 The owner possesses a valid Ontario farm business registration number or is exempt from the farm business registration 412 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:11,440 requirement. 413 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,440 The additional dogs are recognized livestock guardian dogs and or herding dogs. 414 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:19,440 These regular cultural purposes and all dogs are licensed annually in accordance with the dog control bylaws, 415 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,440 such as 2020 council approved working dog license feed exemption. 416 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,440 Add to add licensing recognition. 417 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:30,440 But a new section providing that a livestock guardian dog or herding dog that is properly licensed in another 418 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,440 municipality shall be deemed to satisfy brought in licensing requirements. 419 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:40,440 While temporarily located within the municipality for the purpose of protecting herding livestock is part of a normal farming practice, 420 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:48,440 amend section 4.5, replace section 4.5 with working agricultural livestock, guardian dogs and working agricultural herding dogs are exempt from a dog 421 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:49,440 running at large provisions. 422 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:55,440 The spy law will actively engage in protecting livestock from predators or herding livestock as part of a normal farming practice. 423 00:33:55,440 --> 00:34:01,440 Report back that staff be directed to prepare the necessary bylaw amendments and report back to council at a future meeting for consideration. 424 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,440 All right, motions at the floor any discussion. 425 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,440 Councilor Elfick. 426 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,440 Thank you before discussion. 427 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:11,440 I'm just wondering. 428 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,440 I know that the intention was for a staff report to come forward. 429 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,440 Council submit a decision to deal with this motion tonight. 430 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:23,440 I'm just wondering if staff have any preliminary comments prior to council making a decision. 431 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:28,440 If there's any knowledge or information that council ought to be aware of. 432 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,440 Through you, Mayor Peabody. 433 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:39,440 The intention was that if we had notice it would have provide an opportunity for animal control officer to provide a full some report with a number of comments. 434 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,440 But I can in fact point to a few things of consideration. 435 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:52,440 Much like council may want to give consideration to cross breeds or not necessarily peer bread animals that could still be properly trained and act both as. 436 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,440 Guardian dogs or herding dogs. 437 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,440 So that may be something that council wants to look at. 438 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,440 There would be no. 439 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:07,440 Um, in terms of zoning, it doesn't necessarily have to be agricultural rural those would already exist within the bylaw. 440 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,440 Um, those are some comments that. 441 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,440 Uh, preliminary. 442 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,440 Preliminary thought. 443 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:19,440 Uh, our fees and charges byla doesn't currently have an exemption, but we could certainly consider a regime for that. 444 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,440 Um, you may also want to think about some parameters about. 445 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:27,440 Um, you know, that we have notice if a dog's coming from another jurisdiction and is going to be hurting in this jurisdiction, et cetera. 446 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,440 So I think there are a few matters that could potentially warrant a staff report. 447 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:38,440 But again, uh, we haven't had an opportunity to do a full some report with animal control at this opportunity. 448 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:41,440 Councilor Chivalry. 449 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:42,440 Yeah. 450 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:43,440 Thanks very much, Mayor. 451 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:48,440 So my understanding is that when a staff report comes, it could be with the bylaw amendments. 452 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,440 So we're not voting on the bylaw in this motion. 453 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,440 We're just giving direction on some amendments. 454 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,440 Um, so that at that future meeting, I guess both would come in, like there'd be a staff report accompanied by. 455 00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,440 Maybe a red line version of the bylaw, is that suffice to say. 456 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:06,440 If that's the direction of council, we'd be happy to come forward with a red line version and a report at the next meeting. 457 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,440 Are you satisfied with how it's written in the motion though for that to occur? 458 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:14,440 I do think that if council passes this motion, then these would be the amendments that we would be incorporating. 459 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,440 Okay. 460 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,440 Oh, yes. 461 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:26,440 Yeah, sorry, I just want just a little bit of clarity because we've been going around the table a little bit here. 462 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:36,440 So if we vote on the motion as it stands, what you just read that is agreeing to as it's written here or is that agreeing to a motion coming forward at the next meeting. 463 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:41,440 Obviously, I agree with not waiting sort of two, three meetings, but time we go through that process. 464 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:46,440 So we expedited that, but I'm just curious if we're going to get sort of a motion on. 465 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:56,440 Or sorry, a report on this and ensuring that the way this motion's written is accurate to what sort of council wants. 466 00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:03,440 So the way that the motion is written, we would be coming back with a bylaw and we becoming with a staff report. 467 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:14,440 However, that bylaw is going to include these amended sections that have been directly authorized by council in this resolution now. 468 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,440 I think, yeah, if it's a procedural question, obviously, don't want to interject. 469 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:24,440 But yeah, the staff report may have additional recommendations if that's time interpreting from the comments raised. 470 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:30,440 So we could still modify it at that following meeting based on staff recommendations if we are in agreement with them. 471 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:37,440 So this is direction to let's start with what we have and then come back with more information and just for added context if I may. 472 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:42,440 Yeah, this came forward as a result, there was a great Bruce politicians day both federations of agriculture host annually. 473 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:54,440 A couple members of council were there. Deputy Mayor Hutch in myself spoke with one of our local sheep farmers who's one of the directors Dennis Thompson also spoke with a couple other directors and they are. 474 00:37:54,440 --> 00:38:05,440 This discussion came up in the context of, you know, where municipalities play a role with the executor and they have been pushing and advocating for you know, revisions to dog control or dog bylaws and municipalities. 475 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:15,440 And so they've given us feedback to that brought me to this motion there. The more the experts from the live stock and agriculture side, of course, we do have some bylaw and animal control components to look at. 476 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:24,440 But this is what they're recommending and they're hopeful that if we sort of pass something to this tune and recognizing a few other factors would be a good model for real communities, you know, elsewhere. 477 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:30,440 So they're optimistic about this and I appreciate their insights as folks that live and work on the land. 478 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:45,440 And just one more comment to say I I'm fine with the proposal knowing that there will be a staff report come back and allow council that subsequent meeting to ultimately determine what is in and what's not perhaps in a bylaw. 479 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:53,440 One item I would like some further comment on in any report is under three point to the amendments. 480 00:38:53,440 --> 00:39:02,440 There was a series of criteria that were outlined, but one that's in our current bylaw was the ability to keep a maximum of five working livestock guardian dogs. 481 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,440 And I noted that was struck in the amendments. 482 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:16,440 And if there are any concern around the number of animals that would be maintained, I would just appreciate a comments on that. 483 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:26,440 Through you, Mayor Peabody. I'll ensure that the staff report comments on the number that's been proposed. 484 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:31,440 Sure, and if I could just speak to that from from my understanding yeah that was raised in my discussion as well. 485 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:39,440 They had asked that you know that maximum not be there in those you know where the other criteria are met that five not be not be the limit. 486 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:48,440 Some some information perhaps they can share with us in terms of their data about the expectation of growth in the industry and therefore they're hoping that farms are not limited to the five. 487 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:54,440 So that's that's some context on that side, but certainly yeah the more information we get to report and help us make a well-rounded decision. 488 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,440 Thanks. 489 00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,440 Okay, all those in favor. 490 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:00,440 It's carried. 491 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:07,440 And then next meeting there'll be a notice of motion from council from a claim on the pedestrian priority area. 492 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:12,440 Okay, now I'll open the floor for business brought forward from councillors. 493 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,440 Yes, councillor Elfick. 494 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:21,440 Thank you and through Mr. Mayor just want to share with councillor and our entire community to give a huge congratulations to our Wilbur Unine Boys. 495 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,440 Capital's red team here in Walkerton. 496 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:29,440 They successfully competed in their year internment and throughout the entire season of a remained undefeated. 497 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,440 So they were the gold champs for Walkerton. 498 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:37,440 And it was a huge accomplishment for them as young players, baseball players and also for our community. 499 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:42,440 So the banner is going to probably hang hopefully somewhere in our recreation facilities. 500 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:43,440 Thank you. 501 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:44,440 Very good. 502 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,440 Yes, councillor Trevelli. 503 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:47,440 Yeah, thanks Mayor. 504 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,440 Just one word of thanks and appreciation. 505 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:57,440 The last meeting we have was before Walker and homecoming as we all know and really want to give a big hats off to the homecoming committee for bringing together a great weekend. 506 00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:05,440 Again, pivoted with the weather very well attended and really brought the spirit of community together, not only in Walkerton but across Brockton. 507 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:10,440 And great support and collaboration by staff at the municipalities, well, so thanks. 508 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,440 Okay. 509 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,440 Any further. 510 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,440 From councillors. 511 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:19,440 No. 512 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:25,440 Okay, so we'll wrap the meeting up and I too will as I did at the closing ceremonies. 513 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:29,440 Thank all the committee chairs for the homecoming. 514 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:33,440 I just thought it was just a fantastic weekend. 515 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,440 Every committee did their job. 516 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,440 It was all executed very flawlessly. 517 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:45,440 And there were no complaints that that I received. 518 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:54,440 And also like to thank the the wreck department for keeping the grounds in great shape and the wreck staff for. 519 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:59,440 Working with the homecoming committee and pulling everything together. 520 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:04,440 It was certainly one of the best weekends in Brockton in Walkerton. 521 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,440 So just an amazing event. 522 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:13,440 So thank you very much to everybody involved. 523 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:22,440 So now we have a motion to go into close session from Councillor Clark and Councillor Sulfick going to close session at 740. 524 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:27,440 In order to address matter pertaining to litigation. 525 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:33,440 Our potential litigation clean matters before tribunals affecting the municipality settlement update. 526 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:39,440 And advice subject to solicitor client privilege, communications necessary. 527 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:43,440 A legal opinion on flooding all those in favor. 528 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,440 That's carried. 529 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,440 Thank you. 530 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,440 Thank you. 531 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,440 Thank you. 532 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,440 Thank you. 533 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:59,440 Thank you. 534 00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:46,000 Okay, we're live.
