[0:07] ready to go. >> I call to order uh the regular council

[0:13] meeting of September 9th, 2026. All righty. So, we're going to start off

[0:18] with our land acknowledgement. So, we acknowledge that we are gathered on

[0:21] Treaty 8, First Nations Territory and the long-standing representation of the

[0:24] elders and ancestors of Treaty 8. Through this acknowledgement, we extend

[0:28] recognition and respect to the BC treaty 8 First Nations and all those who called

[0:33] Peace Country home. All righty. Item number three, adoption

[0:37] of the agenda. Making a motion that we adopt off the adopt the agenda as

[0:41] presented. That motion second. All right. All those in favor

[0:49] carried. All right. So, adoption of minutes. Uh, August 26, 20 or August 26,

[0:55] 2026. Special council meeting minutes. Do I have a mover and a second? Second.

[1:03] Any comments, emissions, or errors that need to be corrected?

[1:10] None being seen, I'll call a vote. All those in favor?

[1:15] Passes. All right. Introduction of late items. Uh, we have no late items this

[1:20] evening. public hearings which we've already concluded tonight. Uh

[1:24] delegations. So we have a number of proclamations tonight uh that we're

[1:28] going to do here so bear with me. Been homesick for the last two days and

[1:34] that. So all righty we are going to start with the Legion proclamation. So

[1:39] if I can get a motion to bring that to the floor or do I need a motion on that?

[1:45] » Motion to have a second. I'll second that. To the floor. All

[1:50] righty. Uh, discussion. Councelor Wall,

[1:54] » I would like to declare a conflict of interest due to my personal relationship

[1:57] with the members from the Legion that are presenting and with the organization

[2:00] itself as a former president in that

[2:07] I'd like to declare a personal conflict of interest with the organization um,

[2:11] presenting as I'm former treasurer and I declare a personal conflict of

[2:17] interest. Therefore, I'll govern myself accordingly.

[2:25] » So, to my understanding, according to the community charter, um

[2:29] you make a declaration, it's a declaration is an honorary thing. It

[2:33] doesn't represent that the village supports it or individual counselors

[2:37] support it. So, does that require quorum in order to make that declaration?

[2:43] your practice historically, your worship is to pass a resolution in favor of

[2:48] proclamations and against those proclamations being made. You know,

[2:53] unfortunately, uh, Mayor Beach is, uh, not here this evening.

[2:59] You guys, you know, act on this, but until then, something you guys have a

[3:06] special,

[3:11] right, but I suppose decision after this might be

[3:15] to uh see if you know yourself as the acting mayor or if Mayor Beach would be

[3:21] interested in a special meeting to uh make the decision so to speak.

[3:27] » Okay. And when would the next available you're looking

[3:33] I think the 20th 26th >> coming up quite quick. That's right. So

[3:38] anytime in the next 10 days I'm available

[3:43] mayor beach as well is something potentially

[3:52] we could get a photo as well and

[3:58] happen we can get that you know posted on social media and stuff like that.

[4:02] » All right. So with this uh because due to lack of quorum due to conflict of

[4:05] interest, I'm going to table this item uh to our next uh next available

[4:10] meeting. >> Um yeah, sounds good. I'll go grab

[4:15] council.

[4:27] Are you able to connect with Mary Beach and see if she's potentially available?

[4:32] Nice.

[4:37] » All righty. So, we're going to move on to 7.2 uh community inclusion law.

[4:44] All right.

[4:49] So, thank you. And I'm going to move her in

[4:52] a second. Move on a second. All right. So, October 26, community inclusion

[4:57] month in the village of Pooseki. So, I would like to call our representatives

[5:01] up for community inclusion. >> That would be me.

[5:06] » That' be you. >> All right. H you want to come up?

[5:10] » Oh, that way. That way. >> I'll come up here and get a picture of

[5:15] » us with the proclamation. Sorry. Let me read the proclamation.

[5:20] Turn

[5:29] right there. That's good. That's good. Do it again.

[5:32] » I can move if I

[5:37] read all the proclamation. >> Well, actually, yeah, that's what

[5:40] happened with all all the cops. Kia came up and got picture. So, come on, Ray.

[5:44] Everybody everybody has >> I already picture.

[5:48] » No, you got to take pictures. All of us now got a haircut. Oh my goodness.

[5:52] » You're in the back with the tall quite >> cuz they this we did this in Taylor on

[5:58] the 24th. So we did. >> Yeah, we did.

[6:04] » No, I'm going to every council. >> All right. So I'm going to read out the

[6:07] proclamation then I'll send it and then I'll provide you with the copy. Okay.

[6:11] » All right. proclamation community inclusion month October uh 2026 as where

[6:17] every October British columbombians across the province recognize and

[6:21] celebrate the contributions and potential of people with development

[6:25] disabilities during community inclusion month and where in 20210

[6:31] uh Canadians referred the na sorry referred to the national historic

[6:38] convention on the rights of persons with disabilities and In 2028, uh the

[6:43] government of British Columbia introduced uh reimagining community

[6:47] inclusion initiatives which oh sorry which

[6:53] evolutionized uh pathways forward including or for inclusive ho housing,

[6:58] employment, health and well-being and self-determined indigenous strategies

[7:04] and where a thriving community requires the inclusion and participation of all

[7:08] members and inclusion of individuals. builds in all respect for societies

[7:12] enabled all peoples to share their skills and talents and culture and to

[7:18] secure the rights uh peacefully at home, at work and at school in the community

[7:22] and where the community living BC uh provincial crime corporation will be

[7:26] joining individual families, service providers and others to celebrate

[7:30] community inclusion month and to raise public awareness about inclusion and

[7:35] supporting people with diverse disabilities and participating fully in

[7:40] communities. Uh now therefore I resolve that I Marcel

[7:44] Wood do hereby declare that October 26 as community inclusion month in the

[7:48] village

[7:58] going to give it away. >> Thank you.

[8:12] » Thank you.

[8:20] » All right.

[8:30] All righty. Uh so all those in favor I guess

[8:34] post koopi uh declaring October 2026 uh for community inclusion

[8:39] month.

[8:46] » I know. All righty. So for this next one, uh, so Terry Fox proclamation, uh,

[8:52] September 20th, 2026 to be claimed Terry Fox day village pub and counselor. Well,

[8:58] actually, can I get a move or a second that move?

[9:00] » I'll second. >> Whereas the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope

[9:05] began in 1980 and continues to inspire communities across Canada to come

[9:08] together in support of cancer research. And whereas Terry Fox Day provides an

[9:12] opportunity for residents of Puscupi to honor Terry Fox legacy, support cancer

[9:17] research, and reflect on the lasting impact of the marathon vote. And whereas

[9:21] Terry Fox Day provides an opportunity to encourage residents of all ages and

[9:24] abilities to embrace physical activity, healthy living, and community spirit.

[9:28] And whereas Terry's courage, perseverance, and selflessness continue

[9:33] to remind us of the difference one person can make and the hope that can be

[9:38] created when a community comes together for others. And whereas the Terry Fox

[9:43] Foundation continues Terry's dream by bringing Canadians together, funding

[9:48] vital cancer research, and carrying forward his enduring message of hope.

[9:51] Now therefore, I, James Wall, do hereby declare September 20th, 2026 as Terry

[9:57] Fox day in the village of Husky. >> I think that's the same day Terry Fox

[10:02] one, isn't it? >> That's correct.

[10:04] » There we go. >> All those in favor?

[10:08] » That's great. >> Well, you want to say the last part

[10:10] because you got to sign. >> Yeah. So, therefore, I'm Yeah.

[10:14] » How does that work? >> We've got his name on. So, we'll get

[10:29] All righty. Uh before we move on, did you were you able to reach out to my

[10:34] speech? >> Uh no, forgive me not to the speech yet

[10:37] to schedule a special meeting. We can we can coordinate that for sure.

[10:40] » Go ahead. All righty. Uh you want to pass that on Mr.

[10:46] » All righty. Moving on to item number eight. unfinished business or business

[10:49] arising from the minutes. And I see none on the agenda for tonight. So item

[10:55] number nine, new business 9.1, designation of fire inspectors and fire

[11:01] investigators. That council designate Blair Devo and Chad Dero as fire

[11:05] inspectors for the village of Puscupi pursuant to section 8 of the fire safety

[11:09] act and as fire investigators pursuant to section 23 of that act effective

[11:14] September 9th, 2026. Secondary council

[11:19] discussion

[11:23] » just some background as to kind of the origin of this and why this hadn't been

[11:26] in place prior. Just curious to see. >> Now I do believe there has been so we go

[11:31] through this every year every two years and uh it's been these two gentlemen and

[11:36] one other gentleman that have kind of been passing the role back and forth

[11:39] because they meet the qualifications for that position

[11:42] » uh within the fire department and stuff. So I think this is and correct me if I'm

[11:47] wrong, Mr. Minson, but this is just a formality that we have to go through

[11:50] each year to say that these are designated uh fire inspectors and renews

[11:55] it with the fire commissioner's office as well and registers with the fire

[11:58] commission office so that they can provide provide inspection services.

[12:04] Uh this is an appointment that the office of fire commissioners recently

[12:08] asked for updated paperwork on aka a resolution from council

[12:12] » uh saying that uh fire chief and uh captain are uh appointed as

[12:21] investigators under the fire safety act. uh the deputization of local officials

[12:27] to see as a leader of the fire safety act as of a couple of years back. So

[12:32] it's reflective of duties that standing but now a council resolution is required

[12:39] » and just for specificity on that piece and to be conscientious of not veering

[12:44] into discussion of labor it's to be assumed that these duties would be

[12:49] already subsumed within their roles and this would be adding additional work and

[12:53] are already compensated according to what these requirements are. I must be

[12:56] careful here, right? Not to bear labor. >> There have been uh increased or new

[13:01] training courses that the OFC has put out uh that offers some guidance on what

[13:06] the fire safety act uh for the new fire safety act requires. But uh you know

[13:11] it's kind of run the mill for you know the training that the fire department is

[13:15] in. So yes and no. But no, >> it's anticipated. Yeah. Thank you.

[13:23] All right, I'm going to call a question. All those in favor?

[13:28] Opposed? All right. Moving on to 9.2. Uh that council direct administration to

[13:34] proceed to obtain cost estimates and begin fundraising for village office

[13:38] park playground phase 2 and proceed with the fundraising and grant applications

[13:43] with construction and any village funding commitment subject to further

[13:46] council approval. >> I'll second.

[13:49] Two options. >> We going again.

[13:52] There are two fun is to the one that he brought forward.

[13:56] » Wait again. Option two is what I read which is continue with what we're doing.

[14:00] Let's look for grants. Let's get >> second.

[14:04] » Any discussion? >> So congrats to all the folks involved

[14:07] with the completion of phase one. So this is basically saying, hey, we got

[14:10] the plans for phase two. We're interested in moving forward and we'll

[14:14] see what we can do. But this isn't a full commitment, right? This isn't a

[14:17] commitment of funds. This isn't a commitment to proceed. that's basically

[14:20] investigating our costs and what could be possible.

[14:23] » There is a cautionary aspect in this um where we do have a a very rough much

[14:28] more limited scope than phase one that's included in the report which basically

[14:32] describes uh removing replacing slides on the existing like that older place

[14:36] structure replacing the gravel surface supporting place surfacing then

[14:41] completing some other minor improvements around the park. There's a scenario here

[14:45] where if council says staff, you know, tell your grant writer to swing away.

[14:50] Let's let's get some grant applications going. That does create a scenario where

[14:55] you guys, you know, there's there's a donor expectation that we use those

[14:58] funds if we are, you know, if folks are generous enough to, you know, provide

[15:02] funds in trust for the improvement to that part, right? That's it starts. I'm

[15:08] I'm just trying to put that caution out there, right? where eventually you start

[15:12] creating an expectation. Um if council wants to see us uh aggressively pursue

[15:17] uh getting phase two complete um you know by all means we're we're happy to

[15:22] go with that. That was the intent behind option two that is included there let's

[15:26] uh let's keep this momentum going. Let's uh you know start pursuing grants etc.

[15:31] um where you could uh you know our alternative recommendation that we have

[15:34] in there is you could wait to see how the financial planning process uh for

[15:39] 2027 is kind of shaping up and maybe ask for more reporting from staff and what a

[15:43] scope would look like. So up to you it's kind of you want the cautious approach

[15:48] or you know let's you know full speed ahead.

[15:53] I'm going to down a bit. We're We're looking for grants to put a slide back

[15:59] and get some gravel, some e- gravel with the playground. Is that right?

[16:04] » Rubber. >> Oh, replacing the replacing the pravel

[16:07] with the rubber matting and putting a slide back.

[16:10] » Yes. >> And asking corporations and if they

[16:12] would donate to that and applying for grants so that taxpayer money from the

[16:16] village isn't affected.

[16:19] » That's correct. >> That's your worship. That's fair.

[16:22] » Yes. >> And if I remember correctly, that's how

[16:23] phase one was funded as well. because uh we we kind of stonewalled her on that

[16:28] one. Told her told her that it was fundraising money.

[16:31] » Kind of stonewalled her. We said not no not a scent of taxpayer dollar.

[16:36] » Hey, she did a great job. You know, I think this this largely stemmed from an

[16:41] email from your grant writer Andy to myself saying, "Hey, I have these

[16:45] applications that are open. I can press send on these." I said, "Oh, hold up.

[16:49] Let's see if council's in for this uh for round two." So, I just wanted to

[16:52] check with you guys before I said, you know, let's let's go ahead and start

[16:56] this uh start this process again, right? Got the playground half done. I say

[17:01] let's finish it. >> And the other piece, if I may, it's the

[17:06] construction wouldn't even be happening till next year anyways. There's still

[17:08] options on this road to retreat if need be.

[17:11] » That's correct. Okay. >> It's a slide.

[17:13] » All right. I'm going to call the question on uh village office playground

[17:18] phase 2 option two. All those in favor? Right. That's unanimous and carried.

[17:26] All righty. Uh on to 9.3. That council approved the water sewer or

[17:32] the water system capital improvement plan and sewer system capital

[17:34] improvement plan prepared by Mel >> Nahi. I don't I can read it. I can't

[17:40] say. Uh both dated August 28, 2026. and that council direct administration to

[17:45] incorporate the plans, recommended priorities, implementation schedules,

[17:49] and cost estimates into future budgeting and asset management assumptions with

[17:53] individual projects subject to council's budget

[17:56] » and project approvals. You have a second.

[18:02] » All righty. Councelor Wal, >> I am very very I want to thank staff for

[18:08] this uh and I want to thank everyone involved in this. This has been ongoing

[18:11] for the last couple of years. Anyways, through the whole term, we've been

[18:16] trying to figure out exactly what's what infrastructure we have and the condition

[18:20] of that infrastructure to create a long-term plan to determine where we

[18:24] need to budget for, what we need to replace, when we need to replace it, and

[18:28] and what we need to replace it with. And when we started this project,

[18:33] there were certain area, it's kind of embarrassing to say it. There were

[18:36] certain areas in the village that we didn't even know where the sewer lines

[18:38] were. The survey map was off by 15 ft in some places. Some houses even have water

[18:43] shut offs. It It was quite a mess. Now we know where everything is. We have

[18:49] looked at everything. We know where the infrastructure needs to improve and it's

[18:53] actually in better condition than I thought it was going to be. For the most

[18:56] part, I'm very, very happy to see this. I would please ask council their support

[19:01] of this resolution so that the next council is set up for success and they

[19:05] know exactly what needs to be done and where.

[19:11] » Any questions? >> So, well, thank you. Thank you to staff.

[19:15] Thank you to the folks at Mac for producing this. This was needed. We

[19:19] needed to know where we were at. This has already been paid for and from my

[19:23] understanding and this gives us clear data in what we need to prioritize over

[19:28] the next so many years. It's going to be expensive. But this is the systems that

[19:33] we rely on so that we can keep flushing our toilets and keep turning on the

[19:36] taps, continue to have the services that we rely on that keep us safe and

[19:41] sanitary. Um, so it sounds like it's basically we'll accept sounds like we're

[19:46] working towards accepting this plan and then implementing it in our future

[19:49] planning and then we can target in our future capital budgets what areas we

[19:53] need to move forward. But um, I do appreciate the work done with this. It's

[19:57] very indepth. Um, I don't know if there's anything specifically want to

[20:01] ask of the contractors that have come all this way.

[20:04] » I've seen the one thing I did like to see though is that majority of the

[20:07] village now is PBC which has, you know, significantly

[20:12] longer lifespan, which is great. And it's actually nice to have everything

[20:16] all together pulled into one document. So for future planning, we can see where

[20:19] everything is going forward for whoever occupies the seats next can then, you

[20:24] know, make some informed decisions and doesn't have to spend three years

[20:28] chasing everything, put it all together, >> figuring out where the leak is.

[20:32] » Yeah, exactly. So, no, it's good to see. And yeah, uh if there's no other

[20:35] comments, I'm going to call the question.

[20:38] All those in favor? That's unanimously carried. Not opposed.

[20:43] » I wish we could talk the circumstance for that. That's good deal.

[20:45] » Yeah. No, >> that's a lot of No, that's so fantastic.

[20:48] » No, people get an opportunity to go through that report. It's good to see

[20:51] and get an idea where especially for our asset management stuff. I mean, it's

[20:55] good knowing that we don't have to look at replaceable pile sewer and stuff

[20:58] going forward and allows funds to go elsewhere.

[21:02] All right. Uh that being said, uh we're going to move on to 9.4.

[21:06] Uh fin update. Oh yes,

[21:12] thank you. Uh, acting mayor will the, uh, this is an information report just

[21:16] letting you know that the, uh, RFQ that we ran for drive, uh, fire hydrant

[21:21] replacement, uh, didn't receive any, uh, bids, so to speak. So, we're going to

[21:26] proceed to uh, pursue a direct with tractor. So, we're just giving you folks

[21:31] a heads up that put it out to the market, got nothing back. So, uh, we're

[21:34] going to try our best to client pricing, get the this work done before. Do you

[21:39] need a motion or anything on that? >> I know you wish policy does give

[21:43] permission for us to you know proceed in this direction.

[21:46] » The circumstance we just still felt it was important to keep council move

[21:50] forward. >> I I do appreciate snapping this forward

[21:54] for transparency's sake. Has there been other issues in procurement recently or

[22:00] specific to this item or is it just a kind of oneoff? Nobody really looked at

[22:03] the bid. How do we prevent this from happening in the future?

[22:06] » Yeah, it's a good question. Um, I did uh Chad would probably have a he's been

[22:13] closer on the communications of some of the contractors that have uh, you know,

[22:17] we're kind of toying with the idea of submitting a proposal on this. It does

[22:22] seem like uh, Dawson has a lot more based on my conversations with Chad, it

[22:27] seems like Dawson has a lot more license going at this time and it seems like the

[22:33] available companies that might be inclined to bid on that are quite busy.

[22:37] So it might be a business, it might be a time of the year thing like Chad and I

[22:41] are, you know, always kind of trying to ask ourselves, how can we get it out

[22:44] sooner than next year? So it's a little bit easier for folks to kind of stand,

[22:49] » but those are the two things that come to mind right away.

[22:54] » I wouldn't say it's endemic. We've had some good response to some of the other

[22:59] RFQS and RFPs that we put up this year. >> Yeah.

[23:03] » And then of course just for liabil legal pieces. Um the direct award to this

[23:09] contractor, the contractor that would be receiving this direct award has the

[23:13] capacity, capabilities, certifications, and so on and so forth to complete the

[23:16] work properly and up to what the legislation requirements are.

[23:20] » We will make sure that awesome.

[23:23] » Thank you. >> All right, we're going to move on to

[23:26] item number 10, correspondence. Uh is there anything for correspondence that

[23:29] anybody would like to see lifted? >> I think we have to

[23:34] respond to the survey. I I I so move that council lift item

[23:39] 10.1 for discussion.

[23:42] » Second. Second. >> Um I would prefer if we kept this as

[23:47] information for now and then council could go through each individual item

[23:51] that we need to respond to because there is a list of different responses um that

[23:55] that we would have to do for the next meeting. Is that is that fair through

[23:58] chair staff? >> I was just going to check the response

[24:01] deadline because I believe it uh was a fairly tight turnaround. I would like to

[24:05] say the first question we should answer marginal as an answer as one of the

[24:09] offices because they have been trying to pawn off their infrastructure has to

[24:12] repair and replace

[24:17] the response date isn't included >> when it comes to highway maintenance

[24:20] it's our responsibility but it's not our highway I don't really like that

[24:26] » 18th of the month they kindly requested a reply by

[24:31] you know we can always submit the form late I guess for extension

[24:34] not a guarantee. >> Could is this something that we'd have

[24:37] to have a meeting specifically to determine answers for or could this be

[24:39] over email? >> Uh I feel like there's you folks could

[24:44] perhaps direct the chair to offer any feedback. My my thinking was that we

[24:48] would get feedback from Chad uh to feedback to Argo and if there was

[24:53] feedback coralled through the mayor uh we could both uh input our comments onto

[24:57] the forums that if that works. >> I'll make a motion to do that.

[25:03] So motion to >> uh do what he said.

[25:07] » Yeah. Do what he said. >> There's a recommendation to report

[25:11] there. One sec. Let me pull it up. >> Is there a recommendation?

[25:14] » Uh there's a cover report. Modest, but >> 198 or something.

[25:18] » Council uh authorizing acting mayor Whittle to provide uh feedback in

[25:23] response to the provincial government stakeholder assessment form.

[25:26] » That's my motion.

[25:31] » What? You have to observe it. All those in favor

[25:38] motion carries. >> All right. I will uh I will sit on Mr.

[25:42] Minson and we will formulate something and we will send it out to council for

[25:47] » so long as it reflects the state. >> I just think for the first question

[25:51] there, how how are they doing on their infrastructure maintenance? I think it's

[25:55] » the fact that they keep asking us to do it for them

[25:58] » is is not very good. >> Well, that's the thing. It's another one

[26:00] of those provincial download. >> Well, if we're going to maintain the

[26:05] highway, I want highway funding. >> Exactly.

[26:07] » All right. That being said, we're going to move on to resolutions. We have none.

[26:12] Bylaws that the village of Busoop is zoning

[26:15] bylaw 1093 2026 be read for a third time and that administration forwarded the

[26:19] bylaw to the Ministry Transportation and Transit for approval prior to returning

[26:23] it to council for consideration of adoption. Do

[26:26] » I have a second? >> Right. Councelor Johnson, councelor.

[26:31] » So, this now moves from the special meeting, second reading, now to a third

[26:36] reading. However, we send it off to the Ministry of Transport, but it gives the

[26:41] public still an opportunity if they so wish to respond before the fourth

[26:45] reading. They can send correspondence into the village office

[26:49] to us because it's outside of that public hearing.

[26:52] » I don't think we're obligated to be held to that information, but it can submit

[26:57] like anybody I should uh clarify uh acting mayor the

[27:03] uh public hearing that you folks had tonight is intended to be the

[27:07] opportunity for folks to make representations to council about the

[27:10] bylaw. Um further representations uh beyond what was done tonight would by

[27:17] the statute be considered to be procedurally unfair. So uh you know

[27:21] generally uh public comment on the bylaw itself is uh is closed unless council

[27:26] wants to resend third reading and uh you know have another public.

[27:31] » Would somebody not be permitted to uh comment on it though if it is an agenda

[27:35] item and they come in for uh like a question period then they

[27:41] opportunity. Surprisingly, no. Like the the idea is that the uh opportunity for

[27:45] for the public to make representations was tonight. If somebody wanted to come

[27:49] and add uh additional information after that, uh the idea would be that it's uh

[27:54] you know, unfair to the other residents that did attend the public hearing.

[27:59] Uh yeah, basically it's perceived as unfair, procedurally unfair.

[28:05] » Even though it's a very reasonable question to ask, it's

[28:10] clarification. No, and I appreciate that clarification

[28:13] as well. We've done a lot of work on this. This is the villages bylaw. If the

[28:18] folks that live here, own businesses here, they don't agree with it, then so

[28:22] be it, and then they should bring that forward. However, I think we've opened

[28:26] up opportunities for homebased businesses or businesses for use of

[28:31] property. I think we've made this fair and reasonable by law. However, it's not

[28:36] just ours, it's all of ours, right? like we all build this community together and

[28:41] if there is some serious concern over it, we're not just trying to force this.

[28:45] We're really we've taken the deliberate work to really consult with folks. So if

[28:50] there is something glaring, let us know because we had folks approach us about

[28:54] agricultural accessory dwelling or accessory building land heights and we

[28:59] changed that. So anyways, I appreciate that. Yeah.

[29:03] » And I I would just like to say that looking into this bylaw before tonight's

[29:08] meeting, I I went through uh previous council agendas. This is the 19th

[29:12] meeting we've had this bylaw in the meeting on the agendas.

[29:15] I went through my emails. I have a list of emails going back three years. I

[29:21] don't know how many emails, probably 40 or 50 of them from probably 15 or 20

[29:25] different residents regarding concerns with this bylaw. All of those concerns

[29:29] have been addressed. They have all been changed um regarding heights in the ALR,

[29:34] regarding fence, regarding setbacks, regarding uh material structure,

[29:38] regarding impermeable lot area, regarding driveway materials, regarding

[29:43] drainage, so on so on so on, parking, everything. We've we've I think we've

[29:51] » it's not a perfect bylaw. It never will be. There's always going to be somebody

[29:55] who's unhappy about something, but there has been three years to comment on it. I

[30:01] I I know I've received lots of emails. I'm I'm sure the rest of you have as

[30:05] well. Um I I'm very satisfied with the file and the work we've done on it.

[30:11] And I mean, if people still have concerns, they I I wouldn't say, do I

[30:16] have to say no? Theoretic. Again, this is a strict interpretation of the law,

[30:20] but technically the requirement correspondence that's received at our

[30:24] office of trust counselors on the uh bylaw between public hearing and

[30:30] adoption that's required to be withheld by staff because you know by statute

[30:36] council's required to have an open mind when the public hearing happens. You

[30:39] know once the public hearing does happen you know council uh goes on to you know

[30:44] subsequent hearings and uh the opportunity for public representations

[30:47] is closed after that. Idea being that you know the public have a shot at doing

[30:51] it. You have an opportunity theoretically to a adopt the bylaw and

[30:56] reopen an amendment or open >> I do think this is the community's bylaw

[30:59] though of every bylaw we've done this term on council this is the one that

[31:02] I've seen the most input from from the most people and we've made very

[31:06] significant changes >> based on based on those recommendations

[31:11] » moreover if if any council members do have a change of art you know on the

[31:14] bylaw you know determined that you know hey something you missed or there's a

[31:19] policy objective that isn't in there's always that option

[31:23] reading and the public hearing can happen again. I'm not trying to, you

[31:27] know, uh suggest to council that they're walking off a ledge or anything.

[31:30] Everything in here is is possible to to fix, you know, adjust, but there is a

[31:35] procedure requirement that comes along after the public hearing is held that

[31:39] basically says that's the opportunity for public.

[31:42] » This is meeting 19. The next one will be 20 and if we go back it'll be 21.

[31:48] » All righty. So, with that being said, I'm going to call the question. All

[31:52] those in favor? Right. And none opposed. That carries

[31:56] unanimously for the third reading. Recommendations. All right. Uh item

[32:00] number 13, administrative reports. Uh public works report. Uh make motion that

[32:05] council receives the public works report dated August 26, 2026. August 2026 for

[32:12] information. Second. Any discussion on that?

[32:18] All right. All those in favor and accepting for information that's none

[32:23] opposed. Uh 13.2 fire department report motion to uh make a motion to accept

[32:30] fire department report for information. >> Second

[32:34] comments, concerns on that. Hearing none. Let's call the question. All those

[32:39] in favor accepting the fire department's report for information. Right. That's

[32:43] unanimous. None opposed. CA's report. CAO's report that council received the

[32:48] chief administrative officer report dated September 9th, 2026 for

[32:52] information. >> Second,

[32:54] » Mr. Melkinson, you got anything you want to add that's not on the report or

[32:57] anything you want to highlight? >> No, just a thank you to uh all the staff

[33:01] um for their work over the last few weeks. Um certainly a thank you to uh uh

[33:06] Abby and uh you know, village contractors for their assistance. Uh I

[33:10] think the CIPs on water and sewer are a major milestone and you know definitely

[33:15] wanted to pass along that credit. So, thank you to uh takes a village, no pun

[33:19] intended. >> All right. All right. I'll call a

[33:24] question of uh accepting the CEO's report for information.

[33:32] Um I do have uh for your instruction, I do have Mayor Beach here who's offering

[33:36] to join the meeting if uh it means that a decision could be reached on the reach

[33:41] for earlier. I don't know if that's something you might be interested in.

[33:45] She's available before we're done then. Yeah, because we have conflicts. So,

[33:48] she's available that we can >> have court. That'd be great.

[33:51] » Fair enough. If you give me like a two-minute recess, I just love to check

[33:54] procedure file and make sure I'm not breaking any rules.

[33:57] » Yeah. You know what? All we got left is reports. So, what we'll do is we'll do

[34:01] reports and then I'm going to bury the agenda. We're going to take a 10-minute

[34:05] recess. So, I'll make a motion that we bury the agenda after the reports. Can I

[34:09] get a second? >> All right. Might not need to hear my I'm

[34:13] just checking. All right, we just call recessing.

[34:17] » Yeah, but the agenda because we're taking that proclamation

[34:24] recess because of a procedural thing. So, we'll do that after the reports. All

[34:28] right. So, we'll get our reports done. So uh 14.1 council Johnson

[34:33] » I do have I do have the library meeting on the 24th of September

[34:40] somebody else be nice to have somebody I know it's

[34:46] portfolio that okay uh yeah we'll see I'm out of town

[34:52] to work for that one so >> yeah I'll be

[34:55] touch base all righty councelor wall >> so I I had a conversation with the

[35:01] museum. I've been working with them regarding the hard hotel artifacts and

[35:04] uh helping them with a garage sale idea that we we previously approved. Um went

[35:10] and did a tour in there with Mr. Mulkinson and Mr. Dvau uh from public

[35:16] works to look and see what what is in the building there, what is salvageable,

[35:20] what could be sold for the museum, and what could be used as artifacts in the

[35:24] future for the museum in the event the building does sell. Um,

[35:29] so that was great. I think there's lots in

[35:32] there and I think the museum could have really successful fundraiser doing that.

[35:37] Uh, walk over to the Cano um, regarding their facade improvement grant. They are

[35:42] super excited about their grant that they are received are receiving. Little

[35:48] bit of confusion there about how they're going to get it, but they are approved.

[35:52] They're very very happy about that. Um, and they're really excited to put up a

[35:56] canopy. So when people pull in, they can be under a roof, have pay at the pump

[36:00] like every other gas station. They're they're looking really forward to that.

[36:03] And uh went with some friends and their children to the new playground and it

[36:08] seems to be a hit. Like it was, you know, after dark even walked over there

[36:14] about 9:00 at night. Still families in in there. It was quite busy this weekend

[36:19] when we rode by. >> I know. So I I think it's I think the

[36:22] playground's a hit. >> It's a hit. It's it's good.

[36:26] One one critique I got from one of the little girls that was in there was they

[36:30] miss they miss the what? >> The seat belt.

[36:33] » No, not the seat. Well, I already told you about the seat belt.

[36:36] » No, that's from the parent. Like it's kind of sketchy with the kids in the

[36:39] thing, but >> kids find it more fun. I think it was

[36:42] they miss the curly slide, >> which I'm not sure.

[36:47] » Kids mentioned that, too. We were there the other day.

[36:49] » Okay. It unfortunately got busted up when we were pouring the rubber. So, it

[36:54] had a Yeah,

[36:56] » it it had seen better days, but that is in phase two is that we replace that

[37:00] slide and uh you know all slides of the structure.

[37:03] » Well, there we go. Anyways, oh and uh yesterday I went to a seminar to learn

[37:08] about the Canadian economy. It was uh held by Stephen Harper in Grand Prairie.

[37:13] Yeah, that was super fun. Learned a lot. Uh so very valuable experience there.

[37:19] » Um just learn about the Canadian economy and how the BC economy, Alberta economy

[37:24] and more in northern BC. Um we we accounted for a majority of Canada's GDP

[37:31] growth in this last year where the rest of the country is seeing a recession.

[37:36] Our industry is kind of in a sound counteryclical nature is how he

[37:39] described it to to kind of make up the difference for

[37:43] the rest of the country. So I want to thank our resource workers for that and

[37:47] continuing to go out there and do what needs to be done.

[37:52] » Yeah. All righty. Councelor Rabble. >> Well, I'll be frank. There's none to

[37:57] report at this time. There's some good stuff in the

[38:01] » All righty. Uh, Mayor Beach is away tonight. She's going to join us a little

[38:05] bit later. Um, but we'll catch her report from her when she gets back. I'm

[38:09] sure she'll have a lengthy one after we see him. Uh, so yeah, for myself, I did

[38:13] meet uh with the RCMP detachment commander uh last week. Uh, did get the

[38:18] word that he is going to be moving on. Uh it's been great to have here for the

[38:23] last three years. Uh so we will to get a new uh staff sergeant here uh come later

[38:29] this fall. So yeah, that'll be something to look forward to and working with the

[38:34] new staff sergeant. So yeah, uh touch base with him. Uh one thing we did talk

[38:38] about as well uh was the increase in uh dirt bikes and uh you know the

[38:46] inappropriate use of dirt bikes within the community, right? because I know

[38:49] it's something that's come up to us before uh three years ago when we first

[38:52] started meeting with the same detachment proper on a regular basis. You know, we

[38:56] weren't super concerned about the ATVs and the UTVs and the dirt bikes going

[39:00] through town because most people are respectful about it. Yeah, there is

[39:03] rules against it, but you know, when somebody's respectful about it, you're

[39:06] not necessarily going to raise a lot of concern. Uh but unfortunately, we've had

[39:10] some individuals that have been doing catwalks through town. There's been

[39:13] accidents that have almost been caused, kids that have almost been run over and

[39:17] some general unsafe behavior. Uh so with that, I did request the RCMP step up a

[39:23] little bit uh for enforcement. Also had a conversation with Mr. Melinson. Uh

[39:28] they uh talked about a lot about stepping up enforcement a little bit on

[39:31] that. So there has been some movement on that and it's not everybody. Uh it's a

[39:36] handful of maybe four or six individuals that are uh participating in extremely

[39:42] unsafe behavior. You see these kids catwalking or young people catwalking up

[39:47] the hill on the outside of town coming through town

[39:50] » right down 49 catwalking and you know traveling at safe speed.

[39:55] Unfortunately, you know, uh, you know, kind of ruins for all. So, we will see

[40:01] some more enforcement coming from the RC on that and with stuff on that as well.

[40:07] » Question about your report. Um, so I know that we've been working on that

[40:10] bylaw uh to give it a little bit more teeth about people stunting and riding

[40:15] their dirt bikes and quads at unsafe speeds through the community, not

[40:18] stopping a stop sign, sort of things. Um, it was about 90% of the way there

[40:22] last time. Is that have you heard anything about that?

[40:24] » I haven't heard anything more on but the one concern that was raised by RCMP is

[40:28] that it's virtually impossible to pursue these kids right or these people. If

[40:33] they stop right on but if they don't parent

[40:36] » well that's the thing but you have to find out who the child is or who the

[40:39] person is right so it's a process so it's not as simple as hey we got you and

[40:43] you know for the RCMP to pursue on the chase and god forbid somebody gets hurt

[40:47] something happens well now it's going to get hung on them. So they have to be

[40:51] very cautious on how they pursue it and investigate as well. So the best thing

[40:55] person can do is if you have pictures video of it or you know you see it is

[40:59] report it uh cuz it's like anything else the more you report it the squeaky wheel

[41:04] gets the grease street. So I know it uh quite regularly throughout the community

[41:08] you see it. So I just encourage people to report that uh before you know we end

[41:12] up having to call an ambulance because I much rather call the cops on somebody

[41:15] than call an ambulance. Right. So, >> um yeah, uh that was kind of my report

[41:20] for that. Um >> Mayor Wood, just further to your point

[41:24] about we did have a off-road vehicles bylaw

[41:28] uh revision or not revision but a new bylaw that was kind of a um

[41:35] initiated by uh Mr. Gon presented at the last meeting. Um at that meeting,

[41:40] council really wanted some specificity from staff on just really making bylaw

[41:46] was enforceable and that uh you know wanted to go through a couple of

[41:50] scenarios about okay if we do this you know will we be able to will this you

[41:54] know help the cops etc. So there's a few questions that we're chasing some

[41:58] answers to and we expect that we should have a a new version of the offer to you

[42:04] guys for probably the next meeting here. >> All right we do have mayor joining as

[42:11] well that's okay. >> All righty. So yeah, we're going to vary

[42:14] our agenda and I am going to bring back the uh proclamation

[42:22] for the legion. Um so yeah, I did bring a motion to vary

[42:27] the agenda. I got a seconder. I'm going to call the question on varying the

[42:30] agenda. Uh all right. So discussion on varing the agenda for tonight.

[42:37] We can do that >> procedurally. We're good with that. It's

[42:39] probably do without objection consent if you wish. Uh yeah. All

[42:43] » right. So I'm going to call the question. All those in favor of varying

[42:46] the agenda for tonight opposed. Not opposed. All right. That's

[42:52] carried. All righty. Uh we are going to jump

[42:55] back. Mayor Vich, are you there? >> I am here. Can you hear me?

[42:59] » Yeah, I can hear you. All righty. So, we are going to jump back to 7.1 for the

[43:04] Legion Proclamation. So, I'm going to make a motion uh the

[43:08] week of September 20th, 2026. December 20th to 26, 2026 be proclaimed as the

[43:14] Legion week and the village of Kusku week.

[43:17] I will have to declare a conflict uh same conflict as last time due to my

[43:21] close relationship with the people running the Legion and my previous uh

[43:25] role as president of the branch. Um it I've I've got to recuse myself from

[43:32] anything to do with Legion at this moment.

[43:35] I'd like to declare a personal conflict of interest um due my former role as a

[43:40] treasurer, my close personal relationship with the Legion. As well, I

[43:43] have recused myself in previous meetings regarding Legion topics, especially the

[43:48] tax uh municipal tax piece as well when they received kind of a waiver of that.

[43:53] So, I'm going to recuse myself. and staff, if you uh make that uh put that

[43:59] in minutes, please. >> All righty. I am going to proceed with

[44:04] the uh proclamation for the legion. All righty. So, proclamation 2026 Legion

[44:11] week in Busousi. uh whereas this is a Royal Canadian Legion National Institute

[44:19] uh provided by the Dominion Executive Committee in 2023 to establish First

[44:25] Nations Legion week. And whereas the Royal Canadian Legion is a nonprofit

[44:30] organization that exists uh to promote remembrance and to assist veterans and

[44:34] their dependents in their time of need. and where the National Legion Week is

[44:40] designated to educate visitors on the good works their local branches do in

[44:45] their communities. It reinforces the important role of branch plays within

[44:49] our uh shared mission and to serve and support our veterans as well as

[44:54] contribute to the well-being of so many communities.

[44:58] Uh it serves as a vehicle to drive new traffic to branches, attract new members

[45:03] and sign up new volunteers. As whereas the National Legion week uh reinforces

[45:08] the importance of the role of Legion plays in the shared mission uh to serve

[45:13] and support veterans including serving military RCMP members and their families

[45:17] and contributes to the well-being of the community and where the uh ceremonial

[45:24] will

[45:36] Battle of Britain day ending the following Saturday. Now for I acting

[45:41] Mayor Marcel hereby proclaim September 20th to 26, 2026 as Legion Week in the

[45:46] village of Gooie. >> Congratulations.

[45:53] » Mayor Beach. >> Um and do we call on all those in favor?

[45:57] Just make sure everybody. >> Yeah. All those in favor and we passed.

[46:04] » All righty. >> Yeah.

[46:08] » Um yeah, thank you so much. I know that the legion members were there for the

[46:13] proclamation. Of course, we ending forum. So, I'd just like um council to

[46:17] know that I have also um reached out to the board and let them know that um I'm

[46:23] also comfortable reading the proclamation for them um on video and

[46:29] then they'll have that prep for their board meeting for September 19th as

[46:32] well. So, um I will be reading it tomorrow um afternoon and I'll send that

[46:38] off to them as well just because they they are no longer there so they miss

[46:42] the opportunity um opportunity to add it. So,

[46:46] All righty. Well, thank you for that. All righty. Uh, with that being said,

[47:06] » Oh, no. >> The same as if uh I don't know what car

[47:12] hit the deer. >> I wonder if the same kid I saw.

[47:16] » The surprising part of it was been about 15 minutes. They had a buddy

[47:22] with him. He helped him a lot. Quite a few cars stopped and then gradually

[47:27] trickled away. Uh they got that bike out of there before the cops come and there.

[47:32] » Oh yeah. >> They run out much slower than they come

[47:36] in though. >> On two wheels.

[47:39] » On two wheels. Yeah. >> But it was uh

[47:44] It was quite a sight that the amount of flopping around that everything was I

[47:49] had a permanent distance. I didn't get it really close, but uh I didn't think

[47:54] he would be getting up and walking away. I thought the red lights coming in.

[47:59] » He was fine. >> Actually, I have lots of questions. So,

[48:02] we'll get to Duncan here. >> Okay. And you guys, when is the

[48:06] wheelchair round being done at the post office?

[48:10] When is the the cutout for wheelchairs to get into this park going to be put

[48:15] in? When is >> these intersections for the school being

[48:31] information about that. So, >> thank you.

[48:34] When it comes to the other stuff, I believe they're out for uh contractors

[48:38] to bid on them, right? >> You go with yours and I'll just

[48:43] I I I keep bringing back to come here to get it.

[48:48] » Okay. So, when it comes to the intersections, so in front of the gas

[48:51] station and by the school. >> Yeah.

[48:53] » So, we've got the drawings back from the Ministry of Transportation.

[48:56] » They are fully funding the project. >> So, we are not No Scoopy dollars are

[49:00] going to that. That was out of our delegation to the Minister of

[49:04] Transportation last year at UBCM. >> There isn't a date set yet. I know they

[49:10] have surveyed it and they said that they will get it done before the sword

[49:13] happens. >> They've done both Duncan said that there

[49:17] were lines done and lines already put out and where they're going to cut the

[49:21] thing. >> Yes. So, they have they've done all the

[49:23] surveying along the highway uh regarding the crossings. They're going to have to

[49:26] put in a power under the highway to do that and they've been working with Argo

[49:30] to do that. Um, but they did say the project will be done before winter

[49:35] happens. >> Jake, I'm I'm going to be holding you

[49:39] all to this. >> That's what the Minister of

[49:41] Transportation does not come back here and I'll be questioning the new mayor.

[49:48] » So, the thing is where the Minister of Transport lives, it doesn't snow until

[49:52] December. Actually, actually I told them to give me the the email and I would

[49:56] write to the minister and tell my my concerns about this thing and I got

[50:00] emails and I'm going to write to him tomorrow actually. Thank you.

[50:03] » You can we will be actually funny thing about that. Next

[50:20] Not even Wednesday. >> I'm on Wednesday.

[50:23] » I don't care. I I'll you I'll get on that call back.

[50:27] » Yeah. >> I'll be pretty sure. I'll be pretty

[50:30] sure. >> I will I will let the minister know and

[50:34] and we have witnesses here that we have had a member of the public bring it up.

[50:38] They want to see it done when they >> person with disabilities. So I'm sure

[50:42] right there. >> Oh, he already knows I'm dis.

[50:44] » Okay. Okay. Now you asked that question. Now back to Duncan. about the

[50:50] wheelchair, about the wheelchair come into park that I keep asking about every

[50:55] week, even at the Rotary Me cuz you and I belong to the same Rotary and about

[50:59] the post office. >> The post

[51:04] I'm not good at post office. Uh there was an RFP that was issued earlier this

[51:08] summer to see what kind of pricing it would be for a new entrance to the post

[51:12] office uh that would be accessible. uh council has directed staff to apply for

[51:18] a RBC grant to stretch the budget uh a little bit more because the uh 2026

[51:23] budget allocation was uh $20,000. Uh the idea would be that the grant application

[51:28] would extend that to about uh between 40 and $45,000.

[51:34] Um I was saying the pricing that we got back from the RFP uh hasn't been

[51:39] amazing. The first price that we got was theoretically in scope. Uh but it wasn't

[51:45] clear to us that the person that bid actually uh understood the full breadth

[51:50] of what we were wanting to do there. For instance, they didn't have pricing on

[51:53] the removal of the existing structure that was in place. So, we're uh in the

[51:57] process of confirming that with that uh uh contractor and then other pricing was

[52:03] way outside the ballpark of what uh so that question now cut into the park

[52:11] there. >> The left down from the sidewalk to the

[52:13] pavement on 49th to permit accessible access to the park. I haven't measured

[52:18] the difference because it looks like we've uh paved over 49th a few times,

[52:22] but the difference is quite Hi. >> It's it's quite uh similar like they're

[52:29] they're quite close to each other where a person could very easily you know just

[52:33] similar >> question.

[52:35] » Anyhow um in terms of uh aligning with ADA standards or

[52:40] » that's what I want ADA standards >> there's an opportunity to uh cleave out

[52:46] a portion of that sidewalk so that it's a more smooth transition.

[52:50] » Elevate the pavement >> when I'm on deadline probably going to

[52:53] be a phase two thing. grinder you can borrow

[52:57] » because I got a grinder >> because I you know me I'm

[53:00] straightforward you know I'll make sure I'll make sure the media is out here and

[53:05] » if I if I may say something about that so we tonight we went ahead with uh

[53:10] proceeding with phase two of the park plan

[53:13] » and that and that is in phase two >> so I don't think Duncan can give you a

[53:17] deadline today or something we just agreed to do today

[53:20] » but to get those professionally done it is quite expensive uh to you know you

[53:23] need to get a contractor you know, to a certain standard.

[53:28] » Now, my where you have that uh >> the gas station.

[53:33] » No, no, no, no. That uh Canada Day thing, you know, not accessible for

[53:38] people in wheelchairs to get in there either. So, so, so the park where it's

[53:43] paid, you know, I want to see that.

[53:48] » I want to see that. I want to see I want to see you move to the new era the stay

[53:55] back in 1980s get into on the same page as Prince

[54:00] George and down not not in you know >> if I can say something about argue that

[54:05] » so we were looking at we're looking at paving elevator road

[54:08] » yes >> right now elevator road we've put out uh

[54:11] RFPs to do that >> contract signed

[54:14] » contract signed >> what it's going to happen the price on

[54:18] doing about half of Elevator Road is about 3/4 of a million dollars.

[54:23] » Wow. >> I'm going to kill that. We don't have

[54:26] the money. >> I don't know.

[54:29] » And and that there is critical infrastructure that we need. We need to

[54:31] re we need to redo that. But over there, nobody lives down there. We use that

[54:37] park a couple days a year. And for the for the co I I hate to put it this way,

[54:41] but for the cost of for the cost of paving, it's it's really high. However,

[54:47] what we do offer on Canada Day is a free bus service that we you can get picked

[54:53] up. >> Okay, that's good. Okay, my next

[54:55] question is that part overware school is that accessible to people with

[55:00] disabilities and wheelchairs and if not then I want that done next.

[55:04] » I know it's something we're looking on. Councelor Ronald had something that he

[55:07] wanted to bring. So to respond as well, council had actually received a report

[55:12] so many meetings ago regarding the playground area where the bald diamonds

[55:16] are. >> We've been working closely with Iron

[55:18] Wolf and they had worked with the graphic designer to present us with a

[55:21] proposal. So that's actually something that's coming back for budget 2027 as

[55:25] well as my understanding. It is a quite a costly endeavor and it would be a

[55:30] multi-phase piece as well, but we've been paying attention to these pieces.

[55:33] That's why we did put more money into the sidewalk repavements. We've grinded

[55:37] down some of those sidewalks as well, some of those really bumpy spots, but

[55:40] once again, we don't have the cash to redo the whole village tomorrow. So, it

[55:45] is definitely we are and we do appreciate you having hosted and your

[55:50] organization hosting that wheelchair challenge. It was enlightening, right?

[55:53] We traveled around. We realized how hard it is to get over the sidewalks from the

[55:58] school. Going over that culvert to get over to the road was extremely difficult

[56:02] on a wheelchair. So, I definitely hear you. I understand where you're coming

[56:06] from because I couldn't imagine trying to push a stroller or move a wheelchair

[56:10] throughout the village. It'd be extremely difficult. So, what's going to

[56:13] happen where that, you know, where it was hard, you got over that thing to get

[56:17] to the school into that. Is that being fixed?

[56:20] » You know what I'm talking about? You know, when you get to crossing to there,

[56:24] there's a hard thing where you couldn't get up that thing.

[56:26] » Well, I think we what we did is after we did the wheelchair uh thing with you,

[56:30] there's a couple of things that we highlighted for Mr. Minson. So,

[56:33] » yeah. Well, anyway, with the sake of uh moving on and keeping keeping our time

[56:38] scheduled tonight cuz we still have one more meeting we got to get through

[56:40] tonight. So, uh with that being said, uh can I get a motion that we move in

[56:45] camera as per section 91 of the community charter?

[56:49] » Second membership

[56:52] » and we're going to call a 5m minute uh recess. Yeah.
