[0:28] then
[0:40] good evening we're going to call the me
[0:42] in the order the time is 6:
[0:44] PM uh next item on the agenda is the
[0:47] approval of the agenda so the motion
[0:50] reads that the agenda for council
[0:51] meeting of October 7th 2024 be approved
[0:54] as presented mve in second here
[0:57] please Council mccon no I would like
[1:00] something added to the agenda to our in
[1:03] camera
[1:05] session it's a question that I have in
[1:08] regards to something we've discussed in
[1:10] Council
[1:12] previously and I think it would be a
[1:14] clarification based on what I've
[1:17] seen in tonight's agenda as to whether
[1:20] it is still a matter for in camera or
[1:24] not and if I ask it in general it it's a
[1:28] yes or a no it's a quick thing but it
[1:32] would be to everybody's fa to know
[1:37] so coun McConnell do you know what
[1:40] section that close section for what
[1:44] matters I haven't got a clue so it might
[1:48] be something that we are going to
[1:50] discuss tonight in which case I
[1:55] don't okay I know it's it's a it's an
[1:58] unusual thing but
[2:00] I would have never asked it if I hadn't
[2:02] seen something in tonight's that makes
[2:05] me wonder whether it's still in camera
[2:07] or not we should
[2:10] know okay fine you can add like
[2:14] a I just I just
[2:18] find meetings that it could fall so I
[2:22] can get
[2:26] clarification uh purchase and sale or
[2:30] identifiable
[2:31] individual purchase and
[2:35] sale I I should mention that yeah that
[2:39] helps so okay as amended then we'll um
[2:43] can I have a move in second or for
[2:45] Council McConnell Council Kirkby all in
[2:47] favor Carri thank
[2:50] you duration of Interest
[2:53] tonight being none we'll move
[2:55] on no presentations tonight but we do
[2:58] have a delegation tonight from the
[3:00] Sunday Night concert series and the St
[3:02] Lawrence shakes profess Valerie
[3:05] Schultz floor is
[3:11] yours what do you
[3:13] think I'm here representing the Sunday
[3:16] Night concerts we are not asking for
[3:18] money but for your help for those of you
[3:21] that might have attended our concerts
[3:23] you will notice that our numbers are
[3:25] increasing for instance when Eddie and
[3:26] the sting race performed we had over 500
[3:29] people
[3:30] that is encountering the people that
[3:31] would KN it in and were sitting
[3:33] outside the Avery flight is between 250
[3:37] and
[3:38] 350s our big concern is if we have to go
[3:42] in the arena because of rain this summer
[3:45] we had to go in twice and the second
[3:47] time we lost money we did not bring in
[3:49] enough to pay the performer the arena is
[3:52] a great venue it's only something could
[3:54] be done about the acoustic with it
[3:57] Su we have already had one of our
[4:00] entertainers come up and say if I have
[4:01] to go in the arena I am
[4:04] canceling what we would like the town to
[4:07] do is number one give us a portable
[4:09] stage that we can put up at a moment's
[4:12] notice because we usually only have a
[4:14] couple of hours between the time we make
[4:17] the decision and letting the town
[4:19] know when we ask whoever is on duty and
[4:22] ask to have the stage put up they say
[4:24] they cannot do it because they need more
[4:26] man pound if it is a portable stage it's
[4:29] e a lot
[4:31] easier however the main thing is making
[4:33] the Acoustics better we have spoken to
[4:36] Randy oia La who as you know played in
[4:39] The Arena New Year's Eve and for the
[4:41] fire
[4:43] student he suggested two things that
[4:46] could improve the
[4:47] acoustic first sound bounces off the
[4:50] glass panels either remove them there
[4:54] was no hockey plan anymore in the arena
[4:56] or put a curtain up also he suggested
[4:59] the stage be at the North End facing
[5:02] south and curtains we've been put out
[5:04] between East and West I've made a
[5:06] diagram which I'll show you
[5:09] later next summer we have engaged
[5:12] another band which is as popular as the
[5:14] sing race called Ambush and if they have
[5:17] to go in the arena I don't think they
[5:19] will want to come back as the fact we
[5:21] won't make enough money to cover their
[5:23] cost nothing is cheap these
[5:26] days bill and I watch the radio from the
[5:29] radio from the minute we get up in the
[5:31] morning and we're watching the storms go
[5:33] through and believe you
[5:35] me sometimes where it's really
[5:38] nerve-wracking we have to let the
[5:40] entertainers know or the people know
[5:42] around 4:30 and we also have to let the
[5:44] town know if we want to use the
[5:48] arena that's the bands are not going to
[5:51] risk their equipment being out in the
[5:55] ring and we also have to think of the
[5:58] safety of the audiences if it's a
[6:00] thunderstorm last year we had two bands
[6:03] it did rain in the middle but it only a
[6:05] springle which was fine they continue to
[6:08] play Shakespeare I know would also like
[6:11] to use arena in the case of rain outs
[6:13] but again it all comes down to the
[6:16] acis unfortunately ingry could not be
[6:18] here this evening as they are having a
[6:20] very important board meeting but she
[6:22] asked me to also stress to you the
[6:24] importance of the Acoustics being
[6:26] addressed they would like to use the
[6:28] arena for their out plus their Wednesday
[6:31] afternoon
[6:32] lday another another CL of having them
[6:35] concerts at the arena and shapes to is
[6:38] that there is Apple parking we have a
[6:40] lot of people with on wheelchairs
[6:43] motorized wheelchairs it's easy for them
[6:46] to get into the arena but it wouldn't be
[6:48] easy to get anywhere
[6:51] else so we would appreciate it very much
[6:54] if you consider our request we want
[6:57] Sunday Night concerts to continue this
[6:59] has to be addressed and fixed thank you
[7:02] very
[7:05] much it's
[7:09] very is
[7:15] suggestion questions if anybody has any
[7:19] questions Justin through you mayor
[7:22] Shankar you say there's no charge for
[7:25] the to the people attending the concert
[7:28] is that correct
[7:29] not it's a free
[7:32] will so with donations
[7:36] only the average is
[7:38] $5 some people put 20 in but the average
[7:41] is five some people only put two in but
[7:45] we make enough to cover our costs you
[7:48] make enough to cover your cost as kind
[7:49] of M right now right we have to keep
[7:52] going in the arena they
[7:55] von't the I guess the second part of
[7:58] that question for for me is when you
[8:00] cancel a band do they charge you a fee
[8:02] anyways we've never had to cancel touch
[8:05] okay there you go that answers we have
[8:08] to pay a lot of the Bands require a
[8:10] deposit right and then we pay them the
[8:13] balance after they finish performing yep
[8:16] so if they have to go into the arena and
[8:19] we've already paid them a
[8:22] deposit we Lo
[8:26] money counc lock
[8:31] um is a church out of the question for a
[8:34] rain dat
[8:36] yeah does not what accommodate people
[8:39] plus the sets going up I know they have
[8:41] an elevator but 500 people going in
[8:45] wouldn't have okay and not only that the
[8:48] performance they love the Ampitheater
[8:51] know they really love it down
[8:53] there like wean sting R this year it was
[8:56] touch and
[8:58] go and Lily the sky is cleared and they
[9:02] were able
[9:05] to Campbell after you Shankar um Valerie
[9:10] um besides Eddie and the string rays
[9:13] what kind of attendance are you getting
[9:16] we had 530 people oh besides them like
[9:20] on a on a reg not a
[9:24] regular sorry my voice um what's your
[9:28] average attendance with these really
[9:30] around 300 300
[9:33] okay yeah the most attendance we had
[9:36] this year was when we went in the arena
[9:37] with Marlin forcet that was terrible and
[9:41] the Acoustics were terrible yeah I'm
[9:43] just trying to think if there's
[9:45] another venue just for Eddie and the
[9:48] Stingrays you know you're going to get
[9:49] so many people and whether it's raining
[9:51] or not just planet for there and there
[9:55] isn't anywhere El I wish there was
[10:01] yeah I'm thinking we have another Arena
[10:03] but I don't know what scheduling well
[10:06] but the new arena is is great but you
[10:09] start putting the ice in there in August
[10:11] we don't finish until the end of
[10:14] August right just thinking out
[10:17] loud and the other hard part is it's
[10:20] it's so weather dependent right like we
[10:22] could go the next three years and you
[10:24] never go into the arena I know like last
[10:27] year we only had to go in once
[10:29] but uh you never know and the weather's

[14:37] Shanker um I attended a cemetery board
[14:40] meeting a week ago and we just discussed
[14:45] a couple of things there's some trees
[14:47] that large trees that needed to be
[14:50] removed and um we were given permission
[14:56] by the ass board to have that done it
[14:59] was a matter of about
[15:00] $2,600 I think and they were back there
[15:03] doing that today I was back and had a
[15:06] look they were doing a nice job very
[15:08] careful Around The Monuments and that's
[15:11] the why they're been removed because
[15:14] they were danger to The Monuments if
[15:16] they had
[15:18] fallen um as well I was at the cemetery
[15:21] this morning we had a permission from
[15:23] the
[15:24] board to start spending money the
[15:27] anticipation is we're going going to do
[15:29] this every year for uh repair of
[15:34] monuments we have many many dozens of
[15:38] monuments in the Sandy Hill Cemetery
[15:41] that have been damaged over the years
[15:45] that are in danger of falling over um
[15:49] that are laying flat it's disrespectful
[15:53] to the people that came before us in
[15:56] this community and the cemetery board is
[15:58] of the the feeling that is time we
[16:00] started bringing these monuments back to
[16:04] a suitable condition so um we are doing
[16:08] a program starting hopefully Thursday
[16:12] where we will be fixing some of these
[16:14] monuments uh we're going to take a look
[16:16] at that see how the repairs go and based
[16:20] on that do a larger uh repair next year
[16:25] so I'm looking forward to see how that

[22:22] staff reports we have a few of them
[22:24] tonight the first one is item 73
[22:29] -224 Community risk assessment from our
[22:32] fire
[22:33] Rainer recommendation reads that Council
[22:36] approve the community risk assessment
[22:37] for the town of Prescott in accordance
[22:39] with regulation
[22:43] 37818 can mover and secondary for
[22:45] discussion councelor Briton councelor uh
[22:49] blet Chief floor is yours thank you
[22:53] worship so in front of you is the staff
[22:56] report and then the attachment is the
[22:58] actual document which is 40 PS long so I
[23:01] won't spend that much time going over
[23:03] that but um basically what we've done is
[23:07] a community risk assessment uh
[23:10] identifies analyze and evaluates
[23:13] prioritize risk to the the public and
[23:16] and the community so we use uh data from
[23:21] the Census we use uh information from
[23:24] The Mont Fire Marshals uh document that
[23:26] we send uh to them uh based on those
[23:30] risks and type of calls so when we have
[23:33] uh nine profiles here so these were the
[23:36] work sheets that we used to get this
[23:38] document so that was everything from
[23:41] geographical uh building stock critical
[23:44] infrastructure uh demographic
[23:47] profile Hazard profile public fire
[23:51] safety uh economic profile and then loss
[23:55] and events of History so some of these
[23:58] documents are already in our uh
[24:01] emergency plan for example Hazard
[24:04] profile and the critical infrastructure
[24:06] so there's some meat and potatoes in the
[24:08] document where they are now so what
[24:10] we've done is used these other
[24:12] worksheets to to f fill all of those
[24:15] areas we take all of that and then we
[24:18] use uh risk based on likelihood or risk
[24:23] of potential risks so the consequences
[24:26] so there's an actual uh
[24:29] map there a chart sorry so you can see
[24:32] in some of them there's green areas
[24:34] yellow areas red areas so the red areas
[24:37] obviously are higher risk so what do we
[24:39] do to mitigate that that could be
[24:43] uh pre-planning inspections uh training
[24:48] uh working with uh neighbors to assist
[24:50] us at a call with required uh going out
[24:53] to the industries the buildings uh just
[24:57] in in town
[24:58] is what we do so we look at all those
[25:00] areas and what you have in front of you
[25:03] is that document at the end uh you will
[25:05] find that there's a lot of stats out of
[25:08] that uh the census doc document for us
[25:12] uh it Tak quite a long time to get
[25:15] all together uh but at the end of the
[25:18] day there really wasn't a lot there with
[25:21] this community risk assessment a lot of
[25:23] it is is what we see out in the public
[25:27] uh and then the the stats we Ed from the
[25:29] fire Marshall's office and as you can
[25:31] see at the bottom of that document I
[25:33] guess the last few pages there's dreams
[25:36] of uh documentation from the fire
[25:38] Marshall's office that just adds up to
[25:41] at the end of the day it tells you uh
[25:43] the dollar LW for whether it's structure
[25:47] whether it's uh vehicles uh and then
[25:49] other type of calls we have I think the
[25:51] most uh important document there of of
[25:55] the Fire Marshals uh documentation is
[25:58] the first pie chart so for example it
[26:01] says I think it's 29.4% of all calls we
[26:04] get are medical calls you know I think
[26:07] it's 22 23% are false alarm calls but
[26:12] false alarm calls go in another category
[26:14] as well right there's sometimes uh
[26:16] people are doing testing they'll call
[26:19] the alarm company uh versus could be a
[26:22] Mr Mrs Smith call where they think
[26:24] there's an issue but it's proceed
[26:27] emergency um but we still when we roll
[26:30] out the door we don't know that right we
[26:33] go get a page and we go off to a call an
[26:36] emergency call we don't know that till
[26:38] after so that's where you see all of
[26:40] those documentation numbers after and
[26:43] the percentages there are so the reason
[26:46] why I have all of that in front of you
[26:48] is to say it's it's a very uh unique
[26:51] document uh we will uh P it you will see
[26:55] that there are annual years uh each year
[26:59] moving forward where if we find
[27:01] something that we want to change because
[27:03] it's a living document we will do that
[27:05] and then every five years we do the
[27:08] whole thing over again so new census
[27:10] information and and whatnot um but as
[27:13] you can see as I said a lot of stats uh
[27:17] in front of you um be more than happy to
[27:20] answer any questions you may
[27:23] have I just thought maybe if you can't
[27:25] have a easy way of sleeping tonight that
[27:28] again you'll be
[27:30] [Laughter]
[27:32] good any questions for the
[27:34] Chief look Mar thank you may Shankar
[27:39] just um this was great it's eye opening
[27:42] and for me I really looked at the
[27:43] business and personal service mertile
[27:47] and the lack of fire extinguishers and
[27:49] not only that but the lack of training
[27:51] so I see a great opportunity for the Bia
[27:54] to give you guys a call and say hey
[27:56] let's set something up for the
[27:57] businesses
[27:58] because I know even in our business
[28:00] we're an insurance business but we still
[28:01] have a kitchen right and we still have
[28:03] other things so I think that would be
[28:05] great in the future if we could maybe
[28:07] collaborate with the Bia I think it's a
[28:11] perfect opportunity so for example on
[28:13] the open house we have coming up next
[28:15] Saturday we'll have a tutor there and a
[28:17] tutor is just a way of using uh fire
[28:21] extinguisher to put out a pretend fire
[28:23] uh and a lot of time the parents bring
[28:25] their kids and stuff but if it's the
[28:28] it's we have it right so it's something
[28:30] we could work with you right even if we
[28:33] had at the fire hall right and find a
[28:36] day where you could bring uh the Bia and
[28:39] we can figure that out because it's uh
[28:42] it's amazing I mean I have fire exites
[28:45] in my house hope I never use them but
[28:46] the average person buy them it's great
[28:49] that they have them but would not know
[28:51] how to use right so yeah we definitely
[28:54] thank
[28:55] you very good anyone else have a
[28:59] question Council m i can speaking from
[29:01] experience as you well know that a fire
[29:03] extinguisher in your house comes in very
[29:06] handy and you should know how to use it
[29:08] and the difference between one for the
[29:11] kitchen and one for your couch in the
[29:15] recck room or something like that yeah
[29:18] my my microwave caught fires as I think
[29:21] I mentioned about a year
[29:25] ago yeah you were lucky you're looking
[29:29] and quickly just I wanted to also
[29:31] mention that there is a typle on table
[29:34] of contents uh it's a formatting issue I
[29:37] it looks great when you look at it but
[29:39] when I print it off it comes up uh and
[29:42] there was two areas as well uh because
[29:45] this document started in
[29:48] 221 to to finish so there's a couple of
[29:51] uh types in there uh I added the ACCC
[29:55] for Community Center uh and then we had
[29:59] uh a building uh listed as a possible uh
[30:03] occupant for departments as wiser I
[30:06] removed that at this point in time so
[30:08] you will see that but I finally saw that
[30:11] was needed to be taken out so rookie was
[30:15] safe it's a lot of work here Chief you
[30:18] did a great job and it's a good document
[30:20] it's a almost like a living document
[30:21] that we can have that we can always
[30:23] refer to and update and change each year
[30:26] yes yeah there's a lot of stats in there
[30:28] the one stat I noticed was there's more
[30:31] more people over the age of 85 than
[30:33] there are kids under the age of four so
[30:37] that's kind of interesting but I
[30:38] remember that from the Census before as
[30:41] well thank you sir uh no other questions
[30:44] I'm going to call the question all in
[30:47] favor Carri thank

[33:25] also online on the website

[33:31] questions thank you missam any questions
[33:33] from miss
[33:35] mcam counc you mayor
[33:37] Shanker I thought about this question
[33:39] later and I think you just touched on it
[33:42] so right now we're just this is the
[33:45] draft and going to collect information
[33:47] from fellow counselors or questions and
[33:49] bring it forward to them first meeting
[33:52] is that correct yeah through you shank
[33:54] if there's discussion on the table we
[33:55] can incorporate it based on discussion
[33:57] this evening
[33:58] afterward you can send an email we can
[34:00] incorporate that as
[34:07] well
[34:10] questions um I'm reading through this
[34:12] I'm just a
[34:13] little just bit unclear to
[34:17] me are the individual department
[34:21] heads the final say as far as
[34:26] um result a complaint irregardless of
[34:31] whether it comes from staff
[34:39] or that I I couldn't I've got gone
[34:44] through this about three times and it's
[34:46] it's you can it different ways it
[34:49] waffles a little bit I think that needs
[34:51] to
[34:52] be firmed up B
[34:58] [Music]
[35:00] I believe our discussions we felt that
[35:01] it would it would
[35:11] be public or anybody can to uh if you
[35:15] feel it's not clear though let let me
[35:18] know how we can tighten that up to make
[35:20] to provide that
[35:22] Clarity but as of right now
[35:34] because they do more than then it's the
[35:37] obvious stuff that they do around town
[35:40] if uh somebody's complaining about a
[35:42] flower bed will say um then the actual
[35:47] head of the public works
[35:50] department right now we don't have one I
[35:52] don't think um and Nathan left this this
[35:57] week
[35:58] uh that department head would look after
[36:00] the
[36:01] complaint and if the complaintant was
[36:04] not satisfied with the solution that was
[36:08] offered you're saying that it it goes to
[36:11] the utsman from there for you so that
[36:14] that's an option if they feel like the
[36:16] result isn't what they want for
[36:18] something like a flower bit though I
[36:20] think the policy outlines an informal
[36:23] and a formal complaint so it's the first
[36:24] time you complain as a FL but it's not
[36:26] readed that makes sense to rise the
[36:28] director of operations so then make sure
[36:30] that staff go up and clean up the flower
[36:31] but if it's repeatedly requested over
[36:34] and over again then it becomes a formal
[36:36] complaint and there's more of an
[36:37] investigation so then we look into it
[36:40] and then the the result is to deal with
[36:44] it internally so there's there's not
[36:48] really an appeal
[36:51] process but it would be the expectation
[36:53] per head would be able to resolve that
[36:56] issue okay okay well um
[36:59] I've there was something else came
[37:02] before Council a while ago and I made
[37:03] the same comment and I'm going to make
[37:05] the same comment about this one I can't
[37:08] support something that does not give our
[37:12] Town's people the
[37:14] option of as a final Resort before going
[37:19] to the
[37:20] utsman to appealing directly for or to
[37:24] council we're elected by the people in
[37:26] the community they expect us to provide
[37:28] good government we do the best that we
[37:30] can but when there is a complaint if
[37:34] they're not satisfied with how the
[37:36] complaint is
[37:37] handled I believe they should have the
[37:42] ability to launch a final appeal to
[37:46] this
[37:48] group before they have to go through a
[37:50] whole bunch of work which could take God
[37:53] only knows how long and take it out of
[37:55] this community to the
[37:58] udman so uh
[38:01] personally I can't
[38:05] support anything of this ilk if it did
[38:09] not contain that
[38:11] option thank
[38:15] you one
[38:18] second in in preparation for this I
[38:22] don't mind if we talked about it is that
[38:26] Avenue used by any
[38:29] municipalities so through you for this
[38:32] policy I believe we quite a bit at
[38:37] Northville stor North stor Stormont um
[38:42] none of the ones that we looked at had
[38:44] cancel as the final
[38:47] appeal it's always up to
[38:52] cancel I just don't want to turn Council
[38:55] into hearing complaints all day long or
[38:59] are appealed
[39:00] complaints I don't want that to happen
[39:03] and by you know in all respect if you
[39:06] want to put that
[39:08] in you know we have
[39:10] to we have to trust our staff to do to
[39:13] make the right
[39:16] call you understand what I'm
[39:19] saying yeah uh I do understand what
[39:22] you're saying I don't agree with it
[39:25] though I believe as I said that we are
[39:29] elected not staff we represent the
[39:33] people in the
[39:34] community staff represents us but if the
[39:39] people who are in the community have a
[39:42] complaint and I use a flower bed as a
[39:44] very poor example and I will admit it
[39:48] but um if somebody in the community does
[39:51] have a complaint I believe that they
[39:54] should have the ability to complain to
[39:56] council as the final result because you
[39:58] know darn well they're going to complain
[40:00] to all of us individually or out when
[40:03] you're walking your dog
[40:06] anyway and then we really can't respond
[40:09] to it in an individual way it's it's
[40:12] it's not within our power to do so and
[40:14] we shouldn't so bringing it before
[40:19] Council for a decision I believe it's
[40:21] the proper way to do it the fact that
[40:24] nobody else does it doesn't really
[40:25] matter it's not going to change my
[40:28] opinion on it so that is um that's the
[40:32] way I feel about it thank you anyone
[40:35] else oh sorry yes um a couple things I
[40:39] know we went over most of this but I'm
[40:41] just trying to clarify again so under
[40:43] the complaints it's saying that um it
[40:46] needs to be submitted in writing we're
[40:48] considering email writing correct okay
[40:51] and then under the formal um complaint
[40:54] process it says um
[40:58] it's going to be uh acknowledged in five
[41:01] days is
[41:02] um acknowledged and uh receipt of does
[41:06] that mean we're just documenting it but
[41:08] we're not letting them know like are we
[41:10] letting the complaint person know within
[41:12] five days that we received it and we're
[41:14] looking into it or whatever so sh when
[41:18] the form comes to whether it's handed in
[41:19] in person or online it comes directly to
[41:21] K myself we review it assess it figure
[41:25] what to send it through to
[41:31] then then they know where it's going and
[41:33] then they also have that
[41:38] first K through you mayor Shanker I kind
[41:44] of agree with councelor McConnell but
[41:46] not on every complaint I mean there
[41:48] seems there almost needs to be like a
[41:51] threshold of where Council would be
[41:54] aware one for me is the unreasonable
[41:57] Behavior right that there I feel like
[42:01] should come to council or some kind of
[42:03] information on that decision that maybe
[42:06] you know we're going to trespass
[42:08] somebody or something like that that for
[42:11] me is kind of one or something where
[42:16] staff really isn't sure on what the next
[42:20] direction is you know they may feel that
[42:23] you know there is a bit of uh legitimacy
[42:27] to the complaint but there's also you
[42:29] know a side of it that's not you know I
[42:32] don't think Council we want to be like
[42:34] you said bogged down with every
[42:35] complaint that comes through staff
[42:37] because staff is here to deal with that
[42:39] but I do feel you know when we get to
[42:41] that upper level of complaints that
[42:45] Council should have some vision and
[42:47] maybe even possibly some say on the
[42:50] final decision of that matter and I
[42:53] guess the the last question I'm sure
[42:55] that was actually called in the the
[42:58] handling you know for some of the staff
[43:00] because we do have staff that has family
[43:03] right connections I'm sure that would be
[43:05] dealt with separately I.E if one of your
[43:10] sons worked here and you were the
[43:12] department head you're not going to
[43:14] resolve that issue right that's going to
[43:15] be moved to a conflict of interest and
[43:18] moved to another department head is that
[43:20] correct and should that be called out in
[43:21] this document as far as the conflict of
[43:25] interest
[43:29] I mean it's something we can take into
[43:31] consideration right like if it is a
[43:33] conflict of interest well I don't think
[43:35] honestly for myself comforable with any
[43:37] family member making a decision on
[43:40] another family
[43:42] member as a councel okay Deputy clerk
[43:47] sorry cler
[43:48] sorry we're kind of getting into like an
[43:51] matter at that point which would be
[43:52] addressed when the person's on board and
[43:54] hired they're not going to be reporting
[43:56] to a family member we have certain
[43:57] policies in place that kind of govern
[44:00] that I don't see that kind of falling
[44:02] under the compl policy as an HR matter
[44:07] uh the COO and other department have
[44:10] would be definitely be involved in doing
[44:12] that so Ral
[44:14] conflict through you mayor Shanker but
[44:17] we do have current staff that reports to
[44:20] family doing not
[44:28] right I just yeah I mean that's that's
[44:31] something we can do I mean you know
[44:33] there something we can put in here in
[44:34] event of a conflict a different
[44:36] department head absolutely that's all
[44:38] I'm looking for there that's an
[44:41] easy councilor Camp uh Shankar um so in
[44:47] the definitions it says complaint what
[44:50] it is informal complaint shall made a
[44:53] complaint communicated informally to
[44:55] Municipal staff or
[44:57] specific
[44:59] department and then a formal complaint
[45:02] it's submitted on this tracking form so
[45:05] would the the process start with someone
[45:08] being able to say their informal
[45:11] complaint and if that's not dealt with
[45:13] properly they would go to the form
[45:18] thenal would
[45:20] be call said calling in and saying that
[45:22] Garden is not weed take that as being an
[45:25] inform formal complaint or um there's a
[45:27] pole outside my house that needs to be
[45:30] filled inal point if it's
[45:32] so you know it's been recorded three or
[45:35] four times and the individual doesn't
[45:37] feel like it's being resolved then we
[45:39] would recommend a formal complaint and
[45:41] it is put on the form and then there's
[45:43] more of a process
[45:44] involved just to put out there we we've
[45:47] never really had anything really rise to
[45:49] that we staff are quite good to deal
[45:52] with our complaint informally um but it
[45:55] is good practice pass
[45:58] just in Cas oh I'm not not quite
[46:01] done um so it says in this document that
[46:05] all complainants will be treated with
[46:08] respect and will not receive adverse
[46:10] treatment or any form of reprisal so if
[46:14] we're going to be saying that then we
[46:17] need to be meaning that it's just I
[46:24] ready Ela
[46:29] I first of all
[46:32] um we have enough complaints that we
[46:35] hear on a regular basis as
[46:37] Council um we we weren't
[46:42] elected to be a complaint
[46:46] board around this table we were elected
[46:49] to make policies and
[46:51] procedures um and help our town grow
[46:57] and we have enough on our plate
[47:02] that you know I don't want 15 people
[47:05] showing up here one night and we're here
[47:07] until
[47:09] midnight um our staff is quite qualified
[47:13] to
[47:13] handle all of our
[47:16] complaints will they inform us
[47:18] absolutely when we need to be informed
[47:22] we don't need to know that there's a
[47:23] pole that hasn't been filled in two
[47:25] weeks right
[47:27] our staff is quite qualified to handle
[47:32] all of our
[47:33] complaints thank you thank you Council
[47:38] bton thank you mayor Shanker I just
[47:40] wanted to uh comment on a couple things
[47:43] that you said and Justin said over there
[47:46] and
[47:48] actually coun Burton touched on it as
[47:51] well
[47:53] um in the time that I've been here which
[47:57] I know a couple of you hate me to say
[48:00] but staff has been well able to look
[48:04] after the complaints that have come our
[48:06] way well aable we are not and we would
[48:10] never be a wash in complaints here these
[48:15] are the very odd exceptions that might
[48:19] rise to a
[48:21] council a couple of times during a term
[48:24] in my expectations
[48:27] and as to counselor Burton's comments
[48:30] about being here all night we used to
[48:34] meet four times a month we meet two now
[48:38] we're not short of time to be meeting so
[48:43] um being a washing complaints it's just
[48:46] not going to happen our staff is quite
[48:47] capable of handing the vast majority
[48:51] this would be an
[48:54] extremely unusual situation where it
[48:57] would come to Council in
[48:59] my experience thank you thank
[49:05] you all right seeing no further comments
[49:09] we're
[49:11] gonna I'll just reread the
[49:14] recommendation we receive the draft
[49:16] Municipal complaint policy and that
[49:18] staff be directed to bring the municipal
[49:19] complaint policy as outlined in the
[49:21] report to the council meeting of October
[49:23] 21st for final review and consideration
[49:26] all in
[49:29] favor
[49:32] V It's the final thing that as a slow
[49:36] still discuss it though
[49:38] yeah favor no favor okay you got it Gary
[49:43] thank
[49:44] you
[49:50] okay item 123 is Staff report 75- 2024

[49:57] from our director of men and clerk
[49:59] Lindsay
[50:01] Vamp Community Services semantha Jan
[50:05] Miller and Deputy clerk Caitlyn mallerie

[50:12] policy and that
[50:14] St be directed to bring the municipal
[50:17] asset naming policy as outline FL the
[50:21] council meeting of October 21st for

[50:28] Burton counc
[50:31] Kirkby got this one thank
[50:34] you following discussions of upcoming
[50:37] meeting commities I felt it was a good
[50:40] time to bring forward any Poli C Council
[50:42] to help guide coun staff with a fair and
[50:45] consistent process for ning any assets
[50:48] SCH assets that may come up as I st
[50:50] previously the policy working the group
[50:52] consisting of mar sh care counselors
[50:53] kiry and M met on October 2nd and they
[50:56] also reviewed this draft report um so
[50:59] the policy would provide the
[51:01] establishment of naming Reserve list
[51:03] this would be a place to uh keep all
[51:07] names that are that are brought forward
[51:09] during naming opportunities living
[51:11] document that as BL commes arve we TR to
[51:14] councel to take
[51:16] from um it would set the procedure for
[51:18] gaining Municipal facilities and as well
[51:21] it provides clear guidance to council
[51:23] staff and the public for naming of
[51:24] facilities of the town of Prescott
[51:27] and the form which is attached to the
[51:28] report uh would only be made available
[51:30] when Council decides there are naming
[51:32] opportunities
[51:33] foral
[51:36] assets the policy outlines naming
[51:39] criteria for the assets it explains
[51:42] what's considered an asset and touches
[51:43] upon the renaming of
[51:46] asset as I said previously the naming
[51:48] reserved list would track all submitted
[51:50] suggestions um that meet the listed
[51:52] criteria that are in the policy and
[51:55] meing opport are to be identified by
[51:57] Council and on naming anding of
[51:59] Municipal assets are to be approved by
[52:02] Council um it is suggested that this
[52:04] policy be reviewed once per term of
[52:06] cancel so it'll come back the next time
[52:09] and attached to the report is the policy
[52:11] including the draft form
[52:13] which available will be available online
[52:16] to submit electronically and can be
[52:17] printed out and hanged out in hard copy
[52:21] and as a recommendation read the policy
[52:24] will come back to counc final
[52:25] consideration next
[52:31] thank you m
[52:33] famp questions for her counc kir he you
[52:36] Mar Shanker uh the only one that I kind
[52:39] of disagreed with was waiting till the
[52:43] person's deceased and I kind of get the
[52:45] idea of why that was recommended but at
[52:48] the same time you know if councelor
[52:51] McConnell is 99 years old and we decide
[52:55] to name a Street or building after him I
[52:58] don't think we have to wait till he's
[53:01] deceased do you know what I mean I just
[53:03] feel like that might it
[53:06] might you know I think uh the deceased
[53:10] part I know why it's there but I feel
[53:12] like if we ever had to go back and
[53:14] change something then we would change it
[53:18] uh but I just feel like you know when we
[53:20] named the Leo boan Community Center he
[53:23] was still alive the elae chartran
[53:26] that was a little bit different uh but I
[53:29] just feel like waiting till somebody's
[53:32] deceased is kind doesn't give them that
[53:36] moment of Celebration to acknowledge the
[53:38] work or the impact they've had on the
[53:40] community so that's that's the only one
[53:43] kind of for me
[53:44] that's is that under prominent citizens
[53:48] being relased or both and Council right
[53:52] it could be I think it's I know it's
[53:55] only called out for them to here but it
[53:58] could be really applied if you thought
[54:00] about it could be applied to anybody in
[54:03] theory right I mean you could take
[54:06] a a monetary donation and name something
[54:10] after somebody and then 10 years from
[54:12] now that person could be in the negative
[54:16] Spotlight and you would want to rename
[54:17] it because of that also right so just
[54:21] kind of you know if that's what we're
[54:22] worried
[54:24] about then maybe you know we don't name
[54:28] anything after people if we really want
[54:29] to be
[54:32] safe Council Burton thank you I just
[54:35] want to know what the the train of
[54:37] thought about the former elected members
[54:40] of council like the deceased same as the
[54:43] kind of on the same uh line as councilor
[54:46] Kirkby was saying what's the train of
[54:48] thought like like why do they have to be
[54:52] deceased
[54:54] and to me I just take right out of there
[54:58] and not
[54:59] name anything after like former elected
[55:03] members of council scratch that whole
[55:05] line yeah I would just scratch that
[55:08] whole line really we do have some past
[55:11] prominent uh Council officials right
[55:15] like Don Don irvan was one that was
[55:17] mentioned a few times a lot for this
[55:20] town right and and Sandra La too yes I
[55:23] mean going back further than that I I
[55:26] don't recollect anyone past
[55:29] Onan even the pictures they're
[55:33] G oh yeah Pat Kingston yes but so I mean
[55:37] we we have done it right yeah I think
[55:39] we're just trying to avoid
[55:42] that Declaration of interest and stuff
[55:45] like that right like we don't want to
[55:46] name it the the Kirk B soccer field or
[55:49] whatever like that right you I think the
[55:54] other the other wor if you name
[55:57] something and then that person commits a
[55:59] crime or something that's kind of the
[56:02] okay you know what I mean yeah that one
[56:06] okay but I I think too in in my in my
[56:09] opinion we're in a modern society now
[56:14] right we want to keep things mod
[56:16] modernized know how am I saying that be
[56:20] modern and to name
[56:24] something like you said Mar Shankar like
[56:26] some of the people up here yes we don't
[56:29] we know a few of them but we don't know
[56:32] 90% of those people up there and we need
[56:34] to move forward and be Forward Thinking
[56:38] people so as a
[56:41] council we'll give give everyone else
[56:44] you're good councelor M first of all I'd
[56:47] like to thank councelor Kirkby for his
[56:49] kind thoughts on my 99 years over there
[56:52] but I'm not as close as some other
[56:54] members of the council
[56:58] understand you're I I agree completely
[57:02] with everything that he said um I don't
[57:05] believe you should have to be dead to be
[57:08] acknowledged and again I don't think
[57:11] we're we've got a lot of people that
[57:13] because I can only think I think of
[57:15] three things that we've named since s
[57:18] years so it's not doesn't happen often
[57:21] and I know when we name those things
[57:24] they picked around there was a lot of
[57:27] thought went into it
[57:29] and but I don't think you have to be you
[57:32] shouldn't have to be
[57:36] G it's nice if you're here and you can
[57:38] be acknowledged I think what we're
[57:40] trying to do here is just you know make
[57:42] up some rules and stuff like that so
[57:45] it's a little easier to pick a name I
[57:47] think going forward if we have to name
[57:51] something I can see us being here till
[57:53] midnight on that night you know
[57:57] one of those things you never know but
[57:59] we can have a policy that we put
[58:01] together whether they're deceased or not
[58:03] we can we can vote on that or we can
[58:06] talk about that some more but we you
[58:09] know we still have two weeks between our
[58:10] next meeting we have any ideas or
[58:13] suggestions I would emphasize that we
[58:16] send it in Miss famp so she
[58:19] knows anyone else oh sorry you're back
[58:22] to you so three shank last one and I
[58:26] know I mentioned this in the working
[58:28] group and I think the reason why I
[58:30] requested the deceased going is because
[58:32] I'd like that to be removed but I'd also
[58:34] like to add I know staff won't be
[58:36] comfortable with this but the inclusion
[58:39] of staff that could possibly have
[58:44] something named after them and it could
[58:46] be you know I just think if we don't
[58:49] call it out in here it could never
[58:50] happen right and I know staff doesn't
[58:54] want that but I think if Council decided
[58:57] to recognize a staff
[58:59] member in a naming policy then so be it
[59:04] as long as they're alive they can say
[59:05] yes or
[59:07] no maybe they shouldn't be working at
[59:09] down at that time
[59:11] but anyway thank
[59:14] you just a quick one it does say and I
[59:18] think I miss this to be be honest with
[59:20] you uh it does say including but not
[59:24] limited to
[59:27] which certainly would include Town staff
[59:29] or
[59:32] anybody
[59:35] really not to catch all phrase right so
[59:39] yeah the only problem with lists is
[59:42] they're they're they're they're not
[59:45] infinite right they could could just
[59:47] have they could be changed in the next
[59:49] term okay anyone
[59:52] else so I'm going to call the question
[59:54] then all in favor
[59:57] cared thank
[1:00:00] you
[1:00:03] okay item 124 is Staff report
[1:00:08] 76202 Community emergency preparedness
[1:00:11] Grant 2024 25 intake uh this report is
[1:00:16] from our Treasurer and CAO Matthew
[1:00:18] Armstrong the recommendation read that
[1:00:21] Council direct staff to submit an
[1:00:22] application for the community emergency
[1:00:24] preparedness Grant
[1:00:26] 2024 25 intake in the amount of $50,000
[1:00:29] as outlined in staff report
[1:00:32] 76-
[1:00:34] 2024 mover and secondary for discussion
[1:00:37] is councelor lock councelor McConnell
[1:00:39] Matthew the floor is
[1:00:42] yours so this is probably reminiscent of
[1:00:46] a previous report that we brought last
[1:00:48] year and in
[1:00:50] 2324 the first intake of of this
[1:00:53] particular Grant there were 113
[1:00:55] applications
[1:00:56] approved as part of that initial intake
[1:00:58] and now they're opening up again for
[1:01:01] another intake and I believe there's one
[1:01:02] more intake for 2526 that will come out
[1:01:05] next year so going through uh really
[1:01:08] it's to help communities be prepared for
[1:01:11] emergencies and what we identified in
[1:01:14] last year is outfitting the Leo
[1:01:16] Community uh Community Center as a
[1:01:19] emergency shelter so that includes uh
[1:01:22] preparing it so that it can accept
[1:01:25] mobile generator uh to be able to uh run
[1:01:28] if the there is no electricity and then
[1:01:32] also outfitting it with uh cops blankets
[1:01:35] ory supplies on hand so that uh in the
[1:01:38] event that we have to evacuate a certain
[1:01:40] number of people or a certain portion of
[1:01:42] town that we be able to uh take them
[1:01:45] right the community center so U really
[1:01:49] that's what it's based on again uh the
[1:01:51] one thing that we did remove is just the
[1:01:52] basic training uh we have budget for
[1:01:54] that in the oper AAL budget and so
[1:01:57] really it's just focusing on creating
[1:02:00] that uh preparedness for the venue to be
[1:02:02] used as an emergency evacuation Center
[1:02:06] um nothing more than that really no
[1:02:09] other changes um and it's just seeking
[1:02:12] to uh submit that Grant under the
[1:02:16] same kind of context once again yes
[1:02:19] remember that questions from Mr
[1:02:21] Armstrong councelor Campbell you mayor
[1:02:24] Shanker I'm just curious to know if they
[1:02:27] told you why at all that we didn't get
[1:02:30] it they did not um other than that there
[1:02:33] was a lot of applications and uh they
[1:02:37] did not offer any response in terms of
[1:02:40] uh information we did go through um a
[1:02:43] number of the other to see what was
[1:02:45] supported and what wasn't um this seemed
[1:02:48] to fit well within it but at the same
[1:02:50] time um we understand that there's only
[1:02:53] a limited I believe it's $5 million a
[1:02:55] year uh that is going through the Grant
[1:02:57] and there's over 400 municipalities so
[1:03:01] yeah I just wonder if it would be a good
[1:03:04] idea to add something a little different
[1:03:06] in case they just thought well we're not
[1:03:08] going to fund that that's that's not a
[1:03:10] good idea I don't know if we could add
[1:03:13] anything a little bit different or just
[1:03:15] try again so my suggestion is try again
[1:03:19] if it doesn't work then uh certainly
[1:03:22] taking a look at what they funded this
[1:03:24] time and then going through that to
[1:03:26] determine um if there's something more
[1:03:28] or different that we should apply for in
[1:03:30] the the third round okay thank thank
[1:03:34] you through you m Shanker Matthew could
[1:03:38] uh I'm thinking of an ice storm so you
[1:03:41] got the generator there is the Leo Bo
[1:03:43] Community Center in a position to be
[1:03:46] used in the winter to create heat enough
[1:03:49] heat to House people if there was an ice
[1:03:51] storm yeah so there's the stand heaters
[1:03:55] that that are there and and pickle balls
[1:03:58] play through to Wi currently um really
[1:04:01] one of the things that we would do and I
[1:04:03] can't remember who did or not last year
[1:04:05] but actually just turn the heat shields
[1:04:07] away from he stands into the center so
[1:04:10] that's one way that able to do that also
[1:04:13] bringing in large industrial heaters uh
[1:04:15] would be able to to do that as well and
[1:04:18] then one more question if you don't mind
[1:04:20] through you Mar Shankar Matthew let's
[1:04:22] say there's a forest fire up north and
[1:04:24] we take
[1:04:26] residents from the north into the Leo
[1:04:28] boan Community Center is there
[1:04:31] compensation provided to the town for
[1:04:35] each resident that's brought into the
[1:04:37] Leo boen Community Center generally yes
[1:04:40] and so once in a while depending on the
[1:04:43] the rate of forest fires in the the
[1:04:45] northern part of the province um they
[1:04:47] will put out a Clea for asking
[1:04:49] municipalities to uh to volunteer for
[1:04:53] that and there is a reimbursement
[1:04:55] process uh that that's attached to that
[1:04:58] uh we haven't had it in the last two
[1:05:00] years um what they have done is equipped
[1:05:03] some of the larger more Northern
[1:05:06] municipalities with uh with equipment to
[1:05:08] be able to support those and so now they
[1:05:11] have a certain base to be able to work
[1:05:13] with but if they go beyond that then
[1:05:15] they ask for a general uh support from
[1:05:18] from all
[1:05:20] municipalities because I could imagine
[1:05:22] there would be some cost to housing IE
[1:05:24] food water
[1:05:26] right that the town would have to if
[1:05:28] it's outside of town then then
[1:05:30] absolutely when we're supporting those
[1:05:32] Norman communities then it's certainly
[1:05:34] they reimburse if it's for doing an
[1:05:37] emergency within the the town borders
[1:05:39] then then certainly a
[1:05:41] first amount that's equivalent to 3% of
[1:05:45] your property tax intake is adored by
[1:05:47] the town and then amounts after that uh
[1:05:51] is supported by the
[1:05:54] profits last one okay uh and then as far
[1:05:58] as the accessible uh washroom I know
[1:06:01] that we had talked about transferring
[1:06:03] the old first aid room down there to be
[1:06:07] accessible are is that in process or
[1:06:11] would this money could maybe be used I
[1:06:14] don't think we could use it necessarily
[1:06:15] for that we do
[1:06:17] have an idea that we' like to bring
[1:06:19] forward to council at the next meeting
[1:06:21] there is uh Recreation funding for
[1:06:23] rehabilitation of sites and we have a
[1:06:25] few ideas of what we could uh do at the
[1:06:28] real board Community Center and one of
[1:06:30] those is our biggest issue is that the
[1:06:34] uh waste pipe is much deeper under the
[1:06:36] concrete than we thought it was going to
[1:06:37] be so uh that our original estimate is
[1:06:42] shy of of what it's going to actually so
[1:06:45] we're looking at other options in terms
[1:06:47] of being able to support uh an
[1:06:49] accessible washroom I don't think this
[1:06:51] would necessarily be the the Avenue but
[1:06:53] I think there are a couple of other
[1:06:54] avenues that we explore perfect thank
[1:06:57] you thank you
[1:07:00] Council thank you mayor shanar um
[1:07:03] storage I think you mentioned the last
[1:07:05] time we discussed this last year that
[1:07:08] these and blankets and what all um
[1:07:13] storage could be a bit of a problem down
[1:07:15] there you talked about possibly a
[1:07:18] container or
[1:07:19] something uh is that part of this I
[1:07:22] didn't see it anywhere so part of that
[1:07:25] um the five I think there was about
[1:07:27] 5,000 or 2500 that we uh moved and
[1:07:30] removed from the basic training and we
[1:07:33] could be able to use part of that a a
[1:07:36] container the most recent container we
[1:07:37] bought I think was 5500 or 6,000 and
[1:07:40] absolutely I think that's could
[1:07:42] absolutely be something that we'd be
[1:07:43] able to support we would also make it so
[1:07:46] that uh if Augusta or cardal need it
[1:07:49] that it is then transportable by just
[1:07:51] putting it on a forklift on the back of
[1:07:53] a truck and then moving it along so so
[1:07:55] yeah uh in that we would include the
[1:07:57] storage to be able to to move it around
[1:08:00] to what we need
[1:08:02] to yeah um do you really think though
[1:08:05] that a steel storage container
[1:08:10] is going to prevent dampness or some of
[1:08:14] these blankets things like that uh I
[1:08:18] don't want to sweep with the D blanket
[1:08:20] Bey honest with you so some of the
[1:08:22] things like the blankets and whatnot we
[1:08:24] would find places like underneath the
[1:08:25] stands that sort of thing and then uh
[1:08:28] put them in something that's going to be
[1:08:31] uh keeping it from uh load and damage
[1:08:34] anything like that so anything that does
[1:08:36] have the ability to have um you know
[1:08:38] that sort of issue uh where it could be
[1:08:40] eaten away or that sort of thing then
[1:08:42] definitely would make other arrangements
[1:08:44] the the Cs tend to be a little bit more
[1:08:46] collapsible those types of things and
[1:08:48] then you're able to slip on the cover so
[1:08:51] again it's I'm not saying that we would
[1:08:54] necessarily buy the container but it is
[1:08:56] an option if we wanted to to be able to
[1:08:58] say this is kind of how we would be able
[1:09:00] to move around if we had to okay thank
[1:09:07] you all right
[1:09:10] s yeah so sharing between the
[1:09:15] municipalities this is only us that is
[1:09:18] applying for this money correct so um so
[1:09:21] we would it would only be in case of
[1:09:24] emergency so so let's say um you know
[1:09:28] something happened in Spencerville and
[1:09:29] they they needed CS that sort of thing
[1:09:32] then certainly I think you know they
[1:09:34] would put out a general plea to say does
[1:09:36] anyone have anything we can help and
[1:09:37] support and in which case we take to
[1:09:39] there but our first and foremost
[1:09:40] priority would be president pra and
[1:09:43] helping out where we are able to so
[1:09:46] obviously if these units were used by
[1:09:49] any neighboring Township the neighboring
[1:09:52] Township would be on the hook to I
[1:09:54] either replace
[1:09:56] or uh
[1:09:58] clean the items before The Returned
[1:10:01] absolutely we expect it to be returned
[1:10:03] in the same condition that it's went out
[1:10:06] and if it's not then replaced at that
[1:10:11] time reson for you that's
[1:10:14] good all
[1:10:17] right okay so
[1:10:20] um I won't read the question again
[1:10:23] because it's just the same as one last
[1:10:25] year
[1:10:26] we have a move in second or all in favor
[1:10:28] carried thank
[1:10:31] you okay the I the next one which is our
[1:10:35] last one is Staff report 77-20 24 the
[1:10:39] housing enabling core servicing stream
[1:10:43] join
[1:10:44] application support is from our CAO and
[1:10:47] Treasurer Matthew Armstrong the
[1:10:49] recommendation reads that Council direct
[1:10:51] staff to submit a joint application with
[1:10:53] adjusted Township for the house housing
[1:10:55] enabling core servicing stream for road
[1:10:58] infrastructure as outlined in staff
[1:11:00] report
[1:11:01] 77- 2024 mover and secondary for
[1:11:05] discussion councelor Burton councelor
[1:11:07] Lockett Matthew the floor is yours thank
[1:11:09] you very much Mr so this was uh
[1:11:13] announced recently it differs from the
[1:11:16] how enabling water system infrastructure
[1:11:20] and that particular application will be
[1:11:22] presenting a report at our next meting
[1:11:25] uh to discuss that application but this
[1:11:27] is really focused on Bridges and Roads
[1:11:31] and how it could possibly uh enable
[1:11:35] housing so if you remember kind of in
[1:11:37] our strategic plan or in our well
[1:11:40] strategic plan is very focused on
[1:11:41] housing our official plan already
[1:11:44] envisioned a road uh running from
[1:11:47] industrial over to safaya and eventually
[1:11:50] over into aesta Township as well as the
[1:11:53] joint need study talked about running
[1:11:55] along that area as well so really this
[1:12:00] came along uh Augusta is interested in
[1:12:03] submitting an application they invited
[1:12:04] us if we would like to uh to to tag
[1:12:08] along uh on their application they would
[1:12:10] be the primary we would be a supporter
[1:12:12] of it and and really it's trying to
[1:12:16] expand their network uh between safia
[1:12:18] and Merin Lane and this seemed to fit
[1:12:21] quite well in um you know what we talked
[1:12:24] about St strategic standpoint as well as
[1:12:27] our connections into to austa so um with
[1:12:32] that we we had the engineers kind of
[1:12:34] take a look to say if we're not talking
[1:12:36] about water and sewer or anything else
[1:12:38] we're just talking about uh kind of the
[1:12:40] road then uh to bring it from industrial
[1:12:44] across the the northern uh side of next
[1:12:47] polymers and then down by the Operation
[1:12:50] Center um we're talking somewhere in the
[1:12:52] million dollar range and that's
[1:12:54] basically to to clear it from where it
[1:12:56] is today there's not a lot of tree
[1:12:59] removal things like that if you remember
[1:13:00] it's a dirt path as it is today so and
[1:13:04] really runs pretty much exactly where
[1:13:06] the road right way is and so You' be
[1:13:08] kind of clearing that air putting your
[1:13:10] granular A and B down as well as two
[1:13:13] this of B sh uh really the the overall
[1:13:17] width will be 6 and half meters plus a
[1:13:19] meter on either side for a shoulder and
[1:13:22] then from a stormline management
[1:13:24] perspective there would be dites along
[1:13:26] both sides so um you know a lot more of
[1:13:31] a a road as opposed to a street is what
[1:13:34] we would be looking at and then it also
[1:13:36] provides another way to get to the
[1:13:38] semour Recreation Complex as opposed to
[1:13:41] using Church shells so um we thought it
[1:13:43] was a good fit um as I mentioned Augusta
[1:13:46] is the lead uh on the location and
[1:13:50] thought that this might be an
[1:13:51] opportunity for us to to take along with
[1:13:53] them and be able to uh really look at
[1:13:56] one of those roads that we've envisioned
[1:14:00] uh being expanded in the future and this
[1:14:02] actually provides us an opportunity to
[1:14:06] that very good thank you Mr Armstrong
[1:14:10] any questions for Mr
[1:14:12] armr all right oh almost got through I'm
[1:14:17] always here for you sir you Matthew what
[1:14:20] is the cost difference uh because I
[1:14:22] imagine that shoulder is not paved that
[1:14:25] shoulder would be paav yes that shoulder
[1:14:27] would be paav that meter okay and then I
[1:14:29] guess my question is I know we don't
[1:14:31] want to add sewer and water due to the
[1:14:34] cost but lighting Street lighting would
[1:14:37] that not that couldn't fall under this
[1:14:40] request or
[1:14:44] the it didn't specifically say Street
[1:14:47] Lighting in the uh information now what
[1:14:50] we do know is there's already RSL poles
[1:14:53] that run from Industrial
[1:14:55] uh across the back of of pretty much
[1:14:58] right in the right way that that we're
[1:15:00] talking about and so adding Street
[1:15:02] linting would be relatively simple um
[1:15:05] because if we're not adding polls we
[1:15:06] would just use the polls that are
[1:15:07] already there that sort of thing then um
[1:15:10] and certainly I think it's we could
[1:15:12] perhaps include as part of the
[1:15:14] contingency um that that we have there
[1:15:16] um but as soon as we started adding
[1:15:18] polls things like that then that number
[1:15:19] grows exponentially so we're trying to
[1:15:22] to keep it at a reasonable level and it
[1:15:25] doesn't preclude Water and Sewer uh
[1:15:27] being under those roads it's just that
[1:15:29] this grant would not fall so it was
[1:15:33] strictly road infrastructure and and
[1:15:36] that's where we we kind of looked at
[1:15:38] from that perspective and there's
[1:15:39] there's nothing to say that couldn't
[1:15:42] kind of put a half meter on one side two
[1:15:44] meters on the other uh from a shoulder
[1:15:46] perspective to be able to then provide
[1:15:48] the multi-use path those types of things
[1:15:50] but overall 8 and 1/2 meter WID and then
[1:15:53] we can work with it that so the 8 and a
[1:15:56] half meter is paved okay yeah perfect
[1:15:59] thank
[1:16:00] you Campbell Shar um not knowing about
[1:16:04] roads do we have to do any kind of
[1:16:06] environmental assessment that there
[1:16:08] absolutely anytime you build a road uh
[1:16:10] it's you have to do environmental
[1:16:11] assessment um and then uh when depending
[1:16:15] on the materials that you're taking out
[1:16:17] uh that will dictate what you can reuse
[1:16:20] or what would you put that into the
[1:16:23] grant um it's not something that's
[1:16:25] permitted in there again it' be covered
[1:16:28] by the 125,000 but in terms of the uh
[1:16:32] actual
[1:16:33] um studies and things like that then
[1:16:36] then it wouldn't be included in there
[1:16:38] and this is the town of Prescott's
[1:16:41] road so we'd be maintaining it correct
[1:16:44] and if we had this huge bill from an
[1:16:47] environmental assessment we'd be paying
[1:16:49] for that or would Augusta share with
[1:16:50] them uh so roads that are in prto um we
[1:16:54] would pay
[1:16:56] for so regardless of of what uh road
[1:17:00] that you build even when we when we
[1:17:02] replace roads there's a process that we
[1:17:04] go through from an environmental
[1:17:07] standpoint okay thank
[1:17:09] you coun con thank you mayor Shanker uh
[1:17:13] given the fact that this a buts cuts
[1:17:16] through whatever way you want to look at
[1:17:17] it are Southern Industrial Park this
[1:17:20] would be engineered to heavy Road
[1:17:24] standards
[1:17:25] for cic and presenting it would correct
[1:17:29] it would be engineered to uh kind of the
[1:17:33] exactly as you're saying it kind of a
[1:17:34] road perspective that would allow for
[1:17:36] heavy trucks thank
[1:17:41] you okay so everyone's good with that I
[1:17:45] call the question all in favor okay
