clarification based on what I've 17 00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:20,960 seen in tonight's agenda as to whether 18 00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:24,159 it is still a matter for in camera or 19 00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:28,960 not and if I ask it in general it it's a 20 00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:32,040 yes or a no it's a quick thing but it 21 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,990 would be to everybody's fa to know 22 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,399 so coun McConnell do you know what 23 00:01:40,399 --> 00:01:44,719 section that close section for what 24 00:01:44,719 --> 00:01:48,439 matters I haven't got a clue so it might 25 00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:50,719 be something that we are going to 26 00:01:50,719 --> 00:01:55,200 discuss tonight in which case I 27 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,439 don't okay I know it's

that makes 31 00:02:05,479 --> 00:02:07,200 me wonder whether it's still in camera 32 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,400 or not we should 33 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,200 know okay fine you can add like 34

series and the St 50 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,120 Lawrence shakes profess Valerie 51 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:11,789 Schultz floor is 52 00:03:11,799 --> 00:03:13,840 yours what do you 53 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,400 think I'm here representing the Sunday 54 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,480 Night concerts we are not asking for 55 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,280 money but for your help for those of you 56 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,400 that might have attended our concerts 57 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,120 you will notice that our numbers are 58 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,959 increasing for instance when Eddie and 59 00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:29,400 the sting race performed we had over 500 60 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,360 people 61 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,879 that is encountering the people that 62 00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:33,879 would KN it in and were sitting 63 00:03:33,879 --> 00:03:37,640 outside the Avery flight is between 250 64 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:38,799 and 65 00:03:38,799 --> 00:03:42,159 350s our big concern is if we have to go 66 00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:45,120 in the arena because of rain this summer 67 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,319 we had to go in twice and the second 68 00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:49,480 time we lost money we did not bring in 69 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,439 enough to pay the performer the arena is 70 00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:54,879 a great venue it's only something could 71 00:03:54,879 --> 00:03:57,640 be done about the acoustic with it 72 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,159 Su we have already had one of our 73 00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:01,920 entertainers come up and say if I have 74 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,599 to go in the arena I am 75 00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:07,040 canceling what we would like the town to 76 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,799 do is number one give us a portable 77 00:04:09,799 --> 00:04:12,560 stage that we can put up at a moment's 78 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,879 notice because we usually only have a 79 00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:17,160 couple of hours between the time we make 80 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,320 the decision and letting the town 81 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,040 know when we ask whoever is on duty and 82 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,120 ask to have the stage put up they say 83 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,040 they cannot do it because they need more 84 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,479 man pound if it is a portable stage it's 85 00:04:29,479 --> 00:04:31,440 e a lot 86 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,800 easier however the main thing is making 87 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,320 the Acoustics better we have spoken to 88 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,039 Randy oia La who as you know played in 89 00:04:39,039 --> 00:04:41,840 The Arena New Year's Eve and for the 90 00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:43,600 fire 91 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,120 student he suggested two things that 92 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,720 could improve the 93 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,919 acoustic first sound bounces off the 94 00:04:50,919 --> 00:04:54,280 glass panels either remove them there 95 00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:56,759 was no hockey plan anymore in the arena 96 00:04:56,759 --> 00:04:59,840 or put a curtain up also he suggested 97 00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:02,000 the stage be at the North End facing 98 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,720 south and curtains we've been put out 99 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,919 between East and West I've made a 100 00:05:06,919 --> 00:05:09,680 diagram which I'll show you 101 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,039 later next summer we have engaged 102 00:05:12,039 --> 00:05:14,000 another band which is as popular as the 103 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,400 sing race called Ambush and if they have 104 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,199 to go in the arena I don't think they 105 00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:21,400 will want to come back as the fact we 106 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,440 won't make enough money to cover their 107 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,400 cost nothing is cheap these 108 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,360 days bill and I watch the radio from the 109 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,120 radio from the minute we get up in the 110 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,160 morning and we're watching the storms go 111 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,440 through and believe you 112 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,560 me sometimes where it's really 113 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,800 nerve-wracking we have to let the 114 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,840 entertainers know or the people know 115 00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:44,919 around 4:30 and we also have to let the 116 00:05:44,919 --> 00:05:48,670 town know if we want to use the 117 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,520 arena that's the bands are not going to 118 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,680 risk their equipment being out in the 119 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,479 ring and we also have to think of the 120 00:05:58,479 --> 00:06:00,759 safety of the audiences if it's a 121 00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:03,120 thunderstorm last year we had two bands 122 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,039 it did rain in the middle but it only a 123 00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:08,880 springle which was fine they continue to 124 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,639 play Shakespeare I know would also like 125 00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:13,840 to use arena in the case of rain outs 126 00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:16,199 but again it all comes down to the 127 00:06:16,199 --> 00:06:18,720 acis unfortunately ingry could not be 128 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,319 here this evening as they are having a 129 00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:22,319 very important board meeting but she 130 00:06:22,319 -->

won't spend that much time going over 473 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,320 that but um basically what we've done is 474 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,039 a community risk assessment uh 475 00:23:10,039 --> 00:23:13,200 identifies analyze and evaluates 476 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,559 prioritize risk to the the public and 477 00:23:16,559 --> 00:23:21,279 and the community so we use uh data from 478 00:23:21,279 --> 00:23:24,360 the Census we use uh information from 479 00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:26,880 The Mont Fire Marshals uh document that 480 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,440 we send uh to them uh based on those 481 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,880 risks and type of calls so when we have 482 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,320 uh nine profiles here so these were the 483 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,919 work sheets that we used to get this 484 00:23:38,919 --> 00:23:41,640 document so that was everything from 485 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,919 geographical uh building stock critical 486 00:23:44,919 --> 00:23:47,640 infrastructure uh demographic 487 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,360 profile Hazard profile public fire 488 00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:55,600 safety uh economic profile and then loss 489 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,919 and events of History so some of these 490 00:23:58,919 --> 00:24:01,679 documents are already in our uh 491 00:24:01,679 --> 00:24:04,279 emergency plan for example Hazard 492 00:24:04,279 --> 00:24:06,480 profile and the critical infrastructure 493 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,360 so there's some meat and potatoes in the 494 00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:10,240 document where they are now so what 495 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,320 we've done is used these other 496 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,240 worksheets to to f fill all of those 497 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,159 areas we take all of that and then we 498 00:24:18,159 --> 00:24:23,320 use uh risk based on likelihood or risk 499 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,120 of potential risks so the consequences 500 00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:29,039 so there's an actual uh 501 00:24:29,039 --> 00:24:32,360 map there a chart sorry so you can see 502 00:24:32,360 --> 00:24:34,320 in some of them there's green areas 503 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,520 yellow areas red areas so the red areas 504 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,679 obviously are higher risk so what do we 505 00:24:39,679 --> 00:24:43,360 do to mitigate that that could be 506 00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:48,039 uh pre-planning inspections uh training 507 00:24:48,039 --> 00:24:50,960 uh working with uh neighbors to assist 508 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,679 us at a call with required uh going out 509 00:24:53,679 --> 00:24:57,559 to the industries the buildings uh just 510 00:24:57,559 --> 00:24:58,840 in in town 511 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,520 is what we do so we look at all those 512 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,120 areas and what you have in front of you 513 00:25:03,120 --> 00:25:05,640 is that document at the end uh you will 514 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,320 find that there's a lot of stats out of 515 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,399 that uh the census doc document for us 516 00:25:12,399 --> 00:25:15,840 uh it Tak quite a long time to get 517 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,440 all together uh but at the end of the 518 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,240 day there really wasn't a lot there with 519 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,480 this community risk assessment a lot of 520 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,240 it is is what we see out in the public 521 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,679 uh and then the the stats we Ed from the 522 00:25:29,679 --> 00:25:31,200 fire Marshall's office and as you can 523 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,279 see at the bottom of that document I 524 00:25:33,279 --> 00:25:36,279 guess the last few pages there's dreams 525 00:25:36,279 --> 00:25:38,480 of uh documentation from the fire 526 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,120 Marshall's office that just adds up to 527 00:25:41,120 --> 00:25:43,840 at the end of the day it tells you uh 528 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,080 the dollar LW for whether it's structure 529 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,559 whether it's uh vehicles uh and then 530 00:25:49,559 --> 00:25:51,480 other type of calls we have I think the 531 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,399 most uh important document there of of 532 00:25:55,399 --> 00:25:58,799 the Fire Marshals uh documentation is 533 00:25:58,799 --> 00:26:01,720 the first pie chart so for example it 534 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,880 says I think it's 29.4% of all calls we 535 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,320 get are medical calls you know I think 536 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:12,039 it's 22 23% are false alarm calls but 537 00:26:12,039 --> 00:26:14,279 false alarm calls go in another category 538 00:26:14,279 --> 00:26:16,760 as well right there's sometimes uh 539 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,039 people are doing testing they'll call 540 00:26:19,039 --> 00:26:22,120 the alarm company uh versus could be a 541 00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:24,279 Mr Mrs Smith call where they think 542 00:26:24,279 --> 00:26:27,320 there's an issue but it's proceed 543 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,200 emergency um but we still when we roll 544 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,159 out the door we don't know that right we 545 00:26:33,159 --> 00:26:36,880 go get a page and we go off to a call an 546 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,960 emergency call we don't know that till 547 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,919 after so that's where you see all of 548 00:26:40,919 --> 00:26:43,600 those documentation numbers after and 549 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,559 the percentages there are so the reason 550 00:26:46,559 --> 00:26:48,240 why I have all of that in front of you 551 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,960 is to say it's it's a very uh unique 552 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,720 document uh we will uh P it you will see 553 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,159 that there are annual years uh each year 554 00:26:59,159 --> 00:27:01,320 moving forward where if we find 555 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,360 something that we want to change because 556 00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:05,840 it's a living document we will do that 557 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,679 and then every five years we do the 558 00:27:08,679 --> 00:27:10,960 whole thing over again so new census 559 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,880 information and and whatnot um but as 560 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,120 you can see as I said a lot of stats uh 561 00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:20,679 in front of you um be more than happy to 562 00:27:20,679 --> 00:27:23,480 answer any questions you may 563 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,840 have I just thought maybe if you can't 564 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,559 have a easy way of sleeping tonight that 565 00:27:28,559 --> 00:27:30,070 again you'll be 566 00:27:30,070 --> 00:27:32,399 [Laughter] 567 00:27:32,399 --> 00:27:34,880 good any questions for the 568 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,159 Chief look Mar thank you may Shankar 569 00:27:39,159 --> 00:27:42,039 just um this was great it's eye opening 570 00:27:42,039 --> 00:27:43,919 and for me I really looked at the 571 00:27:43,919 --> 00:27:47,120 business and personal service mertile 572 00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:49,240 and the lack of fire extinguishers and 573 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,000 not only that but the lack of training 574 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,519 so I see a great opportunity for the Bia 575 00:27:54,519 --> 00:27:56,200 to give you guys a call and say hey 576 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,519 let's set something up for the 577 00:27:57,519 --> 00:27:58,640 businesses 578 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,080 because I know even in our business 579 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,600 we're an insurance business but we still 580 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,600 have a kitchen right and we still have 581 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,840 other things so I think that would be 582 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,480 great in the future if we could maybe 583 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,240 collaborate with the Bia I think it's a 584 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,760 perfect opportunity so for example on 585 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,480 the open house we have coming up next 586 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,519 Saturday we'll have a tutor there and a 587 00:28:17,519 --> 00:28:21,080 tutor is just a way of using uh fire 588 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,880 extinguisher to put out a pretend fire 589 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,519 uh and a lot of time the parents bring 590 00:28:25,519 --> 00:28:28,399 their kids and stuff but if it's the 591 00:28:28,399 --> 00:28:30,159 it's we have it right so it's something 592 00:28:30,159 --> 00:28:33,080 we could work with you right even if we 593 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,360 had at the fire hall right and find a 594 00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:39,360 day where you could bring uh the Bia and 595 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,240 we can figure that out because it's uh 596 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,240 it's amazing I mean I have fire exites 597 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:46,880 in my house hope I never use them but 598 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,519 the average person buy them it's great 599 00:28:49,519 --> 00:28:51,519 that they have them but would not know 600 00:28:51,519 --> 00:28:54,600 how to use right so yeah we definitely 601 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:55,799 thank 602 00:28:55,799 --> 00:28:59,159 you very good anyone else have a 603 00:28:59,159 --> 00:29:01,559

--> 00:34:46,520 through this about three times and it's 730 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,240 it's you can it different ways it 731 00:34:49,240 --> 00:34:51,240 waffles a little bit I think that needs 732 00:34:51,240 --> 00:34:52,320 to 733 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:58,270 be firmed up B 734 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,119 [Music] 735 00:35:00,119 --> 00:35:01,560 I believe our discussions we felt that 736 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:11,950 it would it would 737 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,280 be public or anybody can to uh if you 738 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,160 feel it's not clear though let let me 739 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,320 know how we can tighten that up to make 740 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,079 to provide that 741 00:35:22,079 --> 00:35:34,670 Clarity but as of right now 742 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,240 because they do more than then it's the 743 00:35:37,240 --> 00:35:40,160 obvious stuff that they do around town 744 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,880 if uh somebody's complaining about a 745 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:47,480 flower bed will say um then the actual 746 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,319 head of the public works 747 00:35:50,319 --> 00:35:52,800 department right now we don't have one I 748 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:57,280 don't think um and Nathan left this this 749 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:58,480 week 750 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,720 uh that department head would look after 751 00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:01,520 the 752 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,480 complaint and if the complaintant was 753 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,880 not satisfied with the solution that was 754 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,760 offered you're saying that it it goes to 755 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,440 the utsman from there for you so that 756 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,400 that's an option if they feel like the 757 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,520 result isn't what they want for 758 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,359 something like a flower bit though I 759 00:36:20,359 --> 00:36:23,000 think the policy outlines an informal 760 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,839 and a formal complaint so it's the first 761 00:36:24,839 --> 00:36:26,560 time you complain as a FL but it's not 762 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,599 readed that makes sense to rise the 763 00:36:28,599 --> 00:36:30,359 director of operations so then make sure 764 00:36:30,359 --> 00:36:31,920 that staff go up and clean up the flower 765 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,839 but if it's repeatedly requested over 766 00:36:34,839 --> 00:36:36,960 and over again then it becomes a formal 767 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:37,920 complaint and there's more of an 768 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,240 investigation so then we look into it 769 00:36:40,240 --> 00:36:44,520 and then the the result is to deal with 770 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,400 it internally so there's there's not 771 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,000 really an appeal 772 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,200 process but it would be the expectation 773 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,319 per head would be able to resolve that 774 00:36:56,319 --> 00:36:59,920 issue okay okay well um 775 00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:02,119 I've there was something else came 776 00:37:02,119 --> 00:37:03,800 before Council a while ago and I made 777 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,280 the same comment and I'm going to make 778 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,319 the same comment about this one I can't 779 00:37:08,319 --> 00:37:12,599 support something that does not give our 780 00:37:12,599 --> 00:37:14,720 Town's people the 781 00:37:14,720 --> 00:37:19,079 option of as a final Resort before going 782 00:37:19,079 --> 00:37:20,200 to the 783 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:24,240 utsman to appealing directly for or to 784 00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:26,520 council we're elected by the people in 785 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,720 the community they expect us to provide 786 00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:30,680 good government we do the best that we 787 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,040 can but when there is a complaint if 788 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,079 they're not satisfied with how the 789 00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:37,560 complaint is 790 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:42,680 handled I believe they should have the 791 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,960 ability to launch a final appeal to 792 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:48,520 this 793 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,920 group before they have to go through a 794 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,200 whole bunch of work which could take God 795 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,920 only knows how long and take it out of 796 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,359 this community to the 797 00:37:58,359 --> 00:38:01,960 udman so uh 798 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,000 personally I can't 799 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:09,000 support anything of this ilk if it did 800 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,079 not contain that 801 00:38:11,079 -->

complaints all day long or 814 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,800 are appealed 815 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,920 complaints I don't want that to happen 816 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,680 and by you know in all respect if you 817 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,040 want to put that 818 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,839 in you know we have 819 00:39:10,839 --> 00:39:13,760 to we have to trust our staff to do to 820 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,200 make the right 821 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,079 call you understand what I'm 822 00:39:19,079 --> 00:39:22,880 saying yeah uh I do understand what 823 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,319 you're saying I don't agree with it 824 00:39:25,319 --> 00:39:29,319 though I believe as I said that we are 825 00:39:29,319 --> 00:39:33,119 elected not staff we represent the 826 00:39:33,119 --> 00:39:34,480 people in the 827 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:39,520 community staff represents us but if the 828 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,440 people who are in the community have a 829 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,960 complaint and I use a flower bed as a 830 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,319 very poor example and I will admit it 831 00:39:48,319 --> 00:39:51,160 but um if somebody in the community does 832 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,119 have a complaint I believe that they 833 00:39:54,119 --> 00:39:56,440 should have the ability to complain to 834 00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,440 council as the final result because you 835 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,680 know darn well they're going to complain 836 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,359 to all of us individually or out when 837 00:40:03,359 --> 00:40:06,040 you're walking your dog 838 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,000 anyway and then we really can't respond 839 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,359 to it in an individual way it's it's 840 00:40:12,359 --> 00:40:14,960 it's not within our power to do so and 841 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:19,119 we shouldn't so bringing it before 842 00:40:19,119 --> 00:40:21,839 Council for a decision I believe it's 843 00:40:21,839 --> 00:40:24,040 the proper way to do it the fact that 844 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,760 nobody else does it doesn't really 845 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,040 matter it's not going to change my 846 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:32,319 opinion on it so that is um that's the 847 00:40:32,319 --> 00:40:35,599 way I feel about it thank you anyone 848 00:40:35,599 --> 00:40:39,240 else oh sorry yes um a couple things I 849 00:40:39,240 --> 00:40:41,079 know we went over most of this but I'm 850 00:40:41,079 --> 00:40:43,480 just trying to clarify again so under 851 00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,359 the complaints it's saying that um it 852 00:40:46,359 --> 00:40:48,160 needs to be submitted in writing we're 853 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,839 considering email writing correct okay 854 00:40:51,839 --> 00:40:54,960 and then under the formal um complaint 855 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,560 process it says um 856 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,040 it's going to be uh acknowledged in five 857 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:02,800 days is 858 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,200 um acknowledged and uh receipt of does 859 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,400 that mean we're just documenting it but 860 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,359 we're not letting them know like are we 861 00:41:10,359 --> 00:41:12,800 letting the complaint person know within 862 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,960 five days that we received it and we're 863 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,440 looking into it or whatever so sh when 864 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:19,880 the form comes to whether it's handed in 865 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,960 in person or online it comes directly to 866 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,319 K myself we review it assess it figure 867 00:41:25,319 --> 00:41:31,589 what to send it through to 868 00:41:31,599 --> 00:41:33,960 then then they know where it's going and 869 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:38,870 then they also have that 870 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:44,000 first K through you mayor Shanker I kind 871 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,280 of agree with councelor McConnell but 872 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,920 not on every complaint I mean there 873 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,359 seems there almost needs to be like a 874 00:41:51,359 --> 00:41:54,520 threshold of where Council would be 875 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,599 aware one for me is the unreasonable 876 00:41:57,599 --> 00:42:01,440 Behavior right that there I feel like 877 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,800 should come to council or some kind of 878 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,760 information on that decision that maybe 879 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,200 you know we're going to trespass 880 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,359 somebody or something like that that for 881 00:42:11,359 --> 00:42:16,839 me is kind of one or something where 882 00:42:16,839 --> 00:42:20,480 staff really isn't sure on what the next 883 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,520 direction is you know they may feel that 884 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,200 you know there is a bit of uh legitimacy 885 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,800 to the complaint but there's also you 886 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,400 know a side of it that's not you know I 887 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,240 don't think Council we want to be like 888 00:42:34,240 --> 00:42:35,520 you said bogged down with every 889 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,040 complaint that comes through staff 890 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,440 because staff is here to deal with that 891 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,400 but I do feel you know when we get to 892 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:45,040 that upper level of complaints that 893 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,480 Council should have some vision and 894 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,599 maybe even possibly some say on the 895 00:42:50,599 --> 00:42:53,760 final decision of that matter and I 896 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,760 guess the the last question I'm sure 897 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,680 that was actually called in the the 898 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,960 handling you know for some of the staff 899 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,400 because we do have staff that has family 900 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,920 right connections I'm sure that would be 901 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:10,960 dealt with separately I.E if one of your 902 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:12,200 sons worked here and you were the 903 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,119 department head you're not going to 904 00:43:14,119 --> 00:43:15,839 resolve that issue right that's going to 905 00:43:15,839 --> 00:43:18,280 be moved to a conflict of interest and 906 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,040 moved to another department head is that 907 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:21,599 correct and should that be called out in 908 00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:25,200 this document as far as the conflict of 909 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:29,549 interest 910 00:43:29,559 --> 00:43:31,000 I mean it's something we can take into 911 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,520 consideration right like if it is a 912 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,599 conflict of interest well I don't think 913 00:43:35,599 --> 00:43:37,960 honestly for myself comforable with any 914 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,240 family member making a decision on 915 00:43:40,240 --> 00:43:42,160 another family 916 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:47,119 member as a councel okay Deputy clerk 917 00:43:47,119 --> 00:43:48,520 sorry cler 918 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:51,119 sorry we're kind of getting into like an 919 00:43:51,119 --> 00:43:52,440 matter at that point which would be 920 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,079 addressed when the person's on board and 921 00:43:54,079 --> 00:43:56,000 hired they're not going to be reporting 922 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:57,720 to a family member we have certain 923 00:43:57,720 --> 00:44:00,440 policies in place that kind of govern 924 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,760 that I don't see that kind of falling 925 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:07,000 under the compl policy as an HR matter 926 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,000 uh the COO and other department have 927 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,920 would be definitely be involved in doing 928 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:14,720 that so Ral 929 00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:17,040 conflict through you mayor Shanker but 930 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,240 we do have current staff that reports to 931 00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:28,710 family doing not 932 00:44:28,720 --> 00:44:31,559 right I

00:53:52,200 being relased or both and Council right 1134 00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:55,200 it could be I think it's I know it's 1135 00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,400 only called out for them to here but it 1136 00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:00,119 could be really applied if you thought 1137 00:54:00,119 --> 00:54:03,400 about it could be applied to anybody in 1138 00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,319 theory right I

stuff like that so 1215 00:57:45,079 --> 00:57:47,760 it's a little easier to pick a name I 1216 00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:51,119 think going forward if we have to name 1217 00:57:51,119 --> 00:57:53,400 something I can see us being here till 1218 00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:57,520 midnight on that night you know 1219 00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,559 one of those things you never know but 1220 00:57:59,559 --> 00:58:01,480 we can have a policy that we put 1221 00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:03,440 together whether they're deceased or not 1222 00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,440 we can we can vote on that or we can 1223 00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:09,000 talk about that some more but we you 1224 00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:10,400 know we still have two weeks between our 1225 00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,079 next meeting we have any ideas or 1226 00:58:13,079 --> 00:58:16,039 suggestions I would emphasize that we 1227 00:58:16,039 --> 00:58:19,640 send it in Miss famp so she 1228 00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:22,640 knows anyone else oh sorry you're back 1229 00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:26,640 to you so three shank last one and I 1230 00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:28,119 know I mentioned this in the working 1231 00:58:28,119 --> 00:58:30,200 group and I think the reason why I 1232 00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,200 requested the deceased going is because 1233 00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,880 I'd like that to be removed but I'd also 1234 00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:36,920 like to add I know staff won't be 1235 00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:39,920 comfortable with this but the inclusion 1236 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:44,480 of staff that could possibly have 1237 00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,119 something named after them and it could 1238 00:58:46,119 --> 00:58:49,039 be you know I just think if we don't 1239 00:58:49,039 --> 00:58:50,920 call it out in here it could never 1240 00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:54,640 happen right and I know staff doesn't 1241 00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:57,359 want that but I think if Council decided 1242 00:58:57,359 --> 00:58:59,599 to recognize a staff 1243 00:58:59,599 --> 00:59:04,160 member in a naming policy then so be it 1244 00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:05,559 as long as they're alive they can say 1245 00:59:05,559 --> 00:59:07,359 yes or 1246 00:59:07,359 --> 00:59:09,720 no maybe they shouldn't be working at 1247 00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:11,760 down at that time 1248 00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,720 but anyway thank 1249 00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:18,680 you just a quick one it does say and I 1250 00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,839 think I miss this to be be honest with 1251 00:59:20,839 --> 00:59:24,640 you uh it does say including but not 1252 00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:27,039 limited to 1253 00:59:27,039 --> 00:59:29,640 which certainly would include Town staff 1254 00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:32,589 or 1255 00:59:32,599 --> 00:59:35,359 anybody 1256 00:59:35,359 --> 00:59:39,680 really not to catch all phrase right so 1257 00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:42,920 yeah the only problem with lists is 1258 00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:45,119 they're they're they're they're not 1259 00:59:45,119 --> 00:59:47,400 infinite right they could could just 1260 00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:49,079 have they could be changed in the next 1261 00:59:49,079 --> 00:59:52,039 term okay anyone 1262 00:59:52,039 --> 00:59:54,520 else so I'm going to call the question 1263 00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:57,079 then all in favor 1264

01:00:21,160 Armstrong the recommendation read that 1271 01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:22,839 Council direct staff to submit an 1272 01:00:22,839 --> 01:00:24,680 application for the community emergency 1273 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:26,520 preparedness Grant 1274 01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:29,960 2024 25 intake in the amount of $50,000 1275 01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,520 as outlined in staff report 1276 01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:34,079 76- 1277 01:00:34,079 --> 01:00:37,119 2024 mover and secondary for discussion 1278 01:00:37,119 --> 01:00:39,720 is councelor lock councelor McConnell 1279 01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:42,039 Matthew the floor is 1280 01:00:42,039 --> 01:00:46,119 yours so this is probably reminiscent of 1281 01:00:46,119 --> 01:00:48,079 a previous report that we brought last 1282 01:00:48,079 --> 01:00:50,760 year and in 1283 01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:53,440 2324 the first intake of of this 1284 01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:55,240 particular Grant there were 113 1285 01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:56,440 applications 1286 01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:58,799 approved as part of that initial intake 1287 01:00:58,799 --> 01:01:01,319 and now they're opening up again for 1288 01:01:01,319 --> 01:01:02,799 another intake and I believe there's one 1289 01:01:02,799 --> 01:01:05,280 more intake for 2526 that will come out 1290 01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:08,440 next year so going through uh really 1291 01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,359 it's to help communities be prepared for 1292 01:01:11,359 --> 01:01:14,480 emergencies and what we identified in 1293 01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:16,440 last year is outfitting the Leo 1294 01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:19,400 Community uh Community Center as a 1295 01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:22,599 emergency shelter so that includes uh 1296 01:01:22,599 --> 01:01:25,920 preparing it so that it can accept 1297 01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:28,839 mobile generator uh to be able to uh run 1298 01:01:28,839 --> 01:01:32,200 if the there is no electricity and then 1299 01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:35,280 also outfitting it with uh cops blankets 1300 01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:38,160 ory supplies on hand so that uh in the 1301 01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:40,039 event that we have to evacuate a certain 1302 01:01:40,039 --> 01:01:42,480 number of people or a certain portion of 1303 01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,400 town that we be able to uh take them 1304 01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:49,200 right the community center so U really 1305 01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:51,000 that's what it's based on again uh the 1306 01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:52,880 one thing that we did remove is just the 1307 01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:54,960 basic training uh we have budget for 1308 01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:57,720 that in the oper AAL budget and so 1309 01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:00,039 really it's just focusing on creating 1310 01:02:00,039 --> 01:02:02,799 that uh preparedness for the venue to be 1311 01:02:02,799 --> 01:02:06,079 used as an emergency evacuation Center 1312 01:02:06,079 --> 01:02:09,599 um nothing more than that really no 1313 01:02:09,599 --> 01:02:12,039 other changes um and it's just seeking 1314 01:02:12,039 --> 01:02:16,039 to uh submit that Grant under the 1315 01:02:16,039 --> 01:02:19,880 same kind of context once again yes 1316 01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:21,960 remember that questions from Mr 1317 01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,480 Armstrong councelor Campbell you mayor 1318 01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:27,000 Shanker I'm just curious to know if they 1319 01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:30,599 told you why at all that we didn't get 1320 01:02:30,599 --> 01:02:33,720 it they did not um other than that there 1321 01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:37,520 was a lot of applications and uh they 1322 01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:40,440 did not offer any response in terms of 1323 01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:43,720 uh information we did go through um a 1324 01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:45,839 number of the other to see what was 1325 01:02:45,839 --> 01:02:48,200 supported and what wasn't um this seemed 1326 01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:50,599 to fit well within it but at the same 1327 01:02:50,599 --> 01:02:53,240 time um we understand that there's only 1328 01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:55,160 a limited I believe it's $5 million a 1329 01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:57,599 year uh that is going through the Grant 1330 01:02:57,599 --> 01:03:01,760 and there's over 400 municipalities so 1331 01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:04,960 yeah I just wonder if it would be a good 1332 01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:06,880 idea to add something a little different 1333 01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:08,400 in case they just thought well we're not 1334 01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,640 going to fund that that's that's not a 1335 01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,880 good idea I don't know if we could add 1336 01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:15,799 anything a little bit different or just 1337 01:03:15,799 --> 01:03:19,599 try again so my suggestion is try again 1338 01:03:19,599 --> 01:03:22,160 if it doesn't work then uh certainly 1339 01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:24,559 taking a look at what they funded this 1340 01:03:24,559 --> 01:03:26,240 time and then going through that to 1341 01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:28,559 determine um if there's something more 1342 01:03:28,559 --> 01:03:30,279 or different that we should apply for in 1343 01:03:30,279 --> 01:03:34,839 the the third round okay thank thank 1344 01:03:34,839 --> 01:03:38,799 you through you m Shanker Matthew could 1345 01:03:38,799 --> 01:03:41,240 uh I'm thinking of an ice storm so you 1346 01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:43,839 got the generator there is the Leo Bo 1347 01:03:43,839 --> 01:03:46,920 Community Center in a position to be 1348 01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:49,400 used in the winter to create heat enough 1349 01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:51,880 heat to House people if there was an ice 1350 01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:55,000 storm yeah so there's the stand heaters 1351 01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:58,079 that that are there and and pickle balls 1352 01:03:58,079 --> 01:04:01,359 play through to Wi currently um really 1353 01:04:01,359 --> 01:04:03,400 one of the things that we would do and I 1354 01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:05,119 can't remember who did or not last year 1355 01:04:05,119 --> 01:04:07,160 but actually just turn the heat shields 1356 01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:10,400 away from he stands into the center so 1357 01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:13,119 that's one way that able to do that also 1358 01:04:13,119 --> 01:04:15,880 bringing in large industrial heaters uh 1359 01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:18,760 would be able to to do that as well and 1360 01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:20,680 then one more question if you don't mind 1361 01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:22,920 through you Mar Shankar Matthew let's 1362 01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:24,960 say there's a forest fire up north and 1363 01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:26,279 we take 1364 01:04:26,279 --> 01:04:28,279 residents from the north into the Leo 1365 01:04:28,279 --> 01:04:31,599 boan Community Center is there 1366 01:04:31,599 --> 01:04:35,279 compensation provided to the town for 1367 01:04:35,279 --> 01:04:37,760 each resident that's brought into the 1368 01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:40,440 Leo boen Community Center generally yes 1369 01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:43,119 and so once in a while depending on the 1370 01:04:43,119 --> 01:04:45,400 the rate of forest fires in the the 1371 01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:47,640 northern part of the province um they 1372 01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:49,640 will put out a Clea for asking 1373 01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:53,079 municipalities to uh to volunteer for 1374 01:04:53,079 --> 01:04:55,160 that and there is a reimbursement 1375 01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:58,039 process uh that that's attached to that 1376 01:04:58,039 --> 01:05:00,079 uh we haven't had it in the last two 1377 01:05:00,079 --> 01:05:03,400 years um what they have done is equipped 1378 01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:06,520 some of the larger more Northern 1379 01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:08,960 municipalities with uh with equipment to 1380 01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:11,520 be able to support those and so now they 1381 01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:13,799 have a certain base to be able to work 1382 01:05:13,799 --> 01:05:15,599 with but if they go beyond that then 1383 01:05:15,599 --> 01:05:18,240 they ask for a general uh support from 1384 01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,240 from all 1385 01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:22,039 municipalities because I could imagine 1386 01:05:22,039 --> 01:05:24,920 there would be some cost to housing IE 1387 01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:26,559 food water 1388 01:05:26,559 --> 01:05:28,920 right that the town would have to if 1389 01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:30,599 it's outside of town then then 1390 01:05:30,599 --> 01:05:32,559 absolutely when we're supporting those 1391 01:05:32,559 --> 01:05:34,079 Norman communities then it's certainly 1392 01:05:34,079 --> 01:05:37,319 they reimburse if it's for doing an 1393 01:05:37,319 --> 01:05:39,240 emergency within the the town borders 1394 01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:41,960 then then certainly a 1395 01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:45,400 first amount that's equivalent to 3% of 1396 01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:47,920 your property tax intake is adored by 1397 01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:51,039 the town and then amounts after that uh 1398 01:05:51,039 --> 01:05:54,119 is supported by the 1399 01:05:54,119 --> 01:05:58,160 profits last one okay uh and then as far 1400 01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:01,240 as the accessible uh washroom I know 1401 01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:03,319 that we had talked about transferring 1402 01:06:03,319 --> 01:06:07,559 the old first aid room down there to be 1403 01:06:07,559 --> 01:06:11,039 accessible are is that in process or 1404 01:06:11,039 --> 01:06:14,160 would this money could maybe be used I 1405 01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:15,720 don't think we could use it necessarily 1406 01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:17,559 for that we do 1407 01:06:17,559 --> 01:06:19,880 have an idea that we' like to bring 1408 01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:21,160 forward to council at the next meeting 1409 01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:23,160 there is uh Recreation funding for 1410 01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,880 rehabilitation of sites and we have a 1411 01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:28,279 few ideas of what we could uh do at the 1412 01:06:28,279 --> 01:06:30,680 real board Community Center and one of 1413 01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:34,039 those is our biggest issue is that the 1414 01:06:34,039 --> 01:06:36,680 uh waste pipe is much deeper under the 1415 01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:37,960 concrete than we thought it was going to 1416 01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:42,640 be so uh that our original estimate is 1417 01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:45,400 shy of of what it's going to actually so 1418 01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:47,240 we're looking at other options in terms 1419 01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:49,319 of being able to support uh an 1420 01:06:49,319 --> 01:06:51,319 accessible washroom I don't think this 1421 01:06:51,319 --> 01:06:53,279 would necessarily be the the Avenue but 1422 01:06:53,279 --> 01:06:54,799 I think there are a couple of other 1423 01:06:54,799 --> 01:06:57,440 avenues that we explore perfect thank 1424 01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:00,160 you thank you 1425 01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:03,000 Council thank you mayor shanar um 1426 01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,839 storage I think you mentioned the last 1427 01:07:05,839 --> 01:07:08,880 time we discussed this last year that 1428 01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:13,319 these and blankets and what all um 1429 01:07:13,319 --> 01:07:15,640 storage could be a bit of a problem down 1430 01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:18,400 there you talked about possibly a 1431 01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:19,799 container or 1432 01:07:19,799 --> 01:07:22,359 something uh is that part of this I 1433 01:07:22,359 --> 01:07:25,400 didn't see it anywhere so part of that 1434 01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:27,279 um the five I think there was about 1435 01:07:27,279 --> 01:07:30,559 5,000 or 2500 that we uh moved and 1436 01:07:30,559 --> 01:07:33,559 removed from the basic training and we 1437 01:07:33,559 --> 01:07:36,200 could be able to use part of that a a 1438 01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:37,799 container the most recent container we 1439 01:07:37,799 --> 01:07:40,799 bought I think was 5500 or 6,000 and 1440 01:07:40,799 --> 01:07:42,400 absolutely I think that's could 1441 01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:43,680 absolutely be something that we'd be 1442 01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:46,200 able to support we would also make it so 1443 01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:49,160 that uh if Augusta or cardal need it 1444 01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:51,640 that it is then transportable by just 1445 01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:53,079 putting it on a forklift on the back of 1446 01:07:53,079 --> 01:07:55,240 a truck and then moving it along so so 1447 01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:57,920 yeah uh in that we would include the 1448 01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:00,319 storage to be able to to move it around 1449 01:08:00,319 --> 01:08:02,400 to what we need 1450 01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:05,680 to yeah um do you really think though 1451 01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:10,319 that a steel storage container 1452 01:08:10,319 --> 01:08:14,920 is going to prevent dampness or some of 1453 01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:18,640 these blankets things like that uh I 1454 01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:20,239 don't want to sweep with the D blanket 1455 01:08:20,239 --> 01:08:22,480 Bey honest with you so some of the 1456 01:08:22,480 --> 01:08:24,120 things like the blankets and whatnot we 1457 01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:25,960 would find places like underneath the 1458 01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:28,880 stands that sort of thing and then uh 1459 01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:31,319 put them in something that's going to be 1460 01:08:31,319 --> 01:08:34,480 uh keeping it from uh load and damage 1461 01:08:34,480 --> 01:08:36,400 anything like that so anything that does 1462 01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:38,960 have the ability to have um you know 1463 01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:40,600 that sort of issue uh where it could be 1464 01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:42,640 eaten away or that sort of thing then 1465 01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:44,880 definitely would make other arrangements 1466 01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:46,719 the the Cs tend to be a little bit more 1467 01:08:46,719 --> 01:08:48,520 collapsible those types of things and 1468 01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:51,359 then you're able to slip on the cover so 1469 01:08:51,359 --> 01:08:54,040 again it's I'm not saying that we would 1470 01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:56,520 necessarily buy the container but it is 1471 01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:58,640 an option if we wanted to to be able to 1472 01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:00,880 say this is kind of how we would be able 1473 01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:06,990 to move around if we had to okay thank 1474 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:10,400 you all right 1475 01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:15,600 s yeah so sharing between the 1476 01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,480 municipalities this is only us that is 1477 01:09:18,480 --> 01:09:21,960 applying for this money correct so um so 1478 01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:24,440 we would it would only be in case of 1479 01:09:24,440 --> 01:09:28,040 emergency so so let's say um you know 1480 01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:29,759 something happened in Spencerville and 1481 01:09:29,759 --> 01:09:32,359 they they needed CS that sort of thing 1482 01:09:32,359 --> 01:09:34,719 then certainly I think you know they 1483 01:09:34,719 --> 01:09:36,400 would put out a general plea to say does 1484 01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:37,640 anyone have anything we can help and 1485 01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:39,640 support and in which case we take to 1486 01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:40,960 there but our first and foremost 1487 01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:43,520 priority would be president pra and 1488 01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:46,560 helping out where we are able to so 1489 01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:49,440 obviously if these units were used by 1490 01:09:49,440 --> 01:09:52,000 any neighboring Township the neighboring 1491 01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,480 Township would be on the hook to I 1492 01:09:54,480 --> 01:09:56,120 either replace 1493 01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:58,040 or uh 1494 01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:01,520 clean the items before The Returned 1495 01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:03,640 absolutely we expect it to be returned 1496 01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:06,600 in the same condition that it's went out 1497 01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:11,189 and if it's not then replaced at that 1498 01:10:11,199 --> 01:10:14,520 time reson for you that's 1499 01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:17,280 good all 1500 01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:20,400 right okay so 1501 01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:23,320 um I won't read the question again 1502 01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:25,000 because it's just the same as one last 1503 01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:26,080 year 1504 01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:28,760 we have a move in second or all in favor 1505 01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:31,199 carried thank 1506 01:10:31,199 --> 01:10:35,679 you okay the I the next one which is our 1507 01:10:35,679 --> 01:10:39,920 last one is Staff report 77-20 24 the 1508 01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:43,440 housing enabling core servicing stream 1509 01:10:43,440 --> 01:10:44,520 join 1510 01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:47,520 application support is from our CAO and 1511 01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:49,000 Treasurer Matthew Armstrong the 1512 01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:51,320 recommendation reads that Council direct 1513 01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,280 staff to submit a joint application with 1514 01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:55,679 adjusted Township for the house housing 1515 01:10:55,679 --> 01:10:58,760 enabling core servicing stream for road 1516 01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:00,600 infrastructure as outlined in staff 1517 01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:01,640 report 1518 01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:05,159 77- 2024 mover and secondary for 1519 01:11:05,159 --> 01:11:07,520 discussion councelor Burton councelor 1520 01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:09,760 Lockett Matthew the floor is yours thank 1521 01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:13,239 you very much Mr so this was uh 1522 01:11:13,239 --> 01:11:16,159 announced recently it differs from the 1523 01:11:16,159 --> 01:11:20,320 how enabling water system infrastructure 1524 01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:22,760 and that particular application will be 1525 01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:25,360 presenting a report at our next meting 1526 01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:27,560 uh to discuss that application but this 1527 01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:31,880 is really focused on Bridges and Roads 1528 01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:35,120 and how it could possibly uh enable 1529 01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:37,560 housing so if you remember kind of in 1530 01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:40,320 our strategic plan or in our well 1531 01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:41,920 strategic plan is very focused on 1532 01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:44,280 housing our official plan already 1533 01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:47,120 envisioned a road uh running from 1534 01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:50,360 industrial over to safaya and eventually 1535 01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:53,159 over into aesta Township as well as the 1536 01:11:53,159 --> 01:11:55,800 joint need study talked about running 1537 01:11:55,800 --> 01:12:00,239 along that area as well so really this 1538 01:12:00,239 --> 01:12:03,000 came along uh Augusta is interested in 1539 01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:04,960 submitting an application they invited 1540 01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:08,320 us if we would like to uh to to tag 1541 01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:10,520 along uh on their application they would 1542 01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:12,920 be the primary we would be a supporter 1543 01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:16,040 of it and and really it's trying to 1544 01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:18,719 expand their network uh between safia 1545 01:12:18,719 --> 01:12:21,760 and Merin Lane and this seemed to fit 1546 01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:24,639 quite well in um you know what we talked 1547 01:12:24,639 --> 01:12:27,440 about St strategic standpoint as well as 1548 01:12:27,440 --> 01:12:32,440 our connections into to austa so um with 1549 01:12:32,440 --> 01:12:34,120 that we we had the engineers kind of 1550 01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:36,239 take a look to say if we're not talking 1551 01:12:36,239 --> 01:12:38,360 about water and sewer or anything else 1552 01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:40,639 we're just talking about uh kind of the 1553 01:12:40,639 --> 01:12:44,040 road then uh to bring it from industrial 1554 01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:47,880 across the the northern uh side of next 1555 01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:50,000 polymers and then down by the Operation 1556 01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:52,199 Center um we're talking somewhere in the 1557 01:12:52,199 --> 01:12:54,600 million dollar range and that's 1558 01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:56,880 basically to to clear it from where it 1559 01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:59,040 is today there's not a lot of tree 1560 01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:00,800 removal things like that if you remember 1561 01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:04,920 it's a dirt path as it is today so and 1562 01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:06,679 really runs pretty much exactly where 1563 01:13:06,679 --> 01:13:08,960 the road right way is and so You' be 1564 01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:10,560 kind of clearing that air putting your 1565 01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:13,239 granular A and B down as well as two 1566 01:13:13,239 --> 01:13:17,520 this of B sh uh really the the overall 1567 01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:19,320 width will be 6 and half meters plus a 1568 01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:22,560 meter on either side for a shoulder and 1569 01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:24,320 then from a stormline management 1570 01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:26,560 perspective there would be dites along 1571 01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:31,040 both sides so um you know a lot more of 1572 01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:34,520 a a road as opposed to a street is what 1573 01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:36,639 we would be looking at and then it also 1574 01:13:36,639 --> 01:13:38,520 provides another way to get to the 1575 01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:41,239 semour Recreation Complex as opposed to 1576 01:13:41,239 --> 01:13:43,639 using Church shells so um we thought it 1577 01:13:43,639 --> 01:13:46,560 was a good fit um as I mentioned Augusta 1578 01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:50,080 is the lead uh on the location and 1579 01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:51,159 thought that this might be an 1580 01:13:51,159 --> 01:13:53,320 opportunity for us to to take along with 1581 01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:56,719 them and be able to uh really look at 1582 01:13:56,719 --> 01:14:00,199 one of those roads that we've envisioned 1583 01:14:00,199 --> 01:14:02,480 uh being expanded in the future and this 1584 01:14:02,480 --> 01:14:04,040 actually provides us an opportunity to 1585 01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:06,790 do 1586 01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:10,000 that very good thank you Mr Armstrong 1587 01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:12,840 any questions for Mr 1588 01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:17,239 armr all right oh almost got through I'm 1589 01:14:17,239 --> 01:14:20,639 always here for you sir you Matthew what 1590 01:14:20,639 --> 01:14:22,760 is the cost difference uh because I 1591 01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:25,520 imagine that shoulder is not paved that 1592 01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:27,320 shoulder would be paav yes that shoulder 1593 01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:29,960 would be paav that meter okay and then I 1594 01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:31,920 guess my question is I know we don't 1595 01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:34,040 want to add sewer and water due to the 1596 01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:37,639 cost but lighting Street lighting would 1597 01:14:37,639 --> 01:14:40,480 that not that couldn't fall under this 1598 01:14:40,480 --> 01:14:44,360 request or 1599 01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:47,159 the it didn't specifically say Street 1600 01:14:47,159 --> 01:14:50,639 Lighting in the uh information now what 1601 01:14:50,639 --> 01:14:53,639 we do know is there's already RSL poles 1602 01:14:53,639 --> 01:14:55,719 that run from Industrial 1603 01:14:55,719 --> 01:14:58,679 uh across the back of of pretty much 1604 01:14:58,679 --> 01:15:00,360 right in the right way that that we're 1605 01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:02,719 talking about and so adding Street 1606 01:15:02,719 --> 01:15:05,000 linting would be relatively simple um 1607 01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:06,400 because if we're not adding polls we 1608 01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:07,440 would just use the polls that are 1609 01:15:07,440 --> 01:15:10,320 already there that sort of thing then um 1610 01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:12,920 and certainly I think it's we could 1611 01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:14,239 perhaps include as part of the 1612 01:15:14,239 --> 01:15:16,960 contingency um that that we have there 1613 01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:18,400 um but as soon as we started adding 1614 01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:19,960 polls things like that then that number 1615 01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:22,760 grows exponentially so we're trying to 1616 01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:25,239 to keep it at a reasonable level and it 1617 01:15:25,239 --> 01:15:27,920 doesn't preclude Water and Sewer uh 1618 01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:29,960 being under those roads it's just that 1619 01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:33,080 this grant would not fall so it was 1620 01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:36,280 strictly road infrastructure and and 1621 01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:38,040 that's where we we kind of looked at 1622 01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:39,440 from that perspective and there's 1623 01:15:39,440 --> 01:15:42,120 there's nothing to say that couldn't 1624 01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:44,120 kind of put a half meter on one side two 1625 01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:46,280 meters on the other uh from a shoulder 1626 01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:48,320 perspective to be able to then provide 1627 01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:50,360 the multi-use path those types of things 1628 01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:53,840 but overall 8 and 1/2 meter WID and then 1629 01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:56,320 we can work with it that so the 8 and a 1630 01:15:56,320 --> 01:15:59,159 half meter is paved okay yeah perfect 1631 01:15:59,159 --> 01:16:00,520 thank 1632 01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:04,719 you Campbell Shar um not knowing about 1633 01:16:04,719 --> 01:16:06,239 roads do we have to do any kind of 1634 01:16:06,239 --> 01:16:08,080 environmental assessment that there 1635 01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:10,159 absolutely anytime you build a road uh 1636 01:16:10,159 --> 01:16:11,719 it's you have to do environmental 1637 01:16:11,719 --> 01:16:15,800 assessment um and then uh when depending 1638 01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:17,760 on the materials that you're taking out 1639 01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:20,639 uh that will dictate what you can reuse 1640 01:16:20,639 --> 01:16:23,400 or what would you put that into the 1641 01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:25,560 grant um it's not something that's 1642 01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:28,000 permitted in there again it' be covered 1643 01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:32,120 by the 125,000 but in terms of the uh 1644 01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:33,840 actual 1645 01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:36,199 um studies and things like that then 1646 01:16:36,199 --> 01:16:38,840 then it wouldn't be included in there 1647 01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:41,520 and this is the town of Prescott's 1648 01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:44,840 road so we'd be maintaining it correct 1649 01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:47,560 and if we had this huge bill from an 1650 01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:49,199 environmental assessment we'd be paying 1651 01:16:49,199 --> 01:16:50,679 for that or would Augusta share with 1652 01:16:50,679 --> 01:16:54,679 them uh so roads that are in prto um we 1653 01:16:54,679 --> 01:16:56,760 would pay 1654 01:16:56,760 --> 01:17:00,760 for so regardless of of what uh road 1655 01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:02,639 that you build even when we when we 1656 01:17:02,639 --> 01:17:04,600 replace roads there's a process that we 1657 01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,080 go through from an environmental 1658 01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:09,760 standpoint okay thank 1659 01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:13,520 you coun con thank you mayor Shanker uh 1660
