00:09:25,839 --> 00:09:29,640
Oh, you changed the format.

00:09:33,131 --> 00:09:35,151
[snorts]

00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,480
» It is me.

6
00:10:06,399 --> 00:10:10,522
Please turn your ringers off. [laughter]

[snorts]

8
00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:14,880
» I did that the other day.

9
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,399
» Has he finally learned?

10
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,600
» Never turned my ringer on and I had to

11
00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:18,800
turn it on because I was expecting a

12
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,560
phone call and I was away from my phone

13
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,720
and I forgot to turn it off and I was in

14
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:25,839

15
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,839
like, [laughter] that's me.

16
00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:34,360
» [laughter]

17
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,360
» Why is this happening?

18
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:53,839
» I [clears throat] want to call the

19
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,360

20
00:10:53,839 --> 00:10:57,360

best interest of the municipality. Uh,

00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,600
just a little bit of background, our

49
00:12:01,839 --> 00:12:05,680
municipal tax sale is set by the

50
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,480

and three mobile homes uh with

54
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,079
delinquent taxes on them. Uh we're

00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:19,839
working with homeowners directly uh

56
00:12:18,079 --> 00:12:22,320

actively come in and uh pay off those

58
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:28,720
delinquents. Um we're pretty much uh on

59
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,200
pace with uh the average of how it's

60
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:33,680
worked in previous years. So, uh, ask

61
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:37,120

» I do have a question. Um, I just wanted

67
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,040
to make sure I looked on the town

68
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,720
website and I don't see anything on

69
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,079
there. There's there's some old

70
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,279
information on there. Can we just make

71
00:12:52,079 --> 00:12:55,120

00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,680
local paper, too.

77
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:07,200
» Any other questions? Call the question.

78
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:09,680
All in favor? That is carried.

79
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:12,160
Okay.

So, the next one is number seven under

82
00:13:13,839 --> 00:13:20,160
council reports today, I just want to

83
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:22,384
make a little presentation to uh

84
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,240
somebody who's in the crowd today.

85
00:13:22,384 --> 00:13:26,480

00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:29,644
So, I would like to make a presentation.

wires.

92
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,999
» Who [clears throat] would ever trip on

93
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,019
wires?

94
00:13:43,999 --> 00:13:46,019
[laughter]

95
00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:49,800

» Thank you very much.

106
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:28,240

will let me.

108
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,959
» Thank you very much.

109
00:14:39,675 --> 00:14:41,695
[clears throat]

110
00:14:42,079 --> 00:14:45,760

112
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:52,000
Willis. I don't have much to report, Mr.

113
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:54,240
Mayor. Um, other than the ICE is back in

114
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,639
and, uh, POSI starts this weekend.

115
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:59,279
» Excellent. Councelor Gold.

116
00:14:56,639 --> 00:15:00,720
» Um, just community forest meetings and I

117
00:14:59,279 --> 00:15:02,560
was just wondering if I could ask if

118
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,680
there's been an update on that, if we

119
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:07,040
have a follow-up meeting yet.

120
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,199
» That's it. Nothing else.

121
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,800
» Uh, Councelor

122
00:15:09,199 --> 00:15:14,320
Elliot,

123
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:16,880
» Uh, museum society meeting is the only,

124
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:20,399
uh, meeting I've been to in the last

125
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:23,120
week. Not a lot to report. Uh summer

126
00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:25,680
students have uh their hours have come

127
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:31,560
to an end and things are starting to

128
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:31,560
wind down for the typical offse season.

129
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:37,440
» And you did attend something else.

130
00:15:34,079 --> 00:15:41,680
» Oh yes, thank you. Yes, I did uh support

131
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:44,880
the Christian Arts Council by attending

132
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:47,600
one of the evening concerts of the

133
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:49,759
Copper Valley Music

134
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:52,079
Festival. That was great. Uh sat there

135
00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:54,320
in the rain with you and a couple other

136
00:15:52,079 --> 00:15:56,240
people and yeah, actually it was it was

137
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,440
a great concert. I have to say I really

138
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,279
enjoyed it.

139
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,279
» Great venue, too.

140
00:15:59,279 --> 00:16:03,839
» Yeah, that is a really great venue.

141
00:16:01,279 --> 00:16:10,040
Council ML

142
00:16:03,839 --> 00:16:10,040
uh 37 prospective players in town.

143
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:17,519
Hopefully we can try and do just that a

144
00:16:14,639 --> 00:16:19,519
little bit better than we did last year.

145
00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:22,800
But uh the other thing I can't get over

146
00:16:19,519 --> 00:16:26,639
is as a driver on the work going on in

147
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:31,199
terms of the community services or the

148
00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:33,600
public court in the police station and

149
00:16:31,199 --> 00:16:37,440
it just seems like things are going like

150
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:39,600
it's it's just nice to and then you know

151
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:42,560
doesn't hurt business that bad to have a

152
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:44,079
lot of workers having pain. So

153
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,800
» Anyway

154
00:16:44,079 --> 00:16:48,000
just in my mind it's just a nice

155
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,480
Randy and George.

156
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:53,600
» Okay. Thank you.

157
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:55,440
I hear your mic's not on. [laughter]

158
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,639
» It's right on top.

159
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,160
» Correct. It's not on.

160
00:16:56,639 --> 00:17:01,866
» Oh, there we go.

161
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,866
» So, okay. Can you do that? [laughter]

162
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:10,319
» Yeah. Um,

163
00:17:07,919 --> 00:17:12,240
okay. I'll uh go back to the last

164
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:15,839
meeting here.

165
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:20,640
Um, yeah. The weekend of the 21st uh to

166
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:23,919
23rd was crazy busy in town. Um attended

167
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:26,720
the pickle ball tournament, the barrel

168
00:17:23,919 --> 00:17:29,520
racing, uh multiple different times. I

169
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:31,520
was at the uh the music festival. Uh

170
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:35,360
rolling barrage came through town. Got

171
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:36,720
to wave at them as they went through. Um

172
00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:38,400
apparently there was a golf tournament

173
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,480
at the same time. I don't know where

174
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,480
everybody stayed, but there was like

175
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:45,679
hundreds of people in town. There was I

176
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,480
think almost 200 participants for the uh

177
00:17:45,679 --> 00:17:50,240
for [clears throat] the pickle ball

178
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:52,880
tournament alone. Um and then there was

179
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,400
I think or over around a hundred just

180
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:57,440
over 100 participants at the barrel

181
00:17:54,400 --> 00:18:00,640
racing. So super busy weekend. Um

182
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:03,200
amazing weekend had us hopping all over

183
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:05,679
the place. Um that was also the same

184
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:09,039
weekend we had that massive 12-hour long

185
00:18:05,679 --> 00:18:10,480
thunder storm and uh I see Ed in the

186
00:18:09,039 --> 00:18:13,760
back of the room. I just want to say

187
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:15,840
thanks to Ed and the team from Princeton

188
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,960
uh with Princeton Fire Department that

189
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,600
went out with the Headley Fire

190
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,120
Department with uh the BC Wildfire and

191
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:24,559
walked their way into one of the fires

192
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:26,000
and and uh helped contain that. So,

193
00:18:24,559 --> 00:18:27,840
thank you for that because there was I

194
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,840
think six or seven fire starts that

195
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:32,559
night and then more popped up the next

196
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,320
day and and had everybody jumping. So,

197
00:18:32,559 --> 00:18:35,919
uh Tulleain Fire Department was out

198
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,320
working, everybody was out working. It

199
00:18:35,919 --> 00:18:41,039
was a it was a great team effort by

200
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:43,679
everybody. So, um, super busy weekend

201
00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:46,160
that weekend. Um,

202
00:18:43,679 --> 00:18:48,480
and then, uh, what else did we do here?

203
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:52,640
Um,

204
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:55,200
just trying to find the date. Um,

205
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:58,000
yeah. Oh, also on uh the Friday the

206
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,760
21st, uh, we had a a Forest Corporation

207
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:03,440
meeting and then earlier in the day, I

208
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:06,400
also had a meeting with Tota BC about uh

209
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:09,840
funding for SVPS.

210
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:12,880
Um, I took some time off last week for

211
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:16,640
first time. We went up to Manning Park

212
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:18,480
um for a family family weekend. Uh, it

213
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,320
was awesome. If you ever get a chance to

214
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:24,400
stay up there, one of their cabins are

215
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:26,080
they're pretty awesome. Um, then we

216
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,799
while I was there, we also had a uh

217
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:32,400
update on the fire from the regional

218
00:19:28,799 --> 00:19:35,520
district and camera. Um

219
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:39,200
and then uh yeah, last weekend was

220
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:41,360
somewhat quiet and uh yeah, we're here

221
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:44,320
today. So earlier today I uh just before

222
00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:47,120
this meeting, I met with the uh team

223
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:50,559
that's working on the flood plan or not

224
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:52,640
flood plan but the flood advocacy for

225
00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:55,039
Merritt, Princeton,

226
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:57,200
Hope, Chillowak, and Abbottzford through

227
00:19:55,039 --> 00:19:59,840
the corridor uh group that we're working

228
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,360
on. Um we did finally get a response

229
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:05,200
from the prime minister's office which

230
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:08,080
is positive um stating which minister is

231
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:10,480
um been tasked with uh kind of taking

232
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:13,840
the lead on the infrastructure

233
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:16,720
resiliency plan. So um we're working on

234
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:19,919
a a followup and and how to to work with

235
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:22,400
them on that. Uh we will be speaking at

236
00:20:19,919 --> 00:20:26,240
UBCM. uh Mayor Gats and I will be

237
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:32,880
speaking at UBCM talking about the uh

238
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:35,120
the the advocacy work and the need to um

239
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:38,320
I guess just the work we're doing on

240
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:40,880
trying to get Ottawa's attention on it

241
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,799
being not just a you know not just

242
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,559
needing dikes but protection of the

243
00:20:42,799 --> 00:20:47,840
economic corridors that are Highway

244
00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:49,919
Three and and the Cocaala and and uh the

245
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:52,374
how they converge and hope and and move

246
00:20:49,919 --> 00:20:53,520
through the coast. And without without

247
00:20:52,374 --> 00:20:56,000
[clears throat] our communities, there

248
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:58,320
is no there is no economics in British

249
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:02,240
Columbia. So um that's starting to gain

250
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:04,559
traction. Uh last week uh while I was

251
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:07,280
away, Lyle went to my place and they

252
00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:09,919
went to um and talked to the Suriri

253
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,760
Board of Trade. um as a group we were

254
00:21:09,919 --> 00:21:14,159
invited down there with uh along with

255
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:16,960
Minister Kelly Green of Emergency

256
00:21:14,159 --> 00:21:19,600
Management BC and and uh kind of gave

257
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,799
our pitch to the uh the Siri board of

258
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,520
trade which you know is one of the

259
00:21:20,799 --> 00:21:24,960
biggest in the in the province. So, we

260
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,720
are getting traction and people are

261
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,200
starting to pay attention and I think

262
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,600
that is going to hopefully move the

263
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:34,640
needle a little bit on on the need for

264
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:37,039
uh flood mitigation funding because as

265
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,799
we know it's been

266
00:21:37,039 --> 00:21:41,360
not well supported by Ottawa at this

267
00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:43,039
point. So, still working on that. So,

268
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:43,679
that's my report.

269
00:21:43,039 --> 00:21:46,080
» Yeah.

270
00:21:43,679 --> 00:21:49,280
» Do you know if we have a meeting with

271
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:52,640
Minister of Ed in in UBCM?

272
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:56,720
» No. No. We so we met with I um Jared and

273
00:21:52,640 --> 00:22:00,720
I met and Sean and uh Smoking Valley. We

274
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:02,559
met with um water land natural resource

275
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:05,039
minister. We had about an hour and a

276
00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:07,520
half long lunch with her. Um pled our

277
00:22:05,039 --> 00:22:10,000
case about permitting and and work on

278
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:14,720
the river. And then was it two weeks

279
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:17,280
before that we met with uh our emergency

280
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:19,520
management team and Jared and I met with

281
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,200
uh Minister Kelly Green here in town. We

282
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,600
took her down to the river. We showed

283
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:27,760
her some stuff. And that the province is

284
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:30,480
100% behind the need to do the work that

285
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:33,679
we're doing. It's they need that federal

286
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:35,120
funding to to push it forward. And um so

287
00:22:33,679 --> 00:22:37,200
that's where we're kind of focusing our

288
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:39,440
our attention right now is on Ottawa to

289
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,120
get Ottawa to finally chip in and

290
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,520
support the province because the

291
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:44,640
province is behind all of us. um they

292
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,760
just don't have the funds to

293
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:50,240
» What I'm getting at is the

294
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,360
information we keep receiving terms of

295
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,240
our school

296
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:54,640
» Oh that one yeah

297
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:57,039
» Problems and that sort of thing and just

298
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:59,120
it would have been nice to be able to

299
00:22:57,039 --> 00:23:02,400
reiterate what we're always saying that

300
00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:05,039
we want to be realigned in terms of our

301
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:07,039
our school district

302
00:23:05,039 --> 00:23:09,440
» And we can we can write a letter to the

303
00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:12,080
minister separate from that with those

304
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:14,640
letters that are going to coming to us

305
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,559
if we want and uh send those out. So,

306
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,200
» Perfect.

307
00:23:16,559 --> 00:23:21,440
» If there's nothing else, I'll move on to

308
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,280
section 8 correspondence receive and

309
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:27,760
file. We have three letters there. 8.1,

310
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:30,640
8.2, and 8.3. Um 8.2 is a lot. There's a

311
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,960
bunch of letters that uh Sila has sent

312
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:36,640
out on behalf of the organization. The

313
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:39,919
changes this year with SIGA was due to

314
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:41,440
the changes within the way UBCM is doing

315
00:23:39,919 --> 00:23:45,039
resolutions

316
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:48,159
that put more onus on uh SILA to do more

317
00:23:45,039 --> 00:23:50,080
advocacy work and uh those letters are

318
00:23:48,159 --> 00:23:51,919
are part of that. So

319
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:55,520
» And those meetings as well.

320
00:23:51,919 --> 00:23:58,159
» Those are some of those meetings. Yeah.

321
00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:00,000
» Okay. So that can I get a motion to

322
00:23:58,159 --> 00:24:00,880
receive and file 8.1.

323
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,440
» So move.

324
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:06,960
» Thank you.

325
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:08,640
Willis, any questions? All in favor?

326
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,840
Carried.

327
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:13,440
The next one is a correspondence action

328
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:17,120
requested and it's a letter from

329
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:20,720
Princeton family services um

330
00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:24,480
for a services society emergency weather

331
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:26,240
response shelter for 2026 2027.

332
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,400
So this is something that has been in

333
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,799
the works for

334
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:34,559
how many years Ed?

335
00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:37,039
three, four at least. Um, I'd say

336
00:24:34,559 --> 00:24:40,720
probably since right after the flood.

337
00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:44,960
Um, we've had numerous meetings over the

338
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:46,400
years with uh, um, BC Housing and and

339
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,120
the provincial agencies that are

340
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:51,520
responsible. Princeton family services

341
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:55,120
and Princeton uh, community services are

342
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:59,679
working together and uh, they've they've

343
00:24:55,120 --> 00:25:02,159
kind of found a location. So,

344
00:24:59,679 --> 00:25:04,080
» Possible location. Um, it's still up to

345
00:25:02,159 --> 00:25:06,960
BC Housing whether or not they will work

346
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:10,480
with them on it. So, so there's there's

347
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:15,520
a letter that's attached and uh

348
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:17,919
yeah, so if you Ed's here to support as

349
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:21,279
much as he can on this. Um, if you have

350
00:25:17,919 --> 00:25:25,520
any questions about it, uh,

351
00:25:21,279 --> 00:25:28,159
I talked to Chelsea yesterday and, uh,

352
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:30,799
um, family or community too many

353
00:25:28,159 --> 00:25:33,520
services. Community services has an

354
00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:36,720
empty, uh, temporary unit up at the

355
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:39,520
industrial park that, uh, they are

356
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:41,679
looking at possibly using as a temporary

357
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:44,080
shelter. So it would be out of the

358
00:25:41,679 --> 00:25:46,240
downtown core in that neighborhood and

359
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,400
moved up to another location so that it

360
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,799
doesn't interfere with existing

361
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,400
programming.

362
00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:53,919
» I was just going to ask though because

363
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,640
in the letter they were asking for

364
00:25:53,919 --> 00:25:57,440
suggestions on a location.

365
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,120
» Yeah. So

366
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,600
» And in the last couple years we've

367
00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:03,919
suggested numerous different locations.

368
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,200
Um and every time BC Housing when we met

369
00:26:03,919 --> 00:26:06,720
with them and I'm going to throw BC

370
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,640
Housing under the bus a little bit.

371
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,440
Every time we've met with them they said

372
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,799
don't [clears throat] worry about it.

373
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,480
we'll we'll reno it, we'll do this,

374
00:26:10,799 --> 00:26:14,320
we'll do that. And then every single

375
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:17,279
time we think it's a done deal, they've

376
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:19,279
come back and said no. And uh this time

377
00:26:17,279 --> 00:26:22,720
around, hope we're we're more hopeful

378
00:26:19,279 --> 00:26:25,039
that this will work. It would um um if

379
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,640
this location is accepted by BC Housing,

380
00:26:25,039 --> 00:26:29,360
it would, like I said, it would move it

381
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,720
out of the family services um building

382
00:26:29,360 --> 00:26:33,039
and away from their programming that

383
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,799
they're currently utilizing. And

384
00:26:33,039 --> 00:26:37,039
hopefully that would mean they could uh

385
00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:39,120
give up some space that's extremely

386
00:26:37,039 --> 00:26:41,520
expensive up at Riverside and move it

387
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:42,320
back into their location.

388
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,400
» Okay.

389
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,200
» They want a building, right? Not just a

390
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,440
lot.

391
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,799
» Yeah, just a Yeah, they would. BC

392
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,640
Housing would Well, they're already

393
00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:53,520
leasing the building, so it should be a

394
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:55,360
pretty straightforward thing if BC

395
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,279
Housing wants to go for it. So, they're

396
00:26:55,360 --> 00:26:59,600
just looking for support from council

397
00:26:57,279 --> 00:27:03,360
right now to

398
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:06,159
» To move forward and um show BC housing

399
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:06,559
that uh we're we're all on the same page

400
00:27:06,159 --> 00:27:08,559
here.

401
00:27:06,559 --> 00:27:10,880
» I read the letter as being they will

402
00:27:08,559 --> 00:27:12,480
take up the program on still continue

403
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,799
with it, but that they just were looking

404
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,159
for suggestions and

405
00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:17,600
» On location. Yeah.

406
00:27:16,159 --> 00:27:18,880
» Mainly and I didn't know of any

407
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,520
locations we had that would be

408
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,080
available.

409
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,919
» Yeah. So, I mean, we can just um the

410
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:26,000
motion could simply be for staff to

411
00:27:23,919 --> 00:27:29,600
continue to work with BC or with

412
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:32,480
Princeton Family Services uh on this.

413
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:35,279
» Yeah, I would make that motion.

414
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:37,360
» And then, um I'd probably also include

415
00:27:35,279 --> 00:27:39,200
that we would write a if any letter

416
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:41,679
needs to be written in support, then

417
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,000
» Of course, mayor CEO is authorized to do

418
00:27:41,679 --> 00:27:44,480
so.

419
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:47,520
» For sure.

420
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:50,400
» You got that, Mark?

421
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:53,360
George Elliot is moving it, seconded by

422
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:55,279
councelor Gold. Questions?

423
00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:57,679
Okay, no questions. I'll call the

424
00:27:55,279 --> 00:28:00,000
question all in favor. That is carried.

425
00:27:57,679 --> 00:28:01,840
Thank you.

426
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,480
Um,

427
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:07,279
so there's no new business. That would

428
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:09,760
take us down to 12.1. Motion to close

429
00:28:07,279 --> 00:28:11,679
the meeting uh be closed for the public

430
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,919
or for the purpose of considering the

431
00:28:11,679 --> 00:28:16,000
following. 90.1E the acquisition

432
00:28:13,919 --> 00:28:17,840
disposition or expropriaration of land

433
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,520
or improvements if the council considers

434
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,799
that disclosure could reasonably be

435
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,039
accepted to harm the interest of the

436
00:28:20,799 --> 00:28:28,320
municipality.

437
00:28:23,039 --> 00:28:30,240
» Thank you by Mlan Willis. All in favor

438
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:34,600
carried. Thank you. With that we will go

439

into closed. James

smoking.

441
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,359
Uh,
