[4:03] All in favor?
No question.
[4:19] » [clears throat]
[4:23] » Agenda item 4.3
December 25
[4:30] moved by Earl and seconded by Jeff
resolved that the updated unaudied
[4:36] financials as of December the 31st 2025
be accepted as presented. Any questions?
[4:44] » I'd like to speak on that. So, um,
you've been presented with an updated
[4:49] December 31st on audited financials.
Some key things to look at. Um, your
[4:54] cash on hand at year end was 400,000,
which is a nice change. But, as I
[5:00] reminded you guys before, you should
always look at your due to from because
[5:04] that means that's money that we owe to
our capital fund. And you owe about
[5:08] 1.167
million to your reserves. So that
[5:12] 400,000 is a little um there's an
asterisk beside it, that's for sure. Uh
[5:18] your taxes on roll at year end was
193,000. I think that's a pretty good
[5:23] number. Uh that's the amount of people
owing us still for back taxes. Last
[5:29] meeting you guys passed a resolution
initiating tax service. So now they're
[5:32] out trying to collect all of 2024
amounts owing. We have seen some
[5:36] positive success that way as well. Um,
moving beyond the balance sheet into the
[5:42] income statement, uh, a lot of your
lines are pretty close to what you were
[5:47] expected.
There wasn't really too many things to
[5:50] really highlight or bring to your
attention on the revenue side. Um, a
[5:56] reminder, your miscellaneous revenue is
in the negative because of the
[5:59] reimbursement of uh
a mobility grant because even though
[6:07] there are standards you're supposed to
recognize when there are conditional
[6:11] grants, it was initially recorded as
revenue. So, because we had to pay it
[6:14] back, it had to be against the revenues.
Um, and then rolling into the expense
[6:20] lines, just remind you, there's the
budget, the actual, and then the
[6:23] variances. I'm still working on Munisoft
to try to figure out what's in these
[6:27] committed lines. Um I haven't been able
to figure out what they are yet, but
[6:31] they're just small immaterial items. Um
just some small notes. Uh we changed our
[6:36] internet provider, which I thank you
guys for. Our bills went down and our
[6:41] internet's extremely reliable now. So we
did save a little bit of money when it
[6:45] came to those kind of utility costs, but
for the most part, a lot of the items
[6:48] are the same. One big thing I kind of
wanted to ask you guys about was you
[6:53] budgeted $50,000 for grants but only
allocated 22,000
[6:58] leaving 27,000 still in the budget for
grants. Was something missed or because
[7:05] looking at previous years too it was
very similar that way whether it was a a
[7:10] $50,000 budget line or $40,000 budget
line. You guys never really allocated
[7:15] your grant expenses up to what you were
budgeting. I think that's what we refer
[7:19] to as our VLTP fund and that's the money
we take out for our little ball teams
[7:23] and alls and those things. That's what
that line is about I think.
[7:28] » But unfortunately BLT revenue hasn't
existed for the last 12 years.
[7:32] » No, but we refer to it as that. I know
it's a different title now, but that's
[7:35] what we call when we get when we get a
request from like you have a request in
[7:38] there right now for some money. That's
where that money would come from. But
[7:41] you got 235,000 in provincial operating
funds which is now a single basket which
[7:47] was introduced with Pallister back in
200
[7:51] 17ish.
>> So you
[7:55] » but it's it's not right
terminology.
[7:59] » Yeah, we're just using
>> we we use the wrong terminology bringing
[8:03] in
>> but Palister put all the grants together
[8:05] into a single basket
>> where you 135,000.
[8:10] We're just
>> You budget 50,000, but you notoriously
[8:13] spend less than even half what you
budget.
[8:15] » I think this year it's cuz you uh you
guys haven't voted on the Franklin Hall
[8:18] getting that extra 20. I think that's
what happened there.
[8:23] » Very
[laughter]
[8:28] wrong with that.
>> But thanks.
[8:33] rolling into protective services. Um the
fire department salary was missed by
[8:38] about $6,000, but that's okay because
there were other lines that you budgeted
[8:42] for that didn't go as high. One of them
being animal and pest control, but you
[8:47] have to remember we got to keep those
separate because this year I'm going to
[8:51] be starting to break down your accounts
again because previously everything got
[8:54] kind of slammed together. So right now,
as you guys see, every month we have to
[8:58] pay for those rat traps. And right now
that rat trap is being called a
[9:01] protective service expense when in my
world that's not a protective service
[9:05] expense. That's an environmental health
that gets expensed to the operations of
[9:09] your waste disposal grounds. So just be
aware that um when we start moving into
[9:14] the budget itself, a lot of these
numbers are going to have substantial
[9:18] changes and moving around. It doesn't
mean these expenses are going away.
[9:21] They're just being allocated to
different categories. Um, another line
[9:26] was council budgeted $10,000 last year
for bridges, but it doesn't look like we
[9:31] incurred any expenses.
>> So, unless something was missed.
[9:36] » No, we didn't do anything to bridge last
year. Just got missed.
[9:40] » No work was done. Put it that way.
>> Okay.
[9:42] » It should have been, but no,
>> we were covered in public work
[9:46] department did some repairs according to
that uh list that we got from peer
[9:52] solution years ago. pubert went out
there did some of those projects I think
[9:56] on their own uh but how many they got
done I can't comment on that because I
[10:00] don't know what happened
>> and now be aware that next year your
[10:03] bridge [clears throat] expense is going
to be high again because of the grow
[10:06] grant we have to contribute 50% of the
expenses so those funds are now going to
[10:11] appear as your bridges expense for the
matching 50%
[10:15] » so that [clears throat] grand put
towards that going forward or no
[10:19] » no no December 31st poof it's gone it
all slams into one account and it's over
[10:24] and done with.
>> Okay.
[10:26] » But um if you had extra money and not
owing the capital funds, we could look
[10:33] at making that kind of contribution to
the bridge reserve, but um I would not
[10:38] recommend it at this time. Uh when it
came to uh repairs and maintenance on
[10:43] items, your as you're aware, your mowing
and tractor repair maintenance expenses
[10:48] were through the roof, but almost
everything else was substantially lower,
[10:53] right? So you you went 31,000 over
budget on your mower and tractor, but
[10:57] you were 28,000 under budget on your
grers. You were a couple thousand under
[11:03] on your CAT. You were 7,000 under on
your low bed and semi. Um, so those
[11:09] things kind of wash out. So I know there
was concern that the mowing cost so
[11:12] much, but actually all your other
operations and transportation services
[11:17] had substantially less
>> for sure.
[11:20] » I just want before it goes too far, was
the the work not getting done on those
[11:24] bridges was it do you think it was
because the transition between you and
[11:28] or not or do you think it's not enough
time?
[11:31] » I got no comment on that. I don't know.
I don't know.
[11:34] » I don't know what what happened in post
works. I have no idea. There was
[11:38] information put forward. What happened
with that? I cannot comment.
[11:42] » How many bridges have we got left?
>> Um
[11:46] there was 10 10 sites in total to do.
Some of them were small sites to do. So
[11:53] what got done? I don't know. It's the
major ones that we have two on today's
[11:57] agenda that we're talking about. Those
are the major ones. And I think I have
[12:00] to go back on the the sheet, I guess,
and see what else. I think I have some
[12:05] budgeted for 2027 as well.
>> Yeah, it's it's an attachment later on
[12:11] to the agenda.
>> Would the bridge repair include the
[12:14] material cuz I think we've had a
discussion here that we didn't have any
[12:17] spare bridge planks last year or
whatever. Would like to come out and we
[12:21] maybe allowed some money to buy some
spare bridge planks. Would that come out
[12:24] of that?
>> It should have been expensive that
[12:26] account.
>> Yeah. So, we maybe we never bought them
[12:29] is what I was thinking or it was expens.
>> That's what I'm wondering. We
[12:35] » did.
>> What year?
[12:38] » Last year I thought we got them.
>> So maybe [clears throat]
[12:40] » like even that repair we did on the old
highway.
[12:43] » Oh, we called that uh patrol repair.
>> Okay. I didn't know what it got called.
[12:48] » We did that or road repair cuz the hole
was in the road, not the bridge.
[12:53] » Well, I say it concrete. So
>> where that hole appeared?
[12:59] » Yeah, it was right up against the
concrete of the bridge.
[13:03] Just here's the concrete and then right
up beside it washed all underneath and
[13:08] took all that gravel
>> on the north side.
[13:12] » So on the subside
only I just I still got pictures of it
[13:17] looked like a manhole somebody put there
in the middle of the road.
[13:20] » Yeah. And I looked both ways and you
could see [clears throat] a big tone
[13:24] going down both directions, east and
west.
[13:27] » Yeah. Yeah. And that's why we were
$6,000 over [clears throat] budget on
[13:31] our materials. So, I guess really, yeah,
you could reallocate those expenses over
[13:35] to the bridge
>> cuz there's actually a bridge problem
[13:39] and it's going to be a problem again
because we didn't have rock to put in it
[13:43] at the time. We just need to get the
road open and it was on the weekend and
[13:48] » yeah,
broke it out and then put heavy rock in
[13:52] and [clears throat] then put the
>> just on the old highway by um
[14:01] place that was there's repairs. I
remember
[14:07] just a bunch of work.
[14:12] » Yeah. And continuing on uh your waste
disposal ground expenses went about
[14:18] 8,000 over budget, but uh I think a lot
of that had to contribute to both um
[14:24] having elk ranch man. I think that is
where the majority of those expenses go.
[14:29] But be aware your waste disposal grounds
expenses are going to keep going up
[14:33] substantially as we move along. When it
came to your cemeteries,
[14:38] um you were $6,000 under budget. So, uh,
most of that came from just our
[14:45] maintenance expense, but again, we could
look and move the some of the summer
[14:48] student expenses that would have been
gone to transportation services down to
[14:52] environment or economic environmental
development. But, um, and I just want to
[14:57] point out your NAPD bill was only
$9,400.
[15:03] We should be very thankful to have such
a planning district at such a low
[15:07] expense because you should if you didn't
have them you'd immediately have to add
[15:12] a zero behind that at minimum. So, um,
when I get those NAPD bills, I quickly
[15:18] sign and get the check made because that
is one of the best deals this RM has
[15:24] with a municipal collaboration
is the volume of services they provide
[15:30] at such a high quality for such a low
cost is outstanding. And they do they
[15:36] don't just do the planning, they don't
just do the interactions with people.
[15:40] when we have complaints about things
happening that is questionable, they're
[15:44] able to assist us with those matters.
They're talking to the rateayers and
[15:48] investigating and doing those kind of
things. So, um I just really wanted to
[15:52] highlight that because that is
outstanding. Um your recreation and
[15:57] culture bill was only half of what it
was going to be, but a lot of that came
[16:02] from the Kellwood skating rink. So, um,
be aware that that expense is not going
[16:09] to go away and will probably increase as
well. There were a few capital projects
[16:16] that you guys budgeted for that weren't
completed, but we'll go a little more
[16:20] into that when we start getting into our
budgetary deliberations and seeing if
[16:24] we're going to slide it over into the
2026 capital plan or what exactly was
[16:29] going on with that. Um, as for your
Kellwood utility, later we'll be passing
[16:34] third reading on a utility rate
increase. So, um, be aware, you know, it
[16:39] hasn't been [clears throat] our our
income statement shows at the end of the
[16:44] year we were up $2,000, but in reality,
once you start applying the
[16:48] amortization, like the depreciation on
all your equipment and things like that,
[16:54] the Kellwood utility is running at a
negative. So that's why we'll be
[16:57] increasing the rates that you guys
proposed back in 2024 that you started
[17:01] in 2023. And then same thing for Eden.
We're due for another utility rate
[17:06] study. And we're going to be basically
doing the same thing again on the Eden
[17:10] side. And we'll have to keep in mind
that utility funds are kept completely
[17:15] separate from the operations and both of
those departments or functions are doing
[17:21] capital projects. We currently have the
cowwood water plant assessment underway
[17:26] right now and that is just an expensive
document telling you everything that's
[17:30] wrong with it. Then it's still on us to
do all those capital repairs. And then
[17:34] as for the Eden one, uh I think it was
only last meeting or so the town of Deep
[17:38] Wall provided us notice that their
capital upgrade is still planned. It
[17:42] didn't happen in 2025. It's going to
happen in 2026. You're going to get the
[17:45] capital bill in 2026. So just be aware
that um odds are both sides of the
[17:52] utilities will be going up. Um when it
comes to your capital fund balance
[17:56] sheet, we do hold 2 million in reserve.
So that's um a great sign that you guys
[18:03] have been able to save very well. Um
then it's just the bank wrecks and those
[18:08] kind of items that I have no comment on.
So thanks for letting me just kind of
[18:12] run through your year-end financials
right now. And like I said, we're going
[18:15] to be talking about a lot of those items
more as we move forward into budgetary
[18:19] deliberations.
So I think you're ready to call for the
[18:23] vote if there's no questions.
>> No questions for Jordan.
[18:28] All those
cars
[18:41] item 7.1 communications
move by Jeff seconded by Ron that
[18:47] communications item be received as
presented MRN
[18:54] aggregate mining and transportation fees
2020 2026
[18:58] letter to municipalities 2026 property
assessment levy long-term and continue
[19:05] care association with Manitoba
membership request
[19:09] and RCMP marriage report and prime stats
uh I do want to highlight the first item
[19:16] that MNR aggregate mining and
transportation fees we introduced that
[19:20] bylaw last meeting that we'll be giving
third reading to that we need that and
[19:26] those upgraded numbers to then charge
for aggregate permits and fees. Um so
[19:32] I'm glad that the province was able to
get this done in time so we could have
[19:35] the updated numbers cuz currently you're
using 2023 numbers and as you're aware
[19:39] um a lot of fees and charges are always
going up yearbyear. So this at least
[19:43] brings us back into line and par with
all the other municipalities. The
[19:47] assessment levy is something you kind of
have no control over. I researched it
[19:51] doesn't look like you guys are currently
members of the long-term and continuing
[19:55] care association of Manitoba. So, I just
sent it to communication, but should you
[20:00] ever choose, we can always be a member
of them as well. They're seeking
[20:04] membership. And just in quick review of
the RCMP report, I didn't really see
[20:08] anything within it to really bring to
council's attention at this time, but as
[20:12] the staff sergeant has indicated, he's
always willing to come and meet with you
[20:16] guys. So whenever you want him to appear
as a reception delegation, you guys can
[20:20] just give me a heads up. Even when I
send out the package on Friday, the week
[20:23] before, if you're saying, you know, I
want to I want to show up. I'm sure if
[20:27] he's available, he will most certainly
come. Is there anything you guys need me
[20:32] to follow up on communication items or
is it ready to just be accepted as
[20:35] presented?
>> I wanted to ask a quick
[20:39] » I wanted to ask a quick question about
municipal assessment. Yeah. The levy.
[20:43] » So does the school division have to pay
that kind of a levy as well to the
[20:47] provincial government?
>> Oh, I have no idea. I don't think so.
[20:52] » I didn't bother putting the uh school
division levies into your package cuz we
[20:57] don't have to and it just gets people
worked up. But despite what our premier
[21:02] is doing and the extra funds that he's
publicly allocated to school divisions
[21:07] and the increase in the HTAC, I'm seeing
double digit increases in total funds
[21:14] collected from your school division.
>> So, um, which is always hard on a
[21:20] municipality, right? Because people
don't look at their tax bill as a
[21:24] municipal and education, even though
they're clearly separated, they only
[21:27] care about that bottom line. And right
now, yeah, at least Beautiful Plains is
[21:32] over 10%.
So it just keep that in mind, right? For
[21:38] every thousand, that's another $100 in
education levy that's collected. And a
[21:43] lot of people pay a lot more than $1,000
in education levies. So the pressure is
[21:48] always put onto the municipality because
we're the ones who have to collect the
[21:51] funds for them on their behalf.
So, I can't answer whether or not they
[21:57] pay an assessment levy, but I think we
only do.
[22:02] » Can I ask a question about the uh
membership in the long-term care? Do
[22:08] they request from us?
I don't recall in my time on council
[22:15] ever being asked to be a member of that
association. Oh,
[22:19] » okay.
>> I thought last year they did it.
[22:22] » I just received their request. I look
and see if you guys ever paid money to
[22:25] them before. There was no money paid to
them.
[22:27] » Yeah.
>> So then I just put it as communication
[22:30] because um I don't really have any
precedents to go off of. But if you guys
[22:35] wish, we could most certainly become a
member.
[22:38] » Just like know what the costs were and
[22:44] » maybe it's nothing but a second. I'll
tell you in a minute. It's in our agenda
[22:49] there too.
>> Yeah. Reading it right now.
[22:55] Uh we would be
[22:59] building a culture of care across
Manitoba based on your residents.
[23:04] Those are care and housing providers.
>> Would it be community partners and yes
[23:09] municipalities?
>> Yeah, it would be $1,250 a year to be a
[23:13] member right there. Okay.
>> Thanks.
[23:16] » Good to know.
[clears throat]
[23:19] Anyway, moved by by Jeff and seconded by
Ron resolve that communications items be
[23:25] received as presented.
All those in favor
[23:46] » with those bylaws you can you can just
read the therefore be it resolved. You
[23:51] can read the whereases if you wish. It's
your choice.
[23:57] Moved by Jeff, seconded by B by Dave.
Therefore, we resolve the bylaw
[24:03] number two- 2024 be amended to conform
to the board order 20 26-26.
[24:14] And further be resolved that bylaw
number 2-2024
[24:20] be given the third and final reading as
amended.
[24:26] Third readings are reported votes. Uh is
there any questions about this Kellwood
[24:30] LUD water rate bylaw? Um later on in the
agenda, you'll see we received our
[24:37] public utilities board approval. This is
something I mentioned to you guys a
[24:40] couple months ago about this bylaw that
didn't appear and I was going to keep it
[24:44] on the agenda every month until we
received the public public utilities
[24:48] board order. We received it. Um you'll
have a resolution later accepting it and
[24:53] this by bylaw was amended and drafted in
uh by your consultants way to go
[25:01] consulting you hired to do the utility
rate study. There are some things in
[25:04] there that will require more action and
more work, but um I think it is ready
[25:10] for adoption.
[25:14] And you're also not really out of the
woodworks yet either. Even with this um
[25:18] because if you run another deficit,
you're going to have to make an interimm
[25:21] appeal to the public utilities board for
a rate writer
[25:25] because like I said, the Kellwood
utility has money, but after this water
[25:29] plant assessment, you're going to find
that you're probably going to need more
[25:32] money and that's either either acquired
through rate writers, which are
[25:36] individual lines on all the water bills
every quarter, or you just do a boring
[25:40] bylaw that's only levied against the
users of that system.
[25:46] So, is the pilot ready for recorded
vote?
[25:50] Everybody
all those
[25:54] four
[26:00] against
seeing none.
[26:07] Thank you.
[26:10] What are we doing with the recorder
part? This a number or
[26:14] » you can just you can put all
>> all
[26:17] » I'll type out each name individually in
the minutes.
[26:30] two bylaw 2- C 2026 third reading moved
by Errol Martin and seconded by Ron Rove
[26:40] that the council of the RM give third
and final reading by law number 2-2026
[26:48] be the RM's aggregate hauling bylaw and
repeal bylaw 2-203
[26:57] » okay so this bylaw is ready for third
reading this is what I just mentioned
[27:00] through the communication item, we've
been given new rates that we get to
[27:03] charge per cubic ton and per cubic
meter. Uh the rates are obviously from
[27:08] March to November and then January,
February, December is a different rate
[27:11] which is much less. Um and then we also
changed our permit fee within it. Um as
[27:18] directed by you guys, we're able to move
it up from I think $50, which will now
[27:23] be $200. So, uh, I think this aligns
with everyone else. All the other
[27:28] municipalities that do these bylaws
always wait for that government notice
[27:33] about the maximum we can charges and
follow suit. So, this will upgrade your
[27:37] 2023 rates to now be aligned with the
2026 rates. Is there any questions about
[27:42] your aggregate hauling bones?
>> Those less never changed a whole lot
[27:47] though
[27:50] changed. No, like I know you said we
were using 23
[27:54] » 23 numbers. Yeah, but chang
>> uh I would need to open up my
[28:00] » doesn't matter.
>> February package to see what the old
[28:03] numbers were.
>> Six and three before it was
[28:06] » maybe change a few.
>> Yeah, it would be [clears throat]
[28:12] » it's a few cents. That's for sure. But
it adds up too, right?
[28:14] » It adds up though. Yeah.
>> Even though we're dealing with basically
[28:17] 6 cents a ton.
>> Correct. That's a lot of times that do
[28:21] get hauled across your guys' roads.
>> Oh, yeah.
[28:25] » Yeah. It used to be that winter came
things quiet down
[28:34] » like it's just trucks.
Great.
[28:38] » Is there any other question before
calling for the record vote?
[28:42] » Call for the vote. All those four.
[28:48] Nice guys.
[29:04] Oh yeah.
[29:16] » [clears throat]
>> Agenda item number nine, committee
[29:21] reports. Moved by Ernie and seconded by
Dave. Be resolved that the minutes of
[29:25] the committee reports be received
[clears throat] as presented.
[29:29] Beautiful Twins County Court building
committee 2025 year end.
[29:36] Near Mountain Watershed District October
22nd site [snorts]
[29:42] LDB of Kelwin minutes March 3rd 2026
Subdivision Trail Association minutes on
[29:49] February the 2nd 2026
March 7th 2026 and the annual general
[29:56] meeting and Westlake Employment Skills
and Services Century Incorporated
[30:01] minutes February 18th
2026
[30:06] Okay, I would like to first thank you
guys as I've been asking for more of
[30:09] your committee meeting minutes that you
attend to start coming through council.
[30:14] Um, starting with beautiful Plains Cord
County Courthouse Building Committee.
[30:19] Um, on the attachment I kind of want to
just kind of highlight the last page,
[30:24] page 404.
Um if you look at their budget every
[30:28] year as a controlled entity, the RM
assumes one-third responsibility of it
[30:35] and historically dating back to well at
least 2023 that we received the budget
[30:41] on this page for they're intentionally
running deficits every year. This year
[30:46] they're budgeting for $57,240
in revenue but are projecting 65,715
[30:53] expenses.
Um, obviously as a CEO, I never want to
[30:58] see a controlled entity intentionally
run deficits because there's only two
[31:03] sources of funds. They either drain
their internal reserves or they have to
[31:06] come to the partners for more funds. Um,
and then the other thing I want to
[31:11] highlight is in review, the arm of
Rosedale isn't paying any rent
[31:19] to this group. We call it office rent, a
check that just went through, but it's
[31:24] not office rent. It's a one-/3
contribution, the same as North Cypress
[31:28] Langford and NEO pay. So,
I just don't believe it is necessarily
[31:36] the fairest that we actually
are in this office but are paying no
[31:42] rent. But with that said, if you total
up the amount of monthly rent collected
[31:48] from the chamber, the archives, the taxi
cab, and the quilters is less than what
[31:55] they pay their secretary treasurer every
month. [clears throat]
[31:59] So, I just
wanted to make you guys aware that and
[32:05] really highlight the financials that um
aside from draining their cash reserves
[32:11] and then we just consolidate their
financials into our um audits, we don't
[32:16] really talk about this very much, but um
now that we have their year end numbers,
[32:22] I just wanted to point that out that we
actually don't pay any rent here. So
[32:27] keep that in mind moving forward.
>> Well, they're the other two contributors
[32:33] are more than welcome to put their
offices in here for free.
[32:37] » I mean, they're more than welcome to.
>> Exactly.
[32:40] » We just simply are maximizing our
>> That's how the come.
[32:47] » So, what's happened with that big
meeting that occurred over a year ago
[32:50] now? I think
>> it just seemed like it died. Yeah. So,
[32:56] is there another meeting was scheduled
or
[32:58] » No, the province said that the partners
were stuck together and together we're
[33:03] partners.
>> That's it. Okay. Okay.
[33:05] » Whether like it or not,
>> I kind of like it working [laughter] for
[33:09] me. It's a great deal. Sorry.
>> No, no, I just appreciate being able to
[33:13] just highlight these kind of things to
you guys because as I'm new and learning
[33:17] these things as these information come
forward. Um, sliding over to the LUD
[33:22] regular.
>> I got it. Sure. If the RM decided to
[33:25] make their own municipal building in
Eden right beside the shop, we would
[33:30] still be contributing to this building.
>> Yeah,
[33:33] » with that check we just cut that we call
off this ramp, but it's actually just a
[33:36] one-/3 annual contribution.
>> That's the lady at the meeting that they
[33:41] asked her if this building burns down
and we still have to pay the
[33:44] contribution. She wasn't sure.
>> Dolores Matsmanship.
[33:46] » I'm not sure name, but she wasn't sure
if we signed to pay or not. So, we're
[33:50] stuck here for the eternity of Roseale
paying.
[33:53] » That's right. It's a good building. It's
worth saving.
[33:56] » I like
cheaper than having another office up
[34:00] there paying how many thousands of
dollars for it.
[34:05] » Um, rolling over to the Are you You have
any more?
[34:08] » I'm officially done.
>> Okay. Um, rolling on to the Lud K1
[34:12] minutes on March 3rd. Um, how do you
guys do your budget? Are you planning on
[34:17] having another meeting? Because FIU only
meet once every 3 months. So then 3
[34:20] months isn't going to be enough time for
me to receive your guys' budget.
[34:23] » We'll do it like a special meeting sort
of thing.
[34:26] » Okay.
>> Yeah. And um noted in the minutes it
[34:29] says there was discussion on Rosedale
owned lots. A number of these lots have
[34:33] grass cutting expenses over several
years with no end in sight. The
[34:36] committee uh thinks that these lots
should be offered for auction for sale
[34:40] to interested parties starting at
assessment value without restrictions.
[34:43] Um, are they aware that the RM has a
land sale policy?
[34:48] I have provided it to their secretary
treasur after reading this, but
[34:52] » Calwood would have to follow the same
land sale policy as any other
[34:56] » goes through here anyway. Yes, I would
think they understand that. Just I think
[35:00] this is more of a mental note.
>> Oh, okay.
[35:02] » I think that's more of a
>> um
[35:05] » for us to be aware they'd like to do
something about that.
[35:08] » I didn't note really anything in the Ros
subdivision trail association minutes.
[35:13] Uh, it looks like Jeff your pointy.
There's nothing to really highlight out
[35:17] of the AGM head out of the AGM.
>> Pretty straightforward.
[35:20] » Pretty straightforward. So you were one
thing I noticing there about the tree
[35:24] planting. So you're taking that under
your wings.
[35:27] » Yes.
[35:30] » I just seen that one point in time, not
trying to be negative toward this brush
[35:35] in one area and then want flat trees in
another.
[35:37] » It's kind of an ironic situation, you
[laughter] know. Yeah, I'll leave it at
[35:42] that.
[35:45] » Oops.
>> So, hopefully you plant the trees and
[35:47] it'll break down.
>> Well, that's always a risk.
[35:52] [clears throat]
>> There's technically enough room to have
[35:57] a buffer on either side, but whether
that translates
[36:00] » Yeah,
>> I like the ignition, but see the others
[36:04] lying at the other end of the cloud.
>> Yeah.
[36:09] Uh, seeing no other comments, I think
you're ready to hear that.
[36:13] » Any questions?
>> All those in favor?
[36:18] Thank you.
[36:30] » And I apologize, but I just wanted to
point out on that the extreme weather or
[36:34] cold weather. Did you guys notice that
uh under extreme rule the temperature
[36:38] and windshill reach minus 46 degrees uh
then the employee is not required to
[36:44] report - 46 is a pretty steep uh bar
>> like I don't know where the bus uh the
[36:51] bus is 40
>> 41 or 42 I think
[36:57] » everybody has different policies that
there's been this last year I know all
[37:02] school the dayare centers
undergone some scrutiny about that as
[37:07] well.
>> Oh yeah. Yes. So I don't remember what
[37:09] they did [cough]
[clears throat] to they keep on working
[37:12] on different angles because some people
need to work and they need the centers
[37:17] to be open for the children. So yeah, I
think we kind of got it better again
[37:22] hopefully. But it's an ongoing issue
every year with different organizations
[37:27] put that.
[clears throat] Carrying on, excuse me,
[37:32] agenda item 10.1, social media policy
moved by Jeff, seconded by Earl. be
[37:39] resolved that the council of the RM rose
adapt to communications and social media
[37:44] policy as N003.
>> Okay. So, this came from council's
[37:52] direction that you guys were interested
in having a communication policy that
[37:57] came out of a reception delegation. Um,
so the real highlight of it is you guys
[38:02] are requesting that we get off Facebook
and really push everyone to our website.
[38:09] In short, it's a lengthy policy, but
that's the
[38:14] key note of it all.
I think it makes sense to get off the
[38:19] Facebook thing.
>> Get off.
[38:21] » We don't need to get on Facebook. We
just go to the website. You'll see
[38:25] everything on the website.
If you can find it on Facebook, you can
[38:29] find it on the website.
>> And it just makes us so that we have to
[38:32] maintain our website. It has to be good.
>> Exactly.
[38:38] [snorts]
>> And I'll say again, the mass
[38:40] notification uh thing that's out here on
item end like I find it incredibly
[38:45] useful because I'm happy to be signed on
because of Clip Club. I find it to be
[38:49] very, very good. Like, and I'm hoping
that there'll be some update for that
[38:52] one.
[38:57] All those in favor?
[39:06] Uh, under unfinished business, I have no
updates regarding the Talage or the
[39:11] regional community flex request this
month. [clears throat]
[39:21] This is
12.
[39:27] » Is this a Oh, that's a
[39:32] lot.
[39:37] [clears throat]
>> And then item 12.1
[39:39] AMM 2026 spring redemption trade show
moved by Ernie, seconded by Rod. Whereas
[39:47] the AMM 2026 intervention in Brandon,
Manitoba allows for trade show only
[39:54] attendee passes. Therefore, be it
resolved that the council of the Arma
[39:59] Rose will approve the registration for
trade show only attendee passes on the
[40:04] day of April 22nd for the following
former Mike Lever, operator Mike Smith
[40:11] and operator Jeff.
Um, so you guys also mentioned that some
[40:16] of you might have potential interests in
attending the Brandon just the trade
[40:21] show but not the actual convention
because we passed a resolution of
[40:24] sending me at the Reeve to the 3-day
convention. But so I wrote the
[40:28] resolution up to include our public
works guys, but also there are there is
[40:33] room if there are members of council who
just want to go to Brandon for just one
[40:37] day to go. This was what used to be
called the municipal official seminar.
[40:41] This is where they build the Keystone
Center up with all the distributors.
[40:46] There's more obviously at the Brandon
one than the Winnipeg one cuz it is
[40:50] pretty difficult to get a greater into
the convention center located in
[40:53] downtown Winnipeg. Whereas usually the
Brandon convention, they have uh larger
[40:58] turnouts. So if you guys want to go
around the table, if anyone's
[41:02] interested, just let councelor Scott
know and he can write your name on the
[41:06] resolution.
>> I'd like to change you. I'd like to put
[41:09] the train.
[41:18] You might
[41:25] » not.
[41:34] » Can we pay the day we go?
>> Uh does require advanced registration.
[41:39] So
>> this is
[41:42] » I could try to sneak you in last minute
if it gets to that point too.
[41:45] » We'll see what happens here. Closer to
the date.
[41:49] » I'd actually like my my wife's birthday.
[41:58] » There you go. I like the way you think.
[42:04] » Yeah.
[42:08] There we go.
[42:12] [clears throat]
[42:17] Agenda item 12.2.1 2.1
2026 fever removal program moved by Dave
[42:25] seconded by her out resolve that the
council of the RO instructor CIO to
[42:30] place a notice and an advertisement
advising that RM will obtain the kill
[42:36] permit and compensate the approved
harvesting of problem animals at the
[42:41] rate of 75
uh dollars per animal.
[42:46] Okay, question. So, I drafted that
resolution based on the information that
[42:50] was provided. You'll notice this
meeting's a little different now where I
[42:53] put council requests and just laid them
out as eight different items. So, uh,
[42:58] councelor Todd provided the information
in advance. You guys really do have two
[43:02] options. One option is the resolution we
read or your other option is nothing.
[43:08] So,
um, being proactive, I thought you'd
[43:13] want one with action, but I can turn the
floor over to anyone who has any
[43:18] comments, concerns. I presume you all
read the notes provided by council to
[43:21] rock. Um,
feel free to talk. Anybody, anybody got
[43:26] any questions? Uh, the reason why I
declined from do ankle board because it
[43:30] is expensive for me to do it. has done a
three for 3 years and it's probably you
[43:34] racked up at least 2,000 bucks worth of
fuel and materials over 3 years. So I
[43:40] don't mind helping out but I got to the
point
[43:46] » you
really did
[43:49] » no because it was put discussion was had
that if we start doing that for me it
[43:54] has to be the same for everybody
everybody and I agreed to that.
[43:56] » Yeah. So, I just took it upon myself to
do what I did and I I'm okay with that.
[44:01] But I think going forward uh
I
[44:06] » there's going to be compensation at some
point in time.
[44:07] » Well, definitely. But I know we I'm sure
we compensated you.
[44:10] » No.
>> Yes.
[44:11] » I can confirm in 2025 we never paid
243. No, nothing. No, I trust me guys.
[44:20] » Not on
[44:23] loans there. that was uh um that was
only dug out. There was there was no
[44:29] compensation for any animals taken. I
know
[44:33] it was a 2023 was a banner harve
[44:41] 2024 there was I think it took eight out
of the areas. Last year was a bumper
[44:46] crop again and that was in war five
decided pretty well.
[44:50] » There was a big problem there. I think
there was 15 last year in total, but say
[44:55] what's done is done. I'm okay with that.
If um going forward, and I hesitate
[45:01] saying this, if it gets to a point where
we don't have we do have infrastructure
[45:06] that's uh potentially being damaged, I
do have the traffic per so but then I
[45:13] guess that's my own expense and I
hesitate on that big time. It's probably
[45:17] no should be known.
>> I know in the past
[45:20] » Yeah.
[45:27] There's
>> North Cypress have something. I don't
[45:31] know who it is, but I did.
>> And that lady in Brady Mountain,
[45:35] » what's his name there? He's
[45:39] got a license, but he didn't mind going
to do it if we needed somebody to
[45:49] [clears throat]
be compensated no matter what.
[45:54] Ryan used to bring me the actual beaver
like
[45:58] to me and I take take a picture of it
and everything.
[46:01] » I make public works not the tail.
>> Yeah. because otherwise it could
[46:04] [clears throat] end up somewhere and
then it comes back to you.
[46:07] [laughter]
[46:13] » Any other questions?
>> All those in favor
[46:32] 12.2 2.2 DFA sites 10 and 20 update
moved by Jeff seconded by Ernie be
[46:40] resolved that the council of the
Roseville receive council update on DFA
[46:45] sites 10 and 20 is presented.
[46:52] Um, there was a question about whether
or not we should push for an additional
[46:56] contingency or anything at this time,
but I don't think we should until we get
[47:01] the recommendation actually from the
engineering firm who will tender out the
[47:05] jobs and everything first
>> and awarding the tenders too. Maybe
[47:08] afterwarding the tenders or what do you
think?
[47:10] » Yeah, it would be once they actually
know the numbers because we're in a
[47:13] crazy time right now, right? Like gas is
now $151 in rent. So, it's like um
[47:19] contractors are always going to ensure
and hedge their. So, that also needs to
[47:24] be debated. One thing I do want to
highlight is next Thursday morning is
[47:29] the best time we could line everyone up.
So, we're going to bring in the property
[47:34] owners of site 10 for an hour. We're
going to bring in the property owners of
[47:37] site 20 for an hour. Um they're going to
meet with Burns Mandel and um I
[47:43] encourage the counselors of the ward to
be there. Um,
[47:48] we only just lined up the time this
morning, so the councils of the boards
[47:51] aren't really aware of this yet, but the
expectation is for them to be there, but
[47:54] you guys are all welcome to be there as
well. So, when I send out the emails to
[47:59] the counselors notifying them their
times of their meetings, you guys are
[48:03] encouraged to be you're welcome to come
as well. Um, I'm going to extend the
[48:07] invite as well out to our dual water
resource officers because they're the
[48:13] ones who are going to sign off on the
job. So, I might as well educate them.
[48:16] And I likely will advise Mike if he's
available for to be present as well. Is
[48:23] there any questions about where we're
kind of at with this? Um,
[48:29] » you're meeting here or
>> Yeah. No, we're going to meet in the arm
[48:32] office.
>> Where's site 10?
[48:35] » Site 10 to
20.
[48:39] » 20 is Rosite.
>> This site 10 different buildings.
[48:44] » No, if you look, one will be site 10,
one will be site 20.
[48:48] » No, two or 10.
>> Oh, well yeah, cuz those are different
[48:52] months.
>> Yeah.
[48:53] » So they they charged out 51% of the
project cost. Then they did more work,
[48:57] so they charged 58% of the total tender
cost. And they keep doing that as they
[49:02] So next month you're going to see at
least one if not two that'll create that
[49:05] 58 up to 60 up to 65 or whatever.
Um that's how kind of go so until they
[49:12] hit out the maximum billing amount.
[49:18] » Cat, do you have anything else to
>> I think you covered it quite well. Thank
[49:24] you. Okay. Uh, I think we're ready to
cover.
[49:27] » All All in favor
>> of receiving the letter of the
[49:32] » Yeah. of the information
we're up to with site 10 and 20.
[49:40] » I can't take a break around here.
[49:45] Agenda item 12.2.3
2026 capital project budget request.
[49:51] Moved by Jeff, seconded by Earl. It is
resolved that the council of the armor
[49:56] of Roseville approve councelor
Henderson's request for 2026 capital
[50:02] item of road 95 west rehab with an
estimated total cost of zero.
[50:10] » That's perfect. Zero was a great number.
>> I uh I didn't know what number to put in
[50:16] and it kind of sounded like the form was
kind of asked today but it was too big
[50:21] of a kind of request. So,
and my and my thinking was that it
[50:27] should be put under like I I keep
calling it a gas tax fund because we
[50:30] still have although we owe 600,000 to
the reserve, we still have approximately
[50:34] 600,000 in in the reserve and I would
like to allocate some of that money to
[50:41] this because to me it's not maintenance,
it's a rehabilitation project and if
[50:47] that's why it was a legitimate question
for the foreman like what's how big of a
[50:52] project is it in terms of fixing that
because I don't have any frame of
[50:55] reference. So, I wasn't sure what it was
going to cost to actually fix because I
[50:59] can do the math. I mean, we're putting
on uh if we do the uh 200 yards on 200
[51:05] yards per mile on a 30 foot wide road,
that gets us less ballast than if we put
[51:11] 100 yards on a 12t road mathematically.
So, every year we underravel,
[51:15] underbalance that road. Now, it's
starting the bill is coming due. Um, and
[51:20] if we do it again this year, it's just
going to get worse because that
[51:22] aggregate is becoming more and more
valuable. Once you guys start like
[51:26] you're talking about from Eddie Stone
over to wherever like it's insane what
[51:31] people have to do now for aggregate.
[clears throat] So our roads are bearing
[51:35] the brunt of that one. And so to me
that's why it should come out of that
[51:38] gas tax fund because that's not
maintenance, that's rehabilitation.
[51:43] » That's a very high high road. And it's
going to get I think if [clears throat]
[51:48] we get a good rain this year and guys
won't stop because they have deadlines,
[51:53] it's going to get just in time for guys
to start trying to farm, right? Like I
[51:57] think it's going to be horrible and I
don't know how to prevent it and that's
[52:01] why this is who knows what is. Well, so
do we. We kind of briefly discussed we
[52:07] just do a onem section is try plan A,
you know, bringing the digging the snow,
[52:14] bringing material up and grabbing it or
what's the game plan, I guess, how do we
[52:19] put a number two in and what kind of
game plan do we do?
[52:22] » And in my mind, it's one mile like I
understand trying to do an experiment,
[52:28] but in my mind, there's three miles for
sure that have to get done for sure. And
[52:32] there's six miles in total that are at
risk. But the the one mile on the flats
[52:36] by the rails, [clears throat] it's just
soft and soupy all the time. So it needs
[52:40] one management plan. And then there's
the cobblestone sections of 2 miles that
[52:45] need a different management plan. And
then there's the shoulders which is
[52:48] ongoing issue. So that's why I'm
thinking like it's it's not small and I
[52:53] don't know what number to put in there,
but [clears throat]
[52:56] like a plan has to be developed. It's
going to be 250,000
[53:01] » based on costs, right?
[53:05] » See, this is I'm willing to defer to
experience
[53:10] of rock and
more aggregate.
[53:14] » I think we have to have a a pretty
decent plan, I guess, to perhaps you
[53:19] throw a decent number at it.
>> Yeah.
[53:21] » I I personally I don't like a blank
check. I'm not that is a blank check.
[53:26] is but I can't see it being
>> unless we've capp it at a certain amount
[53:30] of once you start a project how do you
cap it right well can't
[53:34] » look at your rows what you've done
you've done one and 10 there one nine
[53:38] what were they [clears throat] one was
70
[53:42] and 60 I think 70,000 they think
was $40
[53:50] » running foot $40 per foot what was done
on those chairs the figure that we come
[53:55] up
Yeah, but that's a road is wider. So,
[53:58] you're going to add to it again. I know
it's on a 22t wide rope.
[54:02] » Yeah, but then we put 18 in up top. This
number on top, but
[54:07] » or you need Well, the way uh
Mike's go uh we need 18 in.
[54:13] » That's a clay cap,
>> which I mean, but is some of that dirt
[54:16] there?
[54:19] » I think the road is good. Just the rocks
are
[54:23] » It's a good base. Okay. Clay Road. I
think Play Road was built not in the
[54:29] 40s. Everything was built later. I think
it's big. Other than that last mile,
[54:37] » that spot.
>> Yeah.
[54:38] » So, so is it fair to say that pass a
motion authorizing the foreman to spend
[54:42] some time doing a real plan and then
cost it out through the CEO to include
[54:47] in the budget rather than But if nobody
wants to support the idea, like not
[54:52] waste staff time on it. Well, I I think
we need I mean it's one more road
[54:55] project. We do a few in each ward. I
mean this is maybe our project of the
[54:58] year.
>> Actually I should have put a request in
[55:02] too.
>> Well, me too, but I just but I didn't
[55:05] put it in. I do apologize. So if I don't
put it in next year,
[55:09] » that's like myself in 95. It was wanting
to do it last year, two years ago
[55:14] » and they said put it over for this year.
So I'm hoping it gets done this year.
[55:18] Yeah,
>> but I know for I've did a cost estimate
[55:21] on the section I wanted done which is
about 1,700 ft 70 grand and that's based
[55:27] on 15 in of material and about 3 in of
based on
[55:35] » Okay, [clears throat] so I've amended
the resolution. So Jeff, you have to
[55:38] approve the amendment where we're just
going to accept it for the time being as
[55:43] a capital request and [clears throat]
then work with basically Mike to try to
[55:49] come up with some numbers for our 2026
budgetary capital plans cuz it's kind of
[55:55] how I'm reading the room right now is
we'll just accept it as information
[55:58] right now and but you move the
resolution. As long as you're okay,
[56:04] » as long as Mike has time to come and
work with this to make a plan and a cost
[56:08] plan.
[56:12] » Oh yeah. No idea
council
[56:17] Rosedale accept council request
[clears throat] for 2026 capital item of
[56:23] road 95 quest as received.
All those in favor,
[56:30] » are you going to vote for Jeff?
>> Yeah, [laughter]
[56:32] » he's against it.
>> I noticed that.
[56:35] » I know you want
[56:39] » Harry.
[clears throat]
[56:48] Agenda item 12.3.4
Franklin Hall APM. moved by Jeff by Ron
[56:57] the council and the arbor received
council notice of the Franklin Memorial
[57:04] Hall's annual general meeting.
>> I think it's very straightforward as an
[57:10] attachment. Jeeoff, do you have anything
to speak on it?
[57:12] » Nope. Just anybody that wants to come,
you're invited.
[57:16] » Hearing none,
I'll ask the question. All those in
[57:21] favor?
Thank you, Jerry.
[57:32] Agenda item 12.2.5 2.5 Delwood skating
strategy
[57:38] moved by Jeff seconded by Dave being
resolved at the council of the aredale
[57:43] receipt councelw
[57:47] arena strategy document and it will take
and will it take to
[57:56] » and we'll take it to 2026 budgetary
deliberation
[57:59] » okay
>> um I also included in there the
[58:03] engineering ing service agreement you
guys signed last meeting with Birdsman
[58:06] Dell and the current as of status of it.
[clears throat] Um Jeff, do you want to
[58:14] talk about the Kwood Arena strategy
document or I I do if you don't mind.
[58:20] » Yes. I I I believe that I'm not mistaken
that the CCPF or the gas tax fund allows
[58:26] for projects like this. And I think that
with Nepua trying to rebuild their
[58:32] yellow head and Nepoa trying to do a new
arena uh and changing demographics etc
[58:39] that someone needs to sit down and do a
really comprehensive
[58:45] project plan strategy document for the
California just because there's so much
[58:49] more money to be spent and how to spend
it
[58:51] » and I just think that the staff in the
current office don't have the time to
[58:55] allocate to it and that's why I think
that it should be someone else that gets
[58:58] hired on a term basis, not a consultant,
but an actual employee and on a term
[59:03] position and they answer to the CEO and
they do all of this work and do it on
[59:10] behalf of the LUD of Kelvin, do it on
behalf of the town of Kelvin under the
[59:15] guidance of the CEO and then report back
to council and then we choose the path
[59:20] that's presented. And I just think that
that's the only way that it's going to
[59:26] uh get consensus in the community and
also get some cost certainty for the RM
[59:33] because I don't the LUD doesn't have the
capacity to finance it. It's going to
[59:37] have to be the RM and right now I just
don't feel like there's enough of a
[59:42] plan. So I really want this.
>> One thing I can highlight is the
[59:46] province has the municipal service
delivery improvement program. Um, I
[59:51] don't think the RM has utilized it, but
I think some of your subgroups have
[59:55] where I I know for sure I did it with
their recreation study. Um, but that
[1:00:00] works against what you're saying because
it is all consultant.
[1:00:04] It's your $100,000 report.
>> Mhm.
[1:00:07] » Made by a consultant.
>> And my only I have a bit of a a problem
[1:00:11] with consultants report because what I
find I think anyway is that it's a lot
[1:00:15] of We did this one 3 years ago for these
guys. find and replace the Niant project
[1:00:19] and replace it with this new one. Here
you go and it becomes a money-making
[1:00:23] mill. I have serious concerns with
consultants.
[1:00:27] Whereas a person that's working here
that's from the community that keeps the
[1:00:31] money in the community and then knows
people and can uh is then it's a one-off
[1:00:38] document, not a rubber stamped template
from somebody else's project. That's my
[1:00:42] but that's a personal prejudice and I I
don't it's not like I have proof that
[1:00:46] that's really helping someone's work but
I think I'm confident saying it.
[1:00:50] » I I like the ideas Jeff here. Um my
concern is should we be waiting for the
[1:00:55] engineering report to come back first
before we put this into place second?
[1:01:00] Without the engineering report what are
we really doing? And without that
[1:01:04] report, we have no idea what stage that
building's at and
[1:01:09] » where we want to go with it after that.
>> And I don't that's the only question I
[1:01:13] got.
>> And the only reason I was suggesting
[1:01:15] doing this right away is because then
part of this project cost can come out
[1:01:19] of that gas tax reserve fund instead of
operating. That's the only reason we
[1:01:24] missed it. But no problems either way
because it's a relatively small amount
[1:01:28] in the grand scheme of things. And we
should be close to the engineers
[1:01:32] comments because I know it's been a
month been a bit since they were there
[1:01:35] and I got in your CEO still hasn't
enough meetings but I think I like it
[1:01:39] actually. [cough] I like the idea
we don't have a plan. I never did that
[1:01:45] plan.
>> No, it was never a firm plan and then we
[1:01:48] have to vote here's your three options
and the fish are cutting this is and
[1:01:53] then charge forward and do it.
But and I put in there like the research
[1:01:58] of RDI rural development institute down
in Brandon like somebody there would be
[1:02:03] perfectly qualified to do it or somebody
local like a semi-retired person or uh
[1:02:09] some a recent business admin graduate
that's just eager to do something
[1:02:13] meaningful. They wouldn't just leave on
something like this. Especially cuz like
[1:02:18] I I don't want to uh shin this guy up
too much but he's got some experience
[1:02:23] but doesn't have time. so he could guide
them so they not going madly off in all
[1:02:30] directions, but they're doing the
Energizer Bunny work and he's just
[1:02:36] making sure that it's on this on the
right path. Like I can see now where
[1:02:39] you're going off track. Here's how you
should focus.
[1:02:43] And so that's how that's how I see it.
That's all I have to see.
[1:02:47] » Are we going to do something that
>> No, I agree that that
[1:02:51] » something's going to happen there
because it's been way too long.
[1:02:55] It's either it's either we do something
with it or we get ready.
[1:02:57] » Well, that's where I think you guys took
the right step by getting an engineering
[1:03:01] service agreement approved last meeting
despite don't have the deliverables yet
[1:03:07] as of March 3rd. But um
like that's what you guys really need to
[1:03:13] have because that ceiling thing really
exposed. It's like what are we doing R15
[1:03:20] to R50? like
>> what do we actually need,
[1:03:24] » right?
>> What's still outstanding?
[1:03:26] » We have to allow something like the
occupancy permit
[1:03:30] » passed in the [cough and snorts] we can
do this step which I mean it could
[1:03:33] happen like uh like a domino effect and
everything to find someone say a month
[1:03:39] or even six weeks from now whatever that
time frame is just hopefully we have a
[1:03:43] report.
>> Well that's why when I drafted the
[1:03:45] resolution it's just to take it to the
2026 budgetary deliberations.
[1:03:50] Anybody
got any more questions?
[1:03:57] » You okay to vote?
>> Yes, sir.
[1:04:03] » Good job. [laughter]
believe that it's
[1:04:08] something
[1:04:12] [laughter]
[1:04:15] important
[1:04:27] and I must ears are burning.
>> Yeah. You're you're losing a generation
[1:04:30] of kids, right?
[1:04:36] » Item 12.2.6
Six letter is support for tree planting
[1:04:42] by Josh seconded by Ron. We resolve that
the council of the RO approve a letter
[1:04:47] of support to be supplied to
agroforestry and woodlaw extension
[1:04:52] society for tree planting on the RM sale
section of the RSDA on land owned by the
[1:04:59] recreational trail holding group.
[1:05:05] » I have no comment resolution says at
all.
[1:05:08] And just so you know, like it's uh the
fellow that I contacted was at the
[1:05:14] provincial wershed district conference.
Uh so it's the Alberta water Alberta
[1:05:18] woodlot extension, but they're part of
that 2 billion tree program from the
[1:05:22] feds. So they're looking for projects
and uh there's a fellow agricultural
[1:05:27] research station in Brandon that's going
to come up and do the site survey. Uh
[1:05:30] and the minimum size project is 50,000
trees. uh and they'll do up to millions,
[1:05:36] but they but they don't want to go
smaller than 50,000. They want to make
[1:05:39] it worthwhile. Uh and so I walked it
with a fellow from uh from Edmonton and
[1:05:45] the fellow from Brandon, like we just
couldn't get it done. They had funding
[1:05:48] and it was ready to go for the spring,
but we just didn't have time to connect
[1:05:52] to get soil samples and 2 ft of snow,
that sort of stuff. So, uh and they're
[1:05:59] willing to put in native species. They
they'll only put in things they know
[1:06:02] that will live. Uh, and it's all part of
like a shelter built in depth and it'll
[1:06:07] this spot gets this, this spot gets
that, but there's no cost to the RM,
[1:06:11] there's no cost to the uh, Rosford
subdivision trail association. It's
[1:06:15] funded and and they have the budget for
it and they hire the tree planters. So,
[1:06:20] we just have to uh, all of the work is
actually done. It's just a matter of
[1:06:24] getting a letter support so that they
know there's no opposition to it.
[1:06:28] » Any more questions of Jeff?
ask the question of all those in favor.
[1:06:44] Agenda item 127
[1:06:50] policy moved by Jeff signif
[1:06:57] [clears throat]
[1:06:59] policy 23/10 be modernized and amended
as directed.
[1:07:04] for the next scheduled meeting with
council.
[1:07:09] » You have anything to add to that?
I
[1:07:13] think it's kind of unrealistic under the
timelines, but it seems to be an ongoing
[1:07:17] concern, not just for one ward. It seems
to be kind of a thing in multiple urban
[1:07:22] setups that um despite council's efforts
back in 2010 or 2023 to get this
[1:07:31] 2010 or 20 23 probably 2023.
No. Yeah, you revised the January 2023.
[1:07:38] Um the urbans still find quite a lot of
issue with this as indicated both the
[1:07:44] LED meeting minutes and then councelor
Henderson bringing it forth from the
[1:07:50] uh kind of community of Franklin. Um,
it'd be nice to really get these groups
[1:07:59] together to make sure that what we have
for a municipal land sale policy is
[1:08:04] really what these communities want to
see happen cuz the worst thing you could
[1:08:09] do is sell a bunch of lots and then you
don't see development on it. And that's
[1:08:12] always everyone's biggest problem is, oh
well, it's too fast or it's this, that,
[1:08:16] the other. But in the same sense, um,
something needs to be done. Obviously,
[1:08:21] you can't be holding all this land for a
resale and not having any development on
[1:08:25] it, but I've seen it in multiple places
where um delays. People will even buy
[1:08:31] lake lots and then they just find the
gray area of agreements and they'll just
[1:08:35] put in a little garden shed. Well,
your neighbors putting up a $600,000
[1:08:41] house and yet these people are allowed
to get away with holding this land as
[1:08:44] speculators for garden sheds. So that's
always the worst thing and what you
[1:08:48] never want to see happen which obviously
why we would want to register a cadet on
[1:08:52] any land you sell that you have the
ability to take it back if not agreed
[1:08:56] upon. Um then I kind of turned this over
to Earl and Jeff cuz you guys hear it
[1:09:03] more than anyone [clears throat] else.
>> Well yeah I mean we got to figure out a
[1:09:08] way to sell it but I was I don't know if
it's overlapping but I was reading
[1:09:11] things that I request about no reserve.
That spooks me because then people buy
[1:09:16] the land say 50 bucks and do nothing
with it and get it back anyway. But I
[1:09:20] don't know, maybe the reserve would be
lowered or you can negotiate a price
[1:09:22] like you were selling it as a used car
so to speak versus having a set price.
[1:09:27] But I'm not sure about that. So,
>> but it it'd be nice to make it more
[1:09:31] attractive to sell.
>> And I think people find the 365 date is
[1:09:36] too short for them. A lot of people like
2 years
[1:09:39] » just for the timeline of construction
delays and everything else. Um cuz you
[1:09:44] guys were kind of talking about Schulty
mowers, but I checked in and if they
[1:09:48] don't have a Schulty mower on lot, if
you were to try to buy it today, you
[1:09:50] won't get it delivered till November.
So, the world of everything seems to be
[1:09:55] quite lengthy and deliverables if the
products aren't sitting on lot.
[1:10:00] » Even a contractor, they talk about
you're waiting a year for your house or
[1:10:03] your shady built. So, it's probably
you're probably due more days. That
[1:10:07] gives them more time, less reason for
excuse at the end of the [laughter] two
[1:10:10] full years. You're right. BLC ground
being broke in two years. They're
[1:10:14] probably streaming you off.
>> Yeah. I'm just kind of sliding back to
[1:10:18] last October, November when you guys did
your um supplemental taxes. A lot of
[1:10:24] those supplementals that we added were
because their garage, their barn took 2
[1:10:29] years to construct,
>> but they would have broken ground in
[1:10:33] year one. But um cuz your rule is if
construction has not commenced within
[1:10:38] 365 days of the offer. So,
>> but when can you get it done by, right?
[1:10:45] Like,
>> and what's wrong with the extension? I
[1:10:47] always find as long as maintaining the
property after they own it, if the
[1:10:51] building doesn't happen for a couple of
years after, there's no sweat because I
[1:10:54] think there's lots of value in
maintaining lots.
[1:10:58] » I love when you just redid this policy.
It was going to make it more attractive
[1:11:01] at that point in 2023, but apparently it
hasn't.
[1:11:05] » No, that's right. It hasn't. Nobody's
dumping it. We haven't sold the land all
[1:11:07] in Franklin or California. No, there was
a big push in Franklin and that stalled.
[1:11:12] But it's just
>> And why?
[1:11:17] » Exactly.
>> Yeah. Why? Well,
[1:11:19] » you tell me why.
>> The feedback in cowwood is why is the
[1:11:23] water water hookup cost if you're say
had this if you own this lot and want to
[1:11:28] divide this lot to expand your your home
base, whatever you want to call it. But
[1:11:32] if you're going to come into town brand
new and then the water hookup cost
[1:11:36] $15,000,
that's one of the wise in. And so the
[1:11:40] property could be 50 bucks, but then the
water to get your house hooked up to the
[1:11:45] water is $15,000, which I mean I'm we're
not debating that today that but that's
[1:11:49] one of the wise and
>> but if you just rural land rural, if you
[1:11:54] went out in the country, bought a lot.
>> Yeah.
[1:11:56] » What's it going to cost you for wire?
>> Oh, no.
[1:11:59] Sir, you got to compare compare one to
the other. But that's you ask for a Y
[1:12:04] and that's one of the W.
I gladly pay for that and unlimited
[1:12:09] water. You have to pay for it.
>> No. And it's guaranteed.
[1:12:12] » But the well out in the country is never
guaranteed.
[1:12:14] » But that's one of the wuz
wells and stuff.
[1:12:18] » I was thinking like, you know, a lot of
guys in Cal would want to buy that lot
[1:12:22] of settlement because they want a bigger
long or whatever. But if they set it up
[1:12:26] that you have to put a certain square
footage of a shop or garage or
[1:12:31] something,
>> buy that bot. You have to have something
[1:12:35] that this size of square footage
>> fits on the lot that fits on the lot and
[1:12:39] going to go on the lot or we get it
then.
[1:12:43] » Yeah. I don't know. And this way, you
know, it's it's just revenue
[1:12:48] taxes wise. You know, if it's just a
shop, say a 30 by 40 shop or twocar
[1:12:52] garage that's 30 by 26 or whatever, you
know, you can't sell it to him because
[1:12:58] he just wants some home grass over there
and park his boat on it
[1:13:03] » because he doesn't want to park.
>> Yeah. I don't know because it's tough. I
[1:13:06] mean, you're I find the more rules you
make, the tougher is to to sell that.
[1:13:10] We're talking about sell more rules. I'm
not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying
[1:13:13] it's if you add more stipulation you add
the tougher it is to sell. I mean where
[1:13:16] we live I mean in our little communities
of G and the other small communities in
[1:13:20] Rosedale. I mean sometimes it's the
expansion guy or person
[1:13:25] the main not having to maintain it as an
army anymore is a win in a small way but
[1:13:30] that's say that's my personal opinion.
Any more questions?
[1:13:37] All good questions. All those in favor.
[1:13:44] » So, I'll try my best to get it to you
guys next meeting, but it is going to
[1:13:47] require some collaboration with both the
LUD
[1:13:51] and other potential um people with
interest and knowledge.
[1:14:13] Good to go.
>> Agenda item 12 2.8
[1:14:19] by law moved by Jeff seconded by Arrow
be resolved that the council of the RO
[1:14:25] request bylaw 6-209
be scheduled for the year review.
[1:14:32] So, that resolution, I'm definitely not
committing to being able to have it
[1:14:35] cleaned up within the one-mon period,
but um you'll see the one attachment
[1:14:41] called tile drainage. Um councelor
Anderson, do you want to expand on
[1:14:46] repeat amendment? Yep.
>> What you're thinking?
[1:14:49] » Yeah. So, uh there's been some ongoing
phone calls with the proponents for that
[1:14:54] that one dish project just west of
Franklin. And there the one uh issue
[1:14:59] that came up last week was the fact that
uh there might be some unfair there was
[1:15:03] the perception or reality of some unfair
treatment and voting and we allowed
[1:15:08] there was uh I can't remember the
person's name but the trial project came
[1:15:12] up at the last council meeting and we
voted uh in favor of that one and then
[1:15:18] passed it on to the next step even
though the letters of support weren't in
[1:15:22] the file but in that particular case the
person receiving the water downstream
[1:15:26] was played by wershed district and they
had indicated they didn't have a problem
[1:15:30] and that the letter was forthcoming
whereas [cough and clears throat]
[1:15:33] Franklin was not voted to go forward
they because they didn't have the
[1:15:38] letters of uh support from the people
down the street. So, the perception was
[1:15:43] that there's some uh what's your what's
your policy? And our our bylaw um is
[1:15:50] says that we're supposed to have that
and we're supposed to be people that are
[1:15:54] living downstream that might be affected
downstream. Uh but the cumulative
[1:15:59] effects of tidal drainage going
downstream gets you to the White River
[1:16:04] and then to Lake Manitoba. Uh it's just
an interesting dynamic then because I
[1:16:09] know some people that I coincidentally
came across that are downstream of some
[1:16:13] of our cattle drainage projects that
would like to have a
[1:16:18] uh uh degradation that they're seeing in
their river flats area uh and how the
[1:16:24] Whitewater district is now having to
spend large amounts of money mitigating
[1:16:28] some of the damage that's been caused
over the years. And they're saying that
[1:16:32] this will be a small but measurable
amount of increasing the damage
[1:16:38] downstream. So they're saying so they
want to have a voice in these as well.
[1:16:42] » So how far downstream do we need to go?
>> That's the thing, isn't it?
[1:16:46] » Cuz right now we're saying they have a
voice in our in our bylaw
[1:16:51] » and that water goes a long way. You can
get ridiculous
[1:16:55] only like you can go to Churchill
>> technically. Uh but where is the
[1:17:01] negative effect? Where does it end? And
the person that is downstream of us with
[1:17:05] the flight approximately 30 km says, "I
see and bear the brunt of the negative
[1:17:11] effects of the decisions that you make
in Franklin and you need to stop."
[1:17:18] So her voice is valid and in our bylaw
should be listened to. And then the
[1:17:25] other thing that Jordan pointed out was
that we don't have any legal authority
[1:17:27] in the in the preamble of the bylaw,
which is out of my realm of comfort, but
[1:17:34] uh apparent it seems like it's the only
bylaw that doesn't refer to a municipal
[1:17:38] authority. So like should this be a
policy as opposed
[1:17:46] to give it some authority? Because
within the provincial government, I've
[1:17:50] also found like so you have the people
that are are signing off the permit,
[1:17:53] they don't have a problem. Then I talked
to the new person at Brandon again at
[1:17:56] the wershed conference who is in the
watershed planning side, not the
[1:18:01] licensing side, who does have a problem
with the town drainage.
[1:18:06] So you've got a lot of who's right,
who's wrong. I don't know.
[1:18:11] Like so
there's some real things like the
[1:18:15] proponent for this project saying why
did you let that one go forward and not
[1:18:18] mine when we're both equally uh don't
have our paperwork in place and then it
[1:18:24] gets into the things of because we get
this incredibly good deal for
[1:18:27] professional services from the new area
planning district
[1:18:31] because both of these projects have a
variance that's required there has to be
[1:18:35] public hearing and everybody within 100
meters has to be notified and has to say
[1:18:40] so that's a sep separate area. And what
I found interesting about that one was
[1:18:44] again on the project that's west of
Franklin, that 100 meter buffer means
[1:18:49] essentially every residential lot owner
in Franklin gets a notification to come
[1:18:52] to an agricultural title drainage thing.
So it's kind of impacting on a town.
[1:18:59] It's a it's a fascinating that one
particular project is fascinating and
[1:19:03] it's complicated and it's when you're
owner of course you wanted to go ahead
[1:19:08] because you're looking at your land and
only your land which I completely
[1:19:12] sympathize with but this one's going to
get worse and this if we follow our
[1:19:17] bylaw it gets even more complicated
because who's actually downstream where
[1:19:21] do we live at that downstream who gets
to have a say
[1:19:26] » so that's all I have to say on that one
sir
[1:19:28] » thank
>> [laughter]
[1:19:32] » I'll [clears throat] ask the question.
All those in favor.
[1:19:37] Thank you.
[1:19:48] Agenda item 12.3 development agreement
moved by Arrow seconded by Dave B.
[1:19:55] result that council authorized a
sighting of development with Jock Pierre
[1:20:01] and Simone Marine St. Pierre as per the
conditions of
[1:20:07] of condition use 0001-
2026.
[1:20:13] » Your French is a lot better than the
Reeves was last meeting.
[1:20:18] Did not say those French names at all.
So, very well done.
[1:20:22] » [clears throat]
>> um procedural. I have no comment on it.
[1:20:26] This is just how it goes through now. I
just need the resolution approving the
[1:20:30] conditions of the development agreement.
We again utilize the services of Nepo
[1:20:36] Planning District for assistance with
our development agreements. So, thank
[1:20:39] you to them for providing the draft
agreement. But I have no comment. I just
[1:20:44] present resolution for approval.
>> No question. All those in favor?
[1:20:51] Thank you.
[1:20:58] So, this item has come to you guys
multiple times over multiple years. So,
[1:21:03] I just told the right pair I'd prepare a
resolution and put it forward to you
[1:21:06] guys to make a decision whether or not
you approve it is your choice, but I
[1:21:10] kind of think it kind of goes into a
gray area. So, I wrote the resolution in
[1:21:14] an area to clear up the gray before
giving authorization.
[1:21:19] » I thought there was no work done there.
He claims not.
[1:21:23] » No.
>> Okay.
[1:21:25] » So, there was supposed to have been work
done there for several years, but I
[1:21:29] don't think it's ever been attended.
>> I So, does it need a drainage permit?
[1:21:35] Cuz I saw the resolutions written up to
buy us time. But, um, cuz it sounds like
[1:21:39] it's beyond just routine maintenance.
>> What what I would describe it as is the
[1:21:45] a fill that has washed into the drain
and plugged it. Yeah.
[1:21:50] » So, it's a matter of removing the the
the groundwater washed fill and removing
[1:21:56] it to restore the drain to what it was,
>> what it was, how many years ago based on
[1:22:02] what flow are we going to remove too
much and then wash out the next clover
[1:22:06] down the next.
>> It's a ditch. So, this is our ditch.
[1:22:10] » Yeah.
>> Yeah. And he's repaired his own uh
[1:22:13] approach
>> to protect it because our our drainage
[1:22:17] ditch on the RM side doesn't work
anymore. So he has concrete capped his
[1:22:22] approach to protect it from that and a
lot of that is loose filled that got
[1:22:26] dumped in as an emergency fix and then
was never come back to it. Uh
[1:22:31] » wasn't the right stop.
>> Wasn't the right stop and it was
[1:22:33] emergency hurry hurry hurry and then it
washed in there and it plugged it.
[1:22:36] » So then is the resolution prepared
appropriate or are you guys
[1:22:41] » I'll read it. Agenda item 12.4
request moved by Jeff second by Rob.
[1:22:48] Excuse [clears throat] me. Be it
resolved that the council of the AR road
[1:22:51] receive request for ditch maintenance on
road 92 west and south of 88 north and
[1:22:59] request performed to consult the water
resources officer. Great experience are
[1:23:04] required before beginning to do the
project.
[1:23:08] » So should there be an amendment to that
resolution?
[1:23:12] » Well, I I believe that I I don't know,
but I believe that that's going to be a
[1:23:16] serious cost to make that rate, which is
fine. It needs to be fixed. It's been a
[1:23:18] mess for a long time. And but there's
some uh large rip rock wrap required
[1:23:24] upstream. If I'm thinking about the
right hole in the road, there's a hole
[1:23:27] you can put this building in. It needs
some rip wrap to slow the the the fines
[1:23:31] down before we clean it out or else
you're just
[1:23:33] » I don't think that's
>> No, I know. But to get maintenance like
[1:23:37] just digging that out of there is is
fine,
[1:23:39] » but it's not going to fix the problem.
It'll fix temporary fix, but it won't
[1:23:44] fix the problem because if that's the
same that's on the north side of Bruce's
[1:23:47] driveway,
>> the north.
[1:23:49] » Yeah, because it's it's a hole.
>> Oh, it's terrible.
[1:23:52] » Cuz it washed during the flood as well.
Like that was part of the flood wash and
[1:23:56] they took I think Bruce's driveway out
actually that time. But then you put it
[1:23:59] back and then the Smith project you did
an excellent job on that by the way.
[1:24:03] » Took half the road.
>> No. Yeah. I mean quite a mess there.
[1:24:05] Brought the road. But I mean there's
more than just maintenance.
[1:24:08] » We can do maintenance. Honestly, half is
done, I guess, but it's not going to
[1:24:13] solve the problem
>> because if you go just south of that
[1:24:15] approach that is filled in there, spills
over the road. There's a couple it's the
[1:24:20] river is trying to find its natural
course, which is over top of the road
[1:24:24] that got built.
>> So, the river, if we just left it alone,
[1:24:28] it would tell you where to put that.
But,
[1:24:32] » but you just for maintenance is to
remove some of the material. Yes. Fine.
[1:24:35] Fires are going upstream. You want to
call where that hole is.
[1:24:39] You put rip wrap in there, you're just
going to hold it, keep it from the fines
[1:24:43] moving going forward. You're never going
to cure the problem once you get a major
[1:24:46] flood. Water's going downhill.
>> No, for sure it is. And that's what I
[1:24:49] mean.
>> You got to limit the amount of fines
[1:24:51] maybe being transferred if you fill the
hole in, but that never was washed at
[1:24:56] the bottom like that. Never just the
material was that
[1:25:01] it's going to get back to sight.
>> Yeah. Sli
[1:25:06] back to site 10 when you put it back on.
Yeah,
[1:25:09] » but I think to even escalate like say a
foot deep out of that, we need a
[1:25:13] » per
that because and esavate less than 12 in
[1:25:19] of stuff out of there is
>> cuz he just wants to throw the dozer
[1:25:22] down there. But I'm like, how is the
dozer not going to add
[1:25:25] » Yeah. Where's he get what?
>> I guess the red is just let the foreman
[1:25:30] get a hold of water services and see if
you do need permits.
[1:25:33] » Yeah.
>> And then we go from there.
[1:25:35] » Okay.
>> I'm good with that. in favor of that
[1:25:38] » and he does deserve to have this project
looked at cuz he's shining on it for 3
[1:25:41] years. Yeah, it was looked after last
year
[1:25:48] before we wash back down again. I'm
assuming it
[1:25:51] » slows
[1:25:55] in favor of this.
[1:26:08] » Want to be wondering you and I haven't
done one together.
[1:26:11] » [laughter]
[1:26:14] » Democracy in action.
If you want, let's just say if you want.
[1:26:20] Agenda item 12.5
[1:26:24] 2024 deficit application moved by Ern by
Ron
[1:26:30] Council of the Rail
contract way to go consultants to
[1:26:34] complete the 2024
deficit application to the public
[1:26:39] utilities board for the Kelly utilities
at the quoted rate of 20 $250 with
[1:26:46] expenses being by the utility
So, this is again tied to the public
[1:26:52] utilities rate boards ruling. Um, we
need to supply justification for the
[1:26:58] 2024 deficit application. I prepared one
and sent it to the public utilities
[1:27:04] board for kind of like a off thereord
honest opinion of it and they didn't
[1:27:10] like it. So you guys should pay the
consultants that you paid to do it the
[1:27:15] $250 out of the kel utility fund to pay
for the deficit application. So it's
[1:27:20] done through a way that the public
utilities board will accept it.
[1:27:26] » Any other questions? All those in favor
[1:27:41] 12.6 Six. Holding pump replacement
by Earl, seconded by ER council, the
[1:27:49] Iron Road to approve the quote provided
by Clean Flow for two chlorine pumps and
[1:27:55] kit for the amount of 444154
[laughter]
[1:28:00] and further be resolved that the
expenses be borne by the Kelvin utility.
[1:28:06] Um, so this one's a little bit of a
tough one because
[1:28:09] you are in that in between phase, right?
You are having a consultant provide a
[1:28:14] full water plant assessment and there's
going to be a lot more items than the
[1:28:18] than just the chlorine pumps. Um, the
chlorine pumps have been sitting in our
[1:28:23] office for over a month now. Um,
Cheyenne's kind of in the in between. So
[1:28:28] what this is is this is a device that
releases chlorine based on a specific
[1:28:32] time or amount, but these things are
constantly breaking down requiring
[1:28:35] parts. So that's why the whole quote
includes not just the pumps, but then
[1:28:38] you get the spare part kits, the
injection valves, um because
[1:28:44] when you're dealing with chlorine and
hard water and things like that, it's
[1:28:47] continuous. Um I tried to obtain three
price quotes, but um everyone was
[1:28:53] pointing me towards clean flow cuz we're
going to replace apples with apples.
[1:28:58] I don't want to get into a world where
all of a sudden one thing is imperial
[1:29:01] and the other thing's metric and now
I've boughten these things and they're
[1:29:04] no good but you can't return them
because you've already
[1:29:07] So I prepared a resolution for this one
rather than just approving the purchase
[1:29:12] and flowing it through council. Um it
sucks that it's expensive but it's what
[1:29:18] we use to dose the chlorine water in the
kel water treatment setup.
[1:29:24] I'm confused on what you just said,
though. We have stuff in the office, but
[1:29:27] this is
>> the actual two pumps have been sitting
[1:29:29] in a box in the office cuz they've been
broken for a while now.
[1:29:33] » So, she's just doing manual doses
>> and that's an acceptable shortcut.
[1:29:39] » Acceptable short term. Yeah.
>> But I don't we should wait until the end
[1:29:43] of the full.
>> So, this got somebody going in there to
[1:29:47] do a whole plant assessment.
>> Is this going to work if the
[1:29:53] If they decide we need to change this,
this and this is this going to still
[1:29:56] work with
>> which you need the chlorine pumps for.
[1:29:59] » Yeah. No, I'm just saying like these
chlorine pumps will work with say we got
[1:30:02] to change this three snap piece. It's
all going to drive together like not
[1:30:06] changing.
>> Yeah. So why did you guys do a full
[1:30:08] We're going to go grade sand filter
rather than chlorine. But
[1:30:12] » Oh yeah.
>> And again, you guys are really paying
[1:30:15] for a report that's going to tell you
the full expenses. So, these pumps will
[1:30:20] get at least put to use for at least the
next 9 months,
[1:30:25] regardless of what your final plan is
for Kellwood water plant upgrades. But I
[1:30:30] can't really find too many holes in it.
It just it just sucks that these parts
[1:30:35] um the pumps are only $1,000 each, but
then you got to buy the spare part kits
[1:30:38] and the injection valve. So, then
from 2,000 quickly goes up to 4,400.
[1:30:45] Indeed, it's
>> no it's wearable
[1:30:48] or
[1:30:52] supposed to be safe
[1:30:56] and [clears throat] excuse me, I'll ask
a question. All those in favor?
[1:31:05] » Um, you guys made a decision last year
to say no. I've been being bugged by
[1:31:09] them. So, I told them I'd at least
present the resolution to you guys for
[1:31:12] consideration.
[1:31:15] So
item 12.7
[1:31:19] meeting grant request moved by Jeff
second by Dol that council of the arose
[1:31:26] day approve a quarter page black and
white emergency
[1:31:32] service recognition vote at a cost of
$340.
[1:31:38] » And those in favor
>> I'm still of the mindset questions.
[1:31:41] » Yes. I'm still of the mindset that we
should not just give the the local
[1:31:46] region money as opposed to buying that.
That's that would be my preference.
[1:31:52] » I think that that goes towards that
book, doesn't it?
[1:31:54] » Yeah.
>> Yes.
[1:31:55] » But I would rather just give them the
local guys actual [clears throat] cash
[1:31:58] to
>> Yeah. Cuz last year you guys said no,
[1:32:02] you didn't want to support this Manitoba
Northwest Ontario Command
[1:32:08] and then Yeah, we received a few phone
calls. So, they're trying to turn us
[1:32:12] down because elections were in October,
right? So, then everyone's going to be
[1:32:16] trying to figure out how soft a year for
council is. Um, but yeah, last time this
[1:32:22] came to you guys, you guys did not
approve it. It was defeated.
[1:32:26] » So, I don't understand
what this page ad is going to say.
[1:32:33] Rosedale.
>> Uh,
[1:32:36] yeah. He cleared the little thing. It
says rural municipality of Rosedale. The
[1:32:39] RM of Rosedale extends a thank you to
the veterans and members currently
[1:32:43] serving. Without your dedication and
sacrifice, we wouldn't be where we are
[1:32:46] today. We will not forget.
>> And this is again something you guys
[1:32:51] » have done previously, but um 2024 or
2025 you chose not to.
[1:32:58] » I thought Yeah, cuz we used to support
something from the Legion and it was
[1:33:02] recognizing
uh people who served the country.
[1:33:06] » Yeah.
from 2020 2014 to 2023. You guys did it
[1:33:11] every year. 2024 you said no. I brought
it to you guys in 2025. That motion was
[1:33:15] defeated. So this is your 2026 option.
Any more questions?
[1:33:23] Well, that's the question then. All
those in favor.
[1:33:34] Thank you.
[1:33:46] This next resolution is a lobby
resolution. Again, I would uh skip a lot
[1:33:53] of the where's and just start it kind of
there.
[1:33:58] [laughter]
>> Take a deep breath.
[1:34:03] I'll get you water.
I would just do [clears throat] the the
[1:34:07] one therefore be it resolved and not
even get into the number parts. Um just
[1:34:13] before the resolution's put on the
table, you'll see there is a lobby
[1:34:16] letter put forth. Uh the gha22 area. I
included a map and we are included in a
[1:34:23] tiny little area of it. Um,
so when the reev went to Mayor's Reeves
[1:34:30] CEO, this is their new kind of regional
thing that they're pushing for everyone
[1:34:35] to supply resolutions of support of.
[1:34:40] » Agenda item 12.8 mayors and lobbying
resolution moved by Dave, seconded by
[1:34:45] Earl.
[1:34:50] So that just
>> start right up here
[1:34:52] » and then you can just right there.
>> Therefore be it resolved that the
[1:34:58] council of the army
rule of riding mountain west hereby
[1:35:02] supports the following wild wildlife
hunting season dates within DHA22
[1:35:10] one hunting season dates GHD22.
[1:35:18] Then we'll go to the bottom.
[1:35:22] » Sure.
>> Do you further resolve that upon
[1:35:25] receiving provincial confirmation,
[clears throat] municipality will
[1:35:29] provide public notice of the approved
hunting dates and tag allocations
[1:35:34] through municipal posting methods as per
communications policy.
[1:35:40] Any questions?
So in short, this is has to do with tag
[1:35:45] allocations. Each area, as you see in
the maps, they all get different tag
[1:35:49] allocations.
Um they are pushing for 100 elk, 30
[1:35:54] archery, 30 rifle, 40 by land owners.
They kind of want to see the hunting
[1:35:59] dates changed as well. Um and again,
this came from the caucus meeting of
[1:36:06] Mayors and Reeves.
Is there any questions about it or
[1:36:11] require clarification?
>> Just because we love you for it doesn't
[1:36:14] mean it's going to happen.
>> No, because the last one you guys passed
[1:36:19] had something to do with Minister of
Justice. There was a federal issue. I
[1:36:24] think it was maybe the catch and release
program or something. But
[1:36:29] [clears throat]
that's what these caucuses kind of do.
[1:36:33] On the same note, dude, you res You see
what they want to allow hunting of
[1:36:40] swans? No.
>> Yeah.
[1:36:41] » And morning dove.
>> Yeah. I was shocked by that one.
[1:36:44] » I was shocked, too.
>> It's got nothing to do with this.
[1:36:48] » Yeah.
>> I read that and I thought
[1:36:53] it
>> those little
[1:36:56] birds.
>> Well, [clears throat] they'd be the
[1:36:59] morning would be safe for me. That's for
sure. Like there's not a chance I could
[1:37:04] hit one.
>> Anyway, all those in favor of the mayors
[1:37:08] and Reeves lobby resolution.
[1:37:14] Thank you, Carrie.

[1:42:20] Agenda item 12.14
Delwood skating rink. Moved by Earl,
[1:42:26] seconded by Jeff. Resolve that council
of the Rosdale approved the CAO to apply
[1:42:32] for extension to the CCI program for the
Kelwood skating ring if and when
[1:42:38] required.
I'm just trying to be proactive on this
[1:42:41] one.
This is a weird program cuz I kind of
[1:42:45] think that we were supposed to have it
done by the end of last year. This this
[1:42:49] is all done by Cara before she left.
Remember she applied for all the
[1:42:53] different programming and funding for
the Elvis skating ring. So, um I've been
[1:42:57] keeping up with the reporting parts, but
in some of the documents I read, it kind
[1:43:01] of sounds like we were supposed to ask
for an extension. So, then this
[1:43:04] resolution just gives me the authority
to um send it in just to make sure like
[1:43:09] everyone knows this project is still
ongoing and we're still incurring costs
[1:43:13] and things like that. But, uh I would
just appreciate this resolution for
[1:43:16] comfort.
>> All those in favor? Thank you guys. And
[1:43:22] carry
[1:43:29] Agenda item 12.15 Wley credit
application moved by Arrol seconded by
[1:43:34] DP resolved that the council of the RO
approve a credit application to WLIC in
[1:43:39] the amount of $25,000.
>> So I want to talk about this one too
[1:43:44] because even though it's permitted
within our purchasing procurement
[1:43:47] authority, I I advise you guys if we
ever got into something big, I'd bring
[1:43:50] it to your attention. So, um, I brought
this for because this is the number
[1:43:55] Woolsley recommended. So, Woolsley is
our distributor of a lot of water parts
[1:44:00] for both Eden and Kelwood water systems
and all the associated things. Um,
[1:44:06] again, the $25,000 number is huge. It's
scary, but that's what they recommended.
[1:44:11] And when you get into just adding the
things up, right? So, it's uh 4,400 for
[1:44:18] the pump, but then if we move forward
with a Neptune 360 project or something,
[1:44:23] well, then we're already hitting um
12,000. So,
[1:44:28] um I really hope that we'll never even
come close to that $25,000 number, but
[1:44:35] that that was what just what Woolsley
recommended. um should you ever come to
[1:44:39] the day when you need to swap out your
water meters or doing any kind of those
[1:44:42] large bulk purchases or what whatever
our Calwood water plant assessment is
[1:44:46] going to provide us with with
recommended upgrades. Um they don't even
[1:44:51] like giving us quotes right now for even
the pumps or anything like that because
[1:44:56] we don't have a valid or an expired um
credit application. So if you don't feel
[1:45:02] comfortable with 25 grand, the
resolution can always be amended to a
[1:45:05] lesser number. But this is just kind of
procedural on what was supplied to me to
[1:45:10] flow through to you.
>> Anybody have questions
[1:45:16] ever need fire measures?
>> Yeah.
[1:45:21] » And likely 20% more than last year.
