Alright, approval of the agenda. Any
changes to the agenda at all?

Just uh your worship you may want to
put Monday August 17th.

8
00:00:22,836 --> 00:00:23,835
I'm not too sure.

9

Thank you.

10
00:00:24,809 --> 00:00:26,403

13
00:00:31,425 --> 00:00:35,370
Oh, and here walks Councillor Hunter.

14
00:00:35,868 --> 00:00:36,701
[clatter]

15
00:00:38,499 --> 00:00:40,372
We just pause for a second.

16
00:00:40,591 --> 00:00:42,594
[light conversation] Good day. Good
day. Welcome.

17
00:00:44,436 --> 00:00:46,230
We just called the meeting to order.

18
00:00:46,429 --> 00:00:47,956
You need up another two to get here?

19
00:00:48,023 --> 00:00:48,856
Okay.

20
00:00:48,923 --> 00:00:49,756
[paper rustling]

21
00:00:50,616 --> 00:00:52,044
Approval of the agenda. I need a
motion.

22
00:00:52,111 --> 00:00:54,037
Councillor Keler, all those in favor?

23
00:00:54,104 --> 00:00:55,432
That is carried. Thank you.

24
00:00:57,093 --> 00:01:00,380
Does any member have a conflict of
interest on tonight's agenda?

25
00:01:00,779 --> 00:01:02,672
[light conversation] None, none.

26
00:01:02,772 --> 00:01:07,155
I should uh step out for new
business, actually, until close.

27
00:01:07,355 --> 00:01:08,683
Okay, thank you.

28
00:01:09,746 --> 00:01:10,579
[paper rustling]

29
00:01:12,436 --> 00:01:16,122
Next, onto the minutes from the
regular meeting from August the 4th.

30
00:01:18,514 --> 00:01:21,104
Any errors or omissions, anyone
noted?

31
00:01:22,698 --> 00:01:23,531
[paper rustling]

32
00:01:24,691 --> 00:01:25,524
[paper rustling]

33
00:01:26,684 --> 00:01:27,517
[paper rustling]

34
00:01:29,470 --> 00:01:30,303
Okay.

35
00:01:30,370 --> 00:01:32,661
I have a motion for approval of the
minutes.

36
00:01:33,060 --> 00:01:35,053
Councillor Cap uh Crossing, sorry.

37
00:01:35,249 --> 00:01:36,082
All those in favor?

38
00:01:36,149 --> 00:01:37,477
That is carried.

39
00:01:38,540 --> 00:01:40,465
Uh public meeting, there's none.

40
00:01:40,532 --> 00:01:43,123
Public forum and delegations, there's
none.

41
00:01:43,621 --> 00:01:45,116
Onto communications.

42
00:01:45,913 --> 00:01:48,802
First we have the RCMP monthly
report.

43
00:01:50,097 --> 00:01:50,930
[paper rustling]

44
00:01:51,691 --> 00:01:55,079
Anything anyone noted? Any questions,
comments about the report?

45
00:01:58,466 --> 00:02:01,754
Look pretty normal, up to usual
numbers.

46
00:02:01,954 --> 00:02:04,875
May I ask what summary conviction
report is, Dave?

47
00:02:04,942 --> 00:02:09,526
Uh, where do you see it? Uh, bottom
group, uh violation group.

48
00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:12,946
7300150.

49
00:02:13,013 --> 00:02:14,042
What page is it?

50
00:02:14,109 --> 00:02:16,998
Um, [paper rustling]

51
00:02:18,094 --> 00:02:19,023
first page.

52
00:02:19,090 --> 00:02:20,219
Okay.

53
00:02:20,286 --> 00:02:22,777
Just my curiosity.

54
00:02:22,876 --> 00:02:24,005
Summary conviction?

55
00:02:24,072 --> 00:02:25,101
Yeah.

56
00:02:25,168 --> 00:02:26,097
About.

57
00:02:26,164 --> 00:02:26,997
didn't know that was.

58
00:02:27,064 --> 00:02:32,145
Summary Conviction Act is um the
Liquor Act. Uh it's it's

59
00:02:32,245 --> 00:02:35,765
it's acts in which there you can get
a ticket for.

60
00:02:35,832 --> 00:02:36,960
Oh, I got you.

61
00:02:37,027 --> 00:02:40,248
Uh like traffic court is a summary
offense, uh liquor

62
00:02:40,315 --> 00:02:43,436
liquor act. The the um you know, that
kind of stuff.

63
00:02:43,503 --> 00:02:45,031
Yeah, it's everything except traffic.

64
00:02:45,098 --> 00:02:46,326
So non-criminal.

65
00:02:46,393 --> 00:02:47,721
Okay.

66
00:02:48,385 --> 00:02:49,315
Good explanation.

67
00:02:49,382 --> 00:02:50,215
Yep.

68
00:02:50,282 --> 00:02:53,071
Any other questions about the RCMP
report?

69
00:02:54,566 --> 00:02:55,399
[paper rustling]

70
00:02:56,658 --> 00:02:59,879
Looks like quite a few checks
stopped, uh 27 or so, I believe.

71
00:02:59,946 --> 00:03:02,038
Uh 27 checks stopped, so that's good.

72
00:03:02,138 --> 00:03:04,133
They're checking on people. Make sure
our roads are safe,

73
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,721
and they do a great job for us here
in the community.

74
00:03:09,511 --> 00:03:11,105
No other questions?

75
00:03:11,603 --> 00:03:16,717
I'm just wondering what the current
sergeant have a visit us,

76
00:03:16,784 --> 00:03:18,876
visit every six months or is it once
a year?

77
00:03:19,075 --> 00:03:20,702
We were doing every six months.

78
00:03:20,769 --> 00:03:21,602
Six months.

79
00:03:21,669 --> 00:03:22,997
Six months, okay. Okay.

80
00:03:25,156 --> 00:03:27,082
I think I have a motion on acceptance
from.

81
00:03:27,149 --> 00:03:28,975
Well, I guess we don't discuss course
box, right?

82
00:03:29,042 --> 00:03:32,927
We'll wait till the end and uh accept
all the course box my lump sum.

83
00:03:33,625 --> 00:03:36,846
Next, we have a letter from the Prime
Minister's office. Response

84
00:03:36,913 --> 00:03:38,806
to our letter about the Snowbirds.

85
00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:42,126
So they get an opportunity to read
that.

86
00:03:42,193 --> 00:03:43,026
Yeah.

87
00:03:43,093 --> 00:03:46,413
It's nice to acknowledge that they've
received our letter about

88
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,399
the Snowbirds and our support towards
that.

89
00:03:50,466 --> 00:03:54,284
And they've noted it and passed it on
to the Ministry of National

90
00:03:54,351 --> 00:03:55,184
Defense.

91
00:03:55,251 --> 00:03:56,778
So that's good. We hear back from
them.

92
00:03:56,845 --> 00:03:59,369
I thought that was a fairly quick
response personally.

93
00:03:59,436 --> 00:04:00,269
It was, yep.

94
00:04:00,336 --> 00:04:01,731
Yeah. [light laughter]

95
00:04:03,621 --> 00:04:04,454
Any other comments on that?

96
00:04:04,521 --> 00:04:07,012
Possibly have been in his computer
already. [laughter]

97
00:04:07,111 --> 00:04:09,801
Mass email was sent out, yeah.
[laughter]

98
00:04:09,901 --> 00:04:11,495
Any other comments on that?

99
00:04:12,787 --> 00:04:13,620
Okay, move on to the next one.

100
00:04:13,687 --> 00:04:17,573
Letter from Minister of Health and
Addictions, an invitation.

101
00:04:18,868 --> 00:04:19,701
[paper rustling]

102
00:04:25,045 --> 00:04:26,373
Interesting.

103
00:04:29,130 --> 00:04:30,458
Page 13.

104
00:04:34,909 --> 00:04:36,603
Oh, sorry, page 23, sorry.

105
00:04:36,702 --> 00:04:38,030
Alright.

106
00:04:38,994 --> 00:04:44,108
So they've invited me to attend a
meeting at the Westound District

107
00:04:44,175 --> 00:04:47,296
Primary Care Center to talk about
team-based care initiatives.

108
00:04:47,363 --> 00:04:50,651
There's supposed to be a special
announcement made there by Minister
Carr.

109
00:04:50,850 --> 00:04:56,163
So I have a conflict here because I'm
to be at the Dunes Casino for

110
00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:58,156
that recruitment day with the
doctors.

111
00:04:58,223 --> 00:04:59,416
So

112
00:04:59,483 --> 00:05:01,748
being invited to this.

113
00:05:01,815 --> 00:05:05,045
I probably should attend this one
being that Minister's going to be in
such.

114
00:05:05,112 --> 00:05:07,544
I guess is there any member of
council would like to attend that

115
00:05:07,952 --> 00:05:11,133
uh Dunes Casino booth the uh
recruitment for doctors.

116
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,534
We uh What's the date on that one?

117
00:05:13,601 --> 00:05:14,451
September 10th.

118
00:05:14,518 --> 00:05:15,351
Oh.

119
00:05:15,418 --> 00:05:16,536
Same day.

120
00:05:16,603 --> 00:05:19,313
I didn't see the date.

121
00:05:21,256 --> 00:05:23,139
I'm away then.

122
00:05:23,663 --> 00:05:26,555
I could swing on here.

123
00:05:26,622 --> 00:05:27,950
Unless somebody else wants to.

124
00:05:29,033 --> 00:05:30,388
I I don't.

125
00:05:30,498 --> 00:05:31,826
Doesn't matter to me.

126
00:05:32,341 --> 00:05:34,005
Maybe we could go together.

127
00:05:34,603 --> 00:05:35,821
We could go together.

128
00:05:35,888 --> 00:05:37,303
Yeah, you sure could.

129
00:05:37,811 --> 00:05:39,328
You want to assemble a team

130
00:05:39,395 --> 00:05:42,616
to lure in these young doctors to
come to Rosetown.

131
00:05:42,683 --> 00:05:43,516
Lure is such a

132
00:05:43,583 --> 00:05:44,416
[laughter]

133
00:05:44,483 --> 00:05:46,000
Okay, persuade?

134
00:05:46,067 --> 00:05:47,481
[laughter]

135
00:05:47,581 --> 00:05:49,008
Persuade.

136
00:05:49,075 --> 00:05:51,576
And the way you said it too.

137
00:05:51,726 --> 00:05:53,213
I'm pretty sure I can make this one
too.

138
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:54,608
Okay.

139
00:05:56,389 --> 00:06:00,865
And we're going to collaborate with
uh SA that a couple of members

140
00:06:00,932 --> 00:06:05,179
and maybe get Kelly some of that
booth to like the booth stuff for
information.

141
00:06:05,246 --> 00:06:06,079
Yeah.

142
00:06:06,146 --> 00:06:06,979
take this time.

143
00:06:07,046 --> 00:06:07,892
take the time.

144
00:06:07,959 --> 00:06:11,011
I'm in your window, your car, Greg.

145
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:11,967
That big sign.

146
00:06:12,034 --> 00:06:15,148
So who's going to that then?
Counselor Carlson and Arport?

147
00:06:15,215 --> 00:06:16,048
Okay.

148
00:06:16,115 --> 00:06:18,014
So I'll just communicate with you
then and make plans.

149
00:06:18,081 --> 00:06:19,239
So,

150
00:06:19,306 --> 00:06:21,431
I got to put some lights around the
flash.

151
00:06:21,498 --> 00:06:22,331
Sure.

152
00:06:22,398 --> 00:06:24,244
Do we need a motion?

153
00:06:24,573 --> 00:06:25,582
Flashing red.

154
00:06:25,649 --> 00:06:26,977
And maybe he said ding ding.

155
00:06:27,253 --> 00:06:30,284
Jan probably still has 50 some pins
to give out, so.

156
00:06:30,351 --> 00:06:31,184
[laughter]

157
00:06:32,085 --> 00:06:33,948
I believe there's a motion there.

158
00:06:34,088 --> 00:06:36,449
Any other comments on that?

159
00:06:37,057 --> 00:06:38,992
Okay, we'll move on the next one.

160
00:06:39,059 --> 00:06:41,879
A letter from the hospital,
Behavioral Health therapist.

161
00:06:43,204 --> 00:06:49,630
So receive correspondence saying that
they're going to have a behavioral
health consultant

162
00:06:49,770 --> 00:06:52,502
who'll be available at the Rosetown
District Primary Care Center

163
00:06:52,569 --> 00:06:55,837
every Monday and Wednesday starting
August the 10th.

164
00:06:56,545 --> 00:06:59,706
So they will uh support a variety of
mental health and wellness concerns

165
00:06:59,773 --> 00:07:03,858
and can assist individuals in
assessing appropriate resources and
care.

166
00:07:04,864 --> 00:07:10,327
So, this is going to be just a
welcome asset here to our uh our
hospital

167
00:07:10,394 --> 00:07:11,891
to have this service there.

168
00:07:11,958 --> 00:07:13,555
and I think it's uh much needed.

169
00:07:13,622 --> 00:07:16,404
There is some a lot of different
issues from, you know, to do with

170
00:07:16,471 --> 00:07:19,132
mental wellness and

171
00:07:19,998 --> 00:07:22,761
I mean, I got a list down here if I
go, right from anxiety, depression,

172
00:07:22,828 --> 00:07:25,989
uh insomnia, stress.

173
00:07:26,056 --> 00:07:28,627
Postpartum concerns.

174
00:07:28,766 --> 00:07:29,633
Parenting challenges.

175
00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:32,313
Lifestyle and behavioral changes.

176
00:07:32,532 --> 00:07:35,681
Health eating and weight related
behaviors.

177
00:07:36,288 --> 00:07:39,539
And uh smoking cessation and
substance abuse.

178
00:07:39,606 --> 00:07:41,960
So it's very much needed. I think
this is going to be a great asset

179
00:07:42,027 --> 00:07:43,883
to our community.

180
00:07:43,950 --> 00:07:46,610
So I'm really glad that they're
starting with this.

181
00:07:47,696 --> 00:07:51,851
Have another level of care there to
look after people.

182
00:07:52,140 --> 00:07:53,667
Any other comments on that?

183
00:07:53,734 --> 00:07:56,743
Will that be something that's on our
website or could be put on our
website?

184
00:07:56,833 --> 00:08:00,300
We did share this poster on our
website.

185
00:08:00,748 --> 00:08:02,076
Yeah, and Facebook.

186
00:08:02,462 --> 00:08:03,790
Good.

187
00:08:06,009 --> 00:08:09,519
I know a lot of people that have to
drive into the city to get some of
that.

188
00:08:09,586 --> 00:08:10,419
And so

189
00:08:10,486 --> 00:08:11,319
Absolutely.

190
00:08:11,386 --> 00:08:12,438
like it's really great to add on to

191
00:08:12,505 --> 00:08:17,250
more benefits here in our town and to
to be based out of here.

192
00:08:17,317 --> 00:08:20,399
We I think we have the staff to to
help with this as well

193
00:08:20,466 --> 00:08:23,504
to assist, so it's really great.

194
00:08:28,676 --> 00:08:31,160
And next will be on later on under
new business at Lete's Haven,

195
00:08:31,227 --> 00:08:34,286
a request for road closure.

196
00:08:34,355 --> 00:08:36,368
So we'll have that later on under new
business.

197
00:08:37,245 --> 00:08:39,519
Have a motion to accept the
correspondence.

198
00:08:39,586 --> 00:08:40,419
So moved, Mary.

199
00:08:40,486 --> 00:08:41,319
Council Garrett.

200
00:08:41,386 --> 00:08:42,657
All those in favor?

201
00:08:42,724 --> 00:08:44,052
That was carried.

202
00:08:48,183 --> 00:08:49,332
That does go. Next.

203
00:08:49,399 --> 00:08:52,089
Financial reports, Bank
reconciliation.

204
00:08:53,633 --> 00:08:59,930
So we have an adjusted bank balance
of $4,192,016.23.

205
00:09:01,484 --> 00:09:03,221
I can point out for Council,

206
00:09:03,288 --> 00:09:06,977
so last year same time period, we had
5.8 million, 2024, we had 4.2
million,

207
00:09:07,044 --> 00:09:09,567
and 2023, we had 5 million even,

208
00:09:09,634 --> 00:09:11,440
so over a three-year average,

209
00:09:11,507 --> 00:09:13,523
that's 4.7 million in our bank
account at this time of the year.

210
00:09:13,590 --> 00:09:17,309
So we're about 12% below the
three-year average, but keeping in
mind,

211
00:09:17,376 --> 00:09:19,441
we had a large paving project this
year

212
00:09:19,508 --> 00:09:22,639
around $800,000 or just short of
$800,000,

213
00:09:22,706 --> 00:09:24,333
as well as UFA expenses to date,

214
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,365
and those have all been budgeted out
of operations,

215
00:09:26,432 --> 00:09:27,840
or hasn't been any transfers from
reserves yet.

216
00:09:27,907 --> 00:09:29,235
Okay.

217
00:09:30,786 --> 00:09:33,785
Any other questions about the bank
reconciliation?

218
00:09:34,274 --> 00:09:35,602
No.

219
00:09:36,316 --> 00:09:37,791
Have a motion for approval.

220
00:09:38,299 --> 00:09:39,138
Counselor Ospore.

221
00:09:39,205 --> 00:09:40,424
All those in favor?

222
00:09:40,491 --> 00:09:41,819
That was carried.

223
00:09:45,582 --> 00:09:47,764
Next, we have detailed financial
statements.

224
00:09:50,603 --> 00:09:52,539
Anything you want to highlight on Dan
at all?

225
00:09:52,606 --> 00:09:57,022
Yep. So, uh, I didn't see anything in
revenues that I need to point out,

226
00:09:57,089 --> 00:09:58,816
but uh, I'll go down to the expenses,

227
00:09:58,883 --> 00:10:00,211
and if you look at the screen, it
might be

228
00:10:10,963 --> 00:10:13,188
Uh, so it's I've got it here though
anyways. I've got a backup.

229
00:10:13,255 --> 00:10:17,273
Uh, so under expenditures General
Government 510 290

230
00:10:17,340 --> 00:10:18,867
and we're not going to have it on the
screen because

231
00:10:18,934 --> 00:10:20,787
I can't read and do it at the same
time.

232
00:10:20,877 --> 00:10:23,629
Uh 510 290 lease and agreements,
that's $414

233
00:10:23,696 --> 00:10:25,652
for Clover and Munisoft agreements.

234
00:10:25,719 --> 00:10:27,884
I didn't know what the words, I had
to look them up.

235
00:10:27,951 --> 00:10:30,235
Uh and most of these are questions
that I have myself.

236
00:10:30,302 --> 00:10:31,916
So I'm just to you.

237
00:10:32,587 --> 00:10:34,320
Under general government 510 600
office equipment.

238
00:10:34,387 --> 00:10:37,140
We had $4,420 for two new computers
for the CAO

239
00:10:37,207 --> 00:10:40,146
as well as Angela, that was approved.

240
00:10:40,265 --> 00:10:43,387
Under 510 900 under miscellaneous
expenses, that's

241
00:10:43,454 --> 00:10:45,469
$550 for green line consulting,

242
00:10:45,536 --> 00:10:48,664
the HR firm that we reach out to when
we need them.

243
00:10:49,352 --> 00:10:52,234
Only one under protective services
that caught my attention

244
00:10:52,301 --> 00:10:54,814
was 520 430 under bylaw enforcement
supplies,

245
00:10:54,881 --> 00:10:57,993
$1,749 for a new computer.

246
00:10:58,060 --> 00:11:02,108
So, uh when we were transitioning to
a new bylaw officer,

247
00:11:02,175 --> 00:11:04,309
we identified that the computer is
very old

248
00:11:04,376 --> 00:11:06,013
and we would choose for an upgrade.

249
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,909
That puts us over the budget in that
particular GL account.

250
00:11:09,976 --> 00:11:12,429
However, the salary for the bylaw
officer is going to be

251
00:11:12,496 --> 00:11:14,967
way under because they don't have a
bylaw officer.

252
00:11:15,665 --> 00:11:19,115
Uh so overall that the protective
services funding group I expect

253
00:11:19,182 --> 00:11:21,108
will be somewhat flush, so.

254
00:11:21,175 --> 00:11:22,503
Okay.

255
00:11:23,068 --> 00:11:26,826
Under transportation 53250 under
transportation maintenance

256
00:11:26,893 --> 00:11:29,905
training and travel, we had $1,293
for manlift

257
00:11:29,972 --> 00:11:33,071
training. That's what that was for.

258
00:11:33,389 --> 00:11:36,660
53260 for transportation workshop
repair contracts

259
00:11:36,727 --> 00:11:42,008
for $6,243 was the security system at
Public Works building.

260
00:11:42,386 --> 00:11:45,886
53260 transportation street
maintenance contracts,

261
00:11:45,953 --> 00:11:49,692
$127,200 for Southwest patch peving,

262
00:11:49,759 --> 00:11:53,169
that was just patch peving around
town.

263
00:11:53,236 --> 00:11:54,196
Yep.

264
00:11:54,263 --> 00:11:57,723
Uh 530 450 transportation main
drainage, $10,514

265
00:11:57,790 --> 00:12:01,755
for manhole cover and drainage parts.

266
00:12:02,143 --> 00:12:06,112
530460 transportation street
maintenance and materials,

267
00:12:06,179 --> 00:12:10,124
$8,060 that was hot mix and traffic
paint.

268
00:12:10,802 --> 00:12:14,122
53600 transportation capital paving,
$646,422

269
00:12:14,189 --> 00:12:18,782
again for paving projects for 2026.

270
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,169
53600 transportation planning and
subdivision contracts,

271
00:12:23,236 --> 00:12:28,935
$19,788 for the UFA related surveying
and engineering.

272
00:12:29,024 --> 00:12:31,608
Under environment health services, I
had nothing that stood out.

273
00:12:31,675 --> 00:12:34,972
Public health and welfare, nothing
that stood out to comment.

274
00:12:35,232 --> 00:12:39,349
Under recreation 57210, recreation
rink contracts,

275
00:12:39,416 --> 00:12:43,105
$1,157 that was for the kitchen
exhaust fan

276
00:12:43,172 --> 00:12:47,058
inspection and hockey board cleaning.

277
00:12:47,327 --> 00:12:50,159
Under recreation 57220, it's
recreation training,

278
00:12:50,226 --> 00:12:53,975
travel and meals, $646 for lifeguard
training

279
00:12:54,042 --> 00:12:59,243
plus times two as well as someone on
manlift training.

280
00:12:59,532 --> 00:13:02,763
57420 recreation equipment and
maintenance,

281
00:13:02,830 --> 00:13:05,921
$1,905 for vehicle maintenance as
well as a set of tires,

282
00:13:05,988 --> 00:13:08,389
which was the main expenditure there.

283
00:13:08,618 --> 00:13:12,218
57420 recreation parks and
Boulevards, $5,168

284
00:13:12,285 --> 00:13:16,270
for tiller repairs and weed spray.

285
00:13:16,420 --> 00:13:19,382
And then the last one is utilities,
58430 under

286
00:13:19,449 --> 00:13:21,783
utilities, water maintenance and
supplies,

287
00:13:21,850 --> 00:13:24,513
$12,590 for hydrant supplies.

288
00:13:24,580 --> 00:13:28,239
That resulted in an overall monthly
deficit of $427.90

289
00:13:28,306 --> 00:13:32,341
$427,824 for the month, so.

290
00:13:34,264 --> 00:13:35,711
This is probably for another meeting.

291
00:13:35,778 --> 00:13:38,601
But could we go back to that one
about the paving?

292
00:13:38,668 --> 00:13:41,072
There was 100 and some thousand for
Southwest coming.

293
00:13:41,139 --> 00:13:41,972
for patching.

294
00:13:42,039 --> 00:13:42,872
Patching, yeah.

295
00:13:42,939 --> 00:13:46,210
I wonder if we should bring that up
at the budget and look at some

296
00:13:46,277 --> 00:13:49,527
more patching that ease the burden on
public works.

297
00:13:49,594 --> 00:13:51,560
Oh, so that's that's to do like the
dig jobs

298
00:13:51,627 --> 00:13:53,274
when they have to dig water leaks,
that's a big huge.

299
00:13:53,341 --> 00:13:55,545
Everything just get just get them to
come in and maybe

300
00:13:55,612 --> 00:13:56,791
help them out, you know?

301
00:13:56,858 --> 00:14:00,447
In case there are shortages in the
summer holidays,

302
00:14:00,514 --> 00:14:02,599
have them here longer and

303
00:14:02,666 --> 00:14:05,090
they can, you know, if we want to
walk the streets

304
00:14:05,157 --> 00:14:07,389
or whoever wants to walk the streets
and they can fix it.

305
00:14:07,548 --> 00:14:10,062
Maybe get a few more streets done and
and

306
00:14:10,129 --> 00:14:12,493
like I say, takes some pressure off
our our staff.

307
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:16,063
You've seen around town where they've
done some of these like

308
00:14:16,130 --> 00:14:18,441
where King Street, they just stripped
on the center of King

309
00:14:18,508 --> 00:14:20,314
Street and then lots of these other
ones we've done sections of it.

310
00:14:20,381 --> 00:14:22,516
But I think there's some more that,
you know, we can probably

311
00:14:22,583 --> 00:14:23,672
do a lot more.

312
00:14:23,739 --> 00:14:26,730
Yeah. So maybe you know, if we wanted
maybe do more of that,

313
00:14:26,797 --> 00:14:29,420
Yeah, like at our budget meeting that
maybe gets by

314
00:14:29,487 --> 00:14:32,536
so we can get around to.

315
00:14:32,895 --> 00:14:34,907
If we're not going to do the streets
anyways and

316
00:14:35,844 --> 00:14:38,385
spend some money on patching and

317
00:14:38,743 --> 00:14:41,476
like I say, give the public works
time to get some other

318
00:14:41,543 --> 00:14:43,960
stuff done and not get too over, you
know, overwhelmed with

319
00:14:44,027 --> 00:14:46,836
the projects, right, that come up,
so.

320
00:14:46,903 --> 00:14:48,141
I'm sure we've done more.

321
00:14:48,208 --> 00:14:50,513
I'm sure if we've done more concert
councils, there'd be

322
00:14:50,580 --> 00:14:52,236
more people happy with the things the
way things are going.

323
00:14:52,303 --> 00:14:54,946
Well, and and also it just shows a
little more um we're paying

324
00:14:55,013 --> 00:14:58,968
attention to it as well as diligence
not following.

325
00:14:59,035 --> 00:15:02,006
behind every year so far and

326
00:15:02,073 --> 00:15:04,597
yes, there's major projects that need
to be done.

327
00:15:04,664 --> 00:15:06,291
But in the interim time maybe

328
00:15:06,358 --> 00:15:07,984
we could have them come in and do
more work.

329
00:15:08,051 --> 00:15:10,615
you know, during the next public
works meeting we can

330
00:15:10,682 --> 00:15:12,308
discuss this and I'm sure

331
00:15:12,375 --> 00:15:14,739
about recommendation what it is that
probably could be done.

332
00:15:14,806 --> 00:15:17,260
Yeah. Yeah, but it's a good point.

333
00:15:17,327 --> 00:15:19,116
I'm not sure whatever anybody else's
thoughts are

334
00:15:19,183 --> 00:15:20,399
on that or if it's just

335
00:15:20,466 --> 00:15:22,850
I thought they're really great. There
is if they had

336
00:15:22,917 --> 00:15:27,413
was early nice addition and get us
through if somebody's really

337
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:28,808
Exactly. Yeah.

338
00:15:29,034 --> 00:15:30,778
I agree with you.

339
00:15:33,428 --> 00:15:36,367
Okay, any other questions about the
financial statement?

340
00:15:38,290 --> 00:15:40,173
Moving none. Motion for approval.

341
00:15:40,263 --> 00:15:43,511
Counselor Kath. All those in favor.
Pass carried.

342
00:15:45,653 --> 00:15:47,060
Item two, approval of accounts.

343
00:15:47,127 --> 00:15:53,377
We have online payments from 2026-095
to 2026-010.

344
00:15:53,444 --> 00:15:58,296
In amount of $66,599 and 59 cents.

345
00:15:58,585 --> 00:16:00,687
Any questions about the online
payments?

346
00:16:15,851 --> 00:16:17,844
Moving none. Got a motion for
approval.

347
00:16:18,143 --> 00:16:21,550
Counselor Carlson, all those in
favor. That's carried.

348
00:16:22,298 --> 00:16:26,153
Next we have pay period number 16.

349
00:16:26,970 --> 00:16:31,314
In amount of $49,373 and 12 cents.

350
00:16:34,254 --> 00:16:36,525
Any questions about pay period number
16?

351
00:16:43,191 --> 00:16:45,044
Moving none. Motion for approval.

352
00:16:46,459 --> 00:16:49,149
Counselor Kath. All those in favor.
That's carried.

353
00:16:50,544 --> 00:16:51,872
Oh, I see. Got you.

354
00:16:54,210 --> 00:16:56,544
Okay, moving on to department head
reports.

355
00:16:56,611 --> 00:16:58,913
First off, we have the administration
report.

356
00:17:06,564 --> 00:17:08,460
I I really have nothing outside of my
report, your worship,

357
00:17:08,527 --> 00:17:11,168
unless there's any questions at all,
so

358
00:17:14,954 --> 00:17:18,981
Looks like uh 80.8% of taxes have
been collected as of June 30th.

359
00:17:19,048 --> 00:17:23,721
So that's a good number. That that's
usually about where we're at.

360
00:17:32,130 --> 00:17:35,431
Any comments or questions on the
administration?

361
00:17:35,498 --> 00:17:36,826
No, I don't.

362
00:17:40,878 --> 00:17:43,698
Okay, next we have the recreation
director report.

363
00:17:48,580 --> 00:17:51,571
Public Works has been continuing to
work at the cemetery finishing

364
00:17:51,638 --> 00:17:53,995
up that Columbarium area that we're
developing,

365
00:17:54,062 --> 00:17:56,623
the family Columbarium area.

366
00:17:56,690 --> 00:18:00,073
Uh, we've been doing some spraying
and roto tilling again along the
trail

367
00:18:00,140 --> 00:18:02,747
and in the park, spraying.

368
00:18:07,410 --> 00:18:08,798
Stuff at the ball diamonds is
wrapping up.

369
00:18:08,865 --> 00:18:11,119
There's still some slow pitch, but
other than that,

370
00:18:11,186 --> 00:18:13,787
everything's kind of wrapped up in
the ball diamonds.

371
00:18:16,666 --> 00:18:18,990
Everything's been pretty busy with
the Tourism Center and the

372
00:18:19,057 --> 00:18:20,754
Fun Squad program. So

373
00:18:20,821 --> 00:18:24,467
our kids, most of them are done at
the end of this week.

374
00:18:25,005 --> 00:18:29,063
Uh, cuz the kids go back to school
soon.

375
00:18:29,130 --> 00:18:32,508
They're back on like the 2nd of
September, so it's seems early.

376
00:18:32,976 --> 00:18:35,489
But we usually, we usually give not

377
00:18:35,556 --> 00:18:37,293
It's early for nowadays.

378
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:38,193
Yeah.

379
00:18:38,260 --> 00:18:40,527
Yeah. So um we usually give them the
last week off

380
00:18:40,594 --> 00:18:42,619
cuz a lot of our university kids are
on the move

381
00:18:42,686 --> 00:18:45,289
going wherever they're going.

382
00:18:45,356 --> 00:18:46,189
So

383
00:18:46,256 --> 00:18:48,737
So we'll be done. The pool closes
Monday.

384
00:18:49,564 --> 00:18:50,513
So in a week.

385
00:18:50,580 --> 00:18:52,028
We started early though.

386
00:18:52,095 --> 00:18:52,928
Yeah.

387
00:18:52,995 --> 00:18:54,323
But you started early, which is good.

388
00:18:54,390 --> 00:18:55,688
So you got a few weeks in this year.

389
00:18:55,755 --> 00:18:56,588
Yeah.

390
00:18:56,655 --> 00:18:57,488
Yeah.

391
00:18:57,555 --> 00:18:59,667
So, but we lose

392
00:18:59,756 --> 00:19:01,084
Yeah, we lose

393
00:19:03,024 --> 00:19:06,444
like six or seven lifeguards going to
university.

394
00:19:06,511 --> 00:19:09,802
So we just don't have staff to keep
it open.

395
00:19:09,869 --> 00:19:10,702
I know.

396
00:19:10,769 --> 00:19:12,715
It it's gone really fast, so.

397
00:19:12,894 --> 00:19:15,866
And legally we need so many on staff
to operate, correct?

398
00:19:15,933 --> 00:19:16,766
Mhm.

399
00:19:16,833 --> 00:19:18,110
Okay.

400
00:19:18,177 --> 00:19:19,326
So,

401
00:19:19,393 --> 00:19:21,710
A comment on the walking trail which
a walker on the walking

402
00:19:21,777 --> 00:19:24,201
trail said the trail is in the best
shape

403
00:19:24,268 --> 00:19:26,928
it has been for years.

404
00:19:26,995 --> 00:19:28,622
Yes, they've been doing lots of work
out there.

405
00:19:28,689 --> 00:19:30,594
Spraying and roto tilling again.

406
00:19:30,661 --> 00:19:31,494
Yeah.

407
00:19:31,561 --> 00:19:32,590
And dragging it.

408
00:19:32,657 --> 00:19:33,490
He said he's really impressed.

409
00:19:33,557 --> 00:19:36,694
We dragged it with our uh we have a
rascal groomer, so that we use

410
00:19:36,761 --> 00:19:39,879
like on the ball diamonds and they
usually use that on the trail as
well.

411
00:19:39,946 --> 00:19:43,277
And we got new little tines for it,
which is really helped out.

412
00:19:43,344 --> 00:19:44,662
So.

413
00:19:44,729 --> 00:19:45,562
Yeah.

414
00:19:45,629 --> 00:19:46,956
So it's great.

415
00:19:47,514 --> 00:19:49,151
more attended to and it gets groomed
like that.

416
00:19:49,218 --> 00:19:50,237
Yes, yeah.

417
00:19:50,304 --> 00:19:51,393
It's great.

418
00:19:51,460 --> 00:19:52,293
Mhm.

419
00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:54,889
One correction, you've got it down
the sprinkle repairs at

420
00:19:54,956 --> 00:19:58,134
Lights of Columbus. I think you mean
the Kinsman if you've been.

421
00:19:58,201 --> 00:19:59,589
Oh yes, that is correct. Yeah.

422
00:19:59,656 --> 00:20:00,831
Um so we're

423
00:20:00,898 --> 00:20:02,263
there's they're supposed to be a
Wednesday.

424
00:20:02,330 --> 00:20:03,163
[laughter]

425
00:20:03,716 --> 00:20:06,356
we've kind of it's kind of been like
a

426
00:20:06,423 --> 00:20:08,697
They're coming up Wednesday, so we
will help them all.

427
00:20:08,764 --> 00:20:09,597
[laughter]

428
00:20:09,753 --> 00:20:11,082
So,

429
00:20:12,194 --> 00:20:15,444
So, we had the urban camp workers
came out from the city to help out.

430
00:20:15,511 --> 00:20:17,116
They painted a lot of bleachers.

431
00:20:17,183 --> 00:20:23,323
They painted, they washed walls at
the Elks Hall. They, um, picked
garbage.

432
00:20:23,390 --> 00:20:26,601
Picked garbage at the landfill and
along Marshall.

433
00:20:26,668 --> 00:20:27,501
Excellent.

434
00:20:27,568 --> 00:20:30,878
Um, they helped paint some of the
dugouts and the ball diamonds, so,

435
00:20:30,945 --> 00:20:31,778
That's great.

436
00:20:31,845 --> 00:20:34,336
Yeah, so it was they got a lot of
work done in the week that they're
here, so.

437
00:20:34,403 --> 00:20:35,236
It's.

438
00:20:35,303 --> 00:20:36,655
It's an excellent we can uh have them
come out and do that for us

439
00:20:36,722 --> 00:20:38,576
and that, so,

440
00:20:38,656 --> 00:20:41,637
nice to keep them busy for themselves
to do something and as well as us to

441
00:20:41,704 --> 00:20:44,405
clean everything up. That was
awesome.

442
00:20:44,554 --> 00:20:45,882
Mhm.

443
00:20:48,041 --> 00:20:51,658
And the Bluetooth timers are just to
be more remote to set up the timers.

444
00:20:51,725 --> 00:20:54,888
Yeah, and then you can actually set
them, they'll um, you can actually
set

445
00:20:54,955 --> 00:20:57,478
the sprinklers to the water through
the sprinklers to the water through
the night instead of having to be
there to

446
00:20:57,545 --> 00:20:59,858
turn them on and off all the time.

447
00:20:59,925 --> 00:21:00,758
Oh, yeah, right.

448
00:21:00,825 --> 00:21:02,153
So.

449
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,563
any other questions for our
recreation director?

450
00:21:07,630 --> 00:21:08,958
Mhm.

451
00:21:10,171 --> 00:21:11,499
Hey, thanks, Kelly.

452
00:21:13,190 --> 00:21:15,232
Next, we have Mayor and Council
Forum.

453
00:21:15,860 --> 00:21:18,371
Any counselor that anything you want
to speak on?

454
00:21:18,703 --> 00:21:19,536
Oh.

455
00:21:19,603 --> 00:21:20,436
[laughter]

456
00:21:21,708 --> 00:21:25,185
Well, I went to council school last
week and I got schooled.

457
00:21:25,252 --> 00:21:26,085
[laughter]

458
00:21:27,009 --> 00:21:32,281
Um, I did a really fantastic session
with uh Gordon Macintosh, um,

459
00:21:32,348 --> 00:21:37,709
collaborating for results.

460
00:21:37,779 --> 00:21:41,645
Um, so what I liked about it was it
was very interactive.

461
00:21:41,954 --> 00:21:45,532
Um, and he asked a lot of questions
and called on people that weren't

462
00:21:45,599 --> 00:21:48,749
necessarily like going to speak.

463
00:21:48,838 --> 00:21:53,092
So it felt very natural and very, um,
like, you know, just off the cuff.

464
00:21:53,159 --> 00:21:53,992
Improv. Yeah.

465
00:21:54,059 --> 00:21:55,181
Yeah.

466
00:21:55,248 --> 00:22:00,948
Um, and so he basically talked about
how to identify areas that you can

467
00:22:01,015 --> 00:22:05,432
collaborate, I mean, with either
other communities or maybe groups
within your

468
00:22:05,499 --> 00:22:09,256
communities.

469
00:22:09,515 --> 00:22:14,399
Um, ways to identify how you should
collaborate, um, and then how to kind

470
00:22:14,466 --> 00:22:17,934
of create an action plan from that.

471
00:22:18,243 --> 00:22:22,071
Um, so I thought that was really,
really great. That was like a whole
morning

472
00:22:22,138 --> 00:22:25,001
that we spent on that, which I really
enjoyed.

473
00:22:25,068 --> 00:22:27,550
Did it give any examples, sir, uh, of
the sport, any examples of the

474
00:22:27,617 --> 00:22:30,249
collaboration?

475
00:22:32,052 --> 00:22:34,187
Um, I mean, I'll talk about it all.

476
00:22:34,254 --> 00:22:38,510
Yes, however, I think the issue is is
that because I don't know very many

477
00:22:38,577 --> 00:22:40,261
of the community names.

478
00:22:40,328 --> 00:22:41,570
Okay.

479
00:22:41,637 --> 00:22:43,829
But just an example of what they were
collaborating about.

480
00:22:44,167 --> 00:22:47,345
Oh, um, like lots of different
things. Some share equipment.

481
00:22:47,412 --> 00:22:48,245
Okay.

482
00:22:48,312 --> 00:22:52,463
Or, um, one of the examples was they
created a bridge.

483
00:22:52,530 --> 00:22:55,232
Um. Yeah, like lots of

484
00:22:55,299 --> 00:22:56,132
Oh.

485
00:22:56,199 --> 00:23:00,832
Kind of like that uh Canada USA
bridge, the Gordy Hall bridge.

486
00:23:00,899 --> 00:23:02,227
Yeah.

487
00:23:02,539 --> 00:23:04,123
Or not like that bridge.

488
00:23:04,190 --> 00:23:05,627
Not like that, yeah.

489
00:23:05,836 --> 00:23:09,425
Um, I don't know. If the community
needed a bridge, so they collaborated

490
00:23:09,492 --> 00:23:11,994
like with the RMs to try to figure
out how to fund it.

491
00:23:12,061 --> 00:23:12,894
Okay.

492
00:23:12,961 --> 00:23:13,794
Good.

493
00:23:13,861 --> 00:23:18,525
Um, we talked about lots of um, like
pros and maybe some challenges that

494
00:23:18,592 --> 00:23:23,376
you would have for collaborating with
other communities and other groups.

495
00:23:23,675 --> 00:23:29,732
Um, so yeah, I thought it was really,
really interesting and fun.

496
00:23:30,051 --> 00:23:34,367
Um, and then the ombudsman,
obviously, they did a really good
presentation on

497
00:23:34,434 --> 00:23:37,813
fairness, civility, and council
success.

498
00:23:38,381 --> 00:23:42,934
Um, that one was on like the first
day, so,

499
00:23:43,263 --> 00:23:47,818
not remembering as much about that,
but I got a big pamphlet, so we can
uh

500
00:23:47,885 --> 00:23:52,002
once I have time to do another
review, I will update you if there
was anything,

501
00:23:52,069 --> 00:23:54,394
um, that really stood out to me.

502
00:23:54,461 --> 00:23:58,976
One thing I really liked about
Omismon, they almost take a neutral
position.

503
00:23:59,043 --> 00:24:02,762
They're kind of there to help council
as well as residents and the public

504
00:24:02,829 --> 00:24:06,947
and stuff, collaborate together. I
really like that. They kind of take a

505
00:24:07,014 --> 00:24:11,331
non-biased opinion on things and so
whenever there's something that goes
on,

506
00:24:11,398 --> 00:24:15,905
they try and you know, mediate that,
right? So, help steer people, right?
So.

507
00:24:15,972 --> 00:24:19,999
Yeah, they are a good organization
and I think uh, obviously a great

508
00:24:20,066 --> 00:24:23,397
resource, um, for anybody.

509
00:24:23,464 --> 00:24:28,257
Because you can just call them up and
chat, chat with them anytime you
like.

510
00:24:28,476 --> 00:24:29,804
That's excellent.

511
00:24:30,757 --> 00:24:32,252
Okay, anyone else?

512
00:24:32,382 --> 00:24:34,255
any member of council anything to
comment on?

513
00:24:34,354 --> 00:24:37,833
Uh, and I know I texted Damon about
this, but today I was like, I'll

514
00:24:37,900 --> 00:24:39,306
actually catch it.

515
00:24:39,373 --> 00:24:44,309
So on the at first and second, kind
of by the by the PCC had been
building,

516
00:24:44,376 --> 00:24:49,689
that intersection occasionally has a
rank rank odor. It smells like wet,

517
00:24:49,756 --> 00:24:51,869
rotten garbage.

518
00:24:51,936 --> 00:24:52,769
Okay.

519
00:24:52,836 --> 00:24:56,913
So I had several members talked to me
about it like from So I I let Damon

520
00:24:56,980 --> 00:24:59,681
know and um, but I hadn't smelled it
myself.

521
00:24:59,748 --> 00:25:02,640
Today I did. It's when it's up, it's
not good.

522
00:25:02,707 --> 00:25:04,035
It was.

523
00:25:04,430 --> 00:25:05,263
Yeah.

524
00:25:05,330 --> 00:25:06,163
Yeah.

525
00:25:06,230 --> 00:25:07,259
Where is it at again?

526
00:25:07,326 --> 00:25:10,855
Uh, the it's the intersection of
First Street and Second Avenue US.

527
00:25:10,922 --> 00:25:12,290
So by the admin building? By the
admin?

528
00:25:12,357 --> 00:25:17,581
Yeah, like the Percy center, like the
Percy center, like the Percy center
mid building, the the you know, the
clinic and everything like that
intersection.

529
00:25:17,648 --> 00:25:18,481
Mhm.

530
00:25:18,548 --> 00:25:20,224
It kind of moves around a little bit.

531
00:25:20,291 --> 00:25:21,124
Okay.

532
00:25:21,191 --> 00:25:24,045
So usually it's either from the from
what people tell me,

533
00:25:24,112 --> 00:25:26,635
it's either the coming from the storm
drain

534
00:25:26,702 --> 00:25:29,525
kind of on the corner by the credit
union building or from

535
00:25:29,592 --> 00:25:32,302
the storm drain by the condo.

536
00:25:32,369 --> 00:25:33,202
Okay.

537
00:25:33,269 --> 00:25:38,525
So it seems to move like there but
I've had people who were parking and
stuff and just mentioned that

538
00:25:38,592 --> 00:25:43,203
there was an issue with the building
or whatever and we're like

539
00:25:44,617 --> 00:25:45,487
So,

540
00:25:45,554 --> 00:25:50,060
I I said I don't disbelieve you or
whatever I've got out three times and
I can't smell it today.

541
00:25:50,127 --> 00:25:51,315
They're like, come down here.

542
00:25:51,382 --> 00:25:58,021
I'm like, okay, and then I yeah, as
soon as I stepped outside, I was
like, oh, that's that's right. That's
pretty strong.

543
00:25:58,088 --> 00:26:00,800
Not like green strong, but not far
off either.

544
00:26:00,867 --> 00:26:03,401
Yeah, particularly when it's like a
catch basin in there.

545
00:26:03,468 --> 00:26:04,301
Mhm.

546
00:26:04,368 --> 00:26:09,643
Well, that's yeah, I talked with a
couple of the guys from public works
were there,

547
00:26:09,710 --> 00:26:13,230
and they were just clearing branches
and they were just clearing branches
and stuff, and I happened to catch
them.

548
00:26:13,297 --> 00:26:17,522
That's what they figured just
something in the, you know, when it
rains, it kind of stirs up, so

549
00:26:17,589 --> 00:26:21,597
they figured if, you know, next time
Bob's got the truck up to just either
flush it or whatever,

550
00:26:21,664 --> 00:26:26,050
it's probably got something sitting
in the basin that just won't get up
out of it.

551
00:26:26,117 --> 00:26:27,943
They flushed it Friday morning.

552
00:26:28,010 --> 00:26:28,843
Oh, did they?

553
00:26:28,910 --> 00:26:32,201
I'd seen them there, yeah. Thursday,
Friday morning, but yeah.

554
00:26:32,268 --> 00:26:33,114
[inaudible]

555
00:26:33,181 --> 00:26:34,014
This was today.

556
00:26:34,081 --> 00:26:36,458
It was there today. It was the first
time I smelled it.

557
00:26:36,525 --> 00:26:37,853
Mhm.

558
00:26:38,066 --> 00:26:38,899
So,

559
00:26:38,966 --> 00:26:40,294
Yeah.

560
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:45,014
I don't know how or why, but it's
definitely real. They're not
imagining.

561
00:26:45,681 --> 00:26:47,734
And I did say I'd bring it up.

562
00:26:47,813 --> 00:26:49,142
Perfect.

563
00:26:49,883 --> 00:26:50,716
Okay.

564
00:26:50,783 --> 00:26:53,014
Any Anything else from anyone?

565
00:26:54,588 --> 00:26:55,917
Thank you.

566
00:26:56,193 --> 00:27:00,636
Moving on to unfinished business.
Arena Digital Billboard.

567
00:27:02,330 --> 00:27:05,112
I'll let Kelly maybe speak to that.

568
00:27:05,179 --> 00:27:10,345
Um, we had looked back as we had
talked to Munisoft.

569
00:27:10,412 --> 00:27:12,804
Yeah, Munisoft about the VPN.

570
00:27:12,871 --> 00:27:18,216
And they said like, we can't direct
into the sign. We'd have to direct to
the computer

571
00:27:18,283 --> 00:27:23,196
which runs the sign at the rink, um,
due to the age of the software they
said

572
00:27:23,263 --> 00:27:26,364
to get it to work from here would be
really slow.

573
00:27:26,431 --> 00:27:32,264
So we'll just have to train our guys
to be able to change things on there,

574
00:27:32,331 --> 00:27:34,763
um, to get games and stuff out there.

575
00:27:34,830 --> 00:27:38,541
There is the schedule online as well
as well as the schedule that's on the
TV in the ring.

576
00:27:38,608 --> 00:27:44,136
So if anybody's wanting to take
pictures if they miss it on the
digital sign, they can always stop in
the rank and

577
00:27:44,475 --> 00:27:47,108
see the schedule up on the two TVs
that are in there.

578
00:27:47,175 --> 00:27:50,655
So Kelly, you figured there's
something that we're able to to do
then?

579
00:27:50,722 --> 00:27:52,797
Like the staff that'd be able to post
on game.

580
00:27:52,864 --> 00:27:56,077
Yeah, I mean, you know, it's gonna
take time away from

581
00:27:56,144 --> 00:27:58,069
other things, but we can definitely
do it.

582
00:27:58,136 --> 00:28:00,959
You know, I mean, it's always a give
and take if we want to do it

583
00:28:01,026 --> 00:28:03,449
and it's going to take away from
something else that they could have

584
00:28:03,516 --> 00:28:05,029
been doing.

585
00:28:05,308 --> 00:28:08,476
So, it's just balancing everything.

586
00:28:09,134 --> 00:28:14,309
So I I think what the public wants is
for example, let's say Thursday at 5,

587
00:28:14,376 --> 00:28:18,623
U13 Elrose versus Macy Rose down.

588
00:28:18,690 --> 00:28:19,523
Mhm.

589
00:28:19,590 --> 00:28:20,828
That's all they want.

590
00:28:20,895 --> 00:28:22,403
They don't want the practices or
anything.

591
00:28:22,470 --> 00:28:26,627
Yeah, even it's just even then like
just even then like just weekly and
then having to update,

592
00:28:26,694 --> 00:28:27,683
it's just staff time.

593
00:28:27,750 --> 00:28:29,467
So you'd probably do it daily, like

594
00:28:29,534 --> 00:28:31,845
Yeah, it they they change it, yeah.

595
00:28:32,343 --> 00:28:37,029
It'll have to be just something, you
know, that we do every certain day of
the week.

596
00:28:37,096 --> 00:28:40,277
And then when it needs updating,
they'll have to update it.

597
00:28:40,344 --> 00:28:41,177
So like you said,

598
00:28:41,244 --> 00:28:44,587
games are probably only Thursday to
Sunday, are they or?

599
00:28:44,654 --> 00:28:46,031
Uh, typically only Friday to Sunday.

600
00:28:46,098 --> 00:28:46,931
Okay.

601
00:28:46,998 --> 00:28:50,570
So sometimes there's some during the
week depending,

602
00:28:50,637 --> 00:28:54,214
lots of times like if Rosetown will
play Rosetown on a Tuesday if they
have back-to-back ice times and
stuff,

603
00:28:54,281 --> 00:28:55,848
it just is hit and miss.

604
00:28:55,915 --> 00:28:56,748
Yeah.

605
00:28:56,815 --> 00:28:58,260
And you do the one on the website?

606
00:28:58,409 --> 00:28:59,737
Yeah.

607
00:29:05,981 --> 00:29:07,476
Any questions about that?

608
00:29:10,116 --> 00:29:13,337
I think that's great if they get
something on the board and try and
figure out something

609
00:29:13,404 --> 00:29:18,111
that we currently have for, you know,
operation standards to to facilitate
this

610
00:29:18,178 --> 00:29:22,530
games to see how that works. I think
we want to give it a try. It could be
great.

611
00:29:24,742 --> 00:29:26,655
Any other questions or discussion?

612
00:29:29,614 --> 00:29:33,241
There's probably no motion that needs
to be made or it's just operational,
is it not?

613
00:29:33,639 --> 00:29:35,333
Okay, let's move on.

614
00:29:35,801 --> 00:29:40,354
Next, we have a decision document
Seda West Coast Economic report.

615
00:29:42,118 --> 00:29:47,102
So we had this on uh last council
meeting and counselor Coffee Olson
wanted it brought back to answer the
challenge.

616
00:29:47,169 --> 00:29:48,637
So that's why it's here.

617
00:29:48,704 --> 00:29:50,968
I do have a recommendation if you
want to hear it unless you have
anything else.

618
00:29:51,035 --> 00:29:52,370
It's central.

619
00:29:52,888 --> 00:29:54,774
West Coast is kind of throwing me.

620
00:29:54,841 --> 00:29:58,268
Oh, yeah, yeah, sorry. Yeah. Yeah,
yeah.

621
00:29:58,468 --> 00:30:00,186
I think it could be the West Coast.

622
00:30:00,253 --> 00:30:01,581
I'm looking to see if I'm

623
00:30:02,393 --> 00:30:04,147
Just waiting for the big one to
happen.

624
00:30:05,005 --> 00:30:06,562
[laughter] they're all doing it.

625
00:30:06,629 --> 00:30:07,462
We're going to be punched, right?

626
00:30:07,529 --> 00:30:08,362
[laughter]

627
00:30:08,577 --> 00:30:11,098
I said it and I didn't even catch it.
Okay.

628
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:14,934
What's your recommendation?

629
00:30:15,143 --> 00:30:18,813
Uh, so I think council may wish to
respond to the challenge by

630
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,549
identifying housing development as
the primary action priorities.

631
00:30:22,616 --> 00:30:27,261
Recognizing that housing ability is
our availability is directly linked
to

632
00:30:27,328 --> 00:30:31,533
workforce attraction, business growth
and long-term community
sustainability.

633
00:30:32,011 --> 00:30:36,159
Because we're a key regional service
hub and actively pursuing ch funding
right now

634
00:30:36,226 --> 00:30:40,144
to support new residential
development, it'll create additional
housing opportunities

635
00:30:40,211 --> 00:30:43,033
and position town for future growth.

636
00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:46,620
So the measurable actions that are
already underway include pursuing ch

637
00:30:46,687 --> 00:30:50,376
funding for the servicing of a new
residential subdivision.

638
00:30:50,443 --> 00:30:55,986
Maintaining a supply of development
ready residential lots and then
discontinuing

639
00:30:56,053 --> 00:30:59,801
discussions with employers and
developers regarding housing demand.

640
00:30:59,868 --> 00:31:03,259
So success can be measured through
infrastructure funding secured,

641
00:31:03,326 --> 00:31:05,451
the number of service lots created,

642
00:31:05,518 --> 00:31:08,121
residential building permits issued
and new housing units developed.

643
00:31:08,188 --> 00:31:12,126
So, so to sum all that up, my
recommendation would be right now to
hold fast,

644
00:31:12,193 --> 00:31:15,215
wait and see if we get the ch funding
that we've put in for.

645
00:31:15,282 --> 00:31:16,806
I'm hopeful that we will.

646
00:31:17,384 --> 00:31:21,093
And then perhaps we can host a Ro
Town business meeting or a community
meeting

647
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,580
to assure local businesses that
additional housing is forthcoming and
they can

648
00:31:24,647 --> 00:31:25,487
maybe start planning on that.

649
00:31:25,554 --> 00:31:26,882
So.

650
00:31:27,122 --> 00:31:27,955
Good job.

651
00:31:28,022 --> 00:31:28,855
Yeah.

652
00:31:28,922 --> 00:31:31,372
I'm fixing housing is definitely it.

653
00:31:31,851 --> 00:31:37,214
Um, they talked about start here and
start here and start with
conversations with a neighboring

654
00:31:37,281 --> 00:31:41,017
community, maybe our RMs or maybe one
of the communities close by.

655
00:31:41,186 --> 00:31:44,437
Um, to see if they'd like to partner
in somehow.

656
00:31:44,504 --> 00:31:47,005
Obviously it's to their advantage
too.

657
00:31:47,164 --> 00:31:52,059
And or they might want to work with
whatever developer we eventually find

658
00:31:52,126 --> 00:31:57,665
um to put some out there in their
areas too.

659
00:31:57,984 --> 00:32:00,465
Just gives a developer more options.

660
00:32:00,694 --> 00:32:06,306
The other thing they suggest in here
is um the other conversation that we
start

661
00:32:06,373 --> 00:32:12,351
should be with um local partner or
employers.

662
00:32:12,501 --> 00:32:16,519
Which is I wonder if maybe at our
coffee coffee with council?

663
00:32:16,586 --> 00:32:17,419
Mm.

664
00:32:17,486 --> 00:32:20,953
That could be the theme to say like

665
00:32:23,264 --> 00:32:24,303
maybe you want to spark something,
right?

666
00:32:24,370 --> 00:32:27,043
Yeah. Bring people in. And eventually

667
00:32:27,110 --> 00:32:29,733
like if we get this chiff visit.

668
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,975
Chiff. Chiff. Chiff.

669
00:32:32,042 --> 00:32:35,439
funding, um, then

670
00:32:35,728 --> 00:32:39,886
we should be in line then to be able
to set up a committee of some kind

671
00:32:39,953 --> 00:32:44,247
that can work on the details that are
needed.

672
00:32:44,914 --> 00:32:49,627
Um, so I don't we don't want to build
houses, but we want to make sure it's
possible.

673
00:32:51,361 --> 00:32:52,330
That's my sense. Yeah.

674
00:32:52,397 --> 00:32:53,974
So yeah, housing is the one I think
we should be on.

675
00:32:54,041 --> 00:32:55,824
Yeah. Absolutely.

676
00:32:55,983 --> 00:33:01,297
It's almost the word not to be taken
too likely is almost a housing
crisis.

677
00:33:01,364 --> 00:33:05,989
With only nine houses for sale in
town and hardly any very limited
rental areas,

678
00:33:06,056 --> 00:33:10,782
space, we are in very big need of
that. So. Oh.

679
00:33:10,849 --> 00:33:15,903
Some of our major businesses have
taken it on to to find housing for
their workers.

680
00:33:15,970 --> 00:33:17,218
Yeah.

681
00:33:17,285 --> 00:33:23,086
But our smaller places also need our
small businesses need housing for
their workers.

682
00:33:23,153 --> 00:33:26,872
Agreed. We have uh school division
office here, we have.

683
00:33:26,939 --> 00:33:29,373
SA. The banks, like it.

684
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:34,302
Banks, we have a lot of places that
are have people that are looking for
housing.

685
00:33:34,581 --> 00:33:37,214
I a whole assortment of it whether
it's rental,

686
00:33:37,281 --> 00:33:41,439
um, short-term, long-term or even to
buy.

687
00:33:41,506 --> 00:33:45,823
And we have opportunity with our
current upgraded services like the
Lagoon and

688
00:33:45,890 --> 00:33:50,346
our water that we're looking at also
that, uh, we won't be restricted to
that.

689
00:33:50,413 --> 00:33:53,225
That because that's what some
communities are they're handcuffed.

690
00:33:53,292 --> 00:33:58,595
That's the thought of the time to,
Counselor Carlson, at the time we
did,

691
00:33:58,662 --> 00:34:02,381
we wanted to make sure we unlocked
this potential in the future and not
be held up by anything.

692
00:34:02,448 --> 00:34:04,414
So now we're starting to open up now.
So.

693
00:34:04,481 --> 00:34:05,314
Mm.

694
00:34:05,381 --> 00:34:06,529
The future looks bright. So.

695
00:34:06,596 --> 00:34:10,136
Hopefully we can be proactive and due
diligence will get us a long ways.

696
00:34:10,203 --> 00:34:11,451
Yeah.

697
00:34:11,518 --> 00:34:15,058
Yeah, like I don't just want to wait
for grant funding,

698
00:34:15,125 --> 00:34:18,047
I want us to start thinking about it

699
00:34:18,114 --> 00:34:20,545
and getting that word out there so
people are thinking about it.

700
00:34:20,874 --> 00:34:22,759
That's why I suggested maybe the
coffee with the.

701
00:34:22,826 --> 00:34:25,430
Because we do have available space
right now, right? To do any
development.

702
00:34:25,497 --> 00:34:29,106
So we have available spaces which is
a luxury for us to have that
opportunity

703
00:34:29,173 --> 00:34:33,151
so we exactly yes, we can talk about
development.

704
00:34:33,218 --> 00:34:35,898
And then talk about what it is we
want.

705
00:34:36,005 --> 00:34:36,838
Yeah.

706
00:34:36,905 --> 00:34:42,823
Whether it be multi-unit housing or
apartments or rural housing or
whatever.

707
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:48,923
Even too if to get out to public
opportunities to maybe enhance your
own house.

708
00:34:48,990 --> 00:34:52,819
And they've done this in Sasco and
cities for many years, develop your
basement

709
00:34:52,886 --> 00:34:56,904
into suites, rental suites, increase
your own uh revenue generated out

710
00:34:56,971 --> 00:35:01,915
your own home by opening up space and
turning that into a legal suite.

711
00:35:01,982 --> 00:35:03,805
I know in the cities that happens.

712
00:35:04,805 --> 00:35:07,836
people always taking that opportunity
to do that.

713
00:35:07,903 --> 00:35:13,725
And we actually had that in Rosetown
about five years ago an application
for a permit to change a basement
into a legal suite.

714
00:35:13,792 --> 00:35:16,584
We allowed it and we signed the
permit and it was changed.

715
00:35:16,651 --> 00:35:18,696
So they have a post in town for legal
suite in the basement.

716
00:35:18,763 --> 00:35:23,558
And those become really important
when we have like construction crews
or pipelines coming through.

717
00:35:23,625 --> 00:35:24,604
Oh, absolutely.

718
00:35:24,671 --> 00:35:28,829
And then there's just a huge demand
just for, yeah, a short-term rental

719
00:35:28,896 --> 00:35:30,921
maybe just a room even.

720
00:35:30,988 --> 00:35:31,821
Yeah.

721
00:35:31,888 --> 00:35:33,438
Can we healthcare workers too?

722
00:35:33,505 --> 00:35:34,534
It could be.

723
00:35:34,601 --> 00:35:35,434
Yeah.

724
00:35:35,501 --> 00:35:36,480
Oh, I know we've got.

725
00:35:36,547 --> 00:35:37,994
Substitute teachers right into town.

726
00:35:38,061 --> 00:35:40,542
That we used to. Yeah. Right.

727
00:35:40,931 --> 00:35:44,458
And with the cost of fuel, the more
places we can have here.

728
00:35:44,577 --> 00:35:50,827
And it even sounds kind of like some
of like some of the realtors in town
collect that data for information
sharing for places for rent.

729
00:35:50,894 --> 00:35:53,982
So I know there's a a couple of
realtors for sure that.

730
00:35:54,082 --> 00:36:01,056
If we can maybe lock that in, so have
some sort of correlation between even
our office people ask about that, we
can rely onto the realtor, maybe have
a resource of places for rent.

731
00:36:03,697 --> 00:36:05,005
Yeah.

732
00:36:05,072 --> 00:36:11,122
people to go to. So all of a sudden
they decide let's let's rent this
place up we have everything, have a
place to go to and talk to and.

733
00:36:11,189 --> 00:36:18,163
It's more central that they wouldn't
kind of lock it into one place
instead of just having up in the
universe to try and figure out, so.

734
00:36:19,439 --> 00:36:26,413
So it just seemed to me that like
their their framework would be to one
announce that this is what we're
interested in developing.

735
00:36:27,011 --> 00:36:29,073
Um, or looking into.

736
00:36:29,651 --> 00:36:36,346
Um, two is to seek partners,
neighboring partners, outside
Rosetown partners, inside Rosetown.

737
00:36:36,556 --> 00:36:37,774
Um.

738
00:36:37,841 --> 00:36:44,260
And three to even start seeking a
developer to lure.

739
00:36:44,327 --> 00:36:45,513
[laughter]

740
00:36:46,359 --> 00:36:48,843
But to invite somebody that we trust,
we trust

741
00:36:48,910 --> 00:36:51,912
they have a good record, they do a
quality product.

742
00:36:51,979 --> 00:36:54,532
So we don't just get all the fly by
nights come in.

743
00:36:54,599 --> 00:36:55,997
Yeah. When there's free money.

744
00:36:56,064 --> 00:36:58,677
Yeah. You need to be aware of that
too, right? Because that can happen.

745
00:36:58,744 --> 00:37:01,673
Always does when there's free money.
Yes, it does. Yeah.

746
00:37:01,773 --> 00:37:04,443
Um, so yeah, who do we want to
invite?

747
00:37:04,572 --> 00:37:06,558
And we should be doing some looking.

748
00:37:06,625 --> 00:37:09,178
Definitely someone that's been
knowledge from another

749
00:37:09,245 --> 00:37:11,290
community that has it done, right?

750
00:37:11,357 --> 00:37:14,668
Like development been done by someone
that has references, right?

751
00:37:14,735 --> 00:37:16,648
Yeah. So it's important.

752
00:37:17,275 --> 00:37:19,550
Yeah, that could be as simple as
there's developers out there

753
00:37:19,617 --> 00:37:21,323
looking for places like this.

754
00:37:21,390 --> 00:37:24,292
I mean, they just don't know this is
maybe by doing things like this,

755
00:37:24,359 --> 00:37:27,839
getting it out into the universe that
we're doing this kind of thing

756
00:37:27,906 --> 00:37:29,772
and we have a big need for this.

757
00:37:29,839 --> 00:37:31,725
Maybe people looking, we need a
strong community behind that

758
00:37:31,792 --> 00:37:35,000
request and that support, right?
Yeah.

759
00:37:35,299 --> 00:37:39,098
Like that's how we got all those um
seniors condos all those years.

760
00:37:39,165 --> 00:37:41,459
Because there was a strong community
behind they were

761
00:37:41,526 --> 00:37:43,820
able to sell all those suites
basically before they put

762
00:37:43,887 --> 00:37:46,308
shovels in the ground. Yeah.

763
00:37:46,498 --> 00:37:49,978
And that's usually what they try to
do when they announce that they're

764
00:37:50,045 --> 00:37:51,382
coming. They like to presell

765
00:37:51,449 --> 00:37:52,778
about 50% at least I think before
they break ground.

766
00:37:53,113 --> 00:37:56,062
And we may not be able to do that
with everything, but

767
00:37:57,417 --> 00:38:01,445
over a an under an umbrella of a
whole lot of things.

768
00:38:01,512 --> 00:38:03,324
Yeah. They might be able.

769
00:38:04,631 --> 00:38:10,064
And everyone that's under the same
kind of uh the same need

770
00:38:10,131 --> 00:38:12,076
understanding of that and support
that.

771
00:38:12,143 --> 00:38:14,198
When you have a community that
understands, I think you get

772
00:38:14,265 --> 00:38:17,128
a lot of buy when everyone's talking
about it.

773
00:38:17,195 --> 00:38:20,037
We need the housing and supportive
about it and uh.

774
00:38:20,104 --> 00:38:22,946
We have builders and stuff around
town and suppliers

775
00:38:23,013 --> 00:38:25,327
and trades people, so.

776
00:38:25,394 --> 00:38:29,353
Yes, we do. It's very one of those
things that's.

777
00:38:29,420 --> 00:38:31,505
Just needing kind of a developer who
can kind of

778
00:38:31,572 --> 00:38:33,567
developer investor.

779
00:38:33,634 --> 00:38:34,962
Absolutely.

780
00:38:39,801 --> 00:38:42,135
We should probably get a motion then
to make a formal announcement

781
00:38:42,202 --> 00:38:44,746
that we'll be prioritizing that the
town can make an announcement

782
00:38:44,813 --> 00:38:49,665
that we're prioritizing housing
related infrastructure.

783
00:38:50,263 --> 00:38:52,328
Does that sound good, Deborah? Yes.
Yes.

784
00:38:52,395 --> 00:38:53,723
Okay. I have a motion.

785
00:38:54,198 --> 00:38:55,922
Councillors for all those in favor.

786
00:38:56,251 --> 00:38:57,579
That's carried.

787
00:39:05,776 --> 00:39:07,841
So we'll get an announcement out for
coffee with the council,

788
00:39:07,908 --> 00:39:10,628
with council, I should say.

789
00:39:11,714 --> 00:39:14,666
Um, do you want to have maybe a
corner set up for um

790
00:39:14,733 --> 00:39:20,394
I think we have do we have a design
concept for the new subdivision?

791
00:39:20,461 --> 00:39:23,393
So perhaps we can get a a design
concept up in the corner there just

792
00:39:23,460 --> 00:39:27,505
to let people know there's what we're
thinking, what the plan is.

793
00:39:28,821 --> 00:39:31,593
Actually get it, you know, in front
of people that are there so they know

794
00:39:31,660 --> 00:39:34,443
what, you know, what we're looking at
and what the plan is.

795
00:39:34,510 --> 00:39:36,087
And then maybe some more with.

796
00:39:36,154 --> 00:39:37,608
Right there with.

797
00:39:37,837 --> 00:39:40,650
I don't know, newspaper or something,
sticky notes so people can just

798
00:39:40,717 --> 00:39:43,237
make a note or

799
00:39:43,327 --> 00:39:49,195
respond that way or orally.

800
00:39:50,042 --> 00:39:51,370
Yep.

801
00:40:02,128 --> 00:40:03,456
Good.

802
00:40:07,865 --> 00:40:08,861
[paper rustling]

803
00:40:11,153 --> 00:40:13,344
[paper rustling]

804
00:40:19,821 --> 00:40:20,654
[clears throat]

805
00:40:24,304 --> 00:40:28,489
Okay, next up decision document for
Miller Cemetery headstone.

806
00:40:29,784 --> 00:40:33,072
[paper rustling]

807
00:40:33,769 --> 00:40:36,691
So Council received concurrence from
Mr. Tom Miller regarding

808
00:40:36,758 --> 00:40:40,445
a damaged headstone of his parents
located in Rose Town Cemetery.

809
00:40:41,042 --> 00:40:44,894
And Mr. Miller alleged that the
town's mowing operations damaged

810
00:40:44,961 --> 00:40:48,614
the monument, removed the bronze name
plate from the marker.

811
00:40:49,710 --> 00:40:54,060
He had an estimated uh cost from
Shander replacing it and to repair

812
00:40:54,127 --> 00:40:57,016
it for $1570.5.

813
00:40:57,083 --> 00:41:02,364
And he's asking for us to to do that
for him.

814
00:41:02,663 --> 00:41:06,614
So we have uh by-laws in place,
talking about responsibility and

815
00:41:06,681 --> 00:41:09,637
damages maybe incurred.

816
00:41:12,626 --> 00:41:16,677
So we had uh instructed
administration to do a little uh

817
00:41:16,744 --> 00:41:21,493
investigation into anything that's
happened in the past while.

818
00:41:22,490 --> 00:41:24,980
Do you want to speak a little bit
about that?

819
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,571
Uh, the review, yep. So, um,

820
00:41:28,567 --> 00:41:31,921
Uh, so when I put this together for
council, I I I honestly,

821
00:41:31,988 --> 00:41:35,009
I still don't know, you know, which
way to go for sure, um,

822
00:41:35,076 --> 00:41:38,496
because there's a compassion part of
this, but there's also a, a, a

823
00:41:38,563 --> 00:41:40,589
uh, a bylaw and policies and

824
00:41:40,656 --> 00:41:43,512
procedures, regulations part of this.
So,

825
00:41:44,508 --> 00:41:47,132
Um, which is what I lean more heavily
on. So,

826
00:41:47,199 --> 00:41:50,950
Um, our own bylaw states uh that the
town is removed from any kind

827
00:41:51,017 --> 00:41:52,910
of damage as a result of regular
maintenance.

828
00:41:52,977 --> 00:41:55,600
And I think it has to be like that
because

829
00:41:55,667 --> 00:42:00,582
when we have 600 monuments out there,
500 monuments out there,

830
00:42:00,649 --> 00:42:04,401
and we're doing regular maintenance,
you know, cutting grass and and

831
00:42:04,468 --> 00:42:08,353
weed eating, um, you know, damage is
probably going to happen.

832
00:42:08,420 --> 00:42:12,372
Like we're doing our best, but at the
end of the day there's there's

833
00:42:12,439 --> 00:42:15,560
going to be some, you know, some
damage as a result of regular

834
00:42:15,627 --> 00:42:17,121
maintenance because we have to do
regular maintenance.

835
00:42:17,188 --> 00:42:19,844
I'll also to that Dan, I'd comment
too that is a public open space.

836
00:42:19,911 --> 00:42:22,302
So anyone could go in there at any
time.

837
00:42:22,369 --> 00:42:25,324
So we unbeknown is also there. It's
not secured, gates closed

838
00:42:25,391 --> 00:42:28,014
at 5 o'clock, only open during
certain times.

839
00:42:28,081 --> 00:42:30,804
It's open to anyone at any time, so
things could happen with all

840
00:42:30,871 --> 00:42:31,767
our knowledge.

841
00:42:31,834 --> 00:42:32,667
That's right.

842
00:42:32,734 --> 00:42:35,423
Like sometimes tombstones get tipped
or whatever, or some vandalism

843
00:42:35,490 --> 00:42:39,475
happens. So that's there's that side
too of possibilities.

844
00:42:39,542 --> 00:42:40,375
Mhm.

845
00:42:40,442 --> 00:42:44,393
So our bylaw already has that in
place where it removes the town

846
00:42:44,460 --> 00:42:48,378
from any kind of responsibility or
financial um liability

847
00:42:48,445 --> 00:42:50,537
having to do with regular
maintenance.

848
00:42:50,604 --> 00:42:53,758
And and I didn't really, you know,
start leaning that way until I was

849
00:42:53,825 --> 00:42:55,518
able to review other similar by-laws.

850
00:42:55,585 --> 00:42:58,839
So for example, the ones I was able
to come across online are

851
00:42:58,906 --> 00:43:00,234
Saskatoon, Rostern and Outlook.

852
00:43:00,301 --> 00:43:02,792
All of which have um a little bit
different wording,

853
00:43:02,859 --> 00:43:04,884
but in the end it's the same.

854
00:43:04,951 --> 00:43:08,504
It's uh the towns are not or the
cities are not responsible for

855
00:43:08,571 --> 00:43:12,456
the for for the monuments as a result
of regular maintenance

856
00:43:12,523 --> 00:43:13,552
because they can't be.

857
00:43:13,619 --> 00:43:17,271
Because again, when we're talking
about Saskatoon or Regina, you know,

858
00:43:17,338 --> 00:43:19,862
there are thousands of monuments.
They have to do maintenance and,

859
00:43:19,929 --> 00:43:23,249
you know, some damage, albeit they do
their best to avoid it is

860
00:43:23,316 --> 00:43:25,640
going to happen. They can't be
responsible for every monument in

861
00:43:25,707 --> 00:43:27,169
the in the cemetery.

862
00:43:28,265 --> 00:43:31,718
Um, and then I guess and the mayor
pointed out as well, so in this

863
00:43:31,785 --> 00:43:35,638
particular circumstance, the entire
bronze uh name plate is missing.

864
00:43:36,933 --> 00:43:39,689
Um, Kelly talked to her staff, no one
remembers hitting it.

865
00:43:39,756 --> 00:43:43,110
You would remember hitting a bronze
face plate with a lawnmower.

866
00:43:44,406 --> 00:43:47,560
Uh, no one remembers hitting it. I
think there would even probably

867
00:43:47,627 --> 00:43:50,549
be some damage to the lawnmower, at
least to the blades with hitting

868
00:43:50,616 --> 00:43:51,479
a bronze face plate like that.

869
00:43:51,546 --> 00:43:54,634
So while I think it's probably likely
that we did damage it with

870
00:43:54,701 --> 00:43:57,523
a lawnmower, I can't say definitively
so.

871
00:43:57,590 --> 00:43:59,948
It could have been stolen. I don't
know.

872
00:44:00,247 --> 00:44:03,800
Um, there is no proof that, you know,
I can't say definitively

873
00:44:03,867 --> 00:44:05,593
that the town of Rose Town is
responsible for that

874
00:44:05,660 --> 00:44:07,022
because I don't know for sure.

875
00:44:08,019 --> 00:44:12,069
Uh, so with all that in mind, the
recommendation that came from

876
00:44:12,136 --> 00:44:16,055
administration was uh that we don't
um cover the costs of the of the

877
00:44:16,122 --> 00:44:20,737
repairs to this monument, um, and
that doing so could set a

878
00:44:20,804 --> 00:44:23,561
precedent for all the other monuments
that are out there. So,

879
00:44:25,554 --> 00:44:29,738
Well, the other thing is you got to
remember Rose Town soil moves.

880
00:44:30,436 --> 00:44:34,287
Like, for example, the mounted doors
on Main Street that have

881
00:44:34,354 --> 00:44:38,805
to be adjusted two to three times a
year

882
00:44:39,403 --> 00:44:42,325
is ridiculous. Because they move up
and then they move down.

883
00:44:42,392 --> 00:44:45,480
It depends. And that's just the way
even in your house.

884
00:44:47,338 --> 00:44:48,171
That that's the way Rose Town is,
unfortunately.

885
00:44:48,238 --> 00:44:52,122
I've been around to many different
cemeteries, Yep. and uh some are

886
00:44:52,189 --> 00:44:54,181
better than others, and ours is
pretty decent.

887
00:44:54,248 --> 00:44:57,103
We've had people that come here
before and said that it looks

888
00:44:57,170 --> 00:44:58,366
fantastic and we'd like to copy it.

889
00:44:58,433 --> 00:45:01,056
I've been to bigger a few times,
looked at.

890
00:45:01,123 --> 00:45:02,451
The thing that

891
00:45:02,746 --> 00:45:05,403
that is definitely better that we've
done here

892
00:45:05,470 --> 00:45:07,525
is put those runners to keep them
safe from

893
00:45:07,592 --> 00:45:09,783
away from the moers and such.

894
00:45:09,850 --> 00:45:12,038
Also their soil there is more sandy.

895
00:45:12,105 --> 00:45:12,938
Exactly.

896
00:45:13,005 --> 00:45:15,592
they're less apt to shifting like
ours is

897
00:45:15,659 --> 00:45:17,117
the heavier plates to shift

898
00:45:17,184 --> 00:45:18,651
and sort of that.

899
00:45:18,718 --> 00:45:20,195
So we have quite a bit more

900
00:45:20,262 --> 00:45:22,809
keeping un- un- how would you say.

901
00:45:22,948 --> 00:45:25,117
the dirt's, you know, particularly
flat or

902
00:45:25,184 --> 00:45:27,960
tombstones are kind of tipped. But uh

903
00:45:29,614 --> 00:45:32,062
I wonder how many of these requests
will we have

904
00:45:32,129 --> 00:45:34,343
in 10 years, you think?

905
00:45:34,410 --> 00:45:36,040
Would you say?

906
00:45:36,608 --> 00:45:38,946
When Kelly no more, we've dealt with
a few on my

907
00:45:39,013 --> 00:45:40,965
10 years so far.

908
00:45:41,032 --> 00:45:43,988
Yeah, I'd say I can think a half a
dozen probably.

909
00:45:44,055 --> 00:45:46,604
I don't think we've covered it.

910
00:45:46,671 --> 00:45:48,943
So not whole much. No.

911
00:45:49,341 --> 00:45:52,476
I wonder if we could do just a little
bit in kind and say

912
00:45:52,543 --> 00:45:55,306
you know, this this is the bylaw but

913
00:45:55,373 --> 00:45:57,912
maybe helped them a little bit, but

914
00:45:57,979 --> 00:46:01,108
See, was he wanting the whole thing
redone, was he not?

915
00:46:01,257 --> 00:46:03,336
Yeah, but I mean personally so I want
to do it but

916
00:46:03,403 --> 00:46:06,620
he was mostly asking us for the money
to help with

917
00:46:06,687 --> 00:46:08,956
I wouldn't personally. I know him
this family all my life,

918
00:46:09,023 --> 00:46:10,460
60 plus years and

919
00:46:10,527 --> 00:46:12,652
I'm kind of a little bit torn.

920
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,870
I that's getting involved in which I
shouldn't be.

921
00:46:15,937 --> 00:46:17,793
But what I wouldn't have a problem
just replacing

922
00:46:17,860 --> 00:46:19,088
the main plate.

923
00:46:19,155 --> 00:46:21,286
And if he wants to replace the rest,
that's fine.

924
00:46:21,353 --> 00:46:23,263
I think that's all he's asking for.
So he's looking,

925
00:46:23,330 --> 00:46:25,866
I think what he's looking for is to
replace it. So

926
00:46:26,385 --> 00:46:28,895
We shouldn't pay $1,500 for the main.

927
00:46:29,144 --> 00:46:30,994
Yeah, that's what I saw, it's a
thousand bucks.

928
00:46:31,061 --> 00:46:34,577
It has to be the whole scroll, not
just the little plate.

929
00:46:34,644 --> 00:46:35,982
You can replace just the plate.

930
00:46:36,049 --> 00:46:38,293
No, the plate should be replaced or
screwed on.

931
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:39,499
Mhm. That's right.

932
00:46:39,566 --> 00:46:41,392
But that's what it is, the little
scroll.

933
00:46:41,459 --> 00:46:42,548
That is the plate.

934
00:46:42,615 --> 00:46:45,013
That's the 3x9 bronze scroll and then
installing it,

935
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:46,706
$90. So.

936
00:46:46,773 --> 00:46:48,772
That's what he's looking for us to
replace.

937
00:46:48,931 --> 00:46:50,805
a couple hundred.

938
00:46:51,014 --> 00:46:52,717
So what if we said 500 bucks?

939
00:46:54,531 --> 00:46:56,680
Yeah, it's going against the we can't
make that decision

940
00:46:56,747 --> 00:46:58,476
as a council.

941
00:46:58,895 --> 00:47:01,328
I'm going to step back from any more
comments.

942
00:47:01,395 --> 00:47:03,514
Yeah. I would just say, I think we
need to have compassion

943
00:47:03,581 --> 00:47:05,368
and sympathy for Mr. Miller.

944
00:47:05,435 --> 00:47:07,712
It's definitely unfortunate.

945
00:47:07,911 --> 00:47:09,545
that this has happened.

946
00:47:09,864 --> 00:47:12,322
But from them it's a we've collected,
I can't definitively

947
00:47:12,389 --> 00:47:15,573
say that it was us that caused it.

948
00:47:15,683 --> 00:47:17,393
If it was, if there was a report to
say we did do it,

949
00:47:17,460 --> 00:47:18,659
I would have

950
00:47:18,726 --> 00:47:20,801
the opinion that yes, we probably
shouldn't replace

951
00:47:20,868 --> 00:47:22,674
that name because

952
00:47:22,741 --> 00:47:26,254
it it states that it was us.

953
00:47:26,553 --> 00:47:28,891
When there isn't that, I don't know
if we should accept

954
00:47:28,958 --> 00:47:30,744
responsibility for doing something
that we aren't

955
00:47:30,811 --> 00:47:33,846
totally 100% sure that we did.

956
00:47:35,829 --> 00:47:38,678
So that would be my my question to
council.

957
00:47:39,864 --> 00:47:43,567
I guess I'm I'm thinking like great
big compassion,

958
00:47:43,634 --> 00:47:48,522
even if we somehow matched him like

959
00:47:49,757 --> 00:47:52,036
My worry there though is like how
many people have

960
00:47:52,103 --> 00:47:54,736
damaged out there that are going to

961
00:47:54,803 --> 00:47:56,738
right, I mean if I heard about it and
I had

962
00:47:56,805 --> 00:47:58,870
my dad's marker was damaged,

963
00:47:58,937 --> 00:48:01,501
and I found out the town would pay me
five, you know,

964
00:48:01,568 --> 00:48:03,424
pay part of it, I'm okay, now I've
got to go get that

965
00:48:03,491 --> 00:48:04,346
fixed, now, right?

966
00:48:04,413 --> 00:48:05,246
Is that going to break the town
though?

967
00:48:05,313 --> 00:48:06,166
I don't think so.

968
00:48:06,233 --> 00:48:08,092
No, but I'd be more here's what I'd
be more interest

969
00:48:08,159 --> 00:48:09,876
personally,

970
00:48:09,943 --> 00:48:11,978
like I I'm a procedure guy like our
bylaw says

971
00:48:12,045 --> 00:48:14,300
we don't do, we don't do it.

972
00:48:14,367 --> 00:48:16,671
But I also if that was my mom or dad,

973
00:48:16,738 --> 00:48:19,185
I wouldn't be happy.

974
00:48:19,733 --> 00:48:21,636
I like to bend the rules a little
bit.

975
00:48:21,755 --> 00:48:24,343
Well, we get we get fees to put you
know, to to

976
00:48:24,410 --> 00:48:27,282
if I want a grave, it's not like I
can just go dig a hole

977
00:48:27,349 --> 00:48:31,240
in the Rosetown cemetery. I've got to
pay for it.

978
00:48:31,609 --> 00:48:34,535
If we had some sort of like a fund to
help with,

979
00:48:34,602 --> 00:48:37,544
you know, in cases of

980
00:48:37,611 --> 00:48:40,463
vandalism where even with vandalism
and we said, hey,

981
00:48:40,530 --> 00:48:43,871
look, the fund will give you

982
00:48:43,938 --> 00:48:46,371
200 bucks to help fix it because
we're taking the we

983
00:48:46,438 --> 00:48:48,892
know, we take the fees we're bringing
in and

984
00:48:48,959 --> 00:48:51,389
we'll hold that.

985
00:48:51,456 --> 00:48:53,485
Like I'd be more interested in going
down that road if

986
00:48:53,552 --> 00:48:55,175
we're looking to help people.

987
00:48:55,242 --> 00:48:57,962
We do have a cemetery deletion fund.

988
00:48:58,251 --> 00:49:00,449
Mhm. So I I'd be more interested in
that route

989
00:49:00,516 --> 00:49:03,179
myself just because the bylaw's
written that way

990
00:49:03,246 --> 00:49:06,049
because it makes sense to write it
that way and I,

991
00:49:06,116 --> 00:49:08,540
you know, I mean if we're not going
to follow it then

992
00:49:08,607 --> 00:49:11,183
why do we have it?

993
00:49:11,641 --> 00:49:14,259
But by the same token, I don't want
to, you know,

994
00:49:14,326 --> 00:49:16,450
I I I mean he was here. I

995
00:49:16,517 --> 00:49:19,473
that was my parents, I'd be upset,
right?

996
00:49:19,732 --> 00:49:21,485
Um, I'd want to get it fixed.

997
00:49:21,565 --> 00:49:23,797
So that that's where my head's at.

998
00:49:24,086 --> 00:49:26,493
I guess someone of mine was when I
looked at it, um

999
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,433
thought and I read through the bylaw
and everything,

1000
00:49:29,500 --> 00:49:32,096
I'm like, oh.

1001
00:49:32,574 --> 00:49:35,195
I don't think I want a headstone up
there.

1002
00:49:36,271 --> 00:49:37,947
I wouldn't want one flush to the
ground.

1003
00:49:38,014 --> 00:49:39,890
And it's basically

1004
00:49:39,957 --> 00:49:42,365
whatever changes and things change.
Like this

1005
00:49:42,432 --> 00:49:45,633
this was a good idea to solve a
problem at a time. It just

1006
00:49:45,700 --> 00:49:49,073
it's not a foolproof idea.

1007
00:49:49,631 --> 00:49:50,561
None of them are.

1008
00:49:50,628 --> 00:49:52,733
They could have a flush tombstone.

1009
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,522
Yeah, that was a that was the trend,
yeah.

1010
00:49:55,589 --> 00:49:57,502
We never did find the plate, did we?

1011
00:49:57,612 --> 00:50:00,604
No. I even asked my guys and like
they said like.

1012
00:50:00,671 --> 00:50:02,267
Yeah, so if it was just spit off.

1013
00:50:02,334 --> 00:50:03,653
it probably would have been laying
nearby.

1014
00:50:03,720 --> 00:50:05,537
That's what we're again,

1015
00:50:05,604 --> 00:50:08,954
that's why I'm saying we're not I
can't definitively say it was us

1016
00:50:09,021 --> 00:50:10,976
Like if we chewed it off, it would be
there.

1017
00:50:11,043 --> 00:50:13,956
And when they're doing cleaning and
maintenance every day,

1018
00:50:14,023 --> 00:50:15,985
they would have come across the name
plate.

1019
00:50:16,404 --> 00:50:17,732
It's gone.

1020
00:50:19,154 --> 00:50:20,578
I'd be curious.

1021
00:50:20,738 --> 00:50:23,859
Like you say, having compassion and
sympathy as well.

1022
00:50:23,926 --> 00:50:26,709
But to get, is it possible to get
just that name plate

1023
00:50:26,776 --> 00:50:29,505
and have it put back on?

1024
00:50:30,412 --> 00:50:31,541
for a normal cost.

1025
00:50:31,608 --> 00:50:34,181
because I I'm sure that that number
is for the whole bronze,

1026
00:50:34,248 --> 00:50:35,177
I thought.

1027
00:50:35,244 --> 00:50:37,200
For the whole piece. I'm pretty sure
that's what he was told.

1028
00:50:37,267 --> 00:50:38,343
[chuckle]

1029
00:50:38,831 --> 00:50:41,192
That would be just for that little
plate.

1030
00:50:41,402 --> 00:50:42,730
Yeah, three by nine.

1031
00:50:42,986 --> 00:50:44,244
Three inches by nine inches.

1032
00:50:44,311 --> 00:50:45,708
that's what he said, yeah. Okay.

1033
00:50:45,775 --> 00:50:49,036
Well, maybe they have to remove it
and it's bolted from the backside

1034
00:50:49,103 --> 00:50:50,859
No, it'd be it's bolted from the top.

1035
00:50:50,926 --> 00:50:52,255
Like it's.

1036
00:50:52,770 --> 00:50:54,137
Is it bolted or like it's a glue.

1037
00:50:54,204 --> 00:50:56,299
It's like no, it's there like you if
you look in the picture

1038
00:50:56,366 --> 00:50:58,491
you can see on the other one, you can
kind of see the little screw

1039
00:50:58,558 --> 00:51:00,325
on the end of this.

1040
00:51:00,392 --> 00:51:01,680
Okay, got you. Yeah.

1041
00:51:01,747 --> 00:51:03,971
Yeah, so it's a 3x9 bronze scroll,
that's the name plate for

1042
00:51:04,038 --> 00:51:06,163
$965 then to install it.

1043
00:51:06,230 --> 00:51:08,502
to screw it onto the monument.

1044
00:51:09,119 --> 00:51:10,437
See, it's a very tough call

1045
00:51:10,504 --> 00:51:13,038
because if you make a rule.

1046
00:51:13,105 --> 00:51:13,938
[paper rustling]

1047
00:51:14,131 --> 00:51:15,359
started.

1048
00:51:15,426 --> 00:51:16,791
are you going to break it?

1049
00:51:18,116 --> 00:51:19,145
That's in anything.

1050
00:51:19,212 --> 00:51:21,516
I don't care whether it's a sport.

1051
00:51:21,583 --> 00:51:24,204
or it's a discipline thing or
whatever.

1052
00:51:24,841 --> 00:51:28,637
So then, you start stretching, how
far do you stretch?

1053
00:51:31,208 --> 00:51:32,536
And like.

1054
00:51:32,832 --> 00:51:35,256
There's compassion here because if
that like everyone says,

1055
00:51:35,323 --> 00:51:39,527
if that was your parents, you'd be in
the same situation.

1056
00:51:40,384 --> 00:51:41,881
and you want something done.

1057
00:51:41,948 --> 00:51:43,277
Well,

1058
00:51:45,177 --> 00:51:46,601
It's a tough call.

1059
00:51:46,890 --> 00:51:49,491
That's kind of where the bylaws kind
of sleep too.

1060
00:51:49,580 --> 00:51:55,431
It is an open public space that's
susceptible to vandalism or anything.

1061
00:51:55,498 --> 00:51:57,663
It's susceptible to a lot of things.

1062
00:51:57,730 --> 00:52:01,158
Like I think to be truthful, if I was
lawn mowing.

1063
00:52:01,457 --> 00:52:02,785
up there.

1064
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,282
I got ear muffs on, right?

1065
00:52:06,060 --> 00:52:07,397
You. Right? You wear.

1066
00:52:07,464 --> 00:52:09,071
Ear protection. Yeah, ear protection.

1067
00:52:09,138 --> 00:52:10,167
Some of them were them, yeah.

1068
00:52:10,234 --> 00:52:11,144
Some of them were, yeah.

1069
00:52:11,211 --> 00:52:13,831
Or else they got a radio.

1070
00:52:14,316 --> 00:52:16,016
The one that cuts at the cemetery
doesn't.

1071
00:52:16,083 --> 00:52:16,916
Doesn't.

1072
00:52:16,983 --> 00:52:17,816
Okay.

1073
00:52:17,883 --> 00:52:18,716
But you know what I'm saying?

1074
00:52:18,783 --> 00:52:19,616
Yeah.

1075
00:52:19,683 --> 00:52:21,222
That's always a possibility.

1076
00:52:21,289 --> 00:52:22,764
You might not hear anything.

1077
00:52:23,202 --> 00:52:25,258
You'd feel a bronze marker go
through.

1078
00:52:25,325 --> 00:52:26,961
You should feel it, you'd take the
lawn more.

1079
00:52:27,028 --> 00:52:28,356
But.

1080
00:52:28,762 --> 00:52:30,486
Remember how old these guys are?

1081
00:52:30,824 --> 00:52:33,049
30.

1082
00:52:33,325 --> 00:52:34,417
If he's a 30-year-old,

1083
00:52:34,484 --> 00:52:37,466
I stayed there with an 18 or
20-year-old guy that.

1084
00:52:37,533 --> 00:52:38,801
It's never the.

1085
00:52:38,868 --> 00:52:39,817
the summer students.

1086
00:52:39,884 --> 00:52:41,610
No.

1087
00:52:41,677 --> 00:52:42,510
Okay.

1088
00:52:42,577 --> 00:52:43,905
So.

1089
00:52:44,181 --> 00:52:46,475
And I've like I've put a rock through
one of our mowers.

1090
00:52:46,542 --> 00:52:47,375
Like I'd.

1091
00:52:47,442 --> 00:52:48,352
good sight.

1092
00:52:48,419 --> 00:52:50,185
And I mean you feel they go through.

1093
00:52:50,252 --> 00:52:52,138
You wouldn't hit a bronze plaque and
put it through the mower

1094
00:52:52,205 --> 00:52:53,981
and not feel it.

1095
00:52:54,048 --> 00:52:54,881
Like it's.

1096
00:52:54,948 --> 00:52:55,887
You should feel it.

1097
00:52:55,954 --> 00:52:58,385
Like it would probably almost stop
your mower.

1098
00:52:58,734 --> 00:53:00,062
So.

1099
00:53:03,376 --> 00:53:04,951
So we're kind of beating the horse.

1100
00:53:06,545 --> 00:53:08,567
Any other comments about it?

1101
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:11,649
Views?

1102
00:53:11,716 --> 00:53:13,044
Solutions?

1103
00:53:14,416 --> 00:53:24,499
[paper rustling]

1104
00:53:25,794 --> 00:53:28,417
How much is how much is in that extra
fund?

1105
00:53:28,484 --> 00:53:29,317
Anyone know?

1106
00:53:29,384 --> 00:53:32,086
perpetual care. It's perpetual.

1107
00:53:32,153 --> 00:53:34,288
You can't actually touch the
perpetual care fund until

1108
00:53:34,355 --> 00:53:37,098
that section of the cemetery is
closed.

1109
00:53:37,165 --> 00:53:38,792
Okay, is there another fund?

1110
00:53:38,859 --> 00:53:41,591
there's donations made to the
cemetery.

1111
00:53:41,658 --> 00:53:43,444
Those go to.

1112
00:53:43,511 --> 00:53:45,347
the donations that are intended for
repairs

1113
00:53:45,414 --> 00:53:46,912
their personal monuments.

1114
00:53:46,979 --> 00:53:47,812
Yeah.

1115
00:53:47,879 --> 00:53:50,415
Because they don't the monuments
don't belong to the town.

1116
00:53:50,482 --> 00:53:51,421
Like.

1117
00:53:51,488 --> 00:53:53,434
So the money that comes in, we have
to use on something

1118
00:53:53,501 --> 00:53:55,147
for the town.

1119
00:53:55,214 --> 00:53:57,150
Any donation made or else it's.

1120
00:53:57,217 --> 00:53:59,412
We get that Roy and Delma Elliott
that we've put to a cemetery

1121
00:53:59,479 --> 00:54:02,102
and I believe part of that's going to
the new area that they're

1122
00:54:02,169 --> 00:54:04,112
working on right now.

1123
00:54:04,490 --> 00:54:09,601
I don't see anything under donations
made so far.

1124
00:54:10,966 --> 00:54:14,443
cemetery, just the Roy and Delma
Elliot.

1125
00:54:16,067 --> 00:54:18,920
on the uh the donor's choice yeah,
that's it.

1126
00:54:18,987 --> 00:54:20,215
Give your money.

1127
00:54:20,282 --> 00:54:21,610
Yeah.

1128
00:54:21,976 --> 00:54:24,975
[paper rustling]

1129
00:54:26,061 --> 00:54:28,305
I suppose on the donation for there's
never been money collected

1130
00:54:28,372 --> 00:54:34,121
for on preservation or correction of
tombstones or anything like that.

1131
00:54:34,221 --> 00:54:35,648
Probably not specific enough.

1132
00:54:35,715 --> 00:54:36,548
No.

1133
00:54:36,615 --> 00:54:39,766
And I know like was it Shannador or
one of the companies one year

1134
00:54:39,833 --> 00:54:42,456
they come in and they did leveling of
headstones for the families

1135
00:54:42,523 --> 00:54:45,146
if you reached out to them and I
don't think they charged, but that

1136
00:54:45,213 --> 00:54:48,411
was for the families to go through
and do.

1137
00:54:50,215 --> 00:54:52,220
You can actually put your loved one's
monument on your

1138
00:54:52,287 --> 00:54:53,764
insurance too.

1139
00:54:53,831 --> 00:54:54,681
Yeah.

1140
00:54:54,748 --> 00:54:56,365
So that is a thing you can do.

1141
00:54:56,432 --> 00:54:58,843
I know there's a few people that have
done that.

1142
00:54:59,331 --> 00:55:00,786
when you spend.

1143
00:55:00,972 --> 00:55:03,070
eight or ten thousand dollars on a
monument.

1144
00:55:03,137 --> 00:55:04,176
They're not cheap.

1145
00:55:04,243 --> 00:55:05,076
[affirmative]

1146
00:55:14,625 --> 00:55:16,510
Anybody gonna motion?

1147
00:55:16,577 --> 00:55:19,636
[laughter]

1148
00:55:21,469 --> 00:55:23,851
So what does Council think's her
solution?

1149
00:55:27,647 --> 00:55:30,230
I make motion you put $500 against it

1150
00:55:30,297 --> 00:55:33,714
to recover some of the cost in kind.

1151
00:55:35,538 --> 00:55:36,547
good faith.

1152
00:55:36,614 --> 00:55:39,834
Can I just ask that your motion also
will state that the town's

1153
00:55:39,901 --> 00:55:42,594
not accepting any responsibility or
liability?

1154
00:55:42,661 --> 00:55:43,494
Correct.

1155
00:55:43,561 --> 00:55:44,889
Yeah, thank you. Yeah.

1156
00:55:46,407 --> 00:55:47,240
Okay.

1157
00:55:47,307 --> 00:55:50,286
We have a motion on Councillor Cross.
All those in favor?

1158
00:55:53,943 --> 00:55:55,617
One, two, three, four.

1159
00:55:55,756 --> 00:55:57,340
I was, I'll abstain.

1160
00:55:58,506 --> 00:56:00,758
So we have a pass motion.

1161
00:56:01,824 --> 00:56:03,179
Four to three.

1162
00:56:08,987 --> 00:56:11,279
[rustling]

1163
00:56:21,661 --> 00:56:23,517
Okay, next document.

1164
00:56:23,584 --> 00:56:26,632
Decision document 1014 Main Street
tree removal.

1165

1166
00:56:36,167 --> 00:56:37,000
[sigh]

1167
00:56:38,429 --> 00:56:42,546
Yep, so this, this was um, this was
brought over from our last meeting.
Council wanted a

1168
00:56:42,613 --> 00:56:46,589
little bit better pictures and a
little bit more um, review of this.

1169
00:56:46,788 --> 00:56:47,638
So

1170
00:56:47,705 --> 00:56:50,517
Um, so did. I, I went and took a
little bit better pictures,

1171
00:56:50,584 --> 00:56:53,028
um, you know, of the house in
question, so

1172
00:56:53,095 --> 00:56:55,698
If you're looking at my screen at
all, on your left there is

1173
00:56:55,765 --> 00:56:58,288
1214. This is the the person

1174
00:56:58,355 --> 00:57:03,736
that's uh um raising the complaint.

1175
00:57:04,184 --> 00:57:06,558
Uh, and and their tree over to the
left there

1176
00:57:06,625 --> 00:57:07,953
in front of the red truck.

1177
00:57:08,119 --> 00:57:12,137
And then uh uh uh 1012,

1178
00:57:12,204 --> 00:57:15,923
pardon me, is the blue house on the
right,

1179
00:57:15,990 --> 00:57:19,012
and the uh, the owner of 1014 also
would like their tree

1180
00:57:19,079 --> 00:57:21,433
removed that's in front of their
house.

1181
00:57:21,500 --> 00:57:24,193
So they're saying that these two
trees are are causing their the

1182
00:57:24,260 --> 00:57:26,731
heaves in their in their driveway.

1183
00:57:27,259 --> 00:57:30,270
Um, I did go and measure as well,
just to kind of get a base

1184
00:57:30,337 --> 00:57:33,117
measurement of how far these trees
are, um, of concern.

1185
00:57:33,366 --> 00:57:36,846
So the neighbor's tree, um, 1012 is
actually the closest one at 15 feet

1186
00:57:36,913 --> 00:57:41,865
from where the the the driveway um is
starting to heave.

1187
00:57:42,234 --> 00:57:44,219
Uh, whereas the owner of 104 owner of
1014

1188
00:57:44,286 --> 00:57:45,813
is over 30 feet away.

1189
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:47,138
Is it not poppers?

1190
00:57:47,205 --> 00:57:48,038
No.

1191
00:57:48,105 --> 00:57:51,685
Uh, no, this is uh likely elm trees.
Elm trees.

1192
00:57:51,752 --> 00:57:52,585
Yeah.

1193
00:57:52,652 --> 00:57:54,309
[muttering] That's surprising.

1194
00:57:55,116 --> 00:57:57,211
Uh, I was able also to find a picture
from 2013,

1195
00:57:57,278 --> 00:58:00,399
so this is the same property from
2013 you can see

1196
00:58:00,466 --> 00:58:04,243
the driveway's almost in very new
condition.

1197
00:58:04,452 --> 00:58:06,377
Um, the same trees are there and you
can see that there's

1198
00:58:06,444 --> 00:58:10,163
also a uh what I believe to be a
spruce tree,

1199
00:58:10,230 --> 00:58:12,355
uh which is very close to the
driveway as well.

1200
00:58:12,422 --> 00:58:14,448
Um, and that's not there anymore, so
it was removed

1201
00:58:14,515 --> 00:58:16,288
obviously.

1202
00:58:16,457 --> 00:58:18,991
It's not to say though that the root
system wouldn't still be there.

1203
00:58:19,058 --> 00:58:20,622
I would suspect it.

1204
00:58:21,758 --> 00:58:23,086
Um,

1205
00:58:24,627 --> 00:58:26,802
So I, you know, when I looked at this
situation,

1206
00:58:26,869 --> 00:58:28,795
I took some more pictures, um, I'm
I'm still,

1207
00:58:28,862 --> 00:58:30,877
I'm still not 100% convinced as the
trees.

1208
00:58:30,944 --> 00:58:34,275
And the reason I'm not is it's a very
straight, linear line,

1209
00:58:34,342 --> 00:58:38,586
um, that the driveway's heaving from
the sidewalk to the house.

1210
00:58:38,775 --> 00:58:40,950
Um, there's no, there's no impacts to
the driveway

1211
00:58:41,017 --> 00:58:44,564
from the tree to that line, from
either of the trees.

1212
00:58:45,112 --> 00:58:47,526
Um, it's just it's a straight line
from the drive uh, from

1213
00:58:47,593 --> 00:58:49,319
the sidewalk to the house, uh

1214
00:58:49,386 --> 00:58:52,109
and and that's the and that's the
general impact of the uh

1215
00:58:52,176 --> 00:58:54,251
of of the driveway.

1216
00:58:54,318 --> 00:58:56,792
So I don't know for sure that it's
the root system.

1217
00:58:56,859 --> 00:58:59,581
Uh, I did throw it to the owners to,
to feel free to provide an

1218
00:58:59,648 --> 00:59:02,072
engineering report, you know, give us
something that says

1219
00:59:02,139 --> 00:59:04,281
it's the roots.

1220
00:59:04,730 --> 00:59:07,054
Um, and then and they came back and
said they weren't going to

1221
00:59:07,121 --> 00:59:08,947
do that because they're not looking
for financial

1222
00:59:09,014 --> 00:59:10,409
compensation, they just want the
trees removed.

1223
00:59:12,053 --> 00:59:14,626
Um, I'm just going to add on, I just
got actually an additional

1224
00:59:14,693 --> 00:59:17,017
email from them today, which I just
want to bring to

1225
00:59:17,084 --> 00:59:19,804
Council's attention.

1226
00:59:20,681 --> 00:59:23,394
Um, so again, she sent a couple more
pictures just today actually

1227
00:59:23,461 --> 00:59:26,383
before the meeting, um, just again
saying that they believe

1228
00:59:26,450 --> 00:59:28,873
that the tree roots are impacting
their driveway that they've got

1229
00:59:28,940 --> 00:59:31,999
shoots growing up from these holes.

1230
00:59:34,071 --> 00:59:36,445
And they're asking if they can
chemically treat this root

1231
00:59:36,512 --> 00:59:39,664
system to stop it from growing into
their driveway.

1232
00:59:39,731 --> 00:59:41,915
She'd be able to identify the tree.

1233
00:59:41,982 --> 00:59:43,828
Off that. Mhm. That looks like a
poplar.

1234
00:59:43,895 --> 00:59:46,309
Yeah, so it's very likely that seeds
have blown very likely

1235
00:59:46,376 --> 00:59:49,398
that seeds have blown into the cracks
and are now growing

1236
00:59:49,465 --> 00:59:51,627
through the cracks, so

1237
00:59:51,786 --> 00:59:54,180
Again, there's nothing to say that
it's the tree roots from

1238
00:59:54,247 --> 00:59:56,870
these elm trees that are causing
those cracks or that these are

1239
00:59:56,937 --> 00:59:58,434
shoots from those elm trees, so.

1240
00:59:58,501 --> 01:00:00,494
Elms are usually not that bad.

1241
01:00:02,248 --> 01:00:04,629
after it's completely straight.

1242
01:00:05,375 --> 01:00:06,208
Yeah.

1243
01:00:06,275 --> 01:00:07,108
They got

1244
01:00:07,175 --> 01:00:10,970
For me it is a fact that the the runs
straight up and down the driveway
like it's

1245
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:12,617
perpendicular to them.

1246
01:00:12,684 --> 01:00:16,919
And normally we don't have issues
with as much of elm trees.

1247
01:00:18,174 --> 01:00:19,362
The council

1248
01:00:19,429 --> 01:00:25,490
unless there's one that's falling out
of the tree sick or it's dying or
it's causing

1249
01:00:25,557 --> 01:00:27,622
you know, egregious down. It's
usually

1250
01:00:27,689 --> 01:00:31,226
pushing up poplar tree, pushing up
sidewalks and driveways tremendously.

1251
01:00:31,465 --> 01:00:32,793
And uh

1252
01:00:33,627 --> 01:00:35,719
I don't see that for these trees.

1253
01:00:35,786 --> 01:00:36,619
The line of those

1254
01:00:36,686 --> 01:00:38,143
If you looked at it

1255
01:00:38,622 --> 01:00:41,531
that little one there in the picture,
that's a poplar.

1256
01:00:41,611 --> 01:00:43,098
So it's coming from somewhere else.

1257
01:00:43,165 --> 01:00:44,759
It may be on our.

1258
01:00:44,938 --> 01:00:46,592
And I think that the

1259
01:00:47,100 --> 01:00:50,859
the deterioration of their pavement
on the driveway is a factor as well.

1260
01:00:50,926 --> 01:00:53,370
We had a really hot summer with a lot
of rain, so it's

1261
01:00:53,437 --> 01:00:55,084
I think it's affected that as well.

1262
01:00:55,151 --> 01:00:58,601
Moisture getting through penetrating
through that to create this.

1263
01:00:58,668 --> 01:01:00,922
So I think we're having some sort of
shoots coming up.

1264
01:01:00,989 --> 01:01:02,962
I don't believe that that's an elm.

1265
01:01:03,141 --> 01:01:06,561
like where it is the where's the
sewer meter or the

1266
01:01:06,628 --> 01:01:07,946
Not at that location.

1267
01:01:08,013 --> 01:01:08,923
that at all?

1268
01:01:08,990 --> 01:01:09,823
No.

1269
01:01:09,890 --> 01:01:11,723
What about the hookups for the
houses?

1270
01:01:12,021 --> 01:01:13,927
The service connections? Yeah, they

1271
01:01:13,994 --> 01:01:15,209
typically in the middle.

1272
01:01:15,276 --> 01:01:16,109
No, they're running

1273
01:01:16,176 --> 01:01:18,553
I mean if it was that to me, that
would be what's causing.

1274
01:01:18,620 --> 01:01:23,674
I thought that too, so I did run that
by Bob and he said the service
service connections are going in on
the grass.

1275
01:01:23,741 --> 01:01:24,671
which is horrible.

1276
01:01:24,738 --> 01:01:27,141
Okay, cuz yeah, they did say they had
to give it.

1277
01:01:27,208 --> 01:01:28,041
Yeah.

1278
01:01:28,108 --> 01:01:31,130
But it is weird to me that it just
runs straight up the driveway.

1279
01:01:31,197 --> 01:01:35,035
Yeah, that that that feels like a
it's more of a structural issue that.

1280
01:01:35,102 --> 01:01:39,907
Or perhaps when they poured the
driveway they poured it in two pieces
and that's just a weak point.

1281
01:01:39,974 --> 01:01:42,665
they could have taken the part of the
driveway out probably.

1282
01:01:44,528 --> 01:01:47,407
They've switched to the neighbors get
taken it out.

1283
01:01:48,194 --> 01:01:50,645
But they they've gotten rid of the
garage there.

1284
01:01:51,761 --> 01:01:53,129
They've just converted it, I think.

1285
01:01:53,196 --> 01:01:54,029
Yep.

1286
01:01:54,096 --> 01:01:55,204
in their garage.

1287
01:01:55,271 --> 01:01:56,104
Yeah.

1288
01:01:56,171 --> 01:01:57,449
Okay.

1289
01:01:57,516 --> 01:02:03,905
Well, and so there's a good question
too, right? What you know, they had
to bring in wood and

1290
01:02:03,972 --> 01:02:07,599
if they end up putting a flat bed up
the driveway when it was hot up
there,

1291
01:02:08,734 --> 01:02:10,750
right? I mean, you put a lot of
weight on it.

1292
01:02:10,817 --> 01:02:14,553
That could have been part of the
problem too, but I don't think it's
true. I really don't.

1293
01:02:14,772 --> 01:02:18,013
Yeah, I don't find it's for us to
determine what it is.

1294
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:22,115
It's whether it is the trees is what
they're trying to determine. So

1295
01:02:22,633 --> 01:02:27,199
with that in line, with that straight
line, with that straight line, I
don't think it is either one of them

1296
01:02:27,266 --> 01:02:28,950
trees, so I don't think we should
remove either one of them.

1297
01:02:29,279 --> 01:02:32,158
due to the evidence that we have
before us.

1298
01:02:32,248 --> 01:02:37,342
I think you'd see an angle going
across on a diagonal towards that if
it was either one.

1299
01:02:37,409 --> 01:02:40,221
So, yeah, coming straight out there,
I just don't think that's possible.

1300
01:02:40,288 --> 01:02:43,626
I think the the push would be on them
through

1301
01:02:45,041 --> 01:02:46,369
go straight.

1302
01:02:50,500 --> 01:02:56,468
I think they just have trees in front
and they're just thinking of the they
might be those, but obviously I don't
think it is.

1303
01:02:58,232 --> 01:03:00,852
You know, the trees

1304
01:03:02,018 --> 01:03:03,346
Oh. Yeah.

1305
01:03:03,772 --> 01:03:05,386
Yeah, it would be a right in the
asphalt.

1306
01:03:06,721 --> 01:03:11,702
Take a picture take a picture with
your iPhone and it'll tell you what
kind of tree it is that's coming out
of the driveway.

1307
01:03:12,599 --> 01:03:14,761
take your a picture because it still
works.

1308
01:03:15,508 --> 01:03:17,743
No, I mean like you have to go from
the driveway.

1309
01:03:17,810 --> 01:03:18,839
Yeah.

1310
01:03:18,906 --> 01:03:19,739
Yeah.

1311
01:03:19,806 --> 01:03:21,898
I'm pretty sure that's a poplar.

1312
01:03:22,296 --> 01:03:24,302
They're pretty cool.

1313
01:03:24,369 --> 01:03:25,697
plants.

1314
01:03:26,740 --> 01:03:27,580
Yeah.

1315
01:03:27,647 --> 01:03:31,961
So any one on council would consider
removing either one of those trees?

1316
01:03:33,306 --> 01:03:37,769
They're beautiful trees and I don't
see what they could always just tell
them to not

1317
01:03:38,257 --> 01:03:39,586
Yeah.

1318
01:03:41,555 --> 01:03:45,730
Can you motion that we you know, the
trees

1319
01:03:47,155 --> 01:03:48,991
Cuz that what it is when you it's a
negative motion.

1320
01:03:49,058 --> 01:03:51,987
We should because it should be
documented that was heard, so.

1321
01:03:54,617 --> 01:04:00,974
So it's the motion is to not not do
it just respond that we won't.

1322
01:04:01,402 --> 01:04:02,391
Yeah.

1323
01:04:02,458 --> 01:04:09,193
through your inquiry and
investigation we find that these
trees are not the cause of that
particular issue.

1324
01:04:09,891 --> 01:04:13,480
I think we'd be open to throwing in
there if they can prove it.

1325
01:04:13,547 --> 01:04:20,522
Then we could revisit that, but they
want to pay for somebody to come out
there and go yeah, or I mean, they'd
have to dig up part of the driveway
to know.

1326
01:04:22,215 --> 01:04:23,544
Right, but

1327
01:04:24,148 --> 01:04:25,832
That's not our responsibility.

1328
01:04:32,418 --> 01:04:34,560
Okay, as far as motion, all those in
favor.

1329
01:04:34,630 --> 01:04:35,958
That was carried.

1330
01:04:39,053 --> 01:04:40,448
Now can I add something?

1331
01:04:41,056 --> 01:04:44,944
Just seems to me again looking at the
bylaw for our urban forestry.

1332
01:04:45,011 --> 01:04:49,983
Um, I wonder if our our bylaw there
is a bit out of date.

1333
01:04:50,511 --> 01:04:55,436
Um, we hire engineers for our
infrastructure to build the sewer and
everything.

1334
01:04:55,503 --> 01:05:02,477
Maybe we need to be looking at in our
budgets, um, to hire a professional
in urban forestry to assess and help

1335
01:05:04,815 --> 01:05:10,786
us to make a a plan related to its
aging and our desires to have trees.

1336
01:05:10,853 --> 01:05:15,974
I just think maybe it's time. We got
a lot of trees that are about the
same age.

1337
01:05:16,253 --> 01:05:18,246
We do get our current tree,

1338
01:05:18,313 --> 01:05:20,775
like our the company that comes in to
do tree trimming,

1339
01:05:20,842 --> 01:05:23,965
he actually does drive the town and
look to make

1340
01:05:24,032 --> 01:05:26,438
like see what kind of shape if
something's in danger.

1341
01:05:26,505 --> 01:05:30,810
a real report like an engineer's type
report.

1342
01:05:30,989 --> 01:05:32,556
I think he does give us a report.

1343
01:05:32,623 --> 01:05:33,456
You think he does?

1344
01:05:33,523 --> 01:05:38,318
I'm pretty sure he's no arborest, and
I'm pretty sure he's no arborest, and
I'm pretty sure he gives us a report
on the trees already.

1345
01:05:38,385 --> 01:05:40,059
But I'll look into it for sure.

1346
01:05:40,507 --> 01:05:42,741
Yeah, we got that specific thing to
have a

1347
01:05:42,808 --> 01:05:43,641
Mhm.

1348
01:05:43,708 --> 01:05:45,674
the tree and talk about the
revilizing the trees like

1349
01:05:45,741 --> 01:05:50,297
Well, I wanted to look at our pilot
too and make sure that it's viable.

1350
01:05:50,364 --> 01:05:53,343
I think it's great for when we had
young trees.

1351
01:05:53,990 --> 01:05:56,411
Now we have some really aging trees.

1352
01:05:56,969 --> 01:05:58,735
We seem to be dealing with the other
end.

1353
01:05:58,802 --> 01:05:59,672
Yeah.

1354
01:05:59,739 --> 01:06:01,067
For sure.

1355
01:06:01,901 --> 01:06:03,000
Thank you.

1356
01:06:03,067 --> 01:06:03,900
On to new business.

1357
01:06:03,967 --> 01:06:08,898
First off, we have Orange Memories
minutes from August the 12th.

1358
01:06:10,054 --> 01:06:11,382
Jason.

1359
01:06:13,890 --> 01:06:15,295
He's getting there.

1360
01:06:16,271 --> 01:06:17,559
We are evil.

1361
01:06:17,626 --> 01:06:19,290
Don't you even start.

1362
01:06:19,519 --> 01:06:20,937
Or if I may there.

1363
01:06:21,004 --> 01:06:21,837
Yes.

1364
01:06:21,904 --> 01:06:28,631
Um, did that or tax payer also wanted
to know about killing some of them
weeds or trees in the driveway using
a spray?

1365
01:06:28,698 --> 01:06:33,752
Yeah, I just got that message today
so I haven't run it by Bob yet, so
I'll ford that to him to deal with
it.

1366
01:06:33,819 --> 01:06:34,759
Okay.

1367
01:06:34,826 --> 01:06:36,154
Sorry.

1368
01:06:36,978 --> 01:06:39,143
be. Counselor Hunter, you chaired the
meeting, so

1369
01:06:39,210 --> 01:06:40,588
I got lucky because

1370
01:06:40,655 --> 01:06:43,075
[laughter]
somebody failed.

1371
01:06:43,424 --> 01:06:44,752
Okay.

1372
01:06:46,014 --> 01:06:47,302
Uh, it was a good meeting.

1373
01:06:47,369 --> 01:06:51,973
Um, it wasn't very long. Uh,
everything was pretty much
straightforward.

1374
01:06:52,590 --> 01:06:58,989
Um, things are going well. Uh,
occupancy is full. They've got a very
long waiting list.

1375
01:06:59,056 --> 01:07:03,772
to the point where some people who
are inquiring or just moving on
because they don't see an opportunity
to get in there.

1376
01:07:03,839 --> 01:07:05,695
I think they're like 30.

1377
01:07:05,762 --> 01:07:06,781
34.

1378
01:07:06,848 --> 01:07:07,847
34, 36.

1379
01:07:07,914 --> 01:07:11,391
34 on the waiting list, the pay on
the list. Like it's

1380
01:07:11,939 --> 01:07:13,008
So, um,

1381
01:07:13,075 --> 01:07:16,066
I mean, good for them. They've
obviously built a reputation there.

1382
01:07:16,133 --> 01:07:20,189
People want to come. we had 21 sweets
we could fill them.

1383
01:07:21,773 --> 01:07:23,178
But we don't.

1384
01:07:23,755 --> 01:07:25,469
till John builds the ranch.

1385
01:07:26,147 --> 01:07:27,591
Oh yeah, it's right.

1386
01:07:27,791 --> 01:07:29,238
Maybe it's a good time to sell.

1387
01:07:29,305 --> 01:07:30,138
Yeah.

1388
01:07:30,205 --> 01:07:31,490
Could be.

1389
01:07:31,557 --> 01:07:33,548
It's a great marketing time.

1390
01:07:33,615 --> 01:07:35,322
Yeah, great marketing time.

1391
01:07:35,389 --> 01:07:36,717
I wonder.

1392
01:07:37,989 --> 01:07:43,030
Yeah, uh, other than that, nothing,
um, as far as I recall, nothing
unusual.

1393
01:07:43,150 --> 01:07:44,019
No.

1394
01:07:44,086 --> 01:07:46,378
Things are moving along this, they're
moving along.

1395
01:07:46,876 --> 01:07:48,331
uh, residents are active.

1396
01:07:48,610 --> 01:07:53,265
Uh, they've been getting out a little
bit more like away from the uh, the
facility itself,

1397
01:07:53,332 --> 01:07:56,541
and they seem to be enjoying that, so
they're going to continue that.

1398
01:07:57,846 --> 01:08:00,030
We're doing a museum tour, so they
said.

1399
01:08:00,097 --> 01:08:01,894
Yes.

1400
01:08:01,961 --> 01:08:06,238
they hit the tea house and just they
hit the tea house and just they hit
it when there was a birthday party
going on.

1401
01:08:06,305 --> 01:08:10,791
And all the people volunteering there
had a come to Jesus type of moment,
so it was busy.

1402
01:08:10,858 --> 01:08:11,691
[laughter]

1403
01:08:12,053 --> 01:08:16,041
They they were not expecting that
kind of volume, but it was great.

1404
01:08:16,108 --> 01:08:18,672
Great party there and great tea,
coffee and tea.

1405
01:08:18,739 --> 01:08:20,462
And they went to Necles.

1406
01:08:20,768 --> 01:08:21,601
Yes.

1407
01:08:21,668 --> 01:08:23,633
And they went to uh the Perry barn.

1408
01:08:23,700 --> 01:08:24,729
I've never been to bigger.

1409
01:08:24,796 --> 01:08:25,629
They really getti-

1410
01:08:25,696 --> 01:08:26,529
ng.

1411
01:08:26,596 --> 01:08:27,685
not just around town.

1412
01:08:27,752 --> 01:08:29,418
No, they were at Harris Museum.

1413
01:08:29,485 --> 01:08:30,318
Oh, okay.

1414
01:08:30,385 --> 01:08:32,995
They did a barbecue there.

1415
01:08:33,723 --> 01:08:35,758
She say they were there for about six
hours.

1416
01:08:35,825 --> 01:08:37,369
Oh, Jesus Christ.

1417
01:08:38,425 --> 01:08:39,753
How do they travel, man?

1418
01:08:40,547 --> 01:08:41,666
Um, individuals.

1419
01:08:41,733 --> 01:08:42,566
Okay.

1420
01:08:42,633 --> 01:08:46,309
families. like family caravans, kind
of thing. families taking.

1421
01:08:47,342 --> 01:08:48,175
as a rule.

1422
01:08:48,242 --> 01:08:55,216
Yeah, it's been I know they haven't
done a lot of that as much in the
past, but a lot of it this last month
and it's been very popular, so

1423
01:08:55,396 --> 01:08:57,371
I expect they'll be continuing that.

1424
01:08:57,438 --> 01:09:01,025
And they're looking for an outside
person to come on the board.

1425
01:09:01,214 --> 01:09:06,326
Yes, we still do have the member at
large vacancy. So

1426
01:09:07,232 --> 01:09:11,200
Um, one of the things we thought is
if council could try and just amplify

1427
01:09:11,267 --> 01:09:13,193
the the voice out there.

1428
01:09:13,260 --> 01:09:16,787
They're going to talk more to um like
the family of the residents

1429
01:09:16,854 --> 01:09:19,500
to see if they can get one of them

1430
01:09:19,567 --> 01:09:21,370
because that would be ideal, right?

1431
01:09:21,437 --> 01:09:23,652
Somebody who's got a parent in the
facility.

1432
01:09:23,811 --> 01:09:28,075
Um, but if not, then we're they're
going to have to kind of look around.

1433
01:09:28,364 --> 01:09:32,003
A good a good thing for coffee with
counselor again to add to your list
to talk to people.

1434
01:09:32,070 --> 01:09:33,996
I think that would be a great idea.

1435
01:09:34,063 --> 01:09:34,896
Yeah.

1436
01:09:34,963 --> 01:09:37,556
We'll put it on I think Morgan was
going to reach out to the family
first.

1437
01:09:37,623 --> 01:09:42,388
and then after that, um, put on
Facebook for outside.

1438
01:09:42,455 --> 01:09:43,783
Yeah.

1439
01:09:43,950 --> 01:09:46,182
um support as well.

1440
01:09:46,681 --> 01:09:49,402
Yeah, I think we should just, you
know, make sure we're supporting that
effort.

1441
01:09:49,469 --> 01:09:56,177
because it I mean, we've had quorum,
but it wouldn't take too much, you
know, a couple of people get sick, we
don't have quorum.

1442
01:09:56,244 --> 01:10:00,040
It's it's not a particularly deep uh
board.

1443
01:10:02,033 --> 01:10:03,777
Any other questions?

1444
01:10:04,444 --> 01:10:05,640
Nope.

1445
01:10:05,707 --> 01:10:07,271
letter report.

1446
01:10:08,098 --> 01:10:10,711
Counselor, I move the report.

1447
01:10:10,778 --> 01:10:13,837
All those in favor? That is carried.
Thank you.

1448
01:10:16,965 --> 01:10:18,938
Next, we have fire services
agreement.

1449
01:10:22,883 --> 01:10:26,759
So this is when I met with the arms
and talked with the fire services
agreement.

1450
01:10:27,098 --> 01:10:33,457
Um, I think we're still going to do a
little bit more work on the seriona,
then, we'll fine tuning to what's all
on there and such before.

1451
01:10:33,524 --> 01:10:37,602
Uh, yeah, I think and maybe discuss
again maybe with the arms and have
another

1452
01:10:37,669 --> 01:10:40,160
Yeah, there was a couple of other
small changes that they wanted, but
um,

1453
01:10:40,628 --> 01:10:46,785
I guess one concern I have about the
agreement is that's relying on SOPs
from 1995.

1454
01:10:46,945 --> 01:10:51,129
Okay. Um, I don't know if that's
accurate. If it is, they need to be
updated.

1455
01:10:51,398 --> 01:10:55,057
But uh, so that's part that's that's
something the agreement again that
we're going to have to look at.

1456
01:10:55,124 --> 01:11:00,856
It's always good to whenever you're
doing something like this to update
those things, such as you mentioned.

1457
01:11:00,923 --> 01:11:03,377
So it it gives us a great opportunity
to do that. So

1458
01:11:03,444 --> 01:11:07,970
that's why I always wanted to make
sure you have another review of it
while we

1459
01:11:08,037 --> 01:11:13,277
when we discuss with the arms as well
if they're happy with it and what
changes need to be made and such, so

1460
01:11:14,035 --> 01:11:15,482
What is an SOP?

1461
01:11:15,549 --> 01:11:17,791
Uh, standard operating procedures.

1462
01:11:18,468 --> 01:11:25,356
So, uh, I just in discussion with the
mayor, um, just certainly dig into
little the fire department just a
little bit

1463
01:11:25,423 --> 01:11:31,015
to kind of see what they're doing and
how they're doing it and, you know,
if it's working or if there's maybe
some recommendations that need to be
made.

1464
01:11:31,082 --> 01:11:37,010
So I have a meeting with the Fire
Chief, um, scheduled for Thursday,
um, this Thursday.

1465
01:11:37,239 --> 01:11:43,190
And I've also requested all the fire
um SOPs and and billing structures

1466
01:11:43,257 --> 01:11:48,371
and governance structures from our
partner communities, I'm going to
call them.

1467
01:11:48,438 --> 01:11:53,220
So the same ones I kind of reach out
to before, Outlook unity, um,
Kinderley and Bigger.

1468
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:58,035
And uh just to see you kind of how
they're running their fire
departments and, you know, their best
practices

1469
01:11:58,102 --> 01:12:01,868
to make sure that we're doing the
best that we can for our fire
department as well as the residents,
so.

1470
01:12:03,931 --> 01:12:06,551
Great job. It's what you wanted,
right? Great job, Jim.

1471
01:12:06,940 --> 01:12:09,686
I don't think we're find ready to
finalize on it yet.

1472
01:12:09,753 --> 01:12:13,588
So we'll just table it and uh for
more more.

1473
01:12:13,655 --> 01:12:16,584
Sounds good. Any comments from
counselor, questions?

1474
01:12:17,072 --> 01:12:18,663
Great job. It's good to get a lot of
work.

1475
01:12:18,730 --> 01:12:25,179
It's uh it's a that's again another I
want to say barrel of monkeys, but
that's not the right word I'm looking
for, but a can of worms. We'll say.

1476
01:12:25,246 --> 01:12:32,067
That's a pretty big can of worms to
unpack I think, so it's going to take
a while to to review it properly and
do it right, so.

1477
01:12:32,988 --> 01:12:36,707
I think the support was really there
in the meeting with the RM's.

1478
01:12:36,774 --> 01:12:39,324
M. Yeah. It was very positive, yeah.

1479
01:12:39,444 --> 01:12:45,953
Yeah, I think it was, we're on the
same page, I think we all can concur
that our fire department is very
valuable to our

1480
01:12:46,020 --> 01:12:47,773
ourselves and our district.

1481
01:12:47,923 --> 01:12:53,027
And uh I think the RM's agreed as
well that we need to work together
to, you know, to uh

1482
01:12:53,094 --> 01:12:54,382
Make sure this can happen and

1483
01:12:54,449 --> 01:12:55,282
Yeah.

1484
01:12:55,349 --> 01:13:01,977
to to work as partners and uh to
navigate this uh our fire department
to into the future.

1485
01:13:02,044 --> 01:13:08,184
And uh working together like we see
and hear about other communities
having some issues with that.

1486
01:13:08,251 --> 01:13:11,213
So we want to make sure we
collaborate and work together as best
as we can.

1487
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:15,576
So I think we have that, we heard
that from both all sides around the
table here. So

1488
01:13:15,643 --> 01:13:19,891
I think that's a great start to this,
and as we continue on and move into
the future,

1489
01:13:19,958 --> 01:13:23,268
I think it's great to have RM's with
us as partners and supporters.

1490
01:13:23,335 --> 01:13:25,507
of uh, the town here. So that's
great.

1491
01:13:26,713 --> 01:13:30,820
Yeah, I I've found that they were
very like almost aggressively
agreeable.

1492
01:13:30,887 --> 01:13:35,682
They really I think they really
appreciate the the ability to pool
those resources

1493
01:13:35,749 --> 01:13:38,838
in Roose Town for them and uh,

1494
01:13:38,958 --> 01:13:42,109
you know, they're committed to making
sure it works. So

1495
01:13:42,176 --> 01:13:45,745
I think I think we're going to find a
good agreement out of this. I don't
think we're going to have any
problems.

1496
01:13:45,812 --> 01:13:52,720
It's going to be said, the the the
guys of the actual they're on scene.

1497
01:13:52,787 --> 01:13:57,609
They, you know, nobody's got any
complaints. They do their job, they
do it well.

1498
01:13:58,476 --> 01:14:01,933
Um, you know, so let's just make sure
we get it all sorted out so we

1499
01:14:02,152 --> 01:14:06,519
And all, and as always, counselor,
very appreciative of the work that
they do, our fire department for the
town.

1500
01:14:06,586 --> 01:14:10,750
So it's they do a great job for us
and we always want to appreciate that
work that they do. Sure.

1501
01:14:11,438 --> 01:14:14,676
Okay, so I guess that can just be
tabled. Yeah.

1502
01:14:15,015 --> 01:14:16,798
Next, we have

1503
01:14:18,083 --> 01:14:20,245
Athlete Haven Road closure request.

1504
01:14:23,603 --> 01:14:27,528
I just want to read this. It's a
great one, so I'd like to read it.

1505
01:14:28,286 --> 01:14:29,982
Sure, I just need the time that she
left here.

1506
01:14:30,049 --> 01:14:31,504
14. B 14.

1507
01:14:32,759 --> 01:14:35,063
Okay, we have a letter from Athlete
Haven request.

1508
01:14:35,130 --> 01:14:41,440
saying, On behalf of Athlete Haven, I
am writing a request permission to
temporary close the 200 block of Main
Street in Roose Town on Sunday,

1509
01:14:41,507 --> 01:14:44,827
September the 20th, 2026.

1510
01:14:44,894 --> 01:14:48,192
as part of our 45th anniversary
celebration.

1511
01:14:48,501 --> 01:14:53,174
Athlete Haven has been proud to be
part of Rosetown business community
since 1981.

1512
01:14:53,244 --> 01:15:00,218
And this year marks an exciting
milestone for us, 45 years in
business, as well as five years since
we took ownership of the store.

1513
01:15:01,075 --> 01:15:05,040
We would love to celebrate these
milestones by creating a special
community event.

1514
01:15:05,459 --> 01:15:07,643
and the heart of downtown Roetown.

1515
01:15:07,710 --> 01:15:11,579
Our vision is to make the day much
more than an in-store celebration.

1516
01:15:11,646 --> 01:15:14,999
We hope to create a fun
family-friendly atmosphere on Main
Street

1517
01:15:15,066 --> 01:15:17,776
that encourages people to come
downtown,

1518
01:15:17,843 --> 01:15:20,892
spend time together, and celebrate
our community.

1519
01:15:21,171 --> 01:15:25,627
A street closure would allow us to
safely incorporate activities such as

1520
01:15:25,694 --> 01:15:28,843
outdoor sporting goods
demonstrations,

1521
01:15:29,082 --> 01:15:31,533
barbecue fundraising lunch,

1522
01:15:31,722 --> 01:15:35,070
and family or family-friendly games
and activities.

1523
01:15:35,627 --> 01:15:38,602
As the event will take place on
Sunday,

1524
01:15:38,669 --> 01:15:40,861
we hope the closure will create
minimal disruption,

1525
01:15:40,928 --> 01:15:46,059
the requested road closure times for
that day would be from 8:00 AM to
5:00 PM.

1526
01:15:46,308 --> 01:15:49,536
We would be happy to work closely
with the town regarding barricades,

1527
01:15:49,656 --> 01:15:52,346
emergency access, cleanup,

1528
01:15:52,585 --> 01:15:56,015
or any other conditions Council feels
are necessary

1529
01:15:56,082 --> 01:15:59,151
to ensure this event is safe and well
organized.

1530
01:15:59,509 --> 01:16:01,345
Thank you for considering our
request.

1531
01:16:01,412 --> 01:16:04,902
We would be happy to provide any
additional information required

1532
01:16:04,969 --> 01:16:08,556
and look forward to working with the
town to make the event a success.

1533
01:16:08,785 --> 01:16:10,439
Signed, Jenna Moore.

1534
01:16:11,505 --> 01:16:12,753
So first from behalf of Council,

1535
01:16:12,820 --> 01:16:15,845
congratulations to Athletes Haven and
45 years in business.

1536
01:16:15,912 --> 01:16:19,927
They're a definitely a a staple in
our community of a business that's

1537
01:16:19,994 --> 01:16:23,292
been successful for so many years.

1538
01:16:23,571 --> 01:16:25,563
And it's wonderful that they're doing
this.

1539
01:16:26,689 --> 01:16:29,808
I think it'd be great if we can block
off that, uh,

1540
01:16:30,356 --> 01:16:33,537
block on Sunday from the 200 block.

1541
01:16:33,604 --> 01:16:34,922
Do you need a motion for that?

1542
01:16:34,989 --> 01:16:37,114
Or the street, just make sure there's
no concerns

1543
01:16:37,181 --> 01:16:39,027
from public works or administration.

1544
01:16:39,094 --> 01:16:42,945
I I haven't I should run this through
Bob, but I don't anticipate any
concerns.

1545
01:16:43,012 --> 01:16:44,307
Any concerns, Kelly or?

1546
01:16:44,374 --> 01:16:46,599
Yeah, on the Sunday it should be fine
to do that.

1547
01:16:46,666 --> 01:16:49,568
I just wondered if they have if they
really have enough to do

1548
01:16:49,635 --> 01:16:52,078
from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

1549
01:16:52,145 --> 01:16:56,592
I think that's just the time they're
requesting, it'll it'll probably only
run from here to here,

1550
01:16:56,659 --> 01:16:58,817
just gives them time for setup and
take down and everything.

1551
01:16:58,884 --> 01:17:01,581
I just kind that was my one concern.

1552
01:17:02,109 --> 01:17:08,558
Actually, I had the other one that
the other one that the seniors and
the church people run to the Moz for
lunch on Sunday.

1553
01:17:08,625 --> 01:17:12,025
Are they still going to be able to
park somewhere reasonably close?

1554
01:17:12,092 --> 01:17:14,217
I think if it's just that block, they
should be okay.

1555
01:17:14,284 --> 01:17:15,950
I think that's at the end of the
block.

1556
01:17:16,017 --> 01:17:18,488
Yeah, the side street should be fine.
Yeah, the other end.

1557
01:17:18,867 --> 01:17:20,830
So a half block either side probably.

1558
01:17:22,623 --> 01:17:28,362
And it's not too much of a compromise
for an event like this, 45 years of
celebrating.

1559
01:17:28,621 --> 01:17:34,057
We're lucky to have this closure, I
think that's a not through road
repair, it's for an event.

1560
01:17:34,124 --> 01:17:36,096
I think they're doing the dunk tank
too, so.

1561
01:17:36,163 --> 01:17:39,561
[laughter]
Oh, another dunk tank!

1562
01:17:39,650 --> 01:17:41,516
You look so excited, Trevor.

1563
01:17:41,583 --> 01:17:43,925
[laughter]

1564
01:17:44,154 --> 01:17:45,499
That's a great idea.

1565
01:17:47,422 --> 01:17:49,029
Okay, I'll make that motion.

1566
01:17:49,096 --> 01:17:51,995
All those in favor? Motion is
carried.

1567
01:17:54,047 --> 01:17:56,292
I guess we can have counselor
Aldusberg come back in.

1568
01:17:56,359 --> 01:17:57,903
I can grab her.

1569
01:17:58,272 --> 01:18:00,334
Eden's got it. Oh, there we are.

1570
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:05,764
Just make sure they know barricades
to stop them to pick up.

1571
01:18:06,491 --> 01:18:11,075
I was like, if everybody disagrees
with me, then I'll just leave just in
case.

1572
01:18:11,692 --> 01:18:14,113
Well, we just volunteered you to do
all the work, Trevor.

1573
01:18:15,528 --> 01:18:20,094
barricades at volunteering you to
pick the barricades up.

1574
01:18:20,161 --> 01:18:22,336
And Trevor thought he'd look good in
the dunk tank.

1575
01:18:22,403 --> 01:18:26,627
[laughter] Yeah. No. No dunk tank.

1576
01:18:26,807 --> 01:18:29,068
No, I don't do dunk tanks.

1577
01:18:29,277 --> 01:18:30,296
Okay, moving on.

1578
01:18:30,363 --> 01:18:32,227
Our bylaws, we have none.

1579
01:18:32,755 --> 01:18:34,538
And in camera there's none from in
camera.

1580
01:18:35,544 --> 01:18:36,417
So there's only one thing left.

1581
01:18:36,484 --> 01:18:37,413
I would do that there, right?

1582
01:18:37,480 --> 01:18:39,081
[laughter]
Council, here.

1583
01:18:39,390 --> 01:18:42,730
All those in favor? Motion to
adjourn. Motion is carried.
