1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,920
Local government meeting, please.

2
00:00:04,860 --> 00:00:06,100
Uh, g...

3
00:00:06,100 --> 00:00:13,000
Yeah, that's bilingual recognition. I'll talk a little bit about that. We're already on the road for that, so...

4
00:00:14,770 --> 00:00:16,460
Yeah, the recording has started.

5
00:00:17,060 --> 00:00:17,680
632.

6
00:00:18,340 --> 00:00:18,960
632.

7
00:00:24,340 --> 00:00:26,620
Okay, Anita, motion to approve the agenda.

8
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:27,600
All in

9
00:00:31,340 --> 00:00:32,880
favor.

10
00:00:33,340 --> 00:00:33,720
All in favor.

11
00:00:39,450 --> 00:00:41,150
Any declaration of conflict of interest?

12
00:00:41,150 --> 00:00:42,250
motion

13
00:00:48,870 --> 00:00:51,330
to approve the minutes of the last meeting of October the 7th

14
00:01:03,690 --> 00:01:04,950
Questions from the public,

15
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:08,740
pardon me

16
00:01:10,060 --> 00:01:11,400
Oh sorry, yeah

17
00:01:13,660 --> 00:01:17,900
So Lorna made the motion all in favor?

18
00:01:21,940 --> 00:01:22,760
Thanks Dix

19
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:23,860
Any

20
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,860
questions from the public?

21
00:01:34,220 --> 00:01:39,460
I would like to know whether Lorna answers to all those questions there

22
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,220
I'd like to know when we're going to have the answers for that.

23
00:01:52,580 --> 00:01:54,320
We're still waiting for some answers too?

24
00:01:54,780 --> 00:01:55,120
Are you?

25
00:01:55,140 --> 00:01:57,460
Yeah, we're not quite done with the...

26
00:01:57,460 --> 00:01:59,340
Okay, because...

27
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,340
Because they're saying you can style that.

28
00:02:04,140 --> 00:02:07,720
Is it already done that part, or it's going to be?

29
00:02:08,020 --> 00:02:10,220
Or like, what's that to there?

30
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,500
It's bugging me.

31
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:15,720
People I spoke to at the MNRF said that their surveyors are quite busy

32
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:22,660
And it'd be the end of 25 for the beginning of 26 before they get around to looking at the file

33
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:33,500
Yeah, to my understanding on now because what I like there it's the negotiate

34
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:42,300
Because when you negotiate this party with some and they lose some you know, so it's good for two parties, right?

35
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:44,200
So that's why I'm negotiating

36
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:46,400
Yeah.

37
00:02:50,380 --> 00:02:54,560
Yeah, if you can come across anything in your research, bring it to our attention, please.

38
00:02:54,740 --> 00:02:56,280
We'd like to put it to rest, really.

39
00:02:56,740 --> 00:03:00,200
Yeah. I think negotiating is the best.

40
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,620
We show that to the kids at school how to negotiate their rules and what to do with them.

41
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,800
So, at least, you know, we're not losing all the time.

42
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:16,880
Yeah. And I think it's important. I believe because I love, I love this moment.

43
00:03:18,740 --> 00:03:24,180
And maybe, you know, when you read more and you see more in your archives and stuff like that,

44
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,740
more you know about the place, more you love it.

45
00:03:28,780 --> 00:03:35,340
And I think it's very necessary to have six peoples of the council because these guys

46
00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:41,960
need people to know that you exist there when you go to the MRC and then you go elsewhere

47
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:50,960
because you represent the people around, you know, so it's important that those things

48
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:57,120
things are important for me, I think, because we represent the positions of this task, you know?

49
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:05,080
When we have it good, if we don't know, but when everybody's wrong, then, ah, I should have

50
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,000
did something, you know? But that's why I think it's important to ask these people.

51
00:04:09,780 --> 00:04:14,140
Because money, what is money, I know, it's only a number.

52
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:36,260
No, but it's true. It's a tool. Yes, it's a tool. But, you know, other places, they have their seats in the Montreal and everywhere, they, you know, they're in their scene, so that's very important for these guys to be six all the time.

53
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,980
Okay, well, that's all I've come to say, but I'm still doing research on this there.

54
00:04:42,980 --> 00:04:43,120
Great.

55
00:04:44,180 --> 00:04:44,660
Thanks, Miss Rainbow.

56
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:45,280
Yeah.

57
00:04:45,980 --> 00:04:46,360
Simon?

58
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:47,240
Yeah.

59
00:04:47,580 --> 00:04:48,540
Can I get an agenda?

60
00:04:50,260 --> 00:04:53,180
Yeah, I can print one for you, sorry.

61
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,880
Okay, sign them, sign them, cover them up by the mylaw.

62
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,380
No worries, no worries.

63
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:43,740
I do a lot of research on that, and I've seen, actually, when we started researching a lot of it, it's pretty amazing that what we've had in the past, and what we still have, actually, now.

64
00:05:46,340 --> 00:05:59,520
1931, I don't know, they proposed the road that went up a roadway, they were like all the way to Miscomand and up to Bill Murray, that was going to be the main highway, much not the 1931, but that would be the Model 8, in Paris.

65
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,720
There's a map and that's the actual legend for it says here.

66
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:14,320
it says it's a proposed road and I have another map that shows there's two main roads in the

67
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:21,060
chain there was only one road to the fort and one going to Doyle Post Office those are your

68
00:06:21,060 --> 00:06:28,000
two main roads and it's too bad to not have any control of that road because it is only

69
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:34,180
We need you guys to represent, and actually, they can do that.

70
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:36,320
We're sitting that motion.

71
00:06:37,340 --> 00:06:39,940
Because if that hill goes down, the road's shut.

72
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,860
And we really need your support.

73
00:06:51,130 --> 00:06:52,290
I've had a tragedy here.

74
00:06:53,870 --> 00:06:54,730
My wrong goal.

75
00:06:55,650 --> 00:06:57,010
And Billy wrote that.

76
00:06:57,210 --> 00:06:58,150
You've probably seen that, you guys.

77
00:06:59,310 --> 00:07:00,310
Did you all see that?

78
00:07:00,470 --> 00:07:01,530
Did you ever see that?

79
00:07:01,670 --> 00:07:01,830
No.

80
00:07:09,030 --> 00:07:12,980
I was just going to read one little thing here.

81
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,940
I was amazed at how much it was here in

82
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:20,680
a second.

83
00:07:24,230 --> 00:07:25,450
You had it under digital.

84
00:07:27,090 --> 00:07:32,650
One of the amazing things was at one time there were between 25 to 50 families living up there.

85
00:07:32,650 --> 00:07:37,900
And some of the houses were taken apart, and they're actually existing here in the scene.

86
00:07:45,570 --> 00:07:46,450
The Morrison's.

87
00:07:46,450 --> 00:07:47,630
The heritage is there.

88
00:07:51,070 --> 00:07:51,730
They let that go.

89
00:07:52,490 --> 00:07:55,150
I just can't understand what you guys are doing.

90
00:07:59,490 --> 00:08:01,050
I'm asking you to resend your motion.

91
00:08:03,220 --> 00:08:04,580
What are the respect, brains,

92
00:08:06,730 --> 00:08:07,210
that's right here?

93
00:08:08,290 --> 00:08:09,910
Did you get a copy of that? Read it.

94
00:08:10,610 --> 00:08:11,470
I've seen that.

95
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,100
Whatever trouble you guys put when we sit in here,

96
00:08:18,340 --> 00:08:18,920
a lot of it is,

97
00:08:20,420 --> 00:08:21,620
there's shades in there,

98
00:08:21,620 --> 00:08:23,020
I remember when you go back and look at this,

99
00:08:25,350 --> 00:08:26,510
it gets incredible.

100
00:08:26,790 --> 00:08:27,470
Our history is there.

101
00:08:29,470 --> 00:08:32,090
Any individuals like we have in us that will come up there.

102
00:08:35,740 --> 00:08:36,880
There's a lot of stuff in here.

103
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:39,580
You've never seen in the shame?

104
00:08:39,820 --> 00:08:40,040
Yep.

105
00:08:40,300 --> 00:08:40,540
You did?

106
00:08:40,700 --> 00:08:41,460
I've never seen it.

107
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:42,800
I'll do a copy.

108
00:08:43,460 --> 00:08:45,780
I asked him before I could use any of it,

109
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,700
because I wanted to make sure I wanted to buy

110
00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:49,280
his hired copy for him, because he worked there for that.

111
00:08:49,860 --> 00:08:50,760
He's a book though, actually.

112
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:51,360
We might have him in the archives.

113
00:08:52,700 --> 00:08:54,040
I had a little more information.

114
00:08:56,900 --> 00:08:58,200
What was the name of the book?

115
00:08:58,740 --> 00:09:04,360
It's the Trope Lake Settlement, dedicated in 1997, recognition of the binders of Settlement

116
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,400
and Trope Lake area in the middle of the 1800s.

117
00:09:08,460 --> 00:09:10,120
It was made up when they had the tour in there.

118
00:09:10,860 --> 00:09:11,960
Everybody got one that time.

119
00:09:13,260 --> 00:09:16,320
People don't talk about the indigenous, but the indigenous up there.

120
00:09:16,860 --> 00:09:21,100
The fur trade, that's where it came down to the Trope Lake Road.

121
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,440
That's where the road comes from.

122
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,240
There's school teachers.

123
00:09:30,380 --> 00:09:31,800
It's amazing what's in there.

124
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,480
And you have most offices in Michael Doyle, but there's actually three

125
00:09:38,180 --> 00:09:39,060
postmasters in there.

126
00:09:41,270 --> 00:09:42,550
School teachers that went

127
00:09:42,550 --> 00:09:46,930
to Fort Edge before they got trained and came back to teach in their own

128
00:09:46,930 --> 00:09:47,550
municipality.

129
00:09:50,330 --> 00:09:51,910
We can't let this go, guys.

130
00:09:54,350 --> 00:09:58,450
Nobody's asking us to pave the road, but let's keep it so we have it all that's safe.

131
00:10:00,890 --> 00:10:10,190
You just need to sit down and put the differences apart, because there's something that doesn't make sense to let that go.

132
00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:16,010
The Black River Road is not all municipal road either, because if you read what's on that paper,

133
00:10:16,010 --> 00:10:19,850
or any place that it's government on both sides of that road.

134
00:10:20,170 --> 00:10:24,530
The locks, it's owned by the MTQ, or it's owned by the MIRM,

135
00:10:25,090 --> 00:10:28,570
that hasn't been transferred, but they maintain the road.

136
00:10:31,180 --> 00:10:31,940
That can be developed.

137
00:10:32,220 --> 00:10:32,780
That can be developed by Walter.

138
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:33,820
Walter may phase it.

139
00:10:33,980 --> 00:10:35,700
And if you look at your map on the far side,

140
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,380
it's a cottage zone around the valley.

141
00:10:39,060 --> 00:10:40,660
It can still be developed.

142
00:10:42,700 --> 00:10:44,340
It's too bad they let all the locks go

143
00:10:44,340 --> 00:10:46,280
because all the locks were developed up there

144
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:51,360
floor for the immune spoutly to grow and someone was lost somehow by turning back to the government

145
00:10:52,780 --> 00:10:55,780
because I don't understand when they got turned back to the government because they're complete

146
00:10:55,780 --> 00:11:01,340
loss it should have went to the municipality for sales first I was concerned but I don't know how

147
00:11:01,340 --> 00:11:08,240
he did that way back then so the agreement at that time he went a year to uh for 10 years to

148
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:13,300
clear and make their year to get a deed and seven from the farmers didn't do that so it was

149
00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:19,320
was never deeded. It was never taken out of the land before. That's why. Once it's deeded,

150
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:20,940
it never goes back to the land before.

151
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,400
The dairy farm and all of that?

152
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,080
All of that. There's seven that were never deeded.

153
00:11:26,680 --> 00:11:28,280
So if they were never taken out?

154
00:11:28,780 --> 00:11:31,140
There'd be more kilometers that would last a long time.

155
00:11:31,700 --> 00:11:35,900
One of my farms, the back half of it, was indeeded and it went to the ground.

156
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:41,080
Farms on both sides of me are a mile long or wherever. One eye on this cut in half.

157
00:11:41,900 --> 00:11:45,780
Notaries told me that it wasn't the registered and I forget what year they

158
00:11:45,780 --> 00:11:55,500
were supposed to do that, but the factory is so bad, it's unreal, it's on my grandmother's

159
00:11:55,500 --> 00:12:01,440
brand, that the NPT owned that road and it was given to the municipality and part of that was

160
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:06,480
given to a landlord and I go on the site and it shows the road going right through the guys

161
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:07,280
threshold.

162
00:12:09,380 --> 00:12:11,900
I know that we're not supposed to speak so I'm asking

163
00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:18,180
if I can speak. So the interesting thing is, is that we do represent the

164
00:12:18,180 --> 00:12:24,540
constituents. And when I bring your concern about Truck Lake out to many

165
00:12:24,540 --> 00:12:30,220
other people in Sheen Grove, they, I represent them because they're telling me

166
00:12:30,220 --> 00:12:37,400
they don't want it because of the expense. The municipality can't afford it.

167
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:38,960
Okay, so please hear me out.

168
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,560
I just want to answer that.

169
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,100
Yes, please do.

170
00:12:42,580 --> 00:12:46,160
And so who's to say that the ministry,

171
00:12:46,580 --> 00:12:48,200
if the ministry takes it over,

172
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:49,660
who's to say,

173
00:12:50,420 --> 00:12:52,260
like nobody has said anything

174
00:12:52,260 --> 00:12:53,800
about shutting a road down.

175
00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:56,660
But who's to say that the ministry

176
00:12:56,660 --> 00:12:58,960
who has all this money

177
00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:01,960
versus the municipality

178
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,400
of Shinbro may invest in it,

179
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:12,260
they need that road. So who's to say that they will not invest in that road? Like they keep hearing,

180
00:13:12,540 --> 00:13:16,620
they're going to shut it down, they're going to, they're not going to maintain it, they're not, but

181
00:13:16,620 --> 00:13:22,680
who said that? What was the sign at the top of the hill when you told the words Kettle Lake that

182
00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:30,000
said the road closed? That's an M&RF road. But, but the Ministry of Transportation or the, the,

183
00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:35,040
They've never said anything about closing that road.

184
00:13:35,420 --> 00:13:38,160
They just don't maintain it, and they're very clear about this.

185
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,360
I can show you my email.

186
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:44,040
They do not maintain the road as users say.

187
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,920
So shouldn't we all be fighting with them?

188
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,480
And we can if we own five kilometers of it you'll have to say.

189
00:13:51,420 --> 00:13:53,400
We should be fighting with them.

190
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,480
I 100% agree with you.

191
00:13:56,100 --> 00:14:00,580
You have the snowmobile club and you have all these people who get grants, the bike club.

192
00:14:00,860 --> 00:14:02,440
They're right here asking you to help them out.

193
00:14:02,940 --> 00:14:05,400
They got all the government grants and they were looking up for,

194
00:14:05,780 --> 00:14:07,080
and they don't come up and brush through.

195
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:08,060
What did you talk to other people?

196
00:14:08,460 --> 00:14:10,220
It was very hard to get any of these clubs to do anything.

197
00:14:11,340 --> 00:14:15,200
And, like I said, we're not against the snowmobile club, we're not against the bike club.

198
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,620
But we'd like to get something out of that if they're getting all the government money, like you're saying.

199
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,140
And we're not against you.

200
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:32,200
I think we need to keep the emotional side away and we have to think logically.

201
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,200
We can talk about our ancestors and all that. That's emotional side.

202
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:43,580
But I think that we need to think about the logical side. What's the logic?

203
00:14:45,980 --> 00:14:49,660
I understand what you're saying, but you're saying that we're a cost factor.

204
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,320
Oh, it costs too much to keep our role up there.

205
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,600
How much money have you put in the role?

206
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,080
No, I didn't say that.

207
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,100
No, but that's what people are telling you. You can answer them.

208
00:14:59,260 --> 00:14:59,380
Yes.

209
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:09,420
This much money in the road. We collect $25,000 in tax. That's not all of it. We pay $580 each landlord for all the service

210
00:15:09,420 --> 00:15:18,740
charges up there, which we don't most of us use to don't. But we're supporting them so their cost is lower, but you want to

211
00:15:18,740 --> 00:15:22,260
our money and not give us anything for a role.

212
00:15:22,700 --> 00:15:24,300
This is supposed to be a question for you.

213
00:15:24,780 --> 00:15:25,600
No, but come on.

214
00:15:26,420 --> 00:15:27,420
She asked that.

215
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,380
When I run the meetings, this is the way I run meetings.

216
00:15:32,340 --> 00:15:36,480
I won't let it be repeated when it comes to that on the agenda.

217
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:38,580
Karen, let her say it.

218
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:38,820
Okay.

219
00:15:40,020 --> 00:15:41,020
I brought this.

220
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,320
I think it's great on that.

221
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:44,600
We should be able to have...

222
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:52,660
I think Enveria would be nice that we could come back when we hear something that we could actually put a little input when we sit through and we could give us a...

223
00:15:52,660 --> 00:15:55,920
Like you said at the beginning of the meeting and you hear stuff that you can't, then you can't open your mouth.

224
00:15:56,660 --> 00:15:59,080
And you've got to keep it to the next meeting. I don't think that's right either.

225
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,080
Yeah, there's some talk about moving the question period to the end, right?

226
00:16:02,180 --> 00:16:03,420
Yeah, you can do two as well.

227
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:03,760
Yeah.

228
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:09,380
Yeah, I'm trying to not keep it personally. You guys haven't dealt with it. I know that she's right.

229
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:18,980
I'm not here for pay as a counselor. I know that. That's for sure. But it's true though.

230
00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:22,840
You do know the facts that the numbers that we're putting out on that road and what we're

231
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:31,260
getting back is not the same. I can say if we were putting costings $25,000 and we're

232
00:16:31,260 --> 00:16:36,600
giving back ten. It's not that way. So that should be set straight for the few people.

233
00:16:39,670 --> 00:16:46,850
I just want to point out something that in our bills that we paid this month, there's

234
00:16:46,850 --> 00:16:52,770
an item in there that says truck lake road and it's $11,000 and something.

235
00:16:53,650 --> 00:16:55,430
So, I'm just going to show you.

236
00:16:55,430 --> 00:16:58,710
I'm not saying that this is the first year though too we have to remit to do this.

237
00:16:58,710 --> 00:17:00,610
Well, I wasn't in the first year that it was done.

238
00:17:00,730 --> 00:17:03,310
Well, why are we applying for grants for that one?

239
00:17:03,450 --> 00:17:04,310
Can I ask that question?

240
00:17:04,310 --> 00:17:07,870
because of the classification of the road there's no grants that I've ever seen

241
00:17:07,870 --> 00:17:13,170
for a local three-road yet I'm always looking and I wanted to say well goes

242
00:17:13,170 --> 00:17:18,030
the administration I'm always sending anything you have I'm always reaching

243
00:17:18,030 --> 00:17:22,110
out anytime I have time I'm always continuously looking into this to give

244
00:17:22,110 --> 00:17:25,990
counsel more information as much as I can give them I think we missed the

245
00:17:25,990 --> 00:17:33,970
train Mansfield is getting paid for 18 long from the F2 I did talk to them

246
00:17:33,970 --> 00:17:39,670
about that to figure out like how they and that was an agreement they had eons ago

247
00:17:39,670 --> 00:17:42,850
the guy said and he said don't ever think that's gonna happen to she and I

248
00:17:42,850 --> 00:17:46,430
tell you right now we won't I'm not history don't have this you said we

249
00:17:46,430 --> 00:17:49,950
missed the boat on that yeah I was asking not to be thrown underneath the

250
00:17:49,950 --> 00:17:55,470
rug because we because the US probably missed it and nobody's perfect that's

251
00:17:55,470 --> 00:17:59,910
for sure why we missed it I don't know why it was missed but I do know when I'm

252
00:17:59,910 --> 00:18:03,190
going through the air guys there's so much grant money that went on that

253
00:18:03,190 --> 00:18:08,090
before and now we don't get any. I don't understand that. I just can't figure it out. We can't get no

254
00:18:08,090 --> 00:18:10,330
grant money for that road. If you find one, send it my way.

255
00:18:12,690 --> 00:18:15,070
Mr. Bertrand? Greg Bertrand.

256
00:18:17,130 --> 00:18:23,730
Currently the owner, only resident, full-time Montreux Bay Road. I just want to bring up the

257
00:18:23,730 --> 00:18:31,390
fact that in 2019, when I bought that property with my wife, we bought it because it was listed

258
00:18:31,390 --> 00:18:40,850
as development, residential, recreational, commercial. It was wide open and advertised

259
00:18:41,750 --> 00:18:52,850
as a community as a municipal role. With, in several agendas and several budgets, $10,000

260
00:18:53,290 --> 00:19:00,750
allocated for every year, all of those things had to play into the decision of myself,

261
00:19:00,750 --> 00:19:07,090
my wife and several other people buying properties up there. Our major concern

262
00:19:07,090 --> 00:19:13,270
here is the fact that we knew we had 10 grand and now we risk losing it all

263
00:19:13,270 --> 00:19:19,570
because of user pay and when you give away that responsibility you give away

264
00:19:19,570 --> 00:19:25,650
your ownership of that five kilometers of road you now have to apply for

265
00:19:25,650 --> 00:19:31,670
everything you do. You need permission to get done. So where does that leave the

266
00:19:31,670 --> 00:19:39,190
people that are up there? I literally just spent $4,000 on a development plan for

267
00:19:39,190 --> 00:19:45,790
my property, which could potentially bring in another $50,000 in taxes annually

268
00:19:45,790 --> 00:19:53,570
in this municipality. In an area that you said nobody was allowed to live, but

269
00:19:53,570 --> 00:19:55,050
yet I was allowed to live.

270
00:19:57,540 --> 00:20:02,920
Why is the area being ignored and just shoved aside by the

271
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:09,960
handful of people that seem to be talking behind every line here and deciding factors

272
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:15,260
without the public consultation? This room is full of people all the time fighting for

273
00:20:15,260 --> 00:20:19,700
a job like Rome. There's never anybody here fighting for anything else.

274
00:20:22,250 --> 00:20:23,490
It means something.

275
00:20:23,490 --> 00:20:27,950
It's the last chunk of developable land in this municipality.

276
00:20:30,700 --> 00:20:35,600
You can't build on green land like one house on a property.

277
00:20:36,140 --> 00:20:38,440
You can't buy it unless you're a Quebec resident.

278
00:20:40,140 --> 00:20:42,000
Trout Lake Road is the same.

279
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,840
Or Trout Lake, sorry, all the way around it is the same as Lac McDonald.

280
00:20:47,420 --> 00:20:50,780
We can be bringing $100,000 in if you do it right.

281
00:20:50,780 --> 00:20:57,400
Now that it's been given away and nobody knows what the hell is going on, my main question

282
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:06,000
for this council is, will you ensure there is not a reduction in what you have already promised

283
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,660
and been giving your ratepayers on Trebley Road?

284
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:16,660
Will you put a resolution in effect to make sure that $10,000 remains in effect for the

285
00:21:16,660 --> 00:21:22,520
future to come, or will you put a resolution in effect and appoint a team of these counselors

286
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:29,280
to go to the MNRF and make sure that they put the $10,000 into it?

287
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:33,760
Because people have

288
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:43,600
invested, not just myself. Mr. Eliard, um, sorry. Clare Ramon. Clare Ramon, the O'Neill's,

289
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:51,040
employees, people have a substantial investment up there. They all actually own land that

290
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:58,380
can be still cut apart and sold to more people that can live there full time. We need to protect

291
00:21:58,380 --> 00:22:07,960
that. If you don't, then this is truly a retirement community and people will come here to die

292
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,540
Because there's no drugs.

293
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:12,780
Thank you.

294
00:22:13,540 --> 00:22:14,680
Thanks, Mr. Bergeron.

295
00:22:21,860 --> 00:22:22,560
Anyone else?

296
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:24,900
Anyone else?

297
00:22:25,710 --> 00:22:26,580
Question in front of the public?

298
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,800
Okay, question period ending at 6.54.

299
00:22:32,020 --> 00:22:33,120
6.54.

300
00:22:35,260 --> 00:22:37,940
Item number 6 is the municipal inspectors report.

301
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:44,020
Everybody

302
00:23:09,330 --> 00:23:10,190
get a copy of it?

303
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:14,440
Any questions?

304
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:20,780
So much paperwork.

305
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:34,320
Permits carried over in 23. One garage, one house, one septic, one forestry. Permits to date 24.

306
00:23:35,340 --> 00:23:41,600
Carried over from 23. Permits to date 24. Two houses, two septic, two garages. Three sheds,

307
00:23:41,900 --> 00:23:49,620
two tin roofs, one shoring, four wells, four additions, four renovations. He's currently

308
00:23:49,620 --> 00:23:57,040
working on assessment, access and approval of the subdivisions with the MAMMAT and CTPAQ,

309
00:23:59,540 --> 00:24:05,580
assessing new civic addresses to several lots and the Troke Lake and the Schwaier-Zachpac.

310
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,000
Now I had a question about that.

311
00:24:09,380 --> 00:24:15,180
Is it our responsibility to give out civic numbers

312
00:24:15,180 --> 00:24:17,060
in the TNO? No.

313
00:24:19,340 --> 00:24:21,980
So when he says St. Pat, he's below the

314
00:24:25,660 --> 00:24:28,780
We've had requests for specific numbers on Azure.

315
00:24:29,660 --> 00:24:30,260
Okay,

316
00:24:36,690 --> 00:24:37,090
all good.

317
00:24:42,770 --> 00:24:44,950
Administration, number seven, eight.

318
00:24:45,850 --> 00:24:48,310
Payment of the bills, need a motion.

319
00:24:50,410 --> 00:24:52,350
Everyone's had a chance to look at the bills.

320
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:38,980
I don't know where my copy of that is.

321
00:25:42,620 --> 00:25:43,460
All in favor.

322
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,100
All in favor?

323
00:25:52,700 --> 00:25:52,980
Yeah.

324
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:57,300
Recognize everyone.

325
00:25:57,300 --> 00:25:57,420
one.

326
00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,820
Does that work? No, no.

327
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,700
Is it completed?

328
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:02,380
No.

329
00:26:04,460 --> 00:26:05,480
It's scheduled.

330
00:26:06,740 --> 00:26:08,240
Does it have a material to do with?

331
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:09,720
Okay.

332
00:26:19,980 --> 00:26:22,180
Item number B, days you're a day payroll.

333
00:26:24,100 --> 00:26:26,360
I'll let Ashley...

334
00:26:27,380 --> 00:26:28,060
Ashley...

335
00:26:29,020 --> 00:26:30,200
explain that to you.

336
00:26:30,700 --> 00:26:33,180
So now that we don't have our accountant

337
00:26:33,180 --> 00:26:34,960
preparation of T4s

338
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:40,300
become an issue in the near. I know Doris for the longest time wanted us to do

339
00:26:40,300 --> 00:26:44,820
our payroll through Desjardins. When I came back I kind of explained to her that

340
00:26:44,820 --> 00:26:49,980
I could easily do it all. This was also with the aid of Jerry with me. Now that

341
00:26:49,980 --> 00:26:54,140
he's not there to get our T4s and everything it might be a good idea to

342
00:26:54,140 --> 00:27:00,340
do that. So it's up to council. It's the same price, roughly $1,200 a year.

343
00:27:00,340 --> 00:27:09,180
they produce our T4s for us and yeah. I think we've made a motion to do that in

344
00:27:09,180 --> 00:27:17,360
the past then we made a motion to send it yeah so we're just going back yeah not

345
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:19,780
having Jerry it just it does hold them.

346
00:27:22,210 --> 00:27:25,190
Rick made the motion all in favor?

347
00:27:34,900 --> 00:27:38,580
I can see a comparative income statement was given to council.

348
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,820
So by law, we have to present you with the comparative income statement once a year.

349
00:27:46,540 --> 00:27:48,780
And that's before you adopt the budget.

350
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,480
So it's just to show you where your budget was and where you actually are.

351
00:27:54,540 --> 00:27:57,460
Me and Jerry are still doing quite a bit of cleanup in the books.

352
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,640
So not everything is completely accurate.

353
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:05,120
I'm still missing a couple built-in stuff to put in as well, but it gives you an overview of where it works.

354
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,880
So we can review this before we start a budget meeting?

355
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:24,660
Yeah, it just has to be in the minutes that you were given the final positions today.

356
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,660
Yeah, you can check it out, you can make notes, you can call me.

357
00:28:29,980 --> 00:28:32,520
No motion

358
00:28:37,380 --> 00:28:37,780
for that.

359
00:28:47,410 --> 00:28:56,890
I had a number D, motion to adopt the bylaw, the elections, that's to go from six councillors

360
00:28:56,890 --> 00:28:57,330
to four.

361
00:29:06,860 --> 00:29:08,680
Is there any further discussion on it?

362
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:31,300
So you haven't till the end of December, so you potentially have one more meeting if you

363
00:29:31,300 --> 00:29:32,140
feel you need.

364
00:29:35,900 --> 00:29:37,900
It has to be signed to the government by December 30.

365
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:50,520
You wanted to do this to make a motion to not pull or to do it, nothing happens at all if we don't make a motion to do it.

366
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:59,340
So the bylaw you've already adopted the draft, you have your public consultation and then you either adopt the bylaw as it is to go from 6 to 4.

367
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,720
We can leave it for tonight if you want another month to think about it.

368
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,240
If we're not in favor, we just don't adopt it.

369
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,180
You just don't adopt it?

370
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,580
Yeah, that's why they want you to hold a public consultation to hear.

371
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:10,840
Right.

372
00:30:11,460 --> 00:30:12,220
So you can think about it.

373
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:12,840
That was good.

374
00:30:16,070 --> 00:30:17,230
I think that's a good idea.

375
00:30:17,390 --> 00:30:18,610
Some good points you brought up tonight.

376
00:30:18,850 --> 00:30:22,050
But we already had a lengthy discussion on it at the last meeting.

377
00:30:22,590 --> 00:30:25,850
So I think it'd be good if we had some more input, you know.

378
00:30:28,070 --> 00:30:29,670
We've had more time to think about it.

379
00:30:30,450 --> 00:30:31,490
Yeah, we have one more meeting.

380
00:30:31,490 --> 00:30:33,350
so yeah table

381
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,960
that okay item

382
00:30:58,450 --> 00:31:02,600
number e draft the bylaw for the contract

383
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,400
management yeah

384
00:31:06,830 --> 00:31:10,350
so the government came down with more rules to add to your

385
00:31:11,090 --> 00:31:17,770
contractual agreement which is basically when you hire for anything there's a

386
00:31:17,770 --> 00:31:21,630
part of it that you have to add by law and then there's a part of it that's a

387
00:31:21,630 --> 00:31:26,530
choice by council so one of the main parts you have to add by law is that

388
00:31:26,530 --> 00:31:29,990
that you are favoring effects goods and services

389
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,590
over any other Canadians, goods and service.

390
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,450
Then you're rotating your contractors

391
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,370
when awarding contracts by mutual agreement

392
00:31:40,370 --> 00:31:42,230
or inviting persons to tender.

393
00:31:43,350 --> 00:31:46,870
You can consider factors as degrees of expertise,

394
00:31:47,350 --> 00:31:48,970
customer experience previously had,

395
00:31:49,210 --> 00:31:51,450
deadlines for execution, experience

396
00:31:51,450 --> 00:31:53,470
in financial capacity, proposed price.

397
00:31:54,550 --> 00:31:57,590
So that is added automatically by law.

398
00:31:57,910 --> 00:32:03,370
Now, for the section where you can choose as a council to add or not, there's two sections.

399
00:32:04,770 --> 00:32:08,970
One of the first sections basically describes that if you're in a small municipality

400
00:32:09,670 --> 00:32:14,670
and there is food catering, gas station, pharmacy, hardware store, sales mechanical parts,

401
00:32:14,930 --> 00:32:21,170
rental machinery tools, and someone on council or someone on staff owns it,

402
00:32:21,170 --> 00:32:29,210
has shares in it or can you re-interest in it, you're allowing them to still be able to do business with them.

403
00:32:30,310 --> 00:32:36,690
It is kind of on a case-per-case basis. It has to be in those specific areas.

404
00:32:37,450 --> 00:32:44,890
If you do allow it, you have to post the employer elected official, the company, and all the purchases made

405
00:32:44,890 --> 00:32:46,270
it's still about the public's awareness.

406
00:32:47,330 --> 00:32:49,870
And then the second section that you can add

407
00:32:49,870 --> 00:32:52,430
is if you're doing manual service,

408
00:32:52,910 --> 00:32:53,810
and it's the same thing.

409
00:32:53,950 --> 00:32:55,750
So if you were to go to tender by invitation,

410
00:32:57,250 --> 00:33:01,750
you could technically get the official staff,

411
00:33:02,010 --> 00:33:03,470
perhaps, if they have the service they're offering.

412
00:33:04,130 --> 00:33:05,650
You would still have to do the same steps.

413
00:33:05,850 --> 00:33:07,090
So you have to post it on your website,

414
00:33:07,490 --> 00:33:09,050
the company name, and the amount that you're sending.

415
00:33:09,490 --> 00:33:13,270
So those two are a decision you can make to add or not.

416
00:33:14,930 --> 00:33:18,290
It's usually encouraged and small.

417
00:33:20,580 --> 00:33:25,000
Ashley, are you saying the volume on it says it must rotate?

418
00:33:25,620 --> 00:33:27,980
Yes, so that's probably not a choice.

419
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:30,700
Have we been doing that?

420
00:33:30,860 --> 00:33:31,100
Yes.

421
00:33:36,380 --> 00:33:38,060
Could you read again those ones?

422
00:33:38,740 --> 00:33:39,260
The parts.

423
00:33:39,660 --> 00:33:47,420
So there's food, catering, gas stations, pharmacy, hardware store, sale of mechanical parts, rental of machinery or tools.

424
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:54,260
Rental of machinery.

425
00:34:00,340 --> 00:34:05,340
I mean, it's always better to have it in, and then you don't have to use it.

426
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:11,800
You know, you'd still come to the table, you'd still discuss who you want to hire, but if

427
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:16,080
it's in there, at least think of how long do we use Roy.

428
00:34:16,380 --> 00:34:19,920
If Roy was here, we would still want to use Roy.

429
00:34:21,260 --> 00:34:27,760
So if it's there, you can use it, or you can choose that you just find easier not to put it in.

430
00:34:27,780 --> 00:34:30,140
So really, it's a matter of declaring...

431
00:34:30,140 --> 00:34:34,640
It has to be, we have to have a contractual agreement that's sent to the government,

432
00:34:35,020 --> 00:34:39,880
and they come down probably every two years, and they have to have this in, and this in.

433
00:34:40,220 --> 00:34:43,680
So this time, the first one you have to put in, and the other two that we do.

434
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:59,680
But that's real. The only difference is that they're saying that if somebody is involved with council, they can also be involved in certain businesses and do business with council, but it has to be done above the board.

435
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:06,460
You have to list the services you do without how much and someone has to be publicized so that everybody knows.

436
00:35:08,180 --> 00:35:20,540
Yeah, it's like if you had a gas station here for the guys. Well, we don't really want to send them to Forka Lunge, let's say, to get gas, but maybe a member on council owns the gas station, or a staff member also works there.

437
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:23,680
That's not our case then.

438
00:35:26,330 --> 00:35:27,990
This is new? Couldn't do that before?

439
00:35:28,430 --> 00:35:31,290
No, this is new. This is your green area.

440
00:35:31,570 --> 00:35:35,930
Yeah. Okay. There's a lot of controversy over that in the past.

441
00:35:36,810 --> 00:35:37,230
Down the line.

442
00:35:37,230 --> 00:35:43,430
And again, I'd have to really dig in to see exactly about it.

443
00:35:43,470 --> 00:35:45,410
Does that require a public concentration?

444
00:35:46,030 --> 00:35:46,250
No.

445
00:35:47,010 --> 00:35:48,450
But a notice of motion?

446
00:35:49,890 --> 00:35:51,110
Yes, notice of motion.

447
00:35:51,390 --> 00:35:53,610
And then you adopt your draft by law.

448
00:35:56,820 --> 00:35:57,440
Like the same name?

449
00:35:59,340 --> 00:35:59,640
Okay.

450
00:36:02,860 --> 00:36:04,260
Anyone like to make that motion?

451
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:06,180
Okay.

452
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:06,860
Good

453
00:36:20,910 --> 00:36:21,230
end draft.

454
00:36:22,390 --> 00:36:22,870
Sure.

455
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,640
Whose name goes on at American Lake?

456
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:50,760
Are they famous or not?

457
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:51,380
Yes.

458
00:36:56,940 --> 00:36:57,640
Good, Karen.

459
00:36:59,860 --> 00:37:01,760
So Rick made a motion to...

460
00:37:03,140 --> 00:37:07,800
Is there a motion to include all the optional ones as well?

461
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:08,700
Yeah, I think so.

462
00:37:09,860 --> 00:37:10,980
I don't know if that makes sense.

463
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:14,720
All those in favor?

464
00:37:15,140 --> 00:37:15,320
Yes.

465
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,540
MRC fire safety cover plan item F.

466
00:37:27,940 --> 00:37:30,220
Motion to adopt the MRC safety cover plan.

467
00:37:30,220 --> 00:37:31,060
So

468
00:37:33,500 --> 00:37:34,820
they reviewed this over a couple of years.

469
00:37:35,540 --> 00:37:37,580
Junienne got used in charge of securities

470
00:37:37,580 --> 00:37:39,500
on the entire MRC.

471
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,440
The motion he wants us to pass is

472
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,460
whereas the municipal council municipality of Schembroke

473
00:37:45,460 --> 00:37:47,740
previously adopted the proposed implementation plan

474
00:37:47,740 --> 00:37:50,260
of the MRC, Pontiac Fire Safety Plan,

475
00:37:50,700 --> 00:37:52,380
whereas significant changes have been made

476
00:37:52,380 --> 00:37:53,760
to the plan since its first draft

477
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,180
particularly updates to the responsibilities

478
00:37:55,180 --> 00:37:57,900
of individual municipalities and various other actions.

479
00:37:58,460 --> 00:38:00,060
Whereas the regional council of the MRC

480
00:38:00,060 --> 00:38:01,260
Pontiac has adopted a resolution

481
00:38:01,260 --> 00:38:06,360
to suspend the filing of the fire safety cover plan to allow for its re-adoption by local municipalities,

482
00:38:07,220 --> 00:38:10,780
whereas the revised implementation plan has been presented to the members of the municipal council

483
00:38:10,780 --> 00:38:16,460
for their review and consideration. It is proposed by a result that the council hereby adopts the

484
00:38:16,460 --> 00:38:20,460
revised implementation plan is presented and agrees to implement it as far as the fire safety

485
00:38:20,460 --> 00:38:20,940
measures

486
00:38:25,350 --> 00:38:30,710
change. Not really. That's not a lot. I mean, I read through it. Yeah, there's a big

487
00:38:30,710 --> 00:38:36,470
There isn't anything that really stands out as being a problem.

488
00:38:36,690 --> 00:38:38,130
I would say being a problem to anybody.

489
00:38:39,930 --> 00:38:41,170
The Emotion Guide.

490
00:38:41,570 --> 00:38:42,150
I'll make it.

491
00:38:43,050 --> 00:38:44,470
It doesn't give us much choice anyway.

492
00:38:44,810 --> 00:38:45,330
No.

493
00:38:50,580 --> 00:38:52,360
To unmix the motion, all those in favor?

494
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:52,840
Yeah.

495
00:38:53,220 --> 00:38:53,360
Yes.

496
00:39:00,190 --> 00:39:03,470
Item G, Charter of the French Language.

497
00:39:05,070 --> 00:39:09,110
Yeah, so I've been working on this as well as Bill 96,

498
00:39:09,110 --> 00:39:11,270
which it will come to later down below.

499
00:39:11,770 --> 00:39:16,670
Basically, it's a motion to set directives to regulate the use of languages other than

500
00:39:16,670 --> 00:39:19,270
French in municipal organizations in Quebec.

501
00:39:20,070 --> 00:39:25,910
So they are allowing us an exemption because we have been identified as a bilingual municipality.

502
00:39:26,370 --> 00:39:32,610
That being said, in order for us to be permitted to communicate internally in English,

503
00:39:33,130 --> 00:39:38,590
for us to be able to communicate with ratepayers in any language other than French, we will

504
00:39:38,590 --> 00:39:44,130
need to fill out that there's a tool the government has online and this motion

505
00:39:44,130 --> 00:39:50,330
allows us or allows me to go in and basically say in every situation we

506
00:39:50,330 --> 00:39:56,570
should be allowed to use English be it for a contract to a local a local

507
00:39:56,570 --> 00:40:02,730
contractor or you know an email to a rate payer if we don't have these

508
00:40:02,730 --> 00:40:10,790
allocations by I believe the deadline is December 1st, then we won't be allowed to

509
00:40:10,790 --> 00:40:15,050
moving forward. So it's primordial for us to be able to serve the public in English

510
00:40:15,050 --> 00:40:20,830
that we pass this motion. So I would need someone to make the motion to regulate

511
00:40:20,830 --> 00:40:23,170
the use of language other than French.

512
00:40:34,670 --> 00:40:40,470
If you go through with this and you get

513
00:40:40,470 --> 00:40:43,350
permission to do it in English, does it have to be bilingual or can be English

514
00:40:43,350 --> 00:40:49,910
only it has to be but yeah it gives you it allows you to use English okay which

515
00:40:49,910 --> 00:40:54,590
otherwise would not be permitted regardless of the the mother tongue of the

516
00:40:54,590 --> 00:41:01,770
the recipient Lorna makes the motion all those in favor item

517
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,340
H 25 budget for

518
00:41:11,340 --> 00:41:15,700
strap is presented to council for review and discussion we

519
00:41:19,500 --> 00:41:21,580
have some dates in

520
00:41:21,580 --> 00:41:25,760
future for budget discussions.

521
00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:37,290
You want to give yourselves time to go over what

522
00:41:37,290 --> 00:41:42,470
they had so far and wait till then to really get into it or if there's any

523
00:41:42,470 --> 00:41:48,370
questions tonight. Well we'll get to the dates thereafter but as far as

524
00:41:48,370 --> 00:41:55,680
discussing this item now presented a council for review and discussion.

525
00:41:56,300 --> 00:41:59,360
Jerry is still helping me.

526
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,420
He did give me some little facts that I wanted to tell you.

527
00:42:10,380 --> 00:42:15,060
So we all know there's an increase in tax valuation for the new roll that's coming up.

528
00:42:15,180 --> 00:42:21,440
So in 2024, we were evaluated at 95 million for 82700 in chain.

529
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:26,980
For 2025, we're up to 145,552.

530
00:42:26,980 --> 00:42:36,420
so you're at a 52.6% increase a lot of that due to COVID as well so at this

531
00:42:36,420 --> 00:42:41,820
point if you wanted to keep your tax bills exactly the way they were without

532
00:42:41,820 --> 00:42:46,460
this big increase your mill rate now is 56 cents you'd have to drop your mill

533
00:42:46,460 --> 00:42:53,460
rate 2.367 cents just to show you the big difference so you're at 56 cents now

534
00:42:53,460 --> 00:42:57,040
you'd have to drop it to 36 cents. 36.

535
00:43:00,140 --> 00:43:01,700
Because of the valuation difference.

536
00:43:02,980 --> 00:43:08,400
And that's to keep it exactly the same. You'll obviously need a bit of an increase.

537
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:15,940
So what me and Jerry are going to do is go through and get at least a good idea of your revenues that are coming in,

538
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:20,260
your expenses that are going out, and then that's, once you have the majority of those in,

539
00:43:20,260 --> 00:43:26,100
that's when you can kind of see where you can get your mill rate because you

540
00:43:26,100 --> 00:43:30,520
basically just want to balance you want to make sure you're just charging to

541
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:30,700
operate.

542
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:40,520
But is there room to increase the spending to try and improve the

543
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:45,620
infrastructure? Yeah so that's why as a council you go over your expenses and

544
00:43:45,620 --> 00:43:50,520
your projects that you want and then you can kind of see where it lands.

545
00:43:53,490 --> 00:43:53,930
I do

546
00:43:53,930 --> 00:43:58,750
You have some fees already for service fees.

547
00:43:59,530 --> 00:44:02,310
Your police fees last year were $173.

548
00:44:03,510 --> 00:44:05,590
This could fluctuate by a little bit there.

549
00:44:05,790 --> 00:44:08,490
So this year they're going to be $177.

550
00:44:10,030 --> 00:44:12,010
And that reflects the true cost.

551
00:44:13,290 --> 00:44:17,050
Your fire and rescue for 2024 was $178.

552
00:44:17,690 --> 00:44:21,250
And you'll be able to drop it to $157 for 2025.

553
00:44:21,250 --> 00:44:21,450
by.

554
00:44:25,650 --> 00:44:35,030
It used to be at 178 and it's gonna go to 157. Oh well the cost from

555
00:44:35,030 --> 00:44:41,750
she'll take you back went down. Really? You have two additional users of service

556
00:44:41,750 --> 00:44:46,570
fees, not that that would give you a huge difference, but two new properties.

557
00:44:53,540 --> 00:44:53,660
Yeah

558
00:44:53,660 --> 00:44:57,940
that police cost this year was 81,177.

559
00:45:00,110 --> 00:45:03,250
And the fire department was 72,075.

560
00:45:03,830 --> 00:45:05,530
Do you

561
00:45:10,810 --> 00:45:14,250
know of any increases or decreases with the wastes mentioned?

562
00:45:15,370 --> 00:45:20,050
It should stay close to the same for next year. We'll probably see a difference the next year.

563
00:45:21,110 --> 00:45:22,750
That's one of the laws of the changing.

564
00:45:24,530 --> 00:45:25,470
Excuse me.

565
00:45:26,450 --> 00:45:28,390
Can I ask a question about the budget?

566
00:45:29,330 --> 00:45:29,650
No.

567
00:45:30,990 --> 00:45:32,810
Because it's big lines, right?

568
00:45:33,990 --> 00:45:36,270
Where does the road apply to that there?

569
00:45:36,830 --> 00:45:37,950
Because it's not an infrastructure.

570
00:45:42,630 --> 00:45:43,970
Oh, that's complicated.

571
00:45:45,770 --> 00:45:49,770
We've several different sources of income for the roads

572
00:45:49,770 --> 00:45:53,990
and then from that we divide up the contracts for snow removal

573
00:45:53,990 --> 00:45:57,730
and so what we're left with is usually based on

574
00:46:00,050 --> 00:46:03,210
what we had been doing in the past as far as ditching and culverts and everything.

575
00:46:03,210 --> 00:46:04,030
Okay,

576
00:46:07,290 --> 00:46:09,130
can I say it in French?

577
00:46:09,850 --> 00:46:10,450
No, I'm sorry.

578
00:46:11,550 --> 00:46:12,910
Okay, we can translate it in English.

579
00:46:13,550 --> 00:46:14,550
We can do the translation.

580
00:46:14,930 --> 00:46:18,910
Okay, because I like to understand the budget,

581
00:46:19,490 --> 00:46:20,710
trying to understand the budget.

582
00:46:21,310 --> 00:46:22,130
But if you know,

583
00:46:23,590 --> 00:46:25,710
because there you have the employees of the ministry

584
00:46:25,710 --> 00:46:28,090
who work on the showroom and everything, right?

585
00:46:28,750 --> 00:46:31,110
But the layout of the path,

586
00:46:32,190 --> 00:46:33,910
this is the operator of the computer.

587
00:46:33,910 --> 00:46:34,670
Yes.

588
00:46:35,610 --> 00:46:42,950
But where is the budget? Because I see that it is a big line of budget. But there it is complicated, it is done.

589
00:46:43,750 --> 00:46:54,690
Because we receive financial sums, we receive money to maintain the local roads.

590
00:46:54,930 --> 00:46:55,190
Ok.

591
00:46:55,530 --> 00:46:56,670
But it is very limited.

592
00:46:59,030 --> 00:47:04,070
Yes, both. Well, there's the tech, in any case. It's very complicated because it's

593
00:47:04,070 --> 00:47:07,350
that, the rates change each year.

594
00:47:09,970 --> 00:47:20,990
The 148 is the MTQ. So we don't touch the 148. It's just, so this money is allotted

595
00:47:20,990 --> 00:47:29,790
only for yeah yeah so the more we can get our employees to do better because

596
00:47:29,790 --> 00:47:33,790
we're already playing them hourly grading it's just a contract on its own so

597
00:47:33,790 --> 00:47:38,110
grading is a contract snow plowing is a contract and they're all in the budget

598
00:47:38,110 --> 00:47:39,410
line you can see them

599
00:47:39,410 --> 00:47:49,070
Like, you can see, there are a lot of people on the table, but there are no people on the other table, like some...

600
00:47:49,070 --> 00:47:50,870
Do you know when you do the books there?

601
00:47:51,190 --> 00:47:51,370
Yeah.

602
00:47:51,710 --> 00:47:51,990
Okay?

603
00:47:52,470 --> 00:47:57,870
There's somewhere it's written that they did, if it's a provincial or a federal road, you know?

604
00:47:59,030 --> 00:48:00,030
Because I wanted to...

605
00:48:00,030 --> 00:48:02,590
Let's say, example, Trout Lake, okay?

606
00:48:03,370 --> 00:48:04,610
What type of road is that?

607
00:48:05,290 --> 00:48:09,430
it's a local three so it's not we can't get grants or money for it that's the

608
00:48:09,430 --> 00:48:16,950
problem okay so we get a big road maintenance grant every year like a

609
00:48:16,950 --> 00:48:21,070
hundred eighty three thousand roughly and we take that amount and we divvy it up

610
00:48:21,070 --> 00:48:25,110
mostly on our roads so that'll pay our snow plowing our grating sweeping

611
00:48:25,110 --> 00:48:29,750
ditching gravel all those things kind of road related it's one big grant we

612
00:48:29,750 --> 00:48:34,410
usually get it okay sorry could you could you itemize those questions maybe

613
00:48:34,410 --> 00:48:39,130
before the next meeting, it seems to be quite complicated. It's not a question period and

614
00:48:39,130 --> 00:48:44,970
we need to move on to a big agenda. I'm sorry. The last question. Okay, that's okay. I'm

615
00:48:47,490 --> 00:48:54,610
trying to understand the before and maybe later on, like how come before they have the

616
00:48:54,610 --> 00:49:02,990
money to do that? Oh, the programs change all the time. Oh, okay. You know? They had agreements

617
00:49:02,990 --> 00:49:06,670
in the past when the MTQ turned over a lot of roads in Sheenbrook to the

618
00:49:06,670 --> 00:49:11,690
municipality that was some of the agreements that came to but they was

619
00:49:11,690 --> 00:49:15,330
a time limit on it I would imagine. To my acknowledge, Anita.

620
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:23,200
We do have a public

621
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,060
council meeting that you can attend.

622
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:28,780
He's going to get to the dates.

623
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:34,260
Specifically for budget. Yeah, so you can come and it's only about budget.

624
00:49:34,260 --> 00:49:35,360
When is that going to be?

625
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:37,520
We're coming to it.

626
00:49:39,260 --> 00:49:40,140
Thank you.

627
00:49:40,180 --> 00:49:40,940
Have you got an agenda?

628
00:49:41,820 --> 00:49:43,540
Yes. You'll find it then.

629
00:49:43,820 --> 00:49:44,320
Okay, thanks.

630
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:49,160
Okay, so we can move on. Any more discussion on the budget?

631
00:49:52,220 --> 00:49:52,940
It's very preliminary.

632
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:02,220
Budget meeting dates.

633
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:03,760
Oh, it was next.

634
00:50:05,540 --> 00:50:06,140
10th

635
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:28,000
on December 9th, and then the work session for the budget if requested by council if

636
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:32,460
they want an additional work session, but the 28th is what actually is not proposed.

637
00:50:37,140 --> 00:50:45,480
So what are council's feelings on these dates for the budget meeting being on December

638
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:46,540
the 9th?

639
00:50:54,830 --> 00:50:55,310
I

640
00:50:58,640 --> 00:50:59,700
feel like I was thinking of you.

641
00:50:59,700 --> 00:50:59,940
Monday.

642
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:01,000
Yeah.

643
00:51:04,310 --> 00:51:09,570
And then, in addition to that, if you require, you could have a working session.

644
00:51:15,530 --> 00:51:16,370
Tell it before then.

645
00:51:16,690 --> 00:51:17,070
Twenty-eight.

646
00:51:18,110 --> 00:51:18,590
Yeah.

647
00:51:19,290 --> 00:51:20,590
So you have your meeting today.

648
00:51:21,030 --> 00:51:25,510
And then if you want to have a work session in between this meeting and your December meeting,

649
00:51:25,650 --> 00:51:27,070
you're just your regular council meeting.

650
00:51:27,590 --> 00:51:29,170
You can have one where it's just council.

651
00:51:29,730 --> 00:51:31,270
And you can hash through everything.

652
00:51:31,270 --> 00:51:40,210
Then you have a chance to discuss it again at your December 6th public meeting and then you adopt it at your December 6th, especially budget.

653
00:51:42,030 --> 00:51:44,010
The work session is just a few more.

654
00:51:44,190 --> 00:51:45,650
November 20th is a Thursday.

655
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:51,600
I'm not available on the 28th.

656
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:52,820
Neither one.

657
00:51:54,340 --> 00:51:55,340
Can we do this on Monday?

658
00:51:55,700 --> 00:51:57,860
I couldn't be doing on the 25th of November.

659
00:51:58,080 --> 00:51:58,540
You can.

660
00:51:58,540 --> 00:52:05,200
I was just hopeful because I'm off on vacation all next week and then the Monday, so don't

661
00:52:05,980 --> 00:52:07,420
But I mean it doesn't matter

662
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,500
As long as you're open to not much changing

663
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,980
From what you're seeing tonight. What about December 2nd?

664
00:52:23,740 --> 00:52:25,020
There's too much to have it

665
00:52:25,820 --> 00:52:37,880
earlier. Why could we come for an hour or two before? It gives you more time to

666
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:38,180
have a

667
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:48,300
plate first and then. Yeah, we came by the second, but we came to say it by five o'clock.

668
00:52:59,510 --> 00:53:01,970
So December 9th, 5 o'clock?

669
00:53:02,290 --> 00:53:03,890
December 2nd?

670
00:53:03,890 --> 00:53:04,730
December 2nd.

671
00:53:04,730 --> 00:53:05,910
Before meeting we're done.

672
00:53:06,250 --> 00:53:06,490
Okay.

673
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:10,200
Thank you.

674
00:53:10,580 --> 00:53:12,140
And so then you just need a motion for this.

675
00:53:12,900 --> 00:53:13,420
Okay.

676
00:53:14,820 --> 00:53:15,860
All right.

677
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:21,390
So yeah, we need a motion then for the public meeting

678
00:53:21,390 --> 00:53:22,770
and adopt the agenda.

679
00:53:25,010 --> 00:53:27,910
Adopt the budget December the 9th.

680
00:53:31,810 --> 00:53:36,110
So, what are we doing? Is it December the 9th, the public consultation?

681
00:53:38,770 --> 00:53:41,270
Well, just to be clear, not a consultation.

682
00:53:43,170 --> 00:53:45,370
It's just presenting the budget right now.

683
00:53:48,020 --> 00:53:50,700
Oh, I need a motion to present it.

684
00:53:51,140 --> 00:53:51,920
Not a mixed motion.

685
00:53:54,540 --> 00:53:55,380
I'll make up.

686
00:53:57,700 --> 00:53:58,920
Uh, Karen already did it?

687
00:53:59,120 --> 00:53:59,240
Yeah.

688
00:54:03,500 --> 00:54:04,000
No problem.

689
00:54:05,420 --> 00:54:06,340
That was a state.

690
00:54:09,140 --> 00:54:11,240
What time is that, 6.30?

691
00:54:12,500 --> 00:54:12,940
6.30?

692
00:54:14,240 --> 00:54:15,380
What about 2?

693
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:16,600
Standard.

694
00:54:16,900 --> 00:54:17,600
Public meetings.

695
00:54:18,100 --> 00:54:26,910
So December the 2nd at 5, and December the 9th at 6.30.

696
00:54:27,310 --> 00:54:27,470
Correct.

697
00:54:29,870 --> 00:54:31,930
Karen made the motion. All those in favor?

698
00:54:33,370 --> 00:54:34,050
Mr.

699
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,900
Tessier will then update us until 96.

700
00:54:44,900 --> 00:54:52,320
So we had an update. We had a roundtable meeting with representatives of the other 23 municipalities involved.

701
00:54:53,540 --> 00:54:57,760
There's several proposals. One was the defense collaboration proposal.

702
00:54:58,540 --> 00:55:08,660
And it essentially is that if any one of the 23 municipalities is targeted by this legislation,

703
00:55:08,660 --> 00:55:15,500
that we stand united, at least in a public statement, if it should occur, you know,

704
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:20,900
all for one, all one for all kind of thing. And if any municipality is affected,

705
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:27,200
they will contact Code St. Luke, any of the 23, and then the legal team will

706
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:35,160
immediately attempt to trigger a new court stay. So right now, because the law

707
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:44,380
law hasn't been shown by the government to be egregious. There is a stay currently. And

708
00:55:44,380 --> 00:55:51,720
so it's not, you know, it's not the end of the story, but until the law is applied in

709
00:55:51,720 --> 00:55:58,720
egregious way, the judge disagreed with the assertion that it was, because you can't

710
00:55:58,720 --> 00:56:03,060
prove something that hasn't happened yet, essentially. So that's the reason for the

711
00:56:03,060 --> 00:56:09,740
stay. There is a legal fee update. So we've only spent 66% of the original budget, which

712
00:56:09,740 --> 00:56:15,780
is $1 per permanent resident. If you look at the costs of the other municipalities, we

713
00:56:15,780 --> 00:56:21,120
are currently contributing less than 1% of the legal fees. So we're along for the ride,

714
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:28,080
but because of the size of our municipality, our cost is still very low. There is a request

715
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:36,740
that if necessary, a reserve of remaining funds be created for future needs, and that would

716
00:56:36,740 --> 00:56:44,840
be 34 cents per resident, again, very low cost for us as plaintiffs. And everyone, they're

717
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:52,760
agreed. So only two municipalities have experienced calls concerning the law. There have been

718
00:56:52,760 --> 00:57:00,020
no violations, even though the legal requirements, it's up to them whether they enforce it or

719
00:57:00,020 --> 00:57:05,380
not. Currently the government isn't enforcing the law. So yeah, we're encouraged to report

720
00:57:05,380 --> 00:57:10,700
any complaints or citations and then that will be forwarded to our legal advisors.

721
00:57:11,380 --> 00:57:17,200
This was also agreed upon by the group. And the last thing is the unified communication.

722
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:21,780
So the group will draft a common message on their stance regarding the group challenge.

723
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:28,720
This message will be sent for approval before the appeal deadline to the council and prior to publication.

724
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:42,780
And again, the group has agreed on a unified approach so that everyone be on the same page when it comes to discussing this publicly with any news outlets or government organizations or anything like that.

725
00:57:42,780 --> 00:57:49,860
So things are going okay. We haven't lost. We haven't won. There's still money in the

726
00:57:49,860 --> 00:57:55,220
coffers. We may be asked to kick in that 34 cents in the near future, although that is

727
00:57:55,220 --> 00:58:00,000
uncertain. And it's going to take quite a while for this to work its way through the courts.

728
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:02,680
So we just need to be patient.

729
00:58:03,540 --> 00:58:07,700
So Simon, what's an example of how they would target me in this reality?

730
00:58:09,140 --> 00:58:12,720
So for example, in the case of...

731
00:58:14,060 --> 00:58:15,540
Just email in between me and Simon.

732
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:17,220
Yeah, really, that's it.

733
00:58:17,340 --> 00:58:18,500
Any internal communication.

734
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:24,660
So even though Ashley and I speak to each other in English, we would be forced to communicate

735
00:58:24,660 --> 00:58:25,900
through email all in French.

736
00:58:25,900 --> 00:58:34,700
French, there's a ton of stipulations as to how the contracts would have to be done unilingual

737
00:58:34,700 --> 00:58:35,400
francophone.

738
00:58:35,620 --> 00:58:38,960
We wouldn't be allowed to tender public contracts in English language.

739
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:45,860
So there's a few different things like that that are part of the process like the legal

740
00:58:45,860 --> 00:58:46,240
appeal.

741
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:55,600
That's what they're saying is that if the watchdogs come for the French language

742
00:58:55,600 --> 00:59:00,200
that we all stick together, that we all let each other know that it's happened, and that

743
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:06,680
there will be a shared response from the 23 municipalities. And if they do, we're kind

744
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,820
of hoping that they do, because that would give us an opportunity to then say that the

745
00:59:10,820 --> 00:59:18,620
law is egregious. They haven't used it in the way that we fear they will. And they're

746
00:59:18,620 --> 00:59:24,170
saying that's the reason why that it's not, you can't really contest it like I

747
00:59:24,170 --> 00:59:28,030
saying you can't say it's egregious until harm has actually been done.

748
00:59:28,950 --> 00:59:37,010
So it's in the judge's hands for now and we're just going to keep applying and all that.

749
00:59:37,230 --> 00:59:42,370
Simon, could they target you in discussions with our employees?

750
00:59:43,130 --> 00:59:43,630
Yes.

751
00:59:44,090 --> 00:59:44,850
So that's it.

752
00:59:45,630 --> 00:59:50,290
Any community, well it's hard obviously to mandate conversations.

753
00:59:51,070 --> 00:59:52,470
It's not a big brother situation.

754
00:59:52,470 --> 00:59:58,930
But it could be as far as like your size on the door. You don't have them in both languages. Yeah, it can be very simple

755
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:10,260
Yeah. It's basically, think of it as being forced to be unilingual francophone with no recourse to the English language whatsoever.

756
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:14,880
Everybody understand that?

757
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:15,840
Yeah.

758
01:00:16,300 --> 01:00:22,760
There's 23 registered bilingual municipalities in the province. We're just trying to retain that.

759
01:00:22,980 --> 01:00:25,080
How come they say bonjour high?

760
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:32,100
That's the Banjo Hai thing is a Montreal thing and they're trying to stop it. Also it's worth

761
01:00:32,100 --> 01:00:38,140
mentioning that some of these 23 municipalities are not recognized as officially bilingual.

762
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:43,540
There are actually, there's only a two or three maybe, but they are unilingual French and they

763
01:00:43,540 --> 01:00:50,040
have thrown in with us out of principle. So there's a principled objection to the law because,

764
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:57,100
you know it's they see it as as unfair to anglophones there's only two or three I'd

765
01:00:57,100 --> 01:01:00,920
have to go through the list of municipalities I just know that not all

766
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:06,440
the municipalities on the list are officially recognized as bilingual

767
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:15,740
pardon me we are we receive that because of our what's it called the forms

768
01:01:15,740 --> 01:01:21,560
you fill out the come-to-your-house the census the census establishes us as a

769
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:26,040
well as a majority anglophone yeah it's thanks to the census that we're able to

770
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:29,800
apply and say we are a bilingual municipality that status has been

771
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:36,040
granted us and so this is just us trying to defend ourselves basically from

772
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:39,020
Bill 96 okay and

773
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:48,080
Kay need a motion to apply for a grant for the summer

774
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:50,140
student for 25 dick

775
01:01:55,260 --> 01:01:59,420
made the motion all those in favor fast

776
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:07,980

01:02:24,260 --> 01:02:25,540
made the motion all in favor

780
01:03:05,130 --> 01:03:16,770
Thank you for your financial support over the past years. Your municipality's annual contribution to the organization assists in covering the operating costs of the facility.

781
01:03:16,770 --> 01:03:21,430
community and helps ensure lasting benefits to the community such as social interaction,

782
01:03:21,850 --> 01:03:27,110
the facility serves as a gathering place for families and friends fostering community bonds,

783

overall well-being and community pride.

794
01:04:21,830 --> 01:04:26,030
A well-maintained rink can become a source of pride and identity for the community.

795
01:04:26,770 --> 01:04:30,930
Your support is very important and we hope that your municipality will continue to contribute

796
01:04:30,930 --> 01:04:38,350
the usual amount of $5,000 in 2024 and 2025. Respectfully, David Weincourt, President.

797
01:04:40,430 --> 01:04:40,870
Thank you.

798
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:51,740
This isn't $10,000 today.

799
01:04:52,420 --> 01:04:56,760
$5,000 for 2024. And then if you want to pass for next year.

800
01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:58,060
For next year?

801
01:04:58,220 --> 01:05:01,480
Yeah. We haven't paid 2024.

802
01:05:02,180 --> 01:05:02,920
We haven't paid it.

803
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:06,520
But we made a motion to pay it.

804
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:21,320
I'll make a motion for this

805
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:25,480
year or both years?

806
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:28,740
Well, I don't know. Do you want to make the other before the budget?

807
01:05:29,340 --> 01:05:30,420
Why don't we just do one?

808
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:31,760
I think we can next year.

809
01:05:33,980 --> 01:05:35,700
Well, yeah, it should only be for 224.

810
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,260
I think we haven't gotten our budget yet,

811
01:05:38,340 --> 01:05:40,000
but we need to make our budget for 225.

812
01:05:41,940 --> 01:05:42,840
Let's just do it again.

813
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:45,120
Okay, for 224 that.

814
01:05:45,540 --> 01:05:49,100
Change of wording to pay the 5,000 budgeted?

815
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:49,840
Yeah.

816
01:05:50,140 --> 01:05:50,420
24?

817
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:51,120
Yeah.

818
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:54,520
John made the motion. All those in favor?

819
01:05:54,980 --> 01:05:55,200
Yes.

820
01:06:03,650 --> 01:06:04,690
Office closures.

821
01:06:09,700 --> 01:06:14,480
I'm gonna turn this over to the DG. Simon and myself both have

822
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:19,740
vacation next week. So does Kelvin. So we were going to close the office Monday

823
01:06:19,740 --> 01:06:27,540
Tuesday Wednesday. Just easier. Happened. We ended up taking up the exact same week.

824
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:34,680
But it might be easier that way there. Everybody's off. Kelvin's off. So that

825
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:41,480
be closing from November 18th to the 20th. And then a motion to have the office closed for

826
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:47,700
Christmas holidays, which we normally do, December 23rd to January 3rd.

827
01:06:53,970 --> 01:06:55,410
What day is the building

828
01:06:55,410 --> 01:07:01,870
inspector going to be here? He's in on Monday. So he will be here the 18th? The 18th. So the

829
01:07:01,870 --> 01:07:07,320
office will be open? He'll be here, yeah. I mean, they can't pay taxes.

830
01:07:10,180 --> 01:07:11,080
I don't know if he'll be here, but...

831
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:11,860
Do

832
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:22,120
we need to stress that or just close it on these dates?

833
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:26,580
At this time of the year you have nobody.

834
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:28,480
He can't pay for that.

835
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:32,380
Coming in just to make it clear like there's no payments or anything.

836
01:07:34,100 --> 01:07:36,360
Doris is always reachable all the way off as well.

837
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:38,140
She can't extend if there's anything.

838
01:07:38,660 --> 01:07:39,900
Do you need a motion for that?

839
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:40,500
Yes.

840
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:41,420
I'll make the motion.

841
01:07:43,770 --> 01:07:45,870
Some of you are working on transfers out on this Sunday.

842
01:07:46,290 --> 01:07:48,870
Yes, Brian is doing this Sunday and then Calvin's back up.

843
01:07:52,070 --> 01:07:54,170
Karen made the motion, all in favor?

844
01:07:54,570 --> 01:07:55,550
Yes, ma'am.

845
01:07:56,450 --> 01:07:56,750
Passed.

846
01:08:07,570 --> 01:08:15,190
Bibliode Udoei, motion to contribute to the library, minimum amount is $65, but we've

847
01:08:15,190 --> 01:08:17,110
normally contributed $650.

848
01:08:19,570 --> 01:08:23,530
That 65 thing is just kind of came to light.

849
01:08:24,070 --> 01:08:30,550
It's always been there, but nobody remembers mentioning it before, but anyhow.

850
01:08:30,550 --> 01:08:30,650
No.

851
01:08:32,130 --> 01:08:33,610
So what's in our budget last year?

852
01:08:34,690 --> 01:08:35,130
Six.

853
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:40,560
It just says for 2025,

854
01:08:41,420 --> 01:08:44,320
the minimum amount is 50 cents per capita,

855
01:08:44,540 --> 01:08:46,500
according to the official gizette.

856
01:08:47,340 --> 01:08:48,340
And when I went and looked it up,

857
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:50,860
we were 130 people at 50 cents.

858
01:08:51,380 --> 01:08:52,360
So that's your minimum, 60.

859
01:08:54,260 --> 01:08:57,040
It is to note that it's only us and Alamed Island.

860
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:02,320
What's your name?

861
01:09:05,820 --> 01:09:06,520
And then you have to,

862
01:09:06,660 --> 01:09:07,560
do you want to just do the minimum

863
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:08,620
or is there a certain amount?

864
01:09:08,620 --> 01:09:17,380
I know. I thought that's what it has been. I know before we gave more. So what does everybody think?

865
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:20,220
Well, if we have it in our budget.

866
01:09:22,440 --> 01:09:23,860
It was budgeted before now?

867
01:09:24,060 --> 01:09:25,420
This is for next year.

868
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:26,540
For 650?

869
01:09:27,060 --> 01:09:27,340
Yeah.

870
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:28,520
So we're asking.

871
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:30,420
So we need to put that in our budget.

872
01:09:30,420 --> 01:09:33,640
Yes. You've already paid for this year. It was in your budget.

873
01:09:33,820 --> 01:09:34,460
And we paid 650.

874
01:09:44,660 --> 01:09:49,400
They want an answer. Yeah, they did by the end of November. So we need a motion that

875
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:50,520
we will put it in their budget.

876
01:10:00,180 --> 01:10:01,160
Didn't they need them out?

877
01:10:12,740 --> 01:10:13,140
They're probably trying to

878
01:10:13,140 --> 01:10:19,740
motion to put something in the budget for whatever budget you need. Like how we just say we will.

879
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:25,940
How we will. If everybody agrees that they're going to give the sick person, say we will give them the

880
01:10:25,940 --> 01:10:32,000
expected put-it-in-air budget. You just have to agree on an amount and when you agree on the amount

881
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:36,020
you're agreeing that you are going to put it in your budget. You just have to agree on an amount.

882
01:10:36,020 --> 01:10:42,840
I don't make that motion that way. From whatever budget we need we just put it in. Everybody agrees.

883
01:10:48,060 --> 01:10:50,120
John makes the motion. All in favor?

884
01:10:50,660 --> 01:10:50,980
Yeah.

885
01:10:54,170 --> 01:10:56,350
And to be clear, we're keeping it up the same amount?

886
01:10:56,970 --> 01:10:57,290
Yeah.

887
01:10:58,150 --> 01:10:58,550
650.

888
01:11:03,330 --> 01:11:04,770
The Coonerary Interest Farm.

889
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:10,540
Just has to be noted that you were...

890
01:11:10,540 --> 01:11:12,000
Oh yeah, those things, we filled up those.

891
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:16,240
They're only waiting for mine.

892
01:11:17,480 --> 01:11:18,960
That's okay, you have to put this number.

893
01:11:26,530 --> 01:11:27,690
Designation of the Pro-Mare.

894
01:11:45,790 --> 01:11:47,730
I don't even understand what's going on.

895
01:11:47,950 --> 01:11:53,170
Each year we have to make a motion to nominate someone to be the pro-mayor in the Mayor's

896
01:11:53,170 --> 01:11:53,450
absence.

897
01:11:54,310 --> 01:11:55,970
They act as mayor as I'm doing tonight.

898
01:11:58,190 --> 01:12:03,010
But you also have to attend meetings if the Mayor is not available.

899
01:12:03,150 --> 01:12:03,630
You have to.

900
01:12:03,790 --> 01:12:04,470
Get mercy meetings.

901
01:12:04,810 --> 01:12:04,990
Yeah.

902
01:12:05,230 --> 01:12:06,770
Place wreaths.

903
01:12:06,770 --> 01:12:07,630
Make speeches.

904
01:12:08,310 --> 01:12:10,490
But I thought that was done when you...

905
01:12:10,490 --> 01:12:16,510
When the elections are on, I thought they would decide if you needed an actor.

906
01:12:17,650 --> 01:12:18,570
I think you can...

907
01:12:18,570 --> 01:12:19,830
It's every day's the mayor.

908
01:12:19,990 --> 01:12:23,290
I think you can adopt your own practice for that to do it annually.

909
01:12:23,750 --> 01:12:27,530
Sometimes they wanted to move it around, give everyone experience at the job.

910
01:12:29,110 --> 01:12:30,770
Or is it a mandate?

911
01:12:31,510 --> 01:12:32,150
I'm not sure.

912
01:12:32,490 --> 01:12:33,830
I know we have to do it yearly.

913
01:12:34,630 --> 01:12:37,050
That might just be because you guys only ever did it yearly.

914
01:12:39,030 --> 01:12:45,890
When I was mayor, we had the option to pick one for the term, and I remember discussing

915
01:12:45,890 --> 01:12:48,470
that we'd do it every year in case someone else wanted to kick it again.

916
01:12:49,190 --> 01:12:52,970
So is this like somebody's the mayor and somebody's the mayor in public?

917
01:12:53,610 --> 01:12:53,970
No.

918
01:13:07,410 --> 01:13:12,490
The mayor is in Alberta, so I'm filling it.

919
01:13:15,490 --> 01:13:16,930
You can leave it till December.

920
01:13:16,930 --> 01:13:17,970
If you don't have a volunteer,

921
01:13:21,550 --> 01:13:23,090
you're up for nominations.

922
01:13:24,250 --> 01:13:27,610
Anybody wants to make a motion to designate?

923
01:13:29,930 --> 01:13:31,110
I'll pretend to be there.

924
01:13:31,310 --> 01:13:31,490
No.

925
01:13:31,690 --> 01:13:33,990
So you can vote.

926
01:13:34,470 --> 01:13:36,690
So you can vote on the traffic.

927
01:13:36,750 --> 01:13:38,690
So you can vote on that.

928
01:13:39,170 --> 01:13:39,230
Right?

929
01:13:40,090 --> 01:13:42,650
Well, the conflict of interest because I live there.

930
01:13:43,290 --> 01:13:47,030
And screw you with me.

931
01:13:49,850 --> 01:13:50,890
Leave it.

932
01:13:51,010 --> 01:13:53,270
Doris can appoint it as well if no one wants to.

933
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:10,120
I don't want to nominate myself sitting here now.

934
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:40,380
Item number are Christmas appreciation dinner, motion for council and staff to attend the

935
01:14:40,380 --> 01:14:44,660
Christmas Appreciation Dinner on December the 6th, is that not a meeting?

936
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:47,140
No, that's a second hand.

937
01:14:47,900 --> 01:14:48,940
That's a second hand.

938
01:14:50,060 --> 01:14:54,230
Then we need a head kill.

939
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:05,720
So, the invitation went out to everybody. We've got the place and the date and the time and

940
01:15:07,700 --> 01:15:09,100
have to show proof of ID.

941
01:15:15,690 --> 01:15:16,510
We'll make a motion.

942
01:15:28,020 --> 01:15:30,400
Is that just information only? No, we need a motion.

943
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:32,740
We need a motion because you'll be spending the money to pay for it.

944
01:15:35,530 --> 01:15:42,650
The RSVP says November 25th. You guys can get back to me or message Jeff Palin and Jeff.

945
01:15:46,850 --> 01:15:51,390
No, I don't believe so. I think it's just catered. If I hear anything I'll let you know I'm good.

946
01:15:52,230 --> 01:15:53,010
You have a cost?

947
01:15:55,550 --> 01:15:58,190
No, once she figures it all out I think she'd give you something like that.

948
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:08,480
I need a motion.

949
01:16:08,860 --> 01:16:11,840
I don't like the motion just formality and way to do it every year or something.

950
01:16:14,900 --> 01:16:20,840
But there might be a way to think about doing something else, right?

951
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:25,220
I mean we're not going to do it this year but moving forward.

952
01:16:25,220 --> 01:16:29,060
We're talking about that every year like that, well because it's expensive. I know

953
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:37,880
Obviously they're having it so more and more fire fighters, and it's not that they don't we don't appreciate them, but it's

954
01:16:39,500 --> 01:16:40,260
It's a change

955
01:16:43,870 --> 01:16:47,430
Anyways, why did what is the cost thing is that we don't know

956
01:16:47,430 --> 01:16:50,470
I think it was based on how many people go

957
01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:56,900
There's a motion on the table

958
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:20,640
I think they should come to the decision whether or not they're going to do it every year and

959
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:26,120
just do it because one council decided they weren't going to do it, one council not showing

960
01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:36,920
appreciation for you know yeah and one thing you could think about maybe is by

961
01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:40,820
the population like pay a percentage like we do with the fire department instead of

962
01:17:40,820 --> 01:17:44,440
paying an equal share I mean

963
01:17:46,710 --> 01:17:50,930
population of some municipalities might be 1400

964
01:17:50,930 --> 01:17:56,490
100 where ours is 400 and we're paying an equal share or we're paying I don't

965
01:17:56,490 --> 01:18:01,250
know the breakdown yeah but other units about it already paying three times as

966
01:18:01,250 --> 01:18:06,530
much anyway because they've got more people paying yeah yeah they're already

967
01:18:06,530 --> 01:18:11,670
paying three times much yeah so that probably balances out pretty close

968
01:18:14,420 --> 01:18:17,680
Any help? John made the motion? All in favor?

969
01:18:18,140 --> 01:18:18,360
Yes.

970
01:18:22,220 --> 01:18:22,520
Lawrence?

971
01:18:23,380 --> 01:18:23,680
Yes.

972
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:24,880
Okay.

973
01:18:25,420 --> 01:18:26,640
I don't say no, it's yes.

974
01:18:34,480 --> 01:18:38,800
Pontiac Journal of Christmas ad. Motion to participate in Christmas ad.

975
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:41,620
The journals cost $81 in color.

976
01:18:43,060 --> 01:18:49,180
But we're over budget as far as publications.

977
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:53,180
So I say we don't, we don't do it.

978
01:19:01,460 --> 01:19:04,000
That require no motion or a motion to not accept?

979
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:05,860
You'd have to do the motion and then vote.

980
01:19:06,780 --> 01:19:06,980
Oh.

981
01:19:07,440 --> 01:19:07,600
Yeah.

982
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:10,180
Motion to do it and then vote?

983
01:19:10,480 --> 01:19:10,560
Yep.

984
01:19:10,700 --> 01:19:10,900
Okay.

985
01:19:11,900 --> 01:19:12,700
Anybody want to have an example?

986
01:19:12,700 --> 01:19:14,600
You can do it or not do it.

987
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:16,480
Yeah, or the motion either way.

988
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:18,400
As long as you all agree.

989
01:19:18,500 --> 01:19:21,060
I make the motion that we not participate in the

990
01:19:21,060 --> 01:19:21,880
in the Christmas act.

991
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:22,200
Okay.

992
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:26,800
Based on the fact that we're voting.

993
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:29,560
Based on the fact that we're voting.

994
01:19:29,560 --> 01:19:29,940
budget.

995
01:19:32,020 --> 01:19:34,680
The reason for that is explaining

996
01:19:37,140 --> 01:19:41,020
this afternoon when you've got new things

997
01:19:41,020 --> 01:19:44,260
that you don't normally have and you have to make a publication because they're

998
01:19:44,260 --> 01:19:50,400
hiring a student or hiring a new. And I think that with our mail chip our staff

999
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:55,760
wishes everybody Merry Christmas anyways. It was the sale of the

1000
01:19:55,760 --> 01:20:00,220
tracks in Treler too because we had to post it again. It's also how long your

1001
01:20:00,220 --> 01:20:07,000
public notices when you have to do French and English, you know, there's information you have to put in it and it's expensive.

1002
01:20:07,700 --> 01:20:08,960
Like some ads are $500.

1003
01:20:09,100 --> 01:20:10,940
I think it could be used in better ways.

1004
01:20:11,380 --> 01:20:12,980
Well, keep it in mind in budget time.

1005
01:20:13,060 --> 01:20:13,620
Or something.

1006
01:20:14,220 --> 01:20:16,160
Raise it a bit because the cost of everything is going up.

1007
01:20:16,340 --> 01:20:16,580
Yeah.

1008
01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:20,680
Get to the point where we can't afford to publish what we want publishing.

1009
01:20:26,020 --> 01:20:28,340
So Karen made a motion to not all those in favor?

1010
01:20:28,740 --> 01:20:28,860
Yeah.

1011
01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:31,240
Under the circumstances, yeah.

1012
01:20:31,420 --> 01:20:31,640
Fast.

1013
01:20:35,710 --> 01:20:37,150
Reliance Recycling Contract,

1014
01:20:39,980 --> 01:20:49,300
the current recycling contract with Lavellas, but this is the last year?

1015
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:55,820
Yeah, so every second contract goes till 2026, we normally sign it for three years every time,

1016
01:20:56,080 --> 01:21:01,180
but because the MRC is going to be taking over the competency for all our recycling,

1017
01:21:01,480 --> 01:21:03,580
but they're only taking over in 2026.

1018
01:21:03,580 --> 01:21:07,460
So we need to break our contract with them and just sign a one-year

1019
01:21:11,020 --> 01:21:16,520
Yeah, I have the new contract and everything they've actually lowered their thoughts. No, it's breaking

1020
01:21:17,060 --> 01:21:20,980
So we were supposed to going into next year. We were supposed to be increased by seven percent

1021
01:21:20,980 --> 01:21:28,140
But now because they're competing with McGermann they kept it at five percent. So we're at the same as this year

1022
01:21:34,030 --> 01:21:35,990
Dick makes the motion all in favor

1023
01:21:35,990 --> 01:21:36,650
Yes.

1024
01:21:37,830 --> 01:21:38,350
Fast.

1025
01:21:46,630 --> 01:21:48,350
The sanding contract, motion.

1026
01:21:48,590 --> 01:21:48,770
One more.

1027
01:21:49,170 --> 01:21:49,450
No.

1028
01:21:49,990 --> 01:21:50,530
This one?

1029
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:53,340
Nope.

1030
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:56,480
Item U.

1031
01:21:56,980 --> 01:21:59,220
Motion to accept the EEQ contract.

1032
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:06,840
So that contract is the big contract that the MRC is putting together right now to be in charge of all of our recycling for 2026.

1033
01:22:09,870 --> 01:22:10,590
In charge of what?

1034
01:22:10,750 --> 01:22:11,770
All of our recycling.

1035
01:22:12,190 --> 01:22:12,910
All of our recycling.

1036
01:22:13,190 --> 01:22:13,390
Yeah.

1037
01:22:13,410 --> 01:22:14,350
They're taking over the MRC.

1038
01:22:14,350 --> 01:22:15,790
They're completely going to take over, yeah.

1039
01:22:16,650 --> 01:22:19,070
And any idea what the cost is for the beef?

1040
01:22:19,510 --> 01:22:19,570
No.

1041
01:22:19,810 --> 01:22:21,790
So this is to be able to allow them to go to tender.

1042
01:22:22,990 --> 01:22:24,350
OK, I'll make that more significant.

1043
01:22:25,750 --> 01:22:26,970
It's all 18 minutes.

1044
01:22:27,270 --> 01:22:27,670
What's that going to look like?

1045
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:31,360
They're not 100% sure yet.

1046
01:22:31,940 --> 01:22:35,100
They're hoping how it's going to go is that everything is taken care

1047
01:22:35,100 --> 01:22:36,840
of by the MRT and then we're just built.

1048
01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:40,160
They're trying to figure out how it's going to work

1049
01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:43,200
because we get money back for our recycling, how they're going

1050
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:43,800
to break that link.

1051
01:22:43,980 --> 01:22:46,100
So all of that still, they were technically supposed

1052
01:22:46,100 --> 01:22:50,940
to have it ready for 2025 and they're behind, so they push it back in every year.

1053
01:22:51,540 --> 01:22:56,560
Yeah, but as the year goes on in 2025, we'll get all the new ones.

1054
01:22:58,510 --> 01:23:01,150
Don't expect it to be in the future.

1055
01:23:01,990 --> 01:23:02,170
No?

1056
01:23:02,590 --> 01:23:03,510
Of course not.

1057
01:23:05,110 --> 01:23:10,930
Consider the MRC couldn't mark that, so in this regard, let's see, first in.

1058
01:23:12,870 --> 01:23:14,710
We basically don't have a choice.

1059
01:23:17,170 --> 01:23:20,130
They should have technically been taking care of our recycling this whole time.

1060
01:23:20,410 --> 01:23:23,750
It is a competency that the MRC is just like our garbage.

1061
01:23:23,970 --> 01:23:28,670
They're in charge of our garbage contract and we pay it, but it should have always been for recycling.

1062
01:23:29,010 --> 01:23:31,990
One of the things they want to do is they want a house-to-house collection.

1063
01:23:34,810 --> 01:23:37,670
I'm not sure how that's going to be any cheaper.

1064
01:23:37,850 --> 01:23:41,790
It's going to be way more expensive, I know it already, but they just have this genuine

1065
01:23:41,790 --> 01:23:47,090
and Nina was currently in charge of a lot of this.

1066
01:23:47,190 --> 01:23:50,390
They just set this vision that everyone should be the same.

1067
01:23:51,070 --> 01:23:52,810
Everyone should get both compost

1068
01:23:53,390 --> 01:23:56,430
and a recycle picked up at the door.

1069
01:23:57,110 --> 01:23:58,430
Doesn't matter where you live.

1070
01:23:59,130 --> 01:24:00,950
Wouldn't be there full time or part time.

1071
01:24:01,150 --> 01:24:02,550
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the law

1072
01:24:02,550 --> 01:24:05,030
is making them pick up organic matter at your door.

1073
01:24:05,690 --> 01:24:06,350
Is that correct, Senator?

1074
01:24:08,550 --> 01:24:17,390
Well, they pushed it back to 26. The province initially said 25. The province has a mandate

1075
01:24:17,390 --> 01:24:23,070
to try to produce everything in province and recycle everything in province. They call

1076
01:24:23,070 --> 01:24:27,670
it a cradle to grave approach when it comes to provincial waste. They're also not opening

1077
01:24:27,670 --> 01:24:32,490
any more, they've said they're not opening any more landfills. So when the LaShin landfill

1078
01:24:32,490 --> 01:24:38,550
is full. There won't be anywhere, at least according to the current plan, for the

1079
01:24:38,550 --> 01:24:44,570
waste to go. So they're pushing for all organic waste to be picked up door-to-

1080
01:24:44,570 --> 01:24:51,650
door, province-wide, by 2026. Which is incredibly expensive in an area like

1081
01:24:51,650 --> 01:24:55,510
this. Really quite silly, right? It's all foolish.

1082
01:24:57,890 --> 01:24:58,930
And that's, you know, just get

1083
01:24:58,930 --> 01:25:06,710
The impact of this business we've been fighting with the waste committee is that that's one

1084
01:25:06,710 --> 01:25:10,970
of the things we've been saying, what do you say, you know, again for this, you know, first

1085
01:25:10,970 --> 01:25:14,330
of all, we all have, there are a lot of us in areas like this, we have transfer sites

1086
01:25:14,330 --> 01:25:19,670
that are reasonably well run, people are used to bringing their, you know, their compost,

1087
01:25:20,490 --> 01:25:27,190
the recycling to that, that location and why not pick it up there, you know, it's

1088
01:25:27,190 --> 01:25:33,210
just a one-stop thing as opposed to incurring huge expenses.

1089
01:25:33,390 --> 01:25:35,190
And I think in Water Lake or something like that,

1090
01:25:35,310 --> 01:25:38,930
they figured it would be like an extra $100,000 a year

1091
01:25:38,930 --> 01:25:43,110
or something ridiculous to do the door-to-door stuff

1092
01:25:43,110 --> 01:25:44,930
in the rural areas.

1093
01:25:46,770 --> 01:25:48,930
Well, Ashley, do we have a choice

1094
01:25:48,930 --> 01:25:51,930
that we can have the municipality know

1095
01:25:51,930 --> 01:25:53,150
we don't want you to do that?

1096
01:25:53,450 --> 01:25:55,630
At this point, this is just to allow.

1097
01:25:55,630 --> 01:26:00,370
this contract is just to allow them to do a recycling that you don't really have

1098
01:26:00,370 --> 01:26:04,170
a choice I mean they're not there yet they're not there yet yeah there's time

1099
01:26:04,170 --> 01:26:07,310
to there's time to yeah I think more will come out and there'll be more

1100
01:26:07,310 --> 01:26:11,050
discussions or municipalities about it the idea would be that it wouldn't be

1101
01:26:11,050 --> 01:26:14,570
the municipality themselves buying a truck to do that it would be two trucks

1102
01:26:14,570 --> 01:26:17,270
that they would buy at the MRC that would serve all of us

1103
01:26:19,410 --> 01:26:22,470
It's just kind of how they explained it, but it's still again in planning.

1104
01:26:34,930 --> 01:26:36,050
Dick makes the motion.

1105
01:26:36,510 --> 01:26:37,230
It's all in favor?

1106
01:26:37,870 --> 01:26:38,130
Yes.

1107
01:26:39,370 --> 01:26:39,650
Fast.

1108
01:26:47,810 --> 01:26:53,850
The sanding contract, the motion to hire Roy Pirro again, he's agreed to do it for

1109
01:26:53,850 --> 01:26:55,130
the same price as last year.

1110
01:26:58,790 --> 01:27:01,850
It includes the transfer site, the parking lot here, the driveway out,

1111
01:27:06,610 --> 01:27:06,990
it's Rick.

1112
01:27:09,630 --> 01:27:10,630
And what's that contract?

1113
01:27:11,290 --> 01:27:12,010
$1,700.

1114
01:27:12,010 --> 01:27:13,630
$100 plus tax.

1115
01:27:22,070 --> 01:27:22,830
Call those in favor?

1116
01:27:31,660 --> 01:27:35,900
Council meeting dates, motion to approve the dates picked for 2025.

1117
01:27:36,740 --> 01:27:37,600
That's presented.

1118
01:27:51,380 --> 01:27:53,480
If not, you have to go with the French one.

1119
01:27:54,420 --> 01:27:55,920
French meeting is the day before.

1120
01:27:56,800 --> 01:27:59,720
The only ones you cannot change is October and November, just because of the

1121
01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:00,820
elections and the way it went.

1122
01:28:06,740 --> 01:28:09,740
Sit in with the whole hall. You did a good job on that, didn't you?

1123
01:28:10,140 --> 01:28:10,620
Yeah, okay.

1124
01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:14,300
Do you need a motion?

1125
01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:14,920
Yes.

1126
01:28:15,100 --> 01:28:16,280
I'll make that motion.

1127
01:28:17,060 --> 01:28:19,140
We accept the council meeting dates.

1128
01:28:21,670 --> 01:28:23,470
Karen makes the motion. All in favor?

1129
01:28:23,810 --> 01:28:23,990
Yeah.

1130
01:28:24,470 --> 01:28:24,530
Yeah.

1131
01:28:24,810 --> 01:28:25,210
Fast.

1132
01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:32,640
Number eight is committees.

1133
01:28:38,250 --> 01:28:40,410
A Interminational Committee Meeting Report.

1134
01:28:41,850 --> 01:28:46,990
I wasn't unable to attend due to

1135
01:28:48,530 --> 01:28:55,230
family matters but Ashley was there I'll let her explain. Yeah so it was the same

1136
01:28:55,230 --> 01:29:00,850
conversation just sharing resources and what everybody thought about it. This

1137
01:29:00,850 --> 01:29:05,770
meeting included Wolfman so they were there for a while they left and now

1138
01:29:05,770 --> 01:29:11,530
they're back at the table discussing things. Cory did a little presentation I

1139
01:29:11,530 --> 01:29:15,690
think I sent it to everyone in the emails. He wants to have the mamash

1140
01:29:15,690 --> 01:29:20,890
involved in helping us, if we do decide to share resources, to show us step-by-step how it would work.

1141
01:29:22,650 --> 01:29:30,710
They are looking now that, you guys kind of had a couple meetings, they want to make sure the council's fully involved

1142
01:29:30,710 --> 01:29:36,310
and interested in actually sharing. So they want a motion that the Council of the Municipality of Schembroke

1143
01:29:36,310 --> 01:29:40,830
supports the continued discussions and exploration of service sharing options with the other three

1144
01:29:40,830 --> 01:29:44,930
in neighboring municipalities, and that the Council of Municipalities Schembroke identifies

1145
01:29:44,930 --> 01:29:50,670
the priorities for potential service sharing, especially in the areas of, so they're asking

1146
01:29:50,670 --> 01:29:55,810
each council if they would like to precisely say things they're interested in sharing.

1147
01:29:56,910 --> 01:29:59,610
So Doris is suggesting was she was really

1148
01:29:59,610 --> 01:29:59,970
a

1149
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:06,960
Wanting to share public works, is one of the ones she brought up, administration, and the

1150
01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:10,680
Pathway Mine and Heritage Building Committee. We are required to have a

1151
01:30:10,680 --> 01:30:16,680
committee on each council right now for heritage buildings and demolition and how

1152
01:30:16,680 --> 01:30:21,100
that's all going to go. She would like to have one council committee, sorry, for all

1153
01:30:21,100 --> 01:30:26,860
four instead of having one for each municipality. Myself, I think public works

1154
01:30:26,860 --> 01:30:30,000
Again, it's a big one that we could definitely share.

1155
01:30:30,740 --> 01:30:32,360
For me, accounting would have been great.

1156
01:30:32,900 --> 01:30:34,660
And I believe for equipment purchases,

1157
01:30:35,500 --> 01:30:37,800
big expenditures, we could definitely share

1158
01:30:38,270 --> 01:30:39,280
and make it worth our money.

1159
01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:42,080
We had finally resolved that council supports

1160
01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:43,820
establishing any necessary framework

1161
01:30:44,170 --> 01:30:46,340
on consultations with any related ministries

1162
01:30:46,770 --> 01:30:48,540
to ensure a structured and productive approach

1163
01:30:48,540 --> 01:30:50,400
to these discussions and future collaboration.

1164
01:30:50,700 --> 01:30:52,700
However, any future commitment to sharing of services

1165
01:30:52,700 --> 01:30:54,540
of any kind must be approved

1166
01:30:54,540 --> 01:30:56,320
about each municipal council as discussed.

1167
01:30:57,000 --> 01:30:58,760
Alicia just wanted to make sure that this isn't

1168
01:30:58,760 --> 01:31:00,180
that you're agreeing to recommend specific,

1169
01:31:00,700 --> 01:31:02,200
just that you really are on board.

1170
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:06,160
And they just wanted to hear council's thoughts

1171
01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:07,580
if there was certain things.

1172
01:31:11,480 --> 01:31:12,980
Second one, sorry.

1173
01:31:13,180 --> 01:31:16,100
Public works, on your agenda.

1174
01:31:16,300 --> 01:31:16,440
On your agenda.

1175
01:31:16,980 --> 01:31:18,100
Third is different than yours.

1176
01:31:18,240 --> 01:31:18,500
Is it?

1177
01:31:19,120 --> 01:31:19,380
Sorry.

1178
01:31:20,340 --> 01:31:22,560
And then for me, I said public works, accounting

1179
01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:23,640
and equipment purchases.

1180
01:31:25,140 --> 01:31:27,980
I wanted to add dump to that for transfer sites.

1181
01:31:30,980 --> 01:31:34,800
I was going back to Dick saying that we have no choice but to get in on the MRC thing.

1182
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:38,480
We could look at being independent from that and finding out what our cost would be

1183
01:31:38,480 --> 01:31:41,860
if you can sell items from the dump and turn it into a money maker.

1184
01:31:42,820 --> 01:31:46,720
And then if there is a truck that has to go around and pick on everything up,

1185
01:31:46,820 --> 01:31:49,820
there would only be one stop for that truck to make and not two.

1186
01:31:56,340 --> 01:32:05,500
We initiated a survey for best practices at all the transfer sites, and the MRC has just more or less varied it.

1187
01:32:05,660 --> 01:32:05,960
Oh yeah?

1188
01:32:07,340 --> 01:32:08,320
It's disappeared.

1189
01:32:10,380 --> 01:32:14,180
Another big one that was on the table for discussion was grants.

1190
01:32:15,580 --> 01:32:17,860
But with that not the other administration?

1191
01:32:19,120 --> 01:32:21,300
Yeah, but they were speaking specifically.

1192
01:32:21,540 --> 01:32:24,220
Because in Chapel they have Chantaleur who does community development.

1193
01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:28,160
But she does a lot of grants, like she's just always looking for grants.

1194
01:32:29,600 --> 01:32:31,260
It's a time consuming thing.

1195
01:32:32,600 --> 01:32:36,140
And I mean if you're doing it for one, why not do it for four, right?

1196
01:32:36,400 --> 01:32:39,060
Exactly. So she finds a grant that we can all use.

1197
01:32:39,300 --> 01:32:42,440
And she's doing the application, I'm using her as an example.

1198
01:32:42,440 --> 01:32:45,560
doing the application four times.

1199
01:32:45,820 --> 01:32:46,820
That's Grant's office?

1200
01:32:48,500 --> 01:32:50,100
Grant's would be yeah, you know.

1201
01:32:50,660 --> 01:32:51,060
Yeah, exactly.

1202
01:32:53,100 --> 01:32:54,360
What's the use of a court?

1203
01:32:55,880 --> 01:32:58,340
The MRC is still pushing for a municipal court.

1204
01:32:59,020 --> 01:33:00,040
We haven't heard anything of it.

1205
01:33:01,280 --> 01:33:01,960
What does that involve?

1206
01:33:03,080 --> 01:33:04,480
Instead of a provincial court.

1207
01:33:05,160 --> 01:33:07,660
It's like when you get a fine for a bylaw fine.

1208
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:10,060
Right now there's nobody to enforce it.

1209
01:33:19,500 --> 01:33:24,600
I had an interesting conversation yesterday with Ken Doyle's daughter, Hannah Doyle.

1210
01:33:24,700 --> 01:33:29,200
She works for the federal government in dispersing funding and stuff like that.

1211
01:33:29,820 --> 01:33:36,820
And even the federal government is really interested in sharing, communities sharing

1212
01:33:36,820 --> 01:33:44,060
and municipality sharing and if you're sharing something you're if you if there

1213
01:33:44,060 --> 01:33:49,580
was a grant for to do something for one municipality if two benefit they're to

1214
01:33:49,580 --> 01:33:54,780
got together on it the funding goes up by 10% and could be as high as 90% of

1215
01:33:54,780 --> 01:33:59,260
the cost. There's also a lot of grants that you point to criteria when you apply

1216
01:33:59,260 --> 01:34:03,560
for your grants and if you are sharing with the neighboring municipality you

1217
01:34:03,560 --> 01:34:10,460
get extra points. So she gave some documentation and a website to Doris

1218
01:34:12,060 --> 01:34:16,260
and instructed Doris to give it to Ashley. Ashley hasn't received it yet,

1219
01:34:16,480 --> 01:34:21,300
but on the website it'll have further explanations of what she can do. She's

1220
01:34:21,300 --> 01:34:28,180
worked with Chai Chester in the past. I think it was the project paving the

1221
01:34:28,180 --> 01:34:31,940
road to Nicobar, I'm not sure, but a project that has gone through, she was

1222
01:34:31,940 --> 01:34:36,300
involved and she said at work when she brings up Pontiac like Sheenbrough and

1223
01:34:36,300 --> 01:34:39,940
Chai Chester like she knows the federal government knows where we are and who we

1224
01:34:39,940 --> 01:34:47,600
are and she'd be willing to come in and speak with us and help us to apply same

1225
01:34:49,940 --> 01:34:59,160
as Jim Jennings his daughter was her job with the Biodomarket to apply for

1226
01:34:59,160 --> 01:35:03,440
grants and she's offered to help us too so maybe one of them would be

1227
01:35:03,440 --> 01:35:09,300
interested in the position through municipal cooperation to take on the

1228
01:35:09,300 --> 01:35:18,780
so you need a motion stating that we're interested in continuing these talks yeah

1229
01:35:18,780 --> 01:35:24,040
and if at all possible three things that you would know as a council but you're

1230
01:35:24,040 --> 01:35:30,160
definitely interested in you're kind of just trying to get a feel so there

1231
01:35:30,160 --> 01:35:34,880
was public works, the heritage community, county and administration, transfer sites,

1232
01:35:36,060 --> 01:35:38,380
equipment purchases, and grids.

1233
01:35:38,840 --> 01:35:42,260
Equipment purchases was just what my list would be.

1234
01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:47,800
Public works and accounting would be the ones I would suggest we're putting down through.

1235
01:35:49,540 --> 01:35:51,040
So they just want three.

1236
01:35:52,340 --> 01:35:56,160
Yeah, I think they're just trying to narrow down to the...

1237
01:35:56,160 --> 01:35:59,380
This isn't set in stone, this doesn't mean these are doing anything.

1238
01:36:00,380 --> 01:36:02,980
I think part of this is grants.

1239
01:36:07,140 --> 01:36:08,480
Grants are very time consuming.

1240
01:36:10,900 --> 01:36:11,380
There

1241
01:36:20,180 --> 01:36:24,680
were some comments made at the meeting where it looks like the little municipality

1242
01:36:24,680 --> 01:36:29,020
in trouble is asking for help from the big municipality, but then it was counteracted

1243
01:36:29,520 --> 01:36:32,720
with, well you're a building inspector, just quit and you need one.

1244
01:36:32,720 --> 01:36:37,600
when we needed one yours was too busy to help but now you need one would you like

1245
01:36:37,600 --> 01:36:43,160
ours to us ours to help you you know so you can't go by what's going on today

1246
01:36:43,160 --> 01:36:47,160
you got to think of what could happen and how you need someone's help and if we

1247
01:36:47,160 --> 01:36:52,180
were sharing easier so motion

1248
01:37:11,740 --> 01:37:15,510
the grants and to think about it

1249
01:37:18,260 --> 01:37:24,220
but you know but that could change like you said

1250
01:37:24,220 --> 01:37:32,100
right depending on the situation that we're in. Like why do we have to state

1251
01:37:32,100 --> 01:37:38,080
that even? I think it was just to give her an idea of where to start like she

1252
01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:41,940
wanted to get an idea from all four municipalities to see like what we all

1253
01:37:41,940 --> 01:37:46,800
four are interested in if there's one common denominator in the four I think

1254
01:37:47,600 --> 01:37:51,100
Walton didn't come up with any when I talked to my next she said that they just

1255
01:37:51,100 --> 01:37:55,040
went with the motion and didn't say anything but her counsel she said was

1256
01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:56,480
very divided still

1257
01:37:59,270 --> 01:38:04,650
the everybody's got that in fear of amalgamation but it's

1258
01:38:04,650 --> 01:38:10,990
not it's not the sharing of tax bases or expenses or anything it's just

1259
01:38:11,730 --> 01:38:16,770
It makes sense. I've always thought that it makes sense to share things that make sense.

1260
01:38:16,970 --> 01:38:21,910
Yes. Some things don't. Some things do. It's pretty obvious that every council gets involved

1261
01:38:21,910 --> 01:38:24,610
but nothing will participate or not, then everybody's covered.

1262
01:38:25,010 --> 01:38:28,490
But I find you have to have the mindset going in that you want to find stuff.

1263
01:38:29,470 --> 01:38:33,590
Like with the sweeper, it was like, oh, we need our sweeper, I should help with stuff like that.

1264
01:38:33,850 --> 01:38:38,590
I'm like, no, no, let's give it a try. For one year, share the cost of a sweeper

1265
01:38:38,590 --> 01:38:40,210
see if we can get the work done.

1266
01:38:43,330 --> 01:38:47,590
So deck made motion, all in favor? Yes.

1267
01:38:50,390 --> 01:38:53,810
So do we want to do the equipment purchase, grants?

1268
01:38:59,900 --> 01:39:01,340
Because that's where we are right now.

1269
01:39:03,120 --> 01:39:07,420
In that kind of need. That could change down the road.

1270
01:39:09,480 --> 01:39:11,960
Public works too? You can put forward?

1271
01:39:14,880 --> 01:39:17,320
Because they're looking for a building inspector, so.

1272
01:39:22,650 --> 01:39:24,590
Okay, number nine,

1273
01:39:27,080 --> 01:39:28,940
item eight, Trout Lake Road.

1274
01:39:31,700 --> 01:39:35,220
Did everyone receive a letter from the lawyer?

1275
01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:39,460
Well, not from the lawyer, but from the lawyer.

1276
01:39:39,460 --> 01:39:41,900
The information Ashley received from the lawyer.

1277
01:39:45,330 --> 01:39:47,990
I felt like most of the information was things we already knew.

1278
01:39:47,990 --> 01:39:49,050
does

1279
01:39:53,750 --> 01:40:01,620
anybody got like a different interpretation of how this is worded like

1280
01:40:01,620 --> 01:40:06,240
the part that I get then was mentioned lots of times before if the road had

1281
01:40:06,240 --> 01:40:11,640
always been and was being maintained in 93 by the municipality but it doesn't

1282
01:40:11,640 --> 01:40:13,080
become an antique you know

1283
01:40:25,140 --> 01:40:31,100
Technically, all these years we did need permission from the MRNF to do any work on their road.

1284
01:40:31,720 --> 01:40:32,820
From the MTQ, you mean?

1285
01:40:33,240 --> 01:40:39,020
Either. We need permission from the MRNF or the MTQ, whichever section you're attaching, really.

1286
01:40:39,420 --> 01:40:42,320
Because they didn't really own the MTQ, they owned it in the process.

1287
01:40:43,020 --> 01:40:48,340
Yeah, so whatever the other governing body would be, you technically have to.

1288
01:40:48,340 --> 01:40:53,560
I have put in a request for an access to information directly to the MTQ.

1289
01:40:54,780 --> 01:40:59,900
What's bothering me the most about the situation is that I can't find the paper that lists

1290
01:41:00,660 --> 01:41:04,980
what our colonization roads were before 93 and what they were after.

1291
01:41:06,180 --> 01:41:09,560
I feel like that's a pretty big part of the puzzle.

1292
01:41:10,580 --> 01:41:15,120
Another thing, I wanted to have a list of the roads under municipal jurisdiction.

1293
01:41:16,440 --> 01:41:21,240
So, I do have a list of the roads registered with the province, which took on a week in

1294
01:41:21,240 --> 01:41:25,080
back, but that's not the entire list of what we're responsible for.

1295
01:41:26,240 --> 01:41:31,600
So, I made that request a week and a half ago, having heard anything back, so I'm still

1296
01:41:31,600 --> 01:41:31,960
waiting.

1297
01:41:36,880 --> 01:41:42,180
Can I suggest that you, with the access to information that you asked them for the

1298
01:41:42,180 --> 01:41:52,020
contract that the MTQ had with Sid Hodges from the Italian island in 98, 89 and 90 to grade

1299
01:41:52,020 --> 01:41:54,500
the roads in chamber when they were all MTQ roads.

1300
01:41:57,640 --> 01:42:00,440
The contract they had with Sid Hodges

1301
01:42:00,440 --> 01:42:05,440
to grade the roads in the municipality. What is it for? What does it get you to get it?

1302
01:42:06,100 --> 01:42:10,600
Because you know you've maintained the road. So you already know as a council you have

1303
01:42:10,600 --> 01:42:14,980
maintain that road past 93 so that's how those other portions come back. No but

1304
01:42:14,980 --> 01:42:20,340
before like all the roads in Sheen were MTQ when Sid Hodgins had the contract he

1305
01:42:20,340 --> 01:42:24,240
was working I was grading Fort William Road and Sheen Road and Downey Road all

1306
01:42:24,820 --> 01:42:30,200
for the MTQ and they turned those roads over to the municipality after that so

1307
01:42:30,200 --> 01:42:35,160
we we had the snow plow contract but they had a great MTQ. So I'm wondering if

1308
01:42:35,160 --> 01:42:39,420
the contract would have a list of roads that Hodgins had to grade because

1309
01:42:39,420 --> 01:42:43,500
I don't remember going to Trout Lake with his grader.

1310
01:42:43,760 --> 01:42:45,120
Okay, and that's through the MTQ?

1311
01:42:45,360 --> 01:42:45,500
Yeah.

1312
01:42:47,800 --> 01:42:48,760
With your teacher?

1313
01:42:49,600 --> 01:42:51,420
Yeah, 88, 89, 90.

1314
01:42:52,120 --> 01:42:53,180
I was in the storage team,

1315
01:42:53,680 --> 01:42:54,860
drove the grader two summers,

1316
01:42:57,610 --> 01:42:57,870
whatever.

1317
01:42:58,630 --> 01:43:00,090
And he's just a part of the contractor?

1318
01:43:00,310 --> 01:43:00,410
Yeah.

1319
01:43:06,700 --> 01:43:07,500
Sydney Hodges.

1320
01:43:07,800 --> 01:43:10,100
But you said you did grader before?

1321
01:43:11,480 --> 01:43:13,680
I don't remember going in there with Hodges grader.

1322
01:43:13,880 --> 01:43:14,960
Hodges, but...

1323
01:43:14,960 --> 01:43:19,300
Well, I have it in there after that for the municipality of Fleming's Greater, yeah, yeah, all the time.

1324
01:43:21,880 --> 01:43:26,360
So, yeah, was maintained, always maintained by the municipality or?

1325
01:43:30,010 --> 01:43:34,730
It was. Well, yeah, the logging company did work in the years to where.

1326
01:43:35,350 --> 01:43:35,550
Yeah.

1327
01:43:36,070 --> 01:43:38,950
That was over and above the municipality in general maintenance here.

1328
01:43:40,630 --> 01:43:43,450
And what are the responsibilities of the NTQ?

1329
01:43:43,450 --> 01:43:49,490
you know to come to you in the last since 1993 and say hey why are you spending

1330
01:43:49,490 --> 01:43:53,950
money on this road it doesn't even belong to you that's our road how come they

1331
01:43:53,950 --> 01:44:00,810
never stepped in because if somebody if there's an accident let's say the

1332
01:44:00,810 --> 01:44:06,950
bridge is closed well you're not supposed to be passing on that bridge but if the

1333
01:44:06,950 --> 01:44:12,850
road is open and something happens, who's going to be reliable for that?

1334
01:44:14,590 --> 01:44:16,570
Well, we're trying to figure this out.

1335
01:44:16,970 --> 01:44:18,670
Yeah, that's a very good question.

1336
01:44:19,690 --> 01:44:24,470
Because they've got the documentation when the Middle East was

1337
01:44:24,470 --> 01:44:28,910
junior minister of transport, where they changed the colonization roads

1338
01:44:28,910 --> 01:44:33,290
over to MTQ or municipality, or if it wasn't maintained by anybody,

1339
01:44:33,290 --> 01:44:39,070
It became the property of the MTQ and the land of which it came off.

1340
01:44:40,370 --> 01:44:47,330
And that's a prime example is the Trichester line at the back of my front.

1341
01:44:49,210 --> 01:44:53,710
Municipality and the MTQ before that maintained bearing in line around the corner,

1342
01:44:53,890 --> 01:44:57,670
but where the Trichester line goes straight through was a colonization road.

1343
01:44:57,670 --> 01:44:59,870
And the municipality after that would never

1344
01:45:00,430 --> 01:45:07,150
Common bus to be damned for me because it was supposed to be mine, but now because it landlocked somebody if you look on the new

1345
01:45:07,150 --> 01:45:08,390
Cadastra, it's

1346
01:45:08,390 --> 01:45:10,190
registered to the province of Tibet

1347
01:45:10,970 --> 01:45:13,070
It's like 450 feet of roads

1348
01:45:16,730 --> 01:45:20,710
So it's to get a definite answer who won't who and we

1349
01:45:21,770 --> 01:45:25,590
Mentioned in the past that the to get this information cost us $650

1350
01:45:26,810 --> 01:45:29,090
but the lawyer told us before to have

1351
01:45:30,910 --> 01:45:36,780
notary do a land search on it did they give you a quote? We got the land

1352
01:45:36,780 --> 01:45:41,020
title search that was one of the first documents we had it's very confusing to

1353
01:45:41,020 --> 01:45:47,800
read it's the one that shows like range so yeah Simon and I took the time one

1354
01:45:47,800 --> 01:45:52,000
afternoon it went through and cross-reference go down in and our taxation

1355
01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:56,380
software and it ends up being all those little tiny portions that are ours so

1356
01:45:59,770 --> 01:46:04,030
that was mentioned here tonight to hang on to that so you have a

1357
01:46:04,030 --> 01:46:21,990
part of the road that we own is at the very end and in the province of Quebec they can't landlock you so when you're asking for permission from the MNRF to fix a washout along Trout Lake they can't say no because they're blocking their denying the access

1358
01:46:26,620 --> 01:46:27,860
It's illegal and probably not possible.

1359
01:46:27,860 --> 01:46:28,580
They shouldn't say no.

1360
01:46:29,620 --> 01:46:30,600
That doesn't mean they can't.

1361
01:46:30,700 --> 01:46:35,880
According to that, that would you have picked there before we voted on this number.

1362
01:46:36,120 --> 01:46:38,760
It stated that they will not maintain the road.

1363
01:46:39,640 --> 01:46:41,000
And that's our big concern.

1364
01:46:41,300 --> 01:46:44,900
Who owns the damn road really doesn't make any different law if someone is going to maintain it.

1365
01:46:45,280 --> 01:46:46,700
But they made it clear they won't.

1366
01:46:47,140 --> 01:46:47,580
Users.

1367
01:46:48,020 --> 01:46:48,640
User-maintained.

1368
01:46:50,060 --> 01:46:51,920
That goes back to your question earlier.

1369
01:46:53,460 --> 01:46:55,220
They never said they're going to close the road.

1370
01:46:55,220 --> 01:47:00,300
but like I told you last month the road will close itself in bad weather or trees

1371
01:47:00,300 --> 01:47:09,320
falling down or and they won't fix it because when they did the I forget what

1372
01:47:09,320 --> 01:47:25,200
Europe was there maybe that's where they did the mistakes there no it's not

1373
01:47:25,200 --> 01:47:29,900
Okay, if you take the selenium, they're all cadastridium?

1374
01:47:31,760 --> 01:47:35,420
And it's not like, can we turn the, not the part of,

1375
01:47:35,600 --> 01:47:36,560
not the part of them?

1376
01:47:37,460 --> 01:47:38,660
You mean the other lads?

1377
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:42,580
Yeah, no, there has to be other lads

1378
01:47:42,580 --> 01:47:44,380
that cadastridium has to be.

1379
01:47:44,400 --> 01:47:45,740
Some roads are cadastridium, some are not.

1380
01:47:46,240 --> 01:47:47,140
Well, okay.

1381
01:47:47,220 --> 01:47:49,040
And Mr. Raymond, we have to keep going here, please.

1382
01:47:49,200 --> 01:47:49,440
Oh, okay.

1383
01:47:49,500 --> 01:47:49,740
Sorry.

1384
01:47:51,300 --> 01:47:52,820
It's, there's lots down there yet.

1385
01:47:53,540 --> 01:47:56,680
So, anyhow, we'll keep gathering information.

1386
01:47:57,520 --> 01:48:00,480
We've got some requests out now, we're waiting for that to come back.

1387
01:48:01,560 --> 01:48:04,360
And if anybody else finds anything, please bring it to our attention.

1388
01:48:06,540 --> 01:48:12,320
They say, I was told by the MNRF that their surveyors are busy until the end of 25,

1389
01:48:12,660 --> 01:48:17,780
but if this happens in the next couple of months, well, it won't be good.

1390
01:48:17,780 --> 01:48:17,780
it.

1391
01:48:21,600 --> 01:48:24,320
So done.

1392
01:48:27,910 --> 01:48:36,830
PPA C grant motion fixed bump in Primbo Hill with the grant instead of original

1393
01:48:36,830 --> 01:48:39,370
request for gravel on Sullivan and ICO Road.

1394
01:48:45,520 --> 01:48:47,980
So they get that tender.

1395
01:48:52,180 --> 01:48:53,480
Ashley went ahead

1396
01:48:53,480 --> 01:48:59,480
and talked to a Milton Kidd, an imitational bid to come and have a look at the Prembo Hill.

1397
01:49:00,220 --> 01:49:05,360
And he's going to agree to do two transitions where those bad heaves are.

1398
01:49:08,040 --> 01:49:13,520
And there's still two weeks before Greenwood Paving shuts down their asphalt plant for the season.

1399
01:49:14,060 --> 01:49:19,060
And he says if we made a motion tonight to go ahead with this, that he could have it done before the asphalt plant closes.

1400
01:49:20,180 --> 01:49:26,480
I went and had a look at it this afternoon and I was talking to Milton later and we were

1401
01:49:26,480 --> 01:49:35,320
in agreement beyond this in order to fix the transition towards the bottom of the hill,

1402
01:49:35,520 --> 01:49:37,380
just below Janet Reddy's driveway.

1403
01:49:38,060 --> 01:49:42,080
The ditches would have to be clean and she has about a 12-inch culvert that's nearly

1404
01:49:42,080 --> 01:49:47,420
full that gets blocked solid right from in there and I would suggest that we change

1405
01:49:47,420 --> 01:49:52,420
that now I'm stepping down as mayor to road committee chairman it changed that to a

1406
01:49:52,420 --> 01:50:00,280
six maybe an 18 or 20-inch culvert that's longer there's a big bell line

1407
01:50:00,280 --> 01:50:05,760
box they're doing but I think they're obsolete now but we should try and get a

1408
01:50:06,860 --> 01:50:11,660
locates done ASAP and if the lad says those lines are dead but I'll rip them

1409
01:50:11,660 --> 01:50:16,960
when they're there that phone box never but he can you can't really fix the

1410
01:50:16,960 --> 01:50:21,920
lower one without lowering the ditches because they filled up so much and to get

1411
01:50:21,920 --> 01:50:26,200
the water to run out of a French drain or a weeping tile that they might put in

1412
01:50:26,200 --> 01:50:37,620
there it has to have a place to go the quote come in at 25995 plus applicable

1413
01:50:37,620 --> 01:50:44,520
taxes and we have the budget for it I don't see the additional work of

1414
01:50:45,040 --> 01:50:51,140
ditching and changing the culvert beam any more than five so that comes out of

1415
01:50:51,140 --> 01:50:54,640
your your members grant that you get 18,000 for when we originally flight

1416
01:50:54,640 --> 01:50:58,680
it was just for gravel I talked to them down at Andre Fortes office and she

1417
01:50:58,680 --> 01:51:03,020
said you're able to switch it to a different project that's fine and he's

1418
01:51:03,020 --> 01:51:08,020
also going to use the gravel that we've already have in our bed and you

1419
01:51:08,020 --> 01:51:08,860
That's the money in the budget.

1420
01:51:12,240 --> 01:51:14,220
And we were supposed to do it this time last year.

1421
01:51:14,360 --> 01:51:14,960
I'm going to do it.

1422
01:51:15,380 --> 01:51:16,860
I told you I was getting through that list.

1423
01:51:17,160 --> 01:51:19,480
It's time to get through the list.

1424
01:51:19,820 --> 01:51:20,640
The time's running out.

1425
01:51:21,180 --> 01:51:21,580
Exactly.

1426
01:51:24,080 --> 01:51:24,800
So you need a motion?

1427
01:51:25,020 --> 01:51:27,520
Motion to accept enough assistance.

1428
01:51:28,100 --> 01:51:28,920
I'll make that one.

1429
01:51:32,170 --> 01:51:35,230
That's just under public works.

1430
01:51:35,850 --> 01:51:37,710
Who's doing the work on the Butler line?

1431
01:51:38,910 --> 01:51:40,450
That's the ATV club.

1432
01:51:41,570 --> 01:51:48,190
Okay, they had asked for Darcy line, but they had never asked for the Butler line.

1433
01:51:48,270 --> 01:51:50,310
They came in and saw us here when Doris was here.

1434
01:51:50,890 --> 01:51:55,030
We could go and we could do brushing and we sat there and were like, just...

1435
01:51:55,670 --> 01:51:56,390
Doris, Doris.

1436
01:51:58,930 --> 01:52:00,910
So that's below?

1437
01:52:01,590 --> 01:52:02,690
It's on this side, yeah.

1438
01:52:03,290 --> 01:52:05,930
Are they doing the whole thing all the way down?

1439
01:52:05,970 --> 01:52:06,690
I don't think so.

1440
01:52:06,810 --> 01:52:08,150
They should be done by now.

1441
01:52:10,510 --> 01:52:12,450
They said widen up the end of it.

1442
01:52:12,910 --> 01:52:16,010
well they're just widening the end they're just why I don't know how far

1443
01:52:16,010 --> 01:52:20,070
they went but they were I guess when you first came in it was I don't know I didn't

1444
01:52:20,070 --> 01:52:25,870
see it yeah you can see it when you drive I don't know I didn't get it to see

1445
01:52:25,870 --> 01:52:31,730
the whole thing I came through a pair of road today and I saw the AKB signs okay

1446
01:52:32,450 --> 01:52:38,790
those little tiny signs like this like there should be bigger signs and they

1447
01:52:38,790 --> 01:52:45,650
should be more prominent of giving direction like this is the government

1448
01:52:45,650 --> 01:52:52,390
would make them do that yeah we have to do the government tell us what to do

1449
01:52:52,390 --> 01:52:58,450
and give us designs I don't have any issue with that the issue I'm having is

1450
01:52:58,450 --> 01:53:06,010
assigned it's so small that and going up to the bottom of the line there's a

1451
01:53:06,010 --> 01:53:11,590
black kind of arrow at the bottom of this little sign showing people where to go.

1452
01:53:11,770 --> 01:53:12,630
You can't tell?

1453
01:53:13,170 --> 01:53:14,110
You can't tell.

1454
01:53:14,470 --> 01:53:14,630
Mike.

1455
01:53:15,090 --> 01:53:15,330
Mike.

1456
01:53:16,150 --> 01:53:16,690
On the corner.

1457
01:53:17,190 --> 01:53:17,710
No, it's true.

1458
01:53:17,870 --> 01:53:18,170
It's true.

1459
01:53:18,890 --> 01:53:19,330
It's true.

1460
01:53:19,970 --> 01:53:20,490
Sorry.

1461
01:53:21,090 --> 01:53:22,110
Better, better seat.

1462
01:53:24,270 --> 01:53:30,750
One thing that I kind of rub me the wrong way was they put up signs too on Sullivan

1463
01:53:30,750 --> 01:53:33,050
Road where you can't go there with a bike anymore.

1464
01:53:33,550 --> 01:53:34,370
Bikes are not allowed there.

1465
01:53:35,290 --> 01:53:37,030
and those signs were never there before.

1466
01:53:39,330 --> 01:53:42,250
According to the law they can use public roads

1467
01:53:42,250 --> 01:53:44,210
to get from one trail to another,

1468
01:53:45,570 --> 01:53:47,930
just so they're signing it that way

1469
01:53:47,930 --> 01:53:50,990
to keep people with passes from going up there,

1470
01:53:51,110 --> 01:53:53,990
but I have to go up there sometimes for my business

1471
01:53:53,990 --> 01:53:55,170
with bike tickets.

1472
01:53:55,170 --> 01:53:56,070
You can't go up legally.

1473
01:53:56,510 --> 01:53:57,830
You can't force them to do that.

1474
01:53:57,910 --> 01:53:59,510
They're talking about going up design.

1475
01:54:00,090 --> 01:54:01,570
You said we're all against it,

1476
01:54:01,650 --> 01:54:02,970
but they're making us put up design.

1477
01:54:02,970 --> 01:54:10,150
that's it that's the new law so you can be to get there I can be fine for using

1478
01:54:10,150 --> 01:54:14,270
the trail without a pass and then to go further up the road to my other farm I

1479
01:54:14,270 --> 01:54:20,150
can be fine for being on the road with a bike I don't know

1480
01:54:33,590 --> 01:54:35,470
It seems to be backwards.

1481
01:54:39,230 --> 01:54:39,890
We have a motion.

1482
01:54:40,250 --> 01:54:41,570
We didn't vote on that.

1483
01:54:41,570 --> 01:54:41,770
No.

1484
01:54:42,190 --> 01:54:44,210
So John raised the motion.

1485
01:54:44,730 --> 01:54:45,630
All in favour?

1486
01:54:45,970 --> 01:54:46,230
Yes.

1487
01:54:51,690 --> 01:54:52,290
Fast.

1488
01:54:59,770 --> 01:55:00,910
Double vocation grant.

1489
01:55:01,250 --> 01:55:03,690
Received confirmation of 11,800.

1490
01:55:04,110 --> 01:55:08,870
Motion to allow the DG to sign all pertaining agreements.

1491
01:55:15,700 --> 01:55:16,620
Rick made the motion.

1492
01:55:17,200 --> 01:55:17,820
All in favour?

1493
01:55:17,940 --> 01:55:18,440
Yes.

1494
01:55:23,660 --> 01:55:33,120
EVL grant, motion that money was spent and authorized for the DG to sign all pertaining documents and receive funding.

1495
01:55:33,480 --> 01:55:36,080
So that's your big grant, your $183,000?

1496
01:55:37,900 --> 01:55:39,000
$183,000.

1497
01:55:39,000 --> 01:55:40,240
Yeah, $183,600.

1498
01:55:40,500 --> 01:55:41,140
Nope.

1499
01:55:42,800 --> 01:55:43,780
And what are your amounts?

1500
01:55:44,100 --> 01:55:44,180
D.

1501
01:55:45,780 --> 01:55:46,860
So that's when you get every year.

1502
01:55:47,940 --> 01:55:51,560
So at the end of the year, you just have to say we didn't spend it on the rents.

1503
01:55:53,900 --> 01:55:55,360
Do you need a motion for that?

1504
01:55:55,360 --> 01:55:55,640
Yes.

1505
01:55:57,620 --> 01:55:59,160
What should the motion be?

1506
01:55:59,380 --> 01:56:03,580
I have a big long government motion. It's just that you spent the money on the rents basically.

1507
01:56:03,740 --> 01:56:05,020
Okay, I'll make that a motion.

1508
01:56:05,060 --> 01:56:06,620
You took the money and actually spent it.

1509
01:56:09,250 --> 01:56:10,970
Dick makes motion. All in favor?

1510
01:56:11,270 --> 01:56:11,450
Yes.

1511
01:56:12,430 --> 01:56:12,810
All right.

1512
01:56:17,860 --> 01:56:19,800
Correspondents, better from a rate clear.

1513
01:56:31,090 --> 01:56:32,250
Mr. Doyle, do you want?

1514
01:56:32,250 --> 01:56:37,570
Yes, so, repair letter number one, Monday, October 28th, 2024.

1515
01:56:38,590 --> 01:56:42,950
Mayor and Councillors, municipality of Sheinbro and Ashley Poirier, Director-General.

1516
01:56:45,450 --> 01:56:49,470
Thank you for the reply from the Director-General, Ashley Poirier,

1517
01:56:49,850 --> 01:56:55,610
dated October 17th, 2024, in regards to my request for dust suppressant on Sullivan Road.

1518
01:56:56,330 --> 01:57:01,110
As you are preparing the municipal budget for 2025, I am requesting that the budget

1519
01:57:01,110 --> 01:57:06,490
include more than two applications of liquid dust suppressant for the year. During the spring and

1520
01:57:06,490 --> 01:57:11,470
summer of 2024, there were two applications of dust suppressant applied to Sullivan Road.

1521
01:57:12,170 --> 01:57:15,330
The two applications, along with the extensive rain during the season,

1522
01:57:15,850 --> 01:57:18,950
did help in controlling the dust better than in previous years,

1523
01:57:19,390 --> 01:57:23,630
but an extra application early in the spring would help in controlling the amount of dust

1524
01:57:23,630 --> 01:57:28,850
earlier in the season. Therefore, I am requesting that the budget includes at least three

1525
01:57:28,850 --> 01:57:35,110
applications of dust suppressant throughout the season, along with a contingency application

1526
01:57:35,730 --> 01:57:39,610
of at least one more in the case that the summer is unusually dry.

1527
01:57:40,490 --> 01:57:45,070
In addition, the application of small amounts of calcium applied by the municipal employees

1528
01:57:45,070 --> 01:57:48,490
periodically is helpful when the dust becomes extensive.

1529
01:57:49,230 --> 01:57:51,790
I thank you in advance for considering this request.

1530
01:57:52,410 --> 01:57:57,630
A reply to this request would be greatly appreciated from Tim Doyle, taxpayer municipality

1531
01:57:57,630 --> 01:57:59,930
Shembro, 7 Sullivan Road.

1532
01:58:10,970 --> 01:58:18,070
Could we discuss this at the budget, too, about tech grant and fixing that permanently?

1533
01:58:18,330 --> 01:58:19,450
Getting that back to where it was?

1534
01:58:20,990 --> 01:58:24,070
We can discuss that when it comes to the budget.

1535
01:58:24,330 --> 01:58:24,610
Yeah.

1536
01:58:24,910 --> 01:58:25,470
Yeah.

1537
01:58:27,030 --> 01:58:36,660
So, as far as replying to Timmy's letter, tell him that we'll send one after the budget

1538
01:58:36,660 --> 01:58:39,680
that we plan on paving it, sister?

1539
01:58:40,460 --> 01:58:42,400
Well, I don't know whether we can say that.

1540
01:58:42,820 --> 01:58:44,620
I don't know whether we can do it.

1541
01:58:44,980 --> 01:58:45,440
I think so.

1542
01:58:46,220 --> 01:58:47,600
We'll respond after the budget.

1543
01:58:47,860 --> 01:58:49,800
Consider his request.

1544
01:58:50,840 --> 01:58:51,280
Yeah.

1545
01:58:54,250 --> 01:58:55,170
He'll do our best.

1546
01:58:55,490 --> 01:58:55,610
Yeah.

1547
01:58:57,110 --> 01:58:57,790
Pray for me.

1548
01:58:58,090 --> 01:58:58,770
Won't be any dust.

1549
01:58:59,230 --> 01:58:59,910
Pray for me?

1550
01:59:00,550 --> 01:59:00,810
Yeah.

1551
01:59:06,260 --> 01:59:08,280
Do you have any other facts there, sister?

1552
01:59:11,500 --> 01:59:12,380
Well, it's...

1553
01:59:12,380 --> 01:59:13,320
That's the thing.

1554
01:59:13,320 --> 01:59:17,520
They had it paid before and then we took that away from them and it upsets people

1555
01:59:17,520 --> 01:59:22,060
The taxes don't go down and you've got less than you had before

1556
01:59:25,220 --> 01:59:30,380
But the traffic and because of the big hill and the two intersections that close

1557
01:59:31,020 --> 01:59:33,000
We need to look at fixing that

1558
01:59:33,000 --> 01:59:34,800
Those are a lot of work to be done there

1559
01:59:34,800 --> 01:59:36,880
Just one

1560
01:59:42,800 --> 01:59:42,960
letter?

1561
01:59:43,380 --> 01:59:45,080
Well, so there's more correspondence

1562
01:59:45,080 --> 01:59:47,400
The next is the West Pontiac Connects

1563
01:59:47,400 --> 01:59:55,970
Okay. So I'll read this. So the Pontiac West Southeast branch from 120 King Street at Lilius

1564
01:59:55,970 --> 01:59:58,750
that you met, October 20th, 2024.

1565
01:59:59,470 --> 01:59:59,970
Dear Mayor,

1566
02:00:01,660 --> 02:00:08,000
Thank you for your generous donation last year. This funding was used primarily for wages as the

1567
02:00:08,000 --> 02:00:14,800
driving for success program was ending in March of 2024. Hence, I want to take this opportunity

1568
02:00:14,800 --> 02:00:21,280
to report on the operations of the center. This DFS program was funded by the Fonds québécoise

1569
02:00:21,280 --> 02:00:29,140
initiative social or FQIS that is managed by the CPO. To this date, we have not had

1570
02:00:29,140 --> 02:00:34,900
had a new call for projects. We have been approved for two other funds. The Ministry of Culture

1571
02:00:34,900 --> 02:00:42,980
approved $12,000 for arts and culture projects and $36,000 from the CISO to deliver the éclaireur

1572
02:00:42,980 --> 02:00:48,140
program to provide activities for seniors and youth. We are still waiting for the funds

1573
02:00:48,140 --> 02:00:53,220
for this program. We had started this program in June but had to temporarily suspend it

1574
02:00:53,220 --> 02:00:58,820
until we received funds from the CISO. Considering that every grant proposal requires

1575
02:00:58,820 --> 02:01:04,060
is a contribution from the promoter, West Pontiac Connects must either fundraise or request

1576
02:01:04,060 --> 02:01:09,600
donations to cover the promoter's share. Since 2022, the skill links program is managed

1577
02:01:09,600 --> 02:01:15,720
through Amploi Québec called the GEM program and we have not qualified for this revenue.

1578
02:01:16,380 --> 02:01:20,940
Over the last two years, we have greatly reduced our operating funds and we must replenish

1579
02:01:20,940 --> 02:01:26,060
if you want to continue to apply for grants. We also applied to the Amploi Québec wage

1580
02:01:26,060 --> 02:01:29,360
subsidy program to provide a full-time office clerk.

1581
02:01:30,160 --> 02:01:35,080
We need to supplement the wages as Amplua Québec only pays a minimum wage.

1582
02:01:35,740 --> 02:01:41,800
Amplua Québec contributes approximately $32,000 and we contribute the other $4,000.

1583
02:01:42,300 --> 02:01:47,000
As you can see, our board works hard to obtain funding and create employment in the area.

1584
02:01:47,640 --> 02:01:52,740
Therefore, we would greatly appreciate if you would continue to support West Pontiac

1585
02:01:52,740 --> 02:01:54,180
Connects in the upcoming budget.

1586
02:01:54,180 --> 02:02:00,980
The programs and services offered at West Pontiac Connects serve all the residents of the Upper Pontiac.

1587
02:02:01,660 --> 02:02:08,060
We wish to thank you again and please contact me if you require more info signed Gene O'Brien, President.

1588
02:02:13,060 --> 02:02:13,860
Go ahead, I have a question.

1589
02:02:16,840 --> 02:02:19,320
You donated a thousand in 2023.

1590
02:02:21,180 --> 02:02:21,900
Give you an idea.

1591
02:02:22,820 --> 02:02:28,700
I need clarification that at the municipal cooperation they talked about the West Pontiac.

1592
02:02:28,700 --> 02:02:35,860
something. That kind of fell to the wayside. There's two. There's Pontiac West, which is the

1593
02:02:35,860 --> 02:02:41,260
website that we all work together. That was part of the Inner Municipal. The West Pontiac Connects

1594
02:02:41,260 --> 02:02:47,920
is that building in Chapo that there are two separate entities. It's beside the bank.

1595
02:02:48,380 --> 02:02:56,000
They offer mostly to elderly computer services. Okay, I get that. But which one died during

1596
02:02:56,000 --> 02:03:01,940
COVID that now we made a motion here to put $2,000 a year towards the inter-vinicipal cooperation

1597
02:03:01,940 --> 02:03:08,380
that was going to look after what went by the wayside during COVID. And it was West Pontiac

1598
02:03:08,380 --> 02:03:10,460
something, but not this.

1599
02:03:12,680 --> 02:03:17,900
Yeah, well, there's the two that I recall is this one. And then the

1600
02:03:17,900 --> 02:03:24,240
West like O-U-E-S-T Pontiac connects, which was the, we're not connects, but just West Pontiac

1601
02:03:24,240 --> 02:03:28,760
was the project for the website.

1602
02:03:29,640 --> 02:03:33,860
Well, Shantel Air works for Pontiac Fest, so you'll see their posts all the time?

1603
02:03:33,920 --> 02:03:38,400
Well, the website was one of the things we did with this...

1604
02:03:38,400 --> 02:03:49,080
No, I think that what Shane was just talking about is there was, I think, a Pontiac West

1605
02:03:49,080 --> 02:03:54,860
something from the MRC that did videos for tourism and things like that and we

1606
02:03:54,860 --> 02:04:02,800
just not to support that anymore. But we did agree to budget $2,000 to the

1607
02:04:02,800 --> 02:04:06,040
municipal thing to kind of do that.

1608
02:04:09,210 --> 02:04:11,570
Do you remember making that motion?

1609
02:04:13,710 --> 02:04:14,550
Because we

1610
02:04:14,550 --> 02:04:18,170
used to give 2,000 bucks to this other thing but now we give it to them

1611
02:04:18,170 --> 02:04:25,810
instead. I thought it was the $2,000 to make the movies. Yeah, and then we stopped doing that.

1612
02:04:25,910 --> 02:04:34,050
We stopped doing it. So this Kanax, Pontiac West Kanax is totally different. Yeah. Okay.

1613
02:04:34,450 --> 02:04:40,270
They work with the seniors. Yeah. They offer like photocopying. You can go in and ask them

1614
02:04:40,270 --> 02:04:45,530
anything. Like they'll help you apply for a passport. I'm on that board, didn't you? Yeah.

1615
02:04:45,530 --> 02:04:47,930
Oh, try and find what it is. I'm thinking about it.

1616
02:04:47,930 --> 02:04:49,970
It's very easy to find the tickets and printing.

1617
02:04:50,250 --> 02:04:50,450
Yeah.

1618
02:04:50,770 --> 02:04:52,090
Yeah, it's handy.

1619
02:04:52,670 --> 02:04:52,690
Yeah.

1620
02:04:52,910 --> 02:04:53,870
The question is quite busy.

1621
02:04:53,910 --> 02:04:55,030
It's like the little staples.

1622
02:04:55,250 --> 02:04:55,590
Basically.

1623
02:04:56,850 --> 02:04:57,390
That's good.

1624
02:04:58,190 --> 02:05:01,150
Well, that's something that we have to consider in our budget.

1625
02:05:01,850 --> 02:05:01,890
Yeah.

1626
02:05:04,920 --> 02:05:07,420
Think about that cookie horse shop over there.

1627
02:05:07,780 --> 02:05:08,060
Yeah.

1628
02:05:08,320 --> 02:05:09,980
The safe food, I would say.

1629
02:05:10,100 --> 02:05:11,840
The price is $150.

1630
02:05:12,320 --> 02:05:14,460
That's a 300 a person because they have 10 people.

1631
02:05:18,900 --> 02:05:21,080
I had to use it on the weekend.

1632
02:05:25,240 --> 02:05:27,420
Hadn't somebody there with us heard, he'd be fine.

1633
02:05:27,720 --> 02:05:28,920
Did they come in and check, you know?

1634
02:05:29,040 --> 02:05:30,120
They certainly don't, yeah.

1635
02:05:30,740 --> 02:05:32,180
And he serves sandwiches, yeah.

1636
02:05:33,840 --> 02:05:35,600
And he put all the meat on the sandwiches.

1637
02:05:37,460 --> 02:05:39,680
Yeah, the mom had it out before he came.

1638
02:05:39,840 --> 02:05:41,560
I worked for each of them, sandwiches.

1639
02:05:42,200 --> 02:05:44,420
So was there a budget line for that?

1640
02:05:45,180 --> 02:05:45,920
I hope so.

1641
02:05:45,960 --> 02:05:46,820
This is just a request.

1642
02:05:47,180 --> 02:05:48,780
You can put it in your budget for next year.

1643
02:05:49,040 --> 02:05:50,200
I can let her know once you do it.

1644
02:05:51,260 --> 02:05:52,600
So it'll come out.

1645
02:05:53,440 --> 02:05:54,480
No motion for that?

1646
02:05:55,300 --> 02:05:56,980
Unless you know for sure you want to contribute.

1647
02:05:57,420 --> 02:05:57,640
All of you.

1648
02:05:58,880 --> 02:06:00,940
The way you see it.

1649
02:06:05,260 --> 02:06:06,760
Motion to join the CHIP FM?

1650
02:06:07,660 --> 02:06:10,860
Yeah, so more correspondence from CHIP FM.

1651
02:06:11,680 --> 02:06:14,340
Dear member, we are pleased to send you your renewal

1652
02:06:14,340 --> 02:06:20,500
for CHIP 101.9 for the upcoming year, the cost to be a member will be $50 instead of the

1653
02:06:20,500 --> 02:06:21,800
usual $120.

1654
02:06:22,500 --> 02:06:26,520
We hope this reduction can contribute to community development in the Pontiac.

1655
02:06:27,100 --> 02:06:30,660
As an organization, you can also contribute to the development of Pontiac Community

1656
02:06:30,660 --> 02:06:34,860
Radio while benefiting from CHIP's services and extensive audience.

1657
02:06:35,500 --> 02:06:40,140
Did you know that in 2025, by becoming a member of CHIP, you will benefit from the

1658
02:06:40,140 --> 02:06:40,980
following advantages.

1659
02:06:41,640 --> 02:06:47,680
announcements of your events on the airwaves in our community bulletin board in and as well as on our website,

1660
02:06:48,580 --> 02:06:54,880
posting a job offer on our airwaves in our public notices on the air and online,

1661
02:06:55,220 --> 02:06:58,200
and the possibility of live or pre-recorded interviews.

1662
02:06:58,920 --> 02:07:03,480
Our goal is to demonstrate to our community the importance of your role within the Pontiac.

1663
02:07:03,960 --> 02:07:09,560
The cost of the annual membership is therefore $50 until January 31st, 2026.

1664
02:07:09,560 --> 02:07:12,660
We hope that your organization will join us as a member.

1665
02:07:13,320 --> 02:07:18,100
It will be our great pleasure to help you inform the community about all your events

1666
02:07:18,100 --> 02:07:20,200
and programs throughout our services.

1667
02:07:21,000 --> 02:07:24,840
If you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

1668
02:07:25,400 --> 02:07:27,300
Je nieve gagnant direct et général.

1669
02:07:28,140 --> 02:07:33,020
And so it's the $50 yearly membership request.

1670
02:07:34,300 --> 02:07:42,590
They have a reporter. They have an actual reporter that goes to me and publishes the results of it online.

1671
02:07:45,250 --> 02:07:49,950
You have a lot of coverage of the Incinerator project. You're really good to support, I think.

1672
02:07:50,470 --> 02:07:57,010
Well, we've been a member before and we support local, so at $50 mentorship, that's pretty cheap.

1673
02:07:57,030 --> 02:07:58,190
You give a reason why you went down?

1674
02:07:59,210 --> 02:08:09,570
it's to incentivize us to join and they just say the cost to a member will be

1675
02:08:09,570 --> 02:08:14,650
$50 instead of the annual 120 we hope that this reduction can contribute to

1676
02:08:14,650 --> 02:08:20,490
community development in the Pontiac so basically more money for us to so we

1677
02:08:20,490 --> 02:08:27,410
haven't been doing this at 1.20. We haven't done it for the last couple years. Okay, let's forget it's 5.

1678
02:08:28,410 --> 02:08:35,170
Yeah, I guess. So about for 2.24 or 2.25? Yeah. That's the budget thing we need to do, right?

1679
02:08:36,430 --> 02:08:41,170
A lot of these places are doing their budgets, so they want to get an idea. That's another budget.

1680
02:08:43,730 --> 02:08:47,250
It's about 20 years. Was that their budget meeting last week?

1681
02:08:48,690 --> 02:08:53,490
So, in the budget for donations to non-profits, there's none left?

1682
02:08:54,210 --> 02:08:55,130
Yeah, there's money left.

1683
02:08:55,270 --> 02:08:55,690
There's money left?

1684
02:08:55,910 --> 02:09:00,150
I think there's $500, and then I didn't get the cost of the wreath yet, which won't be $500, obviously.

1685
02:09:01,150 --> 02:09:05,230
So we could do that, too, on last year's budget of donations.

1686
02:09:05,930 --> 02:09:07,830
If you pay for it this year, just consider your budget this year.

1687
02:09:08,070 --> 02:09:08,930
Right. Why don't we do that?

1688
02:09:09,970 --> 02:09:10,370
Do it.

1689
02:09:10,930 --> 02:09:11,510
Can we do it?

1690
02:09:12,110 --> 02:09:13,350
Sure. The money's there.

1691
02:09:13,790 --> 02:09:14,390
Make a motion?

1692
02:09:14,690 --> 02:09:15,630
Yeah, I'll make a motion.

1693
02:09:15,630 --> 02:09:17,950
Yeah, but last year it was 120 and that was...

1694
02:09:17,950 --> 02:09:18,930
We didn't pay anything last year.

1695
02:09:19,570 --> 02:09:21,390
No, so we're not paying for last year then.

1696
02:09:21,890 --> 02:09:24,750
No, we'll just pay in this year for next year.

1697
02:09:24,950 --> 02:09:25,810
Well, that's 50 bucks.

1698
02:09:26,110 --> 02:09:28,610
If we didn't want to pay for last year, it would be 120 bucks.

1699
02:09:28,610 --> 02:09:29,290
No, I'm not saying that.

1700
02:09:30,690 --> 02:09:31,910
Paying for next year is this year.

1701
02:09:33,570 --> 02:09:35,970
We're paying for next year with this year's budget.

1702
02:09:37,090 --> 02:09:39,550
That was the donation life.

1703
02:09:41,190 --> 02:09:42,270
So Rick made the motion.

1704
02:09:43,410 --> 02:09:43,970
All in favor?

1705
02:09:57,720 --> 02:10:04,280
Yeah, it's just the same request. We've done this before for the Shimburu Archive, and

1706
02:10:04,280 --> 02:10:12,640
they received money from, I believe it was Forte for cultural development and projects.

1707
02:10:13,200 --> 02:10:17,420
So the Shimburu Archive is requesting a support letter from the municipality for a cultural

1708
02:10:17,420 --> 02:10:23,240
they will be applying for this month. So it's just a letter saying that we support them in that endeavor.

1709
02:10:24,420 --> 02:10:26,640
Motion to have the DG write a letter of support.

1710
02:10:28,180 --> 02:10:33,080
I'm sure. I want to tell you we've got $500 from the letter of the year.

1711
02:10:33,340 --> 02:10:37,240
Do you want that in writing?

1712
02:10:42,340 --> 02:10:47,080
There's a former member of the government, Sean Conway, and his sister.

1713
02:10:47,080 --> 02:10:49,940
He came up and he's a really friendly girl most of the afternoon, you know.

1714
02:10:50,140 --> 02:10:50,980
He's pretty cool, yeah.

1715
02:10:51,100 --> 02:10:52,040
Yeah, he's very smart.

1716
02:10:53,220 --> 02:10:54,240
He's nice to chat with.

1717
02:10:54,320 --> 02:10:55,340
He was blown away by the building.

1718
02:10:55,820 --> 02:10:56,880
Oh, he didn't want to leave.

1719
02:10:57,740 --> 02:10:58,980
Oh, we made a lunch and everything.

1720
02:11:01,200 --> 02:11:02,880
Karen made the motion. All in favor?

1721
02:11:03,780 --> 02:11:03,880
Yeah.

1722
02:11:04,080 --> 02:11:04,320
Fast.

1723
02:11:06,920 --> 02:11:08,800
And then the last bit of correspondence.

1724
02:11:09,140 --> 02:11:09,340
Letter.

1725
02:11:09,580 --> 02:11:11,480
On the other hand, this is the letter from the RA.

1726
02:11:12,360 --> 02:11:14,040
Tuesday, November 5th, 2024.

1727
02:11:14,420 --> 02:11:16,260
The Sheenborough Recreation Association.

1728
02:11:16,260 --> 02:11:22,660
Jean Gleason, President, R.E. the Memorial Wall, Mayor Ranje and Councilors.

1729
02:11:23,180 --> 02:11:28,040
The Sheenborough Recreation Committee would like to thank you for your generous donation

1730
02:11:28,040 --> 02:11:32,420
that covered the cost of repairing the crumbling mortar on the Memorial Wall in the park.

1731
02:11:33,020 --> 02:11:37,960
Mr. Sullivan honored the quote he gave us last year and completed the repairs in mid-October.

1732
02:11:38,680 --> 02:11:43,540
Your constant and continued support of the Sheenborough Recreation Association's initiatives

1733
02:11:43,540 --> 02:11:47,920
is greatly appreciated. Sincerely signed Gene Gleason.

1734
02:11:50,380 --> 02:11:51,220
Pardon me?

1735
02:11:51,340 --> 02:11:51,760
Which Sullivan?

1736
02:11:52,200 --> 02:11:52,480
Sean.

1737
02:11:53,160 --> 02:11:53,940
Sean, yeah.

1738
02:11:54,320 --> 02:11:54,780
Sean Sullivan.

1739
02:11:55,220 --> 02:11:58,640
Yeah, I doesn't say his first name, but it's Sean Sullivan.

1740
02:11:58,780 --> 02:11:59,480
I got a song there.

1741
02:12:00,200 --> 02:12:01,360
Not from Chapel.

1742
02:12:03,620 --> 02:12:05,460
That has the club?

1743
02:12:05,600 --> 02:12:07,440
It's a Brown Crook.

1744
02:12:07,660 --> 02:12:09,000
No, it's the other Sean Sullivan.

1745
02:12:09,280 --> 02:12:09,620
Oh, yeah.

1746
02:12:09,680 --> 02:12:10,400
Was the other song?

1747
02:12:11,320 --> 02:12:13,900
It's not related to Roe Verde and their stomach.

1748
02:12:14,920 --> 02:12:15,860
Oh yeah, okay.

1749
02:12:16,180 --> 02:12:19,700
It is restoration, yeah.

1750
02:12:19,860 --> 02:12:21,940
Yeah, it was a nurse and then I would get a nurse.

1751
02:12:23,140 --> 02:12:23,620
Cool.

1752
02:12:24,840 --> 02:12:26,180
So we're going to go in camera.

1753
02:12:26,500 --> 02:12:27,920
We'd have to get the public to leave.

1754
02:12:28,140 --> 02:12:30,260
But before you do, is there any questions or comments?

1755
02:12:33,490 --> 02:12:37,330
Thank you for hearing all my questions and concerns this evening.

1756
02:12:37,330 --> 02:12:46,750
I'd like to share my condolences for the passing of our municipal worker Richard, who's a really nice person.

1757
02:12:47,250 --> 02:12:52,330
Everybody here work close with him. I see him on the road every day. Sorry to see him go.

1758
02:12:53,730 --> 02:12:58,930
So I'm really sorry everybody. I just work closer with him than I did.

1759
02:13:00,190 --> 02:13:00,970
Thank you, Greg.

1760
02:13:02,310 --> 02:13:04,530
Yeah, I'll second that one. That's for sure.

1761
02:13:06,570 --> 02:13:08,810
He did a pretty good job changing it, I'll say that.

1762
02:13:08,970 --> 02:13:10,370
It was a little long.

1763
02:13:12,690 --> 02:13:14,350
That was a pretty long agenda.

1764
02:13:17,230 --> 02:13:21,110
At the very end, it would have been nice if we wanted to ask them.

1765
02:13:21,310 --> 02:13:23,850
That would be nice. Something just to talk about.

1766
02:13:24,730 --> 02:13:24,910
Yeah.

1767
02:13:34,670 --> 02:13:37,810
He said he was like me one time, so be careful what you say.

1768
02:13:42,830 --> 02:13:46,130
So we're going in the camera at 8.45, I'm going to stop the recording.
