1
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,120
work and play in stere and we strive to

2
00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:36,000
uphold the spirit of respect and unity

3
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:38,160
in our community. I'd like to call to

4
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,239
order the committee of the full meeting

5
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:44,640
for Thursday, July 23rd, 7:01.

6
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:46,960
Uh we have two regrets for this evening

7
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:50,320
from Mayor Glasser and Deputy Mayor

8
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,920
Loots. Any approval or changes to the

9
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,559
agenda as presented?

10
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,920
» I'll uh approve the agenda for our

11
00:00:54,559 --> 00:01:00,879
committee the whole session for

12
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:02,079
Thursday, July the 23rd as presented.

13
00:01:00,879 --> 00:01:05,680
Second.

14
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:07,280
» Well, I guess you do. [laughter]

15
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:11,360
» All those in favor?

16
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:15,479
» I carry. Any disclosure of interest on

17
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,479
the agenda items for this evening?

18
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:23,479
the minutes from the committee of the

19
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:23,479
whole from June 25th. Any changes?

20
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,520
It is presented. There is no

21
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,560
announcements or presentation this

22
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:34,720
evening. No written petition. Oh, sorry.

23
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:38,720
There is one written petition uh

24
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:41,720
correspondence from Maggie's place.

25
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,720
Yes.

26
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:51,720
Any citizen comments?

27
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:58,640
» You guys, please.

28
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:02,079
» Uh, all right. My name is Lan Mumbold,

29
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:05,200
uh, resident St. Andrews. Um, good

30
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:07,840
evening, uh, mayor and absentee, uh, and

31
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:11,039
council members. Um, I'm speaking

32
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:13,360
tonight uh because I am deeply concerned

33
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:15,360
by the decision to prohibit Audrey

34
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,680
Armsworthy from attending town hall and

35
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,760
public council meetings. Public council

36
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:23,280
meetings exist so that residents can

37
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:25,520
observe their elected representatives

38
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,840
and stay informed and participate in

39
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,160
local democracy. Excluding a resident

40
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,480
from those meetings is an extraordinary

41
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,360
step that should only occur when there

42
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:38,480
is clear evidence of an individual

43
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:41,519
presenting a genuine risk to the safety

44
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,319
of others or is actually disrupting the

45
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:46,959
proceedings of a meeting. The noticed

46
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:49,599
issue to Miss Armsworthy refers to

47
00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:52,239
bitterallic and threatening posts on

48
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:55,519
social media. Many residents have read

49
00:02:52,239 --> 00:02:58,239
Audrey's posts. They know, yes, that she

50
00:02:55,519 --> 00:03:01,120
is outspoken, direct, and often highly

51
00:02:58,239 --> 00:03:03,040
critical of council and town staff. She

52
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,920
regularly shares information about

53
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:08,480
bylaws, land use matters, and council

54
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:11,280
decisions. And she challenges statements

55
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,200
that she believes are inaccurate. Some

56
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,680
people may disagree with her opinions or

57
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:18,319
dislike her style of communication, but

58
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,920
that is part of living in a democracy.

59
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:23,920
Communication.

60
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:26,080
Criticism is not the same as a threat.

61
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:28,239
If a resident can be barred from public

62
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,480
meetings because they are persistent,

63
00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:33,280
wellinformed, or outspoken in their

64
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:35,440
criticism of elected officials, then

65
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,519
every resident should be concerned,

66
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,760
myself included.

67
00:03:37,519 --> 00:03:41,440
The issue before us is larger than one

68
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,360
individual. It is about whether

69
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,440
residents can question their government

70
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,640
without fear of being excluded from the

71
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,799
democratic process. Public institutions

72
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,680
must be able to distinguish between

73
00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:56,480
speech that is uncomfortable and speech

74
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,879
that is genuinely threatening. Those are

75
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:01,120
not the same thing and they shouldn't be

76
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:03,040
treated as though they are. Many

77
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,439
residents rely on Audrey to explain

78
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:08,159
municipal bylaws, summarize council

79
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:09,840
decisions, and encourage public

80
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:12,239
engagement.

81
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:15,120
Whether or not one agrees with the

82
00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:17,120
opinion that she expresses is beside the

83
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,519
point. The appropriate response to

84
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:22,000
criticism is more transparency,

85
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:25,120
transparency, more communication, and

86
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,919
more accountability, not restricting a

87
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,080
resident's access to public meetings. I

88
00:04:27,919 --> 00:04:32,479
respectfully ask council to reconsider

89
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:35,600
that decision to ensure that any

90
00:04:32,479 --> 00:04:38,720
restrictions on residents participation,

91
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:41,440
sorry, are based on objective evidence

92
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,520
and due process and to reaffirm that

93
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,840
robust criticism

94
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,320
or or sorry, of elected officials and

95
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:51,360
municipal administration is not grounds

96
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:54,560
for exclusion from public life. A

97
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:59,199
healthy democracy welcomes scrutiny. It

98
00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:02,440
does not silence it. Thank you.

99
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:02,440
» Thank you.

100
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:09,520
» Any other citizen comments?

101
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:12,240
We'll move into 10A which is uh business

102
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:15,520
the CIO report. Can I hand it over?

103
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:18,960
» Okay. Thank you chair. Um just an update

104
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:22,000
on the uh water work uh the water tank

105
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:24,479
maintenance project was completed. Uh we

106
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,720
have been working uh towards the roof

107
00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:29,440
replacement that we let uh council bill

108
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,199
out in June. Uh we are ahead of schedule

109
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,600
on that project. So we will be moving

110
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:35,680
the project up from the end of a August

111
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,880
uh or we had said end of August

112
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,280
beginning of September. We will be

113
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,880
starting that project on July the 27th.

114
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:42,720
Uh we'll be having more information

115
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:46,800
coming to the public uh in the next week

116
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:48,960
or so. Um this evening uh council will

117
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,600
in the council meeting discuss the uh

118
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:54,080
water treatment plant design project. Uh

119
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,479
if finalized uh by resolution this

120
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,240
evening, we will move forward to uh

121
00:05:56,479 --> 00:06:01,039
awarding the design portion of the water

122
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,880
treatment plant tomorrow. Uh and we'll

123
00:06:01,039 --> 00:06:04,720
start the uh kickoff meeting with the

124
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,000
contractor and start moving forward with

125
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,759
the uh planning of our new water

126
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,960
treatment plant and our new water

127
00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:13,440
source. Um moving on to the high tide,

128
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,680
low tide uh pump station replacement. Uh

129
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,520
that project uh commenced on time and

130
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,080
we're finished ahead of schedule. Uh we

131
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:22,000
commissioned the new pump station on uh

132
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,800
Tuesday of this week and uh it's

133
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,199
completed and uh we're moving uh moving

134
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,199
forward with closing out that project.

135
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:31,360
Um as we reported the diesel generator

136
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:33,280
project uh was completed as well. The

137
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:36,000
maintenance uh was taken care of by

138
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:38,400
Aaron uh and the public works team. Uh

139
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:41,520
that is complete and uh everything seems

140
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:44,960
to be operational and uh proceeding uh

141
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:47,039
working as usual. Um

142
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,319
Kitchener Street lift station. Uh we

143
00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:50,000
report to council there are two pumps

144
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:52,160
that need to be replaced on Kitchener

145
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,479
Street. Uh we are working through uh

146
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,840
some valving issues. Uh and we will

147
00:06:54,479 --> 00:06:58,400
determine in the next week or so whether

148
00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:01,360
or not we need to take the two pumps uh

149
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,840
and uh Kitchener Street offline to

150
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:06,160
replace those two pumps. if we need to

151
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:07,280
offline, uh we will put a notice out to

152
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,199
the public and we will do that work

153
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:11,360
between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 6:00

154
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:13,280
a.m. to have as minimal impact on the

155
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:17,360
community as possible. Uh so more

156
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:19,680
information is uh forthcoming and water

157
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:22,160
updates. Uh just an update for council

158
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,479
that the water levels in the St. Andrews

159
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,919
River have been low. Uh they did rise

160
00:07:24,479 --> 00:07:28,479
with the rains that we've had over the

161
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:30,240
last couple of days. uh but the levels

162
00:07:28,479 --> 00:07:32,400
have been uh decreasing rapidly and

163
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,800
we're expecting them to start decreasing

164
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:37,039
uh as of tomorrow. Uh we have been below

165
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,440
the ecological maintenance flow levels

166
00:07:37,039 --> 00:07:41,840
and the water uh intake in front of a

167
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:44,080
gallery has been extremely low. So we

168
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,080
have implemented our emergency action

169
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,680
plan and we have applied to the

170
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,680
department of fisheries and oceans and

171
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,080
the province of Nova Scotia to dam the

172
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,520
river in front of the gallery if needed.

173
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,160
Uh we will have that in place and we

174
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:59,039
will proceed to dam if required. uh and

175
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:01,280
we will not notify the

176
00:07:59,039 --> 00:08:03,520
uh council and the public if that is uh

177
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:06,240
required. We will continue to be on

178
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:10,639
voluntary uh water conservation uh in

179
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:12,400
the meantime. Um and um we'll update the

180
00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:14,560
public if we need to go to mandatory. We

181
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,000
did last year have to go to mandatory. I

182
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,080
believe it was the second week of August

183
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,599
with the hot uh temperatures. We haven't

184
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,840
reached those temperatures this year,

185
00:08:19,599 --> 00:08:26,560
but again the St. Andrew uh River has

186
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:28,160
been extremely low. Um RCMP, we have uh

187
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,680
notified them that speeding continues to

188
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,520
be an issue in town along St. Anders and

189
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,360
Kitchener specifically and they will be

190
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,519
doing some additional radar traps uh in

191
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,200
the area. So happy to answer any

192
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:39,680
questions that council may have.

193
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,719
» Any questions? Councor

194
00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:44,159
potholes.

195
00:08:40,719 --> 00:08:45,839
» Yeah. So update on potholes. Uh we have

196
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:47,839
uh got word from public work staff

197
00:08:45,839 --> 00:08:50,320
they'll be moving to St. Anger Street

198
00:08:47,839 --> 00:08:51,920
next week. Uh and that should be done by

199
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,560
the end of next week.

200
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,240
» Next week.

201
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:59,560
Barring any bad weather, I guess that'll

202
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,560
be our next

203
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:02,839
questions.

204
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:08,399
» Um,

205
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:11,360
the paving project for Kitchener Street.

206
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:14,320
Um, there were a lot of comments when

207
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:16,480
Riverside was paved. The people living

208
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:19,279
on the street didn't exactly know the

209
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:22,240
dimensions of the piece of work. Um, are

210
00:09:19,279 --> 00:09:24,080
we going to engage people on Kitchener

211
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,440
Street that it's being paved to hear

212
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,680
what they have to say? What are the

213
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:30,399
implications so they don't have kind of

214
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:32,399
that riverside discussion?

215
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:34,320
» Yes. Uh, so good question. We will

216
00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:36,080
engage the public next year. So, uh, at

217
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,080
the last meeting we discussed uh that

218
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,040
the Kitchener Street project portion

219
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,959
when we moved to next year, we're going

220
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,120
to do a much larger piece. Uh, we will

221
00:09:40,959 --> 00:09:45,440
engage the residents on that. uh and the

222
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,440
uh ask with if uh council resolves this

223
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,040
evening will be awarded and we'll put

224
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:53,320
that portion on the uh on the schedule

225
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,320
for probably the next month or so.

226
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:03,360
» Moving on to 10B which is an alternative

227
00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:05,279
development officer appointment.

228
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,279
» I will briefly speak to that. Uh Jacob

229
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:10,240
McFersoning our planner is here tonight.

230
00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:12,640
Uh Jason uh Fox is our uh development

231
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,480
officer for the town. Uh in Jason's

232
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,640
absence when he is either on conference

233
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:19,600
or on vacation, uh it's a good idea to

234
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:22,880
have a resolution in place to uh name a

235
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:26,160
alternate development officer. Uh our

236
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:28,560
request uh to council to consider uh

237
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:31,600
naming Jacob the alternative uh

238
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:33,680
development officer in Jason Fox's

239
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,079
absence. So we would need a motion to do

240
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:38,399
that if council like to do so. I'll make

241
00:10:36,079 --> 00:10:40,560
that motion that uh council recommend

242
00:10:38,399 --> 00:10:42,959
Jacob McFersonen as our alternate

243
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:45,959
development officer. Okay. Councelor

244
00:10:42,959 --> 00:10:45,959
Osw.

245
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:52,320
» All those in favor?

246
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:55,440
» Motion carried.

247
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:58,000
Nothing from town committee updates. Uh

248
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,160
so we can move on to council updates.

249
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,240
Councelor Rosmore.

250
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:06,880
Um

251
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:08,079
actually mine will be in the council.

252
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,040
» No,

253
00:11:08,079 --> 00:11:14,320
» Nothing for me. No in camera this

254
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:18,160
evening. So this portion of the uh

255
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:20,560
council session is adjourned at 7:12.

256
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,440
Take a fivem minute recess and move into

257
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:22,720
the council.

258
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,200
» You do have the option of taking a fivem

259
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:27,200
minute recess

260
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,440
or if you wish to proceed as council you

261
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,377
can.

262
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,920
» Do we need a recess? I have no

263
00:11:30,377 --> 00:11:35,240
[laughter]

264
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,240
» I don't.

265
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:45,120
» So we'll move right into the council

266
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:48,480
meeting for Thursday July 23rd and we'll

267
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:51,040

Again in attendance we have regrets from

Mayor Glasser and Deputy Mayor Loots.

270
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,920
Any approval or changes to the agenda as

00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,519
presented?

272
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:03,120
» I'll make the motion to accept the

274
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:08,320

00:12:40,079 --> 00:12:46,200
we need to citizen comments again have

288
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,200

00:12:54,480 --> 00:13:00,320
I'll uh I'll make that motion that uh

292
00:12:57,279 --> 00:13:02,240

and District area volunteer fire

298
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:16,480
department. And further that council

299
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:18,880
approve that the StuAK district

300
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,160

301
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,000

Moved

308
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:38,639
» By councelor Osborne.

309
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:41,120
» Second by councelor. All those in favor

310
00:13:38,639 --> 00:13:45,600
motion carried.

311
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:48,480
10B. Uh, it's AB tender.

312
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:52,240
» Um, just to follow up on councelor

313
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:56,320
Leblanc's point on that, I think, um, if

314
00:13:52,240 --> 00:14:00,000
I may, um,

315
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:03,519
when we did Riverside, we did curbs and

316
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:07,040
sidewalks. So, we actually expanded the

317
00:14:03,519 --> 00:14:08,880
road. So, I think, um, if I am

318
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,480
understanding correctly, we're not doing

319
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:14,480
that with this portion. We're just

320
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:16,000
repaving the current section, correct?

321
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,160
» Yes.

322
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,160
The plan for the capital project or

323
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,920
capital budget next year is for paving

324
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,399
only. We can expand that and have the

325
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:27,920
conversations with council uh for the

326
00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:30,160
capital budget next year um to add

327
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,920
sidewalks and curves if council wishes.

328
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,040
» I'm talking about the 27,000 that we're

329
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,600
looking to approve right now.

330
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,600
» Correct. So that portion is only for and

331
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:40,800
that is not in in relation to any

332
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:43,040
portion of kitchen. So it's just the

333
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,720
entrance on assets. Correct.

334
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,040
» That's correct. Kitchener is being moved

335
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,920
to next year uh to encompass a much

336
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,920
larger portion.

337
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,920
» Okay.

338
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:59,120
So, with that, I'll make the motion that

339
00:14:53,360 --> 00:15:00,800

372
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:39,759
» 11 town committees uh planning advisory

373
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:43,880
committee regarding R4 as assembly

374
00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:43,880
amendment first reading.

375
00:16:44,781 --> 00:16:48,480
[laughter]

376
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:51,759
» You want me to keep going?

377
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,880
» We we can keep going. U I just want to

378
00:16:51,759 --> 00:16:54,480
acknowledge the fact that Jacob

379
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,480
McFersonson, our planner, was not here

380
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,000
at the June meeting. Uh so should

381
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,160
council have any additional questions

382
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,079
regarding the amendment, we'd be happy

383
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,440
to answer them. Otherwise, the process

384
00:17:02,079 --> 00:17:05,520
going forward is tonight will be the

385
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,760
first reading. uh at which time we also

386
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,280
set a public meeting which I'd recommend

387
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:12,720
be before the next council meeting on

388
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:14,319
September I believe it's the 22nd um and

389
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,799
then the second reading would be the

390
00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:19,280
evening of the September 22nd uh and

391
00:17:16,799 --> 00:17:21,199
advertising um on either side first

392
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,280
reading meeting tonight advertising

393
00:17:21,199 --> 00:17:24,640
would happen tomorrow and advertising

394
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,640
would happen after the second reading in

395
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:29,199
September

396
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,199
» 24th

397
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,600
So I will make that recommendation or

398
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:41,000
sorry that

399
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,000
that approval

400
00:17:42,559 --> 00:17:47,760
that we approve

401
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:50,400
the first reading for the land use bylaw

402
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:53,440
amendment

403
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:57,760
and that council approve the outdoor

404
00:17:53,440 --> 00:18:00,559
event permit bylaw within that as per

405
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:02,480
section two um schedule two. So,

406
00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:07,559
schedule one and schedule two. And then

407
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:07,559
further that we set a public hearing

408
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,080
for

409
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:20,919
7:00 or 6:30

410
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:20,919
maybe 6:30 on September the 24th.

411
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,520
Moved by Councelor Ross.

412
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:31,200
» Yes. Oh, second.

413
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:34,600
» Second by Counc. All those in favor?

414
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,600
Motion carried.

415
00:18:35,679 --> 00:18:43,640
Uh part B, bylaw and policy. The first

416
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,640
one is the sewer connection bylaw.

417
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,760
Okay. Um sewer connection bylaw. I do

418
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:54,160
have a question regarding the profit

419
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:57,039
line and um the definition thereof. um

420
00:18:54,160 --> 00:19:00,960
in order for us to approve this um

421
00:18:57,039 --> 00:19:03,600
without any definition in it um

422
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:06,960
should we be adding it now or I mean I

423
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:10,799
don't want to belabor this one at all.

424
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:14,559
So that would be to council's decision.

425
00:19:10,799 --> 00:19:16,559
Um it's hard for us to explicitly define

426
00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:20,799
where the property line is with a

427
00:19:16,559 --> 00:19:23,280
survey. Uh we have a vague idea based on

428
00:19:20,799 --> 00:19:25,760
uh easements and road ends. Uh we do

429
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:28,559
have a pin locator to look at uh

430
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:32,000
property lines if they are marked. Um so

431
00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:34,799
I do if council wishes to have a

432
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,400
definition hinged

433
00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:40,039
by

434
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,039
you can come back.

435
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:47,559
I just want to read this just for a

436
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,559
second about the connection and

437
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:06,320
maybe 68 or

438
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:07,360
you think you have 6 a.m.

439
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,919
Six six.

440
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:13,280
» Yeah. In the dialogue.

441
00:20:09,919 --> 00:20:14,960
It might cover what I'm looking for. The

442
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,840
owner of a building the nearest part of

443
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:20,480
which is not rather than 300 ft from

444
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:23,120
shall be required.

445
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,960
No, that's just

446
00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:28,559
» Yeah it does not define the property

447
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:31,520
line. Um and what what we could rely on

448
00:20:28,559 --> 00:20:35,440
and perhaps Mr. of Pearson helping you

449
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:39,520
know that GIS technician Amanda B for

450
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:44,080
the town of Turo u can measure out from

451
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:47,120
uh roadways or property lines that are

452
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,559
in our GIS system and we should be able

453
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:50,960
to to come up with measurements that

454
00:20:48,559 --> 00:20:54,720
define the property line but that

455
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:56,880
doesn't define it within the bylaw that

456
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,919
just gives us the measurement

457
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:02,159
» The the main thing is um to measure

458
00:20:59,919 --> 00:21:04,240
based on the the data that our GIS

459
00:21:02,159 --> 00:21:06,480
technician has available. Um it's only

460
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:08,480
approximate and so if you're depending

461
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:11,200
on how important understanding exactly

462
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:15,039
where that line is though I would say

463
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,760
it's questionable. Yeah. Yeah. certainly

464
00:21:15,039 --> 00:21:19,039
do.

465
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:20,320
» Is number eight covered

466
00:21:19,039 --> 00:21:22,000
all costs associated with the

467
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,000
installation, connection, maintenance or

468
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,360
repair of

469
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,440
with the exception of the portion of

470
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:29,280
connection from the property line to the

471
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:32,880
main line

472
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:37,440
which is the responsibility of the town.

473
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:38,799
So, so that would cover it correct. So

474
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,440
the property line no matter where the

475
00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:43,919
property line actually is from the

476
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:46,960
property line to the main line is the

477
00:21:43,919 --> 00:21:48,799
tax responsibility. Correct. Correct.

478
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,799
» I think the issue at hand is we just

479
00:21:48,799 --> 00:21:53,280
can't definitively pinpoint where the

480
00:21:50,799 --> 00:21:55,679
property line is right without a survey.

481
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,799
Um but we'll be able to you know get

482
00:21:55,679 --> 00:21:58,400
very very close.

483
00:21:56,799 --> 00:22:00,559
» Yeah. But I think number eight covers

484
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:04,080
what I'm what I'm looking for is the

485
00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:07,679
road portion sidewalk portion right or

486
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:10,240
partial lawn or whatever. Yeah. Okay.

487
00:22:07,679 --> 00:22:12,640
All right.

488
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:16,480
With that, I will make

489
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:18,080
a motion that council

490
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:21,840
approve

491
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:24,960
the changing of the wording of section 8

492
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:27,960
in the sewer connection bylaw

493
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,960
T26-10.

494
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:36,960
Uh moved by counselor Ros. Second by

495
00:22:33,679 --> 00:22:39,440
counselor LeBlanc. All those in favor?

496
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,679
Motion carried.

497
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:46,200
The second pylon policy we have this

498
00:22:41,679 --> 00:22:46,200
evening is the procurement policy.

499
00:22:48,159 --> 00:22:51,280
I'll make that motion that council

500
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:54,640
approve

501
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:58,320
the adding of the section of purchasing

502
00:22:54,640 --> 00:23:01,919
of equipment to the procurement policy

503
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,159
number 2026-05.

504
00:23:01,919 --> 00:23:04,400
Moved

505
00:23:02,159 --> 00:23:08,480
» By councelor Osborne.

506
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:10,480
Seconded by council in favor

motion carried.

508
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,480
Moving on to number 12 which is council

509
00:23:12,559 --> 00:23:16,400
updates.

510
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,320
Councelor Rosmore I have a brief update.

511
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:22,320
It's regarding my attendance for the

512
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:26,000
FCM. Um I attended the FCM on behalf of

513
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:28,799
the town in June. Um

514
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:31,360
the FCM this year focused on a couple of

515
00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:33,280
things. Um it was about communities. It

516
00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:36,000
was about a lot about water and

517
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:38,799
wastewater and it was about um stability

518
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,679
within municipal government or the

519
00:23:38,799 --> 00:23:46,720
instability of municipal government. Um

520
00:23:41,679 --> 00:23:49,760
I took in a number of um sessions on

521
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:51,280
social media bullying, intimidation,

522
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:54,880
incivility

523
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:59,280
um and tools on how to

524
00:23:54,880 --> 00:24:03,120
um cope with that. Um

525
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:04,720
Nova Scotia isn't um the only province

526
00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:08,080
that's going through this. It's it's

527
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:14,520
across the country. The other um session

528
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:14,520
um that um was in particular interest

529
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:36,360
I'm

530
00:24:53,120 --> 00:24:58,960
the CIO implied and it's very in the

531
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:01,760
public but it takes a couple of case

532
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:05,840
this way. We were uh first ones in the

533
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,840
old saying goes first in first serve.

534
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:32,559
Thank you, council.

535
00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:35,120
» Nothing.

536
00:26:32,559 --> 00:26:37,840
» I have nothing. We have no in camera

537
00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:41,880
