So then um 184 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:44,160 museum board, hey, we we didn't have a meeting. The 185 00:17:41,919 --> 00:17:51,679 meeting should be coming up next month, but um the the day camp uh for the kids 186 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:57,840 and that that went on extremely well and the walking tours that went very well, 187 00:17:54,320 --> 00:18:02,880 too. Um the museum have a little addition in their kitchen where there's 188 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:08,240 a popcorn maker and popcorn which I donated. 189 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:14,240 So they were quite happy with that. We had the popcorn out of um July 1st. So 190 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:18,679 they liked it so much and I thought well you know what you can keep. 191 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:24,559 » Thank you for that. >> Yeah. 192 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:27,760 » Just on the museum. Any update on this fence design yet or are they still 193 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:32,000 working? >> No. 194 00:18:29,679 --> 00:18:36,787 » Actually, I talked to him. >> Did you have he has to he has to apply 195 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:44,200 for a grant and it's not open [clears throat] as I remember when it 196 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:44,200 was mentioned this last 197 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:52,799 » there's still a big issue with um transients 198 00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:58,880 the museum. It is um it's not very nice. And I've had uh people I had a couple 199 00:18:57,120 --> 00:19:05,280 people complaining to me and I just thought, well, hey, they're trying. We 200 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:09,600 put the music back on so they're not. But when you come to town and you see 201 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:15,039 it, it's I don't know. It would be nice to get that fence up sooner than later. 202 00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:18,080 » Chamber of Commerce. >> Uh there was no new meeting, but I did 203 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,880 say at the last meeting I would provide a little bit of an update in the last 204 00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:23,760 one. I didn't have all the details with me after going through my notes. The 205 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:27,520 only thing I was going to really bring up was the Chamber of Commerce wants to 206 00:19:25,919 --> 00:19:33,200 get involved a little bit more with the community safety as well. We know it's a 207 00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:39,760 downtown core that is affected a lot by uh some of the citizens and happenings 208 00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:44,799 downtown. So, they want to we want to compile a list of practical lowcost 209 00:19:41,919 --> 00:19:49,120 solutions. um things like signage and lighting. Um turning off your Wi-Fi so 210 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:54,240 they don't have access to Wi-Fi in some of places that do have open Wi-Fi. Um 211 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:58,400 limiting water or power access for some of the people downtown that uh maybe 212 00:19:56,559 --> 00:20:02,480 don't have a place of their own. And also they want to work a little bit with 213 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:06,559 Alexis to maybe host a bit of a public forum from a business perspective, not 214 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:10,160 just from a town perspective, but try to spearhead a little bit more just from a 215 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:14,240 different angle. And that's the biggest one. Um Mr. 216 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:17,120 Bersha who was in he spoke with the transportation part but it's kind of the 217 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:20,880 ongoing conversation where there's really nothing further to add with that 218 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:25,360 but it was a good a lot of good dialogue going on. We had a couple local 219 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:29,360 businesses as well come to talk about the downtown safety and community safety 220 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:32,720 in general. A lot of good dialogue but not a lot to report on. It's 221 00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:36,320 » it's kind of that broken record in a sense the ongoing conversation but it's 222 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:39,280 nice to hear people are engaged and want to make a difference from that 223 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:43,200 conversation. uh one of the business owners will more than likely join the 224 00:20:40,799 --> 00:20:47,760 chamber as well to to take part in this. He is a member as a as a business but 225 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:52,880 wants to become part of the executive now possibly. 226 00:20:50,159 --> 00:20:57,440 » Just a side note from the chamber. We talked to a few businesses downtown and 227 00:20:54,720 --> 00:21:01,520 they commented they haven't seen the street sweeper out very much in the 228 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:05,840 downtown area. I know it's the museum corner is always bad. So maybe something 229 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:12,240 just check for Sam. I don't know if it's broken down or if it's just they're too 230 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:16,960 busy just it really once a day they should be going by there that downtown 231 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:20,000 area early in the morning before the cars are there 232 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:23,919 » that was brought forward to myself as well the street sweeper as well as the 233 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:26,400 trees. So thank you for including that as well 234 00:21:24,799 --> 00:21:30,320 » and I might as well add to it as well. I know that B and I have spoken something 235 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:34,480 that our fire department used to do was wash the sidewalks and clean the 236 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:37,760 downtown. that hasn't happened now in quite a number of years. So that would 237 00:21:36,159 --> 00:21:41,440 be also beneficial because it's not just our streets that have the dust. We can 238 00:21:39,919 --> 00:21:43,840 make the whole downtown look a little better. 239 00:21:41,919 --> 00:21:49,039 » I really want to talk about that and I really thank C manage for sharing from 240 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:55,679 your ideas and your experience. So I had that discussion with fire chief and said 241 00:21:52,080 --> 00:22:00,559 it's going to be good to see on the same day 242 00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:03,120 » CDC we were meeting on Monday. 243 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:10,159 » Okay. Um, and excuse me, destination marketing 244 00:22:07,919 --> 00:22:14,559 up pretty soon. >> Um, councelor Forester, do you know how 245 00:22:12,159 --> 00:22:20,440 much money is sitting in destination marketing for grant funding by chance? 246 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:28,000 » I don't. >> Okay. 247 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:32,640 Uh, Cedar Lake, we haven't had a meeting since our AGM that are reported at last 248 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:38,320 meeting. Okay. Recycling board, we haven't had a 249 00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:44,000 meeting, but one will be scheduled um this week and then we will bring forward 250 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:48,960 to the next council meeting. Library board counselor Allen is not 251 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:55,200 here. Kelsey school division, there's nothing to report and our youth 252 00:22:51,440 --> 00:23:00,919 counselor is not with us. So, we are completed with that. 253 00:22:57,919 --> 00:23:00,919 Um, 254 00:23:01,679 --> 00:23:07,960 now we'll move on to our monthly management report. 255 00:23:13,919 --> 00:23:18,760 Is does anybody have any questions 256 00:23:20,799 --> 00:23:29,919 in any of the areas? I have one towards um the airport. 257 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:34,159 It's not so much a question that's on this report. It's just a question in 258 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:39,520 general. Um, >> just let me 259 00:23:37,679 --> 00:23:44,559 » Oh, okay. >> Oh, yes. And we should introduce our new 260 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:48,000 airport manager as well. Maybe he can introduce himself. 261 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:52,320 » Yes. >> Hello. Can you hear me? 262 00:23:50,799 --> 00:23:57,200 Hello. >> Can you hear me? 263 00:23:54,480 --> 00:24:03,159 Hello? There we go. 264 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,159 » Hi. Can you hear me? 265 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:10,919 » Hello. >> Can you hear me? 266 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:18,960 » Okay. >> Hi. 267 00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:20,799 » Hello. >> There we go. 268 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,919 » Okay. Hi. >> Welcome. 269 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:27,360 » Thank you. Thank you uh honorable council members for having me tonight. 270 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:31,039 Uh thank you very much. Thank you for welcoming me uh in your beautiful 271 00:24:29,679 --> 00:24:37,120 community the other day when I was there. Um glad to be part of the team uh 272 00:24:34,559 --> 00:24:42,880 to support Bola and her operation uh for the town of Depo and um hopefully 273 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:46,279 contribute to a successful operation at the airport there. 274 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:56,240 So NASA is the new airport manager and he's the one 275 00:24:53,679 --> 00:25:01,760 placing tremor and he's been working with us with EK to 276 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:07,279 depart and is even coming in September for the barbecue program. 277 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:13,679 » So he's been working tirelessly for the department. So NASA is reporting is 278 00:25:11,039 --> 00:25:19,120 presenting the first quarter the second quarter for of airport report and if 279 00:25:16,559 --> 00:25:25,039 council have any question can ask NASA why is it now we'd like to 280 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:30,400 welcome you to the team and um welcome you to the great community at town of 281 00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:37,200 the paw and we hope that you're going to be here um as long as you well why 282 00:25:35,039 --> 00:25:40,080 should I say long term we'll just say that hopefully you're going to stay here 283 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:44,400 long term. But I do [clears throat] have a question. I'm really excited about 284 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:48,960 your mural and I'm hoping that that is almost completed. Um I look forward to 285 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:54,480 looking at it. But I do have a question about the access to um water at the 286 00:25:51,919 --> 00:26:01,200 airport. I had somebody mention over the weekend that um the water fountain is no 287 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:07,760 longer in service and I'm just curious to know if the water fountain is being 288 00:26:04,159 --> 00:26:11,840 put back on and if it isn't if um we could possibly get like maybe a water 289 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:16,400 cooler or something that we could provide water to the patrons with. I'm 290 00:26:14,559 --> 00:26:22,559 just curious. I don't think there is a water fountain 291 00:26:19,279 --> 00:26:27,279 currently, ma'am. But um as part of the overall revamping, we're um planning 292 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:30,880 it's more like a wish list at this time, but we're planning to have water 293 00:26:28,799 --> 00:26:37,120 dispensing station there for the water bottles and or a fountain as well. Um 294 00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:41,440 » that's that's projected so far in my wish list. 295 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:45,679 » Okay. Because we do that is one thing that we do need to provide. We need to 296 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:50,480 be able to provide some water to to the patrons 100%. Whether it be a fountain 297 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:55,840 or just a bottle or a cooler that has disposable glasses or something. 298 00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:59,360 » Okay. Yeah. If there was one, we'll we'll bring it back if if it goes 299 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:03,039 somewhere for whatever reasons, we'll bring it back if there was one. 300 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:07,840 » Thank you. Um, is there anything that you would like to present that it in 301 00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:14,320 your report since you're joining us tonight? Any highlights or anything new? 302 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:19,760 Um the murals are well in the progress. Uh so there's two murals that being 303 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:25,120 created right now at the airport. Um one is going to reflect um more cultural 304 00:27:22,559 --> 00:27:30,799 side of the town and one's going to be related more towards the aviation 305 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:35,919 industry and airport as well. So the second mural uh will be dedicated to a 306 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:41,760 first aircraft landed in the po in the po area there. Each mural will have a 307 00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:49,279 placard explaining each event uh individually on each wall. Uh we're 308 00:27:44,799 --> 00:27:56,480 hoping um to have it finished um first one should be done by the end of or 309 00:27:52,799 --> 00:28:01,039 second week of September. Um and the second mural should be done uh beginning 310 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:07,679 of October and that's due to artist availability unfortunately. Um but um 311 00:28:05,279 --> 00:28:14,399 projects are moving fairly well. Um and it's going to be um a major facelift for 312 00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:20,399 airport uh space there as well. Um on other site we are um moving along with 313 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:28,559 both RFPs for the airport sighting and airport flooring. Um we received a few 314 00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:34,480 uh inquiries about both both but um we only received one bid for the flooring 315 00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:40,159 so far yet. Um RFPs are to close by the end of August. So we hopefully we'll get 316 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:45,200 few more takers there as well. Um otherwise we're in the winter 317 00:28:42,799 --> 00:28:48,080 preparation uh pretty much right now um looking through the equipment and trying 318 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:53,360 to prepare ourselves for the winter season as much as possible. 319 00:28:51,039 --> 00:28:55,600 » Thank you. Councelor Hopper has um a comment. 320 00:28:54,320 --> 00:29:00,399 » You mentioned in your report that the seats are going to be coming in from 321 00:28:57,919 --> 00:29:04,080 Winnipeg airport be done 322 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:07,840 » after the flooring is done I assume. >> Correct. Correct. We're planning to 323 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:12,240 install the uh newer seats after the flooring is done and being a part of a 324 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:16,880 general facelift. >> Great. Uh highway sign the entrance to 325 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:21,440 the airport. >> That's also been part of the project 326 00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:25,760 that I picked up just recently um as well. We just had a conversation with 327 00:29:23,039 --> 00:29:31,360 Paul about this uh last week I believe and hoping we're hoping to have a 328 00:29:28,159 --> 00:29:34,320 resolution or much better detailed road map for the next council meeting. We're 329 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:40,880 actively going to work with it with Ebola and um we both agree that that 330 00:29:37,919 --> 00:29:46,000 that sign needs major upgrades or if not replacement 331 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:49,760 » and you understand that uh Trevor put a fairly high bar last year for fuel 332 00:29:47,919 --> 00:29:54,960 sales. How are you doing this year with the lack of fires? 333 00:29:51,840 --> 00:30:02,320 » Um I don't believe it's as quite high as last year. Um but fuel fuels are moving 334 00:29:59,039 --> 00:30:08,880 steadily. um you know on on the positive side no fires um and you know it's it's 335 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:12,880 I'll take that sacrifice I believe in instead instead of fighting the fires 336 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:17,120 but but the fuels are moving steadily I don't have I don't have stats on my of 337 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:22,960 hand uh here but it's it's steady movement there's no interruption yet 338 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:28,159 » okay well good luck to the new position >> thank you very much appreciate it 339 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:32,000 » any other council members have any questions for now. 340 00:30:31,279 --> 00:30:34,000 » Thank you. >> Thank you. 341 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,159 » Thank you very much. Thanks for having me. 342 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:40,080 » Thank you. >> Yes. Yes. 343 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:46,640 » Okay. >> Okay. So then, um, any other questions? 344 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:51,279 » I had a couple. Um, one thing that we haven't seen actually in quite some time 345 00:30:48,559 --> 00:30:55,120 is a building inspection report. We do basically have somebody doing B. We 346 00:30:53,679 --> 00:30:58,480 don't know what our growth is, what's happening, what's going on in town. But 347 00:30:57,279 --> 00:31:03,600 something that drew my attention to that was the secondary suite inspections on 348 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:07,520 the fire department report. That should obviously be a collaboration. So it' be 349 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:10,080 nice to see a building inspection report once in a while. I wouldn't expect them 350 00:31:08,799 --> 00:31:13,440 every month because a lot of times we don't have both a lot of things going 351 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:17,919 on. But it still would be nice to know that it is happening what's going on. Um 352 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:22,320 secondary suites of course need to happen with a building inspector as well 353 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:24,880 as a fire inspector unless you have both qualifications, but we know we don't 354 00:31:23,919 --> 00:31:30,159 have that right now. It's two individuals. 355 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:33,440 And something that I see almost every report 356 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:37,360 is both full-time staff are working on 357 00:31:35,679 --> 00:31:43,039 multiple fire investigations from previous fires. This was for July. There 358 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:47,200 was only one fire and a fire report should be done within at least a week 359 00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:52,080 meant maximum, right? So, I'm just curious if that's just a constant cut 360 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:56,480 and paste or if they're that far behind with fire fire investigations because 361 00:31:54,399 --> 00:32:00,880 again, you have one fire listed, but both are working on multiple 362 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:07,880 inspections. Just sounds of a lot. Not inspections, sorry, investigations. 363 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,880 They're important to be timely. 364 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:16,799 And one that isn't part of the report, it's more for uh knowledge. 365 00:32:14,399 --> 00:32:20,559 We don't have a mutual aid agreement with Moose Lake, but I've recently heard 366 00:32:18,799 --> 00:32:25,440 that there were a couple fires in Moose Lake in July at the beginning of August. 367 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:28,880 Did we attend those and help out or was any done? Because I know Moose Lake is 368 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:33,039 having some difficulties staffing and and operating. So, I'm just wondering if 369 00:32:30,399 --> 00:32:37,360 we have been able to help out running truck last year. 370 00:32:34,799 --> 00:32:39,760 » Usually things missing. >> You haven't heard anything? Okay. I was 371 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:43,200 just curious because I've heard of two homes burned down in loose lake and I 372 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:48,320 was just curious if we've been able to assist or if they're just 373 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:51,919 » yeah I don't >> it's not a question if we should or not. 374 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:55,440 It's just simply were we offering that assistance without having a mutual aid 375 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:59,399 agreement in place and I know we will attend without one but 376 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:20,720 No is not here. I want to commend them for the bike rodeo. It's a great idea. 377 00:33:19,679 --> 00:33:25,279 It's something that used to be held quite regularly in town. So to see the 378 00:33:22,799 --> 00:33:28,880 collaboration with the RCMP and uh the fire department is great to see get that 379 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:33,039 engagement that I think has been missing with the kids a lot. So 380 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:38,960 » I agree with you 100%. And and one thing that I did note on the poster for that 381 00:33:35,919 --> 00:33:42,720 is that the kids need to make sure that they bring their helmets 382 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,919 » to get that helmet. >> But well, by law you have to wear 383 00:33:44,159 --> 00:33:49,039 helmets now. They change that. A lot of people you see kids all over the place 384 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:52,000 without helmets. So hopefully that will bring the 385 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:57,200 » the number one time at least kids helmets. 386 00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:00,399 » I don't know. 30 years. >> I don't even remember the last time. 387 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:05,120 There hasn't been a bike rodeo I think since I've lived here. 388 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:12,079 » Not in 30 years I was bolt anyway. >> Yeah. And um hopefully um with the 389 00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:17,839 reminder with the bike helmets also um the scooters 390 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:21,359 » scooters need helmets as well. Y >> okay. [clears throat] 391 00:34:18,639 --> 00:34:24,720 So then are there any other questions around 392 00:34:22,879 --> 00:34:27,760 that or are we moving on to the CEO monthly report? 393 00:34:28,720 --> 00:34:35,280 Do you have any highlights that you'd like to share from your report? 394 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:40,480 » My highlight in July I travel for holiday. [laughter] 395 00:34:38,240 --> 00:34:46,720 So we actually got so many things done but reports um and the one that I just 396 00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:51,760 received is northern lights. We just received the agreements from our lawyer. 397 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,679 So we have to go through some stuff before we get back to them. 398 00:34:53,359 --> 00:34:58,079 » Okay. >> That was one of the big one. Good. 399 00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:04,160 » Then we reach out to the Rocky Lake regarding the fire protection agreement. 400 00:35:01,359 --> 00:35:08,079 Um council has already finalized. So we're just waiting for their for them to 401 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:14,079 sign. They've not gotten back to me. I sent a 402 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:19,280 was not then we implemented the immigration 403 00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:25,520 process we started last in July. That was one of our biggest projects that we 404 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:28,560 started in July. That's huge. 405 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:32,160 » It's supposed to go huge. >> Sorry, I don't want to change your flow. 406 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:35,760 What's going on, but just because we're moving down your list here, 407 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:39,440 » what is the issues with the library? It seems that we're getting quite often 408 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:43,599 closed. [clears throat] Is that strictly a staffing issue or is 409 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,599 it operations, but you'll see quite regular at least once a week we're 410 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,480 seeing >> the body maintenance? It's their 411 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,720 maintenance. So, we >> Well, it's not just maintenance. will 412 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:54,240 say, "Oh, we're closing at lunch today, or we're closing at this hour, or we 413 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:57,680 can't open this afternoon, or sorry, we have to close on this day." We seem to 414 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,760 get quite quite a bit notifications on social media that the library is 415 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,640 closing. So, I'm wondering if that's staffing or if it's something else going 416 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:05,640 on. >> Random. 417 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:12,480 » I'm just curious because I said more and more it seems that it's closing quite 418 00:36:10,079 --> 00:36:15,839 often. And I know lunchtime, everybody deserves a lunchtime, but it's also a 419 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:21,480 prime time for people that are working to go and attend our library. So, 420 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,480 Anything 421 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:33,280 else? You know what? I didn't I forgot the 422 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:38,240 order that um the SMS quarterly report was also in here for the airport and um 423 00:36:36,895 --> 00:36:44,720 [laughter] >> and and I'm trying I don't know if um 424 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:50,880 Nasar is still online with us or not in case anybody had any questions around 425 00:36:47,599 --> 00:36:55,280 » around that. So if he is logged out my apologies. Um 426 00:36:53,359 --> 00:36:59,920 I >> just the sequence of of the agenda threw 427 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:05,760 me for a loop and I forgot about it. So if council does have any questions um 428 00:37:03,119 --> 00:37:12,720 please present them to Bola and they can be answered. 429 00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:19,040 Okay, public safety um July 2026 safety snapshot. 430 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:24,880 So the essence of this one is um um we want to do more in term of 431 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:31,440 informing the residents about our safety report. So we are just planning to be 432 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:35,920 bringing this out the kind of a monthly report from the safety department. The 433 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:40,320 council will still be receiving their reports based on whatever formats that 434 00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:44,320 the level of the details that the council wanted but this is for public to 435 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:49,599 see. So that they'll be able to know how how 436 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:53,839 are our CS how are they doing in term of reporting? What exactly are they doing? 437 00:37:51,839 --> 00:37:58,160 Are they just driving around the town? What are the things they are doing? What 438 00:37:55,280 --> 00:38:03,760 would what do they like them to do or ask any questions? So we want to be 439 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:08,800 giving residents this information every month. So this will be our first one. 440 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:12,320 But before we put it on our public place, we just want to share this with 441 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:16,880 council as well as anyone that is watching us. I like what this looks like 442 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:24,000 and I'm also looking forward to seeing the amount of foot patrols. 443 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:30,079 » Council has asked um I want to say four meetings in a row now for foot patrols 444 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:36,160 and if they have been going on and we're not seeing any reporting on it. So by us 445 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:40,960 not seeing reporting I'm assuming that possibly they aren't happen or there 446 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:44,960 could be a hundred of them but we're just not getting that that answer. 447 00:38:44,079 --> 00:38:50,000 » Okay. >> I I can add to that that I have seen 448 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:53,359 them else. I can't say how many times but they have been doing book patrols. 449 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,440 So >> okay 450 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:59,359 » and actually the RCMP have been doing them too. So 451 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:04,240 » and I'll say yes I really like the snapshot. good for the consumer to be 452 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:09,680 reading, not just for us. But yeah, we are missing some details for our own 453 00:39:06,079 --> 00:39:15,119 purposes. U again, repeatedly we're asking about the boot boots for 454 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:19,839 vehicles, right, for ticketing to have a better uh success rate with downtown 455 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:24,720 parking especially. So, I really like I like the snapshot. 456 00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:30,880 It gives a good overview and uh shows the community the good in our our area, 457 00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:33,280 but we still need those other less favorable 458 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:38,160 » things, >> but that's really good for that. 459 00:39:36,079 --> 00:39:41,400 » Council, is there anything? 460 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:48,280 » Do you have anything to say? Looks good. 461 00:39:51,680 --> 00:40:02,567 » Okay. So then um 10.2.3 RCMP stats are there as well 462 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:06,160 as the mayor's report for June. [clears throat] 463 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:11,119 Did anyone have any questions around it? We don't really have um 464 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:15,359 anyone here who can answer to them or speak to them. So, it's just basically 465 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:20,480 there for information. I >> guess just on the one on the police 466 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:24,320 report, uh when the local RCMP detachment took over duties for Swan 467 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:29,599 River North, >> if there was any cost, I'm sure that the 468 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:35,680 staff sergeant would have uh sent those down to Swan River, but just in case 469 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:42,720 they didn't, hopefully they didn't get charged for it. Okay, 470 00:40:39,839 --> 00:40:49,480 » good point. I'm sure they use a different quotator 471 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:49,480 for that. Just never 472 00:40:51,200 --> 00:41:01,040 unfinished business. Um, there's nothing there. General business. 473 00:40:58,079 --> 00:41:07,359 Uh, citizens period. All our friends have left us. It's only us here. And we 474 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:11,200 now move into committee of the ball. >> Just before you do that, just unfinished 475 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:19,040 business. Okay. >> Can we get the uh Skipiel cradles taken 476 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:24,480 out before winter or by winter ground? >> I have to close 477 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:27,480 » before the snow gets new that way. Okay. 478 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:34,440 Committee of the whole. 479 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:46,000 » Councelor Hopper, would you like to move us into committee of the whole? 480 00:41:43,119 --> 00:41:50,160 » Council can now move in committees for discussion. 481 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:58,160 » Next time it'll be your turn, then your turn, then your turn. We'll just rotate 482 00:41:52,480 --> 00:42:02,720 through. Okay. So then um 14.1.1 we're now going to move into public 483 00:41:59,839 --> 00:42:08,640 works and maintenance. Do we need to bring anybody into the room for any of 484 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:11,640 this? Um county paw water turnoff procedure. 485 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:29,440 For future reference if you just tap on um the number 14 where it says committee 486 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:34,079 of the whole then it'll pop up in case somebody doesn't know what the spiel is 487 00:42:31,359 --> 00:42:38,800 with it and and it'll be there >> enough time [clears throat] 488 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:44,400 » 100%. So 14.1.1 um we now have our superintendent with 489 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:51,280 us for the town of the paw turnoff water procedure. We have an issue sheet that's 490 00:42:46,720 --> 00:42:55,200 been brought forward and um you can go ahead and present it. Yeah. 491 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:59,680 So, the question had come up uh does the town have a proper procedure or are 492 00:42:57,359 --> 00:43:04,319 there ways that we can go about um not allowing water accounts to reach a point 493 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:08,720 of uh no return, I guess. >> Um so, the public utility board has it 494 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:13,359 baked right into their policies and procedures. So after reviewing our bylaw 495 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:18,400 and our schedule A, which was the PUB approval of our rates, uh it spoke to 496 00:43:16,240 --> 00:43:24,079 the document that you see attached that speaks to the process in order to uh 497 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:29,599 implement a water shut off. Um so whether we use that as the stick uh to 498 00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:34,240 ensure that someone account doesn't get uh to that level of delinquency. Um 499 00:43:32,240 --> 00:43:37,920 there's a process to follow. it does become a little more complicated when it 500 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:41,359 comes to multi-unit uh dwellings, especially when there's children 501 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:44,480 involved. Um, and those are probably discussions that you just need to have 502 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:49,839 with public utility board before you move ahead too quickly. Um, but uh 503 00:43:48,319 --> 00:43:53,680 luckily there's no need to amend our bylaw or make any changes. The way it's 504 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:58,640 written, the way it's laid out, it all sort of flows into it. Um so that's been 505 00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:03,520 passed along to our CFO or sorry air controller uh to discuss with the 506 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:09,440 utility clerk in terms of the ensuring that they implement this process moving 507 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:13,280 forward. >> Yeah ultimately come back to council if 508 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:19,040 we're going to terminate services to safety business for 509 00:44:16,720 --> 00:44:23,920 resident possibly. I'd have to the controller 510 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:27,599 would have to review that. I think >> that just I'm thinking like a business 511 00:44:25,839 --> 00:44:30,560 ultimately want to put a business out of business because they're out of 512 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:34,560 business. >> If it was up to me, I definitely 513 00:44:31,839 --> 00:44:39,280 wouldn't be turning off any business >> but discussion with council 514 00:44:37,119 --> 00:44:45,359 as you mentioned stick. It's a tool we can use to try to encourage them to pay 515 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:48,960 and not get as far behind. >> Correct. as you can imagine getting once 516 00:44:47,359 --> 00:44:52,560 you get a little bit behind it can kind of snowball become sort of overwhelming. 517 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:56,640 So yeah, we definitely know it's time to do it. So 518 00:44:55,119 --> 00:45:02,560 » So it's good to see that this is being worked on and I see that um the clerk as 519 00:45:00,079 --> 00:45:06,560 well as the controller will be looking into it further. 520 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:13,920 » Yeah. >> Anybody else have any questions? No. 521 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:16,920 Okay. Um 14.3.1 522 00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:30,880 deputy mayor compensation. >> Yes. Um I prepared this official sheet 523 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:37,599 since um deputy mayor be acting as mayor and attending the meeting as so so many 524 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:42,160 other mayor did this. I'm proposing that deputy mayor should be compensated as 525 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:47,440 male and the and so that was why I brought 526 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:51,839 out this issue sheet and the how much the difference in term of amount I think 527 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:55,480 it should be everything has been stated is about $500 528 00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:04,160 so I'm bringing this to council for review and their comment decision 529 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:14,640 If you like, I'll start. >> Um, I'm just going to be very blunt. I 530 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:21,440 was shocked to see this on the agenda. I find I find it highly inappropriate 531 00:46:18,240 --> 00:46:27,119 for an employee to ask to give their boss a raise. That is completely 532 00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:32,240 unethical and unheard of to basically petition to have your boss 533 00:46:30,720 --> 00:46:37,520 get a raise. I would have addressed it differently 534 00:46:34,720 --> 00:46:42,240 had it come from a member of council to say hey this is how I feel and that is 535 00:46:39,599 --> 00:46:48,000 but to come from the employee is highly inappropriate and not at all 536 00:46:46,079 --> 00:46:53,200 reasonable um to speak to the points made in the 537 00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:57,680 issue sheet because it is here in front of us. 538 00:46:55,520 --> 00:47:01,440 The deputy mayor receives approximately $100 per month more than a regular 539 00:46:59,359 --> 00:47:05,920 counselor, right? Based on your information provided. 540 00:47:03,359 --> 00:47:09,839 Uh counselor, sorry, deputy mayor Atkinson has been in the position for 541 00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:14,560 two years. I can't remember if you were appointed right after um the two council 542 00:47:13,359 --> 00:47:18,640 left or if there was some leadway. Either way, approximately two years, 543 00:47:17,119 --> 00:47:24,240 which would have increased the pay of $2,400. Um, we were fortunate enough to 544 00:47:21,599 --> 00:47:28,800 have a very committed mayor in the seat who didn't miss a lot. Obviously, he had 545 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:33,119 other obligations in life and he was away a little bit, but essentially the 546 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:37,200 deputy mayor did receive $2,400 additional compensation from other 547 00:47:34,720 --> 00:47:41,599 counselors that you can almost call a prepayment is the way I look at it from 548 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:48,480 a financial perspective. The dollars at the end of the day don't mean a lot. Um, 549 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:53,520 something I want to address also in the role 550 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:59,760 something we do as counselors to bring our points across to make change in our 551 00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:05,119 community to address the issues we have. Every 552 00:48:01,359 --> 00:48:10,160 community has many issues. This is not meant to draw negative 553 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:13,119 attention, but in 8 years, Deputy Mayor Atinson has brought two issue sheets 554 00:48:11,599 --> 00:48:17,839 forward, both written by other individuals. 555 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:21,520 One was written by me and the other one was simply 556 00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:25,200 hey the west would like to have their planter filled this year and they would 557 00:48:23,119 --> 00:48:30,319 like to do that. That to me does not show a vision or a leadership that would 558 00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:34,559 deserve additional compensation at this time. Eight years and two issue sheets 559 00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:39,680 which both happened one or both happened in 2021. 560 00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:44,720 uh just shows that I am completely fine with Deputy Mayor 561 00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:52,000 Atinson sitting in the role that she chose to stay in. Uh she was appointed 562 00:48:48,720 --> 00:48:56,559 by the mayor which I felt was right. She was 563 00:48:54,240 --> 00:49:01,520 confirmed by resolution to fill that role and she has and we've agreed to 564 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:06,480 carry on that because when you read exactly what the deputy mayor's job is 565 00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:10,480 is to fill the role even in vacancy of the seat not just to fill in when he's 566 00:49:08,319 --> 00:49:16,319 not available but when they are even vacant therefore I don't see any need to 567 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:20,800 change a structure finances and if there's opposition to that then anybody 568 00:49:18,559 --> 00:49:23,599 who is opposite is here for their own reasons because I 569 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:28,559 don't think anyone sits at this table for the money. 570 00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:34,720 Um, I will proudly say I am the only one individual that has opposed every raise, 571 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:41,480 but if she was to receive this raise, it would essentially give a 65% raise in 572 00:49:38,319 --> 00:49:41,480 two years. 573 00:49:42,240 --> 00:49:49,520 » Well, thank you, Councilman. And I just want to address I will not address if 574 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:54,800 I'm not a counselor but I only address the administrative part that you 575 00:49:51,280 --> 00:50:01,359 mentioned the first one u if you notice when um want to like 576 00:49:58,559 --> 00:50:05,200 give her council like Louis said it's always come like we always bring this 577 00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:09,359 forward as an administration >> by resolution because it's part of our 578 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:15,119 » same way is the same way I'm bringing this forward. I'm not giving race to my 579 00:50:12,240 --> 00:50:19,520 boss. That's what it is to clear that with you. So last year when we went to 580 00:50:17,599 --> 00:50:21,920 propose like race for council after the administration I brought the issue 581 00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:25,760 sheets forward. >> The issue she brought forward due to our 582 00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:30,240 bylaw stating that each year the council would review this. Nowhere do we have a 583 00:50:27,839 --> 00:50:34,720 bylaw that states hey as an employee like it would be inappropriate for Han 584 00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:38,720 Vir to come to you and say hey my boss is a really good guy you should give him 585 00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:43,760 a raise. because that looks towards favoritism. That looks towards 586 00:50:41,839 --> 00:50:48,480 Deputy Mayor Atinson potentially being our next mayor by election and you've 587 00:50:46,720 --> 00:50:51,359 kind of pulled a big favor and that's how it looks from the perception. I'm 588 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:56,480 not saying that's what you have done, but that is the perception that is 589 00:50:52,960 --> 00:51:00,960 given. Any employee asking their boss or telling their boss deserves a raise, it 590 00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:07,200 does not look good at all. Anyway, I would just say it in my home when I'm 591 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:10,160 away if Laura is acting for me or anyone they have to get certain percentage of 592 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,920 my income >> when you do the job for a certain period 593 00:51:11,359 --> 00:51:15,839 of time. Yes. >> Yes. So that is what I'm trying to do 594 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:20,400 here. So now thank you for the correction but this is what I'm trying 595 00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:27,599 to do as an administrator. Not I'm giving councelor manage 5%. I do not 596 00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:34,160 have that power. So I if I may all of this being said I have not requested 597 00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:40,400 this this increase. I have not submitted for any of the other things that I have 598 00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:47,119 did in the community. Um it councilor manage is making it sound like you know 599 00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:52,079 what let let's just stop where we are and we'll bring to resolution and we'll 600 00:51:49,119 --> 00:51:55,760 vote. So we'll bring back to the next meeting 601 00:51:53,839 --> 00:52:00,400 for resolution and we'll just vote on it. 602 00:51:58,240 --> 00:52:05,200 14.3.2 linkages skills for the north issue 603 00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:10,160 sheet. >> So the reason I'm bringing this issue 604 00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:17,119 sheet um is this is the linkages program that will happen every year and this 605 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:23,440 year it will happen by October 6 and 7. I would highly recommend if council some 606 00:52:20,079 --> 00:52:27,520 member of council can attend this. I have already registered as an 607 00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:30,559 administrator but as a council it will be good if we can have some council 608 00:52:29,359 --> 00:52:35,520 member. >> So you have enough if every council 609 00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:39,359 member wanted to attend. >> Yes they can register. 610 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:44,319 » Okay. So then >> I have to 611 00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:49,599 be my >> I have already stated my what I'm going 612 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:55,040 to beending. >> So anybody who will be attending um 613 00:52:51,839 --> 00:53:00,000 please reach out to Bola and they can get registered. 614 00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:04,480 14.3 Tricom community event and temporary 615 00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:10,400 parking lot closure. >> Yes. Um I received this request from 616 00:53:07,359 --> 00:53:15,520 Sher and they will be doing a program regarding 617 00:53:12,079 --> 00:53:20,720 um cultural September and they'll be having some program at the I think at 618 00:53:18,720 --> 00:53:27,359 the park over here. I've already given the approval but according to our I have 619 00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:31,119 to let the council know about it. Our municipal superintendent is aware of 620 00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:35,920 this fire department is aware of this. So I'm just giving this update cancel. 621 00:53:34,079 --> 00:53:41,520 You might be driving here on that day and just see people want it to be like 622 00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:43,599 oh what's happening here. >> Perfect. 623 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:51,720 » Thank you. >> Like good times 624 00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:51,720 are always market. 625 00:53:52,559 --> 00:53:57,400 » That is it for today. 626 00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:05,200 if somebody can move us into the encamped portion of our meeting.
