And before we begin, I'd like to highlight 199 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:31,000 the purpose of our meetings and the roles here. We strive to uphold the 200 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:34,760 values of Three Rivers community, innovation, and inclusion. We have a 201 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,920 special town and council [clears throat] is committed to contributing to 202 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,920 sustainable growth. Council meetings are essential to our 203 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:46,320 governance process, providing transparency in decision-making. 204 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:51,880 Elected officials uh discuss finances, events, town maintenance, design, and 205 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:55,640 bylaws, then pass votes on proposals. As mayor, I lead the council and break tie 206 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:59,120 votes if needed. Residents are encouraged to attend and 207 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:03,280 participate, ensuring everyone can be part of the governance process. We value 208 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:07,185 your input and aim to maintain a respectful and professional environment. 209 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:10,360 Personal attacks and attacks [clears throat] and disruptions will not 210 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:15,120 be tolerated. So, let's make these meetings a reflect reflecting of our uh 211 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:21,360 pride in Three Rivers. Um okay, our first speaker tonight is uh 212 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:28,720 Janice MacPherson, she has a question on our last meeting agenda, I think. 213 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,720 Welcome, George. 214 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,720 » Hi, good evening. Can you hear me? There's no sound. 215 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,960 » Uh You can push the button. 216 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:45,360 There. Now your button works. >> I Yeah, it was actually questions. It 217 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:48,840 was actually plural statement. Um but they're pretty easy. So, 218 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:53,240 um Good evening. My name's Janice MacBetham 219 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:58,000 from Three Rivers and I have some comments and questions regarding last 220 00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:02,840 month's council meeting that I attended as there was no video or replay um going 221 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:07,080 from my notes. Um 222 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:11,640 So, at last month's council meeting, uh there was going to be approval to 223 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:16,200 amend or sorry, uh the reserve fund bylaw amendment and the establishment of 224 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:20,400 an operating reserve. And that operating reserve is for 225 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:25,120 $430,000, which was 10% of the operational budget. 226 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:30,480 And this was going to be set aside for unforeseen expenses with the town. 227 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:34,240 And uh this is a substantial amount of money. 228 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:38,640 So, my question regarding this issue is where is the money coming from? 229 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:42,040 And what would an example be of an unforeseen expense? 230 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:48,080 Um Second item from last council meeting, 231 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,760 uh it was interesting to listen to Marie 232 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:56,560 Worth from Georgetown. She spoke about being inconvenienced by 233 00:16:54,280 --> 00:17:01,240 having to go to the Welcome Center at 34 Water Street to pay her utility bill 234 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:05,160 instead of the Georgetown town office due to insufficient staff. 235 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:09,959 She noted that the Welcome Center offered no sidewalk access. 236 00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:14,199 In addition, she advised there was no signature on four out of five receipts 237 00:17:13,079 --> 00:17:18,880 that she had been given from the town of Three Rivers 238 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:21,959 in the past few years. My first question regarding her 239 00:17:20,360 --> 00:17:25,400 statements is is the town office in Georgetown going 240 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:30,080 to be closed as was the welcome center in Montague 241 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:35,560 without notice because some counselors say there are low numbers 242 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:40,480 or folks to provide service for. And then my the second part of that 243 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:45,080 question is how many signing authorities does the town have? 244 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:50,960 And does the town have in place a best practices document to deal with such 245 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:56,040 things as signing authority, credit cards, reporting receipts? 246 00:17:53,880 --> 00:18:00,840 And what percentage of payments to the town are by cash or check? 247 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:07,080 My final question actually references the CAO report as 248 00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:12,360 was online. And I noticed that while the amendments 249 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:17,640 have been widely touted as housekeeping amendments, there are major changes that 250 00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:23,240 have been approved with the amendments. Tonight I've asked for just some 251 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:28,880 commentary, please, from the CAO or any member of council if they could please 252 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:31,800 comment on the change to the definition of group home. 253 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:39,880 So, I would like that explained um 254 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:46,040 how you see this fitting in our community, how it can, may, or will 255 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:49,560 impact all residents in almost all residential zones. 256 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:59,058 » Okay, that's a lot of questions. So, um if you want to pass something in so we 257 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,400 can get back to you, >> [snorts] 258 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:05,080 » um or we can uh >> Well, some things were you know, I was 259 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:10,520 going to find out about like where is the money coming from for the 260 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,520 operational reserve? That's an easy one. 261 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,960 » Done? >> Okay. 262 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,960 » Yeah. Yeah. 263 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:24,960 » So we have a surplus from years gone by that 264 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:29,360 is not right now it's sitting in the bank our bank accounts. 265 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,360 Um 266 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:34,640 Um >> And that surplus would cover that that 267 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:38,080 $430,000? >> Yes, it would. 268 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:42,040 And so at this point we're just it's not going to move out of the bank accounts. 269 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:45,600 It's going to still going to generate interest. It's just going to be 270 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:49,080 earmarked for future >> unforeseen expenses yes including legal 271 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,280 fees. >> If there was if it was unforeseen and 272 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,920 not budgeted for yes. >> Okay. 273 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:59,200 Um my other question is do you have a best 274 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:02,160 practice document for dealing with payments? 275 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:06,800 » Oh yes, we do. If you're asking about sign authorities and how many we do. 276 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,680 If you would like that we >> It's just a matter of how many people 277 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:12,960 sign putting their names on the receipts and so on. 278 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:17,840 » So the rece- our our receipts currently the reason why it wasn't is it just it 279 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:21,600 says the customer's name uh 280 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:25,520 what they're paying for utility and it says down the bottom because we have 281 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:30,840 nine eight entities. It will have a choice of who it's for and how they 282 00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:34,520 paid. And there's not an actual spot for a signature. That will be changed and 283 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:38,600 right now we are putting our signature down at the bottom. 284 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:41,480 Um signing a receipt that we took money for does not require 285 00:20:41,239 --> 00:20:45,640 » [clears throat] >> uh it's different than when you're 286 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:48,920 asking about sign authority on account. >> So anyone basically can that's in 287 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,080 » As long as they're taking a taking the payment yes. 288 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:55,440 » Okay. And then can you get me the percentage of payments that are made by 289 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:57,680 cash versus development permit payments? >> I would have to get back to you on that. 290 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:01,000 » Sure. I'll see that on my email. >> James, can can you address me and then I 291 00:21:00,120 --> 00:21:03,600 can address that to you. >> Oh I thought you meant for me to address 292 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,280 her >> Just on the first question really. 293 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,680 » I'm sorry. >> Yeah, that's okay. That's fine. Yeah. 294 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:13,160 » My my error. Um Um 295 00:21:10,360 --> 00:21:17,240 so I guess it's just it I I just like to comment then for the definition to a 296 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:19,240 group home to explain. >> Okay, we can do that. 297 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:23,600 » Okay. >> Yeah, go ahead, Lee. 298 00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:27,240 » Thank you, Worship. It's quite simple. Uh we've removed the threshold for 299 00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:31,200 number of occupants within the building. So 300 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:36,000 currently the occupancy for group home is now anyone who's living under 301 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:39,080 supervision. Previously, it was up to four. 302 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:43,400 Uh so the group home provision is now much stricter. 303 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:46,640 It's simple as that. >> Um 304 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:50,080 So so in my interpretation that I've read it wrong 305 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:55,680 because what you've done with the group home definition is you've taken out the 306 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:59,680 exclusion for halfway houses and homeless shelters. 307 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:03,400 So it's actually less stringent 308 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:07,560 and it's allowed in all residential zones. This is something that I brought 309 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:10,800 up um during the amendment uh 310 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:14,960 chatter. And so I think there's eight zones that 311 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:21,080 homeless shelters are now allowed in. R1, R2, R3, multi-use, rural, rural 312 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:24,920 residential. So my concern is a pretty valid concern 313 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:29,120 and I don't feel that that's a housekeeping 314 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:33,840 situation. That's the situation where you can build a $600,000 house in an R1 315 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:37,480 zone in Mount Pleasant or Georgetown and a homeless shelter can be placed there 316 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:41,000 because that's one of the bylaw amendments. Am I correct to say that? 317 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,880 » Um Ridley, can you answer that for Janice? 318 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:47,520 » Worship, uh that's incorrect because we've made no amendments to the 319 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:51,760 permitted use lists with respect to group home. We've changed the definition 320 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:56,680 of group home to make it more stringent and more restrictive. We have not 321 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:59,800 altered where they are permitted. >> Okay. 322 00:22:57,120 --> 00:23:06,320 » With all due respect, I have a minute I I was at the meeting when Councillor Van 323 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:13,360 Donkersgoed read the email from a Green Party executive person to delete 324 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:21,320 the exclusion. Therefore, the group home definition now will and can apply to be 325 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:25,960 a homeless shelter or a halfway house. That exclusion has been removed in the 326 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:31,560 bylaw amendments. It was an very 327 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:35,720 closed definition, and now that definition has been opened up. 328 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:40,080 Is this part of the head housing accelerator fund? 329 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:44,440 » I guess James if we can't agree on it, I'm not sure 330 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:48,720 if our opinion is different than yours, I don't know where we go from here. 331 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:52,840 Lee has Lee has given his explanation and he's a lot 332 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,800 a lot more knowledgeable on this than I am, so I guess we'll just have to leave 333 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,360 it at >> Perhaps could you ask the planning chair 334 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,560 if she'd like to comment on that? I was at the meeting. 335 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,600 » Yeah. No, I'm not going to ask the planning chair at this time. 336 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,480 » Thank you. >> Um 337 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:08,240 » So so just to confirm then, there will be no homeless shelters or halfway 338 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:11,520 houses allowed within the town of Three Rivers? I'd 339 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:15,440 like to get that on record. I've heard that before. 340 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:20,440 » I don't think anybody said that. Lee 341 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,440 Just just 342 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,360 Sure, go ahead. >> Um 343 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:31,840 um your worship, I would like to say that um there is no plan that I know of 344 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:37,080 as a counselor or as my position of as chair of planning board that anybody is 345 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:41,520 looking to open a shelter at the moment. But if somebody was to come to Three 346 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:45,120 Rivers to look after the most vulnerable of our community, I would not be opposed 347 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:49,360 to helping them. >> There's your answer. Thank you very 348 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,360 much. 349 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:55,480 » Thank you. Okay, our next speaker is 350 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:05,400 One minute, please. Our next speaker is Kathy McKenzie. I'd 351 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,400 ask you to come to the podium, Kathy. 352 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:11,120 And I believe your topic is job losses. 353 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:20,520 » Is this turned on? >> Uh no, you'll have to uh 354 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,520 hit the button there. 355 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,280 » Right? >> No. 356 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,960 » The right one? >> The right? 357 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:30,480 No. That's it. Yeah. Can you just state your name for our records here, Kathy, 358 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:34,840 and where you live? >> Some of you already know I'm here. Uh my 359 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:39,960 name is Kathy McKenzie. I was born and raised here in Montague. 360 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:45,120 I've worked in different places in this town as well as had my own hairdressing 361 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:50,280 business a long time ago. I moved away for a while and returned 362 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:54,440 hopefully to retire here someday. But with all the shenanigans lately, 363 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:58,720 I've considered moving to Alberta with my youngest daughter, Kelsey. 364 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:02,920 I'm trying to stick it out here. I have several grandchildren in my area. 365 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:06,360 One I have with me for the night who's four and that's why I look like I do. 366 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:10,280 Um and they'd hate to see me leave as well 367 00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:15,520 as two other kids. Um so I was a very happy employee at the 368 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:19,360 station uh uh uh Honestly, it was a pleasure going to 369 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:22,040 work. Mike and Joe and here are the kind of employees [snorts] 370 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:26,760 who treats us with the utmost respect. 371 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:31,880 They hand out bonuses for going above and beyond. Always appreciative. 372 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:35,880 And actually, they've become like family to me. 373 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:40,360 They even took care of my dog when she was dying, my dog Gemma, when I had to 374 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:45,640 go to Calgary to visit my daughter. They offered both my daughters part-time 375 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:48,680 work at the waterfront this summer. They greet all my grandkids when they 376 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:53,960 come to visit me and give them little jobs to do and 377 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:59,400 and treats and I don't know. I'm standing behind it 378 00:26:55,280 --> 00:27:03,360 100% on this whole thing. I planned on another successful season down here at 379 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:07,960 the Waterfront. We were getting busier every season. 380 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:12,880 Even I even got my passport for my first trip down south this winter. 381 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:18,600 But obviously that's gone south. I also wanted to express my shock and 382 00:27:16,120 --> 00:27:23,320 disappointment at a counselor about their remark about a couple of 383 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:28,040 jobs were lost down there. There were way more than a couple, sir. 384 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:32,440 As far as I was taught, a couple is two. 385 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:36,880 Maybe this person might need a math tutor. 386 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:41,040 Acting like this is no big deal, I think was said. 387 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:44,120 It is a big deal. Hopefully in the fall we can get some new clowns as another 388 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:49,280 member of I believe the Waterfront Committee 389 00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:53,720 was called people on social media. New clowns for this circus. Sounds 390 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:59,120 awesome to me. I do hope you all enjoy your trips down 391 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,120 south this winter like me. 392 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:07,299 » Thank you. Um next we have Mike and Jody and I think 393 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,400 uh >> [clears throat and cough] 394 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,840 » it's on social to do with social media. 395 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,840 » Yes. 396 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:26,280 All right. Good evening everyone. My name is Jody 397 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:29,600 King. Uh I'm here this evening to speak regarding 398 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:32,400 conduct of committee members on social media. 399 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:35,960 Over the past several months our family, our business, and our community have 400 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:40,120 experienced conduct that we believe falls well below the standard expected 401 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:43,880 of individuals serving in these positions. 402 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:48,320 The Town of Three Rivers Code of Conduct requires members of council committees 403 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:51,520 and directors of controlled operations to uphold [clears throat] the highest 404 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:55,560 standards of ethical behavior, treat others with respect, inspire 405 00:28:53,640 --> 00:29:00,720 public confidence, and avoid intimidation, verbal abuse, and other 406 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:04,520 improper conduct. We have also 407 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:10,240 observed the use of fake Facebook accounts to target us as well as other 408 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:15,200 members of the public. In addition, we believe a committee member has engaged 409 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:20,520 in conduct intended to intimidate and verbally abuse members of the community. 410 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:23,440 The evidence we have seen includes [clears throat] public social 411 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:27,320 media posts containing personal name-calling, derogatory and 412 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:32,360 inappropriate language, statements that could be reasonably interpreted as 413 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:36,380 threatening, and references in which the individual describes himself as a 414 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:38,640 vigilant. >> [clears throat] 415 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:43,160 » This matter is not about differing opinions or criticism. Healthy debate is 416 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:46,720 part of the community. The issue is whether someone 417 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:51,040 representing a municipal controlled corporation should engage in this type 418 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:53,720 of public conduct while serving in a position [clears throat] of public 419 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:58,040 trust.

Thank you. 429 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,600 » If you want to um >> [cough] 430 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,280 » pass your [clears throat] complaint in tonight, that would be 431 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,000 » Yeah. >> Yeah? 432 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,840 » Who would >> it? 433 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,840 » Um, you can give it to the CAO. 434 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,360 Okay. >> Questions?

I've had 436 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,680 enough derogatory things said about me that 437 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,040 I guess that's the way it goes. It's like 438 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,920 » It's not on. >> It's not on, is it? 439 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:17,920 » We got to keep it We got to keep it professional, 440 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,400 right? We want what's best for the community. 441 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:24,480 » I wish. Yeah. >> Yeah. 442 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,480 » Yeah. Okay, thank you. 443 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:32,280 Okay. Um >> [clears throat] 444 00:31:30,351 --> 00:31:38,960 [cough] >> Next, we're going to move on to um the 445 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:43,760 mayor's report, which is in your in your package. I'll just go over some 446 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:49,680 of the highlights. Um, baseball fields are still busy. We have fields in use in 447 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:53,960 Cardigan, Georgetown, and Montague. Um, big soccer tournament this weekend. Lots 448 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:59,120 of traffic, I know. I've heard some people wondering why the town was so 449 00:31:55,680 --> 00:32:04,160 busy, but that's soccer tournament is a welcome addition to the town, and I'm 450 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:07,840 sure it makes positive impact on our economy. 451 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:13,960 I attended several games at the Cardigan complex this year, and I was really 452 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:17,880 impressed with the fields. We now have people there on weekends and dedicated 453 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:22,720 staff. So, but it is a big job. We're we're not 454 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:26,120 perfect. There is eight fields to look after. 455 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:30,640 As we use the Montague fields now as well at the high school. So, it is a big 456 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:35,040 job. I want to congratulate several Clippers teams, and I I don't I only 457 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:40,400 know one of them. I'm not going to say name it, but uh is some teams that are 458 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:44,440 doing really well and are fundraising to uh travel to off-island tournaments. So, 459 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:48,880 that's great to see that uh ball association is um 460 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:52,880 has teams of that caliber. It's um makes me personally very uh proud of what we 461 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:56,920 do here in Three Rivers. Uh the Georgetown and Montague festivals both 462 00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:01,320 went well. Um I can't thank the volunteers enough. Um 463 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:04,200 I know there there is some disappointment in the Montague parade. 464 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:07,480 Um we you know, we noticed that there was 465 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:13,360 not very many entries, which is a disappointment. So, I think um maybe 466 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:16,400 we'll do a brief survey uh of what people would like to see. Do we need 467 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:19,480 three parades? Is there something else that would 468 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:23,840 better suit um you know, uh the Montague uh 469 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:28,000 stuff Saturday morning in Montague rather than a parade? I know the 470 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:32,400 Blueberry Festival parade was the same day, and that definitely has an impact 471 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:36,400 on it. But anyway, we'll we'll see what um we'll give residents a chance to have 472 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:40,320 a say and if they want to do things differently. 473 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:45,320 Um I've received so much great feedback from the drone show that was part of the 474 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:49,960 Montague Arts and Culture Festival. Um Dog owners, persons with on the autism 475 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:55,000 spectrum, they're concerned with those concerned with the environmental 476 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:59,280 impacts. Um and just very positive. I got an email from one parent that said 477 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:03,520 that it was the first time his child was in um able to enjoy any kind of a light 478 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:07,120 show like that. So, that's [clears throat] um that's 479 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:11,360 very um encouraging. The dog park's open, getting some great pictures from 480 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:15,600 the dog owners on how everybody's enjoying that. Um 481 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:20,760 So, that's a great addition to our community as well. 482 00:34:17,159 --> 00:34:25,159 I was honored to attend the 2026 Council Federation uh welcome reception on July 483 00:34:22,879 --> 00:34:29,840 21st at the Confed Centre.

Any questions on that report or 542 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,160 for staff? 543 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:54,360 Okay. Okay. 544 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:59,480 Uh next is our um planning board report, and I'll turn that over to Councillor 545 00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:03,680 Baxter. >> Thank you very much, Worship. Um 546 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:08,520 before I start the um planning board report, I would like to make comments 547 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:12,720 about a video that's been circulating recently by a resident in the community. 548 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:16,040 Brings up a number of issues to do with planning, zoning, taxation, and 549 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:20,360 population. I was referenced in this video in my 550 00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:23,800 role as chair of the planning board, and since I I was brought into it, I'd like 551 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,760 to make a few comments. Um 552 00:39:24,577 --> 00:39:28,440 » [snorts] >> the resident will be pleased to learn 553 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:32,800 that the 2024 development bylaw amendments have been approved by the 554 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:37,200 province, and so the institutional zone no longer includes the phrase complete 555 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:40,840 communities, and I know that this has created concern and a clearer wording is 556 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:45,400 now adopted. Um one of the references in the video 557 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:49,000 was made to only three planning board members, and questioning if this was a 558 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:53,280 quorum. According to the Municipal Government Act, a quorum is a majority 559 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:57,120 of all members of council or a committee or a council committee, and the Town of 560 00:39:55,480 --> 00:40:01,520 Three Rivers Planning Board has five members and a chair, so three members 561 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:07,680 and a chair does equal a majority. And the other point to make is that while um 562 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:10,800 the planning board makes recommendation, it is up to council to make final 563 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:14,880 decisions. Um the question of property taxation 564 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:19,080 within the institutional zone was raised again, and I'd like to assure residents 565 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:23,840 of the town of Three Rivers that only a small number of properties receive a tax 566 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:28,120 exemption for religious purposes. This is consistent with all churches when 567 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:31,280 within the municipality, including Montague Bible Fellowship, where I am a 568 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:35,040 member. Properties zoned institutional are 569 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:39,560 assessed and subject to municipal property taxation, and the exemption is 570 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:43,400 strictly limited to active places of worship. The institutional zoning 571 00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:48,240 designation itself does not automatically result in property tax 572 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:52,640 exemption. Rather, tax exemptions are determined in accordance with applicable 573 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:56,920 provincial legislation and assessment regulations, not by the zoning 574 00:40:54,640 --> 00:41:01,120 classification. The resident also states in the video 575 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:05,440 that we have a population decrease of 7% and our economy is not growing. I 576 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:12,760 checked with Stats Canada and learned that the numbers are that in 2016, 577 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:20,240 we had a population of 7,169. In 2021, we had a population of 7,883, 578 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:26,520 and the estimate for 2026, according to Stats Canada, is 9,610 579 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:30,200 with an annual growth rate of 3%. The PEI government's demographic 580 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:37,480 estimates show the town of Three Rivers saw population growth of 2.5% in 2025 to 581 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:43,200 reach 9,322. And Southern Kings saw a population 582 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:46,320 increase as a whole of 2.7%, and there were no communities 583 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:51,240 year-over-year in this region with a decline. 584 00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:55,800 So, the And And also, the 2025 annual statistical review shows that the Prince 585 00:41:53,680 --> 00:42:00,560 The Prince Edward Island had the second fastest-growing provincial economy in 586 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:06,400 the country last year with real GDP increasing by 2.8%. 587 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:09,960 PEI PEI has exceeded the national growth in 10 of the last 11 years. So, it's 588 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:13,400 really important that we have accurate information given out to the public. 589 00:42:12,259 --> 00:42:17,960 » [snorts] >> All right, I'd like to um move on to the 590 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:22,560 items of the motions from planning board.
