for the property municipally known as

00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:51,560

85
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:03,200
76 m of frontage on Shamash Road.

and rear yard of 6.5 m with the northern

90
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,240
property.
The subject property is currently

91
00:08:21,919 --> 00:08:28,800

The purpose of the amendment application

94
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:43,840
is to fulfill conditions nine and 10 of

95
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:47,640

96
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:51,760

97
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:57,000
retained lands be rezoned from the

00:08:54,080 --> 00:09:01,600

99
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,480

100
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:09,280
now.
Further, condition 10 requires that the

101
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:13,720
northern portion being the severed lands
be rezoned from the residential type one

00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:16,200

00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:28,720
satisfaction of the town.
Notice of this application was

106
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:32,480
circulated to neighboring landowners and
commenting agencies in accordance with

107
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:38,720
the statutory requirements of the
planning act on May 14th, 2026 and sign

108
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,840
a sign notice was posted on the
property.

109
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:45,320
As of the date of publishing the
planning report, one comment was

110
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:49,960
received with respect to concerns
regarding sight lines for the proposed

111
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:53,200
site entrance for the northern vacant
proposed severed lot.

112
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:57,840
The manager of infrastructure and
capital projects provided a second

113
00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:01,760
review of the proposed location of the
entrance

114
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:07,360
and he noted that it was completed and
there were no sight line issues. He

115
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:13,880
further noted that the road is a km/h
zone and there's 480 ft or 147 m of

116
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:20,000
sight line from the location.
He concluded that he had no concerns

117
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:23,760
with respect to the placement of a
entrance to the northern portion of the

118
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:28,240
subject property.
Further an objection from a neighboring

119
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:34,800
property owner was also received on May
28th. The noted objection and respective

120
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:39,120
correspondence was shared earlier today.
The objection listed several items of

121
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:43,280
concern inclusive of the size and scale
of potential future development,

122
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:48,720
increased traffic and future road
widening, slope and erosion concerns,

123
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:54,120
encroachment, a disputed property line,
and environmental impacts.

124
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:58,480
Clarification regarding the coexisting
deficiencies was requested.

125
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:03,320
It was noted to the
objection that the existing deficiencies

126
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:09,560
recognize the existing legal
non-complying dwelling which has a front

127
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:14,560
yard again 2.5 m and a rear yard of 6.5
m where 7.5 m is otherwise required in

128
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:18,320
the bylaw.
Through the consent approval process,

129
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:22,240
the county and the town have required
the existing conditions to be formally

130
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:26,040
recognized through a site specific
zoning bylaw amendment which is before

131
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:29,760
you today.
The objector stated that they believe

132
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:33,120
the zoning bylaw amendment would grant
future development rights to the subject

133
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:37,200
property.
Uh

134
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:41,320
it was provided that section 3221 the
town of Bancroft zoning bylaw does

135
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:45,640
state, "Quote, where a building has been
lawfully erected prior to the date of

136
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:50,400
the passing of this bylaw on a lot
having less than a minimum frontage and

137
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:54,840
or area or having less than the minimum
front yard, side yard, rear yard, or

138
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:59,080
usable open space required by this
bylaw, the said building may be

139
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:03,840
enlarged, reconstructed, repaired, or
renovated provided said enlargement,

140
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:08,400
reconstruction, repair, or renovation
does not serve to further reduce a

141
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:13,480
required yard or required usable open
space and provided all of the provisions

142
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:18,080
of the bylaw are complied with."
Further, section 3.23

143
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:23,520
of the zoning bylaw recognizes existing
non-conforming uses and allows

144
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:27,400
restoration to a site safe condition.
This zoning bylaw amendment does not

145
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:32,000
grant new development rights to the
property, rather it formally recognizes

146
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:36,680
the existing deficient setbacks. The
maximum building height in the R1 zone

147
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:41,960
is 11 m. Should any proposed future
development want to go beyond the

148
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:46,760
existing 11 m, further planning
approvals would be required.

149
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:50,960
Um and again, it is important to note
and reiterate that redevelopment of the

150
00:12:48,839 --> 00:12:54,680
property is not contemplated through the
zoning bylaw amendment, rather it is

151
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:58,520
recognizing the current condition of the
property.

152
00:12:56,839 --> 00:13:03,120
The objection noted concerns about
traffic and the potential impact of this

153
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:06,440
development on future road widening. Uh
it was again noted that the town's

154
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:11,280
manager of infrastructure and capital
projects projects was circulated on the

155
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:15,440
application and they and he noted no
concerns.

156
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:19,520
The objection further noted concern with
respect to impacts on the adjacent

157
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:22,839
Hastings Heritage Trail. Uh it was
reiterated that the zoning bylaw

158
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:27,520
amendment again is recognizing the
existing condition and that capturing

159
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:32,640
and that the zoning bylaw amendment is
capturing the existing deficient rear

160
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:36,240
yard setback, which is a uh
uh

161
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:41,560
uh deficient uh by 1 m
uh and not prefer permitting any further

162
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:45,800
development closer to the trail.
The objection noted concern regarding

163
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:52,280
the accuracy of the survey uh in
relation to the slope of the property.

164
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:56,320
And as noted in section 4.4.2.2 of the
Hastings County official plan,

165
00:13:54,560 --> 00:14:01,560
um an accepted angle of slope for
stability is approximately 3:1

166
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:06,920
or approximately 18°.
Um with respect to the 3:1 slope based

167
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:12,160
on the available data being the MRF
contour mapping, the subject property

168
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:15,640
has a approximately a 5:1 slope and is
not considered a steep slope as

169
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:19,680
prescribed by the Hastings County
official plan.

170
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:23,920
Uh regardless, again, a lot grading and
drainage plan provided by a qualified

171
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:29,240
professional has been required as a
condition of the removal of hold for the

172
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:34,760
northern portion of that property. Um
again, in order to provide and to ensure

173
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:40,760
proper grading grading and drainage of
any future development in that area.

174
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:44,560
Uh the objection also noted on an
ongoing property line dispute. Uh it was

175
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,920
clarified that as previously
communicated uh

176
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:52,280
as a condition of consent, a reference
plan prepared by an Ontario land

177
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:56,520
surveyor uh will be provided to the
county and town which would identify the

178
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:01,120
accurate location of the property lines.
And further, with respect to addressing

179
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:05,920
any disputed property lines, uh it is a
civil matter and is not addressed

180
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:08,880
through the land use planning process.
The objection noted concerns with

181
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:13,320
respect to potential environmental
impacts associated with a future

182
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:16,720
development of the subject property. And
it was confirmed that the subject

183
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:20,839
property has not been identified as
containing any environmental protection

184
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:24,720
features. Further, the Town of Bancroft
does not currently have a tree

185
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:28,640
preservation or site alteration bylaw
that prohibits property owners from

186
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:32,680
clearing existing vegetation from their
properties.

187
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:36,680
And lastly, uh the objection noted
concerns with respect to the slope again

188
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:39,640
of the property and the risk of erosion
to adjacent properties that may result

189
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,800
from the future development of the
subject property.

190
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:47,200
It was clarified that again, the
northern severed lot is being rezoned to

191
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:52,000
include a holding, which will prevent
development of those lands until the

192
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:55,960
removal of hold, which is contingent
upon the completion of a lot grading and

193
00:15:53,640 --> 00:16:00,600
drainage plan prepared by a qualified
professional to the satisfaction of the

194
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:05,160
town is completed.
Uh no other comments have been received

195
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:09,640
from members of the public or agencies.
And the staff report included in today's

196
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:12,840
agenda includes the planning analysis
for this application, which concludes

197
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:16,400
that the application appears to be
consistent with the planning act, the

198
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:20,000
provincial planning statement, the
County of Hastings official plan, and

199
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:23,920
represents good planning with the
recommendation of approval.

200
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:27,120
And should council have any questions,
I'd be happy to answer them.

201
00:16:27,839 --> 00:16:31,520
» Any questions of council members?

202
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,680
Seeing none.

203
00:16:34,839 --> 00:16:39,320
We resolve the Council Corporation

>> Oh, I'm sorry. Excuse me.

205
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:49,000
Call for public info.
Council's decision to refuse or pass an

206
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:54,080
application to amend the zoning bylaw is
to include a brief explanation of the

207
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:59,560

We'll now adjourn the public meeting.
If we resolve that the council of the

to rezone the lands legally described as

234
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:07,040
RC B 2194
town of Bancroft, county of Hastings

235
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:15,240
municipality known as 136 Monck Road
from the residential type one R1 zone to

236
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:21,560
the residential type one R1
dash exception two one R1-21

00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,480
holding R1-8 zone.

239
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:35,440
» And moving to second, please. Councillor
Given, Councillor Lawrence.

240
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,440
Any discussion on this?

241
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:42,320
Yes.
>> Uh thank you. Um Councillor, if I may.

242
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:48,000
So, just first a little bit of clarity
for myself to really um

243
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:51,120
uh I understand that
the property that when the severance lot

244
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,000
is available, if anybody's going to
build on it, it can mostly be only a

245
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:58,280
single family residence. It can't be
multi-res. Is that correct?

246
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:02,720
» Uh through the chair, that is correct.
It's within the the R1 zoning. If it was

247
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:06,040
multiple residential, it would require a
rezoning application.

248
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:09,760
» And there's a responsibility to the
owner for drainage and the municipal

249
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:17,040
thing and all that sort of stuff needs
to be uh properly put together, so there

250
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:20,680
is no impact on on the neighbors.
>> Uh through the chair, so the the hold

251
00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:24,840
which is being applied to the northern
undeveloped portion will require a lot

252
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:29,640
grading and drainage plan to be
submitted um in support of the removal

253
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:34,320
of holding application, which will
ensure erosion and and um you know, the

254
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,880
different features of the of the site
development. So, a lot grading and

255
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:42,120
drainage plan will be required in order
for development to occur on the northern

256
00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:46,200
portion of the the property.
>> Thank you. And then one further question

257
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:49,800
regarding the fence. If uh I'm assuming
a new survey will need to be done for

258
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:54,240
the proposed lot.
>> Uh through the chair, yes. So, as a

259
00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:58,840
condition of consent, um the the survey
is being completed and that will

260
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:04,320
decipher the the the um
the um actual property lines. Um

261
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:09,920
so, where the fence lies, that again
will be a civil matter that um the

262
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:14,200
property owners will have to to
amend between themselves.

263
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:19,360
» If the survey shows that there's like 12
ft less on the lot size, would it impact

264
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,360
the severance?

265
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:25,480
» Uh through the chair, I I'm not sure I
understand the the question.

266
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:29,680
» Well, if we're doing the survey because
we're or do we already have a survey

267
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:34,240
that sort of is being If let's say I
believe I have a lot that's 10 by 10 and

268
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:39,640
now as a
piece of consent I get a survey done and

269
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:44,520
now the lot is 10 by 8, would the 10 by
8 lot still be in a position to be

270
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,520
severed?

271
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:50,520
» Uh if it's less than the required
amount, uh through the chair, sorry. Uh

272
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:53,560
if it's less than the required amount,
then um

273
00:21:53,960 --> 00:22:00,480
and the the property would have to be
reevaluated. However, the sketch that's

274
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:03,960
provided with the severance application
and with the rezoning is done by a

275
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:09,320
surveying company.
Um

276
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:12,640
so, the accuracy of that is is um
quite accurate, however, it is not the

277
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:17,880
actual registered plan that will be
required um for the actual severance.

278
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:28,640
» Councilor McGarry.
>> So, my my question is regarding the H um

279
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:33,960
so, the holding symbol
um the very end of page one, um a lot

280
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:37,320
grading and drainage plan prepared by a
qualified professional has been

281
00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:41,480
completed to the satisfaction of the
town. So, that's when the holding can be

282
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:46,080
removed from it, but is there a time
frame with that or can that sit there

283
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:49,520
until the person sells the property,
which then they would

284
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:53,680
go ahead and do all the work that's
required to remove the holding symbol

285
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:57,760
off of it?
>> Through the chair, uh there is no time

286
00:22:55,320 --> 00:23:02,640
limit um with the the holding provision,
so it can in essence sit there um and

287
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:07,680
until such time as somebody wants to
develop it that hold um, flags the chief

288
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:11,720
building official to know, okay, there
is something here that needs to be done

289
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:14,840
in order for before development can
occur on that property.

290
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:24,440
» Any other questions?
Seeing none.

291
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:27,320
All in favor?
Carried. Thank you.

292
00:23:28,120 --> 00:23:34,600
Moving on to delegations.
Uh, the

293
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:37,960
community safety concerns.
Be resolved that the council of the

294
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:44,160
corporation town of Bancroft is hereby
receive the community safety concerns

295
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:48,320
within the town of Bancroft presented
a presentation presented by Tom Robinson

296
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:52,200
for information information purposes
only.

297
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,360
Um, would you take the
the mic?

298
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,080
» Yes.
>> Go ahead and talk.

299
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,080
Tom.

300
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:14,840
Uh, Tom, when you're ready to speak,
press the press the bar down there and

301
00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:19,000
your your mic will be live.
Thank you very much. Welcome, Tom.

302
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:22,200
» Thank you.
Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman and

303
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:27,480
councilors.
Uh, the reason I'm here is to see about

304
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:31,120
lowering the speed limit on the school
zone within the community

305
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:35,080
safety zone.
I assume you've all received my

306
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:42,120
information, but I will quickly go
through it.

307
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:48,360
Uh, one of the reasons that I have taken
an interest in this is, uh, years ago

308
00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:52,120
when my grandchildren started to attend
the high school starting in grade seven,

309
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:58,880
uh,
I observed, uh, at the crossing school

310
00:24:55,600 --> 00:25:02,440
crossing, things that kind bothered me
and I

311
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:07,160
said to myself, sooner or later
somebody's going to get hit.

312
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:11,040
And as some of you already know,
somebody did get hit.

313
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:16,560
Uh
I want to recognize the work

314
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:22,640
to create the safety community zone,
which I know took a lot of work.

315
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:27,960
And I am also recognizing that I
received an email from the town

316
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:31,920
with regards to my concerns and some of
the answers

317
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:38,240
that I received and I will address them
shortly thereafter.

318
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:42,880
Uh I have sent you in my information a
photo of the speed limit sign and solar

319
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:46,320
flashing speed sign in the community
safety zone of Bancroft Senior

320
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:52,520
Elementary.
Uh Bancroft Public School has a student

321
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:56,960
population of approximately 110
students. North Hastings High School and

322
00:25:55,160 --> 00:26:02,000
North Hastings Secondary School
have a current combined student

323
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:05,760
population of approximately 900
students.

324
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:11,440
York River Public School has a student
population of 190.

325
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:16,960
There are no flashing amber or digital
speed lights at either school location

326
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:23,440
in Bancroft.
Reduced speeds and flashing amber lights

327
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:30,200
are common in Ontario school zones.
I recognize that one diamond shaped sign

328
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:34,200
small LED lights was recently installed
as an experiment.

329
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:39,080
I did hear about this
weeks before it was installed because I

330
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:42,440
was making inquiries that I made.
And uh

331
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:48,480
to be quite honest,
I was looking for a flashing amber sign

332
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:53,160
or a speed sign, which there was none.
And when I first came into town, my wife

333
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:59,400
said, "Oh, look at the
flashing sign." I did not see it.

334
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:05,200
So, in order to make sure that I did see
it, I drove around the block.

335
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:08,760
And I thought, "Yeah, that's an
improvement, but not what I was

336
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:14,280
expecting."
But when I went down to get the mail,

337
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:19,760
came back up the hill on Station Street,
I saw a new flashing amber sign

338
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:24,960
saying, "Don't slow down and make a
right-hand turn to stop the hill." That

339
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:29,760
caught my eye immediately.
So, anyway, uh the general manager's

340
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:35,240
email
with regards to Highway 28, it is an

341
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:39,000
interconnecting highway under the
Highway Traffic Act,

342
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:45,280
all connecting link highways have a
minimum speed of 50 km or higher,

343
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:50,520
which is quite true, and I have heard
this argument years ago about reducing

344
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:54,600
the speed.
But since

345
00:27:52,760 --> 00:28:00,200
it uh
got me taking a closer look, I found

346
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:04,160
that there is an amendment to the
Highway Traffic Act, which is the Safe

347
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:09,440
for School Zone
uh Act, which was passed originally in

348
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:16,040
2017,
Bill 65, which allows for towns to lower

349
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:20,840
the speed limits below 50 km
an hour, sorry,

350
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:26,960
to 30 to 40 km an hour per hour in
school zones within 200 safety zones,

351
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:32,640
which includes interconnecting or
linking highways.

352
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:37,720
The specific section is
number 128.

353
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:43,680
I have also learned, in contact with the
town of Shelburne, Ontario, that they

354
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:50,120
successfully reduced the speed limit on
its connecting link to 40 km per hour.

355
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:55,480
They also reduced their speed limit in
their town to 40 km an hour in their

356
00:28:53,560 --> 00:29:01,440
town.
This was accomplished with an

357
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:06,640
endorsement of the MTO in 2024
uh by the council's approval and I don't

358
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:10,960
remember if you got a copy of that or
not.

359
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:14,440
» I believe it was in there
in the page.

360
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:19,600
» Okay, and I'm also looking at the
possibility of changing the status of

361
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:23,840
the school pedestrian crossing on Monk
Street and Bridge Streets.

362
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:28,600
Uh
I think it should become

363
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:32,480
more than what it is as a courtesy
crossing

364
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:37,600
because in my opinion
in my opinion only

365
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:43,120
courtesy is
there for some others

366
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:50,560
there's not much courtesy.
Uh this crossing is not only used by

367
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:55,720
pedestrians and school children
but it's also

368
00:29:53,560 --> 00:30:02,240
used for people going to the Family
Health Clinic, the North Hastings Manor,

369
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:05,320
the Bancroft Hospital, and Vance Motors.
The traffic lights

370
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:11,000
are
basically a fair way to wait at Shell

371
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:17,720
Station and the other direction there's
a courtesy crosswalk at post office

372
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:23,560
and the traffic lights at Vance Motors.
The school crossing at Bridge Street is

373
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:29,560
mid-block.
Under the guideline for a PXO from the

374
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:33,360
Ontario Traffic Manual, which I received
also

375
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,360
uh

376
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:39,240
data from the
Bancroft manager

377
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:43,480
that uh
it's couldn't be done as it didn't meet

378
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:48,120
the
specifications.

379
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:54,760
But I have also found there's a minimum
pedestrian volume of 65 pedestrians

380
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:59,240
over a 4-hour period or 100 pedestrians
over an 8-hour period.

381
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:05,040
I do not know whether this applies to 1
day, 1 week, several days,

382
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:10,040
or the course of a month.
But children under the age of 12 and

383
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:15,160
seniors and people with disabilities are
counted as two.

384
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:20,120
And I believe this threshold could be
met at the school crossing on Monk

385
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:25,320
Street and Bridge Street for North
Hastings High School and OLV.

386
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:32,160
This school crossing is used by both
residents and students within that area.

387
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:38,880
And for example,
if OLV takes two classes down to go

388
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:41,880
downtown, and we see them every fall or
we see them in spring, or go down for

389
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:47,680
whatever reason,
and we'll say they are 30 students

390
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:53,080
and two assistants,
two teachers,

391
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:58,680
take 30 crossing the road once, crossing
the road back, they're 60. Add the four

392
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:04,040
adults, they're 68. There's the
crossing.

393
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:08,360
Which meets the current whichever it is
in the

394
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:11,400
Ontario Traffic Manual.
Uh

395
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:17,160
Further to this, uh
I started this

396
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:21,960
way back, I think in September.
And I have been in touch with Mr.

397
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:26,240
Freeze's office.
And Mr. Freeze has asked me to send the

398
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,760
information that I received from the
town in the

399
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,920
uh
email

400
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:37,040
along with what I have wrote.
And

401
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:41,920
they have reviewed it.
And they understood that I was going to

402
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:45,840
a presentation in May to the safety
council of uh

403
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:49,480
our uh
group,

404
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:53,560
which unfortunately was canceled.
And

405
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:56,840
what I got back from him, and I point
this out to you, and I'm going to read

406
00:32:55,400 --> 00:33:00,760
it,
uh

407
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:04,480
because he did review the information.
The first step to speed reduction in the

408
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:09,960
school zone would be for the
municipality to apply to the ministry

409
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:15,320
staff for the reduction.
Once the application is made,

410
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:20,920
town and Bancroft staff would then reach
out to our office to support the speed

411
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:27,680
reduction proposal.
I would say from that that

412
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:34,280
if the town proceeded to do something,
that they have

413
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:40,120
the back of Mr. Brezay supporting it.
And with that, I'll leave it to you.

414
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:43,600
Have any questions while I'm here.
>> Does anybody have any questions for Mr.

415
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:46,280
Robinson?
Councilor Orange?

416
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:54,080
» Not exactly a question, but uh I'm all
in favor of reducing the speed limit

417
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:59,360
within
town limits from 50 to 40.

418
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:02,480
Um extensive studies have shown that
even a

419
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:08,280
10 km/h
change in

420
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,280
dramatically reduces fatalities.

421
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:15,679
» And if you would like to add anything on
that, I have

422
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:20,280
Uh I did I wasn't going to use this, but
I will uh

423
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:23,800
just say in the town of Shelburne,
uh

424
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:27,879
fatalities, this is uh
prior to the reduction,

425
00:34:25,919 --> 00:34:33,320
fatalities and personal injury
collisions in 2021, there were five.

426
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:38,679
2022, there were three, which is an
improvement. 2023,

427
00:34:35,879 --> 00:34:42,919
there were eight and one fatality. This
is before they they reduced their

428
00:34:41,639 --> 00:34:46,159
speed to
40 km/h.

429
00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:55,440
» I have one further comment. My my father
was actually hit by a car

430
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:59,000
in 1947 and he stayed up for
pretty much three or four months while

431
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:01,520
he was recovering.
And uh that was right at the same time

432
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:06,160
that
my father was recovering.

433
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:10,520
» Yes. And in our own town, we have
the doctor's kid in BC.

434
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:14,520
And
actually ended up

435
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:19,480
causing her to retire.
And

436
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:28,360
I mean the other person stayed in town.
But she was hit in Toronto and

437
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,360
I see her in physical therapy.

438
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,200
weekly
>> They are okay.

439
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,960
» And
some of you are probably wondering what

440
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:40,880
this is. And one of the reasons that I
finally got off my butt

441
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:46,960
and did something about this was
it was my granddaughter was hit. Now,

442
00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:52,360
my granddaughter was 16 and
basically what happened was

443
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:59,080
that she
was home doing uh

444
00:35:55,360 --> 00:36:02,920
an online course and heading back
to school

445
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:07,000
and of course it is a courtesy crossing.
Nobody had to stop.

446
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:11,880
The gentleman coming out of town in the
truck did stop.

447
00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:16,760
He waved her that it was okay, which she
shouldn't have done.

448
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:21,880
And she stepped off the curb thinking
the lady, excuse me, I don't shouldn't

449
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:26,160
say lady, the person was
coming and she thought that she would

450
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:32,320
stop.
And she realized the last second

451
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:35,880
that she wasn't going to stop. So, she
turned and she got hit on the hip.

452
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,960
Fortunately,
she wasn't injured. She was Well, I

453
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:43,360
don't want to say she wasn't injured.
She was sore for a couple of days.

454
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:47,480
Uh
if that had been

455
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:53,160
a student from Old Ottawa East,
we'll say under the age of 12,

456
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:57,960
and I you I do observe
I'm in town every day going up and down.

457
00:36:55,080 --> 00:37:02,080
I said I I see how they bolt.
If he'd been signaled by that person,

458
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:05,000
they might have
a

459
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:08,320
10-year-old or an 8-year-old, for
whatever reason they would have been

460
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:13,640
down there. If they had bolted out in
front, they would have probably

461
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:18,200
been badly injured or killed.
And there's one other gentleman that

462
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:22,880
uses that crosswalk. He has a little
I call it a scooter.

463
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:26,280
Uh he comes down there and he crosses
there. If he had

464
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:30,840
by the same token like that and then put
that scooter up,

465
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:36,120
he would have been badly injured.
I think it's time that

466
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:40,000
we lower the speed limit.
And

467
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:45,080
personally, uh if we
look at the speed limit and the and the

468
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:49,360
speeds that are taking place, people are
driving too fast and following too

469
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:54,120
close.
I personally was rear-ended at the post

470
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:58,720
office because I stopped at the
crosswalk to let somebody cross.

471
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:02,400
And the guy that hit me was, "Oh, I
thought I was going to stop."

472
00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:06,200
People don't realize that you're
traveling

473
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:11,280
90 km/h
and somebody's tailgating you and you

474
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:14,640
have to put on the brakes,
the

475
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:18,240
probability of an accident is pretty
great.

476
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:23,880
And 10 km
reduction down from 50 to 40 would be

477
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:28,520
wonderful.
And traveling through town

478
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:34,560
on most days,
you might be lucky that you do 20 km an

479
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:39,800
hour, especially through a tourist city.
Uh tourist season starts now,

480
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:42,960
May,
not

481
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:47,440
July.
And that is when students

482
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:51,800
are in school.
And it ends in

483
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:57,280
Oh, say Thanksgiving. So, there's
probably a month and a half there

484
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:59,800
for students, and traffic is heavy,
very heavy.

485
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:05,360
And
I have observed, you know,

486
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:10,880
I'm doing 50 coming into that zone, and
somebody's pulling away from me, they're

487
00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:14,920
doing 60 or 70, and I know that I also
have statistics

488
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:19,960
from Shelburne on the number of
violations of people

489
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:25,640
uh over 40 km an hour.
74 km, 96 km an hour.

490
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:28,640
That's pretty severe.
And I see it

491
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:32,400
down there.
I personally

492
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:37,000
would not want to stand out in front of
them with a ping pong paddle with a stop

493
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:41,240
sign. I'm sorry, I could I That's the
reference that I used.

494
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:44,680
Uh
there are occasions where you can

495
00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:48,400
actually use a red light, believe it or
not. I don't know if that was red light

496
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:53,600
is still used.
And from personal experience, and I'm

497
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:59,800
talking when I was young,
in the 1950s,

498
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:59,800
I was a school patroller.

499
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:07,080
Some of you may have been old enough to
remember what a school patroller was. We

500
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:07,080
had a little white thing on a stick.

501
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:15,280
The road that we had to cross
to go to school

502
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:20,640
was an interconnected highway, of
course, the Trans-Canada Highway,

503
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:26,880
which was in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
And what we had as school patrollers, we

504
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:30,720
had a red light on that side of the road
and a red light on this side of the

505
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:36,680
road. And we pushed a button and we
stopped the traffic.

506
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:40,720
Two years that I was patroller,
only one person ever went through that

507
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:44,440
light.
And it happened to be the day that the

508
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:49,000
police were stopped
down the road and they had them with a

509
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:54,280
hand cuff line.
So,

510
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:56,880
that was much safer way of doing things
and stand I wouldn't want to stand out

511
00:40:55,960 --> 00:41:03,280
there. I
I would bend down there and watch.

512
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:05,600
That's all right. And sometimes
you just wonder if they're going to

513
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:08,320
stop.
Anyway,

514
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:11,520
thank you. I leave it in your capable
hands and I hope that you will do

515
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:16,240
something to
ensure the safety of the children.

516
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:19,320
» All right. Any
questions or comments? Okay, Councillor

517
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:23,800
Gibbons.
>> First of all, Tom, thank you for putting

518
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:28,520
all that together. Um I am I was in a
school zone once not paying attention. I

519
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:34,000
was worried about getting to my son's
track and field meet and I was driving

520
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:37,600
over the 10 10 km over the school safety
zone um

521
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:40,680
when it's designated. And um I got
pulled over and I remember thinking

522
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:45,000
afterwards, you know something, he asked
me where I was headed and I said I'm

523
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:47,960
headed to watch my son play um
or track and field and I was like I'm

524
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,520
afraid I'm going to miss it. He said,
"Well, you know what? You're going to

525
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:53,280
miss it now cuz he said he pulled over
you were speeding." And I got thinking

526
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:56,600
afterwards, you know what? If that had
been a child, yes, it could have very

527
00:41:55,440 --> 00:42:01,160
well hit them.
Um so anyways, thank you for that and I

528
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:06,040
do I think of off-season. So, when
you're bumper-to-bumper in Bancroft and

529
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:10,440
it's it's a full-on tourist
season, things move a little slower, but

530
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:14,000
off-season when there isn't the volume
of traffic, that's when people are

531
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:16,760
moving a little quicker. That's when,
you know, you run the risk of hitting

532
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,880
somebody's child, for sure.
>> Yes and no. I don't

533
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:22,760
» Oh, yes and no, for sure.
>> Yes. Okay, I'm going to give you an

534
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:27,000
example.
Uh

535
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:30,360
I I timed it from the uh
school crossing

536
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:39,880
to the
corner at Station Street.

537
00:42:33,720 --> 00:42:44,920
The gain time is 10 to 12 seconds.
Now, when you get to turn left to go

538
00:42:42,720 --> 00:42:48,280
down Station Street, you start losing
time.

539
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:53,520
And when you head down the hill, you
start to gain time.

540
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:59,560
In conclusion, what I found was by the
time you're getting in between

541
00:42:56,200 --> 00:43:03,960
Bangs Motors and
No Frills,

542
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:09,760
uh you've lost a whole minute. So, you
haven't gained any time by traveling 50

543
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:12,040
60 km/h.
And

544
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:16,520
some of those
staff coming out of the school at times,

545
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:19,840
I've seen people go by and they take off
from the corner coming up and they feel

546
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:23,840
like
they're on their way out of town.

547
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:28,840
And they're they are over the speed
limit. It's not hard to tell.

548
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:32,440
» For sure. No, and I'm and I'm fully in
support of of lowering it to 40 km/h,

549
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:35,200
for sure.
>> Thank you.

550
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:39,040
Got something else?
>> Uh thank you. I'm really appreciate your

551
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,760
report. Lots of information. It's great
news. It certainly makes everybody who

552
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:45,840
lives there feel better of safety to our
constituents and certainly the kids of

553
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:49,360
our community. Um
I was It's too bad you weren't in front

554
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:53,320
of the community and the safety and the
health and whatever safety

555
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:56,960
health and safety committee. I would
have actually thought the process would

556
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,840
have rolled through that way.
>> Uh well

557
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:03,200
» Does that have to happen uh for council
to have this brought forward?

558
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:06,840
Like should we be making a
recommendation that this report goes to

559
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:11,400
our community
as our well-being and safety group, and

560
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:15,520
then they bring forward to council a
recommendation.

561
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:19,520
» It should, yes. Um
Yeah, so the the committee did not meet

562
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:23,360
in May, and they do not meet again until
August. So, for

563
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:26,880
uh the purpose of hearing uh Mr.
Robinson's delegation, we brought it

564
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:32,160
forward to today's meeting.
>> So, that's awesome. I'm glad we did get

565
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:35,160
to hear it, but with is sort of that the
you know, the

566
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:42,440
you know, the grinding wheels of staff
have to happen, or can uh council sort

567
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:46,280
of uh ask staff to look at making staff
>> Council can make a recommendation today

568
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:50,560
that staff will look into to this
without going to the community safety

569
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:53,440
committee.
>> So, moved.

570
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,760
» I actually just need to present
something on the table.

571
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:58,920
» Yeah, we have we have we need to deal
with

572
00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:02,920
» Thank you, very very much.
>> Thank you for the very interesting and

573
00:45:00,720 --> 00:45:02,920
uh

574
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,800
presentation, Mr. Robinson.

575
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,800
» So, we just need

576
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:18,040
Just for information.

577
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:26,640
» I have a I have a mover, please.
Uh for the

578
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:32,080

presentation from Mr. Robinson.

579

Councilor McGivern, Councilor Lawrence.
All in favor?

580
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,400

00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:42,200
» Carried.
>> Councilor Miles.

582
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:44,120
» Thank you, Council Chairman. I'd like to
uh

583
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:48,200
I would put it something on the floor
that ask staff to

584
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:52,080
uh look into recommendation from Mr.
Robinson's report regarding the speed

585
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:55,320
limit
and crosswalk safety.

586
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:59,960
That worded enough?
Thank you.

587
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:03,440
» We have a second on that? Councilor
McGivern.

588
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:06,800
Any questions on that?
Seems pretty well straightforward, I

589
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:10,680
think. All in favor?
Carried. Thank you.

590
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:14,880
And moving on, um
we have a Mr. David Baron

here today
to talk on

592
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:22,640
a walk for peace.
Welcome, Mr. Baron.

593
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,640
» Thank you.

594
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:29,520
» Um
Mr. Baron, yeah, that's that's fine.

595
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,520
Yeah.

596
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:37,160
» I want to thank you all for letting the
invite to come before you today to talk

597
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:42,040
about the County Peace. I want to thank
you,

598
00:46:38,240 --> 00:46:47,800
Mr. Chairman, and council members. And I
would I do want to thank the staff for

599
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:51,960
all the efforts made on this this uh
What I want to What I'm bringing forward

600
00:46:49,720 --> 00:46:58,240
today is an event that we would like to
propose

601
00:46:54,200 --> 00:47:03,920
in in cooperation with a separate entity
from the Peace Museum. That being an

602
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:08,920
event and activity which at the
Millennium Park,

603
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:13,000
uh a walk from the park to the Peace
Museum.

604
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:16,400
But first I'm going to I want to
say that

605
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:21,160
I I've lived a
charmed life myself.

606
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:26,280
I've been away from Brantford quite a
few years and happen to be back.

607
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:31,480
While I was away,
I spent a lot of time at the UN.

608
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:36,800
Respected throughout my life by this
organization through school and my

609
00:47:33,720 --> 00:47:43,320
family. Spent a lot of time there. Spent
time with the World Federalist Movement.

610
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:48,840
Was able to go and and study the masters
in Rwanda and also

611
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:53,280
truth and reconciliation
in Brazil. Plus there's South Carolina

612
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:56,840
and too
to

613
00:47:54,480 --> 00:48:02,840
talk with the Christian
and the members of the community church

614
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:07,000
of which Dylan roof
carried it the mass within the church

615
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:11,200
itself.
I've seen a lot of ugly in my lifetime.

616
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:16,240
I've been brought up
to stand up to ugly in my lifetime. My

617
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:21,760
my family
my social justice and understanding of

618
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:26,880
good and and bad within society goes
back to Vimy Ridge my family there and

619
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:33,800
different nations.
Uh bringing up being brought up in

620
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:38,880
in a good family five farm families all
in a row southern Ontario, but I did

621
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:43,080
witness a lot of ugly
non-peaceful events within households.

622
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:47,760
Uh
I was in

623
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:53,360
in Arkansas in 1965.
My grandfather took myself my brother to

624
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:57,920
witness the Martin Luther King
march that was for

625
00:48:55,800 --> 00:49:01,720
voters' rights.
So I've seen a lot of ugly

626
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:06,480
within and
and this is part of my rationale

627
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:11,360
personally and all of us. This is why I
give so much effort

628
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:15,400
almost daily to the Peace Museum. I know
what the absence of peace looks like

629
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:23,040
what
within households and within society. So

630
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:27,760
this event is is to to bring together
individuals

631
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:33,280
uh groups of within the community those
that are working hard every day to work

632
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:40,280
to build better society and better
community and which offers peace within

633
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:45,080
households and within communities.
The event itself

634
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:51,880
the logistics of the event
officially starts at 2:00

635
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:57,280
in Millennium Park and that being
prior to community groups and or

636
00:49:55,080 --> 00:50:01,240
individuals
going to set up tables offering

637
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:06,560
information.
There's going to be activity for the

638
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:12,400
children and families including arts and
crafts and clowning and face painting

639
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:19,240
and different games offered within the
park. At 2:00 the activities start.

640
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:27,240
John Foreman and friends are are going
to be since I sit right.

641
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:32,280
I consider that planning park is safe. I
like stopping and watching John as he's

642
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:39,080
building it. So anyway, John Foreman and
friends are going to be offering

00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:44,640
activity till 4:00 and there are two key
two presenters. The first presenter is

00:50:42,240 --> 00:50:49,520
going to be Greg Zola

645
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:55,760
Manute. Greg was on the 1986
walk across America. He's been a

646
00:50:53,760 --> 00:51:02,240
uh community member of Manute for about
11 years I guess now. He's also a member

647
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:07,760

was he's going to be opening the

652
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:37,320
not all the way downtown but on Station
Street here and across and then on down

653
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:42,200
to the Peace Museum. Our Lake Snowbird
parade marshals and several people to

654
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:49,120
ensure that there is security that you
know the kids don't run into traffic.

655
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:53,240
Primary concern is security for us. At
the museum, there's going to be a

656
00:51:51,880 --> 00:52:00,280
uh uh
additional presentations of community

657
00:51:55,840 --> 00:52:06,600

of fun and activities there, plus

658
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:12,240
uh open mic and music on into the
evening. The presenters at the uh Peace

659
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:17,400
Museum will be uh
uh Chris Houston, who's the director of

660
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:22,960
the museum, and then other individuals,
Lindsay Callus, who's 80s, and who is

school year, and currently she does uh

662
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:33,920
peace studies and seminars with the
Catholic School School Board. So, she's

663
00:52:31,240 --> 00:52:37,680
going to relocate here and work closely
with us, and she's the newest member of

664
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:43,680
the board, also.
Uh so, that's an overview of the active

665
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:48,720
the day of of activities, and uh
and then if anyone has any questions, uh

Peace Museum.

669
00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:02,360
Uh I'm kind of ticked off I'm busy
already that day and what's on day. I'm

670
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:05,920
hoping the media is full of all kinds of
headlines and information about how

671
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:09,560
successful this is going to be, and
couldn't you all be a little piece of

00:55:16,720 --> 00:55:22,000
I'd like to move that if I could.

Councilor McGibbon.

706
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:36,960
I can speak to that, though, counselor.
Okay. I've been on the been on that

707
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:41,520
committee. Uh
Prior to

708
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:45,960
As you know, the the minutes, the the
trail system

709
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:50,440
of Haliburton here. I mean, ridership
went up up up up up snowmobiles,

710
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:55,040
um
four-wheelers, etc., etc. Not only in

711
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:57,360
the north here, down south.
Uh cuz there wasn't much snow down

712
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:59,160
there.
Um

713
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:03,040
the
Since that, they've they've entered an

714
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:08,400
agreement with uh
with the motor snowmobile association

715
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:12,360
uh to the west of us here, bringing more
more trails on board.

716
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:15,080
Um since April, they've been begging and
pleading.

717
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:19,640
In fact, I got a couple of calls on the
weekend with the north

718
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:25,080
section of the trail from about Coe Hill
up. It's like a wash to her. Uh I looked

719
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:29,560
into it and uh I'm happy to report that
uh grading will start tomorrow.

720
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:33,520
Uh the reason why it hadn't started
prior to that is they had an agreement

721
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:37,560
with a a grading firm up north here,
just north of Bancroft here. And that

722
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:41,600
fell through. So, we had to
do a double take and and uh restart it

723
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:45,720
again with with uh
getting a a grader to do that.

724
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:49,120
Uh car discussion grader doesn't matter.
I think graders is no good. So, they

725
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:51,840
the smaller one.
All right. Anyway,

726
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:54,480
I know there are no other questions. All
in favor? Do you want to vote?

727
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:57,840
» Sorry, I have a question.
>> I'm sorry. Yes, Councillor Arnott.

728
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,760
» Um notice
around town

729
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:04,880
uh
the

730
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:07,200
the trail is very sandy, very loose.
I tried to trip some of it off.

731
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:11,400
» Mhm.
>> Uh

732
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:17,080
will the grading take care of that?
>> Uh not at all. No. Uh some gravel may or

733
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:20,920
may not be uh put in. Um
but that probably there will be sections

734
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:25,880
that will need new gravel. If If they
just can't shove it all into the center

735
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:27,800
again, from my from what I understand.
Um

736
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:32,200
um
They are looking into it. Again, it's

737
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:35,240
part of the maintenance plan. Um I know
the

738
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:38,600
the executive director is looking into
that.

739
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:42,720
Again, they have the trails off to the
the basic fire beside.

740
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:46,760
So, hopefully I can answer your
question. Yes, it will be done.

741
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:54,440
Councilor Miles.
>> Councilor Miles, does the

742
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:58,840
trail alliance ever talk about sort of
So, Council Miles brings that up about

743
00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:03,560
maybe within town the way some of the
trails aren't so great. You know how we

744
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:07,320
have sort of the connect link between
the province and also with the highways.

745
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:11,560
We have the same kind of agreement with
the trails system?

746
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:14,800
» I'm not aware of it.
>> And and is there any kind of

747
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:17,920
conversation that surrounds around
something like that so that community

748
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:20,000
and at least boundaries can come to the
table with the group?

749
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:22,000
» Unfortunately, I'm not aware of that
either.

750
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:26,480
» Thank you.
>> But I can look into that for you.

751
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:31,200
The meeting that's meeting is next week
on Thursday, 6:30. Thank you.

752
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:33,600
» Just curiosity after Mr. Miles.
>> It's unfortunate the timing of the

753
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:36,400
meetings is what we seem to be a month
behind.

754
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:40,560
And then getting the minutes almost 2
months behind, so. Anyway, it is what it

755
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:43,360
is, so.
All in favor, please. Oh, sorry. You

756
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:46,880
have a question?
>> I'm not sure if this sort of answers

757
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:51,840
your question but I know that in the
past there were times where there was a

758
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:56,120
piece of the trail that was in
desperate shape, I guess you could say.

759
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:59,520
That's when the trail alliance had
reached out to the municipalities and

760
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:04,480
sometimes they would work together on
fixing the piece that's within

761
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:04,480
their area.

762
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:08,960
» I can
All in favor?

763
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:13,080
Carried.
Rotation is public library.

764
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:17,080
Be it resolved that council of the
corporation of town of Bancroft does

765
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:22,720
hereby receive the minutes of the North
Hastings Public Library meeting held on

766
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:27,080
April 28th, 2026 as presented. I have a
mover, Reese,

767
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:30,200
Councilor Miles, Councilor Lawrence.
Uh Councilor Miles you like to speak on

768
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:32,800
this?
>> Yes, I would. Thank you.

769
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:37,960
Um,
the minutes that we spoke forward, we

770
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:41,440
are just you know, keep moving towards
uh the the move and um you know, having

771
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:45,960
new space.
Uh, with the biggest I think I know in

772
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:50,480
the meeting here was sort of um
uh shifting of some funds. Uh, we had

773
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:55,760
some reserve that was
uh named weirdly, so we moved that into

774
00:59:53,640 --> 01:00:00,160
a space that was easier to
uh invest in the new library and we

775
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:04,200
talked about what uh because we've done
our own statements recently, what the

776
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:07,680
audit reserve showed for us and that was
also moved into the space to allow us to

777
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:12,160
continue moving forward with the
library. Um, that was really the the big

778
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:15,360
thing I think within the meeting was
dealing with some funds regarding the

779
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:17,160
library with the reserve stuff.
Everything else is pretty

780
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:19,760
straightforward.
>> Thank you.

781
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:23,280
Any other questions?
All in favor?

782
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:26,960
Carried, thank you.

and November 27th, 2025 as presented.

788
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:57,120
I'm going back quite a ways, but are
there any questions?

789
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:59,240
» Um, no there aren't.
I think we're ready to move on.

790
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:02,120
» Pardon?
>> I think we're ready to move on to the

791
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:03,800

Councillor Given.

803
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:59,760
Any questions on those?
All in favor? Uh yes, Councillor Miles.

804
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:02,120
» Has anybody read these minutes?
>> I have.

805
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:04,360
» Has anybody read these minutes?
>> Mhm.

806
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:12,240
» Anything significant in there?
>> Nothing significant to me.

807
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:16,400
That doesn't mean nothing, but what you
suddenly significant is that beautiful.

808
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:23,360
» I believe that Councillor Mullett was
keeping us up to date in on these

809
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:28,520
matters
all along and and again,

810
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:32,120
this this board and the previous board
like the municipal way back when we've

811
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:35,640
had updates from
from

812
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:39,680
various counties on the matters, so.
>> So,

813
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:44,920
Councillor Mullett is actually at the
conference for the OPP detachment board

814
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:50,480
right now. So, I'm sure at one of our
next meetings he will probably have an

815
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:50,480
update about that conference.

816
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:57,400
» Yes, as you know, we
taking over new

817
01:02:54,480 --> 01:03:01,120
a new area too and up north, so
Whitney area

818
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:05,880
Whitney area, so I'm going to again
see how that plays out as far as my

819
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:05,880
budget goes.

820
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:12,560
All in favor?
Carried. Thank you.

821
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:18,160
Unfinished business.
Rec- recreation and data project and

822
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:21,720
release survey launch.
Be resolved that the council the

823
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:26,440
Corporation of the Town of Bancroft for
information only received the Recreation

824
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:31,520
and Data Project Community Survey Launch
Report for information purposes only.

825
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:34,120
» Good morning, everyone.
So, I'm here today to provide you guys

826
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:38,040
an update.
>> We'll get a mover and seconder first. Do

827
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:41,240
I have a mover or seconder?
Councillor Given, Councillor Miles.

828
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:45,360
Go ahead, please.
>> I'll start again.

829
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:49,000
I'm here to provide you with an update.
Um I believe that was back in April. Um

830
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:53,400
it was a staff report brought that we
were going to start our parks, tracks,

831
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:57,400
facilities data collection project. Um
so, here we are now a couple months in

832
01:03:55,080 --> 01:04:00,840
and we are now at the stage we are now
having engaged in the community process

833
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:06,640
of surveying our community broad and
wide um for the following next two weeks

834
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:11,000
around kind of a plan. Um the project
was initiated to understand how

835
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:15,000
municipally owned parks, recreation, and
cultural spaces are used and to support

836
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:18,760
future planning and investment decisions
with that. As part of the work, survey a

837
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:23,240
community survey has been launched to
capture input from residents, seasonal

838
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:27,560
residents, visitors, and basically
anyone that might happen to see my QR

839
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:32,760
code somewhere in this town or at a park
or rec facility or on Facebook.

840
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:37,520
Um the survey focused focused on usage
patterns, participation, barriers, and

841
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:42,400
priorities across all of our municipal
spaces and services to gather collection

842
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:46,320
tool um and not to vote on specific
projects. Questions um also that have

843
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:48,880
been included and this was in
consultation with the rest of the staff

844
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:52,520
team
is why are you living here? What brings

845
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:56,680
you to Bancroft? Um what kind of things
do you participate in? What So, why are

846
01:04:54,600 --> 01:05:00,080
you here? Um use of the trails and
natural areas and its timing and

847
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:03,360
seasonality
um and the types of use especially in

848
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:07,400
our non-motorized and motorized kind of
leads back to the trail conversation. Um

849
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:11,120
we do have a vast trail system here in
our communities.

850
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:15,600
So, this approach kind of followed up
with the some stakeholder of surveys as

851
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:19,960
well that we had done. Um and I think
after both local and destination based

852
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:24,320
use. We're also launched at kind of at
the beginning of the you know, shoulder

853
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:28,800
season, summer season. We're not sure
when our seasons change around here. Um

854
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:31,800
so it's a coordinated promotion
approach. Um

855
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:35,240
digital at our beach. Some of you may
have already seen it on social media. I

856
01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:39,280
hope and shared. I hope everyone's done
it, and shared it, and got all your

857
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:42,360
friends to do it. Um it has also been
put up at all of our locations and

858
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:45,200
facilities. Our parks and facilities
team have put it up at all of our

859
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:47,400
locations. So Eagles Nest, so we're
hoping, you know, when people are there

860
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:51,200
on the weekend they'll tell us why
they're there, where they come from,

861
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:55,240
that we can have this really
valuable data. Um it's also very

862
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:59,160
specific on especially our neighboring
communities who may

863
01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:02,440
be out in our community. Um you know,
from our seven townships around. We're

864
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:07,240
asking very specifically.
Um so we're also going to be, you know,

865
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:10,240
this weekend at RiverFest we'll be, you
know, having the QR codes and you know,

866
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:14,120
those types of things. Any kind of place
in the next couple of weeks where we can

867
01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:17,200
pop up and get the information.
So hopefully that will close up June

868
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:20,280
15th.
Um and then we'll I'll be back to

869
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:24,840
present findings and those types of
things and then we'll keep moving

870
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:28,320
forward on this project.
Any questions from anyone?

871
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:30,960
» Thank you, Sharon. I have
a question, I guess.

872
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:34,320
Um
is the survey age

873
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:36,560
» So we
>> applicable?

874
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:39,000
» What do you mean age
>> well, does does it break down what

875
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:40,280
» Yes.
>> So I have also a survey

876
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:43,200
» Yes.
>> Do you want to say certain things?

877
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:46,960
» So yes, I've broken down the
demographics. I've broken it down

878
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:50,960
family, single, seniors, accessibility,
mobility, cultural, all those kind of

879
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:54,080
demographic patterns that align with our
stats Canada and all the other data

880
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:57,080
that's collected. What's going to be
really exciting is we're going to be

881
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:59,880
able to analyze, you know, what does a
family

882
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:03,800
um with children under the age of five
look like in our town versus what does a

883
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:07,480
senior. We are also asking are you
caring for elderly, caring for someone

884
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:11,080
else within your home. I would capture
all those things within the demographics

885
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:14,840
and hopefully this information is going
to be, you know, very data-rich for us.

886
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:18,000
Um so, that's why the more data we can
get the better.

887
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:21,320
Um and also in comparing it to how
others within the

888
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:26,320
other 404 municipalities have done their
plans as well. So, we will have a vast

889
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:29,240
amount of data to utilize.
Um and hopefully we want all this

890
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:34,600
information that can help us with the
decisions that we must make.

891
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:34,600
» Great. Thank you. Any other questions?

892
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:37,600
Thank you, Sarah. I'm looking forward to
that report because I think that it will

893
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:40,760
be a
>> Do the survey.

894
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:42,280
» The Department of Recreation, you know.
>> Thank you, Sarah.

895
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:44,720
» We need to know what we're going to be
doing in the next year.

896
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:50,760
Thank you.
Moving on.

897
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:54,120
Business arising from notices of motion.
>> Oh, sorry. We need an All in favor. Need

898
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:57,040
an All in favor.
>> That's okay. All in favor.

899
01:07:56,000 --> 01:08:04,440
Carried.
Business arising from notices of motion.

900

For the procedure bylaw 77-
>> Um so, there's none for Section 13, but

901
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:12,760
then 14.
>> Sorry. So, none for business arising

902
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:15,840
from notices of motion, but there is a
notice of motion and I'll read that out

903
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:23,240
now.
For the procedure bylaw 77-2023

904
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:23,240
uh S.155.1,

905

And at the second reading, it may be
debated, moved, and seconded.

909
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:47,799
All draft resolutions as presented are
for discussion purposes only and should

910
01:08:45,359 --> 01:08:52,000
not be considered as
the opinion or direction of council.

911
01:08:56,240 --> 01:09:03,279
» Where is
>> So, we have we have a notice

912
01:09:00,279 --> 01:09:08,240
» Yep. So, Councillor Tracy McGibbon will
read her her notice of motion.

913
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:11,200
» First reading?
I'm counselor McGibbon.

914
01:09:11,799 --> 01:09:19,080
» In accordance with section 15.1 of bylaw
77-2023,

915
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:24,000
being a bylaw to govern and regulate
proceedings of the corporation of the

916
01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:28,240
town of Bancroft, I Tracy McGibbon file
a notice of motion to be included in the

917
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:35,920
agenda of the next regular meeting of
council scheduled for May 26, 2026.

918
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:40,040
Subject: Landfill. Notice of motion.
Whereas the council of the corporation

919
01:09:40,839 --> 01:09:47,960
Oh, yeah, that was from before. So, I
don't need to read that.

920
01:09:44,799 --> 01:09:51,560
Sorry, that was from before. So, I Tracy
McGibbon

921
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:55,440
file a notice of motion. Subject:
Landfill. Notice of motion. Whereas the

922
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:59,800
council of the corporation of the town
of Bancroft currently permits a

923
01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:04,600
neighboring municipality to utilize our
municipal landfill site. And whereas

924
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:09,280
upon renewal, the current service
agreement or MOU needs to be adjusted to

925
01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:13,360
accurately reflect the rising
operational costs, long-term

926
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:17,920
environmental liability, site
maintenance, and cell closing costs

927
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:22,920
capital reserve requirements. And
whereas it is the financial

928
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:27,120
responsibility of this council to ensure
that our taxpayers are not subsidizing

929
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:32,120
the waste management and disposal costs
of a neighboring municipality to utilize

930
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:36,600
our landfill. And whereas on a per
dwelling basis, our taxpayers are

931
01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:41,720
currently paying a substantial amount
more to have access to our landfill

932
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:45,640
than our neighboring municipality paying
to access.

933
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:50,840
Now, therefore, be it resolved that
staff be directed to draft and bring

934
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:55,760
forward a more financially sound cost
recovery model, an agreement or MOU for

935
01:10:53,640 --> 01:11:00,280
our neighboring municipality to utilize
our municipal landfill, which shall

936
01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:03,720
include updating tipping fees, bin usage
fees, administrative fees,

937
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:08,680
transportation costs, labor costs,
closing cost contributions, and capital

938
01:11:06,440 --> 01:11:12,320
reserve contributions. This needs to be
finalized in a timely fashion as

939
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:16,560
municipalities are potentially
approaching the laying that period and

940
01:11:14,480 --> 01:11:19,000
the renewal period follows closely
after.
