[0:02] thank you

[0:04] good afternoon and welcome to the director

[0:08] meeting on wednesday february

[0:27] of just going back policy can't be here tonight

[0:31] so that's the regret

[0:34] my disclosure conflict of interest i have uh

[0:38] eight what is it

[0:40] eight feet thank you

[0:50] okay go to the approval of the minute for

[0:53] december 15th sometimes

[1:10] this business arriving

[1:15] no presentations tonight infrastructure committee councilor burns

[1:20] thank you madam mayor the committee met on february 3rd

[1:25] um information's in the package if anybody has questions

[1:30] we will be putting forward the suggested cost in the budget for

[1:34] increased security at our utility buildings

[1:37] following the break-ins that we had this early winter

[1:42] and [Music]

[1:45] anybody has any questions what's that entail counselor

[1:50] security

[1:54] here would actually poke back to our scada system

[1:56] and uh it would allow us to have security at every single one of our

[2:01] buildings so if there was alert it would automatically go through to

[2:05] whoever's on call to to follow up

[2:09] um because right now there's no security at these buildings

[2:13] and when we're talking about uh like this one that was broken into was

[2:19] that the north river lagoon uv building for example

[2:25] now at that time there were other businesses in cornwall that were broken

[2:28] into at the same time but that doesn't negate the fact that

[2:31] when you're discussing water supply and sewer

[2:34] that we need to be proactive to increase security in those areas

[2:41] so was that going to be tendered or something or we just

[2:46] well it would be part of our budget discussion um because it's an additional

[2:51] piece of software that can be hooked up to our current data system okay

[2:55] otherwise we'd be looking at putting in telephone lines with these

[2:58] buildings where there's no telephone currently okay and

[3:02] overall a long-term cost is projected to be quite higher if we

[3:08] work with like a security company or anything like that

[3:10] but hooking it up to software that we already have it increases the safety

[3:14] utilizes the system that we already have in

[3:17] is security cameras a part of that it's to my knowledge it is yeah

[3:23] okay great

[3:25] i'm just gonna ask kevin is it our shelly is the security camera part of

[3:29] that i think he actually had some security

[3:32] yeah i think what they're talking about here is audible alarms that this

[3:35] counselor barnes said to be tied into the scada system so that that'll ring

[3:38] automatically whoever's on call and then they can order proper authority that

[3:42] said okay

[3:44] although

[3:54] my understanding is that the cameras didn't catch a good picture

[3:58] it was too

[4:06] and this would be it's a panties too like if somebody's breaking into the

[4:09] building they would know then

[4:12] to call the irish have someone you know attend versus

[4:16] you know looking at camera footage after the fact after whatever's been done

[4:22] no good good great

[4:25] just one quick well the sidewalk contract is operating

[4:30] so this is going to go to

[4:34] correct yes then

[4:37] yes that contracts

[4:41] done at the end of this year right yes yeah

[4:46] and we also discussed the pesticide bylaw and an educational campaign around

[4:51] that so we'll be doing a little bit in the

[4:53] social media coming into the spring just to educate

[4:57] residents a little bit more on proactive approaches that they can

[5:02] do themselves as far as lawn management to prevent like cinch

[5:07] bugs for example or other issues so

[5:13] anybody have any further questions uh just a chair burns um

[5:19] was there any um because i know that we had a last minute
