done uh one item that came out of the
new business was the 2024 draft budget

19
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:46,439
they're going to be getting rid of some
of the phone lines down at the fire hall

20
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:52,399
which should reduce the
uh our costs from about $10,000 down to

21
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:55,840
about $4,000 because what did you say it
was about $100 a month

22
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:05,719
yeah so there's motion made that we
reduce the budget there and uh

23
00:02:03,399 --> 00:02:09,280
streamline a little bit some of the
lines will be saying so it doesn't

24
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:16,040
affect the fire fire an operation but

coun Joint Council with the MD uh slated

37
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:28,560
uh as the mayor alluded to uh fire event
debrief will be presented by our field

38
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,560
officer uh we'll be talking about our
joint capital projects and at that this

39
00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:36,519

recommending the fire department uh

40
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:43,000
presents their recommendation for their
bids for their rescue apparatus uh the

41
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:47,480
bid request for bids closes on January
5th and and I think this would be a good

42
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:53,599
time to review that with both councils
so both councils are aware of it only

43
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:57,920
the Town Council needs to award it uh
but then we come bring that to the next

44
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:02,439
council meeting uh for an official award
this but then uh MD will be involved

45
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:08,280

113
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:56,200
okay since we're there
thought okay moving on there's no

114
00:10:54,279 --> 00:11:05,839
unfinished business moving on item seven
new business 7.1 202 3 RFD for 2024

115
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:12,040
Fairview chamber exemption of property
taxes darl okay thank you Mr Mayor so uh

116
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:21,200
you see the next three items are tax
related uh 71 and 72 are tax exemption

117
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:32,040
requests on behalf of the uh mall on
Maine um and the uh individual uh leases

118
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:37,120
inside um so we we do have uh Council
does we'll have some I think uh every

119
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:43,440
three years so organizations like uh
Crossroads Legion we got quite a few uh

120
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:47,720
Council does uh that that own their
buildings and then request for a tax

121
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:53,240
exemption and you know the usually not
for-profits and providing services to

122
00:11:49,839 --> 00:11:58,920
our community um and then to exempt them
on their taxes so Council can can do

123
00:11:55,639 --> 00:12:07,560
that uh this one is uh a renter and
inside the mall and the when we reviewed

124
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:12,120
the uh lease the lease is not linked to
uh

125
00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:19,839
taxes so that's why our recommendation
is deny the request it only benefits the

126
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:27,800
ball owner not the
organizations so it doesn't uh reduce

127
00:12:24,199 --> 00:12:31,320
their leas from what we can see unless
you know because we actually ask as for

128
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:38,600
this information we provided it and we
conf and then sue and confirmed it um

129
00:12:34,279 --> 00:12:45,240
that their lease is not linked to taxes
so we at this point don't understand the

130
00:12:42,199 --> 00:12:48,880
point uh because it doesn't benefit the
person request the organization

131
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:55,000
requesting for the exemption which is
why we that we recommended to council

132
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:59,399
the deny the request from the food bank
and the uh

133
00:12:57,079 --> 00:13:05,000
chamber any comments or
question it's Tim here I I thought I

134
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:10,160
thought this was I I thought this was
odd it's it's I I'm just making a huge

135
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:15,839
assumption here but maybe the landlord
is charging in their portion of property

136
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,839
taxes it's it's it's odd it's

137
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:27,760
unusual not
sure so there's recommendation there at

138
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,800
the
bottom

139
00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:36,040
I I'll move uh I'll move that we proceed
with recommendation number one okay any

140
00:13:34,279 --> 00:13:41,320
more
discussion all in

141
00:13:38,680 --> 00:13:45,440
favor and that is
carried moving on to

142
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:51,399
[Music]
7.2 basically the same thing again

143
00:13:47,839 --> 00:13:57,800
correct yeah I I'll move uh the same for
this one recommendation uh number one

144
00:13:54,519 --> 00:14:02,639
that we we uh deny okay any more
discussion all in

145
00:14:00,279 --> 00:14:09,240
favor that is
carried moving on to 7.3 public auction

146
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:14,839
to be held March 14
2024 darl let you run with this yeah

147
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:20,120
this is a pretty standard uh some of
these are returning uh two are new the

148
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:25,240
some of the others are returning uh we
didn't uh so kind of how it works if we

149
00:14:23,839 --> 00:14:29,920
take the public
auction and if it doesn't sell the Miss

150
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:35,800
pellet has a fuel options one of the
options being nothing and so on some of

151
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:38,920
these we chose nothing and uh because we
don't we we're not recommending that the

152
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,959
municipality takes them over for
whatever reasons and so we're putting

153
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:50,320
them back up for the auction block as
per legislation um so yeah this is just

154
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:55,639
this is uh so we have to assess so we
have to put a minimum value on and

155
00:14:53,959 --> 00:15:01,000
that's based on the assessment so
council's got to make a few motions here

156
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:07,880
uh to give us the the go ahead to do the
public auction uh and those are the

157
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:12,040
three motions one being authorized
Administration to conduct a public

158
00:15:09,199 --> 00:15:17,880
auction on March 14th with the terms of
the sale outlined in uh the RFD uh

159
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:22,160
motion number two Council authorizes
Administration to use to suppli assessed

160
00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:26,440
values to set the reserve so that's
basically the minimum bid and

161
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:30,600
recommendation number three is the CAO
becomes the auctioner for the for this

162
00:15:31,079 --> 00:15:36,440
any discussion by Council any comments
questions

163
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:45,360
concerns I just want one more thing uh
and I just want uh Council to know that

164
00:15:42,319 --> 00:15:50,199
the auction is not near as exciting as
the one that happened at the Christmas

165
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:55,950
party um they tend to be quite uh
nobody's quite quiet so and not as messy

finance 8.1 the 2024 interim

174
00:16:40,759 --> 00:16:50,120
budget is this you or is this P yeah
I'll discuss it yeah uh you know pav

175
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:53,839
obviously put it all together um and you
know we put the RFD together it's pretty

176
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:59,880
straight forward here this is as
discussed at our last budget

177
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:03,919
meeting uh no surprises here the only
real change from the last was actually

178
00:17:01,959 --> 00:17:11,640
we actually got actual numbers for the
lgf so the LG is in the disc capital

179
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:15,120
budget here uh so we when we actually
got those numbers so it was a nice

180
00:17:13,199 --> 00:17:20,760
surprise it's higher than we thought so
that's a good

181
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:24,120
thing um yeah the the RFD kind of
explains kind of the highlights uh this

182
00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:32,039
does
reflect uh no ta no mill rate increase

183
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,039
for 2024 at this

184
00:17:32,120 --> 00:17:40,440
time um yeah so it's just the two
motions if Council so wishes is to adopt

185
00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:46,280
the 202 to adopt the operating budget is
the 2024 interm and then uh motion

186
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:53,640
number two is to adopt the presented uh
2024 capital is the 2024 interm capital

187
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:59,080
budget and as we know when we we will
adopt the final budgets in April but can

188
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:06,760
almost guarantee something's going to
change by then because it always tends

189
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:10,320
to but this is our best guess at this
time okay any

190
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:18,000
discussion somebody want to make a
motion okay I will move

191
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:23,799
the that we approve the presented
operating budget as the 2024 interim

192
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:30,679
operating budget okay all in
favor

193
00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:34,679
Tim yes and that's carried Jo do you
want to move your your hand up you want

194
00:18:32,039 --> 00:18:41,840
to move number two sure okay Joe's
moving number two all in

195
00:18:37,559 --> 00:18:48,360
favor Y and that is carried thank
you all right moving on to item nine

196
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:52,720
bylaws and agreements 9.1 compensation
during extraordinary circumstance

197
00:18:53,960 --> 00:19:00,320
policy is this you or is this yeah this
will be

198
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,320
myself

199
00:19:00,919 --> 00:19:08,240
okay so this one is based on a
recommendation uh to Caroline from so we

200
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:16,520
hired a consultant to help us do this
DRP uh and uh so this was recommended by

201
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:21,520
the consultant uh to help deal with uh
some of the costs some of the situations

202
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:28,799
and to help us move forward when we're
dealing with a new situation so some of

203
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:33,679
the highlights are uh salaried staff uh
would then be paid um which like with

204
00:19:31,559 --> 00:19:37,840
Carolina and myself and pavell and those
kind of people Sal were salaried staff

205
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:43,880
so we don't get overtime uh this would
allow uh compensation that way uh the

206
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:51,640
firefighters uh a couple things here is
that there is we found out after uh

207
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:56,039
there is actually a wild land rate so if
DRP is going to kick in and our

208
00:19:53,760 --> 00:20:00,799
firefighters were working in a dealing
with a Wildland Fire The Province

209
00:19:59,159 --> 00:20:07,440
actually has a different
rate so that they can be compensated

210
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:10,919
that rate uh and yeah that's pretty much
the highlights of it because any other

211
00:20:09,039 --> 00:20:14,640
staff that work overtime will get paid
overtime as per our policies because

212
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:18,520
it's there
um yeah that's that's kind of the

213
00:20:16,799 --> 00:20:22,520
highlights and that just kind of helps
uh uh this is some uh what this does

214
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:26,600
this will then also be submitted I think
the MD is doing it as well will be

215
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:34,120
submitted with the claim uh to help
cover some of the uh those as

216
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:37,000
well any thoughts of council comments
questions

217
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:45,039
concerns somebody want to make a
motion one way or

218
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:55,840
another I'll move it Jo move it okay all
in

219
00:20:52,000 --> 00:21:00,159
favor yes and that is
carried uh moving on there's no

220
00:20:58,120 --> 00:21:05,760
development mov on to item 11
correspondence 11.1 Fairview Northern

221
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:11,840
Lake a home and Sport show
2024 sponsorship partnership requested

222
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:15,480
by January 31st
2024 asking for

223
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:25,559
support you weren't here last time were
you sure was oh you were okay remember

224
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:30,960
you you were so uh so last time this was
done was 20 2018 uh they were going to

225
00:21:29,279 --> 00:21:35,120
do it every two years they were going to
do it in 20 but that little thing

226
00:21:32,559 --> 00:21:41,520
happened in 20 uh so they weren't able
to uh and in

227
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:46,320
2018 uh Council supported uh with
$115,000 yeah I couldn't remember what

228
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:50,880
we had done so I was I was hoping you
yeah we got this kind of last minute and

229
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:55,880
I got Su to pull it today so but it was
$155,000 in 2018 and so we took this out

230
00:21:53,760 --> 00:22:00,760
of our discretionary discretionary yeah
so it's not currently in the intern

231
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:05,159
budget just passed uh so if whatever
Council wishes to do we'll budget

232
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:08,320
accordingly or you can pass the buck on
to the economic development

233
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:17,799
committee Chris oh go ahead Joe no no I
was gonna no I was going to ask him a

234
00:22:14,559 --> 00:22:22,240
question but you go ahead first um what
is the economic development committee

235
00:22:20,159 --> 00:22:26,320
going to do with this okay that was my
question

236
00:22:23,799 --> 00:22:33,039
too we would most likely decide whether
or not we would sponsor like take from

237
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:36,919
our funding and probably
sponsor is that what we did last time we

238
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:41,919
took it from no it was discretionary it
was discretionary okay no we went and

239
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:44,480
figured out which yeah so it came so so
it wasn't the economic development

240
00:22:43,279 --> 00:22:47,960
committee that sponsored last time it
was actually came out of council

241
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:52,080
discretionary
okay we have

242
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:57,799
budgeted
75,000 48,000 for I remember it was I

243
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:02,640
just check that's what the number is
here oh yeah but there's yeah that most

244
00:23:00,120 --> 00:23:08,600
of that is already slated
yeah yeah so we would have to if Council

245
00:23:05,679 --> 00:23:13,679
wishes to uh it'll have there's really
only like 30 I going to say about 3,500

246
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:18,440
of not already
slated um so you know Stars already 10

247
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:23,919
stars is 10,000 there's a bunch already
slated there um there about 3500 or so

248
00:23:21,799 --> 00:23:28,679
that's not slated so if Council wishes
we're just going to amend that'll just

249
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:32,520
be put into the the operating budg
when he when he comes back in April and

250
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,200
then basically the economic development
committee wouldn't lose any of their

251
00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:41,880
funding they'd still have all their
funding correct yeah

252
00:23:38,559 --> 00:23:45,840
so so I'll ask the two members here what
your thoughts with econom

253
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,159
development I think

254
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,880
so

255
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:13,760
I'm thinking that we should uh leave
this

256
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:18,919
with with Council budget and not um have
to economic development that makes it so

257
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:23,000
that they're not limited with some of
the other activities they can do do that

258
00:24:23,159 --> 00:24:30,240
better you're Ming am I really you have
to yell no I heard him

259
00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:35,200
we're good we're good am I losing it I
thought I was talking

260
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:40,679
loud well now you're talking loud now
kidding now you're so Amanda what's your

261
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:46,559
thoughts Amanda I I agree with Chris I
mean might as well if if we're going to

262
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:51,880
offer funding and that it might as well
be through Council and not delegate

263
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:58,279
extra funds to Economic Development
Committee to

264
00:24:54,520 --> 00:25:04,640
then donate on behalf of the economic
development committee and the town it's

265
00:25:01,799 --> 00:25:11,039
just I I think for ease and also you got
to keep things

266
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:14,039
off keep keep the plates separate as it
were

267
00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:21,240
okay unless anyone else has any further
discussion I would recommend the

268
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:25,919
Platinum
sponsorship

269
00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:30,799
from from Council discretionary funds
exactly okay Jo that motion any more

270
00:25:31,039 --> 00:25:38,360
discussion go ahead go ahead Tim did I
misunderstand I thought I heard that

271
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:43,240
there was only 3,500 left of sponsorship
room or did I misunderstand that amount

272
00:25:41,159 --> 00:25:48,919
yeah that's just in the interm budget so
Council if they so wish you make this

273
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:53,360
whatever motion you make will be uh put
into the the budget when it comes back

274
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:58,919
in
April okay and then I'm good with u

275
00:25:56,120 --> 00:26:06,919

00:26:18,799 --> 00:26:24,480
2023 this coming out of when we met with
them no de in

280
00:26:26,159 --> 00:26:34,080
there it's just re this
correct okay all in

281
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:48,760
favor that is carried good job
Chris all right moving on to 11.3 local

282
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:48,760
government fiscal framework program lgf

283
00:26:51,159 --> 00:26:59,080
launch you want to speak any of this or
uh well the one thing I guess is uh I

284
00:26:57,039 --> 00:27:04,279
mean what's good is there there was a
good increase um and we knew the base

285
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:10,000
amount what the base amount was going to
be for 24 in 25 what we didn't know was

286
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:13,679
what was going to be the town's portion
how that was going to be portioned out

287
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:18,559
what's interesting I'd like to see how
they do it because actually Grimshaw is

288
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:24,200
getting more than us so it's interesting
how they're doing the formula we're not

289
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:31,760
too sure um AB mun was actually they're
doing a lobbying where they think it

290
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:36,520
should be not 722 million but like 2.4
billion and so you can see from this

291
00:27:33,919 --> 00:27:41,039
letter that's not going to happen uh so
they're just basing it on historical

292
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:46,840
where things should be at um they're not
wrong uh there's been a uh how much the

293
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:52,960
province has been allocating to
municipalities uh has been going

294
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:56,799
backwards not forwards so but this is
better than it's been for the last

295
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:59,399
couple years so we talk to to about you
know

296
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:03,440
that
question yeah he W he probably do he

297
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:07,799
won't know because that's not under his
portfolio because that's uh that's going

298
00:28:05,159 --> 00:28:11,200
to be Municipal Affairs uh we haven't
seen the formula I don't know how

299
00:28:09,559 --> 00:28:17,600
they're doing it but I think some of it
is tied to uh sustainability and and

300
00:28:14,279 --> 00:28:22,320
kind of Health yeah uh
so I'm going to go on a limb and saying

301
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:29,440
fact that Grimshaw got more than us is
probably maybe a good

302
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,440
sign based on their criteria

303
00:28:31,519 --> 00:28:40,600
okay want to just receive this one
correct yeah receive okay stand moving

304
00:28:37,159 --> 00:28:48,919
