Advising the mayor.

60
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,799
Ah, thank you, Mr. Mayor. So as

61
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:06,799
you can see, the

62
00:04:06,799 --> 00:04:08,799
veterinary committee continues to

63
00:04:08,799 --> 00:04:11,120
meet and get involved at different

64
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,560
levels. Uh, the main topics

65
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,200
discussed during these meetings are as

66
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,759
follows. Therefore, organization of

67
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:18,160
volunteer participation during the

68
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,639
two-ice tournament. Discussion

69
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:22,320
regarding the location made

70
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:23,720
available to the committee by the

71
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,199
Russian city. Approaching various

72
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:27,680
veterinary clinics to find

73
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,240
one interested in offering a

74
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,840
mobile veterinary service in our

75
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:33,400
region. Despite several approaches, these

76
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,880
efforts have not been conclusive

77
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,600
so far. And then there was a

78
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,479
congress of the

79
00:04:39,479 --> 00:04:41,000
Canadian Veterinary Medical Association at

80
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,400
Point Sédouard Island. So, madam, the

81
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,080
best person made the trip to attend this

82
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,440
meeting. Well, that makes contacts.

83
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,240
Sometimes you can find people who

84
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,000
might be interested in opening their own

85
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,000
clinic or having a locom service

86
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,479
if you can get an approved clinic.

87
00:05:00,479 --> 00:05:03,720
So the process continues. Well, we

88
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,840
hope it will be successful one

89
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:08,919
day and, to date, the committee

90
00:05:08,919 --> 00:05:11,680
is still active. We had another

91
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,479
student call because she was

92
00:05:13,479 --> 00:05:15,280
applying to become a

93
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:19,199
veterinarian, and he spoke with her and then

94
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:20,880
explained what we could do

95
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,319
for her.

96
00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:25,759
We know there is a great need but

97
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:27,600
it hasn't been fruitful so far,

98
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,360
but we hope there will be

99
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,120
good news one day.

100
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,000
Question advisor I know that maybe you won't have

101
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,400
the answers but that's it I had

102
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,479
two not two calls, I had a

103
00:05:41,479 --> 00:05:43,280
call from a person who came to

104
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:46,039
meet Éc the future veterinarian I had

105
00:05:46,039 --> 00:05:47,360
a discussion with another person

106
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,440
just by chance

107
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:50,720
then this person had never been

108
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,400
approached and probably she would be

109
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,240
available to come to them and that's what

110
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,479
she was telling me so that

111
00:05:57,479 --> 00:05:58,880
we could maybe talk about it

112
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,080
later I don't want to mention the name there

113
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,479
to bring it to the committee

114
00:06:03,479 --> 00:06:06,319
and see what can happen with it.

115
00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:07,840
If you have any information, always

116
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:10,080
contact the best lady who

117
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,639
currently works at B Fure. Can

118
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:17,189
certainly take the information, there was

119
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:18,599
Yeah, you don't have any news

120
00:06:18,599 --> 00:06:21,639
from July 22nd there

121
00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:22,240
No.

122
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:23,759
OK. And also, the

123
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:26,080
official registration of a clinic, what would it

124
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,840
take to get that? They

125
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:29,240
need help, they need the

126
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:30,880
city's support for this,

127
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:31,840
for a clinic,

128
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:33,000
well, that's not what it says in the

129
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,919
service site notes, they're

130
00:06:34,919 --> 00:06:36,000
still waiting for the official registration

131
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,080
of a clinic

132
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,400
to get locomotor equipment, what does it take, it

133
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:40,639
takes

134
00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:42,639
support from the city, they need help, well,

135
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:44,400
the clinic needs to get organized,

136
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,880
the installation needs to be done, the

137
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,550
machines and so on, okay, no, that's all, maybe there are

138
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,000
things that are delaying it, maybe it's

139
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,199
support that the city can

140
00:06:52,199 --> 00:06:53,560
give, we can look into it,

141
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:54,520
yeah,

142
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,710
and that's all, thank you, that's all, yes,

143
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,840
thank you. [laughs]

144
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:01,800
Centrreville d'entend dated

145
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,789
June 22nd.

146
00:07:03,789 --> 00:07:03,960
[clears throat]

147
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,120
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. So, uh, it was

148
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,000
a quick meeting. We talked about

149
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,759
the flowers that have been

150
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:17,400
installed in the city center.

151
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,639
The list of candidates was adopted. There was

152
00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:21,599
a dance activity with H Dance and

153
00:07:21,599 --> 00:07:23,759
Art Studio by Victoria. Uh, it took

154
00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:26,360
place at that moment, at the

155
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,919
moment we are speaking. Uh, it was

156
00:07:27,919 --> 00:07:29,280
a drop-in activity. People

157
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:30,400
arrived, they could do

158
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:31,319
things. There were times when there were

159
00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:32,520
more people, and times when there were fewer

160
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,759
people. AC, it was like in

161
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:36,319
10-minute blocks, so if someone

162
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:38,000
arrived, they could start, then

163
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,120
someone else could walk in and

164
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,759
join. Well, it's really meant to

165
00:07:40,759 --> 00:07:42,199
liven up the city center. It was good

166
00:07:42,199 --> 00:07:43,520
. I think this is something that will

167
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,960
be repeated. Uh, I think there was a

168
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,080
little problem with one of the

169
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,840
groups from the school daycare who were

170
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,680
supposed to be there, supposed to go, but

171
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,000
they weren't in the right place in the end

172
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,479
. There were, there were, uh, poorly

173
00:07:57,479 --> 00:07:59,039
filled-out permission forms,

174
00:07:59,039 --> 00:08:00,520
something like that, which meant that we ended up

175
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:01,560
not going, which meant that it would have been

176
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,950
a great group to lead, but I think we still want to, it's still something we want to

177
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,080
take over. I

178
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,639
think Victoria greatly appreciated it. Well, it's a

179
00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:10,199
way to

180
00:08:10,199 --> 00:08:11,560
bring a little more life into

181
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:12,520
the city center. The fact is, it was

182
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:13,639
really good.

183
00:08:13,639 --> 00:08:14,919
Uh, we had made a

184
00:08:14,919 --> 00:08:17,240
special request to the radio for a ride on

185
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,479
George Street. We really wanted to do

186
00:08:18,479 --> 00:08:21,560
something, uh, a little bit of cruising

187
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,240
on George Street there. The fact that people

188
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,159
would come in cars to stroll around and

189
00:08:25,159 --> 00:08:26,639
some could pass by in a car and

190
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:28,400
so on, pick up Mr Freez, have the

191
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:29,879
radio, make special requests,

192
00:08:29,879 --> 00:08:32,919
win prizes. But on the radio we're

193
00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:34,760
already doing something similar to some extent

194
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,279
. started, he was at the dollar

195
00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:39,000
store and so on, so they go to

196
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,959
places, uh, then it was Sin Financial

197
00:08:41,959 --> 00:08:44,680
who wanted to organize, so, uh,

198
00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:46,240
following certain matters, it was

199
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,680
postponed, it was rescheduled. Well, it's still

200
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:49,959
something we're

201
00:08:49,959 --> 00:08:52,760
considering, so if it's not this

202
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,480
year, it'll be next

203
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,720
year. Uh, there's

204
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,320
also the car exhibition we talked about. Uh,

205
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,800
again, we had tried to

206
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,640
line up some dates

207
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,120
with Edit Lear, who

208
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,910
really knows the scene, knows a lot about how it

209
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,320
works and on the circuit, because it's

210
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:13,560
a circuit where people travel around, so

211
00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:14,800
you can't steal

212
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,560
someone else's weekend.

213
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:18,079
Unfortunately, there was an

214
00:09:18,079 --> 00:09:20,839
unforeseen circumstance preventing him from taking his daughter to

215
00:09:20,839 --> 00:09:23,360
school for the weekend, which is what it could have

216
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,560
been. That means we'll have to do that again

217
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:28,040
too. But we're really excited to be

218
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,200
able to take it up again, to be part

219
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,320
of the circuit a little bit. There are sweet

220
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,680
spots there with dates you need to take,

221
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:34,839
it's not obvious. That's quite something

222
00:09:34,839 --> 00:09:36,839
. These are tanks that the

223
00:09:36,839 --> 00:09:38,240
world doesn't let out just any time or

224
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,959
in any situation.

225
00:09:39,959 --> 00:09:42,399
So, we'll continue to keep an eye on that

226
00:09:42,399 --> 00:09:43,920
. And then there is a

227
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,470
painting project in collaboration with the Rotari club

228
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,720
to create a mural in the city center.

229
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,240
Uh, really add a little bit of

230
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,440
public art, a little bit of

231
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,440
beautification. Well, flowers are fun

232
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,959
, but the fact remains that they need to be replaced

233
00:09:57,959 --> 00:09:59,160
every year. Putting

234
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,160
things in place, projects like that which are

235
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,120
added and which have

236
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,360
a lasting impact year after year, I

237
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,720
think that would be good, it would do

238
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,880
the city centre good. Uh, the

239
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,399
winter banners, they had a problem because some of them in the

240
00:10:11,399 --> 00:10:13,320
sun

241
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,800
shrank and now they don't fit anymore. Well, that's

242
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,040
something we're going to

243
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,079
replace, uh, the

244
00:10:19,079 --> 00:10:20,600
Christmas decorations and banners, it's something we're going to

245
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,360
try to

246
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,839
replace with, uh,

247
00:10:24,839 --> 00:10:28,200
the funds in reserve that we have for that, uh,

248
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,279
to really try to do

249
00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:30,920
something coherent that will work well

250
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,800
in the coming years. And

251
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,200
besides, that meeting wasn't bad at all.

252
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,839
Thank you very much, Joel.

253
00:10:37,839 --> 00:10:38,839
Uh now [clears throat] we are

254
00:10:38,839 --> 00:10:41,800
going to move on to the detachment council of

255
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,040
the B James

256
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,440
advisor

257
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:53,430
Mr. Mayor

258
00:10:53,440 --> 00:11:03,269
25

259
00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:05,200
order business

260
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,040
interest board meetings there was no

261
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,839
business arriving uh work in progress is

262
00:11:09,839 --> 00:11:14,680
the road closes highway 11 um over the

263
00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:18,560
last few months I would say the OPP has

264
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:22,560
heard what the northeastern um mayors

265
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:24,680
have been saying in the municipalities

266
00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:27,000
uh so they over the last few months

267
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,519
they've had 6 stops we've seen a lot of

268
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:33,120
arrests happening

269
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,680
um they're finding things in transports

270
00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:40,120
in cars transportations of drugs and

271
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,920
paranilia and a lot of stuff. Um so when

272
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,800
you're out driving on the highway we see

273
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,800
their present more and even within the

274
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,920
town limits, it's helped us a lot uh in

275
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,959
the community buse there's a lot of

276
00:11:52,959 --> 00:11:56,200
speeders so that's helping a lot. Um

277
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,600
there was also the mayor and the CEO

278
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,720
were to have a meeting about the road

279
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,240
conditions and the heavy vehicle part

280
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:14,189
later on that day.

281
00:12:14,199 --> 00:12:18,750
monsieur

282
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:25,710
special

283
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,720
irdate rapid resping

284
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,160
and then also they talked about the

285
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,040
hospital having new guards security

286
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:42,230
guards Hm hm.

287
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,440
Con on peut juste de un nouveau sujet. We

288
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,560
also talked about the air patrols

289
00:12:47,560 --> 00:12:50,399
between Lon Lac and H,

290
00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:51,880
once in a while, not all

291
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,440
the time. It depends on the availability of

292
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,920
the plane, but maybe we can have

293
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,000
that when we arrive there, especially with

294
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,959
the winter truckers who take

295
00:13:01,959 --> 00:13:03,600
chances if there is a plane that

296
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,320
could make it happen,

297
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,000
as we have talked. I don't know if it's

298
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:07,399
going to happen.

299
00:13:07,399 --> 00:13:10,000
Yeah, that's it. That's in the past. I don't know

300
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,920
if you've ever seen the yellow ones

301
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,680
when you arrive at the big centers.

302
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:15,480
Before, it was really someone who had to

303
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,040
watch the vehicle pass,

304
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,320
they set a timer, someone said go.

305
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,680
Then when it arrives, there are

306
00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:25,639
master calculations of the radars and it

307
00:13:25,639 --> 00:13:27,560
would be a good thing that even perhaps

308
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:28,839
when the paths are

309
00:13:28,839 --> 00:13:31,240
blocked, it would be to go and

310
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,639
check in advance to

311
00:13:33,639 --> 00:13:35,680
make sure that everyone is correct.

312
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:38,360
Then Guin wasn't there, but I was lucky enough

313
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,600
to be invited to the swearing-in

314
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,480
of an officer who, with the dog that will be

315
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,279
staying at H. That's a

316
00:13:47,279 --> 00:13:48,839
request we had in the past.

317
00:13:48,839 --> 00:13:51,959
Then well he was on Nan he was at the

318
00:13:51,959 --> 00:13:54,560
pee before there he was on Nan there he's

319
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:56,560
back at the pee so we're going to

320
00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:01,389
see the local dog so that this is

321
00:14:01,399 --> 00:14:04,399
no development in place but thank you for

322
00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:05,720
other questions to advise

323
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,880
Bergon

324
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,040
we continue

325
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,720
North Eastern Ontario Municipality

326
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,920
Association dated June 26 I was a little

327
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,360
disappointed because it's one of the times we had a

328
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,120
meeting at H

329
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,399
and a little more we didn't have corum and

330
00:14:23,399 --> 00:14:24,920
uh at

331
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,680
Can's with his team had prepared

332
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,360
food, had everything done everything and

333
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,240
everything I think that uh there is something that

334
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,360
was done a lot more than elsewhere so

335
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,519
I don't think we'll do it again if they don't

336
00:14:38,519 --> 00:14:41,040
want to come well

337
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,639
we'll keep it that way no other

338
00:14:42,639 --> 00:14:46,839
comments so we had

339
00:14:46,839 --> 00:14:48,639
discussions from the table

340
00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:50,160
we gave everyone who

341
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,120
was there a chance to speak. We had a

342
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,759
presentation

343
00:14:53,759 --> 00:14:56,720
from Horn Pain regarding the... You

344
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,800
know, when we got the Grants for the

345
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,000
houses, I don't know if you remember

346
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,639
Daniel, I think the federal government

347
00:15:02,639 --> 00:15:06,000
released a project, you could build 50

348
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,639
units in your city, but 50 units

349
00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:10,399
is too big for us. Then what we are

350
00:15:10,399 --> 00:15:12,519
talking about is that the

351
00:15:12,519 --> 00:15:14,440
government is the government that

352
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,480
when projects come along that have

353
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:21,040
10 units in Pain 20 in H20 in

354
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,120
Cap and so on and even small

355
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,320
villages, it is what is

356
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,680
correct and that they have support to do that,

357
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:34,720
uh, after that, well, Moonbeam,

358
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,680
a mother came back again with her, uh,

359
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,000
let's see, uh,

360
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,079
the spring there

361
00:15:44,079 --> 00:15:45,600
for the forest there and he says that it is

362
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,800
hard on

363
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,600
the food at the level of agriculture, it is not

364
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,720
simple, it is not the

365
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,279
first time that we heard him

366
00:15:55,279 --> 00:15:58,680
speak of that, his judgment

367
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:03,230
also concerns

368
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,199
the construction

369
00:16:05,199 --> 00:16:07,720
that is taking place

370
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,949
at the level of the communities.

371
00:16:10,959 --> 00:16:13,800
After that, there is

372
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,560
the correspondence between species and risk,

373
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,000
Caribou that I talked about. After that, we had

374
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,040
Objet ask us for support

375
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,360
for the parking lot for the

376
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,319
trucker.

377
00:16:28,319 --> 00:16:30,800
Uh,

378
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,440
after that, we have Valrita.

379
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,839
Valerita is asking for the same thing that

380
00:16:35,839 --> 00:16:37,199
we others have asked for in the past

381
00:16:37,199 --> 00:16:39,800
for fire trucks so that we don't have to

382
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,759
change them every 5 years, which is to

383
00:16:41,759 --> 00:16:44,519
have an extension like we had

384
00:16:44,519 --> 00:16:47,399
there, uh,

385
00:16:47,399 --> 00:16:54,870
part of that, it's not bad,

386
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,720
advisor Bruce Newton from Cap, not here,

387
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,519
I'm doing the report, advisor

388
00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:03,350
Newton,

389
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,039
not bad at all. I have some questions for you

390
00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:07,079
.

391
00:17:07,079 --> 00:17:09,039
Yes.

392
00:17:09,039 --> 00:17:11,280
I just wanted

393
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,079
people to see that Tim

394
00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:17,679
Boot mentioned that they launched

395
00:17:17,679 --> 00:17:18,600
Canada,

396
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:19,880
which was something

397
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,480
really impressive. People do

398
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,319
n't necessarily know that it's happening, but

399
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:26,400
uh, people from the aerospace industry, uh, there is, there is, there is

400
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,400
a big, big

401
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,919
aerospace competition taking place in

402
00:17:30,919 --> 00:17:32,840
Tminou where there are people from all

403
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,600
over. So I would invite

404
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,200
people to go and see Launch Canada

405
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,039
Challenge there just to see these are

406
00:17:39,039 --> 00:17:40,280
things that are happening in our region. That's

407
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,600
still impressive

408
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,440
. It's worth it. I think there's one nice

409
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,880
thing to highlight that I took away

410
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,919
from this meeting. Thank you,

411
00:17:48,919 --> 00:17:51,200
Joe.

412
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,799
It is resolved that the council take note of the

413
00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:54,160
reports and minutes of the

414
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,320
meetings of committees and

415
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:56,559
municipal councils presented at the

416
00:17:56,559 --> 00:17:58,520
regular council meeting held on July 28,

417
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:09,149
2026.

418
00:18:09,159 --> 00:18:10,880
Moved by Councillor Lauson seconded

419
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,720
by Councillor Billard for the

420
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,240
resolution

421
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,600
. Adopted, thank you.

422
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,679
Chief Administrator's Report. Report

423
00:18:20,679 --> 00:18:22,880
chief administrator officer question

424
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,029
comments.

425
00:18:26,039 --> 00:18:29,240
OK. Function of the council, function of

426
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:35,470
council, report of the public works committee,

427
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,679
operation committee, council.

428
00:18:39,679 --> 00:18:41,919
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Uh, the first

429
00:18:41,919 --> 00:18:44,679
topic is, uh, on the side of, uh, the

430
00:18:44,679 --> 00:18:46,280
exploitation of natural resources

431
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,280
in northern Ontario. Uh, what

432
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,960
I understood was that we were supposed to

433
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,200
have funds to develop and

434
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,200
repair paths on the natural resources side,

435
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,000
and then I think

436
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,760
money arrived there just at the last

437
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,400
minute, even before our

438
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,760
committee meeting, and the amount was

439
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,400
$139, almost $1400. And

440
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,039
then here is a recommendation that the

441
00:19:10,039 --> 00:19:13,240
council authorize the staff to

442
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,880
continue the steps for the funds

443
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,240
that would operate the Little

444
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,760
Gaspé Road from Route 183 to

445
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,880
Bin Road for the continuity of what 2 years

446
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,960
ago was

447
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,520
resolved that the council authorizes and

448
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:30,840
directs the municipal staff to

449
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,280
submit a funding request

450
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,799
to the body of the Northern Ontario

451
00:19:33,799 --> 00:19:35,320
Natural Resources Development Support Fund

452
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,080
for the

453
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,799
Gaspé Road Reflection Project from the

454
00:19:38,799 --> 00:19:58,390
South Road to Bin Road

455
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,600
proposed by councillor seconded by

456
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,000
councillor the mayor for the resolution

457
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,120
adopted thank you.

458
00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:10,029
This is the update on the

459
00:20:10,039 --> 00:20:13,760
Monjon and McManis Street Local Improvement Project. Update on the Mon and

460
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:18,039
Mcman Street Local Improvement Project.

461
00:20:18,039 --> 00:20:19,880
At the time of the meeting, all the

462
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,400
piping around the earth was

463
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,960
done, the gravel was put in place, it was

464
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,400
ready to receive the curbs. I don't know if they've

465
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,520
started. Yeah. They

466
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,559
started the cement curves. Then the

467
00:20:30,559 --> 00:20:31,919
spade will go there a little later

468
00:20:31,919 --> 00:20:33,280
, probably September to

469
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,960
complete the path to give it a

470
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,720
chance to compact properly before

471
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,840
laying the asphalt. So, I

472
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,640
think the work will be done with no extra costs,

473
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,559
if I understand correctly, and no

474
00:20:43,559 --> 00:20:45,039
surprises, which is very

475
00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:48,720
good. This is for informational purposes only.

476
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,840
Then the third topic is the

477
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:55,669
report on the

478
00:20:55,679 --> 00:20:57,480
water and wastewater system for the

479
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,440
month of April and May.

480
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,320
We had big, big variations

481
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,840
in the systems because of the

482
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,960
water level. The melting of the

483
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,240
river thaws, these are things that we cannot

484
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,480
control, but in the end, it was

485
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,070
very well managed.

486
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,279
The events had almost happened

487
00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:22,279
with the water levels playing a role in the

488
00:21:22,279 --> 00:21:25,919
thawing, but nothing major for the

489
00:21:25,919 --> 00:21:30,200
system. It's all types of information,

490
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,480
and then there were two new topics

491
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:32,840
that were addressed at the last minute.

492
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,960
I will leave them to our

493
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,799
administrator in numerical form.

494
00:21:36,799 --> 00:21:38,279
We're just going to

495
00:21:38,279 --> 00:21:39,799
adopt the report from the

496
00:21:39,799 --> 00:21:41,480
Public Works Committee, Martin, uh, Councillor Lanois. Therefore, it was resolved

497
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:42,720
to adopt the report of the

498
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:50,630
public works committee dated July 22, 2026,

499
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,000
proposed by the

500
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,440
secondary councillor, the mayor, for the

501
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,200
resolution

502
00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:03,105
adopted. Thank you

503
00:22:03,115 --> 00:22:04,799
[clears throat]

504
00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:07,480
Mr. Mayor. So the first topic

505
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:08,799
is the agreement with new construction

506
00:22:08,799 --> 00:22:10,400
for the spreading of granulus on chemin

507
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,080
blé roi and mec. As you know, on

508
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,640
April 14th the municipal council

509
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,840
approved a budget of 252,000 to buy

510
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,440
granular material and then carry out the work to

511
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,200
put the granular material on Chemin Bl Roi and Chemin

512
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,799
Mec.

513
00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:24,760
After the call for tenders, we had only

514
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,360
one bidder who

515
00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:28,840
entered at 320487

516
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,039
and 25. So approximately 68000 pieces in

517
00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:34,960
case we expected.

518
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,320
After we did a little

519
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:37,360
investigation, we realized

520
00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:38,520
that there was an error

521
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,000
in the conversion factor and

522
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,120
we requested too much equipment

523
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:45,799
from Villeneuve. So following this,

524
00:22:45,799 --> 00:22:47,000
we had discussions with Villeneu

525
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,360
to see if they were open to reducing

526
00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:50,200
the amounts. There were no problems.

527
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,520
The first discussion, the amount

528
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:56,160
entered was 268155.

529
00:22:56,170 --> 00:22:57,840
[clears throat] And indeed, yesterday

530
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,080
we had a revised quote for V9 which brings it down

531
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,400
to 259000. That's a little

532
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:03,520
lower. What is a service note?

533
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,159
Disassemble.

534
00:23:05,159 --> 00:23:05,799
It's still [clears throat] that there's

535
00:23:05,799 --> 00:23:07,080
a gap to fill after

536
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,880
23000 because for the whole

537
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,679
project, we still estimate even with the

538
00:23:10,679 --> 00:23:13,159
new quotation that the total cost

539
00:23:13,159 --> 00:23:15,440
of the project is around 275000.

540
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:16,400
That includes a little bit of a

541
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,640
contingency but also outside of

542
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,000
just Villeneu there is work on

543
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,760
our machines our equipment that must be

544
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,120
taken into account. So there is a shortfall

545
00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:24,799
of $23,000 to be filled, as it stands

546
00:23:24,799 --> 00:23:26,559
. Whatever we propose would be to

547
00:23:26,559 --> 00:23:28,640
take 23000 of the amount that was

548
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,279
entered as we had funds in the

549
00:23:30,279 --> 00:23:32,880
budget that we kept in Kazou. This

550
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,000
would be part of all that. So there would

551
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,559
not necessarily be an impact yet

552
00:23:35,559 --> 00:23:37,240
in relation to the budget and then to go

553
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,000
looking for other other pots of other

554
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,480
things. Why do we have a recommendation

555
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,279
? I don't know if it is

556
00:23:44,279 --> 00:23:45,880
resolved to adopt municipal bylaw

557
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,559
number 5526, which is a bylaw authorizing

558
00:23:48,559 --> 00:23:50,080
the signing of an agreement with City9

559
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,720
Construction to undertake

560
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,480
stabilization work on the

561
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,960
Blé Roi and Mec roads at a cost of

562
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,559
$259,879 plus HSD, and if it is

563
00:23:59,559 --> 00:24:02,710
resolved to grant an

564
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,000
additional budget allocation of $23,000

565
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,159
to cover the project shortfall to be

566
00:24:37,159 --> 00:24:39,080
financed from the contingency fund

567
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,039
included in the 2026 budget.

568
00:24:42,039 --> 00:24:43,840
proposed by Councillor Lenois, seconded by

569
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,159
the Mayor, for resolution,

570
00:24:47,159 --> 00:24:50,480
account adopted, thank you.

571
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,880
So the second additional subject

572
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,640
is also an agreement with Ville9

573
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,347
Construction to optimize it

574
00:24:57,347 --> 00:24:58,000
[clears throat] at a unit price

575
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,799
of 2880 for a total amount of 51840.

576
00:25:01,799 --> 00:25:03,399
That's something, the winter sand,

577
00:25:03,399 --> 00:25:05,640
as we often say, the reason we're

578
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:06,880
bringing it this year compared to

579
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,279
past years is the increase, bringing the

580
00:25:08,279 --> 00:25:10,120
threshold above 50000 which needs

581
00:25:10,120 --> 00:25:12,279
council approval, but apart from that it's

582
00:25:12,279 --> 00:25:13,520
in the budgets we

583
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:14,919
estimated when we made the budget in

584
00:25:14,919 --> 00:25:16,919
April.

585
00:25:16,919 --> 00:25:19,080
Therefore, our recommendation

586
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,440
is resolved that the contract

587
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,399
for the supply of optimized sand

588
00:25:22,399 --> 00:25:23,760
for the municipality's winter operations

589
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,440
be awarded to City

590
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,240
Construction at a unit price of

591
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,080
28.80 for a total amount of 51,840

592
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:49,630
dollars plus HST. This was

593
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,080
proposed by the second councilor,

594
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:53,840
the mayor,

595
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,279
for the resolution

596
00:25:56,279 --> 00:26:01,870
adopted. Thank you.

597
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,559
OK. Uh,

598
00:26:05,559 --> 00:26:09,990
report from the planning committee to the camp,

599
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,240
report from the parks and recreation

600
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,480
committee,

601
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,000
councillor,

602
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,679
thank you Mr. Mayor.

603
00:26:18,679 --> 00:26:20,320
Our number 1 topic is a request

604
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,840
from the Hor Hockey Association

605
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,760
for

606
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:32,190
free use of the La Limite Hall

607
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,720
.

608
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:36,679
Just to give you some

609
00:26:36,679 --> 00:26:39,080
context, this is the 5th consecutive year

610
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,159
that the hacky miner association of H

611
00:26:42,159 --> 00:26:44,080
uh has submitted a request for

612
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,080
free use of the room. the

613
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,720
limit uh for their tournament which is used

614
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,080
during the seasons. This is

615
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:57,080
the 2026-2027 season. Uh, and the

616
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,840
last four years, it was granted.

617
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,600
Uh, these events represent 10 days

618
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,720
of use of the hall, the limit, and then

619
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,159
in the event that the

620
00:27:08,159 --> 00:27:10,240
minor hockey association of Ser has

621
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,760
the opportunity to host

622
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,080
regional provincial tournaments during the

623
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,960
2026-2027 season, which is the NOH OHF. Uh,

624
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,520
free use of the

625
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,000
event space may also be

626
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,559
permitted.

627
00:27:25,559 --> 00:27:27,880
Uh, the financial involvement, we're talking

628
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,799
about $1424 and 78 cents plus TV, uh,

629
00:27:32,799 --> 00:27:34,919
excuse me, TVH.

630
00:27:34,919 --> 00:27:36,399
But you also have to take into

631
00:27:36,399 --> 00:27:40,240
consideration that it's good for

632
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:41,679
young people, it's good for the

633
00:27:41,679 --> 00:27:43,720
community.

634
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:49,389
We have a recommendation for that.

635
00:27:49,399 --> 00:27:50,799
It is resolved that the council grant

636
00:27:50,799 --> 00:27:52,440
free use of the hall

637
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,240
to the minor hockey association

638
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,880
for its training camp and

639
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,679
tournaments for the 2026-2027 season, suggesting

640
00:27:58,679 --> 00:28:00,080
that municipal programming and

641
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,240
existing rentals should not be affected.

642
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:09,950
Council authorization

643
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:17,070
2026

644
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,120
proposed by councillor Dr seconded by

645
00:28:20,120 --> 00:28:24,120
Guin or councillor

646
00:28:24,120 --> 00:28:26,200
for the resolution

647
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,360
adopted thank you

648
00:28:28,360 --> 00:28:30,880
second subject then there if I miss anything

649
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,080
Mr Eric you will be able to see jump

650
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,080
in, it is a big file then I

651
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,080
entered quite a bit at the end of the file. It's

652
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,320
either a "well" or, I should say, an ongoing case

653
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,159
. This is an update on the

654
00:28:43,159 --> 00:28:44,799
improvement project at the

655
00:28:44,799 --> 00:28:47,320
Claude Larose Recreation Centre. Update on the

656
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,399
Claude Larose Recreation Center

657
00:28:49,399 --> 00:28:52,279
Improvement Project. Uh, again, on

658
00:28:52,279 --> 00:28:54,279
April 18, 2024, there were

659
00:28:54,279 --> 00:28:55,679
funding opportunities for the

660
00:28:55,679 --> 00:28:58,159
municipality that were announced as part of the

661
00:28:58,159 --> 00:29:01,750
fund for

662
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,440
community sports and recreation infrastructure.

663
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,919
On October 28, 2024, the council

664
00:29:05,919 --> 00:29:07,760
authorized municipal staff to

665
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,320
submit a funding request to the

666
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,399
Ministry of Sport for a project

667
00:29:12,399 --> 00:29:17,389
totaling $904,000, excuse me,

668
00:29:17,399 --> 00:29:20,039
$904,200, which includes a

669
00:29:20,039 --> 00:29:23,200
30% municipal contribution, uh, which is estimated at $

670
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,760
271,260.

671
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,240
On May 30, 2025, the city obtained

672
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,640
approval for maximum funding

673
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:35,440
of $452,100, which represents 50% of the

674
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,159
total project cost.

675
00:29:38,159 --> 00:29:40,080
Subsequently, on November 10, 2025, the

676
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:41,640
city council authorized the

677
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,880
signing of a funding agreement

678
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,000
with the province and confirmed the

679
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,600
city's commitment to assume

680
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,600
half of the costs for a project

681
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,679
totaling $904,000.

682
00:29:53,679 --> 00:29:55,760
$904,200, excuse me.

683
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,159
The exterior door replacement project

684
00:29:58,159 --> 00:30:00,480
involves replacing

685
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,320
17 doors at the Arena recreation center,

686
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,600
which was scheduled for completion on July 14, 2026.

687
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,200
Work has progressed

688
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,919
up to door number 10, in accordance with

689
00:30:11,919 --> 00:30:14,480
the established execution schedule. The

690
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,120
project is proceeding as planned. There is

691
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:17,679
no problem. There have been no

692
00:30:17,679 --> 00:30:21,440
major unforeseen events so far. Uh, the

693
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,080
elevator renovation project is progressing

694
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,799
according to plan. The

695
00:30:25,799 --> 00:30:28,200
equipment necessary for the execution of the

696
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:32,279
work was received on June 30, 2026,

697
00:30:32,279 --> 00:30:35,080
dated July 14, 2026, following

698
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,799
a discussion with representatives

699
00:30:36,799 --> 00:30:41,360
of TK Elevator. Um, they've planned for

700
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,039
the work to start in the

701
00:30:43,039 --> 00:30:46,480
next few weeks and it will

702
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,880
take place over a period of 4 to 5

703
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,640
weeks.

704
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,480
Regarding the improvement of

705
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,240
sanitary facilities, the project

706
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,279
includes the renovation of 11

707
00:30:56,279 --> 00:30:59,279
bathrooms. The progress of the work as of

708
00:30:59,279 --> 00:31:02,600
July 14th is as

709
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,000
follows. Okay, I'm just going to give you

710
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,799
a quick recap.

711
00:31:06,799 --> 00:31:08,120
The bathroom on the boundary has been

712
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,639
completed since the beginning of

713
00:31:09,639 --> 00:31:12,159
April. The bathroom in the room with

714
00:31:12,159 --> 00:31:14,200
the two mirrors has been completed since

715
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,240
mid-mid. The bathroom in room 27

716
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:18,679
has been completed since the end of

717
00:31:18,679 --> 00:31:21,720
March. The pool bathrooms have been

718
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,240
completed since the beginning of May.

719
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,519
The bathrooms in rooms 1 through

720
00:31:26,519 --> 00:31:29,600
8 are almost finished.

721
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,720
Only the installation of the ceramic tiles

722
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,039
in the showers remains to be done.

723
00:31:34,039 --> 00:31:35,760
which should be done within the

724
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,919
next few weeks. The

725
00:31:37,919 --> 00:31:40,080
referees' bathroom only requires the installation of

726
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,799
ceramic tiles in the shower to be

727
00:31:41,799 --> 00:31:45,000
completed. Bathroom of room

728
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,600
26. Again, it's the same thing. The

729
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,559
ceramic tile installation is what still needs

730
00:31:49,559 --> 00:31:52,200
to be completed. And the

731
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,039
lumberjack bathroom requires

732
00:31:54,039 --> 00:32:01,629
floor finishing in order to complete the work.

733
00:32:01,639 --> 00:32:06,480
And then for

734
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,320
my third topic, it won't be too long, it's

735
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:09,919
the annual maintenance of

736
00:32:09,919 --> 00:32:14,909
the municipal swimming pools.

737
00:32:18,519 --> 00:32:20,399
For many years the

738
00:32:20,399 --> 00:32:22,679
Stéphane Lecour swimming pool has closed its doors for

739
00:32:22,679 --> 00:32:24,799
a period of two to three weeks at the end

740
00:32:24,799 --> 00:32:26,720
of the school year in order to carry out the

741
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,720
annual maintenance work.

742
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,159
This period is essential to

743
00:32:31,159 --> 00:32:32,679
carry out inspections, to make sure

744
00:32:32,679 --> 00:32:34,240
that everything is in good condition, the

745
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,240
deep cleaning, the necessary repairs

746
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,240
if there are any. It is also necessary to check that

747
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,600
the installations are functioning correctly.

748
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,320
This work helps to preserve the

749
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,200
quality of the infrastructure, to

750
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,120
extend the life of the pool, and to

751
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:48,919
ensure that the pool meets

752
00:32:48,919 --> 00:32:52,000
current safety standards.

753
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000
The annual interview took place

754
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,360
from June 22nd to July 12th. The pool

755
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,880
was reopened on July 13, 2026.

756
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,240
Uh, every 2 years, there is

757
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:03,919
more in-depth maintenance

758
00:33:03,919 --> 00:33:06,440
required. This year, the pool was

759
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,200
completely emptied to allow for a

760
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,760
full inspection of the basin, to make

761
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,320
sure everything was in good condition, a

762
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,519
thorough cleaning and the repair

763
00:33:13,519 --> 00:33:16,399
of joints or repointing or

764
00:33:16,399 --> 00:33:18,519
replacement of grout or whatever

765
00:33:18,519 --> 00:33:20,880
small things need to be done

766
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,159
where necessary. This

767
00:33:23,159 --> 00:33:25,440
work is essential to

768
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,440
maintain the structural integrity of the

769
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,639
basin, prevent

770
00:33:31,639 --> 00:33:33,919
water infiltration, and ensure the maintenance of standards,

771
00:33:33,919 --> 00:33:37,039
quality, and safety.

772
00:33:37,039 --> 00:33:42,110
Everything was beautiful on that side. That's

773
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:43,000
all.

774
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,200
Excuse me.

775
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,039
THANKS.

776
00:33:46,039 --> 00:33:47,440
It was resolved to adopt the report of the

777
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,399
Parks and Recreation Committee dated

778
00:33:49,399 --> 00:33:56,629
July 23, 2026,

779
00:33:56,639 --> 00:33:58,519
proposed by Councillor Berjon, seconded by

780
00:33:58,519 --> 00:34:00,320
Councillor Berjon. Do you have any

781
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,159
questions or comments to advise

782
00:34:02,159 --> 00:34:04,840
Delais?

783
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,280
Everything was clear regarding the

784
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,520
adopted resolution.

785
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,430
Thank you,

786
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,200
now we will move on to the report of the

787
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,399
finance committee, Ms. Vachon please

788
00:34:19,399 --> 00:34:20,040
.

789
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,839
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. So item

790
00:34:21,839 --> 00:34:24,960
number 1, it has been removed from

791
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:30,000
tonight's agenda. Uh, settled.

792
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,720
Yes,

793
00:34:31,720 --> 00:34:32,440
we [clears throat] when we had

794
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,560
made the calls for tenders

795
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,399
for someone to clean

796
00:34:36,399 --> 00:34:38,993
certain municipal places, uh

797
00:34:38,993 --> 00:34:39,520
[clears throat] we had four

798
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:40,879
places where there was no one in the

799
00:34:40,879 --> 00:34:42,359
bids or the prices were too

800
00:34:42,359 --> 00:34:43,679
high. We had started looking at the

801
00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:46,320
options of abusing an employee or having

802
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:47,879
someone else do it. Then the

803
00:34:47,879 --> 00:34:49,200
bidder who was number 1 and the

804
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,960
cheapest showed interest in doing it

805
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,359
. So we are in negotiations

806
00:34:52,359 --> 00:34:53,320
to try to finalize and then

807
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,990
sign contracts.

808
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,000
OK

809
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,640
thanks.

810
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,030
Uh, the second item,

811
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,920
municipal procurement policy update.

812
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,400
So naturally we had a

813
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,079
policy and it dated from 2004,

814
00:35:12,079 --> 00:35:14,480
it was revised in 2016 and then had

815
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:15,680
several small changes over

816
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,880
the years. So we put our hands on the

817
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,720
door and now we have a new

818
00:35:20,720 --> 00:35:24,160
policy which is presented

819
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,040
in the following pages. The

820
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,040
major changes are

821
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,240
the increase in the amounts that

822
00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:31,480
must be approved by the council.

823
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,079
Uh, conflicts of interest,

824
00:35:33,079 --> 00:35:34,280
clarification of employee roles and

825
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,040
responsibilities and boardrooms

826
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,240
, refinement of processes

827
00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:40,960
for purchasing RFQs, RFPs,

828
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,680
things like that, updating of

829
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,880
publication requirements again for

830
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,680
RFPs, RFQs, credit card purchases

831
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,480
, creation of a table for

832
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,880
purchasing and then updating the annex

833
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,680
which is a list of goods or

834
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,720
circumstances why we do not need a

835
00:35:58,720 --> 00:36:01,880
call for tenders. So uh the

836
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,440
authorizations and responsibilities of the

837
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,040
council, the council approves the

838
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,119
uh [clears throat]

839
00:36:06,119 --> 00:36:09,280
operational and capital budgets and then uh we

840
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,720
approve the additional expenditures. There

841
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:13,240
could be cases such as

842
00:36:13,240 --> 00:36:16,280
emergency situations where

843
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,839
the administrator could

844
00:36:18,839 --> 00:36:20,520
make purchases and then provide

845
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,480
details to the board, and then items

846
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,000
that are necessary for

847
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,640
daily operations that are done there on a

848
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,280
recurring basis.

849
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:34,550
So, there are some

850
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,400
significant changes there.

851
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,079
We need an agreement, or if we

852
00:36:40,079 --> 00:36:42,240
need to sign an agreement, if the

853
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:44,079
council must approve the agreement before we

854
00:36:44,079 --> 00:36:46,280
start making purchases. Uh, the

855
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,000
council must also

856
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,160
approve purchases exceeding

857
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,309
999999.

858
00:36:53,319 --> 00:36:55,359
Uh, the council must approve any

859
00:36:55,359 --> 00:36:57,599
purchase that deviates from the

860
00:36:57,599 --> 00:37:01,560
purchasing policies if the purchases exceed the

861
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,680
amounts approved in the budget by 10% or

862
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,640
by an amount of $20,000. Well, if the

863
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,720
choice of the bidder was made, we

864
00:37:10,720 --> 00:37:12,440
chose the person who was not

865
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:17,000
the cheapest. Well, if there's

866
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,800
no budget to approve the expenditure.

867
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,920
Then, uh, these are all reasons

868
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,839
why the council must approve

869
00:37:23,839 --> 00:37:27,319
purchases that are a little

870
00:37:27,319 --> 00:37:29,800
out of the ordinary. Uh, conflicts

871
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,880
of interest, one of the members of the board

872
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:33,960
must not be involved in

873
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,720
any way in the processes. It takes

874
00:37:36,720 --> 00:37:39,960
POs for all purchases. Credit cards

875
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:41,920
, we try to use them as little as

876
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,359
possible.

877
00:37:43,359 --> 00:37:46,200
Uh, changes at the RFQ and

878
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:47,760
RFP level. Well, that's

879
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,680
not bad. On page 21

880
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,280
of the documents, there is a list

881
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:54,560
showing the amounts that need to be

882
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,960
approved by whom. Uh, we also have uh,

883
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,839
section 12, we can see

884
00:38:00,839 --> 00:38:04,040
emergency purchases, these are exemptions and then

885
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,200
uh, that's pretty much it. Good policy,

886
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:11,670
thank you for the great work.

887
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,280
resolved to adopt Municipal Order

888
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,640
No. 56 2026, being an order

889
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:16,839
establishing the new

890
00:38:16,839 --> 00:38:19,280
municipal procurement policy, and which is

891
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:20,720
resolved to adopt Municipal Order

892
00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:23,680
No. 5726, being an order amending By-

893
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,480
law No. 112 2025 on the

894
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,079
delegation of powers in order to delegate to the

895
00:38:28,079 --> 00:38:29,800
chief administrative officer the authority to

896
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,790
draft and execute

897
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,440
procurement contracts

898
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:06,030
with a maximum value of $99,999.

899
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:07,839
proposed by Councillor Vacant, seconded

900
00:39:07,839 --> 00:39:11,480
by Councillor, and the for the resolution

901
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,400
adopted. Thank you so much.

902
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,359
Uh, 3rd topic, appointment of an

903
00:39:17,359 --> 00:39:20,720
assistant treasurer.

904
00:39:20,720 --> 00:39:23,960
So following the departure of the treasurer,

905
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,160
uh the board appointed the

906
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:31,440
chief administrator uh as Acting Treasurer and

907
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,160
then it's on an interim basis

908
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,720
until we have a

909
00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:40,079
permanent hire. So we believe it's

910
00:39:40,079 --> 00:39:42,160
a good idea to have another

911
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,200
person available since we might have an

912
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,160
urgent need and someone

913
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:48,520
might be on vacation or something like

914
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,040
that. So we have a resolution

915
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:58,550
here to appoint Sonia Col as deputy president,

916
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,920
or to adopt

917
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,480
municipal decree number 5826, which is a decree

918
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,839
appointing Sonia Col as deputy treasurer of

919
00:40:06,839 --> 00:40:09,599
the corporation of the city of

920
00:40:09,599 --> 00:40:18,150
586,

921
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:19,920
proposed by Councillor Vachon seconded

922
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,160
by Councillor Lausant for the

923
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:27,720
resolution when adopted. THANKS.

924
00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:32,520
Our third theme is, uh,

925
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,800
a

926
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,280
mid-term financial review. So here we have

927
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:45,440
a table with the different

928
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,480
operating expenses, revenues and

929
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,440
operating expenses, and also capital expenses. Then uh

930
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:51,880
the chief administrator and his

931
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,960
team, they really uh brought

932
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,119
comments to explain where there were

933
00:40:57,119 --> 00:40:59,160
big variances. Well,

934
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,079
most of the variances are due to

935
00:41:01,079 --> 00:41:03,240
timing. We know that some things

936
00:41:03,240 --> 00:41:05,599
happen more towards the end of the year. We must

937
00:41:05,599 --> 00:41:07,760
also remember that we approved the

938
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,160
budget in April. So there are many of

939
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:11,760
these expenses that are just

940
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,040
beginning. We are doing construction work here

941
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,079
, and it's already been 6 months.

942
00:41:16,079 --> 00:41:18,079
So most of the variances can

943
00:41:18,079 --> 00:41:20,319
be explained by timing, but we

944
00:41:20,319 --> 00:41:22,160
can see that things are going very well in terms of

945
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:27,470
current budgets and expenditures. That's

946
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,750
all.

947
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:32,200
resolved to adopt the report of the

948
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,319
finance committee dated July 21,

949
00:41:34,319 --> 00:41:40,829
2026

950
00:41:40,839 --> 00:41:43,160
proposed by councillor second councillor

951
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:47,079
for the resolutions

952
00:41:47,079 --> 00:41:48,560
thank you councillor thank you

953
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,230
Mr.

954
00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:53,800
Finance representative

955
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,800
of the policy committee councillor the uson

956
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,960
thank you Mr. Mayor so the first

957
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:00,200
point. It's always a fun event, it's

958
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,000
the 2026 bicycle rodeo.

959
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,400
Uh, I want to say a huge

960
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,119
thank you to Mrs. Bastarach and her team

961
00:42:08,119 --> 00:42:09,520
for the rodeo. It was a great

962
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,760
success, a resounding success this year. Uh, there was a

963
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,200
lot of participation, uh,

964
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,280
the bicycle draw and so on. The

965
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,240
people and the shopkeepers were generous;

966
00:42:19,240 --> 00:42:21,359
they gave away many prizes. If this

967
00:42:21,359 --> 00:42:23,200
continues, it won't be about prizes, it'll

968
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:24,520
just be everyone getting

969
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,400
stuff because

970
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,200
people were really encouraged. Well, it was

971
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:29,359
lovely to see Mrs.

972
00:42:29,359 --> 00:42:33,109
Bastarach talking about it because you can see that it's something that's close to her

973
00:42:33,119 --> 00:42:36,640
heart. Uh, it even happened

974
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,400
outside this year instead of in

975
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,920
the arena. Uh, and it's true, when she

976
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,119
said that, I remember that in

977
00:42:42,119 --> 00:42:43,920
the arena, there are slippery patches,

978
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,160
uh, on a bicycle. Then I don't want to

979
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,000
when we go cycling,

980
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:48,880
usually it's outside. So in the

981
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:50,920
future, that's what we're looking at here, if the

982
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,359
temperature allows it, it would be outside.

983
00:42:53,359 --> 00:42:55,599
People really enjoyed it. It was

984
00:42:55,599 --> 00:42:57,640
really fun.

985
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:58,960
There was the participation of

986
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,240
Clinton Brown school this year, which

987
00:43:01,240 --> 00:43:03,240
was, well, a

988
00:43:03,240 --> 00:43:06,119
first. There were the

989
00:43:06,119 --> 00:43:09,079
young people who came down from Matis,

990
00:43:09,079 --> 00:43:11,200
there were Saint who came. So it

991
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,920
was a really, really great

992
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,920
success. Then it's something

993
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:17,640
to repeat, even that Mrs.

994
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,000
Bassarach suggested we start

995
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,359
doing a little research for

996
00:43:21,359 --> 00:43:23,280
other trials, other

997
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,440
similar projects or if there would be

998
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,280
different stations. Well,

999
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:28,559
with the support of the

1000
00:43:28,559 --> 00:43:29,760
community, we might be able to

1001
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,240
make the stations a little

1002
00:43:32,240 --> 00:43:34,040
more interesting, a little more

1003
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,480
interactive for young people. Uh, then

1004
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,800
we even floated the idea of ​​having a

1005
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:42,000
family section either in the evening or on a

1006
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,280
weekend. But that's fun. I

1007
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,240
think that this is something that will happen, that this will be done

1008
00:43:46,240 --> 00:43:47,559
with the schools. So we would

1009
00:43:47,559 --> 00:43:49,839
n't want to lose that aspect either. Well, that being the case, that

1010
00:43:49,839 --> 00:43:51,920
was still a huge

1011
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,160
thank you. Uh, point number 2,

1012
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,480
it's the "Let's aim for cleanliness 2026" campaign,

1013
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:01,440
the 2026 Pitchin. Uh, I think we talked about it

1014
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,559
last year, uh, we didn't

1015
00:44:03,559 --> 00:44:05,680
really have any news from

1016
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,440
Pitchin, which is the provincial entity,

1017
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,119
I think, uh, or provincial or federal.

1018
00:44:11,119 --> 00:44:13,680
Uh, cit was an entity that used to

1019
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,480
supply bags and so on.

1020
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,400
Last year we did it ourselves, we

1021
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,599
provided the bags because then we did it again

1022
00:44:19,599 --> 00:44:22,680
this year, uh, the website

1023
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,400
no longer exists, etc. I think that the

1024
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,319
pitchin pitchin is no longer

1025
00:44:27,319 --> 00:44:29,599
unfortunately but several places

1026
00:44:29,599 --> 00:44:32,240
have started to rebrand and then do it

1027
00:44:32,240 --> 00:44:33,400
. It's not something we

1028
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,480
want to stop doing either. Uh, there was

1029
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,640
a day that was suggested uh in

1030
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,319
May at the

1031
00:44:39,319 --> 00:44:41,520
provincial level, but uh, we still have

1032
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:42,880
snow, so it's not the best time to

1033
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,200
go and collect on the side of the

1034
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:45,520
road because we can't see what there is

1035
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,960
to collect. Uh, on the other hand,

1036
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,160
from that perspective, uh, it's certain

1037
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,480
that the costs are quite uh, minimal.

1038
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,319
If it's bags and so on, it's

1039
00:44:54,319 --> 00:44:56,280
really about coordinating the city. Then that

1040
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:57,280
really gives a boost, I

1041
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,079
think. It's worth it. So, the question is

1042
00:44:59,079 --> 00:45:00,160
how we can

1043
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:01,960
relaunch it next year, perhaps

1044
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,119
under a different brand. Well, either

1045
00:45:04,119 --> 00:45:05,400
keep the pitch because people

1046
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,839
know it or do something else but

1047
00:45:07,839 --> 00:45:10,040
still keep the spirit of the thing

1048
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:11,400
alive because we still believe that it is

1049
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,720
very important. That

1050
00:45:13,720 --> 00:45:16,240
was also a point of information.

1051
00:45:16,240 --> 00:45:17,480
Uh, the next point is the

1052
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,400
proposed delegation of power for the

1053
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,599
renewal of the beautiful commercial properties

1054
00:45:21,599 --> 00:45:23,480
at 801 rue George. So proposes

1055
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,240
Delegation of Authority for Rene of

1056
00:45:25,240 --> 00:45:28,559
Commercial Leases at 801 George Street.

1057
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,240
So this is, uh, for those familiar with it, this is

1058
00:45:31,240 --> 00:45:33,440
where the library is and also

1059
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,520
the other shops in this building

1060
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,720
. Well, the city is

1061
00:45:38,720 --> 00:45:40,839
in a rather curious situation. We rent

1062
00:45:40,839 --> 00:45:44,680
to people, uh, we do what we do, we

1063
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:49,200
are landlords. Well, that being said, all

1064
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,520
the leases would have to come, would have

1065
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,200
to come here. Some

1066
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,000
negotiations have concluded, and

1067
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,319
others are coming

1068
00:45:56,319 --> 00:45:57,319
soon. The fact that all the leases

1069
00:45:57,319 --> 00:46:00,359
would have to come here. Uh, just for

1070
00:46:00,359 --> 00:46:02,960
basic renewals with, you know,

1071
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,359
indexation to the cost of living and so on.

1072
00:46:05,359 --> 00:46:07,640
We don't really think we need to

1073
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,280
do that. This is something that

1074
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,160
could be done automatically.

1075
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:12,720
So it would involve delegating those powers

1076
00:46:12,720 --> 00:46:14,599
. It should be noted, however, that if there are

1077
00:46:14,599 --> 00:46:18,599
major changes, something new,

1078
00:46:18,599 --> 00:46:20,040
something big that

1079
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,240
changes, even if it was with someone

1080
00:46:22,240 --> 00:46:25,230
who has been there for a long time, there are changes, there are

1081
00:46:25,240 --> 00:46:26,720
changes that are not usual,

1082
00:46:26,720 --> 00:46:28,880
let's say. It will come back eventually, and then we will

1083
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:30,240
need the

1084
00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:32,440
council's approval. This is just for the basic day-to-

1085
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,599
day renewal, which

1086
00:46:34,599 --> 00:46:37,400
is the recommendation.

1087
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,040
resolved to adopt Municipal By-law

1088
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,880
No. 5926, an amendment to By-

1089
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,040
law No. 1125 concerning the delegation

1090
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:45,680
of authority, in order to delegate to

1091
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:47,160
the Chief Administrative Officer the authority

1092
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:48,880
to approve and execute

1093
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,520
renewals of commercial leases with

1094
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:51,760
tenants of the

1095
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,240
municipal property located at 801 George Street,

1096
00:46:54,240 --> 00:46:55,760
conditional upon the renewal

1097
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:56,960
retaining substantially the same

1098
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:02,109
terms as the existing lease.

1099
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:26,760
Proposed by Councillor Lauson, seconded

1100
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,839
by Councillor Vachon, for the

1101
00:47:29,839 --> 00:47:34,870
resolution when adopted. Thank you. So

1102
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,640
the next item is item

1103
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,760
number 4, which is the 2025-2026 Annual Report

1104
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:47,069
of the Ontario Board of Buildings.

1105
00:47:47,079 --> 00:47:49,720
So you have, uh, you have

1106
00:47:49,720 --> 00:47:53,839
excerpts. The town of Hurst is actually

1107
00:47:53,839 --> 00:47:56,359
part of it as well. There were, uh, if I'm not

1108
00:47:56,359 --> 00:47:59,200
mistaken, three requests and then, uh, it should be

1109
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,440
noted that N, who can do, can make

1110
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,319
interventions with

1111
00:48:05,319 --> 00:48:08,599
the ombsman for the city of Hst. Well, that doesn't

1112
00:48:08,599 --> 00:48:10,160
always mean it will

1113
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:11,960
lead to something.

1114
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,800
Bodsman still has to do some

1115
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:18,760
research, sometimes it will even lead

1116
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:20,079
to communicating with the

1117
00:48:20,079 --> 00:48:21,319
staff. I think they went there to

1118
00:48:21,319 --> 00:48:23,280
get information, but

1119
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:24,880
nothing came of it. We are still doing

1120
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,480
well, and

1121
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,160
we have had that, it has been

1122
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,163
good for this year.

1123
00:48:32,163 --> 00:48:33,760
[grunt]

1124
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,280
Thank you councillor,

1126
00:48:37,720 --> 00:48:40,280

adopted. Thank you, Laon councillor.

1131
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,720
Now, we will move on to the

1132
00:48:59,720 --> 00:49:03,000
economic development report.

1133
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:15,190
The one and only Mr. Bergon,

1134
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:22,309
mid-air traffic

1135
00:49:22,319 --> 00:49:25,200
airport.

1136
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,640
We're very glad to look at his report

1137
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,400
this year to see the increase in the

1138
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:34,359
traffic has almost double if not. Um for

1139
00:49:34,359 --> 00:49:36,079
the period from January 1st to January

1140
00:49:36,079 --> 00:49:39,799
30th, 2026, air traffic total 1,021

1141
00:49:39,799 --> 00:49:42,640
aircraft movements representing an

1142
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:45,440
average of 5.6 movements per day while

1143
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,040
accommodating

1144
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,880
100 and some passengers throughout the

1145
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,720
air terminal building. Uh compared to

1146
00:49:52,720 --> 00:49:56,400
the period in 2025 where 658 air traffic

1147
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,240
movements and 460 passengers were

1148
00:49:59,240 --> 00:50:02,920
recorded. The increase is over 55% for

1149
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:07,200
half year. Uh plus 363 movement. Traffic

1150
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:10,280
rose by 282%.

1151
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,480
It's 1298 passengers. The results are

1152
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,839
primarily attributed to the significant

1153
00:50:15,839 --> 00:50:17,880
increase in flight training activity,

1154
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,720
fueling destination, commercial charges, uh

1155
00:50:20,720 --> 00:50:23,880
wildfire survey, flights, fire

1156
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,520
suppression, and medical air transfers.

1157
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,599
So we have some numbers there for 2026

1158
00:50:28,599 --> 00:50:30,880
midyear breakdown. fuel stopper

1159
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,400
stopovers accounted for 22% there was 20

1160
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,799
228 of them uh wildfire uh survey

1161
00:50:36,799 --> 00:50:39,880
flights accounted for 20% 207 of them so

1162
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,079
that went up 184%

1163
00:50:42,079 --> 00:50:45,079
medical air transfers accounted for 19%

1164
00:50:45,079 --> 00:50:49,160
and that's also up uh 28% and it was 194

1165
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,880
commercial trer flight accounted for 14%

1166
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,400
of 138 of those. flight training

1167
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,119
operations accounted for 7% with 76 of

1168
00:50:57,119 --> 00:51:00,480
those up 55% and we did have the hope

1169
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,640
air military and miscellaneous accounted

1170
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:08,000
for 64 uh 6% through 64 flights uh fire

1171
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,160
suppression flight accounted for 3%

1172
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,040
although we had a lot of wallfires here

1173
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:17,480
it was only 3% but it's still up 154%

1174
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:19,319
environmental survey flights accounted

1175
00:51:19,319 --> 00:51:21,680
for 1% there were eight of them forestry

1176
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,119
survey flights accounted for less 1%

1177
00:51:24,119 --> 00:51:25,960
there is two aircraft maintenance

1178
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:29,200
flights counted for two also corporate

1179
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:32,280
charter flights counted for 0% they were

1180
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,200
none this year uh so it represents the

1181
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,720
airport's busiest half year recorded in

1182
00:51:37,720 --> 00:51:39,839
16 years of continuous statistical

1183
00:51:39,839 --> 00:51:42,640
towing with air traffic statistics

1184
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,880
becoming a key daily operational tax

1185
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,520
