[0:46] Gemma and I said I would like something.
[0:47] Only agenda moves later in the meeting.

[0:50] I'm moving.
[0:51] I'm moving.
[0:52] I'll move further discussion.
[0:53] I'll call a question.
[0:54] Hall and favor.
[0:55] Close that motion is carried.
[0:57] Our next goal to Chairperson Council Grace, who are in charge of the committee of the
[1:02] Board.
[1:04] Thank you.
[1:06] Thank you.
[1:06] Thank you, Bishop.
[1:07] I began with a delegation from the Oliver and District Heritage Society Museum in
[1:11] Archives with a 2027 budget presentation.
[1:14] A couple of highlights.
[1:16] This year was focused on a online collection database to improve online
[1:21] searchability. They also noted 1800 volunteer hours which equated to a value of $45,000.
[1:28] I was excited to hear the SOS mural project is almost complete when looking forward to seeing
[1:33] that when it's done. We then had a discussion of the worth-creak fed mitigation preliminary
[1:40] design update. There was quite a bit of discussion around that.
[1:46] And the committee passed that, we received the information,
[1:54] we received a report information.
[1:57] We then had a report of the quarter two financial update
[2:00] from the Chief Financial Officer.
[2:03] We discussed the World of Conservation and the state jurisdiction by a law
[2:07] and that was sent back to staff for more information.
[2:10] We then discussed the information systems,
[2:13] communications tools appropriate use policy, which was also sent back to staff
[2:17] more information. We discussed the use counselors policy. I didn't write down the
[2:23] motion, but I believe that we directed staff to create a terms of reference for a
[2:30] youth committee. Thank you. We then recessed the meeting and we'll return at
[2:40] And of this meeting to discuss the filming policy feedback, and that was the end of our report.
[2:46] Thank you, Councillor Grace.
[2:48] To add a matter, as our first item is the WCF irrigation rehabilitation temporary bowing byla, 1437.
[2:55] It is here for adoption, and the motion is at the WCF irrigation rehabilitation temporary bowing byla, 1437, be adopted.
[3:05] moved, moved and second, no further discussion. We'll call the question all in favour,
[3:14] the post, that motion is carried. We're going to add them two stones to where the
[3:19] restrictions update, I'll pass it over to our CAO, since our director of operations is not
[3:24] here to see me. Thank you through the water.
[3:28] The last council meeting we had, the director of operations and the first council meeting,
[3:34] I was involved with the director of operation in the motion that a special kind of meeting to move to a stage three water restriction.
[3:41] Since that point in time, we haven't seen Grete of take. If I'm going to be perfectly honest, we haven't seen a Grete of amount of obtained from what we've asked for in the round the town.
[3:51] But the province is also going to step up and actually let all of the all of the municipalities on a region and ask those to specifically look at what we're doing as a municipality.
[4:01] as a town to make sure that we are appropriately looking at water conservation. Because of that,
[4:07] we want to stay at our stage 3 and it is also proposed to look at 10% voluntary reduction in
[4:13] actually cultural water. Again, we need to emphasize that this point in time is a voluntary
[4:21] 10% reduction of use because we truly feel that from a staff's perspective we want to be
[4:28] critical back to the province and demonstrate and show exactly what we're doing and all that
[4:32] are trying to implement the right procedures and the right processes in place before
[4:36] having to gain non-voluntary compliance through the measures and means that we have in our
[4:41] bylaws. That was a recommendation brought forward by the director of operations who is unfortunately
[4:45] not here tonight, but I think that we would agree that certainly from a last point of view that
[4:50] this is a reasonable step to take under the current conditions. Thank you. Thank you.
[4:56] comes from a shell. I was going to ask how would we implement that, but I would suggest that maybe
[5:04] one way to do it since its voluntary is maybe to down draft the letter and maybe hand
[5:09] delivered to the farmers, but wouldn't take very long or get the information out there that
[5:13] we're looking for a 10% reduction. It's voluntary. So without letting them know, nobody really knows
[5:19] out there that we're asking for that. I think we have to have some kind of a way to approach that.
[5:25] So we, as a counter, are being proactive with that.
[5:29] So I would suggest that that is what we should be doing.
[5:33] See you.
[5:34] Through your motion.
[5:35] Yeah, because we've seen such a, and I will be honest,
[5:39] maybe you're just flying towards here.
[5:40] Because we've seen such a proved uptake in our stage three,
[5:44] we will need to look at some form of communication,
[5:48] to go back there to the public and order for them to understand
[5:51] the stage 3 implications in what is not in taking place. And then also looking at this
[5:57] 10 percent voluntary compliance as well. So there will be a new communications opportunity
[6:01] for us to go to the public and we would address that at that point as well. So either a letter
[6:06] or the communications either way needs to be put out there in a better fashion because we're
[6:10] not seeing the uptake that we need from the stage 3 and if we're looking to try and get 10 percent
[6:15] any sort of compliance we will need to do bear communications or the public on us.
[6:22] Even if the fall-off, even if we don't tend to ever even signs out there, similar to our stage 3 signs,
[6:30] requesting that farmers try to reduce by 10% because it would be a good thing to do.
[6:37] Councillor Grace and then Councillor Doro.
[6:41] Councillor Doro?
[6:41] Thank you. I support the comments that my fellow counselor made, but I also want to make a comment that during this time, there's also a natural reduction in water use, a lot of the harvesting of the soft food has completed and farmers do reduce it.
[6:59] letters, I believe have gone out to the vineyards. They're on a reduction of water to get
[7:05] because the color is breaking on the grapes and to get their sugars of bricks they do reduce
[7:13] water and so on. I'd let her out would just help better water management for the vineyards
[7:19] but because of how the season is progressing the water has naturally, there's a reduction of
[7:26] and forms in the lyrics naturally.
[7:32] Thank you, Worship. I was glad to hear that there's already a communication plan being discussed. I think what would also be helpful is to let residents know about the clear path back to stage two or stage one would be.
[7:48] Just so that they kind of know what measurable conditions that we're looking for before we can reduce the conditions.
[7:54] But other than that, I'm in favor of maintaining stage three for now, especially considering
[8:00] the uncertainty around the river flows and the provinces request for conservation.
[8:04] Thank you.
[8:07] Councilor Rintina.
[8:08] Thank you, Worship.
[8:09] Given the fact that we really haven't seen any reduction in our stage three restriction time,
[8:16] is there, do we have a plan or of how to kind of encourage compliance?
[8:21] As I've been talked about at all, we're just communicating more,
[8:24] loading enforcement, like I've seen properties around town, watering in the middle of the day with those big old
[8:30] fashion, like, you know, water things that no one should use even at night, or are we driving around and asking them to stop or do we have a plan or are we just keeping on and helping people listen?
[8:42] Thank you for your worship.
[8:44] I think it is a great point.
[8:46] I think the advancement of everybody lives as well.
[8:49] In order to try and get their compliance to find and actually by local compliance
[8:53] is a huge step forward in that.
[8:56] I think the opportunity for staff to bring these things forward.
[8:59] So that we actually have the tools and the means and the staff and the availability
[9:02] to go into this is very important.
[9:05] It is important that we are doing education just now in trying to get involved
[9:08] compliance, if we can't, and we rely heavily upon our bi-law officers and supervisors and
[9:14] those staff to go out and start looking at what our compliance we can try and look at.
[9:19] So, the new bi-laws are preparing and the findings are applicable to looking at the stage
[9:23] in a water and what we're actually doing moving forward is a large part of those tools and mechanisms.
[9:30] And I think that, I guess, concern and feed is throughout the last three or four weeks, we've
[9:35] the province going to shift in the water availability that we're being given.
[9:40] That's a close for concern for staff, certainly.
[9:43] It's certainly looking at our wells, that's a close for concern for our staff.
[9:48] So staff are making sure that they're going to shine and get this fall into compliance.
[9:52] And if we're seeing people that we can educate, then I think that's a vital part to this.
[9:56] The biggest part of this is going to be next year because if we're looking at dryer conditions moving into next year,
[10:01] we're all there, they look in the lower water levels.
[10:02] So that will be a larger concern moving forward.
[10:05] So that's why we want to put these tools and potential penalties and mechanisms in place.
[10:10] So that we don't see this compliance by next year.
[10:13] We can do an awful lot more enforcement and it will be a lot more kind of prevalent
[10:18] to the community that we will be going to have to do these type of compliances.
[10:23] If I may suggest, I think we have pretty good buy-in with the voyant alert.
[10:29] And if we could kind of continually push out on there, those always feel serious when they pop
[10:35] on your phone like a mandate.
[10:39] It certainly did when it came out three weeks ago, but reminding people regularly, we're still
[10:43] under water three restrictions, we're still in a stage for drought.
[10:46] Here's what you're supposed to be doing.
[10:48] Thank you.
[10:50] Councillor Michelle?
[10:51] Just to have it go to the, uh, even the report says that it will come up, so I'm obviously
[10:57] our wells are tied more like I've always said to the river levels. You know, I mean,
[11:01] we're in, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're constantly going to be able to point it out that we're
[11:06] not really getting a reduction, yet our wells are coming out. So, you know, the complex issue,
[11:12] as far as all of us concerned, Christians have always said that we're more of a land on the
[11:17] level, but we're just doing a number of squatters going down that river for fisheries, and that's
[11:21] really but controls our wells and feel good to where stage 3 but in reality our wells
[11:28] come up whenever it comes up for fisheries so yeah I like that.
[11:38] That's a new kind of international cancer drug staff to keep stage 3 overstructions for
[11:42] the missed a border in place and the cancer drug staff to implement a state-of-home restriction
[11:47] 10% round their reduction of agricultural water.
[11:51] It's a moved second.
[11:54] If we were to discussion, councilmember.
[11:57] Sorry, councilmember.
[11:59] You say you're the boatboarding.
[12:00] That's good.
[12:02] What kind of question are we in favour?
[12:05] You want me to get the word one.
[12:10] All right.
[12:11] The between the first time in the last part of the C.O.F.
[12:13] I see he joins online here.
[12:17] Thank you very much.
[12:20] So this report presents Council with the draft purchasing and sales policy for a fair review
[12:26] in adoption.
[12:28] So this policy, the draft policy, after incorporation from council divisions, was approved
[12:33] by the committee of the whole July 20, 2026.
[12:38] So the recommendation is for council to include the purchasing and sales policy as presented.
[12:45] Great to take any questions.
[12:48] We'll be seeing this a couple of times already, but Councilor Grace.
[12:52] Thank you.
[12:52] We're sure there isn't out the July 20th meeting.
[12:55] There is just something that I noted there that there is it.
[13:00] It's one of their conflicting approval rules within the new policy.
[13:04] Selection 10 point for us as a manager can approve to 25,000.
[13:08] The senior manager to 75,000 and the CAO to 100,000, but section 11.1.
[13:13] those purchases from $30,000 to $100,000 require CACFO, a Prover prior to award, and then select section 11.2.3, so the senior manager has the authority to $25,000 and the CACFO from $75,000 to $100,000.
[13:30] So it seems like those maybe need to be reconciled unless I'm reading something incorrectly.
[13:48] I can give
[13:58] you the sections again, if you like.
[14:19] Can I suggest any repeat those sections that I've got all saved in front of you now?
[14:23] Yes, so 10.4.
[14:26] So the manager can approve to 25,000 senior manager to 75 and 30,000 CAO to 100,000 section 11.1.
[14:33] This purchase is from 30,000 to 100,000 requires CAO CFO approval prior to award.
[14:41] And then 11.2.3. So the senior manager has authority to 75,000 in the CAO from 75,000 to 100,000.
[14:49] and
[14:53] we're in there just because of this section section 11 likes to RFE's and so we
[15:00] We change the amendment. If it's an RFP, as opposed to a regular purchase, this is rewarding an RFP.
[15:09] That was the only reason, but we can't make them the same, but I know that was just updating from 30 to 100, and everything over 100 does what we can't sell.
[15:21] But we're still requiring people of the RFP that they work at that lower range.
[15:33] Okay, so all of Section 11 is RFP's?
[15:36] Yeah.
[15:37] And change orders.
[15:39] If state is an RFP, and the program requirement, you'll turn that course in construction,
[15:46] or whatever, it comes up with change orders depending on the dollar value.
[15:49] I think we require a multitude of vehicles.
[15:52] So, I think there's still a conflict within 11, because 11.1 is purchased in 30,000 to 100,000
[15:59] requires the AOCFO approval, but 11.2.3 is as a senior manager has authority 275,000.
[16:16] Can I see that at the point?
[16:32] Yeah, so we could change that
[16:36] in 30.
[16:40] That's what I think it should be.
[16:42] I mean, it depends on which, you know, which of those should override the other, I suppose.
[16:47] but that they do conflict.
[16:49] So if we made a revision of 11.2.3 to not to $30,000,
[16:55] that will cover that piece of this and anything
[16:58] between out of the range from R to two people's.
[17:01] See you, OCFO, yeah.
[17:04] A good or a COVID officer is going to hand up.
[17:07] Thank you, Ourship.
[17:08] We did add a sentence because we didn't notice that there was a discrepancies.
[17:11] So we added a sentence at the bottom of section 11 that just says
[17:14] procurement process, requirements, and approval authority requirements,
[17:19] I play independently and both must be satisfied.
[17:22] Just so that both sets of, I don't know if that solves the problem,
[17:28] or if it's easier to change it, but we did that in ad that in there
[17:31] because we were aware that there was some conflicting information,
[17:35] but they're about different things.
[17:38] I think you
[17:41] curious what my colleagues at the table think of it
[17:44] should be changed or not, or if it.
[17:46] I think the sentence was added to the me that was fine, but that's just me.
[17:59] I'm going to go into the experts, those are just observations in line, but if we feel like that
[18:04] extra sort of note in the section covers that conflict, then that's fine by me.
[18:16] Who's the experts at the CFO?
[18:18] Do you feel like that extra line that was put in there that was read by the corporate officer?
[18:24] kind of covers off that conflict?
[18:28] Yeah, I think that would progress it.
[18:32] I think the policies are going to lift the document.
[18:37] And it's going to change.
[18:38] You know, if we legislations comes out or do trade agreements,
[18:41] so we can prove it as its stance.
[18:46] And just depending how it works, if we find it becoming clunky,
[18:52] You can only bring it back for a vision necessary.
[19:00] Hi, my name.
[19:04] It tells me this.
[19:04] So that I would move that the purchasing and sales policy be referred back to stuff
[19:10] for more information.
[19:21] Nobody seconded, so.
[19:26] That's your level seconded.
[19:27] I think that this need, our CFO is stated that he can make that change.
[19:32] And that would, you know, while I leave it on vigorous to that other point,
[19:35] that was installed there, why not just change it,
[19:38] and that's satisfied.
[19:42] You stated, can we don't you go?
[19:46] It's kind of on your way or so.
[19:48] Yeah, personally, that's a whole lot of the way it is.
[19:51] That's right.
[19:53] I'm going to have a discussion on them.
[19:55] Have a call or a question?
[19:56] Oh, OK, I probably can't ask you a question
[19:59] on the CF, oh, no, OK.
[20:01] There you go, of course, it hasn't been a call.
[20:05] Thank you.
[20:06] So then a question to the CF role.
[20:08] You did state that you could make the changes
[20:10] is that Councillor Grice pointed out or highlighted.
[20:15] But it kind of seems like it's 50, 50, one way or the other.
[20:21] Is there a way in your opinion that this policy reads stronger, leaving it the way it is with
[20:25] the sentence that was added, or making that change that was highlighted?
[20:34] I would
[20:37] suggest taking the revision of Councillor Grice and taking and changing that to $3,000,
[20:43] It makes it stronger than, you know, makes it more restrictive, which isn't a bad thing.
[20:51] With that purchasing. So, I would say, I would recommend adopting the policy subject to changing that.
[20:59] That one line to $30,000.
[21:04] No, we need to go about this.
[21:05] Okay, it could fail. We carry on.
[21:07] Can you amend the policy after that adoption?
[21:09] No, we're not.
[21:11] The adoption. It's just approval.
[21:22] Okay, okay.
[21:23] Let's go.
[21:23] I've got a motion of motion.
[21:30] For back form information together, the tweet document back where adoption.
[21:42] For seizure question, as suggested, can we make that tweak now at adoption or approval or
[21:50] does something like that need to go back to staff for more information?
[21:57] Let's adopt with provisions.
[22:04] The motion doesn't ask for reducing the distance so it's send back to staff for more information.
[22:10] So we can defeat that and then do the next one.
[22:14] All right, we'll call the question.
[22:16] All in favor?
[22:18] A post?
[22:19] No, no, we can direct.
[22:21] That motion failed.
[22:23] So we'll pick out a motion council.
[22:26] So sure.
[22:27] So I will move down.
[22:30] Council approve the purchasing and sales policy with the revision that Section 11.2.3 now say that a senior manager
[22:46] has authority to $30,000 rather than $75,000.
[22:58] Uh, Saturday second.
[23:01] Just laying counts are very finished first.
[23:09] A second.
[23:11] Twenty second?
[23:12] And I'd better make a friend of the men who have never言
[23:14] who change the word approved a dot because his order option.
[23:22] Yep, sure, I'll have that friend of the men.
[23:26] Okay, we got the motion up there.
[23:36] Uh, a dot.
[23:37] Wait until she gets it.
[23:38] That's forward.
[23:53] We see sound," the screen, please.
[23:55] Hey, darlin'
[23:56] It's
[25:07] lose in the cancelled date,
[25:09] but you're singing sales policy
[25:10] is amended by a revision to section 11.2.3 that same managers are now have the authority
[25:17] to approve 30,000 rather than 75,000.
[25:26] Okay,
[25:28] move the second, call the question on the favor,
[25:32] opposed that motion is carry, and move to item 3, 2022 and 7 regular of the minimum schedule
[25:42] Thank you, Your Worship.
[25:44] This report is before Council to present a draft of the 2027 Council meeting schedule.
[25:49] Regular council meetings are held every three weeks on a Monday with meetings postponed
[25:53] to Tuesday as necessary to accommodate statutory holidays.
[25:57] Special meetings can be scheduled to accommodate matters that require Council's consideration.
[26:03] And the acting there schedule will be determined at the November 9th, 2026 regular open council meeting.
[26:09] And at that meeting council may wish to amend the 2027 meeting schedule, the newly elected
[26:14] council desires.
[26:17] And thanks for the turn of our August strategic planning sessions, we'll be set after
[26:20] the October 17th, 2026 general local election.
[26:24] The recommendation before council is that council will approve the 2027 regular open meeting
[26:29] schedule and proceed with public notification.
[26:32] I can take any questions.
[26:34] Thank you.
[26:37] I'll move that counsel through the 2027 regular open meeting schedule and proceed with public notification.
[26:44] Second.
[26:45] Any further discussion?
[26:48] I'll call the question now in favor.
[26:50] Opposed.
[26:51] That motion is carried.
[26:53] Anything to report the same amount of council Michelle.
[26:56] Did you use meetings?
[26:57] Okay.
[26:59] And what are councilor Dollywell?
[27:01] Uh, today's meetings.
[27:08] Okay.

[32:01] I missed the last council meeting, so I've got a long list, so I'm not going to read it all.
[32:06] But many meetings, a lot of them with UBCM.
[32:09] I did spend July 14th to 17th in Vancouver for the quarterly UBCM meeting.
[32:14] I also had to spend a week in campus facing with a family for a celebration of life, which is why I missed the July 20th meeting.
[32:21] and just spending a week in another small town
[32:23] was really interesting to sort of contrast
[32:25] and compare and just being a really proud
[32:27] of so many of the things that all of us doing well.

[32:35] August 6th, I got to put on a workshop
[32:37] for the ambassadors and ambassador candidates,
[32:41] discussing mostly local government,
[32:44] trying to be a little kind of answer
[32:45] I got to chat with them about the upcoming changes
[32:48] to the Youth Council policy,
[32:49] and we played a game where they had $100 to give a bunch of different line items
[32:55] creative a budget for the town and then I don't know there was a lot of main
[32:58] break and they had to figure out where to get the money from or to pull it out
[33:02] and then they had to be the communications team to explain the changes to the town
[33:06] there was a lot of fun so I enjoyed doing that. And then today's meetings and that
[33:11] is the end of my report. Thanks Councillor Bois, Councilman. Thank you,
[33:15] scholarship, coffee with council this afternoon, along with council of grace, and
[33:21] council of shaper and a whole bunch of staff and today's meetings.

[33:39] light up meeting of the year.

[33:47] Thank you, Rosha.
[33:51] I just want to point something out here, because a lot of people
[33:55] have been noticing the smoky skies.

[34:02] I've been making really good use of the library.
[34:06] And I would highly recommend that to anybody else,
[34:08] We'll shut in because of the smoky skies, the library would love to see you.
[34:14] And the only other thing is the coffee with Council earlier today.
[34:20] Thank you, Councillor Schaffer, for myself just surrounding the smoke,
[34:25] for sure, been camping a bit, so I've been living in it a lot.
