1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,200
counter efforts. They know what the

2
00:00:02,879 --> 00:00:06,679
number

3
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,679
» This can't be every

4
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,760
» Think

5
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:33,120
of each week. So maybe

6
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,399
» He going to get 17

7
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,960
up there for it. So

8
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:37,960
» That's why I read

9
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:43,680
» Excuse me.

10
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:48,239
» All right. So just so everybody knows uh

11
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:49,680
we do record and uh video uh present our

12
00:00:48,239 --> 00:00:54,480
uh meetings

13
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:57,840
» And uh our microphone is very sensitive.

14
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:59,440
So, uh, if, uh, you're ready, Miranda,

15
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:04,199
we can start our special meeting and

16
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:04,199
then we'll adjourn that and come back.

17
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:12,400
I'd like to call a special council

18
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:17,040
meeting of September 23rd, 2025 to order

19
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:18,960

20
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,720

21
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:22,400
meeting and has been published as

22
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,360
required under the Municipal Government

23
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,040
Act. Uh, I'm looking it for

24
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,600
administration to see if there's any

25
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,600
additions or deletions to the agenda.

26
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,200
» Mr. Mayor, members, council,

27
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,520
administration has no additions or

28
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:39,439
deletions to the special counsel.

29
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:41,920
» Thank you. Uh, anything council?

30
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:44,320
Thank you. Look for a motion to approve

31
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,880
the agenda as circulated.

32
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:49,600
Councelor Cosby. Thank you. Call that

33
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,799
question. All in favor?

34
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:55,680
And that's carried unanimous. Um, we

35
00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:59,200
have one uh one item on the agenda 4.1

36
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:03,680
an RFD for the 2025 municipal election

37
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:06,000
advanced voting and uh Miss Tingley this

38
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,200
is yours

39
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,239
mayor but council I feel like I'm going

40
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,039
to stand up because it's a full crowd

41
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:13,680
and I can my contact here. Okay. So the

42
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:15,200
purpose of this RFD is to um have the

43
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,440
addition of an advanced polling date for

44
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,120
the upcoming municipal election. Uh so

45
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,200
council or sorry administration's

46
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,920
recommendations that council move that

47
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:26,720
we provide an advanced vote date for the

48
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:29,200
election uh just some context uh for the

49
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,760
2021 election we had an advanced vote on

50
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,519
October 16th from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

51
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:36,640
2 days ahead of the election on October

52
00:02:33,519 --> 00:02:38,879
18th. Uh so there's no date set as of

53
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:41,599
yet for the 2025 election. But uh

54
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:43,440
following this meeting um Ron and myself

55
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:45,440
will look into uh dates based on staff

56
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,680
availability if um it sounds direction

57
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,599
that we can have an advanced vote. Um

58
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,440
I've included the section um of the

59
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:53,840
local authorities election act that uh

60
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:57,200
relates to the advanced vote and um what

61
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:59,200
is required of us to have that um and if

62
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,760
there's no uh further questions that

63
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,599
concludes my RFD.

64
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,200
Councelor Olson like to make a motion

65
00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:08,080
the council provides an advanced vote

66
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:12,080
for the 2025.

67
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,959
» Thank you. Discussion by council.

68
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,800
» Go ahead, counselor.

69
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:15,599
» And it'll be a pendant a place.

70
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,000
» Correct.

71
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:20,080
» Okay. From 9:30 to 2:30.

72
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,760
» So the time is something that we're

73
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:26,000
going to review. Um and it's going to be

74
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:27,519
based on staff availability and um what

75
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,440
would make the most sense to just

76
00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:32,799
capture the biggest demographic. Just

77
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:35,360
for clarity, in the 2021 election, that

78
00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:37,760
is what was held. But that doesn't mean

79
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,000
this election that staff will be able to

80
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,000
do that. Our only role here at the table

81
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,879
is to provide whether or not there is

82
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,360
going to be an advanced poll. If there

83
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:51,879
is, that's up to administration and the

84
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,879
uh chief elector

85
00:03:52,239 --> 00:03:55,040
organizer.

86
00:03:54,159 --> 00:03:57,120
» Mr. Van,

87
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,519
» Mr. Mayor, if I could I just maybe I'll

88
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,720
just add some some clarity and context

89
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:06,319
as to why we do it this way. So, as we

90
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:09,040
know, council has um the requirement to

91
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:12,080
do this as as outlined in the report.

92
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:14,799
What we want to do and what is best

93
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:18,079
practice is to protect council from

94
00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:20,880
setting the date to favor themselves in

95
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:22,880
in any election. So what happens is

96
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,520
council just authorizes the returning

97
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,360
officer to have a date then we'll set it

98
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,960
and we'll let the public and council

99
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:33,199
know what time and the date is of the

100
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,680
advanced poll right after this. So this

101
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:38,400
will be coming out

102
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:41,280
looking at at the returning office it's

103
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:45,360
not tomorrow it's by Thursday we'll have

104
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:48,080
that that date and time set

105
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:50,160
» For some timing as well. So uh we need

106
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:53,040
to uh advertise one week prior to the

107
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:56,000
earliest date. So with a cuto off for um

108
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,840
the paper of the 29th of September. Uh

109
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,600
the earliest advanced vote date would be

110
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:01,360
u Monday October 6th. That's not the

111
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,800
date that um we will be picking. That's

112
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,280
just kind of give you some reference. So

113
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:08,160
it'll be anywhere from the 6th to 2 days

114
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:12,160
prior to the election. So the 18th

115
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:14,000
will be announcing council.

116
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,560
» Sorry I didn't mean to cut you off.

117
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,479
Anything else from council?

118
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,520
» Not seeing anything. And to be clear,

119
00:05:18,479 --> 00:05:24,800
the motion is to have council provide or

120
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:27,199
sorry uh uh council provide for an

121
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,440
advanced vote for the 2025 municipal

122
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:31,840
election. So I'll call that question.

123
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,400
All in favor?

124
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:37,199
And that's carried.

125
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:39,919
Council Wilson return

126
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:43,320
you. All in favor

127
00:05:39,919 --> 00:05:43,320
again carried.

128
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:51,960
She sent me that was me responding. She

129
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,960
no longer make it to the online. So,

130
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,600
» Sorry, Mr. Mayor. Just um Councelor

131
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,120
Williams had indicated that she was

132
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:05,520
going to try and um attend

133
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:07,919
virtually, but as uh Miranda just uh

134
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,919
notified me, she won't be able to uh get

135
00:06:07,919 --> 00:06:10,919
online.
