1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,560
Actually,
>> It'd be windy up there.

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:09,440
» Actually, that's where it was nice.
Going by Tofino and stuff, yeah, it was

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:13,840
nice there.
>> This guy used to go do stuff with and

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:18,080
me and Fulton and that.
He uh

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:21,080
He was just one of those guys. Just
I mean, he says, "Well, I'm going to

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:25,800
build a boat
and I'm going to sail it."

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:31,280
I can't remember it was to Hawaii
or from up the Arctic down to Seattle. I

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,320
can't remember which one cuz he started
the boat there. I said, "If have you

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:38,400
done much sailing?" He says, "Well, I
built one. I took it from uh

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:42,240
He went down
to Panama.

11
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:46,560
And he like he's that type of guy. He
just decides I'm going to build one and

12
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:50,000
» And he's not married. He makes lots of
money. He goose hunts for a living.

13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,320
Let's just say that.
>> Wow.

14
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,880
» That's what he does for a living, ducks
and geese. So,

15
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:59,560
» Okay, you're ready to go.
>> Yeah, 7:00. So, we'll call the meeting

16
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:02,480
to order. Um everybody should have a
copy of the agenda. Any additions or

17
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,840
deletions?
>> I'd just like to talk maybe about the

18
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:09,320
businesses downtown for a quick second.
Some words?

19
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,760
» Sure. In in your report or would you
like it actually on the agenda?

20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,480
» I'll I'll I'll I can do it in my report.
That's

21
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:16,880
» Yeah, sounds good.
Uh

22
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,840
Okay, somebody wish to move the agenda
as presented?

23
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:22,800
» Dwayne.
>> He's back.

24
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:26,680
» Any questions on Dwayne's motion?
Hearing none, I'll call the question.

25
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:31,320
Those in favor?
Opposed? I see none. This is carried

26
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:34,920
unanimously. Okay, minutes of the July
13th meeting.

27
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:40,000
Any
>> Judy moves them.

28
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:42,836
» Any discussion on Judy's motion?
Hearing none, I'll call the question.

29
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,200
Those in favor?
>> [snorts]

30
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:49,520
» Opposed? I see none. This is carried.
So, we have a delegation. Aaron,

31
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,600
» Okay.
>> the floor is yours.

32
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:03,760
» Thanks.
I assume that everybody read my little

33
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,760
AI proposal that I

34
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:10,880
I'm not that clever with that wording.
Um, [clears throat] is there any

35
00:02:09,119 --> 00:02:14,520
questions or do you want me just to
touch on

36
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,959
» Just go for whatever you wish.
>> Explain what you want to do there.

37
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,959
» So, yeah, so the So, our idea behind it
was that

38
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,800
uh the money that we're looking for
would be in cooperation with ourselves

39
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,040
and and we do plan on
approaching other groups in town as

40
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:32,080
well.
Um, but it it is for the four holes that

41
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:37,760
are our shared boundaries with the town.
So, being walking path and the cemetery.

42
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:41,040
Um, we've had the some of the trees have
been blown over. We've had one tree blow

43
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,120
over on the number line rail number four
tee box. That would have been during the

44
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,520
day it would have probably killed
somebody during the season two years

45
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,440
ago.
Um, and we pick up a lot of tree

46
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:52,680
branches and stuff and it there's no
rhyme or reason to I mean, that those

47
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,120
trees are between the cart path and
between the walking path. They could

48
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,680
fall on the walking path just as easily
as they could on the cart path.

49
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,640
Um, it's it's [clears throat] they're
definitely hazards down at hole seven.

50
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,120
Those are definitely our priorities.
They need to go.

51
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,080
Um,
as I'm sure everybody knows, we have elm

52
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,720
trees planted on the inside of that
boundary and that are kind of stopped

53
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:13,239
growing because the poplar trees are are
shading and blocking them in, which they

54
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:17,120
will continue to to grow more if we can
get rid of those poplar trees. So, we

55
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,440
wouldn't have to have a tree replacement
for hole seven.

56
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,959
Um,
we would probably have some tree

57
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:26,800
replacements down four and five. Um, six
is virtually gone, but there isn't too

58
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,200
much there in a sense.
Um, that we probably do as well. And

59
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,840
those are probably when we would
approach some of the service groups in

60
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:36,440
town about um
tree, you know, replanting and stuff

61
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,360
like that, beautification of course with
the town and stuff like that. But, we're

62
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:43,959
not there yet.
Right now, our our biggest concern is

63
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:48,200
the safety aspect of those trees blowing
over onto I don't want to say onto the

64
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,480
walking paths and stuff like that.
Obviously, you guys all know that the

65
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:55,560
town owns the golf course, but we do run
independently. So, we're not we're not

66
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:59,360
saying that it needs to be you know you
guys funding it yourselves.

67
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:03,320
We would be kicking in as well. Our near
New Year starts on November 1st. So we

68
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:07,959
would be putting in
the 15,000 match your 15 if you guys go

69
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,600
with the proposal and then in November
we would start cutting all those trees

70
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:15,800
down on the whole seven and have a clean
up before the start of next season.

71
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:19,600
Whole six, there's about 19 trees, nine
of them have to come down right away as

72
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:24,480
well. That would That would be more of a
fall 2027 job.

73
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:28,520
Four and five, the trees aren't as bad
but they are dying as well. So when we

74
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:31,480
have KWD come and cut some of these
trees down there was they're dead in the

75
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,880
They're just great big holes in the
middle of there. There's They're just

76
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,720
like the end of the season at this
point.

77
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,840
Um
Yeah, that's kind of the long and short

78
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:44,800
of what we're thinking. We're trying to
keep it nice but it's right now it is

79
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:49,280
mostly on the safety aspect. Especially
whole seven, that is

80
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:53,160
We cut down as many as we can a year.
We've talked to the board about having

81
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,960
increasing our tree budget so we can
cover We only have a 10,000 tree budget

82
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:00,440
and I totally appreciate that the town
doesn't have unlimited amount of money

83
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:04,240
that they have a tree budget as well.
But we thought if we got started at it

84
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:07,400
now then you know for the future budgets
and stuff that we can have some new

85
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:07,400
ones.

86
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:14,880
» Mitch, um you're going to approach
service clubs you said um

87
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:19,000
to help with this 145 or
>> Yeah, so like so the So the 145 is is

88
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:23,400
just for the trees that are on the
boundaries. We only have another 150 or

89
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:28,200
200,000 inside the course. They're not
as They're not as dying off as rapidly

90
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,880
and they're not as in much way as
They're If they fell over in a flood it

91
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,720
wouldn't make any difference. You don't
golf in a flood anyway. So we're not as

92
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:36,760
concerned about them. We're prioritizing
safety ones. But yes, we would We're

93
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,000
just trying to get somebody to take the
first leap of faith and say okay when we

94
00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:43,360
can go to the next group and say the
town's on board helping us, can you guys

95
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,480
help as well? And it just kind of goes
from there.

96
00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:48,320
» Are you going to be asking for money for
the inside batch too? Do you think

97
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,400
you're coming to the town for that as
well?

98
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:54,160
» I I Not at this time, no. I think that
was one of the ones that once you get

99
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:58,880
these the priority ones cleaned up that
we will start on our own and then

100
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,600
perhaps we may We've had donations from
members as well. We had a $10,000

101
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:04,680
donation last year with five more trees
being put those all in back. So, it'd be

102
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,400
that sort of thing as well. We might do
an adopt-a-tree program where we'll go

103
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,600
cut down a tree if somebody gives us,
you know, $3,000 we can cut down a tree

104
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,080
and plant a tree. That kind of thing.
So, that's how we would approach the

105
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:18,120
inside course.
Um we just I you know, like we just

106
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:22,120
don't have the money to get the priority
trees out quick enough.

107
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:26,040
» Thank you.
>> Any other questions?

108
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:29,440
» Yeah. Darren, what about
uh

109
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:32,800
kind of offset the cost of the the tree
people coming in? Would any of your

110
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,640
staff be able to assist them to kind of
knock that

111
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:39,640
cost down? I realize that they are
seasonal, but keeping a couple of

112
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:42,040
seasonals on,
you know, Duke or somebody else? Is

113
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:46,040
there
>> Uh so, he So, Duke does stay on. We In

114
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:53,000
the past we have cleaned up a lot of the
trees. Uh KWD is only charging us $300

115
00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:53,720
to clean up at that point in time, too,
right?

116
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,400
» Mhm.
>> So, it's they're not It's not as as as

117
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:00,400
much money. It's not like it's half the
the cost isn't that.

118
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,479
Um we would
We're cuz we're not going to have quite

119
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,400
enough
>> [snorts]

120
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,840
» It depends on how the how the budget all
works or something like that. But, that

121
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,919
is definitely an option that we we have
cleaned up a lot of her in the past.

122
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,600
They have to do the stump grinding for
us.

123
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,919
» Oh, yeah. Yeah, and stuff like that.
Yeah.

124
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,640
» We have What we've done in the past is
they cut up the trees and they left the

125
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,120
logs there and then Duke has guys around
town that are looking for firewood. And

126
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,600
so, he just phones those guys and they
come and load them all. So, we we've

127
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,080
we've [clears throat] We're also have
that in our back pocket to do as well.

128
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,960
» Okay.
>> Okay.

129
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:31,300
» Okay, cuz Steve, I know the golf course
has taken a lot of trees down,

130
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,200
especially around seven. So, you've
[clears throat] been working on it, I

131
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,800
know,
for quite a while and you do put money

132
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:41,480
in every year to do that. And I know
last year when we were playing uh

133
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:45,720
we played hole seven when we came
around,

134
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:48,440
a tree had come down, so it had just
missed

135
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,560
So, you just never know when that is
branches or or a whole tree is coming

136
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,120
down, so
>> It doesn't have to be weather related to

137
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,760
be proactive.
>> If it hasn't dropped, it can just fall,

138
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,080
right?
>> Yeah.

139
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,800
» The wind starts to blow and you'll see
that coming and all driven down that

140
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,400
street. Tree branches scattered all
over.

141
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,680
» Yeah.
Yeah, that was a huge limb that came

142
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,520
down that night.
>> One thing worth mentioning is council

143
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,400
aware that we've been doing the same
thing off roads long.

144
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,880
» Yeah.
>> Uh

145
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:18,040
534 as well.
Uh we just planted that whole new bunch

146
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:21,960
in there. And as far as the street the
stump grinding, something that I added

147
00:08:19,919 --> 00:08:24,840
to the report after we had public works
look at it was they would like to be

148
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:29,200
involved in that cuz they got a pretty
good method where the shoots don't come

149
00:08:26,919 --> 00:08:33,880
up as bad, so it'll save the asphalt
from Should council move forward with

150
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,280
it. Uh Stu would like to have input with
the golf course to make sure

151
00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:37,840
» Yeah.
>> I think we

152
00:08:36,719 --> 00:08:40,880
Yeah, the relationship with those two
good service is a lot, so so the motion

153
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,560
that I have
uh

154
00:08:41,479 --> 00:08:48,440
that I hope would forward for it
includes some of the to allow good

155
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:51,080
coordination of public works with
>> Yeah, I think that's the biggest one and

156
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,000
that
Kim and I talked about a little bit

157
00:08:52,320 --> 00:09:00,240
earlier, too, is that uh Cal Retherford
had a scenario what um

158
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:07,440
he did for his partners where you cut
the bark around the tree 18 in in height

159
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:11,240
off and then you so that you do it now,
so then when it doesn't in the fall it

160
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:14,720
doesn't shoot send it's uh
>> the

161
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:20,200
» the sap sap down in so then you get less
shoots and he really believed in that

162
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:23,160
now that too, so I'm not sure
he was the arborist, but uh

163
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:28,080
um
I I know that my son-in-law did it and

164
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:33,360
he had the trees that he did that on
he had half the shoots sending back up

165
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:37,720
as what the other ones did, so
I I think it has merit, so I mean again,

166
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:42,640
you know, if you can pick up on what Stu
said, you know, of working with Duke and

167
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:47,840
and saying, you know, can we cut it down
and make it so that we don't have so

168
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:53,120
much damage to either cart path or the
or the walking path with the shoots off

169
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:58,680
those darn poplars, it'd be a huge
asset, that's for sure. So.

170
00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:02,280
Well, if there's no other questions, um
it's farther on our agenda. If you want,

171
00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:05,560
you're welcome to stay and listen and
>> minutes left, you can stick around.

172
00:10:05,226 --> 00:10:08,080
» [laughter]
>> I think I don't know how you go through

173
00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:12,600
the agenda in 8 minutes, it might be
there.

174
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,800
» You you can stay till it comes up or you
can go when this

175
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,080
Oh, I'm sorry, Chris.
>> One question. So, where do you get your

176
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,880
trees from, John?
>> Um

177
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:23,640
» You get some like Eagle Lake or
>> Yes, well, the the ones that we bought

178
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:28,640
last year that that we got the donation
from Wayne, I believe came from Eagle

179
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:32,120
Lake. No, we I think it was
I think it's Joy on the golf course. I

180
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:36,000
think her
I don't want to say nephew or something

181
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:38,480
works up there, so he's he's been
they've been talking about Corki, and he

182
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:42,080
gave us a bit of a break on some trees,
and and they haven't do good. They've

183
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:45,320
kind of bought it, so he he he's doing
that.

184
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,000
We we did talk to to Corki as well about
cut trees. They were more money than

185
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,280
KWD.
Um

186
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,680
and and just throwing out there, we've
tried, you know, we don't have really

187
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,720
have the the connections you guys have
at Fortress. They really don't help at

188
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,480
all. They wouldn't even open a gate to
talk to us. Like I

189
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,680
I feel like they when they come and
spend a lot of money to trim those trees

190
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:05,760
back, like why wouldn't they just want
somebody to cut the trees down? But

191
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:09,400
we don't have anybody connected enough
to them to get that to make that happen.

192
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,680
If you guys do, that's great, but we
don't, so.

193
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,880
» Yeah, no, I I don't think they've ever
been very kind on, you know, butchering

194
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,600
the trees and then, you know,
>> The ones down there

195
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:22,040
by the school are just terrible.
>> it's it's terrible. I mean, there's but

196
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:26,760
anyway, that's what they believe they
have to do, and and

197
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:30,400
they do it. And again, like he said,
you know, instead of talking when we're

198
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:35,600
doing something else to them, they
they don't they they have their

199
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:40,000
philosophy and
and we don't have any friends in their

200
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,000
group.

201
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,680
» We we do have a county counselor on our
board this year and so he's going to

202
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,600
once, you know, we talked to you guys
and we also going to vote close to the

203
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:51,480
county to vote their parks and
recreation and see if he gets money at

204
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:54,000
that as well.
That's where kind of we're at.

205
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,560
» Okay.
Thank you very much and like I said,

206
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,720
you're welcome to stay or
>> You can't sit that long at one time but

207
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,218
I can't sit.
>> Well, you can stand. [laughter]

208
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,438
All right.
>> I love it when people pace during a

209
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,080
meeting.
>> [laughter]

210
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,240
» Yeah, that would be striking at all.
>> See you later.

211
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:10,240
» Thanks, guys.
>> Thank you.

212
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,080
» Hope you feel better, buddy.
>> Yeah.

213
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:18,840
» Okay.
Moving on to

214
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:22,200
511 or 51, the National Police
Federation call to action.

215
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:27,240
» So,
I first included just the the email and

216
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:30,640
the and the call to action but uh
part of it just didn't make sense

217
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:34,160
without all the statistical data so I am
sorry. I don't usually put documents

218
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:39,440
that big in the agenda but we had a
later agenda today so that does have all

219
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:43,839
the graph work that came along with it.
Uh there

220
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:49,480
uh it is just a correspondence piece.
Should council uh wish to participate

221
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:52,200
and entertain a motion to uh send them
our

222
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:54,920
logo to attach to it if you're
interested.

223
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,160
» Okay, anybody have any

224
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,760
thoughts on that?
>> Is it strictly Alberta or is this

225
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,920
nationwide?
Like I I read BC and that kind of thing

226
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,960
and
uh

227
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:13,800
there's pros and cons to both like
>> the purpose of what they're doing for

228
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:18,120
the call to action is actually specific
to Alberta. It helps them to send it

229
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,120
straight to the premier.

230
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,880
» Yeah, it's interesting. When I was
reading this, the only thought I had was

231
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:28,560
uh you know, I
I'm uh

232
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:32,640
I'm kind of a pro guy, but I
I I

233
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:36,360
I would like to have a a way in cost cuz
our costs are going up quite

234
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:39,760
significantly with the RCMP over the
next few years.

235
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:43,760
It would sure be nice if our provincial
government had some sort of idea what

236
00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:48,320
the matching costs would be for like our
community if it was you know, I that

237
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:51,400
would be a something to know what it is
to have a to make a decision on, you

238
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,680
know, it's
cuz

239
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:57,560
I I think we have pretty good officers
here. I just

240
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,360
you know, I
I'd sure like to see what costs are

241
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,440
going to be and
what [clears throat] costs from the

242
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,520
government are going to be cuz it's
going to be in there play in our budget

243
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,320
quite significantly over the next few
years.

244
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,720
» Go ahead, Dave.
>> I

245
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:16,000
it
Your question is good, very good.

246
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:19,360
But I would feel that
uh Miss Smith

247
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,920
it doesn't really know what those
numbers are and I think it's going to be

248
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:28,240
quite substantial.
With the RCMP, that's federal, so we do

249
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:31,520
get a bit of federal coming in to
support the Royal Canadian Mounted

250
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,920
Police.
If it goes the other other way, I

251
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:38,640
chances are we're not going to see
federal and I think it would be more

252
00:14:37,839 --> 00:14:41,480
costly.
>> Yeah, I don't know and that's what I was

253
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,680
» I don't know either. I'm just putting my
two bits

254
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,839
» That's what I'd like to be able to have
there so I can make a weighted decision

255
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,360
on this.
>> Yeah.

256
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,520
» So.
>> Well, I

257
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:55,240
I think though that too is that
some of the costs that we're

258
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:58,240
seeing now have been created because of
the

259
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,040
larger municipalities that always have
had to pay their share.

260
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:04,920
» Yeah.
>> And they saw a portion of the province

261
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,720
that paid zero for the
uh

262
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:11,280
policing and so I I think they felt that
this is more of a fairer method, but

263
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:15,600
» And the other thing to keep in mind,
this is just a letter of request from

264
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:18,200
one group, the RMA, the Alberta
Municipalities,

265
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:22,200
many of the
uh

266
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:25,240
groups that council attends and and
with are also doing the same thing,

267
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,360
trying to get these numbers all these
things together. So, this is just a

268
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:31,600
request from them.
>> And I think too on on this too,

269
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:35,920
going back to exactly what Kim said, you
know, to be honest with you, up until a

270
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:39,840
few years ago,
we hardly heard much from the

271
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:44,320
the policing
provincial wide, especially.

272
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:49,040
We heard from our local people a little
bit, but even that we heard more in the

273
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:51,880
last four or five years than we ever
heard in the past.

274
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:56,000
But, Christian, you had a comment?
>> Oh, I was just going to say if if the

275
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:58,600
county's taken position on the matter at
all.

276
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,800
» I
don't know. It's just like I said, this

277
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,516
just came as correspondence.
>> Okay.

278
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,160
» And you got to remember this is
>> [clears throat]

279
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:08,640
» their union side of
it. It's like the Canada Post. I mean,

280
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:12,680
they've got their union side of it
that's, you know, they're always asking

281
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:16,120
for, you know, support. And again, not
to say that there's anything wrong with

282
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,600
supporting that side of the picture.
It's just that

283
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:24,640
you know, they're giving their views
from what they see and uh

284
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:28,640
potential. And again, like I said, in
the in the last few years, we've seen

285
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,839
more information than we've ever seen in
the past.

286
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,680
You know,
some of us that have been around for a

287
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:38,120
while, hardly ever heard from them other
than, you know, their our local ones

288
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:41,880
were good enough to come to our table,
but nothing provincially or federally,

289
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,480
so.
But again, we don't have to do anything.

290
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,240
This is
>> Just receive it for information.

291
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:52,240
» I'll make the motion to receive it for
information.

292
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:55,800
» Okay. So, Wayne will second the motion.
Any other discussion on

293
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,680
this?
Hearing none, call the question. All in

294
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:03,280
favor?
Opposed? Seeing none, it is carried.

295
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:06,640
Okay, and we'll move on to the cash
statement

296
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:10,280
as of today in June.
>> As you can see, we're sitting in a

297
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:14,966
decent financial position, but that's
usually the case at the end of June, so.

298
00:17:12,946 --> 00:17:14,966
» [laughter]

299
00:17:15,439 --> 00:17:20,839
» That's what to do with the
largest source of revenue for the we

300
00:17:19,439 --> 00:17:25,040
have here.
>> And then unfortunately the the

301
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:29,040
difference too is that um
we don't get on a monthly basis, so

302
00:17:26,959 --> 00:17:34,320
» Yeah, absolutely.
>> Okay, any questions on cash statement?

303
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:38,960
If not, someone wish to move the cash
statement. Uh Chantel.

304
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:43,760
» Move it forward.
>> Any discussion on Chantel's motion?

305
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:47,000
Hearing none, I'll call the question.
All in favor?

306
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:51,520
Opposed? See none, it's carried
unanimously.

307
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,520
Year-to-date statement.

308
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:58,200
» It's very straightforward unless uh
there is something that caught council's

309
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:01,640
attention, uh
an anomaly that

310
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:06,440
it's very interesting.
>> school taxes are a dollar time?

311
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:10,680
» That's because uh yeah, you put that in
there and uh

312
00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:15,080
when we levy it, it goes in. So,
on the school, we know those numbers, so

313
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,760
and then we just levy it four times
>> a year. Okay.

314
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,480
Okay, any other questions on the

315
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:32,760
year-to-date?
Okay, I'll entertain a motion.

316
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,760
Chris.

317
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:39,800
Any discussion on Chris's motion?
Hearing none, I'll call the question.

318
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:44,720
All in favor?
Opposed? See none, it's carried

319
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:47,922
Okay, we'll move on to the next one,
which is Darren. He could stay for the

320
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,320
next one.
>> [laughter]

321
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:55,040
» He could He said he was pretty sure.
>> finished his 15 minutes he was allotted.

322
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:59,520
» It's like a
>> Okay, anyway.

323
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:02,680
You You heard the the comments and and
uh

324
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:06,680
» So, I had a chance to meet obviously
with Darren beforehand and

325
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:09,920
uh I've also uh spoke to public works
about it. They told me feedback that

326
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,640
they had is that should council want to
participate in this,

327
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:16,680
uh
gives uh good grounds to have public

328
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:21,520
works involved in because of course
there's pavement on both sides of those

329
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:25,120
trees and the excuse of that they've
been very successful last couple of

330
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:29,040
years with uh uh
the timing of cutting the trees to then

331
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:33,680
treating the stump and then when they
grind to uh uh

332
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:38,840
to limit the amount of uh sucker roots
that do come up. And as you all are very

333
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:43,320
aware, sucker roots when we do trim all
of our trees, things like that, they are

334
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:47,080
a huge detriment to sidewalks, asphalt,
all those things. So yeah.

335
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,440
So now Steve would like to share that
information with the golf course,

336
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,880
especially if they're going to do so
many

337
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:58,000
to try to keep the integrity of both
their pathways and our pathways as as

338
00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:02,280
they do that work.
>> And you know, like like

339
00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:08,160
he Darren was saying is there is two
sides there that really do flank both

340
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:15,880
the town's walking path and the
and the golf course's cart path for the

341
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:20,760
golf course's fairway and and green. So
I I think that they did the right thing

342
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:24,680
by planting trees behind them, but
unfortunately now they've got these ugly

343
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:28,480
trees that are
And and again, he's he's right, you

344
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:32,400
know, Fortis has not been kind enough to
you know, you'd say well, instead of

345
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,880
doing the butcher job you guys do on
them, why don't you just

346
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:39,440
chop them
chop them down.

347
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:42,600
And they have a budget, they have a
program and

348
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,080
they don't alter from that at all, so
>> Yeah.

349
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,200
» Chris
>> Do you Do you have other municipalities?

350
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:50,800
Do they have a similar arrangement like
a cost sharing? Is that normal or is it

351
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,920
just because of the because of the
walking path and because of that shared

352
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,680
pathway?
>> Well, and then I think also too is that

353
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:59,960
you know, we we have to also always
remember is that the the that area

354
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,520
belongs to the town.
>> Yeah.

355
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:07,840
» The golf course belongs to the town and
we use it as part of our green space

356
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:12,840
um allocations and the only one that's
going to potentially affect us on a

357
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:14,480
green space allocation is the school
board that's coming up.

358
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,160
» Yeah.
>> Um cuz they can steal green space

359
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,920
allocation
or dollars.

360
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:25,360
And um
they uh

361
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:28,600
But we have been good enough to use that
green space allocation as part of the

362
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:32,040
program we have here.
>> Uh you know, if

363
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:36,800
Darren you brought up the safety factor
and and even our counselor

364
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:41,480
uh Sanderson said that uh you know,
playing there a tree comes down and

365
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:45,720
if we know that information up front, we
fail to act on it,

366
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:49,800
are we not in some sort of liability in
that, you know, like you live in that

367
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,360
world. And um
>> Well, this is now public knowledge.

368
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:55,040
» Yeah, exactly.
>> Yeah.

369
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:58,920
» But but also too on the liability side
too is that we do have a tree

370
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,640
program too. And and you know, we cannot
control mother nature

371
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:05,080
» No.
>> with the wind or the way the trees are

372
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:08,080
grow. So, I mean, some of those trees
look pretty decent on the outside and

373
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,040
then it come down on the sudden you see
there's a

374
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,520
» Oh, all the way through the middle.
>> middle of the middle of it.

375
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,040
» Yeah.
>> So, we go ahead.

376
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:19,920
» One one thing to keep in mind with
liability side is we're always liable on

377
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:24,320
those. Uh but we also are covering our
liability both from the golf course

378
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:28,720
standpoint within their own insurance
uh and the town's is we have tree

379
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:32,160
programs in place. We can prove that we
are doing ongoing maintenance of those

380
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:36,560
certain things. And and we do risk
That's why we do our trees out on the

381
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:40,440
risk assessment uh side of things. Golf
course has now come and said that their

382
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:43,560
risk assessment on these trees is very
high.

383
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:48,840
It's going to take them
And I guess that's the

384
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:52,880
what was really put to me when asked
bringing this proposal forward to

385
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:57,000
council was left to their own devices,
this could take them 20 years. And you

386
00:22:54,960 --> 00:23:00,080
know, what they're trying to do is bring
it down to 4 years.

387
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:07,800
And
so, their ask being that $15,000 year

388
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:12,880
that was to do the four years 145 that
they got quoted.

389
00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:16,560
Our our cost share is 60,000. So, 15,000
a year we obviously didn't put it in the

390
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:21,040
budget for this year, but council can
look at it as as a one-time grant going

391
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:25,840
forward to put it in the budget for the
next 3 years if you're interested.

392
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:31,320
That's logistically how you can do it.
It is uh

393
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:34,680
as Tom said, I mean you will hold title
on all that land and it's all town land

394
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:38,600
because that's that's where it's the
unique partnership and it's I I wouldn't

395
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:42,280
be able to tell you what that's like in
other communities whether they

396
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,960
they have that shared
agreement or not.

397
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,840
» So, you still
>> You don't want to be like Edmonton right

398
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,080
now.
>> No.

399
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:53,320
» Anyways, but I'll make the
recommendation that council approves the

400
00:23:51,360 --> 00:24:00,560
Vulcan Golf and Country Club's request
for funding of $15,000 per year for 4

401
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:04,880
years for the removal of hazardous trees
in coordination with public works on the

402
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:09,760
perimeter of the golf course with
funding for 2026

403
00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:14,771
of the $15,000 to be drawn from
contingency reserves and directs

404
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:19,440
administration to include 15,000
[clears throat]

405
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:25,200
the one-time grant portion of 2729
operational budget.

406
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:28,400
» Okay, thank you. Any discussion on
Dwayne's motion?

407
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,960
Okay.
Hearing none, I'll call the question in

408
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:36,320
favor.
Opposed? Seeing none, it's carried

409
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:40,960
unanimously.
>> Okay, we'll move on. Yeah, I've got a

410
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:43,480
question regarding the green space.
Explain to me this green space.

411
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:47,720
» Well,
when when they subdivide a piece of

412
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:52,480
property, a portion of the
subdivision has to go to either green

413
00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:58,120
space or you can pay cash in lieu.
And so, that's partly why when Dean

414
00:24:55,280 --> 00:25:02,440
Pollock did his area there, He wanted
the second nine holes for two reasons.

415
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:05,207
One is it creates a green space so he
didn't have to put any money up. And

416
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,680
number two,
>> [clears throat]

417
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:11,360
» he was able to retain the water from the
storm waters onto those into those ponds

418
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:15,240
and stuff like that.
>> Okay, any large subdivision has to have

419
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:19,520
10% municipal reserve.
>> Municipal. [clears throat]

420
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:25,000
But the the school has first right of
refusals on municipal on

421
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,000
municipal reserves.

422
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:32,760
So, that that's partly why, you know,
that that green space that they call a

423
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:36,040
football field or rugby field or
whatever, it really and truly belongs to

424
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:40,640
the town.
They do all the maintenance on it, but

425
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:43,720
it is part of our green space allocation
too. So,

426
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:48,640
you know, there might be a bit of a
discussion if they built a new school

427
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:52,120
depending on what happened. But anyway,
>> On the south side of the hospital?

428
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:56,200
» Yeah.
Quite quite south.

429
00:25:54,332 --> 00:25:58,720
» [laughter]
>> There was a

430
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:02,320
comment [clears throat] that did come to
me about building it at the corner

431
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,440
store.
>> A school?

432
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,640
» A school.
>> Oh, yeah.

433
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,360
» Yeah. So,
anyways, thank you for answering that,

434
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,880
sir.
>> Okay, go ahead.

435
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:14,520
» Um, I just wanted to say one thing. I I
noticed that our uh

436
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:18,600
country club's been
rebranding, so to speak, and they have

437
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:21,960
some sort of new kind of marketing
initiatives. And so, I've seen some of

438
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:25,400
the stuff that they've recently put out
on social media.

439
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:29,080
They've made the course look absolutely
beautiful, and it is in really good

440
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:33,760
shape right now, and they've done a
fantastic job of of showing it off. And

441
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:38,080
so, if you haven't looked at some of
their stuff on

442
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:42,800
Instagram or Facebook, but I think they
whoever they've hired to do that, they

443
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:45,200
it looks very very well done and
thoughtful.

444
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,880
» But I think also, you know,
>> Yeah, it looks good.

445
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:51,318
» you take a look at the golf club for for
years. They have tried different things,

446
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,560
you know, they
>> [clears throat]

447
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:56,800
» joined a different, you know, I'm not a
golfer, but they joined a a group where

448
00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:00,560
they,
you know, sold [clears throat] the the

449
00:26:58,360 --> 00:27:04,800
golf course as being one of four or one
of five or whatever, you know. They

450
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:07,360
tried different things. Now, and I think
that's great cuz I think you're right,

451
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:12,640
you know, you [clears throat] got to
kind of sometimes think outside the box.

452
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:15,760
Um and unfortunately, you know, we that
was one thing that our community has

453
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:20,080
always been known for is our tree
canopy. And you know,

454
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:25,200
the the golf course has got a huge tree
canopy and now all of a sudden it's

455
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:28,360
coming back to haunt them because their
trees are aging the same as ours are,

456
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:32,920
but
you know, and that's that's partly why

457
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:37,240
the councils in the past have put funds
away for trees and sidewalks and stuff

458
00:27:37,169 --> 00:27:41,840
» [clears throat]
>> or slowly deteriorating in our community

459
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:44,720
and so it you don't get hit with it all
big time in one year and that's what

460
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,320
they're unfortunately, [clears throat]
so.

461
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:51,120
Uh I think that, you know, but again
that tries to answer your question on

462
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:55,520
the green space allocation thing, so
it's kind of a

463
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:58,520
one that you kind of get nailed with,
but

464
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:01,840
Okay, well, we'll move on to Councillor
Sanderson.

465
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:05,200
» One pager.
>> What? Bridge? What?

466
00:28:03,369 --> 00:28:10,160
» [laughter]
>> July 14th at 8:30, um

467
00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:14,960
we had uh
we reviewed a draft to apply for the

468
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:19,720
BCSF, which is Built Community Strong
Fund. This is uh I think through the

469
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:24,800
Left Bridge program and we suggested
some additions and changes and uh

470
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:29,720
so
Lorraine got that all done up for us and

471
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:36,040
we
uh got that sent off on Monday night.

472
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:39,560
Monday afternoon. And July 14th, right
after that we were supposed to have a

473
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:43,320
design meeting, but Lorraine had another
meeting and she couldn't come on and we

474
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:47,040
needed her information, so that was
canceled, so thank goodness.

475
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:51,240
We could just have a visit until we
realized she wasn't going to be able to

476
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:55,840
make it back home. Uh July 15th at 3:00
p.m. we had a security and communication

477
00:28:53,640 --> 00:29:00,800
workshop with uh
Gloria Kaufman from the Peter Dawson

478
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:06,920
Lodge, myself, uh
Bill and Jerry. Uh they were

479
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:12,680
Jerry's with uh TWS and Bill's with
Chandos, I believe. And Briane, uh Corey

480
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:15,840
was unable to attend due to a sewer
backup, so

481
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:18,880
he had a good excuse.
But we [snorts] did need him there. Uh

482
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:22,440
we went through the plans on all the
floors.

483
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:26,800
We did room by room for security and
communication, where cameras need to be

484
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:31,320
located, which outside doors are fall
back activated, the fire and smoke, the

485
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:36,000
FD control panel, which is the remote
access, where all cable accesses are

486
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:41,720
located. Currently, there are two call
bells call bells in every room, and

487
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:45,960
those were not
relegated for. So, by going through this

488
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:48,760
room by room, you pick up
you know, the lodge can say, "Well, hey,

489
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:52,200
what about what about this? We don't
have this in there." And it wasn't on

490
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:57,760
their on their plan, so
um they're getting pricing for that. Um

491
00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:03,640
you know where all the cable accesses
are located, and um

492
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:06,360
and uh this the call bells is going to
cost us about 200,000.

493
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:10,440
» Yeah.
>> So, we need to know what our preference

494
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:15,240
is. So, they'll be talking to the staff,
we'll probably find out tomorrow night

495
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:20,200
at our meeting, and what's affordable um
prior to boarding up the walls, so it's

496
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:24,720
all all in there. TV cables, I thought
was pretty uh interesting they the way

497
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:30,320
they set it up, you can plug into Shaw
or Telus. It's very flexible, so you're

498
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:33,440
not having to change out the
So,

499
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:36,400
they're pretty and Bill had power
separate for because we have

500
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:40,520
self-contained units in there. We have
three two-bedroom, and I think 10

501
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:44,320
bedrooms are considered self-contained,
which is kind of what it is

502
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,360
At the lodge, you know, those little
separate buildings that are by Peter

503
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:51,560
Dawson Lodge, those are considered
self-contained units. Only we're going

504
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:55,440
to have some self-contained and they're
marketable, so you're going to make more

505
00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:00,880
money on them. So, that'll be a bigger
income for us to help support paying

506
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:04,320
this lodge off. So, that's uh why we
went that way.

507
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:08,640
So, he had
under his understanding, he had

508
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:12,520
two transformers,
one for the lodge and then for the

509
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:17,520
self-contained.
But, that's not how we want to set up,

510
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:21,520
so but it's cheaper to leave the
transformer plan in there than to change

511
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:26,840
it, so we're going to leave it and then
he suggested increasing the um

512
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:30,600
you know, kind of monitor the the amount
of electricity and then make them pay a

513
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,560
percentage
of the bill, so we're going to figure

514
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,920
that out.
So, a lot of things you you learn that

515
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:40,200
you didn't think you'd ever want to
learn.

516
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:43,560
Uh Jerry is going to do a camera review
and advise how many cameras exactly in

517
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:49,160
the building cuz there was a few missed,
so he's going to do that. Uh July 16th,

518
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:52,720
I attended an hour of the presentation
by Paliser.

519
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:55,800
Sorry, I had to leave, but
personally

520
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:59,800
my body needed it.
July 20th, uh 9:30 a.m.

521
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:04,160
Um
we just went through the corrections

522
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:08,080
that uh
that uh Lorraine did on that Build

523
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:12,400
Community Strong Fund and she got that
sent out July 20th. July 22nd at 9:00

524
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:18,240
a.m. Um
Lorraine, Kelly, Dick Ellis, Gloria and

525
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:24,640
myself, Brianne and Harmon from M3, Mike
and Natalie, Amar, Bill Hamilton from

526
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:28,760
Shandells and Megan from JMAA.
Um

527
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:32,920
had a a talk about some of the things
that happened in the previous meeting.

528
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:37,720
Um
50,000 is in our budget for the

529
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:41,120
nurse 50,000 is in the budget for the
nurse call button and the rest of money

530
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:44,880
will have to come out of our budget. So,
that's just more money that we're going

531
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:49,040
to have to to raise. It's
gets better.

532
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:53,960
Um vinylized
the less expensive flooring. It is LVT

533
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:57,920
flooring and other cost savings we're
going through again.

534
00:32:55,520 --> 00:33:03,000
Um Glorious Meeting Plus met with the
school to find out tomorrow night and

535
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:05,880
see if they will supply cuz a lot of
times they'll come in and supply the

536
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:09,960
towels
toilet rolls and everything. So, just

537
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:15,920
make sure that's all covered and they
will do that for nothing.

538
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:21,760
Um electrical is down 250,000. That's
the good news, but heating went up 30%

539
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:25,840
increase mechanical and heating up to a
cost of 2 million dollars.

540
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:30,520
So, checking to see if there are any
other cost savings, what equipment went

541
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:37,360
up, where increases are coming from.
So, we require an additional 1.7.

542
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:40,360
So, if we get this
um

543
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:44,000
Build Community Strong sign, I think we
asked for just over 3 million, which was

544
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:47,760
going to allow us to put everything in
that we had cut before.

545
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:52,880
But now it will
hopefully we'll get it and it will cover

546
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:57,880
this 1.7 and then put a few other things
in that we had to and who knows what

547
00:33:55,240 --> 00:34:02,000
else. I mean, until we get all the
trades locked in

548
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:07,400
then our prices can fluctuate, right?
Until that final hour. So,

549
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:11,360
Uh so, we're praying for that. So, stay
tuned.

550
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:15,360
Uh tomorrow I have a couple of
No, I just I have one meeting now, one

551
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:18,960
raising meeting tomorrow morning. Our
design meeting was canceled.

552
00:34:17,639 --> 00:34:24,000
Um they're waiting for some of these
costs to come in before we meet again.

553
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:29,000
Um and then the evening I have the
Marcus Foundation meeting.

554
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:33,200
On the 30th, uh we're supposed to have
this meeting today, but it was canceled

555
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:37,159
to
uh with our lawyer to discuss any

556
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:42,159
changes for the last agreement for
senior seats. We'll be going to that

557
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,159
later on Thursday.

558
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,760
» Nice.
>> know. We're getting closer, but

559
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:51,639
» Yeah.
Any questions for Judy?

560
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:56,280
Thank you, Councillor Vote.
>> As Judy said, I was

561
00:34:53,919 --> 00:35:01,280
also was at the Palliser school meeting
on the 16th here and quite interesting

562
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:05,360
lot of information.
Um

563
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:08,680
the very very first step.
Um

564
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:11,880
So, I I did find that very interesting.
Some of the comments were interesting.

565
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:17,040
Um
I was quite surprised at the

566
00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:19,880
size of our school versus the percentage
that's not that's not being used. That

567
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:23,280
was quite
quite an eye-opener.

568
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:26,360
Um
then uh

569
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:31,800
I
attended with Tom and Joan. We did the

570
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:36,480
new pool sign uh
unveiling on Saturday and did the parade

571
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:40,040
with that and um it was kind of fun. We
had a

572
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:43,840
It was fun. We loved that.
Um going to do the uh Strathmore parade

573
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:47,040
on Saturday. I think Georgia Lee and I
are going to do it. It's a Saturday,

574
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:50,320
right? Yeah.
And um

575
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:54,200
uh
then uh been having some comments on a

576
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:59,760
couple things. Uh one of them in the
business downtown uh the closures. Um

577
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:03,720
just wondering if if there's anything we
can do as a town, get together with

578
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:06,920
small business, see if we can come up
with any ideas

579
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:12,560
to
attract any small entrepreneurs into a

580
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:17,040
a town like ours and uh there's lots of
things in the way of doing it, but um

581
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:20,280
I don't know. I just
for me, I'm thinking we've got to do

582
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:24,480
something, you know, and try to get some
small business. I don't know how we can

583
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:28,440
work with uh
with the government provincial

584
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:33,080
government to see if there's any
incentives and we have the tax

585
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:36,400
incentives in place already, but I'm
just wondering if there's more that we

586
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:39,800
can do as a town working together with
other organizations to see if we can

587
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:45,000
draw
some smaller businesses in the town and

588
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:48,880
see if we can fill some buildings. And
um it's kind of been on my mind. The

589
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:52,200
other one uh
was um

590
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:58,440
uh
local coffee and girls coffee were

591
00:36:54,520 --> 00:37:03,960
talking about the pool and um
uh they felt how unsafe it was and they

592
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:10,560
Chris walked in while they were having
the conversation, I guess, and um

593
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:16,640
but um
so that was brought forward to me and I

594
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:22,080
said I would mention it and um
just uh see if we're doing what we're

595
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:25,520
doing about that and um
so that was about it. Um

596
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,360
And um

597
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:34,320
just the local stuff, you know, what's
going on, why they're digging a hole on

598
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:37,320
our street and you know, and
you know,

599
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:41,160
just the average stuff. So,
um

600
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:47,120
one fellow I know from over at Okotoks,
he was in the Tin Man and he said

601
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:51,680
it's the first one he did and he said it
was awesome. He uh really enjoyed it.

602
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,186
And I said, "Well, you're right right by
my house." He says, "Stopped and had a

603
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,960
coffee." You know,
>> [laughter]

604
00:37:54,480 --> 00:38:01,280
» and but uh
um he said it was very well done. So, he

605
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:05,280
he was very good to your town for that.
So, that was about it.

606
00:38:03,720 --> 00:38:07,720
I was hoping I was wrong but there's no
way.

607
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:12,640
Okay.
>> Any questions for Richard?

608
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:15,960
» So, the the question about the
businesses, is that like a taxpayer that

609
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:21,120
came to you with that?
>> That was um that was me. I'm watching

610
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:24,400
them tear down signs. I'm watching them
I'm thinking

611
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:27,760
I know
a couple people mentioned it to me, you

612
00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:31,600
know, the way we're traveling seems to
be holding up. I said, you know,

613
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:37,000
So, I said, you know, when I was looking
at those, I was watching the CIBC sign

614
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,120
come down and
I was walking [clears throat] at Main

615
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:42,720
Street and I drove up and down Main
Street a couple times and I thought,

616
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,840
what can we do?
>> And now it was the same thing since

617
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,400
then.
>> Yes, there was that one too.

618
00:38:46,240 --> 00:38:48,760
» Was there any other one?
>> Oh, okay.

619
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,000
» It was both.
>> Awesome.

620
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,280
» Oh, I should have known that.
>> Okay, I should have seen that they were

621
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:55,280
shutting down and I should have known
that they were closing down.

622
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,722
» So,
>> But you also have to remember though

623
00:38:56,720 --> 00:39:02,000
that in
>> [clears throat]

624
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:05,480
» in fairness, if you offer a incentive to
anybody, you have to offer it to

625
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,520
everybody.
>> I don't

626
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:11,320
» So, so you you got to be careful on
that. I'm not I'm not saying it's wrong,

627
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:15,320
I'm just saying that, you know, you got
it that's part of it why we came came up

628
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:19,200
with that incentive program. And and I
think we need to flog it a little bit

629
00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:24,760
more if somebody comes along and say,
"Hey, there is programs out there." And

630
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:27,840
you know, I mean, Lyle did have three
opportunities to sell that one lot.

631
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:32,920
» Yeah.
>> But they turned it down

632
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:37,320
because they restrictions on them.
Yeah, they wanted to buy it to, you

633
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:43,480
know, make it into a park.
But they only wanted to pay $50 a year

634
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:47,720
or zero for taxation on it, you know,
that type of thing. So, you know, we

635
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:52,520
only need so many parks and we only need
so many gazebos and so many bell towers

636
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:56,240
and so many, you know, type things in
our community. So, you know, but again,

637
00:39:54,720 --> 00:40:01,400
just always remember in the back of your
mind that if you offer an incentive to

638
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:04,520
one group, you have to offer it to
everybody.

639
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:08,240
» I understand that, Mr. Mayor. Um,
I just got in office and experienced um

640
00:40:06,720 --> 00:40:14,560
when I started my business, Small
Business Alberta, I went to them and it

641
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:19,640
was funny, they flat out told me, "No."
And then when we bought the shop, you

642
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:23,400
know, the Sears building, we bought that
and then

643
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:27,800
they walked in one day and I said, "If I
hired a man and if I bought a vehicle,

644
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:32,440
you would have gave me $200,000 right
now." They said, "You're right." And I

645
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:36,600
So, I was thinking along that premise. I
know with the town we have tax

646
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:40,800
incentives for your business, you know,
to start, but I I was thinking along

647
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:44,200
that premise, if if there's any way we
could come together

648
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:48,000
find out from the provincial side what
we could both come together and offer

649
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:51,880
as, you know, we have ours, they have
theirs, and maybe there's a thing.

650
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:56,000
You're leaving it at me. Go ahead.
>> I just to to that point asking what what

651
00:40:54,400 --> 00:41:00,640
we can do, those sort of things. Just
keep in mind, we're just wrapping up and

652
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:03,400
will be presented to council fairly
quickly that new economic development

653
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:08,680
plan that we've been working on for so
long that addresses small business stuff

654
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:11,920
in town as well. And if anybody is
asking you about small business help in

655
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:14,960
our community, we're still members of
Community Futures Highwood. And that's

656
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:18,440
that's huge.
That's one of the one of the largest

657
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,720
funders of small business in southern
Alberta. So, yeah.

658
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:23,720
» Okay.
>> We should We're we're still actively

659
00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:28,520
participating in that. We
So, those are the things just should

660
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,800
that come up, what are we working on
right now, those those could answer

661
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,640
those.
>> Well, thank you. Appreciate that.

662
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:37,960
» No, well, that's great. I mean
I mean it's out there. I mean there is

663
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:41,040
concerns. I mean
I'm not a big Facebook person, but you

664
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:45,800
know, when you read some of it, you have
to read between the lines, too, you

665
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:49,520
know? I mean somebody looking for
a tire, too, but yeah, you know, you

666
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:53,760
then when a person says, "Well, check
Lowe's Hardware." You know, 15 said, "Go

667
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:59,080
on Amazon." And you know, you sit back
and go, you know,

668
00:41:55,960 --> 00:42:04,800
um Olds tried to say, you know, the
Amazons and uh Purolators and uh

669
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:09,040
Peerless trucks stop at the curb and
they have to pay a uh price to come into

670
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:15,200
the community.
Uh they got hung up to dry on that one.

671
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:18,120
and uh but again you know it's So, how
many people are selling their their

672
00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:22,160
stuff because they ordered it from
Amazon and it doesn't work or doesn't

673
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:24,440
fit or but yet you know what you need a
quart of milk and what are you going to

674
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,640
do [clears throat] you want to complain
because you

675
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:33,600
you know you drive to Lethbridge and
spend $500 on on groceries and yet you

676
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:37,960
you know complain because you your quart
of milk is you know

677
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:41,920
a little higher or whatever so I mean
there there is that

678
00:42:39,720 --> 00:42:46,680
pros and cons to the treaty 2018
>> So they can find out about Community

679
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:50,000
Futures because if you come to the bank
and you can't do the loan for them they

680
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:54,000
they
give you a contact and they will the

681
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:58,080
bank will contact Community Futures and
set up so that you can get your business

682
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:01,480
up and running too so there's
everybody's working

683
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:05,520
» We we let every business
know that as well

684
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:11,240
from a council standpoint as far as
sales of buildings and things don't

685
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:14,880
lots of times we cannot we we take all
of this information in confidentially so

686
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:19,680
a sale of a building
for another business may not be common

687
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,680
knowledge

688
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:26,600
we do try to keep that
>> Um well I think it was a concept that we

689
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:31,360
we we spoke about a little bit at the
strategic planning we talked about

690
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:37,040
businesses and I mentioned what can we
do right and it's looking at okay well

691
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:43,600
what can council control and focus on
what we can control like well we can't

692
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:48,600
can't try to just fill downtown so we
have to incentivize people to come in

693
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:51,640
and advertise for businesses to come in
that

694
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:55,640
will help the community and goods and
services goods are

695
00:43:53,640 --> 00:44:01,160
are and it's tough to
have open up a shoe store in town and

696
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:04,520
thrive right in in the Amazon world we
live in

697
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:08,040
we're disproportionately affected by
area and distance that's just something

698
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:13,240
that is
in our makeup and so we have to have

699
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:17,920
service-based businesses
Those are the businesses that are doing

700
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:23,680
well. And so I think if Main Street
changes from goods to more service-based

701
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:27,920
buildings over time, but
I think we focus on what we can control

702
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:33,560
and what can we control? We can
we can look for the industrial side.

703
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:37,520
That That getting larger base businesses
in town that create jobs that bring

704
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:42,000
people into town that make them move
here and then that creates the demand

705
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:45,880
for downtown core that
language. So

706
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:50,360
Um so I think it's focusing on that
stuff and then we're coming into these

707
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:55,440
capital projects like with with the
school and the lodge and and um other

708
00:44:53,920 --> 00:45:01,440
things that are happening within
industrial parks both county and town.

709
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:06,840
And those things I think if we do a good
job advertising that and and promoting

710
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:10,560
that side, I think all the other stuff
comes into play a little bit better. So

711
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:15,400
it's
it's uh I think that's a tertiary effect

712
00:45:12,720 --> 00:45:21,360
of of all the other things that we can
control or towards and you know

713
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:26,600
administration and previous councils
they've have done a great job making

714
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:32,040
downtown look look wonderful, but we
can't control the individual owners of

715
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:34,920
the businesses. We can give those tax
incentives and

716
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:37,120
» Well, I'm not saying I'm not saying
control them. I'm just No.

717
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:40,680
» Yeah.
>> But how can we you're talking about

718
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:44,520
helping like not necessarily that
>> that control. It's it's you know, you

719
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,800
want to be fair to everyone.
>> Oh yeah.

720
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:50,600
» For sure.
>> You're just hearing a little of my heart

721
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,600
right there.

722
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:55,120
» And again, we're you know, we're not
trying to

723
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:58,720
belittle anybody's thoughts or
philosophies at all on it. It's just

724
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:02,720
that you know,
it it's not as easy as a person thinks

725
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:06,440
and
and it's easy to sit

726
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:12,880
behind your
computer or your coffee shop or whatever

727
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:17,520
and and come up with all these
suggestions and

728
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:20,240
and yet quite often, you know, it's
there's more to it than that. You know,

729
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:23,840
it's
I was once told that a subject's like a

730
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:27,680
cup, you know, you have to go all the
way around the cup to understand it.

731
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:31,400
And and I think you know, that's the
same thing with this here is that

732
00:46:29,240 --> 00:46:34,400
there's more there's more moving parts
than people think. All they see is what

733
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,960
they see.
>> Yeah.

734
00:46:34,720 --> 00:46:40,960
» And some of them have their blinders on,
you know, really quite tight. So, but

735
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:43,760
again, I think education
exactly what we talked about here

736
00:46:42,240 --> 00:46:48,160
tonight, you know, there's lots of
things out there that some of us don't

737
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:51,320
remember or didn't realize are still out
there. And if somebody has a question,

738
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:54,480
you know,
try and send them in that right

739
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:58,720
direction.
And so that we can move it forward but

740
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:01,840
» Okay, appreciate all your comments.
Thank you very much.

741
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:05,040
» Anything else for Richard?
Yeah, he comes.

742
00:47:02,720 --> 00:47:07,840
» you said something about the pool and
Um

743
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,640
Did you want to say anything about that
or did

744
00:47:08,720 --> 00:47:11,960
» The
>> Talk about safety or something.

745
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:16,920
» Yeah.
Yeah, so as you're as you were all aware

746
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:20,440
from the last council meeting, we
uh have someone fall on the on

747
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:25,840
» Oh, it's okay.
>> And there was a group at a restaurant

748
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:28,280
apparently that
had words with Chris about how unsafe

749
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:31,840
the
floor was and he defended that with

750
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:35,400
with our procedures that we have in
place. We sweep the floors every 15

751
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:38,960
minutes. We have signs posted from a
liability standpoint.

752
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:41,760
But it was brought up that there should
be flooring should be put in. And of

753
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:46,960
course all the public suggestions that
should be there without any

754
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:53,160
further thought to mold growing, rubber
flooring and all of those things. So,

755
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:58,120
from our standpoint with Alberta Health
Services that uh

756
00:47:55,240 --> 00:48:01,840
that looks after our our pool. Our
procedures are sound.

757
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:06,640
» Mhm. And uh
pool floors are are slippery. They when

758
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:10,240
they have water on them. That's why we
implemented the 15-minute squeegee cycle

759
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:15,600
between
their rotations on and off the deck.

760
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:18,960
And uh we are covering all our
sides. But

761
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:21,680
and Chris did explain that to the
>> Yeah. It didn't sound like it was very

762
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:24,280
well received.
>> Yeah.

763
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:26,560
» And in a public forum that's hard to
listen to.

764
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:30,880
Yeah, absolutely.
>> Yeah, you know and and I worked at a

765
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:33,920
swimming pool for four over well, three
different swimming pools over 40 years

766
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:40,800
and uh
uh you know, in those 40 years I saw 40

767
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:45,840
different things that were tried to make
the floors not slippery and and you

768
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:47,680
know, right from exactly Kim said, you
know,

769
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:51,200
one
pool floor they put these rubber chips

770
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:55,400
down and you know, you'd go through a
mop every 2 days. You know, because

771
00:48:53,640 --> 00:49:00,920
» The last week were very hard on it.
>> And and you know, sandblasting and I

772
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:06,360
mean, there was everything that you
could think of was tried and uh

773
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:13,400
I think I don't think there's a pool out
there that has found a

774
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:19,840
perfect system. Um so and again, exactly
Kim said uh Alberta Health uh

775
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:23,600
um definitely comes down on you if you
have water standing, but yet on the

776
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:27,160
other hand, if you
don't clean it enough or it doesn't

777
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:31,160
enough, you get in trouble, too. So, I
mean Yeah. You know, I I think

778
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:34,440
procedures and education is the best
that we can do. So.

779
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:39,400
» I appreciate it. But it's still
>> So, just um going forward, there isn't

780
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:43,360
further discussion about any changes to
the flooring. We're strictly just

781
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:46,320
sticking with the procedures that are in
place.

782
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:50,280
» Yeah, cuz we're redoing the flooring and
that uh we haven't even put a cost

783
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:52,680
estimate something like that.
>> And again, what what do you do?

784
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:55,760
» This
was engineered for a pool setting. And

785
00:49:54,480 --> 00:50:00,600
it's a
It's only 5 years old, 6 years old now.

786
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:05,400
So, the procedures that we have in place
for squeegeeing the floors and that are

787
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:08,720
as high a standard as every other pool
out there.

788
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:12,280
And and I can guarantee you there isn't
a pool in all of St. Albert that hasn't

789
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:17,080
had
the same discussion at some point in

790
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:19,320
time depending on what's going on.
>> Yeah.

791
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:24,520
» And and uh
>> So, with finance and whatnot, that we're

792
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:31,160
not held liable if somebody were to fall
then and as long as we're putting up the

793
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:35,160
» Wait. So, so on the liability side,
we're always liable. If somebody gets

794
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:40,200
hurt on a town town facilities, we're
always liable. But, we limit that

795
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:44,320
liability by posting signs, by having
procedures in place. The same as pothole

796
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:47,960
patching or fixing sidewalks or any of
those things. We put the programs in

797
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:50,600
place. We acknowledge that there's a
hazard there that we are

798
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:56,080
» Yeah.
>> And so, by This is what Chris tried to

799
00:50:53,360 --> 00:51:00,480
explain. With us squeegeeing the floor
15 minutes on a cycle as the lifeguards

800
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:04,720
are coming off the deck,
that is our procedure to make sure that

801
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:09,840
the floors are being done and the HS is
we're above standards with that. We get

802
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:12,920
get trouble for that. So.
So, yeah. And the different flooring

803
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:15,720
materials there
Anyway, as Tom said, we tried

804
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:19,240
everything. We
We sanded lots of We put glass beads

805
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:22,120
down and
they were good.

806
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:25,200
Uh
fantastic first year, second year, they

807
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:28,360
were slipperier than the floor was
before. Uh

808
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:33,280
you can put down matting, those sort of
things, but those have to be lifted

809
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:38,440
every 15 minutes to to squeegee because
uh they will grow mold and that's way

810
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:43,920
more hazardous than
posting a sign and having people

811
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:48,080
walk Then again, those are the rules for
keeping kids from running and And it's

812
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:50,680
unfortunate that we have wet areas like
that and

813
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:55,800
uh
over my career I have seen a lot of

814
00:51:52,920 --> 00:52:00,840
falls in all of our different pools.
It's unfortunate when it happens and we

815
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:04,680
have modified our procedures to where we
are today to try to keep that from

816
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:09,720
happening. But again, somebody running
or rolling an ankle or

817
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:13,040
or whatever may
happen. That's Sometimes it's an

818
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:16,680
accident as well.
>> Out of curiosity, that accident that

819
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:19,720
took place, was that
um outside or was that inside?

820
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:22,640
» inside the dressing room.
>> Okay.

821
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:26,440
» And again, lots of times it's
unfortunate, but they are accidents.

822
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:30,640
Like there's nothing And this is the
other way to look at liability from the

823
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:35,800
town side. Did the town do something
negligent to cause this to happen? And

824
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:40,760
by showing everything that we do,
there's nobody that works for the town

825
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:44,280
or is in administration for the town
that is negligently doing something to

826
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:48,320
harm people.
>> Well, and this is the thing is, like you

827
00:52:46,240 --> 00:52:51,400
can squeegee the floor a million times
and that's great. It it limits it, but

828
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:54,520
as soon as someone gets out of the pool
and they're soaking wet,

829
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:58,160
they're walking and the water they're
dragging along. So it really I mean,

830
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:03,080
that's the best that we can do. Does
that make sense?

831
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:07,000
» Okay. Anything else? Thank you, Richard.
Councillor Vote, do you have any?

832
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:10,160
» I just had the meeting with Councillor,
which I thought was interesting. It was

833
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:13,400
kind of nice to get the information
about where they stand at the moment

834
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:18,880
because then we were able to pass that
information on to to locals and help

835
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:23,840
kind of calm everyone down a little bit
with what the plans are and timeline and

836
00:53:21,720 --> 00:53:28,480
all of that fun stuff. So
um I look forward to the meeting that we

837
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:32,120
have the joint meeting with
the county. I think that's going to be

838
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:38,400
interesting.
Um I do believe I plan on attending the

839
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:44,400
Strathmore race this weekend.
Other than that, I've got nothing.

840
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:49,640
» Okay. Any questions for Shantal?
Councillor

841
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:53,240
» Uh for me, same thing with the uh
Palister meeting.

842
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:58,080
Uh well, it's great, you know, early, of
course, but I think

843
00:53:55,000 --> 00:54:02,120
getting both municipalities on side on
on potential funding and different

844
00:54:00,720 --> 00:54:06,720
things on
uh on the project, I think it's great

845
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:12,440
before the meeting in September.
Standard does the scoping, so

846
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:15,840
I think that's that's really good. Um
you know, it was seemed to be a pretty

847
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:20,160
friendly meeting, and they're more than
willing to meet

848
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:25,800
other times, and so I thought that was a
great first step.

849
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:30,240
And uh look forward to the the meeting
on the 5th.

850
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:34,040
And uh yeah, I have a
And then, following that meeting on the

851
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:37,960
5th, there's a
I'll be in a inter-municipal development

852
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:43,360
meeting, my first one.
>> Okay.

853
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:48,040
» All right. So, that'll be fun, and um
yeah, other than that, I have a little

854
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:51,760
bit of correspondence with with Angela.
I have a phone call with her tomorrow,

855
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:55,080
which is her giving me a quick update on
things.

856
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:59,880
There most likely will be a release of
funds at some point in the near future,

857
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:03,160
but I'll get more details as that kind
of comes through, so.

858
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:05,800
Yeah, [snorts] other than that, that's
it.

859
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:08,800
» Okay, any questions for Chris?
>> I'm just going to make a comment about

860
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:13,800
the Palister thing. Actually, after
sharing some of the information with not

861
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:16,440
only adults, but some of the kids too,
that have been curious and a little

862
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:20,800
concerned about what's going on with the
school, it was interesting to hear some

863
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:24,120
of their points of view on what they
would like to see in the school system.

864
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:28,160
I know it's been brought up by a few
kids that um

865
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:33,280
they fear going to the bathroom at the
school, and so they really like to see

866
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:37,280
some safety regulations put in place
when it comes to bathroom use.

867
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:41,760
Um so, it it's just going to be really
interesting, I think, to see to hear

868
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:47,280
some of the different perspectives from
teachers, EAs, um, parents, and then

869
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:50,640
kids are a big, you know, a big part of
it. I think it will be fun to to listen

870
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:54,680
to it and hear what they have to say. It
definitely opened my eyes, and I work in

871
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:58,920
the school, and it [clears throat] they
really opened my eyes to what they feel

872
00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:03,120
on a daily basis and what they feel like
they need to be able to, um, feel

873
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:07,200
comfortable.
>> One question that I was going to ask to

874
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:12,720
you that I forgot to ask in the meeting
was if they've interviewed, uh, like the

875
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:14,520
actual staff. Right? Cuz they sent out
the survey

876
00:56:13,720 --> 00:56:17,800
» the the survey.
>> I'm getting a lot of negative feedback

877
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:21,600
from the survey. Like overall, most
people that filled it out didn't like

878
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,480
the way the survey was done, but, you
know,

879
00:56:22,240 --> 00:56:26,800
» I think
>> But, uh, I thought that it would be nice

880
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:31,760
to see what the teach how the teaching
staff at the because they know the

881
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:35,800
facility better than anyone, right? And
what the what students need and whatnot.

882
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:37,360
So, it'd be interesting to see that
lens.

883
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:41,360
» I think they sent out
>> I'm not sure how it works because, you

884
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:45,640
know, they're part of the union and then
it's So, I I don't know if it's a

885
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:50,280
» I think they're going to really see a
huge Once they've been in that facility

886
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:54,400
for a long length of time, they're going
to see a big shock when they see 50% of

887
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:57,720
that building gone.
>> Yeah, exactly.

888
00:56:55,640 --> 00:57:00,880
» Yeah, and you lose you lose that second
gym cuz you're only going to have one

889
00:56:59,240 --> 00:57:05,280
gym unless somebody in the public's
going to build one, and then they get to

890
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:09,400
use it, you know? So, uh,
I I think there are a lot of teachers

891
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:13,480
that have The one gentleman that was
here talked about working in the in the

892
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:17,080
in the
>> in the CTS

893
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:20,240
» CTS, you know, you get that cut by at
least 50%, maybe 75%.

894
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:22,960
» Maybe.
>> You know, and and all of a sudden

895
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:26,640
they're going to have their eyes open,
and they're going to say maybe they're

896
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:30,520
whining and complaining because the
electrical or the air conditioning's not

897
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:33,360
as good as it should be or the
>> not enough natural light

898
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:37,840
» Yeah, not not, yeah.
>> I think the new the new like building a

899
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:40,080
brand new it's be careful what you wish
for.

900
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:45,560
» Well, I know and I think that's one
thing we we need to really definitely

901
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:49,960
go out to the public and say
you know, be careful of what you ask for

902
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:55,360
because you know, like you know,
50% to 60% and you know, and they the

903
00:57:52,760 --> 00:58:00,360
chairman of of Palliser, the reason why
that he thought that CCHHS should have

904
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:03,480
been number one for years is because of
the operating costs.

905
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:08,960
» I don't want to
with the math on that but they factor in

906
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:12,840
the CRC portion of it. That's where like
I hear from some people that it's like

907
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:17,000
oh, it's skewed because of they're
putting them the equation in and the way

908
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:20,760
they do the math they include that whole
CRC and then it just manipulation

909
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:24,840
» They have
they have but again, the the school

910
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:29,840
system has a CRC from 6:00 in the
morning till 6:00 o'clock at night every

911
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:34,600
day or I shouldn't say five five days a
week for sure

912
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:38,880
from 6:00 to 6:00 and so
if you don't want the numbers, don't ask

913
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:43,520
for the facility. So that's that's where
the public is and the the teachers and

914
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:48,240
the students and parents
you know, I've been spoiled because that

915
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:52,960
building was designed for 750 kids and
you're under 300. You know, so you're

916
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:56,440
you're less than 50% right now.
>> if I remember right.

917
00:58:54,440 --> 00:59:00,080
» So I mean so you you really have to sit
back and say again exactly what you're

918
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:04,640
saying is that be careful what you ask
for because when you get it, it might

919
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:08,720
not be exactly what you want and I think
that's where

920
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:12,120
a lot of them don't understand.
>> Yeah, that's one so I think

921
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:15,920
you know, there may be a more of a
leaning to like a hybrid model where you

922
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:19,080
keep keep the facility keep the
building.

923
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:23,400
» And again, you don't but you take a look
at them you know, the again, this is up

924
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:25,880
to Palliser to make that decision do but
I mean

925
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:31,960
you know,
$30,000 $30 million

926
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:36,240
to renovate or $35 million to build new.
Ooh, which one would I go with? I would

927
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:38,960
go with the $35 million to build new and
then take that

928
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:40,040
» The city said the $35 million was 5-year
numbers.

929
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:42,920
» Yeah.
>> That could be 40. [laughter]

930
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:46,000
» Yeah, that's going to be.
>> Well, but I mean, you know, Coalhurst

931
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:49,280
will definitely be but they're they're
getting modernization. They're not

932
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:52,280
getting a rebuild.
I mean, they're they're not a brand new.

933
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:54,680
They're getting a modernization and yet
their population is ex-

934
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:56,920
» 60
>> you know, is is going up extremely.

935
00:59:56,560 --> 01:00:00,520
» Yeah.
>> You know, where ours and and the numbers

936
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:04,760
that they're predicting too for
population growth is like when we built

937
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:09,040
the hospital, you know,
they believe believed in in 30 years

938
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:10,720
we'd be over 5,000 people in the town of
Vulcan.

939
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:14,840
» Yeah.
>> You know, it hasn't happened when we

940
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:17,800
built that one in 1980. You know, so
it's [clears throat] again, be careful

941
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:20,000
what you ask for cuz sometimes when you
get it

942
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:22,600
» Mhm.
>> Anyway,

943
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:25,960
it'll be interesting to see but you
know, there isn't and again too, you

944
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:29,520
know, that that's the thing that bothers
me the most about the

945
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:33,480
the surveying.
It it's doesn't matter what group you

946
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:38,480
were at with, whether it's
young, middle,

947
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:43,960
our age group or the seniors, you know,
everybody wants this to give you this

948
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:47,520
information but 99% of them don't.
All we want to do is, you know, like

949
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:51,360
like they hardly give you that
information in a timely fashion.

950
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:55,400
I mean, you know, they talked about
Palliser came to us or we went to them

951
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:59,560
and asked for this meeting.
And then the other in September, you

952
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:03,280
know, a month and a half
of time to to come with all these

953
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:06,440
questions, with all these suggestions
and all these ideas.

954
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:09,800
You know,
a month and a half. If we wouldn't have

955
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:14,040
asked for this meeting,
we would be

956
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:16,200
we you know, what would we have done?
You know, Stantec would have showed up

957
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:18,880
here.
>> In September, yeah.

958
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:22,840
» And you know,
would we even known about it?

959
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:26,400
» And that meeting's an open forum for
everyone.

960
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:30,040
» It is. And it's just like where it just
be at the town hall or wherever it is.

961
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:32,960
» Well, it could be might be in the Legion
or at the Irish Hall.

962
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:35,080
» I see it sitting
>> Okay.

963
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:38,480
» I see it in the CRC CRC.
>> Yeah, it could be right. Yeah, that's a

964
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:42,480
good good place to have it in. But but
you you go there and watch the numbers.

965
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:46,320
You know, you you listen to the whining
and complaining and carrying on in life

966
01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:49,240
and then how many people show up.
>> You know.

967
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:52,880
» It'll be It'll be 2%
and yet, you know, there'll be

968
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:56,640
how many people So, I mean, if you look
at the stats that they gave us on those

969
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:59,240
Dwayne didn't get them, did you?
Unfortunately, we should give you a copy

970
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:03,960
of them.
Uh of of of that survey, how many people

971
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:07,200
were from, you know, town, how many were
from county, and how many were

972
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:10,080
educational
teachers, you know.

973
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,960
» No, she didn't supply that survey. She
didn't.

974
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:14,360
» Really?
>> Jill provided the survey.

975
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:15,680
» She showed us the the pies the pie
charts on the back of that one. So,

976
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:19,360
yeah.
>> Yes. Yeah. But she was going to supply

977
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:21,120
me a digital one.
>> Yeah.

978
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:25,280
» So.
>> But anyway, I mean, so it's there there

979
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:26,120
is but
>> Mhm.

980
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:28,680
» Yeah.
>> It'll be interesting, so.

981
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:32,520
» I think it'll be more interesting just
on the practice center side, too. Like

982
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:34,480
that's I would be interesting to get
that.

983
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:38,120
» Well, and we need to do some soul
searching on that side, too. So.

984
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:40,880
» Mhm.
Well, that's one of the main

985
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:44,720
» When they when you know, when they talk
about the the facility that's that's,

986
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:48,680
you know, it's going to need a new roof
in the next 2 years and a new heating

987
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:53,000
system in the next 2 years and
you know, and you go

988
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:56,920
Okay, this facility is less than 40
years old and and uh

989
01:02:55,200 --> 01:03:02,360
» And there's probably an input of
probably 300 to 400,000 that have to go

990
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:04,880
into that building.
>> So, but anyway.

991
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:08,520
» Yeah, well, they said a million dollars
for the roof.

992
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:10,960
» Yeah, just in that. But it's
>> Mhm.

993
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:16,000
» It's government.
>> Okay, anything else for Chris?

994
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:19,698
If not, thank you, Counselor Hill.
>> I don't understand parade.

995
01:03:18,388 --> 01:03:21,080
» [laughter]
[snorts]

996
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:29,160
» Three other people ride with me to
Calgary. It was most enjoyable.

997
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:31,280
I did get a text message on
uh

998
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:38,038
Put this up here.
Just give me a second, please. I'm

999
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:41,880
sorry.
>> [snorts]

1000
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:45,480
» It would have been on
the 15th

1001
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:49,800
from Mr. Ellis
that the Mosely Transfer Station had

1002
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:56,080
been broken into
and uh

1003
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:58,360
they were apprehended by the RCMP. I
haven't heard any more with regards to

1004
01:03:57,800 --> 01:03:59,720
that.
>> Did they steal the garbage or did they

1005
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:02,520
uh
>> No, they were bringing the garbage in

1006
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:06,560
and dumping it.
>> Okay. No, that's good.

1007
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:11,160
» So, yeah. Yeah, which I I kind of found
weird as well. Uh

1008
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:15,600
but other than that, no. Um our
Foothills Regional Emergency Services

1009
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:21,280
Commission meeting was canceled.
I think they're going to try for

1010
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:26,840
another meeting in August, late August.
And that that was it.

1011
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:29,280
Kind of holiday. It was cold, rainy.
No sunshine.

1012
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:33,480
» It was It was hot here. It was
>> Yeah, I know. I heard.

1013
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:37,320
Yeah, but the bunch of those uh American
people

1014
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:41,360
they were freezing to death. I've never
seen toques, gloves, mitts, jackets,

1015
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:44,760
scarves.
>> It's 15°.

1016
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:46,080
» Yeah. They're walking around in shorts
and a

1017
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:50,840
» T-shirt. Yeah.
>> So, no, that's it, Mr. Mayor.

1018
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:55,400
» Okay. Any questions for Dwayne?
And I thank you very much. And I too was

1019
01:04:53,440 --> 01:05:00,840
at the Foothills meeting, but uh I too
was uh have lots of ideas and thinking,

1020
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:04,560
but uh again, I think we need to really
uh

1021
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:08,720
contemplate what we are our ask would be
um and what our contribution would be.

1022
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:12,560
Um
I I think we have a in their eyes a very

1023
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:16,360
good
working relationship and I think that

1024
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:19,560
that's that's a good one and you know
we've heard from Don once that

1025
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:24,680
you know
it took our

1026
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:28,720
our agreement and kind of expanded it to
to to fit for other municipalities and

1027
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:32,920
and
so I I think we're ahead of the game on

1028
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:38,480
one event but
so I think again you know our our wants

1029
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:42,160
and asks and and our our needs are
all going to be altered a little bit

1030
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:46,560
because what we're going to accustomed
to.

1031
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:53,000
Um I had a SEWA
meeting and then a an hour and a half

1032
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:58,240
meeting again today on SEWA so it's uh
it's it's getting uglier as the days go

1033
01:05:55,160 --> 01:06:04,560
on but hopefully we will see something
happen soon over in in Newell uh solid

1034
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:08,720
waste and that might alleviate some of
our problems with

1035
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:13,120
what's what's going on so
Um I too like Richard said I went to

1036
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:18,120
Vulcan.
I went and got the float and took it

1037
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:21,680
down and then met up with Richard and
Joan and

1038
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:27,160
and Richard walked in the parade and it
was it was good to see. There was a

1039
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:31,080
two two of the stars that they had they
couldn't believe what we've done. You

1040
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:33,640
know what I mean? It's it's really funny
you know

1041
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:38,400
it's it's like so many things in life
you know people that come into your

1042
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:42,360
community sometimes are just gobsmacked
by what's going on what's here and what

1043
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:45,280
we've got and what's going on and yet
locally we think that we've got nothing

1044
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:48,640
and
and uh

1045
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:53,760
and and I think by
slowly trying to build on the on it and

1046
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:57,360
and um
and and move the project forward I think

1047
01:06:55,640 --> 01:07:02,360
it I think it's the the best thing that
we can do you know every couple years

1048
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:06,560
try and do something and and uh
make it so that there's more things for

1049
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:13,600
people to come to but
Um I did watch a interview with a one of

1050
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:15,920
the vendors um, on channels
um,

1051
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:21,160
global
and uh, you know, he was did had nothing

1052
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:24,920
but great things to say about the
facilities that we have and and what was

1053
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:29,320
going on and the whole thing. I mean, it
was just a real good interview and

1054
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:31,480
after, you know,
listening to the whining and complaining

1055
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:35,320
because
>> But let's not forget your taxi driving

1056
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:39,600
because I was coming up and you had a a
bunch of people

1057
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:43,040
» And that was the same thing, you know,
Richard comes along and and he he said,

1058
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:46,840
you know,
I said to him, "Well, I'm not going back

1059
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:50,920
to the to the tourist center." And then
the then the float wouldn't start

1060
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:55,960
because I
had the generator on, but I didn't have

1061
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:59,280
the town crew had taken the
battery charger off. So, then I put the

1062
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:03,440
battery charger on and then I got it
going. And then these these women that

1063
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:07,160
couldn't walk
in the parade said, "How are we going to

1064
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:10,960
get back?" So, I gave them I was giving
them a ride. So, I get down there and I

1065
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:14,880
thought, "Well, maybe I can catch
Richard before Richard comes back and

1066
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:16,839
gives me a boost." And then I didn't see
you, but

1067
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:18,480
» I drove by and you saw these people
sitting there.

1068
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:22,839
» So, I
yeah, I was a taxi guy back down. So,

1069
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:28,520
then I dropped them off, I come back to
the town shop and I didn't have the keys

1070
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:33,200
to my van and I went down town taking my
cell phone. So, now here I am at the

1071
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:37,319
town shop, how do I get Well, I tried
using the phone system, but I couldn't

1072
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:41,359
get through and anyway,
it was a gong

1073
01:08:39,359 --> 01:08:46,799
the whole back part. But anyway, I did
get finally find a method to get my

1074
01:08:44,319 --> 01:08:50,359
send out smoke signals
>> out of the back of the starship.

1075
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:56,880
I had to laugh. I had to laugh.
>> I felt so bad cuz here I said to

1076
01:08:55,440 --> 01:09:00,279
Richard, "Oh, I need a boost." and he
went to get the vehicle and then he come

1077
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:03,720
come back and I'm gone, so
>> Well, no, actually, you were coming down

1078
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:07,400
Main Street with all the I drove by, you
didn't see me. I waved to you. And I

1079
01:09:05,440 --> 01:09:10,520
thought, well, he's doing taxi service
now, and so it's working.

1080
01:09:08,799 --> 01:09:13,720
» Yeah, well,
they thought it was good. But anyway,

1081
01:09:11,839 --> 01:09:17,200
you know, I the little bit that I had to
do with

1082
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:21,359
the Vulcan was great. And I I think the
signage and

1083
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:27,520
the rock Yeah. We were proposing it to
us is was a a win-win. And And so, I

1084
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:31,759
think once it gets all
up and running, I too am looking forward

1085
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:36,160
to the uh Vulcan County meeting that's
coming up. And

1086
01:09:33,480 --> 01:09:39,040
again, the parade in And um
Strathmore. So, Chris will be sending

1087
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:43,240
out a
what time we are going to meet. And And

1088
01:09:41,279 --> 01:09:49,960
uh so, those that are coming
can meet up and we'll

1089
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:55,040
go to Strathmore on Saturday evening.
And that's pretty well it for me.

1090
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:57,680
Any questions?
>> Shouldn't be.

1091
01:09:55,800 --> 01:10:00,720
» If not, somebody wish to move the uh
verbal reports.

1092
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:04,720
Richard?
>> Okay.

1093
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:08,200
» An ADR. I'm not
>> Okay. Any discussion on Richard motion?

1094
01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:12,240
Hearing none,
>> I have a question in the favor.

1095
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:16,920
» Thank you very much, everybody. And
moving on to action list.

1096
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:19,400
» So, my pretty big board, we had the two
things from the last meeting, obviously.

1097
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:22,600
Uh
I got the

1098
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:26,920
Dwayne at the last minute because of
vacation to get his oath of office done.

1099
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:30,120
But uh I mean, it's all there before you
now.

1100
01:10:28,480 --> 01:10:31,920
My agenda needed to be published.
>> So.

1101
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:35,160
» Uh
unless there's any questions on

1102
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:37,320
» There There was a uh
a

1103
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:40,720
uh one of the things that we're kind of
disappointed that we don't have it on

1104
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:44,080
our action list that I didn't know that
was the first thing that was on our

1105
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:46,200
action list for the last 5 years.
>> was the uh

1106
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:49,360
» the birds of
>> the birds of prey.

1107
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:51,600
» They brought it up as a you know, when
are we going to get the birds of prey?

1108
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:55,880
» Mhm.
>> And so,

1109
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:59,160
» Any proposal that comes forward, I still
got it uh tucked away in back the

1110
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:02,160
» I I I said to them
back I I

1111
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:06,840
said that if you had some cash and you
wanted to make a donation that we would

1112
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:09,560
put it towards it, but uh
nobody came with

1113
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:14,960
But anyway, sorry.
>> So, on to my uh report, pretty

1114
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:18,560
straightforward. Uh you've all had a
chance to read it, so uh

1115
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:23,600
obviously lots of questions with the
Parks Foundation.

1116
01:11:21,440 --> 01:11:26,960
The still, which is good. Uh the our
street program, they you can see the

1117
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:30,760
construction moments in it working.
They're currently 1 day behind. We have

1118
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:34,920
a site meeting tomorrow.
Try to get that back on track.

1119
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:39,920
Uh
Quite a bit of work with the golf course

1120
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:44,080
public works on that on that proposal.
Uh quite a bit of

1121
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:48,360
research on the county land use bylaw
and the before what's going up for the

1122
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:52,240
inter-municipal uh development
committee. I do have some things to send

1123
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:56,600
out to you as well, Chris. Keep that.
Uh

1124
01:11:54,000 --> 01:12:00,760
The water break in Birch, uh that
happened during all the rest [snorts] of

1125
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:06,600
the stuff that was going on. Uh
water was down by uh

1126
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:12,280
11:00. They had it isolated. Uh had it
back on by 7:00 that evening. So, uh

1127
01:12:09,440 --> 01:12:17,560
fairly limited effect and really only
affected Birch Road, Birch Bay

1128
01:12:14,440 --> 01:12:17,560
um for the most part.

1129
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:27,080
And again, with Rita being away, you
have lots of business licenses and

1130
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:31,760
uh uh tax uh or sorry, uh your
compliance certificates.

1131
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:36,200
Putting people to the right place for uh
uh for permits, those sort of things. Uh

1132
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:38,560
been working
uh

1133
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:43,200
answering questions from community
members on data centers. Lots of people

1134
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:47,360
asking lots of questions. Uh
I

1135
01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:52,280
been very clear that I'm a long ways
from being an expert and

1136
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:55,560
perhaps filtering things online might be
a good start to

1137
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:58,640
move from there, so.
And uh

1138
01:12:57,040 --> 01:13:02,720
my formal meetings, obviously Golf
Course Executive Paliser meeting was uh

1139
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:05,400
it was excellent. Uh
should be able to get together with the

1140
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:08,960
county and and
see what kind of happening there is uh

1141
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:13,240
should there
uh be

1142
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:16,280
that project start to move forward.
Uh had a meeting with Davis in, for

1143
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:21,920
those of you that you remember, I
participated in a 3-day infrastructure

1144
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:26,160
uh workshop. And uh the results of that
have come out. They're actually starting

1145
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:29,000
to be tested. And uh Mountain View would
like to

1146
01:13:27,440 --> 01:13:33,080
well, most likely be coming to our next
council meeting and should the mayor

1147
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:37,120
approve it to be on the agenda, she'd
like well, it's the opportunity to be

1148
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:40,760
one of the first in the province to try
it

1149
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:42,800
should you be interested in this one.
Uh um

1150
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:48,400
it [snorts] will have to be closed
session because there's some proprietary

1151
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:50,000
and uh and uh
Sorry.

1152
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:53,880
» [snorts]
>> Uh procure procure

1153
01:13:52,440 --> 01:13:57,160
procurement
Uh

1154
01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:59,320
changes that will go along with that, so
uh

1155
01:13:57,880 --> 01:14:03,240
Uh we're looking forward to getting that
project forward. I had a really good

1156
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:06,960
meeting with her and uh and it's looking
really promising.

1157
01:14:05,480 --> 01:14:11,760
Kind of nice when you do 3 days worth of
work and actually see some

1158
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:16,360
results out of it, so. And then
obviously been back and forth almost

1159
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:21,200
every day with CEMA on
on the street program. Again, because

1160
01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:24,520
this our next project relies so heavily
on the first part, we're watching this

1161
01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:26,960
one very closely
to make sure.

1162
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:30,080
And uh
that's

1163
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:31,840
the last couple weeks.
>> Okay.

1164
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,640
Go ahead, Chris.
>> Quick question.

1165
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:36,280
» Yeah.
>> Uh

1166
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:39,400
electric motorcycles.
>> Mhm.

1167
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:42,960
» But is there anything in the bylaw on
how we treat those?

1168
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:46,040
» They are in
the ones I've got in our bylaw is 50

1169
01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:49,640
km/h.
>> So you're checking like the e-bikes?

1170
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:51,680
» Yeah. Yeah, we have a bylaw that fits
that.

1171
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:54,000
» under the Traffic Act.
>> Okay.

1172
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:57,120
» Because all of our our road way is so
they're enforceable under the Traffic

1173
01:14:55,760 --> 01:15:00,920
Act. We don't have anything in our
bylaws so we're not allowed to regulate

1174
01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:01,800
anything like that. So, something like
that.

1175
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:04,240
» Okay.
>> And

1176
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:09,360
I can I can bring it to I'll I'll send
I'll send the information.

1177
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:13,320
» Yeah.
>> Yeah, they and they and again the folks

1178
01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:16,240
that are using them need to be very
careful because it's the same thing as

1179
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:20,920
the the same thing as the golf carts
driving those around town.

1180
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:23,160
» Yeah, and they they don't make a sound.
>> No.

1181
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:25,520
» Like
Yeah, and they go just yeah.

1182
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:29,280
» Yeah.
>> And I I

1183
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:33,120
I do believe I do believe I haven't
haven't seen anything official but I do

1184
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:36,520
believe all of that but all of that
small vehicle

1185
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:40,640
stuff is being reviewed because of the
e-bikes and all that now because there

1186
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:45,200
are some
regular bicycles battery powered by

1187
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:47,040
bicycles that can be difficult to
>> Yeah.

1188
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:49,920
» Yeah, so.
>> There's one goes by my house every

1189
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:53,920
morning and
it's not plated I don't think and at

1190
01:15:52,480 --> 01:15:57,400
least he's wearing a helmet and
>> Right. Young kid.

1191
01:15:55,120 --> 01:16:00,360
» Which is a which is a choice when you're
over 18.

1192
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:04,160
» Yeah, he doesn't look that old but
>> I I believe that I believe that that's

1193
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:06,840
currently being reviewed but yes, we
don't have anything in our bylaws but it

1194
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:08,400
is covered under the Traffic Act and
they're not allowed.

1195
01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:11,040
» Yeah.
>> Yeah.

1196
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:14,200
» Yeah, like the the
rich governments really doing a big

1197
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:16,480
review on that.
>> Okay.

1198
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:19,160
» Yeah, I figured I I
it's and our information is quite

1199
01:16:19,157 --> 01:16:22,280
» [clears throat]
>> the provincial information is quite old.

1200
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:25,960
I've got a whole file on it. I'll send
you out the the overview of what's

1201
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:27,560
covered and what's not. Okay, I'll send
it to the councilors tomorrow.

1202
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:33,760
» Thank you.
>> Yeah, just there's been lots of lots of

1203
01:16:29,440 --> 01:16:39,040
commenting on that. That's That's why
several years ago we had it included in

1204
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:43,320
our bylaw. Council had made a motion to
allow golf carts to drive around town

1205
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:45,720
and it was against the traffic guy.
>> The provincial traffic guy. So, we

1206
01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:50,920
actually had to recall
>> Had to recall by-law and rewrite it. So,

1207
01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:55,920
uh we tried to accommodate it, but you
cannot

1208
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:59,880
It's very interesting. You cannot do
anything more or less than a provincial.

1209
01:16:58,480 --> 01:17:03,880
So,
you can in some cases put on more

1210
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:07,200
stipulations,
but when they draw that line, your

1211
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:08,320
subjects can't do less. Does that make
sense? You know,

1212
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:10,903
» Yeah, like
>> Okay.

1213
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:16,120
So, if the province says that
[clears throat] the roads

1214
01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:18,920
the minimum they can be is 30 km/h, you
can't go like 20.

1215
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:21,080
» Yeah.
>> Yeah.

1216
01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:24,400
» Or if No, sorry. If they say the minimum
is 30, you can't put it up to 40.

1217
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:29,560
» Yeah, you can't increase that.
>> But you can go down to 20. So, you can't

1218
01:17:27,480 --> 01:17:32,960
If they say a golf cart's not allowed on
a public roadway, you can't say it's

1219
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:35,480
allowed on our streets.
>> Mhm. Mhm.

1220
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:38,000
» So, I'm kind of seeing that.
>> That's fair.

1221
01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:40,560
» Yeah, it's cuz there's there's lots of
stuff

1222
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:45,320
going through and and if you I'm not
sure if you get that that email from AM,

1223
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:49,320
but there's always usually a bit in
there about what's going on provincially

1224
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:53,480
with some of that, too.
Kind of read through that and if there's

1225
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:56,760
something that, you know, tweaks your
imagination or question on,

1226
01:17:55,960 --> 01:18:00,200
if you do.
>> Yeah, if you do have a complaint or

1227
01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:03,840
somebody has talked to you about that,
bikes and those uh call would be to your

1228
01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:05,880
RCMP.
>> Okay.

1229
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:09,960
» And
the other thing I think that the public

1230
01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:13,640
doesn't understand either is that you
have the ability cuz 99% of people have

1231
01:18:12,480 --> 01:18:16,400
a cell phone
>> Yeah.

1232
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:21,040
» to take a picture of their license plate
and lay a complaint against that person,

1233
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:24,440
even though you might not know who they
are, and but you have to file a report.

1234
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:29,080
» Mhm.
>> But it's easier to go on this and go

1235
01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:33,240
like this on Facebook, send, and then
you're think you're anonymous to a

1236
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:38,720
degree, but you're not. But But again,
you know, if you are offended by

1237
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:42,400
somebody speeding or or breaking the
what you believe is the rules.

1238
01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:44,600
Go get get their license.
>> Yeah.

1239
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:46,600
» Go ahead and file a complaint though.
You can't just

1240
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:48,040
» Mhm.
>> complain.

1241
01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:51,960
» complain
>> Well, you can complain. I mean, that's

1242
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:55,760
what 99% of people do, but but but
again, you know, if you really want to

1243
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:59,800
do something, you know, put put your
name behind it and write a

1244
01:18:57,880 --> 01:19:05,640
And that's what this one person's doing
on that speeding on on

1245
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:09,200
on Elizabeth or Connemara. And you know,
they're going to review it, but again,

1246
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:12,880
you know, it's
and they talk about it being in a in a

1247
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:17,120
playground zone.
Uh we don't have a playground zone.

1248
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:21,160
Like I mean, a school zone I should say.
We only have playground zones. We don't

1249
01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:23,960
have any school zones in town of Boca.
So, you know, uh

1250
01:19:22,440 --> 01:19:27,480
you know, some people don't get all
their facts right.

1251
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:31,440
You know, what's going on. So
>> I have witnessed

1252
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:34,840
radar in the last week.
>> And and and again, sometimes that's what

1253
01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:39,600
it takes is is a complaint, but that
person was willing to put their name to

1254
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:42,080
it instead of just going out there and
and

1255
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:46,480
you know,
>> So, the answer to the long answer to the

1256
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:50,560
question is anything inside the traffic
act got to be our responsibility

1257
01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:52,760
within our bylaws. Anything on the
public roadways falls under the traffic

1258
01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:54,560
act.
>> Okay.

1259
01:19:53,440 --> 01:19:58,840
» Perfect.
>> Okay, anything else for Kim?

1260
01:19:57,040 --> 01:20:01,720
If not, somebody wish to move the
management or administration.

1261
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:03,840
Judy did.
>> I'll back you.

1262
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:07,400
» Thank you.
>> Any discussion on Judy's motion?

1263
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:10,640
Hearing none, I'll call question. In
favor? Opposed?

1264
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:15,040
It's carried. Okay, we'll move on.
Dwayne Hill adjourns us

1265
01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:19,200
8:19.
Thank you very much, Dwayne.

1266
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:19,200

1267
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:23,600

1268
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:26,720

1269

officially. Adjourned. Thank you very
much, everybody.

01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:35,560

county, you know, come with your

1271
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:35,560
