1
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:16,640
second fa say I I iOS name motion is
carried moving on then to committee

2
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:22,080
reports first one being mine which was
uh circulated to council um I already

3
00:00:20,039 --> 00:00:26,880
mentioned my visit to py it was a very
busy month January started off with the

4
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:31,800
two years day Levy here which was very
well attended and successful I believe

5
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:36,239
and picked off a celebration for the
250th anniversary of our fire department

6
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:40,719
which will there'll be a lot of activity
going on in the coming months through

7
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:44,840
the year to celebrate that 250th
anniversary quite remarkable that the

8
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:50,360
the
uh the fire department was in in service

9
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:57,000
before the
town Town's 130 years old and it's 250 I

10
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:03,120
think it's 150 I think I'm just I added
100 years thing what can I say uh

11
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:08,759
150 so the fire department's 150 years
old the town's 130 years old this year

12
00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:14,479
so fire fire department preceded the
actual Town

13
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:17,799
status um other than that lots of things

future provincial conferences uh by the
Rens was well attended and also

generated over $887,000 spent in P
County um P County parnership also

38
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:25,560
represent many P County businesses in
Halifax small business popups they call

39
00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:29,799
the pop can on the halifa waterfront um
where they took in products from local

40
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:33,680
businesses here and sold them and
promoted them on their behalf uh very

41
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:39,519
successful and probably looking to again
the summer by some next year um they're

42
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:43,959
also doing a series of succession
workshops uh the idea to keep long

43
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:47,959
serving businesses from closing up shop
um when they started this process the

44
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:53,319
big thing they they discovered was that
a lot of businesses that been around for

45
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:58,239
a while didn't really have good um
appreciated what their business was

46
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:05,040
actually wor so U they're doing that as
a a uh as a starting

47
00:04:01,799 --> 00:04:08,200
point and then from there the goal is to
have some these long-term businesses

48
00:04:06,439 --> 00:04:11,239
would have a strong market share if they
don't have a success with planand then

49
00:04:09,799 --> 00:04:16,040
you lose that business in the community
where it could be something that could

50
00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:19,160
be marketed to employees or other local
businessmen or people want to move to

51
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:23,840
the area they want to purchase and
establish business so um on the other

52
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:28,199
side of the coin they're also doing
entrepreneural sessions uh those who

53
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:31,840
want to start business were lack lacking
the knowledge uh

54
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:36,440
and also those that are want to start a
business and unsure what what Market

55
00:04:33,479 --> 00:04:41,800
would be best to go into uh they have
side hustle program uh programs help

56
00:04:39,039 --> 00:04:47,759
side hustle business take that next step
to uh to uh developing their business

57
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:53,840
into something and something
more uh got too many points here I'll

58
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:59,080
Just sh this out
um oh the uh developing a new resource

59
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:02,880
tool you will appreciate this worship um
being developed to outline the assets of

60
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:07,199
each municipality to have a single
source of marketing our our County so

61
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,240
they be reaching out to administrations
to looking for kind of like the

62
00:05:08,919 --> 00:05:15,160
inventory that we're currently taking
now to Market ourselves they want to

63
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:19,240
have a central point which is
that and I was thinking the other day

64
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:24,000
looking back and we originally started
the economic working group and you look

65
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:28,440
at all the plans and all the things
steps they're taking now many of those

66
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:33,560
were on our wish list when we started
say you know what do we want R to look

67
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:36,600
like U the province is uh very impressed
with the work being done by the

68
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:40,919
partnership um and a lot of these
programs they've been asked to be kept

69
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:43,880
arrest up because they're successible um
they might want to use the same type of

70
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:49,440
programs and the other rents across
profs to kind of standardize

71
00:05:45,639 --> 00:05:54,400
it um last piece the uh new inter
intermunicipal 5e agreement will be

72
00:05:51,479 --> 00:06:00,199
going up to the C don't have that yet
see you soon um the idea is multi-year

73
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:05,400
agreement to assist involment help
provide a good basis we we try to get

74
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:10,560
leverage more money from the provs right

75
00:06:08,919 --> 00:06:14,160

81
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:41,240
week last thing um the only of the main
isues I heard from citizen this month

82
00:06:39,919 --> 00:06:45,599
revolved around the increase in the
assessments and they P down their taxes

83
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:51,639
that they pay and what I've explained to
them pvsc being pvsc being the a third

84
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:55,000
party imponent body that does the
assessments we don't really have to

85
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:59,520
control that the only weu controls to
ensure that we do whatever we can not

86
00:06:57,599 --> 00:07:04,680
increase our tax rate so that's that's
pretty much all I been guarante

87
00:07:02,039 --> 00:07:10,400
so and was tomorrow night 7: p.m.
westool police station all are

88
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:15,680
welcome thank you very much Stephie May
rather extensive report uh I I just one

89
00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:22,560
comment or two comments number one on
the pict County partnership you know I I

90
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:27,240
think we let's let's be honest here uh
this Council among other councils at

91
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:31,360
some point in time during the past few
years questioned the the value and and

92
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:36,000
and what the partnership was actually
doing and one of the one of the concerns

93
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:42,360
we had was the lack of reporting and
information as to what exactly was going

94
00:07:38,039 --> 00:07:45,800
on uh and through uh representative
Deputy Mayor the information you just

95
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:51,599
provided that that's what we were
looking for uh I think it's safe to say

96
00:07:48,759 --> 00:07:57,360
now that most the people around Council
tables P the county say uh this was a

97
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,280
great thing that we that we have here at
pcta County and and they're doing great

98
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:05,840
work
um and a lot of it is the development of

99
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:11,599
looking out these small businesses that
places you know need need help in a lot

100
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:16,599
of ways so very happy to hear that
partnership is doing great things at

101
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:22,599
Victor County uh and hope it continues
for a long time um and the other comment

102
00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:26,800
I wanted to make mayor was with regard
to Glen Haven uh because you know people

103
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:30,080
are aware the GL Haven is being replaced
and that's going to close at some point

104
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:34,360
time
relatively near future new facility is

105
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:42,880
going to be built um and at that time
when that closes we as a town Westville

106
00:08:38,479 --> 00:08:49,480
will no longer be a c owner of of the of
that facility so if people AR where what

107
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:58,200
has existed during the time of Cl Haven
is the fact that the towns of Westville

108
00:08:53,760 --> 00:09:04,360
ston New Glasco uh and
Trenton are the owners of Glen and

109
00:09:02,279 --> 00:09:08,480
therefore set on the board and
representatives on the board which

110
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:13,959
Deputy Mayor represented currently on
that board but that will cease once the

111
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:16,720
Glen Haven closes and do fail online so
just just a little background

112
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:22,480
information that people probably aren't
aware of it was our decision not to be

113
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:28,120
an owner by the way we we feel we felt
as a council we don't want to be in that

114
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:34,040
business of providing longterm
care business and as far as I understand

115
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:38,079
the current board will be sit as
required until they compl the transition

116
00:09:36,279 --> 00:09:44,320
right yeah there'll be some time yet oh
yes yeah definitely anyway that's uh

117
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:53,000
appreciate that uh councelor Clary
mcken thank you your worship uh I think

118
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:58,839
it was uh a normal month and I usually
just say that I attended all the uh

119
00:09:56,079 --> 00:10:05,040
meetings that I was supposed to but to
give a little flavor of the monthly life

120
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:09,640
of the counselor I think I'll just
mention them without going

121
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:15,079
into much
detail but uh the levy is as you

122
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:22,480
mentioned your worship was outstanding
the fact that we had people there that

123
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:27,519
were newcomers as recent as uh just a
few months and they were interested

124
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,519
enough in coming out

125
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:40,079
to the second uh event or uh meeting
that I attended as the representative of

126
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:47,959
Town Council on the Riverview home
corporation uh we are moving ahead with

127
00:10:43,079 --> 00:10:54,560
implementing the remedy report and uh uh
slowly moving out uh residents from the

128
00:10:51,839 --> 00:11:00,000
adult residential
Center attended the uh special meeting

129
00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:06,760
of uh
Council uh the next night the police

130
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:15,200
commission and one thing I would like to
mention there is that there were only

131
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:15,200
108 calls in
