1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:16,680 All right, we'll start the regular council meeting for Tuesday, February 11th, 2025. As we gather, we 2 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:22,480 reminded that the town of Bonneville is situated on Treaty 6 Land that is steeped in rich indigenous 3 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:28,880 history and is the traditional homeland and home to first nation and mighty people today. We respect 4 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:34,560 the histories, languages and cultures of first nation, mighty and all first people of Canada 5 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:42,000 whose presence continues to enrich our community. Okay. First up, we have our agenda where there 6 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,640 are any additions to the agenda. Nothing from administration. Okay. I can get a motion to approve, please. 7 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:53,920 Councilor Blanchett, I'll live adoption of the agenda as presented. All in favor? Okay. 8 00:00:53,920 --> 00:01:01,360 Next, we have the meeting minutes from January 28th, 2025. Were there any additions or 9 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:09,600 deletions, changes? None will look per motion to approve, then as presented. Councillor Johnson. 10 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:18,960 I'll make the motion to accept the minutes as presented. All in favor? Carried. All right. We have a 11 00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:23,680 delegation this evening, the child and adolescent mental health collaborative. Welcome. 12 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:34,960 Yeah, please, if you can come up. Yeah. Well, we'd like you to use the mic. Oh, yeah. Yes, please. 13 00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:42,000 If you don't mind. We want to hear about you. Oh, we're back again. And we want everybody else to hear. 14 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000 Hi, everybody. Thank you for having us. Thank you. Kendra, can you just turn over? 15 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:58,000 Is that better? Okay. Okay. We are here representing the child and adolescent mental health 16 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:07,120 collaborative again here. We have gotten recent updates to our funding partners that greatly impacts 17 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:12,960 the operations, facilitations, and services, and supports that our collaborative offers to our 18 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:19,520 community. So we wanted to come forward in front of the town to give that update as we did not have 19 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:27,120 it back in September when we were here last time for our requests for funding. So this is just an update 20 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:33,200 again on the three funding partners that have previously provided funding for the child and adolescent 21 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:41,680 collaborative. The Bonnieville MD providing 25,000 in matching the towns 25,000 previously. 22 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,920 In September, we did request 50,000 if possible to increase the supports that we've been trying to 23 00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:57,680 provide over the almost 10 years now, which is amazing. So that's 50,000 still sets as the request that we 24 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:04,240 would hope to receive. And I will update you guys on what would that entail now that Alberta 25 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:12,880 Health Services also known now as recovery Alberta. Previously gave us 67,000 for our mental 26 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:21,360 health navigator position. So we can get to the next slide. So the recent update a few weeks ago that we 27 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:29,120 got from recovery Alberta is that they will be discontinuing all funding in terms of all 67,000 for that 28 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:34,160 position and the supports of their child mental health therapists to our Tuesday collaborative with 29 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:44,320 our clinical team. Unfortunately, they did state that we perform very well. Our numbers in providing 30 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:51,040 decreased emergency visits, primary care access, and supports to our families does very well. But at this 31 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:56,000 time, it doesn't meet the new mandate for recovery Alberta and the initiatives that they are providing 32 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:03,840 support for. Those exact mandates were not given to us on why it doesn't meet. Through a few 33 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:09,760 conversations, it does look like that we don't fall necessarily under an addiction's bracket for them right 34 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,680 now. Although we do provide some of our adolescent support around addictions if they have them because it 35 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:22,080 is often a core morbidity of a diagnoses of the other ADHD anxiety and depression that we do assess 36 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:28,880 and monitor and provide support for. So that funding will cease to exist as of March 31st of 37 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:36,320 this year of 2025. So that leaves us with essentially our mental health navigator position with no 38 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:43,760 funding to continue. At that time that we were updated, we did request a extension for at least time 39 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:50,240 for us to figure out a new financial plan and just as of last week we were informed that that was also 40 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:55,840 declined. They are trying to work with a few different alternative ways for us to connect our, 41 00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:01,920 we have a case load of 70 families right now that are accessing supports from us. And so we are trying 42 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:07,840 to work with them if they have any alternative routes to getting these families access and support at 43 00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:14,640 the level of a physician monitoring medication treatment and therapeutic goals that that mandates 44 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:22,240 through our collaborative. And so again, that full 67,000 is allocated usually for a mental 45 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:30,640 health navigator position. If you can get to the next slide, these are just some of the jobs and 46 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,520 duties of that position. We wanted to give you guys full transparency on what that position holds and what 47 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:42,640 that funding entails. And so that community navigation piece in that they don't have to be 48 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:48,960 connected referred to the clinical team. The navigator also is a community resource in navigating 49 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:54,400 families that aren't connected to the supports that they mean at a primary care lens, whether that 50 00:05:54,400 --> 00:06:00,080 be in schools, whether that be through community agencies or just directly self ask questions about 51 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:08,560 the program itself about mental health itself and what that can tell. That position also deals with all 52 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:14,480 of our referral coordination, referral intake, operations and management of that assessment clinic, 53 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:21,840 administration of the clinic schedule. Like I mentioned, we hold 70 families, so there is follow-up care, 54 00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:28,240 discharge care when we discharge, that all is monitored and managed by the navigator at this time. 55 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,920 And then the other parts of obviously the community building of building relationships, building awareness 56 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:40,160 education tools to our schools, to our community members and to other agencies in our community and 57 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:49,840 surrounding communities. You can get to the next page. So what we are here today is to request 58 00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:55,360 so we have broken down, so we will basically not have that funding from recovery Alberta from April 59 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:02,960 to the next fiscal year of 26. But what we are asking of the town right now and also asking of the 60 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:08,880 MD to match is to supplement the funding from April to at least December so that we can either, 61 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:14,160 sorry, either apply for more grants, find other funding sources and just give us some time to try and 62 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:21,520 figure out how to keep this collaborative effective and operating. So our ask is an additional 25,000 on 63 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:27,760 top of the 50 that we requested and that we would also request the same 25,000 from the MD to supplement 64 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:34,800 to get us through to April to December of 2025, which doesn't get us our full fiscal year, but at least 65 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:41,200 it gives us enough time to apply for further funding. We are already on that road. We have already applied 66 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:47,040 for the child and mental fund, the federal grant that just came out at the end of 2024. We have sent an 67 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,520 application for that. We are in conversations with the Bonneville Health Foundation, Covenant Health, 68 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,680 and also applications for other local business support or local support in terms of 69 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:05,280 CNRL, Sonobes, those bigger business agencies. So we are also trying to do our best at not putting again 70 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:10,560 this all on our town and our MD for that support. But at this time, we were left with a two month, 71 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:16,880 basically, turnaround to try and secure providing supports for these families and for the community 72 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:22,720 in the mental health that it provides. The biggest thing that I don't know that recovery 73 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:28,800 Alberta maybe took into play is the child and adolescent mental collaborative is now the reason 74 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,280 that all of our Bonneville physicians that is our process of getting mental health supports for 75 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:39,760 children and adolescents around 16 to 17 because we don't have a pediatrician in the area because we 76 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:45,840 don't have child psychiatry that are accepting new patients, all of our Bonneville physicians that 77 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,720 follow with the Bonneville Medical Clinic use our clinic as triage to get their support for 78 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:56,160 psychiatry for their kids. So it's not just impacting the specific area that we provide. It's actually 79 00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:01,360 affecting our entire Bonneville Medical Clinic and referral to children getting assessed for ADHD anxiety 80 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:09,200 and depression. So we are in a little bit of a bind in that but I also wanted you guys to know we are 81 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:14,880 avidly seeking where we can whether that's small thousand dollar donations, sponsorships, 82 00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:24,000 all the way up to bigger 20s, 30s, 40,000 as well. So that's where we land today with our update from 83 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:32,160 our recovery Alberta. Questions for you? Thank you. Thanks for the update. I'll open it up to my council 84 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:39,600 first to see if there's any questions or comments. Elsa Johnson? You know I was going to add some 85 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:47,200 questions. Thanks for coming in and giving the presentation. Just curious on how the discussions are 86 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:55,600 going with covenant health is possibly partnering up. So we had a conversation with one of the representatives 87 00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:02,000 from covenant health just between the Christmas break. It was left in her hands to kind of go up 88 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,400 a covenant chain to see if there was possibility of a funding opportunity that covenant health may 89 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:12,960 take over that recovery Alberta funding as our hospital is covenant health. We have not heard from 90 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:18,720 Brenda Poole on any updates on that as of this time. Okay. I'm curious did you guys have 91 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:24,480 managed to have your meeting with Emily Syr? We're just trying to accommodate the schedules around 92 00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:32,080 our physician lead, which is a two to three months turn around in terms of her schedule. So 93 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,160 we are just in the mix of trying to make sure that we can have the right representatives to have that 94 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,560 conversation with. Yeah that's important to get in front of them because he's going to be the big one 95 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:51,760 advocating in the lead tree you guys. All right. And I think that was a voted. Thank you. Thank you. 96 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:57,040 Any other questions or comments? Thanks Madam Mayor. Thank you for your presentation guys. 97 00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:09,120 So how long is H.S. supported this position? Since 2016. 2016 so outch. And do they have any way of 98 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,840 are they talked to you at all about replacing or how are you going to replace this? So they do not 99 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,960 have a replacement plan. They're currently trying to help us get access to maybe another 100 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:26,400 there's not another organization but another way to get families assessed. So they have brought out 101 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:32,480 Fort McMurray and Graham Prairie in terms of their psychiatric child program. As you guys know that 102 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:38,320 is a four hour and seven hour drive for our families and not the most realistic for primary care that 103 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:43,200 we follow up with our families, especially if they're on pharmaceutical treatment every six to eight weeks. 104 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:51,680 I know same Paul has a division. So the same Paul has an adult psychiatric division and so 105 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:58,720 there was a psychiatrist that was willing to take later teens. So 16 and above. But he is currently 106 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:05,600 not accepting any new patients at this time. So nothing in Cole Lake as well, right? No. So maybe Madam Mayor 107 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:12,560 maybe Nagel can maybe have a look at this because if it's a whole region, yeah, right, that maybe we can 108 00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:18,960 do something there and try and help this situation because if it's not in this region anywhere, 109 00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:26,080 pretty hits Nagel pretty good then. Yeah, child psychiatry for at least primary care providers in 110 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:33,440 our area, their option is to refer to a program called tele psychiatry. That is a referral consultation 111 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:39,440 with there's two psychiatrists that deal with the Norse own and it is consultation. So after that 112 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:44,080 assessment when they meet with them, it is virtual. They give their recommendations on what they 113 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:50,240 see as treatment but then it is on the referring physician to deal with those treatment goals whether 114 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:56,400 that be pharmaceuticals or therapy. It is the mandate of that physician to follow up with that family. 115 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:05,120 Most of I will say around 40% of our current case loader unattached patients. So that leaves our walk in 116 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:11,120 physicians or emerge physicians to be managing or prescribing those medications which they might as well 117 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,360 be having them as their private practice because they need to be responsible for the medication 118 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:21,200 that they're prescribing. This seems to be happening more and more where miscellaneous are getting 119 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:28,720 downloaded over and over and over again and it hurts every municipality in all of Alberta. 120 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:35,440 I'm hoping that HS I know they're going through a big of people right now so maybe it'll come out in the 121 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:42,320 wash but it's tough for us, you know, as a municipality as well. Thank you, though, guys. Thank you. 122 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,280 Yes, thank you, Madam Mayor. Thank you for an excellent presentation for all the work you do in our 123 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:57,680 community. I'm just not a curiosity on your memo that was sent to us. You are applying for a $500,000 124 00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:04,480 grant over four years for mental health initiatives and it says in there that you would this would allow 125 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:10,480 you to expand your services. Can you just touch base on what what areas and how you would expand please? 126 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:16,080 Yes. Yeah, so that is the grant that I was talking about that we sent the application for at the end of January. 127 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:22,480 So it is the child and mental health fund that was given a federal grant that was open for application at the end of 128 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:31,040 last year. So our plan is so that is 500,000 for four years for every fiscal year and the plan is actually 129 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,840 to diversify what is already existing within that collaborative team but actually appointing either 130 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:42,000 a nurse practitioner or physician lead. We would hope a psychiatrist but again it depends on what's available 131 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:49,120 within our rural stretch. That would also be two psychologists because another program that is the PCN 132 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:55,120 combined with Northern Light School Division and providing two psychologists and a mental health 133 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,120 nurse and navigator that go into Northern Lights and provide therapy. That 134 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:26,000 That program will also end in June. So, we lose those psychologists for Northern Lights. So, the hope in the goal is that we can provide this encompassed team of either a physician and nurse practitioner as a psychiatrist, two psychologists, a social worker, mental health navigator, a health coach, in a full encompassing holistic team. That would actually provide supports for not just bodyval, but our surrounding area and not just a certain school division. 135 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:34,000 All of the surrounding school divisions, the hope would it be, it would go all the way to Colt Lake. Same Paul, Glendon, lacklubish, if we could. 136 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:45,000 Pending on, it doesn't just then the physicians that we hold now with the collaborative, the criteria is that they're at least attending vulnerable medical clinic as their primary medical home base. 137 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:54,000 This team would allow us to remove some of that barrier to that bigger team so that we could provide more holistic supports for the entire area. 138 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,000 Perfect, thank you. 139 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,000 Thank you. Any other questions? 140 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:11,000 Okay, can you, I know you come as a delegation before and talk to us a lot about the mental health collaborative initiative as a whole. 141 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:18,000 So, can you just break it down? So, how? This is just one position within the collaborative. 142 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:30,000 A one point here talking about, we had access revenue due to COVID. We had a psychologist or is that disposition or so the revenue that was accumulated over COVID. 143 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:35,000 We allocated to a social worker position. Who's our family wellness advisor. 144 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:47,000 So, that was a support that we had that access funding. We saw a need in connecting our parents to natural supports and strategies and family or parenting strategies before we see with the clinical team. 145 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:56,000 That funding is that for the navigator position. So, without further funding we potentially lose that social work position. 146 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:02,000 So, so that is something separate. So, we we will be losing that the social worker. 147 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:11,000 So, we don't have a funding because of my drop in FTE coming back. We can potentially have her at a part time position. 148 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:20,000 But, again, we wouldn't allocate any business decisions until we know kind of where we are going to be at. I believe. 149 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:27,000 Kelly, do you know the exact number that we operate on? Is it 100? 150 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:35,000 Sorry, I just want to make sure my numbers are accurate for you on a total operations. 151 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:41,000 And where we go annually. Like, this year was 140, but we've given the law off of the project. 152 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:57,000 Yeah. And so, the hope when we hired that social work position is that we would receive more funding eventually because we have not received an increase in any of our funding since 2016. 153 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:14,000 So, the goal was that we would hopefully or either split both of these roles enough to accommodate the funding that we did have to still be able to provide the support or try and accumulate all of the roles within one position if we had to. 154 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:20,000 So, the mental health collaborative initiative will continue. 155 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,000 It's just with without a mental health navigator. 156 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:30,000 What am I understanding? You know, wouldn't continue because the navigator is the standard to it all. 157 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,000 Okay, yeah, I'm trying to understand. 158 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,000 Yeah, okay. 159 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:44,000 So, the town and the MD funding that was previously given is usually been to operational costs, never to roles of the navigator or the social worker. 160 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:52,000 Unless there was revenue from our COVID year when we moved basically virtual world and didn't need the rent and things like that. 161 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,000 Sorry. 162 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000 Okay, and then just another piece for clarification. 163 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:01,000 So, you've already taken, you're asking for an increase of 25,000. 164 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:09,000 Is that taking into consideration that we've already allocated 50,000 so you're asking 25 on top of that to top you up to 75. 165 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:21,000 We're asking for 75 to basically take what a chess was giving splitting it between town and MD to supplement us to at least December so that we can have a plan. 166 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,000 Financial aid to move forward. 167 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,000 Can you be asking sorry, so you'll be asking the MD for 25 as well. 168 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,000 Yeah, on top of there already 25 that they give so we'd be asking them for 50. 169 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,000 Yeah, okay. 170 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,000 Okay, thank you. 171 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,000 That's very, it applies a lot for me. 172 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,000 Yeah, it's, it's really too bad to hear that. 173 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:47,000 I really wanted to fight just even for the social worker and to hear that we have to now advocate and fight just for the navigator position. 174 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:53,000 That's a huge impact for our, you know, our community and our region and many families. 175 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,000 That's, that's a lot. 176 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,000 I can tell that you're passionate about it and it's affecting you guys a lot. 177 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,000 So thanks for taking the time and answering our questions this evening. 178 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,000 I think we'll put our heads together on how we can advocate and have a discussion. 179 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,000 Hopefully it our next meeting on whether we can support that or not. 180 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,000 Thank you. 181 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,000 Thank you. 182 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,000 Thank you, everybody. 183 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,000 Thank you. 184 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,000 Thank you. 185 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,000 Okay. 186 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,000 Next we have. 187 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,000 Okay. 188 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,000 All right. 189 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,000 By law, multi unit housing incentive. 190 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,000 Thank you, Madam Mayor. 191 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:39,000 Council at the January 28th meeting provided first reading to by law number 158925. 192 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000 The multi unit housing incentive grant by law. 193 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:49,000 The purpose of this by law is to provide a grant to encourage the development of new multi unit residential housing within the town. 194 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:58,000 By law number 1589-25 provides reimbursement grant of $10,000 for each new dwelling unit constructed to a maximum of 50 units. 195 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:04,000 The units would consist of new developments with two or more dwellings that are constructed on R3 or R4 zone property. 196 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:11,000 The grant would be provided to the owner once the construction is complete and the occupancy permit has been issued with no deficiencies. 197 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:17,000 The timeline for completion of the project is 24 months from the date the building or development permit has been issued. 198 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:23,000 This by law does have an interim of December 31st, 2025 and the program would be reviewed annually during budget season. 199 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:29,000 The total cost of the program will add an additional $500,000 to the 25 operating budget. 200 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:34,000 If approved and the program is 100%, 100% subscribed. 201 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:44,000 Funding would be allocated from the general operating reserve, which would increase the reserve transfer required to balance the budget to $1,278,775. 202 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:51,000 Administration is recommending that council provides second and third reading to by law number 1589-25. 203 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,000 Thank you. Any questions for administration on this by law? 204 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000 How's our question? 205 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,000 Thanks Madam Mayor. 206 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:14,000 I remember us talking about this at governance priorities and we had some reservations about an apartment coming in and taking all the $500,000 in one apartment. 207 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:20,000 And so I see that with this by law that can happen because our four is where apartments can be built. 208 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:39,000 So might not happen, but I just want us to to realize that if somebody comes in and builds an apartment, everybody else, all the smaller people who may be want to build a duplex or a fourplex or an eightplex are going to get shut out in this. 209 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:47,000 It's first come for service. So that now I realize we can also add to this if we want to. 210 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:52,000 So we can we initially started with a million dollars on this, decided to go down the 500,000. 211 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000 See how it went and go from there. 212 00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:00,000 But in this by law the way I read it unless administration think I'm incorrect. 213 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:06,000 I can see that if an apartment building want to come in, there goes our 500,000. 214 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:13,000 If they have 50 to 50 units. So just something to think about as we go forward with this. 215 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,000 Thank you. 216 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:21,000 Question any other questions or comments? 217 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:29,000 Are you okay with the by law then going through like that as it is now with the permanent buildings? 218 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:34,000 I mean I hear what you're saying. I don't really recall the conversation. 219 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,000 But I'm not saying you're just want to know. 220 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:42,000 We'd like to have at least a second reading on this. 221 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,000 Well, I won't be voting for it because of that. 222 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:53,000 I would like to see our builders that are around here have a shot at this money not just from some. 223 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,000 Some outside entity because that will most likely be an outside entity. 224 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,000 That's going to be building an apartment building. 225 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,000 Don't be one of our smaller businesses around here. 226 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:09,000 So I, as it sits now, I will not be voting for this. 227 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:15,000 I would like to see it go back and then come back to us at the next. 228 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,000 Next meeting. 229 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,000 Would be my. 230 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,000 Okay. 231 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,000 Councilor Lange. 232 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,000 Thank you Madam Mayor. 233 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,000 It's to comment to Councillor Kushner. 234 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:35,000 So I understand and I do remember us talking about the apartment side. 235 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:40,000 The way the way that I'm looking at it is. 236 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:49,000 We haven't we have a lack of rentable places in Bonnieville right now and that includes apartments. 237 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:54,000 And the price has been driven up in our apartments currently because of the lack of. 238 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:59,000 availability. 239 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,000 The way I look at it is this this grant is to spur development. 240 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:13,000 If we can spur someone to build a 50 unit apartment to me that hate great and like you said we can go back and say hey if you know we're going to top this up because we had so much success. 241 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:23,000 I mean if they were to take the $500,000 I can't imagine the cost of building a 50 unit complex right now you're looking at millions of millions of dollars. 242 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:34,000 So we're going to be part of what I understand we put these incentives together for we're to you know spur development obviously and then as well you know we're going to be. 243 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:46,000 Collecting taxes on these properties for years and years to come so I understand what you're saying I think if someone wants to invest in our community that's a major investment to make by building something like that. 244 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000 I'm not opposed to it. 245 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:57,000 I would just say like if if we do successfully have someone that in the one case scenario that would take up all 50 units. 246 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:07,000 And obviously the administration could bring this back to us and say hey guys we're having so much success with this incentive program do we want we have a few more applications for. 247 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:14,000 Orplexes or townhouses but what do you guys think so I'd rather go that way myself but just my comments. 248 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:20,000 Thanks that very valid point council language. 249 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:31,000 Through the administration how easy is that to do like let's say somebody came in and wanted to build a and part of building great how easy it is for us to to top that up then. 250 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:38,000 It would have to come back to council as a request for decision to let you guys know that the program was fully subscribed with the administration administration. 251 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:45,000 Researching we're to forget additional funds whether it's from a reserve or another program that's not being subscribed to. 252 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,000 But definitely just bring it back for us for decision. 253 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:58,000 Wouldn't be like a six month thing it would be like one meeting type thing is that correct could be well we yes because it would just be reallocating money the bylaws already been drafted so if this happens in 2025. 254 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:07,000 Then we could just reallocate money in 2025 to make it go further we would do a new bylaw for 2026 if the program was to go beyond that year. 255 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,000 Okay I'm okay with that. 256 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,000 Yeah yeah I like that too okay. 257 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,000 Okay good we're looking for a decision council language. 258 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:20,000 If everyone's all right with that and then I will. 259 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:27,000 Move the council right second reading to bylon number 1589-25. 260 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,000 Okay thank you all in favor. 261 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,000 There you. 262 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,000 All right we'll be looking also for third reading. 263 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,000 Are you going to finally answer Johnson. 264 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:45,000 I'll provide third reading for bylon number 1589-25 multi-hosing incentive grant bylaw. 265 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,000 All in favor. 266 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,000 Okay that bylaws carried thank you. 267 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:55,000 Next bylaw loan bylaw for the Clayton Bellamy Foundation for the Arts. 268 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,000 Thank you Madam Mayor. 269 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:08,000 At the January 28 council meeting Clayton Bellamy Foundation came as a delegation to request council's consideration to guarantee a loan to complete the construction of the Strathcona Performing Arts Center. 270 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:17,000 The amount required to complete the project is estimated to be 1.1 million and the foundation has secured a loan from the Northern Lights school division in the amount of 300,000. 271 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,000 Leaving an $800,000 shortfall. 272 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:25,000 After reviewing the request the direction from council was rather than a loan guarantee. 273 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:30,000 We draft a loan bylaw whereby the town lends the funds to the foundation to complete the project. 274 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:37,000 This could include different terms than was outlined in the loan guarantee term sheet which was set for demand loan for a one-year term. 275 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:46,000 As per the MGA Section 264-2, I mean this palliative may lend money to a non-profit organization if the council considers the money loan will be used for the purpose 276 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,000 of the general public. 277 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:59,000 Attached is bylaw number 1591-25, a bylaw to provide the foundation a loan of up to $800,000 for the purpose of completing the construction of the Performing Arts Center. 278 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:04,000 The bylaw as drafted includes all of the requirements of Section 265-2 of the MGA. 279 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:11,000 As per the MGA the bylaw states that the amount of money to be loaned is up to $800,000 and is for the purpose of completing the construction. 280 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,000 The minimum rate of interest is 5% per annum with a term of three years. 281 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:22,000 Administration is suggesting this term as the foundation does not know the status of the CFEP grant and it will allow time for further fundraising. 282 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:27,000 Responsorship's and annual gallas without having to create another bylaw. 283 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:36,000 And it does include monthly payments for the interest portion of the loan as well as additional payments on the loan with them should the foundation receive extra money. 284 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:43,000 The source of the money to be loaned is from the general capital reserve with all payments of interest and principle being reallocated back to the reserve when received. 285 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:53,000 As this bylaw is being passed on to part 8 of the MGA it is subject to the advertising requirements of Section 606 and the petition requirements of Section 231-3. 286 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:59,000 Administration is recommending that council provide first reading to bylaw number 1591-25. 287 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,160 Thank you. All open it up for questions or comments. 288 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:14,880 Councillor Blanchett. Thank you Madam Mayor, through good administration. What I didn't see in the loan agreement was any sort of security on this loan. 289 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:29,840 Can you provide clarity on that, please? Yes, there is no security for this loan as any of the improvements in the performing arts center would be under the lease agreement that they have with BCHS, so they would hold the assets. 290 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:35,840 And had we run any other sort of security by the foundation? 291 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:53,120 We did ask if they would be willing to do a personal guarantee on the loan. The response back was that due to the time commitment that they put into the project already, the board members, as well as some of the financial implications that they've had and the personal finances, because of those time commitments, they were unwilling at this time to provide a personal guarantee. 292 00:30:54,120 --> 00:31:07,120 And just one more question, can you just walk us through the process if we provide first reading to this tonight? And we were wanting to make any changes, would it have to be re-advertised then? 293 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:17,120 Depending on the changes, it may have to be re-advertised, so any changes you're thinking should probably be included tonight with the amendment and then first reading provided so they can be advertised. 294 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:25,120 Because it'll take up until the next three weeks for advertising and then this bylaw wouldn't come back for second at their reading until March 25th. 295 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,120 Okay, thank you. 296 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,120 Any other questions? Councillor Schurn? 297 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,120 Yes, thank you, Madam Mayor, through to administration. 298 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:42,120 First of all, I just want to say that this is a project that we need in our community. It's so important that I've been involved in theater and the fine arts since I was in high school. 299 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:46,120 So to have something like this in our community is a bonus. 300 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:56,120 Having said that, this is quite a quite a liability for us as a town. 301 00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:03,120 I know administration has just mentioned that they're not willing to do any type of security agreement. 302 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:15,120 But even if it was a small one, I'm not asking for the full 800,000, but if there would be some initiative from there and just to show that they're all in it as well, that's just my comments. 303 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:25,120 Moving on, are we going to have a copy of the insurance as well if this does go through? 304 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,120 The property insurance? 305 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:28,120 Yes. 306 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,120 It can be requested if that's. 307 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:34,120 Yeah, if we're holding the loan, I think we should it would be prudent for us to have a copy of that. 308 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:41,120 And then as excellent contract here that you have written up, there's a lot of highlights. 309 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,120 Just one I want to ask, we're under number five. 310 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:52,120 It says the occurrence of any one of the following shall constitute an event of default for the purposes of this loan agreement. 311 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,120 So if they go and default, there's under number six. 312 00:32:55,120 --> 00:33:03,120 It says the foundation agrees to promptly inform the town in writing of any default that if they can't make their payment. 313 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:09,120 If all these conditions are then not met and they do go into default, what happens then? 314 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:17,120 This I couldn't really see or it's not clear in there as to what what the next steps would be. 315 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,120 It would be legal proceedings. 316 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,120 Okay, thank you. 317 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,120 Thanks. 318 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,120 Sounds for a language. 319 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,120 Thank you Madam Mayor. 320 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,120 One question through to the administration. 321 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:33,120 So in how you haven't written up. 322 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:38,120 We have here that the loan would be up to 800,000 now. 323 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:44,120 If that number changes because of the we find out what happens with their CFEP grant. 324 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:48,120 Is that something like walk me through. 325 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,120 How does that get communicated? 326 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,120 So like obviously the loan by us has up to. 327 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:58,120 If they receive the the 500,000 from CFEP and they're only need of 300,000. 328 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:04,120 Is that a change it has to be made on the loan by law or is that something that we can just roll with. 329 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,120 It doesn't have to be changes. 330 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,120 It's up to 800,000. 331 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:12,120 They would provide us with their invoices the documentation that we request. 332 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:21,120 If they get the CFEP funding and they can pay 500,000 of the outstanding progress claims then that means probably they would bring less to us. 333 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:25,120 So it could only be the 300,000 and that's what they would have to pay back. 334 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,120 Okay, thank you. 335 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,120 I guess just a comment. 336 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,120 I know this one has been a lot of conversation around our table and as well as. 337 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:41,120 In the community with obviously it's a project since the. 338 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,120 Emolition of the Lyle Victor Albert Center. 339 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:48,120 The town really has not had a you know a small venue that's strictly dedicated to the arts. 340 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,120 We have a very busy centennial center that gets. 341 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:57,120 Used very very frequently we know how busy that is and it's something. 342 00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:02,120 Obviously we know that is is needed and we've gone back and forth with the foundation multiple times. 343 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,120 They've come in for requests. 344 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:11,120 On three different occasions and so it's on the finish line is so close. 345 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:15,120 And my thought process on this is. 346 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:21,120 I do believe that the foundation has done a good job of surrounding themselves with some. 347 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:29,120 Business minded people that's been a change you know seeing some of our community leaders that are now on their board that are helping them. 348 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,120 Try to get to the finish line on this. 349 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,120 And as well. 350 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:42,120 I know there's a large risk as far as the unsecured nature of the loan, but I think. 351 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:51,120 My opinion I'd like to see us pass first reading and by the time second reading would be coming about we would know the nature of that sea. 352 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:59,120 And that could really push us I think one way or the other, but I would like to see us support this first reading tonight. 353 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:05,120 And see how it goes because we all know that this is a very important project in our community. 354 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,120 Thank you. 355 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:07,120 Excellent. Thank you. 356 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,120 Councillor Johnson. 357 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,120 Through to administration. 358 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:15,120 So we have it as a three year loan currently. 359 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:22,120 If they needed an extension at the end of three years that they weren't didn't quite have it quite paid. 360 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:27,120 Is it easy to just extend it or will we have to rewrite the whole by law? 361 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,120 We would have to bring back a by law. 362 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,120 Okay. 363 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,120 I just is just me thinking out loud here. 364 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:41,120 They have a one year demand loan for the 300,000 that they have to pay off to the bank. 365 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,120 Our loan would be a three year loan. 366 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:52,120 So they have basically two loans to start paying right in that first year and it would really leave them only two years to pay it off. 367 00:36:52,120 --> 00:37:03,120 I'd like to see them give them every opportunity for success and maybe move it to four years so they would have a good three years just in case. 368 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:10,120 And the only reason I'm saying that is bringing this back to rewrite a by law go through all the steps again. 369 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,120 You're talking legal fees. 370 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:18,120 You're talking labor from our staff to redo everything again and go through the whole process. 371 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:29,120 So it's just to streamline it a little bit just I'm not talking going any more than four years just just to make sure we give them that avenue for success. 372 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:35,120 And just a little further on I agree with a lot of the comments that. 373 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:41,120 The counselors have brought up here tonight and I echoed some of those to the committee last week. 374 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:45,120 I did a lot of thinking over this last few days. 375 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,120 The first call was the first. 376 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:59,120 The theater was named after L. Victor Albert playwright produced all over Canada North America Europe and down in Australia his plays were produced. 377 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:04,120 He inspired them to build a stage and get this going. 378 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,120 We have Mike Plum. 379 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:16,120 Ernie Baselattis who is in the band with him since high school Clayton Bellamy Brett Kissel all shared that stage local guys. 380 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:21,120 Juno winners, nominees all of that. 381 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:30,120 They were inspired by that stage and they've proudly carried they were from the Lakeland they're from Bonnieville further. 382 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:36,120 I had people that were living here that moved on to some great things that I use that stage George Canyon. 383 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:45,120 Classical guitarist Don Ross, which a lot of people aren't familiar with him he performed at home a jam at the very first opening. 384 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:46,120 His first. 385 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:52,120 His first album was called Kihuin he taught old a Kihuin school and he performed that night. 386 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,120 I've never seen anybody play a ten string guitar like he did. 387 00:38:56,120 --> 00:39:04,120 And one of his albums went on to be a top ten billboard hit on their new age chart. 388 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,120 Add into that. 389 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:09,120 We have a number of community members who've used that stage over the years. 390 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,120 Late former counselor, Claude LeBlanc. 391 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:18,120 Rosemary Cameron, Randy Pitlowski, Guidamers, Darren Horne, Keith Johnson Allen, 392 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:23,120 Curtis Jolly Art Lairman, Shane Lairman, Kevin Downshot. 393 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:32,120 These are guys that I just popped into my head that were part of Bonnieville live Bonnieville country. 394 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:47,120 I just I needed to get that out to say, hey, how important this has been to our community, how much it's been used and a lot of these jam sessions things that were done were done with youth 395 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:52,120 and older people on the stage learning and having a good time. 396 00:39:52,120 --> 00:40:03,120 And for the youth that got to use that stage myself included, it gave you the confidence to get up there in front of people and for public speaking. 397 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:07,120 And all of that is not measurable in dollars. 398 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:15,120 It is measurable in the confidence in what people have given back to our communities, which a lot of these people are very familiar names. 399 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:20,120 So I'm in support of this. I know it's a risk. 400 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:27,120 We've done it for the Bonnieville Pontiacs in the past, the previous council gave them a non-secured loan. 401 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:35,120 We went through this at the C2 with the Gen Mackay C. Alhol. We were $300,000 short and the MD stepped up and gave a loan for that. 402 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:42,120 So we could get the whole project done because the longer a project sits, the longer you wait, the more it's going to cost. 403 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:53,120 So sorry for the long winded thing, but I had to get that out because these are the things that aren't easily quantified by dollars. 404 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,120 So I am in support. Thank you. 405 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,120 Thank you very much. Councilor Kushner. 406 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,120 Thanks, Madam Mayor. Councilor Johnson you had me at holo. 407 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:15,120 No. I agree with you 100%. I also agree with council Shirun, the unsecured part is sticky. 408 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:20,120 I don't know if we can do this because they have the other demand loan of $300,000. 409 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:27,120 But I'd like to see some language in here that would say that the C-thep grant would go to paying loan, whatever the loan is. 410 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:33,120 And it's not going towards anything else other than paying either that loan or our loan. 411 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:39,120 That way we can bring down that unssecured thing is quickly as possible. 412 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:45,120 So if they get $500,000 on that C-thep for this year or next year or the year after, they could do that. 413 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,120 I don't know if that's in here or not through to administration. 414 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,120 It's not in here. It was asked if it could be added. 415 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:57,120 C-thep would have been for the capital project. So it would have to go towards capital construction costs. 416 00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:01,120 We just can't add that it absolutely has to be put in hours or theirs. 417 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:08,120 So it just says the payments will be made back through sponsorship grants and other money that they get. 418 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:13,120 Okay. Just trying to, you know, we've got a $100,000 year sitting out there. 419 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:17,120 We need to get that finished. I agree with you a thousand percent. 420 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:22,120 Everything you said is true, Councillor Johnson. I would love to see it get finished for sure. 421 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:27,120 I think it's badly needed. It will bring revenue into this town as well. 422 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:32,120 So I'm behind the project. I am a little scared. Like everybody else sitting at this table. 423 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:38,120 It's unssecured, but you made good points that we've done this in the past as well as the council's done that. 424 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:39,120 So. 425 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:40,120 Thanks. 426 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:41,120 Thank you. 427 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,120 All right. Any other comments or questions? 428 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:49,120 I just want to come back to Councillor Schurn. You just made mention of the insurance. 429 00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:55,120 And I know Councillor Blanchetta asked, you know, if we have to make any changes to the by-law, does it have to come back? 430 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,120 So I just want to make sure we're clear. 431 00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:03,120 Is that a condition? Is that something you want to see or do you want us? 432 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:07,120 Because I am in favor of this. I agree with everybody around the table. 433 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:17,120 I do sit on the board of a financial institution and I also sit on community futures and we've been doing loans for I've been, you know, at the table. 434 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:21,120 I'm doing loans for almost nine years now. So I totally get the secured part. 435 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:25,120 But I do believe this is good risk for the betterment of our community. 436 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,120 So I'm in favor. I don't need to reiterate what everybody said. 437 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:34,120 But I do also understand that we want to make sure that the conditions are clearly outlined. 438 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:42,120 Okay, if this goes through for it to come back and then for us to take any longer. So I just want to clarify on that. 439 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:49,120 No, absolutely. Again, good discussion all around the table and a lot of support for this worthwhile cause. 440 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:54,120 It does say in there that they have to have insurance. So if they provide us a copy, that would be. 441 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:55,120 You're okay. 442 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:56,120 I'm okay with that. 443 00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,120 I just want to make sure we don't. 444 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,120 Okay. So if there's not anything new to add to the conversation. 445 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,120 I'm looking for a motion and. 446 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,120 Sorry, did the administration. 447 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,120 I was just going to ask, did you want it with the motion? 448 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:13,120 Did you want to amend it as per Councillor Johnson suggestion to a four-year term? 449 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,120 Right. That's what I was going to ask before in the motion. 450 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:21,120 If you guys agree with that or not, I just want to give them every chance for success. 451 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:30,120 Three years might be a little short with having two loans to have to pay in that first year and two, you know, I don't know. 452 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:38,120 I agree 100% let's set them up for success. Let's don't set them up for failure. 100% agree with you. 453 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:39,120 Council. 454 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:43,120 And at the end of the day, it's less work for administration if we have to redo a by law. 455 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:49,120 And it saves us money there. 456 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,120 Councillor Blanche. 457 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:57,120 I'm going to move first reading a by law number 1591-25. 458 00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,120 I have Clinton Bellamy Foundation for the Arts loan by law. 459 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:12,000 All in favour?

533 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:10,000 No, I'm prepared to make a motion that council approve the donation of up to $2,500 to the. 534 00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,000 I'm not really sure if the donation for change organization. 535 00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,000 And again, with this mental health, I just attended an. 536 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:23,000 An ag society conference and so much mental health out there and especially with the farming community. 537 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:28,000 We had a couple of great speakers and it's just these are these are rough times for some people. 538 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:35,000 So, you know, like the previous counselors mentioned, even if we touch if one or two get touched and we save them. 539 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:42,000 I have 100 dollars is worth it. So, on behalf, I, I make that recommendation. 540 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,000 Councillor Cuisher. 541 00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:45,000 Yeah. 542 00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:50,000 Just to clarify the the motion, you set up to $2,500 are you taken the up to out. 543 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,000 Is $2,500? 544 00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:56,000 It says up to $2,500 in the motion. 545 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,000 Yeah, but you don't have to go with that recommendation. 546 00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:07,520 is, is your motion saying a donation in the amount of $2,500 or up to $2,500 and who's going to make that decision? 547 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:14,600 Okay, I'll make it up. I'll make it $2,500 donation. I will recommend. 548 00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:21,320 Councillor Lankridge. Thank you, Madam Mayor. Just a clarification and third-hood administration. 549 00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:28,520 So the recommendation that you guys have here is up to. And in the letter, it states that they 550 00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:35,720 want to use to cover some of the rental costs of the C2. Now, is the reason why you have up to 551 00:52:35,720 --> 00:52:40,120 because whatever the rental costs come back at, is that what we're going to cover, I'm just 552 00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:45,080 kind of confused on where the ask is coming from. Yeah, the reason for the recommendation is because 553 00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:50,920 administration can approve up to $1,500. So Council can approve anything over that. So we put up to 554 00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:56,360 $2,500 if you wanted to go with a $1,500 as per the policy and the administration's approval or anything 555 00:52:56,360 --> 00:53:06,200 over and above that. Okay, thank you. Okay, so we have a motion on the floor. Okay, to donate 556 00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:13,640 $2,500. That's a rental of the facility. That's correct, Madam Mayor. Okay. All in favor? Okay. 557 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:22,840 Okay, committee reports will start with Councillor Kushner. Thanks, Madam Mayor. So I'm going to go back 558 00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:30,840 in time here a little bit. January 16th had to be our a meeting, January 21st, governance priorities 559 00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:45,480 meeting, the 20th second, the like a meeting, 23rd, ICC meeting here at Council, just to get all our 560 00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:55,240 ducks in a row. January 24th we had Bill Rogers retirement. Then the 26th, 27th, and 28th, we went 561 00:53:55,240 --> 00:54:03,640 to the ICC, which is the International Council of Shopping Centers. So on behalf of economic development, 562 00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:11,320 myself and Councillor Scheroen were there. And we met quite a few groups and I'll just name a few of 563 00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:18,840 them, the circle K, Redco, which is a land development company, Walmart, which they said were on the 564 00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:26,040 cusp of being having enough people. So that's encouraging because I'd really love to see the lots out 565 00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:31,000 by the highway there. So as soon as you get that, that one store in there, everything else is going to start 566 00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:42,360 pop up. Avenue living, which is multi-family housing incentives, home depot, MBIprehense, 567 00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:48,120 which is Mary Brown's chickens and fat bastard burritos, which is interesting name, but that's what it is. 568 00:54:50,120 --> 00:55:00,520 Patterson food group, sobis, as well, we met with them, rexal, medicine shops, which is another pharmacy, 569 00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:08,920 a redberry, which has burgling, Taco Bell, jersey mics, brands, choice properties.

And then 572 00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:34,760 MTY, which is a food group and Canadian franchise or operator. So we had a lot of groups we met with, 573 00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:42,920 very positive. So that was well, well attended, we really thought we're going to get a lot out of that. 574 00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:49,240 January 29th, we had a meeting just with Council, January 30th, 575 00:55:49,240 --> 00:55:58,040 Executive Design Workshop for downtown, I believe it was. February 3rd, Community Placing, February 6th, 576 00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:05,480 the Open House with Stanteck and the Lakeshore Drive Park concept plans. And then yesterday, 577 00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,280 Munich Court meeting. And that's all I have. 578 00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:19,960 Okay, January 29th, I had several FCS Association-related meetings.

The very six, I participated 583 00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:52,200 in an asset-based community development session with the Monica Wellness Coalition followed by the 584 00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:57,640 Public Open House for the Lakeshore Drive Community Recreation Plan. And then yesterday evening, I had an 585 00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:09,640 FPCA board meeting for me. Thank you. All right, so January 30th, I toured the new North Star 586 00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:17,320 building. They're very well set up there and they're well on their way to building. 587 00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:25,240 I think a new emergency management industry, I hope Council has had a chance and if you haven't yet, 588 00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:32,680 sound to go over and do a tour, we can arrange that. January 30th had the active downtown urban 589 00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:42,920 design workshop, January 31st. I've been having meetings through ABMA. We're, I'm creating, we are 590 00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:50,680 the Association, creating a partnership with the region out of Quebec, of region of municipalities, 591 00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:58,840 out of Montmagni. So, I'll be having more and more meetings with them as we develop a project 592 00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:05,720 between our two provinces. Then on the 31st, I did the ceremonial puk-drop part of me for the 86 cancer 593 00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:15,560 hockey game, where Reeve Kalinsky put me to work, selling 50-50s. I did not know that. I went 594 00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:21,240 to be doing the work, which was fine. I was proud to wear my junior-a-pony axe apron, as I walked 595 00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:31,240 around the Energy Center collecting money for cancer. Then February 11th, yes, also had another meeting 596 00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:41,480 with ABMA with this regional municipalities out of Quebec. On to my next slide. Thank you very much. 597 00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:46,760 I just need to, on the 15th of January, we had a Lakeland lodge and housing foundation meeting, 598 00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:52,440 and I reported that there would be no requisition, what I, what I, I misunderstood, and it should be 599 00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:59,640 noted that we are not requisitioning any more than what we did last year. Although the lodges have seen a 600 00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:05,000 steady increase in the occupancy rates, at both Bonnie lodge and co-lake lodge, although the increase 601 00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:10,280 in rental revenue has helped to offset the steady increasing cost of food, utilities, and costs of 602 00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:15,800 supplies, we still have a shortfall. So it is going to stay at 900,000 this year. 603 00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:23,240 On the 16th, I attended an Alberta Living Wage webinar, that was excellent. 21st governance in 604 00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:31,480 priorities, 22nd kickstand. On to 23rd, we had a coordination meeting for the ICSC. On the 24th, 605 00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:37,800 Bill Rogers retirement party. And from the 26th to the 28th, along with Councillor Kushner and Mark 606 00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:45,800 Labor attended the ICSC conference. I'm not going to go into detail what Councillor Kushner did, 607 00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:56,440 but this was, this was similar to not that I've done it, I speed dating conference. We met like 608 00:59:56,440 --> 01:00:00,600 every 45 minutes with somebody new. Western. 609 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:06,720 Canada is the place to be now. They want to invest their dollars in here. It's an unsaturated market. 610 01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:17,120 There's land. It's cheaper than in the cities. So everywhere we went, it was just amazing that the response we got from the developers. 611 01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:25,600 As well, the building incentives that we have passed were so favorable. Everybody said it was an aggressive approach. 612 01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:41,600 And they were very intrigued. Some of the developers are looking at, you know, some that are looking at some sort of a multi use housing on a top floor and perhaps businesses whatever at the bottom. 613 01:00:41,600 --> 01:01:03,600 So we've seen, we've had presentations from from every genre of different types of businesses. And like I said again, Alberta and Bonnieville are open for business further to that two developers that we had spoken to made trips on their own here and we have been scouting out the area. 614 01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:13,600 There are three others who are interested in March when it's a little bit warmer and nicer out and they want to have a common view of our community and see what we have to offer. 615 01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:26,600 Another thing that they don't realize is when we are in a remote area and this comes from, you know, we've all, you know, had kids in hockey or different sports or just going to different functions. 616 01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:42,600 We don't stick in our own community like it's nothing to drive an hour and a half to hours which is what really blew them away that we do travel and it's just because they don't have to in the big cities because it's everything is so close. 617 01:01:42,600 --> 01:02:03,600 So we brought a lot of light to some of these developers that live in the bigger centers that we've got everything here. So again this is the first time I attended it was it was just amazing like it was man they like the speed dating it was interesting and you're going to sit and talk to somebody. 618 01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:13,600 I believe it was moxies. I said like I told her that you know about the restaurant and stuff like that that my kids like whenever they go they'll go to one and they have to drive for it. 619 01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:29,600 But at first her response was no we'd never build there not even going to look at it after we told her about the driving and what we have here she could be a potential as well so like all these things just came from sitting on the couch besides the regular meetings that we had. 620 01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:52,600 St. Albert Sports Sports Flex. We co-coucitor co-coucitor spoke to Caterina Lopez from Kushman Wakefield Power Power River Center and carry on hunt FBM like so there were there were many developers that we talked to and I can honestly say totally positive comments at the end of the day. 621 01:02:52,600 --> 01:03:07,600 On the 29th I had the CAO Recruitment Review on the 30th Downtown Urban Design Project Open House on the 30th the Hacks Society AGM and congratulations to Cory Dowes who was our new president. 622 01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:21,600 February 6th I attended the Lake Short Open House on February 7th and 8th we had the Access ID conference in Hill was one of our keynote speakers and so was Jodi Carrington. 623 01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:34,600 It's they were they were both amazing and got everybody going and we sat in a zone for meeting which is the zone for our area and we have to come up or they have to come up with some type of website. 624 01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:43,600 Within an hour and a half of our community you could be doing something every weekend and day of the week there's just so much happening in our zone here so. 625 01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:50,600 We don't have to travel far so there's always something to do so and that's from my report. 626 01:03:51,600 --> 01:04:16,600 Alrighty short one for me on the 30th of February attended the economic development workshop on the downtown project on February 3rd the police committee on February 4th the library meeting and on February 6th I jumped over and checked out the open house at the Centales Center for the Lake Short Drive project. 627 01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:35,600 Alrighty so January 3rd of 30th I went to the downtown urban design project at the C2 February 4th we had a meeting with Johanna Center and February 6th I was over at the Lake Short Drive area concept plans at the C2 as well. 628 01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:37,600 That's it for me. 629 01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:39,600 Excellent. 630 01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:52,600 Alright we've got a couple items under correspondence letter from Minister McGyver just talking just responding in regards to the municipal. 631 01:04:52,600 --> 01:05:04,600 So what we did is that we did a letter or an email from the RCMP regarding body worn cameras and then our community organization funding up to February 5th 2025. 632 01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:06,600 Any questions for administration. 633 01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:12,600 Yes Madam Mayor through to administration on the response from Minister McGyver. 634 01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:19,600 I thought that our shadow population was more like 700 that's our hotel population. 635 01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:23,600 That's the hotel population the shadow population was 300 that's why it's not included. 636 01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:25,600 Okay thank you. 637 01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:26,600 That's a question. 638 01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:28,600 Yeah thanks Madam Mayor. 639 01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:35,600 I'm just going to do a couple of shout-outs here I was walking as I want to do and I'm going to a beer. 640 01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:39,600 I'm meeting in the morning and I see a garbage. 641 01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:43,600 Our garbage truck parked on the side of the road and I'm going what's this now. 642 01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:47,600 And then I see Darren Zelpa get out of it. 643 01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:56,600 Go in this lady's backyard grab her garbage can bring it to the truck and then he dumps it and brings it back. 644 01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:59,600 And I know that lady is over 90 years old. 645 01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:04,600 I think she's like 95 or 96 and that's our public works in action. 646 01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:08,600 They do so many things that people don't know about and that's one of them. 647 01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:11,600 So kudos to everybody at public works for that. 648 01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:19,600 And if you're looking for something to do around the Donald House hockey tournament is on this weekend at the Centennial Center. 649 01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:27,600 And some of us will be announcing if you're tired of my voice you know go watch another game but I'll be doing some announcing. 650 01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:34,600 So something else to do this weekend. 651 01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:44,600 All right, we do have one item in camera if I can get a motion please move into camera counselor counselor counselor language. 652 01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:47,600 Thank you all in favor. 653 01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:49,600 Carried.
