Owned 56 00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:05,745 by town. Valley. We have seven board members. Six of 57 00:56:05,745 --> 00:56:10,698 them are. Selling to Captain Orangeville. One of us installed. 58 00:56:12,661 --> 00:56:17,471 When we look at our board structure. We care about 59 00:56:17,471 --> 00:56:21,389 New Zealand. We have. Independent and non independent. We do 60 00:56:21,389 --> 00:56:25,940 have three non independent. Board members because of their affiliation 61 00:56:25,940 --> 00:56:30,133 with their shareholders, and for independent board members. When we 62 00:56:30,133 --> 00:56:32,533 look back at our 20, actually talk a little bit 63 00:56:32,533 --> 00:56:36,173 about us, and we are the electric utility, providing safe, 64 00:56:36,173 --> 00:56:38,973 reliable power to Oracle in Green Valley. We are proud 65 00:56:38,973 --> 00:56:42,093 that we also do some extra services for each municipality. 66 00:56:42,093 --> 00:56:49,509 We do the billion collective. For in the Tampa Grand 67 00:56:49,509 --> 00:56:54,109 Valley water and sewer in Orangeville as one of streetlight 68 00:56:54,109 --> 00:56:59,388 maintenance. And. Not much too often, but to locate those 69 00:56:59,388 --> 00:57:03,863 street lights. When we look at our 2024 activities and 70 00:57:03,863 --> 00:57:10,548 we'll talk a little bit more about the. Agility, statistics. 71 00:57:11,405 --> 00:57:14,676 Have a very strong year for real artists. I. Performance. 72 00:57:16,229 --> 00:57:17,509 Amy will speak more about it in a little bit, 73 00:57:17,509 --> 00:57:19,149 but if you want to see kudos. To a new. 74 00:57:21,228 --> 00:57:26,520 Completing our 2024 cost service application. What that means is 75 00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,480 we went front of the Ontario Energy Board for the 76 00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:32,400 first time in ten. Years since 2014 for them to 77 00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:34,400 deeply look on the market that way more than they 78 00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,840 normally do. So we go in front of them, not 79 00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:40,160 just asking for a standard rate increase, we go in. 80 00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:42,840 Settings. We need to set our rates to the true 81 00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:47,539 cost of serving our customers and. They look at everything. 82 00:57:47,539 --> 00:57:52,899 Our operating team and demonstrative cost, capital requirements, depreciation, our 83 00:57:52,899 --> 00:57:57,739 debt. And there's intermediates that challenge our lawyers and interviews 84 00:57:57,739 --> 00:58:01,279 that challenge our rates. And we have to fight for 85 00:58:01,279 --> 00:58:05,218 every penny. To justify doing what we've been doing for 86 00:58:05,218 --> 00:58:07,018 100 years and what we would like to do to 87 00:58:07,018 --> 00:58:11,168 keep doing for the next hundred? Specifically the next five. 88 00:58:11,168 --> 00:58:13,248 But we need to set ourselves up for success in 89 00:58:13,248 --> 00:58:18,720 the future. Amy will speak more about that. We continue 90 00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:23,272 to elect fire. Corporate assets as we can. The purchase 91 00:58:23,272 --> 00:58:26,872 of 2024 board lightning truck. So we have nine vehicles. 92 00:58:26,872 --> 00:58:30,661 At the feet. Two of them are electrified. It may 93 00:58:30,661 --> 00:58:33,881 stabilize air for a little while. Just because. Of the 94 00:58:33,881 --> 00:58:42,554 options available. Trucks. Boom, trucks are built. As. 95 00:58:46,459 --> 00:58:51,436 Municipalities do what we do too. We enhance cybersecurity. That 96 00:58:51,436 --> 00:58:53,236 is a line item in our budget. So when you 97 00:58:53,236 --> 00:58:55,436 look at every year, it keeps going. Up, but the 98 00:58:55,436 --> 00:58:59,410 value that provides keeps going as well. And then when 99 00:58:59,410 --> 00:59:00,770 you look at some of the things at the bottom, 100 00:59:00,770 --> 00:59:02,810 too, we are proud that we are able to support 101 00:59:02,810 --> 00:59:06,833 our customers financially for those in need. You have been 102 00:59:06,833 --> 00:59:13,008 Boeing, the low income MG assistance program. Over 21,000. And 103 00:59:13,008 --> 00:59:19,131 we do offer our Ontario electricity sport program. Almost 261,000 104 00:59:19,131 --> 00:59:22,291 to customers as well. Top right on this slide is 105 00:59:22,291 --> 00:59:26,251 a bit of charcoal. Water filling the town of portfolio. 106 00:59:28,101 --> 00:59:33,178 Massive. Water beet replacement program. It started. In the discussions 107 00:59:33,178 --> 00:59:36,858 in 2021, and you're not running in 2024, and we're 108 00:59:36,858 --> 00:59:40,618 now? 95% the way through the deployment. They have smart 109 00:59:40,618 --> 00:59:45,949 water meters? Just replacing the 20 something. Peril meters. They 110 00:59:45,949 --> 00:59:47,469 also move and that up for my dust that significant 111 00:59:47,469 --> 00:59:52,469 amount of efficiencies walking. Up to meters and one needed. 112 00:59:54,642 --> 00:59:58,955 Four or 500 left that. Changed out, but it's like 113 00:59:58,955 --> 01:00:02,755 a blood. I mean, that wasn't something. Just like that. 114 01:00:02,755 --> 01:00:06,515 Really effective not being block gates and mysteries. They would 115 01:00:06,515 --> 01:00:11,170 call customers, they say. I know computers usage and what 116 01:00:11,170 --> 01:00:14,850 we've learned through that. The Austin Gray Valley we identified. 117 01:00:16,693 --> 01:00:21,894 Some. Nuances with the old way of doing things. The 118 01:00:21,894 --> 01:00:24,174 time frame value continue to do something like that. We 119 01:00:24,174 --> 01:00:26,934 want to make sure our systems are really up to 120 01:00:26,934 --> 01:00:34,928 date. For meter numbers. From what's actually the field to 121 01:00:34,928 --> 01:00:38,088 what's in our CSS, we'll be doing the moving audit 122 01:00:38,088 --> 01:00:41,968 for the property to grandma because the lessons learned about 123 01:00:41,968 --> 01:00:47,793 original projects. We continue to revolt this conversion program. So 124 01:00:47,793 --> 01:00:52,033 the town of Orangeville had variables in the dish. Historically. 125 01:00:56,102 --> 01:01:02,856 Four kv. 28 kv. Time. Twelve five, 7200. I hope 126 01:01:02,856 --> 01:01:04,816 he needs nice medium bitch. That will mean to. Do 127 01:01:04,816 --> 01:01:08,496 this conversion. And so we have about five years left 128 01:01:08,496 --> 01:01:15,861 in that program. And we continue to transform our corrosion 129 01:01:15,861 --> 01:01:19,141 refurbishment program. When we look at Transformers and build and 130 01:01:19,141 --> 01:01:22,581 we bring a copy of Windsor that actually is able 131 01:01:22,581 --> 01:01:24,941 to do a bit more than just brushing the paint 132 01:01:24,941 --> 01:01:26,941 up when I was a sony student. I grind it, 133 01:01:26,941 --> 01:01:30,310 paint it, paint me a spray paint. After a few 134 01:01:30,310 --> 01:01:32,430 years, brought in a couple of different companies. This went 135 01:01:32,430 --> 01:01:35,190 out of Windsor. Will actually be able to buy bowls 136 01:01:35,190 --> 01:01:37,630 that there's holes in the middle they'll actually do. Kind 137 01:01:37,630 --> 01:01:41,590 of spot weld within sandblasting method. Pretty neat. They're just 138 01:01:41,590 --> 01:01:44,670 telling the mercy of Windsor and will actually make the 139 01:01:44,670 --> 01:01:49,604 Grand Valley this year using that same company after. Having 140 01:01:49,604 --> 01:01:53,467 as much importance. Of course, have normal polar basement program 141 01:01:53,467 --> 01:01:58,104 transformer replacement program connected to only seven. Seal homes in 142 01:01:58,104 --> 01:02:04,757 Brink Valley. We just slowed down, obviously. Next slide. This 143 01:02:04,757 --> 01:02:11,397 one is normally for. The citizens of the crowd or 144 01:02:11,397 --> 01:02:13,797 there's no watching. But of course, you do wonder always. 145 01:02:13,797 --> 01:02:16,557 The nice keyboard is everyone's been deep. Not always speak 146 01:02:16,557 --> 01:02:19,797 with electricity bill. We do have three choices from our 147 01:02:19,797 --> 01:02:24,603 customers. Everybody still has a smart meter. And everyone, and 148 01:02:24,603 --> 01:02:27,923 you just have to have time of use rates and 149 01:02:27,923 --> 01:02:30,963 then through pandemic you're given the option of switching back 150 01:02:30,963 --> 01:02:33,363 and forth every month if you like team time. Use 151 01:02:33,363 --> 01:02:36,563 over tiered. And then a few years ago, the ultra 152 01:02:36,563 --> 01:02:41,301 low rate was available. For. Specific customer class. They use 153 01:02:41,301 --> 01:02:45,303 it a lot in the evenings. Electric charger like heat 154 01:02:45,303 --> 01:02:49,664 in the winter. The ultra rolls or you might be 155 01:02:49,664 --> 01:02:52,904 the right fit when looking at any of these slides. 156 01:02:52,904 --> 01:02:54,704 Who knows what you should be on. We do have 157 01:02:54,704 --> 01:02:56,944 a calculator from our website you can type in your 158 01:02:56,944 --> 01:03:00,384 account number, your name. Hey, look at your data to 159 01:03:00,384 --> 01:03:03,024 see from historically, what would have been the right fit. 160 01:03:03,024 --> 01:03:04,744 Maybe that will be seen in the future. If you 161 01:03:04,744 --> 01:03:07,281 think you could. Make the choice right there. But of 162 01:03:07,281 --> 01:03:12,762 course. Call our office and doctors. Dividend payments. So Orange 163 01:03:12,762 --> 01:03:21,562 hydro spawn marchable 22 million corporation. In 2000 and the 164 01:03:21,562 --> 01:03:28,260 town Grand Valley 562,000. And seven. The 23 four dividend 165 01:03:28,260 --> 01:03:34,530 payments looking at last year. 506,000, split between Orangeland ran 166 01:03:34,530 --> 01:03:38,010 Valley and the 2025 dividends that will be paid this 167 01:03:38,010 --> 01:03:46,466 year will be 482,346, with 455 plus 456. Thousand to 168 01:03:46,466 --> 01:03:53,287 the tower. Now move over to Amy. Silvering of the 169 01:03:53,287 --> 01:04:02,815 reapplication. Board for. Each. And last 170 01:04:02,815 --> 01:04:06,055 year it did. Table where you're prepared for and typically 171 01:04:06,055 --> 01:04:09,015 it's completed every five years. But you had to burn 172 01:04:09,015 --> 01:04:13,631 if there wasn't any. Two complete applications for ten years 173 01:04:13,631 --> 01:04:22,072 in 2014 2024, and then. It does allow raise. So 174 01:04:22,072 --> 01:04:25,232 customers this year, distribution rate increase as you can see 175 01:04:25,232 --> 01:04:28,552 on the slide beginning on their May 1 2024 page. 176 01:04:32,965 --> 01:04:34,925 This slide also shows that breakdown of a residential bill. 177 01:04:36,661 --> 01:04:39,021 Puts the majority of categories being passed through costs which 178 01:04:39,021 --> 01:04:41,421 are required to be collected by the uncare. Or the 179 01:04:41,421 --> 01:04:44,781 electricity vendor as on hold, but the orange slices are 180 01:04:44,781 --> 01:04:49,821 distribution revenue portion that's. A portion of harmful hydrogen. Next 181 01:04:49,821 --> 01:04:54,067 slide, please. Our distribution revenue is mainly provided by their 182 01:04:54,067 --> 01:04:57,987 residential customer class for their quick service charge in 2024 183 01:04:57,987 --> 01:05:02,187 our institution revenues is higher than 2023 at 6.5 million 184 01:05:02,187 --> 01:05:09,338 due to increase in both our fixed variable rate. Our 185 01:05:09,338 --> 01:05:14,018 operating, maintenance and administrative expenses, or OMna, are split fairly 186 01:05:14,018 --> 01:05:17,098 equally between all of the categories. Of the largest, being 187 01:05:17,098 --> 01:05:21,498 general and administrative. The total LMA census in 2024 were 188 01:05:21,498 --> 01:05:29,874 4.26 million. And then, as compared. To all the formal 189 01:05:29,874 --> 01:05:34,981 needed. This increase has been detribated. Higher labor cost, higher 190 01:05:34,981 --> 01:05:37,661 training conference cost. There have been a number of newer 191 01:05:37,661 --> 01:05:42,764 satires within recent years. There's one also higher reactive operations 192 01:05:42,764 --> 01:05:48,675 for higher customer academic senses. And what time regulatory. Next 193 01:05:48,675 --> 01:05:54,833 slide. For gross capital expenditures in 2024 amounted to 2.9 194 01:05:54,833 --> 01:06:01,955 million. That was about 11% lower than budgeted. The variance 195 01:06:01,955 --> 01:06:04,755 at lower variance was due to lower customer driven subdivision 196 01:06:04,755 --> 01:06:08,355 work which didn't materialize. In 24 that would have been 197 01:06:08,355 --> 01:06:13,508 included in the system access line at the top. 2024 198 01:06:13,508 --> 01:06:17,988 capital expenditures. The actuals were about $400,000 higher than 2023, 199 01:06:17,988 --> 01:06:20,148 mainly due to the replacement of the roof and the 200 01:06:20,148 --> 01:06:23,988 office portion of the rental hydro building as well. As 201 01:06:23,988 --> 01:06:30,352 implementation of the GIS system. And in 2024, our debt 202 01:06:30,352 --> 01:06:39,970 to equity was 52% and 48% effectively. We do take 203 01:06:39,970 --> 01:06:43,850 new debt to funds, operating expenses, capital expenditures and also 204 01:06:43,850 --> 01:06:48,840 regulatory. We haven't taken you to 2022 as the recovery 205 01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:52,360 of historical regulatory variances have. Been high over the past 206 01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:55,200 few years, which has increased our cash flow but not 207 01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:59,367 needed to take the debt out of time. Last slide, 208 01:06:59,367 --> 01:07:04,826 please. So here's an overview of our financial statistics, our 209 01:07:04,826 --> 01:07:08,546 historical statistics. So the top line, our sale of energy 210 01:07:08,546 --> 01:07:10,946 is a past year of our commodity cost. That's maybe 211 01:07:10,946 --> 01:07:14,226 paid to the ISO, the independent electric system operator and. 212 01:07:17,787 --> 01:07:20,867 These have to cause accounts for approximately 83% of our 213 01:07:20,867 --> 01:07:26,179 total revenue. Our distribution revenue, as I mentioned, was 6.5 214 01:07:26,179 --> 01:07:29,299 million and is used to fund our ongoing expenses, our 215 01:07:29,299 --> 01:07:34,523 capital projects as well as our debt financing. Our total 216 01:07:34,523 --> 01:07:40,203 comprehensive income in 2024 was 965,000. And then looking at 217 01:07:40,203 --> 01:07:46,046 the capital axis or property planning and equipment line. Our 218 01:07:46,046 --> 01:07:49,126 cortex had. We sold out of almost 28 million due 219 01:07:49,126 --> 01:07:57,156 to the operating. Here. Our regulations electronically was 7.24%, which 220 01:07:57,156 --> 01:08:00,236 is lower than our mean roe of 9.21. We need 221 01:08:00,236 --> 01:08:05,303 you to lower than expected net income. And then a 222 01:08:05,303 --> 01:08:09,303 number of customers has been steadily increasing year over year, 223 01:08:09,303 --> 01:08:12,743 while our number of employees by FTe has been staying 224 01:08:12,743 --> 01:08:17,051 fairly steady. Well pass the presentation by drop for the. 225 01:08:18,659 --> 01:08:24,459 2024, we did a new record peak of our system 226 01:08:24,459 --> 01:08:30,037 command. As we hit again over 52 mw. We did 227 01:08:30,037 --> 01:08:34,920 hit that back in 2020. And it went down for 228 01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:37,960 a few years and we had a new fee. 52 229 01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:40,400 meg wealth in 2021, but a little bit more than 230 01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:47,156 that one. Still 52 megah in 2024. So our system 231 01:08:47,156 --> 01:08:49,596 in both service territory value used to be a winter 232 01:08:49,596 --> 01:08:54,708 peaking territory, not that long. Ago. But. With a few 233 01:08:54,708 --> 01:08:59,676 homes switching from electric heat to natural gas. And more 234 01:08:59,676 --> 01:09:02,476 people installing air conditioning units. Grand Valley is now some 235 01:09:02,476 --> 01:09:07,358 are deep service territory, same as the town. Our system, 236 01:09:07,358 --> 01:09:09,598 whether it's a record or not, just depends on being 237 01:09:09,598 --> 01:09:11,278 a heat spell or. Not a bath. Metal or not. 238 01:09:14,788 --> 01:09:21,204 And then moving to the next slide. 2024 was a 239 01:09:21,204 --> 01:09:25,844 reliable year. As previously mentioned, our average customer experienced just 240 01:09:25,844 --> 01:09:30,044 15 minutes of outravages excluding loss of supply from the 241 01:09:30,044 --> 01:09:35,781 town for about excellent muscle from hyper one. So it's 242 01:09:35,781 --> 01:09:37,181 really in the assets we control. In just 15 minutes. 243 01:09:39,143 --> 01:09:44,602 Next slide. Luckily, brand values. List or in pictures. We'll 244 01:09:44,602 --> 01:09:48,388 get to have virtual. That's some pretty large. 28 duplicated 245 01:09:48,388 --> 01:09:52,908 back wrench that just fell from large trees and falconer 246 01:09:52,908 --> 01:09:55,588 between orange wilming Grand Valley the west side Orange will 247 01:09:55,588 --> 01:09:59,767 philosophy on December 10 because. Whole fire. That's a hydro 248 01:09:59,767 --> 01:10:03,985 one. Or they had an insulator fail and knocked out 249 01:10:03,985 --> 01:10:09,104 multiple circuits. Luckily, none of us feed Great Valley. Grey 250 01:10:09,104 --> 01:10:11,224 Valley Speed comes out of the original TS through the 251 01:10:11,224 --> 01:10:16,870 waste transfer site and. It goes through M two. S 252 01:10:16,870 --> 01:10:19,070 north and the west coast system south of the station. 253 01:10:19,070 --> 01:10:24,164 Does this one, in fact, too. Everything went dark. Yes. 254 01:10:25,548 --> 01:10:26,908 And then there was another one that we didn't have 255 01:10:26,908 --> 01:10:30,289 a nice picture of, but. July 30 lost by the 256 01:10:30,289 --> 01:10:32,569 end of the town. Marshall and Dippen Peter and that 257 01:10:32,569 --> 01:10:34,969 was because of some construction activity that was going on. 258 01:10:36,127 --> 01:10:42,005 On the. And something got too close to buyers. I 259 01:10:42,005 --> 01:10:45,108 was quick off. We do. Like all companies who do 260 01:10:45,108 --> 01:10:51,968 a corporate scorecard. That we did want to provide some 261 01:10:51,968 --> 01:10:55,928 slides within the document. This is going to be publicly 262 01:10:55,928 --> 01:10:59,328 available. This one's made in house for now. In September. 263 01:11:01,093 --> 01:11:05,133 Doe releases their version of this. Maybe the same numbers, 264 01:11:05,133 --> 01:11:08,853 but they'll speed, run down and. It opened, a few 265 01:11:08,853 --> 01:11:12,573 others filled in, and so we do monitor ourselves overall. 266 01:11:14,202 --> 01:11:20,514 Our reliability, our financial statistics, our. Search quality stats all 267 01:11:20,514 --> 01:11:23,074 still cover the we want them to be. We're always 268 01:11:23,074 --> 01:11:28,192 looking to approve. But there wasn't jumping off the pages 269 01:11:28,192 --> 01:11:31,144 that we needed to. Best trending in the wrong direction. 270 01:11:32,777 --> 01:11:34,697 Next slide should be the last one, so thank you. 271 01:11:36,332 --> 01:11:40,405 That's our hopefully quick, somewhat quick presentation. And look forward 272 01:11:40,405 --> 01:11:43,085 to questions. Take your time. Thanks for catching us back 273 01:11:43,085 --> 01:11:52,139 up in time. Yeah. Any questions, council? 274 01:11:53,651 --> 01:11:58,445 As he raised no. Philip berzman. And this is the 275 01:11:58,445 --> 01:12:02,641 question we shouldn't ask rock because it's a general. Interest 276 01:12:02,641 --> 01:12:07,692 question. You said so. If people change from electric heat 277 01:12:07,692 --> 01:12:10,612 to a natural gas for deciding, it surprised me. That 278 01:12:10,612 --> 01:12:14,579 they don't also use natural gas for their ac. But 279 01:12:14,579 --> 01:12:17,619 you're saying most safe fees are being hooked up to 280 01:12:17,619 --> 01:12:23,667 the electrical, yes. So it'll be 40 amp rate. And 281 01:12:23,667 --> 01:12:28,820 they'll build a compressor. All residential air conditioners that I'm 282 01:12:28,820 --> 01:12:35,683 aware of are electric. Okay. That's that. Real quick. 283 01:12:40,635 --> 01:12:44,155 Shareholder equity continues grow year over year with launcher planet. 284 01:12:44,155 --> 01:12:47,821 That I did read here at bam. So David. I 285 01:12:47,821 --> 01:12:53,370 don't talk. Like the long term plan. Growing year over 286 01:12:53,370 --> 01:12:57,399 year. So what is the plan of it? I can 287 01:12:57,399 --> 01:13:02,814 do. Yeah. So. The way chairwart promotes. It's the dividend. 288 01:13:04,539 --> 01:13:08,579 Right. So when we look at our netting, when we 289 01:13:08,579 --> 01:13:13,521 look@our.net. income, which. Right. Now you have a target. And 290 01:13:13,521 --> 01:13:18,161 so half of that should go to dividends. 500,000 and 291 01:13:18,161 --> 01:13:26,130 about 500,000. Towards increasing shareholder equity. And then that will 292 01:13:26,130 --> 01:13:28,890 be driven to management team and at the board level 293 01:13:28,890 --> 01:13:33,655 is increase that incrementally. Year over year. A little bit 294 01:13:33,655 --> 01:13:37,343 above that 1 million minute. And so it should be. 295 01:13:39,022 --> 01:13:43,126 Growing at about, hopefully 500,000. What is the outcome of 296 01:13:43,126 --> 01:13:48,726 retain shareholder equity other than financing capital? Practical. Practical. 297 01:13:53,659 --> 01:13:57,519 At some point. Yeah, that's what I'm getting to. It's 298 01:13:57,519 --> 01:13:59,839 going to keep growing, so. Why am Jit at some 299 01:13:59,839 --> 01:14:03,990 point decide to pay a point? So where it helps 300 01:14:03,990 --> 01:14:07,678 us. State the obvious. The balance sheets are assets. They're 301 01:14:07,678 --> 01:14:10,798 looking to grow our assets to connect. New customers and 302 01:14:10,798 --> 01:14:15,958 take out depreciated old infrastructure funding. So by having that 303 01:14:15,958 --> 01:14:20,203 retained. Certainly helps us reduce the amount of debt we 304 01:14:20,203 --> 01:14:23,163 have to use the finance and interest on to fund 305 01:14:23,163 --> 01:14:27,643 those assets. So as our top, the balance sheet hopefully 306 01:14:27,643 --> 01:14:31,683 grows with new customers, new subdivisions, more and access to 307 01:14:31,683 --> 01:14:35,363 maintain down below will redeem the debt. Has to go 308 01:14:35,363 --> 01:14:38,323 up more because of shareholder equity increase, and then that'll 309 01:14:38,323 --> 01:14:42,196 be. Two things. One, increase our operating expense of financing 310 01:14:42,196 --> 01:14:46,849 costs, and two, It's that your capital appreciation on this 311 01:14:46,849 --> 01:14:50,889 dog. So you are owning a more valuable company. Without 312 01:14:50,889 --> 01:14:54,729 the debt binding of your asset value. And so, as 313 01:14:54,729 --> 01:14:57,929 a shareholder, you want to see that. Grow, and that's 314 01:14:57,929 --> 01:15:00,929 that balance of cash now as a dividend, which helps 315 01:15:00,929 --> 01:15:07,571 the tax. Base today. Or versus. Debt conversation of a 316 01:15:07,571 --> 01:15:11,698 more valuable asset that you own. And I should mention. 317 01:15:13,670 --> 01:15:17,164 When we talk about in our sector. Regulator on equity. 318 01:15:17,164 --> 01:15:19,324 So of course, we look at our financial statistics like 319 01:15:19,324 --> 01:15:22,684 other companies do, too. We have a very specific calculation 320 01:15:22,684 --> 01:15:25,364 for us, our regulators, of return on equity. That's one 321 01:15:25,364 --> 01:15:28,964 of the biggest topics in our process. Application, for lack 322 01:15:28,964 --> 01:15:33,837 of a better, that's our profit. In our ranks, and 323 01:15:33,837 --> 01:15:39,918 one of the values. That. Our current cost of capital 324 01:15:39,918 --> 01:15:43,958 structure is our rate 19. Step. When you look at 325 01:15:43,958 --> 01:15:46,158 our property plan and equipment at the top of our 326 01:15:46,158 --> 01:15:49,810 balance sheet. That property plan of equipment is one of 327 01:15:49,810 --> 01:15:53,730 the largest impacts on what our return on equity is. 328 01:15:55,312 --> 01:16:00,764 And so the more valuable Pe is. Thinking our PPA 329 01:16:00,764 --> 01:16:04,787 personal protective equipment, but. In the ppne, the higher that 330 01:16:04,787 --> 01:16:09,955 is, that can lead to. Future. Larger return embedded in 331 01:16:09,955 --> 01:16:12,315 the rates. So it is helping us increase net income. 332 01:16:14,671 --> 01:16:17,231 So it's a balance of can we increase our property 333 01:16:17,231 --> 01:16:21,271 plan and equipment again? Shareholder and it's helpful to meet 334 01:16:21,271 --> 01:16:25,839 up by sharing directly. Really investing back into utility. One 335 01:16:25,839 --> 01:16:30,399 other testament for you. Chair is on water meter replacement 336 01:16:30,399 --> 01:16:32,679 with orange bell. Is there a cost? Recovery above and 337 01:16:32,679 --> 01:16:38,868 beyond what you charge municipalities to new their water. So 338 01:16:38,868 --> 01:16:44,904 for that. It is their project. And. We were happy 339 01:16:44,904 --> 01:16:47,984 to tag along because we didn't want to lose that 340 01:16:47,984 --> 01:16:53,607 service, so we were happy to take it along. They. 341 01:16:54,945 --> 01:16:56,785 Bought this tens of millions of dollars to replace those. 342 01:16:58,586 --> 01:17:02,563 Needs. Millions of dollars to replace those meters. And so 343 01:17:02,563 --> 01:17:06,665 what we did. Our effort was to upgrade our systems 344 01:17:06,665 --> 01:17:11,003 to integrate with their new metering infrastructure. Some of that 345 01:17:11,003 --> 01:17:14,043 was paid dollar for dollar. Buy them. We pay our 346 01:17:14,043 --> 01:17:16,803 coding people in Covid. And then we send the bill 347 01:17:16,803 --> 01:17:21,353 to the virtual to pay for that. Zero. And then 348 01:17:21,353 --> 01:17:24,313 there was a few things that we will buy efficiencies 349 01:17:24,313 --> 01:17:27,033 on that. We've got, but the majority of our costs 350 01:17:27,033 --> 01:17:32,966 were just like. Hey. Juicer. No, just a general comment. 351 01:17:32,966 --> 01:17:37,003 Thank you for helping, advice. Banners, all that stuff. And 352 01:17:37,003 --> 01:17:41,415 update things you do. Straight away at the length of 353 01:17:41,415 --> 01:17:45,661 the Bill diamond forest. Forestry lights up on Christmas tree. 354 01:17:46,898 --> 01:17:53,079 You were mentioning the smart meters, is that what. Is 355 01:17:53,079 --> 01:17:58,165 it? Smart meters. It's an easy thing to read, but 356 01:17:58,165 --> 01:18:01,645 also, I think that's a. Benefit. Like, if all these 357 01:18:01,645 --> 01:18:05,325 is garden holes running in the backyard, you know, you 358 01:18:05,325 --> 01:18:07,565 phone them up. Say publicly when you're backyard and shut 359 01:18:07,565 --> 01:18:11,909 your clothes off. And so far, since it's been our 360 01:18:11,909 --> 01:18:16,840 office staff calling Kim. Jackie who? People like talking to 361 01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:18,560 the phone. For them calling, they don't take the stakes. 362 01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:23,715 Out there watching. It's been really well received, and. The 363 01:18:23,715 --> 01:18:26,355 first six good loads kids have. A few others came, 364 01:18:26,355 --> 01:18:29,115 finally consulted and heard us there's. Like one, six. And 365 01:18:29,115 --> 01:18:33,852 then that's continued through time to lost. Leaks. And of 366 01:18:33,852 --> 01:18:36,692 course we think of our homes. We will now call 367 01:18:36,692 --> 01:18:40,692 after leaking academic continued solar usage, but we've had some 368 01:18:40,692 --> 01:18:46,250 businesses, especially. If a business that has. We've had a 369 01:18:46,250 --> 01:18:49,010 property owner, and the owner is not really seeing the 370 01:18:49,010 --> 01:18:54,046 bill. That property management firm just went to drastically. Not 371 01:18:54,046 --> 01:18:55,326 that I'll use it in a month if they don't 372 01:18:55,326 --> 01:18:57,686 remember you talk. About what an average is and uses 373 01:18:57,686 --> 01:19:04,072 13 use it as how. It should be dropped. And 374 01:19:04,072 --> 01:19:11,018 using wildlife. Commercial. And so for the town of war, 375 01:19:11,018 --> 01:19:17,259 they have longer cost. More. Refurbish others. It's costly. I 376 01:19:17,259 --> 01:19:24,641 don't know how much. A year or two. The state. 377 01:19:26,821 --> 01:19:30,021 Will help them meet their constitution goals. I should mention 378 01:19:30,021 --> 01:19:35,604 that we're working with. The inductor teams. We're working with 379 01:19:35,604 --> 01:19:39,655 them to provide. We don't have to make those calls 380 01:19:39,655 --> 01:19:41,775 that customers can log in, but it would be like 381 01:19:41,775 --> 01:19:44,815 how the account see their usage, click the button text. 382 01:19:49,644 --> 01:19:52,004 We will be setting that up for brain value customers. 383 01:19:52,004 --> 01:19:55,524 Not on a smart meter, data. We're. Deploying a silver 384 01:19:55,524 --> 01:19:58,964 glaze platform. So right now, in the US American log 385 01:19:58,964 --> 01:20:01,724 in and see the electric usage. You had that for 386 01:20:01,724 --> 01:20:04,684 15 years. And in that quarterly, you can set thres. 387 01:20:09,152 --> 01:20:13,905 Thresholds if my daily. Percentage goes above the threshold. Email. 388 01:20:13,905 --> 01:20:18,351 You could text me. With the argent silver blades. Bargain. 389 01:20:18,351 --> 01:20:20,871 You'll be able to do that for your water and. 390 01:20:20,871 --> 01:20:23,951 Your electric. But of course, when they walk up for 391 01:20:23,951 --> 01:20:29,812 you. Monthly free. It's above this. Sending email. Get that 392 01:20:29,812 --> 01:20:36,697 slightly. Change. 393 01:20:41,379 --> 01:20:50,871 No. I'd like to thank George Ohio. For coming in 394 01:20:50,871 --> 01:20:55,431 on Unico. What Geo said that first of the reading 395 01:20:55,431 --> 01:20:59,396 that says it's. A well run company. Whatever metric you 396 01:20:59,396 --> 01:21:03,743 want to measure. And again, the competitors. In the top 397 01:21:03,743 --> 01:21:08,410 five. In everything you can think of. Yeah, it's just 398 01:21:08,410 --> 01:21:12,723 a pleasure to. Over there. Every. Month and find out 399 01:21:12,723 --> 01:21:15,803 what's going on. I think we'll be very well, buttoned. 400 01:21:17,403 --> 01:21:20,163 There's not legal complaints. So thank you very much for 401 01:21:20,163 --> 01:21:23,527 coming out. And I know Rob and Amy. No other 402 01:21:23,527 --> 01:21:25,767 way.

And yes. 407 01:22:02,019 --> 01:22:04,219 Thank you, Paul, for thinking for all the other stuff 408 01:22:04,219 --> 01:22:08,266 they do.

Here's your 428 01:23:39,278 --> 01:23:43,133 next member. Thank you very much. And thank you all 429 01:23:43,133 --> 01:23:51,353 very much for coming. And always, thank you for. Continue 430 01:23:51,353 --> 01:23:56,572 to work together. Have a very successful utility. 431 01:24:19,450 --> 01:24:27,305 Yes. Thank you for six minutes. That's the GM medical 432 01:24:27,305 --> 01:24:33,843 spend quite a bit longer after. You get? Two. Guys. 433 01:24:35,179 --> 01:24:38,659 That would be a care, but. They do have a 434 01:24:38,659 --> 01:24:46,305 lot of events, too. They give a lot. Too. 435 01:24:53,805 --> 01:24:57,005 So I am down to probably question, period, whether anybody 436 01:24:57,005 --> 01:24:57,045 happy. 437 01:25:09,620 --> 01:25:12,580 There hasn't been. So go ahead. What were you going 438 01:25:12,580 --> 01:25:13,900 to say? I was going to. Say there has been. 439 01:25:19,453 --> 01:25:23,498 A conversation up here. That. We have brought Catherine all 440 01:25:23,498 --> 01:25:28,183 the way from Guel. Wondered if we could. Be okay 441 01:25:28,183 --> 01:25:34,514 with council. To get. What item number is that? 12.3.3. 442 01:25:41,524 --> 01:25:51,173 Years. Yeah, that's good terms. It'll be a while, though, 443 01:25:51,173 --> 01:25:55,314 if you want to. I prefer Massachusetts preferred too. Sounds 444 01:25:55,314 --> 01:25:58,674 good. And that deals with the manager of plan. Thank 445 01:25:58,674 --> 01:26:03,671 you. Swear. Yeah, this report is. Session for the Grand 446 01:26:03,671 --> 01:26:09,045 Valley Business Park, I think five years. If flow to 447 01:26:09,045 --> 01:26:13,215 come to fruition. There's a lot of. Infrastructure that's required. 448 01:26:13,215 --> 01:26:16,735 It highlights the report and their request, so unless there's 449 01:26:16,735 --> 01:26:20,452 any good questions. I don't know if cabin has anything 450 01:26:20,452 --> 01:26:24,219 to add. Or are you here to speak catheter? Just 451 01:26:24,219 --> 01:26:30,382 to answer a question. If there's. Answer questions. Thank you 452 01:26:30,382 --> 01:26:34,121 very much. To address. Okay, I have a motion moved 453 01:26:34,121 --> 01:26:38,662 by councilor Lattim. Second by councilor. Be resolved. That leads 454 01:26:38,662 --> 01:26:40,942 to give him to Catherine McLaughlin to address council. All 455 01:26:40,942 --> 01:26:49,987 in favor? Of this home we get this evening as 456 01:26:49,987 --> 01:26:53,387 it relates to our grand Valley park graph print request. 457 01:26:55,498 --> 01:27:02,572 Yes. I just wanted to. Question. We did read Mark 458 01:27:02,572 --> 01:27:07,418 planning report and its recommendations. And. Heard of them. And 459 01:27:07,418 --> 01:27:11,138 we hope that some of these children are request regard. 460 01:27:12,319 --> 01:27:20,186 Land. I know everyone's in the stream. Our infrastructure, servicing 461 01:27:20,186 --> 01:27:24,746 challenges beyond our control and timing that are required to 462 01:27:24,746 --> 01:27:34,737 bring. Those projects. Further, we're unable to clear our 463 01:27:34,737 --> 01:27:37,697 draft planning conditions on an advanced project. 464 01:27:45,070 --> 01:27:49,567 Answer any questions. Any questions from council? Thanks. 465 01:27:55,249 --> 01:27:58,546 The only question I have. Is I can have these 466 01:27:58,546 --> 01:28:04,415 things happen concurrent. Right. Like we are going to start, 467 01:28:04,415 --> 01:28:09,019 right? I've always been told. You start digging for the 468 01:28:09,019 --> 01:28:12,858 food pumping station, people can start doing something. So I 469 01:28:12,858 --> 01:28:16,218 worry that we're going to start big, and it sounds 470 01:28:16,218 --> 01:28:22,863 like fingers crossed, though. Start taking this haul. That would 471 01:28:22,863 --> 01:28:27,107 be our hope. I've always been told that we start 472 01:28:27,107 --> 01:28:31,429 digging. Things can start happening. And so I worry about. 473 01:28:33,429 --> 01:28:36,029 Well, now reading. Well, know these things can't. And we 474 01:28:36,029 --> 01:28:40,910 need another five years. That's my only concern. Absolutely yet. 475 01:28:40,910 --> 01:28:43,030 There's a bunch of work to do. But I also 476 01:28:43,030 --> 01:28:46,444 know that it takes a long time to get. Positions, 477 01:28:46,444 --> 01:28:51,227 regardless of what kind of subdivision. And term matter has 478 01:28:51,227 --> 01:28:54,267 to wait until the rest of the police station commission. 479 01:28:56,884 --> 01:29:01,093 Would be who knows how long? Get the ball. Now, 480 01:29:01,093 --> 01:29:04,413 the background work that's required to clear the draft plan 481 01:29:04,413 --> 01:29:07,813 conditions, and I think what would be helpful for us 482 01:29:07,813 --> 01:29:10,813 as well is just to keep inform with the tile 483 01:29:10,813 --> 01:29:13,493 on the timing. Of these projects so that we know, 484 01:29:13,493 --> 01:29:18,413 like, okay, the tenders have been awarded. Okay, we're. Advancing 485 01:29:18,413 --> 01:29:22,537 to construction, and then. That helps us give up a 486 01:29:22,537 --> 01:29:26,299 sense of time. To how we can sort of dovetail. 487 01:29:33,093 --> 01:29:41,194 Thank you. Through you chair to Catherine. So just. What? 488 01:29:41,194 --> 01:29:44,474 I guess through in 2022 when we sat what's been 489 01:29:44,474 --> 01:29:49,196 done or has anything been done. Short, nothing. Or as 490 01:29:49,196 --> 01:29:55,189 of a day. A very preliminary thing via our engineer 491 01:29:55,189 --> 01:30:00,194 in the background. Just general comment. We gave you three 492 01:30:00,194 --> 01:30:02,994 years out of the review. We gave them three years 493 01:30:02,994 --> 01:30:07,679 that came back? Yes. September 27. Within the next council 494 01:30:07,679 --> 01:30:15,309 term, but. Late, doc. So I would say. 2029. 495 01:30:18,409 --> 01:30:26,071 Would be my suggestion to. Be. In. October 3. Say 496 01:30:26,071 --> 01:30:34,024 about that? I was the one who said three years 497 01:30:34,024 --> 01:30:36,184 at the beginning, right? We probably should have given five. 498 01:30:39,263 --> 01:30:41,903 We'd be at eight to eight. Doesn't make a good 499 01:30:41,903 --> 01:30:45,103 point. I agree back. Marsh. By the way, I was 500 01:30:45,103 --> 01:30:54,234 hearing my throat. I agreed with. It. It probably does 501 01:30:54,234 --> 01:31:00,313 make more sense to have it come back. Before. Kind 502 01:31:00,313 --> 01:31:03,256 of breakdown? I don't know. I would open for each 503 01:31:03,256 --> 01:31:09,408 month they've been going. I think we're all in. We 504 01:31:09,408 --> 01:31:11,048 can actually get approved, but we can at least push. 505 01:31:12,462 --> 01:31:16,738 To have things happen. The biggest frustration. I think that 506 01:31:16,738 --> 01:31:25,566 frustration. We turn out in our control, then I. 507 01:31:27,468 --> 01:31:29,668 Get that? Yeah, we hand it off to them. I 508 01:31:29,668 --> 01:31:32,348 thought three years ago we had the compensation. Built by 509 01:31:32,348 --> 01:31:41,347 now. We really should. Go ahead, but three. It. Certainly 510 01:31:41,347 --> 01:31:44,227 your project is very important to this council and very 511 01:31:44,227 --> 01:31:48,236 important to this. And I don't think we're going to 512 01:31:48,236 --> 01:31:53,231 torpedo it anyway. We'll say four years. And. If nothing 513 01:31:53,231 --> 01:31:56,077 happens. Those day. Four years again or who's ever sitting 514 01:31:56,077 --> 01:32:00,979 here. Say that again. Hopefully we won't need to say 515 01:32:00,979 --> 01:32:05,724 it. This is just to approve the draft condition, right? 516 01:32:05,724 --> 01:32:11,410 This isn't to actually finish the project. No. They have 517 01:32:11,410 --> 01:32:15,890 four years then to fulfill all the conditions and secure 518 01:32:15,890 --> 01:32:20,130 the project. Secure the project and subdivision agreements, all of 519 01:32:20,130 --> 01:32:24,850 that within. So instead of September 27, 2030, it would 520 01:32:24,850 --> 01:32:30,548 be 2029. And that hopefully within that four year, the 521 01:32:30,548 --> 01:32:36,194 infrastructure is there and. As captain sets up. We are 522 01:32:36,194 --> 01:32:41,145 in fairly good communication mode, which on this field. No, 523 01:32:41,145 --> 01:32:48,152 but I have a question generally. Phil and then jim. 524 01:32:50,223 --> 01:32:51,103 I have a question ready, so you can go first. 525 01:32:52,944 --> 01:32:58,618 Without being getting into specifics. What is the interest, actually 526 01:32:58,618 --> 01:33:04,311 for developing that property? We're very committed and we have 527 01:33:04,311 --> 01:33:07,431 an interest in. I know you do, but in terms 528 01:33:07,431 --> 01:33:11,469 of how that's going to be done. With respect. To 529 01:33:11,469 --> 01:33:19,777 putting people in there. Specifically here. They've been approached already 530 01:33:19,777 --> 01:33:21,777 by companies to say, okay, we want to go here. 531 01:33:23,401 --> 01:33:25,641 No, because we haven't been actively marketing yet. So there 532 01:33:25,641 --> 01:33:33,502 would be a marketing program. Associated with. Defines users. Leveraging. 533 01:33:36,280 --> 01:33:40,342 Other avenues. Like county of Deference. I don't know Grand 534 01:33:40,342 --> 01:33:45,302 Valley, but everyone's economic development. Committee usually maintains lists of 535 01:33:45,302 --> 01:33:49,390 available sites. That's where I was going for because Phil 536 01:33:49,390 --> 01:33:52,310 and era on the EDC here in private. So that 537 01:33:52,310 --> 01:33:57,492 was what my question was, okay? The other piece is 538 01:33:57,492 --> 01:34:06,204 the, and it's mentioned in your planners report. That. It's 539 01:34:06,204 --> 01:34:08,884 been Spanish, right? There has been expanded. So it says 540 01:34:08,884 --> 01:34:13,548 potentially. Would we see a rework. Graph subdivision to include 541 01:34:13,548 --> 01:34:19,715 the entire. Property that goes down to 109. Specifically working 542 01:34:19,715 --> 01:34:24,552 just on this. We. Would not rework what we have 543 01:34:24,552 --> 01:34:29,272 currently approved. Anything that we come of evening, the lands 544 01:34:29,272 --> 01:34:32,601 that have recently been brought into the urban boundaries. That 545 01:34:32,601 --> 01:34:35,601 would be another draft plan application. Let's call it a 546 01:34:35,601 --> 01:34:40,860 phase two. But a planning beast does not make sense 547 01:34:40,860 --> 01:34:46,379 to look at. Big picture, yes. I believe in the 548 01:34:46,379 --> 01:34:50,099 plan. There are provisions for roads just for your watts 549 01:34:50,099 --> 01:34:56,789 division, right? You own the property? On the field had 550 01:34:56,789 --> 01:34:59,989 shown a preliminary road network all the way down to 551 01:34:59,989 --> 01:35:03,229 109, and Dr. Kathy said, no, you can't do that. 552 01:35:03,229 --> 01:35:04,909 So don't show it. So we had to. Take it 553 01:35:04,909 --> 01:35:11,780 off. So we're thinking in the future they're not. Yes. 554 01:35:11,780 --> 01:35:14,060 If it came in, it would be another drought plan 555 01:35:14,060 --> 01:35:19,507 of subdivision and it would be another public process. So 556 01:35:19,507 --> 01:35:20,947 that's the way it would have to be done. But 557 01:35:20,947 --> 01:35:25,693 these lands. Were back to 2014. They predate me. We've 558 01:35:25,693 --> 01:35:30,663 had these. At the time. When they came forward, Thomas 559 01:35:30,663 --> 01:35:35,299 Field was showing their commitment. To start having grand Valley 560 01:35:35,299 --> 01:35:38,615 as a full community. Before Glenn play everything. So this 561 01:35:38,615 --> 01:35:42,335 was the start. Unfortunately, infrastructure projects take a lot longer. 562 01:36:00,632 --> 01:36:09,809 Hopefully she doesn't. But I think from a fundamental standpoint, 563 01:36:09,809 --> 01:36:16,699 it doesn't make sense. Motion by councilor Lattim, second by 564 01:36:16,699 --> 01:36:22,859 councilor John Kirby. Resolved that report number pln. 50 99. 565 01:36:22,859 --> 01:36:27,219 Draft plan approval extension request. Grab our business. Park Thomas 566 01:36:27,219 --> 01:36:36,752 Field, file 22 t. 202201 be 567 01:36:36,752 --> 01:36:40,312 received in terms of the council approves the extension draft 568 01:36:40,312 --> 01:36:44,914 plan approval for grand Valley business park. Filed two. Two 569 01:36:44,914 --> 01:36:51,939 t. 202201. For four years to September 27, 2020. Any 570 01:36:51,939 --> 01:36:55,847 close in favor? We don't have to do that one. 571 01:37:01,558 --> 01:37:03,398 But yes, that would be disappointment if we don't get 572 01:37:03,398 --> 01:37:09,930 something. Thank you very much for coming. Back to me. 573 01:37:15,207 --> 01:37:24,822 Excellent. On my list 574 01:37:24,822 --> 01:37:34,725 is an update on the land. For a new library. 575 01:37:36,581 --> 01:37:43,264 We received their leather and. I basically confirmed that what 576 01:37:43,264 --> 01:37:50,148 they're asking about. Is it? Is eligible. For Doveman charges. 577 01:37:52,132 --> 01:37:58,595 What that facility will be. If there's any questions or 578 01:37:58,595 --> 01:38:02,554 anything. I know Joanne's here as well. Donker is on 579 01:38:02,554 --> 01:38:06,846 the board. So any questions about any of this? Thank 580 01:38:06,846 --> 01:38:13,290 you. Chair through you. The only question I have. Should 581 01:38:13,290 --> 01:38:14,970 there have to be a portion of the DC chargers, 582 01:38:14,970 --> 01:38:19,333 a portion of municipality. Like we should be paying 100%. 583 01:38:23,381 --> 01:38:28,526 The bigger picture being. From Rendell. How are we finding 584 01:38:28,526 --> 01:38:31,326 this library? How are we. How do I reward main 585 01:38:31,326 --> 01:38:35,308 town to rent it? And. If now I'm going to 586 01:38:35,308 --> 01:38:37,588 collect the full rent, that's a different case, but. If 587 01:38:37,588 --> 01:38:39,508 the board is going to be paying for the operations 588 01:38:39,508 --> 01:38:42,228 or end of it portioned accordingly. That would be my 589 01:38:42,228 --> 01:38:46,668 own question. Why is the Grand Valley pay hunt? It's 590 01:38:46,668 --> 01:38:48,188 a minimal amount, but at the same time as the 591 01:38:48,188 --> 01:38:52,338 principal. It's not a big question. It's just a question. 592 01:38:54,616 --> 01:38:57,696 At this point, that hasn't been contemplated, so that would 593 01:38:57,696 --> 01:38:59,376 require further. I don't. Know if that's been discussed with 594 01:38:59,376 --> 01:39:05,314 the board level at all. But. That is a good 595 01:39:05,314 --> 01:39:07,154 point. Is there going to be a town of Grand 596 01:39:07,154 --> 01:39:11,358 Valley? Owned Philippines who can be owned by the board. 597 01:39:11,358 --> 01:39:18,874 Is it going to be. Some hybrid. Thing. Joanne, I 598 01:39:18,874 --> 01:39:23,322 don't know if you had. That been anything that says 599 01:39:23,322 --> 01:39:27,843 with that at all? Nothing's been said. The way it 600 01:39:27,843 --> 01:39:32,363 sits now. The town of Grand Valley own the Grand 601 01:39:32,363 --> 01:39:36,923 Valley Public Library. The chief municipal. The library and the 602 01:39:36,923 --> 01:39:39,643 library itself is owned in a service of the town 603 01:39:39,643 --> 01:39:46,452 of Graham Valley. The two other municipalities contract. To the 604 01:39:46,452 --> 01:39:54,076 library board. So they don't own the library. They contract 605 01:39:54,076 --> 01:39:59,555 services from the library board. And so, therefore. 606 01:40:04,436 --> 01:40:07,883 They don't contribute to the capital. Technically, no, they are 607 01:40:07,883 --> 01:40:13,218 not obligated. To. Contribute to the capital, and that is 608 01:40:13,218 --> 01:40:17,750 in the contract. That their expenses are for operating only. 609 01:40:20,491 --> 01:40:25,236 The books. Are kind of capital, but. It's a library, 610 01:40:25,236 --> 01:40:28,591 so it is part of our operating. Which is different 611 01:40:28,591 --> 01:40:33,936 from the other boards. It is completely different. The agreements 612 01:40:33,936 --> 01:40:38,754 are different. So if we're building a $2 million library, 613 01:40:38,754 --> 01:40:44,551 they're not spending any money. That would be up to 614 01:40:44,551 --> 01:40:46,871 them at that point, whether they want to make a 615 01:40:46,871 --> 01:40:52,136 donation, whether they want to contribute. That's up to them. 616 01:40:55,016 --> 01:40:58,856 The other option, and I probably think that should probably 617 01:40:58,856 --> 01:41:01,056 come about sooner than later, is that the town. Grand 618 01:41:01,056 --> 01:41:05,444 Valley actually charged rent to the library. Down, built the 619 01:41:05,444 --> 01:41:11,252 building, and then rented out to whomever. Already now. Because 620 01:41:11,252 --> 01:41:17,427 right now, The library. Is. In this building ran free. 621 01:41:20,308 --> 01:41:26,859 There's an exchange of grass cutting and bills. That should 622 01:41:26,859 --> 01:41:31,922 be. Maybe fleshed out a little bit better, but I 623 01:41:31,922 --> 01:41:38,371 think also. A better financial agreement. So that the library 624 01:41:38,371 --> 01:41:44,365 grants from the municipality. But the municipality. Basically is language. 625 01:41:46,986 --> 01:41:56,864 Right. And then that way the 626 01:41:56,864 --> 01:42:05,683 rent is part of the operating cost. Following along with 627 01:42:05,683 --> 01:42:11,291 that. I don't know if the other municipalities have the 628 01:42:11,291 --> 01:42:18,518 libraries in their DC. I doubt it. I don't think 629 01:42:18,518 --> 01:42:23,347 they do. I think they do. For. Fire. But not 630 01:42:23,347 --> 01:42:33,250 for life. So, yeah. I answered that 631 01:42:33,250 --> 01:42:35,330 question. I guess right now there's nothing in the agreement 632 01:42:35,330 --> 01:42:38,776 for capital that it's on us. Question how those do. 633 01:42:40,965 --> 01:42:47,462 The only other questions. I'm not great. To the. What's 634 01:42:47,462 --> 01:42:51,702 it called? The size of the. Site. I wondered if 635 01:42:51,702 --> 01:42:54,342 Grand Valley is going to do it. I wonder if 636 01:42:54,342 --> 01:42:58,046 five acres. Because they still don't have a report on 637 01:42:58,046 --> 01:43:02,909 this building. For whether or not the viability should touch 638 01:43:02,909 --> 01:43:07,909 on. Building at the same time. But it should touch 639 01:43:07,909 --> 01:43:17,196 on it. Ten to five. Eight is. A decent sized 640 01:43:17,196 --> 01:43:27,080 property. Yeah, it's weird. It's not nice. There's 641 01:43:27,080 --> 01:43:29,560 trail and then there's pipes. We don't. Know. 642 01:43:37,224 --> 01:43:40,451 That's good. As it says in here. The board needs 643 01:43:40,451 --> 01:43:42,211 to help come up with a scope of work for 644 01:43:42,211 --> 01:43:44,411 what this study would look. At. We could include something. 645 01:43:46,200 --> 01:43:47,800 Is that what you want to call it? Yeah, we 646 01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:54,279 did have it. There's a building. Committee. I'll just phrase 647 01:43:54,279 --> 01:43:56,319 it. That would probably come up with that sort of 648 01:43:56,319 --> 01:44:04,295 thing. Anything else? Great. I'm just. 649 01:44:07,793 --> 01:44:10,593 Doing this more for vegans because I go, hey, do 650 01:44:10,593 --> 01:44:12,913 we know how much? I guess it depends on what 651 01:44:12,913 --> 01:44:15,473 they want. Do we have a general idea of what 652 01:44:15,473 --> 01:44:18,153 this is going to cost? Us, and I'm assuming we 653 01:44:18,153 --> 01:44:23,238 had it. In our dcs. Yes. We've been collecting library 654 01:44:23,238 --> 01:44:31,349 money for GC and viability. 20 to 30k. King old. 655 01:44:33,365 --> 01:44:39,753 We. March. If we're lucky, at table five two in 656 01:44:39,753 --> 01:44:43,713 your report, that would come under provision for. Collection of 657 01:44:43,713 --> 01:44:52,699 materials. And space. But for which faction would you be 658 01:44:52,699 --> 01:44:58,175 taking? The space. The space. Provision for additional space would 659 01:44:58,175 --> 01:45:00,815 be where the CC money would come from for the 660 01:45:00,815 --> 01:45:05,431 building. Okay, so over a ten year period, that's what 661 01:45:05,431 --> 01:45:12,313 we're estimating, that we're. Going to collect. There. 's obviously 662 01:45:12,313 --> 01:45:15,353 nobody else going to ask. The town valley has been 663 01:45:15,353 --> 01:45:23,195 asked to take this home. That's something we could always, 664 01:45:23,195 --> 01:45:26,738 depending on which way they go, we can. Fortunate later 665 01:45:26,738 --> 01:45:35,178 too. And let's keep rolling. I believe that's going back 666 01:45:35,178 --> 01:45:43,969 to the life report for more. Second or. Second. 667 01:45:45,096 --> 01:45:46,216 Roaring and I wait to talk. 668 01:46:05,127 --> 01:46:09,883 About covering. So it tells you what side of the 669 01:46:09,883 --> 01:46:14,788 building you put on. Is that the shorter? I purpose 670 01:46:14,788 --> 01:46:17,908 of each space in the building. Types of use now 671 01:46:17,908 --> 01:46:22,578 a volume of use. How could it be best used? 672 01:46:24,187 --> 01:46:26,987 On the top. I've been looking at the physical characteristics 673 01:46:26,987 --> 01:46:36,542 of the land. Driving anything. Traffic. Traffic. 674 01:46:36,969 --> 01:46:39,569 So based on the wish list of the library board, 675 01:46:39,569 --> 01:46:44,301 they presented the other. Answering the questions of could this. 676 01:46:49,755 --> 01:46:54,064 Space do? What is wanted. To handle how much space. 677 01:46:58,328 --> 01:47:04,224 It would require. Should we probably add that? Library committee. 678 01:47:07,687 --> 01:47:11,080 Build a committee would. Yeah. No, but if we at 679 01:47:11,080 --> 01:47:14,720 the town wanted to add on, well, depending on how 680 01:47:14,720 --> 01:47:17,120 much they. Need. Is it viable to have anything else 681 01:47:17,120 --> 01:47:20,716 there? Are feature two of the report, so we spent 682 01:47:20,716 --> 01:47:24,610 two grand on that. We're paying for it. We wanted 683 01:47:24,610 --> 01:47:27,332 to get a report back to. Works for a full 684 01:47:27,332 --> 01:47:37,138 use building. Or whatever. That makes sense. Nothing new. For 685 01:47:37,138 --> 01:47:42,642 directions. I think it needs to. Right. Or to prepare 686 01:47:42,642 --> 01:47:45,802 school work consultants with this plan so that the RFP 687 01:47:45,802 --> 01:47:51,884 can be issued. Including town considerations or something. Potential for 688 01:47:51,884 --> 01:48:01,439 code. Going to the board. I 689 01:48:01,439 --> 01:48:04,639 think the original plan that was taught use opportunity as 690 01:48:04,639 --> 01:48:09,744 well. Food bank comes to mind. There's one potential. To 691 01:48:09,744 --> 01:48:17,163 add. Including considerations. Okay, I'll put including. 692 01:48:19,737 --> 01:48:24,873 Yeah, because. It does depend if I think of what 693 01:48:24,873 --> 01:48:29,739 the library decides, what they want. But I thought when 694 01:48:29,739 --> 01:48:32,939 I read one report that, Joanne, you wanted it to 695 01:48:32,939 --> 01:48:37,979 be a multi, multipurpose facility. Not only. Well, I did 696 01:48:37,979 --> 01:48:40,339 have, like, a commercial kitchen on there with a little. 697 01:48:40,339 --> 01:48:46,411 Bit bigger hall for larger groups. And then I did. 698 01:48:48,075 --> 01:48:53,300 Potential food bank. Wanting a senior center. There's all sorts 699 01:48:53,300 --> 01:48:58,755 of possibilities that. Can be added. Into a new library. 700 01:49:00,117 --> 01:49:03,797 I would like some sort of outside Pavellian too, for 701 01:49:03,797 --> 01:49:09,771 outside programs. We do for outside space? That would more 702 01:49:09,771 --> 01:49:17,107 fall. On kind of recreational or just basically. Almost a 703 01:49:17,107 --> 01:49:21,547 picnic area or some sort of covered pavilion so that 704 01:49:21,547 --> 01:49:27,258 people who. Were using the trailways. Or. Want a family 705 01:49:27,258 --> 01:49:30,578 reunion, and they want something with protection, and they could 706 01:49:30,578 --> 01:49:34,999 rent out that space. There was all sorts of different 707 01:49:34,999 --> 01:49:40,143 ideas. We had. Nothing was concrete. It all depends on 708 01:49:40,143 --> 01:49:44,201 how much money. The town's willing to spend, whether it's 709 01:49:44,201 --> 01:49:46,801 going to be a phase one and a phase two. 710 01:49:46,801 --> 01:49:49,321 Yes, we might get the library, but, like, the outside 711 01:49:49,321 --> 01:49:52,500 space might have to wait. A year or two. That 712 01:49:52,500 --> 01:49:57,393 all depends on. What the town wants to do. And 713 01:49:57,393 --> 01:50:01,588 then also how much? The town is willing to contribute. 714 01:50:01,588 --> 01:50:04,828 How much the town is expecting the library board to 715 01:50:04,828 --> 01:50:09,947 fundraise. For and. What the town is expecting us to 716 01:50:09,947 --> 01:50:14,787 fundraise for, so there's all sorts of considerations that have 717 01:50:14,787 --> 01:50:19,156 not been discussed in any manner at all. Doesn't it 718 01:50:19,156 --> 01:50:22,436 go to tender? Based on the budget room, the RFP. 719 01:50:22,436 --> 01:50:28,114 We have to get some quotes on it. We'd have 720 01:50:28,114 --> 01:50:38,107 to get centered along with a closed. No. That's only 721 01:50:38,107 --> 01:50:44,631 really if it gets over 100. We can invite. Consult 722 01:50:44,631 --> 01:50:49,547 25 to do it. Every night have a motion moved 723 01:50:49,547 --> 01:50:54,298 by councilor or deputy mayor and secondary council. We would 724 01:50:54,298 --> 01:50:56,098 result in. Council receives a report granted by the public 725 01:50:56,098 --> 01:50:59,898 library. Land design. I'm pray that a council authorizes the 726 01:50:59,898 --> 01:51:04,418 use of development charges funding to pay for a viability. 727 01:51:04,418 --> 01:51:07,778 Development plan and asks the board to prepare group of 728 01:51:07,778 --> 01:51:13,721 work for consultant assistant plan so that. RFP can be 729 01:51:13,721 --> 01:51:16,361 issued when they're ready to proceed with the next steps, 730 01:51:16,361 --> 01:51:25,418 including. Consideration. We'll keep in touch. 731 01:51:27,967 --> 01:51:30,927 I did take a quick look at the development church 732 01:51:30,927 --> 01:51:35,698 studies for both. Thank you. 733 01:51:41,146 --> 01:51:44,832 In particular for Mr. Does break it out. As to 734 01:51:44,832 --> 01:51:47,992 the amount that they've collected for provisions for additional space 735 01:51:47,992 --> 01:51:51,792 and provisions for collection. Materials, both for county grants Valley 736 01:51:51,792 --> 01:51:55,944 and for shelter. You already asked the question, but. 737 01:52:07,350 --> 01:52:17,049 Okay. Can we move on, then? Twelve. One, 20. Performance 738 01:52:17,049 --> 01:52:21,824 review. An earlier council meeting. What was it? There should 739 01:52:21,824 --> 01:52:23,864 be a couple of different ways to do the CAO 740 01:52:23,864 --> 01:52:31,744 performance review this year. I just sent some information. On 741 01:52:31,744 --> 01:52:37,742 the two different types. Council needs to pick how to 742 01:52:37,742 --> 01:52:46,155 do this. Make it happen. Oh, I don't know. 743 01:53:05,785 --> 01:53:13,176 Some discussion. How do we want to proceed? With. The 744 01:53:13,176 --> 01:53:15,656 only discussion, I'll add. So the fire board got a 745 01:53:15,656 --> 01:53:22,285 quote from RLB for 360. Three. But the only thing 746 01:53:22,285 --> 01:53:26,186 I have. All the option. Just for information. I probably 747 01:53:26,186 --> 01:53:33,141 leave that way, but. I've changed my life from last 748 01:53:33,141 --> 01:53:40,826 week. Anybody else has spoken. Standard. 749 01:53:43,894 --> 01:53:47,855 Three things. It's a little new agey for me. I 750 01:53:47,855 --> 01:53:49,255 have three things because it makes a whole lot of 751 01:53:49,255 --> 01:53:50,895 sense. The way I see it, I figure if as 752 01:53:50,895 --> 01:53:52,975 a leader you can't figure out what your people are 753 01:53:52,975 --> 01:53:55,455 doing, you shouldn't. Be needing them or what they're thinking. 754 01:53:59,454 --> 01:54:07,946 The most part, I do. Part of the job. Okay, 755 01:54:07,946 --> 01:54:16,768 James. Go ahead, Lauren. You can choose this reading. Are 756 01:54:16,768 --> 01:54:23,848 you breathing as well? Isn't that. Question focus in the 757 01:54:23,848 --> 01:54:26,728 past review, let's just say we didn't go with a 758 01:54:26,728 --> 01:54:32,122 360, because then there's no discussion among. Employees here, whereas 759 01:54:32,122 --> 01:54:37,222 360 would give that conversation as well, like HMI. Yeah. 760 01:54:37,222 --> 01:54:39,862 So that's. I think that actually makes more sense because 761 01:54:39,862 --> 01:54:41,982 we sit in a room. Here, where you're like twice 762 01:54:41,982 --> 01:54:45,948 a month have been doing this review. Kind of second 763 01:54:45,948 --> 01:54:55,005 Paul's idea. There. 's. The inclusion of employees. 764 01:54:56,580 --> 01:55:01,545 And people that are actually here. Have you thought, James? 765 01:55:01,884 --> 01:55:07,030 Leaning into it. I was leaning towards. Fills. Still likely 766 01:55:07,030 --> 01:55:10,623 there, but. I could see the horizon of the sort 767 01:55:10,623 --> 01:55:18,766 fridge. You know what? Let's just get the 360. Maybe 768 01:55:18,766 --> 01:55:26,232 this. So RLB. The one I drew, the number four, 769 01:55:26,232 --> 01:55:33,499 but you've never checked. Yeah, just based on the amount 770 01:55:33,499 --> 01:55:41,485 of work. You review from and I'm thinking. You see 771 01:55:41,485 --> 01:55:43,525 me know just the company that kind of, whether you 772 01:55:43,525 --> 01:55:48,638 know, or like, or even a. Budget or. Because we 773 01:55:48,638 --> 01:55:50,958 do business with both. We do business, Ruby, and we're. 774 01:55:52,714 --> 01:55:56,274 Well enough to grow. We work with ward not to 775 01:55:56,274 --> 01:56:01,277 grow for HR. They're familiar with our HR policies, our 776 01:56:01,277 --> 01:56:04,837 job descriptions and all that. Rlb they know. Our books. 777 01:56:04,837 --> 01:56:09,871 They don't know our HR. But. I would think they 778 01:56:09,871 --> 01:56:14,976 do look the same. I mean, more enough for. Less. 779 01:56:16,229 --> 01:56:18,229 I can't imagine to be two men. There's Dolly difference. 780 01:57:24,866 --> 01:57:24,906 From. 781 01:57:34,700 --> 01:57:35,660 Hma. 782 01:57:46,506 --> 01:57:49,426 Which I think makes sense a little bit. Fireboard proposals 783 01:57:49,426 --> 01:57:56,308 we saw, so. Clarify. Yeah. Push my gas rely on 784 01:57:56,308 --> 01:58:01,407 cycle by councilor Juncker be it resolved. 2025 Cao performance. 785 01:58:05,115 --> 01:58:08,995 View format and further that council direct CEO to arrange 786 01:58:08,995 --> 01:58:15,885 a 360. Degree review. From the balance HR consultants up 787 01:58:15,885 --> 01:58:20,205 to an amount of $5,000 to include three to four 788 01:58:20,205 --> 01:58:24,845 employee interviews, one to two meetings with council and individual 789 01:58:24,845 --> 01:58:30,441 counsel. Feedback. From american firefox troubles. Any questions on the 790 01:58:30,441 --> 01:58:38,224 motion? I'll do. Up next. 791 01:58:43,179 --> 01:58:45,739 Step is the Highland Health Network use of space at 792 01:58:45,739 --> 01:58:53,782 the medical center. So. 793 01:58:59,537 --> 01:59:05,949 I did receive their documented request. And echo slice. I 794 01:59:05,949 --> 01:59:07,509 was a little concerned that I didn't quite get erased. 795 01:59:10,657 --> 01:59:13,542 But that's exactly what they're asking about. Is students and 796 01:59:13,542 --> 01:59:19,328 resident training. And using the whole building. Question. Click on 797 01:59:19,328 --> 01:59:29,169 this. What's their current? Situation. But 798 01:59:29,169 --> 01:59:33,225 they're using that. They hadn't signed the new lease. For 799 01:59:33,225 --> 01:59:35,705 their front floor. Is that still in limbo? Yes, and 800 01:59:35,705 --> 01:59:39,906 we would finalize. If this goes ahead fast after they've 801 01:59:39,906 --> 01:59:42,866 asked, we would finalize the lease based on these changes. 802 01:59:44,821 --> 01:59:46,101 If it does, then you're saying, no, they can only 803 01:59:46,101 --> 01:59:49,979 have the upper then we'll. Silently. But what are we 804 01:59:49,979 --> 01:59:52,619 going to do in the interim before, because it's contingent 805 01:59:52,619 --> 01:59:57,568 on them. CBD through funding. Theoretically, it would give us 806 01:59:57,568 --> 02:00:02,068 time to finalize a new lease. And also do any 807 02:00:02,068 --> 02:00:09,737 of these repairs that board was contemplating. Doing? But not 808 02:00:09,737 --> 02:00:15,695 the Dutch. All right, guys, I think it's a good 809 02:00:15,695 --> 02:00:19,909 idea. I'm reading between lines since they don't want to 810 02:00:19,909 --> 02:00:23,957 pay what we're in charge. They won't want to pay 811 02:00:23,957 --> 02:00:28,117 none. They change their name. I mean, they're corporations. I 812 02:00:28,117 --> 02:00:32,008 have a whole bunch of employees, I think. One of 813 02:00:32,008 --> 02:00:35,751 the things that they're used to is paying rent. Well, 814 02:00:35,751 --> 02:00:39,883 they're also used to getting subsidies from municipalities, too. And 815 02:00:39,883 --> 02:00:43,123 I think if that's a conversation that we're going to 816 02:00:43,123 --> 02:00:46,028 be having, One of the things that came out of 817 02:00:46,028 --> 02:00:48,988 the EDC survey that we did with people would like 818 02:00:48,988 --> 02:00:51,948 to see more medical services provided, so that would be 819 02:00:51,948 --> 02:00:55,097 a good thing. One of them would be sort of 820 02:00:55,097 --> 02:00:58,217 a walk in clinic, or at least some hours, and 821 02:00:58,217 --> 02:01:01,577 so. That's where, if they want to negotiate, then that's 822 02:01:01,577 --> 02:01:04,217 where I'd be. Looking to negotiate, but they have to 823 02:01:04,217 --> 02:01:09,645 give us some things that maybe we monitor unity. And 824 02:01:09,645 --> 02:01:12,203 that. They would like to see. Other than that, I 825 02:01:12,203 --> 02:01:15,737 think it's great. If they're lucky to provide more services 826 02:01:15,737 --> 02:01:19,511 here, that's a good thing. One of their employees may 827 02:01:19,511 --> 02:01:22,911 be somebody that is experienced in negotiating or try to 828 02:01:22,911 --> 02:01:27,402 negotiate cheaper rent. Well, that's the thing. I don't know 829 02:01:27,402 --> 02:01:29,522 how many employees they have, but I. Would say they 830 02:01:29,522 --> 02:01:34,238 have a whole bunch that aren't in providing pay. We 831 02:01:34,238 --> 02:01:39,831 can't afford to do this, but. All these employees that. 832 02:01:40,790 --> 02:01:44,229 Aren't actually doing anything to generate revenue. But I know 833 02:01:44,229 --> 02:01:46,349 they do sort of have some prevail. I get that, 834 02:01:46,349 --> 02:01:54,428 too. It certainly would be nice to have some. Somecillary 835 02:01:54,428 --> 02:01:59,866 services in there. Pass those that way. My only question 836 02:01:59,866 --> 02:02:08,985 or concern is the end date. Upstairs. Whatever. Upstairs. 837 02:02:10,461 --> 02:02:14,285 Yeah, upstairs. If they had signed me up the new 838 02:02:14,285 --> 02:02:16,965 updated one for upstairs and they were asking to keep 839 02:02:16,965 --> 02:02:21,333 the bottom empty for 34515. If the lack of leaks 840 02:02:21,333 --> 02:02:25,502 upstairs that makes me go. When I would want to 841 02:02:25,502 --> 02:02:27,782 put an endmate on it that we have answered, that 842 02:02:27,782 --> 02:02:30,022 would be the biggest thing. I feel a lot more 843 02:02:30,022 --> 02:02:33,822 comfortable. We have a further ending of the upstairs assigned. 844 02:02:33,822 --> 02:02:39,426 But, like, September. One. I don't know what their I 845 02:02:39,426 --> 02:02:41,786 think funding is hard to get, but things were in 846 02:02:41,786 --> 02:02:45,551 a tough spot, too. The competition was that they would 847 02:02:45,551 --> 02:02:51,286 know by basically end of October. Mid fall. They would 848 02:02:51,286 --> 02:02:53,926 have this all in place. I think they would know 849 02:02:53,926 --> 02:02:57,352 earlier if it was going to follow. But they could 850 02:02:57,352 --> 02:03:00,632 seem fairly confident, better, more confident than I've heard them 851 02:03:00,632 --> 02:03:03,712 talk about the same thing ever. So my only thing 852 02:03:03,712 --> 02:03:05,752 that would be. I don't think it's. Unreasonable for us 853 02:03:05,752 --> 02:03:11,706 to ask to sign the upstairs win and. Emotionally divide. 854 02:03:11,706 --> 02:03:15,624 Whatever the thing we would consider a full. Change in 855 02:03:15,624 --> 02:03:18,464 that lease at the time for a fully, if it 856 02:03:18,464 --> 02:03:23,474 were to go ahead, I think that's. Prudent management. We've 857 02:03:23,474 --> 02:03:26,852 done a bunch of changes there. To be better landlords. 858 02:03:28,780 --> 02:03:31,060 If they would find it. If we gave them reassurance, 859 02:03:31,060 --> 02:03:33,100 we would review it at the full time if they 860 02:03:33,100 --> 02:03:37,538 went full building. I'd be kind of happy, but that'd 861 02:03:37,538 --> 02:03:47,258 be just fine. We could dump out. Of. Thank you, 862 02:03:47,258 --> 02:03:50,938 I guess. Sorry, was there any discussion that if they 863 02:03:50,938 --> 02:03:53,778 didn't get funding, what? Their intentions were then with the 864 02:03:53,778 --> 02:03:58,243 current space. Just stamps it. I would definitely echo accounts 865 02:03:58,243 --> 02:04:01,243 for a lot of them because there's really nothing hindering 866 02:04:01,243 --> 02:04:04,857 them at this point. Signing it. And the more comfortable 867 02:04:04,857 --> 02:04:08,293 putting in some sort of clause regarding. The discussion or 868 02:04:08,293 --> 02:04:12,962 whatever. I'm inclusive funding. But, yeah, there's no reason they 869 02:04:12,962 --> 02:04:15,742 shouldn't find it. How often is it? Mid month to 870 02:04:15,742 --> 02:04:20,486 month. Yeah. But I guess they're month to month at 871 02:04:20,486 --> 02:04:23,246 their previous rate, and we're proposing that rate increase or 872 02:04:23,246 --> 02:04:28,050 we not discuss that later. Significantly. Yeah, because they weren't 873 02:04:28,050 --> 02:04:28,930 paying value, right? 874 02:04:41,353 --> 02:04:48,995 The amount of problem that must have. No. We don't 875 02:04:48,995 --> 02:04:51,235 want to play around trading. So by need your direction, 876 02:04:51,235 --> 02:04:58,432 our tax. I'm looking at James. I'm with these. And 877 02:04:58,432 --> 02:05:00,072 then we need to put a, we need to put 878 02:05:00,072 --> 02:05:04,688 a day down when they're. With the top ended here. 879 02:05:04,688 --> 02:05:09,005 I think it should open ended. Or even. Or even 880 02:05:09,005 --> 02:05:12,470 to at least provide updates. Right, like provide an update 881 02:05:12,470 --> 02:05:17,557 in three months time. Here's where we're at. We? Whatever 882 02:05:17,557 --> 02:05:21,891 day that is. First meeting in December. 883 02:05:30,968 --> 02:05:37,378 They'll get this and then they'll probably. I think we 884 02:05:37,378 --> 02:05:40,018 set out what we would like to see from them. 885 02:05:40,018 --> 02:05:41,658 And if they don't? Like it. I'm sure they'll tell 886 02:05:41,658 --> 02:05:50,025 me. So. 887 02:05:52,970 --> 02:05:55,050 We're receiving a full word. And further that council where 888 02:05:55,050 --> 02:06:04,534 you can hold off securing lease. Below. Highland Health 889 02:06:04,534 --> 02:06:14,492 Network to provide or to provide. And 890 02:06:14,492 --> 02:06:17,650 update. We have that further than but for that. 891 02:06:23,535 --> 02:06:29,597 Will agree to hold off securing the lease. To give 892 02:06:29,597 --> 02:06:32,757 them time to finalize plans for them, to provide an 893 02:06:32,757 --> 02:06:41,012 update. At. The September. 9th. 894 02:06:43,077 --> 02:06:53,049 Only 2025 meeting. There's no 895 02:06:53,049 --> 02:06:57,336 more. Horde. And. 896 02:07:01,645 --> 02:07:07,889 Further about. The. I don't know if we proceeded amendedly. 897 02:07:10,481 --> 02:07:17,055 So further, the council direct staff to. What are we 898 02:07:17,055 --> 02:07:21,455 directing our patents to GAo to secure the lead for 899 02:07:21,455 --> 02:07:29,747 the upper. Level. To. What? Here. 900 02:07:46,475 --> 02:07:56,374 The space currently occupied or for the upper level. Upper. 901 02:07:59,302 --> 02:08:04,890 Level. As soon as possible. By the end of the 902 02:08:04,890 --> 02:08:10,807 month. I know it's not located, but it's dragged on. 903 02:08:13,617 --> 02:08:15,537 I think it would be all of it done and 904 02:08:15,537 --> 02:08:19,257 updated for the September 9 meeting because it'll take me 905 02:08:19,257 --> 02:08:20,617 going back to them, and they're going to want to 906 02:08:20,617 --> 02:08:22,417 go to their lawyer in their insurance again, and they're 907 02:08:22,417 --> 02:08:25,782 going to want to make sure that everybody's happy. Not 908 02:08:25,782 --> 02:08:31,921 if we put some more hitches on it. Right now, 909 02:08:31,921 --> 02:08:35,244 we're not. I don't think this is two and a 910 02:08:35,244 --> 02:08:37,484 half weeks is going to be enough time. We need 911 02:08:37,484 --> 02:08:42,656 something to motivate them to get. Any other landlord would 912 02:08:42,656 --> 02:08:46,093 have kicked it home by the home. We have a 913 02:08:46,093 --> 02:08:50,056 VC grammar. So that's it? We just do that? And 914 02:08:50,056 --> 02:08:54,208 if they have any issues. The lawyer could always donate 915 02:08:54,208 --> 02:08:57,408 amendment or throw in an additional cause to reflect this. 916 02:08:57,408 --> 02:08:59,688 That makes everyone happy other than. Or they can just 917 02:08:59,688 --> 02:09:04,512 sign upstairs. And further that if there is a problem 918 02:09:04,512 --> 02:09:11,536 with the lease, they delegate to council. I would stick 919 02:09:11,536 --> 02:09:17,906 with. Sign they. Proposedly before the amount of money. I 920 02:09:17,906 --> 02:09:20,066 know, but I'm saying we're reading. You know what I 921 02:09:20,066 --> 02:09:26,759 mean? I don't think that by the end of the 922 02:09:26,759 --> 02:09:35,711 month even. Further, that council invites them to come to 923 02:09:35,711 --> 02:09:44,176 discuss. If it's about money. We can zoom teams in 924 02:09:44,176 --> 02:09:54,114 Darth. Vader we want. 925 02:09:55,797 --> 02:10:01,197 And I'm sure they want to stay. Happy. To lead 926 02:10:01,197 --> 02:10:01,237 to. 927 02:10:11,195 --> 02:10:17,045 Medical, dental. Who are no longer. Worthy of my blessings. 928 02:10:40,981 --> 02:10:44,175 But. Yeah. 929 02:10:52,925 --> 02:10:57,699 You went from no time. You went from 3000 a 930 02:10:57,699 --> 02:11:01,884 month. We didn't really increase beliefs a whole lot. We 931 02:11:01,884 --> 02:11:11,100 just started leaping paper stuff. The request is for 31,000 932 02:11:11,100 --> 02:11:19,306 a year. I think you were maybe collecting 1213. But 933 02:11:19,306 --> 02:11:21,906 that was the intent, was that it was community service, 934 02:11:21,906 --> 02:11:30,826 Frank. It's 935 02:11:30,826 --> 02:11:40,116 2600 per month, plus tax. Taxi. Wasn't a huge. 936 02:11:46,994 --> 02:11:53,583 Deal. I have that, yeah. They have not sent me 937 02:11:53,583 --> 02:11:58,515 anything formal to send him a boat. They can't just 938 02:11:58,515 --> 02:12:00,593 keep dragging her. Read it, see if it makes sense. 939 02:12:02,502 --> 02:12:05,124 It's legible. If I can actually see. 940 02:12:12,568 --> 02:12:13,048 We have to include something. 941 02:12:23,308 --> 02:12:25,068 No. If they don't provide an update, then we move 942 02:12:25,068 --> 02:12:31,639 on. We should tell. This just says finalized land, blah 943 02:12:31,639 --> 02:12:34,799 blah, blah. To provide an update at the December 9 944 02:12:34,799 --> 02:12:40,539 council meeting. But it doesn't say. Oral. Well, I think 945 02:12:40,539 --> 02:12:42,699 if we don't get an update by then, we will 946 02:12:42,699 --> 02:12:46,099 send a letter. Saying, as long as it's cool and 947 02:12:46,099 --> 02:12:50,226 everyone's happy. How do they want you to write more? 948 02:12:50,226 --> 02:12:56,313 But I'd like to. Grab alley once. Keep doctors, doctors 949 02:12:56,313 --> 02:12:59,553 in Grand Valley. And whereas we want a lease for 950 02:12:59,553 --> 02:13:05,592 our building. If the precedent would leave. Track. We need 951 02:13:05,592 --> 02:13:08,672 to add a bit of. I don't want to get 952 02:13:08,672 --> 02:13:16,580 some sales. At the beginning, right? I know. 953 02:13:21,286 --> 02:13:22,726 The one good thing about county council is they give 954 02:13:22,726 --> 02:13:28,395 you really good path. Whereas. The town of Grand Valley. 955 02:13:40,780 --> 02:13:42,780 I don't have county money that I just want to 956 02:13:42,780 --> 02:13:45,140 spend on. No, that's the thing. You got to go 957 02:13:45,140 --> 02:13:53,302 to the county to get the baseline. Tomorrow. Thursday. Bring 958 02:13:53,302 --> 02:14:02,501 your pocket three. Yeah, dinner is a quiet. 959 02:14:03,827 --> 02:14:07,484 See what I can do. I should have just started. 960 02:14:10,015 --> 02:14:18,294 Twelve is my daughter's birthday. I'm going to apologize to 961 02:14:18,294 --> 02:14:21,959 you in advance. Okay. 962 02:14:29,059 --> 02:14:30,459 At least you can follow along with that. 963 02:14:41,934 --> 02:14:51,261 Commercial. So soon did the great building. Okay. 964 02:14:53,909 --> 02:14:56,389 I think fact covers it. Not skinny, a little messy. 965 02:14:58,255 --> 02:15:01,224 You may have to call me. As long as Americans 966 02:15:01,224 --> 02:15:05,425 read it. Send me an email to you. I don't 967 02:15:05,425 --> 02:15:10,344 know if he'll be able to. Agree. Degree, time. 968 02:15:20,566 --> 02:15:21,446 This doesn't get correct. 969 02:15:36,872 --> 02:15:43,390 I am missing a word. If. 970 02:15:48,896 --> 02:15:54,243 They. If they provide an update. That makes a hell 971 02:15:54,243 --> 02:16:00,143 of a lot more. See what happens. I have a 972 02:16:00,143 --> 02:16:03,383 motion to move by designer Ranch, seconded by council Bajar. 973 02:16:03,383 --> 02:16:06,619 Where is the town of Cran valley, which. To have 974 02:16:06,619 --> 02:16:13,045 the provision of medical services. In this community, whereas. The 975 02:16:13,045 --> 02:16:16,285 town. The town of Grand Valley wishes to lease of 976 02:16:16,285 --> 02:16:21,354 commercialism. Building being resolved, the council receives the report. Island 977 02:16:21,354 --> 02:16:27,404 used Highland network use of special. Space. Sorry. At medical 978 02:16:27,404 --> 02:16:30,484 center. Medical centers. And, for instance, the council agrees to 979 02:16:30,484 --> 02:16:36,125 hold off on securing. At least the lower levels to 980 02:16:36,125 --> 02:16:41,526 give island health network. The time requested to finalize plans 981 02:16:41,526 --> 02:16:46,967 for expanded medical services in our community. If they provide 982 02:16:46,967 --> 02:16:53,319 an update. At the September 9, 2025 council meeting. And 983 02:16:53,319 --> 02:16:57,958 further, the council directs CAO. To secure a lease agreement 984 02:16:57,958 --> 02:17:00,038 for the upper level by the end of June 2025, 985 02:17:00,038 --> 02:17:08,211 and therefore. And for that, if Highland. Health network has 986 02:17:08,211 --> 02:17:11,811 concerns with police. They are encouraged to delegate to council 987 02:17:11,811 --> 02:17:21,713 at their earliest convenience. Only back to the printed 988 02:17:21,713 --> 02:17:25,033 section where we delay the curing. Elise, I would like 989 02:17:25,033 --> 02:17:29,397 to put. It like the end of the year. Because 990 02:17:29,397 --> 02:17:34,084 if they don't, because the way it's written is. We'll 991 02:17:34,084 --> 02:17:35,889 delay it, but. We don't tell until when. We just 992 02:17:35,889 --> 02:17:38,049 say we need to fill a thing is up. This. 993 02:17:38,049 --> 02:17:40,809 September 9. That's when you'd like for them to. If 994 02:17:40,809 --> 02:17:43,529 they don't. Provide an update by the September 9, and 995 02:17:43,529 --> 02:17:47,301 we're sending the lender saying you're done. I think that. 996 02:17:49,532 --> 02:17:56,057 's clear. The lean from the other stairs. By the 997 02:17:56,057 --> 02:17:59,977 end of month or Valley gate. Yeah, it does give 998 02:17:59,977 --> 02:18:02,857 them two meetings to come because they could be July. 999 02:18:02,857 --> 02:18:05,934 The first meeting of July. I was going to be 1000 02:18:05,934 --> 02:18:10,719 a little more generous on the year, but. They're updated. 1001 02:18:10,719 --> 02:18:17,229 September. We need another month. We want to work them 1002 02:18:17,229 --> 02:18:17,589 so conveyor. 1003 02:18:29,281 --> 02:18:34,115 Okay. Next report is just a brief memo on the 1004 02:18:34,115 --> 02:18:43,579 firefighter recruitment. If he goes round and around. Back again. 1005 02:18:45,392 --> 02:18:48,083 So. There's nothing really to direct on that. Just asking 1006 02:18:48,083 --> 02:18:51,483 to receive their update report, I think. I've passed that 1007 02:18:51,483 --> 02:18:59,514 motion. I trade with film. 1008 02:19:04,722 --> 02:19:11,018 Please don't. For 37 hours. I was just 120 grand. 1009 02:19:11,018 --> 02:19:19,060 I probably go. By councilor guard, second by deputy Ranch. 1010 02:19:19,060 --> 02:19:22,540 It was all the councilor Dees de memo. Firefighter recruitment 1011 02:19:22,540 --> 02:19:32,412 dated June 10, 2025. And. Final report. 1012 02:19:32,412 --> 02:19:37,821 Under me is my progress update. I'm just going through, 1013 02:19:37,821 --> 02:19:45,823 see if I have an update from my update. Doesn't. 1014 02:19:45,823 --> 02:19:48,503 Sewage pumping station. I do have an update. I have. 1015 02:19:52,623 --> 02:19:55,103 Final contract. I know how much security is it has 1016 02:19:55,103 --> 02:20:00,394 to pay. I've given burn size one final review, so 1017 02:20:00,394 --> 02:20:05,841 I expect to be signing that agreement tomorrow. So that 1018 02:20:05,841 --> 02:20:12,086 the hydro. Nightmare will be. Awake from time. I believe 1019 02:20:12,086 --> 02:20:16,565 it when I see the shows. Shovels in the ground 1020 02:20:16,565 --> 02:20:26,506 will not be tomorrow. Yes. That's 1021 02:20:26,506 --> 02:20:28,346 one. Just note that we were not successful on the 1022 02:20:28,346 --> 02:20:31,386 grant application for the arena. Room. One of the two 1023 02:20:31,386 --> 02:20:34,466 we submitted. The first one was not successful. We haven't 1024 02:20:34,466 --> 02:20:43,015 heard. Back on any of the other ones. Any questions? 1025 02:20:46,601 --> 02:20:53,405 Any questions for me? Super. Thank you for you chair. 1026 02:20:53,405 --> 02:21:00,591 The first would be. Fail gravel. Ten is being close 1027 02:21:00,591 --> 02:21:04,109 to being asked. They're not a close session to figure 1028 02:21:04,109 --> 02:21:08,983 out what. Have we done that ones we've been grades 1029 02:21:08,983 --> 02:21:15,450 we've got. That where you received the appraisal? Did we? 1030 02:21:17,090 --> 02:21:22,616 Go down. The specific numbers anymore, but we did. That 1031 02:21:22,616 --> 02:21:30,317 we want to hit or anything like that. The tender 1032 02:21:30,317 --> 02:21:32,797 package always says the council reserves the right to accept 1033 02:21:32,797 --> 02:21:37,004 none of the proposals. We don't ever get to see. 1034 02:21:41,467 --> 02:21:46,556 The laker win in business. But we don't get it 1035 02:21:46,556 --> 02:21:51,322 slacked. Because. That's right. Correct. But. Aw, the minimum would 1036 02:21:51,322 --> 02:21:53,722 be you don't get to execute, and that would hit 1037 02:21:53,722 --> 02:21:57,323 it. I'd have to look back. If you want me 1038 02:21:57,323 --> 02:21:59,643 to bring it back, I was really. Hoping to post 1039 02:21:59,643 --> 02:22:04,632 it this week. Weekend. Carry on. Get whatever we can. 1040 02:22:04,632 --> 02:22:10,140 Be afraid. Another comment. So Grant matches a company that 1041 02:22:10,140 --> 02:22:12,940 raised grants? Yes, I already have a contract with them. 1042 02:22:16,087 --> 02:22:17,847 We haven't been very successful in the last few, and 1043 02:22:17,847 --> 02:22:21,504 I wondered. It's only. Because. Another council in eastern Ontario. 1044 02:22:23,100 --> 02:22:26,020 Used to edit the housing stuff. They're so competitive. The 1045 02:22:26,020 --> 02:22:29,432 whether or not we look at the housing ones. Whether 1046 02:22:29,432 --> 02:22:31,192 or not that's an option. I don't know what we 1047 02:22:31,192 --> 02:22:35,292 use. We get updates from them, but we've never used 1048 02:22:35,292 --> 02:22:38,783 them. I kind of made that my call because they 1049 02:22:38,783 --> 02:22:42,985 charge 10% to 15%. So if you get a grant 1050 02:22:42,985 --> 02:22:48,908 for a million, they make 150,000. Or $100,000. 1051 02:22:56,043 --> 02:22:58,523 The grant that we have been applying for are mostly 1052 02:22:58,523 --> 02:23:03,088 engineering grants, so it's all about the technical stuff. How 1053 02:23:03,088 --> 02:23:08,486 grant? What they do. That might add to earn 100,000 1054 02:23:08,486 --> 02:23:14,195 I haven't really seen. The proof. Dog count. 1055 02:23:19,423 --> 02:23:22,263 Direction or you're requesting until the end of September, and 1056 02:23:22,263 --> 02:23:27,117 it's all. As long as you give us patience. We're 1057 02:23:27,117 --> 02:23:29,477 working away at it. We were hoping to. Get further 1058 02:23:29,477 --> 02:23:32,157 that week, we would end with the two big rainy 1059 02:23:32,157 --> 02:23:37,434 days. We didn't go anywhere. On it. As we said. 1060 02:23:37,434 --> 02:23:39,114 We would have had the whole village done if we 1061 02:23:39,114 --> 02:23:43,801 hadn't. Had rain and rain. When you asked. First we 1062 02:23:43,801 --> 02:23:49,456 had the subs. Subsidiary dogs that are visiting, that kind 1063 02:23:49,456 --> 02:23:52,053 of stuff, all that stuff. Yes. 1064 02:24:02,247 --> 02:24:11,879 Building. I'm going to report back on that. They've presented 1065 02:24:11,879 --> 02:24:14,319 a draft, correct? So we have draft as there are 1066 02:24:14,319 --> 02:24:20,419 big discussions. At staff level. About. Council to come back 1067 02:24:20,419 --> 02:24:30,109 with a report. Other municipalities. Are the only misspiving that 1068 02:24:30,109 --> 02:24:33,309 I know that has taken anything lately is mono, and 1069 02:24:33,309 --> 02:24:37,792 they decided to stay with the county. Where there's. Nothing. 1070 02:24:38,654 --> 02:24:43,428 Yeah. I just. Without coinciding, I wonder. We have four. 1071 02:24:45,263 --> 02:24:47,543 Months. We'll call it forward because we should make a 1072 02:24:47,543 --> 02:24:55,241 decision. It'd be nice to. Do agreements with Amran. We 1073 02:24:55,241 --> 02:25:00,890 shall be when you get a report. Anything else? What 1074 02:25:00,890 --> 02:25:08,578 was that? Fire one? Yeah, that's public works. You're grabbing 1075 02:25:08,578 --> 02:25:15,783 off my pile. Of tissues. 1076 02:25:22,536 --> 02:25:25,256 Taken by Lauren here so that council receives the report. 1077 02:25:25,256 --> 02:25:33,053 CAO Progress update information purposes. All in favor? That's it 1078 02:25:33,053 --> 02:25:40,992 for me. Thank you. There was one thing there. Sorry. 1079 02:25:42,443 --> 02:25:46,523 There's a meeting on the Twelveth. Yes. Anybody call? I 1080 02:25:46,523 --> 02:25:50,448 do need to have confirmation. If you are going. Strongly 1081 02:25:50,448 --> 02:25:54,919 hoping that everybody. Will. I have heard for sure from 1082 02:25:54,919 --> 02:26:01,650 one. No. The county all council meeting. 1083 02:26:06,336 --> 02:26:12,705 Planning. Another. 70 30. There's dinner at five. I won't 1084 02:26:12,705 --> 02:26:16,707 be going to that. I didn't know I asked you, 1085 02:26:16,707 --> 02:26:19,147 but I'm treating it like a county council. Meeting. Well, 1086 02:26:19,147 --> 02:26:27,684 if that's how you've been guided, then perfect. No. Only 1087 02:26:27,684 --> 02:26:37,203 in person. Because it's at. But I'm assuming I'll be 1088 02:26:37,203 --> 02:26:41,344 there to hunt your way up. Let me know. What's 1089 02:26:41,344 --> 02:26:49,777 my question? Okay, moving on. 12.2. Director of public Works 1090 02:26:49,777 --> 02:26:55,319 Matt. Just update or. What's the update on? Basically, mostly 1091 02:26:55,319 --> 02:27:01,675 operations. So the month of May, it seemed like all 1092 02:27:01,675 --> 02:27:07,723 we did was create Rose and Berry. Bonnie. Bonnie. On 1093 02:27:07,723 --> 02:27:15,403 in the road. Don't take that out of context. So 1094 02:27:15,403 --> 02:27:19,283 very busy, very busy month in the soundtrack, but I 1095 02:27:19,283 --> 02:27:28,556 know go through my stuff. This important. We had. 1096 02:27:31,018 --> 02:27:34,538 About spring grade done. And calcium underway. We have two 1097 02:27:34,538 --> 02:27:38,858 more. Full loads left tomorrow morning 05:00 a.m. and Thursday 1098 02:27:38,858 --> 02:27:42,542 morning 05:00 a.m. And waiting on a truck and pop 1099 02:27:42,542 --> 02:27:47,774 next Thursday to tidy up like dead end. And the. 1100 02:27:49,714 --> 02:27:52,480 Parking lot Sunday. Little place that we calcium that aren't 1101 02:27:52,480 --> 02:27:58,618 really good spots for large transport trucks. The north shop 1102 02:27:58,618 --> 02:28:02,858 renovation is coming along quite nicely. We ran into a 1103 02:28:02,858 --> 02:28:06,338 couple of hiccups. With water damage. Years and years of 1104 02:28:06,338 --> 02:28:12,868 water damage, water. Pouring in the windows mostly, and. That's 1105 02:28:12,868 --> 02:28:15,068 what kind of spurred us to start this renovation. And 1106 02:28:15,068 --> 02:28:17,948 sure enough, we come across quite a bit of damage 1107 02:28:17,948 --> 02:28:23,057 in the. Walls so. We just kind of dedicate it 1108 02:28:23,057 --> 02:28:28,190 as we went. Across the cost effective decisions as well. 1109 02:28:30,363 --> 02:28:32,403 Quick manufacturing, I think is going to serve us for 1110 02:28:32,403 --> 02:28:37,032 a long time for what we need. Not in space 1111 02:28:37,032 --> 02:28:41,152 for equipment per se, but for staff and mushroom trade 1112 02:28:41,152 --> 02:28:44,352 route, that sort of thing. And so we're kind of 1113 02:28:44,352 --> 02:28:49,041 bring we grow into theirs. Then back to the cemetery. 1114 02:28:50,158 --> 02:28:54,049 Seven full bodies, one cremation. That was a lot of 1115 02:28:54,049 --> 02:29:01,671 stop time. The truth? Bridge maintenance. Is how the report 1116 02:29:01,671 --> 02:29:05,271 was written. Was slowly getting underway. We put a pretty 1117 02:29:05,271 --> 02:29:09,109 good dent in it. So far. The new water truck 1118 02:29:09,109 --> 02:29:12,749 with reel and hose has come in quite handy with 1119 02:29:12,749 --> 02:29:19,552 washing bridges along with other maintenance items. As specified. Manual 1120 02:29:19,552 --> 02:29:27,466 from 2023. Coming up. We want to prep main and 1121 02:29:27,466 --> 02:29:33,351 water for the double micro surface application. Those of you 1122 02:29:33,351 --> 02:29:36,231 that don't know the gip asphalt plant, otherwise, the old 1123 02:29:36,231 --> 02:29:46,208 Greenwood actual plant over. 20. Burned down. Probably. 1124 02:29:47,402 --> 02:29:50,882 About six weeks ago now, which kind of hampers us. 1125 02:29:50,882 --> 02:29:53,682 Not that we were a huge asphalt consumer here at 1126 02:29:53,682 --> 02:29:55,642 the town, but it was handy to be able to 1127 02:29:55,642 --> 02:29:59,042 go over and get small. Quantities of hot asphalt to 1128 02:29:59,042 --> 02:30:03,322 do better repairs than just using cold patch, so I 1129 02:30:03,322 --> 02:30:07,102 had to change. Gears a little bit. The Cambridge area 1130 02:30:07,102 --> 02:30:12,721 that I've agreed to work with. They have a hot 1131 02:30:12,721 --> 02:30:17,539 box and. They come from the job daily. For three 1132 02:30:17,539 --> 02:30:19,139 or four days, whatever we need in a row to 1133 02:30:19,139 --> 02:30:22,739 be able to complete these prepares. With a small farm. 1134 02:30:22,739 --> 02:30:25,019 Probably wrote two ton of astronaut, which would work for 1135 02:30:25,019 --> 02:30:26,459 us for the day. To be able to do what 1136 02:30:26,459 --> 02:30:32,588 we need to do. So anyhow. I'm looking to have 1137 02:30:32,588 --> 02:30:36,348 that done hopefully in July and be ready for the 1138 02:30:36,348 --> 02:30:46,105 micro surface. August. Other than that. Continue with our routine 1139 02:30:46,105 --> 02:30:52,641 stuff. I just wanted the town. More and more. Needs. 1140 02:30:53,432 --> 02:30:57,639 Every time you turn around. With the kinds of people 1141 02:30:57,639 --> 02:31:02,186 that are visiting here and we can use here. Prison, 1142 02:31:02,186 --> 02:31:03,786 for instance. It was parked in. Must have been a 1143 02:31:03,786 --> 02:31:08,338 large family. Gathering down there, and you were nice enough 1144 02:31:08,338 --> 02:31:11,298 to be just about four big bags of garbage over. 1145 02:31:11,298 --> 02:31:15,443 The weekend. That. Full of scrap food that got tore 1146 02:31:15,443 --> 02:31:19,113 up. So we come across stuff like that on Monday 1147 02:31:19,113 --> 02:31:26,703 mornings. Flower water. Is 6 hours. At a time times 1148 02:31:26,703 --> 02:31:28,743 three times a week. If you're not fortunate enough to 1149 02:31:28,743 --> 02:31:33,509 have some. Rain, so these are just. Make you aware 1150 02:31:33,509 --> 02:31:39,307 of stop time it takes just really. Kind of minor. 1151 02:31:39,555 --> 02:31:45,759 For beautification purposes per se. Other than that, that's all 1152 02:31:45,759 --> 02:31:52,756 I have. Anyway, say questions for that. When I started. 1153 02:31:52,756 --> 02:31:55,196 What I said about Herewood park is just an example 1154 02:31:55,196 --> 02:31:59,576 of them for coming. Across. My name's become greater seems. 1155 02:32:03,359 --> 02:32:09,263 Through you chair. I will just make a comment. That 1156 02:32:09,263 --> 02:32:14,382 public works week. Or Google. Just put it on a 1157 02:32:14,382 --> 02:32:17,022 reader. I think we should do something to highlight that. 1158 02:32:19,463 --> 02:32:20,663 A lot of work and a lot of work we 1159 02:32:20,663 --> 02:32:22,823 don't see. And I think it should be recognized during 1160 02:32:22,823 --> 02:32:25,223 that week because we try and do some of these 1161 02:32:25,223 --> 02:32:28,383 have to turn them the other things, but next year 1162 02:32:28,383 --> 02:32:35,377 we should have. I feel. Recognized in some way, even 1163 02:32:35,377 --> 02:32:45,206 if it's lunch. Nothing on the report. Anyone. Question about. 1164 02:32:48,953 --> 02:32:55,830 You said. Thy true bridges. I hope you're not. Scott, 1165 02:32:55,830 --> 02:33:00,506 but it's a narrow blade. Bridges. Because I was curious 1166 02:33:00,506 --> 02:33:05,728 as to why some breaches Gotham is hunted. It's the 1167 02:33:05,728 --> 02:33:10,855 requirement of the wisdom attack. So I thought my head 1168 02:33:10,855 --> 02:33:18,271 lose. Sign. 1169 02:33:20,932 --> 02:33:26,501 When it comes to these bridge. Maintenance projects. I refer 1170 02:33:26,501 --> 02:33:29,141 directly to the old set. Right. And what I think 1171 02:33:29,141 --> 02:33:32,141 I have five or six out of that 2023 report. 1172 02:33:33,736 --> 02:33:37,360 That required some inch, and they all got signage. Okay. 1173 02:33:39,187 --> 02:33:41,227 We haven't installed any yet. 1174 02:33:51,968 --> 02:33:54,808 I'm glad that we step with the way. We have 1175 02:33:54,808 --> 02:33:59,276 an on point project. The reason I asked is because 1176 02:33:59,276 --> 02:34:02,156 I was really surprised that it was solved at one, 1177 02:34:02,156 --> 02:34:07,044 but not right around the corner of the. Information, the 1178 02:34:07,044 --> 02:34:10,044 fact that the road is already narrowed as it so. 1179 02:34:21,118 --> 02:34:25,316 We try to cultivate the tuck in last year. With 1180 02:34:25,316 --> 02:34:31,922 its full intentions of fulfilling. That has the recommendation. I 1181 02:34:31,922 --> 02:34:40,146 don't know if it's dramatic, but council. Just south of 1182 02:34:40,146 --> 02:34:43,786 the bridge of the main street south, there's a sign 1183 02:34:43,786 --> 02:34:49,926 that says death. Child warning. I think there's been a 1184 02:34:49,926 --> 02:34:55,132 couple of transactions after in that house. I've often wondered 1185 02:34:55,132 --> 02:34:59,317 about that time. There was still any deaf children. Mother 1186 02:34:59,317 --> 02:35:02,806 in the community down there. I think they moved down. 1187 02:35:04,477 --> 02:35:09,612 What is the requirement to get it? I've never been 1188 02:35:09,612 --> 02:35:13,924 involved in that, is there? I drive by it every 1189 02:35:13,924 --> 02:35:15,964 day and I don't know who the duck is. We 1190 02:35:15,964 --> 02:35:17,524 don't. Need to know, but. I don't know if there 1191 02:35:17,524 --> 02:35:21,362 was a request, but. Whoever made that request when they 1192 02:35:21,362 --> 02:35:25,023 moved in, that family is gone. And that the house 1193 02:35:25,023 --> 02:35:29,508 is transacted a couple of times already since then. Let 1194 02:35:29,508 --> 02:35:30,988 me actually look at that, see if there's a bylaw. 1195 02:35:39,831 --> 02:35:44,187 We have to change. The common measure, though, for sure. 1196 02:35:51,346 --> 02:35:59,687 Just be. Well, they're not. Let me. Get that? 1197 02:36:01,225 --> 02:36:05,091 I can go. The children in play signs. Of that. 1198 02:36:05,091 --> 02:36:07,091 There's a kind of campaign a few years ago that 1199 02:36:07,091 --> 02:36:09,531 minimized those because they're really supposed to be surround school. 1200 02:36:13,595 --> 02:36:20,232 Where they were miss College, but. Plug them out. All 1201 02:36:20,232 --> 02:36:23,434 right. Thanks, Matt. The only other question I had because 1202 02:36:23,434 --> 02:36:27,154 you brought up this shop. Renovation. How is the Ozil? 1203 02:36:27,154 --> 02:36:31,731 Money rep. Repeat. So me and I were supposed to 1204 02:36:31,731 --> 02:36:35,191 be last week. It's going to be a priority in 1205 02:36:35,191 --> 02:36:41,102 the next week or two. To. Where's the chili? 1206 02:36:48,307 --> 02:36:50,187 Sick of my genes. Through zone the council receipts the 1207 02:36:50,187 --> 02:36:55,091 Public Works update may 2025 for. Information group. 1208 02:37:01,587 --> 02:37:06,274 Planning. More tourist. Mark? Yeah. I just have my update 1209 02:37:06,274 --> 02:37:10,702 report in front of you. Questions from council, which is 1210 02:37:10,702 --> 02:37:19,501 the manager of the planning. Have we ever had a 1211 02:37:19,501 --> 02:37:21,381 month where there's no new application? 1212 02:37:29,765 --> 02:37:33,205 There's a lot of inquiries, but they don't translate into 1213 02:37:33,205 --> 02:37:37,749 applications. There's been a lot of inquiries on a lot 1214 02:37:37,749 --> 02:37:41,816 of different property. And a lot of them are for 1215 02:37:41,816 --> 02:37:44,456 pre consultation like I had before. I actually have formal 1216 02:37:44,456 --> 02:37:49,456 pre confrontation that just went out, whether that translates into 1217 02:37:49,456 --> 02:37:53,615 an application or not. Value. So there are a lot 1218 02:37:53,615 --> 02:37:56,015 of inquiries. I mean, I don't put that in my. 1219 02:37:56,015 --> 02:37:59,495 Monthly. If you'd like me to, I can. But a 1220 02:37:59,495 --> 02:38:03,169 lot of inquiries. Just struck me. I don't know that 1221 02:38:03,169 --> 02:38:05,209 I never see a report that said no new application. 1222 02:38:14,475 --> 02:38:20,386 One question. And again, excuse my ignorance. I'm not too 1223 02:38:20,386 --> 02:38:25,744 sure where I should be asking this. Sim's funeral. So 1224 02:38:25,744 --> 02:38:31,297 what's happening with that? I've heard. Numerous different things. And 1225 02:38:31,297 --> 02:38:33,137 if one of them is true, then I don't know 1226 02:38:33,137 --> 02:38:37,640 if it is actually allowed from what? They're. Mr. Mayor 1227 02:38:37,640 --> 02:38:42,692 today. Should be in school approval for the conversion upstairs. 1228 02:38:44,680 --> 02:38:51,853 To two units. Downstairs. To two units, two studio units 1229 02:38:51,853 --> 02:38:56,396 and three commercial units. Are we allowing residential notes on 1230 02:38:56,396 --> 02:39:03,730 the first floor? Yeah, pretty much your chair. And he's 1231 02:39:03,730 --> 02:39:09,420 permitting the violent. It has to be behind. The commercial. 1232 02:39:09,420 --> 02:39:12,943 So if we take. Main street as the front of 1233 02:39:12,943 --> 02:39:16,207 the building. They can be behind. It's on a corner, 1234 02:39:16,207 --> 02:39:22,848 so they will front out. They go front. Onto them, 1235 02:39:22,848 --> 02:39:26,538 but that uses for me. If we have one, there's 1236 02:39:26,538 --> 02:39:29,138 another one. I can't remember where that was specifically. The 1237 02:39:29,138 --> 02:39:36,097 bylaw was amended to be behind. The commercial. And then 1238 02:39:36,097 --> 02:39:39,590 one last question. Is the parking for all of those. 1239 02:39:41,326 --> 02:39:45,377 Again. Pilot doesn't require them to have additional parking if 1240 02:39:45,377 --> 02:39:49,123 there's no change in the footprint of the building. So 1241 02:39:49,123 --> 02:39:52,690 much like. The old days hardware that has residential above. 1242 02:39:52,690 --> 02:39:56,130 They do require extra parking. They can require any digital 1243 02:39:56,130 --> 02:39:58,813 parking. They can change, use. 1244 02:40:08,942 --> 02:40:11,942 Permitted. So they didn't require a public. It didn't require 1245 02:40:11,942 --> 02:40:16,104 a public process. The use is permitted. It only comes 1246 02:40:16,104 --> 02:40:22,014 through a building permit, municipal approval and allocation. I didn't 1247 02:40:22,014 --> 02:40:27,376 hear what you're saying. There's going to be extra parking 1248 02:40:27,376 --> 02:40:31,846 because you have those residents to follow parking lots. Of. 1249 02:40:35,012 --> 02:40:41,424 People. So just to confirm. So there's still going to 1250 02:40:41,424 --> 02:40:46,358 be commercial? In the front. That's what's been approved. That's 1251 02:40:46,358 --> 02:40:49,147 what's been approved. I don't have it in front of 1252 02:40:49,147 --> 02:40:57,364 me. Yes, commercial. Three commercial units. And I think four 1253 02:40:57,364 --> 02:41:01,824 apartment units. I don't have an issue. Yeah, three commercial 1254 02:41:01,824 --> 02:41:04,344 units at the front, and then on the. Main floor. 1255 02:41:04,344 --> 02:41:06,624 Sorry? On the main floor. That's what the. Three commercial 1256 02:41:06,624 --> 02:41:12,692 units. Three commercial units. And two studio apartments. I'm happy 1257 02:41:12,692 --> 02:41:15,652 to send you the municipal approval and then shows the 1258 02:41:15,652 --> 02:41:21,781 floor plan, but. Then again, I don't know. If they 1259 02:41:21,781 --> 02:41:25,154 put a change into the building department. I haven't received 1260 02:41:25,154 --> 02:41:27,874 a request for an updated municipal approval, so I'm assuming 1261 02:41:27,874 --> 02:41:32,486 they're proceeding with that plan. We didn't know. It was 1262 02:41:32,486 --> 02:41:36,309 dormant for the longest time, and it wasn't until. Came 1263 02:41:36,309 --> 02:41:41,986 in and asked, and I gave them that information. And 1264 02:41:41,986 --> 02:41:43,466 they were upset that they were notified, and they said, 1265 02:41:43,466 --> 02:41:46,106 you don't have to be notified about a building permit. 1266 02:41:46,106 --> 02:41:48,786 Most people aren't upset about that. I think it should 1267 02:41:48,786 --> 02:41:51,626 be. A public process, but it's time I get that 1268 02:41:51,626 --> 02:41:54,106 first. I'm happy to send that to. You can see 1269 02:41:54,106 --> 02:41:57,571 the plan. Do that because I'm looking at that big 1270 02:41:57,571 --> 02:41:59,251 hole and the beast, I'm like, what they're doing there. 1271 02:41:59,251 --> 02:42:08,650 And it's like, what? They stuck. Nobody's business. Part of 1272 02:42:08,650 --> 02:42:14,585 the building permit. Part of the building permit or shore 1273 02:42:14,585 --> 02:42:20,321 up the building or. I don't know. Just wait for 1274 02:42:20,321 --> 02:42:29,023 that place to collapse. I'm serious. There's no floor. 1275 02:42:34,881 --> 02:42:38,121 Well, I mean, building, county building officials have to do 1276 02:42:38,121 --> 02:42:45,179 inspection, so we're not involved. All we do is tissue 1277 02:42:45,179 --> 02:42:47,217 zoning. Okay. All right. Thank you. 1278 02:43:00,538 --> 02:43:04,231 Not a problem. I didn't realize commercial downtown, but. Other 1279 02:43:04,231 --> 02:43:07,773 behind a permitted non residential house. No, it was just 1280 02:43:07,773 --> 02:43:13,545 in the front part. Yes, I will get that over 1281 02:43:13,545 --> 02:43:18,135 here. Moved by Lauren. Second myself being resolved, the council 1282 02:43:18,135 --> 02:43:24,810 received the report PLM 2025. Monthly planning update report, June 1283 02:43:24,810 --> 02:43:31,287 2025. For information purpose. Next on the agenda, director of 1284 02:43:31,287 --> 02:43:34,007 finance, Stevens. Have you anything for us, or you're here? 1285 02:43:34,007 --> 02:43:41,075 Just to answer a question. Just here to answer questions. 1286 02:43:41,075 --> 02:43:50,767 If you have any questions. Okay. Just looking brilliant. 1287 02:43:52,461 --> 02:43:57,431 Bylaw and property standards. Bread is not here. Something's urgent. 1288 02:43:58,167 --> 02:44:02,025 Same with parks and Rec. He's not here to answer 1289 02:44:02,025 --> 02:44:08,658 questions. Public meeting. We don't have ordinance pending. Items wastewater 1290 02:44:08,658 --> 02:44:17,442 flows. Provided. Updates. 1291 02:44:18,956 --> 02:44:25,061 With input from burn size. Since the report was written. 1292 02:44:28,234 --> 02:44:33,280 They have completed some more camera work and found. Some 1293 02:44:33,280 --> 02:44:39,034 more leaks. And. Gives you an idea of what type 1294 02:44:39,034 --> 02:44:43,808 of leaks they found. A video that they would like 1295 02:44:43,808 --> 02:44:46,128 you to just see. It's a very short list. Just 1296 02:44:46,128 --> 02:44:48,728 to give you a sense of what these leaks are. 1297 02:44:48,728 --> 02:44:51,288 When Jeff said, would you say eight garden hoses running. 1298 02:44:53,526 --> 02:44:54,966 This is one of the leaks that they found. So 1299 02:44:54,966 --> 02:44:59,791 let's just give Donna to sort out the technology. It's 1300 02:44:59,791 --> 02:45:09,023 not very long. Okay, that looks pretty. 1301 02:45:11,693 --> 02:45:18,187 That's a big leak. For your war card. So. Emma. 1302 02:45:20,599 --> 02:45:26,106 One of the plugs on Elm Street. Drexler. Some of 1303 02:45:26,106 --> 02:45:28,786 that also in progress to get those fixed and ensure 1304 02:45:28,786 --> 02:45:33,741 that those. Are the. And they will follow up with 1305 02:45:33,741 --> 02:45:39,663 another remo at the next. Any questions on that? Just 1306 02:45:39,663 --> 02:45:44,316 a comment. Appreciate the report. If it's an update early, 1307 02:45:44,316 --> 02:45:46,276 this is quite expensive. I'm not going to know. What? 1308 02:45:46,276 --> 02:45:56,191 Meg and Mij. It was just to put it on 1309 02:45:56,191 --> 02:46:01,486 the agenda, to report to. I. Appreciate the effort. Just 1310 02:46:01,486 --> 02:46:03,086 that we talk about it as a highlight and, hey. 1311 02:46:05,028 --> 02:46:12,211 Whatever way you wish, but applicable. It was appreciated. Two 1312 02:46:12,211 --> 02:46:19,456 weeks. Those are the answers. Anyways, have a motion by 1313 02:46:19,456 --> 02:46:23,896 James Bobby resolved the council received as a memo update 1314 02:46:23,896 --> 02:46:26,616 police Wireflow. Was dated June 10, 2020. 1315 02:46:35,155 --> 02:46:39,983 One. To correspondence. We have some from the library. On 1316 02:46:39,983 --> 02:46:44,083 what valuing Ontario library toolkit works. Here. 1317 02:46:48,928 --> 02:46:55,163 Basically showing us the value. By the library. 1318 02:47:02,081 --> 02:47:03,561 There's any questions down the report. 1319 02:47:22,124 --> 02:47:24,084 Have the motion moved by Phil. Second, by alarm. It 1320 02:47:24,084 --> 02:47:28,204 resolves that councilor received the grand. Valley Public Library report 1321 02:47:28,204 --> 02:47:37,555 valuing the grammar library. Dated May 1, 2025. Before I 1322 02:47:37,555 --> 02:47:39,875 called the question join, have you anything to add to 1323 02:47:39,875 --> 02:47:44,546 the report. I think it's pretty self explanatory of what 1324 02:47:44,546 --> 02:47:48,647 it does to social media. Investment that the town does 1325 02:47:48,647 --> 02:47:52,724 to the library and. What the town and its residents 1326 02:47:52,724 --> 02:47:55,404 receive. And value for their money. 1327 02:48:06,757 --> 02:48:14,150 Different food ship. Today for the public year. 1328 02:48:19,445 --> 02:48:24,431 That's what I've learned. Supposed to be, I guess. I 1329 02:48:24,431 --> 02:48:26,271 didn't know they were committed or they rented the whole 1330 02:48:26,271 --> 02:48:26,311 building. 1331 02:48:43,962 --> 02:48:52,119 What is the municipal portion of the taxes? But no, 1332 02:48:52,119 --> 02:48:56,537 now it's not educational anymore, of course. No, it's Marshall 1333 02:48:56,537 --> 02:49:00,297 commercials. Do we know what tax there are? About 16 1334 02:49:00,297 --> 02:49:07,886 grand. But that's total. Totally, I'm assuming. They're only asking 1335 02:49:07,886 --> 02:49:11,486 for the town of Grand Valley portion is how I 1336 02:49:11,486 --> 02:49:15,951 read it. We have to look at how we would 1337 02:49:15,951 --> 02:49:19,111 be able to do that if council was interested in. 1338 02:49:20,578 --> 02:49:24,237 Waiting. Whether we are able to portion it out or 1339 02:49:24,237 --> 02:49:28,434 whether we waive the whole thing. We have done it 1340 02:49:28,434 --> 02:49:33,060 before. Yeah. Nobody can tell me then how we came 1341 02:49:33,060 --> 02:49:35,300 up with the number or even what the number was. 1342 02:49:35,300 --> 02:49:41,277 Nobody cared. Yeah, exactly. I think we do it in 1343 02:49:41,277 --> 02:49:45,761 a formal process. We were to do something like this, 1344 02:49:45,761 --> 02:49:49,129 not just. We'll give you the money because. 1345 02:49:57,451 --> 02:50:01,746 It wasn't. So if you're interested in that, then step 1346 02:50:01,746 --> 02:50:09,425 to come back with a report. How? We would rebel. 1347 02:50:09,425 --> 02:50:14,175 And under the municipal act. It's been more interesting. 1348 02:50:20,113 --> 02:50:26,548 I don't know. If I'm. There's other stuff going in 1349 02:50:26,548 --> 02:50:34,859 there that just precisely. Things that tether is thinking. Well, 1350 02:50:34,859 --> 02:50:40,253 she says in the letter. That is my concern, right? 1351 02:50:42,653 --> 02:50:46,693 To their credit. They want to help, but this is 1352 02:50:46,693 --> 02:50:49,453 why they're in trouble. It's. Because they keep trying to 1353 02:50:49,453 --> 02:50:54,683 do things that aren't part of their mandate. And they 1354 02:50:54,683 --> 02:51:04,597 keep going bigger and bigger and bigger. I don't mind 1355 02:51:04,597 --> 02:51:09,329 taxes. I said that they were here. But. We get 1356 02:51:09,329 --> 02:51:15,993 to report every month, too, on. How? Demand exceeded. Donations. 1357 02:51:17,769 --> 02:51:22,507 Right. That's what I worry about. With tougher food chairs, 1358 02:51:22,507 --> 02:51:26,428 that their eyes are bigger than their appetite. And if 1359 02:51:26,428 --> 02:51:29,572 they get a really big building. Their eyes are going 1360 02:51:29,572 --> 02:51:35,071 to get huge. Yet, in theory. They could get rent 1361 02:51:35,071 --> 02:51:38,948 back, but at the county. They're going to a one 1362 02:51:38,948 --> 02:51:42,108 stop shopping center for most of the things they put 1363 02:51:42,108 --> 02:51:45,148 in. Here at the Albrox Center. I don't know that 1364 02:51:45,148 --> 02:51:48,946 there's any money. Coming from anybody else. They're on the 1365 02:51:48,946 --> 02:51:54,196 fourth house again. And then they're coming back. Dossagate. Anyway. 1366 02:51:55,471 --> 02:51:58,261 That's what I agree. I'm not aware of what conversations 1367 02:51:58,261 --> 02:51:58,941 they have had at the count. 1368 02:52:28,732 --> 02:52:34,241 Motion by councilor lion segment. Councilor received the correspondence for 1369 02:52:34,241 --> 02:52:43,475 different food chair, Grand Valley, dated May 29, 2025. That's 1370 02:52:43,475 --> 02:52:49,222 all we're going to do is receive it. Kind of 1371 02:52:49,222 --> 02:52:51,542 pull the whimsan out. The other thing we could do 1372 02:52:51,542 --> 02:52:59,666 is then ask them. For specific numbers. And more specifics, 1373 02:52:59,666 --> 02:53:02,706 because right now, like you said, it's very open ended. 1374 02:53:02,706 --> 02:53:05,386 I just. Don't like receiving because receiving it basically killed 1375 02:53:05,386 --> 02:53:08,066 it. Right. Well, then they come back to us with. 1376 02:53:09,712 --> 02:53:11,632 A formal request for whatever dollar amount that they think 1377 02:53:11,632 --> 02:53:18,092 they need. Rather than. For the council. 1378 02:53:25,197 --> 02:53:31,244 Dollar amount that they're asking for. They can work with 1379 02:53:31,244 --> 02:53:39,200 fast to figure out how much they're actually. If we 1380 02:53:39,200 --> 02:53:39,560 receive it. 1381 02:53:50,546 --> 02:53:57,855 Further. That Duffin food share passes for a dollar. Food 1382 02:53:57,855 --> 02:54:07,806 jails. Provide specific. Now you got served. 1383 02:54:20,765 --> 02:54:24,086 Beautiful limited. Coming up and they want to re up. 1384 02:54:26,466 --> 02:54:31,023 You want to make some changes to building? So I 1385 02:54:31,023 --> 02:54:36,759 think they're going to send. Small. That's my understanding. I 1386 02:54:36,759 --> 02:54:40,489 haven't received anything more since this pleasure. We've done their 1387 02:54:40,489 --> 02:54:44,218 2024 update. They're supposed to kind of let you get. 1388 02:54:48,485 --> 02:54:50,565 Asking for that? No. And that's part of the agreement. 1389 02:54:52,461 --> 02:54:55,981 Is that they're supposed to continue to upgrade the building. 1390 02:54:55,981 --> 02:54:59,661 I think if I remember something. Like this was continuously 1391 02:54:59,661 --> 02:55:05,275 improved. Or something about that. Yes, they definitely supposed to 1392 02:55:05,275 --> 02:55:06,235 provide an annual report. 1393 02:55:15,637 --> 02:55:22,583 You had a good meeting. Yeah. 1394 02:55:26,168 --> 02:55:33,878 Better than the previous ones. Some of. The. There was 1395 02:55:33,878 --> 02:55:43,087 everybody getting along. And the youth unlimited or they. Signed. 1396 02:55:49,302 --> 02:55:51,182 By council ladders, second by council, Johnker Beet. Resolved that 1397 02:55:51,182 --> 02:55:56,434 councilor received the correspondence. From the youth unlimited. Dated June 1398 02:55:56,434 --> 02:56:00,994 3, 2025, for the council request that they attend. Council. 1399 02:56:02,477 --> 02:56:12,306 For their annual report. Email. Next is 1400 02:56:12,306 --> 02:56:21,900 what's going on. Both. County. Receive the correspond. Correspondence. Here 1401 02:56:21,900 --> 02:56:26,319 you go. After I read it. Move my cat food. 1402 02:56:26,319 --> 02:56:28,439 Art taken my death in my arrangement resolve the council. 1403 02:56:28,439 --> 02:56:32,719 Receive this the correspondence listed on the two estate June 1404 02:56:32,719 --> 02:56:35,119 10, 2020 5000 agendas on the paper. 1405 02:56:44,645 --> 02:56:49,134 County council. There's some highlights there. To any question. We've 1406 02:56:49,134 --> 02:56:53,715 got subsequent proclamation. I guess we can all look forward 1407 02:56:53,715 --> 02:56:58,971 to the meeting of trouble. I would look forward to 1408 02:56:58,971 --> 02:57:05,322 the match. Well, I don't know. I was certainly underwhelmed 1409 02:57:05,322 --> 02:57:13,892 by. Our county council. Or. But they understood the scope 1410 02:57:13,892 --> 02:57:22,507 of their work. It's what anyone. Canceled up. 1411 02:57:24,014 --> 02:57:32,071 So we did it all close sessions. But I think 1412 02:57:32,071 --> 02:57:35,111 what the consultant thought, the scope of their work, but 1413 02:57:35,111 --> 02:57:38,511 did not line up with. What county towns will cost. 1414 02:57:38,511 --> 02:57:43,174 There's all scope and scope. I get what you're saying. 1415 02:57:45,610 --> 02:57:48,420 What the consultants were doing was not. They understood what 1416 02:57:48,420 --> 02:57:50,540 they were supposed to be doing is not what we 1417 02:57:50,540 --> 02:57:54,700 understood. But they were going to up here. Okay. So 1418 02:57:54,700 --> 02:57:57,455 the meeting could be very interesting. No, I think the 1419 02:57:57,455 --> 02:58:01,602 meeting will be incredibly. But there might be some people 1420 02:58:01,602 --> 02:58:06,005 who get exercise. I will be none of them, because. 1421 02:58:19,734 --> 02:58:23,122 Just a quick question. On the master hosting strategy limitation 1422 02:58:23,122 --> 02:58:26,722 plan. The 20 to third half. What other properties are 1423 02:58:26,722 --> 02:58:32,317 being considered good. Then you got. One job. One shot. 1424 02:58:33,140 --> 02:58:41,663 Either have space or veteran. No, I didn't know. Whether 1425 02:58:41,663 --> 02:58:47,546 they will do it or no. I think sometimes 22 1426 02:58:47,546 --> 02:58:50,506 thirds has been on the list for 15 years. They 1427 02:58:50,506 --> 02:58:54,782 should be doing something. And then just. Start. 1428 02:59:01,384 --> 02:59:07,978 Conversations with that like anything else. Does the buyer actually 1429 02:59:07,978 --> 02:59:10,460 do? There just needs to be too much desire to 1430 02:59:10,460 --> 02:59:16,285 keep it all public. Grew not for profit. Partnership instead 1431 02:59:16,285 --> 02:59:21,022 of just getting done. If they're getting it done, great. 1432 02:59:21,287 --> 02:59:28,196 Greatly. Frustrating. Yeah. 1433 02:59:31,971 --> 02:59:40,542 But. 22 3rd out is curtain, cookie. Then they start 1434 02:59:40,542 --> 02:59:43,966 adding to them. For a second building. Okay. 1435 02:59:50,658 --> 02:59:57,718 Individuals, but doesn't matter, okay? Thanks. About the resolution from 1436 02:59:57,718 --> 03:00:06,778 the town of Amarin. I think we know. 1437 03:00:13,719 --> 03:00:19,265 Okay. Council updates. What have we been doing out in 1438 03:00:19,265 --> 03:00:25,018 public? We had. 40th tornado scene. Anybody else if you 1439 03:00:25,018 --> 03:00:34,721 want to tell me. That's for sure. Anything 1440 03:00:34,721 --> 03:00:40,241 else going on? Really well attended, really well done by 1441 03:00:40,241 --> 03:00:45,326 staff and the committee. So appreciative of that. And everybody. 1442 03:00:46,021 --> 03:00:49,501 Who participated came from the historical society and the lions 1443 03:00:49,501 --> 03:00:53,773 and. All. Really well done and there'd be a period. 1444 03:00:56,671 --> 03:01:01,533 I got 150. After that, and we didn't know what 1445 03:01:01,533 --> 03:01:04,093 to expect. Being on the committee, we thought it was 1446 03:01:04,093 --> 03:01:10,111 four or 200 that we didn't know. I thought that. 1447 03:01:11,812 --> 03:01:15,705 When they. Mrs. Spray spoke very well. Then the movie 1448 03:01:15,705 --> 03:01:17,785 people seem to be very interested in that for at 1449 03:01:17,785 --> 03:01:20,545 least our time, because nobody caught up with much or 1450 03:01:20,545 --> 03:01:23,425 shuffled around. Wasn't a lot of movement, and we did 1451 03:01:23,425 --> 03:01:33,162 have. The police and the fire and the troll. Yeah. 1452 03:01:37,521 --> 03:01:44,178 Three weeks in row. So, yeah. The other day I 1453 03:01:44,178 --> 03:01:49,366 met with sitting where Matt is. Chief Hill. The 6th 1454 03:01:49,366 --> 03:01:53,046 nations was in that chair, her secretary there, and Mark's 1455 03:01:53,046 --> 03:01:57,086 chair was. The word county. So we had a mean, 1456 03:01:57,086 --> 03:02:01,006 fairly long afternoon talking about just trying to get things. 1457 03:02:02,614 --> 03:02:11,392 Cleared up. She thought a lot of misinformation. About trying 1458 03:02:11,392 --> 03:02:13,432 to take land. And if that's not the case, she 1459 03:02:13,432 --> 03:02:17,232 just said basically a court case. That's all they're worried 1460 03:02:17,232 --> 03:02:23,699 about. She's refreshing. Really. I. Since I was here, and 1461 03:02:23,699 --> 03:02:25,059 we were trying to figure out how long that was. 1462 03:02:27,387 --> 03:02:32,288 Long. They've never came into. Representatives from six nations have 1463 03:02:32,288 --> 03:02:36,848 never bought the Feminor here. So she was doing the, 1464 03:02:36,848 --> 03:02:39,208 she called the hold of him. Track tour so he 1465 03:02:39,208 --> 03:02:43,563 can get a t shirt. Where she went. All she 1466 03:02:43,563 --> 03:02:48,683 went to Shelburn and Blankson carried. Be scary here, Amarant. 1467 03:02:48,318 --> 03:02:54,018 Amarante. Yeah. All the way down. So it was interesting. 1468 03:02:57,232 --> 03:03:04,225 Yeah, I think she. 's going to be different. Than 1469 03:03:04,225 --> 03:03:07,148 maybe. Prior cheats where she wants to be out there. 1470 03:03:07,148 --> 03:03:11,987 She volunteered to come up here to Jason. Speaking some 1471 03:03:11,987 --> 03:03:15,103 what we need her to do. She. 's here and 1472 03:03:15,103 --> 03:03:19,276 she all showcup, so I thought that was good. Basically, 1473 03:03:19,276 --> 03:03:27,067 she says, probably sitting around her council tables. Similar to 1474 03:03:27,067 --> 03:03:33,427 sitting around her. Same problems, housing, mental health, all these 1475 03:03:33,427 --> 03:03:43,350 things that we have. There. I think next Saturday, period, 1476 03:03:43,350 --> 03:03:48,858 we're doing an official baseball field. Lunchtime. Yeah. 1477 03:03:53,349 --> 03:03:55,109 I think there's not sure who's going to be allowed 1478 03:03:55,109 --> 03:03:58,389 in the bouncy. Castle. But there will be one there. 1479 03:03:58,389 --> 03:04:06,402 You don't want me in the belting. Not. Notes, no 1480 03:04:06,402 --> 03:04:13,691 doubt. Lies is free. Come for lunch. I think James 1481 03:04:13,691 --> 03:04:19,183 has a jugs gun or a radar gun. Who brings 1482 03:04:19,183 --> 03:04:22,257 some auxiliary bean junior. If you give it a try, 1483 03:04:22,257 --> 03:04:24,137 because I imagine you get for all my season and 1484 03:04:24,137 --> 03:04:29,945 fertilizer. So it should have been an announcement. Sunday is 1485 03:04:29,945 --> 03:04:36,427 purely. So bags have been dropped off and down. Make 1486 03:04:36,427 --> 03:04:40,267 sure they're on your doorsteps by 10:00 a.m. Bring them 1487 03:04:40,267 --> 03:04:42,747 to the Grand Valley library, so I think that need 1488 03:04:42,747 --> 03:04:47,490 a diagnosis. Thank you. If I ever range it. Did 1489 03:04:47,490 --> 03:04:50,250 you volunteer for that? No, I did not. But I 1490 03:04:50,250 --> 03:05:00,175 also. Not that. I just didn't reject 1491 03:05:00,175 --> 03:05:05,034 anyway. Not that father's 18. So that is on fundamental. 1492 03:05:07,714 --> 03:05:12,498 And last year they collected a whole lot. Purely trucking. 1493 03:05:18,217 --> 03:05:18,497 Super great. 1494 03:05:28,542 --> 03:05:31,811 If there's nothing else. I can go with the committee 1495 03:05:31,811 --> 03:05:36,156 report. The BIA has submitted here. I don't know if 1496 03:05:36,156 --> 03:05:39,756 they learned to speak on a meeting that they have 1497 03:05:39,756 --> 03:05:46,172 had lately. We did meet very recently, mainly just going 1498 03:05:46,172 --> 03:05:50,906 on Beverly for the Harshell. We actually decided to schedule 1499 03:05:50,906 --> 03:06:00,379 now another meeting. Coming together. Last minute. 1500 03:06:03,119 --> 03:06:05,310 We just want to make sure that everyone. Looking forward 1501 03:06:05,310 --> 03:06:12,062 to that day. Just a quick question. 1502 03:06:15,799 --> 03:06:17,863 Maybe. We're not manager manage going to be up your 1503 03:06:17,863 --> 03:06:22,754 drivers doing them more warning than a. Back pocket. I 1504 03:06:22,754 --> 03:06:24,314 can say you're going to be out there taking pictures. 1505 03:06:26,934 --> 03:06:32,007 Just curious. Any technical difficult. I know Rob. That was 1506 03:06:32,007 --> 03:06:36,903 part of thanking Rob because I know it's coming. So 1507 03:06:36,903 --> 03:06:39,223 I thought Rob might touch on it. But he has 1508 03:06:39,223 --> 03:06:46,342 a new manager, operations manager. Okay. Getting about here is 1509 03:06:46,342 --> 03:06:56,018 easy. They'll dominate. But it's not. He's the guy. That 1510 03:06:56,018 --> 03:07:00,640 you're waiting for us to. Do this Friday, right? But 1511 03:07:00,640 --> 03:07:10,052 he's running. Until then, the stage per se. But we 1512 03:07:10,052 --> 03:07:14,414 haven't. Done. It tomorrow morning. Yeah. 1513 03:07:24,184 --> 03:07:32,910 Fireboard. Not fireboard. Fireboard did meet, I think, on. Monday, 1514 03:07:32,910 --> 03:07:37,605 whatever day that was. Yeah, we talked about improvement on 1515 03:07:37,605 --> 03:07:43,134 the biggie. Method. We've had roof. 1516 03:07:47,715 --> 03:07:56,164 Again on. The 20. S. 1517 03:07:57,823 --> 03:07:58,583 Lots of calls this year. 1518 03:08:15,629 --> 03:08:18,149 So we had an arena board meeting last night, too. 1519 03:08:23,091 --> 03:08:31,392 So the spirit kind of. Thing. I guess. One of 1520 03:08:31,392 --> 03:08:34,883 probably the most. Contentious was the town was paying overtime 1521 03:08:34,883 --> 03:08:38,803 to the when the people were working at the original 1522 03:08:38,803 --> 03:08:48,251 change. And. Some. Gifts. That has changed. I don't think 1523 03:08:48,251 --> 03:08:57,633 it's a lot of money. There is 1524 03:08:57,633 --> 03:09:03,274 some, there was another policy that. Doesn't. Going good. 1525 03:09:13,576 --> 03:09:19,423 The addition is on time and on budget. Everything. 1526 03:09:30,127 --> 03:09:32,687 Motion moved by council at Ernest deputy mayor ran second 1527 03:09:32,687 --> 03:09:35,407 by councilor Dart Beer with all council seats, board and 1528 03:09:35,407 --> 03:09:40,647 committee minutes listed on the Tuesday, June 10, 2025 council 1529 03:09:40,647 --> 03:09:43,087 agenda. I'm assuming. Sorry. That none of the other boards 1530 03:09:43,087 --> 03:09:50,091 have met. Tomorrow. I know it's early in the morning, 1531 03:09:50,091 --> 03:09:53,871 so I can look. Tween or was it? 1532 03:10:04,049 --> 03:10:10,330 Usually the second meeting of the month for you. Business. 1533 03:10:10,330 --> 03:10:11,810 Now we have a lot of notices in motion. 1534 03:10:27,392 --> 03:10:33,358 So, shall I leave this? I believe I have to 1535 03:10:33,358 --> 03:10:38,191 be present. From the notice of motion. Like that. 1536 03:10:51,729 --> 03:10:58,026 Too late. Don't need any. 1537 03:11:03,282 --> 03:11:04,722 Weapon orders. I don't know what went first. 1538 03:11:18,351 --> 03:11:23,350 Counselor, second by council. Had the mayor and deputy mayor 1539 03:11:23,350 --> 03:11:28,306 position. Acclaimed in the last election that showed up before 1540 03:11:28,306 --> 03:11:33,514 people running for three counsel. This year. Whereas compensation, benefits, 1541 03:11:33,514 --> 03:11:36,274 and meeting times can potentially have an impact on the 1542 03:11:36,274 --> 03:11:41,834 anticipation community to run for council positions, whereas mayor, deputy 1543 03:11:41,834 --> 03:11:45,874 mayor and councilors should be compensated fairly and equitably. For 1544 03:11:45,874 --> 03:11:49,394 their time put into their respective positions when serving on 1545 03:11:49,394 --> 03:11:53,636 council, whereas council positions in Grand Val. Valley are not 1546 03:11:53,636 --> 03:11:57,436 full time positions and therefore meeting time dependent what day 1547 03:11:57,436 --> 03:12:02,818 meetings are held should be considered therefore. It resolved that 1548 03:12:02,818 --> 03:12:09,004 a citizen committee for council. Established to act as an 1549 03:12:09,004 --> 03:12:15,177 independent body charged with reviewing and bringing forward recommendations. Recommended 1550 03:12:15,177 --> 03:12:20,177 changes on enumeration, benefits and expenses for counseling, as well 1551 03:12:20,177 --> 03:12:24,257 as other individual policies for the offices of mayor and 1552 03:12:24,257 --> 03:12:28,297 council and further, that the following be used as a 1553 03:12:28,297 --> 03:12:33,137 framework review. The matter compensation as it relates to public 1554 03:12:33,137 --> 03:12:37,441 office by meeting. With each current member of council receive 1555 03:12:37,441 --> 03:12:41,201 the compensation package supported by market data and comparable use 1556 03:12:41,201 --> 03:12:47,501 element. Terms of scope, size and nature of work. View 1557 03:12:47,501 --> 03:12:52,200 the function and responsibility that mayor and council. Level of 1558 03:12:52,200 --> 03:12:57,440 committee engagement and time commitment requires of individuals holding municipal 1559 03:12:57,440 --> 03:13:04,000 office, including not limited to, meeting event participation time, communication, 1560 03:13:04,000 --> 03:13:08,083 public. View meeting times and what day of the week 1561 03:13:08,083 --> 03:13:13,975 council meetings are held to ensure public accessibility. Member attendant 1562 03:13:13,975 --> 03:13:18,303 and lack of hindrance. Those balancing full time jobs and 1563 03:13:18,303 --> 03:13:24,590 serving. Overseas preparation and presentation of a final report and 1564 03:13:24,590 --> 03:13:30,472 recommendation to Council for approval. And further, that the committee 1565 03:13:30,472 --> 03:13:34,232 seeks public input on these topics through surveys or open 1566 03:13:34,232 --> 03:13:42,801 house. As well as council input. Two and further, that 1567 03:13:42,801 --> 03:13:47,401 the term of council starts August 2025 with a minimum 1568 03:13:47,401 --> 03:13:51,001 three meetings and will attempt to present the report to 1569 03:13:51,001 --> 03:13:55,470 count no later than December. Of 2025. 1570 03:14:08,032 --> 03:14:11,252 Does anybody want to comment? Paul, do you want to 1571 03:14:11,252 --> 03:14:14,732 start first? So the motivation is hopefully laid out a 1572 03:14:14,732 --> 03:14:16,652 bit in the wearons. But the motivation behind this is. 1573 03:14:18,499 --> 03:14:22,088 To garner. Two things. One, and I don't know the 1574 03:14:22,088 --> 03:14:24,928 last time, after council didn't ask. All the input and 1575 03:14:24,928 --> 03:14:32,286 benefits and reintegration. We did it ourselves. Secondly remumeration. Of 1576 03:14:32,286 --> 03:14:36,151 interest from people running those positions. So whether or not 1577 03:14:36,151 --> 03:14:40,497 community input. Community input is the most non biased and 1578 03:14:40,497 --> 03:14:47,856 most. Independent. Way to do this. In my view, so. 1579 03:14:54,073 --> 03:14:59,515 The points there. So the framework we noticed against. Direction. 1580 03:14:59,515 --> 03:15:07,502 As far as what? Variations. Change, but a lot of 1581 03:15:07,502 --> 03:15:09,582 staff comment on that. But I at least get an 1582 03:15:09,582 --> 03:15:18,301 idea. Citizen Committee. Okay. Is there income? 1583 03:15:22,139 --> 03:15:28,175 Yeah, someone I'll talk to. Sure. 1584 03:15:31,803 --> 03:15:36,203 So I don't think the justification of the last election 1585 03:15:36,203 --> 03:15:40,190 is enough to do this. Yeah, the two of us. 1586 03:15:41,971 --> 03:15:45,011 Were acclaimed, and we need to have more people running. 1587 03:15:47,180 --> 03:15:50,980 But mayor being acclaimed. I said this last. He's unbeatable. 1588 03:15:50,980 --> 03:15:57,718 I'm never running against. Him. It inspired me that nobody 1589 03:15:57,718 --> 03:16:00,558 ran against me surprised me. The fact that we had 1590 03:16:00,558 --> 03:16:03,638 two members of council resigned. One member of council that 1591 03:16:03,638 --> 03:16:09,491 had a happy year experience. Or a year. Previous elections. 1592 03:16:09,491 --> 03:16:12,211 I mean, when Liz died, we had four people with 1593 03:16:12,211 --> 03:16:17,249 Amprangel left. We had seven people. There hadn't been interest 1594 03:16:17,249 --> 03:16:21,326 in the past. I think throughout 2022, to be honest, 1595 03:16:21,326 --> 03:16:23,126 people are coming out of the pandemic. The last thing 1596 03:16:23,126 --> 03:16:25,286 they wanted to do was think about shit like this. 1597 03:16:25,286 --> 03:16:28,908 They want to get back to. Their lives. That's sort 1598 03:16:28,908 --> 03:16:36,322 of my personal take on it. The second part. Compensation 1599 03:16:36,322 --> 03:16:41,695 benefits many times. Yeah, I don't think you're ever going 1600 03:16:41,695 --> 03:16:45,863 to find the meeting time that everybody likes. People yeah. 1601 03:16:47,889 --> 03:16:49,969 So it kind of depends on the makeup. If we 1602 03:16:49,969 --> 03:16:52,810 were going to go this route, One of the things 1603 03:16:52,810 --> 03:16:54,970 that I would say is anyone sitting on this committee 1604 03:16:54,970 --> 03:16:58,290 cannot run because or else you're going to get the 1605 03:16:58,290 --> 03:17:00,610 committee saying we want to be paid a lot of 1606 03:17:00,610 --> 03:17:02,330 money, and we want to meet on these high speeds. 1607 03:17:02,330 --> 03:17:04,810 That works best for us, I guarantee you. It's not 1608 03:17:04,810 --> 03:17:08,728 going to work best for me. I just work every 1609 03:17:08,728 --> 03:17:12,870 time I come to Bermuda. I'm okay with that. That's 1610 03:17:12,870 --> 03:17:14,910 what I signed up for and to be on. And 1611 03:17:14,910 --> 03:17:17,150 I said this lots of times. I don't want people 1612 03:17:17,150 --> 03:17:18,910 here for the money. I want people here that are 1613 03:17:18,910 --> 03:17:22,390 sacrificing for their community. That's. I think we all do 1614 03:17:22,390 --> 03:17:25,190 it, and I think there's enough people that are going 1615 03:17:25,190 --> 03:17:29,600 to be willing to do it again. I think we 1616 03:17:29,600 --> 03:17:32,920 would really have to narrow down the focus of this. 1617 03:17:35,615 --> 03:17:38,895 I'm assuming there's going to be significant sat involved because. 1618 03:17:40,476 --> 03:17:42,836 That is going to have to sort of corral this 1619 03:17:42,836 --> 03:17:46,203 community together. If we were going to go this route. 1620 03:17:46,203 --> 03:17:48,043 And the other thing that we have to be careful. 1621 03:17:48,043 --> 03:17:51,283 Of is, if we go this way, we can't say 1622 03:17:51,283 --> 03:17:55,923 no. Right? Whatever this committee recommends. We have to approve. 1623 03:17:55,923 --> 03:17:59,483 Because why do it? And why would anyone do anything 1624 03:17:59,483 --> 03:18:03,011 again in this town? If they're going to come to 1625 03:18:03,011 --> 03:18:09,425 council and get turned out. I think for me. The 1626 03:18:09,425 --> 03:18:13,089 scope is too big. Too bad. 1627 03:18:20,652 --> 03:18:27,586 I definitely understand. Where? I agree that it could be 1628 03:18:27,586 --> 03:18:31,523 helpful, however. That you made comments. I mean, kind of 1629 03:18:31,523 --> 03:18:34,283 already know what people are going to be looking for. 1630 03:18:34,283 --> 03:18:36,443 They're going for the ideal times. They're going to want 1631 03:18:36,443 --> 03:18:40,479 way more money. I do worry you attract some wrong 1632 03:18:40,479 --> 03:18:44,499 individuals, but at the same time. If we face, say, 1633 03:18:44,499 --> 03:18:47,979 another big change over next term. I mean, you want 1634 03:18:47,979 --> 03:18:50,825 to make sure you get the best. So I don't 1635 03:18:50,825 --> 03:18:52,745 know. I would almost want to table it before making 1636 03:18:52,745 --> 03:18:58,654 a decision on it today. But. Just kind of wrap 1637 03:18:58,654 --> 03:19:03,340 that. Do you have anything else? I'm sorry. No. Sorry. 1638 03:19:12,512 --> 03:19:20,752 My comments are. With respect to. Community involvement. 1639 03:19:22,305 --> 03:19:24,585 That's one of them is you would just have to 1640 03:19:24,585 --> 03:19:29,383 take a look at the audience. Here tonight. To have 1641 03:19:29,383 --> 03:19:37,803 sort of an idea about. What people think of it. 1642 03:19:39,058 --> 03:19:43,806 But. Apathy is the wrong word too, I believe. Could 1643 03:19:43,806 --> 03:19:49,316 be the rain. But. We're limited by what we can 1644 03:19:49,316 --> 03:19:55,549 do. Most of our direction. And. The big picture, so 1645 03:19:55,549 --> 03:20:00,721 to speak, has been already. Thrust upon us from higher 1646 03:20:00,721 --> 03:20:06,339 levels of government. Specifically for Mitchell. So in that case, 1647 03:20:06,339 --> 03:20:13,508 I don't think that's going to improve. Community. Or citizen 1648 03:20:13,508 --> 03:20:17,068 participation any more of them. It already does. Historically, it's 1649 03:20:17,068 --> 03:20:19,908 not just grand valley. You have to take a look 1650 03:20:19,908 --> 03:20:22,348 and take a look at our neighbors across the highway 1651 03:20:22,348 --> 03:20:27,398 one night. And you got the same thing for just 1652 03:20:27,398 --> 03:20:30,792 as long, if not longer. It's just the type of 1653 03:20:30,792 --> 03:20:34,072 community we are at this point. This might be something 1654 03:20:34,072 --> 03:20:37,032 to revisit when the town is much larger. But at 1655 03:20:37,032 --> 03:20:40,832 this point, where the small town population of just maybe 1656 03:20:40,832 --> 03:20:48,052 3000. I don't think it's appropriate. As just a sort 1657 03:20:48,052 --> 03:20:56,206 of comment or to add to Bill's common. Or public 1658 03:20:56,206 --> 03:21:03,827 service. And it's a public service. And. Like you said, 1659 03:21:03,827 --> 03:21:08,086 I think the sacrifice part of it is. What sort 1660 03:21:08,086 --> 03:21:11,926 of detracts? Maybe not the tracks, but sort of encourages. 1661 03:21:13,947 --> 03:21:15,547 Somebody's coming in and because of the money, then. 1662 03:21:25,044 --> 03:21:30,563 I wouldn't want. An increase in that sense, but. I 1663 03:21:30,563 --> 03:21:34,374 signed up for. This. 1664 03:21:41,113 --> 03:21:46,446 Yeah. You were referring to. One of our local, our 1665 03:21:46,446 --> 03:21:53,002 neighbors. That you had nobody about. And then they had 1666 03:21:53,002 --> 03:21:57,016 to coax somebody else, too, actually. Fill the way it 1667 03:21:57,016 --> 03:22:01,867 is, but I recall. And as the deputy pointed out, 1668 03:22:01,867 --> 03:22:03,987 the last time could have been a glitch because I 1669 03:22:03,987 --> 03:22:08,067 had run in previous elections where there's plenty of people 1670 03:22:08,067 --> 03:22:16,450 done. I think. When. I don't know the percentage. When. 1671 03:22:19,192 --> 03:22:27,933 Is there a 20%? People, though, they're healthier. So if 1672 03:22:27,933 --> 03:22:30,653 the mayor and deputy mayor are challenged, then you may 1673 03:22:30,653 --> 03:22:35,138 get. More interest if you may get 40% at the 1674 03:22:35,138 --> 03:22:44,415 most. Yet. Know of raising the benefits and the 1675 03:22:44,415 --> 03:22:48,095 salaries, and it shouldn't be why people are doing this. 1676 03:22:50,209 --> 03:22:54,329 Could say it's not a volunteer position, but. It? Almost. 1677 03:22:54,329 --> 03:22:56,009 I don't know. If you get better, I'm going to 1678 03:22:56,009 --> 03:22:58,529 say no. We don't get better people because you pay 1679 03:22:58,529 --> 03:23:03,033 more. Because I know people that play. On television just 1680 03:23:03,033 --> 03:23:04,993 pay a lot more and get worse. People that are 1681 03:23:04,993 --> 03:23:12,751 in here. Yeah. I'm not sure if this maybe. Learned 1682 03:23:12,751 --> 03:23:15,606 it could be thought of. Either. I know Paul. You 1683 03:23:15,606 --> 03:23:19,407 went to a lot of work thinking about this. I 1684 03:23:19,407 --> 03:23:22,367 know that it would be nice to have more people 1685 03:23:22,367 --> 03:23:26,250 run, but I don't even. Know if you paid them 1686 03:23:26,250 --> 03:23:33,506 more and gave them more time. Or. Secretaries. I really 1687 03:23:33,506 --> 03:23:42,463 thank everybody for their comments on. So. If not. 1688 03:23:43,784 --> 03:23:50,104 I don't think amo. Has a number of. Programs, courses. 1689 03:23:50,868 --> 03:23:58,759 Or sessions. Encouraging. What's the phrase? Helping democracy. Yeah, something 1690 03:23:58,759 --> 03:24:01,919 like that. In a healthy democracy, and I think a 1691 03:24:01,919 --> 03:24:07,562 lot of it. Starts in the schools especially. In the 1692 03:24:07,562 --> 03:24:10,482 senior, like, grade seven, eight class and then obviously higher 1693 03:24:10,482 --> 03:24:15,016 up. But let's sort of give them an idea. Of 1694 03:24:15,016 --> 03:24:21,092 what can. What does happen? But. You even take a 1695 03:24:21,092 --> 03:24:24,100 look? At some of the stuff that we do here, 1696 03:24:24,100 --> 03:24:28,551 like, even tonight. About passing this motion, like for this 1697 03:24:28,551 --> 03:24:33,623 emotion. Or I move for this. Seconded by that. There's 1698 03:24:33,623 --> 03:24:39,495 a lot of. Very mundane. Parts of being in council. 1699 03:24:42,308 --> 03:24:43,668 I would love to get rid of, but it's also 1700 03:24:43,668 --> 03:24:46,708 a part that keeps us reasonably civilized in here as 1701 03:24:46,708 --> 03:24:56,637 well. And that wouldn't attract anybody. Either. But. I think. 1702 03:24:57,899 --> 03:25:03,264 Just educating. The ones that are coming up that are 1703 03:25:03,264 --> 03:25:05,704 going to be voting or will be eligible to vote. 1704 03:25:05,704 --> 03:25:10,203 Eligible to vote in next few years. Would be good. 1705 03:25:12,061 --> 03:25:14,661 Have filled both with civics class in Chauvin or O 1706 03:25:14,661 --> 03:25:17,261 DSS or something like that I think that would be. 1707 03:25:19,505 --> 03:25:24,086 Just to get an almost contrary view. Look at me. 1708 03:25:24,086 --> 03:25:33,329 I'm a dairy farmer. HCI headwaters community action one of 1709 03:25:33,329 --> 03:25:36,009 our and I sit on that board is not the 1710 03:25:36,009 --> 03:25:39,249 process it's unpleasant. Governor county one of our big things 1711 03:25:39,249 --> 03:25:43,769 is to push engagement in municipal which I think is 1712 03:25:43,769 --> 03:25:45,809 sort of the start of it, and that's the part 1713 03:25:45,809 --> 03:25:51,439 I asked for. The agreements, right? We do. Want more 1714 03:25:51,439 --> 03:25:55,423 people running. We want more people to be engaged. Yeah. 1715 03:25:58,349 --> 03:26:02,481 That's the part I absolutely agree. The rest of the 1716 03:26:02,481 --> 03:26:05,441 topic should give me so broad that it gets tall. 1717 03:26:07,664 --> 03:26:12,485 Down this road. There's only one. Everybody. Every one of 1718 03:26:12,485 --> 03:26:20,277 you. Everyone. That's like. I can see where. 1719 03:26:22,306 --> 03:26:27,139 Paula. The motivation is trying to get people. To come 1720 03:26:27,139 --> 03:26:29,899 out and be more involved, and that is what this 1721 03:26:29,899 --> 03:26:35,662 motion is asking me to do. And. That's good idea. 1722 03:26:35,662 --> 03:26:42,256 I do like. Lord's suggestion to fable. And. Digest this 1723 03:26:42,256 --> 03:26:51,566 for? The. I would suggest. Yes, I did put the 1724 03:26:51,566 --> 03:26:54,246 time into it, but perhaps this is the key and. 1725 03:26:54,246 --> 03:26:57,905 That would probably be that we should ask about. For 1726 03:26:57,905 --> 03:27:02,308 sabcha. So I would change there for yourself. That and 1727 03:27:02,308 --> 03:27:10,552 just. That salad. Based on? What I believe framework. I'm 1728 03:27:10,552 --> 03:27:13,432 not quite sure. Media marijuana changed a couple of things 1729 03:27:13,432 --> 03:27:16,112 for us. I looked at a bunch of resolutions that 1730 03:27:16,112 --> 03:27:20,143 other county passes. That's where I pulled it from. Someone 1731 03:27:20,143 --> 03:27:22,063 I created. But mostly, here's what every other council does. 1732 03:27:24,018 --> 03:27:28,487 I. Was super creative about a couple of different frameworks. 1733 03:27:30,175 --> 03:27:33,545 So that way we do have time. Each family. Which 1734 03:27:33,545 --> 03:27:37,785 is good. So I do plea forgiveness there. I didn't 1735 03:27:37,785 --> 03:27:42,151 include that. And then councilor Harvey. 1736 03:27:49,270 --> 03:27:53,150 Okay. So then should I say in that staff report 1737 03:27:53,150 --> 03:28:00,359 back on this motion, End of content. Of this function. 1738 03:28:08,764 --> 03:28:15,538 No, but. I can't report on the citizen committee. Here 1739 03:28:15,538 --> 03:28:22,706 is what I'm. A good idea. Maybe too broad. 1740 03:28:25,673 --> 03:28:32,851 And. I think what I'm hearing from. We do need 1741 03:28:32,851 --> 03:28:37,232 more people running. But is it just that cycle? Or 1742 03:28:37,232 --> 03:28:39,592 is it because we're not getting paid? Or is it 1743 03:28:39,592 --> 03:28:42,784 because we're not getting time. Underneath? I'm not sure. So 1744 03:28:42,784 --> 03:28:45,933 maybe. Steph, I don't know what, I don't know what 1745 03:28:45,933 --> 03:28:49,052 a committee would, because. Bill says no one's going to 1746 03:28:49,052 --> 03:28:55,265 be dead happy with it. And. Said the risk of 1747 03:28:55,265 --> 03:28:57,465 getting the wrong pay. It's good paying job. I know 1748 03:28:57,465 --> 03:29:01,415 I can't. Do anything. I'm going to try. You can 1749 03:29:01,415 --> 03:29:04,615 get that, too. And just because you pay more doesn't 1750 03:29:04,615 --> 03:29:09,649 mean you get the better people sometimes. They're there for 1751 03:29:09,649 --> 03:29:14,909 the wrong reason. One reason in that, and you can 1752 03:29:14,909 --> 03:29:16,909 see it if you go look at Washington or whatever 1753 03:29:16,909 --> 03:29:18,309 and those guys get a lot of money, and they. 1754 03:29:26,821 --> 03:29:32,249 Go ahead. Just a width with respect to. Initial thought. 1755 03:29:36,436 --> 03:29:39,416 Because it would save staff time and everything, but. Kind 1756 03:29:39,416 --> 03:29:42,576 of allow the opportunity for the community engagement and get 1757 03:29:42,576 --> 03:29:46,774 the same information that this is hoping to get. What 1758 03:29:46,774 --> 03:29:50,824 if we did, like, a semiannual open house? By people. 1759 03:29:52,054 --> 03:29:54,214 This is the thing. Rather than encouraging the same couple 1760 03:29:54,214 --> 03:29:56,574 of people or whatever it is to be and talk 1761 03:29:56,574 --> 03:30:00,418 about it, whatever. We'll meet with the community. It doesn't 1762 03:30:00,418 --> 03:30:02,738 have to be. All of us have to attend, but 1763 03:30:02,738 --> 03:30:05,498 hear them out. Take some notes again, I think we 1764 03:30:05,498 --> 03:30:07,378 all can agree on, but. We know what they're all 1765 03:30:07,378 --> 03:30:08,898 going to say. They're going to want more money. Again. 1766 03:30:10,654 --> 03:30:13,184 No day meetings, more evenings or stuff like that. I 1767 03:30:13,184 --> 03:30:16,024 don't know, trying to think aloud of something that might 1768 03:30:16,024 --> 03:30:18,544 kind of get the same. End goal, but be just 1769 03:30:18,544 --> 03:30:25,323 easier on everyone and everything. If that makes sense. But 1770 03:30:25,323 --> 03:30:27,203 this is the thing, though. But you touched on it, 1771 03:30:27,203 --> 03:30:32,132 right? I think you'll get people there, but I don't 1772 03:30:32,132 --> 03:30:34,652 know. I don't. Think it's going to also reach maybe 1773 03:30:34,652 --> 03:30:37,516 enough. Hey, I'm wrong. Maybe we do an open house 1774 03:30:37,516 --> 03:30:41,220 and no one comes, and then I. Don't know. But. 1775 03:30:41,977 --> 03:30:45,463 I'm trying. Where I'm sitting. Everybody here has said something 1776 03:30:45,463 --> 03:30:51,072 that makes a lot of fun. And. The goal is 1777 03:30:51,072 --> 03:30:56,480 there, and then there's people that. Are kind of twin 1778 03:30:56,480 --> 03:30:58,120 moving the goal posts here and there a bit that 1779 03:30:58,120 --> 03:31:01,840 are trying to rarely I think help to try to 1780 03:31:01,840 --> 03:31:08,826 get more, but. They're just kind of. Moving. I think 1781 03:31:08,826 --> 03:31:11,546 what we need is something contentious in town for everybody 1782 03:31:11,546 --> 03:31:14,106 to rally around one way or the other, either for 1783 03:31:14,106 --> 03:31:17,712 or again, because you don't need that. But we got 1784 03:31:17,712 --> 03:31:21,561 the wrong guy up there. But that's the only way 1785 03:31:21,561 --> 03:31:23,241 it's going to happen. That's all you get. That's when 1786 03:31:23,241 --> 03:31:24,721 you get a lot of people. That's when you get 1787 03:31:24,721 --> 03:31:26,801 a lot of people. And then if they're really against 1788 03:31:26,801 --> 03:31:29,401 or they're really for it. And we're going against it 1789 03:31:29,401 --> 03:31:32,681 or what have you. That's when somebody's going to sort 1790 03:31:32,681 --> 03:31:38,607 of. Put their foot in the water. Strand. They were 1791 03:31:38,607 --> 03:31:42,007 sick to us to freestation and I think two for 1792 03:31:42,007 --> 03:31:45,127 mayor and three for deputy mayor. I can't remember what 1793 03:31:45,127 --> 03:31:47,167 it was in 18, but there were three of us. 1794 03:31:47,167 --> 03:31:50,407 For deputy mayor Zeiss farm was in these days to 1795 03:31:50,407 --> 03:31:52,807 try to buy that fire that was a little bit 1796 03:31:52,807 --> 03:31:58,583 in 14. I didn't know anything about it when I 1797 03:31:58,583 --> 03:32:04,246 ran. That time frame. Yeah, no, we did. Don't need 1798 03:32:04,246 --> 03:32:06,966 a contextual issue to have people. Right, but that's what's. 1799 03:32:06,966 --> 03:32:09,806 Going to. I know, but that's what's going to sort 1800 03:32:09,806 --> 03:32:14,891 of. But there's nothing coming up. I don't know, maybe 1801 03:32:14,891 --> 03:32:24,859 an apartment building. If you came up. On 1802 03:32:24,859 --> 03:32:28,499 Council Dutch America or mayor and said lines were gross. 1803 03:32:28,499 --> 03:32:30,979 And this guy come in here and said no more 1804 03:32:30,979 --> 03:32:33,219 growth in Grand Valley. That's what I'm running on. And 1805 03:32:33,219 --> 03:32:36,863 you? Could win. There's a lot of guys that are 1806 03:32:36,863 --> 03:32:40,500 just happy to keep this place. I bought the last 1807 03:32:40,500 --> 03:32:41,980 house. It was never going to be sold to one. 1808 03:32:44,083 --> 03:32:47,366 You could maybe run on that. Previous mayor that was 1809 03:32:47,366 --> 03:32:56,543 gone that route or tried to. How'd that go? Previous 1810 03:32:56,543 --> 03:33:00,672 marriage. Thorough. He's dead now, but. I'll have three to 1811 03:33:00,672 --> 03:33:03,072 get in here. It's not the one previous? No, but. 1812 03:33:03,072 --> 03:33:09,696 After he used my grand valley. Premise. I guess it 1813 03:33:09,696 --> 03:33:16,317 was Reeve. That moment. Yes. And I hope the public 1814 03:33:16,317 --> 03:33:21,942 realizes. That we don't have to be here. It's not 1815 03:33:21,942 --> 03:33:24,943 going to kill me if I'm not the man. People. 1816 03:33:26,631 --> 03:33:27,551 Will tell me. I'm not going to vote for you. 1817 03:33:29,412 --> 03:33:33,535 I don't know if I'm running. It's nothing that I'm 1818 03:33:33,535 --> 03:33:39,013 earth shattering. If I lose, I just move. You can 1819 03:33:39,013 --> 03:33:48,653 literally do that. I hope everybody 1820 03:33:48,653 --> 03:33:51,693 realizes this is not our lives. This is a big 1821 03:33:51,693 --> 03:33:55,575 part, but it's not. Will still go on. 1822 03:34:01,655 --> 03:34:06,221 We're doing as best as we can in years. And 1823 03:34:06,221 --> 03:34:09,743 that's what we will do. So, what have we got 1824 03:34:09,743 --> 03:34:13,290 here? Whether the council directs that to present a report 1825 03:34:13,290 --> 03:34:18,273 on the potential means to execute this project. This is 1826 03:34:18,273 --> 03:34:26,659 a project. Is there a timeline? Count one. 25. 1827 03:34:28,832 --> 03:34:33,777 Which this whole thing would have, I guess. Got to 1828 03:34:33,777 --> 03:34:43,682 work back from. Exterior. Micrometers. We 1829 03:34:43,682 --> 03:34:51,176 use that time, but similar timeline for committee. I don't 1830 03:34:51,176 --> 03:34:55,038 want to put it. So are we removing the. Well, 1831 03:34:55,038 --> 03:34:58,918 that is the start in August. Our report would say 1832 03:34:58,918 --> 03:35:01,478 whether what? Type of time frame would we actually need 1833 03:35:01,478 --> 03:35:07,994 to. Do all of. I don't know. Is a streamline. 1834 03:35:09,848 --> 03:35:16,971 That's why we articulate all that in the report. Okay, 1835 03:35:16,971 --> 03:35:19,171 so I have a motion, and I know of it 1836 03:35:19,171 --> 03:35:21,811 in this room that everybody is here. To do the 1837 03:35:21,811 --> 03:35:23,651 best job they can for as long as they are 1838 03:35:23,651 --> 03:35:29,739 here. That's all we do. The best we can. As 1839 03:35:29,739 --> 03:35:34,834 long as we hold the position, we hope. That's our 1840 03:35:34,834 --> 03:35:38,807 mandate. So, do you want me to read the science 1841 03:35:38,807 --> 03:35:48,283 entire thing again? We are leaving the entire. Motion intact 1842 03:35:48,283 --> 03:35:52,418 and adding a request for a staff report. Yes. 1843 03:36:03,987 --> 03:36:06,747 And thanks for everybody's comments. I also had staff report. 1844 03:36:09,169 --> 03:36:13,463 Too hard on yourself. Serious. That was who did. A 1845 03:36:13,463 --> 03:36:17,956 doctor didn't rank. No, I wrote Tuesday night or whatever. 1846 03:36:22,566 --> 03:36:24,726 I had a second notice of motion moved by councilor 1847 03:36:24,726 --> 03:36:27,326 Lanham, second by councilor Juncker. Where the cap? Grand Valley 1848 03:36:27,326 --> 03:36:33,600 contract. Contractority of its engineering to a single engineering firm 1849 03:36:33,600 --> 03:36:37,880 where his grandfather employed many future projects, where it will 1850 03:36:37,880 --> 03:36:44,096 need engineering services from engineering firm. Whereas it is prudent 1851 03:36:44,096 --> 03:36:47,536 to have a list of qualified engineers to obtain quote 1852 03:36:47,536 --> 03:36:50,656 and costing for projects happening within Grand Valley in an 1853 03:36:50,656 --> 03:36:54,496 effort to be fiscally responsible to the resident. Therefore be 1854 03:36:54,496 --> 03:36:59,831 a result of staff do a request. For pre qualification 1855 03:36:59,831 --> 03:37:04,551 to develop a roster of pre qualified engineering consultants that 1856 03:37:04,551 --> 03:37:07,311 the town can use from time to time as needed 1857 03:37:07,311 --> 03:37:14,336 upon various projects. Question of motion. All in favor? Sorry. 1858 03:37:16,091 --> 03:37:18,651 We're just looking for a list of engineering firms, is 1859 03:37:18,651 --> 03:37:24,684 that what we're asking? Put together. We hope they won't. 1860 03:37:27,617 --> 03:37:29,577 We're not going to actually contract with them or if 1861 03:37:29,577 --> 03:37:39,334 we're hanger. On hand available. To then 1862 03:37:39,334 --> 03:37:46,713 bid on a project. They pre qualify. The option. To 1863 03:37:46,713 --> 03:37:51,923 go to them. Some inspiration. Do it for other types 1864 03:37:51,923 --> 03:37:55,662 of. Public works. 1865 03:38:02,565 --> 03:38:04,540 No. They would have to submit to say that they're 1866 03:38:04,540 --> 03:38:13,260 interested in working. I wouldn't steal somebody else's rfus. 1867 03:38:15,531 --> 03:38:23,429 What was Jenn's comment? That. Bomb and duplicate. 1868 03:38:32,352 --> 03:38:35,232 What was it? I forget. But the one he used 1869 03:38:35,232 --> 03:38:39,017 was better. R and D. 1870 03:38:45,154 --> 03:38:53,538 Any comments? Again on emotion. Thank you. Anybody. Comments. Okay. 1871 03:38:53,538 --> 03:39:02,946 All in favor then? Now we're down to bylaws. 1872 03:39:19,181 --> 03:39:22,981 I just wanted to go further to the treasurer boardwide 1873 03:39:22,981 --> 03:39:30,420 and have identified. The request that there was a resolution 1874 03:39:30,420 --> 03:39:37,382 that came forward. Including. Greater or more definitive language so 1875 03:39:37,382 --> 03:39:40,142 that people know about the t at default and where 1876 03:39:40,142 --> 03:39:43,502 the time is that has been included into this by 1877 03:39:43,502 --> 03:39:48,184 law. So specifically. In the bylaw. It does pay to 1878 03:39:48,184 --> 03:39:51,824 avoid giving penalty and interest regardless of your preferred payment. 1879 03:39:51,824 --> 03:39:59,917 Method. Business Day 04:30 p.m. On eastern standard time on 1880 03:39:59,917 --> 03:40:03,145 the installment due dates of security. I just wanted to 1881 03:40:03,145 --> 03:40:10,602 identify. That was included in the transfers report as being 1882 03:40:10,602 --> 03:40:12,762 something that we would be looking to do and we've 1883 03:40:12,762 --> 03:40:17,066 done it 2010. To make it? Yes. 1884 03:40:23,878 --> 03:40:32,019 She's got one and I got one. Motion mood bike. 1885 03:40:32,019 --> 03:40:40,060 Deputy mayor. Second by chance, but dark. The. Biologist. On 1886 03:40:40,060 --> 03:40:45,180 Tuesday, June 10, 2025 agenda as item 22.1 and that 1887 03:40:45,180 --> 03:40:47,660 the bylaw gives it the necessary readings of past and 1888 03:40:47,660 --> 03:40:53,413 number as bylaw. 225 30. Any questions on the bylaw 1889 03:40:53,413 --> 03:40:58,299 that. You were a bile student, correct? Any questions? All 1890 03:40:58,299 --> 03:41:04,609 favorite. Yeah, that'll be it. 1891 03:41:06,946 --> 03:41:10,866 Moved by councilor Jonker, second by councilor ladder. Be a 1892 03:41:10,866 --> 03:41:14,226 resolve that we're given to introduce the biological firm. The 1893 03:41:14,226 --> 03:41:17,146 proceedings of the regular council being held on Tuesday, June 1894 03:41:17,146 --> 03:41:22,346 10 2025 that we get them the necessary fantastic number 1895 03:41:22,346 --> 03:41:27,331 by law, 2025. All in favor? 1896 03:41:36,787 --> 03:41:46,644 That renounces. Council meeting panel. 945. 940. 1897 03:41:48,920 --> 03:41:50,480 On to meet again for regular council meeting on June 1898 03:41:50,480 --> 03:41:53,880 24, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. or at the call of 1899 03:41:53,880 --> 03:41:56,408 the. Waiver.
