Drake, can you hear me okay.
Can anybody hear me. I can hear you mayor. Thank
you. Thank you.
All right, good morning, everyone. We do have Corum, so
I'll call this meeting to order at 10 o'clock shirt
and I'll ask for a moment of silence and personal
reflection, please.
Thank you. It is important to begin each public gathering
with a Land and Territorial acknowledgement to recognise the indigenous
people for being good stewards of the Land and Environment.
Here where we're meeting today, the Township Brock is traditionally
being a hunting and fishing ground for First Nations peoples.
We reside on and benefit from the Williams Treaty Territories
on the Land of the Mississaugas in Chippewas. May we
share the Land as long as the sun rises, the
grass grows, and the river flows. For those that are
able, can we please stand for the Playing of our
National Anth.
All right. Thank you very much. Next up. Any disclosure
of Procurity and Trust for Members of Council. Seeing Nunnline
and Chambers. Perfect. And Community Announcements. Any Community Announcements, members
Council. Seeing that. We do not have any public meetings,
but we do have one Presentation 7. 1, which is
from Mr. Delight, which is our audit results Report Presentation.
Stephen, go ahead when you're ready. Nice to see you
again. You as well. Thank you very much. And as
I have done in the previous years, I'll be quick.
Here to report on the status of the audit. We
are largely completed this point. The substantive work has been
finished. A little bit of file cleanup to be done,
but no expectations of any changes to the statements which
have been provided to you in draft. I won't go
through those statements in any detail, but if you have
any questions, I'm sure between Trina and myself, we'd be
happy to answer them for you. I just want to
quickly go over the audit itself. Remind members of Council
that we are appointed by the township to perform an
audit. We do the audit in accordance with Canadian Auditing
Standards. Those standards were not, have not changed since last
year. And so our audit approach was consistent. The statements
themselves are prepared in accordance with Canadian Public Sector Accounting
Standards. There were no significant changes to those standards from
last year. And so you're accounting policies that were used
to prepare this year's statements are consistent with those in
the previous year. As I mentioned, we have completed the
audit. Our audit looks at everything. We don't just pick
a few accounts and test those. But we do identify
for you, those areas where we think there's either a
little greater risk or they're more complicated. So the errors
we identified for risk revenue into third revenue. Those are
significant because Canadian Auditing Standards say we have to treat
them that way. When it comes to a municipality, the
biggest risk is specifically with recognition of deferred amounts. So
development charge revenue, revenue, you would be receiving from certain
types of reserve funds that are obligatory as a term
we used. You can only recognise revenue from those revenue
streams when you incur eligible expenses. And so that's an
area where we tend to focus a lot on. And
our testing in those areas this year was fine. No
issues were identified. Management override of controls. Is another area
where accounting standards require us to treat it as a
significant risk. The idea being there is a risk that
management could override a system. You have internal controls in
place. We look at those controls and we're satisfied with
them. But there is always a risk that management would
attempt to override those controls. We do specific testing in
that area to address that, primarily journal entry testing. We
will identify all the journal entries that were posted during
the year. We then profile those entries looking for certain
characteristics. If the characteristics are present, we then select those
entries and take a closer look at them, making sure
they were properly prepared, approved and posted, but primarily we're
looking at it from a business perspective, does this entry
actually make sense. That testing was completed, no issues or
concerns were identified. There is no indication of managements over
out of control. Uh, and the third item that was
listed was, um, with regards to year and accruals and
other estimates. And this is a common one that we
would put in any of our audit plans. Uh, simply
because there are certain amounts at the end of a
year where management does have to estimate. Uh, your provision
front collectible taxes, um, uh, tools for salaries, wages or
other potential liabilities. Um, and because those are estimates, we
can't verify it a hundred percent when we do the
audit. So for those areas, what we do is we
just assess the process that was undertaken to come up
with the estimate. We take a look at the backup
supporting the estimate. And we conclude whether or not we
believe those estimates are reasonable based on all the information
that's available. And based on our testing, no issues are
concerns were identified. Um, in terms of the audit itself,
as I mentioned largely finished, we don't audit a hundred
percent of all transactions. We are in fact, uh, auditing
to a materiality level. Um, the materiali level that was
set for this year's audit was 600, 000 dollars that
is consistent with last year's What that means is if
we find errors that individually or cumulatively exceed 600, 000,
we would not be in a position to provide you
with a clean or unmodified audit opinion. Uh, if you've
looked at the draft, you will notice that the opinion
we're proposing is a clean, unmodified opinion, indicating that we
did not identify any, uh, significant errors or we didn't
identify any actually, um, and so, uh, we will be
able to provide a clean, unmodified opinion once we wrap
things up for good. On the second page of my
executive summary, you'll see a list of outstanding matters. Uh,
that we need to go through just to wrap it
up. One is a side management representation letter. Uh, a
draft of that was included in the package that we
provided. That's a letter that we will ask management to
sign back, uh, to us just asserting that they've essentially
told us the truth, the whole truth and nothing but
the truth. Uh, and providers with all the backup that
we needed to support everything, uh, that we were looking
for. Uh, subsequent events, they need to be reviewed up
to the date of our audit opinion. So essentially we
have to do an assessment of has anything occurred at
the township from the 31st of December up until, uh,
the, uh, the date of our audit opinion. And if
that is the case, we need to assess whether or
not they would impact on the financial statements, uh, at
December 31st. Now obviously lots has happened, uh, at the
township from December 31st to today, uh, but our focus
is on, was there anything that happened that should or
would have impacted what the numbers look like at December
31st. As of today, we are not aware of anything,
uh, would require any additional disclosure or changes. Uh, nor
do we expect to have anything, uh, from that. Um,
and then I mentioned already the third item on my
list completion of certain audit testing and documentation. Uh, we've
largely finished the audit as I say, uh, we just
have to go in and clean up our documentation and
make sure everything's been written down, et cetera, et cetera.
Um, that will happen within the next day or so.
And so, um, I'm quite comfortable that we'll be in
a position to issue your audit opinion very soon. Um,
the audit went well. Trina and her team were very
supportive providing us with information on a timely basis. Um,
and so from that, I really don't have anything more
to say other than we're close to being able to
wrap it up. And I think that's everything I need
to say. Perfect. Well, thank you very much, Mr. Deyn.
As council, that's what we want to hear is a
clean audit, obviously. So, uh, thanks again. Um, members of
Councillor Campbell, your first, go ahead. Uh, thank you, Mr.
Mayor and through you. Uh, first of all, to Stephen,
thank you for all the work you do, but especially,
thank you to Trina and her team because the fact
we have a clean audit really, uh, reflects the fact
that you folks are doing a good job and we
appreciate it. Absolutely. Thanks Lynn. Anyone else from Council. Seeing
none, seeing none on chambers. Okay. Uh, thanks again, Mr.
Lloyd. We'll see you next year, hopefully. Thank you very
much. Have a great day. Yep. You too. Uh, members
council, we do have a recommended motion. If I can
get a mover in a second here, please. Uh, move
by Councillor Frank, secular by Councillor Canavan, questions, comments. Seeing
none, all those in favor. That's carried. All right. No
delegations petitions. We do have some minutes to adopt. So
9. 1 mover in a seconder for the minutes, please.
Councillor Hodgson, Councillor Campbell as a secondary questions, comments on
the minutes. Seeing none online or in the chamber, all
those in favor. That's carried. Thank you. Well, now move
into subcommittees and I'll start with, uh, 10. 1, which
is Finance chaired by myself. And 1011, this is the
proposed 2027 budget. Uh, can I get a mover in
a second or for that, please. Uh, Regional Councillor Pettingale,
seconded by. Councillor Campbell. Just before I go to Council,
I just, uh, give a summary here. Of course, a
strong mirror budget. That is one thing that strong mayor
legislation does not let us, uh, defer back. So this
is a little delayed because of the election. That's what
this is about. So questions, comments to the mover, the
seconder. Go ahead, Crip. Thank you. And through you, um,
I'd just like to say that it's, um, it's very
reassuring that we're taking advantage of completing the budget process
as early as possible. Um, so that departments can move
forward with procurement activities, tender projects sooner. Uh, and schedule
work more effectively. So, um, it's really great to see
that this is, uh, happening for the township. Coming up.
Thank you very much. No problem. Just to clarify, it's
actually a little bit later because of the election. So
it's not terrible, but we did get it to approve
last year before Christmas, but it will be a little
bit later this year, uh, just because of the election.
That's also. Completing the budget process as early as possible
when it can be. That's like as per the report.
And do what we can do. Yeah. For sure. Thank
you. Okay. Any other members of council. Seeing none, all
those in favor. That's carried. Okay. 10 one two. I
need to move her in secondary. This is for operating
results actual to budget, which is our quarterly report. So
a mover. Councillor can of van seconder. Councillor Frank to
the mover and seconder. Uh, no questions or concerns. Thanks.
Okay. Councillor Frank is a secondary. Same. No questions. Thanks.
Okay. The other members of Council. Seeing none, I just
want to thank Trina and her team again for this.
I know we're pretty close to last year, maybe a
little bit higher, but, uh, to our Director of Finance.
Do you want to comment on anything? No concerns. Thank
you very much. Uh, through the chair, um, I think
most of what, um, I wanted to say, uh, tried
to incorporate into the report. I don't have anything other
than, um, what I've identified in the report. But thank
you for asking. Okay. Thank you. And I think we
all appreciate these reports. It definitely gives us a snapshot
of where we are, uh, moving through the budget year.
So thanks again for that. Okay. Seeing no other questions
or comments. I'll call the question. All those in favor.
That's carried. Thank you. Okay. Next up we have 10.
2, which is operations committee. And that's chair by regional
Councillor Petting. Bill go ahead, crew when you're ready. Thank
you very much. And welcome to Operations. We have three
reports this morning. Um, 10. 2. 1 Park Street Detication
as a public highway. Who would like to put this
one on the floor. Councillor
Campbell. And I would like to just ask the Director
of Operations to. Step up. And sorry, I'm looking for
a seconder as well. Yes, Mayor Jub, thank you. Um,
yes. So, um, Ben, if you wouldn't mind telling us
about this unnamed street in front of the arena, this
part of the road. It's actually not an unnamed street.
The street actually went across the arena property. The arena
property extended out into the right, well, there is no
right away. That's the problem. And this will create the
right way and clean this up. Thank you very much.
It's really good that, um, during the renovation of the
arena that we can get this straightened out. Any questions
or comments from the mover or the seconder. Nope. That's
all clear and well. Okay. I'm going to call the
question all those in favor. That carries. Uh, next is
10. 2. Looking at the load limit study on the
Purvis Bridge. Could I get someone to put this on
the floor, please? Councillor Canavan and Councillor Frank. Any questions
or comments on this one. Not for me. Thank you.
Nope. I'm not seeing any all clear. So in there,
therefore I'll call the question. All those in favor. Thank
you, that carries. And the third one is 10. 2.
3. This is a traffic calming report. Can I get
someone to put that on the floor, please? Mayor Jub
and Secondar Councillor Canaven. Thank you very much. Mayor Jub,
questions, comments on this. Yeah. Thank you very much, Chair.
Um, just a question on P Street. I know, uh,
Councillor Cannabin and a few others. We've been working on
some of this. Um, I don't see Peace Street on
the list. So do you need to add to this
to our Director of Public Works. I know it was
mentioned in there, but it's not in the actual motion.
That's right. Um, you can include it in the motion.
Amendment. Okay. So I'll just chair, I'll ask for a
friend named to include the recommendations for Beast Street for
the LED light and the four way stop. Excellent. Thank
you very much. And that's all I have. Thanks. Yeah.
Important to have that in there because it was discussed.
And we saw that, um, stop sign would be a
preferred option to ballards because of the trucks coming from
the south end of peace going north. Or going, you
know, the opposite direction. But the traffic for those ballards.
Yes. Councillor Canavan comments questions. Thank you. Um, I'd also
like to ask that further consideration be given to a
speed hump at P Street, the stop sign just before
Cameron. And the reason being is there's not just traffic
speeding northbound. It's also coming south of right off Cameron,
right on the piece. They're heading to the park or
wherever. That's where we see a lot of the racing
happening as well as when the morning shift or the
morning shift to the factory at the end of the
road happens, um, there's, uh, excessive speeds always at that
intersection. So although the four - way stop, I'm in
full support of that. That'll be definitely a deterrent coming
from the park, um, but the prohibit people from flying
on the pea street from Cameron. Thank you, Councillor Canavan.
I know that there are not funds for speed humps
right now. And I think that although we took that,
uh, suggestion for would, I think that's why we're not
seeing it in this report for action. It's not to
say that that couldn't be actioned at another time and
that it could be looked at. But, um, right now
we're contemplating items that are within the present budget. Unless
you'd like to add anything. Well, I guess that, oh,
sorry, go ahead, Ben. I couldn't see there. I was
actually planning on putting the radar speed board in that
area. Okay. That's helpful. Thank you. Um, secondly, I would
also suggest that we add, um, you know, when we,
when the request came about the changing the yield sign
to the stop sign that was specific to, um, mental
lands and windor, I believe in the meddling subdivision. And
so rather than just leave that for consideration down the
road, I wonder if we could at least follow up
with that request. It's one yield sign. I have a
feeling it's the only yield sign in that subdivision, um,
but to change it to a stop sign because there
was some concerns from a resident, uh, around that. And
I don't think we need to look at the entire
township to change every single yield sign to a stop
sign just to address this concern. Thank you very much
for that clarification. Councillor Kennevent. I'm just going to direct
that to our director. I wonder if this is something
that could come. Next. If Council wishes me to look
at it, you can add the add that to the
recommendation. All right. I'll ask that as a friendly amendment
to the mover. Yeah. I'm good with that. Can we,
uh, approve this today or does this have to come
back with a by - law. Sends to. Final.
That would have to be approved through a bylaw. Okay.
So yeah, I'm good with the friendly amendment. I just
have to come to the next meeting in September for
that portion. That's all. Okay. Anything else, cancer kind of
event? No, your hand is now down. Councillor Frank. Oh,
that's it. Thank you. Yes. Thank you, Madam Chair, through
you, to Director of Public Works. Um, and you're one
of the, I think it's seven. You said the yield
signs you don't have and half. Um, I'm just curious
of why you do half and half, not all of
them. Like I drilled by there every day. And you
almost going to come to stop and those geosigned to
be doing property anyways. Cause you could just, you could
summon them R blind. You don't see the car until
you get close to it. So I'm just curious why
we couldn't do all of them at once. Budget considerations.
Okay. Apparently we have 2000 signs over 2, 000 science
to maintain in the township. You actually have more than
that. There's 2000 signs that I have to check the
reflectivity on every year, which includes stop sign, yield signs,
et cetera regulatory signs. And then there's other signs beyond
that. I just thought we're talking about Cannington here, not
the whole, not the whole township. I'm not sure that
there's too many yield signs outside of Cannington. I'd have
to check. If you want a full report on the
changing yield signs over, then add that to the recommendation
too. And I'll bring one forward. I'm up to the
mover. I wouldn't mind seeing it. Mayor Jub, any comments
on that at this point? Yeah. My, my opinion. That's
going to be a lot of public consultation. That's changing
a whole lot of that's a major move. So I
would recommend that for now, because of the cost, let's
just approve what's here for now. And let's let the
new council talk about that with a new budget. That
would be my opinion. Okay. I'm fine with that, Madam
Chair. Thank you. That's all I have. Thank you, Councillor
Frank. Any other questions, comments on this, um, item. No,
I'm not seeing any. So I'm going to call the
question. All those in favor. Thank you, that carries. Any
other comments or questions under operations before I hand it
back to Mayor Jump? Yes, thank you, Mayor Judd. Thank
you, Chair. Just looking for an update on our rural
roads program that we're quite in depth with right now.
And most specifically our external contractor for ditching and what
the update that that is. Yeah. He worked last week.
And I think we're done. To a locations or three.
And then we're headed to the next one, but he
had other work to do. On like today, tomorrow and
Wednesday. So we won't be back until Thursday. Okay. Once
the external contract contractor's done with, we budgeted 30, 000,
um, are we going to continue on our own throughout
summer fall. I haven't made that decision yet. But I
will. Shortly. Okay. And the other, uh, brushing and shouldering,
how are we doing on that portion of it? The
brushing is, uh, going along well. And the berm removal
kind of have to wait for that a bit because
you take the dirt out onto the calcium and then
it gets dusty. So we'll wait until a little later
to start that. Okay. But everything in the report from
a month ago, that's still on track to be completed
in 2026. I hope so. I said in the report
that it was a lot of work. And we're working
away at it as much as we can. Okay. And
is there going to be a follow up report on
that in September? That gives us six weeks at least
of work. So can you maybe just do an internal
memo for the next council meeting just to see where
we are on those KPIs? Sure. Okay. Perfect. Thank you.
That's ultra. Thank you very much. And I don't see
any other comments or questions. So I'm going to hand
it back to you Mayor Jub. Thank you, Regional Councillor
Penningale. Next up is 10 three, which is Park Record
Facilities. And that's chaired by Councillor Campbell. Lynn, go ahead.
Yes. Welcome to Park Rex and Facilities and through you,
Mr. Mayor, our first report, 10. 3. 1 is the
MacLeod Park update. And Councillor Canavans, the mover of the
Recommended Motion. We would like to second it. Your job.
Would you like to speak to account, Sir Canada. Um,
just to say thrilled finally beginning this, um, in more
reformal, uh, you know, something that we can present to
the public, um, they've been waiting a long time. Uh,
lots of great initiatives on this as we saw, um,
back in our meeting, I think it was last October,
but nice to have some prioritization given to some of
the, um, improvements and new initiatives. And, um, yeah, we
had a great discussion. We all seemed on the same
page, the subcommittee. So, uh, I'm anxious to see some
of these move forward. Thank you for your remarks. Mayor
job is the seconder. You have the flow. Thank you,
Chair. Y'all just echo what Angela said. It's definitely excited
to get this going. I actually went for a walk
through the whole park on Saturday just to see, uh,
get my head around it all. And the work that
we've already done in the last couple of years, like
pavilions and the playground and now starting the basketball and
pickleball. So the locks on the go, which is great
to see. Um, I do have some questions. So I
see these three priorities, which we definitely need to narrow
down on. I don't see a whole lot talked about
the multipurpose field, which was budgeted, uh, this year to
do casting. I know it is mentioned in their assemblance,
but I'm just clarifying that that's still getting done. Through
the chair to the mayor. We are still planning on
doing the soil testing. Um, as per the budget, it's
just that the field was not a prioritie of the
committee. During our discussions. Okay. And that's what I'm getting
at. So it was a priority in budget discussions. So
I think that, that was passed by this council. So
that still has to go. That's already directed to go
ahead. And now I see we're going to add these
three for pricing into the next year's budgets, but that
was. After public consultation, right. Sorry, Mr.
Mayor, you, uh, you broke up on our end here.
Oh, sorry. Yeah. So that was budgeted. That was already
approved in this year's budget to move forward with the
field testing. So as long as that's going to happen
this year and that's still a project that cause that
was approved by Council. Yes. That's still going to proceed.
Okay. And then we're going to price out the additional
three for five grants opportunities next year's budget and so
on. That's correct. Yes. Okay. One of my main priorities
is a splash pad for Cannington and Sunderland to be
honest. Um, how, I see we're putting washrooms and moving
forward with washrooms and starting the design using beavertons. And
I like that idea. How can we include pipe pricing
and all the infrastructure for the splash pad. To the
motion. We would have to look at, um, where the
water connections are best to come from. In order for
us to make some determinations as to where that would
depricing would be. Okay. I'd really like, well, I'm going
to recommend that we do add that to this. Um,
I know we don't have water right now, but this
is when we start planting for it now for these
projects, right? And I think a splash pad is something
the residents would welcome with open arm. So, um, I
would like to add to the motion just to price
out the splash pad infrastructure as part of this. Mover.
Councillor Canada. Yeah. Definitely support that. And thank you for
bringing that forward, Mayor job. I've also seen that as
a huge priority, but, you know, we've been told again
and again, no water. It's going to be like so
far down the list, but it would be good to,
yeah, just investigate it, be kind of prepared since we
are looking at it for the washers as well. So
when the time is right, we can jump in there
and get some cool down, uh, activities going on. Are
you, um, finish Mayor job. Do you have any more
questions or comments? No, I just like what Angela said
there. This is of course we're doing the environmental assessment
now. What water and sewage capacity is going to come.
And I'd hate for that to come in five years
time and we haven't done any crap work for that.
So as long as it's on the list of four,
then I'm happy. So I'm going to thank you, Chair.
I agree splash pads are, are great for families. Does
anyone else from Council have a comment or a question
regarding the cloud park report. I don't see everybody's
picture on the screen now. So if you don't have
your, if you have your hand up, please contact me
verbally. Can the mover in second or just please confirm
that the wording in the resolution that shared on the
screen is correct? I'll just get my two cents, Mary
Lee. So I don't think Splash Pratt infrastructure. Which is
like getting the pipes and whatnot there. I don't think
we'd be the, to the point of pricing a full
splash pad at this point just to get everything ready
to go. And this is a number of years down
the road. So just splash bad infrastructure, but not actually
the splash pad. Yeah. I'm good with that.
Okay. I think it's time to call the question. All
those in favor of doing this fantastic park. And that
looks unanimous. Thank you very much. Our second report is
regarding the Beavert and Harbour Washington. It's 10. 3. 2.
Do we have a mover. Councillor Frank and a seconder.
Councillor, sorry, Mayor Job. Don't want to demote you. Would
you like to speak to it Councillor Frank. Yeah. Thank
you through you, Madam Chair. Just, uh, looked at the
report. I didn't just look at it, but I'm just
thinking that it's too bad that it did come up,
uh, over budget. But, uh, maybe the treasure could tell
me, just remind me how much is in that parked
reserve. Through the chair at the end of 2025, we
roughly had about 270, 000 dollars in the parks reserve.
So I was going to cut into a quite significantly.
About an easy get done too. So, uh, once we,
we put it's awarded the timeline for construction. Through the
two frank, the tender included construction being completed prior to
December. So I believe it was mid - November. So
we're not paying for winter heat. Okay. Thank you. I
just, um. It's not, we usually open during a winter,
if I can recall. Is that correct? That is correct.
The current building is not heated and not designed for
winter heat. Uh, the new building, it was requested by
Council that these be made for full season or year
round. Therefore, there is included heating and heat tracing for
piping and such. Okay. Thank you. Uh, that's all I
have, Madam Chair. Thank you, Councillor Frank. To the secondary
job. Thank you, Chair. I just want to point out
what our Director of Finance just noted that our parks
reserve has very little amount in that. So Council needs
to be aware that is an underfunded reserve. And I
can't stress that enough. And Trino will tell us the
same thing. So we need to get that reserve pumped
up. And I just wanted to throw that out there
again. Thank you. Good point. Uh, Councillor Canavan. Thanks Councillor
Campbell. Um, yeah, that's exactly my concern. Uh, we'd be
using over half of this reserve. And we just looked
at a beautiful park plan that, you know, any, anything,
this restricts so many other things. And I think there's
even something else coming up on the agenda asking for,
you know, additional money, um, is there, is there any
other, uh, reserve? This could be coming from. I guess
a question for Trina? No, there isn't. Then I would
say also like Mayor Jub, I think we need to,
obviously this project needs to be complete. You know, we
already deemed it's very important. Um, we want to see
something similar in Cannington, but, uh, I think we do
have to then make a concerted effort to put, uh,
replace a lot of those funds in the park reserve
and get building that up again. That's kind of got
to be a priority for the next council, uh, during
budget. Can make a note somewhere. Mayor job, you have
your hand up. Yeah. I just want to do, I
know I talked about this in budget as well, but,
uh, I know we're replacing a bathroom, but it is
a much more elaborate bathroom. I'm wondering if we can
use maybe 10 or 20 percent from our DC reserve.
It was not specifically mentioned in the DC by -
law unless it's part of the sort of placeholder that
we had. There was a placeholder there on, I can't
remember what the wording was specifically. I'd have to check,
to be honest. Um, and I will say that we
are not collecting much in DCs lately. Um, there's not
a significant amount of, um, parks DC's available either. Okay.
So just to Councillor Canavan's point, as we move into
the MacLeod Park in the coming years, hopefully we get
building happening. All the good stuff. But, uh, the, the
DCs at that time could be used for a lot
of the McLeod Park plan if it's a new initiative.
Is that correct? If I could, it has to be
a growth related project. Like a splash pad. Both related
project. Okay. Then we might be able to make the
argument, but if it's not growth related, I can't use
the DCs. Okay. But a new initiative such as a
splash pad would be eligible. Again, it's all depends if
there's growth in the municipality. I can't say for sure.
Um, if there'd be growth to warrant the splash pad
and we collect the money, then I might be able
to use it. If not, then we can't. Yeah. Okay.
Just a two old moving forward. We'd obviously, we'll try
to utilise DCs as much as we can moving forward,
but we also know we need to get building going
again. So that's all. Thank you. Thank you. Uh, Councillor
Canavan, you still have your hand up. Yeah. I just
wanted to add to that because, um, it was the
last Council meeting. I was thinking of where we were
talking about the dissatisfaction of some of the components of
the King Street Park. You know, and we would look
to Park's budget at that as well. So I'm just
getting concerned that there's on this unexpected money going, you
know, to places when we've also got to keep in
our mind that there's these new initiatives that have been
on not so even new. It's been on the map
for 12 plus years. MacLeod Park Plan. So I just,
uh. Just want to make sure that the money's being
spread through at the township. Thank you. Any other questions
or comments from Councilmembers. I don't see any hands. So
maybe we'll call the question. All those in favor. And
that's Carrie. Thank you very much. I believe that concludes
Park's Reck and Facilities unless anyone has another issue they
like to bring up. If not, back to you Mayor
job. Thank you, Chair Campbell. Next up is 10 -
4, which is tourism at Dev and Community Committee, which
is carried by Councillor Canavan. Go ahead, Angela. Thanks, manage
up. There are no reports for this committee at this
time. Are there any questions from Council members for staff.
Seeing none, I'll pass back to you. Thank you, Councillor
Canavan. 10 - 5 is next, which is Protection Services,
and that's chaired by Councillor Frank. Go ahead. Peter. Thank
you, Mr. Mayor. We have three reports. First report is
10. 5. 1. Report a Fire Department personnel. I need
a mover and seconder. And ends the can.
Any questions or concerns. Yeah, just to the Chief Chair,
um, I haven't seen a report like this before. So
what's the rationale? I'm, I'm happy with it. Just watch
so Ashton Ellen. Is this something we'll see yearly? And
what's our maximum number? Is it 90 Firefighters right now.
Through the chair to the mayor. Yeah, I just thought
it was a good idea. Yeah, it hasn't been done
in quite some time. Uh, we did make up some
plaques and hang them in the fire hall to display
who firefighters are. But I thought it was a good
idea to put it out there just to, cause we
have had some change over. Um, and the maximum across
the board is 90 firefighters. So we're, uh, I try
to maintain the best I can, 30 at each station.
We are low at 8, 1 and 82, but we're
pretty good at A3. So I just thought it was
idea to put that out. Okay. And the turnover in
the volunteer firefighter world is just the name of the
game. Right. So, um, when is the next recruitment class
and at higher plant. We get a lot of questions
on that. That's all. Yeah. Through the chair to the
mayor, the next plan is, uh, we'll probably start advertising
in around late October. And the interviews and come up
with a list and start the training in around January,
February. Okay. Perfect. Thanks for this. I like the report.
That's great. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Uh, two secondary, Angela.
Go ahead. Thank you. Um, yeah, just as I mentioned
in the report, uh, we certainly are grateful and proud
of our, uh, Firefight of personnel and thank them for
their Detication and skill set and effort. Thanks. Thank you.
Next, uh, I think I got, uh, Castle Campbell. Oh,
thank you chair Frank. I'd just like to thank, um,
Chief Harrison for the report. It was interesting to look
through the names. I recognise quite a few. I just
think that Brock is very fortunate because considering we're small
municipality. So many people step up to serve as volunteer
firefighters. So thanks to all. Thank you. Uh, Cancer Chambers.
Go ahead region Council Pentagon. You hand up. Thank you.
Yes. Thank you very much. And through you. Um, I
would just like to echo that. It was really wonderful
to see the names of these familiar residents in Brocktown
Chip. And we are incredibly grateful for how highly trained
they are and their responsiveness. And it was great to
see those reports. So thank you so much. Thank you.
Anybody else for questions. No, um, I just want to
echo that, uh, what's Misa already. I think, uh, Chief,
we usually get a pretty good response to call outs
for recruits. Is that correct? Yes. Through the chair. Yes.
We do get quite a few applicants apply. And we
have some right now actually on file that we'll look
at, uh, yeah, we usually do get a lot of
applicants. Yeah. Cause you look around and I still have
a lot of friends in an Ontario and all this.
You look at the Recruit classes. They might even have
just four or five, but we seem to have pretty
good response to our, uh, ads. So see, no other
questions. They'll call the question. On camera. Oh, I can't.
No, sorry. Sorry. I couldn't see your hand with that,
with your background. I wasn't talking either. Uh, again, I
just wanted to share the same thing. I really appreciate
everyone's work and through you, Mr. Chair and thank you,
uh, to Fire Chief Harrison as well. Uh, it's really
great to see that was a really interesting report. So
thank you. Councillor Hodson. Okay. Uh, now I'll call the
question. All in favor of report. That passes. Let's go
to 10. 5. 2. And that is the By -
Law Animal Service Division. I need a mover. Council Canville.
And secondary. Councillor Hodgson. To the mover. Any question? No,
I'm just, uh, always very interested to see the activity
in animals services and thank everybody for all they do.
Thank you. And to the seconder. Thank you. And through
your, uh, same. I really, this is one of my
favourite reports to be honest to see what's going on
and what's coming through to us. So, uh, thank you,
uh, Sarah for her work and her team's work. And
chambers. Joseph Pineco? Yes. Thank you very much. And through
you, um, to Sarah. I noticed that, um, the number
of injured wildlife reports. Significantly from 24 and 25. And
it's really great to see this. I just wondered if
you had any comments on that. It is, it is
absolutely great to see. Um, that it has gone down.
Um, we haven't had a lot of the expected bird
flus and things like that happen, which was a concern.
So we are happy about that. Um, it's just one
of those things that fluctuates year to year, depending on
certain diseases that might be found in the environment. But
on the whole, yes, we're doing well with wildlife services
at the moment. A few extra bears this year, but
other than that, it's been okay. Thanks very much for
that. Mary Chub. Thank you, Chair. I just heard Sarah
say the word flu and things are looking good. So
would this be a good time to bring an amendment
forward or a motion forward to allow back - aired
chickens and all our urban areas now. That's a joke,
Sarah. I know. I was going to say through the
chair to the mayor. Probably not the greatest time. It
is in my Almerita though. We'll leave that for now.
Thank you. Thank you Mr. Mayor. That's a pretty good
joke there. Um, so a new report, you mentioned, sir.
You mentioned that, um, vehicles and all that, uh, we
spent some money, I believe last budget to get your
van fixed up. Is that failing again? Uh, yes. Both
of them are having some failures due to age, both
the by - law truck and the animal services van,
unlike most of the vehicles within the municipality. Ours actually
run 365 days a year in our staff for on,
of course, in the summer till midnights. And we have
on call. So those vehicles are more so operating, consistently.
And they're both reaching their seventh and eighth year. So,
um, it's just that type of impact. So we're looking
at, um, again, one of the vehicles had to go
in with for a significant amount of repair. It's just
use. It's expected. We get the oil changes every month
or very great on the maintenance of them. But it's
just wear and tear for their aging. So I know
that we're looking at some, um, stuff in the future
to be able to replace at least one or two
of them. Um, to get something more consistent, you know,
through our reserves and other things, um, in, uh, future
budget years. As per our replacement, um, for vehicles that
the Council has a policy on. And I'm sure, like
usual, we'll get the report that what needs to be
fixed and et cetera, et cetera. So in the future,
that's something they've got to think about down the line
for the mayor's budget. Um, so any other questions to
staff. Seeing none, I'll call the question, all of favor.
That's passes. So the last report is 10. 5. 3.
And if they're department stats, I need to move in
a second here. Uh, Councillor Hudson and Marichub.
To mover. Through you. Uh, no questions for me again,
as I've already said, I really like these reports. I
think it's great to see what's going on in the
township. And to see all the hard work that our
staff we're doing. Orange. Thank you to the seconder. All
good here. Thank you. Thank you. Uh, Chambers. Good, thank
you. I'm all good. Okay. Good. Great report. No questions.
I'll call the question. All in favor. And not pass
back to you, Mr. Bear. Thank you very much, Councillor
Frank. Next up we have 10. 6, which is Development
Services. Uh, I will share that if everyone's okay with
that with the Councillor Double dot here. Okay. And there's
nothing on the agenda, but any questions to staff. See,
not a liner in the chamber. I will now go
on to 10. 7, which is General Government Committee, which
is chaired by Councillor Hodgson. Ron, go ahead when you're
ready. Excuse me, Mr. Mayor. I had a question. Couldn't
get my hand up quick enough. Go ahead. Go ahead.
Sorry about that. Sorry. Okay. Um, to Director of Not
Public Words Director Parks, I just noticed walking around that,
um, the Kingston, when the King Street did. Log with
Park Track as being repaired from the, because it runoff
in the storm, all the water we had. The material
you being used, where are we getting that? It's the
same as a track. It doesn't look like it. Through
the chair to Councillor Frank. I'm not sure what was
done. I'll have to, uh, check with staff to see
what repairs. If there was anything done there, it would
have been, uh, dragging of material. It may just be
a different colour due to it. It's moisture content. Uh,
checking. I will respond to via email. Thank you. Uh,
uh, thing about the track. It's getting a lot of
growth in the middle of the track. From CC leans,
I try to pull one out and look at a
tree. I wonder if something can be done about getting,
uh, just trimming it or doing something to get declared
right in the middle of the track. There's getting some
stuff growth in there and really shouldn't be. So I
don't know what can be done. Again, I haven't been
by the track recently. I will, uh, allow staff to
take a look at it and report back to me.
Okay. Thank you. That's all I have, Mr. Mayor. Thank
you. Uh, go ahead, Run. Almost forgot it was me
again. The first report we have is 2026 GG 012
on Closed Meeting Investigator Program from our Deputy Clerk. Can
I get a motion. In a seconder. I'll move it.
Count Canaven and seconded by, uh, Regional Councillor Pettingale to
the mover. I had no questions or comments. It's straightforward.
Thank you. Till the seconder. Yeah. Thank you. Likewise, no
questions or comments. Good housekeeping. Anyone else. Not seeing any
alcohol the question. All those in favor. Past. I have
a loaded docket today. Do, sorry. Just so I'm Claire.
Do we need to there's a. Bylaw. Marilyn. Do we
need to. That's just fine as it is. That's Marley
there by Laws section as well. Okay. So we don't
need that's all included. Thank. You. Okay. Then we'll go
on to 2026 GG 013 from our acting CAO and
the clerk. I kind of get a motion and a
seconder. It's Vestergar Drainage petition. I'm happy to move this.
Motion by regional Councillor Peningale seconded by Councillor Canaven to
the motion. Thank you. Um, I'm happy to go with
the recommended motion. And I just had a little question.
It's the costs are added to the tax role and
recovered over a prescribed period. I just wondered if we
could get a little clarification from Clerk's Department on what
that looks like. To chair to Regional Councillor Ben Gill.
So the, um, this is an application for a new
municipal drain and similar to our other municipal drains that
we already have in place when the engineers report is
concluded. It will identify the number of properties that are
contributing to this drain. And, uh, each property will be
assessed based on, uh, overall size and contribution to the
drain. And it'll be a percentage of the total cost
that we'll be added to the tax roll. And, and,
and sorry, just to also advise, pardon me, any future
maintenance to a municipal drain. Uh, over the years, the
municipality will put those costs aside. And then, uh, allocate
those costs to the drains at an appropriate time period.
Thank you very much. Yes. So I do agree again
with, um. With the recommendation that the petition for drainage
signed by Chris Festergaard submitted under the Authority of Section
4 of the Drainage, be accepted. Thank you. Thank you.
And to the secondary. Councillor Canaven. Uh, no comment. Thank
you. Uh, Mayor Trub. Thank you, Chair. Um, just a
couple of questions. I want to actually just clarify. I
have been through one of these, uh, a few of
us here have, I think about eight years ago with
the eight strain. Just to staff. And again, this is
provincial legislation that we're the lucky ones that have to
administer it. Um, if anybody asked, we don't just want
to do these things because they do tend to, they're
a little bit controversial because as the acting CAO said,
people will be legislated to, they have to pay for
their portion. Um, on that, if the township could be
in the engineer report as well, that we, we could
be forced to put some work in our ditch. So
there could be a cost of the township. Is that
fair. Through the chair to, Mayor Judd, that is correct.
If there's lands of the township owns, including any roadways
that are contributing to the drain or need to improve
the drain, then we will be part of that assessment.
Okay. And last question is, uh, if Mr. Vestergaard, if,
if they pull out of this and decide, I don't
want to go any further is, are they responsible for
all the incurred costs up to them? Through you, uh,
chair to Mayor Jub. You had previously, uh, noted the
Yates Drain. That was your last exercise. Um, that, that
applicant did withdraw. And all the costs were absorbed by
them. So yeah, similarly, uh, in this particular, um, exercise,
uh, as you had rightfully stated, it does, uh, does
become potentially contentious with neighbours. Uh, the engineer's report will
completely deal with that. And then the, the applicant at
any point in time prior to the adoption of the
official municipal drain chem withdrawal their application and be responsible
for all costs, including the engineer's costs. Okay. And the
public tends to come to Council on these issues, especially
when they hear that they might have to pay a
hundred thousand dollars. I'm just throwing a number out there.
But our response is that this is provincial legislation under
the drainact Act that we have no choice but to
administer. Is that do I have that right? Again, through
your chair to Mayor Judd, um, I wouldn't throw out
a hundred thousand dollars. That tends to scare people a
lot. Yeah. I just a number. Yeah. I would wait
to the engineer's report to see what the numbers are.
But yes, it, uh, it is provincially legislated. We're just
the conduit for the applicant to the other, other, um,
attributing property owners that are contributing to the drain. And
we'll, we'll appropriate the costs associated through the report. Okay.
Just that helps council when they do get calls. Cause
we will get calls. And I didn't mean to throw
the hundred thousand dollar number out there, but the eighth
grain was more than a hundred thousand for some neighbouring.
So they, these things tend to get very expensive at
all. I'm trying to say. So okay. That's all. If
I may, um, through your chair, just add another point
of interest to council in all likelihood, the engineer's report,
um, and public meetings will not come to council until
probably the 2027 schedule. That's all for me, Chair. Excellent.
Thank you very much. Great questions, Majorab as well. Thank
you. Could I ask any questions. Yep. Thank you. Uh,
Regional Council Tanga. Thank you. Um, and I hear what
Mayor Jeb says and I remember the Yates Dream, but
just to the clerk, um, with this Resident asking for
the Drain to be looked after in this way. Could
you just maybe go over, if it didn't go this
way, alternatives. You know, how else this could be resolved.
For your chair to Regional Council Baringill. The alternatives would
be that, uh, the property owner and the property owners
would deal with it independently whether that's a towel drain
on their existing property. Or trying to deal with the
neighbours on, uh, private matter. Thank you. And I can
only assume it's coming to us as this, uh, recommendation
for whatever reason had to bring it here. So thank
you. Thank you. Renato, do you have another question or
set them. Mr. Trent. Perfect. Uh, anyone else. I will
call the question all those in favor. Past. Bear with
me for one second. Uh, 2026 GG 014 2027 Council
Meeting Schedule. Can I get motioned or in a seconder.
Mag travel. Councillor Frank. To the mover. Nothing
to the secondary. Nothing any questions. Maybe straightforward, I think.
Excellent. I'll call the question. All those in favor. Past.
I think. That concludes me. Oh no. The rail storage
is minus well. Right. Yeah. Uh, sorry, Garth, thank you,
girl. I'm not used to having so many twenty six
GG 015. So request from the Beaverton Lions regarding rail
container storage, uh, beside the current line shed in Bieverton.
Can I get a mover in a seconder. Uh, Councillor
Frank Councillor Canaven to the mover. I can sit another
reason why we should have that report there would take,
they would take that, it would look, you probably wouldn't
even see it, but they, they're willing to put a
fence around it and all this and make a look
half decent. And that's, you know, that's reality of the
times now. A lot of people use containers for storage
drive around to miss pally. You'll see a lot of
containers. So I have no issue with, uh, doing that,
having it, uh, there. And I'm pretty sure they will
make a look pretty good. Thank you. Just a point
of order. Yeah. Right now the motion is just do
nothing. It's receive. Okay. And Councillor Canavan. Read the
second. Am I losing my mind. I am the secondary.
And I was going to add that we actually approve
that request rather than just receive it. And simply, yeah,
for the fact that, well, all of our lions, you
know, do such a tremendous amount of work to improve
our communities and, you know, I'm sure they will make
it not look, um, it will blend in. I'm not
concerned about the look. We had to do it for
the haunted trail. And if not for that, we would
no longer be running. So we certainly don't want to,
um, you know, they have the challenges if we can
address them, we do. So I'm in support, uh, I'd
like to recommend that we add to approve the request.
You support that as well. As a mover, I just
realised too on my screen, I had the old, the
old, uh, um, motion up there. See, I'd be happy
to, uh, Prethering that if possible. And I see the.
Awesome. Air job. Yeah. I just, I want to clarify
because the lot to this. So, um. Okay. So we're,
what you're putting in the motion is we're approving the
40 foot container. Temporarily or is there a timeline or
is it. Forever. And there's also talking to Mr. Amanda.
He's probably going to say what I'm going to say.
We also talked to them about having two 20 foot
containers, which could avoid a lot of the building permit
stuff and all that. So I'll, I'll pause for a
minute if we want to go to fern. Uh, Mr.
Amanda, do you want to share. Thank you through chair
to Council. Um, so I felt it necessary to put
together a short memorandum so that Council considers the different
requirements and actions with regards to this request by the
lions. And it's, it's not that staff or not supportive
of it. Obviously we want to support our community groups.
I want Council to be fully aware of what they're
approving. Um, the 40 foot container has previously requested by
the Lions, um, I have been advised by our billing
office that it does require a building permits. The lines
have been made aware of that. They indicated that they're
more than happy to proceed through that process and obtaining
a building permit. There's a cost with that, of course.
Um, the alternative would be two 20 footers. Uh, again,
they have to meet setback from the existing building. The
one particular item I want counseled to be considerate of
is that this building, um, unlike the haunted trail, uh,
location of the rail containers, it is sort of front
and centre in the park. And, um, you know, rail
containers, yes, they can be painted. They can be cladded
to make it look like a building. However, Council should
keep in mind that they are just a temporary structure
realistically and Council, given that this is your park and
one of your main locations at the harbour should have
consideration of what this park. Um, looks like and is
used like for all users at that park for longer
term. And that's why we're, we're wondering if, yes, a
fence, um, cladding or cladding on the building can, you
know, sort of mask it for the time period. But
as Council wanting it to be there for a long
period of time or is it, are you going to
put a time period on it and have, have the
user groups enter into discussions with each other. And I'm,
I'm calling on the agricultural society, the lions, um, maybe
some other users down there. Enter into discussions with the
municipality on looking at expanding some of those existing buildings
that are there that are being used for storage. And
if that makes a more logical sense for your main
park at the harbour on how it looks in the
future. And, and if, if council is asking the lions
to go ahead with the container, then you want it
fenced as opposed to cladded. Than the fence height in
order to be above the container will be above our,
our fence by - law, which we'll also need a
fence variance that has to be part of the resolution.
Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Filana. Yeah. Thanks. That does
help clarify my understanding as well. I did talk to
the immediate past president last weekend. This is definitely temporary
for the club as a interim solution, but I do
agree. I'm on the fair board and we're ready to
talk about buildings as well and probably invest into one
building down there and maybe not all the other. So
I think that's a longer term solution that we do
need to talk about. Um, if we approve, I would
like to see a proving or giving the Lions the
option of a 40 or 220s as part of the
motion. Now the 220s, do they still need to go
through the whole engineer and all the red tape? Or
is that just for the 40 footer. Through chair to
Mayor Jubb, I'm not sure. Robin is on the call,
but I'm not sure that she can answer a building
code question. Um, I think that, uh, engineer part is
with respect to changing the structure of the building itself.
Robin's on screen. Thank you. Yeah. I would have to,
through the chair, I'd have to confirm with the chief
building official. Okay. That's fair. Um, I would just like
to move her in second or to add, give the
options of two 20s or 140. And I also want
to know how we can move forward with the fence
offence is a definite less than I did talk to
the club about that. How can we move forward with
approving the fence now to avoid more red tape more
time? Can this be done by Council today. Through you
chair to Mayor Jub, the fence, if that's Council's preference,
uh, part of the resolution should include a fence variance
approval for the height of the fence around the containers.
Container or container. Okay. So that's what I would recommend
to the mover in secondary. Everything there, two 20s or
a 40 and also approve the fence variance. So we're
not going to see this he can basically is what
it is. And, and for Council's awareness, there is a
cost to the fence variance as well. Okay. I just
need clarification on that. Sorry. So many times we get
to applications. Hey, I want to build a six foot
fence in my front yard. If we approve it, I
don't think they pay anything, do they? Through you, Chair,
they do. They prepare that fence variance prior to coming
to Council. So Council proving the height of this, um,
this fence that is being proposed. You will have to,
uh, amend, or you will have to provide offence variants
and there will be a cost to that. Okay. But
we can basically pre - approve it today. So there's
no more red tape. It's just the Lions would have
to pay and they can move because we don't have
a meeting to go through this. Right. So that is
correct. Okay. I hope the clerk's team have all that
written down there on the motion. That was going to
be my question. Uh, thank you, Mercha. Uh, Councillor Frank.
Yes, thank you to you. Um, that was interesting. I,
uh, I wasn't aware of what Fernando brought forward. But
I still don't think that the Lions would push back
too much on this. So I'm okay with that amendment
to the original motion. Thank you. And to our second
Councillor Can. Yeah, just to add, obviously this will be,
there'll be some communications between staff and the lions because,
you know, we don't know what they're storing. I'm assuming
it's something that they want close by to their shed
and thus the need for, see, can. Cause it's not
the best solution, but sometimes, um, it's the only solution.
So however, you know, I just think we'll come up
with a great agreement between the two of them giving,
um, consideration to the, to the look and feel of
the, uh, fairgrounds. Um, now, Firn, were you seeing there
was, I thought I read two about the Outback buildings
of the fairgrounds. Are they vacant like they're available for
you. Through your chair to Councillor Kemit, sorry. I'm not,
I'm not quite understanding the Outback building. So just for
Council's sake, I should have pulled up the site plan
for the fairgrounds. But there's a line shed that's existing.
Um, off to the left of the driveway where you
enter that, that rear portion of the fairgrounds. There's, uh,
what was label as the pet barn. Which was previously
owned by the Ag Society, but we've come to understand
that the lines have taken ownership of the pet barn.
Okay. That's what I was thinking. Nice to the pet
barn is the scout hall, which is owned by the,
uh, agricultural society. And I believe they, they understand that
they're using it for storage currently, but they are looking
at, um, longer term, maintenance to that building as it
needs some repairs as well. Okay. Thanks for the clarification.
Any other questions from Council. Councillor Panika? Thank you very
much. And through you. Um, I'm just very happy that
we're actioning this, um, report today. Um, so that the
lions can go ahead with their planning. And, um, I,
you know, I understand it is a temporary situation. And
I don't think a timeline, uh, needs to actually be
put on that because I'm sure, um, the close communication
in terms of, um, changing and improving the buildings that
they do have use of right now. So I'm just
glad to see because of everything they do for the
community that we're actioning this. Thank you. Thank you.
Uh, I guess we go back to chambers. And we
want to put the, sorry, uh, either firm or mayor
job. I'm just looking for the movie. There we go.
Mr. Lamanadia questions. Thank you. Jury just wanted to ensure
that, uh, merely had the resolution upon the screen so
that we can fully understand what council's voting on. Um,
one thing I think you merely for putting the fence
variance, one thing I have not, I don't see in
the resolution, but I did hear it in general discussion
is the timeline of this temporary structure. And, um, I
think, I think it should be part of this resolution.
Um, and I leave it up to Council to discuss
what that timeline is. If it's, uh, one to three
years, three to five years or greater than five, but
I think it's only fair to the lions as well
to, to have that understanding that Council's only approving this
on a temporary basis. And that, that we're inviting the
lines and the other users of that fair grounds to
sit down with the municipality to have discussions about their
buildings that they own. Um, and, and the future of
those buildings moving forward. Thank you. Thank you. Mayor Chab.
I would recommend that initial approved period be five years
and the Lions could come back to Council if they
need an extension on that. Thank you. Councillor Frank. Yeah.
Um, I tend to agree with that five years and
longer because I don't know how you can put a
timeline. Definite timeline on something like that. When they obviously
needed for storage. And to say, okay, uh, we only
have this for three years. Now we got to look
somewhere else, come back and all this. Um, I'm okay
with putting a temporary and they come back in five
years to see if they can, uh, either, because then
you got to take the fence down. You got to
do all kinds of work to it and all this.
So I agree with that. That's Steven a five years
and come back in five years and see where, um,
where they're at where they can expand and all that.
I just looked at the picture of that building itself.
I don't know where to expand that. The one storage
area they have now because it's pretty close to walking
track. And stuff like that. So I can't see putting
a definite stoppage timeline. So five years and then come
back and talk. I agree with that. Thank you. Thank
you. I'm good with that. Too. Okay. Perfect. Mad Treb?
Yeah. I just want to add to that, that if
a further extension is required, then it would come back
to Council at that time. Just so it's not a
five year. If the, who knows what's happening in five
years. Okay. I'll just wait for.
The strike to catch up.
Okay. That looks good to everybody. Oh. I will call
the question. All those in favor of the new Resolution.
Excellent. Past. That concludes all the reports. Uh, any questions
to township staff. Seeing none, I will pass it back
to you. Mr. Manja. Thank you Councillor Hodgson. That is
it for subcommittees. I believe. Yes. Uh, next up is
section 11, which is our correspondence. There's a number of
correspondence. So we'll start with 11. 1 looking for a
mover in a second or onto that. Councillor Canavan seconded
by Council Regional Councillor Beningal. Angela, anything is the mover.
Um, just for clarification, um, sorry. This is 11. 1,
correct? That's right. Yeah. Okay. Um, yeah, Broxy HC has
not been had any consultation on this to date just
so that Council's aware, uh, you know, we are actively
participating in, um, initiatives to increase mental health resources to
the North. Our recent funding is strictly allocated to implementation
plan. So it's not like we can just take on
requests for, um, other initiatives. But, um, glad to see
it will be coming to the CHC. And maybe there's
some way to figure out other ways to bring resources
here. But I'm not sure if that one specifically would
be something that Berkshire HC is able financially to take
on. Okay. Uh, to the seconder. Thank you very much.
And through you. I do support the recommendation that we
forward this to the Durham Region Police Services. I see
that some of the recommendations in this correspondence are beyond
the scope of the township. But generally to move this
forward, this idea of having the MCRT in Beaverton, just
generally moving it forward, I think it's a good idea
for us to forward this to the Durham Police. Thank
you. Yeah, for sure. There's a lot of this already
happening now. Of course, with our increased police presence, this
is all part of it, but this is getting worse
solidify it to get a little more pressure on there.
I would like to see that maybe this council endorsed
this after received, just that, uh, Brock Council endorse. Just
wondering if the mover in seconder would be okay with
that. I think just as far as the CHC detail,
um, is included. We can't speak for that part. Exactly.
Yeah. Yeah. We're, we're just sending it there though. Right.
The CHC will make their decision then. We're just referring
this to the CHC. And we're just supporting that basically
that we want to maximize regional deployment in North Durham.
Absolutely. That's all we're doing. Absolutely. I endorse that. Yeah.
There's no hog tie in any group here. We're just
referring it to those organisations, including the region. We're just
endorsing that yes, we would want to see maximizing the
regional deployment. That's all. Ok. Move her in secondary. We're
okay with that. I fully understand this EHC can't be.
I get it. Totally insane. Okay. Okay. Any other questions
comments, council. See, not all those in favor. That's carried.
Thank you. Okay. Next up is 11. 2, which is
Traffic Coming Measures again on side road 18a for Mr.
Collins. Um, before I, to make it easier before I
ask for a motion or mover and a seconder, we
do have bollards that we not using on Peace Street.
I would recommend a Council that we put in this
motion to use those bullards on this stretch once it's
redone this fall. Just throwing out there is a recommendation.
And I'll look for a mover. Councillor Canavan seconded by
Councillor Hodgson. Um, okay. So I just want also find
out how often the traffic common committee is meeting because
as we know, these last requests that just came to
Council are over a year old. So yeah, I don't
want to sit with this for a year. Yeah. That's
why I'm recommending. That's just to prove this now. And
then everything's off our plate for that committee. Oh, that
committee will disband for this year. Or just until further
requests come up. But right now this would be the
only additional quest that needs actioned. Yeah. I was kind
of hoping it would have been part of the other,
uh, report. Cause yeah, let's I agree. Let's action it
rather than have it sit there. So, um, that's certainly
one option. Worth trying. Okay. And we just have it.
Right. We don't have budget for all this, but we
have all these bowlers, which is a pretty perfect location
there. So I would just recommend take out the bottom
part of the motion. The Council Direct staff to refer
this to ad hoc committee and just add to receive
it and approve bullards for that location from 11 to
regional Road 12. Concession 11 to regional. Do they, uh,
stay in the wintertime. No. No. So. You might need
to revisit again in the winter season. Because there is,
there is excessive speed and there's concerns around the steep
hill, especially with the, um, bus, the school bus. And
we've had a similar complaint like this before. So. There
might be further consideration to do, but I think that's
a great interim solution, Mike. So I support that. Okay.
And then at least it's something for this year. And
then, uh, it'll probably be those butlers would probably only
be in for six weeks or so by the time
the roads were redone. But once they redo the road,
there's going to probably be speeding issues even further. Right.
So, okay. And then yeah, this could be revisited in
the future. The secondary, are you okay with that. I'm
good with that. I just have one question and it's
a slick question. The bullards are the down the middle.
Yeah. Okay. Perfect. Yeah. Used to go down to the
harbour and then all the lake houses. That's what I
thought. I just want to make sure I was clear.
Yep. Okay. You're good. Yeah. I'm good with that. Thank
you. Okay. Councillor Frank. Yeah. I echo that too. Thank
you, Mr. Mayor. I believe anywhere in a talented blowing
speed is not a bad thing. Obviously I like to
see a throat toe township. So whatever we can do
now. And then a new term. We can revisit. If
you have to and do whatever we got to do.
Thanks. For sure. Yeah. These bollards we invest a lot
of money and they weren't even deployed this year. So
let's use them where we can. Right. So. Okay. Any
other regional councillor peningale. Go ahead. Yes. Thanks very much.
And through you. I like, um, I like your suggestion
for now when the road is done to put the
ballards there. But, um, as Councillor Kenneth said, you know,
there have been a number of complaints along there. And
we do need calming traffic calming solutions for, um, for
the fall, you know, for the other three months, three
seasons of the year. So. I would suggest that, um,
I mean, it's not too much for the committee to
meet, but I would like to keep this alive. Perhaps
some, you know, I haven't investigated myself in terms of
signs. But in certain areas, you know, we even use
slow down signs. Uh, I'm not sure if the school
bus signs there, but I think we, um. I think
we actually have to probably look at this again with
the traffic calming committee, you know, just to make sure
we have solutions to the other three seasons. Okay. So
leave that in there and just add bollards to it
then. That's all. Okay. Okay. Great. Thanks. So move our
secondary. Are we good with that? Okay. Yeah. Anybody else
on council. Uh, to our clerks team. That's you got
that one. So basically the, the same motion that's on
there, we're just going to add the bollards for the
end of 26. That's all. Okay. See no more questions.
We'll call the question all those in favor. That's carried.
Thank you. All right. Next up is 11. 3 and
this was pulled by Regional Council Headingal from the CII.
I'm assuming you're going to move the motion for you.
Yes. Thanks very much. I'd like to move the motion.
But in addition to this afternoon or you're adding to
the motion. No, it's just like DCS in addition to
receiving it for information. I'd just like to clarify that
we are endorsing it, which would mean that the township
would send a letter back to the Rescue Lake Simco
Coalition stating our endorsement of the report. Okay. You'll need
a seconder for that. Councillor Canavan. Go ahead, Krioz the
mover. Yeah. No, that's it. That's it, Mike. Okay. And
second, Angela. Nothing to add things. Remember it's Council questions
comments. All right. Seeing none, all those in favor. Oh.
That's carried. Robin, go ahead. Sorry. Sorry. I was trying
to find my, uh, hand icon. The only thing I
would note is that one of the recommendations in that
report does have us endorsing a stop on the North
Land or in Peffrelloff as opposed to Beaverton. Oh, we
don't want that. Oh, you're right. That's a very good
point. We want it in Beaverton. Maybe just a clarification
on that. Okay. So I would recommend Regional Councillor Petting
Guild that when we send the endorsement that we would
be very clear that we are endorsing and stop in
Beaverton, I actually did talk to the chair of Rescue
Lake Simco Correlation. And he just, he said he supports
Beaverton as well. Cause I, I caught that a couple
of weeks ago. So I would add that to the
motion in our letter very clearly. We are supporting the
Beaverton stuff. Yeah. A hundred percent, a hundred percent. And
Ms. Prentice, thank you very much for catching that on
the motion. Okay. We already carried that. We passed that
anyway. So staff will just add that the Beaverton wording
on that as direction. Thank you. All right. One second.
Okay. That is it for correspondence. We have no notice
is a motion. We do have a couple of bylaws.
So 13 one 13 two. Mover in a seconder for
both. Councillor Campbell, Councillor Frank questions comments. Seeing none, all
those in favor. Those are carried. Okay. We now have
a closed session. So I will just read it out.
Uh, Bet Resolve the Council Proceed into a closed meeting
at 1126 a. m. to discuss the following matters. Information
trade secret scientific technical commercial or financial information that belongs
to the Mist Valley and has monetary value pursuant to
section 2392 June Liette of the Municipal. And this is
in regards to 14. 1. Southern Le Memorial Arena Renault
Project Update. So looking for a mover on that. Councillor
Campbell and Councillor Hodgson. And to the public, we will
be now going in closed session and we will be
back to rise and report at the appropriate time. All
those in favor. Why don't we take five minutes for
a bio break and we'll meet you on Closed on
teams. Thank you. That's carried by the way.
All right, I'll call this meeting back to order an
open session. Thanks for the patience, everybody. We do have
a recommended motion number 15, so be it Resolve the
Council Rise and Report from Closed Medium and Council at
1233 PM, and the Council endorse all direction provided by
staff, or sorry, two staff at the closed meeting of
Council held today's date. So a mover in a seconder
for that, please. Councillor Frank, Councillor Campbell, questions, comments. Seeing
that all those in favor. That's carried, thank you. Other
business, any other business council. Seeing none? Perfect. Okay, Regional
Councillor Update, of course, there's no regional meetings until the
inaugural meeting in the fall, but I have requested a
meeting with our North Durham Police Inspector, and that's going
to, I think he was just calling, so that's going
to take place this week sometime, still seeing some problems
throughout Bieberton areas of Cannington that I want to ensure
that's being addressed and just bring some issues forward to
him. So if there's anything that Council wants me to
bring forward, just shoot me an email or give me
a call, and I'll bring that forward at the appropriate
time when I meet with him. Reach on Councillor Penningham.
As you say, new meetings, since we met last, thanks.
Okay, perfect. Thank you. Any questions to Regional Councillor Penning
Geller myself. Seeing none. Thanks. Okay, Public questions clarification. Do
we have any to the clerks team. No questions received.
Thank you, Merley. Next up, the confirmation by Law, looking
for a mover in a seconder. Councillor Canavan, Councillor Hodgson,
questions, comments. See, not all those in favor. That's carried.
Okay, the German, moving a seconder for Germans. I have
Regional Councillor Pettingill and Councillor Hodgston. All those in favor.
We are adjourned at 1235, much better than I expected.
Everyone have a good day and a good summer. Thank
you, staff. And we will be back in September to
finish up the term, basically. So thanks everyone. Have a
great day. Recording stopped.
