[1:26]
Drake, can you hear me okay.
[1:41]
Can anybody hear me. I can hear you mayor. Thank
[1:49]
you. Thank you.
[5:00]
All right, good morning, everyone. We do have Corum, so
[5:02]
I'll call this meeting to order at 10 o'clock shirt
[5:04]
and I'll ask for a moment of silence and personal
[5:06]
reflection, please.
[5:27]
Thank you. It is important to begin each public gathering
[5:30]
with a Land and Territorial acknowledgement to recognise the indigenous
[5:33]
people for being good stewards of the Land and Environment.
[5:35]
Here where we're meeting today, the Township Brock is traditionally
[5:38]
being a hunting and fishing ground for First Nations peoples.
[5:41]
We reside on and benefit from the Williams Treaty Territories
[5:44]
on the Land of the Mississaugas in Chippewas. May we
[5:46]
share the Land as long as the sun rises, the
[5:48]
grass grows, and the river flows. For those that are
[5:51]
able, can we please stand for the Playing of our
[5:53]
National Anth.
[7:43]
All right. Thank you very much. Next up. Any disclosure
[7:47]
of Procurity and Trust for Members of Council. Seeing Nunnline
[7:52]
and Chambers. Perfect. And Community Announcements. Any Community Announcements, members
[7:57]
Council. Seeing that. We do not have any public meetings,
[8:04]
but we do have one Presentation 7. 1, which is
[8:07]
from Mr. Delight, which is our audit results Report Presentation.
[8:11]
Stephen, go ahead when you're ready. Nice to see you
[8:13]
again. You as well. Thank you very much. And as
[8:16]
I have done in the previous years, I'll be quick.
[8:21]
Here to report on the status of the audit. We
[8:26]
are largely completed this point. The substantive work has been
[8:30]
finished. A little bit of file cleanup to be done,
[8:33]
but no expectations of any changes to the statements which
[8:36]
have been provided to you in draft. I won't go
[8:39]
through those statements in any detail, but if you have
[8:42]
any questions, I'm sure between Trina and myself, we'd be
[8:45]
happy to answer them for you. I just want to
[8:47]
quickly go over the audit itself. Remind members of Council
[8:52]
that we are appointed by the township to perform an
[8:54]
audit. We do the audit in accordance with Canadian Auditing
[8:59]
Standards. Those standards were not, have not changed since last
[9:03]
year. And so our audit approach was consistent. The statements
[9:06]
themselves are prepared in accordance with Canadian Public Sector Accounting
[9:10]
Standards. There were no significant changes to those standards from
[9:14]
last year. And so you're accounting policies that were used
[9:17]
to prepare this year's statements are consistent with those in
[9:20]
the previous year. As I mentioned, we have completed the
[9:24]
audit. Our audit looks at everything. We don't just pick
[9:28]
a few accounts and test those. But we do identify
[9:33]
for you, those areas where we think there's either a
[9:35]
little greater risk or they're more complicated. So the errors
[9:39]
we identified for risk revenue into third revenue. Those are
[9:45]
significant because Canadian Auditing Standards say we have to treat
[9:48]
them that way. When it comes to a municipality, the
[9:52]
biggest risk is specifically with recognition of deferred amounts. So
[9:57]
development charge revenue, revenue, you would be receiving from certain
[10:01]
types of reserve funds that are obligatory as a term
[10:06]
we used. You can only recognise revenue from those revenue
[10:10]
streams when you incur eligible expenses. And so that's an
[10:14]
area where we tend to focus a lot on. And
[10:17]
our testing in those areas this year was fine. No
[10:19]
issues were identified. Management override of controls. Is another area
[10:25]
where accounting standards require us to treat it as a
[10:28]
significant risk. The idea being there is a risk that
[10:31]
management could override a system. You have internal controls in
[10:35]
place. We look at those controls and we're satisfied with
[10:38]
them. But there is always a risk that management would
[10:41]
attempt to override those controls. We do specific testing in
[10:44]
that area to address that, primarily journal entry testing. We
[10:49]
will identify all the journal entries that were posted during
[10:52]
the year. We then profile those entries looking for certain
[10:56]
characteristics. If the characteristics are present, we then select those
[10:59]
entries and take a closer look at them, making sure
[11:02]
they were properly prepared, approved and posted, but primarily we're
[11:06]
looking at it from a business perspective, does this entry
[11:09]
actually make sense. That testing was completed, no issues or
[11:13]
concerns were identified. There is no indication of managements over
[11:16]
out of control. Uh, and the third item that was
[11:19]
listed was, um, with regards to year and accruals and
[11:22]
other estimates. And this is a common one that we
[11:25]
would put in any of our audit plans. Uh, simply
[11:28]
because there are certain amounts at the end of a
[11:30]
year where management does have to estimate. Uh, your provision
[11:34]
front collectible taxes, um, uh, tools for salaries, wages or
[11:39]
other potential liabilities. Um, and because those are estimates, we
[11:44]
can't verify it a hundred percent when we do the
[11:45]
audit. So for those areas, what we do is we
[11:48]
just assess the process that was undertaken to come up
[11:51]
with the estimate. We take a look at the backup
[11:53]
supporting the estimate. And we conclude whether or not we
[11:56]
believe those estimates are reasonable based on all the information
[11:59]
that's available. And based on our testing, no issues are
[12:03]
concerns were identified. Um, in terms of the audit itself,
[12:07]
as I mentioned largely finished, we don't audit a hundred
[12:10]
percent of all transactions. We are in fact, uh, auditing
[12:14]
to a materiality level. Um, the materiali level that was
[12:18]
set for this year's audit was 600, 000 dollars that
[12:21]
is consistent with last year's What that means is if
[12:24]
we find errors that individually or cumulatively exceed 600, 000,
[12:29]
we would not be in a position to provide you
[12:31]
with a clean or unmodified audit opinion. Uh, if you've
[12:35]
looked at the draft, you will notice that the opinion
[12:38]
we're proposing is a clean, unmodified opinion, indicating that we
[12:41]
did not identify any, uh, significant errors or we didn't
[12:45]
identify any actually, um, and so, uh, we will be
[12:49]
able to provide a clean, unmodified opinion once we wrap
[12:53]
things up for good. On the second page of my
[12:56]
executive summary, you'll see a list of outstanding matters. Uh,
[13:00]
that we need to go through just to wrap it
[13:02]
up. One is a side management representation letter. Uh, a
[13:06]
draft of that was included in the package that we
[13:08]
provided. That's a letter that we will ask management to
[13:11]
sign back, uh, to us just asserting that they've essentially
[13:14]
told us the truth, the whole truth and nothing but
[13:17]
the truth. Uh, and providers with all the backup that
[13:19]
we needed to support everything, uh, that we were looking
[13:22]
for. Uh, subsequent events, they need to be reviewed up
[13:25]
to the date of our audit opinion. So essentially we
[13:28]
have to do an assessment of has anything occurred at
[13:31]
the township from the 31st of December up until, uh,
[13:36]
the, uh, the date of our audit opinion. And if
[13:39]
that is the case, we need to assess whether or
[13:41]
not they would impact on the financial statements, uh, at
[13:45]
December 31st. Now obviously lots has happened, uh, at the
[13:48]
township from December 31st to today, uh, but our focus
[13:51]
is on, was there anything that happened that should or
[13:54]
would have impacted what the numbers look like at December
[13:56]
31st. As of today, we are not aware of anything,
[14:00]
uh, would require any additional disclosure or changes. Uh, nor
[14:03]
do we expect to have anything, uh, from that. Um,
[14:07]
and then I mentioned already the third item on my
[14:10]
list completion of certain audit testing and documentation. Uh, we've
[14:13]
largely finished the audit as I say, uh, we just
[14:16]
have to go in and clean up our documentation and
[14:18]
make sure everything's been written down, et cetera, et cetera.
[14:21]
Um, that will happen within the next day or so.
[14:23]
And so, um, I'm quite comfortable that we'll be in
[14:27]
a position to issue your audit opinion very soon. Um,
[14:31]
the audit went well. Trina and her team were very
[14:36]
supportive providing us with information on a timely basis. Um,
[14:41]
and so from that, I really don't have anything more
[14:45]
to say other than we're close to being able to
[14:48]
wrap it up. And I think that's everything I need
[14:50]
to say. Perfect. Well, thank you very much, Mr. Deyn.
[14:55]
As council, that's what we want to hear is a
[14:57]
clean audit, obviously. So, uh, thanks again. Um, members of
[15:00]
Councillor Campbell, your first, go ahead. Uh, thank you, Mr.
[15:05]
Mayor and through you. Uh, first of all, to Stephen,
[15:07]
thank you for all the work you do, but especially,
[15:10]
thank you to Trina and her team because the fact
[15:12]
we have a clean audit really, uh, reflects the fact
[15:15]
that you folks are doing a good job and we
[15:17]
appreciate it. Absolutely. Thanks Lynn. Anyone else from Council. Seeing
[15:25]
none, seeing none on chambers. Okay. Uh, thanks again, Mr.
[15:29]
Lloyd. We'll see you next year, hopefully. Thank you very
[15:31]
much. Have a great day. Yep. You too. Uh, members
[15:35]
council, we do have a recommended motion. If I can
[15:37]
get a mover in a second here, please. Uh, move
[15:40]
by Councillor Frank, secular by Councillor Canavan, questions, comments. Seeing
[15:44]
none, all those in favor. That's carried. All right. No
[15:50]
delegations petitions. We do have some minutes to adopt. So
[15:53]
9. 1 mover in a seconder for the minutes, please.
[15:56]
Councillor Hodgson, Councillor Campbell as a secondary questions, comments on
[16:00]
the minutes. Seeing none online or in the chamber, all
[16:05]
those in favor. That's carried. Thank you. Well, now move
[16:09]
into subcommittees and I'll start with, uh, 10. 1, which
[16:12]
is Finance chaired by myself. And 1011, this is the
[16:15]
proposed 2027 budget. Uh, can I get a mover in
[16:18]
a second or for that, please. Uh, Regional Councillor Pettingale,
[16:23]
seconded by. Councillor Campbell. Just before I go to Council,
[16:27]
I just, uh, give a summary here. Of course, a
[16:30]
strong mirror budget. That is one thing that strong mayor
[16:33]
legislation does not let us, uh, defer back. So this
[16:36]
is a little delayed because of the election. That's what
[16:38]
this is about. So questions, comments to the mover, the
[16:42]
seconder. Go ahead, Crip. Thank you. And through you, um,
[16:51]
I'd just like to say that it's, um, it's very
[16:53]
reassuring that we're taking advantage of completing the budget process
[16:57]
as early as possible. Um, so that departments can move
[17:00]
forward with procurement activities, tender projects sooner. Uh, and schedule
[17:05]
work more effectively. So, um, it's really great to see
[17:09]
that this is, uh, happening for the township. Coming up.
[17:15]
Thank you very much. No problem. Just to clarify, it's
[17:18]
actually a little bit later because of the election. So
[17:21]
it's not terrible, but we did get it to approve
[17:23]
last year before Christmas, but it will be a little
[17:25]
bit later this year, uh, just because of the election.
[17:28]
That's also. Completing the budget process as early as possible
[17:32]
when it can be. That's like as per the report.
[17:35]
And do what we can do. Yeah. For sure. Thank
[17:37]
you. Okay. Any other members of council. Seeing none, all
[17:42]
those in favor. That's carried. Okay. 10 one two. I
[17:50]
need to move her in secondary. This is for operating
[17:51]
results actual to budget, which is our quarterly report. So
[17:55]
a mover. Councillor can of van seconder. Councillor Frank to
[18:01]
the mover and seconder. Uh, no questions or concerns. Thanks.
[18:06]
Okay. Councillor Frank is a secondary. Same. No questions. Thanks.
[18:13]
Okay. The other members of Council. Seeing none, I just
[18:17]
want to thank Trina and her team again for this.
[18:20]
I know we're pretty close to last year, maybe a
[18:22]
little bit higher, but, uh, to our Director of Finance.
[18:25]
Do you want to comment on anything? No concerns. Thank
[18:32]
you very much. Uh, through the chair, um, I think
[18:35]
most of what, um, I wanted to say, uh, tried
[18:38]
to incorporate into the report. I don't have anything other
[18:42]
than, um, what I've identified in the report. But thank
[18:45]
you for asking. Okay. Thank you. And I think we
[18:48]
all appreciate these reports. It definitely gives us a snapshot
[18:51]
of where we are, uh, moving through the budget year.
[18:53]
So thanks again for that. Okay. Seeing no other questions
[18:56]
or comments. I'll call the question. All those in favor.
[19:01]
That's carried. Thank you. Okay. Next up we have 10.
[19:06]
2, which is operations committee. And that's chair by regional
[19:09]
Councillor Petting. Bill go ahead, crew when you're ready. Thank
[19:12]
you very much. And welcome to Operations. We have three
[19:16]
reports this morning. Um, 10. 2. 1 Park Street Detication
[19:23]
as a public highway. Who would like to put this
[19:25]
one on the floor. Councillor
[19:32]
Campbell. And I would like to just ask the Director
[19:38]
of Operations to. Step up. And sorry, I'm looking for
[19:41]
a seconder as well. Yes, Mayor Jub, thank you. Um,
[19:47]
yes. So, um, Ben, if you wouldn't mind telling us
[19:49]
about this unnamed street in front of the arena, this
[19:54]
part of the road. It's actually not an unnamed street.
[20:02]
The street actually went across the arena property. The arena
[20:07]
property extended out into the right, well, there is no
[20:12]
right away. That's the problem. And this will create the
[20:15]
right way and clean this up. Thank you very much.
[20:20]
It's really good that, um, during the renovation of the
[20:24]
arena that we can get this straightened out. Any questions
[20:27]
or comments from the mover or the seconder. Nope. That's
[20:33]
all clear and well. Okay. I'm going to call the
[20:35]
question all those in favor. That carries. Uh, next is
[20:42]
10. 2. Looking at the load limit study on the
[20:46]
Purvis Bridge. Could I get someone to put this on
[20:48]
the floor, please? Councillor Canavan and Councillor Frank. Any questions
[20:57]
or comments on this one. Not for me. Thank you.
[21:04]
Nope. I'm not seeing any all clear. So in there,
[21:06]
therefore I'll call the question. All those in favor. Thank
[21:11]
you, that carries. And the third one is 10. 2.
[21:16]
3. This is a traffic calming report. Can I get
[21:20]
someone to put that on the floor, please? Mayor Jub
[21:26]
and Secondar Councillor Canaven. Thank you very much. Mayor Jub,
[21:32]
questions, comments on this. Yeah. Thank you very much, Chair.
[21:36]
Um, just a question on P Street. I know, uh,
[21:39]
Councillor Cannabin and a few others. We've been working on
[21:41]
some of this. Um, I don't see Peace Street on
[21:44]
the list. So do you need to add to this
[21:47]
to our Director of Public Works. I know it was
[21:52]
mentioned in there, but it's not in the actual motion.
[21:54]
That's right. Um, you can include it in the motion.
[21:59]
Amendment. Okay. So I'll just chair, I'll ask for a
[22:03]
friend named to include the recommendations for Beast Street for
[22:06]
the LED light and the four way stop. Excellent. Thank
[22:09]
you very much. And that's all I have. Thanks. Yeah.
[22:13]
Important to have that in there because it was discussed.
[22:16]
And we saw that, um, stop sign would be a
[22:20]
preferred option to ballards because of the trucks coming from
[22:24]
the south end of peace going north. Or going, you
[22:28]
know, the opposite direction. But the traffic for those ballards.
[22:32]
Yes. Councillor Canavan comments questions. Thank you. Um, I'd also
[22:39]
like to ask that further consideration be given to a
[22:42]
speed hump at P Street, the stop sign just before
[22:46]
Cameron. And the reason being is there's not just traffic
[22:50]
speeding northbound. It's also coming south of right off Cameron,
[22:54]
right on the piece. They're heading to the park or
[22:56]
wherever. That's where we see a lot of the racing
[22:58]
happening as well as when the morning shift or the
[23:03]
morning shift to the factory at the end of the
[23:05]
road happens, um, there's, uh, excessive speeds always at that
[23:10]
intersection. So although the four - way stop, I'm in
[23:14]
full support of that. That'll be definitely a deterrent coming
[23:17]
from the park, um, but the prohibit people from flying
[23:24]
on the pea street from Cameron. Thank you, Councillor Canavan.
[23:27]
I know that there are not funds for speed humps
[23:31]
right now. And I think that although we took that,
[23:33]
uh, suggestion for would, I think that's why we're not
[23:36]
seeing it in this report for action. It's not to
[23:39]
say that that couldn't be actioned at another time and
[23:42]
that it could be looked at. But, um, right now
[23:46]
we're contemplating items that are within the present budget. Unless
[23:53]
you'd like to add anything. Well, I guess that, oh,
[23:57]
sorry, go ahead, Ben. I couldn't see there. I was
[24:00]
actually planning on putting the radar speed board in that
[24:03]
area. Okay. That's helpful. Thank you. Um, secondly, I would
[24:10]
also suggest that we add, um, you know, when we,
[24:13]
when the request came about the changing the yield sign
[24:17]
to the stop sign that was specific to, um, mental
[24:21]
lands and windor, I believe in the meddling subdivision. And
[24:28]
so rather than just leave that for consideration down the
[24:32]
road, I wonder if we could at least follow up
[24:36]
with that request. It's one yield sign. I have a
[24:39]
feeling it's the only yield sign in that subdivision, um,
[24:42]
but to change it to a stop sign because there
[24:45]
was some concerns from a resident, uh, around that. And
[24:48]
I don't think we need to look at the entire
[24:51]
township to change every single yield sign to a stop
[24:55]
sign just to address this concern. Thank you very much
[24:59]
for that clarification. Councillor Kennevent. I'm just going to direct
[25:06]
that to our director. I wonder if this is something
[25:08]
that could come. Next. If Council wishes me to look
[25:17]
at it, you can add the add that to the
[25:20]
recommendation. All right. I'll ask that as a friendly amendment
[25:25]
to the mover. Yeah. I'm good with that. Can we,
[25:29]
uh, approve this today or does this have to come
[25:31]
back with a by - law. Sends to. Final.
[25:44]
That would have to be approved through a bylaw. Okay.
[25:49]
So yeah, I'm good with the friendly amendment. I just
[25:52]
have to come to the next meeting in September for
[25:53]
that portion. That's all. Okay. Anything else, cancer kind of
[26:00]
event? No, your hand is now down. Councillor Frank. Oh,
[26:03]
that's it. Thank you. Yes. Thank you, Madam Chair, through
[26:07]
you, to Director of Public Works. Um, and you're one
[26:12]
of the, I think it's seven. You said the yield
[26:15]
signs you don't have and half. Um, I'm just curious
[26:19]
of why you do half and half, not all of
[26:21]
them. Like I drilled by there every day. And you
[26:25]
almost going to come to stop and those geosigned to
[26:27]
be doing property anyways. Cause you could just, you could
[26:29]
summon them R blind. You don't see the car until
[26:32]
you get close to it. So I'm just curious why
[26:35]
we couldn't do all of them at once. Budget considerations.
[26:44]
Okay. Apparently we have 2000 signs over 2, 000 science
[26:48]
to maintain in the township. You actually have more than
[26:53]
that. There's 2000 signs that I have to check the
[26:57]
reflectivity on every year, which includes stop sign, yield signs,
[27:02]
et cetera regulatory signs. And then there's other signs beyond
[27:07]
that. I just thought we're talking about Cannington here, not
[27:11]
the whole, not the whole township. I'm not sure that
[27:17]
there's too many yield signs outside of Cannington. I'd have
[27:22]
to check. If you want a full report on the
[27:27]
changing yield signs over, then add that to the recommendation
[27:31]
too. And I'll bring one forward. I'm up to the
[27:35]
mover. I wouldn't mind seeing it. Mayor Jub, any comments
[27:43]
on that at this point? Yeah. My, my opinion. That's
[27:46]
going to be a lot of public consultation. That's changing
[27:49]
a whole lot of that's a major move. So I
[27:52]
would recommend that for now, because of the cost, let's
[27:55]
just approve what's here for now. And let's let the
[27:57]
new council talk about that with a new budget. That
[27:59]
would be my opinion. Okay. I'm fine with that, Madam
[28:02]
Chair. Thank you. That's all I have. Thank you, Councillor
[28:04]
Frank. Any other questions, comments on this, um, item. No,
[28:10]
I'm not seeing any. So I'm going to call the
[28:12]
question. All those in favor. Thank you, that carries. Any
[28:19]
other comments or questions under operations before I hand it
[28:23]
back to Mayor Jump? Yes, thank you, Mayor Judd. Thank
[28:28]
you, Chair. Just looking for an update on our rural
[28:30]
roads program that we're quite in depth with right now.
[28:33]
And most specifically our external contractor for ditching and what
[28:36]
the update that that is. Yeah. He worked last week.
[28:44]
And I think we're done. To a locations or three.
[28:50]
And then we're headed to the next one, but he
[28:51]
had other work to do. On like today, tomorrow and
[28:57]
Wednesday. So we won't be back until Thursday. Okay. Once
[29:01]
the external contract contractor's done with, we budgeted 30, 000,
[29:06]
um, are we going to continue on our own throughout
[29:09]
summer fall. I haven't made that decision yet. But I
[29:13]
will. Shortly. Okay. And the other, uh, brushing and shouldering,
[29:20]
how are we doing on that portion of it? The
[29:22]
brushing is, uh, going along well. And the berm removal
[29:29]
kind of have to wait for that a bit because
[29:31]
you take the dirt out onto the calcium and then
[29:34]
it gets dusty. So we'll wait until a little later
[29:37]
to start that. Okay. But everything in the report from
[29:42]
a month ago, that's still on track to be completed
[29:45]
in 2026. I hope so. I said in the report
[29:51]
that it was a lot of work. And we're working
[29:54]
away at it as much as we can. Okay. And
[29:59]
is there going to be a follow up report on
[30:00]
that in September? That gives us six weeks at least
[30:04]
of work. So can you maybe just do an internal
[30:06]
memo for the next council meeting just to see where
[30:08]
we are on those KPIs? Sure. Okay. Perfect. Thank you.
[30:13]
That's ultra. Thank you very much. And I don't see
[30:18]
any other comments or questions. So I'm going to hand
[30:21]
it back to you Mayor Jub. Thank you, Regional Councillor
[30:25]
Penningale. Next up is 10 three, which is Park Record
[30:27]
Facilities. And that's chaired by Councillor Campbell. Lynn, go ahead.
[30:30]
Yes. Welcome to Park Rex and Facilities and through you,
[30:33]
Mr. Mayor, our first report, 10. 3. 1 is the
[30:37]
MacLeod Park update. And Councillor Canavans, the mover of the
[30:43]
Recommended Motion. We would like to second it. Your job.
[30:48]
Would you like to speak to account, Sir Canada. Um,
[30:52]
just to say thrilled finally beginning this, um, in more
[30:58]
reformal, uh, you know, something that we can present to
[31:01]
the public, um, they've been waiting a long time. Uh,
[31:04]
lots of great initiatives on this as we saw, um,
[31:08]
back in our meeting, I think it was last October,
[31:11]
but nice to have some prioritization given to some of
[31:14]
the, um, improvements and new initiatives. And, um, yeah, we
[31:20]
had a great discussion. We all seemed on the same
[31:21]
page, the subcommittee. So, uh, I'm anxious to see some
[31:27]
of these move forward. Thank you for your remarks. Mayor
[31:32]
job is the seconder. You have the flow. Thank you,
[31:35]
Chair. Y'all just echo what Angela said. It's definitely excited
[31:38]
to get this going. I actually went for a walk
[31:39]
through the whole park on Saturday just to see, uh,
[31:42]
get my head around it all. And the work that
[31:44]
we've already done in the last couple of years, like
[31:47]
pavilions and the playground and now starting the basketball and
[31:51]
pickleball. So the locks on the go, which is great
[31:53]
to see. Um, I do have some questions. So I
[31:55]
see these three priorities, which we definitely need to narrow
[31:58]
down on. I don't see a whole lot talked about
[32:01]
the multipurpose field, which was budgeted, uh, this year to
[32:05]
do casting. I know it is mentioned in their assemblance,
[32:07]
but I'm just clarifying that that's still getting done. Through
[32:12]
the chair to the mayor. We are still planning on
[32:14]
doing the soil testing. Um, as per the budget, it's
[32:19]
just that the field was not a prioritie of the
[32:24]
committee. During our discussions. Okay. And that's what I'm getting
[32:28]
at. So it was a priority in budget discussions. So
[32:33]
I think that, that was passed by this council. So
[32:35]
that still has to go. That's already directed to go
[32:37]
ahead. And now I see we're going to add these
[32:39]
three for pricing into the next year's budgets, but that
[32:42]
was. After public consultation, right. Sorry, Mr.
[32:52]
Mayor, you, uh, you broke up on our end here.
[32:56]
Oh, sorry. Yeah. So that was budgeted. That was already
[32:58]
approved in this year's budget to move forward with the
[33:00]
field testing. So as long as that's going to happen
[33:03]
this year and that's still a project that cause that
[33:06]
was approved by Council. Yes. That's still going to proceed.
[33:09]
Okay. And then we're going to price out the additional
[33:12]
three for five grants opportunities next year's budget and so
[33:15]
on. That's correct. Yes. Okay. One of my main priorities
[33:19]
is a splash pad for Cannington and Sunderland to be
[33:22]
honest. Um, how, I see we're putting washrooms and moving
[33:27]
forward with washrooms and starting the design using beavertons. And
[33:30]
I like that idea. How can we include pipe pricing
[33:34]
and all the infrastructure for the splash pad. To the
[33:38]
motion. We would have to look at, um, where the
[33:44]
water connections are best to come from. In order for
[33:48]
us to make some determinations as to where that would
[33:52]
depricing would be. Okay. I'd really like, well, I'm going
[33:56]
to recommend that we do add that to this. Um,
[33:59]
I know we don't have water right now, but this
[34:01]
is when we start planting for it now for these
[34:03]
projects, right? And I think a splash pad is something
[34:06]
the residents would welcome with open arm. So, um, I
[34:09]
would like to add to the motion just to price
[34:12]
out the splash pad infrastructure as part of this. Mover.
[34:18]
Councillor Canada. Yeah. Definitely support that. And thank you for
[34:21]
bringing that forward, Mayor job. I've also seen that as
[34:25]
a huge priority, but, you know, we've been told again
[34:28]
and again, no water. It's going to be like so
[34:31]
far down the list, but it would be good to,
[34:34]
yeah, just investigate it, be kind of prepared since we
[34:36]
are looking at it for the washers as well. So
[34:39]
when the time is right, we can jump in there
[34:42]
and get some cool down, uh, activities going on. Are
[34:49]
you, um, finish Mayor job. Do you have any more
[34:52]
questions or comments? No, I just like what Angela said
[34:55]
there. This is of course we're doing the environmental assessment
[34:58]
now. What water and sewage capacity is going to come.
[35:01]
And I'd hate for that to come in five years
[35:03]
time and we haven't done any crap work for that.
[35:05]
So as long as it's on the list of four,
[35:07]
then I'm happy. So I'm going to thank you, Chair.
[35:09]
I agree splash pads are, are great for families. Does
[35:13]
anyone else from Council have a comment or a question
[35:16]
regarding the cloud park report. I don't see everybody's
[35:26]
picture on the screen now. So if you don't have
[35:29]
your, if you have your hand up, please contact me
[35:32]
verbally. Can the mover in second or just please confirm
[35:39]
that the wording in the resolution that shared on the
[35:41]
screen is correct? I'll just get my two cents, Mary
[35:47]
Lee. So I don't think Splash Pratt infrastructure. Which is
[35:52]
like getting the pipes and whatnot there. I don't think
[35:53]
we'd be the, to the point of pricing a full
[35:56]
splash pad at this point just to get everything ready
[35:58]
to go. And this is a number of years down
[36:00]
the road. So just splash bad infrastructure, but not actually
[36:03]
the splash pad. Yeah. I'm good with that.
[36:16]
Okay. I think it's time to call the question. All
[36:19]
those in favor of doing this fantastic park. And that
[36:24]
looks unanimous. Thank you very much. Our second report is
[36:27]
regarding the Beavert and Harbour Washington. It's 10. 3. 2.
[36:32]
Do we have a mover. Councillor Frank and a seconder.
[36:40]
Councillor, sorry, Mayor Job. Don't want to demote you. Would
[36:45]
you like to speak to it Councillor Frank. Yeah. Thank
[36:48]
you through you, Madam Chair. Just, uh, looked at the
[36:52]
report. I didn't just look at it, but I'm just
[36:54]
thinking that it's too bad that it did come up,
[36:57]
uh, over budget. But, uh, maybe the treasure could tell
[37:02]
me, just remind me how much is in that parked
[37:05]
reserve. Through the chair at the end of 2025, we
[37:12]
roughly had about 270, 000 dollars in the parks reserve.
[37:19]
So I was going to cut into a quite significantly.
[37:24]
About an easy get done too. So, uh, once we,
[37:28]
we put it's awarded the timeline for construction. Through the
[37:36]
two frank, the tender included construction being completed prior to
[37:43]
December. So I believe it was mid - November. So
[37:45]
we're not paying for winter heat. Okay. Thank you. I
[37:54]
just, um. It's not, we usually open during a winter,
[37:58]
if I can recall. Is that correct? That is correct.
[38:03]
The current building is not heated and not designed for
[38:08]
winter heat. Uh, the new building, it was requested by
[38:11]
Council that these be made for full season or year
[38:15]
round. Therefore, there is included heating and heat tracing for
[38:20]
piping and such. Okay. Thank you. Uh, that's all I
[38:24]
have, Madam Chair. Thank you, Councillor Frank. To the secondary
[38:29]
job. Thank you, Chair. I just want to point out
[38:33]
what our Director of Finance just noted that our parks
[38:36]
reserve has very little amount in that. So Council needs
[38:39]
to be aware that is an underfunded reserve. And I
[38:42]
can't stress that enough. And Trino will tell us the
[38:44]
same thing. So we need to get that reserve pumped
[38:47]
up. And I just wanted to throw that out there
[38:49]
again. Thank you. Good point. Uh, Councillor Canavan. Thanks Councillor
[38:56]
Campbell. Um, yeah, that's exactly my concern. Uh, we'd be
[39:01]
using over half of this reserve. And we just looked
[39:03]
at a beautiful park plan that, you know, any, anything,
[39:08]
this restricts so many other things. And I think there's
[39:10]
even something else coming up on the agenda asking for,
[39:13]
you know, additional money, um, is there, is there any
[39:17]
other, uh, reserve? This could be coming from. I guess
[39:24]
a question for Trina? No, there isn't. Then I would
[39:32]
say also like Mayor Jub, I think we need to,
[39:37]
obviously this project needs to be complete. You know, we
[39:39]
already deemed it's very important. Um, we want to see
[39:42]
something similar in Cannington, but, uh, I think we do
[39:45]
have to then make a concerted effort to put, uh,
[39:51]
replace a lot of those funds in the park reserve
[39:53]
and get building that up again. That's kind of got
[39:56]
to be a priority for the next council, uh, during
[39:59]
budget. Can make a note somewhere. Mayor job, you have
[40:07]
your hand up. Yeah. I just want to do, I
[40:09]
know I talked about this in budget as well, but,
[40:12]
uh, I know we're replacing a bathroom, but it is
[40:14]
a much more elaborate bathroom. I'm wondering if we can
[40:17]
use maybe 10 or 20 percent from our DC reserve.
[40:24]
It was not specifically mentioned in the DC by -
[40:29]
law unless it's part of the sort of placeholder that
[40:33]
we had. There was a placeholder there on, I can't
[40:37]
remember what the wording was specifically. I'd have to check,
[40:41]
to be honest. Um, and I will say that we
[40:43]
are not collecting much in DCs lately. Um, there's not
[40:48]
a significant amount of, um, parks DC's available either. Okay.
[40:54]
So just to Councillor Canavan's point, as we move into
[40:57]
the MacLeod Park in the coming years, hopefully we get
[41:00]
building happening. All the good stuff. But, uh, the, the
[41:03]
DCs at that time could be used for a lot
[41:06]
of the McLeod Park plan if it's a new initiative.
[41:09]
Is that correct? If I could, it has to be
[41:12]
a growth related project. Like a splash pad. Both related
[41:17]
project. Okay. Then we might be able to make the
[41:20]
argument, but if it's not growth related, I can't use
[41:23]
the DCs. Okay. But a new initiative such as a
[41:28]
splash pad would be eligible. Again, it's all depends if
[41:34]
there's growth in the municipality. I can't say for sure.
[41:39]
Um, if there'd be growth to warrant the splash pad
[41:42]
and we collect the money, then I might be able
[41:44]
to use it. If not, then we can't. Yeah. Okay.
[41:50]
Just a two old moving forward. We'd obviously, we'll try
[41:52]
to utilise DCs as much as we can moving forward,
[41:55]
but we also know we need to get building going
[41:56]
again. So that's all. Thank you. Thank you. Uh, Councillor
[42:01]
Canavan, you still have your hand up. Yeah. I just
[42:05]
wanted to add to that because, um, it was the
[42:07]
last Council meeting. I was thinking of where we were
[42:10]
talking about the dissatisfaction of some of the components of
[42:14]
the King Street Park. You know, and we would look
[42:19]
to Park's budget at that as well. So I'm just
[42:22]
getting concerned that there's on this unexpected money going, you
[42:26]
know, to places when we've also got to keep in
[42:29]
our mind that there's these new initiatives that have been
[42:33]
on not so even new. It's been on the map
[42:35]
for 12 plus years. MacLeod Park Plan. So I just,
[42:38]
uh. Just want to make sure that the money's being
[42:41]
spread through at the township. Thank you. Any other questions
[42:47]
or comments from Councilmembers. I don't see any hands. So
[42:54]
maybe we'll call the question. All those in favor. And
[42:59]
that's Carrie. Thank you very much. I believe that concludes
[43:02]
Park's Reck and Facilities unless anyone has another issue they
[43:05]
like to bring up. If not, back to you Mayor
[43:10]
job. Thank you, Chair Campbell. Next up is 10 -
[43:14]
4, which is tourism at Dev and Community Committee, which
[43:16]
is carried by Councillor Canavan. Go ahead, Angela. Thanks, manage
[43:20]
up. There are no reports for this committee at this
[43:23]
time. Are there any questions from Council members for staff.
[43:29]
Seeing none, I'll pass back to you. Thank you, Councillor
[43:33]
Canavan. 10 - 5 is next, which is Protection Services,
[43:36]
and that's chaired by Councillor Frank. Go ahead. Peter. Thank
[43:38]
you, Mr. Mayor. We have three reports. First report is
[43:43]
10. 5. 1. Report a Fire Department personnel. I need
[43:47]
a mover and seconder. And ends the can.
[43:58]
Any questions or concerns. Yeah, just to the Chief Chair,
[44:04]
um, I haven't seen a report like this before. So
[44:06]
what's the rationale? I'm, I'm happy with it. Just watch
[44:09]
so Ashton Ellen. Is this something we'll see yearly? And
[44:12]
what's our maximum number? Is it 90 Firefighters right now.
[44:16]
Through the chair to the mayor. Yeah, I just thought
[44:18]
it was a good idea. Yeah, it hasn't been done
[44:20]
in quite some time. Uh, we did make up some
[44:23]
plaques and hang them in the fire hall to display
[44:26]
who firefighters are. But I thought it was a good
[44:28]
idea to put it out there just to, cause we
[44:31]
have had some change over. Um, and the maximum across
[44:34]
the board is 90 firefighters. So we're, uh, I try
[44:39]
to maintain the best I can, 30 at each station.
[44:42]
We are low at 8, 1 and 82, but we're
[44:44]
pretty good at A3. So I just thought it was
[44:47]
idea to put that out. Okay. And the turnover in
[44:51]
the volunteer firefighter world is just the name of the
[44:53]
game. Right. So, um, when is the next recruitment class
[44:58]
and at higher plant. We get a lot of questions
[45:01]
on that. That's all. Yeah. Through the chair to the
[45:04]
mayor, the next plan is, uh, we'll probably start advertising
[45:07]
in around late October. And the interviews and come up
[45:11]
with a list and start the training in around January,
[45:15]
February. Okay. Perfect. Thanks for this. I like the report.
[45:19]
That's great. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Uh, two secondary, Angela.
[45:24]
Go ahead. Thank you. Um, yeah, just as I mentioned
[45:28]
in the report, uh, we certainly are grateful and proud
[45:31]
of our, uh, Firefight of personnel and thank them for
[45:35]
their Detication and skill set and effort. Thanks. Thank you.
[45:41]
Next, uh, I think I got, uh, Castle Campbell. Oh,
[45:47]
thank you chair Frank. I'd just like to thank, um,
[45:51]
Chief Harrison for the report. It was interesting to look
[45:53]
through the names. I recognise quite a few. I just
[45:56]
think that Brock is very fortunate because considering we're small
[46:00]
municipality. So many people step up to serve as volunteer
[46:04]
firefighters. So thanks to all. Thank you. Uh, Cancer Chambers.
[46:11]
Go ahead region Council Pentagon. You hand up. Thank you.
[46:15]
Yes. Thank you very much. And through you. Um, I
[46:18]
would just like to echo that. It was really wonderful
[46:19]
to see the names of these familiar residents in Brocktown
[46:23]
Chip. And we are incredibly grateful for how highly trained
[46:28]
they are and their responsiveness. And it was great to
[46:30]
see those reports. So thank you so much. Thank you.
[46:34]
Anybody else for questions. No, um, I just want to
[46:38]
echo that, uh, what's Misa already. I think, uh, Chief,
[46:42]
we usually get a pretty good response to call outs
[46:45]
for recruits. Is that correct? Yes. Through the chair. Yes.
[46:51]
We do get quite a few applicants apply. And we
[46:54]
have some right now actually on file that we'll look
[46:57]
at, uh, yeah, we usually do get a lot of
[47:00]
applicants. Yeah. Cause you look around and I still have
[47:04]
a lot of friends in an Ontario and all this.
[47:06]
You look at the Recruit classes. They might even have
[47:08]
just four or five, but we seem to have pretty
[47:11]
good response to our, uh, ads. So see, no other
[47:19]
questions. They'll call the question. On camera. Oh, I can't.
[47:25]
No, sorry. Sorry. I couldn't see your hand with that,
[47:28]
with your background. I wasn't talking either. Uh, again, I
[47:33]
just wanted to share the same thing. I really appreciate
[47:36]
everyone's work and through you, Mr. Chair and thank you,
[47:40]
uh, to Fire Chief Harrison as well. Uh, it's really
[47:43]
great to see that was a really interesting report. So
[47:45]
thank you. Councillor Hodson. Okay. Uh, now I'll call the
[47:51]
question. All in favor of report. That passes. Let's go
[47:56]
to 10. 5. 2. And that is the By -
[48:03]
Law Animal Service Division. I need a mover. Council Canville.
[48:10]
And secondary. Councillor Hodgson. To the mover. Any question? No,
[48:18]
I'm just, uh, always very interested to see the activity
[48:21]
in animals services and thank everybody for all they do.
[48:26]
Thank you. And to the seconder. Thank you. And through
[48:31]
your, uh, same. I really, this is one of my
[48:33]
favourite reports to be honest to see what's going on
[48:36]
and what's coming through to us. So, uh, thank you,
[48:39]
uh, Sarah for her work and her team's work. And
[48:44]
chambers. Joseph Pineco? Yes. Thank you very much. And through
[48:48]
you, um, to Sarah. I noticed that, um, the number
[48:52]
of injured wildlife reports. Significantly from 24 and 25. And
[48:58]
it's really great to see this. I just wondered if
[49:00]
you had any comments on that. It is, it is
[49:04]
absolutely great to see. Um, that it has gone down.
[49:08]
Um, we haven't had a lot of the expected bird
[49:11]
flus and things like that happen, which was a concern.
[49:14]
So we are happy about that. Um, it's just one
[49:17]
of those things that fluctuates year to year, depending on
[49:20]
certain diseases that might be found in the environment. But
[49:23]
on the whole, yes, we're doing well with wildlife services
[49:26]
at the moment. A few extra bears this year, but
[49:29]
other than that, it's been okay. Thanks very much for
[49:32]
that. Mary Chub. Thank you, Chair. I just heard Sarah
[49:39]
say the word flu and things are looking good. So
[49:41]
would this be a good time to bring an amendment
[49:43]
forward or a motion forward to allow back - aired
[49:46]
chickens and all our urban areas now. That's a joke,
[49:52]
Sarah. I know. I was going to say through the
[49:54]
chair to the mayor. Probably not the greatest time. It
[49:59]
is in my Almerita though. We'll leave that for now.
[50:02]
Thank you. Thank you Mr. Mayor. That's a pretty good
[50:05]
joke there. Um, so a new report, you mentioned, sir.
[50:10]
You mentioned that, um, vehicles and all that, uh, we
[50:15]
spent some money, I believe last budget to get your
[50:18]
van fixed up. Is that failing again? Uh, yes. Both
[50:22]
of them are having some failures due to age, both
[50:25]
the by - law truck and the animal services van,
[50:29]
unlike most of the vehicles within the municipality. Ours actually
[50:33]
run 365 days a year in our staff for on,
[50:36]
of course, in the summer till midnights. And we have
[50:38]
on call. So those vehicles are more so operating, consistently.
[50:43]
And they're both reaching their seventh and eighth year. So,
[50:46]
um, it's just that type of impact. So we're looking
[50:48]
at, um, again, one of the vehicles had to go
[50:51]
in with for a significant amount of repair. It's just
[50:56]
use. It's expected. We get the oil changes every month
[51:02]
or very great on the maintenance of them. But it's
[51:04]
just wear and tear for their aging. So I know
[51:08]
that we're looking at some, um, stuff in the future
[51:12]
to be able to replace at least one or two
[51:14]
of them. Um, to get something more consistent, you know,
[51:17]
through our reserves and other things, um, in, uh, future
[51:21]
budget years. As per our replacement, um, for vehicles that
[51:25]
the Council has a policy on. And I'm sure, like
[51:29]
usual, we'll get the report that what needs to be
[51:31]
fixed and et cetera, et cetera. So in the future,
[51:35]
that's something they've got to think about down the line
[51:38]
for the mayor's budget. Um, so any other questions to
[51:43]
staff. Seeing none, I'll call the question, all of favor.
[51:50]
That's passes. So the last report is 10. 5. 3.
[51:56]
And if they're department stats, I need to move in
[52:01]
a second here. Uh, Councillor Hudson and Marichub.
[52:11]
To mover. Through you. Uh, no questions for me again,
[52:18]
as I've already said, I really like these reports. I
[52:21]
think it's great to see what's going on in the
[52:22]
township. And to see all the hard work that our
[52:26]
staff we're doing. Orange. Thank you to the seconder. All
[52:33]
good here. Thank you. Thank you. Uh, Chambers. Good, thank
[52:38]
you. I'm all good. Okay. Good. Great report. No questions.
[52:43]
I'll call the question. All in favor. And not pass
[52:48]
back to you, Mr. Bear. Thank you very much, Councillor
[52:53]
Frank. Next up we have 10. 6, which is Development
[52:55]
Services. Uh, I will share that if everyone's okay with
[52:58]
that with the Councillor Double dot here. Okay. And there's
[53:02]
nothing on the agenda, but any questions to staff. See,
[53:08]
not a liner in the chamber. I will now go
[53:10]
on to 10. 7, which is General Government Committee, which
[53:13]
is chaired by Councillor Hodgson. Ron, go ahead when you're
[53:15]
ready. Excuse me, Mr. Mayor. I had a question. Couldn't
[53:19]
get my hand up quick enough. Go ahead. Go ahead.
[53:24]
Sorry about that. Sorry. Okay. Um, to Director of Not
[53:28]
Public Words Director Parks, I just noticed walking around that,
[53:33]
um, the Kingston, when the King Street did. Log with
[53:36]
Park Track as being repaired from the, because it runoff
[53:40]
in the storm, all the water we had. The material
[53:43]
you being used, where are we getting that? It's the
[53:45]
same as a track. It doesn't look like it. Through
[53:50]
the chair to Councillor Frank. I'm not sure what was
[53:53]
done. I'll have to, uh, check with staff to see
[53:56]
what repairs. If there was anything done there, it would
[53:59]
have been, uh, dragging of material. It may just be
[54:02]
a different colour due to it. It's moisture content. Uh,
[54:06]
checking. I will respond to via email. Thank you. Uh,
[54:12]
uh, thing about the track. It's getting a lot of
[54:15]
growth in the middle of the track. From CC leans,
[54:20]
I try to pull one out and look at a
[54:21]
tree. I wonder if something can be done about getting,
[54:25]
uh, just trimming it or doing something to get declared
[54:28]
right in the middle of the track. There's getting some
[54:30]
stuff growth in there and really shouldn't be. So I
[54:34]
don't know what can be done. Again, I haven't been
[54:37]
by the track recently. I will, uh, allow staff to
[54:40]
take a look at it and report back to me.
[54:43]
Okay. Thank you. That's all I have, Mr. Mayor. Thank
[54:45]
you. Uh, go ahead, Run. Almost forgot it was me
[54:53]
again. The first report we have is 2026 GG 012
[55:01]
on Closed Meeting Investigator Program from our Deputy Clerk. Can
[55:05]
I get a motion. In a seconder. I'll move it.
[55:09]
Count Canaven and seconded by, uh, Regional Councillor Pettingale to
[55:15]
the mover. I had no questions or comments. It's straightforward.
[55:19]
Thank you. Till the seconder. Yeah. Thank you. Likewise, no
[55:23]
questions or comments. Good housekeeping. Anyone else. Not seeing any
[55:30]
alcohol the question. All those in favor. Past. I have
[55:38]
a loaded docket today. Do, sorry. Just so I'm Claire.
[55:43]
Do we need to there's a. Bylaw. Marilyn. Do we
[55:47]
need to. That's just fine as it is. That's Marley
[55:53]
there by Laws section as well. Okay. So we don't
[55:58]
need that's all included. Thank. You. Okay. Then we'll go
[56:06]
on to 2026 GG 013 from our acting CAO and
[56:11]
the clerk. I kind of get a motion and a
[56:14]
seconder. It's Vestergar Drainage petition. I'm happy to move this.
[56:21]
Motion by regional Councillor Peningale seconded by Councillor Canaven to
[56:27]
the motion. Thank you. Um, I'm happy to go with
[56:33]
the recommended motion. And I just had a little question.
[56:40]
It's the costs are added to the tax role and
[56:42]
recovered over a prescribed period. I just wondered if we
[56:45]
could get a little clarification from Clerk's Department on what
[56:49]
that looks like. To chair to Regional Councillor Ben Gill.
[56:56]
So the, um, this is an application for a new
[57:01]
municipal drain and similar to our other municipal drains that
[57:05]
we already have in place when the engineers report is
[57:11]
concluded. It will identify the number of properties that are
[57:14]
contributing to this drain. And, uh, each property will be
[57:19]
assessed based on, uh, overall size and contribution to the
[57:23]
drain. And it'll be a percentage of the total cost
[57:27]
that we'll be added to the tax roll. And, and,
[57:31]
and sorry, just to also advise, pardon me, any future
[57:38]
maintenance to a municipal drain. Uh, over the years, the
[57:42]
municipality will put those costs aside. And then, uh, allocate
[57:49]
those costs to the drains at an appropriate time period.
[57:56]
Thank you very much. Yes. So I do agree again
[58:00]
with, um. With the recommendation that the petition for drainage
[58:04]
signed by Chris Festergaard submitted under the Authority of Section
[58:08]
4 of the Drainage, be accepted. Thank you. Thank you.
[58:12]
And to the secondary. Councillor Canaven. Uh, no comment. Thank
[58:17]
you. Uh, Mayor Trub. Thank you, Chair. Um, just a
[58:22]
couple of questions. I want to actually just clarify. I
[58:25]
have been through one of these, uh, a few of
[58:27]
us here have, I think about eight years ago with
[58:28]
the eight strain. Just to staff. And again, this is
[58:32]
provincial legislation that we're the lucky ones that have to
[58:34]
administer it. Um, if anybody asked, we don't just want
[58:39]
to do these things because they do tend to, they're
[58:41]
a little bit controversial because as the acting CAO said,
[58:45]
people will be legislated to, they have to pay for
[58:48]
their portion. Um, on that, if the township could be
[58:51]
in the engineer report as well, that we, we could
[58:54]
be forced to put some work in our ditch. So
[58:56]
there could be a cost of the township. Is that
[58:59]
fair. Through the chair to, Mayor Judd, that is correct.
[59:04]
If there's lands of the township owns, including any roadways
[59:09]
that are contributing to the drain or need to improve
[59:13]
the drain, then we will be part of that assessment.
[59:17]
Okay. And last question is, uh, if Mr. Vestergaard, if,
[59:21]
if they pull out of this and decide, I don't
[59:24]
want to go any further is, are they responsible for
[59:27]
all the incurred costs up to them? Through you, uh,
[59:33]
chair to Mayor Jub. You had previously, uh, noted the
[59:39]
Yates Drain. That was your last exercise. Um, that, that
[59:44]
applicant did withdraw. And all the costs were absorbed by
[59:47]
them. So yeah, similarly, uh, in this particular, um, exercise,
[59:53]
uh, as you had rightfully stated, it does, uh, does
[59:57]
become potentially contentious with neighbours. Uh, the engineer's report will
[1:00:03]
completely deal with that. And then the, the applicant at
[1:00:07]
any point in time prior to the adoption of the
[1:00:11]
official municipal drain chem withdrawal their application and be responsible
[1:00:16]
for all costs, including the engineer's costs. Okay. And the
[1:00:22]
public tends to come to Council on these issues, especially
[1:00:24]
when they hear that they might have to pay a
[1:00:26]
hundred thousand dollars. I'm just throwing a number out there.
[1:00:29]
But our response is that this is provincial legislation under
[1:00:32]
the drainact Act that we have no choice but to
[1:00:35]
administer. Is that do I have that right? Again, through
[1:00:38]
your chair to Mayor Judd, um, I wouldn't throw out
[1:00:40]
a hundred thousand dollars. That tends to scare people a
[1:00:43]
lot. Yeah. I just a number. Yeah. I would wait
[1:00:45]
to the engineer's report to see what the numbers are.
[1:00:49]
But yes, it, uh, it is provincially legislated. We're just
[1:00:54]
the conduit for the applicant to the other, other, um,
[1:00:58]
attributing property owners that are contributing to the drain. And
[1:01:04]
we'll, we'll appropriate the costs associated through the report. Okay.
[1:01:09]
Just that helps council when they do get calls. Cause
[1:01:12]
we will get calls. And I didn't mean to throw
[1:01:14]
the hundred thousand dollar number out there, but the eighth
[1:01:16]
grain was more than a hundred thousand for some neighbouring.
[1:01:18]
So they, these things tend to get very expensive at
[1:01:21]
all. I'm trying to say. So okay. That's all. If
[1:01:23]
I may, um, through your chair, just add another point
[1:01:28]
of interest to council in all likelihood, the engineer's report,
[1:01:34]
um, and public meetings will not come to council until
[1:01:37]
probably the 2027 schedule. That's all for me, Chair. Excellent.
[1:01:46]
Thank you very much. Great questions, Majorab as well. Thank
[1:01:48]
you. Could I ask any questions. Yep. Thank you. Uh,
[1:01:53]
Regional Council Tanga. Thank you. Um, and I hear what
[1:01:56]
Mayor Jeb says and I remember the Yates Dream, but
[1:01:59]
just to the clerk, um, with this Resident asking for
[1:02:04]
the Drain to be looked after in this way. Could
[1:02:06]
you just maybe go over, if it didn't go this
[1:02:09]
way, alternatives. You know, how else this could be resolved.
[1:02:18]
For your chair to Regional Council Baringill. The alternatives would
[1:02:22]
be that, uh, the property owner and the property owners
[1:02:25]
would deal with it independently whether that's a towel drain
[1:02:29]
on their existing property. Or trying to deal with the
[1:02:33]
neighbours on, uh, private matter. Thank you. And I can
[1:02:40]
only assume it's coming to us as this, uh, recommendation
[1:02:43]
for whatever reason had to bring it here. So thank
[1:02:47]
you. Thank you. Renato, do you have another question or
[1:02:53]
set them. Mr. Trent. Perfect. Uh, anyone else. I will
[1:02:59]
call the question all those in favor. Past. Bear with
[1:03:06]
me for one second. Uh, 2026 GG 014 2027 Council
[1:03:14]
Meeting Schedule. Can I get motioned or in a seconder.
[1:03:22]
Mag travel. Councillor Frank. To the mover. Nothing
[1:03:32]
to the secondary. Nothing any questions. Maybe straightforward, I think.
[1:03:39]
Excellent. I'll call the question. All those in favor. Past.
[1:03:46]
I think. That concludes me. Oh no. The rail storage
[1:03:52]
is minus well. Right. Yeah. Uh, sorry, Garth, thank you,
[1:03:57]
girl. I'm not used to having so many twenty six
[1:04:01]
GG 015. So request from the Beaverton Lions regarding rail
[1:04:06]
container storage, uh, beside the current line shed in Bieverton.
[1:04:11]
Can I get a mover in a seconder. Uh, Councillor
[1:04:14]
Frank Councillor Canaven to the mover. I can sit another
[1:04:21]
reason why we should have that report there would take,
[1:04:26]
they would take that, it would look, you probably wouldn't
[1:04:28]
even see it, but they, they're willing to put a
[1:04:30]
fence around it and all this and make a look
[1:04:33]
half decent. And that's, you know, that's reality of the
[1:04:36]
times now. A lot of people use containers for storage
[1:04:39]
drive around to miss pally. You'll see a lot of
[1:04:41]
containers. So I have no issue with, uh, doing that,
[1:04:46]
having it, uh, there. And I'm pretty sure they will
[1:04:50]
make a look pretty good. Thank you. Just a point
[1:04:54]
of order. Yeah. Right now the motion is just do
[1:04:58]
nothing. It's receive. Okay. And Councillor Canavan. Read the
[1:05:07]
second. Am I losing my mind. I am the secondary.
[1:05:11]
And I was going to add that we actually approve
[1:05:14]
that request rather than just receive it. And simply, yeah,
[1:05:22]
for the fact that, well, all of our lions, you
[1:05:24]
know, do such a tremendous amount of work to improve
[1:05:27]
our communities and, you know, I'm sure they will make
[1:05:30]
it not look, um, it will blend in. I'm not
[1:05:35]
concerned about the look. We had to do it for
[1:05:36]
the haunted trail. And if not for that, we would
[1:05:39]
no longer be running. So we certainly don't want to,
[1:05:42]
um, you know, they have the challenges if we can
[1:05:45]
address them, we do. So I'm in support, uh, I'd
[1:05:48]
like to recommend that we add to approve the request.
[1:05:55]
You support that as well. As a mover, I just
[1:05:57]
realised too on my screen, I had the old, the
[1:06:00]
old, uh, um, motion up there. See, I'd be happy
[1:06:04]
to, uh, Prethering that if possible. And I see the.
[1:06:09]
Awesome. Air job. Yeah. I just, I want to clarify
[1:06:14]
because the lot to this. So, um. Okay. So we're,
[1:06:18]
what you're putting in the motion is we're approving the
[1:06:20]
40 foot container. Temporarily or is there a timeline or
[1:06:26]
is it. Forever. And there's also talking to Mr. Amanda.
[1:06:32]
He's probably going to say what I'm going to say.
[1:06:34]
We also talked to them about having two 20 foot
[1:06:37]
containers, which could avoid a lot of the building permit
[1:06:39]
stuff and all that. So I'll, I'll pause for a
[1:06:42]
minute if we want to go to fern. Uh, Mr.
[1:06:45]
Amanda, do you want to share. Thank you through chair
[1:06:49]
to Council. Um, so I felt it necessary to put
[1:06:54]
together a short memorandum so that Council considers the different
[1:07:02]
requirements and actions with regards to this request by the
[1:07:06]
lions. And it's, it's not that staff or not supportive
[1:07:09]
of it. Obviously we want to support our community groups.
[1:07:13]
I want Council to be fully aware of what they're
[1:07:16]
approving. Um, the 40 foot container has previously requested by
[1:07:20]
the Lions, um, I have been advised by our billing
[1:07:25]
office that it does require a building permits. The lines
[1:07:29]
have been made aware of that. They indicated that they're
[1:07:34]
more than happy to proceed through that process and obtaining
[1:07:39]
a building permit. There's a cost with that, of course.
[1:07:43]
Um, the alternative would be two 20 footers. Uh, again,
[1:07:47]
they have to meet setback from the existing building. The
[1:07:53]
one particular item I want counseled to be considerate of
[1:07:57]
is that this building, um, unlike the haunted trail, uh,
[1:08:03]
location of the rail containers, it is sort of front
[1:08:06]
and centre in the park. And, um, you know, rail
[1:08:12]
containers, yes, they can be painted. They can be cladded
[1:08:15]
to make it look like a building. However, Council should
[1:08:19]
keep in mind that they are just a temporary structure
[1:08:23]
realistically and Council, given that this is your park and
[1:08:28]
one of your main locations at the harbour should have
[1:08:31]
consideration of what this park. Um, looks like and is
[1:08:37]
used like for all users at that park for longer
[1:08:41]
term. And that's why we're, we're wondering if, yes, a
[1:08:46]
fence, um, cladding or cladding on the building can, you
[1:08:52]
know, sort of mask it for the time period. But
[1:08:55]
as Council wanting it to be there for a long
[1:08:58]
period of time or is it, are you going to
[1:09:00]
put a time period on it and have, have the
[1:09:03]
user groups enter into discussions with each other. And I'm,
[1:09:08]
I'm calling on the agricultural society, the lions, um, maybe
[1:09:14]
some other users down there. Enter into discussions with the
[1:09:19]
municipality on looking at expanding some of those existing buildings
[1:09:24]
that are there that are being used for storage. And
[1:09:28]
if that makes a more logical sense for your main
[1:09:33]
park at the harbour on how it looks in the
[1:09:36]
future. And, and if, if council is asking the lions
[1:09:42]
to go ahead with the container, then you want it
[1:09:47]
fenced as opposed to cladded. Than the fence height in
[1:09:52]
order to be above the container will be above our,
[1:09:56]
our fence by - law, which we'll also need a
[1:09:59]
fence variance that has to be part of the resolution.
[1:10:03]
Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Filana. Yeah. Thanks. That does
[1:10:09]
help clarify my understanding as well. I did talk to
[1:10:13]
the immediate past president last weekend. This is definitely temporary
[1:10:17]
for the club as a interim solution, but I do
[1:10:20]
agree. I'm on the fair board and we're ready to
[1:10:23]
talk about buildings as well and probably invest into one
[1:10:26]
building down there and maybe not all the other. So
[1:10:29]
I think that's a longer term solution that we do
[1:10:31]
need to talk about. Um, if we approve, I would
[1:10:34]
like to see a proving or giving the Lions the
[1:10:36]
option of a 40 or 220s as part of the
[1:10:38]
motion. Now the 220s, do they still need to go
[1:10:41]
through the whole engineer and all the red tape? Or
[1:10:44]
is that just for the 40 footer. Through chair to
[1:10:53]
Mayor Jubb, I'm not sure. Robin is on the call,
[1:10:56]
but I'm not sure that she can answer a building
[1:10:59]
code question. Um, I think that, uh, engineer part is
[1:11:03]
with respect to changing the structure of the building itself.
[1:11:09]
Robin's on screen. Thank you. Yeah. I would have to,
[1:11:13]
through the chair, I'd have to confirm with the chief
[1:11:15]
building official. Okay. That's fair. Um, I would just like
[1:11:18]
to move her in second or to add, give the
[1:11:20]
options of two 20s or 140. And I also want
[1:11:23]
to know how we can move forward with the fence
[1:11:26]
offence is a definite less than I did talk to
[1:11:28]
the club about that. How can we move forward with
[1:11:30]
approving the fence now to avoid more red tape more
[1:11:33]
time? Can this be done by Council today. Through you
[1:11:40]
chair to Mayor Jub, the fence, if that's Council's preference,
[1:11:44]
uh, part of the resolution should include a fence variance
[1:11:49]
approval for the height of the fence around the containers.
[1:11:54]
Container or container. Okay. So that's what I would recommend
[1:11:57]
to the mover in secondary. Everything there, two 20s or
[1:12:00]
a 40 and also approve the fence variance. So we're
[1:12:03]
not going to see this he can basically is what
[1:12:05]
it is. And, and for Council's awareness, there is a
[1:12:08]
cost to the fence variance as well. Okay. I just
[1:12:15]
need clarification on that. Sorry. So many times we get
[1:12:18]
to applications. Hey, I want to build a six foot
[1:12:20]
fence in my front yard. If we approve it, I
[1:12:22]
don't think they pay anything, do they? Through you, Chair,
[1:12:26]
they do. They prepare that fence variance prior to coming
[1:12:30]
to Council. So Council proving the height of this, um,
[1:12:36]
this fence that is being proposed. You will have to,
[1:12:40]
uh, amend, or you will have to provide offence variants
[1:12:43]
and there will be a cost to that. Okay. But
[1:12:46]
we can basically pre - approve it today. So there's
[1:12:48]
no more red tape. It's just the Lions would have
[1:12:50]
to pay and they can move because we don't have
[1:12:51]
a meeting to go through this. Right. So that is
[1:12:53]
correct. Okay. I hope the clerk's team have all that
[1:12:59]
written down there on the motion. That was going to
[1:13:02]
be my question. Uh, thank you, Mercha. Uh, Councillor Frank.
[1:13:08]
Yes, thank you to you. Um, that was interesting. I,
[1:13:11]
uh, I wasn't aware of what Fernando brought forward. But
[1:13:18]
I still don't think that the Lions would push back
[1:13:23]
too much on this. So I'm okay with that amendment
[1:13:26]
to the original motion. Thank you. And to our second
[1:13:33]
Councillor Can. Yeah, just to add, obviously this will be,
[1:13:39]
there'll be some communications between staff and the lions because,
[1:13:43]
you know, we don't know what they're storing. I'm assuming
[1:13:45]
it's something that they want close by to their shed
[1:13:49]
and thus the need for, see, can. Cause it's not
[1:13:51]
the best solution, but sometimes, um, it's the only solution.
[1:13:56]
So however, you know, I just think we'll come up
[1:13:59]
with a great agreement between the two of them giving,
[1:14:02]
um, consideration to the, to the look and feel of
[1:14:06]
the, uh, fairgrounds. Um, now, Firn, were you seeing there
[1:14:12]
was, I thought I read two about the Outback buildings
[1:14:16]
of the fairgrounds. Are they vacant like they're available for
[1:14:20]
you. Through your chair to Councillor Kemit, sorry. I'm not,
[1:14:26]
I'm not quite understanding the Outback building. So just for
[1:14:30]
Council's sake, I should have pulled up the site plan
[1:14:34]
for the fairgrounds. But there's a line shed that's existing.
[1:14:40]
Um, off to the left of the driveway where you
[1:14:42]
enter that, that rear portion of the fairgrounds. There's, uh,
[1:14:46]
what was label as the pet barn. Which was previously
[1:14:50]
owned by the Ag Society, but we've come to understand
[1:14:53]
that the lines have taken ownership of the pet barn.
[1:14:58]
Okay. That's what I was thinking. Nice to the pet
[1:15:01]
barn is the scout hall, which is owned by the,
[1:15:05]
uh, agricultural society. And I believe they, they understand that
[1:15:11]
they're using it for storage currently, but they are looking
[1:15:14]
at, um, longer term, maintenance to that building as it
[1:15:18]
needs some repairs as well. Okay. Thanks for the clarification.
[1:15:26]
Any other questions from Council. Councillor Panika? Thank you very
[1:15:33]
much. And through you. Um, I'm just very happy that
[1:15:38]
we're actioning this, um, report today. Um, so that the
[1:15:43]
lions can go ahead with their planning. And, um, I,
[1:15:47]
you know, I understand it is a temporary situation. And
[1:15:52]
I don't think a timeline, uh, needs to actually be
[1:15:56]
put on that because I'm sure, um, the close communication
[1:15:59]
in terms of, um, changing and improving the buildings that
[1:16:04]
they do have use of right now. So I'm just
[1:16:07]
glad to see because of everything they do for the
[1:16:10]
community that we're actioning this. Thank you. Thank you.
[1:16:20]
Uh, I guess we go back to chambers. And we
[1:16:25]
want to put the, sorry, uh, either firm or mayor
[1:16:33]
job. I'm just looking for the movie. There we go.
[1:16:37]
Mr. Lamanadia questions. Thank you. Jury just wanted to ensure
[1:16:41]
that, uh, merely had the resolution upon the screen so
[1:16:45]
that we can fully understand what council's voting on. Um,
[1:16:50]
one thing I think you merely for putting the fence
[1:16:54]
variance, one thing I have not, I don't see in
[1:16:57]
the resolution, but I did hear it in general discussion
[1:17:02]
is the timeline of this temporary structure. And, um, I
[1:17:08]
think, I think it should be part of this resolution.
[1:17:11]
Um, and I leave it up to Council to discuss
[1:17:13]
what that timeline is. If it's, uh, one to three
[1:17:17]
years, three to five years or greater than five, but
[1:17:21]
I think it's only fair to the lions as well
[1:17:25]
to, to have that understanding that Council's only approving this
[1:17:29]
on a temporary basis. And that, that we're inviting the
[1:17:35]
lines and the other users of that fair grounds to
[1:17:39]
sit down with the municipality to have discussions about their
[1:17:42]
buildings that they own. Um, and, and the future of
[1:17:47]
those buildings moving forward. Thank you. Thank you. Mayor Chab.
[1:17:56]
I would recommend that initial approved period be five years
[1:17:59]
and the Lions could come back to Council if they
[1:18:02]
need an extension on that. Thank you. Councillor Frank. Yeah.
[1:18:12]
Um, I tend to agree with that five years and
[1:18:15]
longer because I don't know how you can put a
[1:18:17]
timeline. Definite timeline on something like that. When they obviously
[1:18:22]
needed for storage. And to say, okay, uh, we only
[1:18:28]
have this for three years. Now we got to look
[1:18:31]
somewhere else, come back and all this. Um, I'm okay
[1:18:34]
with putting a temporary and they come back in five
[1:18:40]
years to see if they can, uh, either, because then
[1:18:45]
you got to take the fence down. You got to
[1:18:46]
do all kinds of work to it and all this.
[1:18:48]
So I agree with that. That's Steven a five years
[1:18:52]
and come back in five years and see where, um,
[1:18:55]
where they're at where they can expand and all that.
[1:18:58]
I just looked at the picture of that building itself.
[1:19:01]
I don't know where to expand that. The one storage
[1:19:03]
area they have now because it's pretty close to walking
[1:19:05]
track. And stuff like that. So I can't see putting
[1:19:09]
a definite stoppage timeline. So five years and then come
[1:19:13]
back and talk. I agree with that. Thank you. Thank
[1:19:19]
you. I'm good with that. Too. Okay. Perfect. Mad Treb?
[1:19:23]
Yeah. I just want to add to that, that if
[1:19:25]
a further extension is required, then it would come back
[1:19:27]
to Council at that time. Just so it's not a
[1:19:30]
five year. If the, who knows what's happening in five
[1:19:33]
years. Okay. I'll just wait for.
[1:19:45]
The strike to catch up.
[1:20:05]
Okay. That looks good to everybody. Oh. I will call
[1:20:12]
the question. All those in favor of the new Resolution.
[1:20:15]
Excellent. Past. That concludes all the reports. Uh, any questions
[1:20:22]
to township staff. Seeing none, I will pass it back
[1:20:28]
to you. Mr. Manja. Thank you Councillor Hodgson. That is
[1:20:33]
it for subcommittees. I believe. Yes. Uh, next up is
[1:20:37]
section 11, which is our correspondence. There's a number of
[1:20:39]
correspondence. So we'll start with 11. 1 looking for a
[1:20:42]
mover in a second or onto that. Councillor Canavan seconded
[1:20:49]
by Council Regional Councillor Beningal. Angela, anything is the mover.
[1:20:56]
Um, just for clarification, um, sorry. This is 11. 1,
[1:21:01]
correct? That's right. Yeah. Okay. Um, yeah, Broxy HC has
[1:21:07]
not been had any consultation on this to date just
[1:21:11]
so that Council's aware, uh, you know, we are actively
[1:21:15]
participating in, um, initiatives to increase mental health resources to
[1:21:20]
the North. Our recent funding is strictly allocated to implementation
[1:21:30]
plan. So it's not like we can just take on
[1:21:32]
requests for, um, other initiatives. But, um, glad to see
[1:21:37]
it will be coming to the CHC. And maybe there's
[1:21:39]
some way to figure out other ways to bring resources
[1:21:44]
here. But I'm not sure if that one specifically would
[1:21:47]
be something that Berkshire HC is able financially to take
[1:21:52]
on. Okay. Uh, to the seconder. Thank you very much.
[1:21:58]
And through you. I do support the recommendation that we
[1:22:02]
forward this to the Durham Region Police Services. I see
[1:22:05]
that some of the recommendations in this correspondence are beyond
[1:22:09]
the scope of the township. But generally to move this
[1:22:12]
forward, this idea of having the MCRT in Beaverton, just
[1:22:21]
generally moving it forward, I think it's a good idea
[1:22:22]
for us to forward this to the Durham Police. Thank
[1:22:27]
you. Yeah, for sure. There's a lot of this already
[1:22:29]
happening now. Of course, with our increased police presence, this
[1:22:32]
is all part of it, but this is getting worse
[1:22:34]
solidify it to get a little more pressure on there.
[1:22:37]
I would like to see that maybe this council endorsed
[1:22:39]
this after received, just that, uh, Brock Council endorse. Just
[1:22:46]
wondering if the mover in seconder would be okay with
[1:22:47]
that. I think just as far as the CHC detail,
[1:22:55]
um, is included. We can't speak for that part. Exactly.
[1:22:59]
Yeah. Yeah. We're, we're just sending it there though. Right.
[1:23:01]
The CHC will make their decision then. We're just referring
[1:23:04]
this to the CHC. And we're just supporting that basically
[1:23:07]
that we want to maximize regional deployment in North Durham.
[1:23:11]
Absolutely. That's all we're doing. Absolutely. I endorse that. Yeah.
[1:23:15]
There's no hog tie in any group here. We're just
[1:23:17]
referring it to those organisations, including the region. We're just
[1:23:20]
endorsing that yes, we would want to see maximizing the
[1:23:23]
regional deployment. That's all. Ok. Move her in secondary. We're
[1:23:32]
okay with that. I fully understand this EHC can't be.
[1:23:36]
I get it. Totally insane. Okay. Okay. Any other questions
[1:23:40]
comments, council. See, not all those in favor. That's carried.
[1:23:46]
Thank you. Okay. Next up is 11. 2, which is
[1:23:49]
Traffic Coming Measures again on side road 18a for Mr.
[1:23:53]
Collins. Um, before I, to make it easier before I
[1:23:59]
ask for a motion or mover and a seconder, we
[1:24:01]
do have bollards that we not using on Peace Street.
[1:24:05]
I would recommend a Council that we put in this
[1:24:07]
motion to use those bullards on this stretch once it's
[1:24:09]
redone this fall. Just throwing out there is a recommendation.
[1:24:14]
And I'll look for a mover. Councillor Canavan seconded by
[1:24:20]
Councillor Hodgson. Um, okay. So I just want also find
[1:24:25]
out how often the traffic common committee is meeting because
[1:24:29]
as we know, these last requests that just came to
[1:24:31]
Council are over a year old. So yeah, I don't
[1:24:34]
want to sit with this for a year. Yeah. That's
[1:24:36]
why I'm recommending. That's just to prove this now. And
[1:24:39]
then everything's off our plate for that committee. Oh, that
[1:24:43]
committee will disband for this year. Or just until further
[1:24:46]
requests come up. But right now this would be the
[1:24:50]
only additional quest that needs actioned. Yeah. I was kind
[1:24:53]
of hoping it would have been part of the other,
[1:24:55]
uh, report. Cause yeah, let's I agree. Let's action it
[1:24:59]
rather than have it sit there. So, um, that's certainly
[1:25:05]
one option. Worth trying. Okay. And we just have it.
[1:25:12]
Right. We don't have budget for all this, but we
[1:25:13]
have all these bowlers, which is a pretty perfect location
[1:25:16]
there. So I would just recommend take out the bottom
[1:25:19]
part of the motion. The Council Direct staff to refer
[1:25:21]
this to ad hoc committee and just add to receive
[1:25:24]
it and approve bullards for that location from 11 to
[1:25:27]
regional Road 12. Concession 11 to regional. Do they, uh,
[1:25:34]
stay in the wintertime. No. No. So. You might need
[1:25:41]
to revisit again in the winter season. Because there is,
[1:25:47]
there is excessive speed and there's concerns around the steep
[1:25:52]
hill, especially with the, um, bus, the school bus. And
[1:25:57]
we've had a similar complaint like this before. So. There
[1:26:02]
might be further consideration to do, but I think that's
[1:26:04]
a great interim solution, Mike. So I support that. Okay.
[1:26:09]
And then at least it's something for this year. And
[1:26:12]
then, uh, it'll probably be those butlers would probably only
[1:26:15]
be in for six weeks or so by the time
[1:26:17]
the roads were redone. But once they redo the road,
[1:26:19]
there's going to probably be speeding issues even further. Right.
[1:26:22]
So, okay. And then yeah, this could be revisited in
[1:26:25]
the future. The secondary, are you okay with that. I'm
[1:26:29]
good with that. I just have one question and it's
[1:26:31]
a slick question. The bullards are the down the middle.
[1:26:35]
Yeah. Okay. Perfect. Yeah. Used to go down to the
[1:26:38]
harbour and then all the lake houses. That's what I
[1:26:41]
thought. I just want to make sure I was clear.
[1:26:42]
Yep. Okay. You're good. Yeah. I'm good with that. Thank
[1:26:47]
you. Okay. Councillor Frank. Yeah. I echo that too. Thank
[1:26:51]
you, Mr. Mayor. I believe anywhere in a talented blowing
[1:26:54]
speed is not a bad thing. Obviously I like to
[1:26:56]
see a throat toe township. So whatever we can do
[1:26:59]
now. And then a new term. We can revisit. If
[1:27:02]
you have to and do whatever we got to do.
[1:27:04]
Thanks. For sure. Yeah. These bollards we invest a lot
[1:27:07]
of money and they weren't even deployed this year. So
[1:27:09]
let's use them where we can. Right. So. Okay. Any
[1:27:12]
other regional councillor peningale. Go ahead. Yes. Thanks very much.
[1:27:16]
And through you. I like, um, I like your suggestion
[1:27:20]
for now when the road is done to put the
[1:27:22]
ballards there. But, um, as Councillor Kenneth said, you know,
[1:27:26]
there have been a number of complaints along there. And
[1:27:28]
we do need calming traffic calming solutions for, um, for
[1:27:34]
the fall, you know, for the other three months, three
[1:27:36]
seasons of the year. So. I would suggest that, um,
[1:27:43]
I mean, it's not too much for the committee to
[1:27:45]
meet, but I would like to keep this alive. Perhaps
[1:27:49]
some, you know, I haven't investigated myself in terms of
[1:27:54]
signs. But in certain areas, you know, we even use
[1:27:57]
slow down signs. Uh, I'm not sure if the school
[1:28:01]
bus signs there, but I think we, um. I think
[1:28:05]
we actually have to probably look at this again with
[1:28:10]
the traffic calming committee, you know, just to make sure
[1:28:13]
we have solutions to the other three seasons. Okay. So
[1:28:16]
leave that in there and just add bollards to it
[1:28:18]
then. That's all. Okay. Okay. Great. Thanks. So move our
[1:28:24]
secondary. Are we good with that? Okay. Yeah. Anybody else
[1:28:28]
on council. Uh, to our clerks team. That's you got
[1:28:32]
that one. So basically the, the same motion that's on
[1:28:35]
there, we're just going to add the bollards for the
[1:28:36]
end of 26. That's all. Okay. See no more questions.
[1:28:43]
We'll call the question all those in favor. That's carried.
[1:28:47]
Thank you. All right. Next up is 11. 3 and
[1:28:50]
this was pulled by Regional Council Headingal from the CII.
[1:28:55]
I'm assuming you're going to move the motion for you.
[1:28:58]
Yes. Thanks very much. I'd like to move the motion.
[1:29:01]
But in addition to this afternoon or you're adding to
[1:29:04]
the motion. No, it's just like DCS in addition to
[1:29:07]
receiving it for information. I'd just like to clarify that
[1:29:09]
we are endorsing it, which would mean that the township
[1:29:12]
would send a letter back to the Rescue Lake Simco
[1:29:16]
Coalition stating our endorsement of the report. Okay. You'll need
[1:29:22]
a seconder for that. Councillor Canavan. Go ahead, Krioz the
[1:29:27]
mover. Yeah. No, that's it. That's it, Mike. Okay. And
[1:29:31]
second, Angela. Nothing to add things. Remember it's Council questions
[1:29:37]
comments. All right. Seeing none, all those in favor. Oh.
[1:29:44]
That's carried. Robin, go ahead. Sorry. Sorry. I was trying
[1:29:48]
to find my, uh, hand icon. The only thing I
[1:29:50]
would note is that one of the recommendations in that
[1:29:52]
report does have us endorsing a stop on the North
[1:29:56]
Land or in Peffrelloff as opposed to Beaverton. Oh, we
[1:30:00]
don't want that. Oh, you're right. That's a very good
[1:30:02]
point. We want it in Beaverton. Maybe just a clarification
[1:30:05]
on that. Okay. So I would recommend Regional Councillor Petting
[1:30:10]
Guild that when we send the endorsement that we would
[1:30:12]
be very clear that we are endorsing and stop in
[1:30:16]
Beaverton, I actually did talk to the chair of Rescue
[1:30:19]
Lake Simco Correlation. And he just, he said he supports
[1:30:21]
Beaverton as well. Cause I, I caught that a couple
[1:30:23]
of weeks ago. So I would add that to the
[1:30:25]
motion in our letter very clearly. We are supporting the
[1:30:28]
Beaverton stuff. Yeah. A hundred percent, a hundred percent. And
[1:30:32]
Ms. Prentice, thank you very much for catching that on
[1:30:34]
the motion. Okay. We already carried that. We passed that
[1:30:40]
anyway. So staff will just add that the Beaverton wording
[1:30:43]
on that as direction. Thank you. All right. One second.
[1:30:50]
Okay. That is it for correspondence. We have no notice
[1:30:53]
is a motion. We do have a couple of bylaws.
[1:30:55]
So 13 one 13 two. Mover in a seconder for
[1:30:58]
both. Councillor Campbell, Councillor Frank questions comments. Seeing none, all
[1:31:05]

business, any other business council. Seeing none? Perfect. Okay, Regional
[2:39:14]
Councillor Update, of course, there's no regional meetings until the
[2:39:18]
inaugural meeting in the fall, but I have requested a
[2:39:21]
meeting with our North Durham Police Inspector, and that's going
[2:39:24]
to, I think he was just calling, so that's going
[2:39:26]
to take place this week sometime, still seeing some problems
[2:39:29]
throughout Bieberton areas of Cannington that I want to ensure
[2:39:31]
that's being addressed and just bring some issues forward to
[2:39:34]
him. So if there's anything that Council wants me to
[2:39:37]
bring forward, just shoot me an email or give me
[2:39:39]
a call, and I'll bring that forward at the appropriate
[2:39:42]
time when I meet with him. Reach on Councillor Penningham.
[2:39:45]
As you say, new meetings, since we met last, thanks.
