00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,960

45
00:03:58,422 --> 00:04:00,442

Hot dog race.

55
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,919
Okay, Chief, you're up.

56
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:26,720
» Good evening, everyone.
Um July was a pretty uh

57
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:31,160
non-eventful
month as far as fire goes. Nothing

58
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:34,160
really really big. Um
August has been very slow. We've only

59
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:38,280
had two calls
um in the month so far.

60
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,960
So, that was good.
Um we did get the backup camera

61
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,840
installed in three. That was part of the
capital budget improvement and does make

62
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,200
it a big difference when you're trying
to back into that trailer. Now, you can

63
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:50,960
see what's what's back there.
Uh, yeah, the towers got some upgrades

64
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:55,160
back in July.
So for about 2 hours we couldn't uh

65
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,360
talk to each other. Only by uh
>> It's frightening.

66
00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:01,200
» It was frightening, yes. Uh, we couldn't
communicate with Brockville. Uh, and we

67
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:04,880
knew that well in advance, so that's why
we set up what we did. So, uh, we were

68
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:08,240
lucky nothing happened when we did that.
>> Is there Yeah.

69
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,440
» Nothing happened. Is there some way that
can be

70
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:14,360
made better?
>> Well, just doing the upgrades for the

71
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:18,040
new communication. It wasn't anything uh
wasn't a uh mechanical breakdown or

72
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,240
electrical breakdown, just the upgrades,
computer upgrades to this tower system

73
00:06:19,919 --> 00:06:23,800
they did. That's what it was for.
>> Okay, yeah.

74
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:26,919
» Um, it's just a one-time deal. It was
did ours and then Real Lakes had one,

75
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:29,840
the same thing. They had the same
problem, not problem, but the same issue

76
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,960
going on. So did Leeds, so.
>> Okay.

77
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,640
» Um,
we donated uh

78
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:41,680
quite a bit of old equipment.
Kind of cleaned their trailer out. Um,

79
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,919
old SCBA bottles that we can't use
because of the reality here, but they

80
00:06:42,919 --> 00:06:47,360
can up
First Nation, so.

81
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:52,360
There's all kinds of uh old SCBA
bottles, uh, bunker gear. We had a an

82
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,720
extra set of uh
extrication tools that we never used. It

83
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,640
sat in the It's been sitting in the
trailer for a year and a half.

84
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,840
Um,
>> You know, you should

85
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,600
» generators, hoses.
>> You should take picture of that and go

86
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,640
to the newspaper cuz the other
departments do the same, but and I know

87
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,000
you you guys have been doing that for
for many years, but you you should be

88
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,919
recognized for that.
>> Well, they put it on Facebook. Uh, Ian

89
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:14,040
Robinson, who's the local
representative, had it on Facebook. Um,

90
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,000
I think it is
>> It's a nice thing to do and it's It just

91
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,720
You should recognize for doing it.
>> I'm on Facebook and I didn't see any of

92
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,960
that.
>> Oh, I saw it several times. Now, I did

93
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:27,360
get an invite today from Mike Prior from
LCI. They also they donated the truck

94
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,120
that all this stuff is going in. And
they're doing a uh

95
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,520
uh
photo op on Wednesday

96
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,720
» That's what I mean.
>> at

97
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,560
Lansdowne with the truck and and the
stuff. So, I'm going to try to get in on

98
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,160
that.
>> Okay, well

99
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:44,080
Just just so you're recognized for doing
it cuz it's a good thing to do it.

100
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:47,680
» But it was it was all over Facebook, but
I saw it several times. Okay.

101
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:52,080
Um
the Young's Mills Crossing got opened

102
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:56,040
and closed and opened with any issues,
but we did have a a good contingency

103
00:07:53,960 --> 00:08:00,920
plan in place if we had had a call, so
that was good. Um the the Paxson beings

104
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:04,600
are just haven't been running for a
number of years. They stopped in COVID.

105
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:08,200
They just never started again, so they
started up, so it's all the Eastern

106
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:12,480
Shore fire departments, not just Leeds
and Granville, so it's a good networking

107
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:15,080
to talk to. This one was a
a Zoom meeting, but hopefully the next

108
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:19,280
one will be
face-to-face meeting.

109
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:23,080
We did two
rounds of extrication training in July.

110
00:08:20,919 --> 00:08:27,880
Both those days were like the plus 35
days, so the guys really got their

111
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:31,720
workout that day. Equipment checks and
association meeting. So, we have five

112
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,960
new firefighters here. Just building
ready to start the firefighter one and

113
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:38,240
two.
And firefighter Summers is enrolled in

114
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:42,960
the fire investigator course.
And there's another upcoming county-wide

115
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:45,120
EV electric vehicle fire training course
as well.

116
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,880
So, we're going to send a couple folks
to that.

117
00:08:46,839 --> 00:08:52,880
Um Jan is also enrolled in part four of
the fire code. That's just that's

118
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:56,760
dealing with courtroom, which is stuff
that we have we have to go to court.

119
00:08:54,680 --> 00:09:01,200
What procedures that we have to do as a
fire department to put that in motion in

120
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:04,680
court.
Um

121
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:08,280
number four needs the extra work after
safety that was completed.

122
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:14,839
Um we're looking for things for the fire
services grant. And that's just says 226

123
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:19,520
not seven not 1617, but that's due next
week, so Jan will sit down and do that

124
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:23,560
transfer.
So, the type on type on again for that.

125
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,640
We've got a couple things that we put
together to buy yet.

126
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,240
And

161
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:51,120
believe are being shared and reviewed
with the fire department. And uh we'll

00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:54,200

received on that.

167
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,320

Frontenac Young website.

182
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:30,360
Jennifer, do you want to add anything
more you want to add to that or are we

183
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:34,400
» Um no, not particularly.
Are there any questions on that report?

184
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,640
» It's just that the money we
where it came from the budget is

185
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:44,480
interesting.
>> Yes, actually it is. So, to go back to

186
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:48,920
my previous reports, um, because of some
savings that the summer student has

187
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:51,720
found on how to scan documents, those
big large,

188
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:56,880
um,
building permit plans

189
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:02,280
that we didn't think we had the capacity
in-house to do, we realized that we do

190
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:07,920
now have that. So, the budgeted amount
that we had put in for those, we're

191
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:10,360
hoping can be spent on updating the
website instead.

192
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,720
» Still in the budget?
>> Yeah. Updating the website always a good

193
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,880
plan.
>> Yeah, you bet.

194
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,240
» Yeah, I
>> All right.

195
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:20,840
» I
Um, yeah, I think it's it's a great plan

196
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:24,400
because we're trying to, you know,
direct people to the website. We're

197
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:29,839
using QR codes to get people to the
website. So, the more it can be

198
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:35,040
user-friendly, the better. And I think,
um, our CDC sent some suggestions about,

199
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:39,720
you know, their work on
trying to access various,

200
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:42,920
uh, parts of the website and and where
some of the roadblocks were. So,

201
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:46,000
hopefully that'll be helpful to us. I
sent it to Jen.

202
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:49,000
» Yeah, so I'll talk to you about that
after we We couldn't It's like a locked

203
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,000
document.
>> Oh, is it?

204
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:54,360
» Yeah.
>> Oh, I think it has to go Anyway, it goes

205
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:58,015
into It's one of those technical things
that one of the ones that I might

206
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,640
actually know the answer to.
>> [laughter]

207
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:04,480
» Okay. So, we'll do that. But, yeah, I
think it's a it's a great idea and to

208
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:09,520
get rid of some of those
old files that are confusing if people

209
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:12,839
enter in any event and it's any event
that was 2 years ago or whatever. So,

210
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,760
it's good.
Good use of money.

211
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,839

296
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:24,520
workshop? Did they think ever happened
with that?

297
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:29,560
» Well, what happened was and we
we had planned Ruth Carter was going to

298
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:33,240
do that at at the Legion on Fridays and
then now the Legion is booked for

299
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:38,160
lunches
Developmental Services has booked the

300
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:43,200
site every Friday to do
cooking classes with some of their

301
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:46,080
clients. And um
>> Oh, right.

302
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:49,560
» Yeah, so
Ruth is working where

303
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:54,840
we approached
the supervisor of the group and we are

304
00:21:52,920 --> 00:22:00,200
looking at doing some cooking workshops
in the fall. And we've also got so

305
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:03,320
a couple of other ones that are going to
be kind of fun.

306
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:07,040
Mike
Pielowson from Spicy Ric's for example

307
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:11,400

hot sauce cooking event at the Legion.

308
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:14,440
So yes, they are coming up. We just
didn't want to look like we were you

309
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:18,400
know
We wanted to make the other group

310
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:21,880
comfortable and now that started. I
think they have four or five people, but

311
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:26,400
we felt
in speaking with their supervisor we can

312
00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:29,160
then open it up to others as well.
>> The reason I asked you that is because

313
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:33,440
we've had
cooking classes at the odd time with the

314
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:37,960

00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:41,000
» Oh, there was another group. Trying to
remember which one it was. Young at

316
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,760
Heart Bloom, I think. And it worked out
really well at the community center. So

317
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,480
I mean
>> Maybe we could do it there.

318
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:48,640
» Yeah, cuz if you have a conflict with
them, there might be other people that

319
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:51,120
like to do the cooking that you do
rather than that one. So then it would

320
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:53,920
give them options.
>> That's true and there is there are

321
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:58,840
facilities here. That's a good
suggestion. Yeah, Ruth's been kind of

322
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:04,080
because she used in her former job when
she worked with the Y, she did a lot of

323
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:09,400
cooking classes and you know, cooking on
a budget, cooking for one, those sorts

324
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:13,520
of things. So, yeah. And so, those it
just got delayed because we were we were

325
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:17,200
waiting to see what happened with the
Legion. Yeah, we can do that.

326
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:22,160

They only only point point seven two
percent increase.

377
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:46,360
Which is decent. Margaret, do you have a
comment on that?

378
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:52,840
» Yeah, we had a a very extensive
presentation by the executive director

379
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:57,160
on this on the budget and
the decision was, you know, to the

380
00:26:55,360 --> 00:27:02,600
recommendation was to hold it to the
status quo as much as we can,

381
00:27:00,360 --> 00:27:08,600
given all the changes that are going to
to take place. So, you'll see that the

382
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:15,440
fees are pretty much staying the same.
Um and any extra money that may be

383
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:19,800
required will be taken out of
the reserve for now, so that they're not

384
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:25,400
putting any
extra burden on the townships. So, the

385
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:30,720
budget the recommendation for the budget
to go forward was passed unanimously,

386
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:36,560
and I think everyone felt that there had
been a real effort. I felt this year

387
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:40,160
there was a very good explanation of the
whys and what's.

388
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:45,200
And uh
again, given a it's a transition year,

389
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:49,800
it just makes good sense. The other
piece that I think will be uh

390
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:54,880
important for the new council to be
aware of is it's not looking like this

391
00:27:52,480 --> 00:28:02,680
trans- this change is going to happen
early in 2027 as predicted. It'll

392
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:06,320
probably be close to the year. So, we
may

393
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:11,640
municipalities may want to have or will
want to have a representative sitting

394
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:17,600
there for the that period of time. Um
and I know we're talking about the

395
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:22,280
budget, but just to underline to the uh
the recommendations around

396
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:25,400
representation on the board, um the the
ministry the government is sticking to

397
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:31,720
their
plan, so that there would be

398
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:35,920
one rural representative from our area,
and that will be someone appointed

399
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:40,160
through the United Counties. So, the
upper tier will appoint that person. So,

400
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:44,400
I just keep underlining that because
it's I think it it's got real

401
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:50,720
repercussions for the rural the rural
voice on that committee.

402
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:56,160
Yeah, so anyway, so just that long way
of saying that I think it's a good

403
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:56,160
budget well thought out. Yeah.

404
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,960
» The longest in years and you can
actually read it.

405
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:04,320
» You can read it, yes.
>> Quite the change.

406
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:08,520
So moved by Carson Massey and seconded

420
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:06,360

My apologies.

421
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:12,405
Oh, before that newsletter, got you.
Okay.

422

» okay.
>> Right there.

424
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:19,480
» There it is, okay.
Thank you.

425
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:23,040
Yeah, I know. [laughter] I'm I'm going
too quickly one way or the other. So, um

426
00:30:22,885 --> 00:30:28,280
» [clears throat]
>> so the the Ontario Trillium Foundation

427
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:35,480
Seed Grant application is due actually
this week. We've had um very little

428
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:39,360
notice about it, but anyway, um
this is

429
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:43,680
we've received this grant now 2 years in
a row, so this will be the third year

430
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:49,840
for applying for the this the seed
grant. Once again, it has to do

431
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:54,200
has to be focused on
recreation [clears throat] if you're

432
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:56,760
municipality under 20,000.
And um

433
00:30:56,291 --> 00:31:00,760
» [clears throat]
>> a seed grant is just kind of what it

434
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:05,160
what it says. It's planting a seed to
grow something bigger.

435
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:09,480
And so one
So if you take a look, the purpose is

436
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:14,360
for organizational planning, piloting a
new program, or building capacity to

437
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:21,960
plan for future programs and services.
And so in speaking to Ron and and and to

438
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:27,120
Jennifer and and and Colin as well. Um
and just thinking about we've been

439
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:31,720
trying to um
you know, we we had the seed grant for

440
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:36,960
our master plan. And then from that, the
seed grant for the trail that we're now

441
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:41,280
implementing so that we have various
projects and we can kind of evaluate at

442
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:46,280
the end where we want to go with them.
So with this one, um

443
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:50,320
actually this
it it seemed like a natural growth. One

444
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:56,600
of the things that we've been really
trying to do is promote partnerships and

445
00:31:53,960 --> 00:32:01,160
build collaboration to help us deliver
our recreation programs because we're

446
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:05,600
such a small municipality and don't have
the staff necessarily.

447
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:12,280
With that, you want volunteers, too. But
that's a whole other um thrust. So

448
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:15,680
the grant focus, looking at the theme
better together, and it would be a focus

449
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:19,960
on strengthening and building
partnerships to promote active living in

450
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:24,880
front of young.
So the rationale, we've developed the

451
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:30,000
recreation master plan. Now, how do we
act on it? How do we grow it? How do we

452
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:33,280
maintain our recreation programs? And we
all know the struggle we've had with

453
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:38,400
volunteering, you know, people
volunteering, etc.

454
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:42,640
Um and I look at also the capacity for
staff. I mean, there's a great will to

455
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:46,240
develop partnerships, but that takes a
lot of work and meetings and more

456
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:52,040
meetings and following up with the
meetings. And also looking, um, you

457
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:56,360
know, groups like the and just throwing
some out there. I mean, the National

458
00:32:54,040 --> 00:33:00,000
Park, the Parks Commission, different
sports leagues, even different

459
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:05,520
businesses. Like, you know, we have the
yoga group over just over the, um,

460
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:09,640
township line and our there
opportunities there.

461
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:13,360
Um, the Y, you know, different groups.
But also, um,

462
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:16,760
looking at things like some of the
barriers we've had, for example, with

463
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:23,240
the school board and the community use
of schools and and trying to navigate

464
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:26,200
that sort of thing. So, the deliverables
what we're looking at is,

465
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:31,600
um,
exploring various partnerships, um,

466
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:36,000
hopefully developing, um, some
partnership agreements or templates for

467
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:41,000
agreements. I think that's one of the
things we've realized as we've been

468
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:45,360
revisiting some of our, um,
not just recreation, but you know, some

469
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:48,400
of our recreation, um,
uh,

470
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:51,680
agreements over the years. If there's a
history of a verbal history, but we

471
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:56,800
haven't always had things in writing.
So, this would help get some things down

472
00:33:53,640 --> 00:34:02,160
in writing for future groups. And, uh,
so developing, uh, templates and, um,

473
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:05,840
looking at, you know, memorandums of
understanding, but having someone

474
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:11,800
dedicated to doing that over a 6-month
period and working with with staff and

475
00:34:09,879 --> 00:34:17,159
and the hopefully there'll be a rec
committee to to do that. So, that's our

476
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:21,600
recommendation for the grant. Um,
we're collecting some we've reached out

477
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:24,840
for some, um,
uh, quotes.

478
00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:29,399
Um, you can see that the funds available
are 10,000 to 100,000. So, we'll

479
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:34,120
probably be in the lower range of that
by we have to know by Wednesday, but I'm

480
00:34:31,399 --> 00:34:39,919
I'm thinking it'll probably be about 25
to 30 and then that would thousand

481
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:44,240
that we would be asking for. But the
purpose then is in in the fall the grow

482
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:50,800
grant will be coming out and that's a
big that's will help you grow your

483
00:34:47,399 --> 00:34:57,160
programming or take a you know it and
it's a bigger ask. So anyway, so this is

484
00:34:54,159 --> 00:35:01,920
just again to kind of support us as a
local municipality. So does that all

485
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:05,640
make sense?
Is that Yeah.

486
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:08,640
» I know that there's a lot of work goes
into those grant writing. It takes

487
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:12,440
forever to write grants.
>> Well, it's got

488
00:35:10,720 --> 00:35:16,680
yes and no depending. This one wasn't
too bad and Ron of course is always a

489
00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:20,000
huge help with all of that and good
ideas and

490
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:23,280
Jennifer and
good partners to talk to.

491
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:27,640
» That's what I mean it takes takes a a
lot of people a lot of work.

492
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:32,200
» takes a lot of talking to other people.
Yes, it does but anyway, I'm sorry

493
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:36,840
I I just feel it's important for council
to know what why the what and the why

494
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:40,280
that of what we're thinking of and and
if we can

495
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,920
do it in advance I would have liked to
have done this one more in advance but

496
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:47,440
it's just been sort of the timing of our
meetings as well. So

497
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:50,280
Anyway, so that's what we're looking at.
>> Fingers crossed.

498
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,400
» Yeah.
>> All right.

499
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,600
» Up could I
>> Oh yeah. Go ahead.

500
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:57,800
» No, well I just while we're talking
about that

501
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:02,520
when we're talking about growing it we
just got and Roger you just sent me

502
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:08,200
notice today the the grant that we've
been kind of waiting for the

503
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:10,400
infrastructure grant that that's the
huge

504
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:15,440
» Yeah.
>> a hundred thousand to a million dollar

505
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:20,520
grant that we didn't get the last time
that three and I'm not bitter three

506
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:22,720
Brockville Senate locations got
>> [laughter]

507
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:26,760
» got but
it's something you you might want to

508
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:32,360
give a little I think council needs to
think about and certainly pass on that

509
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:37,920
information to the next Council. I just
had a quick chance to go through some of

510
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:43,800
it today and had a quick chat with Ron.
Um if you recall the last time we looked

511
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:49,800
at the roof for the rink as as um
one one of our asks for that grant. Um

512
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:55,280
now, something to keep in mind is the
it's a 50/50 split for this grant. We

513
00:36:53,160 --> 00:37:00,800
last time there was a chance for our
small municipalities for a 70/30 split

514
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:05,240
and anyway, we didn't get to that point.
That's not available to us. So, that's

515
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:10,200
something else to consider. It's not due
until December 22nd, but I think we you

516
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:13,560
know, when we talk about the recreation
reserve fund and you know, what thinking

517
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:17,720
down the road, what are what are is the
priority in terms of recreation for

518
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:21,720
Front of Young? Is it still the the
rooftop for the rink? Are there other

519
00:37:19,240 --> 00:37:27,320
things? So, those are conversations I
think that need to be had um before the

520
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:31,640
application goes, but this is
a huge chance for us to do something.

521
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,840
Uh
you know, this is the one that

522
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:38,200
everybody's been waiting for. So, we
want to do this one well.

523
00:37:39,240 --> 00:37:47,160
» Okay.
Number 11, resolutions. Number 12 is Oh,

524
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:49,800
first of all, sorry. Getting ahead of
myself. Moved by Gail Williams and

525
00:37:48,720 --> 00:37:54,760
seconded by Carson Massey that the
report regarding the proposal for the

526
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:59,960
Trillium Fund grant application be
received. All in favor.

527
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,960

And moved by Carson Massey and seconded

530
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:13,720
All in favor.
Carried.

531
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:18,200
Finally got this going after when I was
Warden I said did anybody know what

532
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:21,160
Wardens do?
We do, but

533
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:24,960
the
most people don't. So, maybe we should

534
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:29,800
put a newsletter together. So, they they
started doing that and that

535
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:31,960
it looks like it's doing okay.
>> There

536
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,800
» They're putting a lot more information
on Facebook as well.

537
00:38:33,240 --> 00:38:36,800
» Yeah, good.
>> From

538
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,800
the county.

539
00:38:38,240 --> 00:38:42,080
» Correspondence moved by Carson Maci,
seconded by Miguel Williams, that

540
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:46,080
correspondence from the Ministry of
Citizenship and Multiculturalism

541
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:49,560
regarding heritage property be received
and filed.

542
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:54,800
Any comments on that?
No. All in favor.

543
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:54,800
Carries.

544
00:38:59,240 --> 00:39:03,000
And moved by Carson Maci, seconded by
Miguel Williams, that the correspondence

545
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:06,400
from the Township of Elizabethtown
Kitley regarding a request for the

546
00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:10,640
feasib- feasibility study to examine the
realignment of Highway 401 between

547
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:14,400
Mallory Town and Brockville be received
and filed.

548
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:18,560
Uh I'd like to talk a bit about that if
you don't mind.

549
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:22,480
So, we received the letter, but I don't
think we should approve it. I think we

550
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:26,560
should oppose it.
Because if you look at that at that map,

551
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:30,840
uh
they're proposing to

552
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:34,360
that the 401 be turned at Sherwood
Springs overpass

553
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:38,000
and go
north

554
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:42,640
toward Halli- Halli's Road.
So, that would knock out a lot of uh

555
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:45,440
the like Andy Clapp's property and some
of the other properties on Sherwood

556
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:50,320
Springs.
It would require a

557
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:53,760
expropriation of other properties all
along Halli's Road

558
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:58,160
and maybe some of the properties that uh
people who owned

559
00:39:55,440 --> 00:40:03,040
north of Highway 2.
And be far more costly

560
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:07,200
and more disruptive than the current
plans. Do you remember when we went to

561
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:10,920
the open house at the Legion?
And the the plans there were

562
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,960
fairly simple, you know, fairly simple
and straightforward. They own the

563
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:16,880
property
the they the province owns the property

564
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:20,800
where they're proposing to
to expand the the the lanes.

565
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:23,640
Except for maybe they don't want to have
to knock out the the the salt shed down

566
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:27,720
at the end, but they don't want that
too.

567
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:32,280
That's less disruptive and less costly
than what Mr.

568
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:35,920
DeCruz has proposed. So,
I'm going to suggest that we I can write

569
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:41,920
a letter if if it's okay back to the
minister saying we discussed it and we

570
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:46,320
disagree with the with that proposal and
that they should carry forward with the

571
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,720
their current plan. If that's okay
with everybody.

572
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,840
» Sounds good.
>> Okay.

573
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:53,480
All right, so I'll get a letter to
Jennifer and I'll copy it, make sure

574
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,600
everybody gets a copy.
Go ahead, Mark. Oh.

575
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,200
» laughing. He's a family
>> Okay.

576
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,840
Oh.
>> But that's fine. I I just disagree with

577
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:05,520
it.
>> Yeah, no it's it's I I I I sort of under

578
00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:11,640
I see where they're coming from, but
there's a history there of of that uh

579
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:14,240
of that bad
neighborhood. So, anyway, okay, thank

580
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,880
you for that. I'll I'll do the letter
and I'll make sure everybody gets a

581
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,320
copy. So, we
the motion here says we just receive and

582
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:22,478
file the letter.
>> Yeah, do you want to add that direction

583
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:26,920
is given to the mayor to write to
[clears throat] the minister?

584
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,920
» Sure. Um

585
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:09,240
And I I must add that I
um did speak with the mayor of Little

586
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:12,360
Town Ketley and they they received the
the uh

587
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:15,880
presentation, but they didn't approve of
the route themselves yet. They just They

588
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:20,080
said, "Okay, we'll take this under
advisement

589
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:23,760
and advisement ask for us to study, but
they they too didn't come right down and

590
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:26,240
say, "Oh, yeah, we we agree with you."
So, but

591
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:29,480
most of the disruption will be in
Elizabethtown-Kitley if that proposal

592
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:32,160
goes through.
It's It's a little bit Sherwood Springs.

593
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:35,320
It'll take a
few houses there, but most of it's going

594
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:40,560
to be taken through the Halleck Road and
then along the Long Beach area.

595
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:43,000
Okay, so read it to you Moved by Carson

Fire Service, yeah. It's all there,

625
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:47,520
yeah.
Announcements.

626
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:51,360
Any? Richard.
>> Just uh to mention that that the Village

627
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:56,160
Fair um
fire prevention will be supported by the

628
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:59,960
entire fire department uh in doing
public uh education

629
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:03,280
on fire safety.
So, we'll we'll be there

630
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:06,240
with our friends from the OPP. They'll
be right next to us.

631
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:13,280
And we'll have our new tent.
>> And I asked you for a similar thing for

632
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:16,160
the agriculture event, right? That last
time the Village Fair you had kids with

633
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:18,600
a
pretend they're putting fires out or

634
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,320
something. They had some kind of
>> Oh, no, that was way long ago.

635
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:25,000
» Do you still have something like that
that you could do it in October?

636
00:45:23,240 --> 00:45:26,960
» Uh when we when we lost Sam, we lost a
lot of that stuff.

637
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,040
» Oh.
>> Um

638
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:32,400
» Okay, we'll think about it. Put it on
your on your fire cap and think if

639
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,720
there's something for kids to do on on
that day that Sunday.

640
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:37,480
» have a
We'll have a pretty good turnout from

641
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,160
the fire department uh supporting uh
fire prevention.

642
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:42,040
» Okay.
>> Uh

643
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:45,760
got lots of stuff to give away. That
always entices the kids.

644
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:49,560
» All right. Okay, good. So,
Saturday, Village Fair.

645
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:51,800
» Yeah, Saturday from 10:00 till 4:00.
>> Yeah.

646
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:54,760
Good.
Anything else? Anything else?

647
00:45:54,880 --> 00:46:01,400
Okay.
Uh notices of motion, none.

648
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:04,080
Public
have any questions?

649
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:09,440
Open the mic.
>> with uh

650
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:12,480
» we say no, we don't want the 401 move,
but Elizabethtown says they want the 401

651
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:16,800
move,
and the province says too bad.

652
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:20,600
» Well, the province has a plan now with
the with the with the

653
00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:25,560
Elizabethtown-Kitley proposal the
gentleman proposed was

654
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:29,560
diverting from the province's plan
and running it north

655
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:31,960
from Sherwood Springs, which would you
know, that big curve at Long Beach right

656
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:35,560
now,
to avoid that curve he said

657
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:39,720
rather than go along Brockmere Cliff
where it where it is now,

658
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:43,440
this proposal wants it to go further
north where that would

659
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:48,920
uh from Sherwood Springs so it go
through Helen's Road and and hook back

660
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:52,200
up the 401 at the current Helen's Road
overpass.

661
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:55,760
Which would only take and in this
proposal it would only take 1 km off the

662
00:46:54,720 --> 00:46:59,560
travel.
>> You know, I couldn't believe that.

663
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:04,400
» And and uh
I it's more I I think for a neighborhood

664
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:08,480
uh calming situation for that Brockmere
Cliffs area rather than rather than uh

665
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:12,760
being practical.
>> Yeah.

666
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:16,080
» So, the province made they made some uh
public uh

667
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:18,600
public open houses last year last
summer.

668
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:21,960
A number of us went to that. They showed
us a plan. There's three or four

669
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:27,720
options,
and they explained why option A, B, and

670
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:30,720
C didn't work, but option D is is most
preferred.

671
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:34,280
And it does make more sense when when
when they're talking about maybe only

672
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:39,400
have to take one piece of property or
knock down the salt shed or something.

673
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:45,200
Basically holding the the the expansion
of the 401 within the existing

674
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:48,520
property that the province owns.
They might have to come a wee bit north

675
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:53,120
and but there's still room room there
for three lanes on each side to turn

676
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:56,720
into a six-lane.
Um I don't know how far along the I I

677
00:47:55,120 --> 00:48:00,360
they're moving in the uh
overpasses right now are being widened.

678
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:05,360
They've been working on this one for a
long time.

679
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:08,880
Um they replaced Halleck Road.
And they have to do some work in Cherry

680
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:13,120
Valley Springs. Then I think once that's
done, you'll see them starting to widen

681
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:17,840
their highway highway.
So hopefully within the next within the

682
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,840
next 5 years maybe.

683
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:24,440
» Do we actually get to say in that or can
we say

684
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,440
» Yeah, no.

685
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:29,640
No, there's I think there's more
consultation to be had.

686
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:33,840
But I I think
in my view it's worthwhile having the

687
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:37,560
six lanes.
In that area because this city is very

688
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:40,400
very busy. The traffic personally want
to

689
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:45,240
» When we looked at the proposals over at
the we kind of agreed with the MTO's

690
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:49,000
recommendation what they're proposing at
the time like Roger said wasn't going to

691
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:52,880
take a whole bunch of people's houses
and that stuff. Where they were going

692
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:57,040
was staying on MTO's property and
widening making the curve and being able

693
00:48:55,000 --> 00:49:01,000
to put the six lane in.
This proposal tonight is from a private

694
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:04,480
gentleman who presented it to the other
township and now has asked it to be sent

695
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:08,200
to us
to make to make a drastic change against

696
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:11,680
the ministry.
>> Yes, yeah, yeah.

697
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:14,120
Yeah, no problem. Yeah, this is
different different from what the

698
00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:16,520
ministry is already and what we've
already

699
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:20,600
said is a good idea. We haven't formally
agreed to it but we said it's

700
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:24,080
the proposal the MTO has now is the
better plan.

701
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:27,880
So there'll be more consultation down
the road but this is like Carson said

702
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:31,920
this is a separate he wants the whole
thing just

703
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:34,920
Yeah, yeah.
All righty.

704
00:49:33,240 --> 00:49:39,760
And if anybody else who's watching has
any questions, please ask

705
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:44,680
Jennifer tomorrow.
There's no in camera meeting.

706
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:49,120
Um moved by Carson Massey second by Gail
Williamson that bylaw number 33-26

707
