00:09:22,140 --> 00:09:24,720
budget document before I begin I would

66
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,580
like to formally acknowledge members of

67
00:09:26,580 --> 00:09:29,160
staff that have been an integral part of

68
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,920
the compilation of this budget without

69
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,740
them we wouldn't be here today with with

70
00:09:34,740 --> 00:09:36,779
the ability to present it so I thank you

71
00:09:36,779 --> 00:09:39,779
for all of the work that you've done and

72
00:09:39,779 --> 00:09:41,279
all the questions that you've answered

73
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:43,820
as we work through the process so

74
00:09:43,820 --> 00:09:45,899
I'm just going to click here and

75
00:09:45,899 --> 00:09:47,700
hopefully I get all the right pages

76
00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:51,590
bear with me if I don't

77
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:52,680
oh

78
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:58,070
this thing's a little bit finicky so

79
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,600
a little bit of lag time

80
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,120
so the budget document on an annual

81
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,920
basis we prepare it for council's

82
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,080
authorization to um

83
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,760
or for Council to authorize the

84
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,279
expenditures for the upcoming year

85
00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:14,220
this document really provides the annual

86
00:10:14,220 --> 00:10:15,779
plan and sets of priorities for

87
00:10:15,779 --> 00:10:17,580
municipal staff and it becomes part of

88
00:10:17,580 --> 00:10:20,580
their work plan and as you look through

89
00:10:20,580 --> 00:10:22,560
this document we've we've organized it

90
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:24,180
in three main categories we have the

91
00:10:24,180 --> 00:10:25,620
operating budget which speaks to the

92
00:10:25,620 --> 00:10:28,080
day-to-day operations throughout the

93
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,940
various departments we have segments

94
00:10:29,940 --> 00:10:32,279
that speak to transfers to reserves

95
00:10:32,279 --> 00:10:34,380
where we set aside dedicated funds to

96
00:10:34,380 --> 00:10:36,320
reserves and Reserve funds

97
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,360
that help us Finance projects over the

98
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,100
long term and then we have a capital

99
00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:42,779
component which is for the acquisition

100
00:10:42,779 --> 00:10:44,940
or maintenance of the larger assets that

101
00:10:44,940 --> 00:10:47,329
we have

102
00:10:47,339 --> 00:10:50,040
um or we have very limited sources of

103
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,240
revenue to fund all of these

104
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,399
expenditures we have obviously user fees

105
00:10:53,399 --> 00:10:56,700
and service charges we use uh reserves

106
00:10:56,700 --> 00:10:59,459
and grant money and sometimes financing

107
00:10:59,459 --> 00:11:01,320
where it's necessary and of course the

108
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,240
last factor is property taxation which

109
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,160
is what we are ultimately trying to keep

110
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,220
at a at a steady level

111
00:11:08,220 --> 00:11:09,000
um

112
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,339
I also need to note for you that this

113
00:11:11,339 --> 00:11:12,899
particular budget document does not

114
00:11:12,899 --> 00:11:14,399
include the county of Northumberland

115
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:17,160
budget numbers

116
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,560
and it does not speak to anything

117
00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:21,600
related to the education tax portion of

118
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:28,970
the tax bill

119
00:11:28,980 --> 00:11:31,550
that's right

120
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:40,250
budget schedule go back one

121
00:11:40,260 --> 00:11:42,540
sorry I'm not sure which way this thing

122
00:11:42,540 --> 00:11:47,750
is going

123
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,860
Karen can you bring that up to the back

124
00:11:49,860 --> 00:11:55,250
to the top it's scrolling down

125
00:11:55,260 --> 00:11:58,680
there we go thank you yep yeah that

126
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:00,480
would be great thank you

127
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,300
so uh the next slide please

128
00:12:03,300 --> 00:12:06,060
yeah so just for information the budget

129
00:12:06,060 --> 00:12:08,579
timeline that we uh typically follow is

130
00:12:08,579 --> 00:12:10,079
that we distribute the operating Capital

131
00:12:10,079 --> 00:12:13,920
budgets uh to staff in late August we

132
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,540
asked that the submission submissions of

133
00:12:15,540 --> 00:12:16,980
the operating and capital budgets come

134
00:12:16,980 --> 00:12:19,140
back to finance during the month of

135
00:12:19,140 --> 00:12:20,040
September

136
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,399
and we review and compile that data in

137
00:12:23,399 --> 00:12:25,440
the months of September and October

138
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,019
and we go through an extensive review of

139
00:12:28,019 --> 00:12:29,579
that with the CAO and the various

140
00:12:29,579 --> 00:12:31,380
department heads and we typically

141
00:12:31,380 --> 00:12:33,000
present the first draft of the budget to

142
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,700
Council in November second draft in

143
00:12:35,700 --> 00:12:38,399
December and in most years we will come

144
00:12:38,399 --> 00:12:40,140
back with a final budget in December but

145
00:12:40,140 --> 00:12:41,700
because this is a municipal election

146
00:12:41,700 --> 00:12:44,220
year the municipal act prohibits us from

147
00:12:44,220 --> 00:12:46,200
passing that budget in the current year

148
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,959
so it must be deferred until the next

149
00:12:48,959 --> 00:12:50,540
year

150
00:12:50,540 --> 00:12:54,000
we tend to want to bring the budget to

151
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,519
council for consideration as early as

152
00:12:56,519 --> 00:12:59,399
possible it allows more time for Council

153
00:12:59,399 --> 00:13:02,399
to deliberate and then once it's passed

154
00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:04,620
it allows us the opportunity to go out

155
00:13:04,620 --> 00:13:06,420
to the market to fulfill some of the

156
00:13:06,420 --> 00:13:09,300
capital items we start immediately

157
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:10,740
following the approval of the budget

158
00:13:10,740 --> 00:13:12,480
with the procurement process to acquire

159
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,279
the goods and services that are that are

160
00:13:14,279 --> 00:13:16,380
listed in this document

161
00:13:16,380 --> 00:13:19,920
our Target approval date is January 10th

162
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,019
it's not set in stone it certainly it

163
00:13:22,019 --> 00:13:23,459
counts as discretion but that is the

164
00:13:23,459 --> 00:13:28,430
target approval date for us

165
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,420
thank you

166
00:13:30,420 --> 00:13:33,480
so we typically like to summarize in the

167
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,540
in within the next eight categories uh

168
00:13:36,540 --> 00:13:38,220
typically this is where you see all of

169
00:13:38,220 --> 00:13:39,980
the changes within the budget

170
00:13:39,980 --> 00:13:42,240
and they're summarized as follows

171
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,920
employee compensation and this relates

172
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,440
to the existing staff complement we do

173
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,320
have a collective agreements in place

174
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,899
and so we have to adhere to the cost of

175
00:13:51,899 --> 00:13:53,399
living adjustments that are negotiated

176
00:13:53,399 --> 00:13:55,860
within those Collective agreements cost

177
00:13:55,860 --> 00:13:58,440
of living has been included at 1.75 and

178
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,839
we are seeing an overall increase in in

179
00:14:00,839 --> 00:14:04,320
our benefit carrier costs of 7.4 percent

180
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,180
that being Industrial Alliance at the

181
00:14:06,180 --> 00:14:08,220
highest which is again something that's

182
00:14:08,220 --> 00:14:10,500
out of the municipalities control

183
00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:12,660
mandatory legislation if there are any

184
00:14:12,660 --> 00:14:14,880
newer uh changes in legislation that

185
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,279
require us to add additional costs

186
00:14:17,279 --> 00:14:20,160
within the budget we identify those and

187
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,100
in 2023 various departments are going to

188
00:14:23,100 --> 00:14:24,420
talk about some of the initiatives that

189
00:14:24,420 --> 00:14:26,880
they have and to highlight them we will

190
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,339
be updating the asset management plan

191
00:14:29,339 --> 00:14:31,500
official plan Community risk assessment

192
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:33,360
development charges background study and

193
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,220
the storm water master plan there are

194
00:14:35,220 --> 00:14:37,560
funds allocated for that as well

195
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,839
additional Staffing levels we would

196
00:14:39,839 --> 00:14:43,860
identify here any new staff members or

197
00:14:43,860 --> 00:14:46,139
where there are staff hires in the prior

198
00:14:46,139 --> 00:14:47,940
year and those wages and benefits are

199
00:14:47,940 --> 00:14:51,240
annualized in 2023 we have the

200
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,760
equivalent of 1.5 full-time employee

201
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,699
allocated within it's predominantly

202
00:14:56,699 --> 00:14:58,019
within the parks and rec but it

203
00:14:58,019 --> 00:15:00,480
straddles Parks and Recreation corporate

204
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,980
facilities and cemeteries for those

205
00:15:01,980 --> 00:15:04,019
additional hours and of course the

206
00:15:04,019 --> 00:15:05,399
annualized benefits for new staff

207
00:15:05,399 --> 00:15:07,139
members we did have a couple of those in

208
00:15:07,139 --> 00:15:09,720
2022 so those benefits have been

209
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,459
annualized and included in the 2023

210
00:15:11,459 --> 00:15:12,600
budget

211
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,360
new Services we have not identified any

212
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,399
new specific services that we're

213
00:15:17,399 --> 00:15:20,160
bringing into the budget for 2023

214
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,860
and as far as an inflationary it goes

215
00:15:22,860 --> 00:15:24,779
without saying that inflation is

216
00:15:24,779 --> 00:15:27,720
impacting many facets of the budget uh

217
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,139
predominantly in the areas of insurance

218
00:15:31,139 --> 00:15:32,760
I can tell you and you'll see it

219
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,500
throughout the document Insurance just

220
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:36,660
on the municipal side is just just under

221
00:15:36,660 --> 00:15:38,279
a hundred thousand that we're estimating

222
00:15:38,279 --> 00:15:41,000
a 10 increase in insurance

223
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,500
the other inflationary factors will be

224
00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:45,120
predominantly within the Public Works

225
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,519
sector of the budget for things like

226
00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:51,300
sand and salt and Fuel and so on

227
00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:53,459
utilities of course we look at utilities

228
00:15:53,459 --> 00:15:55,139
every year if there's inflationary

229
00:15:55,139 --> 00:15:57,839
increases based on historical Trends we

230
00:15:57,839 --> 00:15:59,120
include that

231
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,740
and yes there would be they would be

232
00:16:01,740 --> 00:16:03,899
included in the 2023 budget

233
00:16:03,899 --> 00:16:06,060
Council or Community initiatives these

234
00:16:06,060 --> 00:16:08,579
would be items that Council has directed

235
00:16:08,579 --> 00:16:11,820
us to move forward with we have not

236
00:16:11,820 --> 00:16:14,339
included anything at this time but we do

237
00:16:14,339 --> 00:16:16,079
know that the Strategic plan that will

238
00:16:16,079 --> 00:16:18,779
be coming forward in 2023 may have a

239
00:16:18,779 --> 00:16:20,639
budgetary impact so we'll be looking at

240
00:16:20,639 --> 00:16:21,899
that

241
00:16:21,899 --> 00:16:24,240
fees and charges

242
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,220
every year each department does look at

243
00:16:26,220 --> 00:16:27,600
the fees and charges within their area

244
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,940
of service and identifies where they

245
00:16:29,940 --> 00:16:31,800
have the ability to increase those fees

246
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,560
and we have done that in several of the

247
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:35,880
Department's particular planning and

248
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,320
you'll see that as we drill down into

249
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:43,249
the budget document a little further

250
00:16:43,259 --> 00:16:44,940
so the next slide really is just an

251
00:16:44,940 --> 00:16:46,800
overview of the gross revenues and

252
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,420
expenditures so you can see year over

253
00:16:48,420 --> 00:16:49,980
year the gross expenditures have

254
00:16:49,980 --> 00:16:52,980
increased by 11 million 431 gross

255
00:16:52,980 --> 00:16:57,240
expenditures are 38 million 766 259. the

256
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,579
gross non-tax revenue which consists of

257
00:16:59,579 --> 00:17:01,620
fees charges grants reserves and

258
00:17:01,620 --> 00:17:03,959
financing has also increased to help

259
00:17:03,959 --> 00:17:05,579
offset some of those expenditure

260
00:17:05,579 --> 00:17:09,299
increases overall increasing uh non-tax

261
00:17:09,299 --> 00:17:12,780
Revenue by 10 million 913 242 and of

262
00:17:12,780 --> 00:17:15,299
course the the taxation is the balance

263
00:17:15,299 --> 00:17:17,819
of the funding that has to finance the

264
00:17:17,819 --> 00:17:19,919
rest of the gross expenditures and we

265
00:17:19,919 --> 00:17:22,020
are looking at a 3.52 percent increase

266
00:17:22,020 --> 00:17:28,429
in the tax levy at 15 million 249 323.

267
00:17:28,439 --> 00:17:32,940
so overall 517 916 is what we're seeking

268
00:17:32,940 --> 00:17:37,130
to increase the levy by in 2023.

269
00:17:37,140 --> 00:17:40,740
so we've taken that gross Slide the

270
00:17:40,740 --> 00:17:42,120
previous slide and we've broken it down

271
00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:43,860
into the three categories that we spoke

272
00:17:43,860 --> 00:17:46,620
to earlier in the presentation and you

273
00:17:46,620 --> 00:17:50,640
can see how taxation my I always go to

274
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,140
the far right because that's the most

275
00:17:52,140 --> 00:17:54,539
important column which is the Taxation

276
00:17:54,539 --> 00:17:57,840
and despite all of the other increases

277
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,179
in expenditures and other sources of

278
00:18:00,179 --> 00:18:03,240
revenue bottom line is what is taxation

279
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:04,919
what is the impact to the tax every

280
00:18:04,919 --> 00:18:06,980
requirement in the upcoming year so

281
00:18:06,980 --> 00:18:09,179
forgive me if I keep going to the far

282
00:18:09,179 --> 00:18:11,039
right and talking about that but it's it

283
00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:13,980
is our primary focus so you can see that

284
00:18:13,980 --> 00:18:16,860
in 2023 we're proposing that the the

285
00:18:16,860 --> 00:18:19,200
impact to taxation is predominantly in

286
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,720
the operating side of the budget for the

287
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,000
for the factors that we've talked about

288
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,460
earlier

289
00:18:26,460 --> 00:18:28,860
we do have an increase in our transfers

290
00:18:28,860 --> 00:18:30,000
to reserves and we're going to talk

291
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,620
about that departmentally as to what's

292
00:18:31,620 --> 00:18:33,179
driving those factors

293
00:18:33,179 --> 00:18:35,039
and of course Capital we're sort of

294
00:18:35,039 --> 00:18:36,539
staying the course there is a slight

295
00:18:36,539 --> 00:18:39,419
decrease from a taxation support uh

296
00:18:39,419 --> 00:18:42,299
component in the capital budget overall

297
00:18:42,299 --> 00:18:45,820
again it's 517 916 that we're seeking

298
00:18:45,820 --> 00:18:47,640
[Applause]

299
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,620
and again we're just drilling down a

300
00:18:49,620 --> 00:18:51,120
little bit further so that you can see

301
00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:53,580
the operating and transfers in capital

302
00:18:53,580 --> 00:18:56,100
that taxation tax supported budget

303
00:18:56,100 --> 00:18:58,980
categories and how much of that is in

304
00:18:58,980 --> 00:19:00,780
the pie chart there are 81 percent of

305
00:19:00,780 --> 00:19:03,360
the tax levy requirement is dedicated

306
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:06,360
for operating 7.4 percent for transfers

307
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:09,240
and of course capital is 11.5 percent of

308
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:14,330
the tax levy requirement

309
00:19:14,340 --> 00:19:17,820
next slide that's okay and we just

310
00:19:17,820 --> 00:19:19,980
wanted to depict uh sort of a history of

311
00:19:19,980 --> 00:19:22,320
of what you just saw and and you can see

312
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,120
very clearly that operating is the

313
00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:26,160
primary uh driver in the taxation

314
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:27,559
component

315
00:19:27,559 --> 00:19:30,419
transfers and capital we try to keep

316
00:19:30,419 --> 00:19:33,059
those as level as possible but of course

317
00:19:33,059 --> 00:19:34,620
there are years when we can't do that

318
00:19:34,620 --> 00:19:36,840
but you can see historically that they

319
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,400
remain the same

320
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:44,150
for the most part

321
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,440
so we've summarized on the next slide on

322
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,679
slide 10 for you some of the changes in

323
00:19:49,679 --> 00:19:51,360
broadcast categories being wages

324
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:53,640
benefits materials and supplies Contract

325
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,100
Services rents and financial expenses

326
00:19:56,100 --> 00:19:57,539
and then grants and agreements or

327
00:19:57,539 --> 00:19:59,160
requisitions external to the

328
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,419
municipality

329
00:20:00,419 --> 00:20:03,120
and debt payments total operating

330
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:06,120
expenses are shown there so you can see

331
00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:07,799
very clearly where some of those again

332
00:20:07,799 --> 00:20:09,960
wages and benefits

333
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,909
um I'm going to jump to the next slide

334
00:20:13,919 --> 00:20:15,900
wages and benefits again we talk about

335
00:20:15,900 --> 00:20:18,000
the cost of living increase in the

336
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,860
Collective Agreement there are some job

337
00:20:19,860 --> 00:20:21,679
rate changes

338
00:20:21,679 --> 00:20:23,940
where employees are moving throughout

339
00:20:23,940 --> 00:20:26,340
various grids within the organization

340
00:20:26,340 --> 00:20:29,039
we have the increase of 1.5 FTE

341
00:20:29,039 --> 00:20:30,780
allocated within Parks corporate

342
00:20:30,780 --> 00:20:32,640
facilities and cemeteries

343
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,820
as mentioned in the benefit area of the

344
00:20:35,820 --> 00:20:36,960
budget

345
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,820
the Industrial Alliance benefits

346
00:20:38,820 --> 00:20:42,000
increased overall by 7.4 percent and we

347
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,799
do have other mandatory benefit

348
00:20:43,799 --> 00:20:46,140
expenditures that are increasing such as

349
00:20:46,140 --> 00:20:49,260
CPP and EI but there's also the factor

350
00:20:49,260 --> 00:20:51,000
of omers even though the rates for

351
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,919
omer's Pension Plan did not increase as

352
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:55,080
salaries change that employer expense

353
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,020
portion does increase overall

354
00:20:58,020 --> 00:20:59,940
in the category of materials and

355
00:20:59,940 --> 00:21:02,039
supplies overall we have a decrease and

356
00:21:02,039 --> 00:21:03,780
that is predominantly due to the

357
00:21:03,780 --> 00:21:07,500
election expense removed in 2023 in the

358
00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:10,260
year of an election we see that gross

359
00:21:10,260 --> 00:21:12,299
expense coming in and then each year

360
00:21:12,299 --> 00:21:14,640
thereafter we set aside funds into a

361
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,400
reserve and so it's removed in 2023

362
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,620
because the election will have occurred

363
00:21:19,620 --> 00:21:22,200
we have road maintenance materials loose

364
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,080
top granulars and salt and we've made

365
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,539
some changes in the training and courses

366
00:21:27,539 --> 00:21:30,559
overall for the fire department

367
00:21:30,559 --> 00:21:32,940
contracted Services again we're talking

368
00:21:32,940 --> 00:21:34,679
about insurance that gross expense

369
00:21:34,679 --> 00:21:37,200
overall of just under a hundred thousand

370
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,419
for insurance expense

371
00:21:39,419 --> 00:21:41,360
we have the gross expense of various

372
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:44,159
studies and consulting services and

373
00:21:44,159 --> 00:21:45,539
we'll talk about those a lot of those

374
00:21:45,539 --> 00:21:47,520
are in the planning area

375
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,039
and these will be offset by reserves we

376
00:21:50,039 --> 00:21:51,900
also have the contract for the opp that

377
00:21:51,900 --> 00:21:54,000
we'll talk about in some of the slides

378
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,080
the rents and financial expenses we have

379
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,640
there's a reduction within the Public

380
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,520
Works budget for items within that

381
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,320
category and we have some changes to

382
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:05,700
bank charges for electronic payment

383
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:07,200
services and those are just based on

384
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,940
usage

385
00:22:08,940 --> 00:22:11,940
and of course the the decrease within

386
00:22:11,940 --> 00:22:15,120
the debt component we are we have

387
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:17,640
finalized the debt payment for the

388
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,919
Hastings field house we had partial in

389
00:22:19,919 --> 00:22:23,159
2022 and 100 percent of the

390
00:22:23,159 --> 00:22:24,659
what would have been the former debt

391
00:22:24,659 --> 00:22:26,100
payment is now being transferred to a

392
00:22:26,100 --> 00:22:27,600
reserve to be set aside for future

393
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,360
capital projects and Recreation

394
00:22:30,360 --> 00:22:33,659
we do we have introduced a new line item

395
00:22:33,659 --> 00:22:35,340
as outlined in a previous staff report

396
00:22:35,340 --> 00:22:36,780
for the nap and Island Bridge for

397
00:22:36,780 --> 00:22:38,159
council's consideration as well but

398
00:22:38,159 --> 00:22:39,720
overall there's a decrease in the debt

399
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:48,289
payments for a total of the 849 578.

400
00:22:48,299 --> 00:22:50,880
on the revenue side from an operating

401
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,159
perspective we have outlined again for

402
00:22:53,159 --> 00:22:54,900
Council where we're seeing some of those

403
00:22:54,900 --> 00:22:57,059
increases to try to offset some of the

404
00:22:57,059 --> 00:23:00,720
expense increases we have a minor change

405
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,240
in the supplementary tax and pil which

406
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,340
is payment in lieu of taxes those would

407
00:23:05,340 --> 00:23:07,320
be for properties such as the LCBO or

408
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,059
Canada Post Corporation where they have

409
00:23:09,059 --> 00:23:11,460
special tax class and we Bill those

410
00:23:11,460 --> 00:23:14,539
separate from regular property taxation

411
00:23:14,539 --> 00:23:17,400
user fees

412
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,100
we are it does appear that we're

413
00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:22,380
decreasing our user fees but we are not

414
00:23:22,380 --> 00:23:24,659
overall what I'd like to just mention

415
00:23:24,659 --> 00:23:27,900
that we Revisited uh the area of the

416
00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:29,520
development charges which has been

417
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,679
typically and historically included in

418
00:23:31,679 --> 00:23:33,720
the budget as a revenue line item and an

419
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,220
expense line item

420
00:23:35,220 --> 00:23:37,380
having no impact whatsoever on Taxation

421
00:23:37,380 --> 00:23:39,299
and we've opted to remove those two line

422
00:23:39,299 --> 00:23:41,100
items so that we are not overstating

423
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:44,039
gross revenues and expenses

424
00:23:44,039 --> 00:23:46,679
so overall when you look at the gross

425
00:23:46,679 --> 00:23:48,000
number it looks like we're decreasing

426
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,980
that category but in fact it's really

427
00:23:49,980 --> 00:23:51,659
just that shift

428
00:23:51,659 --> 00:23:53,520
finds penalties and investment

429
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,860
investment income we are seeing a shift

430
00:23:55,860 --> 00:23:57,419
in the interest rate so we have

431
00:23:57,419 --> 00:24:00,360
increased our estimate for interests

432
00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:03,179
that will be earned on our bank account

433
00:24:03,179 --> 00:24:05,580
um council is probably aware of the

434
00:24:05,580 --> 00:24:08,600
interest rates being almost

435
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,980
zero for the last couple of years and

436
00:24:10,980 --> 00:24:12,419
we're starting to see that gradual

437
00:24:12,419 --> 00:24:16,140
incline so we've estimated an additional

438
00:24:16,140 --> 00:24:18,720
amount in the budget for that licenses

439
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,820
and permits including marriage or burn

440
00:24:20,820 --> 00:24:22,679
permits Lottery licensing billing

441
00:24:22,679 --> 00:24:25,760
permits and entrance permits increasing

442
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,799
rentals we are increasing the revenue on

443
00:24:28,799 --> 00:24:31,140
that for facility rentals and other

444
00:24:31,140 --> 00:24:33,860
things like arenas

445
00:24:33,860 --> 00:24:36,000
miscellaneous we have small increase

446
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,820
there for miscellaneous revenue for

447
00:24:38,820 --> 00:24:42,419
winter control costs for the county and

448
00:24:42,419 --> 00:24:44,820
some an internal adjustment for I.T

449
00:24:44,820 --> 00:24:49,610
services that is provided to the library

450
00:24:49,620 --> 00:24:51,780
on the grant side we are increasing the

451
00:24:51,780 --> 00:24:54,299
Ontario Municipal partnership Grant we

452
00:24:54,299 --> 00:24:56,220
got confirmation that that Grant did

453
00:24:56,220 --> 00:24:59,280
increase by 119 000.

454
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:00,240
um

455
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,220
that by a decrease in our budget line

456
00:25:02,220 --> 00:25:04,080
item for the safe restart which was

457
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,299
phase two in the last the last

458
00:25:06,299 --> 00:25:08,039
installment of that

459
00:25:08,039 --> 00:25:11,539
for pandemic related purposes

460
00:25:11,539 --> 00:25:15,960
reserves we are increasing our um

461
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,960
increase in the transfer from Reserve to

462
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,880
offset some of the policing costs and we

463
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,740
have of course the various studies that

464
00:25:22,740 --> 00:25:24,419
I mentioned and we're drawing down from

465
00:25:24,419 --> 00:25:26,400
the reserves to fund some of those

466
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:31,549
studies

467
00:25:31,559 --> 00:25:35,450
can just go to the next one

468
00:25:35,460 --> 00:25:37,380
thank you

469
00:25:37,380 --> 00:25:40,740
so we're now into the each departmental

470
00:25:40,740 --> 00:25:43,799
budget and so just for council's

471
00:25:43,799 --> 00:25:45,539
reference you're going to see again

472
00:25:45,539 --> 00:25:47,340
those three main categories operating

473
00:25:47,340 --> 00:25:50,100
transfers and capital on that same page

474
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:52,080
you will see a summary by the broad

475
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,179
class category what is driving the

476
00:25:54,179 --> 00:25:57,900
change which is only operating on page

477
00:25:57,900 --> 00:26:00,059
two that pertains to that you'll see any

478
00:26:00,059 --> 00:26:02,100
details related to transfers and or

479
00:26:02,100 --> 00:26:03,900
Capital if it pertains to that

480
00:26:03,900 --> 00:26:06,000
particular area of service and we've

481
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,860
outlined for you any of the reasons

482
00:26:07,860 --> 00:26:09,659
where there are changes and and what's

483
00:26:09,659 --> 00:26:12,419
driving those changes

484
00:26:12,419 --> 00:26:14,340
um and at this point I will probably

485
00:26:14,340 --> 00:26:17,220
turn to each department head to speak to

486
00:26:17,220 --> 00:26:19,140
the area of service that is up on the

487
00:26:19,140 --> 00:26:20,460
screen

488
00:26:20,460 --> 00:26:23,940
um so just bear with us as we do that

489
00:26:23,940 --> 00:26:26,880
so first of all we have a council and of

490
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,620
course the wages and benefits component

491
00:26:28,620 --> 00:26:30,059
we do have a

492
00:26:30,059 --> 00:26:32,400
we follow the same premise if we have

493
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,860
colab 1.75 for employees in the

494
00:26:34,860 --> 00:26:36,720
Collective Agreement that flows through

495
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,059
the organization and does apply to

496
00:26:39,059 --> 00:26:40,260
council

497
00:26:40,260 --> 00:26:43,679
so there is an increase there and there

498
00:26:43,679 --> 00:26:45,659
is another benefit component as well

499
00:26:45,659 --> 00:26:48,000
that has shifted that slightly where

500
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,919
there are a couple of different members

501
00:26:49,919 --> 00:26:51,600
of council that are eligible to receive

502
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,400
benefit coverage so we're seeing that

503
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,919
increase there

504
00:26:55,919 --> 00:26:58,559
um again the materials and supplies we

505
00:26:58,559 --> 00:27:00,840
have decreased mileage and a slightly

506
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,299
adjusted training

507
00:27:02,299 --> 00:27:05,640
the general supplies and office General

508
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,440
supplies we've based those on actuals

509
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,179
and we've removed the election expense

510
00:27:09,179 --> 00:27:11,700
as as we mentioned earlier

511
00:27:11,700 --> 00:27:13,980
telephone and insurance expenses have

512
00:27:13,980 --> 00:27:16,799
increased under contracted services and

513
00:27:16,799 --> 00:27:18,900
there's just a minor adjustment for the

514
00:27:18,900 --> 00:27:22,080
electron or voter database

515
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,299
and then as far as the transfers to

516
00:27:24,299 --> 00:27:26,820
reserve again we start planning for the

517
00:27:26,820 --> 00:27:29,279
next election and we do that through a

518
00:27:29,279 --> 00:27:31,880
transfer to reserve and we have

519
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,679
allocated ten thousand dollars for that

520
00:27:34,679 --> 00:27:37,260
um for the four-year period

521
00:27:37,260 --> 00:27:38,940
Doug do you have anything further that

522
00:27:38,940 --> 00:27:41,400
you'd like to add to that

523
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,900
I think that covers most of it we will

524
00:27:45,900 --> 00:27:49,620
be assessing the transfer to reserve for

525
00:27:49,620 --> 00:27:53,520
the election in future years to ensure

526
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,440
that we have appropriate funds available

527
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:02,760
based on this year's election so we're

528
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:03,840
just working through all the final

529
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:08,029
invoices on that

530
00:28:08,039 --> 00:28:09,419
thank you

531
00:28:09,419 --> 00:28:12,299
um and if if Council has any questions

532
00:28:12,299 --> 00:28:15,840
on anything if you just uh hit your uh

533
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,820
microphone button you'll come up on the

534
00:28:17,820 --> 00:28:19,559
Queue and I'll

535
00:28:19,559 --> 00:28:21,240
let you come through and ask a question

536
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:22,260
so

537
00:28:22,260 --> 00:28:27,409
just as we go you can do that

538
00:28:27,419 --> 00:28:30,240
so the next slide uh we have an a unique

539
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,340
slide for the Ontario Municipal

540
00:28:32,340 --> 00:28:34,320
partnership fund this is an

541
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:35,940
unconditional Grant from the province of

542
00:28:35,940 --> 00:28:39,299
Ontario and it um it's calculated using

543
00:28:39,299 --> 00:28:41,820
various Community fiscal indicators They

544
00:28:41,820 --> 00:28:44,400
do change and um

545
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,620
I wanted to note for council's benefit

546
00:28:46,620 --> 00:28:50,100
that the municipality had maintained the

547
00:28:50,100 --> 00:28:52,380
same level of ompf Revenue within the

548
00:28:52,380 --> 00:28:53,640
budget

549
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,220
um in that we had in 2018 we did that

550
00:28:56,220 --> 00:28:59,880
through the period of 2019 to 2021 and

551
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,960
then in 2022 we saw that ompf stabilized

552
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,580
and it actually fell a little bit below

553
00:29:05,580 --> 00:29:07,500
the 2018 level

554
00:29:07,500 --> 00:29:09,480
and the reason I'm mentioning it to you

555
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,640
is because when we stabilized it in 2018

556
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,159
what it allowed us to do was any any

557
00:29:14,159 --> 00:29:15,960
Revenue that was in over and above the

558
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,539
2018 level we set those funds aside and

559
00:29:18,539 --> 00:29:21,240
we we said that we would complete

560
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,399
special projects and just for benefit we

561
00:29:23,399 --> 00:29:26,520
had in 2019 we we had additional gravel

562
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,020
resurfacing that we were able to

563
00:29:28,020 --> 00:29:31,500
accomplish for about 51 000 in 2020 we

564
00:29:31,500 --> 00:29:33,539
did uh thirty four thousand dollars was

565
00:29:33,539 --> 00:29:36,240
attributed to the marina docks

566
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,840
and we did in 2021 we had the parking

567
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,140
lot a partnership with the Percy

568
00:29:42,140 --> 00:29:44,640
Agricultural Society as well

569
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,220
and then in 2022 we had some funds left

570
00:29:47,220 --> 00:29:49,140
over to assist us with the office

571
00:29:49,140 --> 00:29:51,659
renovation so I just want to note it

572
00:29:51,659 --> 00:29:54,360
that we have brought 100 of the ompf

573
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,700
revenue into the 2023 budget and it's

574
00:29:56,700 --> 00:30:00,059
it's there so if Council opted to hold

575
00:30:00,059 --> 00:30:02,760
the line on a different amount then

576
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,559
um you would have to specify specific

577
00:30:04,559 --> 00:30:06,559
projects that you would like to to

578
00:30:06,559 --> 00:30:09,299
dedicate to the projects otherwise 100

579
00:30:09,299 --> 00:30:11,760
of this revenue is is offsetting the tax

580
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,930
levy requirement

581
00:30:14,940 --> 00:30:17,520
foreign

582
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,220
so the next slide deals with everything

583
00:30:20,220 --> 00:30:23,640
except ompf within the admin section of

584
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,860
the budget which covers the cao's office

585
00:30:25,860 --> 00:30:27,539
clerk's office Finance Information

586
00:30:27,539 --> 00:30:29,520
Technology health and safety and human

587
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,559
resources and the component of corporate

588
00:30:31,559 --> 00:30:33,440
facilities

589
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,419
Just for council's information of course

590
00:30:36,419 --> 00:30:38,580
I'm going to keep reiterating it cost of

591
00:30:38,580 --> 00:30:40,919
living and gridstep movement benefit

592
00:30:40,919 --> 00:30:44,580
carrier costs are the main reasons for

593
00:30:44,580 --> 00:30:47,640
the costs within wages and benefits

594
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,620
we have made some minor adjustments on

595
00:30:49,620 --> 00:30:51,059
the actuals for training and mileage

596
00:30:51,059 --> 00:30:54,779
again just trying to keep it uh in line

597
00:30:54,779 --> 00:30:57,600
and try to reduce some of the expenses

598
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,179
and of course we have insurance

599
00:30:59,179 --> 00:31:02,399
Municipal facility maintenance costs and

600
00:31:02,399 --> 00:31:06,179
utilities we've adjusted those

601
00:31:06,179 --> 00:31:09,299
Bank charges we spoke to that earlier we

602
00:31:09,299 --> 00:31:11,820
have increased the bank charges there

603
00:31:11,820 --> 00:31:13,760
um

604
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,559
Bank charges sorry Ransom Financial we

605
00:31:16,559 --> 00:31:20,220
have actually uh yeah sorry

606
00:31:20,220 --> 00:31:23,580
so the supplementary we have sorry I'm

607
00:31:23,580 --> 00:31:24,600
going to go back to the grants

608
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,279
agreements we remove the accessibility

609
00:31:26,279 --> 00:31:28,860
CIP allocation based on some staff

610
00:31:28,860 --> 00:31:30,240
reports that we brought forward in

611
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,940
November that also falls within the

612
00:31:32,940 --> 00:31:35,460
administration department we have other

613
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:38,039
tax now on the revenue side of it we

614
00:31:38,039 --> 00:31:39,539
have the supplementary and omitted which

615
00:31:39,539 --> 00:31:41,159
we talked about we have some minor

616
00:31:41,159 --> 00:31:42,960
changes to the payment and low Revenue

617
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,620
based on actuals and we have a shift

618
00:31:46,620 --> 00:31:49,740
from the safe restart grant that the

619
00:31:49,740 --> 00:31:51,659
provincial government provided to us in

620
00:31:51,659 --> 00:31:53,039
2022

621
00:31:53,039 --> 00:31:55,679
so we've removed that and we have

622
00:31:55,679 --> 00:31:57,840
increased the investment income and

623
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,580
adjusted some corporate facility user

624
00:31:59,580 --> 00:32:01,799
fees

625
00:32:01,799 --> 00:32:05,340
transfers to reserves remain uh almost

626
00:32:05,340 --> 00:32:08,880
the same as they were in 2022 we have a

627
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,220
working Reserve that was an initiative

628
00:32:11,220 --> 00:32:13,620
of the Auditors a number of years ago

629
00:32:13,620 --> 00:32:16,100
and we've maintained that in the budget

630
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:19,500
and we have a line item there noted as

631
00:32:19,500 --> 00:32:21,480
Council initiatives again just for

632
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,179
history for members of council when the

633
00:32:24,179 --> 00:32:28,020
ompf funds I'm going to say circuit 2015

634
00:32:28,020 --> 00:32:30,539
and 16 there was some uncertainty as to

635
00:32:30,539 --> 00:32:34,080
whether or not ompf that Grant would

636
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,539
start to drop off and at that time

637
00:32:36,539 --> 00:32:38,460
Council had

638
00:32:38,460 --> 00:32:40,919
asked us to allocate a certain amount of

639
00:32:40,919 --> 00:32:43,080
money that for special projects or

640
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:44,880
Council initiatives that might come up

641
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,980
during the year and so we've maintained

642
00:32:46,980 --> 00:32:48,659
that as a transfer to reserve in the

643
00:32:48,659 --> 00:32:50,700
budget so that remains available to

644
00:32:50,700 --> 00:32:53,580
council should some project come up or

645
00:32:53,580 --> 00:32:55,559
it is discretionary and can be removed

646
00:32:55,559 --> 00:32:57,899
if Council so chooses to do

647
00:32:57,899 --> 00:32:59,640
we typically transfer the corporate

648
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,440
facilities Capital use fees to the

649
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:02,760
reserve funds

650
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,039
and we have a dedicated facilities

651
00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:07,200
maintenance Reserve that we set aside

652
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:08,640
eighty thousand dollars and those are

653
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,279
just for the corporate facilities that

654
00:33:11,279 --> 00:33:13,919
are not major ones like the Arenas or

655
00:33:13,919 --> 00:33:15,539
Public Works facilities these are other

656
00:33:15,539 --> 00:33:17,159
corporate facilities like the municipal

657
00:33:17,159 --> 00:33:19,080
office or um

658
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,799
the various Hastings Civic Center Etc

659
00:33:22,799 --> 00:33:24,960
on the capital side we have an annual

660
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,700
allocation we have decreased that year

661
00:33:26,700 --> 00:33:30,299
over year we have our computer hardware

662
00:33:30,299 --> 00:33:32,880
budget line item it was at 90 000 in

663
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,460
2022 and we've reduced that to 60 000

664
00:33:35,460 --> 00:33:36,600
because we do feel that we have

665
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:40,200
sufficient funds in the reserve

666
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:41,940
the corporate budget being an

667
00:33:41,940 --> 00:33:44,460
Administration houses all of the costs

668
00:33:44,460 --> 00:33:48,179
related to the corporate I.T initiatives

669
00:33:48,179 --> 00:33:50,460
so if we're purchasing a computer

670
00:33:50,460 --> 00:33:52,980
hardware for other departments it runs

671
00:33:52,980 --> 00:33:55,320
all through the corporate Department of

672
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,600
administration

673
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,100
um we are budgeting funds for the

674
00:33:59,100 --> 00:34:01,919
telephone system upgrades and

675
00:34:01,919 --> 00:34:03,659
um that's really an initiative I believe

676
00:34:03,659 --> 00:34:06,899
as for to move to a voice over IP system

677
00:34:06,899 --> 00:34:09,540
and we do have the HR and payroll

678
00:34:09,540 --> 00:34:12,359
software that we would like to um look

679
00:34:12,359 --> 00:34:15,179
to as part of our work plan in 2023 to

680
00:34:15,179 --> 00:34:16,740
get something that's slightly more

681
00:34:16,740 --> 00:34:18,419
efficient and

682
00:34:18,419 --> 00:34:23,570
user friendly for all of the employees

683
00:34:23,580 --> 00:34:25,379
at this time I'll ask if Doug has

684
00:34:25,379 --> 00:34:27,419
anything further that he'd like to add

685
00:34:27,419 --> 00:34:30,419
okay the deputy mayor your worship if I

686
00:34:30,419 --> 00:34:34,399
may before we go to the deputy mayor

687
00:34:34,399 --> 00:34:37,020
the telephone system upgrade was

688
00:34:37,020 --> 00:34:40,440
identified in the 2022 budget we just

689
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,440
weren't able to move forward with it

690
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,119
what was identified at that time and

691
00:34:45,119 --> 00:34:48,300
still is the case is we will be looking

692
00:34:48,300 --> 00:34:52,619
at a Voiceover IP telephone system with

693
00:34:52,619 --> 00:34:55,080
current technologies that will allow for

694
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,460
enhanced remote access

695
00:34:58,460 --> 00:35:00,960
standard things like

696
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,839
Moss standard now

697
00:35:03,839 --> 00:35:08,420
voicemail to email and those ensure that

698
00:35:08,420 --> 00:35:12,119
individuals are more easily able to

699
00:35:12,119 --> 00:35:15,119
access into our phone system over the

700
00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:20,150
current system

701
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,599
thank you worship two quick questions

702
00:35:23,599 --> 00:35:26,700
uh the first one is the council

703
00:35:26,700 --> 00:35:29,040
initiative line so that fifty thousand

704
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,680
dollars that's going into Reserve that

705
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,560
would go back to page five where Council

706
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,920
Community initiatives right now we have

707
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:41,400
uh none for the 2023 but that's where we

708
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,099
draw if anything arises within the year

709
00:35:44,099 --> 00:35:45,960
that Reserve is where we draw from that

710
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,839
for those County or sorry those Council

711
00:35:48,839 --> 00:35:50,820
initiatives

712
00:35:50,820 --> 00:35:53,820
through you you worship yes we um we

713
00:35:53,820 --> 00:35:55,560
didn't identify it as a new initiative

714
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:56,940
because it's been in the budget for a

715
00:35:56,940 --> 00:35:58,560
number of years but yes that is where

716
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,060
you would go to as the general Reserve

717
00:36:00,060 --> 00:36:01,440
is where those funds are transferred to

718
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,260
on an annual basis

719
00:36:04,260 --> 00:36:07,020
okay uh next question is the payroll

720
00:36:07,020 --> 00:36:10,500
software is this is new software this is

721
00:36:10,500 --> 00:36:13,140
an upgrade it's correct

722
00:36:13,140 --> 00:36:14,640
yes this is

723
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,700
this is a uh we envision a a slightly

724
00:36:17,700 --> 00:36:20,520
different system we have um currently

725
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,200
some issues with reuse different

726
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,619
databases to capture time and we we have

727
00:36:25,619 --> 00:36:27,000
through the organization a number of

728
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,460
challenges when it comes to requesting

729
00:36:29,460 --> 00:36:31,920
time off and the methodology that's used

730
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,200
throughout various departments so we

731
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:35,880
want to streamline that process so that

732
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,160
it's a whatever software we get it's

733
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,380
user friendly to the employee as well as

734
00:36:40,380 --> 00:36:42,720
the employer and the approval process so

735
00:36:42,720 --> 00:36:44,520
it just kind of goes through all the

736
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,079
approval processes and then comes back

737
00:36:46,079 --> 00:36:48,240
over into the payroll system so it would

738
00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:51,420
be integrated with our existing software

739
00:36:51,420 --> 00:36:53,940
So currently we have

740
00:36:53,940 --> 00:36:56,160
and correct me if I'm wrong which you

741
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:56,960
will

742
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:01,440
three different payroll systems we have

743
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,720
sort of the municipal system we have uh

744
00:37:03,720 --> 00:37:05,640
the fire department which has a unique

745
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:10,370
payroll system we have the library

746
00:37:10,380 --> 00:37:13,920
yes we well we have one payroll system

747
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,780
that processes payroll we have various

748
00:37:15,780 --> 00:37:18,320
mechanisms under which

749
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,339
remuneration is calculated the fire

750
00:37:20,339 --> 00:37:22,920
department has a unique uh means and

751
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:24,720
ways of calculating the remuneration for

752
00:37:24,720 --> 00:37:27,320
the volunteer firefighters the library

753
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,940
is processed through the municipal

754
00:37:29,940 --> 00:37:32,040
payroll software but again it's that

755
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:33,960
mechanism in which we're capturing the

756
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,780
timesheet information it's very in the

757
00:37:36,780 --> 00:37:38,579
pandemic we adopted it was previously

758
00:37:38,579 --> 00:37:41,220
all paper based and then we created some

759
00:37:41,220 --> 00:37:43,560
makeshift forms to allow us to do it

760
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,119
electronically

761
00:37:45,119 --> 00:37:47,540
but we are still experiencing a lot of

762
00:37:47,540 --> 00:37:49,800
challenges with that because of the

763
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,480
request for time off and so on there's

764
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,820
just uh there's just a multitude of ways

765
00:37:53,820 --> 00:37:55,200
that those requests are coming in and

766
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,240
it's very hard to manage at this point

767
00:37:57,240 --> 00:37:59,099
in time because again it's a lot of it

768
00:37:59,099 --> 00:38:01,980
is paper-based and so we want to get all

769
00:38:01,980 --> 00:38:06,180
of those in one system so you do you see

770
00:38:06,180 --> 00:38:08,960
these this upgrade as being able to pull

771
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,460
efficiencies when when all of those

772
00:38:11,460 --> 00:38:13,560
systems are pulled into the into the

773
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:14,640
payroll

774
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,020
I'm guessing

775
00:38:16,020 --> 00:38:18,180
personally I believe there would be a

776
00:38:18,180 --> 00:38:19,859
many efficiencies and I I don't want to

777
00:38:19,859 --> 00:38:21,240
speak on behalf of my colleagues but I

778
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:22,440
do know that there's you know they're

779
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,480
facing some serious challenges with uh

780
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,579
you know timely approvals of time off

781
00:38:26,579 --> 00:38:29,099
and as well not just for staff on the

782
00:38:29,099 --> 00:38:30,839
management side but staff working in the

783
00:38:30,839 --> 00:38:33,240
field this would be again I Envision and

784
00:38:33,240 --> 00:38:35,099
I I don't know what that solution is

785
00:38:35,099 --> 00:38:37,440
going to be but in my mind it's it's

786
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,960
very user friendly instead of a numeric

787
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,880
way of trying to capture the activity

788
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,800
out in the field everything that

789
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,079
everyone does is captured at at the time

790
00:38:46,079 --> 00:38:47,940
that they do the activity

791
00:38:47,940 --> 00:38:50,760
and right now that is a numeric code we

792
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,920
envision something slightly more user

793
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:54,359
friendly to the employee where they can

794
00:38:54,359 --> 00:38:55,740
just tell us if they were cutting grass

795
00:38:55,740 --> 00:38:56,940
they were driving a truck they were

796
00:38:56,940 --> 00:38:58,140
doing this without having to have that

797
00:38:58,140 --> 00:39:00,480
numeric component and then we can do it

798
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:01,920
in real time

799
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,320
and it's we do see it as a web-based

800
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,079
solution at some point

801
00:39:07,079 --> 00:39:15,430
sounds great thank you

802
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:19,020
so the next uh budget up we have is the

803
00:39:19,020 --> 00:39:21,300
fire department it includes fire and

804
00:39:21,300 --> 00:39:23,280
rescue emergency response fire safety

805
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:24,900
and education and Fire Prevention and

806
00:39:24,900 --> 00:39:26,040
inspection

807
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,200
from an operating point of view you can

808
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,800
see that we've sort of stayed status quo

809
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,859
and the area between the transfers and

810
00:39:34,859 --> 00:39:36,359
capital what we're trying to do this

811
00:39:36,359 --> 00:39:38,640
year is just stabilize that so the sum

812
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,560
total of what you're seeing in transfers

813
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,079
going in is simply being removed from

814
00:39:43,079 --> 00:39:45,900
the capital budget component until we

815
00:39:45,900 --> 00:39:47,700
can sort of have another look at what

816
00:39:47,700 --> 00:39:49,579
our Capital requirements are going to be

817
00:39:49,579 --> 00:39:51,780
following the community risk assessment

818
00:39:51,780 --> 00:39:53,339
and at this point I'm going to turn it

819
00:39:53,339 --> 00:39:55,619
over to our acting fire chief to comment

820
00:39:55,619 --> 00:39:58,380
further if you'd like

821
00:39:58,380 --> 00:40:04,750
foreign

822
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,320
yeah there's not a lot of changes uh we

823
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,540
added a little bit for uh Fuel and

824
00:40:09,540 --> 00:40:11,760
training those were the main things that

825
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,920
uh we increased and then we decreased a

826
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,480
few things that uh

827
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,220
try and balance it out so there isn't

828
00:40:17,220 --> 00:40:19,140
really a whole lot of change

829
00:40:19,140 --> 00:40:21,180
Dollar Wise to our

830
00:40:21,180 --> 00:40:24,000
budget for next year

831
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,940
any questions from Council

832
00:40:26,940 --> 00:40:30,109
deputy mayor

833
00:40:30,119 --> 00:40:33,000
thank you worship

834
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,200
um

835
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,599
to the deputy fire chief the slide and

836
00:40:36,599 --> 00:40:40,020
grass fire unit what's uh just curiosity

837
00:40:40,020 --> 00:40:44,569
really as to what that piece is

838
00:40:44,579 --> 00:40:46,859
it goes in the back of our um pickup

839
00:40:46,859 --> 00:40:48,900
trucks so it's our first response

840
00:40:48,900 --> 00:40:51,000
whenever we have some type of grass fire

841
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,000
or forest fire it's kind of a rapid unit

842
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,880
that gets there first uh the one that we

843
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,099
currently have is coming up on 20 years

844
00:40:59,099 --> 00:41:00,140
old

845
00:41:00,140 --> 00:41:02,640
just about time to start looking at the

846
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,870
replacement on it

847
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,220
and uh the three-quarter half ton truck

848
00:41:08,220 --> 00:41:10,380
is that a new is that a new vehicle

849
00:41:10,380 --> 00:41:12,500
adding to the fleet or is it replacing a

850
00:41:12,500 --> 00:41:15,420
current vehicle it'll be replacing a

851
00:41:15,420 --> 00:41:18,060
2004 unit out of uh station three and

852
00:41:18,060 --> 00:41:19,980
work with

853
00:41:19,980 --> 00:41:25,490
thank you

854
00:41:25,500 --> 00:41:28,859
Council Pope thank you your worship um

855
00:41:28,859 --> 00:41:31,140
uh the line item contracted Services

856
00:41:31,140 --> 00:41:32,400
what

857
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:36,900
makes up that amount do we Mr Jameson

858
00:41:36,900 --> 00:41:40,930
do we

859
00:41:40,940 --> 00:41:48,710
390 000.

860
00:41:48,720 --> 00:42:01,430
do we

861
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,480
three year worship by the contract and

862
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,820
services is the insurance equipment

863
00:42:05,820 --> 00:42:08,280
repairs Hydro

864
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:09,960
um

865
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,240
yeah

866
00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:21,170
okay all that information's in there

867
00:42:21,180 --> 00:42:24,910
thank you

868
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,660
so the next slide is dealing with the

869
00:42:27,660 --> 00:42:30,240
police budget this is the opp contract

870
00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:32,700
and Police Services Board

871
00:42:32,700 --> 00:42:33,900
um

872
00:42:33,900 --> 00:42:37,020
so the the main change here is that we

873
00:42:37,020 --> 00:42:39,839
have a contract that has increased and

874
00:42:39,839 --> 00:42:42,540
the base OPP contract has remained

875
00:42:42,540 --> 00:42:45,660
steady however the reconciliation for

876
00:42:45,660 --> 00:42:48,180
2021 which is there's a two-year leg for

877
00:42:48,180 --> 00:42:49,980
the reconciliation

878
00:42:49,980 --> 00:42:52,560
that reconciliation came in at an

879
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,780
additional 87

880
00:42:54,780 --> 00:42:57,720
000. so uh what we've done in this case

881
00:42:57,720 --> 00:43:00,300
is we have transferred from Reserve an

882
00:43:00,300 --> 00:43:01,880
amount of 65

883
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,099
521 dollars to partially offset that

884
00:43:05,099 --> 00:43:07,680
total policing contract cost we do have

885
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,900
a police Reserve we've had it for a

886
00:43:09,900 --> 00:43:12,119
number of years which we refer to as a

887
00:43:12,119 --> 00:43:14,339
stabilization Reserve to deal with these

888
00:43:14,339 --> 00:43:16,380
types of fluctuations these are ones

889
00:43:16,380 --> 00:43:19,319
that we cannot anticipate for members of

890
00:43:19,319 --> 00:43:21,540
council who are not aware the opp has a

891
00:43:21,540 --> 00:43:24,859
very complex billing calculation

892
00:43:24,859 --> 00:43:29,280
OPP billing model which um they created

893
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,220
probably back in um I'm going to say

894
00:43:32,220 --> 00:43:34,800
2014 2015 they revised their entire

895
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,960
model it's not something that we have an

896
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,540
opportunity to be able to change

897
00:43:39,540 --> 00:43:43,200
unfortunately but it does deal with

898
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,900
um three or rolling averages for various

899
00:43:45,900 --> 00:43:48,780
uh policing costs to try to mitigate

900
00:43:48,780 --> 00:43:51,119
these huge fluctuations but it's the

901
00:43:51,119 --> 00:43:53,040
reconciliation that we always are not

902
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,319
sure about from one year to the next so

903
00:43:55,319 --> 00:43:57,839
again we've tried to mitigate that

904
00:43:57,839 --> 00:44:01,020
increase net taxation impact is still 20

905
00:44:01,020 --> 00:44:02,640
000 Council does have the option to draw

906
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,980
further down from that Reserve if they

907
00:44:04,980 --> 00:44:07,920
so choose going into the 2023 budget to

908
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,680
mitigate that tax impact

909
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,619
thank you Deputy uh

910
00:44:13,619 --> 00:44:15,780
Metcalf

911
00:44:15,780 --> 00:44:17,579
thank you worship

912
00:44:17,579 --> 00:44:19,500
I'm just uh I guess the question is

913
00:44:19,500 --> 00:44:24,780
we're transferring from Reserve 65 500

914
00:44:24,780 --> 00:44:26,400
um this year

915
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,680
uh

916
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:31,440
don't believe last year we

917
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,839
pulled any but we didn't put any into

918
00:44:33,839 --> 00:44:35,400
reserves last year or don't have any

919
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,500
going into Reserves

920
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:40,500
this year if the opp contract continues

921
00:44:40,500 --> 00:44:42,180
to change and like you said we don't

922
00:44:42,180 --> 00:44:44,040
really have a whole lot of

923
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:47,099
say in the calculation as to how how

924
00:44:47,099 --> 00:44:49,859
they build that out what

925
00:44:49,859 --> 00:44:52,380
what do we see

926
00:44:52,380 --> 00:44:54,180
in the future other than pulling from

927
00:44:54,180 --> 00:44:57,540
the tax levy to uh to pay this

928
00:44:57,540 --> 00:45:00,660
this department

929
00:45:00,660 --> 00:45:03,119
do you worship so you're quite right

930
00:45:03,119 --> 00:45:05,520
once that if we were to continuously

931
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,920
increases you'd be you know probably

932
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,780
just under three years three to four

933
00:45:09,780 --> 00:45:11,520
years that you would deplete that

934
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:12,900
Reserve in its entirety and then you

935
00:45:12,900 --> 00:45:14,940
would be looking at taxation to offset

936
00:45:14,940 --> 00:45:17,640
that increase each year

937
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:21,710
okay thanks

938
00:45:21,720 --> 00:45:26,569
Council shavery

939
00:45:26,579 --> 00:45:28,440
don't touch okay sure thank you thank

940
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,380
you worship the um the percentage

941
00:45:31,380 --> 00:45:32,940
increase then from one year to the next

942
00:45:32,940 --> 00:45:36,000
of the 86 000 that we have to come up on

943
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,160
the difference uh is there a percentage

944
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:39,420
did your workout that percentage

945
00:45:39,420 --> 00:45:41,579
increase and has it been challenged with

946
00:45:41,579 --> 00:45:44,280
the opp to find out why such an increase

947
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,690
in one year

948
00:45:47,700 --> 00:45:49,680
thank you through your worship

949
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,240
um I haven't calculated the percentage

950
00:45:51,240 --> 00:45:53,579
increase and um in terms of challenging

951
00:45:53,579 --> 00:45:56,760
it with the opp unfortunately

952
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,720
um it is what it is they they the opp

953
00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:03,960
billing model is very structured and

954
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,780
when it doesn't deviate so you can't go

955
00:46:06,780 --> 00:46:09,839
and adjust line items or or make special

956
00:46:09,839 --> 00:46:12,540
requests I've seen this through the

957
00:46:12,540 --> 00:46:14,220
course of my career when it was the old

958
00:46:14,220 --> 00:46:16,680
OPP billing model and and we would

959
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,440
attend many many meetings at the at the

960
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,500
you know have people coming from Aurelia

961
00:46:22,500 --> 00:46:24,960
to talk to us about it and um there's

962
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:26,940
just no changing it so unfortunately

963
00:46:26,940 --> 00:46:29,220
it's it's just the cost of doing

964
00:46:29,220 --> 00:46:31,980
business from the OPP's perspective some

965
00:46:31,980 --> 00:46:34,680
years there there isn't an increase like

966
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,500
um to Deputy Mayors metcalf's comments

967
00:46:37,500 --> 00:46:39,599
last year in the budget it's it remained

968
00:46:39,599 --> 00:46:41,640
fairly constant the reconciliation was

969
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,740
nominal so we were able to deal with

970
00:46:43,740 --> 00:46:45,660
that and not increase the the tax every

971
00:46:45,660 --> 00:46:48,359
requirement or at least stable lies it

972
00:46:48,359 --> 00:46:49,859
to some degree but unfortunately when

973
00:46:49,859 --> 00:46:51,660
you see these fluctuations it's you

974
00:46:51,660 --> 00:46:52,859
can't control them

975
00:46:52,859 --> 00:46:54,420
I wish I had a different answer for you

976
00:46:54,420 --> 00:46:56,760
but I'm sorry I don't

977
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,520
yeah it'd be nice to know

978
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,040
exactly you know the taxpayers dollars

979
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,020
what kind of fee for services we're

980
00:47:04,020 --> 00:47:06,300
getting and a breakdown unfortunately

981
00:47:06,300 --> 00:47:09,000
they're not giving that to us somewhere

982
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:10,800
keep paying the bill and we don't know

983
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,079
what we're getting

984
00:47:13,079 --> 00:47:16,140
we do have the opp billing model

985
00:47:16,140 --> 00:47:18,359
statement I can share that with Council

986
00:47:18,359 --> 00:47:20,700
again it's very high level and it it

987
00:47:20,700 --> 00:47:22,500
goes into quite a bit of details but I

988
00:47:22,500 --> 00:47:24,720
can certainly share that and if you'd

989
00:47:24,720 --> 00:47:25,819
like

990
00:47:25,819 --> 00:47:33,349
okay thank you

991
00:47:33,359 --> 00:47:35,040
Council variety

992
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:38,760
Mr Mayor thank you the

993
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:42,839
questions raised about the police and as

994
00:47:42,839 --> 00:47:44,780
a setting member on the council

995
00:47:44,780 --> 00:47:48,240
representative it's it's the last couple

996
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:50,579
of years it's been quite a state of flux

997
00:47:50,579 --> 00:47:52,680
we've had about three different

998
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,200
inspectors to cover Northumberland

999
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,000
County here now in three years I think

1000
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,520
it is or Jeff Martin is probably the

1001
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,760
longest this has been now and uh

1002
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,980
trying to Wade through it one of the

1003
00:48:04,980 --> 00:48:08,040
things that to the cost was

1004
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,440
going back three or four years ago

1005
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,140
Toronto police got a huge raise

1006
00:48:13,140 --> 00:48:16,319
and consequently there were steel and

1007
00:48:16,319 --> 00:48:20,400
officers from Opp so OPP retaliated to

1008
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,040
match their salary grid

1009
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,579
and even you know it's it's it doesn't

1010
00:48:26,579 --> 00:48:30,240
seem fair that somebody in the Boondocks

1011
00:48:30,240 --> 00:48:33,000
is drawing the same wages as an officer

1012
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:34,560
in downtown Toronto where they're

1013
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:36,300
shooting and stabbing each other every

1014
00:48:36,300 --> 00:48:38,880
other day but that's the reality of it

1015
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,700
and the local police Community doesn't

1016
00:48:41,700 --> 00:48:44,700
have any contact on that further to that

1017
00:48:44,700 --> 00:48:46,500
the Queen's Park and their wisdom

1018
00:48:46,500 --> 00:48:49,079
they've dissolved community policing

1019
00:48:49,079 --> 00:48:52,380
groups and and now we're seeing a

1020
00:48:52,380 --> 00:48:55,020
further desolution of police services

1021
00:48:55,020 --> 00:48:56,700
committee

1022
00:48:56,700 --> 00:49:00,300
from Five County five municipalities

1023
00:49:00,300 --> 00:49:02,819
having they're each one down to one and

1024
00:49:02,819 --> 00:49:05,940
this is all going to happen in the next

1025
00:49:05,940 --> 00:49:08,280
23 or 24 year

1026
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,339
so it's quite a

1027
00:49:10,339 --> 00:49:14,040
transitional phase and it's pretty clear

1028
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,500
they don't want civilians messing in

1029
00:49:16,500 --> 00:49:18,359
their business so

1030
00:49:18,359 --> 00:49:21,230
thank you

1031
00:49:21,240 --> 00:49:24,470
go ahead Valerie

1032
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,099
up next we have the conservation

1033
00:49:26,099 --> 00:49:29,940
Authority uh this is for agreements that

1034
00:49:29,940 --> 00:49:31,619
we have with lower Trent conservation

1035
00:49:31,619 --> 00:49:33,300
Authority Crow Valley conservation

1036
00:49:33,300 --> 00:49:34,619
Authority and autonomy region

1037
00:49:34,619 --> 00:49:36,960
conservation Authority within that

1038
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:38,520
budget we also

1039
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,920
um have a line item for Source water

1040
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:44,040
protection so I believe on some of the

1041
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:47,280
agendas in November Council has received

1042
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:48,900
the lower Trent conservation Authority

1043
00:49:48,900 --> 00:49:52,220
draft budget and there is an increase of

1044
00:49:52,220 --> 00:49:54,900
7531 there

1045
00:49:54,900 --> 00:49:56,940
um Orca pretty much stays the same in

1046
00:49:56,940 --> 00:49:58,560
terms of their budget and Crow Valley

1047
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,420
we've estimated a six percent increase

1048
00:50:00,420 --> 00:50:02,280
we will be confirming that they've

1049
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,440
indicated that they are still in budget

1050
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,900
deliberations but they do anticipate a

1051
00:50:06,900 --> 00:50:09,119
fairly sizable increase and what that

1052
00:50:09,119 --> 00:50:10,380
means to us

1053
00:50:10,380 --> 00:50:11,160
um

1054
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,200
it runs through a different formula and

1055
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,900
it's based on an apportionment so we'll

1056
00:50:15,900 --> 00:50:17,400
just keep checking back with them in

1057
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,260
terms of what they feel that that

1058
00:50:19,260 --> 00:50:21,359
increase will be again the budget is an

1059
00:50:21,359 --> 00:50:24,240
estimate so if we're if we under budget

1060
00:50:24,240 --> 00:50:25,980
and the payment comes to us or the

1061
00:50:25,980 --> 00:50:28,260
requisition request comes higher we will

1062
00:50:28,260 --> 00:50:30,660
have to find means and ways to to

1063
00:50:30,660 --> 00:50:33,000
finance that

1064
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,579
um again on the transfers to reserve

1065
00:50:35,579 --> 00:50:38,180
side we did identify in a staff report

1066
00:50:38,180 --> 00:50:40,920
that we would like to allocate some

1067
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:42,599
additional funds for some of the capital

1068
00:50:42,599 --> 00:50:45,359
items that are that were identified as

1069
00:50:45,359 --> 00:50:48,359
part of the workworth dam study so we

1070
00:50:48,359 --> 00:50:51,540
have uh had in the past uh in the last

1071
00:50:51,540 --> 00:50:53,160
several years set aside an amount of

1072
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:54,540
fifty five hundred dollars which

1073
00:50:54,540 --> 00:50:55,680
represents

1074
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,740
a 10-year period of getting to the end

1075
00:50:58,740 --> 00:51:00,660
of the 10-year period an amount at 50

1076
00:51:00,660 --> 00:51:04,440
percent to fund an updated Dam study and

1077
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,359
we would also like to set aside funds

1078
00:51:06,359 --> 00:51:08,460
for those Capital items that were

1079
00:51:08,460 --> 00:51:09,900
identified and will continue to be

1080
00:51:09,900 --> 00:51:12,599
identified again

1081
00:51:12,599 --> 00:51:14,339
in the past when they've come forward

1082
00:51:14,339 --> 00:51:17,099
with some of these requests for some

1083
00:51:17,099 --> 00:51:19,380
Capital assistance we have gone to our

1084
00:51:19,380 --> 00:51:22,020
general Reserve to finance those and

1085
00:51:22,020 --> 00:51:23,880
again we're just trying to set set

1086
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,440
ourselves up knowing that those costs

1087
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:28,260
are are coming forward and I'm not sure

1088
00:51:28,260 --> 00:51:29,760
if I'd like to turn it over to Jim at

1089
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:31,319
this time and see if he has any further

1090
00:51:31,319 --> 00:51:34,380
comments uh thank you director Finance I

1091
00:51:34,380 --> 00:51:35,819
just mentioned about the source water

1092
00:51:35,819 --> 00:51:38,700
protection so that is a program that we

1093
00:51:38,700 --> 00:51:41,400
have an agreement with lower Trent to we

1094
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:42,960
pay a proportion for a risk management

1095
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,119
official they come in on development

1096
00:51:45,119 --> 00:51:47,460
within the source water protection zones

1097
00:51:47,460 --> 00:51:49,260
which are around each of the water

1098
00:51:49,260 --> 00:51:52,020
intakes in Calvert Hastings and

1099
00:51:52,020 --> 00:51:53,819
workworth and certainly will provide

1100
00:51:53,819 --> 00:51:55,500
more information about the details of

1101
00:51:55,500 --> 00:51:57,540
how that works when we do our planning

1102
00:51:57,540 --> 00:51:59,940
orientation but that's my only comment

1103
00:51:59,940 --> 00:52:03,309
thank you

1104
00:52:03,319 --> 00:52:06,780
the pre-med calf

1105
00:52:06,780 --> 00:52:09,300
thank you worship uh Valerie the work

1106
00:52:09,300 --> 00:52:12,300
with damn study so we increased it

1107
00:52:12,300 --> 00:52:14,000
well

1108
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,880
5583 uh and you said that's to get to

1109
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:22,079
that end of the 10-year we'll uh pay for

1110
00:52:22,079 --> 00:52:24,960
that 50 damn study which is is

1111
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:25,859
um

1112
00:52:25,859 --> 00:52:27,540
a partnership with the lower Trend so we

1113
00:52:27,540 --> 00:52:29,520
would we would pay for 50 they would pay

1114
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:33,420
for 50 and then the other was capital is

1115
00:52:33,420 --> 00:52:36,240
that what we see the 11 000 and change

1116
00:52:36,240 --> 00:52:38,520
something that we're looking at putting

1117
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:40,619
in going forward up until that 10 years

1118
00:52:40,619 --> 00:52:43,500
which which includes that damn study

1119
00:52:43,500 --> 00:52:47,579
proportionment and the capital piece

1120
00:52:47,579 --> 00:52:50,400
yes it includes both so the damn study

1121
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:52,319
is the first part of it over the 10-year

1122
00:52:52,319 --> 00:52:55,079
and then the additional 5583 is

1123
00:52:55,079 --> 00:52:57,839
essentially over a it's about a total of

1124
00:52:57,839 --> 00:53:00,059
83 000 over a 15-year period is what

1125
00:53:00,059 --> 00:53:02,700
we've estimated but again it's going to

1126
00:53:02,700 --> 00:53:04,920
be dependent on funding that the

1127
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,319
conservation authorities can can find as

1128
00:53:07,319 --> 00:53:09,180
well through the the

1129
00:53:09,180 --> 00:53:11,700
acronym wacky but for those of you who

1130
00:53:11,700 --> 00:53:14,660
are familiar with that

1131
00:53:14,660 --> 00:53:19,790
thank you

1132
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,440
so the next uh slide is protective

1133
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,559
services and within this area it deals

1134
00:53:25,559 --> 00:53:29,040
with licensing and livestock claims and

1135
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:30,480
animal control

1136
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,880
within the contracted Services line item

1137
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:34,319
just for the benefit of the members of

1138
00:53:34,319 --> 00:53:36,300
council we do have a an amount in there

1139
00:53:36,300 --> 00:53:40,140
for animal control for dogs and cats we

1140
00:53:40,140 --> 00:53:43,200
have decreased the line item for the cat

1141
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:44,359
care

1142
00:53:44,359 --> 00:53:47,339
portion of the budget by 5000 leaving an

1143
00:53:47,339 --> 00:53:49,980
amount of 10 000 in there in hopes that

1144
00:53:49,980 --> 00:53:52,200
we will be able to receive their

1145
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:56,040
recommendations for future with their

1146
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,920
plan as to how to deal with that and at

1147
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,140
this time I'll just turn this over to

1148
00:54:01,140 --> 00:54:03,599
first of all the clerk and then any

1149
00:54:03,599 --> 00:54:06,020
other comments from staff

1150
00:54:06,020 --> 00:54:08,880
so under this category of the budget we

1151
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:12,260
also have our

1152
00:54:12,260 --> 00:54:15,780
Municipal valuer under the Ontario

1153
00:54:15,780 --> 00:54:19,819
Wildlife damage Compensation Program

1154
00:54:19,819 --> 00:54:22,500
actually got it

1155
00:54:22,500 --> 00:54:26,059
um so under that program when

1156
00:54:26,059 --> 00:54:31,140
Farmers lose livestock and there's a

1157
00:54:31,140 --> 00:54:34,740
full list of livestock to Wildlife we

1158
00:54:34,740 --> 00:54:38,040
send a valuer out who completes all the

1159
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:39,660
paperwork and we submit all the

1160
00:54:39,660 --> 00:54:42,839
paperwork into omafra through the

1161
00:54:42,839 --> 00:54:45,599
program on we are the local

1162
00:54:45,599 --> 00:54:47,940
administrators for that

1163
00:54:47,940 --> 00:54:50,040
we will be bringing forward something

1164
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,819
probably to update the per diem fee that

1165
00:54:53,819 --> 00:54:56,640
we are currently paying our lives our

1166
00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:00,119
Municipal valuer as

1167
00:55:00,119 --> 00:55:03,829
his contract is now

1168
00:55:03,839 --> 00:55:07,859
seven years old eight years old and it

1169
00:55:07,859 --> 00:55:09,000
is

1170
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,640
his current payment rate is out of line

1171
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:15,000
with surrounding municipalities it will

1172
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:16,760
not have an impact

1173
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:22,319
on the budget in front of you as omafra

1174
00:55:22,319 --> 00:55:26,880
does provide us a reimbursement for the

1175
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:28,800
valuer to go out and they did increase

1176
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,920
their reimbursement this year

1177
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,089
foreign

1178
00:55:35,099 --> 00:55:38,150
English

1179
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:40,740
yeah thank you very much Mr Mayor um is

1180
00:55:40,740 --> 00:55:42,420
this part of the budget that the cat

1181
00:55:42,420 --> 00:55:44,099
care initiative comes out of as well

1182
00:55:44,099 --> 00:55:45,599
Valerie

1183
00:55:45,599 --> 00:55:48,180
yes three year worship yep so we have um

1184
00:55:48,180 --> 00:55:49,619
in the within the contract and services

1185
00:55:49,619 --> 00:55:52,140
line item we do have amounts allocated

1186
00:55:52,140 --> 00:55:53,700
for

1187
00:55:53,700 --> 00:55:57,720
um dogs and cats so we have

1188
00:55:57,720 --> 00:56:02,220
um about 42 600 allocated for dogs and

1189
00:56:02,220 --> 00:56:05,400
approximately ten thousand for uh the

1190
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:09,000
cats for control of those animals and

1191
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:10,920
then livestock claims is in and around

1192
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,559
seven thousand within that entire budget

1193
00:56:13,559 --> 00:56:16,260
so we are decreasing the cat the the

1194
00:56:16,260 --> 00:56:18,599
portion of the budget under contracted

1195
00:56:18,599 --> 00:56:21,180
services for cat control but again just

1196
00:56:21,180 --> 00:56:24,720
waiting to see and uh look for their

1197
00:56:24,720 --> 00:56:28,619
input into the operation of that program

1198
00:56:28,619 --> 00:56:36,829
thank you

1199
00:56:36,839 --> 00:56:39,119
the next Department we have here is

1200
00:56:39,119 --> 00:56:41,520
building which covers building permits

1201
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:42,839
inspection and enforcement Services

1202
00:56:42,839 --> 00:56:45,020
Under the Ontario building code act

1203
00:56:45,020 --> 00:56:48,000
again in terms of the changes we have

1204
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,520
wages and benefits materials and

1205
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:54,839
supplies we've adjusted in slightly for

1206
00:56:54,839 --> 00:56:56,579
a training budget based on the

1207
00:56:56,579 --> 00:56:58,260
historical Trends and we adjusted the

1208
00:56:58,260 --> 00:56:59,940
software and support we have an admin

1209
00:56:59,940 --> 00:57:02,880
allocation that we we take certain costs

1210
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,400
that run corporately and we allocate

1211
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:06,960
those to the building department so

1212
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,480
we've had another look at those

1213
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,480
we increase the uh adjustment for

1214
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:14,220
utilities we're sorry we had a decrease

1215
00:57:14,220 --> 00:57:16,500
to the adjustment for utilities and of

1216
00:57:16,500 --> 00:57:18,420
course insurance is in being impacted in

1217
00:57:18,420 --> 00:57:21,599
the contracted Services we have uh in

1218
00:57:21,599 --> 00:57:23,339
order to try to offset some of the costs

1219
00:57:23,339 --> 00:57:24,780
we've increased our building permit fees

1220
00:57:24,780 --> 00:57:26,460
based on the historical revenues that

1221
00:57:26,460 --> 00:57:28,400
we're seeing

1222
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:32,520
the in terms of computer software I'll

1223
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:35,460
turn it over to Jim to talk about that

1224
00:57:35,460 --> 00:57:39,480
uh thank you yes we're looking forward

1225
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:43,319
to uh trying to go paperless or making

1226
00:57:43,319 --> 00:57:45,119
small steps but that's certainly with

1227
00:57:45,119 --> 00:57:47,700
our new Chief Building official one of

1228
00:57:47,700 --> 00:57:49,380
the

1229
00:57:49,380 --> 00:57:51,480
primary goals that we're trying to

1230
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:53,940
achieve so we've we've allocated some

1231
00:57:53,940 --> 00:57:55,140
funds we're not sure that's the right

1232
00:57:55,140 --> 00:57:58,020
amount but we do have strong reserves

1233
00:57:58,020 --> 00:58:00,059
and we look forward to implementing that

1234
00:58:00,059 --> 00:58:10,970
in 2023

1235
00:58:10,980 --> 00:58:13,440
. well thank you your worship um the

1236
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,420
computer software I guess it it'll also

1237
00:58:15,420 --> 00:58:19,559
have ongoing support charges as well

1238
00:58:19,559 --> 00:58:22,020
yes there's um through you Mr Mayor

1239
00:58:22,020 --> 00:58:24,720
there's limited number of software that

1240
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:28,079
supports building permit programs um the

1241
00:58:28,079 --> 00:58:29,579
currency building official is familiar

1242
00:58:29,579 --> 00:58:30,780
with one of them from his previous

1243
00:58:30,780 --> 00:58:32,339
employment so we're looking at that one

1244
00:58:32,339 --> 00:58:34,920
first and um

1245
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,559
but you have to recognize too that even

1246
00:58:37,559 --> 00:58:38,819
though we're not using software

1247
00:58:38,819 --> 00:58:40,500
currently we still have those ongoing

1248
00:58:40,500 --> 00:58:42,839
operating costs to generate the permit

1249
00:58:42,839 --> 00:58:46,079
the paper permits and the inspection

1250
00:58:46,079 --> 00:58:49,440
forms and enter that information into

1251
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:51,960
our system so we're hoping that with

1252
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:54,660
this new software it would be something

1253
00:58:54,660 --> 00:58:56,700
they can do in the field they just do it

1254
00:58:56,700 --> 00:58:59,460
through a touch screen through a tablet

1255
00:58:59,460 --> 00:59:01,619
and automatically the

1256
00:59:01,619 --> 00:59:04,020
the inspection report is entered things

1257
00:59:04,020 --> 00:59:05,760
like that so it should lead to a number

1258
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:07,920
of efficiencies as well

1259
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:16,930
thank you

1260
00:59:16,940 --> 00:59:19,980
and on to Municipal bylaw so this

1261
00:59:19,980 --> 00:59:22,020
involves Municipal enforcement parking

1262
00:59:22,020 --> 00:59:23,640
enforcement and Property Standards

1263
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:26,160
overall there's very little change again

1264
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:28,260
in the wages and benefits component of

1265
00:59:28,260 --> 00:59:29,599
the budget

1266
00:59:29,599 --> 00:59:32,099
and as well we have some minor

1267
00:59:32,099 --> 00:59:34,619
adjustments for legal and phone costs

1268
00:59:34,619 --> 00:59:37,559
and I'll turn it over to Jim at this

1269
00:59:37,559 --> 00:59:38,839
time

1270
00:59:38,839 --> 00:59:41,640
I don't really have much more to add

1271
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:44,520
it's a very limited changes overall just

1272
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:46,799
those minor adjustments that Valerie has

1273
00:59:46,799 --> 00:59:53,150
mentioned

1274
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:56,940
councilor Pope worship thank you um

1275
00:59:56,940 --> 01:00:00,359
the my understanding is that some bylaw

1276
01:00:00,359 --> 01:00:03,059
enforcement is also done by the regular

1277
01:00:03,059 --> 01:00:04,920
building staff as well

1278
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:06,180
is that

1279
01:00:06,180 --> 01:00:08,760
do we have an idea of how much time is

1280
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:12,069
spent on that

1281
01:00:12,079 --> 01:00:14,880
we are in the process of bringing

1282
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:16,260
forward

1283
01:00:16,260 --> 01:00:19,140
um a report similar to what the building

1284
01:00:19,140 --> 01:00:20,760
department reports each month on a

1285
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:22,980
number of permits issued to sort of look

1286
01:00:22,980 --> 01:00:25,740
at the number of issues or complaints or

1287
01:00:25,740 --> 01:00:27,960
information requests that come through

1288
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,299
bylaw and we can try to help

1289
01:00:30,299 --> 01:00:33,480
differentiate how much of that is

1290
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:35,880
allocated through the dedicated bylaw

1291
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:39,720
staff versus the other staff who also

1292
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:40,799
have

1293
01:00:40,799 --> 01:00:43,619
a small percentage of time allocated for

1294
01:00:43,619 --> 01:00:45,839
that so we'll take that forward as we

1295
01:00:45,839 --> 01:00:47,700
develop that report

1296
01:00:47,700 --> 01:00:49,380
I'm not sure if it's appropriate but

1297
01:00:49,380 --> 01:00:51,119
I'll ask it do you feel we need more

1298
01:00:51,119 --> 01:00:53,640
resources in this area

1299
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:56,640
it'd certainly be been a strong demand

1300
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:59,579
and certainly during the pandemic we ran

1301
01:00:59,579 --> 01:01:01,260
into a lot of interesting situations

1302
01:01:01,260 --> 01:01:04,160
that we had never dealt with before

1303
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:08,220
and we also have some policy or bylaw

1304
01:01:08,220 --> 01:01:09,900
considerations coming forward such as

1305
01:01:09,900 --> 01:01:12,240
with short-term accommodation that may

1306
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:14,880
add to the demand on if not enforcement

1307
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,280
on going out and doing inspections and

1308
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,619
gathering information so we'll be

1309
01:01:19,619 --> 01:01:21,299
working with the CEO to see if that's

1310
01:01:21,299 --> 01:01:23,640
necessary and anything like that we'll

1311
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:25,799
come forward to Council of course

1312
01:01:25,799 --> 01:01:27,960
thank you

1313
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:30,660
Deputy Metcalf

1314
01:01:30,660 --> 01:01:32,940
thank you your worship Jim maybe the

1315
01:01:32,940 --> 01:01:36,960
um a quick clarification on on

1316
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,660
the enforcement capabilities of our

1317
01:01:39,660 --> 01:01:42,960
bylaw officers versus uh the select few

1318
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:45,900
other staff and and and what uh say

1319
01:01:45,900 --> 01:01:47,640
their responsibilities and enforcement

1320
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:49,680
would be in in their category or their

1321
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:51,900
Department

1322
01:01:51,900 --> 01:01:53,880
uh through you Mr Mayor so certainly you

1323
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:55,799
can expect that there are situations

1324
01:01:55,799 --> 01:01:58,260
where um there might require two

1325
01:01:58,260 --> 01:02:00,900
different staff with different fields so

1326
01:02:00,900 --> 01:02:02,940
quite often the bile officer and the

1327
01:02:02,940 --> 01:02:05,040
fire inspector may be required to go to

1328
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,200
a certain situation where there are

1329
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:09,900
concerns about those two facets of the

1330
01:02:09,900 --> 01:02:12,540
of the problem there may be situations

1331
01:02:12,540 --> 01:02:15,599
where we go to a Property Standards

1332
01:02:15,599 --> 01:02:17,160
complaint where there might be is there

1333
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:19,140
building concerns that have to also be

1334
01:02:19,140 --> 01:02:22,500
addressed so it would be a two person

1335
01:02:22,500 --> 01:02:24,180
team that would go to assess that

1336
01:02:24,180 --> 01:02:26,280
situation so I think that's the sort of

1337
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:30,059
thing sometimes when one staff person

1338
01:02:30,059 --> 01:02:32,520
isn't available and we may have for

1339
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:34,260
example a dog bite situation or

1340
01:02:34,260 --> 01:02:35,460
something that's somewhat of an

1341
01:02:35,460 --> 01:02:37,680
emergency we might want to send whoever

1342
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:39,599
whatever staff is available to try and

1343
01:02:39,599 --> 01:02:40,920
go and address that and get the

1344
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,799
information quite quickly so that's an

1345
01:02:43,799 --> 01:02:46,020
example of how the multiple staff are

1346
01:02:46,020 --> 01:02:48,359
required and how they work together

1347
01:02:48,359 --> 01:02:57,950
thank you

1348
01:02:57,960 --> 01:02:59,520
the next slide deals with Emergency

1349
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:02,280
Management which is predominantly we

1350
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:03,839
sometimes refer to it as emergency

1351
01:03:03,839 --> 01:03:05,760
preparedness and as well Civic

1352
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:08,280
addressing is contained in this area of

1353
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:11,579
service there currently are no wages and

1354
01:03:11,579 --> 01:03:14,460
benefits allocated necessarily to uh

1355
01:03:14,460 --> 01:03:16,680
this it is under the purview of the fire

1356
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:18,540
department predominantly if there are

1357
01:03:18,540 --> 01:03:22,559
wages that are involved we do have under

1358
01:03:22,559 --> 01:03:24,900
materials and supplies we have things

1359
01:03:24,900 --> 01:03:27,920
for training for Incident Management

1360
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:30,900
situations and mock exercises that we

1361
01:03:30,900 --> 01:03:33,420
have and

1362
01:03:33,420 --> 01:03:35,819
the other part of this that you'll see

1363
01:03:35,819 --> 01:03:36,900
I'm going to turn it over to the fire

1364
01:03:36,900 --> 01:03:38,819
chief but I just want to speak briefly

1365
01:03:38,819 --> 01:03:41,819
about the transfer to reserve and what

1366
01:03:41,819 --> 01:03:44,400
we do to prepare for emergencies so the

1367
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:46,079
the province has a municipal Disaster

1368
01:03:46,079 --> 01:03:49,380
Recovery assistance program and there is

1369
01:03:49,380 --> 01:03:52,200
a very specific formula whereby the

1370
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:53,520
municipality would be eligible to

1371
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:55,799
receive funding in the event of a of a

1372
01:03:55,799 --> 01:03:58,079
natural disaster

1373
01:03:58,079 --> 01:04:00,660
and so the municipality has historically

1374
01:04:00,660 --> 01:04:03,240
created uh we have a template that we

1375
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:06,000
use and we have an estimated value of an

1376
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,700
event which then rolls through the

1377
01:04:08,700 --> 01:04:10,799
amount of funding that would be eligible

1378
01:04:10,799 --> 01:04:12,660
from the provincial side as well as our

1379
01:04:12,660 --> 01:04:14,819
own Municipal responsibility to cover

1380
01:04:14,819 --> 01:04:17,520
those expenses we've looked at that in

1381
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:22,140
2023 or for 2023 and we have reduced the

1382
01:04:22,140 --> 01:04:25,020
overall event to an approximately three

1383
01:04:25,020 --> 01:04:27,540
million dollar event and from there the

1384
01:04:27,540 --> 01:04:30,240
formulas roll out as to what would be

1385
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:34,079
our responsibility to cover and so um

1386
01:04:34,079 --> 01:04:36,000
it's quite a convoluted formula but

1387
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:37,740
anyway we feel that over the course of a

1388
01:04:37,740 --> 01:04:40,079
10-year period we we want to get to a

1389
01:04:40,079 --> 01:04:44,040
goal of approximately 238 000 or 240 000

1390
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,380
in a reserve should we ever be called

1391
01:04:46,380 --> 01:04:48,960
upon to utilize those funds to access

1392
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:51,299
provincial funding

1393
01:04:51,299 --> 01:04:54,780
so um if Sean if you would like to you

1394
01:04:54,780 --> 01:04:56,760
know comment on the emergency exercise

1395
01:04:56,760 --> 01:05:00,890
Etc

1396
01:05:00,900 --> 01:05:02,400
yeah there was like I said we didn't

1397
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,160
have a lot of changes in this uh as well

1398
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:06,900
um

1399
01:05:06,900 --> 01:05:08,579
we haven't done a real emergency

1400
01:05:08,579 --> 01:05:11,520
exercise we probably will be doing a

1401
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,760
session in here opening up the EOC

1402
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:16,680
um which would be a minimal cost for

1403
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:24,049
this year

1404
01:05:24,059 --> 01:05:35,109
deputy medcap

1405
01:05:35,119 --> 01:05:38,460
thank you you worship uh Valerie you you

1406
01:05:38,460 --> 01:05:40,640
spoke of the

1407
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:43,920
uh emergency funding

1408
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:47,700
uh and that goes back to I if I remember

1409
01:05:47,700 --> 01:05:50,700
correctly a three percent

1410
01:05:50,700 --> 01:05:52,920
allocation

1411
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:56,339
to the reserve uh that has to be in the

1412
01:05:56,339 --> 01:05:59,040
municipal from Municipal coffers

1413
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:00,299
um

1414
01:06:00,299 --> 01:06:03,829
like you said it's convoluted

1415
01:06:03,839 --> 01:06:05,760
it's true you worship yes it is

1416
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:07,740
complicated the starting point is that

1417
01:06:07,740 --> 01:06:09,299
you must have three percent of your own

1418
01:06:09,299 --> 01:06:11,520
purpose taxation that's the starting

1419
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:13,859
point so we always use the prior year

1420
01:06:13,859 --> 01:06:16,500
taxation so the 14 million seven hundred

1421
01:06:16,500 --> 01:06:19,140
thousand and that three percent three

1422
01:06:19,140 --> 01:06:21,780
percent of that is where that whole

1423
01:06:21,780 --> 01:06:23,760
formula

1424
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:28,319
it's here so uh costs up to that own

1425
01:06:28,319 --> 01:06:31,079
purpose taxation amount that we would

1426
01:06:31,079 --> 01:06:33,539
have the province would cover 75 percent

1427
01:06:33,539 --> 01:06:35,039
of it and the municipality would cover

1428
01:06:35,039 --> 01:06:36,720
the other 25 percent

1429
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:39,000
beyond that on-purpose taxation

1430
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:41,160
calculation then the province would pay

1431
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:43,500
95 percent and the municipality would

1432
01:06:43,500 --> 01:06:46,319
pay five percent so again it's just a

1433
01:06:46,319 --> 01:06:48,720
means in ways that we it's a test for us

1434
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:50,700
that we use every year to ensure that we

1435
01:06:50,700 --> 01:06:52,559
have at least some funds set aside in

1436
01:06:52,559 --> 01:06:54,180
the event of a disaster that we would

1437
01:06:54,180 --> 01:06:56,599
have to pull from

1438
01:06:56,599 --> 01:06:59,760
so looking into the future if we don't

1439
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,280
meet that threshold

1440
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:04,619
what does that mean

1441
01:07:04,619 --> 01:07:08,099
uh on what the difference of the

1442
01:07:08,099 --> 01:07:10,020
proportionment for the province would

1443
01:07:10,020 --> 01:07:14,339
give and what we have to come up with

1444
01:07:14,339 --> 01:07:16,619
I think if you didn't have funds in that

1445
01:07:16,619 --> 01:07:17,880
Reserve you would be looking to another

1446
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:19,980
Reserve to to ensure that you had

1447
01:07:19,980 --> 01:07:22,079
sufficient funds to be able to access

1448
01:07:22,079 --> 01:07:24,960
the provincial funding component okay

1449
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:31,609
thank you

1450
01:07:31,619 --> 01:07:34,799
all right all right so we're up to roads

1451
01:07:34,799 --> 01:07:36,839
and urban services this includes roads

1452
01:07:36,839 --> 01:07:38,339
Bridges sidewalk maintenance and

1453
01:07:38,339 --> 01:07:39,780
construction street lights being

1454
01:07:39,780 --> 01:07:42,059
decorative and standard as well as

1455
01:07:42,059 --> 01:07:43,500
crossing guards

1456
01:07:43,500 --> 01:07:46,260
this area of the budget obviously is one

1457
01:07:46,260 --> 01:07:48,119
of the largest ones because of the

1458
01:07:48,119 --> 01:07:50,640
resources that are required to run all

1459
01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:52,819
of the operations that I just mentioned

1460
01:07:52,819 --> 01:07:54,900
they also have the largest staff

1461
01:07:54,900 --> 01:07:57,059
complement which you start to see the

1462
01:07:57,059 --> 01:07:58,740
change year over year in the wages and

1463
01:07:58,740 --> 01:08:01,020
benefit component

1464
01:08:01,020 --> 01:08:03,420
um and then materials and supplies as

1465
01:08:03,420 --> 01:08:05,160
well so I'm going to hand it over to

1466
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:07,200
Neil because he is the resident expert

1467
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:09,359
on roads and urban services and he will

1468
01:08:09,359 --> 01:08:10,920
certainly be able to answer any

1469
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:15,789
questions that you may have

1470
01:08:15,799 --> 01:08:18,719
through your worship like the thankful

1471
01:08:18,719 --> 01:08:23,279
for putting up with me for some of the

1472
01:08:23,279 --> 01:08:27,239
discussions we've had but um our overall

1473
01:08:27,239 --> 01:08:30,359
budget for 366 thousand dollars or

1474
01:08:30,359 --> 01:08:32,400
thousand dollars overall for operating

1475
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:34,259
in capital

1476
01:08:34,259 --> 01:08:38,279
um I think is very reasonable with our

1477
01:08:38,279 --> 01:08:39,239
uh

1478
01:08:39,239 --> 01:08:41,339
for the or for our roads and everything

1479
01:08:41,339 --> 01:08:43,920
that we have to keep maintained

1480
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:45,060
um so I'm just going to go down through

1481
01:08:45,060 --> 01:08:47,640
it very quickly for operating there was

1482
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:52,319
a 292 748 dollar increase uh the

1483
01:08:52,319 --> 01:08:54,480
transfer is ninety thousand dollars and

1484
01:08:54,480 --> 01:08:56,580
on the next slide it kind of explains

1485
01:08:56,580 --> 01:08:58,859
some of that too uh with the transfers

1486
01:08:58,859 --> 01:08:59,759
which

1487
01:08:59,759 --> 01:09:01,920
um the money for the transfers comes

1488
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:03,900
from aggregate Revenue we get four

1489
01:09:03,900 --> 01:09:07,440
percent of uh every uh

1490
01:09:07,440 --> 01:09:09,719
dollar that's taken in by the other pits

1491
01:09:09,719 --> 01:09:13,140
that are owned in the municipality and

1492
01:09:13,140 --> 01:09:15,900
also the retaining walls we put twenty

1493
01:09:15,900 --> 01:09:19,380
thousand dollars a year of uh into a

1494
01:09:19,380 --> 01:09:22,440
reserve to so that when retaining walls

1495
01:09:22,440 --> 01:09:24,900
are a problem we have some

1496
01:09:24,900 --> 01:09:26,759
something to fall back on and repair

1497
01:09:26,759 --> 01:09:29,040
them and bridges of course fifty

1498
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:30,839
thousand dollars of Reserve into there

1499
01:09:30,839 --> 01:09:33,480
Four Bridges because we do have 41

1500
01:09:33,480 --> 01:09:35,640
structures and they are

1501
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:40,020
very high cost to maintain

1502
01:09:40,020 --> 01:09:43,759
um so when we get into the capital uh 73

1503
01:09:43,759 --> 01:09:50,179
486 dollar increase and that is uh

1504
01:09:50,179 --> 01:09:52,799
maintaining the program we've had in the

1505
01:09:52,799 --> 01:09:55,620
past few years and I'll go through the

1506
01:09:55,620 --> 01:09:58,080
capital in a second too maybe a little

1507
01:09:58,080 --> 01:09:59,699
bit line by line

1508
01:09:59,699 --> 01:10:04,380
so the year changed 366 thousand so as

1509
01:10:04,380 --> 01:10:06,420
Val mentioned the wages and benefits is

1510
01:10:06,420 --> 01:10:08,699
168 000

1511
01:10:08,699 --> 01:10:12,179
um increase uh materials and supplies

1512
01:10:12,179 --> 01:10:15,360
and on the next slide um it talks about

1513
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:18,420
materials and some of the big items

1514
01:10:18,420 --> 01:10:21,659
there are calcium and granulars so

1515
01:10:21,659 --> 01:10:23,400
that's the gravel for our gravel roads

1516
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,860
which is 244 kilometers and dust

1517
01:10:25,860 --> 01:10:28,020
suppressant an increase of fifteen

1518
01:10:28,020 --> 01:10:29,760
thousand and that's just to stay with

1519
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:31,440
the inflation and the cost of those

1520
01:10:31,440 --> 01:10:32,340
things

1521
01:10:32,340 --> 01:10:38,640
sand is 7637 dollars our pets are we

1522
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:40,560
don't have any more sand available to us

1523
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:43,380
so now we have to buy sand so that's a

1524
01:10:43,380 --> 01:10:45,600
big increase in overall in the year it's

1525
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:47,340
approximately ninety thousand dollars

1526
01:10:47,340 --> 01:10:49,620
that's costing the municipality to have

1527
01:10:49,620 --> 01:10:51,000
the sand that we need for the winter

1528
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:52,080
control

1529
01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:54,600
another one is salt that keeps going up

1530
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:57,239
and that's eleven thousand nine hundred

1531
01:10:57,239 --> 01:10:59,100
eighty one dollars and that's just too

1532
01:10:59,100 --> 01:11:02,760
uh stay with the inflation and the

1533
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:06,060
actual cost of this year's contract for

1534
01:11:06,060 --> 01:11:08,520
the salt and Fleet Parts six thousand

1535
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:10,080
and thirty two dollars

1536
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:12,960
and those are the big items in the

1537
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:14,880
material

1538
01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:17,340
and supplies and then contracted

1539
01:11:17,340 --> 01:11:20,940
Services as it's broke out here

1540
01:11:20,940 --> 01:11:24,120
um insurance is 19 515 and then the

1541
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:25,800
Engineering Services is the other big

1542
01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:29,880
one that's 75 000 and we put seventy

1543
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:31,739
five thousand dollars this year into the

1544
01:11:31,739 --> 01:11:35,159
budget for the new Public Works facility

1545
01:11:35,159 --> 01:11:37,440
um we do have a preliminary design and

1546
01:11:37,440 --> 01:11:40,320
this is to kind of ramp it up and

1547
01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:42,420
hopefully we can get a conceptual or

1548
01:11:42,420 --> 01:11:46,440
conceptual design for it

1549
01:11:46,440 --> 01:11:49,739
um so that kind of breaks that up

1550
01:11:49,739 --> 01:11:51,600
and then I guess if we go into the

1551
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:54,659
capital like I mentioned before our all

1552
01:11:54,659 --> 01:11:56,820
our programs are going to be

1553
01:11:56,820 --> 01:11:59,280
basically maintained as we've had them

1554
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,920
are resurfacing our asphalt resurfacing

1555
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:03,960
our bridges

1556
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,360
um all that so it's all broke out in

1557
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:09,179
that slide too what our expenditures are

1558
01:12:09,179 --> 01:12:11,699
and what's expected so I think that's

1559
01:12:11,699 --> 01:12:15,530
about it

1560
01:12:15,540 --> 01:12:19,610
Council Deputy Metcalf

1561
01:12:19,620 --> 01:12:21,659
thank you worship

1562
01:12:21,659 --> 01:12:24,600
uh

1563
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:28,560
the line item on uh Capital revenues for

1564
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:31,199
2023 is three million

1565
01:12:31,199 --> 01:12:34,850
71 588

1566
01:12:34,860 --> 01:12:37,199
piece of that is from the Canada

1567
01:12:37,199 --> 01:12:41,100
community building fund am I correct

1568
01:12:41,100 --> 01:12:43,199
the old Federal gas tax

1569
01:12:43,199 --> 01:12:46,669
that is correct

1570
01:12:46,679 --> 01:12:49,140
so if I look back sorry I'm I'm kind of

1571
01:12:49,140 --> 01:12:51,080
jumping ahead

1572
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:54,790
uh

1573
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:59,930
I guess it's a chart on page 55

1574
01:12:59,940 --> 01:13:03,120
the resurfacing program uh existing

1575
01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:07,440
tauren ship and conversion tarantship

1576
01:13:07,440 --> 01:13:12,120
it's about a million

1577
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:14,460
say about a million dollars is that

1578
01:13:14,460 --> 01:13:16,739
completely what we get from that fund

1579
01:13:16,739 --> 01:13:19,340
and it's put directly into

1580
01:13:19,340 --> 01:13:23,750
the road resurfacing

1581
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:25,920
uh through you you worship I'll I'll

1582
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:28,320
speak to that so the resurfacing torn

1583
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:30,239
ship the existing program we we dub it

1584
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,400
as existing so those are roads that are

1585
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:34,860
already surface treated

1586
01:13:34,860 --> 01:13:37,140
um that grant money I'm looking at page

1587
01:13:37,140 --> 01:13:38,280
35

1588
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:40,739
um for everybody's reference

1589
01:13:40,739 --> 01:13:44,699
so that that total amount of 426 000 914

1590
01:13:44,699 --> 01:13:46,440
is from the Canada Community benefit

1591
01:13:46,440 --> 01:13:50,100
building fund sorry and it did increase

1592
01:13:50,100 --> 01:13:52,500
slightly the 23 allocation has been

1593
01:13:52,500 --> 01:13:55,440
confirmed at the 426 914 the next line

1594
01:13:55,440 --> 01:13:57,900
item that you see is the a Top-Up amount

1595
01:13:57,900 --> 01:14:00,900
that we received in 2021 and so we're

1596
01:14:00,900 --> 01:14:03,780
applying that to the uh the conversion

1597
01:14:03,780 --> 01:14:05,940
so roads that are going from gravel to

1598
01:14:05,940 --> 01:14:08,640
Tar and Chip we're applying that amount

1599
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:10,320
of funding so that we can augment that

1600
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:13,020
so the the expenditure did increase but

1601
01:14:13,020 --> 01:14:15,600
so did the offsetting grant Revenue from

1602
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:19,550
that from the 2021 Top-Up

1603
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:21,960
so the fun the the monies that we

1604
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:23,400
receive from that Canada community

1605
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:25,080
building fund

1606
01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:27,540
the sole purpose that we use it for is

1607
01:14:27,540 --> 01:14:31,679
for those for that program correct

1608
01:14:31,679 --> 01:14:33,960
uh yes to date that is what we have been

1609
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:36,840
using them for uh it's not mandatory to

1610
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:38,640
use them for that purpose

1611
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:40,260
um but yes we have historically always

1612
01:14:40,260 --> 01:14:42,480
used them for to enhance that

1613
01:14:42,480 --> 01:14:47,390
resurfacing program to offset taxation

1614
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:50,159
I know that that fund has some

1615
01:14:50,159 --> 01:14:52,199
opportunity for

1616
01:14:52,199 --> 01:14:54,000
other infrastructure

1617
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:57,600
Capital uh opportunities

1618
01:14:57,600 --> 01:14:59,640
um that maybe in the future we need to

1619
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:02,100
to take a strong look at and see where

1620
01:15:02,100 --> 01:15:05,340
we're able to use uh those funds if

1621
01:15:05,340 --> 01:15:08,340
necessary down the road for uh for other

1622
01:15:08,340 --> 01:15:11,219
other projects as much as

1623
01:15:11,219 --> 01:15:13,920
roads resurfacing counselor English is

1624
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:15,480
very important

1625
01:15:15,480 --> 01:15:19,020
uh uh I perhaps there's some wiggle room

1626
01:15:19,020 --> 01:15:21,659
to uh to find funds for the road

1627
01:15:21,659 --> 01:15:25,560
resurfacing and um and use that fund uh

1628
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:28,500
for some other programs uh if necessary

1629
01:15:28,500 --> 01:15:30,780
I'm happy that we're getting roads

1630
01:15:30,780 --> 01:15:33,300
resurfaced but I think that there's some

1631
01:15:33,300 --> 01:15:35,820
possibly some opportunity to shuffle

1632
01:15:35,820 --> 01:15:38,580
some funds that are appropriate down the

1633
01:15:38,580 --> 01:15:41,040
road uh when they're allocated to

1634
01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:47,870
certain programs

1635
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:50,640
they're getting three worship uh for

1636
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:52,380
clarification a couple questions on the

1637
01:15:52,380 --> 01:15:54,360
grader is that operating costs or

1638
01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:57,380
maintenance cost for the 550

1639
01:15:57,380 --> 01:15:59,699
through your worship

1640
01:15:59,699 --> 01:16:02,040
um the greater that is there is to

1641
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:06,719
replace a 1995 Champion that has 18 000

1642
01:16:06,719 --> 01:16:09,480
hours on it the head starting to it's

1643
01:16:09,480 --> 01:16:12,020
overheated the head needs a new head

1644
01:16:12,020 --> 01:16:15,239
overhaul on it and it needs a rear end

1645
01:16:15,239 --> 01:16:17,699
and starting to leak too so you'll need

1646
01:16:17,699 --> 01:16:20,300
to replace it we have

1647
01:16:20,300 --> 01:16:23,760
245 kilometers of gravel road and we

1648
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:25,620
have three graders and this is our it's

1649
01:16:25,620 --> 01:16:28,500
a 1995 witches

1650
01:16:28,500 --> 01:16:30,840
a second question on these sand pits are

1651
01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:33,179
there any future locations to develop

1652
01:16:33,179 --> 01:16:36,290
new sand pets

1653
01:16:36,300 --> 01:16:38,580
do you hear your worship

1654
01:16:38,580 --> 01:16:41,460
uh we do have two Chang's pet in

1655
01:16:41,460 --> 01:16:44,040
Merrell's pet and they're pretty well at

1656
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:46,140
their life's end

1657
01:16:46,140 --> 01:16:49,260
um there are some other pits in Trent

1658
01:16:49,260 --> 01:16:51,540
Hills but to purchase them and to get

1659
01:16:51,540 --> 01:16:54,179
licensing and everything it is very

1660
01:16:54,179 --> 01:16:57,000
expensive just for us to even get a

1661
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,699
permit to dump topsoil in our own pit

1662
01:16:59,699 --> 01:17:01,679
took five years for a permit so the

1663
01:17:01,679 --> 01:17:04,260
ministry and not in the upkeep it isn't

1664
01:17:04,260 --> 01:17:06,540
really feasible for us for what we

1665
01:17:06,540 --> 01:17:09,659
actually use them for now

1666
01:17:09,659 --> 01:17:11,460
ask questions sorry

1667
01:17:11,460 --> 01:17:13,080
um and what is the plan for the two pits

1668
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:15,719
that we have fully used

1669
01:17:15,719 --> 01:17:20,159
we do have uh granular B

1670
01:17:20,159 --> 01:17:24,179
pet run which we do Crush out of Chang's

1671
01:17:24,179 --> 01:17:27,300
um 15 000 tones a year for road gravel

1672
01:17:27,300 --> 01:17:30,060
and Meryl's pit is pretty well

1673
01:17:30,060 --> 01:17:32,400
it has C material so if we're doing a

1674
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:34,020
construction job or anything like that

1675
01:17:34,020 --> 01:17:37,080
we do have some fill that we could use

1676
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:38,820
but overall we're going to be starting

1677
01:17:38,820 --> 01:17:42,420
to look at rehabilitating them

1678
01:17:42,420 --> 01:17:43,860
foreign

1679
01:17:43,860 --> 01:17:46,970
English

1680
01:17:46,980 --> 01:17:48,600
thank you Mr Mayor

1681
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:51,080
um a couple questions Neil

1682
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:54,900
your conversion car and chip is 313 000

1683
01:17:54,900 --> 01:17:56,699
I believe that's more than last year

1684
01:17:56,699 --> 01:17:59,520
which makes me very happy

1685
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:02,520
uh I know this might be a tough question

1686
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:04,860
you not knowing the Emulsion price and

1687
01:18:04,860 --> 01:18:06,780
everything approximately how many clicks

1688
01:18:06,780 --> 01:18:08,580
are you hoping to achieve in three

1689
01:18:08,580 --> 01:18:11,100
hundred thirteen thousand

1690
01:18:11,100 --> 01:18:13,199
through your worship

1691
01:18:13,199 --> 01:18:16,800
um unfortunately the 313 000 will do

1692
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:18,780
about the same as it did this year the

1693
01:18:18,780 --> 01:18:22,140
Emulsion went from 57 cents a liter to

1694
01:18:22,140 --> 01:18:26,699
94 cents in this last year so 313 000

1695
01:18:26,699 --> 01:18:28,500
won't quite do the three to five

1696
01:18:28,500 --> 01:18:30,719
kilometers that we did this year

1697
01:18:30,719 --> 01:18:34,679
so the gas tax or the other funding

1698
01:18:34,679 --> 01:18:36,600
really helps out to

1699
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:39,900
I'm sure everybody else heard that

1700
01:18:39,900 --> 01:18:43,140
um other question Randy Street Renewal

1701
01:18:43,140 --> 01:18:45,719
how how much of rainy Street do you plan

1702
01:18:45,719 --> 01:18:49,250
on doing the whole thing

1703
01:18:49,260 --> 01:18:51,060
you hear your worship and Scott could

1704
01:18:51,060 --> 01:18:53,820
maybe jump into if there's anything else

1705
01:18:53,820 --> 01:18:55,679
but yeah we're looking from Market

1706
01:18:55,679 --> 01:18:57,060
Street

1707
01:18:57,060 --> 01:19:00,179
to Front Street North so basically two

1708
01:19:00,179 --> 01:19:05,040
sections Market Market to Bridge Street

1709
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:07,620
to Front Street sold by the high school

1710
01:19:07,620 --> 01:19:10,140
and then from the pool to market the

1711
01:19:10,140 --> 01:19:11,280
high school will be done in the first

1712
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:13,550
phase

1713
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:15,420
hopefully

1714
01:19:15,420 --> 01:19:16,920
um yeah so as Neil says so we're looking

1715
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:18,659
at doing the design from on of

1716
01:19:18,659 --> 01:19:20,699
everything from Bridge Street out to

1717
01:19:20,699 --> 01:19:21,980
Front Street North

1718
01:19:21,980 --> 01:19:24,900
it's it's very difficult to put together

1719
01:19:24,900 --> 01:19:26,940
these budgets I think Council can

1720
01:19:26,940 --> 01:19:28,800
appreciate that at this time just with

1721
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:30,239
everything that's happened in the last

1722
01:19:30,239 --> 01:19:33,179
two years I mean prices have gone up you

1723
01:19:33,179 --> 01:19:36,060
know uh exponentially so we're looking

1724
01:19:36,060 --> 01:19:38,100
at doing the design but the costs that

1725
01:19:38,100 --> 01:19:39,719
have been included in here are just for

1726
01:19:39,719 --> 01:19:42,000
Bridge Street up to to Market Street in

1727
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:43,860
that section we would hope to bring in

1728
01:19:43,860 --> 01:19:45,420
for sure in front of the school as well

1729
01:19:45,420 --> 01:19:47,580
if we can't make it all the way to Front

1730
01:19:47,580 --> 01:19:50,330
Street North

1731
01:19:50,340 --> 01:19:53,400
and just one more the Seymour Quarry

1732
01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:54,420
Road

1733
01:19:54,420 --> 01:19:55,260
um

1734
01:19:55,260 --> 01:19:56,699
there's a Zion you're looking at

1735
01:19:56,699 --> 01:19:58,500
hopefully that's going to be a very very

1736
01:19:58,500 --> 01:20:01,920
busy road in the next couple years what

1737
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:03,600
kind of a design are you looking at for

1738
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:05,640
there

1739
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:07,739
so what we're looking at right now the

1740
01:20:07,739 --> 01:20:10,380
primary focus of that project is to get

1741
01:20:10,380 --> 01:20:12,540
um servicing into the business park or

1742
01:20:12,540 --> 01:20:13,739
complete that servicing into the

1743
01:20:13,739 --> 01:20:15,540
business park so we're the main

1744
01:20:15,540 --> 01:20:17,280
component of this project is a trunk

1745
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:19,500
water main from Highway

1746
01:20:19,500 --> 01:20:22,739
30 up to Randy Gorge drive so we're not

1747
01:20:22,739 --> 01:20:26,400
anticipating anything budget wise

1748
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:28,620
replacing much more than water main it's

1749
01:20:28,620 --> 01:20:32,060
going to be very limited I guess

1750
01:20:32,060 --> 01:20:34,640
refurbishment of the road

1751
01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:36,480
required because we're actually putting

1752
01:20:36,480 --> 01:20:38,820
the water main very much on I guess it

1753
01:20:38,820 --> 01:20:41,640
would be the north shoulder of Seymour

1754
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:43,800
Quarry Road and then along with that we

1755
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:46,980
will provide servicing into the new

1756
01:20:46,980 --> 01:20:50,219
proposed lot for the Kelford reckon

1757
01:20:50,219 --> 01:20:52,199
Wellness Center so there'll be water and

1758
01:20:52,199 --> 01:20:54,060
sanitary included but most of that will

1759
01:20:54,060 --> 01:20:56,040
be all taking place off the road so so

1760
01:20:56,040 --> 01:20:58,260
the trunk line doesn't come down in

1761
01:20:58,260 --> 01:20:59,520
front of where the

1762
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:01,679
Wellness Center is going to go yes

1763
01:21:01,679 --> 01:21:03,239
that's where it is going to be on on

1764
01:21:03,239 --> 01:21:05,159
scene okay we're not there now it's not

1765
01:21:05,159 --> 01:21:07,140
there okay we need to we need to make

1766
01:21:07,140 --> 01:21:09,239
that Loop it'll it'll benefit many

1767
01:21:09,239 --> 01:21:10,679
things in the whole system but it's

1768
01:21:10,679 --> 01:21:12,300
definitely being brought into sort of

1769
01:21:12,300 --> 01:21:13,980
service that last portion of the

1770
01:21:13,980 --> 01:21:15,420
business part

1771
01:21:15,420 --> 01:21:16,620
okay

1772
01:21:16,620 --> 01:21:21,350
thank you

1773
01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:25,510
councilor savory

1774
01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:28,679
thank you clarification uh through the

1775
01:21:28,679 --> 01:21:32,100
through your worship Neil um there's how

1776
01:21:32,100 --> 01:21:34,940
many graders in in municipality

1777
01:21:34,940 --> 01:21:37,380
through your worship we have three

1778
01:21:37,380 --> 01:21:40,620
graders we have a 1990 Champion a 1995

1779
01:21:40,620 --> 01:21:44,040
champion and a 2017 John Deere

1780
01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:46,920
and we have 244 kilometers of gravel

1781
01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:50,219
road to maintain another 244 did we use

1782
01:21:50,219 --> 01:21:52,320
the greater every day every week every

1783
01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:55,020
month twice a year

1784
01:21:55,020 --> 01:21:58,020
um we use the graders especially in the

1785
01:21:58,020 --> 01:22:00,420
spring like I'm going to say March as

1786
01:22:00,420 --> 01:22:01,980
soon as the thought starts coming all

1787
01:22:01,980 --> 01:22:03,960
three are going and all three are going

1788
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:06,480
until at least the first of July weather

1789
01:22:06,480 --> 01:22:08,580
permitting if it's not raining or not to

1790
01:22:08,580 --> 01:22:10,020
get over them and then we end up going

1791
01:22:10,020 --> 01:22:11,880
over them again and then

1792
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:16,020
May to July is when we grade at gravel

1793
01:22:16,020 --> 01:22:18,420
and put the dust suppressant on so all

1794
01:22:18,420 --> 01:22:21,060
three are going then and then

1795
01:22:21,060 --> 01:22:23,040
um in the fall again like right now

1796
01:22:23,040 --> 01:22:25,199
there's some rough roads but we can't do

1797
01:22:25,199 --> 01:22:26,760
anything because of the weather we just

1798
01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:29,040
had but all three will be going as soon

1799
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:31,500
as the weather is permittable and do we

1800
01:22:31,500 --> 01:22:34,860
have three then greater operators yes we

1801
01:22:34,860 --> 01:22:38,120
have about seven greater operators okay

1802
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:41,159
and have we looked at in the past uh

1803
01:22:41,159 --> 01:22:43,800
considering that the The Grater is not

1804
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:46,800
running every day 365 but looking at

1805
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:49,560
possibly leasing equipment for that

1806
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:51,739
purpose spring and fall for the major

1807
01:22:51,739 --> 01:22:54,440
roads that have to be serviced and

1808
01:22:54,440 --> 01:22:58,020
repaired oh I'm about four or five years

1809
01:22:58,020 --> 01:23:00,060
ago we rented a grader because one of

1810
01:23:00,060 --> 01:23:02,219
ours was down and it cost us twenty five

1811
01:23:02,219 --> 01:23:04,860
thousand dollars for about six weeks

1812
01:23:04,860 --> 01:23:08,460
weeks okay and service agreements with

1813
01:23:08,460 --> 01:23:11,520
other municipalities or county has that

1814
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:13,080
ever been looked at as well that you can

1815
01:23:13,080 --> 01:23:16,020
offset each other help each other out

1816
01:23:16,020 --> 01:23:18,659
for cost savings as well

1817
01:23:18,659 --> 01:23:21,600
we haven't looked well I've looked at it

1818
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:23,820
but it isn't really feasible because

1819
01:23:23,820 --> 01:23:26,520
when the other municipality needs the

1820
01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:28,440
greater that's when we need the greater

1821
01:23:28,440 --> 01:23:30,540
so

1822
01:23:30,540 --> 01:23:32,699
it's pretty hard to do because a lot of

1823
01:23:32,699 --> 01:23:34,560
the municipalities are smaller than us

1824
01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:37,500
too the ones that are adjacent to us and

1825
01:23:37,500 --> 01:23:40,440
Boundary up with us and some of them

1826
01:23:40,440 --> 01:23:42,179
like Brighton Township has 30 some

1827
01:23:42,179 --> 01:23:43,980
kilometers of Road one greater but when

1828
01:23:43,980 --> 01:23:47,159
they need it it's going right

1829
01:23:47,159 --> 01:23:50,930
okay thank you

1830
01:23:50,940 --> 01:23:52,800
get your button Dennis yeah

1831
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:54,540
concert gettings

1832
01:23:54,540 --> 01:23:56,820
uh three year worship with the 95

1833
01:23:56,820 --> 01:23:58,260
Champion are we expecting to have the

1834
01:23:58,260 --> 01:24:02,330
same problem with that coming forward

1835
01:24:02,340 --> 01:24:04,500
through your worship uh the 95 Champion

1836
01:24:04,500 --> 01:24:07,739
graders the one we'd like to replace

1837
01:24:07,739 --> 01:24:10,380
um and we'll keep the 1990 because we

1838
01:24:10,380 --> 01:24:12,900
have done some major Rehab on it in the

1839
01:24:12,900 --> 01:24:15,300
last six seven years we had the circle

1840
01:24:15,300 --> 01:24:16,739
and everything in the motor was all

1841
01:24:16,739 --> 01:24:18,480
redone on that one

1842
01:24:18,480 --> 01:24:20,820
that time but now right now to get the

1843
01:24:20,820 --> 01:24:23,520
rehab and what we estimate to be done

1844
01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:27,060
it's going to cost probably 170 180 000

1845
01:24:27,060 --> 01:24:28,920
and when they get the rear end to our

1846
01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:30,480
part there's probably going to be more

1847
01:24:30,480 --> 01:24:32,520
things that they're going to say because

1848
01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:34,199
the hours on it

1849
01:24:34,199 --> 01:24:36,179
and it would be contracted to hope for

1850
01:24:36,179 --> 01:24:37,500
that

1851
01:24:37,500 --> 01:24:39,000
and then just to clarify because I think

1852
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:40,560
I might invest and you do use the

1853
01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:42,360
graders for snow removal as well or just

1854
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:45,719
road maintenance no we do not okay we do

1855
01:24:45,719 --> 01:24:47,880
use them for ice bleeding if it's a nice

1856
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:49,800
storm on our gravel roads and all three

1857
01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:52,320
could be going then for ice lately thank

1858
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:55,010
you

1859
01:24:55,020 --> 01:24:55,800
foreign

1860
01:24:55,800 --> 01:24:58,560
thank you I just wanted to add to those

1861
01:24:58,560 --> 01:25:00,239
two projects the Randy Street Renewal

1862
01:25:00,239 --> 01:25:01,920
and the Seymour Quarry Road in terms of

1863
01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:03,239
Grants

1864
01:25:03,239 --> 01:25:05,880
the Randy Street Renewal project is

1865
01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:08,280
scheduled to be funded partially through

1866
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:11,580
the 2022 ocif funding and a small

1867
01:25:11,580 --> 01:25:14,820
component of the the ccbf which is the

1868
01:25:14,820 --> 01:25:17,159
former gas tax and then Water and Sewer

1869
01:25:17,159 --> 01:25:19,739
reserves in terms of the Seymour Quarry

1870
01:25:19,739 --> 01:25:22,260
Road the grant Revenue that you're

1871
01:25:22,260 --> 01:25:25,920
seeing there is a part of a 2023

1872
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:28,620
allocation of ocif which has not yet

1873
01:25:28,620 --> 01:25:30,540
been confirmed by The Province we won't

1874
01:25:30,540 --> 01:25:33,540
ex we won't receive that confirmation of

1875
01:25:33,540 --> 01:25:35,100
that Grant Revenue until sometime in

1876
01:25:35,100 --> 01:25:38,040
December so you may see a change when we

1877
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:39,900
bring the next version of the budget

1878
01:25:39,900 --> 01:25:41,880
forward because we want to make sure

1879
01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:44,760
that that we clearly demonstrate what

1880
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:47,040
amount of that allocation first of all

1881
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:48,480
we want to know how much we're receiving

1882
01:25:48,480 --> 01:25:49,980
and then if what we're going to apply to

1883
01:25:49,980 --> 01:25:52,020
this project but it's worthy of noting

1884
01:25:52,020 --> 01:25:54,780
that this is all based on a the

1885
01:25:54,780 --> 01:25:56,100
assumption that we're going to receive

1886
01:25:56,100 --> 01:25:59,760
at least what we did in 2022.

1887
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:02,100
foreign

1888
01:26:02,100 --> 01:26:04,440
okay the next slide deals with Transit

1889
01:26:04,440 --> 01:26:06,420
and this is a regional transportation

1890
01:26:06,420 --> 01:26:08,040
it's a partnership agreement with

1891
01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:10,620
Community Care Northumberland they do

1892
01:26:10,620 --> 01:26:13,260
provide this service for us we receive

1893
01:26:13,260 --> 01:26:15,719
provincial gas tax revenue for this

1894
01:26:15,719 --> 01:26:18,620
service and so on a quarterly basis

1895
01:26:18,620 --> 01:26:22,679
the Community Care notifies us

1896
01:26:22,679 --> 01:26:25,920
and then we we remit those provincial

1897
01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:27,659
funds they flow through the municipality

1898
01:26:27,659 --> 01:26:29,940
over to that organization the

1899
01:26:29,940 --> 01:26:32,159
municipality does contribute from

1900
01:26:32,159 --> 01:26:34,340
Municipal tax dollars an amount of 45

1901
01:26:34,340 --> 01:26:37,080
500 on an annual basis in addition to

1902
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:39,060
the provincial gas tax revenue

1903
01:26:39,060 --> 01:26:41,280
and again

1904
01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:42,060
um

1905
01:26:42,060 --> 01:26:44,580
all of the all of the provincial gas tax

1906
01:26:44,580 --> 01:26:48,719
revenue that is uh calculated for this

1907
01:26:48,719 --> 01:26:51,239
purpose is based on statistics that are

1908
01:26:51,239 --> 01:26:53,580
at a high provincial level so the dollar

1909
01:26:53,580 --> 01:26:55,080
amount that you see in there as the

1910
01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:57,480
gross expense and the corresponding

1911
01:26:57,480 --> 01:26:59,400
revenue for provincial gas tax is

1912
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:01,440
subject to change once those amounts are

1913
01:27:01,440 --> 01:27:02,760
confirmed by The Province and we don't

1914
01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:04,580
expect that to be until probably later

1915
01:27:04,580 --> 01:27:06,900
this fall

1916
01:27:06,900 --> 01:27:09,600
into the possibly into December but so

1917
01:27:09,600 --> 01:27:12,980
it's totally an estimate it will change

1918
01:27:12,980 --> 01:27:18,470
uh Jeopardy

1919
01:27:18,480 --> 01:27:22,320
thank you worship uh Valerie you said

1920
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:25,860
the 45 500 comes from taxation on an

1921
01:27:25,860 --> 01:27:26,880
annual

1922
01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:29,040
uh basis when you look at the provincial

1923
01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:32,280
gas tax allocations that you have uh

1924
01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:36,239
here on page 37 the 2015 to 2021 they

1925
01:27:36,239 --> 01:27:40,800
fluctuate quite a bit what a portion is

1926
01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:43,020
is also is taken

1927
01:27:43,020 --> 01:27:45,780
for the transit program from Community

1928
01:27:45,780 --> 01:27:47,600
Care Northumberland

1929
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:52,199
does it vary every year or like is do

1930
01:27:52,199 --> 01:27:53,880
they get a hundred percent of the

1931
01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:56,280
provincial gas tax allocation

1932
01:27:56,280 --> 01:27:59,340
or is there some left over I'm just

1933
01:27:59,340 --> 01:28:00,540
not

1934
01:28:00,540 --> 01:28:03,719
100 sure on when when the gas tax

1935
01:28:03,719 --> 01:28:05,760
allocation fluctuates so much does that

1936
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:08,340
mean that the transit program also

1937
01:28:08,340 --> 01:28:10,380
fluctuates

1938
01:28:10,380 --> 01:28:12,840
um through your worship so I I'm not as

1939
01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:14,460
intimately familiar with how the program

1940
01:28:14,460 --> 01:28:16,620
runs but yes they are made aware of the

1941
01:28:16,620 --> 01:28:18,480
allocation and so I I assume that they

1942
01:28:18,480 --> 01:28:21,300
have to adjust either their program or

1943
01:28:21,300 --> 01:28:22,860
they have to look for other sources of

1944
01:28:22,860 --> 01:28:27,179
revenue to offset the cost and so um

1945
01:28:27,179 --> 01:28:29,760
yeah I'm not I can't speak to how they

1946
01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:32,159
they look at those numbers but yeah it's

1947
01:28:32,159 --> 01:28:34,280
based on as I say the provincial gas tax

1948
01:28:34,280 --> 01:28:37,020
amount fluctuates based on ridership and

1949
01:28:37,020 --> 01:28:39,659
a whole bunch of other criteria and um

1950
01:28:39,659 --> 01:28:42,120
yeah I can certainly ask that question

1951
01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:43,679
of them as to how they deal with those

1952
01:28:43,679 --> 01:28:45,840
types of fluctuations when

1953
01:28:45,840 --> 01:28:47,520
when the grant revenues never really

1954
01:28:47,520 --> 01:28:49,560
certain year to year yeah because the

1955
01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:54,239
comparison say of 2017 where it was 108

1956
01:28:54,239 --> 01:28:59,460
000 and 2021 where it was 38 000 there's

1957
01:28:59,460 --> 01:29:01,020
quite a difference between what was

1958
01:29:01,020 --> 01:29:03,719
taken in on a gas tax for

1959
01:29:03,719 --> 01:29:06,420
for those years there was one year that

1960
01:29:06,420 --> 01:29:09,120
there was a capital a capital vehicle

1961
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:11,580
purchased and that is probably in 2017

1962
01:29:11,580 --> 01:29:14,400
when you see it jump up so there are

1963
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:16,920
certain circumstances where we can apply

1964
01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:19,380
for additional funding on behalf of that

1965
01:29:19,380 --> 01:29:21,480
organization when we actually have an

1966
01:29:21,480 --> 01:29:23,580
application I believe we brought forward

1967
01:29:23,580 --> 01:29:26,580
um a report to council there is uh

1968
01:29:26,580 --> 01:29:28,739
additional funds that we can access for

1969
01:29:28,739 --> 01:29:31,320
them to acquire a vehicle

1970
01:29:31,320 --> 01:29:33,300
because the program runs through the

1971
01:29:33,300 --> 01:29:35,699
municipality technically we we receive

1972
01:29:35,699 --> 01:29:38,580
the funds therefore when they need a new

1973
01:29:38,580 --> 01:29:41,460
vehicle it's our responsibility to um to

1974
01:29:41,460 --> 01:29:43,199
go to the market and try to source that

1975
01:29:43,199 --> 01:29:45,420
vehicle with their input of course so so

1976
01:29:45,420 --> 01:29:46,800
that's probably the spike that you're

1977
01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:48,840
seeing there with the revenue coming in

1978
01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:51,960
from provincial gas tax

1979
01:29:51,960 --> 01:29:54,540
so just to clarify that the provincial

1980
01:29:54,540 --> 01:29:57,659
gas tax allocation is more of a uh

1981
01:29:57,659 --> 01:30:00,780
request from the transit program it's

1982
01:30:00,780 --> 01:30:03,900
not an allocation from The Province The

1983
01:30:03,900 --> 01:30:05,639
Province doesn't necessarily

1984
01:30:05,639 --> 01:30:08,280
say it's not like the um you know the

1985
01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:10,440
ocif or the

1986
01:30:10,440 --> 01:30:13,320
or the building fund

1987
01:30:13,320 --> 01:30:17,100
am I correct in that

1988
01:30:17,100 --> 01:30:19,620
The Province definitely uh determines

1989
01:30:19,620 --> 01:30:22,260
what the allocation is so it's not at

1990
01:30:22,260 --> 01:30:25,080
the request of the service provider at

1991
01:30:25,080 --> 01:30:26,820
all again it's based on statistical

1992
01:30:26,820 --> 01:30:29,580
ridership and different factors so again

1993
01:30:29,580 --> 01:30:32,219
it's really it tends to fluctuate I'm

1994
01:30:32,219 --> 01:30:34,139
not sure they did provide a number of

1995
01:30:34,139 --> 01:30:35,760
grant opportunities throughout the

1996
01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:37,320
pandemic because of course nobody was

1997
01:30:37,320 --> 01:30:40,380
utilizing the services but um

1998
01:30:40,380 --> 01:30:43,320
yeah we'll we'll update you on on the

1999
01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:55,669
actual amount when we know that okay

2000
01:30:55,679 --> 01:30:56,239
okay

2001
01:30:56,239 --> 01:30:58,860
so the next area of service that we're

2002
01:30:58,860 --> 01:31:01,080
discussing are storm sewers and drainage

2003
01:31:01,080 --> 01:31:03,239
and I'm going to turn it over again to

2004
01:31:03,239 --> 01:31:07,790
Neil who is uh can speak to those

2005
01:31:07,800 --> 01:31:10,679
with the storm sewer uh there isn't a

2006
01:31:10,679 --> 01:31:13,860
whole lot of changes except for uh some

2007
01:31:13,860 --> 01:31:16,440
capital of twenty five thousand dollars

2008
01:31:16,440 --> 01:31:19,280
and that is to start a storm water

2009
01:31:19,280 --> 01:31:22,080
master plan

2010
01:31:22,080 --> 01:31:25,980
um the province is talking about having

2011
01:31:25,980 --> 01:31:29,400
each municipality having a storm water

2012
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:34,139
master plan in place by 2025 so we

2013
01:31:34,139 --> 01:31:36,360
wanted to get started in 25

2014
01:31:36,360 --> 01:31:38,280
000 we'll start we'll have to have a

2015
01:31:38,280 --> 01:31:40,080
consultant and everything do that so

2016
01:31:40,080 --> 01:31:43,440
we're going to look into starting that

2017
01:31:43,440 --> 01:31:48,729
plan

2018
01:31:48,739 --> 01:31:51,540
thank you and just to uh just to note

2019

2020
01:31:53,820 --> 01:31:56,699

2021
01:31:56,699 --> 01:31:58,860
it's distributed within the public works

2022
01:31:58,860 --> 01:32:01,020
department those staff wages are

2023

01:32:05,340 --> 01:32:07,020
and

2026
01:32:07,020 --> 01:32:09,060
um camera work I guess is done as well

2027
01:32:09,060 --> 01:32:10,620
so

2028
01:32:10,620 --> 01:32:12,840
under the contracted services

2029
01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:14,699
did you have anything to add about any

2030
01:32:14,699 --> 01:32:17,450
of that

2031
01:32:17,460 --> 01:32:19,980
um do you worship the biggest part of

2032
01:32:19,980 --> 01:32:21,540
the stormwater with the contracted

2033
01:32:21,540 --> 01:32:24,000
Services is for catch Basin cleaning so

2034
01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:26,280
approximately 800 catch basins a year

2035
01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:29,520
and that's where the contracted services

2036
01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:32,340
funding is where wages are

2037
01:32:32,340 --> 01:32:36,470
for that

2038
01:32:36,480 --> 01:32:38,639
thank you next area of service is

2039
01:32:38,639 --> 01:32:40,679
environmental or solid waste disposal

2040
01:32:40,679 --> 01:32:42,780
this relates to landfill and transfer

2041
01:32:42,780 --> 01:32:45,900
station services and we do have um

2042
01:32:45,900 --> 01:32:47,880
I'm going to let Scott speak to this but

2043
01:32:47,880 --> 01:32:49,920
we do have a nominal amount in there for

2044
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:52,440
monitoring costs and Scott will turn it

2045
01:32:52,440 --> 01:32:54,659
over to you

2046
01:32:54,659 --> 01:32:58,020
thanks Valerie um yeah the costs here

2047
01:32:58,020 --> 01:32:59,520
nothing has changed much it has gone

2048
01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:01,800
down we're going to a uh although the

2049
01:33:01,800 --> 01:33:03,780
monitoring continues with the landfill

2050
01:33:03,780 --> 01:33:06,120
it's it's going to be backed with every

2051
01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:07,620
three year reporting back to the

2052
01:33:07,620 --> 01:33:09,960
ministry so this is for the old landfill

2053
01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:11,880
that's basically been closed in that

2054
01:33:11,880 --> 01:33:13,260
business park

2055
01:33:13,260 --> 01:33:14,159
um

2056
01:33:14,159 --> 01:33:23,219
20 counselor English

2057
01:33:23,219 --> 01:33:26,400
okay Mr Mayor the county host fee has it

2058
01:33:26,400 --> 01:33:28,980
changed at all

2059
01:33:28,980 --> 01:33:32,209
ever

2060
01:33:32,219 --> 01:33:33,719
um I can address that question through

2061
01:33:33,719 --> 01:33:34,860
your worship

2062
01:33:34,860 --> 01:33:36,719
um it has actually

2063
01:33:36,719 --> 01:33:39,659
um uh it's the well the municipality has

2064
01:33:39,659 --> 01:33:41,460
a five-year agreement that has just

2065
01:33:41,460 --> 01:33:43,980
expired actually with the county

2066
01:33:43,980 --> 01:33:46,679
um to uh compensate us for hosting

2067
01:33:46,679 --> 01:33:49,199
Seymour landfill so um the previous

2068
01:33:49,199 --> 01:33:51,120
five-year agreement was slightly less so

2069
01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:52,679
there is a minimum amount that's paid

2070
01:33:52,679 --> 01:33:54,420
every year I think it was 2 000

2071
01:33:54,420 --> 01:33:56,580
something that previous agreement this

2072
01:33:56,580 --> 01:33:59,159
agreement I think it's 3 600 and then

2073
01:33:59,159 --> 01:34:02,880
there's additional cost paid for the

2074
01:34:02,880 --> 01:34:05,940
amount of waste that's delivered to that

2075
01:34:05,940 --> 01:34:08,460
station every year so

2076
01:34:08,460 --> 01:34:10,679
um we did look into it I guess probably

2077
01:34:10,679 --> 01:34:13,020
around this time last year because the

2078
01:34:13,020 --> 01:34:15,780
county has an identical agreement with

2079
01:34:15,780 --> 01:34:18,300
two other municipalities that have a

2080
01:34:18,300 --> 01:34:20,360
transfer station or recycling Depots Etc

2081
01:34:20,360 --> 01:34:22,020
so

2082
01:34:22,020 --> 01:34:23,940
um it will be sort of a group

2083
01:34:23,940 --> 01:34:26,040
negotiation because the terms are

2084
01:34:26,040 --> 01:34:28,139
identical I believe for the other

2085
01:34:28,139 --> 01:34:30,480
municipalities that as well so it is

2086
01:34:30,480 --> 01:34:31,800
something we'll Endeavor to get sorted

2087
01:34:31,800 --> 01:34:34,440
out this year and um

2088
01:34:34,440 --> 01:34:37,139
hopefully have some more favorable terms

2089
01:34:37,139 --> 01:34:38,760
for the municipality because it's really

2090
01:34:38,760 --> 01:34:41,639
the intention of that is

2091
01:34:41,639 --> 01:34:43,560
you know to assist with any additional

2092
01:34:43,560 --> 01:34:45,300
costs that we would be incurred because

2093
01:34:45,300 --> 01:34:47,219
it is here so they talk about things

2094
01:34:47,219 --> 01:34:49,139
like you know waste collection along the

2095
01:34:49,139 --> 01:34:50,699
side of the road wear and tear on the

2096
01:34:50,699 --> 01:34:52,980
road and those types of things so the

2097
01:34:52,980 --> 01:34:54,900
amount that is provided

2098
01:34:54,900 --> 01:34:55,920
um

2099
01:34:55,920 --> 01:34:58,980
you know maybe isn't uh

2100
01:34:58,980 --> 01:35:01,440
for those types of things so

2101
01:35:01,440 --> 01:35:04,260
good thanks

2102
01:35:04,260 --> 01:35:06,120
councilor savory

2103
01:35:06,120 --> 01:35:08,820
yes your worship uh does anyone here

2104
01:35:08,820 --> 01:35:10,920
know if the Hastings landfill site the

2105
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:12,780
old site that was closed I understand

2106
01:35:12,780 --> 01:35:14,820
it's owned by the county or monitored by

2107
01:35:14,820 --> 01:35:16,199
the county

2108
01:35:16,199 --> 01:35:19,440
is there any ongoing maintenance or an

2109
01:35:19,440 --> 01:35:21,840
ongoing monitoring at all because I

2110
01:35:21,840 --> 01:35:23,280
haven't seen any

2111
01:35:23,280 --> 01:35:25,739
any uh activity there and I also know

2112
01:35:25,739 --> 01:35:27,780
that it's there's a water catchment area

2113
01:35:27,780 --> 01:35:33,590
as well in that same area

2114
01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:35,639
as far as I know it's it's a county it's

2115
01:35:35,639 --> 01:35:37,320
the county takes care of they they

2116
01:35:37,320 --> 01:35:39,840
assume that when it was closed so as far

2117
01:35:39,840 --> 01:35:41,880
as I know they do whatever monitoring I

2118
01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:43,100
know we don't

2119
01:35:43,100 --> 01:35:45,900
did we ever get a report to state that

2120
01:35:45,900 --> 01:35:47,940
Patron hell's everything looks good or

2121
01:35:47,940 --> 01:35:50,219
are we are a bit of concern with some of

2122
01:35:50,219 --> 01:35:52,020
the stuff infiltrating some of our

2123
01:35:52,020 --> 01:35:55,500
neighbors and such doing them

2124
01:35:55,500 --> 01:36:00,050
I not that I'm aware of

2125
01:36:00,060 --> 01:36:02,820
um we could uh you know we can request

2126
01:36:02,820 --> 01:36:04,199
that from the county

2127
01:36:04,199 --> 01:36:07,679
um so uh we'll make a note and get an

2128
01:36:07,679 --> 01:36:16,790
answer okay yeah

2129
01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:18,239
so the next area of service is

2130
01:36:18,239 --> 01:36:20,460
cemeteries and these relate to burials

2131
01:36:20,460 --> 01:36:22,560
and internments within active cemeteries

2132
01:36:22,560 --> 01:36:24,659
which are within workworth known as

2133
01:36:24,659 --> 01:36:27,840
workworth and stone cemeteries I'm going

2134
01:36:27,840 --> 01:36:30,780
to just speak to the um

2135
01:36:30,780 --> 01:36:32,340
just the notes here and then I'm going

2136
01:36:32,340 --> 01:36:34,320
to turn it over to the clerk and if

2137
01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:36,900
Peter has any comments as well we do

2138
01:36:36,900 --> 01:36:38,639
have a cost of living adjustment and

2139
01:36:38,639 --> 01:36:40,440
some of the staff time that I spoke

2140
01:36:40,440 --> 01:36:42,360
about very early on in the budget

2141
01:36:42,360 --> 01:36:44,340
presentation there is an allocation of

2142
01:36:44,340 --> 01:36:47,460
Staff time allocated to cemeteries and

2143
01:36:47,460 --> 01:36:49,620
so part of the Parks and Recreation

2144
01:36:49,620 --> 01:36:52,560
staff complement is fanned out to those

2145
01:36:52,560 --> 01:36:54,120
cemeteries for maintenance and so that's

2146
01:36:54,120 --> 01:36:56,159
where you're seeing some of the cost

2147
01:36:56,159 --> 01:36:58,199
and at this time I'm just going to turn

2148
01:36:58,199 --> 01:37:02,510
it over to the clerk for comments

2149
01:37:02,520 --> 01:37:05,940
so the clerk's office looks after

2150
01:37:05,940 --> 01:37:08,460
arranging for all of the burials Etc

2151
01:37:08,460 --> 01:37:12,800
while the recreation staff look after

2152
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:15,480
being present for the opening and

2153
01:37:15,480 --> 01:37:16,920
closing of the graves and the

2154
01:37:16,920 --> 01:37:20,520
maintenance of the cemeteries

2155
01:37:20,520 --> 01:37:21,239
um

2156
01:37:21,239 --> 01:37:24,659
as Council returning members of council

2157
01:37:24,659 --> 01:37:26,460
will have seen we've had the columbarium

2158
01:37:26,460 --> 01:37:29,940
on the budget for a number of years and

2159
01:37:29,940 --> 01:37:32,520
it keeps getting carried forward we are

2160
01:37:32,520 --> 01:37:34,500
continuing to work with our surveyor

2161
01:37:34,500 --> 01:37:37,260
because before we can install a column

2162
01:37:37,260 --> 01:37:38,280
barium

2163
01:37:38,280 --> 01:37:40,620
we have to have

2164
01:37:40,620 --> 01:37:44,159
the cemetery relayed and approved by the

2165
01:37:44,159 --> 01:37:46,620
bereavement authority of Ontario we have

2166
01:37:46,620 --> 01:37:48,420
been working through this process and

2167
01:37:48,420 --> 01:37:50,580
unfortunately the survey process has not

2168
01:37:50,580 --> 01:37:53,460
gone as quickly as we'd hoped so we are

2169
01:37:53,460 --> 01:37:55,080
optimistic that we'll be in a position

2170
01:37:55,080 --> 01:37:57,780
for 2023 to actually get a columbarium

2171
01:37:57,780 --> 01:38:00,300
installed to provide another internment

2172
01:38:00,300 --> 01:38:02,520
option for individuals

2173
01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:05,580
we are also looking at some additional

2174
01:38:05,580 --> 01:38:08,280
roads being tarred and chipped inside of

2175
01:38:08,280 --> 01:38:13,340
the cemetery we have reached capacity on

2176
01:38:13,340 --> 01:38:17,520
phase section A of the newest part of

2177
01:38:17,520 --> 01:38:20,940
the cemetery and have been selling lots

2178
01:38:20,940 --> 01:38:24,120
in section B so we're looking at some

2179
01:38:24,120 --> 01:38:25,440
additional

2180
01:38:25,440 --> 01:38:30,360
chip of the roads inside the cemetery as

2181
01:38:30,360 --> 01:38:34,800
well once we can have the approved

2182
01:38:34,800 --> 01:38:35,659
um

2183
01:38:35,659 --> 01:38:39,000
relay of the cemetery we will be looking

2184
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:41,580
at a concept plan for a scattering

2185
01:38:41,580 --> 01:38:43,739
ground again to provide another option

2186
01:38:43,739 --> 01:38:46,679
for individuals down the road once we

2187
01:38:46,679 --> 01:38:48,420
can get that area approved we'll look at

2188
01:38:48,420 --> 01:38:50,219
a concept plan and then we'll start into

2189
01:38:50,219 --> 01:38:52,440
the development that will then be able

2190
01:38:52,440 --> 01:38:57,890
to start selling scattering rights

2191
01:38:57,900 --> 01:39:00,080
thank you Doug through you you worship

2192
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:03,540
the cemeteries are kind of a joint

2193
01:39:03,540 --> 01:39:05,040
operation between the clerk's department

2194
01:39:05,040 --> 01:39:06,739
and Parks and Recreation

2195
01:39:06,739 --> 01:39:09,659
there's about nine cemeteries that we

2196
01:39:09,659 --> 01:39:10,920
look after

2197
01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:13,260
two of which are active that those being

2198
01:39:13,260 --> 01:39:15,480
work worth in stone Cemetery work with

2199
01:39:15,480 --> 01:39:18,179
kind of two cemeteries in one

2200
01:39:18,179 --> 01:39:19,139
um

2201
01:39:19,139 --> 01:39:22,199
so all maintenance of the cemeteries

2202
01:39:22,199 --> 01:39:25,760
from tree removal Road repair

2203
01:39:25,760 --> 01:39:28,800
regular cutting trimming of all the

2204
01:39:28,800 --> 01:39:31,679
cemeteries even the inactive ones it

2205
01:39:31,679 --> 01:39:33,360
falls to the responsibility of the Parks

2206
01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:34,739
and Recreation staff

2207
01:39:34,739 --> 01:39:39,600
the increase to the wage line over and

2208
01:39:39,600 --> 01:39:42,780
above the cost of living increase is for

2209
01:39:42,780 --> 01:39:44,340
us to be able to train some of our

2210
01:39:44,340 --> 01:39:48,739
part-time staff we actually excavate

2211
01:39:48,739 --> 01:39:51,139
burials for

2212
01:39:51,139 --> 01:39:54,900
cremations our staff do the digging and

2213
01:39:54,900 --> 01:39:57,659
then we we wait on site and then

2214
01:39:57,659 --> 01:40:01,159
close after so there's some training

2215
01:40:01,159 --> 01:40:05,219
involved in that another component from

2216
01:40:05,219 --> 01:40:07,920
our staff is the investigation of of all

2217
01:40:07,920 --> 01:40:09,840
of the cemetery records when someone

2218
01:40:09,840 --> 01:40:11,699
inquires about buying

2219
01:40:11,699 --> 01:40:14,100
a lot or a plot

2220
01:40:14,100 --> 01:40:16,440
trying to go through all of the historic

2221
01:40:16,440 --> 01:40:19,320
records which is a pretty significant

2222
01:40:19,320 --> 01:40:21,960
task to determine what's actually

2223
01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:23,760
accurate on the ground and available for

2224
01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:29,040
sale and the the other component is as

2225
01:40:29,040 --> 01:40:32,699
we expand the new Cemetery

2226
01:40:32,699 --> 01:40:35,340
our staff also put in all the

2227
01:40:35,340 --> 01:40:37,320
cornerstones for every burial as well as

2228
01:40:37,320 --> 01:40:38,340
any other

2229
01:40:38,340 --> 01:40:40,980
cremation markers or footstones those

2230
01:40:40,980 --> 01:40:43,560
kind of things so that's reflected in

2231
01:40:43,560 --> 01:40:45,960
the increase in the uh in the wage and

2232
01:40:45,960 --> 01:40:48,179
benefits line there that you'll see the

2233
01:40:48,179 --> 01:40:50,820
other item that Doug didn't touch on was

2234
01:40:50,820 --> 01:40:52,980
the wall repair so we have a retaining

2235
01:40:52,980 --> 01:40:55,980
wall that's extremely old that's holding

2236
01:40:55,980 --> 01:40:58,940
back an old plot that's full

2237
01:40:58,940 --> 01:41:02,100
a plot being eight Lots individual

2238
01:41:02,100 --> 01:41:05,340
burials that is has been cracking and

2239
01:41:05,340 --> 01:41:06,960
falling

2240
01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:08,100
um

2241
01:41:08,100 --> 01:41:09,659
it's been a number of years trying to

2242
01:41:09,659 --> 01:41:12,239
figure out how we can repair that

2243
01:41:12,239 --> 01:41:14,040
without disturbing anything else that's

2244
01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:15,239
right around it if you could imagine

2245
01:41:15,239 --> 01:41:18,420
it's quite sensitive so we do have a

2246
01:41:18,420 --> 01:41:20,040
plan right now we're just waiting on a

2247
01:41:20,040 --> 01:41:21,860
costing with a contractor

2248
01:41:21,860 --> 01:41:24,260
to see if we can

2249
01:41:24,260 --> 01:41:28,100
hold it from where from falling

2250
01:41:28,100 --> 01:41:31,380
and then we'll assess the situation and

2251
01:41:31,380 --> 01:41:33,000
see if there's any other Landscaping can

2252
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:34,560
be done to

2253
01:41:34,560 --> 01:41:36,540
you know just to improve the Aesthetics

2254
01:41:36,540 --> 01:41:39,000
if that's required so that's a carryover

2255
01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:41,460
for for uh from last year from this year

2256
01:41:41,460 --> 01:41:47,209
into the 2023 proposed budget

2257
01:41:47,219 --> 01:41:52,450
thank you

2258
01:41:52,460 --> 01:41:55,260
the other thing I forgot to mention is

2259
01:41:55,260 --> 01:41:58,679
we will be looking at new software to

2260
01:41:58,679 --> 01:42:01,139
manage all of the records associated

2261
01:42:01,139 --> 01:42:03,540
with the various burials and internment

2262
01:42:03,540 --> 01:42:04,679
rights

2263
01:42:04,679 --> 01:42:07,380
this has been flagged before this is

2264
01:42:07,380 --> 01:42:09,780
part of this is one of the

2265
01:42:09,780 --> 01:42:13,100
recommendations coming out of the

2266
01:42:13,100 --> 01:42:16,400
Cemetery modernization

2267
01:42:16,400 --> 01:42:21,300
report that we had done back in 2019

2268
01:42:21,300 --> 01:42:27,470
2020.

2269
01:42:27,480 --> 01:42:29,400
thank you the only other comment that I

2270
01:42:29,400 --> 01:42:30,840
would just like to make and you can see

2271
01:42:30,840 --> 01:42:34,020
that on page 43 is that we in the past

2272
01:42:34,020 --> 01:42:37,020
years had uh line items for as a

2273
01:42:37,020 --> 01:42:38,520
transfer to reserve for future

2274
01:42:38,520 --> 01:42:41,460
development of of these cemeteries and

2275
01:42:41,460 --> 01:42:42,659
there was a line item in there for

2276
01:42:42,659 --> 01:42:44,760
abandonments we have again in an effort

2277
01:42:44,760 --> 01:42:47,400
to uh reviewing the reserve that we have

2278
01:42:47,400 --> 01:42:48,840
and then in an effort to try to reduce

2279
01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:51,480
the tax levy requirement we've removed

2280
01:42:51,480 --> 01:42:53,159
those two items because we feel that the

2281
01:42:53,159 --> 01:42:55,440
current Reserve is sufficient to fund uh

2282
01:42:55,440 --> 01:42:56,940
some of the capital projects that we

2283
01:42:56,940 --> 01:43:00,000
have coming forward

2284
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:02,410
foreign

2285
01:43:02,420 --> 01:43:04,619
next area of services Parks and

2286
01:43:04,619 --> 01:43:06,900
Recreation including Parks sport fields

2287
01:43:06,900 --> 01:43:10,320
and Recreation facilities and I will now

2288
01:43:10,320 --> 01:43:14,460
turn it over to Peter to speak to those

2289
01:43:14,460 --> 01:43:17,060
thank you Valerie through your worship

2290
01:43:17,060 --> 01:43:21,480
the the operating budget for the parks

2291
01:43:21,480 --> 01:43:23,940
recreation facilities Department as you

2292
01:43:23,940 --> 01:43:26,820
can see on the first slide is is showing

2293
01:43:26,820 --> 01:43:29,820
a slight decrease in in the taxation

2294
01:43:29,820 --> 01:43:32,100
level over last year or this current

2295
01:43:32,100 --> 01:43:33,420
year

2296
01:43:33,420 --> 01:43:35,760
the transfer of Reserve I'll go into

2297
01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:37,500
that a little bit more in depth on the

2298
01:43:37,500 --> 01:43:39,840
next next slide

2299
01:43:39,840 --> 01:43:43,020
to explain the the difference year over

2300
01:43:43,020 --> 01:43:46,199
year for that the capital of ask is

2301
01:43:46,199 --> 01:43:48,300
Remains the Same

2302
01:43:48,300 --> 01:43:53,460
um at 150 000 and so all of that results

2303
01:43:53,460 --> 01:43:56,940
in a year-over-year increase of 138

2304
01:43:56,940 --> 01:43:59,159
thousand

2305
01:43:59,159 --> 01:44:03,360
large part of of the increase there's a

2306
01:44:03,360 --> 01:44:05,699
number of there's basically four main if

2307
01:44:05,699 --> 01:44:07,440
you go back to the very beginning of

2308
01:44:07,440 --> 01:44:09,719
Valerie's presentation there's a number

2309
01:44:09,719 --> 01:44:11,880
of factors that impact all of our

2310
01:44:11,880 --> 01:44:14,340
budgets uh and for for parks and rec in

2311
01:44:14,340 --> 01:44:17,580
particular there's four main ones that

2312
01:44:17,580 --> 01:44:19,920
always seem to be uh you know top of

2313
01:44:19,920 --> 01:44:22,020
line when it comes to trying to manage

2314
01:44:22,020 --> 01:44:23,699
the budget and present something to

2315
01:44:23,699 --> 01:44:27,060
council wage and benefits being always

2316
01:44:27,060 --> 01:44:30,080
one of the the highest levels there

2317
01:44:30,080 --> 01:44:34,199
utilities being hydro and so on is

2318
01:44:34,199 --> 01:44:35,540
significant

2319
01:44:35,540 --> 01:44:38,820
water rates that we that we use in our

2320
01:44:38,820 --> 01:44:41,580
facilities if you can imagine making ice

2321
01:44:41,580 --> 01:44:43,320
for an example it uses a tremendous

2322
01:44:43,320 --> 01:44:44,540
amount of water

2323
01:44:44,540 --> 01:44:47,760
and and that results as a line on our

2324
01:44:47,760 --> 01:44:48,719
budget

2325
01:44:48,719 --> 01:44:51,060
and also insurance insurance in our

2326
01:44:51,060 --> 01:44:52,679
department has gone up significantly

2327
01:44:52,679 --> 01:44:55,440
over the last year and over the last

2328
01:44:55,440 --> 01:44:57,179
three years a

2329
01:44:57,179 --> 01:44:59,100
considerable amount

2330
01:44:59,100 --> 01:45:01,440
and the the operation of crowbridge Park

2331
01:45:01,440 --> 01:45:03,239
this being the second year moving

2332
01:45:03,239 --> 01:45:06,739
forward in 2023 is an additional

2333
01:45:06,739 --> 01:45:10,020
facility that we it was operating at a

2334
01:45:10,020 --> 01:45:11,940
higher level than what we have done for

2335
01:45:11,940 --> 01:45:15,000
the last 10 or 12 years so that is

2336
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:17,159
reflected in our operating budget as

2337
01:45:17,159 --> 01:45:18,480
well

2338
01:45:18,480 --> 01:45:21,780
the uh we are proposing

2339
01:45:21,780 --> 01:45:24,960
um the addition of one and a half uh

2340
01:45:24,960 --> 01:45:27,960
equivalent full-time staff it isn't that

2341
01:45:27,960 --> 01:45:31,500
on paper it's uh two part-time staff uh

2342
01:45:31,500 --> 01:45:33,719
and then when we hired just uh last

2343
01:45:33,719 --> 01:45:36,420
month it was the increase of a half of a

2344
01:45:36,420 --> 01:45:39,840
position that resulting from bringing on

2345
01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:42,900
a staff that was part was half Neil

2346
01:45:42,900 --> 01:45:45,600
staff and half my staff in that position

2347
01:45:45,600 --> 01:45:48,840
worked into that half uh that 0.5 of a

2348
01:45:48,840 --> 01:45:51,300
full-time position

2349
01:45:51,300 --> 01:45:53,760
um and then as I had mentioned uh

2350
01:45:53,760 --> 01:45:55,500
bringing on two additional part-time

2351
01:45:55,500 --> 01:45:58,500
staff so just for the benefit of of

2352
01:45:58,500 --> 01:46:00,000
council

2353
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:02,580
our department is run using three

2354
01:46:02,580 --> 01:46:04,440
different types of Staffing we have

2355
01:46:04,440 --> 01:46:06,300
full-time staff which includes lead

2356
01:46:06,300 --> 01:46:09,260
hands in each in each Center

2357
01:46:09,260 --> 01:46:12,659
part-time staff which operate to fill in

2358
01:46:12,659 --> 01:46:15,179
when needed and that could be anywhere

2359
01:46:15,179 --> 01:46:18,179
from zero hours to 40 hours a week and

2360
01:46:18,179 --> 01:46:21,900
then in the summer we have students that

2361
01:46:21,900 --> 01:46:24,960
we that we bring on to help bring up the

2362
01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:26,340
Staffing level so that we can maintain

2363
01:46:26,340 --> 01:46:28,800
the municipality at the standard that

2364
01:46:28,800 --> 01:46:31,380
we're charged with

2365
01:46:31,380 --> 01:46:34,920
um and with the part-time staff the

2366
01:46:34,920 --> 01:46:36,900
challenge also is many of these people

2367
01:46:36,900 --> 01:46:38,520
have additional jobs

2368
01:46:38,520 --> 01:46:40,199
or some may be retired that are only

2369
01:46:40,199 --> 01:46:44,159
available certain times so for our staff

2370
01:46:44,159 --> 01:46:45,960
to schedule

2371
01:46:45,960 --> 01:46:48,540
um and try to find coverage for the

2372
01:46:48,540 --> 01:46:50,820
facilities we need to have a certain

2373
01:46:50,820 --> 01:46:52,860
amount of part-time staff available in

2374
01:46:52,860 --> 01:46:55,139
that bank if you will to draw from to

2375
01:46:55,139 --> 01:46:57,119
fill the complement of hours that we

2376
01:46:57,119 --> 01:46:59,300
need to operate our facilities

2377
01:46:59,300 --> 01:47:01,619
and then as you can imagine with sick

2378
01:47:01,619 --> 01:47:05,159
time vacation or maternity leave or

2379
01:47:05,159 --> 01:47:07,139
paternity leave we end up in situations

2380
01:47:07,139 --> 01:47:09,420
where we have a deficit of staff and

2381
01:47:09,420 --> 01:47:11,940
need to fill those those positions and

2382
01:47:11,940 --> 01:47:16,070
that's where we find ourselves and

2383
01:47:16,080 --> 01:47:19,800
um from a materials and supplies we've

2384
01:47:19,800 --> 01:47:22,400
done nominal increases and decreases

2385
01:47:22,400 --> 01:47:27,800
just based on past trends of past years

2386
01:47:27,800 --> 01:47:30,480
decreasing Tippy tipping fees for when

2387
01:47:30,480 --> 01:47:32,100
we do garbage collection for an example

2388
01:47:32,100 --> 01:47:33,900
of you know a nominal two thousand

2389
01:47:33,900 --> 01:47:36,239
dollars just to reflect what our actuals

2390
01:47:36,239 --> 01:47:37,440
are

2391
01:47:37,440 --> 01:47:40,739
um in year over year previous

2392
01:47:40,739 --> 01:47:43,800
and small increases such as additional

2393
01:47:43,800 --> 01:47:45,719
signs in crowbridge park and decreases

2394
01:47:45,719 --> 01:47:47,219
in Kennedy Park

2395
01:47:47,219 --> 01:47:49,739
um you know that being 250 increase in a

2396
01:47:49,739 --> 01:47:52,800
200 decrease so we look at all of the

2397
01:47:52,800 --> 01:47:55,020
Lines within the budget very closely to

2398
01:47:55,020 --> 01:47:56,880
see where we can save and where we might

2399
01:47:56,880 --> 01:47:58,739
need a little bit more and every year we

2400
01:47:58,739 --> 01:48:01,679
propose shifts through the finance

2401
01:48:01,679 --> 01:48:04,679
department to reflect those uh those

2402
01:48:04,679 --> 01:48:08,340
needs where where they're required

2403
01:48:08,340 --> 01:48:10,139
um from a contrasting Services

2404
01:48:10,139 --> 01:48:13,320
perspective of course insurance is a

2405
01:48:13,320 --> 01:48:15,239
large one as I mentioned so for us it's

2406
01:48:15,239 --> 01:48:17,280
going up just under twenty thousand

2407
01:48:17,280 --> 01:48:20,159
dollars uh this year

2408
01:48:20,159 --> 01:48:22,860
um and then we've decreased uh some

2409
01:48:22,860 --> 01:48:27,000
equipment repairs to base on uh factors

2410
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:30,179
from previous budgets

2411
01:48:30,179 --> 01:48:31,619
um

2412
01:48:31,619 --> 01:48:33,600
some additional costs for the splash pad

2413
01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:37,199
which is water related the splash pad in

2414
01:48:37,199 --> 01:48:40,139
Campbellford we had to switch from a

2415
01:48:40,139 --> 01:48:42,840
recycle recirculation system to a flow

2416
01:48:42,840 --> 01:48:46,920
through system that meaning uh the the

2417
01:48:46,920 --> 01:48:50,540
facility when it was built in 2011

2418
01:48:50,540 --> 01:48:52,980
recycled its own water and treated its

2419
01:48:52,980 --> 01:48:55,739
own water similar to a very small micro

2420
01:48:55,739 --> 01:48:57,619
water treatment plant

2421
01:48:57,619 --> 01:49:01,380
and in 2019 20 basically during the

2422
01:49:01,380 --> 01:49:03,719
pandemic the the uh the health

2423
01:49:03,719 --> 01:49:07,260
requirements were increased to reflect

2424
01:49:07,260 --> 01:49:10,199
that the the parks had to be physically

2425
01:49:10,199 --> 01:49:12,719
manned and checked every two hours

2426
01:49:12,719 --> 01:49:15,480
uh in our staff complement we just we

2427
01:49:15,480 --> 01:49:16,739
couldn't do that

2428
01:49:16,739 --> 01:49:18,900
um it means that the park would have to

2429
01:49:18,900 --> 01:49:21,540
close you know two hours after the staff

2430
01:49:21,540 --> 01:49:22,980
left

2431
01:49:22,980 --> 01:49:25,739
um for the end of their shift

2432
01:49:25,739 --> 01:49:27,659
and it we just didn't have the ability

2433
01:49:27,659 --> 01:49:30,420
to do that so the option was uh through

2434
01:49:30,420 --> 01:49:32,159
consultation and assistance through the

2435
01:49:32,159 --> 01:49:33,900
water department to install a direct

2436
01:49:33,900 --> 01:49:38,219
water line into the facility

2437
01:49:38,219 --> 01:49:39,119
um

2438
01:49:39,119 --> 01:49:42,239
change the systems in such a way that it

2439
01:49:42,239 --> 01:49:44,820
IT services the features and then goes

2440
01:49:44,820 --> 01:49:47,520
out to the river but before that it's

2441
01:49:47,520 --> 01:49:49,679
treated and dechlorinated and all of

2442
01:49:49,679 --> 01:49:52,920
this has been approved and inspected but

2443
01:49:52,920 --> 01:49:54,780
it does result in an increase in the

2444
01:49:54,780 --> 01:49:56,940
water consumption in that facility which

2445
01:49:56,940 --> 01:50:01,189
relates directly to the operating budget

2446
01:50:01,199 --> 01:50:02,520
um

2447
01:50:02,520 --> 01:50:05,940
and the bank charges for rents and

2448
01:50:05,940 --> 01:50:09,900
financial expenses have gone up and also

2449
01:50:09,900 --> 01:50:11,580
you can see reflected in in the slides

2450
01:50:11,580 --> 01:50:13,619
in the budget is uh the debt repayment

2451
01:50:13,619 --> 01:50:15,420
for the Hastings field house that being

2452
01:50:15,420 --> 01:50:17,699
reallocated to the reserves

2453
01:50:17,699 --> 01:50:20,090
um

2454
01:50:20,100 --> 01:50:22,860
and then rentals and admissions uh for

2455
01:50:22,860 --> 01:50:24,900
the facilities there's some facilities

2456
01:50:24,900 --> 01:50:26,760
are going up in Admissions and and

2457
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,440
rental fees and others are going down

2458
01:50:28,440 --> 01:50:31,380
slightly we look at that very closely

2459
01:50:31,380 --> 01:50:33,960
based on Trends so that not we're not

2460
01:50:33,960 --> 01:50:35,460
over inflating Revenue that we're

2461
01:50:35,460 --> 01:50:38,100
projecting for the budget

2462
01:50:38,100 --> 01:50:39,000
um

2463
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:42,659
and to reflect what we actually project

2464
01:50:42,659 --> 01:50:45,179
um moving forward and it's always Our

2465
01:50:45,179 --> 01:50:46,679
Hope and our goal to increase the

2466
01:50:46,679 --> 01:50:48,960
revenue line which will help offset the

2467
01:50:48,960 --> 01:50:50,940
uh

2468
01:50:50,940 --> 01:50:53,040
the impact of Taxation in my department

2469
01:50:53,040 --> 01:50:54,659
as we go forward throughout the

2470
01:50:54,659 --> 01:50:56,340
operating year

2471
01:50:56,340 --> 01:51:00,480
um but the reality is through kovid our

2472
01:51:00,480 --> 01:51:01,560
department

2473
01:51:01,560 --> 01:51:03,480
saw a significant decrease in revenue

2474
01:51:03,480 --> 01:51:06,719
and we're seeing a very slow increase

2475
01:51:06,719 --> 01:51:10,139
back up to where we were pre-covered and

2476
01:51:10,139 --> 01:51:12,600
staff are working hard to be able to

2477
01:51:12,600 --> 01:51:15,300
offer those services and get people back

2478
01:51:15,300 --> 01:51:17,900
into the building

2479
01:51:17,900 --> 01:51:19,619
the

2480
01:51:19,619 --> 01:51:20,340
um

2481
01:51:20,340 --> 01:51:22,440
just the transfer to reserves just just

2482
01:51:22,440 --> 01:51:24,659
to touch on that you can see every year

2483
01:51:24,659 --> 01:51:27,719
we do put a nominal amount of 5000 into

2484
01:51:27,719 --> 01:51:30,000
a reserve to help offset the replacement

2485
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:32,940
of any playgrounds

2486
01:51:32,940 --> 01:51:35,219
um in the in the municipality and that's

2487
01:51:35,219 --> 01:51:37,800
something that's been relatively new

2488
01:51:37,800 --> 01:51:40,380
um and as you can imagine playgrounds

2489
01:51:40,380 --> 01:51:43,440
are quite expensive to replace uh the

2490
01:51:43,440 --> 01:51:45,719
last one we put in was I think the main

2491
01:51:45,719 --> 01:51:48,600
ones back in 2009 so

2492
01:51:48,600 --> 01:51:50,219
um you know the addition of new ones and

2493
01:51:50,219 --> 01:51:52,320
the replacement of old ones can be quite

2494
01:51:52,320 --> 01:51:53,460
costly

2495
01:51:53,460 --> 01:51:55,139
so we're trying to build up that Reserve

2496
01:51:55,139 --> 01:51:56,880
to help offset those expenses when they

2497
01:51:56,880 --> 01:51:57,739
come

2498
01:51:57,739 --> 01:52:00,119
Parks and Rec general purpose Reserve

2499
01:52:00,119 --> 01:52:02,520
five thousand dollars we transfer

2500
01:52:02,520 --> 01:52:04,860
Capital use fees which is a 10 of all

2501
01:52:04,860 --> 01:52:06,300
the revenue

2502
01:52:06,300 --> 01:52:07,679
um in the department that's collected

2503
01:52:07,679 --> 01:52:09,900
into a reserved to help offset any

2504
01:52:09,900 --> 01:52:12,659
facility uh improvements

2505
01:52:12,659 --> 01:52:15,540
and then the Lion's Share is the the

2506
01:52:15,540 --> 01:52:18,179
balance of the Hastings field house loan

2507
01:52:18,179 --> 01:52:20,750
payment

2508
01:52:20,760 --> 01:52:23,520
and that's the six six hundred and

2509
01:52:23,520 --> 01:52:27,780
thirty six thousand uh in the reserves

2510
01:52:27,780 --> 01:52:31,500
and then in capital we have a 150 000 in

2511
01:52:31,500 --> 01:52:33,960
capital annually for our department

2512
01:52:33,960 --> 01:52:34,619
um

2513
01:52:34,619 --> 01:52:37,800
so we're looking at some additional site

2514
01:52:37,800 --> 01:52:40,560
furniture and improvements to Old Mill

2515
01:52:40,560 --> 01:52:42,540
Park to continue we'll see work going on

2516
01:52:42,540 --> 01:52:44,340
there now so it's a continuation of that

2517
01:52:44,340 --> 01:52:45,770
project

2518
01:52:45,770 --> 01:52:46,080
[Music]

2519
01:52:46,080 --> 01:52:47,280
um

2520
01:52:47,280 --> 01:52:49,739
a carryover for potentially some fencing

2521
01:52:49,739 --> 01:52:52,080
at Coral Bridge Park should Council wish

2522
01:52:52,080 --> 01:52:58,020
us to operate that as we did in 2022

2523
01:52:58,020 --> 01:53:02,000
upgrades to video surveillance equipment

2524
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:05,820
and some security control on the uh at

2525
01:53:05,820 --> 01:53:07,699
the marina on the docks

2526
01:53:07,699 --> 01:53:10,020
and of course the recreational Wellness

2527
01:53:10,020 --> 01:53:12,719
Center which will be on a

2528
01:53:12,719 --> 01:53:16,619
staff report later in this meeting

2529
01:53:16,619 --> 01:53:19,199
and uh we need a new floor cleaner and

2530
01:53:19,199 --> 01:53:22,080
work worth and we're requesting an

2531
01:53:22,080 --> 01:53:24,000
additional fifty thousand dollars put in

2532
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:27,600
reserve to help increase the amount we

2533
01:53:27,600 --> 01:53:30,000
have for a new recycle ice resurfacer

2534
01:53:30,000 --> 01:53:32,040
for the Campbellford Recreation Wellness

2535
01:53:32,040 --> 01:53:33,900
Center when it's built

2536
01:53:33,900 --> 01:53:36,300
and we need to replace some lawn mowers

2537
01:53:36,300 --> 01:53:39,410
as well

2538
01:53:39,420 --> 01:53:41,400
and the light duty truck was a carryover

2539
01:53:41,400 --> 01:53:45,119
from 2022. that RFP just closed and

2540
01:53:45,119 --> 01:53:46,860
nothing was received there were no bids

2541
01:53:46,860 --> 01:53:48,980
received for that

2542
01:53:48,980 --> 01:53:52,080
thank you

2543
01:53:52,080 --> 01:53:57,169
thanks very much Peter uh Deputy Metcalf

2544
01:53:57,179 --> 01:53:59,699
thank you worship

2545
01:53:59,699 --> 01:54:02,940
I just like to touch on

2546
01:54:02,940 --> 01:54:06,179
uh the reserve

2547
01:54:06,179 --> 01:54:10,639
the debt payment for the recreation so

2548
01:54:10,639 --> 01:54:13,560
when we go back to the Hastings Field

2549
01:54:13,560 --> 01:54:16,440
House what was the total debt

2550
01:54:16,440 --> 01:54:17,639
payment

2551
01:54:17,639 --> 01:54:20,880
that was required when that facility was

2552
01:54:20,880 --> 01:54:23,689
completed

2553
01:54:23,699 --> 01:54:26,280
it's true you you three year worship so

2554
01:54:26,280 --> 01:54:28,440
we had allocated

2555
01:54:28,440 --> 01:54:31,619
rounding it up to about 550 000 so if

2556
01:54:31,619 --> 01:54:33,960
you're looking on page 45 you can see

2557
01:54:33,960 --> 01:54:36,600
the full amount that is the debt payment

2558
01:54:36,600 --> 01:54:41,219
at 545 978 so a hundred percent of that

2559
01:54:41,219 --> 01:54:43,500
debt payment is now being transferred to

2560
01:54:43,500 --> 01:54:46,139
reserve in 2022 we still had some debt

2561
01:54:46,139 --> 01:54:48,540
payments and we only saw the remaining

2562
01:54:48,540 --> 01:54:51,060
amount of that being transferred to

2563
01:54:51,060 --> 01:54:53,219
reserve in 2022 so now you're seeing the

2564
01:54:53,219 --> 01:54:55,920
full amount coming out of operating

2565
01:54:55,920 --> 01:54:58,020
expense as a debt payment and being

2566
01:54:58,020 --> 01:55:00,719
moved over into a transfer to reserve

2567
01:55:00,719 --> 01:55:02,820
that will be used you know in future for

2568
01:55:02,820 --> 01:55:05,580
future capital projects

2569
01:55:05,580 --> 01:55:07,739
so just going back to the Hastings Field

2570
01:55:07,739 --> 01:55:10,380
House what was the what was the debt we

2571
01:55:10,380 --> 01:55:14,159
took on oh uh for that facility uh it

2572
01:55:14,159 --> 01:55:17,990
was around 5 million I believe

2573
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:21,300
five mil and then with the ratio that we

2574
01:55:21,300 --> 01:55:25,139
were uh allocating annually it was

2575
01:55:25,139 --> 01:55:27,840
six years am I correct that we were able

2576
01:55:27,840 --> 01:55:29,159
to pay off that

2577
01:55:29,159 --> 01:55:33,169
debt

2578
01:55:33,179 --> 01:55:34,920
true you you worship it was yeah it

2579
01:55:34,920 --> 01:55:36,719
commenced I believe we took on the debt

2580
01:55:36,719 --> 01:55:40,560
in 2016 and yes it just retired

2581
01:55:40,560 --> 01:55:44,300
in well in 2020.

2582
01:55:44,300 --> 01:55:49,020
2022 yes so by allocation annually on

2583
01:55:49,020 --> 01:55:50,760
budgets and putting into reserves and

2584
01:55:50,760 --> 01:55:53,580
pulling that 550 we paid off that 5

2585
01:55:53,580 --> 01:55:55,199
million in in six years for that

2586
01:55:55,199 --> 01:55:56,280
facility

2587
01:55:56,280 --> 01:55:58,679
so that will go on to our next facility

2588
01:55:58,679 --> 01:56:02,820
that we're currently working on to work

2589
01:56:02,820 --> 01:56:05,639
down that debt once it's put on after

2590
01:56:05,639 --> 01:56:07,800
completion of construction

2591
01:56:07,800 --> 01:56:09,300
that is correct it's just being

2592
01:56:09,300 --> 01:56:12,420
redirected uh again it'll be housed

2593
01:56:12,420 --> 01:56:15,480
inside of a reserve until we start that

2594
01:56:15,480 --> 01:56:17,159
you know the project if it's approved

2595
01:56:17,159 --> 01:56:18,840
then the funds will start to be drawn

2596
01:56:18,840 --> 01:56:19,920
down

2597
01:56:19,920 --> 01:56:23,750
time okay thanks Phil

2598
01:56:23,760 --> 01:56:26,100

01:56:26,100 --> 01:56:28,080
note uh just sorry I know you want it

2600
01:56:28,080 --> 01:56:30,600

expenditure that you see for the

2602

Campbellford Recreation and Wellness

2603
01:56:33,420 --> 01:56:35,100
Center that isn't the full gross cost

2604
01:56:35,100 --> 01:56:37,320
we've Incorporated 50 of the total

2605
01:56:37,320 --> 01:56:40,020
construction cost in there and 50 of the

2606
01:56:40,020 --> 01:56:42,060
eligible Grant Revenue that you see in

2607
01:56:42,060 --> 01:56:43,619
that line item so and the and the

2608
01:56:43,619 --> 01:56:46,679
balances is really what will be financed

2609
01:56:46,679 --> 01:56:48,719
but again those numbers are subject to

2610
01:56:48,719 --> 01:56:49,679
change

2611
01:56:49,679 --> 01:56:51,900
um and we'll have to update you and it's

2612
01:56:51,900 --> 01:56:55,510

thank you Council receiver yes the

2614
01:56:58,679 --> 01:56:59,639

2615
01:56:59,639 --> 01:57:02,400
um questions from Peter the truck that

2616
01:57:02,400 --> 01:57:03,900
we're replacing what year is the truck

2617
01:57:03,900 --> 01:57:06,480
that we're looking to replace

2618
01:57:06,480 --> 01:57:08,159
through your worship it's not a

2619
01:57:08,159 --> 01:57:09,840
replacement the Parks and Recreation

2620
01:57:09,840 --> 01:57:10,980
Department

2621
01:57:10,980 --> 01:57:13,199
um we usually get the trucks that the

2622
01:57:13,199 --> 01:57:16,320
other departments don't use anymore and

2623
01:57:16,320 --> 01:57:17,880
then in the summer we end up renting

2624
01:57:17,880 --> 01:57:19,440
vehicles

2625
01:57:19,440 --> 01:57:22,080
um so it's to start giving us some some

2626
01:57:22,080 --> 01:57:24,119
new vehicles to be able to use

2627
01:57:24,119 --> 01:57:25,580
year-round

2628
01:57:25,580 --> 01:57:29,040
that we don't share or have to be

2629
01:57:29,040 --> 01:57:32,520
decommissioned so okay and the truck uh

2630
01:57:32,520 --> 01:57:34,860
Sean here question

2631
01:57:34,860 --> 01:57:36,420
um the truck in the fire hall that will

2632
01:57:36,420 --> 01:57:40,380
be replacing what year is that right

2633
01:57:40,380 --> 01:57:44,099
through your worship it's uh 2004 2004

2634
01:57:44,099 --> 01:57:45,420
it's a good working running condition

2635
01:57:45,420 --> 01:57:47,639
considering doesn't get a lot of mileage

2636
01:57:47,639 --> 01:57:48,719
on it

2637
01:57:48,719 --> 01:57:51,119
um it needs some repairs it's

2638
01:57:51,119 --> 01:57:52,040
okay

2639
01:57:52,040 --> 01:57:55,080
doing repairs to it and

2640
01:57:55,080 --> 01:57:56,880
the repairs to it would cost more than

2641
01:57:56,880 --> 01:57:59,580
what the vehicle's worth okay so your

2642
01:57:59,580 --> 01:58:01,860
opinion is at the end of his life as far

2643
01:58:01,860 --> 01:58:03,780
as considering maybe transferring it

2644
01:58:03,780 --> 01:58:06,360
over to parks and recs and let them run

2645
01:58:06,360 --> 01:58:09,000
to the ground and correct

2646
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:10,380
okay

2647
01:58:10,380 --> 01:58:12,780
thank you

2648
01:58:12,780 --> 01:58:15,719
uh Peter I I feel bad that you're the

2649
01:58:15,719 --> 01:58:17,219
youngest child because obviously you get

2650
01:58:17,219 --> 01:58:19,320
all the hand-me-downs

2651
01:58:19,320 --> 01:58:20,099
um

2652
01:58:20,099 --> 01:58:27,169
we'll go to counselor English

2653
01:58:27,179 --> 01:58:32,219
but the ice resurfacer 190 000. was that

2654
01:58:32,219 --> 01:58:34,040
a EV

2655
01:58:34,040 --> 01:58:35,599
idence

2656
01:58:35,599 --> 01:58:37,739
that's what we're hoping to be able to

2657
01:58:37,739 --> 01:58:41,239
get yes so the uh

2658
01:58:41,239 --> 01:58:43,280
the

2659
01:58:43,280 --> 01:58:45,659
two main companies that provide ice

2660
01:58:45,659 --> 01:58:49,020
resurfaces there are others but they're

2661
01:58:49,020 --> 01:58:51,000
both right around that

2662
01:58:51,000 --> 01:58:52,380
that level

2663
01:58:52,380 --> 01:58:55,739
about a hundred and between 170 and 190

2664
01:58:55,739 --> 01:58:58,440
with all of the the features the laser

2665
01:58:58,440 --> 01:59:00,719
leveling and so on that we would want to

2666
01:59:00,719 --> 01:59:03,480
have in a new facility so yes

2667
01:59:03,480 --> 01:59:05,820
it certainly do support it

2668
01:59:05,820 --> 01:59:08,159
instead of the propane but I just

2669
01:59:08,159 --> 01:59:10,440
wondered and this isn't to knock it at

2670
01:59:10,440 --> 01:59:12,239
all because I do support it but uh

2671
01:59:12,239 --> 01:59:14,760
what's the difference in a propane one

2672
01:59:14,760 --> 01:59:17,219
in an Eevee I'm just curious that's all

2673
01:59:17,219 --> 01:59:19,739
so through you you worship um we bought

2674
01:59:19,739 --> 01:59:21,300
the one in warkworth currently the

2675
01:59:21,300 --> 01:59:23,940
propane uh version

2676
01:59:23,940 --> 01:59:26,870
um

2677
01:59:26,880 --> 01:59:29,099
three three years ago maybe four years

2678
01:59:29,099 --> 01:59:32,040
ago when it was ninety thousand then

2679
01:59:32,040 --> 01:59:34,679
um so you know moving now I believe that

2680
01:59:34,679 --> 01:59:36,599
the prices the preliminary prices I got

2681
01:59:36,599 --> 01:59:39,540
for the comparable version with the uh

2682
01:59:39,540 --> 01:59:42,599
uh with the same features is about a

2683
01:59:42,599 --> 01:59:44,099
hundred and

2684
01:59:44,099 --> 01:59:46,199
twenty to a hundred and thirty thousand

2685
01:59:46,199 --> 01:59:50,520
dollars yeah okay thanks

2686
01:59:50,520 --> 01:59:53,940
called Sir Giddings a three-year worship

2687
01:59:53,940 --> 01:59:56,159
um with their the added requirement for

2688
01:59:56,159 --> 01:59:57,540
Crow bridge is there any Revenue that

2689
01:59:57,540 --> 01:59:58,860
comes from

2690
01:59:58,860 --> 02:00:01,619
taking that on

2691
02:00:01,619 --> 02:00:04,500
three worship uh just the revenue from

2692
02:00:04,500 --> 02:00:07,739
the actual admission into the park so

2693
02:00:07,739 --> 02:00:10,679
um just uh just bear with me for a quick

2694
02:00:10,679 --> 02:00:16,370
second here so crowbridge park

2695
02:00:16,380 --> 02:00:19,679
this year brought in

2696
02:00:19,679 --> 02:00:21,000
um

2697
02:00:21,000 --> 02:00:24,119
around 35

2698
02:00:24,119 --> 02:00:26,280
000 once it's been all adjusted we're

2699
02:00:26,280 --> 02:00:29,460
projecting 40 000 in revenue for this

2700
02:00:29,460 --> 02:00:32,340
coming year okay and uh second for the

2701
02:00:32,340 --> 02:00:34,679
upgrade to the surveillance equipment is

2702
02:00:34,679 --> 02:00:36,780
that an expense that we're looking to

2703
02:00:36,780 --> 02:00:40,500
increase fees to offset that cost or

2704
02:00:40,500 --> 02:00:43,380
through your worship at no one of the

2705
02:00:43,380 --> 02:00:47,219
it's it's look we're trying to reuse the

2706
02:00:47,219 --> 02:00:49,940
what's part of the system we can

2707
02:00:49,940 --> 02:00:55,139
I put that system in in 2011 I believe

2708
02:00:55,139 --> 02:00:57,960
so we'd like to try to relocate the

2709
02:00:57,960 --> 02:01:01,199
cameras to a more effective location

2710
02:01:01,199 --> 02:01:03,900
see what we can see with them

2711
02:01:03,900 --> 02:01:06,840
cameras have many limits depending on

2712
02:01:06,840 --> 02:01:09,260
lighting and what they what they look at

2713
02:01:09,260 --> 02:01:11,699
and we're quite restricted in that

2714
02:01:11,699 --> 02:01:13,199
location of what we're allowed to

2715
02:01:13,199 --> 02:01:17,390
actually view so

2716
02:01:17,400 --> 02:01:19,920
the marina what we do at the marina to

2717
02:01:19,920 --> 02:01:21,420
set the fees is we do a survey every

2718
02:01:21,420 --> 02:01:22,980
year with surrounding

2719
02:01:22,980 --> 02:01:24,380
similar

2720
02:01:24,380 --> 02:01:28,199
facilities and we try to be somewhere in

2721
02:01:28,199 --> 02:01:29,820
the middle of that range we've always

2722
02:01:29,820 --> 02:01:32,480
done that to be responsible

2723
02:01:32,480 --> 02:01:35,460
and there's only a limit there is a

2724
02:01:35,460 --> 02:01:38,880
limit to the to increase the fees before

2725
02:01:38,880 --> 02:01:41,940
we start to to you know hurt the

2726
02:01:41,940 --> 02:01:44,400
business so we've worked very hard over

2727
02:01:44,400 --> 02:01:45,780
the last

2728
02:01:45,780 --> 02:01:49,440
10 12 years to to bring that facility up

2729
02:01:49,440 --> 02:01:52,679
to almost break even in some cases it

2730
02:01:52,679 --> 02:01:55,139
has actually been slightly profitable

2731
02:01:55,139 --> 02:01:56,940
um the biggest challenge in that

2732
02:01:56,940 --> 02:01:58,920
facility is Wi-Fi

2733
02:01:58,920 --> 02:02:04,020
which is a a service that is also free

2734
02:02:04,020 --> 02:02:06,000
so that

2735
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:06,780
um

2736
02:02:06,780 --> 02:02:09,659
that's a much larger cost for

2737
02:02:09,659 --> 02:02:12,179
improvements than what the

2738
02:02:12,179 --> 02:02:14,639
relocating the cameras would be and

2739
02:02:14,639 --> 02:02:15,960
that's Incorporated in this cost of

2740
02:02:15,960 --> 02:02:18,420
thirty thousand it is it's potentially

2741
02:02:18,420 --> 02:02:20,280
in there I would like to be able to do

2742
02:02:20,280 --> 02:02:23,040
both so we have to get some more

2743
02:02:23,040 --> 02:02:25,500
detailed pricing uh see what we're able

2744
02:02:25,500 --> 02:02:28,440
to do thank you

2745
02:02:28,440 --> 02:02:30,260
Council Brady

2746
02:02:30,260 --> 02:02:33,659
thank you Mr Mayor

2747
02:02:33,659 --> 02:02:35,400
counselor English has brought up the

2748
02:02:35,400 --> 02:02:38,580
topic that I was going to speak to

2749
02:02:38,580 --> 02:02:40,980
I'm into quite a few of the Arenas and I

2750
02:02:40,980 --> 02:02:43,920
haven't saw many a green machine ice

2751
02:02:43,920 --> 02:02:46,560
resurfacers in operation yet

2752
02:02:46,560 --> 02:02:49,380
most of them are just in a fairly new

2753
02:02:49,380 --> 02:02:51,480
Arena this past weekend in Mount Forest

2754
02:02:51,480 --> 02:02:54,960
and boy I wish we had that Arenas it's

2755
02:02:54,960 --> 02:02:57,840
it's a complete deal but they still have

2756
02:02:57,840 --> 02:03:00,659
a Olympia with the propane tanks on it

2757
02:03:00,659 --> 02:03:02,520
but uh

2758
02:03:02,520 --> 02:03:05,280
this closest one that I've seen is in

2759
02:03:05,280 --> 02:03:08,520
Frankfurt and they're kind of stepping

2760
02:03:08,520 --> 02:03:11,040
out and they had one there for two

2761
02:03:11,040 --> 02:03:13,619
winners I believe now but I was shocked

2762
02:03:13,619 --> 02:03:15,360
at the difference in the

2763
02:03:15,360 --> 02:03:17,760
in the money from

2764
02:03:17,760 --> 02:03:19,980
sixty thousand dollars for

2765
02:03:19,980 --> 02:03:22,679
for an upgrade and then the hydro to run

2766
02:03:22,679 --> 02:03:24,360
it as well so

2767
02:03:24,360 --> 02:03:27,290
anyway

2768
02:03:27,300 --> 02:03:36,229
thank you uh councilor Pope thank you

2769
02:03:36,239 --> 02:03:38,820
thank you for your worship and um I'll

2770
02:03:38,820 --> 02:03:41,099
address this uh both Peter and uh Val

2771
02:03:41,099 --> 02:03:44,880
but um our I read the crow uh Bridge

2772
02:03:44,880 --> 02:03:46,260
report and I thought it was very well

2773
02:03:46,260 --> 02:03:49,320
written are we able to get expenditures

2774
02:03:49,320 --> 02:03:51,800
and revenues by Major

2775
02:03:51,800 --> 02:03:55,500
Municipal facility I it would be ideal I

2776
02:03:55,500 --> 02:03:57,599
think to see this I mean I was unaware

2777
02:03:57,599 --> 02:03:59,940
of the Arena information sorry the

2778
02:03:59,940 --> 02:04:01,020
marina

2779
02:04:01,020 --> 02:04:03,000
information and I think it would be

2780
02:04:03,000 --> 02:04:06,410
great to see in one place

2781
02:04:06,420 --> 02:04:08,520
through your worship um would you be I

2782
02:04:08,520 --> 02:04:11,040
don't could you clarify that well I mean

2783
02:04:11,040 --> 02:04:13,619
that you have the fees for the wars they

2784
02:04:13,619 --> 02:04:15,599
work with Serena and the revenue for the

2785
02:04:15,599 --> 02:04:18,540
workworth arena and and each one of our

2786
02:04:18,540 --> 02:04:22,199
seven or nine major

2787
02:04:22,199 --> 02:04:24,840
facilities would have that done

2788
02:04:24,840 --> 02:04:27,239
we we do that's that's how our budget

2789
02:04:27,239 --> 02:04:29,219
operates with revenue and expenses okay

2790
02:04:29,219 --> 02:04:31,199
so we do have that for every facility

2791
02:04:31,199 --> 02:04:33,659
that we operate

2792
02:04:33,659 --> 02:04:41,990
okay we it's just not shared

2793
02:04:42,000 --> 02:04:44,930
it's available

2794
02:04:44,940 --> 02:04:47,460
three worship for Budget purposes or are

2795
02:04:47,460 --> 02:04:50,420
you talking about uh on a monthly basis

2796
02:04:50,420 --> 02:04:52,739
well not on a monthly basis but I'm

2797
02:04:52,739 --> 02:04:55,400
going to see actuals in in Prior history

2798
02:04:55,400 --> 02:04:57,659
uh when you're coming up with a budget

2799
02:04:57,659 --> 02:04:59,820
would seem to be beneficial at least

2800
02:04:59,820 --> 02:05:04,370
myself maybe nobody else

2801
02:05:04,380 --> 02:05:06,840
for your worship so if we

2802
02:05:06,840 --> 02:05:08,580
um started with the Parks and Recreation

2803
02:05:08,580 --> 02:05:10,739
facilities and then uh if there's other

2804
02:05:10,739 --> 02:05:12,480
facilities that you would want to see

2805
02:05:12,480 --> 02:05:14,280
then we can certainly expand on that

2806
02:05:14,280 --> 02:05:15,840
they are

2807
02:05:15,840 --> 02:05:17,940
um Parks and Rec is somewhat unique in

2808
02:05:17,940 --> 02:05:20,219
in the structure but all of the

2809
02:05:20,219 --> 02:05:21,719
facilities that we do have there would

2810
02:05:21,719 --> 02:05:23,280
be a line item if there is revenue being

2811
02:05:23,280 --> 02:05:25,320
generated at that facility and then

2812
02:05:25,320 --> 02:05:27,360
corresponding expenses as well but they

2813
02:05:27,360 --> 02:05:29,400
are quite extensive in the in the

2814
02:05:29,400 --> 02:05:31,440
individual budget line items which these

2815
02:05:31,440 --> 02:05:33,179
department heads see on a monthly basis

2816
02:05:33,179 --> 02:05:35,159
so if you would like we can start with

2817
02:05:35,159 --> 02:05:36,000
that

2818
02:05:36,000 --> 02:05:37,860
um I can we can circulate that to

2819
02:05:37,860 --> 02:05:40,440
members of of council uh thank you I'm

2820
02:05:40,440 --> 02:05:41,880
not interested in monthly though but

2821
02:05:41,880 --> 02:05:44,460
more more yearly based um you know two

2822
02:05:44,460 --> 02:05:47,760
three year runs on each perhaps

2823
02:05:47,760 --> 02:05:48,930
thank you

2824
02:05:48,930 --> 02:05:51,420
[Music]

2825
02:05:51,420 --> 02:05:54,060
Council Beginnings we worship back to

2826
02:05:54,060 --> 02:05:56,820
the ice researcher sorry

2827
02:05:56,820 --> 02:05:58,260
um counselor Gene uh brought up a good

2828
02:05:58,260 --> 02:06:02,520
point is there a cost avoidance that

2829
02:06:02,520 --> 02:06:03,900
would offset that extra cost of going

2830
02:06:03,900 --> 02:06:06,179
with an EV vehicle

2831
02:06:06,179 --> 02:06:08,940
three-year worship I I hope so we we're

2832
02:06:08,940 --> 02:06:10,920
trying very hard to find funding

2833
02:06:10,920 --> 02:06:12,300
available through the government to help

2834
02:06:12,300 --> 02:06:15,000
offset that you know if we're going to

2835
02:06:15,000 --> 02:06:18,800
switch from a propane uh unit 2 Electric

2836
02:06:18,800 --> 02:06:22,020
the I've approached a number of programs

2837
02:06:22,020 --> 02:06:23,940
and levels of government where there

2838
02:06:23,940 --> 02:06:26,820
were programs that have now closed

2839
02:06:26,820 --> 02:06:28,860
and I'm in constant contact with them

2840
02:06:28,860 --> 02:06:30,900
for when another program will open there

2841
02:06:30,900 --> 02:06:33,840
is a program that I was very hopeful for

2842
02:06:33,840 --> 02:06:36,659
uh it would have it was tailor-made for

2843
02:06:36,659 --> 02:06:39,540
this situation but when you looked

2844
02:06:39,540 --> 02:06:42,360
closer it was only in Alberta which that

2845
02:06:42,360 --> 02:06:44,639
doesn't help us very much here but our

2846
02:06:44,639 --> 02:06:46,500
hope is that we'll be able to

2847
02:06:46,500 --> 02:06:47,280
um

2848
02:06:47,280 --> 02:06:49,739
offset some of this cost with with

2849
02:06:49,739 --> 02:06:51,360
grants

2850
02:06:51,360 --> 02:06:53,580
um so so to clarify um is there an

2851
02:06:53,580 --> 02:06:55,800
expected cost avoidance just to operate

2852
02:06:55,800 --> 02:06:57,659
this thing in versus the cost of the

2853
02:06:57,659 --> 02:06:59,040
propane

2854
02:06:59,040 --> 02:07:00,840
um and and then in the required

2855
02:07:00,840 --> 02:07:02,760
maintenance and does that pricing also

2856
02:07:02,760 --> 02:07:03,900
include a charging station like are

2857
02:07:03,900 --> 02:07:04,619
those

2858
02:07:04,619 --> 02:07:06,840
will we see a cost benefit to going to

2859
02:07:06,840 --> 02:07:08,639
an EV other than just the environmental

2860
02:07:08,639 --> 02:07:10,260
impact one of one of the biggest things

2861
02:07:10,260 --> 02:07:11,760
would be the greenhouse gas emissions

2862
02:07:11,760 --> 02:07:13,380
which is how we measure in energy

2863
02:07:13,380 --> 02:07:16,800
management in our in our committee here

2864
02:07:16,800 --> 02:07:18,060
um you know Hydra rates are going up

2865
02:07:18,060 --> 02:07:19,320
every year

2866
02:07:19,320 --> 02:07:22,199
but also from you know when you turn on

2867
02:07:22,199 --> 02:07:25,739
Ice resurfacer on any Arena all the fans

2868
02:07:25,739 --> 02:07:27,480
have to kick on to vent it because it's

2869
02:07:27,480 --> 02:07:30,000
filled with people so all of those

2870
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:31,440
things are eliminated or reduced

2871
02:07:31,440 --> 02:07:33,000
significantly with an electric machine

2872
02:07:33,000 --> 02:07:36,719
the cost of operating

2873
02:07:36,719 --> 02:07:39,599
an electric unit versus a conventional

2874
02:07:39,599 --> 02:07:42,119
unit is lower the cost of propane is

2875
02:07:42,119 --> 02:07:43,860
quite High

2876
02:07:43,860 --> 02:07:46,679
and then it's just the maintenance of

2877
02:07:46,679 --> 02:07:48,780
you know having to to store the tanks

2878
02:07:48,780 --> 02:07:50,400
and switch the tanks out and all those

2879
02:07:50,400 --> 02:07:53,340
kind of things there is benefits and

2880
02:07:53,340 --> 02:07:55,739
efficiencies to having an EV unit so

2881
02:07:55,739 --> 02:07:57,900
there's a possibility without the offset

2882
02:07:57,900 --> 02:07:59,460
grants there's a possibility of having

2883
02:07:59,460 --> 02:08:03,119
an EV vehicle will see a return

2884
02:08:03,119 --> 02:08:04,980
um in so many years the difference of

2885
02:08:04,980 --> 02:08:08,040
cost I think you will see uh

2886
02:08:08,040 --> 02:08:09,300
I think

2887
02:08:09,300 --> 02:08:11,460
there'll be a return for sure when

2888
02:08:11,460 --> 02:08:13,020
looking at greenhouse gas emissions in

2889
02:08:13,020 --> 02:08:15,080
our facilities that'll be a big one

2890
02:08:15,080 --> 02:08:18,119
hopefully we would see a return in the

2891
02:08:18,119 --> 02:08:21,000
actual you know cost of running one unit

2892
02:08:21,000 --> 02:08:22,460
versus another unit

2893
02:08:22,460 --> 02:08:25,020
it it's a difficult thing to measure

2894
02:08:25,020 --> 02:08:27,780
because it's you know fuel is rolled in

2895
02:08:27,780 --> 02:08:29,699
propane is rolled into a fuel line which

2896
02:08:29,699 --> 02:08:31,560
isn't separated between ice resurfacer

2897
02:08:31,560 --> 02:08:35,460
and something else so um it is it is

2898
02:08:35,460 --> 02:08:38,699
challenging that way but overall

2899
02:08:38,699 --> 02:08:40,619
the the cost of running an electric

2900
02:08:40,619 --> 02:08:43,320
machine is cheaper than running a fossil

2901
02:08:43,320 --> 02:08:47,629
fuel burning machine

2902
02:08:47,639 --> 02:08:49,440
cultural English

2903
02:08:49,440 --> 02:08:51,179
thank you Mr Mayor I agree with

2904
02:08:51,179 --> 02:08:53,099
everything you said on that Peter and as

2905
02:08:53,099 --> 02:08:55,320
I said I do support it um I know it was

2906
02:08:55,320 --> 02:08:58,320
Kenny West that recently did get one and

2907
02:08:58,320 --> 02:09:00,659
it could be as councilman he said it

2908
02:09:00,659 --> 02:09:02,880
might be Frankfurt but I'm not too sure

2909
02:09:02,880 --> 02:09:04,860
they might not have more than one they

2910
02:09:04,860 --> 02:09:06,300
might be a good resource for you to

2911
02:09:06,300 --> 02:09:07,739
reach out to that's that's the only

2912
02:09:07,739 --> 02:09:11,340
reason I bring that up so thanks

2913
02:09:11,340 --> 02:09:13,199
Council savory

2914
02:09:13,199 --> 02:09:15,719
yes and on top of that through your

2915
02:09:15,719 --> 02:09:17,580
mayor uh

2916
02:09:17,580 --> 02:09:21,840
the cost of a battery for these machines

2917
02:09:21,840 --> 02:09:24,239
is probably going to be pretty dear and

2918
02:09:24,239 --> 02:09:26,099
to be interested to also get a price

2919
02:09:26,099 --> 02:09:28,260
from there from your salesman when you

2920
02:09:28,260 --> 02:09:30,239
go to look at the equipment and how

2921
02:09:30,239 --> 02:09:32,699
available they are because I've heard a

2922
02:09:32,699 --> 02:09:34,980
lot of people who have cars that can't

2923
02:09:34,980 --> 02:09:37,199
find a battery anymore can't get

2924
02:09:37,199 --> 02:09:39,179
disposed of the bat the old batteries

2925
02:09:39,179 --> 02:09:41,400
and the last thing we need is a piece of

2926
02:09:41,400 --> 02:09:43,619
equipment that can't Source a new

2927
02:09:43,619 --> 02:09:45,480
battery for it five years eight years

2928
02:09:45,480 --> 02:09:46,800
down the road

2929
02:09:46,800 --> 02:09:48,420
so it's important when you do your

2930
02:09:48,420 --> 02:09:50,520
research to make sure that they can

2931
02:09:50,520 --> 02:09:52,619
guarantee you that you will have that

2932
02:09:52,619 --> 02:09:56,699
kind of access to a future thank you we

2933
02:09:56,699 --> 02:10:07,070
will consider that

2934
02:10:07,080 --> 02:10:11,460
of the Municipal Building Maintenance

2935
02:10:11,460 --> 02:10:14,219
side of the budget as well as the

2936
02:10:14,219 --> 02:10:16,260
library board's budget so on the line

2937
02:10:16,260 --> 02:10:18,840
item that you see as grants agreements

2938
02:10:18,840 --> 02:10:21,900
and requisitions that is the

2939
02:10:21,900 --> 02:10:23,940
um the net difference of the

2940
02:10:23,940 --> 02:10:26,219
expenditures and revenues of the library

2941
02:10:26,219 --> 02:10:29,880
board so the municipal Grant is is

2942
02:10:29,880 --> 02:10:32,400
funding about 92 percent of their

2943
02:10:32,400 --> 02:10:33,900
operations

2944
02:10:33,900 --> 02:10:36,000
I attended uh the library board meeting

2945
02:10:36,000 --> 02:10:37,440
last evening and unfortunately there

2946
02:10:37,440 --> 02:10:40,860
wasn't a quorum so on behalf of um uh

2947
02:10:40,860 --> 02:10:43,080
the staff and board members the

2948
02:10:43,080 --> 02:10:45,300
information that you see before you has

2949
02:10:45,300 --> 02:10:49,320
not yet been finalized by the board so

2950
02:10:49,320 --> 02:10:52,020
it may be subject to change they do hope

2951
02:10:52,020 --> 02:10:56,400
to meet sometime before too long so

2952
02:10:56,400 --> 02:10:59,040
um one of the things that we wanted to

2953
02:10:59,040 --> 02:11:01,080
mention to you within the library board

2954
02:11:01,080 --> 02:11:03,119
budget because it is detailed and it's

2955
02:11:03,119 --> 02:11:04,980
approved by the board there are some

2956
02:11:04,980 --> 02:11:07,619
changes year over year

2957
02:11:07,619 --> 02:11:10,139
and uh the total requisition amount is

2958
02:11:10,139 --> 02:11:12,020
increasing by 54

2959
02:11:12,020 --> 02:11:15,780
558 there are a number of uh items

2960
02:11:15,780 --> 02:11:18,300
within their budget that is driving that

2961
02:11:18,300 --> 02:11:20,400
cost and one of the items that I just

2962
02:11:20,400 --> 02:11:22,440
want to speak to was is an amount of

2963
02:11:22,440 --> 02:11:24,119
twenty five thousand dollars that they

2964
02:11:24,119 --> 02:11:26,159
opted the board opted to transfer from

2965
02:11:26,159 --> 02:11:29,219
Reserve in 2022 to offset the levy tax

2966
02:11:29,219 --> 02:11:31,500
every requirement when they submitted

2967
02:11:31,500 --> 02:11:33,239
that to the municipality

2968
02:11:33,239 --> 02:11:35,639
The Hope was they were facing at that

2969
02:11:35,639 --> 02:11:38,460
time uh probably a fifty thousand dollar

2970
02:11:38,460 --> 02:11:40,380
increase in their tax every requirement

2971
02:11:40,380 --> 02:11:42,840
and in good faith they opted to lower

2972
02:11:42,840 --> 02:11:45,179
that in in hopes that

2973
02:11:45,179 --> 02:11:47,400
um Coming forward into 2023 they would

2974
02:11:47,400 --> 02:11:50,400
only be seeing the 25 000 increase so it

2975
02:11:50,400 --> 02:11:51,900
was spreading it out it was a mechanism

2976
02:11:51,900 --> 02:11:54,239
to to spread out that fifty thousand

2977
02:11:54,239 --> 02:11:56,099
dollar increase over two years being 25

2978
02:11:56,099 --> 02:12:00,239
in 2022 and 25 and 2023. however they've

2979
02:12:00,239 --> 02:12:02,119
had some other changes to their budget

2980
02:12:02,119 --> 02:12:04,380
they have added

2981
02:12:04,380 --> 02:12:07,500
um uh or changed staff Staffing

2982
02:12:07,500 --> 02:12:10,440
requirements there so that is changing

2983
02:12:10,440 --> 02:12:12,179
um they have step grid movements and

2984
02:12:12,179 --> 02:12:14,639
cola adjustments as well

2985
02:12:14,639 --> 02:12:17,880
so the offset of the twenty five

2986
02:12:17,880 --> 02:12:19,800
thousand dollars being the transfer firm

2987
02:12:19,800 --> 02:12:23,639
reserves that's being removed in in 2023

2988
02:12:23,639 --> 02:12:26,099
um is is not achieving what we had hoped

2989
02:12:26,099 --> 02:12:27,659
it would because of the other increases

2990
02:12:27,659 --> 02:12:29,099
in their budget and we've outlined those

2991
02:12:29,099 --> 02:12:32,580
increases so overall from a taxation

2992
02:12:32,580 --> 02:12:36,840
perspective the library Grant itself is

2993
02:12:36,840 --> 02:12:38,659
increasing by 54

2994
02:12:38,659 --> 02:12:41,280
558 and on the municipal side for

2995
02:12:41,280 --> 02:12:43,500
facilities which would be for contracted

2996
02:12:43,500 --> 02:12:44,940
services for things like the elevator

2997
02:12:44,940 --> 02:12:47,060
maintenance and

2998
02:12:47,060 --> 02:12:50,460
alarming and and so on and so forth It's

2999
02:12:50,460 --> 02:12:52,739
increasing by 2000 the municipality does

3000
02:12:52,739 --> 02:12:54,960
have a dedicated line item in the budget

3001
02:12:54,960 --> 02:12:56,940
of about thirty thousand dollars for

3002
02:12:56,940 --> 02:12:59,340
facility maintenance at the library

3003
02:12:59,340 --> 02:13:01,739
facilities that cover things that

3004
02:13:01,739 --> 02:13:03,300
because they are our Municipal

3005
02:13:03,300 --> 02:13:06,659
structures and our assets we do have

3006
02:13:06,659 --> 02:13:09,599
some maintenance items that occur there

3007
02:13:09,599 --> 02:13:11,280
if anybody has any questions with

3008
02:13:11,280 --> 02:13:12,840
respect to that

3009
02:13:12,840 --> 02:13:16,609
deputy midcap

3010
02:13:16,619 --> 02:13:20,520
thank you worship it's noted on page 47

3011
02:13:20,520 --> 02:13:22,619
Valerie that the municipal funding to

3012
02:13:22,619 --> 02:13:24,719
the library board represents 92.4

3013
02:13:24,719 --> 02:13:27,420
percent of the total annual Library

3014
02:13:27,420 --> 02:13:29,159
Revenue

3015
02:13:29,159 --> 02:13:31,440
what's the operational voice of the

3016
02:13:31,440 --> 02:13:33,360
municipality

3017
02:13:33,360 --> 02:13:36,060
at the library level considering the

3018
02:13:36,060 --> 02:13:39,780
amount of funds that the municipality

3019
02:13:39,780 --> 02:13:47,689
puts into the library budget

3020
02:13:47,699 --> 02:13:50,520
yeah what presentation what's

3021
02:13:50,520 --> 02:13:53,280
what's the voice of the operations of

3022
02:13:53,280 --> 02:13:56,040
the the library who how do how does the

3023
02:13:56,040 --> 02:13:58,920
municipality voice the

3024
02:13:58,920 --> 02:14:01,800
operations seeing as we're at 92.4

3025
02:14:01,800 --> 02:14:03,300
percent of the budget is from the

3026
02:14:03,300 --> 02:14:05,579
municipality

3027
02:14:05,579 --> 02:14:07,380
I guess the structure the structure of

3028
02:14:07,380 --> 02:14:09,780
the board the structure of the decision

3029
02:14:09,780 --> 02:14:12,300
makers at the library right through you

3030
02:14:12,300 --> 02:14:13,800
your worship so there would be two

3031
02:14:13,800 --> 02:14:16,260
sitting members of Council on the

3032
02:14:16,260 --> 02:14:18,780
library board as well as the appointed

3033
02:14:18,780 --> 02:14:21,360
members as well so the elected officials

3034
02:14:21,360 --> 02:14:23,460
that are on the board at this time they

3035
02:14:23,460 --> 02:14:24,360
would

3036
02:14:24,360 --> 02:14:26,940
um have the opportunity I suppose to to

3037
02:14:26,940 --> 02:14:28,380
state

3038
02:14:28,380 --> 02:14:31,020
um their thoughts on on moving that

3039
02:14:31,020 --> 02:14:33,659
motioning that to move forward to

3040
02:14:33,659 --> 02:14:37,970
counsel for council's approval

3041
02:14:37,980 --> 02:14:45,970
thanks

3042
02:14:45,980 --> 02:14:49,380
so we're on to the area of cultural and

3043
02:14:49,380 --> 02:14:51,420
it includes heritage heritage

3044
02:14:51,420 --> 02:14:54,179
preservation Community culture and a

3045
02:14:54,179 --> 02:14:57,060
line item in there for war monuments and

3046
02:14:57,060 --> 02:14:59,579
I'll just ask if Doug or Jim would like

3047
02:14:59,579 --> 02:15:04,910
to speak to this area of the budget

3048
02:15:04,920 --> 02:15:07,330
foreign

3049
02:15:07,340 --> 02:15:10,139
the clerk's office is responsible for

3050
02:15:10,139 --> 02:15:14,639
the various cenotaphs and arranging to

3051
02:15:14,639 --> 02:15:16,940
ensure that they are

3052
02:15:16,940 --> 02:15:21,300
clean tidy maintained and it's typically

3053
02:15:21,300 --> 02:15:23,280
our Recreation Department that is out

3054
02:15:23,280 --> 02:15:25,500
there ensuring that all those activities

3055
02:15:25,500 --> 02:15:33,010
occur

3056
02:15:33,020 --> 02:15:36,119
through you Mr Mayor so this uh portion

3057
02:15:36,119 --> 02:15:37,739
of the budget does support the Heritage

3058
02:15:37,739 --> 02:15:40,679
advisory committee which um

3059
02:15:40,679 --> 02:15:45,109
deals with Grant applications for

3060
02:15:45,119 --> 02:15:47,159
designated Heritage structures that are

3061
02:15:47,159 --> 02:15:49,500
eligible for such grants we also have a

3062
02:15:49,500 --> 02:15:51,300
Heritage recognition program where we

3063
02:15:51,300 --> 02:15:52,520
recognize

3064
02:15:52,520 --> 02:15:54,300
non-designated buildings that are

3065
02:15:54,300 --> 02:15:56,239
significant within the community

3066
02:15:56,239 --> 02:16:00,719
do education on Heritage and um

3067
02:16:00,719 --> 02:16:02,579
we've adjusted some of the funds in here

3068
02:16:02,579 --> 02:16:05,099
to we haven't done promotion in a number

3069
02:16:05,099 --> 02:16:08,699
of years but this is essentially this

3070
02:16:08,699 --> 02:16:10,800
budget sort of stays as it is from year

3071
02:16:10,800 --> 02:16:16,129
to year

3072
02:16:16,139 --> 02:16:19,199
thank you we do um have an allocation

3073
02:16:19,199 --> 02:16:21,239
within this budget to support Canada Day

3074
02:16:21,239 --> 02:16:23,699
festivities and Christmas parades in

3075
02:16:23,699 --> 02:16:25,380
each of the communities as well so

3076
02:16:25,380 --> 02:16:27,599
that's where this is the budget that it

3077
02:16:27,599 --> 02:16:29,820
it flows through and we do set aside

3078
02:16:29,820 --> 02:16:31,739
five thousand dollars each year to a

3079
02:16:31,739 --> 02:16:33,960
dedicated reserve for in the event that

3080
02:16:33,960 --> 02:16:38,810
we have to restore any monuments

3081
02:16:38,820 --> 02:16:40,620
next area of services planning and

3082
02:16:40,620 --> 02:16:42,780
development and dealing primarily with

3083
02:16:42,780 --> 02:16:44,519
Zone amendments severances minor

3084
02:16:44,519 --> 02:16:46,200
variances plans of subdivision and

3085
02:16:46,200 --> 02:16:48,780
official plan amendments

3086
02:16:48,780 --> 02:16:50,519
um I'm going to turn it over to our

3087
02:16:50,519 --> 02:16:53,099
director of development services for

3088
02:16:53,099 --> 02:16:56,280
his comments thanks Valerie through your

3089
02:16:56,280 --> 02:16:58,500
worship so some of the adjustments we've

3090
02:16:58,500 --> 02:17:01,260
made to the budget as Valerie noted

3091
02:17:01,260 --> 02:17:02,700
um development charges have been

3092
02:17:02,700 --> 02:17:04,679
completely removed out of the budget so

3093
02:17:04,679 --> 02:17:07,260
that we're not seeing things that might

3094
02:17:07,260 --> 02:17:09,359
have skewed how it looked from a revenue

3095
02:17:09,359 --> 02:17:12,120
point of view we have adjusted fees and

3096
02:17:12,120 --> 02:17:14,700
charges to reflect

3097
02:17:14,700 --> 02:17:16,500
the number of applications we're dealing

3098
02:17:16,500 --> 02:17:18,179
with on an annual basis we've looked at

3099
02:17:18,179 --> 02:17:19,859
I think the last three years to average

3100
02:17:19,859 --> 02:17:22,380
those out we are updating our fees and

3101
02:17:22,380 --> 02:17:24,000
charges this year that's already been

3102
02:17:24,000 --> 02:17:26,580
through the uh public meeting process

3103
02:17:26,580 --> 02:17:28,320
and we're also introducing a number of

3104
02:17:28,320 --> 02:17:30,840
charges that we should have available

3105
02:17:30,840 --> 02:17:33,899
for various processes that we could

3106
02:17:33,899 --> 02:17:36,059
offer in planning for instance it's not

3107
02:17:36,059 --> 02:17:39,240
just a matter of the um application for

3108
02:17:39,240 --> 02:17:41,040
a subdivision fee but if a subdivision

3109
02:17:41,040 --> 02:17:43,320
is being extended or if there are

3110
02:17:43,320 --> 02:17:45,960
changes to the conditions that take

3111
02:17:45,960 --> 02:17:47,580
staff time and it's brought forward to

3112
02:17:47,580 --> 02:17:51,300
council so those costs should be uh

3113
02:17:51,300 --> 02:17:54,120
charged back to the applicants

3114
02:17:54,120 --> 02:17:55,740
oh deal

3115
02:17:55,740 --> 02:17:56,460
um

3116
02:17:56,460 --> 02:17:59,340
again the notes it looks at the major

3117
02:17:59,340 --> 02:18:01,679
projects that are being undertaken

3118
02:18:01,679 --> 02:18:04,679
funded from Reserve funds

3119
02:18:04,679 --> 02:18:05,399
um

3120
02:18:05,399 --> 02:18:07,620
so finally after many years we've

3121
02:18:07,620 --> 02:18:09,660
undertaken and started on the update of

3122
02:18:09,660 --> 02:18:11,460
the trade Hills official plan which is

3123
02:18:11,460 --> 02:18:14,460
the major guiding document for land use

3124
02:18:14,460 --> 02:18:17,399
in the municipality we're still dealing

3125
02:18:17,399 --> 02:18:19,740
with the official plan that was created

3126
02:18:19,740 --> 02:18:23,399
at the time of amalgamation so we've

3127
02:18:23,399 --> 02:18:25,260
coming to the end of that 25-year period

3128
02:18:25,260 --> 02:18:27,599
and we're looking forward to the next 25

3129
02:18:27,599 --> 02:18:30,599
years and there's a lot of changes that

3130
02:18:30,599 --> 02:18:32,160
have happened in policy that needs to be

3131
02:18:32,160 --> 02:18:34,979
reflected in that so there'll be I think

3132
02:18:34,979 --> 02:18:36,540
right now there is a notice out that

3133
02:18:36,540 --> 02:18:38,880
we've started that process and it will

3134
02:18:38,880 --> 02:18:43,620
be before you at the next public hearing

3135
02:18:43,620 --> 02:18:45,660
we had the opportunity through lower

3136
02:18:45,660 --> 02:18:49,320
trade conservation to apply for a

3137
02:18:49,320 --> 02:18:52,669
get the right wording here

3138
02:18:52,679 --> 02:18:56,340
Federal Hazard mapping program so Equity

3139
02:18:56,340 --> 02:18:59,880
West and Trent Hills uh are each putting

3140
02:18:59,880 --> 02:19:02,160
in fifty thousand dollars the overall

3141
02:19:02,160 --> 02:19:04,080
project is uh two hundred thousand

3142
02:19:04,080 --> 02:19:06,420
dollars fifty percent being paid by the

3143
02:19:06,420 --> 02:19:10,080
grant program and that will re-map the

3144
02:19:10,080 --> 02:19:11,880
floodplain of the entire Trent River in

3145
02:19:11,880 --> 02:19:14,040
the lower Trent Basin so from Lake

3146
02:19:14,040 --> 02:19:16,380
Ontario essentially to Rice Lake

3147
02:19:16,380 --> 02:19:18,660
we're also looking um it's sort of tied

3148
02:19:18,660 --> 02:19:20,040
into the official plan but it's

3149
02:19:20,040 --> 02:19:21,899
something we've been trying to do as

3150
02:19:21,899 --> 02:19:23,160
we've been dealing with more and more

3151
02:19:23,160 --> 02:19:24,840
development Trent Hills we need to look

3152
02:19:24,840 --> 02:19:27,240
at our water and wastewater servicing

3153
02:19:27,240 --> 02:19:28,859
capacity

3154
02:19:28,859 --> 02:19:30,840
so we've just put together the framework

3155
02:19:30,840 --> 02:19:32,939
for what we're looking for that will be

3156
02:19:32,939 --> 02:19:35,399
going out to Consultants to give us

3157
02:19:35,399 --> 02:19:37,559
hopefully the costs within that fifty

3158
02:19:37,559 --> 02:19:38,939
thousand dollars

3159
02:19:38,939 --> 02:19:41,340
and development charges study comes up

3160
02:19:41,340 --> 02:19:44,639
again in 2023 our bylaw I think expires

3161
02:19:44,639 --> 02:19:47,460
early in 2024 and we have to have a

3162
02:19:47,460 --> 02:19:50,939
strong lead time to do the study to

3163
02:19:50,939 --> 02:19:53,280
support what those development charges

3164
02:19:53,280 --> 02:19:56,280
will be so that we can continue if we

3165
02:19:56,280 --> 02:19:57,780
don't have that in place when our

3166
02:19:57,780 --> 02:19:59,399
current bylaw expires we won't be able

3167
02:19:59,399 --> 02:20:01,439
to charge them for a certain amount of

3168
02:20:01,439 --> 02:20:03,240
time we don't want to run into that I

3169
02:20:03,240 --> 02:20:05,040
think we did run into that once before

3170
02:20:05,040 --> 02:20:07,020
we want to avoid that

3171
02:20:07,020 --> 02:20:09,359
uh Council will also know from a other

3172
02:20:09,359 --> 02:20:11,640
report on the agenda that there are a

3173
02:20:11,640 --> 02:20:13,740
lot of changes the province is proposing

3174
02:20:13,740 --> 02:20:16,380
to how development charges are applied

3175
02:20:16,380 --> 02:20:18,780
and collected and we want to make sure

3176
02:20:18,780 --> 02:20:20,939
we are very familiar with that as we go

3177
02:20:20,939 --> 02:20:23,040
forward so that would be an important

3178
02:20:23,040 --> 02:20:31,010
study for us to undertake

3179
02:20:31,020 --> 02:20:35,330
Deputy Metcalf

3180
02:20:35,340 --> 02:20:38,570
almost missed that one

3181
02:20:38,580 --> 02:20:39,439
um

3182
02:20:39,439 --> 02:20:41,700
the wastes the water Wastewater

3183
02:20:41,700 --> 02:20:44,040
servicing capacity study that's for all

3184
02:20:44,040 --> 02:20:47,280
three centers that's going to cover

3185
02:20:47,280 --> 02:20:49,620
the whole municipality yes it'll cover

3186
02:20:49,620 --> 02:20:51,240
the three Urban centers Campbellford

3187
02:20:51,240 --> 02:20:52,979
Hastings work worth that we'll look at

3188
02:20:52,979 --> 02:20:56,280
water treatment plants and the um

3189
02:20:56,280 --> 02:20:57,899
the wastewater treatment plants and the

3190
02:20:57,899 --> 02:21:00,000
scotus also offered us a number of other

3191
02:21:00,000 --> 02:21:01,859
components that he wants to make sure

3192
02:21:01,859 --> 02:21:03,660
are included in that so

3193
02:21:03,660 --> 02:21:06,180
our manager planning is putting that all

3194
02:21:06,180 --> 02:21:07,680
together to make sure it covers all

3195
02:21:07,680 --> 02:21:10,670
those topics

3196
02:21:10,680 --> 02:21:14,100
good uh the development charges so if

3197
02:21:14,100 --> 02:21:17,819
it's brought out uh removed from the

3198
02:21:17,819 --> 02:21:21,000
budget as a as a revenue source so as

3199
02:21:21,000 --> 02:21:24,180
not to not skew it where what where is

3200
02:21:24,180 --> 02:21:25,920
that going is it

3201
02:21:25,920 --> 02:21:29,880
into a um Reserve fund

3202
02:21:29,880 --> 02:21:33,899
that's being shown there

3203
02:21:33,899 --> 02:21:36,660
sure you worship so there's always been

3204
02:21:36,660 --> 02:21:38,939
a revenue line item and a corresponding

3205
02:21:38,939 --> 02:21:41,100
transfer to reserve line item as an

3206
02:21:41,100 --> 02:21:42,899
expense within the budget

3207
02:21:42,899 --> 02:21:45,260
any development charges that are

3208
02:21:45,260 --> 02:21:47,399
collected are transferred to the

3209
02:21:47,399 --> 02:21:49,260
development charges Reserve Fund in

3210
02:21:49,260 --> 02:21:50,700
accordance with the applicable

3211
02:21:50,700 --> 02:21:53,100
legislation and we do report that out on

3212
02:21:53,100 --> 02:21:55,319
an annual basis to

3213
02:21:55,319 --> 02:21:58,260
um to council so each development charge

3214
02:21:58,260 --> 02:22:00,680
has an allocation for various services

3215
02:22:00,680 --> 02:22:03,060
within the municipality so there's a

3216
02:22:03,060 --> 02:22:04,740
portion of the amount that's collected

3217
02:22:04,740 --> 02:22:06,780
that's attributed attributable to roads

3218
02:22:06,780 --> 02:22:08,880
and Parks and Recreation in different so

3219
02:22:08,880 --> 02:22:12,899
we have a template and we show how those

3220
02:22:12,899 --> 02:22:15,240
funds are allocated in the in the

3221
02:22:15,240 --> 02:22:18,060
reserve fund report on an annual basis

3222
02:22:18,060 --> 02:22:21,540
and then from those uh Reserve that

3223
02:22:21,540 --> 02:22:23,580
Reserve front of the development charges

3224
02:22:23,580 --> 02:22:26,880
there there's specific percentages that

3225
02:22:26,880 --> 02:22:29,580
can be used for specific projects that

3226
02:22:29,580 --> 02:22:31,740
that we're taking on in in the

3227
02:22:31,740 --> 02:22:34,020
municipality Miss mainly for

3228
02:22:34,020 --> 02:22:37,319
infrastructure growth type projects

3229
02:22:37,319 --> 02:22:39,120
yes that is correct so in the

3230
02:22:39,120 --> 02:22:41,280
development charges study there will be

3231
02:22:41,280 --> 02:22:44,819
an allocation staff will be responsible

3232
02:22:44,819 --> 02:22:47,760
to identify the various areas of major

3233
02:22:47,760 --> 02:22:50,399
development and if I doesn't if I don't

3234
02:22:50,399 --> 02:22:52,979
have this correct please step in Jim but

3235
02:22:52,979 --> 02:22:54,720
um in the past study what happened is we

3236
02:22:54,720 --> 02:22:56,280
identified all the areas of potential

3237
02:22:56,280 --> 02:22:59,280
development and uh sort of the arterial

3238
02:22:59,280 --> 02:23:02,100
roads in different areas and so if we

3239
02:23:02,100 --> 02:23:03,600
have infrastructure projects that are

3240
02:23:03,600 --> 02:23:05,700
brought forward that have any

3241
02:23:05,700 --> 02:23:08,040
development charge Revenue that can be

3242
02:23:08,040 --> 02:23:10,080
drawn from that fund we will bring that

3243
02:23:10,080 --> 02:23:11,819
into the budget you'll see a there's a

3244
02:23:11,819 --> 02:23:13,080
couple of items in this particular

3245
02:23:13,080 --> 02:23:14,880
budget where we might have a small

3246
02:23:14,880 --> 02:23:16,920
section of road that like the Seymour

3247
02:23:16,920 --> 02:23:19,200
Quarry Road there is a very small amount

3248
02:23:19,200 --> 02:23:21,359
that's eligible to be drawn from the DC

3249
02:23:21,359 --> 02:23:24,240
Reserve fund and so we look at that each

3250
02:23:24,240 --> 02:23:25,740
year to make sure that we are drawing

3251
02:23:25,740 --> 02:23:28,080
down from those funds

3252
02:23:28,080 --> 02:23:30,899
if that helps it does and to

3253
02:23:30,899 --> 02:23:32,880
specifically use those funds has to be

3254
02:23:32,880 --> 02:23:36,120
allocated within that

3255
02:23:36,120 --> 02:23:39,300
um that service report it has to be

3256
02:23:39,300 --> 02:23:41,220
those items

3257
02:23:41,220 --> 02:23:43,800
um have to be identified am I correct uh

3258
02:23:43,800 --> 02:23:45,720
it's not just something that we can

3259
02:23:45,720 --> 02:23:47,880
randomly pull from

3260
02:23:47,880 --> 02:23:49,680
that is correct it's it's

3261
02:23:49,680 --> 02:23:52,319
um you cannot use those funds for it's

3262
02:23:52,319 --> 02:23:54,720
it's an obligatory Reserve fund for the

3263
02:23:54,720 --> 02:23:56,520
sole purpose of funding development

3264
02:23:56,520 --> 02:23:58,380
growth pays for growth

3265
02:23:58,380 --> 02:24:03,290
thanks Phil

3266
02:24:03,300 --> 02:24:05,280
accounts for savory

3267
02:24:05,280 --> 02:24:09,540
yes demerit uh Jim requests the the

3268
02:24:09,540 --> 02:24:12,660
study for Wastewater and water coming up

3269
02:24:12,660 --> 02:24:14,399
is that something that's done every five

3270
02:24:14,399 --> 02:24:17,040
years ten years

3271
02:24:17,040 --> 02:24:20,040
you as a and you'd probably recognize

3272
02:24:20,040 --> 02:24:22,680
and recommend that should be done

3273
02:24:22,680 --> 02:24:24,660
it's somewhat overdue I think the last

3274
02:24:24,660 --> 02:24:27,260
time we did it through you Mr Mayor was

3275
02:24:27,260 --> 02:24:30,420
2008 and it was just sort of a a brief

3276
02:24:30,420 --> 02:24:32,340
that looked at mainly at that time I

3277
02:24:32,340 --> 02:24:34,260
think it was our wastewater treatment

3278
02:24:34,260 --> 02:24:36,960
plants and that led to some improvements

3279
02:24:36,960 --> 02:24:39,720
and some borrowing to make those

3280
02:24:39,720 --> 02:24:41,280
improvements

3281
02:24:41,280 --> 02:24:43,380
this has been triggered because as you

3282
02:24:43,380 --> 02:24:45,780
may know we've got a number of uh

3283
02:24:45,780 --> 02:24:47,819
subdivision applications a number of

3284
02:24:47,819 --> 02:24:50,120
subdivisions that are being built out

3285
02:24:50,120 --> 02:24:53,100
we do a very good job at looking at the

3286
02:24:53,100 --> 02:24:56,280
flows of both water and waste water each

3287
02:24:56,280 --> 02:24:57,380
month

3288
02:24:57,380 --> 02:25:00,720
and we want to make sure that we have

3289
02:25:00,720 --> 02:25:03,240
capacity for that growth that's being

3290
02:25:03,240 --> 02:25:06,740
approved those housing subdivisions

3291
02:25:06,740 --> 02:25:09,420
so we've sort of been talking about

3292
02:25:09,420 --> 02:25:11,700
doing this for a couple of years and now

3293
02:25:11,700 --> 02:25:13,500
is certainly the time to go forward as

3294
02:25:13,500 --> 02:25:14,880
we're dealing with more and more

3295
02:25:14,880 --> 02:25:17,819
planning applications

3296
02:25:17,819 --> 02:25:19,560
okay that's sort of what's triggered it

3297
02:25:19,560 --> 02:25:20,880
is the amount of growth we're dealing

3298
02:25:20,880 --> 02:25:21,720
with

3299
02:25:21,720 --> 02:25:22,859
right

3300
02:25:22,859 --> 02:25:27,170
okay well thank you very much Jim

3301
02:25:27,180 --> 02:25:28,680
thank you

3302
02:25:28,680 --> 02:25:30,899
next budget is the Community Development

3303
02:25:30,899 --> 02:25:33,060
budget it deals with Community

3304
02:25:33,060 --> 02:25:34,920
Improvement plan Community collaboration

3305
02:25:34,920 --> 02:25:38,340
and local business resources and I will

3306
02:25:38,340 --> 02:25:40,859
turn this over to Jim to speak to this

3307
02:25:40,859 --> 02:25:42,359
as well

3308
02:25:42,359 --> 02:25:45,060
thanks Valerie through your worship

3309
02:25:45,060 --> 02:25:47,460
um so just turn to the notes on the

3310
02:25:47,460 --> 02:25:49,380
operating budget so

3311
02:25:49,380 --> 02:25:50,160
um

3312
02:25:50,160 --> 02:25:52,800
as Valerie's noted throughout

3313
02:25:52,800 --> 02:25:54,899
um adjustments cost of living

3314
02:25:54,899 --> 02:25:57,840
adjustments and benefit carrier costs

3315
02:25:57,840 --> 02:26:00,899
we have reduced the advertising and

3316
02:26:00,899 --> 02:26:04,260
promotion line item in the community

3317
02:26:04,260 --> 02:26:07,020
development budget it's something I

3318
02:26:07,020 --> 02:26:08,280
don't think we've ever come close to

3319
02:26:08,280 --> 02:26:10,680
approaching spending so that helps to

3320
02:26:10,680 --> 02:26:14,100
offset the increase in the fee for

3321
02:26:14,100 --> 02:26:15,960
service agreement with the Trent Hills

3322
02:26:15,960 --> 02:26:18,420
Chamber of Commerce which does tourism

3323
02:26:18,420 --> 02:26:20,460
promotion and business support for us

3324
02:26:20,460 --> 02:26:23,040
within the community

3325
02:26:23,040 --> 02:26:23,640
um

3326
02:26:23,640 --> 02:26:26,460
and also uh we've got some

3327
02:26:26,460 --> 02:26:29,520
additional utility adjustment costs to

3328
02:26:29,520 --> 02:26:32,340
the town square and Old Mill Park major

3329
02:26:32,340 --> 02:26:34,800
project we're doing and this funding

3330
02:26:34,800 --> 02:26:37,260
comes from our Reserve well a health

3331
02:26:37,260 --> 02:26:38,939
unit grant that we received a number of

3332
02:26:38,939 --> 02:26:42,000
years ago 6 500 and reserves for the

3333
02:26:42,000 --> 02:26:43,280
balance

3334
02:26:43,280 --> 02:26:45,960
an active Transportation plan that we'll

3335
02:26:45,960 --> 02:26:48,840
look at both our trails and our sidewalk

3336
02:26:48,840 --> 02:26:52,620
systems and how to encourage better use

3337
02:26:52,620 --> 02:26:54,300
within our infrastructure of active

3338
02:26:54,300 --> 02:26:56,220
transportation and how to make better

3339
02:26:56,220 --> 02:26:59,040
linkages using our trail system I don't

3340
02:26:59,040 --> 02:27:01,260
know whether Peter is all obviously

3341
02:27:01,260 --> 02:27:03,120
actively involved in that study I don't

3342
02:27:03,120 --> 02:27:03,960
know whether you want to add anything

3343
02:27:03,960 --> 02:27:05,700
about that Peter

3344
02:27:05,700 --> 02:27:08,100
thank you Jim through your worship we're

3345
02:27:08,100 --> 02:27:11,040
just in the process of reviewing the

3346
02:27:11,040 --> 02:27:13,500
specifications for the RFP

3347
02:27:13,500 --> 02:27:16,140
uh quote to go out to move forward with

3348
02:27:16,140 --> 02:27:18,420
securing a consultant to work on the

3349
02:27:18,420 --> 02:27:21,300
active Transportation plan with us

3350
02:27:21,300 --> 02:27:23,640
um so between

3351
02:27:23,640 --> 02:27:25,260
Our Community Development officer and

3352
02:27:25,260 --> 02:27:27,479
myself I'm sure at some point a report

3353
02:27:27,479 --> 02:27:29,280
will be coming back to council to to

3354
02:27:29,280 --> 02:27:34,309
update Council on that report

3355
02:27:34,319 --> 02:27:37,550
deputy mayor

thank you your worship

3357
02:27:39,120 --> 02:27:41,640
under the line grants agreements

3358
02:27:41,640 --> 02:27:44,640
requisitions at 75 000 is that specific

3359
02:27:44,640 --> 02:27:46,620
to

3360
02:27:46,620 --> 02:27:49,500
um any particular

3361
02:27:49,500 --> 02:27:51,899
obviously it is it's a line item on the

3362
02:27:51,899 --> 02:27:55,010
budget so

3363
02:27:55,020 --> 02:27:57,060
you that is for the community

3364
02:27:57,060 --> 02:27:59,640
Improvement Grant

3365
02:27:59,640 --> 02:28:00,960
of course yes

3366
02:28:00,960 --> 02:28:10,190
thanks Bob

3367
02:28:10,200 --> 02:28:13,439
uh the roads and storm is an internal uh

3368
02:28:13,439 --> 02:28:16,040
debt instrument for the doxey Avenue

3369
02:28:16,040 --> 02:28:18,899
infrastructure renewal project within

3370
02:28:18,899 --> 02:28:21,200
this budget we have a new debt payment

3371
02:28:21,200 --> 02:28:24,180
scheduled for the napan Island Bridge

3372
02:28:24,180 --> 02:28:26,160
Project again it was in accordance with

3373
02:28:26,160 --> 02:28:27,060
the

3374
02:28:27,060 --> 02:28:29,340
staff report that we brought forward for

3375
02:28:29,340 --> 02:28:31,319
Council to consider within the 2023

3376
02:28:31,319 --> 02:28:33,740
budget that particular

3377
02:28:33,740 --> 02:28:37,439
report indicated that we feel that we

3378
02:28:37,439 --> 02:28:39,479
have the capacity to fund that project

3379
02:28:39,479 --> 02:28:41,880
internally for a period of 10 years the

3380
02:28:41,880 --> 02:28:44,760
infrastructure Ontario rates are what we

3381
02:28:44,760 --> 02:28:47,939
used as the Benchmark and they were

3382
02:28:47,939 --> 02:28:50,580
well over four percent and we checked

3383
02:28:50,580 --> 02:28:52,560
them in August and again in October so

3384
02:28:52,560 --> 02:28:55,140
the municipality stands to save

3385
02:28:55,140 --> 02:28:58,680
approximately 195 to 200 000 should they

3386
02:28:58,680 --> 02:29:03,290
be able to fund this project internally

3387
02:29:03,300 --> 02:29:05,580
um the Emergency Services base we have

3388
02:29:05,580 --> 02:29:07,859
just noted in there that that debt is

3389
02:29:07,859 --> 02:29:09,479
distributed amongst two different

3390
02:29:09,479 --> 02:29:12,899
departments uh 81.97 of that is

3391
02:29:12,899 --> 02:29:14,780
allocated to the fire department in

3392
02:29:14,780 --> 02:29:17,520
18.03 is allocated to the administration

3393
02:29:17,520 --> 02:29:19,740
and again as I mentioned this does not

3394
02:29:19,740 --> 02:29:21,300
include Water and Wastewater debt

3395
02:29:21,300 --> 02:29:23,340
payments

3396
02:29:23,340 --> 02:29:27,359
uh page 55 of the budget document is a

3397
02:29:27,359 --> 02:29:29,580
summary of all of the various uh

3398
02:29:29,580 --> 02:29:32,520
departmental capital projects uh it's

3399
02:29:32,520 --> 02:29:34,439
it's really just a One-Stop shop for

3400
02:29:34,439 --> 02:29:36,720
Council to be able to go to if they want

3401
02:29:36,720 --> 02:29:37,920
to look at a summary of the capital

3402
02:29:37,920 --> 02:29:40,859
projects we start with the gross

3403
02:29:40,859 --> 02:29:42,840
expenditure and then how we're funding

3404
02:29:42,840 --> 02:29:44,340
those projects so you can see the

3405
02:29:44,340 --> 02:29:45,960
taxation component on the far right

3406
02:29:45,960 --> 02:29:48,600
we've noted any funding comments in

3407
02:29:48,600 --> 02:29:49,920
there

3408
02:29:49,920 --> 02:29:50,580
um

3409
02:29:50,580 --> 02:29:54,830
as well just for council's benefit

3410
02:29:54,840 --> 02:29:58,380
on page 56 of the document this is a new

3411
02:29:58,380 --> 02:30:00,240
page that we opted to include this year

3412
02:30:00,240 --> 02:30:03,420
which is again the total capital budget

3413
02:30:03,420 --> 02:30:05,880
but we've included all of the notes that

3414
02:30:05,880 --> 02:30:07,560
each department has

3415
02:30:07,560 --> 02:30:09,120
um supplied to the finance department

3416
02:30:09,120 --> 02:30:10,920
each year when we send out the budget we

3417
02:30:10,920 --> 02:30:13,260
ask them to provide us with a brief

3418
02:30:13,260 --> 02:30:15,960
explanation or a commentary about what

3419
02:30:15,960 --> 02:30:18,300
it is the initiative involves and so

3420
02:30:18,300 --> 02:30:20,100
we've opted to provide that so that it

3421
02:30:20,100 --> 02:30:22,020
gives some context to each of the

3422
02:30:22,020 --> 02:30:23,160
projects and I believe that's where

3423
02:30:23,160 --> 02:30:25,080
Council of English made reference to the

3424
02:30:25,080 --> 02:30:26,420
electric

3425
02:30:26,420 --> 02:30:29,340
yeah so it was in here so we we feel

3426
02:30:29,340 --> 02:30:30,859
that this is actually a beneficial

3427
02:30:30,859 --> 02:30:33,240
addition to the budget at least it is

3428
02:30:33,240 --> 02:30:34,920
for me as well so

3429
02:30:34,920 --> 02:30:37,620
and then on the next page which is the

3430
02:30:37,620 --> 02:30:40,080
summary of transfers to reserves this

3431
02:30:40,080 --> 02:30:41,880
particular document is again a summary

3432
02:30:41,880 --> 02:30:43,800
of what you see in each department it

3433
02:30:43,800 --> 02:30:46,020
summarizes all of the amounts that we

3434
02:30:46,020 --> 02:30:48,420
are hoping to transfer to reserve and

3435
02:30:48,420 --> 02:30:50,100
then subsequently the withdrawals from

3436
02:30:50,100 --> 02:30:52,979
those various reserves I just want to

3437
02:30:52,979 --> 02:30:54,899
make a note that

3438
02:30:54,899 --> 02:30:57,060
um some of the items that we are

3439
02:30:57,060 --> 02:30:58,620
withdrawing from reserves funding

3440
02:30:58,620 --> 02:31:00,120
through Reserve

3441
02:31:00,120 --> 02:31:03,180
Freedom so although that you know the

3442
02:31:03,180 --> 02:31:04,740
total amount that we're withdrawing from

3443
02:31:04,740 --> 02:31:06,960
the reserve is exceeds the amount we're

3444
02:31:06,960 --> 02:31:09,660
contributing to the reserves they are

3445
02:31:09,660 --> 02:31:12,240
projects that probably were in there for

3446
02:31:12,240 --> 02:31:13,500
a number of years so the funds are

3447
02:31:13,500 --> 02:31:18,110
available to be used so

3448
02:31:18,120 --> 02:31:18,840
thank you

3449
02:31:18,840 --> 02:31:21,479
so all in all we wanted just to have a

3450
02:31:21,479 --> 02:31:23,760
slide to demonstrate what percentage of

3451
02:31:23,760 --> 02:31:26,700
the tax dollar is allocated by each area

3452
02:31:26,700 --> 02:31:28,680
of service or department and you can see

3453
02:31:28,680 --> 02:31:32,580
here for the draft 2023 budget at this

3454
02:31:32,580 --> 02:31:35,100
point in time 40 percent of tax dollars

3455
02:31:35,100 --> 02:31:36,899
would be dedicated to transportation

3456
02:31:36,899 --> 02:31:40,560
services it is the a very expensive area

3457
02:31:40,560 --> 02:31:42,720
of the budget it Demands a lot of

3458
02:31:42,720 --> 02:31:44,939
resources followed by Parks and

3459
02:31:44,939 --> 02:31:47,040
Recreation and police and so on down the

3460
02:31:47,040 --> 02:31:49,080
line so we've started at the top and and

3461
02:31:49,080 --> 02:31:51,000
worked our way down but it really is

3462
02:31:51,000 --> 02:31:52,979
just a depiction of of where those tax

3463
02:31:52,979 --> 02:31:57,120
dollars are going in 2023.

3464
02:31:57,120 --> 02:31:59,819
uh the next slide I just want to I can't

3465
02:31:59,819 --> 02:32:01,979
I can't miss talking about assessment

3466
02:32:01,979 --> 02:32:03,840
information because it is an integral

3467
02:32:03,840 --> 02:32:07,319
part of how we will calculate tax rates

3468
02:32:07,319 --> 02:32:09,060
um as everyone is aware there's been a

3469
02:32:09,060 --> 02:32:11,580
postponement of reassessment uh during

3470
02:32:11,580 --> 02:32:13,800
the pandemic and so they have committed

3471
02:32:13,800 --> 02:32:16,859
to postponing that again for the 2023

3472
02:32:16,859 --> 02:32:18,859
property tax year

3473
02:32:18,859 --> 02:32:22,020
and so they do go out and they do assess

3474
02:32:22,020 --> 02:32:25,380
property changes such as if you

3475
02:32:25,380 --> 02:32:27,420
constructed a garage or a new home they

3476
02:32:27,420 --> 02:32:29,160
will be going out and actively picking

3477
02:32:29,160 --> 02:32:32,160
up that assessment that information is

3478
02:32:32,160 --> 02:32:33,120
um

3479
02:32:33,120 --> 02:32:36,420
received by impact from various sources

3480
02:32:36,420 --> 02:32:37,859
through the municipality so they are

3481
02:32:37,859 --> 02:32:40,380
aware of when that activity is occurring

3482
02:32:40,380 --> 02:32:43,439
so we'll bring forward a report once the

3483
02:32:43,439 --> 02:32:44,760
assessment role is delivered to the

3484
02:32:44,760 --> 02:32:47,460
municipality we will update our slides

3485
02:32:47,460 --> 02:32:49,140
for the next presentation but at this

3486
02:32:49,140 --> 02:32:52,620
point in time we've estimated one

3487
02:32:52,620 --> 02:32:55,380
percent increase to the residential tax

3488
02:32:55,380 --> 02:32:58,380
class and when you

3489
02:32:58,380 --> 02:33:00,660
when that flows through the various tax

3490
02:33:00,660 --> 02:33:03,899
tax classes it doesn't result in exactly

3491
02:33:03,899 --> 02:33:06,060
the one percent being applied to the

3492
02:33:06,060 --> 02:33:07,680
taxable assessment that we have

3493
02:33:07,680 --> 02:33:09,180
available but it is really just to

3494
02:33:09,180 --> 02:33:11,760
demonstrate that if we were to keep the

3495
02:33:11,760 --> 02:33:13,620
levy exactly as it is the tax labor

3496
02:33:13,620 --> 02:33:14,640
requirement

3497
02:33:14,640 --> 02:33:16,859
and having the assessment that we have

3498
02:33:16,859 --> 02:33:19,920
what would it means so

3499
02:33:19,920 --> 02:33:22,439
I've provided a slide on on page 60 that

3500
02:33:22,439 --> 02:33:24,359
shows you the changes in assessment over

3501
02:33:24,359 --> 02:33:27,899
over the course of 2019 to 2023 but I

3502
02:33:27,899 --> 02:33:29,399
think everybody really wants to know on

3503
02:33:29,399 --> 02:33:32,880
page 61 what what is that impact of

3504
02:33:32,880 --> 02:33:35,760
of this particular tax every requirement

3505
02:33:35,760 --> 02:33:38,100
based on the hypothetical one percent

3506
02:33:38,100 --> 02:33:41,520
increase in assessment change and so for

3507
02:33:41,520 --> 02:33:43,020
residential property that has an

3508
02:33:43,020 --> 02:33:46,020
assessed value of 250 000 meaning there

3509
02:33:46,020 --> 02:33:47,819
is no increase year over year between

3510
02:33:47,819 --> 02:33:51,960
2022 and 2023 your Municipal Taxes

3511
02:33:51,960 --> 02:33:54,200
um would go up by

3512
02:33:54,200 --> 02:33:58,439
53.67 it's approximately 21.46 for every

3513
02:33:58,439 --> 02:34:01,260
hundred thousand dollars of assessment

3514
02:34:01,260 --> 02:34:03,540
so we usually uh bring forward a very

3515
02:34:03,540 --> 02:34:05,939
comprehensive report at the time we

3516
02:34:05,939 --> 02:34:10,020
adopt the tax rates so for Budget

3517
02:34:10,020 --> 02:34:12,479
purposes uh we'll be seeking

3518
02:34:12,479 --> 02:34:15,840
uh approval at Future meetings when when

3519
02:34:15,840 --> 02:34:18,899
Council does its final deliberations we

3520
02:34:18,899 --> 02:34:21,240
would have a tax levery requirement and

3521
02:34:21,240 --> 02:34:23,040
again we would update the assessment

3522
02:34:23,040 --> 02:34:25,380
information and provide you with some

3523
02:34:25,380 --> 02:34:27,720
tax rate information and that should be

3524
02:34:27,720 --> 02:34:30,479
final at that time

3525
02:34:30,479 --> 02:34:34,560
so the next steps were as you can see

3526
02:34:34,560 --> 02:34:36,899
we're here today on the 22nd we intend

3527
02:34:36,899 --> 02:34:39,120
to bring the budget back on December

3528
02:34:39,120 --> 02:34:41,640
13th and again on January the 10th as

3529
02:34:41,640 --> 02:34:44,580
our Target approval date

3530
02:34:44,580 --> 02:34:47,340
we will be opening up

3531
02:34:47,340 --> 02:34:49,200
a comment submission form on the

3532
02:34:49,200 --> 02:34:51,840
municipal website if it hasn't launched

3533
02:34:51,840 --> 02:34:54,359
already it was to it will be today later

3534
02:34:54,359 --> 02:34:56,760
today launched so the public can

3535
02:34:56,760 --> 02:34:58,979
certainly provide comments they can

3536
02:34:58,979 --> 02:35:01,560
submit the information and we will

3537
02:35:01,560 --> 02:35:04,560
bring those comments back to council and

3538
02:35:04,560 --> 02:35:06,479
provide a formal response if there are

3539
02:35:06,479 --> 02:35:08,460
questions about various things

3540
02:35:08,460 --> 02:35:12,359
and for Council to consider as well

3541
02:35:12,359 --> 02:35:13,800
and uh

3542
02:35:13,800 --> 02:35:16,020
that's all I have at this time for the

3543
02:35:16,020 --> 02:35:18,420
municipal budget um thanks Rory and

3544
02:35:18,420 --> 02:35:21,830
we've um

3545
02:35:21,840 --> 02:35:23,460
Council report

3546
02:35:23,460 --> 02:35:26,399
through your worship um uh it's this

3547
02:35:26,399 --> 02:35:28,560
budget considered like reserve neutral

3548
02:35:28,560 --> 02:35:31,200
like we're basically

3549
02:35:31,200 --> 02:35:34,520
keeping our Reserves at the same level

3550
02:35:34,520 --> 02:35:37,140
there's quite a bit of movement within

3551
02:35:37,140 --> 02:35:38,700
the reserves you can see the the

3552
02:35:38,700 --> 02:35:41,939
budgeted contributions are less than the

3553
02:35:41,939 --> 02:35:46,859
budgeted withdrawals we have a number of

3554
02:35:46,859 --> 02:35:49,319
transfers that we have to do for 2022

3555
02:35:49,319 --> 02:35:51,120
and so

3556
02:35:51,120 --> 02:35:53,280
um each time that a department has come

3557
02:35:53,280 --> 02:35:56,300
forward and we've discussed the various

3558
02:35:56,300 --> 02:35:58,920
mechanisms of financing we have checked

3559
02:35:58,920 --> 02:36:01,080
those reserves but again we want to be

3560
02:36:01,080 --> 02:36:02,399
certain that

3561
02:36:02,399 --> 02:36:03,180
um

3562
02:36:03,180 --> 02:36:05,040
I mean certainly there's sufficient

3563
02:36:05,040 --> 02:36:06,660
Reserve

3564
02:36:06,660 --> 02:36:08,939
available for the projects that we are

3565
02:36:08,939 --> 02:36:10,859
proposing in this budget so I'm not sure

3566
02:36:10,859 --> 02:36:13,080
if Reserve revenue is the right term

3567
02:36:13,080 --> 02:36:15,060
because we are in fact decreasing the

3568
02:36:15,060 --> 02:36:17,880
total overall Reserves

3569
02:36:17,880 --> 02:36:19,380
um in more than what we are contributing

3570
02:36:19,380 --> 02:36:21,660
in 2023. yeah you'd mentioned that the

3571
02:36:21,660 --> 02:36:23,760
withdrawals some of them were supposed

3572
02:36:23,760 --> 02:36:26,399
to be used in Prior years is there an

3573
02:36:26,399 --> 02:36:29,640
amount that I mean this is unspent money

3574
02:36:29,640 --> 02:36:30,600
right

3575
02:36:30,600 --> 02:36:33,180
is that that is correct so things like

3576
02:36:33,180 --> 02:36:34,800
the um

3577
02:36:34,800 --> 02:36:38,520
for example the DC study and the

3578
02:36:38,520 --> 02:36:41,420
official plan and those things those

3579
02:36:41,420 --> 02:36:43,859
funds that have been added to the

3580
02:36:43,859 --> 02:36:46,140
reserve are as a result of fees and

3581
02:36:46,140 --> 02:36:48,000
charges that have been accumulated

3582
02:36:48,000 --> 02:36:52,500
through the various planning processes

3583
02:36:52,500 --> 02:36:55,620
so those funds uh if they were surpluses

3584
02:36:55,620 --> 02:36:56,880
at the end of the year were transferred

3585
02:36:56,880 --> 02:36:58,560
to reserves and are now going to be

3586
02:36:58,560 --> 02:37:01,560
drawn out of those reserves okay so not

3587
02:37:01,560 --> 02:37:04,319
like 1.2 million dollars worth of the

3588
02:37:04,319 --> 02:37:07,140
lake last year's budget wasn't spent

3589
02:37:07,140 --> 02:37:10,560
like we're just a bit of the amount

3590
02:37:10,560 --> 02:37:14,700
of the 2.3 million withdrawals

3591
02:37:14,700 --> 02:37:16,140
I

3592
02:37:16,140 --> 02:37:18,240
thought these were budgeted amounts that

3593
02:37:18,240 --> 02:37:21,060
you didn't use some of them that was

3594
02:37:21,060 --> 02:37:23,880
I'm probably not being clear so if we

3595
02:37:23,880 --> 02:37:26,819
aren't in a position to move forward

3596
02:37:26,819 --> 02:37:28,380
with a specific project for whatever

3597
02:37:28,380 --> 02:37:30,359
reason and I'll give you an example of

3598
02:37:30,359 --> 02:37:32,939
that if we had budgeted in 2022 to

3599
02:37:32,939 --> 02:37:34,620
purchase a vehicle

3600
02:37:34,620 --> 02:37:36,899
and the market conditions didn't allow

3601
02:37:36,899 --> 02:37:39,780
us to actually make that purchase and it

3602
02:37:39,780 --> 02:37:41,880
was to be funded from reserves there are

3603
02:37:41,880 --> 02:37:43,680
there is no transfer from Reserve that

3604
02:37:43,680 --> 02:37:44,880
will occur because there's not an

3605
02:37:44,880 --> 02:37:47,100
expenditure happening so

3606
02:37:47,100 --> 02:37:49,740
um that that premise will be for 2023 as

3607
02:37:49,740 --> 02:37:51,479
well

3608
02:37:51,479 --> 02:37:52,920
okay I'm

3609
02:37:52,920 --> 02:37:55,620
that uh because I mean 150 000 is

3610
02:37:55,620 --> 02:37:59,280
basically one tax percent is that

3611
02:37:59,280 --> 02:38:02,760
accurate increase okay

3612
02:38:02,760 --> 02:38:10,560
thank you worship

3613
02:38:10,560 --> 02:38:14,880
my question also uh goes on to reserves

3614
02:38:14,880 --> 02:38:17,819
and and like uh councilor Pope said I

3615
02:38:17,819 --> 02:38:20,100
feel there's a and and like you said Val

3616
02:38:20,100 --> 02:38:21,899
there's a significant draw this year on

3617
02:38:21,899 --> 02:38:24,000
on some Reserve

3618
02:38:24,000 --> 02:38:27,000
um categories to

3619
02:38:27,000 --> 02:38:30,240
tax levy where where it's acceptable for

3620
02:38:30,240 --> 02:38:31,680
for us

3621
02:38:31,680 --> 02:38:34,560
um also some of those reserves like you

3622
02:38:34,560 --> 02:38:36,840
said have been uh built up over time

3623
02:38:36,840 --> 02:38:39,740
knowingly that they're going to be spent

3624
02:38:39,740 --> 02:38:42,300
at a certain period and and this happens

3625
02:38:42,300 --> 02:38:44,460
to be the year for some of those

3626
02:38:44,460 --> 02:38:47,160
projects that we were forecasting with

3627
02:38:47,160 --> 02:38:49,859
the the reserve funds when allocating

3628
02:38:49,859 --> 02:38:51,180
the reserves

3629
02:38:51,180 --> 02:38:53,700
um how does it work within the within

3630
02:38:53,700 --> 02:38:55,620
the departments say

3631
02:38:55,620 --> 02:38:58,020
um over the years I mean there's some

3632
02:38:58,020 --> 02:39:00,240
that are short-term uh reserve

3633
02:39:00,240 --> 02:39:01,620
allocations and some that are going to

3634
02:39:01,620 --> 02:39:03,180
be longer term but how how do you

3635
02:39:03,180 --> 02:39:05,160
determine how are we determining within

3636
02:39:05,160 --> 02:39:08,100
the Department's the allocation to those

3637
02:39:08,100 --> 02:39:10,080
Reserve funds

3638
02:39:10,080 --> 02:39:13,920
through your worship so prior to well I

3639
02:39:13,920 --> 02:39:15,120
don't know how they did it in the past

3640
02:39:15,120 --> 02:39:17,520
but since I've arrived we do try to

3641
02:39:17,520 --> 02:39:19,560
maintain

3642
02:39:19,560 --> 02:39:22,340
surpluses and or deficits departmentally

3643
02:39:22,340 --> 02:39:24,780
so some municipalities if there's a

3644
02:39:24,780 --> 02:39:27,479
surplus in the prior year they will put

3645
02:39:27,479 --> 02:39:29,760
that to a general reserve for us we

3646
02:39:29,760 --> 02:39:32,460
monitor we have a mechanism in place

3647
02:39:32,460 --> 02:39:35,040
that you're in to look at where areas of

3648
02:39:35,040 --> 02:39:36,840
the budget are either overspent or under

3649
02:39:36,840 --> 02:39:38,939
spent and so we would transfer those

3650
02:39:38,939 --> 02:39:41,359
surpluses to the reserve departmentally

3651
02:39:41,359 --> 02:39:45,120
in terms of allocating it's really just

3652
02:39:45,120 --> 02:39:47,399
finding that specific

3653
02:39:47,399 --> 02:39:50,460
balance if you will about what capital

3654
02:39:50,460 --> 02:39:53,939
projects are required and was there a

3655
02:39:53,939 --> 02:39:55,859
mechanism in place for us to set those

3656
02:39:55,859 --> 02:39:58,500
funds aside over the course of time so

3657
02:39:58,500 --> 02:39:59,939
that now we've reached the point where

3658
02:39:59,939 --> 02:40:01,800
okay it's it's time we're going to buy

3659
02:40:01,800 --> 02:40:03,600
that we're going to draw all of the

3660
02:40:03,600 --> 02:40:05,819
funds from those reserves or is it a

3661
02:40:05,819 --> 02:40:08,220
matter of taking from various reserves

3662
02:40:08,220 --> 02:40:09,720
that we have under let's say

3663
02:40:09,720 --> 02:40:11,760
transportation services and just simply

3664
02:40:11,760 --> 02:40:13,680
trying to mitigate Tax Liberty

3665
02:40:13,680 --> 02:40:15,840
requirement increases

3666
02:40:15,840 --> 02:40:19,859
and ideally uh those allocations are

3667
02:40:19,859 --> 02:40:21,240
determined through a service review

3668
02:40:21,240 --> 02:40:23,700
within the department a lot of times

3669
02:40:23,700 --> 02:40:26,280
where you're forecasting into the future

3670
02:40:26,280 --> 02:40:29,399
what capital uh we're going to need and

3671
02:40:29,399 --> 02:40:32,220
so that service review is going to help

3672
02:40:32,220 --> 02:40:34,740
predict uh what we're putting into

3673
02:40:34,740 --> 02:40:36,660
reserves year over year in order to

3674
02:40:36,660 --> 02:40:39,300
complete that that task or that

3675
02:40:39,300 --> 02:40:42,120
acquisition

3676
02:40:42,120 --> 02:40:45,060
through your worship so we don't have a

3677
02:40:45,060 --> 02:40:47,520
formal some some departments do have a

3678
02:40:47,520 --> 02:40:50,220
sort of a a plan like an equipment

3679
02:40:50,220 --> 02:40:52,319
replacement plan that they know that you

3680
02:40:52,319 --> 02:40:54,479
know here's the 10-year forecast the

3681
02:40:54,479 --> 02:40:56,939
asset management Plan update I think

3682
02:40:56,939 --> 02:40:59,399
will be telling in terms of how much

3683
02:40:59,399 --> 02:41:01,800
money we should be dedicating to Future

3684
02:41:01,800 --> 02:41:04,500
uh requirements I think too there's a

3685
02:41:04,500 --> 02:41:06,359
roads need study that's underway and

3686
02:41:06,359 --> 02:41:09,240
just winding up and

3687
02:41:09,240 --> 02:41:12,540
um most times it'll be underfunded so

3688
02:41:12,540 --> 02:41:14,040
there really just isn't

3689
02:41:14,040 --> 02:41:16,260
you know in a perfect world we'd have a

3690
02:41:16,260 --> 02:41:17,939
dedicated Reserve that we would be

3691
02:41:17,939 --> 02:41:19,740
putting money away to for the eventual

3692
02:41:19,740 --> 02:41:21,600
acquisition of everything that we need

3693
02:41:21,600 --> 02:41:24,300
but it isn't sustainable we can't we

3694
02:41:24,300 --> 02:41:26,399
couldn't possibly tax for all of that so

3695
02:41:26,399 --> 02:41:28,080
it's really just finding that balance of

3696
02:41:28,080 --> 02:41:30,120
what we can do in terms of using

3697
02:41:30,120 --> 02:41:33,420
reserves and what's what's manageable by

3698
02:41:33,420 --> 02:41:35,460
the Departments right

3699
02:41:35,460 --> 02:41:39,359
uh and my last if if you'll indulge

3700
02:41:39,359 --> 02:41:42,899
um I just want to touch on growth

3701
02:41:42,899 --> 02:41:46,319
and how it's predicted in a budget and

3702
02:41:46,319 --> 02:41:48,660
what might alter the current tax levy

3703
02:41:48,660 --> 02:41:50,420
when we look at

3704
02:41:50,420 --> 02:41:56,389
uh predicted growth

3705
02:41:56,399 --> 02:41:59,460
is it it is

3706
02:41:59,460 --> 02:42:04,080
development growth is not in um

3707
02:42:04,080 --> 02:42:08,460
put into our our current budget it

3708
02:42:08,460 --> 02:42:11,990
through your

3709
02:42:12,000 --> 02:42:14,280
growth is looked at definitely in the

3710
02:42:14,280 --> 02:42:16,200
water and wastewater budget

3711
02:42:16,200 --> 02:42:17,880
um that comes hand in hand with the

3712
02:42:17,880 --> 02:42:19,620
development charges study we did it sort

3713
02:42:19,620 --> 02:42:21,359
of back to back

3714
02:42:21,359 --> 02:42:23,160
um

3715
02:42:23,160 --> 02:42:25,380
there are components of growth that are

3716
02:42:25,380 --> 02:42:26,819
built into the municipal budget

3717
02:42:26,819 --> 02:42:28,560
obviously the wear and tear on various

3718
02:42:28,560 --> 02:42:29,479
roads

3719
02:42:29,479 --> 02:42:32,220
and when we look at as I mentioned

3720
02:42:32,220 --> 02:42:34,200
before when we look at capital projects

3721
02:42:34,200 --> 02:42:35,760
that we're doing where we could

3722
02:42:35,760 --> 02:42:38,040
potentially pull from the development

3723
02:42:38,040 --> 02:42:39,479
charges Reserve fund we've already

3724
02:42:39,479 --> 02:42:41,340
identified those areas of development

3725
02:42:41,340 --> 02:42:43,500
potential development so there is a

3726
02:42:43,500 --> 02:42:45,420
component of that already existing in

3727
02:42:45,420 --> 02:42:46,859
the budget

3728
02:42:46,859 --> 02:42:48,180
um

3729
02:42:48,180 --> 02:42:50,640
there are fees that we look at as as

3730
02:42:50,640 --> 02:42:53,700
we've discussed going forward we can see

3731
02:42:53,700 --> 02:42:56,580
the historical Trend where we've had

3732
02:42:56,580 --> 02:42:58,439
spikes obviously in the last couple of

3733
02:42:58,439 --> 02:43:00,120
years for example in building and

3734
02:43:00,120 --> 02:43:03,060
planning where it's unprecedented quite

3735
02:43:03,060 --> 02:43:05,700
frankly and so you start to see that

3736
02:43:05,700 --> 02:43:06,359
um

3737
02:43:06,359 --> 02:43:08,460
and how you're going to deal with all of

3738
02:43:08,460 --> 02:43:10,260
that moving forward from a staffing

3739
02:43:10,260 --> 02:43:12,780
perspective as well as you know setting

3740
02:43:12,780 --> 02:43:15,000
those fees and rates

3741
02:43:15,000 --> 02:43:17,880
is there anything that we look at like

3742
02:43:17,880 --> 02:43:21,060
new tech like new taxation new build and

3743
02:43:21,060 --> 02:43:23,100
the prediction of that throughout the

3744
02:43:23,100 --> 02:43:26,889
year in the budget

3745
02:43:26,899 --> 02:43:29,160
that would come into play when we look

3746
02:43:29,160 --> 02:43:30,960
at the assessed value coming into the

3747
02:43:30,960 --> 02:43:32,939
municipality so

3748
02:43:32,939 --> 02:43:35,460
right now during the postponement

3749
02:43:35,460 --> 02:43:37,920
um historically the municipality would

3750
02:43:37,920 --> 02:43:40,800
have seen assessment increases of

3751
02:43:40,800 --> 02:43:42,560
anywhere between

3752
02:43:42,560 --> 02:43:45,000
three maybe and there was one year that

3753
02:43:45,000 --> 02:43:47,340
was at six percent when you have

3754
02:43:47,340 --> 02:43:48,780
um

3755
02:43:48,780 --> 02:43:50,939
severe growth happening like it's it's

3756
02:43:50,939 --> 02:43:53,040
accelerated we haven't been seeing that

3757
02:43:53,040 --> 02:43:54,540
because of the postponement I'm not

3758
02:43:54,540 --> 02:43:56,880
suggesting for one moment that we get a

3759
02:43:56,880 --> 02:43:58,859
windfall of assessment and you know

3760
02:43:58,859 --> 02:44:01,380
start to to drive things up but with

3761
02:44:01,380 --> 02:44:03,780
those increased assessed values that's

3762
02:44:03,780 --> 02:44:05,580
very telling because it tells us that

3763
02:44:05,580 --> 02:44:07,140
there's there's more properties to be

3764
02:44:07,140 --> 02:44:08,580
serviced there's more services being

3765
02:44:08,580 --> 02:44:10,680
demanded by the residents so of course

3766
02:44:10,680 --> 02:44:12,540
we have to look at those things when we

3767
02:44:12,540 --> 02:44:14,520
are planning for budgets just as Peter

3768
02:44:14,520 --> 02:44:16,740
has indicated like the staff time that's

3769
02:44:16,740 --> 02:44:19,080
required to go out and maintain Parks

3770
02:44:19,080 --> 02:44:20,520
well maybe there's a new park as a

3771
02:44:20,520 --> 02:44:22,020
result of a development that's come on

3772
02:44:22,020 --> 02:44:24,899
board that was never there before

3773
02:44:24,899 --> 02:44:27,849
thanks Phil

3774
02:44:27,859 --> 02:44:32,819
Council Brady uh Mr Mayor in the couple

3775
02:44:32,819 --> 02:44:35,060
months prayer we had two different

3776
02:44:35,060 --> 02:44:37,740
delegations approach Council

3777
02:44:37,740 --> 02:44:40,380
one was a nurse practitioner another one

3778
02:44:40,380 --> 02:44:43,200
was a medical doctor and their thought

3779
02:44:43,200 --> 02:44:45,899
was is there any

3780
02:44:45,899 --> 02:44:48,479
possibility that the council would

3781
02:44:48,479 --> 02:44:51,600
entertain some assistance to

3782
02:44:51,600 --> 02:44:54,060
get more nurse practitioners in our

3783
02:44:54,060 --> 02:44:57,780
community and I thought at that time we

3784
02:44:57,780 --> 02:44:58,979
were kind of

3785
02:44:58,979 --> 02:45:00,960
we've kind of put it on the back burner

3786
02:45:00,960 --> 02:45:02,939
but we're gonna

3787
02:45:02,939 --> 02:45:05,040
research it some more

3788
02:45:05,040 --> 02:45:08,399
if it when if we do research it some

3789
02:45:08,399 --> 02:45:10,740
more is there an Avenue to reach out for

3790
02:45:10,740 --> 02:45:13,920
some money that we might provide housing

3791
02:45:13,920 --> 02:45:17,460
for a person or accommodations or

3792
02:45:17,460 --> 02:45:19,500
something like that that was the theme

3793
02:45:19,500 --> 02:45:22,500
of the of the presentation I just wonder

3794
02:45:22,500 --> 02:45:24,899
is there someplace in the budget we

3795
02:45:24,899 --> 02:45:27,540
could grab some money if if we did have

3796
02:45:27,540 --> 02:45:30,000
this discussion and it was turned

3797
02:45:30,000 --> 02:45:32,340
positive in that regard or has there

3798
02:45:32,340 --> 02:45:35,220
been closed door sessions that I'm

3799
02:45:35,220 --> 02:45:36,660
unaware of

3800
02:45:36,660 --> 02:45:39,770
please

3801
02:45:39,780 --> 02:45:41,819
I'm sure I can try and address that so

3802
02:45:41,819 --> 02:45:43,260
it has been

3803
02:45:43,260 --> 02:45:45,720
um sort of an evolving situation so

3804
02:45:45,720 --> 02:45:46,740
you're quite right there were a number

3805
02:45:46,740 --> 02:45:49,680
of uh delegations that came last year

3806
02:45:49,680 --> 02:45:52,439
um or this year I guess and

3807
02:45:52,439 --> 02:45:54,180
um you know the outcome of that was to

3808
02:45:54,180 --> 02:45:56,760
continue to work with the physician

3809
02:45:56,760 --> 02:45:57,960
recruitment committee and the Trent

3810
02:45:57,960 --> 02:45:59,399
Health Family Health Team specifically

3811
02:45:59,399 --> 02:46:01,800
which is what's been happening we do

3812
02:46:01,800 --> 02:46:03,680
have staff that sit on that committee

3813
02:46:03,680 --> 02:46:06,060
and I believe a request has come forward

3814
02:46:06,060 --> 02:46:07,859
to actually have Council representation

3815
02:46:07,859 --> 02:46:09,840
on that committee going forward so we'll

3816
02:46:09,840 --> 02:46:14,100
be dealing with that when the um Council

3817
02:46:14,100 --> 02:46:15,420
representatives are chosen for the

3818
02:46:15,420 --> 02:46:16,920
Committees coming up over the next month

3819
02:46:16,920 --> 02:46:20,040
so there's that support there in terms

3820
02:46:20,040 --> 02:46:22,260
of financial support I mean there always

3821
02:46:22,260 --> 02:46:25,319
has been existing support in the to the

3822
02:46:25,319 --> 02:46:29,399
tune of 70 75 000

3823
02:46:29,399 --> 02:46:31,560
um to The Physician recruitment efforts

3824
02:46:31,560 --> 02:46:33,780
in Trent Hills so that amount is given

3825
02:46:33,780 --> 02:46:35,760
annually to the hospital so that has not

3826
02:46:35,760 --> 02:46:36,800
changed

3827
02:46:36,800 --> 02:46:39,720
but to your question about I guess if

3828
02:46:39,720 --> 02:46:42,660
Council has uh the desire to increase

3829
02:46:42,660 --> 02:46:45,120
that amount at some point is there

3830
02:46:45,120 --> 02:46:47,700
capacity within this budget as if it's

3831
02:46:47,700 --> 02:46:49,920
passed as is so

3832
02:46:49,920 --> 02:46:52,380
um you know there's AS Val would point

3833
02:46:52,380 --> 02:46:53,899
out there's the council initiatives

3834
02:46:53,899 --> 02:46:56,640
Reserve I mean certainly there would be

3835
02:46:56,640 --> 02:46:58,740
that ability but I don't think we're in

3836
02:46:58,740 --> 02:47:02,100
a position right now to quantify exactly

3837
02:47:02,100 --> 02:47:03,420
what that support would look like in

3838
02:47:03,420 --> 02:47:04,920
order to include a line item in the

3839
02:47:04,920 --> 02:47:06,359

councilor Pope is and forgive me if I

missed it is there a way that we could

3846
02:47:19,920 --> 02:47:21,240
understand the balances of these

3847
02:47:21,240 --> 02:47:22,380
reserves

3848
02:47:22,380 --> 02:47:23,100
um

3849
02:47:23,100 --> 02:47:24,600
through the through the budget and

3850
02:47:24,600 --> 02:47:26,580
understand not necessarily neutral but

3851
02:47:26,580 --> 02:47:29,120
where each of the reserved balances are

3852
02:47:29,120 --> 02:47:32,580
three worship so um we did circulate a

3853
02:47:32,580 --> 02:47:36,240
report uh yesterday that showed the

3854
02:47:36,240 --> 02:47:37,800
balance of the reserves as of December

3855
02:47:37,800 --> 02:47:39,800
31st 2021

3856
02:47:39,800 --> 02:47:42,540
we don't have a dedicated budget

3857
02:47:42,540 --> 02:47:44,939
document that shows the balance at 2021

3858
02:47:44,939 --> 02:47:47,340
contributions I I can Envision what

3859
02:47:47,340 --> 02:47:49,920
you're asking for the issue at this

3860
02:47:49,920 --> 02:47:51,479
point in time is that I haven't

3861
02:47:51,479 --> 02:47:53,340
completed or we haven't completed all of

3862
02:47:53,340 --> 02:47:55,399
the transfers to and from reserves for

3863
02:47:55,399 --> 02:47:58,439
2022. so I could provide you with

3864
02:47:58,439 --> 02:48:01,560
something which would only show you a

3865
02:48:01,560 --> 02:48:04,200
beginning balance in 2021 budgeted

3866
02:48:04,200 --> 02:48:06,720

3868
02:48:09,780 --> 02:48:12,240
transfers that have been done but we

3869
02:48:12,240 --> 02:48:13,740
would prefer to wait to the end of the

3870
02:48:13,740 --> 02:48:14,880
year because there's still going to be

3871
02:48:14,880 --> 02:48:16,979
movement within those reserves we do on

3872
02:48:16,979 --> 02:48:18,960
an annual basis though bring forward a

3873
02:48:18,960 --> 02:48:23,160

3874
02:48:23,160 --> 02:48:24,840

we are going to report Finance 2022-025

3920
03:06:46,740 --> 03:06:49,740
the 2023 draft Water and Wastewater

3921
03:06:49,740 --> 03:06:54,720
budget and once again we have Valerie

3922
03:06:54,720 --> 03:06:59,100
you worship so moving

3923
03:06:59,100 --> 03:07:03,180
Wastewater budget for 2023 just as a an

3924
03:07:03,180 --> 03:07:06,120
overview for new members of council so

3925
03:07:06,120 --> 03:07:07,800
we do have drinking water and wastewater

3926
03:07:07,800 --> 03:07:09,600
systems obviously in the three

3927
03:07:09,600 --> 03:07:11,220
communities being Campbellford Hastings

3928
03:07:11,220 --> 03:07:12,899
and warkworth and they are user pay

3929
03:07:12,899 --> 03:07:15,180
systems meaning that those properties

3930
03:07:15,180 --> 03:07:17,160
that are either utilizing the services

3931
03:07:17,160 --> 03:07:19,200
or are within the mandatory connection

3932
03:07:19,200 --> 03:07:21,060
areas are subject to the applicable

3933
03:07:21,060 --> 03:07:23,819
rates fees and charges

3934
03:07:23,819 --> 03:07:26,399
um so we have broken down the budgets in

3935
03:07:26,399 --> 03:07:28,319
the same manner of that we did for the

3936
03:07:28,319 --> 03:07:29,580
municipal we have the operating

3937
03:07:29,580 --> 03:07:31,319
component that relates to the day-to-day

3938
03:07:31,319 --> 03:07:33,300
activities we have amounts that are

3939
03:07:33,300 --> 03:07:35,340
transferred to reserves um to help

3940
03:07:35,340 --> 03:07:37,680
Finance projects over the long term and

3941
03:07:37,680 --> 03:07:39,720
then our capital budget

3942
03:07:39,720 --> 03:07:41,819
the municipality did undertake a water

3943
03:07:41,819 --> 03:07:43,859
and wastewater rate study and it was

3944
03:07:43,859 --> 03:07:47,760
approved by Council in early 2020 we do

3945
03:07:47,760 --> 03:07:50,760
Endeavor to follow that study in terms

3946
03:07:50,760 --> 03:07:54,300
of the rates that are built into that

3947
03:07:54,300 --> 03:07:57,060
study there are some things that are

3948
03:07:57,060 --> 03:08:00,180
happening in the budget such as

3949
03:08:00,180 --> 03:08:03,660
insurance and the benefit component from

3950
03:08:03,660 --> 03:08:06,359
the wages and benefits side of it that

3951
03:08:06,359 --> 03:08:09,000
are outpacing the study to some degree

3952
03:08:09,000 --> 03:08:10,680
particularly

3953
03:08:10,680 --> 03:08:11,580
um

3954
03:08:11,580 --> 03:08:14,640
so they are outpacing it so what we've

3955
03:08:14,640 --> 03:08:16,800
had to do for the water side of it is we

3956
03:08:16,800 --> 03:08:17,880
do have

3957
03:08:17,880 --> 03:08:22,020
um we have few options to

3958
03:08:22,020 --> 03:08:24,960
to meet the expenditures that are not

3959
03:08:24,960 --> 03:08:26,040
user

3960
03:08:26,040 --> 03:08:30,540
related so we have increased our bulk

3961
03:08:30,540 --> 03:08:33,120
water rates to uh to offset so that we

3962
03:08:33,120 --> 03:08:34,920
can maintain the user rates that you see

3963
03:08:34,920 --> 03:08:37,560
in the study and uh on the Wastewater

3964
03:08:37,560 --> 03:08:38,819
side we have a little bit more

3965
03:08:38,819 --> 03:08:40,800
flexibility because we do have leachate

3966
03:08:40,800 --> 03:08:42,300
Revenue which is not built into the

3967
03:08:42,300 --> 03:08:45,359
budget but we'll go through that so I'm

3968
03:08:45,359 --> 03:08:46,800
just going to start here with the audit

3969
03:08:46,800 --> 03:08:49,080
water operations we have outlined for

3970
03:08:49,080 --> 03:08:50,880
Council some of the activities don't

3971
03:08:50,880 --> 03:08:53,040
change from year to year what we've

3972
03:08:53,040 --> 03:08:54,840
highlighted for you some of the things

3973
03:08:54,840 --> 03:08:57,000
that we that are

3974
03:08:57,000 --> 03:08:59,640
that the water and wastewater staff do

3975
03:08:59,640 --> 03:09:01,740
on a daily and weekly monthly basis and

3976
03:09:01,740 --> 03:09:03,779
Scott if you would like to just talk

3977
03:09:03,779 --> 03:09:04,920
about some of those things that your

3978
03:09:04,920 --> 03:09:09,410
staff do

3979
03:09:09,420 --> 03:09:11,040
thanks Valerie

3980
03:09:11,040 --> 03:09:13,380
um yes so what I mean there several of

3981
03:09:13,380 --> 03:09:15,000
the items here that the department or

3982
03:09:15,000 --> 03:09:17,279
division looks looks after are listed

3983
03:09:17,279 --> 03:09:18,600
here so

3984
03:09:18,600 --> 03:09:20,939
um we look after for certainly on the

3985
03:09:20,939 --> 03:09:23,580
revenue side I mean uh water meter

3986
03:09:23,580 --> 03:09:27,120
reading billing those types of things

3987
03:09:27,120 --> 03:09:30,479
um there are six persons in in the

3988
03:09:30,479 --> 03:09:31,340
department

3989
03:09:31,340 --> 03:09:33,840
we look after three water treatment

3990
03:09:33,840 --> 03:09:37,140
facilities um three water towers the

3991
03:09:37,140 --> 03:09:38,939
three Distribution Systems all being

3992
03:09:38,939 --> 03:09:40,740
part of the camelford Hastings and

3993

um staff look after basically all of the

3995
03:09:46,200 --> 03:09:48,180
the maintenance to do with those items

3996
03:09:48,180 --> 03:09:49,859
there certainly is some contracted out

3997
03:09:49,859 --> 03:09:52,040
services that are more specialized

3998
03:09:52,040 --> 03:09:54,720
within that there's weekly sampling

3999
03:09:54,720 --> 03:09:56,220
there's quarterly sampling there's

4000
03:09:56,220 --> 03:09:57,960
there's several different annual reports

4001
03:09:57,960 --> 03:09:59,580
that have to be submitted to to the

4002
03:09:59,580 --> 03:10:01,680
ministry as well

4003
03:10:01,680 --> 03:10:04,319
um we also look after all the locates

4004
03:10:04,319 --> 03:10:06,479

uh street lights storm sanitary as well

4006
03:10:09,960 --> 03:10:11,060
as water

4007
03:10:11,060 --> 03:10:14,160
infrastructure we maintain all the

4008
03:10:14,160 --> 03:10:15,779
hydrants there's there's a number of

4009
03:10:15,779 --> 03:10:18,600
hydrants I think there's 330 in in the

4010
03:10:18,600 --> 03:10:21,420
system so those are maintained they're

4011
03:10:21,420 --> 03:10:24,420
flushed twice annually as as well as

4012
03:10:24,420 --> 03:10:25,859
staff do all the maintenance on those

4013
03:10:25,859 --> 03:10:29,760
those items and we look after one

4014
03:10:29,760 --> 03:10:32,040
booster pumping station and we have two

4015
03:10:32,040 --> 03:10:33,359

03:10:33,359 --> 03:10:39,590
pressure reducing stations as well

4017
03:10:39,600 --> 03:10:42,120
so on page four of the presentation we

4018
03:10:42,120 --> 03:10:44,939
have broken down the

4019
03:10:44,939 --> 03:10:46,319
uh some we have a summary of gross

4020
03:10:46,319 --> 03:10:48,120
revenues and expenditures again in the

4021
03:10:48,120 --> 03:10:49,800
same format that we did for the

4022
03:10:49,800 --> 03:10:52,800
municipal budget so year over year you

4023
03:10:52,800 --> 03:10:54,420
can see on the operating side we have an

4024
03:10:54,420 --> 03:10:56,040
increase in our expenditures of forty

4025
03:10:56,040 --> 03:10:59,510
six thousand eight ninety two

4026
03:10:59,520 --> 03:11:02,160
on charges and again if you were to look

4027
03:11:02,160 --> 03:11:03,720
at the study it is slightly higher

4028
03:11:03,720 --> 03:11:05,279
because we're trying to introduce more

4029
03:11:05,279 --> 03:11:07,800
bulk water Revenue again to offset those

4030
03:11:07,800 --> 03:11:10,140
expenditures that we can't control such

4031
03:11:10,140 --> 03:11:12,779
as insurance and so the user rate

4032
03:11:12,779 --> 03:11:17,640
Revenue projected for uh 2023 is 1.7

4033
03:11:17,640 --> 03:11:20,420
million an increase of 24

4034
03:11:20,420 --> 03:11:23,160
699 coming from user rate revenue for

4035
03:11:23,160 --> 03:11:25,800
operating expenses

4036
03:11:25,800 --> 03:11:28,920
on the transfer side again it's per the

4037
03:11:28,920 --> 03:11:31,979
study the study indicates that the

4038
03:11:31,979 --> 03:11:33,720
transfers to reserves really essentially

4039
03:11:33,720 --> 03:11:36,300
will fund all future capital projects so

4040
03:11:36,300 --> 03:11:38,580
we have an allocation within the budget

4041
03:11:38,580 --> 03:11:41,040
each year for that purpose connection

4042
03:11:41,040 --> 03:11:43,680
charges also will help fund some of the

4043
03:11:43,680 --> 03:11:45,240
capital programs

4044
03:11:45,240 --> 03:11:48,899
as far as capital you can see there that

4045
03:11:48,899 --> 03:11:50,819
there is a huge increase because we have

4046
03:11:50,819 --> 03:11:52,800
a number of capital projects that will

4047
03:11:52,800 --> 03:11:55,319
be funded through a series of Grants and

4048
03:11:55,319 --> 03:11:59,460
external financing or and or Reserves

4049
03:11:59,460 --> 03:12:01,620
typically in the if you were to look to

4050
03:12:01,620 --> 03:12:05,040
the study there was or is a provisional

4051
03:12:05,040 --> 03:12:08,279
Capital line item in the budget so again

4052
03:12:08,279 --> 03:12:10,020
we're we're exceeding what that

4053
03:12:10,020 --> 03:12:11,520
provisional line item is because we have

4054
03:12:11,520 --> 03:12:12,779
a number of those capital projects

4055
03:12:12,779 --> 03:12:15,420
happening in in either this year or a

4056
03:12:15,420 --> 03:12:17,460
combination of 23 and some very well may

4057
03:12:17,460 --> 03:12:19,380
be carried over to 2024 but we've

4058
03:12:19,380 --> 03:12:21,840
included them here for the purpose of

4059
03:12:21,840 --> 03:12:24,060
the discussion the operating budget

4060
03:12:24,060 --> 03:12:25,439
according to the study we were to

4061
03:12:25,439 --> 03:12:27,180
increase those expenses by two percent

4062
03:12:27,180 --> 03:12:29,340
and so that's what you're seeing here is

4063
03:12:29,340 --> 03:12:31,260
the two percent uh going through save

4064
03:12:31,260 --> 03:12:33,479
and accept of course the capital

4065
03:12:33,479 --> 03:12:37,200
uh so user rates uh between year over

4066
03:12:37,200 --> 03:12:39,120
year will be 2 million just over 2

4067
03:12:39,120 --> 03:12:41,040
million dollars it will we will raise

4068
03:12:41,040 --> 03:12:43,200
through user rates

4069
03:12:43,200 --> 03:12:47,160
which is an increase of 84 396 or 4.39

4070
03:12:47,160 --> 03:12:48,720
percent

4071
03:12:48,720 --> 03:12:50,460
we've broken it down for you on the next

4072
03:12:50,460 --> 03:12:52,620
slide again where you can see some of

4073
03:12:52,620 --> 03:12:54,920
those changes wages and benefits

4074
03:12:54,920 --> 03:12:57,899
materials and supplies materials and

4075
03:12:57,899 --> 03:12:59,760
supplies are things like memberships and

4076
03:12:59,760 --> 03:13:02,040
licenses and fuel chemicals those kinds

4077
03:13:02,040 --> 03:13:04,620
of things contracted services that big

4078
03:13:04,620 --> 03:13:07,160
jump there is for insurance

4079
03:13:07,160 --> 03:13:12,300
out of that 21 991 14 000 of it alone is

4080
03:13:12,300 --> 03:13:15,660
insurance that has is being incurred as

4081
03:13:15,660 --> 03:13:18,899
a projected cost increase

4082
03:13:18,899 --> 03:13:21,600
um the financial the general those are

4083
03:13:21,600 --> 03:13:24,840
external equipment rentals and the debt

4084
03:13:24,840 --> 03:13:26,700
payments are payments for infrastructure

4085
03:13:26,700 --> 03:13:28,200
projects that have been in place for a

4086
03:13:28,200 --> 03:13:30,420
number of years so that hasn't changed

4087
03:13:30,420 --> 03:13:33,000
transfers to reserves again that is in

4088
03:13:33,000 --> 03:13:34,859
accordance with the study in order to

4089
03:13:34,859 --> 03:13:37,439
fund future capital projects and then we

4090
03:13:37,439 --> 03:13:39,960
have an increase year over year of the

4091
03:13:39,960 --> 03:13:40,800
um

4092
03:13:40,800 --> 03:13:43,260
the capital budget and the next slide

4093
03:13:43,260 --> 03:13:45,600
speaks to all of those individual

4094
03:13:45,600 --> 03:13:47,100
projects but again we're going to be

4095
03:13:47,100 --> 03:13:49,080
drawing down either from The Reserve or

4096
03:13:49,080 --> 03:13:51,240
Reserve funds or go to external

4097
03:13:51,240 --> 03:13:53,580
financing to fund some of those capital

4098
03:13:53,580 --> 03:13:55,979
projects so I'm going to turn it over to

4099
03:13:55,979 --> 03:13:58,020
Scott to give you some context about the

4100
03:13:58,020 --> 03:13:59,279
capital projects that we've been working

4101
03:13:59,279 --> 03:14:02,510
on in 2023

4102
03:14:02,520 --> 03:14:04,319
thanks Valerie

4103
03:14:04,319 --> 03:14:06,779
um so the the first item there is is

4104
03:14:06,779 --> 03:14:08,220
Park Street water main replacement

4105
03:14:08,220 --> 03:14:11,040
that's in that's in Hastings um that's a

4106
03:14:11,040 --> 03:14:12,540
project that's

4107
03:14:12,540 --> 03:14:14,160
I guess became somewhat of the next

4108
03:14:14,160 --> 03:14:16,859
priority um for Hastings

4109
03:14:16,859 --> 03:14:18,359
um that water main in particular is

4110
03:14:18,359 --> 03:14:21,060
about 60 years of age it's it's cast

4111
03:14:21,060 --> 03:14:23,460
iron material which we we were trying to

4112
03:14:23,460 --> 03:14:25,740
eliminate in all of the systems for that

4113
03:14:25,740 --> 03:14:27,420
matter so

4114
03:14:27,420 --> 03:14:29,640
um we've allocated funding for that this

4115
03:14:29,640 --> 03:14:31,680
year as well as replacement of all the

4116
03:14:31,680 --> 03:14:32,779
services

4117
03:14:32,779 --> 03:14:36,300
Wellington Street also in Hastings this

4118
03:14:36,300 --> 03:14:37,859
project there is no water main on that

4119
03:14:37,859 --> 03:14:40,800
street there's sanitary sewer so

4120
03:14:40,800 --> 03:14:44,220
by installing water main we will it'll

4121
03:14:44,220 --> 03:14:47,160
basically allow development of of a few

4122
03:14:47,160 --> 03:14:48,960
several Lots on that street actually so

4123
03:14:48,960 --> 03:14:50,520
this will be upfronted by the

4124
03:14:50,520 --> 03:14:53,220
municipality now but will be sort of the

4125
03:14:53,220 --> 03:14:55,740
cost recovery will be built into some

4126
03:14:55,740 --> 03:14:57,479
agreements with those potential

4127
03:14:57,479 --> 03:14:59,939
developments on that street

4128
03:14:59,939 --> 03:15:01,260
um the next one is the standpipe

4129
03:15:01,260 --> 03:15:03,540
upgrades which Just For All council's

4130
03:15:03,540 --> 03:15:05,460
Purpose that would be the what we call

4131
03:15:05,460 --> 03:15:07,260
the water tower it just happens that

4132
03:15:07,260 --> 03:15:09,479
camel or Hastings is that style is

4133
03:15:09,479 --> 03:15:11,700
called a standpipe so if you've been in

4134
03:15:11,700 --> 03:15:13,319
Hastings you can definitely see that

4135
03:15:13,319 --> 03:15:15,359
it's it's certainly

4136
03:15:15,359 --> 03:15:17,700
need some some repair so we're looking

4137
03:15:17,700 --> 03:15:19,319
at replacing that this has been

4138
03:15:19,319 --> 03:15:21,000
something that's been identified as

4139
03:15:21,000 --> 03:15:24,060
Valerie said we were uh we've been uh

4140
03:15:24,060 --> 03:15:25,500
we're fortunate in getting some grant

4141
03:15:25,500 --> 03:15:26,819
funding from the provincial and federal

4142
03:15:26,819 --> 03:15:32,630
levels for this this project as well

4143
03:15:32,640 --> 03:15:34,979
um second water main Crossing in

4144
03:15:34,979 --> 03:15:37,800
Hastings again we we were submitted

4145
03:15:37,800 --> 03:15:39,359
funding this Project's actually been

4146
03:15:39,359 --> 03:15:42,300
sitting on the shelf since 2016.

4147
03:15:42,300 --> 03:15:44,760
um we were able to secure some funding

4148
03:15:44,760 --> 03:15:46,680
at the provincial and federal levels and

4149
03:15:46,680 --> 03:15:49,439
we're proposing to move it forward in

4150
03:15:49,439 --> 03:15:50,779
2023

4151
03:15:50,779 --> 03:15:53,220
currently in Hastings there is only one

4152
03:15:53,220 --> 03:15:55,260
water main Crossing it's it's a pipe

4153
03:15:55,260 --> 03:15:56,700
that's suspended on the traffic Bridge

4154
03:15:56,700 --> 03:15:59,340
there it's been like that since the the

4155
03:15:59,340 --> 03:16:02,100
system was built in in 1962 and it's

4156
03:16:02,100 --> 03:16:04,500
just uh I think everyone can appreciate

4157
03:16:04,500 --> 03:16:05,760
the fact that if something happens to

4158
03:16:05,760 --> 03:16:07,800
that water main then we have you know an

4159
03:16:07,800 --> 03:16:09,779
entire south side of the river out of

4160
03:16:09,779 --> 03:16:11,700
water so that would be about 800

4161
03:16:11,700 --> 03:16:15,359
customers or 800 residents so we sort of

4162
03:16:15,359 --> 03:16:17,520
want to alleviate that issue and create

4163
03:16:17,520 --> 03:16:20,640
some redundancy here also at Hastings

4164
03:16:20,640 --> 03:16:23,160
Water Treatment Plant um this is just a

4165
03:16:23,160 --> 03:16:25,560
basically a standard these chlorinated

4166
03:16:25,560 --> 03:16:27,120
replacement it was done as part of the

4167
03:16:27,120 --> 03:16:29,819
upgrades back in 2023 and it's reached

4168
03:16:29,819 --> 03:16:31,380
its uh

4169
03:16:31,380 --> 03:16:33,540
reached its life expectancy so it's due

4170
03:16:33,540 --> 03:16:35,279
for replacement

4171
03:16:35,279 --> 03:16:37,080
um Valerie alluded to this or we talked

4172
03:16:37,080 --> 03:16:38,580
about this in the other budget the Randy

4173
03:16:38,580 --> 03:16:41,160
Street construction project and the

4174
03:16:41,160 --> 03:16:42,779
amount listed here is just the water

4175
03:16:42,779 --> 03:16:45,000
portion of that

4176
03:16:45,000 --> 03:16:46,100
um it's about

4177
03:16:46,100 --> 03:16:48,840
350 meters of water main replacement at

4178
03:16:48,840 --> 03:16:52,680
about 30 Water Services the other

4179
03:16:52,680 --> 03:16:54,359
portion of that Seymour Quarry Road we

4180
03:16:54,359 --> 03:16:56,220
spoke to that as well and that's just

4181
03:16:56,220 --> 03:16:58,620
the water portion that's going to be

4182
03:16:58,620 --> 03:17:00,720
allocated towards the the budget for

4183
03:17:00,720 --> 03:17:01,700
this year

4184
03:17:01,700 --> 03:17:04,680
and then in work worth we have uh

4185
03:17:04,680 --> 03:17:06,000
generator replacement some

4186
03:17:06,000 --> 03:17:07,620
instrumentation work at the at the water

4187
03:17:07,620 --> 03:17:09,779
treatment plant the existing generator

4188
03:17:09,779 --> 03:17:11,939
there was was put it was part of the

4189
03:17:11,939 --> 03:17:13,200
original

4190
03:17:13,200 --> 03:17:15,300
I guess upgrade to the plant back in

4191
03:17:15,300 --> 03:17:17,100
1993

4192
03:17:17,100 --> 03:17:19,200
um it's just that again that piece of

4193
03:17:19,200 --> 03:17:21,479
equipment is just due for Renewal so

4194
03:17:21,479 --> 03:17:28,330
we've we've identified it here

4195
03:17:28,340 --> 03:17:32,040
thank you so we as as we have in past

4196
03:17:32,040 --> 03:17:35,520
years we've identified uh a summary of

4197
03:17:35,520 --> 03:17:37,560
the water debt payments the next one is

4198
03:17:37,560 --> 03:17:41,939
set to expire in 2024 those annual debt

4199
03:17:41,939 --> 03:17:44,399
payments if you looked at it you really

4200
03:17:44,399 --> 03:17:46,080
could if you had to replace it with a

4201
03:17:46,080 --> 03:17:48,240
project you could fund a project of

4202
03:17:48,240 --> 03:17:51,000
about 1.5 million at five percent over

4203
03:17:51,000 --> 03:17:52,500
20 years

4204
03:17:52,500 --> 03:17:54,979
um and and have a relatively same annual

4205
03:17:54,979 --> 03:17:58,819
debt repayment amount for for that year

4206
03:17:58,819 --> 03:18:02,160
the debt payments once they're retired

4207
03:18:02,160 --> 03:18:04,080
you would see that either you would

4208
03:18:04,080 --> 03:18:06,060
replace them with some other project as

4209
03:18:06,060 --> 03:18:07,380
you can see that there there's no

4210
03:18:07,380 --> 03:18:09,779
shortage of projects or we would

4211
03:18:09,779 --> 03:18:12,960
transfer that debt uh amount the amount

4212
03:18:12,960 --> 03:18:14,279
that's currently sitting there as debt

4213
03:18:14,279 --> 03:18:15,479
repayment it would be transferred to

4214
03:18:15,479 --> 03:18:17,580
reserve and again dedicated for a

4215
03:18:17,580 --> 03:18:20,880
specific project or as I say if there

4216
03:18:20,880 --> 03:18:22,140
was a capital project that would be

4217
03:18:22,140 --> 03:18:23,760
brought forward we would look at some

4218
03:18:23,760 --> 03:18:28,370
form of financing to replace that

4219
03:18:28,380 --> 03:18:30,840
so we've outlined for you on slide eight

4220
03:18:30,840 --> 03:18:33,240
uh the volume at or sorry the monthly

4221
03:18:33,240 --> 03:18:36,080
water service charges and the volumetric

4222
03:18:36,080 --> 03:18:39,540
consumption rates as per the study so if

4223
03:18:39,540 --> 03:18:42,120
you're a water customer with a 19

4224
03:18:42,120 --> 03:18:44,359
millimeter or three quarter inch line

4225
03:18:44,359 --> 03:18:47,760
your rate would be thirty dollars and

4226
03:18:47,760 --> 03:18:49,620
eighty cents your service charge your

4227
03:18:49,620 --> 03:18:51,420
basic service charge and it goes on from

4228
03:18:51,420 --> 03:18:52,800
there which is about a three percent

4229
03:18:52,800 --> 03:18:55,859
increase the volumetric rate is going up

4230
03:18:55,859 --> 03:18:59,640
by four cents and we've started to

4231
03:18:59,640 --> 03:19:01,500
provide some examples of what that would

4232
03:19:01,500 --> 03:19:03,000
look like if you're a customer on the

4233
03:19:03,000 --> 03:19:04,859
next slide and you're a customer that

4234
03:19:04,859 --> 03:19:07,200
consumes five me five cubic meters 10

4235
03:19:07,200 --> 03:19:09,479
all the way up to 50 what that would

4236
03:19:09,479 --> 03:19:12,000
look like in the example using the

4237
03:19:12,000 --> 03:19:13,979
service charge of of thirty dollars and

4238
03:19:13,979 --> 03:19:16,380
81 cents and the volumetric rate of a

4239
03:19:16,380 --> 03:19:18,479
dollar Thirty

4240
03:19:18,479 --> 03:19:20,819
so that customer using and we we

4241
03:19:20,819 --> 03:19:22,740
estimate probably the average would be

4242
03:19:22,740 --> 03:19:25,140
somewhere between 10 and 15 cubic meters

4243
03:19:25,140 --> 03:19:27,540
per month so those customers would see a

4244
03:19:27,540 --> 03:19:29,220
water a monthly change in their water

4245
03:19:29,220 --> 03:19:32,040
bill of 1.56 based on that consumption

4246
03:19:32,040 --> 03:19:37,309
and that size of water meter

4247
03:19:37,319 --> 03:19:38,760
so I'm going to turn it back over to

4248
03:19:38,760 --> 03:19:40,020
Scott to talk about Wastewater

4249
03:19:40,020 --> 03:19:41,279
operations

4250
03:19:41,279 --> 03:19:43,640
Scott just before

4251
03:19:43,640 --> 03:19:47,819
just for my clarification uh most of the

4252
03:19:47,819 --> 03:19:52,250
houses on a three-quarter inch line

4253
03:19:52,260 --> 03:19:54,720
yes yes that's what it is

4254
03:19:54,720 --> 03:19:56,939
so most residential units one single

4255
03:19:56,939 --> 03:19:58,439
family dwelling unit would be a

4256
03:19:58,439 --> 03:20:05,210
three-quarter inch line entering

4257
03:20:05,220 --> 03:20:06,779
okay

4258
03:20:06,779 --> 03:20:07,859
um so now we're on to Wastewater

4259
03:20:07,859 --> 03:20:09,600
operations

4260
03:20:09,600 --> 03:20:11,929
um

4261
03:20:11,939 --> 03:20:15,120
again in in this department there's uh

4262
03:20:15,120 --> 03:20:16,740
um I have three staff in this uh

4263
03:20:16,740 --> 03:20:18,479
Department senior operator and two

4264
03:20:18,479 --> 03:20:21,359
operators we look after the camelford

4265
03:20:21,359 --> 03:20:23,460
and and Hastings and and work with

4266
03:20:23,460 --> 03:20:25,859
wastewater treatment facilities which

4267
03:20:25,859 --> 03:20:28,979
includes also the collection systems we

4268
03:20:28,979 --> 03:20:32,160
have I think now

4269
03:20:32,160 --> 03:20:34,439
eight pumping stations that that we have

4270
03:20:34,439 --> 03:20:37,140
to our lift stations that we operate

4271
03:20:37,140 --> 03:20:38,580
um

4272
03:20:38,580 --> 03:20:40,560
some of the ongoing maintenance over as

4273
03:20:40,560 --> 03:20:42,479
it's noted here five year period we try

4274
03:20:42,479 --> 03:20:44,880
to go out and flush in camera every

4275
03:20:44,880 --> 03:20:47,340
um pipe within every system

4276
03:20:47,340 --> 03:20:49,740
um in that basis and we just identify

4277
03:20:49,740 --> 03:20:51,779
areas for repairs areas of infiltration

4278
03:20:51,779 --> 03:20:54,359
and then we we apply our operations

4279
03:20:54,359 --> 03:20:58,140
budget to to correct those deficiencies

4280
03:20:58,140 --> 03:20:58,859
um

4281
03:20:58,859 --> 03:21:00,779
again we

4282
03:21:00,779 --> 03:21:03,180
sewer locates are completed under

4283
03:21:03,180 --> 03:21:05,460
um the water department staff but I mean

4284
03:21:05,460 --> 03:21:08,279
it's also identified here

4285
03:21:08,279 --> 03:21:11,399
um and we basically all manholes and

4286
03:21:11,399 --> 03:21:12,779
anything else to do with the collection

4287
03:21:12,779 --> 03:21:14,819
system we we take care of those

4288
03:21:14,819 --> 03:21:20,090
operations as well

4289
03:21:20,100 --> 03:21:22,140
so we've outlined again here the summary

4290
03:21:22,140 --> 03:21:24,300
of gross revenues and expenditures for

4291
03:21:24,300 --> 03:21:25,859
the operating transfers and capital

4292
03:21:25,859 --> 03:21:28,560
sections of the budget operating

4293
03:21:28,560 --> 03:21:30,899
expenses again are increasing by

4294
03:21:30,899 --> 03:21:33,540
seventeen thousand one fifty two there's

4295
03:21:33,540 --> 03:21:35,460
very limited other source Revenue other

4296
03:21:35,460 --> 03:21:37,979
than the user rates that would be for

4297
03:21:37,979 --> 03:21:40,680
minimal charges for connection or

4298
03:21:40,680 --> 03:21:43,140
disconnection charges at for a new

4299
03:21:43,140 --> 03:21:44,120
service

4300
03:21:44,120 --> 03:21:46,680
so a user rates from an operations

4301
03:21:46,680 --> 03:21:49,260
perspective user rates we anticipate

4302
03:21:49,260 --> 03:21:51,300
generating one million eight thirty

4303
03:21:51,300 --> 03:21:52,920
eight six forty seven or an increase of

4304
03:21:52,920 --> 03:21:55,200
seventeen thousand and fifty two dollars

4305
03:21:55,200 --> 03:21:57,600
again we have a dedicated amount in the

4306
03:21:57,600 --> 03:22:00,600
budget line item for Capital which is uh

4307
03:22:00,600 --> 03:22:02,760
in accordance with the study increasing

4308
03:22:02,760 --> 03:22:06,720
that by 91 835 and again the provisional

4309
03:22:06,720 --> 03:22:10,020
Capital item uh for for 2023 has been

4310
03:22:10,020 --> 03:22:11,700
adjusted because there are a couple of

4311
03:22:11,700 --> 03:22:13,560
additional uh projects that we will

4312
03:22:13,560 --> 03:22:15,779
outline in the next slide

4313
03:22:15,779 --> 03:22:18,600
so and all of that capital is to be

4314
03:22:18,600 --> 03:22:21,720
funded through reserves or Reserve funds

4315
03:22:21,720 --> 03:22:23,220
as needed

4316
03:22:23,220 --> 03:22:26,520
and so overall the user rate Revenue

4317
03:22:26,520 --> 03:22:33,650
increase year over year is 108 887.

4318
03:22:33,660 --> 03:22:35,760
um the wages and benefits there is not

4319
03:22:35,760 --> 03:22:38,399
much change there again the highest

4320
03:22:38,399 --> 03:22:41,640
change overall in the budget is due to

4321
03:22:41,640 --> 03:22:43,439
Insurance out of the contract Services

4322
03:22:43,439 --> 03:22:46,260
the insurance line item is approximately

4323
03:22:46,260 --> 03:22:48,000
just over ten thousand dollars an

4324
03:22:48,000 --> 03:22:50,100
increase in insurance for Wastewater

4325
03:22:50,100 --> 03:22:55,910
services in 2023

4326
03:22:55,920 --> 03:22:57,540
so I'm just going to turn it back over

4327
03:22:57,540 --> 03:22:59,100
to Scott then to talk about some of the

4328
03:22:59,100 --> 03:23:02,220
capital initiatives for the 2023 year

4329
03:23:02,220 --> 03:23:06,359
uh Scottish Dennis has a question

4330
03:23:06,359 --> 03:23:09,960
clarification worships um the revenue

4331
03:23:09,960 --> 03:23:12,180
that comes in for water and what Revenue

4332
03:23:12,180 --> 03:23:14,580
comes in for waste water is it posted

4333
03:23:14,580 --> 03:23:15,479
here

4334
03:23:15,479 --> 03:23:19,309
the revenue that it creates

4335
03:23:19,319 --> 03:23:21,359
through your worship yes if you were to

4336
03:23:21,359 --> 03:23:25,319
look at the slide slide 11 the amount of

4337
03:23:25,319 --> 03:23:26,939
money that is coming in through user

4338
03:23:26,939 --> 03:23:28,380
rates is identified in the far right

4339
03:23:28,380 --> 03:23:31,319
hand column okay and when you look at

4340
03:23:31,319 --> 03:23:33,920
water as compared to Wastewater

4341
03:23:33,920 --> 03:23:37,080
Wastewater on my water bill is about

4342
03:23:37,080 --> 03:23:39,359
three times the amount of of the water

4343
03:23:39,359 --> 03:23:42,060
is curious why the Wastewater some seems

4344
03:23:42,060 --> 03:23:43,439
to be so much lower

4345
03:23:43,439 --> 03:23:46,380
than the water

4346
03:23:46,380 --> 03:23:50,399
what the expense no the income the cost

4347
03:23:50,399 --> 03:23:52,680
the that it goes to to the average

4348
03:23:52,680 --> 03:23:55,680
homeowner the Wastewater charge is about

4349
03:23:55,680 --> 03:23:58,020
three times more than the than the water

4350
03:23:58,020 --> 03:24:00,479
okay so I think what you're looking at

4351
03:24:00,479 --> 03:24:01,920
you're looking at the overall Revenue

4352
03:24:01,920 --> 03:24:03,540
coming in well there's far less

4353
03:24:03,540 --> 03:24:06,120
customers on the Wastewater side we have

4354
03:24:06,120 --> 03:24:08,580
several streets that that we we don't

4355
03:24:08,580 --> 03:24:10,920
that they're on septic system

4356
03:24:10,920 --> 03:24:13,260
so that I think I think is where some of

4357
03:24:13,260 --> 03:24:15,239
that discrepancy would be the revenue

4358
03:24:15,239 --> 03:24:16,920
yeah you're saying the overall revenues

4359
03:24:16,920 --> 03:24:18,600
are less than the overall revenues for

4360
03:24:18,600 --> 03:24:20,279
water yeah and I think that's what

4361
03:24:20,279 --> 03:24:22,439
you'll you'll find okay that helps

4362
03:24:22,439 --> 03:24:26,640
clarifying and then um again when uh

4363
03:24:26,640 --> 03:24:30,020
fella comes in for water and a tanker

4364
03:24:30,020 --> 03:24:33,060
that Revenue goes as a as an income as

4365
03:24:33,060 --> 03:24:36,660
well to municipality and the same thing

4366
03:24:36,660 --> 03:24:40,439
if uh a loot truck comes in and and do

4367
03:24:40,439 --> 03:24:42,720
they dump in our lagoons or in our

4368
03:24:42,720 --> 03:24:45,359
Wastewater system any new trucks to come

4369
03:24:45,359 --> 03:24:46,020
in

4370
03:24:46,020 --> 03:24:48,120
so on the water side of things if you're

4371
03:24:48,120 --> 03:24:50,640
referring to bulk water yes when they

4372
03:24:50,640 --> 03:24:52,439
come in we have two bulk water stations

4373
03:24:52,439 --> 03:24:53,760
one at the Hastings water treatment

4374
03:24:53,760 --> 03:24:55,620
plant one here in Campbellford and yes

4375
03:24:55,620 --> 03:24:58,380
when they those customers command that

4376
03:24:58,380 --> 03:25:00,239
the revenue is generated and that goes

4377
03:25:00,239 --> 03:25:02,279
directly to water as well but you have

4378
03:25:02,279 --> 03:25:03,720
to remember some of the other things we

4379
03:25:03,720 --> 03:25:07,260
Supply the work with uh penal Institute

4380
03:25:07,260 --> 03:25:08,760
with water so there's you know there's a

4381
03:25:08,760 --> 03:25:10,380
significant Revenue there we Supply

4382
03:25:10,380 --> 03:25:13,279
trentview Estates in Hastings the

4383
03:25:13,279 --> 03:25:15,420
subdivision there up from the the

4384
03:25:15,420 --> 03:25:17,700
auction Hall so again all of those are

4385
03:25:17,700 --> 03:25:19,260
Revenue sourced on the water side that

4386
03:25:19,260 --> 03:25:21,000
but we don't see any Revenue sources on

4387
03:25:21,000 --> 03:25:24,060
the sanitary side cool can that

4388
03:25:24,060 --> 03:25:25,920
clarifies some of it and then to answer

4389
03:25:25,920 --> 03:25:28,260
yeah the the other

4390
03:25:28,260 --> 03:25:29,460
when you're speaking to Wastewater

4391
03:25:29,460 --> 03:25:31,439
that's that's brought in you know from

4392
03:25:31,439 --> 03:25:33,000
other sources whether it's leachate

4393
03:25:33,000 --> 03:25:34,859
whether it's blue Lou waste whether it's

4394
03:25:34,859 --> 03:25:36,540
it's any other waste out there suffrage

4395
03:25:36,540 --> 03:25:38,279
waste yeah that's all gets generated is

4396
03:25:38,279 --> 03:25:40,859
revenue on the Wastewater side

4397
03:25:40,859 --> 03:25:47,279
thank you and just um just a point of

4398
03:25:47,279 --> 03:25:49,620
clarification if you look at slide four

4399
03:25:49,620 --> 03:25:51,960
and slide 11 that the total user rates

4400
03:25:51,960 --> 03:25:54,840
for water being 2 million eight thousand

4401
03:25:54,840 --> 03:25:56,580
five twenty five

4402
03:25:56,580 --> 03:25:58,560
and the amount of user rate revenue

4403
03:25:58,560 --> 03:26:01,020
generated from the Wastewater users is

4404
03:26:01,020 --> 03:26:06,110
2.5 million so it is it is a bit higher

4405
03:26:06,120 --> 03:26:10,040
so going to uh the capital

4406
03:26:10,040 --> 03:26:11,880
slide

4407
03:26:11,880 --> 03:26:13,560
I think that's where we left off was you

4408
03:26:13,560 --> 03:26:15,180
were going to discuss some of the

4409
03:26:15,180 --> 03:26:17,640
initiatives

4410
03:26:17,640 --> 03:26:18,720
thanks brother

4411
03:26:18,720 --> 03:26:20,939
um so under Park Street this is again in

4412
03:26:20,939 --> 03:26:22,739
Hastings and this is to do with the

4413
03:26:22,739 --> 03:26:24,840
water main replacement project there but

4414
03:26:24,840 --> 03:26:27,239
they're we're not proposing to replace

4415
03:26:27,239 --> 03:26:30,239
the sanitary main there it certainly is

4416
03:26:30,239 --> 03:26:33,180
is lots of life left in it we how we are

4417
03:26:33,180 --> 03:26:35,220
however including some costs here for

4418
03:26:35,220 --> 03:26:37,380
some of the service laterals laterals

4419
03:26:37,380 --> 03:26:39,479
entering the dwelling which

4420
03:26:39,479 --> 03:26:41,700
um we will may have to address as as

4421
03:26:41,700 --> 03:26:43,319
part of doing some of the servicing work

4422
03:26:43,319 --> 03:26:45,840
there uh similarly that goes for

4423
03:26:45,840 --> 03:26:47,340
Wellington Street as well again as I

4424
03:26:47,340 --> 03:26:48,960
said it's already serviced with sanitary

4425
03:26:48,960 --> 03:26:50,640
but there will be some lateral upgrades

4426
03:26:50,640 --> 03:26:53,460
there that may be required

4427
03:26:53,460 --> 03:26:56,279
um Hastings treatment plant we're

4428
03:26:56,279 --> 03:26:58,920
looking at upgrading the MCC panel there

4429
03:26:58,920 --> 03:27:00,420
that's just the the electrical

4430
03:27:00,420 --> 03:27:02,880
distribution panel for

4431
03:27:02,880 --> 03:27:05,340
um the plant itself

4432
03:27:05,340 --> 03:27:08,340
um that particular unit is is in excess

4433
03:27:08,340 --> 03:27:10,680
of uh probably 50 years old and it's

4434
03:27:10,680 --> 03:27:13,260
just a need a replacement

4435
03:27:13,260 --> 03:27:15,420
um going along with uh Construction in

4436
03:27:15,420 --> 03:27:17,760
chemelfort again we we spoke to Randy

4437
03:27:17,760 --> 03:27:19,620
Street North which is the next Project's

4438
03:27:19,620 --> 03:27:24,239
slated for 2023 and that 406 000 would

4439
03:27:24,239 --> 03:27:25,920
just represent the

4440
03:27:25,920 --> 03:27:29,399
sanitary portion of that for collection

4441
03:27:29,399 --> 03:27:33,060
pipe replacement manholes laterals Again

4442
03:27:33,060 --> 03:27:35,640
Seymour Quarry Road that is

4443
03:27:35,640 --> 03:27:37,920
um the the sanitary portion dedicated to

4444
03:27:37,920 --> 03:27:39,779
that project and then we were just

4445
03:27:39,779 --> 03:27:41,880
proposing some money to be spent and and

4446
03:27:41,880 --> 03:27:43,380
work where there's just some ongoing

4447
03:27:43,380 --> 03:27:45,239
upgrades for the pumping stations there

4448
03:27:45,239 --> 03:28:47,450
as well

4449
03:28:47,460 --> 03:28:51,710
sorry

4450
03:28:51,720 --> 03:28:53,000
okay

4451
03:28:53,000 --> 03:28:56,520
so debt debt payments again sorry for

4452
03:28:56,520 --> 03:28:57,840
the benefit of everybody who couldn't

4453
03:28:57,840 --> 03:28:59,640
possibly hear me

4454
03:28:59,640 --> 03:29:02,279
um we would redirect those debt payments

4455
03:29:02,279 --> 03:29:05,100
once they're retired to reserves or we

4456
03:29:05,100 --> 03:29:06,899
would uh probably have other Capital

4457
03:29:06,899 --> 03:29:09,840
construction projects that we would then

4458
03:29:09,840 --> 03:29:12,300
finance and these would become the

4459
03:29:12,300 --> 03:29:14,160
replacement debt payments

4460
03:29:14,160 --> 03:29:16,439
and the total debt payments represent 30

4461
03:29:16,439 --> 03:29:18,540
percent of the total operating budget

4462
03:29:18,540 --> 03:29:20,160
for Wastewater

4463
03:29:20,160 --> 03:29:22,500
the next slide we've outlined as per the

4464
03:29:22,500 --> 03:29:26,939
rate study the monthly charge for the

4465
03:29:26,939 --> 03:29:28,439
service charge as well as the volume

4466
03:29:28,439 --> 03:29:30,600
volumetric rate

4467
03:29:30,600 --> 03:29:33,540
so the uh the bulk of the customers

4468
03:29:33,540 --> 03:29:36,300
which is showing us almost 98 of your

4469
03:29:36,300 --> 03:29:38,040
customer base does have a three-quarter

4470
03:29:38,040 --> 03:29:40,260
inch line or 19 millimeter line their

4471
03:29:40,260 --> 03:29:44,399
rate is going up from 50.79 to 52.22 an

4472
03:29:44,399 --> 03:29:46,800
increase of a dollar 43 monthly the

4473
03:29:46,800 --> 03:29:49,260
volumetric rate is going up from two

4474
03:29:49,260 --> 03:29:51,660
dollars and fifteen cents to 221 or 6

4475
03:29:51,660 --> 03:29:53,160
cents per month

4476
03:29:53,160 --> 03:29:55,560
and then we have demonstrated on the

4477
03:29:55,560 --> 03:29:58,859
next Slide the example of a Wastewater

4478
03:29:58,859 --> 03:30:01,620
customer again and I'll use you can use

4479
03:30:01,620 --> 03:30:03,000
any one of these but it's just to

4480
03:30:03,000 --> 03:30:04,620
demonstrate

4481
03:30:04,620 --> 03:30:07,380
um what that consumption would be from a

4482
03:30:07,380 --> 03:30:09,960
service charge and volumetric rate if I

4483
03:30:09,960 --> 03:30:12,960
consume 15 cubic meters of Wastewater it

4484
03:30:12,960 --> 03:30:13,880
would be

4485
03:30:13,880 --> 03:30:16,620
85.37 or an increase of two dollars and

4486
03:30:16,620 --> 03:30:18,840
33 cents monthly as a Wastewater

4487
03:30:18,840 --> 03:30:22,020
customer Valerie I think on that slide

4488
03:30:22,020 --> 03:30:24,840
yes now you've got 20 22 choices thank

4489
03:30:24,840 --> 03:30:27,660
you I will call it

4490
03:30:27,660 --> 03:30:29,880
um so then we've combined the water and

4491
03:30:29,880 --> 03:30:31,620
wastewater charges and we've given some

4492
03:30:31,620 --> 03:30:34,080
examples again for a monthly customer

4493
03:30:34,080 --> 03:30:36,000
with a three-quarter inch or 19

4494
03:30:36,000 --> 03:30:38,160
millimeter service

4495
03:30:38,160 --> 03:30:41,399
I say line but I mean service so for a

4496
03:30:41,399 --> 03:30:43,260
customer that's consuming 10 cubic

4497
03:30:43,260 --> 03:30:46,080
meters of water and wastewater it shows

4498
03:30:46,080 --> 03:30:48,060
you uh what their monthly bill would be

4499
03:30:48,060 --> 03:30:49,800
and then the annual charge year over

4500
03:30:49,800 --> 03:30:50,640
year

4501
03:30:50,640 --> 03:30:52,560
we've done that as an example with the

4502
03:30:52,560 --> 03:30:54,180
10 cubic meters and we've done that in

4503
03:30:54,180 --> 03:30:55,979
the next slide for a customer who would

4504
03:30:55,979 --> 03:30:58,319
be consuming approximately 15 cubic

4505
03:30:58,319 --> 03:31:01,279
meters so they would be facing a

4506
03:31:01,279 --> 03:31:06,660
46.68 charge year-over-year increase

4507
03:31:06,660 --> 03:31:10,080
we do have the ability to charge other

4508
03:31:10,080 --> 03:31:12,540
Water and Wastewater rates fees and

4509
03:31:12,540 --> 03:31:16,140
charges we have account set up charges

4510
03:31:16,140 --> 03:31:18,739
at ten dollars per setup

4511
03:31:18,739 --> 03:31:21,300
we don't charge if somebody if a lawyer

4512
03:31:21,300 --> 03:31:24,180
requests information about accounts we

4513
03:31:24,180 --> 03:31:26,340
provide that at no charge

4514
03:31:26,340 --> 03:31:28,500
we do have a late payment charge five

4515
03:31:28,500 --> 03:31:30,420
percent that's charged on overdue

4516
03:31:30,420 --> 03:31:33,060
accounts it's not a cumulative amount it

4517
03:31:33,060 --> 03:31:37,620
is a one-time per per billing cycle

4518
03:31:37,620 --> 03:31:40,140
and we have changes to for returned

4519
03:31:40,140 --> 03:31:43,080
items and adding water and sewer rears

4520
03:31:43,080 --> 03:31:46,859
to the tax account so we actively used

4521
03:31:46,859 --> 03:31:49,200
to disconnect and then reconnect water

4522
03:31:49,200 --> 03:31:51,540
we've moved away from that model and we

4523
03:31:51,540 --> 03:31:52,279
now

4524
03:31:52,279 --> 03:31:55,020
provide letters to customers that have

4525
03:31:55,020 --> 03:31:56,939
overdue accounts and tell them that they

4526
03:31:56,939 --> 03:31:58,859
have X amount of time to pay and failing

4527
03:31:58,859 --> 03:32:02,399
that the water and sewer rears balances

4528
03:32:02,399 --> 03:32:04,680
we collected in the same manner as taxes

4529
03:32:04,680 --> 03:32:06,300
so that we do charge a fee for that

4530
03:32:06,300 --> 03:32:09,110
transfer

4531
03:32:09,120 --> 03:32:10,800
um there's no change to the other fees

4532
03:32:10,800 --> 03:32:12,319
there

4533
03:32:12,319 --> 03:32:16,020
the bulk water charge we we have that

4534
03:32:16,020 --> 03:32:18,120
increasing so what that is is the

4535
03:32:18,120 --> 03:32:21,680
volumetric rate uh and two

4536
03:32:21,680 --> 03:32:26,279
2.75 times the the volumetric rate is

4537
03:32:26,279 --> 03:32:27,960
what we typically charge for bulk water

4538
03:32:27,960 --> 03:32:32,760
so that would be going up by 11 cents uh

4539
03:32:32,760 --> 03:32:35,520
50 cents per imperial gallon

4540
03:32:35,520 --> 03:32:37,859
no change to the bulk water key deposit

4541
03:32:37,859 --> 03:32:41,160
and reconnection and disconnection

4542
03:32:41,160 --> 03:32:42,899
that's based on the hourly rate of the

4543
03:32:42,899 --> 03:32:44,700
employee the change that we're seeing

4544
03:32:44,700 --> 03:32:46,380
there year over year is based on the

4545
03:32:46,380 --> 03:32:48,060
hourly rate but the benefit component

4546
03:32:48,060 --> 03:32:49,920
was previously 30 percent we've

4547
03:32:49,920 --> 03:32:51,899
increased that to be more representative

4548
03:32:51,899 --> 03:32:54,120
of the cost to the municipality being

4549
03:32:54,120 --> 03:32:56,479
the benefit component at 35 percent

4550
03:32:56,479 --> 03:32:58,560
so we're seeing an increase there if

4551
03:32:58,560 --> 03:33:00,180
it's during regular business hours it's

4552
03:33:00,180 --> 03:33:03,960
three dollars increase or 48 dollars per

4553
03:33:03,960 --> 03:33:05,640
um per event

4554
03:33:05,640 --> 03:33:09,420
if a customer needs requires a excuse me

4555
03:33:09,420 --> 03:33:11,040
a disconnection or reconnection after

4556
03:33:11,040 --> 03:33:14,460
business hours it's uh 288 dollars we

4557
03:33:14,460 --> 03:33:16,319
try to avoid those after hours I believe

4558
03:33:16,319 --> 03:33:17,880
it's my understanding that we try to

4559
03:33:17,880 --> 03:33:19,680
schedule them during regular business

4560
03:33:19,680 --> 03:33:22,200
hours to avoid those uh high costs but

4561
03:33:22,200 --> 03:33:24,500
sometimes it can't be avoided

4562
03:33:24,500 --> 03:33:27,960
fire protection line charge there are

4563
03:33:27,960 --> 03:33:30,840
certain accounts that have that and it's

4564
03:33:30,840 --> 03:33:35,040
based on the water meter size within the

4565
03:33:35,040 --> 03:33:38,399
the property hydrant rentals we do have

4566
03:33:38,399 --> 03:33:40,979
an annual charge that we allocate the

4567
03:33:40,979 --> 03:33:43,859
expense is charged

4568
03:33:43,859 --> 03:33:45,600
to through the fire department for the

4569
03:33:45,600 --> 03:33:47,640
hydrant rental and the revenue comes in

4570
03:33:47,640 --> 03:33:50,399
to the water department so that's 250

4571
03:33:50,399 --> 03:33:51,779
that hasn't changed for a number of

4572
03:33:51,779 --> 03:33:52,979
years

4573
03:33:52,979 --> 03:33:55,620
and the non-metered seasonal per month

4574
03:33:55,620 --> 03:33:58,859
is going up by one dollar

4575
03:33:58,859 --> 03:34:01,020
and that's really for parks and

4576
03:34:01,020 --> 03:34:03,720
cemeteries where there is a a calculated

4577
03:34:03,720 --> 03:34:06,120
fee for the use of water to Water

4578
03:34:06,120 --> 03:34:08,399
Gardens and grass in that area

4579
03:34:08,399 --> 03:34:11,100
there's no change to any other fees and

4580
03:34:11,100 --> 03:34:12,840
charges

4581
03:34:12,840 --> 03:34:15,779
for the on the Wastewater side the

4582
03:34:15,779 --> 03:34:18,540
leachate program which is um

4583
03:34:18,540 --> 03:34:21,239
the county of Northumberland brings

4584
03:34:21,239 --> 03:34:23,939
leachate into our system we try to marry

4585
03:34:23,939 --> 03:34:26,220
up our rates with the town of Coburg

4586
03:34:26,220 --> 03:34:27,779
because we are the only two member

4587
03:34:27,779 --> 03:34:29,220
municipalities within the County that

4588
03:34:29,220 --> 03:34:32,340
accept leachate and so we've estimated a

4589
03:34:32,340 --> 03:34:34,319
five percent increase they typically

4590
03:34:34,319 --> 03:34:37,160
Coburg uses CPI as The Benchmark for

4591
03:34:37,160 --> 03:34:39,439
setting those rates year over year

4592
03:34:39,439 --> 03:34:41,760
because we didn't have that at the time

4593
03:34:41,760 --> 03:34:43,319
that we prepared this document we've

4594
03:34:43,319 --> 03:34:44,939
increased it by five percent and we'll

4595
03:34:44,939 --> 03:34:47,479
revisit that based on what Coburg is

4596
03:34:47,479 --> 03:34:50,340
excuse me proposing so that we're in

4597
03:34:50,340 --> 03:34:52,020
line and that the county can anticipate

4598
03:34:52,020 --> 03:34:54,000
the same charge no matter where they go

4599
03:34:54,000 --> 03:34:56,750
in the county

4600
03:34:56,760 --> 03:34:59,520
um and there are no other changes to um

4601
03:34:59,520 --> 03:35:03,180
to the fees there for Wastewater

4602
03:35:03,180 --> 03:35:05,520
so again it's the same process in terms

4603
03:35:05,520 --> 03:35:07,920
of uh bringing forward the budget today

4604
03:35:07,920 --> 03:35:10,319
we're bringing you the first draft we

4605
03:35:10,319 --> 03:35:12,060
hope to come back to you on December the

4606
03:35:12,060 --> 03:35:14,460
13th if there are comments or changes to

4607
03:35:14,460 --> 03:35:16,800
the budget document with Target approval

4608
03:35:16,800 --> 03:35:19,800
set to be January the 10th and we also

4609
03:35:19,800 --> 03:35:21,720
have a comment submission form that we

4610
03:35:21,720 --> 03:35:24,840
will put up on our our website and we'll

4611
03:35:24,840 --> 03:35:27,300
bring forward those comments

4612
03:35:27,300 --> 03:35:30,120
thanks very much Valerie calls for

4613
03:35:30,120 --> 03:35:35,630
savory

4614
03:35:35,640 --> 03:35:37,319
oh sorry

4615
03:35:37,319 --> 03:35:38,760
is it working

4616
03:35:38,760 --> 03:35:39,899
okay

4617
03:35:39,899 --> 03:35:43,020
um I guess when you look at the costs of

4618
03:35:43,020 --> 03:35:44,939
all the services and and if you say

4619
03:35:44,939 --> 03:35:47,100
you've been saying that if there's any

4620
03:35:47,100 --> 03:35:50,520
surpluses at all they go into uh they

4621
03:35:50,520 --> 03:35:53,040
get transferred and held for future

4622
03:35:53,040 --> 03:35:55,380
projects whatever does that stay the

4623
03:35:55,380 --> 03:35:58,920
water and sewer system is it is it an

4624
03:35:58,920 --> 03:36:00,660
entity on its own or does it go into

4625
03:36:00,660 --> 03:36:03,359
General with Trent Hills or does it stay

4626
03:36:03,359 --> 03:36:05,760
within its own little Corporation in

4627
03:36:05,760 --> 03:36:07,800
itself

4628
03:36:07,800 --> 03:36:10,760
through you worship so um

4629
03:36:10,760 --> 03:36:13,380
each of the systems being Water and

4630
03:36:13,380 --> 03:36:16,739
Wastewater any surplus or deficit that

4631
03:36:16,739 --> 03:36:19,080
runs within those I'm going to refer to

4632
03:36:19,080 --> 03:36:21,239
them as systems cumulative systems being

4633
03:36:21,239 --> 03:36:24,260
the whole of the three communities

4634
03:36:24,260 --> 03:36:27,840
they are very distinct and so if there

4635
03:36:27,840 --> 03:36:30,060
was a surplus in water for example that

4636
03:36:30,060 --> 03:36:31,439
Surplus would be transferred to a water

4637
03:36:31,439 --> 03:36:34,080
reserve and the same for Wastewater okay

4638
03:36:34,080 --> 03:36:36,899
yeah and is there

4639
03:36:36,899 --> 03:36:39,660
a percentage overall that that you can

4640
03:36:39,660 --> 03:36:42,120
go into debt that you have to be careful

4641
03:36:42,120 --> 03:36:44,399
that you have to sort of balance that to

4642
03:36:44,399 --> 03:36:47,540
make sure you don't exceed or or

4643
03:36:47,540 --> 03:36:50,399
to make sure that the assessment itself

4644
03:36:50,399 --> 03:36:53,460
stays afloat or stays operating uh is

4645
03:36:53,460 --> 03:36:56,520
there a limit percentage

4646
03:36:56,520 --> 03:36:59,040
through your worship so the overall debt

4647
03:36:59,040 --> 03:37:01,500
of the municipality this question has

4648
03:37:01,500 --> 03:37:03,359
been asked before at a different like a

4649
03:37:03,359 --> 03:37:05,120
number of years ago

4650
03:37:05,120 --> 03:37:07,200
the debt of the municipality

4651
03:37:07,200 --> 03:37:09,120
incorporates the general Municipal debt

4652
03:37:09,120 --> 03:37:10,800
as well as water and wastewater even

4653
03:37:10,800 --> 03:37:13,200
though the systems are very distinct and

4654
03:37:13,200 --> 03:37:16,140
separate so all of the debt payments

4655
03:37:16,140 --> 03:37:18,479
regardless are part of the overall

4656
03:37:18,479 --> 03:37:20,220
annual debt repayment limit that is

4657
03:37:20,220 --> 03:37:22,439
calculated by The Province and it's it's

4658
03:37:22,439 --> 03:37:24,420
then adjusted by us if we have some

4659
03:37:24,420 --> 03:37:26,580
internal debt as well

4660
03:37:26,580 --> 03:37:27,359
um

4661
03:37:27,359 --> 03:37:29,460
but yeah that's it's all one

4662
03:37:29,460 --> 03:37:32,580
unfortunately it isn't just uh um for

4663
03:37:32,580 --> 03:37:34,080
water and wastewater I know that's been

4664
03:37:34,080 --> 03:37:35,580
raised before but unfortunately that's

4665
03:37:35,580 --> 03:37:37,020
not going to change as far as you can

4666
03:37:37,020 --> 03:37:39,060
see in the for the near future no no

4667
03:37:39,060 --> 03:37:41,279
debt is debt as far as the province is

4668
03:37:41,279 --> 03:37:43,260
concerned it's it's all one regardless

4669
03:37:43,260 --> 03:37:45,660
of the purpose for in which you incur

4670
03:37:45,660 --> 03:37:49,210
the debt okay thank you

4671
03:37:49,220 --> 03:37:52,800
Deputy Medcalf

4672
03:37:52,800 --> 03:37:55,979
thank you worship uh question is on

4673
03:37:55,979 --> 03:37:58,500
leachate and the opportunity for Waste

4674
03:37:58,500 --> 03:38:00,779
Water revenues is there a capacity at

4675
03:38:00,779 --> 03:38:03,239
our facilities that we're at to be able

4676
03:38:03,239 --> 03:38:07,080
to accept that uh leachate or other

4677
03:38:07,080 --> 03:38:10,620
opportunities for Wastewater Revenue

4678
03:38:10,620 --> 03:38:12,600
I wouldn't say there's any set capacity

4679
03:38:12,600 --> 03:38:14,279
at the moment it's it's all based on

4680
03:38:14,279 --> 03:38:16,200
what the actual

4681
03:38:16,200 --> 03:38:18,779
facility itself can handle in terms of

4682
03:38:18,779 --> 03:38:20,700
the strength of that waste coming in so

4683
03:38:20,700 --> 03:38:22,920
I mean that being said let's just say

4684
03:38:22,920 --> 03:38:24,479
for argument you know a thousand gallons

4685
03:38:24,479 --> 03:38:26,939
of one type of waste or one day from the

4686
03:38:26,939 --> 03:38:28,380
from the landfill could be a lot

4687
03:38:28,380 --> 03:38:30,540
different than the Thousand gallons the

4688
03:38:30,540 --> 03:38:32,220
next day so it's it's sort of dictated

4689
03:38:32,220 --> 03:38:34,260
on that it's on a basis so at times we

4690
03:38:34,260 --> 03:38:35,580
have had to say to the county we can't

4691
03:38:35,580 --> 03:38:38,100
accept any more today or you know for

4692
03:38:38,100 --> 03:38:39,540
the next two days or something along

4693
03:38:39,540 --> 03:38:41,279
those lines so

4694
03:38:41,279 --> 03:38:43,260
um not saying that we can't it all it

4695
03:38:43,260 --> 03:38:45,000
all is based on that the strength of

4696
03:38:45,000 --> 03:38:47,040
that waste coming in so as it gets

4697
03:38:47,040 --> 03:38:49,040
processed that determines the volume

4698
03:38:49,040 --> 03:38:51,180
that you can take at any particular

4699
03:38:51,180 --> 03:38:53,279
period of time basically yes and then

4700
03:38:53,279 --> 03:38:55,020
we've we've done some upgrades there

4701
03:38:55,020 --> 03:38:57,120
we've certainly done some upgrades to

4702
03:38:57,120 --> 03:39:00,140
our aeration system down there

4703
03:39:00,140 --> 03:39:02,700
whereby it just allows us to take that

4704
03:39:02,700 --> 03:39:04,380
much more though the aeration system

4705
03:39:04,380 --> 03:39:06,420
needed to be upgraded regardless of

4706
03:39:06,420 --> 03:39:08,100
whether we were taking leachate or any

4707
03:39:08,100 --> 03:39:10,439
other external waste as I think I

4708
03:39:10,439 --> 03:39:12,359
indicated the last meeting we're looking

4709
03:39:12,359 --> 03:39:14,220
at um

4710
03:39:14,220 --> 03:39:15,840
um importing some waste now for Empire

4711
03:39:15,840 --> 03:39:18,000
cheese some of their waste products a

4712
03:39:18,000 --> 03:39:20,279
very high high strength product coming

4713
03:39:20,279 --> 03:39:21,720
in it's certainly not going to bring the

4714
03:39:21,720 --> 03:39:23,580
volumes in which which the county is but

4715
03:39:23,580 --> 03:39:26,100
we're definitely looking at those things

4716
03:39:26,100 --> 03:39:27,479
um we don't want to get into the point

4717
03:39:27,479 --> 03:39:29,340
we do we have taken we do take some

4718
03:39:29,340 --> 03:39:31,020
local septage

4719
03:39:31,020 --> 03:39:33,660
um way so septic tank waste again not

4720
03:39:33,660 --> 03:39:35,760
really wanting to get

4721
03:39:35,760 --> 03:39:38,399
for various reasons related to actual

4722
03:39:38,399 --> 03:39:40,439
treatment of that type of product we

4723
03:39:40,439 --> 03:39:42,300
don't want to get into

4724
03:39:42,300 --> 03:39:44,279
um you know taking something you know

4725
03:39:44,279 --> 03:39:46,680
external from outside of say say Trent

4726
03:39:46,680 --> 03:39:48,120
Hills at this point time we're literally

4727
03:39:48,120 --> 03:39:50,520
just trying to help out our own

4728
03:39:50,520 --> 03:39:56,090
thank you

4729
03:39:56,100 --> 03:39:58,279

4794
03:42:43,560 --> 03:42:45,300
thank you worship

4795
03:42:45,300 --> 03:42:48,779
um the lone paid up until now was it

4796
03:42:48,779 --> 03:42:51,840
being paid by uh don't buy donation into

4797
03:42:51,840 --> 03:42:55,080
that Reserve fund and then the reserve

4798
03:42:55,080 --> 03:42:58,319
would pay out the loan

4799
03:42:58,319 --> 03:43:00,600
through you your worship so yes to date

4800
03:43:00,600 --> 03:43:02,399
any donations that have been received

4801
03:43:02,399 --> 03:43:04,920
throughout the course of time have been

4802
03:43:04,920 --> 03:43:07,560
held in that particular reserve and the

4803
03:43:07,560 --> 03:43:09,660
notes that I have found indicate that

4804
03:43:09,660 --> 03:43:13,140
upon receiving the full amount that was

4805
03:43:13,140 --> 03:43:14,760
borrowed at that time it would be

4806
03:43:14,760 --> 03:43:16,140
transferred to the cash and movement

4807
03:43:16,140 --> 03:43:19,319
cash in lieu of Parkland Reserve fund so

4808
03:43:19,319 --> 03:43:21,000
they've been held there the funds have

4809
03:43:21,000 --> 03:43:22,739
been held in that reserve for a number

4810
03:43:22,739 --> 03:43:25,490
of years

4811
03:43:25,500 --> 03:43:27,180
so then the cash in lieu of Parkland

4812
03:43:27,180 --> 03:43:31,200
what's what's what would be uh

4813
03:43:31,200 --> 03:43:34,260
scenario where that uh those funds would

4814
03:43:34,260 --> 03:43:36,540
be used

4815
03:43:36,540 --> 03:43:38,760
three-year worship um under the planning

4816
03:43:38,760 --> 03:43:40,859
act the cash in the Parkland cannot be

4817
03:43:40,859 --> 03:43:42,720
used for any purpose other than for Park

4818
03:43:42,720 --> 03:43:44,640
purposes so that's probably why they

4819
03:43:44,640 --> 03:43:46,680
drew down from that and it's it's a

4820
03:43:46,680 --> 03:43:48,840
typically a reserve fund because it's an

4821
03:43:48,840 --> 03:43:51,120
obligatory Reserve fund it's it's very

4822
03:43:51,120 --> 03:43:53,160
specific so I'm not sure what

4823
03:43:53,160 --> 03:43:55,319
documentation they brought forward at

4824
03:43:55,319 --> 03:43:57,120
the time but typically if you borrowed

4825
03:43:57,120 --> 03:43:58,500
from something like that there might be

4826
03:43:58,500 --> 03:44:00,779
even a promissory note or something

4827
03:44:00,779 --> 03:44:02,880
indicating that the loan had been taken

4828
03:44:02,880 --> 03:44:05,460
out I'm not sure if that is so we're

4829
03:44:05,460 --> 03:44:08,279
just formalizing the the retirement of

4830
03:44:08,279 --> 03:44:09,840
that debt and moving the funds over to

4831
03:44:09,840 --> 03:44:11,819
the reserve fund

4832
03:44:11,819 --> 03:44:18,050

thank you worship what type of time

4890
03:46:58,500 --> 03:47:01,620
frame are we looking at uh just to be

4891
03:47:01,620 --> 03:47:03,239
securing the

4892
03:47:03,239 --> 03:47:05,640
the final uh bit of financing for this

4893
03:47:05,640 --> 03:47:08,110
project

4894
03:47:08,120 --> 03:47:10,200
Mr Mayor

4895
03:47:10,200 --> 03:47:12,120
um we're looking at about a two-year

4896
03:47:12,120 --> 03:47:16,020
window so from uh today if uh Council

4897
03:47:16,020 --> 03:47:18,420
moves forward with authorizing the

4898
03:47:18,420 --> 03:47:21,120
construction to commence we'd have about

4899
03:47:21,120 --> 03:47:24,300
two years before the facility is

4900
03:47:24,300 --> 03:47:28,380
complete and uh the project is finalized

4901
03:47:28,380 --> 03:47:30,899
so at that point we would enter into any

4902
03:47:30,899 --> 03:47:32,880
financing agreements so

4903
03:47:32,880 --> 03:47:35,819
so we have that time to sort of close

4904
03:47:35,819 --> 03:47:37,920
that Gap in financing

4905
03:47:37,920 --> 03:47:40,380
um which would at this point mostly

4906
03:47:40,380 --> 03:47:41,479
involve

4907
03:47:41,479 --> 03:47:43,979
seeking out additional funds from upper

4908
03:47:43,979 --> 03:47:46,319
levels of government but it is possible

4909
03:47:46,319 --> 03:47:48,420
it could come from a combination of

4910
03:47:48,420 --> 03:47:50,580
sources that most likely will we still

4911
03:47:50,580 --> 03:47:51,840
have to explore some additional

4912
03:47:51,840 --> 03:47:53,180
fundraising

4913
03:47:53,180 --> 03:47:55,500
perhaps more internal financing we'll

4914
03:47:55,500 --> 03:47:58,640
have to look at all those options

4915
03:47:58,640 --> 03:48:02,460
and over that two-year time period

4916
03:48:02,460 --> 03:48:04,319
what would be the change in our debt

4917
03:48:04,319 --> 03:48:07,680
repayment limit that it

4918
03:48:07,680 --> 03:48:10,020
is there flexibility

4919
03:48:10,020 --> 03:48:14,160
in that debt repayment as other

4920
03:48:14,160 --> 03:48:17,160
as other debts are

4921
03:48:17,160 --> 03:48:20,090
cleaned up

4922
03:48:20,100 --> 03:48:20,819
um

4923
03:48:20,819 --> 03:48:24,060
through Mr Mayor potentially I think

4924
03:48:24,060 --> 03:48:25,200
that's

4925
03:48:25,200 --> 03:48:26,279
um

4926
03:48:26,279 --> 03:48:28,439
at this at this stage that isn't the

4927
03:48:28,439 --> 03:48:30,060
strategy though I mean we don't really

4928
03:48:30,060 --> 03:48:31,880
don't want to exceed

4929
03:48:31,880 --> 03:48:34,260
that annual amount that's currently

4930
03:48:34,260 --> 03:48:36,359
allocated to the recreation

4931
03:48:36,359 --> 03:48:39,120
Redevelopment plan so as been mentioned

4932
03:48:39,120 --> 03:48:41,939
earlier with uh budget discussion so

4933
03:48:41,939 --> 03:48:44,279
there's an annual allotment of 550 000

4934
03:48:44,279 --> 03:48:47,160
per year so that is the amount that

4935
03:48:47,160 --> 03:48:49,439
would be available for debt servicing

4936
03:48:49,439 --> 03:48:52,380
costs or for debt repayment cost

4937
03:48:52,380 --> 03:48:55,140
um so if we were to incur additional

4938
03:48:55,140 --> 03:48:56,760
debt

4939
03:48:56,760 --> 03:48:58,920
um then the plan 8.5 million we'd have

4940
03:48:58,920 --> 03:49:00,239
to be very mindful that we weren't

4941
03:49:00,239 --> 03:49:02,040
exceeding that 550 so there could be

4942
03:49:02,040 --> 03:49:03,779
favorable interest rates in two years it

4943
03:49:03,779 --> 03:49:05,819
would allow us to raise that amount

4944
03:49:05,819 --> 03:49:07,680
potentially but the main thing is we

4945
03:49:07,680 --> 03:49:10,439
don't want to impact the tax levy any

4946
03:49:10,439 --> 03:49:12,720
more than that 550 that's already built

4947
03:49:12,720 --> 03:49:15,120
into the budget

4948
03:49:15,120 --> 03:49:16,920
thanks

4949
03:49:16,920 --> 03:49:20,570
councilmani

4950
03:49:20,580 --> 03:49:22,439
I guess I'm

4951
03:49:22,439 --> 03:49:24,739
I'm happy that we moved this far ahead

4952
03:49:24,739 --> 03:49:26,540
and

4953
03:49:26,540 --> 03:49:30,000
Lynn's explanation of the financing is

4954
03:49:30,000 --> 03:49:32,640
kind of clarified for me how we're how

4955
03:49:32,640 --> 03:49:35,700
we're going thank you

4956
03:49:35,700 --> 03:49:38,880
counselor Pope through your worship

4957
03:49:38,880 --> 03:49:41,880
um at what date do we have to tell task

4958
03:49:41,880 --> 03:49:43,739
force engineering that we're going

4959
03:49:43,739 --> 03:49:46,929
forward or not

4960
03:49:46,939 --> 03:49:50,399
we are at a stage now where

4961
03:49:50,399 --> 03:49:53,279
um the design is is uh very close to

4962
03:49:53,279 --> 03:49:56,100
completion I think we're at 90 percent

4963
03:49:56,100 --> 03:50:00,180
um so we need to tell them uh very soon

4964
03:50:00,180 --> 03:50:02,760
we don't have an exact date and it's

4965
03:50:02,760 --> 03:50:04,620
largely because

4966
03:50:04,620 --> 03:50:07,500
um the this uh cost estimate too I mean

4967
03:50:07,500 --> 03:50:09,540
a council awarded the design build

4968
03:50:09,540 --> 03:50:12,420
contract to uh task force in February I

4969
03:50:12,420 --> 03:50:14,700
think earlier this year so they're also

4970
03:50:14,700 --> 03:50:16,979
at a stage where in order to secure this

4971
03:50:16,979 --> 03:50:20,460
this particular cost estimate

4972
03:50:20,460 --> 03:50:22,800
um they need to move forward as well so

4973
03:50:22,800 --> 03:50:23,939
they will

4974
03:50:23,939 --> 03:50:26,520
um so the the longer it's prolonged

4975
03:50:26,520 --> 03:50:28,080
potentially that that price could even

4976
03:50:28,080 --> 03:50:30,180
change right so

4977
03:50:30,180 --> 03:50:31,859
um that's the situation we have now I

4978
03:50:31,859 --> 03:50:32,460
don't know if there's anything

4979
03:50:32,460 --> 03:50:34,439
additional to add to that Peter if but I

4980
03:50:34,439 --> 03:50:36,720
think that's where we're at

4981
03:50:36,720 --> 03:50:38,460
through you you worship yeah that's

4982
03:50:38,460 --> 03:50:41,399
correct Lynn um we we're we've already

4983
03:50:41,399 --> 03:50:44,040
the Project's been delayed for six

4984
03:50:44,040 --> 03:50:45,720
months already

4985
03:50:45,720 --> 03:50:47,399
um and as we know the market the

4986
03:50:47,399 --> 03:50:50,220
volatility in the market is changing

4987
03:50:50,220 --> 03:50:53,640
um the sooner we're able to get the next

4988
03:50:53,640 --> 03:50:57,180
stage of the pro the project moving

4989
03:50:57,180 --> 03:50:59,640
um you know it'll give task force time

4990
03:50:59,640 --> 03:51:01,500
to go to the market on some of these

4991
03:51:01,500 --> 03:51:03,300
larger items

4992
03:51:03,300 --> 03:51:06,660
and uh and they'll be discussions about

4993
03:51:06,660 --> 03:51:10,260
uh about that moving forward with the

4994
03:51:10,260 --> 03:51:12,899
design build firm and and the costings

4995
03:51:12,899 --> 03:51:16,140
of things so that cost of Steel and so

4996
03:51:16,140 --> 03:51:18,779
on is quite volatile so the sooner the

4997
03:51:18,779 --> 03:51:20,220
better we can move forward with the

4998
03:51:20,220 --> 03:51:21,239
project

4999
03:51:21,239 --> 03:51:23,279
I mean within within a two-week time

5000
03:51:23,279 --> 03:51:25,739
three week times span of our next

5001
03:51:25,739 --> 03:51:28,500
meeting we have to decide like if we

5002
03:51:28,500 --> 03:51:30,600
waited till the next meeting there would

5003
03:51:30,600 --> 03:51:36,769
be problems

5004
03:51:36,779 --> 03:51:39,000
through you you worship I mean that's at

5005
03:51:39,000 --> 03:51:41,040
the discretion of Council of course

5006
03:51:41,040 --> 03:51:43,920
um just all I can say is the longer we

5007
03:51:43,920 --> 03:51:44,640
wait

5008
03:51:44,640 --> 03:51:46,620
you know it's just it's that much more

5009
03:51:46,620 --> 03:51:48,300
uncertain so

5010
03:51:48,300 --> 03:51:53,450
um

5011
03:51:53,460 --> 03:51:56,760
yeah just looking at 2.8 million and

5012
03:51:56,760 --> 03:51:58,560
hopeful that we can get there when we

5013
03:51:58,560 --> 03:52:01,800
need it so that's that's all thank you

5014
03:52:01,800 --> 03:52:04,620
yeah I I think to add to what Lynn said

5015
03:52:04,620 --> 03:52:06,840
and what Peter said

5016
03:52:06,840 --> 03:52:09,180
um you know I've had had discussions and

5017
03:52:09,180 --> 03:52:12,239
I'm having further discussions with our

5018
03:52:12,239 --> 03:52:15,960
uh our MPP and our MP who

5019
03:52:15,960 --> 03:52:18,540
um have both

5020
03:52:18,540 --> 03:52:21,479
um been very supportive of of the idea

5021
03:52:21,479 --> 03:52:23,340
and and

5022
03:52:23,340 --> 03:52:24,779
um

5023
03:52:24,779 --> 03:52:27,239
I guess giving an assurance that they

5024
03:52:27,239 --> 03:52:29,520
are working towards getting us some

5025
03:52:29,520 --> 03:52:32,220
extra funding and I I did

5026
03:52:32,220 --> 03:52:35,520
um have a meeting with the uh with the

5027
03:52:35,520 --> 03:52:37,979
Dan borwick from the county who tells me

5028
03:52:37,979 --> 03:52:40,859
that uh his understanding is that there

5029
03:52:40,859 --> 03:52:43,260
is some infrastructure money being freed

5030
03:52:43,260 --> 03:52:47,760
up as sort of as we speak and uh that um

5031
03:52:47,760 --> 03:52:49,979
you know it'll be forthcoming and we're

5032
03:52:49,979 --> 03:52:52,859
eligible for some of that uh funding so

5033
03:52:52,859 --> 03:52:55,979
I think there's a lot of avenues that um

5034
03:52:55,979 --> 03:52:59,939
that we can go down uh and to put you

5035
03:52:59,939 --> 03:53:02,100
know to Lynn and Peter's Point

5036
03:53:02,100 --> 03:53:03,180
um

5037
03:53:03,180 --> 03:53:06,060
uh my concern is if we wait much longer

5038
03:53:06,060 --> 03:53:07,979
then task force is going to come back

5039
03:53:07,979 --> 03:53:11,100
and say well it's you know we we need

5040
03:53:11,100 --> 03:53:13,739
another million dollars and and I

5041
03:53:13,739 --> 03:53:16,020
um you know this is um

5042
03:53:16,020 --> 03:53:18,239
I I think we've been working on this for

5043
03:53:18,239 --> 03:53:21,120
15 years

5044
03:53:21,120 --> 03:53:25,080
um I know it's it's been part of uh my

5045
03:53:25,080 --> 03:53:28,080
history at this Council since I I became

5046
03:53:28,080 --> 03:53:33,960
a counselor and um uh you know I I think

5047
03:53:33,960 --> 03:53:35,520
it's um

5048
03:53:35,520 --> 03:53:37,979
something we need and I I hope that we

5049
03:53:37,979 --> 03:53:40,319
can we can go forward with it counselor

5050
03:53:40,319 --> 03:53:41,700
English

5051
03:53:41,700 --> 03:53:44,040
thank you Mr Mayor you kind of answered

5052
03:53:44,040 --> 03:53:45,479
my question I know it does put the

5053
03:53:45,479 --> 03:53:47,580
municipality at some risk the 2.8

5054
03:53:47,580 --> 03:53:50,279
million dollars but uh

5055
03:53:50,279 --> 03:53:53,819
uh we did meet at Amo and Lynn put on a

5056
03:53:53,819 --> 03:53:56,520
great presentation and since that we

5057
03:53:56,520 --> 03:53:58,560
have got a letter back from the

5058
03:53:58,560 --> 03:54:01,680
provincial government saying to you know

5059
03:54:01,680 --> 03:54:04,439
start asking the federal government does

5060
03:54:04,439 --> 03:54:06,120
this take another letter to the federal

5061
03:54:06,120 --> 03:54:07,979
government how should this be dealt with

5062
03:54:07,979 --> 03:54:10,920
like uh you know you're only talking 2.8

5063
03:54:10,920 --> 03:54:12,899
million dollars for a split of federal

5064
03:54:12,899 --> 03:54:15,000
and provincial money here it's not a

5065
03:54:15,000 --> 03:54:17,939
great deal of money is our next steps a

5066
03:54:17,939 --> 03:54:20,819
letter to the federal government

5067
03:54:20,819 --> 03:54:21,479
um

5068
03:54:21,479 --> 03:54:25,020
I am due to have a phone conversation

5069
03:54:25,020 --> 03:54:30,420
with our mp uh in the next week and

5070
03:54:30,420 --> 03:54:33,300
that is at the top of the list on on

5071
03:54:33,300 --> 03:54:35,640
where we should go he was very

5072
03:54:35,640 --> 03:54:37,580
supportive and felt that there was

5073
03:54:37,580 --> 03:54:41,279
somewhere to move up there uh and uh so

5074
03:54:41,279 --> 03:54:44,160
I my conversation with him is going to

5075
03:54:44,160 --> 03:54:46,560
be where do we go and who do we talk to

5076
03:54:46,560 --> 03:54:47,880
and

5077
03:54:47,880 --> 03:54:52,800
um as I say he he felt that there was

5078
03:54:52,800 --> 03:54:55,319
there was room to work up there so and

5079
03:54:55,319 --> 03:54:57,420
when when you look at the numbers

5080
03:54:57,420 --> 03:54:58,859
um you know we're holding up our our

5081
03:54:58,859 --> 03:55:02,160
piece of the action here when when the

5082
03:55:02,160 --> 03:55:05,040
um you know history our original you

5083
03:55:05,040 --> 03:55:06,779
know our original bid was 36 million

5084
03:55:06,779 --> 03:55:08,640
dollars which we knew we couldn't afford

5085
03:55:08,640 --> 03:55:11,160
and we brought that down to 16 million

5086
03:55:11,160 --> 03:55:11,939
dollars

5087
03:55:11,939 --> 03:55:14,699
or 17 million dollars in that range of

5088
03:55:14,699 --> 03:55:18,540
which we were paying 55 and the FEDS in

5089
03:55:18,540 --> 03:55:20,460
the province were covering the other 45

5090
03:55:20,460 --> 03:55:21,720
percent

5091
03:55:21,720 --> 03:55:24,779
we were now in a position of 21 million

5092
03:55:24,779 --> 03:55:27,300
dollars we're still covering 55 percent

5093
03:55:27,300 --> 03:55:30,600
of that that money so all we're asking

5094
03:55:30,600 --> 03:55:33,359
the province and the FEDS to do is come

5095
03:55:33,359 --> 03:55:35,520
to the table with their fair share of

5096
03:55:35,520 --> 03:55:38,580
what the original uh deal was so

5097
03:55:38,580 --> 03:55:40,859
um it's what it's what's out there and

5098
03:55:40,859 --> 03:55:43,500
and what we're asking for as far as uh

5099
03:55:43,500 --> 03:55:46,260
uh fairness so

5100
03:55:46,260 --> 03:55:48,720
okay okay

5101
03:55:48,720 --> 03:55:49,319
um

5102
03:55:49,319 --> 03:55:52,260
counselor gettings three year worship

5103
03:55:52,260 --> 03:55:54,540
um I I suspect this is a lump sum

5104
03:55:54,540 --> 03:55:56,880
contract is there a plan in place for

5105
03:55:56,880 --> 03:55:58,680
scope creep

5106
03:55:58,680 --> 03:56:00,479
um extra cost to the original project

5107
03:56:00,479 --> 03:56:03,590
amount

5108
03:56:03,600 --> 03:56:05,760
through you you worship um that's all

5109
03:56:05,760 --> 03:56:07,800
part of the next the next stage as we go

5110
03:56:07,800 --> 03:56:11,100
forward we have a value engineering

5111
03:56:11,100 --> 03:56:14,040
component worked into this project we

5112
03:56:14,040 --> 03:56:16,140
also have a cost consultant that's

5113
03:56:16,140 --> 03:56:20,279
waiting to do a market analysis on as

5114
03:56:20,279 --> 03:56:22,680
soon as we get to the basically the 100

5115
03:56:22,680 --> 03:56:26,100
percent so we feel we've done our due

5116
03:56:26,100 --> 03:56:27,479
diligence in that that it's sitting

5117
03:56:27,479 --> 03:56:30,779
there waiting and the contractor is well

5118
03:56:30,779 --> 03:56:34,380
aware of the the urgency to keep this

5119
03:56:34,380 --> 03:56:37,979
project on budget I had a meeting last

5120
03:56:37,979 --> 03:56:41,160
Friday with their president

5121
03:56:41,160 --> 03:56:44,760
um and uh you know it's

5122
03:56:44,760 --> 03:56:47,520
it's crucial for for Trent Hills as as

5123
03:56:47,520 --> 03:56:49,199
the mayor has mentioned it's been you

5124
03:56:49,199 --> 03:56:50,939
know over 15 years that we've been

5125
03:56:50,939 --> 03:56:52,859
working on this project

5126
03:56:52,859 --> 03:56:55,260
um there's

5127
03:56:55,260 --> 03:56:58,140
we've been very clear from the from the

5128
03:56:58,140 --> 03:56:59,720
very beginning of the design process

5129
03:56:59,720 --> 03:57:02,340
that we need to be

5130
03:57:02,340 --> 03:57:03,300
um

5131
03:57:03,300 --> 03:57:04,859
as Frugal as possible without

5132
03:57:04,859 --> 03:57:08,060
compromising the you know the the

5133
03:57:08,060 --> 03:57:11,040
quality of the building

5134
03:57:11,040 --> 03:57:14,040
so you know it's it's our it's our hope

5135
03:57:14,040 --> 03:57:15,540
that through this process that we're

5136
03:57:15,540 --> 03:57:19,309
able to keep everything

5137
03:57:19,319 --> 03:57:22,560
within budget and uh and we're dedicated

5138
03:57:22,560 --> 03:57:25,729
to working towards that

5139
03:57:25,739 --> 03:57:28,670
thank you

5140
03:57:28,680 --> 03:57:32,040
uh Deputy Metcalf

5141
03:57:32,040 --> 03:57:34,500
thank you worship yeah just to go on you

5142
03:57:34,500 --> 03:57:38,100
know I asked earlier how much time

5143
03:57:38,100 --> 03:57:40,380
um and CAO Phelps said we have we have

5144
03:57:40,380 --> 03:57:43,859
two years essentially to to determine

5145
03:57:43,859 --> 03:57:47,460
um the funding of the 2.85 million I

5146
03:57:47,460 --> 03:57:49,080
know it seems like a lot

5147
03:57:49,080 --> 03:57:51,540
um but I think there's a lot of of

5148
03:57:51,540 --> 03:57:53,699
um options

5149
03:57:53,699 --> 03:57:54,960
um you know there's a lot of sticks in

5150
03:57:54,960 --> 03:57:57,540
the fire that that that we should be

5151
03:57:57,540 --> 03:57:59,220
able to pull out and as I I mentioned

5152
03:57:59,220 --> 03:58:01,199
earlier in the budget

5153
03:58:01,199 --> 03:58:04,920
um we may need to uh take a look at some

5154
03:58:04,920 --> 03:58:07,920
of some of the Avenues in which we have

5155
03:58:07,920 --> 03:58:10,620
historically used funds and uh and

5156
03:58:10,620 --> 03:58:12,120
Shuffle I'm not saying take it out of

5157
03:58:12,120 --> 03:58:14,819
the budget uh in particular but I think

5158
03:58:14,819 --> 03:58:16,500
there's some movement as to where we can

5159
03:58:16,500 --> 03:58:19,560
use certain funds because some some

5160
03:58:19,560 --> 03:58:21,960
funding is allocated specifically for

5161
03:58:21,960 --> 03:58:25,500
for certain use so there there is a

5162
03:58:25,500 --> 03:58:27,540
number of options and I think with the

5163
03:58:27,540 --> 03:58:30,479
two-year period we've come this far we

5164
03:58:30,479 --> 03:58:33,540
need to uh we need to take the the

5165
03:58:33,540 --> 03:58:38,040
chance and uh know that somehow we will

5166
03:58:38,040 --> 03:58:40,380
find that shortfall in that two-year

5167
03:58:40,380 --> 03:58:42,600
period I think we've just come this far

5168
03:58:42,600 --> 03:58:45,660
and and we we can't give up that Federal

5169
03:58:45,660 --> 03:58:48,000
and provincial dollars that has come our

5170
03:58:48,000 --> 03:58:50,399
way because it doesn't happen very often

5171
03:58:50,399 --> 03:58:53,939
and uh to turn that down is just not I

5172
03:58:53,939 --> 03:58:56,340
don't think that's something that is uh

5173
03:58:56,340 --> 03:58:59,340
fiscally prudent at this time to to move

5174
03:58:59,340 --> 03:59:01,800
that forward so those are my those are

5175
03:59:01,800 --> 03:59:03,970
my opinions

5176
03:59:03,970 --> 03:59:05,699
[Music]

5177
03:59:05,699 --> 03:59:09,420
councilor Savory you worship this

5178
03:59:09,420 --> 03:59:11,640
wellness and recreational centers long

5179
03:59:11,640 --> 03:59:12,840
overdue

5180
03:59:12,840 --> 03:59:15,120
if we can keep people healthy and happy

5181
03:59:15,120 --> 03:59:17,340
in our communities they're not in our

5182
03:59:17,340 --> 03:59:18,960
hospitals they're not taking up hospital

5183
03:59:18,960 --> 03:59:22,260
beds let's get her done I'm ready to get

5184
03:59:22,260 --> 03:59:24,960
on board the money will come

5185
03:59:24,960 --> 03:59:26,460
confident if it's not from the

5186
03:59:26,460 --> 03:59:29,040
government it'll be us as a whole in our

5187
03:59:29,040 --> 03:59:31,920
community the community wants it let's

5188
03:59:31,920 --> 03:59:33,359
get her done

5189
03:59:33,359 --> 03:59:35,640
thank you

5190
03:59:35,640 --> 03:59:37,859
councilor gettings

5191
03:59:37,859 --> 03:59:39,779
through your worship I mean obviously

5192
03:59:39,779 --> 03:59:42,120
I'm for the arena I I'm very concerned

5193
03:59:42,120 --> 03:59:44,100
about a starting in the winter we

5194
03:59:44,100 --> 03:59:46,500
discussed a little bit about that be the

5195
03:59:46,500 --> 03:59:48,739
time frame of the project is two winter

5196
03:59:48,739 --> 03:59:51,540
seasons and then the scope creep I mean

5197
03:59:51,540 --> 03:59:52,979
I I don't know what we can do to

5198
03:59:52,979 --> 03:59:54,779
mitigate that I'm for going ahead with

5199
03:59:54,779 --> 03:59:56,340
it but I'm definitely going to record

5200
03:59:56,340 --> 03:59:58,020
that I'm concerned about that this may

5201
03:59:58,020 --> 04:00:00,620
not be our final price

5202
04:00:00,620 --> 04:00:05,640
uh thank you I think that in

5203
04:00:05,640 --> 04:00:07,920
um your your thoughts on the winner I

5204
04:00:07,920 --> 04:00:10,979
think by the time we get all the eyes

5205
04:00:10,979 --> 04:00:14,460
dotted and T's crossed and and uh get

5206
04:00:14,460 --> 04:00:17,160
everything ready I I suspect it'll be a

5207
04:00:17,160 --> 04:00:20,220
little warmer weather before or we'll be

5208
04:00:20,220 --> 04:00:21,960
getting close to warm weather before we

5209
04:00:21,960 --> 04:00:24,120
uh start sticking shovels in the ground

5210
04:00:24,120 --> 04:00:26,939

councilor brahany

5237

uh Mr Mayor I'm

5238
04:01:40,800 --> 04:01:42,960
I have a concern with the County's

5239
04:01:42,960 --> 04:01:45,840
approach to this they've talked about

5240
04:01:45,840 --> 04:01:47,939
the road widening which they're always

5241
04:01:47,939 --> 04:01:49,319
wanting their

5242
04:01:49,319 --> 04:01:51,300
addition at it on

5243
04:01:51,300 --> 04:01:54,060
but are they in favor of a an entrance

5244
04:01:54,060 --> 04:01:55,080
way

5245
04:01:55,080 --> 04:01:57,600
sometimes they've resisted entrances

5246
04:01:57,600 --> 04:02:01,620
that onto 45 and this case is with the

5247
04:02:01,620 --> 04:02:03,979
Topography of the lot is it

5248
04:02:03,979 --> 04:02:07,080
copacetic in their View

5249
04:02:07,080 --> 04:02:09,720
so through you Mr Mayor yes we have sent

5250
04:02:09,720 --> 04:02:10,859
it through to Northumberland for

5251
04:02:10,859 --> 04:02:13,140
comments and they have indicated that

5252
04:02:13,140 --> 04:02:15,300
they would be okay with an entrance for

5253
04:02:15,300 --> 04:02:19,729
that new lot

5254
04:02:19,739 --> 04:02:21,560
Jeff

5255
04:02:21,560 --> 04:02:24,120
thank you worship back in the public

5256
04:02:24,120 --> 04:02:25,620
meeting for this I asked the question

5257
04:02:25,620 --> 04:02:28,859
because the county came back uh they are

5258
04:02:28,859 --> 04:02:30,600
they are the um

5259
04:02:30,600 --> 04:02:33,720
hold the the permit policy for that

5260
04:02:33,720 --> 04:02:36,720
entrance they also request a one foot

5261
04:02:36,720 --> 04:02:39,080
Reserve along the front of the property

5262
04:02:39,080 --> 04:02:43,380
did we get any word back from them as to

5263
04:02:43,380 --> 04:02:48,420
why we need uh both a one foot

5264
04:02:48,420 --> 04:02:50,340
along the front of the property plus

5265
04:02:50,340 --> 04:02:52,399
they hold the rain Zone whether they

5266
04:02:52,399 --> 04:02:55,439
issue a permit for an entrance

5267
04:02:55,439 --> 04:02:59,090
right so

5268
04:02:59,100 --> 04:03:00,600

04:04:41,760 --> 04:04:45,660
additional half an acre needed

5306
04:04:45,660 --> 04:04:50,150
was there

5307
04:04:50,160 --> 04:04:52,380
ask through you Mr Right the purpose of

5308
04:04:52,380 --> 04:04:54,840

environmental features on the property

5311
04:04:58,380 --> 04:05:01,560
so initially the two lots are in

5312
04:05:01,560 --> 04:05:04,080
existence already and they've been

5313
04:05:04,080 --> 04:05:05,460
working with the conservation authority

5314
04:05:05,460 --> 04:05:08,640
to put in entrances and based off of

5315
04:05:08,640 --> 04:05:09,960
where the best locations for the

5316
04:05:09,960 --> 04:05:12,300
entrances are we needed a slight lot

5317
04:05:12,300 --> 04:05:16,550
line adjustment to accommodate those

5318
04:05:16,560 --> 04:05:19,260

I'm sorry okay

5369
04:07:36,920 --> 04:07:39,960
that's a button I'm just curious why

5370
04:07:39,960 --> 04:07:43,080
we're closing our roads

5371
04:07:43,080 --> 04:07:49,790
selling them off

5372
04:07:49,800 --> 04:07:51,600
your worship

5373
04:07:51,600 --> 04:07:53,399
it's been um

5374
04:07:53,399 --> 04:07:55,739
through UT counselor Savory it's been

5375
04:07:55,739 --> 04:07:57,359
somewhat of a long-standing practice

5376
04:07:57,359 --> 04:08:00,600
with the council for the last um I'll

5377
04:08:00,600 --> 04:08:01,439
say

5378
04:08:01,439 --> 04:08:03,420
eight to twelve years to look at Road

5379
04:08:03,420 --> 04:08:05,520
allowances that are unnecessary to the

5380
04:08:05,520 --> 04:08:07,800
municipality and look at opportunities

5381
04:08:07,800 --> 04:08:10,920
for budding Property Owners to apply to

5382
04:08:10,920 --> 04:08:12,540
close them and join them to their own

5383
04:08:12,540 --> 04:08:15,420
lands the particular application in

5384
04:08:15,420 --> 04:08:17,220
question is a Boundary Road between

5385
04:08:17,220 --> 04:08:19,800
Trent Hills and Brighton it runs through

5386
04:08:19,800 --> 04:08:21,540
the farmers field and in fact I think

5387
04:08:21,540 --> 04:08:24,540
one of their barns is partially on the

5388
04:08:24,540 --> 04:08:26,520
portion of the road allowance so it's

5389
04:08:26,520 --> 04:08:28,199
been that way for a number of years and

5390
04:08:28,199 --> 04:08:30,479
they're proceeding to sort of I guess

5391
04:08:30,479 --> 04:08:33,979
clean up how the land is utilized

5392
04:08:33,979 --> 04:08:36,479
the actual roads that are utilized by

5393
04:08:36,479 --> 04:08:38,399
the public go around this so it's not

5394
04:08:38,399 --> 04:08:40,020
necessary to

5395
04:08:40,020 --> 04:08:42,600
um any transportation needs of the

5396
04:08:42,600 --> 04:08:44,520
municipality it's gone through the

5397
04:08:44,520 --> 04:08:46,380
public process both through the township

5398
04:08:46,380 --> 04:08:48,720
of Brighton and uh Municipality of tread

5399
04:08:48,720 --> 04:08:50,160
Hills

5400
04:08:50,160 --> 04:08:55,450
thanks for the clarification Jim

5401
04:08:55,460 --> 04:08:58,800
so carry on with the second motion we

5402
04:08:58,800 --> 04:09:00,660

5406
04:09:09,540 --> 04:09:12,000
closure and sale of the north one half

5407
04:09:12,000 --> 04:09:16,439
of part one on plan 39r 132 92 being

5408
04:09:16,439 --> 04:09:18,300

5409

5410
04:09:19,380 --> 04:09:22,199

complete application request and that

and secondary Gene and Rick

5419
04:09:40,859 --> 04:09:49,570
on deputy

5420
04:09:49,580 --> 04:09:51,680
thank you worship

5421
04:09:51,680 --> 04:09:56,640
uh in this report and and in subsequent

5422
04:09:56,640 --> 04:10:00,120
reports it talks about the historic rate

5423
04:10:00,120 --> 04:10:02,399
of uh the value of a thousand dollars

5424
04:10:02,399 --> 04:10:05,279
per acre what how long has that been in

5425
04:10:05,279 --> 04:10:07,140
place do we know the date that that uh

5426
04:10:07,140 --> 04:10:08,880
thousand dollars was

5427
04:10:08,880 --> 04:10:11,479
set

5428
04:10:11,479 --> 04:10:16,199
as The Keeper of the municipal memory

5429
04:10:16,199 --> 04:10:18,600
I can say that it probably dates back to

5430
04:10:18,600 --> 04:10:21,300
uh to a fee that was established by

5431
04:10:21,300 --> 04:10:22,979
Seymour Council that carried forward

5432
04:10:22,979 --> 04:10:24,779
into amalgamation

5433
04:10:24,779 --> 04:10:26,699
there's been quite considerable

5434
04:10:26,699 --> 04:10:29,100
discussion among staff we thought at one

5435
04:10:29,100 --> 04:10:31,560
time we had Incorporated this in to the

5436
04:10:31,560 --> 04:10:33,420
fees bylaw we could not find the history

5437
04:10:33,420 --> 04:10:34,520
of that

5438
04:10:34,520 --> 04:10:37,680
but it has been the practice when people

5439
04:10:37,680 --> 04:10:40,260
ask what is the cost this is what the

5440
04:10:40,260 --> 04:10:43,739
information we've provided and this uh

5441
04:10:43,739 --> 04:10:46,439
has formed the impetus for a new

5442
04:10:46,439 --> 04:10:48,120
proposal that will be coming forward in

5443
04:10:48,120 --> 04:10:51,840
the fees by law for 2023.

5444
04:10:51,840 --> 04:10:54,720

5445
04:10:54,720 --> 04:10:57,260

anybody else that's behind it uh that it

5493
04:33:59,279 --> 04:34:00,299
would affect anybody for future

5494
04:34:00,299 --> 04:34:04,260
development or if the robe was opened up

5495
04:34:04,260 --> 04:34:07,260
through your worship if you refer to the

5496
04:34:07,260 --> 04:34:09,359
um plan of the survey that's attached to

5497
04:34:09,359 --> 04:34:11,699
the report you'll see that this is a

5498
04:34:11,699 --> 04:34:13,199
portion of the road that comes off the

5499
04:34:13,199 --> 04:34:16,020
14th concession East it's mainly

5500
04:34:16,020 --> 04:34:17,400
comprised of

5501
04:34:17,400 --> 04:34:17,939
um

5502
04:34:17,939 --> 04:34:20,879
a canal where Storm Water Management

5503
04:34:20,879 --> 04:34:23,699
water or storm Waters from the fields

5504
04:34:23,699 --> 04:34:26,580
around go into the Trent River so we are

5505
04:34:26,580 --> 04:34:28,980
maintaining the portion uh with that

5506
04:34:28,980 --> 04:34:33,119
channel on it uh there's a house I think

5507
04:34:33,119 --> 04:34:34,619
you can tell that the house is quite

5508
04:34:34,619 --> 04:34:37,439
close to the edge of the road allowance

5509
04:34:37,439 --> 04:34:39,119
we are transferring

5510
04:34:39,119 --> 04:34:42,180
um 10 feet of the road allowance to the

5511
04:34:42,180 --> 04:34:44,340
property to give them some setback

5512
04:34:44,340 --> 04:34:47,100
and we will maintain an easement over it

5513
04:34:47,100 --> 04:34:49,500
that will allow us access for equipment

5514
04:34:49,500 --> 04:34:51,840
in the future so certainly not

5515
04:34:51,840 --> 04:34:54,660
interfering with anybody's access or

5516
04:34:54,660 --> 04:34:56,600
anything like that

5517
04:34:56,600 --> 04:34:59,699
do we still have a policy in place

5518
04:34:59,699 --> 04:35:02,580
admission regards to

5519
04:35:02,580 --> 04:35:03,420
um

5520
04:35:03,420 --> 04:35:05,340
half the road being offered to one

5521
04:35:05,340 --> 04:35:07,141
property owner and the other half to the

5522
04:35:07,141 --> 04:35:08,820
other side is that still a policy that

5523
04:35:08,820 --> 04:35:11,039
we haven't practiced

5524
04:35:11,039 --> 04:35:13,740
through you your worship it was removed

5525
04:35:13,740 --> 04:35:17,459
from the municipal act I think uh an

5526
04:35:17,459 --> 04:35:19,980
amendments in 2003 that that's no longer

5527
04:35:19,980 --> 04:35:22,020
a requirement it has been the practice

5528
04:35:22,020 --> 04:35:24,420
of council to offer

5529
04:35:24,420 --> 04:35:25,080
um

5530
04:35:25,080 --> 04:35:28,020
property to abutting landowners and

5531
04:35:28,020 --> 04:35:29,160
you'll see that in some of the other

5532
04:35:29,160 --> 04:35:30,539
applications that are coming forward

5533
04:35:30,539 --> 04:35:33,420
that's what initiated it but in some

5534
04:35:33,420 --> 04:35:35,699
cases it's uh it's not mandatory and

5535
04:35:35,699 --> 04:35:37,799
Council can make the decision to sell to

5536
04:35:37,799 --> 04:35:38,580
other

5537
04:35:38,580 --> 04:35:42,061
property owners in certain situations

5538
04:35:42,061 --> 04:35:44,879
okay and and if there's a disagreeance

5539
04:35:44,879 --> 04:35:46,340
between

5540
04:35:46,340 --> 04:35:48,660
two Property Owners on each side of the

5541
04:35:48,660 --> 04:35:51,480
road allowance to an interest how do

5542
04:35:51,480 --> 04:35:53,400
they how do we address that and how do

5543
04:35:53,400 --> 04:35:55,439
how do we is the first one on the gate

5544
04:35:55,439 --> 04:35:57,539
that gets approved we try to work it out

5545
04:35:57,539 --> 04:35:58,980
behind the scenes and bring it forward

5546
04:35:58,980 --> 04:36:01,260
to council uh usually if there's

5547
04:36:01,260 --> 04:36:03,240
interests it's just a matter of one

5548
04:36:03,240 --> 04:36:05,039
property owner owning it and the other

5549
04:36:05,039 --> 04:36:06,539
one having a right-of-way or an easement

5550
04:36:06,539 --> 04:36:08,699
over it that way they both have

5551
04:36:08,699 --> 04:36:11,580
continued access because I can remember

5552
04:36:11,580 --> 04:36:14,219
personally uh there was an unopen Road

5553
04:36:14,219 --> 04:36:16,439
allowance through my subdivision years

5554
04:36:16,439 --> 04:36:18,359
ago that was sold off and it was split

5555
04:36:18,359 --> 04:36:21,779
in half and half half of an owner one

5556
04:36:21,779 --> 04:36:23,279
owner and one side about half the other

5557
04:36:23,279 --> 04:36:25,619
half was bought by the other owner that

5558
04:36:25,619 --> 04:36:27,119
was uh

5559
04:36:27,119 --> 04:36:29,100
um the way it was done then I'm not sure

5560
04:36:29,100 --> 04:36:30,840
like you said the missile acts changed

5561
04:36:30,840 --> 04:36:37,369
or we or we've changed them as black

5562
04:36:37,379 --> 04:36:40,609
the

5563
04:36:40,619 --> 04:36:42,779
um it's really a change in Municipal act

5564
04:36:42,779 --> 04:36:45,660
but we we still work with both

5565
04:36:45,660 --> 04:36:48,240
landowners or however many landowners

5566
04:36:48,240 --> 04:36:51,119
are involved to uh come to something

5567
04:36:51,119 --> 04:36:54,719
that would work for everyone hopefully I

5568
04:36:54,719 --> 04:36:55,859
mean

5569
04:36:55,859 --> 04:36:59,400
yeah I mean I believe I know where

5570
04:36:59,400 --> 04:37:01,439
you're coming from and I

5571
04:37:01,439 --> 04:37:04,760
I think you know as as Council we've

5572
04:37:04,760 --> 04:37:06,959
looked at the you know different

5573
04:37:06,959 --> 04:37:09,840
situations down you know as we've worked

5574
04:37:09,840 --> 04:37:13,020
on these but there has to be some kind

5575
04:37:13,020 --> 04:37:14,219
of

5576
04:37:14,219 --> 04:37:15,480
um

5577
04:37:15,480 --> 04:37:16,980
uh

5578
04:37:16,980 --> 04:37:19,141
an agreement between the parties and

5579
04:37:19,141 --> 04:37:21,660
then and they can't all just be one way

5580
04:37:21,660 --> 04:37:24,299
yeah with an example a recent example I

5581
04:37:24,299 --> 04:37:27,660
wasn't I was uh adjoining neighbor to

5582
04:37:27,660 --> 04:37:30,480
um up at Silver Heights in Percy

5583
04:37:30,480 --> 04:37:33,420
Township the road wasn't sold to the

5584
04:37:33,420 --> 04:37:34,799
individual with the property owner

5585
04:37:34,799 --> 04:37:37,400
beside them they were they were

5586
04:37:37,400 --> 04:37:40,199
requested to improve the road

5587
04:37:40,199 --> 04:37:43,141
and and put in a two a five million

5588
04:37:43,141 --> 04:37:45,660
dollar insurance policy on that road

5589
04:37:45,660 --> 04:37:48,359
which is part of an ATV trail

5590
04:37:48,359 --> 04:37:49,740
and

5591
04:37:49,740 --> 04:37:51,900
so that robe wasn't sold to them but yet

5592
04:37:51,900 --> 04:37:54,600
they had to pay the improvements to open

5593
04:37:54,600 --> 04:37:57,959
it up and and then put in insurance

5594
04:37:57,959 --> 04:38:00,420
um policy on how to protect the

5595
04:38:00,420 --> 04:38:03,719
municipality is that correct Tim that is

5596
04:38:03,719 --> 04:38:05,459
through the road easement agreement

5597
04:38:05,459 --> 04:38:07,799
which Council had approved us being able

5598
04:38:07,799 --> 04:38:09,719
to utilize and so we did have a property

5599
04:38:09,719 --> 04:38:12,119
owner that wanted to take advantage of

5600
04:38:12,119 --> 04:38:14,219
that opportunity and that final report

5601
04:38:14,219 --> 04:38:16,199
will be coming to council I expect that

5602
04:38:16,199 --> 04:38:18,359
the December council meeting we now have

5603
04:38:18,359 --> 04:38:21,119
the final survey in place that shows the

5604
04:38:21,119 --> 04:38:23,100
portion of land subject to that easement

5605
04:38:23,100 --> 04:38:26,400
so yes the the policy is to have uh

5606
04:38:26,400 --> 04:38:29,039
Insurance of that level

5607
04:38:29,039 --> 04:38:32,279
I know that the owner had talked to me

5608
04:38:32,279 --> 04:38:34,740
and stated that they had to pay fifty

5609
04:38:34,740 --> 04:38:36,180
thousand dollars just to improve that

5610
04:38:36,180 --> 04:38:39,539
portion of the road to accommodate them

5611
04:38:39,539 --> 04:38:41,641
down to their property so that they

5612
04:38:41,641 --> 04:38:43,199
could potentially get a building permit

5613
04:38:43,199 --> 04:38:46,799
eventually and and do some expansion on

5614
04:38:46,799 --> 04:38:48,719
their property

5615
04:38:48,719 --> 04:38:52,799
and Dennis I think in this case we

5616
04:38:52,799 --> 04:38:54,180
should deal with what we're dealing with

5617
04:38:54,180 --> 04:38:57,779
here and right that that particular case

5618
04:38:57,779 --> 04:38:59,400
will come come forward see the

5619
04:38:59,400 --> 04:39:03,189

be created by these changes and their

5681
04:41:45,060 --> 04:41:46,200

5689
04:42:04,320 --> 04:42:08,700
um she's almost skipped over there Deb

5690
04:42:08,700 --> 04:42:11,760
uh could I address this before questions

5691
04:42:11,760 --> 04:42:15,240
come forward Mr Mayor yes thank you so

5692
04:42:15,240 --> 04:42:16,980
uh

5693
04:42:16,980 --> 04:42:19,020
this bill along with many others that

5694
04:42:19,020 --> 04:42:21,240
the province has put forward is probably

5695
04:42:21,240 --> 04:42:22,260
making

5696
04:42:22,260 --> 04:42:24,718
um some of the most substantive changes

5697
04:42:24,718 --> 04:42:26,400
we've ever seen to planning and

5698
04:42:26,400 --> 04:42:29,458
development in the province and because

5699
04:42:29,458 --> 04:42:32,760
we at the local level are the approval

5700
04:42:32,760 --> 04:42:34,320
Authority we're going to be the ones

5701
04:42:34,320 --> 04:42:36,000
that are feeling the

5702
04:42:36,000 --> 04:42:39,718
impacts of these changes and we've tried

5703
04:42:39,718 --> 04:42:42,360
to summarize them in the report and

5704
04:42:42,360 --> 04:42:44,820
we've added a lot of material onto the

5705
04:42:44,820 --> 04:42:46,638
back of the report from other

5706
04:42:46,638 --> 04:42:50,100
agencies with their comments

5707
04:42:50,100 --> 04:42:52,260
especially would refer you to the Watson

5708
04:42:52,260 --> 04:42:55,320
comments regarding potential loss of

5709
04:42:55,320 --> 04:42:57,718
revenue from development charges you'll

5710
04:42:57,718 --> 04:43:00,180
see that also in the report that was

5711
04:43:00,180 --> 04:43:02,298
taken to County Council about

5712
04:43:02,298 --> 04:43:05,340
loss of development charges that is

5713
04:43:05,340 --> 04:43:07,500
being targeted at affordable housing

5714
04:43:07,500 --> 04:43:10,920
which is one of the goals of this bill

5715
04:43:10,920 --> 04:43:12,840
um I'd say that from a municipal just to

5716
04:43:12,840 --> 04:43:14,160
try and summarize this and I'm sure

5717
04:43:14,160 --> 04:43:15,600
there'd be questions

5718
04:43:15,600 --> 04:43:18,060
the major impacts are

5719
04:43:18,060 --> 04:43:20,400
um if we don't have the ability to rely

5720
04:43:20,400 --> 04:43:22,378
on the conservation authorities and the

5721
04:43:22,378 --> 04:43:24,600
agreements we have on with them to

5722
04:43:24,600 --> 04:43:26,580
provide information and answer questions

5723
04:43:26,580 --> 04:43:30,020
and provide certain services that

5724
04:43:30,020 --> 04:43:32,160
burden's going to either come onto

5725
04:43:32,160 --> 04:43:34,020
Municipal staff or we're going to say to

5726
04:43:34,020 --> 04:43:35,520
the applicant you're going to have to

5727
04:43:35,520 --> 04:43:37,680
get a third party consultant to answer

5728
04:43:37,680 --> 04:43:40,620
and provide that information

5729
04:43:40,620 --> 04:43:42,000
um

5730
04:43:42,000 --> 04:43:44,700
also significant changes

5731
04:43:44,700 --> 04:43:47,218
um to how we deal with Heritage matters

5732
04:43:47,218 --> 04:43:50,280
and you can see the significant changes

5733
04:43:50,280 --> 04:43:52,040
in terms of

5734
04:43:52,040 --> 04:43:54,540
perhaps no longer any third party

5735
04:43:54,540 --> 04:43:56,820
appeals that is your neighbor cannot

5736
04:43:56,820 --> 04:43:59,340
appeal a decision of counsel to the

5737
04:43:59,340 --> 04:44:01,740
Ontario land Tribunal

5738
04:44:01,740 --> 04:44:03,780
which I think if you think about it from

5739
04:44:03,780 --> 04:44:06,180
a council perspective would mean a lot

5740
04:44:06,180 --> 04:44:07,440
more pressure

5741
04:44:07,440 --> 04:44:09,600
coming to be on Council because you're

5742
04:44:09,600 --> 04:44:11,820
essentially making the ultimate and

5743
04:44:11,820 --> 04:44:13,378
final decision when you consider a

5744
04:44:13,378 --> 04:44:15,540
matter so just leave my comments at

5745
04:44:15,540 --> 04:44:17,820
those and prepare to answer questions Mr

5746
04:44:17,820 --> 04:44:18,780
Mayor

5747
04:44:18,780 --> 04:44:22,628
Okay so Michael here

5748
04:44:22,638 --> 04:44:26,160
thank you worship uh and and thank you

5749
04:44:26,160 --> 04:44:29,400
Jim I know sitting currently sitting on

5750
04:44:29,400 --> 04:44:30,718
the autonomy region conservation

5751
04:44:30,718 --> 04:44:33,000
Authority I get a lot of information

5752
04:44:33,000 --> 04:44:34,920
uh regarding this in the last little

5753
04:44:34,920 --> 04:44:36,060
while

5754
04:44:36,060 --> 04:44:38,458
and it is very troublesome

5755
04:44:38,458 --> 04:44:41,520
on many aspects like you said Jim

5756
04:44:41,520 --> 04:44:44,458
um I I find it

5757
04:44:44,458 --> 04:44:47,040
and it's not just myself many people

5758
04:44:47,040 --> 04:44:48,900
find it very deliberate that the first

5759
04:44:48,900 --> 04:44:52,440
reading of this came out on October 25th

5760
04:44:52,440 --> 04:44:55,320
the day after I mean a municipal

5761
04:44:55,320 --> 04:44:57,780
election knowing that municipalities

5762
04:44:57,780 --> 04:44:59,100
aren't

5763
04:44:59,100 --> 04:45:01,200
in any order

5764
04:45:01,200 --> 04:45:03,420
to make comment

5765
04:45:03,420 --> 04:45:05,280
quickly on the matter

5766
04:45:05,280 --> 04:45:09,240
second reading came out six days later

5767
04:45:09,240 --> 04:45:10,260
um

5768
04:45:10,260 --> 04:45:11,940
if anyone wants to tell me that that's

5769
04:45:11,940 --> 04:45:14,878
that wasn't a deliberate timeline

5770
04:45:14,878 --> 04:45:17,700
I I'll challenge that

5771
04:45:17,700 --> 04:45:19,280
um

5772
04:45:19,280 --> 04:45:22,860
widespread planning changes uh

5773
04:45:22,860 --> 04:45:25,440
you know like Jim said and especially

5774
04:45:25,440 --> 04:45:27,260
development charges

5775
04:45:27,260 --> 04:45:30,360
it growth is supposed to pay for growth

5776
04:45:30,360 --> 04:45:32,520
and it's I mean that if you look and you

5777
04:45:32,520 --> 04:45:34,500
read all the documents that are are with

5778
04:45:34,500 --> 04:45:36,320
this report I don't know how many times

5779
04:45:36,320 --> 04:45:39,660
that's alluded to is is that growth pays

5780
04:45:39,660 --> 04:45:41,160
for growth if growth doesn't pay for

5781
04:45:41,160 --> 04:45:42,780
growth

5782
04:45:42,780 --> 04:45:44,878
your neighbor is paying

5783
04:45:44,878 --> 04:45:47,400
for the subdivision like the residents

5784
04:45:47,400 --> 04:45:49,860
of this of each municipality is is

5785
04:45:49,860 --> 04:45:53,280
paying for that housing development and

5786
04:45:53,280 --> 04:45:55,920
not the developer that could potentially

5787
04:45:55,920 --> 04:45:58,260
be profiting

5788
04:45:58,260 --> 04:46:02,120
a lot from from those development builds

5789
04:46:02,120 --> 04:46:06,060
putting that onus on the back of the

5790
04:46:06,060 --> 04:46:09,120
residents of a municipality is not

5791
04:46:09,120 --> 04:46:13,440
something that I would be in favor of I

5792
04:46:13,440 --> 04:46:15,240
question what information the province

5793
04:46:15,240 --> 04:46:16,798
is receiving that states that

5794
04:46:16,798 --> 04:46:18,180
development fees are hindering

5795
04:46:18,180 --> 04:46:20,820
development growth of new homes

5796
04:46:20,820 --> 04:46:24,540
I don't think we have seen it here that

5797
04:46:24,540 --> 04:46:28,138
any development charges are hindering

5798
04:46:28,138 --> 04:46:30,718
Developers for coming and wanting to

5799
04:46:30,718 --> 04:46:32,060
build

5800
04:46:32,060 --> 04:46:36,718
uh you know correct me if I'm wrong

5801
04:46:36,718 --> 04:46:38,340
but taking that

5802
04:46:38,340 --> 04:46:40,740
Revenue Source out of the municipality

5803
04:46:40,740 --> 04:46:43,080
to be able to put back into

5804
04:46:43,080 --> 04:46:45,480
infrastructure for all that new

5805
04:46:45,480 --> 04:46:46,680
development

5806
04:46:46,680 --> 04:46:49,500
it just seems ludicrous to me and it and

5807
04:46:49,500 --> 04:46:52,560
doesn't seem like it was thought out

5808
04:46:52,560 --> 04:46:54,120
this is coming

5809
04:46:54,120 --> 04:46:57,420
on the back of what we saw Bill 3 come

5810
04:46:57,420 --> 04:46:58,920
through it was a strong marriage bill

5811
04:46:58,920 --> 04:47:02,040
which is a complete attack on Municipal

5812
04:47:02,040 --> 04:47:04,340
democracy

5813
04:47:04,340 --> 04:47:06,958
I mean back to back

5814
04:47:06,958 --> 04:47:08,700
it uh

5815
04:47:08,700 --> 04:47:11,218
it's just seems like the the province is

5816
04:47:11,218 --> 04:47:13,020
wanting to take the power any powers

5817
04:47:13,020 --> 04:47:16,020
that have been given to the municipality

5818
04:47:16,020 --> 04:47:18,900
to determine how they're going to grow

5819
04:47:18,900 --> 04:47:21,540
uh away from them

5820
04:47:21,540 --> 04:47:26,520
so I 100 support endorsing

5821
04:47:26,520 --> 04:47:29,638
the county on their ladder the eastern

5822
04:47:29,638 --> 04:47:31,320
Ontario conservation authorities on

5823
04:47:31,320 --> 04:47:34,980
their letter and uh if if our our

5824
04:47:34,980 --> 04:47:36,360
planning staff

5825
04:47:36,360 --> 04:47:39,240
feel that there's you know extra points

5826
04:47:39,240 --> 04:47:43,680
uh of Bill 23 that we need to

5827
04:47:43,680 --> 04:47:47,700
put in a letter ourselves I'm I'm much

5828
04:47:47,700 --> 04:47:52,500
supportive of that I'll leave it at that

5829
04:47:52,500 --> 04:47:56,760
I I could I could go on and on uh the

5830
04:47:56,760 --> 04:47:58,798
letter from November 4th that received

5831
04:47:58,798 --> 04:48:02,520
from Minister Steve Clark

5832
04:48:02,520 --> 04:48:04,500
doesn't really

5833
04:48:04,500 --> 04:48:08,340
address anything other than well we're

5834
04:48:08,340 --> 04:48:09,718
going to give you a little more green

5835
04:48:09,718 --> 04:48:13,620
space for the stuff that we take away so

5836
04:48:13,620 --> 04:48:16,070
um

5837
04:48:16,080 --> 04:48:18,958
I see other people are in queue so

5838
04:48:18,958 --> 04:48:21,360
take your turn Mr Mayor I just wanted to

5839
04:48:21,360 --> 04:48:23,340
know as the deputy mayor did that we

5840
04:48:23,340 --> 04:48:24,718
also had that correspondence from

5841
04:48:24,718 --> 04:48:26,280
Minister Clark that relates to this

5842
04:48:26,280 --> 04:48:27,298
report

5843
04:48:27,298 --> 04:48:29,160
thank you

5844
04:48:29,160 --> 04:48:30,600
um thanks Michael

5845
04:48:30,600 --> 04:48:35,030
um Gene

5846
04:48:35,040 --> 04:48:38,280
the deputy mayor's comments uh I've

5847
04:48:38,280 --> 04:48:43,920
renamed Bill Bill 23 is bulldozer 23. uh

5848
04:48:43,920 --> 04:48:45,540
tied in that with the other previous

5849
04:48:45,540 --> 04:48:46,798
bill

5850
04:48:46,798 --> 04:48:49,260
and go back two years ago before the

5851
04:48:49,260 --> 04:48:52,320
election uh Premier Ford seemed to have

5852
04:48:52,320 --> 04:48:54,600
this agenda that he was going to torpedo

5853
04:48:54,600 --> 04:48:57,180
conservation authorities even though it

5854
04:48:57,180 --> 04:48:59,580
was his conservative government that

5855
04:48:59,580 --> 04:49:03,718
brought their Creation in 1943 or four

5856
04:49:03,718 --> 04:49:06,240
he's done everything in his power he's

5857
04:49:06,240 --> 04:49:09,360
Frozen froze their grants that they've

5858
04:49:09,360 --> 04:49:11,878
been getting and but they keep on

5859
04:49:11,878 --> 04:49:15,120
keeping on more resolutions and more

5860
04:49:15,120 --> 04:49:18,240
shells and more shells and

5861
04:49:18,240 --> 04:49:20,458
I think people have reached the

5862
04:49:20,458 --> 04:49:22,860
frustration point with them even on

5863
04:49:22,860 --> 04:49:24,718
television last night the former mayor

5864
04:49:24,718 --> 04:49:27,480
of Toronto who had been on the he was

5865
04:49:27,480 --> 04:49:30,120
the chair of conservation Ontario and he

5866
04:49:30,120 --> 04:49:31,860
had resigned from that but he still got

5867
04:49:31,860 --> 04:49:35,040
an ear onto this and he's leading the a

5868
04:49:35,040 --> 04:49:37,080
demonstration I believe in at Queen's

5869
04:49:37,080 --> 04:49:38,580
Park over it so

5870
04:49:38,580 --> 04:49:43,680
it's just this mindset that

5871
04:49:43,680 --> 04:49:47,218
it's the premier's way or Norway

5872
04:49:47,218 --> 04:49:50,600
you know get these MCO

5873
04:49:50,600 --> 04:49:53,700
legislation that they can do and do what

5874
04:49:53,700 --> 04:49:56,280
he wants to do and now he wants to take

5875
04:49:56,280 --> 04:49:58,080
away the last little bit of a

5876
04:49:58,080 --> 04:50:01,760
consultation we have about water and

5877
04:50:01,760 --> 04:50:03,780
drainage and stuff

5878
04:50:03,780 --> 04:50:06,298
by interpreting the conservation and

5879
04:50:06,298 --> 04:50:08,700
having tying their hands further so

5880
04:50:08,700 --> 04:50:12,660
fully support the letter and

5881
04:50:12,660 --> 04:50:14,638
I don't hold my breath I don't see much

5882
04:50:14,638 --> 04:50:18,420
good cover but that's unfortunate

5883
04:50:18,420 --> 04:50:19,820
thank you

5884
04:50:19,820 --> 04:50:25,200
Dennis yes Bill 23 is bad policy being

5885
04:50:25,200 --> 04:50:26,958
in real estate for 28 years and

5886
04:50:26,958 --> 04:50:28,740
circumventing and speeding up the

5887
04:50:28,740 --> 04:50:31,680
process and and possibly have regrets

5888
04:50:31,680 --> 04:50:34,138
and lawsuits in the future because we

5889
04:50:34,138 --> 04:50:36,180
didn't do our due diligence as a council

5890
04:50:36,180 --> 04:50:38,940
or the planning department was cut short

5891
04:50:38,940 --> 04:50:41,100
in time because they were rushed through

5892
04:50:41,100 --> 04:50:44,280
the process it could backfire on on

5893
04:50:44,280 --> 04:50:45,718
everybody

5894
04:50:45,718 --> 04:50:48,780
um the the conservation authorities are

5895
04:50:48,780 --> 04:50:50,340
there for a reason I totally support

5896
04:50:50,340 --> 04:50:53,218
what Mike says uh

5897
04:50:53,218 --> 04:50:55,200
there's the reason they're there is to

5898
04:50:55,200 --> 04:50:57,780
protect people and this legislation

5899
04:50:57,780 --> 04:51:00,780
would be non non-productive in this

5900
04:51:00,780 --> 04:51:02,280
sense in the long run it's going to do

5901
04:51:02,280 --> 04:51:05,280
more damage than than it's worth

5902
04:51:05,280 --> 04:51:13,810
thank you

5903
04:51:13,820 --> 04:51:16,260
yep thank you your trip

5904
04:51:16,260 --> 04:51:17,878
um I just need to make a couple more

5905
04:51:17,878 --> 04:51:21,200
points and and one of them is with the

5906
04:51:21,200 --> 04:51:24,718
reduction of of conservation Authority

5907
04:51:24,718 --> 04:51:26,100
input what's what's going to be the

5908
04:51:26,100 --> 04:51:29,760
future cost to the municipality uh

5909
04:51:29,760 --> 04:51:32,040
because as of right now we still have to

5910
04:51:32,040 --> 04:51:34,560
get that planning information that our

5911
04:51:34,560 --> 04:51:37,860
conservation Authority uh gives us that

5912
04:51:37,860 --> 04:51:40,320
we have a memorandum of understanding to

5913
04:51:40,320 --> 04:51:43,080
get that professional opinion

5914
04:51:43,080 --> 04:51:45,360
even if that changes what's the future

5915
04:51:45,360 --> 04:51:48,298
liability on the municipality

5916
04:51:48,298 --> 04:51:52,500
and the council when we don't have that

5917
04:51:52,500 --> 04:51:56,040
professional opinion and we're approving

5918
04:51:56,040 --> 04:51:58,798
a build a development

5919
04:51:58,798 --> 04:52:00,958
and we don't we don't understand what

5920
04:52:00,958 --> 04:52:03,600
the future of that development

5921
04:52:03,600 --> 04:52:05,878
consequences of putting a development in

5922
04:52:05,878 --> 04:52:08,040
that area may be we take that

5923
04:52:08,040 --> 04:52:10,400
professional those professional opinions

5924
04:52:10,400 --> 04:52:14,160
uh so that we can make an educated a

5925
04:52:14,160 --> 04:52:16,138
decision on on

5926
04:52:16,138 --> 04:52:18,180
these applications that that come

5927
04:52:18,180 --> 04:52:20,820
towards us so the liability of the

5928
04:52:20,820 --> 04:52:23,160
municipality down the road by rushing

5929
04:52:23,160 --> 04:52:24,900
through development without taking the

5930
04:52:24,900 --> 04:52:28,040
proper steps removing public input

5931
04:52:28,040 --> 04:52:32,240
to me is just mind-blowing

5932
04:52:32,240 --> 04:52:35,820
right now if anything you're trying to

5933
04:52:35,820 --> 04:52:38,218
increase that public input input so that

5934
04:52:38,218 --> 04:52:39,600
community members can voice their

5935
04:52:39,600 --> 04:52:41,580
opinion whether it's in favor or whether

5936
04:52:41,580 --> 04:52:43,700
it's in opposition it doesn't matter

5937
04:52:43,700 --> 04:52:46,260
they have that opportunity to voice

5938
04:52:46,260 --> 04:52:48,900
their opinion on on how we're developing

5939
04:52:48,900 --> 04:52:50,638
how we're growing and how we're going to

5940
04:52:50,638 --> 04:52:52,560
change as a municipality to just

5941
04:52:52,560 --> 04:52:54,660
randomly take that away and say that

5942
04:52:54,660 --> 04:52:57,540
that doesn't matter anymore uh to me is

5943
04:52:57,540 --> 04:53:01,138
going completely completely in the wrong

5944
04:53:01,138 --> 04:53:03,180
direction I understand that we need to

5945
04:53:03,180 --> 04:53:07,680
to build houses uh and and get that

5946
04:53:07,680 --> 04:53:09,680
whole you know the whole housing

5947
04:53:09,680 --> 04:53:13,860
situation cleared up but this is is not

5948
04:53:13,860 --> 04:53:15,540
going to be the way to do it and I think

5949
04:53:15,540 --> 04:53:19,080
we'll see consequences 10 15 20 years

5950
04:53:19,080 --> 04:53:21,298
down the road when things were rushed

5951
04:53:21,298 --> 04:53:24,000
through just because we need a house

5952
04:53:24,000 --> 04:53:26,040
um and then we'll be in that same

5953
04:53:26,040 --> 04:53:28,260
position 20 years from now when they

5954
04:53:28,260 --> 04:53:30,718
were built in the wrong spot and

5955
04:53:30,718 --> 04:53:33,120
as everyone knows you know

5956
04:53:33,120 --> 04:53:35,280
climate change or

5957
04:53:35,280 --> 04:53:37,798
severe weather is not doesn't seem to be

5958
04:53:37,798 --> 04:53:41,400
going away so to me that information and

5959
04:53:41,400 --> 04:53:44,040
the professional opinion is is more

5960
04:53:44,040 --> 04:53:46,680
important even now than any and as we

5961
04:53:46,680 --> 04:53:49,378
saw earlier we're going into an

5962
04:53:49,378 --> 04:53:51,420
agreement with lower Trent conservation

5963
04:53:51,420 --> 04:53:54,298
to get some flood mapping done and um

5964
04:53:54,298 --> 04:53:55,920
like the director said from Rice Lake

5965
04:53:55,920 --> 04:53:59,580
down to to Lake Ontario to update those

5966
04:53:59,580 --> 04:54:02,400
mappings to see all right this is where

5967
04:54:02,400 --> 04:54:04,080
we're this is where we're going this is

5968
04:54:04,080 --> 04:54:06,060
the trend and this is where we should or

5969
04:54:06,060 --> 04:54:08,700
we shouldn't put development so all of

5970
04:54:08,700 --> 04:54:12,718
this to me is is backwards and it's not

5971
04:54:12,718 --> 04:54:14,600
not taking

5972
04:54:14,600 --> 04:54:18,480
us forward in a prudent way

5973
04:54:18,480 --> 04:54:20,878
thank you if I could reply uh through

5974
04:54:20,878 --> 04:54:23,160
you your worship

5975
04:54:23,160 --> 04:54:26,340
um so just to clarify it's not removal

5976
04:54:26,340 --> 04:54:28,860
of public participation but it's

5977
04:54:28,860 --> 04:54:30,660
basically focusing all that public

5978
04:54:30,660 --> 04:54:33,480
participation at the local council's

5979
04:54:33,480 --> 04:54:36,900
decision-making opportunity and removing

5980
04:54:36,900 --> 04:54:38,760
the opportunity to appeal those

5981
04:54:38,760 --> 04:54:40,500
decisions to a third party

5982
04:54:40,500 --> 04:54:44,458
buy third parties and then just to add

5983
04:54:44,458 --> 04:54:47,820
to what you said certainly if we don't

5984
04:54:47,820 --> 04:54:51,000
have the opportunity to get the

5985
04:54:51,000 --> 04:54:52,920
information from the conservation

5986
04:54:52,920 --> 04:54:55,440
Authority as we do now and we'll have to

5987
04:54:55,440 --> 04:54:57,958
charge more and hire someone whether it

5988
04:54:57,958 --> 04:55:01,020
be a third party to do that or say to

5989
04:55:01,020 --> 04:55:03,298
the applicant you are responsible for

5990
04:55:03,298 --> 04:55:05,878
you know so you know you hire a

5991
04:55:05,878 --> 04:55:07,200
consultant you provide that information

5992
04:55:07,200 --> 04:55:10,020
now we all collect more money from you

5993
04:55:10,020 --> 04:55:11,760
so we can have a third party review it

5994
04:55:11,760 --> 04:55:14,218
to make sure it's accurate so it's I

5995
04:55:14,218 --> 04:55:16,378
think it will lead to a more costly

5996
04:55:16,378 --> 04:55:21,288
process and a slower process

5997
04:55:21,298 --> 04:55:24,840
Dennis yes your mayor uh

5998
04:55:24,840 --> 04:55:27,298
the cost of doing business such as this

5999
04:55:27,298 --> 04:55:28,940
is going to be

6000
04:55:28,940 --> 04:55:31,680
non-productive and I if this Council

6001
04:55:31,680 --> 04:55:33,298
would support something whether it's a

6002
04:55:33,298 --> 04:55:35,218
motion that goes forward that sends a

6003
04:55:35,218 --> 04:55:37,200
letter to uh

6004
04:55:37,200 --> 04:55:39,540
all municipalities of the Amo whatever

6005
04:55:39,540 --> 04:55:42,000
it takes uh to David Cheney's office

6006
04:55:42,000 --> 04:55:44,040
whatever it takes to make sure that

6007
04:55:44,040 --> 04:55:45,840
we're not comfortable if I'm I mean I'm

6008
04:55:45,840 --> 04:55:47,580
not comfortable and if this Council

6009
04:55:47,580 --> 04:55:49,980
supports this idea I think they need to

6010
04:55:49,980 --> 04:55:54,430
revisit that Bill thank you

6011
04:55:54,440 --> 04:55:57,420
well I think um

6012
04:55:57,420 --> 04:56:00,298
with this resolution

6013
04:56:00,298 --> 04:56:02,700
um we're actually

6014
04:56:02,700 --> 04:56:06,480
voicing our objections um and as the

6015
04:56:06,480 --> 04:56:09,480
deputy mayor said we may want to ask our

6016
04:56:09,480 --> 04:56:11,878
own staff to add a letter

6017

6168
05:03:06,180 --> 05:03:07,500
year and a half ago

6169
05:03:07,500 --> 05:03:09,660
and realize that what they were trying

6170
05:03:09,660 --> 05:03:11,040
to do so

6171
05:03:11,040 --> 05:03:13,138
what's happened in the meantime that

6172
05:03:13,138 --> 05:03:13,980
it's

6173
05:03:13,980 --> 05:03:18,708
been sitting in advance for

05:03:18,718 --> 05:03:20,218
uh one of the things that happened in

6175
05:03:20,218 --> 05:03:21,718
the meantime is that the property sold

6176
05:03:21,718 --> 05:03:23,520
so it went from one property owner to

6177
05:03:23,520 --> 05:03:25,378
another this had started with one and

6178
05:03:25,378 --> 05:03:27,180

05:03:35,340 --> 05:03:38,040
past by Seymour Township and things need

6184
05:03:38,040 --> 05:03:39,600

6235
05:06:02,458 --> 05:06:03,780
dollar minimum

6236
05:06:03,780 --> 05:06:06,180
is that normal uh it's not it hasn't

6237
05:06:06,180 --> 05:06:07,920
been in the other two but it was in the

6238
05:06:07,920 --> 05:06:11,030
one

6239
05:06:11,040 --> 05:06:13,500
yeah so three Mr Mayor the body of the

6240
05:06:13,500 --> 05:06:16,920
report speaks to a minimum of one

6241
05:06:16,920 --> 05:06:19,740
thousand dollars okay for purchase

6242
05:06:19,740 --> 05:06:21,180
because some of them are smaller than

6243
05:06:21,180 --> 05:06:23,638
one acre yeah uh one of them did not

6244
05:06:23,638 --> 05:06:25,080
include that because it was almost

6245
05:06:25,080 --> 05:06:27,958
exactly an acre in size

6246
05:06:27,958 --> 05:06:29,100
um

6247
05:06:29,100 --> 05:06:31,620
it could be amended to include minimum

6248
05:06:31,620 --> 05:06:34,020
price of one thousand to match the other

6249
05:06:34,020 --> 05:06:35,160
one

6250
05:06:35,160 --> 05:06:39,590
if you're so inclined

6251
05:06:39,600 --> 05:06:42,770
Council

6252
05:06:42,780 --> 05:06:51,368
man

6253
05:06:51,378 --> 05:06:55,910
that two output

6254
05:06:55,920 --> 05:06:59,930
yeah it wouldn't matter

6255
05:06:59,940 --> 05:07:01,280
oh okay

6256
05:07:01,280 --> 05:07:04,260
if I could add through you Mr May at the

6257
05:07:04,260 --> 05:07:07,080
size for this is 0.62 Acres

6258
05:07:07,080 --> 05:07:09,540
so if it's a thousand per acre that's

6259
05:07:09,540 --> 05:07:11,878
500 dollars

6260
05:07:11,878 --> 05:07:13,860
so the minimum was to keep it at a

6261
05:07:13,860 --> 05:07:43,430
minimum of a thousand

6262
05:07:43,440 --> 05:09:42,250

years old and he walks us every day or a

6334

when I attended the IOD one uh and met

6343
05:13:36,958 --> 05:13:39,180

was 90.

6345
05:13:40,500 --> 05:13:43,260
and he he does walk that and I remember

6346
05:13:43,260 --> 05:13:46,020
him because the night we had the debate

6347
05:13:46,020 --> 05:13:48,180
in at the camelford legion I think the

6348
05:13:48,180 --> 05:13:50,878
first one was a sort of a nasty night as

6349
05:13:50,878 --> 05:13:53,400
I recall and as I was going in this

6350
05:13:53,400 --> 05:13:55,920
gentleman's with a walker walking his

6351
05:13:55,920 --> 05:13:59,820
dog and I I said to him um you know can

6353
05:14:01,138 --> 05:14:03,240
said no no just out for a walk with the

6354
05:14:03,240 --> 05:14:07,440
