1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000
We're going to start. We're going to bring up the 10-year individuals, starting with my close.

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Just a second.

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,000
All right. Do you want to jump in, Christie? No.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,000
No? Okay. Thank you, sir.

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,000
No problem. Here.

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000
And why do you take that and then maybe stand over there?

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Okay. Next, we've got Sue Strong.

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Are we going to do individual pictures?

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,000
What do we do? What do we get everyone up?

10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000
And then we'll do whatever Sarah tells us to do.

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Okay.

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Thanks.

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
No.

14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,000
No.

15
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Okay.

16
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Okay.

17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,000
And then next.

18
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Got Greg Timbers.

19
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Thank you.

20
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
And this is for 10 years.

21
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
So, would you 10s? All the 10s at once?

22
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Yes.

23
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Okay. Sounds good.

24
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Why do we step by?

25
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
And what do we do?

26
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Okay.

27
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Thank you.

28
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
It's one child.

29
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Okay.

30
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Barry's out on the road.

31
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Yeah.

32
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Sure.

33
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000
For 15 years. Again, Barry's out on the road.

34
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Doing exactly what we need him to do.

35
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
So thanks. Thanks to Barry.

36
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,000
For 15 years of service.

37
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000
And we'll we'll keep this for him.

38
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Similar.

39
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Tim.

40
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,000
And also on the road.

41
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Okay.

42
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
But we do for.

43
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Laura's here.

44
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Yeah. No. But what did you go?

45
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Oh, the show you were hiding behind Todd.

46
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
There we go.

47
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
I looked over and you were behind Todd.

48
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,000
20 years of service.

49
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Unbelievable.

50
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Congratulations.

51
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Thank you.

52
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Oh.

53
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Can we do this?

54
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Come on.

55
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Now, I think we should do a special photo for you.

56
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000
I'm just going to stay here on this.

57
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:35,000
And just a comment on Laura.

58
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,000
I love.

59
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,000
And we're going to touch on it with our video here in a little bit.

60
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,000
But I love seeing you doing all the wedding ceremonies.

61
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
It's so fun to see you in action with that.

62
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000
And just have the perfect personality.

63
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000
I think 96 of them this year, right?

64
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Some of that.

65
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Anyway, thank you for that.

66
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Okay.

67
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Next.

68
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
And but we've got Jamie here.

69
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,000
25 years.

70
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,000
25 years with Jamie.

71
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Let's make sure it's right.

72
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Thanks.

73
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Okay.

74
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Okay.

75
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:32,000
So we've got Brad.

76
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Okay.

77
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,000
30 years.

78
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Wow.

79
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Okay.

80
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
So first we'll bring Brad.

81
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Brad Adams.

82
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Oh, Brad.

83
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Oh, yeah.

84
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,000
So we've got Brad.

85
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Adam's coming up, Brad.

86
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,000
You guys.

87
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Good.

88
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Thank you.

89
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Thank you.

90
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:28,000
So thank you to everyone for your tremendous service.

91
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,000
And for those that aren't able to join us, we'll be sure that we give you your certificate.

92
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,000
And thank you all for just another year of tremendous service.

93
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000
We couldn't do anything if it weren't for all of you.

94
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Thank you.

95
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Okay.

96
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Next we're going to have a video play.

97
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000
What's that?

98
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000
I have a report.

99
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
There's a video.

100
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
See our video.

101
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
I don't have a video.

102
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Okay.

103
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Okay.

104
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:36,000
If you want to bring the report forward.

105
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Yeah.

106
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Can I get a motion to bring the report forward?

107
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Okay.

108
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,000
So moved by Pam seconded by Willie for report number 11.4.

109
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:53,000
This is CLO0326 from C.

110
00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:04,000
And we're just going to play it on CR's phone.

111
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000
I also encourage everyone to go through that report.

112
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,000
It's extremely impressive.

113
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Just every piece of our organization stepping up in very significant ways.

114
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000
So it's nice to look at one year.

115
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,000
It feels like there's sometimes a fire hose kind of pointed at us.

116
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000
And when you when you step back and think of what was accomplished.

117
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
It's quite impressive.

118
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Are we close?

119
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Okay.

120
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
For those who went through the report,

121
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,000
any comments before we did the video?

122
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Is that none?

123
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Yeah.

124
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,000
I'll do my regular feel good comment.

125
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,000
It's shocking.

126
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,000
The amount that is able to get done from such a small municipality.

127
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000
When you look at all the projects that are being done.

128
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,000
It's not just because not only are they laser focused on the things that need to happen,

129
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
but they work really well together.

130
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
And so this is my first term.

131
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000
This is my first kick at the can.

132
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,000
But this is not what I expected when I signed up for this.

133
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000
I knew that there'd be a lot of hard work,

134
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:25,000
but I didn't know that day and day there'd be individuals that were just making our jobs so easy

135
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000
and just an incredible amount of appreciation.

136
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000
You could look at the export, for example,

137
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,000
even just recruiting 25 new staff for the 71 seasonal staff.

138
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:40,000
If you were to ask almost any citizen of Uxbridge how many people go into supporting the Uxbridge pool,

139
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,000
they might give you a handful.

140
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,000
There's a lot that goes on.

141
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,000
And so I look at our CEO and the same breath and just to manage so many individuals

142
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
and make sure that they're all doing what they need to.

143
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,000
It's pretty great.

144
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Over to the video that I think is now ready.

145
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,000
But thanks.

146
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Thank you.

147
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Thank you.

148
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Thank you.

149
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Thank you.

150
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Thank you.

151
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Thank you.

152
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Thank you.

153
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Thank you.

154
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,000
Thank you.

155
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Thank you.

156
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000
Thank you.

157
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Thank you.

158
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Wow.

159
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,000
I don't know about you guys but I'm tired just watching the video of all the things that were done.

160
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Also, every time we see another photo, you think of the person who is driving that one, right?

161
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,000
It's like, or the people, but just love it.

162
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:19,000
So, so great to see the conference from the people in this room and the entire organization.

163
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Anything else to comment?

164
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000
What's that?

165
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,000
Did you build us here?

166
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,000
No.

167
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Okay.

168
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Nice.

169
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Good job.

170
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Fantastic.

171
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,000
It's harder to put that all together than you think.

172
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Yeah.

173
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,000
I know how long it takes for me to do like a 30-second video sometimes.

174
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000
Unbelievable.

175
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Looks fantastic.

176
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,000
And what's even more impressive than the video itself is.

177
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Each item was.

178
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,000
So much work, right?

179
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
And.

180
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,000
And then you think of the volunteer aspects of it as well.

181
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,000
I didn't.

182
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,000
I didn't catch.

183
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,000
How many hours of volunteer work on the trails?

184
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Someone.

185
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,000
See that one?

186
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,000
There Dave.

187
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,000
It was just over 800 there.

188
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,000
I believe at our last meeting that the number was slightly understated.

189
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,000
I would guess.

190
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Yeah.

191
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,000
So I mean it.

192
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000
They are looking to try to do it.

193
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,000
But these people often traverse the trails every day.

194
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,000
So as something needs repair or clean up, they just do it.

195
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,000
So they do love what they're looking after.

196
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:33,000
But often it's just, you know, happenstance that they go about doing it and cleaning up.

197
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,000
So it is slightly understated.

198
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:40,000
But we also on behalf of the Township Councilor Pickering myself to give thanks for that.

199
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Our other last meeting.

200
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Yeah.

201
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Okay.

202
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Thank you so much for putting that together.

203
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,000
It really.

204
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,000
I think it's important that every year we.

205
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,000
We take stock of what's been accomplished and what's what's left to do, right?

206
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,000
Can't thank the team enough.

207
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,000
All right.

208
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,000
So we have some delegations.

209
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Can I get a motion on the report?

210
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Any questions or comments? Can I add a friendly just to have staff make sure that that video goes out

211
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,000
on socials as well as the report?

212
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Okay. All in favour of that? That is carried. Thank you very much.

213
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,000
All right. Let's jump into our first delegation.

214
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Is the Vaan and Roger. I think you're missing half your team from the Oxford's Law and

215
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Boarding Club.

216
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Yeah, come on up. And there's a little gray button.

217
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Okay. Good. Thank you.

218
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:56,000
I am the President. I'm the President of the Oxford's Law and Boarding.

219
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,000
I have the Oxford's Law and Boarding Club for this is my third year.

220
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,000
So I haven't been with the club as the history in Uxbridge.

221
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,000
And I hear the Law and Boarding Club has had quite the history.

222
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:10,000
And the Law and Boarding Club and the town hall of the community work together.

223
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Which I think everyone, that's the issue that is involved.

224
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,000
You have to share the information.

225
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,000
So, the next slide.

226
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,000
This is a gift.

227
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,000
It heads up. Yeah.

228
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,000
It was for recreational and competition.

229
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,000
And for members we have drop in games.

230
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000
We have team competitions several times a week.

231
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,000
We do it in the evenings.

232
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
It's usually hot during the days.

233
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,000
And we also hold tournaments, which includes little.

234
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,000
We only do locals.

235
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000
We do not host any tournaments anymore.

236
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,000
But we just do the locals.

237
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,000
We just have a fun game.

238
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Our current member from last year.

239
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,000
We had actually 40 members.

240
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,000
And we had a nine year old all the way to a 90 year old.

241
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,000
And it was lovely seeing them all interacting together on the same.

242
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000
On the same game.

243
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,000
And our season outdoor season runs from April to October.

244
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000
So that's about us.

245
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
And the next one is the leasing agreement.

246
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:13,000
And the current agreement was signed in 2007.

247
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,000
And it's valid in 2024.

248
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Those of you.

249
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,000
And so yeah, we had I think a 99 year lease on it.

250
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,000
It says the township built the bowling lawn bowling green.

251
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,000
The clubhouse and the parking lot.

252
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,000
So that is owned by the township.

253
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,000
And funding some funding was supplied by the club.

254
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,000
I was not around for any of this when it happened.

255
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000
I think the new clubhouse was an 86.

256
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,000
It is when it was built and when all the stuff was going on.

257
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,000
The properties for use and enjoyment of members of the club.

258
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
It's open to members of the Uxbridge.

259
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Oh, even though you don't have to be a member to enjoy it.

260
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,000
And the township is responsible for the capital improvements.

261
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:03,000
And the club is responsible for the operational cost such as the property maintenance,

262
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,000
which is all done by volunteers.

263
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:14,000
And the insurance, which we have insurance and the township has insurance together for that.

264
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:20,000
And one of the things on the leasing agreement says it's exclusively used for lawn bowling.

265
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
If any other uses are allowed.

266
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,000
We have to contact the council to get approval.

267
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,000
So that's basically why I'm here.

268
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,000
The property for those of you who haven't seen the property.

269
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,000
It's actually an amazing property.

270
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,000
It is right in town.

271
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
And I have to say I live close to that property.

272
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:45,000
And I walk by it for about 20 years before I realized what was there.

273
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,000
And when I went inside, it's amazing.

274
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,000
So it's right behind the arena.

275
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,000
It's you access it through the parking lot of the arena.

276
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000
It has its own parking lot, which is yours there.

277
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,000
There's an equipment shed where we keep our equipment.

278
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,000
And it has an air condit.

279
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,000
It has a clubhouse, which is air conditioned heated.

280
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000
It has its accessibility.

281
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,000
There's no stairs.

282
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,000
It has washrooms.

283
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,000
It has a storage room where we put our bowls.

284
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
It has a kitchen facility.

285
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,000
It is not up to standard for.

286
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,000
It doesn't have the smart server.

287
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,000
We can't use it for anything when it that.

288
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,000
But it works for us for.

289
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000
And we have the stole of the fridge.

290
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:34,000
And it has a really big nice big meeting room.

291
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000
So.

292
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000
The next one.

293
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,000
The next one after that.

294
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,000
There.

295
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,000
So that's actually what it looks like inside.

296
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,000
And that was on a winter day.

297
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,000
It is the windows.

298
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,000
It has the windows facing south.

299
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,000
And it is.

300
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,000
That day the sun was shining in.

301
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,000
It was extremely warm inside.

302
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
It was just with the sun.

303
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
And we took all the tables and chairs away.

304
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Over the winter.

305
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Just to.

306
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Keep it like that.

307
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,000
It's.

308
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Yeah.

309
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,000
And so.

310
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:10,000
The township was got involved again when the fall of 24 mold was located in the washrooms.

311
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000
And therefore they had to be renovated.

312
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
It was another one of your capital expenses.

313
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000
I guess it was from last year.

314
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,000
And I think about 20,000 dollars was put into.

315
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,000
Redoing those bathrooms.

316
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,000
And with that renovation done.

317
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,000
It was said that to avoid it happening again.

318
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000
With the cold weather in the sun coming in.

319
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,000
That it has to be heated during the winter.

320
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:38,000
I think she said it's like 55 degrees is what they want to keep it at for winter.

321
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,000
Just to avoid.

322
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Damaging what just put all the money into.

323
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Okay.

324
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,000
So what we did last year.

325
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,000
I met with Amanda last year.

326
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,000
About this time what we're supposed to do.

327
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,000
I'm very new at all this.

328
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,000
And so we said what's how can we make the use of the facility because it's.

329
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Even when we do have lawn bowling.

330
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,000
I think facilities may be used.

331
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,000
10 hours a week.

332
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,000
And it's just sitting there.

333
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Great location.

334
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,000
Walkable everything.

335
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,000
So one of the big things as being on the executive is how to make more use of the building.

336
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,000
The facility it's there.

337
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,000
It seems hard to see something there that's not being used.

338
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:23,000
And so we did have some people asking us if they could use the facility in the winter.

339
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,000
And we ended up having some yoga.

340
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:32,000
We actually met through one of the participants when they were at the park or at the museum.

341
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,000
She was talking to his no facility and I go lunch.

342
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,000
We have one here if you want.

343
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,000
And so we tried it.

344
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Isn't in the fall to say for there.

345
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,000
And these.

346
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,000
Anyone who comes they have to have their own insurance.

347
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,000
And our insurance does cover outside groups as well.

348
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,000
That was part of in it.

349
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,000
We tried it just in the end of the year.

350
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Didn't know how winter was going to go.

351
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000
And they didn't know how it's going to go.

352
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,000
They loved it.

353
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000
They asked if they can continue with it.

354
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,000
So we thought okay.

355
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Well let's see what we can do with it.

356
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000
So since we tried it.

357
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,000
One of the things that we're finding is.

358
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,000
As volunteers.

359
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,000
We're the ones doing the snow shoveling.

360
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:18,000
So I have three very good volunteers who go up there and shovel the path.

361
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
From the gate to the entrance.

362
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,000
We also.

363
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,000
I do check it on weekends when they're not there, but it's great having.

364
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,000
People in there usually they're just Tuesday for an hour and a half.

365
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Wednesday for an hour and a half Thursday for an hour and a half.

366
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,000
So somebody's in there in the winter just to make sure it's going well.

367
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,000
And we just clean it.

368
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000
We've had issues with the locks.

369
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Winter locks.

370
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,000
We've had some issues.

371
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000
We have to work on.

372
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,000
Just but we tried it.

373
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,000
So now we know what we have to work on.

374
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000
The heat hasn't.

375
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,000
It's.

376
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,000
We've kept it now at 65 because we found 55.

377
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,000
It doesn't heat up fast enough.

378
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,000
So to keep.

379
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,000
But it'd be great if we could.

380
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000
Eventually we'd like to get a smart thermometer.

381
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,000
Thermostat or something to make it work.

382
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,000
More economical.

383
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,000
And.

384
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,000
So therefore we'd like to say.

385
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,000
That instead of just exclusively.

386
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,000
That the lawn bowling club can rent the clubhouse facility.

387
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,000
To the local community organizations and groups.

388
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:25,000
And the township should not incur any costs and obligations for this.

389
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000
And the money that we're using for.

390
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,000
That we've made.

391
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Is.

392
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:37,000
We're trying to update our equipment so that our volunteers are using equipment that doesn't need to be repaired.

393
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:42,000
As they're using it and we're hoping to keep the cost of membership down.

394
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000
So we can get more members.

395
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:49,000
So we can get more volunteers because we're down to about five volunteers who do all that work there.

396
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,000
And.

397
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,000
And yeah, so the more we can get it used.

398
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,000
How people do share with the volunteering abilities.

399
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,000
And enjoy it because it is if you haven't had a chance.

400
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,000
It's a lovely facility that you guys have all these involved with.

401
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,000
I haven't been there very long so.

402
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:13,000
And that is my presentation and I will take questions.

403
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,000
First of all, thank you very much for stepping up.

404
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Sometimes when you go to a new area, you go to a new organization.

405
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,000
You're like, oh, this is amazing. I love it.

406
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,000
And then 10 minutes later you're in charge.

407
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,000
So thank you for stepping up and assisting there.

408
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:33,000
It's great. I'm going to open up the questions.

409
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,000
All right. Oh, go ahead.

410
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,000
I'll maybe start with a statement and see if a question comes out of it.

411
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,000
I like what your club's looking to do.

412
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:48,000
We know that space allocation can sometimes be a challenge in our area.

413
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,000
We know that we don't have a lot of space always available.

414
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:58,000
I do have some questions just as it would pertain to the rental two particular groups.

415
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:04,000
I have the good fortune of sitting on the music hall board and then a lot of the work with the senior center.

416
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:09,000
So using a similar model of a shared space with public and then a very particular group.

417
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:14,000
I'm just wanting to make sure that we got the opportunity right.

418
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:21,000
And I think about folks like Toby who would be managing the financial piece of any of the revenue that would be coming in.

419
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:31,000
And then I also think about Joanne who's are our bookings clerk and what it would look like in terms of making that space available.

420
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Two groups and how do we we make sure that is fair and equitable through your group, right.

421
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:49,000
So I've just got some more general questions around the facility itself and how the township would be able to support your club in the rental of the space.

422
00:25:49,000 --> 00:26:04,000
And so I like the request. I like what's been put in you know before us, but I think it would need a little bit more before we would be able to start changing some of the wording on this on this document.

423
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,000
Yeah, just before we go to Todd.

424
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:17,000
My recommendation here is that we send this back to staff for report on how to how to make this work and how best to use the facility.

425
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:26,000
And I think we should probably do kind of baby steps, we should like, oh, this year's yoga and maybe there's one more idea maybe scouts or something and then the year after we might do something else.

426
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:35,000
So it's just really open to ideas, but I think it's best that we kick it to staff to work directly with the club on who know the space is better.

427
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,000
But Todd go ahead.

428
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Yeah, I agree with Councillor Pickering on this and I think from an aspect this brings me back to the arena when we were doing the upper room there for the one group.

429
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:55,000
And now it's opened up to others and we put something into place for that. So it might be along those lines that staff can look at and see what because it is a great facility.

430
00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:02,000
And if it's underutilized and we can make use of it and revenue, then that's a good thing.

431
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:13,000
Yeah, again, we need to we need to make sure that any space that we have in the township is serving as many people as it possibly can.

432
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Right, that's that's why we're doing these things so that you know you think just like you mentioned that room above above the arena looking down.

433
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:29,000
It was underutilized for like 20 years we need to make sure we little by little we change these things.

434
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:40,000
And I love that ideas because right now I'm in charge of all of that we were talking about and it's fine I do that but it is a lot.

435
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:48,000
So sharing with the like the volunteering the organizing the emails I get message of the lock is well it's great if we can share.

436
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:55,000
Who's in charge of everything because right now it's just all on our shoulders and to share all of that would be helpful.

437
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:01,000
And again, and we we have an existing team in place that does everything else.

438
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:11,000
So you know there might be a way that you know for this for these months this happens for these months this happens so that you don't think about when you go away on vacation or something.

439
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,000
Yeah, exactly.

440
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,000
Now I currently do have people using it and my logic continue with this.

441
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Oh, I have what we say when when we craft the motion.

442
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:27,000
What we'll add that nothing changes until there's a report comes to council.

443
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,000
That makes sense. Again, we don't want to we don't want to go backwards at all.

444
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Yeah, and again, it is not it isn't a huge facility like I think.

445
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Forty people it like it is not a huge facility and one of the things I personally for.

446
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:50,000
For using it was around till there's no alcohol just because that causes a whole bunch more problems we don't have insurance for it.

447
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:55,000
I don't we don't have storage for it. It's too open. So I haven't used any of that.

448
00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:02,000
So it's just basically for use to enjoy and it's got indoor outdoor.

449
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:10,000
The greens where we're long bowling we don't like anybody using that one because that is takes a lot of maintenance.

450
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:18,000
But there's a lot of space around the building itself which all we do is mow it so it'd be great if we can find other uses for that as well.

451
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Because it's yeah. It's it's a beautiful space if you haven't had a chance to see it.

452
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,000
Come on up there sometime because it's absolutely lovely.

453
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Even in winter that one picture shows.

454
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,000
Yeah.

455
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Again, love the creativity on this and thank you so much for highlighting this to us.

456
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
Oh, sorry really.

457
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Go ahead.

458
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,000
Not a problem, Mayor Dave. Thank you.

459
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,000
Thank you for bringing this forward to us.

460
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,000
I think back in 2018 I was owed on a door knocking way back.

461
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:55,000
And the biggest ass from the law and bowling club was the EEDs and maybe some additional support that way.

462
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,000
I think it's a good reminder that about this facility.

463
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Make it part of our ass.

464
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:06,400
Senate management plan to make sure that it's well looked after. And also, thank you for reviewing your

465
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:12,440
lease and looking at options to make it better. I don't know if I was aware it was a 99 year

466
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:19,320
lease. And because of that, there's probably an opportunity beyond this one article about

467
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:24,760
your referencing to have a peek at just to make sure that our partnership is better. And I don't

468
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:31,960
mean that with a scare or anything that way. More so just many things have happened since 2007.

469
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,520
And also just as part of our asset management plan, looking at the facility and being a

470
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:41,920
little more proactive. I mean, I've got confidence in our park staff that we're looking

471
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:47,800
after buildings. But giving us a reminder that if we can have a peek in, I think the smart thermostat

472
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:52,160
makes sense so that you don't have to traverse there every day. I mean, if you look at the temperature

473
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:59,920
changes over the last week, we went from, you know, above level to very below levels. So having

474
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:04,040
somebody have the ability without having to shovel to get there to change the temperature, makes

475
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:08,720
a ton of sense. And again, thank you for bringing it forward. It's appreciated. It helps us a great deal.

476
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:15,520
I'll make that motion, Mayor Dave, if you want to. I think you were looking at referred to staff.

477
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:24,520
Make sure that current business as usual is maintained. And then is there anything else you'd

478
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:30,520
like to add in at that on that? No, I think that's probably enough. Let's make it as broad as possible.

479
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:36,520
So that, again, allows you to keep doing what you're doing. Do you want me to keep letting you know who

480
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:42,520
is using it? Like, or who do I contact? Who's my contact? So will we, Amanda? Yeah, keep working through

481
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:47,520
and then turn email and everyone gets me just to, so we know what's all going on. I'm sure I do have

482
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:52,520
the real farmers doing a first aid course in February. I think they asked for two days there.

483
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:58,520
Love it. Okay. I'll send that for. I think Councillor Pickling was probably referencing an opportunity

484
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:03,520
when he mentioned Joanne and music called that there might be some scheduling assistance, but I mean, we'll leave that

485
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:08,520
to the report with staff to see how to best bring that for. Is that accurate? Councillor Pickler.

486
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:13,520
That's fair. Through through director Ferrell, would still make sense and especially when

487
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:20,520
we're considering the entire envelope. Yeah. But yes. Okay. So move by Willie

488
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:26,520
second and by Z. Good for that. And again, a fairly broad refer to staff, business as usual,

489
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:33,520
current rentals stand and any other new rentals run through Amanda, like just as an FYI,

490
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,520
and then we'll come up with a process. I think fairly quickly. We do a lot of this. So

491
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,520
let us help way more than I do. Thank you very much.

492
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,520
No problem. Todd has a point. Does that just need to state for a report to come back?

493
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:50,520
Yeah. Yeah. It was sort of worth a bit. Sure. Sure. If it was captured.

494
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,520
Yeah. Thank you, Councillor. Next. That was my intention. I didn't assign any date to it.

495
00:32:54,520 --> 00:33:00,520
But I would assume that time is somewhat of the essence if you're looking to schedule things

496
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:06,520
moving forward. But if we're allowing businesses as usual, I think that Amanda and

497
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:11,520
yourself can look after that in a timely fashion. Yeah. I mean, anything else you

498
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:16,520
want in the in the motion? Are you good? Okay. Sounds good? Okay. All right. All in favor?

499
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:21,520
Thank you. That's unanimous. Thank you so much. See you.

500
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:35,520
Okay. Next we have. Next we've got Ricky Brooks from Ontario Festival Group.

501
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:40,520
I think you're, I think I see you on screen, maybe? Yeah. Can you make Ricky bigger?

502
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:45,520
Okay. Go ahead, Ricky. Yeah. Sorry. Couldn't be there today.

503
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:50,520
Good morning. Can everybody hear me, okay?

504
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:56,520
So we can hear you. Yeah. You guys can hear me, okay? Yes.

505
00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:04,520
Good morning. Mayor Barton and members of Council. Thank you for the opportunity to speak today.

506
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:09,520
My name is Rick Brooks and I'm the president of Ontario Festival Group.

507
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:17,520
The producers of Uxbridge Ribfest. Uxbridge Ribfest is a family-friendly community festival that celebrates

508
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,520
free food, live music, and local pride.

509
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:29,520
While raising meaningful funds for local causes in 2025, the event raised $6,000 for local charities, including

510
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:34,520
$2,500, which we donated to the Uxbridge Hospital Foundation.

511
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:40,520
Building on that success, we are excited to bring back the third annual Uxbridge Ribfest,

512
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:48,520
taking place at Elgin Park scheduled for June 19, 2021 on Father's Day Weekend.

513
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:58,520
For 2026, we expect to welcome over 10,000 attendees, which would be a 30% increase from 2025.

514
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:03,520
And in 2024, we also saw an increase leading up to 2025.

515
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:10,520
So we're really happy to see that people are excited to see Rick Fest come back summer after summer.

516
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,520
And this year, we really expected to go even more.

517
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:21,520
We are proud to be working with local craft brewers, including Slaftown Brewery, and Second Wedge Brewery,

518
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:26,520
helping keep the economic impact local.

519
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:32,520
Fest features award winning rib teams, food vendors, live entertainment throughout the weekend,

520
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:37,520
a safe and well managed site with professional security and first aid,

521
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:43,520
responsible alcohol service and compliance with the AGCO and municipal requirements,

522
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:48,520
and clear operational planning aligned with all municipal standards.

523
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:54,520
Our team has a proven track record of delivering professionally run festivals across Ontario.

524
00:35:54,520 --> 00:36:02,520
We work closely with municipal staff, emergency services, and local stakeholders to ensure a safe, respectful,

525
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:09,520
and well organized event to take place at Elgin Park for residents and visitors from all over.

526
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,520
Oxbridge rib fest is designed to be a community positive event,

527
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,520
bringing families together, supporting local charities and local businesses,

528
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,520
and showcasing Oxbridge as the destination community.

529
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:28,520
Thank you, and I'm happy to answer any questions.

530
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,520
Yeah, Ricky, just a quick one from me first.

531
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:36,520
The 25th anniversary for the hospital, that you donated that in 2025,

532
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,520
is that to make up for something in the past?

533
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:45,520
In the past, we weren't able to donate because we didn't reach, you know, a level of profit.

534
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:49,520
And like we mentioned, we were waiting for the event to, you know, reach that level,

535
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:55,520
and in 2025, we were able to donate to the hospital, yes.

536
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,520
Okay, and we expect that number to grow moving forward.

537
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:02,520
Now that we've had established infrastructure, we've established a weekend,

538
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:10,520
and with the growth and numbers, we expect that number to grow.

539
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,520
I'm going to bring Courtney up to see if she has any questions for you.

540
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,520
I know there was some, this, oh, yeah, go ahead.

541
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,520
Will he first, and then we'll bring up Courtney?

542
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,520
Thank you, Mayor Dave, three years to Rick Rick.

543
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,520
Thank you for coming joining us online today on this.

544
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:31,520
I did have a question to similar to Mayor Dave's with regards to the 2500.

545
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:36,520
So he had mentioned $6,000 provided locally to charitable groups,

546
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:42,520
the remaining 3,500 who did that go to if you could share, please.

547
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:47,520
Went to Vaughn Rebels and Football Ontario.

548
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:54,520
So we had local football players from the York and Durham region come out to help balance here throughout the weekend.

549
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:58,520
And so we donated to their organizations as well.

550
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:04,520
So you're referencing local, York, Vaughn Rebels.

551
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,520
I guess you could justify that a bit.

552
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:11,520
Football Ontario is a little more of a province wide.

553
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:18,520
If you can, you know, if agreed to with this year, perhaps you can look at something a little more local,

554
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:25,520
councils pretty, and we appreciate, obviously, appreciate the slab town.

555
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,520
And second wedge, support for sure.

556
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,520
We love to keep as much as we can within our communities.

557
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,520
And I do know that football was a passion for you.

558
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:40,520
Oxford secondary school recently brought a new football team in, you know,

559
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:45,520
if you can look at to that as a possible one or something, again, something more local.

560
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:49,520
If approved, I think council would greatly appreciate that.

561
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,520
Thank you.

562
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,520
You're welcome enough. I can just add on that.

563
00:38:54,520 --> 00:39:00,520
We did have several players that live in Oxford, volunteer through football programs.

564
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:06,520
I know that Oxford hasn't had a football program until recently, which is great.

565
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:16,520
And we're trying to through York region programs and other football programs help develop and bring football back to the area.

566
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,520
We hope to be part of that expansion.

567
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,520
We did have over 30 football players over the weekend.

568
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,520
Some resided in Oxford.

569
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,520
Some live just outside the area.

570
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:33,520
But the ones that do live in Oxford have to drive outside the area to go find competitive football.

571
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:41,520
So I think through this partnership, we're able to help them drive the program and expand it more locally.

572
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:45,520
We do intend on working with the Uxbridge football program.

573
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,520
We're able to help them in the field.

574
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,520
There's still facing some growth challenges right now.

575
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:56,520
So hopefully this year, we could designate the football funds more to that high school football program.

576
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,520
Opposed to more regional.

577
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:03,520
And thank you for more clarity on the support for local area.

578
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,520
Football players are appreciated.

579
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,520
I didn't see any of that within your report.

580
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:11,520
So that's why meetings like this are important.

581
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,520
Okay. Go to Bruce. Go ahead.

582
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:14,520
Thanks, Ricky.

583
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:18,520
I'm just made a reference there to some of the football players of a volunteer in their time.

584
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:23,520
Are your donations contingent on participation of volunteers?

585
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:28,520
Through your worship.

586
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:29,520
Councillor.

587
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:36,520
It's not 100% contingent, but it definitely helps to make the events successful.

588
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:41,520
If we do have a number of volunteers, we wouldn't be able to run the event.

589
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,520
Like most festivals without a handful of volunteers.

590
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:51,520
So in our partnership talks with these organizations, they're aware that they provide a set

591
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:55,520
that out of volunteers per day and per shift.

592
00:40:55,520 --> 00:41:01,520
You know, whether they're going to be helping, you know, the general cleanup or helping in our kids area.

593
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:05,520
And it also provides them with community service hours.

594
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:09,520
It gives them life building skills to be a part of the festival.

595
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:15,520
So I think we found a really good winning recipe when it comes to partnering with local organizations

596
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,520
and then also providing us with volunteers.

597
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,520
I appreciate that.

598
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:24,520
A little concern of how that will work for our hospital foundation.

599
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,520
That's our number one priority project in town.

600
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:32,520
Again, this year, they only have a staff of three.

601
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:43,520
So it's going to be really challenging for them to provide volunteers in order to get a donation from this being hosted in our community.

602
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:52,520
So a little concern if it's contingent on their participation for you to support the hospital.

603
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:56,520
Bruce, just updated a second ago.

604
00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:00,520
Hospital foundation do not want to be associated with this event again.

605
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,520
Oh, I see. Okay.

606
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,520
Yeah, because I think there was some challenges with the use of the logo in the past, so like that.

607
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,520
Yeah, so again, just Ricky.

608
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:21,520
I've heard several concerns from community groups from our internal staff about how interactions went with your group.

609
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:26,520
A little bit concerned before we step into another year of this.

610
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:34,520
I'm going to want to hear from our staff in a report on whether this makes sense for Uxperger not.

611
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,520
We.

612
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:44,520
We want to make we we like we love that their community events happening in our in Algan Park.

613
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:50,520
We just want to make sure it's it's a benefit to the community and you know, we love we love football.

614
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,520
We love Uxperger Tigers football.

615
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,520
So getting 30 people from.

616
00:42:56,520 --> 00:43:04,520
From across York and Durham region as volunteers and then giving them $100 each to to to work for the weekend.

617
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:09,520
I don't know if that to me if that.

618
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,520
Is huge community benefit or not.

619
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:16,520
Anyway, first go ahead.

620
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:21,520
So any any other questions.

621
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:26,520
Um, quarter, you okay if we give you a a refer to staff on this.

622
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:27,520
Yep, that works.

623
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:28,520
I did.

624
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,520
Yeah, I got some notes from last year.

625
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:36,520
We always follow up with events on internally just to make sure how it went and how much time we invested in events.

626
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:41,520
So I have all that information and I could put it in a report and send it back to council.

627
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,520
I think that's probably the best with with the recommendation.

628
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:49,520
So with the recommendation on whether this makes sense for Uxperger not sounds good.

629
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,520
And do you want to get want to give me that to refer this back.

630
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:56,520
I'll I'll give you that motion and if you'll allow a friendly Mr. Mayor.

631
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:01,520
Um, through you to to Courtney just a piece around everything that is happening that weekend.

632
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,520
I know another piece was.

633
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:11,520
Um, other scheduled events that that are quite important to experts like Springtide looks like those two do not overlap this weekend.

634
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,520
But just being mindful of congestion and other opportunities.

635
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:22,520
So if we could confirm with maybe Joanne and Joanne or whoever would be on everything that's happening around that weekend.

636
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:23,520
Okay.

637
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:24,520
Yeah, that makes sense.

638
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:33,520
Including BIA events and you'll anything else that is highlighting really our local businesses, especially this year.

639
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,520
You look like you want to say something.

640
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,520
Oh, sorry.

641
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:38,520
Thank you, Mayor Dave.

642
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:42,520
Just looking for I guess this one's through you to you.

643
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,520
That that was funny.

644
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:55,520
With regards to Courtney's report, are you expecting feedback through away from Courtney or are you looking for an action between ripfest and Courtney as well?

645
00:44:55,520 --> 00:45:00,520
Just trying to set the table for, you know, a well rounded report.

646
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:20,000
What were your thoughts? I think we will leave that up to staff on whether they have questions for, for, um, just second Ontario, Ontario events, a festival group. So just, if they have, if they need clarification, then that works too. Great. Thank you.

647
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:28,000
And then, first, you know, just one last one and look to the my colleagues that are on the BIA and with Councillor Pickler and I beside me.

648
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:36,000
I love the idea of drawing in hundreds of people in the town, not so happy about drawing them out of our local restaurants.

649
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:45,000
So I'm just thinking as part of your report court maybe check in with the BIA members or council members who are most appropriate just to get their sense.

650
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:53,000
I may be reading too much into it or it could empty the restaurants. I'm not sure, but I think it'd be nice to include them in that discussion.

651
00:45:53,000 --> 00:46:01,000
I agree 100%. If, uh, if, as part of the refer to staff, if we could have a comment from the BIA, that'd be good.

652
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:08,000
We can walk that on to our evening agenda tonight. I'll go do that. Okay. Sounds good. Go ahead.

653
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:20,000
Just in, in interest of Mr. Brooks, he's going to want to get a good idea of where things are at. Do we have a timeline on when we can expect to have a staff report come back on the opportunity?

654
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:32,000
Court 30 days is that I know you like a few weeks. So just because I have to touch base with other departments and get the information to gather it all together a few weeks would probably be necessary.

655
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:44,000
And your title is also public works, right? You guys busy right now? Pretty busy. Fair enough. Okay. So I think that's pretty clear. Ricky, that's clear to you.

656
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:56,000
Yeah, that's fine. Okay. Thank you. All in favor of that motion. Oh, so moved by Willie second and by Z. Okay. All in favor? That's Karen. Thank you very much.

657
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,000
Thank you. All right. Next. We are.

658
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:12,000
We have minutes from January the 13th. Can I get the move for that? Is that Todd? Okay. All in favor? That's Karen.

659
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:16,000
Next, we've got some correspondence. Do we want to link any of these?

660
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:28,000
Oh, glad. Oh, we take it. Meredith. So these are the type of correspondents that sometimes they don't have a lot of connection to the course of business here in Township, Oxford.

661
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:34,000
I'd like to see them packaged up in the future, or maybe a council information package, and then if anybody's interested, you could pull individuals.

662
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:42,000
We're not quite there yet, so if if everybody's comfortable, I would move to receive a 1, 8, 2, and 8, 3.

663
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:50,000
Anyone want to second that? Is that a good to second? Any questions or comments on any of those? Okay. On favor? That's Karen.

664
00:47:50,000 --> 00:48:01,000
Let's go with 8.4. This is from an amazing member of our Oxford Scouts. She had me speak to one of our classrooms as part of a class project.

665
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:07,000
Just a really interesting individual with so much passion. What would you like to do with us?

666
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,000
Go ahead. Thank you, Meredith.

667
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:17,000
Myself, Jamie Miller, with Parks, and Colleen Bask, and I've been working with Scouts and Keyon on this for some time now.

668
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:28,000
And they come to us annually with regards to their jamboree. So they do a little bit of a hike. They end up a different level of different distances for different groups.

669
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:44,000
The Scouts come to us, usually with this ask in advance. So this is similar that way. Keyon is doing this because she's also looking right now to quite an achievement that she's trying to make, and that's the King's Ventura Award.

670
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:55,000
So she's a very, as you're aware, a very promising young individual, very focused and driven mature beyond her years and a pleasure to work with.

671
00:48:55,000 --> 00:49:05,000
With that in mind, I'd like to support and principal have her continue to work with staff and receive her, obviously, receive her correspondence.

672
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:13,000
She would have liked to have been here today. She probably still could have been given I'm guessing the school was probably close, but she did have an exam that conflicted with this timeline.

673
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:19,000
So she wanted to come and present but was unable to to two other commitments.

674
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:24,000
Okay. That sounds good.

675
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:31,000
Right. So with that, we don't need to report back.

676
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:39,000
I don't think so. It's, you know, they have done the jamboree annually. They're just looking for permission to, you know, as usual use,

677
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:49,000
township property, including Elgin Park. So that's what they're just coming in to make sure that council blesses this moving forward and that we're okay with them doing this.

678
00:49:49,000 --> 00:50:01,000
It's not, you know, and sometimes it's hopeful that, you know, scouts get a little bit of support through the media that they continue to be great supporters of our community and builders of future leaders within the township.

679
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:12,000
I love it. I just, just in case they want to have a campfire, can you also add that to your motion that that we, we permit that through Park staff as long as it's approved.

680
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:22,000
And then just before we go further, just huge thank you to all the leaders, including Craig Marladers, well, you obviously the most visible one that we see.

681
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:30,000
The guy is amazing. He steps up in huge ways whether it's with the park or with his programs at the high school or with was remembered today.

682
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:36,000
Just show to Craig for what he does for our community, and especially with some of the young scouts.

683
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:43,000
And, and to your point, Mayor Dave, focusing forward in February, there is a youth event, though, that will take place at Uxbridge Secondary School.

684
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:50,000
And, you know, they continue to, to bring our, you know, our youth forward in great ways. So 100% agree with you.

685
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:53,000
Okay, you're, you're good with the friendly. Absolutely.

686
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:58,000
And your seconder. Who is the seconder? That is happy with the, that as well. Okay. On forever.

687
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,000
That's carried. Thank you very much.

688
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:15,000
All right. Next we are into 11.1. This is AC 0126 from Hillary. Hillary is out on the road today. So she can't be here to take questions, but are there any?

689
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:19,000
And we can direct them to probably Christie.

690
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:30,000
Oh, yeah, go ahead, Todd. Yeah, just one question, but comment first, just great to see a $25,000 revenue increase from the previous year.

691
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:34,000
Within this section of the organizations. That's great.

692
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:38,000
I just had a quick question in regards to the sale of the dog tags.

693
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:45,000
It's indicating that Skugog sold more in 2025 than in 2024. However, the revenue is less.

694
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:53,000
So I, I just wasn't wondering how that could be. Is there different price based on the type of dog? I didn't think it was.

695
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:56,000
Great question. Councilor Snowx. I would have to take that back.

696
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,000
It might just be a quick type of error.

697
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:01,000
Could be. Yeah.

698
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:02,000
Okay.

699
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:03,000
First, go ahead.

700
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:13,000
Thanks, Verde. I think I'll just repeat a comment that I've made in the past that Skugog has had 35% more dogs than Oxbridge.

701
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:16,000
More than 100% more cats than Oxbridge.

702
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:22,000
Lower dog tag sales to Councilor Snowx's point a second ago.

703
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,000
I yet the cost share remains 50, 50.

704
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:28,000
I know some of you are looking at me going. Yeah, we know, Verde.

705
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,000
She brought this up before because it continues to happen.

706
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:37,000
So there's more to it. I get it. There's patrol hours in there. I'm not trying to make this to one sided.

707
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:41,000
I'm, I'll make the motion to receive the report.

708
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:46,000
But I will say I'm going to have a discussion with clerk in the room to say,

709
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:51,000
as we go into the agreement for the new shelter, is this the proper agreement?

710
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,000
Should it continue to be 50, 50?

711
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:59,000
And should we be looking at other ways of dividing up those costs?

712
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:03,000
It just does not seem, continues to not seem balanced to me.

713
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,000
I think a discussion worth having internally as well.

714
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:12,000
Yeah, I agree. I don't think it's going to be done by thinking it should probably go to Christie.

715
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,000
That's fine. It's just a discussion at this point.

716
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:18,000
So I'm happy to have it with Christie and to see just what makes sense.

717
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:22,000
I'm not a conference specific action yet. Just want to generate that conversation.

718
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,000
Especially as we're going into this, this other project, right?

719
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,000
So just to make sure it's fair and long term.

720
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:29,000
Pam, go ahead.

721
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:34,000
I agree with Bruce, as I was reading, I'm going, this is happening year after year.

722
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:44,000
We're all the numbers, you know, like our costs aren't as much as what the costs would be going to them.

723
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:50,000
It just seems in balance, like Bruce said, so it's worth a good discussion.

724
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,000
I agree, 100%. Oh, go ahead.

725
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:56,000
Thank you, Mayor Dave. I'll triple down on it.

726
00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:00,000
I think it's always positive to re-evaluate your partnerships after a period of time,

727
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:04,000
especially when we're going into a new bill of facility that

728
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:07,000
not gunwood should be opening up near the end of this year.

729
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:11,000
We definitely want to make sure our partnerships are equitable for group groups.

730
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,000
And I think it's positive.

731
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:18,000
The slant might raise an eyebrow, but I think we're looking at it in totality.

732
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:23,000
So just the fact that we're looking at, you know, in equity and animals being serviced.

733
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:27,000
I think we can look at it from the top down first and just say this is, you know,

734
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,000
let's look at the report.

735
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:33,000
I mean, because it is also largely our staff that are managing it on their behalf.

736
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:38,000
I think it's worthwhile to understand this moving forward.

737
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:41,000
So it's a healthy exercise.

738
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,000
Okay, we have a comment from Deborah.

739
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:44,000
Go ahead, Deb.

740
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,000
Through you, Mayor Dave.

741
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,000
Just a clarification.

742
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:52,000
And I can appreciate the comments received by Council and certainly that's something we can look at.

743
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:55,000
But I just wanted to provide clarification in terms,

744
00:54:55,000 --> 00:55:00,000
because there was a mention of the dog-tag licenses being down for Skugog.

745
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,000
That's no reflection on the budget.

746
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,000
The dog-tag license sales are completely separate.

747
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:12,000
So just as a note and clarification on that, that would not impact us one way or the other

748
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:15,000
in terms of the dog's tag sales.

749
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:20,000
So that part of the revenue is not shared between the municipalities.

750
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:21,000
That's correct.

751
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:22,000
Okay.

752
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:23,000
Thanks.

753
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:24,000
Is that clear?

754
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:25,000
Just another thing to it.

755
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:32,000
I mean, there might be an opportunity for improvement or continuous improvement.

756
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:36,000
Given that we manage our building and our animal control,

757
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:40,000
I think we probably get a lot more out to the community than perhaps there's does.

758
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:46,000
So that might be one of the pieces we look to as well as an opportunity for improvement to make sure.

759
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:53,000
And that might also be why, you know, potentially some of the dog tags or lesson is that it's not as much

760
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,000
of a community awareness.

761
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,000
So something to consider.

762
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:58,000
Yeah.

763
00:55:58,000 --> 00:55:59,000
Thanks for that.

764
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:00,000
Any.

765
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:05,000
So Bruce has a motion seconded by Pam.

766
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:09,000
I think I think you don't need any other friendlies and that you're good.

767
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:10,000
Okay.

768
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,000
All in favor of Bruce's motion.

769
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,000
That is carried.

770
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:15,000
Okay.

771
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:16,000
Next we are.

772
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:20,000
11.2 BL0126 from Hillary.

773
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:25,000
This is just in general by law.

774
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,000
What would you like to do with this one?

775
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,000
Oh, sorry.

776
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:29,000
Well, I go ahead.

777
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:30,000
No problem, Mary Dave.

778
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:35,000
It came up last time we had this, but we kind of bundled a few pieces together on one.

779
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:38,000
Hillary provided a similar report.

780
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:42,000
And what I wanted to say was, what a phenomenal clearing rate.

781
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,000
Like if you look at that, there's with all of that they're doing.

782
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,000
And the fact that they're still able to closely.

783
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:52,000
So Kudos to Hillary and and obviously leadership from CAO honey.

784
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:55,000
But this is, you know, and Scott and the team.

785
00:56:55,000 --> 00:57:00,000
This is a remarkable number that they're clearing as well as balancing out.

786
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,000
Especially when we look at what we're doing for improvement.

787
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,000
Trying to get, you know, the.

788
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:10,000
The provincial offenses more looked after here.

789
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,000
Kudos to by law.

790
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:16,000
If there's not further comments, I'll give a motion to support the recommendation.

791
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:17,000
Sounds good.

792
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:18,000
Pam's going to second.

793
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:19,000
Any questions or comments?

794
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:20,000
Good.

795
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,000
Again, again, just a really quick one.

796
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:25,000
They did highlight the number.

797
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:28,000
Very high number in May for the sign by laws.

798
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:34,000
Was there something specific in May that caused that 107 complaints?

799
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,000
I don't know.

800
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:37,000
No.

801
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:40,000
No, that would have been after.

802
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:44,000
It just seemed like it was it was a substantial number for one month.

803
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:48,000
Yeah, I wonder if it's those it might be those.

804
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,000
Oh, like all those all those.

805
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,000
Plastic lawn signs.

806
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:53,000
Yeah.

807
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:54,000
Which.

808
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:55,000
Some of the conditions.

809
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:56,000
Yeah.

810
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,000
I think they may have been ranging from my office and maybe others.

811
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:00,000
About how.

812
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,000
We need to make sure that those.

813
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,000
Those become contagious right when they're left up for a while.

814
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,000
It becomes an inexpensive marketing piece.

815
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,000
So I think there's a few members of council that.

816
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:13,000
To get a little aggressive with that sometimes and maybe that.

817
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,000
So may have been a blitz from our by law during that month.

818
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:17,000
Okay.

819
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:18,000
Wouldn't surprise me.

820
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:19,000
Okay.

821
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,000
Okay.

822
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,000
But if you want.

823
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,000
Christie, can you do want to send that note or.

824
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:29,000
To and just see if what that blip was.

825
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,000
I wouldn't be surprised.

826
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:32,000
Okay.

827
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:33,000
All right.

828
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:34,000
So we have a motion on the floor.

829
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,000
On favor.

830
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:37,000
That is caring.

831
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:38,000
Thank you.

832
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:39,000
Okay.

833
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:40,000
Next for 11.3.

834
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,000
I think we've done this already.

835
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:43,000
Oh, no, we haven't.

836
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:44,000
11.3.

837
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:48,000
This is CAO 0 to 26 from Christie.

838
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,000
I'm going to let you speak to it if that's okay.

839
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,000
I'm putting you on the spot.

840
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:53,000
I hope that's all right.

841
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:54,000
No, that's fine.

842
00:58:54,000 --> 00:59:01,000
So this is the recommendations from our integrity commissioner with regards to the.

843
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:09,000
Training motion provided by council as an outcome to the November presentation by our integrity commissioner.

844
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:16,000
They'd recommended all council training in order to be mindful of our dollars.

845
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:25,000
I'm suggesting that we embedded into our orientation training after the next election and that the integrity commissioner.

846
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:29,000
Meet one on one with councilor's next.

847
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:30,000
Yeah.

848
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:32,000
Any questions or comments on that motion?

849
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:35,000
I'm sorry on that report.

850
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:38,000
Any recommendations?

851
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,000
So I want to move their recommendations.

852
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:45,000
Okay.

853
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:50,000
So we'll, we'll, we'll by, we'll by court seconded by Bruce.

854
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:51,000
Okay.

855
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:54,000
Thank you.

856
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,000
Thank you for doing this.

857
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:57,000
I'm sorry.

858
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,000
What's the cost of that again?

859
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,000
So I just.

860
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:08,000
Over 1700. And that's 70%. If the commissioner does one for council, or does one with council structure?

861
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:23,000
So it'll be 3,500 in total. So 17, just over 17, for the one on one. And then they'll embed it into the orientation, which will be again, an additional 17, I think, 17, five. I don't have the report in front of you, but.

862
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:28,000
Okay. And so, and what's the total, do you know the total cost then for this so far?

863
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:34,000
I would have to get back to you on that. Okay. But we have budget.

864
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:43,000
We will use our council orientation budget and the training budget out of the corporate, the corporate budget.

865
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:46,000
Okay. Any additional questions or comments?

866
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,000
Okay.

867
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:55,000
Just I guess this one might be, I think, depth online. It's through you to depth. So is this.

868
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,000
I guess the orientation one would be a public meeting.

869
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:02,000
Or is it a private? I think before we did a private education session.

870
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:07,000
Yeah. So, but I think I'm just trying to remember. I think in the past it was private.

871
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:10,000
Or closed door or I just can't remember.

872
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:19,000
Yeah. It's typically when we get into this kind of training. You may recall. We shared the last one with.

873
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,000
Brock township as well.

874
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:26,000
When we did the integrity commissioner training. So typically it is a close session.

875
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:27,000
Yes.

876
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,000
Great. Thank you.

877
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:30,000
All right.

878
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:33,000
Any additional questions or comments?

879
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:37,000
All in favor of the motion. Okay. That's carried. Thank you.

880
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:42,000
Okay. Next, we are 11.4, which we've already done. We're 11.5.

881
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:50,000
This is from Councillor Garrett about our participation at Roma.

882
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:55,000
No, first. Thanks for doing it. Appreciate you highlighting it.

883
01:01:55,000 --> 01:02:01,000
I'll do one more for Amo that I'll pass the torch and someone else can do these if you want to continue to do it.

884
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:03,000
Okay. Sounds good.

885
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:06,000
Can we get a motion on this?

886
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:10,000
Okay.

887
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,000
Seconded by guard.

888
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:16,000
Just while we're doing this, thanks to our communications team.

889
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:21,000
It is an enormous amount of work to build the presentation material for this.

890
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:32,000
It's an enormous amount of work to coordinate sort of what's in my head and the heads of council on what we want to communicate.

891
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:35,000
Get the delegations, communicate back and forth with them.

892
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,000
Our team are amazing.

893
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:40,000
And again, well, we're all running in a thousand miles an hour.

894
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:43,000
They have to think, you know, two months out for these.

895
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:45,000
And what we want to talk about in two months.

896
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:47,000
So thanks to the team for doing that. We appreciate it.

897
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,000
And thanks for those who participate.

898
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:50,000
Okay.

899
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,000
And we have a mover and a seconder.

900
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:53,000
All in favor.

901
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:55,000
That's carried. Thank you.

902
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:57,000
Okay. Next, we're 11.6.

903
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:07,000
This is from Councillor Schrieve and Bill Reiner about gravel conversion.

904
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:09,000
Yeah, go ahead.

905
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:13,000
What do we like, Gordon, speak to at first?

906
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:14,000
Yeah, thank you, Mayor.

907
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:21,000
Yeah, and working very closely with Bill and public works.

908
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:26,000
And looking at what would be the best use of resources for the coming three years in terms of

909
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,000
the gravel conversions.

910
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:31,000
So I have a pretty good idea as I travel throughout the war

911
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:34,000
It has to, what the condition of the roads are.

912
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:37,000
The use, the use of the roads and those kind of things.

913
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:42,000
And so in this case, the completion of the raven shoe or the fifth

914
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:49,000
Concession south of raven shoe will, will tie in with the, let's see

915
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:53,000
There are 20 or so houses south on the paved section of the road.

916
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,000
This will complete the project.

917
01:03:55,000 --> 01:04:00,000
So the residents traveling to and from their homes will have a, have a safer road

918
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:02,000
in a hard surface over three years.

919
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:06,000
That's just a little bit about that in the same process with Myers Road.

920
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:14,000
Just, just a question with, with hard surface between two regional roads,

921
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,000
we might run into traffic issues.

922
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,000
Are you prepared for that?

923
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:22,000
Just with like a significant increase in traffic?

924
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:27,000
So do you guys have any comments on that?

925
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:32,000
Because I think we do have a lot of residents from the area saying that they want one

926
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:33,000
That as well.

927
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:34,000
Okay.

928
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:35,000
Fair enough.

929
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:39,000
Just with that, with every move, there's another reaction.

930
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:40,000
Go ahead.

931
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:44,000
That is a good observation that the region is going to be working on zephyr road.

932
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:49,000
So kind of bringing these two roads up to hard surface standards

933
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:54,000
As soon as we can, would be beneficial because we all know people will always

934
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:57,000
Take the shortest cut around the closure.

935
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:02,000
Myers Road and the fifth will probably see the most traffic from that.

936
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:07,000
So we are going to have to work around the extra traffic when we're laying the gravel.

937
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:11,000
But I think it's going to be very beneficial at the end of the day.

938
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:12,000
Okay.

939
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:14,000
I just wanted to highlight that one piece.

940
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:15,000
That's all.

941
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:16,000
Will it go ahead?

942
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:17,000
Yeah.

943
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:18,000
Thank you.

944
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:21,000
I'm just going to say, and that's a good point in a great ask.

945
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:27,000
I wouldn't, whenever possible, we've done a good job here through Ben Caster prior.

946
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:30,000
Now through Courtney and Bill, Bill, you were part of both of them.

947
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:34,000
They've done a good job of when roads are being done regionally.

948
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:41,000
We've made the repairs to our roads quicker so that they're not broken up when all of a sudden traffic is

949
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,000
Deverted to other locations.

950
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,000
So this is a great one in Councillor Schrieve.

951
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:49,000
You've done a good job of communicating and reading your residence well.

952
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,000
So thank you to staff for doing this.

953
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:57,000
Obviously there's a financial benefit in the future when we heard surface that they're easier to manage.

954
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:02,000
So, you know, as the chair, I applied to all involved on this for making it happen.

955
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:05,000
As well as, you know, a potential watch.

956
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:13,000
So as you look at your residence in the future, you can, you know, specifically say this is one consideration that you have to look at.

957
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:18,000
Bill, just just a thought on that, especially on the fifth.

958
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:25,000
Depending on when that closure hits for Zephyr on the bridge, how quickly can we get gravel down?

959
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:28,000
So it's just not as soupy a mess there.

960
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,000
It's a pretty low lying area on the fifth there.

961
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:37,000
Once we know that we're going to do this switch, the tender's ready to go out.

962
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:41,000
So we can get on this just after we do our spring gradient.

963
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,000
Okay, I think that might make sense.

964
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:46,000
Just to get it done as soon as possible.

965
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:49,000
Instead of sometimes we wait a little longer in the air.

966
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:53,000
So this might be a thing to get ahead just to save huge grading issues.

967
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:57,000
I know the least I wrote piece when we were doing the seventh.

968
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:00,000
So.

969
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,000
Thank you.

970
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:05,000
Gordon, thank you for owning this.

971
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:08,000
From a.

972
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:13,000
With the movement you know you you thanks for that and.

973
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:16,000
Move by Gordon second by Willie.

974
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:18,000
Okay.

975
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,000
Okay, fair enough.

976
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:21,000
All right.

977
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:23,000
Any questions or comments on favor.

978
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:24,000
That's carried.

979
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:25,000
Thank you very much.

980
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:26,000
Great.

981
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:32,000
Next we are 11.7 CL0166 from Deb in regards to.

982
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:38,000
Oh, lame doc council.

983
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:41,000
Yeah, do you want to move it?

984
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:42,000
Okay.

985
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:46,000
It gives Christy the ability to do.

986
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:49,000
Anything we need to do during that lame duck period.

987
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:52,000
We were bitten by that with the old council and the cover.

988
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:53,000
Right.

989
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:54,000
So things got to move forward.

990
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:55,000
Yeah.

991
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:58,000
So like that was that's one of the reasons why it was very tricky.

992
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,000
And we probably lost.

993
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:04,000
Four or five months of the color project because of that.

994
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,000
Okay.

995
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:07,000
Okay.

996
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:08,000
All in favor.

997
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:09,000
That's carried.

998
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:10,000
Thank you.

999
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:11,000
Okay.

1000
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:14,000
Next we've got by loss.

1001
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:15,000
Go ahead.

1002
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:19,000
By loss requiring three readings of January 2626.

1003
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,000
First reading and second reading moved by myself.

1004
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:22,000
Consular Todd Snooks.

1005
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:23,000
Seconded by council.

1006
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:26,000
There is a pickering that leave be granted to introduce by.

1007
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:31,000
The number is 26 dash is zero zero five through to an including zero zero seven.

1008
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:34,000
And the same be read at first and second time.

1009
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:35,000
All in favor.

1010
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:38,000
First and second reading leave be granted for third.

1011
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,000
Third reading moved by myself.

1012
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:41,000
Councilor Todd Snook.

1013
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:42,000
Seconded by councilor Z.

1014
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:47,000
Pickering at by loss number 2026 dash zero zero five through to an including zero zero seven.

1015
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:48,000
Be now read a third time.

1016
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:51,000
Finally passed in the Marin Clark duly sign and seal saying.

1017
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:52,000
All in favor.

1018
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:54,000
That is carried.

1019
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:57,000
Next let's jump to unfinished business.

1020
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:59,000
You got an unfinished go ahead.

1021
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:00,000
Yes, surprise.

1022
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:02,000
No sorry to other.

1023
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:03,000
Oh.

1024
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:04,000
It's a matter.

1025
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:07,000
So we'll do we have one on the agenda for other.

1026
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:08,000
Okay.

1027
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:10,000
So that's to the other business that's documented.

1028
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:11,000
It's.

1029
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:14,000
14.1 from the environment and.

1030
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:17,000
And sustainability advisory committee.

1031
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:20,000
There report there 2025 report to council.

1032
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:30,000
Would you like to thank the committee for all of their efforts and.

1033
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:31,000
And for some of them.

1034
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:37,000
You know, when I think of some of the things they did like the brick never sleeps and the environmental awards.

1035
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:47,000
That really on track with those kind of things and so I appreciate all of their interest in the detail that they've got into the report.

1036
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:48,000
Is a appreciate it.

1037
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:49,000
Thank you for that.

1038
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:55,000
You could make the motion to receive and what do you want to do with it?

1039
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:59,000
I think we just need to make motion to receive it, right?

1040
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:09,000
How would it receive and a letter from you, maybe, as Chair, just to thank them for their report?

1041
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:10,000
Is that okay?

1042
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,000
Sure, happy to do that.

1043
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,000
Okay, Pam, you're good to second.

1044
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:15,000
Okay.

1045
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:20,000
Would there be a comms piece that we could promote these achievements through the communications officer?

1046
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:23,000
Why don't we also refer to comms to see if they want to do something with it?

1047
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:24,000
Is that okay?

1048
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:25,000
Good.

1049
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:26,000
All right.

1050
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:27,000
Happy with that, Friendly.

1051
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:28,000
Both of you?

1052
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:29,000
Yes.

1053
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:30,000
Okay.

1054
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:31,000
All right.

1055
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:32,000
All in favor?

1056
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:33,000
That is carried.

1057
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:34,000
Thank you.

1058
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:35,000
All right.

1059
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:37,000
Any other other business?

1060
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:38,000
I do.

1061
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:40,000
How do you know where they?

1062
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:46,000
A personal highlight while we're at Romo was the province naming the township of Luxembourg

1063
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:48,000
and H Friendly Community.

1064
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:53,000
One of only 15% of the communities throughout Luxembourg,

1065
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:57,000
but without throughout the province rather, out of 444.

1066
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:59,000
So pretty excited about that.

1067
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:04,000
I was thrilled that David Richardson, who was one of the founding members of H Friendly

1068
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,000
and Kathy Thulo, who is the current Chair of H Friendly,

1069
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:09,000
who was the only one to come down and join the celebration.

1070
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:14,000
And it was a fun event and nice that those efforts, especially David who was

1071
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:19,000
carried us through this for seven years now is quite an accomplishment

1072
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,000
and just thrilled that he was able to participate.

1073
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:26,000
Some of you may have seen when the province declares communities

1074
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:32,000
silver award winners for gardening, or whatever the provincial award is.

1075
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:35,000
They'll put up signs at their welcome signs.

1076
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:42,000
So, with Council's permission, what I'd like to do is have some signs installed temporarily

1077
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:43,760
at, I'll just say, the four corners.

1078
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:49,720
So, four of the entrances, typically we slide in core-class signs, I'd love to do permanent

1079
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:55,040
ones, but they're $4,000 each, according to the estimates of just two expensive in this

1080
01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:56,040
environment.

1081
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:59,520
So, she's volunteered to create the signs.

1082
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:03,560
They would slide in like they would for the fall fair or other events that are taking place.

1083
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:08,120
They'd be temporary, go, they would go up when there's a slot available and come down when

1084
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:11,400
there's not, and probably go back up again another day.

1085
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:17,520
Those signs, she's estimating, is $1,200 each, probably on the low end of that.

1086
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:23,000
And if Council's okay with it, I'd recommend we've got a Council initiative's budget, so

1087
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:29,240
we would take the $4,800 out of that to have it go forward.

1088
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:31,520
I would make a motion to do that.

1089
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:39,500
I've connected to Pam's, and she's the lead on the age-friendly committee now to get her

1090
01:12:39,500 --> 01:12:41,960
to second it, and welcome to take any questions.

1091
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:46,680
Oh, go ahead, Todd.

1092
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:52,080
Just a quick one through to Regent Counselor, June is senior for month, is maybe that a good time

1093
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:53,080
for it to go in, specifically?

1094
01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:57,760
Yeah, I think if we can get them up, that'd be a great idea, sure, we could do that.

1095
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:02,800
I don't think they'll take long to put up, but the only thing just rethinking at Council

1096
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:08,920
or something is celebrations, tight, timelyness, is of the essence.

1097
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:15,280
So let's just see how fast court can get them created, maybe we'll get something up, and then

1098
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:18,480
you can always redo these things again as part of the tune, so we could do that as well.

1099
01:13:18,480 --> 01:13:20,480
That might be a better way to go if you're okay with that.

1100
01:13:20,480 --> 01:13:21,480
Okay.

1101
01:13:21,480 --> 01:13:22,480
Just so I mention that.

1102
01:13:22,480 --> 01:13:23,480
Thank you.

1103
01:13:23,480 --> 01:13:27,360
All right, so we have a motion to floor.

1104
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:29,520
All in favor?

1105
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:30,080
That's carried.

1106
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:31,680
Thank you very much.

1107
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:33,680
All right, is there any other other business?

1108
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:34,840
Will it go ahead?

1109
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:39,000
It's funny, I guess, we're all reminiscing about Roma.

1110
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:46,240
Councillor Pickering and I had an open moment on lunch where we attended a lunch and

1111
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:52,360
learn around emergency preparedness, specifically around, you know, the hydro side of things.

1112
01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:57,320
And Mayor Dave, you've been very close to emergency preparedness with the minister in that

1113
01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:58,320
area.

1114
01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:03,360
But I thought it was interesting because we often get calls as soon as power goes off what's

1115
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:05,800
going on and what's the timelines.

1116
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:09,040
So I thought I would share just as I thought it was helpful.

1117
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:16,120
The first one that goes out is typically how long an outage would take given what's wrong at

1118
01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:17,400
this point in time.

1119
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:20,200
So that's the first one you get within the first hour or so.

1120
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:25,920
The other thing that they said that was interesting was one woman waited like a day before

1121
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:27,120
she called in.

1122
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:33,520
So the hydro companies don't know necessarily when there is an outage specifically at times.

1123
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:37,160
So you should always call in when you have an outage or at least check the website to see

1124
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:39,520
for your area what's going on.

1125
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:45,000
So jumping back to the first one, the first one is an estimated time of repair to whatever's

1126
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:46,000
going on.

1127
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:48,760
The second one is there's boots on the ground.

1128
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:53,880
This is what's going on in the area and this is the real potential timeline for then

1129
01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:55,640
when that should be repaired.

1130
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:59,640
So as counselors I thought it was worthwhile to bring it back here, share with you all.

1131
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:04,760
That this is what they are as it goes out, because we often get these calls around what's happening

1132
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:09,000
with our, with our electricity when we do have that unfortunate incident.

1133
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:10,000
Yeah.

1134
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:13,000
Thanks for that.

1135
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:14,000
Go ahead, Pam.

1136
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:21,120
I think most residents, excuse me, most residents should have that app for Hydro-Wunner, whichever

1137
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:29,960
Hydro-Services app, excuse me, but I find it vital, because they know that they

1138
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:36,960
will find me, you know, if it's back on, if it's not, let them know again, you know,

1139
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:41,960
it's such a useful tool and we should all be using it.

1140
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:42,960
Thank you.

1141
01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:44,960
Okay.

1142
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:53,960
Any other other business? Any questions for the press? Mr. Verley, go ahead, sir.

1143
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:55,960
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

1144
01:15:56,960 --> 01:16:01,960
I'm not sure if this question will be allowed, but I was wondering if Courtney could provide

1145
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:09,960
any interesting statistics regarding snow in Oxford's this year and the snow removal.

1146
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:14,960
Have we had any records, right, and like that?

1147
01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:22,960
Court is maybe on, but Court, do you want to provide Roger, would you mind if we, if we prepared

1148
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:28,960
something that like with some stats or something, is that what you want?

1149
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:31,960
Oh, absolutely.

1150
01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:39,960
I just have this feeling that the township has probably cleared more, more kilometres of road

1151
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:41,960
this winter than they have in the past.

1152
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:44,960
I don't know where you're putting the snow.

1153
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:50,960
There must be some kind of records here, I'm quite sure, but I'm sure the residents of the township

1154
01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:53,960
would like to know just what they've been under last couple of months.

1155
01:16:53,960 --> 01:16:58,960
Well, yeah, and especially when you think of the, get it, wasn't only snow, right?

1156
01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:00,960
You think of all the ice.

1157
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:05,960
So I think the best gauge of our winter performance would be year to date hours.

1158
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:10,960
That might be year to date hours of service might be the best one.

1159
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:12,960
But how about this?

1160
01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:17,960
We'll get something out to you through comms in the next.

1161
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:20,960
They're busy right now, maybe the next 24 hours.

1162
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:22,960
Does that give you enough time?

1163
01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:25,960
24 hours that, that should work.

1164
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:26,960
Okay.

1165
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:27,960
