[0:01] We're
>> talking
[0:28] in the spirit of writing. consation. We
acknowledge the land upon which our
[0:31] organization stands as unseated Mikma
territory and PEI Mika is covered by the
[0:37] historic treaties of peace and
friendship. We pay our respects to the
[0:40] indigenous Mika people who have occupied
this island for over 12,000 years past,
[0:45] present, and future.
>> Declarations of conflict and interest.
[0:54] Well, um I don't have it. But on this
one, if we're going to discuss the
[0:57] snowmobile, I think the current one is
snow.
[1:04] » Is that on the agenda?
>> Yes. I think Ann might want to excuse
[1:08] herself from that since the current one
was from her. And the new one is also
[1:12] from her family.
>> It's from my sister, but if you're
[1:15] discussing purchasing a new one,
>> yes, you have things to say.
[1:21] » I don't have things to say about it.
[1:25] Okay.
>> Approval of agenda.
[1:30] » So approve
agenda, please.
[1:39] » All
[1:47] here.
[2:02] Um, we were supposed Well, we need to
approve the minutes first.
[2:06] » Yeah,
[2:10] we need to approve the minutes.
>> The regular council meeting,
[2:16] 2026,
August.
[2:28] No.
[2:31] » Thank you, Chris.
[2:37] » So, we were supposed to have virtual
fuel here. She uh had to cancel at the
[2:41] last minute due to a family issue. She
said she sent you something about the
[2:46] Independence Day this weekend, but I
didn't see anything attached. Um,
[2:51] they're starting at 1:00. If you were
able to come and say a few words. 12:45.
[2:57] » What day?
>> Um, Saturday. Sunday.
[3:00] » Sunday.
So, we're on Sunday.
[3:04] » Um, right.
>> Yes.
[3:07] 12:45. That would be great. Um, other
than that, I don't have any information
[3:13] on it. Um, I did want to speak to
Rachel.
[3:18] Um, there's been a bit of issues with
Mexicans drinking
[3:23] in this park,
playing soccer, but also partying it up
[3:29] and down at Railhead. So,
>> a lot of complaining. I'm getting a lot
[3:34] of people saying that,
>> yeah,
[3:37] » he kept up late at night.
mainly on weekends. It is
[3:43] » mainly on weekends that I'm getting a
complaint.
[3:47] » So, I don't know if it's um worth a call
to Becky saying, "You know what? If that
[3:51] continues, we won't be hosting it next
year." But
[3:56] » well, I think somebody should have a
talk to
[4:00] for sure.
>> Is still kind of
[4:03] » I think he is. I could have talked to
him.
[4:09] Because I called Becky once at the plant
and said, "You know, we don't like them
[4:13] playing soccer over there, but they
really need to take their empties and
[4:17] their
>> Well, they shouldn't be drinking over
[4:19] there.
>> They shouldn't be drinking over there.
[4:21] » No alcohol.
>> Yeah.
[4:22] » I mean,
>> but you know, don't leave your empties.
[4:26] Don't leave the garbage cans full to
bursting with
[4:32] » stuff. Well, I seen three young, no,
four
[4:38] went through the other day. Last week,
we're painting that. They went over and
[4:42] they guess on the
the
[4:47] » They were climbing all over and
everything and they were just being
[4:52] loud, obnoxious. Anyways, I was going to
say something. I said, "You know what?
[4:56] Touch your mouth and say nothing. You're
better off." Anyways, then to get on the
[5:01] swings and all of that and went on there
for a while. Anyways,
[5:08] I just let it go and and they took off,
but it was like, you know, I felt like
[5:13] going over and tell them
obviously your parents have never
[5:18] corrected you for anything because to do
what they were doing, I mean, things
[5:24] » this was not the migrant workers.
>> No.
[5:30] This is young people.
>> Like last week I seen and there were I
[5:35] want to say there were
[5:39] 12 13 like that 14 in that range. But I
mean they weren't acting it was just
[5:48] climbing all over the stuff and and
being rough with it really. But anyway,
[5:54] I I figured we need trouble
looking into that
[6:01] bad enough.
Okay, this is horizon from previous
[6:05] meetings June 10th, 2026.
>> Rehanging
[6:12] pictures and
>> goodness, I had people just piling to
[6:16] help. Uh, Carol White came, Jackie came,
Ed came, somebody else was there, and
[6:22] everyone took it very seriously. We
looked at all the different places, and
[6:27] we're very pleased with the arrangement
we came up with.
[6:30] » Okay. And I'm I just want to the the
heat pump over there, how's that been
[6:36] working?
>> Um, it's been working good. Um, our
[6:42] RFI came and showed me where
that drain line is so that if it backs
[6:50] up again, we can I don't know. It's only
about this big for
[6:55] » I don't know how you would suck it out.
[7:02] » Yeah.
>> It's got a dip in it and then it goes up
[7:06] a little bit so it backs up and then it
drips.
[7:12] » Yeah. So Alyssa Chapman's picture got a
bath, but I just took part of the frame
[7:17] and the mask in the picture and
>> took it about three days to dry out.
[7:22] » Okay.
>> And then put it back together and hung
[7:23] her back up. So, but it's working.
>> And have they fixed the dip in the line?
[7:29] » Um, no.
>> I I had this problem once before, dip in
[7:34] the line.
>> Yeah.
[7:35] » And just does incredible damage when
left unatt.
[7:38] » Yeah. So,
>> we've had twice. Go for it.
[7:43] » And it just needs you to get a little
clip to hold it.
[7:46] » Yeah.
>> Pipe
[7:49] dip.
>> All right. Moving on. Correspondence.
[7:54] Sean L.
>> Was a nice letter from Sean.
[8:02] » Was that positive letter?
>> Yeah, it was in your package.
[8:06] » I didn't get to the back of the package.
>> The new edition of their hotel. Oh man
[8:11] specifically
mentions you there's a copy of it if you
[8:16] want to read that
>> um still the gate needs to have the
[8:21] » reversed
>> but he said um oh I can't remember her
[8:26] name um the one with the two huskies
Paul and she works hard
[8:31] » oh yes
[8:35] Paul said he would be willing to do it
>> okay
[8:40] » if I've never catch him.
>> Question on that gate. Is there is it
[8:44] flat outside the gate very far here
enough for me to get in there with
[8:49] tractor
[8:52] » on on just on the dog
>> on that side? I never looked at it. I
[8:59] drive by it every day. But is there a
number?
[9:02] » George was in his line.
Are you talking
[9:05] » I'm talking where the two dog parents
are together. The one that's the south
[9:10] one.
>> Yeah. Small.
[9:12] » There's enough. Is there enough room
there for me to get in there with the
[9:14] tractor to that gate?
>> The double gate.
[9:18] » Through the double gate.
>> Yeah. To the double gate.
[9:20] » That should be okay.
>> Okay.
[9:21] » It's like 8 ft or something.
>> Okay. Yeah. Good. Okay.
[9:26] » I never even just
busy.
[9:31] » Well, that's good. Glad people like us.
>> Yeah.
[9:34] » And they were out there doing that each
day.
[9:38] or green now. Yeah. Yeah.
[9:45] » Catch before the frost hits.
>> There's
[9:50] It's been seen.
>> Yeah. Today supposed to be done. I was
[9:55] going to talk about it later, but it
should have been done a couple weeks
[9:58] ago, unfortunately. Big rain came, but
it wasn't bad. I expected to be more
[10:05] wash out than there was.
I'll talk a bit more about.
[10:10] » Okay. CO report. So, we have a janitor.
Y
[10:16] » good.
>> Uh Sarah Davidson. She was in here
[10:20] Sunday. I came in to catch up on some
work. So, I was here a full day Sunday
[10:26] and u she just said, "Let me go. If I
have questions, I'll come ask you." and
[10:32] she wants to get everything on the list
done so that she knows when it was
[10:37] started, when it's cleaned, and then
she'll schedule it out. However,
[10:42] » days are going to be Sunday for six
hours and Thursday, probably Thursday
[10:47] evenings for 4 hours
>> and then when the like six months comes
[10:52] up when she has to wash all the light
fixtures in the large room, that'll
[10:56] probably be some more hours. Um, she's
willing to do the majority of the dump
[11:02] runs. Might need a little help break at
first because we've had so much going
[11:07] on, but I mean, she cleaned it Sunday
and then we had Jackie and Ed rent it
[11:13] for their big rest.
>> But she'll be here tomorrow night.
[11:18] » So, she got it in for 10 hours a week
basically. Does she have a truck? Nope.
[11:24] That's not
>> How did she do the imprints?
[11:26] » Um,
she and her mom are going to be doing it
[11:31] with the car apparently or we may need
Rob or Lawrence to every
[11:39] Lawrence will get a ball for the SUV for
the trailer so we can get really
[11:45] stuff.
>> Is she on a bit like a probationary
[11:48] period for a few months?
>> Yeah. So, she's 3 months and at the end
[11:51] of 3 months, I'll sit down with her and
if everything's going okay, she'll get a
[11:56] raise up to 21. She's at 20 right now.
>> 2194.
[12:04] So,
>> she local.
[12:06] » Yeah. Yeah, she's I think
[12:12] » Sarah Davidson. So, she's just I think
next to FA life.
[12:16] » Oh, yeah.
Is that John's wife?
[12:21] » Sister sister.
[12:25] » I think she'll be good. Um, yeah.
>> So, all ties are cut and record of
[12:30] employment and whatnot for the previous
uh janitor.
[12:33] » Yeah. I've been trying to figure out his
keys for the last couple of days because
[12:38] they were just a pile. They weren't um
identified at all. So, almost got those
[12:45] sorted out.
Um,
[12:48] » you can start online next.
>> That key room there is
[12:55] there's stuff I have no idea.
>> Keys for which there are no locks and
[12:59] locks for which there are no keys.
>> And
[13:02] » who else goes in there except you.
>> Um, but they've been hanging there for a
[13:08] year.
>> Keys to the game. He's going back to
[13:11] when there was a cabinet for
action PEI or go PEI,
[13:19] » right?
>> Yeah.
[13:20] » You've got that wall and you hang all
your chain all your keys. Y
[13:24] » just no mattresses and pick them off
that
[13:28] » Yeah. Well, there's stuff down at
Yeah.
[13:33] » locks down at rail heads, sewage, lift
gate, lift stations.
[13:39] I have no idea. So that might be maybe
something that um Margaret can can work
[13:46] on with
you guys. Sean,
[13:51] » let me know.
>> Never mind Gordon's challenger.
[13:55] Grab and go was a big part of this
village. What we what what can we do to
[14:00] address that void? A lot of people
depending on it.
[14:04] Yeah, but there is a lot of people
depend on that.
[14:08] » You'd have to find someone
license
[14:15] and
>> and cook
[14:20] » to do it.
>> Someone's really pretty keen that
[14:27] » and dedicated.
>> Well, it's every Monday, right? So,
[14:33] » yeah. Well, Don from Harborview had
expressed maybe something, but she said
[14:39] it's three days. It's shopping, cooking,
and then distributing.
[14:43] » Yeah.
>> And I don't think she's up for all of
[14:46] that.
>> It's Sunday to get prepared and Monday
[14:48] morning. Yeah.
>> Huge.
[14:53] » Yep.
>> So, I don't know if you'll get anybody
[14:56] to volunteer to do it. You might get
somebody
[14:59] to pay to do it, but
[15:06] Um, I finally have my vacation set. So,
be gone from the 6th to the 27th of
[15:12] October.
And Margaret will be in the office from
[15:18] 9:00 a.m. till noon as needed.
>> Said by next week.
[15:23] » Uh, 4.
>> 4.
[15:25] » Yeah. And if there's nothing for her to
do on a Wednesday,
[15:30] she might just say, "Okay, I'm here for
two hours and now I'm going."
[15:33] » Is she cross trained already?
>> Yeah, she's covered for me for
[15:37] vacations.
>> Is there a responsibility allowance
[15:42] according to yours?
>> I covered for her, she covers for me.
[15:46] » So, she's going to be able to do what
you're doing right now. Our next council
[15:50] or
>> Yeah.
[15:51] » Yeah. I'll get the minutes done and and
the agenda show it show show where it
[15:56] all is and uh yeah and under new
business we'll need to do a motion but
[16:03] other than that so the election I've
listed out the important dates
[16:10] I will be back for the election
and uh I'll be back for the advanced
[16:16] poll date
I'll get the nomination packages done
[16:21] before I go. And Mark is going to be the
MEO, so he will be here a couple of
[16:29] mornings as well, but Margaret's the
deputy MEO, and she can give out
[16:35] nomination packages as well. So,
>> when will the new counselors be sworn
[16:41] in?
>> They would be sworn in the week of
[16:44] December 1st to 7th.
So generally
[16:49] what happens is you can invite them to
your November council meeting
[16:54] just so they can see how it is and then
there'll be a special meeting probably
[17:02] that Wednesday of December to get them
sworn in and probably get them to watch
[17:07] the anti-harassment because we have a
bunch of HR policies that are to be in
[17:13] place.
So um
[17:17] » welcome to council. I guess the anti
horizon.
[17:20] » Yeah. So what's the week of week of
first seventh?
[17:24] » Yeah. So whatever Wednesday is in there
[17:30] » and they get sworn in at the beginning
of the meeting.
[17:34] » Yes.
>> So technically we stop being counselors
[17:36] at the end of the October meeting or the
meeting.
[17:39] » No, you stop being counselors the day
before there's one.
[17:44] just travel.
>> When is the election? November
[17:48] » November 2nd.
>> November second.
[17:53] » Yeah.
>> Okay.
[17:56] » And then our regular council meeting is
the 18th of November.
[18:00] » 18th.
>> Yep.
[18:02] » 18th Wednesday.
[18:10] 18 - 7 is 9.
[18:14] You're right. 11. Sorry.
[18:20] » So, we have to drop it down.
[18:27] » I knew I had to method.
[18:33] » Okay.
or any questions about
[18:39] » what's your bottom line look like in our
financial
[18:42] » well first
so nicely here everything is going so
[18:47] nicely
>> just easy
[18:52] in a minute
>> any questions
[18:57] » um the gross on
the summer was 1400
[19:04] And I haven't done the the expenses yet.
So still really good for a horrible
[19:09] rating.
>> Yes.
[19:12] » Oh, for our expenses.
>> Yeah. Yeah. They're pretty negligible.
[19:18] » Yeah.
[19:24] » We hit close to 2,00
[19:32] just over 1400.
with everything
[19:37] expenses off that
[19:47] » working.
[19:56] » Any questions on the financials?
>> We're plus that's always makes us
[20:01] » better than negative. We need to move.
>> Yeah,
[20:05] » move and
>> just made a motion for the CIO report
[20:11] and financial be received as
information.
[20:19] » I'll second
[20:46] Okay. I had submitted a few items there.
Maybe I'll just expand on a couple of
[20:51] them there. Our infrastructure
committee, uh, we continue to have a
[20:55] real problem getting contractors to, uh,
to bid on some do a couple of things,
[21:02] let alone actually do them for us. And
two things that come to mind are the
[21:06] kitchen,
the environment of the kitchen. You want
[21:10] to get someone to come and analyze it.
An air exchanger perhaps make it better.
[21:16] I've had Jerry Keith trying to find
someone. He's spoken to five different
[21:20] guys, companies. Three have actually
come here and they looked at it and uh
[21:27] he doesn't have anything writing from
anybody.
[21:31] So it's a real they're so busy with
bigger projects and more money and you
[21:36] know
>> guy can be into a development of a condo
[21:40] complex or something you got work there
for eight months you know 50 units or
[21:44] something
>> anyway it's a real issue
[21:48] » Rob did come in this morning to talk to
me about that and the stove and he said
[21:54] that that exchanger is way more than
what's needed because it's a residential
[22:03] stove and what they have over it
normally is like a little
[22:06] » Yeah.
>> exhausty fan.
[22:08] » We want we want a professional opinion
of why there's condensation. Why? What?
[22:14] We just can't get the people to give us
that. It's going to cost $5,800.
[22:18] » Yeah.
>> Is there
[22:27] I purchased We spoke earlier. I
purchased two more dehumidifiers to go
[22:31] down in the basement,
>> but I need power outlets,
[22:36] » something.
[22:39] Yeah.
>> So, there's that. And then the
[22:42] playground, which had this inspection
done last year.
[22:46] I've asked teams kind of construction
with people that are doing the back area
[22:50] upgrade to the quote on putting in a new
surface there.
[22:57] Waiting. still waiting, you know, even
though they're working right there.
[23:00] » Yeah.
>> And they've done that exact work in Mon.
[23:04] I showed a picture of the one by the
center there.
[23:07] » This is exactly what I want. Also got
that Pravel.
[23:10] » Yeah.
>> It's got ultra light resistant
[23:16] plastic border all around. So very grass
and this
[23:21] can't give me a number. Yeah.
[23:26] And the other thing was the third items
on the infrastructure was the lighting
[23:30] for the ramps and stuff outside. John
Olson is going to do who's been working
[23:34] at the town on one of these condominium
protests every day for months. Who is
[23:39] this?
>> John Olson. He lives right beside Paul
[23:43] and Ted McLean's going back.
>> Oh yes,
[23:47] » I think he
Okay. So anyway, our budgets because of
[23:55] these things is really healthy right
now. We have 39,000 and we spent
[24:00] 910.
So we still got very healthy budget
[24:05] there for these jobs
do it.
[24:13] » I'm going to try to make a few calls and
Jerry says he's he doesn't know what to
[24:17] do. somewhere in I'll try to make a
couple more contacts and see if we can
[24:21] get somebody in there.
Our sewage utility met yesterday. Things
[24:27] are going great. Thank goodness we have
a very reliable, robust, well working,
[24:33] efficient system
because we know money breaks.
[24:38] So we're all, as you probably heard us
talk, we're gearing towards an Iraq
[24:43] application for increase
We've got the big CBCL report about the
[24:49] state of the state state of the affairs.
What has to be done? So, we got we've
[24:53] made a budget for the first time for the
sewage sewage utility. We've got a
[24:58] three-year projection if they want it.
And Ann and I and Margaret are hoping to
[25:02] finalize that next week.
>> Yeah.
[25:06] » We can say okay to our CPAs,
accountants,
[25:09] » yeah,
>> here's our budget. Here's a forecast.
[25:12] Got the CBCL report.
Tell us, give it a bad year. Ice Crop
[25:19] did something very similar. The same
accountants, correct?
[25:23] » And it was it's not going to be
insignificant. It's not, you know, it's
[25:27] not going to go from $39 to $41. Now,
it's not it's got to it's got to go.
[25:34] our our cash flow situation is such that
we're good for this fiscal year unless
[25:41] unless a pump blows up and and
running greatly now
[25:47] fiscal 28
that's going to be dicey to get through
[25:52] that without having to borrow money and
find more funds somewhere. So the sooner
[25:57] we can get to Iraq and this is one thing
I mentioned eight months ago. Let's get
[26:01] this in before the new council comes so
they don't have to deal with that. Get
[26:04] it perfect to let them deal with it.
We'll get it into Iraq's hand and it's
[26:09] dealing with
>> that's the kind of the beauty of is yeah
[26:14] we're in a predicament for no one's
fault around this table
[26:18] » but our CPAs are going to suggest what
we need to get us into the red and back
[26:24] up across that line into the black and
this is what IRA's going to have in
[26:28] front of them and then it's up to them
to say yes we agree with what the CPA is
[26:35] no we don't we can't raise take one
nickel with their approval.
[26:39] » Yeah.
>> And what crapo ended up doing was 7% a
[26:42] year over four years.
>> So 7% 7%
[26:47] » Yeah.
>> 7%.
[26:49] » That's significant. That's 28%.
>> Yeah.
[26:52] » Yeah.
>> So it's it's going to be uh significant
[26:56] to get us because in in that sewage
utility, the only income the only income
[27:02] is your rate.
>> There's no fundraisers. There's no
[27:06] barbecues. There's I guess there could
be
[27:10] you know there's nothing
that's
[27:16] anyway all that ever happened to
history. We got to look forward and what
[27:20] do we do together back in black? Uh the
two projects the one out front as you've
[27:25] seen is it's 98% done. There's a couple
little hairline cracks.
[27:29] » That's a shame. It was such a beautiful
job that showed up. What was it you
[27:33] filled it in with? Well, there was I
don't know what the name of it is, John.
[27:37] Somebody crumbs.
>> Yeah.
[27:40] » And they fill it with a a filler, lack
of better. I don't know what it's
[27:43] called.
>> Like that removable cocking up around
[27:46] the window.
>> Yeah.
[27:48] » Could be a box.
>> Yeah. Something like that.
[27:51] » And the uh we're not happy with the
asphalt pattern. The very east end. It's
[27:56] It's just It's got granular and it's
rough, right? Water's going to get in
[28:01] there. is going to freeze and melt and
start popping off that surface. So, we
[28:05] want that scratched down and we have a
new asphalt properly compacted and
[28:10] smoothed out. Should look like this
table is now,
[28:13] » but other than that, it looks great. The
boulevard is straight up there. Looks
[28:18] really sharp.
>> Love it. It's just what I was
[28:22] envisioning. There lots of space for,
>> you know, two people, three people at
[28:26] rest, a wheelchair coming, a walker,
whatever. all
[28:32] » this guy over here uh WST is our
engineers have just given them
[28:37] substantial completion for the rec area
upgrade but there's about 10 or 11
[28:41] things on that deficiency list nothing
major is something
[28:47] » so yeah that that project is almost done
as well
[28:51] waiting to hear about that closing
park over here so so that that that's it
[28:58] for the two capital projects I mean, the
solar panels are working and functioning
[29:01] properly. We're at the uh sewage lagoon
and according to Margaret, the credits
[29:07] are coming in as they are in the roof of
this place and almost covering the cost
[29:12] of running that pump station.
>> Oh, that's good.
[29:15] » Yeah, it's like several thousand bucks a
year. Okay.
[29:19] » Which is the same as these guys.
>> So, those are the great projects where
[29:23] you can make money off. It looks like
don't talk about the solar panels in
[29:29] some side but
[29:37] that's our capital project
infrastructure community utility and all
[29:42] you know moving forward as we should and
just waiting to get some contractors to
[29:47] push us over that finish line there a
couple of projects.
[29:51] Yeah,
>> that's it.
[29:55] » Okay.
Yeah, Kelly's not here, so no updates on
[30:00] that one
>> newsletter.
[30:03] » Um, I did reach out to Arlene and ask
her if she would like to maybe continue
[30:07] just for this newsletter.
>> Yeah.
[30:10] » And she politely declined.
[30:16] » Yeah.
>> So, I don't know.
[30:18] I guess any committee like that, you've
got to have a counselor on it. Isn't
[30:22] that the law counselor lead?
>> But
[30:28] » yeah, it would have been nice to bring
>> or just
[30:30] » anybody could have been the figureheaded
counselor.
[30:32] » Yeah. You know, for this one because
there's a new council coming in and we
[30:36] usually have it going out November,
December
[30:39] continuity. So, I don't know if you're
>> I'd have to wait till next spring.
[30:43] » Yeah. I don't know what's happening with
the news. And then there might not be
[30:48] one.
>> Yeah,
[30:51] » that's that's going to be the case for a
lot of these things. The new council
[30:55] have a lot of stuff on their plate who's
going to do what, right?
[31:01] » Sun's going to come up tomorrow.
[31:05] » Whether we're here or not, we're here.
>> We're still going to live in a beautiful
[31:10] community.
>> Yes, that's it.
[31:13] So, newsletter. Okay. Community garden
updates.
[31:20] Sewage utility
[31:24] » damn
>> me.
[31:26] » You're up.
>> It's too quick. So, I was contacted by
[31:30] the provincial EMO to update um all of
the services that we provide at the
[31:36] center here in the event of emergency.
They use that to ensure that the
[31:40] website's updated and um to direct folks
to any of the services um they may
[31:47] require.
Um I attended I think I might have
[31:52] spoken about it um a heat response
brainstorming session that was held last
[31:56] fall by um health PEI and now they have
developed a whole heat response tips and
[32:04] suggestions. Um, it's available for the
public and uh and it includes, you know,
[32:10] encouraging people to get out of the
heat, go to some cooler locations,
[32:16] um, including here at the center in
times of extreme heat uh, during the
[32:21] that last event which was brutal. Um,
and received a number of calls and she
[32:28] even made sure that the central was open
for some additional hours particularly
[32:33] on Friday afternoon. So, thanks so much.
That's great.
[32:38] » Um, we made a decision that all of the
used chairs that have been replaced will
[32:44] be offered for sale at the Seven Mile
Yard sale. Um, but Rob and I are going
[32:49] to take 10 of the best chairs, five with
arms, five without. I consulted with
[32:55] Elaine to ask her how many she thought
they would need. Um, and so we're going
[33:00] to recover them in vinyl so they can be
wiped down easily.
[33:05] » Um, so those will be done in the next
little bit. Um,
[33:09] where does it for?
>> Pardon?
[33:13] » You you're keeping five with armchairs
and five side chairs. What are they to
[33:16] be used for?
>> For people with mobility issues. So some
[33:20] folks need to use the arms to get up and
down. And
[33:24] » I see the seniors got red chairs.
>> Yeah. And that's why I spoke to Elaine
[33:31] » specifically. I think what we'll do is
we'll cover 10 chairs, Paul, and we'll
[33:36] leave them in that room because they
seem to be the ones that like to use
[33:39] them the most.
>> Yeah. So, we'll do 10 and we'll leave
[33:44] them in there and then we can get rid of
all the rest of them.
[33:49] » Yep. Yep.
Um, and finally, um,
[33:55] I had a look around the kitchen and I
know Ann's had a look around, too. And,
[34:00] uh, I'm hoping to be able to round up a
few volunteers
[34:05] to give our maintenance back a break.
>> Just to reorganize the kitchen again,
[34:13] give it a good deep clean because um, it
could use it. Yeah,
[34:18] » Sarah did go in and even the island she
was pulling stuff out of
[34:21] » the island. You could tell
>> Yeah,
[34:23] » you could tell when we were in there on
the weekend. So,
[34:26] » I couldn't get over how clean the
kitchen was.
[34:29] » Yeah.
>> So, but I mean to help her out to not
[34:32] for her to organize the pantry.
>> Yeah. You know, like that's not
[34:36] » And there's things like the cups get
bleached twice a year because of
[34:39] lipstick and things like that.
>> Yeah.
[34:44] » Lipstick.
>> Yeah.
[34:47] That was the whole problem
[34:54] white. Okay, we finished with the end of
summer bash. It was quite a success for
[35:03] the weather that we
had over the weekend. Our next event is
[35:11] the 70 mile air sale. Gary, can I ask
you to help bring stuff out?
[35:18] » Yes.
>> From the base.
[35:19] » Yeah.
>> Yeah.
[35:20] » Can we uh can we do it Thursday or does
it have to be Friday? Something going on
[35:26] Friday morning here?
>> What day is that?
[35:28] » They have pickle ball week to cancel.
>> I'm going to be busy by Friday
[35:35] afternoon myself.
>> Okay. So I would rather I'll help you
[35:40] first thing Friday morning or Thursday
afternoon.
[35:44] » Um
>> well Thursday
[35:49] either Thursday or Friday would be good
>> September 19th
[35:55] » 19 to Saturday
>> Saturday
[35:59] send Rob a message too. He's happy to
come. The more hands you have, the
[36:04] better.
[36:07] » No, you can't.
[36:16] » So, I can definitely help one way or the
other.
[36:19] » I can always bring up on the stage
anyway.
[36:22] » Yes,
>> even if the art
[36:25] did that last year,
>> but I think there's quite a bit of stuff
[36:30] down there.
>> There is more common.
[36:33] » We had a couple
>> Suzanne Richards house
[36:38] from it.
>> Yeah,
[36:39] » a lot of um Adah Herring's house I think
too that got sold. So there was a lot
[36:45] came out of there.
>> Um yeah, there was a few
[36:55] » Do you know the date of the senior's
Christmas? Are they doing
[37:01] » We didn't
>> We didn't set the date.
[37:06] » Technically that would be
[37:10] » technically.
[37:16] » Welcome to council. Guess what?
Coming up on Saturday.
[37:30] Yes, that would be I think that would be
[37:43] came here anyway. I don't care.
>> A lot of people ask me
[37:57] » and do you got turkeys for it?
[38:05] » I thought I thought one
[38:10] you need.
>> Well, have a look.
[38:13] And then we'll know.
>> We'll just let me know.
[38:20] » Probably need
if we don't have any, we'll probably
[38:24] need four
or two.
[38:26] » Yeah, I think it was three or four last
time.
[38:31] » I think it was three.
>> Three. It was three.
[38:34] » Was it?
>> Cuz there was one left, I believe you
[38:37] said.
>> Yeah. Anyway,
[38:40] we check on the fridge to see if there's
another one left.
[38:45] » Well, I think it might got used though.
>> I find it used late
[38:51] » last December.
>> Yeah.
[38:55] » Yeah.
>> We might have ending. I don't think we
[39:00] » But
>> if
[39:04] she doesn't come through, we'll come
through.
[39:14] We're getting from
I want turkey. I want all your dishes.
[39:22] » Fridges and turkeys.
I understand there's a problem with the
[39:28] community fridge. Is there any update on
that?
[39:32] » The community fridge was cleaned out by
someone.
[39:36] » Yeah. I was just wondering.
>> We got the bins back.
[39:38] » Oh, did we?
>> Oh, yeah.
[39:40] » Well,
>> I saw one.
[39:43] » You saw one
>> in the in the community bridge.
[39:46] » Okay.
>> I haven't gone I purchased new ones.
[39:50] » Okay. So, I I can come up tomorrow, but
they
[39:56] » screw them down for for what good it
will do. I'm going to screw them down.
[40:01] Put a washer on.
>> Yeah,
[40:03] » that's a good plan.
>> Four of them. I remember we decided to
[40:08] put it out there so that people could
use it anonymously and then we ended up
[40:12] putting the camera in it anyway and
everyone knows it. But maybe if we moved
[40:17] it closer to the community center in the
parking lot where that type of
[40:21] transacting would be less likely to
occur. I know I know John I find out I
[40:29] hear I have I have connections I'll say
in the community so I hear quite quickly
[40:36] » without even the camera
>> they probably don't know the people
[40:40] because I've had one two instances where
they didn't know the people but they
[40:45] said they took way more than they should
have and when I looked at the camera at
[40:49] that time on that date yes they
I wouldn't have put it on in all honesty
[40:58] if they would have from around here and
they needed that tape. But they were
[41:03] from Georgetown. I knew the mother went
school with her and I talked to her
[41:08] privately, not on Facebook. No, on
Messenger. Yeah.
[41:14] » And she said to me, she said, "I'm
having an awful time." She tried must
[41:19] been a week to try and get these bins.
and she said she's, you know, she gave
[41:26] me the whole speed on it and it's just
like
[41:29] » clearly these people have issues.
>> But anyway, so it's
[41:35] we had to draw a line at where we're
going to
[41:39] serve.
>> Mhm.
[41:40] » And I mean the line like I said Dan and
and when we drew the line for it, the
[41:47] line isn't the line. I mean, if it's
within reason, if you're 10 miles over,
[41:53] I don't really care. Sure. You know what
I mean? But when you're coming from
[41:57] George down and you're hitting three on
the same day,
[42:00] » just wonder.
>> Well, in all honesty, I've got eyes
[42:05] right across the street.
>> So, that's one
[42:10] » of probably four. So, I know pretty soon
who's abusing and who with me. So, and I
[42:17] mean I don't even like to go on there
and do any of the post and that, but I
[42:22] just get so frustrated with it because
it's like I wasn't raised that way to do
[42:26] that kind of stuff. And there's no way
you should be doing this. I mean, if you
[42:31] need stuff, come get a few things and
come back to the world.
[42:35] » And the big excuse that I see when they
do these raids is, oh, we're picking up
[42:39] for three families. Well, no, you're not
coming.
[42:44] You pick up maybe for two people, but
that's it. We're not into a bus.
[42:50] » No,
>> I mean, this is for the Murray Harbor
[42:54] area. It is community fridge for this
area right here.
[42:59] » And it's
just it's grown so much
[43:05] » that they're, you know, and I mean, most
people are really good with it. I've
[43:10] seen it happen on the camera with
Well, I've checked it a few times and
[43:15] it's like most people have a thing or
two.
[43:18] » That's it. And I mean,
>> you can't
[43:22] tell them one person.
>> Yeah. And we're not watching the cameras
[43:26] all the time.
>> No.
[43:28] » If I happen to glance up and see the
door open, it's like, oh, good.
[43:34] » But yeah, we're not watching it to see
who's using it. I don't have time for
[43:39] it interesting that you can drive all
the way from Georgetown. Why didn't you
[43:42] take that like 20 or 30 bucks worth of
gas and go buy groceries?
[43:46] » Well, one guy called me and he said I
just let them go in into Monu. They went
[43:51] into the one in Mon
because he said I let them pull in front
[43:55] of me to go in. And he said then when
they were leaving, I was at the Tim
[44:01] Hortons. He said when they were leaving,
he said they were hidden your way.
[44:08] » Anyway, I mean
the police have
[44:12] not getting into place. I'll burge you
out if you want to be that way with it.
[44:17] I'll put your face on there, but as far
as getting stuff back, I'm not going
[44:21] begging you for the stuff.
>> No, you don't know what's been done or
[44:26] the food for that matter. You know what
I mean? Like I'm trying to be as fair as
[44:31] I can, but the other side of me is
they're not gonna just stomp all over it
[44:36] either. Well, and the thing the part
that would be very sad is that if this
[44:41] was to be allowed to continue, people
will stop.
[44:45] » Yes.
>> I'm not doing this anymore.
[44:48] » That's it. Well, I've had people message
me and say, you know, and I said, you
[44:52] can't get disappointed just because one
person, we've only had what, how many
[44:57] instances? Two or three.
>> Three.
[44:59] » Yeah.
>> Since it started. So, that's one year.
[45:03] » That's actually not so bad. You know
what I mean?
[45:07] And even though you feel bad going on,
that shows the community that you're
[45:11] responding
>> that you're not going to allow
[45:14] » a feast that's going to Georgetown. You
could could become a real family right
[45:18] in this village.
>> Yeah.
[45:19] » Or bear or Mary Harbor North, wherever,
you know.
[45:24] » Anyway, uh, okay, we got to get on to
new business here. Motion to allow
[45:31] Margaret Brady to act as deputy CEO in
my absence. And
[45:38] » so I did have a motion that council
approve the appointment of Margaret
[45:41] Brady as deputy CEO to act on behalf of
the rural municipality of Marine Harbor
[45:46] when the CEO is away. So holiday sick
day is hit by a herd of turtles.
[45:53] » I see the point. I agree with it. But
how we doing this for the last four
[45:57] years in way? Um because when I was
talking to municipal affairs about
[46:03] something else, I spoke to them and she
said probably just have a motion to make
[46:06] it official.
>> I still move.
[46:10] » I second.
[46:14] » Margaret or just to appoint a deputy CEO
specifically Margaret?
[46:18] » Well, she's the only other staff. Well,
I realize that, but going forward, it's
[46:22] a half. Margaret's no longer. I mean,
it's just it's only Margaret that can do
[46:27] this
>> for now.
[46:31] » All in favor?
>> Everybody was in favor.
[46:34] » Okay.
[46:48] » We already covered that. Yeah. donation
of piano.
[46:52] » That's a possible donation. Possibly a
little premature announcement
[46:56] to November
[47:02] till
November.
[47:08] Basement activity near white. Basement
space.
[47:13] All items that were previously used by
the janitor have been moved into the
[47:18] empty space beside the furnace room. Ray
River is partnering with the Monarchy
[47:24] Lions Club to host the annual children's
Christmas toy drive. So if you hear lots
[47:32] of banging, it will be shelves getting
built to store all the toys.
[47:38] New name TBD.
to be determined.
[47:43] » To be determined.
>> What is it called right now for the
[47:46] Lions Toys for Tots or something?
>> No, it was actually called the Monu Toy
[47:52] Project. Okay.
>> And so I've been invy
[47:59] project and it just is an official name
for income tax purposes and all that.
[48:03] So, I've requested that um they change
it just a bit. And I think the new name
[48:11] will have a sign to put on the inside of
the the entrance door there. And I think
[48:16] it's going to be called the Children's
Christmas Toy Project. That's
[48:21] » good. And it'll underneath it'll say um
I think it says sponsored and operated
[48:28] by the Monu Lions Club with the support
of Murray Harbor
[48:33] » or Yeah. Murray Harbor.
>> No, no, it will be on the outside of the
[48:39] building when they start because they're
going to use you know that sidewalk
[48:44] over here.
>> There was a new lock put on it for
[48:47] anonymity. So people don't even have to
access the building. They'll be able to
[48:51] go right downstairs and pick up toys
>> where they don't have to meet and see
[48:57] other people or that go down.
>> Sort of like
[49:02] sort of like the community fridge for
toys.
[49:04] » Yeah, kind of.
>> Some people don't care, but some people
[49:07] are very embarrassed that they can't
provide.
[49:10] » Yes.
>> Okay. And who's building the shelves?
[49:13] » They're done.
>> Who built them?
[49:15] » Rob.
with all material donated by Lions Club.
[49:21] Correct.
>> Yeah, it was all purchased by the Lions
[49:23] Club
>> thanks to the Lions Club is really
[49:27] stepping up for us here, right? Thanks.
>> Oh, well Rob asked me about it. Says,
[49:34] you know,
>> the space isn't being used, it's for a
[49:37] good cause.
>> Yeah, don't have a problem with it. The
[49:41] other thing um that Rob had mentioned to
me as well, which is why I went, well,
[49:46] come on. So, what happened when we left
the curling club, all the toys are
[49:50] actually currently stored in one of
those cand
[49:56] were going to operate out of it this
winter. Um, but in talking to Lauren,
[49:59] Lauren had said about 60 to 70% of the
toys that go out every year are in this
[50:06] community. Oh,
>> it's not Monue. It's east of
[50:10] » Monu. Okay.
>> Southeast of Monu. So, it kind of makes
[50:14] sense to kind of move it more in the
area.
[50:17] » Is it year round?
>> No, just for Christmas.
[50:21] » And who will unlock them all the door
every day?
[50:23] » We have keys. The people who need to
have Ann has a set of keys. Rob has a
[50:29] set of keys.
>> I was just wondering is it open every
[50:31] day because you know it's on here every
day.
[50:34] » No, no, no. it it will have specific
hours where people can come and pick up
[50:38] toys
>> and it will be manned at that time.
[50:41] » It's not going to take any of Ann's time
other than the fact that she said,
[50:44] "Well, if they want to do drop off of
toys and I'm here, they're welcome to."
[50:48] So, that's lovely.
>> But other than that, it'll
[50:53] sound like something's going to be busy
in December and then quiet.
[50:58] » Oh, it's nuts. Nuts in December.
November is quite busy, too, because
[51:02] that's when all the names are coming in.
We're trying to put the bags together
[51:06] and all that stuff. And then December's
crazy
[51:09] » and then nothing.
>> Pardon?
[51:12] » People pre-order. They just kind of
select off the shelf.
[51:14] » No, what they do is they call in
>> and they give the names and the ages
[51:20] like or not the names, sorry, the the
gender and the age of the children and
[51:24] then we put it all together and they
come again.
[51:27] » Okay.
Very
[51:31] good. I think it's a great thing.
[51:37] » And I mean, you know,
I'm 100%.
[51:43] » Okay. Snow removal around community
center.
[51:48] » Which snow removal are you talking? Um
well it was just council was kind of
[51:54] discussing about snowblower need for
need for a snowb blower or tractor or so
[52:00] it was really just for council
discussion too. Um there's we'll need
[52:06] somebody to do the stairs and
>> cuz Gordon was doing the snow removal on
[52:12] the path to the dog park and the front
walkway, but now it's probably big
[52:19] enough. You can do it with
the stairs, the ramps.
[52:24] » I usually do this here anyway.
>> Yeah.
[52:26] » And then the dog park.
>> I'll do both the dog park. So,
[52:32] » and if it's a busy day, I'll do one and
the smaller one I'll wait till the next
[52:37] day or something.
>> It usually take if we get a big snow
[52:42] fall, it takes me at least two, three
days to get it cleaned up.
[52:45] » Yeah.
>> Where would we need the snow for?
[52:49] » Um, so
>> getting tight to the stairs and stuff or
[52:55] » the ramp? Yeah,
>> the ramp or the shoveling like But
[53:01] Sarah's not going to do any shoveling.
No, that's a separate.
[53:04] » So, we will be needing somebody to
shovel.
[53:06] » Did Did we
>> We had Boogie down here.
[53:11] » Yeah, we had Ed. The first year he was
great.
[53:14] » The second year I think his mom was sick
and not so much and Gordon ended up
[53:18] taking it over.
>> What about the There's three young
[53:22] ablebodied boys at the corner here.
>> Yeah. They're always looking for work.
[53:26] They're always looking for work and for
money and not really showing up for
[53:30] work.
>> Yeah, you've asked
[53:35] » never
[53:50] » so I don't know. Um, John had asked
about the old tractor and that has been
[53:56] sold years ago.
[54:00] » They should have never sold that
tractor,
[54:03] » but they never sold that.
[54:08] » Biggest mistakes they ever made. So,
>> yeah. Question is, we need a good used
[54:14] one or do we try to fix our old one or
do we buy a new one?
[54:17] » Well, can you put a plow on an ATV? Yes.
I mean, would that is that the kind of
[54:23] thing you need,
>> but they're not designed for that?
[54:27] » To be honest with you, for the little
bit of snow that's going to need to be
[54:32] moved here after I'm done,
>> shovel
[54:34] » would be a shovel.
>> I wouldn't waste the money.
[54:38] » So, the one we have, I noticed that we
got some work done.
[54:42] » Yeah. And Mike said there's a cable
that's discontinued. He was gonna
[54:48] manufacture one, but that hasn't really
>> someone like Jonathan David might
[54:54] » I think he's going back to work at
November in November.
[54:59] » As far as I know, when we're away, if
there is a storm,
[55:05] Shel's got a new man
>> and he knows how to run track.
[55:10] » Oh, yeah. So, I figure
he's going to come over for me. Welcome
[55:16] to the family.
>> Does she know this?
[55:19] » Not yet. But I asked her, I said, "Is he
capable of driving tractor?"
[55:25] » Oh, yes.
[55:31] Surely between now and the first
snowfall, they'll find some able body
[55:36] person that can be dedicated to shovel
out for a couple hours. The other area
[55:42] would be um the path up to the dog park,
>> but it's going to be this.
[55:50] » I know that the dog park
>> the path the little path between the two
[55:57] flower beds going up.
>> No, I mean the the walkway that goes up.
[56:01] I blow that out
>> to the dog. Right up to the gate.
[56:05] » At the dog park.
>> Okay.
[56:07] » And then all we got to do is just shovel
around the gate. landing area and then
[56:11] the
area of the gate.
[56:15] » Yeah, that's all bomb.
>> Yeah, that's
[56:18] » snow wouldn't help you there.
>> Yeah, the pet friendly salt
[56:23] » put down
shovel and the salt and
[56:26] » I think
>> good shovel and a good able back.
[56:32] » That's all we need.
>> Speaking of the dog park, I noticed the
[56:35] one uh shelter is up.
Is that getting a cover?
[56:40] » Yeah.
[56:50] » Okay. Motion to secure.
[56:58] I think we're getting
[57:07] pressure.
[57:21] » This sheet metal has been ordered from
the uh by an Amish mill somewhere. how
[57:27] much they buy sheet metal and they mold
into roofing.
[57:31] » Oh, good.
>> Good price, I guess, according to Neil.
[57:34] So, Neil's got some stuff for the for
the roof. Don't worry, it will be a
[57:38] roof.
>> But that's sort of the depiction of it.
[57:42] » This was this was the Cadillac. That
person is
[57:48] » park shelter from the wind and the rain
and the sun.
[57:52] Is this for the dogs?
[57:59] » I was surprised they didn't put heated
seats in it.
[58:05] » Power
[58:11] running.
[58:15] » Maybe a little fridge.
>> Anyway, yeah, it looks great. It was a
[58:21] direct request from one of the one of
the users and everybody
[58:26] that whole thing over there. So
>> it's nice.
[58:31] » So we just move.
>> That's it.
[58:34] » Motion to we all
favor. That's always
[58:41] » Oh yes.
>> I forget that one every time.
[58:46] » All righty.
[58:54] What are we off?
>> Are we off?
