[0:00] That wasn't this one.

[0:05] » I actually swore at my computer for logging me out.

[0:08] » I was giving you a pretty stare notice, but

[0:12] » Oh, I noticed. >> Were you?

[0:14] » I picked up. >> You can feel the gingers now.

[0:22] » He just tried to look. You're too young to give me the look.

[0:25] » It doesn't scare ting out. That's what all I came up

[0:29] with. So, >> you've got years to practice the luck

[0:32] and that ain't it either. Nice try, though. Remember, I've lived

[0:37] with a bread head for 37 years. >> I was going to I was going to say you're

[0:46] » ready or we don't

[0:51] yelling about out there. >> Dinner.

[0:58] We got this little bites at the store. Make sure the same die for. They are so

[1:05] » I like them. They don't like them. >> Oh yeah.

[1:14] » Marvin, we just don't feel we have to sign some paperwork afterwards.

[1:19] » Don't let me forget to say. >> Okay. Yeah, I know. I'm do this every

[1:22] time. Let me forget. to tell me the room number. All right,

[1:27] it's 7 o'clock and call the meeting to order.

[1:32] Any agenda additions other than SIP grant on 9.5B?

[1:40] Somebody want to move with that? Sure. All in favor? Carried.

[1:47] Yes. None. Administration reports. >> Okay. I do not think public works was in

[1:53] the package when it went out last week. Oh, I did see it. Okay.

[1:57] » Um and Laura's was in there. So, I will just present mine. Um

[2:04] so, uh we've been attending the bi-weekly

[2:07] meetings for the 2026 infrastructure project for Frederick Avenue. Every two

[2:12] weeks and Wednesday, we were meeting here at 9:00.

[2:16] um had NPE review the 113 Frederick Avenue water flow issue at um Centergard

[2:22] Poultry Farmhouse in Frederick. Um they will be sending us

[2:28] some um thoughts on how to correct that that

[2:33] issue there. Um assisting Connect Mobility with the internet setup uh in

[2:38] the new subdivision off of Frederick Avenue. um to put the internet service

[2:44] on a telephone pole which required for assist participation and everything. So

[2:49] it is all done. We should not have an issue again. So we learned our lesson.

[2:54] Do not put any um major radios on a house um because then we have to rely on

[3:00] that house to always keep the connection for us. So now it is on the power pole.

[3:04] If it goes out it goes out because of power outage. Um to date, uh we have

[3:10] done quite a few cemetery interments, which is about six to date so far. Um

[3:17] we've been corresponding with the realtor for the sale of the municipal

[3:20] acquisition properties. We just have not had a chance to get together. Um one

[3:26] will call the meeting, the other one has to cancel. So it's it's in the works, so

[3:30] it's going to happen soon. uh replacement replacement of inoperable

[3:35] CC on the Broadway was done by Grace. We selected Graze to do this because it was

[3:40] too close to the building um and it required sidewalk removal etc. So um

[3:47] Graze is the experts at that so we let them do it. Um Ruby Rock will replace

[3:52] the concrete when they're finishing Frederick um sometime this week or next

[3:56] week. And they will also be replacing uh the ashvault that we had to dig up here

[4:02] in front of the office. And then they are giving me a price to do the ashvault

[4:07] um over to get rid of the concrete that's crumbling here and put an ashalt

[4:12] all the way to the door. So they said that's the cheapest option. Um ongoing

[4:18] we're still dealing with a complaint of uh smoke nuisance and dog barking. Um

[4:22] ICF research and meetings are ongoing. uh county transfer site agreements. Uh

[4:28] we meetings need to be set up and so the discussion could start on the

[4:32] collaboration and we are in transition to the Calgary

[4:36] 911 and they expect the Telus migration to be completed by December 10th

[4:42] curbside recycling bins are going to be arriving before October 1st and the

[4:47] first pickup is scheduled already for October 14th.

[4:51] Um, TNT Disposals is going to be the company that's going to be picking up

[4:55] the recycling if anybody's needs to know that. Um, and we're finalizing the step

[5:01] grant for the 2026 um, summer student program and the FCM feasibility study.

[5:08] We're just waiting for one more report and then we can submit that. MEGP grant

[5:13] for the solar is in its final steps and the Lions trees 12 Colorado blue spruces

[5:20] were planted at the sports ground and that finishes up planting trees for the

[5:23] year. Yay. Don't worry this year.

[5:27] » Any questions? >> Somebody wanted was there did they have

[5:31] a estimated date of completion for February?

[5:34] » Oh, sorry. That's going to come up in the federal. Oh, yeah. Okay.

[5:40] I'll move to accept all three.

[5:44] » Yeah.

[5:49] » Sorry. I thought I heard

[5:53] I heard 5.1

[5:57] minutes from July 29th.

[6:01] I'll make a motion to accept the minutes as presenters.

[6:03] » Um, one little point. Oh, sorry. I should have had this out. It's in my

[6:07] other one here. Um I did add into two motions um for this the

[6:14] close session the uh appraisal >> appraisal to add Valera Consulting into

[6:19] the motion. So that was all we did. I just added Valera into the motion so

[6:24] that we know that Valera did the consulting.

[6:26] » So the two as amended >> as amended.

[6:29] » So I'll make accept the minutes as amended. I heard you say I heard you say

[6:34] all in favor

[6:41] » unfinished business meeting standards by

[6:46] » uh we are again going to table this sorry

[6:50] » I'll move to table 61 all in favor

[6:55] » bylaw >> again we will be tableabling

[6:57] » table rat all in favor carried.

[7:04] » Same. >> Three.

[7:08] » Bryant. >> All in favor? Carried.

[7:13] MP project 2026. >> Okay. So,

[7:18] » go ahead. I just got questions. >> Okay. So, the meeting today um was to

[7:23] discuss the timeline and when we're going to be finishing and what needs to

[7:27] be finished, right? So um the projected date for completion will be September

[7:32] 30th if not before but that is the date that we gave ourselves today and within

[7:38] that there's a um there's no extra added time for MP or any room. So with all the

[7:43] extra projects that they've been taking on they balanced out the site. So, um,

[7:50] yeah, so September 30th, if not sooner, weather pending, right? Again, because

[7:54] they got to >> make sure they can't pull concrete if

[7:57] it's raining. And so, there's just the tie-ins for the concrete's that got to

[8:00] be done now and in front of reliable motors. So,

[8:04] » so on the concrete, I got a question. >> Yes.

[8:07] » In front of the post office. Why was that done that way?

[8:10] » Uh, because we wanted to put a wheelchair ramp in there.

[8:14] » Yeah. Okay. >> So, that actually I have the designs

[8:17] here. So that was to tie in to existing design that was already there. And this

[8:23] is the uh design for reliable motors. >> Okay, I'm good with that.

[8:27] » Yeah. >> So yeah,

[8:30] » I just couldn't figure out why it was like that. I thought

[8:33] » Yeah. So we're going to have the lines marked out. It's going to be for a

[8:36] wheelchair access versus them having to go out to because there is no ramp up

[8:42] there. It's just the curb, right? So >> go by a sign and put a

[8:46] » Oh, yeah. wheelchair access. Yes. >> Yeah.

[8:50] » So, I do have more another question I guess. Why is there very few barricades

[8:55] and stuff up? >> Like who's liable that sidewalk coming

[8:59] out of the post office? >> It's a like it's a drop off

[9:04] » under the road. >> Oh, I thought they it is

[9:07] » there's no barricade. There's very few barricades. Every morning they blow over

[9:11] whenever in the morning they're always blown over.

[9:14] » I and we have residents that are going and set them back up and I that is to me

[9:18] not acceptable that residents are >> okay I will call

[9:24] » well it's and you know what to be honest with

[9:27] you the way they have the road blocked off I'm surprised somebody hasn't tried

[9:31] to drive around the sign >> yeah I am going to be going for a

[9:35] walkabout tomorrow so I will take a look >> well I guess one question I have who's

[9:40] idle >> and they or

[9:43] » I just wanted to be sure that we're not >> Yeah, I would

[9:48] » question I have a question on reliable motors.

[9:52] » Yes. So, we're >> they say top soil and seed and they're

[9:58] redoing the entrance rightway. >> Yes. That's all village owned property

[10:03] » right up to the building. >> Right up to the building. Definitely.

[10:09] Say it again. Right up to the building. Yes. Okay.

[10:12] Yes. So, we worked with Reliable Motors to see what they needed done, but

[10:17] because there was always water issues going that way into the Shaw as it was.

[10:22] So, now they because they're not bringing in any more big trucks, we

[10:25] said, well, and it came down to where we're just going to the the sidewalk

[10:29] will be straight across and then they will ramp down into the reliable motor.

[10:33] So, all the water from now on will go to the road. And um again, I was hoping

[10:40] that the setback would have been a little bit further towards the building,

[10:44] but because of the sloping and the curb, it that's where it ended up. So, uh what

[10:52] I had in my mind and what is physically possible is two different things.

[10:57] » I never realized we're going to do the fancy grass. I thought it was just

[10:59] gravel. >> Well, and there could be lava rock. I

[11:03] mean, we do use lava rock everywhere else, but it's just

[11:06] » I'd rather use washed rock to be honest. >> Yeah. Something else.

[11:10] » Yeah. Because I mean, lava rock in here looks terrible.

[11:14] » Yeah. And anything to do with top soil. >> So, maybe this might be a place for

[11:18] maybe a different design. Maybe if we want to put rock just throw some

[11:26] in there. You needed to come out because of the slope.

[11:29] » Yeah. Well, the slow from the driveway, the approach, right? Number one. Um, so

[11:34] that the water flows away and down, right? So,

[11:39] » and and um we are putting the curb right through and then so then all this water

[11:44] that is usually going downhill is going to go down the street and then down into

[11:49] the ditches. So, everybody that's had problems with their sump pumps

[11:53] continuously running down there will that issue will hopefully be gone now.

[11:58] » So, okay. Yeah.

[12:00] » Okay. Anything else? >> Um,

[12:06] in regards to um, home services, they were the ones that

[12:13] went and did the connections for the temporary water services. Um, typically

[12:20] homeowners are supposed to their CC or their shut offs were not operable.

[12:27] So t typically the homeowner is responsible for that to repair, but we

[12:33] have two residents here um that refuse to pay.

[12:37] Um and I question whether or not this is a village issue or a resident issue.

[12:42] » It's inside their house. >> Yes,

[12:45] » it is their issue, not ours. >> Okay. So my next thought is we had to do

[12:54] this to connect them to the project. Is this their problem or is this our

[13:00] problem? >> Yeah, I get it.

[13:02] » Yeah. >> Is it like a lot of

[13:04] » Well, if they weren't going to pay for it, then we they shouldn't have

[13:08] » and they would have been without water period for about two months.

[13:11] » Well, that's their problem. I had to replace mine cuz it wouldn't

[13:16] open and close. I paid for it. What's the cost?

[13:20] » One is 34125 and the other one's 15225.

[13:28] » Unfortunately, I think the president has been sent like any other resident has

[13:33] had to change it because they don't want to change it or whatever else that

[13:37] doesn't I don't think that really gives an opportunity to push it back on the

[13:42] village.

[13:46] taking the small board over that. >> This has nothing to do with

[13:50] » keep things even though. So we've always if it's always been the resident's

[13:55] responsibility >> and if you don't do theirs then

[14:01] » or say a village pays for theirs then the village would have to pay for the

[14:05] entire street. Absolutely. And then what about the last project? You know what I

[14:10] mean? Or the next project the next project.

[14:13] » We're setting the precedence. We can't change the rules for one or two people.

[14:23] » Well, they pay >> so that the um home first services will

[14:29] be out of pocket. >> Could we could we not pay for the

[14:34] recover through property tax? That's fair. Can we not put all the property?

[14:39] » I can inquire. I am not sure about that. It is to do

[14:44] with the property, but unfortunately it's to do with the inside of the house.

[14:49] » Okay. But >> the worst comes the worst to meet you.

[14:51] You can lean the house. >> Yeah. But let's play devil's advocate.

[14:56] So that neighbor talks to their neighbor and says, "Hey, I just told them I

[15:00] didn't want to pay for it." And the village paid for it. So then says,

[15:03] "Well, hey, >> I'm not paying for mine." And then, you

[15:07] know, >> it's just a chain reaction. it goes down

[15:10] and then all of a sudden everybody else says, "Hey, I want my money back because

[15:13] you're obviously paying for it." >> Yeah.

[15:15] » You know, so it it it's a requirement of the job.

[15:21] » I think that she just needs to find out >> how to recover

[15:25] » how to recover it. >> Okay.

[15:26] » Yeah. >> We can't make like

[15:30] we can't make assumptions. It has to be blank.

[15:34] We have to we have to he needs to get paid.

[15:38] » Yeah. But it shouldn't come out of our other rate payers pocket, but they us.

[15:43] » No. Okay. >> No.

[15:45] » So maybe we could just get a motion to have us um

[15:49] » I'll move for you to do some research on whether we can put it under tax

[15:54] recovery.

[15:59] » All in favor?

[16:03] Is that it from? >> Um yes. So, I got you guys all seen the

[16:08] pictures. Um, yeah.

[16:12] » So, do you want to make a motion to accept his information or make motion?

[16:17] » Sorry, your hand was sore. Richard favor

[16:25] » legal correspondence email agreements for land donation.

[16:29] » Okay. So I think this is going to be the final

[16:32] um agreements that we will be looking at

[16:36] and signing. So there is the um I did send it to legal so there was um the

[16:41] conversation and I replied back um to all his questions. Um the only thing he

[16:47] wanted to make sure that council was aware of is like this property that

[16:51] we're taking on is asis in its conditions whatever.

[16:56] » Yeah. Mhm. if there's anything like we're just using it for stockpiling

[17:01] piles right now and that it actually it's been like that for many years.

[17:06] » There's no contamination. >> Uh we don't know that, right?

[17:10] » But there's holes there. >> There's site test there's test sites

[17:15] » there. Yeah. So as far as you have to disclose if there was

[17:18] » Yeah. And we did get the report in 2020 two or 2021.

[17:23] Uh yes, we received a copy of the RMA which is the um

[17:30] oh sorry

[17:42] » yeah we don't want to take on something that's going to come back

[17:46] we wouldn't know if there is a sample they do it says here in section He says

[17:53] that all lab results disclosed to the village shall be treated as conventional

[17:57] information training shelter bearing in the terms of the agreement.

[18:01] » So we'll have to they'll have to obviously

[18:04] » disclose disclose everything. So I don't see a problem.

[18:09] » Okay. >> And they did do that huge report a few

[18:12] years ago and so all right. So yeah we need four

[18:17] different motions basically. So the first one is to um sign the ax easement

[18:23] and access agreement. >> Richard, all in favor? Carried.

[18:30] » And then the next one would be to the restrictive covenant.

[18:37] Sorry. >> Yeah. I I like restrictive. Okay, I'll

[18:41] make a favor.

[18:45] Car >> and acknowledge

[18:50] acknowledgement. >> Acknowledgement. Thank you.

[18:54] » Restricted favor.

[18:58] » Amen. Amending agreement. >> Yes.

[19:02] » So the amending agreement to sign the amending agreement. I'll

[19:06] » have a guess where I am. All in favor? carried

[19:12] » 66 curbside recycling public utility bylaw.

[19:16] » Okay. So, as curbside recycling is going to be commencing, our public utility

[19:22] bylaw allows residents to um dispose of five bags of garbage a week with the

[19:29] curbside recycling. I actually printed this off just before you guys came in.

[19:34] Uh there is so much recycling that they will take. You can just look at what

[19:39] they don't take. It's going to be a lot >> that they don't

[19:45] they do take. >> So basically, I mean, you're looking at

[19:50] what they don't take. Diapers, toys, books.

[19:52] » So it's going to be kind of hard for um Martin, right? Just depends what

[20:00] you know. I open your mouth and jar. Don't

[20:04] » batteries, paper towel, organics, ceramics, clothing, garden hose, propane

[20:09] tanks, and hazardous aerosols. So, but everything else basically toothpaste

[20:14] tubes like you rinse it out. I'm not sure about the toothpaste tube. I

[20:18] haven't gone right into that one, but like hand lotion bottles, just rinse

[20:21] them out, throw them in there, put the caps back on, throw them in. Yeah,

[20:25] everything pretty well is caps back on. like rinse it cap on in the garbage.

[20:31] Um tin foil, um the the clamshells, like everything. So what we're asking is to

[20:39] reduce the amount of garbage in our utility bylaw to maybe two bags a week

[20:44] and float for >> people to use their recycling.

[20:47] » Yes. If we allow them to continue doing five bags, they won't recycle.

[20:51] » But the trouble is in the past guys would still pick them up. No, we we had

[20:56] a discussion today and we had said that we would not be

[21:01] » if we go down to two then we stay at two and that means doesn't mean if it's

[21:04] going to sit there for a week. >> We would also like to have um tags that

[21:10] they could come and purchase from the village office if they want extra

[21:14] pickups and then we could just have that in our where they would just purchase an

[21:18] ext.

[21:23] » Yes. And that's the other option, right? >> That's where does their

[21:29] » you go. I think it's it used to be two bucks a bag. It's probably five or 10

[21:33] bucks a bag. And you just get a little sticker and you stick it on the bag.

[21:37] » Yeah. >> The bill makes 10.

[21:41] » So instead of the stickers or tags, can we not go ahead change the bylaws to

[21:49] two bags? If somebody puts out three bags,

[21:53] I don't want to leave it on the street, birds, everything else getting into it.

[21:58] So, say you take the three bags and then they get a notice on the door. They had

[22:03] one extra bag, it's $10. Um, pay, you know, whatever write up you have for the

[22:10] tag. >> Yep.

[22:11] » And then if they don't pay it, it goes on their taxes at the end of the year.

[22:15] » Yeah. So, we can we can address it that way. No problem. And then people will

[22:21] start >> adhereing to the amount of bags allowed.

[22:26] » Yeah. >> I don't know. I don't know. But then you

[22:28] got to go back to their house and put a >> No. When when they pick up

[22:32] » Right. Then >> Oh, I see.

[22:34] » They pick up three bags. They'll take the three bags and then they put a

[22:37] sticker on their door. Right there. >> On the door.

[22:40] » You You have one extra bag. That's a $10 fee payable this way. or it goes on your

[22:45] taxes and or maybe it's $15 on your taxes because it's extra work, right?

[22:50] » Yeah. >> Or they can pay the village office

[22:52] within 10 days, you know, >> whatever write up you have a little tag

[22:58] » and it just goes right on their door. It's just taken care of quicker and we

[23:02] don't have garbage sitting out on the street. That's not fair to the other.

[23:06] » No, no, I get it. >> Or more work for public works.

[23:09] » Well, that's what I'm looking at. So if they got to run, I think it's I think it

[23:14] should be just put out to everybody that here's what it is.

[23:17] » Yeah. >> And it's two bags. And if you if you

[23:19] want, you can spend 10 bucks and pick up another bag. But I think it needs to be

[23:24] put out to them, right? >> Yeah. Absolutely.

[23:26] » What about Sorry. What about if we did kind of both? You get to buy the tags in

[23:32] the office for five bucks. If there's no tags, then it's 10 because that covers

[23:38] the cost of the public works. have to go do the the slip for the door and

[23:43] everything else. And that's also the penalty for them. You come up, you buy a

[23:48] pack of, you know, four or five stickers, tags, whatever else. You go

[23:53] over, you put on five bucks a tag. If you don't want to do that and you just

[23:57] want to throw it out, make them deal with it, then it's 10 bucks.

[24:01] » Yeah, I'm good with that. >> Yeah, I'm just thinking this might be a

[24:04] little early for this discussion. No, I I till you see what happens with this

[24:08] recycling and then make your changes. Maybe we don't need to make a change.

[24:14] » I I know there's some people like right now James is saying they're like seven

[24:19] bags and they're just chronically >> already over.

[24:22] » Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Well, you know, I

[24:25] » I think there'll have to be a grace period. Absolutely. You know, like 30

[24:29] days or 45 days or whatever else. >> Yeah. But just to say yes, at the end of

[24:33] this date, it'll be too bad maximum.

[24:40] » I was just kind of asking as far as a public works perspective goes,

[24:45] what are the like I understand not leaving garbage out, but what if we were

[24:50] to uh leave it out for 24 hours and if it's not gone by 24 hours, we take it.

[24:55] » Well, what Okay, so we have a weight restriction on a bag.

[24:58] » Nothing over 50 pounds. So, what do we do with it when it's over 50 lbs?

[25:02] » It has to be It's supposed to be left behind and tagged as too heavy, right?

[25:06] » So, we're already leaving bags if they're overweight.

[25:10] » See, what need >> Yeah.

[25:12] » What needs to happen is, okay, say I'm the one that put a bag out or I put four

[25:18] bags out and we can only get two. >> James needs to come here and say

[25:26] he he left two bags out. Do you have contacts for everybody in town?

[25:30] » You contact them and say, >> right?

[25:36] » I don't know. >> I was trying to think of the

[25:41] least amount of labor running around.

[25:45] » It'll be a form letter that's already completed that's already started. And

[25:49] James has to put the address, the date, and the amount of bags that he left

[25:55] behind us extra or took us extra for the first maybe like, you know, for October,

[26:00] right? So, but I mean, as long as we can give people ample warning.

[26:05] » Well, why don't we start right now >> with getting it out that we are changing

[26:10] it to two bags maximum >> because of the curbside recycling.

[26:14] » Curbside recycling and then we'll go for >> free to everybody, right? Mhm.

[26:18] » If we start finding that it's and then we can change it.

[26:22] » Okay. >> But at least if we start advertising

[26:24] that right now. >> Absolutely.

[26:25] » Yeah. >> And you know, as long as you guys set

[26:30] the amount, the limit, then we can address the overages and stuff like

[26:34] that. I don't think that really needs to come back to you guys. We will deal with

[26:38] it in letters and maybe like you said, um, fines,

[26:43] » right? I will make a motion that we reduce our bag pickup garbage starting

[26:47] October 1st to two bags maximum. >> First pickup is until 14th.

[26:53] » Okay, you guys pick the date. >> What are we 14

[27:03] » that would give them that would give them a uh recycling days.

[27:07] » Okay, a day's worth of recycling.

[27:11] » My motion in November 1st. to November 1st.

[27:15] » Yeah, starting November 1st be two bags maxing.

[27:19] » Okay. And what's our we just recycling?

[27:26] » Blue get bin. Yeah. >> Okay. So, we'll redo this bylaw and

[27:30] bring it back to the um October council meeting for approval for two bags.

[27:41] » Okay. All in favor?

[27:46] » Oh, sorry. Martin, thank you.

[27:50] » So, real quick, I just had one question that was that was asked about the the

[27:56] paper and cardboard. Does it matter if it's red?

[28:01] » Um, that will be if you go on to this um circular materials.ca/standard,

[28:07] it will have more detailed information there,

[28:10] » okay? on all this stuff. So, um yeah. >> Well, it can't need to be shredded

[28:16] because not everybody has shredded. >> Well, no, but they were No, but what

[28:19] they were asking is that if they put like their personal documents through

[28:22] the shredder and then in a bag for recycling, will it be picked up then or

[28:27] will they not? >> Oh, I see.

[28:28] » Like they were going to bag it and tie it, but they just want to make sure we

[28:31] get picked up. >> Yeah. Cardboard.

[28:34] » Fill that blue bin up awful fast. >> Yeah. Paper and cardboard. Um, so there

[28:39] is a category in there. So, but um definitely I will inquire because we're

[28:43] still talking back and forth with the um um shredded paper I'll put here.

[28:51] » And what was the the scheduled how many recycling pickups?

[28:56] » Um every other week. >> Every other week. Every Wednesday.

[29:00] » Yeah. By weekly. >> Have your cardi.

[29:04] » Yeah. >> Okay.

[29:06] I just happen to know you

[29:12] the only thing I know

[29:16] because here

[29:23] » All right, moving on.

[29:27] » Financial reports. >> Yeah, the only one that's not ready was

[29:30] August. Sorry. So, but June and July have been completed.

[29:36] in the package. >> Any questions on June?

[29:44] Brandice. All in favor? Carried. Any questions on July?

[29:53] I move July. All in favor? Carried. Obviously.

[30:01] » He is not. He doesn't. It's just not completed. So yeah, it's fine. No.

[30:05] » Okay. Correspondence.

[30:10] » She'll be pressed. >> Yeah. This is just in correspondence.

[30:17] It's not something that we would >> No. If there's anything of importance,

[30:22] launch update, project update.

[30:30] Alls I can tell you is we didn't get approved this time.

[30:34] But others matter because the rest of it was in camera.

[30:40] » But when I say this,

[30:44] » what was in launch update one? >> It um

[30:55] positive. >> There's Yeah, there's

[31:00] there's positive things coming. Very nice.

[31:03] » Submitted an application. No federal funding available for this type of

[31:06] project. Landscape is changing including the

[31:10] transition from CHC to build Canada homes.

[31:17] » I wish I could tell you more than that >> because I was pretty happy with our last

[31:24] meeting. So, >> hey, we want to move correspondent says

[31:31] information. I'll go ahead and do that. >> All in favor? Carried.

[31:36] New business policies.

[31:40] We approve that. >> Approve that.

[31:46] We want to move that. We'll make all in favor.

[31:53] Three year five three year operating 5year capital not completed.

[32:00] » Correct. We'll just table it till next meeting.

[32:02] » Anyone move to table? All in favor

[32:08] transfer site agreement. >> Yeah, we were meeting got postponed and

[32:14] so it's not completed yet. So we can just table it.

[32:20] » And all in favor council enumeration.

[32:25] Yeah, we put this on here because I think people were a little confused on

[32:29] what consisted of a meeting um timeline and so just to confirm that everybody

[32:35] like um if you're attending an MPC meeting is different than attending

[32:40] council meeting. Correct. So that would just be a quick meeting like what we did

[32:44] today would be $40, right? And then the regular meeting would then move to the

[32:50] regular um renumeration fee. Um, so just to make sure that everybody's on board,

[32:56] but if if we do have where we do because everybody was doing different things.

[33:00] Some people charge for stars, some people didn't. So I think it's within

[33:05] council that we all every time we do book something that we say, okay, is

[33:09] this a regular council meeting or it isn't. So we decide right then and there

[33:13] if it is or not and then we can record that.

[33:15] » Okay. >> Um, yeah. And then we don't have to go

[33:18] back and forth and figure out is it was this a meeting approved or not. So,

[33:22] we'll just do it that way. >> Okay.

[33:24] » Um >> certainly if there were any questions on

[33:26] the renumeration sheets, you addressed it with the individuals.

[33:30] » Oh, yes. Okay. >> Yeah. No, but we got the other one

[33:33] figured out. And then Yeah. And then mileage or not mileage. Yeah. So, if you

[33:37] drive um >> to the meeting and come back to

[33:41] standard, that's mileage. Um yeah, I was confused on one.

[33:46] » I'm just sitting here looking to be honest with you. I know you and I had

[33:51] the conversation about stars and I thought, well,

[33:54] » yeah, >> but it it really is a council.

[33:57] » Yeah. >> So, yeah, it should have been.

[34:00] » So, we'll address that each each time we say, "Okay, we're going." It is a

[34:04] council function and it's >> we do all have to be on the same page.

[34:07] Yeah. Yeah.

[34:10] » Yeah. >> Yeah. I didn't put it down and she asks

[34:12] me and I don't know. I just wanted to go. I didn't put down, but that's cuz I

[34:16] didn't go.

[34:20] » So anyway, I think that'll be just our process that if we if we say we're going

[34:25] to this meeting that Yes, it's Yeah. regular council

[34:29] » just have that transparency for everybody here.

[34:32] » Okay. And it just make our like job. >> Do you want to accept information on

[34:37] that? >> Yes. Um

[34:39] pretty quickly this happen. All in favor? Carry.

[34:46] ACP grant. >> Okay. So, the 2026 2027 um applications

[34:53] are out to go out again by October 1st. They don't give you much time. Um so, we

[35:00] need a motion from council to um participate. Sorry. Uh I didn't print

[35:10] off that. Can you go print off that one? You'll have to go on my computer though.

[35:14] » And that's this is a stamp. >> No, this is uh Alberta Community um

[35:20] partnership. >> So, this is the one that we need to

[35:24] have. >> Is that from right?

[35:26] » No, >> it was from um

[35:30] » Maryanne. >> Maryanne.

[35:31] » Yeah, Maryanne. Sorry. She's got the She sent me the

[35:36] motion and I It's uh went to admin instead of CIO.

[35:42] Um so this is one we partner with county um

[35:47] and they never usually um contribute towards it. It's usually the village

[35:52] that would be putting the funds towards it's a 90 10 um grant.

[35:58] So we would be if we put in for the 150 we would be responsible for like 16,000.

[36:04] So >> a motion.

[36:07] » Yeah. So and then the next one is the stip grant. So, I just took it off in my

[36:12] consent agenda because it was we were denied, but it's now ready for the

[36:16] second round. >> Okay. So, we'll deal with 95 first.

[36:19] » Uh, well, yeah, I'm just waiting for the motion. She's got Yeah, she said

[36:23] » there's a specific motion that needs to be read. So, sorry.

[36:27] » Is it for all of them together or just >> just for the ACP grant?

[36:30] » Who wants to make this predetermined motion?

[36:35] » Uh, it seems reasonable, please. Okay.

[36:39] » It's just a grant, right? So, you can fill it out.

[36:43] » All in favor?

[36:46] » And so then the next one is the STIP just came in. Um it is um deadline for

[36:53] November 30th. So again, I'd like to get it in early and they're just letting us

[36:58] know that if we want to resubmit in our applications, if we haven't been

[37:02] approved um to do so and just adjust your budget numbers for funding in 2027.

[37:09] So um that >> yeah. Okay. So I will do that

[37:17] » and this is for the strategic transportation infrastructure program

[37:21] grant that we were doing which was for our industrial work.

[37:24] » So

[37:29] » okay so I I provided you a little bit of information on the table today. Um

[37:37] we we've gone back and forth about franchise fees for many many years. Um

[37:42] today I included in the first page Sunny had a very good um comments about why

[37:48] the village should charge trans uh franchise fees. Sorry.

[37:55] Um so basically it comes down to um

[38:02] insure tax exempt entities like schools, churches, government buildings

[38:07] contribute through their electricity use. So all these people, they don't pay

[38:11] property taxes, but they could assist in the franchise fee with with um being um

[38:20] charged the franchise fee, whatever you guys decide. Right now it's 4% onto

[38:26] Foris and ATCO. So both of them actually I'm lucky

[38:31] they're coming up at the same time. So this is good because it has to go

[38:35] through public advertising. It's processed. So that's why we have to look

[38:38] at it now for 2027.

[38:43] So if you look at the um I think it was um

[38:50] a pass gives you the timeline it was in your package of everything that needs to

[38:54] be done. Yeah, we have to follow all that otherwise in that it doesn't apply.

[39:00] I also provided you um I did the breakdown already of the percentages

[39:05] that would be um >> yeah and I also indicated to you which

[39:12] how much property taxes they also pay. So

[39:17] so ACO pays the property taxes which is probably still transferred back to all

[39:22] the residents in some sort of manner. We just don't know how. But um the

[39:27] franchise fee, it's very transparent. It is on the bill and it it it says

[39:34] goes right towards Oh, thank you. >> Well, I have to say I actually disagree

[39:40] with that statement that you mentioned about the reason that it's a good reason

[39:46] to have the >> because I think if those entities that

[39:51] aren't paying taxes There's a reason they're not paying

[39:55] taxes. So why are we trying to get them to pay part of that? I think that's

[40:03] that's backhanded. Like either we're wanting them to contribute that way or

[40:09] they're exempt for the church

[40:15] » in standard. It's the church. >> Nobody.

[40:20] » We are the government building. >> Yeah.

[40:23] There is no school in town.

[40:28] That's true. >> So, and and those numbers did show you

[40:32] the revenue that it would create based on their projected numbers for 2027,

[40:37] right?

[40:53] Um so when you were okay another one that

[40:57] he's got here too is when when you look at increasing

[41:01] uh franchise fees on this side it doesn't increase you can then keep your

[41:06] property taxes lower. Um,

[41:11] » yeah, it just I mean it's always >> you're taking from Peter to Paul

[41:15] basically like right >> well there's it's done money on your

[41:20] taxes or you're getting done. >> So that really is a Yeah, it's nothing

[41:25] to be saying that doesn't make sense to knock their property taxes down but then

[41:30] we have to franchise >> still

[41:37] that's all. Yeah. >> So you have higher users would be more

[41:41] responsible for the you know >> that fee, right?

[41:45] » The people that are the higher users. So they're still going to pay.

[41:48] » You have even some businesses that are >> still paying 4% on 100,000 is more than

[41:53] 4% on a thousand. >> Yeah.

[41:55] » They're still paying their percentage, right?

[41:57] » Yeah. >> So that's totally up to council. So

[42:01] right now we sit at 4 both, right? Well, if you want to make any changes, this is

[42:07] where it needs to be. Start the process for next year

[42:12] at the latest. I think if you want to um I'm just seeing here what the latest is

[42:18] here. >> I've never been a huge fan of the

[42:23] franchise we sell, but >> no, the 4% just it's not it doesn't add

[42:29] up to much, but it just brings in a little bit of revenue for us.

[42:34] And I'm I don't but raising it, but I don't want to go back to zero either. I

[42:41] think it makes sense just to keep it consistent.

[42:46] » Would you look at some of these places? >> An average of 4%

[42:51] » um estimated rate >> for a resident would be like about $320

[42:58] a month >> for 4%.

[42:59] » Yeah, that's what 4% is approximately. like just a basic, right? Rate 11.

[43:09] » Well, I definitely I definitely would not be in favor of raising it

[43:12] » and if you guys are really >> um I just want to go

[43:17] » in favor of keeping the same. >> It kind of evens out the middle there.

[43:22] You guys have something else to make.

[43:27] I'll make the motion we do not change the franchise fees and keep that status

[43:33] quo. All in favor carried

[43:38] half masking policy. >> Yeah, we've had because of uh certain

[43:43] residents passing but I think we should develop a policy on who we lower the

[43:51] school. So something to think about that we will

[43:57] » I have first responders is highly important I don't think residents I'm

[44:05] sorry but it's always only been uh government

[44:09] » elected officials >> elected officials and first responders

[44:12] and that's >> that's the way that's my belief killed

[44:18] in the line of duty that's right Yeah.

[44:22] » Yeah. I think >> okay. So we we'll just develop it and

[44:24] then this question goes away and if somebody like I said calls say well our

[44:28] policy is that it's >> last month we we'd be raising a lower

[44:32] and nothing >> it'd be half bounced all August.

[44:37] » Yeah. >> And then how where do you determine who

[44:41] and what are the parameters? >> Three people died.

[44:46] » Yeah. >> And one person asked about are we

[44:48] lowering the map for for this person? >> Yeah. What about the other?

[44:52] » Yeah. >> Yeah.

[44:52] » And the other people that >> And the other people

[44:54] » quiet lived here for 50 years with them.

[44:58] » Well, somebody moved in here and lived here a month and nobody knew

[45:02] » whether it's a legacy family or not. Even if that individual moved to the

[45:05] property in the past, not

[45:10] » I I agree with you sticking with office. >> People feel

[45:16] agree. >> Okay. So, we'll just um

[45:18] » bring something. Okay. Get a motion. >> Sure, I'll do that. Brian did it.

[45:26] All in favor removal.

[45:31] » Okay. So, we have a tree in the boulevard that is apparently um

[45:39] » what? >> Second Street and Frederick or Elsenor

[45:45] Avenue. Sorry, I've got pictures here. So, um, so this tree is apparently right

[45:52] over the sewer line.

[45:56] » Oh,

[45:59] » who planted it? >> I don't know.

[46:02] » It's been there for >> property though.

[46:04] » Yeah. >> So, typically boulevards are the

[46:08] responsibility of the homeowner to take care of. Mhm.

[46:12] » Um, so if that is council's policy, then the homeowner would like to take the

[46:18] tree down to or remove the tree so that they can remove this the roots going

[46:25] into sewer line. So >> the homeowner wants to do that.

[46:30] » Yes. Well, he he would like if the village would assist, but I

[46:35] » I know that the residents are responsible for maintenance in the

[46:39] boulevard, but whether a tree See this is

[46:42] » I don't know had this argument before. >> So the village didn't plant the tree,

[46:47] » but it's on our property. >> Yeah.

[46:50] » So then we're responsible for tearing it down and that cost.

[46:56] » Yeah. >> I think he said he'd take it down.

[46:57] » Yeah, I think he will take it down. But he wants permission because it is in the

[47:01] boulevard to >> if that's the permission to cut it down

[47:06] as long as it's not. Yeah. >> Yeah.

[47:09] back to what was the reason for removing the tree?

[47:12] » It's right over it. So, because it's so but at the same time, James actually

[47:18] thinks it's this tree back here that's giving the roots.

[47:21] » That's a spruce tree that's right there, right?

[47:23] » Yeah. >> Spruce trees don't go down 8 feet.

[47:26] » Yeah. So, James actually thinks it's this one back here.

[47:29] » That one. >> So, maybe we investigate more where the

[47:34] Yeah. >> behind it.

[47:37] probably. >> Yeah, I think so.

[47:40] » I don't see anything exit.

[47:43] » It's right here. Right.

[47:48] That top screw is right over top. >> It's right here.

[47:57] » We have the wrong >> We had the same discussion here.

[48:00] » Right there. There's Yeah, but see that's

[48:02] » we had a lady saying that it was the spruce trees

[48:07] » and I we had an arborist come out and I said to him flat out so this is in her

[48:13] sewer line. Is it those trees or is it that popler tree? And he said I'll 100%

[48:17] guarantee it will not be the spruce trees. It be the popler tree.

[48:21] » Yeah. >> Cuz he said those popler roots they'll

[48:24] go across the street. >> Oh yeah.

[48:27] » But I don't care if he wants to take it out. I Well, you can kind of see it and

[48:31] it is kind of dark, but >> back over there by the house. Okay.

[48:34] Yeah. Yeah. Whatever that tree is. >> There's a tree right here.

[48:38] » Yeah. >> That's the tree.

[48:40] » Well, this is >> Well, that's on his property.

[48:42] » And that's on Yeah, that's on their property. This is the tree in question.

[48:45] » Well, that's Yeah. >> And that's also six years ago. So, that

[48:48] tree is >> I'm fine. Just give permission.

[48:50] » Yeah. Love it. Cut it down. >> Yeah. And then like I said if the popper

[48:54] comes back to create a problem on this there's dark anyway. So that gets us

[48:58] into >> he removes the spruce there. So the

[49:00] problem is I'll give you a little hint. When you cut trees down and tell him

[49:06] this if he's going to leave the stump for a while you drill up about 12 holes

[49:09] in it and you pour Epsom salts in the hole.

[49:12] » Yeah. >> And you keep doing that and wetting that

[49:14] Epsom salts down. And I've in two years we've have no suckers coming.

[49:21] So, um, go back on the elsewhere, the gravel.

[49:32] » So, you're talking about that little one on the front corner.

[49:34] » Yeah. >> Yeah.

[49:35] » Well, it may be >> that's 23. So, that's two years ago.

[49:39] » Yeah.

[49:42] » It's quite possible. >> Look at the the shoots that we get up

[49:46] here in the driveway and it's coming from these trees. Yes, I don't.

[49:51] » No,

[49:54] » the the sewer line goes in at that angle into this house.

[49:58] » It's I think it's actually the water line. Well, I don't know.

[50:02] » Well, it was blue, but >> yeah, it was blue paint. Blue is water.

[50:06] » That's water. >> Yeah.

[50:09] » If he wants to replace it, he takes >> I really It really don't matter to me.

[50:14] He wants to take it down and pay the cost of it.

[50:18] So, but the one he's asking for is >> that one right there.

[50:22] » Yeah, it's one >> right there.

[50:25] That's the one in question. >> Yeah.

[50:27] » See, your sewer and water are going to be basically in the same spot. So, if

[50:31] they come out at an angle, it's the sewer will be there, too.

[50:39] » Well, within the near vicinity. >> Yeah. It's repeat.

[50:42] » Yeah. Yeah. Because they can't be side by side. Yeah, they can depend on how it

[50:51] » Yeah, >> I don't care.

[50:55] » Somebody make a motion to allow homeowner to remove the

[50:58] » I'll make the motion to allow to the res to remove the tree in question

[51:03] » in the boulevard. >> In the boulevard

[51:07] » at his cost. >> At his cost. At his cost.

[51:11] Right. It's carried.

[51:16] LGA agreement. >> Okay.

[51:21] » So, this is to do with the um council 911.

[51:26] So, this agreement here, the LGA, which is the local government authority, which

[51:32] is council, must designate a local registration authority, LRA. Um the L

[51:38] will be responsible for determining and managing which users will be authorized

[51:42] to access the NG 911 network. So this person, this is going to be Calgary 911

[51:49] is going to be our L. So we just have to designate.

[52:00] » Well, we've already made a motion to go to Calgary 911 anyway.

[52:04] » That's correct. Yeah. So this is just to Why do we need to make another motion?

[52:08] » Uh this is what tell us you have sorry this is um

[52:12] » okay sorry >> so Oh yeah no because because of the

[52:17] staffs and everything that we have to >> um

[52:22] » I will move that motion.

[52:29] » Okay. All in favor

[52:34] carry.

[52:37] Call to action. You need support. >> Sorry, there was two different emails

[52:41] that came in. And so the last meeting we just uh as information, but it was uh

[52:47] actually the letter. So the call to action letters to if if you want to

[52:52] participate in sending this letter to the premiere and what happens is they

[52:57] put your logo on there, village standard. Um, so basically it's

[53:01] everything to do with the policing, uh, the changes to the policing, the public

[53:05] safety across the province. So if you had a chance to read it, um, that was

[53:11] the letter that they had drafted. Do you want to participate?

[53:23] Again, these are some of the things that we probably should be participating in

[53:27] if we want to keep the RCMP. Um,

[53:32] yeah,

[53:36] » I'm good with participating in it. Doesn't cost us anything.

[53:39] » No, just says you support >> Yeah, support the work. Yeah.

[53:43] » Yeah. I'll make the motion.

[53:48] » All in favor? Halloween carnival.

[53:54] So, we have a village of standard parent committee and they are requesting

[54:01] um to assist them with putting on the first

[54:07] um village of standard community Halloween carnival Saturday, October

[54:11] 31st for local children and families. So, they're looking for a donation

[54:18] of the village. Again, this goes

[54:27] Well, again, we don't do donations to individual groups.

[54:33] » We sponsored >> Yeah, we sponsor

[54:35] » an event. Yes, >> but that's different.

[54:40] » It's to provide a safe, welcoming, and festive space for families to gather

[54:44] before or during trick-or-treating. >> I was volunteer, but I

[54:53] Um, so

[54:57] I I see again the the slippery slope. I mean, everybody's got a great idea.

[55:04] Everybody wants to do things and um so they have their hand up, right?

[55:11] » Yeah. We can't

[55:16] I couldn't say have spend village resident or taxation dollars

[55:24] » to any particular one group that's for >> a small group of people you know

[55:32] » um

[55:36] » and when we do things like the Christmas thing or something that's

[55:41] the village itself or this office putting on something for

[55:45] the community for the whole community. Um this again it's still in a particular

[55:53] group of individuals right >> um I mean it's a great idea um

[56:00] but I don't think that's the use of our taxation dollars and

[56:08] what I would actually like to see instead of I would like for us to

[56:14] develop a policy a donation policy Mhm. >> So that

[56:20] when these requests come to the office, a vet can deal with

[56:26] » these otherwise every letter that comes to the office then comes to this table

[56:30] and then we have the discussion and it's the same thing.

[56:34] » Yeah. >> But if we have uh a policy in place that

[56:38] says we do not >> donate to

[56:43] Yeah. >> groups in the village. Could we donate

[56:48] something like a copy like advertisement?

[56:52] » Oh, yeah. Well, that Yeah, >> it wouldn't cost us.

[56:54] » No, no. So, we could support them through um printing. Um

[57:00] » I don't know. I think support and and donation are two very differenti

[57:05] scenarios. >> Support, sponsorship, and donation.

[57:08] Those are all three very different uh >> correct. So, I think we need to kind of

[57:13] dabble on the support side. And this is a request

[57:18] quote for donation. >> Yeah,

[57:21] » exactly. >> Yeah.

[57:35] big I made a motion not um

[57:41] » well how about we make a motion to for to create a donation policy

[57:47] » that would definitely be my >> yeah and then from there we will address

[57:51] this >> in that in that policy could we not have

[57:55] kind of as Martin said that we can We do we do not make a donation but we can

[58:00] show support in assisting with >> their

[58:04] assist nonprofit groups with printing. >> Yes.

[58:07] » And >> because I

[58:08] » this isn't a nonprofit. >> Uh

[58:10] » no that's what I'm here's my question. >> Okay.

[58:15] » So I don't know I don't know this Stephanie Bryant.

[58:21] » Yeah. >> Yeah. They've been in the community for

[58:23] a while. >> Okay. But so we have one person

[58:28] sent us a letter. Hey, there's village parents. So, they do it one year and

[58:33] they make a whole bunch of money and then they decide we're not doing that.

[58:37] Where's that money? >> Right. Where's the money they made from

[58:42] last year? >> Yeah.

[58:45] because I know other areas that have done something like this

[58:50] 30 years ago and the money is still sitting in a bank account

[58:54] » because the lady that opened the bank account

[59:01] » you know so there's no I know everybody says well you should trust people but

[59:08] sorry >> I agree with that

[59:12] » not today's day before people die first come

[59:16] about that >> given the circumstances.

[59:19] » Yes. >> Anyway, we got a motion on the floor

[59:23] about this. So, >> yeah. So, that the village cannot

[59:28] donate

[59:32] » you can write it tomorrow. Yeah. >> All in favor decre.

[59:40] » So that we cams assist with >> Yeah. in order to remain neutral. We

[59:44] don't do donations, but we can offer you support.

[59:48] » Okay. >> Reports.

[59:50] » Yeah. >> Sorry. We made a second motion at all

[59:53] and must like respond to the don. >> No, it'll be your guys's job to do.
