finance [Music] 26 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:36,239 that's the way i will turn this over to you i think first we are going to start 27 00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:42,160 with uh liza has discussion for us on the mural 28 00:02:39,519 --> 00:02:44,959 agreement and the oil museum project for my recommendations 29 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:49,599 okay are you there 30 00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:54,000 yeah can you guys hear me okay we can okay i'm sorry i just don't want my 31 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:58,319 video when i'm using zoom on my iphone is all makes it a little 32 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:03,200 less good so i'm just gonna keep my video up off if that's okay okay 33 00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:07,760 um so first the mural agreement so i think 34 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:11,920 a copy of it's been distributed to you so this is the agreement between us and 35 00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:15,200 the artist now um 36 00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:20,000 you're you'll remember that we presented an agreement between the town of verdan 37 00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:24,400 and the building owners for the murals and recommendation from council was to 38 00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:28,640 have that mural or that agreement vetted by the lawyer so previous to 39 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:34,000 bringing this agreement to you we did have the agreement vetted by the lawyer 40 00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:38,959 to go through um basically just outlines the obligations of the artist 41 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:44,840 um of ourselves and how we're going to pay this artist and if they can't 42 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:51,599 complete the work to let us know and um they would have first opportunity if 43 00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:54,159 um there was any damages to repl to fix on the mural 44 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,439 um and it's yeah it's pretty 45 00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,239 straightforward is there any other points rhonda that 46 00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:04,720 you wanted me to touch on did you want me to go through this whole agreement or 47 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:09,439 i don't think that's necessary to go 48 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,480 through it word for word um like i said we did part of me 49 00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:17,440 oh yeah go ahead 50 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:22,079 guys there's only one uh agreement here is there not another one that 51 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,520 you proposed we just showed you the we just showed you this one it'll be a 52 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:29,160 duplicate for the other artist as well okay very good 53 00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:34,960 no i think it's pretty self-explanatory so yeah i don't think we need to read it 54 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:40,880 over and we did take into account all of the 55 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:45,360 of our lawyers suggested changes so everything should be in there now we did 56 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:48,639 run it past her a couple of times and used her 57 00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:54,000 wording okay okay nate well we are on the agreement 58 00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:58,000 thing that if nobody has anything else i will make the motion that town of burton 59 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:01,919 enter intramural agreements with the artists that are painting the two murals 60 00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:07,280 and burden in 2022. great so i'm a secular please counselor 61 00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:11,600 colin any more discussion hearing now i'll call for the question 62 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:15,600 all those in favor opposed carrie great thank you carry on 63 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:20,560 there and then liza is going to bring us up to 64 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:25,520 date on the oil museum project in agreement too 65 00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:28,960 right so um i think you've heard me talk a little bit about this oil museum um 66 00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:32,560 project the um um and i give i gave you some 67 00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:35,199 notes but and i'll maybe go through those though i'm not sure if you've had 68 00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:40,240 a chance to maybe read those those just got uploaded i think recently 69 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:45,680 so in february 21 i was approached by christine steele the petroleum brand 70 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:52,000 for assistance about basically storage and support of the 71 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:55,600 what has been the manitoba oil museum um christine and barb have basically 72 00:05:53,840 --> 00:06:00,479 been the barb johnson were the only two people operating the museum board at the 73 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,960 time barb was set to retire and then due to the pandemic christine was moving 74 00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:07,120 back to vernon and out of the or back to brandon 75 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:11,280 to work out of her home and out of the burden branch 76 00:06:09,039 --> 00:06:16,880 so ultimately the goal of christine's was for me to kind of reestablish the 77 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:21,360 board for the oil museum locally because over the over the years basically to 78 00:06:19,039 --> 00:06:25,600 keep the board operating um and filing their 79 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:30,160 their papers every year they were just putting petroleum branch workers on 80 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:33,919 those on those um on the um corporation papers so she was 81 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:38,800 hoping that we'd be able to establish this you know get it going locally and 82 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:42,560 and look at local projects with it and then take the bank account over 83 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:47,759 and in the meantime they were working on 84 00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:50,639 side with the university of manitoba to partner on 85 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,080 research and then bring that research to a 86 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:57,680 website um version of the oil museum 87 00:06:56,479 --> 00:07:01,680 so then throughout the next few months of 21 i 88 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,680 was a part of a lot of meetings with christine and maya which is the 89 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:10,639 university of manitoba researcher and they put in a my tax application and to 90 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:14,160 help fund maya's research which was accepted 91 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:18,240 and basically maya's research would end up being the content for the development 92 00:07:15,919 --> 00:07:21,680 of the website um i then assisted with getting them a 93 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:26,479 quote from a website company to develop the content 94 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,840 to an online museum format we chose pattern because they've been involved in 95 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:34,639 many museums um online versions of museums in 96 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:38,240 manitoba and they're also very um familiar with um 97 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:43,039 the heritage grants that are out there for online museums we didn't have time 98 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:47,599 to apply for one of those and nor did we need to to do this museum 99 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:52,319 but in future they are they're very familiar with um a lot of the grants 100 00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:58,240 that are out there um i did contact a few 101 00:07:55,039 --> 00:08:01,199 past like past board members like 20 years ago board members 102 00:08:00,479 --> 00:08:05,680 on and just to gauge their appetite to come 103 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:09,759 back to the table local people um but really with no clear direction 104 00:08:07,919 --> 00:08:14,879 of what the manitoba oil museum was anymore and years of stagnancy they 105 00:08:13,599 --> 00:08:19,599 i realized it was going to take a lot longer to build that capacity 106 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:23,360 and again i was dealing with covid and trying to make meetings happen and so i 107 00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:30,160 kind of just stopped that avenue and forged through with um helping get the 108 00:08:26,479 --> 00:08:33,680 museum built um into a website format so a portion of the funds in the oil 109 00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:37,760 museum bank account were gifted through an inheritance and christine steele 110 00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:42,959 contacted the family that um bequeathed the funds and that 111 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:46,720 and they were very happy to hear that this project was moving forward and that 112 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:51,200 um it wasn't going to be a brick and mortar museum but um they're happy to 113 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:55,760 hear that it was going to be an online website version 114 00:08:53,680 --> 00:09:00,959 the me the oil manitoba museum does have enough funds to get this website built 115 00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:04,880 um the the idea that the town of verdan would enter into the contract with the 116 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:08,560 website company is to so that we would maintain ownership of the website after 117 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:13,360 it's built and then be able to make changes and update more history and then 118 00:09:10,959 --> 00:09:17,279 also we'd be able to use the history and information that's been researched to 119 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:21,360 kind of form a base for potential future storyboard interpretations that we could 120 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:24,320 use within the town and then i also 121 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:28,640 want to be able to use it as a catalyst to create conversation with the 122 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:33,600 community to maybe reunite that oil the oil museum board locally get 123 00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:36,560 people back not close the corporation down get people sitting on that corp and 124 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,920 get them you know 125 00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:44,240 looking at further projects to tell the story of oil in manitoba within the town 126 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:49,040 of verdan in different ways other than brick and mortar potentially 127 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:54,720 so i did state that the town of virgin's financial commitment to this project 128 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:57,920 would be uh 25 000 in 2022 however this is all being reimbursed by the manitoba 129 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:04,320 museum and then ongoing starting in 2023 would 130 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:08,800 be an annual 660 hosting slash plug-in license fee minimally unless we needed 131 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:13,360 more support or time for any um changes that need to be made 132 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,360 on the website 133 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:21,519 thank you anyone have any questions arise regarding this 134 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:28,959 may make a comment yeah and i think like what liza was 135 00:10:26,079 --> 00:10:34,720 saying really hoping you know with discussing with christina and that this 136 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:39,040 will maybe reignite that oil museum board because you know i have been 137 00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:44,240 approached by different um senior oil field members spoiled sorry 138 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:48,800 and you know who want to see something done so maybe once they see this as 139 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:52,560 being a start there might be well being that we are the oil capital 140 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:56,320 manitoba we should have something in place and probably promote this yeah 141 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,519 i'm thinking not real real strong but it should be 142 00:10:58,079 --> 00:11:04,720 there so it's obvious since we are the oil capital 143 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:08,320 yeah and with colbit online was the only way anything was going to get going in 144 00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:12,720 the last two years so the fact that this got done while that was going on 145 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:17,360 gave a little push right yeah and we have looked liza has shown me some 146 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:21,760 examples of this company's um website development 147 00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:24,640 and very good very um definitely 148 00:11:22,959 --> 00:11:29,680 and the oil rigs are up and drilling their own words again so that is nice to 149 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:33,279 see do we need a motion on this yes okay um 150 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:38,160 i will make the motion that the town of vern partner with the oil museum 151 00:11:35,839 --> 00:11:42,800 and enter into the required agreements for the preparation of the oil museum 152 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:48,079 website and the ongoing maintenance of the website with oil museum funding the 153 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:50,959 cost of website development secondary please 154 00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:58,240 counselor collin great thank you any more discussion anybody have any 155 00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:58,240 questions council garner 156 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:06,959 yeah i think this is a great idea but excuse me as far as the 660 157 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:12,560 annually coming out of the town coffer funds 158 00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:16,800 i'm sure there's somebody out there that would sponsor this other than the town 159 00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:21,680 yeah the top 160 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:25,120 associated with the oil field industry me and christine talked about that too 161 00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:28,320 and i do think that there would be lots of opportunity um 162 00:12:27,519 --> 00:12:31,920 and even 163 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:35,200 if we could get some local oil companies to sponsor a little bit then you could 164 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:38,639 put their logo on the website at least the website would have an opportunity to 165 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,600 give us some some value back to them as well 166 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:47,760 exactly if we could do something like that that would be fantastic lisa 167 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:52,880 any more discussion every now i'll call for the question all 168 00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:57,040 those in favor opposed 169 00:12:55,120 --> 00:13:02,959 carrie great thank you okay and liza is going to give us

they've been pretty stagnant and so they're holding their first meeting 185 00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:10,160 on friday um from two to four in brandon and so 186 00:14:08,639 --> 00:14:14,399 i'll be attending that representing dennis county um 187 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:19,360 and so some of the things that they're going to be discussing is the future of 188 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:24,639 this board and if they continue to attract go after soybean attraction 189 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:28,639 or if they broaden their focus into um potential business development other 190 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:32,639 like other business attraction within southwest manitoba 191 00:14:30,399 --> 00:14:36,639 and of note they have a they have a fairly long agenda here but of note um 192 00:14:34,959 --> 00:14:39,600 one of the one of the points they do want to talk about is a coordinated 193 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:45,120 approach for library to lobbying hydro for 194 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:48,399 southwest manitoba investments so i feel like that's um 195 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:53,360 uh we know that we've uh we've been in we've had inquiries about 196 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:56,959 our capacity for hydro and natural gas and that that's maybe being an issue and 197 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,920 so um this group's actually got that on their 198 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:05,360 agenda as well to talk about so i will be attending that meeting on friday 199 00:15:02,959 --> 00:15:09,440 and um yeah other than that i don't really have any 2022 uh 200 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:14,000 updates

census data to go to town folio and then we upload it it 207 00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:42,880 uploads and so just to make sure that comes over and is displayed and then 208 00:15:41,279 --> 00:15:46,720 we'll use that as a marketing opportunity to upload to our own 209 00:15:44,639 --> 00:15:52,000 websites as well and we're still working on one major one 210 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:56,480 major

00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:16,480 might be twenty dollars last year or should be a 279 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:21,039 member of it too oh i'm sorry that's uh it's not not an expensive thing other 280

00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:59,039 pardon me it says here um if we want to add anything to the agenda i'm wondering 288 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,919 specifically about the um fire trucks and 289 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:05,600 the they're dropping the insurance rate from 290 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:09,280 what was it 25 years to 20 years and how that will affect rural communities that 291 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:14,320 with fire trucks maybe that's something that needs to be discussed 292 00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:17,679 that would be a very interesting question to see how some of the smaller 293 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:22,240 communities are going to handle that smaller houses and i think we need to 294 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:25,280 like lobby as a you know a bunch of like our trucks don't get used as much as the 295 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:30,080 bigger centers right so i don't know how you get that on the 296 00:22:28,159 --> 00:22:33,120 agenda or if we can but i think it would be a good thing to have around the table 297 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,520 yeah well that's something if we all agree to 298 00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:39,280 that we can get jail to send it down 299 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:43,840 and they can have it there for their agenda 300 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,840 any other questions 301 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:50,080 yeah that's a good idea okay 302 00:22:47,919 --> 00:22:52,799 all right if there's no other questions why you want to speak on this 303 00:22:51,919 --> 00:22:57,200 no okay we have a motion in place i believe 304 00:22:55,200 -->

00:30:56,960 very good i'm interested in the retrofitting of everything that says 401 00:30:55,360 --> 00:31:00,399 here from fire halls to libraries to community centers um but i'm 402 00:30:58,799 --> 00:31:04,880 unfortunately on vacation but i think that would be a good one for 403 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:08,960 somebody anybody to attend well maybe we could even um have staff 404 00:31:07,679 --> 00:31:13,279 register that would probably be a good idea for 405 00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:17,679 giving giving old buildings new life i think that one's a good one for us to 406 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:20,880 look at sure i'll make sure somebody on staff uh 407 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:25,120 attends that and if we can sneak in more than one we 408 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:28,399 will well i was gonna like if a staff member who does that kind of stuff was 409 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:31,279 going to attend like i wouldn't mind coming in 410 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:36,080 because it's nice sometimes to talk to a staff member during those 411 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:39,120 programs right so we can kind of talk about our point of view and staff 412 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:43,039 members point of view when we're listening to it 413 00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:47,120 could that be something that joe won't be able to 414 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,120 should probably get ron 415 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:53,760 to listen to it yeah we'll see if ron can attend 416 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:57,679 i think that would be a good one for him to yeah 417 00:31:55,840 --> 00:32:01,559 if he's able to so do you want to make the most of that effect then 418 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:09,360 okay folks we've got some people lined up then and we'll 419 00:32:08,159 --> 00:32:12,880 yeah like constant baker said there's probably 420 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:17,360 some knowledge that we could receive from that 421 00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:22,080 okay plus overall number eight a retroactive pay increases for the rcmp 422 00:32:20,399 --> 00:32:26,320 which i said was going to cost us some money 423 00:32:24,159 --> 00:32:30,480 i'm sure that all of you know what's coming 424 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:34,799 with our federal employees so but rhonda i'm going to let you 425 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:39,279 explain this one to everybody uh yes we did receive our 426 00:32:37,039 --> 00:32:45,279 letter from the federal government indicating 427 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:49,519 just reminding us about that uh the rcmp have 428 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:55,279 joined the union and have negotiated a contract that's retroactive to 2017 429 00:32:54,480 --> 00:33:02,799 and with that it will result in um 430 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:10,159 a retroactive pay requirement for the town of burden 431 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:13,120 of 105 to 150 000 i believe it was and that's just an estimate at the time 432 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:18,320 because what they'll do is they'll actually go back and figure out how many 433 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:22,080 members we were charged for during each of those billing periods because 434 00:33:19,679 --> 00:33:26,640 sometimes we're only charged for three and or four rather than the five members 435 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:30,320 that we're contracted for um it's been quite a while that we've 436 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:34,480 ever paid for five members to be very honest not to say that couldn't happen 437 00:33:32,399 --> 00:33:38,880 but for this they're actually only calculating in 438 00:33:36,159 --> 00:33:43,679 what we were charged for at the time amm is still working very hard on this 439 00:33:41,279 --> 00:33:48,640 file and are trying to get a meeting set up it was supposed to be 440 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:52,960 by now but it hasn't been held with all the uh municipalities that are in a 441 00:33:51,039 --> 00:33:59,279 policing contract so as soon as that meeting does get 442 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,279 scheduled we'll be coming 443 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:04,240 i'll be letting mayor wright know so we can sit in on 444 00:34:03,279 --> 00:34:07,440 that there are also too 445 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:12,159 still trying to get the federal government to assume all the costs 446 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:15,200 because municipalities were never allowed to have anyone at the 447 00:34:13,359 --> 00:34:19,679 negotiation table so we did not get to have any say in our 448 00:34:18,079 --> 00:34:23,200 interest at all so let's just 449 00:34:20,879 --> 00:34:28,800 so like i said amm is still working very hard and nick continues to update us on 450 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:33,760 where that file is so and we have sent this letter on to him 451 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:38,480 as well because he's gathering all of this just to make sure 452 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:40,639 he has all the information correct murray 453 00:34:39,839 --> 00:34:45,040 sorry um we have 454 00:34:41,919 --> 00:34:48,079 saved for this yes we have been carrying forward this amount because we were made 455 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:52,960 aware back okay but we don't have 456 00:34:50,720 --> 00:34:57,520 as we don't have as much as like weren't we told it was like 457 00:34:55,280 --> 00:35:01,280 five or ten per like were we advised to put aways an amount but we not this big 458 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:05,599 of an amount um i think we will still be okay okay 459 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:09,119 yeah because of what we we've been budgeting for 460 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:13,040 for our full members and we haven't been being billed for our four members this 461 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:17,680 will be a one-time shot yes and then we'll be paying at the 462 00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:21,760 higher amount per member yeah right yeah anybody have any questions 463 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:27,680 regarding what ronda just explained to us 464 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:31,680 everybody understands what's going on senior citizens don't get any more money 465 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:36,320 but our champion you do so carl you and i are hurting again 466 00:35:33,359 --> 00:35:39,599 everyone gets more money okay good thank you 467

as town 548 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:59,040 ron and drake and we discussed all of this um it kind 549 00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:03,520 of goes into all the differences between all the companies and 550 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:05,839 um you know size number of features buildings 551 00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:10,079 um pumps all of that stuff ron and we kind 552 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:13,359 of went through everything all the different proposals with fine toothed 553 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:18,000 comb picked out some things had some questions 554 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:22,400 um and then the spray part committee met after that to review 555 00:42:19,839 --> 00:42:28,160 what the town you know thought that you know they liked and then 556 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:31,119 we had a meeting as the spray park and i have a note here from the spray park 557 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:36,480 that said um two verdant council at the spray park 558 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:40,400 committee meeting on thursday march 3rd we have voted on the recommendation that 559 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:44,640 the town of vernon awards the spray park contract to park and play design we are 560 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:48,400 very happy with the design submitted and we thank all companies for answering our 561 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:53,359 rfp and we look forward to working with park and play and having our park built 562 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:57,520 in 2022 um so 563 00:42:55,119 --> 00:43:00,720 i would make the motion that the town of burden enter into a contract with park 564 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:07,640 and play for the provision of a spray park at an 565 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:07,640 estimated contract price of 479 566 00:43:08,359 --> 00:43:16,800 401.52 including pst and you guys can ask me any and all 567 00:43:14,319 --> 00:43:20,319 questions if you'd like okay i'll ask for a second or first 568 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:25,200 please come to williams okay now discussion go ahead found some 569 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,200 garner 570 00:43:25,599 --> 00:43:33,119 whitney just a couple questions for you um 571 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:36,800 could your building be enlarged with uh was a reasonable increase in your 572 00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:41,200 contract or price like i just noticed the rest of 573 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:44,800 the buildings here were similar but 574 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:49,359 larger than what they're saying six by twelve 575 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:53,680 sixty very big when you get in the inside of a building keep it separate no 576 00:43:52,079 --> 00:43:56,960 it's not and we discussed the building in length um 577 00:43:55,520 --> 00:44:00,160 the chemicals are actually going to be stored outside of the building is what 578 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:06,240 they had it um designed as and because washrooms are 579 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:10,240 hopefully being built separately we felt like this just needed to house the pumps 580 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:15,760 so we've looked at the design it looks like 581 00:44:13,599 --> 00:44:20,079 it's kind of the bare minimum of what we would need 582 00:44:17,599 --> 00:44:23,359 for this building and and i know where you're coming from 583 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:27,200 it's very small yeah if you're in there working you 584 00:44:25,359 --> 00:44:29,839 don't have room to turn around in six feet 585 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:35,119 yeah yeah it it did there was like a couple 586 00:44:32,319 --> 00:44:39,920 pages on the park and play design that had like the size of everything and 587 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:44,720 it isn't that big but it also there's not a lot of equipment needed 588 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,720 so 589 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:50,079 i just want to see down the road saying okay now we have to add on to this 590 00:44:48,240 --> 00:44:54,319 building because it's not big enough yeah no you bet and the chemical is to 591 00:44:51,839 --> 00:44:58,400 be stored outside it's not inside and it it wouldn't be able to like house any 592 00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:05,280 features if they came off or anything so we did talk about that in length 593 00:45:01,599 --> 00:45:07,599 now the park size is 6 22 feet square feet 594 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:10,640 yeah that's 595 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:14,079 quite substantial larger than what the other ones were 596 00:45:12,319 --> 00:45:17,520 proposing why why the difference 597 00:45:16,079 --> 00:45:21,119 we went through all of these because we asked the exact 598 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:24,560 same question um it came to i think that they use they 599 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:28,079 don't use a lot of subcontractors they do a lot of 600 00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:32,560 it themselves the concrete thickness was the same the 601 00:45:30,240 --> 00:45:37,520 piles were the same we reviewed everything um they design a 602 00:45:35,839 --> 00:45:43,200 lot of their own features this company they build it kind of based on what 603 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:47,359 you're wanting it's not all pre-fabbed pieces 604 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:51,599 so and it just seemed like they were maybe hungry for the work and they 605 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:55,520 gave us a good size and a good number of features for a good price 606 00:45:53,839 --> 00:46:00,400 yeah i see their completion date is the 20th of june which is 607 00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,400 excellent timing 608 00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:07,280 number of features they have is 30 but when you go down to 609 00:46:05,119 --> 00:46:13,440 the warranty the stainless and structures is only 25 610 00:46:10,319 --> 00:46:17,119 why the difference there um 611 00:46:15,119 --> 00:46:20,720 like for the stainless and structures 25 years that's pretty standard 612 00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:24,560 um there's only one company that was less than that it was hard for ron and 613 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:28,079 for all of us to talk warranty 614 00:46:26,720 --> 00:46:31,599 because it's really because a lot of people um there are a lot of different 615 00:46:29,599 --> 00:46:35,680 companies warranty quite differently so it would be like 616 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:42,000 one year on this feature but two years on this and so like this is 617 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:45,520 kind of a mishmash of of averages per se so like that's why we tried to pick out 618 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:48,800 the stainless structures versus the nozzles versus the tank 619 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:56,800 yeah so it struck me just like grant that 620 00:46:54,560 --> 00:47:00,160 they're providing almost three times what some of them are 621 00:46:59,119 --> 00:47:05,440 and so my question is did you get references 622 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:10,640 and are they providing bonding yes they are we did get references and 623 00:47:07,839 --> 00:47:15,599 we did a lot of our the committee itself did a lot of um 624 00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:20,480 i want to say nicely outside sleuthing to look at reviews and stuff that might 625 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:23,520 not be said that a reference might provide 626 00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:27,119 and to be honest we can't we couldn't really find anything 627 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:31,200 too terribly bad um 628 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:36,839 we we had honestly we had the exact same reaction as we were surprised it was 629 00:47:33,839 --> 00:47:40,079 almost double three times the size but 630 00:47:38,559 --> 00:47:44,800 i feel like i honestly feel like we did our homework on it 631 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:48,319 and and you'll be requesting bonding yeah rhonda you might have to speak to 632 00:47:46,319 --> 00:47:51,440 that because i i we had it in the rfp and i can't think of it off the top of 633 00:47:49,599 --> 00:47:55,680 my head um it's either bonding or letter of credit 634 00:47:53,680 --> 00:48:01,200 being provided by the bank i know ron did say there was different 635 00:47:58,720 --> 00:48:07,839 either letter of credit or bonding by the different f the five he just didn't 636 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:07,839 put it on here which one was which 637 00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:14,000 i want to say theirs was maybe a letter of credit because i did read that could 638 00:48:11,119 --> 00:48:17,359 be letter of credit yeah as long as you're covered 639 00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:21,040 yeah where are parks and play where are the 640 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,040 they 641 00:48:22,720 --> 00:48:30,720 um i believe bc and i think they have a regional office in regina i think if 642 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:35,319 that sounds right yeah that sounds right and they they do parks all across 643 00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:52,640 sorry here that's okay um it says that that one doesn't come 644 00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:57,200 with uv disinfection but that does require the public health would you just 645 00:48:54,240 --> 00:48:57,200 pay extra for that 646 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:07,760 that was so we put it in the rfp that had to comply to all public health and 647 00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:12,240 as far as we were told that it wasn't in public health standards that it was it 648 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:15,920 just in draft form that the pub but the public health 649 00:49:14,079 --> 00:49:21,440 standards because we have a draft of those 650 00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:25,920 guidelines but if we build before we wouldn't need it 651 00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:28,800 we were required to put one in it so okay 652 00:49:27,359 --> 00:49:31,040 just a thought just 653 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:40,000 anyone else have any questions i'm just going to say for whitney their proposal 654 00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:43,359 and their i think once the spray park releases the 655 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:46,800 the design people are going to be pretty excited 656 00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:51,119 it's going to be a maiden it's going to be a maiden burden 657 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:56,000 perfectly perfectly tailors to our community and it's pretty striking 658 00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:59,359 not just when the features are running but if you were to drive by and nobody 659 00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:03,520 was out there if the weather was bad or in the winter it would be 660 00:50:01,359 --> 00:50:08,319 i think people will be very impressed and i will say that we withheld back 661 00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:13,359 some of our budget when we put out this rfp because we wanted to have enough 662 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:19,839 money left over for sod accessibility paths um shade structures and whatever 663 00:50:17,359 --> 00:50:23,359 you know might come up so this wasn't at the exact max of our budget but we 664 00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:27,680 wanted to make sure we had everything covered 665 00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:29,440 and contingency you guys yeah yeah 666 00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:33,119 good uh one question whitney 667 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:36,480 the product that you were saying was going to be sitting outside the 668 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:41,839 structure that grant was questioning what is that and is that accessible to 669 00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:41,839 people 670 00:50:42,240 --> 00:50:46,480 um the product or the 671 00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:50,640 the building 672 00:50:48,240 --> 00:50:53,760 yeah they're they're in lockable like like everything's locked up completely 673 00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:57,680 and it shouldn't be it's just that it's not within like there's more standards 674 00:50:55,760 --> 00:51:01,280 if you put chemicals inside a building everything needs to be further apart 675 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:04,480 and there's there's just a lot more rules 676 00:51:02,559 --> 00:51:08,720 but yeah it'll be locked outside not accessible 677 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:13,359 i mean those cages so this building wasn't intended to be 678 00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:17,599 the washer things that we had spoken about right no 679 00:51:18,319 --> 00:51:22,119 okay any other questions 680 00:51:22,559 --> 00:51:28,720 okay we have a motion in the box yes yes okay 681 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:32,960 if there's no other questions i will call for the question all those in favor 682 00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:32,960 of the motion 683 00:51:33,119 --> 00:51:42,640 opposed carrie great thank you good job whitney 684
