[9:47] Call the meeting to order.
Uh, approval of the agenda as presented.
[9:54] » I will approve that.
>> Thanks, Garnet. All those in favor?
[9:58] Opposed?
Carried. Okay. We have um some additions
[10:03] to the agenda. We have to add a closed
um session. So 1.0 Z will be a tax
[10:10] agreement
and some negotiations. So, need approval
[10:16] of the with the additions.
>> I will.
[10:18] » Thanks, Bruce. All those in favor?
Opposed? Carried. Uh, previous council
[10:24] meeting minutes of July 21st.
>> I'll do that.
[10:28] » Thanks, Robin.
All those in favor?
[10:32] Opposed? Carried. We have a delegation
at 9:30. groups coming in to talk about
[10:37] a Irma wildlife trail
and new business egg service department.
[10:45] » Here comes
[10:49] » morning.
[10:54] So, everybody has the
report there. Any questions or comments
[11:02] or [clears throat] anything you'd like
to you guys would like to add? Gals?
[11:08] » Yeah. Roots was July this year. Good.
>> Perfect. Yeah. Roll roots was July this
[11:14] year on a Wednesday. So that was a good
success. Again, we were um at capacity
[11:19] on registration. We had a lot of work
kind of preparing for our ASB field
[11:23] visit. So that was this past Monday on
August 10th. So that went uh quite well.
[11:28] We don't have too too much to kind of
follow up on with that. So, it was nice
[11:33] the board was able to join us for the
morning as well. Our new mix and load
[11:37] pad that was approved at the planning
meeting earlier this year is uh all
[11:40] complete at the recck shop and in use
and uh public works has helped us out on
[11:45] a couple projects over the past month.
Um including installation of a
[11:48] ventilation system on our new rack
control seat can and um helping out
[11:52] getting our boat drying unit uh put
together and installed out at Clear
[11:56] Lake. So, that's officially operational
as of this past Friday, so you'll expect
[12:00] to see a post about that on social
media. Um, the bery program is being
[12:05] advertised. Um, the calendar contest
just closed this past Saturday. So, lots
[12:09] of the programs are kind of starting to
wrap up for the season. Um, Land View
[12:13] got us our canola rotation risk mapping
information, so we'll be ready to start
[12:16] our club root inspections off of that.
Uh the mowing program was completed on
[12:21] August 1st and everything's been going
pretty smoothly um with our roadside
[12:25] spray program. Everything's been
completed on rotation. So everyone's
[12:29] kind of working on the spot spraying and
the touch-ups and inspections in the
[12:32] private land projects now.
[12:38] » Excellent. Any questions or comments on
that?
[12:44] » No. Did the um mowing did that get
straightened away? I know there was a a
[12:49] comment last meeting about that. What's
is there a big improvement there?
[12:52] » Uh well, it's definitely is something
that was happening all over the region
[12:56] like speaking with our kind of
counterparts in our neighboring
[12:59] municipalities. It's it's really just
the amount of moisture and how thick and
[13:02] lush the grass was. So, it wasn't just
uh you know our people here that were
[13:07] having a hard time with it. It was it
was all over um just with the conditions
[13:11] in the ditches this year. Like they they
haven't been that thick in a very long
[13:14] time. So there's a yeah I don't know if
there's really much else that they could
[13:18] have done uh to correct it and they
tried you know everything that they
[13:22] could try but it just the grass
condition it was hard to avoid
[13:26] unfortunately.
>> Yep.
[13:31] » Any other questions or comments?
>> I' I'd just like to say great job with
[13:35] rural roots. I' I've heard a lot of
positive things on it. So
[13:39] » both of you did an excellent job. So the
entertainment was good.
[13:42] » Good. Well, thank you so much.
Okay, motion to accept the report.
[13:46] Thanks, Richard.
>> I have one question on the RMA bulletin.
[13:50] There's a wellsight spray. Um, are you
in do you have information? Do you
[13:55] encourage rate payers to mention if they
see weed control as an issue on well
[13:59] sites or what do you where do we go for?
>> Oh, that would that would be good. Um, I
[14:02] mean, we do have over 20,000 well sites
in the MD, so there's just no capacity
[14:08] for us to be able to look at all of
that. Um, but if there does seem to be a
[14:13] trend of a, you know, a specific company
or or issues, it is great for rate
[14:17] payers to go ahead and report that to
us. Um, the the process is tricky for
[14:21] sure. Like I'm not entirely up on how it
looks like in the back end with the
[14:25] ARCAM orders, but I don't know if it's
very easy to get that reimbursement
[14:29] back.
>> That's what I thought about like
[14:31] budgeting for that extra spray and then
whether or not we'll get paid for sure.
[14:35] » Yeah, it's hard to say. Okay. And what
the yeah and like you know you do still
[14:38] need to go through the enforcement
process with it. So but if there if
[14:42] there is a trend um we definitely want
to know about you know if there is a
[14:45] specific company that there does seem to
be ongoing issues with like it's good
[14:49] for us to be aware. Okay. Um and then we
can kind of investigate if that process
[14:52] is a good fit.
>> Okay. it's going to make extra work for
[14:56] » which is I mean like it's good to
address those if someone is [snorts] you
[14:59] know there seems to be a company that is
specifically not looking after those
[15:02] issues and it's impacting producers then
we definitely want to know about that
[15:06] and and do what we can in that area.
It's just the process seems like it
[15:10] might be a little bit ownorous. Yeah.
>> Um as far as actually getting that
[15:13] reimbursement back.
>> Thank you.
[15:20] » Okay. Richard made the motion. All those
in favor opposed carried. Okay. We have
[15:27] some RFDs rural roots 2027.
>> Yeah. So, as we just touched on our
[15:34] past rural roots, so looking ahead to
2027 for hosting.
[15:39] » Can I make a motion to go with option
one?
[15:42] » Thanks, Sean. You want to host the rule
roots 2027? Any questions or comments on
[15:46] that? I
>> If not, all those in favor?
[15:50] Opposed?
carried.
[15:54] » Okay. Northeast Regional Agriculture
Service Board Conference.
[15:58] » For this, we uh typically do bring an
RFD for um if council wishes to
[16:02] authorize any additional counselors
beyond the board members to attend. Uh
[16:06] so oftent times uh a lot of members of
council do join for that. We do have our
[16:10] five board members which includes two
members of council and this is just for
[16:14] additional.
>> Okay. Any questions or comments on that?
[16:19] I'll make a motion to go with uh option
one.
[16:22] » Okay. Thanks, Robin.
>> Yeah.
[16:25] » I I think it's good that counselors
attend that. There's a lot of good
[16:28] information there.
>> Yeah.
[16:29] » Yes.
>> All those in favor?
[16:32] » Opposed?
Carried.
[16:35] » We'll get the uh the agenda sent out to
everybody.
[16:40] » Uh roadside mowing 2027.
So roadside mowing, we went out for our
[16:44] RFP earlier this year for 2026. And uh
in that there's always the option for
[16:50] the MD to extend the contract for
additional year uh if they so choose. So
[16:55] this is if you wish to op uh exercise
that option to extend the contract um to
[16:59] 2027 at the same rate at that was uh
paid this year at 102 per mile.
[17:07] » I'll make a motion we go option one.
>> Okay. Thanks, Richard. Any questions or
[17:12] comments?
If not, all those in favor?
[17:17] Opposed?
Carried.
[17:20] Okay. We have an RFD for our Wayright
Chemite contractor.
[17:25] » So, this one is our former chemical
container site at Wayright there. So,
[17:28] we've undergone phase one and phase two
environmental site assessments and we're
[17:32] ready to go through the final phase,
which is the demolition and uh
[17:36] reclamation of the site. Uh it was bid
on last year and a contractor was
[17:40] selected by council in September. Um
with the plans were to complete it last
[17:44] fall um with our kind of ongoing
subdivision [clears throat] issues that
[17:48] did get extended into spring and
unfortunately that was still ongoing. So
[17:52] we finally that's all been resolved. The
site is free and clear for us to go
[17:56] ahead and do the work. Um but then of
course our contract extension had
[17:59] expired by then. Um so our contractor is
uh that was initially selected by
[18:04] council last September is uh available
to complete the work and they have
[18:08] requested some additional funds to
fulfill that contract.
[18:14] » Okay.
>> So they essentially want double the
[18:18] amount to do the same work.
>> Uh they are still with this additional
[18:22] funds they're still $5,000 lower than
the next lowest bid that was bid last
[18:27] year. So, I don't think we're going to
find a better price. Like, there's still
[18:31] they're still lower than the next
lowest. And with the cost of fuel, how
[18:34] it's gone up, I don't think
[clears throat] that we'll be seeing uh
[18:38] anything less than that.
>> So, did they give any reasoning to the
[18:44] price increase? Because it's not, you
know, 12% or
[18:47] » Well, they would have seen the results
last year. They had like pretty
[18:50] significantly under bid the project
compared to what everyone else had bid
[18:54] it. So this puts them a little bit more
in alignment with what the next kind of
[18:59] folks bid on it, but it is still less.
>> So would they have had to move the
[19:03] equipment in twice now?
>> No, they didn't have to they haven't
[19:07] mobilized anything up yet. Um because we
were still waiting for that access to
[19:11] the site.
[19:14] » So I guess I would ask is there a time
crunch to get this done if we decide to
[19:18] rebid this? it would be nice to get it
done. Um, from the time that the phase 2
[19:24] is complete, that was last year, we have
three years to complete the work because
[19:30] it's now an environmental liability
essentially because it's known um on our
[19:35] financial statements. So, eliminating
this project would then take that off
[19:39] our books, but it could still be done
next year technically.
[19:48] that that much higher. We're not going
to get any cheaper.
[19:52] » They'll raise their bids again, too.
>> Possibly. What do you guys want to do? I
[19:58] [clears throat] don't like this
increase. It's
[19:59] » I don't I don't like it either.
>> I don't. But, you know,
[20:01] » it sure seems like a good way to
extrapolate money from the MD.
[20:06] » But having said that, the responsibility
on our part to get phase two done in a
[20:11] timely manner to proceed is
>> there was some hiccups there.
[20:16] » [clears throat]
>> I don't know.
[20:17] » It's going to be higher.
>> I realize that. I just
[20:23] » Yeah, but we did make them wait a year
or two.
[20:31] » Yeah, they were available and ready to
do it last year and it was kind of on
[20:35] our end that it was a delay.
>> Y
[20:39] » Is this something that could be done in
house?
[20:42] We looked at it, but it's a pretty big
job and that would mean pulling a lot
[20:47] off of construction.
>> So, our engineering people are they've
[20:53] waited a year or two.
>> Yeah. Rohigh is our consultant on this.
[20:57] So, they did our phase one and phase two
and then they would be involved with the
[21:00] phase three and then once the excavation
is complete, they have to do some
[21:03] confirmatory sampling uh just to make
sure that everything was removed that
[21:07] needed to be removed. Um [clears throat]
once that lab analysis comes back, then
[21:10] it's the back fill and um adding the top
soil back on and then we would be doing
[21:14] the seating after the fact.
[21:20] » Um I'm not too sure. It's a like it's
definitely the hole um because they're
[21:24] going to need to take the existing
building needs to be demolished. Uh the
[21:27] materials need to be separated that
needs hauled out to the dump.
[21:31] » And then well and then the excavation
and then the back fill engraving and all
[21:36] of that
>> and I think in this case we did have a
[21:39] contract with these folks that expired
and it wasn't due to their fault. The
[21:44] responsibility was on ours. So with that
in mind, I I'm fine with contracting it
[21:49] out still. And like you said, I don't
think we'll get a cheaper price if we
[21:52] rebid it. I don't think the price is
going to decrease,
[21:56] » but motion.
>> Thanks, Oscar.
[22:01] » Okay, any questions or comments on that
motion? If not, all those in favor?
[22:07] » Opposed?
Carried.
[22:09] » Great. Thank you.
[22:13] » Thanks, ladies.
[clears throat and cough]
[22:19] Okay. And the ASB minutes are there for
your information.
[22:37] And I assume they're coming.
[22:45] » Yeah.
[22:50] » Yeah. So,
>> good morning. How are you?
[22:53] They had trouble with
>> morning council
[22:56] » shield.
[22:59] » Morning gentlemen.
>> Morning.
[23:01] » So we have the director of public works
report there.
[23:05] Um
as Preston settling and any questions or
[23:09] comments that anyone has
[23:16] had a lot of contractors come through in
the last 10 days.
[23:20] So boil's complete, line painting's
complete, crack sealing's complete. Um
[23:25] the cementing we just completed here uh
last Friday and chip seal got first top
[23:33] coat done on all the new projects except
for uh division 3 project.
[23:39] » Sounds okay.
>> Yeah, you went fishing. So it doesn't
[23:43] » Yeah, it's just the way timing was. It's
uh been a long go. So obviously next
[23:47] time uh contractors in we will chip seal
that project and then second coat
[23:53] everything else do our single coat and
then do a top coat for second coat on
[23:58] that project as well and we'll be
wrapped up on our contractors
[24:02] also greater training
uh came in we did that last week it went
[24:08] really well
received so that was a good day we have
[24:14] another one scheduled here in September
So, we'll see how that goes.
[24:20] Uh, the weather has been somewhat
cooperative in the last little bit. Been
[24:24] going hard on construction. Uh, we're
working on the far east end at the
[24:29] start. That's where the some of the
largest fills and cuts are. Um, we're
[24:34] working through that. So, it's taking us
a little time. We've been plagued with a
[24:37] little bit of downtime as well. So,
currently we have one machine that's in
[24:40] Edmonton uh that's in the shop. Just got
into the shop today. So last week it was
[24:45] not in the shop and just got into the
shop actually yesterday. Not today.
[24:49] Yesterday. Uh so they're looking at
something in the back engine there. That
[24:53] was number two. So that's uh believe
that's one of our most recent purchases.
[24:58] Uh we had one with a joystick that went
down. Another one with a I think it was
[25:02] a emission sensor or something. So I do
believe we have both fitting mechanics
[25:07] out there today to uh get these other
two machines running. and our 160 uh
[25:14] leak on the cylinder again.
Something going on in the 160. Yeah, I
[25:19] can't remember exactly the details on
it. So, and our Kamasu dozer, we had a
[25:24] an issue with it as well. So, we this
last five days, seven days with
[25:28] equipment has been quite interesting.
Kind of all piled up at the same time.
[25:32] So, hopefully we get through this uh a
little bit of a delay here and back into
[25:37] her and going hard again. So, as well as
we also had uh Sandstar return and do
[25:43] some warranty work on uh Range Rover 42.
Uh we're yet to do an inspection on
[25:49] that. We have a few things in house to
do before we call them in and uh return
[25:55] and visit with them on site.
I think from what I've seen so far, uh
[26:01] they've stepped it up and it looks
pretty good. Um, but we still have to
[26:06] watch some of the uh water drainage
issues that we were talked about
[26:10] earlier. So, we'll look at that as well.
Take that in consideration.
[26:14] » And unfortunately, the forecast doesn't
Well, fortunately or unfortunately,
[26:17] doesn't
>> depends how you look at it, right?
[26:19] » It's Did we get John Deer back? Those
are
[26:23] » Yes, it did come back. It came back
right after council last
[26:26] » Oh, okay.
>> last month. So,
[26:28] » it's working well.
>> Yeah, it's working well. We haven't had
[26:31] a glitch in it yet. So, probably coming
up close to that first uh you know 200
[26:36] hour oil change getting close now. Yeah.
>> Are we starting to get close on getting
[26:42] caught up on gravel and roads or are we
still June is pretty tough?
[26:47] » Yeah, June is a tough month. Um I mean
we're we're going every day and and
[26:52] doing what we can. So, uh, and then you
mix in, you know, our cementing projects
[26:58] and, uh, you know, the rolling projects.
So, I mean, we got got a lot going on.
[27:03] Most of our most of our projects are in
the on the east side of the division
[27:08] line. So, the contractors on the west
side is is only graveling roads, which I
[27:13] mean, it's it's still from Peter to feed
Paul depending on which year we do
[27:16] things and how it works. But, yeah,
things are happening. They're going.
[27:23] Any other questions or comments?
Not somebody want to make a motion to
[27:28] accept the report as presented.
>> Thanks, Bruce. All those in favor?
[27:34] Opposed?
Carried. And then our street light
[27:38] project in south of town on 65. Uh, one
light is installed. Notice the wire has
[27:45] been wired to the other pole. So, we'll
see when the other lights installed.
[27:51] Okay. Looks pretty close to me and
completed on that as well.
[27:54] » Good.
>> That'll make you feel better.
[28:00] » Director Director of safety report.
>> Morning.
[28:04] » Morning.
>> Morning. Rick.
[28:06] » Um the safety side. I'm sitting in on a
few webinars on hazardous materials and
[28:11] exposure um put on by ONS. There's
another two segments left of that uh
[28:16] series. Other than that, it's business
as uh usual for safety. Uh for parks and
[28:21] wreck, uh continuing to make our water
samples at Clear Lake Beach as per HNS.
[28:27] Uh met with some seasonals down at
Riverdale. Uh discuss some uh possible
[28:31] upgrades, some ideas that they wanted to
put forward. Um ideas including some
[28:36] speed signs, directional signs, um minor
stuff like that. Uh I have been uh
[28:42] planning and prepping for the kids sport
tournament that took place last Friday.
[28:45] they've yet to come up with a uh a
raised number. Um from what I hear it
[28:50] was done, it was over well received
really good. So uh we're just looking to
[28:54] see what uh what numbers kind of got
produced with that. Uh Arm Lake had a
[28:58] pump go down uh about a week ago. I was
went out there, met up with uh
[29:03] electrician. We swapped out a pump that
I had uh in the box of my truck,
[29:07] reconfigured the control box there. Now
it seems like the pump is running on a a
[29:11] better, steadier pace. So no issues, no
hiccups with that. uh as of yet. Um
[29:18] yeah, and then just an update for for
council here for our construction of the
[29:22] new cook shacks and chain shacks are
scheduled to begin at the uh end of this
[29:25] month. And then we have the siding for
Riverdale clubhouse looking toward the
[29:30] end of September and that's when they're
going to start just to kind of get get
[29:33] away from all the commotion and and all
the action that's out there. They kind
[29:36] of want to do it when it's a little
little quieter, right? So um
[29:40] understandable. Uh this time next year
we'll have we'll have a brand new
[29:44] clubhouse out there with new siding. So
>> middle of it
[29:47] » I I'm hoping it looks a lot better than
it does. Uh no, we're actually going
[29:51] with a uh it's it's a Mildred blue, I
believe, is the color. Um it's uh I got
[29:57] some samples I can show you guys, but
no, it'll it'll it'll it'll fit in
[30:02] really good out there, I think. So
>> Okay. Just with that pump at Arm Lake,
[30:08] is is that like a is there a VFD there
on the control box? Is there parameters
[30:12] set?
>> There is. So the so the the existing
[30:14] control box that we have there, there's
six settings. Only two of them have
[30:17] functions. Um I when I went out there on
Saturday uh looking over the manual and
[30:22] and talking with the electrician, it was
sitting on function four, which really
[30:25] didn't do anybody any any good. Uh so we
matched the hertz of the pump that we
[30:30] installed with the uh correct uh setting
uh which is setting one with what we
[30:34] have. So um everything seems to be
kicked in. We're not getting any
[30:38] overheating or anything like that. So,
uh, we're we're monitoring that and if
[30:43] any issues arise, they'll they'll
contact me and myself and the
[30:47] electrician will go out there again and
try to try to make sense of it again.
[30:50] » Okay.
>> Excellent.
[30:53] » Is there new washrooms at Clear Lake,
too?
[30:58] » No,
>> no, no, it was just the the chain shack.
[31:03] » And the chain shack. The washrooms. Um,
I mean, they they get maintained. We
[31:06] have our uh our contractor that does all
of Riverdale and Arm Lake. They go out
[31:11] there and they clean them up often as
well.
[31:13] » Uh but nothing nothing in the plan for
replacing those as of yet. Um definitely
[31:18] something I can look into.
>> Yeah, we should.
[31:20] » Okay. Then I will
>> Are you feeling that we should include
[31:23] that in the change rooms? Is that what
you're kind of hinting at?
[31:26] » I would think. Yeah, because the
[clears throat] ones that are there are
[31:29] very
>> not really good.
[31:32] » Yeah. So I think what Mike said like so
for the work uh proposed for the the the
[31:37] change or the cook shack and the change
rooms is already kind of said and done.
[31:42] We we're going to get what we're going
to get for that. So the washrooms would
[31:45] have to be a separate project all all on
itself. But I can definitely bring you
[31:49] uh bring you a cost. Um and then we can
uh we can we put it in for next year's
[31:55] budget or I can talk to you a little bit
more one-on-one on that.
[31:59] » Yeah. Yeah, we should. It would be a
little more entailed as well as
[32:05] » Yeah.
>> Yeah. I I believe that should be a
[32:08] separate project all together, but I
I'll get some numbers.
[32:11] » Yeah.
>> Yeah.
[32:13] » Okay. Any other questions or comments on
the safety report as presented?
[32:18] » Not somebody may want to make motion.
Thanks, Richard. All those in favor?
[32:23] » Opposed?
Carried. Um, if I could just talk to
[32:28] Preston on the Fabian water problem.
>> That happened after I submitted my
[32:33] report, so it wasn't included. So, yeah.
>> So, last Thursday approximately 8:30
[32:38] a.m. um, one of the actually both VIPs
dumped in Fabian, uh, which then shut
[32:45] the water system off. Um this occurred
while we were filling uh the the
[32:53] maintenance truck that was flushing the
sewer systems. So uh obviously a little
[32:58] bit different dynamic when when you put
a demand on the system at least enough
[33:03] to to engage the second pump. And uh we
had done it the day before had no
[33:09] issues. Monday morning or excuse me,
Thursday morning we go out there. Uh
[33:14] same scenario and for some reason it
faulted both VFDs. So I mean we also
[33:22] called Battle River Electric in at the
same time because we couldn't get the
[33:25] VFDs to restart. Uh we did unplug the
the PLC system, the ProLogic controller.
[33:32] Uh plugged it back in which then
restarted the VFDs and the system went
[33:37] back online. Electrician came out. Uh
basically the the fault on there is a
[33:43] parameter that the VFD picks up on and
then of course it uh it basically shuts
[33:48] down in uh in I guess like a like a a
saving mode so it doesn't uh I guess do
[33:56] something to your pump or something to
the BFD. So, I would assume that because
[34:01] of the technology, uh, just things
talking back and forth, maybe, you know,
[34:06] with the PLC being a little bit older
and the VFD being brand new, there's
[34:10] some, uh, some issues with that
communication. I'm not 100% sure. We
[34:14] don't really know for sure, but he was
able to uh, prevent that from happening
[34:19] again by uh, doing something inside the
VFD and programming it. Uh, we did the
[34:23] [clears throat] same thing at our other
system because they're exactly the same.
[34:26] But why it happened, we really honestly
don't know.
[34:31] So, um, got the system up and running by
9:25.
[34:37] Um, we did actually put a notice on the
MD website at 9:00 for the boil water
[34:41] advisory. Approximately at 10:30, we had
door knockers out for the boil water
[34:46] advisory. We flushed the system from
both uh flush hydrants, checked chlorine
[34:52] residuals, then turned around and then
we grabbed bacterial samples and then we
[34:56] took those to dropped them off. And then
the next day we got the information from
[35:01] Alberta Health Services that uh
everything was good. And then we lifted
[35:04] the boil water order after that. Excuse
me. Boil water advisory not.
[35:09] » So those those door knockers I'm
assuming you just grabbed some summer
[35:13] students and bang on doors. Do we
>> luckily enough they happen to be there
[35:16] at the time. So yeah, I was able to do
that. Otherwise,
[35:19] » that doesn't work.
>> Do we leave any literature there on the
[35:24] on the door or anything like that or
nobody answers, what do we do?
[35:27] » Yeah, we stick it in the door.
>> Okay.
[35:29] » And close it.
>> I had one rate payer phone me and say
[35:32] they didn't find out till that night.
>> Their teenage kids have been using the
[35:36] water all day and they were quite
concerned about that.
[35:39] » Yeah, it's I mean it's tough. Uh can't
say for sure exactly how to correct
[35:44] that.
I'm sure other communities have a lot of
[35:47] the same issues. I mean, there's no way
Calgary can have a boil water order on
[35:50] and knock on every door and hand out to
everybody as well. I mean, I know we're
[35:54] not the same size, but I mean,
obviously, they have people that fall
[35:58] through the cracks. We'll have people
that fall through the cracks.
[36:03] I don't know what to say. We could as
part of our uh utility program, maybe we
[36:09] could take uh information on that side
and then we can have a fan out email
[36:14] that'll help cover some of the cracks,
but I doubt we'll ever be able to get
[36:19] across to everybody.
Okay.
[36:23] I mean, you could put it in the front
door and they use the back door. You can
[36:26] put it in the back door and use the
front door. I don't know.
[36:30] No, I know this person had wondered like
with the school buses, they have a group
[36:34] text if the bus isn't going to be I mean
to put 90 people on a group text is kind
[36:39] of
[snorts]
[36:42] » uh I'm sure it's not impossible.
>> It's doable.
[36:45] » Yeah.
>> Email.
[36:46] » Yeah,
that could be something that uh
[36:50] potentially on
on the office side they could look into
[36:54] » eliminating your need [laughter] for
door knockers.
[36:57] » They would be helpful for sure.
>> Had a text blast go out to everybody.
[37:00] Yeah,
>> you need both.
[37:03] » I think you would need both still. Yeah,
if if they're available. Like you said,
[37:06] this time they were right there.
[laughter]
[37:10] » It was advertised on social media.
>> Bruce,
[37:14] » yeah.
>> Although I know I got three or four
[37:19] older rateayers there that don't have
computers or that, right?
[37:23] » No.
>> Okay. Well, I think administration will
[37:26] have a conversation about that and maybe
look at a way we could enhance or
[37:30] improve on that, but for the most part,
I agree with you. There's no perfect
[37:34] solution for it. So,
>> when you bring up the summer students,
[37:39] are we able or is it even uh make sense
to train them for traffic?
[37:43] » You don't know which houses are traffic
control. Can they be trained in that way
[37:46] or is it a pretty involved procedure or
what?
[37:52] » I mean, it's not impossible. Um last
year we didn't use any traffic control.
[37:56] » Yeah.
>> So it's it's hit and miss.
[37:59] » Yeah.
>> Just project specific. Yeah. Very
[38:03] project specific.
>> Okay.
[38:07] Good conversation.
Um RFD salt and sanding.
[38:14] » You guys got a couple.
>> Yeah, I got a truck first.
[38:17] » We had a truck first.
>> Oh, on mine it shows the Okay, let's do
[38:20] the mechanic truck first then. You're uh
you're [laughter] right, Mike.
[38:23] » You're leading the show here, boss. So,
whatever you want to do.
[38:26] » Yeah, we'll start with No, I I listen to
the people. We start with the mechanic
[38:30] truck. [laughter]
>> No, that that's D on the thing, not C.
[38:35] » Okay. As presented in the planning
meeting. This is our mechanic truck. Um
[38:40] I went through canoe RMA pricing to uh
bring forward uh a couple units for
[38:47] council to look at. Uh we are within
budget.
[38:52] on this proposal. So, we had a truck
presented by commercial and a truck
[38:56] presented by brand track and trailer,
not tractor. Um, the commercial truck is
[39:02] a 2026
chassis. The brand truck is a 2024
[39:08] chassis.
Uh, the box on both of them are very
[39:12] similar.
Uh, the commercial truck is a is a super
[39:18] cab and the brand truck is a quad cab.
So,
[39:22] » what kind of trucks are they?
>> They're both Ford diesels.
[39:25] » Ford?
>> Yeah.
[39:27] » And we're not replacing a truck. I'm
sorry. This is
[39:29] » So, we have a 19 I believe it's a 91.
>> We're keeping it then.
[39:33] » No, we'll put it on.
>> Okay.
[39:36] » So, it's a replacement, not a
>> Okay. You might not have heard it
[39:42] because Oscar didn't have his mic on,
but he makes a motion to go with option
[39:45] one, um, commercial
truck, I believe it says.
[39:50] » Yeah.
>> Okay. Any other questions or comments on
[39:53] that mo motion?
>> This is coming with new tooling I see in
[39:57] there as well.
>> Yeah, we added some budget dollars for
[40:00] tooling.
>> So, it's got a compressor and
[40:04] » it has Yes, it has a compressor.
>> I'm assuming a crane. Yeah, it has a
[40:09] 5500 pound crane. It has compressor. It
has a 12vt 24volt booster pack.
[40:17] So,
um, yeah, it's done up pretty nice. So,
[40:22] okay. [cough] Other questions
[clears throat] or comments?
[40:26] All those in favor?
Opposed?
[40:30] Carried.
Okay. Are you guys doing good with road
[40:35] salt now?
>> That's Mike. Road [laughter] salt.
[40:38] » Well, in our book it says that you're
good.
[40:40] » They're here. Yeah, we'll we have three
RP. We'll get through here.
[40:44] » Okay. Road salt and sand mixing. So,
okay. So, seasonal road salt and sand
[40:50] mixing uh in the past uh I've always
used site energy. I have looked a few
[40:58] years back for another mixer. I did not
check this year for another mixer. We're
[41:03] kind of late in the game. something I
could look at going forward. Site is
[41:07] comes Site Energy comes to our location
and does all the mixing and uh they've
[41:13] done a pretty good job in the last 20
years.
[41:16] » How's the price comparable to last year?
>> It's up uh 35 cents I believe 610 last
[41:23] year
>> with fuel that's fairly
[41:27] » fairly negligible.
>> Okay, any other questions or comments?
[41:32] I make a motion to go with accept this
quote.
[41:37] » Okay. Thanks, Sean. All those in favor?
Opposed? Carried
[41:45] chip seal budget increase. So, the
square meters are presented at uh
[41:50] planning for our 2026 chip seal. Um
it's a little bit lower than what we're
[41:58] we're getting on site. So we completed
the first four projects.
[42:05] We have a we have a overage on budget if
we continue at this rate. Um so as
[42:13] opposed to cancelling one of our single
chip projects to stay within budget. Uh
[42:18] Tyson and I looked at numbers and
decided that if we present an overage to
[42:23] council and they approve it, we can stay
within budget and continue.
[42:29] Okay. So some of these just for a little
bit of uh information. So as we approve
[42:35] these projects, we're approving them for
November for uh chips seal in in the
[42:42] beginning of the year. We can maybe look
at this process a little differently.
[42:45] That will help us out. As we get in
there and we we rip the road and work it
[42:51] over, we can we can find that we can get
a little bit more surface area to
[42:55] stabilize, which is probably what
council wants. I mean, if if you have an
[42:59] 8 meter top, when you look at it, you
rip it and spread it and get it ready
[43:04] and you have, oh, we can get eight and a
half out of this. It makes more sense to
[43:08] stabilize eight and a half as supposed
to leave it up. So, this is where I ran
[43:11] into on one of our projects. We had got
a half a meter more than what was given
[43:15] to me by the measurement. So,
>> which is a good thing.
[43:19] » It It's a positive, but it does change
numbers.
[43:21] » Yeah. So,
>> I'll make that motion, Mike.
[43:25] » Thank you, Oscar. Good to hear you
buddy.
[43:28] » Any questions or comments?
>> If not, all those in favor? Opposed?
[43:35] Carried.
>> Okay. Fog seal budget edition as well.
[43:39] So in the fog seal, what happened here
was uh I made an error in the RFP.
[43:45] Uh I used miles
as my number but put kilometers in. So
[43:50] obviously when you convert miles to
kilometers, it's more. So, uh, that's
[43:55] where the mistake was made. So, I think
we have an overage approximately $8,700
[44:01] or something to the effect. I mean, we
had to get the final invoicing in. So,
[44:04] we went with the with this number here
to cover that for budget. So, it was an
[44:09] error in unit of measurement as opposed
to uh
[44:14] not measuring correctly.
>> Okay, I'll make a motion. We go with
[44:18] option one.
>> This this box seal seems better than
[44:22] last time. This is a different product.
Well, no. Last year, well, from what you
[44:27] saw in your area last time. Yeah. But
last year, we used the same product on
[44:32] the east end of MD, right?
>> And uh this year they
[44:36] » It sure seem to seal everything.
>> Yeah. It's it's a nice product. It's a
[44:40] It seems to be a little thicker. Kind of
flows into the low spots between the
[44:44] stones. Fills that in a bit. Stays soft.
You can go out there next month and can
[44:49] fingernail test it and it stays a little
softer.
[44:52] » Yeah. Okay,
>> Richard made the motion to go with
[44:55] option one and [clears throat] approve
the increase. All those in favor?
[45:01] Opposed?
Carried.
[45:05] Thanks, gentlemen.
[45:09] » Have a good day.
[45:17] » Yeah, you should.
>> Yeah, that's probably a good idea.
[45:40] Um, yes, last night I was out doing some
road checks, some mowing checks. Found a
[45:46] couple signs and
I think your mic.
[45:50] » Yep.
[45:54] Keep it
[45:57] » already.
[47:18] We have it in our package too though.
[47:35] Yes.
[47:44] » While they're while they're building uh
getting that ready here, we can just go
[47:48] around and do in introductions quick if
that works. We'll start with our parks.
[47:55] Director of
[48:06] » Tyson.
[48:10] » We met in the lobby.
[48:19] » Sean R.
>> Robin Leon.
[48:34] And then yeah, so just in behind us um
working on bringing this up is Stephen,
[48:38] our IT guy and Dana is our
development officer.
[48:47] So we'll just give it a second to come
up. So
[48:55] It's in the package.
>> It was in the package as well. Yeah.
[49:32] Perfect. I think we're good. So, thanks
for coming in and I'll let you ladies
[49:36] run with it.
>> Absolutely. So, um the three of us along
[49:40] with two other people are Irma trail
separate from the village of Irma. We
[49:47] are just a volunteer group that has
decided there's a little bit of a need
[49:53] for a community trail that's multiuse in
so we got together and had a meeting
[50:01] and uh we created a vision. We just want
to try, it might not look exactly like
[50:06] this picture, but um we're just trying
to create a safe and accessible
[50:12] community trail that is going to connect
throughout our town and um encourage
[50:17] some healthy living and connect our
neighborhoods a little bit, support some
[50:22] more recreation because right now a lot
of it happens on some sidewalks in our
[50:26] village, but a lot of it happens on the
roads
[50:30] and maybe help some tourism with
[50:35] celebrate some of that history that we
have.
[50:40] So, uh we have our mission here and we
are going to work with the village of
[50:45] Burma. We're hoping to work with you
guys as well and uh volunteers hopefully
[50:50] not just the five of us but um some
other volunteers pretty much show up in
[50:56] Irma once they see some of the product
that's produced. We're going to trying
[51:01] to get some funding either from some
local businesses or just fundraising
[51:06] ourselves and um then of course once the
trail is made it but then we also need
[51:12] to maintain it and support it afterwards
so we're as
[51:20] we have a phase one which is
approximately 1 I'll show you after of
[51:25] what that would look like we're hoping
in one year to have one put down we do
[51:30] have very uh longterm phase of a total
of six meters. That might be a little
[51:37] bit ambitious for us, but um we're going
to look at taking four years. We're
[51:41] going to see how the fundraising
[51:46] um on the next slide we have some goals.
These aren't in any particular order,
[51:51] but we want to complete the planning. We
have not started the planning of it
[51:56] other than where we would like to put
it. And then we have spoken with company
[52:01] that we would
um the biggest part is the funding. So
[52:06] we got to secure our funding and then we
would construct it. We're looking at a
[52:10] six foot wide trail and then
starting with that first kilometer then
[52:16] later four is completing the other
sections. We haven't decided an order
[52:21] for that. We know which first kilometer
we want but we don't know after that.
[52:25] And then goal five is to get some
community involvement. And we're hoping
[52:30] once we put that first down
[52:35] benefits them and
[52:39] there
[52:43] is asking the village to help us.
The trail is going to be six feet wide.
[52:50] It needs like it's clay base or the
existing base dug down. Then on top of
[52:56] that either crushed gravel or crushed
cementing used for that and the biggest
[53:02] cost is the ashalt on top
side but there would just be the ashalt
[53:07] surface with drainage on each side. We
were quoted approximately anywhere
[53:12] between $15 to $142 per square meter.
That doesn't sound too bad.
[53:22] thing. And this one's a little bit
smaller. This next slide will be a
[53:25] little bit smaller um for you to see and
maybe you can look at it yourself later.
[53:32] But we have the colorful parts or the
places we have talked about maybe
[53:36] putting down the after the first
section. Um you can see the word school
[53:42] there and golf course has a yellow line.
If you want to go to the next slide to
[53:47] see this is where we want to start. So
from the school that bright yellow
[53:52] highlighted line over to the golf course
or possibly a little bit further to the
[53:58] greener.
Um the approximate cost could range
[54:02] anywhere from $189,000 to $256,000
for that one.
[54:08] And the reason for that is our first
choice is there right now is there
[54:13] aren't any sidewalks coming from our
school. And so if you go to the next
[54:17] slide, this is the view parking lot from
the school. The curb on the right hand
[54:23] side is coming out of a staff parking
lot where a lot of students walk and
[54:28] they walk going towards the east on the
road. And at the other end of that road
[54:35] is the golf course. And we have a lot of
students on Monday nights go to probably
[54:40] 30 to 40 students walk along that road
to go golfing, carrying their golf
[54:44] clubs. And um there's a little bit of a
hill you can The second picture maybe
[54:49] shows that a little bit more and they
just walk straight across the road. We
[54:53] thought that would be a good starting
place for safety reasons and there's
[54:57] also a lot of students daily that walk
along that road to
[55:01] so that's where our starting place is
and if I could just point we would be
[55:06] starting in front of this is our museum
starting in front of this.
[55:16] So that's where we're hoping to start
and go to the first our first call.
[55:22] So why are we here? Our asks are um we
just I guess we want permission to
[55:28] proceed because some of this is on MD
land. Uh cooperating with you would be
[55:34] great as well, but also cooperation from
the people who own land in the MD who
[55:41] want permission to go and speak with
them or if there's a different that
[55:45] needs to take place. So ask them to
please
[55:49] some of it might be on their some of it
might be in front of their and then um
[55:56] any involvement that you can give us
would be great. I know that there is
[56:00] apparently a pile of um concrete and
perma that can be crushed up and we
[56:06] might be able to use that. Not that it's
owned by the MD, but something similar
[56:10] to that could be something we could look
at if we had any way to help us with
[56:14] that. So, that would be the last thing.
Supplies and tools.
[56:19] Right now, we're not able to ask for
money, but we're not saying we're not.
[56:24] [laughter]
But right now, we're just asking
[56:28] basically permission to proceed and ask
people who live in your guys's
[56:34] jurisdiction whether
[56:40] on their possibly.
So that's all I have to say.
[56:48] So they can
[56:54] » Yeah, we'll open it up for questions if
anybody has any questions or comments.
[56:58] What's the price?
>> Well, it would be
[57:04] 1.5 million if we proceeded with the six
phases for the six kilometers total. Um,
[57:11] I'm hoping the first kilometer goes down
and that might be worth it if that took
[57:18] a lot of work. You know, if it's if the
fundraising is coming from little bits
[57:23] at a time and there not isn't a lot of
community involvement and the community
[57:27] is
activities.
[57:33] If it's a struggle to get that first
meter done, that might be
[57:39] a commitment to the six meters. I feel
like we've sort of made a commitment.
[57:44] Not that anyone.
[57:49] » Okay. It would be at the highest end 1.5
million for
[58:01] the first
>> when Eddie talked to us um the person
[58:07] getting the he said the maximum would be
approximately a quarter million dollar
[58:14] but he's giving us that highest number
if we had to purchase all the gravel.
[58:19] If we didn't have any tools used from
the village office, let's say, or if you
[58:25] had tools, you know, if there was a cut
we could use, we had to pay for
[58:29] everything all in the 256,000.
[58:37] » Okay. I I I think we um
like just reading this correctly, you
[58:43] guys just want to make sure it's okay to
put it within the MD own property and
[58:48] that
>> you can have permission from the MD to
[58:51] go and speak to the residents about
putting it on there.
[58:54] » So, that's the first step. So, I I guess
I'll I'll kind of refer to Preston on
[58:59] this as our public works director if we
would have any issues or if there'd be
[59:03] any liabilities that you could foresee.
maintenance is first time line. So in
[59:11] your vision, Shelly, um where exactly
does this uh multi-use trail is it is it
[59:18] adjacent to the road? Is it 3 meters to
the north of the road? It looks like
[59:23] it's all on the north side, but
>> yeah. Um
[59:26] » yeah. So is it uh is it along the north
side of the the rightway? Is it like
[59:32] whereabouts is it? Just out of
curiosity. um
[59:34] » in your mind and maybe you haven't even
thought about that yet which is quite
[59:37] possible
>> about it because there is some fencing
[59:39] that is right side the museum that we
wouldn't need to be on the other side of
[59:45] that fencing we would be very close to
the road in some sections then there's
[59:50] also quite a deep ditch where we would
almost need to go to the bottom of the
[59:55] ditch and then that makes us have to
take a few trees out which now
[1:00:03] probably into the person's property. So
it it might I don't know if it would be
[1:00:09] uniform always right against the road. I
don't think that it right now can
[1:00:15] without a lot of alterations
[1:00:20] » because what comes to mind is what was
that?
[1:00:23] » Yeah, it sounds like it would all be in
the rightway in the north side. What
[1:00:26] comes to mind is uh in the winter time
when we snow plow um whoever cleans the
[1:00:32] trail we go by we fill it.
>> Right.
[1:00:36] » Right. So there there's some of that
unless there's a separation or I mean
[1:00:40] attaching it right to the should of the
road
[1:00:42] » in the future if we ever have to fix
that road that becomes an issue as well.
[1:00:46] So I think there's some communication
there. Uh, not that I'm trying to, you
[1:00:51] know, I'm just trying to make you more
aware of potentially what what we may be
[1:00:56] looking for so that we can try and
figure that out and work together.
[1:00:59] Right.
>> Yeah. And we presented to the office
[1:01:02] last week asking for maintenance on the
trail specifically and they gave us the
[1:01:07] thumbs up on that, but I hadn't thought
about when you guys are clearing that
[1:01:11] road now.
[1:01:15] » Yeah, potentially depending on where it
is, right?
[1:01:26] So this requires a development permit
Dana in a sense or what
[1:01:33] » council approve. Okay.
>> Yeah.
[1:01:37] » Right.
[1:01:40] » Gotcha. Wasn't sure if that right. Yeah.
I I think that a good next step would be
[1:01:46] it's it's hard for us until we know
exactly where it's going to be in the
[1:01:49] rightway
>> to give permission or not, but I'm not
[1:01:52] saying we're close to the idea.
>> I think we would don't want to
[1:01:55] discourage you in any way, shape, or
form, but I think it would be just for
[1:01:58] the next step a good good idea to have
um the local counselor and our public
[1:02:03] works director to come out there and get
a lay of the land and exactly on what
[1:02:06] you guys are looking at and then they
can report it back to us and then at
[1:02:10] that point we can have a more um
informed discussion on how it's going to
[1:02:14] look and what some of the what some of
the details would be.
[1:02:20] » Okay.
[1:02:32] » Okay.
>> Good.
[1:02:36] » Is that
[1:02:39] pretty good work?
And then in continuing phases, I
[1:02:44] encourage us to come to like the
Wayright Rural Rec Board and things like
[1:02:48] that as well or not just their local
one. Why wouldn't we go in on it as
[1:02:52] well?
[1:02:55] » I think it includes us. No, I like it.
>> I I think when
[1:02:58] » I don't mind,
[1:03:02] » let them do their wreck board first.
>> What about grants? Is there any grants
[1:03:10] that this would fall under? started.
>> You guys have started the process
[1:03:13] already. Okay.
>> Excellent.
[1:03:17] » Not yet.
>> Okay.
[1:03:19] » We've actually
[1:03:34] the items I brought up to discourage
project. It's to to help us, you know,
[1:03:41] build a better project for an end
result, right? That works good for the
[1:03:45] village of Irma and also works good for
the maintenance side as well because we
[1:03:49] don't need the two of them clashing and
that that just doesn't work in the end.
[1:03:54] » Yeah. And that higher end amount is, you
know, tree removal.
[1:03:59] » It's it's the most expensive it will.
So, if we fund raise that amount, it
[1:04:03] could possibly take us if there isn't a
lot.
[1:04:16] So [clears throat] if you go back to
um this is the golf course and this is
[1:04:24] so it doesn't show up very well but we
were thinking this one is more in nature
[1:04:29] and here we start in the village itself
it starts to get a little bit difficult
[1:04:34] because we don't have sidewalks So now
you're building something that's in the
[1:04:39] village that's ashalt that's taking the
place of the sidewalk.
[1:04:44] That's a mile up
[1:04:48] and
>> then this is like
[1:04:53] nature. This isn't a road. So this is
Donna Smallwood owns the land
[1:05:04] beside the golf course between the road
and the golf course
[1:05:08] » that would be right to the golf course
and then come back
[1:05:21] » that we we had talked about that being
our
[1:05:25] phase.
>> Um, and then possibly that purple line.
[1:05:34] » Yeah. Come basically be another way to
get to the village from that area.
[1:05:39] » Short walk or long walk.
>> Yeah,
[1:05:43] I think our first step too was safety.
And I guess that's why I got involved.
[1:05:48] So many children are on the boat. If
there was something that looked like a
[1:05:53] walking path or your bicycle could go up
there, it really moves the children's
[1:05:57] walk over because there's there's a lot
of near misses. We've got a lot of kids
[1:06:02] down that road all over and it would be
a lot and we have a lot that's
[1:06:13] » good. Yep. Any other questions or
comments?
[1:06:21] right next to the house.
[1:06:43] Well, I I think when Garnet and Preston
go out there and meet with them that
[1:06:46] when it does look where speeds start to
elevate and it's a concern, maybe there
[1:06:50] is the option to come on the outside,
but I I think I'll leave that in their
[1:06:54] hands to bring it back to us.
I I I hear what you're saying, Oscar,
[1:06:59] but we're kind of making some
assumptions and
[1:07:03] » I think it's best just to to go out and
meet with these folks.
[1:07:06] » Yeah, I think your first stretch is
should be like your lower speeds and it
[1:07:10] should
>> Well, that is that is a speed zone
[1:07:12] already.
>> And there is a lot of people walking out
[1:07:16] there
>> and there are a lot of people who walk
[1:07:18] on the road north of the golf course
>> already and their kids are on bikes and
[1:07:23] stuff. So, right now they are on the
road.
[1:07:25] moving them off of the road.
>> Better.
[1:07:29] » Look, it's the main walk.
>> Thank you very much for your time.
[1:07:32] » It's the main walk.
>> Thank you for coming in. So, we will um
[1:07:35] line it up with Garnet Preston and if
your contractor could be there, that
[1:07:38] would be ideal. But
>> there's a communication.
[1:07:41] » So, Shel, I'll contact you to organize a
meeting and then we'll go from there.
[1:07:44] I'll get some dates from you and we'll
look.
[1:07:46] » For sure. Thank you so You're welcome to
stay for coffee. We're going to break
[1:07:50] for coffee. You're welcome to stay if
you like or
[1:07:54] » guess that was
Okay, we'll get him out there as well.
[1:07:57] Yeah.
>> Okay, we're going to break for coffee.
[1:43:38] It's
>> all that counts.
[1:43:39] » Okay, we'll call the meeting back to
order.
[1:43:43] And getting into finance.
So, accounts were sent out on Friday
[1:43:48] after finance. Any questions or comments
on those?
[1:43:53] » If not, somebody want to move them.

Okay. Now we do the Battle River Wershed
[1:45:34] Alliance.

believe uh 20
[1:45:48] 22427 for for the year.
>> Is this the same amount Kelly we've give
[1:45:53] over the other years? I believe it's
very similar. Yes,
[1:45:56] » it's up a hair, isn't it?
>> Yeah. Thanks.
[1:46:00] » It might be up a hair, but it's it's
>> pretty close.

Okay. Next I have a RMA district 5

and usually council and administration
[1:46:44] will attend plus we'll have some of our
support staff because we are doing the
[1:46:47] administration for that uh meeting. So,
we'll probably have some assistance come
[1:46:52] along with us.
>> Okay. Any questions or comments on that?
[1:46:57] » I'll make a motion we go with option
number one, approve attendance.

[1:47:25] going back to
health and social services, there was an
[1:47:29] RFD for Viking request for physician
recruitment and we have asked for more
[1:47:34] information to bring it back and we
tabled it.
[1:47:38] So, we are back to
a conversation
[1:47:41] » more information.
Uh
[1:47:46] trying to remember what we were asking
for.

[1:47:53] information on what our

for our recruitment. So those numbers I
[1:48:04] believe we talked about at Strap Plan.
Richard, you weren't here, but we did
[1:48:07] have a discussion or that information
was presented at Strat Plan. Wasn't
[1:48:11] really much of a discussion. So,
what do you guys want to do with this?
[1:48:15] We've had it here a couple months now.
>> I make a motion we forward it to RMA.
[1:48:22] Option number two and make it try to

and the Reeve attended the Clear Lake
[1:51:20] wershed meeting this past Sunday and uh
they had a great turnout and we were
[1:51:24] able to share some updates with them on
the shoreline modification project. So
[1:51:28] great timing for that.
>> What's the consensus like around on
[1:51:35] shoreline?
>> They were really optimistic that we're
[1:51:38] finally about ready to hit go. Um, so a
number of people that were in attendance
[1:51:42] were people that are on our waiting
list. So really excited that we're we're
[1:51:46] finally on the home stretch and uh the
way it sits right now, none of them
[1:51:50] seemed um yeah, super intimidated by the
measures that are required. So
