[6. INTRODUCTION AND CONSIDERATION OF CORPORATE REPORTS]

AND THE COUNCIL APPROVED AN ADDITIONAL FIFTEEN THOUSAND FROM WORKING FUNDS FOR THE CREATION AND TRANSLATION OF THE LIBRARY SITE.

CAN I HAVE A MOVER, PLEASE.

MOVED BY COUNCILLOR PEARCE, SECOND BY COUNCILLOR TURNER.

MR. ANTUNES, FIRE AWAY.

GOOD EVEING YOUR WORSHIP, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY, AS ALWAYS, QUICK BACKGROUND.

ACCORDING TO LAST CENSUS, THE CITY OF ELLIOT LAKE HAS A [INAUDIBLE] POPULATION, STANDING AT SIXTY POINT FOUR PERCENT.

DURING THE 2020 BUDGET PROCESS COUNCIL APPROVED THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURE OF FIFTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM WORKING FUNDS TO CREATE THE FRENCH [INAUDIBLE] VERSION OF THE CITY WEBSITE.

THROUGH MR. GAGNON'S DIRECTION WE'RE CONSTANTLY SEARCHING FOR FUNDING WHERE AVAILABLE.

WE CAME ACROSS A PROGRAM THROUGH THE PROVINCE THAT'S CALLED THE [INAUDIBLE] COMMUNITY GRANT. ESSENTIALLY THE PROGRAMS ARE PUT OUT TO SUPPORT INITIATIVES THAT WILL FURTHER THE CAPACITY OF MUNICIPALITIES AND ORGANIZATION TO SUPPORT [INAUDIBLE] POPULATION IN THE PROVINCE.

THIS COMMUNITY AND [INAUDIBLE] AVAILABLE TO US, OFFERS UP TO FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS OF FUNDING AT EIGHTY CENT DOLLARS.

TO COVER PROJECTS SUCH AS THIS, 10 PERCENT CAN BE IN CASH, 10 PERCENT IN KIND BASED THROUGH THE PROGRAM. WE HAVE DONE SOME WORK WITH THE CITY'S WEBSITE SUPPLIER THAT THEY CAN CONFIRM THAT THEY CAN CREATE THE FRENCH WEBSITE AT A COST OF TWENTY THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN EXCLUSIVE OF TRANSLATION COSTS.

THE QUESTION WAS ASKED, MAY WE DO THE SAME FOR THE LIBRARY SITE TO EXTEND THAT SERVICE TO OUR FRENCH RESIDENTS AS WELL? AND THEY DID CLAIM THAT THAT ALSO COULD BE DONE WITH THE ADDITIONAL COST OF TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS, AGAIN, EXCLUDING TRANSLATION COSTS.

THE GRANT'S VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD AND ESSENTIALLY IT'S IT'S ONE OF THOSE WHEN WE SEARCH OUT AND IT WILL GREATLY REDUCE THE COST TO THE MUNICIPALITY.

TRANSLATION REMAINS THE LARGEST CHALLENGE IN THIS FINDING A FIRM THAT CAN TRANSLATE THE ROUGHLY FORTY ONE THOUSAND WORDS THROUGH THE WEBSITE.

BUT WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT WE HAVE FOUND A GOOD SUPPLIER, AGAIN.

IF THE GRANT ISN'T APPROVED, WE CAN SCALE BACK.

SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE ABLE TO SCALE FORWARD OR SCALE BACK, BUT THE GRANT VERY MUCH HELPS REDUCE THE COST OF GETTING SOMETHING THAT WAS ALREADY APPROVED THROUGH CAPITAL BUDGET EARLIER IN THE YEAR. SO THE ESTIMATE OF AN ADDITIONAL FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS IS A HIGH ESTIMATE FOR THE TRANSLATION PORTION OF IT.

BUT AS USUAL, WE'D RATHER REQUESTED A BIT MORE FROM COUNCIL AND SAY WE GOT IT FOR LESS THAN HAVING IT COME AGAIN, ASKING FOR MORE.

SO BASICALLY THE FINANCIAL IMPACT WOULD BRING THE COST OF THE FRENCH WEBSITE OR THE FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS WE'RE TAKE IT UP TO 50.

BUT IF THE GRANT IS SUCCESSFUL, WE WOULD BE JUST OVER NINETY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS, GIVE

[00:05:06]

SO THAT'S CERTAINLY A POSITIVE STEP FORWARD.

THAT'S IT IN A NUTSHELL, TRYING TO GET US THROUGH AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE THIS EVENING.

SO ANY QUESTIONS? I'M HAPPY TO HELP OUT HOW I CAN.

YOU'RE ON MUTE YOUR WORSHIP.

THANK YOU, MR. ANTUNES, COUNCILLOR PATRIE.

THANK YOU. I'M TOTALLY IN FAVOR OF ADDING THE LIBRARY TO THIS, I'M JUST NOT IN FAVOR OF ADDING THE FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS TO THE BUDGET.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS WE HAD APPROVED THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS, AND YOU'RE SAYING THAT IT'S GOING TO BE FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS TOTAL COST FOR BOTH PROJECTS? I THINK WE CAN DO THAT WELL WITHIN THE BUDGET IF WE'RE APPROVED FOR THE FUNDING.

I THINK THE FUNDING IS GREAT.

IF WE'RE GOING TO GET EIGHTY CENT DOLLARS, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT MORE THAN YOU NEED TO DO THE PROJECT. SO I WOULD LOOK FOR A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT THAT WE STRIKE THE LAST LINE OF RESOLUTION. MR. ANTUNES, IS THERE REASON, RATIONALE? THANK YOU, YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU TO COUNCILLOR PATRIE YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT COUNCILLOR PATRIE IF THE OPERATIVE WORD BEING IF WE RECEIVE THE GRANT, WE CERTAINLY ARE WELL WITHIN THAT RANGE.

IF WE ARE UNSUCCESSFUL WITH THE GRANT APPLICATION, THAT'S WHERE THE ADDITIONAL COST TO THE LIBRARY WOULD COME AND PLAY.

SO THE ADDITIONAL FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS WOULD ONLY BE IN THE EVENT THAT A, WE ARE UNSUCCESSFUL WITH THE GRANT AND B THAT WE WANT TO CONTINUE WITH DOING THE LIBRARY SITE AS WELL. AGAIN, STAFF IS CONFIDENT THAT IT WILL BE UNDER THE FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR RATE.

WE'RE WORKING VERY WELL AT SOURCING SUPPLIERS, BUT AGAIN, ERRING ON THE UPPER END WAS THE REASON FOR THE ASK. THANK YOU, COUNCILLOR MANN.

THANK YOUR WORSHIP THOUGH YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. ANTUNES, FOR THE REPORT.

CLEARLY, ANY WAY THAT WE CAN PROVIDE FRENCH LANGUAGE SERVICES ON ANY OF OUR WEBSITES, WE SHOULD BE DOING IT. I DO RECOGNIZE COUNCILLOR PATRIE'S CONCERNS REGARDING THE INCREASE TO THE BUDGET. HOWEVER, PENDING SUCCESS AND OBVIOUSLY BEFORE THIS WOULD GO AHEAD, IT WOULD COME BACK TO US ANYWAY FOR THE VENDOR, WOULD IT NOT? FOR CONFIRMATION OR IS THIS ONCE WE APPROVE IT TONIGHT, IT JUST MOVES FORWARD.

MR. ANTUNES? THROUGH YOUR WORSHIP, AS I UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS IS IF IT'S APPROVED TODAY, WE WOULD MOVE FORWARD. THE TIMING OF THE GRANT IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT.

THE SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS JULY 15TH AND THE RESPONSE IS SEPTEMBER 26 AT THE EARLIEST.

SO WE'VE GOT QUITE A WINDOW BEFORE THAT POINT.

BUT THE IDEA OF THE GRANT IS IS OR THE ASK TODAY TO COUNCIL IS IF WE ARE UNSUCCESSFUL FOR US TO SOLDIER ON AND GET EVERYTHING DONE AT ONCE.

THERE ARE QUITE A FEW ECONOMIES OF SCALE IN PLACE WITH THE WEBSITE DEVELOPER AND OF COURSE, THE TRANSLATION SERVICE TO KIND OF KNOCK EVERYTHING OFF AT ONCE WHICH WAS THE REASON [INAUDIBLE]. OK, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. COUNCILLOR TURNER.

THANK YOUR WORSHIP. AS FOR THE TRANSLATION AND CREATION OF THE FRANCOPHONE VERSION OF THE LIBRARY SITE, IS THIS COMING FROM THE LIBRARY'S BUDGET? THROUGH YOUR WORSHIP, AS I UNDERSTAND BY QUESTION, MS. SONNENBURG, WAS THAT IT WOULD COME THROUGH WORKING FUNDS AS A WHOLE.

CERTAINLY SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK INTO, BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT THROUGH THE OPERATIONAL SIDE FOR FOR THE CITY AND DOING IT AS A WHOLE PACKAGE ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE ITSELF.

SO THE IDEA THEN IS BECAUSE IT'S ON THE CITY SITE, IT'S REALLY IT'S A LINK OF THE CITY SITE. AND THE LIBRARY HAS ITS OWN BUDGET.

THAT'S WHY I ASK.

OH, I SEE MS. SONNENBURG'S NODDING HER HEAD, SO I WILL CERTAINLY DEFER TO SOMEONE WHO'S MUCH MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE THAN I.

MS. SONNENBURG, PLEASE.

THROUGH YOUR WORSHIP I.

THANK YOU, MR. TURNER, COUNCILLOR TURNER.

I HAD NOT CONSIDERED THE FACT THAT THE LIBRARY DOES HAVE A HEALTHY RESERVE AND THAT SHOULD WE BE SUCCESSFUL WITH OBTAINING THIS GRANT, THAT IT COULD BE VERY POSSIBLE AND.

AN EXCELLENT IDEA TO UTILIZE LIBRARY RESERVE I WAS THINKING OFF THE CUFF WHEN MR. ANTUNES ASKED ME AND I SAID THAT WE SHOULD USE THE WORKING FUNDS TO COVER ANY SHORTFALL.

HOWEVER, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, BEING THAT THIS IS A LIBRARY ACTIVITY AND YOU'RE

[00:10:03]

THERE'S NO REASON THAT THE LIBRARY RESERVES COULDN'T COVER THIS AND THEY HAVE AN AMPLE BALANCE. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

AND I WOULD DEFINITELY SUPPORT THAT AS A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT.

SO FRIENDLY AMENDMENT MOVER AND SECONDER THAT WE CHANGE THE ADDITIONAL FIFTEEN THOUSAND FROM WORKING FUNDS, CHANGE IT TO AN ADDITIONAL FIFTEEN THOUSAND FROM THE LIBRARY RESERVES. IS THAT OK WITH THE MOVER AND SECONDER? YEAH.

OK, PERFECT. THANK YOU. THAT HELPS THE SITUATION OUT A BIT, COUNCILLOR PEARCE YOU'RE UP NEXT THEN COUNCILLOR FINAMORE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU.

TOM TURNER BEAT ME TO IT AGAIN.

THE I THOUGHT THE COMING THROUGH THE LIBRARY FUND WE HAVE CERTAINLY HAVE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT FUNDS THERE. AND I WOULD ALSO AGREE WITH WITH COUNCILLOR MANN THE I MEAN, THIS IS A SERVICE THAT WE NEED TO DO FOR OUR CITIZENS, OUR FRANCOPHONE CITIZENS.

AND I'M REALLY GLAD TO SEE AN INITIATIVE LIKE THIS.

SO THANK YOU TO MR. ANTUNES, THANK YOU TO MS. SONNENBURG. AND TOM JUST SLOW DOWN A LITTLE BIT.

WILL YOU OK? THANK YOU.

COUNCILLOR COUNCILLOR FINAMORE. YOU'RE ON YOUR MUTE SANDY.

ALL RIGHT. I WAS I WAS UNMUTED AND I REMUTED SORRY.

THANK YOU. MS. THROUGH YOU TO MR. ANTUNES. THANK YOU FOR THE REPORT.

I THINK ESSENTIALLY WHAT YOU'RE JUST ASKING US, BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY APPROVED THIS THROUGH THE BUDGET, IS THAT IF YOU'RE ADDING THE LIBRARY AND I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA AND I THINK THAT THE MORE FRANCOPHONE INFORMATION WE CAN PROVIDE THE COMMUNITY, THE BETTER OFF THE COMMUNITY IS AS A WHOLE.

AND I.

LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING HOW WE DO IT WITH THE THE OTHER THING IS, IS THAT TOGETHER WITH THE TWO DIFFERENT PROJECTS, IF WE APPROVE THIS TONIGHT, DOES THAT GIVE YOU A BIT BETTER OF NEGOTIATING FOR PRICE? AND DO YOU HAVE TO WAIT TO HEAR ABOUT THE FUNDING BEFORE YOU CAN START THIS PROCESS? OR IS IT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN START AND.

BE BILLED BACK IF YOU GET THE FUNDING? THOUGH YOU YOUR WORSHIP TO COUNCILLOR FINAMORE THE WAY THE GRANT IS WORDED, IT'S VERY MUCH YOU NEED TO WAIT TILL WE TELL YOU THAT YOU'VE BEEN APPROVED TO MOVE FORWARD.

SO WE CERTAINLY HAVE DONE SOME OF THE GROUNDWORK, THE GROUNDWORK IN GETTING THE QUOTING DONE. AND THAT'S KIND OF BEEN HALF THE BATTLE.

THE REST OF IT IS IS A FAIRLY I DON'T WANT TO SAY IT'S SIMPLISTIC AS IT ISN'T, BUT ONCE IT BEGINS ROLLING, IT BECOMES A BEAST ALL ON IT'S OWN.

SO ONCE WE GET THE GO AHEAD ON THE TWENTY SIXTH SEPTEMBER BETWEEN THE WEB DESIGN FIRM AND THE TRANSLATORS, IT'S JUST A MATTER OF COMPILING INFORMATION AT THAT POINT AND TRANSLATING. THANK YOU SO COUNCILLOR CYR, WE'RE JUST DISCUSSING THE UPDATING THE CITY'S WEBSITE AND LIBRARY WEBSITE TO BE COMPLETELY BILINGUAL.

ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS BEFORE I CALL FOR THE VOTE? NO. OK, THANK YOU.

THEN ROLL CALL, VOTE IT IS.

AS AMENDED, THE ADDITIONAL 15,000 COME OUT OF THE LIBRARY RESERVES, I'LL START COUNCILLOR FINAMORE.

IN FAVOR.

COUNCILLOR CYR. IN FAVOR.

COUNCILLOR MANN.

IN FAVOR. COUNCILLOR TURNER.

FAVOR. COUNCILLOR PEARCE.

IN FAVOR. AND I'M IN FAVOR THAT'S CARRIED.

THANK YOU AGAIN, MR. ANTUNES.

SIX POINT TWO REPORT FROM THE MANAGER OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT RE: MARINA DOCKING.

THE RECOMMENDATION THAT THE REPORT OF THE MANAGER OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DATED JULY 8TH, 2021 BE RECEIVED AND THAT THE PROPOSED BOAT SLIP RENTAL RATES BE APPROVED AS SUBMITTED AND THAT THE USER FEE BYLAW BE AMENDED AS REQUIRED TO ALLOW THE MUNICIPALITY TO CHARGE BOAT SLIP RENTAL FEES, I LOOK FOR A MOVER.

MOVED BY COUNCILLOR PEARCE, SECONDER? SECOND BY COUNCILLOR TURNER, THANK YOU, MRS. VLAHOVICH, IF YOU WOULD, PLEASE.

[INAUDIBLE] THIS EVENING WE HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU THE PROPOSITION FOR MANAGEMENT OF THE BOAT SLIPS ARE ELLIOT LAKE BOAT LAUNCH.

THIS HAS BEEN A MULTIPLE STAFF COLLABORATION TO PUT TOGETHER SOMETHING THAT INCLUDES RISK MITIGATION TO THE MUNICIPALITY IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR INSURANCE, AS WELL AS THE ENFORCEMENT PIECE WITH THE [INAUDIBLE] DEPARTMENT.

SO AS YOU ARE AWARE, THE INITIAL INTENT OF THE WATERFRONT PROJECT WAS TO COMPLEMENT OUR

[00:15:03]

THE MARINA STYLE DOCKING WAS PROPOSED TO BE HAS 20 SLIP UNITS AND IT WAS PROPOSED TO 10 SEASONAL SLOTS AND 10 SHORT TERM RENTALS FOR A TOURIST ATTRACTION.

AT THE LAST MEETING THAT WE DISCUSSED, THIS COUNCIL DID SUPPORT THE IN-HOUSE MANAGEMENT OF THE AREA AND STAFF CONTINUES TO RECOMMEND THAT THE AREA BE DIVIDED INTO THE 10 AND 10 SEASONAL SLIPS, AS THIS WAS PART OF THE ORIGINAL SUBMISSION TO THE FUNDER.

SO WE'D LIKE TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THAT INITIAL INTENT.

AS TIME GOES ON, IF WE FIND THERE TO BE MORE OF A DEMAND FOR SEASONAL OR FOR SHORT TERM, WE HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO BRING BACK TO COUNCIL BECAUSE IT IS MANAGED IN-HOUSE.

ACTUALLY WELL ON A SEASON PER SEASON BASIS, WE CAN REVIEW IT.

WE HAVE RECEIVED QUITE A BIT OF PUBLIC INTEREST IN A SEASONAL SPOT.

WE'VE KEPT A LIST GOING AND THOSE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WILL BE NOTIFIED SHOULD THIS PASS TONIGHT. AND THEN OBVIOUSLY, AS WE KNOW, ONTARIO IS PROGRESSING THROUGH ITS OPENING PHASES. SO MARINAS ARE ELIGIBLE TO BE OPEN AT THIS TIME.

SO WE CAN RENT SLIPS, SO AS PART OF THE WORK THAT WAS DONE AND DUE DILIGENCE, WE DRAFTED A RENTAL AGREEMENT THAT WILL ACT AS THE INFORMATION AND FEE CHARGING REPORT, AS WELL AS THE ENFORCEMENT PIECE FOR OUR [INAUDIBLE] DEPARTMENT.

THE RENTAL AGREEMENT INCLUDES THE PROVISIONS FOR RULES AND RESPONSIBILITY THAT WILL PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT IN RELATION TO SUCH THINGS AS EXCUSE ME, OIL AND GAS STORAGE, RESTRICTIONS ON SERVICING OR ANY MAINTENANCE TO BE DONE WHILE IN THE WATER, AS WELL AS RULES FOR ENTERING, EXITING FOR SAFETY AND THEN GENERAL BEHAVIOR WHILE USING THE PUBLIC SITE. SO IT DOES HAVE QUITE A BIT OF AN OVERARCHING PROTECTION FOR THE MUNICIPALITY.

SEASONAL RENTALS WILL BE ALL LOCATED ON ONE SIDE OF THE UNIT AND SHORT TERM WILL BE ON THE OTHER SIDE. SO IT'S VERY EASY FOR STAFF TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE WHERE EACH IS PARKING. SO THE TWO TYPES OF RENTALS, AS I NOTED, ARE SHORT TERM AND SEASONAL.

SHORT TERM WILL BE COMPLETED THROUGH UTILIZING THE STAFF AT THE WELCOME CENTER TRAILER WITH THE PARK RENTAL AGREEMENT AND THEN PAY BY THE MEANS OF THE TRAILER.

SHORT TERM IS INTENDED, AS I NOTED, FOR TOURISM VISITORS.

AND THIS IS TO MAKE IT SIMPLER FOR THOSE WHO ARE HERE, EITHER CAMPING [INAUDIBLE] TRAILER PARK OR VISITING FAMILY TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR THEM TO ENJOY OUR WATER SPORTS NEARBY INSTEAD OF HAVING TO TOW IN TOW OUT.

IT WOULD ALSO HOPEFULLY HELP ELIMINATE SOME OF THE PARKING ISSUES THAT CAN BE SEEN.

THEY CAN BE RENTED WEEKLY, MONTHLY.

WE DO HAVE A DAILY RATE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT FOR TONIGHT, AND THIS IS NOT INTENDED AS DAY USE, BUT INTENDED IF ANYONE IS RENTING FOR LESS THAN SEVEN DAYS.

SO A THREE DAY PERIOD OR FOUR DAY PERIOD.

CREDIT CARD INFORMATION WILL BE DUE UPON BOOKING AND THAT WILL ALSO GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHARGE THOSE WHO ARE NOT REMOVED AT THE END OF THEIR BOOKING.

OR WE ALSO WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO REMOVE THAT UNIT SHOULD THEY BE BOOKED AGAIN THAT SLIP. SO IT WILL PROTECT THAT WAY AS WELL.

SEASONAL SPOTS ARE TYPICALLY GOING TO RUN FROM THE OPENING OF THE MAIN ELLIOT LAKE BOAT LAUNCH SITE, WHICH WOULD BE AROUND THE MAY LONG WEEKEND AND RUN UNTIL THANKSGIVING WEEKEND. SO FOR THIS YEAR, THE SEASONAL SPOT IS RECOMMENDED TO BE FROM JULY 27TH TO OCTOBER 11TH. THE SEASONAL RATES HAVE BEEN DETERMINED BASED ON REVIEW OF OTHER MARINAS IN OUR NORTH SHORE AREA AND HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED BELOW.

IN ORDER TO PRESENT A FAIR OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE TO BE ABLE TO GET A RENTAL SLIP WITH A ONLY TENANT AVAILABLE.

WE HAVE SO I MAY HAVE SUPPLIED THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A LOTTERY.

THIS LOTTERY PACKAGE THAT I'VE INCLUDED TONIGHT, THERE'S NO CHARGE TO SUBMIT.

YOU WOULD JUST PUT IN YOUR NAME THE VESSEL INFORMATION, AND THEN WE WILL DRAW ON JULY TWENTY SIXTH. AND AT THAT POINT YOU'LL HAVE 48 HOURS TO MAKE A PAYMENT AS WELL AS MEET THE INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE REQUIRED IN THE AGREEMENT.

SO IT'S A FAIR, OPEN SITE FOR EVERYBODY.

AND WE WILL PICK THE FIRST 10 THAT COME OUT IF BY CHANCE YOU DON'T MAKE THE FORTY EIGHT HOUR TIME LINE THEN YOU WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST.

SO THE SUGGESTED RATES IS A DAILY EIGHT DOLLARS WEEKLY, FIFTY FIVE MONTHLY, ONE FIFTY AND SEASONAL THREE FIFTY.

IT'S ALSO NOTED IN THE REPORT DUE TO THE SHORTENED SEASONAL RATE THAT WE WOULD LOOK AT POTENTIALLY PRO-RATING THAT FOR THE REMAINDER OF SEASON.

WE KNOW THAT THERE IS INTEREST IN THE SITE, WE WANT TO GET UP AND RUNNING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, SO WE WILL BE LOOKING TO START JULY TWENTY SEVENTH.

BUT WE DO KNOW THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME SECURITY FOR INSTALLATION, MINOR COSTS

[00:20:03]

SO WE COME AND GO.

SOMEONE WITH A SEASONAL WOULD ALWAYS HAVE THEIR PHONE READY AND CAN LOCK.

THERE'S A FEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR SECURITY THERE.

IF YOU USE KEY CARDS OR SOMETHING ALONG THAT LINE, PEOPLE WILL GIVE THEM TO EACH OTHER OR SHARE. MOST OF THE TIME PEOPLE AREN'T SHARING THEIR CELL PHONES.

SO JUST GIVES A LITTLE BIT OF MORE POTENTIAL PRIVACY THERE AND SECURITY FOR US.

IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO TRACK WHO IS IN AND OUT TIMES IN DIFFERENT WAY.

AND IT'S A COMPUTER BASED CLOUD SYSTEM THAT WOULD ALLOW REAL TIME ACCESS FOR STAFF TO PROVIDE A PIN ACCESS FOR SHORT TERM RENTERS AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE AND REVOKE AT THE TIME THAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE REMOVED.

THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A CLOUD BASED PROGRAM, LIKE I SAID, AND IT IS ANOTHER LEVEL OF TECHNOLOGY. SO WE REVIEWED IT A LOT.

BUT I WILL MAKE SURE BEFORE IMPLEMENTING ANY PROGRAMING THAT WE DO RUN THIS THROUGH WITH THE IT DEPARTMENT.

AND THEN THE LIKE I SAID A GATE.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT HAVING THIS DONE THROUGHOUT THE SEASON, BUT IN THE SHORT TERM, WE WILL GET UP AND RUNNING WITH PROPER NUMERATION OF EACH SLIP AND A PERMIT TAG WILL BE DISPLAYED IN EACH VESSEL WHILE IT'S DOCKED.

SO IT'S EASY FOR ENFORCEMENT TO BE ABLE TO WALK AND MAKE SURE THAT THE RIGHT SLIP IS IN THE RIGHT OR THE RIGHT BOAT IS IN THE RIGHT SLIP.

AS FAR AS FINANCIAL IMPACT.

WE HAVE SOME MINOR CAPITAL COSTS FOR NUMBERING THE GATE AND THE [INAUDIBLE] PIN SYSTEM AND STAFF TIME FOR DOING THE RENTALS AND ENFORCEMENT.

THERE WILL BE REVENUE ASSOCIATED WITH THE RENTALS.

SO IT'S RECOMMENDED THAT ANY COST AFTER COVERING THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS, THAT WE CAN LOOK AT A RESERVE ACCOUNT POTENTIALLY FOR PUTTING THE MONEY AWAY FOR ADDITIONAL EXPANSION IN FUTURE YEARS.

THIS DOES ALIGN WITH MANY AREAS OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN, INCLUDING TOURISM AND PROVIDING ACTIVITIES FOR HEALTHY LIFESTYLES.

AND AND THE SUMMARY USING THIS IN-HOUSE SLIP PROGRAM WILL ALLOW US TO TAKE STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE OF ITS NEWLY, OUR CITY'S NEWLY REVITALIZED WATCH AND MARKET THE AREA FOR TOURIST ATTRACTION WHILE STILL PROVIDING QUALITY CONTROL OF A NICE NEW ASSET THAT WE DO HAVE. THANK YOU, MS. VLAHOVICH, I HAD TWO QUESTIONS BUT YOU ANSWERED THEM THROUGH YOUR REPORT, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. I THINK I HAVE COUNCILLOR PEARCE HAD A QUESTION FOLLOWED BY COUNCILLOR MANN.

THANK YOU, YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU.

THANK YOU, MS. VLAHOVICH FOR YOUR REPORT.

I HAVE A COUPLE OF CONCERNS.

THE FIRST ONE HAS TO DO WITH, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, IF I WANT TO GET.

A RENTAL OF A SLIP, I GO TO THE WELCOME CENTER, WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE PARK ACROSS THE ROAD, AND THEN I COME BACK AND THAT ALLOWS ME TO GET IN.

IS THAT CORRECT? YES.

WHY WOULD WE NOT HAVE THE PAYMENT SYSTEM RIGHT DOWN THERE AT THE WATERFRONT AS OPPOSED TO UP ACROSS THE ROAD? PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE DRIVING IN WITH THEIR BOATS, THEY ARE GOING TO BE ON TRAILERS.

IT SEEMS TO ME TO BE LOGICAL THAT YOU COULD HAVE LIKE YOU'D ACTUALLY HAVE THE WELCOME CENTER LOCATED DOWN THERE AS WELL, WHERE IT'S MUCH MORE VISIBLE.

BUT THAT'S A WHOLE OTHER QUESTION WE DON'T WANT TO GET INTO, IS IT? BUT NEVERTHELESS, I THINK IT MAKES MORE SENSE TO DO IT THAT WAY.

MY OTHER CONCERN IS ENFORCEMENT.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE TWO BYLAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, WHO IS GOING TO BE ENFORCING THIS? I'M ASSUMING IT'S JUST THEM.

IF THAT'S THE CASE, ARE THEY GOING TO BE SPENDING THEIR WEEKENDS DOWN AT THE AT THE DOCKS MAKING SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE ADHERING TO THE SYSTEM? OR ARE WE GOING TO FIND SOME OTHER WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT ENFORCEMENT IS PROPERLY HANDLED? THANK YOU. SO FIRST, IN REGARDS ADMINISTRATION ON THE PAYMENTS RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE WE'RE KIND OF GETTING UP HALFWAY THROUGH A SEASON AND IT'S BEEN AN INTERESTING YEAR, WE WANTED TO UTILIZE EXISTING ASSETS.

THERE'S NOT A LOT OF ROOM PARKING WISE DOWN AT THE STRUCTURE.

SO WE COULD DEFINITELY LOOK AT MOVING THE TRAILER.

BUT IT JUST IT'S UP AND RUNNING AND OPERATIONAL WITH THE PROPER EQUIPMENT, COMPUTERS AND PAYMENT TECHNOLOGY. SO IT'S JUST THE MOVING OF THAT.

I WANTED TO FIND SOMETHING THAT WAS QUICK TO GET US UP AND OPERATIONAL NOW THAT MARINAS ARE ABLE TO BE OPEN. BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY LOOK AT THAT ADMINISTRATIVELY, INTERNALLY AND [INAUDIBLE] HOW WE DO WITH THE PAYMENTS.

AND THEN AS FAR AS ENFORCEMENT WITH STAFFING, I WOULD DEFER TO THE CLERK FOR THAT PIECE.

[00:25:06]

SO IF THERE WAS A VIOLATION ON A WEEKEND, WE COULD DEFINITELY BE CALLED IN AND TO TAKE ANY ACTION REQUIRED. BUT THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE'LL BE LOOKING AT IN THE 2022 BUDGET PROCESS.

THANK YOU. COUNCILLOR MANN.

THANK YOUR WORSHIP, I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS.

THANK YOU, MS. VLAHOVICH FOR YOUR REPORT.

I KNOW THAT OBVIOUSLY THIS ONE NEEDS TO GET MOVING.

SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING FORWARD THIS EVENING.

I GUESS MY FIRST QUESTION IS WHAT KIND OF MECHANISM INTERNAL TO THE TO STAFF WILL BE PUT IN PLACE SO THAT A SEASONAL INDIVIDUAL WHO IS UNSUCCESSFUL IN THE LOTTERY CAN'T BUY A MONTHLY SPOT FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR? WHAT MECHANISMS ARE GOING TO BE IN PLACE TO ENSURE THAT THE SHORT TERMS AREN'T SCOOPED UP FOR LARGE PERIODS OF TIME AS WELL? THAT'S MY FIRST QUESTION.

AS FAR AS SEASONAL OR SO MONTHLY, THE SHORT TERM RENTALS MONTHLY WILL BE SOLD, ALL SHORT TERM WILL BE SOLD FIRST COME FIRST BASIS.

AND SO IF YOU PURCHASE A ONE MONTH, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO PURCHASE IT JUST LIKE ANYBODY ELSE. AND BUT YOU CAN'T PURCHASE TWO OR THREE MONTHS CONSECUTIVELY.

SO WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A FAILSAFE ON THAT AND THEN WE CAN LOOK AT OUR AVAILABILITY. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I CAN HONESTLY SAY I DIDN'T REALLY THINK OF, WHICH I'M NOT SURE I DIDN'T BUT, KNOWING THAT NOW WE DO STILL HAVE TIME TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT THAT SO MANY CONSECUTIVE SLOTS HAVE TO BE FOR SHORT TERM VERSUS MONTHLY USE, SHORT TERM, MEANING A WEEK OR LESS.

BASICALLY, WE CAN PROVIDE THAT.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE IN THERE.

ALTHOUGH, YOU KNOW, WHETHER I WAS BUYING FOR A MONTH OR NOT, IT'S NICE TO SEE ALL THE SLIPS FULL. BUT WE DO HAVE A REQUIREMENT TO HAVE THAT TOURISM PIECE IN THERE.

SO HAVING A SAFEGUARD TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO HAVE SOME AVAILABLE FOR TOURISTS IN AND OUT OF THE COMMUNITY WOULD BE BENEFICIAL.

OK. FOLLOW UP YOUR WORSHIP.

SURE. I THINK IT IS. YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

IT WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE IT COMPLETELY FULL.

HOWEVER, WE WERE ALL MADE AWARE OF A SITUATION LAST WEEK WHERE AN INDIVIDUAL RAN INTO SOME ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLE AND NEEDED TO DOCK FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, IF ALL THE SPOTS WERE TAKEN. THERE IS NO COURTESY SPOT AVAILABLE FOR ANYONE, EVEN A DAY USE INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS TO DOCK. AGAIN, AS I'VE SAID SEVERAL TIMES, I HAVEN'T SEEN MUCH OF COUNCIL USING THIS, SO I CAN SAY I USE IT.

I THINK MOST OF ANYONE ON COUNCIL, PARKING IS STILL A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE.

SAFETY IS STILL A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE IN THE PARKING LOT.

AND WITH MORE BOATS, THAT MEANS MORE PARKING, NOT NECESSARILY TRAILERS.

BUT AGAIN, I STILL HAVE SOME CONCERNS THAT I THINK WE NEED TO JUST BE VERY CLEAR.

I CAN SEE BYLAW BEING EXTREMELY BUSY, AT LEAST INITIALLY, AND I CAN SEE CONCERN.

SO IF IF NOW'S THE TIME TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT REGARDING SOME TYPE OF MECHANISM TO ENSURE THAT. SPOT 11, WE'LL CALL IT, DOESN'T BECOME SEASONAL.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE THAT MOTION.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WORDING WE'RE NEEDING FOR THIS, BUT I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE LIMITS ON THE OF THE SHORT TERM TO MAKE IT TRULY SHORT TERM, BECAUSE CLEARLY SOMEONE IN THE LOTTERY PROCESS IS GOING TO MISS OUT AND THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO DOCK FOR THE SEASON.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE TRULY DOING ONE OR THE OTHER.

AND MAYBE WE NEED TO ALSO ADD ONE OR TWO SPOTS FOR CLEARLY COURTESY, NO PARKING OVERNIGHT. DAY USE ONLY, EMERGENCY PURPOSES ONLY BECAUSE THREE OR FOUR BOATS WAITING IN LINE TO COME OUT OF TWO SLIPS IS EXTREMELY PROBLEMATIC.

ON A SATURDAY AFTERNOON, WHEN IT'S ALMOST 30 DEGREES, PEOPLE ARE NOT.

NECESSARILY PROVIDING THE COURTESY THAT THEY SHOULD, AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S SAFE AND THERE ARE INTERACTIONS THAT DON'T NEED TO OCCUR DOWN THERE, EITHER IN THE WATER OR AT THE DOCK OR IN THE PARKING LOT.

THANK YOU.

OK. COUNCILLOR MANN. I SEE A LOT OF NODDING HEADS THERE WITH YOUR COMMENTS, PERHAPS DIRECTION TO STAFF WITH THE POINTS YOU'VE MADE, MIGHT SUFFICE TO TAKE CARE OF SOME OF THESE ISSUES. I DON'T WANT TO HOLD IT UP ANY LONGER, THOUGH, YOUR WORSHIP, THAT'S MY CONCERN AS WELL, WHETHER WE'RE WHETHER WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT THE LOTTERY PROCESS MOVE FORWARD AND SOME OF THE OTHER MECHANICAL PIECES COME BACK, WHATEVER.

BUT AGAIN, WE'RE WE'RE MIDDLE OF JULY.

PEOPLE ARE GOING TO WANT TO USE THEM.

AND IT WOULD BE REALLY NICE TO SEE THEM OPENED AS WE CONTINUE TO OPEN.

[00:30:02]

OK. THANK YOU. MS. VLAHOVICH.

THINK MAYBE FOR THIS YEAR BECAUSE IT IS A SHORTENED SEASON AND IT'S GOING TO BE A BIT OF A LEARNING CURVE BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T MANAGED ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN-HOUSE WELL SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE. ANYWAYS, MAYBE AN EASY FIX THIS YEAR IS TO REMOVE THE MONTHLY OPTION AND STAY WITH JUST THE WEEKLY RATE AND SEE WHAT OUR DEMAND AND USAGE IS THIS YEAR AND READDRESSED FOR THE 2022 SEASON.

I WAS GOING BASED ON RESEARCH FOR THE AREA AND IN BOTH [INAUDIBLE] THEY DO HAVE A MONTHLY RATE, NOT APPLES TO APPLES, OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE ON THE BIG WATER AND THEY HAVE THEY HAVE YOU KNOW PEOPLE LIVE IN THEIR BOATS ALL SUMMER LONG, THEY STAY AT THE DOCKS.

SO THAT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

BUT I THINK TO FULLY MEET OUR INTENT WITH THE TOURISM, I THINK, AND ADDRESS SOME OF THESE CONCERNS COUNCILLOR MANN I WOULD RECOMMEND MAYBE WE REMOVE THAT MONTHLY RATE AND STAY WITH DAILY, WEEKLY AND SEASONAL FOR THIS YEAR AND GET THE INFORMATION WE NEED TO TO BE BETTER SUITED FOR THAT IN 2022.

I WOULD MOVE THAT AMENDMENT.

OK, SECONDER FOR THAT AMENDMENT.

OK, COUNCILLOR CYR, JUST WANT TO COUNCILLOR MANN'S OTHER COMMENTS THERE ABOUT A COURTESY SLIP, IS IT POSSIBLE TO MARK ONE OF THE STEPS AS A POTENTIAL EMERGENCY DOCKING THE SPOT FOR ANYONE THAT HAS.

THAT POTENTIAL EMERGENCY, SO IT'S CLEARLY MARKED AND IT CAN STAY CLEAR, MS. VLAHOVICH? YES, WE WOULD LOOK AT IT GOING DOWN TO 10 SEASONAL AND NINE SHORT TERM, THEN WE COULD HAVE ONE USE FOR THAT.

WE COULD POTENTIALLY USING THE OUTER LAST SLIP AS THAT EMERGENCY ONE OR AS COUNCILLOR MANN NOTICE NOTED THAT, YOU KNOW, ON A HOT DAY LIKE TODAY, THERE'S SOMETIMES A LINE UP FOR THE TWO LAUNCHES. SO WE COULD LOOK AT USING THAT AS SORT OF A TEMPORARY PARKING WHILE WE'RE WAITING. IT WILL PROVIDE IT WON'T BE FOR ANY OFFLOADING OR UNLOADING, THOUGH, BECAUSE EVENTUALLY THERE WILL BE A GATE AT THE END OF THE UNIT.

BUT WE COULD LOOK AT RESERVING THAT OUTSIDE SLIP THAT'S THE FURTHEST INTO THE WATER AS A TEMPORARY OR EMERGENCY DOCKING SITUATION.

PERFECT. THANK YOU. MS. VLAHOVICH. ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS ON THE AMENDMENT OR CAN WE VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT AND GO BACK TO IT. OK WE'LL VOTE ON THE THE AMENDMENT THAT THE COUNCILLOR MANN HAS PROPOSED ALL IN FAVOR.

ANY OPPOSED. THAT'S CARRIED, CARRY ON AS AMENDED I HAVE COUNCILLOR FINAMORE, THEN COUNCILLOR TURNER. COUNCILLOR FINAMORE.

THANK YOU, YOUR WORSHIP. I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS I'M WONDERING.

FIRST OF ALL, I THINK I HAVE A COMMENT.

I'M STILL NOT IN. I UNDERSTAND THE FUNDING WAS GOT, WAS RECEIVED AS PART OF A TOURISM INITIATIVE. I STILL AM NOT IN FAVOR OF RENTING OUT THE BOAT LAUNCHES FOR SEASONAL.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SEASONAL PEOPLE THAT CAN AFFORD TO DOCK THE BOAT AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT TOURISTS, BUT WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT THE EVERYDAY CITIZEN THAT USES ELLIOT LAKE AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.

I'M ALSO HAS SOME CONCERNS ABOUT TRAILER STORAGE.

I WOULD HOPE IN THE RENTAL AGREEMENT THAT YOU COULD PUT IN THERE THAT THEY MUST REMOVE THE TRAILERS, THAT WE'RE NOT WE DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO STORAGE.

WE OBVIOUSLY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM FOR IN AND OUT, LET ALONE FOR PEOPLE TO LEAVE THEIR TRAILERS FOR A WEEK OR OR FOR SEASONALLY.

I'M WONDERING IF SOMEHOW SEASONAL BOATERS CAN BE ASSIGNED A CERTAIN PLACE TO PARK BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO SEE 20 PEOPLE THAT ARE USING THE BOATS SLIPS TAKE ALL FRONT OF THE THE PIER WHERE SOME OF OUR DISABLED PEOPLE I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE MOBILITY ISSUES ON THAT PIER, FISHING AND SITTING AND ENJOYING.

AND I WOULDN'T WANT TO SEE THEM BE DOWN WAY AT THE OTHER END OR NOT ABLE TO ACCESS THE PARKING LOT BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO GET BUSIER WITH WITH THESE RENTALS.

IT'S THAT'S ONLY LOGICAL.

IF I'M TAKING FOUR PEOPLE OUT ON MY BOAT, I COULD END UP WITH FOUR VEHICLES AT THE AT THE SLIP IF WE ALL MET TOGETHER.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE AND THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE IS, WHEN YOU'RE DOING THESE SEASONAL SPORTS, ARE THEY FOR INDIVIDUAL PEOPLES OR ARE YOU GOING TO RENT TO BUSINESSES AS WELL, LIKE A COUPLE OUTFITTERS RENT A SPOT OR.

AND THAT WAY. OR IS IT GOING TO BE KEPT FOR JUST INDIVIDUAL HOUSEHOLDS? AND IS IT GOING TO BE KEPT FOR JUST PEOPLE IN ELLIOT LAKE? MS. VLAHOVICH.

SORRY, I GOT FROZEN THERE FOR A SECOND, SO I JUST MISSED THE VERY END OF COUNCILLOR

[00:35:02]

I THINK THAT WAY IT KEEPS THE LAKE FREE AND AVAILABLE TO EVERYBODY FOR USE.

SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT I'VE OMITTED SO THAT WE DON'T CHANGE HOW ELLIOT LAKERS CAN USE THE ACCESS TO THE LAKE. IT'S JUST FOR THE ACTUAL STORAGE ON SITE.

IN REGARDS TO TRAILERS ON SITE AND PARKING.

THOSE ARE TO BE TAKEN OFF SITE.

THERE'S NO TRAILERS STORED ON SITE LOAD, NO LONG TERM AVAILABILITY FOR ANY OF THAT.

THAT IS PART OF THE AGREEMENT.

AS FAR AS NOW THAT WE HAVE THIS OPENING.

AND WHAT I'VE BEEN USUALLY WORKING ON IS THE FINAL LANDSCAPING PLAN AND PARKING FOR THE AREA AS PART OF THE BOARDWALK COMPONENT, WHICH WILL HOPEFULLY BE AT THE NEXT BDC MEETING.

BUT ONE OF THE AREAS, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE LOOKED AT WITH THE PARKING IS THAT WE DESIGNATE SPECIFIC SPOTS ACCORDINGLY SO THAT ALL USERS KNOW WHERE THEY'RE GOING.

AND WE TRY TO BRING DOWN THE CHAOS LITTLE BIT AND HAVE EVERYTHING MARKED VERY CLEARLY, WHICH WILL INCLUDE BOARDWALK PARKING AND ACCESSIBLE PARKING BY THE ACTUAL PIER AND BOARDWALK, THE ANGLED TRAILER PARKING AND BEHIND THAT AND THEN OVER BY EXCUSE ME, THE SLIPS, WE WILL MARK THAT FOR A CAR TOP CAR TOPPERS, AS WELL AS SEASONAL OR SHORT TERM RENTAL USAGE. SO IF WE HAVE IT MARKED PROPERLY, HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HELP MAKE ROOM FOR THOSE ACCESSING THE LAKE.

WE KNOW THAT THE AREA IS LIMITED AS WELL AS FAR AS SPACE.

SO WE ARE LOOKING INTO OPTIONS FOR OVERFLOW PARKING FOR THAT OCCURRENCE WHERE YOU WOULD HAVE FOUR PEOPLE COMING TO YOUR SEASONAL PONTOON BOAT FOR AND TO LIMIT THAT PARKING SPACES. SO AGAIN, THIS IS ALMOST SORT OF A TRIAL BY FIRE KIND OF YEAR BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T REALLY DONE BEFORE.

SO WHETHER WE LOOK AT ACTUALLY PUTTING ONE SPOT PER SLIP AND MARKING THEM WITH CORRESPONDING NUMBERS, WE'RE REALLY GOING TO HAVE TO KIND OF HAVE THIS YEAR AS OUR OUR SORT OF LEARNING ON THE FLY IN REGARDS TO DEMAND AT THE SITE.

WE WERE TRYING TO PUT IN ALL THE SAFEGUARDS AND MITIGATION FOR ANY [INAUDIBLE] TO MAKE SURE IT'S SAFE AND FUN AREA FOR EVERYBODY TO USE.

BUT THE AREA IS ON DEMAND AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE PARKING AND HOW MUCH WE NEED TO GET INTO. WE'LL HAVE TO LEARN ABOUT HOW WELL THE AREA IS USED THIS YEAR AND TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION IN 2022.

AS FAR AS SLIP RENTALS, IT IS TO BE RENTED TO INDIVIDUALS AT THIS POINT.

WE HAD DISCUSSED WHEN BRINGING THE MANAGEMENT IN-HOUSE, IF WE WERE GOING TO EITHER DO IN-HOUSE OR DO IT RFP AND HAVE A CONTRACTOR LIKE AN OUTFITTER OR SOMEBODY MANAGE THE SPACE FOR US AND WE'VE CHOSEN TO DO SO IN-HOUSE.

SO FOR THIS YEAR, I DEFINITELY HAVE IT LISTED AS INDIVIDUAL.

BUT THIS IS SOMETHING, AGAIN, BASED ON DEMAND THAT WE CAN LOOK AT FOR NEXT SEASON.

IF WE DIDN'T HAVE TOO MUCH OF A DEMAND ON THE SHORT TERM, DOES COUNCIL WANT TO DESIGNATE A SPOT, ONE SPOT OR TWO SPECIFICALLY FOR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES? OR DO WE WANT TO EXPAND FOR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES BECAUSE WE'VE HAD SO MUCH USAGE THIS YEAR? SO I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION BUT, FOR THIS YEAR. IT IS BY INDIVIDUAL FOR THE SPACE.

IT'S NOT. THEY AREN'T LISTED AT PRICE PER COMMERCE.

SO IT HAS TO BE FAIR FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL USING THEIR THE AREA AND THE LAST ONE WAS SEASONAL. I DID HAVE IT MARKED AS A LOCAL FOR ELLIOT LAKE.

BUT IF THE DEFINITION OF LOCAL IS SOMETHING MORE LIKE OUR [INAUDIBLE] REGION THAT COUNCIL WISHES, THEN WE CAN TAKE THAT CONSIDERATION FROM COUNCIL.

I WOULD JUST BE AT YOUR WILL, BUT AT THIS POINT I HAVE AS ELLIOT LAKE LOCALS.

I THINK THAT'S ALL OF THEM, RIGHT? THANK YOU, THAT WAS A LOT, I JUST HAVE ONE MORE.

OK.. WHAT IS ARE WE WHAT IS THE INTENTION IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO LIVE ON THE BOAT FOR THE SEASON? SO WE HAVE DO HAVE IT IN THE AGREEMENT, WHAT USAGE ALLOWED ON THE ACTUAL BOAT ITSELF.

I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO JUST DOUBLE CHECK THAT ONE THROUGH INSURANCE OR LEGAL AS REGARDS TO LIVING. BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT WE ARE SET UP FOR THAT.

THERE IS NO POWER AT THE LOCATION AND THERE ARE MINIMUM STANDARDS THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR HOUSING. SO I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT WE ARE SET UP THAT WAY, BUT JUST DOUBLE CHECK WITHIN OUR PARAMETERS. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

COUNCILLOR TURNER. THANK YOU YOUR WORSHIP, I DON'T HAVE A COPY OF

[00:40:08]

AND THEN THERE'S ALSO OUR TYPICAL SAFEGUARDS IN REGARDS TO DAMAGE OR ANYTHING HAPPENING AS INSURANCE PURPOSES SO THAT THE RENTERS ARE REQUIRED TO PROTECT.

OBVIOUSLY, THEY'RE GOING TO PROTECT THEIR UNIT, BUT THEY DO NOTE THAT IT IS CITY PROPERTY AND THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE . THE COMMENTS THAT THE DISCUSSION, WE HAD ABOUT ENFORCEMENT, I'M NOT TOO WORRIED ABOUT THAT. I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE ANY KIND OF EMERGENCY BLOOD ON THE FLOOR TYPE OF ISSUE THAT MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO WAIT TWENTY FOUR HOURS.

I THINK THAT OUR ENFORCEMENT PEOPLE WILL VERY QUICKLY RECOGNIZE THE BOATS THAT ARE REGISTERED TO BE THERE.

THE ONES THAT WILL CHANGE WILL BE THE WEEKLY ONES, AND THEY'LL CATCH THAT VERY FAST.

THE NUMBERING SYSTEM THAT YOU'VE RECOMMENDED BEING DISPLAYED, THAT'S QUITE SIMILAR TO PARKING AT CITY HALL.

ENFORCEMENT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE A BIG ISSUE WITH THE MANY MORE CARS, THAN THERE ARE BOAT SLIPS. SO I'M NOT TOO WORRIED ABOUT THAT.

THE THE IDEA OF OUTFITTERS DOING SOMETHING LIKE BOAT RENTALS IS, I THINK, A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THE PROJECT IN THE LONG RUN.

SO IF WE COULD ENCOURAGE THAT KIND OF ACTIVITY, WHETHER THEY'RE RENTING OUT THE BIG WHITE SWANS THAT YOU PADDLE AROUND THE LAKE OR CANOES OR MOTORBOATS, IT'S STILL ECONOMIC ACTIVITY AND ACTIVITY ON OUR LAKE.

SO I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE GIVE THAT CONSIDERATION, LOADING AND UNLOADING A BOAT WITH PASSENGERS AND THE LIKE.

IF THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO USE THE BOAT SLIPS TO DO THAT, THEN THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY, I GUESS, TO TIE UP ALONGSIDE BOARDWALK AND DO IT THERE.

CAN WE GET SOME SIGNAGE OR DIRECTION THAT THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO DO, AS OPPOSED TO GO OVER TO THE SLIPS THEMSELVES IF THEY CAN'T GET THROUGH? I'M SORRY.

GO AHEAD. SO YES WE DO WE CAN LOOK AT.

THERE IS ONE SEGMENT OF I'M GOING TO CALL WHAT IS THE FIRST LAUNCH THAT IS ABUTTING TO THE BOARDWALK SO THAT HAS A LITTLE BIT LONGER OF A SECTION AND.

EXCUSE ME, THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF LENGTH OF BOARDWALK BEFORE THE PIER AREA THAT WE COULD DESIGNATE POTENTIALLY A 15 TO 20 FOOT SECTION THAT YOU CAN PULL OUT AND PUT YOUR BOAT THERE THAT WOULD ALLOW PASSENGERS ON AND OFF.

WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE PEOPLE PULLING UP TO THE BOARDWALK, PULLING UP TO THE PIER. THAT AREA IS DEFINITELY DESIGNATED FOR THOSE WHO BEFORE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO ENJOY THE WATER. AS YOU KNOW, COUNCILLOR TURNER I DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU.

BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP THEM SEPARATE AND WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE CASTING LINES OR GETTING IT FISHING OFF PIER AND GETTING ENTANGLED IN BOATS.

BUT I THINK THE FIRST SECTION OF THE BOARDWALK ABUTTING TO THAT FIRST LAUNCH IS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD LOOK AT AS A LOADING AND OFFLOADING ZONE TO TRY AND MITIGATE THE LINEUPS AT THE ACTUAL LAUNCH ITSELF.

THANK YOU. AND MY LAST COMMENT ON THIS IS ABOUT RENTALS TO ELLIOT LAKE LOCALS.

I THINK IF WE'RE GOING TO GIVE CONSIDERATION TO THAT, IT SHOULD BE PROBABLY THE ELNOS REGION. PART OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, A SIMPLE FORMULA FOR SUCCESS IS THAT WE MAKE SOMETHING HERE AND WE SELL IT SOMEWHERE ELSE.

SO IF WE CAN SELL ONE OF OUR SLIPS TO SOMEBODY OUT OF TOWN, THAT MEANS THE MONEY COMES IN AS OPPOSED TO GOES OUT AND THAT'S A GOOD THING FOR US.

SO. I JUST WANT TO ADD THAT LAST YEAR AND THE YEAR BEFORE, I WATCHED THOSE BOAT SLIPS VERY CLOSELY

[00:45:06]

SO I THINK WE'RE PERHAPS GOING TO HAVE TO ENCOURAGE IT SOMEHOW, EITHER IN OUR ADVERTISING OR UP AT THE WELCOME CENTER OF THE TRAILER PARK THERE, JUST TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT, BECAUSE OTHERWISE I DON'T THINK THEY'LL GET USED THAT FREQUENTLY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILLOR TURNER, SEEING THAT YOU'RE AT THE BOAT LAUNCH RIGHT NOW.

HOW'S TRAFFIC THERE, COUNCILLOR TURNER? WELL, I'M LOOKING ON THE LIVE WEBCAM.

AND IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD, LOOKS REALLY GOOD.

THANK YOU, COUNCILLOR MANN.

THANK YOUR WORSHIP JUST TO COUNCILLOR TURNER'S POINT ABOUT USING THE BOARDWALK AS A POINT OF ACCESS TO BOATS THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE WATER, THERE ARE THERE ARE A COUPLE OF POINTS WHERE THERE ARE CHAINS THAT ARE ANCHORING THAT BOARDWALK INTO THE WATER.

AND I WOULD I WOULD REALLY HATE TO HAVE SOMEONE CHEW UP A PROP OR GET CLOSE TO AN AREA THAT REALLY ISN'T DESIGNED FOR THAT.

I THINK WE HAVE. WE HAVE SLIPS DESIGN AND WE HAVE THE LAUNCH.

THAT'S WHERE YOU GET IN THE BOAT OR YOU DO IT OVER AT THE SLIPS.

I DON'T THINK WE START CHANGING DYNAMICS.

I DON'T THINK THERE SHOULD BE ANY TYPE OF POWERBOAT ON THE INTERIOR SECTION OF THE OF THE AREA, WHICH IS, I GUESS, OVER COUNCILLOR TURNER'S LEFT SHOULDER AT THE MOMENT.

I DON'T THINK POWERBOATS SHOULD BE IN THERE LOADING PEOPLE OFF THE BOARDWALK.

AND JUST ANOTHER POINT TO THE THE PARKING FOR THE SEASONAL OVER AND THE CAR TOPPERS.

THERE ARE ALWAYS PEOPLE OVER THERE FISHING OFFSHORE.

SO I THINK WE HAVE TO BE, AGAIN, AWARE OF THAT OTHER USE AND TAKE AWAY FROM PEOPLE THAT ARE USING THAT AREA. THOSE ARE MY FINAL COMMENTS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

SOME GOOD DISCUSSION, I THINK SOMETHING THAT COUNCIL'S GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT IN THE FUTURE IS FIGURING OUT EITHER ADDITIONAL PARKING OR THE POTENTIAL FOR A THRUWAY IN THAT PARKING LOT TO EASE ACCESS, ENTRY AND EXIT.

SOMEONE'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE DONE FOR SURE.

VERY POPULAR AREA ALREADY, AND IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET MORE POPULAR, COUNCILLOR CYR.

THANK YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU.

I HAVEN'T, THROUGH READING THE REPORT AND THE DISCUSSION, I HAVEN'T HEARD YET THE CONSIDERATION OR I MAY HAVE MISSED IT ABOUT ENSURING THAT.

ANYBODY EITHER A LOTTERY OR RENTING SHORT TERM OR LONG TERM, WHATEVER IS LIMITED TO ONLY ONE SLIP PERIOD, ELIMINATE THE CHANCES OF PEOPLE HOARDING SLIPS AND THEN KIND OF PAWNING OFF, YOU KNOW, PAWNBROKERS PAWING OFF THE AVAILABILITY SLIPS.

SO JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY IS LIMITED TO ONE SLIP.

SO I HOPE THAT IS BEING CONSIDERED AS WELL.

IT IS CONSIDERED AND IS PART OF THE AGREEMENT, IT DOES NOTE THAT IF YOU ARE A SEASONAL SLIP HOLDER, YOUR SLIP IS REGISTERED TO A PARTICULAR VESSEL.

SO IF YOU'RE GONE FOR THE WEEKEND AND YOU TAKE YOUR BOAT WITH YOU, YOUR BUDDY CAN'T USE YOUR SLIP. YOU'RE ONE UNIT THAT IS SUPPLIED ON THE AGREEMENT IS THE BOAT THAT IS COVERED AND ALLOWED TO BE IN THE SLIP SO YOU CAN'T BE SHARING OR DO [INAUDIBLE].

I DO BELIEVE I READ SOMETHING IN HERE THAT ONE PER HOUSEHOLD ALSO, WHICH WOULD BE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME APPLICATION.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS BEFORE I CALL FOR THE VOTE? SEEIGN NONE AS AMENDED.

ALL IN FAVOR. OPPOSED.

AND COUNCILLOR FINAMORE OPPOSED, THANK YOU, THAT IS CARRIED.

SEVEN, A PRESENTATION OF COMMITTEE REPORTS, THERE ARE NONE.

EIGHT OUTSIDE BOARD AND COMMITTEE REPORTING THERE IS NONE, NINE UNFINISHED BUSINESS, NINE

[9. UNFINISHED BUSINESS]

MY UNDERSTANDING COMING UP IN AUGUST, THERE WILL BE VARIOUS WAYS FOR PUBLIC INPUT FOR THIS PROJECT, INCLUDING A TOWN HALL PUBLIC TOWN HALL MEETING, WHICH WILL BE PROMOTED PRIOR TO THE END OF AUGUST.

SO A LOT OF PUBLIC INPUT GOING TO BE GOING ON HOPEFULLY THROUGH THE MONTH OF AUGUST.

NINE POINT TWO ARTS AND CULTURE HUB UPDATE STANDING ITEM MR. ANTUNES. I BELIEVE THAT THE FUNDING APPLICATIONS HAVE ALL BEEN DONE.

IS THAT CORRECT? THANK YOU.

[00:50:01]

YES, I'M FILLING IN SOME OF MR. GAGNON'S SPOTS HERE, SO I'VE GOT SOME BIG SHOES TO FILL.

BUT YES. SO THE THE ARTS HAVE THE GRANT WAS COMPLETED ON TUESDAY.

WE DID RECEIVE CONFIRMATION THAT THE GRANT DID GO THROUGH.

THE INFORMATION HAS GONE THROUGH.

WE HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH SOME OF THE OTHER FUNDING PARTNERS IN THE REGION THAT MAY BE INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT THAT IT WAS COMPLETED.

AND WE'VE RECEIVED SOME FEEDBACK THAT THAT'S [INAUDIBLE].

BUT THE IMPORTANT THING IS THE GREEN GRANT APPLICATION IS CONFIRMED, RECEIVED.

THANK YOU, MR. ANTUNES.

NINE POINT THREE RESIDENTIAL WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS STANDING ITEM, THERE'S NO NEW INFORMATION, BUT I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO A REPORT COMING VERY SOON.

I WAS HOPING TO SEE MOMENTUM THIS SEASON, NINE POINT FOUR COVID-19 UPDATE STANDING ITEM.

AND I UNDERSTAND FROM EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT MEETING, THE ONE BIG THING THAT I TOOK AWAY FROM THAT, ALONG WITH THE REOPENING STRATEGIES COMING FIVE DAYS SOONER, IS WE'VE HAD NO CASES, ABSOLUTELY ZERO CASES.

IN ALGOMA DISTRICT FOR A WEEK NOW AND KNOCK ON WOOD IF IT STAYS THAT WAY.

THANK YOU. MR. ANTUNES YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ALSO ON THAT ONE.

YES. YOUR WORSHIP. THANK YOU. THROUGH YOU, THROUGH AND UNDER THE DIRECTION OF MS. BRAY AS THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM MEETING AT THE CITY TOMORROW, WE WILL HAVE A ROUNDTABLE TO DISCUSS PLANS.

FRIDAY THE 16TH IS THE OFFICIAL OPENING STEP THREE HAVE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE FOLKS AT [INAUDIBLE] PUBLIC HEALTH WITH SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WILL IMPACT THE MUNICIPALITY. SOME OF THE MAIN ONES BEING OUTDOOR SOCIAL GATHERINGS WITH PUBLIC EVENTS WILL BE UP TO ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, INDOOR SOCIAL GATHERINGS AND ORGANIZED PUBLIC EVENTS. UP TO TWENTY FIVE PEOPLE AND THE OTHERS ARE RETAIL.

AND OF COURSE, DINING HAS CHANGED.

BUT THE MUNICIPALITY TEAM WILL GET TOGETHER TOMORROW TO DISCUSS ANYTHING THAT WILL IMPACT THE CITY AND CITY OPERATIONS.

THANK YOU, MR. ANTUNES.

NINE POINT FIVE, A REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS, THERE'S NO ACTION REQUIRED HERE, MR. HALLOCH IS JUST UPDATING US THAT THERE WILL BE RESPONSE.

AND A NEW REPORT COMING TO THE NEXT PUBLIC SERVICE STANDING COMMITTEE IN REGARDS TO THE SUPPLY AND INSTALL BACKUP DIESEL GENERATOR AT CITY HALL THAT WILL COVER CITY HALL, OVP AMBULANCE AND THE FIREHOUSE.

LOOKING FORWARD TO A MORE DETAILED AND THOROUGH REPORT AT THAT TIME.

THANK YOU, MR. HALLOCH FOR THE UPDATE.

ADDITIONS, THERE ARE NONE, 11 CORRESPONDENCE.

[11. CORRESPONDENCE]

AT THE LAST MEETING, HAVING TO DO WITH LACK OF HOUSING, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND I THINK OUR PUBLIC HEARING ACTUALLY GAVE US SOME FUTURE OPTIONS AS FAR AS AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND POTENTIAL FOR SECONDARY INCOMES FOR SOME HOMEOWNERS IN ELLIOT LAKE.

SO I'D LOOK FOR A MOTION TO RECEIVE THAT IS ON OUR AGENDA, MOVED BY COUNCILLOR PEARCE, SECOND BY COUNCILLOR TURNER.

AGAIN, I'M NOT GOING TO READ THE WHOLE THING.

IT IS ON OUR WEBSITE IN OUR AGENDA PACKAGE, AND I KNOW QUITE A FEW PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION LOOKING AT THAT.

SO THANK YOU AGAIN, MELODY, AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AT SOME FUTURE ZONING MEETINGS, I'M GUESSING.

AND IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS ABOUT THE LETTER, I SEE COUNCILLOR FINAMORE THEN COUNCILLOR MANN.

THANK YOU, YOUR WORSHIP.

IT'S EVIDENT IN TOWN THAT WE'RE VERY SHORT ON ALL TYPES OF HOUSING AND OBVIOUSLY THE LETTER FROM THE COUNSELING CENTER [INAUDIBLE] AND THIS LETTER IS POINTING OUT THE NEED FOR TRANSITIONAL HOMES.

THE ONLY THING THAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT IS THAT.

PROCESSES HAVEN'T BEEN FOLLOWED AND PLACES ARE OPEN AND.

I'M GETTING CALLS CONSTANTLY ABOUT SEVEN [INAUDIBLE].

AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE LOOK AT THESE PROCESSES, THAT WE ALLOW THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS THE RIGHT TO HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT WHAT THEY WANT IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY MOVED INTO THE NEIGHBORHOODS WHEN THEY MOVED IN AS SUCH.

AND IF THERE'S GOING TO BE CHANGES LIKE THIS, IT NEEDS TO BE THE PUBLIC PROCESS NEEDS TO BE FOLLOWED. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS ORGANIZATION HAS BROUGHT FORWARD ZONING

[00:55:03]

I DON'T WANT TO SAY THAT WE'RE THAT WE'RE NOT FOLLOWING THE RIGHT PROCESS AS FAR AS OUR CITIZENS ARE CONCERNED AND THERE'S SOME GRAVE CONSIDERATION, THERE'S SOME GRAVE CONCERNS WITH THE ONE THAT'S OPENED THAT HASN'T BEEN SO.

AND SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE NEED TO DO THIS AND DO THIS CORRECTLY.

IT'S ABSOLUTELY A NEED IN THE COMMUNITY, BUT THE PROCESSES NEED TO BE FOLLOWED.

SO EVERYBODY IS OK WITH IT.

AND ONCE EVERYONE'S OK WITH IT, THEN IT WILL GO A LOT SMOOTHER THAN WAKING UP AND FINDING SOMETHING NEXT DOOR THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW WAS HAPPENING OR UNDERSTAND.

MS. BRAY.

THANK YOUR WORSHIP, I COULD JUST SPEAK TO THAT QUICKLY, SO ONCE WE WERE MADE AWARE THAT THAT HOME AT [INAUDIBLE] HAD OPENED, WE DID GET IN TOUCH WITH THE [INAUDIBLE] ORGANIZATION AND PROVIDE THEM THE APPROPRIATE PAPERWORK TO APPLY FOR A ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT PROPERLY. SO WE ARE WORKING WITH THEM.

OUR PLANNER, MS. [INAUDIBLE], WHO SPOKE EARLIER THIS EVENING, HAS RECOMMENDED THAT WE HAVE A MEETING BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE, I THINK, FOUR ZONING APPLICATIONS THEY WANT TO BRING FORWARD. SO WE'RE ALL GOING TO WORK TOGETHER TO TRY AND GET ALL OF THIS DONE CORRECTLY AND FOLLOWING THE CORRECT PROCESS.

THANK YOU, MS. BRAY.

COUNCILLOR MANN COMMENT QUESTION.

THANK YOUR WORSHIP COUNCILLOR FINAMORE.

PICKED UP THE MAJORITY OF THE CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS THAT I'VE BEEN RECEIVING CALLS ABOUT, AS WELL AS THE THE PEACE, AND OBVIOUSLY THE CLERK IS AWARE OF THAT AND MOVING FORWARD PROCESS. SO I DON'T NEED TO BRING ANYTHING FURTHER AT THIS TIME.

I GUESS THE ONLY OTHER CONCERN OR COMMENT TO BE MADE IS THIS HOUSING SHORTAGE IS NOT JUST AN ELLIOT LAKE. THE ENTIRE DISTRICT IS HAVING CHALLENGES, WALL WALK, WHITE RIVER THROUGHOUT IN ALL COMMUNITIES AND THERE IS A HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS STRATEGY FOR THE DISTRICT THAT ELLIOT LAKE DOES WORK ON AS WELL AS WITH [INAUDIBLE].

SO I THINK YOU KNOW SO WITH SOME OF THE THINGS THAT BROUGHT UP IN THE EARLIER MEETING TONIGHT, WE REGULARLY TALK ABOUT THE NEEDS WHILE THERE IS A ROADMAP ALREADY IN PLACE AND WE ARE TRYING TO ADHERE TO IT.

AND I THINK [INAUDIBLE] DOES, IN MY OPINION, A VERY GOOD JOB IN LOOKING AT THE ENTIRE DISTRICT AND ENSURING THAT FUNDING GOES WHERE IT'S NEEDED.

CLEARLY, IT APPEARS THAT MAPLE GATE WAS SUCCESSFUL IN RECEIVING SOME SOME FUNDING FOR FOR THE MEN'S SHELTER, WHICH IS GREAT IN 2021.

SO CLEARLY MONEY FROM THE PROVINCE IS COMING TO THE DISTRICT TO SUPPORT.

AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO SEE BUT CLEAR THAT WE CAN ALWAYS DO MORE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU COUNCILLOR MANN, COUNCILLOR FINAMORE.

JUST ONE MORE THING YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH TO OUR CLERK.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE AS PART OF THE ZONING AND THE DISCUSSIONS THAT COMES FORWARD WITH THE BYLAW DEPARTMENT, THAT SOMEHOW THERE HAS TO BE A BYLAW AND A PROCESS FOR ENFORCEMENT WHEN ZONING BYLAWS ARE NOT ADHERED TO AND THINGS JUST HAPPEN IN THE COMMUNITY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO ENFORCE THAT AS WELL FOR THE CITIZENS OF OF ELLIOT LAKE.

SURE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO RECEIVE ON THE TABLE, CALL FOR THE VOTE, ALL IN FAVOR.

OK, THAT'S RECEIVED THANK YOU.

12 NOTICE OF MOTION, THERE ARE NONE, 13 COUNCIL'S REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS.

[13. COUNCIL REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS]

WANT TO GIVE A HONORABLE MENTION TO [INAUDIBLE] I KNOW EVERYONE'S SEEN OR HEARD ON THE RADIO OR SEEN ON FACEBOOK OR READ IN THE PAPER, STOPPED HIS VEHICLE AND ASSISTED A YOUNG LADY ON A EHAVING FUN WITH HER.

AND I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS COME MY WAY AS TO WHY SOMEBODY WOULD STOP AND TAKE PICTURES OR RECORDINGS.

AND I HAVE TO SAY INDIVIDUALS LIKE LIKE [INAUDIBLE] THERE.

MANY AROUND THAT I DON'T THINK TAKE ACTION AND WILL DO ANYTHING PUTTING THEMSELVES AT RISK TO SAVE ANOTHER PERSON.

AND WE APPRECIATE THESE PEOPLE AND OTHER PEOPLE AREN'T BORN THE SAME WAY.

THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE OTHER THAN THAN TAKE A PICTURE.

BUT WE'RE ALL STILL PEOPLE REGARDLESS.

BUT I DID WANT TO EXTEND A BIG THANK YOU TO CAM AND A REMINDER, BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF I'VE GOT A LOT OF MESSAGES ABOUT BEARS IN BACKYARDS AND BEARS HERE AND THERE.

AND I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WERE BORN AND RAISED HERE, HAVE BEEN HERE MANY, MANY YEARS. WE DRIVE 30 KILOMETERS OFF THE MAIN DRAG UP INTO THE WOODS.

AND THAT'S WHY PEOPLE MOVE HERE, BECAUSE IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS, MANY LAKES, A LOT OF TREES.

EVERYONE LOVES THE MOSQUITOS, I'M SURE.

[01:00:01]

YOU'RE IN HIS BACKYARD.

AND FOR THE MOST PART, THE WILD ANIMALS WE HAVE HERE ARE VERY, VERY DOCILE.

SO I HOPE EVERYONE KEEPS THAT IN MIND.

WE DON'T WANT TO FEED THE BEARS BALONEY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

THEY'RE SEASONAL, SEASONABLE CREATURES, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, VERY DOCILE.

IT'S VERY RARE TO HEAR THAT A BEAR'S GONE ON LITTLE LITTLE WACKY.

BUT AGAIN, WE'RE IN THEIR BACKYARDS.

SO I HOPE EVERYONE KEEPS THAT IN MIND.

AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE BEAR WISE PROGRAM STARTING BACK UP AGAIN, BECAUSE THAT WAS GREAT INFORMATION FOR NEW ELLIOT LAKE RESIDENTS THAT WENT ON EVERY YEAR AT THE CIVIC CENTER. KNOW HOW TO SCARE AWAY A BEAR, KNOW HOW TO HANDLE SITUATIONS AROUND BEARS.

AND YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND IT AGAIN.

HONORABLE MENTION TO CAM [INAUDIBLE] ELLIOT LAKER AND OUTDOORSMAN KNEW WHAT TO DO AND SAVED SOMEBODY. OTHER THAN THAT, I WANT TO THANK DARLA AND ALL HER STAFF.

LIFEGUARDS SEEING PICTURES OF THE NEW BIG WATER FEATURE AT SPRUCE BEACH.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

COUNCIL APPROVE THIS FUNDING TWO YEARS AGO.

NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE ACCESSIBILITY MATS DOWN THERE, BUT NOW WE HAVE A NEW WATER FEATURE FOR ALL THE KIDS TO PLAY ON.

AWESOME TO SEE, WHAT A GREAT WHAT A GREAT SET OF BEACHES WE HAVE GOING ON HERE.

LOT OF. WE HAVE THE DOCKS, THE BOAT LAUNCH, AND NOW THIS AMAZING FUTURISTIC LOOKING BEACH. IT'S GREAT.

THINK IT'S GOING TO AGAIN GO BACK TO THE TOURIST POINTS.

I JUST WANTED TO THANK EVERYONE FOR GETTING THAT UP AND RUNNING THIS YEAR.

I LOOK FORWARD TO GOING DOWN AND WATCHING KIDS PLAY BECAUSE I'M TOO OLD TO CLIMB THAT KIND OF STUFF.

I'D ASK IF THERE'S ANY OTHER COUNCIL'S ANNOUNCEMENTS AS THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT EXCITING GOING ON. COUNCILLOR FINAMORE AND COUNCILLOR MANN.

I JUST WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO DR.

GROW, WHO WAS GIVEN THE TOP DOC AWARD THIS WEEK BY HER COLLEAGUES FOR HER WORK THROUGH COVID, HER ACTIVISM AND HER MANAGING OF THE VACCINATION CLINICS.

AND THANK ALL THE STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS THAT ARE MANNING COLLINS HALL.

THEY DID FIVE HUNDRED AND FOUR VACCINES LAST THURSDAY.

I CONGRATULATED NANCY TODAY.

SHE SAID THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT AGAIN THIS WEEK.

I SAID HER STAFF'S GOING TO KILL HER AND SHE SAID THEY JUST MIGHT.

BUT I ALSO WANT TO THANK SHOPPER'S [INAUDIBLE] MART, REX HALL, AND I THINK NO FRILLS, EVEN HAD A DAY OF VACCINES AT THEIR STORE.

EVERYBODY'S WORKING TOGETHER AND WE'RE GETTING THERE.

OBVIOUSLY, THE NUMBERS IN THE PROVINCE ARE SHOWING THAT WE'RE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT.

SO I JUST WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO DR.

GROW, WHO'S MANAGING HER PRACTICE, DOING ALL THIS AND MANAGING HER FAMILY.

AND SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR HER STEP UP AND BEYOND.

I THINK WHAT NORMALLY SHOULD BE REQUIRED.

BUT WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE.

WE HAVE DEDICATED PEOPLE LIKE DR.

GROW AND THE STAFF OF OF ALL OUR MEDICAL FACILITIES HERE, [INAUDIBLE] TO HERE ON LODGE AS WELL, THEY THE MANOR, HILLSIDE PARK.

WE HAVE DONE AMAZING SO FAR.

SO LET'S KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, COUNCILLOR FINAMORE. YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

THAT WAS ANOTHER THING THAT WE HAD HEARD IS ELLIOT LAKE IS WAY AHEAD OF THE THE SCHEDULE FOR VACCINATIONS.

AND THAT'S A BIG THANK YOU TO DR.

GROW AND THE FAMILY AND ALL THE VOLUNTEERS GOING INTO THE [INAUDIBLE] HALL TO GET YOUR SHOT. I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE DRAG RACES GOING ON OR STREET DANCE, BUT IT'S ALL THE SAME.

VOLUNTEERS ASSISTING WITH WITH THE SHOT.
