PUBLIC INPUT SESSION.

NOBODY REQUESTED TO SPEAK TO ANY AGENDA ITEMS THIS EVENING.

SIX. PRESENTATION THERE ARE NONE.

[7. INTRODUCTION AND CONSIDERATION OF CORPORATE REPORTS]

MEMO FROM THE MANAGER OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, RELAY AND SALE ON FOX DRIVE TWO.

THERE'S NO RECOMMENDATION WRITTEN INTO THIS.

SO I WOULD ASK MR. ANTUNES JUST TO GIVE US A LOWDOWN AND GIVE US A RECOMMENDATION.

GOOD EVENING, YOUR WORSHIP. THANK YOU AND GOOD EVENING.

MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY, AS ALWAYS, TO PRESENT MEMO'S HAVE BECOME A NEW EDITION WITH A BYLAW THAT'S COMING THROUGH.

AN AGREEMENT ON PURCHASE AND SALE IS LATER ON IN THE AGENDA.

THESE TWO MEMOS 7.1, 7.2.

BOTH ADDRESS THOSE BYLAWS FOR AGREEMENT OF PURCHASE AND SALE JUST TO GIVE COUNCIL A QUICK BACKGROUND ON THE TWO OF THEM.

SO NO RECOMMENDATION REQUIRED YOUR WORSHIP JUST FOR A COUNCIL REVIEW.

AND THEN THE RECOMMENDATION IS ACTUALLY THE BYLAW LATER ON FOR COUNCIL'S APPROVAL MEMO WAS CIRCULATED AND JUST IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL, HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. ANTUNES. USUALLY WE HAVE A MOTION TO MOVE IN SECOND BEFORE WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION OR DEBATE.

JUST SAYING RECOMMENDATIONS SO WE CAN ASK YOU QUESTIONS.

I GUESS THE RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO RECEIVE THE MEMO FROM THE MANAGER OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

PERFECT MANEUVER, PLEASE.

MOVE BY COUNCILLOR PEARCE.

SECOND BY COUNCILOR FINAMORE.

ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PURCHASE AND SALE? COUNCILOR PATRIE. THANK YOU, YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU.

I HAVE A CONCERN WITH THE CHANGE IN THE AGREEMENT.

I WOULDN'T MIND IF IT SAID AVAILABILITY TO THE PROPERTY LINE, BUT THE WAY THAT THIS IS STATED AND THE WAY THAT THE BYLAW IS STATED ON PAGE 29, IT STATES THAT WE WILL PROVIDE HYDRO TO THE PROPERTY LINE.

THAT IS NOT STANDARD OPERATING PRACTICE.

NORMALLY WE DON'T DICTATE WHERE HYDRO IS GOING TO PUT THE SERVICE IN AND I'M NOT AT A $20,000 SALE OF A PIECE OF PROPERTY NOT INTERESTED IN HAVING TO PROVIDE. IF THAT LINE IS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD.

I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO PAY TO BRING THAT LINE ACROSS AND DROP THE POLE IN ONTO HIS PROPERTY REGARDLESS OF WHOSE PROPERTY IT IS.

BUT I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT WE HAVE HAD TO DO THIS IN THE PAST WHERE THE PROPERTY ONE HYDRO LINE DOESN'T RUN EXACTLY ADJACENT OR ONTO THEIR PROPERTY AND THE PROPONENT ENDS UP HAVING TO PAY TO PUT THAT SERVICE IN.

SO I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF DOING IT THE WAY THAT IT'S WORDED.

I WOULD. BE WILLING TO DO IT.

BUT THE ASPECT THAT IT'S AVAILABLE TO THE PROPERTY LINE OR CLOSE TO THE PROPERTY LINE, THAT HYDRO IS AVAILABLE, BUT NOT THAT THE WAY THAT IT'S WORDED, WE MUST PROVIDE IT TO THE PROPERTY LINE AND I'M NOT WILLING TO DO THAT.

MR. ANTUNES THANK YOU, YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU TO COUNCILLOR PATRIE.

MR. DOYLE AND I, WHEN WE DID OUR SITE VISIT WITH HYDRO AT FOX DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN AND THE TEARDROP.

THEY ACTUALLY WERE TALKING ABOUT INDIVIDUAL DROPS TO EACH OF THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE THERE.

THERE IS THE PROPERTY PURCHASED BY BUS LINES ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF FOX DRIVE AND THE TWO LOTS, THE ONE LOT AT THE END FOR SEAMLESS EAVES TROUGH AND THE TWO LOTS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF FOX DRIVE.

SO HYDRO HAD INDICATED THAT AS THEY GO THROUGH WITH THE DESIGN OF THE TEARDROP, THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE DROPS AT EACH ONE OF THE LOTS.

[00:05:05]

MR. DOYLE WAS AWAY ON HIS HOLIDAYS LAST WEEK, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S BEEN A NUDGE FROM THEIR SIDE, BUT MR. DOYLE AND I DID DISCUSS IT TWO WEEKS AGO WITH PUSHING THROUGH A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.

SO WE'RE HOPING IT IS IMMINENT AT THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE.

DEFINITELY GAVE A BIG NUDGE TO HYDRO TO REACH OUT AND GET THIS PROJECT DONE.

SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.

COUNCILOR MANN AND THEN BACK TO COUNCILLOR PATRIE.

THANK YOU. WORSHIP THROUGH YOU.

QUESTION FOR MR. ANTUNES. REALISTICALLY, WHAT ARE THE PROBABILITY OR THE ODDS THAT THIS WILL BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE CONDITIONAL DATE OF SEPTEMBER 21ST? WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT, I GUESS IS MY QUESTION.

YEP. THROUGH YOUR WORSHIP, I'M VERY QUICKLY REALIZING THAT TO HOLD MY BREATH WHEN IT COMES TO ISSUES WITH HYDRO, AS NOTED IN THE AGREEMENT, IT WAS REVIEWED BY OUR SOLICITOR WHEN IT WENT THROUGH AND THE NOTE SAYS NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 21ST UNLESS THE PARTIES AGREE OTHERWISE IN WRITING AND MR. SAURO AND I AND THROUGH OUR SOLICITORS HAD THE DISCUSSION THAT IT WOULD JUST GET EXTENDED.

THE NOTE THERE ABOUT THE CONDITION CLOSING IN FAVOR OF THE PURCHASER IS THAT IF HYDRO DOES MAKE IT INDEFINITE, THAT IT DRAGS ON MUCH FURTHER, IS THAT HE WILL TAKE HIS INVESTMENT ELSEWHERE.

SO THAT IS WHERE THAT IS.

I'LL BE VERY HONEST, SEPTEMBER 21ST, I'M NOT HOLDING BREATH.

BUT AGAIN, THAT'S WHY WE ADDED THE EXTRA SENTENCE OF AN AGREEMENT IN WRITING FROM BOTH PARTIES TO EXTEND.

OKAY. THANK YOU, COUNCILLOR PATRIE.

THANK YOU. WORSHIP AGAIN.

I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT CLAUSE TOO THAT THE INSTALLATION OF HYDRO LINE TO THE BOUNDARY OF THE PROPERTY.

WE DO NOT NORMALLY DO THAT.

I WOULD WANT THAT TO CHANGE BECAUSE I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF DOING THIS THE WAY THAT IT IS.

I AM IN FULL FAVOR AND I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THE GENTLEMAN'S CONCERNS THAT IF THERE'S NO HYDRO TO THE PROPERTY, HE'S NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO BUILD.

BUT THE ISSUE IS, I'M NOT WILLING TO PUT IT INTO THE PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT THAT WE WILL PROVIDE IT TO THE PROPERTY LINE BECAUSE YOU HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH HYDRO AND THEY SAY THAT'S WHAT THEIR PLAN IS OR THE POTENTIAL PLAN IS, DOESN'T MEAN THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO.

WE BECOME ON THE HOOK THAT IF IT COSTS US $30,000 TO DROP THE LINE TO HIS PROPERTY LINE ACCORDING TO THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT, WE HAVE TO DO IT.

I WOULD WANT THAT WORDING CHANGED AND THAT WAS NOT IN THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT THAT WE DISCUSSED.

BUT WE APPROVED THIS AS A COUNCIL.

IT WAS APPROVED THAT WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT NEEDS TO HAVE HYDRO TO THE PROPERTY, BUT IT'S AVAILABILITY OF HYDRO TO THE PROPERTY.

I'M NOT WILLING TO AGREE TO A PURCHASE THAT WE PAY TO GET IT TO HIS PROPERTY.

VERY OFTEN THE PROPERTY LINE, IT WILL BE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

AND I'M NOT WILLING TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT TO DO THAT.

MR. ANTUNES, THANK YOUR WORSHIP FOR YOU TO COUNCILLOR PATRIE.

CERTAINLY IF IT'S THE WILL OF COUNCIL STAFF ARE HAPPY TO MAKE THE AMENDMENT FROM HYDRO CONNECTION TO THE BOUNDARY LINE OF THE PROPERTY, TO AVAILABILITY TO THE PROPERTY.

AND WE CAN JUST SEND IT BACK TO THE PROPONENT FOR AMENDMENT AND SIGNATURE AND WE CAN BRING IT BACK TO COUNCIL IF THAT'S THE WILL OF COUNCIL.

COUNCILMAN THANK YOU.

YOUR WORSHIP MY QUESTION TO MR. ANTUNES, JUST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF THE HYDRO BEING INSTALLED IN THE AREA, WHO WAS PAYING FOR THAT INSTALLATION? THROUGH YOUR WORSHIP TO COUNCILLOR MANN.

IT IS BEING DONE BY THE MUNICIPALITY THROUGH OUR COMBINATION FED NOR NO HFC GRANT IF IT GOES THROUGH FOR THAT AND THE LIFT STATION AT THE END OF THE TEARDROP.

SO WE'RE PAYING FOR IT REGARDLESS AT THIS POINT TO RUN THE HYDRO DOWN DOWN FOX DRIVE AND IT'S BEING EXTENDED FROM PERINE ROAD ALL UP YOUR WORSHIP BUT WITHOUT POWER THESE LOTS HAVE A DIFFERENT POTENTIAL INTENTION, RIGHT? LIKE WE NEED THE INTENTION WAS TO PUT POWER THERE.

I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A COUPLE OF CONCERNS HERE I HAVE AS WELL.

THAT'S WHY I ASK THE QUESTION ABOUT THE SEPTEMBER 21ST DATE.

IT'S 30 DAYS AWAY, BUT I JUST NEEDED TO ENSURE THAT THIS IS A FUNDED PROJECT.

THE THREE YOUR WORSHIP IT'S THE APPLICATION IS IN, BUT WE HAVEN'T GONE THROUGH TO THE FUNDING PROGRAM BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST.

SO HYDRO IS HIGH.

THE LIFT STATION IS VERY SIMPLE BECAUSE WE COST THAT OUT OURSELVES AND MR. HALLOCH AND MR. DOYLE HAVE THE ABILITY TO COST THAT OUT.

[00:10:03]

SO AS FAR AS FUNDING, WE'RE STILL IN THE APPLICATION PROCESS AND WE'RE IN STAGE ONE SO THAT WE'RE READY.

BUT WE CAN'T PUT IN OUR FINAL STAGE OF THE APPLICATION BECAUSE WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE COST IS.

BUT THE ASSUMPTION IS THAT THOSE LOTS WERE TO ALL BE PROVIDED WITH HYDRO AND OF COURSE SEWER AND WATER ALREADY EXIST UNDER THE ROAD SURFACE.

THANK YOU, SIR. COUNCILLOR TURNER.

MR. ANTUNES, I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND HERE IN YOUR SECOND LAST PARAGRAPH, TALKING ABOUT THE CLOSING DATE IN 30 DAYS, AND IT STATES THAT THE CITY PROVIDES NOTICE TO THE PURCHASER THAT ONTARIO HYDRO HAS INSTALLED A HYDRO LINE CONNECTION TO THE BOUNDARY LINE OF THE PROPERTY.

NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 21ST.

SO IF HYDRO FAILS TO COME THROUGH BY SEPTEMBER 21ST, WE LOOK TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANT TO EXTEND THE PURCHASE OR WANTS EXTEND.

AND HYDRO HAS ALREADY INDICATED THAT THEY ARE THE ONES RESPONSIBLE.

ACCORDING TO THIS, ONTARIO HYDRO HAS INSTALLED A HYDRO LINE CONNECTION TO THE BOUNDARY LINE, NOT THE CITY.

HYDRO. THROUGH YOUR WORSHIP? YES, COUNCILLOR TURNER, IT'S WORDED THAT WAY BECAUSE THE INSTALLATION FOR THAT SERVICE HAS TO BE DONE BY ONTARIO HYDRO.

IT'S VERY SPECIFIC. SO WE DON'T PICK A CONTRACTOR OURSELVES AS TO WHO WOULD INSTALL IT.

THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN PLACE IT.

SO THAT'S WHY IT WAS WORDED THAT WAY THAT ONTARIO HYDRO INSTALLED THE HYDRO TO THE LOT LINE EXCUSE ME, TO THE PROPERTY BOUNDARY, BECAUSE IT'S REALLY THE ONLY CONTRACTOR THAT CAN CAN DO IT.

RIGHT. SO WE'RE PAYING FOR IT EITHER THROUGH GRANT OR NOT.

AND I THINK HYDRO DOES GIVE US SOME CONSIDERATION AS TO WHERE THEY RUN THE LINE THROUGH YOUR WORSHIP. YES.

AND BOTH YOURS AND COUNCILLOR PATRIE POINT IT.

THAT'S WHAT THEY TOLD US.

WE HAVE A DRAWING. I CAN'T SIT IN FRONT OF YOU AND TELL YOU THAT I HAVE A DRAWING SAYING WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO PUT IT.

WE HAD THE CONTRACTOR ON SITE AND THAT'S WHAT HE HAD INDICATED WHEN HE WAS THERE.

BUT AGAIN, THERE'S NOTHING CARVED IN STONE.

HE INDICATED THAT HE PUT THE DROPS ON THE PROPERTY ON THE LOTS.

YES, SIR. OKAY.

THANKS, COUNCILLOR FINAMORE.

THANK YOU THREE TO MR. ANTUNES. I THINK WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS FOR A LONG TIME.

THIS HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR A LONG TIME, AND WE AGREED TO DO THIS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER WE GOT THE FUNDING OR NOT.

CORRECT. TO PROCEED SO THAT WE COULD SELL THESE PROPERTIES.

SO WHETHER OR NOT.

THE HYDRO DROPS A LINE IN EVERY PROPERTY OR NOT.

THIS IS WHAT WE EXPECTED TO HAPPEN, CORRECT? THROUGH YOUR WORSHIP? YES, MA'AM.

SO IN ORDER TO HAVE THE LOTS THERE AND SOLD, THEY NEED TO BE SERVICED.

AND IT WAS PRIOR TO MY TIME, AS I UNDERSTAND, WE NEED TO GET IT SERVICED.

AND WHETHER WE ABSORB THE COST OR WHETHER IT'S DONE THROUGH AN HFC AND FED NOR WE ARE PAYING TO GET THE HYDRO PUT INTO THE AREA.

AND YOU MOVED AHEAD IN THIS DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL.

YES, MA'AM. THROUGH INDICATION AND DIRECTION THAT WAS GIVEN PRIOR TO MY OBSERVING THE ROLL.

BUT YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU.

OKAY. SO THIS WAS A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND WE'LL HAVE THE BYLAW COMING UP A LITTLE BIT FURTHER DOWN THERE TO OBVIOUSLY DISCUSS A LITTLE BIT MORE.

AS INDICATED, COUNCIL DID GIVE THE GREEN LIGHT TO PROCEED WITH THIS.

WHY? BECAUSE KNOW SELLING MULTIPLE INDUSTRIAL LOTS FOR BUILDS MEANS GROWTH IN THE COMMUNITY MEANS TAX REVENUE MEANS MORE JOBS AND IS GOOD FOR EVERYBODY.

THIS IS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 101.

SO THANK YOU, MR. ANTUNES.

WITH THAT, I'LL CALL FOR THE VOTE.

ALL IN FAVOR THAT'S RECEIVED.

THANK YOU. 7.2 MEMO FROM THE MANAGER OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT LAND SALE FOX DRIVE.

I'LL JUST DO IT RIGHT OFF THE BAT.

A MOTION TO RECEIVE MOVED BY COUNCILLOR TURNER.

SECOND MY COUNCILLOR PEARCE MR. ANTUNES THANK YOUR WORSHIP AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT THE FIRST TIME AROUND THAT I DIDN'T GIVE YOU A RECOMMENDATION TO GO WITH AGAIN BY LAW.

COMING UP LATER ON IN THE AGENDA THIS IS JUST SHOW THE PUBLIC AT HOME AND COUNCIL CAN SEE A MORE SUMMARIZED VERSION OF WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT'S BEING SOLD FOR AND WHO IT'S GOING TO. ALSO ON FOX DRIVE, THIS IS THE LOT NEXT TO MR.

[00:15:01]

SO YOU CAN SEE PLAN ONE THREE EXCUSE ME, 13934 IS ON THERE AND YOU CAN CERTAINLY SEE A LOT ONE AND TWO ON THERE.

SO THIS IS PART TWO, WHICH IS THE FIRST ONE COMING IN TO FOX DRIVE AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCILLOR PATRIE.

THANK YOUR WORSHIP. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT OR AN AMENDMENT TO THE MEMO AND THAT IT BE RECEIVED AND THAT COUNCIL APPROVED THE SALE.

I THINK THE APPROVAL OF THE SALE WILL BE DONE IN THE BYLAW.

COUNCILLOR PATRIE. NO, THE BYLAW WILL ACTUALLY VINDICATE IT.

BUT WE NEED A RESOLUTION TO TAKE THE BIBLE AND WORSHIP.

OK AMENDMENT THAT THE REPORT BE RECEIVED AND THAT COUNCIL APPROVED THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY.

EXACTLY. MR. ANTUNES JUST FOR CLARITY, THE BYLAW IS THE PURCHASE AND THE SALE AGREEMENT.

YES. YOUR WORSHIP THE THE THEY'RE THE TWO BYLAWS COMING FORTH FROM THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OFFICE ARE THE AGREEMENT AGREEMENTS OF PURCHASE AND SALE PRE SIGNED BY THE TWO PURCHASERS. OKAY.

DON'T KNOW SECONDER FOR THE AMENDMENT AS IT'S COMING UP IN THE BYLAW.

SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO RECEIVE.

IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SALE OF THIS LOT? COUNCILLOR PATRIE. WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, YOUR WORSHIP USUALLY WHEN WE DO A MOTION, WE SEE THAT DIES ON THE TABLE.

WE HAVE NOT DONE A RESOLUTION OF COUNCIL TO DO THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT.

SO I DO ASK COUNCIL THAT WE ACTUALLY APPROVE THE PURCHASE AND SALE BUT NEED A RESOLUTION PRIOR TO GOING TO BYLAW.

THAT'S WHAT OUR PROCEDURAL BYLAW STATES IS.

WE SHOULD HAVE A RESOLUTION OF COUNCIL AND THEN A BYLAW TO SOLIDIFY WHAT WE HAVE DONE A RESOLUTION FOR.

IF WE RECEIVE THIS, THE BYELAW SHOULD BECOME MOOT.

IT SHOULDN'T COME TO THE TABLE.

AS FAR AS I KNOW, THE PURCHASE AND SALES HAVE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED BY COUNCIL AND THE BYLAW IS WHAT COMES TO THE END OF IT.

SO WITH THIS COUNCILLOR PATRIE WE JUST RECEIVED THE PREVIOUS ONE, THAT WOULD MEAN THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IN YOUR OPINION IS THAT WE'RE NOT APPROVING THE SALE OF 7.1. PROPERLY.

THAT IS THE ISSUE.

SO THE ISSUE IS WE COUNCIL HAS NOT APPROVED THIS COUNCIL HAS GIVEN A DIRECTION TO STAFF TO DO SOMETHING, BUT WE HAVE NEVER, BY RESOLUTION APPROVED THE SALE OF THIS PROPERTY. SO WE SHOULD APPROVE THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY AND THEN WE SHOULD BRING THE BYLAW FORWARD AND APPROVE THE BYLAW.

AND THAT'S OUR PROCEDURAL BYLAW.

IF IT DOESN'T HAVE A RESOLUTION OF COUNCIL TO DO IT, THE BYLAW SHOULDN'T COME FORWARD.

COUNCILLOR FINAMORE. THANK YOU WORSHIP.

THAT'S GETTING VERY CONVOLUTED BECAUSE THIS IS THE MEMO FOR INFORMATION THAT COUNCILLOR PATRIE REQUESTED THAT WE BRING FORWARD BEFORE WE DO BYLAWS FOR SALES AND PURCHASES.

SO I'M I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED, BUT THE BYLAW IS THE AUTHORIZES US TO ENTER INTO THE SALE OF AGREEMENT.

SO I THINK IT'S A MOOT POINT.

MM HMM. FINAL COMMENT, COUNCILLOR PATRIE.

THANK YOUR WORSHIP THE RESOLUTION.

IF THE COUNCIL APPROVES IT, AUTHORIZES US TO ENTER INTO THE BY LAW.

WE NEED A RESOLUTION TO MOVE FORWARD.

IF WE IT'S SIMILAR TO ANY OTHER ITEMS THAT COME FORWARD TO COUNCIL.

IF WE RECEIVE THEM, THEY DIE AT THE TABLE.

BECAUSE WE DON'T DO NEGATIVE BYLAWS.

SO WE HAVE TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE AND SALE, WHICH WE HAVEN'T DONE AS A COUNCIL.

WE'VE ONLY GIVEN DIRECTION TO STAFF AND THEN WE HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE BYLAW AFTER THERE'S A RESOLUTION PUT FORWARD.

IT'S JUST PROCEDURALLY CORRECT THE WAY THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO IT.

IT'S A SIMPLE AMENDMENT THAT WE APPROVE THE SALE.

WE HAVE NOT DONE THAT YET.

OKAY. THANK YOU, COUNCILLOR PATRIE, FOR YOUR CONCERN.

AS WAS STATED, THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED BY COUNCIL.

THESE ARE JUST COMING FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES.

FOR US, THE BYLAW IS WHAT'S GOING TO MAKE THE SOLIDIFIED.

WITH THAT WE HAVE A MOTION TO RECEIVE ON THE TABLE.

SO I'LL CALL FOR THE VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR.

OPPOSED. THAT'S CARRIED.

THANK YOU. ROLL CALL, COUNCILLOR TURNER.

FAVOR. COUNCILLOR FINAMORE IN FAVOR.

COUNCILLOR PEARCE IN FAVOR.

COUNCILLOR MANN. FAVOR.

COUNCILLOR CYR.

IN FAVOR. COUNCILLOR PATRIE.

OPPOSED TO RECEIVING.

[00:20:03]

MEMO FROM THE CLERK'S DEPARTMENT OR REZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT APPLICATION.

FURTHER TO THE PUBLIC MEETING HELD EARLIER THIS EVENING.

ATTACHED IS A REPORT FROM THE CITY'S PLANNER, J.L.

RICHARDS AND ASSOCIATES LIMITED WITH RESPECT TO ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT AS SUBMITTED BY L.A.

RE HILLARY FOR A ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 12 MAPLE ROAD AND PERHAPS IN EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT TO APPLICATIONS PERMITTED BULK ITEMS REFILL RETAIL AS PERMITTED HOME BASED BUSINESS ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT WILL PERMIT GOODS, WARES, MERCHANDISE PRODUCED ELSEWHERE TO BE SOLD ON THE PREMISES.

NOTICE OF THIS MEETING WAS ADVERTISED JULY 21, 2022, EDITION OF THE ELLIOT LAKE STANDARD.

NO COMMENTS WERE RECEIVED FROM THE PUBLIC WITH CONCERNS OF THIS APPLICATION.

THE APPLICATION IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PROVINCIAL POLICY STATEMENT, THE GROWTH PLAN FOR NORTHERN ONTARIO AND CONFORMS TO THE CITY OF ELLIOT LAKE OFFICIAL PLAN.

ACCORDINGLY, THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE REPORT FROM JL RICHARD, DATED AUGUST 17, 2022, BE RECEIVED, AND THAT THE APPLICATION FOR ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT AS SUBMITTED TO PERMIT A BULK ITEMS RIFLERY RETAIL STORE AS PERMITTED HOME BASED BUSINESS THAT ALLOWS FOR THE SALE OF GOODS, WARES AND MERCHANDISE PRODUCED ELSEWHERE TO BE SOLD ON SUBJECT PROPERTY, BE APPROVED AND THAT COUNCIL ENACT THE APPROPRIATE BYLAW TO REZONE THE LAND SUBJECT TO THIS APPLICATION MOVED BY COUNCILLOR MANN SECOND COUNCILLOR PEARCE.

THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS, COUNCILLOR FINAMORE.

THANK YOU, WORSIP. I JUST WOULD LIKE TO.

SAY THAT I'M SUPPORTING THIS ZONING AMENDMENT.

I DON'T SEE THIS ONLINE BUSINESS BEING ANY DIFFERENT THAN TUPPERWARE NOR WAX EPICURE ALL THE OTHER.

PEOPLE THAT LIVE AT HOME, THAT DO ONLINE SALES AND MAKE DELIVERIES AND HAVE PEOPLE PICK THEIR STUFF UP AT THEIR HOUSE.

I THINK THAT I COMMEND THE UCHIS FOR BEING SO INTEGRATED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. THEY SPONSORED A CLEAN UP THE CITY OF ELLIOT LAKE IN THE SPRING THAT MYSELF AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER PARTICIPATED IN.

I THINK WE DID THE WHOLE DOWNTOWN COURT AND THEY DID THAT ON THEIR OWN DIME, THEIR OWN TIME, AND ONLY BECAUSE THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY AND THEY CARE ABOUT THE STATE OF OUR ENVIRONMENT.

SO I REALLY THINK THAT THIS IS A BONUS TO THE CITY.

I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE A DETRIMENT TO ANYBODY.

I HEARD HER.

I HEARD MIZUKI SAY THAT IT WOULD BE DELIVERY OR TOUCHLESS PICKUP AT HER HOME, WHICH I THINK IS GREAT FOR OUR HEALTH CONCERNS THESE DAYS AS WELL. AND I THINK THAT PEOPLE WOULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT SOME SUPPLIES DURING COVID IF HAD SHE NOT HAD SOME OF THIS STUFF AVAILABLE IN HER HOME.

I ASKED HER HOW MANY SHE DOES ONLINE.

SHE SAYS BETWEEN 102 HUNDRED CUSTOMERS.

AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT THOSE CUSTOMERS WOULD DO IF THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THINGS AS GREEN AS THEY WANT TO WITHOUT HER SERVICE.

SO I COMMEND THEM FOR WORKING VERY HARD FOR THIS, FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

THANK YOU, COUNCILLOR FINAMORE JUST FOR THE PURPOSE OF THOSE AT HOME WATCHING THAT MAY NOT HAVE SEEN THIS.

THE PROPOSED BUSINESS ECO LIQUOR RIFLERY, WHICH WILL BE LOCATED 12 MAPLE ROAD, IS A PREORDER THAT YOU CAN ORDER ONLINE.

REFILLING YOUR JUGS OF SHAMPOO.

WAS IT TOOTHPASTE, DEODORANT, LAUNDRY DETERGENT.

SO YOU CAN CALL ONLINE A CALL OR GO ONLINE AND ORDER.

THEY WILL COME TO YOUR HOME, REFILL YOUR CONTAINERS FOR YOU.

SO YOU'RE KEEPING THESE PLASTIC CONTAINERS OUT OF THE LANDFILL, REUSING THEM, OR YOU CAN MAKE AN ORDER AND STOP IN AND PICK UP.

IT'S NOT A PLACE WHERE YOU GO WANDERING AROUND THE INSIDE OF THE HOME, FILLING UP A SHOPPING CART.

IT'S NOT RETAIL IN THAT ASPECT.

A GREAT INITIATIVE, AGAIN FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

BUT ALSO, AS THEY MENTIONED, ALL THE PRODUCTS THEY USE ARE SAFE, DO NOT HAVE ANY CHEMICALS.

SO ALL GOOD PRODUCTS OPEN IT UP AGAIN NOW THAT I HAVE EXPLAINED THAT.

COUNCILLOR MANN THANK YOU, WORSHIP, THROUGH YOU, AS I SAID DURING THE PRESENTATION AS WELL AND LISTENING TO MS. VARRO SPEAK ABOUT ABOUT AN ACCEPTABLE USE.

AND AGAIN, I THANK THE PROPONENT FOR COMING FORWARD.

AS IT WAS SUGGESTED EARLIER, I DID NOT SAY THAT THEY WERE DOING SOMETHING WRONG.

I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT TO EVERYONE.

WHAT I SAID WAS, THANK YOU FOR COMING FORWARD AND REGISTERING THE BUSINESS AND LOOKING FOR THIS AMENDMENT, BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THERE ARE BUSINESSES THAT ARE OPERATING WITHOUT

[00:25:02]

OPENNESS IN THE COMMUNITY AND WE'RE TRYING TO NOT POLICE BUT ENFORCE OUR BYLAWS.

SO THIS IS ONE THAT'S COMING FORWARD AND DOING IT PROPERLY.

SO I WANTED TO THANK THEM FOR THAT.

THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN, COUNCILLOR CYR.

THANK YOU YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU.

I'M TORN ON THIS ONE.

I MEAN, IT'S NOT A HUGE DEAL, BUT IT OPENS A CAN OF WORMS. I HAVE NO ISSUES WITH THE PROPONENT DELIVERING TO OTHER CUSTOMERS, BUT I DO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH.

CUSTOMERS COMING TO THE HOME, PICKING UP.

YOU COME INTO THE DRIVEWAY, BECOMES A PARKING LOT ISSUE.

AND AND IT'S NOT SO MUCH FOR THIS THIS ITEM.

BUT IF WE OPEN THIS CAN OF WORMS FOR THIS ONE BUSINESS, THEN WE HAVE TO FAIRLY DO IT FOR ANYBODY.

YOU CAN'T. WELL, YOU HAVE YOUR OPINION.

I HAVE MINE. SO.

I JUST TO ME, IF YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A LAW AND A BY LAW AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO START MAKING EXCEPTIONS FOR CERTAIN CATEGORIES AND BUSINESSES, THEN I THINK THAT BECOMES AN UNFAIR PRACTICE. AND I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF THAT, AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE.

OUR DOWNTOWN BUSINESS SECTOR IS ALREADY SUFFERING.

I THINK THAT JUST.

PUTS MORE PRESSURE ON OUR DOWNTOWN, WHERE MORE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO START THINKING OF WAYS TO DEVELOP THEIR BUSINESSES FROM HOME AND ABANDON THEIR DOWNTOWN LOCATIONS. AND I THINK YOU'RE JUST HURTING.

YOU'RE HAMPERING YOUR LONG TERM VIABILITY OF YOUR DOWNTOWN BY HAVING PEOPLE STARTING TO LOOK AT WAYS TO DEVELOP THEIR BUSINESS PLAN FROM HOME.

AND I JUST I'M NOT REALLY IN FAVOR OF GOING THAT WAY.

THANK YOU. COUNCILLOR CYR SO JUST JUST FOR CLARITY, WE HAD THE PUBLIC MEETING AT 6:30 AND THAT WAS BROUGHT UP.

AND WHAT WAS POINTED OUT BY SARAH RICHARDS WAS THAT, NO, THIS DOESN'T OPEN UP A CAN OF WORMS FOR FOR THE FUTURE IN THAT ASPECT, BECAUSE EVERY DIFFERENT ZONING AMENDMENT APPLICATION IS REVIEWED BASED ON WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

SO IN THIS SCENARIO, YOU ORDER ONLINE OR CALL THEY DELIVER TWICE A WEEK.

THEY ALSO HAVE A SPOT WHERE YOU CAN PULL IN THE DRIVEWAY AND PICK UP AND TAKE YOUR GOODS HOME.

IT'S A TESTER SO THAT IF THIS BUSINESS DOES TAKE OFF IN THE COMMUNITY, THEY CAN MOVE TO A COMMERCIAL LOCATION TO BETTER SUIT THE COMMUNITY IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT ISN'T SUPPORTED BY THE COMMUNITY.

NO FOUL, NO LOSS.

BUT JAEL RICHARDS WAS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS CANNOT BE COMPARED TO A BULK STORE NEXT DOOR.

THIS IS NOT A RETAIL.

THEY LOOK AT WHAT THE BUSINESS PROPOSAL IS, HOW MUCH SQUARE FEET IN THE HOME, WHAT YOU NEED AS FAR AS FIRE CODE, WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO NEED AS FAR AS PARKING.

SO THIS ACTUALLY MEETS THE CRITERIA WHERE THEY WOULD LOOK AT ANY FUTURE BUSINESS APPLICATIONS TO SEE IF IT ACTUALLY FITS WITHIN THE REALM OF BEING APPROVED OR NOT. HOPE THAT MAKES SENSE.

I THINK A LOT OF THAT IS JUST SUBJECTIVE, THOUGH, SO I'M STILL NOT IN FAVOR OF GOING THAT ROUTE.

THAT'S JUST MY OPINION.

OKAY, MR. TURNER. THANKS, YOUR WORSHIP.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT.

THIS HOME BASED BUSINESS JUST CELEBRATES THE SPIRIT OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP.

WE NEED MORE OF IT.

I HOPE TO SEE MORE OF IT, AND I ENCOURAGE IT.

AND I HOPE THAT TWO YEARS DOWN THE ROAD THAT THE PROPONENT IN THIS CASE FINDS HERSELF IN NEED OF A 2000 SQUARE FOOT WAREHOUSE SOMEWHERE. AND WE HAVE TO BE DOWN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO GO FIND SOMEONE TO BUILD IT FOR.

IT IS THE NATURE OF THE ENTREPRENEUR TO RISK THEIR PERSONAL MONEY TO INVEST INTO SOMETHING AND TAKE A CHANCE OF LOSING ALL.

BECAUSE THE BANK DOESN'T JUST SAY, OH, YOU'RE A CORPORATION HERE'S THE MONEY.

THEY WANT YOU PERSONALLY ONLINE.

SO IF THESE PEOPLE FAIL, THEY FAIL TOTALLY AND THEY GET TAKEN TO THE CLEANERS.

AND I PERSONALLY WANT TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO SUPPORT ENTREPRENEURS AND THE SPIRIT OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN ELLIOT LAKE.

SO WHATEVER WE CAN DO, LET'S DO IT.

COUNCILLOR PEARCE. THANK YOU, YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU.

THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT HAVE COME UP HERE, I THINK VERY INTERESTING.

FIRST OF ALL, LET ME SAY THAT I LIVE VERY CLOSE BY THE ULCHIES.

IN FACT, I CAN SEE THEIR HOUSE FROM MY BACK DECK.

I CAN TELL YOU FOR A FACT THERE IS NOT A TRAFFIC JAM THAT OCCURS ON MAPLE.

ANYBODY THAT'S DRIVEN ON MAPLE STREET KNOWS WHY.

I MEAN, YOU CAN'T REALLY PARK THERE ANYWAY.

[00:30:02]

AND IN TERMS OF OPENING IT UP TO OTHER BUSINESSES, AS THE MAYOR RIGHTLY POINTED OUT, THE.

IF, FOR WHATEVER REASONS, LYLE'S NO FRILL DECIDES TO DO THIS KIND OF A BUSINESS, THEN WE WILL LOOK AT IT.

BUT UNTIL THEN, NO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO.

AND I WOULD ALSO REMIND ALL THE COUNCILLORS THAT THERE ARE LOTS OF BUSINESSES THAT ARE OPERATING OUT OF THE HOME, AND SOME OF THEM TAKE UP A LOT MORE SPACE AND HAVE A LOT MORE CARS IN THE DRIVEWAY THAN THIS WILL.

I THINK THIS IS A GREAT INITIATIVE.

I COMMEND THE ULCHIES FOR THE WORK THEY DO IN A WHOLE RANGE OF AREAS.

BUT THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR, AND I THINK IT'S A GREAT INITIATIVE AND I PERSONALLY WILL SUPPORT THE BYELAW AND I WILL VERY PERSONALLY SUPPORT THE BUSINESS.

THANK YOU. COUNCILLOR FINAMORE THANK YOU, BISHOP.

THROUGH YOU TO COUNCILLOR CYR.

I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU SOMEWHAT IN YOUR STATEMENT.

HAD ANY BUSINESSES COME FORWARD WITH AN OBJECTION AND NOBODY DID.

SO I THINK FROM THAT POINT OF VIEW, IT WAS A PUBLIC MEETING.

THE BUSINESSES IN THE COMMUNITY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING FORWARD THEIR CONCERNS.

AND WE CERTAINLY I CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE LISTENED TO THOSE CONCERNS HAD THEY BROUGHT THEM FORWARD, BUT NOBODY BROUGHT THEM ANY FORWARD.

OK WITH THAT.

I'LL CALL FOR A ROLL CALL. VOTE COUNCILLOR MANN IN FAVOR.

COUNCILLOR CYR. I'M OPPOSED.

COUNCILLOR TURNER. IN FAVOR.

COUNCILLOR FINAMORE IN FAVOR.

COUNCILLOR PEARCE IN FAVOR.

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

THANK YOU. PRESENTATION OF COMMITTEE REPORT REPORTS.

THERE ARE NONE THIS EVENING.

NINE OUTSIDE BOARD AND COMMITTEE REPORTING NONE THIS EVENING.

[10. UNFINISHED BUSINESS]

10.2 RESIDENTIAL WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT UPDATE THERE IS NONE.

11 PETITIONS THERE ARE NONE.

CORRESPONDENCE NONE.

NOTICE OF MOTION NONE.

THE COUNCIL'S REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS VERY LATE THIS EVENING.

[14. COUNCIL REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS]

THE ADMIN ASSISTANT TO CAO AND COUNCIL BRENDA LACKEY HAS ANNOUNCED HER RETIREMENT.

SHE HAS TWO WEEKS LEFT WITH US.

I TOLD HER SHE CAN'T GO, BUT APPARENTLY SHE'S GOING ANYWAY.

KNOWN MS. LACKEY SINCE 1999.

FANTASTIC HUMAN BEING.

AND NOW WE GOT THE SAD SONG TO GO WITH IT.

THANK YOU FOR THAT, COUNCILLOR PEARCE.

JUST SO YOU KNOW, MISS LACKEY, WE ALL LOVE YOU AND WE'RE GOING TO MISS YOU AND WISH YOU THE BEST IN YOUR RETIREMENT.

HOPE YOU COME TO VISIT OFTEN.

I WAS GOING TO REQUEST THAT A SPECIAL CERTIFICATE BE PRINTED, BUT YOU'RE THE ONE THAT PRINTS THEM.

SO NO SURPRISE THERE.

ALL RIGHT. FRIENDSHIP.

INDIGENOUS FRIENDSHIP CENTER HAD A BARBECUE TODAY IN INFO SESSION, WEST VIEW PARK.

MISS DOYLE NAGANO.

HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE THAT? YOU WERE SAYING IT PERFECTLY BEFORE WE WERE RECORDING.

NAGANO OKAY.

SO THEY'RE GOING AND YES, HAD A BARBECUE VERY WELL ATTENDED, A LOT OF GREAT INFORMATION.

SO THEY'RE LOOKING AT PROVIDING ADDITIONAL SERVICES WITHIN ELLIOT LAKE TO THE INDIGENOUS MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY BUT ALSO TO THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. SO IT WAS VERY EXCITING, VERY WELL ATTENDED AND A LOT OF FANTASTIC INPUT THERE.

THE CONFERENCE, I BELIEVE THE MAJORITY OF ITS ATTENDED FOR VARIOUS DIFFERENT REASONS LAST WEEK IN OTTAWA, QUITE THE LONG DRIVE TO ADD ONE BACK.

THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY AN AMAZING CONFERENCE.

TWO YEARS WITHOUT IT PACKED HOUSE.

I DON'T EVEN THINK I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE ALL THE STANDS AT THE TRADE SHOW.

I DID SPEND A LOT OF TIME AT THE HYDRO ONE POINT AND WAS VERY, VERY CLEAR THAT HYDRO WAS ACTUALLY HAMPERING DEVELOPMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY AND WAS TOLD THAT WE WILL GET A CALL BACK THIS WEEK TO TAKE CARE OF SOME OF THE ISSUES WITH OUR FOX DRIVE.

SO HOPEFULLY THAT HAPPENS. BUT I JUST WANTED TO SAY A BIG THANK YOU TO THE MINISTERS THAT PROVIDED US WITH DELEGATION TIME, ACTUALLY PROVIDED US WITH MORE TIME THAN WE'RE USED TO, AND A SHOUT OUT OF THANKS TO MISSISSAUGA FIRST NATION CHIEF BOB SABELO, WHO DROVE UP ALSO FOR ONE OF THE DELEGATIONS, AND COUNCILLOR JACK TRUDEAU FROM SERPENT RIVER FIRST NATION, WHO ALSO ATTENDED TWO OF OUR DELEGATIONS.

I THINK THAT'S THE FIRST TIME, PROBABLY HISTORICALLY, FOR ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES COMING TOGETHER AT A CONFERENCE AND WORKING TOGETHER IN COLLABORATION FOR THE BETTERMENT

[00:35:09]

SO ABSOLUTELY PRECEDENT SETTING.

AND I JUST WANTED TO SHOUT OUT AGAIN A BIG THANK YOU TO THE GENTLEMEN AND THE COMMUNITIES THAT THEY REPRESENTED MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE FOR ALL OF US.

BEFORE I GET INTO THE REST, I'D OPEN UP TO MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, IF YOU HAVE ANY, ANYTHING YOU WANT TO PROVIDE AS FAR AS FEEDBACK.

COUNCILLOR FINAMORE THANK YOUR WORSHIP.

IT INDEED WAS VERY.

WELL. PHOTO CONFERENCE.

THE DISCUSSIONS WERE VERY RELEVANT TO WHAT'S GOING ON IN OUR WORLD TODAY.

IT WAS VERY.

WE OBVIOUSLY DON'T HAVE THAT ISSUE IN ELLIOT LAKE, BUT IT WAS VERY SAD TO HEAR ABOUT THE APATHY THAT THERE IS FOR THE MUNICIPALITIES AND THE POLITICAL WORLD.

THERE'S MANY MUNICIPALITIES THAT HAVE NO ONE RUNNING.

THAT INCUMBENTS ARE NOT BEING CHALLENGED AND SEATS ARE NOT BEING FILLED.

AND A LOT OF THE MAYORS AND A LOT OF THE COUNCILLORS THAT I SPOKE TO AND THE PANELS THAT I LISTEN TO, THEY'RE BLAMING SOCIAL MEDIA.

THAT THEY ARE JUST NOT.

INTERESTED IN IN PARTICIPATING IN THAT LEVEL OF.

BEHAVIOR ANYMORE.

I WENT TO A PANEL WITH SOME VERY BRILLIANT WOMEN.

ONE WAS HER FIRST TIME IN POLITICS FOR FOUR YEARS, AND SHE JUST SAID THAT THEY CAN'T DO IT.

ANOTHER LADY SAID THAT SHE THE DAY OF THE ELECTION FOUR YEARS AGO, SHE GOT UP TO A SMEAR CAMPAIGN.

IN THE MORNING SHE WAS INDIGENOUS AND THERE WAS SHE WAS FROM SHE WAS NOT INDIGENOUS.

SHE WAS FROM I THINK HER IRAN OR AN EAST ASIAN COUNTRY.

AND THERE WAS SIGNS THAT WERE UP STATING, DO YOU WANT TERRORISTS IN YOUR RUNNING YOUR MUNICIPALITY? SO I THINK THAT PEOPLE ARE AFRAID, NOT AFRAID.

THEY'RE JUST DONE.

THEY'RE JUST TIRED OF TRYING TO SEE THEIR VALUES, THEIR ETHICS AND THEIR MORALS BEING RIPPED APART BY SOCIAL MEDIA.

AND I HEARD SOME BRILLIANT.

FEMALE SPEAKERS IN THE WOMEN'S NETWORKING THAT I WENT TO AND THEY TALKED ABOUT THE BARRIERS.

SO I'M VERY HAPPY TO SEE THAT OTHER WOMEN ARE RUNNING FOR COUNCIL HERE BECAUSE IT'S NOT HAPPENING IN A LOT OF OTHER PLACES.

THERE IS IT'S AMAZING TODAY IN 2022 TO SIT IN A ROOM WITH THE FIRST INDIGENOUS MAYOR OF A COMMUNITY, THE FIRST BLACK COUNCILLOR IN A COMMUNITY.

THE FIRST BLACK FEMALE COUNCILLOR.

THE FIRST LESBIAN BLACK WOMAN IN COUNCIL IN THE COMMUNITY LIKE THIS.

IT'S PROGRESS, BUT IT'S WAY BEHIND WHAT SHOULD BE HAPPENING IN OUR COUNTRY.

BUT I LEARNED A LOT.

I THINK THE MINISTERS THAT TOOK THE TIME TO MEET WITH US.

SOME OF IT WAS FRUSTRATING.

SOME OF IT WAS ENLIGHTENING.

AND. BUT I THINK MIKE MARTHA FOR COMING ALONG TO THE DELEGATIONS THAT HE DID AS WELL TO MAKE THE TIME TO COME WITH US AND I. WENT TO ALL THE THINGS I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO.

I PARTICIPATED, I LEARNED, I LISTENED.

AND WE ARE AGAIN LEADING THE PROVINCE IN OUR RELATIONSHIP BUILDING WITH OUR INDIGENOUS.

NEIGHBORS. WE I WENT TO ONE WORKSHOP THAT WAS ABOUT ENGAGING WITH YOUR INDIGENOUS PARTNERS.

AND WE'RE THERE.

WE BROUGHT THEM WITH US.

SOME OF THEM CAN'T EVEN.

DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO GET IN THE DOOR TO HAVE A CONVERSATION.

AND WE ARE SO FAR BEYOND THAT.

AND I'M VERY PROUD OF ELLIOT LAKE FOR AND TO OUR INDIGENOUS PARTNERS ALONG THE NORTH SHORE THAT WELCOME US AND PARTICIPATE WITH US AND SEE THAT WE CAN HAVE A SHARED VISION AND THAT WE CAN MOVE TOGETHER ECONOMICALLY AND MAKE ELLIOT LAKE IN THE REGION A MUCH BETTER PLACE FOR ALL OF US TO LIVE.

COUNCILLOR PEARCE. THANK YOU, YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU.

I WOULD ECHO A LOT OF SENTIMENTS THAT COUNCILLOR FINAMORE HAS BROUGHT UP.

I PARTICULARLY WOULD LIKE TO THANK CHIEF GIBLER AND COUNCILLOR TRUDEAU.

I THINK THEIR PRESENCE AND THEIR WORDS WENT A LONG WAY TO HELPING US.

I SHOULD ADVISE COUNCIL THAT LATE THIS AFTERNOON I HAD A COMMUNICATION FROM THE INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS BEEN DELEGATED TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE

[00:40:05]

AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S IN ANY SMALL WAY.

I THINK IT IS VERY MUCH BECAUSE OF THE MEETINGS WE HAD WITH THE MINISTER, AND I THINK THAT WAS A VERY GOOD THING AND I APPLAUD THEM BOTH MINISTER PICCINI AND THE OTHERS WHO MET WITH US.

I THINK THEY LISTENED.

WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE GOING TO DO ANYTHING, I DON'T KNOW.

BUT THEY DID AT LEAST LISTEN.

AND THERE WAS SOME, VERY GOOD CONVERSATION.

WITH REGARDS TO THE APATHY, PEOPLE RUNNING.

I WOULD JUST POINT OUT THAT OUR GOOD FRIENDS DOWN A BLIND RIVER ARE ALREADY FACING THAT.

THEY'VE HAD TO EXTEND THEIR DATE FOR PEOPLE TO APPLY.

AND RIGHT NOW, ALMOST ALL OF THE COUNCIL WILL BE ACCLAIMED, INCLUDING THE MAYOR.

SO IT'S NOT GOOD.

IT SHOULDN'T BE LIKE THAT.

I CAN SAY THAT BECAUSE I'M NOT RUNNING.

SO THERE YOU GO. JUST I'D LIKE TO CLOSE OUT BY MENTIONING MS. LACKEY AS WELL. BRENDA AND I HAVE WORKED TOGETHER FOR OVER 12 YEARS IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER IN VARIOUS JOBS.

AND SHE'S A WONDERFUL LADY WHO WORKS VERY HARD, AND SHE'S BEEN AN ASSET TO THIS COMMUNITY.

AND I WISH HER ALL THE BEST IN HER RETIREMENT.

COUNCILLOR TURNER, WHAT DID YOU LEARN? THANK YOU, BRENDA.

YOU'RE THE BEST. COUNCILLOR MANN ANY HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE CONFERENCE? I THINK I WOULD AGREE WITH THE COMMENTS AND SENTIMENTS OF THE BALANCE OF COUNCIL AND OBVIOUSLY SOME OF COUNCILLOR FINAMORE COMMENTS HAVE AGAIN AROUND INCLUSION AND EQUALITY AND UNDERSTANDING.

BUT I GUESS ONE OF THE TAKEAWAYS I DID HAVE IS NORTHERN ONTARIO WAS IS GOING TO CONTINUE HAVING CHALLENGES WITH THIS PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT ON FUNDING AND I GUESS EQUITY IN GENERAL AND ENSURING THAT THE FUNDING STREAMS DO CONTINUE TO COME NORTH.

THE PREMIER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS LOST TRACK OF HOW MANY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THEY ANNOUNCE.

THAT IS HIS OPENING REMARKS ON MONDAY MORNING.

HOWEVER, WE ALL KNOW THAT RESIDING AND AGAIN, NO DISRESPECT TO PROVINCIAL PARTIES, BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE'RE NOT IN A BLUE RIDING.

SO OF COURSE THAT IS A BIT OF A DETRIMENT, IS NOT LOOKED AT AS FAVORABLY FOR FUNDING.

WE HAVE TO WORK TWICE AS HARD.

WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT THE FIGHT AND WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO TO BE THERE AT THESE OPPORTUNITIES TO ENSURE WE'RE HAMMERING THE MESSAGE HOME.

AND I JUST THINK THE BALANCE OF COUNCIL FOR ENSURING THAT THAT DID OCCUR LAST WEEK IN OTTAWA.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN.

ABSOLUTELY. THE ON THE FUNDING PIECE, THERE ARE LOTS OF BIG FUNDING ANNOUNCEMENTS INCREASES HERE AND THERE AND I DEFINITELY FEEL LIKE THERE IS FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR NORTHERN MUNICIPALITIES.

BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT STACKING A WHOLE LOT OF SMALLER PURSES TOGETHER RATHER THAN A LARGER PURSES, WHICH IS DOABLE BUT FRUSTRATING AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE IT MEANS TEN TIMES AS MUCH WORK FOR OUR STAFF AND OUR COUNCILS.

AS FAR AS PLANNING, MINISTER OF NORTHERN AFFAIRS AND INDIGENOUS AFFAIRS MADE IT QUITE CLEAR ALSO WITH OUR DISCUSSIONS THAT OUR COMMUNITIES AND WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IN ELLIOT LAKE, AS FAR AS RECONCILIATION, IS BEYOND PROVINCIAL EXPECTATIONS AND WHAT THEY'RE PREPARED FOR RIGHT NOW.

SO I THINK THE COMMENT HAD BEEN MADE THAT WE'RE TRAILBLAZERS AND I'M GOING TO QUOTE COUNCILLOR JACK TRUDEAU, WHO SAID, THIS ISN'T A RECONCILIATION, IT'S RECONCILIATION.

AND HE'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

WE'RE DOING WHAT WE CAN BEST TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS AND.

TO ACTUALLY BE PARTNERS AND MOVE OUR COMMUNITIES FORWARD TOGETHER, AS THEY SAID.

OUR CONCERN IS NOT THE LAST SEVEN GENERATIONS, IT'S THE NEXT SEVEN GENERATIONS AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO MAKE IT RIGHT FOR THEM.

SO A GOOD JOB ON EVERYONE ON COUNCIL.

AND AGAIN, A BIG THANKS TO CHIEF CERULLO AND COUNCILLOR TRUDEAU.

OTHER THINGS THAT WE HAVE COMING UP IN THE COMMUNITY CAMP FREEDOM.

WE'LL BE TAKING PLACE AT DUNLOP LAKE LODGE, AUGUST 26, 27TH AND 28TH.

I BELIEVE YOU CAN REGISTER FOR THAT ONLINE OR CALL DUNLOP LAKE LODGE.

WE ALSO HAVE A SHOWCASE COMING UP SEPTEMBER 3RD AT THE MOOSE LODGE.

THE ORIGINALS ONLY SHOWCASE, WHICH IS LOCAL ARTISTS, WILL BE DOING A SHOW FROM 2 TO 6 P.M.

AND IT'S A $10 COVER.

THAT'S AGAIN SEPTEMBER 3RD FROM 2 P.M.

TO 6 P.M. AND AFTERNOON SHOW.

IS THERE ANY OTHER ADDITIONS FOR COMMUNITY EVENTS? WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF SUMMER HERE, SO.

COUNCILLOR FINAMORE. I BELIEVE THE RED WINGS BEGIN THEIR HOCKEY ON FRIDAY NIGHT.

THIS FRIDAY? YES. HOSTING THE BLIND RIVER BEAVERS.

[00:45:01]

IS THAT CORRECT? BACK TO BACK TO BACK.

IT'S FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

THANK YOU, YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU.

I HAD SIMILAR QUESTIONS TO COUNCILLOR MANN SEEING AS WE'VE GOT FIVE NEW VEHICLES COMING ON IN THE BYLAW WITH NO REPORTS.

BUT I DID SPEAK WITH THE TREASURER AND SOME OF THESE ARE ACTUALLY 2021 BUDGETED ITEMS, BUT ALL FIVE OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE BEEN PRE-APPROVED BY COUNCIL.

SOME OF IT WAS A DELIVERY ISSUE, BUT THEY ARE ALL.

EITHER IN THE 21 OR 22 BUDGETS.

THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION COUNCILLOR PATRIE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? CALL FOR THE VOTE THEN. ALL IN FAVOR.

MOVER PLEASE MOVE BY COUNCILLOR CYR SECOND MY COUNCILLOR FINAMORE.

THANK YOU AGAIN. ANY QUESTIONS? QUALMS QUERIES? COUNCILLOR PATRIE.

THANK YOU, YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU TO MR. HALLOCH. THESE ARE ALL REPLACEMENT VEHICLES.

DO WE KNOW WHEN WE WOULD BE RECEIVING DELIVERY AND HOW WILL WE BE REMOVING THE OTHER FIVE VEHICLES FROM THE FLEET.

THROUGH YOUR WORSHIP? YEAH. SO THESE ARE ALL GOING TO BE DELIVERED RIGHT NOW WITH A LOT OF THE PURCHASES THAT ARE GOING THROUGH.

WE'RE JUST SECURING CHASSIS AND EVERYTHING FOR BASICALLY 2023.

MAJORITY OF THE DATES FROM ANYWHERE THAT WE WERE DEALING WITH WERE 4 TO 6 MONTHS AWAY, NOBODY BEING ABLE TO GIVE US AN EXACT DATE.

SO THAT'S ALL COMING.

WE'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT RECEIVING MAJORITY OF THE VEHICLES IN THE FLEET THAT WE'RE PURCHASING IN 2023.

IF ANYTHING HAPPENS ANY EARLIER BONUS, BUT NOBODY'S HOLDING THEIR BREATH.

AND WITH THE OTHER ONES, THEY'LL EITHER BE SOLD OFF IN AN AUCTION THROUGH THROUGH OUR DEPARTMENT OR SENT THROUGH TO GOV DEALS.

AND WE'LL SEE IF WE CAN GET THE BEST PRICE FOR THE VEHICLES THAT THEY'RE REPLACING.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I'LL CALL FOR THE VOTE THEN. ALL IN FAVOR.

THAT'S CARRIED. THANK YOU.

16.6 BYLAW, 22.88 BEING A BYLAW TO AUTHORIZE AN AGREEMENT WITH STEEL CONTROL SERVICES FOR TRAFFIC LIGHTS.

MOVE BY COUNCILLOR MANN TAKEN BY COUNCILLOR TURNER.

AGAIN, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? ACTING CAO. I JUST WANTED TO STATE ON THIS ONE, TOO, BECAUSE THIS WAS SOMETHING WE BROUGHT THROUGH TO COUNCIL AND WE TALKED ABOUT IT.

WE ENDED UP GETTING A PRICE, A LOWER PRICE GOING FOR A WE DIDN'T NEED TO GO WITH THE LARGER MTO BOX ON IT, SO WE WENT WITH A SMALLER ONE AND SAVED OURSELVES $10,000 THAT WAY.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT THAT WAS WHAT WE WERE WAITING FOR.

SO THAT'S WHY THIS BYLAW IS COMING THROUGH.

BUT IT HAS BEEN ORDERED AND IT WAS A SAVINGS OF 10,000 FROM IT WENT FROM 36 I BELIEVE DOWN TO 26,000 SOMETHING.

SO WE CAN GO WITH A SMALLER CABINET.

WE DIDN'T NEED AS COMPLICATED OF A CABINET AS WE HAD, SO THAT'S WHAT WE ORDERED.

OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. COUNCILLOR MANN. THANK YOU, WORSHIP.

THROUGH YOU TO MR. HALLOCH, WHAT WOULD BE AVAILABILITY ON THAT ITEM? I'M STILL WAITING TO GET AN EMAIL BACK.

THE FIRST ONE THAT WE WERE GOING TO GET WAS GOING TO BE EIGHT WEEKS, SO I'M HOPING THAT THIS ONE'S A LITTLE BIT SOONER.

HE WAS SEEING IF ONE OF THE OTHER CONNECTIONS THEY HAD HAD ONE IN STOCK.

IF NOT, WE'RE PROBABLY LOOKING CLOSE TO THAT EIGHT WEEK PERIOD AS WELL.

SOONER THEY COME IN THE BETTER.

YOUR WORSHIP. ABSOLUTELY.

JUST TO FOLLOW UP TO THAT, IF I MIGHT.

ARE WE GOING TO HAVE STAFF TRAINED ON BEING ABLE TO RESET THESE SYSTEMS AND NOT HAVE TO DO CALL OUTS ON A BIWEEKLY BASIS? SO RIGHT NOW, WE DO HAVE STAFF THAT'S TRAINED ON THEM.

THE PROBLEM IS, IS WHEN THAT PROBLEM PERSISTED, THAT'S USUALLY WHEN WE CALL THE COMPANY NOW.

SO THE CALL OUTS THAT ARE EVEN BOTHERED ME MORE THAN THAN CALLING THE ONES FROM SUDBURY ARE THE ONES WHERE WE HAVE PEOPLE COMING AND RESETTING THEM JUST AS A QUICK CALL OUT AND THEN LEAVING AND GOING AGAIN.

AND THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN HALF AN HOUR LATER OR SAY 4 HOURS LATER, AND THAT NOW YOU'RE DOING THAT AGAIN.

SO THAT'S WHERE THE CALL OUTS ARE MORE OF A COST TO THE CITY.

SO THE ONES FROM SUDBURY OR THE INITIAL COMPANY THAT COMES DOWN, THEY USUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM THAT LASTS FOR AS LONG AS WE SEE FOR MAYBE A MONTH OR TWO, AND NOW IT'S GONE AGAIN. SO THIS WHOLE REPLACEMENT WILL CUT ALL THAT OUT OF THERE AND THERE WILL BE THE CITY ELECTRICIAN ALONG WITH A FEW OTHER ONES TRAINED ON.

EXACTLY IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WE HAVE TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT WE KNOW NOW.

GOOD STUFF. THANK YOU. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS THEN? I'LL CALL FOR THE VOTE THEN.

ALL IN FAVOR. THAT'S CARRIED.

THANK YOU. 16.7 BYLAW.

22.89 BEING A BYLAW TO AMEND BYLAW NUMBER 2018 36 TO REZONE 12 MAPLE ROAD FROM RESIDENTIAL ONE AND TO UNIT DWELLING ONE TO RESIDENTIAL ONE AND TWO UNIT DWELLING EXCEPTION TEN AH 110 ZONING TO PERMIT A HILARY AS A HOME BASED BUSINESS ACCESSORY TO THE DWELLING BY COUNCILLOR PEARCE SECOND BY COUNCILLOR TURNER. FINAL QUESTION.

COLUMNS QUERIES COUNCILLOR PATRIE.

SORRY. SOMETHING CAME UP ON MY SCREEN.

I COULDN'T HIT MY MUTE BUTTON THROUGH YOUR WORSHIP, SO OBVIOUSLY I WAS KICKED OUT FROM ZOOM DURING THE DISCUSSION OF THIS.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW IF STAFF OR IF MISS FARROW DID COME BACK ON.

[00:55:03]

SO THEN CAN I PUT A MOTION TO AMEND THE BYLAW? THE WORDING OF THE BYLAW THAT IT BECOMES THAT IT'S NOT AN IN-PERSON RETAIL STORE SIMILAR TO WHAT THE PROPONENT HAS STATED.

JUST SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE THIS PRECEDENT SETTING ISSUE.

BEFORE THE AMENDMENT IS OUR SECONDER FOR THE AMENDMENT SECONDED BY COUNCILLOR CYR.

OKAY. QUESTIONS QUORUMS QUERIES ON THE AMENDMENT.

YOU KNOW, JUST TO REITERATE, JAY RICHARDS, THEY SAID THIS WOULD NOT BE PRECEDENT SETTING BECAUSE EVERY ZONING AMENDMENT WOULD BE LOOKED AT ON THE BASIS OF THE BUSINESS THAT THEY'RE PUTTING FORWARD AND WHETHER IT FITS WITHIN OUR ZONING BYLAW OR NOT.

SO THIS IS A ONE OFF.

AND THE FACT THAT, NO, YOU'RE NOT GOING INTO THE HOUSE TO GO SHOPPING.

COUNCILLOR PATRIE. THAT'S THE POINT.

YOUR WORSHIP AND THE OMB WOULD LOOK AT IT AS PRECEDENT SETTING IF WE SAID NO TO THE NEXT PERSON AND WE'VE SAID YES TO IT AT THIS ONE, REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT THE PROPONENT IS IN AGREEMENT THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE AN IN-PERSON SHOPPING RETAIL STORE.

SO I WOULD JUST LIKE IT TO BE THAT IT IS A RIFLERY AS A HOME BASED BUSINESS ACCESSORY DWELLING, ALLOWING THE SALE OF GOODS, WARES AND MERCHANDISE PRODUCED ELSEWHERE TO BE PICKED UP AT THE PREMISES OR DELIVERED.

THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING IS TO CHANGE THE WORDING, TO TAKE THE RETAIL STORE ASPECT OUT OF IT.

I THINK IT'S VERY SIMPLE.

[INAUDIBLE] AGREED SOMEWHAT.

I DON'T KNOW IF SHE MADE IT BACK AND THE PROPONENT IS FOR SURE WAS IN AGREEMENT AS WELL DURING THE CONVERSATION THAT THE EARLIER PORTION OF THE MEETING OR THE EARLIER MEETING.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO START A SLIPPERY SLOPE.

I'M JUST I'M PERSONALLY NOT COMFORTABLE TO PERSONALLY NOT COMFORTABLE.

CARRY ON, COUNCILLOR PATRIE.

IT'S NOT HARD TO DO TO JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PROTECTING THE MUNICIPALITY BY CHANGING THE WORDING WHEN THE PROPONENT IS NOT LOOKING TO DO AN ACTUAL RETAIL STORE ANYWAY. IT JUST PROTECTS FUTURE COUNCILS DOWN THE ROAD TO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT.

SO IF WE JUST CHANGE THE WORDING TO WHAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE DOING AND FACILITATE THEM AND ALLOW THEM TO OPEN THIS BUSINESS OR DO LIKE THEY'VE DONE IT AND HAVE THIS BUSINESS WITHIN THE LEGAL LAWS AND CONFINES OF THE MUNICIPALITY AND NOT PUT US AT RISK IN THE FUTURE.

I THINK IT'S A VERY SIMPLE FIX.

THANK YOU. COUNCILLOR PATRIE IT'S VERY CLEAR FROM JL, RICHARDS ONCE AGAIN THAT THIS IS WITHIN THE LEGAL BOUNDARIES OF THE MUNICIPALITY.

I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE CHANGING UP THE WORDING THAT'S BEEN PROVIDED BY J.L.

RICHARDS AND ASSOCIATES, THE PROFESSIONALS IN THIS AREA.

AND I DEFER TO MS. DOYLE, IF I COULD. THANK YOU.

YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU. SO TO COUNCILLOR PATRIE.

JUST AS PER THE PROCEDURAL BYLAW, A BYLAW CANNOT BE AMENDED.

THE ZONING APPROVAL HAS ALREADY BEEN VOTED ON AND CARRIED AS OF EARLIER.

AND THE BYLAW.

THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR RIGHT NOW IS TO PASS THE BYLAW.

OR NOT. OKAY.

THANK YOU, MISS DOYLE. SO THAT'S A NO TO THE AMENDMENT.

SO I WILL CALL FOR A ROLL CALL VOTE.

COUNCILLOR TURNER. IN FAVOR.

COUNCILLOR FINAMORE. IN FAVOR. COUNCILLOR PEARCE IN FAVOR.

COUNCILLOR MANN IN FAVOR.

COUNCILLOR CYR.

WHAT ARE WE VOTING FOR ON THE AMENDMENT? NO, WE'RE VOTING ON THE ACTUAL BYLAW.

I'M OPPOSED. COUNCILLOR PATRIE.

AS WRITTEN I'M OPPOSED.

I WISH I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN KICKED OUT.

OKAY. THANK YOU. AND I'M IN FAVOR.

SO THAT'S CARRIED. 17 CLOSED A SESSION.

THERE IS NONE THIS EVENING.
