THE SKI HILL OR THE SKI CLIMB IS STARTING TO TAKE TRACTION.

KUDOS TO MR. BRUNET AND HIS TEAM FOR WHAT THEY'VE BEEN DOING.

THEY'VE PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO THIS SO FAR.

AND JUST TO CLARIFY, THE REASON FOR ENTERING INTO THE MOU WAS TO EXPAND THE COVERAGE OF THE USUAL MEMORANDUM OR THE EXISTING MEMORANDUM WITH THE MOUNT DUFOUR SKI AREA GROUP TO INCLUDE THE PARKING LOT AS WELL, WHICH IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE DID THE MOU.

THE MOUNT DUFOUR SKI AREA HAS GOTTEN A INSURANCE SPECIAL EVENT INSURANCE POLICY TO COVER THIS EVENT.

SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL AREAS OF THE SKI HILL WERE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION AND COVERED UNDER THE EVENT.

AS I SAID, THEY'RE DOING EXTREMELY WELL.

SPEAKING WITH MR. BRUNET, 17 ENTRANTS ALREADY SO FAR, RANGING FROM TIMMINS TO KAPUSKASING, QUITE A FEW AREAS COMING IN.

AND THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF A COMMUNITY GROUP, A NOT FOR PROFIT WORKING WITH THE CITY TO PUT ON AN EVENT.

AND. WHEREAS, THE RECREATION COMMITTEE AGREED IN DECEMBER 2022 THAT A DIFFERENT MODEL WAS NECESSARY TO HOST THE ANNUAL DRAG RACES TO MINIMIZE THE NET COST AND OPPORTUNITY COST TO THE TAXPAYER.

AND. WHEREAS, EFFORTS TO SECURE A THIRD PARTY TO MANAGE THE RACES USING A MODEL HAVE PROVEN UNSUCCESSFUL TO DATE.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE 2023 DRAG RACES AND ELLIOT LAKE BE CANCELED, AND THAT THE 2023 MUNICIPAL BUDGET ITEM FOR THE RACES BE REMOVED AND THAT ADMINISTRATION BE DIRECTED TO REMAIN OPEN TO OPTIONS FROM THIRD PARTIES AND NONPROFIT GROUPS TO HOST DRAG RACE EVENTS IN THE FUTURE USING THE NEW MODEL FOR USE OF THE AIRPORT AND THAT ADMINISTRATION BE DIRECTED TO RESEARCH OPTIONS FOR ANOTHER SUMMER EVENT THAT WOULD REPRESENT POSITIVE ECONOMIC IMPACT TO THE LOCAL BUSINESS COMMUNITY WHILE REQUIRING A MORE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF STAFF, TIME AND SUPPORT FOR THE SUMMER OF 2024 AND BEYOND AND REPORT ACCORDINGLY AT A FUTURE MEETING OF A STANDING COMMITTEE.

DO WE HAVE A MOVER AND A SECONDER? COUNCILLOR BULL. COUNCILLOR FLINTOFF.

ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR CONCERNS? MR. GAGNON. WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING? THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR.

ACTING MAYOR. JUST A SUMMARY THAT WE'VE SEEN THIS COMING, YOU KNOW, SINCE DECEMBER.

WE'VE SEEN IT SINCE LAST YEAR AS WELL, WHEN WE STRUGGLED TO HOST THE 2022 EVENT.

YOU KNOW, I TRIED TO OUTLINE IN THE REPORT SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT HAVE CHANGED AND MORPHED OVER THE YEARS AND THAT ARE MAKING THE THE EVENT MORE AND MORE CHALLENGING FOR ADMINISTRATION. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SECURE OUR HOPES AND DREAMS OF A THIRD PARTY THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO BASICALLY TAKE THE TURNKEY EVENT AND

[00:10:07]

WE DON'T WE STILL BELIEVE THAT MODEL CAN WORK AND WE STILL ARE OPEN TO THAT'S WHY WE WORDED THE MOTION.

THE WAY WE HAVE IS THAT WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH ANY THIRD PARTY WHO MIGHT COME OUT OF THE WOODWORK AND WORK WITH US TO SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DONE FOR 2024.

BUT THE WAY THIS EVENT IS, WITH ALL THE SPONSORSHIPS AND THE PLANNING, IT REQUIRES A LONG LEAD TIME.

SO UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR A 2023 RACE AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME.

SO THAT'S WHY WE STRUCTURED THE REPORT AND THE MOTION THE WAY WE HAVE.

AND WE WE HOPE THAT WE COULD SEE A RETURN OF THAT EVENT IN A WAY THAT IS MANAGEABLE FOR THE BOTTOM LINE, FOR THE RATEPAYERS AND FOR ALL THE CONSIDERATIONS THAT THAT COUNCIL AND ADMINISTRATION HAVE.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.

OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. GAGNON.

COUNCILLOR MANN.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.

THROUGH YOU. I JUST WANTED TO ECHO COUNCILLOR MR. GAGNON POINTS AND JUST SAY IF IT'S OKAY WITH THE BALANCE OF COUNCIL THAT WE ADD TO THE RECOMMENDATION WITH REGRET.

CLEARLY I THINK THE EVENT HAS BEEN A BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY.

I THINK THOUGH, LOOKING AT THE COST OF THE EVENT TO THE MUNICIPALITY, I WOULD AGREE THAT IT HAS BEEN INCREASING AND WE ARE STILL OPEN TO HAVING IT.

SO I JUST WANT TO TO CONVEY TO THE COMMUNITY THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE DO EASILY, BUT I THINK IT'S UNFORTUNATELY THE WAY IT IS THIS YEAR.

BUT AGAIN, I THINK WE SHOULD BE OPEN TO REVIEWING IT IN THE FUTURE IF, AGAIN, A THIRD PARTY COMES FORWARD.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

THANK YOU. COUNCILLOR MANN ANY OTHER COMMENTS? COUNCILLOR FLINTOFF.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I ALSO LIKE TO ECHO COUNCILLOR MANN.

I SINCERELY HOPE IN 2024 THAT A THIRD PARTY DOES STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND TRY AND MAKE THIS HAPPEN BECAUSE IT WILL BE SUPPORTED.

WE JUST NEED SOMEBODY TO PICK UP THE MANTLE AND RUN WITH IT.

THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, COUNCILLOR FLINTOFF.

I ALSO ECHO THE THOUGHTS.

IT IS A VERY UNFORTUNATE THING.

I'VE VOLUNTEERED AT MANY OF THE DRAG RACES THROUGH THE ROTARY CLUB.

IT IS A BIG EVENT FOR ELLIOT LAKE AND I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS DECISION OR WILL BE DISAPPOINTED.

I THINK IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A CLUB IN IN THE CITY TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE AND STEP UP RIGHT NOW.

IT GIVES YOU PRETTY MUCH THREE MONTHS PLUS A YEAR FOR THE NEXT EVENT.

THAT SHOULD BE AN AWFUL LOT OF TIME IF WE CAN GET SOMETHING ORGANIZED.

AND AS WE SAID, AS A AS A COUNCIL, WE ARE WILLING TO HELP ANYTIME WE CAN.

YEAH, SO WITH REGRET, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE A VOTE.

ALL IN FAVOR? AND NONE ARE OPPOSED AND THAT IS CARRIED.

7.6 REPORT FROM THE HUMAN RESOURCES COORDINATOR REGARDING AD HOC COUNCIL REMUNERATION COMMITTEE THAT THE REPORT OF THE HUMAN RESOURCES COORDINATOR BE RECEIVED AND THAT COUNCIL DIRECT STAFF TO STRIKE AN AD HOC COUNCIL REMUNERATION COMMITTEE CONSISTING OF THREE COMMUNITY MEMBERS SELECTED BY THE CAO AND HUMAN RESOURCES COORDINATOR TO REVIEW COUNCIL REMUNERATION AND THAT THE AD HOC COMMITTEE BE DIRECTED TO PROVIDE A REPORT TO COUNCIL WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE AD HOC COMMITTEE'S FIRST SITTING. MAY I HAVE A MOVER AND A SECONDER? COUNCILLOR SEIDEL. COUNCILLOR MORISSETTE.

CROSKERY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT, PLEASE? THANK YOU. THROUGH YOU, YOUR WORSHIP.

YES. SO STATED IN THE BYLAW THE COUNCIL REMUNERATION BYLAW.

IT IS THE DIRECTION TO STRIKE A COMMITTEE AFTER EVERY ELECTION TO REVIEW COUNCILORS REMUNERATION TO ENSURE THAT WE REMAIN COMPETITIVE. AND SO BY DOING THAT, IN THE PAST, WE HAVE SECURED COMPARATORS FROM OTHER MUNICIPALITIES.

SO I'VE TAKEN THE SAME COMPARATORS THAT WE USED IN THE PAST AND REACHED OUT TO 34 MUNICIPALITIES.

ALREADY I'VE HEARD BACK FROM 7 TO 8.

SO THAT'S GOOD. WE'RE WE ARE ON AN UPWARD TREND TO HAVE REALLY GOOD COMPARATORS FOR THIS AND OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS IF COUNCIL HAS ANY.

[00:15:02]

ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCILLOR MORISSETTE. THROUGH YOU, MR. CHAIR. FOR MR. GAGNON, DOES THE PUBLIC HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR A POSSIBLE SEAT ON THIS COMMITTEE, OR HOW DO YOU GET THE PEOPLE? THE. THANK YOU.

THROUGH YOU. YES.

SO TYPICALLY IN THE PAST WE'VE PUT AN ANNOUNCEMENT IN THE PAPER.

SO WE'LL LOOK AT DOING THAT AGAIN AND USING SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AND WE GET PEOPLE TO APPLY.

SO PEOPLE WOULD GIVE US THEIR RESUME, THEIR CREDENTIALS KIND OF THING.

THERE IS NO SET CRITERIA THAT I WAS ABLE TO FIND.

HOWEVER, WE WOULD BE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS SOME SORT OF BUSINESS SAVVY OR PAST MUNICIPAL EXPERIENCE.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE PAST THEY HAVE USED COUNCILLORS THAT HAVE FORMERLY SAT ON COUNCIL, NOT CURRENT COUNCILORS, OBVIOUSLY, AND DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE ADMINISTRATORS OF DIFFERENT FOR PROFIT, NON FOR PROFIT COMMUNITY OR CORPORATIONS IN THE CITY.

BUT THROUGH YOU, MR. CHAIR. FOLLOW UP QUESTION.

THIS IS A ONE TIME.

MEETING OR.

COMMITTEE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SET UP AND THEN IT'S DISSOLVED AFTER THROUGH YOU? THAT'S CORRECT. SO WE MIGHT MEET MULTIPLE TIMES.

THE FIRST MEETING WOULD BE AN INTRODUCTION TO SAY, HERE'S THE COMPARATOR INFORMATION, TAKE THAT BACK WITH YOU, REVIEW IT, AND THEN WE WOULD MEET AGAIN TO COME TO SOME SORT OF CONSENSUS AND THEN BRING FORWARD A RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COUNCILLOR BULL THROUGH YOU, MR. CHAIR. JUST SO EVERYBODY KNOWS, IT'S NOT US ASKING FOR A RAISE.

IT'S A BYLAW THAT'S BEEN PASSED.

IT'S DICTATED TO US THAT THIS IS A PROCESS THAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH.

CORRECT. THROUGH YOU? YES, THAT'S CORRECT. IT IS IN THE BYLAW TO STRIKE A COMMITTEE AFTER EVERY ELECTION TO REVIEW THIS.

MR. GAGNON. I JUST WOULD LIKE TO ADD NOT NOW, OF COURSE WE'RE ON THIS TRACK, BUT MAYBE AFTER THIS EXERCISE IS OVER, WE WOULD ASK THIS COUNCIL, IS THAT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO CONTINUE? THIS WAS CREATED IN 2004.

IT'S BEEN ALMOST 20 YEARS SINCE THAT.

THERE ARE OTHER WAYS OF LOOKING AT COUNCIL REMUNERATION.

YOU KNOW, MAYBE ONCE THE DUST CLEARS FROM THIS, THIS COUNCIL COULD DETERMINE WHETHER THAT BYLAW SHOULD CONTINUE TO EXIST FOR THE NEXT TERM OF COUNCIL.

BUT IT IS ONLY ONCE PER TERM RIGHT AFTER THE ELECTION.

THANK YOU, MR. GAGNON. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SO THIS WILL PASS THIS TIME? CORRECT. AND WHEN WOULD WE START? SO AFTER THIS ROUND OF AN AD HOC COMMITTEE AND WE WOULD REVIEW THAT BYLAW AND MAYBE CHANGE IT, IS THAT THE WAY IT WORKS? BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO IT RIGHT NOW? WELL, I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND YOU DO IT RIGHT NOW.

OBVIOUSLY, THE OPTICS OF THAT WOULDN'T BE IDEAL, YOU KNOW, SO WE LET THE PROCESS RUN ITS COURSE AND THEN AT SOME POINT YOU'LL HAVE, YOU KNOW, THREE AND A HALF YEARS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THAT'S IF THIS COUNCIL THINKS THAT THAT'S IN THE BEST INTEREST TO KEEP THAT BYLAW ON THE BOOKS FOR EVERY TERM OF COUNCIL, OR IF THERE'S ANOTHER FORMAT OR DIRECT STAFF TO LOOK AT OTHER OPPORTUNITIES THAT MIGHT NOT INVOLVE 2 OR 3 MEMBERS OF THE LAY PEOPLE BEING APPOINTED TO A COMMITTEE FOR A SHORT TERM, ADMITTEDLY.

BUT IT'S A LOT OF POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE TO TO REVIEW SALARIES.

IT ADDS SOME CREDIBILITY BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING OUT TO TO TO THE TO THE REGULAR LAY PEOPLE.

AND THERE ARE PROS AND CONS, BUT NOBODY'S ALL I'M SAYING IS NOBODY'S LOOKED AT THAT BYLAW OUTSIDE OF RIGHT WHEN YOU'RE ABOUT TO USE IT, YOU KNOW.

SO IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT WE LOOK AT FOR THE NEXT TERM OF COUNCIL AFTER WE WE SEE HOW THIS COUNCIL FEELS ABOUT THE EXERCISE TO SEE IF THE METHODOLOGY STILL MAKES SENSE OR IF IT NEEDS TO BE AMENDED FOR FUTURE TERMS. OKAY. JUST ONE FOLLOW UP.

HAVE THERE BEEN ISSUES WITH THIS PARTICULAR THING IN THE PAST? I DON'T BELIEVE SO. BUT I WASN'T AROUND FOR, WELL I WAS, AND FOR SOME REASON.

WE NEVER LOOKED AT IT IN 2018, YOU KNOW, SO WE OMITTED THAT AND NEVER NOTICED.

SO THE TERM BEFORE THEN, I'M NOT SURE WE'D HAVE TO DO SOME SOME SOME DEEP DIVES.

I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S ANY ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE PROCESS.

IT'S PERFECTLY FINE AND QUITE BENIGN.

IT'S JUST A QUESTION OF IS THAT IS THAT WHAT NOBODY'S CONSIDERED? WHETHER THIS IS STILL THE BEST WAY TO MANAGE COUNCIL REMUNERATION.

THERE COULD BE OTHER WAYS OF LOOKING AT IT THAT DON'T INVOLVE A COMMITTEE OF LAYPEOPLE AND SUCH.

OKAY. FIRST MRS. CROSKERY. THEN COUNCILLOR MANN.

THANK YOU. THROUGH YOU, YOUR WORSHIP.

I WAS JUST GOING TO ADD THAT PREVIOUS TO 2018, I DID LOOK AT THE CYCLE.

[00:20:03]

THANK YOU, COUNCILLOR MANN.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. THROUGH YOU.

YEAH. I WAS JUST GOING TO ECHO THOSE COMMENTS THAT IT HAS BEEN THE FIRST TWO TERMS OF MY COUNCIL.

THERE WAS A COMMITTEE THAT DID GO OUT SHORTLY AFTER THE ELECTION CYCLE TO REVIEW AND COME BACK.

IT IS, AS HAS BEEN INDICATED BY BYLAW, THAT THIS GOES OUT.

I WOULD PROBABLY AGREE THAT THERE ARE BETTER WAYS TO DO THIS, BUT THIS HASN'T BEEN A CONTENTIOUS PROCESS THROUGH THE YEARS FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN.

SO IT'S REQUIRED WE GO AHEAD.

THERE'S A REPORT THAT COMES BACK.

WE RECEIVE IT. WE CAN CHOOSE TO ACCEPT THE REPORT OR NOT.

BUT AGAIN, YOU KNOW, AS WE'RE DEALING WITH OUR OWN SPECIFIC RENUMERATION, IT IS A TOUCHY SUBJECT TO SOME.

NO QUESTION. THANK YOU.

OKAY. THANK YOU, COUNCILLOR MANN ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. SEEING NONE. WE'LL HAVE A VOTE.

ALL IN FAVOR? NONE ARE OPPOSED AND THAT IS CARRIED.

IT COULD BE WE COULD LOOK AT IT, IF THEY DON'T COME FORWARD, MAYBE WE AT THE DRAWING BOARD FOR A YEAR.

BUT RIGHT NOW WE NEED A GROUP TO COME FORWARD AND START PLANNING NOW.

SO MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE REVISIT IN FOR 2024 WITH A DIFFERENT PLAN.

BUT THIS IS OUR HOPE IS TO BE ABLE TO START SUPPORTING OUR GROUPS TO RUN SOME OF THESE EVENTS AND MAKE THEM FLOURISH AS WELL.

A REPORT FROM THE DIRECTOR OF RECREATION AND CULTURE REGARDING KIWANIS SKATE PARK AND TENNIS COURTS AT THE MARCH 6TH, 2023, MEETING OF THE RECREATION AND CULTURE STANDING COMMITTEE. THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION WAS PASSED THAT THE REPORT FROM THE DIRECTOR OF RECREATION AND CULTURE BE RECEIVED AND THAT STAFF IS DIRECTED TO APPLY FOR A DONATION TO CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS RENOVATION OPTION NUMBER ONE.

I HAVE A MOTION THAT THE REPORT FROM THE DIRECTOR OF RECREATION AND CULTURE BE RECEIVED AND THAT STAFF IS DIRECTED TO APPLY FOR A DONATION TO CONTRIBUTE TO TOWARDS RENOVATION OPTION NUMBER ONE.

WE HAVE A MOVER.

COUNCILLOR BULL SECONDER.

COUNCILLOR FLINTOFF.

MS. KLUKE, GO AHEAD, PLEASE.

THANK YOU. THROUGH YOU, YOUR WORSHIP.

YEAH, WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TACKLE A FEW DIFFERENT PROJECTS WITH.

WITH THIS, AND IT WOULD START WITH A GENEROUS DONATION FROM A LOCAL ORGANIZATION THAT COULD HELP THAT THEY'RE RECOMMENDING TOWARDS YOUTH

[00:30:09]

AND IN ADDITION, THE COURT THAT IT SITS ON ALSO IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS WELL AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

AND THERE'S A DEMAND RIGHT NOW FOR BOTH TO BE USED BUT CAN'T BE USED IN THE CONDITIONS THAT THEY ARE IN.

SO RECOMMENDING THAT WE LOOK AT POTENTIALLY MOVING IT TOWARDS THE KIWANIS BASEBALL FIELD WHERE RIGHT NOW IT SEES THREE HOURS OF RENTALS A WEEK AND USING THAT.

AS AN OPPORTUNITY, A PLACE TO KIND OF BUILD THIS ALL WHEEL PARK, RIGHT? AND ALSO THEN KIND OF ENTER PHASE TWO OF SEARCHING FOR FUNDING TO RESURFACE THE THE COURTS AND MAKE THEM INTO A PICKLEBALL TENNIS BALL TENNIS COURT AREA WHERE MORE ALL AGES CAN ENJOY IT.

AND IT'LL KIND OF BE A FULL CIRCLE.

ALL WHEELS, ALL ALL AGES KIND OF PARK.

AND THAT'S KIND OF WOULD BE THE INTENT FOR THAT PROJECT.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? COUNCILLOR FLINTOFF. I CAN SEE AT FIRST HAND THE STATE OF THAT PARK.

IT'S BASICALLY MY BACKYARD.

AND A FEW YEARS BACK IT WAS USED VERY REGULARLY AND IT HAS FALLEN INTO A PRETTY DISREPAIR.

IT'S A LIABILITY FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN.

IT'S A BIT OF A SHAME THEY THEY DON'T REALLY USE IT AS A SKATEBOARD PARK ANYMORE.

YOU CAN'T PLAY TENNIS ON IT.

I MIGHT HAVE MAYBE 4 OR 5 YEARS AGO AND I WOULD SEE SENIORS GO OVER AND PLAY THE TENNIS, AND THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

SO THIS WOULD BE HELPING THE YOUTH.

AND I THINK IT WOULD BE A WELCOMING THING FOR THE SENIORS MOVING INTO TOWN THAT INQUIRE ABOUT THE PICKLEBALL.

I KNOW WE'RE SHARING IT, THE TENNIS CLUB SHARING A ONE COURT WITH THE PICKLE BALLERS, BUT THEY NEED MORE.

AND THERE IS PICKLEBALL AT THE CURLING RINK, BUT THERE'S STILL A DEMAND FOR MORE AND FOR PUBLIC TO JUST COME AND TRY IT AND WITHOUT HAVING TO GO TO THE CLUB OR SOMEWHERE ELSE.

AND IF YOU CAN MAKE THIS WORK, I WOULD FULLY SUPPORT IT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILLOR FLINTOFF ANY OTHER COMMENTS? COUNCILLOR BULL. THROUGH YOU, MR. CHAIR. MORE OF A COMMENT THAT THE THE SKATEBOARD PARK IS EVERYBODY KNOWS IS A MEMORIAL PARK NAMED AFTER A YOUNG PERSON FROM ELLIOT LAKE THAT PASSED AWAY.

AND THE CONDITION OF THAT PARK.

AND I'M NOT BLAMING ANYBODY.

I'M JUST SAYING THAT THE CONDITION OF A MEMORIAL PARK IN THIS TOWN IS HORRIBLE.

WE SHOULD BE ASHAMED THAT WE LET IT GET IN THAT KIND OF CONDITION.

SO I THINK I WOULD APPROVE OR SUPPORT DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND FIXING IT UP FOR SURE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILLOR BULL.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? WELL, I THINK THIS IS A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY.

IT'S A VERY, VERY HEALTHY DONATION THAT WE CAN GET, ESPECIALLY FROM A LOCAL ORGANIZATION.

WE SHOULD BE VERY THANKFUL THAT WE HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY.

I AGREE.

I THINK THE PICKLEBALL THE OPTION ONE IS PROBABLY OUR BEST WAY MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS.

I KNOW THAT WE DISCUSSED IN COMMITTEE A FEW OTHER OPTIONS, BUT AFTER REVIEWING IT AGAIN, I WOULD PASS NUMBER ONE AS WELL.

SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY, LET'S HAVE A VOTE.

ALL IN FAVOR? OKAY. NONE ARE OPPOSED AND THAT IS CARRIED.
