[1. CALL TO ORDER]
WELCOME TO THE SPECIAL MEETING.SO NO CONFLICT, DECLARATION OR CONFLICTS OF INTEREST? ONCE, TWICE, THREE TIMES.
THERE'S NO PUBLIC INPUT SESSION.
THERE'S NO PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS.
[6. REPORTS]
ITEM 6.1 REPORTS.IT'LL BE OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION WITH FACILITATOR TIM DOBBIE CONSULTING.
MR. DOBBIE, IT'S YOURS TO START.
THANK YOU, MR. ACTING MAYOR. I THINK I'VE BEEN ACTING.
THIS IS OUR THIRD MEETING OF OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING TEAM.
AND SO WE ARE WE ARE WELL INTO THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING OUR STRATEGIC PLAN.
WE STARTED IN, IN IN A SESSION THAT WE USED AS A WORKSHOP WHERE TO GIVE THE NEW MEMBERS OF COUNCIL AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT STRATEGIC PLANNING THINGS IN A PROCESS WHERE NO ONE WAS LOOKING OVER THEIR SHOULDER INITIALLY.
BUT IT IS THIS IS VERY MUCH WILL BE A DOCUMENT THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO YOU, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL AND YOUR FIRST TERM AS MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.
IT IS A DOCUMENT THAT IS COMPLETELY OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
AND IN FACT, ON OUR AGENDA LATER THIS AFTERNOON, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT GETTING OUT TO THE PUBLIC AND AND HAVING THEM INPUT ONTO THE STRATEGIC ACTIONS THAT THE STRATEGIC PLANNING TEAM HAVE DEVELOPED.
OUR TWO MEETINGS BEFORE THIS HAVE BEEN I THOUGHT THEY WERE QUITE GOOD.
I PERSONALLY REALLY ENJOYED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE NEW COUNCIL AND THE SENIOR STAFF.
I THINK IT'S BEEN VERY COOPERATIVE AND ACTIVE.
AND SO WE'RE MOVING ALONG WELL IN MY OPINION, ON DEVELOPMENT OF A DRAFT.
AND I UNDERLINE THE WORD DRAFT STRATEGIC STRATEGIC PLAN.
SO TODAY WE ARE ON MEETING NUMBER THREE.
AND THIS MEETING IS, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, TELEVISED AND THE WE WILL BE HAVING A FOURTH MEETING, BUT THAT ONE WILL BE ALSO TELEVISED.
WE WENT THROUGH THE FIRST MEETING.
WE WENT THROUGH STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS.
SO GIVE YOU A CHANCE AS MEMBERS OF COUNCIL TO SAY WHAT YOU THINK ELLIOT LAKE STRENGTHS ARE.
THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, WEAKNESSES AND AND AND THREATS AND AND THAT'S QUITE A NORMAL WAY TO START THE DEVELOPMENT OF A STRATEGIC PLAN. LAST MEETING WE AND WE BROUGHT BACK THE SHEETS OF PAPER THAT LORIANNE RECORDED FOR US AND WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT.
SO IF WE WANTED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, WHAT WOULD WE DO? AND, AND AND WE TOOK A LOT OF INFORMATION ON THE SHEETS.
AND I HAD AGREED AT THE LAST MEETING THAT LORIANNE AND I WOULD ATTEMPT TO PUT WORDING TO ACTIONS THAT CAME OUT OF THAT MEETING.
AND WHAT I WHAT THE MAIN JOB FOR US TONIGHT IS TO GO THROUGH THESE ACTIONS AND SEE WHETHER THE WORDING THAT THE TWO OF US HAVE COME UP WITH, WHETHER IT MEETS YOUR REQUIREMENTS FOR THAT PARTICULAR ISSUE OR WHETHER YOU WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST AMENDMENTS TO IT TO MAKE IT MORE CLEAR THAT AND THIS IS WHEN I ALWAYS REMIND YOU THAT THIS IS COUNCIL'S STRATEGIC PLAN.
IT IS NOT THE CONSULTANTS, NOR IS IT THE STAFFS.
AND THEN WHEN IT'S FINALLY APPROVED, IT BECOMES COUNCIL'S STRATEGIC PLAN IS APPROVED BY COUNCIL, BUT ALSO WITH INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY. SO WHAT I'M GOING TO DO TONIGHT IS TO GO THROUGH ONE BY ONE THE ACTIONS THAT WE'VE WRITTEN OUT.
[00:05:09]
SO THAT'S ITEM NUMBER TWO ON YOUR AGENDA, AND THE ACTIONS WILL SHOW UP ON THE SCREEN AND MY UNDERSTANDING SHOW UP IF PEOPLE ARE WATCHING AT HOME. AND SO WE WILL BE TAKING JUST HAVING DISCUSSION ON YOUR VIEWS ON THE WORDING AND ARE THEY APPROPRIATE.AND THEN ONCE WE GET THROUGH THAT, WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THE PUBLIC INPUT PLAN WILL BE, WHAT THE DATES MIGHT BE, AND THEN TALK ABOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.
SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE PLAN FOR TONIGHT.
WE YOU WILL NOTE THAT IN THE ACTIONS THAT WE'VE WRITTEN UP.
SOME OF THEM ARE ONE SENTENCE LONG, BUT OTHERS ARE ARE LONGER THAN THAT.
THE LENGTH OF IT DOESN'T MATTER, BUT THE WORDS DO.
AND SO WHAT I'D LIKE YOU TO DO AS MEMBERS OF THE TEAM AND I'D LIKE STAFF, THE STAFF WHO ARE NORMALLY INVOLVED WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN, IF THEY'VE GOT ANY CONCERNS ABOUT OUR WORDING, IT HAS TO WORK FOR ELLIOT LAKE, IT HAS TO WORK.
IT HAS TO BE WHAT YOU WANT IN THE WORDING.
SO WE ARE GOING TO HAVE ONE ACTION ON.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ONE ACTION AT A TIME AND REVIEW THEM SO YOU HAVE THEM ATTACHED TO YOUR AGENDA.
OR YOU CAN SIMPLY LOOK AT THE SCREENS AS WE GO THROUGH THEM.
AND THEN AND THEN ONE MORE MEETING OF THIS GROUP AND THEN WE'LL BE READY TO GO OUT TO THE PUBLIC.
SO I THINK WE CAN, UNLESS THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE AGENDA TONIGHT OR WHAT WE'RE DOING TONIGHT, I'D SUGGEST WE GET STARTED BY GOING TO THE THE FIRST ACTION.
SO CAN I SEE IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS BY MEMBERS OF COUNCIL OR STAFF, OR ARE WE READY TO GET INTO A REVIEW OF THE WORDING FOR THESE ACTIONS? OKAY, SO NOW I JUST WANTED TO DO MAKE A POINT.
SO THIS IS THE YOU RECALL THAT THIS IS THE PAGE THAT THAT WE WE PUT UP FOR OUR FIRST ACTION.
SO THIS HAD TO DO WITH TOURISM POTENTIAL AND ASSETS.
BUT SO THE FIRST ACTION THAT I WANT TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION IS ONE THAT WE IDENTIFIED AS A STRENGTH THE LAST WEEK. AND, AND THIS WAS ESTABLISHING A COMPREHENSIVE MARKETING PLAN FOR THIS MUNICIPALITY TO MARKET THE DIVERSE STRENGTHS IN PROMOTING ELLIOT LAKE.
SO, SO THE GROUP THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS A THIS THIS PLAN FOR COMPREHENSIVE MARKETING SHOULD TOUCH EVERY BASE THAT EXISTS IN THE IN THE COMMUNITY.
SO IT'S A FAIRLY SIMPLE WORDING OF THE ACTION.
AND SO I WOULD SIMPLY ASK, DOES THAT GIVE YOU.
DOES THAT WORDING WORK FOR YOU OR IS THERE MORE DETAIL THAT NEEDS TO BE GOING INTO THAT? SO WE'RE JUST ON THE NUMBER ONE.
IF THAT WORKS FOR YOU, WE'LL JUST MOVE ON.
SO, UM, ANY COMMENTS, THEN? OKAY, LET'S GO TO THE SECOND ONE.
AND THIS HAD TO DO WITH TRANSIT.
AND YOU WILL REMEMBER THAT LIKE PRETTY WELL.
EVERY MUNICIPALITY IN ONTARIO TRANSIT SYSTEMS OPERATE IN A DEFICIT, AND YOURS DOES.
[00:10:06]
BUT THERE HAD BEEN A RECENT TRANSIT STUDY.AND SO THIS THIS ACTION READ TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE TRANSIT STUDY TO SET THE FUTURE DIRECTION FOR THE TRANSIT SYSTEM IN ELLIOT LAKE EMPHASIS SHOULD BE PLACED ON A TRANSIT SYSTEM THAT IS USER FRIENDLY AND HAS TRANSIT FARE SIMILAR TO OTHER FARES IN NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES. AND THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THE IDEA OF INCREASING TRANSIT RATES, NOT NOT BUT NOT BEYOND WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING, BUT TRY AND WATCH THE OPERATION OF THE TRANSIT INDUSTRY.
MOST MUNICIPALITIES LOOK AT KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS.
ONE OF THE KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS IN TRANSIT IS YOUR REVENUE TO COST RATIO.
THEY ARE ALWAYS LESS THAN ONE.
SO IT'S KIND OF A HARD LOOK AT THE TRANSIT SERVICE.
SO THIS IS BASICALLY HAVING AN ACTION THAT SAYS THIS COUNCIL IS GOING TO LOOK HARD AT THE TRANSIT SYSTEM, BOTH BOTH THE LEVEL OF SERVICE, BUT ALSO THE REVENUE TO COST RATIO AND OTHER OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS, AND THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN SOMETIME OVER THE NEXT THREE AND A HALF YEARS.
SO DOES THAT REPRESENT WHAT YOU THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DO WITH THE TRANSIT SYSTEM IN ELLIOT LAKE? COUNCILLOR FLINTOFF.
THROUGH YOU TO MR. DOBBIE. I JUST ON THE TRANSIT STUDY.
I DON'T THINK WE'VE DONE IT YET, THOUGH I THINK THAT'S AN UPCOMING THING THAT MR. DOBBIE IS TRYING TO GET BOOKED.
IS THAT RIGHT? THROUGH YOU, YOUR WORSHIP? YES, THAT'S CORRECT.
SO IT'S PROBABLY APPROPRIATE, APPROPRIATE BY THE TIME WE PUBLISH THIS.
OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE ABOUT THAT.
IT REALLY DOES, THOUGH, ALLOW YOU TO LOOK AT EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR TRANSIT SYSTEM AND NOT JUST THE REQUEST FOR SUNDAY SERVICE, BUT WHERE YOU ARE ON ON REVENUES AND THAT KIND OF THING.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT MOST MUNICIPALITIES WOULD DO EVERY 5 TO 10 YEARS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO THIS ONE THIS ONE WAS AN INTERESTING DISCUSSION.
I'M GOING TO READ IT. FIRST, DEVELOP AND PROMOTE A NEW PROGRAM FOR ELLIOT LAKE TO RECONNECT PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN BORN AND RAISED IN OUR COMMUNITY, TO RETURN HOME AND TO ENJOY WORKING FROM HOME OR RETIREMENT.
SO THIS IS GOING OUT AND TRYING TO BRING BACK TO YOUR COMMUNITY THE PEOPLE WHO WERE BORN HERE AND LIKE YOU, THE THE SIX OF YOU, YOU FOLLOW.
YOU YOU ARE YOU HAVE SOME OF YOU HAVE MOVED AWAY AND COME BACK.
AND IT'S REALLY TRYING TO THIS IS PART OF THAT COMMUNITY GROWTH THAT WE SPOKE ABOUT BUT IT'S PART OF THAT COMMUNITY GROWTH THAT IS A DIFFERENT APPROACH THAN SIMPLY RETIREMENT.
AND THERE ARE A LOT OF THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS, SO HAPPY TO TAKE ANY COMMENTS THAT YOU HAVE. IS THIS IS DOES THIS DESCRIBE WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT? I'LL START.
THE WORDING SEEMS A LITTLE BIT OFF FROM WHAT WE WERE DISCUSSING.
I THINK WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT IT, IT WAS A PROGRAM THAT WOULD INCLUDE POTENTIALLY PEOPLE THAT ARE BORN IN ELLIOT LAKE AND WANT TO COME HOME. BUT I'M PRETTY SURE WE WANTED THIS.
YOU KNOW, WE WERE DISCUSSING WORKING FROM HOME OR REMOTE WORKING AND THAT ELLIOT LAKE COULD BECOME A NICHE PLACE FOR THAT KIND OF THING TO WORK TOWARDS HAVING, YOU KNOW, HOUSING OR PROGRAMS FOR THAT SO PEOPLE COULD WORK FROM
[00:15:03]
HERE DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE THAT THEY'RE FROM ELLIOT LAKE AND OBVIOUSLY RETIREMENT IS STILL WIDE OPEN FOR WHOEVER CAN COME.THAT'S WHAT I THINK. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? COUNCILLOR MORRISSETTE. I DON'T.
MY QUESTION IS MORE ABOUT A NEW PROGRAM.
IT'S TO ME THAT'S A LITTLE BIT VAGUE AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE COULD USE SOMETHING ELSE IN THERE.
IT'S NOT A NEW PROGRAM, PER SE.
TO ME, THE WORDING PROGRAM OR A NEW PROGRAM MEANS MONEY.
I GOT YOU. THERE'S A COST TO THAT.
AND THAT'S WHERE I'M QUESTION.
OKAY. PERHAPS WE COULD USE THE WORD ENHANCE.
DEVELOP AND ENHANCE THE PROGRAM FOR ELLIOT LAKE TO RECONNECT PEOPLE WHO NOT ONLY BEEN BORN AND RAISED HERE, BUT ARE LOOKING FOR A GREAT PLACE TO RETIRE OR CONTINUE WORKING.
UM, MR. ANTUNES. THANK YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU.
THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY TIED TO A WORD LIKE PROGRAM, BUT THERE'S A BIT OF OVERLAP BETWEEN ITEM THREE AND ITEM SIX, WHERE WE CAN PERHAPS CONSOLIDATE THE TWO, WHERE WE'RE ATTRACTING FOLKS THAT ARE RETURNING TO ELLIOT LAKE AS WELL AS NEW RESIDENTS AND TYING IN IN ITEM SIX FOR PROMOTING ITS NATURAL BEAUTY AND LIFESTYLE AND FOCUSED ON QUALITY OF LIFE AS OPPOSED TO JUST OUTDOOR ACTIVITY BECAUSE THAT BECOMES FAIRLY PIGEONHOLED INTO TO A WAY TO ATTRACT PEOPLE BECAUSE ELLIOT LAKE PROVIDES A GREAT QUALITY OF LIFE FROM BOTH OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES AS WELL AS INDOOR AND ALL ALL THE OTHER ITEMS THAT THAT DRAW PEOPLE TO ELLIOT LAKE.
BUT I THINK THAT WORKING REMOTE RETIREMENT, WORKING, WORKING REMOTE AND RETIREMENT, I THINK THERE'S MAYBE A WAY TO CONSOLIDATE THAT WORKING REMOTE BECAUSE FOR MANY PEOPLE AROUND NORTH AMERICA, WORKING REMOTE IS NOW JUST ANOTHER FORM OF WORKING.
SO I THINK MAYBE THERE'S A WAY TO MASSAGE THAT WORD WORDING INTO.
DRAWING PEOPLE TO WORK EITHER REMOTELY OR IN PERSON TO ELLIOT LAKE MIGHT BE A WAY TO GO.
THANK YOU YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU.
SIMILAR TO MR. ANTUNE'S POINT ABOUT THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN 3 AND 6, I VIEWED 1 AND 3 AS A SIMILARITY AS WELL IS THAT 3 WOULD BE A SUBSET OF, AGAIN, THE OVERALL MARKETING PLAN FOR THE COMMUNITY.
THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? NOPE. OKAY.
AND NUMBER 4 IS THE COUNCIL CAN DEVELOP A CORPORATE CULTURE WHERE BOTH GROUPS ARE MOTIVATED AND PRODUCTIVE AND THE CITY IS SEEN AS AN EMPLOYER OF CHOICE.
NOW, THIS ONE WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT A NUMBER OF ISSUES RELATED TO EMPLOYMENT AND JUST WANTING TO IMPROVE, TALKED ABOUT THE HIRING OF PROFESSIONALS AND THAT KIND OF THING.
AND THIS ONE WOULD EVENTUALLY END UP IN THE GOVERNANCE SECTION OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN.
BUT IT BASICALLY THIS IS TO ME IS A VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE BECAUSE IT IT'S NO COINCIDENCE THAT THE MUNICIPALITIES THAT ARE RUN WELL ARE THOSE THAT HAVE A STAFF COUNCIL RELATIONSHIP THAT'S THAT'S WORKING WELL.
AND YOURS CURRENTLY IS THE WAY WE'VE BEEN DEVELOPING THE PLAN.
SO IT'S JUST SOMETHING TO CONTINUE AND MAKE PERMANENT IN THE ORGANIZATION.
[00:20:02]
ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS.DO YOU WANT ANY WORDING LIKE ATTRACT AND RETAIN BECAUSE THAT CAN BE SOME OF OUR DIFFICULTIES FACING EMPLOYMENT AT THE CITY. NO.
THINK YOU LIKE IT? LIKE THE WAY IT IS? YEAH. OKAY.
RIGHT MAINTAIN, IMPROVE, STRENGTHEN AND NURTURE ONGOING RELATIONSHIP WITH INDIGENOUS GROUPS.
AND THIS IS ONE THING THAT I'VE JUST USED THE WORDS THAT YOU USED AT THEIR AT OUR LAST MEETING.
[INAUDIBLE] LAURIE WAS JUST POINTING OUT.
I THINK WE WANTED TO USE THE ACTUAL NAME OF THE FIRST NATIONS GROUP.
THERE'S MISSISSAUGA FIRST NATION, SERPENT RIVER FIRST NATION.
I'VE BEEN THINKING. MAYBE WE COULD INCLUDE EVEN OUR COMMUNITY, OUR NEIGHBOR COMMUNITIES AS WELL.
BUT I THINK WE HAD THIS BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A TASK FORCE SET UP.
BUT WE COULD HAVE ANOTHER ONE TO INCLUDE OUR NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES ALL ALONG THE NORTH SHORE.
SO WOULD WOULD THE GROUP BE WITH RESPECT TO THIS IF WE IF WE CAREFULLY GOT THE CORRECT NAMES FOR THE INDIGENOUS GROUPS, BUT THEN ALSO THE NORTH SHORE COMMUNITIES? BECAUSE I THINK THAT RELATES TO ANOTHER THING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, WHICH IS SHARED SERVICES AND AND THOSE TWO CAN KIND OF JOINT I WOULDN'T PUT THEM TOGETHER, BUT THEY INVOLVED THE SAME GROUP OF COMMUNITIES ON THE NORTH SHORE FOR THE SERVICE SHARING OF SERVICES SO WE CAN AMEND THOSE IF YOU WISH TO INCLUDE THE SPECIFIC GROUPS OF INDIGENOUS GROUPS AND THEN ALSO THE NORTH SHORE AND A RELATIONSHIP WITH THAT.
YEAH, AND IT'S TWO POINTS TOWARDS OUR STRATEGY GOING FORWARD.
YEAH. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? COUNCILLOR MORRISSETTE WONDER IF WE SHOULD MENTION THE FEDERAL AND PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTS.
ALSO, IF THERE IS A WAY THAT WE COULD INCLUDE THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE AS IMPORTANT AS THE OTHER PEOPLE IN MY OPINION ANYWAYS.
YEP. I MEAN, THAT'S A GOOD POINT TOO.
GRANTS AND RELATIONS PROGRAMS. I'M NOT SURE HOW WE'D WORD THAT IN HERE, THOUGH.
COUNCILLOR MANN. THANK YOU YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU.
I THINK. I THINK THE POINT IS VALID.
I JUST I'D RATHER KEEP THE THE COMMENTS ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR FIRST NATIONS PARTNERS.
BUT THOSE ARE OTHER BULLETS THAT YOU CAN DO.
[00:25:02]
WE CAN DO THAT, MR. MAYOR. AND AND I DO.APPRECIATE THAT AND WE'LL DO THAT.
SO WE NEED TO PUT ALL OF THOSE TWO THINGS TOGETHER AND WE WILL DO THAT.
OKAY. ITEM SEVEN IS SO DURING OUR BOTH OF OUR MEETINGS OF THIS GROUP, WE ARE YOU HAD GOOD NEWS THAT YOU HAD ATTRACTED DOCTORS TO THE HOSPITAL, BUT WE THOUGHT THERE STILL SHOULD BE SOMETHING OF SOME STATEMENT OF SUPPORT BY THE MUNICIPALITY FOR THE HOSPITAL.
SO THIS ONE LED US TO LEND SUPPORT TO OUR FULL SERVICE HOSPITAL, ENSURE THAT ELLIOT LAKE REMAINS FULLY STAFFED WITH THE APPROPRIATE HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS TO SERVE OUR GROWING COMMUNITY.
YEAH, I THINK WE'RE ALL IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT.
SO IN ELLIOT LAKE WE HAVE A HOSPITAL.
WE ALSO HAVE A FAMILY HEALTH TEAM.
AND THE DOCTORS THAT WE RECRUIT TYPICALLY WORK IN EITHER ONE OR BOTH.
SO I WOULDN'T WANT TO EXCLUDE ANY ORGANIZATIONS FROM ANY GIVEN POINT.
SO WE HAVE THE HOSPITAL, THE FAMILY HEALTH TEAM.
ANYTHING ELSE? DO WE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD TO THIS PARTICULAR TOPIC OF STRENGTHS THAT HAVE MAYBE CROSSED YOUR MIND? DO WE WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT CITY SERVICES AND MAINTAINING AND TRYING TO IMPROVE THEM AS PART OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN? COUNCILLOR FLINTOFF.
THANK YOU YOUR WORSHIP YEAH, I AGREE WITH THAT BECAUSE THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
THAT WAS ONE OF I THINK WE KNOW THE SITUATION OF A LOT OF OUR FACILITIES HERE AND WE DO HAVE TO IMPROVE THEM AND UPGRADE THEM AND I THINK WE SHOULD PUT IT SOMEWHERE IN THIS STRATEGIC PLAN FOR SURE.
EXACTLY. DID HE GET THAT? I THINK THE IDEA OF US CERTAINLY SERVICE DELIVERY REVIEW IS AN IMPORTANT TOPIC IN ONTARIO MUNICIPALITIES AND IT'S AN ONGOING REVIEW THAT MOST MUNICIPALITIES TAKE ON.
SO I THINK THIS IS A GOOD LOCATION TO PUT IT.
AND SO WE WILL ADD THAT TO THIS.
[00:30:06]
FINANCES, AND OUR RESERVE AND.SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE SHOULD PUT ANYTHING IN THERE.
USUALLY THE BEST WORDS ARE IN THE MOST FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE WAY POSSIBLE.
CAN I SUGGEST, MR. MAYOR, THAT WE WE MAKE A POINT OF NOTING HERE THAT WE NEED SOMETHING IN FINANCIAL THAT COVERING THE FINANCIAL ISSUE, BUT THERE ARE TWO COMING UP.
ONE TO DO WITH CAPITAL PROJECTS AND ANOTHER ONE.
SO PERHAPS LEAVE IT AND I'LL BRING IT UP AT THE END OF THE MEETING BECAUSE WE'LL WANT TO PUT THAT THAT WHOLE FINANCIAL THING TOGETHER AS PERHAPS ONE PIECE. SO, SURE, NO PROBLEM.
THIS IS JUST A WORKING PLAN AS WE GO ALONG ANYWAY.
SO THE NEXT ONE AND THIS IS ONE IN OUR TWO PREVIOUS MEETINGS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT OPPORTUNITIES DEVELOP A STRATEGY TO CONSIDERABLY IMPROVE THE AMOUNT OF ACTIVITY AT THE AIRPORT, REVIEW THE LAST FEASIBILITY STUDY OF THE AIRPORT CARRIED OUT IN 2012.
CONSIDER HOW THE AIRPORT CAN BE USED MORE EFFECTIVELY.
CONSIDER UPDATING THE FEASIBILITY STUDY WITH RESPECT TO ALL ASPECTS OF THE AIRPORT OPERATION.
I CAN I DO REMEMBER THAT IN THE 2015 STRATEGIC PLAN THERE WAS A SIMILAR ACTION ON THE AIRPORT, AND I KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALL KEENLY INTERESTED IN THIS AND I BELIEVE WE DO HAVE CAPITAL MONEY THAT WE GOT FROM A GRANT. I THINK THAT TO DO WITH THE AIRPORT.
I JUST WAS TRYING TO PUT MORE ON THE BONES OF THIS ONE BECAUSE IT'S IT'S THIS IS A CHALLENGING ISSUE FOR YOUR COMMUNITY. IF IT WAS EASY, I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BEFORE.
SO WE'RE REALLY GOING TO HAVE TO REACH FORWARD AND USE SOME PARTICULARLY, I THINK, DETAILED ANALYSIS TO SEE IF THERE'S A WAY THAT WE CAN DO SOMETHING WITH THE AIRPORT.
IT'S A IT'S A GREAT FACILITY, BUT IT'S SURE UNDERUSED.
SO. ANYWAY, THAT'S WHAT THIS ONE'S ALL ABOUT.
ANY COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? OKAY.
AND THE NEXT ONE, WE TALK ABOUT WI-FI.
SO WE DIDN'T REALLY SEE IT AS SOMETHING THAT THE MUNICIPALITY NEEDED TO DO.
SO WE DESCRIBED IT AS ACTIVELY PURSUE IMPROVED INTERNET SERVICES FOR ELLIOT LAKE BY ENCOURAGING PRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENT AND NEW FACILITIES IN THE COMMUNITY.
THESE COMPANIES WILL BE TREATED ON A PRIORITY BASIS IN ELLIOT LAKE.
SO THIS IS TALKS ABOUT BEING READY, WILLING AND ABLE TO TO WORK WITH PRIVATE SECTOR SUPPLIERS OF THIS SERVICE, BUT NOT GET INTO ACTUALLY PAYING FOR THIS KIND OF SERVICE.
GIVEN THAT THERE ARE IMPROVEMENTS BEING MADE NOW BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR.
THANK YOU YOUR WORSHIP. JUST SOME WORDING, JUST SOME NOTES AS I WENT THROUGH, PERHAPS MASSAGING THE WORD FACILITIES INTO INFRASTRUCTURE BECAUSE IT'S NOT REALLY A FACILITY THAT THEY ARE NECESSARILY CONSTRUCTING, BUT ACTIVELY PURSUE IMPROVED INTERNET SERVICES FOR ELLIOT LAKE BY ENCOURAGING PRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENT OF NEW INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE
[00:35:06]
COMMUNITY. AND PERHAPS THESE COMPANIES WILL BE TREATED AS OPPOSED TO BE TREATED AS ON A PRIORITY BASIS.COMPANIES WILL BE OFFERED SUPPORT AND OR SUPPORT BY THE MUNICIPALITY IN INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT VERSUS BEING TREATED ON A PRIORITY BASIS AS OPPOSED TO OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE COMPANIES THAT COME TO TOWN.
I THINK THE DISCUSSION MIGHT HAVE CIRCLED AROUND MAKING SURE THAT PUBLIC WORKS AND STAFF AND BUILDING DEPARTMENTS ARE THERE, OFFERING SUPPORT AS THEY WORK THROUGH AS OPPOSED TO PRIORITIZING THEM NECESSARILY OVER ANYTHING ELSE, BUT CERTAINLY DEFER TO COUNCIL'S OPINION ON THAT.
YEAH, I AGREE WITH MR. ANTUNES. THE WORDING, THE WORDING THAT YOU JUST ADDED, IT ACTUALLY MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENCE BECAUSE IT'S DEFINITELY INFRASTRUCTURE.
IT'S NOT THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY BUILDING A FACILITY.
GOOD WORK. THE WORD SUPPORT SOMETIMES IS INCLUDED WITH FINANCIAL SUPPORT.
SO I'M NOT SURE HOW YOU'D REWORD THAT IF YOU EVEN NEED TO.
MR. MAYOR, DOES COUNCIL AGREE THAT THERE ISN'T A NEED FOR ELLIOT LAKE TO PROVIDE LIKE FUNDING FOR IT? HOW DO YOU KNOW? I MEAN, THAT'S A SITUATIONAL THING.
COUNCILLOR, MR. GOULDING. IT'S OUR ROLE TO FACILITATE DEVELOPMENT.
RIGHT. RATHER THAN SUPPORT, WE WOULD FACILITATE DEVELOPMENT OF THAT INFRASTRUCTURE.
WELL, I MEAN, AS WE SPEAK, I THINK WE'RE GETTING WE'RE GETTING FIBER OPTIC PUT IN TOWN RIGHT NOW HE CAN GO IN CERTAIN SUBDIVISIONS AND YOU SEE THE FLAGS IN THE GROUND AND EVERYTHING.
RIGHT. MR. GOULDING OR AM I? THAT'S CORRECT. THROUGH YOU YOUR WORSHIP, YES.
YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU. JUST A NOTE TYING INTO COUNCILLOR MORRISSETTE COMMENT AND IT'S BECOMING VERY MUCH MORE OBVIOUS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE SEEING IN THE SCALE THAT ELLIOT LAKE REQUIRES A LOT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT IS, AGAIN, SUPPORT WITHOUT THE FINANCIAL TIE OF IT.
THAT'S USUALLY DEMAND BASED BY THE CARRIERS, BE IT ROGERS BELL OR THE TWO MAJOR CARRIERS IN THE AREA, AND TO THE LEVEL OF INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR WIRELESS OR EXCUSE ME, INTERNET CONNECTIVITY THAT USUALLY AS WELL AS MARKET DRIVEN BY CARRIERS OR SERVICE PROVIDERS.
SO AGAIN, THE SUPPORT THAT MR. GOULDING TALKED ABOUT IS SUPPORT OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH I THINK MAKES PERFECT SENSE.
BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO FORGET COUNCILLOR MORRISSETTE COMMENT ABOUT WIRELESS, AND I THINK THAT MIGHT BE A BIT OF A CHALLENGE FOR US IS TRYING TO TAIL WAGGING THE DOG WHEN IT COMES TO THE WIRELESS CARRIERS, WHICH MIGHT SERVE AS A BIT OF AN ISSUE.
THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? NOPE. OKAY. AND THE NEXT ONE.
ELLIOT LAKE WILL BE STRATEGIC IN THEIR APPROACH TO.
MAKING APPLICATIONS FOR FINANCIAL GRANTS.
WE WILL APPLY FOR GRANTS RELATED TO PROJECTS THAT WE SEE AS A PRIORITY FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
THIS WILL ALLOW US TO FOCUS OUR WORK ON CAPITAL PROJECTS AND ENSURE THAT IF WE'RE AWARDED A GRANT, WE HAVE OUR OWN FINANCIAL SHARE OF THE PROJECT AVAILABLE TO FACILITATE THE COMPLETION OF THE WORK.
SO THIS DISCUSSION WAS REALLY ABOUT THAT THERE ARE THERE ARE GRANTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE.
[00:40:01]
BUT YOU NEED OUR FEELING THAT THE WORKSHOP TABLE WAS THAT YOU NEED TO FOCUS THE GRANTS ON WHAT YOUR PRIORITIES ARE.AND OUR OUR DISCUSSION IN THE PREVIOUS MEETINGS WERE THAT WE NEEDED TO BE STRATEGIC.
SO SO THIS, THIS ACTION ALIGNED WITH ACTIONS COMING UP ON THE CAPITAL PROJECTS, SETTING THE PRIORITIES AND ALL THAT KIND OF THING WILL EVENTUALLY END UP IN THE STRATEGIC PLANNING TOGETHER AND PROBABLY WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH, AGAIN, COMMUNITY GROWTH.
BUT IT'S A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT APPROACH TO APPLYING FOR GRANTS.
ANYWAY, THAT'S WHERE THIS DISCUSSION CAME FROM.
ANY COMMENTS? YEAH, I THINK THE WORDING IS PROPER.
IT'S WHAT OUR PLANS ARE NOT JUST GOING TO CHASE EVERY GRANT.
IT'S GOT TO BE FITTING INTO WHAT WE FEEL THAT WE NEED THE MOST AND WHAT WE CAN AFFORD.
EVERYBODY AGREE? OKAY. THANKS. ON THIS ONE, I, I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO WRITE THIS OUT.
SO I'M GOING TO ASK THE STAFF TO HELP ME ON THIS ONE.
SO I'LL BRING, I'LL BRING THIS BACK COMPLETED FOR THE NEXT MEETING.
SO THE CITY HAS A LONG HISTORY OF HAVING PARTNERSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY AND CORPORATE GROUPS OF LATE.
BHPS HAD A REALLY ENGAGED COMMUNITY LIAISON THAT'S BEEN WORKING WITH THE CITY, BUT THAT'S NOT TO NEGATE THE THE IMPACT OF OTHER CORPORATE AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS THAT THE CITY HAS ON AN ONGOING BASIS AND HAS HAD FOR A LONG TIME.
SO THOSE STRATEGIC ALLIANCES BETWEEN CORPORATE PARTNERS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS, I THINK THAT'S WHAT THIS POINT WAS ORIGINALLY ABOUT.
WELL, I THINK THERE'S MORE TO IT BHPS GOING TO BE HERE FOR AS LONG AS WE HAVE TAILINGS, WHETHER IT'S A FORM OF BHP OR NOT, THE TAILINGS ARE GOING TO BE HERE FOREVER. SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE THE GUARDIANS.
AND IF WE'RE HERE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO SUPPORT THAT FOR SURE.
THE CITY. CITY'S GOT TO WORK HAND IN HAND WITH ALL GROUPS.
BUT THIS IS A LONG, LONG TERM, IMPORTANT ONE.
SO WE'LL WORK TOGETHER WITH STAFF AND GET SOME WORDING ON THIS FOR THE NEXT MEETING.
OKAY. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? NOPE.
OKAY. THE NEXT ONE SPEAKS TO SHARED SERVICES AND ELLIOT LAKE HAS ACTUALLY USED THAT ARRANGEMENT.
I THINK THERE IS A REAL OPPORTUNITIES THERE IN ALMOST EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO TO CONSIDER THIS.
MANY MUNICIPALITIES ARE ENGAGING IN THE USE OF SHARED SERVICES AT THE PRESENT TIME.
THIS IS USED EXTENSIVELY IN AREAS SUCH AS BUILDING OFFICIALS, BYLAW ENFORCEMENT AND SHARED TENDERS AMONG A FEW OF THE THINGS IT IS REALLY BECOMING WITH WITH KIND OF THE GENERATION THAT THAT IS CURRENTLY RETIRING.
THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING BACK TO WORK FOR MUNICIPALITIES, BUT DOING SO WORKING FOR TWO MUNICIPALITIES ONE DAY EACH AND MUNICIPALITIES NOT HAVING TO HAVE FOR PERHAPS A FULL TIME CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL.
[00:45:09]
DELIVER SERVICES.THERE CAN THERE CAN BE REALLY TRUE COST SAVINGS HERE.
SO I THINK THIS ONE IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WILL FIND YOUR STAFF BRINGING IT BACK TO YOU TIME AND TIME AGAIN IN THE NEXT THE REST OF THIS TERM AND PROBABLY THE FUTURE TERMS OF COUNCIL.
THANK YOU. YOUR WORSHIP WOULD.
SO WOULD THAT NOT BE SORT OF TIED IN WITH UNDER THE STRENGTHS LIKE WITH THE COUNCILLOR MANN HAD MENTIONED, WE'D LIKE THE INDIGENOUS TO BE SEPARATE WITH THE FACT OF BUILDING OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE COMMUNITIES LIKE SO WOULD THAT BE TIED OVER TO THIS OR WOULD THAT GO HAND IN HAND WITH BECAUSE I AGREE WITH THE SHARED SERVICES, BUT I THINK WE THE BETTER RELATIONSHIP IS WITH THESE COMMUNITIES.
SO THE THE ANSWER IS YES, I THINK IT SHOULD.
SO I THINK I THINK THOSE TWO SHOULD GO TOGETHER AND AND THAT WOULD THEN KEEP THE FIRST NATIONS SEPARATE AND I JUST I'M JUST SEEING SO MUCH OF THIS HAPPENING AND IT'S QUITE GOOD NEWS BECAUSE BASICALLY YOU'RE GETTING PEOPLE WHO, YOU KNOW, HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WHO DON'T WANT TO WORK FULL TIME, BUT THEY MIGHT WANT TO WORK PART TIME.
AND IT I THINK IT'S REALLY WORTHWHILE.
I'M JUST WONDERING, THROUGH YOU, YOUR WORSHIP, IF WE'RE GOING TO HIRE SOMEBODY FULL TIME.
WOULDN'T THAT BE OVERBURDENING THEM WITH WORK FROM OUR COMMUNITY AND POSSIBLY THE OTHER COMMUNITY ON THE OUTSKIRTS? YOU DO HAVE TO BE CAREFUL THAT WHEN YOU DO THIS, YOU IT'S GOT IT HAS TO WORK IN BOTH COMMUNITIES OR OTHERWISE IT DOESN'T WORK.
THE CHIEF, THE BUILDING INSPECTORS WERE THE FIRST BYLAW ENFORCEMENT, PROBABLY THE SECOND.
AND THERE'S THERE'S NOW AND LIKE IN SOUTHERN ONTARIO, THERE'S THERE'S PLANNERS THAT ARE WORKING IN TWO ADJACENT MUNICIPALITIES, WORKING, YOU KNOW, TWO DAYS AT ONE AND ONE DAY AT ANOTHER.
AND SO THEY'RE SEMI-RETIRED AND ALL THESE ARRANGEMENTS, BUT THEY DO HAVE TO WORK.
AND THE SUCCESS RATIO OF SHARED SERVICES IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE OTHER MUNICIPALITIES.
HOW WELL DO THE COUNCIL MEMBERS GET ALONG AND YOUR STAFF.
BUT WHEN YOU SEE THE AMOUNT OF COST SAVINGS THAT YOU CAN CAN REALIZE IT BECOMES USEFUL FOR BOTH. AND SO LET'S USE A BUILDING INSPECTORS, BECAUSE I THINK MOST OF US UNDERSTAND WHAT A BUILDING INSPECTOR DOES WHEN THERE'S A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT, THEY'RE OUT THERE, AND THEY'RE MAKING SURE THAT'S BEING BUILT BY THE BUILDING CODE.
AND AND SO IT DEPENDS ON YOUR LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT.
SO YOU HAVE TO WHAT, YOU HAVING A FULL TIME BUILDING INSPECTOR PRETTY WELL MEANS THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GOING TO YOU HAVE THE PEOPLE TO INSPECT WHEN YOU NEED THEM.
HAVING A SHARED BUILDING INSPECTOR MEANS THAT YOU'VE GOT TO WORK WITH YOUR DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY AND THE AND YOUR PARTNER COMMUNITY SHARING THE EMPLOYEE. AND YOU KNOW, MONDAYS AND TUESDAYS, THEY'RE HERE, YOU KNOW, FRIDAY THEY'RE HERE.
SO, SO THERE'S A LITTLE MORE WORK INVOLVED IN MAKING IT WORK.
AND THEN AND THEN YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH YOUR DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY TO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND THAT AS AN EXAMPLE, IN ELLIOT LAKE, YOU MIGHT ONLY HAVE BUILDING OFFICIALS AVAILABLE ON TUESDAY AND THURSDAY.
[00:50:05]
AS LONG AS I KNOW THAT AND THEY WORK TOWARDS US, EVERYBODY'S WORKING TOGETHER IT WORKS.SO IT'S NOT PERFECT, BUT IT IS A REAL SAVIOR IF RATHER THAN HIRING A FULL TIME BUILDING INSPECTOR, WHICH IS WHAT MANY OF US NORMALLY WOULD HAVE DONE, AND THE SMALLER MUNICIPALITIES IN ONTARIO ARE ALL DOING THIS NOW AND THEY'RE DOING IT WELL.
AND BUT IT REALLY, REALLY I CAN'T OVEREMPHASIZE YOU GOT TO ESTABLISH A RELATIONSHIP WITH THOSE MUNICIPALITIES WHERE YOU TRUST EACH OTHER.
AND BECAUSE YOU YOU KNOW VERY MUCH THEY'RE WORKING FOR TWO MUNICIPALITIES.
SO THERE'S BEEN THE ODD HICCUP IN SOME MUNICIPALITIES.
BUT BUT IT REALLY IS SIMPLY THE RELATIONSHIP AND GETTING EVERYBODY ON SITE.
IT'S A LITTLE MORE WORK IN ORGANIZING IT, BUT A LOT OF COST SAVINGS AND AND AND COST SAVINGS TO THE MUNICIPALITY BECAUSE IN THE CASE OF THE INSPECTORS, IF THEY'RE NOT OUT EXPECTING INSPECTING, THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE NOT CREATING ANY REVENUE FOR ANYBODY ANYWAY. SO SO WE WANT TO TRY AND USE THE BUILDING INSPECTORS MAKE THEIR JOB MORE ACTIVE.
THEY'VE GOT THEY GOT LOTS OF PROJECTS TO DO.
AND BUT IF I JUST IT IS A DIFFERENT WAY OF WORKING.
AND IT INVOLVES THE SENIOR STAFF.
BUT AGAIN, I CAN'T JUST I THINK I THINK THIS ONE IS ONE THAT'S GOING TO SAVE MONEY GOING FORWARD PROBABLY BETTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE THAT'S CURRENTLY OUT THERE FOR A MUNICIPALITY OF YOUR SIZE.
THANK YOU. YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU TO COUNCIL, MR. DOBBIE. WE WENT THROUGH A MUNICIPAL MODERNIZATION PROGRAM ANALYSIS LAST YEAR THROUGH THE LAST TERM OF COUNCIL.
SO WE DID DO THIS WITH A FIRM WE DID.
IT WAS BASED ON FIVE COMMUNITIES.
SO WE DO HAVE A FRAMEWORK IN PLACE.
WE'VE GOT A PLAN OF ATTACK AVAILABLE.
WE DID GO THROUGH IT WAS THE MMP GRANT THAT WE RECEIVED AND THE PROGRAM THAT WE DID, THE FIRM PERFORMANCE CONCEPTS, WHICH MR. DOBBIE IS WELL AWARE OF, OF THAT GROUP.
AND WE DO HAVE A FIRM ON TAP READY TO EXECUTE SHOULD WE CHOOSE TO GO THAT ROUTE.
AND MISS BRAY MIGHT HAVE TO REMIND ME, BUT IT WAS BYLAW LANDFILL, BUILDING SERVICES, IT AND THERE WAS AN HR . I THINK MAYBE IT WAS THE FIFTH ONE, BUT THERE WAS FOUR FOR SURE THAT WE HAD IN PLACE.
AND WE HAVE A FULL REPORT AND INFRASTRUCTURE DONE.
SO AS FAR AS INSTITUTING THIS STRATEGY OR WORKING THROUGH THIS STRATEGY, WE DO ALREADY HAVE A FRAMEWORK IN PLACE AND VERY MUCH WHAT MR. DOBBIE WAS SPEAKING OF.
OKAY. THANK YOU. MRS. BRAY. THANK YOU, YOUR WORSHIP.
SO WE ARE ABLE TO TRACK HOW MANY APPLICATIONS WE GET PER YEAR.
SO IT WOULD BE MANAGEABLE TO TO MANAGE THAT WORKLOAD.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? DO WE HAVE ANOTHER POINT OR TWO TO ADD TO OPPORTUNITIES? NO. OKAY, LET'S MOVE ON.
[00:55:06]
SO THIS ONE, I WROTE IT UP A FAIRLY BROADLY, LOOKING AT WHERE YOU'RE GOING WITH COMMUNICATION.I KNOW YOU DO A LOT OF IT, AND I ALSO KNOW THAT THROUGHOUT ONTARIO THIS IS A CHALLENGING ISSUE FOR MUNICIPALITIES. SO I'D BE INTERESTED IN COUNCIL'S THOUGHTS ON WHETHER IS THIS GOING TOO FAR TO GO IN LOOKING AT EVERYTHING OR OR STAFF'S THOUGHT ABOUT ARE YOU CLOSE TO WHERE YOU NEED TO BE? SO THAT WAS KIND OF WHAT I WAS HOPING TO HEAR FROM FOLKS TODAY.
AND I DON'T WANT TO SUGGEST A THOROUGH REVIEW IF YOU'RE ALREADY COMFORTABLE.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, A LOT OF YOU TALKED TO ME ABOUT COMMUNICATION OR AND SOME AREAS WHERE COMMUNICATION MIGHT BE IMPROVED. SO LISTEN CAREFULLY TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY.
COUNCILLOR MANN. THANK YOU YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU.
I THINK CLEARLY IT WAS PUT ON HERE AS A THREAT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT.
AGAIN, I CAN'T SPEAK ON STAFF'S BEHALF, BUT THROUGH SOME OF THE CONVERSATIONS EXCUSE ME, THROUGH SOME OF THE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD, CLEARLY THERE IS WORK TO BE DONE. I THINK AS A MUNICIPALITY, WE JUST NEED TO BE VERY CONSISTENT IN OUR MESSAGING PLATFORMS AND ALL OF THOSE TYPES OF AVENUES TO GET COMMUNICATIONS OUT.
THAT BECOMES AN OPERATIONAL ISSUE AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.
BUT ENSURING THAT THE MESSAGING IS COMFORTABLE WITH EVERYONE AS A GROUP IS IMPORTANT.
EVERYONE OUTSIDE THESE WALLS NEEDS TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE INFORMATION.
BUT WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT THE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE AND ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE.
AND I THINK THAT'S PART OF WHAT WE WERE DISCUSSING, HOW WE'RE NOT HAMSTRUNG, BUT THE COMMITTEE SYSTEM AND HOW WE'RE LOOKING AT TOWN HALLS AND HOPEFULLY THAT'S PART OF WHAT OUR STRATEGIC PLAN IS IN HAVING THE COMMUNITY COMMUNICATE TO US.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? COUNCILLOR FLINTOFF.
[INAUDIBLE] WELL, JUST SORT OF TO AGREE WITH YOU WITH A POINT LIKE WE HAVE STARTED ALREADY WITH THE TOWN HALLS AND FROM THE STAFF, THEY WERE QUITE SUCCESSFUL AND THERE'S BEEN SOME THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE.
WE ENDED UP GETTING AN EXTRA ACTIVITY FOR OUR HERITAGE DAYS BECAUSE OF IT OUT OF A GROUP.
AND SO IT IS A PROCESS AND IT'S AN ONGOING PROCESS THAT WE JUST CAN'T TAKE FOR GRANTED.
AND WE, AS I THINK AS A COUNCIL, REALIZE THAT AND WE'LL MOVE ALONG AND WE'LL GET THIS FIGURED OUT.
THANKS, COUNCILLOR MORRISSETTE.
THROUGH YOU, MR. CHAIR, I'M JUST GOING TO GO BACK TO OPPORTUNITIES.
I WAS THINKING WHEN I WROTE THAT THE CITY HAS LOTS OF LAND TO BUILD ON.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S PART OF OF OPPORTUNITIES, BUT I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT ALSO.
THAT WE WANT TO GROW OUR COMMUNITY.
THANK YOU. MR. MAYOR, I WAS GOING TO RAISE AN ISSUE AT THE END OF THE MEETING, AND IT'S SPECIFIC TO COUNCILLOR LUC'S
[01:00:06]
COMMENT. SO I'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH STAFF ON ONE ONE TODAY WAS ON COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AND, AND AND SO WE IT'S THE STAFF ARE AWARE THAT THAT THEY NEED TO PROVIDE YOU MEMBERS OF COUNCIL WITH WITH SOME INFORMATION ON WHAT WHAT PLANS YOU HAVE FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND IF YOU NEED MORE THEN WHERE YOU MIGHT GO FOR THAT.AND SO I WAS GOING TO AT THE END OF THE MEETING SAY THAT I'M EXPECTING THAT THERE WILL BE A FEW MORE ACTIONS THAT AREN'T ON THIS LIST THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH TONIGHT, BUT WILL BE BROUGHT AT THE NEXT MEETING OF THIS STRATEGIC PLANNING GROUP.
AND I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE A LOT OF ACTIONS.
BUT AS AN EXAMPLE, THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES THAT THE COUNCIL REFERRED TO THERE IS THERE THERE IS A AN ACTION THAT I'M SURE YOU'RE GOING TO WANT IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN SO THAT YOU YOU DO HAVE LAND FOR OTHERS TO COME AND JOIN YOU IN BUILDING A NEW COMMERCIAL BUILDING OR INDUSTRIAL BUILDING.
SO SO THIS IS THESE ARE ACTIONS RELATED TO THE WORK THAT WE DID LAST TWO WEEKS AGO TONIGHT.
THE I WAS AT THE END OF THIS MEETING GOING TO SAY TO ALL OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE MISSED, LIKE COUNCILLOR LUC JUST RAISED THAT, THAT PLEASE LET ME KNOW LIKE HE JUST DID.
AND, AND WE CAN COVER THAT OFF.
SO THANK YOU FOR RAISING THAT THAT WE WILL BE BACK WITH THAT ONE THE NEXT MEETING.
AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE, I'LL REPEAT THIS AGAIN BEFORE WE FINISH FINALLY TONIGHT.
AND THIS IS WE'RE GETTING DOWN IN OUR WORK PLAN TO THE POINT WHERE WE'VE GOT WE'VE GOT ONE MORE MEETING WHERE WE COULD ADD WE COULD COME UP WITH MAYBE 6 OR 7 NEW ACTIONS.
AND IF THERE'S ANY THAT YOU WANT US TO LOOK AT, I NEED YOU TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME.
SO I'VE RECORDED THAT ONE AND WE'LL GET THOSE FOR YOU.
UM, THERE THERE ARE A COUPLE OF ITEMS. STEVE AND I WERE LOOKING AT THE AT THE 2015 STRATEGIC PLAN, AND THERE ARE A COUPLE ITEMS THERE THAT YOU HAVEN'T COMPLETED YET THAT PROBABLY SHOULD BE.
SO WE WOULD BRING THOSE AS WELL TO THE, TO OUR FINAL MEETING.
SO THANK YOU FOR THAT AND WE'LL HAVE THAT ONE FOR THE NEXT MEETING.
OKAY, MR. GOULDING. MR. DOBBIE WAS LOOKING FOR SOME INPUT FROM STAFF WITH REGARDS TO COMMUNICATION, AND I THINK CURRENTLY CITY OPERATIONS HAS A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION CHANNELS THAT WE ENGAGE IN AND I THINK YOU WERE LOOKING FOR SOME INSIGHT INTO WHAT STAFF'S PERSPECTIVE OF HOW WELL ARE WE DOING AT THIS.
AND WITH COUNCILLOR MANN SAYING, YOU KNOW, THIS IS KIND OF AN OPERATIONAL ITEM, BUT ALSO ACKNOWLEDGING THAT IT'S AN IMPORTANT ONE, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WOULD TAKE AWAY FROM THAT WITH COUNCIL ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE.
IT MAKES STAFF MORE COMFORTABLE COMING FORWARD WITH SOLUTIONS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY LET US DO A BETTER JOB AND MAKE IT A LITTLE EASIER ON US TRYING TO STAY ENGAGED WITH NOT ONLY THE CONSTITUENCY BUT VISITORS TO THE AREA AND WHATNOT.
SO I THINK AS WRITTEN, IT'S ACTUALLY RIGHT ON BECAUSE WE NEED TO REVIEW WHAT WE'RE DOING AND FIGURE OUT NOT ONLY BETTER WAYS TO DO IT, BUT EASIER WAYS TO DO IT. OKAY.
THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? OKAY. SO THE NEXT ONE WE DISCUSS HIRING HIRING PROFESSIONAL STAFF AND THAT KIND OF THING.
[01:05:11]
COUNCILLOR MANN. THANK YOU, WORSHIP.I WOULD SUGGEST FRIENDLY REMOVAL OF THE WORD AVAILABLE.
WE'RE COMMITTED TO HIRING THE BEST PROFESSIONAL STAFF FOR OUR COMMUNITY, PERIOD.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS, MR. GOULDING? I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE THAT THAT THAT INITIATIVE RELATES TO 58817 THAT SHOULD BE ON THE NEXT ONE.
NUMBER THREE IS THAT THAT IS NO, I THINK THAT'S WITH THE WEAKNESSES, NUMBER ONE.
IS THERE ANOTHER POINT THAT THAT CAN TIE BACK TO WITH? THOSE TWO IDEAS SEEM TO RHYME, RIGHT? THE CITY IS SEEN AS AN EMPLOYER OF CHOICE AND IN DISCUSSION OF HIRING.
THANK YOU. DID WE ALSO DISCUSS THIS? THIS IS MAYBE WHERE, YOU KNOW, HIRING AND RETAINING GOOD HELP, RIGHT? WE'RE COMPETING WITH HIGH PAYING JOBS IN MINING INDUSTRIES.
LABOR. I SEEM TO RECALL THAT WAS PART OF THE GENESIS OF THIS ONE.
OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? IS YOUR HAND UP, LAURIE? NOPE. NOPE.
WHICH OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO DO ANYWAY.
BUT WE THOUGHT IT IMPORTANT TO BE STATED.
ANY COMMENTS? IT'S PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.
DO WE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE ANYBODY THOUGHT OF TO ADD TO THIS TOPIC OF THREATS? OKAY. SEEING NONE.
YES. YOUR WORSHIP YOU JUST MENTIONED UNDER THREATS.
AND THAT KIND OF CONCEPT KIND OF RHYMES WITH THE ONTARIO REGULATIONS WITH RESPECT TO LABOR.
KIND OF ADMINISTRATIVELY GETTING ORGANIZED TO ENGAGE IN BEST PRACTICES AROUND INSURANCE.
THANK YOU. SO WE'RE NOW INTO THE FOURTH AND FINAL SECTION OF THIS.
SO THESE THESE WE GOT TO BY DISCUSSING WEAKNESSES FOR THE COMMUNITY.
AND ONE OF THE ISSUES RAISED BY BOTH STAFF AND COUNCIL IS THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND AND MAINTAINING THAT INFRASTRUCTURE GOING FORWARD.
SO EVERY COMMUNITY FACES THE CHALLENGE OF MAINTAINING ITS INFRASTRUCTURE, SUCH AS ROADS, SIDEWALKS, SEWERS, PARKS, BEACHES, GOLF COURSES AND SKI AREA. ELLIOT LAKE WILL REVIEW ITS FINANCING AND PRIORITIES IN INFRASTRUCTURE REPAIR WITH A VIEW TO KEEPING OUR INFRASTRUCTURE IN GOOD SHAPE AND
[01:10:06]
COST UNDER CONTROL.THAT THIS IS A REQUIREMENT OF ONTARIO REGULATION 588/17.
SO THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE ISSUE OF SETTING PRIORITIES FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS.
IT'S SETTING SPECIFIC PRIORITIES FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND DOING WHAT YOU CAN DO TO TO START TO REDUCE AND EVENTUALLY ELIMINATE THE INFRASTRUCTURE GAP THAT EXISTS IN MANY MUNICIPALITIES IN ONTARIO TO THIS DAY.
SO IT'S A MORE ORGANIZED AND STRATEGIC APPROACH ON INFRASTRUCTURE HEAVILY RELATES ON YOUR ABILITY TO PAY FOR IT AND IS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT THE EASIEST THING TO DO.
AND MANY MUNICIPALITIES HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT HOW TO COVER OFF THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE GAP.
BUT DOING IT IN A STRATEGIC FASHION SUCH AS THIS GETS YOU STARTED DOWN THAT PATH.
THANK YOU YOUR WORSHIP JUST A COUPLE THINGS ON THE WEAKNESS.
WE DON'T REALLY MAINTAIN THE GOLF COURSE OR THE SKI HILL THAT'S DONE BY THE PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE MAINTAINING THE GOLF COURSE AND THE SKI HILL, BUT WOULD THIS INCLUDE LIKE, WHAT ABOUT OUR ARENA SITUATION? THAT'S A MAIN INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S GOING TO NEED SOME TLC PRETTY SOON, LIKE WE'VE DEALT WITH THE POOLS.
OR IS IT UNDER A DIFFERENT ITEM? IT'S SORT OF UNDER NUMBER THREE.
MR. GOULDING AM I WRONG ON THAT? DO WE MAINTAIN THE GOLF COURSE IN THE SKI HILL? I MEAN, WE WOULD HELP A LITTLE BIT WITH THE ODD PLOWING, BUT THROUGH YOU, YOUR WORSHIP.
YEAH. SO, YEAH, OSTENSIBLY, YES.
BOTH OF THOSE FACILITIES KIND OF HAVE A UNIQUE ORGANIZATIONAL AND OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE WHERE WE OWN THE LAND THAT THE SKI HILL FACILITY OCCUPIES.
BUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S THERE MAY OR MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE OWNED BY THE CITY AND THE GOLF COURSE, I BELIEVE THE CITY OWNS OUTRIGHT, BUT WE HAVE AN OPERATIONS AGREEMENT WITH RETIREMENT LIVING.
SO YEAH, THERE'S SUBTLETIES AROUND THOSE TWO SPECIFIC AREAS.
AND I THINK REALLY WHAT YOU'RE DRIVING HOME AT IS IF WE WANT TO BE SPECIFIC IN THIS LIST, WE HAVE TO BE VERY CONSIDERED ABOUT WHAT FACILITIES WE NAME AND HOW WE NAME THEM.
ONE OF THEM, I THINK MIGHT BE ABSENT IS OUR WATER PLANT IF WE TALK ABOUT SEWERS.
AND SO I'M NOT SURE I THINK MR. DOBBIE WOULD SAY HE HAS AN APPETITE TO BE SPECIFIC.
BUT IF YOU ARE IF YOU ARE HELPING TO FINANCE THOSE OPERATIONS, THEN YOU MAY NOT BE MAINTAINING THEM INDIVIDUALLY YOURSELF.
BUT YOU ARE YOU'RE PART OF THE PARTNERSHIP THAT PROVIDES THAT.
AND SO I WAS I MEAN, I'M IMPRESSED WITH HOW MANY FACILITIES YOU HAVE.
AND SO I WANTED TO PUT IN HERE AS A BIG A LIST AS I COULD BECAUSE MOST MUNICIPALITIES, EVEN MANY BIGGER THAN ELLIOT LAKE, DON'T EVEN HAVE THESE FACILITIES.
AND I THINK YOU DO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP THAT YOU SHARE FINANCIALLY, CERTAINLY WITH THE GOLF COURSE.
SO SO I'M HAPPY TO, TO PUT THIS IN IN A WAY THAT MAKES SENSE FOR YOU, OF COURSE.
BUT I, I MEAN, THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT THAT WE ASKED IN OUR INTERVIEWS WITH ALL OF YOU. WHAT ARE THE THREE BIG ISSUES FACING THIS MUNICIPALITY? AND THE WORD INFRASTRUCTURE COMES OUT REALLY QUICK FROM EVERYBODY.
AND SO I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO MISS ANYTHING.
SO BUT I TAKE YOUR POINT AND WE CAN WITH STAFF'S HELP, WE CAN FIND REFINE THIS WORDING A BIT.
OKAY. AND I'M HAPPY TO ADD THE WATER PLANT OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE'VE MISSED.
[01:15:11]
PERHAPS THE POOL AS WELL.IT'S TOP OF MIND RIGHT NOW FOR EVERYONE.
ARE WE LISTING ALL THE FACILITIES HERE? AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO PRIORITIZE EACH ONE AS WE GO DOWN.
ARE WE GOING TO HAVE LIKE A PRIMARY PRIORITY AND A SECONDARY PRIORITY, OR IS IT GOING TO BE THAT SPECIFIC? THE FACT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO PRIORITIZE BOTH YOUR CAPITAL PROJECTS.
AND YOU KNOW, I KNOW I KNOW IT'S DIFFICULT TO YOU KNOW, IS IS THE REBUILDING OF AN ARENA? IS IT A IS IT A NEW SOMETIMES IT'S SUCH A SIGNIFICANT REBUILDING THAT IT'S ALMOST LIKE A NEW PROJECT.
BUT YOU DON'T YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN SHOULD SAY, HOW DO YOU WANT TO TREAT YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE AND YOUR CAPITAL PROJECTS IN YOUR FIRST FOUR YEARS OF YOUR FIRST TERM OR YOUR TERM? HOW DO YOU WANT TO TREAT THOSE? AND IF YOU WANT TO SET PRIORITIES, YOU DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO DO IT AS PART OF THE PLAN.
BUT AS LONG AS YOU DO IT IN A PROCESSED WAY, THAT WORKS FOR THE COMMUNITY GOING FORWARD.
SO LET'S SAY THAT THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT BECOMES A HIGH PRIORITY WITH THIS COUNCIL, THEN YOU'D BE STARTING IMMEDIATELY TO START WORKING ON PRIORITIZING FOR SURE THE CAPITAL PROJECTS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S, IT'S YOU HAVE A LOT OF THINGS ON YOUR AGENDA FOR WANTING TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO CAPITAL PROJECTS.
SO SO THOSE NEED TO BE PRIORITIZED SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO THEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
SO FROM FOR FINANCIAL REASONS.
SO I THINK IT'S OKAY TO SAY, HERE'S OUR APPROACH.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANNOUNCE THE PRIORITY WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN.
YOU JUST HAVE TO SAY, WHEN IS IT WE'RE GOING TO GET TO THIS AND DEAL WITH IT AND WHEN ARE WE GOING TO DEAL WITH THE FIRST CAPITAL PROJECT AND AND THE PRIORITIES IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE? OKAY, I GET IT.
AS LONG AS WE LIST EVERYTHING, IT'S IN THE GUIDE.
WE STILL GET TO PICK OUR PATH.
YEAH. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? OKAY. OKAY.
SORRY. THANK YOU. YOUR WORSHIP.
I GUESS THE ONLY CONCERN I WOULD HAVE IS IF WE MISS SOMETHING.
WHAT MESSAGE DOES THAT SEND? CLEARLY WE CAN'T ACHIEVE.
THE FIRST PRIORITY BEING ROADS.
WE KNOW THAT THE NUMBER OF THAT WE HAVE TO REPAIR, REBUILD, RESURFACE IS BEYOND ANYTHING THAT WE COULD EVER DO IN THIS TERM OR THE NEXT.
SO WE START LISTING OFF FACILITIES.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE AIRPORT EARLIER, BUT IT'S NOT ON THIS SPECIFIC LIST.
MY CONCERN IS YOU GET AN ALL ENCOMPASSING LIST.
WHAT MESSAGE DOES THAT SEND? AS OPPOSED TO SAYING THESE ARE OUR TOP THREE? TOP THREE TODAY WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT THAN PROBABLY THE TOP THREE LAST YEAR OR MAYBE THEY WOULDN'T.
SO THAT'S THE KIND OF THE TRADE OFF.
THE LIST IS, YEAH, IS BEYOND COMPREHENSION.
WHEN WE START TO THINK ABOUT OUR ASSET MANAGEMENT PLANNING AND THE NUMBER, THE TRUE VALUE IT CREATES GREAT ANXIETY WITH OUR TREASURER. I KNOW THAT AND OUR CURRENT VALUE, RIGHT, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO HAVE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DOLLARS IN RESERVES IN ORDER TO EVEN APPLY FOR OTHER FUNDING WHICH WE'RE NOT EVEN THERE YET IN SOME RESPECTS.
THANK YOU. MR. MAYOR, THAT'S A REAL IMPORTANT ISSUE.
I'M GLAD YOU RAISED THAT COUNCILLOR.
I WE NEED TO HAVE MORE DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT.
BUT BECAUSE WHAT YOU DESCRIBED IS, IS WHERE WE ARE.
AND SO I THINK WE HAVE TO IN OUR WHEN WE DESIGN THE FINAL VERSION OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN, THAT ISSUE IS ONE THAT WE NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL OF BECAUSE EVERYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT LIST OF THEIR FAVORITE PRIORITIES.
BUT BUT YOU'RE THE COUNCIL THAT ARE GOING TO DECIDE WHICH ONE YOU'RE GOING TO TACKLE FIRST.
AND SO WE WILL HAVE TO BE QUITE SPECIFIC.
I DON'T HAVE ANY SUGGESTION IMMEDIATELY ON HOW TO DO THAT.
[01:20:05]
I JUST WE HAVE THE PROCESS IN PLACE THAT WE CAN GET TO THERE AND WE WILL GET TO THERE, BUT WE'RE NOT THERE YET.IT HAS TO DO WITH YOU REMEMBER, IN OUR IN OUR WORKSHOP, IN THE VERY FIRST MEETING, WE TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE THE CHAPTERS OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN.
AND AND I'M STILL IN MY MIND, I'M I KEEP CHANGING MY MIND ABOUT WHAT THE CHAPTERS ARE.
SO I'VE NOT BROUGHT IT TO YOU YET.
AND AND THAT'S WHERE WE NEED TO MAKE EITHER AND I AGREE COMPLETELY, YOU EITHER LIST EVERYTHING OR OR YOUR TOP THREE PRIORITIES ARE SO APPRECIATE THE COMMENT IT'S GOOD THAT IS TAKES SOME WORK TO GET THAT RIGHT BUT AND WE'LL BE INTERESTED IN HEARING FROM THE PUBLIC WHAT THEY THINK THEIR PRIORITIES ARE AS WELL.
WE IT WILL BE DONE AND AND BE DONE.
BUT IF WE CAN SHOW THAT WE LISTENED, IF WE CAN SHOW THAT EVERYTHING WE'RE DOING IS BASED ON WHAT'S BEST FOR THE COMMUNITY IN THE LONG RUN, I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE SOME HEADWAY.
AND ONCE YOU ESTABLISH THAT KIND OF A POSITION WHERE YOU'RE GOING AND YOU'RE TACKLING THINGS ONE AT A TIME AND WORKING YOUR WAY THROUGH IT, AT LEAST PEOPLE KNOW THINGS ARE GETTING DONE.
BUT IT'S A GOOD POINT. THANKS FOR RAISING IT.
SO WHAT I'M GATHERING IS THAT YOU'RE ASKING POTENTIALLY FOR THIS COUNCIL TO MAYBE HAVE A PRIORITY LIST OF 3 TO 5 THINGS. YES.
OKAY. AND WE WILL PROVIDE A PROCESS FOR YOU TO TO DO THAT.
THAT PROBABLY IS GOING TO BE AT THE NEXT MEETING AS WELL.
OKAY. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? PROVIDING INCREASED ACCESSIBILITY FOR ALL OF THE CITIZENS OF COMMUNITY BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES.
[INAUDIBLE] AS NEW CAPITAL PROJECTS ARE COMPLETED IN THE COMMUNITY, THEY WILL BE DONE WITH A CAREFUL REVIEW OF THE ACCESSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS. THAT IS WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING THAT ANYWAY.
BUT IT IS, I THINK, WISE TO REPEAT IT AND THAT'S WHY IT'S THERE.
ANY COMMENTS? OKAY. THE LONGEST ACTION IS THIS ONE.
AND IT HAS TO DO WITH YOUR CAPITAL PROJECTS.
AND THAT, BY THE WAY, WAS SOMETHING THAT COUNCIL AND STAFF IDENTIFIED AS A MAJOR ISSUE FACING THE COMMUNITY, THAT YOU'VE GOT A NUMBER OF CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT NEED ADDITIONAL MONEY SPENT ON THEM AND IN SOME CASES CONSIDERABLE AMOUNTS OF ADDITIONAL. SO I TOOK A RUN AT PUTTING THIS DOWN.
ELLIOT LAKE HAS A NUMBER OF LARGE CAPITAL PROJECTS RELATED TO FACILITIES THAT ARE REQUIRED EITHER TO BE BUILT ENTIRELY OR TO HAVE TO HAVE EXTENSIVE REPAIRS.
COUNCILS PLAN IS TO SET PRIORITIES AND CARRY OUT ONE CAPITAL PROJECT AT A TIME.
[01:25:10]
DELIVERING THESE CAPITAL PROJECTS.THE REVIEW FOR EACH PROJECT WILL LOOK AT OUR ABILITY TO PAY FOR THE PROJECT, BUT ALSO THE APPROPRIATE TYPE OF PROJECT AND LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT EACH NEW FACILITY WOULD PROVIDE.
EXTENSIVE PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT WILL BE UNDERTAKEN THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.
SO THE OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE ACTION WAS THE INFRASTRUCTURE ACTION THING.
AND THIS IS THE CAPITAL PROJECT ONE.
THIS IS MY VIEW, THE TOUGHEST ONE, AND THIS IS MR. MAYOR THROUGH YOU TO THE REST OF COUNCIL IS I THINK THAT'S TOUGH JOB OF SETTING PRIORITIES.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO BE NEEDS TO BE DONE.
SO THAT WAS MY ATTEMPT AT TRYING TO WRITE IT DOWN.
AND IT'S CERTAINLY A LONGER ACTION THAN YOU WOULD NORMALLY WRITE IN A STRATEGIC PLAN.
COUNCILLOR MORRISSETTE. THROUGH YOU, MR. CHAIR. HOW CAN WE SET OUR GOAL ON CERTAIN THINGS? WHEN POSSIBLY OTHER THINGS HAPPEN.
AND WE HAVE SORT OF LIKE FOCUS ON THAT MORE THAN OUR GOALS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR PLAN HERE. IT WOULD BE NAIVE FOR US TO THINK THAT THERE WON'T BE SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS ENTIRELY NEW THAT WE HAVEN'T EVEN TALKED ABOUT IN OUR IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN.
SOME GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT OR MAY HAVE A PROGRAM OR MAY WANT MUNICIPALITIES TO DO THINGS. I MEAN, YOU ONLY HAVE TO LOOK AT THE LAST THREE YEARS WITH THE AMOUNT OF WORK YOU WOULD HAVE SPENT WORRYING ABOUT THE VIRUS THAT NONE OF US KNEW WAS GOING TO OCCUR IN 2015.
SO IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.
SO I THINK YOU I THINK YOU NEED TO YOU KNOW, YOU HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TACKLE THE VIRUS IN THE IN THE WAY THAT YOU AND OTHER MUNICIPALITIES DID.
IT OVERWHELMED MANY MUNICIPALITIES.
ALL YOU CAN DO, I THINK, IS RESPOND WHEN IT HAPPENS AND RECOGNIZE THAT THERE WILL BE THINGS IN THIS STRATEGIC PLAN THAT ARE THAT BECOME NEW AND THEY WON'T BE COVERED.
THERE WILL ALSO BE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE IN THIS PLAN THAT THINGS MAY CHANGE AND YOU MAY NO LONGER HAVE THE PRIORITY THAT YOU THOUGHT YOU MIGHT HAVE HAD.
AND ALL IT MEANS IS THAT YOU NEED TO CONTINUE OPERATING THIS MUNICIPALITY BY HAVING COUNCIL WORKING WITH STAFF, THE SENIOR STAFF IN A COOPERATIVE AND AND PROFESSIONAL WAY.
AND THAT'S THE SECRET TO WHEN THINGS THAT YOU'VE NEVER EXPECTED COME LIKE THIS, LIKE THE VIRUS.
IT'S ALSO THE SECRET THAT YOU SHOULD BE GETTING A REPORT REGULARLY ON YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN THAT SHOWS YOU HOW STAFF ARE DOING WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ALL OF THESE ACTIONS.
AND WE HAVE IN OUR WORK PLAN IN DEVELOPING THIS STRATEGIC PLAN AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, WHICH STAFF WILL AND WE TALKED ABOUT REPORTING TO COUNCIL 3 OR 4 TIMES A YEAR USING A KIND OF A A RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT, AMBER LIGHT APPROACH TO HOW THE PROJECTS ARE GOING BECAUSE YOU CAN'T START ALL THIS WORK IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS. YOU HAVE TO SPREAD IT OUT OVER THE THREE AND A HALF MONTHS OR YEARS.
SORRY THAT THAT REMAIN IN YOUR FIRST TERM.
SO I KNOW THAT'S NOT A REALLY HEARTWARMING ANSWER.
THAT GIVES YOU ALL SORTS OF ASSURETY THAT, YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE IT.
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT HOW THIS MUNICIPALITY HANDLED THE VIRUS, THERE WAS A TON OF WORK GOING INTO THAT.
[01:30:02]
SO WE NEED TO BE READY THAT THERE WILL BE SOME FLEXIBILITY IN WHAT WE'RE DOING.AND I THINK THAT'S. I THINK WE'LL HAVE THAT IN THIS PLAN.
THANK YOU YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU JUST TO ADD TO THAT.
OUR LIST JUST WENT OVER A LIFETIME INSTEAD OF A MUCH SHORTER AMOUNT OF TIME.
THERE'S A ROAD BEING DONE IN TOWN.
CAN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE THIS YEAR.
YEAH. AND WE CAN WE CAN AMEND THE WORDING TO, TO COVER THAT POINT FOR SURE.
THANK YOU. PERHAPS THERE SHOULD BE SOME WORDING, TO WELL, YOU'RE BASICALLY SAYING THAT WE NEED SOMETHING NEW OR REBUILT ENTIRELY OR EXTENSIVE REPAIRS, SOMETHING THAT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OPPORTUNITIES.
YOU KNOW, LIKE PLAN B TYPE THINGS.
THINGS WILL CHANGE FOR US AS WE GO.
I DON'T. THE WORDING HERE IS VERY LIMITING, I FEEL.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS? COUNCILLOR FLINTOFF THANK YOUR WORSHIP WELL, YEAH, LIKE NOTHING'S ETCHED IN STONE.
AND YOU KNOW, AS YOU SAY, THE VIRUS, THINGS HAPPEN.
WE MAY HAVE TO SWING ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
SO I MEAN, WE WILL HAVE A STRATEGIC PLAN, BUT WE MAY HAVE TO ADAPT AS WE GO ALONG.
UM, I LIKE YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO LIMIT US ON CERTAIN PROJECTS AND THEN WE CAN'T.
BUT WE WILL KEEP ON TRACK WITH THIS STRATEGIC PLAN.
OKAY. THANK YOU. COUNCILLOR MORRISSETTE.
UH, SIMILAR FEELING IS JUST I THINK THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS ONLY LIKE A GUIDE FOR US.
IT'S NOT THE LETTER OF THE LAW, SO TO SPEAK.
AND WHEN THEY SEE THIS THAT WE NEED TO WORK, LET'S SAY OUR NUMBER ONE IS THE ARENA.
BUT SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENED THAT WE'RE ALLOWED TO SELECT, PLAY AROUND A LITTLE BIT.
SO IT I THINK I UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE AND WE WILL, YOU KNOW, THESE MAJOR PROJECTS, THE STAFF HAVE TO KEEP THEIR EYE ON THEM ALL THE TIME ANYWAY.
WE CAN WORD THIS SO THAT STAFF ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO HAVE A WIN IN THAT YOU HEAR FROM GOVERNMENT THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME SOME SORT OF A PROGRAM THAT THAT MAYBE THERE IS FUNDING FOR IT BUT THAT THERE WASN'T BEFORE AND THAT CAN IMPACT YOUR PRIORITY.
BUT WHERE WE STARTED ON THIS, WE STARTED ON THIS DISCUSSION IN SAYING THAT WE WERE GOING TO GO AFTER GRANTS STRATEGICALLY, NOT JUST FOR THE SAKE OF GOING AFTER GRANTS.
AND I MAY HAVE PUSHED THE WORDING.
WELL, I DIDN'T MAY HAVE I DID PUSH THE WORDING TOO FAR.
AND AND YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT BEING TIED TO SOMETHING THAT YOU MIGHT GET GOOD NEWS.
AND NOW YOU'VE GOT A DOCUMENT THAT SAYS YOU CAN'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE GOOD NEWS.
[01:35:02]
I CAN FIX THAT.AND WE'LL DO THAT FOR FOR THIS PARTICULAR ONE.
THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR ELLIOT LAKE.
SO I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS THAT YOU'RE MAKING AND WE WILL HIT THE MARK HERE SHORTLY.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS? NOPE. OKAY. SO THE SO THE NEXT NEXT ONE IS WE DID NOTE ONE OF THE STAFF RAISED THE POINT THAT THEY WANTED TO DO A REVIEW OF THE MUNICIPAL SYSTEMS CURRENTLY IN PLACE AND DEVELOP AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN TO ENSURE THAT SYSTEMS FOR MONITORING THE WORK OF THE MUNICIPALITY ARE IN PLACE AND OPERATING EFFECTIVELY.
THIS IS THIS IS MAKING SURE THAT THAT YOU OPERATE AND DELIVER YOUR SERVICES IN IN A WAY THAT YOU CAN COMPARE HOW YOU'RE DOING TO OTHER WITH OTHER MUNICIPALITIES AND GIVES YOU THAT.
IT'S KIND OF THAT SERVICE DELIVERY REVIEW THAT WE SPOKE ABOUT EARLIER TODAY.
AND THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF WORK DONE ON THIS, BUT THE STAFF ARE CONCERNED THAT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT THEY NEED TO GET MOVING ON. SO THAT'S WHAT THIS ONE IS ABOUT.
ANY COMMENTS? WE'RE GOOD. OKAY.
AND THE LAST ONE THAT WE NEED TO REVIEW IS THE ONE THAT IS GOING TO NEED A LOT OF REWORDING BECAUSE.
ANYWAY, I'LL READ WHAT I'VE WHAT I'VE PUT FORWARD.
AND THE CITY OF ELLIOT LAKE WILL CARRY OUT A REVIEW OF VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES IN THE COMMUNITY.
TRADITIONALLY, ELLIOT LAKE HAS USED A DIFFERENT APPROACH, WHICH INVOLVES PAYING VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE PART OF AN ORGANIZATION, AND THE VOLUNTEERS PASS THE MONEY ON TO THEIR CLUBS. THIS IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE INSURANCE POLICY FOR THE MUNICIPALITY.
AND THEN I CONFESS THAT THIS WORDING REALLY NEEDS A LOT OF WORK.
I WANT TO SPEND A LOT MORE TIME ON THIS BEFORE WE TRY TO TAKE IT OUT TO THE PUBLIC.
SO THIS IS A PRIORITY FOR ME TO GET TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THIS ISSUE IS.
BUT YOU YOU ARE YOU ARE IN A BIT OF A CATCH 22 AS FAR AS YOUR INSURANCE COSTS ARE GOING UP.
THAT HAS THAT SOME OF THE REASON FOR THAT IS THE WAY THAT YOU DEAL WITH VOLUNTEERS.
SO THIS ONE NEEDS SOME CAREFUL WORDING AND MORE CAREFUL WORDING ON MY PART, BUT IT IS AN ISSUE THAT YOU NEED TO DEAL WITH AND I'LL I'LL ACCEPT HELP FROM ANYBODY THAT WILL HELP ME UNDERSTAND THIS ONE.
BUT IT IS UNIQUE TO I THINK IT IS UNIQUE TO ELLIOT LAKE.
I'VE WORKED IN 65 MUNICIPALITIES IN ONTARIO.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD ABOUT THIS.
SO I'M HAPPY TO HEAR WHAT ANYTHING PEOPLE WANT US TO THINK ABOUT TONIGHT.
AND BUT WE THIS NEEDS SOME WORK FOR SURE.
COUNCILLOR MANN. THANK YOU YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU.
IT'S A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON A TOPIC.
AND I THINK THAT'S WHY IT'S IT'S RIGHT HERE, FRONT AND CENTER IS BECAUSE OF WAYS IN WHICH THIS COMMUNITY HAS OPERATED IN A WAY TO ASSIST SERVICE CLUBS AND OTHER GROUPS MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE THE WAY THAT IT'S BEING DONE IN OTHER AREAS OR JURISDICTIONS.
SO WHEN AS YOU COMMENTED ON, YOU KNOW, BEING A GOOD INSURANCE POLICY HOLDER, WHEN YOU HAVE THOSE REVIEWS AND YOU SAY YOU CAN'T REALLY DO THAT ANYMORE, IT BECOMES THIS MAJOR CHANGE AND IT'S NOT NECESSARILY A CHANGE.
PROBABLY SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN DOING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
AND I THINK THAT'S THE EDUCATION PIECE THAT WE HAVE TO GET OUT TO THE COMMUNITY.
THANK YOU. COUNCILLOR FLINTOFF.
[01:40:01]
THANK YOUR WORSHIP. I, I THINK THIS VOLUNTEER LIKE THIS WHOLE VOLUNTEER THING.I THINK THIS GOES BACK TO MAYBE EVEN WHAT SOME OF US COUNCILLORS WHEN WE WERE RUNNING.
WE NEED TO BUILD UP THE COMMUNITY SPIRIT AND ELLIOT LAKE AGAIN, GET THE PUBLIC TO WANT TO GET INVOLVED, LIKE WITH OUR NEW STREET, OUR STREET DANCE COMING, GET A FEW OF THEM. I'D SAY, HEY, I'D LOVE TO GO AND HELP, YOU KNOW, BARTEND AND YOU KNOW, YOU CAN CONNECT THE CITY.
I WANT TO BE PART OF THE COMMUNITY.
BUT I ALSO THINK WE HAVE TO WORK OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ALL THE PUBLIC.
IF WE CAN GET THE COMMUNITY SPIRIT UP, THE VOLUNTEERS WILL SHOW UP.
YEAH, I THINK THE MEANING BEHIND THIS ONE IS THAT WE'VE HAD TROUBLE IN THE PAST AND WE AS THIS COUNCIL ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO FIND BETTER WAYS TO NOT ONLY FIGURE OUT THESE ISSUES AND DO IT PROPERLY, BUT ALSO SOME WAYS THAT WE'RE OUR LOCAL GROUPS ARE SUPPORTED.
THERE MIGHT EVEN BE WAYS THAT WE CAN HELP WITH INSURANCE POLICIES, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
THAT'S THE DIRECTION WE WANT OUR STAFF TO LOOK INTO.
ELLIOT LAKE HAS BEEN BASED ON VOLUNTEER SERVICE FOR PROGRAMING FOR EVER.
WE HAVE A TON OF GOOD VOLUNTEERS.
WE ARE SEEING IMPROVEMENTS ALREADY, BUT THERE'S STILL A LOT OF GRAY ZONE INSURANCE LITIGATION.
ALL THOSE FEARS COME INTO PLAY AND THE COSTS ARE ASTRONOMICAL.
SO IF WE CAN FIND A WAY TO SAVE SOME MONEY IN THIS ONE TOO, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS? OKAY, SO IT'S A QUARTER TO 6:00 ABOUT I GUESS WE'LL TAKE A 30 MINUTE BREAK.
IS THAT WHAT WE'RE ASKING? OR DO YOU WANT IS THAT THE BEST WAY? WELL, DO YOU HAVE ANY FINAL COMMENTS OR DO YOU WANT TO COME BACK AND THINK ABOUT IT? BECAUSE AFTER THIS, WE'RE GOING INTO CLOSED SESSION FOR THE OTHER PORTION.
I'M I CAN WRAP UP THIS PART OF THE MEETING IN, LIKE FIVE MINUTES AND AND THEN WE COULD.
SO BASICALLY WHAT WHAT I WANTED TO SAY AT THE END OF THIS SO SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR COMMENTS THAT YOU'VE GIVEN US TODAY.
WE WILL TURN THIS AROUND QUICKLY AND GET MOVING FORWARD.
SO WE HAVE I HAVEN'T COUNTED EXACTLY HOW MANY ACTIONS THAT WE JUST WENT THROUGH, BUT I THINK IT'S LIKE IN THE KIND OF LOW 20S I THINK I THINK THERE ARE THERE ARE A FEW ACTIONS THAT STILL NEED TO BE BROUGHT INTO HERE.
BUT WHEN WE TALKED IN OUR WORKSHOP ABOUT THAT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF 24 TO 30 ACTIONS ARE WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO.
I THINK WE WILL WE WILL GET TO THAT WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE.
THE LAST PLAN HAD 60 ACTIONS AND IT'S REALLY TOO MUCH FOR A COMMUNITY OF THIS SIZE ANYWAY.
WE SO WE WILL BE WE WILL BE COMING BACK FOR ONE MORE MEETING ON ACTIONS WE HAVE.
ALL OF THESE WILL BE AMENDED IN THE FASHION THAT YOU'VE ASKED US TO AMEND THEM.
WE WILL SPEAK TO STAFF ABOUT ANY THAT THEY WANT THEY WANT TO BRING FORWARD FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
WE WILL ALSO, IF MEMBERS OF COUNCIL THINK ABOUT ONE THAT'S MISSING THAT YOU WANT, YOU CAN EITHER TALK TO STAFF AND THEY'LL TALK TO US OR YOU CAN CALL ME DIRECTLY.
SO WE'RE PRETTY CLOSE TO GETTING TO WHERE THE HAVING THE ACTIONS DONE.
SO THE PUBLIC INPUT WILL BE HAPPENING AROUND JUNE THE 20TH, 21ST, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE THOSE KIND OF THINKING OF MIDWEEK AND WE WOULD USE A MUNICIPAL FACILITY AND INVITE PEOPLE TO COME OUT AND SEE THE SEE THE DRAFT ACTIONS AND COMMENT ON THEM AND THAT KIND OF THING.
[01:45:01]
AND THEN WE WILL ALSO AT THE NEXT MEETING, GIVE YOU MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN THAT STAFF WILL HAVE.OUR WE'RE OUR SCHEDULE IS IS MOVING ALONG VERY WELL.
SO I JUST WOULD REALLY ASK YOU IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU THINK IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS THAT WE ARE MISSING NOW THAT YOU'VE TOLD ME, SOME OF YOU HAVE TOLD ME THINGS THAT ARE MISSING NOW WE'VE GOT THOSE.
BUT IF YOU SEE SOMETHING IS MISSING, WE WILL WE WILL BE GETTING FOR THE NEXT MEETING OF OF THIS GROUP, WE WILL BE SENDING OUT THE WORDING IN ADVANCE SO THAT YOU'VE GOT A CHANCE TO READ IT BEFORE WE HAVE OUR MEETING.
BUT WE'RE COMING ALONG QUITE WELL AND THERE'S NO REASON WE CAN'T COMPLETE OUR PUBLIC INPUT PHASE IN JUNE AND GET THE STRATEGIC PLAN APPROVED LIKELY IN THE YOUR FIRST COUNCIL MEETING IN JULY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO COME BACK AND WORK ON THIS ANY FURTHER TONIGHT.
BUT WE WILL COME UP WITH A DATE FOR THE FOR ONE FINAL MEETING WHERE WE BRING IT ALL TOGETHER.
YOU APPROVE THE DRAFT, WE GO OUT TO THE PUBLIC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.
ALL OF THAT COMES BACK TO YOU IN EARLY JULY FOR FINAL APPROVAL.
SO WE'RE WE'RE MOVING ALONG WELL AND APPRECIATE IT.
OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. DOBBIE. UM, WELL, ANY LAST CHANCE, STAFF? ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? AND COUNCILORS.
OKAY. THANK YOU AGAIN, LORIANNE, TIM.
