City Council - Regular Meeting

Okay, the first thing to do is to approve the order of the day. No, Bruce mentioned that he would like us to add in the general affairs the letter B which would consist of naming Michael Orvick to the Commission of Urbanism. So we're going to add that. Other additions or changes to the current order of the day.

Good.

So I propose to approve the order of the day as ordered with the addition of point 11B1. Supported by Rick Siler. There are no other comments. What are the oppositions? Let's move on to the consensual order of the day. Does anyone have any questions or remarks on the consensual order of the day? No, but this figure is scary.

Just close your eyes. I didn't think it was that bad, because last month it was 1.6. Something.

For me, it seems right. I propose. Very well. I press. I have a motion from Rick Siler to approve the order of the consensual day, supported by Bruce Wolfe. If there are no other questions or comments than those that are available to them. Oppositions? I don't see any staff member. I think you should give us a little tip on the 10th avenue.

I just wanted to make a remark. Obviously, the 10th was closed all summer here. It was supposed to open, or rather the roundabout of the 10th and the 3rd will open this Friday and will remain open during the weekend for the baseball tournament of the state, just to facilitate a little the circulation towards and from the baseball field. And then we will close again Monday because it is planned to start mowing on the 10th. It will be open for a few days to help the external circulation around the baseball stadium.

All right.

Any questions on that? Well, they gave us a reason, because at the beginning, I think they told Matt that this section would be closed for three weeks. And now it's done. And the time has been very kind.

So I think the decision was made internally, because given the problems encountered with people trying to bypass the barriers and others, if we reopened to have to close again a few weeks later, it would only create more problems. It became simpler since it was only a period of about two weeks to let it close during these two weeks to try to adjust the situation.

Other questions? We have no ordinance to present or adopt. Only a resolution or a general case.

What do we have?

It is that on August 3, after the council meeting, we held a session in huis clos to carry out the annual evaluation of the city administrator Josh Teslov On the basis of the evaluations of each member of the municipal council, Josh received a grade of 3.74 out of a maximum of 5. 10 criteria were used for this evaluation. This is an improvement compared to the previous year where he had obtained 3.175. This is a satisfactory grade, which means that Josh meets the expectations of the council and is in the upper bracket, close to an exceptional grade of 4. The council estimated that Josh did an excellent job at the head of the city and achieved very visible objectives for it. Some examples are the completion of the police station and the purchase of the building of the New Day Church, which will now become the new town hall. It has also formed a very solid team that does an excellent job to meet the needs of our growing community. We have also discussed some objectives and areas requiring improvements over the coming year. Does anyone want to add anything to this subject? On the basis of his assessment, I would like to propose a motion to move him to the 7th level of his salary grid, with an effect on his 30 August anniversary date. Supported. And I have a support from Rick Seiler. Questions? Those who are in favor, say why. Oppositions? At unanimity. Our additional point in the order of the day. B, nomination. I would like to nominate Mike Orwick to fill in the rest of the mandate to the Commission of Urbanism, which is a little less than two years. This ends in May 2028. So I guess I need a motion for... So, motion approved. I have a motion to approve Mike. Supported by Sean Ryan. There are no other questions. Those who are in favor of the... And I want to reiterate that this will take effect immediately. He will therefore be present and he has confirmed that he will be available to sit at the Urbanism Commission on August 26th. You have to make sure that he receives a file, a link or everything he needs.

I just want to thank you, Eric, for ensuring the interim and for taking an additional seat at the Commission for the moment.

So, Rick, you won't be there this week. You're welcome, but you'll be on this side of the road. Very good. Very good.

Diver, do you have anything to add? Just a quick question, I can't wait for you to answer it today or in the immediate future. An administrator asked me what was the total surface of the properties belonging to the city. I mean... with the addition of the police station and new public services.

So let's talk about our buildings.

I think he was aiming for the buildings because he believes that we have started to acquire a lot of them and it's as if... Well, we have these two new buildings for the park service in front of the fire station and that of the public services in front of Chartres. This new public service, then we still have this one, we bought the church and we enlarged the police station. I think his idea was about all the main buildings and I gave you some examples on which he questioned himself. I would include the goal. It is a major property. So yes. Je suis assez curieux, je ne connais pas son objectif, s'il veut comparer avec d'autres villes de notre taille, mais je pense qu'il trouve que la ville possède beaucoup de bâtiments, et nous demandons si nous les utilisons tous, ou quel est notre plan à long terme pour eux. Oui, je le ferai.

Je suggérerais alors de donner un chiffre séparé. Pour ce bâtiment et celui qui est à Tlant, nous qui est Tlant, nous devons le supprimer.

Nous en avons parlé aussi. Je pense que si nous avons une vue d'ensemble, and that we let them know that this one could disappear.

If I could say, here is the total and here are the individual details.

Thank you.

Anything else, Sean? No, that's all. Josh, do you have anything else?

Sorry, Alissa. You had cut my microphone all this time. No, I have nothing.

Okay, Mitch Bryan. C'est bon pour toi, Patrick. Je n'ai rien. Donc je suppose que j'ai une motion pour lever la séance. Appuie. Appuyé par Sean Ryan. Tous ceux qui sont prudents.

Allez. On n'a pas commencé avant, 18h02 non plus.

Oh, 9 minutes. Prends ça, Rick.
