5. General Business and Reports
5.1. Hall of Fame update – changes made by Andrea were circulated, and approved,
therefore it will be adopted and process will be started. Andrea will start putting
notifications on the town page in the newspaper and the website. Forms will be
available at the community centre and possibly on the website.
5.2. General discussion – Chris reached to by-law regarding the horse waste on the
trail, the animal control by-law would cover it if the person was seen when it
happens, with the size of the by-law team it is not easily accomplished. They will
be on the lookout.
Scott would like to see some regular weekly cleaning of the tennis courts,
leaves, needles etc., as they are a slip hazard. Andrea will discuss with parks
manager.
Christian would like the large rocks at Annandale diamonds moved to expand
the parking lot. This was also discussed as a spot for playground. Chris did not
see the need to do that and the playground is a future consideration as there is
not one nearby.
Christian wondered if the parks signs will in the future be replaced with more
durable materials. Chris noted that this issue has not been discussed, but could
be in the future.
Chris would like to start locking the portable toilets at Annandale diamonds to
prevent them from being used for drug injections. This is a growing issue
throughout town.
Andrea gave an update on the Clerks department meeting with Chairs and Staff
Liaisons. Issues discussed were: terms of references; in-person vs virtual
meetings; member commitment to the committee attendance and work; role of
committees being not in a role to direct staff or assign staff tasks; AODA training
for committee members to be done in person; refresher training to all members
halfway through term; discussion on cross-over among some committees;
maximum number of members in order to be effective; recognition of committee
members. Clerks department will be sending an email looking for feedback from
all members. Recruitment for new term will be starting in September.
