CARRIED. Unanimously 5. BUSINESS ARISING FROM MINUTES 5.1 CAO Report Reminder to everyone about the boil water advisory presently ongoing and we hope to have that finished by the end of the week. They are precautionary in nature although we don’t say that because we still want people to make sure that they do follow the boil water orders. We managed to pass the first time around and through consultation with Service NL, they advised that we should put a boil water order in effect on an ongoing basis rather than try to quarantine parts of the town, we decided to do a town-wide one as we deal with some meters on this side of town and Portugal Cove side of town during this week. The tree lighting, parade and Christmas events were a great success over the week and I just want to say a great big Thank You to all who organized the events and participated in. Especially all involved in volunteers and the fire department continuing efforts to ensure we have a great fireworks around the tree lighting. And thanks to Brookside Intermediate for the use of their cafeteria for the Breakfast with Santa. The negotiations that were ongoing with the union did not take place this month at all. They were cancelled for a number of reasons. We cancelled one and the bargaining unit cancelled the other two. So we won’t start until the new year. The budget consultations info will be forthcoming hopefully after a meeting that myself and the Mayor have with the Minister tomorrow. After that we will know which direction we are taking and hopefully we’ll get information out in time so that folks will be able to avail of a public consultation or public information session prior to our adoption of the budget for 2020. So more to come and we apologize on the latest in this. I guess it’s just the way things happen to work out this year and some minor complications. We will manage to get through that and all will be good for sure. This potentially the last public Council meeting for the year although we may have a special meeting to adopt the budget if we so go down that road. So I just want to say thanks to Council for all their support throughout the year. I certainly appreciate working with everybody. It may not always be easy and we don’t always necessarily Page 4 of 139 Regular Public Council: Minutes December 10, 2019 agree but I think at the end of the day we manage to get the job done without being at each other’s throats; at least too much anyway. And thanks to staff for their assistance throughout the year. I certainly appreciate that. And personally I want to wish all the residents and staff and Council a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope that the holidays are good to everybody and I hope that everyone is safe around their planning and their travel to and from. 6.
