LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: MGA Section 65 The council shall adopt an operating budget and a capital budget for each fiscal year. RECOMMENDATION: That $177,000 be allocated in the 2021/22 water utility capital budget to replace 152 meters of Spring Street between Church Street and Croft Street. BACKGROUND: The current PASAR rating of Spring Street between Church and Croft is 6 out of a possible 10 which indicates resurfacing is required. As the water main is also required to be replaced it makes sense to carry out both of these projects at the same time. DISCUSSION: Once the main has been installed and put back into service the street subgrade will be excavated, re-built, and paved with new asphalt. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $177,000 to be included in the 2021/22 water utility capital budget. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: Prior to construction work taking place a public notification program will be undertaken. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: Replacing the street will have very little impact to the environment. SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPLICAITONS: There are no social justice implications to this decision. ALTERNATIVES: Do not undertake this project at this time. ATTACHMENTS: None Report prepared by: Ben Pitman Report and Financial approved by: Jason MacDonald, Deputy CAO 98 Victoria Street East, P.O.

RECOMMENDATION: That $175,000 be allocated in the 2021/22 Water Capital budget to replace the 2004 Dump Truck. BACKGROUND: The 2004 Dump Truck has reached the end of its useful life and has been taken out of service. The vehicle replacement plan indicates that this truck should have been replaced in 2016. Repair costs to keep this truck operating for the last 3 years were $10,328. DISCUSSION: Replacing this Dump Truck will enable the Town to continue to provide safe and reliable vehicles for our employees to carry out their duties. It will also improve operational efficiencies by replacing an aging unit with a new model reducing the likelihood of mechanical failure. This truck will be equipped to accept our slide in/out salt hopper which is currently installed on a 2010 Freightliner Dump Truck and will give us the ability to have a second truck equipped for the salt hopper minimizing down time in the event of mechanical breakdown of either unit. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $175,000 to be included in the 2021/22 Water Capital budget COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: No community engagement has been contemplated as this time. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: With advances in technology over the last 16 years a new truck will have improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions as compared to older trucks. ALTERNATIVES: Do not approve the replacement of the dump truck at this time.

RECOMMENDATION: That $30,000 be allocated in the 2021/22 general capital budget and $30,000 be allocated in the water capital budget to purchase and replace the 8 existing overhead doors at the Public Works garage. BACKGROUND: The existing doors were installed in the mid 1980’s and are in need of replacement. Repair costs over the last 3 years total $7169.75 and sourcing parts to repair these doors is becoming increasingly difficult. There are four overhead doors in both the Water Utility side and the Streets / Sewer side of the building. DISCUSSION: This request focuses on ensuring that the Public Works garage overhead doors provide an effective barrier to the elements and are reliable and safe. Presently, these overhead doors provide poor insulation for the building resulting in heat loss.
