DECISIONS AND ISSUES
- The committee met from 6 to 7:53 p.m. Its approved minutes and registry contain EPW 23-07 through EPW 23-14. Four recommendations are substantive; the agenda, closed-session transitions and adjournment are procedural. No interests were declared in the minutes. The unanimous registry does not name each voter.
- Staff reported that Apex River pumps could not yet be installed while the river remained frozen, anticipated a leakage test around June 15 or 16, and discussed a backup diesel pump. Those were June 8 project updates, not a later finding about delivered water or capacity.
- EPW 23-08 recommended a $106,197.33 plus GST housekeeping-pad change order for the solid-waste facility. Staff said final Infrastructure Canada approval for additional funding had not arrived. EPW 23-09 recommended a $296,013.50 plus GST Apex Cemetery contract, with $144,523 plus GST of Phase 1 work in 2023. Council made the corresponding approvals on June 27; the recommendations were not awards by themselves.
- After discussing the cost of an outside dog-pound design, EPW 23-10 recommended an in-house design meeting animal-shelter and worker-safety standards and consultation with the Iqaluit Humane Society. Council separately directed staff on June 27. Neither motion proves a facility was built.
- EPW 23-11 recommended revised Section F municipal design guidelines for trucked water and sanitary service, effective when other by-laws were amended. Staff also discussed improved hydrant-test results after line repairs and a water model under development. The record does not establish the model's later conclusions.
