1:23:19along and the next one in front of us here hold on a second okay we're at the consent

1:23:34portion of the agenda and so that is i'm going to just yell them out here so paramedic services

1:23:41first quarter 2025 budget variance report again if anyone wants any of this just just put your hand

1:23:47up and yell at me here paramedic service response performance 2024 and performance plan recommendation

1:23:53for 2026 we also have the administrative penalty system for the automated speed enforcement and

1:24:00red light camera violations i have one question on that so just one nothing to further it but just

1:24:06one question um would some of you willing to just uh actually do you mind council if i just ask my one

1:24:13question on that and then we can maybe look to thank you so much i this is a takeaway because i feel

1:24:19very bad for forgetting to tell you in advance that i was going to ask this question i just wondered

1:24:24if as a takeaway you could get back to us is there a way of having the speed enforcement cameras

1:24:31when they are moved to new areas or new ones are added that for a time being it is only a warning

1:24:41that is sent out and not a ticket i have seen some communities start to talk about that and so they

1:24:49still get the the sort of scare in the mail the mail comes to the house and they open it up and they

1:24:54see the picture and they know they've done something wrong but instead of an automatic

1:24:59financial penalty it is like a warning and i just wondered if you could explore that for another time

1:25:07but maybe get back to council just with an answer on that it's just a that's all that's all i'm asking

1:25:13to you mr mayor so i will take that back i will just note though whenever we do put up

1:25:18any sort of automated speed cameras or the light red light cameras we do put

1:25:24there's a lot of notice periods in terms of signage and advertising so this yeah it's it's

1:25:31it shouldn't be a surprise that they're there but i'll certainly take back the ability to

1:25:35send out a warning as opposed to a ticket at the beginning and i'll let i'll let council know okay

1:25:40i appreciate that thank you council for letting me ask that question that was it on that so would

1:25:45someone be willing to move consent for me uh alt and uh richardson great and if there's nothing

1:25:51more i'll call the vote then is there anyone against no okay so that passes on consent thank you
