Committee of Management for the Elliott

14:12Good afternoon everyone. I'm going to call together the Committee of Management for the Elliott

14:20here on today on December 2nd. And I'd like to note that we have our guests here in person today

14:28from the Elliott CEO Michelle Karker and Martin Rowe, the Chief of Residential Care Services and

14:38Administrator. Did I say that right? Right Martin? Did I say that? Great thanks.

14:45And first I'll ask if there's any disclosure of pecuniary interest. Seeing none. Can I have

14:55confirmation of the minutes from the September 3rd meeting? Councillor Bousatel moves. Is there a

15:02seconder? Councillor Allt. Are there any questions? Seeing none I'll go right to the question.

15:11Is anyone opposed? Okay seeing none that passes. Okay the first the first and only item really is

15:19the Elliott Long-Term Care Residential Quarterly Report. Yeah with the recommendations are there

15:25any questions of the staff or Michelle or Martin did you want to say anything right at the beginning?

15:37A couple of things. There's nothing really to highlight as exceptional in the report

15:44but we're welcome any questions or comments. We did just want to highlight in the financial section

15:52on the back page just that we are showing a surplus in our OAA envelope and we just wanted

15:58to provide some clarity on why that is. So as you know we receive our funding through four

16:05different funding streams through the ministry. For this fiscal year we've deferred a number of

16:11large capital items as we reevaluate based on a recent building assessment. As an example

16:18elevators. The elevators in all three of our buildings are aging and so infrastructure

16:24challenges have just caused us to take a pause and determine where we might need to

16:29put some money put some capital. So that's why that is showing that way. So I just wanted to

16:35provide clarity there. Okay thank you. Are there any questions? Councillor Boussatelle.

16:44Thank you. So just to clarify around the surplus are you able to roll 100% of that forward into the

16:51next funding year? So thank you. It depends which funding stream it comes in through. In most cases

17:01we have to return any surplus except for other accommodation. That's the only surplus area that

17:08we can utilize. Okay. Are there any other questions? Councillor Allt? Councillor Allt? I think we have

17:33a connection problem. Oh there it is. Okay. You have a quick. It's a very, very quick one and it's

17:42not financial in nature but through you to the presenters if this is appropriate.

17:53Causing concerns about seasonal outbreaks of x, y or z. I was wondering if it would be possible to

18:00either comment or provide a memo to council on how to respond to those. Thanks for the question

18:10through you through you chair. So we have a very solid ipac or infection prevention and control

18:18strategy in place to manage any kind of seasonal outbreaks. Any of the respiratory outbreaks,

18:24any other outbreaks, gastro, etc. We have a pretty tight process around all of those things. I'm happy

18:31to provide details but I would want to rest assure a sure council that we're fully compliant with

18:39ipac standards. And thank you. Really I wasn't fishing. I'm just hoping that you would actually

18:46respond as you did. I appreciate that and that will give many people a sense of confidence.

18:53Thank you very much. Okay thank you. Any further questions? I don't have any but you know again

19:02congratulations on the butterfly accreditation with the highest level of accreditation for

19:09the implementation. So that's again congratulations there and glad to see you. We're still working

19:16along on your second floor also the that you're exceeding the provincial requirement of four direct

19:21hours of care per residence per day. So that's that's also good news for the high quality of care

19:28that people are getting at the aliet. I would then ask for somebody to put the motion on the

19:36floor. Councillor Allt is there a seconder? Councillor Hauser? Any further questions? Comments?

19:42Seeing none. All those against? That carries. And are there any announcements from the aliet staff?

19:58To you Chair Downer and the the rest of council just wanted to know that today is Giving Tuesday

20:05and the aliet community has launched its transforming together campaign. All the

20:12information is available on our website. You can follow the link under the transforming campaign of

20:17where a wishbook has been created on how and where the funds will be going to help us transform

20:26the space and the environment of the transformation we just spoke about with the butterfly in person

20:32centered care. So if you'd like more information please check out our website. It's also been

20:38posted on social media as well. Okay thank you. And are there any staff announcements?

20:49Okay thank you. So just the only other thing to say is wishing everyone at the aliet

20:57all the best for the holiday seasons from the city of Guelph and to the aliet community. So I would

21:04look for a motion of adjournment. Councillor Busatel seconded by Councillor Keaton. Are there

21:09any objections? That passes. Thank you. This adjourned.
