Construction
Gee Bee Construction of Kipling will begin work shortly on a new residential subdivision south of Carlyle Avenue, at a cost of $1,056,075. This will include constructing roads, storm sewers, and water and sewer lines for 63 lots.
At the request of R.M. 63, Carlyle Town Council will gather estimates regarding the cost of putting a low-flow water system across Hwy #9 south.
Property and Parks
Council addressed the ongoing concern regarding all-terrain vehicles near Lions Park. The Town will soon be seeding grass in the area near the drainage ditch, and will be posting signs near the area. If this approach is not successful, council discussed other options, including the possibility of banning the use of all ATVs within town limits.
In an effort to address correspondence from residents concerned about the impact of the proposed walking path in Lions Park re: their privacy, as well as ecological concerns and worries about potential flooding, council agreed to forward the letters to the Carlyle and District Lions Club.
This year's property inspection report shows a marked improvement from last year, concerning the condition of properties within Carlyle from last year. However, many firepits do not meet the standard as stated in the town's bylaws.
Animal Complaints
In response to a verbal report of a child being bitten by a dog, council discussed the best way to improve the town's response to a dog complaint like this one. Council concluded that the best, most efficient way to respond to an incident like this is to immediately call the RCMP at 453-6707.
The town has also received numerous complaints regarding cat feces in Carlyle's play park, so will be putting out cat traps.
Fire
Alderman John Brownlee has resigned from his position as Carlyle's Deputy Fire Chief. Alderman Brian Romaniuk expressed his regret, saying,“You'll be missed.”
In response to a query regarding fire inspections, council stated that property fire inspections are carried out only at the town's request.
Medical
After attending the Sun Country Health Region's Estevan meeting, Councillor Brian Romaniuk informed council that the town of Fillmore was losing its doctor and a staff member who performs X-rays and does blood work. Fillmore has requested that a staff member travel from Arcola once a week to perform these (non-physician) duties until a replacement is found.
Rusty Relics Museum
The town has agreed to cover the cost of utilities for the Rusty Relics Museum, which it already does for similar community facilities, such as the library.
4G Coverage
SaskTel has informed the town that it intends to upgrade its 4G network in Carlyle, in an effort to provide additional 4G wireless coverage by the end of June 2015.
Conferences
Assistant administrator Carrie Pelletier will attend a “De-Escalating Violent Situations” workshop, June 25, in Regina.
