That Council direct Staff to amend the 2026 –2030 Financial Plan, after final adoption, to add a full time Senior Engineering Development Technician, including related costs, effective July 1, 2026, with funding provided from the Strategic Infrastructure Reserve Fund in 2026 and from property taxation beginning in 2027.
To Councillor Prino for Mr. Lindsey. Uh, thank you. I was just going to ask you Mr. Lindsey, now that you're back this week, I wanted to just check because this had come up and we did put emotion on the floor and I was concerned about doing this and what your thoughts were. In relation to whether or not we, number one, do we need it? And should we go with a senior versus the understudy? I think Mr. Holmes has answered a lot of it, but I just
wanted to worship. I absolutely, I believe that we need a position there. And I think like we talked about the TPC normally, we'd come forward with the business case. It would be more explore. You know, what was it? What's the best fit given council's direction at your GPC
meeting? My recommendation would be to proceed with the senior position. I think it gives us the most flexibility. Just nice knowing your background on that one. Thank you. And
Just, just your worship that. You know, we are just, um. Struggling to maintain all of the work that we get in, which is a success story. And if this helps to move things along and get those permits done faster, I'm just thrilled to hear it. And hopefully we'll find the right person and get it going faster. Thank
