Greater Napanee meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Greater Napanee agendas list storage-project capacity increase, $13,605.20 snowplow request

Three Town of Greater Napanee meetings were scheduled in the past two weeks, and the agendas for all three list items for discussion rather than outcomes. Minutes have not yet been published for any of them, so the supplied records do not establish what, if anything, was decided.

The most consequential items appear on the agenda for the Regular Session Council meeting of Oct. 13: a proposed increase in the maximum project capacity for the Quinte Energy Storage Centre, and a proposed single-source purchase of snow removal equipment.

Quinte Energy Storage Centre: 500 MW to 650 MW proposed

Council's Oct. 13 agenda lists a proposed amendment to a support resolution for the Quinte Energy Storage Centre that would raise the maximum project capacity from 500 MW to 650 MW. The agenda describes the item as a proposal; the supplied record does not show whether it was considered, voted on, or approved.

MW stands for megawatt, a unit of electrical capacity.

Snowplow purchase proposed at $13,605.20 plus HST

The same agenda lists a proposed single-source procurement of an Aebi Schmidt 673 Series snowplow for Truck 17-18, at a cost of $13,605.20 plus HST. "Single-source" means buying from one specified supplier rather than through a competitive process. The figure is a proposed procurement amount on an agenda, not a confirmed payment.

Council's Oct. 13 agenda also lists review of minutes from Sept. 22 and Sept. 29, 2026, and an information report regarding Meadow Lane. The supplied summary does not describe the contents of that report.

Buttermilk Falls Rd. severance application

The Committee of Adjustment, also scheduled for Oct. 13, was to consider application PLCOR 2025 038, a proposal to sever a 0.9 hectare lot on Buttermilk Falls Rd. The applicant is listed as Walter Lloyd. The agenda also included adoption of the agenda and minutes from the committee's Aug. 25, 2026 meeting.

A severance divides an existing parcel of land into separate lots. The supplied record does not indicate whether the application was granted, refused, deferred, or held over.

Heritage committee term wrap-up

The Municipal Heritage Committee was scheduled to meet Oct. 15 to discuss the conclusion of its current term. The agenda consists primarily of procedural items and general information sharing, according to the supplied summary. No substantive items are listed.

What the record does and does not show

All three meetings are recorded as agenda-only, with minutes not yet published. That means the summaries above reflect what was scheduled for discussion, not what was decided. No vote tallies, resolutions, or approvals appear in the supplied material. The absence of published minutes is not evidence that an item was dropped or that no action was taken; it means the outcome is not yet documented in the records provided.

Residents seeking the outcome of any item should consult the official agenda and minutes published by the Town of Greater Napanee, which are the authoritative record.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings were listed in the supplied data for the next 14 days. Readers should check the Town of Greater Napanee's published meeting calendar for any sessions scheduled after Oct. 26, 2026.

Greater Napanee agendas take up energy storage capacity, snowplow purchase and a Buttermilk Falls Rd. severance

Greater Napanee's council and committees were scheduled to take up a proposed increase in the Quinte Energy Storage Centre's maximum capacity, a single-source snowplow purchase and a land severance on Buttermilk Falls Rd. over the past two weeks. As of Oct. 19, minutes had not been published for any of the six meetings listed, so no decisions, votes or outcomes are confirmed in the records available. What follows is what each body was scheduled to consider.

Council: energy storage capacity and a snowplow

At its regular session on Oct. 13, council was to discuss an amendment to a support resolution for the Quinte Energy Storage Centre that would raise the project's maximum capacity from 500 MW to 650 MW. The item was listed as a proposed increase; the agenda does not record a decision.

The same agenda included a proposed single-source procurement of an Aebi Schmidt 673 Series snowplow for Truck 17-18, at $13,605.20 plus HST. Council was also to review minutes from Sept. 22 and Sept. 29, 2026, and receive an information report regarding Meadow Lane.

Land severance on Buttermilk Falls Rd.

The Committee of Adjustment, also meeting Oct. 13, was to consider application PLCOR 2025 038, a proposal to sever a 0.9 hectare lot on Buttermilk Falls Rd. The applicant is listed as Walter Lloyd. The rest of that agenda was procedural, including adoption of the agenda and minutes from the Aug. 25, 2026 meeting.

Market Square: construction drawings, costs and timelines

The Market Square Advisory Committee met Oct. 8 to review construction drawings, cost estimates and timelines from Bel-Con. Members were also scheduled to discuss the status of the Rotary Covered Market Structure and its promotional sign, and to consider project recommendations for a new Market Square Advisory Committee mandate. No figures were included in the agenda summary.

Recreation: arena accessibility and tourism

The Recreation Advisory Committee met Oct. 7 with two items listed: accessibility at the Best and Bash Arena, and tourism amenities. The committee was also to review minutes from its July 20, 2026 meeting.

Arts Awards planning

The Arts Advisory Committee met Oct. 6 at 5:30 PM at 99 Advance Avenue. The only substantive item was planning for the 2026/2027 Arts Awards. The remainder of the agenda was procedural: adopting the agenda, approving minutes from the Sept. 14, 2026 meeting, subcommittee updates, other business and adjournment. No decisions on contracts, fees or zoning were scheduled.

Heritage committee term wrap-up

The Municipal Heritage Committee met Oct. 15 to discuss the conclusion of its current term. The agenda consisted primarily of procedural items and general information sharing.

Coming up

The meeting schedule provided for the next 14 days lists no upcoming meetings, so there is nothing to flag for attendance in that window. Readers who want to confirm whether sessions have been added, or to check whether minutes for the October meetings have since been posted, should consult the Town of Greater Napanee's official agenda and minutes page, which is the authoritative record.

Greater Napanee agenda lists $273,416.77 soccer field work order; no decisions recorded yet

Greater Napanee Council's Sept. 29 special session agenda listed a $273,416.77 work order with Bel-Con Design-Builders Ltd. for soccer field revitalization. Minutes from that meeting have not been published, so the record does not show whether council approved the item or how members voted. The same is true of every recent meeting in this roundup: all were agenda-only, and no votes or outcomes are recorded in the material available.

Soccer field work order

The special session was scheduled for Sept. 29, 2026 at 2:30 PM in Council Chambers at Town Hall, 124 John Street, Napanee. The agenda listed work order No. Can2-Bel-014-GC with Bel-Con Design-Builders Ltd. for $273,416.77 excluding taxes, with an additional $73,416.77 plus taxes funded from the Atura BESS Phase 2 Community Benefit Fund.

Other items on the Sept. 29 agenda

• **Centre Street reconstruction:** authorize staff to proceed with a public tender and return to council with a tender award recommendation.

• **Arts Advisory Committee (Oct. 6, 5:30 PM, 99 Advance Avenue):** Art Awards planning was the only substantive item. The rest of the agenda was procedural, including adoption of the agenda and approval of the Sept. 14, 2026 minutes. No decisions on contracts, fees, or zoning were scheduled.

Napanee council's closed session on land sale, HR report tops recent meeting agenda

Greater Napanee council held a special session Aug. 11 with a closed-door discussion of a confidential land sale and a human resources report, according to the agenda. The meeting also included adoption of a by-law to confirm proceedings. Two committees met later in the week on waste diversion and the Market Square floor plan.

Special council session

The Aug. 11 special session agenda included a motion to move into closed session to discuss the sale of the Former Suddard Lands (SR-1434-2026) and a confidential human resources report (SR-1433-2026). Following the closed session, the council was scheduled to report in general terms and pass By-law No. 2026-0064 to confirm the meeting's proceedings. Minutes have not yet been published, so no decisions from the session are available.

Waste Diversion Committee

Greater Napanee council set to weigh zoning changes, Official Plan amendment; committee minutes still pending

Council agenda includes zoning amendments and Official Plan adoption

Greater Napanee Council's July 28 regular session was scheduled to consider several land-use items, though minutes have not yet been published and no outcomes are confirmed.

The agenda listed a public hearing on a zoning amendment for 256-268 Newburgh Road that would permit two primary dwelling units on one lot. A separate zoning amendment for 3402 County Road 11, filed as PLZACO 2026 016, was also on the agenda.

Council was also scheduled to adopt Official Plan Amendment No. 53 via By-law 2026-0060. Because minutes are not yet available, the adoption and the vote tally cannot be confirmed.

Other council agenda items

Two additional items appeared on the July 28 agenda: a proposed floor plan for a new community space inside Town Hall, and a proposed policy to plant two new trees for every healthy tree removed from Town property. Neither item's outcome is recorded yet.

Recreation Advisory Committee

The Recreation Advisory Committee met July 20 to review its June 2026 minutes, discuss updates on council's response to the committee's safety recommendations, and explore ideas for its next mandate. No formal decisions were listed on the agenda. Minutes have not yet been published.

Trail Development Advisory Committee

The Trail Development Advisory Committee met July 22 at Town Hall, 124 John Street. The agenda called for adopting the agenda, electing a chair and vice-chair, and discussing the 2026 workplan for trail development projects. Minutes have not yet been published, so the election results and workplan details are not confirmed.

What this means for residents

The zoning amendments and Official Plan adoption, if approved, could affect what property owners are allowed to build on the identified lots and shape broader land-use policy in Greater Napanee. The proposed tree-replacement policy, if adopted, would set a new standard for how the Town manages trees on its own property. Residents interested in these outcomes should watch for the published council minutes, which will confirm what was decided and how members voted.

Coming up

No meetings are listed on the Town's calendar for the next 14 days. Residents are encouraged to check the Greater Napanee website for any newly posted agendas or schedule changes.

Greater Napanee council agenda covers development charges, waste site trailer, and council pay

Greater Napanee's Regular Session Council met July 14 to weigh several administrative and financial items, including a development charges update, a used office trailer for the Roblin Waste Disposal Site, and a proposed increase to base council salary. Minutes from that meeting and two committee sessions later in the week have not yet been published, so it is not yet possible to confirm which items were formally decided.

Council Session — July 14

The council agenda listed five items for review or approval:

• **Development Charges Update Study** and an amendment to By-law No. 2022-0059. Development charges are fees paid by new construction to help fund municipal infrastructure.
• **Purchase of a used ATCO office trailer for $23,000** for the Roblin Waste Disposal Site, plus **site preparation using $17,000 from the waste reserve**.
• **Proposed increase to base Council salary** to align with the 50th percentile of comparator municipalities.
• **Approval in principle to transfer St. Alban's Cemetery lands and license to the Town at no cost.**
• Administrative updates including a new excess soil policy, an amendment to the Maltby lease, and an update to the encampment educational process.

Because minutes are not yet available, the outcome of each item — including any vote tallies — cannot be reported at this time.

Waste Diversion Committee — July 15

The Waste Diversion Committee agenda included a tour of the Waste Management Recycling Facility and a discussion of recycling bins and information sheets. The committee was also set to review a comparison of organics programs across 12 similar-sized towns and discuss a "Green Starts at Home / Green Awareness Day" initiative.

No minutes have been published, so no decisions or recommendations can be confirmed.

Market Square Advisory Committee — July 16

The Market Square Advisory Committee agenda focused on design work for the new community space at 124 John St. Items listed for review included:

• Floor plan recommendations and alternative options.
• Design updates and colour selections from the Bel-Con team.
• Glass etching ideas for historical landmarks.
• Sharing design updates with the Arts and Heritage committee.

Again, minutes are not yet published, so the committee's recommendations cannot be confirmed.

What this means for residents

The development charges study and by-law amendment could affect how much new home and business construction pays toward local infrastructure. The Roblin Waste Disposal Site trailer purchase and site preparation — totaling $40,000 combined ($23,000 for the trailer, $17,000 from the waste reserve for site prep) — relate to operations at that facility. The proposed council salary increase and the St. Alban's Cemetery land transfer are both items residents may want to follow once minutes are available.

Coming up

No meetings are listed for the next 14 days. Residents should watch the Town of Greater Napanee's official website for newly posted minutes from the July 14, 15, and 16 sessions, which will confirm what was actually decided.

Greater Napanee council weighs development charges, building upgrades, and tree removal opposition

Greater Napanee's Regular Session Council met June 23 to consider a Development Charges Background Study, a $58,440 building automation replacement, year-end reserve transfers, and a motion opposing removal of mature oak trees on County Road 9. Minutes from the meeting have not yet been published, so outcomes of these items are not yet confirmed.

Council session: Development Charges and capital items

Council held a public meeting to hear comments on the Development Charges Background Study update. Development charges are fees levied on new development to help fund growth-related infrastructure.

Also on the agenda was a proposed $58,440 building automation system replacement at 99 Advance Avenue, and the transfer of year-end surplus funds: $166,670 to the Solid Waste Reserve and $243,581 to the Winter Control Reserve. A motion opposing removal of mature oak trees on County Road 9 was scheduled to be introduced. Council was also asked to approve a Block Party Kick Off community event.

Because minutes are not yet available, it is not confirmed which of these items were approved, amended, or deferred.

Market Square Advisory Committee

The committee was also set to vote on a minor variance for 237 Newburgh Road to reduce the rear yard setback from 5 metres to 2.5 metres for a childcare centre. Adoption of the May 26, 2026 minutes was also on the agenda.

Outcomes are not yet confirmed pending publication of minutes.

On June 24, the Waste Diversion Committee reviewed its 2026 objectives approved by council, discussed draft updates to waste disposal site brochures, and considered plans for a Compost Awareness Day at Market Square. Recycling bin resources and resident information goals were also discussed.

Greater Napanee Council reviews development charges, $58K building system upgrade

Greater Napanee council held a public meeting on its Development Charges Background Study update during a regular session June 23, and advisory committees looked at a land severance, daycare setback variance, Market Square design and waste diversion plans. Meeting minutes were not yet available for any of the sessions, which means final votes or decisions could not be confirmed.

Council agenda includes reserve transfers, tree motion

Council was scheduled to consider a $58,440 building automation system replacement at 99 Advance Avenue and two year-end surplus transfers: $166,670 to the Solid Waste Reserve and $243,581 to the Winter Control Reserve. A motion opposing removal of mature oak trees on County Road 9 was also on the table, as was approval of a Block Party Kick Off community event. The public meeting portion collected comments on the proposed development charges study, which sets the fees developers pay for growth-related infrastructure.

Committee of Adjustment weighs land severance, daycare variance

The Committee of Adjustment had a land severance application (PLCOR 2026 007) to create a 2-hectare lot on McDonalds Lane, subject to a well pump test, water quality testing and parkland cash-in-lieu. A separate minor variance at 237 Newburgh Road would reduce the rear yard setback from five metres to 2.5 metres to accommodate a childcare centre.

The Market Square Advisory Committee met with the Bel-Con design team to review preliminary ground-floor plans. Discussions covered accessibility, washrooms, storage, entrance corridors, a coffee bar and the main event space layout.
