Council considers ARU show home, $101,000 sewage station contract

North Grenville’s council faced a packed agenda at its June 23 meeting, including a proposed accessory residential unit (ARU) show home on the Kemptville Campus and a $101,000 contract for sewage pumping station upgrades. The meeting was one of two substantive sessions in the past two weeks, with minutes yet to be published for all gatherings.

Council Meeting – June 23

Council was asked to award Contract NG26-23 to Black and McDonald for $101,000 to upgrade the Equinelle Sewage Pumping Station. The agenda also proposed allocating $8,700 from the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Fund, divided among three initiatives: $2,700 for Rainbow Nights, $3,000 for an Empowering Women Workshop, and $3,000 for an EDI board game.

A sole-source contract with CABN was put forward for a proposed ARU build on the Kemptville Campus. If approved, the project would serve as a show home for the additional residential unit model. Council also considered extending Interim Control By-law 49-25 for another year on municipally serviced lands and adopting a Sponsorship Fund Policy for the Parks, Recreation and Culture department. No vote tallies or final outcomes are available, as meeting minutes have not been released.
