>> Mayor Guthrie: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JUST BEFORE WE GO AND DO OUR MOMENT OF SILENT REFLECTION, IT'S IMPORTANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT TODAY IS ALSO A DAY TO REMEMBER FOR MOURNING FOR VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ESPECIALLY WITH THE MASSACRE THAT HAPPENED SO MANY YEARS AGO AND IT'S SOMETHING I THINK IS IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE FOR A MOMENT BEFORE WE GO INTO SILENT REFLECTION. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE NORMALLY THIS TIME OF YEAR THERE'S NORMALLY A VIGIL WE KNOW THAT'S HAPPENING IN THE AND RECOGNITION OF THAT HORRIBLE JUST BEFORE I START IN THIS SILENT REFLECTION, I'D LIKE TO ASK COUNCILLOR O'ROURKE BECAUSE SHE'S EXTREMELY GOOD AT FRENCH AND I AM NOT >> Mayor Guthrie: TO PLEASE LISTEN TO THE NAMES OF THE WOMEN THAT WERE AND FROM THAT MAYBE THAT WILL FOCUS US A LITTLE BIT FOR OUR SILENT

SO, COUNCILLOR O'ROURKE, OVER TO

>> WHO WERE ALL MURDERED ON DECEMBER

>> Mayor Guthrie: THANK YOU SO MUCH, SO WITH THAT, LET'S TAKE A MOMENT OF SILENT REFLECTION BEFORE WE CONTINUE

FOR OUR FIRST NATIONS ACKNOWLEDGMENT. AS WE GATHER WE ARE ARE REMINDED THAT GUELPH IS ON TREATY LAND SEEPED IN RICH INDIGENOUS HISTORY AND HOME TO MANY FIRST NATIONS, INUIT, AND MÉTIS AS A CITY WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE STEWARDSHIP OF THE LAND WE LIVE AND WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE ANISHINAABEK PEOPLES ON WHOSE TRADITIONAL TERRITORY ANY DISCLOSURE OF PECUNIARY OR GENERAL NATURE THERE OF FOR THIS

>> MY HUSBAND WAS -- HE IS TRYING TO GET A

JUST SO YOU KNOW THAT WAS DISCLOSED BY COUNCILLOR KLASSEN BEFORE WE WENT INTO CLOSED SESSION WHEN WE WERE DISCUSSING THE JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS COUNCILLOR KLASSEN REMOVED HERSELF FROM THE DISCUSSION

WITH THAT I NEED TO KIND OF CLOSE-UP WHAT HAPPENED WITHIN THE CLOSED SO AS WAS DISCUSSED ON OUR OPEN AGENDA, WE DID HAVE GOING IN FOR BASICALLY WHAT'S CALLED THAT'S WHAT THAT ENTIRE DISCUSSION SO IT'S NO SURPRISE NOW BECAUSE WE'RE COMING OUT TO ACTUALLY LOOK TO FORMALLY IN OPEN SESSION APPOINT ALL THOSE PEOPLE IF THAT'S COUNCIL'S WILL. AT THIS TIME WITH THE CLERK'S INDULGENCE I LOOK TO YOU TO HELP FACILITATE THAT

AND THROUGH TO COUNCIL AND THE WE'LL PULL UP SLIDES, CONTROL PERIODICALLY, AND THEN THERE WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE VOTE JUST FOR THE BENEFIT, IT WAS COUNCILLOR YES, COUNCILLOR DOWNER AND COUNCILLOR O'ROURKE THAT MOVED THE RISE AND REPORT OF THESE I SUGGEST THEY BE THE ONES TO MOVE THE OPEN RECOMMENDATIONS TO FORMALLY MAKE

THERE IS NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST FOR COUNCILLOR KLASSEN OUT HERE JUST

IS THERE A MOTION HERE FROM COUNCIL FOR WE WILL NOT BE HERE ALL NIGHT SAYING >> Mayor Guthrie: WOULD SOMEONE

IS THERE ANYTHING FURTHER ON THIS BEFORE I CALL I SEE NOTHING ON THE SCREEN AND NOTHING YOU KNOW WHAT, YES, YOU WANT TO MAKE IF YOU DON'T MIND I'LL DO SOMETHING A LITTLE LET'S VOTE AND THEN I'LL GO TO

JUST A QUICK COMMENT THEN FROM COUNCILLOR O'ROURKE I WANT TO THANK THE CLERK'S OFFICE AND EVERYONE WHO PUT THEIR NAMES FORWARD IT'S IMPORTANT PUBLIC INPUT TO I FIND THAT THE NAMES THAT CAME FORWARD AND THE FINAL LIST ARE MUCH MORE DIVERSE THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO. IT'S INDICATIVE OF THE OUTREACH THAT'S BEEN SO WE ARE STRONGER IN THAT DIVERSITY.

WE'RE STARTING TO LEARN A LITTLE BIT HERE ABOUT THE CLERK NOT BEING RIGHT

THE SECOND ONE BECAUSE IT WAS SEPARATED OUT WAS SO I'M GOING TO ASK FOR THE HERITAGE WOULD SOMEONE BE WILLING TO MOVE THE HERITAGE

AND AS NOTED WITH COUNCILLOR KLASSEN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. YES, GO AHEAD, COUNCILLOR GOLLER.

SO NOW BEAR WITH ME, EVERYBODY. GOTTA GO BACK TO ANOTHER SCREEN HERE.

NOW, WE ARE GONNA STRIKE THE POSITIONS FOR ALL OF US FOR A MOMENT HERE ON THE BOARDS THAT WE HAVE, THE CHAIR'S WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS I'D LIKE TO...

WE'RE GONNA START WITH THE RECOMMENDATION FOR

ARE WE GOING TO HAVE THAT ON THE >> YES, THROUGH YOU MR. MAYOR AND TO THE REST OF WE CAN PUT UP THE NAMES OF INDIVIDUALS WHO PUT THEIR NAMES, THE MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, WHO PUT THEIR NAME FOR CHAIRS AND DO IT IN

WE CAN PURSUE EITHER PATH THAT >> Mayor Guthrie: I THINK SO FAR

YOU KNOW, I'M JUST GOING TO DO IT THIS I'M GOING TO DO IT ONE-ON-ONE. WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE THE CHAIR FOR

AND IS THERE SOMEBODY WHO WOULD LIKE TO PUT THEIR NAME FORWARD FOR

IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EITHER CHAIR OR VICE CHAIR?

SO I JUST NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE THOSE

WE'RE GOING TO GO TO CORPORATE WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE, PUT THEIR HAND UP FOR

WE HAVE BOTH COUNCILLOR BUSUTTIL AND -- CAN I HAVE A MOVER FOR APPROVAL

IS ANYONE NOT IN FAVOUR OF THAT?

AND SO WHAT WE'LL DO NOW IS WE'LL GO

AS YOU ARE BOTH RUNNING FOR THAT POSITION, I WILL GIVE YOU A COUPLE OF MINUTES TOPS EACH JUST TO EXPLAIN WHY YOU THINK YOU SHOULD AND I'LL GO WITH YOU, COUNCILLOR

I AM A PROJECT MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE TRAINED PROJECT MANAGER OF 18 YEARS WHERE I RAN BUDGETS, RESOURCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT AND PROCESS FOR I HAVE 22 EXPERIENCE IN TECHNOLOGIES INCLUDING DIRECTOR OF WEB DEVELOPMENT OF MINE TECHNOLOGIES, SENIOR ENGINEERING AT APPLE VRNG AND A STARTUP DOING HR AND RAN CUSTOMER SEVERS AND THIS COMPANY WAS THEN ACQUIRED BY I AM CHAIR OF THE [ Indiscernible ] >> ACCESSIBILITY ADVISORY COUNCIL OF

ON THE BOARD OF CALIFORNIA HEALTH I THINK I WOULD BE AN ASSET TO CORPORATE I'M VERY INTERESTED IN HELPING THE NEW WEBSITE AS WE ARE GOING TO BE REDOING THAT

>> Mayor Guthrie: THANK YOU VERY COUNCILLOR BUSUTTIL, GO AHEAD. AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE ROLE AS WELL. AFTER 16 YEARS IN PUBLIC SECTOR EDUCATION, I THINK WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO BRING IS NOT TO DO THE JOB OF STAFF BUT TO BRING A LENS AND THERE ARE THREE AREAS OF STRENGTH THAT I HUMAN RESOURCES, THE BROADER PUBLIC SECTOR, LEGISLATION, BOARD, COMMITTEES, ALL THAT

THE OTHER AREA IS THE UPPER GRAND DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD HAS A FINANCIAL I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN AUDIT AND SIMILAR TO MUNICIPALITIES, SCHOOL BOARDS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A BALANCED BUDGET. I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH ALL THE LEGISLATION AROUND THE LAST ONE IS THAT I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT BEING PART OF THE MANY YEARS AGO I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR CENTRAL WEST ONTARIO AROUND HEALTH SECTOR TRAINING AROUND HUMAN RESOURCES AND THE SKILLS FOR THE ENTIRE CENTRAL WEST INCLUDING LONG-TERM CARE SO, AGAIN, I'M NOT THERE TO DO IT BUT TO ASK QUESTIONS AND TO BRING SOME OF MY PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS LIKE I'VE DONE THROUGH THE ONTARIO PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION AROUND LABOUR SHORTAGES FOR FRENCH TEACHERS OR FRENCH STAFF THROUGH THE LABOUR MARKET AND EVEN THINGS LIKE A SHORTAGE OF SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS AND LOOKING AT EXISTING POLICIES AND HOW TO MAKE THAT EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY FOR

SO I MEAN THE WAY THIS WORKS, THE I GUESS I'LL MAYBE JUST GO IN REVERSE I'LL JUST SAY IS THERE SOMEONE THAT WOULD

>> MY QUESTION IS THE VICE CHAIR'S WILL SIT ON THE COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT OF THE IF SOMEONE IS VICE CHAIR ON TWO COMMITTEES, ARE WE SHORT A PERSON ON THE COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT

>> YES, THROUGH YOU, MR. MAYOR, TO COUNCILLOR O'ROURKE. THE THOUGHT PROCESS GOING INTO THIS IS IF TWO INDIVIDUALS WERE APPOINTED AS VICE CHAIRS AND THERE WAS A NEED TO APPOINT SOMEONE ELSE, WE WOULD WORK THROUGH THAT AS COUNCIL WORKS THROUGH MOTION 1 UNDER COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT FOR THE THERE MAY BE A NEED TO AMEND THAT MOTION TO APPOINT ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL FROM COUNCIL TO SERVE GIVEN A DUAL APPOINTMENT OF VICE AND FURTHER TO THAT, THE -- NO, IT'S THE NO, IT WAS THE VICE CHAIR QUESTION. >> Mayor Guthrie: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WHAT I'LL DO IS THIS, I WILL ASK IS THERE SOMEONE THAT WOULD MOVE THAT COUNCILLOR BUSUTTIL BE THE VICE CHAIR AT THIS TIME?

SO WE'LL JUST SEE HOW THIS VOTE GOES I'LL THOSE IN FAVOUR, I'M GOING TO ASK FOR PLEASE SHOW HANDS FOR COUNCILLOR BUSUTTIL.

AND SO BY DEFAULT, WE'LL STILL DO COUNCILLOR CATON, CAN I SOMEONE PLEASE NOMINATE. WE HAVE COUNCILLOR BILLINGS AND IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE ON THIS ISSUE?

SO WE HAVE A VICE CHAIR FOR CORPORATE

INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT AND I BELIEVE COUNCILLOR O'ROURKE I BELIEVE YOU WERE STILL

NO ONE ELSE IS INTERESTED, THOUGH? ANYONE FROM THE AUDIENCE INTERESTED? SO IT'S BEEN MOVED BY COUNCILLOR GIBSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILLOR

AND WHAT ABOUT VICE CHAIR FOR I HAVE COUNCILLOR KLASSEN THAT WAS INTERESTED IN THAT POSITION FOR IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT'S INTERESTED? CAN I HAVE SOMEONE MOVE COUNCILLOR COUNCILLOR GIBSON WILL SECOND COUNCILLOR

AND WE'RE GOOD TO KEEP MOVING

SO COUNCILLOR DOWNER HAS BEEN MOVED BY COUNCILLOR BILLINGS, SECONDED BY

HOW ABOUT VICE CHAIR FOR PUBLIC WE HAVE A COUNCILLOR CHEW WHO IS INTERESTED ANYONE ELSE INTERESTED IN VICE

WE ARE AT NOW THE ART GALLERY OF

THAT WOULD BE O'ROURKE IS INTERESTED

THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER COMMITTEE ON COUNCIL.

THE LAST TIME IT MET WAS ONCE IN EIGHT

WE'LL GO RICHARDSON WHO IS INTERESTED.

DOES ANYONE WANT TO MOVE THE MOTION FOR THE

I THOUGHT I HAD MY NAME FORWARD FOR >> Mayor Guthrie: YOU KNOW WHAT, I HAD MY IPAD ACCIDENTLY COVERING A LITTLE BIT OF

>> Mayor Guthrie: THERE'S A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE WHO WANT TO WITHDRAW FOR YOU, COUNCILLOR BUSUTTIL.

WHO IS GOING TO MOVE THOSE FIVE NAMES THAT WOULD BE ALLT WHO IS MOVING THAT. KLASSEN IS SECONDING THAT WITH THE NEW

>> Mayor Guthrie: CAN YOU SAY THAT ONE

AND THEN WE HAVE I NEED TO CALL

COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT FOR THE ELLIOT.

SO RIGHT NOW THE SERVICE AREA OF VICE COUNCILLOR BUSUTTIL, COUNCILLOR CATON, COUNCILLOR KLASSEN, COUNCILLOR CHEW WOULD ALL SERVE ALONG WITH THE BOARD OF COUNCILLOR O'ROURKE AND THE SERVICE AREA CHAIR OF PUBLIC SERVICES BEING COUNCILLOR

SO WE'RE OKAY WITH -- YES, GO >> SO IN THE REPORT, IT DOES STATE ALSO

>> THROUGH YOU, MR. MAYOR, MAYOR GUTHRIE DOES HOLD IT BEING THE NATURE

THE SEVENTH IN ADDITION IS MAYOR GUTHRIE.

MY NAME WAS LISTED BUT I AM NOT A VICE CHAIR

YOU PUT YOUR NAME FORWARD FOR AUDIT AND WE

COULD YOU PLEASE SAY THE NAMES >> THE COMPOSITION OF THE COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT THROUGH YOU, MR. MAYOR, FOR THE ELLIOT IS AMENDED TO INCLUDE VICE CHAIRS OF CORPORATE SERVICES, IDE, GOVERNANCE BEING MAYOR GUTHRIE AND AUDIT, THE SERVICE AREA CHAIR FOR PUBLIC SERVICES, AND THE COUNCIL APPOINTEE TO THE BOARD I CAN LIST THE NAMES OUT SPECIFICALLY IF YOU'D

I UNDERSTOOD THAT GOVERNANCE AUDIT

WE DO NEED A VOTE TO AMEND THAT COMPOSITION. BUT IF YOU LOOK ON THE AGENDA, THE COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT FOR THE ELLIOT IS THE ONE MOTION FOLLOWING THE BUSINESS

CAN I HAVE A MOVER FOR THAT THEN, THANK YOU, COUNCILLOR KLASSEN.

ARE THERE TWO PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE WILLING

JUST TO CLARIFY, ONE MEMBER OF COUNCIL SHOULD BE FORMED FROM WARDS 2 OR 3 AND ONE MEMBER OF COUNCIL FROM 4, 5, WE HAVE COUNCILLOR GOLLER AND APOLOGIES I BELIEVE

COUNCILLOR GOLLER IS A WARD 2. >> Mayor Guthrie: AND COUNCILLOR

WELL, HOW ABOUT I LOOK TO ANOTHER COUNCIL TO

THAT'S A WEIRD WAY OF SAYING IT. ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO COMMENT ON

AND WHO WANTS TO BE INTERESTED

CAN I HAVE SOMEONE PLEASE MOVE GOLLER AND KLASSEN WILL SECOND

AND JUST AS POPULAR AS THE BUSINESS LICENSING ONE, THE WELL INTERFERENCE NOT EVERYONE'S HANDS JUMP UP HERE

WHO WOULD LIKE TO MOVE A MOTION FOR ME

THAT'S A GOOD DAD JOKE, RIGHT.

ANYTHING FURTHER ON THOSE THREE?

AND NOW THE BEST COMMITTEE EVER, THE COMMITTEE OF ADJOURNMENT. I WAS KIDDING TO SEE IF ANYBODY >> I WOULD LIKE TO AMEND A MOTION TO THE I HAVE SENT A LETTER TO THE CLERKS AND CURRENTLY WE HAVE TEN COMMUNITY I WOULD LIKE TO AMEND THAT TO STILL TEN COMMUNITY MEMBERS

SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT MOTION COME COUNCILLOR GOLLER DID YOU HAVE A

AND AS WAS VERY EASILY EXPLAINED, JUST SO EVERYONE KIND OF HEARS ONE MORE TIME, THE COMPOSITION OF THE PUBLIC STAYS THE SAME, WE'RE ADDING ONE MORE FROM

THROUGH YOU TO THE MOVER, I'M QUITE SUPPORTIVE OF THIS BUT I WOULD LIKE THE PUBLIC TO HEAR WHAT THE RATIONALE WOULD BE FOR THANK YOU YOUR WORSHIP, FIRST I DID CONSULT WITH THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE LIBRARY AND THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OVER JUST TO GET THEIR FEEDBACK ON THIS. MY RATIONALE WHERE WE HAVE POLICE SERVICES WHERE THERE'S TWO MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. PUBLIC HEALTH THREE MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. WITH THE LIBRARY WHICH WILL PLAY AN INCREASING VOCAL ROLE IN THE CITY OF GUELPH IT'S THE NEW MAIN BRANCH LIBRARY'S BEEN BUILT AS PART OF THE BAKER STREET REDEVELOPMENT WHICH WILL THAT'S A LENGTHY PROCESS WITH A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ONCE THAT NEW MAIN BRANCH LIBRARY IS BUILT OUT, THE OPERATING BUDGET FOR THE NEW LIBRARY WILL INCREASE FOR THOSE REASONS, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ADDITIONAL MEMBERS OF COUNCIL PARTICIPATE IN THE BOARD LIBRARY FOR TWO PARTS OF FIRST, SO THERE'S GREATER COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE LIBRARY BOARD AND GUELPH CITY SOMETIMES ANY ONE MEMBER MISSES

BY HAVING THREE PEOPLE THERE'S MORE WHEN WE SPEAK AT CITY COUNCIL AND I HAVE SAY SOMETHING AND IT IS NOT CAPTURED AND DOESN'T HIT THE RIGHT TONE MAYBE ANOTHER MEMBER ON THE BOARD WILL SAY SOMETHING ELSE AND IT THE SECOND PART, ONCE THE NEW MAIN BRANCH LIBRARY IS BUILT OUT AND WE HAVE A NEW OPERATING BUDGET, BY HAVING THREE MEMBERS OF COUNCIL ON THAT BOARD, THERE'S A GREATER OPPORTUNITY FOR COMMUNICATION AND FEEDBACK AT THE ONCE BUDGET IS APPROVED BY ANY BOARD, WHETHER IT BE THE DGBA, POLICE SERVICES, WE RECEIVE AS COUNCIL A BUDGET THAT BUT BY HAVING MEMBERS PARTICIPATE IN THE BUDGET MAKING PROCESS, THEN WE CAN INFLUENCE THAT AT THE BASE AND

FOR THOSE REASONS, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A COUPLE MORE BOARD MEMBERS AT THE

AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU HAVE >> Mayor Guthrie: SO IT'S ALL SO LET'S CALL THE VOTE ON THIS. ON THE ADDITION THAT COUNCILLOR DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER TO ADD BEFORE

AND SO NOW WE'D LIKE -- WE NEED TO NOW

WOULD SOMEONE WILL WILLING TO MOVE A

I'M GOING TO GO TO COUNCILLOR DOWNER AT THIS TIME TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH

THE FIRST PART OF IT WOULD BE TO SUSPEND THE PRODUCEAL BYLAW TO

AND THAT'S SECTION 1.5 OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO COUNCIL PUBLIC APPOINTMENT IN ORDER TO APPOINT A NONVOTING MEMBER OF CITY COUNCIL TO HERITAGE GUELPH FOR TWO SO IF I GET A -- DO WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THOSE I NEED A MOTION TO SUSPEND TO PROCEDURAL BYLAW RULES SO WE CAN DISCUSS WHAT YOU ARE JUST SO EVERYONE IS VERY, VERY CLEAR, IF I GET A MOVER AND A SECONDER TO SUSPEND THE

I'M GOING TO SAY THAT COUNCILLOR DOWNER HAS MOVED IT AND COUNCILLOR GOLLER,

SUSPENDING REGULAR RULES TO TALK ABOUT THE ANYTHING FURTHER BEFORE I CALL THE

SO NOW I'M GOING BACK TO COUNCILLOR >> I PUT THAT MOTION ON THE FLOOR. I DON'T KNOW IF THE CLERKS WANT TO SECTION 1.5E OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEES OF -- COMMUNITY COMPOSITION SECTION OF THE

SO LET'S JUST VOTE ON THAT AND >> OH, I WAS GOING TO SAY WHY I WANTED TO DO >> Mayor Guthrie: I WOULD LOVE TO

>> SO A FEW YEARS AGO ACTUALLY I HAD BROUGHT FORWARD A MOTION TO HAVE A FACILITATOR/MEDIATOR DEAL WITH SOME OF THE I GUESS TENSION BETWEEN THE HERITAGE GUELPH, CITY COUNCIL, ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS OUT OF THE AT THAT FACILITATION REPORT WAS A COUNCILLOR MEMBER SIT ON HERITAGE GUELPH, AT LEAST THEY DID A PEER REVIEW OF OAKVILLE AND OAKVILLE HAD TWO, WATERLOO ONE, AND OTTAWA FIVE, WHICH THEY DID NOT RECOMMEND. THEY SAID OAKVILLE OR WATERLOO THEY THOUGHT THAT BOTH OF THOSE, ALL CITIES

IT IMPROVED THE COLLABORATION AND COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE

AND SO AT THE TIME WE DIDN'T IMPLEMENT IT JUST BECAUSE WE HAD THIS BYLAW. BUT I THINK NOW IT'S AN OPPORTUNE TIME ALSO WE HAVE BILL 23 DOWN THE PIPE WHERE THERE'S GOING TO BE HUGE CHANGES IT I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE THAT OTHER VOICE THAT'S COMMUNICATING THE CONVERSATION TO COUNCIL FROM HERITAGE

SO IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED. AGAIN, WE'LL GET TO THE PERSON IS THERE ANYTHING FURTHER ON JUST THIS

SO NOW I'D LIKE TO ASK WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED

COUNCILLOR -- OH, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE

SO COULD SOMEONE MOVE COUNCILLOR

ANYTHING FURTHER FROM ANYBODY?

COMMITTEE OF -- ALL IN FAVOUR OF WE HAVE TO GET OUR BLOOD MOVING

AND I NEED TO SWITCH MY SCREENS HERE,

SO WE JUST NEED A LITTLE BIT OF TIME, EVERYBODY, TO DO A LITTLE TECHNICAL SWITCH OF SO I'M GONNA JUST SAY THAT WE WILL RECESS FOR A MOMENT
