Though a quick glance at the night ahead suggests that the more intriguing of items appear to be those on the Agenda of the seemingly now mandatory Closed Session.
The notice for the February 11th version of the Closed Session provides for five topics for discussion, none of which Council feels can be discussed in open session.
Information about an individual who is being considered for a municipal award, honour or has offered to provide a gift to the municipality on condition of anonymity.
The acquisition, disposition or expropriation of land or improvements, if the council considers that disclosure could reasonably be expected to harm the interests of the municipality.
Litigation or potential litigation affecting the Municipality.
Negotiations and related discussions respecting the proposed provision of a municipal service that are at their preliminary stages and that, in the view of council, could reasonably be expected to harm the interest of the municipality if they were held in public.
Discussions with municipal officers and employees respecting municipal objectives, measures and progress reports for the purposes of preparing an annual report under section 98 (Annual Municipal Report)
All in all, a wide ranging list which may take up more of council's time on Tuesday, than those items on the Regular Agenda for the night.
When Council is finished with its Closed Session business, they will then reconvene a 7 PM for their Regular public session. An evening which features a number of reports, recommendations and By Law considerations on the night.
