The first of two sessions for September provides for a fairly light workload for Council's attention, a presentation to council, a request for a proclamation and a revisit of the purchasing policy among some of the items of interest on the night.
One Agenda item that may catch the attention of many in the community is the release of information from one of the City's past Closed Meetings, where the city will outline the nature of a contract awarded to dismantle the mill site.
On the topic of the many Closed sessions of this council, before they take to the open portion of their Tuesday night session, Council will once again take to behind closed doors, with a Closed Session of Council to take place in the early evening.
The notice for the September 2nd version of the Closed Session provides for a topic which offers up little as to the nature up for discussion, but provides for a pair of items which Council feels cannot be discussed in open session.
That Council hereby declares that the meeting held at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 2nd, 2014 is to be closed to the public and that the basis of that closure is that the item(s) on the agenda of this meeting comply with the following closed meeting criteria specified in Section 90 of the Community Charter:
90.1 (a) personal information about an identifiable individual who holds or is being considered for a position as an officer, employee or agent of the municipality or another position appointed by the municipality; and
(e) 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. - Sale and/or Leasing of City property.
When Council is finished with its Closed Session business, they will then tackle the items of interest on the night for their Regular Council Agenda, the listing of which can be found here.
A guide to the night's content can be found below, the corresponding page number from the Agenda listed in red.
The session starts off with the regular adoption of agendas and minutes.
Council will receive a presentation from Tony Pesklevits, from the Ministry of Forestry, Lands and Natural Resources who will provide an update on Angling Management in the region.
