17:46Thank you, mayor Guthrie if I could have the motion up on the screen for

17:51For all to see I'd like to move the motion as it's presented

17:55Which is the appointment of Ms. Jane Armstrong to the board of electra for a three-year term

18:01I don't think I need to speak the whole motion. I think it is it is apparent

18:05I believe councillor O'Rourke will second the motion as well

18:10I think that

18:12Ms. Armstrong represents golf very well in this capacity and

18:16Her experience in the past is is important for us

18:21Great, thank you councillor moved and seconded already and I'll just say ditto to the comments made and anything further on this

18:29Hearing and seeing none. I will call the vote

18:33Although is there anyone not in favor of the appointment? Okay hearing and seeing none. I consider the matter closed. It's unanimous. Thank you so much

18:47And that brings us to

18:50the end meaning I

18:52require an adjournment of

19:07Sorry

19:15Councillor Allt will do that councillor or work will second that

19:19Any anything on the minutes anybody?

19:21Hearing and seeing none. I'm going to call the vote

19:24Anyone against the minutes

19:28Hearing and seeing none. I consider it closed. It's unanimous and yes the appointment of the auditor

19:33I might as well look at councillor Allt for this too since he's love he loves audit

19:37Would you be willing to move that for us as well? I'm having a laugh right every minute doing this certainly

19:44Okay, and how about a seconder for all right that makes sense

19:48council Richardson will second the appointment of the auditor

19:53Anything further on on this item?

19:56Again hearing and seeing none. I'll call the vote is anyone against the appointment of the auditor
