2:17:03That the desirability of avoiding disclosure thereof in the interests of any person affected or in the public interest
2:17:10outweighs the desirability of adhering to the principle that hearings be open to the public
2:17:16So we are going to uh now move into a closed session where we'll deliberate and um
2:17:25And then we will return and uh and go from there once we're done
2:17:29To the clerks. Do you need a motion? Is that considered a motion that requires us to go back or does the statutory powers procedure act?
2:17:37Just me stating it give us the ability to go back. I can't remember
2:17:43Through you mr. Mayor, I don't think a motion is necessarily required because we're sitting in the introspective for consistency
2:17:47It doesn't necessarily hurt either
2:17:50Okay, well, you know, let's just do it as a motion. It's just captured. It's fine
2:17:54So councillor busentill and councillor roark, you know, you know that you'd second. Is there anyone against that?
2:18:00Okay, hearing and seeing none. That's unanimous
2:18:03So we will convene and closed session now and once done we'll come back out under this procedural act to
2:18:11Go from there. Thank you very much
2:18:14Okay, thank you. We are back from our deliberation
3:12:57Again, this is the public meeting to hear a complaint under section 20 of the development charges act 1997
3:13:04And I have been given permission to make this very short statement
