3:15:05Councillor Allt, would you mind reading off
3:15:07the bylaws for us that come up on the...
3:15:10I don't mind at all.
3:15:12Mayor Guthrie, do we not need to resume
3:15:14close session before you go?
3:15:15Yeah, I was gonna go, yes, you're correct.
3:15:17I was gonna do closed after the bylaws,
3:15:19but you are correct to call me out on that.
3:15:22So we will have you do that
3:15:24once we are done the closed session.
3:15:26So as I said earlier in the meeting,
3:15:28we did not finish the closed session,
3:15:30so we're gonna jump back in for that,
3:15:33and we will come back out though
3:15:34to close the meeting off,
3:15:35any high level summary at that point, okay?
3:15:38With that.
3:15:40Do I need a motion to go back into close?
3:15:42I think so, right, yep, good.
3:15:43So it is Neve Street parking lot,
3:15:46development opportunity as per section 239
3:15:49to C and F of the Municipal Act
3:15:51regarding a proposed or pending acquisition
3:15:54or disposition of land by the municipality or local board,
3:15:57and advice that is subject to solicitor client privilege,
3:16:00including communications necessary for that purpose.
3:16:03I saw a whole bunch of hands go up here.
3:16:05Richardson and Gibson, sounds good.
3:16:07All right, is anyone against moving back into closed
3:16:09to finish that topic off?
3:16:12Nobody, that's unanimous, thank you so much.
3:16:13We'll do that now.
