Chief Administrative Officer 2025 Performance Objectives as included in Attachment-1 to report 2025-05, dated January 14, 2025…

40:39I'll call the meeting back to order for the open session to start. Just at 1.30 we did have a closed

40:45meeting of Council in regards to the Chief Administrative Officer 2025 Performance Objectives Review

40:55and so we had a discussion. Council had a discussion with our CAO and with that we do have

41:04motion that has come from closed session that we'd like to just look to move in the open session

41:11and so I'll look to Councillor Bustel please to provide that for us. Thank you Mayor. So the

41:19motion is up on the screen. Number one that the Chief Administrative Officer 2025 Performance

41:26Objectives has included an attachment 1 to report 2025-05 dated January 14 2025 be approved and

41:35number two that the Chief Administrative Officer present the Chief Administrative Officer 2025

41:41Performance Objectives in the open portion of the January 14 2025 Committee of the Whole Meeting.

41:49Great thank you and seconded by Councillor Richardson. Yep thank you and is there anything

41:56further on that before I call the vote? No okay I'll call the vote. Is anyone against the CAO

42:02Objectives for 2025? Nobody that's unanimous that's a good start and so that's that's done we're

42:12going to go through you know a little bit more of our agenda here and of course we will then be

42:18hearing from our CAO with the presentation and just a little bit so that ties in with what we just

42:24talked about. So with that I'd like to ask everyone if you can please stand if you're able as we

42:30recognize our national anthem. Great thank you and now just for a moment of silent reflection

44:02before we continue on. Great thank you everyone and for our territorial acknowledgement as we gather

44:19let us take time to reflect on our privilege to live and work here in Guelph a city that's built

44:23over rich indigenous histories or guests here and we should reflect upon the responsibility to

44:29care for this land and the people who live here today and the generations to come. If our actions

44:34today can move us towards reconciliation we should take pause and make those decisions with

44:39intention and gratitude. This place we call Guelph has served as traditional lands and a place of

44:44refuge for many peoples over time but more specifically the Anuonarok and the Hulna Shoni.

44:50This land is held as the treaty lands and the territory with the Mississaugas of the Credit

44:55First Nation in Guelph lies directly adjacent to the Haldeman track and as part of a long

45:00established traditional hunting grounds for the six nations of the Grand River. Many First Nations

45:05Inuit and Métis people who have come from across Turtle Island call Guelph home today.

45:12And with that is there any disclosure of pecuniary interest any general nature there are for the

45:17other items on the agenda in front of us today? Hearing and seeing none again just for the open
