1:27Alright, good morning everybody.
1:30It is
1:32Tuesday, March 28th. It's 945 a.m. and we're meeting here for our
1:39City Council meeting, but we're sitting as the shareholder of GMHI, Guelph Municipal Holdings, Inc.
1:47And so thank you very much again for joining and I'll call the meeting officially to order. I do have regrets from
1:54Councillor Gibson today.
1:59Right off the top, we are looking to move into a closed meeting and
2:07Before I do that, is there any disclosure or pecuniary interest or any general nature there of of the closed items out in public?
2:15Don't hear or see anything. Thank you. Consider that matter closed and what is
2:23stated on the open agenda here
2:26Under the title appointment of Guelph representative to the electoral board of directors
2:30Section 239 to be of the Municipal Act relating to personal matters about an identifiable individual including municipal or local board employees
2:40And that is the only reason we would go in closed
2:45Would some and be willing to move that forming councillor Allt will councillor Downer will second
2:51And is there anything further on that?
2:53Don't hear or see any so I'll call the vote anyone against moving into closed
3:00Okay, I don't see any opposition to that so it's unanimous
3:04So for those watching
3:05We are just gonna have a closed or what's called a private meeting of the shareholder
3:10Right now and when we're done, we'll come back out. I'm happy to give a high-level summary when I come back out
3:16So spare with us as we go do that now. Thank you
3:19Okay, I'll call the meeting back to order in the open session, please for the GMHI
17:23shareholder meeting
17:24As we just went into closed session
17:27Under what was provided under the open agenda
17:30We have had that discussion and actually instead of a summary, we're gonna do better than that. We're gonna come right out and exactly
17:38Post publicly what we just talked about which is an appointment and I'd like to turn to councillor Allt
17:43Please to bring that forward on behalf of the shareholder
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
18:54This portion of the meeting. Oh, sorry confirmation of open minutes. Yeah
19:02Yeah, oh, yeah, and the appointment of the auditor anything else that the chair missed
19:07Sorry
19:09Let's do the minutes June 27 22 the open minutes would someone be willing to move that for me again
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
20:03Okay, I don't hear or see anything. I consider the matter closed. It's unanimous
20:07Okay for real this time
20:10Adjournment please would some of you willing to do that councillor Klassen will be willing to move adjournment
20:16I think I saw downer's hand go up for second there. Thank you
20:20Anyone against adjournment?
20:22That's a nobody that's unanimous as well. So the gmhi portion of the meeting is officially over
20:30Thank you
20:36Okay, we're going to take about a two to three minute break just as the clerks get things switched over for the council meeting
