20:19All right, I'm going to call the meeting to order,

20:21wondering if my colleagues online

20:23would mind turning on their cameras

20:25just so we have enough for core.

20:27And that would be awesome.

20:28Thank you.

20:30And welcome.

20:31This is City Council sitting as the shareholder

20:34of Guelph Municipal Holdings, Inc.

20:36So we are, we got a different hat on, as I always say,

20:40for this meeting that we have here.

20:42It is Wednesday, July the 9th.

20:44It is just after four o'clock.

20:45And so I'd like to officially call the meeting to order.

20:48Is there any disclosure of pecuniary interest

20:50or any general nature thereof from any members?

20:54Don't hear or see any.

20:57So with that, we are looking to move into a closed session.

21:02And it is that the Council of the City of Guelph

21:05now hold a meeting that is closed

21:08to the public pursuant to the Municipal Act.

21:10It is titled, GMHI shareholder information and Electra Update.

21:15And it is that the Council of the City of Guelph

21:17now hold a meeting that is closed to the public

21:19pursuant to the section 2392 I of the Municipal Act

21:23regarding a trade secret or scientific, technical,

21:26commercial, financial or labor relations information

21:28supplying confidence to the municipality or local board,

21:31which if disclosed, everything is cut off there,

21:35could reasonably be expected to prejudice significantly.

21:38The competitive position or interfere significantly

21:41with the contractual or other negotiations

21:44of a person, group of persons or organization.

21:48Moving that for me will be,

21:50ALT and seconding will be, Klosson.

21:54Thank you.

21:55I will call the vote.

21:56Is anyone against moving into closed session under that item?

22:00Nobody.

22:01It's unanimous.

22:02We will move into the closed session.

22:04And as usual, when done, I will do a high level summary

22:06when we come back out into the public.

22:08Thank you very much.

1:49:57Okay.

1:49:58I'll call the meeting back to order out here.

1:50:00Just for the update summary,

1:50:02we did go into closed session as disclosed on the open agenda.

1:50:07We received information in regards to that item.

1:50:10And then we also did give direction to that item as well.

1:50:17So that is the update for everybody.

1:50:20And I do have open meeting minutes of the shareholder

1:50:24that just need to be also approved in the open session here.

1:50:28So that's that the minutes of the open city council

1:50:32as shareholder of GMAG meetings held on June 24th, 2025,

1:50:37be confirmed as recorded and without being read.

1:50:40Billings will move that.

1:50:42ALT will second that.

1:50:44And is there anything further on the minutes?

1:50:47Hearing and seeing none,

1:50:48I'll call the vote on that as anyone against.

1:50:52Nobody.

1:50:53And I'm going to go to my left.

1:50:55Councillor Busuttil is going to move adjournment.

1:50:58I'm going to go to my right.

1:50:59Councillor Richardson is going to second adjournment.

1:51:02And is there anyone against adjournment?

1:51:05Okay, nobody have a great rest of the day.
