7:29I'd like to call the GMHI meeting,
7:33City Council sitting as the shareholder to order please.
7:38Thank you.
7:39And I think we might have just regrets right now
7:41from Councillor Richardson.
7:44Right off the top, is there any disclosure
7:46of pecuniary interest, any general nature thereof?
7:52Okay.
7:53We do off the top on the open agenda
7:57as disclosed looking for an opportunity
8:00to move into closed meeting.
8:06And it is appointment of Guelph representative
8:09to the electoral board of directors.
8:13And that's as per section 239-2B of the municipal act
8:17relating to personal matters about an identifiable
8:20individual including municipal or local board employees.
8:24And that's the only item to consider in closed.
8:27Can I have someone look to move that one for me?
8:29Alt and Hauser, okay, thank you.
8:32Anything more on that before I call the vote?
8:35All right, I will call the vote.
8:37Is anyone against moving into closed?
8:40Nobody, that is unanimous.
8:42We shall return very soon.
8:45Thank you.
21:08All right, thank you.
21:09I'd like to call the open session here back
21:11to order please.
21:13Just as a high level summary for the closed session
21:17that we just did, we did give direction under that item
21:23to staff.
21:24So that is the summary for that one item.
21:29And so now being back into the open session,
21:33we have minutes from as the shareholder of GMA CHI
21:41from February 11th and July the 9th, 2025
21:46to be confirmed as recorded and without being read.
21:49Would someone be willing to move that?
21:51I got a Quran and Alt.
21:54Is there anything further on that?
21:57No, okay, I'll call the vote.
21:59Anybody against those minutes?
22:01That's nobody, so that's unanimous, thank you.
22:05And we have a consent item, which is the appointment
22:07of the auditors for Electra.
22:11And before I read out the recommendation,
22:13does anyone actually want it pulled?
22:15To discuss?
22:18No, okay, thank you.
22:19So it is just that council representing the corporation
22:22of the city of Guelph as the shareholder of GMA CHI

22:44Anyone against that?
22:47Nobody, that's unanimous as well, thank you.
22:50And so now I'm just looking for adjournment.
22:52I think Billings will move adjournment.
22:54I think Caton will second adjournment.
22:57And does anyone against that?
23:00No one, so that too is also unanimous
