in an open meeting.

57
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:04,560
A closed meeting was held this morning
pursuant to section 2392 of the

58
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:08,560
municipal act as amended at which
recommendations were made to receive and

» Yes.
>> And that motion is carried.

67
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:47,200
Move on to matters for consideration
uh which is 6.1 declaration of vacant

68
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:51,519
head of council seat. Can you speak to
that Christine? Sure. Thank you, Deputy

69
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Reev.
Um, I did prepare a staff report uh that

70
00:11:54,720 --> 00:12:02,800
was circulated with the agenda. Um, so
I'll just briefly review that. Uh, with

71
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:07,440
the passing of Reev Hog on October 15th,
council must declare the head of council

72
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:12,320
seat vacant. The process for declaring
and filling vacancies on council is

73
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:18,800
prescribed under sections 259 through
268 of the municipal act as amended. Per

74
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:24,079
the act, if the office of a member of
council becomes vacant under section

75
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:28,880
259, the council shall at its next
meeting declare the office to be vacant

76
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:33,200
except if a vacancy occurs as a result
of the death of a member. The

77
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:39,440
declaration may be made at either of its
two either of its next two meetings.

78
00:12:37,188 --> 00:12:43,680
[clears throat] Just a little aside,
normally that would have been done on

79
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:48,800
November the 18th at our next regular
meeting. However, because we needed to

80
00:12:45,519 --> 00:12:52,720
call this special meeting today, um that
means we have to declare his his seat

81
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:57,920
vacant today.
All all operational matters related to

82
00:12:55,519 --> 00:13:03,680
his passing, including the options to
fill the vacancy for the remainder of

83
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:09,360
the 2022 2026 term will be addressed at
the next regular meeting on October the

84
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:12,800
8 or October November the 18th. My
recommendation is that council receives

85
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:18,000
for information the declaration of
vacant head of council seat report and

86
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:23,120
further that pursuant to section 262 of
the municipal act 2001 as amended

87
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:28,920
declare the seat for head of council
vacant effective November the 10th 2025.

88
00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:36,200
» Thank you Chris Christine
[clears throat] for the report. Does

89
00:13:32,079 --> 00:13:36,200
anyone have questions of Christine?

90
