Not taken from the minutes. This meeting’s attendance section is unusable — it names every member as absent from a meeting the same document then describes in full — so it was resolved by hand against the Town’s recording. No attendance rate is published anywhere on this site.

Procedural motions [1 motions]

Motions that run the meeting rather than decide anything — approving the agenda, receiving a report, adjourning. Listed apart from the decisions and never added to them, because approving a consent agenda and approving an Official Plan amendment are not the same act.

THAT Consent Items 5.1 to 5.4 be approved.
