What was decided (4 motions)

4 carried, 0 recorded otherwise. Every motion below is printed as the minutes print it.

THAT the Special Council Meeting adjourn to a Public Meeting to hear from members of the public and receive correspondence regarding the possible disposal of the Discovery Centre property at 270 Water Street, excluding the eastern portion, and to reconvene following the Public Meeting. A member of Council expressed concern that at the January 9, 2025, Finance and Labour Relations Committee budget meeting, a portion of the reserve funding for the Discovery Centre was removed. The member stated this precludes decision making ahead of public consultation. Mayor Ritsma called the question on the motion.
