and
we

A
We

for
this
land
and
look
forward
to
working
with
them
in
Partnership,
as
we

I
also
want
to
take
a
moment
to
recognize
the
men's
contributions
of
city
of
Vancouver
staff,
who
work
hard
every
day
to
make
our
city
an
incredible
place
to
live,
work
and
play
clerk.
Maybe
we
have
the
roll
call,
please.
B
A
Thank
you,
clerk.
Okay,
before
I
begin,
here's
the
plan
for
the
day
any
comments
on
the
agenda
items
can
be
sent
to
the
committee
using
the
web
form
on
the
city's

That
link
to
that
form
will
be
tweeted
out
on

Vancity.
A
Clerk
I
also
want
to
note
the
city
of
Vancouver's,
long-standing
commitment
to
equity,
Equity
diversity
and
inclusion,
including
utmost
respect
for
all
genders
I
remind
committee
members
of
when
addressing
speakers
and
staff
we
will
avoid
using
gender
donorifics
and
instead
refer
to
the
person
by
first
and
last
name,
rule
or
title.
There
is
one
report
on
today's
agenda
as
well
as
a
motion
to
go
into
camera.
A
Finally,
I'd
like
to
remind
committee
members
that
if
an
amendment
is
brought
forward,
they
must
be
submitted
to
the
clerk
in
final
written
form
before
the
Committee
Member
introduces
them.
Please
ensure
the
clerk
has
received
your
amendment
by
emailing
it
directly
to
Tina,
Penny,
Penny
and
Elise
Stewart.
A
Okay,
great
so
the
committee
is
required
to
meet
in
camera
today.
The
reason:
an
Authority
Under
The
Vancouver
Charter
listed
on
the
agenda.
It's
moved
by
Council
Kirby
young.
We
need
a
secondary
second
by
counselor
Montague,
all
those
in
favor
say
yay.
B
A
Oh
sorry,
counselor
Dominator.
We
need
your
video
on
for
foreign
purposes.
Thank
you.
Okay,
all
those
opposed
the
motion
carries
unanimously
upon
adjournment
of
the
public
portion
of
today's
meeting.
We
will
take
a
five
minute
recess
to
transition
to
the
in-camera
portion
of
our
meeting,
allowing
sufficient
time
for
staff
to
vacate
the
chamber.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda.
The
only
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
update
to
auditor
general
committee's
terms
of
reference.
B
Thank
you
and
good
morning,
thanks
for
the
opportunity,
this
report
that
has
been
published
on
your
agenda
and
on
the
city's
website
was
initiated
by
the
working
group
of
this
committee,
charged
with
filling
the
vacancy
of
the
external
liaison
that
was
vacant
as
the
result
of
a
resignation
in
January,
and
when
that
committee
was
reviewing
their
recommendations,
they
had
a
such
great
applicants
that
the
group
asked
to
bring
forward
a
recommendation
to
increase
the
external
Liaisons
from
the
current
two
and
make
it
up
to
three
and
such
a
change
necessitates
amendments
to
the
associate
terms
of
reference,
there's
two
that
it
affects.
B
B
The
amendments
to
the
terms
of
reference
are
minor
simply
to
reflect
the
increase
from
to
to
bring
it
up
to
three.
As
I
mentioned
earlier
and
they're
attached
to
the
reports
showing
the
changes
were
required
with
that,
that's
really
my
report,
but
the
auditor
general
is
here
and
certainly
has
reviewed.
The
report
as
well
so
Jerry
may
wish
to
make
some
comments
and
I
am
open
to
questions.
A
Thank
you.
Do
we
have
any
questions
for
either
the
clerk
or
the
auditor
general
and
seeing
none
would
somebody
like
to
move
and
second,
this
motion.
B
A
Moved
moved
away,
counselor
Kirby
young
seconded
second
by
counselor
Montague,
all
right,
all
in
favor
opposed
seeing
none
the
recommendations
pass,
and
that
concludes
item
one
on
the
agenda
and
the
last
item
on
our
agenda.
So
can
we
have
a
motion
to
adjourn
moved
by
Montague
and
we
will
all
in
favor,
say
yay
opposed
to
say,
nay,
motion
carries
unanimously.
This
meeting
is
adjourned
and
we
will
be
reconvening
in
about
five
minutes
to
do
in
camera.
