Good morning,.

A

I am seeing we have all members of the election compliance audit.

C

A

Does that sound about right staff.

A

Nobody's going to tell me: okay, Rick.

C

We, we do I believe have all members uh present and uh we are live streaming to our YouTube channel. Just for the awareness of the ecac members, um all of the public meetings of the ecac are live streamed, so I believe uh we will be good to go whenever you are Mr clerk.

A

I am good to go and I will call the first meeting of the election compliance audit committee for this term with Council to order and what I am seeking is the consent of the committee to move first to item 5.1 on your agenda, which should be the election of a chair and vice chair with the committee's consent. We'll go there first, so we can get a chair in place and then I would like to seed. The meeting over to the new chair to have the election of the vice chair.

A

Do I have the committee's consent to move in that direction. Yes me and everyone nodding their heads I'll. Take that as unanimous. So thank you very much, but what I would like to do now is just read through the process that we have with regards to having a chair elected in this process.

A

um If there is only one member who is putting their name forward for a position, the sole nominee would of course be acclaimed and we would move off in that direction. Otherwise the committee will have to vote on who their chair is going to be. So we will now open the floor for nominations for the committee of chair, the election compliance audit committee. If any member is interested uh being appointed to this particular role, he she or they may nominate themselves or have anyone else nominate them.

A

So, with that in mind, committee members I am allowing nominations to the floor now. Are there any nominations for share of the election compliance audit committee.

B

Mr O'connor I'd uh gladly take on the role of chair. If my colleagues will have me uh as chair of the election compliance audit committee for this coming term,.

A

All right, Mr Cullen! Thank you very much. You are the nominee I'm going to ask twice more. Are there any additional nominees for the position of chair of the election compliance audit committee and a third time asking? Are there any more nominations for chair of the election compliance audit committee?

A

Well, thank you Mr chair and the members of the committee. I will then ask that nominations are now open for the vice chair, the position of Vice, chair of the election compliance audit committee, I'm accepting nominations on behalf of the chair at this time.

C

I would put my name forward as for vice chair.

A

Are there any other additional nominations for the position of Vice chair for the audit Story, the complete election compliance audit committee in one final time, members?
