All right everyone I'd like to get started so I will call the meeting to order New Mexico.

E

um And um I'm going to start by um pointing out that uh councilor Kavanaugh who's, a member of the nominations committee, is joining us remotely. uh But.

E

uh Have a balance between new and returning counselors on various committees uh and uh and Achieve other goals in order to make this a fully representative group of uh fully represented have full representation on all the Committees. So um so it's a complicated process, but it's been a productive of one and we are ready to move forward with some motions for the nominating committee, which will then go before city council tomorrow.

E

So again, thank you to everyone who is part of this process and I'm going to ask the deputy city clerk now to provide a little bit of an overview of what we're doing here. That's okay! Thank.

D

You Mr Mayor, the nominating could be procedures are set out in section for the procedure as adopted by Council as part of the governance report, nominations will be made in writing and considered through a series of motions regularly moved.

D

The nominating committee will have before it five motions setting out nominations for first motion will be members of standing committees, Transit Commission and the LRT subcommittee. The second motion will be appointments to local boards.

D

The third will be appointments to the council representatives to Municipal organizations.

D

Fourth motion will be the appointments of council Liaisons, as established through the governance report, and the final motion will set out nominations for members of the selection panels for public member appointments to various committees and boards.

D

Each motion will be put to the nominating committee for consideration and a vote. The committee may vote on the entire motion, or a member may call for a separate vote on each committee.

D

Traditionally I'm nominating committee members may ask questions and may comment on the motions and on the overall composition of the committee. It has been past practice for nominating committee and Council not to entertain speeches by members for or against their own candidacy, and it has also been past practice not to enter into debate on the individual merits of specific individuals during public meeting.

D

Finally, should there be additional nominations proposed to a particular committee, either at nominating committee or when this Rises to council tomorrow? That may be done by a majority book, a majority vote that should be Committee in question not have reached its maximum composition. Otherwise a runoff vote would be required in accordance with the procedures set out in section 74 of the procedure by law.

D

Finally, as the mayor had noted, these nominations, once approved by the nominating committee, will rise to council tomorrow for final approval by city council.

E

Thank you, councilor Tierney, I understand that motion is seconded by councilor kits. um Thank you for all that reading. um Are there any other motions or amendments is that okay? Is the motion carried.

D

E

D

I I think councilor Kavanaugh's raised her hand virtually okay.

E

Sorry and so has councilor Brockington councilor Brockington go ahead.

C

uh Thank you, Amer, just a question of clarification from the deputy clerk. um There are different numbers of members on particular committees. Some are at 12, some are less than 12.. Can I just be reminded. What's the maximum number of members we can have on a committee.

D

The maximum number of members you can have on the committee is either what is specifically provided for in governance. So, for example, the built Heritage committee has a fixed composition that includes five members of council. Otherwise, if it is not otherwise specified in the governance report, it would be 12 members not including ex-official members.

C

And that is the basically um 13 would be a majority. It would be past that 50 percent I just want to make sure we're sort of at that limit. That's.

D

Correct Mr, Mayor uh Quorum of council is 13 and the maximum composition of committees have been 12.

C

Great and are there any committees where we are leaving room to appoint people at a future date or all committees, maxed out on the number of appointments.

D

um In a quick review of the motion- and not all committees have that maximum composition, so there would be the opportunity at Council should there be additional nominations coming forward. Okay,.

C

I appreciate that, thank you, mayor.

E

Thank you, councilor Brockington, councilor, Kavanaugh,.

A

Thank you very much.

A

Even though we passed them regarding the light rail subcommittee being a Max of five, we do notice that there is not a gender balance and um uh I'm going to suggest that we consider to to up it, which would require a motion uh to six to put gender balance. I'm I'm, putting my own name forward. I think those are all excellent people that are on it, but I think that would be helpful and would take into consideration the major impact of the stage 2 LRT on bayward.

A

So um I I, don't know if that is considered to be an order now or for the future.

E

So my understanding is that that would require a motion at Council tomorrow uh to reconsider the membership limit on the uh Transit the LRT subcommittee. Rather, the uh is.

D

That right, that's correct, Mr, merrim of the view that uh appointing an additional member beyond what council established through the governance uh report. Consideration would not be in order at the nominating committee and I'm of the preliminary view that council could revisit this, but would require three quarters, as it would be revisiting uh the last meeting's decision.

E

Okay, thank you so councilor Kavanaugh. We can speak about that after the meeting and uh in terms of what that means for tomorrow's council meeting. But it's not something we can change at this meeting.

A

Correct. Thank you.

E

Thank you any other questions. Okay, is the motion carried Gary? Thank you. All right next is appointments to boards for the coming term of council, counselor Tierney once again, great.
