1. MeetinQ Called To Order
The Mayor called the Committee of the Whole meeting to order, Councillor Titus having
voted "nay" on the motion in this regard on the basis of his view that the item listed on
the agenda as discussion of a confidential nature should have been placed on the
agenda for debate and vote by Council in open session as to why it should be discussed
in closed session. Mr. Nugent spoke to the process in terms of the requirement for
Council to convene publicly and, if any member of the Committee wished to deal with an
item in discussion from which the public would be excluded, there should be a resolution
to do so, indicating the item as well as the category in the legislation into which the item
fit as appropriate for discussion excluding the public. It was noted that Mr. Woods would
be making a presentation in open session of Council later this date on the recent
amendments to the Municipalities Act.
The Mayor indicated her intent to comment in open session of Council later this date on
the matter of the Province's funding commitment of $2.5 million in 2003 of its four-year
commitment of funding to do work on Rothesay Avenue, Loch Lomond Road and
Fairville Boulevard in conjunction with the City, noting that while there was no written
agreement on the four-year funding, the Premier made the announcement at a news
conference. The matter of the tender for the work on Rothesay Avenue was broached
during which time Mr. Nugent advised of the Legal Department's review of a tender on
the extent of its completeness. The Mayor also advised of receipt, in writing, of the
Province's commitment of $400,000 with respect to the Sandy Point Road/Kennebecasis
Bay area development project recently presented to Council, and that it was her
understanding that Commissioner of Municipal Operations Paul Groody was in receipt of
UNB's letter committing $400,000 to this project.
