Four indexed meetings from the first sitting through December 12.
CURRENT COUNCIL · TERM START
The 2023 council audit
The written record begins November 14, 2023, when Kimberly Smith and Romeyn Stevenson were sworn in and the newly elected council first sat.
22 named · 6 recorded without naming the speaker.
Total motions across the four written records; substantive classification remains separate.
Why November 14, not election day?
October records belong to the outgoing council. November 14 is the first official sitting of the newly elected council and the defensible start of this term record.

EARLIER COUNCIL, SEPARATE WRITTEN ARCHIVE
Before the November 14 term boundary
36 outgoing-council records from January through October provide an earlier trail. Their meeting attendance and motion numbers stay outside the current-term totals above. Distinct question counts and audio remain pending for most records.
Council Meeting #01
Motions 23-01 through 23-19 reconcile with the registry. Agenda and prior-minute approvals, an agenda amendment, two in-camera transitions and adjournment were procedural. Thirteen by-law, funding, contract and project decisions were substantive. Ordinary motions record eight unanimous votes until Quassa's departure, then seven. These are tallies, not individually named roll calls.
Read the earlier-council record →Planning & Development COW #01
PD 23-01 through PD 23-03 reconcile with the registry. Agenda and adjournment were procedural. PD 23-02 unanimously recommended a Bell Mobility tower lot and access-road survey sketch; council separately approved the sketch January 24 as 23-27. The committee recommendation did not itself create the lot.
Read the earlier-council record →Public Hearing #01

Read the earlier-council record →Council Meeting #03
Motions 23-29 through 23-46 reconcile with the official registry. Agenda, three prior-minute approvals and adjournment were procedural. The 13 remaining by-law, funding, contract, support, policy and appointment decisions were substantive.

Read the earlier-council record →Taxi Advisory Committee #01
TAC 23-01 through TAC 23-06 reconcile with the registry. Agenda, previous minutes and adjournment were procedural; TAC 23-03 through TAC 23-05 were unanimous committee recommendations, not final council actions.
Read the earlier-council record →Planning & Development COW #02
PD 23-04 through PD 23-12 reconcile with the registry. Agenda and adjournment were procedural. Seven recommendations addressed leases, quarry administration, zoning and development permits; one recommendation was defeated. Committee recommendations must be distinguished from council approvals.

Read the earlier-council record →Planning & Development COW #03
The committee met from 6 to 6:55 p.m. PD 23-13 through PD 23-17 reconcile with the registry. Three unanimous recommendations were substantive; agenda and adjournment were procedural. A committee recommendation is not final council approval.
Read the earlier-council record →Engineering & Public Works COW #01
EPW 23-01 through EPW 23-06 reconcile with the registry. Two unanimous recommendations concerned water-project delivery and AV 305 remediation; agenda, closed-session transitions and adjournment were procedural. The recommendations did not themselves award or direct council work.
Read the earlier-council record →Council Meeting #06
Motions 23-84 through 23-98 reconcile with the registry. Nine by-law, procurement, planning, research-application and proclamation motions were substantive. Agenda, prior-minute approvals, closed-session transitions and adjournment were procedural.

Read the earlier-council record →Council Meeting #19
Fifteen substantive decisions are classified. Sheppard declared a conflict on hangar permit 23-308; its unanimous tally is five rather than six. The General Fund reallocation is authority for projects, not verified spending, and the CAO compensation motion states no public amount.
Read the earlier-council record →The Housing Action Plan addendum moved from committee recommendation PD23-62 to council approval 23-313. The West 40 recommendation similarly became council direction 23-315, with a proposed 2024 return after studies and consultation. This establishes a documented origin, not proof that subsequent work was completed.
October 10 motion 23-318 reallocated $10,228,997 in project authority. It does not establish actual spending. This earlier-council allocation is not added to the current-term money ledger.
