DECISIONS AND ISSUES
- 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. Nattaq abstained on 23-85 and 23-86 because he had missed those meetings; both carried with six for and one abstention.
- Council gave third and final readings to Fees and Charges amendment By-law 955 and Northwest Deposit Quarry agreement By-law 956 under 23-87 and 23-88. It approved the March 21 committee's survey, Apex vestibule permit and Elders’ Society land direction separately as 23-90 through 23-92.
- Motion 23-89 directed sole-source procurement of emergency-services radios for $310,578.16 plus GST, carrying 5–2: Amarapala, Curley, Nattaq, Smith and Stevenson for; Awa and Tilley opposed. The minutes describe 40 handheld radios and 12 base stations, not verified delivery.
- Motion 23-95 supported a World Press Freedom Day proclamation, carrying 6–1: Awa, Amarapala, Curley, Nattaq, Smith and Tilley for; Stevenson opposed. The two research-application motions, 23-93 and 23-94, were recorded as unanimous without individually named votes.
- In a verbal raw-water update, staff reported February average demand around 4,495 cubic metres a day, March around 3,940, and Lake Geraldine at 109.099 metres above sea level on March 26. These dated figures are not a current supply measurement. Awa left before the 6–0 return from closed session; the printed adjournment line says seven even though the registry says six, so no individual support is inferred for adjournment.
