CLOSED SESSION

The meeting entered into Closed Session for the purpose of discussing legal issues related to the sale of municipal property.

Conflict of Interest

During the discussion Eddie Nickerson declared conflict of interest and retired from the meeting.  The conflict of interest was declared as a result of Deputy Warden Nickerson’s close friendship with one of the parties to a potential legal action. 

Also during the discussion Sean Strang and Donna LeBlanc-Messenger retired from the meeting during the discussion of a matter that was previously governed by councillors signing a confidentiality agreement.  Neither Councillor Strang nor Councillor LeBlanc-Messenger had signed the agreement and therefore retired from the meeting during the discussion of that matter.

At approximately 8:15 p.m. the members returned to open session.
