SPECIAL COUNCIL MINUTES
CITY OF KITCHENER
A special meeting of City Council was held at 12:15 p.m. this date and chaired by Mayor Richard D.
Christy, with all members present.
Notice of the special meeting had been previously given to all members of Council by the City Clerk
pursuant to Chapter 25 of the Municipal Code.
Mayor R. Christy put Council on notice that the special meeting of the Downtown Task Force called this
date to brief City Council could result in a possible land acquisition matter which would require a meeting
of Council in-camera.
Moved by Councillor J. Ziegler
Seconded by Councillor C. Weylie
"That an in-camera meeting of City Council be held immediately following this special meeting to
consider a personnel matter and a litigation matter, and further,
That, should it be required, an additional in-camera meeting of City Council be held immediately
following the meeting of the Downtown Task Force this date to discuss a possible land acquisition
matter."
Councillor Jake Smola asked for clarification of the notice requirements for meetings of Council, and Mr.
R.W. Pritchard replied that Chapter 25 (Council Procedure) indicates that notice must be given 24 hours
in advance of the meeting. He also pointed out that the reasons for such a meeting in-camera are
restricted by legislation. Councillor Smola asked whether the Mayor was proposing notice of the meeting
to be held this evening, and Mayor Christy replied in the negative, indicating that notice had already been
sent. He clarified that he is asking for authority for a possible in-camera meeting which would, if required,
be held in conjunction with the meeting of the Downtown Task Force.
The previous motion by Councillor J. Ziegler, seconded by Councillor C. Weylie, to endorse the in-
camera meetings this date was voted on and Carried.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
