AUGUST 27, 2007 CITY OF KITCHENER
A special meeting of City Council was held at 6:40 p.m. this date, chaired by Mayor C. Zehr with all
members present except Councillor J. Smola.
Notice of this special meeting had been previously given to all members of Council by the City Clerk
pursuant to Chapter 25 (Council Procedure) of the Municipal Code.
Council considered Development and Technical Services Department report DTS-07-138 (J. Willmer)
regarding citizen appointments to the Kitchener Growth Management Task Force. It was noted that
Council was circulated separately, the applications from possible candidates. Despite the fact there
were only four applicants Council agreed to proceed with the appointments.
The four applicants were nominated and the approved voting procedure was then utilized resulting in
Daniel Glenn-Graham receiving the majority of votes and a tie between Sue Morgan and Aura
Hertzog.
Councillor J. Gazzola suggested that the three candidates be appointed as the citizen representatives
to the Committee. Council was advised that in order to do so a motion would be required to amend
the Committee's Terms of Reference to allow three citizen appointments. Mr. J. Willmer, Director of
Planning, advised that the Terms of Reference were established to ensure a balance of
representatives from all stakeholders and that by appointing three citizen representatives, this may
cause an imbalance on the Committee.
A motion by Councillor J. Gazzola, seconded by Councillor G. Lorentz to amend the Terms of
Reference for the Kitchener Growth Management Task Force to allow the appointment of three
citizen representatives was voted on and Lost.
Council agreed to have the names of the two candidates that were tied placed on two separate
pieces of paper, folded and the Mayor would select one of them. The Mayor selected the paper with
the name Sue Morgan.
Moved by Councillor C. Weylie
Seconded by Councillor K. Galloway
"That Daniel Glenn-Graham and Sue Morgan be appointed to the Kitchener Growth
Management Task Force as members from the public at large."
Carried.

appointments to Heritage Kitchener in order to fill two vacancies. Council was advised that of the 15
unsuccessful candidates who had submitted applications for the November, 2006 appointments to
Heritage Kitchener, 12 have requested that their applications stand for the vacancy appointments.
Council then considered the applications and the following applicants were nominated: E. Brown, S.
Burek, Z. Janecki and G. Zeilstra. The approved voting procedure was then utilized.
