1. CALL TO ORDER 
“Please note, the order of agenda items may be modified during the meeting. Times are provided 
for convenience only and are subject to change.” 
Chair Fast called the meeting to order at 10:01 am.  She introduced Trustees, staff and recorder; 
and acknowledged that the meeting was being held electronically in territory of the Coast Salish 
First Nations that includes K'ómoks First Nation. She explained that this meeting has a limited 
agenda with matters of a time-sensitive nature for consideration; and due to technical and staff 
limitations public participation is not possible at this meeting. 
2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA 
A Trustee expressed concern regarding the absence of opportunity for public participation in 
today’s agenda, expressing a desire to enable the ability to have Town Halls or Delegations in 
electronic meetings. Chair Fast advised of technical issues and staff limitations that are 
contributing to this situation, reported that this is a topic for discussion at the next Trust Council 
meeting, and noted that the next Local Trust Committee (LTC) meeting may be held in person 
and would include public participation. 
By general consent the agenda was approved as presented.
