[0:00:11] Trustee Luckham: Well, good afternoon, everyone.

[0:00:13] Trustee Luckham: Welcome to a special meeting of the Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee.

[0:00:18] Trustee Luckham: We will be going to in-camera for the purpose of this meeting.

[0:00:22] Trustee Luckham: And so I'll just do the normal sort of opening just for the record.

[0:00:30] Trustee Luckham: And welcome, everybody.

[0:00:32] Trustee Luckham: My name is Peter Lockham.

[0:00:33] Trustee Luckham: I'm elected on Peter Sound and the chair of the Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee.

[0:00:37] Trustee Luckham: Today, I'm joined by Laura Patrick, a locally elected trustee on Salt Spring, and Peter

[0:00:43] Trustee Luckham: Grove sends regrets.

[0:00:44] Trustee Luckham: It's spring break, and he had grandchildren commitments and is unable to join us today.

[0:00:51] Trustee Luckham: With us on the staff front, we have Stefan Cermak, the regional planning manager, and

[0:00:56] Trustee Luckham: Louisa Garbo, our planner for the Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee.

[0:01:03] Trustee Luckham: So thank you, everyone.

[0:01:04] Trustee Luckham: I want to recognize that we are meeting in the Coast Salish Territories, the Salish Sea.

[0:01:12] Trustee Luckham: I'm elected in the Penelope and Laxon Territory region.

[0:01:17] Trustee Luckham: And, of course, there's a number of nations that have interests on Salt Spring Island

[0:01:21] Trustee Luckham: and the surrounding areas and want to acknowledge their history here.

[0:01:25] Trustee Luckham: The richness of the culture is here for us to learn about

[0:01:29] Trustee Luckham: out and encourage everybody to do so if opportunity arises. So I have a very brief agenda here in

[0:01:38] Trustee Luckham: order to go in camera to a closed meeting. So I'll call the meeting to order and ask if there's

[0:01:43] Trustee Luckham: any additions to this short agenda. Not hearing any, then I will continue on to request, approve

[0:01:52] Trustee Luckham: the agenda and then request Trustee Patrick, if you would like to make the motion for us to go

[0:01:58] Trustee Luckham: in camera

[0:01:59] Trustee Patrick: i'd be happy to that um i move that the salt spring island local trust committee

[0:02:04] Trustee Patrick: closed this meeting to the public subject to community charter section 91 a personal information

[0:02:09] Trustee Patrick: about an identifiable individual who holds or is being considered for a position as an officer

[0:02:15] Trustee Patrick: employee or agent for the municipality or other position appointed by the municipality and staff

[0:02:20] Trustee Patrick: shall be invited to remain.

[0:02:26] Trustee Luckham: Last time I checked, we weren't a municipality.

[0:02:30] Trustee Luckham: I'll forego that.

[0:02:34] Trustee Luckham: Obviously, I just say that this is the local trust committee.

[0:02:41] Trustee Luckham: So I don't know how that gets in there, Stavon.

[0:02:44] Trustee Patrick: It's the language of the community charter.

[0:02:49] Trustee Patrick: It's

[0:02:49] Trustee Luckham: a direct quote of the legislation.

[0:02:53] Trustee Luckham: Yeah, it's interesting.

[0:02:54] Trustee Luckham: I raise it because I don't think we often say that on other LTCs, but that's fine.

[0:03:01] Trustee Luckham: So, therefore, moved and seconded, and I'll second it.

[0:03:06] Trustee Luckham: And we'll now close the meeting to the public and open an in-camera session.

[0:03:14] Trustee Luckham: So, Rob, if you'd turn off the live streaming and recording, we'll be in great shape.

[0:03:18] Trustee Luckham: We're getting on that now.

[0:03:19] Trustee Luckham: Okay. Well, we have just returned from an in-camera meeting, and we've opened the meeting to the public.

[0:03:30] Trustee Luckham: And I would like to report out that the Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee has appointed Jennifer Maximets, Martin Ogilvy, Francis Carlin, Robert Steinbeck, and Kathy Ramsey to fill the vacant seats on the Ganges Village Planning Task Force.

[0:03:50] Trustee Luckham: I want to thank everybody that wrote to us expressing an interest in being on the committee.

[0:03:57] Trustee Luckham: We have chosen to not do the full compliment in order to avoid complications associated with quorum and an interest in the committee for being a little smaller to make the discussions a little more manageable and just want to respect that.

[0:04:17] Trustee Luckham: So thank everybody that applied and welcome the new folks to the Ganges Village Planning Task

[0:04:25] Trustee Luckham: Course. And if I might just echo the words of Trustee Patrick, we're very interested in creating

[0:04:30] Trustee Luckham: a plan here for the future, a good plan for the future of the Ganges Village. And so with that,

[0:04:38] Trustee Luckham: do you have any further remarks from our meeting, Trustee Patrick, or shall we just adjourn?

[0:04:44] Trustee Luckham: No,

[0:04:44] Trustee Patrick: we don't.

[0:04:46] Trustee Luckham: Okay. So, I want to thank the staff and thank Trustee Patrick for being here today

[0:04:51] Trustee Luckham: and looking forward to seeing the meeting of March the 22nd. Unfortunately, I will be unable

[0:04:59] Trustee Luckham: to attend and Dan Rogers will be chairing that meeting for us. So, thank you very much. Have

[0:05:04] Trustee Luckham: Have a great day.

[0:05:05] Trustee Patrick: Bye-bye.

[0:05:06] Trustee Luckham: Bye now.
