End

 

INFORMATION:

 

Pursuant to Council Procedure Bylaw, 2022, No. 3081, section 16.0 Presentations, there is a limit of two presentations that may be scheduled to each regular Committee of the Whole meeting. Additional presentations may be scheduled by resolution of Council.

 

Staff are in receipt of a request to make a presentation at the Committee of the Whole (COTW) scheduled to be held August 21, 2023. Two presentations have already been scheduled for that meeting agenda. The additional application was received from Thinkeco Power Inc respecting battery powered train technology in the CRD. This presentation has been or will be received by several neighbouring municipalities in the coming weeks.

 

If Council is willing to add an additional presentation to the August 21, 2023 COTW meeting, the following motion would be appropriate:

 

That Council authorize staff to schedule an additional presentation to the August 21, 2023 Committee of the Whole meeting.

 

If Council does not wish to schedule the additional presentation, in accordance with the 2023 Regular Meeting Schedule, the next COTW that this presentation could be scheduled to would be October 23, 2023. The appropriate motion would be:

 

That Council receive staff report ADM-23-024 for information.

 

Staff will follow up with the applicant and advise of Council’s direction and schedule the presentation accordingly.
