Skatepark Sandy Clarke, Acting Administrator provided highlights of the Report: - The Skate Park Coalition began looking for land available in all municipalities on the West Shore in 2016. The base of the hill towards the Golf Course at West Shore Parks & Recreation was one of the sites considered. A community meeting was had to go over the design ideas. An RFP has been developed and a Geotech report has been completed. The RFP will focus on getting a concept design for the skatepark, and initial cost estimates to build the park. In September, the results of the RFP will be reviewed with the Skatepark Committee and a report will go to the Board of Directors in October. This initial stage will outline the cost of the project without putting the society at financial risk. Discussion: - Mayor David Screech comments that the project should be kept moving forward as it is necessary for the youth in the area. He expressed his hope that collectively we can make it happen, with all owners supporting the skatepark. #### All Reports MOVED/SECONDED BY MAYORS SCREECH AND HAMILTON THAT THE REPORT BE RECEIVED. CARRIED ### e) Special Resolution re: Society Bylaws - Mayor David Screech presented the motions as distributed and asked for approval. - Mayor Carol Hamilton stated that it was just housekeeping that needs to be done. - Mayor John Ranns comments that the motion specifically identifies the role beyond the Chair’s duties and is not equivalent to the role of a Mayor. When referencing the right to suspend the CAO and employees, the key is that the role can suspend, not dismiss. There may be times that the employees and public need protection and there may also be times when an employee needs to be removed from a situation. There may be no time to call the Board together. Beyond that, the Chair would not be doing a lot without input from the Board Members. - Mayor David Screech comments that it is the owners matter to decide. The Chief Administration Officer is accountable to the Chair. The role represents a slightly more authoritative figure. - Sandy Clarke, Acting Administrator comments that the special resolution aligns closely with the Board Policy Manual with regards to the Chair’s position.
