"Sackville Town Council will meet on Monday for its monthly special council meeting.
A special meeting means no motions will be voted on, and none of the reports that councillors read from are available to the public. The only publicly released document for monthly special meetings is the agenda.
Monday’s meeting will have special guests. Mount Allison’s vice president of finance and administration, Robert Inglis, is on the agenda, as is Lauren Clark, the Energy Projects Coordinator from EOS.
And at the top of the agenda, an item simply reading “RCMP” seems to indicate that an officer will be presenting.
Also on the agenda:
- Council will hear from an Arts Wall Committee member;
- The policy and bylaw committee looks at the Water and Sewer bylaw, specifically the idea of providing Water for Purposes other than those listed in the By-Law;
- The fire department talks about training equipment, specifically a Second Generation Forcible Entry Training Simulator.;
- Treasurer Michael Beal will present end of year finance motions;
- And council will talk about a Public Works gate and rental space for community groups.
Fifteen minutes are set aside for a question period at the end of the public meeting, for questions from members of the public.
Then council will go in camera to discuss two legal matters and one police matter.
Council has already had two secret, or in camera meetings this week, on Monday and Thursday, to discuss a human resources matter.
Monday’s special meeting will be held online, but is open for public viewing via Youtube. Anyone wishing to ask a question, needs to join the meeting using Microsoft Teams.
