That item is placed on file. Next item. Are there any late items? I think that's the end of the agenda. Are there any late items?
All right, very well. Thank you. That item is placed on file. Councillor Scott.
Yes, there we go. That has placed on file, and we will have a properly noticed item at the next meeting. Since these are late items that were not listed, we're going to refrain from having any deliberation on them, lest we trip over any rules and make anybody upset. However, you can say lots of things when I ask if there's any other late items.
I'm happy to have a conversation with you about how your succession works according to our charter.
Councillor McLaughlin moves to adjourn. Seeing no discussion, we are adjourned. Thank you, folks.
All right, we'll call this meeting to order. Wow, that's a fun echo. Recordings in progress. We've got a fun echo. We've got a little bit of a new of an audio setup. As if anyone can't figure that out on their own. I'm going to keep talking here and see if the folks in the back can resolve this because this is not sustainable. Brendan, give me a flag from back there if there's progress. Or you want me to recite some poetry or sing a song? Welcome to the new curtain-less council chambers. The clerk noted that with the new backdrop behind me, I can get my passport photo from a person to save me…
I do like that it sounds like we're all enthusiastically welcoming each other. Here, here.
All right, I'll call this meeting back to order. Madam Clerk, would you please, actually, I can see that there's a quorum in the room, so I think we're good there. All right, here's where we are. We have a new sound system here in the chambers. It is not functioning the way it did just an hour ago when they tested it or a few days ago when they tested it. We don't know why, we'll figure it out. For now, we got a lot of work to do, so we're gonna move forward. Hopefully everyone at home and in the recording some years later, if you're watching this, hopefully you can hear me. We are still…

Alright, that brings us to the first of our out-of-order items this evening, and It's a long list, so bear with us, but we want to make sure that we get some important things out of the way, just so you all understand. We try and bump things up as close to the beginning of the meeting…
Why don't you give us the Cliff Notes version, Mr. Mayor?
Be happy to receive some remarks from the folks, absolutely. Why don't you introduce the folks, or have them come up and introduce themselves for the record, and the floor is yours.
