City Council - Special Meeting

Très bien. J'ouvre maintenant cette réunion extraordinaire du conseil municipal de la ville de Santa Fe, en date du 10 septembre 2026. Nathalie, veuillez faire l'appel, s'il vous plaît.

Maire Brandon Noto.

Présent. Un nouveau nom.

N'est-il vu ?

C'est impressionnant, Nathalie.

Maire adjoint Burton-Marx. Councilor Estrada. Councilor Macamé.

Present.

Councilor Mojica. And Councilor Dickerson.

Present.

We have the quorum.

Thank you, Councilor. We have already prayed and made a sermon tonight. If there are no objections, we will pass this point. Very well.

Thank you.

Yes, we agree. Well, that's true. Very well. Point number 4, case A, new cases, examinations and possible actions concerning the nomination or reconduction of three members of the Economic Development Society for a two-year mandate expiring in September 2029.

I would just like to announce that there is clearly an error of strike and that it should be 2028. Something to add from the person?

Okay. The council was included in a letter. You also have them here in person. Four candidates. We have Gary Somerville, Matt Crabble and Pam Schwerner-Igmoum, who are already in the council, who have asked for their reconduction. And then the Mayor-Adjoint of Marx also submitted a candidate. I suppose that, as usual, I invite if there is one of the Current members or candidates, if they wish to speak to the Council, I will certainly give them the opportunity to do so.

Hello, I am Pam Schwertner. I live at 4222 Jensen Drive and I would like to request my reconduction to the Council of the SDE. I was strongly involved in our first acquisition of land. And what counts the most for me is to see it come to fruition and to see the development and the way in which communities prosper thanks to this development.

That's it. Very good. Does anyone have any questions?

Thank you very much.

All right, thank you.

Anything else? That depends on the person who proposes the motion. Totally, it depends on the person who proposes the motion, but... Matt was the second, Gary the fifth, and... the sixth. I'm going to go to the council.

I wanted to deal with this during a session, but we didn't do it.

So now I'm going to address it publicly. We have members of the EDC who have used their personal ABF1 post. They have reprimanded municipal officials. And I know it happened. There is another person on this platform who knows that it has happened. Several people on this platform know that it has happened. And I want to know if we have to report this to discuss it or if we have to continue our motions to name these people at the council tonight. We don't know. There is a point on the agenda currently on the table. It is therefore up to the Council to decide how it wishes to proceed. I propose that we continue the nominations and that we start with the posts one by one. I would say that if this person is named, I will file a motion to register him the order of the day so that it is revoked. The floor is yours.

I propose to bring Matt Crane back to position number 2 of the Santa Fe Economic Development Corporation.

He was proposed and supported to bring Matt Crane back to position number 2 of the Santa Fe Economic Development Corporation. Nathalie, the nominal appeal, please.

Councilor Dickerson? Councilor Marx? Councilor Schrader?

Yes.

Councilor Macamé? And Councilor Jeannette?

Yes. The motion is adopted. Thank you, Councilor. I propose to nominate Gary Somerville to the position number 5 of the Economic Development Corporation.

Who pressed?

Pressed by you. It has been proposed and supported to bring back Gary Somerville to the 5th position of the Santa Fe Economic Development Corporation.

Council, are there any other discussions?

None. Nathalie calls the floor. Please.

Councilor Schrader?

Yes.

Councilor McKinney? Councilor Jeannette? Councilor Dickerson?

Yes.

And Councilor Marx?

The motion is adopted. I propose to bring back Pam Shortner to the 6th position of the EDC. It has been proposed and supported to bring Pam Shortner back to the position number 6 of the Santa Fe Economic Development Corporation. Council, are there any other discussions? There is none. Nathalie, the nominal appeal, please.

Councilor Marx. Councilor Schrader.

No.
