ANNEX B – MOTIONS
- Lansdowne Committee
Financial Motion re: Lansdowne 2.0 appeal to OLT
Whereas the GCA has previously approved payment of $5k from GCA reserve funds to establish a financial retainer with legal Counsel, Sylvain Rouleau of Weirfoulds LLP to support the Ontario Land Tribunal appeal re: Lansdowne 2.0;
Whereas $3k in funds are also required on an immediate basis to put a retainer in place with expert planner, Sean Galbraith;
Whereas an updated cost estimate that includes both legal counsel as well as required expert planning opinion is anticipated to be in the range of $50-$70K;
Whereas the GCA’s intention is to fundraise as much as possible to cover appeal expense, rather than relying further on GCA funds;
Therefore be it resolved:
That the GCA approve that a $3K retainer for an expert planner be paid on an immediate basis from GCA funds, with the intention of recovering those funds as well as future appeal costs through a fundraising campaign as much as possible.
- GCA Annual General Meeting
Be it resolved:
That the GCA allocate $750 to cover costs of its Annual General Meeting including 1/4 page ads in two issues of the Glebe Report and refreshments for the AGM.
