Other items:

• Schreiber Public Library Board minutes were included.
• Waste water management report also included.
• Question period will be moved to a different time during the meetings. Having the question period follow Delegations provides an opportunity for feedback from the public prior to approval of council bylaws. 
• Under Communications items are referred to by number and the first one was a request to support the proposal to create more awareness in support for women victims of abuse in the judicial system.
• A preliminary Budget report was presented by the Treasurer. It highlights trends and changes in the upcoming budget and has to be discussed before any budget is adopted. One of the greatest concerns going forward this year is the high rise in fuel costs for both heating and operations. 
• There seems to be a lack of interest in attending the AMO conference this year. 
• The summer meeting schedule will reduce council meetings to once a month for July and August. 

Other Business includes a bylaw to rescind Covid regulations as it is thought they will no longer be necessary for the time being.

Question period protocols were discussed and included the possibility of virtual attendance that was normally only allowed during emergency conditions. Live streaming will also be retained in order to keep transparency.

A new bylaw to replace the sale of lands current one was discussed. It adds new conditions that should prevent speculation and empty buildings that currently occur during sales and auctions.

Finally the standardization and implementation of work orders and maintenance documents will bring the system up to date.
