The Eastern Charlotte Council held their June 2023 regular council meeting in St. George at Magaguadavic

To kickstart the meeting, the council sought a motion to accept the agenda for the night. Councillor Lee proposed the motion, which was seconded by Councillor Tidd. The motion passed unanimously, allowing the meeting to proceed smoothly.

Next on the agenda was the adoption of the minutes from the previous council meetings. The council reviewed the May 17, 2023 regular meeting minutes, and Councillor Tidd moved to approve them. The motion was seconded by Councillor Lee, and after a brief discussion, the motion passed unanimously. Following this, the council also approved the special meeting of council on June 6th and the June 13th closed meeting of council minutes.

While the council couldn't provide immediate approval, they encouraged Dewar to submit a formal letter outlining her plans for further consideration.
