This land is the ancestral and unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe Nation. We are grateful to the Algonquin ancestors who cared for the land and water in order that we might meet here today. We are also grateful to the Algonquin People for their contribution in the making of the Rideau Canal which runs thru Smiths Falls. We are mindful of broken covenants and the need to reconcile with all our relations. Together, may we care for this land and each other, drawing on the strength of our mutual history of nation building through peace and friendship being mindful of generations to come.1.LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Chair J Miller to read the Land Acknowledgement.2.CALL TO ORDER The Chair called the meeting to order at ----PM 3.APPROVAL OF AGENDA Recommended Motion:THAT the March 17, 2025 Special Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda be approved as circulated. 4.DISCLOSURE OF PECUNIARY INTEREST AND/OR CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND GENERAL NATURE THEREOF 5.APPROVAL OF MINUTES 6.DELEGATIONS 7.CAO/DIRECTORS VERBAL REPORTS 8.COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE CONSENT REPORTS 9.IN CAMERA/CLOSED SESSION 10.PRIORITY ISSUES/REPORTS 10.1BR&E and Investment Attraction Strategy Report 2025-26 (J Crowder) 1.2025-26-EcDev-BRE and Investment Attraction Strategic Plan (Mar 17 2025).pdf10.2Official Plan Vision and Strategic Approaches Report 2025-012 (K Grenke) 1.Report 2025-021 Official Plan Vision and Approaches.pdf10.3Settlement Area Boundary Expansion and Strategic Opportunity Areas Report 2025-022 (K Grenke) 1.Report 2025-022 Settlement Area Boundary Expansion and Strategic Opportunity Areas with MM comments.pdf10.4Annual Remuneration & Expenses Report (P Dowber) 1.2025-25_CORP_2024 Statement of Remuneration and Expenses.pdf11.COMMITTEE, BOARD AND EXTERNAL ORGANIZATION UPDATES 12.INFORMATION LISTING/CORRESPONDENCE ITEMS 13.NOTICE OF MOTIONS 14.ADJOURNMENT Recommended Motion:THAT the Committee adjourn its proceedings XXXX p.m. and stand so adjourned until the next duly called Committee meeting.No Item Selected This item has no attachments.1.2025-26-EcDev-BRE and Investment Attraction Strategic Plan (Mar 17 2025).pdf1.Report 2025-022 Settlement Area Boundary Expansion and Strategic Opportunity Areas with MM comments.pdf1.Report 2025-021 Official Plan Vision and Approaches.pdf1.2025-25_CORP_2024 Statement of Remuneration and Expenses.pdf
