  1. CALL TO ORDER

 

Brent Mersey, Chair, called the meeting to order at 7:10 p.m.  As many new members were present, the Chair invited everyone present to introduce themselves and speak about their personal background.  Due to his connection with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, on behalf of the Committee, the Chair asked Justin Chin to try and acquire a copy of their Terms of Reference for comparison.

 

  1. TERMS OF REFERENCE – MARKHAM CONSERVATON COMMITTEE

 

After a brief exchange concerning the Mission Statement for the Markham Conservation Committee, it was agreed to defer further discussion and decision until the changes are made to the current Terms of Reference.  In response to a query about the process, the Chair indicated that he will set up a meeting with Mavis Urquhart and Allan Seabrooke to discuss the recommended changes prior to the September meeting of the Committee.  Once the Terms of Reference are ratified at the September Conservation Committee meeting it will be sent to the Commissioner of Community and Fire Services for a report back to the General Committee of the Town of Markham as request on June 11, 2007.
