The April 10 Accessibility Advisory Committee minutes on council’s May 13 agenda do not accurately reflect the motion made regarding my delegation.

On April 10, I asked the committee numerous questions about accessibility at the proposed hotel at 256 Dalhousie. 

Following my delegation, Chair Shirley Curson-Prue asked, “Could I have a motion to receive the report please?” The audio is available online. No report was presented, and the minutes incorrectly state the motion was ‘that the delegation be received.’ 

During my June 23, 2022 delegation at the Amherstburg Accessibility Advisory Committee meeting, I mentioned that one question that is repeatedly asked is do we need a motion. I also encouraged the committee to review duties of the Chair and members.

Following my delegation, Chair Shirley Curson-Prue asked, “May I have a motion to receive this document?” The audio is available online. No document was presented and the June 23 meeting minutes incorrectly state the motion was ‘that the delegation be received.’ 

If administration is correcting improperly stated motions, perhaps committee members need training to accurately word motions, especially to receive delegates who are not pieces of paper.
