Thank you. Good afternoon. Welcome to Vernon City Council. On Monday, June 26th, 22nd, 2026, at 1.33 p.m. Pardon me, I had a few difficulties getting on electronically. I call this meeting to order. Pardon me. As Mayor of the City of Vernon, in the spirit of this gathering, I recognize the City of Vernon is located in the traditional territory of the Seal people of the Okanagan Nation. Ms. Wood, are there any amendments to today's agenda? Nothing from staff. Your Worship. Council, can I have a motion? Councilor Munn, Councilor Garris, any comments on the agenda? Seeing none, call the question. All those in favor? Those opposed? Motion is carried. Could I get a motion to adopt the minutes and receipt Committee of the Whole, regular minutes, on June 8th, 2026, and special council meeting on June 3rd, 2026, and Committee of the Whole on June 8th, 2026. Councilor Guy, Councilor Fair, any comments on the minutes? Seeing none, call the question. All those in favor? Those opposed? Motion is carried. So I'm going to go around the front for this next.
