    Motion
    Moved:              Cr Stewart
    Seconded:           Cr Stockwell
    That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Lorentson and determine that it is in the public
    interest that Cr Lorentson participates and votes on this matter because Council believes that a
    reasonable person would not have a perception of bias because Cr Lorentson nor her children stand to
    receive a personal benefit or loss in relation to this matter, and therefore a reasonable person would
    trust that the final decision is made in the public interest.
