BioGRID Joint Board Agenda

June 25, 2015 8:00 AM

1. Call to Order
2. Declaration of Pecuniary Interest and the General Nature Thereof:
3. Minutes of Previous Meeting May 15, 2015
Motion: (move and second)
Be it resolved that the Joint Board Minutes of May 15, 2015 be adopted as presented,
including any revisions to be made.
4. Hearing of Delegations or Deputations
1) Conestoga Rovers & Associates (RFP Partnering to be presented)
TEF Note: There was nothing in the pre-meeting information package for this Agenda item. I believe
the information on the table at this meeting was: 1) the report by Conestoga-Rovers consultants
presented to the Chatsworth Council on June 17, 2015 (click here); the Draft RFP documents for
partnering also prepared by C-R and provided to me on the morning of June 24, 2015 (#1 here, #2
here); and an email from Chatsworth resident Bob deJong who is evidently still providing some
(badly-needed) advice to the Chatsworth Council. This email was not made available to me until I
requested it at the first opportunity (Agenda Item 7); considering that it was sent by Mr. deJong on the
evening of June 23, the Chatsworth Council evidently also had it at their meeting on June 24, 2015.
