Re: [council] [soac-discussion] Board Resolution re: SAC051 Recommendations

[Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder@xxxxxxxxx>]

If staff does not mind, I think it would be useful to prepare an update as you 
suggest so that Council can then consider whether to send it or not.

Councillors, do you support this approach?

Stéphane
