CORRESPONDENCE TO THE TOWNSHIP OF ORO MEDONTE CONCERNING NOTTAWASAGA VALLEY CONSERVATION AND LAKE SIMCOE REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
The motion, as the minutes record it: Moved by: Councillor, G. Harvey Seconded by: Deputy Mayor R. Thomson That the City Clerk prepare correspondence to the Township of Oro-Medonte indicating that the City of Barrie has seen positive progress with the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) and is not prepared to support the amalgamation of the NVCA and the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA); and That a copy of this correspondence be circulated to the NVCA, LSRCA, affected municipalities and local MPPs. A point order was raised by Councillor, G. Harvey.
"Yes" is a vote to carry that motion; "No" is a vote against it. Where the motion adopts a report section "as circulated", the vote covers everything in that section, this item included.

How to read this table. Most council business passes on consent with no member-by-member vote in the minutes. When one appears is itself a recording practice that has changed with the City's minutes systems — routine in the era through 2019, usually on a member's request from 2020 on. So this is the complete set of votes the minutes record by name, not of positions taken — absence from this table is not absence of a position. The voice votes are in the record too: every motion outcome printed in every council meeting's minutes — 2,872 across 257 meetings, beside these 178 recorded votes — each listed on its meeting's page, always as an outcome and never as anyone's position, because a voice vote records none. The public record also has a hole: the City's meeting system lists no meetings at all between October 22, 2025 and January 20, 2026, so any recorded votes from that window are missing until the Clerk provides the minutes. Where the minutes print no outcome beside a vote, none is shown here.

Decided on voice votes
A voice vote records an outcome and nobody's position. That is how council disposes of most business — the recorded votes above exist only where a member asked for one. The motions below are outcomes only; reading a member's view into any of them is reading beyond the record.

Derivation: every motion outcome printed in this meeting's minutes that was not decided by a recorded vote, extracted mechanically from the archived minutes text — complete by construction, nobody chose which motions to show. Item numbers are those printed within each motion's block; a motion adopting a whole committee-report section lists the items that section carried. Motion text is the operative clause as printed, cropped for the table.
