The London City Council voted to adopt Resolution 134-25, which establishes the London Gateway New Community Authority and defines the authority’s political and corporate boundaries. During discussion, a council member moved to amend the paragraph addressing appointment of board members so that council would have 10 days to name its representatives and at least one nominee must have the consent of the London City School Board.

After a second, council members voted to adopt the resolution as amended. Council members asked procedural questions about whether a special meeting would be required if the names could not be chosen within the 10-day period; staff replied that a special meeting would be scheduled if necessary.

The resolution as adopted provides for the authority’s creation and sets a process for naming board members, but the council did not name individual appointees during the meeting.
