President’s Report: 
Wendy thanked everyone for their reports. These items were quickly discussed:
-	The $14,000 Capital Community Fund for Waste Facility.  Should it be repurposed to the Dock because it expires at the end of 2022?  The decision was made not to repurpose at this time.
-	Elections.  All members indicated they would continue in their TIRRA board positions except Vicki did not wish the title of Chairperson but would continue to report.  After discussion it was left to the AGM to fill the vacant committee chair.
-	Thetis Island Community Day June 25th, 2022 to have TIRRA representatives.

Stu raised A Point of Order regarding the suggestion this meeting be focused only on Solid Waste. Motion by Wendy: All committees have provided their reports, with no immediate issues to consider at this Executive Meeting. Moved that this meeting be focused on the Solid Waste facility. Seconded Vicki. Carried. 

Solid Waste Report:
Update from Ernie on efforts and results to re-establish recycling operation in an efficient, green and financially responsible way. No final solution at this time, however, despite efforts it is evident that GFL Chemainus is not a solution due to Recycle BC regulations. CRVD solution under negotiation as we are not able to return to previous arrangements without significant capital cost. 

Solid Waste Review (as agreed at June 2021 AGM)
Paul requested TIRRA Board’s input on the presentation of his completed independent review. Paul to take 20 minutes at the April 28, 2022 AGM, to discuss the 3 summary potential scenarios. Paul was thanked for the 200+ hours he spent on this review. Paul graciously agreed to undertake this review on behalf of the community members at the June 2021 AGM.

Motion by Wendy that the Solid Waste Report (6 pages) is not published before the AGM. Vicki Walker Seconded.  Carried. Discussion included sharing of the full report upon request, after the AGM.

Motion by Vicki Walker that TIRRA seek to have someone hired for the sole purpose of managing the Solid Waste Facility in co-operation with the Solid Waste Chairperson.  Suzanne Sarioglu seconded.
After discussion, Vicki withdrew her motion with intention to bring it forth at the AGM.

Wendy Hinsperger requested the Minutes from the last Executive Meeting being accepted as posted, approved by Stu Downey, seconded by Suzanne Sarioglu, unanimous approval.

Wendy will post the AGM agenda.
