(b) That the CAO be directed to facilitate discussions between Administration and the St. Albert Community Midwives organization, with the goal of presenting to Council as soon as reasonably practicable any required amendments to the Land Use Bylaw and/or to relevant statutory plans in order to make possible the establishment of a birthing centre in St. Albert that corresponds with the concept described in paragraph (a) of this motion;
(c) that the Committee’s resolution passed on January 13, 2020,
