Full Resolution Text

Delegations It is proposed that a maximum of ten delegations be permitted at a Council meeting (section 33), in order to support efficient agenda management and ensure that all scheduled business can be completed in a timely manner. This limit would not apply to delegations heard as part of statutory public meetings under the Planning Act or applicable legislation. Following each delegation, Members would be permitted to ask two question related specifically to the content of the delegation, with responses from the delegate not exceeding ninety seconds. This approach maintains opportunities for meaningful public input while balancing the need for orderly and effective meeting proceedings.
