Move to bi-weekly Tuesday meetings coming in February

Lost in the discussion over changes in public presentation rules after the passing of the amended procedural by-law at last Monday's council meeting are the changes in dates and times of meetings. Meetings will switch to Tuesdays from Mondays and, beginning next month, will start at 6:30 p.m.

Beginning Tuesday, Feb. 7, committee and council meetings will be held on the same night every two weeks. Committee meetings will begin at 6:30 p.m., with council meetings to begin no later than 7:30 p.m. The council meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. whether the committee meeting is finished or not. If there are no items to be addressed at the committee level, the council meeting will start at 6:30 p.m.

CogecoTV will continue to broadcast both meetings in their entirety and the live stream available on the City's website will operate as usual. The new calendar of meetings eliminates the need for a summer schedule, which was another contentious issue in 2016.
