"Delegation" is the term used to define the process whereby an individual or group appears before Council in order to make a presentation, enter a request for action, update Council on activities, or to provide further information on an issue currently before Council for a decision.
The process is governed by the rules set out in the Council Procedure Bylaw. The following is the procedure for a member of the public to request to appear as a delegation:
- Submit the Online Delegation Application Form through the website no later than noon on the Wednesday prior to the meeting at which you wish to appear.
- The Administrator will review the application and reach out for any questions that need to be clarified.
- Once all information is received, your delegation will be assigned an appropriate date. Every effort is made to assign a date as soon as possible, depending on various factors. The Administrator will respond to the request by telephone or e-mail, advising of the date of the Council meeting when they are scheduled and the time they should appear.
- The presentation is limited to 10 minutes, regardless of the number of people in the delegation.
- The Administrator must be in receipt of any presentation materials by the agenda deadline.
