All
Council meetings are open to the public. There is a seating area
located within the Council Chambers (building behind Administration
building) for members of the public to observe the meetings.
Citizens attending the meeting are invited by the Mayor to provide
comments during the Public Meeting session during matters related to
land use planning or drainage works.
When Council is required to move into a Closed Session, members of the
public will be asked to leave the Council Chambers. Closed Sessions are
held to discuss the following items: the security of the property of the
municipality or local board; personal matters about an identifiable
individual, including municipal or local board employees; a proposed or
pending acquisition or disposal of land by the municipality or local
board; labour relations or employee negotiations; litigation or
potential litigation, including matters before administrative tribunals,
affecting the municipality or local board; advice that is subject to
solicitor-client privilege, including communications necessary for that
purpose; a matter in respect of which a council, board, committee or
other body has authorized a meeting to be closed under another Act.
