Meetings

Council Meetings
More council meetings will assist with time management when planning agendas to ensure staff reports, delegations, public meetings, etc., can be scheduled effectively to ensure Council is able to complete all items for consideration at the meeting. Additional council meetings will reduce the number of items being presented per evening, which will ensure all items can be considered. Moreover, additional Council Meetings will allow for notice of motions to be considered sooner at regular Council meetings.

General Committee Meetings
General Committee meetings are being scheduled monthly for staff to bring forward items that require greater input and dialogue from General Committee before being presented to Council for final approval. General Committee meetings will allow staff the opportunity to bring forward options for debate and discussion. If required a final report will be prepared and presented to council at a future meeting should a recommendation be required. The intention is to have the discussion and direction provided by General Committee included in the Council report.

Workshops

Council – Staff Workshops
A new format for Council – Staff Workshops will include a public facing collaborative gathering session designed to foster communication, cooperation, and collective problem-solving between the staff members and city council. Workshops will serve as a platform for open dialogue, idea exchange, and mutual understanding between staff and council. Workshops can be held in various formats, such as roundtable discussions, brainstorming sessions, team-building exercises, or structured problem-solving session. No decisions will be made at the Council – Staff Workshops, however direction can be provided which may be forwarded to council in the future for consideration. Specific and targeted items will be planned for that require a greater deal of dialogue with staff and members of council. The Council – Staff Workshops will typically be held in the Council Chamber at City Hall from 5 to 8 p.m.
