- Convenes a Planning Committee meeting (comprising all seven councillors) to only discuss planning related matters usually on the first Thursday of the month. The Planning Committee will include Community Access on the items on the Planning Agenda, with a Council Meeting to follow, to specifically adopt the recommendations of the Planning Committee; and

This Council Meeting will include consideration of Notices of Motion, Questions on Notice, Mayoral Minute and all other reports. A Community Access session will be held at the commencement of the Council Meeting for members of the public to discuss pertinent matters other than planning matters.
