St. Catharines Council approves new procedure by-law

  • An updated procedural by-law, which governs the proceedings of St. Catharines Council meeting, was approved by councillors.
  • Changes approved include provisions to permit electronic participation moving forward; moving to a one-meeting system (i.e. just holding Council meetings instead of holding both Council and General Committee on the same evening); publishing timelines; the start time for Council meetings; and clarifying rules regarding reconsiderations, delegations, and the use of ballots (when required).
