Vaughan brings efficiencies to the Committee and Council Meeting cycle
Image
The City
of Vaughan values civic engagement and public feedback. That is why Council
meets regularly to discuss issues impacting the community. Beginning September
2019, there will be an updated meeting cycle that includes two Committee of the
Whole Meetings, one Committee of the Whole (Public Hearing), one Committee of
the Whole (Closed Session) and one Council Meeting.
The
first Committee of the Whole Meeting each month will consist of Planning and
Growth Management items and the second will focus on items that would previously
have been considered by the Finance, Administration and Audit Committee (FAA)
and the Committee of the Whole (Working Session).
This new
structure helps enhance the City’s efficiencies and meet legislative timelines
for decisions. Implementing these changes to Committee and Council Meetings
is part of the City’s commitment to delivering inclusive, transparent and
accountable decision-making which is a priority in the 2018-2022 Term of
Council Service Excellence Strategic Plan.
The
details can be found in the Committee Structure
Review Report
approved by Members of Council in June 2019.
