Committees
The City of Peterborough has several legislated and advisory committees that provide input and guidance on the provision of municipal services and programs for our community. Visit our Committees page to find brief descriptions of these legislated and advisory committees of Council.
| Procedure By-law |
| Based on the recommendations of the Procedure By-law Review Committee, City Council passed By-law 21-104 at its November 29, 2021 meeting.
The changes to the City's Procedure By-law, summarized below, are intended to improve clarity of procedure and meeting efficiency, offer additional tools for delegations, and create consistency between meeting modes. Opening of Meeting The opening of meetings will be conducted as follows:
Other Business Items at Committee Meetings To improve transparency, new items of business will not be introduced under Other Business unless a vote of two-thirds of Council supports the addition of the new item. Instead, a Notice of Motion will be introduced on General Committee and Finance Committee meeting agendas. Motions introduced using the Notice of Motion provides greater transparency for both members of Council and the public and would require a majority vote to approve. Electronic Recorded Voting/Paperless Agendas The Procedure By-law has been amended to show that all votes at meetings of General Committee (open sessions only), Finance Committee, and Council will be recorded votes. Lost/No Decisions by Standing Committees The Procedure By-law wording has been clarified regarding the recording of Lost/No Decisions in section 26.1. Where a Standing Committee has not made any recommendation related to a motion provided in a staff report, the LOST motion will be added to the appropriate report on a Council agenda under the heading “Not Recommended by Committee”. Public Participation The following list of changes in the Procedure By-law are intended to better organize public delegations at meetings, improve meeting efficiency, offer modern tools for the public to provide comment and information to Council, and bring consistency with electronic meeting processes:
