Last week’s City council meeting saw an amended organizational and procedural by-law pass its first reading.  

The by-law, which governs the City and its committees, must be reviewed by council at least once per term.

City Manager Gary Ceppetelli highlighted some of the major changes being made to the by-law. One is the addition of a communications committee. Council will also now be able to establish an aboriginal advisory committee thanks to the addition of a clause.   

The by-law will still need to be read a second and third time before it becomes law. Council hopes to have it passed before the re-organizational meeting of council in November.
