All delegations shall be afforded five (5) minutes to make their presentation and shall be restricted to the topic as indicated on their written submission.
Where a delegation has addressed Council on a particular issue, if a subsequent request is received from the same delegation to address Council on the same issue, and no new significant information is
being provided, the City Clerk will be granted the authority to not place the item on
the Agenda, but will circulate the request under separate cover as an item of general information.
Delegations concerning a bylaw where a Public Hearing has been held will not be permitted.
If you are on the Agenda to appear as a delegation at a Council or Committee of the Whole meeting, please advise the City Clerk prior to the start of the meeting that you are in attendance, and you will be called upon when it is time to make your presentation to Council.
