The Problem
After numerous attempts to get council to follow its own Procedure Bylaw 6250 and the Municipal Government Act by making inquiries and politely asking for justification, City Council has moved in the right direction.
A bit.
They have actually started to address the agenda in official agenda order!
They have started to adopt amendments to the agenda before acting on those agenda items.
And sometimes --sometimes-- they follow the MGA before moving into closed session.
Not today, though. Also at least one time in the previous meeting. So maybe 10-20 times in the last year.
It shouldn't be that difficult. Madam City Clerk probably even has the motion on paper in front of the Mayor.
So where do I turn?
I've tried 311. I've tried Mayor and Council feedback form. I've tried conversations councillors. This is still a problem.
So I sent a message to the Minister with some details and asking for advice on how to proceed.
Time will tell.
