Speak Before Council (Delegation)

Anyone who wants to speak at a public Council meeting must register as a delegation before the deadline to save their place on the agenda. See the Register as a Delegation section below for more information.

Council has approved a rotating schedule each year for the Acting Mayor. The Acting Mayor is a member of Council who fills the Mayor's role in the case that the Mayor is absent from a meeting due to illness, out of town attending a conference or otherwise, or if the Mayor’s seat becomes vacant. The Acting Mayor may be called up to chair Council meetings, represent the municipality at official functions, and carry out the duties of the head of the Council as needed.
