The Village of Montrose Council Meeting Process

The Village of Montrose Council meets in Chambers at the Village Municipal Building.

If a member of the public wishes to be scheduled on the agenda, they may complete a delegation request and provide it to the Village office by the Wednesday prior to the scheduled meeting date.

Delegations

A person or organization wishing to be heard by Council may address Council as a delegate.

1. Delegations are required to submit a Delegation Form before being permitted to present at a Council Meeting.
2. The subject of the presentation should preferably be a local issue over which the Council can have some influence. This would still include items of a Provincial or Federal nature that have general application to all municipalities or to the Village in particular.
3. All requests must be submitted one week prior to the meeting to enable Staff to provide Council members with a copy of the intended presentation and to obtain any necessary background information to properly consider the presentation.
4. The number of delegations on any Council Agenda shall be limited to two (2).
5. All delegations shall be afforded fifteen (15) minutes to make their presentation and answer any questions or concerns from Council.
6. Where a delegation has previously addressed Council on a particular issue, if a subsequent request is received and no new significant information is being provided, the Corporate Officer will be granted the authority to not place the item on the Agenda, but will circulate the request as an item of general information.
7. Delegations concerning a bylaw where a public hearing has been held will not be permitted.

It should be noted that except in urgent cases, Council may not respond immediately to requests made by delegation. Usually, the matter will be taken under consideration and dealt with at a later meeting. Council may also wish to have a report from staff, especially on something of a technical nature which may require some research. The Mayor may indicate when a response will be available but if not, delegation will be advised by the Chief Administrative Officer, or another member of staff, in due course
