Executive Summary: In accordance with Section 238(2) of the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O 2001, c.25, every municipality shall pass a procedure by-law for governing the calling, place and proceedings of meetings and the procedure by-law shall provide for public notice of meetings. To comply with the provisions of the Municipal Act and Procedure By-law 7926/22, the 2023 Committee and Council Meeting Schedule is presented to Council for approval. Financial Implications: There are no financial implications associated with this Report or the adoption of the 2023 Meeting Schedule. Discussion: In the spirt of openness, transparency and accountability, the adoption and posting of the annual Committee and Council Meeting dates is an important exercise to ensure as much advance notice is provided to the public for upcoming Committee and Council Meetings. Section 04.02 of the Procedure By-law provides for all regular meetings of Council to be held on the fourth Monday of each month at 7:00 pm and if a Council Meeting falls on a public or civic holiday, the Council shall meet at the same hour on the next following day, which is not a public or civic holiday, unless otherwise provided by resolution of the Council. Section 04.05 states the Executive Committee shall meet on the first Monday of each month at 2:00 pm, and the Planning & Development Committee shall meet on the first Monday of each month at 7:00 pm, unless otherwise provided by resolution of the Council. Every effort has been made to adhere to the above noted provisions of the Procedure By-law and any variances or adjustments are due to statutory holidays and/or significant events or -aft;of- Pl(KERJNG CLK 05-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: 2023 Committee and Council Meeting Schedule Page 2 dates. In addition to regular Committee and Council meetings, and in coordination with Community Services Staff, a date has been included for the annual Civic Awards Ceremony being May 15, 2023. In coordination with the Director, Finance & Treasurer, budget meeting dates have been scheduled for April 13 and 14, 2023. The last recession was in 2009 and the City’s budget for that year was a recessionary budget that reflected Federal and Provincial grant announcements. By scheduling the budget meeting dates in April, it will enable the City’s 2023 budget to include any and all capital grant announcements which senior levels of government may announce. With the potential review of large scale capital projects for the new Council, this will allow staff to plan accordingly. Education and Training Sessions, In-Camera meetings, and other Special Council meetings are not included in the schedule, however these meetings can be called by the Mayor if required. Statutory holidays have been included on the Meeting Schedule for ease of reference. Once approved by Council, the Meeting Schedule dates will be posted on the City’s Event Calendar and circulated to Members of Council and Staff in accordance with Standard Operating Procedures.
