That the 2020 Committee and Council Meeting Schedule appended as Attachment #1 to Report CLK 04-19 be approved; and, 2. That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take the necessary actions as indicated in this report. 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 7665/18, the 2020 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 2020 Meeting Schedule. Discussion: In the spirt of openness, transparency and accountability, the adoption and posting of the annual Committee and Council Schedule 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 states all regular meetings of Council shall 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. 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 in the Council Chambers, 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 holidays and/or significant events or dates. CLK 04-19 October 7, 2019 Subject: 2020 Committee and Council Meeting Schedule Page 2 In addition to regular Committee and Council meetings, and in coordination with the appropriate City Staff, dates have also been included for the Executive Committee Budget meeting and the annual Civic Awards Ceremony. Statutory holidays have also been included on the Meeting Schedule for ease of reference. It should be noted that due to the implementation of the new HR and Financial systems, an alternative Executive Committee Budget Meeting date has been included as a place holder at the request of the Director, Finance & Treasurer. It is anticipated that the new systems will be launched in January 2020 which would result in the Budget Meeting Dates being set for April 16 and 17, 2020; however, if the launch is delayed, the February 13 and 14, 2020 dates will remain. It is requested that Council adopt the Schedule as presented with the understanding that Staff will remove one of the Budget Meeting dates as needed. Once approved by Council, the Meeting Schedule will be posted on the City's website and circulated to Members of Council and Staff in accordance with Standard Operating Procedures.
