WHEREAS City Council on December 5, 2018,
considered the 2018-2022 Council Governance Review and approved the Council, Committee and Commission Calendar and Meeting
Locations [Part I(A), Recommendation 7], which provided that regular
meetings of the Finance and Economic Development Committee (FEDC) are held in
the Champlain Room; and
WHEREAS although Subsection 81(1)(a) of the Procedure
By-law provides that the regular meetings of Standing Committees shall be
held “at such time and at such place as shall be determined by
Committee/Commission,” FEDC has not considered its meeting location further to
Council’s approval of meeting
locations through the 2018-2022 Governance Review report; and
WHEREAS Subsection 81(5) of the Procedure
By-law provides that, “A Member of Council who is not a Member of a

endorsed the approach that Standing Committees are the “working Committees” of
Council; and

to consistent issues regarding matters such as audio, technology, translation
and seating/space; and
WHEREAS moving regular meetings of FEDC from the
Champlain Room to the larger and better-equipped Andrew S. Haydon Hall (Council
Chambers) would provide for non-Committee members to fully participate in FEDC
meetings in accordance with their rights as a Member of Council under the Council-approved
Procedure By-law; and
WHEREAS placing signage at and around the
Champlain Room and other City Hall locations on FEDC meeting days would ensure that
members of the public are advised of this Standing Committee’s meeting location
in Andrew S. Haydon Hall;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that regular meetings
of the Finance and Economic Development Committee be held in Andrew S. Haydon
Hall as a pilot project to be reviewed at the time of the 2018-2022 Mid-term
