OCM 15 DEC 2020 · ITEM 16.8 · RES 1512/26

Annual Schedule of Meeting Dates 2021

Carried 9–0

Adopts 2021 Audit and Risk Committee meeting dates of 2 February, 11 May, 17 August and 16 November, without the recommended removal of delegation 1.1.1 that would have closed future committee meetings to the public.

What it changed. Alternate to the Audit and Risk Committee's recommendation: changes the 2021 meeting dates and removes point 2, which would have closed all future Audit and Risk Committee meetings to the public.

Reasons given in the minutes. To better align the Audit and Risk Committee meeting dates with other Council and Committee meetings. The reason for point 2 of the motion is that Delegation 1.1.1 currently given to the Audit and Risk Committee is a mandatory legislative function that each local government must do. The delegation 'to meet with an auditor' given to the Committee in this respect is not a decision-making function and is therefore not a true delegation of power.

Moved by Brent Fleeton, seconded by Rebecca Gordon.
