Have Your Say on Cobourg Council’s Rules of Order and Proceedings
Cecilia Nasmith/Today’s Northumberland
An extensive review of an updated council-procedural bylaw at Monday’s committee-of-the-whole Cobourg council meeting has resulted in an updated draft on which you can have your say at a Jan. 28 public meeting.
Among other things, the review resulted in such prospective changes as an adjustment to council and committee-of-the-whole meeting times and a regularly set open forum at which citizens can make comments or have questions answered.
The public meeting’s agenda should be on the Town of Cobourg civic web portal (http://cobourg.civicweb.net) by Jan. 10, and the town’s press release sets out a number of ways citizens can participate and offer their input.
Tune in to follow the meeting (if you cannot attend) at the town’s YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/towncobourg).
If you wish to make your own presentation at the meeting, provide a written submission to Municipal Clerk Brent Larmer (e-mail blarmer@cobourg.ca or call 905-372-4301 ext. 4401 for more details) by Jan. 28.
Similarly, if you wish to provide comments, forward them to Larmer by Jan. 28.
The meeting begins at 6 p.m. in council chambers, on the third floor east at Victoria Hall, 55 King St. W.
