3. Policy No. C – 300.22 Appointment of Officers, Standing Committees, Commissions, Bankers, Solicitors, etc.

This policy was created in 1992 and is no longer needed due to the following reasons:

• Officer positions are designated through Officers Bylaw No. 712, 2008 with specific individuals established into these officer positions by resolution at the time of hiring.
• The appointment of Standing Committees is covered under section 141 of the Community Charter. The Procedure Bylaw No. 677, 2007 covers the appointment of Advisory Committees.
• With respect to Boards and Commissions, the only group in existence at this time is the Board of Variance. Section 899 of the Local Government Act covers the appointment and term for the Board of Variance members.

Conflict of interest provisions for Council are covered under section 117 of the Community Charter and as well in Council's Procedure Bylaw No. 677.

5. Policy No. C – 300.30 Advertising Public Information Meetings

For significant projects, practice in recent years has been to develop an accompanying community engagement strategy.

This policy is overly prescriptive with respect to tools and timelines and does not reflect today's technology and changing public expectations for community engagement. As well, the policy does not reflect the potential different approaches that should be employed, dependent on the nature of the project. This policy is not required.

6. Policy No. C – 300.33 Economic Development Standing Committee Terms of Reference
