Public Forum Committees
What is a Public Forum Committee? |
Public Forum Committees have been established by Council for each of the City of Thorold's service divisions:
These Committees provide a citizen or a group of citizens the opportunity to meet with Council, the City's Chief Administrative Officer and the appropriate Department Director or senior member of staff to discuss the citizen's concern in a less formal manner than a Council meeting. Specific Councillors are appointed to Chair and Vice-Chair a Public Forum Committee at the beginning of the term of Council. |
How do I request to meet with a Public Forum Committee? |
Make your request, in writing or by email, to the City Clerk at least seven (7) days prior to a regularly scheduled Council meeting. Your request must include a brief description of the issue so that we may prepare for the meeting accordingly.
NOTE: Insurance Claims or legal action against the City are under the purview of the City's adjuster and insurer and may not be discussed at any time with any member of Council or staff. |
