Coldstream council is one step away from changes that the mayor says will give its members more flexibility if they are not able to attend meetings in person.
At its Feb. 12 meeting, council will consider adopting changes to its procedure bylaw that would:
- allow a council member to attend, by electronic means, up to four consecutive regular council meetings and four consecutive committee of the whole meetings, without authorization of council
- allow a maximum of two members to participate electronically at any given meeting.
Mayor Ruth Hoyte said the measures will update its 2019 bylaw to reflect changes to the community charter that expand the rules around electronic participation of council members.
