City Council Preview: Monday, March 20, 2017

Depending on how many members of the public are in attendance for the Budget consultation and Committee of the Whole session, tonight's council meeting might make for a pretty quick review of civic business for the final public gathering of March.

Only one item, a variance permit request, makes for a discussion topic on the Agenda listings for the evening, while the end of the session will be available for any comments or thoughts from the city's council members.

You can review the background documentation for tonight's Regular Session from the Agenda Package here.

Council will also be holding a Closed Session for this evening starting at 5 PM, the city citing criteria from Section 90 of the Community Charter, noting that the public is to be excluded from those deliberations for the the following reason.
