Committee of the Whole - Administration and Operations

The Committee of the Whole-Administration & Operations is responsible for matters related to our administration, finances, including capital planning and the annual budget, legal matters, human resources, senior government, and upper-tier matters. While drafting bylaws is the role of staff, the Committee maintains a priority list of bylaws to be reviewed and developed. They also initially review drafted legislation before public consultation.

The Committee is also responsible for matters related to the Public Works Department, Environmental Services Department, Fire Department, and the Parks, Recreation and Facilities Department. Specific areas include the transportation network including our roads and sidewalks, solid waste management including our transfer station and waste collection, the water, sewer and waste water treatment systems, stabilization ponds, municipal drainage, public facilities and the maintenance of the parks, arenas, swimming pools and community halls.
