Speaking Before Council

Governed by the South Huron Procedural By-law, Council agendas are published four days before the meeting and minutes are posted after they are approved at the following meeting.

If you wish to speak with Council or a committee, please complete a Delegation Request Form. Correspondence must be received by noon on the Tuesday prior to the scheduled committee or Council meeting. Correspondence includes, but is not limited to, the following: letter, memorandum, report, notice, electronic mail, fax, petition, etc. The Clerk reserves the right to withhold any correspondence from the agenda, any item that may be considered inappropriate or offensive in nature.

Please ensure that any information that may be personal in nature is removed from this written material as it becomes a part of the public Council Agenda Package. Council receives the agenda package digitally, therefore, the Clerk requires any written materials be provided digitally (i.e., preferably be email).

Why can't I be put on the agenda tomorrow?

To meet the requirements for accountability and openness, sufficient notice must to be provided so that members of the public are aware of what will be discussed at the meeting. Council also needs to know the reasons you are attending and staff need time to generate background information. This notice period is outlined in the Municipality's Procedural By-law.
