Committees

Committees or subcommittees of the Council are sometimes established to perform specific acts or functions at the Council’s direction, providing an additional level of scrutiny and consideration for Council priorities. Current Council committees and subcommittees are those listed below.

Executive Committee

The Executive Committee, as a subcommittee of the Council, provides a mechanism for Council members to engage within the limits set by the Council by‐laws and the overall statutory framework of the Green Communities Act on consultant oversight and other matters. Specific responsibilities include:

  • Manage Council Consultants; procurement, compensation and general oversight and address operational administrative matters regarding Council consultant.
  • Identify ways to enhance efficiencies in the Council’s activities.
  • Act as a sounding board for Council on emerging issues and initiatives.
  • Make recommendations and report to the full Council on actions and activities of the Committee.

 The Executive Committee developed a Charter that guides its activities. It meets monthly and posts minutes of all meetings and proceedings.
