The public has a right to have input as part of the public decision-making process. The methods for doing so include: writing to the Municipal Clerk, submitting a petition, or speaking as a delegation, in accordance with Council’s Procedure By-law. Generally, all submissions and requests must be received ten days prior to the scheduled meeting date for inclusion on the agenda.
Please note: Individuals who submit letters and other information to Council should be aware that certain information contained within their communications (such as their name, and address if relevant to the matter) may become part of the public record and may be made available to the public through the Council Agenda process.
Correspondence may be submitted to the Municipal Clerk for circulation and/or placement on an upcoming meeting agenda. Where correspondence is not requested to be included on a meeting agenda, it shall be circulated by the Clerk to Members, the Chief Administrative Officer, Directors, and applicable staff for their information. Where correspondence has been requested to be included on a Council agenda, or on request by a Member, correspondence is placed on the agenda for consideration. Correspondence may also be submitted directly to members of Strathroy-Caradoc Council but it may not be placed on a meeting agenda unless specifically requested.
