Adjournment Page 5 of 165 Page 6 of 165 AGENDA ITEM #4.1 Page 1 of 4 Municipal Report Subject: Bill 197-Procedural By-law Amendment Meeting: Special Council Meeting - 04 Aug 2020 Prepared For: Council in Committee Staff Contact: Sue Klatt, CAO/Clerk RECOMMENDATION: THAT Council accept the CAO/Clerk report on Bill 197 An Act to amend various statutes in response to COVID-19 and to enact, amend and repeal various statutes. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Bill 197 received royal assent on July 21, 2020. Among other changes, Bill 197 repealed those subsections of the Municipal Act, 2001 that permitted electronic meetings during the declared emergency. Bill 197 also allowed for amendments to Procedural By-laws to allow to continue holding future electronic meetings where councilors are counted in for quorum. I have attached S.12 of the Bill 197 for Council information. The Bylaw as presented on this agenda rescinds the previous amendment allowing for electronic participation under the Provincial Emergency Order. The By-law as presented does not include Section 243.1(1) referencing and allowing for Proxy Vote. It is my recommendation that this would require a further discussion about the impact and challenges to implement proxy voting allowing a member of the council as a proxy to act in another councilor's place when they are absent. Should Council wish to consider allowing proxy voting it can be discussed and the Procedural By-law could be amended accordingly at a later time.
