Consultation has concluded

At its meeting held on March 22, 2021, Sarnia City Council adopted the following motions:

That Sarnia City Council adopt a consistent format for all “Notices of Motion”. The motion will be stated in no more than three sentences. A seconder of the motion will be required before debate and then followed by the mover offering the rationale.

That Sarnia City Council adopt a new procedure related to “Reconsideration Motions” that would require a motion to be presented by a Councillor who previously voted in the majority for a democratically passed resolution.

Amendments to the Procedure By-Law have been drafted to reflect Council’s direction. Copies of the proposed amendment, as well as a consolidated copy of Procedure By-Law #159 of 2019 are available in the ‘Documents’ section of this page.
