Roaming Council Meetings Still Under Discussion

It looks like moving council meetings around is going to be more difficult than originally anticipated.

Late last year council decided to look at moving the Monday night meetings from their normal location at city hall and have two Council meetings in communities like Wallaceburg, Ridgetown, Dresden and others.

In a report from staff, there are a couple of major stumbling blocks, including finding an accessible building that can hold 100 people, the electronic voting system can’t be moved, and associated costs for hall rentals.

Staff has put forward a number of options, including streaming meetings to libraries, offering shuttle services to the civic centre on council nights, or holding more informal ward meetings instead of full council meetings.
