From time to
time council will hold forums. Forums are to brief elected members on emerging
issues, or get an indication of councillor preference before initiating a
policy or project, or provide an opportunity for the council to develop ideas
and to be informed of the options and issues the council may face. Forums
cannot be used to make decisions. These
sessions are not open to the public or the media.
The Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act in relation to meeting establishment does not
apply to forums
