How to approach Town Council with issues or concerns
Providing Council with issues as information only
If you have an issue you would like to present to Town Council as information, please submit it in writing, addressed to Village Council:
- Drop Off: 5007 50 Street, Myrnam, Alberta
- Mail: Box 278, Myrnam, Alberta, T0B 3K0
- Email: admin@myrnam.ca
Providing Council with issues to be formally addressed
If you have an issue you would like Council to respond to formally, submit it in writing to the attention of Village Council (see informayion above) by noon the Wednesday before a regular council meeting. Regular council meetings are held on the third Thursdays of the month.
Presenting issues to Council in person at a council meeting
There are two ways to make a physical presentation to Council at a council meeting: as a Delegation or during Open Forum.
Delegation: Submit a summary of your presentation on a Delegation Form, include any relative documentation and any specific requests, and direct it to the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO). The Chief Administrative Officer will review the request and either deny the request based on insufficient or irrelevant information or accept the request by signing the form and notifying the applicant of an available meeting date. Plan to keep your presentation under ten minutes to respect the time of Village Council and other delegations. Following your presentation, Council may ask a few brief questions for clarification. The presentation by a delegation may only be:
- received as information without debate;
- referred without debate to a Standing Committee or the Chief Administrative Officer for a report, or
- debated if by a 2/3 majority vote a resolution is passed to allow a motion to be made without notice.
Either way you will be advised of the result.
Open Forum: Individual members of the public are provided an opportunity as part of each Regular Council meeting to address Council on any topic relevant to municipal government for a period of time not to exceed two (2) minutes per person. The information or comments heard may or may not be actioned by the Council. After a person has spoken, any Councillor may, through the Mayor or other presiding officer, ask that person or the Chief Administrative Officer relevant questions but may not debate the matter or the answers.
Actions by Council may only be:
- receiving the information without debate;
- referred without debate to a Standing Committee or the Chief Administrative Officer for a report; or
- debated if by a 2/3 majority vote a resolution is passed to allow a motion to be made without notice.
If you require further information regarding any of the above, please refer to the Council Procedural Bylaw or contact the CAO at 780-366-3910 or cao@myrnam.ca.
