- Delegation of Authority By-law Update - 2023-115.pdf
Council is asked to approve a rewritten by-law setting out which decisions and document signings City staff can handle without going to Council, replacing two separate 2013 by-laws that staff found cumbersome. The rewrite merges them into one document and makes administrative updates; staff say it adds no new delegated powers and removes none, though some authorities previously granted through Council resolutions are now written in.

9:50O'Rourke, I think was willing to second. Thank you. Anything on that? Seeing nothing, I'll call the vote. Is anyone against the delegation of authority by law update?
10:01Hearing and seeing none, consider that matter, close. It's unanimous. Thank you.
