A three-hour discussion ensued over proposed changes to the procedure bylaw at Monday’s executive committee meeting.

There were 21 proposed changes for council’s consideration brought forward at the meeting. Members of the bylaw review committee vetted all amendments that were discussed in order.

Approval required a 5-2 majority because it is the city’s “constitution” and is a “foundational document,” according to a city clerk/solicitor’s department report.

Councillors had mixed feelings about the proposed changes.
