What are Committees of Council?
Members of Council are assigned three committees to be apart of during their time on council. The Town of Leader has six committees of council, each with a specific focus, and each committee is comprised of 3 Councillors and the Mayor.
The purpose of these committees is to increase the operational efficiency of Council. The committee meet as frequently as required to review and discuss municipal services and operations before making recommendations to Council.
The CAO and other staff members provide reports to these committees which the committee will review and discuss and then make a recommendation to Council. This helps to streamline the number of items requiring review and discussion at Council meetings.
To find out which committees a council member is part of go to Council Bio’s.
