The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington
By-law 2021-033
Being a By-law to amend By-law 2008-037, a by-law to
establish a Municipal Service Board to operate the
Newcastle Memorial Arena
Whereas Council deems it necessary to allow the Newcastle Arena Board to participate
electronically in meetings;
And whereas Council passed Resolution #GG-230-20, arising out of Report CLD-011-20, to
authorize remote participation for local board meetings;
And whereas the Resolution #GG-230-20 directed that the Terms of Reference for all Council
Advisory Committees be amended to allow for electronic participation up to, and including, all
members and members of the public;
Now therefore be it enacted that By-law 2008-037 be amended as follows:
That the following new section be added:
5.2. A member of the Board is permitted to participate electronically in a meeting
and may be counted in determining whether, or not, a quorum of members is
present at any point in time. All, or some, members may participate electronically in
meetings. Meetings can be held in person when Public Health restrictions permit;
and
For clarity, a Member of the Board may also participate electronically in a meeting
that is closed to the public, if the meeting is properly held in closed session ( i.e. the
deliberations are permitted to be conducted in closed session, moving from open
session to closed session, and then rising and reporting, and maintaining minutes of
both the closed and open portions of the meeting).
Passed in Open Council this 1st day of March, 2021.
