The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington
By-law 2021-035
Being a By-law to amend By-law 2014-094, a by-law to
establish a municipal service board to control and manage
activities at the Newcastle Village Community Hall
Whereas Council deems it necessary to allow the Newcastle Village Community Hall 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 2014-094 be amended as follows:
That the following new section be added:
15.1 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; 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 1s' day of March, 2021.
