The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington
By-law 2025-017
Being a By-law to amend the Delegation of Authority By-law 2024-042
Whereas Subsection 23.1(1) of the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, authorizes a
municipality to delegate its powers and duties under the Municipal Act or any other Act
to a person or body, subject to the restrictions set out in the Municipal Act;
And whereas Subsection 270(1)6 of the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, states that a
municipality shall adopt and maintain policies with respect to the delegation of its
powers and duties;
And whereas Subsection 275(6) of the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, states that
nothing in this section prevents any person or body exercising any authority of a
municipality that is delegated to the person or body prior to nomination day for the
election of the new council;
And whereas the efficient management of the municipal corporation and the need to
respond to issues in a timely manner require Council to entrust certain powers and
duties to Committees and Staff while concurrently maintaining accountability, which can
be effectively accomplished through the delegation of legislative and administrative
functions;
And whereas, arising out of Report PUB-005-25, the Council of the Municipality of
Clarington has deemed it desirable and efficient to delegate certain powers to enhance
the efficiency of its decision making and administrative processes;
