By-law 2016-082
Being a by-law to amend By-law 2015-029, a by-law to
govern the proceedings of the Council of the municipality of
Clarington, its General Government Committee, its Planning
and Development Committee, and Special Committees,
regarding recorded votes at Committee meetings.
Whereas Section 246(1) of the Municipal Act, as amended, provides that:
If a member present at a meeting at the time of a vote requests immediately
before or after the taking of the vote that the vote be recorded, each member
present, except a member who is disqualified from voting by any Act, shall
announce his or her vote openly and the clerk shall record each vote;
And Whereas the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington deems it
advisable to amend By-law 2015-029, to change the existing practice which prohibits
recorded votes at Committee meetings;
Now therefore be it resolved that the Municipality of Clarington's Procedural By-law be
amended as follows:
1. That By-law 2015-029 be amended by deleting section 10.13.10 and replacing it
with the following section:
10.13.10 A Recorded Vote shall be in order at Council, Committee and
Local Board meetings, and may be requested immediately
before or after the taking of the vote."
2. That By-law 2015-029 be amended by deleting the word "Council" in section
10.13.11.
3. That this by-law shall come into full force and effect upon its passage.
Passed in Open Council this 11th day of October, 2016. J
