Clive updates bylaws
Clive is reviewing its out dated bylaws that deal with its public hearings, council inquiries and responses.
During Village of Clive’s regular meeting June 26 council started reviewing the procedural bylaw that was adopted in 1995.
The bylaw’s purpose is to give a standard and clear format for media, administration and the public to help everyone understand council’s decision-making process of neutrality, equality, fairness and democracy, CAO Kenney said in her report.
Council set its summer meeting dates as July 17 and August 21. Their regular meeting schedule will continue in September.
