The Town of Ingersoll will provide alternate means of submitting a delegation request to persons with disabilities upon request. Delegation Rules of Procedure and Decorum
Submitting a Delegation Request Following the DeadlineSubmitting a delegation request past the deadline established by the Procedure By-law impacts the openness and transparency of Council meetings as such requests are not reflected on the agenda, which is the document used to make the public aware of what will be considered at each meeting. Persons who, subsequent to the preparation of the agenda and prior to the commencement of a meeting, request to be heard and apply in writing to the Clerk, may only be heard upon majority approval of Council at the time of the discussion, if it is considered either a) urgent business; or b) related to matters listed on the agenda. Post-DelegationStaff reports required to provide further information as a result of a delegation shall be referred to the appropriate department and will be brought back to Council at the next appropriate meeting.

This information will become part of the public record and will be reflected in the meeting’s minutes and may be included on the Council agenda. As agendas are legislated to be published for public viewing we stress that any sensitive or personal information not for publication be redacted to protect privacy rights. Please also bear in mind that all meetings of Council are open to the public (unless the meeting is closed in accordance with S. 239 of the Municipal Act) and that regular meetings are recorded by Rogers and also live-streamed to the Town’s YouTube channel and then archived to its website.
