Attend Council Meetings
Council meets on the second and fourth Monday of every month. To speak or make a presentation at a Council meeting, please contact the City Clerk of City Manager. Requests must be received by noon the Thursday prior to a meeting and clearly state the reasons for their desire to address Council and the subject must be relevant to issues within Council’s jurisdiction. The request shall contain a description of the issue or issues to be addressed by the delegation, together with a summary of the action or actions to be requested of Council by the delegation.
 
During the meeting:
1.    Prior to addressing members of Council, all persons wishing to speak on behalf of themselves or a delegation shall state their name for the record.
2.    Unless the presiding Officer otherwise permits, spokesperson for any one delegation shall be limited to one (1) individual.
3.    Persons attending Council as a delegation are expected to address Council in fifteen (15) minutes or less and then avail themselves for questions from members of City Council.
4.    The spokesperson shall confine comments to the subject matter contained in the original communication to the City Clerk or City Manager.
 
Council Committees
Public input is accepted, and often requested, at the committee stage, where many issues can be resolved prior to a matter coming before the whole of Council.  The City has several different standing committees providing recommendations on a wide range of programs, policies and services including: Administration & Protection, Works & Utilities, Community & Leisure Services, and Community Development.  As with Council meetings, all regular committee meetings are open to the public, with the exception of a very limited number of meetings permitted to be held “in-camera” by The Local Authority Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
 
Aside from the formal committees, Council members are also involved as representatives for the City with other Boards/Committee Events such as:
  • Humboldt Reid-Thompson Public Library
  • Humboldt & District Museum & Gallery
  • Humboldt District Hospital Foundation
  • Saskatchewan Watershed Authority
  • REACT Waste Management
