Tonight most likely will bring only a short housekeeping session for the city's elected officials with City Staff advising of a Special City Council Session, set for 5 PM tonight.  

The Agenda notes making for the start of the approval process for the City's Financial Plan and Property Tax Bylaw, with a request for First Second and Third readings of each Bylaw. 

There are no other items listed on the Agenda.

An advisory at the top of the Council Agenda Page charts the course of action for the Council sessions which have now returned to the City Hall Chambers and reopened the doors for the public.

The update offers up guidance for the public on how they can participate with the civic process.

Council has also scheduled a Closed session for 5:30 PM, that meeting listed as being closed owing to discussions related to litigation or potential litigation affecting the municipality
