From: Will Hall
Dear Porirua City Council,
I was just wondering that if during a committee meeting, where there are councilors present at the meeting but not a voting member of the committee itself, can the non-members raise and second resolutions for the committee?
That is all.
Yours faithfully,
Moana Wesson
