Subject: [EXTERNAL] Official Information request - Council Procedures, Non
Voting Members Present.

 

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
