Board Transition: To support the transition of Board membership the CAO/Secretary-Treasurer has written municipal clerks advising them about the legislative provisions for appointing representatives to the Authority’s Board. It is anticipated that not all municipalities will have made their appointments before the Board’s December 13th regular meeting; therefore the first meeting in January will be the inaugural meeting of the new Board.
To support new Board members, staff will be holding a general orientation session in January, a Source Protection Authority (SPA) orientation briefing in February and program briefings in March, April, May and June. These sessions will be an hour long and will be held prior to the scheduled Board or SPA meetings.
In addition, the Authority has put in place a “members only” webpage for board members to access meeting agenda packages and other relevant documents like budgets, annual reports and policies.
Finally, on January 24th, the Authority will host an information session for all members of council from the eight member municipalities. The purpose of this session is to introduce members of council to the work of the Authority. Save the date notices will be sent out prior to the break for the holiday season.
