Adoption of the agenda

The committee discussed a request to add a member's research on street and alley naming statistics to the agenda. The administration requested time to validate the data, and it was noted that committees act in an advisory capacity to the City Council. The committee ultimately voted not to include this item and approved a revised agenda structure.

2. Adoption of the agenda

A member wishes to add an item to the agenda regarding statistics she has compiled on toponyms, including those concerning streets and alleys. The objective is to inform members in preparation for decision-making. Pierre Luc Gagné joins the meeting at 3:05 p.m. During the ensuing discussion, it is recalled that requests concerning the Committee must be sent to the generic address for committees and commissions. Furthermore, the procedure is to first engage the administration regarding any request. Considering that the information was transmitted only the day before this meeting, the administration indicates that it needs the necessary time to analyze and validate the information before submitting it to the Committee. Regarding the suggestion to mandate the administration to conduct the research if it is not possible to include this item in the work plan, it is recalled that committees and commissions play an advisory role. Their recommendations are intended for the municipal council, which alone can mandate the administration or not. At the end of the discussion, a majority of members supports the suggestion not to include this item on the meeting agenda. To facilitate exchanges, decision-making, and better manage the meeting time so that recommendations are adopted in a public session, the Chair suggests reorganizing the agenda as follows: items 1 to 5 remain unchanged; 6. Varia; 7. Next meeting; 8. Adoption of the 2024-2025 work plan and 9. Adjournment of the meeting. Deliberations on the work plan will be included in the in-camera session.

It is proposed by Pierre-Luc Gagné Supported by Michel Noreau And resolved to adopt the agenda as modified.
