A 'special' city council meeting is being held on Monday, October 24, in preparation for the new year.

This meeting will deal with 2017 council, board, and committee operations as well as the members in each group.

Council representatives, Chair, Vice-Chair and citizen representatives for 2017 will be appointed at the meeting and the regular 2017 council meeting schedule and 2017 council calendar will be adopted.

Council is also being asked to establish three boards and one committee by bylaw in the new year, including the Environmental Advisory Board, Community Services Advisory Board, Municipal Policing Advisory Board and Council Budget Committee. These boards and the committee were not previously established by bylaw and council must pass the bylaws for each group to function.

The meeting begins at 6:00 p.m. in Airdrie City Council Chambers.
