Back to SearchIn the fall of 2019, the Municipality published a series of articles seeking input from residents regarding the composition of Council. As the current term of Council is nearing an end in 2022, Council is interested in providing another opportunity for residents to provide input on the composition of Neebing’s Council.
In the 2019 articles, we explained the differences between elections “at large” and elections by geographic ward. In addition, we looked at the possibility of reducing the size of Council from seven to five members.
Over the next couple of months, we will provide different opportunities for members of the public to provide feedback on the size and make up of Neebing’s Council.
Comments can be submitted by completing the survey found on our website at www.neebing.org/notices.
Your feedback is important – but we have not heard from very many of you. These are the questions we have asked:
- Is it important to you to have a “ward councillor”, elected to represent your geographic township’s interests? Or would you be comfortable having all Council members elected “at large”?
- If you are a fan of the “ward councillor” system, are you comfortable with the way the wards are drawn up? Or do you think the ward boundaries should be changed? If so – how do you think they should be changed?
- Are you comfortable with a 7-member Council when most other rural municipalities opt for 5-member Councils?
If you have not seen the previous articles or would like a refresher, they are posted on our website at www.neebing.org/notices. Alternatively, contact the office, and we can make paper copies of these articles available to you.
We look forward to your input. Make your voice heard on this important matter.
