This end of October meeting has a lot of action, and most of it will be happening in the closed meeting agenda. No big deal. There should be some action in the main portion of the meeting though with some discussion about election behaviours and expectations, plus an update about the rationalization of back office functions at the City of Guelph. (Don’t worry, there’s a whole other meeting for this week.) Check out the preview below. Continue reading “City Council Preview – What’s on the Agenda for the October 28, 2025 Meeting?”

It’s been a fairly action-packed couple of weeks a city council, and there are at least a couple of action-packed meetings left on the schedule for 2024, so maybe it’s nice that we got an easy week in the chambers with a couple of laid back, fairly administrative items that we get this time every year.
