Petitions

A petition is a request for action. Any elector or group of electors may petition the council to take action. However, the subject of a petition must be a matter on which the council has the power to act.

All petitions must:

• Be addressed to the Council
• Be respectful and temperate in its language
• Set out a concise statement of facts and the action sought
• State the name, address and signature of all electors making the request, including date of signature
