Delegations/Deputations to Board
Any person wishing to appear as a deputation to the City of Orillia Police Services Board at a regular meeting must complete the Deputation Request Form and submit it to Kristine Preston, Executive Director to the Orillia Police Services Board.
Deputation requests are screened by the Executive Director, in consultation with the Board Chair and the City's Chief Administrative Officer. The Executive Director will contact you by telephone, letter or email regarding your request. The Executive Director will inform the Board of requests that are not granted.
If a deputation request is granted, all presentation materials must be submitted to the Orillia Police Services Board's Office by 12:00 p.m. (noon) on the Tuesday prior to the Board meeting date.
Deputation Guidelines
There are some restrictions regarding delegations/deputations:
- The subject matter of the deputation must be within the Board's jurisdiction.
- Any person who has previously addressed the Board on a topic will not be allowed a second deputation, unless the person can prove that there is new information to present to Council.
- A maximum of three speakers will be permitted per deputation.
- Each deputation will be limited to a maximum of fifteen (15) minutes.
No more than two deputations shall be scheduled for any Board meeting, subject to the necessity to deal with matters of an urgent nature.
Deputation Process
Deputations are scheduled at the beginning of regular Board meetings only. If you are chosen to present a deputation, you do not have to read your deputation to the Board. They will have already received a copy of your written submission. Instead, simply state the reason you are appearing, the solution or action you are seeking and the reason for your request.
Following your deputation, members of the Board will then have the opportunity to ask you any further questions, but they shall not enter into a debate. Members of the Board will only interrupt a deputation on a point of order.
After the Board has heard your deputation and the members have asked you any questions that they might have, the Chair will ask you to take a seat in the gallery. Any motions arising from a deputation will be considered under the "Deputation Motions" heading of the agenda. Members of the Board will then discuss the matter and determine an appropriate course of action.
