Council draws on the expertise of citizen volunteer members of advisory committees and boards to provide input on matters within the town.
Council invites you to volunteer your time and experience to participate on advisory committees and boards. All Oakville residents are encouraged to get involved promoting and strengthening the sense of community, diversity and multiculturalism. Visit the Advisory Committees and Boards page for more information.
Standing committees are sub-committees of Council, which review specific issues as identified in their mandates and provide recommendations to Council for its final approval. There are three standing committees of Council as follows:
Administrative Services Committee meetings are held every four weeks on Monday evenings starting at 7 p.m. at Town Hall. Changes to this meeting schedule may be authorized by Council. An earlier start time may be authorized by the Mayor, when required to ensure enough time is available for the committee to complete coverage of scheduled agenda items.
The committee shall address administrative issues, primarily relating but not limited to, services within the scope of responsibility of the CAO’s Office and the Corporate Services Commission. The committee shall also address the review of corporate policies, appointments of members of the public to advisory committees and other committees established or supported by Council and all issues relating to the internal and external auditors, including the system of internal control and financial reporting process.
