duties of the head of council. Council, on November 21, 2022 passed By-law 2022-121 providing
a rotating schedule for the appointment of the Acting Mayor.

Council is being requested to approve an amendment to By-law 2022-121, which substitutes
Stephanie Stretch for Aislinn Clancy after January, 2024. Further the Acting Mayor By-law is
also recommended to be updated to clarify the roles and responsibilities of the Acting Mayor to
confirm their authority to execute documents in place of the Mayor, the head of council, when
the Mayor is absent, or refuses to act or if the office is vacant.
The proposed amending By-law has been included as an attachment to this report.
