At the beginning of each term, Council may also be advised to make appointments to ad hoc committees that it considers desirable for the effective governance of the City where:

• it is feasible to define a specific mandate and time-frame for the ad hoc committee to conduct its work
• there is an absence of staff capacity or expertise on the subject, or there is a specific community of interest with a unique perspective on the proposed mandate
• there is a need for information gathering and analysis to inform subsequent deliberations at a standing committee

• a specific term
• the composition of membership of the committee and meeting procedures
• the specific mandate/objectives
• the specific standing committee it will report to after every meeting
