At the beginning of each term of Council, appointments are made to advisory committees or other bodies that Council is obliged by law to make. 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
