"Delegation" is the term used to define the process whereby an individual or group appears before City Council to make a presentation, enter a request for action, register a complaint, bring Council up to date on a project/idea/concept, or to provide further information on an issue currently before the Council for a decision. 

Persons wishing to address City Council as a delegation should contact the Director of Legislative & Administrative Services at 250-787-8150 well in advance of the preferred meeting date. The earlier the request is submitted, the better the chance to obtain the preferred meeting date.

Delegates need to provide the following information to Legislative & Administrative Services:

· Name(s) of Speakers
· Topic(s) to be discussed
· Identification of any audio-visual equipment needed for the presentation.

The delegate is requested to provide a written submission to the City outlining their presentation to Council. The package must be received at City Hall on the Thursday prior to the preparation of the meeting's agenda package.

Upon receipt of a request, the Legislative & Administrative Services Department will follow-up with a telephone call advising the delegate of the time and date the delegation is schedule for.

Delegations are limited to a 10 minute presentation regardless of the number of people in the delegation, i.e. one person uses the full 10 minutes, two or more people split up the 10 minutes however they wish.

Upon completion of the presentation, Council will ask questions if they feel clarification or additional information is needed.

The Mayor should be addressed as "Your Worship" or "Mayor Lantz"; the Councillors should be addressed as "Councillor ".

It is understandable that delegates may be nervous, but remember that Council is very familiar with this process and is very understanding of the nervousness and tries to set a comfortable and welcoming setting for all. Council is very sympathetic, wants to hear delegations, and encourages participation. So, remember Council wants you to come forward and be heard; so ‘speak up because you are important' and ‘you do make a difference'.

Alternately, citizens may wish to correspond with Council.

Letters should be addressed to:

Mayor and Council
10631 -100th Street
Fort St. John, BC
V1J 3Z5

Or faxed to:

Mayor and Council
Fax Number: (250) 787 8181

If you wish to address Mayor and Council you must make arrangements to appear as a delegation with the Legislative & Administrative Services by contacting Janet Prestley, at  250- 787-8153 or Joanne Caldecott at 205- 787-5796.
