Rather than appointing councillors to committees, Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps said she plans to have more of a discussion with council.
“Rather than being dictatorial and appointing people, I’ve organized it so council can have a conversation about who wants to do what,” said Helps.
“People will express their interest … and that way we can learn a little more about each other’s gifts and passions and go from there.”
The appointments will take place at Thursday’s governance and priorities committee meeting.

• Governance and Priorities
