Scope and content
This series contains minutes from various Council Committees. Much of City Council's business was conducted through these Committees, which then reported to Council. Many specially appointed committees existed, as well as two standing committees: the Bylaws Committee (1922-1965) and Finance Committee (1914-1965).
In an attempt to streamline meetings, in 1965 the Committee of the Whole was established, replacing the Bylaws and Finance Committees. The Committee of the Whole met prior to Council meetings to listen to delegations and consider matters, and bring forward recommendations to the regular Council meeting.
