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.

The City Clerk's Department was established August 20, 1912 by Bylaw 425, which stated in part that the City Clerk was responsible for performing all duties required in regard to municipal and school elections and the voting of the burgesses upon referred bylaws. In 1964 the City Clerk ceased to be responsible for municipal elections and censuses. A position of Returning Officer was created within the City Clerk's Department, which took on the responsibility for elections.
