Montreal appoints Possa to committee

Summary#

Montréal city council unanimously adopted a position to appoint Bruno Possa to an existing technical committee under bylaw RCG 05-002, for one year. The agglomeration council makes the final decision at a later meeting.

  • Possa, Kirkland’s public works director, would replace Erik Rolland, the outgoing public works director of Pointe-Claire.
  • The existing committee has nine members drawn from employees of the linked municipalities: five from Montréal and four from the other municipalities.
  • The committee can propose updates to the maintenance guide, set or update the annual-report format, review municipalities’ annual reports and report on them to the agglomeration council, and make recommendations about applying the bylaw.

What it means for you#
