Note it's another early start – this meeting is being tucked in before the regularly-scheduled 7pm City Council meeting.
The new Committee structure is announced, with some big changes. And the Lobbyist Registry proposal is back – definitely a "win" for transparency, if it goes through this time (see comments below).

Memo: https://barrie.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=11517686&GUID=A34F832E-CD53-4EF6-B831-B2E21120E98B
Direct staff to investigate the feasibility of a Lobbyist Register to ensure public disclosure of lobbying activities and to oversee the regulation of lobbyists' conduct
This was proposed by Councillor Aylwin in 2019 – while Engage Barrie didn't exist at the time, many of our members supported this proposal back then, and it was on our founders' list of top priorities when we were dreaming up the organization. Unfortunately, the proposal didn't gain any traction at that time – hopefully this re-introduction will produce better results.
