Policy governing public notice of new and revised regulatory bylaws

"That it be a policy of the Cariboo Regional District that the public notification process for new or revised regulatory bylaws be as follows:

1. Regulatory bylaws will be presented for consideration of first and second readings at one Board meeting, consideration of third reading at the next Board meeting, and consideration of adoption at the following Board meeting, except in extenuating circumstances as determined by the Board.
2. Following first and second reading, the proposed bylaw shall be forwarded to the appropriate committee for review.
3. When a new or revised regulatory bylaw is presented to the Board for first and second readings, within one week of being given two readings by the Board, the bylaw will be posted on the website under a link for new bylaws under consideration where it will remain until the bylaw has been adopted. The Board highlights for the meeting at which the bylaw is originally given readings by the Board shall include a notation regarding the proposed bylaw and directing interested persons to the website for further information.
4. Upon adoption of a new or revised regulatory bylaw, notice of its adoption will be included in the Board highlights for that Board meeting directing people to a “recently adopted bylaws” link on our website, where the bylaw will be posted within one week of its adoption and where it will remain for a period of six months, following which it will be available through the normal bylaw links. Further, that dependent on the nature and substance of the new or revised regulations, that a separate press release be issued where warranted.
5. A listing of all new or revised regulatory bylaws will be included in the semi-annual Upfront newsletter distributed to all residents directing the public to our website for additional information."
