How to present an issue to the Sooke Council
If you have an issue you wish to be considered by Council, submit a letter outlining your concerns and either:
Mail it to:
Mayor and Council
District of Sooke
2205 Otter Point Road
Sooke BC V9Z 1J2
or Email
or Phone: 250 642 1634
or Fax: 250-642-0541
District of Sooke staff will advise you when the item is scheduled to appear on a meeting agenda. You do not need to be present at the Council meeting for Council to consider your issue. However, should you wish to supplement your letter by making a verbal presentation at the Council meeting, please follow the procedure described below for requests to “appear as a delegation.”
Individuals wishing to “appear as a delegation” should send a letter of request or complete the Request to Appear as a Delegation form, providing sufficient detail to describe the topic, the presenters and meeting date they wish to appear. The letter or completed form should be submitted to the Clerk by 4:30 pm on the Tuesday prior to the meeting. This procedure provides Council an opportunity to prepare, resulting in a prompt and informed response.

Is the same procedure necessary to speak at the Public Input portion of the Committee of the Whole as it is to speak at a regular Council meeting? From experience, there needs to be some clarification on that for both the public and the Council.
