Council has established a number of Council Committees through a Council Committees Bylaw which contains the terms of reference for each Committee. The Council Committees Bylaw outlines the powers, duties and functions for those Committees. The Council Committees Bylaw excludes the Assessment Review Boards, Camrose Emergency Management Committee, Camrose Police Commission, Camrose Library Board, Camrose Intermunicipal Committe and the Subdivision and Development Appeal Board as they governed by their own Bylaw.
The composition of the majority of the Council Committees contains both Council members and members-at-large from the community who are appointed by Council. There is no remuneration for member-at-large appointments with the exception of the Assessment Review Boards, however training is mandatory.
Each year Council recognizes the important contribution members make to the community. Council hosts an Appreciation Luncheon in July or August and a Recognition Ceremony in January of the following year for those members whose term expired. A formal acknowledgement is given to each member. Preview the Recognition of Member at Large Appointments Policy.
Member-at-large applications are accepted throughout the year as vacancies become available and as terms expire December 31st. View Volunteer Opportunities.
