In accordance with creating a friendly and approachable environment for delegate(s) to meet with the Council, it is recommended that the Public of Happy Valley-Goose Bay:

1. Notify the Town Manager or his designate of their intention at least 30 minutes before the meeting providing their name and contact information, and make it known of the issue that
they wish to convey so that the Town Manager may present it to the attention of the Mayor/Council members before the Council meeting begins. The Mayor and Council have the
right to limit and discreet the number of delegate(s) presentations before each Council meeting.

2. At the time of the notification the delegate is given ten (10) minutes maximum to discuss their concerns or issues. After the presentation, the Mayor and members of Council may ask questions or make comments on the information presented.

3. In consideration for the length of Council meetings, delegates(s) may wish to bring forth their issues/concerns in a written request that includes the subject of the presentation, name, and
