| Video Discription | Hey Charlottetown! It’s Charlotte from Charlottetown and over the next few weeks, we will be learning about how Municipal governments work and what they’re responsible for. Today we will be talking about the basics of Municipal Government. In Canada there are three levels of government: Federal, Provincial, and Municipal. The City of Charlottetown is a municipal government. Charlottetown is a full-service municipality, which means the City provides more services to residents than a standard municipality. Municipal governments, like the City of Charlottetown, provide services that are managed locally. These services range from building permits and community events to fire, policing, utility, and more. Municipalities are able to generate revenue from things like property taxes and provincial and federal grants. The head of municipal government is the Mayor who is elected at large, which means they represent the whole city. The mayor has a number of responsibilities, such as recommending directions with regards to bylaws, communicating messages to council, reflecting the will of council, and providing leadership to the council and the Chief Administrative Officer. The Chief Administrative Officer or CAO is the head of administration for the municipality. The CAO can make recommendations to council and is also responsible for many things including finances of the municipality, notifying members of council about council meetings, being responsible for the corporate seal of the municipality and signing all agreements, contracts, deeds and bylaws. Councillors are responsible for considering the well-being and interests of residents and the City. Each councillor represents a ward or area of Charlottetown. All councillors participate in council meetings and contribute to decision making. It is the role of the council to make policies and pass bylaws to provide these services to meet the needs of the public. What is a bylaw? The “by” in bylaw is an old Norse word that means “town.” Simply put a bylaw is a town, or local law. In order for a bylaw to be passed the majority of council has to agree to it through a vote. Once that happens the bylaw must be signed both by the mayor and CAO. Stay tuned next week to find out about the different departments of a municipality and what they’re responsible for!
