May 26th
The City Clerk's Office is launching the Meeting Monitor for the May 26-27, 2008 City Council meeting. Previously only available for committee meetings, the Meeting Monitor has now been expanded to include meetings of City ... (more) Council.
Find it at www.toronto.ca/meetingmonitor. We will be updating the status of the meeting and every agenda item in real-time. The Meeting Monitor will go live before the meeting Monday morning and will remain on-line after the meeting until the Decision Document is published.
With the introduction of the Meeting Monitor, we will no longer be posting the "Green Sheets" online before the meeting, or publishing a "Quick Reference" document after the meeting. Instead, visit www.toronto.ca/meetingmonitor to access the same information.
Features of the Meeting Monitor:
- Check on the real-time status of the meeting and every agenda item
- Find the order of business for the day's session
- Find new items and supplementary reports added since the agenda was published
- Filter agenda items for held, adopted, amended, deferred, referred or remaining items
- Filter agenda items by committee
- Print your own customized order paper (but only if necessary!)
- Click through on an item to find recommendations, reports and other background information
- Check it from any computer connected to the internet
The Meeting Monitor will not yet work on Blackberrys or other mobile devices, but we're working on it. We will be launching a mobile version soon!
Important note: Adopted items are sometimes reopened during a Council meeting for further amendment. Until the confirming by-law is passed and the meeting is complete, the status of any item is subject to change. The Meeting Monitor should not be used as a substitute for a official copy of an agenda item.
The Meeting Monitor is part of the Toronto Meeting Management Information System. Since the start of the term we have been phasing in TMMIS to manage committee and Council business. We are starting to use it for Council meetings in May and by the end of 2008 we will be managing the whole committee and Council cycle using TMMIS.
