During a discussion of the council’s code of conduct, implemented about a year ago, the mayor introduced a motion Monday to ban all electronic devices at meetings. If the bill passes, council members would benefit from an observer tasked with providing only necessary information. “It comes from the fact that we want to make sure that the decisions that we make are all based on the same information and that no outside information comes into play in any of those decisions,” Dyas told Global News on Tuesday.
