Open to the public, these less formal meetings of Council provide a forum in which Council receives delegations from the public as well as presentations from staff on items requiring more in-depth explanation, discussion and Council feedback.

Council-in-Committee Meetings are streamed live online and accessible through the City’s website.

In-Camera Meetings are "closed" meetings held in the absence of the public. Council is only authorized to hold in-camera meetings under the circumstances set out in Section 90 of the Community Charter. Closed meetings are held to discuss and make decision on matters pertaining to: 

• Information that is prohibited from disclosure under the Freedom of Information and Protective of Privacy Act
• Law enforcement
• Litigation or potential litigation
• Personnel, land, labour or employee negotiations

In-Camera Meetings are generally held in the afternoon immediately following Council-in-Committee Meetings.

Public Hearings are held in order for local residents to provide input that will assist Council in the decision making process related to applications for change to an Official Community Plan or Zoning Bylaw. Public Hearings are generally held on the 4th Monday of each month in the Council Chambers at Coquitlam City Hall and are immediately followed by a Regular Council Meeting at which Council will give consideration to items on the Public Hearing Agenda, as well to any other items brought before Council at that time.
