The City of Burlington has five standing committees of Council, including:
- Audit Committee
- Budget Committee
- Committee of the Whole
- Council Workshop Committee
- Pipeline to Permit Committee
Standing committees provide a forum for public input, and they make recommendations to Council on issues within their areas of responsibility. All seven members of Council are members of standing committees, except the Audit Committee, which is made up of Council members and community members, and the Pipeline to Permit Committee which is made up of Council members, stakeholders and community members.
Our Procedure Bylaw (059-2024) provides the rules of order for Council and its committees.
