At a special meeting held earlier today, Brossard’s municipal council appointed Stéphanie Quintal, municipal councillor for district 3 (sector A), to act as deputy mayor. This appointment takes effect tomorrow, May 27, and will remain in effect indefinitely.
The deputy mayor has and exercises the powers of the mayor when the latter is absent from the territory or is unable to fulfill the duties of her office. In this capacity, Ms. Quintal may be called upon to submit to her colleagues any information and suggestions relating to the well-being and progress of the Brussells community for adoption by the Council of by-laws, resolutions, obligations or contracts granted by the City. In addition, it could ensure that by-law provisions are faithfully and impartially enforced.
Last but not least, the deputy mayor may also be called upon to maintain order and decorum by presiding over a Town Council meeting, or to address various speakers connected with the Town.
In accordance with the Cities and Towns Act, a municipality is required to have a deputy mayor at all times.
