Council will submit four separate motions calling on the government to make Roads to Recovery funding permanent; pursue constitutional recognition for local councils; hold an annual forum with the Prime Minister and Cabinet in a regional city with a population of more than 50,000 and assist effected airport owners with funding to address poly-fluoroalkyl (PFAS) contamination.
