Council operates according to procedural by-law 2011-11 under a Committee of the Whole system. Under this method of governance, the entire council meets regularly as a committee to hear and discuss matters before recommendations are made for consideration by Council. A separate Committee of the Whole meeting is held monthly in Johnstown to consider matters directly relating to the operation of the Port of Prescott.
