According to the agenda, questions could be asked about issues for which the council has a responsibility. Questions had to be submitted in writing in advance of the meeting.

The agenda noted that the chair of the committee had the discretion to reject a question if it required the disclosure of confidential or exempt information, was defamatory, frivolous or offensive, or concerned a matter for which the council was not responsible.
