Who runs the CAT and how does it work?

CAT participants run it in coordination with Council members whom they assist, taking into account their needs and concerns. Robert’s Rules of Order (which the government also uses) is its parliamentary guide. They meet, elect officers, and form committees to research and draft positions for the CAT’s final report that is provided to one or more Council members, to the whole Council, and/or to the public. It can also conduct various activities in its work to engage the public.
