In municipalities with a population of 20,000 or more, the municipal council, at the request of one-sixth of its members, deliberates on the creation of an information and assessment mission, tasked with gathering information on a matter of municipal interest or assessing a municipal public service. The same local councillor may not be involved in such a request more than once a year. No task may be created from 1st January of the calendar year preceding the year of the general renewal of the municipal councils. The rules of procedure set out the rules for submitting and examining the request to set up the task force, its operating procedures, the procedures for its composition in compliance with the principle of proportional representation, the duration of the task force, which may not exceed six months from the date of the resolution setting it up, as well as the conditions under which it submits its report to the members of the municipal council.
It is the responsibility of the municipal councillor to ensure that the task force is properly constituted.
