Scope and content
Sub-series consists of Committee of the Whole Council minutes and submissions. When City Council met to deliberate as a Committee of the Whole, the meeting was either considered a separate meeting, generating a distinct set of minutes, or the proceedings were taken as part of Council proceedings and were thus incorporated with the Council minutes. There are no separate bound Committee of the Whole minutes for the period between 1959 and 1971. From 1980 to 1994, only Special Committee of the Whole minutes were bound separately. Sub-series also contains submissions made to the Committee of the Whole from 1971 to 1996. There are no submissions for January to September 1979, or for the entirety of 1986. In the submission files from 1969, meeting agendas are missing and other material may have been removed. For the period from 1970 to August 1975; Feb. 1976 to 1977, there are only meeting agendas.

Arrangement
Submissions for multiple meetings relating to the same topic (eg. a budget) are usually grouped together. Otherwise minutes and submissions are filed chronologically by meeting date.

Committee of the Whole minutes are not indexed. To find a topic in Committee of the Whole minutes, use Council minutes indexes (series 102-1A) to find the approximate date of discussion of the issue, then look for a corresponding date in Committee of the Whole minutes. If further documentation is required, request the submissions for the meeting date in question.
