A policy is a high-level statement of position to guide Council and administration decision-making, and is formally adopted by Council by formal resolution.

A procedure (also known as a guideline) sets out specific administration responsibilities and processes (who, what, when, why) required to implement a particular area of Council policy, and inform the community of how Council will generally conduct business. Procedures are normally noted by Council when the policy is adopted by formal resolution. In some cases, Council may adopt a procedure that impacts the community.
