Halifax is governed by a <a href="/wiki/Mayor%E2%80%93council_government" title="Mayor–council government">mayor-council</a> system, where councillors are elected from sixteen geographic districts though a <a href="/wiki/First-past-the-post" class="mw-redirect" title="First-past-the-post">first-past-the-post</a> system and the mayor is elected via a municipality-wide first-past-the-post vote. Halifax Regional Council was formed in 1996 and consisted of twenty-three councillors and one mayor. It was reduced in size to sixteen councillors and the mayor in 2012.<sup id="cite_ref-NS_UARB_Decision_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NS_UARB_Decision-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The council meets at <a href="/wiki/Halifax_City_Hall" title="Halifax City Hall">Halifax City Hall</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Structure">Structure</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Halifax_Regional_Council&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Structure"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The powers and authority of Halifax are laid out in the Halifax Regional Municipality Charter (2008).<sup id="cite_ref-Halifax_Charter_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Halifax_Charter-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Halifax Regional Council has established standing committees, community councils and advisory committees to aid in policy development and decision making.<sup id="cite_ref-AO_01_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-AO_01-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-AO_48_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-AO_48-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Standing committees are composed of councillors, and have responsibility over key functional areas of the municipality, such as transportation or the environment, and can propose, review, debate prior to forwarding reports to council with recommendations.<sup id="cite_ref-AO_01_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-AO_01-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Community councils are composed of councillors and have purview over development, land use, park and community issues in their geographic area, as well as appointments to standing committees.<sup id="cite_ref-AO_48_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-AO_48-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Advisory committees include councillors and citizens, and provide specific advice.<sup id="cite_ref-Community_Council_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Community_Council-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Generally each councillor sits on two standing committees, one or more external boards, and one or more advisory committees.
