The regional county municipality Robert-Cliche is a municipality governed by the Municipal Code of Quebec. Its decision-making body is a council made up of each of the mayors of the municipalities forming its territory. The council meets in public sessions which take place on the 2nd Wednesday of the month: there is however no meeting in August and in November, it is held on the 4th Wednesday, during which the budget forecasts are adopted of the following year.
The meetings are chaired by the prefect who is one of the members of the council and who is elected by all the mayors every two years during a secret ballot; a deputy prefect is also appointed each year by resolution.
The Robert-Cliche MRC was created on November 25, 1981, by the Act respecting land use planning and development (LAU): with the Beauce-Sartigan and La Nouvelle-Beauce MRCs, it is one of the three MRCs that succeeded the former Beauce County Council.
The MRCs have retained the traditional functions of County Councils, but the government authorities have given them an additional triple role:
the MRC is a land planning body: this mission is accomplished through the creation and updating of the land use and development plan;
the MRC is a consultation organization: the very nature of the MRC allows it to play a unifying role with the main stakeholders in its territory in various fields, thus facilitating the coordination of regional actions;
the MRC is a provider of services: the MRC offers various services to its member municipalities and is empowered to acquire skills and exercise intermunicipal agreements.
All RCMs must also assume the mandates entrusted to them by the legislator.
