150D: Local board may propose amendment to bylaw

You could also call this:

“Local groups can ask for changes to rules in their area”

You can suggest changes to a local rule that only affects your area. If you’re part of a local board, you can ask the main city council to change a rule that only applies in your area or part of it. You need to write down your suggestion and give it to them.

When you do this, you should follow the same steps as when making a new rule. These steps are explained in section 150B and section 150C of the law. You might need to change these steps a bit to fit your situation, but the basic idea is the same.
