Histoire administrative
The Committee on Legislation and Reception was responsible for wages and working conditions of civic employees, staff changes and appointments, grievances concerning civic personnel, labour union negotiations, work of the employer-employee advisory board, general legislation and charter amendments, and for reporting on legislation and receptions.
Names of the Committee over the years have included the Legislative Committee, Committee on Legislation, Reception, Trade and Commerce, Committee on Legislation and Reception, and Committee on Personnel and Legislation (1950-1957).
In 1958 the duties of the Committee on Personnel and Legislation were taken over by the Committee on Finance. In 1960 the Standing Committee on Utilities and Personnel was formed by By-Law 18236 to perform the combined functions of the former Committee on Personnel and Legislation and Committee on Public Works.* (See Municipal Manual, 1960 and Council Minutes 1957-1960).

The original name of the committee was Committee on Finance and Assessment. In later years it was called the Finance Committee or Committee on Finance.

Classement
Prior to 1920, all incoming correspondence was given its own file number, even when it pertained to a topic with an existing file number. The records were then housed with the pre-existing number and a placeholder card was used to indicate where the correspondence with the new number could be found. These cards are noted in the file list.
File numbers for the series were reset to 1 in 1911-1912 and again in 1920. The Legislation and Reception file numbers were continued by the Utilities and Personnel Committee alongside its own file numbers after that committee took over the personnel function. City Council and Utilities and Personnel minutes may reference LR (Legislation and Reception) or U (Utilities and Personnel) file numbers.
