Mayor Fred Eisenberger wants to set up a citizens' jury to discuss the area rating issue.
He's expected to introduce the idea at next week's committee-of-the-whole meeting.
The controversial area rating taxation plan, imposed after the city amalgamated, limits the tax impact for communities that don't receive some services.
Basically, it means the suburbs pay less for receiving less transit, culture and recreation, and fire service.
