That the Environment Committee receive this report
for information.
Que le Comité de l’environnement
prenne connaissance de ce rapport.
On 11 June 2008, Council approved a new process
for tracking formal Inquiries and Motions submitted at Standing Committees and
Council. Included in this process was
the requirement for Committees and Council to receive bi-monthly status updates
on these motions and inquiries, at the second meeting of every second month. Accordingly, this report is being presented
to Committee for information.
This report integrates the status of outstanding
motions and directions to staff, identified as part of the City Manager’s
review in the fall of 2008, with the actions that will be taken to ensure that
both are addressed appropriately.
Consistent with Council’s direction, the tracking and
reporting of formal motions and inquiries is undertaken by the City Clerk’s
Office. Protocols have also been
established within departments to ensure department-specific motions and
inquiries are processed in a timely manner. In those instances where there may
be a delay, Council will be provided with an explanation.
This report
is administrative in nature and therefore no consultation was required.
There are no financial implications associated
with this report.
Document 1 Departmental List of Outstanding Motions and Directions as of 4 November 2011
The Coordinator will continue to track all
motions and inquiries made at Committee and report bi-monthly.
