BE IT
RESOLVED THAT Council depart slightly from its usual tradition of immediately
accepting the “budget as amended” after all of the line by line decisions have
been made, and instead allow a period of reflection so as to better assess the
integrated impact of all of the decisions and to consider whether, in the
likely scenario that a property increase is envisioned, an option other than
supporting the full impact
of the decisions through a tax increase is desirable or possible.

CS3.10 Reduce housekeeping standards.
MOTION NO. 9/13
Moved by Councillor J. Stavinga
Seconded by Councillor G. Bédard
WHEREAS, RPAM is in the business of
supporting programming in facilities and in partnership with the programming
departments ensures facilities are clean and safe for patrons;/
AND WHEREAS, recent benchmarking of
property maintenance activities undertaken by RPAM, for example for repairs,
preventative maintenance and housekeeping, show that, for most facility types,
the cost per square
foot, borne by the City, is less than the industry standards;
AND WHEREAS,
housekeeping, which focuses on cleaning, minor repairs, spot painting, pest
control and direct support of programming has a significant impact on the
ability to support programming;
AND WHEREAS, currently, across all
portfolios, RPAM budgets $6M and the budget document outlines a $2M reduction
to housekeeping funding or a reduction of approximately 30% of the current
service level;
AND WHEREAS,
preventative maintenance, which focuses on maintenance that protects the
infrastructure, is currently budgeted at approximately 60% of what the industry
would set as a benchmarking standard;
AND WHEREAS,
failure to provide adequate preventative maintenance leads to premature failure
of the building components, which impacts equipment reliability (and equipment
failure leads to program disruptions, client dissatisfaction and loss of
revenue) and the life cycle replacement program;
AND And WHEREAS, life cycle renewal investment,
which focuses on the long-term sustainability of the assets to support the
programming, is currently funded at less than 30% of what the industry says is
necessary to sustain the buildings;
AND WHEREAS,
lack of cleanliness in washroom and change room cleanliness, and inadequate
support for specific events/programming activities is currently the number one
complaint from programmers and the public;
AND WHEREAS,
this has become more acute as a result of increased programming and usage of
the facilities with no corresponding increase of funding to housekeeping
activities and the reduction to the current budget would see an untenable
situation with respect to client service and the ability to support growth in
user load;
AND WHEREAS, the reduction to housekeeping
funding and the corresponding reduction in service level are compounded even
more by the fact that the 30% reduction cannot be evenly applied over all of
the portfolios;
AND WHEREAS, by legislation, certain
facilities, based on their programming, cannot have their housekeeping
standards reduced, e.g. daycares and pool facilities and we are challenged with
meeting accreditation requirements for certain clients, e.g. Homes for the Aged
and Land Ambulance resulting in facilities that are not governed by
legislation, having their service levels reduced even further than the 30% to
compensate for those that cannot be touched, which compounds the impact of the
proposed funding reduction.
THEREFORE
BE IT RESOLVED that Council re-instates the provision of Base Service Standards
for Housekeeping Services under Facilities and Property Management.
