SUBJECT:

Appointments to BOARDS - 2010-2014 Council term

 

 

OBJET :

LES NOMINATION AUX CONSEILS D’ADMINISTRATION - DURÉE DU MANDAT DU CONSEIL (2010-2014)

 

 

REPORT RECOMMENDATION

 

That the Nominating Committee consider the appointments outlined in this report and recommend to Council the appointments to Boards for the term of Council (2010-2014).

 

 

RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

 

Que le Comité des candidatures examine les Les nominations indiquées dans le présent rapport et recommande au Conseil municipal la Les nomination de membres aux conseils d’administration pour la durée du mandat du Conseil (2010-2014).

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

The City of Ottawa holds the authority to appoint Council Members to various external boards.  The City’s representation varies from board to board, which is generally noted in the entity’s founding by-law or constitution.

 

The Nominating Committee and Council approved some of the Council appointments to external Boards as part of a Phase 1 process in December 2010.  The current process seeks to finalize Council appointments to the balance of the external Boards on which the City has representation.

 


DISCUSSION

 

At the outset of each new term of Council, the Nominating Committee is charged with reviewing all appointments to Boards and making recommendations to Council on the Council Member appointments.  On 8 December 2006, a memo entitled “2010-2014 Term of Council – Nominating Committee Survey” was distributed to all Members of Council.  This memo requested Members to identify which Boards on which they wish to serve, in order of preference.  The results of this survey are outlined in Document 1.

 

Generally, all Council appointments are held effective for the term of Council.

 

This report illustrates a compilation of the survey information associated with the Boards.  The Nominating Committee is requested to review the information and make recommendations to Council keeping in mind the need to ensure a City-wide balance and perspective, as well as recognizing as much as possible each Councillor’s previous service, experience and areas of interest. 

 

 

CONSULTATION

 

Consultation with Members of Council was obtained through the Nominating Committee survey and request for Board membership preferences and associated comments. 

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

 

There are no financial implications associated with this report.

 

 

SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION

 

Document 1 -  Members of Council - Requested Appointments to Boards 2010-2014

 

 

DISPOSITION

 

The Nominating Committee recommendations will be forwarded to Council for consideration and final approval at its meeting scheduled for 26 January 2011.  Following Council approval, the City Clerk’s Branch will inform the administration for the various Boards of the Council approved appointments.

Mayor Watson

 

 

With respect to City appointments to the Ottawa Convention Centre Board of Directors, Mayor Watson referenced a letter received from the Board Chair and he advised that he was supportive of their request.  He noted the Board was in the midst of the Convention Centre expansion and the last Council saw fit to have 2 members appointed from citizenry as opposed to Council.  The Board Chair had asked that the citizen members’ terms be extending in light of the status of the expansion project.

 

Councillor Fleury introduced a motion to appoint the Mayor and to extend the terms of Bernie Ashe and Cyril Leeder to December 2013.

 

Councillor Monette noted that Councillors Hobbs had quite and extensive background and had expressed an interest.  He wondered if she was aware of the OCC letter and whether she had given any comment on it.  Mayor Watson confirmed that all members of Council had received a copy of the letter and that she had not approached him since then with any comment.

 

Councillor Monette moved the following amendment to Councillor Fleury’s motion.

 

Councillor Fleury maintained the reason the Board Chair submitted the letter related to the current status of the expansion project and the fact that the current members were intimately familiar with it and therefore extending their terms would avoid any disruptions.

 

Councillor Monette acknowledged the intent behind the OCC letter.  However, he referenced the qualifications of a particular Councillor and maintained that he felt the Councillor deserved a right to sit on the Board.

 

Councillor Deans agreed that Councillor Hobbs would be a very good choice.  However, she also felt Councillor Fleury would be a very good choice because the OCC was in his ward.  Having said that, she indicated she would not support the amendment because she believed the City should respect the Board’s request.

 

Moved by Councillor B. Monette

 

That Councillor Fleury’s motion for appointments to the Ottawa Convention Centre Board of Directors be amended by adding Councillor Hobbs and deleting Mr. Ashe.

 

                                                                                                LOST

 

YEAS (3):       B. Monette, D. Thompson, M. Wilkinson

NAYS (9):      S. Blais, R. Chiarelli, D. Deans, M. Fleury, M. McRae, S. Moffatt, M. Taylor, T. Tierney, Mayor Watson

 

Committee then voted on Councillor Fleury’s motion.

 

Moved by Councillor M. Fleury

 

WHEREAS the Chair of the Ottawa Convention Centre Board of Directors has written to the Mayory and asked that, for purposes of continuity, Council consider extending the terms of the two representatives of the local business community currently serving as City of Ottawa appointees to the Ottawa Convention Centre Board of Directors;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Nominating Committee recommend to Council the appointment of Mayor Watson to the Ottawa Convention Centre Board of Directors;

 

AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Nominating Committee recommend the extension of Bernie Ashe’s and Cyril Leeders’ terms as City of Ottawa appointees on the Ottawa Convention Centre Board of Directors, with terms ending in December 2013.

 

                                                                                                CARRIED

 

Moved by Councillor M. McRae

 

That the Nominating Committee recommend to Council the following appointment to the Ottawa-Gatineau Film and Television Development Corporation:

 

1.      Councillor Rick Chiarelli

 

                                                                                                CARRIED

 

Moving on to the Pineview Municipal Golf Course Board of Management, Councillors Deans and Monette withdrew their expressions of interest and although Councillor Tierney was listed on Document 1, Mayor Watson noted his appointment was automatic as a result of a Council motion during consideration of the Governance report. 

 

Councillor Chiarelli proposed the appointment of Councillors Blais, Moffatt, Desroches and McRae.

 

Councillor McRae noted Councillor Hubley had not lobbied any of his colleagues for this appointment and that she would be happy to have her name stand but should Councillor Hubley express his interest prior to Council consideration, she would withdraw.

 

Mayor Watson indicated Councillor Hubley had mentioned it to him, though he had not pushed for it. 

 

In light of this comment, Councillor McRae withdrew her name and Councillor Chiarelli amended his motion accordingly.

 


Moved by Councillor R. Chiarelli

 

That the Nominating Committee recommend to Council the following appointments to the Pineview Municipal Golf Course Board of Management, in addition to Councillor Tim Tierney and Councillor Rainer Bloess:
