That the Transportation Committee receive this report for information.
Que le Comité des transports 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.
Departmental Report
on Outstanding Motions and Directions
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. (The departmental lists
are contained in Document 2.)
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.
