Moved by Councillor S. Qadri
Seconded by Councillor E. El-Chantiry
WHEREAS
quality assurance strategies are critical given the dangers posed by food borne
illness and the fact that public health inspectors work so independently in the
field; and
WHEREAS other
public health units have effective and efficient quality assurance features,

Moved by Councillor E. El-Chantiry
Seconded by Councillor D. Deans
WHEREAS food
handler training is a proactive strategy for promoting effective and safe food
handling practices; and
WHEREAS food
handler training has been shown to increase operator compliance rates and
reduce the need for re-inspections, thereby allowing public health inspectors
to visit a greater number of food premises; and
WHEREAS
the Auditor General noted, in his 2007 Audit of the Food Safety Program, that
fees for food handler training are low in comparison to other cities across the
Province;
THEREFORE BE

Moved by Councillor J. Harder
Seconded by Councillor D. Deans
WHEREAS City
staff manages to their individual branch plans and to the supporting growth
management plans, such as the Environmental Strategy and the Greenspace Master
Plan, and not to the environmental commitments as outlined in the CCP and the Window
on Ottawa 20/20 document; and
WHEREAS there
is no broader monitoring framework in place for these five environmental
commitments, which impedes tracking of the City’s overall progress towards
these commitments; and
WHEREAS there
is no overarching system in place to track progress against the five
environmental commitments; and
THEREFORE BE
IT RESOLVED THAT management review the environmental commitments to determine
whether these accurately convey the City’s environmental vision and objectives
and revise them as required; and

WHEREAS the audit report made 22
recommendations pertaining to the Labour Relations function; and
WHEREAS there remains
disagreement on two issues (recommendations 10 and 18); and
WHEREAS the responsibility for decisions
made at the grievance level is within the purview of the Director of Employee
Services in consensus with operating departments, and conversely, when matters
are referred to arbitration, Legal Services is the clear lead and undertakes
such arbitrations with the clear direction of the operating department and on
policy grievances looks to Labour Relations for direction/instruction;
BE IT RESOLVED THAT Employee
Services and Legal Services confer with the Auditor General and report back to
CAWG in October on the appropriate processes to resolve grievances and
arbitration issues.
CARRIED
Moved by Councillor J. Harder
Seconded by Councillor D. Deans
WHEREAS Prior
to the fall of 2006, the City did not effectively protect itself when
contracting with new Management Professional Exempt (MPE) employees for senior
management positions in that there was no clear safety valve in the absence of
a probationary period to deal with unsuitable new hires; and
WHEREAS the
issue was also one of consistency and substantial cost in the case of an
unsuitable new hire under the City’s current severance structure; and
WHEREAS new
hires were not sufficiently informed of the terms and conditions of their
employment and obligations (e.g., Terms and Conditions of Employment, Code of
Conduct), and the practice was not consistent for both internal and external
candidates; and
WHEREAS the
severance pay provisions of the MPE Terms and Conditions of Employment and the
guaranteed minimum amount of 18 months severance for a Deputy City Manager and
12 months for a Director are considered to be excessive in the case of short-term
employees; and
WHEREAS the
MPE Terms and Conditions of Employment need to be updated to align with common
law and minimum employment standards; and
THEREFORE BE
IT RESOLVED THAT the City continue to clearly state the existence and
application of probationary periods and explicitly communicate it. This clause
could be waived by the City Manager in particular circumstances and in such
cases the waiver must be appropriately documented; and
THAT the City
continue to inform new hires of their terms and conditions of employment as
well as their obligations and that new employees be asked to acknowledge their
understanding by signing a statement to that effect; and
THAT the
involuntary separation entitlements chart contained in the MPE Terms and
Conditions of Employment document be updated to reflect common law standards
including the minimum statutory provisions in the case of termination for
cause; and
THAT the City
develop a procedure for dealing with terminations for cause and
involuntary
separations that provides for a more robust decision making and accountability
process to ensure that decisions of this nature are made with the involvement
of all key stakeholders and subject matter experts (Labour Relations and Legal
Services) to minimize liabilities in such cases. Elements of the procedure
should deal with investigation, option analysis and implementation aspects of
termination decisions to ensure the veracity of evidence and substantiation of
decisions and, that the proper communication strategies are in place to
mitigate unnecessary public exposure and to avoid undermining managers’ overall
confidence to take action. This procedure should also provide a mechanism in
the event of disagreement between the key stakeholders to escalate resolution
up to the City Manager if necessary, to ensure that views are duly considered
and factored into the final decision; and
THAT the City
Manager report back to Council in six months (March 2009) with a progress
report.
CARRIED
Moved by Councillor J. Harder
Seconded by Councillor S. Qadri
WHEREAS the
Auditor General’s Audit on Labour Relations concluded that, “the City’s track
record is not very successful in upholding the Employer’s position through the
grievance procedure and especially at arbitration”; and
WHEREAS the
Auditor General has identified that, “the main reasons for the City’s less than
successful experience can be attributed to the fundamental merits of each case
at the outset, the documentation and preparation as well as the insistence and
current ability of some managers to have their matters go the distance for
different reasons including political agendas”; and
WHEREAS
Recommendation 19 provides that “statistics on arbitration cases, wins, losses,
draws and costs be implemented to facilitate overall performance measurement”;
and
WHEREAS
Recommendation 19 does not address the rationale for the wins, losses and draws
at arbitration, nor does it require the development of any value-added “next
steps” to remedy those factors which have contributed to the City losing
arbitration cases;
THEREFORE BE
IT RESOLVED THAT the statistics on arbitration cases include information as to
the factors underlying the inability to uphold the City’s original position at
arbitration as well as the steps proposed to remedy these issues in future
cases; and
BE IT
FURTHER RESOLVED THAT these arbitration statistics be reported to Council on a
quarterly basis beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008.
CARRIED
Moved by Councillor J. Harder
Seconded by Councillor E. El-Chantiry
WHEREAS The
collective bargaining mandates are not driven and developed from long-term
strategic plan objectives but are more bottom-up, short-term and operational
mandates, which do not anticipate and pave the way for true business
transformation; and
WHEREAS there
is a need for Management to provide to Council a stronger framework and
expectations for collective bargaining negotiations by establishing a clearly
defined strategy that addresses the City’s long-term objectives and future
fiscal responsibilities;
THEREFORE BE
IT RESOLVED THAT the City adopt a more strategic approach and longer term
outlook to collective bargaining in keeping with its vision and long term
objectives as confirmed and approved by Council and that there be a process in
place to secure and maintain the commitment of Council to the stated mandate;
and
THAT the
current collective agreements be reviewed to identify impediments to achieving
the City’s vision and mid-term objectives, and that related bargaining
strategies be developed to address shortcomings to change and flexibility; and
THAT the City
Manager report back to Council by year end 2008 on the progress of these
initiatives.
CARRIED
Inventory and Asset Management
Processes
Moved by Councillor J. Harder
Seconded by Councillor E. El-Chantiry
Whereas the Auditor General found
insufficient controls of inventory management at the City of Ottawa; and
Whereas it is difficult to ensure
inventory is being used only for the City’s benefit and that inventory is
current and forecasting is accurate for reasonable forward buying; and
Whereas there are unacceptable levels of
control and recording of some City assets due primarily to a lack of City-wide
policies on inventory or systems in order to maintain that control; and
Whereas it is good procurement principle
to engage outside specialists to undertake City-wide inventory annually; and
Whereas a procurement consultant should
be contracted to review all procedures and policies or lack thereof for all
purchasing/inventory management across divisions and centres of expertise and
bring high level recommendations forward to Council including recommendations
and analysis as to whether an outside business undertake all procurement for
the City of Ottawa; and
Whereas every invoice for product must
be cost equalled upon receipt for verification of best price and that cash
discounts are taken and evaluated or volume rebates as they apply; and
Whereas all contracts should include
penalties for late service/deliveries/completion and that these penalties be
enforced for such; and
Whereas consideration that the wording
“guaranteed sale” be added to each procurement contract or the terminology 1%
of total purchases for City Risk Management; and
Whereas it makes all good business sense
to operate the procurement/asset management and inventory at the City of Ottawa
under “best business policies” as found in non-governmental large businesses
operating under the business act;
Therefore Be It
Resolved that
the City Manager assigns a function with the overall responsibility for all
City assets. This function should be responsible for developing and issuing,
for overall City asset and inventory management, overarching policies, systems
and procedures covering the identification, recording, tracking, control and
safeguarding of City assets, and inventory management and that this function
report quarterly to City Council.

WHEREAS
Management have indicated that work is currently underway to complete the
required activities and management is of the opinion that the City will be
ready for implementation;
Therefore Be It Resolved that the City Treasurer ensures that the City is ready to comply with
the PSAB rules for full accrual accounting for local governments, which come

WHEREAS Supply Management Division was unable
to provide concrete analysis regarding the key benefits of renting as evidence
of best value as required by the Purchasing By-law; and
WHEREAS the Division’s analysis in fact
showed that the purchase option was always less expensive than the rental
option for the same unit from the same supplier; and
WHEREAS a decision was made to replace all
the units in August 2007 and create a new agreement to August 2010, which
appears to be driven by the supplier through Supply Management Division to
replace all the units, not just those coming to the end of their rental
agreement; and
WHEREAS this replacement was done (in more
than one case) without the prior consent of the department being charged for the
rental; and
WHEREAS units which are functioning very well
and may continue to have a useful life for a further two to three years beyond
the extended warranty period would present a significant potential savings for
the purchasing option instead of the existing renting option; and
WHEREAS there is a standing offer set up to
rent fax machines which indicates the benefits of renting versus buying,
however the analysis provided did not consider years four and five which could
result in potential savings of rental payments of $182,000 which could be used
to purchase new machines as required;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT a standing
offer be set up for the purchase of fax machines; and
THAT an up-to-date inventory be maintained by
the City of fax machines, with sufficient detail to facilitate cost-benefit
analysis and confirmation of rates charged; and
THAT Financial Services Branch ensure the
roles and responsibilities with respect to decisions on purchasing or leasing
fax machines are handled by the appropriate department, branch, or division.
