Point of Personal Privilege
Councillor C. Doucet raised a point of personal
privilege with respect to articles in two Ottawa newspapers on 29 July 2008,
wherein the Mayor’s Chief of Staff was quoted as saying he was not aware that
“Doucet would be on vacation during his appointed time as Deputy Mayor”. The Councillor questioned how the Mayor’s
office could not be aware when a motion he brought forward on 25 June 2008, was
approved by Council, appointing Councillor Gord Hunter as Acting Deputy Mayor
for the period June 30 – August 31, 2008, in the event that both the Mayor and
Deputy Mayor were away.
Mayor O’Brien directed the City Clerk and City Solicitor to review the matter and report back to Council on 10 September 2008.

Growth Management Strategy
Moved by Councillor J. Harder
Seconded by Councillor D. Deans

Labour
Relations
Moved by Councillor R. Bloess
Seconded by Councillor J. Harder
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

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.

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.

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.

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 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

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

Management Division to replace all the units, not just those coming to the end

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;
