OBJET :

NOMINATIONS AUX COMITÉS PERMANENTS/COMMISSION - 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 membership of Standing Committees/Commission for the term of Council (2010-2014).

 

 

RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

 

Que le Comité des candidatures examine les nominations indiquées dans le présent rapport et recommande au Conseil municipal les membres des comités permanents/commission pour la durée du mandat du Conseil (2010-2014).

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

On 8 December 2010 City Council considered a report titled "Council Governance Review - 2010-2014" (ACS2010-CMR-CCB-0106) dated 24 November 2010.  Through this report, Council approved the creation of six Standing Committees and one Commission, as follows: 

·         Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee

·         Community and Protective Services Committee

·         Environment Committee

·         Finance and Economic Development Committee

·         Planning Committee

·         Transportation Committee

·         Transit Commission

 

Terms of References are currently being developed for these committees/commission and will likely be scheduled for review by the respective committees/commission at each of their first meetings in 2011.

 

 

DISCUSSION

 

Following the establishment of the committee structure, the membership of the committees must be determined.  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 the Standing Committees/Commission on which they wish to serve, in order of preference.  The results of this survey are outlined in Document 1.

 

Through the Governance report, Council approved that membership on all Standing Committees would be 8 to 11 members of Council with 2 exceptions – Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee composed of 5 to 7 members and the Transit Commission is to be composed of 8 Members of Council.   

 

This report illustrates a compilation of the survey information.  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 committee membership preferences and associated comments. 

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

 

There are no financial implications associated with this report.
