•           Audit of the City’s Role regarding a Canada Day Event

 

September 19, 2011 - IT Sub-Committee:

•           Audit of Internet and Email Usage Policies and Procedures

 

October 4, 2011 - Finance and Economic Development Committee:

•           Audit of the Use of City Vehicles and Mileage Claims

•           Audit of the City’s Management of a Loan Agreement

for subsequent consideration and approval of the audit recommendations by Council at its meeting of October 12, 2011.

 

2.         That the Audit Sub-Committee recommend that Council consider the following reports in camera, based on Section 239(2)(e) of the Municipal Act, 2001 “litigation or potential litigation, including matters before administrative tribunals, affecting the municipality or local board”:

- Audit of the Glen Cairn Flooding and the Development Review Processes within the Carp Watershed; and,

            - Audit of the Mackenzie King Bridge Rehabilitation.

 

3.         That the Audit Sub-Committee recommend that Council consider and approve the audit recommendations and refer all recommendations where management is in disagreement to the Audit Sub-Committee or other Standing Committee as directed by Council.

 

                                                                                                            CARRIED

 

In accordance with the reporting protocol approved by Council for the Office of the Auditor General, the authority to “discuss and approve” the Auditor General’s reports rests with City Council.  Therefore, the sole purpose of the referral to the Standing Committees is to provide an opportunity for the appropriate Standing Committee to review the reports.
