SUBJECT/OBJET	OUTSTANDING BOARD INQUIRIES & MOTIONS:  JUNE 2012

RECOMMENDATION

That the Ottawa Police Services Board receive this report for information.

BACKGROUND

All inquiries and motions raised at meetings of the Ottawa Police Services Board that require follow up action or response are recorded and monitored.  Once a response is received at a subsequent Board meeting, the outstanding inquiry or motion is removed from the list of outstanding inquiries and motions. 

At the 19 December 2005 meeting, the City of Ottawa’s Auditor General submitted a report to the Police Services Board on the results of his Governance Audit of the Board.  The Audit Report contained 27 separate recommendations for improving the governance practices of the Board, including Recommendation 9.1:  that a report be presented as a regular agenda item at each board meeting that lists all the outstanding inquiries and resolutions.  The Police Services Board approved this recommendation at the 16 January 2006 meeting as part of a comprehensive plan for implementing the Auditor’s recommendations, and the first monthly report was submitted to the Board at its 27 March 2006 meeting.  A similar report has been submitted to the Board at each meeting since that time.

Annex A contains the current list of outstanding inquiries; there are no motions outstanding at the present time.
