BACKGROUND/
On 11 June 2008, Council approved a process for tracking formal
Inquiries and Motions submitted at Standing Committees and Council. Included in this process was the requirement
for Committees and Council to receive bi-monthly status updates on these
motions and inquiries, at the second meeting of every second month.
DISCUSSION
There is presently one inquiry awaiting response, and 10 motions/directions
under investigation by staff.
A list of the outstanding inquiries is contained in Document 1. This report
integrates the status of outstanding motions and directions to staff, with the
actions that will be taken to ensure that both are addressed
appropriately. The list of outstanding
motions and directions is contained in Document 2.
Consistent with
Council’s direction, the tracking and reporting of formal motions and inquiries
is undertaken by the City Clerk’s Office.
Protocols have also been established within departments to ensure
department-specific motions and inquiries are processed in a timely manner. In those instances where there may be a
delay, Council will be provided with an explanation.
