That the Transit Committee receive this report for information.
Que le Comité du transport en
commun prenne connaissance de ce rapport.
On 11 June 2008, Council approved a new 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. Accordingly, this report is being
presented to Committee for information.
Departmental
Report on Outstanding Motions and Directions
This report integrates the status of
outstanding motions and directions to staff, identified as part of the City
Manager’s review in the fall of 2008, with the actions that will be taken to
ensure that both are addressed appropriately.
(The departmental lists are 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.
This report is administrative in nature and therefore no consultation was required.
There are no financial implications associated with this report.
