Your Worship and Councillors:
RE: Discussion re. Role of Council
At the last meeting of Committee of the Whole held on July 10, 2006, Council
received an update on the Vision 2105 Program and the governance project. One
of the items raised at this meeting was the need for Council to have a more in-
depth discussion regarding their role both with the community and with the
organization. This discussion will be essential in the evolution and direction of
the governance project.
As was noted Mr. Stuart Baker has been doing some cultural assessment work for
the City over the past few months which has involved an extensive number of
interviews with staff members and meetings with senior staff. As a result of this
work and his involvement with the development of the True Growth concept Mr.
Baker is well suited to facilitate this type discussion.
To get the process started it is proposed that a meeting of Committee of the Whole
be scheduled for Monday, July 24 at 5pm in the 8`h Floor Boardroom. The initial
discussion with Mr. Baker should take approximately 3 hours.
