Adopted Motion
WHEREAS the number of outstanding items on the Pending List is approximately 167 dating back to the 2010-2014 term of Council; and
WHEREAS the number of items on the Pending List has continued to grow significantly due to:
a) Items being addressed either in whole or in part through other reporting mechanisms or broader reports such as the Business Planning process;
b) A number of items for discussion generated by members of the Council requiring reports;
c) Limited resources and competing workload priorities to address the items; and
d) Significant staff changes resulting in a loss of organizational knowledge related to a particular matter and the absence of systems designed to transfer knowledge when staff turnover occurs.
WHEREAS to address outstanding matters on the Pending List would be a significant cost to The Corporation of upwards of $500,000 not included in any business plan or budget;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the outstanding items from the previous terms of Council on the Pending List be deleted. (Item for Discussion 8.2, December 7, 2022)
