Council passes motion to proceed with Core Review
Review established as number one Council priority for 2015
NEWS RELEASE - Distributed February 3, 2015 3:30 PM
Summary
Following an unanimous vote in favour, last night Nanaimo City Council agreed with a motion put forward by Mayor Bill McKay to proceed with a core review of the City's services and operations. As a first step in the process, a consultant will be retained to, 1) assist Council in creating a project charter; and 2) guide Councillors in the development of a terms of reference, following which a tender to complete the core review will be issued. A core review committee, comprised of all members of Council and chaired by the Mayor, will guide the development and implementation of the review.
Link to Strategic Plan: Taking responsibility to be an excellent municipal government.
Key Points
- While the core review is underway, no additional City services will be undertaken by the City until the review exercise is completed.
- Staffing levels for CUPE, IAFF and excluded staff will not be altered until the core review is completed.
