REPORT NO.: FCS-17-068
SUBJECT: Appointments to Downtown Action and Advisory Committee
(2016-2018)
___________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION:
That the recommended candidates for a citizen vacancy on the 2016-2018 Downtown
Action and Advisory Committee be approved, as attached to staff report FCS-17-068 in
Appendix ‘A’.
BACKGROUND:
On December 1, 2016, Council appointed citizens to various advisory committees, boards and
special committees for the current term including the Downtown Action and Advisory Committee
(DAAC). On January 30, 2017, Council approved revisions to the Terms of Reference (TofR)
for DAAC relating to its membership composition. The revised TofR increased the number of
City Residents to a maximum of eleven (11) which has resulted in two (2) vacancies in that
sector for DAAC.
The protocol for filling mid-term vacancies is to first review the unassigned applicants from the
initial Advisory Committee recruitment process. If there are no applicants who can be assigned,
staff then looks at the Volunteer Database to see if there are any citizens who have indicated
either an interest in serving on a particular Advisory Committee or on any Advisory Committee
in general. If any, these people are contacted and provided with the Terms of Reference for the
Advisory Committee for which recruiting is taking place along with an application form and
instructions on how to submit their applications. Staff also considers anyone who has applied to
fill any specific vacancy as listed on the City’s website.
If there are more applications than vacancies, the applications are forwarded to the Nominating
Committee to recommend a slate to Council for decision. If there are not, the Director of
Legislated Services/City Clerk makes a recommendation directly to Council.
