SUBJECT: Heritage Kitchener – Citizen Appointment
___________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION:
That the recommended candidate, Steve Hamoen, be approved for the 2014-2016
term as the Upper Doon Heritage Conservation District representative for
Heritage Kitchener.
BACKGROUND:
On December 1, 2014, Council appointed citizens to various advisory committees,
boards and special committees for the current term based on the slate of candidates put
forward by the Nominating Committee (the Committee). At that time, the Committee
had identified challenges in filling all the vacancies on Heritage Kitchener (HK) including
finding a representative for the Upper Doon Heritage Conservation District (UDHCD).
Staff recommended a targeted recruitment to fill those vacancies and, in accordance
with Council’s direction, undertook a second recruitment from December 10 to 31, 2014
using various means. There were no applicants, however, for the UDHCD so the
vacancy for that position remained.
REPORT:
Recently, one citizen has made an application through the Volunteer Resources
database to be appointed to HK as the UDHCD representative. Given that no other
citizens have indicated an interest in representing UDHCD on HK despite previous
recruitment efforts, staff is recommending to move forward with appointing the
applicant.
ALIGNMENT WITH CITY OF KITCHENER STRATEGIC PLAN:
The recommendation of this report supports the achievement of the city’s strategic
vision through the delivery of core service.
