Directors(KHIBoard) had two (2) vacancies for which two (2)candidates were put forwardfor
consideration butprior to the appointment meeting, one(1)of those recommended candidates
became ineligible by moving out of Kitchener.As a result, Council appointed one(1)person
which left one (1) vacancy to be filled at a later date.
In early March, the Chair of the KHI Board askedabout the process to fill that vacancy and
requestedone additionalappointmentbecause the KHI Board was having issuesreaching
quorum with the current numberof appointees. There are currently six (6) citizens and three (3)
members of Council appointed but the Terms of Reference for KHI allows for the appointment of
nine to eleven (9-11) members.Thus, the KHI Board is requesting the appointment of two (2)
membersfor the remainder of the current term ending November 2019.
The protocol for filling mid-term vacancies is to first review the unassigned applicants from the
initial Board/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 Board/Advisory Committee or on any
Board/Advisory Committee in general. If any, these people are contacted and provided 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.
In the case of the KHI vacancies, the applications were forwardedto the KHI Board for
consideration.
