Subject: 2022 Request forCouncil Members for Project Teams
1. Recommendation :
That the Regional Municipality of Waterloo appoint Regional Councillors to the projects
and study teams as requested in Report TES-22-01/PDL-22-01, dated February 8, 2022;
And that the Regional Municipality of Waterloo forward the requests for area Councillor
representatives on project and study teams to the Area Municipalities.
2. Purpose: To select Regional and Area Municipal Councillors for project teams.
3. Strategic Plan:
The involvement of Regional Councillors on Regional Project Teams is consistent with
the Strategic Focus Area Five: Responsive and Engaging Public Service, which ensures
that the Region enhances opportunities for public engagement, input and involvement in
Region of Waterloo initiatives.
4. Key Considerations:
Those projects and studies which do not already have and would most benefit from
political representative(s) are noted in the table below. These are typically projects
which may have high public interest and/or significant implications for the Region. In
addition to the projects listed below, participation by Councillors on any of the project
teams noted in Appendix A is welcomed. After appointing appropriate Regional
Councillors to these teams, it is recommended that this list be forwarded to the
appropriate Area Municipalities to provide them an opportunity to appoint their
Councillors to some of the project teams.
